Starting point is 00:00:00 you ready yeah you ready my little non-fungible token oh that's a really sweet nickname i think yeah i think if you if you called your partner a little non-fungible token i think that's quite adorable you are irreplaceable irreplaceable and Irreplaceable. And artificially rare. Valuable. And I'd love to see you stuck on the blockchain forever. Handcuffed to the blockchain. That's where I reside anyway.
Starting point is 00:00:34 How you doing? It's the Luke and Pete show. Welcome to the show. If you're not familiar with our work, we do this every week. We literally do this every week twice.
Starting point is 00:00:42 This is the Monday, the 7th of February show. I hope you're keeping well. Now it's February. We're hurtling towards summertime, baby. And I'll tell you what, it's going to be hot boy summer. Are you having a hot boy summer? I'm going to have a hot boy summer.
Starting point is 00:00:54 And do you know why? Because Indie Sleaze is back, Luke. Have you been? Because of my nipple. I follow Indie Sleaze on Instagram. What? So I didn't know there was an Instagram profile just dedicated to Indie Sleaze. So it's just like a kind of...
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah. It's pictures from the noughties, basically. Yeah. I'm quite cynical about it, to be honest. But I read an article on Vice. Sorry. Bless you, by the way. I'm going for a three.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Go on. Lovely stuff. That's the hat. That's my three. That's my Empire Strikes Back. I read an article on Vice about indie sleaze. And it was one of those typical things where, you know, I don't know this because I don't know who wrote it.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I can't even remember the name of the person. But it really dripped with, I wasn't quite old enough to be around when this happened. So it looked like it was really cool. So I reckon it probably was really cool. P.S. have you seen this Instagram page? All the photos of people looking really cool in that time. We're probably talking about, I don't know, maybe 2004 to 2010,
Starting point is 00:01:56 maybe, something like that. But I happened to have the unfortunate honour of actually living through that, and it was fine. Yeah. But also, Luke, I'm slightly weaker-willed than you, honour of actually living through that and it was fine yeah but also Luke but I'm slightly weaker willed than you and I really have to say I'm pumped
Starting point is 00:02:14 for the fact that something that I lived through and wasn't like every other kind of shitty movement that no one gives a shit about I was almost kind of there you were a part of it? I was a part of it. I was in the holly. Your second album's amazing.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I was working for XFM. You know, I was in the middle of the... And you're right, it was okay. And it's partly why I don't like it. Yeah, exactly. No, it wasn't. But what I was just going to say, and you're absolutely right,
Starting point is 00:02:40 you were one of the least tangential parts of this, so I will let you have your say, but I do really want to say that the Instagram feed itself is quite disappointing. Is it, right? It's not even all big artists. It's just like, here's some of my mates. Back in the day.
Starting point is 00:02:57 I don't know who runs the account. Here's the keyboard. It's from Paul Tiger Tail. Not even that. Look what he's up to. Not even that. It's just people with big hair. You're not even on nodding terms with
Starting point is 00:03:06 Jolene and the Jing Jang Jong. I used to follow that guy from Jolene the Jing and the Jing Jang Jong. He's an actor now, I think. Not on Twitter,
Starting point is 00:03:14 not on Instagram. Used to follow him around a club for some reason because he looked cool. Weird. Then you talk to him, not cool.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I've not even seen any long blonde content. He was in the Pipettes. He was, yeah. He's an actor now. He certainly did become an actor. He did a bit. He did a bit. He was in Neff and Barley. I long blondes he was in the pipettes he was yeah he's an actor now he certainly did become an actor he did a bit he did a bit
Starting point is 00:03:28 he was in Neff and Barley I don't think he was a great guy I don't think he was a great guy no a friend of mine this is getting really tragic now but a friend of mine knows slash knew him
Starting point is 00:03:37 not a great guy okay but you were involved but look but not a great guy you've got to be very careful about what you say when you say not a great guy
Starting point is 00:03:44 just not a great just not not a great guy but none of us can be very careful about what you say when you say not a great guy. Just not a great guy. But none of us can be great guys. Not many of us can be great guys. That's a really good point, because I think today... When you suggest not a great guy, it sounds bigger than it is, isn't it? Exactly. And I should make that clear.
