Well, hopefully me adjusting the volume on the fly there,
the compressor will sort it out.
Hello, I'm Pete Donaldson.
I'm joined by Luke Moore.
Leave your fly out of this.
Yeah.
We're back in the saddle.
We're back in the saddle.
Sorry, Willie, on this one.
We miscalculated the episodes.
Yeah, sort of. We thought we had enough episodes, but we don't.
We hadn't. And I was in Japan.
And for future reference,
we'll come on to Japan in just a second, but just do
this admin properly if we're going to do it, as we've failed
to do it before.
If you want to know, I did put on Twitter
that we were running a bit late today,
and so people who follow us
on Twitter will be aware of that. If you're not following
us on social media, at Luke and Pete
Show, for all that kind of
behind the scenes
battery chat
admin stuff
scenes and beans
yeah scenes and beans
that's a good way
of putting it
and if you like the show
and you listen to it
every time
but you think
do you know what
I could do with a bit more of
a bit more of the admin
of how they do it
behind the scenes
exactly
at Luke and Pete show
on Twitter and Instagram
is the place for you
Pete
we can guarantee the scenes.
We can't guarantee the beans.
Beans sometimes come up every now and again.
I had kidney beans yesterday.
Oh,
kidney beans are the worst kind of beans because they actually look like a
kidney.
Just a tin of the beans.
Did you drink the sauce?
Tasty snack.
The salty sauce.
Yeah.
Right on the TV.
The salty broth.
Yeah.
What a treat.
Mimi said,
what do you want for dinner?
I said, crack me open a tin of kidney beans, will you?
Give us a drop.
Drop us a big tin of KBs.
Yeah, yeah.
You can imagine the pumps, can't you?
I've always thought you'd make a good cowboy,
sat around a fire, eating some beans.
Blazing Saddles vibes.
Blazing Saddles vibes.
Yeah, yeah.
Having a trump.
Oh, on Classic American Comedies, I...
I'm now the head of a studio.
I'm pleased to hear, I'm pleased to confirm
I will in fact be in the remake of The Naked Gun.
Oh, good.
Oh, that's coming back, isn't it?
Is it?
Yeah, I think that's why, that's in your brain.
Well, Leslie Nielsen...
Is quite famously dead.
Yeah, I know, exactly.
But I was made aware of
or reminded of
a classic Leslie Nilsson line.
I think it's from Police Squad,
which is the one...
Is that the one that spawned
from The Naked Gun?
Say again?
It started off as Police Squad
and it became The Naked Gun
and The Naked Gun
came off the back of it.
I think Naked Gun,
the film,
came after Police Squad. I think Police Squad was, yeah, it definitely... Yeah, that's right. Two classic lines from Police Squad and it became The Naked Gun or The Naked Gun came off the back of it I think Naked Gun the film came after Police Squad
I think Police Squad
was yeah
yeah that's right
two classic lines
from Police Squad
one is when he turns up
at that woman's house
and says
ma'am
I would have come earlier
but your husband
wasn't dead then
and the second one
is when he comes in
to the bad guy's office
and the guy turns around
and says
who are you
and how did you get in here
and he goes
I'm a locksmith and
i'm a locksmith lovely classic stuff there's um you know like the start bit where the car
is kind of like going down the street and then they'll just have it kind of going through like
women's changing rooms and stuff yeah yeah department stores there's there was a video
recently of just a man going wild and just driving through.
I don't think anyone was hurt.
It was fine.
Was that OJ Simpson?
Who famously in Naked Gun.
In Naked Gun.
He was sort of driving through shopping centres, through shops.
And he managed to get so far across town.
I don't know what this story was from.
What town was it?
I don't know.
I just saw it online when I was in a kind of like a half-sleep,
half-awake kind of situation.
Was it in America?
This guy, yeah.
Florida.
Guaranteed Florida.
Guaranteed Florida.
I've just noticed that because they've moved the table,
I can move my coffee on the side, so that's safer for me
and safer for you, the listener.
