Ah, last time it was a horse-based disgrace.
Welcome to the Farmyard Animal Pig Special, Episode 141 of the Luke and Pete Show.
An animal farm VHS found in Daddy's collection.
Animal Farm by the Kinks, one of my favourite Kinks songs.
Those two things are not related.
What does it go like?
It goes, on animal farm, my animal home.
On animal farm, my animal home.
That sounds dreadful.
I've done it a...
Hang your head, the Kinks.
I've done it a disservice. I think we kinks. I've done it a disservice.
I think we did a lot of things a disservice last week.
The first few notes there were way off.
Animal farm.
Yours is an anaphylpharm as well.
Yeah.
Like anaphylactic shock.
Yeah, that's...
Well, if you're allergic to pharma animals,
perhaps that will be in your future.
Yeah, maybe.
Hope not.
Hope not.
Can horses go into anaphylactic shock?
Any veterinarians who are still listening after last week,
please get in touch.
This is the thing.
And of course,
not at all surprising to people listening at home,
we've received a bucket load of horse-related emails.
It's kind of how this show tends to work,
but we'll get through some of them later, I'm sure.
You're right to ask that question, Pete Donaldson,
and I'll tell you why.
Because as soon as I establish via you
that horses can't vomit
and they have this issue
with their tum tums
I'm thinking straight away
what other things
can't they do?
What other sort of
evolutionary things
have happened to them
and indeed any other animal?
Any other animal?
As we mentioned before
people saying dogs
can't look up
and all that kind of stuff.
Didn't I introduce you
to the phenomena that is the old ambergris as well this last week?
Remind me again?
It's the stuff that you find in whale's guts that they make perfume out of.
I don't think you mentioned it, mate.
I'm obsessed.
I definitely did.
I don't think you mentioned it.
But yeah, so what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
So it's Monday.
Do not despair, despite my horrendous singing. The week's not going to do what are you going to do so it's Monday do not despair despite my horrendous singing
you know
the week's not going to be that bad
at least you can vomit
if you need to
exactly
we've always got that option
Monday, Tuesday
happy days
we can all vomit
any of those days
we can
I do a lot of my
my vest vomiting
on a Friday or Saturday
yeah I can imagine
that's absolutely true
did you do some vomiting
this weekend
I did not no
no good
I stayed in on Saturday and watched four episodes of True Detective and ate a lot of crisps or a Saturday. Yeah, I can imagine that's absolutely true. Did you do some vomiting this weekend? I did not, no. No, good.
I stayed in on Saturday and watched four episodes
of True Detective
and ate a lot of crisps,
which would usually
lead me to vomit.
I'm on episode four
of season three
of True Detective.
It's brilliant.
It is very good.
Very good.
A return to form.
Very, very well acted.
Very atmospheric.
And also,
I quite like the fact
that you can figure out
what timeline we're in
due to the haircuts
that's almost the only way
yeah
that's how I do it
yeah that's how I do it
that's how I do it
well one of them's very obvious
because he's an old man
you say it's a return to form
after season two
and I agree with you
might
but I haven't even
looked at season two
because it got Vince Vaughn
in it
you'd completely
I ain't going
I'm not having Vince Vaughn
in this serious role
I'm just not having itughn in this serious role.
I'm just not having it.
He was in... Wasn't that how he made his name?
Swingers or Slickers
or whatever the hell it was called.
I respect his...
I liked him in Starskin Hutch.
Cojones.
To get in there
and say I want to do a serious role.
No problem with that.
It's very similar to when...
Well, there's less money involved.
It's very similar to when
you and I decided
we wanted to make a show
that wasn't about football anymore.
People could just say
I'm not having those two and it's not football. And that's fair enough. I don't similar to when you and I decided we wanted to make a show that wasn't about football anymore. People could just say, I'm not having a nose to it, it's not
football. And that's fair enough. I don't
want to be like that, but on the other
hand, I'm not having Vince Vaughn in that.
If they listen to us being authorities on
football, you particularly, because I'm
no authority on football and you're somewhat of an
authority on football, I think they'll trust us with anything.
Yeah, I think that's probably right. Come
along, you'll enjoy it. Come along for the ride, you'll enjoy it.
Vince Vaughn's last film that I watched and interviewed him for
was something, Fight on Cell Block 99 or some bollocks like that.
