The Luke and Pete Show - Chasing dads

Episode Date: November 4, 2021

It’s Thursday, it’s The Luke and Pete show and we have more stories about being chased by dads thanks to an email from listener Carl. However, before we get round to that Luke and Pete try to settle the big debate - If something comes out of your bum, is it poop?Our excellent battery form also continues as we welcome a few new players to the game. Get in touch: [e-mail] Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

it's the look of peach show it's thursday the 4th of november and my name is pete donaldson i'm joined once again by lukey murr luke uh we ended the show i'm gonna say poorly uh last time out um what we got from this week the great thing is we've lowered expectations. People love this show because they just think it's like listening to two idiots. Yeah. When they say that,

it kind of, to the uninitiated, it feels like, oh, you know what? But it takes a lot of hard work to sound that cash. Yeah. But it doesn't really.

Doesn't now, no yeah you've hit the nail on the head there's no there's no kind of hidden depth it's not like an iceberg show no oh yeah but the top bit like the top 10 they just seem like idiots but actually there's 90 of stuff going on and they work really hard all week at it nah no when i was putting the emails together for this for monday's show on this show uh i was eating my third slice of pizza at 9am on a Monday. I mean, that's not great, is it? I mean, if I'm getting grease all over my laptop and selecting suitable emails

about sons of oppressive regimes tools... We actually got an email from Idi Amin's grandson. Stop this! Stop this. Why are you still doing the Monday morning breakfast is whatever fast foods left over from the weekend regime now that you're living in domestic and suburban bliss? Surely you should have moved beyond that. Well, no, because the difference between myself and my partner is she's more than happy to throw food in the bin. Me, I am. I made, I had loads of Pringles left over from the Halloween party.

Put them on the chicken for the roast. You can't eat them with the elbow scissor hands on. That's why I had so many. That's why you had pizza. There's crumbs all over the floor. Yeah, I put it all over the chicken and she said it was okay. And I quote, okay, and that's good for me. That is a good rating for my terrible cooking, I tell you what.

But did you slice the pizza with your scissor hands? I didn't slice the pizza with my scissor hands. I did even, what I usually do is make like a French toast where I cover the pizza slices in egg and fry them and that's always a real treat. Put syrup and stuff on them. Oh, beautiful. Didn't have any syrup though, so just ate them straight.

I mean, it is repeating on me, I must admit. It is repeating on me. Speaking of Edward Scissorhands and Johnny Depp, who by the way, I mean, I don't on me, I must admit. It is repeating on me. Speaking of Edward Scissorhands and Johnny Depp, who, by the way, I don't want to fall down the trap of commenting on other people's appearance too much because I think that's quite low, particularly given that you and I are broken shells of men. But Johnny Depp does look odd now.

What do you mean? He just looks odd now? He just looks odd. He's a man in his 50s, presumably. I'm certainly cracking on there. But you know what? You're right, and that's fair enough. But look at me, right? I'm 41.

My story has been a story of gradual decline. Yes. So people don't really notice. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. With him, he's put it off and put it off and put it off. And now he's kind of ripped the aesthetic plaster of his life off. And what's underneath is poor.

Well, do you not think it's just his sort of gimmick has been fresh-faced up until about 29, and then he went, I'm a dirty old rocker. Now he's like... And no-one in the last 10 years of his... Well, the last 15 years of his life went, don't do that. You look like a dirty old rocker.

You look like a plaster. Imagine if he had that in his aftershave advert, just cut from the desert to him looking in the camera. I'm a dirty old rocker. I'm a right dirty old rocker. You want to smell like me. Anyway. What's that smell?

It's me. Smell like me. Yeah. Johnny Depp. Oh, listen to my feet sticking to the floor anyway speaking of Johnny Depp

and Edward Scissorhands did you see you know Brian Cox you know who plays fuck off yes in Succession he's got a book out

and it's always listen it's never usually interesting when someone famous has a book out we know that especially when they put the books out

especially when they put the books out around about the time there's a second series of a popular TV show that they're in. I always think Cash Grab. Third series. Third series. And the lead up to Christmas.

