Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Luke and Pete show live show we're coming live at you from Fallujah we didn't want to tell anybody about it because it was going to be a bit of a security risk but yeah we're here in Fallujah and we're doing a live show for you guys. So buckle in. It's bloody hot. It is bloody hot. Is it hot now there? I don't know. I don't know. I don't really know. We're not there
Starting point is 00:00:31 and we probably never will be there. Episode 106. Reach for the stars. That's the subtitle for this show. Reach for the stars. That's what you're doing there. What were you doing there? No, reach for the stars.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I don't know what that is. No. Nor do you. Reach for the stars. That's what you're doing there. What were you doing there? No, reach for the stars. I don't know what that is. No. Nor do you, I don't think. Reach for the stars. You're making your own songs up again. Yeah, it's cool. How have you been, Luke Moore? All right?
Starting point is 00:00:53 You're still wearing your hat in the studio. Taking a slug of water is what I'm doing. Taking a slug of water. Don't screw the Nalgene bottle again. No, because if I screw it on, if I knock it or you knock it, we don't get a spillage. No one's going to knock it. It's nowhere near me. Right.
Starting point is 00:01:05 There you go. I've knocked it. What's nowhere near me. Right. There you go. I've knocked it. What's happened? I'm going to stamp on that. Nothing's happened because the lid's on. So there we are. What have I been up to? Not much.
Starting point is 00:01:13 I'm keeping my hat on because my hair's at a weird in-between stage at the moment. I won't get into it, but I'll probably take it off in a wee while when I get warm. Oh, just remember, we're not in Fallujah. I'm going to keep it on. But other than that, mate, all good, thank you. Business as usual, usual stuff. I was five minutes late for the show because I was in Starbucks
Starting point is 00:01:33 and the bassist from the band The Kooks was in front of me and he was ordering a needlessly technical order involving hot cheese. I mean, that wasn't going in his coffee, let's make that very clear, but he was having a cheese toast, he certainly,
Starting point is 00:01:48 which is a slightly more involved situation when it comes to making breakfast. Let's talk about that, because he's the one who looks like, who's starting to look a little bit like Art Carfunkel, and it's very funny. I don't care about the kooks, particularly. They're back, Luke. A couple of good tunes.
Starting point is 00:02:05 You'll be, no doubt. The lead singer's called Luke. He is, Luke Pritchard, and no doubt, in about the kooks, particularly. They're back, Luke. A couple of good tunes. You'll be, no doubt... The lead singer's called Luke. He is, Luke Pritchard. And no doubt, in about a month's time, you will be sat in a studio somewhere pretending to like them. That was last month. You've already done it.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I've already done it, yeah. Luke's actually quite nice. I didn't realise. I'm sure he's lovely. I'm just saying, you don't listen to the kooks, but you'll pretend you do. No, I'll just say, oh, that was a good... Saying something's a good album doesn't mean that you have to have listened to it.
Starting point is 00:02:28 You are blowing the radio industry wide open with these sort of revelations, my friend. What I wanted to pick up on was the idea of queuing under pressure. Now, you're late for an engagement here with me. That's fine. I'm used to that sort of stuff. It doesn't matter. But sometimes, for example... I don't care anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:44 That's the problem. Exactly. It's only going to get worse for you. It's't matter. But sometimes, for example... I don't care anymore. That's the problem. It's only going to get worse for you. It's going to get better for me, worse for you. Well, I've got to find someone else, I'm going to say as talented, probably more talented, just to mosey along with and just leave you behind. But that's not a stressful situation.
