it's the luke and peter i'm joined by luke it is a monday morning when we are recording at the 14th of december luke where the hell is december gone mate i've not got all my presents still halfway to go you better explain the start of that show to people listening because they won't know the full context of how ridiculous I was being. Luke said, is my shirt too squeaky? And he started jumping up and down on it to make it squeak. And I said, it sounds like you're having sex. And Luke said, that's not how I have sex.

And then he jumped on his chair like that, like lots and lots and lots. And then I just started the show because that is the level of professionalism I know right for some reason our little recording system has got this piece of music installed in it

I can fuck with this big time it's a new theme tune you can beat you can beat you can beat I just love it. I think you should play this after the whole show. I mean, the bass line feels like it belongs in a completely different song.

I'll tell you what it is. It's a vibe. Straight back in. It's a vibe. It's a bop. It's a bop, is it? Yeah, it's a bop. It sounds a bit like an 80s police stakeout before shit starts to go south.

No, I think it's incidental music in a sex ed BBC Two 10am kind of job. It's too groovy. It's too groovy. Yeah, it's like, now on BBC Two, sex and your child. sex and your child. Some people say that the vagina is a mysterious item. Item? Item.

Entity. You have two items in your basket. Please return your vagina to the packing area, please. Literally, these two items need to go to the checkout post-haste. Anyway, Peter. Peter, I want to start with Season's Greetings. I know it's not quite Christmas yet and we'll do another few shows. Maybe we'll do a couple in advance on Monday next week ahead of Christmas. But I do want to start with some Season's Greetings because I received, as you well know,

a Christmas present from you over the weekend. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. People listening who don't know you as well as I do will think, oh, no, what kind of prank thing did Pete send Luke for Christmas? Tartan paint, a long stand. Yeah, exactly, a sky hook. But I received a polystyrene box, opened it up, thought it might be like the end scene in the film Seven.

Is that what was delivered, a little polystyrene box? Yeah, covered in ice. Oh, wow, that's cool. The good thing is that the ice was packaged in, so basically like ice packs. So I've got them in the freezer. I can use them again. Yeah, to cool down. If you've had a Christmas argument, you can cool yourself down afterwards.

What if I've got too much fire in my belly? I can get my head in the freezer and we're away. Exactly, get your head in the freezer. There you go. And anyway, so that was a bonus as well. But what I was actually delivered was a delicious and beautiful cut of A5 Wagyu beef. Yeah.

Wow. Delicious. I mean, I don't know how good it will be because obviously that cow lives in Japan or lived in Japan. Its bones are now resident in Japan. Yeah. Glue, probably. And yeah, I don't know how good that will be.

It's for like gelatin, don't they? For soup. Squeaks. Yeah, yeah. So it's probably the Japanese Percy pigs. and yeah, I don't know how good that'll be. You know you use beef bones for like gelatin, don't you? And sweets. Yeah, yeah. So it's probably the Japanese Percy Pigs. It's probably the Japanese Percy Pigs as we speak. Yeah, so I don't know how good that'll be but I mean, I suppose if it's been frozen at source

and remained frozen for a little while, it may still retain some of its deliciousness. Well, as regular listeners to the show will know that I'm very particular how I cook my steak. I've already checked the link that came with the beef to see how best to cook it uh it's going to be by far the most um you know luxurious cut of beef i've ever had in my life so it looks kind of tense no it looks amazing i'm definitely gonna um film it for you i'll send you i'll send you be filming it yeah it's yeah i, A5 Wagyu steak is the best steak I've ever eaten in my life. And I've eaten it like two or three times.

I think I had it once in Piccadilly at the sort of restaurant in Agawa. And that was very expensive. But you only got a couple of chunks. So hopefully it'll be a few more chunks than that in that. But you don't get much for your money, unfortunately. So I'll apologize for the size. But it is the best beef in the world. Best beef.

Hashtag best beef. You don't need to apologise for sending me a thoughtful and delicious Christmas present. A thoughtful small amount of beef. Anyway, this is not a very relatable conversation. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to say that as soon as you WhatsApp to me saying, what's your address? I knew you were sending me a Christmas present because I'm like

a detective like that. Right, okay, yeah, yeah. I also instantly took to the internet when you asked me for your address, my address, and sent you a Christmas present as well. Now, you haven't received my Christmas present yet. No. It's coming later this week. It's not another scooter, is it?

