Brian Cox impersonation is spot on!!!

LET DAWKINS SPEAK!!!! (Ricky for once you are not the most intelligent person in the room). Get Karl in here talking to Dawkins, who's mind would be more blown?

I love ricky but wouldnt this be a more interesting conversation with just richard and robin? Ricky is clearler out of his depth and puts in elementary little bits whenever he can and tries to remind the audience that its show but robin is far less known and talks far less (because hes actually listening) but actually offers something to the conversation

1:38:10 "How would I know which one I was?"

Brian Cox talking for 2 hours is not science, science needs practical repeatable tests otherwise it is pseudoscience. If people want to talk about gravity and theories, without a practical example of it, its not science, its just a story.

Here's something scientific, 1. There is no such thing as a pulling force, all "pull" needs a pushing pressure in order to "pull". Pull is just a description of the action. 2. Standing water cannot curve around a ball, lakes and oceans cannot curve around a ball, unless you invent an imaginary force they named "gravity".

I really appreciate Robin Ince

Genuine question: Ricky always goes on about in a few 100 thousand years we won't be Homosapians anymore, I'm sure he's right and I do actually agree. But haven't crocodiles, sharks and jellyfish been the same for millions of years now? IF that is true (and I don't know that it is, hence me asking) then how do we know we haven't pretty much hit our peak? Or is the slightest little thing going to be looked back on in thousands of years as different hominid? Because I've got some mates that really couldn't be classed as even human tbh and I know some lasses that are so close to perfect that it makes me think we may have cross bred with a form of angel at some point ( okay pain meds may be kicking in now, *But my original question still stands* ).

Crocodiles aren't the same as say a million years ago, but they have been around (or crocodile-like creatures have been around) for 200-250 million years or so, as man has been around for 250 000 years. Now what constitutes as change can be microscopical and it can be random or specific. Animals do not breed like we breed dogs for example and breeding dogs is not random. Every animal is perfect for their environment or they do not survive, human-animals have changed their environment so that they can survive in it. That is not exactly evolution, as humans have something called social evolution as well, but as humans are a product of evolution, we either change or go extinct. Dawkins has said many times, that the small window of our individual time alive sadly makes it hard for us to comprehend the full scale and spectrum of the world and evolution. We should not let our social evolution and vast (well we think it's vast) knowledge let us get ahead thinking we are somehow more evolved as crocodiles or worms, just because we can speak and sit on the toilet writing long answers to a question no one can answer. I promise you, everything will be different when given time; we have not studied evolution even for 300 years and see what magnificent things we have dug up and how we have learnt to see evolution all around us. Only if we keep an open mind and remember that science is not to be treated like religion, there is no sides to it, no teams to pick. That angel thing is shit. Love from Finland Ps. We might have hit our peak, we just can't tell. But if we have, so what and if we haven't then...so what. Evolution does not "work for the better" in a way that we like to see it (Like Karl Pilkington once said "everything wants to speak and is heading for that goal"...). Humans are however a flagship in the Earths history as we know it, in that we actively change our surroundings and are as bad or worse than a city-sized meteor and that is evolution or has evolution in it, but by no means is it the peak of evolution. We must understand that humans may destroy this planet, but something may survive or then nothing survives, humans may go extinct and then the planet keeps pushing on. I find it hard to believe that humans still exist a 100 000 years from now and if they do, they must have done something different from us and come to their senses or just a handful has survived by changing once again by evolution to live and breed in the horrific conditions we are now inflicting and generating. I will go as far as to say, man should not have left the fucking cave...

Is this the Robin Ince show?

Can you put the names of the guest in the title. You'll get more views and exposure of these great podcasts.

YES, Its so frustrating.

Ricky Gervais:: so Robin I want to talk to you about the early years.. gives it about 30 seconds and just became about himself... Just interupts over and over and over.. I hope he listens back to these and has a realisation fame has made him even more self obsessed, shut up and listen to other people.. you might learn something other than the same 20 -30 obvious sound bites you regurgitate

R speaks to R and R

I'm only on episode 3. Does he just repeat the same conversation over and over?

Lol wait till you hit the comedian convo ones. Almost the exact same thing in everyone. I say this negatively but I've still listened to all 51 episodes.

When Dawkins is talking about cloning at 1:37:45 he’s pretty much saying “how would I know which one I was?”

Ricky' I liked science at five' gervais...bollocks.

Joe Blows Joe blows dicks, why ? My daughter who is now 15 has been in love with science since about the same age (5) she has a great interest science, nature, how things work, why they work, so why is it bollocks that Ricky ‘much cleverer than you’ gervais would like science from the age of 5 ?

Ugh the feigning, self affirming intellectual understanding and buddying up to Richard by Ricky is sickening, everyone knows he understands, it's like he's hanging around with the big kids so they'll accept him

Karl can take this discussions on next impossible level.

