It's the Luke and Pete show
it's Thursday
that means battery brands
that means boys, bums
and everything bells
Pete Donaldson
and Luke Merle with you
I hope you're keeping well
Luke's back from his
wee break
his wee absence
what did you bring back for me?
what did you get at
New York airport
or wherever you changed
I didn't go
I never ever
go to
LaGuardia
you got a LaGuardia
I got a Boston mate
Boston
Boston Logan
ah lovely
use your blinker
yeah I went to Boston Logan
I didn't bring anything
back for you
I don't think I did
did you bring anything
back for anyone
actually
actually
having said that
because I went to the garage this morning
to buy some engine coolant
and I picked up some Space Raiders.
Yeah, you ate a packet of them for breakfast
and they said you felt sick.
You will not learn your lesson.
Mine were knick-knacks.
Mine were nice and spicy knick-knacks.
Fine.
Well, actually, they're ribbon saucy.
Ribbon saucy, sorry.
And those who listen to this show regularly
will know that Pete Donaldson is regularly ill
because of his poor breakfast choices.
Sometimes it's a leftover Chinese.
Yes.
Sometimes it's massive bags of crisps.
Massive, massive bags of crisps. Massive it was.
The great LC, who we mentioned on Monday, he keeps bees.
Did you bring me a bee back?
One second.
Big bag of bees.
Oh, he's allergic to bees. He's allergic to bees.
Excuse me.
The bees.
No, he brought back some honey.
Oh, that's cool.
Do you want a little pot of honey?
I'll give you a pot.
I'm all right.
I mean, I don't eat a lot of honey.
I wouldn't want to waste it, that's all.
Larry would love you to have it.
All right, then.
I'll bring you a little pot.
I'll bring it in.
I'm back in on Friday.
Back in tomorrow, so I'll bring it in tomorrow.
I just got a whiff of bad smell from your direction.
Did you sneeze out of fart?
I think it might be the fact that I sneezed
and I also ate quite a lot of garlic last night.
Oh,
Lukey.
So when I know I've got to come into the studio,
I normally don't have it.
No,
I don't normally have it the night before,
but I've got some ribbon saucy,
mate.
That's what I thought when I saw you eat those.
I was like,
yes,
it's not just me.
Last night I got in a bit of a tizz because I didn't have anything for dinner.
So I managed to rustle up a spaghetti bolognese.
Yeah.
And I used a lot of garlic because we didn't have any for dinner. Right. So I managed to rustle up a spaghetti bolognese. Yeah. And I used a lot of garlic
because we didn't have any tomato puree.
Right.
And it's come back to bite me.
I did buy tuna on the way in.
So it was just white sauce.
Because I had tomatoes.
Yeah.
So what's tomato puree?
Does tomato puree have garlic in it?
No, it really ramps up the tomato flavour.
I didn't want it to be flavourless
because my wife will judge my poor cooking
because she's brilliant at cooking.
Yeah. Anyway, the point is I don't normally have garlic not before I because my wife will judge my poor cooking because she's brilliant at cooking.
Anyway, the point is I don't normally have garlic nut before I come into the studio.
I did last night.
I apologise for that.
I did get chewing gum on the way in.
I thought it would break it down.
It hasn't. Well, the difference between me and my partner is that she will cook like a pasta bake or something
or anything with potatoes and it'll be bloody lovely.
And I will spend hours trying to perfect
or just make a food
that tastes nice
and it is just flavourless.
Absolutely flavourless.
And I can't blame it
on COVID anymore
because it doesn't have it anymore.
So what do you think
you're doing wrong
when it comes to cooking?
Talk a bit through your process
and I might be able to help you.
I just don't season enough
as I'm cooking.
Yeah, season's massive.
Don't season enough
as I'm cooking
and I...
Your taste?
No, I never taste it.
I just sort of, yeah, I'm an idiot, really.
Like, I don't know why I don't do that.
I have a little spoon.
