Starting point is 00:00:00 it's the local peach show it's a thursday that means batteries that means boys and the boys in question and me and luke moore can we call ourselves boys at the ripe old age of 40 yeah i think we are i mean yeah age is just a number when you're as immature as we are oh by the way we talked a lot didn't we on monday about people celebrating the fourth anniversary of the show and how grateful we are. I should also give a big shout out right at the very top of this show. And I make no apology for doing so. Top billing for our listener Soph, who is at Reptilian Soph on Twitter. Is that the t-shirts?
Starting point is 00:00:39 Who made four t-shirt designs for us. One of them says podcasters that I have access to. One is bring your own batteries with a stack on it. Fantastic stuff. Thank you very much, Soph. We really appreciate it. But you replied saying,
Starting point is 00:00:53 these are amazing. I've noticed a lot of other people saying, I need this to be real. These are great. I didn't reply. You shouldn't read anything into that, Soph. I just didn't see it until it was brought to my attention
Starting point is 00:01:05 but I want to give you all the credit in the world because that's absolutely fantastic thank you very much Luke's on GB News fail on Twitter all the time
Starting point is 00:01:11 that's all he's doing I thought you were going to say I'm on GB News I wasn't even given the offer I wasn't even made an offer
Starting point is 00:01:16 it would be very I would say it would be very and it has been very easy did you see that prankster on Zoom he was making a very
Starting point is 00:01:24 I haven't seen it yeah see the prankster on Zoom he was making a very I haven't seen it yeah see the prankster on Zoom went on and was talking to I think Wooten who is a dick
Starting point is 00:01:32 he's a dick's dick yeah he's like an unspeakable human being every time I think about it yeah he's a dick isn't he I remember walking past Absolute Radio like sort of
Starting point is 00:01:40 coming out of work and he goes and he just walked past and he just went cheer up mate did he it's like just the pr and he just went cheer up mate did he it's like just the pricks thing
Starting point is 00:01:47 to shout at someone I like him now I like him now if he said that specifically to you I only ever saw him through the glass I think at talk radio
Starting point is 00:01:55 the other fella as well I used to see him through the glass quite a lot he was quite weird in and around the office right what's his name
Starting point is 00:02:03 Mark someone who he's in GB News I don't actually know no no no he was on talk radio he was like a shit Louis Theroux for a while weird in and around the office. Right. What's his name? Mark someone. Who? He's in GB News. I don't actually know. No, no, no. He was on Talk Radio. He was like a shit Louis Theroux for a while. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Tall thing guy. Glasses, curly hair. Not a clue. Can't remember his surname. Also a bellend. Carry on. People who are on Talk Radio who are bellends.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Yeah, he was on there and he was on a Zoom link and he was basically asking a question to Farage or whoever the hell was on at that point. on a Zoom Zoom link and he was basically asking a question to Farage or whoever the hell was on at that point but in the mirror in the background
Starting point is 00:02:28 he clearly had his bum out and that's all it takes Luke that's what happened on Alan Partridge's this time as well did it? he must have done that on purpose
Starting point is 00:02:37 what? there was a man's bum? yeah I hope he's done that as a homage to that that'd be amazing but it is have we spoken about GB News before? explain to people who maybe wouldn't know Oh, okay. I hope he's done that as a homage to that. That'd be amazing. But it is...
Starting point is 00:02:45 Have we spoken about GB News before? Explain to people who maybe wouldn't know, in your own words, Pete, and it's really important that you do it, I think, what GB News is. It's like Fox News. The money you had to spend on production was what a fox would earn.
Starting point is 00:03:02 The income of an actual fox. Fox News, but everything's been bought with vouchers. In the back of a paper. Yeah, everything's Facebook marketplace about it. Everything got bought on Wish. Done in an airport lounge. Because one thing you would say about Fox News is they're pros. They've got the money to...
