The Luke and Pete Show - Dogs on a plane

Episode Date: April 4, 2022

On Thursday, we heard all about Pete’s trip to St. Lucia. It’s now Luke’s turn to update us on his holiday antics. He may not have had an encounter with a pear but he did meet a real-life turtle. However, that moment was not as magical as it sounds either. We then find time to read a few emails in relation to things “getting lopped off.” You can thank Pete for that one.Do you have any stories relating to anything discussed on today’s show? Email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the Luke and Pete show. Pete Donaldson with you and Lukey Moore. Now, all last week on the show, we talked about my little getaway. Luke, I'm going to need an update on yours, please. Did anything interesting happen? I know you went to Universal Studios or something. No, that didn't happen. What? You went to somewhere. List No, that didn't happen. What?

Yeah. You went to somewhere. List the things that didn't happen and then we'll see how long we go. It's nice to be back. Happy Monday, everyone.

Yeah, I did go on holiday as well. We went to go and visit my wife's aunt because she has a place out in Calabria, which is an island off Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico. On the way there there we went to Disney World well you say that we went to we went to Orlando for

because the wife I have access to was meeting up with her best friend and it was cool just hang out there and they had a couple of events they wanted to do

and all the rest of it but I was up really early one morning because of the jet lag and I found out that CPAC was in town. Do you know CPAC? Yeah, the Conservative Political Action Conference. And so I just went, but they wouldn't let me in.

What do you mean? It was kind of terrifying. So basically, I'll tell you the story very quickly before I get on to the main holiday. Essentially, I just found out coincidentally they were having the Conservative Political Action Conference, like, 15-minute drive away. Yeah. In the seat of power, Florida. Yeah, in Orlando. So I got an Uber and went to the little town that it was in.

It was this massive, like, golf resort and hotel. I didn't have a ticket or anything. But I thought, if I just go there and say that I've come from London, I really want to go and see what it would be like. Yeah. Not because I am a Conservative. Certainly not an American version of the Conservatives. But I was just fascinated by it. And so I went to go there,

and they wouldn't let me, mate, within like 100 metres of it. It was like security guards with guns and all sorts. I said to them... Sure, they're security guards. Can I register for a ticket now? Yeah, I'll say anything about school shooters. I'll truth the fuck out of it.

Mate, you know what I'm like I even went to a little diner on a little strip mall had some breakfast because I was there

so early and there were loads of people in the lanyards and I spoke to pretty much every single one of them and said can you

get me in and none of them would it was like it was a cult or something well I mean you are just turning up with a British accent

going can you let me in can you get me in I thought that would help me what do you mean it's British it's interesting yeah just say Nadra Faraj's turn up with a British accent going, can you let me in? Can you get me in? Can you get me in? I thought that would help me. What do you mean? That would be like, oh, he's British. That's interesting.

Yeah, would you say you're Nadra Faraj's bag man? I don't know. But the worst thing about it was, I only realised this afterwards, so all the security guys and the police that were there, I know people have their own opinions about the American police, but just for one second, there were quite a few black police officers there. And I was up there kind of saying,

I'd just like to come in. I just want to have a look around some of the stalls. I don't want to, I just want to have a look. And, because I think it would be interesting for this show, for example, and for some other stuff I'm working on. And so it was purely for research purposes, and I was trying to kind of plead with them. And they're all really unreasonable. And I realised

actually afterwards yeah they probably just think i'm a mad why the fuck do they want to help me but they're telling about i want to get in the racist conference let me in the racist conference why would you let me in but the thing the thing about um the thing about those kind of events is that um outside they'll have like there's a fringe thing right do you know what i mean so there'll be like a people who who to be perfectly honest maybe have a conservative outlook and there's no way they can afford to go to the conference it's really expensive but they want to show their support right and within that there's a lot of people who i think are kind of quite quite fringe fringe. Yeah. Literally fringe.

And they set up little gazebos and tents and tables and they make their own t-shirts and they sell them. And they go beeping, you know, firing their bullhorn megaphones at anyone who walks past and stuff. And it's quite mad because you can walk around that stuff because it's not actually in the event. And there's all these people, as you you'd expect you see them on these kind of I think quite low hanging fruit documentaries that people do where they go

oh look at this crazy person which isn't I mean I understand why obviously those people do exist it's not the equivalent of the mainstream at all but I understand it's kind of interesting

to people and there's a lot of those kind of people there so it's interesting to talk to them and because you're British they don't really have any idea of how to how to kind of categorise you.

