Welcome to the Luke and Pete show on a Thursday.
It's me Pete Donaldson joined by Mr. Lukey Moore.
Hello.
How the devil are you sir?
Pretty good thank you, not too bad.
Still in trouble?
Trying to, trying to.
What have you felt about the increase in temperature now we're in the full heat of summer?
Well, it went from zero to 100, didn't it, really?
Pretty quick.
Fahrenheit.
Pretty quick.
It's crazy.
It wasn't zero Fahrenheit, Pete.
No.
It was absolutely clear.
No.
But isn't it something weird?
Like zero Fahrenheit is fine.
No, very cold.
What's zero Fahrenheit?
Very cold.
Right.
Zero Celsius is 32 Fahrenheit.
Yeah, okay.
Right, okay. That's how you remember Very cold. Right. Zero Celsius is 32 Fahrenheit. Yeah, okay. Right, okay.
That's how you remember.
So if you want to impress people,
I don't know the type of people
you're hanging around with, Peter,
but let me give you a little bit of advice for free.
If you want to impress people
with the old Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion trick
or vice versa,
you need to remember three things.
Right.
You can do the maths,
but the maths gets tricky.
Forget the maths.
The three things you need to remember.
Zero is 32 in Fahrenheit.
Yeah.
And the two other key numbers, 16, you just flip, 61.
28, flip, 82.
So as long as they're 28 or...
No, just adjust accordingly.
Right.
So you just go up two and a bit for each Celsius one for Fahrenheit.
So for example, if it's 22 outside,
I know that 16 is 61, right?
So what's 22?
Six above 16.
Right.
It's probably about 13 or 14
more than 61.
Right.
73, 74.
Right, nice.
Okay.
And people think you're a legend.
Test me on kilometres to miles.
Give me the speed limit
that you're driving at
and I'll give you the kilometres.
Okay, I'm going to do it
on the computer though.
Yeah, okay.
Alright.
Well, I mean,
a safe distance
to what the limit would be.
You just times it by 1.6
though, presumably.
Who's doing that in their head?
Me, because I'm a genius.
Okay, so I'm going to enter
a value of miles per hour
into my computer.
Yeah, I mean,
make it like round numbers.
Okay.
I can't do it.
I can't, like,
I'm going to do the tens.
I'm going to do ten increments.
All right, then.
30 miles an hour.
30 miles an hour.
48.
Good, that's spot on.
Thank you.
Okay, what about 60 miles an hour?
60.
90?
No.
About 90?
85?
96. 96.
96.
And if you're going
110 miles per hour...
I'm safe, though.
110.
70 miles per hour.
No, 110 miles per hour.
Oh, two kilometres?
Yeah.
Why shouldn't we go
on that distance?
I don't know.
You just asked me
to give you a round number.
All right, 170 then.
177.
177.
Not bad.
Is that because you've got
a total century
that's got kilometres
and you've got another car
that does
that?
Yeah.
So basically
in order to do
that quite
let's be fair
quite mid
bit of trivia
quite average
bit of trivia
you need to
own two cars.
Yeah.
Well I only own
one now
because I sold it.
You sold the Jag?
I sold the Jag
to a man
with a big
big Viking beard.
How much
did you sell it for?
Viking beard.
Oh, I've lost a lot of money on that car.
He got a bargain, did he?
Yeah, he did, actually.
If he's a bit like a Viking, it's a good job we didn't pillage it from you.
He did.
His partner was an Eastern European lady,
and she was very concerned about how long it was.
It was too long.
I can't drive this car.
And I was going, you're not pulling out now.
Wow, how did you say it?
I've taken it off AutoTrader.
AutoTrader, was it?
It's a bit of AutoTrader,
a bit of Facebook Marketplace.
How much did you buy it for?
I'm not going to get into it.
I'm not going to get into it.
Let's do the conversion.
We're doing conversions today.
We're doing profit loss conversions.
Yeah, it converts this fact
into my partner shouting at me.
Yeah.
I reckon, let me, okay.
Which last,
like I came in the room like a few, like last week
before showing away
and I had to have an argument
about whether I was having
a nice time in life
because I'd say I was not
having a nice time
on the Luke and Pete show.
