The Luke and Pete Show - Bugs not hugs

Episode Date: January 13, 2022

Pete has been doing some “work” research by checking out Spotify's back catalogue of erotic podcasts. He reportedly hasn’t managed to find a Hero Quest episode yet, but we’ll keep you updated.We then discuss the prospect of replacing meat with bugs and there is some major controversy in our mission to enter some new players into the game.Do you have any thoughts on our battery protocol? Email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are back with the Luke and Pete show. It is Thursday. Thursday, the 13th of Japan. It's the 13th of Japan. I got the date right. Said the wrong month. I turned it into a country. You didn't say the wrong month

yeah you said something that isn't a month yeah I've not done a Broad Japan for a couple of days I did them right through Christmas and I just haven't done one

for a week so now I'm confused my personal favourite day since Monday the 13th of Cup Holder Nicaragua very good to have you along Peter it's good to see you again

alright yeah everything's fine what alright is it yeah it's alright it's alright a beer isn again. All right, yeah. Everything's fine. All right, is it? Yeah, it's all right. It's all right to be here, isn't it? Do you sometimes think, because obviously we're now whatever it is, however many days we are into January 2022.

Yeah. Do you ever think, God, it's a long way to go in this year, isn't it? What, do you want it over? I wouldn't mind winter to be over. That's what I'd very much like. I can't be bothered. We haven't really had a proper winter either.

The last week or so, it's been actually cold. Yeah. Except for your Monday. It's crazy on New Year's Eve. It's like 15 degrees at night. It's mad. It's absolutely insane. Yeah, it has been rather strange.

But it is going to get colder. We are going to see. I'm just thinking, because for the first time ever, I de-iced a car. I've never driven a car before, so I was like, how do I do this? I think you've got to turn the thing on hot

and then spray it. You mean using the fan thing? I used the fan thing, and then I did some spraying as well. I found some of that in the back of Sarah's car, but it's just all new. This is all new to me, driving in sleety weather.

How do you find it when you're driving along and the windscreen steams up were you prepared for that today I was constantly doing it every five minutes I had to turn off

turn off the Holy Bible Max Rebitches that album there's very few albums that have that many decent songs on them it's up there for me

I love that album I don't like that you are listening to the Holy Bible on the way to the world. In 2022. Because I think you need to Buck up.

Yeah. I tell you that will fucking talk spot though, won't it? Or rival podcasts, I suppose. I see your point. I mean,

that is the only album available. What else are you possibly, you've been backed into a corner there, haven't you? It's either the radio or a specific album from 1994

by the Mac Street Preachers yeah I went through and listened to where did you buy that car 1997 those are their tables in there

you've got Spotify on your phone yeah I was just listening look it's a good album and it's one of my favourites and I was listening to it and I was like

every song in this album I love so have a bit of that so it's got Faster on it right Faster Revol She Is Suffering. If White America Told Truth One Day This Whole World Would Fall Apart. That's the first one, I think.

That's the first album. Second song. Second song on this album. Is it? Yeah. What? You listened to it today. Which was I going to like?

I'm not going to fucking sing it. You tell me off for singing most of the time. It's Faster. I am an architect. They call me a butcher. So my feeling, so I'm interested in... Forced on seven pounds or something?

Yeah, that's on there. Because the whole album has got a load of themes of anorexia and self-harm. It's dark, man. It's dark. But Peter, I would have this album,

I haven't listened to it for ages, I would have thought that if I listened to this album now, it would have thought that if I listened to this album now, it would have dated really badly. The guitar dates, but he's always been a bit of a noodle monster, hasn't he? I think the drumming is pedestrian

on some songs. Sorry, Sean Moore. But this is all Richie Edwards' era though, isn't it? Yeah. I'll be totally honest with you, I don't think I'd listen to it now, but I didn't really mind like the Everything Must Go era

Man Street Preachers. That was their last passable. Was it really? Yeah, I think definitely. Okay. So you're listening, so you're driving along in your car,

you're listening to the Man Street Preachers and you're singing so loudly that you're steaming up your own windscreen. Is that what's happening? It's really hard to hit the notes that he hits but I'm doing it

every time Luke and I'm loving life. I'm loving life. I believe you baby boy. Yes. Suffering. I reckon you've got it in you. I reckon I have.

