Karl Pilkington chats to the Two Shot Podcast (Full Episode 2020)

[@SLMediaie]

When Karl says he hasn’t done much and doesn’t understand why people care about him, he doesn’t realise how much joy and happiness his TV appearances brought to millions of people.

[@meeeeemz25]

I am going through a hard time at work... really dealing with depression and Karl makes me laugh from the bottom of my heart. Thank God Karl is in our lives.....

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

The combination of humility and honesty makes it almost impossible not to like Karl

[@CHRISTSPIRACY.comJESUSwasVegan]

you wrote it so i didnt have to! exactly!! he has literally changed my life

[@gemmagreen7340]

I wouldnt push Suzanne out of the way!! I would love to meet her! He talks about her all the time! I would be delighted to meet her...headlocks are a bit much though!

[@GayTruckDriver]

He was just doing his job

[@josephblackstudios]

I really wish Karl would see more value in what he does. When he spoke about feeling like he's not doing anything of purpose in comparison to Hitchens or someone academically sucessful I think he's completely wrong. His work has brought so much happiness to so many people, and got people through really difficult periods in their life. Whether one is happy or sad, Karl always makes the day better; and making someone's life better, or making someone smile, is the most valuable thing you can do. We love you Karl

[@featheredraven]

I just said the same thing. It sounds like he is completely unaware of how much laughter and happiness he has brought to peoples lives, just focuses on a few negative comments that aren't even that bad (new work not the same as old work).

[@janderson2709]

Does Karl mention Hitchens by name

[@josephblackstudios]

Jacob Anderson he does at 53:30 it’s interesting to hear him mention him.

[@janderson2709]

Joseph Black wow. That is incredible

[@marv5078]

I agree

[@HarvezUK]

Karl's reluctance to interrupt the cleaner because "she's just trying to get her job done" tells you everything you need to know about him. Great bloke.

shows how downhill humanity has gone if not interrupting someone makes them a great bloke in comparison to most

On the other hand his reluctance to help his neighbour by taking a parcel in suggests you shouldn't judge someone on just one data point. After all the Amazon driver is 'just trying to get his job done'

[@exile2721]

Honestly I was literally thinking this without reading it. He is actually perfect for a podcast. He has such a sweet take on most things among having a head like fucking... yeah

[@c0rse]

I can see this being a good idea given that he even said he really likes the idea of Craig's job.

[@wstr9963]

God I would LOVE that!

[@Harpdashian]

I honestly can’t imagine him running his own show

[@davidh7126]

At 24 minutes he is basically describing a podcast

[@automuckme]

1:02:56 Karl goes on this extremely insightful rant about how people see him like he's Homer Simpson and just want him to be the same character and do the same bits his entire life, but he can't even if he wanted to because he's older and a different person now. He then immediately proceeds into classic Karl/(Homer Simpson) 1:04:40 telling another one of his infamous stories in only the way he can. He claims that he can't give us what we want anymore because he isn't his past self anymore, but he doesn't realize that it's his personality, the way he processes/analyzes/expresses his thoughts and opinions, the way he tells a story, that make him the person that we've all come to love, something that will never change.

[@thehammurabichode7994]

Interesting / justifiably complimentary enough that I hope he sees it

[@QwilSchirmer]

The podcast route is a good one for him, even though he's said he's done with it. Don't think he realises how many people connect with his way of thinking. Very relatable.

[@watchingmedia101]

This whole comment is so damn true.

[@davidjb-750]

Great to hear an interview with Karl where he isn’t being patronised or someone laughing at his every word... and I’m not taking about Ricky & Steve where he gave as much as he got, well to Steve anyway (“it’s the eyes” 😊)

[@davidjb-750]

Mac Wasn’t referring to Ricky & Steve

[@VoidStar.]

I listened to the Ricky Gervais podcast when I was trying to fall asleep with severe anxiety. I listen to Karl, Steve, and Ricky in the background when I do schoolwork. I listen to the XFM compilations of them on KZbin in one ear to get through the last hour of work. I watched An Idiot Abroad multiple times, with multiple people--all of whom found Karl a good person. I've heard hundreds of hours of Karl just talking to other people. I'm glad for every minute. Thank you, Karl. You have brought much happiness & laughter into my life. You have given me a sense of belonging when I had trouble finding it in this world.

