Starting point is 00:00:00 Own each step with Peloton. From their pop runs to walk and talks, you define what it means to be a runner. Whatever your level, embrace it. Journey starts when you say so. If you've got five minutes or 50, Peloton Tread has workouts you can work in. Or bring your classes with you for outdoor runs, walks, and hikes, led by expert instructors on the Peloton app. Call yourself a runner.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Peloton all-access membership separate. Learn more at onepeloton.ca slash running. So they took an electric car and they drove it from the north of Sweden to the bottom of Sweden. And you've got to understand, Sweden is a long country. And it took them 24 hours because they had to charge the car. That's not going to work. That's not petrol all the way, baby. Gas all the way, baby.
Starting point is 00:01:01 That's a conversation two men were uh in front of me in a chinese restaurant in los angeles uh about uh electric cars uh when do you ever need to drive from the top of sweden to the bottom of sweden uh is what i wanted to ask listen it's a great intro it's a great intro absolutely clear i don't feel like i need to kind of no look at that or speak to that response that i just like to bathe in the splendor of that it's the look of peach show we're back great great great to speak to you peter and great to speak to that or respond to that I just like to bathe in the splendour of that so Luke and Pete show we're back great to speak to you Peter
Starting point is 00:01:27 and great to speak to our lovely Luke and Pete show family electric cars Chinese food oh that's what I had a couple of weeks ago
Starting point is 00:01:34 in Los Angeles a dipped beef sandwich I was kind of googling well beef dripping which is
Starting point is 00:01:43 I mean it's just more beef really isn't it that's their kind of like what's the famous thing that... Make it more fatty. What's the famous meal in LA? And one of the famous meals was that basically. And I was like, well, I mean, again, you're just dipping it in more beef. It was already in the beef.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's not going to make it more beefier. But apparently a French restaurateur chef was making a beef sandwich for a client in the morning. And the guy was in a hurry. And he actually, as all of these stupid stories go, and he accidentally dropped the sandwich in some beef dripping. And the guy said, just give me the sandwich. I've got to go. I've got a busy meeting. I've got an important meeting.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I've got to get to it. Give me the dripping beef sandwich. And then he came back and he went, can you dip it in beef again because that was delicious yesterday and therefore the los angeles dipped sandwich exists how many years ago did that happen do you reckon i think it was the early 19th early 20th century i believe and um did you enjoy it uh it was all right. It was just like a weak gravy on beef sandwich, really. Yeah, I don't really understand the charm, to be honest. But anyway, this is the Luke Page Show. I'm Pete Donaldson.
Starting point is 00:02:56 I'm joined by Luke Moore. And once again, we're doing what we do 10th best. We talk about nonsense. Stuff that's happened over the weekend, stuff that's happened over your weeks. We read out some emails. We occasionally touch on some battery brands. Yeah, that's on a Thursday though, so if you want that today, you're fresh out of luck.
Starting point is 00:03:12 No, listen to an old one. Keep walking, Grandad. Peter, we can only start today's show with the absolutely seismic news and it is seismic news that your friend and mind uh our humble and very beneficial overlords at meta have announced that um leg legs are coming to the
Starting point is 00:03:36 metaverse the legs are coming to the metaverse how is that an update that comes later so like meta creating this fucking metaverse uh and it's a meta what you can do is you can be yourself imagine the presentation you can be yourself in the metaverse you can do this you can interact with those people you can go anywhere in the world it's an amazing completely freeing you know beautifully egalitarian idea of decentralization you know the experiences you're going to be able to enjoy and you know you won't have any legs and hang on what sorry what and it feels to me like zuckerberg and his pals thought they'd really get that one through but they haven't yeah i think uh people were
Starting point is 00:04:16 i just think that was one of the sticks that uh people sort of constructed to beat uh the metaverse with that nobody had any legs um i'd sort of look a little bit further afield than that. Sort of, you know, the overwhelming fact that even the people who are developing meta for Facebook slash meta, they're not even using it. And are actually getting told off by their line managers on publicly leaked emails to use the metaverse.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Because we've seen that you've not been using the metaverse and you're developing the metaverse. Nobody wants to use your fucking metaverse. Meta? Yeah, yeah. Oh, it's like if you're working at McDonald's and you're eating burgers, you're damn right you are. Peter, can I also please critique the announcement video
Starting point is 00:04:58 which was six seconds long and said, announcement, whatever, legs are coming to the metaverse and it's the back of Mark Zuckerberg and one of his female colleagues, presumably, standing opposite each other, almost in a kind of jousting kind of way. And they're kicking their legs, right? And the announcement is,
Starting point is 00:05:14 great, legs are coming to the metaverse! Exclamation mark. Everyone's celebrating. Look in the crowd. All I'll say is, look in the assembled crowd in the video behind it. Look at it now. Watch it now.