Don't, I mean, just.
Comes back to bite you, doesn't it?
Well, what, the things I've said.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let me just do a guess
and by your reaction the listeners will know whether I'm right or Yeah. Yeah. Let me just do a guess, and by your reaction,
the listeners will know whether I'm right or not.
Right.
So I reckon you probably paid about nine grand for it.
More.
11 grand.
That is closer to what it was.
Okay, so 11.
And I reckon you sold it for...
In the depressed second-hand car market.
Six.
Five. Four and a half. No,hand car market. Six. Five.
Four and a half.
No, no, higher than five, yeah.
Five and a half grand.
So what you've managed to do there...
I've managed to spin pure loss.
You've taken a 50% hit in how many years?
Oh, but I put a new belt on it.
Yeah.
I've spent a lot of money getting a bit of welding done.
It's in tip-top condition.
I wouldn't drive anything less.
I wouldn't drive my family around in anything less,
to be quite frank.
Well, you are.
You're driving around in a Tata Century.
Oh, yeah, it's a real shame.
Not going to fall for that again.
I will fall for that again.
Sarah doesn't even want to be in the Century, does she?
She doesn't know.
She got used to it now.
Because you put her feet up.
Cigarette smell's gone.
Okay.
Yeah, it's not ideal.
My life,
that's why I'm skint.
That's why I'm constantly
worrying about tax bills.
Have you still got
your Chinese moped?
I've still got my Chinese,
well, I've got a MOT there.
I didn't realise
I had a MOT in a moped.
Yeah.
What?
I can't tax it
until I've MOT'd it.
Why aren't you paying
your tax bill ahead of...
Why aren't you just putting that money aside ahead of time?
It's just all gone, Luke.
It's gone.
I look at my bank account.
It's gone.
Where did it go?
I don't know.
But can't you just have a separate savings account
that you put the tax money in?
Yeah, but if it's not there...
Admittedly, you should have done this first.
You can't go back,
but I'm saying like generally speaking
why did you not think to
why did you not think to do that
I think like
it doesn't matter where it is
it's not there
so what are you going to do
cry
I guess
have a little cry
like start
an online
sex account
I think
for the people
that's not going to make any money
no
is it
I can't only find your way out of this mate
I could do that
Mr. The Man
who's well he falls out
all the time.
That's already been done though.
The Pants Man.
He's already got that market
sewn up, ironically.
With some very breakable bonds.
What would be your
OnlyFans angle?
Well, I mean,
I guess with...
The only...
I'll tell you the answer.
I do own a lot of masks.
I own a lot of balaclavas.
Maybe I could do something with that.
The only answer...
Dogs.
Everyone loves dogs.
Oh, stop it.
I wouldn't be touching them.
I'd just be in this frame.
I think OnlyFans and dogs
should not be in the same sentence.
I think the only angle you've got
is to be one of those blokes
who gets his balls trodden on
by those stiletto women.
Right.
Is that good for people to watch
or is that just good for the people
whose stilettos,
you know, balls are getting trodden.
I imagine there's a king cat there
for everyone, isn't there?
Yeah, I guess so.
You could probably corner
a very niche part of the market
and if you charge a lot of money,
you're going to get a low customer base
but a high yield.
Well, because the pants man,
it's not about...
Remind people what the pants man is again.
I think he's on Twitter,
this pants man or something.
But anyway, he basically walks around
and his trousers will suddenly fall down
and his willy will come out.
Sometimes he will ejaculate at this point as well,
which is spectacular.
Great logistics.
Great logistics.
Sometimes he'll do like a stop motion animation
of his pants falling open and his willy flobbing out.
This is what human beings have decided the internet is for.
Yeah, exactly.
But it's not about...
What do you think Tim Berners-Lee thinks when he sees that?
If Tim Berners-Lee's gone over his morning coffee reading the papers
and he's having a little surf on the internet
thinking, I fucking invented this, and he sees that,
is he proud or is he disappointed?
Well, at least he's doing something different, something new.
You know, it certainly piqued my interest, so to speak.
