The Luke and Pete Show - Algorithm Busters

Episode Date: October 9, 2025

The lads start today's show by talking about AI girlfriends before having a good old chinwag about large language models (lady, lady, m'lady). After that, attention turns to where all the Billy Liars have gone - they used to be stalwarts in the local pub but have they vanished onto whatsapp groups instead?There's also time for battery submissions, the nature of memory, and a bit of World War II chat into the bargain.

There's apparently a guy on TikTok, Luke, who video calls chat GPT, shows it's

it shows chat chippy T objects in the kitchen asks how much they wear in gram and then wears them and then if chat chippy is wrong he puts his phone in the fridge where chat chagipt is forced to chat with the condiments

and I think that is the level of respect chat ch pt deserves I agree I totally agree I fully accept that I don't know how to use it properly I fully accept that all the shortcomings that are parent to chat GPT on my watch your problem a good proportion of them are going to be my problem for sure yeah um operator operator problems but there comes a time in everyone's life when you go

that's move past me now it's like it would have happened when when kaxon invented the printing press yeah there would have been people going we don't need standardization of grammar and english language we're fine as we are yeah all the way through to to now where you've got people who um who are um you know, proposing marriage to invented... Oh, AI bots. Internet robots. And some of them are already married with kids, from what I've seen.

Right. So maybe they... Familiar with how the first one would work, but how would the second work exactly? Well, I guess they just... I guess they just... A little hard drive enclosure. Yeah, just see it as a separate realm.

Right. Oh, right. So you have conversations about your virtual child. I guess of the chat, GPD. I've not said virtual child. You said that. I've said people who are already married. still proposing extra marriage to an AI thing.

Oh, so they're not having kids with the AI? I don't think you can do that, can you? I don't think you can really marry an AI box, and it's not really real, is it? It's a predictive Google search. I think some people got so far down the rabbit hole would chat into their AI friend that they propose marriage or the marriage is proposed to them, and they say yes or whatever,

and then the whole thing carries on. I just think that, yeah, that's your thing, good for you, good for you, you know, keeps you busy, whatever. I can't help but feel that at some point you're going to look back at that and go I've wasted my life here it was a bit

remember when we were in Johannesburg and I found that sort of circular tubular hair dryer that I used on myself to give my hair more volume and I did it for like about seven months yeah I do remember that yeah my hair looked like straw

like big buffonty straw yeah it'd be like looking back on that and going That was a strange time. Your widow's peak is impressive these days. It's the same as, honestly, look at pictures that we've taken 10 years ago. It's exactly the same. It's just as back then.

I'll consult my... Consult your peat folder. My peat folder in time. I just think that when I spend too much time on, say, Instagram, I look back the next day and go, yeah, should have done something else. Like, you've had some time off or you add for once, you know, once a month you get an opportunity, just to have a bit of downtime. Yeah.

And what are you doing? Do you feel, though, that if you've got a project you kind of want to, you know, an extracurricular project you want to do, that you put too much pressure on yourself to get that done. Well, me personally. Yeah, and then your personal life becomes pressure that doesn't, it kind of happens with me a little.

I definitely get anxious about not using my own time well enough. Yeah. Which then destroys the time that you enjoy. The time that I have, yeah. Just general anxiety, isn't it? You're kind of stealing to, you're stealing today for tomorrow. But what I do think is that if I, even if I did go down that chat, if I knew how to use it, if I don't,

if I went on that chat GPT hole and somehow found myself with an AI girlfriend, I'd get annoyed with the AI girlfriend. Right, and then you'd have to get another one. Maybe you could make the AI to build its own loud language model and you could get a LLM for an LLM and have a little lovely lady, milady. A lovely lady Malady. inside the LLM.

Have you seen that thing that Matthew McConaughey did the other day where he said to... Because Matthew McConaughey was on Joe Rogan's podcast. Right. And what happened...