And it was one of the worst films I've seen in a long time.
He was, they kept on sort of saying that he's got muscles.
I think I mentioned it on the show, in fact.
He was like, hey, will you be a boxer or something?
And he goes, no.
And he goes, well, how do you get those muscles?
He doesn't have those muscles.
He clearly, as part of the role, should have worked out.
But he didn't.
He just went, I'll make do.
Nice chap, though?
He was a nice chap.
Have I done him a disservice?
But he had a little joke that he, I think I said personal brand at one point.
And he would not stop talking.
He would not stop saying personal brand.
I'm working on my personal brand.
He would not stop saying personal brand and doing little jokes and stuff.
And by the end, it was actually quite excruciating.
So you didn't like him because he was taking the piss out of you?
He wasn't taking the piss out of me.
He was trying to do a bit, and he just wasn't really getting there for me,
to be quite frank.
Hey, Luke, I'm off to Taiwan in a couple of weeks' time,
so I'm trying to learn a couple of Mandarin words
because I find Mandarin incredibly difficult because it's all tonal.
But I want to show you how I'm doing it.
Okay.
How do you say it?
Monomics.
Mnemonics.
Mnemonics, yeah.
Johnny Mnemonic.
Say again?
Johnny Mnemonic, yeah.
So look at how I am learning.
So I'd like is Wo Shang Yao.
And I've got a picture of Joy from Blossom.
Remember Joy from Blossom?
I do, yeah.
What was his catchphrase?
I can't remember.
It was wo.
Wo.
He's got wo like that.
Wo Shang Yao.
And then I've got the bill is Mai Dan.
That's Iron Maiden Iron Maiden
Bruce Digginson
yeah
and you can't really say it
but basically
Eddie's holding
instead of a flag
with the British flag
all torn up
he's holding the bill
he's holding the bill
so that's how I've
sort of noticed
sorry
Dubocci
which sounds a little bit
like double chin
does it though
does a little bit
so that's how I
are you going to use
any of these
Ying Yu English
so I've got the
Ying Yang sign
but you know
I want you
are you going to use
any of these?
well it's helped me
remember things
I'm just saying
if anyone's trying to
learn a language
or anything really
mnemonics are really good
I've never visited
that part of the world
so excuse me
if this is a naive question
but how many
what's the percentage
of people who can
speak any sort of English?
Well, quite a lot.
How is it?
There's more English speakers than in, say, Japan.
Japanese have quite a low level of English.
But not in Europe.
Sorry?
Surely not when compared to Europe.
I mean, Europe,
there'll be a much higher prevalence.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about in the US?
What do you mean?
Do you know what's been flying in my boat this week
and I saw this
and I thought
straight away
I'm going to have to bring this
to the Luke and Pete show
or laps
as I sometimes call it
for shorthand
a psychologist
escaped a fine
and won an appeal
after driving through
a bus gate
and the way she
successfully
argued it
is because she said
there are actually
literally too many signs
on the road for the human brain
to process at the same time.
Oh, that's interesting.
She escaped the fine.
Well, yeah.
Essex County Council have apparently taken
£1.5 million in 18
months because 54,000 drivers are
fined using the channels for Busgate.
And Dr King, who she apparently 18 months because 54,000 drivers are fined using the channels for bus gate. Right. Um,
and Dr.
Dr.
King,
who she apparently published several,
several academic papers on how people process visual information. They picked the wrong driver.
The fuck said the bus gate.
Um,
uh,
it was endangering lives because,
um,
once you've committed to turn left,
you have no way of safely turning around all the rest of it.
And,
um,
she said people panic and said to consciously process all the rest of it. And she said people panic
and said to consciously process all the information,
it would take a few seconds
and by that point at the speed you're travelling,
you've already gone 20 feet down the road.
So it's almost impossible to not do it.
I just love that.
I just love the idea that they've set up
a sweet little stealth tax.
Get a new rule book, she said.
I don't want to get all Jeremy Clarkson about it,
but it's a sweet little stealth tax
that the county council have set up
and they know they do that kind of stuff.
And at that point, they fuck with the wrong person.
She's literally published academic papers proving stuff.
And it looks like now it might be,
the whole road thing might be changed
and they might not be able to do it anymore.