Starting point is 00:03:56 I think these days, because, you know... Don't care for him. You can't say anything these days, right? Because it makes out like I'm saying he's done something wrong. Problematic, yeah. I don't know if he has or not. I've got no clue. I'm just saying if some people...
Starting point is 00:04:08 Just say he hasn't then. He's done nothing wrong. But sometimes... But we have heard the journaling that you've done wrong. If I say to you, oh, do you know so-and-so? Yeah. And you like, and you'll probably go, oh, yeah, yeah, nice guy. No one ever says, oh, yeah, I know him.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Bad guy. Right, okay. But there's got to be a scale here. But why does no one say bad guy? Not anything wrong just not a great just not a great guy right okay
Starting point is 00:04:28 fair dude because people say it about me that is true and no one else what's looking more like I've heard he's a bad guy and I was like
Starting point is 00:04:34 I'm not he could be bad he could be good I don't know do you know what the worst thing about that he went with him for 12 years
Starting point is 00:04:39 the worst longer than that the worst thing about it isn't even that I would like it if people said that sometimes they'll just say oh yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:04:47 he's actually alright what were you expecting yes what were you expecting so I'd like we're married I'd like to be as sexy
Starting point is 00:04:55 as a lawyer's letter you know when you read a lawyer's letter and it's like well that's sexy uses proper words and it's got a bit of menace to it it's got threats
Starting point is 00:05:02 it's professional oh it gets me hard. I want to be as sexy as that, so I want people that sort of go, he's bad news. Bad news Brown. Bad news Donaldson. Bad news Donnie. That's what I want. You know Pete Donaldson? He's bad news. I think
Starting point is 00:05:18 that'd be really cool. I think I was bad news. And he's as sexy as a lawyer's letter. That's a really good simile. Simile. Not a metaphor. I was a bad boy once. Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Not a bad boy for life then.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Fly tipping. No, I'm only joking. Cow tipping. Holler tipping. Do you remember getting kicked out of the Capital Radio Christmas party? I didn't. Swinging on the chandelier, baby.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Swinging on the chandelier. Yeah, kicked out. I've got no respect for that because I'm a big fan of... It's about eight o'clock. It wasn't even on. Fine. What am I going to do now? Too big to swing on any chandeliers.
Starting point is 00:05:53 That's what they said. Were you there? You just wish that you were... I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think. Is there a music video where someone swings on a chandelier? No, there isn't. Is there...
Starting point is 00:06:02 There's that Sia song that's about swinging on a chandelier here. Don't know it. And then there's, uh, chandelier here. Don't know it. Isn't that about, are you taking the piss? No. Sia, is that the one with the hair that goes around the face? I know she is, I've heard the song. She sang a song called chandelier here. Right. On a chandelier here. I think it's about swinging on a chandelier.
Starting point is 00:06:20 But then there's the song uh, Wrecking Ball. Yeah, great tune Ball by Cyrus. And I'm sort of confusing those two. And for some reason, I'm thinking of the little girl swinging on the chandelier. She's not, she's dancing around.
Starting point is 00:06:31 So where have I got that in my head? I've got Only Fuzz and Horses. I've got Sia and I've got Miley bloody Cyrus in my head. What contribution did you make to the Indie Sleeves movement of 2004 to 2010? I did not have long hair. I shaved my head. I said, I'm not getting involved with that.
Starting point is 00:06:47 You all look like you've got knits. And to be honest, the way you carry on, you probably will have knits. You must have DJed an event or two. I've DJed an event or two, yeah. I did my fair share of Hoxton-based Sony Ericsson launches. I've been to Hagerston. These white pumps have been to Hagerston a couple of times
Starting point is 00:07:06 yeah I do not want to see skinny jeans back because my testicles are I don't know whether they'll keep them in check
Starting point is 00:07:13 because my testicles as I get older there's a thing where testicles go down as you get older I don't think they've gone down
Starting point is 00:07:20 but they're certainly more creating more mischief when I sit down they keep on just popping under my body. Can I make two
Starting point is 00:07:27 testicular points? One for each ball if you like. One is that you're absolutely right read testicles as you get older as a man. It's absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And that makes me think of a guy who I used to know at uni who could basically put a pint glass under his balls and the balls would hit the bottom of the pint glass.