Now, people listening in to this show won't have noticed anything awry
other than the fact that this episode is a bit later
because we pre-req a lot of
episodes because Pete was going away to Japan.
You are going to tell us all about your
trip to Japan in a moment
but I just want to say previously on the Luke and Pete
show, just to bring people up to speed,
we've had a lake on top of a mountain in India
with skeletons in it. Weetabix using
skinheads to, skinheads?
Skinheads? To advertise their breakfast cereal
eating raw chicken by mistake,
or by, not by mistake, but by ordering it.
By design.
Yeah, yeah.
Unlucky numbers and the finest double agent
of the Second World War.
Just to remind you, hello at lukeandpeachshow.com
if you want to get in touch about any of that stuff.
Pete Donaldson, you're just fresh off the plane,
fresh off the boat from Japan in this morning,
straight into the um into the studio
the floor is yours my friend i don't feel fresh no i bet um i did see a man on the plane who was
unusually tall um japanese people not known for being um statuesque how tall are we talking well
i think their average is pretty much our average we thought i always thought of the japanese as
being shorter than us they're not they're exactly the same size. But I think you get fewer really, really tall people in Japan.
But this man was genuinely like, you know,
like the man that was outside the Ridley's, believe it or not,
on Piccadilly.
Robert Pershing Wadlow.
Robert Pershing Wadlow.
8 foot 11 and 3 quarters.
The tallest man to ever live.
Yeah.
This guy was like that.
And he had a slightly feminine face, just like him.
He wasn't that tall, but he was cracking on for seven foot.
He was gigantic.
I can see why he went for the premium economy seat.
That's all I'm saying.
Did he?
And he squeezed into premium.
What are you doing in premium?
I went out on premium.
And let me tell you, JAL, a real shot in the arm for the premium economy lover.
I love premium economy.
I have a threshold which
i'm not going to tell people listening what it is but i have a financial threshold that i will pay
up to to go premium she uh offered me a premium economy seat for 280 pounds i wasn't in premium
economy on the way back uh but she said uh it's going to be 280 pounds or i don't know 350 000 for 350,000 yen. And I said,
is it an aisle seat?
She said, yes.
I said, no.
You don't want an aisle?
I don't want an aisle.
I'm all about the aisle.
I never get up.
I needed a wee
from about five hours in
and I just sat there
because I am a
conscionable,
conscionable?
Conscious?
I'm just a nice guy.
Don't want to bother people.
Yeah.
I'd rather wet myself.
I mean, that is psychotic behaviour.
And stink,
stink them playing out with piss.
That's like,
pretty,
sort of sociopathic behaviour.
yeah, yeah.
But,
just to come back on that,
a couple of things.
There's a new assistant producer
started on my show on Talkspot
on Friday nights,
called Murray,
and he's six foot six.
But I would,
that's,
that's getting too unusually tall,
isn't it?
But the thing is, i always massively overshoot
it because i'm six three right so i don't i don't regularly see people taller than me right and when
i do i get really excited yeah so first of all i was like goodness me how tall are you you must be
about six foot ten yeah and he was like uh six foot six and that was a bit disappointing but for
him he probably doesn't see you as being abnormally large no and you are abnormally large
no i think he looks down on everyone literally yeah exactly the difference between you and me
to him probably nothing probably probably same size yeah probably yeah and and that's what makes
me happy speaking on the uh on the plane flight thing before we actually get into japan as promised
um i've only ever so i i got to the point because obviously my now wife was living in the
u.s and i used to go and travel to visit her quite a lot and you build up the miles don't you and
you build up the stuff that ba want to give you for being a regular flyer and i managed to get
this bronze executive club thing which doesn't really mean anything and it's expired now anyway
but and what it did mean is occasionally if there was an opportunity to get an upgrade i think you'd
be near the front of the queue and you'd get but you'd have to pay right anyway so i never got any sort of free upgrade at all and i used to
occasionally pay a bit extra for premium and i think you get to choose your seat in economy before
anyone else because you're a bronze executive club member and that's pretty much it i mean the
silver and gold is amazing you get amazing you get all the lounges and that kind of stuff anyway
so when it came to the time where my now wife
moved to the UK,
I flew over there
to help her move
all the stuff and
she had a little
farewell party and
all the rest of it.
