And we are now, Pete Dawson, we are rolling.
Lift off. Ignition.
It's the Luke and Pete show, number 122.
Back in the seats.
Back in the saddle after a couple of weeks off for Luke Moore and me, Pete Donaldson.
I mean, obviously, we've kept up the routine of doing the shows and releasing the shows,
but we haven't actually recorded one for about two and a half weeks.
Who's up for another unplanned half hour?
Yeah. You? Do you get nervous up for another unplanned half hour? Yeah.
You?
Do you get nervous about
doing an unplanned show, Pete?
Um,
not with you, Luke,
because you're such a professional.
You can talk the hind legs
off a donkey.
I can.
With anyone else,
I'd be like,
uh-oh,
SpaghettiOs.
It's time for the
Luke and Pete show,
aka the show where
one host fills
so the other one
can do other stuff.
Well, we already know
you're going to be filling
for at least three seconds
so you can let Sam in
to give you a cup of tea.
Well, I'll be honest with you, Pete.
It's bloody great to be back here with you.
People who listen to the show won't know we've been away,
but of course we pre-record them in advance
if we are going to go away.
People who follow us on social media
will see that you've been in Romania,
which I'm sure we'll hear about later.
I've been in the US,
which I'll talk about a bit later as well.
But it's one of those things where you have to prep,
you have to get in, you have to do stuff.
And I'm a bit on US Eastern time still.
You're still on US Eastern time.
Yeah, so I wasn't able to allocate some time
to get a cup of tea from the canteen
because I put my work first, as you well know.
Unlike you who rescheduled this record two days hence
because you couldn't get out of bed.
I wasn't in bed. That was the problem.
I hadn't actually got to bed.
Sliced it however you want. It's unprofessional, whichever way you look at it.
Well, I mean, I would argue
that doing a podcast about
nothing is very low down at anyone's.
I mean, at least the other podcasts we do have a
subject. Yeah, and I think that's
where they're going wrong.
Yeah, why not just be able
to draw from the
entirety of human
experience rather than
just football.
And then just talk
about farts.
Yeah.
Pete, you know,
do you remember a
while back, you won't
remember this because
you don't remember
anything.
We talked about how
we're probably at least,
I hope this isn't too
self-aggrandizing, but
we're at least partly
responsible with the
Football Ramble and
probably with this as well
for a huge amount of people
just sitting around a table talking
and releasing it as a podcast.
Something we do here.
Right, okay.
We said that on the show
and then we got a tweet from someone saying,
oh, I've just started a film podcast with my mate.
And before I record the first episode,
I listened to the latest episode of Luke and Pete
where they said,
don't be just two blokes
sat around talking about nothing
oh yeah
somebody emailed in about that
yeah I was wondering
because I thought
because he sort of said
well don't have a go
at something I'm doing
I'm like going
if we were suddenly
thinking that we
have any sort of
right to
cast aspersions on anyone
bearing in mind
that I haven't even
printed anything out
for this show
I'm reading it off my phone yeah because I can find my laptop we were doing it in a self-deprecating way to cast aspersions on anyone, bearing in mind that I haven't even printed anything out for this show.
No.
I'm reading it off my phone.
Yeah.
Because I can find my laptop back. We were doing it in a self-deprecating way.
We were saying that, you know,
this is, we do this.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
If any of your podcasts have been inspired by us,
I mean, send them in.
I'm not going to listen to them.
I'm not a fan.
You can't even listen to your own.
I just wanted to get a boner for the idea
that we've inspired someone.
Yeah, that helps you.
Has there been a tall man
in this chair before me?
Literally,
I was about to say,
why are you so low down?
Why am I low down?
Who's in that chair normally?
It's you.
Yeah.
It's your chair.
That's my chair.
Am I melting?
Something's afoot.
Oh, do you know who it was?
Have I lost a vertebrae?
I know who's in that chair.
Right.
So Jack Dean
of the Jack Mate Happy Hour podcast
records in this studio.
Brought in a gigantic grasshopper.
He did.
He had a guy in called Nico
who's another YouTuber.
I can't see his microphone stand.
