Oh, it's the Luke and Pete Shaw. Welcome to it. Cut yourself off a slice, take a pew. Drink the blood of human kindness. The Luke and Pete Shaw blood of human kindness. Is it blood? It's not even milk, is it? It's a lovely sentence.

Is it blood, isn't it? Is there ever a good way to say, is there blood? There's never a good way to say, is it blood isn't it is there ever is there ever a good way to say it is there blood like is there there's never a good way to say it is there blood is there

not from you I think if people see you saying that I feel like it feels a lot more sinister if it was me saying it I'd like to think people would think I'm just concerned

I'm thinking the best way between two of us saying is this blood would be you pointing at a bit of black pudding and going, is this blood? Yes, it is. It's a food and it'd be fine.

How do you feel about black pudding? I think it's delicious. I think it's one of the best things in the world. I had some black pudding last year in a... God, that must have been good. Honestly, I had some black pudding last year in a restaurant that I genuinely think was transcendental I've never tasted blood sausage

like it and it was just the best thing ever and Well name check the restaurant mate, give them their props. I can't remember, it was in Mayfair somewhere, I was doing a Lebron Japan Who do you think you are Donaldson? I was doing a Lebron Japan, sure It's a cost of living crisis and people are talking about quaffing and slurping

huge amounts of absolutely decadent blood sausage at Mayfair. You're the problem. You're the reason this all happened. Do you know that blood sausage slash your black pudding, because the French eat it quite raw,

don't they? Because they're really kinky guys. But blood sausage is cooked. Black pudding is cooked like um black pudding is cooked yeah so you can just chomp it from the fridge but it's just a bad luck i think i don't think you want to be doing that why it's cool because as we have this conversation all the time and i have to keep saying this to you there's loads of things you technically can do doesn't mean you have to do them yeah um chicken sashimi um in in japan is pretty it's pretty

extreme yeah i mean even i would be like you know what that's a holiday ruiner that is Yeah, chicken sashimi in Japan is pretty extreme. Yeah, I mean, even I would be like, you know what? That's a holiday ruiner. That is a chicken sashimi holiday ruiner. One of our listeners got in touch saying they're in China and they had chicken sashimi, right? And that's a great example because, yes, you can do that, but no one can honestly tell me that raw chicken tastes better,

however well it's prepared, than cooked chicken. I don't know. I think it would be just too slimy. There's a freshness to it. I get sushi and sashimi and stuff like that. There's a freshness to it. It's a different ingredient. It should be treated differently.

The idea of like, I mean, no one thinks chicken should be eaten raw. No one thinks that. And that's before you get into the Salmonella conversation. Speaking of raw meat, those horses that were running through the street last week. Yeah. That were startled by some builders. I saw like a little post on X, good stuff on X. Yeah, there's some great stuff on there.

on the X, good stuff on X. Yeah, there's some great stuff on there. There's, where a woman was saying, God, Londoners are so stupid,

or thick, or, you know, they're very city dwelling people. Like, it would have been very easy to just grab one of their bridles, grab one of the ropes.

Are you insane? And I'm like, and I've been thinking about this. I was walking down the street today, and I was like, I fancy my chances. I don't think you should be approaching a horse.

I fancy my chances of just grabbing those reins and using my voiceover voice to calm down the beast. I reckon I could have had a go at the one that was bleeding profusely from the neck. Goodness me. Goodness me. Goodness, please stop. Let's have a front of manger

So do you remember that Do you remember I'll get you some eggs And spinach For in a pot Taking a Taking a bleeding heart They probably wouldn't

Presumably they wouldn't The overnight oats No Would you like the mango With a little bit of lime in it Yes you would Hot shot Yes

Do you remember I've got a hot shot in my bag I didn't drink Yes Come on A hot chocolate A hot shot Oh a hot shot nice that is nice

i think it's a nice little leveler isn't it a nice little leveling test to yeah approach and calm down a horse i remember um do you remember that bear grills series my friend a friend of mine's obsessed with bear grills always do impressions of him just thinks he's a fascinating character which he is i guess but do you remember that series he did he was really big I think it was on channel 4 and then it got outed

that he was like sleeping in hotels and stuff and people just didn't really understand how TV was made so they were like fuming

yeah yeah they were like I can't believe yeah you realise that the crew the crew Bagels is going

through this thing but the crew have to stay somewhere and why put them through this he's also talking very much about a survival at all

costs situation. I'm not sure he's going to be best placed to make a compelling TV programme after two weeks of eating fucking camel dung and drinking fetid water from a fucking pond. It's all about the hydration. Gotta stay hydrated. Bear.