What other albums sometimes I so we haven't we've never talked about this. Right. I've mentioned it occasionally. What albums you can listen to in full and not go

oh this is fucking boring. No. No no no no. I've so you've got I've got access to your Spotify on my Spotify. Oh, that was the worst thing. I was listening to

they do erotic podcasts sometimes. Not sometimes, but I was like, I wonder if they do erotic I wonder if they do erotic podcasts. Hang on. So you've gone from they do erotic podcasts to you saying one day to yourself, I wonder from they do erotic podcasts to you saying one day to yourself

I wonder if they do erotic podcasts No no no So I was like going I mean you know pornography is a thing that moves needles in every era of technology

So I was like I wonder if they do like sexy erotic stories and they do Right And I listen to a lot on Spotify This is even after

I haven't read yet Say again The stack Because you weren't voicing them I took my trousers off if you're a fan of

green beer yeah but it is it's just kind of like they're really cheaply done they're really badly written clearly by men

and it's just all a woman at a at a drinks party is seduced by two twins, two male twins. And it goes all romantic. Are they not written for women? They're written for men in this case?

I think they're written, well, I think they're supposed to be written for women, but they're very much written for men. They're badly written. What do you think women want? Well, it's just like, and then I pounded her anal, you know, all that shit.

So it's really sort of graphically, needlessly graphic, not very kind of well-written. It's awful. And it's just read by, clearly someone they've got off, you know, Fiverr or something to, you know,

they've got like an Eastern European woman to read it kind of sexily and breathily. And it's really poor stuff but what I forgot is that everyone can see what I'm listening to on Spotify

yeah it's a disaster it's a fucking disaster I appreciate you owning up to that but I wasn't actually going to

mention that but what I was going to say was what happens in the right hand side column of my Spotify because I think

probably when Spotify first you're always listening to something yeah when Spotify first came out

I think probably people Spotify first came out, I think probably people were more interested in the social aspect of it. Because we're probably still in the social media fucking world. And I followed you. I followed Katie from Jack Show. And I follow Bob DeMello. Remember Bob? I remember Bob DeMello.

I saw him in the street. He was drunk. He's not always drunk. I just saw him and I was like, wow, I'm street he was drunk he's not always drunk I just saw him and I was like wow I'm surprised he's drunk but he's a good guy he used to be in a band

called Super Tennis oh they were great yeah I haven't seen Bob for ages and I the amount of times I'll open up Spotify and you are listening

to some really and this is not a criticism some really basic pop punk monstrosity basic and I feel all the mad caddies basic it is the mad caddies not a criticism, some really basic pop punk monstrosity. Basic? All the mad caddies basic. It is the mad caddies. Face to face basic. The bouncing souls.

But I noticed also that you have and I don't know exactly when you did this but this is quite sweet so listeners are going to have to bear with me and enjoy this. You've got a playlist on your Spotify called For Luke.

I have, yeah. I did a nice sort of put together... An emo pop punk journey. And it absolutely shames me that to this day... You've never dared your boots. You did it...

You created it for me over five years ago. I've not listened to a single second of it. So I'm going to remedy that. Oh, Lukey. And the rest of the show is going to be 10 songs on this page.

I don't even know what's on that, to be honest. So I have not seen your erotic stories journey. No. Listen, but what I would say is this. Do you know who one of the most prolific and successful sex porn magazine stories writers was in a previous career? Oh, was it someone like Norman Mailer or something? Someone like that.

It's not a writer oh okay oh I don't know him Alistair Campbell right okay was he writing as far as he was a journalist yeah he is a writer

but yeah oh interesting oh cool yeah sexy was he prolific or was he just he was just doing it

is it sexy to think Alistair Campbell can we get out it's less sexy I know that yeah oh never mind so if if

Stack had to produce a show about porn or erotic stories, and you were tasked with running the project, Pete, how would you approach it? A lot of... I'd basically make the... Was it the radiophonic division of the BBC where you just kind of have to make squelchy noises? No, but how good

would that job be? Fingering a melon. Right, okay. I'm going to regret asking you. How much of a great job would that have been back in the day?

