have you got a uefa access code have you got a uefa access code that's what the ticket portal
on the uefa.com website says yeah it's just um a lot of people don't know this but if you want
to get tickets it's just the word password password okay let me try that yeah they forgot
to change it so um and that's also to get a secret high-profile VIP access as well.
If you just type in password and you say you want it,
you get to take the kick-off in the final.
Do you get to drive that little car?
Yeah, you do.
Two of them, you get to skate around on them.
Imagine that.
You can't even drive that car because you're a test.
Is that only what it started
reminding me of one of my
many
modern failures
oh what's calling the million dollars
person you're driving
is it still
is it still a raw wound
yeah I think so
it's become infected
over time
I've got staph infection
MRSA all over the gaff
yeah
it's inhabited
the entirety of my body
and I just feel
very lethargic
and very unwell
how does it manifest itself
it just means
you really
really can't drive
even worse
than before
how are you doing
it's the Luke and Pete show
it's the Luke and Pete show
it's Monday
I'm doing good
had a good weekend
drinking out my Luke mug
nice
lovely producer
that got made
especially for me
I've got my cup at home
we bought new mugs
and I don't know whether to use the new mugs
because they're nice,
but I don't want to smash them,
or the old standard,
the Newcastle United mug,
or the Pete mug.
I had a very fraught conversation
with my lovely wife yesterday
regarding drinkware.
As I believe no one calls it.
Okay, right, yeah.
Glassware, I guess.
I'll tell you something.
I'll tell you what's been going on. I'll tell you what's been going on. There are letters in that. I'll tell I tell you what's been going on
there are letters in that
I tell you something
what's been going on
and you may be a new listener to this show
and you think
hang on a minute
I'm a couple of minutes in
and they're talking about mugs and glasses at home
mugs and hugs
it's probably
they're probably thinking
that
oh they're just easing us in
there's going to be some really good content later
it's all like this they've made that absolutely clear mug chat but anyway thinking that, oh, they're just easing us in. There's going to be some really good content later.
It's all like this.
They've made that absolutely clear.
But anyway, I think that it creeps up on you,
the amount of glasses that get broken throughout your home life,
until one minute the penny just drops.
And you've got one wine glass left. Yeah, I've got none left.
And that happened to me yesterday.
Right.
I said to Mimi, I said, where the fucking glass is gone?
Here!
Well, you know that glass that you wrapped around my head last week?
Did it break?
But no, we had a situation, Pete, where we had, she had a glass.
You tried to coax a spider out of the house and you didn't have anything to hold it in.
One glass for her, one glass in the dishwasher.
That was on a cycle.
No glass for Lukey.
You have an aerolator?
So I said, let's get, excuse the aerolator.
Let's get some more glasses in.
She said, well, you could do it.
And I said, I could do it.
And then the conversation went on.
But they had to go into detail on that front.
Right.
But the point is...
What, is this kind of like,
are you not pulling your weight in the house?
Is that the situation?
It's a considerable weight to pull.
I like when people take that into account.
No, exactly.
Yeah, I mean, I reckon I could pull Mimi's weight.
I can't pull yours.
Anyone could pull Mimi's weight.
But you can't pull mine.
No.
A strong wind could probably.
Paddy McGuinness, Paul Shane, and one other celebrity would be needed to pull mine.
Why are you talking about Paul Shane?
Beep, beep, beep.
All morning he's been talking about bloody Paul Shane.
It's ridiculous.
Anyway, so I'm going to buy some more glasses.
We only had one wine glass left and it had like a little shark.
I bought some cool shark wine glasses.
It just makes it harder to clean.
From Wish.
From Wish.com, yeah.
I find wine glasses astonishingly hard to clean anyway.
Yeah.
I don't know how they do it.
I can't put the ones we've got in the dishwasher
because we don't drink that much wine at home.
Mimi has the occasional glass.
She's got like two or three
common old garden wine glasses she uses, right?
If I'm drinking wine,
it's normally because
people are over
and we use the nice wine glasses
but because of the stems,
you can't put them
in the dishwasher.
It's impossible to clean them
without a dishwasher.
I got a dishwasher.
I'll level with you.
I have joined the ranks
of the dishwashies.
Good man.
Move house.
Great time to do it.
You got a built in?
You got a double or a single?
No, it's a double, I think.
There's a lot of room for appliances.
