The Luke and Pete Show - A tale of many Keiths

Episode Date: July 13, 2020

Luke and Pete are back for another week of unplanned nonsense interspersed with your emails, and what a show we have for you today!There's an in-depth discussion on several famous Keiths (think Richards, Floyd, Flint, Harris and Lemon), and Pete updates us all on his latest situation regarding asthma. Elsewhere there's rolled ankles, pulled hamstrings, weird toes, an anechoic chamber update, and some stuff about Buzz Lightyear. All in all, an eclectic mix of absolute rubbish. Enjoy![e-mail] is the place to get in touch. We await your correspondence with baited breath. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

we've passed our health checks we are fine uh we are the look and picture i'm pete donaldson and i'm joined by mr luke moore how you doing luke i'm very well peter thank you very much for inviting me back yes onto the luke and pete show yeah a show in which you are very much a partner yeah i only really wanted to do this show in which you are very much a partner. Yeah, I only really wanted to do this show in the first place because all I wanted to do was see my name in a show title. That's the only reason, and we're still here. Why don't we just get a podcast where it's like the show of a thousand Lukes

where you interview all of the other Lukes in the media? They must be like lords. Well, you're taking the piss there. I know you are, but for the listener's benefit, it's on the dev slate. It's on there. It's on my list. How are you doing? How was your weekend?

I'm good, yeah. I've been taking a lot of asthma medication because my chest has got a little tight. I can't figure out whether it's allergies or the fact that my house is a little dustier than usual because I'm sort of tidying it up a little bit. I'm in a situation where I'm taking a lot of asthma medication and it's made my throat quite hoarse

because apparently asthma medication, if you take too much of it, you can get thrush. Oh, right. I had it when I was a kid and I think it was pre-figuring out that asthma medication can give you thrush, certainly the oral medication so to speak i remember when i was about um 14 or 15 i got thrush in my throat like a baby would and uh and they said you got to tell you you got to tell your girlfriend about

this thrush in your throat and i was like mate i don't have a fucking girlfriend look at me so yeah look at me for this for the for christ's sake i've got asthma i've got debilitating asthma uh so yeah don't worry i'm not unwell i've just taken a lot of asthma medication also also also i rolled my ankle over the weekend as well oh which is terribly upsetting i know and and to be honest the worst thing about it was just thinking about the it popped out and then went pop back in again it was a really bad one but it didn't bad one, but it didn't inflame that much. It's not bruised or anything, but it definitely went out and then went back in again.

And I'm so glad it went back in again because, you know, we saw that golfer who was- Well, that's what I was going to say. Tony Fee now, the closest we've come to not being friends anymore is when I sent you that video with no write-up of what you're watching. Disgusting. So for those who don't remember

he was walking down the fairway in a golf tournament and he he twisted his ankle went over on his ankle and it popped out and he just

did the which I think apparently is the right thing to do just popped it back in before it could start swelling up and he was fine but it looked horrific.

It's horrible it's bloody rank so I can't stop thinking about that I can't stop thinking about that. I can't stop thinking about my pully ankle. What have you been doing this weekend? Have you managed to jump shove in any way? Yes,

I did actually. I pulled a left hamstring chasing a dog. Oh, that's nice, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Well,

yeah. I mean, the reason I did it is nice, I guess, but the fact that I did it isn't that nice. My friends have got a, friends have got a, a Labradoodle called alistair lovely dog um he's gonna be absolutely gigantic uh he's 99 months old and he's massive already he'd probably be up to about your waist pete already and um

and uh we went around to theirs for a socially distant barbecue um because it was a birthday we're celebrating one of my oldest friend friends birthday and uh we obviously they live where i'm from which is right by the south coast and uh we went we took the dog for a walk afterwards and um he was loving it because it was a beautiful day and he got to chase the ball around they're going to see and then when they let him off the lead he's very well behaved when they let him off the lead he gets really excited and sometimes he'll go and chase the ball, but he won't bring it back. So you've got to go and get it from him.

