It's the Luke and Pete show, baby!
Sweet beans!
Sweet beans! It's Thursday, I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Mr. Luke Moore,
and I tell you what, I've just turned off my Wi-Fi connection, I'm on Ethernet.
I'm going to treat myself to some full fat fibre broadband.
That's how you get the sweetest beans.
That's how you get the sweetest beans.
It's the main line to the bean mountain.
Don't dilute the beans.
Don't dilute the beans.
First and foremost, a little bit of a admin point.
Don't always admin.
I want to say this now because I don't want people to be confused.
Right.
Because we're such busy, young, thrusting executives.
B-Y-T-E.
Bite.
We're Bite.
We're Bite.
Busy, young, thrusting executives.
Yeah.
And that's the show title.
Thank you, Rory.
I want people to know that we...
You can tell we've had a holiday.
We pre-recorded quite a lot of EPS.
Yeah.
And so this is the first time we've seen each other for a while.
Yeah.
Because our schedules... Basically, our wives made us go wives might have gone holiday yeah we had to go yeah
we went separately yeah we haven't seen each other for ages so we're picking it back up again now so
there may be even more old man repetition than there has been in the past yeah for which we
apologize but at the very least you might find it comforting yes exactly, exactly. I mean, what's happened since we went on holiday?
A war.
A war.
Yeah.
War in Europe.
Ooh, the budget.
Actually, we probably shouldn't call it a war.
We should call it a...
An invasion.
An invasion.
Yes.
Of which one half
is defending themselves.
Yeah.
I don't think we should
legitimise it by calling it a war.
But anyway, carry on.
Correct, yeah.
And yeah, a lot of stuff
has happened really, I guess.
Yeah.
Jackass, the new movie,
came out. Johnny Knoxville
was in here with Jack
he was yeah
I saw that
lovely
yeah
lovely lad
do you know what
Johnny Knoxville
so because we make
loads of different
types of shows here
obviously we do it
for the majority
in the same studio
Jack's Happy Hour
is done in the same
studio as this
and there's a
I'm telling this
to the listeners
I know you know this
yeah
so don't look confused
thanks mate I'm in you built the listeners. I know you know this. Yeah. Don't look confused. Thanks, mate.
I'm in.
You built the studio.
I did put the cameras in.
But to get into our building, guys,
you have to go for a little canteen.
Yes.
And the girl who works in the canteen,
Terry, lovely, mad as a nail, but lovely.
And she might have been mentioned on this show in the past.
Is she a Reiki healer?
I want to say she's an all-out carper.
Oh, she did the best ever... Ayahuasca in the desert. The best ever How Was Your Weekend with want to say she didn't know all that caper. Oh, she did the best ever.
Ayahuasca in the desert.
The best ever
how was your weekend
with Terry
was when I went in there
to get a coffee or tea
in the morning or whatever.
How's your weekend, Terry?
One Monday morning.
And she's very, very cockney.
She's like,
oh yeah, it's lovely, thanks.
Yeah.
How was yours?
I said, yeah, it was fine.
I said, what did you get up to?
She went,
I went to go and see
a Mexican shaman.
I was like, oh, did you?
What was that like?
Yeah, good.
Yeah, so anyway. But she never gets fazed by the famous people that come in because i think she's just quite used to it yeah and um and all sorts of
billionaires you know and she actually for the first time ever she's never done it for anyone
else yeah the first time ever she pulled me to one side late last week and said yeah did you
have that johnny knoxville in I love him he's gorgeous
gorgeous
that's not
yeah
because he kind of
he was like the gorgeous one
out of the troupe
there was the
little guy
there was the
guy who'll do anything
there was the skateboarding guy
just for those who don't know
who Jack Hasse is
they all have actual names
this is Pete Shorthand
I can't remember anything
one of them was called
T-Bag
Bam Majera
Steve-O
Steve-O
Julian Knoxville
Preston Lacey
was one of them
Preston Lacey was the big guy
yeah
who's the guy
dying the car crash
beard
Ryan
someone
yeah
so
they all had kind of
different roles
but he was kind of
the sexy one
but he would still
hurt himself
wouldn't he
what I like about Knoxville
is you're absolutely right
he was the most handsome
but he also had no skills
so he had to just
do the bravest shit
like Steve-O was mad
but Knoxville had no
skills at all
so he couldn't skate
or anything like that
so he had to just do
the I'm going to fight
a bear
he was kind of
the sexy front man
I kind of understand
why he kind of
floated to the top
effect
anyway Knoxville's been in
he looks very nice
he looks great
he's aged very, very well.
But we missed all that
because we've been on holidays separately.
Now, I know,
I don't want to come across as tone deaf
because I know it's been difficult
for a lot of people out there,
but we booked holidays ages ago.
