oh yeah luke pittshaw episode let me guess one two four another dose another dose we're like
antibiotics to be prescribed
twice a week
don't overdo it
don't fucking
overdo it
do you reckon
some people
would just download
all of them
and just listen
to one of them
a big bang
I can't imagine
it no
I'd be bored
to tears
I would say
for one thing
we're not
up to date
so
as in
it's got a lot
of re-listen value
well not re-listen
you can listen
to three or four at the same time in one session it's got a lot of re-listen value it's got a re-listen value well not re-listen I mean you can listen to three or four at the same time
in one session
it's got a timeless
quality about it
is that what you'd say
yeah like dust
like a fine wine
do you see that snow
in China
I don't know which part
maybe the northwest
it was snowing
and because of all the
dirt in the air
it came down as
yella
yella snow
don't eat the yella snow
yeah
I didn't see that but but I'm not surprised.
They said, you know, like the wildfires in Malibu a little while ago,
the air quality in San Francisco as a result was dreadful.
And you had to wear masks.
Uber drivers were giving away masks.
Where was this?
Oh, in California because of the fires.
Yeah.
So in Beijing
their air quality
was four or five times
worse
than the air quality
in San Francisco
in California
where everyone was
wearing face masks
right
like last week Beijing
yeah but
a lot of cities in China
have the worst pollution
in the world
I'm surprised
well there are parts of London
that don't reach EU levels
for safe air
so I mean
it's not a fire to be seen
it's a bit of an epidemic.
Speaking of snow and cold weather, when I was in the US...
It looked bloody chilly out there.
Oh, my goodness.
Wow.
So, the traditional thing, I think it's in several towns around the United States,
but particularly in Connecticut and Vermont, where I was,
Thanksgiving, Thursday, there's like a local sort of road race.
And it can be called like a local sort of road race.
And it can be called like a turkey trot or whatever.
Turkey trot.
Yeah, because the winner usually gets a turkey, right?
That's the traditional thing.
Nice.
And the one in... Cook it, Patrick Severer.
We do one in Arlington, Vermont.
It's called the Running of the Turkeys.
And last year, there was about 350, 400 people there.
Could you possibly change that to the Running of the Tofurkeys?
Yes.
Tofurkeys. We will, we will, yeah. The Running of the running of the Tofurkies? Yes, we will.
The running of a tofu.
But the problem with this time around is that it was
forecast to be minus
16 with a
wind chill factor of minus 25
or something. I was like, Romania
was like minus 15.
I'm a northerner. I walk
around with my shirt off and stuff. Look how like, I couldn't, I'm a northerner. You know, I walk around with my shirt off
and stuff going,
oh,
look how fucking hard I am.
But my word.
He's not.
But that's the thing.
And I arrogantly thought,
oh,
you know what?
Don't worry about it.
It'll just be cancelled.
So it'd be fine.
Got to the morning of the race.
I thought my American family
was winding me up.
Oh yeah,
it's going to be cold.
And I thought,
well,
they're not going to do it,
are they?
It's going to be cancelled.
It wasn't cancelled.
I had to borrow my wife's uncle's going to be cancelled it wasn't cancelled I had to borrow
my wife's uncle's
ski pants
and run it
and honestly
I'm not exaggerating
for about
after about 15
to 20 seconds
of just being
in motion
I couldn't feel
my face
yeah
it was like the weekend
I can feel my face
when I'm with you
but I love it
yeah
it was awful awful awful, awful.
Surely when it's that cold, you can't get the air in.
It's too cold.
Yeah, it's impossible.
Your alveoli or alveola score.
Pete, don't be a dick.
Yeah.
My brother-in-law, Evan, won it.
He won the whole thing.
Did he?
He won it.
Wow.
Yeah, he didn't get a turkey, though.
He got an apple pie this year.
He won it.
It's the second time he's won it.
Did he know at the start line that turkey though. He got an apple pie this year. He won it. It's the second time he's won it. Did he know at the start line
that he was going to get an apple pie?
I think he did it for the honour,
not the glory.
But he's got a big ginger beard.
He's got a big Tormund Giant Spain beard.
Yeah.
And he's an oyster fisherman.
That's his job.
Nice.
He's tough.
He's hardy, yeah.
He's an oyster fisherman at Cape Cod.