Starting point is 00:02:58 What a stressful situation is, is something I experienced the other day, which is I was going back through London Victoria Station and my wife said oh can you pick up some something for dinner on the way home it's quite late so i thought yeah i'll grab um burritos because we both quite like mexican food grab a couple of burritos so i'll do that walk into the victoria concourse and there's about 12 minutes till the train for perfect nip into there get the burritos what they're going to get made right there and then? Yeah, at a place called Tortilla,
Starting point is 00:03:25 they make them in front of you. Almost like a subway type thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I get there, new guy working, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:03:32 New guy. 12 minutes, yeah, that's not enough time to make two burritos. And I'm ordering two at the same time for me and someone else,
Starting point is 00:03:40 but that other person isn't there. So he's, that's confused him. Yeah. Straight away. So I said, can I have a burrito and a burrito bowl please okay gets the burrito sort of tortilla wrap thing out and the burrito bowl yeah i thought you wanted a burrito no i do i want that bowl as
Starting point is 00:03:55 well i want both right and we can and we can we can discuss the connotations of a man of my size ordering two meals for himself if you want. But ultimately, I just want both. And then the worst thing was, halfway through, you get the question, do you want cheese or sour cream or both? What do you prefer? I just put everything on it. That's easy. Just get it on there.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yeah. Refried beans. Get the guac. I don't care if it's extra. Just give me everything. Yeah. So I wanted just cheese and not sour cream,
Starting point is 00:04:26 but he's got confused and put cheese and sour cream on. He's put sour cheese on it. Yeah. So what do I do at that point? I basically have to... You've just got to suck it up.
Starting point is 00:04:35 That's what I did. Add two. Literally suck up the sour cream and go on. Because that man is new and I understand that and I'm not trying to denigrate the training practices
Starting point is 00:04:43 of that particular Mexican restaurant. I'm sure it's good and I was in a I'm not trying to denigrate the training practices of that particular Mexican restaurant I'm sure it's good and I was in a hurry the stress was unbelievable I could feel the sweat building on my back I've had to go home
Starting point is 00:04:52 eat a burrito I didn't really want because of the ingredients he's put in it because otherwise I'd have missed the train it's only on the way home that I realised
Starting point is 00:05:00 it's only 10 minutes for a train probably should have just waited you've got but if you're working on a meal at a train station, you have to be the best of the best, in my humble opinion,
Starting point is 00:05:10 because you know that people are under time constraints. The amount of times I think to myself about a member of staff working at some sort of concession stand at a train station, do you not know that there's a train coming? The one at my local train station, they've got a little sign up. It's like a coffee shop there. They're all really nice,
Starting point is 00:05:29 but there's a sign up saying, oh, if your train's on the way, let us know and we'll try and do it faster. Well, hang on. Just do it fast, yeah. Yeah, do it fast you can anyway. And there was only one train at the platform. I'm not coming to West Norwich train station
Starting point is 00:05:42 just to have a little mosey around. Oh, which train do I fancy? I'm getting that train. That's why I'm here. to West Norwich train station just to have a little mosey around. Oh, which train do I fancy? I'm getting that train. That's why I'm here. Anyway, stressful meals, stressful situations. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. Get in touch with them, and we will talk about them.
Starting point is 00:05:55 That is a rather elongated introduction to the show. That's Pete Donaldson. I'm Luke Moore. Recently on Luke and Pete, we've talked about, and I'm going to keep saying this, Pete, and I make no apology for it. Right, okay. A seal and an octopus teamed up to slap a man in the kayak.
Starting point is 00:06:08 You need to keep on going on about this story. It's months ago, mate. I don't care. Okay. It's timeless in my eyes. In a way, it sums up. Do you not think it sums up the, it's a sign of the times.
Starting point is 00:06:23 As human beings, we're destroying the world around us, destroying the environment. Yeah. And seals are teaming up with octopi and saying, no, enough. Slap him back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Take a bit of that. Stop eating my friends or eat it like this. Yeah. Well, you're bad for that. But the only way it could have been more poetic is if the octopus
Starting point is 00:06:40 had some sort of plastic wrapped around one of its tentacles. Yeah. An environmental disaster. Yeah. His head was stuck on a Starbucks cup. Yeah. And he'd fashioned a rudimentary octopus ski mask out of it.
Starting point is 00:06:51 He was looking through the eye holes he'd cut out with the help of the seal's teeth or claws. But I'm going to make no... Bones about it, like an octopus doesn't have any bones. Doesn't have any bones. It's got a beak. It's got a beak. I'm going to make an assumption that the guy in the kayak, I mean. It's got a beak. It's got a beak. I'm going to make an assumption
Starting point is 00:07:05 that the guy in the kayak, I mean, he's in a kayak. He's probably a dickhead. Probably deserves it. Sorry, I'm not... Apologies if you were some sort of environmental worker. That's going to backfire if he was.
