Not literative, it rhymes. What's a liter... Those are the words with the same starting letter.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Oh yes, of course it is. But does it not need to be the first... Not letter, but also the letters that come after it, like two... Like, you know, I can't think of one.

Starting point is 00:02:49 It does. It's quite a strong... It's got caffeine in it. Sorry. Oh, fuck me up. Take it out then. I've poisoned you. What's wrong with a bit of caffeine?
Starting point is 00:02:57 To be fair, it's my fault for just putting something that you gave me in my mouth. Correct. Correct. Just because I had proper... I mean, it's a good lesson for me because if it's got proper labeling on you, you will have a go at it. Right. Meat in a bag? No. No exactly. How much caffeine has it gotten out of interest? Just asking for a friend cause I've got stuff to do like tomorrow's my morning at the sea tonight. Well, I mean it's a cafe, you barbeque. Good Christmas Luke. Arse up. Arse up the whole time. Collapsed
Starting point is 00:03:23 on the 27th. Anyway, last time we recorded, Peter, we talked about hide the pickle, didn't we? We did. And we, oh, by the way, so I got a lot of response to how I saved Christmas for one family. Do you remember? Oh yeah, that was very good, yeah. Well, there's an addendum to it.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Was there any criticism of me opening other people's tax documents? Not that. From Bermuda? I don't look at the stuff addressed to you. There is an epilogue though, a post script. There's a little epilogue to my tale of sadness. I was dragged down the street by my royal deadness. There we go. Who's that?
Starting point is 00:03:55 That's Bart Simpson. Nice. So the epilogue is the post script goes, I'll just recap the story very quickly in case people don't remember. I went to great pains to deliver in person a Christmas gift that was came to my house from the people who used to live there by mistake. Did a little detective hunt job found where they live now, drove to their house, gave them it, presented it to them. I want them to be more grateful. To a monetary end. Yeah. No, not necessarily. Just a bit of Christmas cheer. In fact, you're coming in for a quick sherry. Who's got time for that?
Starting point is 00:04:31 No, the late. No one's got time. That's for sure. Would you do that? Would you offer the money? Guess what? No, no. What would you do? I'd say that's really kind of you. Can you take our bins out for us?
Starting point is 00:04:39 How are you getting on? Just say that. Yeah, okay. Guess what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday? Guess. Take our pins out for us. How you getting on? Just say that. Yeah, okay, right. Guess what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday? Guess.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Oh, a bottle of wine arrived. No. Right. A bottle of whiskey arrived. The same man had another gift delivered to my house. Oh wowzers. He is bad at this. How old is he?
Starting point is 00:04:59 Older than me. Right. Do you know what I said to the Wi-Fi I have access to? I'm gonna keep it. Well, he knows where we live. He knows. All right, So you're waiting for him to... I'm not fucking doing it again. No. Come on. What is this? I'm not inserting myself into the Amazon Prime delivery process permanently. Maybe he just thinks that you're always in. You know what I mean? Maybe, yeah. He's your... You know, like when you get like a DHL or something, he says,
Starting point is 00:05:22 do you want to leave it in your safe space? Do you want to leave it on the porch? Do you want to leave it with your neighbour? Would you like to leave it with the guy who bought your house 10 years ago? Would you like to leave it with a man two miles away? The wifi actually walked into the living room holding it and went, she seriously said to me, is this guy a fucking idiot? This is same day delivery. A second envelope has hit the door.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Exactly. Exactly. So that my, I think I've done my bit. Yeah. I don't think I've got to do more. No, I agree. I've got a son. I can't be driving to his house again. Here you go again. Me again. Get your son, taking this, your son's winter coat off, putting them in his child seat, keeping the, then the other side, they want to be out of the car. You got to put the coat back on. Do you want to know what's the problem with modern society? If I was to drive out to his house again, I'd look like the pervert. Yeah, you would.