It's the Luke and Pete Show, it's Thursday, I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore and Lukey Moore is recording the show with his microphone propped up on a wee cup. Yeah, should we try this because the cable literally might fall out. No, I mean don't do that. Okay. Just don't worry. It's in a cup.

I was going to say hello to everyone. Nice to be talking to you again. I'm in the middle of house renovations at the moment. And so I'm in the different room of the house. That might be why I sound a little bit different. And I've got my mic propped up on a mug. The last time I had my mic propped up on a mug, it was in a hotel room in New York City with you, Pete Donaldson. But these mics

that we use are particularly good at sitting in an open mug. And the mug I've chosen to use today is the mug I got from the 2017 Straw Bear Festival in Whittlesea. Yes. Okay. So we talked about this before. That was like a festival. It's like a pagan festival. Pagan festival with a lot of imagery

you don't necessarily see these days. Well, some of it's been banned. Some of it's been banned. Oh, since you went? Okay. Yeah, because, so you've got to tread

very carefully here, but I'm just presenting. It's blackface. It's blackface. Basically, yeah. So they argue all this stuff about how, oh, well,

it's just a medieval tradition and it's to do with the fire and the soot from the fire. But ultimately, that's not really the point. So I think now, rightly or wrongly, and I don't have any kind of expertise in this area at all, but I think they now do green face to represent nature as a compromise. Okay, right, okay. face to represent nature as like a compromise okay right okay i can't help but think that it's uh i can't think that they are yeah i just don't just don't do it at all don't worry about it

they are marching a teenage boy dresses him in four bales of hay through the town before getting him out of it and setting fire to it and dancing around it though so i'm not gonna i don't want to use the phrase tip of the iceberg but there's a lot going on um yeah okay he's confusing at best but they still do it they still do the festival every year i think yeah but you still got the straw man running around you've still got him covered in straw i think that's pretty cool i like that i like i like that i like the look of it was when was it when um bob mortimer went on the darts and he he'd made like a carpet faced kind of mask do you remember and he had a big wall of carpet yeah it was a bit like that it looks a little bit like that i think i think we need more pagan imagery in our lives in 2028 and i think um that vick and bob would be the perfect

kind of absurdist um creators of a lot of this stuff because like you know those instruments that uh mulligan and o'hare used to play yeah on the smell of reason mortimer um like that kind of like big kind of like uh it looked like a big french horn but it had like little cow's teats uh that he would sort of tickle as he played it and stuff i think i think i would like to see I would attend those kind of festivals it's absolutely exactly the same energy and what you find is

I went there for a a thing a project thing and a little work thing at the time and

just to observe it and what became pretty because it goes on for a few days and it's a small town and obviously the whole of that community descend on it

but what you find is a lot of sounds like the darts it is a bit like that but they go to these people go to like every um one of these types of things around the country right so they see each of the same people so they're just talking about they're talking about what's happened to so-and-so and is he still playing with him and are they still morris dancing in the same troupe and right i mean it's very much the same energy as mulligan and o'hareare. So they're not talking about new advances in, I don't know,

mulberry bushes and stuff? I mean, there are very few new advances in anything going on in that kind of environment, I'll be honest with you. Have you heard what we're not allowed to do no more? Yeah, it's basically that, yeah. But do you know how men can just be tedious? So whatever the particular stripe of interest you have, whether it be playing video games or going to folk festivals or beer,

men are always just tedious about it at some point. They just get tedious. I remember sitting in a pub at this place where a bunch of guys were talking about whether that particular pub was storing a certain real ale as well as another pub. And it's like, come on. It's so boring. I go to a local pub near me, normally on a Friday on the way home from work,

if it's been a long week, I'll pop in there, I'll park up my little hire bike, I'll stand at the same part of the bar, I'll have one or two pints while reading the book or my phone or whatever and then i'll walk home and um we did it for a few months you know see the same people in there i don't really talk to anyone the landlord's a nice chap and the barman's really lovely so we chat to them or whatever but that's basically i'm not there to kind of make a big conversation. Barkeep, could I bother you for a flagon of et cetera, et cetera? Your richest, most foaming ale.

Use your flagon, barkeep. That's what I'm saying. I am a stranger. A traveller from Fairlands. Yeah, yeah. But there's a guy in there, right? And he goes there. He's normally in there about half an hour after I get there.