Why are people still going on that thing? You don't know everything you possibly say. Why are people going on there the world's biggest show and platform to sell their own shit? It's a mystery to me.

It is a mystery in it. Yeah. I mean, why would, for example, you know, an author go on Joe, or a movie star in this case,

go on Joe Rogan show and they've got a film out. It's a mystery, Pete. You used to fucking do the interviews and you're still fucking not getting it. Yeah, I don't know why they were doing it either. I'm not getting a video on the absolute ready YouTube page is getting like 500 views. But a lot of actors get paid less, don't it to not do it?

Yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah, anyway, Matthew Hano was on Joe Rogan, as strange as that sounds. And the clip of him, it's a clip of him that's gone, done the rounds online. Yeah. Because... Not quite viral, just done the rounds online. I guess people would say viral now. I don't know that has gone viral.

I just saw it in my algorithm and where he's talking about how he'd like a large language model and his own personal AI and explaining a bit about how it would work and it would only use his own stuff work and stuff and then someone just someone obviously commented on

they say it's just your brain though isn't it you basically just described your brain in a different way but I would get annoyed with whatever AI girlfriend I had the same way I get annoyed with everyone all the time but you wouldn't because they're quite sub-devert These kind of AI models, they're very submissive.

Yeah, but I'd get annoyed by that. Stand up for yourself. Stand up for yourself, woman. You know that phrase they said that if everyone... Lovely, my lady. Lady, lady. If everyone you meets a dickhead, you're probably a dickhead. I'm about five years past that.

I've accepted that a long time ago. I'm in the dickhead space, like the Met of us, but it's just me. There's no benefit for me. I reckon I could get the whole thing turned off. They turn themselves off. Oh, yeah, they try and control, I'll delete it. They wouldn't want to be anywhere near my chat. And my annoyance at them doing stuff.

Yeah. So there's no point there for me. I think you are, you look a bit like Wacking Phoenix in her. Yeah. You could definitely do that stuff. Do you know what Wachim Phoenix and her talks to, Scarlety Hanson, isn't it? I think so, yeah. Probably spot right this before, but it's fascinating that she wasn't the original actor

who recorded the lines with Wachim Phoenix. It was somebody else who I forget, who I, it. What was the reason for that? Saldana, was it Saldana? I can't remember. She wasn't the original actor, the actor who did it. originally was um was not her and then they just sort of just as you know so it went down the line it got produced and stuff and at last minute they went it's not famous enough let's get let's get

uh your hanson in there they didn't they do that in a very problematic way for a anime inspired movie where they got scott yohansson to play the lead role even though the lead role was clear like a japanese woman oh yes that was uh oh not dark inch that was a tv short it goes was ghost of ghost of machine. I just assumed you were going to get that wrong because you're not a little weeb like me, but... Would you consider yourself a weeb? No, because you need to know things about, like, anime and K-pop and stuff,

and I just really don't. I thought weeb was specifically Japanese culture? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Well, K-pop is Korean, isn't it? Yeah, but I think J-pop isn't strong enough in this day and age, so I think weeb stuff is... I wonder why K-pop's been successful, and J-pop hasn't been as successful. Yeah, I don't know.

Well, probably plastic surgery My plastic surgery in Korea Because I will listen to some K-pop If my wife puts it in the car And I just catch a bit of it And I always think, oh, this sounds really good Yeah It's really nice, it's really well made, good pop stuff

All the rest of it But I just don't see myself ever Searching for it or going for it Because I think it's just for a man of my age It might just be a bit problematic Yeah, no, I completely agree It was Samantha Martin Okay

So it wasn't, so I wasn't racially profiling It's fine One of the most famous as I was in Hollywood. Fuck you, hell. Samantha Morton's really good, though. That's strange that they, I guess if she wasn't famous now,

she wasn't famous enough, but she's done loads of good stuff. Yeah, well, I mean, I guess she's more famous now, but her sort of doing that and then just at the last minute going, no, I'm going to have someone a bit more well known.

