Is it just me or does simon amstell look like jesse eisenberg

good interview of ricky by simon lol. i was expecting friction when I saw amstell was going to be a guest, he never suffered fools gladly but I think he successfully played ricky at his own game here, whether he heard the previous shows or just knew how Gervais is he clearly decided if rick was gona talk about himself then he'd indulge him 100 percent and he managed to get info about ricks life wed not heard before (amongst the repetition) so he really lifted the show, I hope rick has him back.

1:07:07 listening to that in April 2020 feels creepy.

I really adore doctor Simon.

This is cool-I am listening to this after posting on Twitter with a friend ( we both like Ricky Gervais) and issues of anxiety came up and other stiff came up. Felt a bit self-conscious. But this helped. As always, Ricky Gervais always helps. Uncanny. Also have a carpet burning story with radiator that my mum caused. It was near where my dad sat at night drinking. She put one off the pouffé ( things) over it, and though it wasn’t actually in its normal place, it was never discovered.

Not sure about self analysing, eggs, milk, werent the animals put here to keep us alive, im sure humans are a higher species, jj

Respect to you Ricky for moving towards veganism. It's a gradual progression for most people.

You are really going down in a rabbit hole with an overly ethical eating mindset because so many other parts of our very existence rely on the exploitation of animals, not the least of which is the exploitation of the human animal for cheap labour... (From which we all benefit is so, so many ways...) Then, of course, you have the simple fact that whatever you have now given up, you once had to have been doing... So, essentially you are inextricably tied to the behavior which you now consider unethical. I once had a Buddhist tell me that I, and by extension every other non vegan, would suffer the karma of rebirth as a lessor creature for my sins... Too bad that her father was a butcher so she would inevitably have had a very rich meat diet for most of her life before it was revealed to her, in her 40's, that strict veganism was the only ethical way to live her life.

Thank you Ricky, for doing this again.

I can't stand Simon Amstell, he isn't funny and was CRAP on the Buzzcocks. His fucking laugh goes right through me too. He washes up badly when somone gets the better of him and he persistently tried to pick at Ricky all through this episode after Ricky owned him from the beginning.

I love Ricky. But by fuck is he a sanctimonious sycophant

I never understood Ricky Gervais so much.

Ricky 'you know what I mean?' Gervais

am I th only one who was disappointed to hear Ricky Gervais is goin vegan

why do you care?...

Could of been a great episode as Simon is really intelligent and funny but as usual Ricky just wanted to interrupt and talk about himself

21:20 👌

Ricky has the same viewpoint as I do about animals. Ricky and Simon are magickal perfect together!

I love Ricky but i love Simon more, he helped me to go vegan (well pescatarian).

Ricky wasn't given the opportunity to make a meal of Simon's vulnerabilities. Well played.

I agree with the many other comments, fantastic episode! I’ve always adored Simon and after this I adore him even more. Please have him on again! I could listen to Ricky and Simon for hours.

I love Simon, and used to love Gervais' media appearances, but I couldn't get past 25 mins of Ricky....I really tried.

Sean isn't really there. I love that amstell takes the piss out of RG. Would love to see him back on TV ripping the piss out of vapid celebs.

Bring back Karl for f**** sake.

Let the guests talk Ricky.

Hello! Are you doing any more in 2018, Ricky? I was personally really enjoying them all.

Can we have an episode with Karl, Clive Warren and Rebecca De Mornay please?

Really enjoyed this episode, Simon is a great therapist! Lol

GET KARL ON

I long for another episode with Smerch and the little round headed Twonk.

Simon amstal is brilliant very funny but the whole holocaust meat eating thing makes him a cunt.

why?

Simon Amstel & David Baddiel have been the best guests by a long long way. Simon was trying to get into really interesting areas and managed to squeeze out a few droplets, but Ricky is unsurprisingly resistant to getting into any material other than the “comedy shop talk” with dull hacks such as the other comedian and the rest of his guests, repeated for the 25th time.

i was sceptical of rick with out karl or stephen but nah i am enjoying these shows

Ricky's bullshit carpet story

Just skip around to any time stamp and you can almost guarantee that it’ll be Gervais talking. This show clearly doesn’t require guests because no one else gets a fucking chance to talk 😂

I am a massive Ricky fan and I think this is o e of the first times I seen Ricky let his guard down , Amstel really brought out the best of him in this interview

STEVE AND KARL

This is spectacular. Thank goodness for someone (Simon Amstell) who understands the value of asking a question.