Yeah. So they don't know. Apart from gear man. Yeah, basically, yeah. They basically think you are some kind of effeminate European. Yeah. But that's fascinating to them though, right?

Yeah, right. So anyway, I started chatting to a guy there and I actually... What a fulfilling life you must have. Like, I really... I just never think of doing that. I just let people just do.

I just never ask anyone anything. But the Wi-Fi I have access to says to me, I'm just too interested in things. I should just relax. Stop being so nosy, which is probably true. Anyway. Imagine what that show would be if you didn't push things along. I know.

I actually started talking to this guy because I wanted to know if the Uber I'd ordered would pick me up from this particular spot because it was quite busy. So I just started talking to him because I needed him to help me with something because obviously he was local. And he was very nice. But almost, the reason I'm telling you this story, people listening to the programme, why are you fucking telling me this? Well, I'll tell you why. Because when I spoke to him from off his megaphone he was like the nicest, most helpful man.

He was like, oh, it's just down there on the left. I'll walk you down there. Just give me a second. I'm just finishing this up and I'll walk you down there. I was like, there's no need to do that. Thank you very much. I think I can find it. But he literally flipped from that to megaphones shouting loads of homophobic epithets at people across the road.

Yeah. And this is what I didn't get about it. It was every time someone went up to them and asked them what they were doing, or there's a police officer there saying that you can't do this. You need to move on. They were going free speech, free speech, free speech. Yeah. A non-conservative person who,

I don't know what his political persuasion was, was on the other side of the road with a cardboard cutter he'd made himself and literally just said in it, CPAC sucks. And the same guy who was helping me out and complaining about free speech was literally every five seconds going to the guy, if I have to look at that sign again i'm going to come over there and beat the shit out of you what rules do we want and you're not even in sea park you're outside i know they won't even let you in yeah i don't know

what the rules are is what i was saying because you keep saying that you want to say whatever you want and a lot of it's really offensive like for no reason but it is. It's mad how and it's scary how at ease you can be with people with genuine, legitimate, problematic views.

Me? No, I mean, not just you. I'm just, you know, I love Texas. I love that. I'm going for

a resume in some remark, but it's one of my favourite parts of America. I think it's, everyone's so fucking lovely. But, as we know, like,

their political, the 60% of them, their political leaders are just insane. To us, they're bonkers. They're absolutely bonkers. And like,

you know, I'll use the example of the guy at the gun range. It was like, at the gun range, old bloke, he rarely got on a subject like,

but, you know, he eventually got on a subject when he you know he eventually got on a subject when he got a bit more comfortable with us that were just fucking they weren't horrific but they were just like

you know Donald Trump's going to save us from the Muslims well they are horrific but like you know he wasn't using epithets he wasn't using racist language

but it was just a bit fucking off a bit fringe a bit off a bit odd and yeah

it was fundamentally racist but he didn't use the words the unguarded words that the man with the megaphone would use um and he only did that at the end of our kind of time together but before that he's like do you want to shoot a magnum i'll go get a magnum from my car i'm fucked off like that's an ice cream isn't it that's it's uh it's some machine day it's a machine gun day i seem to at one point. I don't think, obviously I have a huge amount of love for America and the people within it, generally speaking. A lot of my family are American, as you all know.

And yeah, I totally understand your point. I don't think a lot of Americans don't fully grasp how alien it is for us when it comes to things like guns, for sure. I remember saying to someone before that I think I went my whole life until about, I think I went on holiday to the US as an adult before I saw a gun. Yeah. And they can't fathom that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a different thing. I think a lot of the time people think British and American people are very similar because the language is the same and a lot of the cultures are the same, but it's not at all. And the reason I will go,

I mean, people are probably, some people are probably listening to this going, oh yeah, but it's such a privileged position to be going over there and speak to those people. And I understand it is. I understand as a straight white man, I have a lot of ability to go over and speak to those types of people.

