Hey guys, sorry for pinning this comment on all videos but I want to give you an update on the channel. I've been slowly adding a show archive to the videos including a full transcript added as sub titles and a full track listing (with links to RUclips videos for each track). Pilkipedia archive link has been added as well and I've been having fun illustrating some of KP's best bits, I'm adding these to a shop incase anyone is interested: www.man-moth.com/ It's taking me a while to update the archives, especially as I don't work Mondays so please bear with me as I chip away at it. Lots of love, Man Moth.
I love how I'm an American (Iowa) who has been listening to these so long that I completely understand the politics and rivalries between the different radio stations in London at the time. Know about Foxy, Moyles, John-O, Christian, etc. Understand references in the Camfield episode where they talk about him on the various stations. I laugh hysterically about the story of the guy proposing on XFM. What am I doing with my life?
I’m also an American who loves these. I go on the Ricky Gervais subreddit sometimes and I’ll occasionally forget that these shows have a predominantly British audience.
No clue if anyone agrees but this episode is great for one big reason. Steve and Ricky spend every episode before this mocking Chris Moyles without ever stepping the line. today Steve just straight up calls him fat and talentless. I love how he just gives up on the hinting
Steve was probably told to say sorry. Or didn't want to be talked about in the magazine's and have a celeb spat. I doubt he cared about Chris moyles feelings.
I listen to these from season 1 to season 4 on a loop at work...I swear to god it's the most hilarious and natural comedy iv ever heard..I laugh every time...Ricky's laugh and reactions are belly laughingly funny
I think that one's entitled "Rodney, ya billlllssshh". That is one CLASSIC bit of rambling, and- good lord- I have listened to all of these so many times. X)
"Don't call me a plonker you fffwwwankkkkrrrr." Whenever I get to that episode I listen to that bit over and over for about 15 minutes. I never get bored of it.
It's mind boggling how much these little titles have added to re-listening to these. Now instead of just clicking on a number, I see the title first, and I immediately start laughing before the damn thing even starts! I just looked at my side bar and saw "A cat that didn't look happy" and let out a hyena cackle that could go to par with Ricky's
Something about this entire series makes me feel life was simpler back in the early 2000s. Especially the conversation about the builders in this episode. Idk why lol.
I've noticed more recently that there are actually SO many jokes that get re-used throughout Gervais/Merchant TV material that have already been used on these XFM shows. At first I was a bit unhappy at realising how much material has just been repackaged, but the jokes are so good I stopped caring!
@@GayIncel My husband’s a builder and I asked him what he’d do if he heard those kinds of comments about himself on the radio. He said he would down tools, leave the job immediately, and invoice Karl for the work he had done so far, and that would be it. He’d let Karl and his ‘good quality cookies’ finish the job. 🍪
It's super cringeworthy in this episode, because he's so used to Ricky telling him he's not being offensive, that he actually confidently says, "I'm not having a go. Tell 'em." I always have to skip those few seconds, because it makes me uncomfortable.
Justin Kline I feel the same. If Karl *already* knows that what he’s about to say can easily be misinterpreted and insensitive, then why does he still say it?? 🤷🏻♀️ He even started the sentence with ‘No...you know I’m not having a go’ His manners are shocking. He really has been dragged up.🤦♀️
"But then again Rick, he's got a job of work. So why would he be listening to this show?" Funny Steve should say that, since this show is what I've often listened to at work over the past couple years haha.
"I'm gonna clear up me act a bit, l'm gonna play a song from the capital radio library, a classic rock song from the late 70's, Devo, with Mongoloid" 😂😂😂😂😂
12:15 a packet of good quality cookies 🍪 gets me every time. I started listening to this way before i ever had a child, now, as a parent, hiding good quality cookies hits different 😅😂😅
Steve: “If you are listening, and you perhaps know me from school or university, I do not need your friendship, I’ve got enough friends… Ricky: “…Better ones!” Cracks me up every time.
GerryBolger It's funny listening to these and finding things that they use in future projects. Sometimes Ricky takes things Karl says and puts them in his standup. Or Steve's story about the too big TV in Extras
Karl’s mum: ‘why karl sad?’ Karl: ‘daddy never gonna stop robbing telephone box 😢’ I imagine that’s the kind of grammatical level that family speaks at 🤣
I love the fact that in the next show the viewers vote Chris moyles as their most hated person. He is now on the rebranded Radio X now! Still being "fat and talentless" incidentally...
+BigJamook funny thing is I know in the UK "fit" means hot but I'm American so at first I was like "how do he know if I'm in good shape??" as my picture obviously does not show my body. I'm a personal trainer though so fit in the American sense as well too I guess haha. But yeah pretty funny when dudes try to pick up over the Internet.
I find it very interesting to listen to these shows, as you can see where material comes from as writers. The television conversation at 32:26 is a whole scene in 'Extras'.
I think Rockbusters is so much better than Songs of Phrase, dunno if thats because I never get the answers or because Rockbusters is slightly more Karl-like
Steve: “You the Listeners, who do you hate?” ... Ricky: “we pick on targets that..that” Steve: “that can’t fight back." Ricky: “Helpless. The elderly, you know people suffering in some way.” Steve: “People who can’t answer back!!” 😆😂🤣

