SO happy to be able to share this episode with you guys! Ricky is a huge inspiration of ours, so it's always an honour to sit down personally with him and learn from him! Please drop a like on the episode!

You can tell. All your humour is ripped from gervais

[@christiesd4524]

Love the podcasts Jack but could you look into altering the sound as it’s too quiet on some parts? Great to see you with Gervais though you can see that your humour is inspired by him. :)

Finished after life yesterday. Cried of laugher and of sadness in about 10 mins of first ep! Loved it and love ricky!❤️❤️ love u jack too xxxxx

Got to respect Rickys outlook on life. Says he don't want to be a role model but his attitude to life will be an example to so many people. Legend.

I think you did this brilliantly Jack, this is the best of the recent Ricky podcasts because he so clearly really likes you and your personalities are very well suited. You managed to get more genuine answers from him because I reckon he sees a bit of himself in you. You appealed to his roots and where he came from which I've always thought is where Ricky's genius comes from. Top job mate.

[@heatherc772]

Well said SavannahPhotographic. Agree!

That’s actually a very minor crime tho. Since the people didn’t know the gun had blanks it’s still assault (scaring someone) but that has a max sentence of 6 months. Plus the crime of owning the gun

@@lacari0805 --It's armed robbery EVEN with a clearly fake pistol,which can get you 10 yrs!

[@lacari0805]

bus king As it’s not a real gun they can’t be charged for weapon possession. For example in the case of London vs DPP the defendant used a fake gun to scare (apprehend violence) the victim but even though it was a fake gun they were still scared. Remember this is U.K. law if you’re in the US

I wonder how many black t-shirts Ricky Gervais has...

[@IAmRedherrings]

I vaguely remember him saying he didn't like being judged on what he wore because of a dodgy jumper he got shit for wearing on Jonathan Ross, so he decided to only wear stuff that he can't be judged on. You found a way though somehow... Lol

[@georgemiddlemore2458]

IAmRedherrings pretty sure he’s just actually wondering how many shirts he has.

[@charlieblackett]

IAmRedherrings yeah, not judging at all. I would never judge anybody on what they wore, but especially not someone I’ve paid money to see on 4 different occasions...lol

My brother died this year from covid. My dad and I found him. 34 yrs old. Ricky put his heart out there with afterlife. Rickys writing brought tears to my eyes.

[@TRGoldjkp]

I've been loving Ricky Gervais lately, binge watching all his stand ups, interviews and podcasts. I think he's honestly a genius

[@heatherc772]

I think he is genius as well. Not just comedy, irony, acting...but his intellect is admirable.

[@carlhughes4930]

Absolutely loving Ricky at the moment. The complete comic, in my opinion 👌🏽

[@Pwwh0711]

Frankie Boyle doesn't share your opinion! I bet Ricky won't take him on like he did Dawn French!

[@0wls2k]

One of the best things Ricky's done is recognise and give air time to David Earl over the years, absolute genius that guy.

Really loving the podcast Jack, I look forward to it every week, makes the drive to university 10 times better, keep it up!

[@alexwilliamjones41]

I'm a huge Ricky Gervais fan and have been for fifteen or so years. Having kept a keen eye on his recent interviews, I realised how much he repeats himself, often telling the same anecdotes across multiple interviews. Having not been a fan of KZbinrs I chose not to watch this when it came out, but watching it now I realise this is a really refreshing and original insight. Go on lad, interview by somebody who's obviously a real fan.

[@brodieblair5605]

This was a really enjoyable podcast and you could tell Ricky appreciated the thoughtful questions. Had laughs, serious moments and the bits were you asked for advice on stand up/writing was genuinely wholesome af. Great work 👌

[@beckscald3855]

I love it when Ricky is on your podcast. It's no media questions that he's going to get in every interview. Obviously there's some things you have to ask, like what is After Life about but other than that always seems fun.

[@K_wood]

After life was great, Ricky is a master at combining emotions in his shows.

[@CrimeGirl]

Ricky & Jack back again! I remember watching the first one! I was in awe he came on!!

[@dadinareasonablypricedcar]

He’s a top guy and one of very few celebrities that are down to earth. I’ve recently watched his Netflix series afterlife and I’m annoyed with myself that I didn’t watch it sooner because it’s brilliant. Ricky must have been a pleasure to talk with and I could only imagine how much fun someone working with him would have. Thanks for the podcast Jack it’s made me love this guy even more to hear about his charity work too