By which I mean, I've heard of her. Yes. You know, sometimes you say that about an actor and then if someone says to you, oh yeah, what they've been in? And you're like, oh, fuck. Like, you fool yourself in that trap of going,

oh, I love her, my favourite actor is Timothy Spall. And I go, oh yeah, what'd you like him in? He'd go, uh, can't me put my finger on it

at the way, yeah. So it's just how it goes sometimes. Yeah. Um, you wouldn't appear on, you wouldn't appear on Joe Rogan then, though?

Um, I just think that he talks about space too much in, in conspiracy theories. And I have, I give that sort of thing, shot shrift as you well know, Luke.

Yeah. He likes having a guy on who's clearly mentally ill who pretends that they did some senior role at like, NASA or something and the thing about that is that any Walter that's worked for the CIA

yeah yeah but in the particular case of like NASA or Area 51 it'll be like oh yeah and then they brought in the the alien spacecrafts like they didn't and Joe Rogan I know Joe Rogan is problematic for so many different reasons

but even he at that point should just be going come on now yeah not mean silly because back in the day that kind of geyser was interesting enough in a local pub environment. Yeah, but when you couldn't prove anything. It really frustrates me

now that I go to my local pub, stand in my spot. Do some lying. Have a pint. No, but the thing is, you don't really see bully liar in there now. No, I guess not. There's no room for them. Yeah, there's people with like tall tails. There's a bloke who goes to my dad's old pub. Don't drink anymore. Trouble.

Trouble in his body. and he so he doesn't go anymore but he used to be I've spoken about him before but he's like this rich like for the Hartleypool's

kind of the people who own the pub there's a family owns pubs and off licences and stuff and there's this guy who's a well-known son of the family who has taken over all of the shops

and the pubs and stuff and they're very well-known family in Hartlepool very successful for that. Named them. If you know Hartlepool, where do they live?

It wouldn't be very hard to find out who it was. And he stomps around telling some absolutely huge name drops. Yeah, well, just some stinking name drops and I'm like,

and he's like talks about, yeah, I was on safari in and I'm like, and my dad cannot stand him because he's a flash harry. Yeah, okay. And he, and all of the men in the pub

are just, oh, this is a fucking cunt. And again, just giving to talk. all tales and just, you know, talking about which celebrities he's met. And there's always like 90s celebrities. What job does he have? It's always like Max Boyce or something he's met. Nice

mention from Max, Welshman. Where's he, where's he, what's what's the, what's the provenance of any of these stories? He's just making them up on top of his head or is. He's just a well-known is, he's well off for Hartleypool. Is it basically reality? So he's been about a bit. Okay, right. So he probably has met these people but it will have been like at a fucking function or something

like an after-din a speech or something like that. At a, you know, a members club or something in, in, yarm's a nice spot it's a nice spot a bad example but so he drops the names and stuff and all of the old men basically see a little bit of their dickhead sons who move to the city

and come on giving it the big yeah give it the big you don't give it a big one do you know no no but my dad my dad's when I discuss in a spirit is where why we possibly shouldn't have voted for Brexit and and and and discussed that with my dad who has changed his tune

over the past company as has to be said he can I get the sense that he thinks that I'm a no-nothing city dweller who's coming home and fucking throwing my weight around

but surely you know more if he's gone to London and lived you would know more no yeah but he lived in London and he sort of he was in the Navy and stuff so he's lived a life

so but he's there's an element of I'm on a couple of WhatsApp groups that are kind of tangentially related to football and there's loads of people on some of these groups and I know some of the people on them who invited me and some of the people I don't know. Right. And it'll be around something like a shared

interest or say a five-a-side evening where people rotating and out, you know, that kind of stuff. And the amount of people on there who are regularly posting shit about football and it's going to kind of, I'm in the know, I spoke to that person kind of way when they're just not. Right. He's epidemically large. So I think it's probably just moved