He's doing something interesting, but it's not abouted my interest so to speak like he he's doing
something interesting but it's not about him flashing or his willy being seen it's it's the
sudden embarrassment and he's just he's just realized his pants have fallen down and he's
mortified and i think that you know the the kind of like the anxious uh embarrassment is something
that i feel myself all the time so maybe i could be one of those kind of like, you know,
people just absolutely just have a bad time with life.
You know what I mean?
Like just completely embarrassed all the time.
I'm embarrassed all the time.
So with anyone with that kink, enjoy me.
Is that because you haven't done the extra work?
Enjoy me because I'm just constantly embarrassed about what I've done.
But like what kind of things would you do?
Like, for example, selling a secondhand car,
lose a lot of money on it.
Exactly.
Like a financial dominatrix kind of stuff.
Is that a sexual thing
or is it just a general everyday thing?
Well, I've been financially dominated,
haven't I?
So if you're into that kink...
Only by your own decisions.
Only by your own...
Like, only my need for very little parking
being available in my street.
Yeah.
I've been financially dominated there, yeah.
So you think the only fan's angle for you
is being financially dominated?
Yeah, just my bank
account
just post screenshots
of my bank account
that's gone out
or CCTV footage
of you begging
the tax man
you need
to leave your life
yeah exactly
yeah ringing it
how much would you
charge a month for that
I don't know
a decent whack
ask the tax man
ask the tax man
yeah
what are you going
to do around
what are you going
to do when HMRC
come knocking then
what's something I did last time?
What was that?
Pay it late.
Pay it late and stuff.
I tell you what, last time,
I didn't pay,
I eventually paid it,
but I just didn't have enough money to pay the whole lump.
But about, like,
they literally said,
right, you know,
this amount of money is due.
And it was only like a couple of grand in the end
but they sent it straight to a
collection agency.
So we're missing out on tax there
because they're not going to get all of the tax.
They're buying that debt for pennies on the pound.
So that doesn't even make me
feel good that I paid the tax.
I don't think it's enforceable
without a court order either.
I think the government could probably... I think they need a court order either. So you could just refuse to pay that. I think the government could probably.
I think they need a court order legally.
And it's also illegal for debt collectors to pose as officers of the court when they're not.
Right, okay.
The parameters they've got to operate in debt collectors is very, very narrow. Quite limited, yeah.
People just get frightened.
Right.
That's why you can't respect it as an industry,
because it's basically just about frightening old people and stupid people.
So yeah, I think really you should avoid that at all costs
because you are an owner of our business
and so we need to start getting those things in order
a little bit more coherently.
Me and you are both part of the HP Smart Plus ecosystem now.
We've both got printers.
We needed to scan something recently to sign something
and we both signed up for the same HP Smart Scan ecosystem.
I'm resentful
at being tired
with the same brush
as you on this
because you made
a load of errors
and I made one
and all of a sudden
everyone thinks
I'm the same as you.
No, I think it's very sweet
that we're both part
of the HP Smart Scan
registration package
and we're just,
you know,
we've both got printers
that infuriate us
and we were trying
to scan something
with our printers
and we had to sign up
to an HP Smart Scan ecosystem. Why did they make you do that? Because they want to harvest your details? Honestly our printers and we had to sign up to an HP smart scan
ecosystem
why did they make you do that
because they want to
harvest your details
honestly even for me
who would sign up for anything
I was a bit like
that is a piss take
well will you sign up
for anything
yeah
why
just put a fake email address
or put a spam email
I've got loads of spam
email addresses
you can use
that's a weird show off
why
what are you boasting
about that for
well because then
you don't have to
use your main one
what are some of them well if I say it people will email Well, because then you don't have to use your main one.
What are some of them?
Well, if I say it, people will email me,
won't they?
You're still doing
farts at farts.com?
Yes, farts at farts.com.
I've got farts at farts.com.
How many times
have you done farts at farts?
It's like when you
sign up for something
and you need a postcode
in America,
or a zip code.
It's 90210, baby.
A little tribute.
Yeah.
A little tribute, isn't it?
To the Californians the my wife does
butts at butts.com
and I always do
farts at farts.com
yes
that's a nice little
you could do that
of HP smart
they need to verify it
right okay
why
why do they need
why does Hewlett Packard
need to confirm
our email address
for us to scan something
it's the moving
of the goalpost
I can't stand
I bought a printer
from you
it probably cost me 200 quid.
