Segments

Monkey news

Monkey News is a popular feature that has been running since the early XFM days where at first it was titled
"Chimpanzee That". Monkey News is all about "[a story] where a monkey has been involved". Normally the monkey
is a mysterious protagonist until he is revealed, despite the fact that it is obvious that it is a monkey
(or, most commonly, a chimp) throughout the story. The stories often originate from a tale that Karl has made
up or extrapolated out of all recognition from a news headline or from an urban legend or even an old joke.

Monkey News is an easy way to anger Ricky, who often disrupts the show due to being so wound up with disbelief —
and even in one XFM show he left the room out of frustration because he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Stephen Merchant normally defends Karl's right to deliver the story in full, vigorously, (on one occasion
actually cutting off Gervais' microphone for his continuing lambasting Karl), but even he has been driven to
verbally abuse Karl during the most obviously fictional or extreme of his stories. Despite the fact that the stories
are frequently highly unlikely (or even completely impossible), Pilkington appears to genuinely believe what he is
saying. These interruptions and confrontations often turn Monkey News into a sort of collaborative shaggy dog story.

During their podcast Ricky and Steve try to disprove his monkey news by "casually" talking of the story being told
and how the central character could not possibly be a monkey due to need of high intelligence, etc. While usually
right, Ricky did incorrectly state that chimpanzees do not have opposable thumbs, when trying to prove that a chimp
could not use a tool.

According to Karl on 20 February 2006 podcast, Monkey News will no longer form part of future podcasts. However, it
came back for a final reprise at the end of the third podcast series. This feature's introduction usually consists
of Ricky shouting, "Ooh, Chimpanzee That! Monkey News!", often with a swearword, or the beginning of one, at the end.

Karl's Diary

Karl started keeping a record of his thoughts and experiences whilst on holiday in Gran Canaria with his girlfriend Suzanne.
The segment first appeared in episode 8 of the Guardian Unlimited podcasts (23 January 2006). Karl compared his literary
efforts to those of Anne Frank, claiming that "If she's sat in a, you know, a loft knockin' stuff up, not much goin' on
in 'er life at that point, yet she was still writin' it down...I thought well I'm on holiday an' I have got stuff goin'
on...start a diary".

Memorable diary moments include: conceptualizing a wristwatch that counts down the remainder of your life, the large number
of cross-eyed people at the hotel on Gran Canaria and the cat licking its testicles outside the pub, also in Gran Canaria
the bar called "Tattoos" where the landlord never had Tattoos but Karl never saw the landlord's wife, the time Karl refused
to wash his hands after eating lemon cake at Ricky's house leading to a major argument, Karl thinking that both him and
Ricky Gervais are bored when they go to meetings as "after twenty minutes he (Ricky) was trying to wrestle me", Karl's
idea for a television programme Look what we can do with Science in which parts of a person's body are gradually removed
until just the head remains, the post Karl received that was addressed to Mr K. Dilkington, the time Karl was carrying a
lamp and bin when moving house and people thought he was in a marathon, the tongue twister "if you can't treat a cheerful
tramp, what sort of tramp can you treat?", that certain tribes of cavemen wave their "tackle" about when they've had enough
of visitors, and the 'experimental' mirrored wall in Karl's flat that he has stuck wallpaper over.

The diary itself is a large desk diary and is usually read by Stephen Merchant.

Karl's poetry

In the third series of the podcasts, Karl had decided to write a poem based on his daily experiences and learnings.