Got to Boston
Airport to fly back.
She was obviously
very emotional,
leaving her family.
We had loads of
stuff.
We had nine bags
and BA, and I'd
already budgeted for
it, but BA I think
charged you something
like £40 for every
bag over four bags or something.
And get to the front of the queue
to check in with all our staff.
The guy goes,
oh, good news, Mr. Moore.
Yeah, we've got a free upgrade
for you to business.
First time ever.
I look at Mimi.
I think, oh, is it for both of us?
No, just for you.
Couldn't take it, could I?
Well, you couldn't...
I couldn't leave on her own.
I just couldn't do it.
Yeah, we could have given it to her, couldn't you?
But the point was,
she didn't want to be on her own on the flight
because she was upset.
So I couldn't activate it.
Just...
I couldn't activate it.
Yeah.
You could have laid down on the bed
and covered yourself in like a shawl
and pretended that you were the chair.
Yeah.
She could have slept on top of you.
Are you still single?
In a loving embrace.
We ended up compromising with the...
It actually worked out okay in the end.
Apart from for me
because I really wanted to go business.
I've never found business.
It worked out okay in the end
because we managed to negotiate
with the checking guy
that we could have all the bags on for free
and we could both go premium instead.
So it turned out okay.
That's all right.
But the moral of the story is, Pete,
I sacrificed my business class seat on the altar of love.
I met a pilot who flies to FedEx in Osaka in a bar,
and he was a dick.
He flies a lot of freight over FedEx.
Was it Pilot Neil?
It wasn't Pilot Neil, no, but he was like going,
Oh, man. I was sort of saying,
so what's the setup?
Like, because obviously, you know,
there's no chairs in there.
Everything's just pulled out
and everything's just kind of bits and bobs
and they say, oh yeah,
we got a cage for like the lithium batteries
and got a cage for the stuff
and you got this room where you can,
where you can do some pushups
or some pull-ups.
I was like, why does a pilot need
to leave the cockpit?
There's no cockpit door.
You just go out and to do some bloody, you know, working out.
Why are you talking like that?
What do you mean?
Why is he talking like that?
I don't know.
He's like a bro.
He's an ex-serviceman, and he's a bit of a bro.
How did you start talking to him?
So his job is to fly all over the world with freight.
That's quite a cool job, isn't it?
Yeah, but he says that I fly those planes faster
than they're designed to fly.
Oh, God, one of those.
One of those guys.
One of those guys who said when they were 18
they got a car and it might look like a cheap car,
but I've actually put a Ferrari engine in it.
And you can't look under the bonnet because it's broken.
And my girlfriend goes to another school.
The little stick because it's broken,
so you can't lift it up without it hitting you on the head.
So yeah, he was a bit of a div.
But fascinating stories
about Frit
so people
who know how regularly
you visit Japan
myself included
I've never visited myself
I imagine the majority
of people listening
perhaps
or at least a good percentage
of them won't have visited
you go there an awful lot
what are you doing there
differently
each time
and what did you do
differently this time
as opposed to previous visits?
This time I sort of followed around Chris Broad from Broad in Japan for a little while.
Oh, that's right.
One of our sister podcasts.
One of our sister podcasts.
And saw what he was up to.
Doing a bit of cycling around Japan.
Being a YouTuber is a bit of a pain in the ass, I tell you what.
All they're doing is filming and filming and filming.
And then at the night they get to bed really late because they're just editing.
And then they get up again to release.
And then they get about two hours sleep.
It's crazy.
It's not the kind of life.
It's not the kind of proper job, though, is it?
Well, it is.
I think people have a very...
Whenever YouTubers are discussed about...
Certainly the popular ones, they sort of get a bit of,
they talk about the money, don't they?
It's like, oh my God,
I can't believe this video game streamer
makes two million quid a month
for all his streaming
and I can't believe that PewDiePie
makes so much money from his YouTube
and stuff like that.
