This one was a full-tilt, no-agenda, off-the-cuff joyride. Bobby and I kicked things off talking about breakfast and concussions, and before we knew it, we were deep in the world of comedy - what makes it brilliant, what makes it brutal, and why it hits different for all of us. We riffed on our favorite comics, from Andy Kaufman to Ricky Gervais to Hannah Gadsby, and unpacked the guts and grind it takes to get on stage and try to make people laugh (some skills and lessons that are transferrable to most of our lives). Bobby shared what it was like doing open mic nights with zero prep, how speaking lost its magic for him in 2024, and how he's finding his way back. I opened up about bombing (or thinking I was) during podcasts and in the ring, and we both explored that tricky line between perception and reality when you're putting yourself out there. There's a heap in here about performance, resilience, and the weird art of being real... whether you're on stage, in a boxing ring, or just figuring out how to be seen.

Minnesotan dentist Walter Palmer killed Cecil The Lion on 2nd July, 2015; ending the life of a beloved and photogenic big cat, and kickstarting his career as the internet's most vilified trophy hunter. Cecil, who lived in Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park, wasn't just any lion - he was being tracked by Oxford scientists, and was a hit with tourists, known for his majestic black mane and his chill attitude toward safari vehicles. Palmer used a bow and arrow, returning 11 hours later to finish the kill, behead him, and leave the body to rot.  The backlash was explosive. Palmer's dental office, homes, and reputation were targeted with vandalism, hate mail, and death threats; his Yelp reviews are still haunted by Cecil's ghost. While many in Africa were confused by the global outrage, Western celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel, Ricky Gervais, and Ellen turned the story into a viral cause. Palmer claimed ignorance - he didn't know Cecil was special. But critics asked: why be okay with killing a lion at all? In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the ethics of big game hunting; investigate Palmer's trophy-hunting past (and present); and, ten years on from this viral moment, ask if the backlash following Cecil's death led to any positive outcomes…  Further Reading: • ‘Why Cecil the Lion Was So Popular With People' (National Geographic, 2015): https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/150730-cecil-lion-africa-hunting-science-animals • ‘Cecil the lion's legacy: five years on' (University of Oxford, 2020): https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2020-12-21-cecil-lion-s-legacy-five-years • ‘Cecil The Lion's Death: What Really Happened Is Revealed In New Book 'Lion Hearted'' (TODAY, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgwHH9oS3IA Love the show?

Ever wondered why your feed is filled with extreme transformations and diet challenges? In this candid conversation, we pull back the curtain on social media algorithms that reward controversy while burying genuinely helpful health content.The discussion takes a fascinating turn as we explore the phenomenon of fitness influencers presenting carefully curated physiques. From strategic lighting and posing to the unspoken truth about performance-enhancing substances, we break down why so many "natural" fitness personalities aren't being entirely honest about their methods. This deception becomes particularly problematic when these same influencers sell programs without disclosing the real story behind their results.We tackle the delicate balance between pursuing health and actually enjoying life. Drawing from a Ricky Gervais perspective, we question whether extreme optimization is worth sacrificing life's pleasures. Are you truly living if you're bringing meal prep containers to Disneyland just to maintain your physique? Our hosts share personal experiences from both sides of this spectrum – from obsessive optimization to finding a sustainable middle ground where health enhances rather than restricts.The conversation doesn't shy away from criticizing problematic content like extreme weight loss challenges that essentially recreate "The Biggest Loser" format with its known unsustainable approaches. We discuss why these methods get millions of views while realistic, sustainable approaches often go unnoticed.Throughout it all, we emphasize the importance of nuance in health discussions – something increasingly rare in a social media landscape that rewards binary thinking. Whether discussing weight management, fitness approaches, or supplement use, we advocate for thoughtful consideration of the complex trade-offs involved in all health decisions.Join us for this thought-provoking episode that might just change how you view your social media feed and your approach to health and fitness.