Seasoning can make a big difference.
Yeah.
I just sort of go, it's all right.
I'll add Tabasco cheese at the end,
and it'll be tasting the summer.
Yeah, that's fine.
That works for all Mexican food, in my experience.
Yeah.
Speaking of, one thing that's interesting,
and I said to you guys on Monday that I was away in the experience. Speaking of, one thing that's interesting, I know I said to you guys on Monday
that I was away in the US.
So the US are terrible
at Indian food, right?
Yes.
The curries are poor there.
But their worst Mexican
is better than our best Mexican.
It's better now, yeah.
Fucking Taco Bell
is better than our Mexican here.
Yeah, it is.
I don't know why Taco Bell
isn't everywhere in London.
There's a couple
in Russell Square area.
I find that odd as well.
Because it's a unique food.
You can't get it anywhere else.
Why have they not bothered?
Maybe the costs are too high.
What, for a bit of mince in a hard shell?
Oh, sell it to me.
I'll be in charge of the marketing.
Wait, Tabasco.
A bit of cheese.
A bit of Tabasco and cheese.
Speaking of fast food,
didn't you have a story to tell me about a chicken nugget?
Oh, yes.
You said to me you had a story to tell me about a chicken nugget? Oh, yes. You said to me you had a story
to tell me about
a chicken nugget.
Well, it turns out
that a little while ago,
a few weeks ago,
BTS,
you know,
the Bangtan Boys
or whatever,
the Korean pop group.
They're massive, right?
Massive.
If you're under the age of 20,
they're the biggest
pop group in the world.
Biggest pop group
in the world.
Although earlier on
when I mentioned BTS,
you said it's all
about Blackpink now.
Yeah, because they've got
a promo going on on PUBG at the moment. Oh, yes it's all about Blackpink now yeah because they've got a promo going
on on PUBG at the
moment
oh yes they have
Blackpink and
Son
that's how I know
about them
I literally never
heard of them
before that
yeah
I had a little
Google did you
well I feel like I
have to qualify it
because you mentioned
it
I don't want people
to think that I'm
just perving after
I had a little
Google did we
£100,000 slash dollar in this new story on the Rolling I don't want people to think that I'm just perving after... Add a little Google, did we?
A £100,000 slash dollar in this new story on the Rolling Stone.
Just say dollars.
People know what dollars are.
Chicken McNugget has triggered a child sex trafficking conspiracy theory.
Yeah.
It's fine to talk about child sex trafficking because in this particular sphere,
it's not actually happening because it's been dreamed up by QAnoners, effectively.
So I think we're fine to talk about that.
Do you know what I'm thinking?
Whenever this stuff happens, and it's about QAnon, I'm always thinking, just give me a load of products and an hour.
What do you mean?
I will sell everything to them.
They will believe anything.
I'll be rich.
Yes.
I would grab this coffee cup
and say that that's got some kind of magical power.
Yeah.
And I would say that I read about it on a forum.
Yeah.
And I would wear a nice suit,
probably wouldn't even need to.
Yeah.
I'd wave an American flag
and I would be rich.
That cup was made in a facility
that was joined onto a government facility
that actually had an anti-venom sort of thing.
It's not an inoculation per se, but it basically defeats COVID just by owning it.
And some of the fluid, some of the curing fluid from the cup manufacturing facility next door,
got on that cup.
And if you take that
you and your family
thanks to pheromones
will be protected
from COVID
slash the apocalypse
that wouldn't work
there's one thing
you've said that you
shouldn't have said
why?
they don't believe in COVID
fuck
that's why I'm not a
special hoodwinker
like Luke Moore
will deter
paedophiles
yes
yeah
paedophiles
it's like the jam thing where it's like they give paedophiles give off paedophiles it's like the jam thing
where it's like
they give
paedophiles give off
a certain pheromone
and they're
frightened of
the Luke Moore
cup from the
Luke and Peter
don't involve me in this
it's got Luke written
on the side
for crying out loud
anyway
yeah so
BTS
the K-pop
superstar group
they
in some kind of
partnership with
McDonald's
and they released a limited edition promo meal
that consisted of cork fries,
a sweet chilli and Cajun dipping sauce,
which they don't normally do,
and 10 chicken nuggets.