We got a washing machine and a dishwasher.
But the problem is...
You got a dryer?
No, a washing machine and a dishwasher.
But the dishwasher was only there because
there's literally no drying place for the stuff.
It's just a sink next to an oven.
It's got a hob right next to the sink.
It's very confusing.
I was like, why have they done that
there's no place to put
but I realised
obviously they had a dishwasher
and I'm not against dishwashers
but I was like
it's just a bit of a waste
again it's a fool's errand
first of all
before I get into why it's a fool's errand
what do you go for
Biko
uh
Bosch I think
Bosch
okay solid
the reason it's a fool's errand
because
assuming that everything
can be done in the dishwasher
nah
you can't fit everything
in the dishwasher and not everything't fit everything in the dishwasher
and not everything
is dishwasher friendly
so you need a draining area
you need a draining area
for your pots and pans
and stuff
yeah
but the
but the guy
the guy turns up
and he is
who is the guy
the guy is someone
from Amazon
like I did Amazon
with like
come onto your house now
yeah
and you put
that's how
yeah
and if you add an extra 40 quid,
they will install it for you.
I could happily install a dishwasher.
I'm not that shit.
Disagree.
That's...
I wish for the purposes of this show,
you did try and install it yourself.
Well, to be honest,
I probably could have done a better job
than these absolute lunatics.
Turns up,
the waist pipe is too short,
so he needs a small waist pipe.
He doesn't have that, obviously,
because it's off the peg.
But the problem is,
he can't explain that to my partner
because he literally doesn't speak any English.
So he has an intermediary
who has slightly better English than him,
but still not great.
You're the intermediary here, aren't you?
And then it ended up with
with the guy
just spraying water
all over Sarah
a lot of dance music
class to bring 98
oh lovely
yeah
they deserve that
I always pay the
extra 40 quid
to take the old thing
away
that was the other thing
yeah
in broken
in the most broken
English
because I get on the phone
because Sarah
a bit brexity over there.
I mean, it's not... Again, you know my feelings on xenophobia,
but my God,
the guy couldn't communicate
what the problem was.
And his intermediary couldn't.
You need at least to be able to do that.
Did you apologise?
What?
Of course I did.
Yeah, you were probably apologising quite a lot.
His intermediary was lovely.
But again,
she would use words that I was like,
what does that mean? And I was sort of like thinking around stuff, thinking laterally Demidji was lovely. But again, she would use words that I was like, what does that mean?
And I was sort of like thinking around stuff,
thinking laterally about what she was saying.
I was like, oh, it's that.
That's what I have to be presenting with you.
Exactly, exactly.
What does that mean?
But that was another problem.
Then I'd go on, there's a big problem.
We need to take something away for recycling.
Because part of the service was take that away and plumb it in. And they were like, we need to take something away for recycling so because the part of the service was take that away yeah and and and plummet in yeah and and they were like like we need to take something
away i was going there's nothing there don't worry about it we're going well what will our
managers say and i was like probably have the afternoon off i don't care yeah it's not your
problem is it no there's nothing to take away if you want to take something away take the
cardboard boxes they're outside take that to the recycling if you want to take something away take the cardboard boxes that are outside take that to the recycling if you have to take something away
yeah
oh stressful
let me get this right
so he was basically saying
that he would get in trouble
for not taking anything away
for not taking something away
I mean
he could have been saying anything
I've not a clue
but
I just feel guilty
because I wasn't there
so it's working now
it's working now
because I went and got a pipe
and went and connected it together
and
wow
you must have had a great sense
of achievement there.
I've connected a washing machine.
No, but if I do anything like that, I feel like I'm cock of the walk for a week.
It's just a little tube.
I remember one of the best moments of my life was when Mimi was having a go at me for not
being able to do anything around the house, which I can't.
And I know her dad will be listening, the great Elsie.
So hello to you, Elsie.
Yes, I know.
Compared to you, I can do nothing.
Because Mimi's dad will be like, I mean, I've So hello to you, Elsie. Yes, I know, compared to you, I can do nothing. Because Mimi's dad will be like,
I mean, I've said this to you before,
he'll just decide
that he's got a few days off
in a month's time
so he's going to,
from scratch,
completely redo the kitchen himself.
Yeah.
Oh, it's incredible.
I would say in our defence,
our homes are a little bit more bricky
and a bit more like structural.