And it's only ever discussed like that
but it's actually a whole fucking lot of work
if you don't have a team behind you.
So yeah, I was very surprised
about the amount of work
and the amount of driving
and cycling
and all kinds of shit.
It's funny
because I'm quite friendly
with Jack Dean
who's Jack Mate on YouTube.
Lovely chap.
And he's been doing it
for a long time.
Yeah, he's got about
a million subscribers, I think.
But I don't think he does
an awful lot of actual videos.
I think it's about YouTube culture.
Slightly different.
I think it does depend
on the type of YouTube channel you've got.
Because I think some YouTubers have to do YouTube content all the time,
don't they, to make it work.
But you're just constantly like in...
There's two kinds, I guess, isn't there?
There's people who do kind of like stuff about things
or there are people who can be resident in a set or their bedroom,
you know what I mean, and keep doing it that way.
And that's a little bit easier because you can edit like that, but
oh, I was just
exhausted. Yes or no,
YouTube channel,
is it a proper job?
Yes, it is. Podcasting, is it
a proper job? At this point in my life,
it fucking is, yeah.
Oh my god,
so I got run over by an old lady.
Oh, for God's sake. I've got a list of things. I've to... Oh, my God. So, I got run over by an old lady. Oh, for God's sake.
I've got a list of things.
I've written,
why do they hide beans in pillows?
In Japanese hotels,
a lot of business hotels have these weird kind of pillows
where they have these very...
Could be dried kidney beans.
Yeah.
Could be dried...
I'm not interested in the dried ones.
You've got to soak them overnight
before you can eat them.
Like, they hide...
They have really flat pillows,
but they have, like,
really hard little beans
in the bottom.
Also, I was in an Airbnb where I had to hide a lot of the time
because they don't like foreigners being in the building
because Airbnb is a bit of a no-no.
Why is it a no-no? Why is that?
Japanese government registered a plan in which you can only rent out your Airbnb for half the year.
So it meant that a lot of buildings became Airbnb no-nos.
Because I guess if you buy a flat,
you don't want loud foreigners partying every morning.
I was going to ask you if it's something to do with etiquette
in a building and stuff.
Yeah, and also just fear of the unknown
and institutional racism.
It's an island nation.
They're a bit weird.
Right, okay.
But, and also, for the Aussies, it's a bit of a party destination as well.
You know what I mean?
It's like Bali, Japan.
Like, it's quite easy to get there to just piss about and be loud and obnoxious.
So tell us about how you got one over.
I'm in I'm in
Kyoto
I'm off to a monkey museum
not really a museum
monkey park
could this be any more
Donaldson
yeah
and
I was so glad
she didn't fall off her bike
oh god
oh so she's on a bike
she was on a moped
so when I went to
Seoul once
I got run over by an old man
famous story
famous story
and then this time I got run over by an old lady who sideswiped me with her thing.
And she was, look, if she'd fallen, she was about 80.
Right.
And she would have really hurt herself.
So how did that actually happen?
Were you all crossing the road?
It was a 50-50 challenge.
I gave the referee a decision to make.
I think I didn't go in too hard.
She would probably,
I think CCTV would judge me
more harshly than I did.
How has the situation
even manifested itself?
I've stepped out in front of her.
Okay, right.
And she, yeah.
What side of the road
did they drive on Japan?
Same as us left.
Okay, so you've got no excuse then?
No, I've got no excuse.
Okay.
No, she went,
but managed to maintain you know, verticality. Okay, so you've got no excuse then? No, I've got no excuse. Okay. No, she went,
but managed to maintain, you know, verticality.
And she sort of turned around and went,
Are you okay?
And I was going,
Because she's about 100.
And that's the only Japanese you know.
So we're just two people going,
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Can I go to the monkey sanctuary now? Thank you.
Did you get hurt? Because in Seoul you got
quite hurt. I got quite hurt. I got a little
bit of a damage in the bell
bell, but yeah, it was fine.
What else
have I written down here? What was the monkey sanctuary like?
A bit depressing.