And when he,
apparently when he finished the race,
obviously I got back about 10 minutes after him,
so I didn't see this.
His beer was all frozen.
It was all crusted.
It looked like an Explorer.
Could you snap it off?
I wouldn't have eaten it,
but it would have been good to snap it off.
On a cracker.
But listen,
it was bloody cold, mate.
It was bloody cold.
Cape Cod is lovely.
I've not been to Cape Cod.
I'd love to be,
I'd love to be up there for reasons.
False advertising if you're getting oysters out there though,
isn't it?
What's in there?
Cape oysters.
There was a picture of you posted on your good lady wife's Instagram that I couldn't
stop looking at because it made me laugh so much because it doesn't look anything like
you.
Do you know the picture I'm thinking of?
Have I got straight hair?
No, you just got quite...
You look like somebody from the 80s who's on local
television oh yeah it's a really bad picture we had a joke about that yeah i said to me we don't
post it i can't believe it's the only post i've got it's the only post i've got of all of us you
got no eyebrows no beard hair yeah and your hair's gone all big yeah i look weird yeah i do look
weird yeah i mean you have the benefit of this is you've screenshot it and you've got it just Yeah. And your hair's gone all big. Yeah, I look weird. Yeah, I do look weird. I can't stop looking at it. Yeah.
I mean, for the benefit of the listeners,
you've screenshot it and you've got it just a picture of me.
It's actually a picture of like 16 people.
Yeah, you're right in the background.
The JPEG artifacting isn't helping you anywhere,
but it just made me laugh so much.
It is funny.
We had a chuckle about it ourselves.
I don't photo very well, really, so.
No, you photo fine.
That was just a particularly,
I don't either,
but that was a particularly poor one.
The amount of people who said to me,
oh, you're much more handsome in the flesh.
Flesh being the operative word.
Yeah, so I'm pleased I'm still entertaining
even while I'm away.
Even when we're apart, Pete.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I like when absolute decades on the internet go,
right, oh, I'm punching.
How did you get that woman?
It happens to the best of us,
but it just denies me.
It doesn't happen to any man
who's got an attractive girlfriend or wife.
Lemmy makes the point that he sort of said,
imagine if you went to a wedding and went,
oh, yeah, I'll put you in a bit of your way,
to the bride.
Imagine if he did that.
Imagine what a faux pas that would be
and how you'd be ostracized.
It's a disgusting bit of work.
Never mind.
But you know.
Happens to all of us, mate.
Don't objectify women.
That's all I'm saying.
Does it happen to you, Pete?
Yes.
Don't objectify anyone.
Don't objectify anyone.
Don't objectify animals.
You just objectified me there.
Yeah, I did.
You screenshot a picture of my face,
held up in front of me and laughed.
I was waiting to put that
in the group chat,
but you haven't been
particularly cuntish lately.
That's unlike me. Yeah, because you've been away. I'm disappointed to hear that in the group chat, but you haven't been particularly cuntish lately. That's unlike me.
Because you've been away.
I'm disappointed to hear that.
You're jet lagged.
I need to get in there.
I've caught you sleeping.
I've got, where's my,
I think I left my phone outside the studio,
but I've got a peak folder on my phone,
which has got 150 photos and videos of you.
How many?
In various strokes of undress.
Yeah, how many times have you got,
how many pictures of my penis have you got in your phone?
Enough.
Probably about five or six. And one video. have you got how many pictures of my penis have you got in your phone enough probably probably about
five or six
and one video
I feel like
one of those guys
who killed
that man
who wanted to
teach him about Jesus
yeah
I feel objectified
can I just say
the reference
to the video
I don't want people
listening to think
that we're just
these types of like
zoo magazine
hashtag lads because I don't think we are that but I think're just these types of like zoo magazine hashtag lads
because I don't think
we are that
but I think the reality
is we've spent so much
time together
over the last 12 years
or so
a penis will be seen
yeah a penis will be seen
and as you famously said
and the reason I've got
I won't go into detail
because it wouldn't be fair
to you or to anyone involved
but the reason I've got
a video
video of you
which features your penis
I'll just leave it at this
it is one of the best
practical jokes
I have ever seen
anyone do
it involves a curtain
and a prudish man
yes it does
Marcus Speller
yeah
and it's much better
than the time
when I left to go
and pick up a package
and come back
and you were completely naked
oh yeah
it's much better than that
I think I had not
much sleep that day
no
it always happens
I haven't had much sleep
this day
yeah
so yeah
I was in the US.
