The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 143: A blistering tale

Episode Date: February 18, 2019

Hello everyone, and a very happy Monday! Welcome to this edition of The Luke and Pete Show, which listeners of a nervous disposition should be very wary of. You have been warned...This time around, Pete gets very well acquainted with a fellow passenger on a flight, waxes lyrical about his disdain for John Peel and North Korea (separately), and we hear from a listener about literally the worst holiday of all time. All we'll say is it involves a cruise and 80s rock band Def Leppard.To get in touch and be an accessory to this entirely foul business we call a podcast, it's [e-mail], and we're @lukeandpeteshow on the socials.

Welcome to the Luke and Pete show. Desert Island Discs might well have recently been voted the best radio show ever, but who wants to listen to that bunch of squares? Very BBC heavy out list, wasn't it? The past was yours, Radio 4, but who wants to listen to that bunch of squares? Very BBC heavy, that list, wasn't it? The past was yours, Radio 4, but the future's ours. Was it really BBC heavy, or what an amazing surprise? It was 80% BBC.

Well, listen, we're tackling the big issues that listeners want to hear about. Woodlice, batteries, men marrying cockroaches, mystery deaths and illnesses. Yeah, put us on the list. Being awkward due to Britishness, and how good we'd all be in a post-apocalyptic environment. Just an example of some of the things we've talked about by me having a cursory glance over some old running orders.

Get us... We've got a running order. You never send it to me, you shit. No, you don't need it. Get us on that list. Radio Times. God is watching. All right?

Yeah. God is watching. And when you put a man like John Peel on your list who married a child... For God's watching. All right? Yeah. God is watching. And when you put a man like John Peel on your list, who married a child... For God's sake, already. What? We have not done any of those things. No, that is true.

That is true. Yeah. It's almost like they've been nobbled by some sort of PR person. You need content. Oh, it's almost as if the Radio Times writers just, you know, they've got their tastes, haven't they? Shove that out, you pipe BBC. Yeah.

Did you know it was Kim Jong-il's birthday on Saturday, just gone? Oh, I didn't really know that. That was my impression of John Peel. Do another one. Mark, who does Wrestle Me, once did a hilarious comedy skit in which John Peel admits that he has... You know that famous clip of John Peel where he goes, Oh, I appear to have played that song completely at the wrong speed. Yeah. John Peel admits that he has, you know that famous clip of John Peel where he goes,

oh, I appear to have played that song completely at the wrong speed. He did an impression of John Peel saying, I appear to have gone out with a girl completely the wrong age. Pretend to be a Beatle, get a job in Texas. I wish it was that easy back then. I wish it was easy like that easy now. I could go somewhere far afield and go, I am literally the president of England

and they go do you have presidents yeah have you got the internet yet no well shut your mouth then alright give me some money

we'll corroborate that but it's going to take us a couple of weeks to find out so until then we'll give you the benefit of the doubt we'll give you your palace yeah and you can do

whatever you want but is this a John Peel exposure I had no idea you had such strong feelings about John Peel. I just think that... No, it's not a part one, I think. But did you know it was Kim Jong-il's birthday on Saturday? Happy birthday, mate.

In North Korea, they celebrate the former leader's birthday and in the country, it's also known as the Day of the Shining Star. He died in 2011 and ruled from 1997 how many um how many uh situations how many sort of um birthdays do you reckon they celebrate in north korea yeah i mean it's not like there's loads of birthday cake going on is there so oh michael palin did an interesting um interesting ish channel 5 travel documentary recently and I saw Michael Pan on the tube

the other day well he's probably coming back where have you been Michael I've been to North Korea for a very

well stage managed binocular eye view of a despotic regime and it was mildly less traumatic than staying on the machine

if you will staying on the Piccadilly line on the way to Cockfosters that's an interesting point, though, because there were some insights there. It was to a large extent,

as you've explained it there, but there was more to it than you'd expect. I mean, he did get to go to some places and speak to some normal people. I know it's stage management, but he did get to climb towers and go outside of Pyongyang,

which apparently is a big no-no historically. Yeah, but I mean, it's not like him and his camera crew weren't told exactly where they were and weren't allowed to go, and it wasn't stage managed to win an inch of its life, surely. But what's your point? Is your point that you shouldn't have done that at all then? I just think that whatever,

you're getting no idea of the true realities of a North Korean's life and their day-to-day experiences. And you're just feeding the regime. You're just feeding the propaganda. And at the very least, you're feeding the coffers of Air Korea, the North Korean national carrier, et cetera. You're just encouraging dark tourism and stuff like that, in my opinion.

