The Luke and Pete Show - Can you sneeze on demand?

Episode Date: October 20, 2022

Luke loses the plot on today’s show as amazingly Pete manages to make himself sneeze on demand.  Elsewhere, we once again stick two feet into the knock-off Nintendo Wii homepage that is the Metaverse and receive a really enjoyable email about a man who unknowingly wore a quite incredible t-shirt. And no, for once that man wasn’t Donny.Do you have any hidden talents? Email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow Hosted on Acast.

It at the Luke and Pete show Running order It's the Luke and Pete show I'm Pete Donaldson I'm joined by Mr. Luke Moore And we're both looking at the same document

On Thursday the 25th October How are you Luke? Get the hell out of here Get the fuck out of town, mofo I love the idea that you used to describe a podcast recording as just two men looking at a document. Looking, just going through their documents. Because I hardly ever look at it.

It's like Trump up in the beak handing Woodward some documents about Kim Jong-un. Going, don't tell anyone. Don't tell anyone I gave you these. He also said at one point, didn't he, if I think about it and think about unclassifying it, it's unclassified. Yeah.

Very much how we ought to run things here, actually, isn't it? I think so. And it's very much how I maintained my girlfriend relationships when I was a child. I've got... Yeah, actually, I'm actually going out with that person now. So if I think it, we're going out, I think, in many ways. Is it fair to say some of that attitude

may perhaps have bled over into adulthood? No, God no. That's problematic post-18, isn't it? But you put all your efforts into your phone relationship with the young Gemma, if I remember. Right, now, hang on. Oh, right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you remember all these things?

I can't remember all these things. I didn't remember all of those things. Yeah, but because it's part of it, isn't it? Like, you have to... Don't spread it out. I think it's part of a kind of, you know, unwritten contract with the listener that we kind of at least know where we are and what we're doing.

I'm just asking you not to go on about it because that'll sound like I'm still keen over several podcasts. What seismic episode of Sliding Doors would that be? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, mate. You're in a very happy and loving relationship. You've moved on. You're in your 40s now. Don't worry. It doesn't matter, mate. You're in a very happy and loving relationship. You've moved on.

You're in your 40s now. Don't worry about it. Yes, I am. Terrible, isn't it? You don't know what's happened to young Gemma. I don't think this is going to be some kind of emotional reconciliation

via the Luke and Pete show. I just think it's nice to think if you sat on the stairs of your parents' house, the sea coal van smashed through the living room, you sat there in your little shorts, and you're flirting away.

That's a nice image for people to hear. Why have I got my little shorts on? I don't know, I just added that in there. You've got a little pair of shorts on. When I think of you as a kid, you've got glasses on, the same hair, but you've got a little pair of shorts on, a little T-shirt that says,

something like Volleyball Team 1984 or something. Basically, you're like a kid from Stranger Things. Yeah, okay. Fair dues. I think that's fair. Did you investigate

many mysteries as a kid in Hartlepool? No. As I've said on more than one occasion, I was accused of being the perpetrator of a lot of mysteries

but never solved many myself to be honest. Unless it was how to get into my dad's lockbox full of hardcore European strength pornography. Was it Continental Strength, was it? It was Continental Strength, yeah. It was pretty strong

stuff, to be honest. Where did he get it from? I don't know. I think it was his mate, Les. I think a lot of the tips had the word Les written on them. Oh my God. It could stand for something else. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess could stand for something else. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I suppose so, yeah.

Maybe he wanted... Maybe before he put that tape in the VHS player recorder, he just wanted to know what he was in for. Yeah, I think it's pretty... So you're talking about VHS videos and not magazines here? No, not magazines, no. No, you'd occasionally... And there weren't...

No, I don't think there was really many magazines kicking around. You'd occasionally see, like, a sexy calendar under a bed here or there, No, I don't think there were really many magazines kicking around. You'd occasionally see a sexy calendar under a bed here or there, but that was very much because dads at work would always have topless calendars on the wall. That was a thing. That was really a thing. Ladies, there was lots of pic... Every month there seemed to be a woman with boxing gloves. Men of the 80s really liked topless lasses

wearing boxing attire. That's a good, it's a really good observation. I can remember once going to... Sorry, this is a bit of a convoluted one. So every year, I used to go to a pantomime at Christmas organised by my granddad's work right right and i used to take a friend yeah and so my my family have all been always been traditionally very young my granddad is still very much with us i saw him at the weekend doing well um he's 90 now

and but i'm but our family's so young i think he was only about 49 when i was born and so when i was about 13 he would have only been in his early 60s. I think he was only about 49 when I was born. And so when I was about 13, he would have only been in his early 60s, of course, and he was still working. He was working, I told you, as a salesman. And he said, you know, obviously, we're allowed to take family along. So do you want to come?

