Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Luke and Pete show. He's the Amanda Knox to my murdered... Hang on. Hang on. What? What? You're Amanda Knox, Foxy Noxie. And I'm the murdered roommate.
Starting point is 00:00:23 Yeah, but first of all... I have a bit of that. Yeah. First of all, she was acquitted. You acquitted? Yeah, fine. The roommate remains murdered. The roommate remains murdered.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Yeah, but I think by implication here, you're in very, very shaky ground the way you phrased it. Right, okay. Look, I think everything, I don't think she's going to start. She's doing it. She's doing Edinburgh show. I know, I saw that. Wild. Absolutely wild.
Starting point is 00:00:49 I'll tell you what, if it is, as I understand it, and Bruno can check this and edit it accordingly, if it is that she was obviously found to be culpable and then she was acquitted, and now she's a free person having not been involved in it. I would bloody love to hear that story. It's like a really interesting story. Yeah, I guess so. And my first sympathy, of course, would be with the victim of such a horrendous crime. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:13 But I guess in a smaller way, she's also a victim. Because she's obviously gone through all of that. You know, because if she's got found not guilty, so, you know, we have to say that she didn't do it. Yeah, so apparently the final decision of the Supreme Court was that it was without, the case was without foundation, definitively acquitted them both her and her friend of murder and her defamation conviction was upheld though so she had already served
Starting point is 00:01:40 time in prison for that so she didn't have to serve any time and yeah anyway so the point being that like I'm going to make I'm going to take a bit of a flyer here and say I think that there's a good chance that the Italian police may have been incompetent because that's always the case in these types of things and now she's telling her story
Starting point is 00:02:01 I think it'll be a really interesting story to hear. No, I agree. But I presume we've already heard that story. Not really. It would have been heard from loads of different lenses, wouldn't it? Yeah, yeah, true. So I think it would be interesting. There was a guy who was at all,
Starting point is 00:02:21 when he found guilty of it who served loads of time in prison for it. Anyway, why are you calling me that? Why did you call me that? I literally saw the piece about, She's going to Edinburgh. But I think you're more of a... You'd be more of more interest to the tabloids. I think I'm too slippery for the tabloids.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Because I'm boxing. Because I'm boxing. Because I'm boxing. Because you're boxum and handsome and outspoken. I think, you know, radio loudmouth, Luke Moore. They would definitely call me that as well. They would radio loudmouth. Shock jock, Luke Moore.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I tell you what, speaking of that. I was the new radio career going on. Yeah, I'm not really a shock jock. You just picked it back up again, right. I'm very much a kind of... What's the day? are you a permanent fixture of TS? No, I think
Starting point is 00:03:05 they needed, I mean, by the time this comes out, the whole foul jamboree might be completed, but they wanted me to I said that, you know, I'd be happy to come back. And they said they would really love me to come back because they've got a load of space to fill because people on holiday in the summer post-World Cup. It's the radio on DJ at Christmas
Starting point is 00:03:26 kind of giving it to all of the student-ridium radio. Yeah, it's not like me to blow my own trumpet. as you well know, Peter, but if I were to do so just for a second, and I think our listeners and viewers would forgive me for doing so, because they're very generous of spirit. I would say I'm a bit of a Swiss Army knife. I can do a bit of everything.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Very versatile, yeah. And that was therefore demonstrated on the first weekend I came back because I did a bit of co-hosting on transfers and the Premier League, and then the Sunday night I hosted Trans-Europe Express in Andy Brassel's absence, who's doing it in Danny Kelly's absence, who obviously has been on well and we wish all the best because he's a bloody legend
Starting point is 00:04:04 but we also wish him all the best because he's a human but great human being and so yeah I was able to kind of step in and help out where they needed me and I've not been put on any really big day parts if I'm being honest but then I've been away for a while and I'm very happy to be doing it anyway it keeps you sharp and it keeps your eye in and it keeps you across all the stories and all the stuff automatically and there's been some really interesting shit there's been like that FIFA and Fantino thing's been interesting
Starting point is 00:04:30 There's been a lot of transfers. It's actually been quite good. So it's been lots and lots of fun, so I've been enjoying it. There's a man with a very rich voice on talk spots. Irish fella, ex-footballer. I forget his name, but he's got a very rich voice and he talks. I'm surprised that you forgot his name. He's like a jobbing kind of Premier League footballer.