But the reason I do it is because genuinely, you know I'm interested in like American history and politics and stuff. I genuinely just want to understand. I don't want to always have it filtered through these other fucking ways. If I'm going to go there, I want to try and learn as much as i can and i speak and it's not just i'm not just seeking out people i think are a bit off i speak to everyone you know me i'll speak to

anyone i'm very very open to that kind of stuff so it was just an interesting experience and then having said that um the partner i have access to the wife i have access to was annoyed with me because i wanted to do that rather than go to Epcot. But in my defense, in my defense, we did go to Epcot as well. We did all that stuff as well. I've seen a big golf ball before.

I don't care. Epcot is quite good because it's like, it's, I say it's quite good. It's quite interesting because it's not like a traditional theme park. It tries to be more worldly, but it's like this idea of the world is very, this is what Americans think the world is like in the 90s.

So it's kind of, I don't think, for example, I said this to you. What is the Epcot Centre? What does it actually, what's it striving towards? Is it like a harvest festival?

Is it like a, it's kind of like an educational kind of infotainment kind of park. Right. So it's set around a big lake. We traded with the American residents when we arrived on the island, etc. Does this guy give you that? No, it's not like that. It's based around a lake, and every part of the lake has got a different, quote, world.

A different country. Right. So you can be in Germany. Oh, so it's the whole world, right? I thought it was the history of America. No, no, all the architecture will be like German, and then can be in Germany. Oh, it's just the whole world, right? I thought it was the history of America. No, no, all the architecture will be like German. And then there's an English, there's a British bit. Yeah.

Where it's like fish and chips and a pub and Mary Poppins and stuff. It's quite funny. Bad teeth. Yeah. But I mean, that's why I was there. But one of the things I would say is that, you know, I said this to you at the time. I think I sent you a couple of pictures. I don't think there should be lots of wealthy,

young, white people walking around wearing those Chinese hats. Oh, yeah. Do you know what I mean? It just feels a little bit off. It feels like it's not like cancelable, but it feels a bit to me like, I want to say to the guy running it, if you carry on like this,

do you realise what's going to happen? Well, I was thinking about this on holiday because I was walking around with, I've got a tiki mask on one side of my leg, tattooed on my leg. I've got a, I've got a Day of the Dead kind of Mani Calavera from, from the video game Grim Fandango,

which is obviously Mexican appropriation. It's not something I thought about when I was young. Well, that's the way the world is now. And you start to think, you start to go, geez, you know,

Dr. Seuss is, is, is obviously problematic in some of his drawings I loved can I just say I know that we should

always try and be better and I know that we shouldn't be teaching kids things that are difficult sorry we should be teaching things that are difficult

because they need to learn but we shouldn't be teaching them in a way that excludes people and Dr. Seuss appears to have been that and the first thing I thought of when I saw that news about Dr. Seuss appears to have been that. And the first thing I thought of when I saw that news about Dr. Seuss

was your leg. Yeah. It's annoying, isn't it? I'm not too proud to say I had a little chuckle. Well, as soon as you figure out what that Chinese character is on your arm, the better, personally. And that's when I stopped chuckling.

That's when I stopped chuckling. I was going to say, my wife loves Disney and that kind of stuff, and I quite like going there. It's quite interesting to people to watch. Stop juggling. I was going to say, you know, my wife loves Disney and that kind of stuff and I quite like going there. It's quite interesting to people to watch. The Star Wars bit there

is now really good. Yeah. It's like really modern and interesting. That's insanely good, yeah. They've got a trackless ride in there. Oh, they do that?

Like a maglev kind of thing? What? Yeah. I don't know if it's maglev or Bluetooth or what. Bluetooth. Well, can it not be Bluetooth? What?

I don't know. What? It's sort of wheels replaced with Bluetooth. What? It's not. So basically, it's like... know. What, instead of wheels, you can replace it with Bluetooth? What? It's not... So, basically, it's like... Oh, it's trackless as in you can go anywhere?

Yeah. Right, okay. It's got wheels. They've all got wheels. You can't see the wheels. Right. It looks like a big... The shape of it...

It's more impressive than this. Is it like a bumper car? Yeah, the shape of it's like a big bumper car. Right, okay. But it holds, like, 15 people. Who drives it? No one. What? Oh, it just floats around? Yeah. It's amazing. It is really clever. I'm in. cars yeah the shape is like a big bumper car right but it holds like 15 people who drives it no one what oh it just floats around yeah it's amazing it's really clever i'm in all that stuff's good

the whole thing they've done for galaxy's edge where they it's like you're on a star wars planet it's very clever this is like i'm on a star wars planet you shouted i was sat in that over and over again people said look can you stop can you stop please um but after that we went to see my wife's aunt right and then to get there we had to go on a flight to San Juan in Puerto Rico, then a tiny little plane to Calabria. Did I show you the video of that? No. Oh, we'll show you it.

