Starting point is 00:00:00 Why have you got a Stockport County shirt on? Um, I can't remember now. I think my sister got me it. Um, because... I didn't ask you that. That's not why I asked you, is it? So you've answered a different question there. Well, I mean, why I own one,
Starting point is 00:00:15 I mean, it's probably a bigger question, isn't it? It seems like a weird thing to... Mimi does that all the time. I'll text her when I'm in the shop saying, have we got garlic? And she replies saying, oh, I love garlic. It's not what I'm asking. I'm in the shop. I'm in the shop.
Starting point is 00:00:25 I'm in the shop now. You should know her policy on garlic. It's a very binary. I love her policy. I know how much she likes it. But I need to know if we've got any or not. Yeah. Otherwise, I'm probably going to part
Starting point is 00:00:36 with a good thick part of about 90p for a new bulb that we may not need. Thick part. It's The Lugapitcher. I'm Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore. We've talked about two things in the pre-show meeting,
Starting point is 00:00:54 one of which was why do you never see men with little bits of toilet roll on their faces after they've shaved, cut themselves shaving, and also why doesn't Lukey Moore use pre-chopped garlic in vinegar? In vinegar? Well, it comes in a... I've never even heard of such a product. It comes in a solute.
Starting point is 00:01:14 It comes in a solution, I believe, which I think might be vinegar. Might be salt. I've got a garlic press and I use it. I'm happy to use it. But it just stinks. Everything just stinks after you press garlic. So do you know what little hack? Do you want a little hack?
Starting point is 00:01:25 On the tissue paper on the face thing, there are several mainstream comedians who get a lot out of that. That's a good observation they like. That's the kind of observation they like, isn't it? Okay. Well, I mean, but it's a sort of reference that nobody under the age of 35 would understand
Starting point is 00:01:40 because, you know, the metrosexual wave of the 90s, possibly 80s, where we all started to take care of ourselves um uh means that nobody will just walk out out and about the town with little bits of toilet paper on their face yeah that's it's true it's true i feel like you used to see it quite a lot on the garlic side of things a little hack for you if you rub your hands on anything stainless steel you'll get the smell of garlic off them we've we've done this i think we did this with shoving bread in your lips for um onion it it gets we do sort of veer towards you know like somebody suggested to stop yourself crying when
Starting point is 00:02:17 you cut onions which you spoke about um on this show you put a bit of bread in your top lip or wear goggles or all these kind of we had loads of bread in your top lip or wear goggles or all these kind of we had loads of bread in your top lip yeah i think that was one of the tips that came in well yeah that's one of the things that came in um but yeah so they um people were suggesting that and and we do sort of veer into bella uh magazine top tips sometimes don't we like and then you then we easily segue into the kind of stories that they have in bella like i'm being haunted by my brother's wife's ghost or whatever um can i just give you another quick tip okay yeah a slice of bread is good for picking up broken glass off the
Starting point is 00:02:56 floor that's not a bad shout actually but i mean you don't want to eat that after that do you no your worst enemy oh my worst enemy just sent me a sandwich. That's interesting. Yeah. That's interesting. Anyway, Peter, how are you? What have you been up to? How do you feel post...
Starting point is 00:03:12 I know we had a show on Monday, but, you know, further post-Easter break. Spring is in the air. Spring has sprung. You are looking absolutely resplendent in your moustache and a Stockport County shirt combination. How are you feeling? It's, you know, it'll be my fit for the summer.
Starting point is 00:03:26 A moustache, shit hair, and a Stockport County top. I'm feeling good. I'm still on the lookout for Easter chocolate on the floor. Yeah, well, I've got some bad news about that. Well, I haven't seen much this year, so I may have let everyone down by saying there's always chocolate all over the gaff. We did one of our famous Luke and Pete show polls on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah. And the most recent poll we did before this was the blockbuster barn burning poll about whether you would take slippers around to someone else's house, which I was on the receiving end of. The business end of, yeah. Terrible result for me. But I've bounced back because producer Rory did a poll saying have you seen much chocolate on the street around Easter this year the options were yes it was everywhere or no Pete's talking trash
Starting point is 00:04:12 and yes it was everywhere only garnered 11.7% of the vote and you talking trash was voted for by an astonishing 88.3% of responders so it doesn't feel like this year there was that much chocolate on the street around Easter.