SHALLOW MINDS...these atheists think they are perfect in every way but they can never offer anything that can fill the spiritual and moral void in Europe without Christianity. We are being conquered by Islam and our western way of life is dangerous, disgusting, filthy, cheap, immoral and shallow....Christianity offers people an opportunity to keep a relationship with your forefathers and love life by a higher code of honour and respectability.

Quite a few whiny snowflakes commenting here.

“If I was a clone, how would I know which one I was” - Karl Pilkington ... Dawkins literally just said the exact same thing that Karl got ridiculed for ... proof the man is actually a genuis 🙌🏼

RICKY!!! SHUT UP!... you got Dawkins sitting there, how about letting him talk!?....

Dawkins starts at 52:16

1:02:40 "I've been watching chimps for 6 years in the zoo". "A 5 year old would say that. That's like a 5 year old". Well done, Ricky. Well done.

Ricky Gervais is the Karl Pilkington in the room. I’d have preferred to have just listened to Richard Dawkins and Robin Ince have a discussion.

this generation thinks it invented atheism

the hijacking of the word soul by the religious

+1 for "The Love Witch"

To be honest you can make more than just assumption of an Atheist. Like you have some more devout catholics or muslims you have a similar scale with atheists. Like rick said hes not running into churches, but some non believers can be so imposing with their view point it makes me assume they are a bit of an ass.

"Stuart Foot.. Money don't make my world go round. I'm reaching out to a higher ground. In a warm and peaceful place. I i i. I can rest my weary face. Cos we're livin livin in a crazy maze. Why do you want this job? Shoot."

Best answer ever! I do which is not at all. (murder and rape as much as he wants to)

Somebody tell me who wins this "look at me, look at me, look at how wise and worldly I am"! contest because I can't be bothered any more

I'm an atheist but I find endlessly bashing religion to be not big or clever it's extreamly tedious. He's got a scientist on his show yet Ricky still just wants to talk over people about religion. When Richard Dawkins is telling you to change the subject you know you've got a problem.

otflipz1 yeah I’m atheist too but the way he talks about religion makes me really uncomfortable. Religion brings a lot more than an explanation of existence to people’s lives.

Sigh comedy and entertainment once again tailed off into Atheism preaching... ironically I'm Atheist I fucking hate people preaching their religion, I Also hate Atheists preaching their lack of religion. You have an opinion, other peoples opinions differ, accept it and move on why do you feel a dying need to force your opinion onto others? Yes, ironically, much like this comment you're been hypocritical... stick to the funnies man.

Ok so who knows what is the most efficient way to extract a worm from the head? Like what kind of smell one cannot resist?

Some really salty people who are acting like keyboard warriors to people talking about Karl and Steve I think its very sweet that people still care, not only about the content they created but also their friendship and would just like to see it once more and its never bad to ask or mention it, got a few hear that need to get off their high horse just cos people have mentioned it on a video with Dawkins on it

Does Robin Ince still sit on Spam?

dbowie@live.ie. ..,

It’s quite funny. In this constellation, Ricky is Karl.

At 50:03. Can I answer this question. Why do people watch things they hate? Personally, I will subject myself to utter shit like Housewives of Beverley Hills, Made in Chelsea and Love Island just for a quick 5-10 minute burst every now and again! Why? To remind myself that 'anything' else I do in my life is better than sitting in front of the TV! I would rather use my time on Earth to learn and be creative than to become a sponge! These shows just reassure me that Im doing the right thing! :)

I like listening to these podcasts , I just wish Ricky would stop saying 'of course' all the time

A snail holding hands, ah c'mon now that's ridiculous

Please talk about something else other than religion ffs. We've heard it all before

"I was a little bit famous" "do you know what I mean?". I still prefer "I could eat a knob at night."

Sounds like Ricky and Robin have just sniffed several lines of coke before they started this... they're trying to cover every subject in the known universe at about a million miles an hour, each interrupting the other at every available opportunity.

My personal fear of death is related more to not knowing what happens to the world not what happens to me. I think the human addiction to new discovery, and the fear of knowledge and understanding disappearing is far more of concern. Where will we be in 400 years? 4000? What will we have discovered and achieved by then? These are the questions I will wish I could answer. So hurry the fuck up science and figure out time travel!! 😂

Where's rockbusters?

Should have had Karl Pilkington on with Richard Dawkins... Missed opportunity!

This is great for anyone who doesn't like Richard Dawkins, you can hear him get interrupted and talked over again and again.

FANTASTIC

Missed a trick not getting Karl in so that Dawkins can try and explain evolution to him...

