Probably... but hey, anything for good content!Plus, Pete reveals that he’s officially hung up his tinkering hat and now “has” to buy a new 3D printer – because who has time to mess with the old one?Email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

You've pumped? It's, I've constantly pumped throughout the day because of my increase in monster energy drink problems and my interest in eating pizza in the air fryer for leftovers in the morning. No, I, you've had your haircut, I've had my haircut, it sounds like we were both having our haircut at the same time in different parts of the world. That's amazing, isn't it? Yes. How much did you pay for your haircut?

Oh, what? You know how much because you've already told you and you're doing this to embarrass me. I wasn't listening to that bit. Your hair is more complex than mine. So you have fewer... Alright, let's do it this way then. How much do you reckon what you're looking at now is worth? Don't ask me that. It looks like caked ramen. I reckon you're a Mr Toppers guy. I reckon you're a £15 max guy. Yeah, well it was £18 in this Turkish Barbers on the road, but I presume yours was a little

bit more expensive, but I would like to announce that I have, in the 40 minutes it took to get my hair cut in this Turkish Barbers on the high street of Lyon have, I've reached my kind of nadir when it comes to politely fucking myself over because out of politeness. We talk about this a lot back in the day on the show. Like the idea that you won't say anything. I won't say anything and it was the most, so I'm popping out to get a microwave, our microwave's broken so I'm popping out just driving out to get a microwave and I go, you know what? I've got some, a bit of film to do next week. I'll get me hair cut so I don't look like a rag shop because the younger generation are obsessed with how people are looking. And so I, and with my hair, it is a very low investment

project my hair. I give it no thoughts. The time in which I get my hair cut is literally when I've hit my limits about how much hair is in my face. I'm literally, I'm just going to get a cough. Right, so I will just go to any Turkish barbers, any cheap Mr. Topper style hair cutting hostelry on the high street. And so I'm driving past this one next to machine Mart my new favorite place where you can buy generators, gas heaters, you can buy motors that just do motory things, you can buy rotating saws, it's just all good stuff anyway and so I go into this Turkish bowers and and I don't know what happens but I always seem to and everyone's got the idea that they've all they always seem to get the absolute maniac but I definitely get the maniac more times than I don't know what happens, but I always seem to, and everyone's got the idea that they always seem to get the absolute maniac, but I definitely get the maniac more times than I don't get the maniac.

Toby Eichersley Describe them to me. Describe them to me. Rory Fearnley Alone in the world's hottest shop, like the heating turned up to about like New World Monkey Amazon rainforest experience at the zoo kind of heat. Toby Eichersley When you walk into the lizard enclosure in a zoo. Yeah, yeah. 15 pound wall clippers, their boxes put into kind of like a weird sort of glass case as if to sort of go, yeah, we've spent 15 quid on these wall clippers and here's the box, where it's in our display case. I sit down and a man sort of mumbles his way

through, what do you want and I tell him I say I Mean it is 2024 the undercut has been a thing for about 30 years. Everyone knows that I cut an undercut It's the simplest haircut and I'm gonna have it till I die It's the worst haircut and I'm gonna have it till I die the alt-right left it behind five years ago And I'm still I'm still I'm still burning bright for it Yeah, I five years ago and I'm still I'm still I'm still burning for it I will say for one I think I was speaking on a previous Luke Pete show that for some reason I put a load of pictures from an old mobile phone onto a folder that my Windows desktop seems to want to just select any picture at random and there's

a picture of you and talking to Maisie Adams backstage at one of our ramble shows from from back in the day Rather unhelpfully it will select any picture from this folder that I've dumped which includes whatsapp forwards So I've now got a picture of Hitler looking at me right now Which is unhelpful, which is I don't want anyone to know about and that's why I'm telling everyone on a looking picture Anyway, I get in I'm sitting down I'm sitting down and he mumbles through, I sort of go right, undercut, one on the side and an inch off the top, thank you.

