I feel like

really special

proud of us Pete

less proud of all
the listeners
so what have you

to mark the occasion
well I've got you
a little gift Luke

yeah
sorry you nodded off there mate
what we got planned
for episode 100
uh
uh
I
I don't know It's episode 100, look my way!
Whee!
The Luke and Pete show.
Here we are.
It is back for the 100th episode.
I mean, we went bi, we were not bi-weekly.
Yeah, because bi-weekly means also fortnightly,
and it's very confusing.
We were weekly, then we're twice a week.
Just leave it at that.
I just think it's cheating.
Don't complicate things.
It's not our real 100th episode.
It's great to be here, though.
It is great to be here.
It's great to make it this far.
Yeah.
Another digit on the title character limit.
That's why you've got to look at it.
We'll be running out, won't we?
Yeah.
So, yeah, fantastic.
Thursday, almost a weekend.
And, Pete, what I thought we should do for episode
100 is i put a tweet out earlier in the week uh and i said look we're gonna do episode 100
and what would be really great is if we were to uh maybe go through what our listeners favorite
moments of the 100 episodes are so almost they they sort of curate and and and um and plan the show for us so i did
all that i combined all the um all the uh suggestions and i've got a top five which we'll
come on to um but before we do that what what have been your main takeaways from this the one of the
sort of lesser successful projects you've embarked upon in your career well that's not the worst it's
not the worst project not the worst goodness me no but so what have been your do you feel like you've got to know me one of
your dearest and closest friends a lot better do you feel that's something you can be very happy
about i've learned a lot about your cats and your family yeah um that's part of being a friend
um yeah no i've enjoyed it uh i've learned a lot about history. You know,
you say you've learned a bit about me and my friend,
my family.
Has it helped you get over this crippling sense of,
um,
fear of commitment?
What do you mean in your life?
What do you mean?
I'm full of commitment.
I'm made of it,
man.
You know,
I'm hewn from commitment.
It's giving me all day.
Hewn commitment.
That's my name.
Um,
uh,
I tell you what,
there are some people in my life
who listen to the Looking Peach Show
in lieu of actually talking to me.
That happens to me all the time.
People sort of go,
oh, I listen to this thing.
Just talk to me and I'll tell you.
I'll tell you the things
that I said on the Looking Peach Show
in, you know, first hand.
Sometimes I'll get WhatsApps from friends
and I won't have heard from them for a while
and it'll be,
oh, I heard you mentioned me
on the Looking Peach Show. great yeah thanks yeah it's the only way they can handle
us that's the future see it's like a black mirror type episode we're writing our diaries here yeah
people yeah people don't have um friendship they just have a series of recorded updates from
friends they can access whenever they want. And everyone's recording them,
and you can access whichever people you...
That's a good idea, I think.
I put a picture of...
A few pictures I took in Korea about a month ago,
a couple of months ago,
and people were sort of DMing me,
going, oh, you went to Korea, try this,
go here in Seoul.
And I was like, no, it's just old pictures.
You just stopped that on your Insta?
It's just an update on the Insta, mate.
I think... instrument I think
what I think is that
with this show
you are sort of
making
a diary of
because
obviously I
helped to make
Berkhamstead Revisited
which is this show about
two girls
and a teenage diary
and
one of the things
that's quite fascinating
about it
is it's made me
really wish i could
remember those stuff about what's happened in my life yeah and so maybe this show will for the last
year or whatever go some way towards that yeah you know reminding that i wanted to go to bed with
samantha fox yes at age eight and now you're 38. Oh, no, 37, are you?
37.
And how do you feel about Samantha Fox sort of right now?
What do you mean?
I'm sure she's fine.
Well, Samantha Fox is currently 52 years old.
She's a singer, a songwriter, actress, and, of course, former glamour model.
How do you think the 52-year-old Samantha Fox and the 37-year-old Pete Donaldson would get on?
Because back then, Samantha Fox was only 23, and you were eight.
That's disgraceful, isn't it? Yeah.
God, I mean, the things Samantha Fox
must have had to go through in the 80s
as a glamour model.
Good God, can you imagine?
Yes, I can.