Starting point is 00:07:46 That's long. He was like our age, like 20. So what's he doing now? He'd need them cut off, wouldn't he? I'd just be like, look, if I'm not using them, wrap a little porcelain rubber band around it. That brings me to my second point. Would you then take the deal of doing what they do to cats, for example?
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah. Where they remove the nuts, but not the sack. Yeah, I've got no use for them. Just get rid of them. Get rid. Don't need them. They're only problems, aren't they? What about your lovely partner?
Starting point is 00:08:13 Maybe she's got something to say about that. I mean, I'm fairly certain that people over a certain age, having kids probably isn't biologically happening. So you don't need them. Don't need them. So you're basically officially declaring on the Luke and Pete show, the breaking news they're going to PR is your nuts are useless. They're not useless.
Starting point is 00:08:34 They probably are useless. The way I've whacked them about. Hid them in things. So you've always been really the waffle iron really skinny tight jeans yeah or slapping them about yeah it's not a great environment
Starting point is 00:08:48 for them is it it's just there needs to be a middle ground they were battery hens now they're free range yeah
Starting point is 00:08:54 and either way they're just causing bother so going back to get them off get them off going back to Sony Ericsson launches I had a club night
Starting point is 00:09:03 at Brixton Windmill did you now I was just I was just I was just more like street than you what was that indie yeah but hedge your bets too much
Starting point is 00:09:10 you need to be you know you need to be at the I DJ'd at Yulu I DJ'd at Yulu you need to be at the Infinity Club in Mayfair
Starting point is 00:09:19 no I never went there Frog Frog at Mean Fiddler that was a big one oh in yeah but that was yeah but that closed down quite... I think that was before the old Electro Clash super, super bollocks.
Starting point is 00:09:31 It was on the cast. So I was at Polydor Records when Klaxons were on it. Right, okay. So I was... Neat label, mate. Pete, I was 30 feet from Stardom. Major label, not main label. No one says main label.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I don't fucking know. As I said, I liked Paul Tiger label. I don't fucking know. As I said, I liked Paul Tiger Tale. I don't know music. But you stayed true to Pulp all the way through, right? Yeah, I love Pulp. Was there a time when it wasn't cool to listen to Pulp during that scene? Well, someone made the point that Pulp's first appeal session was 81. 1981.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Cocker is old. Amazing. No, but like 81. They were going for that amount of time before their breakout hits. His and hers was like 93 or something, 92. That's an incredible time. So I think Cocker will be 60 next year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:20 There's a bank or television that I like who, I mean, people probably know who they are. They had a record called Marky Moon, which became massive. Can't quite remember what exact year it came out, but I found something out about them a while ago. It came out in the late 70s, maybe 77. Actually, I think it did come out in 77, around the time punk kicked off. They're an American band. And I think they had that album ready and done for like four years and no one would put it out.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Really? And they just stuck at it. Yeah. And it eventually got put out. It's seen as an all-time classic now. So I think it can take a lot longer than people think. I mean, there's probably a lot of bands whose third, fourth albums are the ones that have exploded for them.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And then around that time, you're talking about that kind of early 2000s time, it was very much a firework band thing, right? Yeah. About the bravery. And everyone go, they're amazing, they're massive. And their first album would be big and then they would just disappear as quickly as they came up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I sort of look at like, you know when you see bands that are so iconic? Like, you know like Bad Brains, where the lead singer will start a set by doing a fucking backflip. Yeah. And you're like like if they're not massive why are they not massive because the lead singers just done a fucking backflip yeah like to kick things off yeah you sort of think you see these bands that are just so incredible so together
Starting point is 00:11:35 but i remember seeing you know i remember i said about before like the only gig that uh was like big band in small venue before they were kind of famous a little bit was the killers in, in, in, in the underworld. Oh, what's that one? Offway up bloody Camden high street.
Starting point is 00:11:50 The electric ballroom. No further than that. Dublin castle. Further than that. No, the other way. It doesn't matter. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:11:56 it doesn't matter. No, no, no, smaller. Anyway, maybe 50 people watching the killers and they were together. They would, they were, They were a stadium band then.
