Karl is really talented, thanks to Ricky and Steve for finding him for us. Sick of It was brilliant

Re Campbell and Air Cadets… lies were lies, legs pulls, wind ups, show offs etc back in the day - now, it’s Trolling, to which people get wrong. Trolling IS Campbell ie saying something that could be true but isn’t. Trolling isn’t saying “I think Scotland are going to win Euro 2024”…

I had a note passed along by a mate - Alistair Butterworth - to a girl I like - Claire Sutton - in year 3, so we’re about 8. All it said was “do you want to go out with me?” And a box to write a reply. The reply came back verbally from Butterworth… “yes, for a Cadbury’s Easter Egg” “They’re expensive!!!!!” As for the, bands are better with ‘The’ before them, I just recently informed someone that it’s not THE Eagles, just EAGLES

Best interview I've heard on Karl.

I was gonna pop champagne but that gives Karl heartburn!! 😜 thanks for this mate… Karl was the best part of XFM and all the rest that followed.. I’m 99.99999% we all listened for our Karl .. period. Cheers for this podcast

6:30 to skip the shit

James has made me desperately want mcnuggets at 5 in the morning :/

If the title didn't say it was James I'd never know. His voice sounds different

A gaggle of “mongeese” 🤣 4:03:50

Some men here, they know the full extent of your distress. They kneel and pray and they say "long may it last"

James Acaster is so naturally funny. Definitely like top 5 favourite human beings.

Thanks for compiling these!

Rrrè

Do you need someone to kill a conversation dead ? Call Nish kumar. Most unfunny creature on earth

Nish Kumar’s contributions are like ones mother joining in in a threesome.

This was Epic. Thank you! 👏

Any chance of getting PILKIO back on. He's fell off the map recently 😢

3:12:00

Ok but hold on, why is The Wow! Scenario actually good??

Listening to this on 9/11 🥲

Josh Widdicombe's voice reminds me of Zippy from Rainbow. I picture this whole thing as Acaster talking to Zippy.

I love what he made out of the Twister story for Repertoire but the original story is hilarious as well 😂😂

Thanks for this epic compilation, it got me through 2 days of work, so good.

the dog story is hysterical, i want to know what they were saying so bad

This video taught me everything about AuDiO LeVeLs!

James Acaster, Bob Mortimer and Karl Pilkington need a podcast together. Just the three of them discussing the weird shit that has happened to them. They could start with child hood and work their way up to present day episode by episode 😂😂

Having heard/read most of these stories in different forms, it's interesting hearing how they were told for the first time and seeing the ways James has tweaked them since.

"Tell us a story" *interrupts story for the next 15 minutes*

Does anyone find Nish as funny as Nish does? He makes some of these unbearable

I know how I will strike fear into my enemies in future. "my associate's are going to duff you up"

21:49 I've never got antlers through the post, but I could have. I've been adopting a reindeer (or rather my grandparents have adopted them but it's been under my name) since I was about 3 and I've had 2 letters where they had been able to collect the antlers of the reindeer I was adopting and that I could buy. I didn't buy them, but if I had, I would have had reindeer antlers delivered by post.

Its funny to hear James Acaster all giggly unlike his straight-faced stage presence

Hypnodisc 😄

Discovered this video a few months back and since then I'm pretty sure I've listened to this 20 times over!

These are brilliant, they have always been brilliant, and though I love the audiobook, this format is great because of Josh and all the others reacting and laughing. It’s also fun spotting all the other comics who come on.

Classic Alistair

1:44:47 I have a similar one. I was helping my mom conduct her PhD dissertation data surveys, which involved going around to some primary schools and handing kids surveys to fill out and then bringing them back. I was well aware that strange men wandering the halls of primary schools was not looked upon kindly, but when I was on the 4th or 5th visit to one school for another round of surveys, the teacher I was meeting met me at the entrance and escorted me to her classroom without giving me the chance to sign in first, and then had me wait in the hall while she went in to settle the class and get them ready for their survey. And while I was standing their outside this classroom with no visitor badge or any other symbol that I was allowed to be there, the principal came walking by. I was lucky to get out of that without going to jail.

It's a bit of a classic that if James isn't compiling these then someone else is monetizing all his scrapes from the mid twenty-teens and before.

Too bad the whole thing has Josh Widdicombe's painfully awful laugh going off every few seconds.

I really wish someone who spoke English and French had heard what was said about the Dog and the ensuing chaos.

Nish Kumar may be the actual unfunniest person on the planet.

Nish ruins every bit.

Well that helped my work day fly by

Imagine if James Acaster had been on the Ricky gervais xfm shows as a 4th member of the crew. That would have been incredible. Instead we have to listen to Josh widdecombe constantly chiming in!

So glad you warned me that it‘s „hialrious“ in the title. Very helpful.

"I don't know when this well is going to run dry, but hopefully we'll get a few more weeks out of it." *Looks to see there is still 4 1/2 hours of video left*

Nish kumar isn’t funny

Love this interview, its refreshing where Ricky isnt interrupting Karl all the time

Razor was one of the best robots 🤖

I haven't read the book, but when I checked the Amazon page it is listed as #1 in gambling addiction biographies...
