Nick Mccartan at one point he even reminded ed where he was in his story after imterupting with a point about himself and when ed tried to continue he done it again...... Hes not a great host, this is either a chat with his friends where he shows off to make them laugh or to laugh himself or its a show with guests and questions etc where people might tune in to hear brian Cox try and get a word in or to hear richard dawkins sigh in despair as ricky tries to prove hes on his level..... like he always does. If its the first then hes already done that and this doesn't compare, If its the second then seriously he has to learn how to host, and stop thinking its mainly about him. I like the man but this is pretty bad, Least he made it availble for free, youd be mad if you paid for it

the line between Ricky Gervais and David Brent is getting very blurred, i almost feel sorry for him.

Ben is good though! Still the best fire in the booth yet! 🔥🔥

I've always loved the fact that you can have a good laugh with your mates at the pub or at work and sometimes it can be just as funny as listening to a professional comedian. Work is probably the best place to practice comedy because of the fact that you get to know your 'audience' and bounce off them with banter and one liners. It also makes quite a boring situation bearable! I'm finding it interesting listening to the stories of how these guys crafted their humor from being funny guys with their mates to doung 3 minute TV spots for £8000. As I'm listening on youtube, I don't hear the songs but I pause it and play it to get the full experience. I commented earlier that you should play some Ry Cooder. If anyone of any influence is reading this, I recommend 'Married Man's a fool' from the Paradise and Lunch album. I'll pause the podcast and put my LP on in the shed if it gets in #08. 😎 There's a lot of negative comments from people who just want to hear what they want to hear. C'mon people. If you actually listen to it and appreciate it for what it is, you might get something out of it. If anyone wants a laugh, look up Robin Williams interviews when he was on talk shows. He had great chemistry with Craig Ferguson and David Letterman. He could quite easily take over an interview but good interviewers knew how to channel his immense energy. I prefer watching these interviews to his stand up because of the extra energy he gained from being in that situation. If you don't like my suggestion, just stick to tagging your mates in chicken nugget memes on facebook.

Was the "comedian getting angry about a trip to the post office" example a reference to Richard Herring?

Good to hear Ed mention Doug Stanhope ❤

Actually, many of the jokes that appeared on the later XFM shows had appeared in earlier XFM shows said by a different one of the trio. So sometimes Steve would deliver a joke of Ricky's and visa versa. I think this came from them pre-deciding what funny topics they could talk about and looking at what had been funny earlier. It's plausible that Rick said it first. I've seen Steve use a couple of Ricky's golden globe stories before, namely the one where he describes getting Cheetos in his teeth and also the clint Eastwood story among others. I've never seen people moan on those videos, so I'd give Rick a break if he repeats something that someone he used to spend all day every day with once said 12 years ago.....

There is none of the bigger subjects Ricky loves.

And I'm not talking about jokes but the funny chat. You've flogged the same dead horse for every show (in varying degrees).

I went to a stand-up night where one of the comedians cracked his head on a light on the way onto stage. Blood pissing down his face he had to bail. The first comedian was forced to come back on and he admitted he'd forgotten what be had or hadn't done so we had to warn him if he was repeating himself. As one, without a word the whole audience said nothing on the first repeated bit and we ALL shouted the punch line as he was about to say it. He realised he'd done a 4 min bit with EVERYONE pretending they hadn't heard it. Brilliant. Happened another 2 or 3 times each time we found it funnier and he eventually gave up stepped down off the stage into the audience and we ALL went through to the bar and got faced. Great night

Such a pity Sirius XM is supporting the likes of Steve Bannon (Seth Rogen refused to appear there) and such a pity the great Ricky Gervais would rather block people who speak out against it than give a reason why he is not leaving the show in protest. Could it be money? Entire career making fun of people and now he's playing the liberal and helping Bannon. When will we find out he doesn't like animals? "Oh I can't have a dog cause I'm always away" yeah right...

People moaning about it being too much Gervais... it's his podcast? Surely people should be disappointed if he doesn't do most of the talking?

Ricky needs to take some advice from other podcast interviewers. Look at Joe Rogan, he is brilliant at keeping quiet and letting the guest tell their stories and theories, he knows when to chime in to ask a question and contribute with his own stories. Ricky has to always make everything about himself on this, the guy has got a big ego and a lot of the time its just kinda obnoxious and not even funny.