I ran in minus 16.
I had a lovely Thanksgiving, though.
It's great to get some food down you.
And, yeah, it's a nice part of the world to be in, Vermont,
particularly that part.
It's not grinding gears after a while.
It's just been so cold.
So darn cold.
But, yeah, yes, it does.
And I guess your wife doesn't get to visit very often.
No.
And, like, when she goes back,
she's got to deal with just the reality
of having to get around town when it's that.
Yeah, but the thing is,
they're much better geared up for it there.
They're adept.
They have better clothes.
I've actually got some decent clothes for that with her now.
Ski pants.
They also do things where their car,
their car's there,
will be in the garage
and you can start the car before you get in it so it warms up right the cars have got like heated seats you know the the um
the the establishments there and the homes know how to heat their houses properly yeah so like
it's not like in the in london which is absolutely baffling where as soon as it hits like october
they put the heating on on the trains even though it can be like 20 degrees still and then in the summer
they don't put the air conditioning on
until it's July
even though June
can be like 30 degrees
there's no mucking about
it's done properly
well we've got such
kind of like weather
that's just a bit
people halfway around
the world are going
what are you whinging about
I know it's rainy
and I know it can be
kind of grey sometimes
but it never really
gets that cold
and never really gets that hot
but on a warm day
on a Routemaster bus
it's awful
remember when they
introduced those
new Routemasters
the Boris dream
the fucking
wank fantasy
of introducing buses
that should have
died out
30 years ago
remember his water cannon
yeah
sell them for parts
that's a Donnie move
that is
buying something
really stupidly expensive
I think he bought two as well,
like you would have.
He bought two, yeah,
during the London riots
and then found out it was,
like,
we couldn't legally use them.
Brilliant.
You couldn't legally use them,
but you also couldn't use them
in the type of city
that London is
because the streets aren't really,
generally speaking,
aren't wide enough.
Jesus.
So they wouldn't have been
effective anywhere
because people would just
run around the corner.
I mean,
and they cost about five million.
Fantastic.
Yeah, carry on.
Fantastic.
What was I talking about?
You were talking about bendy buses.
No, route master buses.
It's just really hot.
They didn't work out the air conditioning needs at the top.
So in even April, it's way too hot to be on the bus.
Right.
And there's also a thing that gets trotted out
every summer in London.
And people who aren't in London may not know this,
but this gets trotted out by the Metro or the Even Standard every year,
where it gets to the point on the tube where it's illegal to transport cattle
in those conditions because it's too hot,
yet people just get on the tube twice a day, every day, throughout the entire summer.
I remember TFL a few years ago sort of went,
listen, if you've got any ideas about how to air condition the tube,
we'd like to hear them.
And it's like, we shouldn't have to fucking do this.
No, it's not our job.
How much is a season ticket?
Yeah.
I got an email the other day from Lambeth Council,
who I have to say, by and large, are very good, and I'm a fan of theirs.
And they emailed saying, literally saying,
we've got to make £43 million worth of savings over the next three years.
Would you like to fill in
our survey about
how we should do it?
No, I wouldn't actually.
I'll give you the money.
The only people
that are going to fill up
those surveys
are going to get rid
of the forums.
That's the only thing
people are going to write
because they're the only twats
who actually fill those things in.
That is what I'll put.
Get rid of my wife.
Start with the wife.
But yeah,
so it's absolutely ridiculous
but I was just going to say
that
it is
bad
how
how bad we are
at dealing with weather
in the UK
but I think it's because
we don't really get much of it
and occasionally
it does happen
it's like the whole snow thing
isn't it
they say
oh you know
how can the snow
affect us so badly
and why aren't the roads
ploughed and salted
well the reality is councils aren't going to spend millions of pounds
on ploughs and salt because it happens once every 15 years.
It's a waste of money.
There's no point doing it, so that's why it happens.
Is it Mike Cernovich, the fascist?
Is it Mike Cernovich?
It rings a bell, yeah.
I think he went on.
He was talking about the rising sea levels and stuff.
I think it was Mike Cernovich.
