it's the Luke and Pete show it is Thursday and as promised we are going to be talking about chimpanzees having a bit of a scrap I'm Pete Donaldson I'm joined by Luke Moore Luke how the devil are you I'm pretty good thanks how you doing what's going on everyone not too bad mate bought a few things bought a few things on eBay, mate. You talk about your thing afterwards. I've got to get through this first. No, go on. Go on.

I just had a couple of irate texts from my mate Mark. Oh. Slagging him off on Monday. But I was bigging him up of anything. He's missed the point. Carry on. Diving helmet. I bought myself a diving helmet.

Of course you did. Of course. You're going to put that alongside your Garnet N747 fuel gauge, which I think is a dildo, by the way. I also, but it would, look, I wouldn't put it up the other way because it's got little teeth, but the other way I'd probably have a crack at getting it up there. That's all I'm saying.

My dad, when he was in the Royal Navy, was... Is that your name for your dad now? You just call him your diving helmet? The original diving helmet. He was on a ship called the Penelope. That was his major ship when he was in the Navy. And on eBay, I found this kind of like... You know the things you see in Navy clubs?

They put on the walls. All my mates had them in their homes, those little plaques, because all their dads were in the Navy, and they'd get one, I think, off their ship, and they'd put it on the walls. All my mates had them in their homes, those little plaques, because all their dads were in the Navy and they'd get one, I think, off their ship and they'd put it on the wall. Yeah, so I got one of them because I'm trying to move to the coast. So the woman I've access

to said that... Are you moving to a lighthouse? That would be amazing if you are. Said that we should have like a nautical like like you know when you go to an airbnb at the seaside she wants that kind of care and i was like little little display cases with knots on the wall i'm in i'm game and thus you could tell um you could tell the woman you've got access to hasn't had access to you for long

enough i haven't been living together long enough because there was about a six month window where i was allowed to have any kind of say whatsoever on interior design matters well it's not really a say it's just she expressed an interest in making it look but you're having an input crucially well i've got a credit card that's the difference luke and no one can stop me so i bought a diving helmet i bought a little model of a ship uh i've bought a train timetable. And I've also bought my dad's, like my dad's crest. What the fuck is a train timetable got to do with nautical theme? Yeah, a very good point.

But I saw it and I wanted it. You're a maniac. The problem is, after a while, what's going to happen is your contribution is very different than my household. And I will say this, the woman, the partner I have access to is, after a while, what's going to happen is your contribution, if you're anything like my household, and I will say this, the partner I have access to is amazing at interior design. She's brilliant. I'm nowhere near as good.

So there's no point in me having a say other than just to be stubborn, right? And I'm many things, but I'm actually not that stubborn. Including stubborn. And so anyone who says I am, I'll argue with them for hours about that um but my my grand input is basically walking downstairs to go to the door to get the delivery and bringing it upstairs and unboxing it and everything else is done basically for me so i guess my point is that if we were to have a nautical theme in any room in our house i wouldn't know anything about it until it happened. Right, okay, until you're wearing bell bottoms and a Breton stripe and a little sales hat. And a hat, yeah, exactly.

So what other purchase are you going to make for this nautical theme, do you think? Well, I mean, I think the diving helmet is my coup de grace, my finishing blow, so to speak, I think. Where are you going to put it? On your head? I don't know, if I sort of hang it off the wall, if I get angry, i can sort of just jam my head into it and have a little scream for a bit i suppose now buy four of them and anyone

who goes in that room has to wear one yes exactly yeah no i i agree i think that's a lovely touch but i think um yeah but but now i've got this kind of weird relationship with this man on ebay who sells these um impressions these these little kind of emblems that you can stick on your wall about ships. He's ex, he was a chippy on a ship, I think, and he keeps on trying to sort of email going, I've got loads of stuff, mate. Yeah, I used to serve on this ship and this ship and this ship. I think he's just a bit lonely, bless him.

I think he's almost certainly a thief. Should I pretend, a thief? Should I pretend that I was in the Navy for a friendship reasons? Yeah, you should actually. I think you should. No, just say you're in the SBS. I mean, you might as well go the whole way. Right, okay.

What's that one? The finest British sailors. No, it's the special. Super Boat Soldiers, it stands for. Super Boat Soldiers. Yeah. Super Boat Soldiers, it stands for. Super Boat Soldiers.

