Its three mates in a room on a Saturday afternoon, hanging out, listening to music, sharing stories, playing dumb games. The ultimate friend simulator.
There's also the lack of celebrity guests and fact that at the time it was going out to a very small audience (on XFM, now Radio X) with no celebrity guests so everyone is genuinely themselves and no ones trying to one up one another and they can share stories and opinions that they'd be too embarrassed to share or would get them in trouble elsewhere.
They did get complaints for saying wiener, c**t, balls as double meaning and stuff and they were supposed to get a dressing down for it, but Karl forgot to do it. And they'd constantly keep repeating the joke's that got them in trouble.
If anything it works because they weren't really proper mates.
Ricky and Steve hung out a lot for work but the big age gap between them meant they weren't really close friends in the traditional sense.
Ricky hung out with Karl a bit but pretty much only to probe his mind for nonsense and I get the feeling that Karl and Steve virtually never met each other unless it was something with Ricky involved.
If they were actually all good friends it would probably get a bit too cozy and therefore less funny.
I think I've listened to the entire XFM series about 5 times and the podcast cartoon multiple times, often listening to it whilst playing Dark Souls 2 and 1.
>on my 3465th listen >just got to the episode in series 2 where Karl does the monkey news about the little chimp who foiled a bank robbery and made a runner with the gun and the money
I had the weirdest experience listening to an old XFM episode where Stephen recounts a story of going to buy a PS2. I was imagining it like a story from when he was younger but then I realized this was actually actually recorded around the time the PS2 was relevant. Pretty ahead of its time it feels like a modern podcast even in the radio days
Christ de berg !

>Say 'frick' and 'shit' uncensored at 2pm on the radio
>You have so few listeners that no one even bothers to complain
kek, they really had it good.

wossy popped in with the tickets.
Dr Fox had the odd cameo, too.
He’s Dr. Frog now. He’s changed it. He didn’t like Fox.

someone hasnt seen NML
Nobody even knows what this is, zoomer
lmao the irony
zoom zoom
Norm Macdonald Live you absolute fricking moron
WWDM?
NML is more of a talk show than a podcast
sure, backpedal that way, zoomie
I think they just made up Paul 'Party Animal' Parker.
They struck gold with Richard 'Dicky' Anderson and tried to replicate it themselves.
I can pretty much remember all these stories and im chuckling like a moron at this image.
Karl should look into making an animated pilot or something in this exact style

that sounds like an amazing pairing

Probably my favourite monkey news ever

Actually, it's not better than Ten Minute Podcast. But it's pretty good, you're right there.
>Post-ironic meta-humor down to the name
no thanks
Won't miss ya, dough-goat.
maxresdefault is my favorite podcast too.
I think Impaulsive has surpassed this a long, long time ago, brother.
GOOD MYTHICAL MORNING IS G.O.A.T.
