So Luke and Pete, sure, I don't care what episode it is, I never have.
I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Luke Moore.
What have you got in your hand, Luke? Why are you messing around with bits of paper?
It's a hand, well, partly because if this were a Friends episode, it would be titled
The One Where The Internet Stopped Working.
It's barbaric in this
office today we've gone analog i've gone hard copy and i've got a piece of paper here and i'll give
you more context on it later right that just simply says six or more wood lice observed at
one time require an aircraft to be grounded for disinfestation right Right. So, let's take this down. The old cheesy wigs,
whatever they're bloody called,
or the pill beasts.
Pill bugs.
I've got a couple more emails
about wood lice later, actually.
Yeah, we've become the primary authorities
on wood lice,
and I never expected us to be so.
Take it, man.
Take it.
Well, it started from your boring story,
and we just went from there, really.
It's proven to not be boring now, brother.
Why would wood lice be boring now, brother.
Why would wood lace be, A, on a plane, B, what damage could they possibly do?
They don't eat wires.
No, true.
They live in damp areas.
We've heard from Pilot Neil.
Hello, Pilot Neil.
And regular listeners to the show will be very excited to hear that.
He has sent us a package, including a letter with partly that handwritten note there that I just mentioned.
And we will cover that, but I think we're going to cover it in the second half, Pete,
because we've got a structure and we've got to stick to it.
But it's interesting.
Put it that way.
You're the one bringing it up.
You're the one talking about Pilot Neil's little note.
If you start a podcast by saying six or more wood lice, get their attention.
Get their attention.
Get their attention.
I have a correction and clarification and a mea culpa, Pete Donaldson.
Am I the culpable one?
No, it's me.
It's me.
See, you're isolated out there.
Ignore the sigh.
Hurt him.
So a number of people pointed out
that when we talked on Thursday,
of course, Monday, 28th of January today,
Thursday, we did a show
and we talked about
cruise ships
there was a story
in the news
about a couple of
people on a cruise
getting into their room
and finding another couple
in flagrante
in for vagina rare
they were fucking
they were fucking
and we talked a bit
about what it would be
like to be on a cruise
and in it I said
you know
when the illness
goes round the cruise ship
it's disastrous and it's terrifying.
Can't get away. I remember...
But what I actually said was,
if I found out someone had
food poisoning, I'd go up to them and I'd snog them
to try and catch it. I do know you can't
catch food poisoning. I meant like a bug, like a
norovirus or something. I didn't mean food
poisoning. It's not contagious, is it? What if they still
had the rotten chicken in their mouth?
It wouldn't be affecting them, would it?
Because it wouldn't be in their stomach.
No, if you kiss them and you've got a fragment of chicken.
Fragments of the carcass.
Fragments of the carcass.
Great album.
Caught under the...
Great album, that.
Caught under a pallet.
Yeah, so I obviously meant like norovirus or something like that.
Right, okay.
So I just wanted to clear that up.
I apologise to those I've offended.
Maybe you've never seen Luke's kissing technique.
It involves a lot of biting.
Come and meet me later, mother.
Do check out at Luke and Pete
Show Twitter handle for that and
for my kissing technique. It's
disgusting. It's disgusting.
We just got him kissing a big watermelon we've cut
a big notch out of. It's weird.
Speaking of that, actually,
you just reminded me of something. Cutting a hole
into a watermelon. Is that where it's going to go? Sort of.
Okay. It's going to take a hard left just before that, but it's going to go sort of but it's going to take a hard left
just before that
but it is going to go
that sort of direction
I've heard yours does that
I've only got about
four friends
okay
you know that
because I think as an adult
it's very difficult
to maintain a good friendship
with people
it's difficult
it's like pitch spinning
exactly
it's really hard
I never trust anyone
who's over the age of 30
and has got about 200 friends
they can't be good friends
you can't say that.
Anyway, that's not important.
But I've got a WhatsApp group with my pals, and we just obviously shoot the shit, use
your stuff.
But I got an email.
I didn't get an email, actually.
