Shall we begin? We are, we are. Shall we begin? Sorry, we were speaking about some off-air stuff. I like a cold open. Very off-air stuff. And then now we're on air now. I like a cold open.

I like a cold open too, but usually those cold opens involve little jokes, which we don't have this week. It's the Luke and Pete show. How are you doing? Howdy. I thought loads of really interesting stuff to cold open with on the show today. Nice it.

Nice it. I thought of some really cool stuff to open the show with on my cycle into the office this morning. Okay. Because I'm now 43, and I've got no means to write it down when I'm cycling. I've forgotten it all. It's good stuff. And that's just how it goes.

Yeah. But last time out- I'll be saying good stuff quite a lot, because that's my go-to when I go out and give me things. Goodness me. Goodness me. Goodness me. good stuff. That's just how it goes. Yeah. But last time out, I'll be saying good stuff quite a lot because that's my go-to when I go out and give me a thing. Goodness me. Goodness me.

Goodness me. Good stuff. Nice it. In recent episodes, we've talked about how you would quite like to play Jimmy Saval in the sequel

to Steve Coogan's drama. Jimmy Saval 2, The Saval-ing. Probably not going to be a sequel, is there? I haven't seen it.

The Saval-ing. Does he get older? Does Coogan make him older than he is? Does it finish with Jimmy Savile 2, The Saviling. Probably not going to be a sequel, is there? I haven't seen it. The Saviling. Does he get older? Does Coogan make him older? Does it finish with Jimmy Savile's inevitable death? I think it's all kind of based around the writing of his autobiography, I think. Right. Or biography, I guess. And the guy is flat in Leeds writing his autobiography

and I think he I think that's where it's left I've only watched two episodes so I don't know how it all goes

from there but it's just astonishing Coog does a good job of playing young Jimmy Carter as well which is quite good yeah

so we talked about that last time didn't we we also talked a bit about Ricky Lambert at a 15 minute city protest one of our listeners

was attending was attending. You also talked about how you fitted your scooter and fixed it up and all the rest of it. And then... Purring like a dream, Luke. Good to hear. Purring like a dream. Very, very good to hear.

And we had an email from Matthias about Berlin sex clubs, which we kind of went to town on. So that's the last thing we talked about. That's fair. So what I did over the weekend, which I like to do from time to time, and if you want to be a part of this little endeavour, you need to follow Luke and Pete Show on the Instagram,

which is at Luke and Pete Show. And I put a question out saying, is there anything you want to talk about this week? I get loads of responses, and what I do is just out saying, look, is there anything you want to talk about this week? I get loads of responses, and what I do is just go through the responses without checking them first, in order, and just see what comes out. So I thought we'd start off by doing that today.

If that's all right with you, Peter. That's fair. We've got some good emails we can do between now and next week as well, as we mentioned before. We didn't quite get to all of them last time around, and we'll do batteries later too. But to start with for now,

I just put out there, I'll read exactly what I wrote. We're recording tomorrow. What would you like to ask Pete and I? All topics welcome. We are smart and fun. First of all, Dave Enzor got straight in touch saying,

Pete, what's your flood defence strategy? And do answer this respectfully, because people have lost their homes and there's people that have died, so it's a topic du jour, but answer it respectfully, Peter. Well, I don't really understand how... I do live at the seaside,

and the highest the water has ever gotten was in like 1952, I think, and it went... I mean, it wouldn't even have got over the train tracks, to be honest. So I think I'm safe from the sea. So you're fine. That's not the question, is it?

Well, I'm fascinated by down in Old Lee, which is like a historical kind of like shipping, sorry, shipping, fishing village in Lee. I bet it's nice down there, isn't it? It's very nice. Lovely, lovely part of Lee. And there is an old

kind of like historical kind of fisherman's cottage that you're allowed to walk around and it's got fishing nets up

and this is how we used to live kind of beamish beamish made small for the Snapchat generation people stealing from

another podcast the there's around the back of it there's basically this tube that i'm obsessed with fascinated by this technology there's this tube that basically uh if the water goes higher than a certain level it instantly senses that the water has gone higher than you know an electrical plug on the inside of the building. And it basically instantly, presumably through some kind of 3G or Wi-Fi connection, contacts the insurance company and then presumably they pay out on a flooding. So it's this automated instant.

