Starting point is 00:00:00 ulcer burns sprain uh scrape trauma wound i'm just playing Wordle, but entering things that are wrong with me. Just using words from my body. It's a five-letter word only. Too many letters. Too many letters. It doesn't matter, mate. It doesn't matter. This is the Luke and Pete Show.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Welcome to the show. If you're unfamiliar, we just talk about nonsense for half an hour every Monday and Thursday. And we're happy with that. And you know what? Some of you are as well, unbelievably. Our listeners help us, don't they, with their emails? Our listeners help us. If you haven't with their emails? Our listeners help us. If you haven't listened to Thursday's episode,
Starting point is 00:00:48 one of the emails is just about a bloke getting stuck in a lift. Exactly. But did he get stuck in the lift with Jay-Z? I did go on the Getty Images website to try and find pictures of Jay-Z leaving or entering Capital Radio. Oh, how did you get on? Couldn't find a single one. What's that about then?
Starting point is 00:01:02 Yeah. Has he never entered or left Capital Radio? Very bizarre. One thing that was actually very surprising about that incident if you haven't listened to that episode it's on thursday the one's just gone um the one thing actually was surprising about that and for those of you who you know are tragic enough to care about capital radio even now um you'll be surprised probably to hear there's an unmarked back entrance to capital radio where all the famous people used to come in and out of do you remember yeah you could you could use it yourself if you wanted to go the other way and they were almost certain all you know invariably go out and in through that door but jay-z went out the front door in the middle of leicester square
Starting point is 00:01:35 it was probably because he wanted to be photographed or there was something to promote or something like that but yeah it was one of the only times i've seen that happen i remember um being in the back of where the back door was um someone set up for a feature set up a um the band really did actually um they set up a big mechanical bull uh and put me on the back of it no no no no it was much earlier than that um the uh i was on the back of this mechanical bull singing songs with the guitar um for a radio feature how long i'd be able to how many uh verses of uh i think it was who was that little he was from essex it was a little chubby boy
Starting point is 00:02:18 um and he was like he had one song he had one song. And it was like a guitar acoustic song. And it sounded a little bit like, it sounded a little bit like Badly Drawn Boy, but it wasn't Badly Drawn Boy. It was something boy, I think. Okay. And I had it in my head. And now I've absolutely forgotten.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Just as we got to the point where I had to remember it. So apologies for that. What were you doing and why? I don't know. I had to sort of sit on the back of this mechanical bull for some bloody reason, sing a couple of verses of this fella's music and basically the bloke who was operating the mechanical bull
Starting point is 00:02:58 would just randomly try and jerk me off, so to speak. And then I would just sort of near enough fall off. You could have phrased that better. I don't know what the radio feature was for. I don't think I was getting paid any extra for it. jerk me off, so to speak. And then I would just sort of near enough fall off. I don't know what the radio feature was for. I don't think I was getting paid any extra for it. It was just the jerks of a breakfast radio show assistant, I suppose. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Would you say your career's improved since then? Probably not. That's sad. You must have some warm memories of that. I remember once just being in the office at Capital Radio and looking over behind my shoulder,
Starting point is 00:03:31 because I heard someone speaking, just Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer was just there. I've got a story about him, but I can't tell it on air. I was about to say, he's probably been cancelled by now, I would have thought. Nah.
Starting point is 00:03:44 No, he's too clever. Didn't he used to be the mayor of New York? Am I being stupid? He had some kind of exalted position in politics, didn't he? Mayor of something. I think he was governor of New York. No, it wasn't New York,
Starting point is 00:03:57 I'm being stupid, but he doesn't seem like a Texas kind of guy. Might have been Cincinnati, maybe. I think he's from around there, isn't he? Cincinnati, right, okay. Yeah. But yeah, that was what was weird about working there, because you go from living where, kind of guy he seems more like cincinnati maybe i think he's from around there right okay yeah um but yeah he's just that was what was weird about working there because you go from living where we where we're from and you move to london you get a job and all of a sudden you're in an office and
Starting point is 00:04:13 jerry spring isn't that's just quite weird i know it sounds like a name drop but i'm not trying to do it in a name dropping way yeah yeah it's but it's always like the weird what the the crap ones are the best because it's like I'm sat down and hard five have asked to use one of the computers and they just sat checking their emails but they're all
Starting point is 00:04:31 huddled round all three of them they're kind of huddled round one computer I mean they're probably probably doing data entry now the way you're going
Starting point is 00:04:39 you'll be lucky to have a job working with computers but they're just all crowded around one computer next to me and they're just tapping away, looking at their emails or whatever, all together.