Starting point is 00:04:55 But he's got the most beautiful rich voice that I very much enjoy listening to. It's a big part of it, isn't it? I was feel like my voice, so I naturally recoil from people who put a professional radio voice on to broadcast. Yeah. I don't like that. It's not my thing.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I don't do it. I can't do it. That's probably why I don't do it. And I like people who are authentic. But if you've already got a great voice, then you can, you know, you're halfway there, really. Yeah, well, he's kind of, he made me giggle because he's usually really. good but um over the infantino stuff i think he was just sick of talking about infantino uh this fella
Starting point is 00:05:36 and he was basically like we had a production meeting before the start of the show me said we'd and i was just i'm just bored of it all it's just like yeah well you do have to talk about you though i know it's boring it's like when we used to have that um that's uh we were took uh wdb we have started doing uh really a show on serious xm and i was like fucking hell well i hope you get your invoices in because we didn't get a bit fuck all of them, series like when Rambled did their, did our show. And we used to get basically no calls
Starting point is 00:06:08 on anything apart from Josie Marino. It was just absolutely insane. I was literally saying this to someone on the road end of a day in the outbreak. I was saying, and thankfully we've had loads of, we were on the show I was on, we had loads of calls and it was great and it was always really interesting to chat for different people. But I did say to him,
Starting point is 00:06:25 honestly, in my experience, if you ever want people to ring up, just mention and Jose Marino. Yeah. It's mad, it's mad. The charisma of the man. It's a secret sauce. Yeah, it's, people have just got a massive opinion on it.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah. And, and, um, the, the, uh, the switchboard just lights up as soon as, um, since he did. When I was, when I was, um, on the show the other day, um, I actually felt quite bad for the kid. Um, there was a, um, a new BA there. Right. He was making teas and stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:55 It was like his first day. Right. And so he comes in, bless him. and I get it's quite intimidating going into a radio studio particularly for the first time right and if you've seen it already or you've heard
Starting point is 00:07:04 you listen to it it's a big deal and he was lovely really nice kid yeah and he came in and he was obviously told to ask him he wants drinks
Starting point is 00:07:12 and it was me the other presenter and I think the news reader might be in there as well and so I ordered a cup of tea the guy with me ordered I think a mocker
Starting point is 00:07:19 or something and this other newsread ordered something else anyway so he goes off he told us off and makes his teas and he comes back in
Starting point is 00:07:27 right And he makes them in these takeaway cups with the lids on. So you just got it there. You put it there. And you're doing a link or you're chatting about stuff. So you don't obviously drink it immediately. Is that to save the desk? Is that it?
Starting point is 00:07:39 He's got a lid on to serve the desk. Yeah, there's like a little table next to you under the desk. Yeah. Because it's all very visual now. That's a other thing. Yeah. When I did Trans Europe Express,
Starting point is 00:07:46 like presenting it on my own the other week, he's fucking envision the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. I can't tell you how different it is. Yeah. Wild. You've got to be a TV presenter.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Yeah. Which I'm not equipped to do. do. Anyway, so the point of the story is that he had made these drinks with like really, really old off milk. He had just grabbed some milk from like the side. Yeah. They've been there for days. And it was fucking disgusting. That's a thing though, isn't it? Oh, God. I drank some of the tea while my co-host was making a point.
Starting point is 00:08:19 So I'm in vision. I'm like it in vision. All right. Oh, bloody hell. Yeah, I was awful. And I thought, I can't make a big deal out of this on air because it's not It's fine to piss out of Bruno without a Mike to defend himself but you can't have to a young lad who's just
Starting point is 00:08:32 just starting out I said to it anyway in the ad break I took it into the gallery I was like look mate this is this is not good enough he was mortified
Starting point is 00:08:43 and I said to him he said I'm so sorry I said it's fine don't worry about it but it's important to me that you know that I'm not being a total diva here and I think it's also important
Starting point is 00:08:53 that you taste it yourself and he was like all right fair enough and he tastes it and he was like, oh, that is fucking horrible. Sorry, mate. So I thought if he tastes it himself, he probably won't do it again.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious. Brilliant. Yeah. Yeah. But again, that's when you have a job and you just sort of go through the motions,
Starting point is 00:09:11 don't you, of doing it? And then you are kind of like, and then you are just sort of a little bit, what would you say? You do sort of, just go through the motion. You never sort of find yourself, you never go through the error checking of sort of a shit.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Because you just assume that because someone else has done their job, they've not removed the milk out of the fucking fridge. I mean, I don't know how it happened. Yeah. News internet. It's a News UK building. It's a nice building. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:39 They get pretty well I looked after there. Yeah. It wouldn't happen in fora, would it? Where we are? No. No. We did bloody good stuff in four, I would say. The milk is very fresh.