And he rings his friend, because he doesn't know what any of that means. Did he speak English? No, I mean they're not usually Turkish, usually like Syrian or Albanian aren't they? But I think it was Arabic he was speaking. So I bring you in. Why are you not just walking straight back out again? I'm in, I'm already in. So he's speaking Arabic to his friend.

The worst thing was, right, he's ringing, he's ringing this bloke and this bloke goes, right, all right, mate, yeah, what do you want? I went undercut, one on the side, to the back, you know, fit it in the back and an inch off the top. And he says, you know what, mate, mate I'm in tomorrow I'll cut your hair for you and I was going I'm not coming back

What is going on here? I'll tell you what's happened here Pete, he said to his mate just watch the shot I promise you no one will come in He's a shop watcher, he's a shop watcher and he and he goes alright don't you don't need to go anywhere else, sir. I will tell my friend how to do it. Not what to do. And you're still in the show, you're standing there. And I'm still there and I'm like, right, good content.

It's just great, it's just Luca Piccio fraff, innit, really. It's tax deductible. So what happened? What happened? I mean, he's doing a lot of like, he puts the hair on top of my head into a like a ponytail like pebbles from Flintstones No, and he's and and there's strands of hair that are not in the ponytail, but he will need to Sort out one way or the other and so he starts sort of Getting the water spray and sort of spraying it into his own hands and it's getting everywhere and

it's on my leg and it's just all over the place and he's sort of like grabbing each individual hair and sort of plastering it back into the ponytail instead of just redoing the ponytail. It's, it is, he is not a confident hairdresser. So out with the clipper. He's not a hairdresser. Well, I should have really known because the person he rang to speak to in Arabic was, it said, it said, so and so, I can't remember the name, but it said so and so barber. Do you know what I mean? So if he's, if he's, if he's, that's removing himself from the possibility of being a barber. Cause why would you say that if you were a barber and you had loads of barber-y friends why would you even

mention it? He's Steve the barber. I'm not a barber but Steve is the barber and so I'm just like oh my god. I like that he's not even gone out the back to have the phone call. He's done that in front of you. No, no he's done that in front of me. And the man's going please pass it back to my friend now. I was like oh my god! I'm just going gonna fall asleep in this hot shop. Was there anyone else in there? No no just me and this this man about five minutes from the end I mean this whole deal is 40 minutes long for a what is usually a 10 minute job I mean it really is like shave the sides, cut the top, we're done. And he's just like, he's just taking ages.

I wish I'd have beaten him. Oh man, it was just an absolute joker. You know what, my 48 pound haircut's feeling cheaper by the second. I know, I need to find a, I just need to find a normal hairdresser who'll do my hair, who'll know how to do my hair. But I just, oh dear. Take your headphones off, let's have a look, give us a little look around the back as well. I mean, as I said, I mean he's not cut any of the hair really, he's shaved the sides and he's

put my hair in a ponytail, so he's not really cut the top, but it'll do, but good god. It could have been worse, you're thinking, just let me get out of here and it'll not be worse. Yeah, just let me get out of here, I was looking at the clock as well, I was like, we're starting at three, I was like, oh god, I'm going to be late at this point. I'd given him 40 minutes to do it and it was only me and him My haircut was very sedate by comparison get a nice cup of tea in there Yeah, get a hair wash you get a head massage

You get the latest information about whether um, you know mercury's in retrograde and with a Sagittarius Pluto's emerging through Sagittarius. so look, there's not really any point doing much work for us for the week. The lucky Pierre of the world. It's all good stuff. Right, okay. All good stuff. I also get, because they know I do podcasts,

because I've been going there for so long, and the staff, there's not a really big ton of staff there, they've kind of all been there for a while. So then they all ask me oh oh you Pockets yeah yeah oh so I said Pockets you make that one no yeah I don't like any other ones you like which ones which ones have cut through which ones have cut through with them well my barber listens to my barber Mike my hairdresser listens to white wine question time right okay well we do make that one say