Was it one of those ones where they have
the monkeys, are they have the monkeys
are they Barbary monkeys
or Barbary apes
were in the hot pools
the macaques
I think
they're just Japanese macaques
aren't they
have you been to that
I haven't been to that
no
that's brilliant
I keep on
it is but I mean
it's a similar sort of thing
this used to be
I think it was like
a research station
that was very popular
with tourists
so they decided
fuck off the research
we've done enough
on the macaques and so and so they just toddle around.
They're horrible, aggressive animals, the macaques.
I thought you were a friend of all the primates.
I'm a friend of some of them, but the macaques in particular.
I remember I was in Malaysia once, and one stole a banana out of my back pocket.
Who knew that bananas were attractive to monkeys?
Someone should have told us that.
One of the greatest TV scenes of all time
is when Carl Pilkington goes to, I think it's India,
and he's got a packet of Monster Munch,
and he wants to feed the Monster Munch,
which shouldn't be happening.
And one of them just comes out,
I was looking, just swipes the bag,
and Pilkington just gets absolutely gutted.
That's the end of that then.
That's the end of that.
I think it's India.
But similar to that then, was it?
Yeah, pretty much.
Mission Impossible.
Walker has the detonator, I've written down.
Okay.
That was the film I was watching on the plane
when the plane pulled into Heathrow.
So I don't know what happens.
If someone could give me a tweet.
Would that be the most recent Mission Impossible?
Yeah, Walker.
Superman's got...
You know, there was that thing where they had
a CGI Superman's moustache
in Justice League because he was doing Mission Impossible.
He had a moustache in Mission Impossible.
So they spent millions of pounds trying to CGI Superman's moustache off.
So right throughout filming, Superman had a moustache of Justice League
and they spent a million pounds.
And if you watch Justice League, it's really obvious that they CGI'd out his moustache. Why didn't they just let him have a moustache of Justice League and they spent a million pounds and if you watch Justice League it's really obvious
that they CGI'd out his moustache
why didn't they just let him have a moustache
because Superman doesn't look like that
yeah
I mean
because people would know
why he had a moustache
I think it all was due to the fact
that there was some delay
because Tom Cruise broke his ankle
didn't he
doing that jump in London
yes
but it just makes me laugh
that not that good a moustache
no
has kind of ruined a film
really for me
speaking of
the old dress up
why were you
sending me pictures
why were you
sending me pictures
of you with loads
of fake tattoos on
because I was
because Luke
we have very
differing views
about Halloween
and dressing up
your Halloween costume
I've been getting
pelted for this
what I was getting pelted for this.
What?
I was getting pelted for this on TalkSport last week.
What do you mean?
Because I said that I don't like when people,
this is a slightly separate point.
No, I don't like it when people use fancy dress as an excuse to dress up all sexy, is what I said.
Right.
For me, it should be a case of taking the rise out yourself.
Yeah.
Was I dressed all sexy sexy i think you think you
were right with fake tattoos and a vest and posing all over instagram posing all i sent one picture
two pictures just remind the listeners how old you are i'm 37 yeah i was i was at a halloween
party it was a halloween weekend everyone was dressed up no further questions that's that's
what happened no further questions why did you dress up like Garth
why have you changed
your body language
why did you
I'll tell you why
I'm pleased you asked
actually
because I was sat down
about 7pm
after a day at work
in my pyjamas
after a shower
watching TV
and Mimi
came in and said
I've dressed like Wayne
from Wayne Campbell
from Wayne's World
and because we're
not going out anywhere
because we've not been
invited to a party this
year which is basically
my fault I suppose you
need to dress up as
Garth I'm going to take
some photos and put them
on Instagram and I said
I'm not doing it I'm not
doing it so I'm not
doing it she said you
are doing it I've laid
the food out I've laid
the clothes out for you
put a fucking wig on
I didn't have one
no further questions
I didn't take it serious
because I like to send
myself up because I've
got a British
I like to send myself up I like to got a British sense of humour. I like to send myself up!
I like to laugh at myself, Pete,
unlike you.
I just think,
just get into it.
Get in,
don't half-ass it.