He turns up. And a couple of his mates half an hour after I get there he turns up and a couple of his mates obviously live over the by and he turns up and every single time he goes in there not in like a jokey way he complains about the price of the beer

right and he was in there yesterday and he was in there before and he just well he's in there every time I'm in there he's in there and so the landlord

I think by now is within his rights to say mate if you don't fucking like it just go somewhere else I'll have a beer at home yeah they're so cheap

at home but literally the landlord the last time I was in there was saying or the manager because it's like a chain thing he was saying

mate I don't set the prices I just punch it into the computer when they tell me to punch it into the computer and that's it

it's not up to me. Like, you can have a pint of Guinness. It's a bit cheaper. Or that pint over there is like 50p. And he's like, no, no, I'll have the same. And I don't want to make cast aspersions over the people from your part of the world, Peter, but he's a northern gentleman.

Northern gentleman, yeah. Is that there, London? I mean, it sounds very much like he's just a man who doesn't have access to a WhatsApp connection to his son. I mean, it sounds very much like he's just a man who doesn't have access to a WhatsApp connection to his son. I mean, my dad... Do a meme. Do a meme about it. My dad literally sent me a clip of talking... Is it talking pictures or moving pictures that Chandler really likes with the old 50s films?

Talking pictures, I think, yeah. Yeah, it always starts with the disclaimer. Different times. And he filmed... He literally sent me this yesterday at 1.53 in the morning. He was watching a film from the 60s, I think. Just got up, didn't he? Just got up.

Just got up. And he was watching one where a man goes in and a man is literally complaining about the price of the beer at two shillings. And he forwarded me a video of him filming the television going, two shillings, how much? As a little joke. Yeah.

But you can hear my dad like really heavily breathing in the background. Oh, that's a disappointment. At nearly two o'clock in the morning. Yeah. So that's what I'm subjected to. You've looked at that first thing after you've woken up as well. Yeah. So, yeah, the next two two he sent one he sent later

that day was a video something to do with the pfizer uh director um so like i i fear he may be getting into something that i'm not necessarily comfortable with there and uh and the uh and a piece about microplastics from the daily mail. A piece about what from the Daily Mail? Just a screenshot from his phone camera of a piece about microplastics from food packaging and being found in human blood vessels. Yeah, it's not good, that. Did you tell him about you almost drowning? I haven't, no.

No, I didn't, actually. I think that would worry my... I mean, I just know what I'd get. I'm not getting anything out of that really the thing is just getting criticism yeah my parents if i tell that if i told that story to my mum i think she knows that i love to tell a tall tale right so she would just roll her eyes and ask me what cup of tea or something and that would be that she didn't she wouldn't care to be honest i think i think my i think i think my dad being an able seaman might cast aspersions.

Well, professionally embarrassing for him. Exactly, yeah. Petty Officer Donaldson. The spawn of Petty Officer Donaldson. Can't do with a wave or two. Rubbish. I don't know how we got us talking about this, but the Straw Bear Festival,

it was interesting. It was like an interesting scene. Weird energy about it. Because you don't know where these people go. It's in Cambridgeshire, by the way. So it's like, if you get out towards the Fens, it does get a little bit bleakly flat. And I think it's interesting how certain people

from certain parts of the world are affected by the area they grew up in. Because when I was out in the West Country a year or two ago with the good lady wife that I've got access to, we stayed in a place near Dartmoor and we went for a walk during the day in a really quiet part of Dartmoor along this river. And we both independently felt so,

like it was so sinister that we just wanted to stop and go back to the car right what it just felt it didn't feel right the energy just felt really odd and my wife's a

woman of science right she's got good kinds of qualifications from good universities she's not she's a sceptic right she's not a vibe monster nah

she's if anything it annoys me how little she is open to the to the spiritual but I'm I'm someone as I said to you on Monday, I avoid the mystical wherever I can.

So I'm in the same boat. But it felt weird. And there's got to be something in that. There's got to be something in the human relationship to the environment that means, I'm not saying it's like aliens or whatever, but clearly we're biologically predisposed to pick up on these things because of danger and evolution and stuff like that.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, I think there must be something in our soul that kind of this kind of sixth sense of kind of like sniffing out danger and maybe that's kind of what you're feeling. There's some kind of like weird part of your brain that goes, there's something not right here.

Like when you cross the Real no because like when stepping into any body of water with me so um peter anyway um it's thursday today monday we spent most of the show talking about your near-death experience absolutely uh right and proper that we do have Have you had a chance, though, to see any of The Last of Us? I've not, no. And I have, after your protestations, I have managed to talk my partner around, who expressed the opinion that she was never against watching The Last of Us. Right. I just remember when we watched Suicide Squad, and she made me turn it off because she saw a lizard man or a moth man or something. Yeah.