No, this is paperwork. No, it's not quite at the luxury end of the market what i've sent you but i'm hoping you'll appreciate it so look out for it you can tell people about it on monday because i think it's going to come on friday so you can tell people about next monday but look people who listen and they don't know if we're really friends you and i we send each other christmas presents all you need to know sometimes i find you guys. Sometimes I find you cripplingly annoying, but you also find me infuriating as well. Dangerously annoying, yeah. Yeah, so it doesn't matter.

Who cares? Let's get on with it. Who cares? Let's get on with it. Luke, I've got to test you on a few things. All right. I achieved something over the weekend that I've never achieved before.

Saturday morning, I was up, went to Watford, of all places, to an unlovable little sort of 70s office building, and I completed, successfully completed, 49 out of 50, my friend, my driving theory test. What is happening here? Why are you doing this? Why have you suddenly just become really interested in motoring over the last three months?

It's come from nowhere. It's ridiculous. Because going out on my scooter, oh, I am very fragile. The way I drive my scooter around on a busy road. I could have told you that. Oh, Luke, I'm going real fast, and I am very, very fragile. I am less fragile. I'm more fragile than a frozen bit of A5 Wagyu steak, my friend.

You've got eight stone wet through and you've got weak bones. There's no way you should be going over about 15 miles an hour on that thing. Is it roadworthy now? Are you on it now? I'm on it now. I've got my L plates on it. And yeah, the thing about me is, I do think the whole motorized scooter slash motorbike system is kind of flawed because to put the accelerator on one of the sticks that you handle to control the thing,

I just think it gives you false images in your mind about what your motorbike can do. Because I was going around a car park in Waitrose at the weekend on a scooter, and there was a little girl running across the car park. Oh, Jesus. Instead of pumping the brakes, as a normal person would, I accelerated towards her, Luke, and that scared me. Why are you doing that?

And my brain went, Peter, you need to do something now, but it's very much a 50-50 chance on whether you do it right or very wrong. And I accelerated towards this young girl. Someone said to me. Luckily, she was a lot further away than I really needed to be, so it was all good. First of all i was like

why are you like this second of all if someone asked me why you you why is pete donaldson like this i would the best most concise way i can describe it is i've never known anyone like you as far as you either think about something way too much or you don't think about it at all you've never once thought about anything in the right, correct amount. It's always way too much or no thought given at all. And I think you just need a bit of balance. That's what I think.

You can literally balance for your moped, but aside from that. Well, that is fair. It is a particularly heavy bit of work. But, I mean, the important thing is i am now able to uh certainly begin my driving lessons once again i think i took six about five years ago but i passed my theory test now which i hadn't done before um and and i can begin my journey to to driving um but some of the questions in the theory test really made me laugh there was the hazard perception side of things or and and the and the sort of written kind of multiple choice thing.

And I aced the multiple choice thing. Less good on the hazards, to be quite frank, because a lot of like the mock sort of tests that I was trying online were basically like really grainy sort of 90s footage of London. Sort of like a car with a camera on it just driving around. And it was really rather kind of discombobulating because you'd be going across like Old Street Roundabout in the 90s

and you'd just see people doing some mad shit, like people just dropping people off in the middle of a fucking roundabout and stuff like that. And you're like, I didn't expect that to happen because nobody should ever do that, et cetera, et cetera. But when it actually got to the test test itself everything was 3d luke everything had been like made meticulously in a 3d package and i was like wow i i wasn't expecting the 3d ness i was really excited by the um yeah but by these 3d graphics and i spent most of my time

sort of cooing at that so i didn't do quite as well on on the uh on the hazard perception or or i think i've got i think it's out of uh on the hazard perception or or i think i've got i think it's out of if if it's out of 50 i think i've got about 40 yards so i still did all right but it's and i passed so you know fundamentally which is good but uh why are you suddenly doing this when you've already got a moped to concentrate on you can hang out on your moped for the next very much like a karate master i want to master all disciplines again thinking about it way too much yeah but i'm with someone who does a lot all the driving i think it's um i don't think i'm really pulling my weight in that uh section um if you if you and i yeah i'll do the question in a minute

all right i'm happy to do it but can i just say if you and i were living together and cohabiting as a couple i would be happy to have you firmly in the passenger seat and I would not see that as a burden I would see that as you absolutely playing your part good point good point well right here's your questions some of the some of the questions really make me laugh right here's your first question Luke let's see uh when did you pass your theory test 20 years ago 1999 and I it was just a multiple choice thing. And it was out of 35. And I think I got a 30. 35?