Alright, final question.
Final question.
Did you or did you not
instantly change
one of your Tinder photos
to that photo?
I don't,
I'm not on Tinder.
I'm not on any dating app.
Sorry, ladies slash men.
Why would you lie about it?
Why would you lie about it?
Right, let's go to a break,
because it's been 20 bloomin' minutes almost,
and after that we'll do some emails.
Didn't get to the Curse of the Colonel.
Oh, right.
Bloody, bloody hell.
The problem appears to be that we haven't got our photo ID
to try and travel to Scotland,
which, as far as I can remember remember was in the British Isles.
What can we do? We're utterly
hamstrung by these
thick-headed people
wearing orange suits.
Welcome back to the Luke and Pete show.
Episode whatever it is.
113, yeah.
The Curse of the Colonel, maybe we'll come to
next time around because I think it's probably going to be quite a lot of stories.
Oh fuck, I've still got loads of stories
in Japan, mate.
Oh, do it next time.
All right, then.
People have emailed it.
We're 117 emails behind now.
We've got to catch up
otherwise people are going
to stop emailing us.
Do some bloody emails then, mate.
All right.
This one's from Simon in Norwich.
Hi, Simon.
I like this one.
He says,
Hello, gents.
Of course, if you want to get in touch,
hello at lukeandpete.com.
He says,
Hello, gents.
I just made a classic
schoolboy error today.
Having listened to your output for a few years, I've gathered a mental image of you both. Obviously, compete show.com he says hello gents made a classic schoolboy error today having listened
to your output for a few years i've gathered a mental image of you both obviously never felt
the need to look up your physical forms though that became apparent this evening after visiting
the big smoke that is london today and consuming a few beers i was sat in a pub near liverpool
street station and to the table adjacent to mine were two blokes i watched for a while and was
determined that they were you two.
A small skinny bloke covered in tattoos and wearing a solid pair of trousers
and his mate, a slightly bigger guy, wearing a beanie hat and a bushy ginger beard.
Determined it was you, I approached the couple,
only to be told they are not Luke and Pete, but in fact German,
and here for some sort of folk music concert.
That was fine until they decided to join me afterwards
to try and enlighten me on the UK's underground folk music scene.
That sounds great, to be honest.
I finished my beer, made my excuses,
and left for a train that was still one hour from due.
Love the output, and cheers, Simon.
Let's talk about the basic errors that Simon's made there.
One, you and I would never go drinking together.
No, never hang out together.
This does not happen.
You'd never invite me out.
You are a terrible friend
yeah fine
secondly
if we were going to go out
we wouldn't go out
on Liverpool Street
would we
it's not convenient
for either of us
it's a weird kind of place
Liverpool Street Station
did he say
yeah Simon's waiting
for the train isn't he
that's basically why
yeah but why are they there
yeah exactly
why are we there
no it wasn't us
how do they know
how does he know
that they're going to
a folk music festival
yeah I don't know
what we were doing I just remembered it wasn't us. How does he know that they're going to a folk music festival? Yeah, I don't know what we were doing.
I just remembered it.
It wasn't us.
That's folk music festivaling.
I was actually at Cecil Sharp House a couple of weeks ago,
which is the home.
Your weekends are so boring.
It was a weeknight.
I've got fucking tattoos on.
I'm running around fucking Shibuya with a fucking plastic baseball bat.
Yeah.
Right?
That's my life, right?
Yeah.
I'm going to be going to the grave going,
I'm glad I fucking did that
I'm glad I was pissed
I'm glad I was drinking
squeak gone soup
I got out of the fucking
vending machine
I'm glad
what are you running away from
and you're going from
what are you running from
this show
this show
I try to run away from it
every time
I like the message
our colleague sent
the other day
which I thought was
tremendously accurate
about you Donaldson
right
and it said,
let me find it.
It said,
I can't find it now,
but it was basically about you being a caged bird,
but we leave the cage open.
Here we go.
You're like a tamed parrot, Pete.
You like to think you're free,
but even with the cage door wide open,
you always come back to your perch.