I was staying with my family.
You booked yours a long time ago.
I hadn't had a holiday for a while.
So I don't think it's unfair for us
to talk about our respective holidays.
Well, lots of things happens on the holidays.
And to be honest,
you can either have
what I did at the weekend at the car, you can either have what I did at the
weekend at the car boot
or you can have
what I did at the
weekend at the car boot
in St Lucia.
That's a long way
to go for a car boot.
Oh, by the way,
my friend Adam,
who is one of the
guys behind the
offensive,
another stack show,
Adam Joel,
he loves a car boot
and he loves wrestling.
Yes, please.
So he was at a car boot
the day before,
no, he was at a car boot yesterday and before, no, he was at a car boot
yesterday
and he's got about,
he basically goes and buys
wrestling figures
at car boot sales
because the people
don't know what they've got
and then he sells them.
Ah, okay.
And one of the interesting
stories that came out
of his car boot,
he was...
Did he buy 50 pounds worth
and put it in a carrier bag
and a hedge?
He's not as eccentric
as you, mate.
He's more mainstream.
He knows the value of them,
doesn't he?
He's also one of the four seasons
in the Frankie Valli musical
touring the country at the moment.
Very talented man.
What?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
He's a professional singer.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
What?
Yeah.
How does he find time to do a podcast
that's that complicated?
I know how we find time to do this shit.
He also comes across as quite a lazy man
and spends a lot of time walking his dogs.
I don't know how he does it.
Anyway, so he tells me a great story
about a car boot.
Sorry to cut in on your holiday chat.
We will do your holiday.
But the car boot,
check this out.
He's at a car boot
with a friend of his
a few weeks ago.
And the friend of his,
who I think he works with,
she goes and buys
a load of
boxes of clothes.
Someone's moving house
or someone's sadly passed away
and they've cleared a house out.
And he gets this box of clothes
and he starts just taking them off.
She gets,
sorry, it was a woman,
she gets all these clothes out
and she starts marking them up
and puts them on eBay.
She sells them all
for a couple of quid or whatever.
And there's this kimono,
this Japanese kimono, right?
She puts it up on eBay.
It's quite a nice one.
She puts it up on eBay
for like 25 quid or whatever
as a starting price.
By that night,
it's up to like 300,
400, 500 pounds.
Whoa.
She's like,
what have I got here?
Right?
Next day,
it's going for 2,000,
3,000.
So she starts to go
and do a bit of research,
takes it off the listing.
Anyway,
cut a long story short,
it's like a hundred year old
authentic,
amazing condition
Japanese kimono
and it's going to go
to auction in Paris
and the starting price is like 20 grand.
Jesus Christ!
You almost think that the...
I mean... That baby is
sweet beans. That's about the sweetest...
I think that's the dream for any car bootist.
I think it is. I think that's what they're going for.
Yeah, but I think
that surely, if you
saw that someone at the car boot, right,
you don't have a receipt, you don't have any proof that you actually bought it,
I just worry that the car boot list is going to come back and go,
Oi, I need a slice of that sweet bean pie from the auction house.
Yeah, they would probably be within their rights to request some kind of divvying up of some of the beans.
Yeah, because they'd be like, well, I didn't know what I had and I think you've tricked me.
I know it's bullshit.
I would worry
and that's why I'm not successful in life.
That's the thing, isn't it?
Because if you go to a house,
and some people will probably do this,
you go to a house
and you go,
and they've got like a garage sale or something,
they're selling a painting
and you have a bit more noise than them
and it doesn't even need to be
a multi-million pound
lost masterpiece or whatever
it could just be worth
a few grand
and you go
I'll give you 200 quid for that
is that dishonest you think
is that naughty
yeah it is
I think it is
what should you do
don't do anything
at any point
don't try and win at life
ever
if you knew it was worth
five grand
you would give them
4,800
I would yeah
I'm watching a lot of, when we were on holiday,
we watched quite a lot of the TV show American Pickers.
Have you seen that?
Yeah, maybe like that.
Just two lads going through generational bonds.
Yeah.
And sort of finding, but the thing that gets me is,
I think they over-pay for all of the stuff to make themselves look better.
Do you know what I mean?
They don't bargain much. overpay for all of the stuff to make themselves look better. Do you know what I mean?
They don't bargain much.
They go,
I'll give you $120 for that.
And it's just a piece of shit.
Sorry, mate.
You went on holiday to a beautiful place
with your life partner.
Yeah.
And I asked you to talk about it
and you spent all your time
watching American Pickers.
We did spend all our time
watching American Pickers.
It's a good show.