Starting point is 00:05:24 It's only six seconds. You can watch it right it's only six seconds you can watch it right now what do you notice about that they've not got any legs they haven't got any legs at all so that's why they're excited it's like it's like a kind of um that's that's the thing about um governmental rule isn't it they take away liberty from you and then kind of like feed you them back and sort of go there you go you can have them you go thanks mate way we can do this it's like we could always do this but you took it away from us certain people are only the ones who get legs exactly four legs concerns me a great deal no two legs good four legs bad
Starting point is 00:05:54 i just don't i don't fully understand basically when you bracket this alongside what's going on with elon musk and kanye west at the moment yeah i don't know where i am didn't didn't they have to edit out like in that fox news interview with tucker carlson uh the the ye uh is it ye or yeah they call him yeah yay the yay uh interview they had to edit out like so much anti-semitic stuff. It was unbelievable. Yeah, he followed that up last week with going to a meeting with a load of Adidas execs, apparently, showing them a porn video,
Starting point is 00:06:31 shouting at them on, storming out. It's like, what's happening? He's like that guy from Peep Show. What's his name? Oh, God. Super Hands. Super Hands, yeah. Yeah, with a bit more menace.
Starting point is 00:06:47 And here's where it gets like, I mean, you've got to laugh about it because that's the british way you know and this is i guess that's the role of this show but like it's quite frightening when you see it like elon musk can start out that horrendous russian invasion of ukraine by chucking like 10 000 of those internet capability satellites up and starlink satellites up there for ukraine to you know to hopefully be able to communicate with each other properly which is a good thing to do and now fast forward you know eight nine months and he's just flipped on it he just flipped he's got so much power that he's now flipped and said oh yeah you should just let russia do this and we should do that and do the other like it's it's baffling and worrying how much power these
Starting point is 00:07:22 individual people have got and like i also think that you know joking aside around around kanye west there needs to be some kind of i don't know how it would happen but there needs to be some kind of intervention into his issues because obviously it's i'm not qualified enough to diagnose anything medically with him but clearly there are there are problems there well i mean the indulging of this is really problematic. But that's happened right throughout the entirety of rock music. People taking advantage of compromised people who are seriously unwell. And yeah, no one's ever going to get involved really because the money's still coming in. But it's when the Adidas want to pull deals is when we're going to lose out, I think.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I just feel like, I mean, Tucker Carlson's a disgrace anyway. He's like basically a malign presence. He's essentially like a traitorous, malign presence in America. Like, he's parroting like Putin, like propaganda points. Yeah. Every night on TV. It's crazy. I mean, but that's the new kind of...