I don't want to.
Actually, did you read about Paul McCartney
and Lennon McCartney?
Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
It's odd, this.
It's very's odd this.
It's very odd this.
When they were kids,
they had,
I suppose,
what you'd call a circle joke.
This is the late 50s,
is it?
Yeah, late 50s.
They were around
someone's house
and they all just started
pulling their...
Pulling their puddings.
Indulging in the act
of ornanism.
Now, that is something that I have actually witnessed myself.
Well, please tell us more.
Carlton Camp.
Episode 100 is definitely the place for this sort of stuff.
Again, I was nine, maybe 10 years old.
I was at an orchestra trip and a couple of the older lads,
I was just in a room, we're playing role playing.
Whoa, hang on a minute.
And halfway through.
What does that involve?
Well, like little,
not little miniatures,
but like, you know,
pretending you're a bloody orc
or something running around.
Like Warhammer.
That sort of business.
Okay.
And one of them just sat there going,
and just started jerking it.
And then all the rest of them
had a race to see
who could jerk it the fastest
to fruition.
And I was like...
How did you feel about this?
Well, I hadn't started yet.
How old were you?
I'd give him a run for the money now.
That's all I'm saying.
If you're listening, lads,
the office is still there.
Come on.
How did you feel about it at the time?
Were you thinking about Samantha Fox?
No, I wasn't thinking about anything.
I just wasn't in that world at all
because I wasn't old enough.
But I was like,
that's an evocative image, isn't it?
I said, you know... How old were you? i was eight i was either nine or ten okay but yeah
i just remember thought i think and so when everyone was shocked at the idea of lennon
mccartney jerking off together um you was like wow i was like well you know kids be kids yeah
yeah and there's a couple of guys at my university in my halls of residence who were rumored to be
involved in a bit of that stuff and I say rumoured
I think they actually
did admit to doing it
but I want to bypass
that as quickly as possible
as interesting as that story
is because I really
want to start thinking
about Beatles
masturbation puns
so everyone's done
come together
and I saw
one of the newspapers
in the US
did beat the Beatles
which is quite good
that's great
yeah
I haven't really
thought
while my penis
gently weeps
nice
yeah that's
George Harrison
so I don't want
to involve
him if I don't
have to
happiness is
womcock
yeah very good
yeah very good
we'll think about
that later
so as promised should we do this top five I think listeners might be interested in this now it's going to Very good, yeah. Very good. Oh, well. We'll think about that later. Yeah, let's think about that.
So, as promised,
should we do this top five? I think listeners might be interested in this.
Now, it's going to involve us,
essentially,
rehashing old content.
Yeah.
But it is like, you know,
if you think of it like this,
sometimes when you get home from the pub
and there's nothing on TV
and you flick on Channel 5
and they're doing the top 100
reality TV moments,
it's all stuff you've seen before, but it's
nice to be reminded of it sometimes.
What we're going to do, as I said, is a top
five here based on listeners on Twitter
at Luke and Pete show.
Of course, the email is hello at Luke
and Pete show.com. Based on
their contributions and their suggestions,
we are going to go back through the top
five moments.
I've got them here.
You don't know what they are, Pete, do you?
No, I don't.
I'll run them down, and I guess I'll read them,
and you can just interject.
You gave me a sneak peek, a sneak peek, if you will,
of what one of them is.
So I've got a bit of audio for that, but other than that, no.
Okay, so I think that's what we're going to start with.
So coming in at number five,
this is something you brought to the table, Pete. It's not an an email i think it's the only one that isn't an email from
a listener let me just double check that yes it is so number five is of course you probably want
to put a little jingling in here pete or something like a little sort of fanfare okay number five
that'll do is the long egg the long Long Egg! Who remembers The Long Egg?
Yes.
Now, The Long Egg was on the pitch.
Do you want to give people a little bit of an update?
A little reminder of what The Long Egg is
and perhaps give people an insight into why it was quite so popular.
It was basically...
Oh, God, I can't remember his bloody name now,
but I think it was Cook with Keef, or Keef Cooks.
Keef Cooks on YouTube.
This incompetent YouTube cook, right?
He is an adorable man.
