It's the Luke and Pete Show, it starts on the 6th of April, and my name is Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore. How you doing, Lukey Moore? What's going on? California, here we come, right back where we started from. That's where you've been, baby. back back where we started from that's where you've been baby uh i have yet i just got off the flight god damn it this is about as fresh from a plane as i think i've ever been really some bleached your bum hole and had an organic juice drink certainly did yeah there's a lot of um i've been eating a lot of like candy mexican candy with chili in it so my bum hole is not bleached uh it's in fact it's the opposite very unbleached how was your trip how was the flight back overnight was it the red eye baby

it was and it's um i was all right so i was in i was in old old your friend of mine economy i thought this is going to be painful for 11 hours, but because of the winds, we got back in about nine hours. And yeah, I got a couple of hours sleep. It means it's bumpy though when the winds are behind you. But the thing is, Luke, it's an enormous privilege to pop out there and watch wrestling shows

and report on them and come back. But this is the first day, now I'm back, that I feel in any way rested. Jetlag, it's boring to talk about, but it's very hard to do anything at all. Anything of anything. The clocks went forward last weekend and I'm still struggling from that. Exactly. So that compounded that.

But I was just like, do you need to wake up at three o'clock in the morning? Do you really need to? What we should do is put every country on the same time. I think so. And then, you know, California will just be known as the ones who are in the dark all the time, I think. It's fine. I mean, a lot of Los Angeles, you'd probably say, looks better in the dark. Because it's a failed town, in my opinion. Is that where...

Is this how you announce that you're a big, like, Midwest Republican type? Because they love having a pop at LA and New York, don't they? Yeah, they're LA. But it's all usually, like, metaphor for the Jews, isn't it, really? It's always like... Or because they're not outwardly hateful to gay people. Yes, exactly.

No, I just think that, obviously, we spent most of our time in Ubers. You know, waking up at like four o'clock in the morning, recording podcasts, doing a bit of filming. And then we had kind of wrestling shows kicking off at about 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock in the morning. So we were jumping in Ubers about nine because we were staying in West Hollywood in ex-Blue Peter presenter Richard Bacon's house.

Oh, really? You stayed at his house? Is he still living there? He wasn't there at the time, which made it easier on Mark, who is his business partner. Nice house, nice house. Richard wasn't telling him what to do.

Yeah, lovely, absolutely beautiful. Swimming pool. Went in there once. It's too cold. But fundamentally, it was quite interesting in California because it was raining every day. It just rained pretty much constantly. So that was a bit interesting.

It's kind of stopped for the two days of WrestleMania. Do you feel comfortable being the kind of person that goes on holiday and stays in Richard Bacon's house? Well, I don't feel comfortable staying in anyone's house, but I'm more comfortable when they're not there. I'd happily stay in your house, Luke,

for the night if you ever need a house sitter. Well, listen, if somebody came to my house, you wouldn't even let me buy you dinner or make you dinner and you were so hungry anyway

that you ate a lot of biscuits on the way home. So we all know what sort of house guest you are. Considerate and hungry. You will starve to death rather than have someone make your dinner correct correct i will but uh yeah uh yeah really good rained every day that's surprising this house is lovely but it did rain every single day which is not something i've ever experienced lovely here on the west coast it's a lovely day today it's absolutely

beautiful i've got back and um i've been used to so the shared um stewardship of uh the dog lola um with sarah's ex-partner and so she goes away for a couple of weeks at a time now i'd not seen because we've got a new puppy that is not shared so we can't get rid of him for two weeks it It's not shed. And I'm used to a puppy, a dog being puppy-sized, right? I've just got back and Lola the dog, what a big dog she is.

She's absolutely fucking massive, Luke. It's insane. She's only a Border Terrier though, mate. She's only a Border Terrier. I know, she's normal size but I'm like, fucking hell, this dog's massive.

How is she getting on with young Sammy? They've not met yet. That's going to be happening tomorrow at some point. So, yeah. Shall I look out for a mushroom cloud over South Beach? WFH, working from home. And that could be on the WrestleMania bill, presumably. That could be, yeah.

I mean, look, if the main event of... And to be honest, we've spoken about this thing before when I think it was Royal Rumble, whatever. I think it was like Triple H and Batista were in the ring and Vincent Mahon came down to the ring, stepped in the ring and blew his quads out. Oh, yeah, and his son did it. And his son did it at the weekend as well.