And then what he then thinks is happening is it's some kind of chase game going on. So he just legs it. So basically it just took me ages to get him in. And then what I realized was I'd gone from, you know, nought to 60, Pete,

you know, my turn of speed, nought to 60 in pretty short order, if you don't mind. And the left hamstring said, listen, Luke, you're in your 30s. Yeah, I'm doing your squats. Yeah, exactly. And so it was painful this morning when I woke up. Listen, guys, will I be able to go for my usual regular Tuesday morning run

tomorrow morning? Watch this space. That's all I'll say. Oh, wow. Are you going to be spending the rest of the day in cryogenic muscle sleep? Are you going to be doing some kind of wild kind of... I'll sleep in the chamber tonight, Pete, as I always do.

Sleep in the chamber. You and Michael, you got that off Michael Jackson's yard sale, didn't you, when he sadly passed on that oxygen chamber? It gives him oxygen chamber. Everyone was saying. It gives him sexual powers. Everyone was saying he's a controversial character. We're sad to see him go because he was a musical genius, but very, very problematic to say the least as a human being.

And I just said what I said to you at the time, Pete. What stuff has he got? Give us his chimp. Give us the monkey. Bubbles, not cuddles. Bubbles. Cuddles was Keith keith flint floyd keith harris thank you keith a real whistle stop tour through all the famous keys to be honest i mean regular listeners at the lucar peach hall will be flabbergasted how i managed to sort of tip

tiptoe through all of those keiths and get to the right one without actually going. Is it, who is it now? It's Harris. All those Keiths you've mentioned, they're dead. Harris. Yes, confirmed. Yes, confirmed. Who was the other one, Keith?

Floyd. Floyd. Oh, yeah. They were all quite, I mean, if you would sort of say like, they were all in the entertainment business, but all in very different spheres of entertainment. Yeah, it's actually a very little known part of the entertainment industry. Now, Pete, you and I have got a very, very small insight into it

compared to a lot of our listeners. Not a huge one, but a little one. And we'll tell them this now. One of the magic circle style facts about the entertainment industry that you're not supposed to tell, but we will for the purposes of this show is that you do have to have uh yeah exactly like pen and teller you do actually have to have a certain amount of keiths in each entertainment sector so um yeah that's why keith lemon to change his name to keith lemon exactly yes because because we lost one because we lost floyd and we kept losing flight we were hemorrhagingaging Floyd's. Sorry, hemorrhaging Keith's.

Pete, what do you think about – because didn't Keith Lemon have to come out and do some kind of apology on Instagram about some of the stuff he's done? Yeah, yeah. Life comes at you quick, eh? I mean, the things that – I was watching – actually, speaking of stuff that probably wouldn't be acceptable now, I was watching a bit of Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse, Harry and Paul from 2012, I think it was.

Some of the sketches in that were very aggressive for the BBC. Right. Very, very. In what way? What do you mean? They were, a guy would have a shop called, it was Harry Enfield in this instance, he would have a shop called I Saw You Coming, and he would basically entertain these older kind of yummy mummies

from sort of Crouch End kind of thing. And they'd come in and he'd sell them tat for for a ridiculously inflated price because i saw you coming and and you're an idiot you're an upper class uh twit uh you've never worked a day in your life your husband works in the city all those stereotypes that kind of play into it but also um and fundamentally there was there were sketches about like um where they were selling things to make them sound more interesting in parties. And it was things like self-harm scars and stuff, like fake self-harm scars. And this was going out on the BBC in like 2012, 2013, I believe.

And I was like, God, they would never do that again. They would never do that now. They would never, ever dare of doing that now. They would only do that if they could have someone else on the other side to provide balance. Yeah, exactly. Someone would have to come into the sketch and go, well, maybe you shouldn't do that if they could have someone else on the other side to provide balance. Yeah, exactly. Someone would have to come into the sketch and go, well, maybe you shouldn't do that. It's up to you.

It's your decision. Oh, big news, Luke, in the entertainment slash video game world. I know you guys don't come here for video game news, but I think this is something we can all get on board with. A copy of the 1985 video game Super Mario Bros. has broken its own record. $114,000. It's just gone on sale.

It's been sold. A copy of it at an auction in the US. 90 grand's worth of video game garbage has just been sold. And it's just Super Mario Bros. Nothing interesting, nothing rare. Why does it sound expensive? It's in really good condition. it's it's shrink-wrapped it's got an original cardboard sleeve with little kind of hook listen either works in the console it doesn't that's it well they won't know they'll never know because i'll never open they'll never open it so there we go

do you know i had an amazing amount of uh foresight as a kid that's never really been fully realized. When I was, I think, what year did the film Toy Story come out? I reckon it was 98. I reckon it was 98. I've just checked. It was 95. Ah, fuck.