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Oh, he's here again. A gift. You're making me come here. Just keep on giving. Yeah, but then do it once and then do it once more with a gift he didn't order. And the next one is just my name crossed out with his name over the top of it. There you go. Never ever stop turning up his arms. Just regift all of the ones you don't want for Christmas.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Have you done anything that would spread Christmas cheer among our community at the moment? Never, ever stop turning up his arms. Just re-gift all of the ones you don't want for Christmas. Have you done anything that would spread Christmas cheer among our community at the moment? Have I done anything particularly Christmassy? Put the tree up. That was quite fun. That was interesting. You bought a new, a live one, right? A live tree, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I think the whole, I think it's very, I mean, it's awesome that people have trees that have to be, you know, you can put them in a pot and then repot them in the garden and stuff. But like, I think that the size is quite limiting, isn't it? Like you can only get smaller trees. It didn't work for us last year. Last year that died. Right. Oh, okay. Right. What'd you put on it? Um, loads of, loads of baubles, man. There's a strict. There's a strict there's a there's a strict rule on nor garish lights on our tree They are white
Starting point is 00:07:09 They are unapologetic Yeah, but it's Christmas about time it Christmas is about bright Gaudy colors There's a bit whenever anybody sort of sticks their neck above the parapet the head of proper parapet and then Just the neck just the neck just hold yourself in back. parapet and their neck. No, just the neck. Just the neck. Just the neck. Just the neck. Fold yourself in back.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah. And if someone wants to arrow my Adam's apple off, they can. And arrows love apples, if we've learned nothing else. They do. And they put like a slightly bright thing outside their house, which one of my neighbours does and then the other neighbour shouts at him because he says it looks like a brothel. So I'm scared. The Griswold's house. Oh, the Griswold's house. So I, so we've not got anything outside, but I would like some lovely colourful lights on my tree. What's stopping
Starting point is 00:07:54 you? Certain rules and regs. House. Bloody Brussels isn't it? Bloody Brussels. Housing regs. Get those lights up, the EU bands a lot. I want the old, I've got some tinsel. You can't buy shit tinsel anymore. I think it's what we cast in the Genic. Really? Is it? Maybe not cast in the Genic, but there's a health issue with it.
Starting point is 00:08:14 What? Microplastics. Because we got given a load of that old fashioned tinsel from a family member. That old fashioned tinsel! And we brought it out the box and I was like, nah. Queerludes. Nah. That looks flammable. Even if you. Quailoods. That looks flammable. Even if you put that in the bin. That looks flammable. That's left to go to the proper place on the tip.
Starting point is 00:08:29 That looks, I said it in the blog's house. Yeah, but I just want some really garish tinsel. Why has the tinsel got so tasteful? There's a lot of shops in like Essex that do, a lot of soft furnishings are always in silver. Any wooden any wooden surfaces, always black, you know, you know, your black chandelier kind of like crap. Um, any painting has to be a picture of, uh, of like Hollywood film stars playing pool and hanging out and having a drink or whatever. Um, and their tinsel is always quite dark and blue. So it's very much your energy though.
Starting point is 00:09:00 It's very much my energy. You're going to get more and more Essex slowly as the years go on. Yeah. Um, I don't, I always thought that men got like tattoo sleeves because they sat down and you just absorb them. It's like a mark. Do you think that's where you'll stay now Essex? That's the place for you is it? It's a big place. It's no doubt about that. You know, after that, you know, once you've exhausted Hockley, you can go to Chelmsford. Can you ever see yourself moving back into London?