It was the best bit of WrestleMania. Everything else was just a bit like, yeah, whatever. But watching Shane McMahon come down, do his little dance, try and do a frog splash or whatever it was, and blow both of his knees out.

And then The Miz, who is a wrestler that me and Mark cannot stand, basically just try and figure out what they're going to do because they didn't expect this to happen. Snoop Dogg didn't give an elbow drop from what I saw. Well, so Snoop Dogg saved WrestleMania. Snoop Dogg, I don't know how he got the information. I don't know whether this was the finish that was planned,

but Snoop Dogg took hold of the situation and fucking bossed it. There's people that Mark knows who've worked with Snoop Dogg before on like, you know, comedy shows or whatever. And because he's a rapper, because, you know, people who kind of work in that game who come over to England and, you know, smoke a lot of weed, let's face it, people sort of think that they are disinterested, unfocused and, you know, blazing 420 out of their

heads right and and they can't be trusted to sort of like follow um uh follow instructions and and in um the way it the way that mark tells it is that the people that work with snoop dog say that they always go in sort of going right snoop i need i'm gonna have to explain this to you three times because you're clearly smoking a big spliff and you're not going to remember this, right? Yeah. But every time Snoop Dogg's went, shut your mouth, I'm a fucking professional, and he's nailed it every single fucking time. And this is exactly what happened here. Nobody thought Snoop Dogg was going to be the man who said WrestleMania, and he fucking did.

Because he took control, he took it by the fucking collar and the scruff of the neck and fucking elbow dropped the Miz, which is something we all want to see. Here's Snoop Dogg's journey from charging, and admittedly, eventual acquittal for murder in 1996 to national treasure. It's quite a journey. It is, yeah. And doing cookery programmes with other national treasures, etc. But yeah, it's very strange. Because he's already in the Hall of Fame. And he when he took off his glasses when he took off his

sunglasses before he um elbow dropped uh elbow dropped the miz um he's old isn't he he's very old he certainly is i mean he's no spring chicken he's also so skinny as well yeah i remember seeing him in stars not starskin hutch yeah i think it was Starskin Hutch, that reboot with Ben Stiller and that, and Luke, whatever his name is. And he was, I just remember something, God, he's fucking tall, isn't he? And skinny and thin and

weird looking. He's only 51, apparently. Is he? Wow, he looks older, to be honest. Right to the same lady since 1997 as well. That's nice. That's lovely and I mean 51 he does seem a lot older than that but I guess who knows

but when you were flying back from California the listeners would like to know were there any incidents on the plane because you've got a pretty checkered past when it comes to this kind of thing on my side there was a man I couldn't really see what was going on uh and i'd

sort of doors through a lot of it but mark told me that apparently a man was getting very upset because he felt like he was being poked and he was going he was poking me he was no i'm not going to calm down actually and his missus is going just calm down just ignore it it's fine don't don't worry just have your dinner i'm not gonna going to have my dinner. He was poking me. Was it you? And apparently there was a big clonk and there was a bit of a kerfuffle. And then he was just asleep for the rest of the journey.

So I don't really know what actually went on. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando just snapped his neck. Yeah, exactly. He's dead tired. He's dead tired now, yeah. Did you prepare your now customary flying blister? No, I didn't damage myself in any way. I scratched the back of a car, the car I was driving, unfortunately.

That's very sad. I saw a picture of you in the hire car. It looked like it was too much car to handle for you. It was too much car to handle. It was a, I don't know, what was that car brand that sponsored Manchester it was too much car to handle for you. It was too much car to handle. It was a, I don't know, what was that car brand that sponsored Manchester United

that's very American? Chevrolet. Chevrolet Malibu. It was. I'd requested a Ford Fiesta. It was only 200 quid. I was like, I want a Ford Fiesta.

I want something crap. I want something small. I want something handleable. Presumably Mark doesn't drive either, right? No, no. And I don't, I don't, I think he doesn't drive either right no no and um and uh i don't i don't i think he didn't like my driving you could tell you could tell he was a little bit and there's a

red light oh really that's so funny um yeah but um i think i was but the thing is like my driving was fine it was the backing out of Richard Bacon's blooming driveway. Bloody Richard Bacon again. Bloody Richard Bacon and his driveway. It was very, very tall. And I was looking at the rear camera, but I just presumed that it would make a noise if I was approaching something, you know, scratchy and wall-y.

