I actually bumped into Karl a few months ago, in a pub in North London of all places. Didn’t wanna bother him as looked like he was there with a mate, but I did tell him I was a fan of his work with Ricky and Steve Didn’t say a bad word about them, just said thanks and that he enjoyed his time at xfm - nice to hear as a fan that he wasn’t miserable the whole time! Left him alone and went to order a pint, looked behind the bar.. Little monkey fella
I remember hearing that outro at 18:00 for the first time, when I did my first entire run through, and was so disappointed that they had stopped. Oh well, back to S1E1 of XFM again.
I met warwick twice. Once in 2019 and 2023. In 2019 I asked him about Karl and he basically hinted that there was something in the works but in his words "we can't get him out of the house" In 2023 I asked him again about karl and they both were still in contact and texting at the event. I asked him would he ever work with Karl again and he said there was nothing in the works current but never say never
For "breakup" read: " The socially organic and mutually satisfactory cessation of creating commercial, comedic content together." It was these guys all coming together in the same room that was the anomaly. All that's happened is that this cow has now been thoroughly milked and they've since cracked on with their individual lives.
I do get this feeling that Gervais saw them as work colleagues more than mates. Also, life's too short seemed to be the cataclysm of their relationship
I've been waiting for part 2! Glad the wait wasn't too long. I don't think broadcasting more chats between them would work now. Karl is older, wiser and a millionaire so he can't came into it as the know nothing northern lad anymore. If we're all still here in 10 years time it would be nice to have old aged versions of them all doing a chat together, getting all nostalgic for days gone by but that's as much as I'd like to hear from the gang. I really do hope they have a bit of contact from time to time but Ricky does seem to be a complete pain in the backside to know.
Ricky clearly is tired of the question. Can you imagine how often he’s asked about getting RSK back together? It’s a testament to how timeless and epic there time was.
Great video, thank you. Really well researched and put together. I think KP pulling out of Derek would have hurt their relationship - he did that because he wasn’t comfortable being an actor, but then did Sick of it. But I guess we’ll never know. I hope they do get back together - I still listen to the XFM show and podcasts every week, have done for 20 years
I am not sure they were ever true mates... Ricky has said as much about Steve (even when they were co-writing and doing the podcasts)... Karl served as Ricky's pet project and Ricky and Steve helped Karl pay off his mortgage and become financially secure... Karl was too clued up to be exploited... it was transactional on all sides...That is the nuts and bolts of it... If they were true mates they would be in touch and go for a beer etc... All that being said they were brilliant when in conversation... It is what it is
He's not dumb, he tells stories about people he knew but through the mouth of people he had known. His series Sick of It was really good. So much to be said, so much evidence to show they were on the same length but they did treat him differently to catch them off guard to get the reaction. Serial killers won't tell you their gunna kill ya, they lure you to their level then lunge, Stephen would be the same Rick would pack in. But Karl has been around interesting people or at least more interesting people.
I dunno though. Ricky literally doesn't mention Steve's name whatsoever now. Ever. Something happened there. Some harshly exchanged words leading to a fall out that has not been resolved.
Hope you guys enjoyed the video. Subscribe for videos like this every week! 😃

Yes, I had a chuckle reading this..

Just be sure not to touch any tankards lying around.

Enjoyed this mate. Maaaaaaars bar bar bar
Songs of phrase is a genius concept.
It was pushing people off the bikes

- Right. When was this?
- Ages ago.
- Ah yeah. 1700s?
- …yep.
- Guessing. Just making it up now. He’s got no idea.
I’d be interested in seeing a video on the break up of Ricky and Stephen.

I reckon the breakup between Steve and Ricky is more serious than either of them with Karl. But who knows

Steve sounding American, soon he’ll be banging on about uhhh the 9 - 11
The nain alehvern...
Also, one day I was walking around my house when I randomly heard Karls Smarty ad on the radio and I INSTANTLY recognised the pilkmans voice
did you release fecal matter at that moment
They caught linghtning in a bottle and it won't be done again
Merchant is about to be ever more rich and famous. He's apparently playing Rick Grimes brother on The Walking Dead. 😂

Damn daniel (no pub intended). Dope vids, I can see you blowing up very soon

Out of the 3 guys that were turned into flintstone-ish cartoons, Steve definitely looks the most accurate to the cartoon version...
He’s in David Mitchell’s new show Ludwig
I've always wanted to see Karl do QI
They seemed to balance each other out, Ricky without Steve to reign him in can be intolerable though Afterlife was really good.
you can fnd the radioshow on spotify, i listen to it every year. karl is a genius
It's all on UA-cam dude.
Colon then, educate me
Waaar do you think of that, then?
What's tomato with you?
@@-______-______- chi-caan you believe it?
Karl: Hello
Ricky: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Orite
Obvious that Karl & Steve (rightly) hate Ricky and that Gervais looks down on the pair of them.
They haven't " broke up " ! They are still mates ....!
Something to do with teabags
You must know thats not true.
Great video, play a record Karl
Ricky getting carried mainly by Stephen
Just saying it doesn't make it true.
Ricky gervais is overrated
Lol or you just don't like him
Overrated at what? Stand up? Acting? Directing?
Your nan’s overrated