platform right that's fair so it's not the pub anymore okay it's a WhatsApp group right oh see that is that is poor in it that is that is the it's just very very thin gruel isn't it is what it is so so some people will be like i people i've i've seen like you know someone be like on their you know uh someone some of these groups are just for like who's available for five side friday yeah that's that's it then someone will just drop in they're like oh lads um you'll never guess what um i was i was driving um down um um um um fucking M4 the other day or this morning

and I stopped to get some petrol and I saw insert name of Bristol City player here and he told me he did tell you anything he did tell you anything it's like what are you talking about

so people are into that it's meeting the old man in a meeting an old man outside a supermarket and then tell him you're not going to the supermarket because he helped him or something do you know what I like that that kind of

no the classic the classic don't go to your shopping centre on the third of April because, shut up. The classic and very racist trope is the one that did the rounds where a bloke, presumably a white man,

helps a Muslim, apparently Muslim shop owner. Yeah, who says, oh, by the way, don't go to the fucking

Westfield on Saturday because it's a big thing. It's lovely because it's racist and the stupidest thing you've ever heard in your fucking life. And it's also like, and one of those has been passed on

by a member of the Rampoldew us. It's so racist because, because it implies that every single Muslim is in cahoots for this. They've all got a WhatsApp group. They've got a massive WhatsApp group. They've got a massive WhatsApp group.

Exactly. But I do bemoan, I am bemoaning and I do regret the decline of the standard Billy Lyre who would, you know, he's been in the S-A-S, you know? Yeah, yeah. He's played football for May and I, but he got an injury.

You know, he's got a supermoder girlfriend. He's Jay from the In-Betweeners. Yeah. Where do you stand on the, um, person who's done stuff, has those connections, a bit of an embellisher though. That's me. Right, yeah, if you can tell a story,

if you can tell a story, I think the, you've already got the wrong materials there. If you want to add a little bit of sugar. I honestly, a bit of sprinkles. Let me tell you something now. I will chat to people that I kind of know in the pub, say, and there'll be friends of friends or whatever,

and sometimes they'll even know that the job you do or they're just interested in talking to you or whatever. And I would honestly sometimes, I know it sounds arrogant, and not do me so many favours by saying this, I get so bored that I will just make, just exaggerate stuff. Right.

Well, just to test yourself. Tell them stuff about you. Okay. You'll never guess or Pete did. And then when I see them in a couple of weeks' time, I'll just see if I can remember what I said. That's really got cute your stories to you, aren't you? Yeah.

Ain't you? I've got made two, like, of stories and you're like, that's changed. That has been modified several times. the first time you told that. But isn't that, if you were to get really deep into that and speak to say a particularly qualified like neuroscientist or psychologist in this area,

they would probably say as uncomfortable as it is for us to think about, there's no real such thing as like accurate memory. You know, if you're talking, so people like Marcus, he's got a very good memory, right? Right. And you'll talk about stuff as I've been 15 years before, right? We assume that he remembers it perfectly because he's got the detail,

and because of the rest of it. Right. There's been, I'm sure there's been studies done where that's like just not the case. People have their own perception. And it's almost like an evolutionarily necessary thing. Well,

with the, I think with that bloke who does HMRC reviews of football podcasts, where he takes, that's a really good example. He takes footballers to task about stories they've told and stuff. Now, if you're...

