The Luke and Pete Show - Dirty little car boys

Episode Date: November 21, 2024

Luke’s back from a magical fly-fishing trip to Scotland, but not without drama—his plans were almost derailed by the dirtiest car boys in the game: National Car Rental. Meanwhile, Luke vents about a loud admin-loving woman in the quiet carriage, and Pete casually points out a simple solution: noise-cancelling headphones. Revolutionary, really. And naturally, the lads can’t resist a bit of fashion chat, with Luke summing up Pete’s style as: “Well done, but confusing.”Email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

It's the Luka Pete Show! Luki Moo is with me and I tell you what, we are full of the joys of spring, summer, autumn and winter. And we are both dressed impeccably in our very best Patagonia t-shirts. Is Patagonia an outdoorsy brand, Lukey? Yeah it's an outdoorsy brand that's become fashionable I think. Right fashionable for normal people? It's an even bigger one I like it because it's got limited colors so it's very versatile I think the thing I think I've spoken about before but when I used to work for the

Under the office of the Deputy Prime Minister in in Victoria back in the day Just a chilling sentence Chilling sentence the ODPM Prescott himself He You're the mullet guy he punched him What did he do? Did he throw a potato at him or something or did he egg him? He egged him didn't he? From quite close range. I think he's allowed to. A pure reaction from Prescott.

It's lovely stuff innit? It was also a jab of a man who's used to throwing his hands. Yes, yes. I like it. And we used to have like a logo for the monstrosity that we'd created. A little kind of a sort of social media platform for the public housing market of London. Before Facebook, before all of that. It was like when one of the characters of the office creates a social media thing around buying paper in the US office. It's very much like our little social media thing of social housing trying to get people to move out of London. But housing stock, very, very thin on the ground

back then and still is because of the Thatcherite right to buy scheme. Anyway, we had a logo and it was three or four colours, no sorry it was one colour, it could be printed wherever you wanted right, so it was like a light blue, different gradients of the same blue, it was so versatile, it was cheap to reproduce and it could go everywhere. But we sent it to John Prescott and he personally looked at it and went, well these are not my bloody colours! And so we gave him the, what would be now almost like gay pride kind of you know like on nodding tones with, what do they call it when they sort of gayify their brand for a month and then you never talk about it again?

I don't know, but I know what you mean. It's quite an insidious kind of practice. Rainbow application or something. A cynical practice. Yeah, a cynical practice. It was like that before that, so maybe Prescott was kind of a market leader on that one, but yeah, he just wanted that rainbow flag all over the housing market angle that we had. I feel like we're in Patagonia or Arc'teryx or whatever. I feel quite a heavy burden when I see or bump into someone who is genuinely quite outdoorsy. So I think that they're looking

at me and going, this guy's a fucking tourist. Yeah, see many of them in South London? When I was in Scotland at the weekend. Oh yes, of course. I was in the Lake District a couple months ago and it's that kind of a... I'm not as you know I'm very anti gatekeeper I quite like because I'm interested in so much things so many things I mean I like it when people try new stuff or have something interesting to say so I'm not gatekeeper-y about it but if you are of that gatekeeper type persuasion, particularly younger people can be, I can feel they're looking at me and going,

that guy, he's older, he doesn't look like he spends as much time on the trails, yet he's wearing this kind of gear. I think I do feel that burden quite heavily. I get the sense that, would it be fair to say that the outdoorsy people of the UK aren't as outdoorsy as the outdoorsy people anywhere else because we're such a small nation we're about we can only ever be 10 miles away from a from a you know a motorway service station do you know what

I mean like but in the US that's not true in Scotland in the US yeah but you're near a bothy which is basically nature's off-licence in many ways. Nature's surf station in many ways. I would say that in America and stuff you could walk for ten days and never see another person but you'd see bears. I think it very much depends on where you are. Yeah, of course. I mean, not through Manhattan.

