I'm sick of the saucer drinkers Educating Ricky - Ricky Gervais XFM Show

A guide to Karl's timelines: The other day: 2000AD - 1990AD In the 70s: 1989AD - 1970AD A few years ago: 1899AD - 1600AD Ages ago - 1599AD - 1200AD We are going back a bit here: 1199AD - 60,000BC

Any one else addicted to these , ive listen to them all so many times , they never get old :)

Never forget if you’re feeling low: 1) you’re not alone, and 2) be Kermitted to your treatment

"Ages ago..."

This got me through the grief when my Dad passed....when my mind wouldnt rest Id climb into bed and just play these...cant go to sleep without them now

Anyone else still watch this to sleep ?

"forget the beard, where you been for 3 days"

It really makes me laugh for some reason the way Ricky and Steve always go "17th century?" or "1970s?" hahaha

"Different stories for different... things"

This show is an anti ocd and an anti depressant to be perfectly honest :') I've listened to these countless times and it just makes everything ok

"Never mind your beard, where have you been for 3 days." LoL

cant sleep without listening to these guys

I know it's probably a Photoshop, but I want that phrenology sculpture of Karl so much.

Hello my fellow knobheads! Chi-can you believe it, we’re still listening after all these many a years. ♥️😃

Ricky: “There’s a reason….. It’s not his volt..😁 It’s not his volt..😂 It’s not His Volt..!”🤣😭

I never make it to the end of these, I drift off and wake up with a flat phone and 10 minutes to get ready for work.

1:59:34 *Ricky gives a 30 second monologue about how the show is nothing and they have no regard for their listeners and how he feels guilty about it* Karl: "So anyway there was this parrot"

Yes I do.In 2024 I'm still listening on pretty much repeat and they still make me laugh!!!!!😍😍😍

I love that his stories just stop and he goes "so uh... that's it."

Love Ricky, Steve and Karl , they have got me through some tough times. Thanks.

They were a bit demicky, so they weren't properly

4 hours of RSK. I'm actually going to listen to it all

Whenever I start listening to these I instantly need a cup of tea

In 50 years time there will be loads of old people trying to explain this podcast to the modern generation

I started listening to this as a teenager I used to be able to listen to radio from Britain all the way from America and I love them to this day. Karl's a legend

Here I’m November 2021. Karl is a legend

Cant believe I'm only just seeing this now, what a fucking treat.

So, I heard Ricky mention Karl's name in stand up, years ago. However, I had not heard any of Karl, Steve, and Ricky until 3 days ago. It's all I've been doing since.

Never mind your beard, where have you been for 3 days?!?!

"Its not his volt" has to be one of the best reactions to a hook catchphrase ever!

Today on my flight I thought “bout to go through a bit of cloudage”... K man is really starting to rub off

Man moth is the true legend

The dynamic between these three is SO entertaining! I laughed out loud many times.

"It's not his volt" GENIUS

truly crazy how everyone here talks about falling asleep to these. Been doing it for about three months now and never looked at comments till now. Glad to see not alone on that lol

Karl: Did that just go out? Ricky: ..what?? Karl: All that.. Ricky: *manic cackle.* xD! My god.. my sides hurt from laughing so much!

Never knew Ricky, Steve and Karl had such great taste in music. Kudos.

ricky on midgets and suzanne: "not eyeing her up and down; just eyeing her up". wow, that was lightning quick. love it!

I feel like I'm subconsciously becoming Karl because of the amount I must hear in my sleep

Whenever I feel down. I pop this on, or any of their podcasts. It really does take it away and makes me smile! I wonder if at the time, if they knew what they was creating?! If they knew it would become what it is now. Absolutely brilliant.

"When was this?" "Quite a bit back"

Different stories for different things

"He was ung an that"

I’m off to bed. I’ll fall asleep listening to this. Magic

1:12:02 Ricky almost swearing "Don’t you fucki-" and Karl trying not to laugh had me in stitches haha

I love how Karl at 15:35 gets on with his work, getting out his part while ignoring Ricky butting-in but the very moment Ricky poses the question of if he'd be a frog, ZAP! All his attention is focused on it.

Another title for the lead plates and tomatoes could have been: 'Gettin led on, bout what yer been fed on'. 'What's tomato with you' is class 😂

Right...I knew you'd do this, so I'll stick somethin' on it. D'yer know bee's are deaf?