It's one of those ones
where I always
used to do voiceovers
for on D-Max
but I never watched
it and now I watched
it now on my
holiday
you thought now
this is the time
to be watching it
it's quite good
but then they'll
go into like
barns and this
guy will be
collecting all
petrol pumps
and petrol signs
you know that
Americana kind of
66 bollock
so these guys
will go through
that and I understand
that there's a market
value for that
but when they're in
somebody's fucking
loft in a barn
grabbing a
train
a toy train
that's like the size
of like a little
kind of go-kart
that some random
bloke in
1890
just made out of
an old chicken coop
and they go people are gonna
love this yeah and i'm like there's no market value for that it's just some dude it's not like
a great example of like a hornby or something like that yeah it's not home it's it's somebody
just made it and it looked terrible and it just had little casters on on the wheels and stuff
they bought it but you never find out what they sell it for i don't think they said i think that
stuff i sort of go well i'm not gonna sell it for. I don't think they sell, I think that stuff
is sort of go,
well,
I'm not going to sell it,
but I'll actually
rent some of the other stuff.
It's just a show
of like hoarding stuff.
Yeah,
exactly.
I think it's absolute bullshit.
But even if I was
the director of that show,
even I would just put
a little graphic at the end
saying,
they sold this
for a load of money.
Yes,
they don't do it though.
They just sort of,
they fuck off with their stuff
and we never see
that we've ever made
any kind of profit.
Did you find some time
in between watching American Pickers to experience the country you were made any kind of profit. Did you find some time in between watching
American Pickers
to experience the country
you were visiting?
Here and there.
Did you drink any rum?
I didn't drink a lot of rum.
I'm wearing a piton
beer t-shirt
that I bought at the airport.
It also says
so that's the local beer
available where you were
and that says
Mystic Mountain Brew
as well.
It's a Mystic Mountain Brew.
Which is great.
One of the great pleasures
of going on holiday
is finding what the local lager is. Yeah. Because it's always lager. And it's a mystic mountain brew which is great one of the great pleasures of going on holiday is finding what the local
lager is
yeah
and because it's always lager
and it's always the same
yeah but it's great
because in my mind
I can think
oh when you go to Greece
it's mythos
yeah
you know
when you go to like
Portugal
or whatever
it's Sagres
or whatever it's called
yeah yeah yeah
when you go to
when you go apparently there
it's Piton
that's a weird name for it
it's yeah
it's the mountains isn't it
the two mountains that sit in the middle of the island.
Look, St. Lucia, beautiful.
We did loads of stuff.
I read my three books of the year.
And I read three by Richard Lloyd Parry.
He wrote the book, The People Who Eat Darkness,
you know,
about the British, British Airways staff member.
And I think she,
she worked in a,
like a snack bar.
She was like a,
like a,
like a,
she would chat to,
to,
to Japanese men.
Is Parry the,
the,
is the Tokyo correspondent for the Times?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she got murdered
20 years ago or whatever
or 10 years ago
so I read that one, then I read the one about
the Tohoku earthquake
and then I read
one about the fall of Sahara in
Indonesia
Psychologically, you are determined
to not allow yourself to enjoy this holiday
You're reading books
about horrible things
murder
and earthquake
and the rest of the time
you're watching telly
with the curtains closed
the book about the earthquake
is just mostly
about an entire school
that had died
in the tsunami
but
cannibalism
in Borneo
and East Timor
I thought you couldn't
get any more
and the trouble
in East Timor that book fascinated me couldn't get any more. And the trouble in East Timor.
That book fascinated me because democracy is quite difficult
when people are eating each other, isn't it?
It's hard to sort of go, guys, come and register to vote.
Stop eating each other's hearts for a bit
and let's just fucking do some voting.
That's your starting point, isn't it?
That's probably where you start.
Yeah.
We're going to need to stop eating each other.
Put that energy to work in democracy.
It's quite difficult, isn't it?
Boris Johnson comes in.
It's very similar to how people fight for Britain.
It's not Boris.
Not now.
Not now.
We don't need that now.
So, is it the first time you visited that part of the world?
I didn't realise that Cuba was counted as a Caribbean island.
Because, obviously, it is.
Marcus and you informed me as we came to think.
Well, it's in the Caribbean Sea.
I think it's technically part of the Caribbean.
Yeah, okay.
So it turns out I had been to the Caribbean before.
Right, okay.
It didn't count as such.
But, yeah, it was lovely.
It was beautifully warm and beautifully rainy.
It would, like, rain for, like, three seconds.