And she just gave me a face that said, Peter, I'm not enjoying this because this is stupid. I already live with a moth man. I already live with a bloody moth man. Hey, do you know sloths? Do you know like sloths have their own moths living on them?

They've got their own little kind of microorganism party going on. So they've got this very specific moth that only lives on sloths, I believe. But sloths, two things, used to be fucking massive. They used to be like

six foot tall. Yeah, they used to be megafauna, yeah, I remember that. I don't remember it, but I've read that. I wasn't around in the Mesozoic period,

but I've read about that. And also, they're not exactly sure why they come down to do a shat. Oh, really? So they spend all their time in the trees,

slowly, but they only come down once every now and again to do a poo and nobody really come down so they spend all their time the trees slowly um but they only come down once every now and again to do a poo and nobody knows why it might be just a weird throwback that they haven't got over yet a bit of tradition but a genetic tradition uh or um they're not sure whether it might be that if they poo on the ground that the smell you know you're not you're not putting away your scent i suppose they might be that um it might be a million different things but they reckon that um yeah they reckon that they're not exactly sure why they climb down the trees to do a little poo-poo yes they have an exceptionally slow

metabolism don't they which is why they're so slow it's because they eat plants in it you can't get much um there's not much uh nutrients or power out of antagonizing the vegans mate i'm not going to meet vegans. I'm just saying that, like, if you're just eating leaves, it's just quite hard to get some pep in your steps. That's why you're just kind of very slow. No, but vegans don't walk around really slowly like sloths. Yeah, they're always walking really slow.

When you're trying to walk down the pavement, there's a bloke and he's walking really slow and you're like, get out of my way. And he goes, I can't help it, I'm a vegan. How do you know? How can you tell someone's a vegan? Oh this your funny joke we say that's because they tell you yeah yeah i'll tell you what so that joke's great because it's really universal it's not it's terrible but it's really flexible right so right you can normally use it about people who went to oxford or cambridge right okay yeah yeah and um so i was on a train going to meet my

now wife but at the time girlfriend in the us and i was traveling on my own going to visit her and i got allocated a seat on the train from whatever it was penn station or grand center in new york or whatever and um i got allocated a seat next to a woman uh and because america's a friendly she started talking to me and she told me that she was doing this that and the other and working and then she threw into that she went to Harvard right so I thought okay right I'll adapt that joke for Harvard right you can see how that all worked okay and I said oh how do you know that how do you know that people went to Harvard? How can you tell that people went to Harvard? Oh, they tell you.

And she was like, oh, okay. She didn't even know it was a joke. Right, okay, yeah, nice, yeah. And obviously what I've done there is I've done that five minutes into the journey. I should have ended with that. Then I can go. Yes, yeah, exactly, yeah. Anyway, see you later. And then off you go, back on your train to Penn Station.

So this never happened. That's what Rick Edwards famously did when he asked Jake Gyllenhaal that question on T4 about his sister. What did he say? What did he ask? So I think I'm right in saying, and I've spoken to Rick about this, so I'm pretty sure this is correct. And the reason I know about it is because my friend Duncan calls it the greatest moment in TV history.

Where on T4, will people know what T4 is? They probably will, won't they? It's like a youth television strand from the 90s to the mid-10s. Yeah. Rick said that he interviewed Jake Gyllenhaal live on Channel 4. And he said something like, and he had 15 minutes with Jake Gyllenhaal who was promoting his latest movie

and he said something like here's a deal for you you can be in a movie and put a performance in which people say is the best performance of all time like better than

Brando's and The Godfather you win every single award you're up for you get an Oscar and all the rest of it but you have to do a sex scene with your sister. I mean, it's a strong

sentence, isn't it? But Rick's done that as his first question. And he's got like 14 minutes to go. And Jake Gyllenhaal is fucking fuming. This is the iciest thing you've ever seen. I don't remember that.'s brilliant so did they manage to do the rest of the 15 yeah he gets through it yeah i asked rick about it a few weeks ago and he

was like yeah i shouldn't have done it so early in the interview oh lordy that's fantastic yeah it's quite quite an interesting quite quite what i would call a low percentage move like i've interviewed my fair share of like mostly footballers and ex-footballers and you really haveballers and you really have to earn the right to start asking that stuff. Yeah, and you've got to be and you've got to

know that it's going to land. I would sort of say there was a really good outtake from that Between Two Ferns thing and the guy, Zach Galifian guy Zach Galifianakis I really like that it's funny

