Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Luke and Pete shop, Pete Donaldson with you, I'm joined by Mr Luke Emuah and today on the show we are doing a gargantuan. The size, the capacity, the comparison to the nature of this email special could be seen from space god damn it. It is the 15th – Well, I mean the same length. No, no, it's the 15th Wonder of the World because there's been other ones since. But the episode's not going to be longer is what I'm saying. It's not going to be longer, it's going to be shorter if anything because we did a longer show before we recorded this one.
Starting point is 00:00:34 We're just packing a lot in. Just packing a lot in, it's going to be dense, it's going to be like that, you know that green sort of powdery stuff you jam dry flowers in, it's going to be like that. Yeah, that's actually a good analogy, Peter, actually. Thanks, Matt. Cheers. Yeah, so thanks very much for joining us on this Monday.
Starting point is 00:00:50 There's nothing else to do but to dive head first, straight into this email special. Because I'll tell you something now, to give you an update, the current list of emails on our running order section is 25 pages long. Because you and I are not diligent in reading out people's emails, chiefly because I think we just want to shoot this shit twice a week and we can't be asked to read them. It's just a nice little kind of catch-up for us really. Yeah it is. It's totally a business meeting.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Tax-deductible for that reason. Peter we're gonna start I said on Thursday, there's a takedown of you here and we need to start with it. Do you remember? Is this at the top of the running order or have you skimmed through 20 odd pages to find one that gives me both barrels? No, I wrote this one myself. But I didn't even let in so it counts. No, without further ado, let me get into it.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Do you remember a couple of weeks ago, you and I had a big passionate conversation, probably the most passionate conversation we'd had for a while about the idea of rounding up in shops. Yes, yes, yes, we did, yeah. And to be honest, that has continued on other podcasts because I'm still angry about it. What was your position?
Starting point is 00:02:04 Just remind people of your position. My position is that it is charity, not for the sake of giving charity, it's charity to square away some tax write-offs for big businesses. So when a big business, when you're at the till and a big business like SOR Mcdonald's asks you to round up for some kind of foundation or charity, big business like Esso or McDonald's ask you to round up for some kind of foundation or charity. They're doing it because of tax reasons rather than a real need to give a bit back. Good. Okay. Okay. So I'm pleased that you've A, kept that position and B, not read the emails because allow me to bring in our friend and listener, Adam, who says the following,
Starting point is 00:02:43 Hi Luke and Pete, I just wanted to get in touch regarding your recent discussion on charity donations being collected in shops. Pete mentioned that the companies do this as a tax write off, and I want to let you know that this is in bold, absolutely false. Oh dear, this is a shame. As a charge of the accountant, it's something I come across
Starting point is 00:03:02 far too often online and feel the need to correct. It may prevent people in future from donating to good causes. To put it simply, if you were to expense the money being paid to charities, you would also have to treat the income from the customer as income, which would have nil impact on the taxable profits. The real world accounting is simply that the money enters a charity liability account, which is then cleared once the amount is paid to the charity. The real reason companies do this is simply for PR,
Starting point is 00:03:28 both to customers and shareholders, as it sometimes makes it seem they have donated that money themselves. So please don't listen to people on Reddit. Seeing people comment about a subject I'm qualified in has made me realise how confidently incorrect I've probably been on the past and topics I'm not educated in. Welcome to the Luke and Pete show. There are so many videos online from creators that are giving completely false information or a number of accounting topics
Starting point is 00:03:49 It's all well and good listening to them until HMRC decide to take a look at your tax return Love the show and please continue to donate to charities. Oh dear. This is this is Goaling at best I think for me. This is upsetting. I'd like to apologise to Adam. I'd like to apologise to... Well don't apologise to Adam, apologise to the children whose money you've not given them. What? What I've got to apologise to them? I'm not going to apologise to them because... Well I think the bloody decent thing to do is make a decent estimate...