Starting point is 00:09:27 Uh, not really. I mean, you just, unless I have a massive windfall. When she kicks you out. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Okay. I got a little peer det- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a-
Starting point is 00:09:38 a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- a- on old Compton street. Well, they, they, you're happy there. They're now God. No, I know. I'm jubilant. Absolutely. So not to not be. What did you like about it? I walked past it like quite recently and they've put like a little inspirational little plaque outside, not saying like here, here is where Pete Donaldson used to live. Just as a trotter. Atrocities to Chinese food. Um, it just sort of said like, uh, like I'd like an inspiration, like this is where we make how of homes. You know, CBRE fucking saw management system for a while. Now you've left though, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:10:13 Now we've left. They're daring to put inspirational messages on a basically a doorway that people piss in. Did you, did you, when you opened the front door, when you lived in old Compton street, did it smell of piss? Surprisingly not as much as often do you think, because that is prime piss area. But on a Saturday, Saturday morning, Sunday morning, there was always those kind of like temporary pisses. Very French, very French.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Where people just have their knob out in the street. In it, context is everything, innit? I'd be, I'd be, I'd still piss on your doorway. I was, I was actually, I remember worrying when you first moved out of that place, uh, to a life of, of, of casual eucolic freedom. Yeah. Well, it's not really becolic is it? I'd say kind of more suburban freedom. Um, I was worried that we run out of material, but then sometimes I think I'm gonna run out of material. Just give me more room. Just give me more room for adventures. You walked in this morning.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I was already here because I was doing something else and you walked in the room, um, strongly coat off. You've got a mustache on. A mustache on? Is that how you describe that? You've got a galaxy ripple on the go. Galaxy ripple on the go. I think this kid's got everything.
Starting point is 00:11:15 He's got it all. He's got a lot. I can't. That comprises a lore mustache. But I just don't think people listen to this. I mean, Christmas, we should be really grateful for these kinds of things. I don't think many people know what it's like to work with someone like yourself who just swans in with a galaxy ripple in the ground.
Starting point is 00:11:30 With a ripple like a cigar. Yeah. Hello, boys. It was I bought that for Sarah, but then I forgot to give it to her. So now I find galaxy ripples absolutely enchanting, but you really have to have a cup of tea on the go. Yeah. Without them, they are actually quite waxy. It's a flake surrounded by yet more chocolate, but from the Galaxy mould rather than the Cadbury mould. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:50 That's what it is. That's essentially what we're talking about. Just for our international listeners who have different chocolate bars. I don't know. Yeah, but they won't have a flakey. Okay. So it's like a... It's like a tree. It's like a tree. It's brown, flakey, like a tree. It's like a tree. It's like a tree. It's brown, it's flaky, like a tree. It's a tree. Chocolate tree. We're building up towards Christmas big time now. Less than a week to go. I think people would like to know whether you are truly a Christmas boy.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I'm a Christmas monster. Are you a Christmas boy though? Yeah. I love it. I love every aspect of it. I love the music. I mean, there's only really three songs, isn't there? What are they? I have had magic on quite a lot. The Pretenders one. What's the Pretenders one again? I think I quite like it. I love the music. Um, I mean, there's only really three songs, isn't there? I have had magic on quite a lot. The Pretenders one. What's the Pretenders one again? Um, I think I quite like it. Um, Oh, I can't remember. The bells. No, no, I want, um, the bell. Do you want me to look it up? Look up Pretenders. It's, um, bobble in pocket the pretenders one is um 2000 miles yes yeah but
Starting point is 00:12:50 that doesn't really explain the song enough for me to have it in my head do you know what i mean yeah what's the lyrics it felt like christmas time yes now that's a good one. What's the other two? Your classic Irish man, Pogs, Guy, Pogs. And then. And Carrie. You can't get away from Carrie. It's tedious. It's diehard as a Christmas film, but you just got to just get with it. May I tentatively suggest a couple more for The Pantheon? Uh, Darkness. The Gary Glitter one that no one plays anymore. Which one was the Gary Glitter one? A Rock and Roll Christmas. Oh, that is a good oneitter one that no one plays anymore. Which one was the Gary Glitter one? A rock and roll Christmas, and a Christmas rock and roll.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Could somebody not cover that and they get all, a glitter will always get the money, right? It's a good Christmas song and I think we need to be able to separate that out from the atrocities, like I say. The atrocities, yeah. That, I mean, I was just going to suggest that The Waitress' Christmas wrapping, that's a good one. Yeah, they're all excellent, but I mean they excellent. They're not all excellent, are they?