Glad Ricky and Robin are still mates

You lot are starting to sound a bit preachy. I've had easier mornings with JWs on the doorstep

Didnt Karl ask "How would i know which one was me"? when you put the clone question to him some time ago? Dosnt seem like such a mental question to ask after hearing this now. :)

Robin's hair makes you realise how much we've all aged

Where can I hear this with the music included

Robin and Richard make this episode. Gervais is so desperate to be liked and to try and prove how smart he is. He says 'of course' a billion times and rushes to speak over to people to say the same things he says all the time. Someone made a good point on a previous episode that I haven't listened to because it's more of the same except with worse guests, episode 2, but Gervais really does seem to have turned into a real David Brent. All he wants to be is liked and he'll say whatever he can to be part of the group.

"Closest thing to magic.." You just deplatformed science ffs!

Swear down that every day that goes by Ricky's head gets further and further up his own ass. Don't get me wrong he's always being very egotistical but it seems so have gotten out of control especially in the last few years. Although I don't blame him, he's done well for himself so fair play.

As an atheist I don't see why Ricky needs to talk about God so much. It's supposed to be the religious ones that go on about all that.

Shut the fuck up about atheism Gervais. Goddam, he's become as annoying as a religious fanatic.

Finally!!! Ricky unites with Robin again!!!

I can imagine that having Ricky Gervais as a friend can be very very annoying, from listening to what Robin Ince was saying, .. constantly asking him the same question over and over and over.

I fucking love Richard Dawkins

Dawkins starts @ 52:00

Why is eugenics off the table for discussion? We know that we have been foiling natural selection in humans. We know that a species that doesn't continually adapt to its environment is at an evolutionary disadvantage and risks disease epidemics or even extinction. Eugenics has a bad name just because the Nazis tried it. But you don't have to be a totalitarian or a racist to be a eugenicist. You don't have to take away anyone's reproductive rights or to treat people unequally. You could let people know the strengths and weaknesses of their genetic makeup and let them know the likely strengths and weaknesses of their children with a certain mate. They could then decide how they want to reproduce, choosing from natural breeding, adoption, surrogacy, genetic donation, genetic modification, or whatever else, knowing the likely consequences for the children and for humanity. Informed, knowledgeable reproduction with a long- long-term goal of maintaining a healthy species. Each individual could consider it or completely ignore it, as they wish, just as people decide for themselves whether they are going to opt into medical treatment, good nutrition, physical exercise etc.

Get karl on the show

Stop talking over Richard!!! FFS.

Why would you take him on tour he is shite

Roughly 47 minutes in I think they are on about Katie Hopkins, am i wrong?

I was exepcting it to be shit because Steve and Karl aren't there but it actually wasn't too bad.

Ricky is the Karl out of these three.

Dawkins is a great guest. But you know, deep in you heart, you HAVE to bring Karl back for at least one episode of this.

Ricky says he doesn't focus on things he hates yet when he's talking to a brilliant biologist he can't help but bring up the tiniest group of people that are stupid enough to think that they have disproved evolution because they haven't seen any genetic changes in chimps after 6 years of observation. Why are you bringing these people up? Even the most passionate creationists usually aren't stupid enough to argue that point. Seems really trivial.

Great new series Rickster

gervais clearly making a joke about how a spider invented webbage by having a gossamer out of its adbomen and its mates all thought thats a good idea and also did it... Dawkins: Thats not how it worked NO SHIT?????

He rufty he’s tufty

Sorry, but the lack of volume and lack of consistency in volume is VERY frustrating, every episode so far. Is there an engineer for post session? If not I'll do it for free...

Nothing without KP

Loving this for the Nick Cave reference

Waiting for Steve and the Manc twat Karl but knowing they will not appear.. sad times.

Pretty funny. Gervais has a certain magic on audiobook / radio / podcast vibe which is still right there again... Though I'm cringing at points in this, due to how lecture like Gervais speaks even with Richard fkn Dawkins sat there lmao, and on Evolution too! Not to say he doesn't understand it, but the way he speaks, is literally Brent-esque, like to be that kind of... like he is the best bearer of actual information in the room with the little "Evolution happened, Okay?'' like he's giving a lecture lmao. When you have one of the most amazing evolutionary biologists right there. Plus he barely lets Richard speak, even when Ince continuously tries to steer towards Dawkins and get this incredibly knowledgable man's view on shit, Gervais keeps barging in to repeat his same opinions that he's said a billion times on every platform which will let him, over, and over, almost verbatim. Ffs Gervais get yourself in check. Gervais' ego for the past 5-7 years especially is mental though.

I said was he gonna be here, you know I don't like him ; )

I'm convinced Ricky is gonna have a final and bonus episode with Steve and Karl!

Get in the pool get in the pool get in the pool hahaha. Enjoying these podcasts keep them coming

Can we have karl and Steve back for one show

Yawn...