Yeah. Outrageous. I mean, most of the rest of the ones are just like, should you use your car if you're using your mobile phone? Which obviously didn't exist back then. Honestly, when I did it, it was so easy. It was like, you come to a traffic light and the light is red. Do you A, go. B, stop, C, wind your window down and shout,

everyone's a winner, baby. It was really easy. I'd quite like that last one. I don't think that's technically wrong, that one. No. Everyone's a winner, baby. Right, here's your question, Luke. You've been involved in an argument that's made you feel angry.

What should you do before starting your journey? Open a window, turn on your radio, have an alcoholic drink or calm down? I can tell you what I do do. All of those things. All of them. Yeah, all of them. Is that a trick question? I mean, technically, you could have a small alcoholic drink, couldn't you?

Like, was it a beer you're allowed? What are you allowed? I don't know the limits. Five beers? Probably about five beers. It's not five. I don't know exactly, but I know it's not five. Right, okay.

Yeah. Here's one. Here's one. At an incident, someone is unconscious and you want to help. What would be the first things to check? A, whether their vehicle is insured, whether they have any allergies, whether they're comfortable or whether their airway is open. I mean, allergy, like just getting a little buttercup

and putting it under their chin. Yeah, sticking their finger in a dandy line. Do you want a piratin? Oh, lordy. gin yeah sticking their finger in a glass of water watching piss themselves this is the thing i know this is a controversial opinion this is not obviously medical advice and this is a show is a leisure show not an advice show but what i want to say is when you get into that situation, I feel to me, I understand the use of basic first aid. I understand how important it is.

I get it. I don't want to go up to and including airways. I want to stop before airway. To me, that feels specialist. That feels like professional work. You know, it's like the old famous Danny Baker argument with his wife that he talked about years ago on the radio about how when he moved in with her, he and her agreed that she was the most, she was the best at doing decoration and interior design.

He would just do all the chores. And they agreed and settled on, he would go up to and including emptying the bin, but he wouldn't put the new bin liner in because he said, that's decoration. So she should never do that. That was the cut-off they agreed, right? This, I feel like the cut-off should be

before airways get involved because that seems too important. Yeah, I guess so. But I mean, that's bare minimum with first aid, isn't it? It's checking that people are breathing, I suppose. No, recovery position. Whatever the injury is, recovery position. Recovery position. You'll be fine I suppose. No, recovery position. Whatever the injury is, recovery position. Recovery position.

You'll be fine in five minutes in the recovery position. Luke, question 28 of 50. What should you do if you become tired when you are driving? On a motorway. Pull up on the hard shoulder and change drivers. Leave the motorway at the next exit and rest. Increase your speed and turn up the radio volume. Or close all your windows and set the heating to warm.

Not that one. Although I do know someone who does a lot of work travelling up and down the country where they used to and they said when they feel a bit tired, they would put the heater on as cold as possible and blast it in their own face. Which to me doesn't seem safe, though. It's not safe.

No, no, it's not ideal. Your eyeballs are fucking dried out. When are you allowed to stop on a motorway? When you wish to pick up hitchhikers was another one that made me laugh. No, the tired one, Pete. Going back to the tired one, the answer I would choose was get an older adult to read me a story. No, that's to make you more sleepy.

You need to be walking up. That's the joke. Oh, right. Sorry, is that sleepy. You need to be walking up. That's the joke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, right. Sorry, is that a joke? Sorry. Yeah, there you go. And finally for now,

what would you do to help injured people at an incident? Keep them warm and comfortable. Keep them on the move by walking them around. Give them a warm drink or give them something to eat. Have a sandwich. You would expect... Have some car jerky. This sounds like a great... You must have had a great time doing this.

