I wonder if rick is still friends with louis

People who comment about karl and steave have a lower IQ than the regular person they cant handle the conversations that Stephen, sean and ricky are having

I don't agree with Stephen that it's primarily virtue signalling. It's more sinister. They want to erode society by aiming for public figures that were culturally significant. The target is not John Wayne, it's you.

Jesus, they're just saying don't name an airport after him. Would you have a Hitler airport, even though "he's been dead for 70 years." Fair enough if you want to argue about whether naming an airport after a white supremacist is important or not, but don't caricature the position

Hi Ricky, listening to this podcast in wigan. So get that in yer pipe. I win that one. I think jesus is just a red herring, of a simile to the universe, like Christmas time symbolises the death of darkness and the resurrection of light. Thus saying that science is the the power. And science died for all our sins.. Love your magical expressive mind. And I often wish I could find if I could have handled your genius, the way you have. Class in a glass mate.

I think I heard these exact points and arguments from Ricky in every episode....

Love your stuff Ricky, one question I ponder is if an artist is a known offender can you not enjoy their pieces for what they are rather than associating it with what they’ve done?

very good would be better with karl tho

Why does Ricky think this is a good listen?

Ricky Gervais reminds us it's important to be angry about people who can't be bothered to be angry.

You podcasts soo good

Just more Masonic distraction for the masses...

John Wayne is a hero if It wasn't for him we'd all be speaking apache...

I know i just "live in a bin" but these podcasts are dreadful & so is After Life.

Pretty shit these podcasts, to be honest a lot of the stuff you’ve done since you went to America has been pretty shit. At least your doing what you want though, which is being shit.

So iv just finished Afterlife - brilliant Ricky, you are the gift that keeps on giving ❤ then I put normal tv on to see an advert for a documentary on restless leg syndrome followed by a bunch of "freaks" being put in a house together. TV gold right there for Karl, can you let him know and then get him on Deadly Sirius to ramble about it pleeeeease. I know it gets boring keep being asked about Karl and Steve but its what the people want 😁 you are all brilliant. Thanks for all the laughs always ✌❤

I enjoyed this one with Karl McLoughlin and Stephen Karl and Rickarl Gervais

CMIIW: The music in this episode is sorted by artist's name as well? So Robin Ince was right? :-)

The early Jews weren’t monotheist, the are polytheist, and the other gods they believed in are spoken of in the Hebrew Bible. They just ended up over time settling an YHWH.

I used to think, like you guys, the reason why people like Churchill and more recently Wayne, were being brought up was to show us how racist these individuals were, but since Mary Poppins and the Coal Miners have been added I really think there’s a group of “anti-colonialist” activists out there who are determined to try and convince everyone white skin = racist, and some of those activists have white skin. It’s bizarre, and it’s so bizarre I recently saw outrage on twitter about Will Smith playing a part in a movie about an historical black man and they were complaining Will Smith’s skin isn’t dark enough because the historical figure had darker skin than him. The term for this is Colourism apparently. It’s insane.

Hate that word "woke". Such a shitty liberal media buzzword. Phrases already existed before woke that cover this issue, we don't need a word that sounds like Justin Bieber made up. "Politically correct" , or "socially aware", are perfectly serviceable phrases - we don't need woke.

@experiment54 its extremely rare to find symmetry down there. The left is usually hanging a bit lower than the right. Sometimes vice versa. It would show through the fabric of the pant. He could wear a tight cup with the pants over the top though. That would probably work. He wouldn't feel the heat as much then though. He could also pre-warm the cup on the radiator. That would work. This system does require the radiators to be on whilst ironing though. Things can get very sweaty and moist under these circumstances. The Cup/pants/iron/radiator mix is going make things just a bit too warm for comfort maybe. I dunno, you'll have to ask him.

What the Jamaican fella might say if he was on the Titanic. 'Christ De Burg'

The beginning is so silly. The lack of understanding and nuance from Ricky is just disappointing. Of course, there is virtue signaling involved in these instances. It's involved in everything. He is virtue signaling now to his gang show how "pro-free speech" he is. Just because there might be some signaling involved doesn't mean the main points are false. John Wayne and Churchill are touted as heroes. Some people are saying that maybe they shouldn't be. Maybe we should focus on their complete legacy, not just the cool parts. It's exactly like taking down Confederate monuments in the US. While the reaction could be hyperbolic sometimes, the main point is reconsidering and rejecting legends and false narratives about our "heroes". It's called growing up as a society. Free speech doesn't mean promoting assholes are heroes. *it gets better when he starts talking about intent and comedy.