Starting point is 00:04:29 No. Immediate reactions? I mean, I'll say that that has been backed up by maybe just the cost of living crisis. People aren't so free and easy with their dropped chocolate this year. That's a fair point, actually. And whatever became of the company kinnerton do you remember the company kinnerton k-i-n-n-e-r-t-o-n you never saw them
Starting point is 00:04:53 you never saw them at all until two calendar events came to pass each year one was um advent calendars right super cheap advent calendars with really horrible chocolate inside and they would do a proper basement priced easter egg with really thick foil around it but i can't help but think that this is one of this is this would be your stand up set um and very much and very much i i have never heard of kinnerton i don't remember the logo i don't remember the chocolate i don't remember what they're up to around easter or uh or christmas or whatever so yeah i mean it's one of those ones where maybe around your part of portsmouth or your neck of the woods um maybe there was more kinnerton line around well the joke's on you because it
Starting point is 00:05:42 looks like they've got the um the license Peppa Pig Easter eggs and Paws Patrol. Okay, right. So they are still around. I have no idea. I have no idea. They've also done a Crayola decorate your own chocolate Easter egg. I mean, I don't want to work for my chocolate. I do not want to work for my chocolate.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I just want to get it in there. I ate a, one of those ones, in there. I ate a... What are those ones? Lindor. I ate a Lindor one. And I ate... We got a Kit Kat one as well. Oh, I've been mashing down the chocolate. Throwing out the Lindor at a cost of living crisis.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I believe it was a gift. I bought Sarah an Easter egg and then she gave it straight to her mum. Outrageous. That's re-gifting. That's all the rage these days. That is re-gifting. It is. I tookter eggs to our family um for for lunch around my sisters and i
Starting point is 00:06:31 just did a big free-for-all i bought like there was like seven people there so i bought like seven eggs i said look first come first serve help yourself they're all kind of roughly the same uh with the exception of my nephew lenny who's nearly two who got a little peter rabbit one he liked the peter rabbit little cuddly toy you got with it but he chiefly um just wanted to eat the chocolate straight away yeah that's fair I mean I kind of did the same as soon as I opened the uh dog's uh dog chocolate uh easter egg with chocolate, you think that it's going to be like this kind of weird thing, but it's not. It just tastes like sugary chocolate.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I mean, it does taste like chocolate. Dog chocolate Easter egg does taste like chocolate. Right, so I think apparently it uses this thing called carob, which is basically a way of getting it to taste chocolatey without using the active ingredient in maybe cocoa. Yeah, well, carob nibs and stuff, they were kind of all the rage at one time, weren't they, for people who wanted a bit of a sweet tooth?
Starting point is 00:07:36 Oh, am I? Yeah, cacao nibs are something different. That's like a very bitter, almost like chocolate, not substitute because I think it is one of the active ingredients maybe, but yeah, boxers use that a lot boxers use that what for candy for not
Starting point is 00:07:49 yeah so like at the end of the day they want something sweet they'll kind of use that oh interesting yeah what's your cut off for chocolate
Starting point is 00:07:55 because I know you said something before you all eat confectionery as it were like it's proper food right yeah
Starting point is 00:08:04 what's your cut off in the morning? So I would never eat chocolate or anything like that before about, probably before lunch. I'd have to have it after lunch at the earliest. What's your kind of policy on that? I've only had two Florentines this morning. Have you? It's 10.42.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I've recorded at 10.30. Yeah, it's 10.42 and I've had two Florentines this morning. Have you? It's 10.42. Have we recorded at 10.30? Yeah, it's 10.42 and I've had two Florentines. I do love a Florentine. Very underrated. Peanuts, nuts. Yeah, it's good. Goddamn. Toffee.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Do you mind me making a quick comment about the recipe of a Florentine, though? Okay. I feel like you get different types of them. And I think when people go over the top with the caramel and it becomes too brittle, that's what I kind of check out of it. I like them to be soft and chewy and malleable. I think, yeah, I mean, it's just sweepings, isn't it? If you've got a factory that makes any kind of chocolate goods,
Starting point is 00:08:57 you can just sort of make it from the shit from the other lines, I suppose. What's everyone got this week? Chuck it over. It's like tea bags. That's what tea bags is. Sweepings, yeah. Yeah, tea bags is like the leftover sweeping, like ground down and put into bags.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Like the proper tea is like the loose leaf tea and stuff. Is that true? I don't think that's true. I think you've gone crazy. Why are you questioning it? I've got something to show you, by the way. Do you want to see it? Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:09:23 As promised. Hold it up to the camera. Can you see that? I can see Metropolitan Police on the top left. Total policing. Total policing. That's my fixed penalty notice. It came through yesterday.