And I went to Disney. So my dad got laid off from work, right? And I might have told you this before. Yeah, yeah. Like an amazing. Yeah, exactly. Just took me to Disney World in Florida, which is, I mean, something that I would never. Great dad move.

Yeah, I would never expect my parents to do that. I've never done anything so financially irresponsible before or since. But they did it anyway. And they took me there. And I was 14. And when i got there they had this toy story kind of thing they've got a whole toy story section now because obviously it's a big big hitter for them but back then they had a toy story kind of little mini thing

and they were selling buzz light years and um you know actually in the box because you know he appears in the box on that in the in the in the film itself and the kid opens it and it's like a um it's like an interesting thing and and the box actually features fairly prominently and so i thought well what i'm going to do i was only 14 this is how sad i was as a kid i was only 14 and um i thought what i'll do is i'll buy one but i'll never take it out the box because i think in like 20 years time it's going to be uh worth loads of money right so i did it and I kept it I never played with it I put it up in the box

in the attic and I've still got it looked it up on eBay earlier £7.50 so absolutely fucking pointless I couldn't even get my money back on it 25 years later it's in mink and dish no one's interested so forget it you never know do you and also like

I guess I think i did the same thing with simpsons figurines which you would probably say were less i've never seen one because it's quite yeah that was back in the day when it was before i'd even watched maybe a simpsons episode we went to butlins and we had a five pound stipend we had a five pound uh a bit of pocket money every day and i would march down to the toy shop that was on site at Butlins and spend £4.99 on a new Simpsons figure every time. So I got the full collection of the family. But the thing that got me was it was kind of upsetting that I'd sort of spent a couple of weeks just sort of kind of looking at them in the packaging

and then just opened them up and just played with them. And I didn't need to. Temptation. Didn't need to. Didn't need to. Temptation. Didn't need to. Didn't need to. Temptation. I know. But yeah, it's always the ones that seem to make all of the money

are like mistakes or short run ones. You know, they've accidentally put Hitler's head on Homer Simpson's head. Is that even possible? That was a big cock up. Well, I don't know. They're all built in the same factory. I mean, why anyone's making Hitler figurines in 2000,

the year 2000, I don't know. But yeah, weird. Do you know what's just hit me? Like speaking of the old, going back to the old Keith thing, right? Keith isn't a very popular name now, is it? It would be a great name for a dog. Yeah, would be decent. I just don't think that in the UK particularly,

you're going to get anyone famous or of note called Keith anytime soon. I can't think of any Keith. Yeah, he's old though, isn't he? I can't think of anyone now that's going to break through and become famous called Keith. I mean, I can't think of a more recent one than probably, I mean, this is American, but there's a rapper called Keith Murray, isn't there?

That's the only one I can think of. So, and he's probably older than me. So Keith Flint's probably the most recent one you're going to get. And I've just checked and he was born in 1969. So I don't think you're going to see any famous Keiths, possibly Irish rugby player, Keith Wood,

but he's not that famous as Irish as well, not British. And sport, yeah. And sports stars, I guess is it kind of slightly different but like i think yeah you need to be called like keith tend or something like something like you got a young kutramonti in him young keith little keith little little keith

little keith would work little keith would work the best ever keith is keith richards we agreed on that uh yeah though there was a clip of um keith richards um somebody kind of i think possibly surreptitiously filmed keith richards backstage at glassman before before they went on um and obviously every dressing room's got a little you know guitar and and and sort of amp and drum kit set up and you know so so people can relax and play a bit music or whatever and i presume that'll be in every single last thing the Rolling Stones. It's the last thing I want to do. I've got to go and work doing that in a minute. I know, right? I know.

