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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
because I know you said
something before
you all eat
confectionery
as it were
like it's proper food
right
yeah
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
I found another goat.
It's massive.
Teeth are huge.
Massive goat.
I think,
I think,
I think that they just,
they obviously,
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
but sadly not
but it's still an
interesting development
nonetheless
I was quite excited
when I saw it
I was like
fucking hell
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
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
