Chin up matey 🙏

Hope you're feeling better, man 👍

The podcasts got me through some tough times too buddy

James Bedford .... how are you feeling now ? I do hope u r still OK . I can relate to what u wrote ....I started listening in Oct. 2018 whilst I was in a woman’s refuge for domestic abuse victims . 3 years on and I’m still listening every night before and when I drift off to sleep ......it’s my favourite time of the day TBH ☹️. I’m still depressed but I keep plodding on 🙃. Sending u a cuddle and a hug and wishing you a very happy future .

Same as....if i need a laugh i turn to these uploads karl can have me laughing out loud. I feel sad for ppl who never heatd these three..🦋💕

You were there from day one?

@@DJ_Spazzy I've listened to them since they were on air from day 1

@@KatieBlue16 and you've kept up with them since?

@@DJ_Spazzy yeah, I'm here aren't I 😁

@katieBlue16 same here they have kept me going for years with my mental health glad it helps you too

I’d use that for my ringtone.

USE YOUR BRAIN INSTEAD!

Well use ya brain instead! 😁👌🏻🤣

Use your brain instead 😂😂

More karl fans is always welcomed

Have you got a little hairy fella working for you?

This happens to me all the time too, but I adore that laugh! It’s so infectious 😂

You get used to it after a few years

Wish I. Ould hug you

So true , I'm a time served xfm fan too , just the best and funny every time

Same

Right there with ya. Puts me to sleep like a baby. Until Ricky’s screeching laugh wakes me up.

I started listening to them in 2013 when I was backpacking and in noisy hostels, now I listen every night before I go off to sleep. And they are still hilarious.

There appears to be thousands of us. Pretty much every night for me for years too.. Have everything on the phone, dip into YT for a mix some nights. Funniest thing I've ever heard.

But can you kick yer height?

Its crazy how old these podcasts are early 2000s i mean like in 2011 i thought these were current and it is crazy because its like these were the first podcasts to be called podcasts

Puts me asleep like a baby. 😴

Can't stand the Manc drawl. . Not even from this self pitying guy.

Somewhat hypnotic isn’t it

When’s that on?

Been there myself dude, keep the laughs coming dont let it eat up,talk to your people, amd things will improve.stay strong homie❤️

Ngl think 70% of the world population is suicidal and so am I, there’s no hope

“Worship” is a little strong…

@@FirstnameLastname-bn4gv Speak for yourself. Or get a sense of humour. I’d have hoped you had one if you like XFM…

@@PommeLavande *You* speak for yourself. You’re the one saying “we” worship him. Fucking weird, dude.

Indeed😮

Was that in New Bexico?

He calls him the most funny unintentional comedian ever

Thick people have no idea that is the case.

@@Helter195 karl is playing a part, they all are.

​@@blobcity3591you are right to a point, they play up to their "parts" more as the show goes on and gained popularity but that's why the early radio shows were the best.

I get you exactly, my story is the same as yours-nothing was able to bring me comfort. I used to watch the Ricky Gervais Show with my grandson years ago when he was about six, we watched all the shows together and laughed our heads off. Anyway, I started listening to these KZfaq vids a couple of months ago when I was in a really dark place and it’s helped me so much. I turn the lights out at bedtime and listen, having a great laugh. I always fall asleep before the end though, lol. What’s amazing is that I’ve had to use sleeping pills for several years, but since listening to these I’ve barely had to use them and sleep so much better. These three are a cure for sadness and insomnia. ♥️ Hope you’re feeling better too!

I still LMAO at “rummanging”

Hope you're doing well

Good luck. God bless.

I got a transplant in September and I'm flying it thanks 😊 👍👍👍play a record lol 😆

@@paulpiker5909 Karl said they’re doing head transplants now.

@@joewright9879 play a record 🤣

Just turn your screen off. Saves battery too.

@@Crashawsome wow that's great isn't it, well done for that bit of information 👏

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the content!

He takes all Rickys crap but not Stephens , mainly because Rick is his meal ticket and he is jelous of Steve.

@@robertsmith9076 he wasn’t jealous is Steve he just knew he was a easier target than Ricky

Indeed 🎉

Glad I could be of help, Kay!

isnt the other guy gay? maybe its from him.

@@aredub1847 no he has a girlfriend now

There's a precursor word you've omitted from genius. It's autistic genius you meant.

You're so lucky. You have years of entertainment ahead of you.

@@user-ew7nz3yw2i hes not autistic. hes just a dumb knob. bet he votes for boris.

@@aredub1847 Karl is most certainly "on the spectrum", his learning disabilities alone are an obvious clue.

@Luke Firstborn Our most valued customer.

@@ancilodon he threw it in the bin 🗑️

He thinks like a child. I remember being 8 years old and saying things like "dogs have human eyes" and "Could you plug up a volcano?" Most people have just forgotten how they thought as children so his ramblings sound more profound than they actually are. Whether that's stupid or not depends on whether you classify children as stupid. I'd say more misinformed, ignorant and very curious.

Ly.

Questioning the point of anti biotics, believing in the monkey news, and applying human like traits to animals is kinda stupid. I love Karl, but do you not listen to him?

Where is that?

@@louissanderson719 Bit starts at 48:39. Gotta hear the whole part to really appreciate it

Don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing but I can relate to a lot of what Karl comes out with lol

On the Titanic, people in the steerage section were not allowed to leave the area. The funny part was that today's cruise ships are so big that there could he BAD AREAS like an area of town.

You’re also listening to something that’s almost 2 decades old. Ricky remained relevant through his own success, which includes Karl. We wouldn’t know Karl if it wasn’t for Ricky, and we wouldn’t of gotten a lot of the content without Stephen telling Ricky to shut up and let Karl talk. Not being rude, just educating.

@@FarewellFix Very true being ESN Karl should think himself lucky he met Rick.

@@FarewellFix true but Karl is funnier than both Ricky and Steve IMO.

I agree with you somewhat, but all of Ricky's shows have been hugely successful - whether they're good or bad 😅

​@@FarewellFixI know as much as I dislike Stephen he's necessary to the equation

I hope you can heal soon

Night n that.

I threw it in the bin

Over the years, that one line has given me a giggle when I really needed it.

It's a good job spirituality means fuck all then

What does that even mean? I mean, do you even know what that means? If spiritual IQ means complaining and being miserable 24/7 then maybe.

It's about how Karl is able to appreciate the little things in life; the mundane things and is not just self-obsessed, like most people. He has genuine empathy. The whinging and moaning is part of the 'persona' he's developed for the public. Although not classically educated or an intellectual Karl knows exactly what he is doing. Not to burst anyone's bubble here but you do realize that the three of them are a comedy team and these podcasts are not spontaneous? They've recorded many of Karl's stories more than once and each time Ricky and Steve act surprised at what Karl comes out with even though they've (and we've) heard it before. This being one example. Still love the K Man though.

@@boogiedahomey You're totally wrong. A nobody trying to look informed. Grow up son, nobody wants to pay you attention. Deal with it.

@@boogiedahomey Yes Karl has even told the same story with different endings. One example is his dads mate John the screw at 1st he owned a D.I.Y shop hence the nickname. Then in a later discussion he was a cabbie. There are a few others i have noticed.
