How you doing?
It's the Luke and Pete show.
Pete Donaldson with you and Lukey Moore.
All right.
On the floor.
It's Monday.
It is Monday, isn't it?
Don't let it get you down.
It's a particularly grim day out there.
Well.
Whoa.
Well.
Steady.
I've been micro-dancing.
I couldn't give a shit.
No, hang on.
Whoa.
Wasn't that Steve Jobs' last words?
What were they?
Remember that on Facebook?
Like those kind of viral quotes
where he sort of talked about,
I wish I'd spent more time with my family.
I wish I hadn't spent so much time in the boardroom.
All bullshit.
All he said was wow or wow.
Yeah.
I can imagine that you've got other things.
Must be the baking soda.
Do you remember that advert?
I do remember that.
Was it Arm & Hammer?
Arm & Hammer.
If you are from Arm & Hammer, get in touch.
Or if you are Armie Hammer, who's had some kind of a renaissance.
Has he?
Yeah, he was in, not Blue is the Longest Colour,
that's about two lesbians.
I'm thinking about the two gay men in,
it's the peach eating one.
The only film I know him being in is that
Fairy Tale movie movie like Snow White
or something
he's too big
he's like
he's like 6 foot 4
and just as wide
he's a big old hunk hunk
have you interviewed him
no
but he's just
I wasn't going to launch
into a wicked whisper
it is Monday
the 4th of February
yeah you said that
through January
we have been through January
for a few days now
and when you said
oh it's very miserable out there,
the reason I went,
whoa, it's not on this occasion
because I'm microdosing.
It's because...
It's now February.
Today is actually National Sickie Day.
Oh, yes.
I did read upon this.
According to research,
the first Monday in February
is the worst day of the year
for absenteeism
with post-Christmas blues,
poor weather,
and a long wait
for the summer holiday season. Just a few of the factors for absenteeism with post-Christmas blues, poor weather and a long wait for the summer holiday season.
Just a few of the factors involved.
Any notable sickies you've pulled over the years, Pete?
I am useless.
My admin is dreadful, but genuinely, I don't ever pull sickies.
I think it's, you know, book your holiday in.
I'll just say you're not going to do something.
But don't just leave people in the lurch.
Yeah, but you don't have a traditional job though.
No, exactly.
But I've never...
But back when you were...
I guess I'm sort of thinking about back then.
Oh, yeah, all the time, though.
I was in my 20s.
We got there in the end.
I was in my 20s
and I was going to nightclubs at two o'clock
on a Tuesday night.
Madame Georgios.
Yeah.
And so you were just...
What would be your top techniques?
Well, I've always had a pully tum-tum,
so that's always very helpful. Yeah. Yeah, usually a pooly tum-tum, so that's always very helpful.
Yeah.
Yeah, usually just pooly tum-tum, to be fair.
Yeah, I forgot how many seconds I didn't pull
when I had an office job.
Good point, yeah.
Yeah, everyone does that.
I mean, my top tip would have been...
When you're salaried,
you're not missing out any money,
you know what I mean?
Exactly.
My top tip would have been...
Because do you remember...
Surely back in the day,
you remember having to actually physically
call. So you can't text,
no text, you'd physically
have to call in.
My tactic, my
technique always used to be to hang my
head back over the bed.
Oh, what?
So imagine the back was on the foot of the bed
and you're facing the end and hang your head
back over. So essentially, you sound like this.
I'm sorry.
Like that.
So it sounds a little straining.
Okay.
Yeah.
And that gives it more authenticity.
Yeah, a bit like that.
It gives it more authenticity.
But there was one thing.
If you're going to put a sickie in the summer,
you can't go outside.
You can't go the next day with a full tan.
Yeah. I've told that story before.
Especially if you've fallen sick for hay fever, which I've done before.
Hay fever!
Yeah.
I've probably told this story before, but a friend used to be the goalkeeper in our
football team, went all the way to South Africa, to Johannesburg, big Bruce Springsteen fan.
He took a sickie from his job as a teacher. I think he took two days off in the end. Flew
there,
made sure he covered himself in suntan lotion
because it was high summer in South Africa
in Johannesburg, so he didn't get a tan
or anything. Watched
Bruce Springsteen, flew back.
No one was any the wiser. He was like,
stomach sort of flew,
horrible gastroenteritis
or something.