Starting point is 00:09:48 The snacks are good. The milk is very fresh. The snacks are good. I'll tell you what, it is a proper oasis in this fucking horrible six heat wave long summer, where you can go into the office, it's beautifully air-conditioned. We're very fortunate, really. Nice snacks, good drinks.
Starting point is 00:10:02 You can kind of relax a bit. There's a gym. Have you used the gym yet? No. Have you had a little float? How about you? They've got like a... You used to love to lift,
Starting point is 00:10:13 you? You lift, bro, don't you? I've went in a couple of times to try and get on top of my asthma and stuff. But yeah, just kind of... I'll tell you what. A very messy weights bench. Where all the weights are.
Starting point is 00:10:25 they've bought too many weights and not enough shelves and it's a bit of a mess if I'm completely honest that's why I've not been there too many weight no too many weights I don't want to be mucking about with that stuff I honestly have no I never have had any interest in that stuff I know it's fashionable now and I also know it's very good for you
Starting point is 00:10:46 particularly because you get older resistance training is really good as you get older because you lose a lot of muscle mass don't you yeah your muscle starts to kind of worth the way I've always preferred it to any kind of endurance any kind of running, any kind of jogging. It's just so much easier because you're done in like 10 seconds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Do another. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Then you're done. Also, you're playing a lot. Football for Villanova over 50s as well. Well, you know, that's quite a workout. Not playing many of those matches, but yeah. I thought you had to change teams.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Well, I have a 20 minute. On my ankle, I have 20 minutes before it starts to feel like it's falling apart. So it's a genuine, like, it's like, it's like, it's like your son's wakey up clock if I play football football for 20 minutes it suddenly just starts to sort of basically open up what it feels like
Starting point is 00:11:34 like a chrysanthemum with my son's waking up clock there's nothing wrong with the product it's working exactly as it's designed as it's designed yeah yeah it's very difficult for it to work when it's unpluged thrown across the room or you know mucked about with I tried to come back football wise
Starting point is 00:11:50 so many times now most recently about six months ago I tried to Matt Riley kept, you didn't remember Matt Riley. He kept telling me to come back. He said, I need players, new players can't play. I went for a couple, I went a couple times, but my knee can't do it.
Starting point is 00:12:06 My knee can't. I can't even plant my left foot to strike the ball. Yeah, yeah. I do think with stuff like that, though, it's kind of where in a situation where I think the surfaces have got harder because there's just so much more 4G, kicking around and that's just harder
Starting point is 00:12:26 to sort of deal with. That's definitely part of it because if you're playing on grass it's fine. That's why I don't, so I started taking these supplements I told you, which have really helped my joints. But also when I'm playing golf, most the time you're walking around on grass. So it's fine, there's no real problem. But when it comes to planting
Starting point is 00:12:42 your standing foot to kick the ball, I just can't do it. It's impossible. It feels like my knee's going to collapse. Like I say, it's just no point. I don't want to be you know, I don't want to be unable to walk, you know, when I'm older. A big, Big Rick, Edward's got a knee replacement, didn't he? He did, yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Because obviously he's a big tall fellow as well. Enjoy. Do those things need to get replaced at any point, the old titanium? Presum really not. I mean, it's titanium for crying out loud. I think it's going to last you, isn't it? Yeah. Could I baseball bat him across the knees and he wouldn't even flinch?
Starting point is 00:13:14 I'd like to see it. I'd love to see it. I think he occasionally deserves it. I guess the skin would hurt a little bit. How did you find working with Rick the other day. I always like working with Rick. I always forget how...