Yeah. Can I just drag you away from nautical matters? Right, to land. Yeah, onto dry land, because it's not every week we promise a chimpanzee war. But I have to say, and hang on a minute, I've got to find, right, it says Ali Darlow got in touch with this. Now, you know it's a special email, but it doesn't even go in the email section it goes in the main part of

the show because it's so good but ali bless him god bless him hello to you ali he emailed uh hello at luke and peter.com because he found evidence like good evidence that in the 70s there was a i can't look at the say this but i promise you it's true there was a war an actual war between rival chimpanzee clans that went on for over four years i like it i'm into it yeah um and the great thing about it is the wikipedia page now if you're as sad as me or you've presented a show like this as long as i have you'll know from using wikipedia that when there's a wikipedia article about a war or a battle you know wikipedia articles have the same formats right so so for example if it's a football player it'll be the list of teams they played for how old they are

what position they played even if the war even if i've not you know that bloke from the only ways essex who started playing for mark right mark right started playing for um i cut crawley town or something he started playing for a team anyway yeah he's a crawler yeah he played for him the other day yeah even though he looks like a terrible start as well um he uh he's obviously a a a celebrity but somebody's clearly gone back and put his footballing career in. So he's listed as a footballer, even though that's not the reason why everybody knows who he is,

if that makes sense. Yeah, so he gets a little section because he's effectively become a professional football player, right? So the Wikipedia format for articles on Wikipedia about wars, they have a little box the same way. So I've got a box for this one.

It says the Gombe Chimpanzee War date, January 22nd, 1974 to June the 5th, 1978. Location, Gombe Stream, National Park, Tanzania. Result, decisive Kasakala victory, right? The Kahama chimpanzees and the Kasakala chimpanzees went to war for four years okay the commanders and leaders so for example right if you were to type in to wikipedia um i don't know say like the vietnam war right you bring it up you bring up the page and it will say um belligerents

and on one side it it'll have North Vietnam, the Viet Cong, the Khmer Rouge, the Soviet Union, North Korea. And on the other side, it'll have South Vietnam, United States, South Korea, Australia. Do you get what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For this one, belligerents, right? Kahama chimpanzees, Casa Cala chimpanzees,

Vietnam War commanders, Ho Chi Minh, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, et cetera, et cetera, right? The chimpanzee war, commanders and leaders. On one side, Hugh and Charlie. On the other side, Fegan, F-I-G-A-N. Basically, the reason this is so frivolous, and it is quite funny, but I mean, you know, death of animals isn't really that funny. We'll have that lot on our backs.

By their own hands, I mean, come on. Yeah, yeah but the thing was no one knew chimpanzees could even um would even behave like this so there's a lady who um it was looking after these or monitoring these um these chimpanzees uh called jane goodall who who started to notice that the communities started good dolls i've got a tattoo in the back of my leg that is taken from the back of a Jane Goodall book. She's a famous chimpanzee expert. At the zoo, I remember this story and it is, and you're probably

going to come up to say it, but it is the only instance or example of animals at war. Isn't that insane? Yeah, it's crazy. So she saw these groups starting to splinter and a party of six adult chimps on one side isolated another one from the other side and killed him and then there was like a retaliation and then they um they started doing things like

celebrating quite boisterously when they had caused a a kill basically. And the whole thing went on for years until basically the Kahama chimps were defeated by the Kasakala chimps. The Kahama chimps lost 10 chimpanzees. I think only one of them survived. And then on the other side, they only lost one chimpanzee and that clan became the dominant clan. But it's essentially the first time

a naturally occurring war between chimpanzees you said is it's happened at the time no one believed them she got a lot she got a lot of stick for apparently uh excessive anthropomorphism so essentially attributing human characteristics to chimpanzees but later on i think actually more recently in 2018 um there was a study done where um it can you know where it can be repeated, a consequence of power struggles between high-ranking chimpanzees around things like a scarcity in female chimpanzees, for example, can cause this to happen. I just thought to myself, you know what, this is amazing

because when I woke up this week, let's say on Monday, I didn't think I would read about a chimp war. And I have done. And it's great. It's great to know it happened. It's a horrible thing, but it's great to know it happened. How do you react to it, Pete? What's your commentary on it?

Well, I just hope that Goodall gets her time in the dock at the Hague for enabling such terrible things to have happened. Just watching. That's probably libelous. Why? Chimp war, mate. Can't allow a chimp war to happen. She's 86 years old now.