Yeah, it does that
I was in
I was in
mad
mad
you're not mad
it just
it just
um
yeah
the rain's warm
so you actually
don't give a shit
a lot of salt fish
a lot of plantain
a lot of mystery fruits
I've never seen before
I'm gonna have to research
to find out what I have
a lot of tamarins
this taxi driver
just gave me a bottle
of tamarind juice
he'd made
it was
I was farting
for about three days
afterwards
to be quite frank
what do you reckon that was
probably I don't know
well just tamarinds
probably I just don't eat
a lot of tamarinds in my life
it's funny because
tamarind is also a monkey
and I think people
regularly will be thinking
hang on a minute
he's gone into the
bushmeat tread
you love them
you love monkeys
I do love monkeys
but yeah it was
it was really good
yeah a lot of saltfish.
I also speak on behalf of the people
who know where you went
and when you went away.
I need to ask you the question
that I think a lot of people will want to ask.
Based on the social media information
that was available to us of your trip
and the place you went
and the name of it,
was it a swingers retreat?
I mean, you could be...
I won't disavow you of that opinion
because it got a bit...
We went out on a boat trip
and we were in like a nice little complex,
nice little hotel-y thing,
a little boutique-y hotel,
but it was a bit sandals.
It was a bit like...
What is sandals?
Is sandals the swing at one?
No, hedonism, I believe.
But do they look the same or something?
I think it's just all people just getting their ox off, innit?
I'm not against it.
I'm not judging it.
I'm just asking about information.
I'm not against it.
No, it felt a little bit like that, but it wasn't swingery.
It was mainly men from Essex just drinking at a swim-up bar, really.
But it was a nice place.
They didn't let me go
to the restaurant in bare feet
they made that very clear
right
said sir
you need to put shoes on
I was like
well that's embarrassing
I want to spend as much time
as possible when I'm on holiday
not wearing shoes
I love not wearing shoes
I had to go and get me
big clumpy
because I didn't have shoes
let me make it very clear
because they fell
off the side of a boat
it was the worst thing ever
because
no you're littering as i i had two sandals the
normal amount for a two two-legged uh man a bipedal bipedal about bipedal bipedal bipedal
um yeah a normal amount for me on a good day uh and and and so i'm basically it was this um boat
trip and it was very formal you know
go to a waterfall
get yourself covered
in some fucking mud
go for a snorkel
like a proper organised trip
proper organised trip
from like you know
8 in the morning
to 5 in the afternoon
don't normally like
that kind of thing
but they did have beers
and they did have punch
and it got to about
3 o'clock
2 hours before the end
and it all got a bit
fucking messy
it all got a bit
18 to 20 it all got a bit Torremolinos it all got a bit fucking messy it all got a bit 18 to 20
it all got a bit
Torremolinos
it all got a bit
let's play some fucking
UB40
did you try to drive the boat
I did not
try to drive the boat
and your saddle fell off the side
because you kept
turning around in circles
really quickly
I was pretty shitted
by then to be fair
but there was this
big guy
from
Shenfield
who was an accountant
and he looked just like
Ray Winston
it was hilarious
he's basically hanging around
people who were
in the same party
exactly
not even that
the town that my
partner grew up in
it's insane
so I've got this book
and I go to the bar
for some beers
and I come back
and he goes
Pete you won't believe this
your shoe
nearly flew off the boat
I'll protect it you know
I've got them
I've got them
and I went
oh cheers man that's very kind and I was pissed and I'll got him I'll got him and I went oh cheers man
that's very kind
and I was pissed
and I was like
but I mean if we're being
completely sensible about things
it was actually a sandal
that almost fell off
and then my sandal fell off
the boat
so not only
I was being pedantic
about what footwear
I owned
and then one of them
just fell off the side
of the boat
what percentage of you
panicked and wanted to
dive in after it
did it cross your mind
I looked back and I thought
imagine like a little
little turtle
with my sandal around its neck
oh
that was the best thing
about the fucking thing
I've been doing a lot of
paddle boarding
I can't do it
they just allow you
to just take them out
and they don't tell you not to
isn't it a lot harder
than it looks
yeah it's a lot harder
to stand up isn't it
I couldn't stand up for one second.
I tried to do it as well, I couldn't do it.
I was alright, I was alright.
Because you see them up and down the Lyon Sea, up and down
the Thames and stuff. But it looks really easy.
Yeah, it's not, is it?
Because of waves,
because of wind. It's quite difficult
I think, yeah. I managed, I was alright.
Well, mine's chiefly because of weight.
But carry on. That's more ballast to hang out on the board. No, because. I was all right. Well, mine's chiefly because of weight. But carry on.
That's more ballast to hang out on the board.
No, because my weight's up here.
I see.
Top heavy, right.
But yeah, I'm sort of...
You saw a turtle?
So Sarah had seen loads of turtles,
or a couple of turtles,
sort of bobbing around.