Zach Galifianakis says to Don Draper who plays John Hamm John Hamm he says I see that Don Draper

your suit is up in the one of those big fucking museums the Smithsonian isn't it yeah it's the Smithsonian it's the Smithsonian he says

it's up in the Smithsonian and you're waiting for it and he goes right next to the cosby jumper yeah and just as he gets out he absolutely cracks up you've got to know that that is going to land you've got to know and the worst of those guests are the ones who just aren't but aren't they aren't they all in on it though they're all in on it but I think you've got they choose them very very well I think and some of them they try and add

too much in I think and it ends up a little bit like the Eric Andres show I would say but yeah you've got to know that they have chops

I would say and John Hansen Well you have to earn the right and sometimes you never earn the right No I've done interviews before with

I did an interview once with Bobby Zamora, who the club had requested us go down there. Yeah. And he knew it was happening. And they were doing it to promote, I think some kind, it was at Fulham,

and they were doing it to promote some kind of, I can't remember, some kind of promotion. And it's not Fulham's fault they were and remain a really lovely club they're great

but Zamora obviously just decided by the time that they came out he didn't want to know about it he didn't want to do it so I was in this preposterous situation

where every question I asked him he just gave me yes or no answers and we ended up not being able to use any of it and so sometimes

you never connect no I think I'm a big fan of the Manic Street Preachers. They're certainly their first three or four albums. It's an embarrassing thing to admit. It is. But you also like Pulp, which is strange. Let's park those.

Because they're excellent, man. They are, and I remember quite early on in an interview with Nicky Wire at probably V Festival or something backstage, I did say, well, you know, I mean, the first Mannix album, there's a lot of like Guns N' Roses style noodling on there, isn't there? And he said, I'll bloody tell James Dean Bradfield. I'll bloody tell James about that. And that was the first question, in the first or second question um and I'm and I got it back by the end just by my uh you know normal charm

dazzling charm yeah dazzling charm but um yeah it was it was a rocky few minutes you also have a massive pop at um that really old East London gangster as well oh mad Frankie Fraser no yeah it was mad Frankie Fraser yeah that was it? Yeah, which is quite brave. He was down a phone line, wasn't he? Oh, he was on the phone and he was about 80 at the time,

wasn't he? And he was about 80. I reckon I could have taken him. Probably connected though. You've got a reprehensible thug who's made profit after other people's misery. Something like that.

What did he say? Must be around somewhere. He just went quiet, I think. I just put the phone down. You thought I... Because it was one of the songs where it's like...

Oh, you put the phone down on an 80-year-old man? Pathetic. No, his little handler, his little book handler, the one who was advertising the book with him. We didn't want to do the interview, and I was like, well, we may as well piss about with it.

There's no point. I mean, he's a fucking dickhead, isn't he? What year was it, do you reckon? I reckon it was probably about 2006, maybe? Yeah, he was 82. Would you have taken him on in his prime? Is he still with us? No, he's died 10 years ago.

He was 82 in 2006. Do you think he's still with us? When I was on my holiday, I was reading Hacksaw Jim Duggan, his autobiography. A man who, actually, was it autobiography? The way you just toss out sentences that they're totally normal. Hacksaw Jim Duggan's biography. And he was, it just made me laugh because it was like, it's just, hearing a man who's like, he's had cancer so many times, three or four times,

and he's defeated it every time. And he's this massive fucking dude, absolutely huge. We met him at WrestleMania. His hands were gigantic. His hands were bigger than your head. Fucking hands, yeah. And it was just a story about him just missing out on being a professional footballer and a professional NFL guy

and just sort of sashering into wrestling and his life. And like most wrestlers' autobiographies, it was just like kind of a man in later stages of life just kind of settling scores left, right and centre. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's known as being one of the nicer blokes in wrestling and it was a relatively easy read. It was a wrestler's autobiography.

But at one point it made me laugh because he went, yeah, and so when we were wrestling in London, I was taken to Stringfellows, which, if you're not familiar, is like Studio 52, the New York club. Studio 54. Studio 54. Studio 54. It's like Studio 54 would have been in the 80s or the 70s.