Starting point is 00:13:45 They're all excellent, but they are all... The John Lennon ones tedious. Uh... Which one's that one? Christmas... Is what Christmas Night War is over. Oh... Yeah, that was quite turgid, innit? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:58 But they weren't an old back then. They weren't an old turgidity. I think that if John Lennon was still alive now, he'd be genuinely problematic. Yeah, of course he is. He was doing that fucking... Fairgidity. I think that if John Lennon was still alive now, he'd be genuinely problematic. Yeah, of course he is. He'd be doing that fucking, he'd be doing the, ooh, affairs, honey. He'd be, ha! He'd probably, I reckon he'd be doing like silly walks and stuff. I'm saying it now, right? If John Lennon was alive now... I've got a few things to say about certain people who run the world, oh god.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Slightly undermined by the fact that he'd now be 82. Yeah. But I reckon he'd be doing a podcast with Jordan Peterson. Do you reckon? Yeah. He'd have, cause he's always had things to say about politics. He's always generic fashion. He's always done his own research. Yeah. 100%. Yeah. You call me, um, uh, and it wasn't, it wasn't Julian Lennon was it was, um, James McCartney. What? What about, you said, I, because, because the same energy, same energy without the famous dad. Did you see, he's pretty famous. Did you see the James, he is now. Did you see
Starting point is 00:14:53 the James McCartney video? No. So basically James McCartney's putting a record out. He's Paul McCartney's son. Yes. Okay. Yeah. He's sitting in the garden. Is he a bassman? He seems like he wants to be a guitar man on this video. He's a guitar man, right. But he's playing the guitar and it's bad. Is it called Primrose Hill? And he's singing and it's bad. No, but it's just a video that he did to camera on social. Oh, like, God, what was it?
Starting point is 00:15:19 Meet Freeman is you can't do it right now. Yeah, exactly. You're gonna find it. Just find it. It's not very long. You're gonna play it out. It's just that it's fine to be a man of a certain age playing the guitar, looking at it on a camera if it makes you happy and you enjoy yourself and all that kind of stuff. But he's clearly the son of one of the greatest songwriters
Starting point is 00:15:36 to ever live. Yeah. Well, he's, so he's joining up with Sean Arnaud as well. See, he's not helping himself, is he? The comparisons will be drawn, he's not helping himself is he? The comparisons will be drawn, won't they really I suppose? Yeah. But... Anyways, why did I call you James McHunny? I can't remember why I said that. I think I was in the hours after they caught the man who killed the healthcare CEO.
Starting point is 00:16:00 CEO. What a story that was by the way. Wow. It just keeps on rolling that one. He, I said 3D 3d printer enthusiast was he as too many reports obsessed with, um, having opinions about Japan and video games. And I said, and he's handsome. It's like, it's like the son I never had.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Yeah. Right. And you said, you're joking. Are you, you look like James McCartney. I know I said your side. I can't remember what I was trying to intimate but yeah I found the video do you want me to play it? Yes please. It's only 40 seconds. Alright stick it in there. Alright shove it in stick it in the hole then. Stick it all in there. And we'll give it a play. This is live we don't plan this show. A little Christmas
Starting point is 00:16:40 orcs cable fun. Here we go. Put some shoes on you hippie. It's just some shonky guitar work. Are you the guitarist in One Eyed Willie, so you've got some sandwich presumably. I mean, he's our vid, you shouldn't be looking at his fingers. You know what I mean? He's really concentrating there. So hang on, so that video was not him sort of doing a meet for him under there, it was just him having a little sing song in his garden. It's just saying, look, listen guys, I've got a new record coming out. This is the kind of thing you can expect.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I bought Attack of Mine. This is the kind of thing you can expect. Why does he need to do that? I know. Why has he got someone filming it? I don't mind if it's a static tripod, but when you see the movement you go, ugh. Someone else is involved. Someone knows that this is bad.