And I'd seen a couple of heads popping up
and then disappearing
and then popping up.
And I was going,
oh, I just read about that Italian man
who got chomped by a shark.
I don't like this
is that my shoe
is that my shoe
come on
my homing shoe
so I'm on this paddle board
and I didn't have my glasses on
oh no
because I didn't want to lose them
but now I'm on my paddle board
and I was like
oh my god
oh my god it's a turtle
he's swimming next to me
oh
I sort of kneeled down
on the paddle board
and I was like
hello mate
how are you
it was a pear
it was a fucking pear
I was talking to her
for ages Luke
it was so embarrassing
how small did you
expect it to be
I thought it was
a shrunken little head
of a turtle
but it was a fucking pear
I've not seen a pear
for all week
like all two weeks
I didn't see a single pear
it wasn't pear season
where's it come from
I know
where's it come from
do you know that pear's had
no
it's just as interesting
as a turtle's
but yeah
so the boat trip
got quite 18 to 20s
and everyone got
absolutely wankered
I don't think it's
18 to 20s mate
it's a very
sorry
it's a very small
you're not going to get
any customers there
are they
you're not getting
any fucking money
how old are you
no
but you had a nice time
yeah I had a lovely nice time
got a bit of sunburn
it was very resorty
and so I had to
kind of force myself
I'm going for a walk
I'm going to the bank
so I'm just walking up
this highway
on the side
where people have just
thrown out
cash machines
that they've robbed
they've just thrown out
just like two or three cash machines.
You didn't put your card in one, did you?
That would be just like me, wouldn't it?
What were the flights like?
Oh, yeah.
Here's the one.
I bought tickets to Tokyo two years ago.
Still not being able to use them,
so I had to get a voucher sort of thing.
They were good flights.
They were punchy. I thought, you know, I'm going to take Sarah out. I'm going to do a businesser sort of thing they were good flights they were punchy
I thought you know
I'm going to take Sarah out
I'm going to do a business class
I'm going to do it
all the bells and whistles
so I had a voucher
which meant
I was like right
well I've got a voucher
business officers in Tokyo
they are not cheap
so this will allow me
to get you know
at least premium economy
to a beach resort
wow business to Tokyo
is going to be a bomb mate
it was a bomb
but it was in the
previous days I'm not even looking at that section when I'm looking on bomb mate it was a bomb but it was in the previous days
I'm not even looking
at that section
when I'm looking
on Brinkville
it was in the
previous days though
it was in the
previous days
now flights are
super expensive
and if you want to
go somewhere like
St Lucia
oh my god
I thought they were
cheap because no
one's travelling now
nah
super expensive
but I didn't
I've only ever been
to cities before
and so it's just
a business trip
is cheaper
than a resort
those kind of you know
those kind of flights to to nice places effectively without cobwebs and and knives
um and we uh and so i was like right so i'll bash that all this fucking i'll pay all i'll i'll put
all my amrs and the voucher from two years ago onto business class flights out to st lucia and
back right couldn't afford business class flights out out and back could get business class flights out to St. Lucia and back, right? Couldn't afford business class flights out and back.
Could get business class on the way out.
Okay, fine.
We'll do a coach on the way back, right?
So business class on the way out, absolutely lovely,
as you can imagine, right?
On the way back, didn't have a ticket.
Got to the airport, didn't have a ticket.
You didn't buy one.
I bought one, but something fucking happened.
I literally had an app,
the British Airways app was saying,
your next flight is tomorrow.
Go and fucking check in.
I went, check in.
Oh, you can't check in.
I'll do it at the airport.
Do it at the airport.
You don't have a ticket to say.
I was like,
I do, though.
I have a ticket, though, don't I?
Why does this always happen to you?
She went,
can I see,
like, can I see your,
like, how did you get here?
It's like she was,
she was,
the thing about, the reputation of the caribbean uh nations are quite laid back quite kind of like you don't need that
in an airport you haven't got a ticket there's an hour hour before hour before you fucking fly
yeah and it was like literally like i don't we don't have a ticket to get home what did you do
then well you're here now so what happened but i had to spend fucking 800 quid each for a bloody
another ticket which is
I don't think I'll get back
well why are you going to get it back
why would you get it back
because they should have
I booked
because I booked tickets before
right
I can't figure it out Luke
and it's such a long time
since I booked them
yeah
I almost can't be arsed
was there any kind of meltdown
between you and the partner
you have access to
no we did
we would not have been
no I did a hilarious joke
because you had to wear a mask.
Nobody could really hear you anywhere
and certainly not with my accent.
At the end of it all,
after literally about an hour and a half
of a woman ringing up the executive club thing
and then ringing up British Airways London
and then ringing all of these numbers
on mobile phones
and then the mobile phones cutting out,
and then having to run to a landline.