Starting point is 00:12:08 And you could sort of tell that they were going to absolutely fucking blow up. And they did. But you sort of go, they already saw together. But there are some bands that were shit and continue to be shit, like Kasabian. And they're on the main stage. You sort of go, this band is shit. No, but I think that's down to perspective. You reckon? Yeah, because I can remember when Kasabian. And they're on the main stage and you're like, this band is shit. No, but I think that's down to perspective.
Starting point is 00:12:26 You reckon? Yeah, because I can remember when Kasabian first came out and that was before I moved to London. So it was pre-2004 and they were doing really interesting things. They were sending out, we would buy seven inch vinyls of Kasabian
Starting point is 00:12:38 before they had an album out. And I'll tell you, I'm not trying to say I knew them before they were popular, but we genuinely, me and my friend Duncan, we used to buy the Kasabian 7 inches
Starting point is 00:12:45 because they used to send out bits of merch with it and some of it would be like proper like subversive graffiti stencils and stuff and people would go
Starting point is 00:12:55 around spraying them and it was quite interesting and their songs were quite dark and quite interesting and then of course they went completely like that other way
Starting point is 00:13:03 I don't agree that Kasabian's a great example I know what you mean I personally don agree that Kasabian's a great example. I know what you mean. I personally don't agree Kasabian's a great example of that. I just look at them on a main stage and say, this is second stage. The main man's coming back with a solo record, isn't he? That will be good. What? Is he? I think so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Wow. I'm going to use the word hubris. Hubristic. Old Serge is doing all the main stuff normally, isn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. There we go. I wonder how that's going to be received fully, you would imagine. I would have thought so.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yes. But then some people will listen to anything. What I was going to say to you was, it's been quite fashionable among the young'uns to be 90s now, for a while now, hasn't it? They dress like that. If you walk past a college near where we record
Starting point is 00:13:46 there's like 80 year old kids yeah they're all dressing in the kind of the stuff that we were dressing in in the mid 90s do you think the indie sleeves thing
Starting point is 00:13:53 will come back I think it's very much yeah coming back skinny jeans big hair can I just say v-neck tops for the men the hair
Starting point is 00:14:01 the hair was in one way quite cool if you had the hair for it it looked good yeah just a lot of volume just a lot of Tops for the men. The hair was, in one way, quite cool. If you had the hair for it, it looked good. Yeah, just a lot of volume. Just a lot of... A lot of work goes into it. A lot of people didn't know that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Just a lot of hair. And then that kind of sussured into that kind of, like, American emo hipster kind of stuff. Yeah, crossover. Crossover emo on that side, electro on that side. You had the horrors all look really good. Do you remember how good they looked the horrors they did
Starting point is 00:14:25 they looked but they didn't really have the track did they they didn't have the track that were going to bring them through they have endured they're still playing the stuff
Starting point is 00:14:31 so they've still got a massive rabid fan base they developed into a really thoughtful interesting band I saw them at York Hall in Bethnal Green
Starting point is 00:14:39 way way back in the day the guitarist makes his own guitar pedals does he and I think Ferris Badwines are producing that and maybe even
Starting point is 00:14:45 an actor as well. Anyway, anyway, no, that was on the running order. I told producer Roy I hadn't looked at it and that's now come to pass.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Before we go into a break, Pete, did you want to talk about Donald Trump? Apparently you do. Oh, yeah, I was going to do that. But I sprung that on you.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yeah, you did. Sorry, I was going to give you something else. I'll tell our listeners what it's all about. So we were obsessed for a while with the way that Donald Trump said China, right? Yeah. China.