Starting point is 00:17:36 This is a dirty secret. This is a dirty secret. Look, let's take a break and ruminate on what James McCartney has done to himself and to us. And then when we come back, we will do some Christmas batteries. I say Christmas batteries, they're not really Christmas batteries, they're just batteries at Christmas. At Christmas. Peloton has thousands of classes built to push you. We know how life goes. New father, new routines, new locations. What matters is that you have something there to adapt with you, whether you need a challenge
Starting point is 00:18:11 or rest. And Peloton has everything you need. Whenever you need it. Find your push. Find your power. Peloton. Visit Peloton at OnePeloton.ca. It's the Luke and Pete show. I'm Pete Olsen, job member for Luke and Mo. at onepeloton.ca
Starting point is 00:18:29 It's The Luke and Pete Show, I'm Pete Olsen, job member Mr. Lukey Moore. Every Thursday, and Christmas is no exception, let me make that very clear, we talk about all things batteries that you've found inside your little bits of tat. Jason says, hello luxurious Luke and pontiferous Pete. I can't help but think that person has been listening to another podcast we do. This will be my second battery daddy submission. My first was luckily part of a three for three new players day back in July. I found these when I cracked open one of the eight new flashlights I purchased for myself over the Black Friday sales. Why do you? Yes. Why did you? I mean, still, why would you need so many of them? Why, why do you require so much illumination, Jason? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah. It reminds me of, it reminds me of when Alan Partridge has all those torches in the bicycle wheel. It's an office light. Remember that? No, I don't, but I like it. To put them all on manually. Um, yeah. Um, with much hope in my heart for a second, you play, I present to you the No Jing Alkaline, which also advertises themselves as 0.00% mercury and Cadmium. Didn't need the decimals there, did we? Good to know that. Keep us a good work with the podcast. Jason, Missouri, USA is Nojing Alkaline a new player?
Starting point is 00:19:37 No, it's not. Oh, Jason. They've been sent in twice before. Oh. On both occasions by a different man called Simon. Oh, Simon and.... Simon got there. Jason, I'm enjoying the photography. A lovely luxurious towel.
Starting point is 00:19:49 It's a slight sort of... I'm going to say like the sort of pile is kind of collecting in the bottom. Is it a rug? Could be a rug, couldn't it? A little bit too fine for a rug, surely. Maybe. Andrew, HiChap's South House Super Double A's.
Starting point is 00:20:04 New player, South House from a kids piano turtle toy for my son. Yeah I mean remarkably South House is a brand new player. South House! Congratulations to you Andrew. That's an amazing toy as well. Look a little turtle piano with just three keys on it. Three keys, well four keys I suppose. That's not a wet, hang on five. Oh well you're cleaning the black keys. I'm not cleaning the black ones surely. South House, it's a strong bit of work, I'm loving it, I'm loving the toy in general, well done. Well done to that person. What could you actually play with that many notes? It's probably just do re mi, do re mi re, do, mi, re, do, re, mi, re, do. What about the black keys?
Starting point is 00:20:47 I can't do that, I can't do sharp. Right, Alan. Alan! Good evening Luke, good evening Pete, my favourite undercut wearer. I looked up undercut and apparently it's been popular in the tens, forties, eighties and more recently now in the tens. Which is a damningly with fake praise because we're very much in the 20s aren't we? Well in many ways I could be seen as being a time traveller. Which begs the differ why society in this modern day finds it most repulsive that even a Turkish barber doesn't even know how to do it. The mind boggles.
