Happy birthday to
Dan Aykroyd
Miss Domina
don't know who she is
Lea Seydoux
Princess Diana
Duchess of everything
and Debbie Harry
as well
Lady Diana
Lady Diana
Your boys
took one
for beating Yeah I remember that Lady Diana Lady Chelsea boys. Took one. Hello for beating.
Yeah, remember that.
Lady Diana.
Lady Chelsea.
She would have been 50.
No.
60.
Yeah.
Princess Diana.
Yeah.
No way 50.
She would have been 60.
No way, mate.
Can't be 50.
All right, fine.
Yeah.
Wouldn't put it past the royal family.
Anyway.
Boom.
It's the Luke and Pete show.
It's a Thursday.
I'm Pete Donaldson.
I'm joined by Luke Moore.
Hello.
Is that all you got?
How you doing?
Is that all you got?
I wanted to talk about Sexy Beasts.
Sexy Beasts!
Today.
Okay.
We're quite looking forward to it.
Because I think you'll have some good takes on it.
Okay.
So I'm not talking about the film Sexy Beasts.
Okay, fine, fine, fine.
With Ray Winston, which is a brilliant movie.
And if you haven't seen it,
you should definitely go and do so.
I think that's on Netflix, actually.
But what's also on Netflix
is a new dating show called Sexy Beasts.
Oh, I've seen some screenshots of that.
Yeah, and I think it's shocking to me
because I am not a dating show guy, right?
You guys know as well as I do
that the closest I get to a dating show
is 90 Day Fiancé,
which Mimi likes to watch.
And I will get involved occasionally.
That's not really a dating show.
So your Love Islands,
your whatever,
I've not really seen.
One of the things that is absolutely baffling
is that show Naked Attraction.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, that was...
It's a little bit strong, isn't it?
It's a bit...
It's not saying anything for me.
It started off saying something.
It's not saying anything.
What do you think about naked attraction
before we get into sexy beast?
I think that the emailer from last week,
who, Josh,
I think his dad would be well up for it.
Oh, yeah, he would.
He'd be well up for it.
Imagine if it was like naked attraction,
but just x-rays.
X-rays, yeah.
That would be interesting.
What have I put on my bum?
You'll find out now
what congenital
defects do I have
that will make me
a poor partner
long term
you want these jeans
you can have them
anyway
sexy beasts
see single people
dress up
in ridiculous
outfits
to test
blind date
chemistry
if you haven't seen it,
it's basically like
dating with furries,
right? Yeah, yeah it is,
yeah. Do you think everyone knows
what furries are? Yeah, I mean
anyone under 30 would
and anyone over 30 doesn't want to know about it.
Do you think anyone under 30 would? I don't know,
furries is like a big thing on the internet about
like 10 years ago.
Yeah.
Some people are just normal.
Just explain in a sense what furries are.
People who love animals.
Just people who are obsessed with...
Sexy animals.
Like the caramel bunnies.
They want to be an animal.
Not exactly,
but like more like ferocious sexual beasts.
I thought it was more innocent than that.
I thought it was like cutesy kind of animals and stuff.
Yeah, but they've always got,
in every drama,
they've always got like a big bulge
that is going to do something soon, isn't it? Put down their pants. Down their pant stuff. Yeah, but they've always got, in every drama, they've always got like a big bulge that is going to do something soon, isn't it?
Put down their pants.
Put down their panties.
Yeah.
So Sexy Beast means,
and one thing I would say is
if you haven't seen the trailer,
the prosthetics do look actually really well done.
But it is like absolutely insane.
And I watched the trailer of it
just after I watched that video
that had been leaked
that some absolute penis in the government wants kids
to sing Strong Britain, Great Nation.
So fucking Hitler. Yeah, so weird.
And I don't think my
body or my brain was ready for the one-two
punch of both those things. Okay.
So I ended up thinking, I must be living in some kind of
fucking hellscape. Strong Britain,
kiss a hamster boy.
Great Nation. Yeah, Great Nation.
So would you, if you could choose your animal,
what would you go on as?
I'd be like a really heavily latexed armadillo or something.
I'd just be like clonking about.
Protective shell.
Protective shell so that no one gets to my emotions.
Your emotions are never that far away from the surface though,
are they?
No.
No, I keep most of my thoughts to myself you would you might find that very hard to believe it's i mean it's very similar this show
to liverpool narcos what do you mean you you you're constantly uncovering a cashier feelings
you think you've been hidden yeah exactly i just don't see what why this show exists, why it needs to happen. Have you read our iTunes reviews?