Starting point is 00:15:11 China. China. We used to say that quite a lot. And that became a thing over Christmas in my family's house, actually. We kept saying it. My sister, my brother-in-law, the wife I have access to, my parents kept saying China, China. And then you said to me the other day, that's all good and everything, and it's funny, but have you heard the way that Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:15:29 says the word pedophilia? Now, Americans say pedophilia, so it's slightly different, but he says that in the most ridiculous way imaginable. This actually came from a Twitterer by the name of Childish Mozart. Mozart? Mozart. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And, yeah, just listening to the new episode of The Luke and Pete Show, you and Luke mentioned Trump sounding camp. I was wondering if you'd ever heard the way he pronounces pedophilia. Start off with white supremacy, I denounce it. You start off with something else, let's go. Keep asking me these questions. I do have one more in this game. Let me just tell you,
Starting point is 00:16:05 what I do hear about it is they are very strongly against pedophilia. With complex words. Make him say it again. He's really got a kind of, he really leans into it. They are very strongly against pedophilia. It's like it's been dropped into his brain by someone else.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And he's said it for the first time. Yeah, it's like it's thick, deep thick or something. It's like sort of pedophilia. When like theatre critics would talk about, I can remember like people doing a retrospective on Laurence Olivier, right? And I remember some theatre critics saying that, you know, when Laurence Olivier did Shakespeare, it was like he was saying the words for the first time.
Starting point is 00:16:44 It was the first time he ever thought of them, not that he was reading them. That's the same with Donald and the word pedophilia. It's the first time he's heard. It sounds like he's learnt that word today and he's like, I'm going to get that in later. Pedophilia. Do you remember when,
Starting point is 00:16:59 was it just John Fashionew's daughter? Or someone? Yeah. No, it wasn't John Fashionew's daughter. Right. It was Alexandra Burke, right? She's John Fashionew's daughter? No.
Starting point is 00:17:10 No, John Fashionew's daughter did this in broadcasting for a while, so I had to call the cops. Right, okay. But Alexandra Burke, she was on This Morning or something. She had been to the US doing some work. She'd come back and she was on This Morning. And I think the phrase was the elephant in the room right or something like that it was one of those kind of well-known kind of um idioms and um and
Starting point is 00:17:31 but she clearly thought that she was the only the first person to be bringing it to the uk right she's like a really big run-up at it didn't know that everyone already knew it and and let's just say it was the elephant in the room something like you know so um yeah i just felt like after a while to me that you know as i say in the us it was something of the uh elephant in the room and everyone just glossed over it and you could see her being like visibly like that didn't land that's donald trump and pedophilia could you explain elephant in the room please alexander yeah oh what a great idiom. What a great idiom. Fantastic. Oh, speaking of people getting things wrong, Luke,
Starting point is 00:18:08 I'm a big fan of Cameo, you know, the site that you can go on. You can go out and pop up financially, I would say. Exactly, yeah. I spend all my pocket money on getting celebrities to say stuff of my bidding. Now, there is a fellow that gets advertised to me on Facebook Marketplace, inexplicably. It's like a website like Cameo called Memo, and they basically do a similar sort of thing for B-grade celebrities.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Is it the one Matt Letiz is on? No, Matt Letiz is on full Cameo, as is Mark Crossley. But for some reason, they always sort of sell me in on this particular profile on Memo. And it's a character called Heisenberg Breaking Bad. So it's a man who looks, as you can agree, looks just like Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. And presumably can't call himself Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad because it's Walter White or whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So you've got to say Heisenberg, Breaking Bad. And he looks good, but you will not believe how this man sounds. Let's have a look. Hi, Takuma. Congratulations on your
Starting point is 00:19:19 success. Your parents said to me that you are a big fan of Breaking Bad. I know that you are going to Albuquerque in April with your dad. Who has been there? Your dad can't wait to do the Breaking Bad tour with you. Jesus Christ. He needs to be doing not an audio medium.
Starting point is 00:19:39 No, I know. He shaved his head for this as well. He looks really good. Like, he does look very good. They've also used as close as you can get to the theme tune without breaking the copyright. Yeah, yeah. A lot of them, he's just sort of going,
Starting point is 00:19:50 I hear your friend has got a God don't make meth with me in the desert. That's just so shit. I would give it good luck with your new book. Wishing you all the best. And I hope it's a bestseller for you. It genuinely sounds like my barber.