And I was always allowed to take a friend. I think a bit later on, as I got a bit older, I took my sister along. She's almost over five years younger than me. And so, but there's one particular time. Basically basically what happened is you go to a certain point you get on a coach and um they take you to this panther mall i think it was in salampton um and um but there's one particular time i had to go to his office first and he shared this office with one other guy and when we went in there um he was like i'll'll just sit outside. I was like, all right.

Well, I can't come in. So I just sat outside. I sat outside. Because I was obviously a quite inquisitive young chap. And you know me. I'm always asking questions. Mystery solver. Say again?

Mystery solver. Mystery solver mysteries. Interferer. I basically just, I guess I just ignored him and went into the room. And the office was very much demarcated between his side and the other guy's side. And he was basically, because we'd have to wait in this office for half an hour, he was basically taking down all the topless photos of women in calendars and putting them in his colleague's desk drawer so I wouldn't see them. Yeah.

And I thought, of course, it's quite your thing to do, really. Yeah, I guess so and he's a very he was my granddad is a very kind of like thoughtful quiet proper ghost i've never heard him say a swear word i've never heard him like then once i went bowling with him once ten pin bowling and there's a bunch of lads on the other lane and they'd had like a couple of swear words in their usernames because you know you put your own name in the bowling. And he went over there and said, can you change that because my grandson's here and he's only 12 and it's not acceptable.

Oh, lovely stuff. And they all did it. He's very straight-laced like that. Even though he's been in wars and he's obviously been up to all sorts of scrapes. And basically, he was an agent of corruption in our hometown by giving away bread for free and getting cinema tickets in return. He was a very proper old-fashioned type. And quite i just think it's quite interesting that that he

would do that i guess because he didn't want his 13 year old grandson to see a pair of tits to see a pair of tits fantastic yeah i guess you're uh i guess you would but where would they stand on um uh behind the uh bottles of gin and vodka and whiskey in the pub. The lady, the peanuts ladies, the packets of peanuts that will be on a piece of card. So I don't remember. I know that's a thing. So those listening who aren't from the UK or perhaps too young to remember this. There used to be a thing where they did packets of peanuts on a cardboard board behind the bar.

And they would be there so you could see them, so you would buy them. And every time someone bought a packet of peanuts, it would be like the endgame in catchphrase, where another thing would come off and reveal another part of the image. And the image was, of course, a naked lady, because pubs are male spaces only. I don't remember that ever being a thing when I was young. So I used to go to pubs every weekend with my parents, but I don't remember that ever ever been a thing when i was young so i used to go to pubs every weekend with my parents but i don't remember that being a thing i remember the peanuts being there but i don't know if the pubs that we went to maybe had that brand i think that my mom probably wouldn't be that happy about that okay i yeah i i would yeah i think that um

yeah i'll never hand i was in a pub surrounded by cigarette smoke. I saw quite a few examples of that when I was growing up. In the Navy Club. In the Navy Club. The club you could only go to if you'd been in the Navy. Yeah. At any point. My dad was one of the few dads to not be in the armed forces. Right.

So obviously in Portsmouth it was everywhere. So I did go to these kind of places, but I only guessed of friends' dads or whatever. But I would also say this. Speaking of pubs that we went to when we were kids, they used to be amazing. And anyone who's from the area might even know it. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, slightly north in Hampshire from where we grew up.

There was this pub kind of restaurant called The Hunters, right? Right. And it's exactly as you imagine, like an old converted coach house from the 17th century or whatever. And it had been converted into this kind of restaurant. And it was independent and it was all right. It wasn't terrible, but basically like a harvester, right? But an independent one.

And we used to go there quite a lot because it had a big garden for the kids and it used to be a nice place to go on the weekend. Anyway, it was run by this Italian guy called Tony. I don't know if he's still with us. I mean, if he's not, then God rest him, because he was a character. And his elderly mother, who would have been in her 90s then and was still serving behind the bar, and she was, like, comically slow.

