When I heard this for the first time, I died laughing and the rest of Steve's accentuated act for the rest of the show finally clicked with me. "You're having a laugh, love." xD
Listening to these no matter where I am makes me feel like I'm at home and I'm from Texas never even been to England I love these guys and their friendship
I wish more Americans could appreciate the wonderfulness of this trio! I'm from Florida and can't get enough! Also...don't hesitate...go to England...it's an amazing place!
For anyone who's interested, the toy that Ricky thought was called a Bollock, is actually called Bohrok. It's from the Bionicle line of toys from Lego. I used to have one.
K Man : "Steve did you know that turtles can breath out their bum" Stephen Mitchell: "Turtles can breath out their bum? I know someone who can talk out of it but..."
I love it when Steve has a go at Ricky 😂 His eating habits were hilarious. I also loved when Steve was talking about how annoying Ricky is and how he sings and throws stuff around and makes noises 😄
So solid poo....I remember when I first heard that, I was walking to work listening to it and burst out laughing. I was always looking for that specific bit after then, but now it's been uploaded with that part in the title...amazing....thankyou 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Gwapo, Plonkez, and Mechanical Beetles NEVER QUITE WARM! So uh, ORANGE GOBLIN AND GRAND MAGUS PLAY THE GARAGE." It cracks me up so much how Ricky just gets louder and louder during this part.
I love that you can listen to these time and time again and still pick up on new absurd bits years later. Ive only just clocked that Karl, talking about turtles, says ‘when they go swimming’ like they don’t basically spend all their time swimming 😂
I caught one the other day, I can’t remember which episode but at some point halfway through the boys are absolutely scolding poor Karl and roasting him about one of his silly doings/sayings, and as they go on the track “Mad World” starts fading in as their torment of him starts fading out… it made me laugh so much when I caught it, it was so appropriate and I wondered if Karl did it in purpose 😂
25:20 When Karl casually compares himself winning an award for not taking days off school, to Halle Berry being the first black woman to win the Best Actress Oscar:))). "You know ive been in that same sort of position...."
What makes it worse is that he tells the same made up stories multiple times throughout the series'... The show wouldn't be the same without him though!
33:11 "And in heaven, they had exactly the same thing, but they were feeding each other." "..............wha-...........right..." "You don't like Chinese food?"
33:11 that totally dumbfounded silence from Karl speaks volumes. You say something simple to him with a slightly deeper meaning under the surface and he literally short-circuits and freezes up. He is SO gormless.
I googled the mechanical beetles bandname and turns out... It's taken from a line in a poem called The Man With the Blue Guitar by Wallace Stevens. Different trivia, for different... things.
20:35 Steve said people have travelled to this Britney Spears concert from all over even from Bristol which is where he is from and he said earlier in the series that he was a big Britney Spears fan
Thanks so much for sharing/uploading these. I always love how well Ricky takes it whenever Steve has a go at him about his poor diet. Even in the moments when Steve goes a bit too far and starts calling him “scum”, Ricky’s still just laughing along. So refreshing.
Trivia for manmothites: John Updike was the novelist behind the quote Steve was on about...."fame is a mask that eats into the face" (although I think the actual quote is "celebrity", not "fame" - steve improved it). I've listened to these shows about 30 times, but never bothered to look it up before :) Apologies to Updike. (Apologies also for never finishing Rabbit.)
I'm interested to know how the music fades were done. Did Karl just intuit when would be good comic timing to fade in a song over them still talking (e.g., the two nuns part)? Seems unlikely they'd have let him do that. Did they give him a signal to fade it in?
Interesting fact for those who want the real answer to the question they asked about reading out the radio frequency at around 4:00. Back when radio was the main form of regional communication, all radio stations were required to read out the frequencies they were broadcasting on at regular intervals. This requirement still exists today even though radio is mostly used for music and entertainment purposes. Most radio stations just make it part of their 'jingles' between songs or whatever so it follows the theme of the station better.
Why oh why do we love this... caught myself watching old series to. Well years ago😂 when xfm was on the radio. U could still say and do things that are just funny. Do it now u get a lawsuite or its a hatecrime ect. Thank everything this stuff is still online
I hadn't thought of that! I always assumed he meant bow locks (whilst hinting at the gonads), more like a crossbow type toy for kids, maybe with a shitty suction pad at the end of the bow :p like something for your action man.
44:52 I saw a huge turtle sticking its arse up out of the water today. But that was because she had a male turtle on top of her trying to mate with her and they had tipped vertical.
@@dejakhalz honestly ricky got so obsessed with people criticising him it's apparent and detracts from everything he does. Not saying people who were getting offended weren't being idiots but it made him just as bad as them imo
Steve’s train anecdote is always something to look forward to “Not even worth my time love” 😂😂
Matt Roberts lol, agree
When I heard this for the first time, I died laughing and the rest of Steve's accentuated act for the rest of the show finally clicked with me. "You're having a laugh, love." xD
Ricky's breakdown of the reality of that situation makes it even better though
"you're avin a laugh" 😂
Love the train anecdote 😂
Listening to these no matter where I am makes me feel like I'm at home and I'm from Texas never even been to England
I love these guys and their friendship
Yeah i'm from Nashville and i listen to these almost every night
Ricks from the same town as me. Most good friendships here are like this! Playing off each other and laughing at each other!
Amazing to hear that there are folks over there listen to these lads.