I always sort of think of like, we all sort of think about the excitement of like Nebworth or, you know, people doing, you know, iconic shows in the UK and abroad and stuff like that. But you go to any festival and you go backstage, it's just porter cabins that they've just kind of put together and tidied up and put a couple of like rugs down., it's just port-a-cabins that they've just kind of put together and tidied up and put a couple of rugs down, so it's nice. But Keith Richards

is playing along, playing some kind of blues riff. He didn't sound very good. Well, I think he's got really bad arthritis, hasn't he? Yeah. I think a lot of these kind of touring bands, they have a lot of

pre... not recorded, but they certainly have other band members behind the stage uh fleetwood mac being one of them uh the isle of wight festival where it was so windy the uh the the curtain kept blowing up and you could see a load of touring members of the bands behind the curtain playing along and basically just playing the same stuff that so the guitar i know for i know for a fact, we may have mentioned this before, but I know for a fact that a lot of the big artists have their guitar techs do all their pedals for them. Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, I think Metallica were the first to do that.

Because obviously it's a very technical, yeah, it's a very technical thing. But imagine if you fucked up and just did like a, you know, you had, who plays guitar for... Hetfield or Hammett. Hetfield, Hammett. Hammett's very gentle. Hetfield will stone your fucking head in.

He's, but imagine if like you put like, did like a really cheesy kind of digitech kind of mixed guitar board kind of wah-wah pedal noise on his way. He's trying to do a solo. That would sound so stupid. You just hit both the buttons at the same time. Tune in. It goes for tune in.

Yeah. They're just fucking, they're not going to hit anything. That'd be amazing. But you know what I'm saying? If I was doing like a podcast series on, because you know, like a lot of creatives are quite left-wing and liberal.

Yeah. And so it would be, so if you were doing like a podcast series on musicians that are actually very right-wing, James Hetfield would be first series. Him, Johnny Ramone, and I can't really think of many others, but there are a couple. Yeah, right-wing.

Hetfield is like right of Genghis Khan. His politics are unbelievable. Is he right? Okay. Presley was quite... Was he? Yeah? Okay. Presley was quite... Was he? You know. Yeah, I think Presley was quite weirdly...

Ted Nugent. Yeah, Nugent's another one. Good one. But Hetfield's politics extend to, I think, just give me a gun and let me hunt whatever I want and leave me alone. That's basically... That's his manifesto.

I mean, where does that sit in the Kid Rock kind of, because he's... Kid Rock's just a dick though, isn't he? I think James Hetfield, if James Hetfield was a politician

and he had to do like a town hall and answer questions, 95% of the answers would be just figure it out for yourself. Just look after yourself. Leave me out of it. He doesn't want to know. All he wants to do is

go hunting play his guitar and um he can't obviously can't drink anymore because he's a recovering alcoholic but um i mentioned this to you a while back and we have to apologize to our listeners because sometimes we repeat things on this show chiefly because pete and i do speak a lot and it's difficult to know what's on the show and what isn't but i said to you pete i watched a concert of theirs in the 80s where they're they're all alcoholics basically functioning alcoholics and they are still absolutely amazing yeah i i can never kind of figure out people who can do that but also be you know like halfway through a whiskey bottle when they're actually performing because it's such a, is it muscle memory? Is it just being a very performative person?

I just cannot figure out. I'm quite an insular kind of drunk. I kind of retreat into myself. I get loud and then I get quiet, the drunker I get. So, yeah, it's very, very strange. Very, very. I mean, as you would know, if you saw the Ramble Live tour back in the last year, I always have to have two pints

before I go on stage. Yeah. Problematic. Not pints. You have those little cans, don't you? Little bowls. Whatever I've got.

Didn't we get Heineken's? We were sort of treated to Heineken's For some reason. For some reason. Who does that? The tour manager called up and you answered the phone

and said, yeah, just get loads of Heineken. It's the worst shout ever. I'm a Heine man, I said. Yeah, exactly. By the way, Pete, changing trends. Do you want a quick coronavirus update? Is it binary?

You've got it or you haven't got it? It's in a Luke and Pete show style, obviously. Right, okay. I read today that llamas are helping the fight against coronavirus because the quest to provide, you know, whatever it would be, a vaccination or whatever it would be, a vaccine, at the moment, in some cases,

is centred around engineering llama antibodies, which are relatively small and much more simply structured than the antibodies in a human's blood. And they can therefore be redesigned in a lab. So llamas are at the forefront of helping the fight against coronavirus who'd have thought it well as i said especially because they are not helping when it comes to they are very spitty creatures so i imagine if they ever had an if they ever had a lung lung bond disease i think they would uh or a virus

they would probably um spread it more than most the filthy little blighters. What's your opinion on llamas generally? Beautiful eyes. Beautiful eyelashes. Are they related to the camel? They must be, surely. They must be. You can say a separate genus, all that bollocks. Look at them.