And this Tony guy was this really fiery Italian guy. He didn't have an Italian accent, but he was quite clearly Italian in sensibility and in his look and all the rest of it. And he used to actively and consistently insult his customers to their face over and over again. Now, where it becomes interesting is,

obviously, my granddad supplied his restaurant, so he was really nice to us. And whenever we'd talk to my granny, he'd be like, oh, Les, great to see you, and all the rest of it. He's called Les, my granddad, actually, by the way, not connected to your dad's thing,

I wouldn't have thought. Could we discount it? Can't rule it out at this stage. Can't rule it out. Anyway, one of my earliest memories, right, is having dinner around

one of these tables in the Hunters, this big family kind of restaurant, pub, and there'd probably be about, there'd certainly be six or seven of us there. On the table next to us

was quite an unruly family, right? And when this Tony guy was bringing out the food so he brought out the main courses he would take away the starters i have a vivid memory of him on his hands and knees under their table picking up the food that the kids had thrown on the floor and just screaming at them animals animals you're all animals i'm gonna get your main courses now but you're animals i just just think that was totally normal.

Service was very different back then. Yeah. Very honest. No mucking around. It was like the sort of thing you'd see on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares times 100. That's good stuff. So that's the pub that we used to frequent,

but it had really big, really dangerous swinging boats in the pub. Do you know those swinging boats? Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. You could pull yourself, effectively. Yeah, you got one end each. But if you were walking behind one of them, you'd probably get brained.

Well, don't do it. I mean, yeah. You shouldn't do it. I guess it is sort of heavy machinery that could, yeah, it could give you a big old bonk on the noggin, couldn't it? Anyway, Pete, after that trip down memory lane, I just got something that really took my eye this week. There's this new TV series out on Netflix,

a new Netflix series called The Watcher. Have you heard of it? Yes, I have. I am, no spoilers please, I am five episodes in. Oh, you are? Is it good? Yeah, really good, yeah. Okay, cool, so I probably will watch it. One of the leads is the bloke who always plays

the Italian-American characters in stuff like Boardwalk Empire. Bobby Cannavale. Yeah. And my partner said, after all of nothing, he looks like Barack Obama. I was like, fuck, yeah, he does. He does look like Barack Obama. He does really look like Barack Obama.

Yeah. Okay. So I might start watching it. Anyway, the reason it caught my eye is you've obviously got Naomi Watson in it as well, who's one of my all-time crushes. Do people still say crush? Probably not. I don't know, yeah.

Well, weirdly, we were watching the film... Is it 21 Grams? Yes, it's brilliant. We watched that film, and then the very next day we started watching the show and we didn't realise Naomi Watson was in it. So I saw 21 Grams when I was away travelling. It's in 2003.

It's got Sean Penn and Benny Del Toro in it, and it's in a Retier movie, right? It's brilliant.. It's got Sean Penn and Benny Del Toro in it and it's an Iñárritu movie, right? It's brilliant. Anyway, The Watcher is this Netflix series and I haven't seen any of it. I've only seen the synopsis and the trailer

which makes it look great. But it really reminded me of your experiences. So a family moves into a new home only to be plagued by ominous letters and sinister threats. And I thought to myself, this is exactly what happened to Donny with his dogs barking in that ominous, anonymous letter he received

from one of his neighbours. Well, in the show, when a letter is found, it's always voiced by a faceless person. And they talk like this. Is it scary? Yeah, so as soon as... We did not have similarities ourselves, to be honest, and I did sort of go,

your dogs are barking. If you didn't know, it's turning us to distraction. That voice you're doing there is actually frightening me a bit anyway. Thank you. Yeah. So it's worth watching, is it? Yeah, it's worth a watch.

It's a bit of fun. It kind of keeps... The problem with horror, it's spread across... certainly unsettling psychodrama set across seven episodes. It always starts to get a bit silly and this has managed to maintain

a lack of silliness, I think, throughout. So, you know, apart from slightly comedic characters such as, is it Jennifer something or other, who played Stifler's mum in American Pie? Oh, Jennifer Coolidge. Jennifer Coolidge and a couple of other people. You know, the silliness hasn't been ramped up and it's not got supernatural, which is a real tick in the box of, will I continue watching this? So as soon as something goes supernatural

you're not having it? As soon as there's any fucking UFOs or proper silly stuff. Something that couldn't be explained away. I'm just like, oh bugger off. Like an alien. If an alien appears I'm like, oh bugger off. But how do you feel about approaching a film

that you know is about that from the start? I think that's fine as long as that's on the box. Okay, so you want almost like a parental guidance certificate. I enjoyed the film Nope more than most, to be honest. And a lot of people didn't enjoy that.