A bit of respect. Well, I hope she makes her case very soon because can't libel the deceased. I thought that, I mean, joking aside, I thought that ants waged war on each other. I thought that was quite well known. It was just humans and ants that did it. No, maybe it was just, I thought that ants waged war on each other. I thought that was quite well known. It was just humans and ants that did it. Maybe it was just...

I thought it was just animals, like big old... I don't know what you would classify an animal, but... What's your cutoff for an animal, though? How low do you go for humans? A mouse is clearly a fucking mouse, isn't it, mate? Anything smaller than a mouse, not an animal no more. Scorpion. They're not expressive enough.

If you haven't got eyebrows, not interested. It should be eyebrows, I think. But I don't know of any other animals that have got eyebrows. Hello at lucanpitch.com, we've got an email in, your list of animals that have got eyebrows. But there's no way a mouse has got eyebrows, mate, unless you're watching a cartoon. Yeah, they've got eyebrows.

Or eyelashes, anyway. Sorry, eyelashes. Little kind of fibres to stop um grit going in their eye so if your eye if you've got eyelashes you're um an animal officially um and so for example good news if you're a camel listen to this because famous for their uh for their eyelashes good news good news for you um others you're gonna have to wait and see i'm afraid make your case hello at luke and pete show. Others, you're going to have to wait and see them, I'm afraid. Make your case. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. Did you, moving away slightly from chimpanzee war, did you see, it's something we've been trying to talk about

over the past few weeks, but we didn't get around to it. Adobe Flash, Luke. Are you missing Adobe Flash? Is it upsetting you? I don't know what it is. That you can't get Adobe Flash anymore? What is it? It was a web technology that allowed you to play video games.

Roberto Baggio, Magical Kicks being a very good example for the football ramble law from back in the day. Yeah, any video game you used to play back in the day, the Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger dance. Remember that song? Any song with an animation. Well, they discontinued it, have they? Yeah, a lot of it.

It was very memory intensive. It wasn't particularly light on its feet. What's replaced it, Pete? Well, HTML5, mate. But you cannot easily, well, you can, but you can't easily convert Flash into HTML5 very easily. But HTML5 is a lot easier to use. It's open source.

It's not protected by Adobe. And yeah, it all started with Google not allowing Adobe Flash onto the browser. But it's meant certain things that run on Adobe Flash, such as some of the kind the scheduling software in China. Some railroads in China shut down because Adobe Flash, a couple of months ago, well, probably a month ago now, because Adobe Flash stopped working. Yeah, the railroads stopped working in China

because nobody knew where the trains were. Nobody knew where they were going. Nobody knew where they were ending up. They were never at risk of crashing, but they just didn't really know what was happening. I don't want to be stereotypical here, but China's the last place I thought that would happen in. They'd all be

very good at that kind of stuff. You'd think that they would use I mean, I guess they use a lot of pirated software, so that kind of works. But it just made me laugh that the entirety of uh some uh local railroads in china broke down why have they not upgraded pete they just they just they press that remind me tomorrow button ever over and over again oh mate do you want to try it tonight

well make sure you're connected to a power source never gonna get me don't be a dickhead stop putting this on me that's the thing about apple isn't't it? And speaking of, and I know it's different to Adobe, but speaking of that, you're absolutely right. You get a little pop-up and it says, we've got to do some shit to your computer. We're not going to tell you what it is. No. It's going to be disconcertingly vague.

It's probably going to mean that your sound card's not going to work anymore, but don't worry about that. That's tomorrow, mate. That's tomorrow's problem. Also, Eddie Murphy gif alert. Can't have a problem with your sound card when you don't know what a sound card is. Ah, that wasn't Eddie Murphy.

That was just a dude. So it comes up and it says, yeah, do it. Do you want to do it now? Well, I don't want to do it now. I'm in the middle of something, obviously. If I've got my computer open, by definition, I'm in the middle of something. Exactly.

