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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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...
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?
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
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.
Yeah.
Jules.
Jules, very good.
Yeah,
Jules is very, very good.
As a,
present in,
let's have a thing.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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!
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.
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
of radio,
you're making a mistake
every day though,
aren't you?
You can't go down there
going,
it was,
honestly,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
we've had people
bringing dogs in
and
hey hey
don't bring
me bringing my dogs
into this
no
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.
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,
a radio
say.
But this was like in the office
when they're planning
for the show all week
basically.
Right, okay.
What?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