The insurance company knows that the water has got to a certain amount and they instantly, they either pay out or you can basically say, you know for a fact the water has gotten over a certain amount but i can't i imagine that insurance is quite high because you're it's literally just on the water yeah and and i suppose so you've not answered the question there and i thought you what is my flood defense insurance fraud my flood defense is insurance for i keep all my fabric all my fabric eggs are floated out the door and I can't get get them back

and they were all perfectly working before I can imagine because there was a famous or semi-famous for those of us who were interested

in this kind of thing Roy Stewart who's the the great the great opium botherer the great white hope for podcasting

he says I like Roy Stewart and I've read his book and I thought it was excellent but he famously when he was what was he some kind of junior cabinet minister

and there was a lot of flooding in the UK and he was boots on the ground type guy so he would just go there you know what he's like if I told you I walked across Afghanistan

he wants to go there he's not one of these kind of pen pushers and so he went to this flood defence or this place where a place a lid down front of a door a draft excluder it's quite long He's not one of these kind of pen pushers. And so he went to this flood defence, or this place where... A lid down front of a door.

No, he... A contact excluder. It's quite long. He basically was asked the question, what do you think the problem is with the levees here, or the flood defences here? And he literally said, as an answer, and I kind of understand why he said it,

because it was unprecedented water level. He said, no, the flood defences have been working fine, the water's just come over the top of them. That's what he said. That is true. Yeah, it's just come over the top of them. That's what he said. That is true. Yeah, it's higher than what we usually plan for. That's absolutely fine. Well, I'd love you to do a piece of that. It's not a sound that's welcomed by the voting public, I imagine. No, no. Or particularly

the local people. They were fine, but what were they? About to lynch him. Or at least they would lynch him if they were under six foot of water. Because he'd just float. He'd just float away, yeah. He'd float out of the noose if you were the if you were the the spokesperson

yeah I'd love your first answer to a very aggravated Adam Bolton yeah who's fed up of

actually being told to go there he doesn't want to be there he's wet and pissed off stop stop speaking over me

stop telling me what I think stop telling me what I think Peter what are you going to do about this and you say I want to talk in a

firm and frank way to the public about the benefits of insurance fraud. Credit card fraud. Insurance fraud. If we all do it at the same time, no one's going to get in trouble. Cuts to you. That could be worth three grand. Chalk it up.

Your credit cards are floating away. Include it. Go next door. Like steal it. Go next door. Like, steal some stuff from next door. Then that's yours. All right? How much is your car? Five grand. How much is your car?

Ten grand. Correct. When everything goes to shit, just steal something. It's how the fall of the Soviet Union and the oligarchs happened. So don't worry about it. Why don't we get any sponsors?

Why don't we get any oligarchs getting involved, for crying out loud? I would sit my constituent down and go I'm sorry you've lost your home

but did you ever think about saving those silica gel packets from your shoes could have dried everything out could have dried everything out it's offensive it's defensive

it's highly offensive the people who've suffered I know an incredible loss I know and I did say to you at the start of the question be respectful

I'm now thinking I shouldn't have read it out. No, you shouldn't have. No. It's on the local page, Sean. What are you playing at, idiot? We'll move to the next one. Maybe I'll cheer them up.

Chelly T, if you could be another nationality other than British, what would it be and why? Oh, I'd love to be a sexy Italian. Yeah. All right. Just anyone from mainland Europe, really. I could see you being a bit of an Adrian Brody type character as an Italian. Like in Peaky Blinders. Okay, yeah.