No, ten days in Manhattan just walking around. Can't see anyone. I think that's probably right. I also think that in London you've got this situation where, because I cycle everywhere now, it's actually not so much of a big deal, but if I'm wearing a decent quality down jacket because it's cold, I'm taking it off within 10 seconds of getting on the tube or a bus. Yeah, because it's not built for aircon. I think like you're kind of quite into knowing what the best brand is in the same way that I know what the best

3D printer is. Do you know what I mean? I don't think you do know what the best 3D printer is. You got the 3D printer about three months ago. That's a really bad example actually. But yeah I consume quite a lot of media. The me... The best ramen noodles? Yeah, the best... I would say... The best poker balls? The best place to get parts for the Toyota Century. Do you know what I mean? Like your little bits of knowledge...

Are you even giving yourself that? I know the best place, I can't afford any of them. It's going to fix my life up all night. But you know your bottle's Nalgene, your clothes are Patagonia. like you know the brand, you know You're almost like a because I would sort of go well. I don't know whether those are good brands They're just brands that's every like are Available to the outdoorsy people I suppose

I don't know I just think you seem to be kind of like you seem to know quite a lot about Outdoorsy fashion like usable fashion do you know what I mean? Yeah, I just can't either say so. I mean, I'm absolutely buzznocky. You know I shit, mate, but I mean. Thanks. I'm absolutely buzznocky indoors when I just got from a very young and cool producer, Taylor,

who said that she thought me and you do dress quite well for older lads. I think that was bullshit, basically, but I appreciate her saying it. Yeah, I mean, there's a power dynamic there, isn't there? And it's very much weighted in her. Yeah, what I think to myself is, young direction. What realistic latitude has she got to say that I dress like

shit. She probably hasn't really got any opportunity to say that. You know what I'll be the change Taylor wants to see. You look like shit Luke, I look like shit, we both look like shit. If someone said to me how does Pete dress I would say he dresses well for his own style. I think he's got a good understanding of what his own style is, but I just personally find that style confusing. A boron. You just, you quite simply never know.

And it very much depends on how much time I've got in the morning, and it's usually zero. I think there's a, I would say there's a fine line between these two things, but you are capable of turning up to something where I go fucking hell Pete looks really cool right and fucking hell Pete got dressed in the dark and he looks mental he looks like he looks like he's escaped a facility yeah that would make things easier if you just had like an orange

jumpsuit why don't we just look why don't we just put all of our time in a tick-tock and representing ourselves in the best way on Instagram and our clothes, we don't need to worry about clothes, just wear jumpsuits everywhere. My issue is that my weight fluctuates too much for me to be able to consistently dress well. That's my problem. Right, okay. Right. It's only a year here, a year there though, isn't it?

Yeah, true. True. Anyway, Peter, I went to Scotland last weekend. Yes, you were on a train to Scotland. I mean, how long? Oh, it's great. It's just a bit of peace and quiet. Alone? So I went to visit a friend with another friend and but I traveled solo so I went up on the train to Edinburgh, stayed in Edinburgh for a night and then got a car, hired a car and drove to the best, basically just outside Inverness. Yeah okay. Right. And spent the weekend and then came back on the Sunday so the Sunday was a long travel day but

but to be honest that drive from Edinburgh to Inverness is kind of notoriously a bit dangerous. The road isn't the best. The A9 is kind of a bit notorious. But once you get out of the kind of Edinburgh locale, it's a fucking amazing drive. It's amazing scenery. I love doing it. And if you plan the train journey portion of the journey well I had my Cop of the Atlantic, had my Kindle, had a lot of podcasts I wanted to listen to

even had a couple of shows downloaded and I had a seat book, table seat it was a fairly quiet train, free for a hundred! It was lovely mate! You know what that sounds bloody idyllic in this workaday world Where you don't give yourself five minutes a bloody rest and respite Just a few hours on your bum eating biscuits in first class with hot chocolate I wasn't in first class. I mean when you start doing Edinburgh sort of runs. I mean that first class is a pipe dream, isn't it? Good God.