Imagine an older Richard Branson who is quite nervous.
In my mind, he's a bit like Colonel Sanders.
Yeah, a little bit Colonel Sanders, a little bit.
Likes a real ale, likes to cook a long egg on occasion.
And basically, he's just this very nervous chap
who makes videos about making different foods.
But one of his threads was making a long egg,
then making a Scotch egg.
And he had two or three failed attempts at making this long egg.
Describe what a long egg is for people who are new to the show.
Imagine an egg.
It's really long.
Extruded.
No, but it's the size of it.
It's not like it's been rolled out flat and it's really small,
like a little pepperoni.
It's a big egg-sized length, like three foot long egg.
The circumference of an egg extruded.
It looks like an egg on a cross section.
I think that's the best way to describe it.
Yeah.
And yeah, it was just basically a chap trying to make a long egg
with using things like, he said waste pipe.
He used a waste pipe, but like, it's just a pipe. Like it wasn't used for waste, but using things like, he said waste pipe. He used a waste pipe.
But, like, it's just a pipe. Like, it wasn't used for waste, but he just said,
and I've used a waste pipe for this.
Don't use the waste.
It's not very good. And he does,
he's on YouTube and he does some,
he does very sort of, like, really standard
British meals. And I do have a lot
of warmth for him. I think he's genuinely worth subscribing
to. And I've subscribed. I think he's brilliant.
But he's very nervous. But he's back.
He's back doing bits and bobs.
Not long eggs.
He's moved past that. Do you want to hear
a bit of him? Yeah, sure. What he's up to now?
Yeah, if you watched my recent video
when I was sorting out my request list,
I put this
on the B list. But on the
basis that it's not that easy to get goat
here in sunny Leeds, actually it is
if you go to the right place but I never have
and also on the basis that I've had it
once or twice and wasn't wowed by it
just talking about goats
he's making goats, he's cooking goats
I think some kind of jerk
goat situation
and he's basically saying well I don't really like goats
it's not very
nice how how many videos how many videos has he done total now oh he's probably done about 25
he's also started doing live videos as well which is quite good i'm quite enjoying that yeah and
then realize that the the other essential ingredient is a scotch bonnet, chilli. So there's a stall that sells all manner of exotic fruits and veg from,
you know, Africa and the Caribbean. And of course they've got a huge box of Scotch bonnets.
So I said, can I have one? And she started weighing out a kilo. i said no i just want one and she's like she gave
me that kind of look that says not a chance matey the bag costs more than one scotch bonnet um so i
got six and uh it cost me 64p haggling over one scotch bonnet i thought he was gonna say they
don't have any i thought he's gonna say and he was gonna get into a situation where he's trying
to make a goat curry without go or a scotch bonnet chili yet thought he was going to say they don't have any. I thought he was going to say, and he was going to get into a situation where he was trying to make a goat curry without a goat
or a Scotch bonnet chilli,
yet making a video about it anyway.
Keith.
Keith.
It's actually Keith over there.
If you like this video, don't forget, give it a like.
Video, don't forget, give it a like.
I like this bit.
And if you like this video, don't forget, give it a like.
Video, don't forget, give it a like.
And if you like this video, don't forget, give it a like
and share and subscribe and give me money
and things like that. He's a natural and give me money and things like that.
He's a natural.
Give me money and things like that.
It's interesting because he is the same standard at presenting as he is at cooking.
Yeah.
I don't mean that in a horrible way because none of us are perfect.
He's quite endearing in a way.
Oh, he's lovely.
Long egg.
It was a classic.
Do you know what?
We actually did a long egg show, I think, over a year ago.
Is that right
it's lived long in the memory
and I found a video
of Fred Dynage
remember Fred Dynage
yeah
still knocking about
yeah
I found a video of him
in the 70s
showing how to make a long egg
and he does it
sat down in a chair
with
in about three minutes
live
with no cuts
and
he actually makes it look
pretty easy
wearing a black shirt as well
it's very risky yeah and um he's anything proteinous he talks you through the process
of actually how to do it we'll have an egg pie look it's there at the beginning it's there in
the middle and it's still there going strong at the end now it's a row of eggs down the middle
it's a row of egg down the middle. It's a row of egg down the middle. Incorrect. There's your first mistake, pal.