They're just camels without humps and a bit more hair. Yeah, I think take a camel's hump away from a camel, you get a llama. It's just science. It's like when a dog and a cat have sex, a fox is born. Yeah, I think take a camel, a camel's hump away from a camel, you get a llama. It's just science. It's like when a dog and a cat have sex, a fox is born. So that works. Exactly.

Exactly. Fox is a, what is it? Dog hardware, cat software. No, cat hardware, dog software, whatever it is. I know what you're trying to say, but I just need to work, I've never heard that before,

I need to work it out in my own mind. I would say dog hardware, cat software. Hardware, cat software. Yeah, yeah. Fair do's. Fair do's. All right, then. We're going to shift off, play some ads if we've got them, and then we'll be back with some more emails from you guys. Oh, you've done well this week. Oh, you've done well this week.

Oh, sorry. Dan says, hello. Hi, Lucan Pete. This was sent 16 hours ago, so we are starting fresh. Please don't read my full name out. Just Dan, you'll see why. I don't think I did, did I?

No, you didn't. It's fine. You were good. No, good. I've been catching on past pods, past pods, and I'm now back at work and came across the happy birthday pete episode in this uh listener alex told us the story of setting the fire alarms off in uni halls with a red fireman's thong luke goes on to talk about fireman goes on uh talk about fireman never having worn such undergarments in a fire engine well i am in fact a firefighter in the south of england being an on-call firefighter, we would have our pager go at any second

with the golden dreaded three being you're in the shower or the bath, you're having a poo, or you're having naughty relations with another woman or man. It's interesting that Dan is going another woman. Oh, another woman as in outside of your relationship. I think he might just be talking about any kind of sexual activity that isn't masturbation, isn't he? I don't know because he says another woman as in outside of your relationship i think he might just be talking about any kind of sexual activity that isn't masturbation isn't he i don't know because he says another woman and dan i'm presuming he identifies as a man so i'm saying another woman is he just bored of women another woman or another woman like outside of my relationship

make yourself clear mate clarity of communication is very important lest you be unfairly maligned as an adulterer. Look, and I'm putting two and two together and making whatever the hell I want, so I'm presuming that you present as a man. Dan, I do not know. When the pages go, we have around about four minutes to get to the station and be on the pump and en route to the incident.

So up and leaving in an instance can cause some issues and some disappointment on my wife's part. Anyway, this one evening we were called out. And when arriving at the station, we are getting on the truck and in a hurry due to the severity of the incident. On the way, there was this very fruity smell in the cab appearing to be coming from my mate sitting next to me. When I questioned it, he informed me that him and his girlfriend were fooling around. And what I could smell was actually a fruity pleasure rub pleasure rub good band by the way fruity pleasure rub it sounds like something you'd put on chicken

uh before a roast i put some fruity pleasure on it uh we had a laugh about it before um he turned to me and said but it gets worse he then proceeds to show me how he is wearing her litty knickers under his joggers and fire kit in the rush he just threw his trousers over the top at home. The whole time we were at this incident, you could see him constantly trying to rearrange his undergarments and man-veg into a comfortable place. This has gone down in station folklore now, with every newbie being told of this embarrassing story. A story of learning, if you will. A reminder to the newbies to bear in mind that you could have to leave instantly whatever you may be up to. One we've obviously laughed about ever since.

Fortunately, it had a good outcome, so we don't mind looking back on this funny moment, which, of course, we will not let him forget. Dan, that's a fantastic story. And, yeah, just know where your pants are. If you're going to put on someone else's pants, just know where your own pants are at all points. Do you know where your pants are, right, Luke?

Yeah, I know where they are right now. Around me bum. Around me bum. Around me bum bum. Peter, that means, does this guy just have a very nice smelling fireman's pole? I guess so. Do they have fireman's poles still at the station? Yes, I believe they do.

Didn't we get through this? I think we got a few messages about a fireman's pole. But the thing I don't get about the fireman's pole, and firefighters, perhaps Dan even, can get in touch and answer this. Yeah. Does it really save that much time? Well, I guess it depends on where you're located,

I suppose. You're upstairs, the fire engine's downstairs, you need to get down real quick. What do you want, a bouncy castle? I think stairs is going to be fast enough. Bouncy castle. Bouncy castle's going on. Yeah, I think it might be. Ball pool. Because I think if is going to be fast enough. Bouncy castle. Bouncy castle. Yeah, I think it might be.