Chicken nuggets.
It sold out.
So people, knowing full well that the Bangtan Boys
were very popular online,
started selling the things on eBay, basically.
And all of these kind of stories got chucked around
by loads of news sources.
And then one person who, basically,
it's TikTok, I'm queuing on a crazy person.
She posted a video accusing all of these eBay sellers
selling these BTS chicken nuggets of basically human trafficking.
It's a leap.
It's such a big leap.
It's confusing.
I don't know where it comes from, but they made that leap.
And someone's selling a rare nugget for $14,000.
She thinks that that's fishy and it must be cored for child trafficking.
And the thing about that is
she is someone
who should be looked at.
Because if that's the first place
her mind is going,
it's like the QAnon thing.
I don't think,
I'm going to take this,
I'm going to say this
kind of under caution
because it needs to be seen contextually.
If it's just people on the internet
on a forum
talking about shit
right
who gives a shit
right
the point is
it isn't
we've seen
with the guy
that terrible thing
that happened down in Plymouth
we've seen how it
crosses over to real life
we've seen how it
ends up with the storming
of the capital building
because they believe
this stuff
not terrorists
yeah exactly
I feel pretty fucking
terrorised if I was
in that fucking place
and also Pete
the modern sorry the old traditional media
has got no way of dealing with this.
They don't possess the language or the experience or the skills
to deal with this.
No, because they just don't know what's online.
They just don't know.
They've got Facebook and they've got Twitter
and everything else might as well be absolute nonsense.
But with QAnon, for example, it's that classic example
of that phrase people say,
when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right?
Yeah.
You're so far down the rabbit hole you see it everywhere
and that's just the latest example of it
and if you're someone
who's projecting that
onto something like that
I mean it's fucking McDonald's
for goodness sake
you're the most corporate company
in the world probably
and you're projecting that instantly
that's where your mind goes
it's a sickness man
it's a sickness
It's unhelpful as well
for McDonald's
you would imagine
Yeah
I mean they're not going to be happy about it No I mean We did an ad promo for them wine goes it's a sickness man it's a sickness it's unhelpful as well for McDonald's you would imagine yeah
I mean they're not
going to be happy about it
no I mean
we did an ad promo
for them with the old
Big Spicy
the McSpicy
I bought one off the clock
I bought one off the dollar
I was like
I just bloody love this
this is how they get you
can I
that's a great story
can I give you
a tangential one
just to raise the
comedy a little bit
yeah okay
because I was thinking earlier how much child sex accused child sex trafficking is in this story give you a tangential one just to raise the um raise the comedy a little bit yeah okay um because
i was thinking earlier how much child sex accused child sex trafficking is in the story nothing to
do with that oh what nothing to do with that come here for but you know when i saw you this morning
i thought that your hair now you look a bit like a prosperity gospel preacher okay yeah you know
the prosperity gospel give me money yeah yeah yeah so one of the most famous um and certainly
the most mental prosperity gospel
preachers is a guy called Kenneth Copeland
yes okay
and when Covid came along he got right
on the case and started
shouting and screaming in his
$5,000 suit that everyone should send
him money for Covid and the rest of it
he's the one with that super church that didn't let anyone
in during the big chill, the big freeze
he's done some
awful, awful things, but
unwittingly,
he's also contributed to one of the best YouTube
videos I've seen for a while.
And it's his
preaching against COVID
set to heavy metal.
It works astonishingly
well. Listen to this.
In the name of Jesus.
Oh, thank you.
Standing in the office of the prophet of God.
I execute judgment on you.
Oh, lovely.
It's good, right?
That's fantastic, that.
That is fantastic.