Oh, it a lot of fun Oh it was lots of fun It really was A real giggle Oh by the way Can I just ask Before we go On to whatever we're doing next

Have you discovered The running order this week A lot of people Were asking me about it Yeah Running order Yeah running order Exists apparently

Luke Pichot Yeah Katie's editing this show Nat's put a lot of stuff in there Nat's put a lot It's her birthday today so happy birthday Nat I thought it was tomorrow mate

it's tomorrow oh is it right okay I see I thought it was tomorrow we're terrible colleagues but you've probably got something

do you want to give her a present you've got her now oh okay shit oh man so yeah a lot of little stories

Chinese flight attendants told to wear nappies for COVID protection so they don't have to use the toilets. I'm doing that one in a minute. Don't give it all away. Sorry, I thought it was anybody. What does the NW stand for then? That's your colleague's initials. Oh, so Natalie is saying that she's putting that in there.

Right, I see. That makes sense. Sorry, I'm a little bit confused. Before we move on, though, before we move on to that, Peter, can we please... Check Twitter account. Yeah, that's a reminder for me. Do we want to talk about the celebrity deaths

that we've experienced this last week? Yeah, kind of ramped up a little bit. Kind of ramped up a little bit, yeah. I would like to start by talking about the legendary entertainer, Dame Barbara Windsor. You laughed earlier when I said I wanted to talk about her. I didn't laugh. I just don't understand why you're talking about it.

I mean, obviously, it's very sad that an old lady dies, but yeah. What a contribution she's made to British culture. Yeah. You're a man i guess come on it's the sort of thing that people look down their nose at but i mean incredible uh career amazing career and a proper national treasure as well i think it's really sad i know she was ill i know she's had some issues relating to dementia for some time but i mean she's a proper like at one point you know you've got to remember i think i can't

remember the exact years but when she was in that what i would consider to be the golden era of east enders she's a proper like matriarch of the nation mate you know great great um great stuff just to go around just slapping people in the face it's brilliant that was not her character though was it it wasn't like that was what she did, just went around slapping people in the face as the boss of the Queen. She was Philip Grant's mum. Yes, of course.

But she only got introduced... They introduced these kind of beloved actors and Shane Ritchie, and they'd put them in. And they'd put them in sort of they put them in like sort of late doors and go oh this person's been in in in the canon in the universe of EastEnders they've been on the periphery for such a long time you just never seen them and I just think Grant and and his brother should mention that Dame Barbara Windsor uh has was their man but he should have said it beforehand that's all should have said it beforehand and then wait until someone's career is at a point where they can do EastEnders

that's all I'm saying I don't know why it's beyond beyond belief these days given that what we've seen with Marvel and stuff I have no idea

why all the soap operas aren't crossing streams well they're not doing the cinematic universe I mean it'll be fucking amazing as far as I'm led to believe the viewing figures

for soaps like Coronation Street and EastEnders and stuff, aren't as good as they used to be. It's not appointment viewing anymore. You need to innovate. Get them crossing over. Get the landlords to switch over between the Rovers return and the Queen Vic, and we're in business.

Didn't they do a lot of that with Home and Away and Neighbours back in the day? Did they? Or they may have just shared a lot of actors, but I don't think they returned. I think it would be nice to have shared actors and then returned the characters, like had a bit of a bio.

Yeah, no, I think they changed actors, but they didn't swap over in terms of storylines. They bloody should have done. That would have been brilliant. I mean, I say brilliant, it would have been fine. Well, obviously I watch a lot of WCW and WWE, like same actors, different characters every time. Yeah, there was a bit,

there was a lot of Hulk Hogan chat on the Twitter this week about, I can't remember why. Oh, I'll tell you why it was. I'll tell you why, because someone started talking about the

George Foreman grill and then someone put out that apocryphal, I mean, I don't know if it might be real, I'm not sure, that kind of popular myth that Hulk Hogan turned down

the George Foreman grill. It was going to be the Hulk Hogan grill. Right. But didn't he have, didn that Hulk Hogan turned down the George Foreman grill. It was going to be the Hulk Hogan grill. Right. But didn't Hulk Hogan have the Gold's Gym? Was it Hulk Hogan? Yeah, the mojito maker, which didn't do anything. I looked it up earlier.