He's an Italian-American gangster in that. I would very much like to be a sexy mainland European, because, to be quite frank, that's what my partner's into more than my pasty white ass. I'd like to be a sexy... I'd like to be Gail Garcia-Barnal, please. Yeah, famously Italian. I'd like to be an Italian, a sexy Italian, please,

because I'd quite like to keep my family unit together. Yes, exactly. I'd like to be a sexy Latino. Good answer. Would you not like to be... Remember that time we were doing something together and we were working somewhere, and there was a really handsome, well-bearded,

well-dressed Swedish guy. And you said to me, one of the most cutting put-downs I've ever experienced in my life, you said to me, see that guy over there? And I said, yeah. He said, you said to me, of the most cutting put downs I've ever experienced in my life you said to me see that guy over there and I said yeah he said you said to me that's what you think you look like that went over your emotional flood defence oh it did and you were in floods of tears

it's hard to cut me down but you did it I'd quite like to be a Swede yeah but that's not too much of a jump for you for me to be regarded as being sexy would be as discussed in the sex club episode last week it would be more of a jump for you for me to be regarded as being sexy would be as discussed in the sex club episode last week

it would be more of a jump quite the flight of imagination so exactly yeah I mean you could you could you could style yourself

into something approaching a sexy tall swede I would say thank you I would like lose a lot of weight wouldn't I but I would just like to

I just think just being anyone else would be nice for a bit see what it's like walk on mine and someone else's shoes chilling

silica gel packetless shoes you're honestly saying you just like to be someone else for a bit I just want to

be someone else for a bit yeah that's sad put that on a t-shirt Sam Barrington would Pete

add the newly crowned world's hottest pepper pepper X to one of his bizarre meals can he see himself eating one?

I hate all that business. I hate that one chip challenge that people do. Yes. Killed a kid, I think, quite recently. Wow. I hate watching videos.

That's about a PR backfire, could you say? That's it. It's about as, yeah. It's about as bad as you can get. But then at the end of the day, they must

know that their time is numbered. Because normal high street stuff just isn't hot, is it? Nah. Since rate actually damages you. I wasn't laughing at the child damage, their time is numbered because like normal high street stuff just isn't hot is it nah so it's rare to actually

get something that actually damages you I wasn't laughing at the child dying just generally I was just thinking about that man lying down

in a portacabin office going in those videos where he eats a California Reaper pepper or whatever and he can I just say

if you have to clarify that you're not laughing at a kid dying yeah I'm not laughing at a dead kid. You might have already lost the argument. You might have already lost it. People might have already gone. You wouldn't fancy the Pepper X then?

No, no. You've read about it, presumably. I've read... I mean, it's all very dull, all that, isn't it? It's all very kind of like, I ate this. It's not really food, is it? It would be like eating mortal metal or eating some radioactive substance

you found in the ground. Well done, you. Brilliant. Fantastic. Are these things you haven't done? So Pepper X, I mean, it is fairly boring stuff. So Sam, you've let us down there.

But, and I will read these out without fear or favour. I won't censor any of them I'm just going through all of them so do with that what you will the only thing I would say

that's fairly interesting about Pepper X this new chilli that's been developed it's got I think 2.7 million Scoville units it has been developed by this guy called

Ed Curry who is like the champion breeder Ed Curry that's his name it's mad right but he's the champion breeder of like chilli peppers

so he's the one who created the Carolina Reaper. Yeah. And now he's gone back to the lab. Gone back to the drawing, but he's gone back to the lab, yeah. Yeah, and he's like the Kendrick Lamar of chili pepper creation. Gone back to the lab, and he's created Pepper X. It's apparently far bigger and far hotter than the Carolina Reaper, but it also needs 100 different pepper hybrids

that takes ten years to develop. So it is a bit like an album, really. It's a bully Excel of the chilly world. Shouldn't exist. Yeah, I know what you mean. It's an affront to God. It is an affront to everything that's holy. I don't think Pete or I could handle a pepper X. I can't handle anything hotter

than a Danzac, Luke. I'm having a terrible time. Luke, I've just had a text on WhatsApp from a number I don't recognise from America. Not a contact, a business account on WhatsApp. Good day. I'm Beryl from HR Go Recruitment. We have some flexible role here. May I share? Yeah, I keep getting stuff on there.

