All of you are hilarious- made this episode very enjoyable! David Baddiel and Ricky need to come to New Zealand! We love you here

[@garethh2711]

Always enjoy these chats, David Baddiel is always entertaining.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Good guest combination. Love both of 'em. Baddiel has got amazing stories and Ben brings a different point of view to the discussion I feel... Edit: *SECOND*

[@ben31uk]

I have a lot of respect for you Ricky and David for standing up for #countdankula and free speech. I don't always agree with you politics but Thats ok. I now have a new found respect for you. One new fan #freespeech #savefreespeech #1984.

[@edwardflynnef]

I get the impression ricky respects these guest's more & rightly so. Less interruptions, more fluid intellectual/topical/comedic conversation. Easily the most superior episode yet. Diane & david next please!

[@s_p_onarge8720]

Still waiting for Steve and the K man.

[@process_junkie]

It's so frustrating listening to these guys talking over each other. It's literally one of the first basic rules of radio - no cross-talk and no talking over the top of people. Wait 'til they're finished talking before you cut them off every time they open their mouths. It's interminable!

[@marcuscross8051]

Yes, but he's Ricky Gervais so he can do whatever he wants. He's talking the same way he would in the pub.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

Jason Chatters! Little chitty chatty choo how do they come up with such drivel? I imagine you've spent most of your day watching a puddle evaporate. The Chatt-Machine How ya doing ya little chattster

[@Trisador9]

Remember when Karl told a funny story about his upbringing?

[@tez4792]

No, keep talking...

[@Mr.RyanMD]

Legend!👌🏻

[@OfficialFingazMC]

IMPORTANT COMMENT! *Ricky breaks his silence on Steve & Karl* You know we all (well most gervais fans) think something's gone on with Steve and Karl. We'll ricky finally spoke out about it on an interview with the NME. www.nme.com/news/tv/ricky-gervais-responds-rumours-fallen-out-stephen-merchant-karl-pilkington-2263404 the comments made right near the end in the last couple of minutes....

[@beavsbox2787]

Fingaz Mc mountain out of a mole hill ? I clicked so guess it worked haha

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Ham Cob I know yeah, when I saw the title of the story I thought it would be discussed in some sort of length. But it's literally the quite they use lol. I still thought people should know about it, cause I'd want to be told if he mentioned this tbh. It's the first time he's ever said anything about Smerch and Karl in years, maybe he saw thar people were pissed off about him denying their existence...

[@janderson2709]

Thanks for sharing this. I don't buy it for a minute, but yeah, cheers!

[@SonOfExcess]

Cheers for sharing. I still think they fell out in someway though. You dont go from being obsessed with someone, like Ricky was with Karl, to never ever bringing him, or Steve, up in any interview or public conversation at all, without something big happening. I have always speculated that it was Karl's sudden departure from Ricky's comedy series 'Derek' that hurt their friendship the most. It is likely that Karl left because he hated acting and all the 'hassle' that came with it, as well as being around Ricky too often, which not doubt annoyed him. For Ricky, I think this departure annoyed him in various ways. First I imagine that he perceived this as Karl being lazy and feckless, as he often was during the Podcast era, which perpetually annoyed Gervais. Plus, Karl played a fairly big role in 'Derek', and was one of the shows big assets. Karl's departure no doubt damaged the shows overall quality, and made it generally less funny. I imagine this annoyed Ricky rather a lot, as Karl's laziness was hurting his work, and his big project of the time. Also, I imagine Ricky felt Karl was somewhat ungrateful, seen as he and Steve had 'made' Karl who he was. So Karl walking away from Gervais like this must have felt rather back stabby. As for Steve, well he and Karl never got on great anyway, so thats no real surprise. However, Ricky and Steve's 'split' as it were I think is rather simple. Merchant got tired of living in the shadow of Gervais and struck out on his own. Whenever they worked together on a project, Ricky would always be given all the glory, even if this was not his intention. I think some of the XFM shows and the Podcasts, show that Steve was always rather jealous of this, and as such decided to go work on his own stuff, losing touch with Ricky in the process. To add to this, I dont think Ricky ever really regarded Steve as a close friend as such. It was very rare to hear during the XFM shows or Podcasts that Ricky and Steve had been and had a night out or whatever. They were more work colleagues I would guess. Overall, while I dont think they quiet dislike each other, or have properly fallen out as such, I do believe that certain events took place that led each to go their separate ways. The idea that they just randomly dont talk that much anymore, as Ricky often suggests, seems unlikely too me. Will they ever all get back together? God I hope so. Is it likely? Probably not

[@janderson2709]

Civil - Anarchist agreed 100%

[@Pilky_Round_Head]

None of these guys have ever wanted to kick a duck up the arse..

[@jepulis6674]

"Its no coincidence my wife is Irish and my brother in law is Irish" :D :D :D I cant believe Ricky let it go, he must like him a lot.

[@316CactusJack]

Mentioning Karl just to annoy Ricky

[@Niaurus]

newsflash everybody! in the 70s comics used to SHARE JOKES!!!

[@anglosaxon389]

Baddiel you're supposed to be funny?....you've never made me laugh....grrrrr

[@doovybro9000]

Listen to someone you do like then rather than post on those you dont? I dont find Chubby Brown funny, so I simply dont watch his youtube videos.

[@Leewise1]

Comment on someone else's opinion then rather than criticise those you don't approve of? I don't agree with your solution, so I simply don't comment about it. On a serious note, who said the OP was here to find David Baddiel funny in the first place? Fak off duh hick ehhhd!

[@Weird-City]

David rotten stinking Baddiel!

[@hadvarr8578]

Holy shit they solve racism on this podcast by calling it dumb

[@Leewise1]

Is David Baddiel Jewish?

[@marcuscross8051]

No, he just pretends to be.

[@LughSummerson]

No, he's an atheist.

[@Leewise1]

So, is David Baddiel Jewish?

[@marcuscross8051]

Yes, he is Jewish

[@Necrophadez]

If you are mixed race and identify yourself as black you are denying the existence of one of your parents which is rather disrespectful and selfish on your part to simply be accepted. I understand the reasons why people do this I just think it’s rather sad. I am mixed and I identify as such. Not that it matters to anyone.

[@CyberJunk2049]

MIxed Race, Half Black, Quarter Jew, Listening to this annoyed the Fk outta me, most decent people couldn't give a shit.

[@Weird-City]

Why is David Baddiel inside my TV selling pension schemes! Did Michael Parkinson die? *He* used to give us a free pen. All we get Baddiel is an awkward cringle-like performance. Skinner was good though.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

Bring back Karl!!!!!!

BRING BACK KARL

[@61shirley]

There are differences between the races. The differences are partly because of the different challengers people faced evolving in different climates. Some races are more prone to certain diseases for example, and the difference in IQ between the Jews, the chines, the blacks and the whites are clear. We should embrace our differences to in my opinion.

[@Kigoz4Life]

yea! I love being white. Proud white. LUL