It just makes you feel old
and makes you feel out of step with life.
What do you mean?
It's a little bit mask singer,
it's a little bit mask dancer.
But I don't get the mask singer either.
But they just sort of go in.
I don't get the mask dancer.
How's that even possible?
Well, they're having a dance around.
Yeah, but the whole point is with dancing,
with singing,
you can listen to the voice
and the idea is...
I just think the first week
they should have just got rid of...
Right, look,
one of them's going to be
Ashley Banjo.
One of them's going to be
one of those dancers
from Britain's Got Talent.
What are they called?
Exterminate.
Diversity.
It's not exterminate.
No.
But I don't understand
how you would even possibly
be able to guess
with the masked dancer.
That's my point.
The masked singer,
I get it.
I think it's fucking dreadful, i get what it is the masked dancer
smacks to me of someone in an agency who's had a lovely fucking time the night before going well
dancing singing yeah exactly let's just do that masked woodworking yeah quite that exactly if
you were familiar with people's previous woodwork you might be able to to guess. You know, it'd be like how the repair shop.
Brilliant show, right?
You get the guy who's always doing the woodwork on that.
You could probably think, well, do you know what?
I've experienced and witnessed some of his earlier pieces.
I think it might be this guy.
That said...
Masked Formula One.
It doesn't really exist.
No.
It does.
I guess it does.
Yeah, it does.
But with the mask woodworking,
I think you're probably limiting the pool of people you can get on.
Right, okay, yeah, yeah.
You need to be good at it.
You've got to be slightly good at it.
What did you make in woodworking again at school?
I remember drilling a mate's lighthouse.
What do you mean?
Sort of speaking.
We've all done that.
What did you do at woodworking school?
I remember we used to have a school
that was a quite newish kind of 80s school
that they didn't really have doors,
so you could kind of start in your classroom
and just do a fucking lap of everyone else's, ten of them.
What?
In a circle.
How do you mean?
They just didn't have doors.
It was one of those new buildings.
It was just like everything was open plan.
And so if I got bored doing whatever, I'd bet, you know, it was...
You weren't a naughty kid, though, were you?
No, I was just a fucking lazy kid.
I was just a distracted kid.
Yeah, I'd just do a lap,
and I remember just going into somebody else's classroom,
and I just found a bit of junk wood.
I wasn't talking about this on the show before,
but I drilled into it with a hand drill,
just because I was bored.
And the teacher went,
that is your friend Jonathan Mathwin's lighthouse.
He spent ages making that, and he just drilled a hole in it.
What's Jonathan doing now?
Yeah, he's dead.
Is he?
Is he actually dead?
He died of leukemia when he was about six.
It's very sad.
Six?
Yeah.
How was he making a lighthouse if he was six?
What do you mean?
It wasn't an actual lighthouse.
It was just a bit of wood that resembled.
It looked like it was a piece of crap, clearly,
because I started drilling it.
But he can't have been doing woodwork at five.
He was. And he died at five. He was.
And he died.
He was very...
Well, he clearly squeezed in a lot before he popped off.
I don't know.
That's crazy.
Yeah, crazy.
That's made me a little bit upset.
Oh, it was horrible.
I was going to ask you a question.
His head went massive.
What?
A leukemia.
It's fucking...
You know, it's just...
He came back.
He gave through all the chemotherapy.
He just came back and he just looked like a different kid.
I was like, what the fuck is that?
I used to go to, like, what the fuck is that?
I used to go to York with him, to the trains.
Look at the trains.
Big fans of the trains.
You were good friends with him then?
Yeah, yeah.
Because you were friends with footballer Michael Brown as well.
He just turned up when I was about 16.
Had a little kick around.
Was he good?
He was playing for Manchester City.
He was alright, alright yeah you should have
started that to him
it was hard
it really was
Hartlepool was wild
back in the day
sounds like it
probably still is
bearing in mind
for those listening
the only photos of you
as a kid I've seen
of one of you
with an arm around a chimp
yep
he was the mayor
and one of you
on top of a massive elephant
yeah
in Hartlepool
I don't even know
that's possible.
Yeah.
I can remember my mum and dad
having a big row when I was a kid
because my dad wanted to take me to the circus
and my mum said,
no, it's cruel.
And my dad literally,
I can remember it now,
my dad opened the local newspaper
with a picture of the circus
and the picture was of a tiger riding a bike.
Right.