I get a load of people emailing me on my Gmail, my personal Gmail. I've said bring it on, by the way. Good for you. I think I speak for everyone listening, Beryl, when've said bring it on, by the way. Good for you. I think I speak for everyone listening, Beryl, when I say bring it on. Keep your options open. Keep your options open. I always get offered manual labour jobs in Ohio. I do get, yeah, you do get weird ones.

I get targeted ones. Every couple of years you'll get, being an ex-radio DJ, you do get a Qatar offer every now and again. Come to Qatar. I never get that. Tax-free, 50 grand a year, and you get a free airline do get a Qatar offer every now and again come to Qatar tax free 50 grand a year and you get a free

airline ticket all over a year it sounds a bit passport confiscating doesn't it it sounds a bit presumptuous

assuming that you've got someone to visit back home I'm buying all my bridges sorry can that ticket can I go anywhere

can I go further away yeah can I just honestly say I'm not anywhere? Can I go further away? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Can I just, I'm not saying this for any kind of, to curry, to curry any kind of,

to Ed Curry any kind of favour. Why, do you want me to put a good word in for you? I've never, since I've been doing this, I've never been given one job offer. Not one.

Right. From anyone. So you might get them. I think I should run out of people. I think I should, they just kind of run out of people to ask about. It doesn't annoy me

that they've come to you first. I'll be totally honest. Let's do one or two more of these and then we'll flip to a break. Beryl's been in touch. She's back. She's back already. Benefits.

Part-time, £35 to £45 per hour, I guess. Full-time, £1,500 to £2,000 per week. Flexible time. Yeah, it's all very, must be located. Yeah, I mean, it sounds like... Reply, ask what you're going000 per week. Flexible time. Yeah, it's all very... What are you doing?

Yeah, I mean, it sounds like... Reply, ask what you're going to be doing. What's the responsibilities? What's the key responsibilities? Might need some more info on that one, Bez. Yeah. Let's make Beryl earn our money. Might need more info on that Beryl.

What kind of stuff are we talking? Do I need to take my top off yeah include that because it's good to know that it's good to know that cool good stuff

can I let my person in charge forward full job details to you yeah I think so I think that's fair Iman asks when was the last time Pete had Chinese for breakfast probably a while now is it

yeah it was a while actually because yeah I had Chinese on Friday but I didn't. I've started ordering less, so there's less to eat the next day, which is an astonishing change around for me, really. Coward.

You're an absolute coward. I ate a lemon chicken a few weeks ago. I think they might have added jif to it. It was so incredibly acidic. I mean, my teeth ache. It was horrible once when i was a kid um we got this um blender right and um i used to quite like making milkshakes in it nice yeah and my parents my parents worked full-time my mom did shifts and my dad was away

a fair amount so i used to from quite a young age i would come home from school and i'd do my fix my own dinner and stuff. And I got obsessed with making these milkshakes. And I made a banana milkshake and it was so good. And I thought, do you know what? I'm going to make

the most bananary milkshake I can ever think of. So what I did... Nesquik banana and banana. I did Nesquik banana, two really ripe bananas. Calpol. There was a banana from a calpol,

wasn't there? There was, yeah. Banana ice cream. Right, yeah, nice, okay. And I mixed it up and took a taste. It was horrible. Too bananary. It was like it had gone so bananary,

it actually tasted a bit like medicinal. Yeah. Like it was very, very... That's the potassium. Yeah. A little of my hair fell out. No, but it was... What I'm saying is you can go too far with that stuff.