As long as I know. I thought it was probably the weakest of his movies but I still liked it. It wasn't Candyman rubbish. Oh, I haven't seen that. I thought he was probably the weakest of his movies, but I still liked it. It wasn't Candyman rubbish. It wasn't like... Oh, I haven't seen that. Yeah. I thought he's only done three. He's only directed three, hasn't he?

I thought he'd only directed... Three in a series, I think, wasn't it? I don't know. I think he's only directed... I thought he'd only directed Get Out, Us and Nope, right? There's a wonderful clip of... It's Jordan Peele, isn't it? It is, yeah.

You love Kee and Peele, don't you love keon peel so funny so funny uh john john uh john peel no yes john peel he uh him uh being interviewed in the metaverse i don't know what metaverses is i think it's meta as in um you know facebook's uh approximation of it um someone's created i think the the the house uh that is the central focus of the film at nope yeah and uh in the metaverse and he uh visits it in the metaverse with a virtual reality helmet on and it looks so pedestrian yeah and these people have spent ages making this um building from scratch to make it look and feel like the film nope and he is you know he's savvy he knows what's out there he knows what's good and what's bad and to i think to

because he's being paid to do it fundamentally and also um these people have spent these punters have spent ages building this uh this house in the metaverse for him to enjoy um he's been really polite about it but it looks like a piece of shit luke it really does it's awful so you shared something with me the other day which was some report that said after several billion dollars or whatever there was currently 38 active uses users of the metaverse yeah it's good it's good and not even spent so much money on it presumably that means not even the staff on it can be bothered to work to use it i mean i mean that that was the that was how we knew about it because a um you know a director of the company

said can you stop can you use the metaverse please because if you're not using it no one's going to use it this might this might be a basic question but i think it's something that's probably shared by a lot of people listening to this, is that what is the main motivation for them actually doing it? I think if I was going to suggest a motive that Mark Zuckerberg was a little bit blindsided and left behind by the smartphone revolution.

So they never released a smartphone. They were left behind on all kinds of spheres of modern life since Facebook launched. And I think it's just a bit of a panicked grab. But the problem is the user base of Facebook is only getting older, I think. And the user base of facebook is only getting older um i think and the user base of vr is only getting younger so to make a shitty metaverse that no one wants to fucking go into i understand why they're doing it but i just think it's it's it's it's trailing behind even technology like second

life that's been around for 20 20 odd years it's it's yeah it's a bizarre thing to throw so much money into um and it's very heartening that it's failing well i agree with that last sentiment because i i i think that facebook are awful and you know maybe they just decided that you know endless videos of ben shapiro and dan bongino bongino and um you know family photos of a dead relative is really not um the future but to me it looks it only i think i said this before it really just looks like the main menu on the nintendo wii it does and you know it the thing about vr tech tech is is that it um the games and experiences need to be simpler because the refresh rates have to be a lot higher. Your eyes, the screens are so much closer to your eyes and to reduce sickness and screen door effects

and all that stuff, you need a higher refresh rate. So therefore you need more powerful machines. So therefore you need simpler geometry. So therefore the experiences have to be stylized rather than photorealistic. So they do look like a piece of shit because the technology has to be of a certain level

to push that many polygons around. So it's never going to look like a video game. It's never going to look like an Unreal Engine, you know, GTX 3080 experience. But in summary, that's kind of how it's going to look for a very, very, very long time. But if these VR headsets don't become a hit,

then the future experience is no one's going to invest in making better ones, I think. So, yeah. And for those of you who are very familiar with the Luke and Pete Show constitution, the fact that Pete has now mentioned the word refresh rates means that we simply must go to a break under Luke and Pete Show law when we come back. Because it's a Thursday we will of course be tackling your battery brands not metaverse batteries real batteries

you can touch them you can feel them you can make them fizz on your tongue see you in a minute welcome back to our virtual reality powered nightmare world that is the Luke and Pete show

