I listen to the XFM radio shows almost daily before going to sleep, it's become somewhat like a hobby but one that gives me immense joy and laughter. It is a shame that the 3 kingpins of podcasting Ricky, Steve & Karl don't do it anymore. Their first 2 seasons of the XFM show is just comedy and radio GOLD. Glad to see Steve is looking healthy and doing his own thing these days, top man 👍
Same here, probably due to how xfm used to be done as they all were pretty genuine and laid back allowing their true personalities to shine hence the feeling of familiarity
Such a funny, witty bloke. I love the stuff he writes. Seeing verbatim quotes from a 20 year old tinpot radio show he did on every video featuring him is funny.
@@ChorltonOutlaw absolutely, Ricky admitted they hadn't fallen out recently on one of his live streams. He said he doesn't usually answer the question to wind up the people up who keep asking, which was followed by a classic Gervais cackle 😂
@@bentitchener5965They don't speak anymore. Ricky doesn't speak to Karl either. I think they've just got some sort of arrangement to keep it civil in public but they always come out with "differing schedules" BS excuse. Neither of them would answer a question on when they last spoke or met because it's probably going on a decade now. Steven is still on good terms with Karl though.
I noticed the 'Hello Ladies' poster in the background. I loved that show. Stephen's sense of what constitutes humour, is so good and varied. All my life I have been able to write stuff in a way that makes people laugh. But I will do that once or twice a year. I can't imagine the stress involved in writing comedy successfully, week after week. I so appreciate his talent.
I do think it's sweet he has a framed picture of him and Ricky on the wall. Many saucer drinkers have theorized they fell out but I like to think there's still a lot of affection there.
How are a low subscriber channels managing to regularly get celebrities on? I've noticed a couple of them recently and none of those channels seem to be much more than a year or two old.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼He is brilliant, and Bristolian( like me ) The 3 toilet problem was my prob when I moved. I still need to buy a toilet brush for my Third bathroom 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦘🌻🦘
You can buy DVD players,you can get good ones for not much money.I hope they're always be a place for dvds as there are rare films etc that you might not be able to see otherwise on streaming platforms
You can also play any DVD on a CD/R drive on a pc, many still have them installed as standard, and I think you can even buy external ones. Of course it is also still possible to extract any data from a DVD disk with certain softwares
@@James-ju4gj I have an external one because the last couple of computers I've owned ridiculously enough don't have CD drives built in. TBF I don't use them very much, sometimes play DVDs (rarely) and grab the info from CDs (also rarely but I have a couple of huge Bach box sets for instance).
Why hasnt Steven got a poster of him from the show where he played a homosexual serial killer murdering all those little gay fellas? He was brilliant in that.
Hate Karaoke so much. Hahaha. I'm going to a festival in August and there is Barrioke hosted by Shaun Williamson. Is Stephen Merchant still his agent? Lmao
Has he got the 50p back yet?
On the day that he got free kegs of beer as well... Diabolical...
It's not about the 50p
It's like a bit of weird art
That chair behind Steve looks wipe downable...
@@pauldaviespoppersefc8172cleanable 😂
I'm still gutted he missed out on that Voice over work, thanks karl
He's still angry about that 50p too.

Glad he got the portal 2 gig though, no thanks to karl..:)
LOVING the amount of XFM comments here😂. Play a record.
Who let you in?
Eyes bulging with imagined Prime discounts
😂😂😂
As Stephen Merchant or as a worm?
There's this thing in it.
It could be your brother
So good
I've gotten used to him now
Same i had to do a double take at first
Are his parents shocked by his looks when they haven't seen him in a while?
Remember when he did a little move and it reminded Karl of Blakey
Ooh er Gervais
It's the eyes
Why are you listing shit