Yes, indeed. Absolutely right. But it is of note when, I mean, I don't know what the age cut off probably is, but I'm going to say 70. When someone famous gets to about 70, they stop giving a shit about anyone else. Because they think, I've made my dough. I'm going to say 70. When someone famous gets to about 70, they stop giving a shit about anyone else. Because they think, I've made my dough.

I'm fine now. It doesn't really matter if I never work again. Whatever. And they become really honest, right? And Brian Cox, a.k.a. Logan Roy in succession, he's done loads of other stuff as well. Look it up. He's written a really scathing book about um his life and the

people he encountered in hollywood and he has he has shared some um lots of websites sorry i've shared some amazing quotes from that book right um and it will sell really well just because he's he just he's just frank and honest about everyone and on johnny depp he says the following personal although I'm sure Johnny Depp is he is so overblown and so overrated I mean Edward Scissorhands let's face it if you come on to screen with hands like that and a pale scarred face makeup

you don't really have to do anything and he didn't and subsequently he's done even less I mean to be fair Edward Scissorhands is very much it was like johnny scissorhands johnny says oh johnny johnny silverhands he was in uh that was uh the other one the other bloke who looks a bit like him in the video game cyberpunk um no like johnny uh silverhands he his scissorhands he uh that's that was his breakout role wasn't it pretty much after

like benny and june and stuff like that it't like... Like, that was the start of his career. Like, he would have got better in 20 years, wouldn't he? I mean, I suppose he's been in good films. I mean, he's been in, like, Donnie Brasco. Obviously, he's a capable actor. I'm not suggesting that... It's just funny that Brian Cox doesn't like him. And I also like that he turned up to, I think it was the premiere of the third season of Succession

with a mask that did actually say fuck off on it. Lovely, lovely stuff. With him, though, I just think that I'm... Like, I watched Succession, you know, the first two seasons. I've not picked back up because Sarah's not seen it, so I don't really watch a lot of stuff without her. But I'm almost sort of in a situation where I don't think he's lot of stuff without her, but I'm almost sort of in a situation where I don't think he's had any career, him,

and Brian Cox, and people are just telling me that he's this legendary actor. I can't remember seeing him in anything before Succession. I think someone's playing a trick on me. Do you know what? It's funny you say that.

I don't agree with you, because what you're basically saying is, well, I haven't seen him in anything, so he can't have done anything. Correct. Which is a solipsistic way of looking at it, to say the least. But, I mean, whether we like it or not, I mean, he has consistently been acting at the very top level since 1971, according to his IMDb page.

So he's done a bit, you know, and he's got a whole Wikipedia page just about his awards. So he has done a bit, you know, and he's got a whole Wikipedia page just about his awards. So he has done some stuff, mate. But what is he, though? Why is he not everywhere? He was in that film where it was like, not Agatha Christie, it was like Cluedo, wasn't it?

There was that film that was about Cluedo, and that was after Succession Series 2. What's his big kind of roles? What was his big kind of characters, I suppose? He's in the Bourne films, isn't he? Exactly. I mean, the fact that you're even saying he's in the Bourne films, isn't he? What did he do before Blum in Succession?

Everyone's saying that he's this epic actor. I don't understand why you are casting me as the guy who should be the expert on this. I don't know. You're telling me that I've got a myopic kind of like image of the actor

because I've never seen him in anything but I have never seen him in anything. It's like me saying oh I don't really listen to much music so what's Mick Jagger

done? It doesn't make any sense. Yeah but he's not a Mick Jagger level. He's not as notorious as Mick Jagger is he? You're talking about the man he is he? You're talking about... What level is he?

The man, he is... He is the drummer from the Arctic Monkeys. He's kind of like, he's that kind of level. I'm like, oh, I've never seen him in anything. I've never seen him in anything else. So why is everyone telling me that he's this legendary actor? I've never seen him in anything else. Who else is...

Do you know what? That's weird that happened because... I know what you mean. Who else is, who else is, you know, that's weird that happened because I know what you mean. There's an actor who plays the Roy kid's mum in Succession. She's brilliant. You've definitely seen her. Yeah.