Yes, it might just be an episode of fucking Rick Stein, but I'm in the middle of something. As you rightly say, not do it tonight, because it means I've got to plug the laptop in. That's not happening. Secondly, do you want to do it tomorrow? Yeah, tomorrow's fine. They've done that for months,

and now their whole network's gone down. And now they've got a little boy sweeping up in an abandoned nightclub singing, Tomorrow never comes. I gave up yesterday, but they still want more speaking of um apple in china i heard i don't know this is true you'll be able to tell me that there were there were like um pirated apple shops in some parts of china apple stores that are so good that you would never know they weren't real yeah they look very they look quite charming

didn't they yeah you see i mean you see a lot of counterfeit goods in china half their beer's counterfeit for fuck's sake um right and uh their their creativity knows no bounds i like it i'm into it they just started a um uh steam you know steam the thing on your pc that allows you to play video games like a big it's owned by a valve yeah i I play Civilization VI on it, brother. There you go. Obviously, there are fucking 100,000 games on that thing. Just so many games. Steam launched in China, which is probably through the company Tencent, who work with every major publisher on getting their shit out in China.

And there's like 23 fucking games available because there is a very stringent, sometimes non-existing, but a very stringent kind of game. You have to be pro-China. You can't say certain things. You can't do certain things. You can't have sex, you can't have violence, you can't have this, you can't have that in it.

It's got to have this in there. It's got to be that. It's got to be it's got to have this in there it's got to be that it's got to be this kind of company and all of these games have to be checked and i think out of like the hundred thousand that steam have in in this country in the us and germany and all those places um china obviously there are like 26 games or something like that it's an incredibly cut down experience and some of them are just aren't even bloody games to start with. Do you reckon people in China will be able to get hold of this show? Not unless they're through a VPN. I imagine we're probably persona non grata.

They've probably got their own Luke and Pete show there. Probably got their own Luke and Pete show. And I'd like to hear it. Let's have a quick break, Peter. When we come back, we'll do some emails that aren't about chimpanzees. Stakhanov's brand new show, My 7 Wonders with Clive Anderson, is available to listen to now. Clive will be quizzing some of the world's most interesting celebrities, including Griff Rees-Jones and Shappi Korsandi,

about their own personal 7 Wonders of the World. Join Clive and his first guest, Dara O'Brien. Dara talks to Clive about his love for the Irish sport hurling and some of the extra benefits that come with owning a hurley stick. It's just pleasant to have a big stick in the house every so often. For home security, it's always nice to know that I have an arsenal if I need it. I'll bear that in mind if I'm tempted to burgle your house in the middle of the night. Just do it. Honestly, that's how I stand.

I stand naked with my Irish testicles dangling, challenging people. They discuss finding humour in quantum physics. It's like saying, is the cat dead or not? Would someone just open the box? Would someone just open the box? And discovering new passions during lockdown. Lockdown ran a schism, essentially, between the young comics who immediately went, I must learn new skills.

I must learn video editing and TikTok. And I must find new ways to bring my comedy to people. And the older comics went, yeah, retirement. It'll be all right, actually. That's it, the guy. Turns out, you know, it's not too bad. Search My 7 Wonders with Clive Anderson on your favourite podcast player

You can also leave us a five-star review as well, wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, emails.

Hello at LukeandPete.com is the email address, as Pete has already said. I wanted to drop this one in from aiden uh in belfast who and by the way do let us know where you're from when you email him because it's always nice to hear what different parts of the world people are in um i've never been to belfast but i'd like to go it looks amazing um but aiden says this um hi guys i'm a big fan of the show. It helps me get through my boring Monday in Joe at Tesco each week. After listening, though, to Monday's show on dad behavior, meeting seven out of seven of the behaviors you've listed, I think this is last Monday when we talked about different dad behaviors,

Aidan says he's come to the conclusion that his mom is actually his dad. He says, my mom actually embodies all of these behaviours. I'll need to have a serious conversation with her when I'm home. Keep up the great work. Thanks, guys. Aidan. So his mum has these dad behaviours. So maybe we've been a bit sexist.

Maybe we should have made it kind of overall parent behaviour than just dad behaviour. Yeah, but I mean but i think dads are um obsessed with details don't think about the big picture moms just get shit done in my experience yeah and moms get shit done yes i completely agree so there are mom behaviors uh my moms in my opinion or certainly in my experience the moms i have access have access to give, they're very- How many mums do you have access to? They're very cutthroat about the things they'll throw in the bin.

That's a mum behaviour for me. They are not nostalgic. Yeah, I agree. They are not- Totally. They're not tied to anything. If they don't like something, get that out there, Mark. Get that out there.

On Valentine's Day, there was a card that always used to be under the stairs in our home in Hartlepool. Big fucking card, like the size of half a door. Massive thing. A greetings card. Yeah, a big greetings card in a big cardboard envelope. What was it, blank?