Good God! The one minor gripe, if I may be so bold, was that I did book the choir coach on purpose, and there was a woman who had about five phone calls on the choir coach. Yeah, that- I'll be honest with you, I didn't say anything because her husband looked hard,

but I was annoyed. Yeah, but I Was annoyed. Yeah, annoyed. Yeah, there was there was a bloke on my train last week Who was very angry with somebody? I think he just got off work You know, like our builders like finish work on a Friday at like 10 a.m It's always quite early than most of the week and that's that's that's a stereotype that is true. When I was a labourer I finished at midday every Friday. Yeah it's great so oh don't get me wrong I would be doing the same and taking the piss even in that sense. That also happened when I was a paint and decorator as well. No because you you misunderstand that though because obviously I was a junior member of staff I could only leave when the boss said I could leave and he left at normally about midday.

So it's hard yeah okay right. You would have missed it. I could only leave when the boss thought I could leave. And he left at normally about midday. So it's hard, yeah, okay, right. You wouldn't understand. Do you know what it was? What? It wasn't straight down the pub, actually. This is a joke's on you there. McDonald's.

It was straight down the bookies and then the pub. The bookies and then the pub, lovely stuff. Oh yeah, and the man was shouting down his phone. He's going, stop ringing me, stop ringing me. And then, hilariously, his phone would go on loud immediately. And he'd go, stop fucking ringing me and then hilariously his phone would go on loud immediately he said and he go I said stop fucking ringing me fuck you he was being so obscene on the train it was brilliant and then he just stopped ringing me and then he put the phone down and the phone would ring again hilarious like brilliant joke and sometimes it would

leave two or three seconds before it started ringing again. Who was ringing it? I have no idea. I need't think it was a lover. I certainly don't think it was a loved one. I think it might be like a business partner or something. But either way. But he did. Why do you feel comfortable using the phrase lover on this show? What do you mean? Lover. A paramour. A paramour. Concubine. And then he finishes off, fuck you, you're fuck. I don't want to talk anymore you fucking rodent And I have been calling everyone rodents this week you fucking rodent Love it. This woman who's on the phone on the train She was obviously going away to Scotland with her partner for a weekend, right? Okay, she hasn't sorted any of her admin out

So she was like going you know put the kids up here you've got to drop them off there at this time. Right. She's basically talking to her family member who's looking after her kids. Yeah, okay. And to me... That could be an email. Yeah, I also just... And it's an email you could refer to.

If you're on the phone... No one emails their family, you mad man. You email your family with this option. Subject, family. Signature, is it? Pete, son. That logo you've made, multi-coloured, Patagonian style. Oldest son slash brother slash nephew. Inspiration. Signature, is it? Pete, son. The logo you've made, multi-coloured, Patagonian style.

Oldest son slash brother slash nephew. Inspiration. I just felt like... To get that train, you have to book it in advance, really. No one's getting on a train to Scotland from London on a whim, not with bags. So you've booked that train, right? You've ticked the box that says Quiet carriage. You have to yeah, right and then you've done that She's on hold it up. She wants a bit of peace and quiet. She didn't foresee her

Shoddy admin she didn't thought she thought she'd have this all nailed but she didn't I would have liked to have gone over to her Stood right up to her and said to her gently but firmly in her face The vestibule is there for you to use. You rodent. I wouldn't say rodent. I don't think I'd say that. But that was a minor drawback to what was actually a very pleasant train. Get in the admin carriage for cryo out. Look this is what noise canceling head... the problem is noise canceling headphones work because they take a sample recording of what's going on outside your headphones and they play effectively I believe an inverse phase version of that sound.

Yeah, cancelling it, that's what noise cancelling is right? And sometimes when you sort of like... You ain't got to tell me that Pete, I'm an audio professional. You can calibrate, disagree, you can kill a calibrate, you can calibrate your headphones by you know holding down a button and it just sort of it goes right. This is this is the sort of place you're gonna be in your life. So let's, because if you're on planes quite a lot, if you're on trains quite a lot, if you are just in sort of noisy cafe environments, you can sort of, you can sort of tune it to different kind of

profiles and what we need is, is an annoying person filter. Do you know what I mean we need we need somebody with a shrill voice just just getting their admin done calling people rodents on the phone etc etc well yeah where do we get that from we need somebody in our life to just sort of I'm gonna I'm gonna press the calibration button now and I just need someone to just fucking bark down the phone about picking up keys and stuff that's what we need. You could use it on me probably if it's next to my company. Yeah exactly. What I don't like about it is you've got a guy working the train who likes

wearing the uniform he likes having the train manager badge he's walking past this woman on the phone they're quiet cows he's not saying anything. Right yeah because the husband looked hard. Probably he's probably made that calculation as well. You should have got yourself a hard husband. Yeah. To go up. I should have actually. So Scotland, talk to me about Scotland. I saw you with a fish at one point. Wow, don't fucking spoiler it. Alright. Bloody hell. Oh you'll never guess what Luke had in his hands next to a beck. A beck? Fucking hell. A throbbing beast he had in his hand next to a Beck. A wee beastie.