I got a letter through the post about two weeks ago, and it was a taskmaster type thing.
Right.
And it was a taskmaster type thing.
Right.
And I got given an instruction to do a food portrait of my own face,
take a photo of it and email it to this Gmail address.
Right.
And my friends on the group got the email as well.
And we've all done it.
And we've almost been, well, we have been brought into this taskmaster kind of situation.
Right.
With our friends.
With no planning.
Didn't know it was going to happen.
We've all gone along with it.
And I was supposed to email my photo of my food face portrait by yesterday night.
And I did it.
And now I'm waiting to hear the results back.
Can I see it?
Yeah, you can see it.
Yeah.
I don't understand why.
This is how Saw.
You know when, I think it's in Saw 2 where people fall in a big pit think you're going to be happy with that pit of um that's pretty good to be fair
i mean what have you used for the eyes are those olives olives with no mushroom for a nose
peppercorns yeah mushroom for a nose that's nice that's well done that brown rice for a beard
wasted a lot of noodles there soup yeah egg noodles for my hair and a ham for a mouth
so i'll share that on the twitter I'll share that on the Twitter.
I'll share that on the Twitter.
That's actually quite beautifully done.
Yeah.
I would expect much less from you.
So, but anyway, but I did,
the reason that it made me thinking about...
Did you eat your own face?
Yeah, no, it's all in the fridge.
I'll put it back in the fridge.
You know what I did?
Because I'm so pathetic,
I actually did it after dinner
because I wasn't hungry.
But anyway,
but what I was going to do
when I went to the Sainsbury's
to get the ingredients,
I thought I'm going to do
it on the water.
I'm going 3D.
I'm going 3D.
Oh,
are you going to stick
the things to the water?
Yeah.
Right.
But I stopped
at the last minute
because I thought
I don't know what to use
to stick it on.
I think most of the ingredients
would probably just stick on
anyway,
wouldn't they?
Brown rice,
mate.
No,
probably not brown rice.
Probably not brown rice.
Do me a favour, love.
Well, you could...
So that's what I've been doing.
You could jam it into the flesh, the soft flesh of the slightly yielding soft flesh of a watermelon.
I just worry...
Imagine cutting...
You cut out the mouth, which is ham.
Imagine how annoyed that pig would be.
That's what it's gone for.
That's what it's...
Yeah, that's what it died for. I'd's gone for. That's what it's gone for.
Yeah, that's what I'd die for.
I mean, it's biopsy sized.
You could remove it
without killing the animal, but...
I think we're going to get
the vegans on a case again.
Hello at
nukenpizza.com vegans.
I hope you at least
ate the mouth.
It's all back in the fridge, mate.
It's all gone back in the fridge.
What?
You've put a depiction
of your own lips
back in the fridge?
I'll put it back in the slot
where the slice of ham came from and put it back in there and I'll eat it later. That is dreadful. I'll put it back in the slot where the slice of ham came from
and put it back in there
and I'll eat it later.
That is dreadful.
I'll have it in the sandwich tomorrow.
That is dreadful.
But can I just say,
I think for a 2D,
and I will show this
on the Twitter guys,
so I know it's not a visual feature,
so apologies
to those who are listening.
But very, very quickly
before we move on,
I think that's a pretty good
2D version.
Oh, you've done it very well.
So I'll be surprised
if the Taskmaster doesn't give me good points for that. I want to see everybody else's. I can't wait to see everybody else's. Yeah, same, you've done it very well. So I'll be surprised if the taskmaster
doesn't give me good points for that.
I want to see everybody else's.
I can't wait to see everybody else's.
Yeah, same.
I'll share those as well.
So that's what I've been
spending my time doing.
And ordinarily,
I am quite busy.
But I wanted to do something
this time around
on something really funny
I found out over the weekend.
But sadly,
because the internet's
blooming well now,
I'll have to wait till Thursday.
So that's something
to look forward to.
It involves feet fetishes.
So people who've got a foot fetish,
we'll cover it on Thursday
because I need to play a bit of audio.
So I'll do it then.
On Thursday,
the show was gone, Pete.
