The Ricky Gervais Show

I have a question to present to the table, and I was hoping everyone could do some research and tell me their conclusions. Trust me, you'll never do more entertaining research.

If you haven't heard it already, Ricky Gervais -- from the original British version of The Office, and the excruciating but funny Extras -- has a podcast. If you have iTunes, download this file, which iTunes will know how to open. If not, and you know how to do podcasting, use this link:

Otherwise, you're just going to have to miss out.

Okay, down to brass tacks, gentlemen. Basically the show works like this, Ricky and his writing partner Steve Merchant toss up a subject and their former producer, Karl Pilkington, makes these outrageous comments about it.

What I'm struggling to figure out is, is Karl Pilkington faking it? Which is less likley: for someone to be that stupid or someone to be that adept at coming up with these insane boneheaded theories?

Please have a listen, not just because you should because it's outstanding, but I want to know what other people think.
