Clint, Meg, and Dan react to New Zealand’s first football World Cup loss since 1982 (blowing a 1–0 lead to lose 3–1) and look ahead to the next match. Dan shares a new half-marathon sponsorship with a chafing-cream brand and the awkward mid-race reapplication. They discuss UK politics and a game comparing world leaders’ time in power, then run movie trailer updates for Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats and Taika Waititi’s Clara. The show plugs a Warehouse $2,000 trolley grab, chats Love Actually vs Jackass, and gets “naughty” about Clint’s wife smelling his farts after nasal surgery. They cover cheating caught via home cameras, debate A/B/C-listers, celebrate “super grandparents,” and use a listener’s pig Spencer to predict France vs Iran 00:00 NZ World Cup Heartbreak 01:41 Chafe Cream Sponsorship 05:00 UK Politics Guessing Game 09:08 Movie Trailer Scandals 10:45 Hooked Musical Nerves 15:25 Naughty 640 18:50 Ronaldo Rolls Royce Rumor 20:15 Weird News Roundup 23:43 Books by Boomers Returns 28:57 Hooked Final Song Preview 35:33 Oracle Pig Picks France 38:21 Cheater Catching Tech 43:01 Listener Cheating Stories 47:35 Cash Call Fail 49:54 A Lister Debate 59:56 Burnout Nana Legend 01:03:04 Super Grandparents Calls

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Safe Haven for Donkeys named a foal “Gervase” after Ricky Gervais donated £100,000 as part of £2.5 million split among 22 animal charities; the charity treats donkeys across Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of Egypt, and rescued a pregnant donkey, Debra, who gave birth at its Israel sanctuary. A McDonald's employee says the drive-thru is usually faster due to timed metrics, suggests ordering a double cheeseburger “dressed like a Big Mac” for less, and says some locations may give away leftover hash browns near 11 a.m. A 23-year-old professional queuer, AJ, charges about £250 to stand in lines.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION From Yes Minister to The Thick of It, the political class has always been a go-to topic for comedians and satirists. But in a world in which political developments have become so extreme and self-satirising, is it still so easy to find laughs in the corridors of power? Regardless, politics seems to impact on how we assess comedy too. When British comedian Sam Nicoresti became the first transgender person to win the £10,000 award for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe, some questioned if this was more political virtue-signalling than an assessment of comedic brilliance. Nicoresti's statement added fuel to this disquiet: ‘I did this for the queers making weird art, and it's a privilege to share this moment with the first all-female line-up of award winners.' Mixing comedy and politics can be a double-edged sword. In an era of identity politics and offence culture, irreverence about political orthodoxies often collides with everything from hate-speech laws to cultural taboos, leading to cancelled shows, boycotts or social media storms. Ricky Gervais's infamous monologues mocking ‘woke' culture regularly draw ire from celebrities and media, even if loved by millions. While humour can critique politicians effectively, be an edgy way of holding power to account and even spark public debate by saying the unsayable in an engaging way, what happens if comedy itself becomes politically partisan? After all, alternative comedy's embrace of progressive, right-on, liberal orthodoxies has arguably become a ubiquitous way of squeezing out dissenting comic voices. What happens if anti-woke comedians stop making good jokes and simply ‘sing to the choir'? With the stakes seemingly higher than ever, and comedians taking robust political stances of their own, does comedy risk become simply another form of propaganda? SPEAKERS Steve N Allen broadcaster and comedian Nicholas De Santo comedian; TV journalist and commentator Leo Kearse comedian; writer, Breaking The News, Mock The Week and The Mash Report; co-creator, Hate 'n' Live Intel Lady satirist, performer CHAIR Andrew Doyle writer and comedian; author, The End of Woke: How the Culture War Went Too Far and What to Expect from the Counter-Revolution and The New Puritans