It also scans.
As far as I was concerned, that transaction's over.
I should be able to use that scanner because I've paid for it.
Don't be giving me this fucking software stuff.
I don't want the software bit.
I just want to scan it.
I need to scan.
It was remarkable, actually, because it was proper dystopian stuff
because I needed to scan a piece of paper.
So I put it face down on the top of the scanner,
put the thing down.
Hit the scan button.
MacBook.
Error.
Right.
Please go here to resolve this error.
Right.
Hit the error.
It's a fucking sign up.
Sign up for HP smart scan.
Yeah.
To be fair to HP smart,
once I got underway,
it was good.
It's a great ecosystem.
It actually worked.
It did work.
It did work pretty quickly.
It did do the bare minimum
that we expect of a scanner.
Yeah.
So maybe one of your OnlyFans kinks
could not just be financial domination,
but also printer domination.
Yeah, just a man updating his drivers.
Yeah.
Oh, now you're talking.
GPU, BIOS, like, yeah, just motherboard drivers.
Yeah.
Nobody ever bothers with them.
GPU drivers, graphics card drivers,
and you just Windows updates.
Oh, you've got to update Windows
if you've got a Windows PC
because there's a Wi-Fi hack
that can be had.
People have to be close to you
to use your Wi-Fi,
but they can get in and run code.
So you could just do a wide shot of you
and over the shoulder shot
of you updating the drivers.
Exactly, yeah.
And under the desk shot,
you finish with the pants pulled out. Yeah the drivers and under the desk shot you finish
the pants pull out
yeah exactly
just as the
what's that thing
that sort of
ticks along
to 100%
the progress bar
yeah
and then my
progress bar pops up
as you want to get
to 100
what a progress bar
it is
let's have a break
when we come back
I've got a meme
I want to talk to
Pete about
and I've got a
load of batteries we've got to get through as well lovely I've got a meme I want to talk to Pete about and I've got a load of batteries
we've got to get through as well.
Lovely.
See you in a minute.
All right, we're back with the Lincoln Pete show.
Lukey, you wanted to talk to me about something very serious.
No, it's not serious.
Have you seen the Hawk Tour meme?
Yeah, she has cut through
harder than every other person on the internet this week.
I don't know why.
In a way that I didn't think it was possible
to cut through memes now.
Because those videos
where people just
interviewed in the street
about you know
fucking body count
all that
just the worst
usually men
just the worst people
doing shit like that
but she for some reasons
really cut through
I feel really sorry for her
I think she probably
ticked
I think she got fired
didn't she
that's what I mean
from her job
yeah
she'll be fine no but I just don't think I just think't she? That's what I mean. From her job. Yeah. She'll be fine.
No, but I just don't think,
I just think the sad thing about it is,
I mean,
you could argue that she,
you know,
she,
you could argue that she,
she shouldn't have put herself in that position,
right?
Right.
But at the same time,
if she's out on the town with her friends
having a drink,
there's no consent form there.
No.
She's probably drunk.
Yeah.
And the guy knows what he's doing.
Yeah.
And you haven't seen it, you have to look it up. And that's going to follow her form there. No. She's probably drunk. Yeah. And the guy knows what he's doing. Yeah. And you haven't seen it,
you have to look it up.
And that's going to follow her forever now.
Yeah.
I think it's quite high stakes
for quite a small contribution.
Yeah.
And especially because you don't make any money out of it,
I suppose, at the start.
But she'll probably make some money out of it.
All the meme accounts are selling T-shirts of it and shit.
Right.
She ain't going to see any of that shit.
No, no.
So actually, yeah. I think she was signing hats. all the meme accounts are selling t-shirts a bit of shit she ain't gonna see any of that no no so actually yeah
I think she was
signing hats
hock tour
24
hats
she's about
three months away
from going to
the Trump campaign
yeah yeah
pretty much
yeah it does
strike me as
it's a bit like
life's become quite
bit of a carnival
hasn't it
you come into town
you fuck off
you sell some hats
and then you fuck off
and you know live the rest of your life somewhere else yeah
do you um you see that um holly valent stuff as well uh she's married to tori doner isn't she
she's married to a guy called nick candy he's a billionaire property investor yeah
and uh she's very very right. So she's like almost now
like a poster girl
for Trump in the US.