How good is that? Share that on your social media. It's very, that. That is fantastic. How good is that?
Share that on your social medias.
Very, very good.
I mean, it brings something,
a bit of lightheartedness to something
that is objectively absolutely terrifying.
Yes.
How anyone can see that man and go,
well, he needs some of my money.
I would want to know where his face was going after this,
to be honest.
It's a bit like the end of Beetlejuice
where he pulls his face out.
He looks a bit like the MyPillow guy.
You know, the MyPillow guy, friend of Trump sort of thing.
He's gone off on one.
The fake tan, the confidence, the expensive stuff, the pillows.
What is it about the modern world that makes a man
who ostensibly is just a pillow manufacturer
one of the foremost
harbingers of the end
of democracy
I don't know
I just
yeah
because it sounds
quite podcast advert-y
doesn't it
my pillow
I'm surprised we
haven't hawked it
20 years ago
that's a South Park episode
tell me I'm wrong
yeah yeah yeah
no true
it probably is
it sounded like a
six year deal or something
South Park
what my pillow
it's just weird
it's just weird
because like
when you used to
for those who are old enough to know,
when you used to watch South Park back in the day,
you know, you'd have a smoke
or you'd go to the pub,
you'd come home,
it'd be on late on Channel 4
and you'd watch it
and you'd be like,
oh, that's funny.
All that stuff's now true.
Yeah.
If I said to you,
did you see what Al Gore was doing the other day?
He was running around
looking for a fictional animal
that he'd heard on the internet was real.
I mean, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch. just wouldn't the super skunk yeah there was also a brilliant
absolutely brilliant photo the other day that someone had posted online of they'd obviously
surreptitiously taken it and it was from donald trump's golf club all right it was the over 65s
medal match or something yeah and they had all the scores
Donald Trump
won
but he's a non-cheater
isn't he
massive Kim Jong Il
vibes
massive vibes
the sort of thing
that people would
piss out of Kim Jong Il
for
oh what a surprise
Donald Trump
who apparently
is the world's
shittest golfer
and he's been confirmed
to be cheating
against kids
and stuff
there's videos of him kicking the ball and stuff, isn't there?
They're widely available.
Amazing.
Yeah.
I think that's his worst thing he's done.
I think it is, too, to be honest.
Cheating at golf.
It's the thin end of a big wedge, I would say.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, Pete, what else is going on?
Well, I don't know, to be honest.
I mean, what have we got?
We've gone through the child sex trafficking McNugget situation.
Last week we talked a lot about ultra marathons
but one thing
actually didn't really
count as a
email
so much as
an experience
we need to be experiencing.
Jonathan
got in touch
and
we talked about KFC
the KFC hotel
with Mark
a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah that's right.
And we basically
spoke about how
well air disgusting
it looked
because you just get
grease everywhere.
It'd be horrible.
I think KFC get a bit
of a bad rap though.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
I think people hate on them a bit.
Oh no,
I eat KFC all the time.
Do you?
I'm a hot wings guy.
In your top three
British fast foods,
you're giving it a one.
KFC's the best, yeah.
For me,
it's McDonald's,
KFC,
then Burger King.
There's not enough
Burger Kings around
to be quite frank.
Mate,
I went to a Burger King
at a service station
a few weeks ago
it was fucking awful
hey you know what's good
they're vegetarian
meat
not there for that
I've got no problem
with vegetarian meat
but I'm not going to
a fast food restaurant
I'm not there for that
well on the recent
subject of themed hotels
and with a throwback
to past discussions
of situational beers
Jonathan passed over
the website,
Brewdog, the much maligned company,
let's not get into that now,
but they made a doghouse hotel in Manchester.
Like, you'd be naughty and you'd be throwing the doghouse
to the hotel room you're staying in.
Just loads of opportunities to drink full-strength beer.
So in the shower, there's a shower beer.
