It is honestly so nice to hear Karl talk about stuff and have someone listen instead of berating him and taking the piss non stop :p Don't get me wrong, I love the old XFM shows, but it is so nice just to hear Karl talk about stuff.

[@rahuldahooobooda1798]

[@Crinkle65]

To be fair, he’s grown up a bit and learned a lot since the XFM days. However, He’s been a lovable and unique dude throughout.

[@12starcode]

"Why is the alphabet in that order" has to be one of the most amazing questions I've never even considered, a perfect example of how Karl says things so simple yet incredible.

[@matthew_thefallen]

dude, i agree!

[@fraserwebster8761]

Check out Steven Wright 😂👍.

[@ludoattuoni3681]

I haven't watched the whole episode yet but fyi it's ordered that way because in ancient Greek they used the alphabet as their number system, the symbol for 1 is a, b is 2.. my memory is a tad hazy but I think its smth like the first 9 letters are the first 9 numbers then the next 9 are like 10,20,30 etc. N the next few are bigger numbers

[@ziongite]

There isn't actually a reason it's in that order, every alphabet has to be in some order, it can't be in no order. And our alphabet originates from some ancient writing that came from the Sinai peninsula, which then spread to Greece later, which then became latin after that.

@@fraserwebster8761 is it because of that song?

[@pointlesscartoons6460]

The interviewer is fantastic, he just sits and listens to Karl and gets the best out of him, without relentlessly mocking him or taking the piss. Karl is an intelligent guy, he just sees the world in a slightly different way to most.

[@AA-hg5fk]

He's not intelligent, he's an empty headed chimp-like idiot but he's also hilarious and has a heart of gold.

[@katieboo4211]

This is so great!!! I like how the interviewer doesn't constantly jibe at Karl and they seem to get on well. It's so awesome hearing Karl again. I wish they'd do a few more.

This is a great interview! Always loved Craig Parkinson, and of course the K Man, class to hear more about his childhood that wasn’t covered in the Xfm shows!

[@geeksmayvary]

This is one of my favourite podcasts/interviews ever. They are both listening to each other and it's just fun to listen to. When Karl talks about making school kids do DIY work around the school during detention, it reminded me of my uncle's story from when he was at secondary school. My uncle grew up in a slightly older generation than Karl did, but was still in the Manchester area. Anyways, he'd accidentally smashed one of the canteen windows with a football during break time. Because of this, the head teacher kept him behind after school and made him repaint the lines for the spaces in the school's car park as punishment. He was to paint the word "headmaster" in his space too. My uncle, being the class clown he was, he thought it would be funny to paint "headmasher" instead. Somebody else had to come in to scrape it off and my uncle got more detention. RIP Uncle

[@Elaine-no9ti]

There should be a film about Karl Pilkington. There's something very special and appealing about how he has become a millionaire and is still so unassuming and a bit lost. Love him.

[@TheEpicFaliGamer]

This is great , love listening to Karl.

[@MST785]

Fantastic podcast. Karl's normally a little guarded in interviews and it's great to hear him open up with a fellow Northern Miserablist! It sounds like he had undiagnosed ADHD in his childhood which coupled with an utter failure of an educational system made him the man he is now. The 'pen' story and the comments from his head-teacher really made me angry. I came from a similar working class background, hated and failed in school, was a DJ, played drums and traded Speccy games too. I discovered third level education in my mid-20's, went on to do an undergrad degree, three MSc degrees and lecture part-time, yet I don't think my 'raw' mental ability holds a candle to Karl's. It's all about the 'graft'.

We need to start a world wide search for the tapes of Karl’s early shows, who’s with me?

[@repopackman7560]

We should start a search party🧐

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

We should. There's a few weeks of xfm season 1 that are missing. Ep1 is actually ep4 or something like that. Listen to ricky in the "first" episode saying something about the first 3 weeks going alright but now it's starting to go tits up (not exact words I'm just paraphrasing but its along those lines)

[@RadicalEdward2]

It’s nice to actually hear what Karl has to say without Ricky and Steve riffing on him. What Karl doesn’t get is his views on things are on-par with a modern day philosopher. He has a lot of valid points about life but, everyone just sees it as a comedy or want him to be funny.

lol I wonder if Larry David and Karl would get on - Larry hates the happy birthday song too

[@duffman18]

I feel like they'd either end up great friends or just not get along at all with no middle ground. Like even if they agreed on everything, sometimes two personalities like that don't mesh well, like how two introverts might agree on everything but that doesn't mean they wanna spend all day hanging out together

[@santino4561]

duffman18 hmm good point. However there’s loads of scenes in curb where I think Karl would say something very similar to Larry. Like they both despise a lot of social conventions that people just go along with like the happy birthday song and so on. But yeah maybe they’d just clash and hate each other haha