Starting point is 00:04:48 That era was... One email, a box between them. That era was really fucking interesting, wasn't it? Because the main guy in Half-Life, for example, Richard Archer, I remember his name. He was like... Yeah, he did have eyebrows. Around kind of whenever it would be,
Starting point is 00:05:04 when that record that he put out came out. Yeah. What year would that be? Maybe, I don't know, like 2005? Say around then? He is getting linked, literally, mate. He is getting linked with being in a relationship with Scarlett Johansson, right?
Starting point is 00:05:22 You're right. Okay, yes, yes. Scarlett Johansson in London, filming a right. Okay, yes, yes. Scarlett Johansson's in London filming a movie. I think it was a Woody Allen movie. And all of a sudden, I was like, yeah, Richard Archer and a half-ife. Now, I'm not saying it was true.
Starting point is 00:05:32 It wasn't true or whatever. Fine. Great. But that's a pretty high watermark for someone's career if they're in the entertainment industry, right? Yes. Where is he now?
Starting point is 00:05:42 I'm not criticising him. I'm genuinely asking the question, what is he doing now? Well, I think he had a band, like a glam rock band, I want to say, kind of like an electro glam rock band for a while. I know he's front man of that for a couple of songs, but I don't think it really sort of took off.
Starting point is 00:05:57 So I don't know. He's probably just in, probably just works for a record company somewhere, I reckon. Because I know, I'll tell you that I'm fairly not good friends but I used to live near and see on the train
Starting point is 00:06:09 every day and became friends with one of the guys for Towers of London have I told you that maybe maybe and he's a TV producer now
Starting point is 00:06:17 he's doing alright he's having a good time he's fine he's got normal hair he's got normal hair you wouldn't know who he was now nice fella Patrick
Starting point is 00:06:25 but wait Towers of London were a kind of band where everyone was like Jesus fucking hell have you seen what Towers of London
Starting point is 00:06:30 had done but they were just kind of like they were like they were kind of like they were just like naughty YouTube boys really weren't they
Starting point is 00:06:39 before naughty YouTube boys it was a bit like that before YouTube was properly a thing yeah it was a little bit anyway golden youtube was properly a thing yeah yeah it was a little bit um anyway golden years pete i'm sure you can agree golden years can i ask you something real quick have you um are you a man who um partakes in the old six nations rugby uh no i don't understand it um even at world cups i pretend that i know i'm what's happening and i don't really it's all
Starting point is 00:07:06 just it's all just noise to me to be honest it really does pass me by very easily i because i think that people who are into rugby or profess to be into rugby yeah i don't have confidence that they even know the rules you reckon because i'm a bit of a stickler for that kind of stuff aren't i yeah and and i don't i reckon a lot of rugby fans don't really know what's happening as in like what when they suddenly do like a line out and and then the referee i mean the referee knows what what's going on and he basically because they're mic'd up aren't they so they they basically tell us what's going on. They're mic'd up, aren't they? They basically tell us what's going on half the time. What they're not going to stand for, what they're going to stand for.
Starting point is 00:07:50 If you don't like it, don't like how I'm refereeing the game, go and play soccer, okay? Go and play soccer. Pete, explain to our American listeners what rugby is. Just give them a couple of sentences on how you would describe it to them. It's NFL, but without the halftime shows and the veterans. No, they love the veterans. Rugby love the veterans, don't they?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Do they? I don't know. I think it's a very military tradition, isn't there? Yeah, I don't know. It's confusing, isn't it? Yeah, all right. Okay, well. No armour, no padding.