Starting point is 00:13:27 You're in too with that because he's a really good presenter? It's more the height and the handsomeness, to be honest. Yeah. But you were hosting an episode where he was guesting on and he's a host. Yeah, but yeah, but I've been in rooms with good presenters. And I hope to one day again. Like who? Who's the best present you've been in the room with?
Starting point is 00:13:47 Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. People who can sort of like roll with a person. punches and stuff. Who's the best room you've broadcasted with and you've gone
Starting point is 00:13:57 fuck, this guy's good. Oh, I don't know. Like, I mean, I mean, they're all much better than me. Sarah's good.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Yeah. Jules. Jules, very good. Yeah, Jules is very, very good. As a, present in, let's have a thing.
Starting point is 00:14:18 On the, on the radio, can you mute your mic when you cough? Johnny Vaughn Is Vaughn good? Yeah, he's good He's good.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Hard to deal with. Yeah, really hard to deal. You've not lived unless you sit opposite Johnny Vaughan in a yoghut. There's a lot of good presenters who are awful to the people who work with him. Would you say Johnny was? Yeah, not awful to him, just difficult to work with really. I always found him okay. He was definitely manic and it was quite unsettled.
Starting point is 00:14:52 At distance, he's fine. But yeah, when he's, when you close up and have to deal with him every day. And more than anything else, you have to sort of liaise with the management, I find. And so like you, there's only so many times you can sort of say to the management, it's just him being him or her being her. You kind of have to go, well, you are the producer. You have to control them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:18 We caught once. Me and Sarah were doing a double header and we caught the, the producer fucked up and they put the wrong song in or whatever and we caught them going downstairs and saying that we'd done it. Absolutely. Yeah, and he's a young lad and I was like,
Starting point is 00:15:34 you know what? That's exactly what I would have fucking done because we're the enemy. We're the fucking people who are perceived to be on the big box and we're not. That's unbelievable. I was not doing for that. And we're the enemy and I was like, fair play, fair play!
Starting point is 00:15:48 I would not. It's good for that. He's now quite high up at close. mobile radio so well done yeah i had a story about um i had a story about someone in the media who's quite well known um who um let me frame this properly so i don't get in trouble who basically sabotaged a colleague's package by removing the audio the clean audio and putting swearing audio in it knowingly basically knowing it was going to go out on air Wow. And he got caught doing it.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Right. And he lost his job, but now he's another big job. Yeah. And he got caught on CCTV and he got caught with the login details. They knew it was him. Right. Oh, so, yeah, I guess you can't do anything without a kind of a digital footprint. So why would they do?
Starting point is 00:16:44 What was the, was there ever a reason why? He was in a junior position and he wanted that person's job. Jesus. I mean, that is a short-termism, isn't it? I guess you could probably say it there, probably young and naive maybe. Yeah. Bit misguided.
Starting point is 00:17:01 It wasn't, to be fair, it was a long time ago. Yeah. But that's to me, I mean, look, that's spicy that. You can't have, I'm surprised you're saying that about the fact that, like, you're pretty relaxed about those producers doing that
Starting point is 00:17:12 because to me, that's a no-no. I'd have been demanding heads on plates for that. Take responsibility for your own actions, man. Fine to make mistakes. it's fine to make mistakes. It's absolutely fine to do that. Don't worry about that. It's not,
Starting point is 00:17:25 in the eyes of the management, it's not fine to make mistakes. Well, I am the management. I can't mean, and I'm saying it is fine. The presenters are the ones who are allowed to make mistakes in that particular radio type situation.
Starting point is 00:17:38 And it's the, yeah, and it's the producer who can't make the mistake. You go down to the fucking gaffer and you say, I've made a mistake, I'll put the wrong sog in, I should have done it, won't happen again, sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Any manager who's, worth their so it's going to say, thank you for telling me these things happen don't worry about it. Yeah, but with the cut and thrust
Starting point is 00:17:56 of radio, you're making a mistake every day though, aren't you? You can't go down there going, it was, honestly,
Starting point is 00:18:01 it was fucking Dawson. He's a big of boy. He's a disgrace. It's a fucking discredit. You know, what day it is. My experiences with Johnny Vaughn
Starting point is 00:18:09 as limited as they were, I did some promo on his breakfast show a load of times. He was actually always very decent to me. Yeah. But I think I was very
Starting point is 00:18:16 green, very young and probably very kind of acquit essence to whatever it was he was up to. I don't think I read. I was kind of, I probably, that's very much what, why he likes me. I expect so.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah, I expect so. I'm not sure. I remember, I remember even our boss, the aforementioned boss, I remember he was, he, he'd, he'd left capital, I think, and he was doing some, doing some stuff for the Olympics. And he's like, I'm going to bring my, I'm going to bring my dog in tomorrow. And Paul was like, please, please don't, Johnny, please don't. He said, no, no, he's fine. She's fine.