She's like very acerbic and very kind of like cutting and like a proper, like really steal the scene kind of character. And I had never seen the actor who played her in anything before. And I literally picked up a newspaper about three or four weeks ago, and it was a Sunday paper, and she was on the front cover of the Sunday paper magazine, and it was legendary actor this, and she's a dame. And I'd never heard of her either. The lesson here is there's a lot of actors, mate.

There's a lot of actors, and I can't keep them all on my head. Films are getting made all the time. I very much like the relationship, the slightly sexual, flirty relationship that the Culkin boy and the business partner, or the CFO or something, the woman. Yeah, Jerry and Roman, yeah. I find that a very satisfying relationship. I think they should get together. I don't know. It's one of those relationships

that isn't really depicted that often. A little shitty, shitty bratty man and an older lady. Roman is like you with confidence, right? He's like me with money.

One begats the other, I think. True, yeah, true. No, not you, mate. It's a great show. I'm looking forward to it. We were about two or three episodes into the new season. Now very good.

Picked up where it left off. Is it just kind of like week by week, or can you watch the whole thing if you want? No, it's just week by week. It comes out every Monday night. I think it comes out Sunday in the US on HBO. Pete, can I just change the subject ever so slightly? If you want.

Because something I saw earlier this week perturbed me somewhat. Right. And that was that we have, I mean, really, you would say, I think, Pete, even you would agree, we have been at the vanguard of ambergris podcasting, haven't we? Yeah. There's not a month goes by that I don't talk about my fantasies about finding a lump of ambergris on the beach,

even though ambergris in its modern form is very much absolutely wrong and they'll kill whales to get the ambergris out. I still have this kind of very romantic... You're a purist. ..kind of 1950s idea that I would be walking down a beach and just find a big lump of, you know, $2 million ambergris.

Yeah. So for those who perhaps aren't quite as into ambergris as you, i.e. our listeners, I'm just going to give them a quick reminder. It's like a waxy rock-type substance. It's only produced in the intestinal tract of about one in every 100 sperm whales.

And when it expels, when it's kind of secreted into the sea by the whale, it becomes fragrant, it washes up on beaches, and it's really valuable for things like the perfume trade and the after show trade in the world. It costs a lot of money

per gram. It's one of the most valuable things in the world because it a lot of money per gram it's one of the most valuable um things in the world because it can't be faked it can't be um produced artificially anyway we talked about loads of times before i was always under the pressure pete because you are the in situ designated ambergris expert that it was actually almost vomited up by whales right right now i saw a story earlier this week in vice that kept calling it the feces of a whale and that it was whales basically for want of a better term shat it out yeah i don't know where to go with this now i don't know where i don't know where i stand well i i don't think they should be calling it um whale poop as the as the vice article describes it it's not mean, it's not poop.

It's literally just... Oh, actually, thinking about it, I mean, it's in the intestinal tract, apparently. That's how it's made. And it's expelled by the animal at the sea. I mean, I guess the only way that can be expelled is through one hole and one hole alone, the bum bum. So, presumably, I guess, does that technically mean that it's poop if

something comes out your bum is it poop stuff you haven't put yeah i mean there's a it's a it's a deep deep question um and apparently although i said what i said earlier about the fact that it can't be replaced synthetically apparently it, it's starting to be synthetically replaced now with this material called Ambroxide. But anyway, I don't know. Is it poop? Is it vomit? Let's put it to a poll. Maybe we'll put it on the Twitter poll, whatever.

I was also going to say to you, though, over and above that, apparently, and we haven't mentioned this before, that dogs are amazing at sniffing it out. And you live right by the beach and you've got access to two dogs. So I don't know what you're wasting your time with in the studio right now when you could be out there. I should join the thousands of people doing metal detecting.

But the thing with the part of Essex that I live on, it's kind of like the water goes out, the water goes in, but when the water goes out, it's just miles of mud. And I don't know where I'd start, to be honest, trying to find some

blooming ambergris and all that nonsense. Yeah, true. And tide can come in quick in certain parts of the UK, so you've got to be very careful, mate. Don't want to get stranded.