And then when he went on the Bruceucespringsteen.com website,
he was literally the front row of the crowd.
Yeah, Bruce Springsteen!
So if his boss wasn't a Bruce Springsteen fan, he'd have been fine.
Exactly.
But was his boss?
No, I don't think he ever got caught.
It was just made me laugh.
It was just like, yeah, Bruce Springsteen in Johannesburg yesterday.
That's really interesting because that taps into something I was going to say,
which is that when social media came in,
then it became a minefield.
Oh, massively, yeah.
Because if you were someone,
I don't really tweet that much now,
but back in the day,
I used to tweet quite a lot.
So say 10 years ago or whatever.
2am going,
I am fucked!
Next morning.
You can't be like,
oh, beautiful day today.
Just chucked a sickie
so I want to go walk
around the park or something.
Because people can see it.
They definitely don't do that.
Because the problem is the side effect of people essentially broadcasting
what they're doing with their life every single day
means there's nowhere to hide.
Well, also, I guess you couldn't get away with,
I read once that Eddie Murphy sends a complete body double
to some Chinese premieres.
He looks so much like him that he's just a...
Well, like Nutty Professor
through the clump.
The big fat suit.
The big fat suit, yeah.
He's got like five different
lookalikes on set
when he's doing films.
So if you ever see
the back of Eddie Murphy's head,
he's got a back of the head double.
Right.
If you ever see his hands,
obviously everyone's got
a hand double,
but like all his stuff
is so weird.
So how many scenes
does he actually do?
Very few,
just the front of the face,
that's it.
It's really, really weird.
Quite an expensive guy to hire then. Yeah, I think he would be anywhere. Well, they'll only front of the face, that's it. It's really, really weird. Quite an expensive guy
to hire then.
Yeah,
I think he would be anywhere.
Well,
they'll only be on
like a return that's like,
you know,
100 grand or something,
I reckon here.
And he'll be on
a ridiculous amount.
But yeah,
he has on occasion,
apparently,
allegedly sent his lookalike
to premieres in the Far East.
The rapper MF Doom,
who used to,
went through a phase
of sending people,
because he wears a mask
when he performs, sending basically just because he, because he wears a mask when he performs,
sending basically just because he's also quite a large man,
sending just a fat bloke to rap.
So people would go to watch him.
That's a nice classic.
And he's one of the best rappers of all time.
You know, Danny Kelly, my colleague,
calls him one of the finest manipulators of the English language ever.
And you go and see him rap and it's just some fat bloke.
You can sort of notice pretty early on
I'd imagine
that it's not
one of the greatest
wordsmiths the US
has ever produced
in the 21st century
so you know
it catches up
with you sooner or later
it was a piece of piss
it'll say on his
wrist on
but if you've
if you've
pulled a sickie
with hilarious consequences
I'm going to say
tragic consequences as well
hello at
lukeandpeach.com, tell us about it.
Maybe you got so emotionally invested
in the No Doubt album, Tragic Kingdom,
which of course has the song Don't Speak on it.
Yes.
Maybe you had Tragic Kingdom consequences
when you pulled a sickie.
Just listen to that album all day.
Was that a flick?
I mean, it's quite niche, that.
Was that a song, No Doubt,
about the relationship breakdown
of two members
of the band
in a Fleetwood Mac style?
Yeah,
it was the bassist
and Gwen Stefani.
Apologies to the bassist
for not remembering his name,
but I think he's well used
to being called the bassist.
He's the bassist
of Gwen Stefani.
But apparently,
when they sing it live,
they're still,
still them,
damn it,
as a wrestling fan once said.
Well,
in a sort of
slightly delayed welcome,
welcome to the Luke and Pete show.
Yes, we'll get on to Gavin Rosdale in a minute.
We will, yeah.
Yeah, he was on the scene, wasn't he?
He probably had something to do with it, the snake.
Previously, we tied up the last of the remaining woodlice
slash pillbark slash...
The last of international woodlice.
Yeah, aka grumpy grampers.
We tied up all the last of the remaining thread there.
Well, not really, because a guy came in with an email sort of basically saying that he
did a little kind of obstacle course for them.
Oh, right.
Which I really, really like.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Isn't that nice?
Okay.
So now we've put...
Now we have.
Now we have.