Starting point is 00:08:22 No armour, no padding. Yeah, Legion of Doom before they were Legion of Doom. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of that, you know, there's a movement to stop England fans singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot. Do you know that? No. Because it's a slave spiritual.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Oh, is it? Right, I see. It's sung by slaves on the plantation and stuff. Well, I'm sure the fans will be like I'm sure the fans will probably just agree with
Starting point is 00:08:52 this and sort of go at them every way and never do it again because rugby fans are always
Starting point is 00:08:57 really decent aren't they yeah they'll probably understand why it's being said why it's being
Starting point is 00:09:04 changed and just get on with it. The only difference between those kind of rugby fans and those kind of football fans, there's three differences, right? One, the accent. Two, they drink Guinness instead of lager. And three, they have their collars turned up. That's the only difference. Jeans and shoes?
Starting point is 00:09:24 Oh, big time. mean okay so you can extrapolate the collar point out to fashion generally right okay yeah yeah a pair of like boot cut blue jeans with like a pair of like loafers yeah that's the look right that's a vibe pink shirt upturned collar tucked in yes beautiful that when i worked when i worked at betfair back in the day, there was a kind of internal rule I had with myself, which was, because you know me, I would just basically just,
Starting point is 00:09:51 I would just try and get away with whatever I get away with, right? Which, you know, isn't a great way to be, but I wanted to be doing my own thing, which is what we're doing now, which is great. It's fine. But anyway, the little internal rule I had was that if the person who was telling me to do something had his shirt tucked in, he was probably important enough for it to get me in trouble if I didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Right, okay, yeah, yeah. If they didn't, I wouldn't do it. Right, that's nice. And they co-sisted me in good stead. I never got in trouble. Yeah, that's not bad, actually. Yeah, that's a good point. When it gets to a certain level of management, they'll tuck their shirt in, you see.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Right. Because they won't wear suits and stuff now because it's too kind of oh no i'm like one of you guys you know right and they just so they just wear shirts because i because i i've recently gone and bought a load of shirts because none of my shirts fit me because i'm a fat person now yeah and uh and i'm loving i'm loving life to be honest it's brilliant i'm having a great time. Less to worry about. Listen, mate. I think everyone of a certain age listening will recognise this. I know this is going to become almost like fuelled with a certain amount of pejorative feeling, but don't.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Don't take it that way. You've given up. I have given up. And don't smell like it. Yeah, absolutely liberating, yeah. So imagine, Pete, so you've tapped into it. You've touched a nerve there. You've tapped into something.
Starting point is 00:11:11 And I'll just present this to you in return. Imagine working really, really hard and getting to a stage where you can actually afford to do some quite nice things, right? And we've got to that stage. Don't need to go into detail, but that's happened. So what I thought I'd do is I thought, I'm going to go and have a couple of suits made. Right?
Starting point is 00:11:27 Okay. Have a couple of suits made. It'll be a nice thing. They'll last forever. It's a really great investment in myself. If I need to go to a nice meeting, I'll go to a wedding. I'll look nice.
Starting point is 00:11:35 It'll be great. It'll make me feel good. Ask me how many times I've been able to wear any of the suits I've had made. Oh. Because I'll give you a clue now. With one of them, it's fucking none. Because COVID happened,
Starting point is 00:11:50 and now I'm fucking fatter than I've ever been. Oh, right, okay. So is it a three-piece suit? Because, I mean, obviously, with the vest, with the waistcoat, I mean, there's just no chance with those. I've given up ever wearing a waistcoat, ever. What part of you looks at someone of my physical profile and thinks, that man's going ever wearing a waistcoat ever what part of you looks at someone of my physical
Starting point is 00:12:06 profile and thinks that man's gonna wear a waistcoat that's gonna wear a three-piecer a waistcoat for people who could dress like you dress like it was slim and double-breasted nowadays i've got a double-breasted suit which is great for a big big unit because it looks really good double-breasted uh it's a double i like a double-breasted waistcoat with a single-breasted suit i think i like i like that look the problem is pete i'm also now almost a double-breasted waistcoat with a single-breasted suit. I like that look. The problem is, Pete, I'm also now almost a double-breasted man. There's not really an awful lot I can do. Yeah, it's not ideal, is it?