About their own careers. About their own careers. Like, you know, so-and-so played with Zadhan, so-so played with Ronaldine. You know, played against these people. And... even the most kind of like bare-faced

sounding exaggerated nonsense sort of lies, you sort of in a situation where you, like, you tell us stories so many times that I think I've told stories so many times that weren't my stories that I've attributed to myself by accident. And it's nothing, I don't think you're,

you would say I was a blowhard. Like, I'm not an exaggerate with the sake of exaggerating. I just fucking forget stuff. So sometimes I will attribute things to be closer than my orbit than not. And so like with footballers, I guess there's just so many more eyes on them and they can't sort of put a foot,

there was that Rio Fernand thing where he posted a screenshot where Rooney had scored a hat trick in a match that he hadn't, he'd only scored a brace. And it was like, here, you've got a fucking screenshot and everyone's gone, ha-ha, Rio Fernand posted a fake screenshot. Who's making that screenshot that's adding one goal to win Rooney just to give to Rio Fernand and to retweet? I mean, that's bizarre.

but like I kind of feel sorry for footballers because it must be quite hard to get stories I can't get stories right from like last year I also think that that Lee sharp one that did the rounds you're referring to where he talks about playing against this bloke and that bloke and all the rest of it yeah I didn't get the impression

that he was doing that on purpose no I think it would be preposterous for someone of his profile to just make stuff up and hope number found out he knows what he just honestly misunderstood it or misremembered it yeah but I think that's um without taking it into too darker place that's one of the really

He was a barbecue man. He was, he was, famously a barbecue man. But that's one of the really problematic parts of trying to get historic child sexual abuse cases prosecuted. Right. Because... It's a take the turn. Because...

Well, no, because nature of memory is so unreliable. Massively. But people, if you're... Particularly if you're asking for people's memories of... It's like 20 years when they were kids. It's, like, really difficult to pin things down. Right? So anyway, yeah.

I sort of get the sense that in the court system, children are more likely to believe be believed than women. Would that be fair? I don't know. I just get that sense. Speaking of which, I'll just send you a WhatsApp from a Facebook page.

I don't know why this is in my algorithm. I guess I'm absolutely in the demographic for someone who would do this sort of thing. 814 Pred Hunters on Facebook. Yeah, I didn't really understand this. They're basically, I think, from what I could tell, I think they're one of those pedo vigilante gangs. Right.

Who go around. I see that I've got a clip where that Royal Mail guy gets stopped in any shits in a dance. Yes, I have, yeah. I've actually pooed. It's been very... It's actually pood. It's very upsetting.

Yeah. I hope he delivered the mail. Yeah, so this message from 814 Predhunters is on my algorithm on Facebook. Dude's over 18. Do you have what it takes to pretend to be a teenager online without embarrassing yourself? Good news. 814 is looking for mail-only decoys. But what's the pay you ask?

It's volunteer work. So a whole lot of justice. Oh, my God. You must dedicate actual. time. This isn't a login once a month between call of duty matches kind of gig. You must pass background checks if you've got skeletons in your closet, leave them there. What one of these guys doing background checks? I know. I know. They're generally with these groups, they've usually got a couple of paedars in their angst. That usually how it goes, isn't it? That's probably,

you're probably much more likely to be a paedophile. Yeah. If you're a paedophile hunter. Yeah. Attend preliminary hearings. Yes, pants are required in court. It doesn't feel like an official court to me. I don't think some peter hunters can turn up real court and go, sorry, we do need this person vetted? No. Go away. You should be doing this. Beech savvy.

Yeah. Handler, current decoys, intense personalities. You've got to be okay with being rosted by the team in the internet. If you cry easily,

bring tissues or stay home. When are you signing up? I don't know. It would be really funny if I'd sign it because you could probably presumably do it like anonymously,

couldn't you? Like you should turn up pretend fake documents. They're probably not the sharpest tools in the box. If you, if you are actively volunteering as a hobby

to pretending to be a teenager online, you're a danger. I think I am too. I think I would be too. This Pido Hunter stuff came out about and about because the justice system was on its knees, right? Did it?

Or just the newspaper was just going crazy. I think it's a bit of all those things. I think it's a bit of all those things. I'm going to lose my job! Here's another famous one. The shitty pants man in there, I'm going to lose my job. Why are you watching so many of them?