Starting point is 00:07:16 He was literally serving octopuses and he was hoisted by his own petard. He was. And the octopuses said, that's what we think of your efforts, mate. Too little, too late, prick. I'm actually leaping out of an environment I feel safe in, where I can breathe, to tell you...
Starting point is 00:07:32 To put my suckers around your stupid fat head, you kayak idiot. Elsewhere, a man had a pen from NASA brought home from work by his dad. Jurassic Park with a live audience. Live orchestra, sorry, I should say. And a live audience. Literally eating grease for school dinners
Starting point is 00:07:47 oh yeah bit of dripping and Keith Cooks got in touch Keith Cooks legend of this parish legend of this parish what sort of parish
Starting point is 00:07:56 would this be Pete if you can think of a parish green in the middle perhaps an old sort of parish hall I'm thinking like the Wicker Man that kind of parish
Starting point is 00:08:02 are you in the Wicker Man I'm in the Wicker Man controlling it I've made I've put it on roller skates and I'm riding it around Wicker Man, that kind of parish. Are you in the Wicker Man? I'm in the Wicker Man, controlling it. I've put it on roller skates and I'm riding it around town like a straw-based Godzilla. And I'm running after you saying, if we can stop him, let's set it on fire. Let's set it on fire.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I've heard that Pete is like the mother of dragons and he can't actually burn. Let's find out. Let's find out let's find out I've never seen the Wicker Man oh it's brilliant yeah
Starting point is 00:08:28 do you want to hear I can do an impression of Edward Woodward at the opening scene if you want okay excuse me I'm an officer
Starting point is 00:08:35 from the mainland can you send over a dinghy that's Edward Woodward that's the first line so is it set off the coast of Scotland in one of those
Starting point is 00:08:43 funny little islands yes it is why does why do nobody go to the Faroe Islands? They're so close. They're absolutely miles away. They're so close, though, in reality. I'm going to find out. Find out how close the Faroe Islands are.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Okay. Unless I've got massively confused with some other islands. Do you want to know about the Wicked Mail or not? Yeah, go on. Okay. You can fly to the Faroe Islands from Scotland for £178. Yeah, exactly. You should do it. I mean, we all fly to Iceland, but we don't fly to the Faroe Islands from Scotland for £178 yeah exactly I mean we all fly to
Starting point is 00:09:06 Iceland but we don't fly to the Faroe Islands why not because Iceland's good isn't it well the Faroe Islands might be good
Starting point is 00:09:12 nobody knows I want to go to the Faroe Islands I also want to go to Greenland which is you can only fly I think from Iceland or possibly Sweden I'd love to go to Greenland
Starting point is 00:09:20 and it's basically just like riggers and businessmen tycoons and everyone just gets pissed all the time well you do that anyway
Starting point is 00:09:29 I know so you want to do what you do anyway just cold it I want to do it in Greenland I'd love to go to Svalbard as well Svalbard
Starting point is 00:09:35 which is an island up there I think that's where they've got do you remember we talked about the seed depository oh yeah where they hide all the seed I think that might be Svalbard the Joseph seed
Starting point is 00:09:43 I've forgotten what the original question was. Oh, The Wicker Man. Yeah, it's good. It's good. A police officer investigates a weird thing happening on an island. Well, that's solved. My mama thinks I'm lazy.
Starting point is 00:09:54 My friends all think I'm crazy. That was quite abrupt. I just thought we got an ad break quick and sharp, and we'd sound like a really well-oiled machine. Speaking of weird goings-on, and indeed that part of the world that we were talking about, like Greenland and Finland and Denmark and Sweden, people eat the weirdest things, Luke.
Starting point is 00:10:19 There was a man who suggested we talked about something called the Surstromming Challenge. Are you the Sörströmming Challenge. Are you familiar with the Sörströmming Challenge? Is it this fermented shark? It's fermented... In piss? Some kind of fish. No, not in piss.
Starting point is 00:10:34 In Iceland, they have a fermented shark that's fermented in piss. Yeah, I've had it. It's not very nice. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's basically a kind of like herring, I think, but it's not pickled. It's actually...
