Has this iPad been playing up for you, Luke, while I've been away?
No.
Just not being very responsive. It's upsetting me a bit.
In the year 110, Duan Ji, Chinese Protector General of the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, passed away.
Oh, I see.
This is episode 110 of the Luke and Pete show.
Yeah.
And there's your link.
There's your link.
I'm Luke Moore.
That's Pete Donaldson.
You are very, very welcome.
Come in.
Sit down.
Relax.
Make yourself a drink.
You're listening to...
But not in the studio because we don't have sugar in here.
No.
That'll get everything sticky.
We're getting cameras installed so you can watch all of our angles.
You might even see a nip slip or an upskirt if I'm wearing my kilt.
That's banned now, all that stuff.
What, nip slips?
Nip slips is such a disgusting term.
Nip slip.
I remember reading, I think, that upskirt photos have been banned
and thinking to myself, we really needed to ban that
didn't we
that was something
that we had to tell
people not to do
I thought that was
taken
I thought that was
taken
I thought that was
red
I don't
I think that's
illegal anyway
isn't it
imagine going to
a party or something
what do you do
I take upskirts
yeah
I mean what
just shine your shoes really well and you can look.
Don't give people ways to circumvent a law
which stops perversions of that, unwanted perversions.
Consensual perversions are absolutely fine among adults.
Unwanted, unsolicited perversions are not.
And Pete Donaldson, frankly, my friend, you should know better.
I had sex with a man
in my dream in my dream and i it rarely happens but i was like well i wasn't unsatisfied that's
all i'm saying oh goodness you're gonna have to expand on it what carry on just i just i was
having sex i was having sex with a man in me in a dream right that was it it must be more detail
than that are you too shy to say it i'm not too shy to say i just it was just a dude and i was With a man in a dream. Right. That was it. There must be more detail in that.
Or are you too shy to say it?
I'm not too shy to say it.
It was just a dude.
And I was like, I don't usually think about that.
And I was having sex with a man.
And I was like, this isn't that bad.
But then it was just, I was the top rather than the bottom.
That was going to be my next question.
Yeah, exactly.
So I didn't really see, he sort of turned around and I went, oh, it's a man.
I went, oh, that's interesting.
And then I walk off.
Tell us who it was.
There's a man by the name of Marcus Spallet.
I don't even...
I could not tell...
I mean, I presume every face in a dream
is like an amalgamation of different features
that you've seen before.
Sometimes you have a dream of someone
who's very obviously that person, isn't it?
Yeah, no.
I don't know.
I remember the time I had a dream that I tried to very obviously that person. Yeah, no. I remember the time
I had a dream
that I tried to punch
Chris Moyles in the face
but I couldn't.
That was definitely
Chris Moyles.
Yeah, just weird.
Not weird,
but yeah,
just like,
oh, that doesn't happen
very often.
No.
In a sexy dream.
No, it's never happened to me.
But, you know,
the subconscious can be
a complicated
and very interesting thing,
you know.
But I mean,
it was at the last minute, you know what I mean?
What do you mean?
It's not like I began the sexual congress with a man.
What would be wrong with that?
Perfectly acceptable.
Yeah, no, it was just as acceptable, but I'm just saying that...
It wasn't your intention.
It was not my intention.
It was a surprise.
That's why it stuck in my head, you know what I mean?
And what was your reaction to the surprise?
Jizz.
I'm joking.
I don't know what my reaction was.
Oh, dear.
If you're new to the show,
you can expect...
The thing about this is,
and I just want to list this
behind the curtain a little bit,
and we do say this show is unplanned.
It is unplanned,
apart from, of course, your emails
and maybe some bits and pieces
that we've picked up along the way.
But it is generally unplanned.
And I want people to understand
that this stuff that Pete drops in every so often,
I just had sex with a man in a dream.
That was just me remembering it, though.
I blew up, my dad's used condom once.
Well, that's another gay experience, isn't it, really?
Incestuous and gay.
You never tell me any of this stuff in advance.
No.
I'm not putting that in a running order.
There is no running order, let's be honest.
So I just want to make people clear that I've come to that as new as you have the listener.
Yeah.
What were you going to say, Peter?
A man had an elephant whip.
A man had an elephant whip to scare elephants away when I was in Zimbabwe.