Starting point is 00:08:21 Edgelord. Say again? The new kind of edgelord. The new kind of edgelord. That's the new kind of conservative view, say again the new kind of edge lord that's the new kind of edge lord that's the new kind of uh conservative view though isn't it they're they're pro trump they're pro duma they're pro um putin which is just uh it's it's incredible what are you pro what am i pro what am i into luke i don't actually know i'm pro the things I'm bro if you want to hear it okay like quiet weekends doing nothing
Starting point is 00:08:45 yeah okay fair playing pub g on my ps5 doing my coat up when I've got shorts on as I've said to you before
Starting point is 00:08:53 it's always enjoyable yeah it just doesn't happen very often you get into a situation where you're wearing shorts might be playing sport or
Starting point is 00:09:00 something but it's cold so on your way home you put your coat on and you do your coat up when you're wearing shorts and it feels like such an indulgence
Starting point is 00:09:06 fancy pants I've never really been able to chime in no one's ever really chimed with me on that I feel like it's just me and my mate Phil who only ever really
Starting point is 00:09:13 enjoyed that kind of experience together I'm sure you could find a place on the internet or in some kind of German chat room that could indulge you imagine that I found
Starting point is 00:09:20 something so weird that no one on the internet is catering for yeah exactly yeah just lads in big duffel courts in their pants effectively Imagine that, I found something so weird that no one on the internet is catering for it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, just lads in big duffel coats in their pants, effectively. Well, can Mark Zuckerberg guarantee me that in the metaverse, doing my coat up when I'm wearing shorts will be such an enjoyable experience? Well, could you wonder, yeah, I mean, I presume like your kind of,
Starting point is 00:09:39 your avatar would be coat, no shorts, like coat, no trousers, just a big trench coat, legs it's gonna be cracking like like a basically like a ghost of the basically the ghost in a haunted mansion yeah exactly uh which ironically mark zuckerberg looks like he lives in a haunted mansion um someone was saying to me uh the other day that they um so jacob reese mogMogg has very recently, I think quite recently anyway, released a book. And someone I know, or at least someone I partly know through someone else, went to his house in, I believe, Somerset to record the audio book version of his book because he wanted to do it his his place and he said it was honestly like a massive like gothic mansion which he lives on the top floor of right like it like probably like living the brand and it was the weirdest most bizarre experience like it was it wasn't he didn't turn
Starting point is 00:10:36 up he lived in a nice but normal house it was like a proper i'm off to transylvania to fight yeah it was it was really, really strange. Like, very, very strange. I don't know a lot about acoustic treatment, but I'm thinking Gothic Mansions, not the best place to record an audiobook. All I'm saying is, I think I may have dropped the ball there because it may have been Jacobean. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:11:00 So it may have been slightly more modern than the Gothic era. Well, they're just absolutely packed with interiors. In style. And as we know, acoustics have improved greatly when they moved from the classic era to the Jacobean one. I just thought it was interesting. And also, the other thing I wanted to bring to the table today, and I think you'll hate this, but I'm going to say it anyway
Starting point is 00:11:16 because I think some of our listeners might like it. Have you happened across a fairly new documentary on Netflix called A Trip to Infinity? A Trip to Infinity? That sounds spacey. No, I haven't. It's basically about the nature of infinity as a concept of what it means in reality. And it's essentially a really
Starting point is 00:11:34 beautifully shot series of talking heads interspersed with all these different graphics that are trying to articulate and highlight what they're actually talking about. Because obviously the concepts are very odd um it's cosmologists mathematicians theoretical physicists quantum physicists just basically trying to explain how they approach the nature of infinity from their jobs uh and how it helps them what it means to arsenal the rest of
Starting point is 00:11:59 it was absolutely mind-bending uh to the point where i had to get but i'm watching it on netflix in bed on my laptop i had to get out of bed have a little walk around the flat have a cup of tea before i went back to bed again because i was fearing i was going to have some kind of mathematical dream that i'd never wake up from very very odd like it was it was fascinating but odd so it was essentially talking about how for example some people think the universe is infinite, but it might not be. Right. But what does infinite actually mean?
Starting point is 00:12:29 And is it possible for human beings who, you know, by nature, their concepts and their lives and their kind of experiences are, you know, by their very nature, very finite. Is it even possible for humans to conceive of it?