yes say yes yes about that one, didn't I? Oh, previously, right, okay. I'm talking about like, they're just this little BBC ones normally. Right. Just say yes. Just say yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We also match strictly and match the day. Yeah, exactly. So, I'm sorry that you had such an ordeal, but we talked about haircuts before and you said, we talked about the idea of what the price threshold

would be for you to have to put your foot down and say, look, I'm sorry, I'm just not paying that in a crowded barbers. And I think we set about 200 quid. Yeah, yeah. I tell myself, I was in Morrison's last week and I was picking up some toothpaste and they have like this special Colgate whitening toothpaste. You know my teeth are like, alright but they are quite yellow because I drink a lot of

coffee and I'm a bad boy for life and I eat a lot of sweets and I was like this is 20 pound sort of inverted sort of portrait vertical sort of oriented box of Colgate special this fucking tooth. Oh yeah they put it in vertical rather than horizontal right? This tooth place is fucking means business. Your parents are fiver because we put it the other way up. Yeah we can't even put it on its side because it'll explode it's so powerful. If we put it on its side it's going to make the shell really white. White yeah it's going to bleach the floor. So I popped it in my thing and I don't know about you but I think this shows a little bit of growth from old PED. I went back and put it back because I was like I can't be buying 20 quid toothpaste.

What's wrong with me? How long was it going to last you though? Well probably less than a normal tube of toothpaste. These sort of gimmicks never bloody work do they? Unless they do and we're being sponsored by them. But I was a bit like, wow, I think I'm showing a bit of personal growth here. Came home, bought another 3D printer.

Did you really? Yeah, yeah. Why do you need another one? Because the first one's not as good, it's quite hard to, it needs someone who can tinker, and I don't have tinker time anymore. My tinker time's turning off. My tinker time anymore. My tinker time's tailing off. All you do is tinker. My tinker time's tailing off right now. And if I've said that once, I've screamed it into Hitler's face on my stream.

So what do you want to do then? What do you want to do with this new one? I just want to press print, it prints, thumbs up, see you later. But my one just creates a lot of little, the you know when the Tasmanian devil does the he just spins around and it's all like you know messy that's basically what my 3d printer does and I wanted to not do that so the one I bought off Facebook marketplace from a dirty boy I'm gonna I'm gonna upgrade and get one that's a little bit user friendly a little easier to to use so, and that is my birthday present to

myself. Potentially from Sarah. Your birthday's an apron isn't it? Sorry, Christmas present, it's Christmas. Yeah, okay. Do you remember the video game Tasmania with Tasmanian Devil for the Sega Mega Drive? Oh, was that the kind of like, is it the Hanna-Barbera Tasmanian Devil? It's kind of like Warner Brothers, isn't it? I don't know. I'm not sure, to be honest. Rather than the other, rather than the Disney lot. I don't remember it, but I imagine it was kind of in the same time they were doing Aladdin, Lion King, well animated platformers from back in the day.

Yeah, you basically got to, you pressed a couple of buttons, you did like a really spinny tornado thing, you used to eat everything, and the goal was to find a massive egg, I think. Are you talking about the one that's kind of like you're running towards the camera and jumping over stuff?

No. Oh, right. That's Crash Bandicoot, isn't it? Crash Bandicoot. I thought you might have got mixed. You ran in the waste from the camera doing that. Right. Tasmania is a pretty standard issue platform game, if I remember.

Oh, okay. Right, I see. I see. Yeah. It just reminded me of that. I hadn't thought about that for about 25 years, but you just reminded me of it. We got a message speaking of video games. I got a message from Jordan who does the VGC podcast, the video game podcast. And he said that he has been telling his partner that Sleep Talking, nobody knows who Sleep Talking are and not only did we just suddenly start out of nowhere talking about Sleep Talking on the Luke and Pete show last time round, they're also I believe headlining download as well so he

said my gaslighting of my partner is just completely failing because everyone is suddenly talking about Sleep Talking. Well we've got an email about sleep talking we might get to later. What? If not we'll try and get to it on Monday. I'd like to cash in some fucking sleep talkers right now. I'm not. I was just thinking that as well. I was sleeping there.