If you blended up Karl's brain and fed it to someone, would it make any difference? They wouldn't even notice, would they? I think we would all agree with Ricky Gervais, who once said to Karl: "I love your brain."Hope you enjoy this compilation of Karl's weird brain, strange life, and fatuous musings. CHEERS!
Extras begon als de lastige opvolger van The Office: hoe maak je iets nieuws nadat je een wereldhit hebt gemaakt? Ricky Gervais en Stephen Merchant kozen voor de wereld van figuranten, mislukte ambities en sterren met opvallend veel zelfspot. Van een ongemakkelijke ontmoeting met Patrick Stewart tot grote namen die hun eigen imago vakkundig slopen: waarom zeiden zoveel beroemdheden eigenlijk ja tegen deze serie? Andy Millman wil serieus genomen worden als acteur, maar belandt steeds opnieuw in situaties die vooral pijnlijk grappig zijn. Samen met zijn loyale maar sociaal rampzalige vriendin Maggie en zijn hopeloze agent Darren probeert hij door te breken in een wereld vol ego's, slechte keuzes en vernederingen. En wat gebeurt er als succes eindelijk komt, maar totaal niet in de vorm waarop je hoopte? We hebben het over de beroemdste gastrollen, een sitcom-in-een-sitcom die compleet ontspoort, een verrassend sterk einde én een speech uit de kerstspecial die jaren later nog steeds raak voelt. Was Extras een waardige opvolger van The Office? Je hoort het in deze Sitcomcast!

This week on the Newberg Pod, Ricky Gervais rescues beagles and bears, Paul Hollywood allegedly goes 96 mph to save a cat, and Hayden Panettiere enters the conversation for reasons that somehow make sense by the end. We talk about the Kevin Hart roast, the least attractive hobby someone you liked can have, and whether mall Santas spend the entire offseason emotionally preparing for sticky children and panic sweating parents. We also debate whether anyone will ever actually use their doomsday bunker, the most useless consumer rewards systems in America, and play MFK with a drive in, a mall, and a cider mill. Plus rapid fire questions including favorite spectator sports, favorite cereals, favorite cereal killers, whether love at first sight only works if you never have to see the person again, and which famous serial killer would be the absolute worst person to get trapped in a car with for eight hours. All this and the usual chaos on the Newberg Pod. Please like and subscribe and follow us on youtube: https://youtu.be/_HcflGFjYE0

Richard Gadd is the creative talent behind Baby Reindeer - the Netflix show which won six Primetime Emmys, two Golden Globes and garnered 84.5 million views within its first 45 days. Gadd began in stand-up, and by 2016 he'd won a Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe. His work became known for its compulsive storytelling, blending dark comedy with a kind of philosophical kink for asking audiences the most uncomfortable questions. Now Gadd returns with Half Man, a six-part drama co-production between HBO and the BBC, which Gadd created, wrote, executive produced and stars in. In this episode we talk through his childhood, how it felt to be abruptly catapulted into being the most googled man on the planet following the release of Baby Reindeer and the complexity of identity and sexuality. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 03:13 Fame and Self Worth 05:37 Writing Dark Truths 06:52 Baby Reindeer Explosion 08:00 Becoming Ruben 09:40 Half Man Meaning 10:57 Workaholism Origins 23:58 Family Support After Trauma 24:30 Comedy Meets Abuse Healing 26:13 Rebuking Shame 27:51 Fame And Re Triggering 29:12 Stubbornness And Casting Martha 33:03 Sexuality Beyond Labels 36:15 Grudges Empathy Forgiveness 40:13 Athlete Failure And Closing

Can atheism really be reduced to “I'm not convinced”? In this episode, Trent Horn joins Matt Fradd to respond to some of the most popular atheist clips online, including arguments from Ricky Gervais, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Matt Dillahunty, and Alex O'Connor. They tackle bad definitions of atheism, burden-shifting, the “one less god” objection, fine-tuning, divine hiddenness, and the problem of evil from a Catholic perspective. Whether you're wrestling with belief yourself or want better answers to common atheist objections, this conversation is packed with sharp arguments, clear distinctions, and practical ways to think through the debate.