Starting point is 00:20:12 He sounds like the guy who cuts my hair. Shout out, Eric. But if you'd like to go and get a... At these fan conventions and stuff, like Comic Con, Dragon Con and stuff, there Comic-Con, Dragon-Con and stuff, there are people who do amazing cosplays of characters.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Oh, yeah, incredible. But they never speak. There's a famous guy who looks amazing. He looks exactly like Leonard Nimoy of Spock. And he's, honestly, mate, he's like seven foot tall and rake thin. Nice. And he looks perfectly like him, and he just never speaks. Presumably because he doesn't sound
Starting point is 00:20:45 anything like him yeah perfect there's a girl who does the girl from the ring yeah but that girl doesn't talk anyway
Starting point is 00:20:50 but you know what I mean so what he needs to be doing is he needs to be he needs to pick something that doesn't talk yeah or just don't fucking talk
Starting point is 00:20:57 yeah but it's hard to I don't know who's paying money for that I love it when you just went pedophilia pedophilia oh yeah anyway let's have a break we've got time for a break I love it when you just went, pedophilia. Pedophilia.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Anyway, let's have a break. We've got time for a break, I think, so let's go and take one now. When we come back, we will look at some of the... Apologise for everything we've done. Yeah, look at your emails and read out some of our faves. Don't go anywhere. We'll see you in a sec. All right, then.

Starting point is 00:23:03 interesting story behind Stepton and Son, but I can't remember any of it. Good stuff. I think they might not have liked each other in quite a vociferous way. Well, I mean, look, it very much lends to the...
Starting point is 00:23:15 You are definitely Harold. But do you not think that there would probably be this thing where, you know, like Golden Girls, where Betty White was younger than... Like, you know, the oldest lady was actually younger than the youngest lady
Starting point is 00:23:26 in the fucking TV show whatever in real life IRL what? the old lady in Golden Girls the oldest woman you know the oldest
Starting point is 00:23:33 old one who's supposed to be everyone's mum or something right she was about as young as the youngest one right in real life
Starting point is 00:23:39 so why don't they just find someone who's older then? because she looked old so it's fine right okay I mean it's probably easier to work with a younger actor find someone who's older then? Because she looked old, so it's fine. Right, okay. I mean, it's probably easier to work with a younger actor than someone who's actually 85.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Yeah. Speaking of that, actually, I told you about the wife I have access to's family's home and their next-door neighbour is a lady who's of some considerable age, Madeline. Bless her, she's lovely. She's 103 now. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I said to the great LC, Madeline. Bless her. She's lovely. She's 103 now. Amazing. I said to the great LC, I said, is she the oldest person in the state of Connecticut? And he said, he said he wasn't sure, but I really wish we could find out because that's the main,
Starting point is 00:24:15 and it also got me, sorry, Roy, we will, Ray, not Roy, we will come to your email, but I actually want to talk about this
Starting point is 00:24:22 because it then got me looking into the oldest living, the current oldest living person. Right. Because I was thinking, right, if she's 103, I've never heard of anyone personally that I've ever known,
Starting point is 00:24:34 even tangentially, being that old, right? Yeah. Is that 114? Have you ever heard of anyone being that old? Yeah. That you know, though? Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:24:43 God, no. I think my oldest is my nan. She's 96. So Wikipedia's got the top 100 living oldest people, right? I wonder if Madeline's getting anywhere near that. Guess how old you've got to be to be in the top 100. To get in the top 100 in the world. Top 100.
Starting point is 00:25:00 105. 114. Jesus. So there are over 100, 113-ers. And guess how old the oldest ever person was. Yeah, but is it disputed, though? No, it's confirmed, verified. 116.
Starting point is 00:25:18 122. Shut up. So when you got to 100, you've still got 22 years. 22 years. You've got second puberty so I think I'm right in saying that Finn who works with us basically when he was born
Starting point is 00:25:32 she was 100 yeah that's amazing but obviously then she's not living she died in 1997 the oldest living person is a Japanese woman by the name of Kane Tanaka who is 119.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Is she disputed? I want to say she was disputed or something. Confirmed. Right, okay. There's a space on Wikipedia for confirmed and then like rumoured business.
Starting point is 00:25:53 But then when you get into the rumoured stuff, it makes you ridiculous. This man's a thousand years old. Because I remember being in a taxi in Japan and there was this guy who genuinely looked desiccated.
Starting point is 00:26:02 He looked about 90 and he's driving, tooting around in his taxi. So driving fucking fast as well. And he looked really old and his, his, his.