But I didn't. It didn't. Oh, there's something on the camera. I'm going to reverse into that anyway. Yeah, exactly. I just, it was confusing. Everything, you know what, like, architecture is out there.

It's all kind of just like, kind of sandy, you know, everything's sandy looking. What I find with those, with those kind of parking aids is that they are good and they're full of information, right? Yeah. But they also disavow you of all the kind of intuition you've built up over the years. Responsibility, yeah, exactly. So for me, with my car, it's a bit like, I i know really if you took all the cameras away and all the beeps i'd be fine because i'd have you'd build up a sense of what you can do what you can't do it just makes you more cautious once you get all these singing and dancing cameras and beeps

you're just like you're driving by by beep well you've got kind of i was very impressed with the length of your car like it was it's a big it's a big estate sort of car, isn't it, your car? I didn't make it. I just bought it. It's nothing to be impressed by, by me. Well, I mean, it's the sort of size, you know those wacky racers where all those gangsters, that car that the gangsters drive?

Yeah. And there's about 10 of them in it. It looks like that. No, it is that car. Spacious, yeah. It is that model, yeah. But it's kind of like that. Eight little cartoon mafia.

Mafia men hanging off the side. Been at all times, yeah. But yeah, kind of like that. I have eight little cartoon mafia men hanging off the side. Been at all times, yeah. But yeah, great trip, great wrestling from start to finish. Fucking great. We got to meet Greg the Hammer Valentine. Oh, lovely. I would have put my mortgage on him being dead. Yeah, well, the Bushwhackers were set to be there recently right one of them

died yesterday no day before yesterday um and he and luke i can't which one went but um we saw one of them and it's the one we've seen before butch we saw one of them um luke is it luke and butch butch and luke i think. We saw Luke yesterday with like, he's got like completely shaved hair. He's got like crew cut with like a kind of, like a strip on the top. And he's sort of coloured his hair. He's coloured every fibre of his hair,

even though the fibres are very, very short with a crew cut kind of configuration. And he's managed to get none of it on his skull. Fibres. It's pitch black and it looks absolutely bizarre. But he's managed to get none of it on his skull it's pitch black and it looks absolutely bizarre but he's done a lovely job but it looks absolutely bizarre it's it's it's absolutely i was i was well surprised to see that um greg the hammer valentine and the honky tonk man are both still alive yeah and they're the tag team so i don't think they're called the dream

team because greg the hammer dream team was Brutus Beefcake but yeah Greg the Hammer Valentine was definitely in a tag team with the Honky Tonk Man at one point we saw all three of those very suave

all three of those of those talents having breakfast at various times and the thing about Honky Tonk Man whenever you see him at these sort of things

he never has the suit on he just always has kind of like those kind of like weight lifting sort of things he never has the suit on he just always has kind of like like those kind of like weightlifting sort of gym pants that men who used to work out in the 80s have zubaz and stuff like that kind of flappy kind of um shell suit kind of stuff i'm wearing a pair now but i understand why they why most um and all in fact uh um wrestlers have bum bags, it's because their gym gear doesn't have pockets. It's just not practical. And they're all the gym gear from the 80s,

so they just wear all the stuff they had back in the day. They should be wearing more modern stuff, really. Well, I mean, what's Honky Tonky, Honky Tonky Man, Honky Tonk Man doing in, you know, lemon? Is it Lululemon? Let's see what some Lululemonulu lemon sweaty betty before we move on from your american trip um there's a question that no doubt the whole luke and pete show community want to know the answer to and that is how much mr beast chocolate did you manage to uh destroy

on your trip disrupt yeah i mean very uh small little kind of set-ups in Walmart with Mr Beast. I mean, it looks... I can see why he's concerned about it looking messy because the default setting for those kind of little stands is quite messy. So he's only got himself to blame, Luke. It's terrible stuff. Did you make a purchase?

