[@ManMoth]

Hey guys, sorry for pinning this comment on all videos but I want to give you an update on the channel. I've been slowly adding a show archive to the videos including a full transcript added as sub titles and a full track listing (with links to KZbin videos for each track). Pilkipedia archive link has been added as well and I've been having fun illustrating some of KP's best bits, I'm adding these to a shop incase anyone is interested: www.man-moth.com/ It's taking me a while to update the archives, especially as I don't work Mondays so please bear with me as I chip away at it. Lots of love, Man Moth.

[@rosiefitzsimmons8859]

I love the fact this was going out as a radio show 'I'd turn off today we've got nothing' hahaha

[@BaldMancTwat]

It will never cease to crack me up that some person who knows nothing of Ricky, Steve or Karl was listening to this thinking "This should not be on the radio"

[@studkickass513]

I often forget this little fact. With that mindset it changes everything... A unique radio show.

[@bentnob]

What a special gift it was to those who got to hear these live

[@DF59821]

"but Karl, there's never anything"😂

[@daniele551]

The way Steve deadpans " Karl, there's never anything" makes me laugh every time.

[@josephine9975]

Love how Karl talks like he's got nothing to lose when he's fed up with Ricky and Steve.

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

To be fair he was fine with his life before he met them, had he literally broken ties with them he'd have carried on with his regular job and regular life, so in essence he didn't have much to lose in his view!

[@josephine9975]

Joey Lock I guess that's why Ricky said at some point he couldn't believe they found this man that remains untouched by fame. Another reason for me as a fan, why I never get sick of hearing talk.

[@JayGC]

He seems like he genuinely does put happiness first and that’s commendable. Obviously he’s done a lot better not waking away, but if he did it would be to do what makes him happy and that is commendable

[@dale2442]

I’ll tell ya what I’ve canned this in

[@williamsmith666]

@@GooglyEyedJoe You're right, he DIDN'T have much to lose; from the sounds of it he loved a very simple and plain life, working in his little booth, editing audio, going home and going to sleep. But he also seemed so miserable, like he felt he deserved more appreciation for his efforts, to make more money, all before Ricky and Steve came along. Now he's back with simplicity only worth so much more money than he was back then.

[@alexdoodlebug07]

This is one of the more tense episodes

[@EhunterL]

I find this episode too tense.

[@jaserogers5136]

+alexdoodlebug07 I love the tense ones.

[@33hegemon]

+alexdoodlebug07 It#s funny, but it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. They go too far sometimes with Karl.

[@spreadthelove77]

Joey Lock Agreed. He was being a complete helmet.

[@louisasmiles]

The last few ive listened to are awful. Ricky sounds like a cokehead.

[@josephlynch4532]

This episode has some of the most fever-pitch moments of tension. So many really icy and angry interactions. It's also got some of the best song transitions - where a mood-appropriate song fades in over Karl moaning, or going into a rage. A real pearler.

[@williamsmith666]

We can't say for sure what happened during the songs, but I feel Ricky may have felt justified in giving Karl shit for the whole censored skit fiasco. He wasn't any worse than usual here; compare this to "Hamburgler", where he was a total pill from start to end. It really seemed like Karl was in a major mood that day, the first one to be antagonistic and sticking with this funk the whole rest of the show. But it may have been the last straw for Ricky after weeks on end of Karl's blissful ignorance driving him crazy.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

@@williamsmith666 they had a webcam back in the day so some people remember what they did during the songs

[@MarcusaurGaming]

It stresses me out 😢 Back to the wholesome series 1 shows and upbeat Sturgess stand-ins for me!

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

22:05 - "I 'ate him...I 'ate 'im....I HATE...." Karl goes a bit mental there. 35:10 - "I'll tell you what annoys me about those things like that.." "Me." "Well in the paper...well you do! And everyone knows that." I love how venomous that sounded! xD

[@DesertDweller21]

And the way he says no at 36:23 😂

[@capnhawkins]

You can just hear Karl's hatred blaring through the mic in that silence at 47:18 after Ricky relentlessly orders him to try and say 'theft' properly. When someone doesn't even respond to you, they are at the pinnacle of being annoyed.

[@capnhawkins]

@@DesertDweller21 He sounds nervous, like Ricky might legitimately be coming XD

[@ElZilchoYo]

He was pissed this episode, but they are so mean and unfair to him, they really go too far, karl has a lot of patience, most people would have told them to go fuck themselves by then.

[@SkandiaAUS]

@@ElZilchoYo isn't it great. Even when Karl isn't trying to be funny his timing is impeccable. That "well you do, and everyone knows that" is so perfect. Then Ricky manically laughing when he gets a rise. Poor old Karl

[@SLoMo4]

"Karl what's happened to you this week, mate?" "Nowts 'appened" Imagine a slick, modern radio station owner hearing one of his DJ's say that on a live broadcast

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Like Ricky said many times, “This isn’t radio, is it. This is 3 people in a room, talking.”

[@Stevinho1234]

The greatest thing about this episode is just picturing cab and van drivers across London listening to this live in 2003 for the first time with no prior knowledge of these 3 legends, what must they have thought 🤣

[@samdavid96]

[@Spacetrains]

This is one episode where I'm surprised Karl didn't actually smack Ricky upside his head, really shows what good sport he is (I for one couldn't have taken that kind of shit without losing it)

[@tuttosalve8352]

j mula sort of but more Karl’s very patient in all honesty and is fairly pacifistic, he can seem confrontational sometimes but he doesn’t seem to have any sort of mean/violent bone in his body I would have expected him to at least end up shouting at him but he’s very professional and also that’s not reeally is style as it were

[@tuttosalve8352]

18:35 ish he just explained it himself ‘winding people up and that I find it quite annoying when people do that so I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone else’ He’s an empathetic soul our Karl

[@TheManorBeast]

I’ve listened to this a few times and you can tell Ricky felt let down by Karl sticking up for the uptight management like he ever listens Karl was like a baby with it. He gradually learned that in order to get further you have to stand out