Hulk Hogan's mojito maker. Is he generally a big mojito guy? I don't know, really. He's a big racist. A bit foreign muck for him, I'd say. He's a big racist guy. He's got very strong opinions. Yeah. I don't know really he's a big racist bit foreign muck for him I'd say he's a big racist guy very strong opinions yeah so

what I mean presumably George Foreman who's got I think seven kids all called George yeah nice he must have made a lot of money

off the grill presumably yeah I can't remember why he came into XFM but Mark met him and he's got a photograph with him his hands

George Foreman's hands are ridiculous they're like each one is like bigger His hands, George Foreman's hands, are ridiculous. Each one is like bigger than an actual George Foreman grill. It's incredible. So have you seen the documentary movie When We Were Kings? No. So it's about the, for those who haven't seen it, it's about the legendary fight between Ali and Foreman,

the Rumble in the Jungle in Africa in the 70s. What year was it? I'm going to guess here, 74 maybe. Anyway, there is a scene in it where George Foreman emerges from a private plane when he arrives there for the fight. And he's got two,

I'm going to say, I think they might be like exotic cats on leashes as he leaves the plane. And they've got a massive fur coat on and i think it might be the coolest anyone has ever been um it's such an amazing scene he he just looks like the biggest badass ever uh and for that reason alone you've got to watch that i mean you should watch it anyway because it's fucking unbelievable uh but it's just incredible what so i mean he was an amazing athlete in his peak, obviously,

and competed in one of the most iconic sporting moments in history. And he's done a grill. I mean, great stuff. He also fought things like 60. How do you feel about the Logan Paul versus... Money May. Who's he going to be fighting? Yeah, Money May.

How do you feel about that? I watched Anthony Joshua at the weekend. He thought Kubrat Pulev knocked him out. Good fight, actually. And Money Mayweather turned up. He was just there, and they interviewed him quickly. I mean, the way I feel about it

is that Floyd Mayweather is no longer really a professional boxer. He's just doing exhibition bouts and stuff. So, I mean, he went over to Japan and fought some kind of Japanese martial artist, didn't he? And he also fought Conor McGregor, who isn't a boxer. So, I mean, it's not really

one for the boxing scene, I don't think. I think it's one for I'm not that I am a boxing expert. I'm a bit of an enthusiast, but that's it. I mean, it's not. Would I watch it? I'd like to watch it if I thought for one second that Floyd Mayweather would actually do what he's capable of, but if he did that, he'd fucking bang him out in like five seconds.

When he fought Conor McGregor, I just thought it was ridiculous. I think it went to about ten rounds, but he's a showman, right? He's an entertainer, so he knows he's got to draw it out. I mean, him fighting Logan Paul, I don't know what weight Logan Paul is either, but is it Logan Paul or Jake Paul? Logan Paul, I think.

He's the older one. I imagine Logan Paul's probably quite a bit bigger, so it'll be a bit of a freak show, really. I don't think it shows boxing in a great light, the same way I don't think Mike Tyson fighting Roy Jones Jr. show boxing in a great light, but it is what it is. What are you going to do? I've been watching over the weekend

because Wrestle Me, a fine wrestling podcast are doing a bit about doing our Christmas shows and so I was watching the WWE production Tough Enough. No, not Tough Enough.

Brawl for All. Brawl for All it's called. Did you just name it your own name? Tough Enough? No, I think Tough Enough is different. I think Tough Enough

might be a different WWE project. There's so many silly names for things in wrestling and I can't keep up. But Brawl for All tough enough no i think it was different i think tough enough might be a different wwe project there's so many silly names for things in wrestling and i can't keep up but brawl for all uh was in 1998 uh and it was a shoot fighting tournament it was basically a answer the wwe's answer to uh like ufc which was obviously uh rising in popularity in in the late 90s and um in popularity in in the late 90s and um the it was created by the writer vince russo for the wwf and they basically had a guy called dr death steve williams he was the um he was like an up-and-coming wrestler and the wwf wanted to make him a star so they created this entire competition uh like an actual boxing slash usc style competition um uh with the proviso proviso that this guy would win it