What, a little seaplane or like a bit bigger than that? Mate. Mate. Six seater. Whoa, that's small, isn't it? Tin can. Absolute tin can stuff. It's a folly downy and cloudy, isn't it?

1,500 feet, no higher. Yeah. Roughly about 1,500 feet feet so you get a great view yeah but if you know if a fucking butterfly flaps its wings

six miles away you feel like you're about to do a fucking loop there was it's so frightening it was great yeah there was an airport

there was an airport the international airport was at the bottom of the island in St Lucia we were at the top of the island at the top of the island there's another airport that just does like Grenada kind of flights,

like small kind of flights. That's exactly what this was like. Yeah, tiny flights. But the entirety of the runway next to it is the exact same shape configuration, but just next to it, no partition really, is a big graveyard. So you don't want to see that.

If you're a nervous flyer, you don't want to see the entirety of the bloody uh runway just littered with nuts that's very very ribs and stuff oh yeah yeah this plane it was like you get you get weighed so then they were to where to put you in the plane right yeah bags get weighed and then i was sat right behind the pilot yeah and it's all fly by wire analog yeah um and uh he does all the things himself so he loads you in he does the safety thing himself and then when

we flew there it was the last flight of the day and his dog was there his dog was in the back

so he comes everywhere with me she loves it anyway we fly over to Calabria as you've already

mentioned I think on Thursday there's obviously storms in the area it's very windy area it's really rainy everywhere it's very windy

because it's an island and we flew over the little mini mountains to get to the runway airstrip which is basically just an airstrip with a little outhouse

and he goes on the approach and he goes round the whole thing and back again and then lands so obviously me being me

as we've already talked about I obviously asked him loads of questions why did you do that? I said, why did you do that? He said,

oh yeah, because last part of the day, so a lot of the guys like to go home, like to knock off. So what I do is I just sweep around just to make sure there's no animals on the strip. I said to him, could you definitely see them from that height?

And he was like, well, normally you can. Yeah. And this is a very small dog. I thought about about because the plane was so interesting and so cool to see

because it does all the throttle himself and you're sat just behind him it's real kind of no safety net stuff if he faints or has a heart attack

you're basically dead yeah you're done and he I filmed it a lot he said oh yeah you can use your phone film if you want I filmed it

and when I landed I thought about sending it to my mate. My mate Lee was a BA pilot. And I thought, no, Luke, don't do that. Because I don't want to know what his reply is going to be. And I've still got to fly home in that plane. Did you do it afterwards? Did you find out? I did, but he hasn't said anything untoward, thankfully.

But the plane, because the plane did seem old. Yeah. And he's doing these switches here and switches down there. Oh, look, I was on a BA flight back from London, and I was thrown by the fact that the captain had the same name as our head of studio, Charlie Morgan. Oh, my goodness. Shut my pants, I did.

Yeah. I don't need that. But then it turns out Charlie's dad is a pilot. No, he's not. His dad isn't a pilot. He worked for an airline. Ah, interesting. I don't think he's a pilot.

Oh, he's got a very, yeah. But having said that, though, if you had to pick someone off a staff to do a flight, he wouldn't be the bottom one, not you. Don't point yourself. He wouldn't be the bottom of the list, would he? No, yeah. Yeah, I think he, yeah, he's younger,

so he's less likely to have a heart attack. He's got quite an ordered mind. Very organised. It's very organised. You'd sort of say it's between him and John basically wouldn't you

but I'd worry John had been on the sauce the night before massive hangover only the night before you said I would say Denzel Washington

upside down in a field Calabria's an amazing place it's a beautiful I know I sound like the most privileged dickhead in the world but we were actually

staying at my wife's family member's place and it's just lovely what's wrong with Calabash Cove what is Calabash Cove I won't tell

I just did it oh did you say Calabash Cove Calabash Cove mate mine was called Casa Rosaca Casa Osaka Casa Rosaca

Casa Rosaca what does Rosaca mean don't know don't know but there's loads of interesting animals on Kalei. Yeah? I saw massive four feet long iguanas.