“D’you know that bees are deaf..?”

I love when Karl laughs, I have no idea why but it makes me happy

This and questions for Karl has got me through my exam season

Rickys laugh is amazing! Could listen to these guys solid

If you're in Kenya don't put beans in your ear......words that have seen me through my some tricky situations.

"In what way, is telling me that Brian Blessed shat himself once in any way educational?"

"What have you learned?" . "Nothing." Haha the speed that Rick comes at it so funny.

‘Where did this happen?’ ‘Er, sort of, in Britain, and that.’

I love that nearly everyone of them is a saying and it's nearly always followed by "Years ago"

Leave Karl alone, it's not his volt

"chewing the fat" actually stems from times when food was scarce and people would just chew the fat for as long as possible to make it seem like they were still eating...and that.

"It wasn't properly" is the greatest thing I've ever heard. I'm going to start just describing shit as being not properly.

I lost count of how many times KP said 'ages ago'.

2:13:05 Karl trying to say "enough is anus" is a classic moment.

Ban gulls. Oh fuck i nearly pished myself laughing.😂😂😂

imagine the things these three would have to talk about in 2020 and all the things in-between since they last sat down together.

Someone make a 'Ricktuals' compilation. It would only go for 3 seconds. "It's good to have a flat head in India."

I really believed the crab story. Kinda disappointed it wasn't real...

I love how Karl just sort of organically took over this whole show over time because of Steve’s inquisitiveness into his way of thinking and (frankly) Ricky’s laziness

Listened to xfm everyday since xmas hahah

Hooked on theese,listened to them all do many Times

The tomato story is about pewter plates, which contained lead 😂

Educating Ricky has always been my favourite feature.... I'm lying in bed laughing away.

Bonfire The word is actually derived from Middle English bonefire, meaning literally "a fire of bones." The earliest appearance of the word is glossed ignis ossium-Latin for "fire of bones." And a citation from the 15th century confirms that this is not just a learned folk-etymology. Cold Shoulder Origin The origin of “cold shoulder” dates back to the 1800s when it was a literal reference to serving a cold piece of meat to a guest who was no longer welcome at a dinner party. Giving someone the cold shoulder about whatever meat they had cooked was a clear, unspoken signal that they were no longer welcome, and it was time for them to vamoose. The phrase has since evolved to take on the figurative meaning we use today. Poor Karl!

Educating ricky is great. Thanks for adding some rockbusters as well.

Just watched all of monkey news, all of Karl's diary, and all 3 episodes of questions for Karl ! absolutely hilarious, some of the funniest shit I've ever watched, total laugh out loud material. Ricky you are a comedy genius. Karl you are so funny and Stephen you are . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .very tall ;) only joking bud you all crack me up

"Different stories for different things." Gnight mates

educating Ricky is imo the best part of all of the podcasts

I wish I could hear the music on these. Most of them sound like good songs.

"Have you heard that saying, out of the frying pan and into the saucepan!" 3:04:18

LMAO I believed the Crab story! I was amazed by it!!!

im convinced karl is a comic genius

Feeling down. KZhead Karl. Start smiling

I am Vietnamese. Always keep an eye on your taste. Wonderful

What we going for? Anging' the bacon, hairy Chinese kid or Alien gives man a beard?

16:22 - "The frog thing, do I look like one or...?" xD

Why has this got nearly a thousand thumbs down?? It's MDMA in audio form.

"And a crab went, i know what it is, its a 5 of spades!" hahahaha

“Karl, if You’re bored”😂

Wash up with people putting thumbs down? Whats tommato with you.

Colon then, educate me!

That's a great Dilkington bust.

I love how Ricky will happily say "shit" on air then get worried when he almost says "fuck"

This hasnt gotten old yet 5 years just goin through all series and guide to's god im sad

Her man's her mitts

"Did that just go out?" I pissed myself laughing hahah, he's right, this isn't normal radio

2:13:00 Enough is anus Say that again.. enough is enuuh eh anus.. Well...

Karl's story on what's tomato with you is true, and Ricky and Steve slag him off. It's like the hanging bacon story, trivial but slightly interesting and plausible. So much shite comes out its hard to believe anything he says.

I feel like Karl is the inspiration for Kath in Afterlife.

17th century? will always crack me up, along side "mentalist".

“Everyone likes the smell of bacon..”

Night gang
