Phil loves Egbert deeply, but Egbert describes himself as “a raging psychopath” and a “human maggot”. Phil insists that Egbert is the sweetest person he’s ever met and once saved a baby scorpion from drowning. The one place Egbert can let go is in the bedroom, where his “horrible” self is able to meld into Phil’s “beautiful” self and become “one normal person”. Karen encourages Egbert to appreciate his gifts and to get in touch with his true nature. To be honest, she doesn’t really get Phil, but sets him the same homework task anyway. On today's episode, Phil was played by Tom Fahey (Catch him weekly on ‘The Quest Inn at the Centre of the Universe’ podcast @questinnpodcast on Instagram) and Egbert was played by Hill Kuttner (@derhugel on Instagram).
