If anyone is interested, Karl used to live on an estate called the "Racecourse Estate" in South Manchester just outside of a town called "Sale" and then moved to Salford , pretty funny too because my best mate lives on the Racecourse Estate and its an odd place , still rough but I can imagine it was worse in the 70's
Racecorse is a Dive , there was some newbuilds sorta opposite the racecourse and at least once a week over night there was trouble, the thieves nobs would go over and strip out the copper pipes - they even pulled a boiler off the wall and left the water and gas leaking over night
And if you knew fk all about Manchester you’d know Sale isn’t Manchester and people in Salford will- for some bizarre reason- say they’re not in Manchester “you’re in Salford”... trust me.. these people are a psychologists wet dream all over
Salford is its own City. Its part of Greater Manchester but they are proud that they are their own City. Which is fair enough because good things have come from there. The Racecourse is nowhere near as rum as other estates though. But they think it is. Bulls Head till 2am is the highlight of Racecourse life. They won't go to town and mouth off like they do in Sale. They didn't even come to Stretford when the pubs were still open. And ya right about Sale. As soon as you cross the Mersey it starts getting weird.
@Paul Mcgregor Look at historical annual sunshine hours for Manchester. It is one of the gloomiest, least sunny places in Europe, receiving around 1400 hours of sunshine annually (where I now live receives 2700). It has relatively low annual rainfall but it discharges that rain in the slowest way possible...DRIZZLE. Yes it doesn't rain everyday, and yes it gets the occasional hot day in summer when every scally in the city goes topless and heads to town, but the typical weather is grey and drizzly. I grew up in Manchester.
Still common on the south side mate! I live in Drimnagh and there's a load of them around. But yeah I remember the 'mun when the towers were still there but barely anyone left and all that waste ground was FULL of them. Finglas too. Yup the Dubs! 👍 🇮🇪
A lad I went to school with told us he could get any Spectrum game he wanted and even new ones that hadn’t been invented, coz his cousin learnt how to speak the noise you got of the tapes loading and could talk to the computer. Sounds like the sort of bollocks story Karl would be convinced was true 🤣
Apart from being very funny, I love these chats because I grew up in the 80s and remember all their references to Atari, Commodore 64, Grifter, Spectrum RAM pack etc. Happy days...
@@mccarthy5825 I used to buy C&VG (Computer and video games magazine) and spend hours typing in code to make a game, only to get nothing but "#syntax error 374" with no clue as to how to resolve the issue. Oh well, all character building stuff, preparing me for life ahead!

Some memories eh mate? The worst loading ever I think was When my mate brought around a Robocop game. I was a part of the generation whose parents let em see crazy 80s stuff. I remember my stepdad(rip) renting Robocop, Predator, Lethal Weapon, Terminator etc and watching em with me. But then again they made cartoons and toys of these properties so... But anyway we must have spent 3-4 hrs to try load this bloody game and no go. I sort of get why console gaming got so popular ya know? But I will say, it did prep me for drivers and all the crap that came with dial up modem,pci graphics cards, playing Quake online etc. I'm actually after downloading a ton of ebooks on coding and want to get a raspberry pi 4 or something, make a nice emulation machine or maybe try code something.
Would love to be able to go back in time to see this estate! The mad women next door, the old man down the road, the women next door who's mum was a witch, uncle Alfred who lives in a dingy, Mrs Knowles who went mental, Scruffy Sandra, Shorts Man! 🤣🤣🤣
This is all very familiar to me having grown up in a similar South Manchester council estate. We had Mad Margaret, Nitty Nora, Jack the Vac (because he fixed vacuum cleaners and washing machines), Aspro John (talked so much you needed an Aspirin afterwards), German Lou, Joey Wrestler, a guy that owned a tank, Purple Aki and many more crazy characters. I know live in rural New Zealand which is very different but has some unique people.
I love how Karl tries to explain things to Steve more than Ricky cos I imagine that Merchant had more of an upper/middle class upbringing than the other two and he can't relate as much to a working class council estate upbringing even though there's nearly 10 years between Karl and Ricky
The Victoria Plum story was told twice? Wonder over how many years apart. I love these but listening to Ricky sound so shocked a 2nd time sort of kills it a bit
It’s just mates retelling funny stories to each other. They probably tell so many for the podcasts that details become vague and they most likely forget many of the stories; especially when you consider the XFM show and the podcasts were recorded ten years apart
Loved Steve's quote about Karl growing up wondering where does Manchester end! It's also quite insightful, for a lot of kids from poor backgrounds the place they grow up in is all they really know and the rest of the world might as well not exist as they can't afford to go anywhere anyway.
A horse is walking through the house next door, same happened to us our neighbours did it , Bristol born in bred so Steve it happened in Mivart st in Easton, ya ha ha

Have you never told a story to a friend, and then a few years later you tell the story again and you vaguely recall telling them but they've since forgotten?
giantred Think of their material like routines or bits that stand-up comedians often repeat on stage. It seems a little disingenuous at first, as they try to pass it off as new content with shocked remarks or whatever. After a while it just feels like each time they repeat something, they add or remove some information to improve the quality of the material.
Of course it is..! If you paid to see Ricky in concert and then again the week after, he'd tell his jokes as if for the first time..! No one has endless anecdotes..! It doesn't detract from the humour you come here for, does it..?
The nicknames thing is weird, because here Karl doesnt know why that man was called Jimmy the Hat, but the next time he says it's because he never wore a hat.
All non-Brits watching FYI --- Manchester is a vast, dense conurbation full of small houses -- like the Bronx -- no horses within several miles -- just realised it's not funny otherwise.
I love these 3 but this video proves they do fake some stuff, Karl says "John the screw was a cabbie" in this but in later podcasts he says "John the screw owned a hardware store" presumably because it's funnier
PastaMacouronne They re-used/recorded all of the original stories for the later podcasts and TV show so there's two versions with some mistakes and changes. The originals are so much better.
And he gets confused about Jimmy the hat, the second time round he says jtd cos he never wore a hat which Ricky finds hard to believe even though he originally suggested that idea
They seem to forget stories he's told before. He tells the same story in slightly different words and Ricky and Steve don't seem to remember that they've heard it. For example, when he bought his mum the Victoria Plum gift. Ricky reacts pretty much the same way he did the first time, like can't remember it. Maybe it had been a while.