You only would... Delicate flavour's probably best. I think I might have is you can go too far with that stuff. Delicate flavour's probably best. I think I might have, you know that Rick Edwards says that, I think it's Rick, he said that he sniffed some ammonia in a science class too hard when he was a kid, and as a result his sense of smell was really bad. Yeah, I mean, that would do some damage, wouldn't it? I feel like I might have done that to my taste buds

with the famous banana milkshake. You'd think he'd be scared of science, but no, he's continued his love of science. Or maybe he just wants access to ammonia. Or yeah, he's developed a healthy respect for its power, presumably. And then the final one I want to do on here, and thank you very much for everyone. I mean, some people sent stuff in about Tommy Robinson and Andrew Tate.

I'm not reading that out. Oh, a pro? Yeah. Pete, Sean Connolly asks, would you consider putting a GoPro in your goal for when you concede all these goals for your football team? Nice, nice idea. I've got one of those little kind of...

I think if anyone's doing that, you should. I should do. What I've noticed with Sunday League football now is they've all got those big cameras on tripods, haven't they? Yes, they do. Yeah, you do see that quite a lot. One of the lads who I've played with Sunday League football now, they've all got those big cameras on tripods, haven't they? Yes, you do see that quite a lot. One of the lads who I've played with recently, I spied, he had one of those little bras

with the thing on the back. That's great. I was like, whoa. But that's the kind of thing you would think is shit and I think is great. I love the stats. Yeah. I would say his stats,

I think his movement is only half the story let's say as to are you saying it wouldn't take too long to transfer the data finally for now i just want to use this read this one because i think it's funny this is from dylan he says um what was it like during the year pete when you shat so little what was the comfort and fear rating now for those who don't know that into this, in 2012, Pete only took six poos in a whole calendar year. Yeah. And you had a very difficult time of it. Would you just like to recount to Dylan and to our other listeners

how you felt, what that was like, and whether you'd like to go back to those days or not again? I didn't enjoy those times. I think, yeah, it does make you very lethargic, very sleepy. It doesn't mean that you feel absolutely great

about things. So I would just say Was there a psychological element to it? Yeah, definitely. You just feel bad about yourself because you're just

full of poop. What was the reason for the constipation? I don't know. You didn't find out? I don't know. Just something that happens, isn't it?

Some of us are lucky. It was probably massive dehydration and all the rest. Oh, yeah, because you were refusing to drink water at the time. Refusing to drink water at the time.

Drank a bottle of water this morning. Very nice. Thank you very much. We've got a new cafe in Stack HQ. I know, yeah. But they don't make like, they can't make me

scrambled eggs in the morning. I've got porridge. Huh. Not on the menu. There's no cooked food on the menu at all. Wow. Wow. That's annoying. Wow. I haven't said that. They do food on the menu at all wow that's annoying

wow I haven't said that they do open on time though but that's eccentric yeah but I mean the food was always very good at the cafe

it was yeah it just took a little while to come so to speak I have but I would just as a counterweight to that disappointment I would just add

that I've seen enough of you shoveling scrambled eggs down your throat because you're late too much anyway it's not a food that I particularly seen enough of you shoveling scrambled eggs down your throat because you're late too much anyway. It's not a food that I particularly enjoy seeing you eat. I'm never going to order scrambled eggs

because I'm late. Who eats scrambled eggs? I would have to eat scrambled eggs at like seven in the morning. That's too early for anyone. What I'm saying is we come in and we don't spend too much time dicking about before we get in the studio

and you're shoveling them in your mouth. Yeah. And sometimes you're leaving them out there cold. Popping a bit of egg in my mouth. I don't think you're leaving them out there cold. Popping a bit of egg in my mouth. I don't think he respects ramblings enough. I used to have a mate

who was quite posh who could never get his head around the respect for a packet of crisps. He was ashamed of them. What, do you mean like he'd never be caught

eating them or something? It's too... And if he did eat them he'd shove them all in his mouth as quickly as possible. It was demented because he didn't see