Ricky's first therapy session, broadcast to the entire planet. If it had been advertised as such it would have got even more listeners.

Jesus, that weasel (whichever one of the two that is) has the most annoying laugh in the world. It's like he's trying to imitate Ricky's, but it just ends up being cringy and painful. And judging from how little Ricky himself laughed he must have noticed it too.

Best guest so far. Simon is really funny.

Come on Rick let the other two speak

Sorry - was Sean in this? :p I loved him in previous episode and I share his surname so respect him for that! But Simon + Ricky = Amazing new direction.

Simon Amstell really should have his own podcast. Very intelligent and honest. I think funny follows naturally when you have those two traits (usually).

Competitive comedians.

So is this a youtube series? How do I find it on iTunes?

Do u know what would be the best Christmas present ever? If Ricky done a Christmas special show with Stephen and Karl... Do u think he's even asked them for the new year maybe?

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...

Really good episode this, Simon amstell works brilliantly as an interviewer. These guests work greatly with Ricky as he always has a lot to say and sometimes with the likes of Robin Ince, they also want the limelight so can be a bit of a shouting match on who speaks over who, but with Sean happy to take a back seat and speak every now and then and Simon's intellect as well as his patience really makes a good dynamic for all 3 of these to show their full personalities without conflicting one another, very similar set up of timings as ricky Stephen and Karl, really good pacing. Not deluded that a Karl ricky and Stephen podcast would happen again as everyone has gone their own seperate ways, but in regards to getting Karl on professionally to talk about his new programme coming onto Sky at some point would be nice

I just wish Ricky would try a little harder not to repeat himself in these. The guests probably haven't heard these lines but the audience often have about 8 times already. I like everything he says I just wish he wouldn't say it so many times.

Joseph Pickard that won't happen, sadly. Bill Burr isn't a fan of Ricky's after his Golden Globes appearances. I love them both but he mentioned this on Joe Rogan Experience a while back. Shame, really...

The best episode yet, i like the chemistry between Ricky and Simon. I think this just shows that this is a good concept it just depends on who Ricky has in the room. He needs someone to bounce off or challenge him so he doesn't have to talk about himself the whole time to make it interesting

I like it. Big fan of Simon Amstell. Loved the egg shaming! Fleetwood Mac a good choice but can you play some of their early bluesy Peter Green stuff?

This is a lot better than the last few ones. I really enjoyed the psychoanalysis and am still in awe of Simon Amstell's intellect. Very interesting episode, thanks for listening to our feedback!!

Jesus fucking Christ. Ricky... We know your story! As a Gervais fan... I understand not everybody would know his story but he's told his entire story ON THIS PODCAST on like every episode! Gervais has turned into an almost unbearable fkn narcissist. I have never heard another human being turn so much back to themselves, so often, and repeat themselves - so much. Fuck. IT WAS OVER IN A YEAR! Yeah we know Rick!

😁

are these not on another platform? only see the pilot on acast etc.

Tea all over the worlds smallest man. ricky needs to start trying to be sick on his guests leg. would make it much less repetetive

How does Simon look YOUNGER than he did on Buzzcocks?

Why is the 'IS' in caps unlike the others?

Carnage is really good. I'm still eating meat after seeing it, but it's very well put together and does get you thinking.

Simon: "because you'll need both hands for this joke..."

The next podcast is number 10. A milestone that will introduce and conclude with Karl, hopefully.

THIS is your therapy Ricky 😜

Christopher Mapson I'm sick of the dissection of comedy. Sick of it.

I have some serious sad tales of woe. So sad they make girls cry (so I dont speak about it much as its not fair, not very manly to make girls feel sad for you) What I did was look for ways to re-frame events so they changed my feelings towards everything/everyone. I also came up with exercises and other ways/things to do to get rid of the pain. Im pretty fucking clever if truth be known ;) Except sometimes the pain does seep through.

Easily the best one yet !'. Great dynamic between you and the collaborations of laughs from Ricky and Simon. Fantastic.

I like Simon in every other medium I've seen him in other than stand-up. Which feels weird. But I like him...

Hands down, Simon has been the best guest of the series so far. Baddiel wasn’t bad either.

I wish Simon had interviewed Sean McLoughlin instead so we could hear something new.

I know Gervais cares about the environment but recycling material for 20 years is a little over the top isn't it?
