The Ricky Javees Show on Guardian Unlimited.

Hello and welcome to another Ricky Javee show with me, Ricky Javais, Steve Merchant.

Hello.

And Carl Pilkington.

All right.

The ninth in the series of 12 podcasts we're doing for free.

Absolutely free of charge.

We're getting, um, we've, we've already done over sort of two and a half million downloads. We'll probably do four million downloads by the end of the series. If I had a quid, I don't even want to discuss it, Rick. You are gutting like me. I'm absolutely furious, because I said to you when we studied, I said, why, why? You were going, oh, let's give something free back to the fans.

And I was saying, it's not worth it.

They don't deserve it.

But no, you demanded it. And I wanted to pay. I want to charge crazy money for it. I've been a fool. We've had about something like 6,000 emails as well. If we could channel this to good, because, you know what I mean? This internet has been set up.

Billions and billions and billions of dollars go on this cyber highway, back and forth,

doing good stuff, communicating, sending people into space, commerce.

And people, hundreds of thousands of people are sending me pictures of Carl as a monkey.

I know, exactly.

I mean, it's unbelievable.

It's not what this system was created for.

Thank you for all your emails as well. That cost us as well a little bit, because they're going through the website which costs us a little bit of money. It also costs me and my precious time, having to wade through the crap that gets sent to us. Thanks to Kieran, Gabriel from Merseyside, who sent me a picture of Carlos Bruce Willis.

It's the effort.

We'll put all these up on the website. to us. Thanks to Keir and Gabriel from Merseyside, who sent me a picture of Carl as Bruce Willis.

It's the effort.

We'll put all these up on the website.