Good news for consumers, please.
Great news for consumers.
More news as we get it.
It's back to you, Adrian.
Good news for consumers, please. Great news for consumers.
More news as we get it.
It's back to you, Adrian.
Who is the dad of Michael Douglas?
It's Kirk Douglas.
Did you know that he is older than sliced bread?
Pete's trivia fact.
What a truth bomb.
I know he's 102.
Yeah.
When did sliced bread come in?
He's probably older than a lot of stuff, to be fair.
Sliced bread, I I think came in in 1926
and he was born
in
16
1916
that would probably
work out
did you know that
he's also older
than a star of
the Christmas film
Home Alone
Macaulay Culkin
I was like
oh my nan's older
than that
she's clearly not
she's dead
so I was saying
because she was born
in 1908
I was like
she's not
she's not alive I know yeah she met at 96 pretty dead. So I was saying, cause she's born in 1908. I was like, I mean, she's not, I mean,
she's not alive.
I know.
Yeah.
She met at 96.
Pretty good.
It's good.
Very good innings.
I was reading about,
um,
I would like to get the email,
but I can,
why fine here is dreadful.
Um,
basically I've been reading about,
uh,
slash watching a video about,
uh,
a really expensive,
um,
hot dog stands in New York.
Okay. Apparently, right. Some New York. Okay.
Apparently, right, some New York, you've got to pay a tax,
you've got to pay for a license to sell hot dogs in New York,
basically, you know, dispense food poisoning for hot dogs.
Hot dogs!
And, yeah, there are certain spots that are like a couple of grand a year
for that license.
Oh, right.
In less busy places, but they sort of go up in how busy the places are.
So if you want to sell hot dogs in Times Square, you're paying a pretty penny.
I'll tell you what, the most expensive one.
Guess how much the most expensive, I'll tell you where it is,
the most expensive licence for hot dog salesman is for a year.
And it's outside the zoo in Central Park.
Okay.
And you said some of the quiet ones are a couple of thousand a year?
Okay.
50 grand?
Nope.
100 grand?
Nope.
It's more than that?
Yep.
Oh my God.
It's into something like 236,000 grand.
Thousand grand!
Thousand grand.
2,000 pounds a year, which is incredible, isn't it?
They make so much money. Say it's 200,000 a year, which is incredible, isn't it? They make so much money.
Say it's £200,000, right?
And say you're selling a hot dog for £10, right?
£10?
Would you buy a hot dog for £10?
I'm just saying it's going to be expensive.
Some street meat for £10?
You're going to have to sell 20,000 a year.
You're selling for about £4,000 or £6,000.
Food in America is quite cheap, isn't it?
Okay, so say it's £200,000, right?
We're going to do the maths because that's what it's all about on this show.
Let's say it's £ bucks to make it easier.
Yeah.
All right.
So you are going to have to sell 40,000 hot dogs a year
to break even.
That's just a break even.
So just so you know,
presumably you work every single day of the year
and it's not a leap year.
You have to sell 109 hot dogs a day
just to get your head above water.
Would you not do that?
Apparently you sell
apparently
if you're out there
for 12 hours
that is
there is a reason
why it's expensive
people do it
nine an hour
you would easily sell
nine hot dogs an hour
just because you don't
want one now
I'm thinking bathroom
I always want one
I'm thinking bathroom
breaks here
like frozen sausages
yeah but I think
do you not have
do you not have like
two people working here
or something
I don't know
but either way
it's worth doing
apparently they make
around about half a million
cracking on for half a million
a year these stands
that are in
outside the area
well over and above
that's profit
maybe the tigers are popping up
and going
hot dog please
horses going past
there's loads of horses
at Central Park
isn't there
they all live in weird
converted
I feel sorry for them
houses
it's really weird
they live in these
there's these little kind of apartment buildings
and they're converted.
I don't know what they used to be,
but they've been converted into stables.
And some horses, I think,
live on the first and second and third floor.
It's really weird.
Well, they go up and lift.
At night, yeah.
I don't know how they get up there.
It's because...
Winch, winch them.
Because you know cows can't go down the stairs,
can they?
So maybe, if it's the same as horses,
you're going to have to lift them up there.
You're going to have to use an...
