RICKY GERVAIS IS DEADLY SIRIUS

Episode 53 - Ricky chats with Daniel Sloss and Stephen Knight
The 53rd episode of Ricky's radio show on Sirius XM.
Ricky Gervais is Deadly Sirius: Ricky with comedian chums and eminent guests discussing the big issues. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and often taboo-crunching chat about ethics, science and art; interspersed with utter bollocks and the greatest songs of all time.

My 2 favourite Comedians in the same room

[@amitadias8055]

Daniel Sloss & Ricky Gervais are LITERALLY my two most favourite comedians!

[@outdooradventures8773]

That was awesome , thank you

[@Mr-zx8fu]

Literally the same conversations every week.

[@Peter-ci1zw]

Was just about to say the same thing

[@post1305]

see you next week then

[@Mr-zx8fu]

P O S T undoubtedly. I’m an optimist.

[@JoePoynton]

I totally get it that a lot of people on here don’t like these shows. You’re never going to please everyone. But I’m interested as to why people who hate the format/Gervais/his guests, come back to listen to every episode and continually moan about how much they hate it. Why don’t you just stop listening to it? I’m honestly curious. I personally love these shows and I’m guessing other people do considering this one has currently got over 10200 views. But the majority of comments are just complaining about how it’s not the same as the good old days. If that’s how you feel, why not just listen to the old stuff? Life’s too short to be seeking out content that is definitely going to disappoint/annoy you. Anyway, I’m off to eat some deep fried laundry. :o)

[@marcuscross8051]

Exactly! These days there's really no shortage of things online to entertain people. There's absolutely no reason for someone to listen to this if they don't want to. And there's loads and loads of old stuff of Karl and Steve.

[@arthropoda_iconicus]

This new character Ricky's doing is so good! It's just like Brent - the complete lack of self-awareness, the sycophancy, the narcissism - but for the new era. It must be such a huge writing challenge to come up with new ones of these each week. I guess the great bit where he repeats the same old stuff about twitter and outrage culture (with no irony! perfect) writes itself, but all the hilariously banal stuff he writes for his guests must be quite time-consuming. Perfectly acted tho - the guy playing Stephen Knight is so good. He really sells it as if he thinks these thoughts are original! And he makes him so hateable to boot. Brilliant. Can't wait for the next episode. 9/10.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

He's unbearable isn't he. Its like old episodes of the Simpsons versus the new ones. Gervais just isn't the funny person he once was. I still listen to the xfm shows theyre that good. Now he just moans about twitter. Twitter isn't a reflection of society! Get over it you boring bastard!

Daniel Sloss is actually quite funny and wise. He got me with his rat story

[@veemacks7255]

At last ... some new guests that Ricky can ask the same questions everyone gets asked, briefly to find out what they think but primarily so that he can tell them (and us again) his ideas about comedy. Even though his path to success is unique (doing it at nearly 40) and bypassing the normal small gigs and not having the bad experiences. I can't wait to hear those stories again.

1. Discuss bitchy stand-up comics (Frankie Boyle often mocks Ricky) 2. Take Boyle's joke about John Smeaton kicking a flaming terrorist and expand on it as if this joke has never been done before. 3. Job done.

[@Elephantstonica]

Ricky should get Kevin Hart and Danny Baker on, then he can finally put his continual outrage on this issue to bed. They’ve no doubt got the time to spare.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

He would just talk over them.

Well said Joe P. If you aren’t getting anything from these pods listen to something else!

[@miklassic]

My 5 cents on the milkshake thing, cause it's interesitng: It's humiliation. Facism 's allure is strength, authority and power. Mockery is the strongest tool against it. Personally I'd prefer to mock them with something different than a milkshake but it's hard to deny the effectiveness. Debate isn't always an option. You can have the best arguments but it's all for nothing if the other side is not willing to listen. Cheers!

Daniel Sloss was excellent. Actually funnier than Ricky (who repeats himself every fucking show these days). Sorry Rick, but it’s true...also true that I listen to a lot of your stuff, but you don’t have to keep giving us the canned lines that you’ve clearly slaved over...or am I running into lines of fire here and asking why are you shooting at me?!

[@garrybaldy327]

I still think when Gervais wrote the words "nigger" and "paki" into The Office, he was just doing it to be subversive with a cheeky grin, rather than purposely trying to make some social comment about Brent's narcissism.