Starting point is 00:21:14 He wasn't a barber. He wasn't a barber, yeah. Made that very clear. That was the main tenor of our argument wasn't it. Anyway, I was requested to change the batteries in my daughter's toy dog, woof woo dog, which you feed little toy treats and it poops them out. Very much like a real dog I've found. Hilarious, I know. I instantly rebuffed her request and this is something I'd say more and more these days. I'm not made of money. Three brand new Duracell AAAs for a toy that will get flung in a cupboard and not used again,
Starting point is 00:21:40 especially being this close to Christmas. I didn't want to have it condemned to a battery acid rusty death. But, like Pete, look at Pete, sorry, comes to mind, I thought fuck it, I'm earning a screwdriver and three new Gura Cells I fetched to see what juicy delightful brand new players this silly toy wouldn't cover. Inside I was met with a green and black guante cell. Or guante cell. I hope this finds you well, hope you have a lovely Christmas day and enjoy the family as we all have to do before we retreat to our own homes to be happy again. Lots of love from a PCD long-time listener and a Warner. That's another podcast. Keep the good work. Alan from a cold, frosty, but very sunny East Kilbride. It really is one of the better weather types. Yeah I
Starting point is 00:22:22 think so, that's right. You are not going to have a new player with Guante Sel I'm afraid, you're the 15th person to send those in Alan, so thank you anyway, appreciate the photo, appreciate the lovely PJs you've got on in front of the Christmas tree as well. It looks very relaxed. But you are not going to get another new player entering the game with that effort. Guante Sel is a no from me. Yeah and we really can't complain about people quoting other or using other devices from other podcasts because I've stolen so many things from
Starting point is 00:22:49 the same podcasts. Have you? Okay. Right so there we go that was our batteries for another week. Should we do an email follow-up? Let's do an email follow-up for crying out loud. Something we spoke about a week or two ago. It's from Roberto. Roberto from Little, what was it? Little, no it's Domingo, isn't it? From Little Oakley. Roberto is he of the Nugget Power Hour. Wow. Quick reminder, here with his mate, 60 Nuggets, one a minute for an hour. Chicken McNuggets of course from McDonald's. There were a lot of questions about it. Why do it? How does it work? How did you feel? Et cetera. Robert's been back in touch.
Starting point is 00:23:25 He says the following, hello again. I wanted to reach out and clarify some of your questions from the pod. Uh, he's listed two, four, six, eight bullet points. Read the nugget power hour, which I'm going to read out to you now. Point number one, we kept the nuggets warm by tossing them in the oven at the keep warm setting. So we had no cold nuggets. Oh, point number two dips are useful to break up the flavors and the keep warm setting so we had no cold nuggets. Oh. Point number
Starting point is 00:23:45 two dips are useful to break up the flavours and to keep things moving. We actually use dips from various fast food restaurants to keep it interesting. I had a roast dinner yesterday and I put some KFC spicy mayonnaise on the chicken. Oh fuck. I had some in the fridge and I thought you know what. Is anyone else in the house? Why not? Sarah was in the house, I don't think she noticed. Blitzed on red wine she was. She's going to know now. Point number three, the Arizona iced tea was my strategy to break up the saltiness of the
Starting point is 00:24:14 nuggets. However, the sweetness of the mango flavor was too thick and I switched to water pretty quickly. Point number four, waiting a minute was difficult at first since we starved ourselves that day to make space. But later on, a minute feels like seconds. Yeah, I bet. Point number five. You do need that vinegar out that's supposed to sort of break it.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Could you eat something in between? Would that be crazy? What do you mean? Like an arctic rock? Just carry on eating like normal in between. Oh, what? To keep it good? Right, okay. It'd be half an hour, isn't it? What am I talking about? Point number five, you can drink as much as you want, but it does take up stomach space. There needs to be a strategy behind your sipping. The last ten or so nuggets were taken with water like giant pills just to get them down.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Point number six. Would milk not be a little heavier? Like the hot ones. Hot ones are used like milk and yoghurt, don't they, stuff? To smooth it down. Ramsey was just housing Pepto-Bismol. Pepto-Bismol and burping like a pig. Point number six, the hundred shots of beer is the exact inspiration behind this. Our friends who didn't want nuggets did beer instead along with us.