Starting point is 00:10:44 It's just... They've added just enough salt for it not to go off, if that makes any sense. And they put it in a can. It's not necessarily a delicacy, but it's become somewhat of a YouTube kind of trope that a lot of young women and men attempt the surstromming challenge. I'm probably saying this completely wrong, but it's basically Swedish for sour herring, surstromming. A lightly salted fermented Baltic sea herring. Basically, they just put it in a fucking can.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Oh, good God. Just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish a characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste. According to a Japanese study, a newly opened can of surf-storming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world. Stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as
Starting point is 00:11:34 the Korean Hong-ho-yo or Hong-ho-yo, sorry, Hong-yo-ho or the Japanese Koseya. This is your area this? Yeah, this is my area. Is that the one that Carl Pilkinson tried to eat when he did one of his Idiot Abroad episodes? Possibly.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Because that looks absolutely horrendous, the Korean one. It's just, what I like about it is that there's several kind of people on YouTube just trying to eat it. It's basically just kids on a heath in Sweden just eating, just trying to eat this putrid herring. Is it making them hell? And they're just vomiting immediately. As soon as they open the can And they're just vomiting immediately.
Starting point is 00:12:06 As soon as they open the can, they're just vomiting. There's one man I've seen who basically says, that's not how you eat suss thrumming. And basically he's out on his lawn and he opens the can. He's like going, and even him, the man who was eating it on more than one occasion, he can't help but kind of grimace and clearly look like he's about to fucking chuck up. So he gets the can open. I mean, I could play this out, Um, he can't help, but kind of grimace and clearly look like he's about to fucking chuck up. Um,
Starting point is 00:12:26 so he gets the can open. I mean, I could play this out, but it's not really much, uh, there's not really much point in doing it, but he opens a can, um, on his,
Starting point is 00:12:34 on his front lawn. And he's basically explaining a resource matter of fact, where this is not the way to eat. This is how you do it. So you take one fish, complete fish, it's a whole fish. How big is the fish?
Starting point is 00:12:43 About, what's that? Half a foot. So like, or a human foot sized fish. He takes the fish and he puts it on a plate. And basically, he just basically fillets it into two fillets, takes all of the crap out, because that's the stuff that makes it smell even worse.
Starting point is 00:13:01 And he puts it in this kind of like flat, kind of falafel roll sort of thing. And that's how he eats it. And he goes, it's not the greatest meal in the world. I'd hardly call it a delicacy, but you can eat it. And he ate it and you could see him, he's going, yeah, it's very, it's very, it's hot. It tastes hot.
Starting point is 00:13:20 He didn't say spicy. He says it tastes hot. Yeah, he gets through it. He's fine with it but it's just a really people really want to eat this fish I don't understand what the point of it is
Starting point is 00:13:29 what do you mean just to show off is it it's to show off it's a strong man thing oh look I can survive eating it without vomiting do you think you could do it no god no
Starting point is 00:13:36 do you know what it reminds me of do you remember that phase that people went through where they would I can't remember what it's called now this will make me sound really old but they would just neck bottles of spirits
Starting point is 00:13:47 and stuff. Oh yeah, that was, yeah. I can't remember what it's called. It was a little while ago, a couple of people died,
Starting point is 00:13:51 didn't they? Yeah, but there was a video I saw of a guy standing in some field somewhere, and I think he might have been from Scandinavia,
Starting point is 00:13:58 and he's got a full bottle, a large bottle actually, of Jack Daniels. Right. And he opens the seal to show that it's not been tampered with, and he just necks to show that it's not been tampered with and he just necks the whole thing
Starting point is 00:14:06 and it's risky but you could just immediately vomit well this is what I was going to say so as soon as he says right there you go I've done it
Starting point is 00:14:13 and then the camera just stops surely he's just going to go and puke that up yeah again it's risky you're going to be pissed out your fucking mind but you need to get that out
Starting point is 00:14:21 and get out pretty quickly yeah pretty quick get some charcoal down there. I'd be dead. Shall we do some emails? Alright then, darling. Alright, baby doll. I've got an email here from a man who's emailed us while stoned, and
Starting point is 00:14:36 I can't believe this hasn't happened before. I can't believe it's taken us to episode 106, given the type of show we make, for Nathan Ross to get in touch. Clearly high. and he says i i drink so much and i i've never i don't really do that side of things and i think i'd probably enjoy it more you know that this is the best thing about this pete i'll read the email in a second he is high he's told us an email he's high why do you want to email when you're high yeah
Starting point is 00:15:01 as alex teller said um just guess what the subject of the email was. Bimbap. I don't know. Subject of the email was just enjoying it. Yes. Don't give us full name. Don't give us full name.