What is it called in the US? An elevator. An elevator, yeah, yeah. Happy birthday to Jennifer Aniston. so maybe if it's the same as horses you're going to have to lift them up there what do they
call it in the
US
an elevator
happy birthday
to Jennifer
Anderson
she's 50
today
oh she's in
a program
called
puddings
which I've
not watched
she was all
over the
newspapers
this morning
because of her
50th birthday
party
inviting all
sorts of
celebrities
half expect
to see
Donaldson
what do you
mean
popping up
saying what
you're saying
alright
you were probably
red carpet in the BAFTAs
last night were you
no
but they did say that
yeah
I don't really understand
the BAFTAs come out of Norway
don't they
the Oscars
the BAFTAs
it's kind of award season
Britain next week as well
oh you'll be doing that
I'll be doing red carpet
on that yeah
you don't do BAFTAs
I don't think you did the films no
no I have no reason
Free Solo won a BAFTA
for climbing
was it for BAFTA best BAFTA For climbing was it for a BAFTA
best BAFTA for climbing
As heard on this show
you can listen to
Care Mode and Mayor
all you want
and I listen to it
myself
I enjoy it
on this show
I said
it'll get an Oscar
and it got nominated
for an Oscar
we'll see if it wins it
and now it's won a BAFTA
which is apparently
a good sign
Well you didn't say
it was going to win a BAFTA
you should have gone
for a BAFTA
Should have gone lower
Should have gone lower
It'll definitely go BAFTA.
It'll win an Oscar nom,
and I'd hope to see it win an Oscar,
but it'll definitely win BAFTA.
That's what I should have done.
I've gone too high.
Do you know those kind of laurels you get
on like arthouse films or any film?
It's like Cannes Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival.
If you've got like a film festival,
are there more film festivals than ever?
Because most films that you kind of see
have those laurels.
Like every last one has these kind of um see have those laurels like every last one has
these kind of little kind of laurel things well there's a really good bit of like um visual
psychology you can do where um you know and so at first glance it will look like it's been selected
for some film festival or it will look like it's got five stars yeah but it's a it's a trick of the
poster and i've also seen it done by motorcyclists who want people to think they're police,
so cars will move out the way for them.
Right.
And they wear high...
A lot of motorbike riders...
Now you know what I'm about to tell you.
Look out for it.
You'll see it.
They wear high-vis jackets on the back.
In the police font, it says polite.
Really?
Yes.
And underneath it says, notice, please move out the way.
So when you just look across, when you're a motorist and you look across.
You think it's a policeman.
Because you can't see, you don't spend the life on looking.
I have never seen someone wearing a yellow jacket tabard of either the left or the right wing uh riding riding with that that's incredible
i mean you're doubting that it exists i'm not doubting that it exists i'm telling you look out
for it i enjoy in america those uh those big motorbikes that have big speakers on them
they're like big old fat motorbikes i don't know what they're called they must be like
i guess it's like the equivalent of like the low rider or something that looks a bit cool
but there are these massive motorbikes that are almost cars.
And there's no advantage riding those
because you can't really nip in between cars.
It's called a Honda Goldwing, isn't it?
Is it a Honda Goldwing?
I think so, yeah.
They always have big speakers.
It looks amazing.
It looks like the sort of thing that...
It just looks so unmanoeuvrable.
Doc Brown would ride in Back to the Future 4 if that existed.
Yeah, amazing.
Have you got any hives at home?
Have I got any hives at home?
You must have.
No, no, I've never been gifted the fire marshal.
People listening will think of your flat
as the way I've described it,
but they'll also imagine traffic cones in there
and signs you've stolen for being outside
and that kind of thing.
I'm not a student, although I do live late.
That's exactly my point.
Listen,
after the break,
we're going to do
the email section,
the often lauded email section.
Yes.
If you want to get in touch with it
for a future episode,
it's of course
hello at lukeandpeatshow.com
and we'll be back
just a few seconds
after this.
How to make a long egg.
You used that one on Thursday,
Donaldson.
I'll use it again.
Long eggs.
Keith Cook is very much
part of the ecosystem
when it comes to laps.
The vernacular.
Laps is a little bit
too close to laps,
which is live action role playing.
Nothing wrong with that.
Lightning bolt.
Lightning bolt.
Lightning bolt.
I wish I could just do that
and be like,
lightning bolt.