The 11 o Clock Show In the twilight years of the 1990s, The 11 O'Clock Show exploded onto Channel 4 as a sharp, satirical late-night comedy that would come to define a cultural shift in British humour. Launched in 1998, the show embraced controversy, irreverence, and chaos—offering a blend of current affairs commentary, anarchic sketches, and daring character work. What began as an experimental format with modest expectations quickly grew into a breeding ground for some of the most iconic comedic voices of the next two decades. This episode explores how The 11 O'Clock Show served as the launchpad for then-unknown talents like Sacha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais, and Mackenzie Crook. We revisit Ali G's legendary rise from fringe character to cultural juggernaut, Ricky Gervais' early incarnations of cringe comedy, and Crook's subtle brilliance in darkly offbeat sketches. All three would go on to revolutionise British and global comedy in their own ways, but it was this chaotic Channel 4 late-nighter where the seeds were first sown. Behind the camera, the writing talent was equally impressive, with future stars like Charlie Brooker and John Oliver contributing to the show's jagged, boundary-testing tone. With contributions from Father Ted creators and Borat collaborators, The 11 O'Clock Show was a nexus of comedy evolution, fusing tabloid cynicism with Gen X sarcasm. The episode also unpacks the cultural moment that gave rise to the show: a time when New Labour's gloss was beginning to crack, political correctness was being loudly challenged, and the media was becoming increasingly self-aware. The 11 O'Clock Show didn't always get it right—it could be juvenile, offensive, and uneven—but it helped pave the way for the next era of British satire. More than two decades later, the show's influence can still be felt in the tone, style, and structure of modern comedy. From Ali G's real-world interviews to the cringe-laced realism of The Office, The 11 O'Clock Show helped rewrite the rules of televised humour. This episode takes you back to the messy, brilliant, late-night chaos that changed the face of comedy—whether Channel 4 knew it or not. Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth.

“Be happy. It really annoys negative people.” Ricky Gervais

‘Nonkels'-regisseur Jelle Gordyn heeft een gigantische dvdkast. Om die collectie te blijven verantwoorden, bespreekt hij die films met gasten in zijn eigen podcast: DVDKast. Ontbreekt veelal in zijn verzameling: Disneyfilms. Reden? Die liggen allemaal nog op VHS in het ouderlijk huis. Voor mijn podcast geef ik Jelle huiswerk en kijken we vooraf naar de familiefilm ‘Old Yeller': ooit onderwerp van een hele aflevering van ‘Friends' en een comedy bit in de Netflix-special ‘Armageddon' van Ricky Gervais. Daarin heeft de comedian het ook over doesthedogdie.com, een website die zijn bestaansreden dankt aan ‘Old Yeller'. We hebben het over het regisseren van dieren, het trauma van alle Angelsaksische babyboomers en een kindacteur die door Walt Disney zelf op het matje werd geroepen. Maar we wijken ook uit over ontluikende seksualiteit met Jasmine van Aladdin, het hotel van Knabbel en Babbel, en een roterende Dumbo-nachtlamp die een jonge Jelle én nu ook zijn nageslacht in slaap wiegt. En we onderzoeken de humor in ‘Nonkels' en de problematische Disney-films van de jaren 1940.

Once described as the 'comedian's comedian' Stewart Lee has been performing stand up since 1988. He is known for pushing boundaries with his intelligent, self-referential and often provocative style of comedy but in his new show 'Stewart Lee vs the Man Wulf' he questions his place on the comedy circuit in an era of increasing populism rhetoric and the popularity of, in his words “$60m Netflix comedians of hate.” In this episode of Ways to Change the World with Krishnan Guru-Murthy he discusses the state of comedy today and what he thinks of the comedy style of comics like Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle as well as why he wouldn't tour America right now. As The Observer, the world's oldest Sunday newspaper begins a new era under Tortoise media he also reflects on his column for the paper which he's stopped after 15 years. Produced by Holly Snelling and Sachin Croker

Enjoy nine free minutes from our Patreon-exclusive episode about the pilot of the American Office. Hear the full thing by subscribing at https://patreon.com/loadbearingbeams for $5/month. Matt and Wade go through the pilot episode of the American Office. They compare their personal fandoms of the show and how deep their knowledge runs, and then briefly discuss how the show was adapted from the British series created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, its rocky first season and slow ascent into a megahit, and its lasting cultural legacy. And as for the pilot itself, which is generally not well regarded, Matt is surprised at how solid it is, how good a job it does at setting up the series, and how fully formed the main characters already are. The Office was created by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant, and developed by Greg Daniels. It stars Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer The pilot is directed by Ken Kwapis & written by Greg Daniels (adapted from a teleplay by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant) Original air date: March 24, 2005 Source: The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s: An Oral History by Andy Greene (2020) - https://amzn.to/4juDN9i Hear Wade's incredible album WHO SAID THAT? on Apple Music, Spotify, or wherever else music is streamed.