You've been very close. I've been very close. I've been very close. I peeked in. Yeah. I mean, to be honest, I mean, I fed the idea of the, what's the demilitarized zone? DMZ. DMZ.

It's just the initials of the words, mate. So it's pretty easy to work with. Yeah, I know, mate, but I forgot. My mind doesn't work like yours in a normal way. You've been putting your mind in the Nutribullet again. It's spaghetti. It's all mashed up I do worry sometimes

about the old noggin yeah you get a little there's like little there's little pamphlets in every South Korean kind of Seoul based hotel

lobby that basically says would you like to peek into North Korea see what they're doing and you've got this big viewing platform they've got these really strong binoculars

and you look in and it's like I can't really say anything just that shitty platform and they've got these really strong binoculars and you look in and it's like, I can't really say anything. It's just that shitty Potemkin village nonsense. Is the binoculars like the ones in Jurassic Park when

the T-Rex comes in? No, I don't remember. The night vision one? No, it's none of that. So you wouldn't go to North Korea on principle then? No, I wouldn't.

You talked about it before though. I'd like to visit one day when it's not a piece of shit but it's a piece of shit isn't it but surely isn't that a contradiction

because presumably the only reason you want to go is because it's such an interesting place at the moment if it collapses into chaos

and then becomes a sort of nascent democracy presumably the attraction isn't there yeah but it's Schrodinger's

holiday isn't it Schrodinger's holiday yeah it is it? Schrodinger's holiday, yeah. It is a bit. It's a nice way of putting it. What have you been up to anyway, Pete? What was your weekend like?

Any good? Loads of stuff, mate. I'm preparing for my trip to Taiwan by, well, basically doing nothing.

My friend finally booked his fucking flight, which was great. Yeah. He's very, he's very slapdash. Imagine me, but ten times more slapdash, and actually quite obtrusive.

I can't, to me, I can't imagine that. To me, that timeline is just the breakdown of the known universe. To me, that would be, you know when people say everything is technically possible within the lone laws of nature? Yeah. What you've just asked me to imagine there

is not within the known laws of nature yeah what you've just asked me to imagine there is not it's too much within the known laws of nature yeah the only way like you know the only way light can travel at

the speed of light is because it's massless right the photons don't have any mass to me that's the obviously one of the

fundamental to be disorganized yeah but to me what you've asked me to do there goes against nature it would be impossible I don't know of anyone

so you go through phases of being super switched on and organized to do there goes against nature. It would be impossible. I don't know of anyone that... So you go through phases of being super switched on and organised. Like you'll do a day where you'll write crib sheets for everything in the office. Don't be rude. And you'll work out the hardware

and you'll save our lives doing stuff and you'll laminate stuff. And then the next day, it'll be like dealing with the only person who's actually in liquid form not in solid form where you're just

it's just crazy to look at I'm chaos theory you are in human form you are you're going back to Justin Parker

you are Dr. Ian Malcolm's theory personified I was reading about the best way to get people on flights right and the best system is very much one that isn't employed by many, or indeed any, airline companies.

The back-to-front doesn't work. The front-to-back certainly doesn't work. So I've read about this as well. I think Mythbusters might have done an episode on it, and it's about the quickest way to fill up a plane, right? And apparently, I think i'm right and sound sort of scraping the memory banks here but i i think that might have been negligible the amount of difference between them but the free-for-all was might have been the most successful

one just get anyone free for all is up there and it's almost as good as the best which is some kind of randomization on the window, middle, aisle system. Yeah, because they tried back to front, front to back. They tried out window seats through to aisle seats. And they tried free-for-all, obviously. They tried some other stuff. But the free-for-all one, where everyone just piles on whatever they want, seemed to be reasonably decent.

It's up there, yeah, yeah. It's much better than any other system they've got. Yeah. So you're going to do a one-man version of that when you fly to Taiwan, aren't you? What a lot of, I'm going to fly on a plane! What I would say is that a lot of these systems discount

massively the idea and the reasoning and the situation that is actually in effect is that whenever anybody gets on a flight they automatically turn into an absolute dickhead. You just do they automatically turn into an absolute dickhead. Yeah. Like, you just do.