Do you know what? It was, well I went up to Scotland, I told you about it on Monday. I went up to Scotland and, well I don't want to go into the detail again, but anyway. You went fishing and you put on the Luke and Pete Shore WhatsApp thread a picture of you cradling the fish that you caught. Very impressive, I'm very proud of you, but you should not be handing me a picture of you cradling- Yeah, you certainly signed back that you seemed to have photoshopped, but I couldn't work

out what you had done. I hadn't photoshopped anything. I was just saying, how dare you send me a picture of you that could very bit easily photoshop to you holding an elephant's penis? I just think that you know nothing. Do it. I'll enjoy it. I'll enjoy it for crying out loud. I'll do it. Alright, fine. I feel like Gus Fring when Walter says he's going to put a track on his car. Do it. Do it. What a strange reference. I don't care. Yeah anyway I was just gonna say to you, so we were staying at our friend's hotel, which if you're listening to this and you fancy a break up in the highlands, it is the most beautiful

place called Foyers Lodge. F-O-Y-E-R-S Lodge. It's an amazing place. Look it up if you're going to go to Scotland, you should go there. He was saying to me actually when I was up there, I think that three or four people now have put on the reference form where they heard about them from as the Luke and Peter. So people are doing it. They've all had lovely times, so go and do it. But anyway, the hotel is currently closed for the winter. So he said, come up, stay with us, et cetera. We did that. And as a result, I was staying in this beautiful big bed in a really, really nice, quiet part of the Scottish Highlands with no alarm

and no child to wake me up. And I went to bed at 11, and I literally did not wake up in any capacity until 25 past nine. That is, you must have felt like a million, actually, when you go from having no sleep to lots of sleep Doesn't it kind of fuck you up a little bit? I felt like I was about three years in the future

Like a little dream. I rapidly opened my phone just to check into the president of the United States was just to make sure I'm Scottish now, just closed it up and went I can go back to sleep please Yeah exactly I felt like I ripped Van Winkle He's gonna get up he's gonna get upset with Yeah, exactly, I felt that rip-round winkle. He's gonna get upset with RFK and Elon hanging around, because they're bizarre men and Donald Trump is a jock basically. Donald Trump is a weirdo jock though. He is a weirdo jock, but that picture of them on his plane eating McDonald's,

I think RFK was there. Isn't RFK made his whole career out of not eating any processed food? Exactly, Trump's just gonna get annoyed with him telling him to eat better and stuff. He doesn't need that in his life, for crying out loud. You don't get a booty like that not eating McDonald's. He could eat any lovely burger he wants and he's eating, you know, McDonald's. I like a McDonald's but I can afford a McDonald's. It does, it does hit. I had one on Sunday.

I had many. I had like a spicy quarter pounder. I had no idea a spicy quarter pounder existed. Bit of hot sauce in there. I've never had one on Sunday. I had many. I had like a spicy Quarter Pounder. I had no idea spicy Quarter Pounder existed. Bit of hot sauce in there. I've never had one. Beautiful. Someone sent us an email. It was David. Hello to you David. I think David was one of the people I listed on the last show saying I didn't get to his email. But I might as well now we're on the subject. He sent us just a screenshot of the Guardian website with the headline One Dead in Multistate E. Coli coli outbreak linked to US McDonald's quarter pounders.

Right, okay. Doesn't say spicy ones though, so you're probably all right. No, exactly, that probably would see it off. I would say that for a country that does have a lot of salmonella outbreaks because of the way that they process their battery farms and other kind of, they don't really have the protections that the EU have for example, so we don't have quite so many. No weird, it's all great. No exactly, yeah it's a better off out of that I say.