We played an interview on Thursday ahead of Super Bowl Sunday containing many many
references to feet
and as a correction
I heard from plenty
of New York Jets fans
after last Thursday's show
because I said that
the Pats beat the Jets
after that
but they didn't
in fact the Jets won
Pats coach Bill Belichick
wasn't happy
with young Wes
either at the time
but
not you Wes
Pats have put that to bed
by winning the Super Bowl
last night
in quite boring fashion
over the LA Rams 13-3
is that why you're sleepy
is that
did you stay up and watch it
no I fell asleep
before the game even started
goodo
and we found out
let me finish
we found out
your bathroom was about to collapse
has it collapsed
no it's fine
fine
the man came around
it was actually a leak
so I was wrong
now I'm finished
I mean
if someone's listened
if someone's a fan
they'll know
what we talked about
give people a re-
give people a re- Give people a remix.
A remix.
Give them a Francis Ford Coppola redux.
I thought you'd finished.
See, we need stabs.
We could have used my last week.
I actually do have a stab for that.
Do you have a stab for that?
How's your weekend been, all right?
It's been good.
I went to go and see Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse.
Very good.
Very good.
I'm a big fan of animation
and the way they animated the characters
were fascinating.
No motion blur used,
no computer motion blur used,
so they had to be quite creative
about how they used the arm swinging
and the leg swinging.
Why did they decide to do that?
I don't know,
just a return to the traditional forms of animation.
Like back in the day, to make it look like a hand or an arm or a leg was moving quite quickly,
you would sort of draw in a kind of blur.
But this time they used little triangles.
Google it.
It's amazingly rendered.
Oh, it's stunning.
It looks beautiful.
Have you seen it?
No.
It's a good movie.
And obviously, superhero movies these days
have now had to become superware,
sort of self-aware, sorry,
because it's such a saturated market now.
If you think about how earnest an early Marvel movie was,
like Iron Man or the first Spider-Man or whatever,
and now you think of the movies that they make
sort of post-Deadpool,
like Guardians of the Galaxy, this one,
and one or two others,
they've become sort of almost meta.
Yeah, I think people just got bored of them.
But also like comics are quite self-aware
and the fact that they do have a universe,
they can break the fourth wall.
It's very good anyway,
I would recommend it.
It's got a bit of a Sin City
slash Scott Pilgrim type of vibe.
Okay, yeah.
It feels a bit like Scott Pilgrim
and it looks a bit like
what I remember
Sin City looked like
but that was a long time ago
to be fair
a lot of bums and boobs
in that though to be fair
it's not as dark as that
all in black and white
and red
it's got some great voice actors
in it as well
it's got Nicolas Cage
in it
and Liv Schreiber
Nicolas Cage is perfectly cast
as well
well Nicolas Cage is
he was
I think he did
suit
he did a suit fitting
for Superman I remember that he did yeah he did a suit fitting for Superman
I remember that
he did yeah
back in the day
yeah those photos leaked
didn't they
he looked ridiculous
he's wonderfully mad
I think we spoke about it before
but if we
I pre-see everything
I say on this podcast
I'm sure I've said this before
but if you ever go on a tour
of New Orleans
he's bought most buildings
in New Orleans
didn't he almost bankrupt himself
yeah
I imagine he sold off a few
right
but there's some disgusting stories about this horrible woman
who murdered all her slaves.
And he bought that building because it was the most haunted building
in the whole of New Orleans.
Right.
It were bloody rank.
What about you?
What have you been up to?
I've not murdered any slaves.
I didn't put a steel rod in their head and squeeze it around
like that horrible woman.
Disappointing.
Imagine hearing a tour guide
recount that story
when you're a bit hungover.
Oh, it's depressing.
And you've just had your dinner
and you're just like,
oh God.
Impressive.
I watched all of the Ted Bundy tapes
on Netflix.
That's so funny.
You're going to bring that up
because I was going to bring something up.
Because I've murdered a lot of women.
No, no, no.
I was going to bring something
to do with Ted Bundy
to the table today.
TB.
You're talking about
the documentary series, right?
Yes.
Talk to me specifically about how he's portrayed in that.
He's portrayed as a highly intelligent,
absolute flanner.
He's incredibly charismatic to the point where he's actually
quite excruciating in court.
He presents his own counsel.
He overrules his own defence.