It's there, solid all the way through.
Well, you just cut it across.
No, I didn't.
Look, if I hack it anywhere, the egg is still there.
Look, if you don't believe me, it's still there, still going strong.
You can't see the join.
It's the same in a scotch egg, if you can move along a bit there.
There he is.
Look, he's there on the beginning.
He's still there in the middle, and he's still there at the end.
How is it done?
How's it done?
And then he goes on to
create a long egg
with a kind of
I'm going to say a condom
no it's a
apparently you're supposed to make it
with sausage skin
and he does it with a load of
I can't remember what he actually calls it
it's a
it's
some sort of plastic
it's not a condom
it's like a plastic
kind of long plastic bag isn isn't it, really?
Basically, yeah.
But I do think that Keef's method
is a little bit more workable than Fred's,
to be honest, because I think Fred's,
the white of the egg is too thin.
Yeah, I agree.
So I'm not having it.
I agree.
We're not suggesting that Keef cooks
is the last word in long egg making.
No.
We're just suggesting that he's the person who brought it to the wider Luke and Pete show community.
Yeah, do check out Keith Cooks.
K-E-E-F-C-O-O-K-S.
That's how you spell Cooks.
He started doing live streams, which is fascinating.
He actually doesn't look like Colonel Sands.
He looks a bit like Andrew Jennings, the man who brought down FIFA.
He does a little bit.
So this is the start of his live stream.
Okay.
So he just says, okay.
Pass himself a stout.
And then...
He just looks into the camera.
For ages.
For ages. For ages.
And then...
This is intense.
Does he know it's on?
Yeah.
He knows that he's streaming.
Then he gets a sign.
I think he thinks there's no sound.
Do you reckon?
No, no.
Because what he does at the end,
he puts up a sign saying,
going to the toilet.
And then he just leaves the frame.
Go before you come on, Keith.
It should be the first thing you do.
He takes his beer as well.
It's the weirdest thing.
Oh, Keith.
I love Keith Cooks.
Where would we be without the eccentricities of Keith Cooks?
That's what I want to know.
So there we go.
That's number five.
Magic.
Right, coming in at number four, we're going to take a bit.
It's still food related. Right. But we're going to take a bit... It's still food-related.
Right.
But we're going to take a bit of a turn.
Do you want to give me one of your fanfares?
All right, then.
Keith Cooks.
No, number four,
I'm sad to say,
is Toilet Bread.
Oh, no.
And this comes from an email from Tom Byfield,
which I'm going to reread
in case you guys, in some weird way,
don't remember this appalling episode. D morning chaps i thought i'd regale you with a
story that was told to me by a good friend of mine over the weekend my pal is a police officer
who was telling me some of the funniest stories that he's discovered while working on the force
his team were tipped off about a large drug deal that was going to happen in an underpass in
bristol they filled the underpass with undercover police officers and when a slightly odd looking gentleman carrying a brown paper bag entered the
public toilet in the underpass their interest was piqued when the gentleman left the toilet five
minutes later without said brown bag they detained him for interrogation he would not tell them where
the bag had gone or what was inside the bag despite hours of questioning eventually he cracked and admitted
that he wasn't doing anything illegal but initially been too embarrassed to tell them what he'd
actually been up to in the toilet apparently this man's fetish was to buy a fresh loaf of bread from
a baker's take it into a public toilet wipe the seat with the bread and then sit on the toilet
and eat it a truly horrendous story but one i thought you may enjoy well we haven't enjoyed it tom but it
has made it into the top five um toilet bread was number four in our listeners list of things that
were most memorable about this show now before i get your comments on this p in retrospect um
on urban dictionary now i know you can find anything on urban dictionary there's an entry
as follows called bread leaving the act of leaving slices of bread in public toilets
to absorb the aroma of the cubicles
where random sexual encounters take place.
The bread is then removed and then taken home,
held up to one's nose and masturbated wildly to
while enjoying the smell of a public toilet
in the comfort of your own home.
It's out there.
It's out there.
It's happening.
This is something that's happening.