And it was just really Keystone Cop stuff.
It really was a mess, right?
Were you getting stressed?
Yes, but nobody would know.
It was bubbling under the surface.
Did you say to her, listen, I thought I saw a turtle,
and it was a fucking pear.
I come at my wit's end.
What is this, the Tempkin village of an airport
apparently there's not
even any wildlife
on this island
it's all fruit
the only thing I've seen
is a fucking bird
trying to eat
all my salt packets
off my breakfast bear
bar
and so she finally
gets the ticket
I finally spend a lot
of money on fucking
new tickets
and at the end
I go
you know what
the mist has cleared
we can continue our journey home yeah you're relieved I'm relieved And at the end I go, you know what? The mister's cleared.
We can continue our journey home.
Yeah.
You're relieved.
I'm relieved.
My partner's half relieved and half annoyed at me.
Yeah.
But I try and do a little joke, Luke.
Okay. And I went, bearing in mind it's half an hour before,
half an hour, 45 minutes before the flight leaves.
I said, now, let's speak about my vegan meal.
That's a good joke.
Good joke, good joke.
But in my mask, all she heard was,
can I have a free upgrade?
Oh my God.
I'm like, she went, you want a free upgrade?
I was like, no, that's not what I said.
Is there a free upgrade?
But no, there wasn't a free upgrade available
or a vegan meal.
Was it a night flight?
Yeah. Three hours. Three hours sleep. Yeah, I didn't get any when I came back. upgraded but no there wasn't a free upgrade available or a vegan meal was it a night flight yeah three hours
three hours sleep
yeah that's
I didn't get any
when I came back
rubbish innit
we'll talk about my
holiday on Monday
because otherwise
we're going to be
well over time
but so in summary
American Pickers
lost shoes
turtle you thought
pair that you thought
was a turtle
didn't buy
a ticket home
which I mean
I do have sympathy for you.
If I didn't know you, I'd have more sympathy
for you. But that is basic stuff.
I think basic admin
with trips and stuff, that's
always my fault anyway. I've never failed anyone
on that count. This feels like
a really
glib question to be asking you.
Did you have a nice time?
I did have a nice time.
Good.
That's the main thing.
Let's have a break.
When we come back,
we'll do some batteries and we've got a very special email
coming up as well
with a little treat included.
Don't go anywhere.
We'll be back just after this.
Oh, Graham Linehan
crying on the telly.
It's the...
Look at the picture!
I found that weird.
Did you?
Yeah.
I found it funny.
No, I just found it weird that... What I was looking at. But anyway, we ain't got time for that now. Did you? Yeah. I find it funny. No, I just find it weird that...
What I was looking at.
But anyway, we ain't got time for that now.
What am I looking at?
We ain't got time for that.
We've got batteries, though.
You big guys have been sending those batteries in,
posting them through our email holes like you wouldn't believe.
We've been doing batteries now for so long
that people are probably thinking,
what's this about?
Can we really still be finding new ones?
Well, stay tuned.
You're about to find out.
Yeah.
Ian has got in touch
and he's one of those
Ians with an extra eye
in there
and I for one
find that very charming.
Do you like that?
I think the people
who have the extra eye
tend to be more annoying.
I think they've been
crafted by the dark
a little bit.
They're constantly
trying to
I'm going to be
called Ian
which you think is a simple name and then I i'm gonna fuck with you when you see it written
down hi gents found a chameleon battery in a dive computer haven't come across it before
potentially a new player it's chameleon with c-a-m-e-l-i-o-n clever name because you think
of the animal a chameleon but it's actually a combination of camel and lion yes um that's as
good as it gets for ian i'm afraid because he is the seventh person to send this in.
The first time we received notice of a chameleon battery
was actually in January of 2018.
Can you believe that?
Over four years ago.
Sorry, Ian.
Thanks for your big effort.
Sorry for slagging off your name.
You're not a new player.
Chameleon girl, Tony Potter.
Morning, guys.
Image attached to my entry as a new player in the battery game.
Survival Frog Rechargeable
Batteries. Is this also the
first USB rechargeable battery
you've had on the show? It isn't the first USB
rechargeable battery, but I do enjoy
looking at them. They're fascinating creatures.
Yeah, I love the fact that there's a battery
called Survival
Frog. So
for those who don't know a usb battery you flip what
would be seen as the top of the battery over and there's a usb connector in there pete does that
does that i know you like them but does that still count for you yeah i think you've however you
recharge them as long as they're air sized as long as they fit the iso standard for air i think we're
or whatever whatever general battery is yeah you'd not get get a USB and a AAA, would you? Too small.
Too small, yes. Mini USB-C, maybe.