And my dad's saying he wouldn't be doing it if he didn't want to do it.
It's a good point, isn't it?
Yeah.
And my mum's saying, you're not taking them.
And then I ended up not going because I got nits anyway.
I got nits.
You got nits?
Yeah, so I couldn't go anywhere.
Oh, no.
I was fucking gutted as well.
Yeah.
I think my dad was just going to say.
See the tiger riding the bike.
It's really interesting though, isn't it?
as well.
Yeah.
I think my dad was just going to say... See the tiger riding the bike.
It's really interesting though,
isn't it?
Because my dad
is a really
environmentally conscious person.
He loves the natural world.
He loves animals.
He used to get
encyclopedias about animals
all the time.
We subscribed
to this
really cool thing
where you got a
hardback
book
with loads of pictures in it
about different...
And the way it was separated out
was different parts
of the animal kingdom
so you could learn
how the animals
related to each other
and what
it was amazing
and I think he saved up
to get it
or he sent off for it
or whatever
at the same time
in his mind
the cognitive dissonance
was so strong
he still wanted to go
to a circus
and watch these animals
do this shit
where else are you going
to see them
it's in the 80s I guess
before crawls
before it was bad yeah it's just a weird weird thing yeah are you going to see them? It's in the 80s, I guess. Yeah. Before crawls, these animals were bad. Before it was bad.
Yeah.
So it's just a weird, weird thing.
Yeah.
I was going to ask you though,
on lighthouses,
I was having this debate
with my mate the other day,
I genuinely was,
because we were at,
where was I?
You were at Portland,
weren't you?
Yes, Portland.
And you talked about it.
Oh, Portland Bill.
Oh, Portland Bill, yeah, yeah.
You talked about lighthouses,
didn't you?
And we couldn't work out
whether they're actually being used or not anymore.
You think everything would be like GPS and stuff?
Maybe they're still used.
I don't know.
I haven't really found out.
I was planning to find out,
but I never got a road to it.
Is it kind of like...
You know the lights?
They rotated, didn't they, back in the day?
I don't really know how it all worked.
They had to get the fog horn.
They're like telling you that the Earth is over there.
But the lights, is that kind of just
no it wouldn't
illuminate the sea
would it
that would be ridiculous
but it wouldn't show you
any of the shoreline
it would just basically go
here's the lighthouse
don't head towards that
that's the land you idiot
yeah
that's basically
what they're designed for
do you know what
a lighthouse is
no
no that's basically
what you've just described
I thought it was just
like a rocket ship
that wouldn't go
yeah
stuck on the launch pad yeah no I didn't I think you've just described. I thought it was just like a rocket ship that wouldn't go. Yeah. Stuck on the launch pad.
Yeah.
No, I think you've perfectly described a lighthouse there.
Yes.
Well done, mate.
Finally.
And the other thing that came up in the news this week
that I wanted to talk to you about was a man who had a surgery in Austria,
82, already quite old.
But due to what the hospital
are describing as human error,
he had the wrong leg amputated.
Oh, that's a shame.
It put me in mind of the fact
that whenever I've seen people
who share photos
when they're in hospital
or say they're having a knee operation
or an ankle operation or whatever,
do you ever notice that the surgeon
in massive blue marker pen
puts an arrow to the right one?
Isn't that an amazing lesson for everyone
to learn about how...
Keep it simple.
Get the basics right.
Do the basics right, right?
Surgeons are known as being like,
you know, out there and very confident
and at the top of their game.
If you're some kind of...
Think of Eddie Clasale from ER.
Who's that?
He's the bloke
who did this
in the titles.
Who played him?
Which actor?
I only know
it was Eric Claissal.
I can't remember who he played.
He had a deaf son
and that really brought him
back down to earth
from being this
rock star surgeon.
Eric Claissal.
And he had a deaf kid
and he was like
oh my god
I've got to really
re-evaluate
my rock star credentials
because now I've got to
worry about another human being.
Dr. Peter Benton.
Dr. Peter Benton.
Do you remember Dr. Peter Benton?
In the titles, he went,
Yeah, hi-ya!
Because he'd just done an amazing amputation of a leg.
I remember thinking ER was fucking cool.
Yeah.
It was like a cool TV show.
The coolest.
Dr. Green, he was in Top Gun,
and then he just turns us on to that.
He was Goose in Top Gun, wasn't he?
Goose in Top Gun.