Okay, nice. I didn't want to steal your thunder on Thursday, but I did legitimately see a turtle. There wasn't a pair. Sure. And the only reason I saw it... You are wearing glasses recently. The only reason I saw it

is because I was so bad at paddle boarding, I was in the sea. In the sea. Yeah. Oh, dear. We saw some great birds there's pelicans out in Calabria

that just stay up there all day and fish yeah the pelicans are the big old wattles aren't they yeah they're a different species

they're not quite as big and slow yes yeah and I found out from a local person I was talking to there that those pelicans

they basically dive into the sea over and over again to catch fish that's how they stay alive basically they just do it over and over again until catch fish. That's how they stay alive, basically. They just do it over and over again until the sea and the salt water basically kills their eyes and makes them blind, and then they just die.

What? Yeah. What? I also saw frigate birds on Calabria, which I looked up, and apparently frigate birds are so big, they can only take off from cliffs. They can't take off from the ground. Oh, is it like... They spend all their time in the air on cliffs.

What, so do they just... They have to jump off the cliff to soar. How do they get off the cliff if they walk off? I think they're born on... I think they're born on... So they do one big dive and just keep on going down. I believe I'm right in saying

you never see them actually on the ground because if they are, they can't take off again. Right, okay. And nature's somehow selected that to happen to them. They need to base jump effectively. Essentially, yeah. Ah. Quite good though right

fascinating eh what do you think of my tan it's very well it's about as good as it gets for you isn't it really yeah there's my watch line there look there you go

yeah yeah yeah you can kind of see it if you squint yeah yeah that's the story of my holiday in summary CPAC didn't get in don't know why I was there really

just shit myself on a plane but it was it was fun once i was up there you know once you're up there in that little plane your brain just starts well my brain starts telling me listen you're up here now mate yeah just you might listen whatever happens you're not in control of it so you're just enjoyed a view um yeah it's when you feel a draft on the plane that's like kind of like this mate this had little things that you could open yeah mad innit weird really weird why is that not

why am I allowed to do this on this plane and not the quick plane height height you know that an airline is like pressurised right yeah height on it

if there's a hole in the window in an airline it's a problem there was a man the man next to me who moved places quite late in the flight he sat next to me, who moved places quite late in the flight.

He sat next to me and just got like the free little blanket you put on your legs. And he would stick it over his head, right? And he was using the Wi-Fi on the plane. And he was just typing stuff. But he just didn't want anyone to see it. Which, always a worry. He sat two seats down from me and he was just, he had it over his head

and over his hands and nothing else. And he's just tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Isn't it interesting how like certain behaviour that you wouldn't really care much about becomes different on a plane? It's just a bit,

you become a bit like a Karen. You know, like those women who are just like, I don't like those kids. Yeah. Don't like those kids. I'm going to create a boo-hoo kids I'm going to create a boohoo. I'm going to create a hubbub.

I'm going to call the police. Like the guy was he was just typing something he didn't want anyone to see but you're sort of like what? I'm never going to see you again. Don't worry about it.

Write what you want. Why are you being so nosy? You told me you were being nosy. I stuck my head under there. I just asked him. Sorry what are you doing? Yeah. Speaking of making the scene

so when we were flying back from it was a hell of a journey to get back but the Orlando to London leg I just asked him. Sorry, what are you doing? Yeah. Speaking of making the scene, so when we were flying back from, it was a hell of a journey to get back, but in the Orlando to London leg, we were waiting, and we had already been travelling since like 12 hours by that point. Yeah.

We're waiting at the gate for our, to be called to go onto the plane. And there's these two young American guys there, probably about 20, probably just out of uni maybe. And it was mad, right? They were causing a horrendous scene,

like a mad scene at the desk. To the point of where I would have, I mean, obviously it's difficult for us because we don't work in air travel, but you know, they have to be so unbelievably patient, don't they? I would have honestly said to them,

if you carry this on, you're not going to fly. And I'll just get those big security guards over there with guns and just tell them, you're not going to fly. And I'll just get those big security guards over there with guns and just tell them, you're not going to fly because you'll be abusive. Anyway, they're causing a massive scene.