Starting point is 00:12:35 Again, but I don't know. I mean, if I am seriously ill with my stomach, I mean, I'm probably going to lose some weight, so I'll probably be able to pick up those suits once again. on the way up one of the way down yeah and they do build in when they make you a suit they do build in a certain amount of room yeah so i've also been to the tailor and said and i've had the old um don't worry about it sir happens to the best of us sir don't be silly sir that's what it's there for sir just let this out fucking three inches so you can put it on the um the but i bought one from my only saville rose suit uh uh one one um kind of makey up uh suit um they made me the waistcoat and they fucked it and and
Starting point is 00:13:20 so like it wasn't tall enough on the front because obviously the back is a different fibre, a different material to the front. And so instead of remaking, when I got the fitting, instead of remaking the whole thing, they just basically extended the back felt to the front so it looks like the waistcoat starts around my nipple. It's so shit it was
Starting point is 00:13:46 if i saw you wearing that i would think he's chosen to do that it's just absolutely mental absolutely man can i just say and i wasn't there when this happened but i know the company you're talking about and i know the owner and he's always been great to me and i think he's got a great reputation now i'm not saying he hasn't made a mistake or something's not gone something's gone wrong or whatever but i think that the person you are exacerbates that, because I bet you just didn't say anything. Didn't say anything. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:10 See, how are they going to know if you don't tell them? It's like a bad haircut. Well, a bad haircut is tough, because it's difficult to sit there and say, you've fucked my hair up and there's no remedy for this. No one's going to say that. The waistcoat, it's like, fine, sorry about that. We'll just get another remedy for this. No one's going to say that. The waistcoat, it's like, fine, sorry about that. We'll just get another one for you. After a bad haircut, they sort of go,
Starting point is 00:14:28 can I put some gel in? You go, yeah, fine. I mean, I'm going to go home and just wash my hair anyway because this is a fucking disaster. What's the worst haircut you've had? Remember we had this conversation where you said you wouldn't complain about the price unless it was over 200 quid.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Yeah, I've kind of changed my uh changed my policies what's the worst haircut you've ever had um i think i went into um in the late 90s and asked for a um freddie youngberg um that was astonishingly bad i mean i mean the the general effect was uh it was poor it was absolutely poor did you get did you get it died as well didn't get it died no no no but but that we have the same widow's peak so the hair if if nothing else looked slightly similar but it didn't look good on me because i'm not a handsome model um when i i'm not going to name the person because i know them um personally and i don't think it would be fair and this was years ago and they're still in the in the trade so i'm sure they're doing a great job now
Starting point is 00:15:27 but someone cut my hair once who was quite newly qualified and they came to the house i was living my parents at the time they did it and uh it was a disaster and i kind of styled it out by saying oh yeah it's fine they're great no worries and then um i just basically wore a hat for the rest of the day and as soon as they left my house, I called up the local salon and got booked
Starting point is 00:15:48 in for the next day and got it sorted. So it happens to the best of us, mate. Anyway. I'm trying to find a,
Starting point is 00:15:56 trying to find a blooming tweet from a mate, Gav, because he, he basically was saying the, was saying that he'll happily
Starting point is 00:16:06 just go into a barber's and point with a picture of like Ryan Gosling and go one of them please
Starting point is 00:16:13 that's mad there's a thing about Ryan Gosling that people boys on the internet get really obsessed with do you remember there was that phenomenon
Starting point is 00:16:21 of everyone dressing like his character in the film Drive yes I remember the jackets the jackets absolutely fucking terrible so tragic here we go gav murphy uh my superpower is being able to show my barber the wildest reference photos without being embarrassed i'll take in pictures of clooney jackman tom hardy and with a straight face be like hi that's right better get choppered because that's how i want to look when i get out of here.