I remember ER,
before big high
budget TV things
were a big deal in
the UK like they
are now that was
like a big thing
yeah it was on
channel 4 but I
think it was on
prime time and
people were like
massively into it
George Clooney
was in it
yes yeah of course
that was his first
kind of role and he
was very supportive
of other cast members
I remember but yeah
do you know who
created her
Juliana Margulies do you know who created her? Juliana Margulies.
Do you know who created her?
Hello.
I don't remember her.
A very beautiful woman.
Oh, I do remember her.
Yeah, I do remember her.
Do you know who created her?
Was it?
Oh, I'm on the Wikipedia as well.
Michael Crichton.
Michael Crichton.
Michael Crichton.
Whenever I think of Michael Crichton,
I don't think of Jurassic Park.
I don't think of all those things.
I think of Fatherland. Is it Fatherland? think of Jurassic Park. I don't think of all those things. I think of Fatherland.
Is it Fatherland?
Didn't he do that thing about if Hitler had continued?
I think that's Robert Harris, isn't it?
Shit!
Robert Harris, isn't it?
He didn't do any of that.
I mean, I don't know.
He didn't write any of that, did he?
I think he is.
So Michael Crichton is Jurassic Park.
Yes.
He did The Andromeda Strain.
Right.
He did an amazing book called Timeline.
Is that a similar thing?
Timeline?
It was if Hitler continued his... No, Timeline is Is that a similar thing? Timeline?
It was if Hitler continued his... No, Timeline is about people who discover
how they can travel back in time
with this kind of facsimile type thing.
Exactly.
That's how I remember the Hitler story.
That's what he did.
What are you talking about?
Hitler travelled back in time, didn't he?
Where's this come from?
Am I thinking of Michael Jeff Fox again?
Anyway, Michael Crichton has done some amazing stuff
and I can't believe he managed to do ER as well.
It's incredible.
Yeah.
It's incredible.
I'd like to re-watch ER
to see if it still stands up.
He also wrote
a book called
Electronic Life
in 1983
saying that everyone
should have a computer.
Hmm.
I agree.
That's fair enough.
I've just noticed
that Michael Crichton's dead.
What?
Oh, he died quite recently,
didn't he?
Died in 2008, Pete. Yeah, quite recently Yeah he died quite recently He died in 2008 Pete
Yeah quite recently
No he went back in time
Died then
Apparently he was
Died this week
Apparently he was 6 foot 9
Shut up
He was 6 foot 9
He was not 6 foot 9
That's incredible wasn't it
You're thinking of
like a Diplodocus or something
So Jurassic Park
as a book
is vastly different
to the movie
Right
So in the book
It's chickens
It's just loads of chickens
It's not actually about dinosaurs
It's just loads of chickens Yeah he just gets chickens back and a lot of them peck people the difference to the movie right so in the book it's not actually about dinosaurs
yeah
he just gets
chickens back
and a lot of them
peck people
in Jurassic Park
it's a lot more
a lot darker
a lot more people die
a lot more brutal
right
obviously
ah
what's that
the computer guy
Dennis Nedry
Dennis Nedry
I reckon you
could ask me
any question
about Jurassic Park
and I'll know
the answer
right how many dinosaurs I don't know Dennis Nedry. Dennis Nedry, aha. I reckon you could ask me any question about Jurassic Park and I'll know the answer.
Right.
How many dinosaurs was he playing?
I don't know.
Another guy who's done so much stuff that you don't realise is Stephen King.
Yeah.
Stephen King, like, you know all the big hits.
Yeah.
The heavy hitters.
The big ones, the big hits after big hits,
but he's done some other stuff as well.
Didn't he give over a few, like, short stories
completely free for filmmakers?
Amateur filmmakers who tried to make their way in this world.
They could use a couple of his scripts completely free and make films out of it.
It's a lovely touch.
He's very socially responsible, I think.
He's definitely one of those writers who didn't turn mad after all the success.
Do you know that he did The Shining?
Right.
Did he?
Yeah.
Shining's one of his.
Yeah.
And Christine.
Yeah, but no, you're thinking of Carrie, aren't you?
No, Christine.
There's a car on it.
Oh, yes. Remember?
Yeah, okay.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But my point is that everyone knows your miseries and your stans and all this kind of stuff.
But he also did The Shining, which people never remember.
Absolute legend.
He's got a very interesting nose.
Let me have a look.
I'll have a quick look now.
Yes, he has, actually.
He looks like one of the ghouls out of Fallout.
What?
He looks like what?
