Karl's dad - furniture issues

Karl & his dad's problems with mattresses, beds and furniture companies

[@danne0113]

Someone please make "the Pilkingtons", it would be the best show ever made. My guess is that Ricky and Steve has only managed to get a fraction of Karl's childhood stories. Not to mention all of his parents stories and thoughts. Thanks orth82 for this ;)

[@EmployeeTheMyth]

I would love to see the 'pilkingtons'

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

Wouldn't we all? xD

[@MrLarryhoover425]

I'd like to see a video without you commenting all over it!

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

xD Well not every video I've commented on. I just like XFM :)

[@MrLarryhoover425]

Just playing daisy, I'm addicted too XD

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

Oh I thought you were getting aggressive :/ I thought you were having a go.

[@reineex3]

i wonder if the old woman next door (whos mam was a witch) is dead now :(

[@moonstarr8053]

Love it.."get in the bath an put a mattress on ya".

[@haunter4708]

Didn't he just tell two versions of the same story? I mean, it seemed like it was from two different shows but both times it sounded like Ricky and Steve were hearing it for the first time.

[@borismuller86]

Almost like it was scripted...

[@Arkenway]

OK so if I recall correctly, Karl first told them the stories on the XFM radio show and then, during the podcast era, they asked Karl to tell old stories again and they played as if they had heard it for the first time. I prefer the spontaneity of the XFM shows personally

[@peteg22397]

Also worth bearing in mind that there were several years between the XFM shows and the podcasts, which is plenty of time to forget an anecdote

I really would like to meet karls family

[@KairuHakubi]

i don't like leather either but it's true there's both sticky leather and soft brushed leather that's more like a fabric

[@thatveganchick668]

Wait...in the animated series, it was Karl’s and Suzanne’s bed that Karl’s dad sawed a bit off of......

[@scottjohnevans97]

Compare a 5ft 8 man to 6ft 4. Karl, that's why 8 inches makes a big difference. It's not weird at all.

[@moloney118]

Steven is 6"7

[@25195712]

Check out his boot cut jeans haha so 90s

[@danne0113]

Yeah, it's pretty easy to get Karl started with a story, at least on XFM or the podcast because i guess he didn't think anyone would hear it. I am also very curious what his family is like, maybe they could shed some light on the mystery that is Karl. Maybe Ricky could prod him enough to make the Pilkingtons show happen. oh man, please Ricky, please.. Could i get the books read by Karl somewhere?

[@donaldthescotishtwin]

Hello Clive

[@DaveDangerous74]

The two parts about the mattresses prove that this show is totally scripted.

[@chili24137]

DaveDangerous74 Eh, I mean those two conversations happened nearly 10 years apart, and Ricky talks to Karl nearly every day and probably hears all sorts of ridiculous things so I don't blame him for not remembering, I'm sure it sounded vaguely familiar but that he didn't want to make it a thing and interrupt Steve and whatnot.

[@Callico_]

Well the conversations are years apart, and they probably don't want to kill a conversation that most of the viewers have not heard.

[@DaveDangerous74]

Calico Oh please just admit it. It's scripted.

[@Callico_]

DaveDangerous74 I'll admit Karl does know he's being funny with his deadpan stupidity, he's not oblivious, but I think the stories are real and so are Ricky and Steve's reactions to them.

[@DaveDangerous74]

Calico Everything Ricky and Steve make is Mockumentary in nature. There maybe a lot of truth in it all. They maybe recreating conversations that they had in private. But it's not real. In the same way that spinal tap is not real.

[@mckill85]

I normally hate reality tv...but I would love to see "The Pilkingtons" 😂😂

[@RatelHBadger]

The old woman who lives next door, who's mam was a witch...

[@DunkeysLongLostSon]

Sleep well.

[@orth82]

thanks so much, danne. And I totally agree. The material is definitely there.. Karl just needs a bit of prodding by Ricky to get the stories out of him. And his books are full of little anecdotes about his childhood & family. I am so curious what the Pilkington clan look and sound like! :)

[@dnskskxndbdjsjdj]

Agreed

[@ryannelson5051]

Thanks for the upload. Textbook.

[@magnucolt]

Did you know that Ricky has been addicted to cigarettes for most of his grown up life?

[@jimmyboy141414]

So?

[@Fox8ball.]

I love Karl t bits