But like they do have a lot of salmonella outbreaks. I will say that McDonald's never have them. Like so they're, and bearing in mind how much hot beef they're sling, it's incredible that they don't have more kind of outbreaks on their coin. I mean, you never get sick. It's a really good, if you ask them to be ill, it's probably a good place to eat.

When it's done well, it's a really kind of cool thing, McDonald's. It's like the idea behind it is actually quite a powerful one which is essentially you can go anywhere in the world, be so far away from home that you don't know what's going on, not have any cultural reference points whatsoever. But if you find the McDonald's, you're going to get the same meal and it's going to be quick and it's going to be reliable and it's going to be, you're going to enjoy it. Right. That's the idea. And I broadly, I broadly do as a, as a consumer

subscribe to that. But on the Trump thing, I was just going to say, um, what I was thinking of, he just reminded me of it. I was thinking about this this morning when you hire like a big cabinet like that full of people who are basically just loyal to you, what are you doing? Well, basically what you're doing is you're essentially creating like a medieval court where there's just going to be loads of infighting, loads of rivalry, loads of like weird paranoid drama because you're going to be wanting to be the most loyal to the king kind of thing. So yeah, it's obviously going to come crashing down. Well, you sort of think that it's actually quite positive for anyone who kind of a bit

scared of a Trump presidency. Like, is Matt Gaetz going to get anything done when he's a bit of a weird little idiot? You know, a little dirty little boy. Well, yeah, exactly. He might not get in. So you sort of think half the appointments seem to be from not really knowing much about it all, seem to be just, I'm gonna get the worst one, and then you're gonna say no to it, so you can have the second worst one. That seems to be half of them,

and half of them just seem to be, yeah, like you said, just creating your own little kind of loyalty pledge. He also wants to do Reese's appointments, doesn't he? So sneak him in. Those who aren't quite as nerdy as me about it, they won't need to be confirmed by the Senate. So normally those these appointees have to be confirmed by the Senate in a simple majority. I don't think Trump's got any confidence that he can hold the whole Republican party together, even though they do have a majority in the Senate. And so he's there for and also I think he just wants to be a king and I think

he wants to get things done quick. So I think he wants to do recess appointments. And the reason... Obama did a couple didn't he? I mean he did back in the day. Yes, yeah, yeah he did. He did do a couple. I'm now trying to remember what the reason for it was. There was a reason why he did them. It might have, I can't remember, but anyway the history around recess appointments is because there would occasionally be back in the day when the government was conceived, there would be times where the president would have to move quite quickly, but the senators were of course like a five, six, seven day horse ride away from Washington.

So they couldn't wait for that to happen. And it's just a legacy thing from that. And even if you do do them, I think they only exist for the rest of the Senate session anyway. So it's actually only a temporary measure. They have to be confirmed at some point. It's just a holdover thing, unless of course, you know. Mason- People will just fall in love with these people. The rest of the Republican party will just fall in love with these absolute maniacs. The Fox News axe thrower. Just trust me guys. Just trust me. You should see how hard he can throw an axe.

It's brilliant. Yeah, fucking hell. Tell people about that because that's insane. There's loads of people that don't know about that. I forget what his... Is he defence? I can't remember. He's Pete Hesget isn't it?

Yeah, he is the Fox News weekend host. Not even one of the main hosts, he's one of the weekend relief hosts. Trump's basically... He presents Fox and Friends. Fox and Friends, yeah. Yeah. And what's his position he's going to have in the new, in the new elect government? Secretary of Defence isn't it? Secretary of Defence, right. Okay, yeah. Yeah, brilliant. And his claim to fame was,

apart from being a Fox and Friends weekend guy, not even a main Fox and Friends horse, which is really funny, he in a piece to camera out in like Times Square or something, was doing some axe throwing and he missed the axe board by so high it went over the top and hit a drummer. Yeah, it doesn't make for great reading. board by sort high went over the top and hit a drummer. The drummer absolutely shot his pants. I don't think he even knew that the man was someone was throwing axes. He just saw like this big tomahawk coming towards him. Fantastic. Fuck it now imagine that. I'm not being funny. What is this? I'm not trying to absolve Pete Hegsetheth from blame here. Yeah, he was an active he was an active member of the the army and he served in Iraq and Afghanistan