Starting point is 00:04:17 No, let's stop that sentence right now. I've got to go back and all the times you haven't rounded up you've got to pay the piper now. I'll have some what aboutism. What about those little birdies that have been covered in oil by SO. Yeah, what about them? We're still, it's not 1-0. It's not 1-0 lads, not by a far chore. What about all the fat people on the high street because of McDonald's? This is a consolation. Look the smell of McDonald's as you walk past and it lures you in. Manipulative high-streets tactics and you go hands up
Starting point is 00:04:49 I mean, that's that's an astonishingly well written email and not only that He didn't need to add the bit about Seeing people comment about somebody I'm qualified in has made me realize how confidently incorrect I've probably been in the past on topics. I'm not educated in that's not only Him kind of fessing up that's really twisting the knife into me to be honest so I mean I mean this is I mean we could have had a show full of Luke Moore saying that you do need to peel a garlic clove before you see about the email about me underwater when I said we've got to do
Starting point is 00:05:23 it one way and it was actually you're right all along Right, yeah, but that that was a toss-up really to be honest That was just that was the producer speaking inside my body. But yeah, I mean it's it's a real shame But I'm sorry garlic peeling thing. It's the last it's the last It's the last punch I've connected it's it's tragic It's absolutely tragic. I've got so little, you're so well put together mind-wise. You remember so much stuff that your clarity of broadcasting means that I rarely get a punch to connect. And the last one was very much spam.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I think you've been unfair on yourself there, but the most salient point to take from this whole foul saga is Are you gonna start rounding up in the future? As Adam said they are doing it pit for PR reasons I still get my out. All right, because why should I launder? Why should I launder? Why should I launder? Why should I launder SOSPR? Why should I? They pretend that our environmentally so... Aargh! Renewable energy my arse! You're still just grinding up fucking fossils.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I'm not rounding up shit son! I think oil companies to one side. I just mean that what happens if you go to, I don't know, like say Timpson, Timpson, very ethical company. Timpson, yeah, that's it. I mean, they really do stick out like a hobnail, don't they? Compared to the rest of the high street. Big time. Are you rounding up at Timpson's? Yeah, I'll round up at Timpson's.
Starting point is 00:07:03 All right. Yeah, all right. Okay, what about Marks and Spencer? Less good. Less, they've been around for too long. Middleton, Audi, are you rounding up after Audi? Oh mate, I'm giving... I round up by just buying more stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I'm at the till and I'm like, maybe I do need that drill. And I go back and buy that drill. I'm rounding up by buying more stuff and they can declare that as tax. Thank you, Lidl. Thank you so much. I will say for Adam buying more stuff and they can declare that as tax. Thank you little, thank you so much. I will say for Adam, it must be quite gawking because even I as an untrained chartered accountant... By the way, even I who never pay my tax on time. See you later. Adam, you know...
Starting point is 00:07:40 You have not an authority on this. This isn't an investigation is it Adam? Yeah, yeah I would say that like with girl Adam He must be really upset because even I sort of see stuff on like Reddit I see like influencers and like YouTubers and stuff They sort of sit getting interviewed by like these bellends on the couches and stuff And they sort of go yeah, I see this clothes I'm wearing I'm wearing it on the telly so I'm watching on YouTube so tax-adductible. You can't do that. Don't worry Adam I do have a surprisingly expensive accountant who
Starting point is 00:08:19 looks after my my bits and bobs I mean he tells me to pay the tax and after it's ended, you know, after he's finished with that, I very much made the decision to delay payments because I can't afford them. So that's very much, probably because I'm spending too much on the accountant, to be honest. But, yeah. Because you rounded up too much for Esso. Rounded up too much for Esso. But I think it's nice to hear that email from Adam because well written, he clearly knows his stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I'd perhaps love to hear from another accountant who thinks differently, but in the absence of that, we'll take Adam's advice as gospel for now. But it's good to have the error of our ways, by which I mean your ways, corrected in such a convincing fashion. Can we all agree on that, Peter? It's a beautifully written email.
Starting point is 00:09:06 And these are the sort of reasons why we don't read out the emails. We don't get to read out these emails because they're just full of people collecting, correcting our fallacies. So, but thank you. Thank you very much Adam. It's very-
Starting point is 00:09:23 Yeah, okay. What about the next email then, Peter? Do you wanna read that one from Chris? All right, yeah, I'll do Chris. Regarding Jesus. Hello pals, on a recent episode, Luke brought up the time when Pete didn't know how Jesus died.