Everyone turns into an absolute dickhead. I fart from the time the wheels get off the ground to the end. Shoes off? We've had this before. You take your shoes and socks off. No, this is a misnomer. I asked you a question which said, if I'm wearing shoes without socks because I've got shorts on,

am I allowed to take my shoes off on a plane? And you said no. And I said, well, I should be able to. Because I'm wearing shoes without socks because I've got shorts on am I allowed to take my shoes off on a plane and you said no and I said well I should be able to because I'm not wearing socks yeah well that's your choice though put

carry bags on your feet or something the only time I've ever taken I've worn no socks and I've taken my shoe out of my sock and shoe

is when I had a burn on my left foot I remember this how did you burn yourself again pot noodle I'd gone out for drinks I'd got a bit pissed and I went home I had a burn on my left foot I remember this how did you burn yourself again? pot noodle I'd gone out for drinks I'd got a bit pissed

and I went home I got a pot noodle and the little flap on the lid flapped down and I just basically poured boiling hot water onto my foot

that is about I'm very much more relaxed about pre-holiday injuries because that nearly approached derailed the whole thing derailed the whole thing because I was just in constant agony.

So this is the night before you went and where were you going? New York via Chicago, well, Chicago via New York and a road trip down there. Did you get any treatment for the foot? I was just constantly putting burn lotion on, wrapping it in crepe bandages

because it was rubbing against the shoes. It was unworkable. It really was bandages because it was rubbing against the shoes it was unworkable it really was and because of the pressure of the flight when I'd only burst one

this is quite disgusting I'd only burst one massive blister so you're supposed to burst them or not no no you're not supposed to get an infection

but this one was just so big it was just going to burst because it was just on the top of my foot it was on the top of the bridge of my foot and I

and I and I looked down about five hours into the flight and I realised that because of the pressure it filled up again to

to an obscene tennis ball degree you've got bare feet like this time I had to who's next to you on the flight I'll tell you exactly

because because I managed to get the fluid on her leg. A Hasidic Jew. Kill it. What? Kill the show. We cannot.

I just thought I'm in trouble now. No, no, no. What? Are you being serious? I'm being serious. It was a New York flight. The whole flight was filled

with Hasidic Jews and I was sat next to a lady who was quite lovely and no one deserves that treatment but I think I might be going to hell so that is why I'm going to hell

I can't what did you say no she didn't notice you've got to tell her no she didn't notice I got my bottle of water out really quickly and just chucked it on her

no I just went open bottle that was not anything to do with me and she looked like I'd spilt some water so you're telling me so let me just get this right

look it's not my prose moment but it fucking happened I know that it's a like I'd spilt some water so you're telling me so let me just get this right look it's not my prose moment but it fucking happened I know that it's a story I think worth telling because that's why I'm going to hell

and not for all the other shit I do no it's one of the reasons I'm not trying to stick my boot in here it's not technically a hate crime it was my leg blistering

no one's saying it's a hate crime right okay and I understand we live in sensitive times and you are a left wing activist and it could be seen

fuck off that way but I'm not suggesting that I'm not going down that road but what I am going to put to you is this and I think the listeners will agree with me

and if they do they should go hello at lukeandpeacher.com and if they don't they should keep quiet right I think the idea

right of you yeah in polite company which has happened okay trying to take a rise out of me for taking my shoes off

with no socks on a plane when you have knowingly and I do mean knowingly and secretly fired foot blister pus down it wasn't pus it was just water

I'm going to say devout ladies leg orthodox the worst thing was she'd spent five minutes before the flight a woman of the cloth a woman of the cloth A woman of the cloth

Like ringing up her She's clearly a nervous flyer So she was ringing up She was reading the Torah And ringing up Every Like a seemingly Endless amount of people

Saying goodbye I love you She was clearly A very nervous flyer She didn't deserve that I tell you what So yeah I don't know

I don't have it Look It was a rollercoaster of emotions A lot of fluids were getting spilled. Dreadful behaviour. But what could I have done? This is the thing. To mention it would have been worse.

When people say to me, Luke Pichot, what's it about? And we sort of say, you know, it's a show about nothing really. We just shoot the shit. And I think you think that's what I say to people. What I actually say is... Please don't listen.

I get to spend half an hour occupying the mind of a maniac. And it could be This had nothing to do with me. My fault, blister blurt. It could be.

And it happened to hit the person who was next to me who had to be a devout religious And it could be hollandaise and a neutral bullet one week. Exactly.