He basically went on some kind of thing and said that he doesn't really care about the rising sea levels
because people will just sell their homes.
I don't think it was actually Mike Cernovich.
I think that's incorrect.
Actually, I've written Mule Cernovich, which doesn't really help.
It doesn't make any sense.
Mike Cernovich has on multiple occasions
falsely accused
various journalists
and anti-Donald Trump
figures of being pedophiles.
Nice.
There we go.
Some organisations
identify him
as a male supremacist.
Sounds like a lovely chat.
Yeah, supremacist.
It wasn't Mike Cernovich
but he's a
Peter Gator
weirdo.
Yeah, so I'm sure
they're all very strange.
Stop besmirching
the good name of Peter Mike Cernovich. Yeah, absolutely I'm sure they're all very strange. Stop besmirching the good name of Peter
Mike Sanovich.
Yeah, absolutely right.
I've got an email
that I am desperate to do.
So why don't you
take us to a break
and come back
and I'm going to
tease it.
I'm going to tease it.
Three-year-old boy
tries to commit a murder.
What?
Yeah, you heard it.
That's not ideal, is it?
Hey y'all,
it's Farmer Meemaw.
And today, I'm going to show you what I've been doing
to take care of the pantry moth situation.
I wonder if those moths ever came back.
I keep finding them in my sock drawer.
They've moved onto my sock drawer.
It's a weird thing.
I don't think I've ever had a problem with moths, ever.
Isn't that weird?
A moth's just not like the scent.
Maybe you don't.
Maybe you're Musk.
You're Elon Musk.
You don't really
You wear a lot of
woolen clothes though
On the other hand
I've got
45 pet spiders
I've never noticed it
I've never had a problem
Little shit
Yeah
Absolute shit
Don't you get them
in your wallet as well
Right email
Three year old boy
tries to commit murder
I'm going to name him
Shame
Michael Williams
He says Someone's ringing me from America Did they hear us talking Do not answer it Right, email. Three-year-old boy tries to commit murder. I'm going to name him shame. Muda. Michael Williams.
He says,
Ahoy, hoy, chaps.
Someone's ringing me from America.
Did they hear us talking?
Do not answer it.
Oh my God, it's the FBI.
Do not answer it.
Yeah, ahoy, hoy, chaps.
Long-time emailer,
first-time listener.
See what you've done there, Michael.
I would like to tell you about a near-death experience
following your discussion
in episode 118.
We talked a bit about
near-death experiences, Pete,
if you probably won't remember.
He says, this is a tale with a twist, though.death experiences, Pete, if you probably won't remember. He says,
this is a tale with a twist, though.
You see, it wasn't me
who had the experience.
It was another person,
and I put them in this situation.
Now, before you go calling the popo,
that means police,
I'd like to point out
that I was only three years old.
My family had taken me
on a camping trip
to the Yorkshire Dales.
Been there,
beautiful part of the world.
I can't remember, I'll tell you what, there's a town in the Yorkshire Dales. Been there, beautiful part of the world. I can't remember.
I'll tell you what.
There's a town in the Yorkshire Dales,
or on the brink of the Yorkshire Dales,
called Settle, and it is absolutely beautiful.
Anyway, Michael goes on to say,
I can't remember where exactly,
but the site was on a riverbank,
and there were ducks to feed, and ice cream shops,
and horses and cows, and dogs and ducks,
and a whole host of lovely things
for a wee scamp like me to enjoy.
My parents had a set of reins, not too dissimilar to which one the horses, which the horses
would have.
Yeah, I had them when I was a kid.
I think they're quite controversial now.
Why?
For obvious reasons.
Well, because it's a bit weird, isn't it?
Is it?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
Yeah, but if you're, yeah, but.
Not an animal, are you?
It's a kid.
Well.
And Michael says the reins allowed me to wander a few feet from them but I was still
under their control
of course
part of the riverbank
was about six feet high
with a vertical cliff wall
leading to the fast
flowing river
you can see
where this is going
while walking
we came across
another family
with a child
of a similar age
while the parents talked
I pushed the other
child off the cliff
there isn't really
much more to the story
other than that
the other child was absolutely fine a bit wet and my parents were mortified I'm a lovely 30 year old bloke now child off the cliff. There isn't really much more to the story other than that the
other child was
absolutely fine,
a bit wet,
and my parents were
mortified.