Stuff that he's not I wanted to say his aim is probably better than Sean Fox and friends But I don't understand why in the production of a TV program Yeah, where the amount of health and safety stuff that has to happen in this country at least Why are you just not even doing a basic thing like don't put anyone behind the target? It's the unions baby. It's the teamsters Don't put anything behind the target The floor manager can't tell them anything they'll put them where they fucking want Imagine the drama just being I'll be alright here will I? You're just going to stay here? I'll probably be alright here won't I?

What I like about that is in history presumably because you've had like military drummers in war situations, so you imagine that it's not the first time that a big axe has been thrown at a drummer. It's probably like a long rich history in kind of military skirmishes. A couple of drummers or a trumpeter's been taken out by a thrown axe or two. Yeah, well sure. But you know, have you heard the story of, what's his name, Bill Millen, who was a famous bagpiper who played the bagpipes on Sword Beach during the Normandy landings. Okay, yes, okay, yeah. But wasn't he absolutely insane? Well, yeah, the thing is, the kind of possibly apocryphal tale is that as everyone in his battalion still on the beach that Norm did, like I said,

at Sword Beach, just doing their thing, he was just marching up and down playing the pipes. Yeah. And as rumour has it, legend has it, the Germans were like, if we shoot him, it could be some kind of chilling portent and be a terrible thing for us to do because he's clearly mad. We're just going to leave him alone. Right, okay.

I just think it's one of those things that I know that if I enjoy now will have to be revised later. And so I go, actually he was having a psychotic episode do you know what I mean? Like a lot of these things are stories from history so I go oh that's brilliant that's a really what a brave man and then and then they go no he was he was absolutely mad please don't please don't enjoy the story. He died at the age of 88 in 2010 mate. Good all right fair twoes. He did all right. I've just been burned. I used to enjoy watching Harvey say cunt on the telly. Now I can't. So, you know, just a lot of things I used to

enjoy. Not allowed anymore. Apparently he was, he on the 60th anniversary, I'm reading it now, 60th anniversary of D-Day landings. He presented his pipe to Dawlish Military Museum along with his kilt bonnet, and they're still there. He had a lovely old time, mate. He just, you know. Do you know how, do you know I, when you see sort of old men who had incredibly interesting lives,

sort of the idea of them retiring is quite, it's not music, but it's quite sort of weird. You sort of go idea of them retiring is quite a mute it's not music but it's quite weird you sort of go well because I saw Phil Cool being interviewed I think he's doing a podcast Phil Cool's sort of YouTube podcast that is depressing and he's basically sat in a big backed armchair and he looks like Captain Tom like he's starting to resemble the way that he's kind of wearing a full three-piece suit on his in his big high-backed armchair. He used to pull the faces right? Yeah he used to in the 80s used to do crap impressions and even worse stand-up and used to contort his face at the stupid things. And he was basically like and yeah I noticed that he was he was on YouTube and I just sort

of think he had such a sort of like charismatic sort of life. I don't want to see him in later life calming down and not doing the stupid, I want to see him do that. Ooh. He just used to do that with his mouth. One, his upper lip would go in one direction and the bottom, yeah, that was you. That was for you were Phil Cool.

You can't be just sitting back and talking about the majesty of entertainment. He's 76 apparently. He should really have a little bit of time off to do what he wants to do for a hit. Yeah, fair. Anyway, so I've just looked it up, finally, the final word on Bill Millen is that

as part of the operation they captured some German snipers who claimed they refused to shoot him because they thought he'd gone mad. Right, okay. Imagine how chaotic the Normandy Beach Lannies were anyway. We've all seen Seren Private Ryan, right? He stood out as being mad. Yeah.