It might well be firing pus on a woman the next week. If a neutral bullet somehow malfunctions it wouldn't be a dissimilar situation. So I think everyone

who's commuting to work listening to this in the middle of a yoghurt or something will want it to reset themselves. It wasn't yoghurt, it was water. It was like a water blister,

basically, but because of the pressure, it had gone up like old Billy-o it was. Yeah. It was, and I just... Like old Faithful.

And I just jostled it. Yeah, was it the start of the flight or the end? It was five hours in, so it got a head of steam. All right, well, let's take a little break, come back and not talk about this ever again. Sorry, everyone. You're probably wondering why I'm in a cold, dark room repeatedly spilling molasses.

Because it's better than leg juice. If you're still listening, you obviously have an ironclad constitution so anything we say in this second half isn't going to shock you yeah and we turn it over to you guys as regular listeners will know who have emailed into hello at luke and pete show.com at this point i should probably plug our socials as well at luke and pete show charlie the social media guy social media Charlie SMC does a great job of sharing the things we talk about on this show if they've got a

visual element not Pete's not this one but if we talk about I think a week or so ago we talked about an article about cyclists and their drug-taking and that

I think was a vice article and Charlie shared that so if you want to supplement what we're talking about with things to read and watch yeah it's at Luke and

Pete show on Twitter and also leave us a review on iTunes if you don't mind five stars would be great and tell us why you love the show because then it will help other people to find it anyway email

section Pete you want to go first consider doing some graffiti somewhere yeah maybe Jack Dunford hello Jack you're done for me hello Luke and Pete from

Tbilisi in Georgia. I like Georgia. I like Georgia. I took a China Airlines flight to Taiwan recently and the movies are all dubbed, but the bloody violence is kept in. I watched Deadpool 2 where Jesus Christ was changed to cheese and rice. That's a popular one, cheese and rice.

Again, affects the plot. It really does. The holy shit balls music for the fight scenes though was kept in. Also the new Predator film, Dreadful. In the film,

the female lead teams up with a band of mercenaries, one of whom has charrettes. When meeting her, he blurts out, eat your pussy, which leads to all the characters arguing about what he meant

and loudly shouting the phrase for about 30 seconds. In the China Airlines dub, this is changed to eat your pudding. Yeah. Eat your pudding. People wouldn't be

as concerned about that, would they? Unless there's no pudding in the immediate vicinity and they'll just be confused, I guess. Exactly. I reckon you can make

a wicked pudding in a Nutribullet. Yeah, I'm sure you will, mate, at some point. I'm sure you will. Yeah, movie dubbing is a fascinating thing. I can't believe it's taken

us 140 odd episodes to come to that. To that. Is that the end of that email from Dunners? Thanks, Dunspout. One of my favourite emails for a while has come in, and it's from Stu Jones.

And I'll give you a little bit of a preamble. So it's an email about a cruise. Right. But you know those artist slash band specific cruises? Yes.

Weezer do one. Oh, yeah, loads of places. Bon Jovi's doing one to Parma. There we go. I think we mentioned it a few weeks ago. Cool, okay. So this one's called Hysteria on the High Seas. Or Hysteria on the High Seas or Hysteria on the High Seas

I guess and of course it is for those of you who know your radio friendly soft rock it's a Def Leppard cruise ah

they've got a famous album of course called Hysteria named after that Hysteria on the High Seas Stu Jones went to this one and

I'll let him take up the story he says hi guys first time listening to a long time email that doesn't make any sense. An apology for the late arrival of this email on the subject of weird happenings on cruises.

I have written and rewritten this email so many times, but it always turns into an essay. So the best way to condense it is to put it into bullet points. Have you read this email, Pete? No, I haven't. Okay, great. You told me not to, so I didn't. So I can follow orders.

This email is in regards to the time my wife and I booked to go on the inaugural, and thus far only, Sounds like it went well. Def Leppard cruiser out of Miami, dubbed Hysteria on the high seas in January 2016. And I'll tell you what, for a bunch of chances, and let's be fair, reasonably talented chaps from Sheffield, Def Leppard done bloody well for themselves.