He's a nightmare man, but incredibly...
But they've really sort of got a big hard-on for him,
like saying he's very attractive.
Yeah, I've got a real problem with this.
Well, you can't deny that his certain magnetism allowed him
to do things that other people...
I imagine I would be a much less successful murderer,
serial killer.
But the main problem with the whole thing is
how not joined up the entirety of the dragnet was.
He was able to murder so many people in the Northwest
and then escape to Florida after his second escape through,
he escaped from prison twice, effectively.
Once jumping out of a window
and once just jumping through a hole in his own cell.
He got really skinny and jumped through a hole in the sky.
What are those cells like?
They're pretty good.
You say that, but have they got any holes in them?
One or two holes.
It's not a cell then.
Not a cell then.
No.
But he managed to go down to Florida,
get on a flight.
Back then, you could fly everywhere
without actually giving any ID and stuff. Fly down to Florida and get on a flight, back then you could fly everywhere without actually giving any ID and stuff,
fly down to Florida
and commit some atrocious murders.
The man was a psychotic, bipolar maniac.
Yeah, and I don't have a problem per se
with a true crime study of him
and lessons to be learned
and that kind of stuff.
And I personally do find that interesting
and I will admit that.
My issue is this Ted Bundy movie coming out
starring Zac Efron.
None of us have seen this film, though.
No, I haven't seen it.
No, I haven't seen it,
and I'm fully prepared to accept that.
But the fact that Efron has been cast
is a red flag straight away.
Why?
Because he's making him out to be the most handsome man ever.
And I thought before this film was even announced
that his
handsomeness is like overstated i mean what the reality is he was handsome and he was superficially
charming and manipulative but most importantly he was a prolific killer of women right and that is
that is the most important thing no it doesn't but you can't tell me that ted bundy is as handsome
as zack efron no so all of a sudden i know this as Zac Efron. No. So all of a sudden,
I know this happens in Hollywood a lot,
but all of a sudden we're seeing someone being portrayed automatically as far more handsome.
And I imagine when the film comes out,
far more charming than he actually was.
I don't know why he has to be portrayed in this way.
And I don't know why he has to be portrayed in any way in terms of fiction.
And the glamorization of such a man to me
feels totally unnecessary.
But is this not the natural
kind of escalation of
the true crime podcast?
Yeah, and I think it's wrong.
I think the study of
almost like a morbid fascination
with crime, I understand, and I think it's probably
something that if everyone's honest with themselves
unites a lot of people. But, unites a lot of people.
But it unites a lot of people
for a lot of reasons.
And some people
have a morbid fascination with it.
But some people
are interested in procedural stuff,
are interested in lessons
that can be learned,
are interested in
their detective's work.
Lots of different reasons, right?
And I get the value of that.
To me,
with the idea of casting
Zac Efron as Ted Bundy
in a film, just leave it. You don't
need to do it.
Well, it'll sell. And the thing that's, I don't want to say that's an excuse, I'm just
saying that there's reasons why it's being made.
I understand it'll sell and make money.
But the thing that gets me is about his whole tale. I knew nothing of his whole tale. How
incompetent and how little the systems were joined up.
He could get away with like,
just by crossing state lines.
I think that's a,
that's a common problem in the U S certainly wasn't that era.
Cause it's also localized because it is a United States,
right?
That's why you,
I mean,
if you think about it,
given that the U S is a sovereign nation,
it's crazy that you could commit a crime in one part of the country and be
sent to death and commit a crime in another part of the country and not be
sentenced to death.
That's mad. Well the whole kind of
him dying,
him getting sent down and the judge
and bearing in mind that the Netflix
documentary is way more
compulsive viewing simply because
the actual trial was
filmed by a million different TV
cameras. His whole thing, his
trip to the actual the to the actual
um death room was was was filmed on that stuff um it was it was a new kind of um trial i think and
that it kind of kick-started it was the first time they'd use satellite trucks for example yeah um
and that was just interviewing um i mean for for one of a better word hicks um outside the court
outside the um prison where he was going to get killed in the end.
It's a fascinating story simply because, again,
just how little they were joined up, how, you know,
they kind of looked into catching him every single time.
They caught him.
They looked in his back of his VU Beetle or VU Beetle.
VW Beetle, yeah.
And he had like a hammer and a chisel and a balaclava.