he didn't really want to be seen to be eating crisps, because he thought as a person of his social class wouldn't do that. Wouldn't eat crisps. Yeah. But they're delicious. Imagine if I saw crisps. It's the kind of thing, he'd probably get his mouth around a packet of Pipers now, because they're expensive in Poland. Oh, he'd probably, but would it, where, I mean, would he, like, he'd probably eat

after it mints. He'd be happy with that. Yeah, oh yeah. You know, they've got a level of decadence to them. He would always try and be relatable by saying, because he was very posh, and he is very posh. He'd be happy with that. Yeah. You know, they've got a level of decadence to them. He would always try and be relatable by saying, because he was very posh. He is very posh. He does very well for himself. He's a good friend of mine.

He gets the piss ripped out of him for being posh. He's the only posh one of our friend group, really. But he would always say, oh, I was born in Bridgemere, which was like a rough part of Gosport,

which he was. But then obviously he was born there because of some kind of coincidence. Yeah. Bridgemere's got to end somewhere innit

yeah you're on the border exactly I think it might have just been his mum was passing through at the time or something and so he always claims that but no he couldn't get his head around

eating a packet of crisps and I think you're the same thing with scrambled eggs you're like you've got an air of a man who's furtive who shouldn't really be doing it yeah

I think it's too breakfasty for me it's too well organised I just have to ruin it somewhere by eating it really quickly what would? Yeah, I think it's too breakfast-y for me. It's too well-organised. I just have to ruin it somehow by eating it really quickly. What would you prefer to have as a breakfast? What's your go-to number one breakfast food? I mean, the dream is to have the sort of constitution that would allow me to eat black pudding in the morning, but I can't do it.

Too metallic? It's not metallic. You just taste the iron in the blood, can't you? Nah, it's too oily, and I'll just be paying for it the rest of the day. I'm just a granola guy these days. I'd love to do it. Granola man.

I did eat a whole melon over the course of two days. Oh, very good. Very good. I'd love to do a TV appeal that they do for people who need water in Africa, which is you getting your dream to eat black pudding in the morning with no consequences medically. I just want to...

You know that guy who's a multi-millionaire, a billionaire guy who is paying loads of money to live forever, but he just looks like a greasy robot. I can't wait for him to die. It's always the way, isn't it? I want to have the amount of money that would allow me to have an operation

with my stomach that I could eat black pudding every day with loads of tomato sauce and Tabasco. Oh, yes. So if some decent medical professional looked you over and said, mate, I think I can get you to a place where you can do that, all we've got to do is whip your gallbladder out, would you do it? Yeah, definitely. Definitely.

Definitely. And they go, well, why don't you just soften the meal by having a scallop with it? No. No. Just? Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Definitely. And they go, why don't you just soften the meal by having a scallop with it? No. No. Just black pudding, please. There was a real moment, wasn't there,

with a scallop with black pudding and pea puree? Love it. Every single dish of MasterChef would be that, wouldn't it? A lot of pea puree action in there as well, yeah.

On that note, we should get a break. On that note, come on. Come on. Stay out of trouble and stay in school and we'll be back very soon after these advert breaks.

My name is Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Mr. Luke E. Moore and every single Thursday on the show we pile through your emails about batteries,

what you have found. I'm going to kick things off with David's dispatch. Good day gents and Pete, rude. We recently had a storm here in Nova Scotia and I went to grab my torch,

or as they call it here, a flashlight, from my car as our power went out. Realising it didn't work, I said, why not make the best of a bad situation? Below is what I found inside.

An inner star size C. Probably not a new player, but here we are. Irish David, now in Nova Scotia, New Scotland, in case you're wondering do you have a yard in New Scotland

is the question I thought New Scotland was in the US it is isn't it where's Nova Scotia is that in Canada yeah oh that's muffed it

alright well he's come up with an Enestar it's a rather strange sized battery it's a RC

sized kind of battery so we're allowing it. He's taken it. The pictures of these batteries are getting more and more beautiful. He's upturned a tumbler and he's popped it on the top.

