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?
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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...
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
Let's get to an advert, you rotter.
We're back from the
Luke and Pete Shaw
official advert break.
Hope you enjoyed that.

there's one called
September
which is on the album
Port of Morrow
can you not just have
right
for every band
just remember one song
because that's all I can do
your brain
just retains
too much information
and I'm worried about you
I can't articulate it
you can't get out
don't do anything with it
if I give you a band
you turn with a song
that comes to mind
straight away
close my eyes
okay
the Rolling Stones
give me Shelter
okay
interesting
the Beatles
the best of the Beatles
this is where it gets funny
what about
no effects
oh
your brain's fucked it really is all I think punk and drub look is the No FX. Oh.
Your brain's fucked.
It really is.
All I think of is Punk and Drub Licker.
Smash Mouth.
It's a gold star, obviously.
Hey, now.
We're not walking on the sun.
Yeah, it's a better song, isn't it? Walking on the sun.
But it won the war, didn't it, that song?
What about Bare Naked Ladies?
One week is the only one, isn't it?
Did they do another song?
It's a perfect cue for you just to go, it's been.
Well, just wait till the end.
All right, fine.
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.
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,
as you will know by now.
Um,
so first up,
Henry,
who has shared a battery,
which,
um,
so the,
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,
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.
Congratulations to
you Henry.
Who else have we
got here?
Lucky Pierre.
That's a bit rude.
Rude.
Has entered the
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
yeah
right
same
yeah
long thin gunslinger
short fat farmer
I see
it sounds like an insult
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
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.
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
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.
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
Boards of Canada
yeah
what song
music has the right
to children
great album
Roig Biv is my favourite
Roig Biv
yeah
red orange yellow
green blue indigo violet
nice
like it
hi guys
I thought I would
expand a little bit
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
yeah
and it'll say
something that
Tom Hardy will
unquestionably
never say
yeah
and it'll be
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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...
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.
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
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
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
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
let's get out of here
that's it for the
Luke and Pete show