And it's just like, wow, yeah, I see why he got caught.
But it was only ever like traffic stops and stuff like that
he got caught with.
It's funny, isn't it?
Because, well, no, this is funny, but that's a turn of phrase.
It's interesting because I talk about the portrayal of someone like Bundy
by someone like Efron in a Hollywood kind of way.
And I realize I haven't seen the film
and I'm complaining about it.
But in actual fact, if I'm being totally honest,
the line between news and entertainment in the US
is so thin as to be almost non-existent.
I mean, the reason all these true crime documentaries
on Netflix, Making a Murderer, The Staircase,
all that kind of stuff,
the reason they're even able to be made is because a Murderer, The Staircase, all that kind of stuff,
the reason they're even able to be made is because there is footage, video footage,
of every single trial.
And every single thing that happens is videoed.
Obviously, it's not like that here.
We have to make, do court drawings,
all that kind of thing, don't we?
So it's not quite as, the line isn't quite as thin.
So yeah, it's a fascinating situation.
I would be interested in watching the documentary.
I'm probably not going to watch the film
because I feel quite strongly about it.
I think if you watch,
I think the, you know,
bearing in mind this man indulges in coprophilia,
he indulges in coprophilia?
No.
Yeah, coprophilia.
Oh, you're talking about necrophilia?
Necrophilia, sorry.
Coprophilia is something completely different.
Well, I wouldn't put it past him quite frankly.
You know, chopping off women's heads he got put
in the trial
one of the major parts of a piece of evidence
now not so used quite so much
was bite marks and stuff like that
that he put on the women
and I can't see
that film portraying
his crimes
it's going to be hard for them to portray those crimes
because they are so
unbelievably...
Well, I hope they don't
glamorise it in any way.
I don't think they can.
That's why,
watching his story,
I was sort of thinking,
well, they have to
kind of concentrate
on the caucus.
They have to concentrate
on his evasion of the law.
They have to concentrate
on that part of his life
rather than...
Bearing in mind,
he only admitted to the crimes
two days before he was sentenced.
Well, it's two days
before he died.
He actually admitted what he'd done and where certain bodies were found
and stuff like that.
It's just watching a man run out of options and run out of opportunities
and playing the law as a fucking fiddle for so long
and then realising he was all out of options
and then just finally just sort of going,
right, this is what I did. And then being killed.
All right, let's have a break.
What a cunt.
Let's have a break.
Ted Bundy, what a cunt.
We'll come back and talk nothing more
of prolific serial killers.
You're probably wondering why I'm in a cold, dark room
repeatedly spilling molasses.
Always wondering that.
Yeah.
Always.
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the email address.
We've had a lot of great emails recently,
and that is a credit to you, the listener.
It's part of the Luke and Pete Show community.
You're very welcome within it.
It's a broad church, Pete, but always an entertaining one.
What have you got for us, Donny?
Auschwitz!
Oh, good.
Oh, dear.
James, it's a horrible story, but I mean, you know,
this is a rather depressing story that somehow ruined my faith in humanity
I've just promised people
that there would be
no more serial killing
and now you're coming
off the back of the outbreak
with Auschwitz
literally the biggest one
last year my girlfriend
and I visited Krakow
and went on a day trip
to Auschwitz
it is a truly moving experience
and I believe everyone
should at least learn
something about it
there's very few
of the original buildings
remaining at Auschwitz
back now
because a lot was destroyed when it was
liberated in 1945. One block that still remains
was a holding cell for women who were no longer fit to
work. Their last stop before
the gas chambers, obviously. The inside
of this building was covered from ceiling to floor on all
walls with graffiti. Fascinated
thinking this was done by the prisoners, I read
a few of the more prominent inscriptions
only to see some were written in English. Confused,
I asked the tour guide if this was an original
bit of graffiti. She
informed me that it was actually all done by
tourists. That's weird.
She went on to tell a story about a time
she actually caught an
Irishman in the process of carving
his name in the wall with a coin.
When confronted, he told her, I just wanted to commemorate
my visit. I mean, don't do that.
I mean, do not do that.
Amazing.
I really didn't want my takeaway memories
and feeling towards the experience
as one of disgust towards the current generation.
I mean, there could have been any age,
to be honest, James, but yeah.
Yeah.
I'm interested in your opinions on this
and hope it will discourage people
from thinking this is okay.