Starting point is 00:09:36 I paid it. Is that the one where you stayed on one of those boxes for too long? No. This is for the cycling. Remember I told you. Oh, yes, of course. Why don't you remember me cycling? I remember now. Yeah, this is for the cycling. Remember I told you. Oh, yes, of course. Yeah, I've been a naughty cycler. I remember now.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Yeah, so I got it through, paid it. I didn't realise you can actually select to do, rather than pay the money, you can select to do what they call an educational course. Right. Presumably, as part of their safe and considerate cycling scheme you can spend two hours hearing about why you shouldn't ride a bike through a left a red light do that then why bother with the just stick the zoom on nod your head move your mouse around beautiful i
Starting point is 00:10:20 thought that brennan i thought you know what i, Pete? I'm not getting any younger. My time is priceless. Even a billionaire with all that money can't buy a second of time back. So I thought, you know what? I'll just pay the money. Speaking of billionaires, did you see or hear that Elon Musk did an interview with a BBC tech journalist for the first time, I think, certainly since he's bought Twitter. But for the first time in a very long time time he gave an interview to a mainstream media outlet. Right, okay, yeah. You'll be unsurprised to know it didn't go very well. Did he?
Starting point is 00:10:50 Because he's mainly been... Didn't Twitter HQ remove the word W so it's a titter this week? You enjoyed it, you enjoyed that. I mean, what I would say is that if they've got people who look after the buildings and he's a billionaire, you could have just removed the letter W from Twitter HQ.
Starting point is 00:11:11 But what they did is they just covered it up with a vinyl covering the same colour as the background. And it's like, well, you've not really removed the letter there, have you? You haven't got any sort of conviction for your thing. So, yeah, they just... Why did they do it in the first place? Because Elon thought it would be a funny joke? Yeah, because it says tits, because the word tit is in there it's weird isn't it
Starting point is 00:11:28 because the interview he gave to the bbc the talk is that it was supposed to be half an hour but it went on for an hour and a half because quote unquote elon enjoyed it so much and i'm sure he did but a large portion of it sounded a lot like he was making stuff up as he was going along. Right, okay. He basically said at one point that, because the journalist asked him why the New York Times don't have a verified checkmark anymore.
Starting point is 00:11:57 And they're a very storied, in my view at least anyway, they've got Pulitzer Prize winning journalists, they're a good outlet. And the guy was making the obvious point, which is, you know, what's the point of verification? If someone like the New York Times aren't going to get it.