Starting point is 00:03:20 I mean, they tried their little... They're not trying to be a news station per se because that would require investment and journalists. But this is a new standard, this is very much mouthpieces, people who want to do editorials and they're basically
Starting point is 00:03:38 discussing stuff that we left behind three months ago. You know, miners' debates in Wales that didn't really sort of go anywhere. My experience is not massively different
Starting point is 00:03:50 to that, but somewhat different because I'll be honest with you, because we have a vest, not a vest interest, but a passing interest in the media because what we do here.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I've seen a lot of heat around it, the channel's launch. Right. I know it's on channel 515 on Sky, so occasionally I've got five minutes where I'm eating my breakfast or whatever, I'll flick it on. Yeah. I know it's on channel 515 on Sky. So occasionally, I've got five minutes
Starting point is 00:04:05 where I'm eating my breakfast or whatever, I'll flick it on. Yeah. And chiefly because, and this is a slight tangent for which I apologise,
Starting point is 00:04:12 I used to quite like in the morning, Sky Sports News would do quite a good roundup. And if you come in to do the roundball, it's quite handy.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Because what I want to know is I want to know, I'm not just going to, I don't just want to know what I'm going to talk about, I want to know what is the news know I'm not just going to I don't just want to know what I'm going to talk about I want to know what is the news actually saying and if you can get a paper
Starting point is 00:04:29 around that that's amazing Sky Sports News changed it and they have some fucking sometimes it's good sometimes it's got just people I've never heard of and what they're talking about
Starting point is 00:04:36 just talking on Zoom about football which is really unhelpful anyway so bit of 515 GB news I've probably flicked it on four times in the morning since it launched. And no word of a lie, every single time I flicked it on,
Starting point is 00:04:50 they've been talking about Meghan Markle. Every time. But it is that thing. Every time. Yeah, it is. But they presumably know their audience. They've probably done their market research. But it's very much Lukewarm Ticks.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Well, not really Lukewarm Ticks. It's Dad's app on TV. It's Dad's WhatsApp, basically. It's Dad's WhatsApp, basically, yeah. It's confusing. It's very satisfying for the people on the left-hand side or just the middle or just normal human people that someone would spend a lot of money on being that shit. And they spent something like 24, 25 million a year
Starting point is 00:05:23 on the whole production, and it seems like 24.5 has been on spending on the presenters. Andrew Neil. Yeah, Andrew Neil. Andrew Neil, yeah. Not Andrew O'Neill, the singer. That's Alexander O'Neill. Alexander O'Neill.
Starting point is 00:05:35 All you ever do is criticise. He played the Wesleyanite Club once, I believe. He was always around Capital Radio when we were there. Really? Just hanging out. A few of the memories I've got from working at Capital Radio where you and I first met. One is just going out every Thursday night.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Two is me just making loads of teas for everyone, which I know you're going to say you think I'd be better at it by now. And three, Alexander O'Neill performing on the roof. In my mind, every week. Doing little P.A.'s. Yeah. Isn't that why I just loved it there well yeah I
Starting point is 00:06:06 mean what would is what would his brand be gold at that point yeah he was gold wouldn't he a capital gold yeah with a David the Kid Jensen he was great by the
Starting point is 00:06:13 way he was great big palace fan lovely lovely man um make a metal note check that nothing's it's sad isn't it obviously not but it's just like there you
Starting point is 00:06:23 go you have to um what were we talking about? Oh, GB News. Either way, that's a little bit... Is it slanderous to sort of go, well, we'll just have to check because of his age. Well, we're being recorded, so it's not slander. Oh, dear. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Peter, it's libel. We are going to talk about GB News a bit more because I want to say to you that they also promised a diversity of voices, didn't they? Yes. And has it been what you would describe as a diversity of voices didn't they yes and is it been what you would describe as a diversity of voices um no i'm gonna say no it reminds me speaking of diversity and the diversity of voices it reminds me of that old story i can't remember who told it who took the