Starting point is 00:12:41 And does it exist in reality beyond this concept? It's quite helpful for, mathematicians to do equations and stuff like that right um so it was yes i mean really that's the extent of what i can explain about it uh there was all sorts of weird shit going on and i just thought to myself the world is just so strange like it's the strangest thing you can imagine like really really very odd one of the concepts that really blew my mind and maybe you already knew this but it's worth discussion i think is that if the if the universe is infinite essentially anything that can possibly happen i.e anything that isn't ruled out by the you know the established laws of nature the laws of physics the laws of the universe all that kind of stuff anything that
Starting point is 00:13:25 isn't ruled out by that will definitely happen somewhere that's in an infinite amount of times right so so what the example they used was you take a box as a concept and you seal the box and nothing can get in and out of the box and you put an apple in the box right and you go back to the apple after a day and it's going to be slightly rotted you go back after a year it's going to be even more rotted you go back after 100 years it's going to be dust basically if you go back to the apple after a day and it's going to be slightly rotted, you go back after a year, it's going to be even more rotted. You go back after 100 years, it's going to be dust, basically. If you go back after a billion years,
Starting point is 00:13:51 it's going to essentially change in format to essentially a load of different neutrons, protons, electrons, they're all going to decay. And essentially, if you wait long enough, in theory, the universe starts again. Yeah, i can have that and that and that apple will at some point because the possibilities are literally infinite
Starting point is 00:14:10 that apple will turn into you yeah exactly as you are now in that box that's but endlessly cycle through all the things that are possible that's the side of of of this kind of thing that that fascinates me it's it's very artistic to come up with these examples i think there's something very beautiful about in an infinite world like you you can create all of these things but actually actually talking about this stuff like yeah that is true but there's also an infinite amount of other things that could happen as well but to choose that apple and to choose that example it's such a lovely kind of you know you there's such artistry in making science and stuff like this uh uh interesting for people like that so it's a very human example for a very inhuman uh kind of thing i would say i agree i think that's something fascinating it's a shame that in the first
Starting point is 00:14:58 take apparently he chose a dog turd and they said that's your mom that's become your mom in its entirety. Which is true. Technically is true. It is true. And the graphics girl was like, I'm not doing a dog turd. Yeah. To pick something else.
Starting point is 00:15:13 All right, Apple. That's fine. I'll do an Apple. So basically what I'm saying is infinitely at some point, you will turn into a dog turd. That dog turd will turn into your mother. Yeah. Your mother will turn into adolf hitler
Starting point is 00:15:27 right okay yeah i guess so it would it could all happen i've accused her of being just got a white few times she carries on you just gotta wait long enough yeah just so basically for those listening in a little bit more of a relatable maybe enjoyable way some if this is true somewhere else in the universe at some point in time every single person listening to this show will be the sexiest human being in the world
Starting point is 00:15:51 that's true and the cleverest and the what? and the cleverest and the cleverest and everything yeah so there we go
Starting point is 00:15:58 Pete on that mind bending note let's take a quick break when we come back I do believe we've got a couple of emails that we'll try and get to so it's worth people sticking around what do you think about
Starting point is 00:16:07 that all right then and we're back with luke peach show on a monday i'm pete i'm luke i'm everyone uh if you go far in the future long enough billions of years i'm you you're me i'm a battery i'm the lad who's flight got cancelled or got called to the gate so he put his Wetherspoons breakfast into a clear plastic bag
Starting point is 00:16:29 did you see this it was just before I went away we didn't get to it on the show he was having a Wetherspoons breakfast and he had a clear
Starting point is 00:16:36 plastic bag so it got called to the gate he wanted his breakfast so he put it in a little clear plastic bag and the best thing about it is
Starting point is 00:16:43 the bloke looks a bit like Marcus Speller. Oh, good to know. The most surprising thing about that for me is that it wasn't you. I know, right? Well, he's having a breakfast
Starting point is 00:16:51 but there's an egg in there actually, there's bacon. He's also gone for chips as well which I know you're dead set against. Very, very disappointing work I would say. There's plenty of opportunity
Starting point is 00:17:00 in your life generally around mealtimes to have chips. Yeah. Why not gatekeep a certain meal? I don't think traditionally a cooked breakfast, an English breakfast, has ever really involved chips. I don't know why people bring it in.
Starting point is 00:17:12 No. There's a potato product available to you. I don't know why they bring it into Chinese food. Why are you doing that? Exactly. Exactly. I think people sometimes see it as the great leveler, but I believe I'm right in saying there's a potato product already available to you,
Starting point is 00:17:23 and that's the humble hash brown. Exactly. Avail yourself of that. Completely agree. No problem. I was on a lot of, I'd very much like to encourage people to get involved in the old biscuits and gravy for breakfast. That white gravy.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I can't get with it. With the bits of meat in it. Oh, come on. So my problem with the biscuit, as in the US version of the biscuit, is that my mind is telling me it's a delicious fruit scone. It's just a scone, isn't it? It's just a scone. But I'm not a big fan.