Well, I made some purchase on the chocolate when I was swizzing it around, making a mess. But you didn't part with cash for any of it? How dare he? How dare he mobilise it? Well, did you see that within about a day of KSI turning up at WrestleMania, dressed as a big prime bottle,

getting smashed through a table by his friend Logan Paul, he's, you know, said something dreadful. Yeah, I saw that. It's the WrestleMania effect. I saw that. Yeah. That wasn't great, was it? It wasn't great,

and it's kind of like, how many people have seen that before it's gone out? How many people are in the fucking room? Astonishing behaviour. Yeah, because they're all just in hock to them, aren't they? I mean, no one's going to be

telling them what to do. It's not going to happen. They haven't got the robustness of a Luke Moore at their company, have they? Why isn't the PR in the room telling them, well, that can't go out? That's getting...

Speaking of you disrupting the Mr Beast chocolate in the Walmart, and for those of you who don't follow us on social media, you would not have seen that, but to put that right, you can do so at Luke and Pete Show. I was in the kitchen the other day and the Wi-Fi I have access to

just called me through to the living room with some urgency and I was like, okay, what's going on? So I kind of jogged through, went in there and she was on her phone and she just went,

Pete's in a Walmart. And I was like, she was like, where's the Walmart? And I was like, oh, it's, she thought you had, you were discovering Walmart

in the UK. I found a Walmart in the UK. Pete's in a Hooters. Where is it? It's not in there. It's not in there. I think it's in the one getting built in the UK. I'd found a Walmart in the UK. Peter and the Hooters. Where is it? It's not in there. I think it's the one getting built in Burnley. Oh, they closed the one down in Nottingham. There was always a famous new one in Nottingham.

I think they closed that one down, yeah, and they're opening a new one in Burnley. Why Nottingham and Burnley? I do not know. There was always a great T-shirt used to do the rounds. I think it was a T-shirt. Must have been. Where there was a bloke pleading with his wife to be able to go to Hooters by saying, I just really like the rounds. I think it was a T-shirt. Must have been. Where there's a bloke saying,

pleading with his wife to be able to go to Hooters by saying, I just really like the wings. Jesus Christ. Anyway, let's have a quick break. When we come back, there's a couple of other bits

I want to talk to you about, Peter. Not least of all, a piece of musical theatre you attended recently. Ooh. We're back with the Luke and Pete show. Luke's got things to talk about. So he'd better start right now.

Go. That's the, isn't that the elevator pitch for this show? It is, yeah. Luke's got a few things to talk about. So, as promised before the break,

everyone listening knows you're a massive fan of Bat Out of Hell. Yeah, not the song or the album. it's it's very much just the musical theater show but our hell in the currently um currently playing in the western is it playing at the theater that you stood the big freddie mercury statue outside it no no no no no no no no they've they've done the world tour and i think they've taken the world to

a set to and popped it in a theatre next to the London School of Economics Oh, it's called the Peacock Theatre, I've just read it It's way off West End now Yeah So anyway, news came in last week that a performance of

Bat Out of Hell, the Peacock Theatre in the West End of London was halted after a audience member started dishing out quite heavy abuse to all his fellow audience members, including calling them fucking cunts and being thrown out by security. And all I'm saying is, I know that you have seen it. The guy seems to have some kind of northern accent. And as he was leaving the theatre, he shouted,

I'm having fun. Let me fucking enjoy myself. And I just thought, all the boxes are ticked. Is it possible that my co-host and long-term friend and colleague Pete Donaldson was to blame? Yeah. Just let me have some fucking fun. These fucking cunts, Luke.

Oh, no, no. Apparently someone else stood up in the seat behind him and threatened to fucking batter him before he shouted back, this is my fucking seat. And then some woman shouted just the word shameful.

She was aiming it at the people who were acting. Absolute radio DJ, Sarah Champion, shouting shameful at her. Shameful. I mean, I would love to know at what point this was happening, like whether it was the start or the finish. I hope it wasn't the quiet bit of I'll do anything for love.

That would be very disrespectful. Well, they sort of went, I think I said when I watched it, I'll do anything for love that'd be very disrespectful well that well they sort of wait i think i said when i watched it um i would do anything for love um but i won't do that and it's kind of like soon and then you only get to sooner or later you'll be it's a great bit that the woman sings that but i don't know who she is but back in the day she was brilliant yeah she was great um not the woman in the video i seem to recall they just replaced oh recall. They just replaced her with a model. Oh, it's not. They just replaced her with her model, right? Yeah. Okay, right. That makes sense.