He was taller than me
so that's probably why.
Bloody hell.
I mean, Nico, if you're listening,
which you're not
because you've got 5 million subscribers
on YouTube
so you don't give a shit about us.
And you're in the underground.
Yeah.
You are about to get into the phase
of your career
where you go around clubs in Germany
playing shows
just to get heroin
before you die. I think in ibiza in the late 80s that's what he's got to
look forward to why does no in the meantime leave the studio as you found it yeah exactly
readjust the chair tall man yeah we're all not like you it's not a saying is it readjust the
chair tall man oh you're like peter ustinov. Pick up the gun. Pick up the gun.
Recently on the Luke and Pete show, we talked.
I like to do a recap every time we come in the studio.
I don't do it every show, but every time we come in,
just so people know where we are.
I do it under the guise of reminding listeners what's been happening, but really I'm reminding you, Pete.
Making up dances as kids, including Partners in Crime's
seminal classic Turtle Power.
Pete's one- Man Bread stage show.
Yeah. Remember that one?
U-Boat toilets and their inherent dangers,
drive-by blow dartings.
That was bizarre.
Yeah, and my grandad, as in Luke's
grandad, the bakery magnate.
Yes, handing out bread
for free cinema tickets, which
I imagine would be quite the test if you
ever went to the Audion in Leicester Square
they've had a big old
clear out
they've fitted some new
speakers
a new 50 quid projector
from Mapland
and they have
got a new set up
and apparently
one of the more
expensive tickets
for Mary Poppins
which is one of their
launch titles
this week
or next week
is £40
£40 for a cinema ticket
mad isn't it
it's ridiculous
in central London cinema prices are incredibly high insane so you week is £40. £40 for a cinema ticket. Mad, isn't it? It's ridiculous. In central London, cinema prices are incredibly high.
Insane.
Insane.
So you're saying £40?
I think that's the market though, isn't it?
I bought some.
So my granddad would need to drop off about 35 loaves of bread.
He'd have to have a skip full of starchy bread.
So if he wants to take my grandmother and his son and daughter,
my mother and uncle, to the cinema.
Presuming there's some sort of concession.
But then my mum is now 62.
She gets it as well.
Yeah.
It's going to be about 150 loaves of bread.
That's a lot of yeast.
I mean, people are going to start seeing that go missing
from my grandma's warehouse.
It's not going to be available to him.
I just wanted to see Mary Poppins, he'd say.
Yeah.
And also, I'm sorry.
I'll leave my security card by the reception.
You'll never hear from me again.
I think it's kind of more in line with what people expect to pay for a live,
well, not really a live experience, but an outside your house experience.
How much do we charge for a live Ramble?
About 20 quid, isn't it?
That's decent. A lot goes into it. A lot goes into that. It's a whole day out for us. Yeah, do we charge for a live ramble? About 20 quid, isn't it? That's decent.
A lot goes into it.
A lot goes into that.
It's a whole day out for us.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a performance, isn't it?
I mean, what do they really do
to flick on the lights
and press go on the projector?
Well, famously,
as Mark Kermode
always complains about
and in his excellent book,
The Good, The Bad
and The Multiplex,
he covers it in quite a lot of detail.
I'd recommend that book,
by the way.
There aren't even projectors
in cinemas now. So it's not even like there's a skill involved it's not because
being a projector was like an old like an old um profession it's all hard drives and downloads
exactly mate exactly i've got a hell of an interconnection for it was either it was either
a cinema experience i was at personally or someone told me about i think i might have even been
there i went to the cinema and the film started
and it was upside down
and it took about
15 minutes
to get someone
to come in
and change it
and start it again
that sounds
I mean they've clearly
got the thing
the wrong way up
haven't they
what do you think
the real
yeah I know
but like
that was clearly
pre-digital projectors
it was only about
10 years ago
well how did they do that
I don't know
ridiculous
answer on a postcard.
Hello at Luke and Pete show.com.
Any projectionist listening.
I paid an obscene amount of money
for tickets to go and see
Bob Dylan and Neil Young.
I'm going to be there.
Are you going to be there?
Yeah.