Hello, here's something a bit different for you, it's a mash up episode of Trve. Cvlt. Fvlm! and Trve. Crvp. Pop! as Sam and Steve look at the 2016 movie and soundtrack album of David Brent: Life on the Road, released on the 19th of August 2016.David Brent, of course, is the fictional character that was the focus of The Office, one of British comedies finest ever shows. After a mere two series and one Christmas special, that was about as perfect as television could be, the character was retired by creator Ricky Gervais after that, or so we thought. A decade after The Office, Gervais brought Brent back for a Comic Relief sketch and tour with his fictional band Foregone Conclusion. So successful was it that he decided to expand on the idea of Brent living out his rock star dreams with a full blown movie, showing his exploits out on tour.It made about half of its £10m budget back and was generally not that well received, but ten year's down the line, how does it hold up? And are we looking at the whole pie Jenny?

Is the earth Concave? It seems to be according to the Rectilineator. Are IRGC agents roaming around Canada? Bill C-22 is coming hard. Canadian Gov safer drug supply conflicts of interest with machines, Newfoundland was actually taken over, speech by CEO of Palintir? Watch ferrofluid dance to vibrations, Ricky Gervais can't hold back against the corruption we can all see now, MJ12 v Collins Elite, Reptilian presidents, Bob Lazar on religious containers, Dark Journalist talks about the ancient occultism of CERN. Canada's chart on increase of regulations correlates with you know what, zero point energy, Amy Eskridge asks the question, and more theories on the great pyramids. Haha, Canada thinks they can compete with Elon and Starlink.... but why even try?

Johnny Mac delivers a sequel to his Oscars recap, focusing on Conan O'Brien's hosting: Variety quotes Disney TV exec Rob Mills calling Conan “host for life,” details producers' notes on bits (Leonardo DiCaprio's meme moment was not pre-briefed; Matt Berry announced from London), and mentions an end sketch parodying Best Picture winner “One Battle After Another” with no alternate endings. He contrasts tabloid criticism (Daily Mail, Radar Online) with praise from The Times and Nikki Glaser, and notes Ricky Gervais tweeted “F that” about hosting. He recounts Oscars snack boxes and Conan's note, reports fake anti-Trump/anti-Elon posters from “Everyone Hates Elon,” and a White House tweet attacking Jimmy Kimmel after a joke implying Trump.

Editor - Nigel Williams How to Get to Heaven From Belfast editor Nigel Williams once again finds himself cutting with showrunner Lisa McGee. Having first worked with McGee on her hit series, Derry Girls, the two are back together for a show that features Lisa's well-known witty dialogue and quirky characters, but this time all wrapped up in a mystery. How to Get to Heaven From Belfast is an eight-part series that follows three longtime friends. Now in their late 30s, but still as close as ever, the girls are about to embark on the most thrilling adventure of their lives. When an email arrives, telling them about the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood gang, a series of eerie events at her wake set them on a dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond. Together they try to piece together the truth of the past. It's a show about friendship, memory and what happens when life doesn't turn out quite like you'd expected. NIGEL WILLIAMS Nigel Williams is one of the most highly sought-after editors in comedy. He hit gold in 2000 when two strangers were looking to cut a pilot. Those strangers were Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Together they made one of the biggest comedies of all time, The Office. Nigel then went on to edit some of the most successful comedies on TV, including Extras, Outnumbered, Motherland, Horrible Histories and Tracey Ullman's Show. Nigel also edited 5 seasons of Episodes, starring Matt Leblanc, in Los Angeles, working with Jeffrey Klarik and David Crane (creator of Friends). Williams was thrilled that his recent work on hit show Derry Girls was recognized with a coveted BFE award for Best Editor. He has also co-founded Wrap Party Agency, and is committed to promoting more diversity and inclusion within post-production.

Hollywood and the media are in full meltdown mode after Don Lemon's arrest, and the reactions say everything. In this episode, we break down the arrest itself, the media response, and why so many high-profile figures rushed to defend him. From Jane Fonda to Megyn Kelly, Cuomo, Geraldo, and even Nicki Minaj, the fallout quickly spiraled into a cultural and political firestorm. Plus, Melania Trump's box office numbers spark outrage among critics, new Epstein file revelations raise serious questions, and shocking fraud allegations emerge from California hospice centers.