Starting point is 00:16:46 But I think Gav Murphy is, I know him and he's quite a handsome fella. He is quite, he's got a beautiful beard and great hair. He's got a great look. Strong hair,
Starting point is 00:16:56 strong looks. He looks like he's got, this is purely based on his social media, he's got a lovely marriage, he's got a lovely little dog. Kraken. He looks great.
Starting point is 00:17:04 He's a three-legged fella, Coco. Yeah, so, I think he can pull that off actually. you've got a lovely marriage you've got a lovely little dog Kraken little three legged fella Corko beautiful little I think he can pull that off actually I'm going to support him on that anyway let's have a quick break when we come back
Starting point is 00:17:12 we're going to do some emails we've got a great animal attack story which we asked for a couple of weeks back and we've got some other bits and pieces as well so that's something
Starting point is 00:17:19 to look forward to don't go anywhere after the break we'll come back and do some of your emails lovely and we're back with the Luke and Pete show forward to don't go anywhere after the break we'll uh come back and do some of your emails lovely and we're back with the luke and pete show uh luke before we go to the emails did you see um the the singer-songwriter sam fender um leaving um a taxi in uh in in north shields
Starting point is 00:17:38 no uh to walk into a pub uh absolutely leathered um but the first thing he does when he walks out is he's got a Brit award in his hand and he smashes it into a big piñata of Boris Johnson that's classic it's a good look, it's a good move he's a good lad the only thing I know about him is that
Starting point is 00:17:59 he sounds a bit like Bruce Springsteen and a few of my friends think he's rubbish I think he's good because he sounds like Bruce Springsteen, and a few of my friends think he's rubbish. I think he's good because he sounds like Bruce Springsteen, and I think he's solid because he, you know, wasn't rich like every other fucking singer-songwriter. It's a phenomenon now of kind of singer-songwriters who are just normal, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi, capaldi jerry yeah but i mean but i think i think with like your sheerans and your tom odell's and stuff you know they are george ezra's and stuff like they seem like they they probably could have survived um like you know they could kind of afford to have a music career and i think with sam fender um he you know last time i interviewed him um he said that you know the only reason why he's got a career is because his manager uh or the person who took a chance on him is a person who made a load of money off another artist and and if that manager didn't have that money he wouldn't have had the money to um support sam in his musical endeavors so uh it's uh itours. So it is a different world
Starting point is 00:19:06 I think when you've... I think Ezra and Odell are both quite middle class. If you'll forgive me, that's why I didn't name them. Oh right, okay, fine. I named ones that I thought seemed quite normal. Sheeran's quite a normal kind of... Anyway,
Starting point is 00:19:21 maybe middle class is normal these days. Maybe I'm middle class. Who cares? Yeah, that's great stuff from um from old fender fender good lad yeah um hello at luke and peach.com is the email address this is the portion of the show we do start to read through a couple of your emails pete there's an email here from our pal um matt about um an animal attack i think you should read it because you know what i bloody enjoyed the way you read the last email we did on oh thanks Oh, thanks mate. I mean, looking at it, it does mean I've got to say the word Droitwich. Is it Droitwich?