It's actually quite easy to get an impression of. Bear. I'm in the wilderness and I'm bear. I'm by a babbling brook. One false move and I could be carried metres down this brook. He wouldn't say brook twice. Anyway. Okay.

That's why I'm not Bear Grylls. No, exactly. In that series, I'd love to see him take you under his wing and you could be Cub Grylls. Bear, help. I'm drowning again. we're not even near any water i fell in a puddle bear we're at the world for cap services i got lost in the mobile phone cover shop

bear bear i've lost all my money again in the gamblies i've burnt myself i've burnt myself on this uh on this cost of coffee um anyway so he's doing this series and he got out here that he was doing i don't know what it was probably it was probably something and nothing but anyway yeah one of the episodes and it was really good one of the episodes was that they dropped him in the middle of nowhere obviously yeah and he said right this is the situation i'm in i'm too far away to get anywhere on foot yeah there are wild horses in the area i need to tame one and ride it to safety do you get the feeling that these obviously these things are planted for him he's just making it up right that's not even a thing he's just making those things up yeah yeah okay fine. But my point was,

assuming the TV program was legit and it might not have been, he did it. And he was doing it almost exactly the same way that you have to do it as Link in Zelda's Ocarina of Time. Or it might even be Breath of the Wild. Creeping up on the horse,

petting it, whispering in its ear, double tapping Y to calm it down. Is that what you do? I've not got to the point in Breath of the Wild where you actually tame a horse

and you jump on the horse and you can tame it. And after a while of riding it, it starts to become more agreeable. And then eventually you can name it and put it in a stable.

Oh, yes. So Bear didn't do that bit. Bear didn't do that bit. But he did ride it and put it in a stable oh yes so bear didn't do that bit but he did he did ride it but but here's the conundrum he was facing from what i remember you can't startle the horse right no if you approach the horse head on don't shake the baby don't startle the horse exactly it's gonna see you and it's gonna bolt right and it's the only animals we well know that bolts a horse. Is it really? No one ever says bolt about anything else.

Oh, giraffe. Giraffe would bolt, wouldn't it? The giraffe bolted. Yeah, maybe. Sneaked up behind. Anyway, but obviously it's a difficult, delicate situation because as anyone who's ever been in a field knows, you can't really approach a horse from behind

because it might kick your head off so you have to be very very careful um i think he did it sort of from behind but on the side like over the shoulder and he had like developed this kind of it kind of whittled this um this kind of harness thing out of twine and he put it over the horse's head and over his neck right and they wrote it he wrote it for a bit he wrote it over the horse's head and over his neck right and he rode it he rode it for a bit he rode it for a bit

yeah you can imagine with post-production though going right okay yeah and then just cut just before it throws me off and it'll look like

I've been riding it forever bear wow and that's why now these days he's known as horse grills horse grills yeah

which sounds like a restaurant he should be moving up to having a bear then, surely. Get Whisper Sweet Nothings into it, see ya. Tell it all about the honey that he's got back at his ranch. He's given up on all this stuff now,

hasn't he? He just doesn't do that stuff anymore. What does he get up to then? In his dotage, he's now a, isn't he now a chief scout? No, you're thinking of the other one. You're thinking of Ray Mears. Ray Mears. No, Bear Grylls a chief scout? No, you're thinking of the other one.

You're thinking of... Ray Mears. Ray Mears. No, Bear Grylls is chief scout. I thought Ray Mears was chief scout. He's more of a scouty man, isn't he? He's always wearing shorts with his ruddy cheeks. He feels more like a scout than Bear Grylls.