I'm a lovely 30-year-old
bloke now and I've
never tried to kill
anyone else since.
Weird.
The things kids do,
eh?
Keep up the good work,
Michael.
That was you.
A taunt for your
mistakes.
Michael,
three years old and
trying to kill
another kid.
I like to think he
became a member of
the Coast Guard.
Yeah, maybe.
To atone for his sins.
Maybe.
Maybe it was a young Mike Cernovich.
Dreadful behaviour.
One of my earliest memories was being...
It was a young Mike Cernovich,
and the other child was just a woman.
Get in the water.
It's what you deserve.
Men's rights.
Yeah.
I'm lonely.
Dram the witch.
P.S. Why won't anyone have sex with me?
I just want to be popular.
I just want to be loved.
I've wet myself.
One of my earliest memories was being in Hartlepool,
Chatham Road, the place,
the house that got knocked down by the seagull wagon driver.
Strap yourselves in, listeners.
This is going to be a good one.
There's a back alley,
and there was two little girls that used to live down our alley.
Because up north, you mess around in the alley.
Yeah.
In my mind
northern kids
of your
Just hang out in alleys.
of your vintage
among broken bottles
and socioeconomic background
they only have
either
trousers on
or a top
but never both.
Like Donald Duck.
Yeah.
So sometimes
a young kid
will have
underwear a t-shirt and welly boots Yeah. So sometimes a young kid will have underwear, a t-shirt, and welly boots.
Yeah, that's fair.
Or trousers or shorts and no top.
Why bother?
Yeah.
Carry on.
She must have been about maybe two, toddling around, both of them.
And one of them, actually one of them is probably a bit older,
probably maybe three.
One of them got a big, you know, like a wooden saw.
How old were you at this point?
I was probably about five.
Right, okay.
Got a wooden saw and just put it onto her sister's forehead
and just started rubbing it up and down,
like just sawing the kid's head.
What were you doing?
I was like, wow, this is about to get interesting.
Yeah.
And yeah, she did an almighty gash on her sister's head.
I don't know what a wooden saw is.
A saw?
But why would it be made of wood?
It's completely ineffective, isn't it?
Come on now, there's different kinds of saws for different kinds of wood.
Like a still saw, woodcut.
Oh, you mean a saw to cut wood?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
So like...
Oh my God, that's even worse.
Yeah, just got, I mean, yeah.
I thought you meant like a child's...
Like a child saw made it work.
No, just kind of started sawing into her.
Did you intervene?
I think everyone was just a bit shocked.
You've been white knighting since you were five years old.
I couldn't believe that.
Sorry, Mike Cernovich told me this.
I can't believe how...
So what was the outshot?
What actually happened?
What was the outshot?
A young child had a big sore mark on her head.
Probably scarred to this day.
Well, I hope she recovered
because it wasn't nice to watch.
Do you remember...
Oh, it doesn't sound like it.
Do you remember when we went out
for a couple of beers
and on the way home,
I headbutted the tube door?
Yeah, yeah.
I think we mentioned it
a couple of shots ago, in fact.
Did we?
Like a money box.
I had a big cut across my head.
Split my head.
You know what it was?
It was those bobbled paving stones
on the edge of tube platform.
Because obviously they use those,
I guess,
so blind people can know
when the edge of the platform is.
Yeah.
And I was running to get on the tube
and I stumbled and smashed my head on it.
It was like Finchie Road,
which is like,
I think the tube station is lower.
The tube is lower than the platform.
Anyway.
It's a lot of how you, they have posters all around the tube going, careful, don't fall on the tracks. Yeah tube is lower than the platform. They have posters
all around the tube
going,
careful,
don't fall on the tracks.
It wasn't even raining.
What about this, Pete?
We talked a while back
about your famous
improvisation
of a school stage performance
centred around
the 80s sitcom Bread.
Yes.
Because you were
left in the lurch
by a friend.
Is that right?
Yeah.
That's great.
Yeah.
Um,
and so it was at Cubs.
Oh,
that's it.
Yeah.
Kia was,
has been in touch saying about on the subject of this school performance type thing.
Uh,
and he says,
hello,
uh,
Pete's ludicrous talent show chat reminded me of a school talent show.