Starting point is 00:19:50 Is that how you pronounce that? Is that how you pronounce that? That's amazing. I just don't really know what that is. Anyway, Matt, prior to moving to Australia, I used to live in the small town of Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire. He's just told me where it is. That's in the Midlands, yeah. Where me and my friend spent most of our misspent youth
Starting point is 00:20:06 getting up to the usual crap you would expect in a small mundane town such as Droitwich. Back in around 2002, I'd just returned from a holiday with my parents and went out to meet some of my friends late at night to hang out and more than likely smoke some weed. We were casually sat on a bench on the outskirts of our local park when a rambling man and his dog came wandering up to us. As we were about to dismiss him and walk off, he proceeds to tell us with a shaky voice
Starting point is 00:20:28 not to go into the park. Questioning why this is, the now quite visibly shaken up man tells us that he's just had a fight off a big black cat that had just attacked his dog. Now, this is not something you'd expect to hear someone say in England, but it was at this point that the man flips over his hand
Starting point is 00:20:42 and shows us a deep cut from one side of his palm to the other. He then turned to his dog and shows us a deep cut from one side of his palm to the other. He then turned to his dog and showed us a massive wound on its back roughly around 8 to 10 centimetres in length where this mystery animal
Starting point is 00:20:51 had gone for his dog. After a short while the man wanders off. It was about this point that we thought the best thing to do in this situation was to be going on
Starting point is 00:20:58 a Jumanji style hunt and find this animal because quite frankly what the fuck else is there to do in this town? I ran one street around to my parents house grabbed a massive torch around 100 000 lumens and went back to my friends uh we set off across the park each with a large panther defending stick in our hands within 200 250 meters or so we bumped into another group of our friends who said that
Starting point is 00:21:21 they heard a loud scream from within the park, presumably the man who was attacked. We relayed what had just happened to our friends, which piqued their interest. Suddenly, we were seven lads versus one black mystery cat. We moved on until we reached an area that is quite dense with trees, not far from where the man had said he was attacked. It was then that we started hearing loud rustling
Starting point is 00:21:41 coming from an area in front of us. Suddenly facing up to the reality that a panther could probably do a lot more damage to us than we could do to them with some large sticks, we collectively agreed that it was a really fucking stupid idea and pegged it off into the opposite direction. Now, this all may sound slightly far-fetched, but panther sightings seem to be quite a common occurrence around the Worcester,
Starting point is 00:21:58 Kidderminster area. I have attached some links to news articles detailing stories and sightings for you to check out. Now, there are always big cats located, spotted on heaths the length and breadth of the country. And it's never true, is it? Well, I don't know. First of all, great email. It's got so many boxes of things.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Beautifully written. It's got a hand injury in it, Pete. You asked for hand injury emails recently. It's got the town of droit which spa which is where rick may all grew up yeah the possibility that uh the man had been doing some cottage in it had gone wrong true it's got an email from our list our friend matt who claims to have a torch which is a hundred thousand lumens which i personally find quite hard to believe because those torches that are like the brightest ones you can get they shine for a
Starting point is 00:22:44 kilometer and they cost about a grand so i'd love to see evidence of that because that would be one impressive torch yeah um you'd probably blind a panther with that um perhaps that's what you're going to try and do i don't know um but on the on the big cats thing i don't know i was in i was in exmoor a while back as you know and it felt weird around there you'd be out there even during the day and it felt weird i don. You'd be out there even during the day, and it felt weird. I don't know why. I can't really explain it.
Starting point is 00:23:08 And there are so many sightings of these things, and there are so many instances of like, you know, little... So I'll tell you a good example. Up in Scotland, you know the broadcaster Kirsty Young used to do Desert Island Discs? Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:21 She is in the news at the moment because she's trying to develop an island in the middle of Loch Lomond, right? This is where I'm going. Bear with me. I'm going somewhere with this. It's caused a lot of controversy because the stuff they want to do is
Starting point is 00:23:37 quite controversial environmentally. They're claiming that... I've got to be completely even-handed about this because I don't know the detail. They're claiming that it'd actually be very good for the environment. Some other people, like the Woodland Trust, are saying it wouldn't be. There's different species of trees.
Starting point is 00:23:50 But there's also a settlement of wallabies there, right? Okay, right. Now, wallabies are not native to fucking Loch Lomond, but they got there somehow. I don't know how. Perhaps they were reintroduced there. I don't know. Or perhaps they escaped from a zoo.
Starting point is 00:24:01 The point being, you have things like wild hogs in the UK. You have beavers up in Scotland. You have these... And sometimes they're reintroduced. Sometimes they escaped from a zoo. The point being you have things like wild hogs in the UK you have beavers up in Scotland and sometimes they're reintroduced sometimes they escape from zoos.