Starting point is 00:09:36 It's not been a vintage episode for all Donny, is it? Luke, Luke, I think he originally misunderstood Pete's point. Pete knew that Jesus died on the cross, thank you, then came back to life. I believe Pete meant he didn't know how Jesus died the second time. I'm with Pete on this. I don't think I've ever been taught in school how Jesus died properly. Can you please dig into this a bit deeper? On the pod, as I think once again, Pete has been unfairly mocked when he was really just exposing a huge gap in the religious education syllabus. Thanks Chris.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Yeah, does he just float up to Evan like, like Pookie in The Simpsons? Where does he go? Do you want to, I mean, do you want to just confirm whether you, because I was fully under the impression, because I was there and the conversation was my conversation as well, that you forgot that he was crucified. Is that what happened? No, I would never forgot this crucified, but I think I regarded that as not dying.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Do you know what I mean? Because he came out alive so he didn't die. So basically, the reason- At the time I enjoyed the conceit that I didn't know how Jesus died. But I mean, that out of all of the things I've been accused of on this show, I would like to slightly, you know, fag, fag paper distance myself from that, from that, because I do, I do, yeah, I don't think I do know how he died, died.
Starting point is 00:10:59 So why don't you just tell us briefly then, in very, very short bullet points, just the process of how Jesus died the first, for want of a better phrase, the first time as you understand it. Dinner with the boys, Judas. Dinner with the boys, Judas, cross, dies, or did he? Rose away the stone, hello I'm back again, what happens next? Where did he? Rose away the stone hello I'm back again what happens next? Where did he fuck off to? Don't forget the spear in the side as well the crown of thorns all that
Starting point is 00:11:31 kind of stuff. The messaging is I guess hanging out with the bloke out of... why can't I remember that film? Danny Glover. Danny Glover's film. Yeah, so you mean the passion. Mel Gibson's The Passion. Mel Gibson. He hung out on that chair with Mel Gibson at that time in that picture. He's gone mad now, isn't he? Jim Caviezel. He's gone mad. Is that his real name, Jim Caviezel? He's proper QAnon now, I think. Who is? What? Really? The guy who placed Jesus in Mel Gibson's movie.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Oh, right. Okay. Not the maddest person in that picture then. Wow. That's a real surprise, Mel Gibson. I mean, yeah. Someone said there's a kind of a potential correlation there. But anyway, so as far as I understand it, and I'm by no means even a Christian, let alone an expert in this, but as far as I understand it, the reason you haven't heard how he died, quote, from Chris's being properly or the second time is because he doesn't die. The point is everlasting life. So it goes, I think for 40 days he goes around preaching the gospel, teaching his, his, um, disciples, et cetera. So I think there's a couple of, a couple of, um, and a couple of communions or something. And then he ascends to heaven,
Starting point is 00:12:37 doesn't he? The Bible says he ascends to heaven. So very much like Pukin the Simpsons, as you said, that is really what people understand to have happened. But why does nobody talk at like, why are we like they're sending the Simpsons as you said that is really what people understand to have happened. But why does nobody talk it like why are we like they're setting the heaven bit I don't and should be the clowning the clowning the crowning glory of the whole story really it's this it's his end game. It should be the main bit. It should be the main bit shouldn't it it shouldn't be like the yeah it shouldn't be the rolling of the set and then just kind of it's sort of fizzles out a little bit that should be the glorious thing that we always hear about and yeah, I'm gonna be honest and I don't offend anyone
Starting point is 00:13:09 This is just my opinion Doesn't you know don't read too much into it. I don't think it happened I think it undercuts the messaging and that's why they don't talk about it. Yeah Oh, he came back from the dead. Well, he clearly wasn't dead because he didn't die. So have one of them. Yeah, dinner with the boys again? Say again, dinner with the boys again? He's going back to dinner with the boys and oh... Judas, you're not involved? Not after last time?
Starting point is 00:13:34 He's getting frozen out. He's getting absolutely frozen out. Yeah, you can come to the drinks after, but you're not coming to the dinner again. Not after last time. You're not coming to the main thing. And by the way, you can buy the drinks after, your 30 pieces of silver. Thank you very much. Bloody rogue. Right, should we take it a shot? I reckon I'd do some more emails after this. Before we do though, can I just say that I have very regularly gone to a dinner with loads of people I know and said loudly at the start of it, one of you lot is going to betray me tonight. And it's happened.
Starting point is 00:14:02 It's usually the bottle of lager you're drinking. That's the thing that always betrays us. There's some of a break and when we come back we'll do some more. I've got another McDonald's themed one actually, weirdly enough. It's the Lookabit Show, we're back after the ad break. Hope you enjoyed them. Luke, you promised us a McDonald's email for crying out loud. You make me hungry, I've not eaten any bloody breakfast, I had have a bit of fucking pitter and that's not acceptable in 2024.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Is it? There'll probably be a poker ball turn up in the middle of this recording in a minute. This email is from Tim Atwell who rarely and probably understandably for this show has put his surname in because people don't normally do that and you can absolutely see why. Tim Atwell says, hi chaps, I'm giving you a recent discussion on McDonald's. It reminded me of an incident that occurred to me around eight or nine years ago. I was working in central London at the time and I'd just finished at about 7pm and I wanted something quick to eat so I went to a nearby McDonald's. I ordered a standard Big Mac meal, collected it and then sat down to enjoy a fine fast food delight.