But, I won't do that. And the lead, which I believe was called Strat, gave enough of a pause for a woman from the audience to shout, he fucking will, or he will. Oh, I hate that. I hate that.

Do you though? Because Sarah's like, oh, that's amazing freestyling. And I was like, shout he fucking will or he will oh i hate that i hate that do you know because garrett and like sarah's like oh that's amazing um freestyling and i was like they must get that every fucking night surely everywhere all around the world people shouting he will i don't like it i just i just feel like i feel like i don't like people shouting out of stuff right uh no people think of me as quite a belligerent human being and to some extent, they are very spot on with that. But in a social kind of public environment, I'm not down with that.

You see it quite a lot. Weirdly, you see that a lot with British wrestling fans over in America. Whenever you're in a crowd where there's a lot of British wrestling fans, people will just be doing their fucking gags. And I'm like, just shut your fucking mouth, shout, scream, clap, do whatever you want to do,

but I don't want to hear your fucking funny jokes about wrestling because they're not funny because you're a fucking dweeb like the rest of us. How did you feel about it when we used to do Rambo live shows and people would shout out? I mean, bearing in mind, by the time you get to like your third or fourth gig you kind of know what you're doing so you can roll with the punches a little

bit but on the first one you're like i don't know what's happening stop shouting and and you've and we got into a kind of a bit of a rhythm of kind of listening to them and marcus was pulling out his classic um you know i remember my first drink uh lines It works though that stuff. It does work yeah. People like that. People like that. People inexplicably haven't heard it before and Spells he gets away with it and that's the annoying thing. Oh I don't like other people doing funny jokes when I'm on stage as well. Spells he gets away

with it. Spells he gets away with it. Well listen what I would normally say if people were shouting out in the early part of our live show is I would say do you want to still be sat in this auditorium for the probably third or fourth best piece of physical comedy from Pete Donaldson you're ever going to see in your life? Because that is coming up,

and that's where the stakes are at the moment. They're so high that you could get ejected from this auditorium and never see Pete Donaldson do probably a 15-metre knee slide on the freshly varnished stage. And then try to do a kip-up and then fail. Yeah, exactly. Still not be able to. I think you and the wife you have access to

try to teach me how to do a kip-up. It wasn't me. I was nothing to do with it. I've never done one in my life. But Mimi can do it pretty easy. Yeah, Mimi will be able to help you. And I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it.

Mimi's physical prowess in athleticism and stuff is genuinely upsetting. Because I remember I went to a personal training session I was doing through COVID because the gyms weren't open. And at one point we got onto the stage at the end of each session. I did it with Laura Kirk, actually. He used to present Berkhamstead Revisited.

She lives quite near me. We're still good friends. And at the end of each session, we'd do a plank, right? And I was building up each time. So obviously I'm quite a big fella, so it was quite tough. And then I got to the point

where I got to like a minute and a half, which I know is like pathetic, but for me it was quite a big achievement. I told Mimi about it. in the kitchen with her slippers on without any kind of introduction. She did seven minutes. I mean, like that's unhelpful, isn't it? Yeah.

It was demeaning. I literally went for a wee and came back and she was still doing it. I mean, could she not have stopped at two minutes? Because seven is rubbing it in for me well that's well done exactly what she's like she will hammer home

an advantage and that's why I love and respect her there's no mercy mate there's absolutely no mercy but on the on the shout and out

thing from that from that bat out of hell play I remember we did a show at the Gramercy in Nework and there

was a drunken irish guy who just kept screaming out do you remember that i don't remember because i think i was the drunken northern man i was having a great time um he was just he just kept screaming and shouting right and it was annoying yeah and then later on we went for a drink afterwards and some people tagged along he was one of them he was like yeah i've had a great time he was like it's brilliant wasn't it i was like all right mate you did sharp shout in the whole fucking show like like loads of people have paid to be there as well he's had absolutely no shame about it whatsoever so i guess some people just like that is crowd work more um in stand-up comedy is it is it kind of is a bit more like it i don't know do people in america i've never been um in stand-up comedy is it is it kind of is a bit more like it i don't