Well look, I'll build up to that. So I went up to Edinburgh for an afternoon slash evening on my own, just because I wanted to break the journey up a bit. And I went for dinner. But I managed to get a lovely little last minute table at Tom Kitchen's place in Leith, which was fucking excellent actually.

And because I was staying at my friend's hotel for free, I thought I got a little bit of spare money that I would have otherwise spent, so I went to have a nice dinner. Did that. Then, yeah, so next morning I had to go, oh fucking hell, I forgot to tell you. So do you remember I told you about Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

Oh yeah, you had a falling out and you could never use them again. Well, I tried to by accident. Did you? Did you go on one of those kind of go compairs and they funneled you towards the Enterprise? Well, I tried to by accident. Did you? Did you go on one of those kind of go compares and they funneled you towards the enterprise? Well, I went to the national. Which I didn't know was the same company.

It shares information. Thrifty, I think, like there's loads of different companies that seem to go, when you suddenly rent your car, they go, uh-uh, Thrifty doesn't have a little base here. But I tell you who do, Hertz. You gotta go and see Hertz. So like Little little sub brands out there. They don't have boys power shared is power extended pizza. I

Was gonna go pick the car up on Friday morning at 10 Better much is like an integral part of my plan. I should be up in Venice by like three or something. Yeah, so I needed this car obviously and About nine o'clock. I got a phone call Number I didn't recognize. Hmm, and it's this guy from national rent a car, right? And he says mr. Moore I Look forward to seeing you later on and cars ready for you. Just wanted to make sure you're gonna pay the outstanding Damage excess balance before you hire. I thought what they said. Oh, yeah, you're on our records. You're us 900 pounds And then the penny dropped and I was like listen That's a contested payment that you handed over to a debt collector. You sold that debt. Yeah

Yeah, I can test and I can test it and I will not be paying it So let me know how you want to proceed. Felt quite smug saying that. He just went, okay, yeah, no worries. We'll cancel the booking and we'll wish you all the best. And then that was it. And I was like, fuck, I haven't got a car. And so I tried to.

Oh, please give me the car. Please. I'm not getting a top of Kerridge's house. I called him back straight away and said, maybe we could just do what you want to do. Did you pay the... No I didn't, did I? No fucking way.

No fucking way, it's a good tested balance baby. I went to your friends and mine at the car rental company, sixth, with a T. Right, who they're subsidiary of, that's what I want to know. No they were fine, independent. They're fine, yeah, they're independent right. But they had no availability. Great and strange of. No, they were fine, they were fine. I'm worried, they're fine, yeah, they're independent, right. But they had no availability. Great and stranger things.

Oh, they didn't, oh, bloody hell. No, so I ended up going with Avis. Right. When I got to Avis, the guy was like, he was like a bit of a kind of cheeky fella. Right, okay. I was running the hot, running Avis, went Avis, Edinburgh, out the back of a boot of a car in an underground car park.

Was he? Oh, right, OK. He's got a little kind of set up there, is he? Right. Fair enough. It's a car rental business. Why not live the brand? Exactly. He's got his boot filled with jangly keys. Lovely. Yeah. He said, where you off to? I said, I told him. He went, all right, yeah, you'd be going up here and going up there. I said, yeah, yeah. He said, I'll give you an upgrade to a four by four. You'll need it. The weather might come in. I was like, fucking great. So he upgraded me to

a massive Volvo four by four, which had heated and massage seats. And it was a great limo. Had a panoramic sunroof. Had a lovely old time in the end. It ended up being a blessing in disguise, getting absolutely mugged off by the dickheads at National. My car's got massage and heated seats but they don't work in the driver's seat because they're broken. Stinks of fact. It just vibrates the cigarette ash out of them. It's really dusty in there. So I got up to the place I was staying, friend of mine who lives up there, he had arranged for us to go fly fishing the next day. Right.