Yeah, never do that.
There's a whole subset of men on Grindr
in the Auschwitz Memorial in Berlin.
Obviously, people sort of tagging themselves in a certain place.
Right.
Kind of like people kind of looking and actually having one of their pictures.
Because it's quite an arty place to take a picture, isn't it?
The Auschwitz Memorial.
Right.
Those concrete blocks.
Yeah, that's right.
I do have a problem
with that particular memorial
because it doesn't really,
it says nothing
about what actually went on.
Yeah, I think when you are commissioning...
A little bit too abstract for me.
Fine, no,
I think that's a fair point.
It's a fair opinion.
When you commission an artist
to create a mural,
I think you do it
with the knowledge
of knowing what the artist's work is like.
And I guess sometimes it can leave people a bit cold. find a lot of this is slightly different point but i find a lot of modern art quite leaves me quite cold for some reason i don't know i don't
really know why i know it's quite a broad thing to say um what what what the problem is for the
artist from the artist's point of view probably going to be the most difficult
commission he's ever going to get or he or she's ever going to get i don't know who the artist is
in that case but he or she is never going to get a more challenging brief than that really are they
no so they've got to they're not going to please everyone of course they're probably limited to the
colors they can use the austere nature of what they're going to have to do it's very austere
i think i think that's but in many ways that's kind of the point isn't it but if you came down from uh an alien world and
sort of looked at that one what does this represent what does this say what does this
what does this say about what uh a system perpetrated what a man perpetrated i think
no i'm not an art critic but i suppose it does portray the coldness of it and the almost
impersonal nature of the indiscriminate way people were killed
and all that kind of thing,
I suppose they would argue.
I don't know.
I'm not an artist.
I'm not an art critic.
I'm not an expert in that field,
but I do take your point.
I'm going to raise the humour, Pete.
Humour!
It's a very dark start to the week
and we should leave these types of shows
for Thursday normally.
It's already National Sickie Day
because people are already so depressed
about the year.
They're sick in their droves.
No one can work.
Everyone's at home.
Duvet over their head.
I've got some news for you.
Listeners.
Kieran judge.
No,
I haven't.
Kieran judge is alive and well.
Yay.
Kieran judge.
He,
uh,
if you haven't heard this story,
go back and listen to it.
It's about four or five episodes ago.
Kieran judge says,
I just wanted to thank you for reading
out my email regarding my cash-related dilemma
involving Mr. Whippy, and I can confirm that I'm alive
and well. Pete Donaldson was supposed to block
his name out and didn't do so. Sorry, mate.
He's okay, though.
He says, as an
aside, I would like to say thank you to Luke. I reached
out to him a few years ago, as I am
a Ramble listener, for some pointers on how
to get started in blogging and podcastinging and he very kindly took the time to reply and offer encouragement
and advice see i'm not a terrible person all the time despite what some people may say he says i
write for a couple of blogs without much success um but it's something i really enjoy i'm really
pleased for all of you that your various shows are doing so well and long may it continue i just
wanted to mail in gratitude in case i end up swimming with the fishes following my not so
anonymous email um all the best i want to go really yeah murdered by the uh poor administrative continue. I just wanted to mail in gratitude in case I end up swimming with the fishes following my not-so-anonymous email.
That's how we all want to go, really.
Murdered by the poor administrative nous of a
podcaster. And I want to update my announcement
just to Kieran Judge is alive and well
at time of recording.
I mean, by the time this comes out, it's
an hour before recording and out, so
we don't really know.
He's probably looking over his shoulder every five minutes,
but that's the new life he's got to live now.
Exactly.
He's not the guy who wrote that book Gamora.
He's got to move house every ten days.
It's good to have the heart pumping and the blood pumping around your body
because you're just constantly, your adrenal gland is going.
Hello to Kaisa.
Hello, Kaisa.
I think Kaisa's name is spelled slightly differently,
but I think Kaisa has helped us
by changing her name
to something different
well she can't take chances
with you on the edit buttons
could she
hi guys
following on from
your extensive discussion
about cruisers
I just wanted to let you know
my mother-in-law
has a friend
who at the ripe old age of 75
has decided to taste life
on open waters
for the first time
in her long and sheltered life.