And I think it looks really, really resplendent there. Enestar. Oh, I see what he's done, Irish David here. He said that Nova Scotia is translated to New Scotland. That makes perfect sense.

That makes perfect sense. Yeah, I'm missing the depth. Thanks, David. So, Enistar, size C. Nice to see a size C battery in there, Pete. Don't get those very often, do we? No, good. Like it.

So, thank you for sending them in. Unfortunately, David, you are the second person to send in the Enistar. Our friend John sent them in in June of last year. So, although you are not a new player, you're only the second person to ever send them in, which is not a bad effort, but sadly, no new player accolade for you, my friend. Unlucky.

Hello to our forever friend, Dean Chu. Hello, looking Pete. I know you told me not to send in any more battery submissions, but you've created a monster. We need to cut Dean off. And just like Dr. Victor Frankenstein, you must live with the consequences of your horrific creation. I've got two new battery submissions for you today.

If both of these make the cut, these will be my ninth and tenth new players in a row without any of my submissions ever failing to hit new player status. I recently purchased a second-hand laser temperature gun to try and get to the bottom of my aircon wars. 34 degree heat with nearly 100% humidity in the Philippines. Rainy season ain't no joke. Obviously, the first thing was to open the bag and check to the bottom of my aircon wars. 34 degree heat with nearly 100% humidity in the Philippines.

Rainy season, ain't no joke. Obviously, the first thing was to open the bag and check out the batteries. To my surprise, there were two different brands of batteries housed inside together. You don't see that very often. First up, King Ever. Surely, this must have been submitted before.

Why is Dean leading with, surely this must have been submitted before? This won't be a new plant. I'm sending it in. Yeah, I'm sending it in yeah I'm sending it in yeah King Ever second up Zhao Jinlong

this has made its way over the disputed West Philippine Sea from China so I'm a little more confident in this being a new player Dean Chui Chu he's coming up with

Zhao Jinlong and also King Ever so Dean I hate to be the bearer of bad news but King Ever have been sent in twice before so he's the third person

to send those in he knew he knew the chew Zhao Jinlong has also been sent in before by the delightfully named Phil Float he found it in his float

he sent it on New Year's Eve as well nice like it start the year start the year with a clean slate you've got rid of

all your battery brands that's the kind of commitment that Dean Chewy Chew could learn from. True that. Hello to, hi boys, Chris in Canada. Hi boys, second time emailer and proud discoverer of the Power Owl battery back with a new attempt. Found these boys in the remote of a TV bot off Facebook Marketplace. I present Western Families. Yeah, that's incredible.

Western Families. Western Families. Yeah, I mean, they've... I mean, presumably this is being sold. It looks like it's been imported by a company in Vancouver anyway. So Western Family, they've not bothered capitalising any of the letters.

Terrible, terrible logo. Western Family. I think they've evenrible, terrible logo. Western Family. I think they've even tried to bother trademarking Western Family as well. It's just awful. Awful graphic design. But thank you for getting in touch. Thank you for sending it in, Chris, in Canada. Is it a new player?

I've never heard of it before. Have you? No. I don't think I have Western Family, no. I think it's a new player. I think it is. Yeah. They're brand new.

Yeah, I looked. I can't see the money. Okay, well, that's fine. But it's one of those brands that's a really difficult thing to search it is. Yeah. They're brand new. Yeah, I looked. I can't see the money. Okay, well, that's fine. But it's one of those brands that's a really difficult thing to search. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Well, it's a very much,

you've got to put it in quotes. Otherwise, you're not finding it. Zhaojin, just do that now. Zhaojin Long is easy to search. Yes. Because people don't tend to email with that. You always have to put it in.

If you've not been putting it in quotes, I'm worried we're missing things out. Well, no, the problem is, have you ever Googled before? Lord alive. Chris in Canada has made a bit of an error in his email because he's pluralised them when they're not actually called Western Families.