Ball pool. Because I think if you leg it down the stairs as fast as you can, it's probably dangerous. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So it's just get a pole, get a little. Exactly. You don't want that. Exactly.

What about this email from Dawson who says, Hi, guys. With all this free time in lockdown, I've listened to some old episodes again, and I came across one where you talk about anechoic chambers. Remember that, Pete? Yes. Give people a very, very quick pricey of what an anechoic chamber is.

It's a big room or small room that absorbs all sound or as much as it can, and that means that you – or certainly bounces it off in weird directions so you can't hear any echo and it slowly turns you insane because all you can hear is the movement the sound of your own body um but dawson says he wanted listeners to he wants to inform you and listeners that the world record has been broken for staying in an anechoic chamber for the longest time. A YouTuber called Kallux made a video a year ago called Staying in the Quietest Room in the World

until I went crazy. He went to South Bank University to attempt to break the world record. He lasted over an hour and a half, which destroys the former record at, I think, around 40 minutes. Unfortunately, when he attempted to get a Guinness World Record adjudicator to watch over to make it an official former record, I think, around 40 minutes. Unfortunately, when he attempted to get a Guinness World Record adjudicated to watch over to make it an official world record, they declined, saying it's too dangerous. Oh, that's a good idea.

Yes, good point, yes. Why is it too dangerous? All you're doing is sitting in a room. You're not going to hurt yourself. Yeah, but your brain goes mad. Because, you know, we were talking about this last week, weren't we, about eyeballs coming out of your eye hole. Oh, yeah.

And you sort of think, well, your brain does a lot of the heavy lifting. I imagine your brain does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to interpreting what sound is where and where you are. And naturally, you would probably never find yourself in an echoic. I can't remember what we were saying. An echoic. An echoic. Oh, big man now, giving it the big licks.

Now you know how to say it. I've practiced it five times on the show itself so i can say but peter one of the things the brain is very good at that i think it's underrated and i'd be interested in your thoughts on this the brain must be very very good in a way that we don't ever consider and that's in a instant dismissal of things that aren't important or immediately put you in danger or anything like that. So, for example, if you walk down a street, there's however many houses, cars, trees, things,

and you don't really notice more than a couple of percent of them, right? So your brain must be taking all that kind of stuff in but filtering it yeah which is crazy to think about right yeah i i would also say would it when you were a kid like and you would walk um you'd walk past cars in the street and maybe the street lights maybe it's just the the switch up from led from from normal, I guess, halogen bulbs to light-emitting diodes in the old lamps. Like when you used to walk from a light area to a dark area and you would sort of look at the cars, the cars would look, the car colors, like blues, would look brown.

And I can't figure out whether it's just the difference in like caustic reflection or whatever when it comes to halogen lamps. Back then, I just thought that the cars had a different tint to them. And I don't see that anymore. the um and me not being able to pick up on the kind of like slight variation in in in the hue or the shade or just the fact that we just changed our lights uh up in in the last in the last 20 years um but i would like to go back to those times sometimes i i think i was gonna say some people have cars changed that change color depending on your viewpoint of them right yes yeah yeah well particularly obviously famously famously, the rapper Nelly,

who said famously, watch the candy paint change every time I switch lanes. Right. Okay. Yeah. So he's- Does that have something to do with it or are you talking about a specific-

Is that part of it? No, I don't think so. No, I don't think Nelly's ever experienced what I experienced walking past St. George's Church on the park road in Hartlepool. But you surprise me you say that because I'm pretty sure LED lights only took the place of halogen lights in street lighting pretty recently. Yeah.

I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I don't know why the lights bouncing off cars just look a little bit different now I'm a little bit older and I'm cognizant of understanding that something must have changed in me. Or maybe it's just my brain going, look, you know what, Bluey? Stop looking at it. You know what, Red?

Stop looking at it. It's fine. The brain does that thing where if you look at something for too long, it stops looking like what it's supposed to look like. With a word, if you look at words for too long and you spend too much time focusing on them, they start to look like not words. So there's a lesson in that.