I was involved with at the impressionable age of eight.
Um,
the Spice Girls were in their pomp, and every lunchtime
the girls would practice dance routines to Spice
Girls songs next to the wall.
I mean,
which he says is like a wall they used to hang out
in the playground. I remember this
because I was around this sort of right age, and I remember
a lot of the girls in my year doing
a Spice Girls routine at the end of year,
ball or whatever it is. Do you remember when dads
would sort of dress up as Spice Girls
and do little dances
at like social clubs
and stuff
just an excuse to put
a dress on
it's hilarious
love that
is your dad with
Stewie involved
no I'd never seen
my dad in drag
no me either
he's seen me in drag
on the front of the
Harty Bull Mill
so proud
good
only time the Harty Bull Mill
has ever been interested
in my career
because one of their
sister organisations
put me in their newspaper
so they sat up
and took notice
and put me on the front page
so the first time
and only time
I've ever been on the front page
of the Hartlepool Mail
was me dressed
as the Travago lady
yeah the thing is
I think your dad
would have liked
to have seen you
on the front page
of a local newspaper
as some sort of
Nobel Prize winning
physicist or something
yeah
you've been making
an arse of yourself
and that's how you've done it.
Putting makeup on,
wearing makeup that I applied myself.
There we go.
Back to Kia,
who says in classic schoolboy tactics,
a group of us young gents decided to perform an irreverent lampoon of their
efforts at the talent show by performing the Spice Girls famous hit.
Who do you think you are?
The punchline was that instead of the original chorus lyrics,
which are swing it, shake it, move it, make it. Who do you think? We the punch line was that instead of the original chorus lyrics which
are swing it shake it move it make it who do you think uh we sang pick it lick it roll it flick it
see how far it goes i mean i presume that's about a bogey but it's but it sounds a bit sexual kia
says we are of course referring to the deplorable act of picking one's nose licking said booger
rolling it into a small bogey ball and
flicking it probably
at the girls.
Why do you need to
lick it?
I don't know.
I've never got that
stage of it.
I don't understand
that.
The performance
itself was mediocre
at best but we
ended up winning
because one of the
troupe, Oli, did a
backflip at the end.
Fantastic.
A sad tale of
star-level substance
but we'll take it.
Cheers, Kia.
Kia's job title in
his email is Senior Inventor.
Nice.
Now, unless he's just typed that in.
Is that for a particular company?
Unless he's laid a trap for us that we've walked into.
I don't know.
I'd like to hear more, Kia, so get back in touch.
Couldn't we see an automatic bogey rolling machine that flicks?
Were you one of those kids that could do backflips at school?
No, I wasn't very sporty
I also think
with things like
school talent shows
it's
you get an idea
in your head
of how
it's going to go
everyone's going to be like
fuck that's brilliant
but the actual
sitting down
and writing the show
is the last thing
you think about
you have the image
when we've ever done
anything like
live or like
something televisual um jim from the ramble has always got an idea about how things are going to
look yeah before he because he's a good good writer but he's got his obsession yeah i always
had this obsession with putting bags on our heads and pretending to be a footballer and that's an
image i'll give him that yeah. Yeah. But there's no,
there's no substance.
There's no substance.
He's Ollie in this scenario.
Yeah.
But he put it up three or four times
and every time I go,
Jim.
What does it mean?
Jim,
what does it mean?
Yeah.
Give me,
give me more.
Yeah.
And he never did.
So one day he'll be on telly
doing the bags on head thing.
Yeah.
Yeah,
he will be.
Yeah.
I love that Oat Beach.
It's just airing grievances
on other podcasts.
Like Seinfeld.
Wait until I tell you
about Abroad in Japan.
Oh, yeah?
You don't know about that
at the moment?
No, it's all right.
I've been in a couple
of his videos,
so I've never been exposed
to a YouTube audience
really before.
It's for the best.
My God, it's for the best.
Well, the Football Ramble
YouTube audience,
which is about 10,000 people.
Wow.
We should do something with that.
Well, yeah, I mean,
but that's more...
But proper YouTubers have got like a million subscribers, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Like Jack Dean and...
But yeah, exactly.
So also he's sort of, I'm not on my dollar.
Football is on my dollar.
If I'm producing something for the channel,
if we're doing something together for the channel,
it's our kind of creation.