There's a little fridge where you can have
your shower beers
people listen to this show
love a shower beer
they do yeah yeah
and the thing that made me laugh
was on the website itself
brewdog.com forward slash
you know
Manchester Hotel
whatever
there's just loads of like
seemingly sort of
aspirational pictures
of this hotel
you know
nicely done out
and stuff
beautifully put together
that's the best it's ever
going to look like that's the best it's ever going to look like
that's the best it's going to look
because it'll be sick everywhere
but like
the sort of people
for bants would stay
in this sort of thing
but so they've got
like a little fridge
in the
in the shower
there's a woman there
in a
well first of all
there's going to be
no women there
no
no
and the place would smell
of farts
and it just made me laugh
that there's just two women
in there stocking feet,
in robes,
BrewDog sponsored robes,
and they're just having
full pints of beer.
In bed.
Where are the neckbeards?
Exactly.
That's not their thing.
Yeah, and the neckbeards,
so there's a dog that,
I don't know whether
they even allow dogs,
but there's like a little
sort of pump tap thing.
But this one made me laugh the most.
There's a woman,
good looking woman
in a tight kind of business way,
you would say.
And she's doing a spreadsheet.
It looks like it's during the day,
but she's got a big pint of lager
in her hotel room.
I don't think that's as aspirational
as you think.
I don't think that's like,
like, yeah.
I mean,
she just needs a big beer
to do a spreadsheet.
Change the tab on that screen in that picture,
and that goes from being a business scene
to the world's most depressing photo.
What do you mean?
On her computer in the photo.
Yes.
If that wasn't a spreadsheet, if that was just...
Someone's Facebook.
Reddit.
Reddit.
That's the world's most depressing promo photo.
Photoshuttle Ramble.
And when people say to me, when people say to me, what's the Luke's most depressing promo photo photo slash football ramble and when some when people say to me
when people say to me
what's the Luke and Pete show about
I often just say
it's not really about anything
you just get in the studio
just chat for a while
like Seinfeld mate
just as popular
not as many awards
I now
more and more
am starting to think
this is a podcast
that is chronicling
the end of the world
yeah
because if anything
everything's getting worse.
But we're like cheerleading it though, aren't we?
We're not disgusted by it.
We're not repulsed by it.
We're gazing right in the abyss and the abyss is looking right back at us and giving us
a wink.
Absolutely.
A bit of Nietzsche there, Pete.
Very nice.
I don't, I'm not saying it's a bad thing or a good thing.
I'm just saying that it's one of the weird paradoxes of modern life that every, so on
all the measures that, you measures that the World Health Organization
or whatever,
or the UN use
for quality of life in the world.
Generally speaking,
I'm not saying there's not pockets of poverty
and that people are in terrible situations.
Of course they are.
There's civil wars and all the rest of it.
But broadly speaking,
everything's getting better.
So life expectancy,
infant mortality rate,
disease,
everything's getting better.
Yet the human willingness
to believe that everything's getting worse
is so overpowering because of things like that.
What, a woman drinking?
Brew dog got a hotel.
You could tell me all you like
about infant mortality rates.
Who's doing the pillows?
Sub-Saharan Africa.
But on the other hand,
there's a fucking brew dog hotel
that no one asked for or needed.
Yeah.
So you tell me what's getting better.
Yeah.
I'm a beer 52, man.
Anyway.
I'm a McSpicy man. I'm a McSp, man. Anyway. I'm a McSpicy man.
I'm a McSpicy boy.
Have a break.
Let's have a break.
And we'll come back and we'll do,
I think our good friend Patrick,
listener Patrick,
has sent us a video about
when he went into an Amazon store.
Yes.
We've got to listen.
We've got to look at that.
So we'll do it after this break.
See you in a minute.