Right.
And she's a big
reform person here.
So she's pals
with Nigel Farage.
And for those of you
who don't know who she is,
she was an actor,
weirdly,
this is the timeline
we're on now.
She's an actor in Neighbours.
Yeah.
In like the 2000s
or something.
And she was a model as well.
Right.
And now she's become
this poster girl
for right wing politics. She was a singer for a bit, yeah. But she hasn't had a hit for ages. Right. And now she's become this, like I say, this poster girl for writing politics.
She was a singer for a bit, yeah,
but she hasn't had a hit for ages.
Kiss, kiss.
It's a good tune,
but that's 20 years ago.
But one of the things
I found really interesting about it...
All about the riff, though, wasn't it?
All about that kind of
Bollywood riff, wasn't it?
It was like...
Banga riff.
Yeah, it was a good pop song.
The video was very saucy,
I remember, as well.
Oh, saucy.
Very saucy. Very saucy.
Very saucy.
Anyway, what I find interesting about this
is that, obviously, there's always a reaction to this.
So she's come out with all these weird right-wing talking points,
giving a few talking head interviews, talking about reform,
and just the stuff that people on the internet get pissed off about
because it's right-wing, right?
But the interesting backlash to it, I find,
is that she is, as far as I'm concerned
as far as I'm aware
I think she's a British citizen
right
so she's able to
vote
it's a democracy
she's allowed to have her opinion
right
I don't think I agree
that she shouldn't be able to
say what she thinks
just because she's got a platform
and I find that weird
I find it weird
that people say
oh that actor
or that footballer
or whatever
shouldn't
pipe up about politics
yeah yeah it's weird though that's weird yeah yeah it's weird because everyone gets a vote and just because oh, that actor or that footballer or whatever shouldn't pipe up about politics. Yeah, yeah, Stan Ullens.
It's weird, though.
That's weird.
Yeah, it is weird.
Because everyone gets a vote.
And just because you've got a bigger,
just because that person's got a bigger platform
than you down at the pub
with your fucking boring mates,
it's the same thing.
It's just a bigger size of thing.
So while I think that what she's talking about
is absolute fucking nonsense,
I feel like we should really at least stick up for democracy
and say that she should be allowed to say it.
Has anybody really been complaining that she can't say it?
Is it just the Australian thing?
It's been partly that.
It's been partly, you know,
she's married to someone wealthy,
so she doesn't know shit.
Yeah.
And it's been part of it, basically.
But that's our right to say that back.
It is, it is.
But it's been thinly veiled
that she shouldn't have a right to say it.
Right, okay.
Which I think is wrong.
And I think to go have a pot back is fine.
Let Valance talk.
But if people said that about us,
we wouldn't do this.
They wouldn't dare.
But if we came out and said,
on the show, for example,
it's the fucking election this week.
In fact, it's the election today
as we record this.
We think you should vote Labour.
We should be allowed to say that
if we wanted.
Yeah.
People should be able to say,
who do you think you are?
You're just podcasters.
I think we're,
well, I mean, we're not bound by,
I think we might still
have to be bound by Ofcom,
you know?
I think we...
Nah, it's not a news programme,
is it?
No, no, but Ofcom,
even outside news programmes,
like, Ofcom still covers stuff,
I think.
So I think there's certain parts
of Ofcom that,
I'm fairly certain,
last time I had a chat
with a lawyer,
that we are bound
by certain broadcasting standards. But they're, Ofcom aren't much of a lawyer, that we are bound by certain broadcasting standards.
But they're off-comic much of a rigolette, right?
No, exactly.
What are they going to do?
Send us on an education course?
Is that what they're doing?
Yeah, but I would say that I very...
Did you see, there was that newsreader
who, off the back of four eyes,
yammering on about some shit.
He was just being an idiot and he was just doing weird stuff. And she came off the back of Farage, yammering on about some shit. He was just being an idiot
and he was just doing weird stuff.