There's a pretty boy.
Yeah.
That's you.
That's fine.
I'm at Cecil Sharp House watching the future of UK folk music, mate.
Yeah?
That's what floats my boat.
Blair Dunlop.
I don't even know.
Cecil Sharp House.
Where's that?
It's near Regent's Park.
It's a very nice venue, mate.
You'd enjoy it, actually.
It's an award-winning folk and music dance place.
I'll wait for it to become cool cool and then I'll see you there.
Do an email.
Or do you want me to do another one?
Do an email.
Can you do...
I favourited an email
that it's just a man
talking about Simon Weston.
I don't want to do that.
For goodness sake.
Goodness me.
Goodness me.
All right, what about this one
from Chris Walker?
He says,
morning all.
The Pink Floyd chat
at the start of episode 109
got me thinking
and the following
imaginary scenario
came into my head
imagine that Pete
has invited you Luke
to go and be in the studio
while he's doing
his radio show
but has got to go
to the toilet
midway through
that's probably
happened before hasn't it
I'd say so yeah
you lock the studio door
so he can't get back in
I haven't done that
and you have the chance
to play one Pink Floyd song
instead of what Pete
has planned
in a Shawshank Redemption style
banging on the window takeover.
Are you familiar with that scene?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so what Pink Floyd song would I choose?
I don't know.
Probably the longest one,
so Pete would get more annoyed.
Yeah.
I mean, we would be playing that anyway.
Let's make that very clear.
Not the Pink Floyd I'd play, mate.
That was from Chris Walker.
I don't know, set the controls for the heart of the song
because it's sinister.
That's what I'd do.
Yeah, wouldn't know how it would work on the buttons.
I genuinely wouldn't be able to do it, yeah.
John says, I recently listened to Pod 101.
Oh, somebody's really behind.
Behind, yeah.
You're the only listener more behind than we are.
Bit fucking rich.
And heard someone nominate people who hate cheese but still eat pizza for Room 101. really behind. Behind, yeah. You're the only listener more behind than we are. Bit fucking rich. We had a podcast today
and heard someone nominate
people who hate cheese
but still eat pizza
for Room 101.
I fit this description.
Right.
The problem I've got
with this, Pete,
is, what's the name
of this email now?
Johnny.
We need to stop.
We're sorry.
Johnny.
Why don't you come on home?
Johnny needs to understand
and stop behaving
like the cheese
on a pizza
isn't cheese
Johnny hates Moz
yeah
yeah
carry on
trying to think
of the cheese
that sound like jazz
it's free to email
okay
as someone who fits
this description
I thought I should email
in and defend myself
it comes down
to a texture thing
texture is the driving
force of my palate
that's wonderful it's great to know one's self greatxture is the driving force of my palate. That's wonderful.
It's great to ignore oneself.
Great album.
Great album.
That is a Pink Floyd album, I think,
late on.
Crumbly hard cheeses like cheddar
are utterly repulsive.
However, brie and good mozzarella
are amazing.
For this reason, I enjoy pizza
as the cheese is soft and gooey.
And not just pizza,
I enjoy melted cheese in any context.
The Pete Donaldson meal that I always, the meal that I, in quotes,
you know, in air quotes meal, yeah, that I always associate with you, Pete,
is the...
Student fondue.
Yeah, it's the cheese over the back of the mug in the microwave.
Yeah.
It's not over the back of the mug.
Oh, that's another one.
I saw a woman who, in a bar, a lot of bars in Japan,
you pay like an entrance fee and it's kind of like, it's kind of like 500 yen, about a drink's worth.
She took these really cheap sort of cheddar slices you'd get,
you know the ones that are in the plastic sheets?
Yeah, for a burger.
Yeah, cut them into triangles, put them in the microwave,
and they hardened.
I don't know what kind of cheese it was.
Hardened, bubbled, and they were delicious.
That's almost like a turbo version of your student meal. It was incredible. She just went, bubbled, and they were delicious. That's almost like
a turbo version
of your student meal.
It was incredible.
She just went,
I went,
how did you do this?