I don't dislike Steve and he did some good things for the show like trying to subdue Ricky's outbursts to allow Karl to continue a hilarious monkey-based story but I often think he was a bit of a brown-nose to Ricky e.g. he would mock Karl to try and impress Ricky. The videos 'meet Karl pilkington' and 'learn English with Ricky Gervais' only feature Karl and Ricky and they are brilliant!
I went to a similar church club, one of my friends went and asked if I wanted to come. I kept asking my parents, but they wouldn't let me go. Eventually, they gave in. I was quite young 5-7 ish, anyway the first couple of times it was playing games and sports. Next time I went, we were taken into the church, which was somehow hiding in the same building and spent the entire time being preached to about God. I didn't go back after that, it wasn't even about Christianity, I was really confused if anything, and didn't want to spend another hour and a half being bored. I remember they were really pushy, kept ringing my parents and even sent a few letters trying to get me to go back.
If you were in a church being preached to about God, it almost certainly was 'about Christianity '. I completely agree that children shouldn't have this stuff shoved down their throats though.
At 59:35 Ricky showes how jerky he is! Ricky was in the wrong! He gets annoyed, because Karl got upset over getting the bin over his head. So Karl doesn't like getting garbage on him. And him saying that, hurts Ricky's feelings? Is Ricky mentally challenged? What a jerk!
I know it’s all for fun but in a way I feel sorry for Ricky and the Steven...bless their bias ignorance... Writing as I go... for all I know, Ricky haven’t learn shit... only the pre showed BS from his education system...

I was quite young 5-7 ish, anyway the first couple of times it was playing games and sports. Next time I went, we were taken into the church, which was somehow hiding in the same building and spent the entire time being preached to about God.
I didn't go back after that, it wasn't even about Christianity, I was really confused if anything, and didn't want to spend another hour and a half being bored.
I remember they were really pushy, kept ringing my parents and even sent a few letters trying to get me to go back.
Do you think it was a cult?
If you were in a church being preached to about God, it almost certainly was 'about Christianity '.
I completely agree that children shouldn't have this stuff shoved down their throats though.
At 59:35 Ricky showes how jerky he is! Ricky was in the wrong! He gets annoyed, because Karl got upset over getting the bin over his head. So Karl doesn't like getting garbage on him. And him saying that, hurts Ricky's feelings? Is Ricky mentally challenged? What a jerk!
what radio station is aired on?
Probably XFM.
arigatuxful yeah xfm and these are from years ago
arigatuxful How can you ask that question?
thanks peeps, I was just being lazy, I don't live in England see.

26:55 is so good hahaha
Karl is an alternate genius🤔
I know it’s all for fun but in a way I feel sorry for Ricky and the Steven...bless their bias ignorance...
Writing as I go... for all I know, Ricky haven’t learn shit... only the pre showed BS from his education system...
“I eht it”

Fail!

11:25 Karl says his parents had a (,something) shop .. butty shop? ..
Anyone know what he says and what that is?
It means Sandwich shop...
Sandwich shop/...
Thanks champ .. what is the word he says?
@@slimshady2777 Butty shop
Ahhh he said bookys, a bookys is a gambling shop and butty is a sandwich
We grow crop.
Does anyone know why Karl often refers to his brother as 'our kid'?
(I think that's what he's saying but I might be wrong)
Emsies Our kid is a turn of phrase used in Manchester when referring or talking to their siblings.
You're not English I'm guessing.
@@johnforkan1492 I'm English and I'd never heard the phrase 'our kid'. There's loads of regional slang that you wouldn't reasonably expect someone from another area to understand.
@@AA-hg5fk I’m not from Manchester and I’ve know about this saying since I was a child, you must live under a rock
@@UserName-br5zu I'm from Dublin and I picked up the whole 'our kid' thing from the 90s when Oasis were huge. And as a 10 year old when Live Forever came out I was HOOKED!
stuff like Royle Family, Early Doors, Frank Sidebottom, Corrie, Mrs Merton, the Coogan stuff like Paul/Pauline Calf was what I absolutely LOVE from 90s to now.
56:28 In Karl's case, it would be "Billy Idiot".
Pilokton 😂

ROSCO MCD 95 Amazing
Alright
Why do all of these videos get a considerable amount of dislikes?
Montelimarr people who don’t understand humour. 🤷🏼♀️
best thing he did was getting out of manc and moving to London
Bollocks
London’s rubbish, apparently. You can’t get soil anywhere there, but if you want a panini and a latte you can’t move for them.
Don’t be so silly
I'd listen to these so much more if Ricky was replaced by basically anybody else, basically all he does is cackle and contest ANYTHING Karl says.
Manchester? Rainy? Have you been to London??
WTF? London is much warmer and drier than Manchester...
Hilarious
I wish he had mentioned the name of his magpie
Leah it was called Maggie 😆🤣
Maggie
Victoria Plum.....sad.
Fat hairy Chinese UFO s what nx out of Karl's crazy mind and thoughts love it