Starting point is 00:15:06 About two chips and one bite of my burger in and a well-dressed man in smart jeans and a coloured shirt walked up to me and said, communication is everything and threw his full cup of coke in my face and walked out. Needless to say, I was completely stunned and just sat there trying to process what and why this had happened. Other customers looked around in utter bemusement with one saying the offender must have been crazy. To be fair to McDonalds, an employee saw what had occurred and offered to replace my meal free of charge. I constantly replay this incident in my mind trying to think why this man did this as I had not spoken to anyone in the restaurant except the staff to make my order.
Starting point is 00:15:45 My theories are as follows and there's four of these theories Peter and you will be required to give your comment on these so listen to these very carefully. Number one, I had headphones on and he asked me something and I didn't reply due to the said headphones. Number two, he felt I cut him up in the line at some point although I I ordered through the machine, so I don't see how this could have happened. Three, he was drunk, but it was only 7pm. Four, case of mistaken identity. I would pay a sizable sum to fully understand what happened that evening, but failing this, I would be interested in your thoughts as to why this may have occurred. All the best, Tim Atwell. Could we sort of find a picture of Tim Atwell to see if he looks like
Starting point is 00:16:25 someone that deserves a bit of his Tim Atwell covered in? He's either a guy in a nice suit or it's a tattoo maker who's got a wonderful flesh tunnel in his oh, yeah, I've seen that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think it'd be him I wouldn't throw coke in that man's face to be honest, because it would go through his hole. I think the most likely option The first one I think is one. Yeah, because it gives you a bit of information there communication is everything Yeah, because it gives you a bit of information there. Communication is everything. And yeah, I mean, an astonishing... I wouldn't want to stick around. I'd feel incredibly embarrassed at what's happened. It's very hard to pull off just sitting there covered in coke and getting on with it. I'd also be annoyed, particularly that it was full fat coke because that's sticky, right coke just kind of rubs off it stings but it's not sticky right I once accidentally
Starting point is 00:17:30 knocked an entire can of diet coke into my MacBook and it didn't break. Right okay what because I think if it was full fat coke I think it would have killed it yeah I mean I mean either way things are getting shorted out I don't know why stickiness it would make things very difficult it You make the old keys very I just dried out with the old rice and literally after a few days It was absolutely fine. Absolutely fine. Well, you're gonna try home though. Yeah Kind of incidents of that nature in McDonald's No, I've never I don't tend to I either eat in my car or eat at home. Why does you make everything sound so depressing? Why is that so depressing? Just eating in the restaurant with the other guys. The guests, were you going to say the other guests to the McDonald's is one of the best people watching places to go. I remember a while back I was What was I doing? I was coming back from somewhere quite late and I was on my own and I was fucking starving
Starting point is 00:18:32 So I went into McDonald's and it was a 24-hour McDonald's I thought I could just get this in the car, but I don't really want the car to stink of McDonald's So I just went in sat in and ate in and there was loads of young people dotting around having fun doing their thing And when you get to my age and you look like I do you completely completely anonymous like no one even notices you You're like the gray man. It's great. You're like George Smiley. Basically. Yeah, so you sit there and just watch what's going on It's quite fun. It's quite interesting lips Makes it sound bad licking my lips. I'm just eating. Hello children enjoying I've got a mate who I've got a mate speaking of the George Smiley thing.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I've got a mate who works in quite an interesting industry. There's got an interesting job and it's not public facing at all, but it is fascinating to read what you want to add into that. I'm not going to betray our confidence to say what it is, but he is exactly like George Smiley. Yeah, he's got the, um, it's just, it's just a grey man. He never speaks to anyone, doesn't speak to him. He can stand on the street corner for hours and not be noticed. It's amazing. Whenever I see him for dinner, because we meet for dinner once a month, whenever I see
Starting point is 00:19:34 him, I always instantly think, fucking hell, you are George Smiley. Is he really hard to pick out of a room? He's just a reality of what you think that type of job is. Yeah. to pick out of a room. It's just the reality of what you think that type of job is. Yeah. It must be quite hard to... It's not on Monte Carlo in a fucking Ferrari and James Bond in it, you know what I mean? It's just looking through phone records and bank receipts and stuff, isn't it, really?