Yay.
I've got tickets as well.
Yeah.
How much for your tickets?
My friend got them for me
because he's got a Barclay card
and it was open.
I mean, what could be more
rock and roll than that?
If you've got a Barclay card,
you get them early.
The Barclay Artists of the British
Summertime Festival is a good festival,
but their VIP banding is fucking ridiculous.
How much did you shell out?
I missed the actual sale, so I had to go to one of those resellers.
Oh, you're an idiot.
You're an idiot.
Well, you know.
So actually, your whole story is undermined.
I don't have a Barclay card.
Yeah, well, quite.
But get a mate to get you one like I did.
You've undermined yourself by telling the story,
so you've basically gone to some sort of ticket.
300 quid each.
Yeah, exactly.
You're an idiot.
You are an idiot.
Idiot.
To see two old men, a man who's only doing it
because his house burned down
and he lost a load of money on an MP3 venture.
Don't ever go at Pono.
Because I tell you,
that is going to revolutionise the music industry.
They're only going on eBay for quite a bit of money.
I reckon they're going to be one of those things that people want,
like the Microsoft Zoom that everyone wanted
when Guardians of the Galaxy 2 came out.
Have you ever seen Bob Dylan live?
No.
Oh, you are a free-for-all boy.
Absolute shite.
None of the songs sound anything like what they sound like on record.
Honestly, this is going to sound ridiculous,
but you'll see when you see him. Sometimes i've seen him a couple times and i have got through the whole
song and thought you know what i don't know what song that was i don't know what song that was i
don't think that i because i just knew that um i'd want to go around about the time um but the
problem is i the problem is i i knew i wouldn't be able to get freebies because it's quite a popular gig.
Because, I mean, last year I got a lot of freebies from work,
so I went to go and see loads of people.
How did the other half live, eh?
Like The Cure.
Well, you know, I never asked for gigs.
Never asked for gigs.
Never ever asked for tickets.
But I saw a load of bands.
Killers and that, were the Killers there last summer?
Either way, I had a bloody good laugh.
I think you'll have a good time.
It's one of those things that you want to actually be there.
Paul Simon.
Then both come to London
at the same time.
It was a pretty special occasion.
Yeah.
It seems weird
that they're double billing.
You reckon you could get
two nights out of that?
Yeah.
Neil Young and Bob Dylan.
They'll probably come on stage together.
Speaking of...
One's got quite a lot...
No, they both have quite
whiny voices, haven't they?
Donald Dylan's voice now is like this.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Every one month, sunshine.
I was laying in bed.
One day, I changed it all.
But here I was still red.
But he doesn't sing it in the tune.
That's the problem.
The band are instructed to play a completely different song.
I had rumours that he's been on the brown most of his life.
Amazing.
Good effort.
He must have some fantastic...
He famously never stops touring.
So, I mean, he must be...
Got some downtime.
How old is he now?
Mid-70s, maybe?
Yeah.
Neil Young I've seen before as well.
Neil Young I saw live at Hammersmith Apollo.
He did the first half of the show, he did with...
Just acoustically, which is amazing.
And then he went off, come back on with a full band
and did a full band set, which is great.
Magic.
Yeah, it was good.
Speaking of people that some would argue
are seminal artists,
I saw Eddie Izzard on the tube in this morning.
Ah.
Dressed up to the nines, he was.
Dressed up to the nines.
He was...
Thigh-high leather, high-heeled boots.
He ran for a position in the Liverpool
quite recently.
He did.
I kept on getting emails about him.
His politics are
he is
unspeakably bad at
articulating his politics.
I would argue
that his performance on Question Time
Oh yeah, he's much worse than you.
His performance on Question Time around the
Brexit thing might have inspired people
in their millions to vote
for Brexit. Put it that way.
Put it that way.
Put it that way.
I will put it that way.
Before we take a little break and get to some emails,
i.e. the best part of the show,
we should probably chat further about North Sentinel Island,
shouldn't we?
Oh, while you were away, you sent me about five different pieces.