And it really excited me, the noise it made.
It was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life.
It was incredible.
He just made it out of a strip of old tire, a bit of string, and a branch.
And I went, what's that?
And he goes, whip, elephant.
I went, you whip elephants?
He goes, no, it's just to scare them away.
And I went, how do you use it?
And he just picked it up
and made a thunderous noise.
I was like,
that is the most impressive thing
I've seen.
How does it rank alongside
hitting the hippo in the face
with a tea tray?
It was certainly up there.
It was certainly a very loud sound.
Just more impressive,
more visceral.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wowzers.
Could you,
could you,
if you had anything about you,
the old Pete Donaldson
would have got a photo of that
or a video of it.
I don't know why.
I felt like I was taking advantage
of asking him to keep on whipping
like a crazy whip man.
What sort of damage would it have done
if it had hit you on the arse?
Oh,
it would have taken my leg off.
It was so,
it was so violent.
How long was it?
It was probably about
from that wall out there
to here,
like if you spread it out.
Why don't you use a...
I don't know how you,
I don't know how he controlled
something so long
why don't you use
a unit of measurement
that our listeners
can understand
alright
8 metres
that's not what
you just described
there
8 metres
alright
10 feet
ok
10 feet's about
yeah 10 feet
3 metres then
yeah
they're very impressive
is that one of the
main takeaways?
Because we talked a bit about it last week,
but you didn't mention that.
I just remembered.
Actually, I only wrote down three things,
and that was one of the things.
One of the guys who was looking after us,
his local bank was doing some funny business with his money.
Every time his bank account balance changes,
he gets a text message.
And like at about one o'clock in the morning,
his bank account went from $800 down to $300,
up to $400, down to $100.
And then by six o'clock, it was back up to $800 as well.
Because of the currency?
Well, no, they were just clearly moving money around.
Oh, okay, right.
I didn't hear the first part.
Okay, fine.
Isn't that cheeky?
It is cheeky.
Cheeky little bank.
What cheeky little bank?
Pete, a shout out to Ryan Gilson, who sent this in.
We love you, RG.
We watch you every day on MTV.
Who the man, baby?
You the man, big boo.
No matter what you do, we got love for you.
Say my name, Pete Danson.
Luke Moore.
Thanks.
Listen to this.
Okay, Ryan Gilson has made us aware of this.
It's on the BBC website.
The local website actually was published on my birthday, which gives
an extra spice
knowing that someone was doing this on my birthday.
I'm going to read the headline, and I want
you to react, and then I'm going to tell you a bit more about it.
The headline is, Drunk Burglar
Rammed Worcester Shop Using Giraffe.
Right.
A burglar drunk on Lambrinium beer
used a giraffe statue
as a battering ram to break into a shop
and then fell asleep.
And then fell asleep, Peter.
See, right, right.
They shouldn't be doing clickbait on the BBC.
They're better than that.
Giraffe.
It's not a giraffe.
It's a giraffe statue.
It's a story based on a court report, though.
It's a giraffe statue, yeah, but it is a giraffe, isn't it?
He's not going to be having an actual giraffe in Worcester.
I mean, that would be brilliant. Well, no, but that's why you clicked on it. You didn't click on it is a giraffe, isn't it? He's not going to be having an actual giraffe in Worcester. I mean, that would be brilliant.
Well, no, but that's why you clicked on it.
You didn't click on it because a man smashed,
chucked a statue through a window and then fell asleep in it.
I'll tell you why I clicked on it.
Premium content provider Ryan Gilson sent it.
So I put it straight to the top of the inbox.
Gilfie Ryanson.
He's the best.
The reason why I was late, actually,
speaking of premium content dropping into our laps,
the reason why I was late was actually, speaking of premium content dropping into our laps,
the reason why I was late was because I'm late all the time.
But I did have a sort of a reason this time.
Okay.
It was a Tuttnacott Road station and an old foreign lady,
I'm not really sure where she was because I couldn't really pick up the accent.
The problem with me interacting with anyone not from these shores,
to be honest, the problem with me interacting with anyone,
to be honest, is the fact that I'm from the Northeast.
I have a very difficult accent for people to understand.
People in America, you'd probably equate it to something from the Deep South.
It's quite, it's earthy.
It's trustworthy, but a bit dim sounding.