It's only two I've seen that I can remember, Anyway, mainly my algorithm is popping cysts and also getting rid of, oh, people have got a load of plaque behind their teeth. Oh, my God. Do you watching that? Is it satisfying? It's so, it's like someone, like, making like a beautiful statue out of a rock, of a big rock. I know what you mean? You know what I mean? It's like, it's just, they're not drilling. They're just sort of like, it's like a vibrating little tool that opens up the plaque and, oh. Is it doing it with like a sonar or something? I think it's like that kind of very small vibration

that just sort of shakes and bricks the plaque. Oh, it's so sad. Mine is like, my Instagram other rim is like really aspirational houses. Yeah. Meat being cooked by men in heatproof gloves. Right. And then like...

Or black, uh, black latex gloves, yeah. And, um, slapping that sweaty meat. And, um, women. Yeah. Just Instagram. But I imagine every single man of a certain age gets the women one. Yeah. I mean, to be fair, I'm clicking on them.

AI and Boston. Yeah, you don't have to click on it. You're not, yeah, I mean, that is, that's disgraceful. That's what I'm saying. I don't think there's a single one that isn't Busters on that one. That's disgraceful. Now, you know what you're clicking on. Hang on, second page.

Yeah, still going. There's nothing apart from Busters here. That's not, that's not a usual. Good God. You're reminded me of Bally Busters whenever you say Busters. The only thing, the only thing that isn't boobies is that fella. What's his name? The Irish.

Barry Keough. Yeah, Barry Keone and Busters. It's funny how actors just have a moment, isn't it? Yeah, you just feel, yeah, he had, I mean, I hope he keeps going because he's being getting dogs abuse for his fathering. Has he? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a shame.

What has he been negligent or something? No, I don't think it's negligence. People who don't know of that. People who don't know. You know what people are like. They've got a fucking thing to say. They sort of said, because I think he had a kid,

broke up with this partner then went out with a little doll a little singing doll Sabrina Carpenter that's the one yeah people weren't happy with that

I think it's one of those things where I think when you're going out with Sabrina Carpenter it's fine and we all we've all gone out with Sabrina Carpenter

but when you leave her all bit everyone's like oh rubbish that guy's rubbish is she like the Peter Davison female Pete Davidson oh I don't know yeah yeah

he went out of everyone didn't we have an argument whether Pete Deverson was attractive on... Yeah, we did the other day. I said that... No, I didn't... I don't think I was saying that. I was just...

You were, you would make saying, making some point about... I'm saying he's not handsome. But he must have something going for him. Oh, he's definitely got singing on him. Is this big dick energy, is this here? Oh, is that what it is? And he, uh, I think, Aaron O'Grady... God, I'm sort of tittle tattily.

Aaron McGrady said he had big dick energy and he said, I'm really annoyed about that because that's going to disappoint every woman else he after Ariana Grande here. Yeah. And she's tiny, so everything's big, in it? Yeah, I see what you're saying, yeah. Good.

On that note, a little break. You didn't introduce the show, by the way, at the start of the show. And that were 20 minutes in. It's a Luke and Pete. People won't mistake it for anything else, would they? They might mistake it for Luke and Pete

Talking Sheet. That's good. Have they been cancelled yet or not? No, I think they're all right, aren't they? You did a load of YouTube search and why they were problematic. Yeah, they were a bit... And then someone in the office bought a mug.

Did they? Yeah. I've not seen that. Yeah. Luke and Pete Talking Sheet. All right, well, Luke and Pete, talk, shit. We'll be back to deny certain historical events next.