Oh shit,
he's done a lightning bolt on me.
So are you suggesting
because you've not got
very good internet access
you can't do the emails
do you want me to do the emails
you're going to have to do
some emails
I'll do them
and you react to them
okay
whoa
shit
I've got two horse emails
I'm going to do
okay
two horse emails
yeah
after Thursday
oh no
what do you think
a horse email is
I've sent you a horse video
you will refuse to watch it
or maybe you did
you were disgusted by it that cyst the draining of a horse cyst. You will refuse to watch it. Or maybe you did. You were disgusted by it.
That cyst.
The draining of a horse cyst.
I'm not looking at that stuff.
It was about the size of...
God, I'm trying to think what size it was.
It was like a saddlebag, but it was a cyst.
And they were draining it.
And as you can imagine, horses are massive.
And so if you've got a cyst that's about the size of,
I don't know, like a car wheel on the back of a horse's bum bum,
this guy was just draining the cyst. This guy was just dreading this cyst
and it was just endless,
endless yellow juice.
What about that?
It was like eggnog.
Oh God,
that is disgusting.
That's how you make eggnog.
What about that story I sent you
about those amateur cyclists
and their drug taking?
Oh yes,
the...
For those listening at home
who are interested in cycling.
And they said Bell's Palsy.
That's not at all, is it?
The Pop Belge?
Yeah, I saw an article about Pop Belge.
And essentially, as everyone probably knows,
there's always been a sort of, you know,
slightly shady relationship between cycling
and drug taking, as everyone understands.
But on the amateur circuit,
it's just a lot more like the Wild West.
There's a lot less testing.
It's a lot less, you know, scientific.
And for years and years.
And the reason I know about this is because of a guy called Tom Wally, who does a lot less testing there's a lot less you know scientific and for years and years and the reason I know about this is because
of a guy called Tom Wally
who does a lot of podcasting
he's going to be involved
in the second series
about the match
of Andy Brassel
and we've been chatting
quite a lot
he's going to be
filling Andy Brassel
with drugs
so he can do more work
he can do more work
he's a
I'd love to see Brassel
off his nut
he's usually so relaxed
and calm.
It would be fascinating.
Tom is a...
It just wouldn't work!
Stop doing in-jokes.
Everyone who's listening
has not met Andy Brassel.
I mean,
who knows,
if you just listen to a little bit,
you probably don't know
who Andy Brassel is,
but he does a couple of shows
for the Register Card on Network,
and I had one impression of him
which doesn't really work.
No, yeah, exactly.
It's just him looking up
and going,
it just wouldn't work.
Yeah.
Because he's just very relaxed.
I could listen to Andy Bruttle
read the phone book.
He has a wonderful,
relaxed manner about him.
He's also one of the nicest men
in the world.
Yeah.
Anyway.
How does he get away with that shit?
I'm not talking about him.
I'm talking about Tom Wally
and Tom's actually
a semi-pro cyclist
and he was telling me
about Pot Bells
which is basically
a load of heroin,
cocaine, caffeine and amphetamines
all mixed together.
It sounds amazing.
Drop it and get on your bike.
Get on your bike where you can still find it.
Just start pedalling.
It seemed like from the piece
you sent me to read about,
read about.
I'll share it on the Twitter.
It's just kind of fascinating
that it seemed
that a lot of cyclists
had taken it to be
better at cycling
and then it just seemed
they ended up cycling
just to be able to take drugs
they'd just become junkies
because they just love
that pop belch
exactly
but they'd inject it
into their legs
and it would make
a little sort of bubble
and it was like
a time release
kind of bubble
for the drug to be
you know
to go into their veins
it sounds disgusting but it also sounds a little bit like a pate.
Yeah, it does a bit.
Bit of potbelly, don't know, cracker.
You could probably dip some toast in it.
Anyway, this is the email section.
Hello at Luke and Peter.
Hello at emails.com.
And this one's from Luke Cunningham.
He says, hi guys.
Really enjoyed the chaotic and relaxed nature of your podcast.
Can something be chaotic and relaxed?
If you're on pop bell, sure you can.
It's a particularly last week's equine themed show.
As you were probably made aware after your show,
coincidentally, there is currently an outbreak of equine flu in Britain
among some of the top racehorses.
I was aware of that.