Do not want to get stranded. Can I also talk to you about a very classy crime that happened? I'm not endorsing this crime but it took my interest and it strikes me as the more of more interesting crime than your average it's about a I'm just going to tell you the story so essentially a quite well-to-do couple checked into a hotel and restaurant in southwest Spain okay in the city of caceres and they to all intents and purposes

just looked like a quite affluent um couple uh spoke english spoke spanish and they checked into their hotel uh there's a mission a two michelin style restaurant um on the side of the hotel it's called eight the complex is called atria i think think it's quite famous. And what they did is they checked into the hotel. They went to the restaurant to eat. And they asked, after they'd eaten, they asked the hotel front desk employee

to serve them more food because it was quite late. And then when that employee went to the kitchen, they legged it into the cellar and stole a load of bottles of wine and then when that employee went to the kitchen they legged it into the cellar and stole a load of bottles of wine and then disappeared among that amount of wine they stole was a bottle of wine from 1806 called the chateau de quim which is worth 295 000 pounds and it's so famous that it's very unlikely they're going to be able to sell it it's a unique bottle of wine it's numbered it's controlled the people in within the industry

would know instantly if they saw it and it's been um it's been you know suggested that what's actually happened is they're going to pass it on to a rival crime gang as a payment of a debt or in exchange for something else and it's going to be passed around because it's impossible to sell it that is the plot of a film right there that's right there is the plot of a movie how many but i like to think though yeah that all they did they went back to their room for a bit cracked it open some of the cork fell in the bottle they drunk it anyway out the bottle and they just legged it. They opened it with a shoe on a wall. They had some Scottish kind of,

what do you call them, those biscuits you get next to a kettle in a run-down hotel. Borders. Say again? Borders. No, Borders biscuits are good. You just mean shortbread, right?

Oh, no, I'm thinking, yeah, I'm thinking of that Scottish shortbread stuff that's really sort of fatty and greasy. Do right? Oh, no, I'm thinking, yeah, I'm thinking of that Scottish shortbread stuff is really sort of fatty and greasy. Do you really just, so when I stayed at, I stayed up at Long Clume a few months ago, or a month or so ago, as a special occasion thing

with the Wi-Fi I have access to, and they had homemade from the kitchen biscuits in the hotel room. Whoa. That is top quality. I mean, sometimes they're literally just fruit shortcakes from McVitie's, aren't they? Yes, sometimes they are.

Sometimes, I mean, the only crisps you ever get are like a quarter pipe of Pringles or maybe a big bag of like kettle chips. And I find them quite difficult to eat. They're too crispy. They fracture too easily. They've got a horrible mouthfeel to them. I don't know why they're called premium biscuits

and I don't know why I'm told again once again it's that Cox thing like people just tell me that this is the height of luxury even though it's actually

quite horrible to eat yeah hotel stuff is easy rank it's funny because I did a little test I'm going to come on to crisps in hotel rooms in a minute

people will be delighted to hear but my old man came to stay a while last weekend and he asked if I had any crisps and he'd in a minute, people will be delighted to hear. But my old man came to stay a while, last weekend, and he asked if I had any crisps. And he's,

it'd be a walker's man, right? It'd be whatever my mum gets from the supermarket, right? I mean, very much enjoying the image of your dad coming down the stairs going, you got any crisps, son?

Well, I mean, you can enjoy that image because that's exactly what happened. I love it. And, the wife I have access to, it comes from a different culture, crisp-wise, from us.

And she found these crisps she likes called Torres crisps, available on Amazon Fresh. They're expensive. Even though she's lived in the country for five years, she still doesn't really work out the exchange rate properly, so she just buys them anyway. Anyway, they're really expensive crisps. They're nice.

Maybe you bought too many crisps. You're ruining this're really expensive crisps. They're nice. Maybe you bought too many crisps. You're ruining this house with your crisps. I can't afford a never-end. You're improving this house with your crisps.

Anyway, they come in flavours like black truffle and ham on and all that kind of stuff. I've talked about them before. Anyway, they've

got a ready-salted selection. Like Father, Like Son. Yeah, they don't call them ready salted. They just call them olive oil because they're pretentious. Now, what I did is I said to my old man, do you want some crisps?