She's never before been on
a cruise, nor has she undertaken any
sort of extended or adventurous kind of
travels. And now she's decided
for some baffling reason to go
on a four-month cruise with her husband.
Four months. 120
days. Suck on that. Whoa, that
is a long time. That is a
long time. she's gone from
0 to 60 in very little
time there hasn't she
she's cutting all the
middlemen that's like
she started a band
playing Wembley
Stadium I'll be
blooming astonished if
she doesn't offer
herself to Neptune
before the season
my grandad's actually
going on a cruise on
his own in March
he's 87 nice yeah
he's looking forward
to it I think that'll
be fun um what about
this front arm Matt
who says hi Luke and Pete,
driving on the school run
this morning,
the radio was playing
Alanis Brosset's
One Hand In My Pocket.
And I had a panic
as it reached the
I'm weak but I'm chicken
shit line.
Don't judge me for knowing that.
Literally everyone my age
only listened to
Jagged Little Pill
for a whole year
in the 90s.
You had enough!
It's a great record
in my opinion.
Will she go down
in your theatre, Luke? Peter! What? That's one of the lyrics. I didn't know it's a great record in my opinion would she go down and you in a theatre Luke
Peter
what
that's one of the lyrics
I know it is
from you ought to know
don't put that on me
would she go down
and you in a theatre
I never know whether
it's a good thing
or a bad thing
do you want that
or do you not want that
she doesn't make it clear
she doesn't make it clear
which is a good thing
by the way she should have said
who doesn't want to enjoy
great art
well that's going on
I
speaking of Alanis
and you can get back
the email
because you've stopped
the show
so you're not going to
be continuing
so I'll stop
because you're in one
I'm letting you get on with it
I last week
during my radio show
11 o'clock every night
we play three tracks
in the 90s
the absolute radio 90s
and I
popped downstairs
to make myself
a cup of tea
green ginger
no caffeine
and I put my hand in the...
Yeah.
Oh, no, I was making rye veeta as well,
and so I needed a knife to spread the butter on,
and I put my hand in the drawer,
and I pulled out three spoons, one after the other.
Oh, alarmist.
So 90s.
If you carried on, it would have got to 10,000.
Who put spoons in the knife drawer?
And all you needed was a knife.
Idiot.
It clearly says knives on the drawer, so grob.
But you're still alive, Kieran Judge.
And anyway, back to Matt.
He says, by the way, that was a very worthy digression.
I enjoyed it.
I'm sorry.
However, I was pleasantly surprised and amused to hear that the line had been dubbed as chicken
shizzle.
Oh.
Or something like that.
It got me thinking of other awesome sweariness being dubbed, including Samuel L. Jackson once exclaiming,
I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes
on this Monday to Friday plane.
Monkey-farting snakes.
Monkey-fighting snakes.
Oh, fighting snakes.
Although this seems a very random topic,
I couldn't help but think this would be right in your wheelhouse,
especially Pete being a very sweary little man himself.
Uh, fuck off.
Maybe Pete could take some tips
to not offend the one dissenting listener
who is definitely
still listening by the way
fuck off you can't
anyway
love the work you both do
my current favourite podcast
is Wrestle Me though
and I don't listen to
On The Continent
so make of that what you will
thanks Matt
you let yourself down
at the end there
just want some army
so the one I can think of
is in the film Aliens
where Sigourney Weaver's
character Ripley
is with a load of
marine
marines US marines space mar with a load of marine marines
US marines
space marines
a load of marine animals
yeah
he's with like
a couple of seals
a blue whale
and they're like
how's the blue whale
going to fight off
these aliens
he hasn't even got any
grip for the weapons
and also
above water
he collapsed
under his own body weight
it just doesn't seem
that practical
is that true
he needs the buoyancy
if they lived on a...
Yeah, if an animal that size exists outside the water,
it'll collapse.
Imagine how much ambergris they'd...
I just want some ambergris, Luke.
Imagine what?
I want some ambergris.
What is that?
It comes out of a well, doesn't it?
Oh, does it?
You may have to have him out of it.
So in Aliens, the Space Marines,
they are with Ripley and one of them sort of...
Believe it or not.