It's the Luke and Pete show Thursday edition part two
Patrick Loftus
has done us a solid
yeah
aforementioned
you feel free to
tweet us anything
anything amusing
that you are enjoying
yeah
just check over
I think
what Patrick's done
is he sent us a video
of him going to
that Amazon store
with no checkout people
and how weird it was
yeah
and I love that
because Patrick is
someone whose name
I recognise on the
old social medias
he listens to the show
we think of our listeners
as friends
it's just you and us here
you and me AP
it's just two of us
we're Bill Withers mate
we are just the two of us
but our listeners
are our friends
and we don't want you
to not get in touch
because you think
oh I haven't got anything
interesting or whatever
we'll be the judge of that
just send it in baby
send it in
but before we go to Patrick
I just want to do a couple
of quick things
around the battery brands.
We actually only had one.
So what's happening is now,
because we're doing it a lot more formally,
people are thinking,
oh, I've only got that one
and that's already been done.
We only had one make it through this week.
A lot of people sent them in,
but we only had one make it through.
Oh, can I get a call on last week's show
where I did a rechargeable battery?
Is that allowed?
It's allowed.
You don't see many of them these days.
Well, it's a rechargeable battery
with just, each one's got like's allowed. You don't see many of them these days. Well, it's a rechargeable battery with just,
each one's got like a USB.
You flip it open,
USB key,
bang,
right in the charger.
It unsettles me to hear it
because I've never seen one
and I couldn't really
picture it.
I was very excited
and that is going to
revolutionise how I
recharge batteries.
Forgetting that I don't
really ever recharge batteries.
No one does.
Unless you're in prison.
Put them on the radiator, mate.
Ben Trassler.
Hello to you, Ben. He sent him, Pete, some Burstow batteries. Bur one does. Unless you're in prison. Put them on the radiator, mate. Ben Trassler. Hello to you, Ben.
He sent him, Pete,
some Burstow batteries.
Burstow.
Now, I reckon that's a winner.
B-U-R-S-T-O.
I was convinced it was.
B-U-R-S-T-O.
Burstow.
What, did you do a search?
I haven't.
I want you to do it.
Okay.
I'm not logged into that.
There we go.
You fucking idiot.
You fucking idiot.
Right, there we go.
Burstow.
Yeah, because the into that there we go you fucking idiot right there we go Burstor yeah because
the
the
login
password is
borderline offensive
do you want me to check
I'm looking
Ben
Ben Trasler
yeah
is he the person
that got in touch
with that one
yeah okay well
Ben
it is a new
new president of the game
we don't get many these days
because we've been going
on for so long.
So well done to you, Ben.
Burstow.
I think it's kind of like,
it's harder to become a legendary player in football.
And Ben's kind of,
because there's just so much competition these days.
I agree.
I totally agree.
So three great examples of listeners
doing the right thing here.
Ben sending in a new battery brand.
Patrick went to the Amazon store.
Good on him.
Are we going to play a bit of that in a minute?
Here he is.
Before we do that,
very quickly,
Alex Coleman's also done us a solid.
He's doing God's work.
Sent in a picture of a Stingpunk store.
Said,
I bet Pete likes this shop.
Lol.
Photo of a load of goggles.
I'm here for it.
I hope there's no tells.
I'm going to steal all that stuff
and throw it into the gutter.
There's your fucking clocks.
You wouldn't know
because you wouldn't want to make a scene.
I wouldn't want to make a scene.
I'll go,
how much does that clock work out?
And do you know what the guy would say?
Well, it depends what era you're in.
I've just time travelled here.
At the weekend,
I went down to Leon C's
Getting Better By The Week
yard sale slash,
what do you call it?
Not bringing by sale.
This is the fucking garage sale.
Oh, car boot sale.
Car boot sale.
And I bought like a 1950s action man,
completely Billy Bollocks on a stand.
And I was like,
oh,
is that because he looked weird.
It looked like a sort of half gorilla,
half man sort of thing.
And I was like,
what the fuck is that?
I want that.
Anyway,
it's 20 pounds and I can't budge on that.