Starting point is 00:15:16 He's called Nathan. Nathan. Nathan for us. Hey fellas, listener from the start. Although on both occasions I've emailed you before, I was severely stoned
Starting point is 00:15:23 as I'm a Los Angeles native who works in creative advertising and i'm quite frequently high i'm high now is he a micro dorsa to keep up with the big boys i take an lsd in the morning i don't think it's micro uh this might get a bit long so heads up the first all the emails are all the sentences are really short the first email was immediately following a listen and I misremembered the topic at hand and my email was not relevant. The second time I emailed, while listening about my supplier teacher, who, as I remember,
Starting point is 00:15:52 but never actually researched, might have murdered his wife, I supplied a link to the article I didn't read. I was wondering why my email hadn't been read out on the pod. I viewed the email I sent and decided to read the article. It proved my story partially false.
Starting point is 00:16:04 He'd only attempted to murder her. He didn't actually do it. I digress. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the email I sent and decided to read the article it proved my story partially false that he'd only attempted to murder her he didn't actually do it I digress I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the shows especially Room 101 and Room 102 would love a semi-regular appearance keep on keeping on, Nathan he's just saying hello isn't he
Starting point is 00:16:17 it's the art of saying everything and nothing at once just loving it or just apologising for his previous conduct but fair play, it's got him on the show yep Just loving it. Yeah. Or just apologising for his previous conduct. But fair play, it's got him on the shore. Yep. Oh, that is very enjoyable. I enjoyed it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I do wonder how many people actually listen to this nonsense while they are stoned. Just enjoying it. Just enjoying it. I am high now. This might get a bit long. It's not long. It's only two paragraphs. No, exactly. Some of the emails we get are obscene.
Starting point is 00:16:43 They are very long. As soon as you look at it, you're going, what am I? I'm looking for keywords. It's only two paragraphs. Some of the emails we get are obscene. They are very long. As soon as you look at that, you're going, what am I? I'm looking for keywords. Dead animals, penis, shit. Anything like that. Dead penis.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah, I can't find it. That might be a little heads up to our listeners. If you do want to get in touch, of course, as you all know by now, hello at lukeandpetershow.com. But brevity is the soul of wit, as I think Shakespeare said that, didn't he? So therefore, if you can't explain it in three or four paragraphs,
Starting point is 00:17:09 Pete will certainly not read it. No, God no. And I will find it very, very tough to do so, so just bear that in mind. God no. We've got an email from Johnny Dern. Hey, Johnny Dern. Is it Hey Johnny Park, that song? Foo Fighters, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 I forget how that goes now. Is it like that? now. Is that it? Is that it, Jenny Park? Sounds about right. The first two Foo Fighters albums were incredibly good and the rest were absolute shite. I like the Foo Fighters. And I will go further than you and say that
Starting point is 00:17:36 the first two albums you're talking about, The Colour and the Shade. The Foo Fighters and The Colour and the Shade. Yeah, and the self-titled one. I think the one with... The rain is here and you my dear still my friend yeah thank you very much the two of us are back as one again i was the one who left you oh he's coming back i cannot forget you girl now i am up in arms again up in arms uh by the
Starting point is 00:18:02 excellent by the excellent food um Fighters the band Nirvana could have been I like their first four albums whoa steady what's on the first what's on the third and the fourth
Starting point is 00:18:11 well the third one is there's nothing good you tit the third one is there's nothing left to lose yeah but what's on that what's the
Starting point is 00:18:17 singles give me the singles maybe stacked dead actors stacked dead actors oh yeah that's alright yeah and learning to fly
Starting point is 00:18:21 which is a classic yeah it's hard to disagree with that one to be fair. But they're definitely kind of... The video is... They're lifting off, aren't they? He's brilliant in the video.