Starting point is 00:18:48 She's fine. Big bulldog. course it's a big bulldog she's fine she's absolutely no trouble at all I'll bring her in and he's like look we don't have insurance
Starting point is 00:18:56 that's something we're on an OB like just don't bring your dog in I'm gonna bring my dog cut to dog dog at an outside broadcast in Hyde Park
Starting point is 00:19:05 we've had people bringing dogs in and hey hey don't bring me bringing my dogs into this no
Starting point is 00:19:16 I can think of at least three people I think of It was so set with our business that I brought dogs in. It's fine if they're fine. Good fellas. Good fellas. Just good fellas. Just good fellas.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I'll tell you who always used to have their dog in. For a while, I worked in the same building as the Soccer A.M. gang. Yeah. It's Guy. And Helen, is that them Helen Chamberlain? Yeah. She used to bring a dog in every single day. Well, I mean, the thing about a TV set is very different to a,
Starting point is 00:19:49 a radio say. But this was like in the office when they're planning for the show all week basically. Right, okay. What?
Starting point is 00:19:54 He's just going to sit there. If it's, I think if it's an older dog that doesn't piss itself. To be fair, I have to say. Perfect dog office. Office dog.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I wasn't working on that show. I was in a bit, in an office adjacent to where they were. And I never heard of any problems. Any problems. I'm just, it's more of an observation. If you're going puppy,
Starting point is 00:20:13 during puppy training, uh, dogs that hate other dogs or hate people. you're asking for trouble. Yeah, it's ridiculous. That's a ridiculous situation to put people in. And speaking of people who aren't technically very good presenters, still now, after all this time, Tim Lovejoy.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Is he still doing his podcast about, what's it called? About the past. I think he hoovered up some of that sweet daily mail money and then chipped off, didn't he? Right, yeah, God knows. It was a daily mail vehicle for a period, I think. Was it now? Right.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Got the old gang back together. Got the old gang back together. Which is quite a interesting situation because, like, he got the old Sokary and gang back together. One of which was Robbie Knox. He's much bigger than him now. Is he? Yeah. But yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:01 In that space he is. Oh, yeah, massively. Yeah. He's got, I like his YouTube. He just goes around seeing if he can drink a pint in every country in Europe or something. But the thing is, Robbie, he is great, isn't he? He is great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Yeah. And more than anything else, you can tell. You can tell someone who's successful because they're not only talented, but they're also really lovely as well. He's a lovely fella. Yeah, lovely fella. Always been very thoroughly decent to me. I loved, I enjoyed...
Starting point is 00:21:30 It's not the mark of a lovely fella. We'll say this again. It's not a mark of a lovely fella. It's because they're decent to you. You've got power. You've got influence, Luke. I didn't have any power in that situation, and he was still nice to me. That's one of the humbling things about walking into talk sport.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Like, you know, you should throw your way around more. basically with mine who've got normal jobs and stuff what's quite interesting is mates of mine who are just normal who know that I've vaguely got a job doing podcasts that they never listen to their experience of it will be oh yeah he seems to be doing alright
Starting point is 00:22:03 you know he's always up from you know buys me a buzz his round you know he's got a house you know he's got a family he's clearly doing okay that's as far as it goes you go on talk sport they fucking hear you boy it's mad in it and then they go what's it like
Starting point is 00:22:15 what's it like and I'll tell you what it's like. I turn up to the News UK building. Every single time no one knows who I am. I have to wait 15 minutes for a visitor's past. Another 15 minutes for someone to come down and collect me. Then I get treated like a guest. No one on the office knows who I am.