Steve's one-liners are so good.
What a guy.
True enough
You don't like Chinese food?
“He never forgets, Rick” is his best moment.
For anyone who's interested, the toy that Ricky thought was called a Bollock, is actually called Bohrok. It's from the Bionicle line of toys from Lego. I used to have one.
Thank you for clearing that up
So he was talking bohroks again
From his pronunciation, he thought it was a Bow Lock.
I used to have 2🤷🏻♂️
That's how a little Chinese fella says bollock
"Please welcome to the stage... Mechanical Beetles Never Quite Warm!"

I guess that just gives you another reason to make the journey again! ;)
6:00 "You're such a working class scum, aren't you?" Lol I love that rant by Steve
"Its sausages, its beans"
Steve's anecdote about 12 mins in is one of my all time favourites.
"Gwapo, Plonkez, and Mechanical Beetles NEVER QUITE WARM! So uh, ORANGE GOBLIN AND GRAND MAGUS PLAY THE GARAGE."
It cracks me up so much how Ricky just gets louder and louder during this part.
Steve’s train story has always been a favourite of mine
48:56 I love how Karl apologises at the end "s-sorry everyone.."
:(
Ssssssssssorrybouthat mate.

25:20 When Karl casually compares himself winning an award for not taking days off school, to Halle Berry being the first black woman to win the Best Actress Oscar:))). "You know ive been in that same sort of position...."
Yep i exploded at that part!!🤣
I agree, Halle Berry winning that award is not worthy
I know right? The two don't compare at all. Karl's achievement is far more impressive
Why do people have such hatred for Steve? Do they not realize almost his entire act is based on self-deprecation and him parodying himself?
Exactly. .. steve
His character is too constructed for me, and many of his stories are obviously fake
What makes it worse is that he tells the same made up stories multiple times throughout the series'... The show wouldn't be the same without him though!
Fake? Like the girl in train story?
Steve's by far the wittiest of the lot. I suppose it's an acquired taste, intelligence!
33:11 "And in heaven, they had exactly the same thing, but they were feeding each other."
"..............wha-...........right..."
"You don't like Chinese food?"
genius
this is why i came to listen today!
'That was wob-eye Gabrielle there...'
sometimes i take my headphones out to talk to someone, and i can just hear the screech of ricky's laugh from the other side of the room , haha!
and other people can hear it
Steve is my favourite very funny aha
R-That's an annoying sound that, in'it?
S-The annoying sounds of Bob Dylan.
Steve's one-liners. 😍

I LOVE Stephen

I googled the mechanical beetles bandname and turns out...
It's taken from a line in a poem called The Man With the Blue Guitar by Wallace Stevens.
Different trivia, for different... things.
I love when Karl gets anxious over Ricky and Steve swearing lol.
6:00 "You're such a working class scum, aren't you?" Lmao I love that rant by Steve.
I was just watching Ed Edd and Eddy when I realized they are Ricky Steve and Karl.
holy shit yes. who's who?
Nic Burton Ed is Karl, Edd is Steve and Eddy is Ricky.
I always saw the Ed's as Del Boy, Rodney and Trigger from only fools and horses
Haha yes they totally are.
Buttered toast!
Is this what starts him off saying "I've been using me fables"?
***** one of my favourite moments
use ya brain instead
USE YOUR BRAIN INSTEAD
Karl's favorite slot machine "The Simpsons." Brilliant!
Eric Hardee I remember that fruity from back then as I had friends that would rob them. x
One of 86's favourites.
is that a tie in with the tv show?
Yeah me too. been listening to these since 2006 and just love them. love white man van.

11:57 the best Steven merchant anecdote ever
Everything is always just "alright" with Karl. It's never good or bad, Amazing or terrible... just alright it's alright innit?
A bit like God, after he created everything ever, it was just 'good'.
My favourite is when he visited the Great Wall of China. "It's alright. It's the Alright Wall of China."
Except for when he's sick of it! :p
The epitome of being northern.
Normal day, everythings going normal

When I hear that article I feel like i'm about to sit GCSE paper and need to give my opinion on it haha
Love the gig guide 40:35
I honestly tried that tortoise joke at the zoo the other day. Not even a laugh out of courtesy.
Where are the Edinburgh tapes?? They spoke of doing a week of shows there after this was recorded. Would love to hear those too
hear hear
I think that’s when Karl was with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Those are out there.
steves laugh at 32.41 .. oh man

Can someone please tell me the name of the song that starts playing at 15:42? Thank you

Funnily enough I used to actually own a few Bionicle "Bohroks" (not "Bohlock" as Ricky thinks).
I hadn't thought of that! I always assumed he meant bow locks (whilst hinting at the gonads), more like a crossbow type toy for kids, maybe with a shitty suction pad at the end of the bow :p like something for your action man.
I knew what he was talking about instantly. "The shield, it goes into it's shield"
It reminds me of Karl and his ‘Boswellox’ issue.
"The guy with all the berries."
41:15 Gwapo, Plonkez and Mechanical Beatles never quite warm! 😂
Steve @ 11:53, Ladies Man reference foreshadows his future series.