I'm pleased you said that.
Before I just cut in and say that Edward Galbraith,
he ran the shop with a giraffe.
His defense counsel said his memory of the incident
is somewhat vague at best.
He's been drinking Lambrinian beer.
Carry on.
A woman, she calls up to me, she goes,
the first thing she said was, ticket man.
And I was like, oh, she wants to see the ticket man
to get a ticket.
And I was like, oh, yeah, it's just around here.
She goes, no, no, no, no, no.
Chicken mask.
And I was like, chicken mask?
Right.
And I was like, you want chicken?
And she went, yeah.
And I was like, right, I need to find her a supermarket
because she wants a chicken mask.
You're very helpful.
Chicken mask.
Most helpful man in central London.
I always get my phone out on Google Maps
because I don't really know where anything is.
And I always sort of think,
if they need to know where something is,
I can learn where it is too.
So I did it last Friday as well.
People were trying to find Piccadilly.
But I know the way that is.
Let's be very clear.
Anyway, and yeah, so chicken mask
chicken mask
and I was like
okay
she needs a supermarket
took her out of the station
up the escalators
and I was like
nearest Tesco
is sort of
north on Tottenham Court Road
so I'm like
over there
Tesco
Tesco
chicken mask
I mean I don't know
she was going to make a chicken mask
so I'm imagining
I'm imagining
like a kind of Buffalo Bill
kind of mask made of chicken skin.
She puts the lotion in the basket
or else she gets the holes again.
Pete, it's...
You're just thinking straight away,
practically,
how can I get all these ingredients?
Yeah, chicken mask.
Chicken mask.
And for me,
all right,
it's not the weirdest thing someone's asked me.
It's not the weirdest thing I've done.
Chicken mask, chicken mask.
Not the weirdest thing you've done this week.
Yeah.
I'm outside, chicken mask.
She didn't want chicken mask.
She wanted TK Maxx.
Oh, there it is.
And TK Maxx was just next door.
So that was really easy.
Out comes the phone again.
Out comes the phone again.
Very nice.
A ticket man, chicken mask, TK Maxx.
Got there in the end.
That's Boulder Dash.
Do you know in the US, TK Maxx is called TJ Maxx? You's Boulder Dash. Do you know in the US,
TK Maxx is called TJ Maxx?
You'd swallow in your coffee. I swallow in my coffee,
and I wanted to agree
in the strongest possible terms
with the weakest possible coffee.
I was going to talk to you a bit
about a frozen lake in India
full of skeletons,
but I think I'll leave that for next time.
Why don't we take a quick ad break,
and then after that,
we can mention some more emails all right
hey y'all it's farmer me mine today i'm going to show you what i've been doing to take care of the
pantry moth situation fucking hate that woman's voice a pantry mosh pantry mosh a pantry mosh
pantry please um do not disturb my maze.
Is not to be questioned.
Remember we talked a while back,
listeners were getting in touch about lies their parents had told them.
Yeah.
And this is quite a good one.
And I'm starting to develop a sort of newfound appreciation
for the deceitfulness of parenting, of parents.
Yeah. I understand if you're two or three years old a parent's yeah if you're a parent of a two or three year old
you're gonna start saying little things to stop them doing certain things like don't put your
hand in the fire i mean that's not but that's not a lie is it that's yeah but um something that's
really come to light is how often parents have been lying to their essentially teenage children check this out
from Ollie, he says hello guys
on the subject of mum lies
I thought I would give you this short and effective
short and effective lie
my mother gave me, growing up
wearing a biscuit tin and fresh from a Friday
shop on Saturday morning it was prime
time for raiding it
I bloody love fig rolls, I like them as well
actually, they're up there for me as did my mother and to prevent me from eating the whole lot on the time parading it. I bloody love fig rolls. I like them as well actually. Oh I've not had fig roll in ages.
They're up there for
me.
As did my mother
and to prevent me
from eating the
whole lot on a
Saturday morning
she told me that
if you ate more
than two in one
sitting it would
cause you to shit
yourself.
Probably not and
there's a lot of
prunage in there
isn't there?
Yeah.
At the time as a
child I took it as
gospel and thought
it made sense as
the brown middle of
a fig roll kind of
looks like shit.