What flavour do you want? I've got these flavours. And he said, I've ready salted. I put some of the Torres olive oils into the bowl. I gave them to him. And I thought he was going to say, these aren't very nice because they're so different to what he's normally used to. He was raving about them.

Yeah. Absolutely raving about them. So what I'm saying is sometimes the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Yeah. But do you remember this? When we were on tour with the Ramble,

we stayed at those hotels. What were they called? The chain of hotels we had to stay at? Oh, they were like business hotels. They were nice business hotels. They were quite nice. Castle, Sheffield, places like that, yeah.

Do you remember the big tins of Yorkshire crisps they had in every single room? That rings a bell, yeah. And it's a weird situation because normally everything in a hotel room when it comes to food or drink is miniature and it's never satisfying. Yeah.

These crisps were so big that you couldn't finish them in one sitting. Too many. That's me saying it. Too many crisps in a hotel room with Lukey Mower. It's just too many crisps. Anyway, we should probably have a break. We haven't had a break.

Oh, yeah. Let's go, yeah. We've got no room for blabbing emails. No room for afters. Have a break and we'll squeeze an email in when we come back. We've had too many crisps. Abroad in Japan is the stack podcast that brings you a taste of life in Japan.

Recently, Chris Broad was joined by NHK contributor and legendary video game streamer Pete for a chat about his life as a TEFL teacher. I'd one time taught a woman who was still pregnant and I had to teach her stomach. What? Yes, and so... Wait, what?

She came in, seven months pregnant, and they were like, no, she wants you just to talk to her stomach. So I was sitting there giving instruction very specifically she held her tummy and she said i think he's getting it and i thought oh dear god just bizarre search abroad japan on apple podcasts spotify or wherever you get your pods new episodes every wednesday and sunday we're back with a little peach show and it's a thursday so that means one thing and one thing every Wednesday and Sunday.

We're back with the Luke and Pete show, and it's a Thursday, so that means one thing and one thing alone. Battery brands. Luke, we've got some gorgeous ones coming in. Kicking off with Kent. Do you want to read Kent's message? Kate, this Kent Wagenschutz.

Wagenschutz. Lovely. I think his dad might have been in the Stasi. Don't say that. He wasn't. He doesn say that. He wasn't. He doesn't mind. It's a joke. It's a joke.

How was last week's show? He says, I'm sure this is some real basic bitch stuff, but when my kitchen scale died, I discovered this, a Daily Max CR2032 posted inside, and I thought I'd send it along for consideration. It's a watch battery, though. Are we allowed these? I don't think we do watch batteries, do we? So that's what I wrote afterwards. It's a watch battery.

I'm asking you basically to adjudicate. I don't think we should allow little lithium ion watch batteries that keep clocks ticking over here and there. I'm not sure we should allow that to be honest. I know the CR2032 very well because it's what stops me shopping

in the co-op and moving to the Sainsbury's local because they sell them in there and I was sent to the shop for one because the wifi

I have access to was baking and the battery had run out on the scale so I know the CR2032 very well classic scales battery

yeah I don't think it's relevant for this so thanks anyway Kent excellent name all the best to your dad but no you're up next Pete you call it out next and I'll search for it alright cool Glenn from Stratford All the best to your dad. But no. No. You're up next, Pete.

You call it out next and I'll search for it. All right, cool. Glenn from Stratford. He's attached a short video clip of the Vinny Superior battery I've removed from my son's Flappy the Elephant. It had run out of battery. I'm not a complete monster. He's also included a GP Extra Heavy Duty for his flashing drum kit. Listen, Glenn, you're not going to get anywhere with your GP Extra Heavy Duty.

I'm almost certain, though, that we have had a Vinnie Superior before, to be quite frank. Yeah, I'm just checking now. Are you putting it in inverted commas or quotation marks? Is that how you really test the metal, so to speak?

Of the search? Of the search. Yeah, I'll do it in speech marks. That's how you're supposed to do it, isn't it? Yeah, good boy. And this is Glenn, yeah? Good boy.

Glenn, this is the first Vinny Superior we've had. We've had other Vinnies, but we've not had a Vinny Superior. Oh, fantastic. Glenn from Stratford, we've definitely never had a Vinny Superior. Thank you. You have got a new player entering the game there. Smashing stuff. Here we go then.