We talked a bit about first dates
and we learned that you have
a track record
as someone who takes
an actual alarm clock
onto dates with you
so you can remember the time.
Can you have a track record? I mean, that's one.
I mean, that's one instance.
How many dates have you been on in your life?
Yeah, but I didn't do it on every one, did I?
I don't think I've been on many dates, to be honest.
How many?
I don't know.
If you're formally going on...
Us British people don't date. That's why
net dating shouldn't work in this country. Because we get drunk, we get off with somebody, and then, you know, you're formally going... Us British people don't date. That's why net dating shouldn't work in this country.
Because we get drunk, we get off with somebody,
and then, you know, you're together.
And you fall into a relationship,
and then you get married, and then you have a kid.
Lovers in the air.
That's how it works.
I don't think dates really work in England.
What would be your top three tips
for those who are interested in getting into dating?
Because you're a charismatic guy.
Don't be a weirdo.
What do you mean by that? What do you mean by that? Beyond time's a charismatic guy. Don't be a weirdo. What do you mean by that?
What do you mean by that?
Beyond time's a good one.
Beyond time's a good one.
No, because I think people who,
mainly lasses who talk about
their experiences in internet dating,
just being a normal human being
sets you apart from 90% of the people
on the internet dating sites
and stuff like that.
A friend was on a date recently, actually this Friday,
and I was out with another mutual friend.
And we both have him on his, you know, iPhone's got Find Your Friends.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And we could see where he was in the Find Your Friends thing.
And we were kind of certain that he'd gone back to her house
because he was in just a residential road.
This is disgusting.
It's disgusting, isn't it?
It's terrible.
Yeah, this is probably illegal.
No, he's given us access to it.
He knows that we know where he is at any time.
And next thing you know, you're rapping on the window.
Let's have a look.
Rapping on the window.
Give us a little peek.
I don't know how it works.
Have you heard back from him?
No, I don't know. Okay.. Have you heard back from him? No.
Okay.
What a disgusting display of friendship that is.
What a disgusting display of friendship.
I thought you were going to say
that you found he was
in the pub next door
so you went in there.
And ruined it.
Yeah, no, just be normal.
Maybe put some nice clothes on.
Be polite.
Don't eat messy food.
Do put clothes on.
Do put clothes on.
Yeah, don't eat messy food.
Don't eat wings.
Don't eat spaghetti.
Be interested in the other person. Yeah. Do put clothes on. Do put clothes on. Yeah, don't eat messy food. Don't eat wings. Don't eat spaghetti. Be interested in the other person.
Yeah.
Ask questions.
Yeah, and just don't ask them a question
just so you can...
I'm probably guilty of this a little bit.
We ask a question just so you can
give your own opinion about something you want.
You know what I mean?
It's like the guy who...
I always sort of use the example of the guy
who doesn't have a telly
who will just talk about television so he can go watches who doesn't have a telly who will just talk about
television so he can go
I don't have a telly
yeah
it's a great
Alan Partridge line
when someone says
I don't have a TV
and he goes
yeah I'll say that sometimes
she's a brilliant foot
I don't watch much TV
yeah I'll say that sometimes
everyone watches TV
if you are someone
who thinks that TV
is rubbish
you're watching
the wrong TV.
I don't think it's rubbish.
I don't watch a lot of television,
but I watch a lot of pre-recorded shit.
Oh, yeah?
A lot of Netflix.
But that counts as telly now.
That's how TV is.
Oi, mate, listen.
It's on demand, but it's TV nonetheless.
I watched Green Book last night,
and the night before I watched The Black Klansman as well.
Okay, talk to me.
Definitely a theme to my weekend, racial injustice.
Talk to me.
Black Klansman is quite a fun tale for how heavy the subject is,
but then at the end, Spike Lee has put in a horrific bit of footage
from the Charleston or Charlestown protests where that...
The Tiki Torches one.