He looks like one of the ghouls out of Fallout.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Which he also wrote, by the way.
Yeah.
Well, look.
I wish someone would fucking write it again.
His son's a novelist, I think.
Yeah, didn't he pretend that he wasn't Stephen King's son?
Yeah, I don't think he wants any part of it.
I don't think he wants a leg up.
Yeah, okay.
He doesn't want the pressure.
But now everyone knows.
Yeah.
It's like you being the son of David Beckham.
yeah it's like you being
the son of
David Beckham
I just started
reading
one of the
Mitford sisters
I just started
reading the book
set in 1930s
Germany
yeah
called
March Violets
no
you shouldn't be
reading that
March Violets
by Philip Kerr
right
really good
good
how do you
find time
probably because
you haven't moved
house recently how do you find time to Probably because you haven't moved house recently.
How do you find
time to do
anything?
I've got a lot
of bandwidth.
Bandwidth.
You like short
circuit input.
One thing you
haven't considered
is that I am
actually very
clever.
Right.
Okay.
Yes.
I've got a lot
of bandwidth.
You remember
stuff.
While we think
about my bandwidth
let's take a break.
Yes please.
When we come back
we're going to do
some battery brands
and then we're
going to do some
emails as well.
So look forward to that.
Oh, it's time for Batteries, Boys and Babes.
Yeah.
It's the Luke and Pete show.
Are we the babes?
Yeah, I'm the boys.
I'm the boy, you're the babe.
Okay, sounds good.
Robin, Stacey, hello to you.
Thank you for emailing in your King Kong batteries.
King Kong, I don't think we had them before.
They're not a new player.
Thank you very much.
You and White, thank you very much for sending in some Texas batteries.
I think they're new, aren't they?
They're not. Nah.
T-E-C-X-U-S.
I don't think so.
What?
There's no consensus there.
Ha, ha.
Whenever I see the word Texas, ha, ha.
Yeah.
Charlene Spiteri.
TFI Friday.
Every fucking Friday.
Ha, ha.
So I quite liked Charlene Spiteri. TFI Friday, every fucking Friday. So I quite liked Charlene Spiteri.
She's great news.
People were obsessed with her in the 90s, weren't they?
Yeah.
Well, what's his name from Don't Forget Your Toothbrush?
He was obsessed.
Chris Evans.
Chris Evans, he was obsessed.
How can you not remember Chris Evans' name?
It's incredible the levels you'll go to to not remember a name.
Because there's a new Chris Evans on the block.
Oh yeah, true.
I can't be arsed.
Well, you've got Chris Evans, Chris Pine, Chris Thingy.
There's loads of them.
Chris behind the pines.
Yeah.
No, that's Ryan Gosling.
Who's the one who got his willy out?
Who's the one who got his willy out on his Twitter?
Armie Hammer.
No!
It goes a lot deeper than that, Luke.
Good lord.
That's what he said.
Yeah, the thing is,
I find a lot of them all look the same.
So I'll be looking at a picture of Henry Cavill
and I'll be like,
oh, it's fucking Armie Hammer.
I don't want to know what he's been up to.
But it's not.
It's actually Henry Cavill, right?
They all look weirdly the same.
Yeah, but Henry Cavill,
he builds PCs.
Armie Hammer, problematic.
The other ones,
one's Thor,
one's Spaceman.
Oh, Chris Hemsworth. Who's the one who played Captain Kirk in the new ones? Chris Pine one's oh Chris Hemsworth
who's the one
who played Captain Kirk
in the new ones
Chris Pine
is that Chris Pine
yeah
right
he's got the eyebrows
who's the one
who's in Parks and Rec
and is now already
muscly
Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt
yeah
Chris Evans is Captain America
yeah
too fucking many
it's unbelievable
too many
it's unbelievable
Steve McQueen's a director
I'm just
I thought equity meant you couldn't have similar names.
Choose something else.
Stephen Battlestar.
Do that.
They're all living a story that Stephen King wrote.
Yeah.
It's just the same guy.
Yeah.
The world ends and Chris is left.
Yeah.
Not having it.
What were we originally talking about?
Chris Evans.
You should be able to remember Chris Evans as night, to be fair.
Who's the new Chris Evans in British television?
For the US listeners, he was the Ryan Seacrest of the 90s.
But he was more than that, wasn't he?
He was more than that.
Did he?
Because he did a lot of business deals and stuff, didn't he?
He's more than that.
He's more than that.
Well, he bought Virgin and then didn't want to work Fridays.