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Point number seven, the toilets were actually not needed. There seems to be not a lot of fibre in chicken nuggets. No, I imagine you didn't shit for days to be quite frank. Point number eight, and in my view the strongest point, we are both science teachers. So that explains the decor and our poor decisions. Could you not have like added, could you not have like got a Bunsen burner underneath one of the nuggets just to, I don't know, just to just to barbecue it a bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:36 That's what we say. Make it easier. I don't know. Roberto says, I hope you give it a try. I regret it the day after, but I've not regretted it since then. I'd love to know Roberto is also the only Roberto to listen to this show. I'm pleased it gives us quite a kind of exotic feel having a Roberto in the mix. There used to be a capitoline leader called Roberto and that was not his real name. Tell us more about it. He was once talking to Julio Iglesias' son, no, Enrique Iglesias, which was the young one. Yeah, Enrique, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Enrique is the young one. Enrique Iglesias and Enrique Iglesias. That's Enrique's the young onelesias. Which is the young one. Enrique is the young one. Enrique Iglesias. That's Enrique's the young one. He wasn't in the young one. No. Okay. He was sort of saying, no, Roberto, you must be from Italy. Like, so that's talking about that. And he goes, no, I'm not. They just gave me my name. And he was like, oh, okay. And then five minutes later he went, sorry, are you actually from Italy? And he went, no, the radio station's given me my name's Steve. What? That doesn't happen does it? That happens all the time. No but I know that
Starting point is 00:26:30 the bass man, he was never called the bass man before he joined Capitol Radio. I know DJOX give themselves names. I didn't know the station gave them a name. What did they give you then? I didn't have one, I didn't really have one. Dave Clifton.. But the one DJ got used to be called Rick Cutler and the PC from back in the day said that it sounded too Jewish. Now I would say that doesn't sound too Jewish but his new name was Rick Shaw hilariously which is silly. That's a silly name. That's problematic in many different ways. A huge name. I remember when I was at uni the first time around, I had a guy in one of my courses called Darren Broadbent. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:13 But obviously he felt like... BB Gun. That wasn't a great name for a radio DJ, for a DJoc. And he changed it to Darren Scott. Darren Scott, that is a very sort of late mid 90s radio DJ name. It's funny stuff, isn't it? Sometimes though you'd have radio stations where the DJ would be called, say, Dave Scott. And then when that person was off or when that person left that show, the DJ would be
Starting point is 00:27:41 given the name that the DJ had before. Do you know what I mean? So it was forever the Dave Scots show. That makes sense. It does make sense, but it's ridiculous. It's also really patronising to your listener. Really patronising the listener. And it's like, what are we here for?
Starting point is 00:27:55 Like what are we here for? Darren Scott himself was last seen, last seen I think in 2016 as a breakfast show presenter on Mix96 in Aylesbury. Oh, well there we go. Lovely part of the world. He was a guy, he was, I'm going to say two things in a row here that are going to make, they're going to sound completely, um, but they should be mutually exclusive. I quite liked him.
Starting point is 00:28:18 He was quite a nice man, but he also used to spend his break time reporting pilot radio stations. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's indicative of the type of people you're talking about. Talking about, yeah. They love radio. Yeah. And to be honest, if you're struggling against the rules of Ofcom, like why is some people better?
Starting point is 00:28:35 It's not the Ofcom version of saying, no, we want immigration. We just don't want illegal immigration. It's the radio equivalent of saying that for goodness sake, isn't it? All right, Peter, anyway, on that delicate note, let's get out of here. The next time we speak to our listeners, Peter, it will be Christmas week itself. It will be the 23rd on Monday. And I think we should do as many Christmas themed emails as we can for that episode. Or, the choice is yours.
Starting point is 00:28:59 We can do those on Boxing Day. It's up to you. All right. I'll decide when we get there. All right, do that. Bye. Bye.