Achoo.
Very sad.
I hope they feel better soon.
What's even more curious, however,
is that during your show,
in which Pete made countless references to
horse sex acts
Luke sounds like
he's dying with
some sort of flu
a virus of the
equine variety
that he contracted
during the throes
of passion
with some poor
sick horse
no I just said
they're cold
I said that at the
top of the show
to be fair
he said we'd love
if you could clear
this up on the show
and there you go
I have done
I don't think
it's equine related
I feel much better
today
but obviously
I can't be sure
I told you a
friend's dad once caught a man having sex with his horse.
There you go.
That's Hartlepool for you.
Yeah, I think you might have mentioned that.
I was just petting it.
No, you weren't.
The thing that upsets me is I'm not surprised when you say that to me now.
I'm just like, oh yeah, did that happen or not?
I can't remember.
I've lost all perspective.
When I get into this room with you I lose all perspective
Luke also finishes
with a PS
by saying
I am the brother
of the crazed
Damien Cunningham
who emailed the football ramble
suggesting a team
that won the FA Cup
should get 10 points
to their league campaign
and it filled Luke
with rage
Damien also messaged me
on Instagram
slagging me off
because he was upset
with his treatment
I think you treated him
shoddily
but Luke says,
Damien eats shredded wheat
with no milk or bowl,
just a glass of water
on the side for dipping.
Judge the man on that basis.
Hang on,
hang on,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
So he takes individual shreddies,
shredded wheat,
the big one,
oh, shredded wheat,
and dips them in water.
That's joyless.
That's Brexit, isn't it?
I don't think it is Brexit.
That's what we'll be doing
after Brexit
and buy shredded meat
shredded meat
shredded meat
it'll be shredded meat
pulled pork
buy shredded wheat
I mean it'll be grass
that you've pulled
from the
desiccated lawn
outside the front
of your house
so there we go
that's from Luke
brother of Damien
who is a
frequenter of this parish
and of course
we mean no ill will
towards him
even if he does have
some pretty funky ideas
what about this one
from Mark
in Newmarket
he says
hi guys
I thought I'd email in
to tell you about the time
I was bitten by a horse
was this at Newmarket?
no
isn't there a racing
I don't know what you call them
a wheel?
track?
Mark said
a wheel
a racing wheel Mark says I work in breeding resources and, a wheel? Track? Mark said, a wheel.
A racing wheel.
Mark says, I work in breeding horses and I went to do some work with stallions in Australia.
So it wasn't in Newmarket.
Wow.
I mean, that's presumably why he's in Newmarket now, though.
I said, for those of you who can't remember on Thursday, I said that my friend Jimmy was bitten by a horse.
It was savage.
Very, very, very, very serious.
Anyway, Mark picks up the story by saying, one day I was leading a stallion in from the paddock where there was a horse box driver
trying to catch his mare in a muddy paddock next door.
I quickly saw that he only had one leg
and his prosthetic leg had got stuck in the mud.
Serious.
Serious problem.
I shouted over to him that I would come and help him out,
but I had to put the stallion in the box first.
So they're both working on their horses,
their respective horses.
You know, of course,
Mark isn't going to give up on his horse
to help the second guy.
He's got to do his job first.
Before I had finished this sentence, however,
the stallion had reached over my shoulder,
sunk his teeth into my stomach,
and threw me into the air.
I held on to the lead
and managed to get up and put the horse in the stable.
I then crumbled to my knees
before being rushed to hospital.
After what I thought had been
a lot of pointless fussing and scans,
it turned out I had been quite lucky,
and the bite had been merely millimetres away from rupturing my liver.
Yeah, I mean...
And he's attached a picture.
Oh, let's have a look.
I can't show it because we haven't got bloody internet.
I'll get it on the Twitter and I'll show you later.
I've seen it.
It is savage.
Is it like when Cher Given got his stomach burst by
I think Dion Dublin
yeah vaguely similar
if it were a
mumblecore rapper
right
it would be 21 Savage
it was Savage
yeah I can imagine that
Mark says
big fan of the show
but I can also confirm
horses can't be sick
and they do die
if they get colic
and don't get surgery in time
and they also have
massive penises
we knew the second one there
but there we go
so Pete more grist to your horses can't vomit mill well and don't get surgery in time, and they also have massive penises. We knew the second one there, but there we go.