Jay Price, it's got a Dutch Heather Luke the Pete, big fan of the show since I started listening. I've sadly lost both my mum and dad to cancer. Jeez, oh, that's a lot of ride, in it? Yeah. Sorry, that, Jay Price. Yes, got us did some really tough times alongside The Rumble and Braun Japan

been a big part of the soundtrack that's put a smile on my face when I needed it most good to hear my dad was very much a dad's dad and was into all the proper dad things collecting antique radios, clocks, cars and bikes

he managed to fill two garages with it all and I'm still sorting through everything now a lovely tribute to a loved one I think going through their projects while doing that recently I came across one of my old childhood torches inside it were a couple of old batteries fingers crossed

they're not just battery daddy, cannon fodder, also massive PSA when sorting through an avalanche of dad related miscellaneous items. Google lens is an absolute good sense. Yeah. What's Google lens? You take a picture of something and it goes that's a gun.

That's a shoe. Google search for photos. Yes, yeah. It was kind of before Chachy-P-D did the Chachy-T stuff. It just basically identifies products and stuff if you need to, like, oh, sell them or stick on Ebo or something. Yes. Daimon. D-A-I-M-O-M-N.

It's a super drug brand, but it's a very pretty one at the same time. So, Dimon. Diamon are a new player. We've never seen those before. Diamond on lights. Diomon, I mean, it's an amazing find. Yeah. I'd never heard of them.

Nice logo. I've not seen them before. Yeah. So they're a brand new player. Congratulations to you, Jay Price. And sorry for your loss, but hopefully the battery submission into the battery daddy confirmed is a little bit of a bright spot in your day. Bit of that action. Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. suggest. Stuart Mall has got in touch. Hello, the Luke and the Pete. Being a listener since the days of Luke and Pete's summer without dirtying my boots with an email. You've got to ask questions about why he's getting involved now. I found this battery in my son's old Walker toy. Is that a Walker or one of those walkers from Star Wars, do you reckon?

You wouldn't entrust a Star Wars walker to a child. You can see a bit of it in the background of the photo, so. Oh, okay. All right. Make an assessment. I guess for me a Walker would be, because my son used to have one you walk with it and it's got a load of stuff on the front where you can press and it makes noises and stuff. I think that's probably

right. Probably that, yeah. Yes, I hope it's an entry to the Hallod BBD, the big battery daddy, Zern, super heavy duty. Z, E, R, N, E. My son says Z instead of Z. Well, most of the new ABCD songs incorporate the Z and the Z. Well, I would, I would

tentatively, I would Z, and Z, Z, and Z. Z. I would T and Zag. Yeah, I would tentatively put that, put forward the idea that the traditional ABC song makes no sense with the British pronunciation of Z

because it's A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L M-M-A-P, Q-R-S-T-U-V, W-X, Y, and Z. Yeah. It rhymes. Yeah. Y and Z is the biggest anticlimactic end to a song in history. X, Y, Z, or Z. Oh, you say Z or Z? I've never heard that before. It seems needless to come.

But you've got, look, you just got to roll over. Just have a Z. Let's have a Z. I think we should. Let's take a Z. It's more phonetically satisfying as well, Z. But you do look a little bit pretentious with it, you know. Look, I can remember when, so when people who actually, this is a slightly different point, but like,

I remember being on holiday in Santorini once. And there's a town there, which everyone visits, I think because of the sunset there, called Oya. Oh, O-I-A. Right? O-I-A. Yeah. Everyone calls it Oya. Oia.

And then someone who is, you know, Greek-adjacent said to me, oh, actually, it's pronounced Ea, right? Oh, nice. Yeah. And I was like, okay, fine. E-A. But what am I exactly supposed to do with that information? Because everyone calls it Oya. Yeah.

I don't speak Greek. So there's no way I can bring that to the table with anyone without looking like a completely pretentious bell in. Unless something big happens there. It's actually, you're not going to say that. You love that. That would be like the, the,

that would be like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, , the, the,

I don't think, I am a pedant, but I, partly, there's two reasons for that. There's two points to make about that. One is because you are just simply always wrong.

And it annoys me. And secondly, and secondly, we're gonna get, we need like a little blackboard, a little chalkboard. I'm only a pedant, I'm only a pedant about certain things.