They're all over the radio in the US. They've got that class. If you tap into that 1970 to 1999 classic rock sound as a band, you are making shitloads of money, hand over fist. AM radio, baby. Yeah, you are all over the radio in the US, and Def Leppard is very much part of that. I mean, their drummer managed to get through losing an arm

and flourished I mean there's no better way to sort of describe how pervasive and how awesome that band are

Hysteria on the High Seas was a rock cruise with Def Leppard headlining with support acts to perform elsewhere on the

MSC Divinia the name of the ship including Eric Martin of Mr Big no Mr Big oh only to be

with you yeah you want to give us a quick one on that I don't like the end of that song because for no reason it goes on the ship, including Eric Martin of Mr. Big. No, Mr. Big? Oh, Only to Be With You. You want to give us a quick one on that? I don't like the end of that song, because for no reason it goes Only to the best to be with you. And then it just goes And it's exactly the same pitch as the start of the Pixies song

Where Is My Mind, and I always think that the Pixies song's going to start and it annoys me when it doesn't. Okay. And I've listened to a Mr. Big song to get there. Eric Martin's there. He's there. If you were there, you'd be furious, but he's there nonetheless.

Right. Tom Kiefer of Cinderella. Richie Cotsen, Last in Line, which is three members of D.O., which is another sort of metal band, including Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard and more. It's a rock cruise. It's a rock cruise. I'm thinking a lot of bootcut jeans, and more. It's a rock cruise. It's a rock cruise.

I'm thinking a lot of bootcut jeans, not as much leather as you'd expect, and probably a lot of real ale. Yes. A lot of Doom Bar. Afraid you might taste something, Lager Boy. A lot of Hobgoblin, yes. I'm going to say big belt buckles, Pete. Yeah, big belt buckles, a lot of hair dye.

Yeah. Skullets. Skullets, yeah. Vaping, would you say? Yeah. Men of a certain age Yeah. Skullets. Skullets, yeah. Vaping, would you say? Yeah. Men of a certain age try a couple of times. Roll-ups.

Roll-ups. Obviously roll-ups. For those of you who don't know what a skullet is, if you're outside the UK, a skullet is a mullet which is receding, therefore showing some of the skull,

hence a skullet. Not to be confused by the less common drullet, which is a dreadlocked mullet. Oh, I don't think I've seen many of those. You don't see many of those. You don't get many of those for the pound. The cruise sailed out of Miami

and had two scheduled stops in the Bahamas and a day at sea before returning back to port. It was a cruise that most people who were on it will never forget. And here's where we get into the bullet points. Okay, so people are on the cruise. They're about to sail out of Miami. They're Def Leppard fans,

but they like other music as well, and they're excited. I imagine it wasn't cheap either. Yes. Okay, so people are on the cruise. They're about to sail out of Miami. They're definitely fans. They like other music as well. And they're excited. I imagine it wasn't cheap either. No. Because those sort of bands love rinsing their fans for cash. Oh, yes. They're up there with Star Wars

for rinsing their cash. Yeah, you go to a Star Wars gift shop at the O2 or something after an exhibition. I remember seeing a key ring in there and it was literally £16. Jesus, what did it do? Yeah, nothing.

It says Star Wars on it. I have to buy most of these things for my wife. She loves Star Wars. Anyway, bullet point number one. At the pre-cruise party at Magic City Casino, we narrowly missed seeing a shooting. Wow. Luckily, it was not fatal.

Number two, the Def Leppard cruise was not a sellout. Right, okay. So, surprised you might be by that. I hope a lot of people got a better cabins then. Well, you'd hope so but MSC the cruise company sold the remaining cabins

to unsuspecting people as a five day Bahamas cruise oh no without telling them of the rock party on board oh no due to MSC having normal customers on board

in quotes normal customers they have to keep quiet at certain times the band's performances were moved to late in the evenings after the traditional

cruise entertainment finished number four oh this is unspeakable the weather was so bad The band's performances were moved to late in the evenings after the traditional cruise entertainment finished. Number four. Oh, this is unspeakable. The weather was so bad we never got off the boat. Yeah. We docked once but were advised not to get off as the captain and port authority wanted us to leave as soon as possible as it was not deemed safe.

This is the fire festival of cruisers. You're thinking it can't get any worse than this. Please tell me there was an outbreak of legionnaires disease. Do you know the name of the lead singer of Def Leppard? It's not David Coverdale. That's another band. Joe Elliott. Joe Elliott, right, yeah.