The Origins Podcast began with a bang, a Big Bang. Over the first month of our recording, we traveled to two continents, and 4 cities and recorded 16 episodes in 22 days. It was a whirlwind, and one of the most amazing experiences I can recall. While in London, we took advantage of the amazingly gracious acceptance by Ricky Gervais to appear on the podcast. It was a day I will always remember. Ricky had appeared in our film, The Unbelievers, which followed me and Richard Dawkins around the world. Gus and Luke Holwerda, who directed and filmed that movie helped create The Origins Podcast, and for the first year, filmed all the episodes. Ricky graciously agreed to appear in front of their cameras one more time, and joined us at what was then New College of Humanities, where I was a visiting Professor. From the moment he arrived, it was clear it was going to be great. As he had been when we filmed The Unbelievers Ricky claimed to be nervous and was worried he would appear ignorant. He needn't have worried. Maybe that is one of the reasons he is so good at what he does, because he worries about rising to the challenge. We discussed his early life, his love of science, his early interest in biology and then philosophy, then the science of comedy, the comedy of religion, and the need for free speech. He then proceeded to demand a mind-bending, personal science lesson from me. It was amazing. He was amazing. Enjoy this, our first rebroadcast of a classic Origins Podcast Episode that is worth watching once again. Enjoy. As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers. Your subscriptions support the non-profit Origins Project Foundation, which produces the podcast. The audio version is available free on the Critical Mass site and on all podcast sites, and the video version will also be available on the Origins Project YouTube.

BEST OF compilation of The Re-Education of Karl, where Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant teach their bald round-headed lackey, Karl Pilkington, about various interesting topics. Ricky usually gives Karl some homework to do in the week on a historical figure, and Karl describes on air what he's learned from his reading and other 'educational' assignments. This BEST OF compilation is based on the comprehensive 2-part RE-EDUCATION OF KARL compilation previously issued on this channel.CHAPTERS:KARL'S GCSE RESULTS (0:00)GLADIATOR & RASPUTIN (5:31)CHE GUEVARA (15:53)ADOLF HITLER (27:04)WINSTON CHURCHILL (37:09)AESOP'S FABLES (47:56)FAMOUS QUOTES (58:46)KARL'S HAPPINESS QUOTE (1:05:21)

BEST OF compilation of the rare moments when Karl Pilkington laughs, chuckles, giggles, and chortles. During The Ricky Gervais Show's run on XFM in the early 2000s, Karl Pilkington rarely laughed, even while saying some of the most ridiculous things imaginable. But every so often, Karl would laugh, whether because he realized his own absurdity, or Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant had said something so hilarious that he simply couldn't contain himself. In these precious moments, Karl's laughter really is infectious. Enjoy!

BEST OF compilation of WHITE VAN KARL, one of the most memorable features of The Ricky Gervais Show's run on XFM in the early 2000s. Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais ask their "producer," Karl Pilkington, the questions that the Sun asks someone else in their White Van Man section, where a member of the public is asked their opinions on the week's big political and social hot potatoes. Essentially, the Sun's White Van Man provides the "average Joe" perspective on the week's big stories. Similarly, WHITE VAN KARL provides an avenue to explore Karl's unique perspective on political issues and current events. Some of the greatest moments on the XFM show; e.g., MAN MOTH, HORSE IN THE HOUSE, etc., came out of this feature. This BEST OF compilation is based on the 2-part compilation of WHITE VAN KARL released previously on the channel.

His name is Ricky Gervais. He likes a crisp IPA, a ripe international spy thriller, and he also happens to care deeply about humanity.