Apparently, since 1972, there's only been six chief scouts of the United Kingdom and overseas territories and none of them are Ray Mears and Bear Grylls has been doing it

since 2009 oh interesting right yeah oh well I know who to complain for for my molesting that time oh

it's legitimate that was underneath that was underneath the do not belittle my pen no I won't that was that was under the under B not belittle my pain. No, I won't. That was under Baden Powell's scouts.

The vicar came in and touched my body. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, do you want to go into that or do you just want to leave that there? I've told that story so many times on the show. Vicar came in to the Cubs and made me sit on his knee and he pointed out where the lungs were, but he insisted on taking my top off and touching my body

which is he didn't go south of the equator fine but he just didn't he did not need to be caressing my nip nips if you feel

if you felt uncomfortable then it was absolutely unacceptable yeah I didn't feel uncomfortable then I don't feel comfortable now really

how do you rank it alongside the Barrymore incident? Well, Barrymore, you should do a simple business proposition. Come to my house, I'll get you a sex worker and I'll get you the best brass in Essex, he said. Yeah. I don't think he should be. I mean, it's a different type of woman.

That's why I moved here. I'm trying to find what that means. Trying to find Barrymore's house. Yeah. Barrymore, you promised me. Endless quick quiz. Barrymore, you promised me sex. Is it like the Mysterious Cities of Gold, but it's Barrymore's house?

You'll fly this giant golden condor with Barrymore's face on the dashboard. Yeah. Oh, dear. I mean, this is one of those things, isn't it? You've got to laugh, mate, or you'll cry. Yeah. Good point.

I would love to see you do a show with Bear. Um, I think it would be good. I think it's annoying to me that Bear's given up on doing the TV shows now because I can't imagine he, he's not someone who wouldn't get commissioned for a TV show. He definitely would. he could, yeah.

Maybe he's just given up. He doesn't like, he doesn't like it anymore. He spent too many, too many nights underneath the stars and he's just, he's just had enough. I would say that like he, we spoke about this before where in a zombie apocalypse, I would be dead within days because of my asthma issues.

He would have to secure an asthma pump or some kind of nettles that would alleviate my chest allergies. So would you really be like very badly would you be in real bad trouble if that was the situation? I mean I've never let it get that bad but I imagine I would have to have a much more sedentary is that a word? sedentary

am I saying that right? sedentary yeah yeah sedentary lifestyle I think because after I can probably go about four days without my

preventatives um before it starts getting really quite difficult to breathe yeah it's it's it's not ideal um so we're leaving you behind then pretty much yeah i'd be consumed by a wild horse from days in i think i used to do voiceovers for Naked and Afraid XL. What's the XL part of that? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But I presume it's a show.

I've never watched it, but I think you start Billy Bollocks, don't you? Yeah. And then you've got to build shelters and survive and stuff. I mean, I will say, like, I guess it's probably all done with AI now, but, like, back in the day, if you were a good mosaic artist on these shows,

like you could work anywhere, couldn't you? You could mosaic for anyone. Send us the rushes. I'll blur out the balls and fanny. So, yeah. Yeah, that would be a good job if you were specifically doing that. Japanese pornography, obviously, as well. Yeah, I was watching.

Right, so yesterday I was watching there was on right so yesterday I was recording an episode of Ramble Reacts late right and so and I was waiting for

as I've said to you earlier there's a couple of technical things I had to wait around for it to start so I was sitting and I turned the telly on and the telly was on

5 star which is a channel I've quite literally never watched before because I wonder what the budget is for Five Star, because it's five, Channel 5's

digital-only service. Yeah, it's Channel 5, right, and get this, but worse. Which is a remarkable proposition. Do Channel 5 still do that show where everyone dances and sings? I can honestly tell you, I've said this to you before, and this is

gonna make me sound like the world's worst snob but i mean it's just the truth so judge me as you see fit everyone but if itv and their associated um sub programs and channels and channel five was removed from my tv the first time i would notice would be when there's an england game and i can't watch it so it could be months. I never, ever, ever watch those channels. It's always right. It's always... Remember they did that... Channel 5 did that documentary about that deep sea submersible that imploded.