Yeah, where that guy murdered that Torches one Yeah where that guy
murdered that woman
by driving his car
into the protesters
an incredible bit of footage
that
comes out of nowhere
in the film
and just
really
wow
that put me through
I'd seen it before
but I mean
jeez
wow
I've heard very good things
about Green Book as well
It is very good
it's a bit
Plains, Trens and Automobiles
but
with you know obviously
racial injustice yeah racial injustice yeah um have you met racial injustice he's a real cunt
but yeah no he's uh i was like uh marshalla speaking of um yeah he's great speaking and
vigo mortalson's always good value speaking of um he's got a talk like this all the way to the
fucking film yeah is he italian american in this he's got a talk like this all the way through the fucking film. Is he Italian-American in this?
He talks like this all the time.
Luke and Peachy would be as popular if that was what your actual voice was.
Your big...
I'm scared I might say something that is actually really insensitive.
I don't know, because a lot of the films that I've watched
where that action is...
It's a thing.
It's a thing.
Speaking of...
That is disrespectful to my wife's family.
Why?
They're Italian-American.
Are they Italian-American?
Yeah.
Ah.
Yeah.
I've met your wife's dad
with his firm handshake.
He doesn't sound
Italian-American.
He is Italian-American.
Maybe he should
forget about it.
He loves you,
so he's not going to get,
he's not going to be
annoyed about that.
Forget about it.
Speaking of injustices
in films,
of a rather more
trivial level,
lots of people make the mistake
that planes, trains and automobiles
is a Christmas film.
I hear...
Look, let's not...
I never veto any of our subjects,
but whether something's a Christmas film or not
is the most born, dull argument.
It's bad banter.
Hello, Pete Donaldson.
Welcome to my trap. It's bad banter. Hello, Pete Donaldson. Welcome to my trap.
It's a Thanksgiving film.
It takes place around Thanksgiving.
Are they trying to get back to Thanksgiving?
I'm not trying to have that fucking,
oh, let's get some paid for branded content about diehard.
I'm literally telling you,
he's trying to get over Thanksgiving, not Christmas.
Okay.
Steve Martin.
He's got John Candy in the back of the truck.
Maybe America shouldn't plan their,
maybe they shouldn't plan their...
Maybe they shouldn't bring in another holiday at a time...
Bring in.
Excuse me.
Bring in another holiday at a time when it's snowy and difficult to get back.
Gets people confused.
Have Thanksgiving earlier on.
Have it around Easter.
Why does nobody try to get back at Easter?
Colleagues have a Christian nation, honestly.
True.
That is true, actually.
I need to get...
Nobody ever says, I really need to get back to it for Easter. For Easter Sunday. I want to eat some a Christian nation, honestly. True. That is true, actually. I need to get... Nobody ever says,
I really need to get back to it for Easter.
For Easter Sunday,
I want to eat some Easter eggs with my kids.
No one has to get back for Easter.
No.
That's not home alone.
No.
Up yours, America.
Up yours, Jesus.
I do see a lot of your rants coming,
but I have to say,
that one did blindside me somewhat.
So, Pete,
what do you want to talk about?
Do you want to talk about
how that girl fell over on Dancing on Ice? Do you want to talk about how that girl fell over
on Dancing on Ice?
Do you want to talk about that?
Happened at the weekend,
Sunday night?
The lady from
Gemma Collins.
Gemma Collins.
She just goes and goes,
that girl.
Proper face plant,
that was.
Yeah, she really went,
didn't she?
She,
yeah,
she hit herself.
I'm quite good at ice skating,
I've decided.
You know who's really good as well?
Michael Scott out of The Office.
I've been blown away by how good he is.
He was...
What, Steve Carell?
Steve Carell.
He was approaching thinking about being a professional goalie in the NHL.
So there we go.
Is that right?
I think he's got a semi-pro record or something like that.
My brother-in-law, Evan, he's an amazing skater.
It's unbelievable to watch him.
It's like he just
falls on the ice.
One of the things
that's interesting about
us not having internet
in this office at the moment
is because we're trying
to get, again,
to use the word,
we're trying to be
a bit more zeitgeisty
by recording and releasing
straight away on these shows.