Starting point is 00:19:57 So that's what you do, isn't it? That's what I do, yeah. Peter, what about the next one from... What's the next one on the list? The next one on the list is from... Oh, before we do that one, the only McDonald's internet I can think of is that my brother-in-law, for a bet, I think ate 52 chicken nuggets. That seems...
Starting point is 00:20:16 I could do 20, I reckon. But that's just a box, and they sell them in 20. Anyway, I could do 20. Come on, mate. That's not a boast. I could do... All right. How many KFC spicy wings could you do? Spicy wings.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I don't really like the wings with the bones in. I'm much more of a tenders guy. Oh, I mean, come on. You disrespect the chicken. You're disrespecting the chicken at this point. Well, the reason I would say that it's a poor choice for a competition-type eating thing is because how much of the chicken do you have to eat off the wing for it to count? Because a lot of people don't eat the whole thing. They just go and lick up a bit
Starting point is 00:20:48 of a nibble chucket. That to me doesn't count. If it's a tender or a nugget, at least you know you're eating the whole thing. But I would say I could probably, I reckon I could eat, I could do 40 chicken wings I think fairly easily. Right, okay. What, the spicy chicken wings from KFC? How spicy are they? I don't know what they are. They're not too spicy, but I think it starts to gray after you're 15th, and I know that from experience. I never ever go into KFC, but isn't there a place,
Starting point is 00:21:13 there used to be a place in East London called the Red Dog Saloon, and they had these particularly spicy wings, and you had to wear gloves to handle them. Right, uncrispy, they're just kind of like, they've just got the sauce on them basically. Yeah, I wouldn't, I'm not really that good with spicy stuff, with like doing that hot one shot I don't reckon I'd be very good. No, I'd do the first level and then just die, legitimately die. How many wings do you reckon you could do?
Starting point is 00:21:41 Alright, I'd do 20 spicy wings from KFC. My normal order is about 12 so I could order 20 comfortably. You haven't fries with that are you? I could do 30, I'd be terribly unwell. No no no, fries are just a waste of everyone's time really. I'll sometimes fucking mash and gravy, beautiful, beautiful. The gravy in the KFC is really fucking good. I remember back in the day, stacked a day series called Set Meals with Sam and Taylor Drember. And they did a day undercover at the KFC kitchens. And the really fascinating bit in the episode, you can probably still listen to it.
Starting point is 00:22:15 You just search for it. It's really fascinating, but it was how they made the gravy. Right. It's quite disgusting. Is it not just like, I mean, shit's just congealed powder and I think a lot of stuff in the bottom The fry mate. Yeah. Well, yeah
Starting point is 00:22:29 That's why it tastes so good in it in the same way that like In good fish shops. They usually have fish and chip shops They usually have like just chunks of fish in the gravy and the curry sauce. Yeah and it's just like the current yeah, cuz like I And it's just like, that's just... The curry, yeah, because like, I never ordered the gravy from the fish and chip shop, but maybe I should because I think the curry sauce can be a little bit artificial tasting.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Right, okay. So maybe I should go for the gravy instead. Our order is, my order of a Friday night, bottle of Prosecco on the gore, Mad Men on the telly, gigantic cod, a small portion of chips, a battered sausage, a Wally gherkin and gravy and curry sauce. Absolutely magnificent. But the way you say gigantic cod it makes you think there's just a huge fish swimming
Starting point is 00:23:23 around the living room. Make it gigantic for crying. You eat all that do you? I eat all that, I see that all. How much does that cost you because where I live now... So much vinegar. Oh yeah same, but where I live now, I'm telling you, it's the best part of 40 odd quid. Yeah, yeah it'll be getting up there, especially with the extra battered sausage and the...