Starting point is 00:17:50 To be honest, I'd never indulge in the scone, really. But I just think that lovely chickeny gravy, very thick gravy, I'm a big fan of. Yeah, have that with some fried chicken and some waffles. I'm all over that. That could accompany a million different meals in the British vernacular. Food vernacular. The arc of enjoying American food when you're visiting America is amazing,
Starting point is 00:18:12 but it is severe. Oh, there's a lot of shame in there. This is the best thing ever for about three days. And after that, you're like, I don't know how I can do this for. Big fan. I mean, obviously, on the West Coast, going down to California a couple of weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:18:26 every service station I was picking up, like Mexican sweets and stuff. I love my sweets. I love kind of very sour, very aggressive sort of jelly sweets. Chemically sweets. Well, chemically, but they just fucking dip it in sugar, salt,
Starting point is 00:18:44 and a lot of chili. And it elevates the sweet flavor so much. It makes your mouth water. Oh, man, I love that stuff. There was one that was just like, it was where you'd buy the strips of mango covered in chili and salt that you see in the service stations. And it was just like four plastic spoons
Starting point is 00:19:03 where they just sort of scooped up some sugary crap with chilli on it, wrapped it in a bit of plastic, and you just take out the spoons and just suck on the spoons. Nothing could be more daunting than that. That is the most Pete Donaldson thing to ever happen. It was so mend and make do. Very enjoyable. That'll do. That'll do.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Just wrap that up. Donaldson will be alone in a minute. He'll pay double that price. What are you doing? Mark it up higher than that same service station i bought you a hat luke so you know i was oh did you i haven't seen you yet i was high on sugar high on life that is so kind of you i look forward to receiving that when i see you you want me very much peter all right yeah well i'll wait yeah i'll wait till i see it um do you know what i'd really love do you remember though the the most iconic baseball cap possible in the 90s was the baseball cap with bird shit all over it. It said, Damn Seagulls.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Oh, no, I never saw that. Oh, mate. Try and find one on the internet. It was basically a blue baseball cap and it had fake bird shit and splats all over it. And on the front, it said, Damn Seagulls! There's a lot of like... It's a great cap. In those silly shops where you buy the silly clothes fake bird shit and splats all over it and on the front it said damn seagull exclamation mark.
Starting point is 00:20:06 There's a lot of like in those kind of in those silly shops where you buy the silly clothes and stuff that are just you know for jokers.
Starting point is 00:20:12 There's just a lot of there's a lot of like t-shirts sort of talking about being a dad and telling the any potential suitors of your daughter
Starting point is 00:20:25 that you've got a gun. There's a lot of T-shirts that just sort of go, I'm a dad and I've got a gun. You know what I mean? Like, I've got a daughter and I've got a gun. And if you try and fuck my daughter, I'm going to fucking shoot you with this gun. It's all very possessive and weird.
Starting point is 00:20:40 And there's a lot of that. And there's also one of of the ones quite a lot of them i saw a couple weeks ago was um talking about being an old guy uh like sort of going if you if you value your freedom thank an old guy and i'm thinking old guys now i mean you could have been born in the 80s and you're an old guy like there's a lot of people who didn't quite know he fucking was like just thank you thank an old guy if you if you let your freedom thank an old guy. Like, there's a lot of people who did quite any fucking wars. Like, just thank an old guy. If you like your freedom, thank an old guy.
Starting point is 00:21:09 It's so weird. How many old guys did you thank? But there's such a weird kind of like example of a patriarchy. It's so fucking weird. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I've put a link to that hat in the little chat. Have a look at it now. Hang on. Hang on. It's a good hat. It's a great hat. Right, okay. That a look at it now. Hang on, hang on. It's a good hat. It's a great hat. Oh, in the chat here.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Right, okay. Yeah, yeah, okay. That's a long eBay link. Damn, see. Oh, that's disgusting. It's a great hat. But they've kind of, they've used like quite 3D paint,
Starting point is 00:21:34 so it's actually quite realistic. Yeah, I think it's a modern, it's kind of a modern version. It's a modern reimagining. The initial ones were like, you used to buy them when we were on holiday in Florida. They had like little,
Starting point is 00:21:42 proper like crusty bits of acrylic that looked like bird shit it was great I remember my mum refusing to let me have one this looks like an original it looks
Starting point is 00:21:48 disgusting absolutely disgusting I tell you what if you bought that and wore it on some kind of show you'd get a lot of credit for that
Starting point is 00:21:55 I'm telling you it's the kind of thing sooner or later Josh Winnicombe's going to wear and everyone's going to go oh is he so funny
Starting point is 00:22:01 they go I've got this new cap Geoffrey I cannot wait for you to have to work with Josh Whittaker somehow. It won't happen. There's just so much. You could fall into a job with Josh Whittaker. I won't do it.