I've actually got
the BBC website homepage
with all the headlines,
but I've got no pictures
and no context of the story.
So it's quite fun.
Remote island, Mourns death of world's loneliest duck. Wow, and there's no picture. but I've got no pictures and no context of the story so it's quite fun remote island
mourns death
of world's loneliest duck
wow and there's
no picture
councillor stands by
world war 2
myth comments
don't think I'll be
clicking on that one
I can't
I think I know that one
he
it was probably
holocausty wasn't it
I can't remember now
oh no no no
it wasn't
he said that
we were
we weren't the most
important partner when it came to the second said that we weren't the most important partner
when it came to the Second World War,
the Americans and the Russians were the ones who won it for us.
How about this one, Pete?
This could go either way.
This could literally go either way, 50-50.
Why granddad's family were gobsmacked by his past.
Ha, ha, ha.
Oh, that could be any, yeah.
I think I've seen, again, I think I've seen that story.
Japanese man dated a cockroach,
dreamed of having sex with it.
You having that?
You've made that up.
I haven't.
Where's that from?
Look at him.
His name is Lisa.
It's from SoraNews24.
My love of Japan never ends.
Is that Alex Jones?
Yeah.
When she passed away,
he ate her dead body
so she could be a part of him forever love is a really
crazy thing for some people cupid's arrow comes along when you meet a person you're attracted to
but for others that special someone doesn't always have to be a human being by now you may have heard
stories about men tying the knot with virtual wives lavish wedding ceremonies but this man
dated a cockroach for a year and he was so smitten he longed to have sex with her. Yuta Shinohara
talks about his love
for Lisa the cockroach.
He's an
entomophagist.
Entomophagist.
Either way,
he eats and makes dishes
using insects,
creating insect dishes
from scratch
and selling them to diners.
Deep fried crickets
is one of his specialties.
In which case, an insect is the last thing he wants to fall in love with.
But he wants, it's like falling in love with an omelette, isn't it?
So yeah, he basically wanted to have sex with a cockroach.
That's disappointing.
And also, I resent the use of the term dated
because that implies consent on behalf of the cockroach.
You don't know.
Which was impossible to obtain.
You could.
You could say one hiss for yes, two hisses for no. If it's a hiss the cockroach. You don't know. Which was impossible to obtain. You could. You could say one hiss for yes,
two hisses for no.
If it's a hissing cockroach.
That said, you can't just poke a hissing cockroach
and it'll hiss at you.
They are horrible.
Some people who want to date cockroaches
will read what they want into the reactions.
Yeah.
Confirmation bias.
Leave them cockroaches alone, you dirty old man.
Cockroachmanation bias.
What a little monster.
Why don't we go away for a little breaky,
and then when we come back
we are going to hear
in a pretty spectacular way
from your friend and mine,
Mr. Pilot Neil.
He imagined
what it would be like
to have sex with her
in a fantasy world
where she was supersized
or either he
was miniaturized.
How to make a long egg.
Chef Keef. Chief Keef. Keef Cooks. Chef Keef.
Chief Keef.
Keef Cooks.
Chief Keef, Keef Cooks.
He got in touch, didn't he, at one point?
Yeah.
He was upset with your treatment of him.
Yeah, there are very few times that I genuinely,
you know I'm a bit of a worrier,
and yeah, I worried about him not liking what I did.
Yeah.
But then, people will have checked out his videos, surely.
He'd have got a lot of traction
out of that I
think.
Well a moderate
amount of
traction.
More traction
than he had
before.
That guy who
eats all the
Civil War
rations.
He's got more.
Mind you he's
very popular.
He is incredibly
popular yeah.
As promised well
generally speaking if
you want to get in
touch with us you
tweet us at
Luke and Pete
show and of
course a lot of
stuff we've talked
about here will be
tweeted about on
there so you can
check it out.
Particularly my food face portrait of course. And of course, a lot of stuff we've talked about here will be tweeted about on there. So you can check it out. Particularly my food face porch,
right?
Of course.
Um,
and,
um,
yeah,
generally email in hello at Luke and pizza.com.