Starting point is 00:23:43 And usually we've run out of vinegar so I've got to buy the non-brewed condiment from behind the... Yeah, why do they call it that? They can't call it vinegar, no? There's some kind of risk, yeah, it's like the Champagne region or something. There was a... Mark Scott... is it Mark Scott? He's the fellow who does, like, chemistry stuff. He did the whole thing about why you can't call it vinegar. Some people can't call it vinegar. Some people can't, but mainly it's non-brood condiment. Look, I've done something on my computer.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I don't know how I've done it. I didn't ask it to do it. I opened a folder of old images that I'd taken from an old iPhone, right? And I'd put it on an old hard drive because I wanted to keep the pictures. And for some reason, Windows that I'm using now has caught wind of it and it started on my three screens just selecting from random from that folder
Starting point is 00:24:32 pictures for the wallpapers of each screen and every 10 minutes it changes and I've now got a picture of Alan Brazil skiing. And on the top screen I've got a screenshot from some conversation on WhatsApp that Sarah was having with someone else. And the Gronk is on my main wallpaper. You've got the world's most complicated computer. No day goes past where you don't just say more complicated with your computer. The Gronk, a WhatsApp, Alan Brazil skiing, it's just... it really is very confusing. It's really put me off my game to be honest. As you well know, I've also got this folder on the old phone, haven't I?
Starting point is 00:25:24 What's this? Oh folder of shame? The Pete folder. Oh dear, yeah that's a, yeah Luke's got a folder of pictures. Describe what the holding image is Peter. I can't really see because of the Unique Way Riverside broadcast it's footage so you'll probably have to sort of, you'll probably have to let me know yourself. So the holding photo is one of my all-time favourite Pete moments which is when I come back from a mutual friend's wedding and at the exact moment quite a small busy flight called to board the plane, a shampoo bottle exploded in your carry-on and you had to... That's a real shame.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Yeah, that's fucking so good because basically for those who weren't there Pete had to essentially sort out his entire possessions all covered in shampoo which looked a bit like cum all over the place in a busy gate in front of probably 50 or 60 people all watching him do it. And he got more and more flusters that went on. A lot of Greek people, just to go on, what's that man up to for crying out loud? It was just a great peak moment,
Starting point is 00:26:29 because it had all the combination of, it had the clumsiness, it had the flustered. I'm not clumsy. I don't think I'm clumsy. I'm hapless. I'm not clumsy. But you also get flustered easily. I get flustered easily, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yeah. I'm like, this is the last thing. I say stuff like- You hate putting people out as well. You hate getting inconvenienced with people. I call myself a c-word quite a lot. And I say, this is the last thing I said I say people out as well You hate got in convenient call myself a c-word quite a lot and I and I say this is the last thing I needed right now This is basic stuff Donaldson and you're getting it wrong Say you say you shouldn't ever speak to yourself in a way that you wouldn't speak to someone else. Yeah, why like why is that?
Starting point is 00:27:00 Why? If you stub your toe on the bathtub like I did this morning, and you scream under your breath, you stupid cunt, I don't think you would say that to your friend, would you? Yeah, but like, I know I'm only, I know I'll pass. I know I'm only joking. No, but I've seen the output of you as a person and I don't think you are joking. Yeah, maybe I have said it too many times. Are you finding like recently as we get older, like everything hurts more? I think I've said it before on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Yeah, and stuff gets stuck in your teeth more. I pulled my, I pulled a fingernail off because it had a bit of oil underneath it. And, because I was changing something on the car and it just, it bled and it, every time I touch anything it really hurts. Don't put a fingernail off Pete, that's awful to hear, I don't want to hear it. But it hurts more than it did ten years ago, I swear. Is there something, I mean we've got loads of chartered accounters having to go at me being a dickhead, but could we have a doctor telling me precisely why I hit 42 and then
Starting point is 00:28:00 suddenly everything aches and hurts and bursts. I've got no medical training whatsoever and the doctor's going gonna say don't fucking pull your own fingernails off. Don't pull your own fingers off for crying out loud. I'm actually quite kind to myself. I know I'm only joking. By the way, I do an accepted torture technique for myself for no reason. Before we go, I'm gonna squeeze this email in from Mike. Mike says, good evening chaps, due to my disorganised lifestyle, I often end up accidentally stockpiling podcasts and chain-listening to them for weeks at a time. I'm currently doing this with Your Excellent Show. I'm somewhere in June of this year and there have been several references to Luke having lost a fair chunk of weight since the turn of the year. I appreciate this ground
Starting point is 00:28:35 may well be covered in episodes between June and the present day, but I was wondering if Luke had successfully managed to continue his new good habits and if he had any tips for a fellow tall, chunky father of young kids, keep up the fantastic work, lads. Thanks, Mike. Has Luke been able to successfully manage to continue with those new good habits?
Starting point is 00:28:54 The answer's no. That's it from us. See you on Monday. Thank you, Mike. See you on Thursday. Thanks very much for listening. Farewell, all. Bye bye.
Starting point is 00:29:28 The Luke and Pete show is a stack production and part of the A-Cast creator network.