Starting point is 00:24:10 There are parakeets all over London because they escaped from a zoo back in the 60s. There could feasibly be big felines in certain isolated parts
Starting point is 00:24:21 of the UK for that reason. So I don't think you can completely rule it out is what I'm saying. Do you remember that one in Essex where there was like a big manhunt or a big lion hunt
Starting point is 00:24:29 and it turned out to be a massive stuffed lion somewhere left in the field? Right, okay. Yeah, I sort of, sort of kind of remember that. That was like a weird story, but the world wasn't quite so fucking crap. Those stories were just a little bit of fun, do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:44 Yeah. So I wouldn't rule it out, actually. I wouldn't rule out a black panther or any type of big cat being on the loose in the beautiful town of Droitwich Spa in Worcestershire. Who knows? Oh, it stole my watch. Disgusting.
Starting point is 00:24:59 That might be so different. Would you be happy to go in those woods after dark in that situation after a man had come to you with a big cut on his hand and said, fucking hell, there's a massive panther? You wouldn't. You'd shit your fucking pants. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:25:12 There's no way I would do that. You'd arm yourself with Sam Fender's Brit Award. I'd just sellotape a load of knives to my dog and just send that in. I'd try and attack that. It's got a kitchen devil taped to its head. The sellotape's not going to hold on the and just send that in they try and attack that it's got a kitchen hold on the fur is it like robot wars imagine that imagine you went in robot wars and um it's just a dog it's just you and what's your what's your robot called buckley and the voice of it goes buckley and it's just your your born a terrier with knives
Starting point is 00:25:45 on its paws well it's got like well I mean he gets ever so cranky when we're eating so I reckon I reckon he'd probably take on
Starting point is 00:25:52 I'm trying to think the names of the robots Matilda Matilda the house robot so I kill a lot so I kill a lot he's got a little he's got a little
Starting point is 00:26:01 coat he's got like a little red parka that I put on every now and again when it gets cold because he's getting on a bit and he needs all the warmth. And he's got a little coat, but sometimes the Preston will detach
Starting point is 00:26:14 and it'll kind of like, the hood will go over the front of his eyes like Kenny from South Park. And he'll just walk into a wall. I'm like, oh mate, I'm so sorry. Do you reckon he can't take into a wall. I'm like, oh mate, I'm so sorry. Do you reckon he can't take on a robot on a robot wall?
Starting point is 00:26:28 I don't think he'd be able to take on a robot on a robot wall. Maybe in his younger days, maybe. You see, I've seen, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:26:34 it must be in South Africa or something where like a little dog, it must be on a reservation or whatever, a little dog is like really going for like a couple of lions
Starting point is 00:26:43 and the lions are absolutely shitting themselves. They don't know what's happening. And they're lazy during the day, lions, aren't they? So they probably just don't want any aggro. And this dog is screaming out and barking, showing his teeth, growling, and the lion's just backing off.
Starting point is 00:26:54 So it can surprise you, the old animal world. But one of my cats, my cats basically spend quite a lot of their time outside chasing as a family of squirrels that live in the garden. And they spend quite a lot of their time outside chasing as a family of squirrels that live in the garden. And they spend quite a lot of time chasing them. I think I mentioned this to you before, but I never did it on the show.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And they never catch them because squirrels are like five times faster than cats, even though cats are quick. And once they managed to corner a squirrel between them, down the bottom of the garden, and it was like, I don't know, it was like they dreamed of something happening for so long that when it actually happened they didn't really know what to
Starting point is 00:27:30 do and one of them got close to the squirrel the squirrel kind of reared up on its back feet or whatever and kind of showed some kind of aggression and they both just fucking legged it into the house and i was like this has been going on for two years fellas what's going what are you doing like i don't understand what you're doing and then kurt zoom account no he didn't um so anyway that's it let's get out of here pete that's that's enough for today uh we'll be back we'll come back on thursday for some more chat um we've got to do some hand injury emails because there's so many been sent in and you asked for them we've got to do some batteries as well um we've got a few... Hand injury special.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I think a couple of the hand injury ones are a little bit, you know, listen to that under advice. So if you're a bit squeamish, you may not want them. But anyway, we'll get through them if we can. Have a great week. Pete, have you got anything else to say?