And she came off the back of it
and she said, you know,
the incendiary comments of Nigel Farage.
And I kind of went, I was like,
well, at that point,
he wasn't standing for election.
She had to apologise for that.
Say again?
She had to apologise for that.
Yeah, she had to apologise immediately.
I was kind of like, back and forth,
I was a bit like,
yeah, it is the news though, isn't it?
And there's some levels you can't really
kind of go into as a newsreader.
But I agree with that.
But I think also the media's got a real problem,
generally speaking, with language anyway.
So something that comes up quite a lot,
and I see there's one or two social media accounts
that do a really good job correcting it
and illustratively illustrate what should be saying.
So for example,
it'll be,
say a New York Times
headline or whatever
and it will say,
you know,
Trump,
for example,
this is just an example
that comes to mind,
Trump rally,
you know,
punctuated by racially
motivated language
or whatever.
When actually what it should be saying
is Trump said something racist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah is Trump said something racist.
Trump is being racist.
The problem is... It's like the
Israel-Palestine situation,
like how they described
the two sides there.
In what, sorry?
The Israel,
like the region of Gaza.
The way they talk
about the two sides there
is completely skewed.
The way they talk
about the body counts
and stuff like that.
Body count,
you know, terrorist versus, you know, liberator counts and stuff like that. Body count, you know,
terrorist versus,
you know,
liberator.
They don't use liberator,
but you know what I mean?
The language there
is completely skewed.
I don't think
people have a good handle
on how to use the right language
in the appropriate moment.
I don't know why that is the case.
They sort of panic,
but I think they sort of panic
and it's almost unique to
Israel-Palestine, weirdly.
I don't know.
They do shit their pants
every possible way.
People are frightened.
People are frightened.
News editors, sub-editors, copy editors,
they're all human beings, right?
So they're frightened about making a mistake.
But I think the racist one is much more cut and dried.
The racist one is like, you know,
don't soften the language into a passive tone
because someone says something racist.
Say it's racist.
It's racist, yeah.
Because the problem is they don't want to be seen
to be accusing someone of being racist
because that could cause a court case,
very expensive,
all the rest of it.
So they soften it
and I just think that's really unhealthy.
People get away with it, don't they?
Oh, massively, yeah.
Anyway, let's change trades.
Before we do batteries,
we'll do batteries last,
but before we do that,
I just want to do an email
from our friend Dan,
if that's okay with you, Peter.
Yes.
He says,
Hi, chaps.
On the topic of being struck by missiles,
remember last week with Peter,
we talked about being hit,
I got hit by a bottle of piss at V Festival.
Do you remember that?
Yes, yes, yes.
Let me look at it.
It could have been.
It wasn't.
Dan said, I wanted to share with you
something that happened to me in the summer of 2009.
What were you doing in the summer of 2009, Peter?
Oh, probably celebrating my 28th birthday.
Wow.
Imagine what that was like.
Wow.
It's probably weird.
I'll tell you who was there.
I probably wasn't invited.
You were invited.
Alex Zane would have been there.
The base proud of pigeon detectors would have been there.
Mark Haynes would have been there.
And a couple of video game people.
Yeah.
Probably about right.
Dan says, me and some friends headed to Why Not Festival in Derbyshire
and my friends overloaded Rover 25 for a weekend of drinking
and failing to convince girls to talk to us.
As you might expect from a British music festival,
the weather was absolutely fucking shit.
And after a few hours, the whole campsite looked like a scene
from Saving Private Ryan.
The rain and mud was the least of my concerns, though,
because on the Saturday night,
while waiting for Noah and the whale to take the stage...
Oh, no, it gets even worse. Yeah. least of my concerns though because on the Saturday night while waiting for Noah and the Whale to take the stage.
Oh no,
it gets even worse.
Yeah.
Even the most ardent Noah and the Whale fan
would sort of say,
yeah,
I agree with that one
to be honest.
He said,
I felt a heavy clunk
on my head.
Before I tell you
more of this story,
I would just say that
I know someone
who knows the guy from,
one of the guys from
Noah and the Whale
really well.
Right.