Does bread absorb the smells of things quite readily?
I guess, well, I suppose, yeah, I don't know.
I mean, the overwhelming smell would probably be of bread.
Yeah, surely.
Because it's quite an emotive fragrance, isn't it?
Just rub some Domestos on some bread.
I think you've got all the smells.
If you've come home after a day's work or whatever,
or you wake up in the morning
and the first thing you get
is freshly baked bread
wafting through your house,
you're loving that.
I guess.
But if you get to the bread
and you start slicing it
and it's covered in
actual piss,
it's not as nice.
I guess smell is more evocative
than anything,
isn't it?
It takes you back.
It takes you back,
doesn't it?
What are your thoughts
on this second time around because well if you're
well if you're really um i don't know about the eating thing i don't really get the eating thing
but the smelling thing i can kind of get because obviously again as i said it's quite evocative
um it takes you back to where you were back in the day um and if you're if you have like a
particularly defining or exciting sexual experience in a public toilet or you've seen one yeah um
that's going to take you back and remind you
of how good it was to see a man joylessly pull his winky.
But why is the bread in there?
This is the thing.
Because you can smell the toilet smells.
It's like an association.
Yeah.
But just use a cloth.
Or a vial.
Use a vial.
Yeah.
There's nothing to get bread in.
I don't have any problem. Just jerk off nothing to get bread involved I don't have any problem
just jerk off in the cubicle
I don't have anything
like everyone else does
I don't have a problem
with any of it
apart from the bread
I don't know where the bread's coming in
yeah
what is it
because it's a cheap
particularly cheap food stuff
anyone can
it's very egalitarian
you bread
it's cheap
you get a loaf of 50p
it's to me
and also part of me
I know you're going to hate this
but part of me really likes nicely made artisan food
because people have put time into it.
I don't want to hear that you're getting
like an artisan sourdough,
which has been lovely made by a guy
who woke up at four in the morning
and really loves his craft
and rubbing it around a toilet seat.
I think it's disrespectful to the art.
Well, I think anything with a hard crust
isn't going to absorb.
It's not.
You need a mighty white.
Not even a Kingsmill.
Kingsmill, you need a white, anemic, bleached rotter of a bread.
The bread that you like.
A Danish, a little Danish loaf maybe.
A mighty white.
Mighty white, yeah.
A champion.
Remember champion?
Champion, yeah.
Anyway, so that was, I mean, I don't know if we've ever been lower than that.
No.
The bread and toilet business.
But, you know, thanks to Tom Byford for getting in touch touch that was very popular with the listeners so you got um number three moving
on to number three if you want to give us a little fanfare pete comes from uh mr damien cunningham
now this one was something i didn't immediately remember and i don't think you did either
um but it is really good.
I really like it.
And so I'll just read it now from Damien.
He says,
Hi, Luke and Pete.
I have a summer-themed story
in a similar story,
a similar vein, sorry,
to Pete's story about putting
his father's condom to his lips accidentally.
Now, that was a big moment as well,
but it didn't make the top five.
You found what you thought
was a balloon under your parents' bed
turned out to be a used condom.
And that's really where
we should leave that.
Damien says,
once when he was about five,
he attempted to superglue
his teeth and lips shut
in order to become
a better ventriloquist
and be more like Garfield.
Oh dear.
Now, where do you think,
what's the ventriloquist crossover with Garfield here?
Because Garfield is a cartoon cat, not a ventriloquist.
It must be two separate things.
Well, he shored his teeth, didn't he?
But he would kind of like, he would dream the things he was thinking.
He would never say anything out loud, would he?
I don't think so, no.
He had that big sort of grin though.
Yeah.
He said, I remember my mother freaking out, which in hindsight is understandable because
despite all preconceived notions,
she does actually care about me,
and rushing me to the doctor.
And I remember being quite,
because I missed Fraggle Rock that evening.
It's quite an 80s story.
With my blistered.
Yeah, so I quite like that because in a way it's very indicative
of what our listenership are like.
It's like a therapy
session. Can you remember
anything
that either you did or your friends did that was anywhere
near like that?
To kind of emulate
their...
No, I don't think so.