Starting point is 00:26:09 It'd be fast of him because time moves quicker as you get older. So imagine how fast he thought it was. He's flying a spaceship. He, his,
Starting point is 00:26:15 his, his date, he had like his kind of date of birth or something on the, you have to have like your little card up and stuff and your date of birth
Starting point is 00:26:23 written on there. Where was this, sorry? In Japan. Yeah, okay. yeah okay but it was so it was like 30 so the date said 35 I was like
Starting point is 00:26:29 you were born in 1935? yeah that's incredible my grandad is 19 he was born in 1931 but he so it wasn't actually
Starting point is 00:26:36 he was he just looked fucking old but the 35 was in the age that he was in as in the emperor ship so the age goes
Starting point is 00:26:43 from when the emperors like the different ages yeah I thought you were going to say he was in as in the emperor ship. So the age goes from when the emperors whether it hit like the different ages. I thought you were going to say he was actually 35. So what? So like the Showa era started in
Starting point is 00:26:51 I want to say the 70s I don't know. But like they certainly they started at a certain time and your dates go from that time. Sounds like a weird way
Starting point is 00:26:59 of doing it. Yeah. It's over complicated. Silly. Okay right. You've got a calendar guys sort that out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Okay. Stop being obsessed with blood groups. Did Japan use the same calendar as us yeah okay um ray our friend ray sorry thank you for being patient ray um he wants to follow up on the missing episode as i've said um because brett from leeds first flagged it with us and asked whether we had like done that on purpose or'd got rid of it for some legal reason, and we haven't. Ray says, I can confirm Brett from Leisure is correct. Episode 140 has been removed. I never got to hear this.
Starting point is 00:27:33 It had been removed by the time I got to it while reviewing the back catalogue. Cheers, Ray. I don't even remember. Basically, it was the Horses Can't Vomit episode because Brett got in touch with us. Episode 140. I can't even read out the synopsis because it's not on there. And this kind of stuff doesn't really happen to us
Starting point is 00:27:51 because we're an adult, fully professional production company. Why has it disappeared? I don't know why that happens, but if anyone would like to take up the mystery, perhaps speak to someone at This American Life, or I'll tell you a do something on there, Heavyweight would.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Who are Heavyweight? They, they, they're like a, that was really cheeky. It's just surprising, I thought you'd like them. Right. They do episodes, about things,
Starting point is 00:28:13 innocuous things, that are actually quite interesting. Yeah. Do you want to, do you want to see the, do you want to see the description? Yes, go,
Starting point is 00:28:19 go for it. It's true, horses are almost physically unable to vomit. Pete brings this incredible piece of trivia, I sound good in this one. I wrote this synopsis. On this Wednesday, you's true. Horses are almost physically unable to vomit. Pete brings this incredible piece of trivia. I sound good in this one. I wrote this on this Wednesday, Thursday. And after that conversation rapidly turns onto what other things horses can and can't do,
Starting point is 00:28:33 uh, including a frankly terrifying injury. Someone suffered while instantly walking through a field elsewhere. There's the outer hair brothers, people who steal content. now we're stealing content from ourselves. Uh, now Jean water bottles and phoning in sick.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Also, I've got a very sore foot. And if you have any tips to alleviate his pain, you should let him know. I wonder when that was then. Interesting. Yeah. Well, I can tell you when it was. It was in February of 2019.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Yeah. So there you go. There we go. Anyway, Peter, shall we squeeze one more email in before we go? All right, then. I think you should read it. Okay. Yeah me uh i was just i was just looking at i'll play that content to you we could play the full episode for you okay have you got it
Starting point is 00:29:13 no i pressed it said the audio's not available i don't know what's happened there it's interesting that's because it's missing we've just been covering yeah steven has got a touch hi chaps bear with me on this one famous eileen's yeah so this came from last week Eileen Drury yeah but last week last week we found out Shania Twain's real name was Eileen
Starting point is 00:29:29 that's true and we couldn't remember a single famous Eileen apart from Eileen Drury who you thought ran the FA but was in fact
Starting point is 00:29:36 Glenn Hoddle's faith healer Stephen says bear with this one famous Eileen's my mum given how famous Eileen's are
Starting point is 00:29:43 she may as well be the most famous here are the reasons she's my mum. Given how famous Eileen's are, she may as well be the most famous. Here are the reasons. She's my mum. And to my knowledge, I only have one mum. Gotta be pretty unique. Two, she has a soothing Irish accent until she's angry.