DVD’s….do we need ‘em?
Remember when Steve got his parents car stuck doing a 3 point turn and just started crying.
Great days 👍
Where’s a giant magnet when you need one?
Steve, do you want to buy any speakers?
Do pigs come?
It’s weird but I feel like I know Steve cause I listen to him almost every day. He’s so oddly familiar
i know what you mean,, he feels less like a millionaire celebrity and more like someone you'd meet at a bar,,,
Same here, probably due to how xfm used to be done as they all were pretty genuine and laid back allowing their true personalities to shine hence the feeling of familiarity
@@robertjackson8950 he would be a millionaire regardless, he's tight with money
Is this a recent interview or years old,?
@@captaingingerbread3874 seems very recent!
Did that just go out?
First time seeing this Steve fella, bit of a shock but got used to it as the podcast went on.
I would have put him in the distance.
Do you worry that he'll be alone when he's older?
Absolutely mad that Steve did this, an hour long interview?! Amazing. Well done
Such a funny, witty bloke. I love the stuff he writes. Seeing verbatim quotes from a 20 year old tinpot radio show he did on every video featuring him is funny.
Man alive, interminable!
Love Steve.
I think I see that famous copy of “Zen and the art of motorbike maintenance” on the bookshelf
Bloody Martin Wells
When you go home at Christmas is it still a shock to your mum and dad? Oh, here he is ..
He's done ya again!!
Its wipe cleanable

That picture of him and Ricky in the back. 😢
shows they can't hate each other if he has a pic specifically of them together up which is nice

Is that the orthopedic chair😂
It looks very dry-wipeable
There he is... eyes bulging with imagined riches
Imagined? He's probably doing alright for himself.

Rewatching it today ...totally underrated...I don't get why it got cancelled...doesn't make sense
Ricky and Steve used to diss Karl for giving away VHSes back in 2002, yet Merchant still has a VHS player in 2024!
Panned and scanned
Have you got a ruler, Rick?
This host definitely doesn't start ironing his jeans until round half 11, and then takes that last tube ride home. You know the one..
just found this channel how come it doesnt have that many subs but so many good guests? Loved the pod
it makes no sense
Lanky cowriter stephen merchant took to the dancefloor with brent-esque results
Xfm jokes aside - I really enjoyed this.
I just think there must be a tractor sale on somewhere....
Love that Steve has IKEA furniture.....all that money, and he still gets a Billy bookcase!
Look after the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves, alright, simple to remember, good advice.
And that chair screams ebay
God help you if you owe him 50p
Still going into charity shops
Well spotted, l was going to get rid of my Billy’s. Might reconsider.
Never mind Amazon, where've you been for 3 days??
is that the orthopedic dry wipe chair?!
Has he made “Merchants Navy” yet?
Do you mean Stephen Mitchell? Mitchlings?
Mr. K. Dilkington would love this podcast.
I do think it's sweet he has a framed picture of him and Ricky on the wall. Many saucer drinkers have theorized they fell out but I like to think there's still a lot of affection there.
I love that 20 years after the podcasts he still has the same laugh
37:30 who are you, bruce forsyth?
first podcast with steve in years. what a treat. nice to see into his office with the gervais photo 'n all
Steve, do you want to buy any speakers?
I've always enjoyed the work of Das Lanken Freaken Goggle-eye Stephen Mitchell.
Those coasters look rubbish - what you want is a clippable mat.
Any chance of the 50p back ?
His done you again Steve

Good point. Is it available on other platforms and the RUclips account is an afterthought?
@@angrynorway I did think that, but no links or background info in bio.
It's weird. From what I can see on Spotify this podcast started back in 2019 😮
@@j-dog69 That makes sense then. Probably built up on Spotify and slow dripped that content onto RUclips.
The hosts are usually connected to the industry as well
Hey Steve, is Karl's boiler fixed yet?
He's still got his special eye's.
Oggie oggie oggie!
I never thought I'd see you climax with Stephen Merchant. What a mental image :)
When you go back again, it’s Christmas time. Are they like, ‘uh here he is’.
This was great, why dont you have more subs!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼He is brilliant, and Bristolian( like me )
The 3 toilet problem was my prob when I moved. I still need to buy a toilet brush for my Third bathroom 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦘🌻🦘

i was watchings extras earlier and i swear he had less hair in 2006 than now. did he have a trip to turkey?
Got the teeth done while there too. Little 2 for 1 deal. Why throw money away!
Have you got a ruler Rick?
Steve Mitchell?
Eyes that pop out of their head.....Steve
To see at night as well as an owl, you would need eyes the size of grapefruits. If only Stephen could turn his head right round as well.
It was like some sort of, weird art.
24:00 that's very rude I don't even know who that is so it is very cheeky.
Steve ‘How Much’ Merchant
It’s like weird art
