Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:33 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.
Starting point is 00:00:41 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?
Starting point is 00:00:55 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
Starting point is 00:01:08 I thought that was taken I thought that was taken I thought that was red I don't I think that's
Starting point is 00:01:14 illegal anyway isn't it imagine going to a party or something what do you do I take upskirts yeah I mean what
Starting point is 00:01:23 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
Starting point is 00:01:51 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.
Starting point is 00:02:12 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.
Starting point is 00:02:32 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?
Starting point is 00:02:43 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
Starting point is 00:02:48 Chris Moyles. Yeah, just weird. Not weird, but yeah, just like, oh, that doesn't happen very often. No.
Starting point is 00:02:56 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,
Starting point is 00:03:04 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.
Starting point is 00:03:18 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,
Starting point is 00:03:31 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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?
Starting point is 00:04:00 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?
Starting point is 00:04:16 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:04:52 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.
Starting point is 00:05:00 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:14 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...
Starting point is 00:05:22 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
Starting point is 00:05:28 8 metres that's not what you just described there 8 metres alright 10 feet ok
Starting point is 00:05:39 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,
Starting point is 00:05:46 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.
Starting point is 00:06:03 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.
Starting point is 00:06:18 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.
Starting point is 00:06:29 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:06:59 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.
Starting point is 00:07:11 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.
Starting point is 00:07:25 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.
Starting point is 00:07:40 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.
Starting point is 00:07:56 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.
Starting point is 00:08:19 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.
Starting point is 00:08:38 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?
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:06 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
Starting point is 00:09:25 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
Starting point is 00:09:33 is sort of north on Tottenham Court Road so I'm like over there Tesco Tesco chicken mask I mean I don't know
Starting point is 00:09:39 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...
Starting point is 00:09:52 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:12 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.
Starting point is 00:10:23 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
Starting point is 00:10:37 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.
Starting point is 00:11:07 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
Starting point is 00:11:30 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
Starting point is 00:11:55 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
Starting point is 00:12:07 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
Starting point is 00:12:13 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
Starting point is 00:12:18 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
Starting point is 00:12:26 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
Starting point is 00:12:32 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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
Starting point is 00:12:44 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
Starting point is 00:12:51 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
Starting point is 00:12:58 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
Starting point is 00:13:07 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,
Starting point is 00:13:24 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
Starting point is 00:13:39 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
Starting point is 00:13:49 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
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:07 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
Starting point is 00:14:27 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.
Starting point is 00:14:44 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
Starting point is 00:15:08 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,
Starting point is 00:15:18 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.
Starting point is 00:15:30 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.
Starting point is 00:15:40 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
Starting point is 00:15:51 a ballsy move to set up an expensive high overheads really pricey ingredients restaurant in somewhere like that I would say
Starting point is 00:15:59 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?
Starting point is 00:16:11 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?
Starting point is 00:16:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:35 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.
Starting point is 00:16:44 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
Starting point is 00:16:50 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
Starting point is 00:16:56 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
Starting point is 00:17:02 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
Starting point is 00:17:09 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
Starting point is 00:17:17 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.
Starting point is 00:17:29 It was from Adam. Basically, it was just a story about a rugby match where an injury occurred. Basically, somebody got damaged
Starting point is 00:17:37 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,
Starting point is 00:17:50 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
Starting point is 00:18:10 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
Starting point is 00:18:26 who thought women shat out their vaginas. Oh, for God's sake, Peter. What? You know what? What?
Starting point is 00:18:32 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...
Starting point is 00:18:39 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,
Starting point is 00:18:46 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,
Starting point is 00:18:56 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.
Starting point is 00:19:03 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?
Starting point is 00:19:15 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?
Starting point is 00:19:33 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.
Starting point is 00:19:51 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.
Starting point is 00:20:05 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?
Starting point is 00:20:13 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
Starting point is 00:20:22 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
Starting point is 00:20:31 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
Starting point is 00:20:37 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
Starting point is 00:20:42 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
Starting point is 00:20:48 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
Starting point is 00:20:57 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.
Starting point is 00:21:07 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
Starting point is 00:21:13 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,
Starting point is 00:21:22 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
Starting point is 00:21:38 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
Starting point is 00:21:45 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
Starting point is 00:21:53 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
Starting point is 00:22:00 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
Starting point is 00:22:08 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.
Starting point is 00:22:17 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
Starting point is 00:22:27 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
Starting point is 00:22:35 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
Starting point is 00:22:44 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
Starting point is 00:22:53 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
Starting point is 00:23:02 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.
Starting point is 00:23:28 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?
Starting point is 00:23:40 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
Starting point is 00:23:48 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
Starting point is 00:23:55 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
Starting point is 00:24:01 sneaking out into the garden drinking those little stubbies oh little stubby you don't see him anymore, do you? No, you don't.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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
Starting point is 00:24:26 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
Starting point is 00:24:32 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
Starting point is 00:24:40 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
Starting point is 00:24:49 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.
Starting point is 00:24:59 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
Starting point is 00:25:08 with you. Music sounds better with you, baby. I remember just feeling like the worst. That's Stardust. It's a good song.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Stardust. Yeah, not nice. Music sounds better with you. Don't sing it. It genuinely makes me feel better.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Does it? I can remember having my 20th birthday. It was quite late on. My 20th birthday in Magaluf
Starting point is 00:25:30 of all places. Magaluf! And I deferred for a year so I went to uni in the following month. So I think we went
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:25:44 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
Starting point is 00:25:51 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
Starting point is 00:25:58 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
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.
Starting point is 00:26:19 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,
Starting point is 00:26:33 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
Starting point is 00:26:47 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
Starting point is 00:27:06 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
Starting point is 00:27:19 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?