Interesting, mate. Well, it is interesting, but I mean, I don't know why you're obsessed with it. while you were away you sent me about five different pieces interesting mate
well
it is interesting
but I mean
I don't know why
you're obsessed with
you're like
the reason why
the North Sentinel people
don't trust white men
white people
is because
like a fucking duke
or like a dirty boy
went over
like about 300 years ago
and just molested their kids
I told you that
you didn't
it was all over the news
in Britain
like every little thing
alright let me just
rephrase that
I forwarded you the link
yeah but I'd already
read it
everyone had already
read everything about it
but let's just give
people an update
because they might
not remember
they might not remember
and they might not
know what we're
talking about
so North Sentinel
Island in the Indian
Ocean is one of the
few remaining
untouched civilizations
in the world
and India
who in theory
own the island
have left the Sentinelese to just get
on with it they're autonomous people they don't go near them because they're very very aggressive
as you've said very mistrusting of anyone um who's not from the island and um will react with deadly
force if anyone approaches them american guy john allen chow who was a 27 year old um preacher from
alabama from bama, Roll Tide.
He went over there, thought he was going to give him the old good word of Jesus
and all that kind of stuff that people sometimes do,
and was instantly killed.
Yeah.
He had no license.
You're like, God, do you want to meet him?
Smack.
He had no license to be there.
Seven people have been arrested for illegally ferrying
him to the island
he had no missionary
license
which I believe
is something you need
to have
can you get a missionary
license
I don't know if it's
called a missionary
license
but it's something
like you have to
inform the authorities
you're doing it
he didn't do that
I imagine sort of
going on and preaching
any kind of God
is actually politically
difficult in these days
yeah probably is
he
I'm going to bring Scientology to Syria it's got a lovely ring to it yeah actually politically um difficult in these days yeah probably is he he i'm gonna bring
scientology to syria and it's got a lovely ring to it yeah uh good luck with that i the thing
about this story is that we talked about before in the context of just them being an uncontacted
tribe and and it is a fascinating thing i mean no one really knows how many people are living there
i think i think there were it was assumed they had died out when the tsunami hit in boxing day
on boxing day about 13 14 years ago but they they obviously they it they didn they had died out when the tsunami hit on Boxing Day
about 13, 14 years ago.
But obviously they didn't wipe them out.
So they obviously knew something that we didn't
and they got up onto high ground or whatever.
No one knows how many of them are still there.
Some of the photos that have come out
since this incident of them standing guard on the beach
and there was a close-up picture of one of them with a...
Did you read the bit about them
fashioning their own tools?
Like how things have changed.
They've now got knives and stuff.
Yeah, because at one point
a ship obviously made of metal...
Washed up.
Yeah, grounded itself on the beach
and the crew of that ship
had to be airlifted out to safety.
But the boat has just been left there
and they've used it to start fashioning
metal tools and knives and stuff.
Imagine if you get washed up on that beach
and you just see a load of people
who are trying to kill you, basically.
You're like, I'm going to stay in this big metal ship.
Yeah, the thing about that...
Even though it has just sunk.
The thing about that,
and I don't know if we mentioned it at the time
when we first covered North Sentinel Island,
is that the incident you're describing there
actually happened.
The ship ran aground about 100 metres off the coast,
and they couldn't get off.
But the weather was so bad, a helicopter couldn't come in and save them.
And they had to sit there watching the North Sentinelese
fashioning rafts on the beach
with the sole intention of getting there and finding them and killing them.
So they were just sat there like sitting ducks.
But fortunately, they were able to be airlifted off.
Don't more ships have weapons?
I'm fairly certain that's the case.
It was just a merchant vessel.
In the ocean.
I think any vessel has
some form of weaponry.
I think the listeners will
probably look
to you for a
Jerry Springer-esque final thought about this
incident. What lessons can we
learn from it? Stay out of the North
Centralise business,
yeah? Yeah. Because we
fucked them up, that's why they don't trust us.
If that bloke hadn't gone over there and had
a weird fascination with the male
form all those years ago.
In the 1800s. Yeah. The
sexual peccadilloes of man
for many different reasons have
ruined this fine earth.
That's a bit rich coming from you.
