Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:41 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.
Starting point is 00:00:54 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.
Starting point is 00:01:01 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,
Starting point is 00:01:15 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
Starting point is 00:01:30 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
Starting point is 00:01:41 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.
Starting point is 00:01:58 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
Starting point is 00:02:08 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
Starting point is 00:02:15 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
Starting point is 00:02:23 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
Starting point is 00:02:30 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.
Starting point is 00:02:38 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
Starting point is 00:02:48 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
Starting point is 00:02:55 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
Starting point is 00:03:02 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...
Starting point is 00:03:11 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
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:31 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.
Starting point is 00:03:52 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.
Starting point is 00:04:12 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.
Starting point is 00:04:28 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,
Starting point is 00:04:45 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.
Starting point is 00:04:58 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.
Starting point is 00:05:14 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
Starting point is 00:05:26 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
Starting point is 00:05:32 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
Starting point is 00:05:39 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
Starting point is 00:05:46 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
Starting point is 00:05:53 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
Starting point is 00:06:02 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.
Starting point is 00:06:15 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
Starting point is 00:06:25 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
Starting point is 00:06:31 a psychologist escaped a fine and won an appeal after driving through a bus gate and the way she successfully argued it
Starting point is 00:06:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:56 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,
Starting point is 00:07:09 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,
Starting point is 00:07:20 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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
Starting point is 00:07:47 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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?
Starting point is 00:08:14 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
Starting point is 00:08:27 in 16 1916 that would probably work out did you know that he's also older than a star of
Starting point is 00:08:34 the Christmas film Home Alone Macaulay Culkin I was like oh my nan's older than that she's clearly not she's dead
Starting point is 00:08:40 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.
Starting point is 00:08:46 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,
Starting point is 00:08:50 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,
Starting point is 00:09:00 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
Starting point is 00:09:22 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.
Starting point is 00:09:44 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?
Starting point is 00:09:53 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?
Starting point is 00:10:07 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?
Starting point is 00:10:20 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.
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:45 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
Starting point is 00:10:53 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
Starting point is 00:11:01 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
Starting point is 00:11:07 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
Starting point is 00:11:14 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
Starting point is 00:11:21 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,
Starting point is 00:11:29 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...
Starting point is 00:11:37 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
Starting point is 00:11:46 US an elevator happy birthday to Jennifer Anderson she's 50 today oh she's in
Starting point is 00:11:51 a program called puddings which I've not watched she was all over the newspapers
Starting point is 00:11:54 this morning because of her 50th birthday party inviting all sorts of celebrities half expect
Starting point is 00:12:00 to see Donaldson what do you mean popping up saying what you're saying alright
Starting point is 00:12:04 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
Starting point is 00:12:12 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
Starting point is 00:12:18 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
Starting point is 00:12:27 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
Starting point is 00:12:34 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
Starting point is 00:12:40 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,
Starting point is 00:12:49 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?
Starting point is 00:13:00 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.
Starting point is 00:13:32 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.
Starting point is 00:13:46 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
Starting point is 00:14:10 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?
Starting point is 00:14:34 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?
Starting point is 00:14:47 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.
Starting point is 00:15:03 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.
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:25 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.
Starting point is 00:15:34 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
Starting point is 00:15:41 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
Starting point is 00:15:47 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
Starting point is 00:15:52 I've got two horse emails I'm going to do okay two horse emails yeah after Thursday oh no what do you think
Starting point is 00:15:59 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.
Starting point is 00:16:10 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
Starting point is 00:16:26 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
Starting point is 00:16:37 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?
Starting point is 00:16:46 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.
Starting point is 00:17:00 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
Starting point is 00:17:13 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
Starting point is 00:17:19 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...
Starting point is 00:17:27 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
Starting point is 00:17:38 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,
Starting point is 00:17:47 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
Starting point is 00:17:55 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
Starting point is 00:18:02 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.
Starting point is 00:18:13 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
Starting point is 00:18:25 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
Starting point is 00:18:33 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
Starting point is 00:18:41 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.
Starting point is 00:18:53 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.
Starting point is 00:19:07 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.
Starting point is 00:19:19 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
Starting point is 00:19:30 equine variety that he contracted during the throes of passion with some poor sick horse no I just said they're cold
Starting point is 00:19:34 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
Starting point is 00:19:39 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.
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:00 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
Starting point is 00:20:10 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
Starting point is 00:20:19 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
Starting point is 00:20:26 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,
Starting point is 00:20:37 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
Starting point is 00:20:44 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
Starting point is 00:20:52 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
Starting point is 00:21:01 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
Starting point is 00:21:10 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?
Starting point is 00:21:18 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.
Starting point is 00:21:25 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.
Starting point is 00:21:45 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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,
Starting point is 00:22:12 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,
Starting point is 00:22:25 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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
Starting point is 00:22:52 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
Starting point is 00:22:59 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,
Starting point is 00:23:14 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...
Starting point is 00:23:29 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.
Starting point is 00:23:41 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,
Starting point is 00:23:48 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.
Starting point is 00:23:55 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?
Starting point is 00:24:02 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
Starting point is 00:24:10 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
Starting point is 00:24:16 swear words being dubbed as per episode 139 the die hard dub that US audiences got was Pete do you want to
Starting point is 00:24:24 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.
Starting point is 00:24:34 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?
Starting point is 00:24:49 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
Starting point is 00:25:01 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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
Starting point is 00:25:31 in the Alps I mean this big Lebowski set in the midwest didn't it in a bowling alley yeah I think yeah
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:25:45 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.
Starting point is 00:25:55 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.
Starting point is 00:26:22 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.
Starting point is 00:26:36 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.
Starting point is 00:26:47 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