Starting point is 00:12:13 And then he started saying, well, you know, it doesn't really matter, they're doing fine without it, which is a reasonable point, I suppose. But then he said, and, you know, you have to wonder how good the journalism is anyway, because, in my opinion, if they weren't there to, I mean,
Starting point is 00:12:27 it's not going to ever going to, the journalism work, the story isn't ever going to be as good as someone who was there to witness the event and they're never there to actually witness the event. And I was like, you could say that about anything. I mean, you know, you're sending people to space all the time. You're not actually going to space, but you're fairly confident it's happening, even though you're not there to... What kind of argument is that for apparently the world's richest man, one of the world's
Starting point is 00:12:50 most successful people? To me, it felt like the kind of thing an eight-year-old would say. The man is particularly thick for a man who's achieved so much financially. Can you get away with saying that, though? What, that he's thick? Yeah, of course you can. No, but you can get away with saying it, but is it an opinion that has much traction? Would people go, oh yeah, you're talking shit there, because he can't be that thick yeah of course you can no but i mean you can get away with saying it but does it is it an opinion that has much traction would people go oh yeah you're talking
Starting point is 00:13:07 shit there because he can't be that thick because of us i think people i think some there's quite a notable tweet where he sort of said um he um he spoke about what was his kind of thing yeah electric cars i don't know anything about electric cars but when everyone says that he's a fucking genius i believed that you know when when he said he's a genius about electric car i believed it because i don't know anything about electric cars um when he went into space or you know there's rockets or whatever i didn't know anything about the rockets and space travel um so when people say he's a genius i presume he's a genius um and now he's in my yard and he's
Starting point is 00:13:43 talking about the back end of programming and Twitter and stuff like that. And he goes, oh, he is a fucking idiot because he's in my yard now. Has that been your direct experience? I mean, he has clearly made massively weird missteps and tried to run a hugely complicated company in a very, very strange way and he's tanked it he's fucked it he's he's removed many of the good things about twitter he's he's gutted the api connections in the back end because they were computationally expensive and and it was it's just very much like he's done the exact same thing an investment banker or you know someone in the city would do walk into a company go what's that doing that's not serving any financial purpose
Starting point is 00:14:29 that's a and and strip it all back basically strip it all back but but strip it all back with no fundamental idea about how that will affect it's fundamentally broken now everything's fucked but i will say taking the blue sorry maintaining everyone's uh legacy blue marks and um basically putting a sign saying this could either be a legacy blue mark um from back in the day or they could have subscribed to twitter blue is a fucking brilliant joke and everyone getting upset on twitter going i didn't pay for it i'm not paying for it it's a legacy black mark oh dear it's fucking funny everyone getting very upset about their blue checks
Starting point is 00:15:07 because it looks like they've paid for it fucking brilliant it's a lot of money to pay for like just to troll people for a joke because you want to have friends
Starting point is 00:15:13 and be accepted though isn't it what do you mean as in like everything he does feels to me I feel like the same way like a lot of these guys
Starting point is 00:15:21 like I'd say Piers Morgan's like this I would say that there's a number of people, successful men of a certain age, and as an unsuccessful man of a certain age, I feel like I can comment on this, they just want to be liked, don't they?
Starting point is 00:15:33 Like when Elon Musk first bought Twitter, he did like a really weird, almost like music hall era joke where he walked in holding a sink saying, let that sink in. Yeah, yeah. It's a little bit like, what are you doing? like music hall era joke where he walked in holding a sink saying, let that sink in. Yeah. It's a little bit like, what are you doing? If you just want to be liked, there are far cheaper ways of doing that.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I mean, you could have like a normal midlife crisis, start a stand-up career, buy a motorbike or whatever. But you've got the money. I like the, I can't wait for you to start a stand-up blog. I cannot wait. When do you reckon it'll be? What year do you reckon it'll be? I can't wait for you to start a stand-up blog. I can't wait. When do you reckon it'll be? What year do you reckon it'll be? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I just think we should cajole you into doing a tight five at the comedy store. A tight five at Hen and Chickens. Do you know what annoys me? Is that you know that I think that I would be pretty good at it. And I do think that, and that annoys me.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I can't help but think that. And it annoys me how seen it makes me feel but i'll never do it yeah i don't know i'll never do it what was the question i can't remember what the question was uh the question was i said yeah it's just look it's not it's not an astute observation it's been made a million times before it's just a midlife crisis i find it interesting i find it interesting that we have this cacistocratic idea of society these days where the people who seem to be