I lived by this
rule well into my 20s
until one day
I thought I would
Google it and see
why figs or fig rolls
caused this to happen
and found out
it was a lie
they would probably
but they would
probably be some
kind of diarrhea
they're quite
eating a lot of fruit
does generally
keep you regular
don't they
especially figs
yeah absolutely
I don't think
you'll instantly
shit yourself
after eating two fig rolls
no
more if it's a really
scary one
yeah it could be
yeah
he said there was no risk
of working in a toy factory
for McDonald's
but a very effective
scaremongering tactic
nonetheless
needless to say
she had the last laugh
and was smashing them back
there was no tomorrow
when I wasn't looking
so there we go
where's all the fig rolls gone
sometimes mothers will lie
and all these batteries
are Panasonic power lines
which I don't know
if I'd know actually
yeah baby
do you know them which one sorry I was Panasonic power line where are Panasonic power lines, which I don't know if I'd know actually. Yeah, baby. Do you know him?
Which one? Sorry, I was... Panasonic
power line. Where's Panasonic in it?
I mean... Common or Garden, is it?
Common or Garden. Mike.
He's probably
a friend of the show because he does get in contact every now and again.
He's got quite a handsome
Twitter picture.
Oh, I know. Is it Mike Gibson? It is Mike Gibson,
yeah. Yeah, I know him, yeah. Hi, guys.
Following up from your conversation on the Faroe Islands,
I thought it would interest Pete to know there's a Michelin-starred
restaurant there named Cox.
How's it spelled?
K-O-K-S.
That's disappointing.
To be honest, if you're getting sent to the Faroe Islands
to review a restaurant, you've gone all that way.
No one's going to go back and check,
so you may as well give up Michelin star.
Just give them a stamp. star just give them a stamp
yeah give them a chance
give them a chance
it's funny because
I don't know if it's got
a Michelin star
but it was recently voted
I think the best restaurant
in Britain
the Three Chimneys
which is in a place
called Dunvegan
on the Isle of Skye
now as you know
I proposed to my now wife
on the Isle of Skye
and to celebrate
we went to the Three Chimneys
and it's an amazing restaurant
absolutely beautiful the food's and it's an amazing restaurant. Absolutely beautiful.
The food's incredible.
It's an amazing experience.
But I don't know if I'm able to accurately convey to you
exactly how remote it is.
So you drive, so we were staying in Portree,
which is the main town of Scarborough,
which is very small.
And that's probably about
a really, really long
drive from a decent-sized town
on the mainland.
You go over the bridge at the Colour Lockhouse.
And the Colour Lockhouse is sort of like a small town, I suppose.
But anyway, it's remote. I mean, Portree and the Isle of Skye, you've got to really
want to get there. And it's all single, far roads.
There's no motorways or anything, so everything just takes
longer to drive to than you think.
Portree's about 35 minutes into the other sky,
and then another 45 minutes is Dunvegan,
where the three chimneys is on the other side of the island.
And it is ridiculous how remote it is.
We were driving there, and I was thinking to myself,
I don't know if this is the right way,
because we were stopping every 20 minutes for sheep on the gravel path.
And I had to move them off
so we could carry on driving.
You get there.
As far as the eye can see,
one direction is just sea.
It's right on the coast.
The other direction is where you've just come from.
Nothing.
Each other direction,
so all four directions, nothing.
Little hills and bracken and heather and sheep.
That's it.
You can go north, south, east and west.
It's a bit like that, Pete.
There is a tree.
Yeah, the Three Chimneys is a restaurant
with probably about 25 tables in it.
Absolutely rammed.
Yeah.
Full of people.
The car park is full.
The little house,
they've got a little inn
called the Inn Over the Road or something,
which has got three cottages where people stay.
That was all rammed.
And it made me think,
that is a ballsy move.
There's a lot of drink driving
no comment
but it is Pete
is it not
city rule mate
a ballsy move
to set up
an expensive
high overheads
really pricey
ingredients restaurant
in somewhere like that
I would say
yes
that's the correct answer
how do they get the ingredients
I guess they do a lot of local stuff.
They get a lot of local meat, I guess.
And then the...
You can grow vegetables there, I suppose.
What if you want some ouzo?
You can get a decent amount of scotch.
Yeah, okay.
A decent amount of a single malt.
But I've not been to the Faroe Islands.