Do you remember I was thinking of that video the other day, Pete, of David Attenborough, back in the forefront of proper exploration in the 20th century, like in

the 50s, going to Papua New Guinea, places no one had ever been to before apart from indigenous people, and meeting them and talking to them. And what an exciting time to be making TV shows, right?

Yes. The Radiophonic Workshop, again, you can buy records, vintage records from Radiophonic Workshop back in the day, all this mad shit they were doing in the name of public service broadcasts to accompany TV shows.

Fucking great. If you see the photos, it's these amazing men and women in lab coats with these big bits of fucking gear doing shit. With these crazy microphones you've never heard before. Yeah, it's these like amazing like men and women in lab coats with these big bits of fucking gear doing shit with these crazy microphones you've never heard before

yeah it's cool that's a great fucking job to have oh massively and imagine how many wires imagine how many wires are in there and they have to be wires because no wireless technology

exactly when I went to the Pink Floyd exhibition at the Victorian Albert Museum arguably the most boring start to a sentence ever they got to the point I think around Dark Side of the Moon

Pete you were like this where what they were trying to do hadn't been really done before so they were having to create their own mixing desk and their own instruments

and stuff right okay that's cool isn't it that is cool I mean anything that has to be sort of bodged I love that and then these

bodgy kind of instruments and kind of samplers and stuff they become a commercial enterprise sort of like I want to make you know but in between that I want a Mellotron these bodgy kind of instruments and kind of samplers and stuff, they become a commercial enterprise. It's sort of like, I want to make, you know.

But in between that, I want a Mellotron. In between inventing it for your own ends and it becoming commercialised, can you replicate the sound again without it? Yeah. And you have to,

and the thing about being methodical and intelligent is that you have to kind of, because I, when I sort of do, when I've got to put little, I've been putting together a couple of pilots recently

and I sort of spent a lot of time getting the production right because it was a parody of something else. So I was like, right, get the production right. And then I realised

that I'd deleted a lot of the original files. I was like, I've lost the master tapes. You can't get them back. Can't get them back. I'd have to recreate them again and it would sound different

every single time. So I'm a fucking idiot. It happens though because do you remember that talk? Well, it wasn't a talk. I mean, 2008. I think it was 2008. Universal Studios burnt down, didn't it? Right, okay.

And I think there was 175,000 master tapes lost. Oh, that's bad, isn't it? All kept in one big facility. Why is it in Universal Studios? That sounds like a big part. Universal is it in Universal Studios? Why is it in... That sounds like a... Universal Music is the same company. Right.

Okay, so... They were keeping them in the big lots there, I think. Back them up somehow. Just back them up for crying out loud. Yeah, I think it was digital, video, film, music,

all sorts. That's disgusting. That makes me feel... Imagine being in charge of the... Basically, you've essentially destroyed a massive part of popular culture. Yeah. If you're the fire safety, you've essentially destroyed a massive part of popular culture. Yeah.

If you're the fire safety officer. Worse than the Taliban. Kind of similar. Kind of similar. Isn't it interesting? Speaking of that, how really, really right-wing people, say, for example, in the US,

these mad, mad ones. Yeah, yeah. They're kind of... You think to yourself, you'd have a lot in common with the Taliban. They would, wouldn't they? Yeah. They see them as being the mortal enemy of America,

but they've got the same ideas. Yeah. No, massively. Hate culture. Women's rights. Yeah, hate women's rights. Yeah, it's an interesting thing. Pete, before we go and do a little ad break,

because we should tell ourselves off, chastise ourselves for how long we ran on Monday. Sorry. No, it's both of our fault. Have you heard of a company called Youngbug? Youngbug. No, no, I haven't. So. No, it's both of our fault. Have you heard of a company called Youngbug? Youngbug? No, no I haven't. So Youngbug, I saw them in the,

I saw them on the tube and I thought I'd ask you about it because you are not at all a fussy eater. You'll get anything in your gob, won't you? I'll get anything, though I am this week and hopefully for the rest of the month, trying where I can to eat vegetarian because I had two bouts of sickening food poisoning over Christmas, both times that I cooked A, a turkey, and B, a fish pie from

salmon that had been left out. That's never a good idea, is it? You won't learn your lesson, though, will you? I won't learn my lesson. I go back to the well every single time, but I'm like, you know what? No, I'm going to try. The well of vomit. I'm going to try, and when I'm out and about, when it's my own choice,

I'm going to try and eat a veggie. And I've done a week of it. What kind of stuff have you eaten? A lot. I don't know. Stir fry. What did I make? Pancakes.

