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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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...
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
and it's basically
just like
riggers
and businessmen
tycoons
and everyone just gets
pissed all the time
well you do that anyway
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
singles
give me the singles
maybe
stacked dead actors
stacked dead actors
oh yeah that's
alright yeah
and learning to fly
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
Johnny
do you think Tony Blair
that football player
started out playing
on the left

sort of areas
isn't he
sort of like
doing that
getting paid loads of money
for
speeches

thanks for that
Johnny Dern
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
a different show now
and that's why
you're tired today
yeah
I got a bit
I watched
last night
I watched
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Tyler
Tom says
hello
I am a recent journalism graduate
with two big passions
one for podcasting
and one for radio
oh
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,
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
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
when wrestling got
a bit naughty,
where like boobs
and swear and
sin, up yours.
Right.
Sticking the middle
finger up to
authority.
Okay.
So that guy can
suck my dick.
I thought you
were going to
offer him some
sort of role.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
You haven't done one of them since you broke the world record.
Yeah, it's been. Spin.