Starting point is 00:16:48 the least qualified to do things actually do do them and I find that quite an interesting thing whether that's like the UK government or Elon Musk
Starting point is 00:16:56 I know that because I did Where's My Jetpack with Sarah which is another stack show and I don't want to put words in her mouth
Starting point is 00:17:02 because you know she's immensely qualified in this field and knows much more about it than I ever will so I don't want to put words in her mouth because she's immensely qualified in this field and knows much more about it than I ever will so I don't want to misquote her but I do think the SpaceX achievements I think are kind of pretty well respected. I mean they're quite a long way ahead
Starting point is 00:17:16 of a lot of other commercial space enterprises and what they're trying to do with things like reusable rockets and they've overcome quite a lot of barriers to what would be in the way for people to sustainably at least kind of explore near space they've done quite a lot of have made quite a lot of progress in that and he's obviously have some kind of um saying that and obviously he's at least partly responsible for it i suppose but other than that he just seems
Starting point is 00:17:43 like a complete i mean honestly i was listening to it, Peter. I'm not just trying to be edgy or trying to be like, you know, I'm cooler than him or whatever. I was listening to it thinking, fucking hell, this guy's a moron. I mean, you've got him doing that, and you sort of... When, you know, new crazy people sort of appear, you do sort of go, well, look,
Starting point is 00:18:02 I'll just rely on the old classics you know the the people who are tried and trusted and true um people like when it comes to like a moral kind of code people like the dalai lama i mean you just sort of look yeah you just sort of look at people like that and sort of go look i i need to rely on the old guard so to speak, for my moral aptitude, my moral interests. The headline I read for this, for those who don't know it, the NPR headline was,
Starting point is 00:18:34 the Dalai Lama apologises for asking a young boy to suck his tongue. And, you know, you do take a little bit of a step back from what's happening in the world these days and go, is that Chris Morris? I just... Well, the thing that gets me is that I was having a heated debate
Starting point is 00:18:53 in the car with Sarah yesterday going, no, he didn't... the kid did not suck his tongue. And she said, he did. I saw the video. He was sucking the Dalai Lama's tongue. I said, it didn't happen. He just said he wanted it to happen. And I'm like, why are we even having to discuss this? Why are we even having to discuss that the Dalai Lama's asking little boys to suck his tongue?
Starting point is 00:19:15 Good God. Can we just have just a few days off? The ecosystem is also really, like, the ecosystem is really predictable in media as well now. So every outlet that obviously feels like it has to have a take on this does the exact take that you'd expect them to have. And I'll just read the headlines to prove what I mean, right? So The Guardian obviously come out and be really critical of it, say that he needs to retire, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:19:44 The Dalai Lama is living proof that no one is too soon for retirement or whatever yeah no one's too big for retirement yeah right the times go the Dalai Lama was misguided but he's not sleazy yeah and then this is the greatest one the independent you know go go Dalai Lama and the significance of tongue greetings in Tibetan culture oh you're kidding, you're kidding me. You're kidding me. So all the media outlets do exactly what... It's so polarised now.
Starting point is 00:20:10 All the media outlets just do exactly what you'd expect them to do. And the whole thing just rolls on, just continues. It's a strange old world we live in now. The importance of tongue greetings in... Come on now. Yeah. Let's stop this.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Yeah, it's like... Yeah, I'm not sure that's the red hot take they think it is but speaking of red hot takes I was well surprised on Monday to hear you on the Ramble on Monday and I wasn't on it and
Starting point is 00:20:37 you appeared to think that Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun was just called Top Gun well I mean I think which would be good the section in question to think that Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun was just called Top Gun. Well, I mean, I think the section in question, I mean, why he can't be called Top Gun, I do not know. He should be. Goose? What's his name?
Starting point is 00:20:54 Maverick. Maverick. But what's his call sign? What's his actual name? Pete Mitchell, his actual name is. Is it Pete Mitchell? Why do I know that? That is his name.
Starting point is 00:21:03 I do know that for a fact. From the Virgin Radio show Peteete and jeff pete mitchell oh yeah very similar similar kind of characters yeah but his name's pete mitchell but his cool size maverick but i think the film would be better if he was named from birth top gun yeah i look i i love those kind of twitter accounts where they get films and they sort of, and they pretend that someone from the film says the name of the film. Do you know what I mean? And that is why you're a real Top Gun to Maverick. But I was at the end of a very long rant and I forgot momentarily that he was not called Top Gun.
Starting point is 00:21:45 But if he was called Top Gun, that would be absolutely fine. Is that how you think films work? So do you think that Richard Attenborough's character in Jurassic Park is called Jurassic Park? Yeah. Who's in the caravan when we're trying to do this dig for dinosaur bones? It's Jurassic Park? Mr. Jurassic Park? That would be good.