Mimi had a go at me once
for not being able to do anything,
but she had a go at me
in the spare room,
which I painted, put the light fitting on, put the shelf up. Thank you. I was a go at me once for not being able to do anything but she had a go at me in the spare room which I painted
put the light fitting on
put the shelf up
I was like
excuse me
have a little look around
it couldn't have been better.
Who met with that little telly?
Who met with that little telly?
Like Farage's telly in the kitchen.
Yeah it is a bit like that actually
and yes it is a little bit
angled.
Right okay.
Look that's angled for your pleasure.
I don't mind it.
I prefer my TV like that.
If it falls on my feet or the cat,
it's our decision for that to happen.
But I am terrible around the house,
so anything like that would be a great sense of achievement for me.
I see this wall here, all this stuff.
I need a place to record in the outbuilding,
which is my home.
The garage.
The garage.
And I'm sort of like going, right,
I'm going to build a structure like this.
I'm going to build two walls of this to block off half of it.
And I'm thinking, I'm going to go to Wix and I'm going to get timber, right?
So I need to get timber to make the framework.
I need rock water to go inside because that's what's in these walls in our studio.
And then some kind of thing to tie it together.
Do you know sometimes on the front page of a newspaper,
the bottom half of the newspaper will be a big story about the government
and the top half will just be an aerial photo of a newspaper, the bottom half of the newspaper will be a big story about the government.
And the top half will just be an aerial photo of a house that's fallen down. And say like a few feared missing or whatever.
Carry on.
That's what's going to happen here.
It's not.
Look, it'll be fine.
But I don't know.
Maybe somebody can get in touch because this show goes out today.
Give us a tweet.
How do I put the timber together?
Is it big long nails or big long screws?
What's the best?
Yeah, what's your cut off there?
What?
Exactly.
I think it would be screws, wouldn't it, surely?
I don't know because you see,
I think people sort of put it together with nails
and then fortify it with screws.
Maybe no more nails would suffice.
I just can't see.
I think I speak on behalf of the Luke and Pete show community
when I say I can't see this ending well.
You're going to be astonished with how lumpy these waters are with Rockwell.
I hope it does go well,
because it means you'll never have to come in again.
Because you'll be able to do everything you can from home.
But anyway, listen, it's Monday the 5th of July.
This is the Luke and Pete show.
I've been seeing Alan Jones' cock today.
Well, I was going to ask you about that.
Would you please...
Because you avowed me of this story earlier today. I didn't know about it. is cock today well i was going to ask you about right would you please because you you availed
me of this story earlier today i didn't know about it there will be people listening here who
are from the beautiful sunny uh country australia for example okay or or the deepest darkest
place in scotland hell right so they may not abandon if you're scottish you're gonna know
who ala jones is for those who aren't in the UK tell us the Aled Jones story
who is he first and foremost
he is a celebrated
voice I suppose
of like classical
ditties
start with the snowman
did he get his
he was a kid in
Aled in
God was that the kid then
snowman
that was the kid from the snowman
walking in the air
that guy
right
people get older in time
yeah but I mean
he's about our age isn't he yeah he's maintained his kind of fame for a very, very long time.
Good on him.
Yeah, because he did the Christian thing.
Yes.
So what happens is, in broadcasting terms or fame terms, as a kid you can do what you
want.
If you're talented, then you have to specialise.
Yes.
For example, Alex Zane, film.
Right.
Rick Edwards, science.
True.
People like the guy from Blue Peter, football.
Hammond, cars. What was Hamm like the guy from Blue Peter, football. Hammond, cars.
What was Hammond doing when he was younger, though?
I don't know, to be honest.
He screams to me that he was doing a BTEC
at some kind of provincial college.
Rich.
Well, it takes one to know one.
And worked at Bella Italia.
Oh, nice.
I like that.
I've made that up.
That could have been what happened.
He doesn't really count.
But people who get fame
in broadcasting or something else younger,
they have to specialise as they get older.
Ali Jones specialised as a Christian.
He took his fame from the snowman, went
through, before you know it, bang, songs of praise.
Songs of praise. God man. Songs of praise.
Songman. Anyway,
what's he done? On his reels, which I
believe is kind of like a 24-hour
kind of disposable version of the tweet.
That's Fleets, isn't it?
Fleets, sorry.