And then he sold the company off.
And then he didn't want to work Fridays
and then they went, you need to leave now because we need someone who works Fridays.
Who's the modern equivalent, did you say?
Yeah.
I don't know really.
Is it that guy who is always the really annoying voice and the guy who's clearly still a virgin?
Oh.
Chris Evans.
What's the name of the guy who um he's just a complete prick
and he's on Twitter
all the time
right
and he tries to like
be really controversial
for no reason
he's like
very right wing
right
what's his fucking name
he tries to be very
controversial
yeah I can't remember
his name
it's depressing
oh this is rare
yeah I know
it's a bit of a
role reversal
a little bit of a role reversal
not Darren Grimes
the one before Darren Grimes people will be listening to the show Milo no people will bit of a role reversal. I'm not helping you out. Not Darren Grimes, the one before Darren Grimes.
People will be listening
to the show now.
Milo, no.
People will be listening
to the show going,
I'm screaming his name out.
He's an absolute penis.
I'm just going to type
it into Google.
Absolute penis.
How are you going
to find him?
Right wing,
Darren Grimes before
Darren Grimes.
I've typed in,
I've typed in,
do you know what?
I will be able
to find his name.
Hang on.
I've just typed in,
I've just typed in I've just typed in
check your likes
right wing Twitter young man
so
Paul Joseph Watson
Paul Watson
oh yeah
yeah
didn't he disappear
because you know
Twitter doesn't like that sort of thing
their share price
enjoyed it for a very long time
now they're like
too hot for us now
no he's still on their tweeting
is he
he's got 1.1 million followers
good god
good lord what he needs is some fresh air what he needs is to go outside go for a walk for us now. No, he's still on there tweeting. Is he? He's got 1.1 million followers. Good God. Good Lord.
What he needs
is some fresh air.
What he needs
is to go outside.
Go for a walk.
Yeah, and have a think about it.
None of this is making you
any money, mate.
He could be the Chris Evans.
Why?
Because I think
the world's moved on.
Right.
And he's like...
Yesterday's man.
So Chris Evans,
at the heart of what
Chris Evans was doing
is he was able to really
tap into what everyone wanted.
So he's going to be very successful
by making TV shows
that no one else is making
because the people who were making TV shows at the time
were making old-fashioned shit TV shows.
So I'm wondering whether
the new Chris Evans
are the kind of online social media people
who are making content
that normal people like us go,
that looks a bit fucking weird
or newfangled,
but lots of people love it
but it's more
hateful
although
let's be absolutely
clear
TFI Friday in the back
through the lens
of 2021
did look a little bit
more hateful
than perhaps they
thought at the time
no wrong with the
Rastroncasters mate
what's that
they used to wheel
on a Rastafarian
block on
Casters I think didn't they also spend a on a Rastafarian block on casters
I think didn't they
also spend a lot of
time taking the piss
out of women's
football didn't they
get like a production
team from TFI5 to
play the England
women's football team
right okay
to mock them
that's yeah
yeah
the 90s
anyway
that's what it is
what it is baby

hello to
who we got here?
Sam.
Hello, Sam.
Growing up in Sydney,
our food storage challenges
are obviously different to yours
due to the pretty significant weather variances.
Personally, I think bread should never be chilled
no matter what the climate.
However, the stepmother of my best mate
at primary school
insisted bread be stored in the freezer.
What?
So when it came to weekend lunchtimes, we would have to make a row of bread slices before
using them.
We had many a fun time together in those days, but the sandwiches were quite predictably
shit.
Yeah, so this is a really bad thing in my family with my lovely wife.
She freezes everything.
Oh.
So she'll bake a load of really nice cookies.
I'll get to eat maybe a couple of them, and then the rest will go in the freezer.
Will they taste as good coming out? I think you know the answer to that, don't you? You know the answer to that. You still eat them, then the rest will go in the freezer. Will they taste as good coming out?
I think you know the answer to that.
Don't you?
You know the answer to that.
You still eat them though, don't you?
Mimi makes these amazing things
called seven-layer cookies.
They're like an Italian traditional cookie.
They're not really cookies.
It's like a layer of...
Tenderly fish.
Live fish.
No, it's like a layer of dark chocolate,
thin dark chocolate.
Yeah.
And it's one colour...
I think they normally do it like the Italian flags.
It's like one green sponge, one white sponge,
one red sponge, and then dark chocolate again,
and then jam in between the layers to make seven layers.
And then add some spaghetti.