Starting point is 00:22:02 That would make films a lot more interesting, I would say. I mean, I guess in some cases it is the case, like Indiana Jones. Peter, can I also just chuck something out there that I think you might be interested in? And that's that I read the other day that everything, well, not everything, but a lot of stuff that people feel is the case about dinosaurs is wrong
Starting point is 00:22:28 because the latest understanding is that they actually had quite big lips. Right, okay. Which is an amazing development. I guess you wouldn't sort of know that they had big lips from the bones would you so that's to confirm it a paleontologist did say to confirm we need to find a really well preserved like dinosaur right we're fairly certain based on things we can glean from what we know already that you know all the all the kind of artist impressions and and depictions of dinosaurs yeah are basically wrong because they would have hid all their massive
Starting point is 00:23:11 teeth behind quite big lips and i just i just didn't see it coming the same way i didn't see doing that tongue thing i didn't see dinosaur lips being a thing in 2023. Yeah. It feels like more evidence that we're living in a gigantic simulation. I just, I mean, have they told us how they know that dinosaurs have big old lovely lips? No, I don't think so. Big burning island lips.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I don't think so. I think that it's to do probably with the structure of the bones and how they kind of... Part of it might be the way that they develop impressions or ideas. It might be some AI thing, actually, where they run... They probably put the bone structure together and they simulate how they would have moved
Starting point is 00:23:58 and simulate how their mouths would have moved and it would have suggested certain things. But what I find really interesting about dinosaurs, and we don't talk about it enough, I don't think, is that do you know what year dinosaurs were discovered? Do I know what year dinosaurs were discovered? I'm going to take a guess at 1830. The answer's actually 1824.
Starting point is 00:24:25 There you go. That's too bad, is it? Pretty good. Not too far away. Do you not think that is an incredible fact? I mean, it's an incredible fact that they were probably found before and they went, I don't know what that is. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:40 Can't deal with that. Can't deal with that. For thousands of years... Everyone's got diseases. You know what I mean? Can't deal with that. Can't deal with that. But for thousands of years... Everyone's got diseases.
Starting point is 00:24:45 But for thousands of years, no one even knew about the existence of dinosaurs at all. Yeah. Until 200 years ago. So what was the sort of formal kind of identification? They go, right, that's not a goat. That's too big to be an elephant. What's this?
Starting point is 00:25:00 I found another goat. It's massive. Teeth are huge. Massive goat. I think, I think, I think that they just, they obviously,
Starting point is 00:25:08 I think it was William Buckland, wasn't it? The geologist who found a, found a skeleton, essentially. And there was like, I don't know what this animal is. I've never seen it before.
Starting point is 00:25:17 And then, then they found out like it was part of a wider family of lizards. But then like, I guess people would say that, you know, they they were they were being discovered i suppose accidentally for years before that but as you've pointed out no one really said anything they're all fucking weird because i think actually if you given that like the way that dinosaur remains are preserved is so it's actually quite rare they have to be after died a certain
Starting point is 00:25:40 type of death and be in a certain area to have the bones preserved so a lot of it's to do with like swamps and like tar pits and stuff um and they extrapolate from that because there's nothing there's actually a huge amount of kind of samples out there so i guess people were just stumbling upon the gas a big old bone who knows what that is don't really care like you said i've got other things to worry about um and then it was only really 200 years ago that it actually started to be formalized i just think it's really interesting because by the time you start thinking about things like the fossil records human beings
Starting point is 00:26:09 like ways of thinking and philosophies and outlooks are so well established that when something comes along to upset the apple cart like that people just don't really know what to do. I just thought it was an interesting fact. I sort of look at these sort of tar pits,
Starting point is 00:26:25 you know, like the ones in Los Angeles, and, like, they're kind of, they're just these massive expanses of black. Yeah. Like, it just seems bizarre that they wouldn't be exploring those immediately. If I was, like, back in the day, I'd be, like, wanting to just fish stuff out of that all the time.