What stuff are you putting in it instead of meat, though? Jackfruit. I made some jackfruit stuff. Where did you buy jackfruit from? Listen, let me tell you something now. Someone doesn't have a waitress near them I'm a cosmopolitan man

right I'm open to most things right I hear talk of jackfruit all the fucking time yeah I've never once

seen it for sale ever you must have seen it in a restaurant though because it's kind of like yeah on the menu but I'm not buying things they've bought it

where are they buying it from is there some so you've got Billingsgate Fish Market Spittlefield Smithfield's Meat Market is there some so you've got Billingsgate Fish Market Spitalfield Smithfield's Meat Market is there some kind of Jackfruit Market

there was some Jackfruit Market it's brilliant Jackfruit Market where did you get it from tell me I got it from Waitrose in a tin and you get it out

yeah it's just tinned I mean it's it doesn't taste nice is it the one that's got the consistency of pulled pork it resembles pulled pork right and like

it doesn't it's slimy and it's wet and it's and I've yet to have it where if someone consistency of pulled pork? It resembles pulled pork. Right. And like, it doesn't. It's slimy and it's wet and it's, and I've yet to have it where if someone, yeah, delicious. How long will you last for? I don't know, but I just want to, I don't think my stomach recovered from the first bout and it's just really

painful. Like, just contractions where your body's going, let's get this out, Pete. Let's get this out. Some occasions I do have to speak on behalf of the Luke and Pete Show community here. The problem isn't meat, is it? The problem is one of two things with you. It's eating out-of-date fetid meat or not cooking meat or fish properly. Everyone else in the house is fine, but I just have one of those constitutions.

Oh, right. So everyone else ate exactly the same things that I ate. What, you and the two dogs Buckley one of the dogs he's like let him out I know pet stories

are fucking boring but no they're not actually but the dog's out and he's just climbed into one of the fucking planters where the fucking

plants live obviously I think people know what planters most people of our age haven't just discovered planters like you Pete and I was like you Pete and he

and I was like it looks like he's pulled a ball but he's chomped on that I was like god I hope that's not poisonous so I run round

and he's pulled out no head of a lie a lamb shank about the size of my arm like a big from the planter he must have put it there no

I think it's a foxes do this all the time that's a that's a man's fibula the ball looked like a ball of a joint

like in a hip and I was like that's too big and I was like I was worried that it might be a child's femur it might be a

child's femur and I went I'll just throw that in the bin eat all of it what a terrible fox got it from a bin or something

he must have got it from a bin or something? He must have got it from someone's bin but it looked pretty new. It was not like maggots or anything. It was pretty new. I would have eaten it. It was just in the planter

and I was like, whoa! How big is the planter then? It's a big planter. It looks like a big planter with all the plants in it and Buckley keeps going back to the same planter

like it's a vending machine going. It was the best day of his life. Do you think the fox was trying to grow a new sheep maybe

just water that look at them in the night see a fox with a bottle of Evian water that move the plant into the sun keep thinking about it I hope no one's died near me that's a very macabre story

the fox is all over the gaff I was told that our cats are very fiercely territorial No one's died near me. That's a very macabre story, if you don't know what I'm saying. Yeah, well, the fox is all over the gaff, to be honest. Yeah, I thought, I mean, I was told that our cats are very fiercely territorial and they won't stand for any animal coming into their garden. Dog, size, whatever size. I mean, not that a dog would be in our garden

because there's no access to our garden apart from the house, but I've seen Hercules, the big ginger tank, one of the biggest, he's my cat and I love him dearly, he's one of the biggest cats of all time. He's fucking gigantic.

I think he's about nine kilos right I've seen him walk past a fox just like a nod foxes walk straight past him down the garden path

have a bit of respect your dogs can't even go out whenever they want so they can't stop a fox planting a lamb shank no it's alright yeah mine can do whatever they choose not to

anyway Yumbug Yumbug is so you said that you will stop eating meat that makes this even more interesting Mine could do whatever. They choose not to. Anyway, Yumbug. Yumbug. Yumbug. So you said that you will stop eating meat. That makes this even more interesting because this occupies the hinterland between probably vegetarianism.