So, Pete, more grist to your horses can't vomit mill.
Well, I mean, to be honest,
I mean, yeah, I guess if you are a horse trainer or a horse guy who deals with stallions,
especially if they're a bit bitey,
maybe it makes sense to get a bit of fat on you
so it eats the fat rather than bites your liver.
Yeah.
Bite your liver.
It's a bigger target though
because I think you're going to be more...
How'd that man lose his leg?
That's the question.
I'd love to know.
Mark, get back in touch.
If you know how the guy lost his leg,
if that was horse related as well,
we need to start recategorising horses
as far more dangerous than we thought.
Yeah.
Because I'll tell you something now,
Pete Donaldson.
Hippos get all the bad press.
Exactly.
If you walk through a field,
if I put a field in front of you,
so there you go,
walk through that,
and it's got a horse in it,
you'll just do it.
Mate, I'm from the North East,
I'll just knock it right out.
Oh yeah, true, yeah.
Spark it right out.
With a scarf around your face.
If it had a hippo in it,
you wouldn't go near it.
No.
No way.
What sort of fence
is keeping a hippo in anyway?
They are quite heavy,
aren't they?
Yeah.
Electrified ones.
Let's finish with this email here
from Keith Campbell
apologies to everyone
listening who prefers
the Pete side of the
ledger but he's got
no internet so he
can't do any work
I can't do it mate
Keith Campbell
says chipping in
with some hilarious
dubs
this is movie
swear words being
dubbed
as per episode
139
the die hard dub
that US audiences
got was
Pete do you want to
give people the
original line first?
I can only think of the...
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
Yeah.
This was dubbed, apparently, to Yippee-ki-yay, melon farmer.
Melon farmer.
Yeah.
And the big Lebowski has one of the more famous ones
in the scene where Walter goes ape on a Ferrari.
His, this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass,
is changed to,
this is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.
That's from Keith.
At what point,
Pete?
Oh, that's wonderful.
At what point do they start thinking
that they're going to affect
the plot of the movie?
Just fucking bleep it.
Come on.
Yeah, because presumably
that's done in the broadcast studio
at ITV or whatever.
It's done late on.
So it's probably some work experience
who's doing it with a voiceover.
No, you'll have a proper VO.
I mean, films used to be a way more important
to TV channels than they are now,
I think it's fair to say.
Because they're quite expensive films.
But my point is, the weirder the dubs get,
the more chance you've got
of confusing people
with the plot
that's what you get
when you find
if you find a stranger
in the Alps
I mean this big Lebowski
set in the midwest
didn't it
in a bowling alley
yeah
I think
yeah
I think we all know
what's gone on there
if you're watching that film
dreadful
yeah
I think
it's creative
at the very least.
It is creative.
They've done well.
Look, let's get out of here, Peter.
We're back on Thursday with some more.
Pete will get his shit together, we hope.
I beg your pardon.
Well, the thing is, it's annoying for the listeners
because you've had a creative high point on Thursday.
They've all loved it.
Did you see the chimpanzees escaping from,
is it Dublin Zoo or was it?
Largest zoo in the world, isn't it?
Might mean Dublin Zoo. Largest zoo in the world, isn't it? Might mean Dublin Zoo.
It's the largest zoo in the world.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh.
Because it keeps doubling and doubling and doubling.
I should not have fallen for that.
I think it was Dublin Zoo.
I can't remember.
Either way, some chimpanzees escaped from the zoo,
and they were just running around,
and people were just filming them as they were running around.
I'd be scared of a chimp.
I remember reading about a chimp ripping a woman's face off.
Yeah, but I mean...
Don't put your face in the way.
Don't give it a hug.
But it was the same zoo that I think three weeks ago lost a red panda.
Oh, that's terrible.
There's a lack of diligence in this.
And they are not pandas, by the way.
They're not, no.
There needs to be an investigation there.
Can red pandas or chimpanzees vomit?
Find out on Thursday.
Find out on Thursday.
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com.
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com to get in touch.
We'd love to hear from you.
It doesn't have to be horse related,
but it can be if you want.
Again, it's been horse related.
And we'll see you on Thursday
for episode 142.
Have you ever drained a horse's cyst? this was a radio staccato production