I was like,
all right,
look, you've clearly not met me, mate. I'm having it. He's 50. I'm having it And I was like, what the fuck is that? I want that. And he went, it's 20 pounds and I can't budge on that. I was like, all right, look,
you've clearly not met me,
mate.
I'm having it.
He's 50.
I'm having it.
He's like,
oh,
you're not taking him,
are you?
He's been with me
from the very beginning.
And he was going,
don't fucking sell it to me then.
You had the choice.
Did you pay for it?
I bought it.
I paid for it,
fucked off with it.
And he was like,
oh,
mate,
oh,
I'm going to miss him.
Did I make up once
that you bought a load
of wrestling figures
and you couldn't carry them all home,
so you buried them somewhere?
I put them in a hedge, yeah.
I've told that story a few times, no one believes me.
It's unbecoming for a 39-year-old man.
What's so good about the action man,
that you paid 20 quid for him?
Just brown and gorillery.
Just kind of like, he looked kind of like...
It sounds quite problematic.
No, it just looked like a half-man, half-gorilla sort of thing. Is it limited edition? No, it's just naked, sounds quite problematic no it's just kind of it just looked like a half man half gorilla
sort of thing
is it limited a dish
no it's just naked
and I just think
it's become like
kind of weather beaten
a little bit
and it just looks like
it's broken a bit
but that's not a reason
to pay more for it
it is
both those things
had a reason to pay less for it
it is
it was like a weird
sort of like
yeah
describe the man
who sold it
it was the exact
man that I had in my hands.
It was the exact
Did you definitely
buy the right man?
It was a one
to four ratio
of him.
He moves a lot more
than I thought.
And he's bigger.
He said
it's bendable
it's poseable
but I cannot
recommend enough
not bending it
because it might snap.
He didn't want to sell it
did he?
He didn't want to sell it.
He just really
didn't want me to touch it.
But he said, you'll probably get five quid for the stand.
It's a proper 1950s toy stand.
I was like, who am I going to sell that to?
I'm going to be back there in a few weeks' time
trying to sell it back on.
I think I'll speak on behalf of everyone listening here.
This is not a normal afternoon.
No.
What are you going to do with it?
But the thing is, I'd ordered some food around the corner.
And I was like, yeah, of course it's going to go in my part of the house, isn't it?
The garage?
The garage, yeah.
You ordered some food around the corner?
Yeah, and I was kind of waiting for that.
I was got 10 minutes and I was like, I could probably squeeze in.
I was there for half an hour in the old garage sales.
What a life.
What a life.
Patrick Loftus, we've given him a big build up.
Yeah.
He's gone to the Amazon store.
For those who don't remember, that's the new shop with no checkout.
It just monitors what you're doing.
He's currently sort of walking around the store.
You typically know when you've picked something up,
but it also figures out when you've put it back.
It's just cameras.
There's no kind of real...
American 7-Eleven here.
It's just like a 7-Eleven, he says.
Is that beer?
No.
Bit of the bubbly.
Bit of the bubbly.
Bit of the bubbly.
He's a bit conspiracy theory, him.
Not Patrick.
No.
Is Patrick allowed to be filming?
Is Patrick allowed to be filming?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
In the shop.
He's not filming anyone in particular.
He's just filming the shop.
But there's a part of the shop that has booze,
but it's all been locked up, so...
So there are barriers, Amazon.
Bezos.
That's Bezos' booze.
Yeah, so he's got a little bit of the bubbly in his hand.
And then he just walks out like it's a train station.
He walks out like it's nothing.
Flips the bird.
See you later, he says.
It would feel like you're nicking something
yeah
I'd feel so naughty
I'd have an erection
magically knows what I bought
magically knows what you bought
would you get aroused by that
yeah
it would feel proper naughty
a lot of the reason
I reckon a lot of the reason
teenage boys nick stuff
yeah
it's just for the thrill right
oh
to be naughty
I have found
that I have not
purchased something
that needed purchasing
at the checkout
of like Wix.
That was a very
Dick Cheney way of saying
you stole something.