However,
one of our oldest,
um,
well,
one of our most longterm listeners and our,
and one of our closest listener friends,
longterm lover,
pilot Neil,
pilot Neil,
as a cockroach,
no,
as,
as, as written us a letter
and sent it in with a gift.
And it is phenomenally good.
And I've got it in front of me here
and I'm going to read it.
Hard copy.
You can hear it, feel it, listen to it, embrace it.
Was it Sky Spots?
Yeah.
Pilot Neil says,
Dear Luke and Pete,
Been meaning to send you this for a few months now
but never got around to it.
So please excuse the delay.
Quick point of order before we get started
though. In episode 136, you quite
reasonably suggest that Prince Philip
will drink only gin. But I can tell
you that when flying, his chipple of choice is
probably a few tins of London Pride.
Oh, nice. There we go. I can't
tell you why I think that, he says. Now,
when Pilot Neil sent us the letter,
it came in quite a heavy box.
And inside the box was a
small but weighty package.
And when we opened it up, Pete, it was
aviation speed tape.
The weight of this, it's like,
and we will tweet it, but
it's like if a roll
of tape was made out of metal.
It looks, I mean... Get a hold of that, Pete.
I mean, Luke, that's exactly what it is.
Let's admit that.
Oh, it is made of metal, isn't it?
Yeah, it's aluminium.
Look, I kind of want to...
You know, if you rub metal on your filing.
Don't put it on your fillings.
Yeah, don't put it on your fillings.
Pilot Neil goes on to say,
please find enclosed a roll of something
known as aviation speed tape.
Quite often, aircraft require temporary repairs
to secure loose panels, cover dents and fairings and so on and to do that the engineers will use
this speed tape it sounds a bit dodgy but it's standard practice and believe me it's better than
having said panels and fairings come off or start flapping about in flight it looks like fairly
normal aluminium tape but is certified to stay stuck on through all types of precipitation
extremes of temperature, and
speeds beyond Mach 1, which I think
is in excess of 750 miles an hour.
I just like how terrible it is. I cannot get
enough of this. It's so heavy.
It's very thin aluminium. It's made by the
market leader of sticky tape,
3M. It just looks like gaffer
tape, but it's highly reflective.
And I reckon, if we
melted this down, we could make an ipod out
we probably could um without going into details pilot neil says i recently came into possession
of this roll of speed tape and now having covered up all the holes and dents in my own life
realized it would make an excellent addition to the drawer toolbox or wherever pete keeps his
thermal paste um i then consider the tape might actually be of more use to you luke as a conversation
piece with his in-laws in America
I can personally vouch for the fact that if you stand
three or four New England men around a barbecue
with beers in their hands the talk will eventually
but inevitably turn to subjects
such as truck engines and of course
adhesive tapes in their uses
thank you very much for that Neil he says keep up the good work and I hope you
enjoyed the tape look I've made some three
I've made two ridges in my own body
by sticking it to my arm.
Man, you like...
And then kind of...
It's like industrial
light and magic,
Steven Spielberg.
It's like I've made
like Wolverine clothes
for myself.
It's wonderful.
There's a PS here.
Neil says,
I hope to have provided
you with some
iron-brewed chew bars
as well,
but the recent search
while on a trip to
Scotland proved fruitless.
Is there any truth
to the rumour that
they're no longer
manufactured following
a lawsuit by
Marty Pellow's
model girlfriend,
Eileen Catterson who claimed
they damaged her teeth and were therefore unfit
for human consumption. Wow!
That's a big shout. I don't know.
Well where's he getting that information from? Presumably that's actually true
that she's started a... I hope it is or we're in trouble
aren't we? A class action suit.
Yeah, it's...
I have fantasies that I'll get on
a plane that Pilot Neil
is piloting. A cockroach is piloting. A cockroach and I'll have sex with it. I mean I have fantasies that I'll get on a plane that Pilot Neil is piloting. A cockroach is piloting.
A cockroach, and I'll have sex with it.
I mean, I have stuck...
That's stuck to my skin.