I'm going to fuck a hole in the Ozon.
Oh, for God's sake.
Let's go to a break and then we'll have some emails.
All right, then.
Not that.
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.
I've missed that guy.
I'm fed up with him now.
Why?
I just think he's annoying.
I like him.
I like the way he goes, these thick-headed people.
When you hear him, what do you think his face looks like?
I reckon what he's doing now, he's probably that bloke off Gogglebox.
That's what you raised me up.
I was going to say that.
Yeah.
But he seems like an alright bloke, doesn't he?
Yeah.
I reckon he could get his dander off.
It's because you're a Marxist.
You don't like posh people, do you?
Yeah.
They run a bed and breakfast, those two.
They're better read than me.
I tell you what.
They've probably got their own theories about Marxism.
They probably agree.
Knowing these champagne socialists on the
telly going oh
darling should we go
up to town tomorrow
to buy some butter
what are you talking
about I'm just that's
how I think posh
people live
should we go up to
town to buy some
preserve you can buy
anything you want
butter
I've never had it
before good butter
yeah good butter
these days is hard to
find as the horn goes
people listening will
be pleased to know
this is actually the part of the show where hard to find as the time goes people listening will be pleased to know this is actually
the part of the show
where we turn things over
to our wonderful listeners
and because we've been
out of the studio
for a couple of weeks
we have got our
big backlog
bumper boys
and I want to start
with one
a while back
according to
Jazz
who's emailed in
it was episode 116
episode 116
we talked about
bad British gangster films
and I was talking about
Bonded by Blood
which features
Tama Hassan
some guy who used to be
a doorman
and then somehow
got his way into movies
and it's one of the worst
films I've ever seen
it's so bad
that I just really
really enjoyed it
on that note
I watched
King of Thieves
on the flight back
from the US
which one's King of Thieves?
It's the one about the Hatton Garden robbery.
Oh, yeah.
With Michael Caine, Ray Winston, Jim Brolin.
That is a classic plane film.
Never watch anything you actually want to watch.
Yeah, it's actually all right.
I mean, it's got so many watchable actors in it,
I just found myself fairly...
I mean, it's ridiculous.
The plot was mad.
Have they judged it up any?
But the plot wasn't mad in terms of a lot of the actual things that go on
in the film
actually happen
but the way
they approach it
in the movie
is completely
there's no real
explanation
people who don't
seem to know
each other very well
get involved
in the Hatton Garden
robbery
and obviously
it goes belly up
is there any
explanation of
that wonderful
grinder that they
used to open up
the hole in the wall oh the big drill the big drill it seems to open up the hole in the wall.
Oh the big drill.
The big drill it
seems to be make a
hole like the size
of your head.
Yeah I mean they
do have those.
It's a big masonry
drill right?
Yeah.
No well I mean
it'll probably be a
circle.
It's got a drill
bit in the middle
and a big circular
thing on the
outside of it.
It's fantastic though.
Gigantic though.
But they drill
three holes and
it's one of those
ones you have to
attach it to the
wall itself and
to the ground and you have to keep pouring to the wall itself and to the ground.
And you have to keep pouring water on it
so it doesn't catch fire.
Fantastic.
Yeah, that was good actually.
I enjoyed that bit.
I like the hardware.
Anyway, Jazz has been in touch
on that note
and said,
hi guys, love the show.
Was listening to your discussion
about shit British gangster films.
By some coincidence
that very evening
in a fit of boredom
I think I found
one of the worst.
The film is called
Killer Bitch
and stars the greats
of British gangster films.
Dave Courtney,
Cass Pennant,
Jason Mariner,
admittedly those two
are just football hooligans,
Alex Reid,
who once had sex
with Katie Price
and was on Big Brother,
and British hardcore
porn legend Ben Dover.
I watched 10 minutes
of this film on YouTube
and I don't think
I can adequately describe
how bad it is.