I was crime adjacent.
Mine was the hand
that had the finger
which pulled the trigger
and fired the gun.
Exactly.
Yeah, no, it was
It was exciting
when you found that out.
It was just a roll of tape
and I didn't rise in the bottom.
It was underneath
a load of the stuff.
I was paying like
200 quid for tat. So, you know, they got their pound of flesh. But I got just a roll of tape and I didn't rise in the bottom. It was underneath a load of... I was paying like 200 quid for tat.
So, you know,
they got their pound of flesh.
But I got out and I was like,
I'm not going back to admit my crime.
One of my mates at school
got busted for stealing blank tapes
from Woolworths.
Too blocky.
Too big and blocky.
At one point once,
I'm not going to name her
because it wouldn't be fair.
We were doing shopping.
It's not the wife I currently have access to
and she had left
a lot of magazines
on the top rack of the trolley
and forgotten
and walked through
no one noticed
we got to the car
and it was like fuck
that's the only thing
I can think of
so I have been
I have genuinely been
crime adjacent
you were literally involved
I wasn't
you were part of the hustle
no
none of us knew it was a mistake.
It was an accident.
Anyway,
have we got time for an email?
Yeah,
stick it in me.
All right,
I'll do it for you.
What about here then?
Oh yeah,
so this is fascinating.
Let me find it.
So,
this is an email from,
let me find it.
Jesus,
I'm so slow today. This is an email from Pi,, I'm so slow today.
This is an email from Pi, right?
If this was me, you'd be going,
I do all the admin.
I'm the best.
And then you'd be doing this, doing the flexing.
It would start with you saying,
what's that thing you do where you type something?
Email.
Yeah, email.
And what's that guy...
Anyway, so...
I'm still good enough.
I get all my words.
I'm a bit of that.
This is an email from a man called Pi.
I don't think it's a real name.
He says,
Hi, Phil.
There's my tad slowing coming to the mosquito bite party.
But here we go.
We talked about mosquito bites a while back.
We have to catch up on our emails
because there's so many of them.
And we do thank you for it.
Pi says,
I left the UK 20 or so years ago.
Prior to that,
I enjoyed sitting outside with my friends many times.
The following day,
they would complain about
having been aggressively bitten
by mosquitoes.
Me?
Nothing.
Not a nibble.
Upon arrival in Australia
20 odd years ago,
that all changed.
Obviously,
my wonderfully rich English blood
is a rarer commodity over here.
I've been subjected
to the mosquito munch frenzy
on a regular basis.
The lowest point...
The lowest point of being physically
abused by Australian mosquitoes
was after a hot night sleeping with no
covers on. In the morning
it became clear that we had shared
the bedroom with a mosquito.
Because I had been bitten on both my scrotum
and my foreskin.
The following day at work I needed to take more
bathroom breaks due to the need to scratch the hell out of my
genital area.
Thanks for the pod.
Enjoy the chat.
All the best.
Pie exiled in Melbourne.
Pete, that would be terrible, wouldn't it?
I would not like that to be on my scrotum.
Out of all of the things I'd want on my scrotum,
that would be very much not be it.
What else wouldn't you like on there?
Marmite.
Your step, not stepdad,
your father-in-law's honey it would attract
it would attract
great honey
it's great honey
it's not for the testicles
the ants in Connecticut
are massive
yeah
absolutely fucking massive
I saw one
I saw one when I was there
the other day
crawling along the
arm of my
garden chair
and I was like
I was fucking shocked
what the fuck was that
oh dear well look if you have got you can fuck off with that and share. And I was like, I was fucking shocked. What the fuck was that?
Oh dear.
Well,
look,
if you have got... You just put it in the wrong order,
you dickhead,
trying to put me on.
Right,
we're leaving.
If you're doing that,
we're going.
That's it.
That's it for another week
of the Luke and Pete show.
Thank you very much for listening.
Enjoy my scrotum.