Starting point is 00:18:32 He's brilliant in the video. That's about being on drugs, isn't it? It is, and he plays every character in the video pretty much, including the baby. Taylor Hawkins always dresses as a lady. It's funny. It's very funny.
Starting point is 00:18:41 The fourth one is the one with... All my life I've been searching for something. Yeah. You're not having that, are you? I followed it. And times like these. Times like these.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Classic. Anyway, I sound like the most uncool dad ever, so we're going to carry on. Foo Fighters, though, I don't mind them. I didn't mind the Sky is a Neighbourhood from their recent... Sky is a Neighbourhood. And they play the Brits, and they were playing on top of a roof.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And then Kendrick Lamar's friend came on and beat up a car. Nobody explained what, I don't know who that man was. I'm not into his music. And then did the online coverage of the ceremony cut to you on the red carpet going, Goodness me. Goodness me. That was crazy. What a waste of a Lambo.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Right, this comes from Johnny Dunn. Hey, guys. Long-time listener, first-time emailer. That classic line. I know that Pete particularly is a staunch socialist who will love this tale, which I was made aware of by my friend Hoggy. Due to his influential role in the removal of Serbian forces
Starting point is 00:19:37 from Kosovo in 1999, Tony Blair... Whoa, whoa. Whoa. This is gone. This isn't Johnny Dunn. Johnny Dunn didn't do this. Right. Johnny Dunn's influential role in removing Serbian forces from Kosovo.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Tony Blair. Tony Blyer. War criminal Tony Blair has received the honour of having numerous Kosovo and baby boys named after him. Did you know that? No, I didn't. So there's a lot of guys named like derivatives of the word Tony or Blair. For example, Tony Blair Sahiti. What?
Starting point is 00:20:08 Who said that Blair, original, was a very great man. Outrageously, his mum has been quoted as saying, he's even starting to look like Tony Blair. I think she panicked a little bit there. Perhaps the best example is Blair Tahiki or Tharki rather. I don't know where I got Tahiki from. I think I fancy a bit of Tahini. Blair Tahiki. I've said it again fancy a bit of Tahini. Blair Tahiki.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I've said it again. Taiki. Taki. Thaki. Either Taki or Thaki. You really should be wearing a hat hard on. Who? I've made a hat hard on.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I've done it again. Who was born the 4th of August 1999, who is now a professional footballer for an Albanian second division side. Maybe if Kosovo miraculously make the Euros in 2020, Tony Blair's namesake will have finally made it to the big time I for one love the image
Starting point is 00:20:47 of Kosovans running around and him Tony Blair after the great man surely there must be a few Sherry Blairs as well love the show keep up the good work Johnny
Starting point is 00:20:56 Johnny do you think Tony Blair that football player started out playing on the left yeah moved in as you get older
Starting point is 00:21:04 yeah and now he's sort of inside right inside right position he's inside right in in
Starting point is 00:21:12 the I'm trying to think what country he sort of spends he spends most of his time in like Dubai sort of areas isn't he
Starting point is 00:21:17 sort of like doing that getting paid loads of money for speeches very nice thanks for that Johnny Dern
Starting point is 00:21:27 I'm on different hours now Tony Blair Tony Blair Dern have you moved in terms of your radio show Pete have you moved to
Starting point is 00:21:34 a different show now and that's why you're tired today yeah I got a bit I watched last night I watched
Starting point is 00:21:40 the TV show is it the stairway or stairwell or something the staircase staircase how many eps in are you two no spoilers no spoilers it's brilliant Last night I watched the TV show. Is it The Stairway or The Stairwell or something? The Staircase. Staircase. How many eps in are you? Two.
Starting point is 00:21:46 No spoilers. I've seen it all. It's fucking brilliant. It's brilliant. It's so good. I quite like the people who were sort of preparing him for the trial. I quite like those guys. David Rudolph, the lawyer.
Starting point is 00:21:57 What a dude. What a dude. What a dude. Is he up there with, because Make the Murderers is back soon, isn't it? It is, yeah. Season two is coming back soon. Is he up there with the Because Make the Murderers is back soon, isn't it? It is, yeah. Season 2 is coming back soon. Is he up there with the Make the Murderers guys? I thought those two cool lawyers that the Dassies had, or the Dassie had...