Starting point is 00:22:28 And that's the end of it. It's actually truly quite humbling. No one cares. You need to make an impression. You know, tell some off-color jokes. Give someone a dig in the ribs. I've done all that. I've done all that.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It's day one stuff for me. It's day one stuff for you. You know I'd get stuck into that. No, I've never do that. Let's do a couple of emails before we go, though, because this is a bit inside baseball, isn't it? I know people are interested in the industry, but it's a bit inside baseball. I thought we're going to have to wrap up, because we've got a meeting to do. I didn't realize the meeting had been pushed back.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Well done, producer Finn. I actually requested it being pushed back. Did you? Oh, good. Yeah, because I'm always thinking. But I think people are interested in our chat about other people in the industry because we're quite honest about it. Yeah. What, did you say people like us when we talk about people in the industry?
Starting point is 00:23:12 I think, based on the feedback I get on the show, I think I get the impression people think it's interesting that we tell honest stories about other people they may know and we don't pull our punches and we are we're honest about the people who are nice. Yeah. And we are honest about the people who aren't nice and I think that's good. Marcus Beller is a shoplifter. Let's read it. Let's read an email.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Could I just say the best broad crowds I've ever worked with because you didn't ask me back because you were rude. Right. Yeah. It's Danny Kelly. Right. Felix has been in touch. Hello to you.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Felix. He says, dear Luke and Pete, I'm writing this email in response to you talking about Austrian Austrian hot dogs. Remember that? Oh, yes please, yes please. And we found out there had cheese involved in them. Yes. So he says the sausage you're talking about is called a Kayser Kraner.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I hope I pronounced that right, I probably haven't. And he said the cheese is actually inside the sausage. What? How are they getting the cheese inside the sausage? Is it squirting? Is it installed in cubes? Is it mixed in? It's witchcraft is what it is.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Yeah. He says it's very delicious. I'd recommend you try on it. It's often eating after a night out, and sometimes you regret eating it in the morning because you can definitely still taste it. I mean, that's dancing all over. I mean, come on now.
Starting point is 00:24:20 My sausage levels, to be fair, I had one two days ago. Ignore me. I'd love a sausage. I just... I can't not buy sausages from the supermarket whenever I go there. They're perfect. They're just perfect. They keep everything in.
Starting point is 00:24:36 They keep everything moist. You can't really cook them wrong unless you're an idiot. Like, oh, man. They're just the best. Did you sit in frozen? Did you sleep them frozen? I had a jumbo battered sausage last night for me, did I. Did you?
Starting point is 00:24:48 Yeah. I thought you were someone who sort of dodged the battered sausage. No, no. You lightly mock me when I have the night. No, no. Well, I'm sorry it's kind of across that way because an actual fact, it's the opposite. I always, if you go fishing chips, I always just get the standard cod and chips. And then I noticed I obviously have been a party to your lovely Friday night tradition that you always avail us of.
Starting point is 00:25:09 And it got me thinking. I was, oh, shit, I actually really like a battered sausage. Yeah. I might get involved in that. and I've started doing it. You started doing it. You're getting involved. You've got a slathering H.P.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Sauce in my view. Oh, I don't even bother with the sauce. Just a lot of vinegar and a bit of salt. Oh, I was definitely a vinegar and salt. I was actually thinking this yesterday when I was eating this battered sausage and chips. I was sitting on my own watching,
Starting point is 00:25:31 I'm re-watching better call salt at the moment, enjoying it. Right. And on Monday nights, the Wi-Fi of Access 2 is out. She volunteers at the local theatre, so I'm sitting at home. That's basically why I got the old sausage and chips.
Starting point is 00:25:41 And I was thinking to myself, I don't know if I'd even want to eat. chip shop chips without salt or vinegar on them? No, maybe if they're going down to Cornwall next week and I am, there's a very specific fishing chip shop that sells like beef, beef,
Starting point is 00:25:59 beef, dripping, fried, beef, drink and fried chips. And I am, and they're the one chip that I would eat without any kind of... What's the reason for that? What's the reason for, um, I don't know, not many people do it. I think it's very hard to find,
Starting point is 00:26:14 find a fish and chip. I think I've seen one just walking past. I've got to have the beef. Because the beef battered chips, the fat sort of sticks to the inside is at your throat. The reason I'm asking is because the one near me does it, it claims to be the only one in South
Starting point is 00:26:30 London that still does beef tallow. Oh wow. Okay. It's very challenging to digest. It's just like it courts the inside of your throat and it reminds me of being at school because they used to do beef battered chips at school.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Inexplicably. So the reason I found out about this place is because there was a local social media kind of account that was going around interviewing the people who run businesses in West Norwood and their story, right? And they interviewed this guy. And he said, oh, yeah, yeah, this is what I do. This is how long I've been doing it. And I'm proud to be the only fish and chip shop in South London.
