KARL PILKINGTON VS. STEPHEN MERCHANT: INSULTS & ARGUMENTS - Part 3

PART 3 of a compilation of all the best insults, tiffs, spats, arguments, and general bickering between Frenemies, Stephen "Goggle-Eyed Freak" Merchant, and Karl "Bald Manc Twat" Pilkington. As usual, Ricky Gervais stirs the pot, and laughs hysterically at his handiwork as Steve and Karl go at each other's looks and perceived character defects. Ricky will often prompt Karl to consider Steve's physical appearance, which inevitably leads Karl on an unintentionally hilarious tangent. Steve tends to pick on Karl for his laziness and antisocial behavior. This is a no-holds-barred compilation. Not for the faint of heart!

Om Podcasten

Y'alright? Ages ago... People were sayin' this is the definitive fan-led remastering & lost content discovery project for the legendary XFM radio show with Ricky "Play a Record" Gervais, Stephen "Man Alive" Merchant and Karl "K-Man" Pilkington, with such gems as MONKEY NEWS & EDUCATING RICKY. The trio began their pointless, mind-numbing Saturday afternoon radio show in August 2001 on XFM, a shoddy tin-pot radio station. They did 4 radio series before launching their record-breaking podcast in 2005. Enjoy remastered episodes with lost bits, and original compilations! Not Radio X or Global.