Starting point is 00:22:11 Dassie and Stephen Avery. Yeah. I thought that they'd sort of be more of a big star because they obviously broke out a little bit, didn't they? Yeah, they were for a bit, yeah. On The Staircase, obviously I won't spoil it for you or for anyone listening but I recommend
Starting point is 00:22:25 you watch it it's on Netflix I think I talked about it last week there was a bit you did talk about it see I was wondering last night when I
Starting point is 00:22:32 started watching it it got suggested maybe my phone was listening to the Luke and Pete show and they knew I needed to watch this TV show
Starting point is 00:22:39 I did tell you anyway it doesn't matter but I've got I meet your friend Dave Cooper he tweeted me the other day saying oh i've heard you talk about the staircase on luke and pete but um you have to understand it only tells really half the story is edited in a certain way right the editor i think
Starting point is 00:22:56 of the show itself i think is now in a relationship with the main guy the subject of it so there's a bit of a few question marks around that anyway I don't want to get into that. Well, you've already spoiled it now, haven't you? What? If you watch the first episode and he's this happily married guy with a woman, you've already spoiled one of the spoilers, haven't you? Well, hang on a minute. If he's gone out with a director.
Starting point is 00:23:15 No, I didn't say that. I said the editor is now going out with the suspect. Presumably, in a 12-part fucking murder mystery, there's going to be a suspect. So that's not a spoiler, is it? No. It's not 12 episodes of them going someone must have done this
Starting point is 00:23:27 and we can't find anyone. No but you said he. Yeah. Which is one of the spoilers in the second episode that the guy's bisexual. Well you just spoiled that. I haven't said that.
Starting point is 00:23:36 What's that got to do with anything? You said he is going out with the main suspect. No. I said the editor is now going out with the main suspect. The editor. You said the editor. Full stop. He is now going out with the main suspect. The editor?
Starting point is 00:23:45 You said the editor, full stop. He is now going out with the main suspect. Okay, well, she's a woman. Oh, shit! Yeah, so I don't know why I would have said that. Maybe I've just editorialised myself. Yeah, and I know for a fact you won't listen, go back and listen,
Starting point is 00:23:57 so there's no way you'll get out of this one. Anyway, my main point is Dave Cooper said, you've got to listen to this episode of a Five Live podcast called Beyond Reasonable Doubt. And that gives you the other side of the story as well. I mean, what do you need? What can we do? Like, I can't just endlessly, just give me my stuff where it is.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I want to watch, I'll watch the 12 parts, but I'm not going to do extra research. That's for the defence. That's for the guy who's doing the fucking blood spatter. The blood spatter. The blood spatter guy that everyone was racist about. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't trust him.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Why? I don't know. It's the South End. I don't know. We're not doing spoilers. I've told you. Can I please just say one? Oh, I couldn't understand a word that man was saying. Prick.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Got back to David Cooper. I said to him, Sorry, David. Is that episode of Beyond Reason Without... Is that a Radio Stakhanov show? I'm not fucking listening to it then, pal. So, no. The answer is no. I will not listen to it. Wind your neck in, Cooper. Is that episode of Beyond Reason Without... Is that a Radio Stakhanov show? I'm not fucking listening to it then, pal. So no. The answer is no.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I will not listen to it. Wind your neck in, Cooper. Yeah. Anyway. Just because Spotify are now doing podcasts. I can't wait for you to finish because you've got a spoiler moratorium, haven't you? You say after a certain amount of time,
Starting point is 00:24:56 you're not a player. And what is it? Because this show came out a while back. If it's a Netflix documentary that gets buried after three months, it's a six-month window. Okay. months, it's a six-month window. Okay. But if it's a film, two years.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Okay, so what we're going to do then, and we can tell people about this ahead of time so we don't spoil it then, because The Staircase originally came out in 2004, I think. Oh, did it? Right. Or 2005-ish. I wondered why everything was in there. Yeah, but then it got re-upped
Starting point is 00:25:20 when they tacked some stuff onto the end of it and turned it into this. I see. And I think it was released on Talk... I almost said TalkSport. TalkSport. On Netflix in 2012. So anyway, what we'll do is when you've finished it, we'll talk about it.