I'm like Karl when it comes to friends. I used to have a lot now I don't have any because I live in a different country and have a 6 month old baby. I often think about how drama free my life is now and how content I am just being a mom, cleaning my house and gardening. I totally get it, Karl. 😌

Karl has brought more joy to my life than I could even begin to describe. over the past decade if i've ever felt bored, lonely, sad, happy - whatever - i've popped on an episode of TRGS or an XFM oldie. He's a national treasure up there with Fry, Paxman etc. I FAR prefer him to Gervais and Merchant.

[@chrissmith3668]

Same. Karl must have big shoulders because he propped TRGS up all on his own

[@bencruzar7135]

Karl's been a light of hope for me, when feeling depressed, I just put on his xfm appearances and just fall asleep to his genius perspectives. Ricky and Steve are shallow or primative versions of humans compare to karl. despite their bank accounts.

We could only hope that Karl reads some of these endearing comments on a show like this to truly see how much laughter and sheer joy he brought. We love the way his mind works, the takes he has on certain situations and the everyman approach he takes to life. We didn't just tune in to hear Ricky and Steve, it was Karl that resonated with so many of us. He's a good man and I just hope he finds fulfillment in whatever new chapters he undertakes. Cheers from the US.

[@Gen7486]

I have listened to hundreds of hours of Karl Pilkington interacting with people and Craig is the only person I have ever heard that gets Karl. They complemented each other’s thought processes really well. Even when they argued, it was from a point of equal as opposed to people usually talking down to him. To the listener, we know Karl is always the smartest man in the room, but in this conversation there was no power dynamic at all and it was brilliant 👏🏼 I’m happy this conversation is a 1 of 1, but it would be brilliant to hear these two talk about everything and nothing again 🙏🏼

[@JackAcid]

Had me laughing almost immediately, when he starts about not being able to find your hotel room in Vegas. And his observation about Vegas is bang on, in my opinion.

The world is slowly going into lock-down, no one has anything to do, depression is kicking in. Bout time Karl, Ricky and Steve got back together for some uplifting podcasts. They don't have to be together and could record form their homes.

[@sperrin]

@@jasewildheart Their relationships changed all the years they did the XFM shows and podcasts. Ricky and Steve went from TV writers to award winners to working in Hollywood. Karl went from silent button pressing producer to saying a few words to TV star. Part of the charm of the original shows they did for years was seeing (hearing) them evolve over the years. All three of them changed.

The thing with Karl I love is i always look through old comments on here and I have never seen a single bad comment about him. That is rare on social media and is a testiment to the man.

[@josephkeen288]

You can tell the host has radio experience. That introduction just gave me enough time, was done in the right way that I was completely settled, relaxed, ready to listen and unwind. A lot of these podcasters can't relate to that. Hyperactive drama alert esque introductions, sound eq way off the podcast itself etc. This was a great listen and will definitely check out more of the podcasts.

[@robertJ14]

He's an inspiration to all of us. In the Xfm days he was uneducated, sheltered, and naive. Wrongly labelled an idiot and probably got judged because said some offensive things without fully understanding. Now he is one of wisest most genuine people around. You can go to Cambridge uni for years and know less useful things than Karl who had travelled around the world and met real people. I would never approach him thinking I know better than him or tjat Im a better person.

Love Karl, so interesting to listen to and inspiring...love what he was saying about Daniel, so relatable...I loved the episode where he met him, totally how I want to live my life free from societal pressures and just enjoy life and nature and relationships because who knows how long we've got...there's definitely more to life than working - that's for sure! And although life always drags you back into stress I think the more focussed on loving life and being free you are the much more quality your life will be. I love how open Karl is to different takes on things and never judges anyone, that's how everybody should be!

[@joshuaclark1930]

This may have been the easiest or most chilled mode that I've ever heard Pilkington. Kudos with that.

[@jordanstevenson2796]

I can't believe Karl mentions Christopher Hitchens. I was like 😲 but then he did say that he didn't really understand what he was talking about. I like how Craig just has a conversation with Karl instead of the verbal abuse he got from Ricky back in the day. Craig doesn't try to appear like he's intellectually superior to everyone around him like I feel Ricky does sometimes. He speaks to Karl on his level and in terms he understands.