If it's a documentary... So I am the key demographic for documentaries. You know how tediously boring I am about stuff. If it's Channel 5, I simply won't watch it. Yeah. But they were doing the documentary while they were still under the... you know how tediously boring I am about stuff. If it's Channel 5, I simply won't watch it. Yeah, but they were doing the documentary while they were still under the, well, while they were still assumed to be still alive, which is an incredible turnaround.

The journalistic standards aren't good enough. Like, it's nowhere near good enough. It's just YouTube editing, isn't it, really? Basically, and if you're watching the documentary about a subject you don't know much about and you can flick open the Wikipedia while you're watching and go, well, that's not true, then it's pointless. But anyway, so I flick five. I think what happened was my son had been playing with the remote, which he's always

grabbing the remote. Kids love remotes. They do. They do. So I turn the telly on, and it was on that channel. I was like, okay, fine. And it was on ad break. And I pressed the info, and it was like, I can't remember the exact name of it, but it

was something like, say again? Ritchie Diaries was like, I can't remember the exact name of it, but it was something like, it was something like, say again? Ritchie Diaries. No, it wasn't. Well, you say that. That was the launch product. It was Tim Vine, I think, doing the launch

and, or maybe Paul Tonkinson, I think. Oh, two blokes who will do, respectfully, will do absolutely everything. They'll do anything. And the Spice Girls, I think, were involved, weren't they?

Because there was five of them. Yeah, that's right, the launch, yeah. Yeah, the launch. So Paul Tomkinson did the launch of Channel 5? I think he was like, it was Paul Tomkinson and Tim Vine, I think, both did like inserts for the launch of the station. I think, I think that's the case. I used to work with Tomonks a little bit.

Yeah, he's a really, really lovely guy. I worked with him before as well. But he would do anything. Anyway, so let me get to the point of the story. So would I. What's On is a documentary about British people trying to make it in the porn industry, right? Right.

So following a couple of guys and a couple of girls trying to make it in the porn industry. With those voices. So following a couple of guys and a couple of girls trying to make it in the porn industry. With those voices though. I know. I'll out. But the thing is, Pete, I couldn't believe how much explicit stuff

they were showing on this TV show. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. I thought, and I might be wrong here and you might know more about this than me. Point where on the model?

All that. All that? You didn't see that come on all that silly you didn't see all that i'm telling you i did that's not being silly come on i didn't think i didn't think you were allowed on the off-com we're also showing a wrecked penis on the telly i think i think those uh surely off-com must be like come on they just wrapped their hand in because of gb news they can't be asked anymore just don't do whatever you want yeah can't be asked um yeah you you think that um i thought that was a i remember back in the day there was this they'd done like a heat sensitive camera as a penis goes right um and it's like a red like bright like where the blood is and where the hottest part is it's bright red red, like bright, where the blood is and where the hottest part is, it's bright red. So I remember seeing that on the television.

Yeah, but that must have been the 90s. No one cares about heat cameras now. That was very much, I thought it was Predator. I thought I'd switched over to Predator. It was, yeah, that's all I remember, sort of. Was there like a season of quite graphic films, though? Because there was a bit of a trend for quite sexually

explicit cinema. What was the one that Willem Dafoe was in? Antichrist. Did that ever have a television network? Lars von Trier, isn't it? So I think it's actually a really interesting conversational topic because as far as I'm aware, they

tend to make rulings about what you can and can't do based on the expectations of the audience so it's actually quite a snobby thing to do it's actually very old-fashioned what they'll say is if we're gonna have this explicit scene shown or this language or whatever it may be and it's on bbc2 at 11 30 pm yeah the expectation is the audience are educated enough to process it and not going to be offended by it and there's not going to be children watching it it's fine yeah but if you whack it on itv at eight there's gonna be kids awake they're basically saying people who watch itv are much more likely to be offended because they're simple yeah i don't