And that's all he said about it. And I was going, is he just trying to get that past his wife? He just talked about an actual strip club like it was just some night club. I'm going, that's a strip club. You're a disgrace. People go, oh, yeah, I love going to Hooters, the chicken wing. The wings and the fries in there

are great. Oh, it's like Studio 54, you know, guy, woman, it's all disco. Disco, yeah,

brilliant. Very odd. Peter, what else? Because I've read Ted DiBiase's autobiography and it's basically just like 300 pages

of how much he hates his dad. Right, okay, yeah. I mean, I guess he was a second-generation wrestler, wasn't he? Was his dad a wrestler? Yes, well, a lot of them are, aren't they? When I had to be cleaned out ahead of the renovation, I had some books that I no longer wanted. And surprisingly, Million Dollar Dream,

the Ted DiBiase autobiography, I think it's called. That went. That went in a box outside the house. Please take! Exclamation mark. And I give it like a week outside the house.

The people that take it, I walk it down to the charity shop. Did it go? It went. Many didn't. Hey, free. Every man has his price.

Yeah, a load of distant relatives who'd be, exactly, a load of distant relatives who only really know me as someone who supports the football team Portsmouth. Just send me Portsmouth books

all the time. And I don't need them or want them. And so I put them outside. They hardly ever go because I think it's probably quite a low percentage play, isn't it?

A Pompey book outside a house in West Norwood is not going to go down that well. You'd have to really like, and even if you walk past a house with a load of Pompey stuff, you'd be like that's

you don't see that every day but I'm not picking up a single one of them no exactly and speaking of which Portsmouth's reputation has never been lower because our

our renovation guys our builders the bigger boys in the house at the moment they're from Moldova oh right yeah and the main guy I was just

I made him a coffee the other day and he was just just shooting the shit in the morning and he asked me what football team I supported and I said Ports day and he was just shooting the shit in the morning. And he asked me what football team I supported. And I said Portsmouth. And he literally took about five seconds to think about it

and then just went, you are the only one, no? And I was like, it feels like that sometimes, yes. It does feel like that sometimes. People should take a break because we've got to go away and come back again because we need people to listen to the advert so that we get paid.

Then when that's done, we'll do batteries because we've got a lot of batteries to get through we haven't done them for ages and there's a battery um there's a battery controversy i think contained within so stick around for that watch out we're back with the new pete shaw i'm pete donaldson i'm joined by my iron shake to my um You've not thought about this, have you? I'm trying to think of the scene where... You could have said Shawn Michaels to Marty Janetti if you wanted. Well, yeah, I guess so. But the story in particular was of the wrestler I mentioned before the break

being in a car with the iron shake and the iron shake had about four grams of cork on him and they got in loads of trouble, not necessarily because of the drug abuse, just because of the fact that Iron Shaker was a bad guy and Hacksaw Jim Duggan was a good guy. Therefore, you know, breaking KFAB and letting everyone know. Yeah, so, I mean, what are you trying to say

by calling me the Iron Shaker in that scenario? I'm just saying that you're being taken advantage of by someone who tweets for you. That true in your dotage that's regularly true actually yeah regularly true uh peter there's an email under the battery um section of our little piece of paper from ray would you like to read it it's a shame about ray ray would make a really good good name for a uh for a battery i think just rare my friend uh willie's son's called ray and he's a lovely kid solid and um you don't see it you don't hear of enough rays around these days i don't think hey good pete unfortunately i'm gonna have to power up the

pedantry and pull the rug out from under andy from geelong's dickie power new player submission on the don't blame the atomic wedgie episode in In the dark days of July 2020, I actually submitted Dickie Power batteries and had them read out as a new player on the A Friendship of Mountains episode. July 21st in 2020, after the ad break, really at the peak of COVID. They were even the exact same AA 800 milliamp hour ones that Andy sent in. This was a time when the battery

segment had died down to almost nothing and I was happy to think my contribution helped keep the pilot light just burning enough so that it would become the spectacular feature it is today. I don't mean to tread on other listeners new player hopes but one must cling to these little wins in life when they come. Being an Australian myself living in Canberra he can curse me as a bloody pedantic Canberran bureaucrat he'll know what I mean to be fair I am being rather pedantic and I definitely deserve it thanks as always for the good times this podcast brings to so many all the best to you and those you have access to for 2023 rare beautifully written email poorly read out by me but look what have you got to say about that then I think we just got to we can't realistically remove a person's

rights to be a new player so I think I think I think Andy needs to be an honorary player and I think Ray needs to be rightly instated

as a new player entering the game into the Hall of Fame I think that's the only way we can do it really we're a broad church here so we've got to be kind yeah