It was genuinely the worst 10 minutes of film I've ever seen I don't think I can adequately describe how bad it is it was genuinely
the worst 10 minutes
of film I've ever seen
keep up the good work Jazz
now
that's good to know
I'll definitely seek out
Killer Bitch
and let you all know
what I think about it
I once saw Bendo
on a plane
well I'm going to say
I met Bendo
in a pub
in my hometown
and it was around the time
when he was making
those bored housewives
DVDs
Jesus
so I was thinking
which one of my
mate's parents house is B Ben Dover going around?
Yeah.
But he was very nice.
We bought him a beer, and he was fine just to hang out with us.
I mean, I look back on it now, it's quite depressing.
I saw him on a plane, and I couldn't figure out whether it was him or...
Who's the guy you had?
I wish I could fly night up to the sky, that bloke?
Keith Francis?
No, Keith.
Stu Francis?
That's Keith something.
Keith.
Orville.
Orville.
Keith.
Orville and Keith.
I want to say Keith Floyd, but that's not him.
No.
Who is it?
Keith Harris?
Keith Harris, that's it, yeah.
Yeah, Keith Harris.
I couldn't figure out whether it's him.
I was like, oh, there's Keith Harris.
I was going, no, no, it's not.
They do look similar.
They've both got skullets.
And also the bloke who is the chairman of Middlesbrough,
Steve Gibson.
What are they all doing together?
No, I mean, just, no, he wasn't with him.
I'm saying he looks quite similar as well.
Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.
Piece from the same pod.
Slightly curly hair.
Yeah.
It's going south and it's going via the re-rexit.
Keith Harris.
Which is one of his videos.
Keith Harris died in 2015.
Have some respect.
Why?
Why did he die?
I don't know.
His skull is not there.
Well, his skull is still there.
I was thinking about this.
My nan used to say,
oh, tin ribs.
And she used to grab my ribs
like I was so skinny.
Like that scout leader.
Tails and turns.
Skeleton.
Like that scout leader that time.
Yeah, exactly.
Was it a scout leader?
No, it was a vicar.
That's right, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just saying she's a skeleton now, so she's...
For goodness sake.
She's just a skeleton.
I've won that battle in many ways.
Reminds me of that League of Gentlemen sketch with...
Oh, thank you, Scottia Sam, for bringing us some tea.
Here comes Sam for a cup of tea.
Thanks, Sam.
Pathetic.
Appreciate that, mate.
Thank you very much.
Get a coffee.
I don't want a coffee.
Get a coffee.
I don't drink coffee. Get some flav I don't drink coffee get some flavoured syrup
put some sugar on it
I remember you
getting me
when we didn't know
each other that well
this is going back
we first started
doing the ramble together
last time I got him a drink
this is the sort of story
that people will listen
they want to hear
when we first started
doing the ramble
I think we had to go
for like a meeting
like a very early meeting
for some reason
because I think people
think that we were
good friends before but we weren't
really, were we? I think I've still
got the Facebook messages of you contacting me
asking me to get involved in this
venture. Because back when you could actually
hold a girlfriend
down. That sounds bad.
No, I don't mean physically. I mean, she
would actually stick around. Maybe they were into that?
It's up to you. You never know.
It's not up to me. And them.
But your then-girlfriend said to me, Pete really loves your show. It's not up to me. And them. But your then girlfriend
said to me,
oh, Pete really loves your show.
I think you'd love to be on it.
So I got in touch.
And we needed some talent
to be honest.
Jesus Christ.
Anyway.
Running on fumes.
Early meeting.
Didn't know you that well.
I met you at a tube station in town.
Might have been something called Road.
And you bought me a coffee
and it was around Christmas time.
And it had like a gingerbread syrup in it.
Nice.
And I didn't want it.
I don't like coffee.
I chucked it in the bin without you noticing.
And that's the first time I've admitted that to you.
Oh, well, there you go.
It only took you 10 years.
To tell you, yeah.
My secret shame.
I figured out that I've been podcasting for 15 years.
Isn't that incredible?
Didn't your first ever podcast get picked up in some magazine?
Yeah, it was fairly popular.
Like 15 years ago, I did a little music podcast,
like new music podcast.
It was just like, remember there was like MP3 blogs
where just people would just have downloads of like different songs.
Like Hype Machine and stuff like that.