Reels is Instagram.
Sorry.
I have to hold your hand for all this stuff.
I just never used any of them.
Fleets.
Fleets.
A man in some Calvin Klein briefs was seen.
Very well endowed.
Yeah, it looked like it was a little bit of padding, maybe.
I'm not going to cast aspersions to whoever the junker
that was but
he also had a t-shirt
like a dirty t-shirt
tucked into his
Calvin Klein pants
as well
which I did really get
so
it was on his reels
he's done the classic
thing that all
men of a certain age
do when
something awry
appears on someone's
twitters
saying
hashtag hacked
I was hacked
oh my god
put on two factor
authentication I was hacked I'm my God, put on two-factor authentication,
I was hacked.
Yeah.
I'm sure it wasn't his willy.
I'm sure it wasn't his bulge.
But it's just,
why do they always go with hacked?
The lion wasn't out of the cage anyway.
Say again.
No, exactly.
Yeah.
But the reason they always go with hacked,
as I'll tell you,
as a man approaching middle age myself,
men of our age and older
get regularly teased
for being shit with technology.
Turn it to your advantage.
I'm a boomer.
I know nothing about tech.
I obviously got hacked.
Oh, did I press the wrong button on my printer?
Is that what happened?
And it was crotch level
and I was in my pants.
Oh, how did that sexy lady in a gif
get onto my screen?
I don't know what I was doing.
I was enjoying it.
For the England match
I was round a mate's house
and he's making these lovely ribs
he's got this brand new house
and it's like a hitman
it was massive
he wasn't making ribs
was he
hopefully he was cooking them
he's cooking them
sorry
stay away from the grill
he was making them
but he was going
he was sort of talking
waxing lyrical
about how many
like sexy ladies
is on his Instagram
like his kind of
you know the algorithm
just throws up loads of shit
and I was like
based on his earlier browsing
exactly
and he was saying that
in front of his partner
and I was like
mate that's all on your
and he was beautifully
trying to tiptoe around
and go I've no idea
how these sexy ladies
get on
we did that before
you me and our mate
and our mate got
in his algorithm
on Instagram
just got a load of meat
being grilled at houses
different property porn
yeah
but he's doing it
in front of his partner
he's like
I mean that's risky
she's a consulting surgeon
she knows what's going on
well that's probably
helping with the ribs
was she
these are forensically cut
very well rendered
yeah
the apotheosis of the genre
I think we can all agree
being that conservative MP
who went on a bit
got on his high horse
on Twitter
and went
I cannot believe how many obscene adverts I'm being sent on my internet
websites.
And someone was like,
yeah,
it's based on your browser.
But wasn't it like,
wasn't it like a home,
like he wrote our Jews and then it was like,
you know,
I did,
or did the Holocaust happen or something like that?
Oh,
that's right.
And he had a little timer,
a little logo for a timer saying,
you literally fucking typed that in,
you fucking psychopath.
Yeah.
Jeez.
It's backfired that
did you not thought about it
there's not
there is always
I mean I don't have
anything seditious
or problematic
on my phone
but there's enough
like men's knobs
and stuff
that could sneak out
and it's not my knob
you think that
you do have
a lot of problematic
stuff on your phone
but it's just not
problematic to you
if people saw that
out of context
oh yes you'd be in big trouble.
I would.
Buddy boy.
Buddy Bo.
Anything in my gallery,
I'd go, yeah, that is...
I mean, my wallpaper is Vish in a Man United hat.
Yeah, I mean, that's troubling.
That's troubling.
It's really low res as well.
Why have you got Vish on there?
What does Sarah think when she sees that?
She's been used to it.
She used to be on there.
Yeah, you changed it for a man that you work with anyway
the core presenter I
have access to
anyway I keep
wanting to say it's
Monday the 5th of
July this is a Luke
and Pete show but
we're halfway through
the episode now so
there's no point
it's like one of
those really
pretentious cold
opens in a big
blockbusting Netflix
series isn't it
it is indeed
I tracked that once
and I was re-watching
Breaking Bad a while
back and at some point
there were like
still opening credits
on the episode
like 18 minutes in
right yeah
that's a bit
crazy
absolutely crazy
in TV they're obsessed
with getting credits
aren't they
obsessed with getting
credit for everything
it's always built
into deals and stuff
does it help you
in the future
if you get a credit
as you know
exec producer or whatever
it's a big part
of their career I think
and also I think
because TV's so old
as a genre,
I mean, I haven't been
privy to that much
of this kind of stuff.