I'm Pete Donaldson and I'm joined by Luke Moore and every single Thursday we talk about all things batteries. There's a man on iTunes reviews. We released a new show called Sports On a few weeks ago. So I'll have a look at the reviews. There's one man, and it will be a man,

who just doesn't, who basically reviews all of our shows. Yeah, it's a mad thing, isn't it? Badly, right? Which is funny. So he basically every time a show comes out he will put a one star review saying

this is a stacked show therefore it's shit yeah on every show it's like it's like absolutely clockwork I've only seen one man do it

but it made me laugh because it was it was like he he reviewed the trailer as if it was the real show and it's like this is rubbish

and it's like well you haven't listened to the show so don't worry you know these things you don't worry about. But it just made me laugh that... Luke talks about batteries for 10 minutes on every show. It's like, imagine if that was the case, that you talked about batteries for 10 minutes

on every single show you ever do. We could do that. I've got it in my locker. I know. Now we have. We've got it in our big battery... What's it called? The big battery box or whatever you ever do. We could do that. I've got it in my locker. I know. Now we have. We've got it in our big battery. What's it called? The big battery box or whatever you call it.

Yeah. Didn't someone send us one? Oh, yeah. We've got to do that. We'll grab that for Monday's show. Big battery box. We've got a battery box. One of our listeners sent us.

And I'd love to be able to open it live on the show. Yeah. I'm going to pop every last one up my bum. Right. Look at you. I don't think it comes with batteries. It's just a holder. No, it'll come with batteries. Battery brands. Right. Look at this. I don't think it comes with batteries. It's just a holder. No, it'll come with batteries.

Battery brands. Hello, Luke and Pete. This is from Unky Ben. Thanks, Unky Ben. From Utah, USA, with another battery attempt. I went and changed the batteries in my touchless garbage can. I got one of them. God, they munch heavy-duty batteries, don't they?

Wow, 1.5 volties. Why do they use so much power? I don't know. I think it's kind of lifting a more uh you know 17 times a day i understand it um after a year of opening uh and closing the garbage can lid these batteries as their name indicates were called simply done well simply done d-sized batteries earn me a second new player i certainly hope so says unky ben unky ben i'm gonna stick my neck out and say this is a new player.

Can you confirm or deny, Luke? So first of all, it's a brilliantly named battery. I think we can all agree on that. They come in various sizes. And the reason I know this, sadly, Unky Ben, is because we've had them before. What a shame. So our friend Andrew sent in some AAA Simply Duns back in 2021. I think they're also a, he's also an American man.

So maybe they're kind of more prevalent there. I think he sent his, from what I can make out, from Central Florida, where his unky Ben's in Utah, sending a D-size battery, which I personally always love to see, by the way. It's great to see it. You don't really see D-sized batteries that much over here, I don't feel like.

But they are, unfortunately, just the second time it's been sent in, not the first. So back in November 2021, Andrew Ingram sent them in. So a great rare find, but not a new player, I'm afraid, Anki Ben. Sorry, darlings. Sorry. Hello to, who have we got here? Chris.

Hello, Chris. Hey, guys. I found this in an old leveller tool not sure if new but why not take a punt love the show

and it's EXC Alkaline EXC huh so I think they are new players I'm going to officially

term them new players I can't find anything in the inbox that with EXC Alkaline on it. The only thing I would say is that when it's a set of letters like that, it's actually on the Google search quite difficult to search because

EXC is exclusive and extreme. Not extreme, it doesn't make sense. But there are words with EXC in them so it's harder to search. But I have done a very diligent search or as diligent as I can and I can't find any other EXCs. So I'm going to say for now, Chris, congratulations to you that's a new player yeah sex cell uh that would be if we had a battery called sex that would also come up in a exe search hello to scott in dubai found a pair

of happy cells in my new perfectly legal TV box I love the inference very enjoyable happy cells are also new players thank you very much for that Scott although I do not and nor does Luke and Peter

endorse any illegal activity particularly not in that part of the world go careful look after yourself I don't care Pete doesn't care Pete doesn't care

the main thing is it's a new player so that's two out of three we've got two new players this week congratulations to those guys Scott and Chris

but also congratulations to everyone for being a part of this amazing battery seeking community yes please yes please Luke do you want to

toss off the back end of this show with a couple of emails yeah why not? Yeah? I'm going to do a sneeze, so can you find an email? Yeah. Well, not for muting yourself.