Mini USB-C, maybe.
Whether we see those in the future.
Anyway, Tony, my good news for you is that you are indeed a brand new player.
So those naysayers who say you can't really be finding new battery brands
after four and a half years, we are, and we've just found one there.
Congratulations to you, Tony.
I am a naysayer, though, I'm afraid, because Tony did send in a picture from Amazon.
We can't be accepting that.
There's no proof that you've got them, Tony.
But he has found them.
He's discovered them.
You've got to have them.
You can't just go on Amazon and search for them.
You've got to have them in your hands, Tony.
You get that on next day delivery
and get back to us on Thursday, all right?
Okay, you're pending.
You're in battery purgatory.
You're in battery purgatory.
Until you show us you've been holding them in your hand.
It looks like they're only £11,
so maybe it depends how much you want it.
Maybe invest in the thing you love.
£11 is quite a lot for a battery, isn't it?
Rechargeable, aren't it?
True, actually, yeah.
It's an investment.
Agent's got in touch with an AA-sized battery.
Do the look, the Pete.
I have here a pair of Universal Electronics
alkaline AA batteries
found in my Foxtel voice-activated remote.
Hello.
I myself have never seen this brand,
but let's see how many of my fellow listeners have seen them.
New player?
Three question marks?
Yeah, we've had...
Adrian!
If I can just get this away.
We've had 20.
You're the 20th example of Universal Electronics, my friend.
And by the way, not that you necessarily care about this, but you spelt it wrong. you're the 20th example of universal electronics my friend and
by the way
not that you
necessarily care about this
but you spelt it wrong
in your email
so it took me ages
to get it up in the search
so
you're not
you're not a new player
I'm afraid
you are the 20th person
no less to send in
universal electronics
I'll tell you some other people
who've sent them in
James Robson sent them in
back in 2018
my second cousin Alan Gray sent them in back in 2018. My second cousin,
Alan Gray,
sent them in back in 2018.
Dean Chu,
the astonishingly named
Dean Chu,
sent them in last year.
So I'm afraid not.
It's a big effort.
Thanks for getting in touch,
but you are not,
I'm afraid,
a new player.
Oh, dear lord.
Yeah, so thank you very much
for everyone who got in touch
this week
for the battery brands.
We'll be back next Thursday with more of that.
Get them in, though.
Hello at LukeandPeteShort.com.
Luke, we've got an email here.
Yep.
And it's not even for the Luke and Pete Show, really.
Right.
I don't think.
It's from Jenny.
Jenny Tresson.
And she needs a little bit of Honda jazz advice.
Well, hang on.
Wait there.
Okay.
Two seconds. All right. One, hang on. Wait there. Okay. Two seconds.
All right.
One, two.
He's pulling back the curtain.
He's opening the, he shouted the word Vish.
Oh!
Who's here?
Is it Vish?
Is Vish here?
It's like a zoo radio format.
Time people.
Carry on with the email.
Before Chris Tarrant gets here.
Hello, Vish.
Hello.
What's Jonathan Ross doing outside?
Hello, Luke and Pete.
I remember from a past episode that you mentioned having access to a man who drives a Honda Jazz.
Vish.
Vish.
I think Vish is like Rishi Sunak and he doesn't actually own a Honda Jazz.
He borrowed it from a man from Sainsbury's.
He likes to be seen filling them up
in a forecourt
let's get this
sorted right away
I am taller than
Rishi Sunak
you finally found
someone you're taller
than
is Rishi Sunak tiny
I don't know
a tiny billionaire
he's small
oh is he
that's adorable
that's not even a real
kid that's a
playmobil car
it's great because
by the time this
episode comes out
people won't even
remember the
rishi sunak
could he fit inside
his own little
suitcase
we've only got
fish for a little
bit
all right okay
fine my boyfriend
himself a honda
jazz driver is
adamant that
whenever jazz
drivers pass each
other they do a
little jazz hands
wave in recognition
i was quite taken
with this and
attempted it a few
times to the
passenger seat only
to be met with confusion and
sadness. This leads me to believe my boyfriend
might have made up the whole thing,
but perhaps you could ask Vish for his insight.
Vish, do you do
the famous and celebrated
jazz hands for the
Honda Jazz driver? Not only is it
not a thing, but that's a wonderful wind-up
to play on your partner that I might take
home with me, actually. Yeah, you should. I think you could possibly start it, or start the fact that it's not a thing, but pretend it is a thing, but that's a wonderful wind-up to play on your partner that I might take home with me, actually. Yeah, you should.
I think you could possibly start it, or start
the fact that it's not a thing, but pretend it is a thing.