Starting point is 00:22:14 He will be at the vanguard of every job in the media environment. And you will have to work with him at some point. And I love it. If I do have to work with him, I'm going to give him a dead arm fair an opening on behalf of the nation on behalf of the nation i like lots of people but i don't like him right anyway all right fair carl watson's been in touch let's see if we like carl watson i'll read his email you can decide whether you like him or not um his email is titled the luke and pete show butterfly effect so in many ways actually quite similar to what we're talking about before the break so that's why i thought
Starting point is 00:22:48 i'd bring it in he says hi chaps um second time emailer with a tale of how the luke and pete show has been directly influencing my decisions lately and ultimately is partly responsible for my hospitalization through some weird butterfly effect we're the dice man yeah we are a bit have you ever read that book by luke reinhardt the dice man no it's just about a man with a dice through some weird butterfly effect. We're the Dice Man. Yeah, we are a bit. Have you ever read that book by Luke Reinhart, The Dice Man? No. It's just about a man with a dice, isn't it? Yeah, he uses a dice
Starting point is 00:23:11 to decide all his decisions. I don't know if it's real or not. I can't remember. It's crazy. Anyway, Carl, don't do that. Carl picks up the story by saying, I was due to be in Manchester for a mate's birthday
Starting point is 00:23:22 on Saturday 1st of October, but because of the rail strikes that day, I decided to go down the night before on the friday and stay over and i thought to myself why not see what gigs are on that night and after a quick look uh the clear stand that was ian brown playing his hometown show in manchester we all know that went that went right over the internet the mad old bastard anyway however as i scrolled further down i saw that 2000s indie rockers Hard 5 were playing that night and immediately got a flashback to Pete telling the tale of them being huddled around one computer checking their emails.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Pete, do you want to re-up that story when you met Hard 5? A big CRT monitor, a late 90s, early noughties Dell computer, and the three members of Hard 5 huddled around it checking their Yahoo. Why were you there again? I was working at XFM. There we go. So that's how that came to our notice. For some reason, Carl says,
Starting point is 00:24:11 I found this absolutely hilarious and based solely on that image, I decided to forego Ian Brown and warm up my vocal cords for belting out Cash Machine instead. So far, so good. Well, you're going to a Hardfi gig, so not good so far so normal
Starting point is 00:24:26 after doing a little digging it turns out this was hard fight's first gig in eight years as part of a two-night reformation tour and while i would love to tell you they were shit they actually sounded pretty tight all things considered and the crowd of what i assumed were hard fight diehards were absolutely loving it to be fair i can absolutely imagine that that sounds fine um anyway during the final chorus of the encore, which was Living for the Weekend, one of their big hits, of course, the crowd around me were fully going for it
Starting point is 00:24:49 and for my sins, I took a rogue elbow to the eye socket and found myself an A&E faster than you can say, is that a new player? I was thankfully discharged later that evening with a couple of stitches and an email for you to the practically rights itself. Finally, how one off-the-cuff joke from Pete has resulted
Starting point is 00:25:06 in a man he's never met going to hospital. I've CC'd my solicitor who will contact you in due course about a conversation for your partner with this. Keep up the good work, Kyle.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Funny that. I mean, I would say the best case scenario you're watching Hard Fight and I'm into that. I'm into it. I thought they were awful
Starting point is 00:25:21 when they first came out and I think they're awful now. They're not awful. They were quite tight they had anthems that was all about it was all about anthems back there wasn't it
Starting point is 00:25:29 all about anthems can I soften it somewhat by saying that they were doing music about stuff that was true to them they weren't manufactured it was pretty real
Starting point is 00:25:38 yeah they grew up in stains good eyebrows that's not easy for anyone you know and they wrote songs about what they know and I respect them for that,
Starting point is 00:25:45 but I didn't enjoy the result personally. Okay. In my opinion. That was very balanced for Lukey Moore. Yeah. Now, would it help you to learn that Josh Whittakin was doing the PA that night? No way.