I don't know where Cox is.
It might be in a town for all I know.
But I'd like to go there.
What would be the reason for you going there, though?
Well, I think I made the point last week that nobody talks about
going to the Faroe Islands
and then you said,
well, why would you go to the Faroe Islands?
And I go, I don't know.
Well, now we've got a reason.
But I want to.
There's a book by Alex Bezos.
Oh, yeah.
Fucking Alex Bezos.
I was talking about him.
All right.
Do you want me to carry on?
You've got no content
for the next 10 minutes.
I don't know who he is.
Okay, right.
He wrote a book called
Football, The Brazilian Way of Life. Ah. And it's not a brilliant book or anything do you want me to carry on you've got no content for the next 10 minutes I don't know he wrote a book called Football the Brazilian
Way of Life
and it's not
a brilliant book
or anything
but it's alright
stop having to go at him
you're the one
always going on about him
but the first chapter
talks about Brazilian
footballers who are
everywhere
it's almost like
Brazil is seen as
the home of football
but what you don't
realise is
they've exported
not just to Europe
but everywhere
and it starts off
in the Faroe Islands
there's Brazilian
footballers everywhere
oh really in the Faroe Islands
yeah there's loads in Japan
obviously yeah
there we go then
none of us have been to Cox
if you've eaten
at the restaurant Cox
on the Faroe Islands
do get in touch
hello at lukeandpete show
dot com
apparently
it's all local produce
as you'd expect
what else have you got there Peter
I've got an email
from Mark
actually we had one that
somebody also
forwarded on to me
and you.
It was from Adam.
Basically,
it was just a story
about a rugby match
where an injury
occurred.
Basically,
somebody got damaged
in the groin.
Oh dear.
And it ended up
he later put in
the team chat,
I presume like a
WhatsApp group, the guy who hurt his balls,
that it swelled up, that he was off his tits on morphine,
cheerily put that he would have to return to hospital the next day
to see if he could keep his testicles.
Oh, Jesus.
The day came, and unfortunately, his two meat had to be parted from his veg.
Now, I'm only including this.
Two meat?
Because I think Adam, who has emailed in,
seems to think that you've got two meat
and the veg is the penis.
Yeah.
Instead of the meat and two veg.
The two veg are the two potatoes
and the sausage is the meat.
I hope that's a typo
rather than his understanding of the situation.
I used to have a boss
who thought women
shat out their
vaginas.
Oh, for God's sake,
Peter.
What?
You know what?
What?
You know what?
He was a grown man
who thought women
pooped out of their
foofs.
So why can't you
say it like that?
Why do you have to be...
Because foofs is very
childish.
Why do you have to be
so coarse?
You're not one of
Pulitzer for filth.
I said vagina.
I said,
I got it half right.
Yeah, okay.
All right.
Let's go for more next time.
All right.
What's the medical word
for excreted out of the vagina?
Because you can excrete,
you can excrete
something that isn't shit.
Yeah.
So, out of your vagina.
I shouldn't have said anything.
Yeah, exactly.
Carry on.
That'll teach you.
Do you want me to do an email
from Drew? All right, then. It's another one about said anything. Yeah, exactly. Carry on. That'll teach you. Do you want me to do an email from Drew?
All right, then.
It's another one about parents lying.
Oh, they're such liars.
I hate them.
I know.
Did your parents ever lie to you in a big way?
Let's not get into that.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
At the census, I found out that I had a half-brother from the census.
They haven't even told you.
Yeah, it's not really a lie if you don't tell someone.
Yeah. Whatever doesn't
harm you, doesn't tell you. I don't know how that goes.
Do you want to talk about it or not really?
The census
was a big deal in my life, personally.
The census is like, oh my god, the
government want to know about our family. We're famous.
It's how exciting. What year is this? This only comes
around. I was about 15.
And the census was on the dresser.
And it said that my dad had been married twice.
And he had three children.
And I was like, ah, man, dad's a fucking prick.
He's filled out the census incorrectly.
And this is an important document.
So you've got to get it right.
Yeah.
And my mom went, sit down.
Talk to your dad.
She's not even jumped on the grenade. She said, no mum went, sit down. Talk to your dad. She's not even jumped on the grenade.
She said,
no, talk to your dad.
Talk to your dad.