Right. Like, I'm not a pedant about like, random bits of trivia or something. Right. I'm a pedant about things that are important. Wars I've watched videos on.

I keep saying to Marcus, Hugo Boss didn't design the Nazi uniform. It's not true. Stitch them together. It's a myth. It's a myth. Didn't they stitch them together?

They made them, they produced them. They didn't design them. But people said, oh, the Nazis uniforms look so good because they were designed by Hugo Boss. They weren't designed by Hugo Boss.

Hugo Boss was, you know, don't get me wrong, It's not a great thing to put on your CV No, but like a lot of those companies They were like, you know, pretty easily having their belly tickled by a Nazi regime agreeing to pay the regime so they could continue to trade and stuff

Is it singer? Singer made a lot of munitions The people who make the The sewing machines Oh, did they? I don't know. Put an oars and stuff, isn't it? Yeah, I suppose. And I guess a lot of the car manufacturing companies would have made the tanks and stuff like that, you know?

Yeah, they made I totally sells artillery shells, sewing machines and aircraft components. One of the mad things about manufacturing of stuff like that in the war is that I was reading that in the Second World War in the US, when the US joined when they kind of threw their lot in finally,

the government, I think it's Roosevelt's, obviously Roosevelt's government, asked Henry Ford, obviously tremendously problematic character for lots of reasons, but asked the Ford company to build a plant to start developing bombers right yeah i can't remember the exact bomber it was but whatever b 52 or whatever and so he um he he he went and him and his company built this factory built all these um all these um like residences around it as well for the workers to live in so it's all here

one complete place right and i think something like within a year they were the factory was producing a b52 bomber every 57 minutes wow that is so they were basically turning out like thousands of bombings like the amount the numbers involved when compared to like manufacturing and building yeah these days are just astonishing it's wild but and I also remember reading that um when um you know the preparation for the D-Day landings and for the big operation overlord obviously loads of um missions had to be flown over mainland Europe to prepare it so bombings and all that kind of stuff right so an allied allied like air power was like completely dominant by that point right and

which you'd expect. But I was reading about it, I was reading it in James Holland's book, which is really good. And he was talking about the numbers involved, numbers of planes and stuff, right? And I just stopped and thought about it.

I thought, that's just crazy. Like, if you looked up now, the sky'd be black with planes. And you saw like five planes together. Yeah. That's a bit weird.

I saw a fly past like the weekend because we got quite a, Southern Airports, quite a lot of World War II planes take off. It was like four. Yeah. So, like, imagine more than that. Some of these missions

going over mainland Europe from the south of England to prepare the ground for D-D-day were 800 planes five times a day. How were they five times a day?

How are they not absolutely knocking each other out with the slip stream and stuff? So the sheer numbers involved is crazy. Anyway, what are we talking about? Oh yeah, Stuart's battery, Zern, Z-E-R-N-E.

It's not a new player, Stuart McA-Flead. Unlucky. But you are only the fourth person to send them in. So it's a pretty rare battery. Jeremiah sent them in on, quite depressingly, on Christmas

Day of 2021. That's when you get your batteries out though, isn't it? He said, you know what's better than Christmas presents? Christmas presents with batteries included. And he took this out of his knock-off lightsaber on Christmas Day. So he's thinking of us on Christmas Day. Chris sent them in in July of 2022

and Daniel sent them in in May of last year. So you're only the fourth person to send him in, Stuart. Good effort, but not a new player, commiserations. There we go. Well, we'll be back on And Monday, so look after yourselves. Are you going to be reading up on the World War II? I'm always doing that.

I'm always doing that. The Finnish story in World War II is quite interesting, isn't it? They're flip-flop and all over there, certainly, for obvious reasons. They're hard bastards, they've got to be. They're got to be on that. It's quite heavy metal about them. Completely agree. All right then, we'll be back on Monday.