Say you heard it in a newsletter, on the
Jazz newsletter. I think the only
problem is here, we're all labouring under the, let's be fair,
illusion that Vish would ever be brave enough to play
a trick on his wife.
No, but it's,
I mean, I quite like that.
I do feel like sometimes there's a bit
of kinship when
not quite when you
wear clothes
because when you wear clothes
there's a bit of an
embarrassment there isn't there
oh if you wear the same clothes
yeah yeah yeah
but you know
every now and again
maybe to yourself
you'll be like
oh that's my car
you know someone else
driving a similar car
yeah
that's a new level
I believe there always
there certainly used to be
a little community
with motorbike riders
who would nod at each other.
Right.
They'd go past each other.
So they would just nod.
What, just any motorbike?
Yeah, they would.
So Yamaha guys would be nodding away to Harley drivers?
In late 1990s gospel, motorbike riders were nodding at each other.
And I'd love to hear from people who could back me up on that.
Right.
Well, you know about the ethnic nod, don't you?
If I was walking past someone who was South Asian
or specifically Sri Lankan,
we'd give each other a look.
Do you really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Okay, yeah.
If it does kick off,
we can band together here.
Yeah, right.
That's not a nod.
I've got nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
I've got no nods to give.
I hope the Publians
did the same, didn't they?
That's the way we walk. I've got loose heads. to give I hope the pubians did the same didn't they this is the way we walk got loose heads
not enough calcium
in the bones
no teeth
no teeth
that would make it
more airy in the head
because there's no teeth
it would
I'm not sure what problem
that's solved
more air in the head
more air in the head
would it be fair to say
that the normal
the stereotypical
Honda Jazz driver
you don't want elderly people
taking their hands
off the wheel
at any point do you I'm not that old I'm 36 yeah but other Honda Jazz driver, you don't want elderly people taking their hands off the wheel at any point, do you?
I'm not that old.
I'm 36.
Yeah, but other Honda Jazz drivers are.
That's the point.
Are they old?
Isn't that the kind of thing?
Honda Jazz drivers are...
It's a car of the elderly person.
Bish.
You're driving a Honda Jazz, mate.
Come on.
You're practically Prince Philip
upside down in a lay bike.
Be real. come on.
What?
You admit that.
The only concept I have regarding the Honda Jazz
is one of the first times we met, Vish,
you said you drove a Honda Jazz.
Luke found that hilarious for some reason
and then you expressed the opinion
that older people drive Honda Jazz.
I don't feel like I need to qualify
why I found that hilarious.
All I'm saying is, if you're driving
on the motorway and you see a guy,
someone driving by in a Rolls Royce, it's going to be
an old white guy. It's just going to
be an old white guy. It's like a Ferrari.
Very rarely, unless you're in Mayfair and you see
the super rich, wealthy oligarchs
or whatever. Ultimately, if you're driving
down a provincial motorway and you see a Ferrari,
it's going to be an old white guy.
If you see someone driving a Honda Jazz, it's going to be an old white guy if you see someone driving a Honda Jazz
it's going to be an old
white person
who hasn't done quite as well
who hasn't done very well
in their career
so
you are very much
an anomalous
contributor to the Honda Jazz
environment
so that's good
because Fish is starting
his jazz life
early
so by the time he gets
to an old man
he'll have a new Honda Jazz
he'll have a new Honda Jazz
will you promise us I know you've got to go will old man, he'll have a new Honda Jazz. Will you promise us,
I know you've got to go,
will you promise us that you will start the Honda Jazz jazz hands tradition for Jenny?
Yes.
Yeah,
I might as well.
I might as well.
I need something to do.
Try it out and come back and tell us how you got on.
It's automatic as well.
So you don't need to pay as much attention.
Well,
you've got plenty of opportunity then.
Yeah.
Great stuff.
You've got an automatic Honda Jazz.
You're making it even more boring to drive.
It's like Top Gear, isn't it?
Yeah, it is a little bit, yeah.
You're a hamster.
Even more boring to drive.
He looks like James May now.
In the Laguna.
My left...
I beat up a homeless man.
My left light has stopped working.
How do I fix that then, lads?
Car drivers.
You can just do the...
You know you can do the signal with your hands.
Just do the...
Pass your hand signal, yeah. Vish, thank you very much for joining us. No, thank you for having me. Seriously, I need to know how to fix a Fiat 500. car drivers you can just do you know you can do the signal with your hands just do the signal yeah
Vish thank you very much
for joining us
no thank you for listening
I need to know how to
fix a Fiat 500
little individual email
dual logic light
well let's not get started
on the Fiat 500
thanks Vish
bye bye
say goodbye
see you later mate
bye everyone
bye to the listeners
see you mate
good luck Jenny
good to see you
alright well
