    i like how Karl's laugh is just a cheesy grin followed by a quiet scoffing sound. and then he goes back to looking like he has war induced PTSD.

      @Maiahi Not sure what the quotes were for, but he's not playing a "role" though. Karl is 100% genuine. At best, he likely, probably exaggerates for entertainment purposes.

      He's no longer a public figure and has thus gone back to being an indolent Manc twat who futters about his house and occasionally goes out to get groceries. Occasionally some media type will pin him down for a bit and he'll say something stupid and look confused and then he'll go back to what he was doing. He's bored with the public eye, I believe.

    I hope everyone who has watched this know about the XFM shows, the guide to and the podcasts. If not, just type in RSK compilation. I've been listening every single night for the last 6 years, I've heard all their content over and over and I'll never get bored of it. Something about it is soothing, i forget everything i got going on and just listen to those 3 rambling on