and then become a big star because he was a legitimate tough guy. So it was real boxing, real kind of fighting. You could take people down and stuff. You had to wear these big stupid boxing gloves. So it wasn't really conducive to grabbing people and taking them down. So what happened was when they when they brought this kind of guy who who they thought was going to win it because he was a legitimate decent boxer um yeah he he wasn't he wasn't very good he got he got he got banged out by a very unlovable and

unfashionable wrestler bart gun uh which is very funny he was a member of uh he was a member of like uh a couple of like tag teams back in the day but he's very unloved and he was he was a bit like he wasn't really fashionable but because he was legitimately quite tough he beat the shit out of everyone and fucked up the entire thing so as soon as they started trying to make wrestling real uh he absolutely destroyed everyone not in the the spirit, is it, Pete? We should, you and I should do that. We should establish the rules and have a boxing slash wrestling slash tussling match,

you and I. And it could be, in many ways, the apex of the Luke and Pete show. Luke and Pete's colossal tussle. The natural end game of the Luke and Pete show. And then we take it to the WrestleMania and then I get knocked out by Butterbean,

which is what happened in that competition. He absolutely destroyed him. We have to take a break, by the way, so we should nick off for one. But before we do that, we'll give this to people

to think about. Do you remember when Johnny Knoxville fought Butterbean in a sports shop for a jacket? Fucking hell. I've never seen one look so terrified. He was more terrified of Butterbean than he was shop for a jacket. Fucking hell. I've never seen one look so terrified. He was more terrified of Butterbean

than he was when he fought that bear. Which is quite understandable. Butterbean's an absolute beast. Anyway, let's take a quick break, Pete. When we come back, we'll do some emails, yeah? All right, then. This week on Stakhanov. Between the Lines with Melissa Reddy

releases a brand new episode exploring the hot topic of head injuries in football. As well as exploring the sports link with dementia with neuropathologist Dr. Willie Stewart, Melissa spoke to ex-Tottenham star Ryan Mason, who was forced to retire after a devastating head injury aged 26. I couldn't look at light.

I was sleeping for like 20 hours a day. I couldn't really hold a conversation. Like I say, when the brain gets an injury, the body almost just instinctively responds and it almost just shuts everything else down.

email section on the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson, joined by Luke Moore. If you would like to get in touch with the show, it's real simple. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. I'll level with you, Luke. We haven't had as many emails in this week as we have in the past. I've found a few. I know you've found a few. I've found a few too, but I'm just saying. Alright, fair enough. If you've got anything to say, get in touch. People need to up their few. I've found a few. I know you've found a few. I've found a few too, but I'm just saying.

All right, fair enough. If you've got anything to say, get in touch. People need to up their game. I know they're building up for Christmas. People who've written to us before and didn't have their emails read out, maybe just give it another go. Yeah, re-up it. Re-up it. Yeah, maybe our standards need to go lower.

Yeah, exactly. So next time around, we might actually read it. I want to start with this one from Eric, who says, Hi, lads. As many of your listeners have been doing, I'm working my way through the old episodes. I'm listening to an episode from July, and a fellow listener mentioned all crisps,

or as they're called in North America, chips, have an expiry date on a Saturday. I checked my cupboard and found a bag of Cheetos. The best before date is February 23rd. In 2021, February 23rd is a Tuesday. Full disclosure, I did buy them from a sketchy convenience store near my apartment, but even if they were very old, in 2020, February 23rd was a Sunday. I also checked some tortilla chips and their best before date is March 3rd,

which is a Wednesday. I just thought your listeners might be interested to avoid getting shown to be fools whenever people get together at parties with chips and they use that piece of trivia. Thank you, Eric from Ottawa. The plot has thickened there. Absolutely thickened.

Yeah. I mean, I would say that like... It might just be the brand walkers, maybe. Yeah. Maybe that's how they do it. And also, I mean, this is north of the border, though. You know, once you get over the Ottawa River, once you get over, you know, once you head towards southern Ontario, you're in trouble, I would say, when it comes to rules and regulations, rules and regs.

Yeah, true. It's the Wild West. What was your impression of Canada when we went there, Peter? I very much enjoyed it. I wanted to stay there, but we had to move on to Chicago. Did we end in Chicago? We did, didn't we? Yeah, yeah.

It was cold, wasn't it? Disappointing. It was lovely and cold. It was indeed, yes. We had some poutine, didn't we? We did have some poutine. Is that the cheese curds? Yeah.