know that's still the rules but that's what they used to be like radio radio for the blanket you could say whatever you like on exactly if you could justify it but um every other station was it wasn't but the off so i was i was surprised at seeing that and then what i would say is that so i've got a friend who works um quite a senior experienced producer in boxing yeah both tv and radio and i always asked him about the idea that you know i think i said this to you before that like you can watch two people banging the shit out of each other blood everywhere broken noses i mean you could legally it's the only place you can legally kill someone right and it could be televised that literally could happen right yeah um and um yeah if if one of the corner men or one

of the seconds swears in between rounds they have to apologize right and he said to me it's like if if we don't apologize for that off-camera all over us like a fucking rash yeah like they will they will they will warn us they'll caution us all this kind of stuff yeah and i found that fascinating chiefly because of the juxtaposition i've just described there but also because i have literally seen on gb news one tory mp being interviewed by another tory mp on a channel that's called news talking about a load of weird conspiratorial right-wing talking points and nothing is done no yeah and and i'm always surprised about the hierarchy of swearing um the c c word um c1 used to be a big no-no it was a big no-no but it's not top of the tree

motherfucker is top of the tree is that surprising? Yeah mad isn't it? You'd think the C word would be harsher on the ears than motherfucker yeah anyway to take this all the way back to the start I just wanted to make it clear that during the show Man vs Wild which Bear Grylls hosted

and all that stuff which was good I think apparently it stopped stopped a number of years ago now. But I'm just going to give you a quick list of the things. For those of you who didn't watch Bear Grylls, Man vs. Wild, or didn't have access to it, this is an example. Did he take Danny Trejo out into the jungle and he got terribly burned? And he's like in his 70s.

Yeah, he's also had a tough life, Danny Trejo. He spent a lot of his early years in Mexican prisons, didn't he? Yeah, yeah. So he's like in his 70s yeah he's also had a tough life Danny Trey he spent a lot of his early years in Mexican prisons didn't he yeah so he's probably had worse anyway Bear Grylls did

the following things he climbed cliffs parachuted from helicopters balloons and planes paraglided ice climbed and ran through a forest fire

and waded through rapids fair enough that seems pretty standard Ezra gets a bit weird and I think half of this stuff he doesn't need to be doing. I don't even think half of this stuff is actually legit. Right? And you can judge it yourself.

Eating snakes. Okay, fair enough. Some people eat snakes. Right. This is where it gets weird. Right. I think this is fetishistic, this stuff. Right?

Yeah. Wrapping a urine-soaked T-shirt around his head. Right, yeah. Drinking urine from a rattlesnake skin. That's kinky. Yeah, it just seems like you've got a hose that you could squirt in your own mouth, mate. Like, you don't need to be pissing about with cops.

What is this? Yeah. What is this, an ambassador's reception, Ben? Drinking fecal liquid from elephant dung. Eating deer droppings. Why are you doing that? Why are you doing that, mate? Why are you doing that? bear. Drinking fecal liquid from elephant dung. Eating deer droppings. Why are you doing that? Why are you doing that, mate? Field dressing a camel carcass

and drinking water from it and using the corpse of a sheep as a sleeping bag. Yeah. I think in the call harsh light of day, if you took away all of the muddy need jungle exploration, it just sounds like he wants to fuck about with animals yeah that's what i think he just seems to be a bit kinky about the

old animals and the final scene of the final episode was basically just him sleeping in his corpse sheep sleeping bag with a piss stained t-shirt around his head, just absolutely destroying 48 Ferrero Rochers. Reading a copy of Razzle. The ambassador has treated me very well in this wilderness. I'm bare. What's in that? Ferrero Rocher.

Unwrap that Ferrero Rocher right now, and if I find a testicle in there, I'm going to be fuming. Why have you made a big pyramid out of bull's testicles? Like that woman, that girl who always pranks her dad by wrapping Brussels sprouts in chocolate and putting the Ferrero Rocher

wrapper around it and waiting for the explosion. Just so you know, just to wrap up on Bear before we go to a break, his full name do you know his full name? I smell a joke. His full name is Bearero Roche. Let's go to a break because my cat's coming and he won't stop meowing.