And they were saying stuff like, this has never happened to me before in my so-and-so years of flying. I'm always flying. I fly all the time. And I'm flying for business. And this is really important to me. I don't want to miss these meetings.

And I have to be, you know, all this other stuff, right? Basically trying to make out they're really experienced flyers but at the same time belying the fact that they actually had never flown before. No one does that.

No one does that. Says I have been on a plane before. The fact that you're already at the gate means that you've got through security and the rest of us, you're not being treated badly, you're there. Why are they so upset?

What were they so upset about? Because they couldn't sit together. Literally because they couldn't sit together. It's the only time you get apart and they were grown adults in the

laughing at them I want to sit together because him and his mate couldn't sit together for like 8 hours overnight overnight

you're going to be asleep and the guy who was complaining the most right he was saying I'm going to they're American like frat kids

right so they speak in a certain way and these cliches normally with these guys do tend to be true he was saying I'm gonna he was they're American like frat kids right so they speak in a certain way and these cliches normally with these guys do tend to be true he was going genuinely mate he was going

I want to work hard when I'm over there and I want to party even harder I should be partying right now but I'm not because I'm sat at this gate

right I got up to get a bag down from the overhead locker because Mimi asked me to as soon as the seatbelt size went off he was two rows behind us sound asleep

what a party animal all partied out mate so he was telling the woman that he needs to party hard yeah he wants to party on the plane it's not what it's for mate

just generally just generally he just parties all the time he basically thought he was Kid Rock yeah anyway that's a little aside

we should take a quick break and come back and do some emails because we've run way over time and the production staff will be fuming with us so don't go anywhere when we come back we'll do a couple of emails

we'll see you in a minute two men like to party hard and work even harder it's a little picture and we're back with some emails and all that jazz Luke have you got an email for us? I do have an email here

so before we both went on holiday yeah we you I say we I'm not taking responsibility for this we you got an email for us i do have an email here so before we both went on holiday yeah um we um you i say we i'm not taking responsibility for this we um you sorry um asked for people for some reason to send in email stories about if they've ever had anything your your words lopped off right yeah fair dues fair dues one of those emails made it into the running or that i've just deleted because it is horrific right i also don't think it's true. So I'm going to start with an email from Grant.

Okay. He says, hi, guys. Good morning, chaps. Hope you're well. Long-term listener. I've emailed a few times, but I assume you found them shit, as they've never been read out. He said, I had an issue slightly related to things getting lopped off throughout my teens where my second toe either got broken and didn't reset properly or was too long and forced back over time to be stuck in a v-shape it doesn't really

affect anything badly except as it was as it's like if you can imagine it it's like a v-shape raised yeah i have constant blisters on that part of my toe and then i sometimes get blisters on top of the blisters and my mum would get annoyed when I was a kid because a hole could be worn through a pair of socks with just one wear. Anyway, I got an operation where they cut out the middle part of the toe bone. Metatarsal, I suppose.

Probably a metatarsal. Put a pin along the toe to help reset it, which would be removed six weeks later once it's healed. Then they froze my middle joint of that toe permanently to stop the risk of arthritis setting in. So yeah, all the best, Grant. He included the video of how the operation works. It's kind of quite, it's weirdly involved.

It involves a lot of drilling and a lot of chiselling, which I didn't particularly enjoy watching. To get like, but you sort of understand, it's all to sort of stop certain things happening later in life. But like, if you're chopping off bits of your of your the knuckle of your toe

and stuff like it's just a bit yeah but if he's if he's like that's his foot there and that's his toe his toe is like that right

all the time unwelcome it's annoying it's annoying it's like you're giving one finger up to society but you're doing it with your foot

inside a sock and a shoe yeah yeah I mean apparently you break your little toes all the time, don't you? Yeah, I, my family have got some horrific

arthritic problems later in life and I think, I think my little finger is starting to go. You have been dealt a quite difficult hand. Terrible genes.

Terrible genes. What, just very, very quickly, just do a whistle stop to all the ailments? I think I've either got gout or a displaced bit of bone in my left foot.

General weird smells and pains in my stomach. Asthma? Asthma. For some reason, sometimes my eye will just go big. Yeah. I'm just aching

constantly. I've got quite heavy sinus issues. That's enough now, man. We get the idea. I went to hospital with chest pains a couple of years ago. Oh, yeah. That was like a year ago, wasn't it? Yeah.