Don't try too hard at anything. And voiceovers as well. If you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, all words, when we did the Football Ramble book, audio book, all of the words that i'd written in a starbucks on free wi-fi uh for week after week uh on end i uh couldn't read i just couldn't read the words that i'd had i'd written it was it was just horrendous because you you keep repeating the same thing over and over again and then everything just starts to

be meaningless after a while yeah yeah i've got i've got one i've got one final thing about noticing things uh is that if you obviously in the summer when you're walking around and you're not really wearing socks you walk around bare feet because it's warm and what i find when i'm doing shows or if i'm working from home and i've got bare feet if i stare at my toes too long i start to think of them as little like evil fingers right okay imagine them on like a kind of fictional evil being and it makes me feel a bit weird from i don't know i just come from if you take one of your toes you've ever been if you take one of your toes in isolation like the middle one yeah of the five and kind of separate out and look at it

in a certain way it starts to feel like it could be the stumpy finger of an evil fictional being. That's what I feel like. This is the most whimsical you've ever been. Very enjoyable. Good. Well, listen, people wouldn't get in touch if they feel the same way.

The soul of Luke Moore. If they feel the same way, people wouldn't get in touch. You know, it's like the way I describe it is, you know that some people have got a real bad phobia of looking at holes in things. Yeah, yeah. I forget what that is, but...

Yeah, it's kind of, it feels a bit like that. Hang on, let's carry on. I'm about to wrap up the show for today, but just carry on. I've got to let my cat in. He won't shut up.

They don't like guards. I think guards can sometimes have like seed pods in them and... Oh, meow. And they don't like it. I'll finish off with an email, actually.

Okay, go for it. If you hear that in the background that's magnus being annoying ah magnus uh i'm a cat henry uh says hello guys on the topic of finding something in the attic this one's a bit different right in pete's wheelhouse i'm a facilities manager and look after a lot of commercial properties upon one inspection i found myself in a PABX room. P can explain. Weirdly, I can. It's just basically, I think it's like a computer-based telephone exchange. In there, I found none other than what I have photographed below, a classic IBM computer fully intact. Not sure how long it's been in there, but a quick Google puts the creation date in the 1980s.

That Google search also found that it's worth fuck all, so it's not worth the time moving all the best henry and he just sent us a picture of an old room with a stunning uh classic ibm pc from back in the day um it really does look like something else do you know what that reminds me of it really reminds me of that time traveler john titor that i talk about somewhat sometimes who said that um he appeared on the kind of message forums, some internet forums saying that he had travelled from the future to come back to retrieve an IBM 5100

computer. Right, okay. Yeah. Because he referenced that it was needed to debug some computer programs in the year 2036. And whenever I hear of the word IBM computer, I only ever think of that now so does it look like that like a weird big massive keyboard uh and it won't surprise you that the um color is a lovely

cream uh but to be fair the coloring of old computers can be um quite variable simply because of the fire retardant uh chemicals they put into the plastic so it wouldn't just set on fire. And that, over time, makes it yellow. It was long thought of being something to do with smoking, but it's quite the reverse. Oh, I always thought it was to do with smoking, like nicotine states. It's not, no? No, no, it's not. It's literally because of that.

And you can kind of, they call it retro-brighting. You can kind of reverse the process a little bit by applying some kind kind of i think it's ammonia solution to it to make it white again but yeah these computers in the air is that were white would slowly turn yellow because of the fire retardant chemicals don't pour ammonia on your computer if you're listening to this don't pour just a little bit can't hurt can it i remember once um the most recent smell of ammonia I ever smelled was when we didn't open the Football Ramble football kit in the bag for like a year. Oh, yes, yes. I don't know how that happened because people used to take responsibility

for washing it. It must have fallen through the cracks or something. And it smelled so bad of ammonia, I reckon there might have been some kind of species living in there or something. Well, I've seen football kit before from like a shared bag that's got like freaking mold on it and stuff it's disgusting but yeah that smell is very evocative and it kind of reminds me it reminds me of uh ammonium sulfate uh the stuff they put on um licorice in in in like sweden and places like that and also like when i bleach my hair it's a it's very evocative of being a kid.

You're always talking about licorice and scanna, maybe. Yeah, I know. But on that note, we're going to have to get out of here because we've got to go and do other things.
