Well, episode two of season three of the Ricky Javee show with me, Ricky Javees, Stephen Merchant.

Hello there.

And Carl Pilkington.

All right.

What's been going on? What's been going on?

I have been to hospital. I was rushed to hospital, right, emergency in that. I had a tube put up my knob. You had a tube put up your knob? Yeah. What's the story? Kidney stones. Ooh. So, shouldn't really be here, to be honest, doing this. He said rest, and that. Climbing them stairs on the way in. To be quite honest, it doesn't look like you're expending a lot of energy at the moment. It's like at the zoo keep going, all that sloth move today. Calm down. Yeah, but I had to get here. It's been raining. Yeah. And to come up the stairs, they had to carry the computer.

Yeah.

Well, that's not entirely true, because your girlfriend was carrying it. I saw her outside. Yeah, but what I'm just saying. And then you handed it to me and said, Steve carry this. Oh, almighty. Yeah, I know. That's already a lie. Christ almighty. Winging. Not whinging. I'm in show business. I know loads of people that wake up every day with a sore knob feeling like they've had their kidneys probed,

and they, you know, they will say they're unconscious.

So they don't whinge about it.

They get straight back on to it.

A lot of them on TV now.

Yeah, straight back to hosting game shows.

So... Yeah, straight back to hosting game shows.

So, you're asked to hospital.

So take us through the events, because it does sound quite dramatic.

You started feeling a bit of pain, did you initially?

Felt a bit of pain.

And I thought, you know, maybe I just pulled a muscle or something.

I would have been wrestling with Ricky and that,

because you don't know what damage is being done.

So I just think it'll go in a minute, and then it didn't.