Yeah, stuff like that.
Said the Gramophone and stuff like that.
Yeah, I was reviewed a couple of times in Spin Magazine,
which I think still might be going,
certainly probably still an online venture, but one of the
bigger music magazines in America.
And it said that
I sound like I'm
on Ritalin.
Which, you know,
is a pretty decent
grab of things.
Yeah, I think that's fair.
And for those who are wondering, Keith Harris
unfortunately passed away from cancer. God rest him. Pete, I think that's fair. And for those who are wondering, Keith Harris unfortunately passed away from cancer.
God rest him.
Pete, you're up.
Emails.
Why team you up like that?
Why not?
I'm just saying.
We need to square that circle.
While you're looking for your emails,
I'm going to do one from my namesake.
I wish I could die, but I can.
A guy called Luke has emailed in, Pete.
And it's on the subject that you like more than any other subject, I think,
which is food that is no more.
Products, food products that no longer exist.
And I actually remember this one.
And this is from Luke, and he says,
just a quick one to mention, a discontinued food from years back.
You're going to like it, Donaldson.
It's right in your wheelhouse.
I imagine you consumed many of them.
Heinz baked bean pizzas.
Oh, yeah.
I seem to recall those.
He says,
one of my mates seems to remember these.
They were around in the early 2000s
and I loved the hot gooey mess.
I wish Heinz would come to their senses
and bring them back.
Baked beans and cheese works on a baked potato,
but I'm not sure whether it works on a pizza.
I reckon I might have eaten them
when I was at uni.
Yeah.
Very good chance.
While you were
eating microwave cheese.
If you do want to get in touch, it's hello at Luke and Pete
show dot com. You can email us about anything
you like. If it
piques our interest, we will
read it out. It's literally
anything from people who've been blowed up,
shot in a drive-by, to
baked beans on pizzas and everything in between.
We've got an email. shot in a drive-by to baked beans on pizzas and everything in between.
We've got an email.
Hello.
They don't leave a name.
Coward.
How can you email and not leave a name?
Well, I'm not going to read out their email address,
but the word Kane is involved,
so they might be called Kane.
Okay.
I just played football with a guy called Kane.
Good player.
Was he able?
Hello. After 114 shows
I have had enough
and I've unsubscribed
and I'm taking a break
from your show
he's only taking a break though
so there's still hope for us
could be a she
probably a he
sick of the gratuitous swearing
now mainly Pete
and I've finally had enough
cunt
I'm not a prude
I'm not a prude
I swear like a sailor
went on my own
driving my car
little swear bubble
it reminds me a bit
when Bill Grundy
interviewed the Sex Pistols
so I'm pretty sure
you fucking rotter
you rotter
you dirty rotter
it reminds
swearing has its place
and effectiveness
but when overused
as Pete does
then it's just
irritating to me
anyway
feel like you need
a Marcus to rein Pete in,
a bit like on the Ramble,
which I'll continue to listen to.
I may check back in in a few months
to see if there's any improvement.
See ya.
I mean, it's sanctimonious, isn't it?
It's unnecessary, isn't it?
I don't think either of us, Pete,
and I would demand that anyone listens
to this load of old nonsense.
We're very happy you do.
We're very grateful
but to email someone
to let them know
is I think
self-aggrandizing
yeah I mean you
know I mean they've
run out of the email
address and that's all
we can be thankful
for in between the
cussing
if I've learnt one
thing over the
and I have only learnt
one thing over the
years of doing this
he will absolutely be
listening to this show
oh massively
yeah and he'll hear
the email and he'll
email again well he wrote he will have written that email weeks ago oh massively yeah and he'll hear the email and he'll email again
well he wrote he
will have written
that email weeks ago
so he'll have had to
wait for a week and a
half before his email
was read he must have
thought well that
burns so hard
yeah
that they didn't sort
of read it out
but I did
what happens if we
were so offended by
that we stopped doing
the show
yeah
so think on Cain
the 42 other
listeners we've got
would have missed out
on that so you'd have
affected the life of 42 people.
So just trying to get to work,
get on with their jobs,
listening to us,
enjoying the show,
which is up to them.