You're already pleased with yourself there, aren't you?
Pathetic.
Then you add some gabagool.
Gabagool!
And then she makes them. Oh, I've had my head. It takes her all dayool gabagool and then she
makes them
takes her all day
to do that
and then she cuts them up
and puts them in the freezer
cuts them up
they're supposed to be
like that bit
oh right okay
so you make a big batch
of them
very complex
that's a flavour explosion
why are you putting them
in the freezer
it's like one of those
energy gels
that you see on the tube
where you can have
bespoke energy
where it's just like
apparently a 3D printed
kind of
different
configurations of colours
like the blue
will be iron
and the orange
will be
calcium
and a lot of
different flavours
and different
kind of uses
effectively
different vitamins
and they 3D print them
apparently
I don't buy it
I don't know what
you're talking about
what are you talking about
it's a vitamin gel
but it's like a vitamin gel.
But it's like a vitamin snack sort of thing.
A 3D printer snack?
That's what they say.
And I think they're being fast and loose personally with the idea of 3D.
But it's a bespoke vitamin experience.
We'll be advertising in a few weeks.
Yeah.
It's a bespoke snack.
I've got no problem with that.
I know.
I want some.
I keep on looking.
I want to know what they're like.
I thought the only thing you could 3D print was guns.
3D guns yeah
I can't believe
you've not got a 3D printer
no it's one of those things
that I was
even I know
even I know
I'm not going to use that
I've got no business
having one
you've changed
I know
you have changed
what you could have done
if you were clever
is you could have
during the house move
bought yourself one
oh and it would just
turn up
yes
I've always done that
just I've never unpacked it before.
You should have done that.
You should have used that
to buy loads of stuff you wanted.
Yeah.
You shared me a picture
of your suitcase of wires.
Yeah, there's a little
cheeky little USB
sticking out the side.
Yeah.
I like to think
when I'm asleep
they come alive
like a Pixar film.
I'd like to think
that I could bet money
that you will not open
that suitcase of wires
before the end of 2022.
It's a very good chance, Luke.
Very good chance.
None of those wires
are even usable anymore.
Anyway, going back
to frozen food stuff,
another thing that my wife will do
is she'll buy,
we'll buy a couple of packets
of biscuits, right?
Straight in the freezer.
Yeah.
She puts everything in the freezer.
I'm being serious.
Biscuits.
Yeah.
Like pre-packaged biscuits.
So we are a big fan of,
as American cousins call them,
fig newtons.
We call them fig rolls, right?
Right, yeah, yeah, okay.
They go straight in the freezer.
Do the...
The fig bit in the middle
just goes solid.
That it does.
You sort of like...
Yeah.
Have you ever eaten one
and it's like all...
Yeah.
And then I imagine when it melts,
it would probably be
a bit more gooey than usual,
I guess.
So basically,
imagine like...
Fig newtons! Imagine eating a fig roll, but it tastes worse and it's a lot harder.
And it's hard as bitumen.
I would go quite as far as bitumen.
My granddad said, my granddad told me last weekend that he used to chew on bitumen.
Yeah, delicious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My, I think I'll tell you my partner's friend
who lives in York
who's got a
husband who
works in construction
have you been
around
well Miranda
it's like Hamilton
we can sing the whole thing
yeah
I was
expressing my interest
in his business
which is
road surfacing
and bitumen and stuff
you were basically
trying to be interested
in stuff
no I was
you know
I don't meet many people who run an entire fucking bitumen and stuff. You were basically trying to be interested in stuff. No, I was.
I don't meet many people who run an entire fucking bitumen quarry,
whatever the fuck it is.
I wasn't really listening.
And I sort of expressed a bit of an interest.
And he, at first, thought I was taking the piss because I'm a wanker London fucking media prick.
But I was genuinely interested.
So when you're delivering the bitumen,
when you're delivering the tar...
What is bitumen?
It's just the stuff that goes into tarmac.
What's it made of?
It's a by-product of the oil industry, isn't it?
When they cut down the crude oil
into its different constituent cracking parts, I suppose.
Oh, it's a semi-solid form of petroleum.
Right, yeah.
So it would be delicious.
But he...
Yeah, and I expressed an interest in it
a little bit too much
and I think he was,
he thought I was taking the piss.
At the end for Christmas,
he sends me a bit,
a lump of bitumen in a shoebox.
That's cool.
And I was like,
I'm going to have a little chew on it.
Did you have a chew on it?
I had a little chew on it.
What was it like?