I remember that. It was under COVID rules. I remember someone calling me saying, yeah, Pete's dead. Pete's might be having a heart attack. Pete's dead. I hope not. Do you want to do the email from Andrew?

All right, then. I was watching the Hammerhead tour. Weird, isn't it? Yeah, it's dead. Pete's might be having a heart attack. Pete's dead. Because I hope not. Do you want to do the email from Andrew? All right, then. I was watching the Hammerhead tour. Weird, isn't it? Yeah, it's not great. What kind of tool is that that they're kind of, they're chopped? It's those, you know, those like weird saws that you see in, not DHS, what's it called, like Wicks or something. They have these kind of like, it looks like the saw should go right round, but it doesn't.

It just sort of oscillates like a very small amount. And I always think, what's that for? Just get a different kind of saw. Have you seen those drills? I might have made this up, and so feel free to laugh at me if I have, but I'm pretty sure back in the day I saw a drill that could drill a square hole. How would they do that then? I think there's like a drill bit inside a template

kind of thing. A box kind of... Just like a box, with a drill bit inside it. Right. Okay. That work? But the drill bit would only be drilling

the bit that's drilling. Not the... Could the... Could the square bit oscillate back and forth? Must do, I think, yeah. And just kind of brick, brick, brick, brick,

because there's a smaller membrane kind of breakthrough. No, there's tools for everything. But sometimes tools are more effective than other tools exactly

speaking of which sorry which email do you want me to Andrew Andrew this is the email theme you specifically requested alright then fine

hello gents me once again Andrew from Massachusetts this is technically more of a scooped out than a lopped off but I'm going to do it anyway

I'm going to do it anyway when I was five years old I parted ways with my appendix I was told it wasn't hereditary, but I'm wondering if medical science has changed their stance since then. Me, my aunt and my grandmother are on the same side

of all had it act up and needed it removed. Ah, incredible. Really naughty little appendixes. The best lasting memory, my grandparents driving straight from Florida, taking turns behind the wheel, only to barge in my hospital room and be barked at me, what took you so long? It's the No Appendix crew. I remember there was a video game called Life and Death on the Amiga,

and nobody ever talks about that game for some reason, because it probably wasn't that good. But it was like you're a consulting kind of surgeon guy who would just walk in, feel around the stomach, and try to figure out what is wrong with the the person and then you'd take them to surgery uh and the game was just extracting stuff but my patients i think there's something wrong with my version but the only thing wrong with my patients was appendixes so i would just be removing appendixes from 9am to 5pm. You became the world leading appendix surgeon.

I was just really good at appendix. But it was just kind of like, you'd open stuff up, you'd dab the blood or something, you'd cauterise the wounds, you would stop bleeders and stuff. And it was just, it was fascinating and really fun. But they only ever had appendixes. I love the idea that, you know, because you know that like a lot of medical advancements and expertise comes from societal areas

around that particular. So what I'm trying to say is in a really roundabout way is like, for example, London hospitals, I believe are very well respected. They treat stab wounds. There's a lot of knife crime in London. Maybe the hospital in Jamaica, horrifically, I think one of the gangland attacks of choice was acid

right they became really good at acid burns treatment of that and stuff I love the idea of that being extrapolated out and someone going

so yeah you need some serious appendix work where do I need to go doc you need to go to Hartlepool and Pete Donaldson's Omega yeah

he can only do it with a two button non-optical mouse he can only do it with a two button ball mouse yeah and you will have. He can only do it with a two-button ball mouse. Yeah, and you will have to wait a little bit longer for the game to load up. I'll tell you what, they've released an Amiga Mini.

Oh, I saw that. I thought you had one already. It's about that big, and it's a lovely bit of kit. You get a little mouse, a little joystick, and all the games you can eat. My friend Duncan was really into getting one and he said he couldn't get hold of it. He said they were really in demand

and he couldn't find one. Yeah. I think I saw you on social media boasting about having one. No, Evercade, I think you're talking about. Oh, that's Evercade. Evercade.

Okay. What's the difference between those things? Evercade is a kind of retro, all kind of systems device and the Amiga 500 Mini is just a reproduction of the Amiga 500 Mini is just a reproduction of the Amiga 500

so you can only play Amiga stuff on it no further questions no further questions your honour that's enough time we talked about people having things lopped off