Call it revenge for the phrase GOAT being everywhere in the UK now
Answer, you are spending it indulging in great works of art, as everyone with taste should. Never apologise for being an aesthete.
on loop again. falling asleep again. waking up to Ricky's screech again.
Alan Dodd every dam time 😂but yet I still do it every night dammit
never loop
Same, just now
That's why I am amazed people can sleep to these.
"This is a desperate feature" Cracks me up every single time
Matt Storey it really is awful
@@daniele551 funny joke
Karl's refusal to write down the answers to his various quizzes never ceases to amuse me.
Well, he don't need to 🤣
i can remember them
You’d think he’d learn
Or how he asks Steve for a winner before he gives the answers out every single time

@@mariewilliams194 on RUclips you can find a really awkward interview between Moyles and Merchant long after this was recorded. Moyles brings it up.
@@Wearenotwell haha awesome
Moyles is a massive twat though. His radio x show is unlistenable
So basically if Karl and Suzanne didn't need a new kitchen, these episodes wouldn't exist.

I listen to all the podcasts at least twice through every year. It's my therapy.
It never gets dull, by the time you have completed a loop, the old content becomes fresh. It is like painting the humber bridge in Hull, UK.
I've realised from XFM I know the first and last line of Mollys Chambers by Kings of Leon but none of the rest of the song...
+Miles McClagan Your pistol!
And whatever that song is that ends Another Planet!
Another girl another planet. Same here.
Moayed Alghamdi also "I didn't mean to hurt you". oh my corazon by Tim Burgess.
Not recognising Come Back Around by Feeder until the last 3 seconds
"Hit it, net!" I'm crying laughing. Put these on to sleep but end up giggling away.
You'd literally get sacked and prevented from ever being on the radio again if you said that now 😅
But he is absolutely right though. The quality of matches like that are generally more boring if there never is something suspenseful going on
Ricky suddenly singing londons heart 106.2 while Steve is speaking is one of my favourite xfm moments
I think that one's entitled "Rodney, ya billlllssshh". That is one CLASSIC bit of rambling, and- good lord- I have listened to all of these so many times. X)
what member of the cast was that? was that cheeky del?
VIRGIN! one oh five point eight!

"yeah, yeah yeah... but why? Why aren't you still there?" - one of my favorite karl pilkington quotes/timing.

Yeh he’s desperate to stop them talking about it. Brilliant
@@jodu626 No, he was making a joke: it was obvious why they weren't still there.