A lot of people are vegetarian for ethical reasons, for environmental reasons, and not necessarily because it's an animal thing. And Yumbug does insects. Right, okay. So it's actually, I know that people have talked about insects in the past. I know that, you know, and Yumbug does insects right okay so it's actually I know that people have talked about

insects in the past I know that you know that fella who goes and does all those travel programs who looks like Cuddles the monkey from Orville the Duck

what's his name I don't know Simon Reeve he doesn't like cuddles from Orville he will go and visit somewhere

and they'll eat insects and he'll be like oh in China they always eat insects great this is the first doesn't he look like him Cuddles the monkey I can see yeah a little bit yeah and visit somewhere and they'll eat insects and they'll be like, oh, in China, they always eat insects. Great. Oh, yeah. This is the first. Doesn't he look like him? Cuddles the monkey.

I can see, yeah, a little bit, yeah. I can kind of see it. But Yumbug are doing proper, like, delivery, home delivery insects with, this is, by the way, we're not sponsored by Yumbug.

I don't know anything about them. They could be awful for an hour. They might be great. They're not paying us to be to say this. I just thought it was interesting. They send out portions of bugs with all the herbs and spices. They've got biodegradable

packaging, all that kind of stuff. They say that the great thing about insects is that they're a really great source of protein and you can put them into meals that you would have anyway. Their example, they say this on their website, is have some tacos, but put some crickets in there. Put some spiced crickets in there. Now, how do you feel about that in principle and in practice?

Because you are the type of person, I think, who would probably go out and see something in the supermarket and go, I'm going to have some of those. I wouldn't be against it. You're probably right, I think. It's just, I think if we knew more, because we've spoken about this before on the show, that prawns are a relative of woodlice, aren't they?

A similar sort of make-up and stuff. And if I saw woodlice, the last thing I would want to do is jam it in my mouth. But prawns, ooh, get them in my gob. So, as long as they're farmed properly and you had sort of guarantees of that, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't sort of get involved. And I'd certainly have a crack, and I've certainly eaten bugs before. I've eaten mealworms um

sort of eating mealworms just like crisps yeah yeah they're alright they're alright but they don't

but that's what I mean I'll wait until like walkers make the crisps you know what I mean like because they know what they're doing yeah and I sort of go with these I sort of go

yeah you're having a go but like I don't know whether this is as close to my palate as this could be. You know what I mean? You could get the aftertaste off. You could make it taste a little bit more like it's supposed to.

The first fruit in the wall gets the bloody nose. That's true. But Pete, also, on the old nutrient side of it, because it's been posited before, hasn't it, to be sustainable, really, people are going to have to get a lot of their protein from insects. What they never say is how many insects you need

to get the level of protein you would get from a burger for example. Yeah. Because a burger is a lot richer and a lot bigger. Someone says to me you can replace your protein intake

with insects. Right, how many insects do I need? Because if it's a fucking lorry load I haven't got all day. And I don't want to eat their wings. Is that what puts you off for me it's the head it's the head

pull them off the head's fine pull them off why is the head fine brains it's what I'm saying yeah that's the reason it's not fine

I'd be scared that like an ant might have one of those cephalopod oh yeah kind of like little mushroom things that scare you the fungus the fungus

it's not a cephalopod is it I don't know what it's called cephal something or other right it's like a fungus cephalus ant cephal not a cephalopod, is it? I don't know what it's called. Cephal-something or other. Right, it's like a fungus. Cephalus. Ant cephalus. My six-year-old niece is amazing. Always eating bugs.

Mate, we were at a dinner the other day, and my grandad, her great-grandad, ordered the whitebait. Have you ever had whitebait? Yeah. Little fish, right, with the heads and everything. Very underwhelming meal. I never understand it.

But my gran loves it, because back in the 40s, I think it was like a thing. Right, yeah. So he still likes it. He still won't have a medium steak because I think back in the day they couldn't guarantee

the safety of the meat so he just thinks everything's well done. Anyway, Betsy, my niece, she's piling through the whitebait. Heads, bones, everything. She loves it.