This thing was bought in the 70s, and it was a Valentine's Day card. And when you open it up, this big, very 70s-looking cartoon of a man opens his arm card and when you open it up this big very 70s looking cartoon of a man opens his arm and says i love you this much because the guard's really big and every year my dad gets it down from the loft and just puts a bit of paper over it saying happy valentine's day you know 2021 or whatever and he did it again that's quite cute yeah they threw my A-level art stuff away. What grade did you get?

That's not important. But they threw all of my lovely artwork away, needlessly in my opinion. So I'm just saying that my mum will happily keep that, but she'll throw trinkets and odds and sods that I own in the bin. Yeah. trinkets and odds and sods that i own in the bin yeah so my mom my mom would also like she would sneak things into my car when i was down visiting her for the weekend so that she'd get out of her house so she could get out of her house and get it up to my house so for example it wouldn't even be stuff that was mine it's just stuff that she would quote unquote i thought you'd like it and i was my point to her would be my point to her would be my house i live in london my house is a third of the size of yours why are you giving me junk

to take back to my own house but you're right mate you tapped into something their mums are totally ruthless about that kind of stuff right right? Yeah. So that's probably where their behavior differs. Yeah. No, I completely agree. We've got an email from Liam McLaughlin. Hello, Liam. Good morning, the Luke and the Pete. After hearing recently the episode with the gentleman

meeting the fake Michael Jackson and then meeting the sweet and wonderful Anthea Turner, after seeing her training on social media for all the wrong reasons, yeah, all that good work of having a good image wiped after a day's work on social media for all the wrong reasons um yeah all that good work of having a good image wiped after a day's work on social media she um so so liam maybe thinks that she heard the recent podcast and wanted to be in the limelight once again um all right she she basically tweeted a a car like one of those really again very dad's whatsapp dad's app kind of forward. Poor quality JPEG. Yeah, poor quality JPEG.

A video of an Indian man doing a shit sketch about nothing. Just all that stuff. Like a woman shopping in a supermarket, but the payoff is that she's got quite large breasts. Yes, with nipples, always drawn in nipples by someone who's forwarded it down the thing who didn't think the picture was sexy enough, so they have to draw the nipples on for some reason. Obsessed, completely obsessed with nipples, always drawn in nipples by someone who's forwarded it down the thing who didn't think the picture was sexy enough.

So they have to draw the nipples on for some reason. Obsessed, quietly obsessed with nipples. And yeah, that sort of thing. She posted a Twitter picture of a overweight woman on a disability scooter and accessibility scooter rather. And she had a big McDonald's and I think she had a burger in her hand and she was shouting and she was wearing a mask and she was shouting at someone not wearing a mask going, how dare you risk my health not wearing a mask? And she's obese and she's got an accessibility scooter and she eats McDonald's all the time. I mean, basic dad's WhatsApp stuff.

What's the point of this? I mean basic dad's whatsapp stuff basic stuff what's the point of this well I think the the tenor of of Anthea Turner

ex-blue pre-tipa center's uh argument was that she doesn't want to be wearing a mask she does she yeah yeah basically

okay she's saying that that masks um you know she's the person this cartoon person doesn't fucking exist

how mad is it that Anthea's just come out of the wood come out of the woodwork as soon as we mention her? I know, right? Yeah, very weird. After I said that she was lovely as well. Well, clearly I wasn't in an accessibility scooter and I wasn't overweight.

Well, she's probably made a mistake. I'm sure she just said, oh, sorry about that. Is it that bad? It's quite bad, I guess. But is it that bad? Or are we in that realm of things where we just go mental about everything now because it's 2021 cancel cancel get her on the fire get her on the fire we don't need the water let that motherfucker burn who did that song originally now i'm not sure

i know the bloodhound gang did a version of like Roof Is On Fire, but then there was a metal version of it. Who did that song first? I'm sure we'll get loads of emails about it. Just give us a tweet. First person, give us a tweet. Let us know where that song came from because it's the sort of thing. Give us a tweet. Nat will read it.

She'll put it in the running order. We haven't got to do any work. That's the sweet spot right there. That's the deal. Nat is the producer to do any work. That's the sweet spot right there. That's the deal. Not least the producer we have access to. Yeah. I don't have any... I mean, I might be missing the point

here, and it might just be the fact that you've poorly explained it, but I don't have any animosity towards Anthea Turner, because she just made a mistake on Twitter. No, but she posted it. She probably said sorry after. No, she didn't. She doubled down. Oh, did she?