Just kind of soft and chewy.
It burned a little.
Should we be telling our listeners not to do that?
Don't do,
if you have access to bitumen,
don't chew on it.
So my granddad, just to finish this story,
because my...
He's amazing, my granddad.
He's really funny.
And he's had an amazing life.
Your granddad is an Autobot, though, to be fair.
No, he remembers seeing Spitfires
fighting against German fighter jets,
fighter planes, overhead in Portsmouth
when he grew up.
And I hate to sort of
talk like an old
fucking boomer
who's upset
about the
youth of today
but like
you know
we wind you up
masks and stuff like that
like
imagine seeing that
in the fucking air
how weird it is
he said
that he would come
into school
eventually they got
evacuated out to the
west country
but he said
he would come into school
and sometimes
there would just be
empty desks because the
houses had not
before been bombed
and the kids were
dead
right
it's serious
but anyway
we were talking
about upbringings
right
so many dead kids
in this fucking
episode
he said to me
that
he said the worst
weekend of his life
right
and he was telling
it with a certain
amount of kind of
you know
the wry smile
on his face
he wasn't upset or anything he was just talking with a certain amount of kind of, you know, the wry smile on his face. He wasn't upset or anything.
He was just talking about how it was.
On the Friday, he was out playing in the street with his friends
and they went up into a water tank and were swimming around.
I think he was eight, right?
One of them drowned, right?
The Saturday, his parents, my great-grandparents,
made him take his dog that he'd had since he was,
that he found as a stray, to be put down.
Yeah.
Himself.
Right?
Right.
And then a day or two later or whatever, the war broke out.
What's the weekly version of Anus Horribilis?
Yeah.
That's a lot to take in for an eight-year-old.
I'll be like, what a case of the Mondays
I've got.
In fact,
I think he was only seven,
actually.
I think he might not have
had his eighth birthday
at that point.
I was chewing on
fucking bitumen.
He was chewing on bitumen.
It's like kind of
like chewing tobacco.
He's trying to get it all
together.
He chewed on the bitumen.
He used to play on the bomb craters,
all that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
So it wasn't that long ago
when you think about it.
No, it wasn't.
Anyway,
if you experienced a war,
no, I'm only joking.
Email us in
hello at lukeandpeach.com
if you've got anything
to talk about.
Yeah, what do you like
chewing on
that perhaps you
shouldn't be chewing on?
Yeah.
What's the most,
there you go,
what's the most
interesting thing
you've chewed on?
Okay, yeah.
We had an email yesterday
of a guy who's obviously
catching up with old episodes
and talking about finding a lot of bones in his garden.
Oh, children of bone.
Turned out to be dog bones.
Nice, there you go.
Do you remember that guy had the car in his garden and buried?
Yes.
That's where it came from.
Do you remember when that in Liverpool,
and I'm not casting aspersions anywhere,
but in Liverpool there was the body of a little baby found
in a park
was there
and obviously
you know the
community sort of
you know big
outpouring of
emotion put
put flowers down
and sort of like
wrote poems and
stuff it was a
chicken somebody
just throwing a
chicken
right
just a cooked
chicken
so with the dog
apparently the guy
you mailed in
with a dog
they had to do
an investigation
first yeah I bet they would yeah yeah so anyway chicken. So with the dog, apparently the guy you mailed in with the dog, they had to do an investigation first.
Yeah, I bet they would.
I bet they would, yeah. So anyway,
I don't know where that's come from, but
What have you chewed on? Why, when I was
about six,
I would chew on some sugar cane.
Where did that go? Did you?
In my house. I've never even seen sugar cane.
Because I used to chew on
licorice root, That was pretty popular.
Never seen that either.
I used to get that from the health food shop.
Health food shop was just bins full of sugar puffs.
That was the health food shop.
Just get your own fucking shit in a bag.
And lollipops and those clear plastic, square plastic things.
Yeah.
And, yeah, we had, like...
And I remember my dad coming home with a lot of sugar cane
and we were just chewing on it.
Probably came from the port, did it?
Probably not.
I don't know.
Why would I suddenly...
He worked in a chemical factory.
I don't know.
He told you it was sugar cane.
That's uranium, Dad.
Licorice root and sugar cane.
Yeah.
Interesting.
If you've chewed on anything as interesting as that,
let us know.
But email us anything you want us to talk about on the show.
We always like reading your emails.
We can't get through
all of them,
but we get through
our favourites
and that's the most
we can commit to
at this point.