Up at a lock in the middle of nowhere, at a place called Dun Lickety. The sort of fishing that is way different to what I thought it was as a child. Yeah, so I wasn't entirely sure about any of it what it was apart from the actual concept which I understood right? Right I didn't even get there to be honest. So we did some fly fishing with a ghillie who's an older Scottish man he was amazing. I thought it was like a ghillie was like a suit that you're wearing to hide in to hide in undergrowth. Spelt differently but yes the same word.

And so he taught us how to do it. It was quite hard, but I bloody loved it. And about 10 minutes in, I actually caught a fish. Amazing. I'll share pictures with Taylor and she can put them on socials, but I cannot tell you. So Peter, who was the instructor, the ghillie, he said to me in an amazing Scottish brogue he said, Luke you'll find when you get into this the tug is the drug.

I mean when you hear a tug on the line. It's certainly been my experience. You'll never go back right, because it's so exciting. And I was like oh yeah fine that sounds good. And what happens is in my experience you get so into the trying to get the technique right, you almost forget why you're there. Yeah. You just say, right, I've got to get this right,

the line and the fly on the end of the line's gotta do this, and if it does this, then I'm actually fly fishing, that's fine. And at no point, if you're such a beginner like I was, that you've never done it before, are you thinking, I'm actually gonna catch a fish here? It's gonna almost become secondary, right? Because it was November as well,

so it's like, they're not exactly biting, you know, they're kind of slow moving. They're not looking around. There's not much wildlife on the surface, which they're going after for food. Anyway, 10 minutes on a fucking quarter fish. I couldn't believe it. It was, it was so exciting. Yeah. And I managed to read it in as well. Um, I kind of remembered the instructions I'd given if we got a bite and bearing in mind a lot of the chat was you ain't going to get a bite because it's terrible fishing today. Right. Um, I fucking got one we got a bite and bearing in mind a lot of the chat was you ain't gonna get a bite because it's terrible fishing today. Right. I fucking got one and I landed it and I got my photo taken with it and I gave it a kiss

and put it back and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Oh hang on we've just been hearing about the place where you can go in Grimsby or wherever it fucking was to fry your own fish and then you're giving it a kiss and throwing it back giving it a tickle. No, you're not. It's catching release at that time of year. Oh, right. Because they don't have the option. So I think there might have been an option if you paid a bit extra. Oh, yeah, I get it.

Yeah, yeah. But I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that it was catching release. And that was we understood that was the parameters when we set about fishing. But there was one bit when I was casting and I got a good cast going, got it out there and was kind of fishing it back in and I looked over to the left and there was a pair of deer on the other side of the lock and it was a beautiful day as well and I was like, fucking this is amazing. This is the stuff and in between their antlers was a fishing rod. A bit biting today, not much fruit on the surface. The deer just went

to me, the tug is the drug. Do you know what, it was such an amazing experience, I will almost certainly spend the next few months telling myself I've got to do that again, and I'll never do it again. I'll never do it again, no. And I'll spend the rest of my life living in a fucking horrible city. It's like snowboarding, isn't it?

Yeah, I don't go in for all that, but I know what you mean. There's a place in, like, there's a few places, in fact, that's like in Osaka, where you go into a place and it's like an arcade, so you know, gachapon machines and UFO catchers and stuff, the usual stuff you see in arcades and you know, Street Fighter stuff and DDR and all that good sort of noisy arcade nonsense, Pachinko and that. And then in the basement you've got this little kind of... It's big, sort of... Almost like, maybe three times the size of a child's paddling pool.