No, it's like chips, gravy, cheese and all that other stuff. Oh, right. What are the cheese curds? Is that that place or is that Chicago? That's when you went to Minnesota. No, I went to Minneapolis, I think. Yeah, Minneapolis I went to. That is in Minnesota. Yeah, but did I go north from Chicago, didn't I?

Yeah. For half an hour. I think that's where I ended up anyway. That's a different town. That's what I'm saying. I know, but the cheese curds, but the cheese curds, they were giving it the big lick. I know I had cheese curds at the airport. I had cheese curds at Chicago airport,

I'm fairly certain. Can I just say, I was having a conversation with my wife earlier this week, or earlier this weekend, and we were talking about... Magic's still there. Yeah, exactly. And we were talking about Mexican food, right? And obviously Mimi's expectation of Mexican food is far higher because in America the standard is much higher, as you'd expect,

because there's a lot more Mexican people there. Anyway, I maintain, and she didn't agree with this, but I maintain the best tacos I've ever had were actually in Atlanta airport. Have you been to Atlanta, right? Imagine if, yeah. But can you imagine you saying that to anybody who is a bit of a foodie in America?

They would probably try to cleave your hand off. I'm going to try and I'm going to speak to Alexis and Christian from the Cooligans podcast. Pizza perverts. Yeah. Who both know loads about food and about, obviously, Latino culture. And I'm going to ask them if it's well known that Atlanta Airport has good tacos.

I suspect the answer's probably no, but I'm going to check anyway. I guess it's a big hub, and it's got to kind of satisfy the needs of loads of people. But I don't remember Atlanta Airport being particularly good at one thing or another. No, I just think that... I didn't know it was as good as the New York and all that much.

Yeah, but I just think that, yeah, but they all are. JFK's are dumb for that. I just think that, a little bit nicer than new york and all that much yeah but i just think that yeah but they all are jfk's are dumb for that i i am i am i just think that like that kind of food is best done really cheaply and really quickly right you don't over complicate that stuff there's a place in um new york city i think it might be called number one tacos or something it's opposite the whatever the theater that harry potter's playing and i can't remember the name of it but there's a taco place opposite that which is absolutely fucking brilliant but then a lot of people will say you're not going to get good Mexican food in New York it's too far away from Mexico you gotta get down to southwest um down to California and all that place those kind of places so who knows we were in Chicago

and we before the show in Chicago uh me uh cameraman Sam and a couple of others just walked down the street um and we we just passed it i was just hungry and and i think marcus and a good other we're kind of following and uh i just went um i just saw this mexican place i'm going in here and uh it was really nice really decent food uh like just dirt cheap as well uh and um sam had a lovely time and he's taking loads of pictures and stuff and he sort of went pete i bet you do this sort of thing all the time and yeah if i'm yeah, if I'm hungry, I'll just walk in a place. I don't need to look at the Expedia review or the bloody, you know, the Foursquare review of what people are just fucking getting. Get the food in your mouth and then leave.

Another bit of evidence in my theory. Doesn't think about it at all. Oh, but if I'm buying a laptop. Oh, if I'm buying a laptop. Yeah, you're there for fucking six months. I watch, right, because I'm buying a laptop. Oh, if I'm buying a laptop. Yeah, you're there for fucking six months. I watch, right, because I'm a YouTube addict. I have got a video game, Cyberpunk 2077. Oh, everyone's talking about it.

Everyone's talking about it. It's what? The bloke with the penis is popping out. One of the more welcome bugs in the video game. You just knob, just flopping out your clothes, flopping out your jeans. I have got it. It's on my computer.

I've had a little bit of trouble with bugs and stuff with it crashes, but I've got it working now. And yet the idea of starting a video game and playing it is so alien to my sort of modern life kind of like that. I just can't find the time emotionally to sit down and play it. I keep watching videos about it rather than actually sit down and play it myself. It's embarrassing. I just watch loads of videos going,

oh, the graphics on this are so good. Yeah, Pete, you can fucking play it. It's on the same computer you're watching this video, you bell. Idiot. Yeah. Has anyone got any copper? What? No man's sky, is it?

Oh, yeah. Sorry, yeah. Jesus Christ. Right, let's get...