@Dantegrey1 You literally said that it's authoritarian to police ideas and opinions and that's what the "postmodernists" are doing. You said you want a "new counterculture", and I'm misrepresenting you? No, I've gone out of my way to give a generous representation of your views. There is no authoritarian left forcing you to chose your heroes, except they are forcing you to see the whole picture by putting it out there. Just because you don't see it's important enough thing to do, doesn't mean you should strawman what they are trying to do. Movements to removing the statues of racists is part of that. It is a cultural war. People are aggressive while making their case, sometimes too aggressive. But that doesn't make them authoritarian. People who put up those statues were authoritarian. It's not a zero-sum game between progress in terms of economic equity, environment, and social change. These are all important. People can care about and fight for multiple things. There is an urgency with the environment and the inequality. But that doesn't mean that we should forget about a small black child looking at the statue of Forrest in his town square like he was a goddamn hero. You keep saying "minority" like it's supposed to prove a point. It doesn't. Every movement starts with a minority of stalwarts until other people catch up.

@DesiBookLover I believe you miss my point again. You have done this a lot. At least, it seems that you keep ascribing views to me, that I do not hold. I do not think that anyone is forcing me to think anything. I did not accuse a generation of anything either. I did not glorify the counterculture, but they did move society forward. These are not the ideas of a ”generation” at all, but of a small but very vocal subset of the left - regardless of generation. It does not matter to me that someone interprets things differently from me. What matters is if they can explain and defend their views. ”Remove it!” is not adding nuance. Calling for public debate and perhaps an in depth investigation into these characters would be. But that is not what is happening. It is knee-jerk reactions and black/white thinking on Twitter and amongst pundits and NOlocal-celebs. I am all for rethinking old heroes and historical events, but not to just run and land hard in the opposite basket, whenever I find anything ugly. There is no nuance in that. What I am talking about here is political. Trump must be out of the White House by 2021. Europe must have stopped, and started reversing, the extreme polarization soon. This is what I care about. We have immediate threats to the survival of democracy, rights and our planet, and we (on the left) need (generally again) to focus more on political success. Our ideas are losing out, and has been for a long time. I admire your optimism about things just playing out as they have before, but do you have no sense of urgency? Also, the ”I know I am, but what are you”-argument seems odd here. Some people are outraged about a lot of things, and those who are tired of that are the outraged ones. I find that uncompelling. Sort of like Trump complaining about fake news. Turned on its head, you know?

@Dantegrey1 I know you didn't mean literally throwing up. Lol. I was using your own analogy to say that these people who are "sick and tired of hearing about it" are the ones living in an outrage culture, not these "postmodernists". It's like that old man screaming at neighborhood kids: GET OFF MY LAWN!! Nobody wants to be on your lawn, Sir! Nobody is forcing them to hear about it. They can put up posters of Hitler for all anyone cares. The question is to add nuance to the public narrative about our "heroes". I don't know who are these imaginary authoritarian kids who are forcing you to not like Churchill. When we speak in generalities, we can accuse any generation of anything. I don't find the counterculture generation was any more inspiring than generations after them. They were "woke" but they were also self-indulgent. And then they sold their soul for docker pants and rogaine (as George Carlin would say). They sold their ideals for corporate greed. They promised the world a new enlightenment and they gave us Steve Jobs. What you find prudish might mean something else to the new generation, Like respect of other people's dignity. These are changing values. It has happened before and it will happen again. Some of them will stick, some of them won't. It's not any more "authoritarian" than social changes that younger people of the previous generations forced on society. That's how change happens. There is an outcry about real or perceived inequities. The reactionaries react. When the dust settles, we make a little progress.

he talks about the same stuff, twitter pc etc, not interesting

Hello and welcome to the Ricky Gervais Show; with me Ricky Gervais, Steven Merchant (Hello) and the little round-headed buffoon, that is Karl Pilkington (Alright!). Karl is still surprisingly correct about most thing even today.

Great pod Ricky. Stephen is amazing, so often the voice of reason and clarity on Twitter.

You simply MUST separate the art from the artist at all costs. How is there any logic otherwise? Just because a person's actions don't meet with whatever arbitrary standards of present-day society doesn't make the art/music/films any less amazing and beautiful

its gotta have stephen and karl or fuckoff.

And i agree u shouldnt condem a person for the rest of there life just for a comment they made maybe they was having a bad day maybe they was ill or anything or even if its just there actual belief they have a right to that belief its when u start attacking people or something that u say your going too far now lol

Ricky please stick to comedy you sound like an activist when you start talking about religion it’s sooo boring

Totally agree on the church comment how is it still jst allowed to carry on and not even just on that subject when u think about it they are homophobic and a whole host of crimes yet they get treat with upmost respect in society

but wasn't a certain celeb (mentioned in the podcast) actually confirmed to have slept with a 15 year old? as in openly self confessed.

i liked this more than i thought i would, we all love Karl but Ricky has very interesting conversations talking to anyone, he needs to get Karl on though once, but the thing is i don't think he can talk to him like he used to, Karl won't put up with his head being squeezed and called a bald headed twat every 2 minutes these days.