Starting point is 00:25:58 He'd get fucking bottled off. Oh, nuts. All right, here we go. Chris, we're going to round up with this story from Chris Frost. Thanks, Chris. Hi, folks. I've going to round up with this story from Chris Frost. Thanks, Chris. Hi, folks.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I've had to catch up on a few weeks' worth of episodes, and I've just heard Luke talk about his surprise that it makes a loud bang when you get an electric shock rather than a zap like the movies. Well, I unfortunately have a little bit of experience in that area. I was around nine years old when I got a PS1 for Christmas. After a while, the ball bearing that held the discs in place fell into the machine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:24 What's that? I was thinking, the ball bearing. What, the bit in the fell into the machine. Okay. What's that? I was thinking, the ball bearing. What, the bit in the middle of the CD-ROM kind of thing? The ball bearing that held... Oh, I guess, yeah. It sort of grips the... Grips it, I think? Does this involve our friend putting his hand into a PS1?
Starting point is 00:26:40 It's a top loader. Anyway, I turned off the power and took the machine apart, mending said contraption. I wondered whether the thing would work with no top on, so I proceeded to plug it in. Whoa. Nothing bad could happen from that. As I pressed the power button,
Starting point is 00:26:52 the full force of 220 volts went through my 10-year-old body and threw me the full length of my bedroom. Looking into it, if Sony had opted for a DC system, I wouldn't be here today. As AC tightens your muscles, luckily it threw me away from the source with just a sore head. Chris, is there that many volts going through the fucking,
Starting point is 00:27:10 going through that at that point? Does a PlayStation need 220 volts? Good God. Good God. But that's just a standard level for electrical current. Why is that going through the system to the point where you're pressing the button on the power button, though? Why is it getting to the power button?
Starting point is 00:27:26 Or anywhere near the power button though why is it getting to the power button or anywhere near the power button this whole thing the story that Chris is talking about refers to when I saw that big Maori guy fucking thrown
Starting point is 00:27:33 across a room by a bug that was one I know I always talk about this and I apologise people are bored by it but I
Starting point is 00:27:39 cannot stress enough that was one of the most insane things I've ever seen chiefly because it's one of the only things I've seen where I thought I don't know what's happened there i have no idea what's
Starting point is 00:27:49 happened he's living for the weekend he's fucking he's like tell you what he's lucky to be living at all blowing up tonight yeah that was 2003 and i'm pretty confident when i say this that was 2003 if he's continued living his life with the same attitude for 19 years he's definitely dead the man was ripping out cables with a pair of wire clippers with a pair of um uh what's it called nail pullers yeah i like it straight metal nail not for me i like it well uh this has been the luca peach show for another week uh we'll be back uh week i mean it's monday isn't it uh We'll be back on Thursday with more of this trash to be quite frank. We should do another
Starting point is 00:28:27 email special. We did one of those a few weeks ago. Let's get through some emails because those two emails have made me salivate at the very idea of more
Starting point is 00:28:34 of them. So look after yourselves. Don't pull anything out of a wall. Don't think that just because your PlayStation is like
Starting point is 00:28:41 small and cute and grey, don't put your fingers in it i mean this may sound hypocritical because i do a show with pete donson but don't take the lids off electrical items and put your hands in them i was watching a bjork uh little video of bjork um opening the back of a sony trinitron um tv uh from back in the day on monitor um and i i don't like if you're going to get blown up you're going to get blown with your hands in the day, a monitor. And I don't, like, if you're going to get blown up, you're going to get blown with your hands in the back of a CRT, an old telly, because those things retain, even if you've unplugged them, they retain a lot of power,
Starting point is 00:29:13 a lot of energy. Do you remember the sound they used to make when you turned them on? Boom! Yeah, it was big, big, wasn't it? So, yeah, check that video of Bjork opening up a video of Sony Trinitron, and we'll see you on Thursday farewell
Starting point is 00:29:27 ciao the Luke and Pete show is a stack production and part of the Acast Creator Network