Starting point is 00:06:57 piss out of a really right-wing crowd in america yeah i came on stage and said it's great to see both the main um main audiences represented here, country and western. Nice, I like that. Yeah, exactly. But it is an absolute shit shot. Will it get better? I don't know, but they're on the attack because people are criticising them
Starting point is 00:07:19 for just having bad microphones, bad titling, just looking a little bit budget. But they've gone for this kind of very subdued lighting kind of setup, which means you can't really see what's going on. And because of the lack of diversity in their lineup, it's not really a problem. But when Andrew Neil's interviewing, is it Rishish Sunak? Yeah. Like, their camera, their ISO levels on the cameras,
Starting point is 00:07:42 you couldn't see him, you could and you could barely see uh i think it's it's actually like their lack of diversity it's one of their strengths you can actually see who the fuck is is on the television i i um can't believe this is a bit of a nerdy point but i can't believe how badly the rooms are mic'd up mic'd up very echoey but the darkness it's just too dark there it's it's it and and they can't they can't they can't work with people who aren't who have got the whitest brightest skin
Starting point is 00:08:07 it's the worst I've been in I've been in like to podcast records for new shows for pilots and stuff where I've gone you walk into a room
Starting point is 00:08:14 and I'll be with Tom or someone and you'd be like and we'd both be like you can't do it in here you can't do it in here it's going to sound terrible why have they chosen that fucking room
Starting point is 00:08:22 it's so big and so glassy I don't know I just think people get excited about the whole project it's got to look good and everything has to look fucking room it's so big and so glassy i don't know i just think people get excited about the whole project as it's got to look good and everything has to look good but it's like well that's the sound's terrible and and you know there's just so many intimate and faults where you've got like a person in um there's a there's a thing that keeps happening where uh they'll have someone in huddersfield and the titling uh will be the title that they
Starting point is 00:08:42 used for the last guest so it'll say Newcastle over the top of it. And there's loads of shots of this woman in the same plaza in Huddersfield. And it'll say Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh. It's really, really weird. But it's just very, very wonky. I don't think they've really put their hand in the pocket for the best lighting people, camera people, microphone people, sound technicians. That's what they're all called, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:05 Yes, exactly. They've spent all of their money on the talent. Let's use that big inverted commas on that one. And Britain is really a magnet for twats, isn't it? I think Dan Wotton is the only person from New Zealand I've ever met who's a twat. Yeah, it's a good point.
Starting point is 00:09:21 He's from New Zealand. I'm always surprised when there's a Scottish twat or a Welsh twat. I always get on with the thoughts. You should have been in North London last night, mate. After that England game. Do you want to hear a story about a dog? People don't give a shit about GB News. Let's talk about a dog.
Starting point is 00:09:35 No, let's talk about a dog. So I found a story that Tilly the dog, okay, and I've seen a picture of her. She seems absolutely lovely. This is over in the US, in the potato state of Idaho. I don't think it's the official nickname of the state of Idaho. If someone is listening from the state of Idaho, do get in touch. Let us know.
Starting point is 00:09:54 But I think they're known for making or growing potatoes there, Pete. Right, okay. It's not relevant to the story. I just thought I'd mention it. In Idaho, there was a car accident. One car crashed into another and tilly the dog blesser was thrown through the back windshield of the vehicle and they didn't know where she'd gone they couldn't find an awful awful story so um they spent 10 hours trying to find her
Starting point is 00:10:19 they flagged down other motorists to help they couldn't find her at all at 2 30 in the morning people start looking for her. It was completely fruitless. And they wrote a Facebook post that included a picture of Tilly the dog, which was shared by more than 3,000 people. Two days later, two farmers, Travis and Zane Potter, spotted a random dog herding their sheep. And it was her.