Tom Cowan Ricky just gives it cheese
+Joel Cameron 'Don't do that, mate.' x
BigJamook I just nearly burst out cackling in front of relatives when I heard that in the voice! Oh man. You win.
"David Dickinson's tan nearly took my eyeballs out"
And he keeps turning to the camera just to get ya. Turns and takes a cornea.
That bit was in Extras too.
"I don't know who you are, can't remember ya, not bothered"
One of my favourite lines in any episode 👍
Something about this entire series makes me feel life was simpler back in the early 2000s. Especially the conversation about the builders in this episode. Idk why lol.
When everyone had a radio in their kitchen and 42” TVs were considered huge
32:28 Steve getting a tv that was to big became a joke used for Darren Lamb in "Extras."
I've noticed more recently that there are actually SO many jokes that get re-used throughout Gervais/Merchant TV material that have already been used on these XFM shows. At first I was a bit unhappy at realising how much material has just been repackaged, but the jokes are so good I stopped caring!
Everything they say on Xfm they turned into a joke. That's why the Xfm stuff is so great.
I feel like the woman that was Gervais’ friend on Extras was semi based on Karl.
@@Jaspyboy, the podcasts are almost all recycled material from XFM.
It only sucks because I paid for them. But it wasn't a lot of money.
@@kraken589 the cleaner in the Office does Karl's "did you see gaylords last night"
I can just imagine Karl's horrified face when he realises that builder could be listening in 😂😂
And he doubles down lol