They're called Western Family, which is the brand of the battery. Western Family. Hey, hey, hey. I got all my batteries with me. It's a new player. Fuck it. Fuck it.

Let's do it. Well done, mate. Good man. Well done for doing that, Chris. Good on you, Chris. Well found. Certainly makes Dean Chewy Chew's entrance

look a bit better. Dean shouldn't even be in that email section. He shouldn't. He's been silly there. How many times has he had 10 attempts? Yeah.

I think he has to become Baterius Emeritus. We've got to cast him out. We've got to send him out into the wilderness to think about what he's been up to yeah before we go

should we have a quick email let's have a little email I'm not doing one of the good ones though because we'll do those on

Monday's show this one's from Dan who says he's aged 37 and a half he says morning chaps a quick note

on the heated seat subscription thing in new cars you were talking about yes so I didn't know this was a thing

you put it to me and I thought I had no idea. You have none of it. Yeah. Dan says the subscription was offered as an option on new BMWs briefly this year, but as of September has been canned in favour of the sensible option of just paying a one-off price. It turns out not many people want to pay

20 quid a month for the privilege of keeping their arse warm for a few days in winter. Cheers, love the show as always Dan the self-proclaimed Luke and Pete show automotive correspondent that makes perfect sense because the confusion

would be that why would you be paying 20 quid on a subscription basis in July for heated seats in your car oh that's a good point

so you would I would would you not like could you like pick up the subscription later presumably so you wouldn't that kind of makes sense

because you'd be like right instead of paying for the whole thing you could just pay for it in the winter months well'd be like, right, instead of paying for the whole thing, you could just pay for it in the winter months. I mean, why pay for it? I mean, are you going to get free battery power?

Are you going to get free petrol? Like, why am I... I'm still paying for every component. I've paid for the component, I've paid for the battery, the powers, the heated seats. What's going on here?

It's a money grab. It's a money grab. It's a simple money grab. When I bought my car, which is new, on a lease, the guy kind of toted it all up.

He said, it's this for this, this much for this, this much for this. Do you want that paint shine thing? Do you want this? It's all itemised.

And I just said, look, I'm not paying for all that stuff. No. If you want me to buy a car, it's a big investment. You're going to have to

throw all this stuff in. And he'd go suck for his teeth, go and see his manager, come back, I'll give you those two. What about those? I can't give this stuff in. And he'd go suck through his teeth go and see his manager, come back, I'll give you those two. Alright, what about those? No, I can't give you those. And then he'd go away again, come back and give me, it's all very It's all just a dance. It's all part of the dance. And if we bought two identical

cars, mine because of my negotiation skills would have none of those things. In fact, I'd probably pay over the odds for the things that I did have and yours, you would have lovely heated seats. But no one would respect me or like me. Exactly.

I'll win in the end. You're basically saying that because of my... I'll win the end at my funeral, all right? How many people are at my funeral? Yeah, yeah. Heated seats. Here's the thing. You would go away from that, and everyone would be like,

we've taken that guy for a ride, but what a lovely fella. Yes. I'm the kind of guy that I go in there three months later and they see me walk in and all their hearts just sink. What's he back for?

They pull down the shutters. What's he back for? The seats are too hot. Yeah. It'd burn my bum. Because I also, I also couple it, that hard negotiation

that everyone hates with genuinely having no knowledge at all about cars. Yeah. So it's very, very scattergun. I've got no authority. I know so much about cars that I should have known when I bought my last car. You know what I mean?

And I only know about those things because the car went wrong. It's experience. It's experience. You can't shortcut it. It is experience, I know. You cannot shortcut it. All right, that's about as much time as we've got for this episode, but we will be back on Monday. I think we should do an email special on Monday.

Okay. Loads of stuff to get through, and we never get through them. Great. So do tune back in on Monday, including some more updates on the Pete's Social Skills Challenge. Yeah. A few other bits and pieces as well. Let's do that on Monday.