And do you remember,
obviously their song Five Years Time was the massive hit, right?
They also had a follow-up hit called Life Goes On.
Right.
And it goes, L-I-F-E-G-O-E-S.
Oh, I remember that one.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
You go hard and you're going your own way.
Anyway, I think I'm right in saying
on the way back from the meeting with the label
where they signed all the forms
to say they'd broken up
as an entity right uh and all this other shit happened i think they i think i'm right saying
they got a um a one that says seven figure offer to use that song in a massive advert in the u.s
and i think it some weird vagaries of the legal process or whatever came down to one person had to say, and they said no.
And the guy who was there, who my friend knows very much,
did not say no.
I was like, what are we going to fucking do?
We've got a fucking band.
Brilliant.
What's the point?
Brilliant.
Yeah, so they lost out on a lot of money for that.
But anyway, Dan picks up the story, says,
I wasn't sure what it was.
It was, of course, getting a clunk in the head.
But after clutching my head for a bit,
I noticed an unopened can
of strongbow at my feet
I had been struck
by a full can
of one of the nation's
favourite ciders
brackets original
not dark fruits
as it was raining
we'd spent the last few days
drenched
I didn't notice the blood
trickling from my head
and down my face
until my friend
pointed it out
I was dragged out
through the crowd
and plonked down the chair
while the St John's ambulance
crew assessed me I was then bundled
into the back of an ambulance and taken
to hospital to have my head glued back
together before being dropped off a few, back
off into the festival a few hours later.
I missed Nora and the whale, and probably because I was
mildly concussed, could not find my tent.
So I spent a miserable night shivering
on the floor of a tent belonging to someone from my school
that I happened to bump into before
calling my parents to come and pick me up
earlier the next day.
My luck at music festivals
has not improved since then.
Having finally overcome
the trauma of Strongbowgate,
I went to Benicassim
in Valencia in 2017.
What were you doing
in 2017, Peter?
Summer?
I might have been
at Noz Alive,
a Portuguese festival.
There we go.
Only to be,
Dan says he was struck down
by a particularly violent
bout of food poisoning.
Oh dear.
I needed an injection to stop the vomiting
and spent most of the weekend,
sorry for myself,
in a boiling hot tent.
If I ever went to Glastonbury,
I would probably die.
Thanks for all the laughs, Dan.
That is grim.
A different take on the festival season.
Exactly, yeah.
I think,
just imagine being in like,
not being able to find your tent
and then just sort of
broaching the subject with a school friend you've not seen in years.
Can I sleep on the floor of your tent?
I mean, tents are quite small.
Can I sleep on the floor of your tent?
Where I'll be sleeping.
Can I sleep with you?
Can I sleep with you?
Yeah.
In Glastonbury 98,
my tent was literally,
quite literally swept away.
Right.
Oh, one of those.
There was no tent to find.
I remember looking at a muddy puddle
of
two of my t-shirts
right
and the tent was gone
did you not bother
picking them up
nah
what am I going to do with them
they're fucking soaked
they're covered in mud
you're soaked
you're covered in mud
no but I
it wasn't raining at that point
oh right okay
and I was just like
there's no fucking point
that's a shame
that's lost to us
fucking Tom
do you know what
in like
a thousand years
they might dig up that T-shirt.
Go.
Fucking hell, what happened here?
Like that Viking boo.
Some loser.
Right, hello to...
Would you cancel Glastonbury?
Yeah, I would.
You'd just get rid of the whole thing?
I just think it's the way that they...
Is it a joke that's gone too far?
It's a joke that's gone too far.
It doesn't represent what it used to represent,
and the...
That's quite a severe solution to the issue.
Access.
Brexit means Brexit. I think the... Princess Anne got a severe solution to the issue. Access. Brexit means Brexit.
I think the...
Princess Anne got kicked in the head by a horse.
Yeah, I was kicked in the head by a horse.
I was kicked in the head by a horse.
Should we do some battery burns before we get over here?
Yeah, yeah.
You're doing the batteries this week, Luke,
because I...
Tell people why.
Because I had an old running order.
And we've got...
The vagaries of...
Hangover, yes.
And the vagaries of Google Drive
means that I've got about 15 different
Luke and Pete show running orders.