Starting point is 00:27:10 It still does beef, hello to cooking. And I was like, okay, right. So that's why they taste like that. And for literally 10 years of living here, I just thought he didn't change his oil. And it was just dirty oil. So I wouldn't go there. And I thought, I'll better go back because that's what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Because it's traditional, truly traditional. And I just couldn't get on with it. It was very, very difficult to digest. But you're saying you like it. I like it because it reminds me, because they used to cook it in my school. I used to, every day you'd have fish and chips. Terrible.
Starting point is 00:27:42 That is not great. What are we saying? Yeah, battered sausage. I need to have sort of in a go, totally. But I guess I've never had, and I will try this when I get down there, I've never had a battered sausage in beef, you know, beefy batter, like fried in beef. So it's almost like a turd ducking, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Like, I might get, I'm going to get a battered sausage to see if it tastes any different. I put a little chicken chip alata in the middle of it. Yeah, exactly. of a beef, pork chicken. Man, cannot wait. My friend just sent me a food theme joke, weirdly enough. I'll read it to you now. Okay, yeah, go on.
Starting point is 00:28:21 He says, hello, mate. I was just thinking about a former colleague of mine. She absolutely loved the music of Edwin Collins and only eight plants. I've never met a girl like her before. Her before. Oh, yeah, okay. It's good, right? Nice.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yeah, okay, good. I was thinking orange juice. Because you should be in orange juice, didn't he? He did. I saw him once live backed by teenage fan club, as his backing band. Fucking, what a night. Anyway, that's not bad, is it?
Starting point is 00:28:52 Finally, my now, this one's from Chris. Just to get this one quickly done before we've got to go to our meeting that we're already late for. Boy, because we're making shows, guys. So we're making shows, making content, yeah? Beating heart of this fucking business. This is from Chris. He says, hi, chaps, you're in a recent episode,
Starting point is 00:29:05 you talked about limos and hummers and vans taking people to prom. That's because, Pete, you took your neighbor's son to the prom in your third of century, right? That's right, yes. Pete said that people wouldn't remember a limo. So I thought I'd share my story of my only time in one. He says, my first away match was Blackburn v Liverpool in 2006. And a load of my dad's mates got late tickets and my dad couldn't go. So I inherited his one.
Starting point is 00:29:33 As it was boxing day, trains were off and coaches were fully booked and nobody wanted to drive. So one of the lads then told us he'd booked a limo for us all to go from Liverpool to Ewood Park and back for the game. For 30 pounds each, about 20 of us crammed into the back of a limo with loads of chilled beer bottles available, had a whale of a time up the M6. Liverpool lost that we weren't bothered
Starting point is 00:29:54 to have been a limo ride back to look forward to. Maybe limos are cliche for problems, but I definitely haven't met anyone else who got a limo to an away day, so I'll remember mine. That's a great idea. That's a great idea because they're really large. They're really large.
Starting point is 00:30:06 It's been like a really posh mini boss, except, yeah. Oh, fantastic. Why don't people do, why don't people do more of this, limo to the football? they just, like during the day, presumably they just sat around,
Starting point is 00:30:16 those limo men, not being used for crying out loud. Those long wheel-based cars. I do one. I do one myself for sure, and I'd pay for it, but only if it was being driven by the guy who is on the phone
Starting point is 00:30:27 to John McLean and die hard the whole time. Yeah, I would only do it if it was one of those robot chauffeurs from Total Recall. Yeah, that's good. Yep, all right, this has been the luggage. I ended up with the lady with the three tits. Yeah, makes me sure they had three hands.
Starting point is 00:30:42 we'll see you next time we'll make you wish you had three ears on the Liggin Beach Show next time out Look after sales Hello at LoggerPitcho.com We need emails, we need your information Have you ever been in a limo? Have you ever had a terrible experience in limo?