Unless you're kind of trained to sort of not like stuff. Yeah, I guess so. Maybe you unlearn it. Maybe you unlearn it. So for you, you don't want to be eating the wings? Yeah, pull him off first, please guess so. Maybe you unlearn it. Maybe you unlearn it. So for you, you don't want to be eating the wings?

Yeah, pull him off first, please. Okay. I don't know why. It just seems like that's the dirty bit. That's going in the air. That's getting cleaned

all the time. Anyway, bugs. Let us know at hellotlookandpeacher.com if you would be interested in eating bugs, if you've got a bug-eating story, if you have a bug-eating company

and would like to pay us money to sponsor. I don't know. hellotlookandpeacher.com After the break, we're going to get into some battery brands and we're going to do some emails that have already been sent in so stick around and we'll see you in a minute bugs not hugs 2021 was a year like no other in european football and 2022 promises to be even more eventful on the continent is your weekly guide to all the biggest stories across Europe. What was highlighted again in this game against Malmo was just how desperately that team needs something different up front. Alvaro Morata is not right now the number nine they need.

And I don't think White's coming either. We're joined by the best European football experts to get to the bottom of the stories at the top of your news feed. I think Real Madrid is a very logical place for him to go and if you want that to be an option, it's not a bad idea

to make Real Madrid think that you might go to Barcelona. From Holland's side of it, it's very beneficial that Barcelona are at least pretending they can afford him. Come join us every Thursday on Football Ramble Presents. Football Ramble Presents is a Stack production and part of the Acast Creative Network.

It's the Luke and Pete show, and of course, since it is Thursday the 13th of Japan, we are going to be doing battery brands more battery brands in the battery hall you do a couple I'll need a rest

I'll look them up Dan J says hi the Luke and the Pete so my 2022 got off to a poor start as my two kittens knocked over and broke my TV

oh dear god it must be a small telly they must have teamed up surely yeah it's a proper like Farage kitchen TV what was so depressing about that story it's just a very small television he was watching They must have teamed up, surely. It's a proper Farage kitchen TV.

What was so depressing about that story? It's just a very small television. He was watching the Queen's speech. He'd been banished to the kitchen and the television was like, I'm not having a go at his small telly, but it's just indicative of a man who doesn't care about art to have a 20-inch telly.

Maybe even a 15-inch telly in the kitchen and he's just drinking a pint of shit ale. He was drinking tea wasn't he in that one? No he was drinking a pint wasn't he? He's always drinking a pint

he doesn't drink anything other than pints. I like that that photo was a really unifying photo because everyone could find something different to be depressed about in it. Some people it's his trousers.

Some of them is splashback. Some people it's his off brand microwave. For you it was a small telly that's fine. Well hopefully Dan's Yerker get back on track splash back. Some people, this is off-brand microwave. Yeah. For you, it was a small telly. That's fine. Well, hopefully, Dan's Yerker

get back on track with his new batteries that came with his new TV. Super heavy duty, Nan Grand. I'm thinking, maybe, Luke, this isn't a new player

simply because Nan Grand seems pretty familiar to me. What's the name of the guy who sent it in? It's Dan Jay. Hi, Dan. Let's have a look. So, yeah, Nangrand, they've been in before.

Most recently, November of last year. So that's not a new player, I'm afraid. Never mind. Sorry, mate. Good luck with your next attempt. We've got a message from Kellen. Thank you, Kellen. It's Kellen from Bermuda.

Lovely part of the world. Does he say that? I'm saying that. I was going to say, we're supposed to say that, really, aren't we? My ex lives there. I know. I love her Instagram. Look, hard to address that one.

It was a sideways move, as I always say. It's fantastic. Her Instagram's great. I like her anyway. She's obviously, I know her. Yeah. I think that's the cutest baby I've ever seen as well. She looks genuinely very happy.