So right on to you, Glenn. And the final one's from Evan, who says, I've recently returned to Canada following six years living in the UK. My first two weeks back, I've come across more potential new players than I have in the last two years in the UK. So get ready.

So actually, no, do you know what? You don't need to get ready because I think that one of these three is definitely not a new player. So he's got the following. A Ruido. Ruido is definitely not a new player. Ruido.

We've definitely had them. I think it's a Phil Collins song. What about this, though? A Jiawei Sola. So type that in. J-I-A-W-E-I Sola. That could be a new player. Yeah, Jiawei Sola.

I think that is a new player, you know, Hangfire. Let me just... Check it out, because the other one he's submitted is an Easy Picks Rechargeable, which off the top of my head I don't remember. But I out, because the other one he's submitted is an EasyPix rechargeable, which off the top of my head I don't remember, but I'm fairly certain that first one could be new. I can't help but think that that whole... What are we looking at here?

Why are you so slow to use the internet these days? Because I closed the screen down. I'd done all the emails and then didn't think I needed to open it again, so it asked me to... Passwords have been getting just more difficult to administer here and there. Oh, I'm recently getting younger. Yes, I do believe that Evan, recently back from Canada, that is indeed a brand new Canadian player.

Evan, you've got a Jaoué Sola. That's a new one. Ruido. Let's have a look here. Ruido's not a new player. Ruido, not a new one Ruido let's have a look here Ruido's not a new player Ruido not a new player we've had that several times

EasyPix Rechargeable now I'm almost certain that that is an EasyPix camera I think it might be a Canon or possibly a Sony and they've re-badged it

you fool but he's not a fool it is a brand new Canadian new player EasyPix Rechargeable congratulations Evan I would very much

like you to peel the label off the Easy Picks to see if it's a rebranded version of another battery though but yeah cracking stuff Evan

that's two out of three not bad so we put an asterisk over the second one of those are we no put it in put it in look there's no pictures

on the score sheet Luke I just would like to I'd like to know where that battery came from, just for my own peace of mind, for my own files, to be quite frank. Two out of three is very good. What he should have done is he should have staggered those over different weeks

and they would have looked like a real consistent performer. But he's gone for the hat trick off the top of his head and he's got two out of three, so it's not too bad. Strong. Keep those coming in. We get loads these days. Producer Rory was like, I don't really know which ones to choose.

There's like 15 of them this week. Just choose the ones you want, baby. You'd think we'd run out at some point. Those three were the ones selected, and we've got three new players. Great stuff. It's just great stuff. It's riveting audio.

Riveting content. Nobody else does this. We're going to round things off with a quick email, if that's all right with you. And it's a doozy. And I've entitled it, Bodied by a Bad Dad. It's Carl.

He says, Hi, Luke and Pete. You talking about dads chasing kids've entitled it Bodied by a Bad Dad. It's Carl. He says, Hi, Luke and Pete. You talking about dad's chasing kids reminded me of an incident about 35 years ago. Me, 11 years old, and my mate Andre ran across the road

causing a car to have a break a bit and bib his horn. My mate stuck his fingers up at him, the car stopped, and my mate ran off, and I stood there as I did nothing wrong. The bloke got out of the car

and gave me a dig in the stomach, causing me to double over without saying a word. Man, it's great. It's the 80s. It's brilliant. Just punching an 11-year-old kid in the guts. He then got back in his car. I ran up to his car and kicked and smashed a set of his back lights,

then ran off. He tried to chase me, but I lost him through the alleyways. Keep up the good work, Carl. Carl, I'm sorry as an 11-year-old you got assaulted by a grown man, but I'm glad you managed to take his brake light off because that would have taken him a little while and probably a whole heap of money to fix.

Yeah, and I think he deserved it. Just the very idea in 2021, so obviously I'm a few years older than 30. I don't know how old the guy was. I think I was about our age. The idea, like, you get so angry with a kid, you run over there, presumably in broad daylight, and punch him in the stomach,

is kind of unthinkable now, right? And rightly so. But there's something quite pleasingly innocent about this whole story. You know, it's tit for tat. That's it. It's tat. That's it. It's done. There's no comebacks.