Filled with water and fish. And you sit there... No, it's not good. It's not quite as inspirational, but you just sit there and... See if you can catch a fish. Those fish are... Their roof of their mouth fucked up to fuck. And it's just having a terrible time. I've never once been on the

Wikipedia page for a species of fish and it's gone habitat the basement of Japanese arcade buildings. The basement of a Japanese arcade no not ideal. Did you ever fish or not? No no it's cruel I'll talk about it though. I'll bloody talk about it though Luke. If it's cruel you should be doing your best to fish them out of it. That's a good point actually. Running them to the nearest river. The Dotonbori River. Do you know what it really reminded me of? For those people who aren't of this fine nation in which we reside and have not seen Scotland or anything, do you remember the iconic video game Ocarina of Time? Yes, yes I do.

And there was a game within a game in that where Link could fish in that carp pond. Yes, I do remember that. We weren't fishing for carp, we were fishing for rainbow trout, but it's a very, very similar setup. Hmm. Well, I'm proud of you, look, that's absolutely awesome. It was amazing. I am just glad you didn't get it fried though, and you could tell us exactly what it tasted like. What was fascinating though, before we go to the break, what was fascinating was, so it took probably about six or seven hours afterwards for the photos to come through, right? Right. And so I caught the fish, I put it back, everyone was like, hey, brilliant, nice one, yeah, brilliant. And we're talking about on the

way home, sent a text to the Wi-Fi of Access to Turner. And in all that time, completely subconsciously and by accident, the size of the fish had grown in my mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I saw the photo and I was instantly gutted. Hey, look, that's what Adobe Adaptive AI Photoshop technology is all about, mate. Just circle it. Make a note of that, Taylor.

Circle it. Circle it. Circle it. Why has that guy got massive hands? Make bigger. It was an amazing experience anyway. It could not have come at a better time for presumably you're heading out for Thanksgiving pretty soon with your more outdoorsy American family. So like these stories of man vs beast,

they're coming to you for tips and crying out loud! One fishing session, one fish! Yeah! It's a great record, so David needs an S record! It's Les Ferdinand for Besiktas' record, as it were called! That's what they call me! And in both cases, both men were completely out of where they would usually be expected to be! But the fish weren't racist to you! Right, we'll be back after a short ad break out of where they would usually be expected to be. But the fish won't race us to you.

Right, we'll be back after a short ad break and we'll be back with some, what day is it? It's Thursday, so we'll do some bloody batteries for crying out loud. We'll hook some in. place.

each time I say it, but I've already, explaining that has just made it longer artificially, so apologies for that. Mark has got in touch, hello blokes, I'm sure this is a terrible attempt at getting another entry to the battery daddy, found in some device on another my long suffering wifi wacster to order off Amazon, other suppliers supplies are available they're not.

Does the say disagree on one of them! Zander is a brand new player. Did you call him Michael or Michael? I said Michael. Yeah I think it's Michael. Yeah. Michael congratulations that's a brand new player welcome to the battery daddy. Come on in the water's warm. Lovely stuff congratulations. Moving on to Katie which sounds like a Geordie battery brand. Y AAA. Hello I'm Pete from New Zealand from New Zealand recently a podcast with my boyfriend Gabriel who's a longtime listener of the ramble and look Pete We listen to the podcast most nights before bed as the sounds of to British less chatting absolute shit loves us rice right to sleep wake up

The my boyfriend was bored at work So I was using the touch of gun to see what temperatures various things in the restaurant were. After a questionable reading of the ice well at plus 1.6 degrees Celsius, we decided to get out a second temperature gun to check for accuracy. Hang on, oh you were at work, you weren't in a restaurant, you weren't like eating at a restaurant and you brought your own temperature gun, that makes sense. I'd love that to have been the case. The second temperature gun didn't have batteries in it so we opened the first one to swap them over and discover these beauties Y AAA batteries didn't

think we'd heard of them before so figured sending them in was worth a shot these are a new player are we allowed to submit as a joint entry if not give them give him the credit as he was the one to crack open the temperature gun after all big love to the pod Katie I think we're allowed to... I think it's Katie emailing. I mean, I don't really see what the difference is, to be honest. Yeah, I think if you've got a shared email account, that's absolutely fine. But we're not going to probe that too hard, like you did with the temperature.

I think twice. I'm going to say that these are a new player, just with this very slight caveat that it's very difficult to search for just the word Y in the database. You've got to go with Y-triple-A, I suppose. I think what we just do is what I've done before, which is say that I'll open it up to an appeal process. I'm going to introduce it to the battery daddy on this occasion.