[@promi9526]

If you're reading this now Karl , you have soooo many fans , people who listen to you every night they go to bed. At one point listening to your podcasts was the only conversation I felt like I was a part of , the only time I would laugh in the day. I'm not that sad now but I still listen/watch you just for enjoyment. I'm pretty sure you've influenced more people in this way then a lot of the 'smart' people out there. Maybe you should make a KZbin account go live and chat? Maybe you should start vlogging. Maybe you should write down everything you think you might want and write down all the reasons why and why not so you can figure it out properly so it doesn't bother you anymore.

[@morganfrench8993]

pr omi I found the Ricky gervais podcast on KZbin a couple of days ago and I have listened to it when I was quarantining and hearing Karl’s voice made my week. He is honestly incredible.

Someone should tell him to write more books. I actually own and have read almost all of Christopher hitchens books, and what I am a huge fan, if I had to choose between one of his and one of Mr pilkington's on a rainy day, I would choose Mr pilkington's every time. I think his genuine and unique outlook on the world is what makes him so brilliant, and I struggle to understand why he can't realize this about himself. He is a great value and accomplishment simply by his own virtue. I would really love for him to write some more books, maybe an autobiography, maybe even fiction. In the words of Christopher hitchens, the written word will remain. It would be a great way for karl to feel like he is really an accomplishment unto himself. He really is a brilliant writer, at least I think so.

I agree with the comments below. Your worth is not something based on academic prowess.. Karl, in being himself, has offered something so much more than inflated egos, People can relate to his authenticity. I personally see a lot of myself in Karl. Karl is an introvert, a sensitive and a creative, these types of people don't get on well in large social settings and having quiet time alone is far more valued.

[@heatherhartin5484]

Just in case this can be passed along to Karl, in response to “What’s so great about me? I’m not Justin Bieber.” What’s wonderful about Karl is his unique perspectives and uncommonly honest perspectives. That’s what I appreciate about him. I’ve never heard anyone willing to talk about the misery of Las Vegas the way he does and I appreciate that that matters to him. He put that so well; “It’s soulless”. The difference between him and a lot of famous people is that the fact that it’s a cold, soulless place matters to him. This reveals how much the soul matters to him and I’d rather spend time listening to someone like that, than typical people who only care about the money.

Ozy Mandias - while I do completely agree, Karl is still putting himself out there with ‘Sick of It’ and doing interviews like this. He could choose not to do anything in the public eye at all, then it would be worse if it still happened.

Thank you most of all for letting Karl SPEAK!!!! Ricky never let him speak and believe me, I was the biggest XFM series fan… every time he had a pivoting moment in life, Ricky would bunker down with laughing calling him all sorts and that always irritated me… I didn’t think it was funny or charming. It was down right a piss off. Ok, so we as massive Karl fans I think have always wanted to portent him and just LISTEN to him, because a lot of us can relate to him. Was I raised on an estate in England? No, but did I have a quirky aunt and mom? Sure I did and I wanted to hear Karl without hysterical laughter cutting his thoughts off. Bottom line… Karl came up with VR glasses and Ricky laughed at him and that will always be unforgivable to me and alot of fans. Thanks mate for being a really cool podcasted who LISTENED!!!! 💓

44:45 Karl "I had a bloke who read my arse. It's called rumpology. He said I was going to move to Italy." Craig "Whereabouts?" Karl "He's not that good." Might be the funniest non-Ricky podcast thing Karl has said.

great podcast. interviewer is a natural, thank you.

It's a real testament to Karl's modesty that he genuinely doesn't understand quite why people want to meet him and get a photo, etc. I'd love to meet Karl because the XFM shows, 20 years on, are still a big part of my life - I listen all the time, and An Idiot Abroad is one of my favourite travelogues of all time too. The man is responsible for hourssss of great entertainment that I rate very highly. Also, the eating was more off-putting than the vacuum cleaner tbf...

A Karl Pilkington Podcast would be dope.

Random comment I want Karl to be who he is and if he wants to be left alone from all the fans then that's completely fine but an update like this just to see how he's doing once every year is a great way to send the message across that he's healthy.

I love Craig's natural way..this is such a lovely conversation!! The clearout of friends!!! Like a clearing out your wardrobe! Love it!!

Karl, I know what you should do, people including me love to go to bed listening to your voice, I listen to you to fall asleep, but then Ricky laughs and he makes me jump and I’m awake again. Why don’t you record yourself reading children’s fairy tells. Everyone would download you for sure, your voice is the most calming thing ever.

Cannot believe I have just discovered these podcasts, plenty to get me through this isolation malarky 😁

31:55 just to hear him say the word coronavirus.
