Don’t know how people don’t like Steve

[@RationalAxis]

They do though

[@NxDoyle]

I know. It's the dumb people who side with Karl because his occasional unusual view and inadvertent aphorisms make them feel less dumb.

[@whyeumadbro]

RationalAxis fucking who tho?

[@Owen-wc1wr]

Yeah, it's just so arbitrary

[@vxmarcusxv]

Yeah it's when people act like you have to pick a side with either Ricky Steve or Karl... even though they are all mates (and still are, there's been no argument or falling out, just went down different creative paths). Personally I think all 3 perfectly compliment eachother and are geniuses in their own rights

[@pepesmoov]

I love when Karl says Wayne King, gets me every time.

The Holy Trinity

[@BalotelliFan713]

"It's in your eyes" is fucking gold. It's amazing knowing how Karl came about and seeing how quick he was sometimes. I know Ricky "used" him for years but ultimately it was an education in harnessing "talent" that no one else saw (even Karl) and getting the entertainment biz some brilliant naivety that people would love. Cheers to us and thank you Ricky and Karl!

[@jburck8659]

karl sure laughs a lot in the first few episodes

Just reading up on the 'Lost Episodes', before the November 10th 2001 show, and there appears to be an episode where Karl forgets to turn the microphones on, which is funny enough, but Ricky actually references this episode at 0:08 ! Makes me want to listen to those Sep/Oct shows.

[@randyj420]

Just found out about Wayne King - and now I rarely leave the house.

[@studkickass513]

Heh....heh...haha.... hahahaha!!!! Bravo!

[@langin04]

Just about to start what must be my 20th run through of these. I first found out about these on Ricky's website blog (before he Tweeted), and they've provided me with laughter, therapy and comfort ever since. They're almost like a time capsule now, which brings up memories of forgotten celebrities or events, or even things like the birth of Ebay. Long live RSK!

+Man Moth I always forget it's this episode that's the Robin/Swan/cock episode. I always assume it's something to do with Robin Ince, until now. Personally I'd call it 'I'd never give a Swan a knob!'

[@DeadManVlog]

Although the Lezza Ostriches suggestion is genius.

Yeah me too I always think it's the one where Karl got tricked into having a drink with him.

3:14 Listen for a laugh from Karl that some might not have detected.

[@kt220lp]

Does anyone know what came before these first few XFM episodes? It seems like they (meaning Ricky and Steve with Karl) already have an established rapport and they make several references to previous recordings. Like for example Ricky's famous film review definitely already existed before the "first" series. Asking because obviously it would be awesome to hear them starting this process together before they become totally comfortable messing with Karl.

[@nub53]

Katherine Parra the first few months of this season weren't salvaged by XFM

[@TheBanMan]

I for one would kill to hear Karl's take on 9/11

[@Shifter22]

I soooo wish I could hear their first actually work together!

[@lesleyb13]

There's tapes on KZbin somewhere of really old (well older than this) of Ricky and Steve when they were first on xfm before they had Karl. They make reference to have been 'given Karl' when they came back. My thinking on timeline is them old r&s stuff was before they started to get a bit famous then they came back to xfm and met Karl. There was one old tape I heard where Ricky's on air talking to his mam, think he tricks her into swearing or something before revealing shes live on radio. If there still on here they're worth a listen. Quality is not as good as these but might help your curiosity.

.i don't get why they were so worried about swearing but then straight after a song they were swearing as normal? Either way it's hilarious as always. Thank you so much for the uploads!!!!

[@ManMoth]

I know what you mean, it must just be for comic effect. They say a lot swear words I would have thought would have been too harsh for radio though, like the story about Steve's dad calling his mum a twat!

Doesn't it seem like there's a missing episode zero? This is listed as episode two, but Karl mentions a conflict with Steve over the past three weeks. And in the episode listed as number one, right off the bat Karl gets in a dig on Steve and Ricky says something like "Oh he's done you again!". So when did that first dig happen?