Joe Elliott had issues with his voice and so was unable to perform. Well, who sang instead? Was he on the cruise, though? At the main Def Leppard concert, they only performed seven songs. Joe's vocals were taken by the guitarists Phil Collin and Vivian Campbell, Andrew Freeman of one of the other bands,

Kit Winger of Winger and Eric Martin of Mr Big. The two latter sang the lyrics of a sheet of paper. The two latter singers sang the

lyrics of a sheet of paper. I hope he was still on the stage though, the lead singer. Well just there. Sort of going, maybe do a bit of

signing or something. Could do, yeah, make an effort. Make an effort. As an apology for no Joe Elliott, the stage though the lead singer well just there I started going maybe do a bit of signing or something could do yeah make an effort make an effort as an apology for no Joe Elliot all attendees

were offered a free ticket to any upcoming Def Leppard concert which is fine if you're from the US but if you're from the UK they would not perform here for another two years

most people were appalled at the small set but there was a reason that did not come clear until the following day Jimmy Bain the bassist of Last In Line and former member of D.O. and Rainbow Appalled at the small set, but there was a reason that did not come clear until the following day. Jimmy Bain, the bassist of Last in Line and former member of D.O.N. Rainbow and good friend of Def Leppard, had died hours before the Def Leppard concert of Pneumonia while on the boat.

Hang on. So one of the people who was supposed to be performing was dead. Yes. It was a, if I may paraphrase or indeed use the entirety of an Amiga video game, a cruise for a corpse. To make matters worse, a journalist on board the ship leaked a story to the press before Bain's family had been informed.

Oh, good God. People turned up to see Last in Line to be met with the news about Bain. Last in Line were performed later on the pool stage as a tribute to Bain with someone else, Eric Bettinham. Is he still on the boat?

Eric Bettinam from Cinderella standing in for the departed bass player. Good God. The other band soldiered on after the news and there was a weird atmosphere on the boat. Funny that. Is it? Well, they're carrying a dead man.

And I have to say, the performance by Kix on the pool stage in Gale Force Winds was commendable. I mean, that's got everything. That email. I mean. That email's got everything. So much information there. You could write a book on that. got everything. That email's got everything. So much information there.

You could write a book on that. It's an amazing email and an amazing experience. And obviously condolences and thoughts to the family and friends of the passed away Jimmy Bain. I'm sure it's a little while ago, but yeah. 2016, January. So a lot of water under Bruce in the centre, if I may. But what an experience.

What? I mean. If I could get one thing out of that Pete one thing extra I would say to Stu Stu please email back in and tell us how you felt about it

what were your emotions at the time did you just want to get off the boat were you thinking you had some sort of humour about it you were thinking

you've got to laugh because if you don't laugh you'll cry also the thing we all want to know how much did it cost yeah how much did it cost yeah how much did it

cost nah I think I want to know where they put the body they must have plans for this because obviously

a lot of older people go on cruises so people must die on cruises all the time so they must be put in amazing scenes

I imagine they don't put them in the pool put them in a jacuzzi stop this come on their body will

be dealt with accordingly Peter and appropriately absolutely like Bin Laden get in there for goodness sake Come on. They'll be... Their body will be dealt with accordingly, Peter. And appropriately, absolutely. Very lit C. Like Bin Laden. Get in there. For goodness sake.

Have you got any more emails? Stop stealing my catchphrase. I didn't... Goodness me. Goodness me. That's goodness me, not for goodness sake. Sorry, I've got it all. I've got them all.

You're like Michael Buffer. You're the Michael Buffer of the nervous, filling catchphrase. Goodness me. Goodness me. I'd love you to go to an Anthony Joshua fight and come out with the mic with the big ring on your finger. Let's get ready to goodness me.

That'd be excellent. And we're back. The old web's down again. What about this from Caroline Peet while you're doing that? After listening to episode 137 about the man who dated a cockroach, I was pleased to see balance being restored

with news that you can now name a cockroach after your ex and then watch it being devoured by a meerkat on a live feed. I'm not sure. That's very nice. I find it quite misogynistic. Romance is not dead in London to Caroline. Great podcast guys. All the best.

She sent that email saying great podcast before your chat about the blister before about the deaf leopard news. Yeah. Can we think of deaf leopard puns around the cruise? It was a disaster. before your chat about the blister, before about the Def Leppard news, can we think of Def Leppard puns around the cruise that was a disaster? I'm trying to think. Animal? That's just the name of their song, isn't it? Just the name of their song, mate.

And I won't. And I... Pour some... Ah, good. Lime on me. Pour some disappointment on me. Pour some lime on me. Pour some lime on me.

That's what you do with bodies, don't you? Yeah. To break them down. That's true, yeah. I can't think of any... Pour some lime on me. Pour some lime on me. That's what you do with bodies, don't you? Yeah. To break them down. True, yeah. I can't think of any. Pour some scone on the whole plan. Love Bites is another one of their songs. You got your computer up there.