Starting point is 00:10:49 She had just decided to give herself a job. Just nice and busy. Busy, busy, busy. I think it's... The dog's called Tilly. I think it's a female dog, but it might be a male dog. Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:11:00 The point is the dog gave itself a job and went on to the farm and just checked into work and started herding sheep. Oh, that is lovely, isn't it? Just kind of like propelled out of a window. But it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:14 But it's also, as far as I understand it, a big reveal to the owners that your dog's got an amazing skill you never thought it had. Right, yeah. It's as important
Starting point is 00:11:23 as going home or going to the library and seeing Tilly doing some coding. Do you know what I mean? It's a proper job. Yeah, being a net hacksaw. Yeah. When I was staying at that B&B
Starting point is 00:11:34 up in the Lake District a couple of weeks ago when you had Vish on, it was mad because they had a dog, an amazing dog. Do you remember I showed you the picture? A dog called Alfie. He would sit outside the B&B on a nice day and he would just welcome people in he loved it like
Starting point is 00:11:48 you got to me be really happy to see everyone he would do that thing where when people walked past that weren't coming and he would get up and get down again and be disappointed yeah he loved it anyway um the owner of the b&b this guy called mike lovely fella he was saying that um when they take alfie out for a walk he like herds them right take him off the lead yeah and he can't stop herding and if people walk that they don't even know yeah walk a bit closer because it's in the later it's just countryside he'll herd them all together so then they'll have enough conversations with people they don't know because the dogs put them all together and they want to get away from the dog oh that's nice it's nice man the dogs you
Starting point is 00:12:24 have access to doing any of that? No. They do a bit of digging. They dig around the place. Lola, the younger dog, is about eight, nine. She will get a bone and she'll just be on the settee with a bone and then she'll start to try and dig to bury her bone.
Starting point is 00:12:41 But it's like, she's never been taught to do that. She's never seen any other dog doing that I find that bloody fascinating like the she'll start like nudging the the soil over the top of it with her nose
Starting point is 00:12:52 but it's not it's a chair mate so don't worry about it yeah I've seen them I've seen dogs do that next to their food bowl like trying to pretend
Starting point is 00:12:59 to like dig mud over their food bowl that breaks my heart I don't know why I don't know it's just emotions it gets you my emotions
Starting point is 00:13:06 just get on top of me sometimes you're thinking about your new neighbour thinking about my new neighbour Damien he's got some of his rum Damien's rum have you tasted the rum yet
Starting point is 00:13:14 by the way no no I've not are you ever going to taste it I've got Nat's tisky she bought me last time so get them out of the way and then
Starting point is 00:13:21 it's into rum town please do that please knock on his door. Four pack of whiskey. Go on, Damon, let's set the world to rights. You're in Israeli healthcare here. And really insist
Starting point is 00:13:33 that you brewed it yourself. Even though it's in the pack. Yes, I've got my own little microbrewery. And take him there, it's just a bath of beers. Yeah, and he doesn't know that you don't know that a microbrewery isn't just a load of beers. Yeah, and he doesn't know that you don't know
Starting point is 00:13:45 that a microbrewery isn't just a load of beers. It's actually got to be made. By the way, I forgot to ask you on Monday. Are you going to do one of those things that people do now? Because you've got a garden, right? I've got a patio, yeah. Is there any chance you could build your own kind of little personal bar in there?
Starting point is 00:14:01 Well, the office I have access to will be in the outhouse we've got an outhouse so I'll be in the outhouse and I thought that's a great idea all by myself got a load of room to
Starting point is 00:14:11 do me projects got in there when we got the keys a bit cold and this is going to be freezing if it's freezing now it's going to
Starting point is 00:14:19 be freezing in the winter. Has it got internet? It's got a cat 5 cable run through from the main building so yes it has. Talk to me a bit more about the rig you're going to have in there. Cat 5 is Has it got internet? It's got a Cat5 cable run through from the main building so yes it has.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Talk to me a bit more about the rig you're going to have in there. Cat5 is a little bit slow these days but it'll be good enough for my needs I reckon. But what rig are you going to put in there? My rig?
Starting point is 00:14:35 I've got my own rig. I've got my old rig. Yeah. I'm worried about security. What? You can really easily break into those outhouses steal my rig.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I don't think they'll want to because I think they'll be worried about semen. They'll be worried about what's on the hard drives my rig. I don't think they'll want to because I think they'll be worried about semen. They'll be worried about what's on their hard drives. Yeah, I swear that's very clear. Yeah, I swear that's very clear. Right.