I'd done action and a half
and I found out in the end.
Oh dear.
How did it make you feel?
Not harsh, to be honest.
I think people would go out
looking for family members
and, you know,
there was certain,
there was,
back then,
dads didn't really have
a lot of rights
when it came to children
it's different now
so yeah
there we go
on that bombshell
no one's gonna
the spectre of
Stewie Donaldson
is at the feast
once again
when it comes to
the Luke and Pete show
how is Stuart doing it
doing it
how is he doing I meant
in a condom
I'm putting my mouth on
from Friday in sleep
that one
how's he getting on
I mean
how's he doing
he's alright
he seemed alright
that's how I talked to him
he was down wasn't he in London we talked how I talked to him he was down wasn't he
in London
we talked about that
he was yeah
he was down
what about Drew then
Drew's parents are
not guilty of telling a lie
quite that seismic
Peter
but we'll read the email out
nonetheless
do you remember Drew Hill
yeah but it's spelled differently
yeah but do you remember
when Drew Hill came back
and everybody went on stage
and Drew Hill went
yeah we're Drew Hill
and Cisco went
yeah we're Cisco
yeah he's such a prick love that yeah love that do you remember and everybody went on stage and Drew Hill went, yeah, we're Drew Hill and Cisco went, yeah, we're Cisco.
He's such a prick.
Love that.
Yeah.
Love that.
Do you remember Cullumy Bad having a fight on stage?
Yeah, that was quite recent,
wasn't it?
He hit him on the head
with a chair,
was it?
Depressing, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was depressing.
One of them put on a lot of weight.
One of them left.
Drew says,
hi guys,
on the subject of telling
fibs to your kids,
my parents had a pretty good one to keep me on the straight and narrow.
This is actually really good.
Um,
I was told I had a very common heart murmur,
which makes my heart beat a little faster.
So if I was ever offered drugs to please be aware and not take them as it's
more dangerous for me than it would be for other children.
Right.
And I could have a heart attack and die.
Wow.
Um,
when I was about 19,
I was at the doctor's
having a check up
and I questioned this
he said there was never
that on any record
and my heart is fine
oh well
I never got into
dance music and clubbing
phase as much as my
friends as a result
but it seems now
like a clever lie
to tell a young teenager
that's annoying isn't it
he says P.S.
my brother when he was
about 7 years old
once asked my dad
for a drink of his lager
and my dad went and
got a fresh one in quotes
filled it with vinegar and yeah now 28 my brother a drink of his lager and my dad went and got a fresh one, in quotes,
filled it with vinegar and yeah,
now 28,
my brother still doesn't drink lager
and is more of a cider man.
These parents are brilliant.
That's very good, that.
They must have had
some sort of parenting manual.
Yeah, but he drank vinegar
and went,
I like it.
I like things a little bit tart.
Very nutty bouquet.
I remember drinking lager
for the first time.
What was this craft?
Sarsons?
Yes, local brewery. Great local brewery, yeah. I remember drinking lager for the first time what is this craft sarsens yes local brewery
great local brewery
yeah
I remember drinking lager
for the first time
at some
I grew up in a place
called Gosport
it's a reasonable
sized town
you know
it's not great
but
as a lot of these
places can be
the hub of the local
community
was the community centre
right
did you ever have a community centre, right? Right.
Did you ever have a community centre where you grew up?
Like a working men's club type thing.
Yeah.
We call it the community centre.
Yeah, we're a county club
and a Navy club
for people from the Navy.
And we always used to go
to a New Year's Eve party
at this place
and it was called Hedka.
I think it was called,
let me get this right,
something in Elson District
Community Association.
Right.
Anyway,
and a friend of my dad's, there's loads of people there right there's people dancing people sat on different tables
there's a big old place and one of my dad's mates this guy called terry was like oh um do you want
a do you want a beer and i was like yeah definite and he was all right i'll get you on and he got
me like a pint of beer right a pint of like i don't know heineken or something yeah and put it in front of me and was like don't tell one. And he got me like a pint of beer. Right. Like a pint of like, I don't know, Heineken or something. Yeah.
And put it in front of me.
And was like, don't tell your parents.
I've got a fucking big pint of beer in front of me.
I was only about five foot four or something.
I was 13.
And I had a sip of it.
I thought, I don't like that.