Meow. Meow. Do you like them ads? It's Pete Donaldson and Luke Moore on the Luke and Pete Show. Now, every single Thursday, we do battery brands. If you found an interesting battery in your uh remote control or whatever you've got check it out where we want to hear from you um i found a very boring battery in my um toyota centuries uh remote control what does your car not have a remote control

i was astonished when i saw that why does it need a remote control because it was made in the year 2000 and it used to have a vhs player in the back what do all the buttons do they know it's a japanese it's very confusing it's very confusing i I don't know, it's just very confusing. It's very confusing. I'm trying to get it up and running. Excuse me! Oh! Now, people have been in touch. People have found batteries in their

consumer electronica and they've chucked it mine and yours ways on the looking pitch. There's been some beautiful photographs taken of these batteries this week. I have to celebrate and congratulate Unki Ben for getting in touch. Just kicking off my annual trip to Japan, visiting the in-laws. As usual, I'm trying to lend a hand around my father-in-law's place

while we stay with him. Last night, they went to turn on the air conditioner in our room, but the remote control wouldn't work. Dead batteries, no big deal. So Japan's a real kind of hotbed for interesting batteries, I think it's fair to say. There's a lot of disposable electronics. There's a lot of remote controls out there.

Yeah, I agree. And obviously their proximity to China is really helpful as well for interesting brands. So Unki Ben got some replacement batteries, popped over to the nearby convenience store, the Konbini, and grabbed some replacements. When I popped open the remote to make the swap, I found this AAA beauty inside,

a Herb Relax. Herb Relax. I think this might be the best battery we've seen. Well, it's like Herb, like if you've got a battery that says Herb Relax and the font is green and it's got a leaf motif on it, you do sort of go,

that sounds like the leaf might be a Marijuana, but it's not. It's got a leaf motif on it uh you do sort of go that sounds like the leaf might be a marijuana but it's not it's like a kind of uh what kind of leaf would you call that it's only a clover it's a clover isn't it is it a clover does that make you relax because you're lucky i don't know i don't think it's i don't think it's wacky backy yeah well with all the weird legalization happening in the states it says unky ben you'd think these came from there but no here they are in japan i'd heard that using a mirror uh in the States, says Unki Ben. You'd think these came from there, but no, here they are in Japan. I'd heard that using a mirror in the picture was helpful, so I borrowed the wife of access to his hand mirror to take the photo.

Hopefully she doesn't mind. I'm sure she won't, Unki Ben. Love the show. Herb, relax. Feels like a new player. It's a brand new player. Of course it is. What a sensational battery to witness. Herb, relax. Do you reckon they've got to the point now, some of them, where they're just getting random English words and sticking them on?

It certainly is a real vogue for that sort of Japanglish kind of vibe. There's just a lot of fun T-shirts out there that just have absolutely nonsensical statements on them. This is always fun. Always fun. Congratulations on Key, Ben, and thank you for the fantastic photography of said battery. Patrick from Belfast

has got in touch. Evening, Luke and Pete, a long-time listener, second-time emailer, I think. I'm a big fan of the I'm a big fan of the stat catalogue

and I've been following Pete's journey with the Toyota Century with interest. I might, maybe, have encouraged him a little bit, but only because I was

living vicariously through him because having recently bought a grown-up car there was absolutely no way absolutely no way i was going to get away with buying a toyota century imagine my glee at even getting a name check on the brunch of my podcast after sending pete an advertisement for a former japanese driving school car i remember that car it's a bit there's a place in middlesbrough that imports like mad japanese cars and one of them was like a proper driving school with the logo on the side of it um old japanese uh driving school car uh but the only problem was it was manual but it's a lovely bit of work thank you very much uh for for letting me know about that

patrick um yes uh i uh i am um a lucan peach show um listener and uh on a more recent lucan peach show related matter, my four-year-old recently came running to the kitchen needing a torch urgently to look for some lost Barbie shoes. Cue the dad cupboard of tat, two small LED torches and six AAA batteries later, and I stumbled upon these odd little numbers. I present for your deliberation,