you gotta be cruel to be kind in the right that yeah i'd say that i think i mean was it did you just sort of type in the the words dickie power but without the oh it's a very sophisticated system we've got i'll let people behind the curtain you read them out i hurriedly tap them into the search function on google mail which by the way is crap these days and then if i don't see anything i'm in there i'll call it a new player all right but like i said it's a broad church because i think you know there's no

downside to being in it and there's no you know we want as many people in it as possible we're not trying to make it exclusive you know we're approaching it the same way boris johnson approaches you know um peerages give them to anyone fucking get in there. Hand them out for crying out loud. All right then, let's have some battery submissions. Well, let's hope we get this right. Hello to Martin, back once again for a shot

on the greatest battery game of life, GT Pioneer. Take it from the back from scale, update on the weight in other attachments. Replacement was the humble Panasonic zinc carbon from Home Bargains will update further progress in the lost and found batteries

and belly fat game. So we're looking at the first of the third, sorry, the third of the first, what would that have been? Would that have been last year, I suppose? I just don't know what you're talking about, Peter. Well, connected to the GT Pioneer batteries, he's also appended a loss and gain chart

for how much belly fat he's lost. Oh, good on him. Good on him. Okay, I can see that now. Okay, so he's lost 8.4 pounds since the start of the year. Congratulations. That's very, very good. Good for you.

Right, okay. Well done, Martin. I've got more good news for you as well. Your battery is as well. The GT Pioneer is a new player. So there's a new player entering the game. Lovely stuff. Notwithstanding the

possibility that someone angry might email in later saying that they did it first but i can't see anyone that has so it's a new player martin congratulations all round to you maybe to celebrate martin you could work out how much um battery weight you're losing every single time that's a really nice way of doing it try and work up to a del if you can. Jason Piazza. Hello, Luke and Pete. I found these while assembling an exercise bike for my 100-year-old what? A 100-year-old grandfather's birthday. He still rides actual bikes as well.

100 years old and he's cutting about on a BMX. That's amazing. Really nice to see. He's sent us a picture of the battery. I want to see the picture of the battery granddaddy, for crying out loud. Hopefully, these GL-born Ultra AAA cells are new He sent us a picture of the battery. I want to see the picture of the battery granddaddy, for crying out loud. Hopefully. These GL-Borne Ultra AAA cells are new players. Fantastic stuff.

Jason Piazza. I'm imagining an older Italian gentleman riding a bike around. That's what's in my head anyway. It's a lovely looking cell as well, isn't it, Pete? It is. And it's in a little package. They're not even out of the packaging yet, which is nice. Yes, great to see.

They're new players as well. JL Bone Ultra Triple A's are brand new players. Unbelievably, we're still finding them every week. That's a new player. I've never seen that one before. It's not in the inbox. Welcome aboard, Jason. Thanks, JL Pat.

Afternoon, gentlemen. one before it's not in the inbox welcome aboard jason thanks jay pats uh afternoon gentlemen i am the nominated electronic person in the family so i had to step up i set up a fire stick in my parents spare room the ocell came from a tv remote which i don't think has been used since my sister moved out six years ago regards martin or cell alkaline are these a new player luke yeah they are again and this is the same martin that sent the first one in he just sent this email in five days before the man's a battery fiend and we pulled this out without even noticing for crying out loud that's fantastic it's the same guy unless there's another martin mckinnis guy it's the same guy great stuff well maybe that's what his surname used sorry about that if you don't sorry martin uh we'll call you or sell alkaline uh or sell battery martin from now on fantastic stuff yeah that's it um yeah just a great round some you know correcting some some

writing some wrongs and then just you know hurtling towards a load of batteries fantastic it's uh It certainly is. The thing that always surprised me about, I took my Amazon Fire Stick to Costa Rica with me because I wanted to watch the Newcastle match. And the thing that always

surprised me about the batteries is they've got one of those kind of like battery compartments where you have the batteries both the same side up. Way around.

If you know what I mean, yeah. But I think a lot of people, a lot of companies are starting to do that now. don't know why i know it's crazy isn't it absolutely what would be the reason for that is there any reason no i just think it looks cool this looks cool doesn't it but there's no advantage to it i don't know but some of you tell me i'm sure it just looks cool they've figured out a way of doing it i don't know maybe it just looks tired yeah this looks cool all right let's get out of here peter we hope people have a lovely weekend we will see them again on monday hopefully we'll get through a good amount of emails on monday because they're