No, she's not with me. No, I didn't say that. Short-time listener. What do I mean? Kellen says, short-time listener, first-time email. I love the show. And ever since starting to listen to you guys, I've been paying more attention with me short time listener what do I mean Kellen says short time listener first time email I love the show and ever since

starting to listen to you guys I've been paying more attention to the many different kinds of batteries used around me

and everything so far has either come up on the pod or I can only imagine has come up since before around September when I started however this Christmas

my soon to be mother-in-law gifted me a portable milk frother nice stuff right that's one of those

things with a little kind of spiral on the end little spiral yeah yeah yeah I thought that'd take a watch battery no no god how much fault

is he going to get out of that triple A you reckon good god at worst triple A possible double A possible rechargeable lithium

I opened it up to check if I needed my own double A's and it was double A's right and lo and behold they came with two already in a brand I'd never heard of until then

they're called Aerolarte. Just like the name of the frother itself. And as soon as I thought it, I thought, finally, I might have a new player worth emailing in. Apologies if you've had it

on the show before. I've visited them all, but I haven't come across these yet. I think Aerolarte might be a new player. Yeah, I think it is. Yeah. In fact, it's never been

sent before. So before we get the celebrations underway, I hate to be the bearer of kind of controversial news I hate to froth the news yeah but how do we feel about this

because it's a branding it's a branding from the same product yeah and we have famously I think and it caused many ripples throughout the battery

fan community we refused to accept Pittsburgh Steelers batteries because they were just kind of branded up for marketing reasons okay I don't know

how comfortable I am with these batteries being the same as the electronic device itself have we sort of made our own bed on this one I suppose

or in a situation where we're going to deal with that no because I feel like if we went too far down this road you could just sharpie Pete Donnie's

new bat bats yeah I don't really I don't know if I can acknowledge it in my heart in my heart in my heart my heart hurts

over this could you sort of do you reckon you there's if I saw that I'd be like right Errol I.R. not producing their own batteries

it's clearly it's a rebadgeling you fool like Pittsburgh Steelers like Pittsburgh Steelers do you reckon they just they had batteries that already

had labels on them do you reckon if you peeled off the don all they had labels on them do you reckon if you peeled off the don't peel a battery peeled off the label you know like when you get a can of craft ale you know what you get

fucking a bit sanctimonious you know what the amount of batteries you must have peeled over the years I have yeah weird very weird you have wallpapers

with battery peeled next to me finished crispy pancakes boxes yeah do you reckon like because I get when I get a can of craft ale it's always like

a paper label on an aluminium can and I always sort of go right what's under that Budweiser but that's because I guess that's like a cost saving measure

I think what we should do is peel a lot of batteries see what's underneath there Kellen deserves our respect and deserves a bit of love a full and frank inquiry

I think we should get producer Rory to do a Twitter poll. And if the listening community decides it's acceptable we'll accept it next week and if not we won't. So Kellen, you're on notice you'll have to stick around and see what happens. Next. Jeremiah has got in touch.

Do you know what's better than Christmas presents? Christmas presents with batteries included. This year the little ones in my family both got some knock-off lightsabers, a space sod, and inside were some Zern, super heavy-duty batteries. Z-E-R-N-E. Right, I've got two things to say on this. Okay. One is that they are absolutely a brand-new player.

Hey! So congratulations, welcome in. Secondly, huge amount of respect. Secondly, huge amount of respect. Huge, huge amount of respect to a man, in this case, Jeremiah, who sent this email at 20 past five on Christmas fucking day. That is the commitment we're after from our listeners. 25 in the morning? 5.20 p.m.

Oh, 5.20 p.m. So you know what's happened? Everyone's having a nap after lunch. He's pissed. He's pissed. He is absolutely pissed.20pm so you know what's happened that's like everyone's having a nap after lunch he's pissed he is absolutely pissed doesn't matter still counts

he's been banished to the kitchen and all he's got is a space sword to keep him entertained what is a space sword like a lightsaber yeah

it's a knock off lightsaber space sword huh that did not warrant a huh like you've learnt some new news fucking it

what is this fucking space sword you'd be no good on Star Wars a fucking NPR podcast isn't that yeah Chewie

so you literally got an art brand lightsaber called a space sword hey Chewie turn on my sky car huh why do they always

end sentences by going I don't know anyway so look new player well done Christmas Day commitment again well done huh why do they always end sentences by going I don't know anyway so look new player well done Christmas Day commitment again well done

more of those next Thursday yes Kellen the jury's still out you'll get your you'll get your due diligence you'll get your fucking verdict next week yeah

emails hello at lucapeach.com before we go into them Andy McNeil's been in touch on Twitter I've put this in because he's bigging me up and defending me.