But when you're doing deals
for shows in this game
that we're in
and it gets optioned
for TV or derivative rights
or whatever,
the amount of TV people
that want to get involved
is incredible.
Right.
So for us, we make podcasts,
just a few of us, right?
You made the Burnley show
and it's just you
and one other person
or whatever
and someone else
to help with the sound design
whatever
you did an amazing job
my point is
if that was TV
there'd be about 15 people
doing it
and you can tell that
on things like
so for example
Gladwell's podcast
Revisionist History
it's Pushkin
I think he's
a lot of the team
he's got a lot of background
in other areas
of the media
if you listen to the credits
of the end of an episode
of Revisionist History,
I mean,
I've counted them
because I'm pathetic like that.
On one of the episodes,
I heard they had 17 credits
for one podcast episode.
It's an attaboy though
and it's kind of like,
we're not going to pay you
much money.
But in America,
they do pay him.
There's loads of money
in media in America.
I don't know what you mean.
I don't know.
I just think sometimes your work's got to speak for itself and if you, you know America they do pay them. There's loads of money in media and pen in America. I don't know what you mean. I just think sometimes
your work's got to
speak for itself and
if you know you've
got personal
satisfaction.
I can't believe
you're saying that
on this show.
It's got to speak
for itself.
We need to
obfuscate Pete.
True.
We need to
obfuscate him.
It certainly doesn't
in this case.
Good Lord.
Can I ask you
quickly before we
go to a break.
Yes.
I just want to
let you know
because I think
you'd be able
I took a photo of it but I forgot to send it to you because i've been a bit busy and uh
got on your reels did it in your fleets i saw um so i was in cambridge at the weekend
and um have you seen did you see in london a while back when they had um the wallace and grommet
sheep all over all over the country yes yes couple in in London. It was for the charity to do with Ardman.
I think it's based in Bristol.
My friend's wife does a lot of great work for it.
Anyways, check it out.
It's a great charity.
There was a cow version in Cambridge at the weekend.
Right.
And cows, like brass statues of cows.
Ooh, the brass cow on it.
Exactly.
That's what I thought.
Dotted around the city.
And one of them was a steampunk one.
A steampunk cow.
Top hat,
cogs,
glasses,
goggles.
Goggles.
Like,
you know,
like,
I can't imagine it.
This is hard to imagine
and this is definitely one
for the Luke and Pooch
are out of context
Twitter if it ever happens.
Imagine a cow
in a waistcoat
but the waistcoat
is like a riveted
metal waistcoat.
It was like that
with goggles. I justcoat with goggles I just
thought you I just
thought you were
steampunk I appreciate
that mate the big
things that everyone
listens to the show
knows you for
steampunk peaky
blinders only fools
and horses that's your
kind of area it's not
a single day that
goes by that somebody
doesn't tweet me
something about the
only fools and horses
it stopped how many
series were there
and it just stopped
years ago you would
know you would know I always I always i always tattoo people should never refrain from messaging you any kind of only
fours and horses news we can always assume you've seen it you've probably got a google alert set up
but it's always pays to make sure yeah um so anyway listen let's have a quick break i want
to tell you about the steampunk cow before we did so in the break peachy then just check up
on these only fours and horses stuff uh when we come back we'll do some of your emails
Alright we're back
it's the Luke and Pete
Show part two
Luke I'm asking you
this question
I've got through to
the UEFA Euro 2020
ticket portal
You're joking
But the only tickets
are available at least
It's been like that
for like 24 hours now
Really?
Just Italy and Spain?
Yeah so I believe
I mean by the time
this show comes out
it may not be the case
but I believe
that there is
an expectation
that the Danish FIA
are going to send
some tickets back
if they do
they should be put
out on the portal
I see
so if you're listening
to this and you are
in some way
an England fan
and you are
you're based in the UK
keep an eye on it
actually no
I'll want to get them
don't keep an eye on it
there's no point
don't worry about it
don't go on the portal
there's no chance
nothing's happening
you might as well close that down now Donny do I want to watch that though't keep it on there's no point don't worry about it don't go on the portal there's no chance nothing's happening you might as well
close that down now Donny
do I want to watch that though
it's quite expensive
nah fuck it
I'll watch it on the telly
anyway
there are some cheap ones
they're fans first tickets
you know for competition
so like 80 euros
that's good
that's cheap
I mean they're not that now
they're like 300 quid
but yeah
anyway
oh well

all kinds of miscellaneous
objects from your
standard pen lid
to destroying all the
buttons on the sky remote
with my teeth.