Starting point is 00:16:26 We've got to do battery brands. We've got to do them on Thursday. We have to. People keep sending them in. We've got a bloody cake we've still got half left of covered in battery. So we've got to do battery brands.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I'm going to listen to you, Pete. You're going to let me know whether you think they're new players to enter the game. It's a very, very illustrious honour to have a new brand of battery player entering the game on this show, as you will know by now. So, a very, very illustrious honor to have a new brand of battery player entering the game on this show,
Starting point is 00:16:46 as you will know by now. Um, so first up, Henry, who has shared a battery, which, um, so the,
Starting point is 00:16:55 it just says necessities on it. I think that's a new player. I've never seen it before. Yeah. Necessities. Necessity. Um, they also say extra long life,
Starting point is 00:17:04 alkaline battery. A lot of them say that, but just the word in red on a Yeah. Necessities. Necessities. They also say extra long life alkaline battery. A lot of them say that but just the word in red on a white background necessities. That is a new player.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Congratulations to you Henry. Who else have we got here? Lucky Pierre. That's a bit rude. Rude. Has entered the
Starting point is 00:17:17 following Peter. Omni remotes. I think that's not a new player. I think we've had that before quite frankly but it's a lovely purple lavender colour
Starting point is 00:17:25 and if I was to pop that battery in my mouth I'd probably taste Parma Violet there we go I reckon legally oblige you to say that you should not
Starting point is 00:17:33 put a battery in your mouth no I'll eat them all if I can get Parma Violet battery but not a new player thank you Luke Pressling sent in Bexel
Starting point is 00:17:39 don't even need to see a picture of them they're not new players get out Luke old fashioned Chris Edwards finally for now has sent in
Starting point is 00:17:45 some LatLiv. L-A-T-T space L-I-V. For those who are interested in that kind of thing, it's a triple A battery. It's black on a gold background. LatLiv. I think for me as a new player. The use of the, what's that? An umlaut over the air? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:02 That looks a little bit scandy for me. It does as well. That would be something from Ikea. Can I just congratulate Chris on, based on the photo, on the strength of his fingers.
Starting point is 00:18:12 They look very strong. Strong fingers. Oh, I was looking at his picture, sorry. His fingers in the actual hole in the battery. Yeah, he looks like he could crush that battery.
Starting point is 00:18:20 So there's two types of fingers in this world. There are. Lovers and fighters. Gunslingers and farmers. Okay, right, okay. And they are farmer's there are lovers and fighters gunslingers and farmers okay right and they are farmer's fingers am I a gunslinger
Starting point is 00:18:28 yeah right same yeah long thin gunslinger short fat farmer I see it sounds like an insult
Starting point is 00:18:35 but it's not no it's not strong strong hands so congratulations to you Chris on your new battery entering the game and your farmer's fingers
Starting point is 00:18:43 okay that's it for Battery Brand brands this Thursday. Any emails, Peter? Well, we got one from Ryan Sean. He's here to Sean us. Hi, Luke and Pete. Recently featured new play to the battery game 2L, right? They are, in fact, Luke, Bexel batteries.