Yeah, I don't know why you stuck that on your own body.
Three, two, one.
Ah, is it painful?
Is it painful?
No, it's not too sticky.
It's taking all the hairs off.
It's not too sticky, but I think just the whole mouldability of it
means that it holds everything together.
It's beautiful
Pilot Neil.
So Pilot Neil
who's also a
pioneer sending us
in things through
the post.
If you want to do
the same get in
touch with us
hello at
lukeandpetecher.com
we'll give you
our address.
It sounds like a
workshop.
Or tweet us.
It does.
It's very
satisfying to look
at and hold I have
to say.
It's so wonderfully
heavy.
Have you got an
email there Peter
Donaldson?
It's really special.
I haven't actually.
Well I'll tell you
what I've got one here about woodlice.
Alright then, give us it.
Give us it. It's from
Sally and James. Sally
and James. I think it's from Sally actually, but
she signs it off Sally and James.
Dear Luke and Pete, my husband James and I live in
Atlanta, a city you and I have both
visited, Pete. Yes. And we have been listening
to the Luke and Pete show since around Thanksgiving last
year. We found it via the Football Ramble, which we have been listening to for a and Pete show since around Thanksgiving last year. We found it via the
Football Ramble which
we have been listening
to for a few months
prior and it's our
favourite football
podcast.
Anyhow we'll be honest
and admit that a lot
of the references you
two make during the
show go completely
over our heads.
Although to be
completely and truly
honest when this
happens we usually
look at each other
and laugh along for
several moments before
one of us says what?
A perfect example of
this is the Woodlice discussion.
Okay.
We immensely enjoyed hearing
the extensive list of British synonyms
for woodlice so much
that it wasn't until episode 136
that I finally conceded
I had no idea what a woodlouse was.
At first I thought it was a termite,
but why would so many English children
and grandparents be encountering termites so often?
I don't think we have termites here, do we?
I don't know.
And so I actually googled it to see these hilarious creatures
you guys have so many excellent names for.
After a two-second image search,
my husband was doing the same thing on his phone,
but I am younger and faster,
I was surprised and a smidge disappointed
to see that you were talking about pill bugs.
Ah, yes, they do call them pill bugs.
Alternatively, as James calls them, roly-polies.
Both pill bug and roly-poly, I would say,
are much more accurately descriptive
than pretty much every single term you listed across three shows,
but neither of which are nearly as much fun to say
as chicky wig or chucky pig or grizzly gramphor or whatever.
So there you go.
Cheers, Sally and James.
There was one with gravy involved, wasn't there?
Listen, you, sunshine.
Gramphor gravy.
Gramphor gravy.
That's got to be made up, that one.
Listen, you, sunshine.
There are, I think, five different versions of the wood lice
or the wood louse
no there's like 12 I think
and one of them
doesn't roll up
yeah I know
like some of them
don't roll up
there's only one
that does roll up
so the pill bug
that rolls
or the roly poly one
that's what you're
talking about
so you've probably
got a different genus
so I thought there
were two
I thought there was one
and very scientifically
I thought there was
one that rolled up
and one that didn't
and we learnt like last week I think there's about 12 of them do you reckon they taste was one that rolled up and one that didn't. And we learned last week,
I think there's about 12 of them.
Do you reckon they taste,
because they are crustaceans,
do you reckon they taste a bit like lobster or prawn?
It's disgusting to think about,
but I mean,
that's the future, isn't it?
There's one that you get in Australia
called something bug,
which is like a massive woodlouse
and they do eat it.
Yeah.
If you're listening in Australia,
let us know what it is.
It's definitely something bug.
It's called like a,
I don't know,
like a Byron Bay bug or something.
Yeah.
And they do eat it like it's a lobster
and it looks horrendously bad.
I mean,
if lobsters didn't come out of the sea
that we sort of assume are clean,
like we wouldn't necessarily be like,
hmm,
great,
let's eat that fucking monster.
No,
I agree.
I think you're right.
I think that's right.
Yeah.
Have you got an email there,
Peter?