But when you're kind of jumping into someone else's world
that they've crafted, it's a different situation so you're
getting sort of reviewed
from people who
automatically don't like
you they like the other
guy yeah
well no let me just
rephrase that if you
don't mind
they don't know you
yeah
and they've decided
that you're shit
that's different
yeah
I got some art reviews
but they were mainly
lookalikes
hair
that is a good hair
you look like everyone that is a good hair you look like everyone
that is a good hair
haircut for a
receding hairline
you look like
Edward Snowden
never had Edward Snowden
before
literally any one
with glasses
any of those glasses
anybody with glasses
I seem to look like
Gary Oldman
I've had before
I look like
Ewan McGregor
I can't look like
everyone that's the thing because I sometimes like ifwan McGregor I can't look like everyone
that's the thing
because I
because sometimes like
if you have like
we do the ramble
and that's a quite popular product
and more popular than anything else we do
I think it's fair to say
and so we get like
the odd people
sort of stopping us in the street
sort of say
oh I listen to the ramble
I'm like oh mate
that's great
so I'm always sort of predisposed
to sort of getting ready
to sort of do that
and I think I've spoken about this before.
A man leaned in and I thought he was going to talk about the Ramble.
Yeah.
And he's actually asking me where my court was from.
I know.
Right.
So I'd only lean in.
And so like, I'll occasionally get a double look.
And I just genuinely, it's because I look like everybody.
You know what I mean?
I look like everybody's mate.
No, you do.
I completely agree.
I don't think there's a week that goes past.
There's not a day that goes past in my world.
Yeah, we don't get a tweet or whatever.
Going, oh, looking good, Pete.
Yeah, some bank robber or something.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's even.
And I'll only ever retreat the good ones,
but there was a really good one on a tube of an old gentleman
with grey hair who looked just like me.
And there was another guy who, on CCTV in Birmingham, no Nottingham
stole some jewellery from her jewellers
and I looked very much, the hair
was spot on, exactly the same
as my hair. I found some comments on these YouTube videos
about you. Pete takes normal
and throws it out the window
That sounds more positive
than it needed to be Luke. Yeah.
Dig deep mate. I should probably check out Pete's podcast
he's an absolute legend. See, bringing people in. You need to dig deep, mate. I should probably check out Pete's podcast. He's an absolute legend.
See, bringing people in.
That's from Pete Donaldson 1.
Pete's outfit is very underprepared.
What does that mean?
Well, listen,
it's nothing to do with me, mate.
I've got a Japan shirt and some shorts.
Do you know what?
I'm just going to do Control F, Pete.
See if I can find some more from you, okay?
Let's have a look here,
what we've got here
lol
nice one Pete
see
popular
I found my audience
18 year olds
Pete's accent
is rubbish
oh
yeah
that's good
good to see Pete
on the show
that is a very stylish
way to wear
a receding hairline
I will take a mental note
because all of my uncles
are bald
right yeah exactly stuff like that but you've known me for 10 years and my hairline, I will take a mental note because all of my uncles are bald. Right.
Yeah, exactly.
Stuff like that.
But you've known me for 10 years and my hairline hasn't really moved.
It's been like this for a long time.
So people who know us and have listened to us before might know the story that you actually
grew your hair.
Well, listen, you deny this, but it is the truth.
You grew your hair back because I said once that you've got a skin hair because you're
going bald.
I've said this before.
It wasn't you. It was Richard Bacon's wife. Said that you've got a skin hair because you're going bald. I've said this before. It wasn't you.
It was Richard Bacon's wife.
Said that you shaved your head because you went bald.
I went, no.
I've still got hair.
I said it as well.
All right.
Why does her opinion matter more?
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
Because she's not you.
Yeah.
If your opinion mattered for anything, I don't think I'd be able to hang out with you.
True.
Because of your barbs
true constant barbs they're affectionate though the worst comment i ever got on them online about
something i've done and i still to this day don't really understand it but i suspect it isn't good
i think i did like i can't remember exactly what it was but it's something i worked really hard on
i think i think it was the first ever article i wrote for like i think it might have
been the guardians and for me back then it was a big deal and it probably still would be a big
deal now whatever but i mean in in the um in the uh summer i wrote something for the washington
post and that was like a massive deal for me but anyway i wrote something for the guardian and it
took me ages right and i was really proud of it and i sent it around to my to my family everything
and obviously it was online as well and online the comment, which you can't get rid of.