Starting point is 00:18:59 The name is written in Korean and upside down. I don't know if these are new or not, but at least you know a useless fact. So, yeah, Bexell is actually the Korean, the 2L is basically the Korean writing
Starting point is 00:19:10 of Bexell. Who's the emailer? Ryan Chown. Thank you very much, Ryan. Keeping us honest. Go on the website. There's an official complaint process.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You have 14 working days to do that and we'll respond in kind on our decision. Thank you very much. We've got an email from Graham from Canada
Starting point is 00:19:29 Boards of Canada yeah what song music has the right to children great album Roig Biv is my favourite Roig Biv
Starting point is 00:19:36 yeah red orange yellow green blue indigo violet nice like it hi guys I thought I would expand a little bit
Starting point is 00:19:42 on Pete saying that head is underrated in beer. Apparently, a bottle of beer should be poured into a glass to allow for some carbonation to release. By trying to limit the head or have not all by pouring really slowly and close to the glass, you stop that CO2 from escaping. The CO2 still has to escape, however, and will cause a similar effect in your stomach. This is what can cause that bloated feeling and indigestion.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I remember hearing that in this video. YouTube.com forward cause that bloated feeling and indigestion. I remember hearing that in this video. YouTube.com forward slash STMMMM doesn't matter. Not sure of how accurate it is but makes sense to me and found it to be
Starting point is 00:20:12 vaguely interesting stuff you guys like to talk about on the show. Vaguely interesting. The Luger Pete Show. Hope you are doing well. We are, Graham. And love it here from you.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Yeah, and I've got no complaints about the head you've given me over the years, Pete. Hey, come on now. He's talking about willies on mouths. What he's doing. Willies on mouths.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Around them. Like moustaches on the top lip. Jordan's been in touch. This is along the lines of people taking absolute liberties. I love a little penis on my moustache.
Starting point is 00:20:39 That's two penises. No, I just have one penis starting from the left-hand side of my mouth just over the top of the little penis moustache. Like a phallic moustache. Like a little phallic moustache.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Speaking of which, I'm sure Jordan will be delighted to come in on the back of that. Jordan's been in touch about pricing liberties, Pete. Okay. He says, Hi Luke and Pete, recently listened to an episode
Starting point is 00:20:57 where Luke spoke about the absolute liberty of the pub charging £5, 5p for a pint. For those who don't remember, it's not the price itself. I'm not really a miser. I'm happy to put my hand in my pocket, but it's the00, 5p for a pint. For those who don't remember, it's not the price itself. I'm not really a miser. I'm happy to put my hand in my pocket, but it's the extra 5p that's a liberty. Charge me £5.50.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Do you know what I mean? It seems more reasonable for some reason. Anyway, Jordan goes on to say, this not only resonated with me in my now adult days, experiencing the same trouble in pubs, but took me back to when I was at school. In the canteen break times,
Starting point is 00:21:24 they used to sell a piece of southern fried chicken and a bread roll. That is a fucking hearty meal for a kid. Breakfast at Champion's. Lovely old job. However, it was separate and the chicken was 80p and the bread roll was 25p,
Starting point is 00:21:38 thus the total being £1.05. Occasionally, you would get let off the odd 5p depending on what dinner lady was on duty but for the most part you ended up going without or having lots of coins on you. Love the show from Jordan. That is pathetic
Starting point is 00:21:51 for that school to be doing that. I can see a family saying here's a quid for your lunch. Yeah, but not that. Here's a quid for your lunch by the way,
Starting point is 00:21:59 don't buy a piece of southern fried chicken in a white bread roll because you're going to be bunged up and you're going to be like Pete Donaldson in 2012. Yeah, that is heavy, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:22:06 That's a heavy little meal, that is. But it's absolutely right. It is definitely going into the pantheon of pricing liberties because that is a disgrace. Pete, there's also an email here. If you would be so kind as to let me read out an email from Matt. I want to be in charge of it because it's about steampunk, your favourite thing. I know how passionate you get.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Love the cogs. Yeah. Matt says Hi, I heard you mention Pete going out of his way to attend steampunk themed bars in Europe. That definitely happened. I did do that once, yes. If you really want the show's dedication to the cause then may I introduce you to Oamaru
Starting point is 00:22:43 in the South Island of New Zealand. Famous for its colony of yellow-eyed penguins, it is also known as the steampunk capital of the world and holds the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of steampunks in the world. Matt says, I live in Wellington. I've never been, but I have no interest in springs or those goggle glasses they wear.