There's one. There's two. There's a third one. I'm not going to feel. I'm just going to enjoy it. I am going to enjoy it. It's a frankly very, very weird sight. Why have I never noticed how weirdly you sneeze before?

What do you mean? Your whole face contorts into a very kind of painful shape. Have you ever, like, do you, have you done a sneeze in the last three or four years? I sneeze about 15 times a day. And thought, that's that's weird uh and thought that you uh your sneeze sounded exactly like your dad's sneeze because that's what's happened to me no i think it's difficult to know what you sound like when you sneeze i think it's like almost like your um your own voice yourself you can't tickle yourself yeah it's a bit like

that i'd have to hear your sneeze after you i imagine your dad's sneezes are considerably more gruff than yours no it's honestly i did a sneeze in the car last night and i was like because that's what i get up to good drive down to uh notable dogging site uh two tree island uh nearly on sea and what were you doing down there i just just to do my best sneezes um that's good seven times and then you've got your money shot. But I sound exactly... Hang on, let me... I'm going to tickle the inside of my nose. Oh, don't do that.

I'm going to give you the proper... This is exactly... How my dad stares. I lost it. That's not coming back, is it? This is absolutely bizarre. Hang on. What have I got?

You can't do it because of the pressure. Because you're alive on air, you can't do it. I know. Yes, very good. That's exactly how my dad sneezes. If you've ever known Stewie Donaldson, that's exactly how he sneezes. We need to get Stewie up on there. Somehow, can we get Stewie on there to compare them?

I don't know how I get Stewie's sneeze recorded. I've never seen someone do that before. The way you did that, for those listening who can't see you, it was almost like you had a button up your nose, and you pushed it and sneezed. A little reset switch, yeah. It was so like you had a button up your nose and you pushed it and sneezed. A little reset switch, yeah. It was so surprising to me. Yeah.

Well, you just scratch the, what do you call it, the soft space between your nose. The filter, not the filter. What's the thing that everyone loses when they have cocaine problems? You shouldn't be doing it. You should not be doing it. Just give you a little septum, a little tickle

and you have a little sneeze, sneeze. Right, emails. Jack French on that delicate note. I like this email. I read it earlier. Very, very enjoyable. Fellas, after your chat around Pete's recent American road trip, I wanted to share a story of my own recent adventure stateside.

The wife I have access to and I travelled to the States for our honeymoon last month. Congratulations to you, Jack, and to the new Mrs. French. Imagine a honeymoon! What do you mean? Moon Jack, and to the new Mrs. French. Imagine a honeymoon! What do you mean? Moon covered in honey! Wasps, bees everywhere! Fucking hell!

Wild! Carry on! No, but will do. For a trip that took us from Dallas to Memphis, New Orleans, Panama City Beach, Orlando, and finally Miami.

That is a hell of a trip, actually. That's a long old way. Hell of a drive, yeah. It was in Memphis, and the queue for the bus that takes you to Graceland, which I shit you not, takes you from one side of the road to the other. They absolutely love a short bus in the US.

A short bus trip in the US. You know what? The only thing that rivals how short the bus trips can be in the US is when you fly out of some kind of godforsaken airport in the UK, and they haven't got the stall next to where you are, so you have to get on a bus to the plane,

and sometimes it's literally 20 metres. Anyway, and Jack says, this is where one of the bizarrest interactions of my life took place. So Jack is in Graceland in Tennessee, and he says, in Memphis, he says, whilst in said queue, I spotted a guy wearing a T-shirt depicting guerrilla leader

Che Guevara in his famous beret. Quite a common T-shirt. You would have seen it. A very marketable image, of course. However, as the guy came closer, says Jack, I was shocked to see that it wasn't Guevara on the tee, but instead featured another 20th century icon mocked up to look like Che Guevara.

That person? Barry Chuckle. Gary Glitter. Barry Chuckle. Barry Chuckle. There's a photo involved as well. Look at the photo. As a huge fan of Chuckle vision

and to a lesser extent Argentinian Marxist revolutionary theory, I decided to approach the guy to congratulate him on such a brilliant novelty shirt. To my surprise, the gentleman in question was American. Half laughing, I said, man, that's a fantastic shirt, I love it. Stony face and somewhat taken aback, he replied, mm, thanks.

