On my final lap of the manmoth xfm series, for the 14th time, can't wait to start the 15th time, my wife thinks I'm simple for re listening to this podcast so many times, 🤣🤣🤣 I'll still be listening to these when I'm 70

[@dennyshawyer1993]

The hamish and Andy podcast is good also.

😂😂 09:17 it’s so obvious Steve is just annoyed he didn’t think to ask for money that’s the only real reason for the rant, I love it. Eyes bulging with imagined riches

There has to be a dating app exclusively for ricky Gervais show fans.

Dude, yes!!! If I EVER heard a girl in a bar talking about this show, I would immediately buy her TWO drinks!!

[@waltermontiel4405]

@@studkickass513 I'm surprised you're even asking, though, Steve...

[@zackfromtheburgh]

Have you ever splashed out on a lady before?

[@sundaygirl5]

Or you can use the show to determine whether you have a solid relationship lol. I introduced my long term bf to these and KP. If you share the same sense of humour with someone it’s destiny. Sometimes we listen together, fall asleep to them, or I do work or even pamper myself in the bathroom to them. I used to listen to them in public but had to stop because I looked crazy laughing to myself.

[@AA-hg5fk]

What would it be called? 'Sick of it' dating? 'she's done alright' dating?

[@WillWivellAnimator]

Karl seems to tap into a whole new well of energy when he's properly pissed off. He speaks clearer and he sometimes hits Ricky and Steve with some pretty devastating comebacks. It's like Dr Pilkington and Mr Hyde

[@AA-hg5fk]

He hates injustice, getting ripped off and noise pollution. I also hate all those things!

[@shecklesmack9563]

He's clearly on one this whole podcast lol

[@seanevans335]

That's the interesting dynamic between the xfm shows and the podcasts. In the former he was more naive, probably starstruck at a big celebrity taking such a weird interest in him, then he started to get weary of everything. By the podcast he's a mix of just confused and pissed off at the world.

[@EddJones25]

"Stick it up your arse!"

[@Falcon24588]

Dr Pilkington and Mr Dilkington

[@DDoig1]

I love that Steve's reaction to finding out that Pilkington is getting paid is entirely predictable to an XFM fan.

[@omikronweapon]

even the fact that Mr K Dilkington wás getting paid, while Ricky and Steve weren't, was already utterly predictable :P

[@dshishod]

and you know it’s a genuine reaction like “what, i never knew we could get paid”

[@bluebones1778]

It’s so clear watching this now in this day & age, that Carl has autism. Everything from his rigid routines, to his seeming “apathy” to strict adherence to social norms - only giving a gift or a favour if you get one back, because that’s what humans do, because to just get or to just give is uneven. Being overwhelmed by noises and frustrated by things others aren’t bothered by, so much of his statements and views make a lot more sense when you look at it from the perspective that he’s autistic