I really do not like that. That's an odd flavor.
Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
I forced about half of it down.
I felt really quite drunk.
And then just tried to sort of mingle
away from my parents
for the next couple
of hours
that was my first
experience
and then the following
New Year's Eve
we went to a friend
I went to my mate's
aunt's house
for New Year
and they had like
a lot of money
I think his dad
but in a working
class way
I think his old man
was a builder
or something
a building firm
and we kept
sneaking out
into the garden
drinking those
little stubbies
oh
little stubby
you don't see him anymore, do you?
No, you don't.
And for some reason, I liked it more.
I think probably because I was trying to show off
to my friends more than anything else.
That was my prime kind of first bit of drinking.
I think my first proper drink, pretty cool really,
Manson, watching the band Manson and Gear Dad.
How old were you then?
Probably about four, because I abstained
because I was going
to nightclubs
when I was about 15
to be honest
because I think
the bonds just felt
sorry for me
and it was article
they didn't give a shit
but they
I sort of abstained
and went I'm not
I like to be in control
of myself
I'm not drinking
like you guys
oh so when you were like 15
you were a bit straight edge
so I was a bit straight edge
until I was about 17, I think.
And then I started,
so it was probably when I was 17
that I started,
I went to see Manson and Gay Dad
and drank a Newcastle Brown.
I was like,
this makes everything better.
You've not looked back since.
Yeah.
Next thing you know,
you're looking for chicken marks
down Tottenham Court Road.
Do you remember being drunk
and sick or something?
I remember having a whitey,
going on a whitey
when I went to the
Wesleyan nightclub
and the song
music sounds better
with you.
Music sounds better
with you,
baby.
I remember just
feeling like the worst.
That's Stardust.
It's a good song.
Stardust.
Yeah,
not nice.
Music sounds better
with you.
Don't sing it.
It genuinely makes me
feel better.
Does it?
I can remember
having my 20th
birthday.
It was quite late
on.
My 20th birthday
in Magaluf
of all places.
Magaluf!
And I deferred
for a year so I
went to uni
in the following
month.
So I think we went
there in like
September and I went
to uni at the end
of September or
whatever.
Was it a results
related to viral?
Possibly, yeah.
It would have been, yeah. It would have been,
yeah, it would have been.
Because I went through
and this is boring
but I'll go through
it really quickly.
I didn't try a tour
at school
and did okay
and the arrogance
of youth and all that
I thought,
oh, this is easy
because I've always,
I've found school work
quite easy at the time
and I did like
unremarkably
but certainly
well and truly easy enough
to get to A-levels
and I got to college
to do A-levels
and had exactly the same attitude
and then just got completely pied.
Left behind.
Yeah, I got two Ds and a U at A-level.
Right.
And no uni would take me.
And this is back probably,
but it's a bit harder than it is now, maybe.
And so I had to defer for a year.
But anyway, I went to Magaluf
for my 20th birthday.
University.
Yeah.
Yeah. Stud. Yeah.
I studied media.
And there were a few of my mates.
And they had this thing where every time we went to a new bar on this night,
they told everyone working there that it was my birthday.
So they just plied me with alcohol, like dirty pints.
I could have died.
Looking back at it now, I know it sounds boring,
but I probably could have died.
It was so much alcohol.
And I ended up...
Business owners must know that it's never anyone's birthday
or anniversary or anything like that.
It was the year 2000.
No one cared.
And yeah, you're probably right, though.
Anyway, I ended up locked in a cubicle
and being sick and so drunk that I couldn't open it.
And luckily, it was one of those ones where there was a gap.
And my friend was able to climb over
and get me out and take me home.
Like a vomitous crystal maze.
It was bad.
And I'd like to say that I learnt my lesson
from my 21st, but I didn't.
My dad had to carry me home that one.
And then sat on me all night
because he was paranoid
I was going to choke on my own vomit.
Drinking in excess in that way
is bad for you folks.
Rubbish.
Don't do it. Rubbish. excess in that way is bad for you folks. Rubbish. Don't do it.
Rubbish. On that note
Pete, do you want to move out of here?
What? Do you want to go to the pub?
We don't live here. Do you want to move on to somewhere
else with a bit more of a nice vibe?
Let's go and slam some brewskis. Let's write in our calendar