know do people in america i've never been to a stand-up show in the us i don't really know i hate watching i hate watching um comedian deals with heckler or not the instagram search page is so cringe every time why is it so cringe all the time why are there no good comedians i mean we've been through this before yeah you hate me saying that that's why i said you need to i think you need to hang out with some comedians just to no way are you mad no fucking way yeah like a little inoculation so you don't get so upset about it um speaking of i can't link that batteries it's times and batteries it's thursday so every single uh thursday we uh get

pictures we get submissions uh via hello at luke and pete show.com sometimes the twitter as well they get involved that way um if you found a battery that has an interesting name an interesting smell an interesting taste or an interesting physical uh appearance do let us know all right and maybe you can join the battery hall of fame hello Hello from Melbourne, Australia, says Jordan. Here's a battery I found at work in what can only be described as an office-appropriate swingers' key bowl, aka a large glass bowl in the middle of the office filled with bent paper clips, broken staple refills too small to ever be used, and large quantities of keys that far exceeds the number of filing cabinets in the office.

Buried amongst these treasures is this, a COS COS Alkaline AA battery. Never heard of this brand before and therefore have set my expectations far too high in hopes of a new player entry. Jordan, is COS a new player, Lukey? They are a new player. Congratulations to you, Jordan.

Fantastic. All the way from Melbourne, Australia, which is pleasing. Yeah, very pleasing and and lovely to be reminded of um sort of broken staple refills as well because once they once you sort of you've you've kind of snapped off too many they get too small and then they're just wasted they must be like an absolute um eu staple mountain of of these kind of staples that are too small to be used in a staple gun or a staple... It's food for thought.

Melbourne is supposed to be the coolest place in Australia, right? I don't know. I've never been. I think it's like a trendy place. Right, okay. It's the shoreditch of... My town was described as the shoreditch of Essex, which I'm not particularly comfortable with, to be honest. Yeah, I saw that as well, actually. I wouldn't say Melbourne's the Shoreditch of Essex, which I'm not particularly comfortable with, to be honest.

Yeah, I saw that as well, actually. I wouldn't say Melbourne's the Shoreditch of... I mean, because Melbourne is its own city, right? Yeah. Imagine the coolest bit of Melbourne would be... It's the Seattle of Australia. Oh, that's a good way of putting it, actually. Yeah. And what did they mean when they said that your area

is the Shoreditch of Essex? Because that could mean a number of things, couldn't it? Bad facial hair. I think they just saw me walking around no one takes the bins no one takes the bins yeah

just a lot of drug use noisy all the time anyway good new player for Jordan congratulations to you and thank you for taking the time and making the effort

to send us that battery fantastic news lovely Daniel has come in with a pair of batteries, in fact, a couple of batteries I'll chance my arm with. He says, pretty sure Aerosel has been sent 2,000 times, but I don't recall hearing Alza mentioned.

Alza Power. It's a super alkaline battery. It's AA, and it's got a lovely kind of mint green and white-black motif on it. I love the colour scheme of Alza Power, don't you? Yes, I do. I've always enjoyed that lovely minty green, because it reminds me of the

colours of a Polo Mint logo. Yeah, no, I think it's a great colour as well. Aerosel, you are I think the 19th person to send that in, Daniel, so nowhere near close on Aerosel, but Alza Power is indeed a new player as well. Lovely.

Well done, everyone. That's fantastic news. That's two out of two, or two out of three, I guess, if you count the aerosol, which I'm not. Two out of three ain't bad. There we go. Mike Jones, not that one. Who is that one? Spike Jones, I think. Morning, gents. I have been listening for a while

and recently came across these batteries for the remote controls on our works gates. Both are 23-amp alkaline batteries, 12-volt. Those little kind of weird in-between double A's, in-between 9-volt kind of batteries where the poles are on the same size. Liab or Lieb and Unicel. Probably not new players, but I can live in hope.

L-I-A-B or L-I-E-B. It's not entirely sure. I think I'd probably err on the side of Liab and also Unicel, which sounds like you've had your bits chopped off. Like a eunuch. Unicel. Yeah. Like a eunuch.

Why do they always say Alcalon on them? I don't know. Maybe it them? I don't know. Maybe it's... I don't know. I have no idea. Maybe it's just... The word alkaline probably has a little bit of a... Like a veneer of respectability.