From his dumbfounded reaction, I can only conclude that he had absolutely no idea this was a novelty shirt, and in fact was under the impression that the suave man who spearheaded the Cuban Revolution actually looked like a happy chappy from Rotherham. All the best, Jack. Look, you've got communism and capitalism

to me, to you. I mean, you're going back and forth. It's that struggle. It's that advocacy for a classless system that you're just constantly struggling between the two models. If nothing else sums it up. So in many ways, you can really describe

the communist struggle as well by one man standing with a plank of wood that's far too heavy for him to balance over his shoulder and swinging it around trying to find where the other man is who's constantly getting hit in the back of the head with it.

Yeah. Let loose the triple hands of war. I would say, in many ways. Move over, Chris Morris. There's your satire right there. There's your satire I would say in many ways move over Chris Morris there's your satire right there there's your satire

I think that's the only way to end this show today Peter I think look the image of a man who has no idea that he's walking around with you know

it would be like it would be like me wearing like a Leigh Varber and reading Rainbow T-shirt but not knowing who that person was

you know what I mean and sort of go, why are you wearing this? Like, this isn't Che Guevara. I mean, I don't know who that is. Okay.

Well, he's the bloke who had, didn't he have like laser eyes in, no, he was blind. Completely different thing. Oh,

Jordan LaForge in Star Trek. Yes, I believe that was the case. Yeah, okay, I didn't know that was the actor's name. Okay, right,

fair enough, that makes sense. I think, I've seen, and I only know what Reading Rainbow is. It's like a kids TV show to help you read or whatever and it That makes sense. I think I've seen, and I only know what Reading Rainbows, it's like a kid's TV show to help you read or whatever.

And it would go, do-do-do-do. And I only remember it because there was, somebody did an animation on newgrounds.com back in the day where I used to spend

all of my time making little flash videos and flash animations and stuff on there. And he, and someone made an animation, a set of animations about Sloth

from the Goonies just coming on the set of Reading Rainbow and ruining everything and it really made me laugh and it was probably quite offensive back then

so there we go that is kind of quite a strange story to end on Peter it is but we always do we always do we do

we'll see you on Monday we hope you have a lovely weekend I mean it's getting towards the end of October now be Halloween soon take your vitamins

drink your cider vinegar look at yourself I'm taking a month to drink your cider vinegar I'm saying are you still doing that by the way no because I

emptied the bottle and just didn't re-up it same thing with my soda stream really I'm not soda streaming at the moment because the soda stream

canisters canisters are over in Southend so I've got to go over to Sainsbury's stream really. I'm not soda streaming at the moment because the soda stream canisters are over in Southend so I've got to go over to Sainsbury's. Can you tell I'm all blocked up now because I've been scratching the inside of my nose. Idiot. I'm also hugely surprised to hear that you've got into something quite faddish and inexplicably just moved on without turning me on.

True that. True that. That's how it goes. We will be back on Monday as we approach the end of October and move into the proper depths of autumn with the promise of winter to come. So look out for that. Have a lovely weekend, whatever you get up to.

Really hope you enjoy yourself. I'll be off to my niece's seventh birthday party on Saturday. Oh. You're going to dress as Charlie Chalk, the clown? I'm not going to dress as a clown. No, I'll probably just dress as myself

could be mistaken for a clown could you be controlled at doing a forward roll yeah we could at this age I'm not sure to be honest

the problem I have is the knees that's the knees if it's not to do with the knees I'll be fine but the knees is tough

remember when we saw a video the other day of some professional athlete running and stopping suddenly on a downslope and you were like, fucking hell, that makes my toes curl because it makes my teeth itch

because of the pressure on the knees. For me, it's squatting. If I see someone squatting, it makes my knees almost like atrophy. It's the being of the tall man. That's the situation, isn't it? Destined to spend my 60s stooped over and with non-working knees.

That's how it goes. That is how it goes. And a downstairs bathroom. You need a downstairs bathroom. Yeah with non-working knees. That's how it goes. That is how it goes. And a downstairs bathroom. You need a downstairs bathroom. Yeah, I do, actually. That's very, very true. Although all my rooms are on the same floor because I live in a flat. So all good.

Anyway, off we go on that delicate note. Thank you very much for listening. See you next time and have a great weekend. Bye, everyone. Peace.