It's not a story that goes on for generations. Don't even have a chat about it. Don't even, it's like, you know, talk it out and talk about our feelings. A swear word has been administered, a bib and a beating. That's all you get. That's all you need.

Terrible stuff. But you know what, Carl? I want to speak to you directly. I'd love to know, Carl, where you grew up, because the way you've described this story and losing someone through the alleyways, which is exactly what used to happen where I used to live, because there's loads of alleyways.

Our neighbourhood was alleyway, street, alleyway, street, alleyway, street, with lots of crossover alleyways and streets as well. Carl, if you grew up in Gosport, I want to know about it because that's exactly the kind of thing that used to happen in the 80s in Gosport from what I remember. So great stuff. A lot of nostalgic feels listening to that story.

I hope your stomach recovered over time. I presume there's no long-term damage and you're obviously still of able body and mind and be able to email us in today. So great stuff. All in all, fantastic stuff. Would like to hear more. Yeah, very much enjoyed that one.

But if you would like to get into the show, if you've been hit by someone, let us know. Hello at LukeandPete.com. I remember sort of going out of, I was going from class to class. I was a little bit late, not like me, after like maths going to geography or whatever

when I was about 12. And I was walking through my school, like the front of my school, inside the gates, right close to the building. And he was a bloke. He must have been about 18. It was a fully grown man. He kicked me right on the arse.

I was just walking to get to my class. That's not painful though, is it? No, but he kicked me right on the arse. And I looked at him and then he did it again. And I was just like, I was looking at him going, what is this about? What have I done to deserve a kick up the bum by an actual grown adult? What's going on here?

And I never found out. He's just some random weirdo kicking 11-year-old kids, 12-year-old kids up the arse. What's that about? You told me this story before and I kind of felt like it would be an episode of Heavyweight or Gimlet's Reply All

or something. Yeah. Why? So I went to find the ass kicker. I'm Pete Donaldson and this

is Heavyweight episode 8. Very odd. If you've ever been you know I mean I would like to hear about imbalanced fights. Yes. Imbalanced fights. Yeah, yeah know... I would like to hear about imbalanced fights.

Yes, imbalanced fights. It doesn't have to be actual abuse. It could just be a little bit of knockabout fun. But do get in touch with the show. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com, at LukeandPeteShow, on the old Twitter. And you also get in touch on the Instagram as well, at LukeandPeteShow.

We've got someone checking those wires, checking those lines. Definitely. Definitely. Always. And I'll sign off with this by saying that I may have told you this story before, but very, very quickly. I was pushed over by a kid in my year

and I staggered backwards and fell over my backpack in front of loads of people. Yeah. And it was embarrassing to me. Emotional hurt. I was probably about 13. So I jumped up without really thinking about it and I threw a punch

the hardest punch I could throw at this kid and I hit him flush on the cheek to the point where I think I might have broken my finger my right little finger

still moves weird now and he just stood there doing what? like just he was like what are you going to do now? and I was like oh nothing

and he kicked me in so it does happen. And you were six foot three at that point. It's very strange. At 13, I was quite tall,

but I was skinny then. I started to get a bit fat at about 21. Before that, I was pretty slim. Yeah. Pre-kick life. I mean,

if he's listening, come around, I'll punch you again and we'll see what happens. I probably won't do that because that would be ridiculous but what I'm trying to say is he was harder than me then

he's probably still harder than me now so that kind of story that may be more interesting would be good what have we learned nothing absolutely nothing

I would have preferred to have got punched in the stomach by a dad exactly definitely at least he would have stopped with one I imagine

we'll be back on Monday doing what we do the best and the worst but in the stomach by her dad. Exactly, yeah, no, definitely. At least he would have stopped with one, I imagine. We'll be back on Monday, doing what we do, the best and the worst. But in the meantime, do get in touch and have a cracking weekend. See you later. Say goodbye, Lukey. It's crap and it's good and that's kind of the beauty of it.

Exactly. It's all mixed in together. Goodbye. See you soon. Ta-ta. The Luke and Pete Show is a Stack Production and part of the ACAST Creator Network.