I remember
seeing a TV show of a woman who
had issues with her front teeth
and one of them
had fallen out
but instead of
going to the dentist
she got into a habit
of just super gluing
it back in
over and over again
and I think it used
to work for like a day
and then next morning
she'd have to do it again
sort of thing
because she was so terrified
of the dentist
which is an awful story
but I don't know
if a five year old
should be knocking about
with super glue
yeah
do you? my dad used to i think
i've probably spoken about this before but my i had a great love for my dad had this kind of very
strong i think it was like a some kind of metal polymer mix i don't know how those two things
would mix but it was like this um paste and there was an orange tub that looked like um a small
munition uh and there was a grey one as well.
And you used to get the paste, the white paste. Oh, I remember this.
You used to have to mix it.
And mix it up.
And it wasn't like...
It was called Araldite, wasn't it?
No, it wasn't Araldite.
No, it was a strong metal.
It was a metal kind of mix.
Where did he get it from?
Well, work, I presume.
Right.
But you'd have to mix it together.
And it would make this wonderful kind of solid,
almost like stone kind of metal kind of uh thing it was a fantastic bit of
work but yeah i anything you got a mix makes you sound makes it a bit more exciting i remember my
dad mixing stuff but i thought it was araldite yeah it's not really funny yeah araldite has a
i think you still get it it's like a mixing thing what was the purpose of that well it activates
each the chemicals in each so it's stronger's stronger. Yeah otherwise like you just have
a there'll be no
point in selling it
because it would
be a solid glue
already.
I remember I
remember um
did I tell you
about the time I
dropped a whole
jug of oh yeah
I have told you
this because you
told me a story
similar where I
dropped a swarf
eager and it
went up into my
eyes.
Yeah.
It's a bit like
it's like a um
sort of 80s
kitchen based
working class version of when Dennis Nedry gets spat on by the dinosaur in Jurassic a sort of 80s kitchen-based working-class
version of when
Dennis Nedry
gets spat on
by the dinosaur
in Jurassic Park.
It was like
this green goop
in my face.
Anyway,
so the man who glued
his durian lips together
as a child
to be like Garfield
is number three.
Thank you,
Damien Cunningham,
for that contribution.
Number two,
this one is a
more recent one
and I think
very controversial
but Pete
give me another little fanfare
I'm going to have to remind you
every single time
I think they're getting better
this is from Andy McNeil
can you remember Andy McNeil
did he write Bravo 2-0
yes he did
no not that
Andy McNeil is the man
who has never
eaten a crisp
oh yeah
not having that
nonsense
absolute nonsense
gents having heard you
speak about crisps
and just an everyday chat
favourite crisps
is always a popular
conversation topic
I however
have never eaten
a crisp in my life
and I am 31 years old
for some reason
it was one of those things
that when I was a toddler
I just decided
I never liked
having never tasted
this progressed into my youth and soon it became me just being stubborn and now it's
almost like a phobia normally when i tell people normally it's my mates um their instant reaction
is what about quavers what about hula hoops and go on to name every single brand answer is always
the same yeah my thinking now apart from the fact that i'm probably scared is i eat enough
shite like chocolate and biscuits so i can do without them. I include nachos in this,
and the nearest thing is eating
one of those sweet potato biscuit things.
I don't know what that is.
Papa Dom's.
Yeah, utterly nonsense,
but something I'm ridiculed for constantly.
Now, we extended an invite to Andy to come in.
And eat a crisp.
To eat a crisp, but I've not heard back from him.
So he's probably listening to this.
It was a long time ago.
Yeah, he's probably listening.
Maybe he ate a crisp and went into encephalactic shock
or something and died.
Yeah, maybe.
We can only hope
because his behaviour
is abhorrent.
Yeah.
I don't know if I'm going
to get through a week
without eating a crisp.
It's something I never buy
but if I see a ball
of them at work,
I'm like,
they're gone.
They are gone.
Isn't there a crisp shop
near your house?
Oh, yeah.
Hip Chips.
It's like an artisanal
crisp shop.
The sweet ones are horrible.
They're just really kind of...
They're fancy crisps,
but the problem is
there's a little bit of root vegetable action in there.