We had a debate, I think before Christmas, around fish chips and beans. Okay, yeah. You don't like it? I don't like it. I don't like to see it. I don't even want to know that it's happening, to be quite frank. I enjoy it. Andy says, Luke, full agreement that fish chips and beans is a thing.

The reason I like it is for this. In my parents' house, it's someone's job to put the beans on whilst another goes and collects it from the chipper. That is nice, because everyone's got a little job then. See, also, sausage chips and beans, or Scottish pie, chips and beans, and Andy is obviously Scottish. They are my people. I'm good with that.

Spiritually, I feel very well connected to Scotland. I'm on board, Andy. Thanks for your support. How do I make sauce? Is it just brown sauce and vinegar? What do you mean? You know that sauce stuff they use? Oh, up north?

Yeah. I don't know what it's made of. Edinburgh, sort of. I'm half of the mind to put this out there, that I think I remember when burger sauce, which is now a thing that you get in a squeezy bowl. And what's that, tomato sauce mixed with mayonnaise?

Yeah, I think back in the day, the kind of industrious and entrepreneurial, mostly Turkish kebab shop owners owners were just doing that and calling it burger sauce. Yes. And then someone's come along and said,

we'll have some of that and we'll commercialise it. I love that. Yeah, no, I agree. I think it is that. Yeah, I think it is that too. And it tastes good. It looks so weird.

And it tastes good? It does taste good. Huh. Huh. I made prawn cocktail for the starters at Christmas, the only successful part of the meal I helped cook

and hang on hang on you made prawn cocktail starters on Christmas day yeah in 2021 yeah

what's this a fucking Bernie Inn what are you doing what's this a fucking harvester for Christmas don't talk to me I didn't request it but I made it

does it taste good it tastes great the sauce the sauce is it Marie Rose it tastes great the sauce the sauce is it Marie Rose sauce they call it yeah seafood sauce

I mean everyone was getting very stressed out about what was going in it and I was like it's just it's just

yeah is it mayonnaise tomato sauce is it mayonnaise right bit of mustard bit of horseradish

bit of lemon juice in there as well yeah so basically Marie Rose sauce is someone who just went, I'm going to put all the sauces together. Well, I'll just put tomato sauce and mayonnaise,

the main bit, together sort of thing. I think there's nothing to it, really. I don't want to get so stressed out about it. Producer Roy, who is, of course, Scottish, who just dropped something in the running, will send chippy sauce. He can confirm it's brown sauce and vinegar. Yeah.

Why don't I make that? It's delicious. Brown sauce is quite vinegary anyway. Yeah. But it gives it that kind of beefy, like a beefy sarsen's... I'm going to have fish and chips tonight.

Oh shit, I'm veggie now. Damn it! I occasionally have to physically stop myself, like consciously stop myself

putting too much vinegar on fish and chips. Fish and chips are only good because vinegar exists. It's just, I just use it's a vehicle of vinegar

I love vinegar it's a Trojan horse your vinegar intake good god I love it I love rice wine vinegar I love sarsens I love balsamic

on strawberries and pepper oh yes please how's the how are the stomach complaints just thinking about vinegar

you're basically pouring acid regularly into your stomach do you ever sort of like when you just fancy a bit of

vinegar you just sort of put your lips to the sauce and just give it a little suck I'm thinking about when I'm salivating

oh god sorry about that I got a big you suck on the vinegar bottle from the cupboard like a little like a little bottle

because it is like a little child's bottle. Let me ask you a question. And to get it through the membrane, you've got to really suck on it. Let me ask you a question. Like Maggie. Let me ask you a question. Do you first check that Sarah's not there?

Yes. Okay, so therefore, should you be doing it? Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. Anyway, anyway, we've got to do an email. I promised NFT emails, even though I don't understand them. Do you want to do it? We've got to squeeze them in. Let's just do them next week.

All right, we'll do them on Monday. Fuck you, we'll do them on Monday. It's our show. It's fine, we'll do them on Monday because then we'll do an NFT special. And we'll sell our first NFT.