Yeah, one of them sort of ponders
about why Ripley's actually there
and she's like
have you seen this
have you seen this museum
it's amazing
it's like the
world's tallest man in it
no and she says
oh she's seen an alien
and that's why she's there
for experience
so one of the marines
says oh apparently
she saw an alien once
and the line is
whoopee fucking do
right
but on the ITV dub
back in the day
I remember this
like it was yesterday,
it was dubbed to
whoopie for her.
Whoopie for her.
Yeah.
Is that like Nathan for you?
Whoopie for her.
So there's one to get you started.
Hello at lucanpeach.com
if you want to chip in with your own.
Whoopie for her is definitely one.
I can't think of one
off the top of my head,
but it's like
Kimo Sabe,
Mother Funster or something.
Oh yeah,
it's the yippee-ki-yay
Kimo Sabe. Kimo Sabe. Yeah. I wonder what Kimo Sabe means. Funster or something. Oh, yeah. It's the Yippee-Ki-Yay Kimo Sabe.
I wonder what Kimo Sabe means.
There you go.
What have we got here?
Hello to...
Oh, yes, Kieran Smith.
Hello, Kieran Smith.
Do we...
Kieran Smith is the one I mugged off?
No.
Is everyone who listens to this show called Kieran?
I think possibly.
Kieran Smith.
Kieran Judge is the man that's on death row.
Okay.
Because of your actions.
Whose life is a ticking time bomb.
Yeah.
Hello, Kieran Smith.
Hi, Logan Pete.
Hi, gents.
Two highs.
I was really happy to hear you
talk about foot fetishes recently
because I finally have something
to contribute.
Oh, Kieran, you've come back.
Here we go.
My best friend's ex-girlfriend
was a lovely girl.
She occasionally came out
with some very funny moments.
Once.
Best friend's best girlfriend's
funniest moments
on ITV
yeah
presented by
who would it be presented by
it would be presented by
you would audition for the gig
not get it
get the voice over
who would actually do it
who's the one who does
the catchphrase
new catchphrase
oh what is his name
Stephen
Stephen Mulhern
him he'd do it
my best friend's
best girlfriend
blah blah blah
once the topic moved on to feet
she announced
oh I have a foot fetish I do I have a foot fetish I do.
I got a foot fetish I do.
We all smiled, no judgment here.
Her boyfriend wrinkled his face up and says,
no, you don't.
What are you talking about?
She responded that she did have a foot fetish
because she absolutely hated feet.
She'd gone through her life thinking fetish
meant a hit for something,
and had casually told many people
that she had a foot fetish.
Because there's nothing, because foot fetish is weird hit for something and had casually told many people that she had a foot fetish. Because there's nothing...
Because foot fetish is weird enough to sort of...
No further questions.
I don't want to know more about this.
So you went, oh, I've got a real foot fetish, mate.
My sister hates feet.
Yeah.
If you walk around bare feet in her house
or get your feet anywhere near her,
she goes mad about it.
She hates it.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
I mean, yeah.
It's very disrespectful, isn't it?
Is it?
What?
I would not get into
this take your shoes
off type business again.
It's very disrespectful
of you to wear
your muddy shoes
in my house,
but you still do it.
Not muddy.
I always use the map
correctly.
Why put them out there?
We're not getting into it.
It's fine.
I remember being on
a Eurostar
and my little Al
was asleep.
He said he hated me, but I've always known him as little Al. Have you got another friend called Al who's big? Yeah. I've got a big Al and a little Al was asleep. He's the same height as me,
but I've always known him as little Al.
Have you got another friend called Al who's big?
Yeah, I've got a big Al, little Al.
And I put my foot inside.
He was sort of asleep
and I put my foot in his mouth.
Why would you do that?
Because I wanted to take a picture.
And he woke up
and I've never seen him more annoyed.
He was absolutely furious with me. I'd be annoyed. Oh, he was so angry. I think I might take a him more annoyed. He was absolutely furious with me.
I'd be annoyed.
Oh, he was so angry.
I think I might take a swing at you.
Did he take a swing at you?
No.
Why not?
Back it up, little Al.
I'm not that kind of friend.
Back it up.
He just liked it, really.
He's got a full face.
He got really mad with you, really angry.
And the only thing that punctured the tension
was you noticing the ad in the direction.
A little tentpole at the same time.
There we go.
Disgusting.
We always end this show on inappropriate erections.
And today is no exception.
Thank you very much for being involved,
listening, emailing, tweeting,
at Luke and Pete Show.