Starting point is 00:23:03 But I do work with a nice old fella who is a face on the scene and has just been down there for the annual festival. It's nearly 12,000 miles from London, three flights and a few Valiums Pete and you're there. What do they talk about when they get there? It just looks like that, you know when you're sort of it's like the Peaky
Starting point is 00:23:19 Blinders festival or the Spivvy festivals you sometimes get where men dress in war clothes and borders and stuff and they sort of go I'm driving a tandem bike
Starting point is 00:23:30 what do they talk about do you like cogs where do you get cogs from I don't think they say I like driving a tandem bike how doesn't they say that you know like like
Starting point is 00:23:38 the Spivvy moustache boys they turn up and they go weren't men gentlemen back in the day there was something on TV a while back and it was held
Starting point is 00:23:47 on a piece of grass on the south bank in London and it was like it's called something like the gentlemen olympics yeah and it was
Starting point is 00:23:55 I'd like to punch every last one of those gentlemen I'd like to chuck all of them in the river I'll be totally honest it was terrible dressed as a Victorian
Starting point is 00:24:00 strongman yeah hello fellow well met yeah fuck it's just like LARPing in a different way right yeah Yeah, it's all about hello fellow well met and that kind of stuff. Fuck off. It's just like LARPing in a different way, right?
Starting point is 00:24:07 Yeah, it is. It is. Absolute wank. And you can take jazz dancing as well. Don't they talk, Lindy Hop, don't they talk about like,
Starting point is 00:24:14 don't the steampunks just talk about like science fiction and stuff? I guess so, yeah. I guess it kind of makes sense. But steampunk's a very small kind of sub-genre and it's a very visual sub-genre
Starting point is 00:24:24 of that kind of stuff. They just talk about's a very small kind of sub-genre and it's a very visual sub-genre of that kind of stuff they just talk about Wild Wild West probably better keep it online the big robotic spider I forgot Wild Wild West
Starting point is 00:24:31 was steampunk yeah I was going to say Kevin Klein I was going to say to you that I've detected a very troubling development in my
Starting point is 00:24:39 immediate friendship group right I've got about four mates really and we're all pretty good pals and a couple of them have started talking
Starting point is 00:24:45 about Peaky Blinders quite a lot I might have to put a stop to it I have to sort him out it's really good it's brilliant do they go to
Starting point is 00:24:52 those Instagram profiles that have pictures of the main one out of Peaky Blinders with an inspirational message I don't think only two of them are on Instagram
Starting point is 00:25:00 if you didn't like me at my worst then get ready for the pain ball or something it's a really weird it's like a picture of Tom Hardy
Starting point is 00:25:06 yeah and it'll say something that Tom Hardy will unquestionably never say yeah and it'll be
Starting point is 00:25:13 something like this Pete it'll be Tom Hardy once said always be afraid of a man who has lost everything because he will get everything back
Starting point is 00:25:20 and then you'll be sorry it's like he never said that honestly Millionaire's Motivated is my favourite one yeah you talked about it before didn't you talk about Billionaire Boys Club before or something like that yeah it'll be sorry. It's like, he never said that. Honestly, Millionaires Motivated is my favourite one. Yeah. You talked about it before, didn't you talk about
Starting point is 00:25:27 Billionaire Boys Club before or something like that? Yeah, it'll be something like that. Yeah, risk takers are money makers. Yeah. Don't fucking bark
Starting point is 00:25:33 if you can't bite. Yeah. There's a picture of David Beckham going, stop texting them first and see how you all never speak again. It's like,
Starting point is 00:25:43 David Beckham never said that. It's confusing. David Beckham is unquestionably not an incel. If there's one thing David Beckham isn't, it's an incel for sure. Unbelievable. I know I'm on the right path because things stop being easy, baby. Yeah. Real G's move in silence like lasagna.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Savage quote. This one I can't handle. Train your mind to stay calm in every situation and it's a dog on a tatami mat doing a bit of
Starting point is 00:26:10 Buddhism a bit of if I walked in and saw a dog doing that and it wasn't Tilly the dog doing a bit of sheep sheep dogging I'd be fuming
Starting point is 00:26:18 the thing that gets me is that's from the film I Love Dogs that Wes Anderson film oh is it it's so fucking stupid but is it people who don't really fully grasp the culture or maybe don't Wes Anderson film oh is it it's so fucking stupid but is it people who don't really
Starting point is 00:26:26 fully grasp the culture or maybe don't grasp the language or whatever yeah it's it looks very much like a very second language possibly Indian but like
Starting point is 00:26:34 it really makes me laugh when they just have picked it they're obsessed with like very specific people your Tom Hardys you know actors who play a role
Starting point is 00:26:42 Cristiano Ronaldo gets a lot of love as well. It's, I just love it. Is it just, I don't want to be unfair, but is it basically repressed homosexuality? Basically just people that you'd quite like to have sex with or whatever? Oh yeah, it's just boy crushes all over the gaff and they're just, you know, they're just writing about,
Starting point is 00:27:01 you know, umbrella can't stop, umbrella can't stop rain, but make a stand in rain. Confidence may not bring success, but give power to face any challenge in life. And it's a picture of Cristiano Ronaldo at an awards do. I can't get, honestly, five minutes every day.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Do you want me to put the worst thing about it? I just look at it. The worst thing about it, I'm the same. So I'm a bastard for the search on Instagram. You press the search button, it gives you all this stuff. The problem is, I find that stuff really funny.