I just put my phone down. I thought we were moving on. I thought you were finding one while I think you're right. I think that's right, yeah. Have you got an email there, Peter? I just put my phone down.
I thought we were moving on.
I thought you were finding one while I was reading my email.
Well, I was...
I'd moved on because I was using my mobile phone
and moved on to the man fucking a cockroach.
Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah.
It's a great contribution, man.
We all appreciate it.
Yeah.
Keith Reynolds.
I wanted to put this one last week.
I didn't have time, though.
Hey, guys.
Isn't Luke droning on about Buzz Aldrin's greatness
in episode 135?
Worth noting that Buzz
is a notorious asshole
who can't stand
being in a room
where he isn't
the absolute centre of attention.
Don't get me wrong,
he's done some awesome things,
walked on the moon,
punched a dude in the face,
but also a giant
egotistical asshat.
Keith, mate,
he's been to the moon.
Yeah, I mean, what?
I mean, you...
I've seen what you do as a job.
I'm not going to reveal it.
I haven't seen it.
But you will have experienced men,
and mainly men, who are arrogant asshats.
So if that arrogant asshat happened to have been on the moon,
I think he gets a pass, to be honest.
I agree.
And I don't know what Keith's contribution is,
unless it's creating a YouTube cooking channel.
I think he works for a media agency,
so he will have experienced nomads,
is what I'm saying.
He possibly could even be one.
Possibly.
Why don't we...
Keith, let us know your big contribution,
your top five contributions,
and we'll make an assessment.
And we'll see which side of the fence we fall down from.
Yeah, but we don't know whether he's an abusive tool.
A tool?
We don't know whether he's a tool or not. That's a very floral way of abusive tool. A tool? We don't know
whether he's a tool or not.
That's a very floral way
of saying tool.
Pete,
I have no reason
to believe Keith
is a bad person.
I'm sure he's an
absolutely lovely person
and he's absolutely right.
It's happened to one thing
which is that
just because you've been
to the moon
doesn't mean you should
be a dickhead.
I mean,
it's always good to be
a good person as well.
I love Buzz though.
I love him.
Yeah.
Well,
again,
we love him because
he punched a man in the face
and is there any final way?
Why do you put it like that?
Is there any final reason
to love someone?
The man did deserve it.
Yeah.
Didn't he?
Yeah, right in the kisser.
All right, before we go, Pete,
what have you got planned
for the rest of the week?
Me and you have got to go
do a talk somewhere
and then,
oh, I've got to do some editing.
What have we got for the rest of the week?
No, I've got nothing planned.
Nothing?
I've finished the game
Pikunuku, which I recommend. You get that for your Switch. You know I've got nothing planned. Nothing. I've finished the game Pikuniku
which I recommend
you get that for your Switch.
You know I recommended the game
Minute.
If you haven't downloaded that
don't worry about that.
Download Pikuniku.
It is
the first game
that's made me genuinely
laugh
belly laugh
in years.
It is brilliant.
I haven't got round
to starting the game
you gave me last week yet.
Pikuniku.
Super Mario Odyssey
you gave me.
Oh yeah. When it comes to gaming I'm a basic bitch. Am I going to like it or yet? Piku Niku. Super Mario Odyssey you gave me. Oh yeah.
When it comes to gaming
I'm a basic bitch.
Am I going to like it or not?
Well you're going to
like Mario.
I don't know that
but am I going to like
this new one?
Oh Piku Niku,
yeah it's brilliant.
What's it about?
It's about a little
bloke who comes out
of a cave.
Everyone thinks he's
a monster but he ends
up helping a village.
Right.
It really is
fucking hilarious.
It sounds like
a bit like Shrek. Yeah a little bit but it's very simple. It really is fucking hilarious. It sounds like a bit like Shrek.
Yeah, a little bit
but it's very simple.
It's not as esoteric.
It's not as silly
as games like
Loco Roco
which was a game
on the PSP.
It's not as silly
as that.
It's similar.
It's vector animation
but it has so much
character
you can't fail
to be enchanted
and amused by it
sounds to me like
an official Pete Donaldson