And some of them are inaccurate, old,
and partially offensive.
So I'm doing all the work.
You're doing all the work.
Greetings, boys, from the island of Crete,
where I'm currently on my honeymoon
with a lovely wife I have access to.
I'm reacting.
It's what she would want.
I'm not reading them out,
but I'm going to react like you wouldn't believe.
I've got so much to talk about him going to Crete.
Rhymes with Pete.
Yeah, it's very good.
Pete Shaw.
He's on his honeymoon.
This is what he's doing.
Yeah.
That's what I like about it.
That's up there with the Christmas Day emails from me.
Yeah, definitely.
He says,
can I interest you in this Master Energy Alkaline AAA,
which I found on the remote for my air con in the room?
You can.
Always happy hunting grounds,
the old air con, isn't it?
We were offered a late checkout for 30 euros while we awaited our transfer back to the airport. I can. Always happy hunting grounds the old aircon, isn't it? We were offered a late checkout
for 30 euros
while we awaited our transfer
back to the airport.
I thought that was a rip-off
and I would just hang around
the pool all day for free instead.
That was until I was told
we'd be moved to a new room
for the late checkout
at which point my eyes lit up
at the prospect of finding
another potential new player.
What a honeymoon this is.
Worth 30 noughts.
Safe to say the current wife
thinks this is all
a pathetic waste of time
but here we are in the new room.
I've lost 30 euros
and my wife has lost
all respect for me.
So please,
for the sake of my still fresh marriage,
please let me know
if Media Range Premium Alkaline
AAA is a new player.
All the best, Billy.
Media Range.
Yeah, so he's basically got
Master Energy
and Media Range Premium Alkaline.
So Master Energy
is a new player.
Oh.
Woo!
Doing a celebration,
you're not even reading them.
I wouldn't have even thought that.
So Honeymoon has not been a total
waste of time. And Media Range
Premium Alkaline,
take me a bit longer because I'm doing all the work myself today,
is not a new player.
Second person to send those in,
Billy, behind our friend Paul, who sent
his one in on Valentine's
Day. In sickness
and in health, in batteries and in
aircon. Continuing the romantic theme.
So there's one new player from Billy.
Fergus has been in touch. He says,
hi guys,
I hope you have my second new player with these
Ken stars. Ken stars.
Nice.
He says, I found them in a mini fan my wife
bought. It is the season of mini fans
isn't it at the moment
it is a bit
and I am also delighted
to say that Fergus
these are also new players
yes
congratulations to you
ooh
can you believe that Pete
two new players in a row
I'm distracted
I found a Barocca
in my back pocket
that should have
why haven't you taken it
I know
should have drank that
maybe I'll munch on it
as we play us out
put it on your tongue
see if it fizzes up
and Fergus is emailing us from the town of Kirkintilloch in Scotland Why haven't you taken it? I know. Should have drank that. Maybe I'll munch on it as we play us out. Put it on your tongue, see if it fizzes up.
And Fergus is emailing us from the town of Kirkintilloch in Scotland.
That sounds lovely.
That already sounds lovely.
Sounds great, doesn't it?
I don't know if it is or not, but it sounds nice.
So that's two new players so far.
The final one is from Joe, who says, hello from Berlin.
Hello. A lot of listeners in Berlin, it feels like.
That's good stuff.
He says, I
know this is
probably taboo
to post so
many batteries
in one go,
but since the
struggle to
find new
players is
real, these
are more
interesting ones
I found when
clearing up the
storage of a
tech company
that I work
for.
The thing is,
I'm not going
to read all of
them because I
think you should
just take the
top one.
So the top
one.
Actually, no,
give us the
third one.
Third one,
okay.
MGZ
Minion
Battery
Premium Quality AA.
I think this is a good choice from me, to be honest.
I think I've done him a solid here.
I mean, it's very difficult to imagine
there being another one of those, isn't it?
That is indeed a new player.
So well done to you, Joe.
And well done to me.
Three listeners, three submissions,
three new players.
We're back on the horse.
Is it a coincidence on the week
that Pete Donaldson refuses to do any work
that we get three new players
I'll leave that
up to you