HJSL AAA batteries by the Ninghai Hengzhu Battery Company. So I guess it's just HJSL AAA, isn't it, I suppose? Brilliantly named, though. What a really regal name for a set of AAAs. I guess it's Hengzhu. Hengzhu is probably the HJSL. That's where that comes from. Yeah. Fourth

person to send those in, though. Oh, what a shame, Patrick. I'm afraid. Thank you. Trying to make me buy a car as well. Good. Yeah, I mean, 20th of October 2022, they were first sent in, so you're a bit slow on the uptake there, Patrick. I'm afraid. Thank you for trying to make me buy a car as well. Good. Yeah, I mean, 20th of October 2022, the photo was first sent in, so you're a bit slow on the uptake there, Patrick, I'm afraid, but thank you for getting in touch anyway. Yeah. The company seems to also do quite a lot of motorcycle chains,

the Hengju Corporation. They're on LinkedIn. I might add them as a friend. What a business. Very specific chain. Very specific chain. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, um oh this is a

oh it's a it's some kind of torch uh joel uh battery submission and flight simulation answers ahoy gents long time listener first time email of the pod is the official soundtrack to many and most of my car rides in our household the missus reminded me that i had an ancient unsent battery photos here we go. Warriors. It came with a cheap kitchen scale, which has been a happy hunting ground for many a battery daddy botherer. Warriors, all in a rather,

kind of, almost like Times, like a stretched Times New Roman font. I would say an apologetic lowercase font. All in lowercase as well. Atrocious graphic design. And we've been guilty of that on more than one occasions ourselves

but this is the low point it looks like you know Chris the Simpsons artist does his writing it's basically that

should we get to that first and then we'll pilot these are not new players they've been sitting many many times

before but it is nice to see them a personal favourite of mine lovely gold colour, very apologetic font, which I think people just, oh, what are we going to call it? I'll just fucking call it anything.

But not a new player. They've been sent in, like I say, many, many times, dating all the way back to, I think, 2019. Yeah. Oh, wild. Okay. Well, thank you, Joel, from Fairfax, you've been in the US of A.

A few weeks ago, says Joel, to follow it up, Luke was wondering what a flight simulation folks do when they are doing a long flight as pete suggested many do in fact speed it up or use a feature to skip to arrival and approach uh for the landing and take off um and but for those flying on a virtual atc platform there are rules that allow for temporary disconnection so you don't have to stay on the whole time. But there are actually dedicated cross the pond events where people actually do it in real time. Some people do really love it that much. So that's an answer really.

I mean, would you kind of, if you were doing like a solid like nine hour flight to, I don't know. I just don't see what you're getting out of it. London to Atlanta and you're sort of saying, right, I need to, do you prepare a little packed lunch to eat while you're flying or can you can you so let me ask another question so if i'm doing

it and is there a chance that say say i'm doing london to atlanta which i think is probably about nine hours right is is there a chance that say four hours in i get an alert saying oh unexpected weather i need to divert and that's that i have to divert or do something and so something can actually happen yeah i would i would say that um presumably all of the weather's being worked out in hand but i know what you mean you think i was sort of thinking would there be a situation where something goes wrong you lose your i don't know your lights you lose it you lose an engine is there anything you know your is it pitchery tubes pitchery tubes

the ones that sometimes freeze yeah the ones on the outside that monitor stuff yeah that's had a big problem in the past hasn't it

I can't remember but it's cool but there's something like that yeah is there a situation where it suddenly goes wrong

and you have to kind of manage that well they must have built some randomness into the program you've got puller fuse well Well, I imagine that's kind of, it's a little bit like, remember

SimCity? You could have these kind of tornadoes or earthquakes and stuff, but you could turn them off. Like, you didn't need to have Godzilla arriving and kicking off in your life. Force Majeure or whatever it is. Force Majeures, yeah. We used to have to do, I used to do Force Majeure chat all the time because

I had a job, one of my many jobs, working in customer service for like a yacht charter company. Right, oh. And so they would, people would like pay loads of money for these holidays where they would fly to like Antigua,

hire a yacht and they'd sell the yacht for a while. Sometimes the yacht would be capped in, sometimes they'd be sailors themselves so they wouldn't have to and then like they'd fly to like the Caribbean and then there'd be a fucking hurricane. Yeah. And they'd be like, oh, I have money back. And we'd be like, well, you can't have your money back then they'd fly to the Caribbean and there'd be a fucking hurricane.