Starting point is 00:29:55 And then she sounds like the lady in Paisley. She is a fan of Star Trek to the point where she wanted her email password to be hello in Klingon. Neither myself nor my sisters know what hello in Klingon is, so we just made it kaplunk. We've since changed it since, so don't try and hack Steve. Well, you'd have to know her email address anyway, wouldn't you? Yeah, and she loves Dexy's Midnight Runners, which I think is universally mandatory for
Starting point is 00:30:18 all Eileen's case clothes. Keep up the good work. Stephen, a wonderful email, wonderfully dispatched. Yeah, and Luke and Peter is a broad church, listeners from all sorts of different places, and no one's got in touch with a famous Eileen yet. No, and if you've got a song that is named after you, not named after you, but like the song that has the same title or description or chorus that involves your name,
Starting point is 00:30:38 are you a fan of it? Are you not a fan of it? That's the thing. I always think like, is the damned Eloise. Good song, but I don't know many Eloises. Elo's the thing. I always think he's the damned Eloise. Good song, but I don't know many Eloises. Eloise. I think it becomes both a blessing and a
Starting point is 00:30:51 curse. Correct. When I was growing up, everyone used to say shit about Star Wars to me, right? Oh, yes. I think it was really original. Luke. It's not original, is it? Because you've heard it a million times before. Would it be fair? I'd say I start every sentence these days with, would it be fair to say i've got to stop doing that but i do it to other people and think i'm being really original yeah i mean i've not learned the lesson of my
Starting point is 00:31:11 childhood i've kind of passed it down you know you know like when you're a kid and you'd see like a family member and they go last time i saw you were this high yeah and that annoyed me at the time yeah now i do it yeah i do it almost instinctively because because there's genuine excitement it's genuine excitement. It's genuine kind of like, oh my fucking Christ, that's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:29 It's amazing. Yeah. But they don't like it. They don't like it. Your mother wouldn't like it. No. Where's that come from? Sinister.
Starting point is 00:31:36 When I was at Butlers, I was shouting that out the window. Your mother wouldn't like it. Do you remember like horror films and bad naughty video games in the 80s used to have like posters saying, your mother wouldn't like it. Oh, as in like, get it, because you're going to piss off your parents. used to have like posters saying your mother wouldn't like it or as in like get it
Starting point is 00:31:46 because you could piss off your parents yeah nice your mother wouldn't like it we've got to go but have you started watching Yellow Jackets no
Starting point is 00:31:52 it is about bloody wasps you post it on Instagram there's a big wasp on a woman's face there's nothing to do with wasps there's a wasp on the fucking cover this is like that film
Starting point is 00:31:59 that had that South American actress in it that they cut it was a Burton film they cut the South American actress in it that they cut. Was it a Burton film? They cut the South American actress from it, and she was in the trailer, Ana de Armas?
Starting point is 00:32:13 Yeah. She was in this Burton film, but she got cut out in the last minute. She was like the love interest in it. But they put her in the trailer, and then loads of fans of Ana deadamus complained and wanted their money back and wanted to sue well fairly so I think I think so massively
Starting point is 00:32:28 I don't think but it's nothing like that what do you mean? in this analogy is the wasp Anadamus yes okay right so she's a wasp in yellow jacket which isn't about wasps
Starting point is 00:32:39 is there a wasp in it? no because it's named after why the wasp on the cover then you're making me think it's all about wasps and I love wasps But do you think that everything that happens
Starting point is 00:32:48 They're all in my best figs It has to be literal I'm just saying that's advertising We get taken advantage of so many times in Hollywood so if we can get a bit back and start a class action suit
Starting point is 00:32:58 saying there's no fucking wasps in this film there's not Anna the fucking waspy in this film This is like Alexandra Burke again mate Did you think
Starting point is 00:33:05 there was actually an elephant in the room it's a metaphor oh lordy anyway I just want to see a waspy you should watch it between now and