Or maybe they used something that's not alkaline. Maybe acid batteries is not a good look. No, you don't agree with that. Because acid batteries are like car batteries, isn't it? They're the naughty ones. Oh, fair enough, yeah. They're naughty ones. Proper naughty ones. Oh, fair enough. Yeah, they're naughty ones. Proper naughty ones.

They sit at the back of the class. So they're both new players as well. So that's three new players this week alone. It's incredible to think of, really, after all this time, we're still finding batteries that no one's ever seen before. Well done, Mike Jones.

Also, Mike Jones asks, as a little post-script to that email, does Peak do the continuity voiceover for the Blaze TV channel? No, but I'm open to offers. I've never even heard of that channel. Craig Charles UFO conspiracies, evidence of the unexpected. I'm looking at the website. Storage Wars, Pawn Stars.

Oh, they do Pawn Stars and Storage Wars. Okay. Interesting. I mean, it's part of the under the, I would, I mean, it's part of the A&E networks, I think, so I don't know whether that's part of something else. A&E networks, yeah. Can I ask a potentially quite naive question,

and that is how do those channels make any money? Yeah, I don't know, to be honest. I mean, I suppose, certainly like Discovery started doing like pay channels, haven't they? It's not pay channels, but they've always had pay channels. But they started doing, like, subscription services and stuff. But, like, Blaze, it's like, I guess that's talking pictures channel. Yeah, but Discovery are massive, aren't they?

They're, like, a massive, massive company. Yeah, they own, like, everyone, don't they? Eurosport and stuff. But, like, I just, like, Blaze, I, hmm, who's paying for that? So, if I catch any kind of daytime TV and I see like adverts for home alarm systems and life insurance, I kind of often assume that's

just like an extra bonus added advertising for people who advertise on big main TV shows. Well, do you reckon that's a bit of added value and stuff? Yeah, maybe you're advertising elsewhere on the other part of their network sort of thing owned by a and e who are owned by disney and so so they so they own a and e history lifetime and fyi where the hell fyi is uh but uh yeah it sounds like very much like that's probably one of those channels where adverts get added in but then you don't

know how many people people like watching porn My dad would certainly watch shit like that all day. And how can they seriously be thinking about retaining an audience and therefore making money if they've not got Pete Donaldson doing the continuity voiceover? Damn straight. Can you give us an example of porn stars? Can you do a porn stars just example, like showreel type try? What is porn stars about?

Is it Porn Stars UK or Porn Stars... It's like when people sell shit, don't they, to make money. Right. It's filmed in Sealand in Flintshire in Wales. The day-to-day activity

is a pawn shop, Regal Pawn, collaboratively run by... Yeah, it's just a spin-off of Pawn Stars, isn't it? So, a lot of first seasons of Pawn Stars.

20 seasons, 577 episodes. Do a continuity voiceover example so that Blaze could tap up. Coming up next, someone's selling something for drugs on Pawn Stars. That's actually pretty good. All right. It's pretty good. Anyone who's listened to a Ramble, a football Ramble sponsorship,

will recognise that. I remember my first introduction. Coming up next on Blaze, a man's going to be selling a guitar for crack, only on Pawn Stars. They're not going to be selling a guitar for crack only on Pond Stars they're not going to be very happy with that what no they won't they're not going to

take me on are they the first ever Spotify I thought I ever heard was you doing a voice over for Green Day's latest album we're all premium nowadays though aren't we

oh big time Spotify's one of those ones that I barely use but it should be the first to go because I only ever use it to play podcasts usually I think

yeah it's a good no I do listen to a lot of music on it although Neil Young had the last laugh the other day because you know he took all his music

off of Spotify because of Joe Rogan right okay yeah and I thought to myself Neil what are you doing and I just didn't listen to Neil Young music for ages

after that and then the other day it occurred to me that I hadn't listened to him for a long time and I ended up buying three of his albums. Yes. So he's had the last laugh there. He's played the long game. It's worked out bloody well for him. Certainly has.

Brilliant. Anyway, that's probably all we've got time for today. But we will be back on Monday for more of this. We've got some great emails that we do need to get to. Richie's been in touch and there there's an anonymous email here which is always a good thing um loads of great stuff in the in the email inbox we'll get to that on monday uh we'll do our very best to anyway but in the meantime have a lovely weekend look after yourselves enjoy this um this um increase increasingly warm weather if you're living