I don't...
I have no truck with that.
I have no...
Sorry, I have no...
Beetroot, sweet potato, parsnip.
Disgusting.
Why?
They absorb the oil in a different way
and they're rigid and oily and disgusting.
Stick to the potatoes, guys.
Stick to the classics.
Andy McNeil,
you're not missing out on much.
But hip chips,
they've got little dips
like katsu curry
and jam
and all kinds of stuff
and you can have it sweet.
Yeah, you brought them
to the studio once.
They were alright.
I didn't really like the sweet ones.
Not much to write home about.
It's also about 100 quid
for a box of them as well
to make it financially viable
for them.
Alright, so number five
was a long egg.
Number four
was toilet bread.
Number three was,
actually,
all these are food related.
Absolutely all of them.
What?
Because the man
who glued his jaw shut,
the boy,
he obviously can't eat
so it is sort of food related.
The boy.
Number two was
never had a crisp.
Number one,
I think you can probably
all guess it.
I'm not going to introduce it.
I'm just going to read
the email again
because it's a classic.
It is a classic. So here it goes. Let me just grab it so I can actually guess it. I'm not going to introduce it. I'm just going to read the email again because it's a classic. It is a classic.
So here it goes.
Let me just grab it
so I can actually see it.
Right, here we go.
It's from Dan
and it goes as follows.
Upon hearing your patter
about what families talk about
over the dinner table,
I was transported back
to a Christmas dinner
I had with my family,
the best part of a decade ago.
Quick background.
I grew up on the outskirts of the lovely city of bath in a conservative somewhat christian focused household for all of my adolescence i concealed my deviant side from my strict god
fearing but otherwise lovely parents that is until my first christmas back after starting
uni in liverpool oh i'd never been one for swearing much, especially not in front of my parents.
But going to Union,
a much bigger and livelier city,
surrounding myself
with gruffer people,
I'd picked up the habit
of effing and jeffing
like I was a sailor
down the Albert Dock.
Not wanting to upset my parents,
I'd kept my foul tongue in check
all over the Christmas holiday.
That was
until Christmas dinner itself.
My favourite thing
about Christmas dinner
has always,
and will always be, pigs in blankets.
Indeed, I'd always sneak an extra one,
more than was probably approved by my father,
and hoped there'd be plenty left over
once I'd forced down all the dry meat and veg.
However, this year, my mother,
always fond of the finer things in life,
took it upon herself to empty the half dozen or so
pigs in blankets left over onto her own plate
before she'd even finished her roasties, the total cheat.
Without thinking, in total disgust, I said,
You greedy cunt.
Well, that was it.
So strong.
Mayhem.
My father dropped his glass of wine, smashing instantly,
startling the cat to the point it jumped directly onto the dinner table.
The dog, Gandalf, not wanting to be outdone, instantly leapt from the floor to the table to chase the cat trampling on all the fruits of my
mother's labor before settling into the bowl of cauliflower cheese my mother was shell-shocked
and her only words to me the rest of the day were that she was heartbroken my sister vowed to never
speak to me again as i'd ruin her favorite meal of the year while my three brothers raged from
indifference one of them's a pothead to finding it hilarious my dad told me it best i didn't
accompany the family to the traditional after dinner drink in the local pub the first time i
could have gone and legally enjoyed an adult beverage which i must admit hurt to this day
my parents refer to it as the incident in quotes and whenever one of my siblings invariably brings
up over a family meal a cold chill passes around the dinner table my mother's eyes narrow and my
father's cheeks turn to a delightful shade of pink as it is i regret that so much food went to waste
but she was being greedy love the show guys all the best dan oh it's always going to be in our
mind nothing more to say is there just kill it there
that's episode 100
thanks very much
for your support
over the 100 episodes
you've listened to
we look forward to
making some more for you
I've got to do more of them
if I can persuade Pete
to do so
and we will
all being well
see you next week
in the meantime
be a good person
don't be a greedy cunt
yeah
see you later cunts
bye In the meantime, be a good person. Don't be a greedy cunt. Yeah. See you later, cunts.
Bye. Bye.
Bye. Any final words Pete?
See you later