Why was he not in Seren Private Ryan for crying out loud? When's he ever been depicted? Do you know what he did after the war, Pete? You're not going to believe this, but I promise you it's true. Played the bagpacks for the last time, hopefully. Became a psychiatric nurse. Became a psychiatric nurse? Became a psychiatric nurse? The stories he could tell.

Good God. Shuffling in. Good on him. Let's take a break. You think you're having a psychotic episode? Ever played bagpipes during fucking the Normandy landings? I have. I've got them here.

Mike's got in touch. Hi Luke and Pete. I've been to Baku, Azerbaijan for the COP29 climate conference for the last couple of weeks and of course that's meant sampling the local delicacies and more importantly checking out the local batteries. I mean Azerbaijan's obviously very interesting when it comes to the meeting of sort of East and West. So I imagine there's some absolutely glorious batteries kicking about. Did you hear the opening to the Azerbaijani guy's inaugural speech at COP? Was he basically going, we are going to spend three weeks getting nothing done?

Did he say that? His opening lines to his keynote speech whatever you call it is was oil is a gift from God. So what you want to hear in it? It's what you want to hear. Lovely. Here are a couple of batteries Mike says I've encountered in the room or controls for TVs at the conference and the AC remote in my room I'm hoping these will be my second and third new player I'll be listening on the plane home eagerly for the results and Mike you may very well be up there because I don't think I've ever heard the

K-Superpower BSTDC to be quite frank. So Mike has sent two in we've told everyone you're only sending one. So producer, next time just choose one. He's not having two. The other one he sent in was a Camelion, which we've seen a million times before anyway, so that's a no. But K Superpower BSTDC are brand new players. So congratulations Mike.

I like to see it. And I do wonder what BSTDC stands for. I'm going to copy and paste it into a Google document and... Oh, what? The Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation? The government of Bihar? Where's Bihar? Oh, it's in... Don't know how you spell it. Bihar. It's in India. And it's in the seat of government of Patna, which is... I don't know where.

Anyway, yes. Well done to Mike for that one. Onwards to... Oh don't know where. Anyway, yes, well done to Mike for that one. Onwards to... Oh, lovely, Paul. Hitchhap's the wife I have access to, wrote me into helping with the PTA's fundraiser and putting me in charge of selling shoddy plastic toot. It's huge markups to unsuspecting children. Bring on those...

It's pronounced toot. It's pronounced tut. Tut. Is that how you spell tut? I thought... If I was going to write the word tut, I'd write T-U-T or T-U-T-T, not T-O-O-T. It's pronounced tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut selling illegal drugs to children. Anyway, as I did my best impression of a sweatshop worker by unwrapping the flimsy plastic crap, I accidentally broke one of the items. My immediate capitalist thought was this would put a dent in the PTA profit margin but peaking out of the wreckage was the glorious sight of a couple of duraday batteries as seen attached. My hope is that this pair may be a new player and make the loss of this quality item and

my pain of an evening in the cold flogging it all not be in vain. Keep it the good work Paul. And yeah he's absolutely smashed that little toy. And I'm scared it's not going to be a new player Luke. Yeah he's the 16th person to send you a day in so not even close I'm afraid. But thank you very much to you Paul for trying your best and for getting Pete to pronounce the word tut properly Tut! Chris has got a touch. Hello guys I found these buttes in a remote at work today Do I get anything for five star batteries? It's a single

AA Luke. I mean that is, if you've got a remote control you would be a bit confused that there's only one battery in them You'd be like well what do I do with the other battery in the two, in the four pack? In the couple. Sorry, they are five star, five star office. It looks very much like the five star TV channel logo. But how else were you supposed to represent that?

Yeah, so they're new players, I think. I don't think we've seen those before either. I've tried on five star and five star office. Can't see anything coming up. So Chris, you have brought a new player and we've slot it into the Battery Daddy right here right now. Congratulations to you very very nice of you to send it in. I love it. I love it.