And you've ruined it for him.
Ken.
Yeah.
Listen,
I'm going to do something else.
Pete,
that's going to be right up your street.
Even more so than Heinz baked bean pizzas,
because I was disappointed with the reaction.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm not that into pizzas or baked beans,
to be honest. This is from rich. Try some fish sausages yesterday. Disgusting, I'm not that into pizzas or baked beans, to be honest. This is from Rich.
Tried some fish sausages yesterday. Disgusting.
I'm going to ignore that.
I'm going to try something on this. I think this is
right up your street. I'm going to say
four words, and I'm going to let Rich take
it away. Okay.
Iron brew chew bars. Oh!
Big. There we go!
Oh, man. Right in the Venn diagram.
When my life starts flashing towards my eyes in about ten years' time, I'm going to be like, yeah, it's that. It we go. Oh, man. Right in the Vendor ground. When my life starts flashing towards my eyes in about 10 years' time,
I'm going to be like, yeah, it's that.
It's that.
That and Highland Toffee.
Big on the Iron Brew bars.
Oh.
Do you know what that's reminding me of?
So aggressive.
Like the most aggressive.
I don't know how they were able to have those.
Because it's like a can of Iron Brew condensed into a small,
stringy package of toffee.
And my God, it's aggressive.
They got little bits in them, I think.
Oh.
Good for you as well.
Oh my God.
It's making my mouth water and my eyes bleed just thinking about it.
Imagine what it's doing to your insides.
So strong.
Yeah, really flavoursome.
So strong.
Yeah.
Like, very concentrated.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was watching a video about a woman who drank,
she was doing like, she'd read some quack nonsense online
about someone doing a soy sauce colon cleanse sort of thing.
Oh my goodness.
And she thought she had some kind of,
something inside her that was making her feel ill.
So she drank an entire pint of soy sauce,
which of course killed her brain and made her a quadriplegic
killed the brain stem
and made her a quadriplegic
just like that
that's mad
but the thing is
she had
she must have had
some kind of
particular make up
that prevented her
from vomiting as well
which is really weird
because your body
just goes
like you just
is the soy sauce
just from all the salt
yeah I mean
it's got more salt
than anything in the world
than salt
than actual salt.
Yeah.
Iron brew chew bars.
Yeah, probably a fair amount of salt in there,
but the sugar's very much the overwhelming taste.
Well, Rich says, I've been with you since the first episode.
I enjoy the show.
I've emailed you twice now.
First one was about getting a plastic penis in the eye
during sex education.
I don't remember that, but it sounds good. good he says wanting to add to the chat about discontinued
food stuff i'm throwing the iron brew chew bar your way like a wham bar but iron brew flavored
um discontinued in england um as a dentist proved a human tooth would dissolve and liquidize one
left for merely a few hours but not discontinued in scot Eat Riches I know that not least
because my gran are
proud Glaswegians
continue to post us
this dangerous
contraband over the
border for years to
come.
So you must be a
Wambar man as well.
If I was going to
take a choice Wambar
or Iron Brew Bar I
would definitely go
for the Iron Brew Bar.
It's just oh my again
every time I say it
it's like a Pavlovian
I'm swallowing spit.
It's like a Pavlovian response. Yeah.allowing spit. It's like a Pavlovian response.
I've never really been into chewy sweets.
I'm more of a chocolate guy.
More than two.
I'm a chocolate guy.
Imagine just having more than two.
Your mouth would just start furring up.
If you can still get them in Scotland,
send them down to Donny.
I really want an Iron Brew Bar now.
Email us in
and we'll give you the address
Pete I think
because you are salivating
to such an extent
we need to go
yeah I think we should
probably get out of here
because that's our
half hour up
thank you very much
if you got in touch
and if you are a
disgruntled listener
thinking about leaving
the parish
email it in
let us know
hello at
lukeandpete.com
give us the information
exactly what it is you hate
meanwhile
we'll be back.
When will we be back, Pete?
Probably next time around.
Yeah, Monday.
Monday the 10th.
Fuck off.
This was a Radio Stakhanov production.