Yeah. And they'd be like, oh, I've got money back. And we'd be like, well, you can't have your money back. It's a force majeure. Force majeure, yeah. Bonjour.

None of us can predict the weather. What does majeure mean? A major force? Yeah, I don't know really. I guess so. Act of God. Act of God, maybe. Major force. Oh, well.

Major force. It sounds almost like a very like camp but very stern army figure in some kind of carry on film

oh 90s wrestler all oh yeah by the way because of you yesterday I went

on a massive deep dive on Sergeant Slaughter speaking of that interesting chap stolen valour never really never really

served full of shit yeah also some of the stuff that like the WWF got him to do back in the day is genuinely very problematic. Around the Gulf War, I think he turned heel and joined with Saddam at one point, I think. And also, his real name is Robert Rudolph Remus, which is fucking amazing. Rudolph Remus.

I mean, that's a strong name anyway, isn't it, I suppose? He did a whole year as an Iraqi sympathiser to the point where apparently he said that he couldn't leave, he didn't feel like he could leave the house without a bulletproof vest on. To be fair, he... Is he a big bullshitter, is he? Well, no, no, to be fair, like that was a, let's just say a hot angle. Because obviously America hadn't been in such a, since, no, to be fair, like, that was a, let's just say, a hot angle. Because obviously America hadn't been in such a, since Vietnam, really,

like such a big kind of like, you know, boots on the ground operation. And yeah, that was a... But the thing that really stuck in the mind for me was apparently... I think the eye shake was involved as well. Yeah, he was, always. But the real tipping point apparently was like, he had a massive bust up with Vince McMahon because Vince McMahon told him that at WrestleMania to burn the American flag. And he was like, I a massive bust up with vince mcmahon because vince mcmahon told

him that at wrestlemania to burn the american flag and he was like i'm not fucking doing that there's no way i'm doing that like so they compromised on him burning hulk hogan's shirt instead yeah it's wonderful isn't it i think um yeah he i think it was a big i think it's a big situation with him and obviously he was in that in those gi joe uh cartoons as well i think as sergeant slaughter and he made a shitload of shit ton of money out of that he's but the thing Obviously, he was in those G.I. Joe cartoons as well, I think, as Sergeant Slaughter, and he made a shitload of shit ton of money out of that. But the thing about him is he still has the little moustache and he sort of dyes it black and stuff.

He looks exactly the same as he ever did. He's still massive. He must have been in his 70s now. Huge guy, huge. Yeah, apparently he's 75 now. What a chin. What a chin. We saw him a few weeks ago in Philadelphia.

So there we go. All right, Pete, take us out of here. All right, then. We've been fucking great. You are lucky. This has been the Look and Pete Show. Sorry about all that. We'll be back next week.

We hope to find more batteries in bits of electronics. And we hope that there's, you know, we saw some absolutely terrible graphic design from Warriors. I just want to see another battery band that has such absolutely middling graphic design. I want to hear from people who worked on Bear Grylls' show. Yeah, I want to see whether it was all on the level or not. Sorry about that noise in the background.

That's my cat. It sounded like your bum gone brr. He wants food. All right. Yeah, I want to see whether it was all on the level or not. Sorry about that noise in the background. That's my cat. It sounded like your bum gone brr. He wants food. All right. That's his food sound. Go give the cat some food. Get your cat to give you some food.

Yeah, will do. See you later on. Thanks, guys. Bye. the luke and pete show is a stack production and part of the acast creator network