You can't change it.
Bear in mind, it was about 800 words.
It's taken me a couple of days.
Really well researched and everything, I thought.
First comment, can't get rid of it.
Won't move.
Won't always be there now.
Typical more.
Typical more.
What were you writing about?
Not in a good way.
Repatriation.
I don't know. You're disgusting. What that guy said about? Not in a good way. Repatriation. I don't know.
I don't know.
You're disgusting.
What that guy said,
and it will be a guy,
in two words is,
this sums up everything
I already thought I knew
about Luke Moore
and I don't care
anything more
to hear about him again.
Typical Moore.
Yeah.
Because you don't say,
typical Moore is
non-complementary.
Classic Moore
is complementary.
Potentially.
Potentially.
It's got more chances of being complementary than typical Moore. But the fact that it's written in an internet comment means it's non-complementary classic mower is complementary potentially it's got more chance
of being complementary
than typical mower
but the fact that it's
written in an internet comment
means it's non-complementary
I think I would probably go
at the top of those choices
I'd have classic mower
at the top
then probably typical mower
then usual mower
which is probably even worse
usual mower specs
and then just under one
you fat cunt
which I get caught a lot as well
so there we go
that's complementary
sorry for the guy who emailed in about the swearing,
who definitely is still listening.
What I like about internet commentary is that I would love to see the stats
where it sort of lays, male, female.
And also I'd count internet commenters must be 99% male.
It must be a percentage where you'd be like,
wow, that could be a statistical
anomaly. 100% could be
male.
Or if not, transition males.
No, I think...
Because you don't leave that behind.
The thing inside you that goes,
I'm going to stick my fucking oar here.
I've definitely met some women who are vicious.
Vicious? In my time. Yeah yeah but they don't feel a need to sit down and stick their fucking oar in but it does take it i mean obviously there are people out there
genuinely got a hard life so i'm not trying to make out that it's a you know a real burden or
whatever but it does take a while when you do stuff you do a job where everything you do is
criticized or complimented or at some point, some way judged.
Yeah.
It does take you a while to get used to that,
to sort of,
sort of zone out and just ignore it,
which is what I do now.
Yeah.
And,
um,
Oh yeah.
I like,
I've never,
it didn't take long for me to sort of go,
well,
I,
it didn't,
it doesn't take long to sort of go,
well,
you know,
you're only ever going to listen to the good comments,
aren't you?
And you're going to disregard the bad comments.
Yes, it's human nature.
It's just human nature.
So, yeah, it is funny though, isn't it?
Anyway, if you are going to leave us a review about this show,
you say what you want in the comments, but give it five stars.
Five stars, yeah.
Because that's really important.
Slit it, but give it five stars, yeah.
On that bombshell, Pete,
I think we've probably subjected people to enough of this inane nonsense.
But we will, of of course be back on Monday
for another episode
of the Luke and Pete show
it might be 1-2-5 actually
and it's coming up to Christmas
so we should probably
do something around Christmas
an intercity 1-2-5
of a show
yes
goes to 125 miles per hour
what would you like
our listeners to do
or to get involved with
for a Christmas episode
Christmas traditions
in your household maybe
we've done it already
haven't we
have we done it
the problem with asking you about anything is you don't maybe? We've done it already, haven't we? Have we done it? The problem with asking you
about anything is you don't
remember anything we've done.
No, you write things down.
That's your aide de mémoire.
Just put sleigh bells
over the theme.
All right, we'll see you
next time.
Hello at lucanpeach.com
to get in touch.
We'd love to hear from you.
We'll plough through your emails.
If you've sent one in
and it's not been read out yet,
do not fear.
It's either rubbish
or we haven't got to it yet.
We did do Christmas
traditions.
We did Christmas arguments which is different. We didn't do Christmas traditions. We did Christmas arguments, which is different.
Better.
Better.
Christmas traditions in your household.
Do you all, I don't know, have a Christmas orgy with your friends?
Do you all feed pork to your ducks?
Yeah.
Or your geese?
Merry Christmas, man.
Let's have some sex.
This was a Radio Stakhanov production.
That was really unnecessary, Pete.