She went,
I put it in the microwave.
I went,
oh,
this is delightful.
Did you used to fill
a mug up with cheese?
Yeah,
fill the mug up with cheese,
yeah.
And then microwave it.
And then basically
the rennet would settle,
it would go to the bottom
and the grease would,
so it was actually
making it healthy
or anything
because that tip out
the yellow
sort of slightly
translucent grease.
It may well be
but I don't think
it improves your mental health.
No.
Because it is quite tragic.
My right leg would
go blue for a few days.
I ate
what I thought was
a lovely soft cheese
while I was away
after a bit of a
boozy night out
and it turns out
it was butter.
Oh, right. Bite in. boozy night out, and it turns out it was butter. Oh, right.
Biting.
That's not great, is it?
Why are they in squares?
Why are they in cubes?
I remember a children's board game in the sort of mid to late 80s.
Come on, let's eat some butter, kids.
Well, honestly, it would never exist now.
It was called dare.
Right.
And you'd play with your pals,
and you'd roll a dice and go around the board,
and sometimes you would land on a square that said dare.
You'd take a dare
from the pack,
the pack of cards.
And honestly,
Donnie,
some of the dares...
Honestly, doctor.
Yeah, some of the dares,
honestly,
I remember one of them being
eat a tablespoon full of butter.
That's all right.
Hang on, wait,
tablespoon's a big one.
That's not good.
Eat a teaspoon of salt.
That's not good either.
One of them was like drink,
it might have been a teaspoon
or a dessert spoon or whatever
of vinegar.
It was really fast.
Vinegar's alright.
Yeah, but like,
you know,
cinnamon challenge precursor.
True.
Mind you,
vinegar actually,
a teaspoon of vinegar will
help the medicine go down.
No, it instantly cure your hiccups.
Is that true?
Yep.
Because it gives your body
something else to think about
no I think it's just the acid
it kills it
I don't know why
it kills it
hiccups are like a spasm
isn't it
they look like a doctor
right let's do
I've got one final thing
to clear up
one piece of album
to clear up before we go
alright mama
this is from Fred
he says hello
after listening to episode 109
another 109 episode
related email.
He says, I think I have an idea of what the fruit Pete ate in Zimbabwe might be.
Oh, yes.
The fleshy, dirty fruit.
Yeah.
It sounds very similar to what I had in Sri Lanka, which was called a wood apple.
It's one of the oddest looking but loveliest fruits I've ever had.
I've got another suggestion here.
So is that right or wrong?
Two. Yes, it could be.
No, it's similar, but the wood apple looks too dry in the middle.
It looks like it's too much fibre.
What about this from Carl in Birmingham?
He says, on episode 109, Donnie mentioned the mythical fruit he sampled in Zimbabwe
and mentioned it had no name in the English language.
After some scouting, I found its local name.
It's Matamba.
Matamba?
The monkey orange.
Monkey orange?
It really is an odd-looking delicacy, but it's truly a treat.
Try looking in South African supermarkets if you want another one.
Oh, Mutamba, it seems.
Yeah, it's known colloquially as the monkey orange.
Not that? All right, well, listen, the mystery continues. It does look more like the wood apple. or Mutamba it seems yeah it's known colloquially as the monkey orange not that
alright well listen
the mystery continues
it does look more
like the wood apple
does look more
like the wood apple
but the flesh
it just seemed
maybe the
maybe there was
it just was a bad one
or a really good one
the memories live on
one day
one day
one day we'll get to the bottom
of that mystery
that's about as much
as we've got time for
so much as that can
fucking take mate yeah our late episode of Luke and Pete show episode 113 we'll get to the bottom of that mystery. Don't worry, that's about as much as we've got time for. So much as that can fucking take, mate.
Yeah, our late episode of Luke and Pete Show, episode 113.
We'll be back on Thursday with 114, of course.
Yes.
And Pete promises to give you the story of the Colonel.
The Colonel of Truth and Osaka Legend.
Is this a military colonel or?
No.
Okay, right, great.
We'll look forward to that then.
Yeah, stay tuned.
