[@Christophee1987]

As much as I love the numerous Karl features in later episodes, I really enjoy listening to these shows where they pretty much just chat for the whole thing.

[@HopeVJustice]

Definitely!

[@jenanahulu]

Me too, a bit more relaxed

[@kraken589]

They also somewhat respect Karl and Karl seems to be genuinely happy. At least as much as he can be. I do love the dynamic later but it’s kinda nice having it just be three guys talking.

[@Scallion_D]

Yeah it's a nice change but the real LOL moments are in series 2. But it's nice series 1 is different to the rest.

[@robbie5181]

Yeah as someone that has heard every pod they have done at least 20 times, after that much listening, season 1 XFM is my current fave. The bee story, the genuine surprise reactions to Karl.

[@brownayy]

[@somemong989]

3 hours of the same thing over and over again. I know I'm not gonna get anything out of the night. ...he has a point, in a way.

[@stfnkblm6738]

never heard this part before. nice touch indeed.

[@ElZilchoYo]

It is actually true according to Rod Stewart

[@jenanahulu]

I think it's because they meant for their commentary on it to go out on the radio.

[@jenanahulu]

to add to that, it would be lovely to hear their commentary on all the songs they play lol

[@jcrawley1]

On Killing of Georgie's Wikipedia page, it says "Georgie, cast out by his parents, he was watching the telly or something and he saw that New York had loads of them over there all having a good time"

[@sneezydeezymcdeluxe7015]

He kind of couldn't leave that part out. With the amount of commentary over the top of it, cutting the song completely means we'd have been missing genuine pieces of conversation, and let's face it, that's the only reason we listen to these. For the three legends to chat shite to each other.

[@rsk3469]

For those of you wondering if The Killing Of Georgie was a real story after Rick and Steve’s libellous comments on the song, I hate to say it is a true story. Here is how Rod Stewart explained the songs backstory in a magazine named ‘Mojo’ “That was a true story about a gay friend of The Faces. He was especially close to me and Mac. But he was knifed or shot, I can't remember which. That was a song I wrote totally on me own over the chord of open E.” Mac in Rod’s story, is referring to Ian McLagan, another singer-songwriter in the same Rock ‘n’ Roll genre as Rod. Hope this comment was helpful to those of you as curios as me over the songs origin.

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

29:20 - That little noise Ricky makes is hilarious, it's like he wants to burst out laughing but he's intrigued to find out what on earth Karl is on about xD

42:59 ''Query and question it. That is what has made Ricky Gervais one of the premier thinkers of this country. He will not accept anything on face value. He queries everything. ''Anastacia. She looks glamorous and twen..wait a minute. Those glasses. What do they suggest? --> Actually she's forty. --> I'm not gonna buy her records.'' One of Steve's most genius moments.