Starting point is 00:26:43 You'd be like, what's in that? That that's mad i'm just a block of black stuff and we're and we're not using it for anything you're diving in there head first exactly i'm flobbing around i'm running around the surface like a you know as if it's a non-newtonian fluid like daniel like daniel day lewis and there will be blood exactly yeah i want to know what's going on covered in black gold no gold. No, that's tar. Ah, is it? Ah, annoying. Peter, let's have a quick break, because when we come back, we've got to do batteries. I've got a little surprise for you as well. I think you'll be into it. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:27:14 We're back with a look at Pete Shaw. Every Thursday, we look at battery brands you've found in remote controls, etc. Amy's going to kick us off with, hello, I found this battery in a hotel remote. the most generic of generic submissions is it a possible new player amy you flatter deceive uh maintenance warehouse how do you feel about that as a brand um i don't know it's definitely been a rebrand isn't it it's
Starting point is 00:27:38 definitely the i don't think the maintenance warehouse has a strong enough brand to bother rebranding to be honest if i went into a maintenance warehouse and i just saw a lot of ever readies i'd be like yeah you know what that's fine i can deal with that yeah i i agree with you uh but what i would say is that um sadly amy you are the second person to send in maintenance warehouse batteries because our friend stanton smith sent them in in august of last year so you're about nine months too late i'm afraid sorry amy sorry mate um hello to uh paul uh your self-appointed bodega cat experts as paul taking a shot here with some batteries i found in a toy we bought for our new puppy that we brought home around the same time pete got sammy these are all keys all keys yeah unfortunately uh paul they were sent in in november by our friend chris chris frost sent those in so
Starting point is 00:28:34 they're not a new player either i'm afraid oh that's a shame that is a real shame uh moving on to christian's um luke and pete i hope you're both well full disclosure i do not own these batteries i found them at a store in in Seoul where I'm currently on holiday. I'm not sure if that disqualifies me. I think we ran the rule over this earlier. I think it does disqualify a person. Is that fair? Yeah, I think it probably does.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I think you need to really be able to have witnessed the power of the battery and held it in your hand and owned it. But the thing is, it is a pretty cool example of what he sent in. Well, it's got a little, it's sort of blue with white tips and there's a picture of an electrical symbol and a shark, I think. Is that a shark?
Starting point is 00:29:15 No, a whale? I think it's a shark, like a cartoon shark. Where's his fin? They're branded iCube, aren't they? Yeah, so they are iq alkaline so i think all christian all christian needs to do to be fair pete is he just needs to tell a lie well purchase that pack of batteries yeah if he wants to have a new player to enter the game he needs to go back into that shop purchase that pack of batteries yeah for what
Starting point is 00:29:41 i presume is quite a low price and then he can own the batteries and he can enter the new player into the game so if he does that bit of admin towards the end
Starting point is 00:29:49 of the process we can accept it until then we absolutely cannot I'm sorry mate we tried our best to get Kristen but with the best
Starting point is 00:29:55 will in the world if you're not buying the batteries if you're not owning the batteries and like you will need double A batteries at some point
Starting point is 00:30:02 get involved mate yeah I've also got this to show you. So my sister-in-law, SJ, visited last couple of weeks, and she brought a little fan with her. Yeah. And she popped it, and this battery was in it. Oh, I can't really see through the incredible amounts of compression on my line,
Starting point is 00:30:25 but it's blue, it's yellow. What's the name of the move? It's called an E-Circuit Super Heavy Duty. You know what? That sounds like a new play to me. It's a double A. I'm going to search for it now and see what happens. Oh, sadly, there's been three sent in before.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Noah, Joe, and Daniel. Our friend Noah, who sends us stuff all the time he sent one in so it's only a fourth time it's been submitted sadly I was hoping I'd be able to get a new player for SJ
Starting point is 00:30:50 but sadly not but it's still an interesting development nonetheless I was quite excited when I saw it I was like fucking hell
Starting point is 00:30:56 I don't think I've ever seen that one before which is pretty good good stuff alright Peter I think that's pretty much all we've got
Starting point is 00:31:04 time for isn't it i think so let's get out of here uh we'll be back on monday for more of this if you'd like to get in touch uh in the meantime hello look at peter.com we're on tiktok we're on uh the old uh old twitters the old instagram get involved guys so check us out and we'll see you on monday yeah we're on tiktok as well yeah yeah we're on TikTok yeah I read a really interesting article about TikTok the other day it was kind of weird