Fair enough. That's the way these days. That's a modern apology though, isn't it? That is a modern apology. Just do it. Just back yourself until something else rolls around. Until a 50-year-old TV presenter breaks COVID restrictions to go and see her mum and dad.

That's just wait until that happens. It's fine. Who did that? I can't remember her name. She's just wait until that happens. It's fine. Who did that? I can't remember her name. She's on Britain's Got Talent. She went out with Neil Morrissey. No, not Neil Morrissey. Oh, Amanda Holden.

Holden. Holden. But the thing that's fascinating to me, and it will be fascinating to our listeners, is that you can't name anything, right? But what you can do is do a really good potted summary of everything they've done. If you just attributed like 1% of that brain power

to just remembering their name, you'd save yourself so much time. No, it's like I let you through the doors of my mind palace. Each door, each doorway, each room, the front room, what's in here? Britain's got talent. Ooh, Simon's looking a bit miserable. Who's that over there? She's tiny. She looks very fragile.

She's like a little bird. How can you tell what Simon Cowell looks like? He doesn't look like anything. He's perfectly expressionless every time. Well, he's got his own room. There's him and Gumby. I want to finish off today's show with this email from Alan. Alan.

Personally, because he's called Alan. Yeah. And I don't know if anyone else has emailed in called Alan before, because he's called Alan. Yeah. And I don't know if anyone else has emailed in called Alan before, but also because he claims to be the listener to this show, living closest to a place called Cock Alley. Nice.

Which apparently is in the Chesterfield area. He claims to live 4.3 miles from Cock Alley on the corner of Kalo Lane, as you turn onto Cock Alley, is a farm as well. And in the top corner of the farm are a couple of old sheds where a mechanic operates his small business. I've used Glyn's, brackets lovely bloke, built like a brick shithouse, and it's convenient for me to drop the car off and get picked up for work. So he goes to Glyn's to use the mechanics and he says

this is a niche piece of information that you might prove useful once you decide to go on a grand tour style road trip across the british isles to take in weirdly named places uh cock alley itself is nothing to write him about just a long road barely wide enough for two vehicles bordered on both sides by large hedges and farmers' fields. If you live closer, and you can prove it on Google Maps, than 4.3 miles from a place akin to the weirdly named Cock Alley, let us know. Nat did something on Instagram earlier this week, or last week, of all the weird-named places in the UK, and Alan's got in touch, and he wants to lay claim to cock alley there was a there

was a road right near me called anchor lane spelt like wanker just with a w missing and that's the closest i can come to anything like that so to speak um but if you can get closer than 4.3 miles um then do let us know hello at luke and peach.com alan's been in touch he's emailed in he lives close to cock alley he just wanted to let us know about it and the mechanics on the on the edge of it i like it can i can i add a little um kind of uh ps at the end of it just because it's a very sweet story i didn't read the ps yeah carry on i messaged alan said i messaged you from my instagram which is dinosaurs in a pub which is a game I played with my son, who is now 12 when he was little.

As he suffers from learning difficulties, he often struggled with leaving home without something being in his hands. As he was obsessed with dinosaurs, aren't we all around four or five, we took a few with us to a wedding and drunkenly took some photos of the dinosaurs to which he found highly amusing.

We continued this little game for several years until he was old enough and aware enough to not need them for comfort. However however as an in-joke within our small family we decided he asked me are you excited and we he asked me to carry on taking them with me whenever i go to a pub or out for a meal whilst it's a little harmless fun i do get the occasional strange look from fellow patrons when i remove small plastic dinosaurs from my pocket to photograph next to a beer whilst on a night out. The things you do for your kids' entertainment.

I love that because it's just a man who's always got a couple of little pocket dinosaurs. Digimon. Yeah, that's great dad behaviour. That's one of the best dad behaviours I've ever heard. He's a dream dad, is Alan. Dream dinosaur daddy. And he does that for his son. Good for him. That's great.

In a lovely, positive way. Those dinosaurs are drinking away the nights before the Comet Club a cock alley and he does that for his son good for him that's great those dinosaurs those dinosaurs drinking away the nights before the comet clone comes they're not bothered they're chilled out they're having a diskey they're the dinosaurs