Now, I've never bitten
with a Sky Remote,
but those buttons were big.
They were yielding.
Oh, I'd love to get my incisor
into one of them.
If you were one of those people
who explores the world
via their mouth,
that was dream stuff.
Luxurious.
Yeah.
Luxurious.
However, I soon learned my lesson
when I nearly died,
aged 11.
My grandma made
a little homemade advent calendar,
and every Christmas she'd fill every pocket with little chocolates and a daily gift.
One day the gift was a small padlock.
Not sure why she did miss a fun gift for a child.
Is your grandmother a cracker?
Is she a Christmas cracker?
Anyway, the lot was probably about the size of a bottle cap,
and while chewing on it, it somehow ended up lodged in my throat.
I quickly realised I was choking, probably to death,
and it took a few minutes. in my throat. I quickly realised I was choking, probably to death, and it took a few minutes.
Probably to death.
Probably to death.
And it took a few minutes of my mum
frantically hitting me on the back to dislodge it,
and I eventually was able to spit it out.
I mean, I presume her first thought was,
no, no, no, no, locksmith.
Fair to say, I learned my lesson,
but I'm still partial to the odd viral now and again.
Thanks to Sean.
Me and Luke are like kindred spirits,
though I've never choked on a lock.
I find that very hard.
I find it very hard to believe
that you didn't have some kind of choking episode as a kid.
No, no.
Maybe I've got a very limited epiclosis, so to speak.
Is that the name of it?
Yeah, I think so.
I famously in my...
I'm not going to do myself any favours
telling this story, but whatever.
I famously in my I'm not going to do myself any favours telling this story but whatever I famously in my family
once choked on a big chunk of roast beef
over Sunday lunch
and
because the nature of the family I have
as you can probably tell from me
we're all piss takers
and
there was about 15 seconds
of solid piss taking
I was probably about 40
yeah before you started to turn bald
and then my dad was like
what are we doing what do you mean what we're doing and luckily of solid piss taking I was probably about 40 yeah before he started to turn bald and then my dad was like what
what are you doing
what are you doing
what are you doing
and luckily
it was weird though
because no one
heimlicht me
right
it just ended up
just going down my throat
okay
so it got stuck
so it skipped out
it eventually
just went down
just trickled down
and it was so bad
that I couldn't eat
because my throat
felt really like
it had been
damaged or something
so I couldn't eat for like I don't know 20 minutes I couldn't eat I couldn't eat because my throat felt really like it had been damaged or something so I couldn't eat
for like I don't know
20 minutes
I couldn't eat
for a while
but it was funny
because Sunday
so Sunday lunch
in my family
growing up
in their old house
before we moved
when I was about 16
we always used to do it
so my dad
used to work quite a lot
my mum used to work shifts
so we didn't always
get to sit down
but my parents
and I'm really grateful
they did this every Sunday they said look we're going to have sunday lunch so
even when i got a bit older and i played football on a sunday i'd always go for my sunday lunch and
as i was a bit older my mates would go back to the be at the pub and i'd go back to the pub after
anyway the reason it was fucking funny is because do you remember those chairs that families used
to have that they were like almost like it's hard to explain
but they had like
little kind of
straw woven things
holes in them
do you understand what I mean
yes
and so it would be
so these chairs we had
you always see them
knackered in the street
yes exactly
because people have fallen through
exactly
so we had those
and we had this cat
called Jasper right
and he knew
that every Sunday
there would be loads of food
on offer
and he always knew
that my sister
who's five years younger than me was the softest target right so every sunday lunch he used to go
under the chair which is obviously it's almost half see-through because it's just knitted straw
woven together with holes all through it and he would just crawl the shit out the bottom of the
chair right until my sister would start crying there'd be a load of commotion and he'd somehow
get older some meat or something
it was incredible
to the point of where
he pulled all the chairs
even if we
were attacking him around
and so we had to
buy completely new chairs
so
in my mind
Sunday lunches
at my parents
and our family home
were just chaos
it was like me
choking
my cat
attacking my sister
like repeatedly
it was absolute chaos
anyway
did anyone call anyone
a C word
that was the famous
Luke and Pete Shaw
story wasn't it
greedy cunt
no that wasn't my family
that was one of our
listeners family right
what about this email
from Liam O'Hare
who says
hi guys
I couldn't sleep last night
because I had a dream
that Luke left Stack
to present the BBC news
with Maisie Williams
okay yeah
alright fair I'd probably love that I wouldn't like Liam Stack I think the dynamic between can I work it around my initial job looped left stack to present the BBC News with Maisie Williams. Okay, yeah. All right, fair.