Starting point is 00:25:33 We'll do a little section on it. All right. And we'll give people the heads up so they can fast forward if they need to. Yay. All right. I've got an email here from Tom. I mean, feel free to fast forward through the show anytime you want. Just make sure you listen.
Starting point is 00:25:43 We're not your dads. Just download it. Yeah. We've got an email from Tom. Tom. and I'm just going to read it to you and I'm interested in your response Tyler what are you doing I don't know how to say it
Starting point is 00:25:52 Tyler Tom says hello I am a recent journalism graduate with two big passions one for podcasting and one for radio oh
Starting point is 00:26:00 the other for sport that's three that's three I'm a big fan of your content, and I'm a regular listener to the Luke and Pete show. I am emailing in to see if it would be possible to do some free work for you. Thanks for your time,
Starting point is 00:26:12 and I hope to hear from you soon. This guy also emailed the Ramble account as well. Did he? Yeah. What sort of work could he do? Give people an insight into what sort of jobs... Don't do that action. Give some insight into jobs
Starting point is 00:26:22 that he could possibly do around here. I've been recently watching the Attitude Era of WrestleMania. What does that mean? Well, it is like
Starting point is 00:26:31 when wrestling got a bit naughty, where like boobs and swear and sin, up yours. Right. Sticking the middle finger up to
Starting point is 00:26:39 authority. Okay. So that guy can suck my dick. I thought you were going to offer him some sort of role.
Starting point is 00:26:44 No. Oh, yeah, you can appear on our social media videos and stick your two fingers up at the camera or something. Yeah, I'm going to throw him in the bin like Terry Funk in WrestleMania 14. My semi-serious answer, Tom, is that although we probably give at least some... Well, listen, the shows that Pete isn't on that regularly do give some semblance of professionalism occasionally. Outrageous.
Starting point is 00:27:04 But I can assure you this is a two man band there's no work for you to do and if there was Pete would be doing it and he won't do it yeah
Starting point is 00:27:12 is that fair well I edit all of the shows that's true actually but we record them as live yeah we don't edit anything yeah we don't take anything out we're quite good
Starting point is 00:27:19 I add a compression algorithm and then I upload it an algorithm and that is a job you mean you press the it's an algorithm you press the compression button? It's an algorithm. You press the compression button.
Starting point is 00:27:26 It's an algorithm. Yeah, I start the wheels in motion. Oh, by the way, I've just been reminded. Remember when, back in the day, we talked about, I think you brought to the table, that Christopher Lambert of Highlander. Was blind. Was legally blind.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Yeah, or he certainly got very poor eyesight. Yeah, and did he have it at the time? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Why? Well, because I just, I was, I was thinking about when I, when I've thought about that, uh, it reminded me of something. Apparently this is a, this is a, I guess an interesting fact about an actor.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Did you know that in 1974, uh, Jack Nicholson was told by Time magazine like reporters or writers at Time magazine that his sister was actually his mother and his other sister was actually his aunt and by that time
Starting point is 00:28:14 both his mother and his grandmother were dead it's quite weird that don't you think that is weird why was he told by Time magazine
Starting point is 00:28:21 maybe they were just doing like a just digging around something doesn't work here yeah how did he take the news did we ever find out he probably just gave him by Time Magazine. Maybe they were just doing like a... Just digging around. They should have gone, something doesn't work here. Yeah. Ah. How did he take the news?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Did we ever find out? He probably just gave him a big grin. Go, go, go with a smile. Yeah. Yeah. And then Christian Slater did exactly the same thing. But later.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Oh dear. Alright Donny, that's probably about enough for this one, isn't it? I think we've all had enough. Yeah, I agree. But we'll be back next time, of course, at the usual date. I'll be back on Monday.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah. So we'll see you then. It's been an absolute pleasure. Yeah, it's been. I haven't done one of them for ages. There you go. There's one. Yeah, it's been.
Starting point is 00:28:58 You haven't done one of them since you broke the world record. Yeah, it's been. Spin.