Starting point is 00:27:26 I also find like rugby culture really funny. Right. And I like to read it, because I like to find it funny. Because they're so lame. Yeah. I don't understand. But Pete,
Starting point is 00:27:35 let me make the point, because it's really fucking upsetting. Every time you click on it, Instagram thinks you like it. Well, that's the thing. And it gives you more of it. But the thing that gets me is, I don't know what it is
Starting point is 00:27:45 I don't know what's so popular the people who like this kind of inspirational stuff also very much like I'm going to use the word milf so my search thing because I follow
Starting point is 00:27:55 all these accounts there's just a lot of older women sort of dancing that old chestnut I'm with the Virgin Media broadband account readout going,
Starting point is 00:28:05 I didn't, oh, it's pornography. Yeah. But it's just all like older ladies just jumping around in their bras and stuff and I don't think
Starting point is 00:28:12 I requested that. I mean, I'm clearly looking at it so that's the problem. Do you ever, you and I and a couple of mates, we would talk about this
Starting point is 00:28:18 on WhatsApp and we'd say, what's your Instagram search? And one of our mates was just houses and grilling meat. Yes. And yours and mine were like, we were in bikinis and weird inspirational quotes. what's your Instagram search? One of our mates was just houses and grilling meat. And yours and mine were like,
Starting point is 00:28:27 we were in bikinis and like really inspirational quotes. Here's one. Elon Musk, he's doing a speech somewhere. Disappear for six months, he's saying. Don't go to parties. Learn a high income skill.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Track and record your progress. Start a business with the skill you learn. Learn more and improve as you go. Those six months can change your life forever. We've been doing this for four years. Elon Musk has done...
Starting point is 00:28:48 Well, no, my life has changed. Elon Musk has done extraordinarily well. And people have got a lot of input into why he did it and how wealthy his family was and the rest of it. He's done well. Right. Full stop. Next sentence.
Starting point is 00:29:01 It doesn't mean we should all follow what he's doing. Because he's also got some ideas that are a bit wacky and are not for the likes of normal people. Just because someone my point is this, just because someone has become successful, it doesn't mean you should instantly validate or ape or copy
Starting point is 00:29:17 everything they do. It's just a lot of stuff about getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning. Oh mate. And I look at someone and I go, I don't think you know what Matt Damon's routine is. You're saying he gets up'clock in the morning oh mate and I look at someone and I go I don't think you know what Matt Damon's routine is you're saying he gets up at 3 in the morning I don't know how you know that Elon Musk's dad
Starting point is 00:29:30 on the Emerald Mine that's what I always have in my head when people hold that money and your dad was down an actual mine my dad was down
Starting point is 00:29:37 a coal mine yeah correct there we go that's the difference that's the only difference between you and Elon Musk you'd be in space by now if it wasn't for that