I'd probably love that.
I wouldn't like leaving stack.
I think the dynamic between...
Can I work it around my initial job?
I probably could.
We'll have a discussion.
Do it on shift.
Yeah, I guess you kind of
have a similar dynamic
because you'd be the tall...
I can't remember the guy
I gave a film as the tall Scottish bloke
who was in those adverts in the 90s.
Oh, um...
The Scarface man.
Oh, would you...
Angry Dave. Jerome Flynn? No, angry... He Scarface Man. Oh, would you... Angry Dave.
Jerome Flynn?
No, Angry Dave.
He was like an angry toddler
who hung out with
Maisie Williams
as the smart...
Oh, um, the Hound.
The Hound, yeah.
That's it, yeah.
Yeah, he also plays
one of the bad guys
in Hot Fuzz.
Yes.
Yarp, that guy.
Yeah.
So you reckon
it'd work well?
Yeah, I think the dynamic
would work, to be honest.
I'd love to work
with Maisie Williams.
No nonsense. I don't want to be a newsread'd love to work with Maisie Williams. No nonsense.
I don't want to be a newsreader now.
That's not really my thing.
Okay.
I haven't got good enough diction, have I?
Yeah, you have.
You can speak all nice and nice.
My T's are too splashy, as the girl from this time would say.
What?
The T's?
The most pissed off Alan Partridge gets in this time, that series, is when in an ad break,
his co-presenter, Jenny, whatever she's's called says that his T's are too splashy.
He really plays in his mind.
So Liam it's great to know
that I'm not only
permeating your conscious
I'm also permeating
your subconscious.
Just take that as a compliment
I suppose.
But BBC News
reading is not for me really.
I don't think it's the best
use of Maisie's talents either.
True, true.
She's wasted doing
BBC News reading.
I mean you're in a situation
where you are not,
no one's asking you to do this.
This is literally just a dream someone had.
Yeah.
I had a wild dream last night
that I was under gunfire
and I had to hide in a bin.
So, look,
I'd be no good in Fallujah either.
No.
No.
Unless I had a really good bin.
Is it even bulletproof?
I think I've done that in PUBG probably.
Didn't work there either.
Anyway, let's squeeze one more email in
shall we before we go.
There's some good ones actually. Some really good
ones. There's some good ones mate. Actually do you know what
we're not going to do another email. I want to ask you about this Pete.
Because this really came to me
before I came into the studio this
morning. Is that
have you seen that shop?
That Amazon shop now my
friend went there
the other day he
was telling me about
it where you just
walk in grab all
the stuff you want
to get you scan
your kind of Amazon
ID and log in you
pick up everything
you want to pick up
and you just walk
out and it charges
for you automatically
a lot of lads in my
school used to do
that but
as soon as I heard
about it
I just want to test it
I would like
I would like to get
to the door
and just turn around
and go ha ha ha ha
even though I'd paid
for everything
that was in there
at what point
do you get charged
as you walk out
yeah I guess as soon
as you get charged
how does it even work
it's all RFID
tag isn't it
in all of the products
you know like the things
that when you...
It's the same technology as your Oyster card or whatever.
So every product will have one of them in, maybe, or something.
And so as it leaves the store,
maybe there's a proximity thing with your mobile phone
or your account that tells, well,
that person's carrying out that particular piece of property.
I don't know, man. I've never designed it.
So they just stick them on.
It's like a sticker version.
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
Otherwise it'd be very expensive, right?
Yeah.
What about if you're buying an individual apple?
You ain't going to put a sticker on that.
I don't know.
I don't really know, to be honest, Lukey.
I'd love to know.
If people know, they should tell us.
They should get in touch.