Mayo on his knees outside McDonald's gets me every time 🤣
Cmon Maude, let's go down to the JCR!
Steve you better have that spotless by the time I get back ....alright I will.
I keep listening to these 3 and every episode there comes a point when I think I can’t believe this was on the radio😂
😂😂
Stephen's 42 inch 3 grand plasma inch TV being way too big really dates these shows
Well, three and a half... Big spender
"Come on Maude, let's go to the JCR! Wa-hey!"
Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
My favourite ever Steve story.
@@JSCwrd Yeah. It's so good.
"Insulting a British Workman"
i love how karl thinks saying "im not having a go" makes it ok.
It's super cringeworthy in this episode, because he's so used to Ricky telling him he's not being offensive, that he actually confidently says, "I'm not having a go. Tell 'em." I always have to skip those few seconds, because it makes me uncomfortable.
Justin Kline wat
Justin Kline I feel the same.
If Karl *already* knows that what he’s about to say can easily be misinterpreted and insensitive, then why does he still say it?? 🤷🏻♀️
He even started the sentence with ‘No...you know I’m not having a go’
His manners are shocking.
He really has been dragged up.🤦♀️
Tell 'em
The most offensive bit is where he says " i know we stopped cheeky freak of the week..." and then goes onto too talk about people in wheelchairs
Love the ending with Steve encouraging Ricky, both "trying" to save their radio careers
Love Karl's comment of "When it's got good toys and that, it's well worth going".
How do people fall asleep not listening to these?!?!
7:16 This unravelled into some of the best moments in the history of live broadcasting.
"London's heart: 1 0hhh 6 point twoooo - ooooo"
Great station.
Virgin Radio Londonnnn...
“Stay under your particular rock” Steve is hilarious
Can’t remember ya, don’t know who you are, not bothered
6:54 omggg this is one of ricky's finest moments. im in tears every time
Who's the little bald, manc twat insulting me?
Just in time for bed again. I love that you are doing this. Thanks again man.
What do you mean? It's 4:00pm nice and sunny out. 😉
I'm from Scotland its 10 here
Eventually It Loaded just kidding around, what's up Scotland
At night? IN THE MORNING!
"Steve, you better have that spotless by the time I come back."
Underrated line
"But then again Rick, he's got a job of work. So why would he be listening to this show?"
Funny Steve should say that, since this show is what I've often listened to at work over the past couple years haha.
"I'm gonna clear up me act a bit, l'm gonna play a song from the capital radio library, a classic rock song from the late 70's, Devo, with Mongoloid" 😂😂😂😂😂
It is a classic though. Love that song :)
stoox006 lol really??
Jason Eaton yeah, Devo are amazing.
And we never found out if the builders were listening...
12:15 a packet of good quality cookies 🍪 gets me every time.
I started listening to this way before i ever had a child, now, as a parent, hiding good quality cookies hits different 😅😂😅
One of the best episodes this, Ricky and Steve at their best
Might be my favourite episode. Superb from start to finish. Peak Karl slagging off the builders 😂
a pack of good quality cookies hahaha
Steve: “If you are listening, and you perhaps know me from school or university, I do not need your friendship, I’ve got enough friends…
Ricky: “…Better ones!”
Cracks me up every time.
31:29 imagine going up to Karl as an old friend from his school and he just says “I don’t know who you are, can’t remember ya, I’m not bothered.”
Steve saying "rubbish" after hearing songs of phrase is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life
-15:25 amazing Steve anecdote that Rick tops off with such a good bit, their chemistry is amazing!
After all these years you STILL make me laugh :)
I love the mention of Les Dennis, they used the same story in Extras and he was probably the funniest cameo after Patrick Stewart..
GerryBolger It's funny listening to these and finding things that they use in future projects. Sometimes Ricky takes things Karl says and puts them in his standup. Or Steve's story about the too big TV in Extras
58:30 love when Ricky does these satirical pisstakes of usual radio chat
Man Moth you're a legend putting all these on here
Still listening these in the background at work.
20 years later...still best comedy show out there...No PC at all :)...brilliant
Listing 2024 most nights before bed 🤠
55:55
Don't mind me, I'm just saving my favourite moments from each episode for my next round trip 👍
Nothing ages this more than SteVe moaning about a 42 inch tv being to big 😂
Steve says something about "richard dean anderson" starring on one of the prize dvd's... Surely not dicky anders?
na dats wrong no, MacGyver
Yeah, he specifically mentions that.
Was drinking a Dr pepper and had to hold it in on that part about the builders 😂😂😂
Product placement on the BBC!
Ricky talking about Simon Mayo 😂 whenever i hear his name now i just think of Ricky
On the topic of tele screen sizes being too big.
Ricky- "Why do you go the cinema then?"....
Karl- "To see films that aren't out yet.
Genius.
Play a record, mate.
Love how they used Steve's TV story in Extras
I can’t believe that story about the maid in Merchant’s shoes didn’t make the animated version.
They only used material from the podcasts for that.
@@kraken589 yeah but basically all of it is recycled content from this so i think he's saying they should have recycled that part as well
This show would not get made today and if it did "Little fellas in wheelchairs" would end their careers lol
not so sure
Nah. Especially because their producer in The Office was a little fella in a wheelchair
Literally could listen to these 3 all day
lol the titles make these seem so enigmatic!
The Les Dennis episode on Extras was written here 😂
50:34 WRITE THEM DOWN
Don't need to.
@@akayakayz Hahaha "don't need to"? You've proved that you do!
20:10 "this is a desperate feature"
never fails me
A full year later and I'm doing another runthrough of the podcasts... Cheers Manmoth
you know its an old show when a 42" tv was way too big XD
And when it’s 3.5 grand when now you can get an OLED from LG 42 inches for a quarter of the price
A pack of good quality cookies can help any man or women in desperate need i know cause im eating foxs cookies hahahahaha
20:10 “This is a desperate feature.” “It really is awful.”
Steve saying "Radio 1" and Ricky laughing just before they fade into the Darkness song made me laugh

Just the episode title alone, you know it’s going to be a belter
Karl’s mum: ‘why karl sad?’

I love the fact that in the next show the viewers vote Chris moyles as their most hated person.
He is now on the rebranded Radio X now!
Still being "fat and talentless" incidentally...
"Moylesy, Harry Potter, Jamie Oliver".
Karl’s mates baby will be 16 this year 😳
Karl probably hasn't met him still 😂
Does anyone else still get scared that Karl is going to quit when listening to this episode? 👀😆
I think Chris Moyles was the James Cordon of the early 2000s
42:23 this is just a replay button for me.
Totally agree with Karl about the baby thing.

Good quality cookies~ priceless!
