Who is Man Moth, and why have I just had to listen to his cretinous thoughts for 5 minutes.

I’d rather be a blind moth

u/fasm13 Jan 31 '25

I was thinking, right. What if we cut him up? Then you could have one queue for his little man head, another for a wing.

2

u/Economy_Effort_863 Feb 01 '25

Or put him in a trolley and whizz him past everyone

u/-Caesar Jan 31 '25

Damn, what happened to the channel? I had just finished series 1 of the xfm recordings.

u/Arstulex cat paperweight Jan 31 '25 edited Jan 31 '25

Seasons 1 and 2 of XFM have been remastered and now exist on a Google drive. You can find it via one of the pinned threads.

They pretty much render Man Moth's uploads of those series obsolete because not only are they better quality but they have extra content included in them that was discovered after Man Moth's uploads.

If you can't find it just reply to me here and I will send the link to you once I'm off work.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MBLTvR007JgedwTCjoxS9gQZt6InHVhO

There's a lot of stuff in here, but what you're looking for is "TRGS - Remastered Episodes", then it's simply your choice whether you want the original music and ads kept intact or just the dialogue. Enjoy! Just be aware that the files are named by their original airing date, not by episode number.

Credit for remastering these episodes and cultivating/maintaining what can only be described as the Ultimate RSK Archive of course goes to u/Rhondson !!

u/Call_Me_Footsteps Jan 31 '25

Oh man, this is the first I've heard of this! Please share!

No problem! Just edited my previous comment with the link.

This is bonus material innit?

u/Ashes889 Jan 31 '25

Can you send me the link whenever you get a chance . Thanks

u/911whatsyourproblem Feb 03 '25

Any difference in the google drives ones and the ones I listen to on Spotify? Except the music and the adds ofc. I always thought about that I wanted to listen to the adds and music they were playing too, what’s the easiest way to listen to this on the phone?

1

u/Arstulex cat paperweight Feb 04 '25

If you listen to the Pilky01 uploads on Spotify then those are already the exact same version. Once Rhondson has finished remastering seasons 3 and 4 they will likely be updated by Pilky01 on Spotify too.

Easiest way to listen on your phone? Just download them I guess. As for what apps to use to play them back I'm not of much help there. I just listen to them on PC while I'm working.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6FT1LASxWMxLZSk8T2OSLK?si=yu_cxszYQHqgC8zNj97Zfg&pi=c2VF4l-aR2GJs I listen to this compilation

1

u/Arstulex cat paperweight Feb 04 '25

Those would be the uploads by u/RSKXFM I believe. I'm not super familiar with his versions content-wise (if they include all of the discovered content), but I know his uploads are also remastered by himself independently.

If he sees this he will hopefully shed some light.

2

u/911whatsyourproblem Feb 04 '25

Wow thanks alot Man, you know your shit!

1

u/Arstulex cat paperweight Feb 05 '25

Looks like I got it wrong as I was confused by the UI on mobile. After opening it on desktop I can see that those are actually Pilky01's uploads, which is from the Rhondson remasters. You're listening to the same versions from that google drive :)

1

u/911whatsyourproblem Feb 06 '25

Thanks a lot man! Appreciate it

1

u/RSKXFM Feb 05 '25

That link isn't for my content. Looks like a playlist with the RSK XFM uploads. Not mine.

1

u/Arstulex cat paperweight Feb 05 '25

My apologies. I opened that link on mobile, saw the tag "RSK XFM" on the uploads and assumed they must have been yours. I don't use Spotify so I'm not super familiar with the UI.

After opening on desktop I can see they are indeed Pilky01 uploads. My bad.

Thankyou for coming to celebrate the life of Man Moth Who died at quarter to eleven And was a bog standard old YouTuber We burnin' or buryin'?

Sniff

2

u/MathieuRivero Jan 31 '25

If Man Moth has died,

Will he be happier?

How does he know the channels dead?

Copyrighters hunting for cash,

But not before they style the hair on their head.

What would last longer in dinosaur times?

A man moth didn’t stand a chance,

Not with all those rocks about.

I’d rather be Man Moth

2

u/SnaggleCrimp Feb 01 '25

Me and the hubby were literally just discussing what would happen if all of the shows got taken down a few days ago; would I be prepared to pay for official copies?

Just saying.

Weird, innit?

Makes you think.