The caveat is the appeal process of that. If you think you sent these exact batteries in before, please flag that. And I will unceremoniously remove Katie and her boyfriend from the list and add you in. In the absence of that, it's almost a bit like when two people get married. Is there any reason these two can't be married?

Speak now or forever hold your peace. For now, you're in, congratulations. We'll hopefully get it through the Lords but there's no guarantee. I would say that the KT's does finish her email saying PS, second temperature gun, also red plus 1.6 degrees Celsius on the ice. I mean that sounds, that sounds okay doesn't it? Does it need to be zero to be absolutely killing everything in its sort of path? I don't know, I don't know how cold everything is. And we're not microbiologists and never will be to be quite frank unless we change massively. Katie has called it a questionable reading.

Mmm okay well Katie's wafting a temperature gun around, I mean who can... I guess if it's plus 1.6 I suppose what we're supposed to believe there is it's melting slowly I guess Yeah and also I mean if it's in ice form you have to know that's mainly zero inside You just have to it's your first indicator surely It could be lower than zero surely Yeeees yes But you can barrage yourself Does it stop? I don't know. No it, no it, no it.

Katie send a follow-up email exactly how this temperature gauge works. Why would it stop? Temperature gun. I'm talking nonsense. I think I need an extra freezer in my house. I've been using the freezer in the kitchen quite a lot and I think I need like a little chest freezer for the for the cabin the apology cabin Jack that's a good idea have you ever heard of an extra freezer yeah I can see the police going through that what would you put in the chest freezer in the apology cabin just like like more veg and stuff there's just more room in them in there like the ones that you get in like in built into a to be quite frank is a needlessly stylish kitchen appliance

like it's it's kind of like rounded on the side so the capacity isn't quite there and we are using more frozen foods lately more frozen You've just got a freezer compartment in the fridge? No no we've got a separate fridge freezer but I do find myself buying a lot of like frozen food. What comes in your freezer already? Vege. I've been catching my own fish down at Waitrose. Someone's earning. Is it a Sorba? That fish? I think we've got some Saber, Sorba. We've got some kind of fish in there. Bassa. We've got some Bassa in there. Oh Bassa, yeah. That's quite a new kid on the block, isn, isn't it? Is it, right? I think it's meant to be a sustainable equivalent of Cod, I think. Really? I believe so, yeah.

The things that they're doing with technology, eh? Just do what I do. Just catch it and throw it back. The guys who were doing the fishing thing, we were doing the fishing thing at the weekend, they were talking about the way of life up in the highlands, the fishing and gaming life. A couple of them were big game keepers. They're the guys who have to go out and shoot the deer when the way of life up in the highlands the fishing and gaming life a couple of them were game Keepers. Yeah, they're the guys have to go out and shoot the deer when they're getting the herds are getting too big and cold I'm not kind of stuff. They're very kind of learned about the environment. They were talking about commercial fishing

Yeah, and they were saying it's absolutely ridiculous that you know, the way that commercial fishing is done now They go out in a boat. Obviously, they've got a fucking amazing like GPS computer radar yes shows them where all the shoals of fish are and they just go over the top of them fucking hoover them up yeah and end up bringing up a load of stuff they shouldn't be catching as well in that shoal yeah invariably don't bother throwing them back and then just start turn a blind eye or whatever it's completely decimating the environment it's hardly a good sport is it really? No. It's not right. Back in the day I think it used to be quite different. Anyway I know it's not

new information lots of people out there will know that already but it was a kind of quite sobering reminder of how much we're destroying the environment with our fish consumption Peter so maybe think about that next time you go to Waitrose. I've got a basset sustainable You just told me that now you change. No, you know, you're um, you're giving me old chopsticks I'm done. I'm what I've got twisted blood Do you know how bad this show has affected my psyche is that when I caught that fish? I was really excited on the way home

I thought shut it could have kept it and tried to get someone to do a home fry exactly. Yeah, just get right I'm sure the I'm sure the fish and chip hostelries around around wherever you were would have done it as well because. Whole fish, just get my whole fish. It's just happy with the custom to be honest out on the sticks.
