The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 145: Man dunks child
Episode Date: February 25, 2019What would happen if Pete and Luke grabbed an aircraft carrier from somewhere and piloted it to the South China Sea? Just one of the thought experiments available on today's episode of TLAPS. Elsewher...e, we hear of a festival going wrong (not Ja Rule's one, although he does get a good going over regardless), something truly surprising that Luke sent a friend in the post, a boat called Clubber Lang, and a truly bizarre way for a man to motivate his son to be better at football. Warning: This episode contains a story about a paddling pool from Pete Donaldson that we can only describe as 'specialist'.

Hi, I'm Matt Heafy, the singer of Trivium.
It's very nice to meet you.
Yeah.
Monday, Monday.
I was replaced by Brad Luter. That's my favourite Trivium song
I was thinking of the word Trivium in my head
And I thought, I wonder what the lead singer of Trivium is called
And apparently it's Matt Heafy
Are those massive Metallica rip-off merchants?
I mean
They just sound exactly like Metallica
I mean, isn't everyone nowadays?
Yeah
I don't know
I suppose so
Welcome to the Luke and Pete show Episode 145 I mean, isn't everyone nowadays? Yeah. I don't know. I suppose so.
Welcome to the Luke and Pete show.
Episode 145.
Shit.
Bloody hell, where does the time go? We didn't celebrate the 125, like the intercity 125.
How fast do trains go nowadays?
They must go faster than 125 miles an hour.
Did you see India's...
You had a go at me on Thursday.
We were talking about trains.
No, at least mine is pure engineering.
Yours is about timetables.
Well, it was about ticketing, yeah.
What was it? Ticket prices.
Yeah, there's talk of revamping the ticketing system.
Right.
So it's clearer.
And there's not a billion tickets available for the same routes
and all that kind of stuff.
I mean, I just wish the...
You know, if you sort of land in this country
and in this country, coming over here, buying our train tickets, there's like three or four different choices when it comes to getting into town.
And it's like, and you can only go on certain routes.
I think it's a big issue. execs everywhere and never actually leave London apart from to go to the airport to fly somewhere exotic you would be forgiven
for thinking
that it's not a big issue
for people
but I'm here talking about
everyday people
and their issues
and trying to be
loyal to them
and show solidarity
alongside my fellow
brother and sister
I'm always going away
Birmingham
actually you can't drive
so you probably do use trains
more than me
use trains more than everyone
yeah
apparently I didn't know
that New York
the New York,
the New York Metro has no version of the Oyster card.
It's all still paper.
Crazy, isn't it? Yeah, that would be my experience.
I haven't been there for a while, but yeah.
Crazy.
Yeah, we're going there later in the year, aren't we?
So we'll find out.
Yes, we are.
I've got something to bring to the table,
shockingly, this time around.
Did you see the second news earlier in the week, or last week, that there was a Fortnite festival?
What, as in the video game Fortnite?
Yeah.
So it was called Fortnite Live, and it was a Fortnite game themed event.
Right.
How long should we make this?
Just a day?
Yeah, just outside Norwich.
Well, that's foolish.
Just outside Norwich, which apparently that's foolish. Just outside Norwich,
which apparently was an absolute disaster.
Why?
Everyone knows about Fire Festival
and how much of a disaster that was.
And Jarlrool piping up the other day
saying he wants to do it again.
I said it would make millions.
He's lucky not to be in jail, Pete.
He's lucky not to be in jail.
If you are planning on doing it again,
Jarl, as your friends call you.
What's Jarro's biggest song?
Who cares?
No, no, you care, baby.
I'm not always there when you call.
But you're always on time.
Does he sing that bit?
No, I don't think so.
You transposed his voice onto the girl who sang it.
I gave you my heart.
Was it Shanti?
Did she sing that bit?
Shanti?
Did she do American Girl?
I see Shanti.
No, that was Estelle.
Estelle.
Yeah, that's it.
Take me out to see LA.
That one.
Carry on.
Good song.
My voice is breaking.
Let's get with you.
You'll be an American boy.
American boy.
That was, what's his name, wasn't it?
Bob Geldof.
Bob Geldof.
I don't like Mondays, but it is Monday.
Enjoy the Luke and Pete show.
Back to the Fortnite.
There's this Fortnite festival.
He probably wouldn't have said I don't like Mondays if he'd had the Luke and Pete show.
Probably would.
Probably his favourite day of the week.
It's next to Thursday.
Before I go into this, can you tell people listening who are older than us,
or older than like 25,
what Fortnite actually is?
It's a battle royale game,
and it's all colourful and that,
and it's very popular because it's free to play,
and all the kids love it.
So you basically...
And it's killed Mesut Ozil's career.
Yeah.
Is it right you get parachuted into an island,
there's 100 players,
and it's basically the last person surviving wins, right?
Anyway, Fortnite Live Festival just outside Norwich.
I'm a PUBG guy.
2,800 people turned up.
Right.
So all paying an amount of money, I guess.
The wonderful people at Fortnite Live
put on a one climbing wall
between 3,000 children.
Apparently 2,800 turned up, but someone
else reported that it was 3,000 plus.
Guess how many go-karts they had?
Ten. Four.
Four? That doesn't seem like
enough for a kid's party.
Four, yeah.
There was a Fortnite
tunnel, in quotes, which is basically a
little sort of stretchy
tunnel they put underneath a
four by four truck fucking hell and um yeah and apparently it was all together quite underwhelming
is it like one of those kind of like um traveling um christmas experience basically yeah exactly
like that before like the the ice uh the um uh winter wonderland the winter wonderland but it's
like not the one in High Park
yeah
like shitty towns
it's like
they'll bring like
an ice skating rink
but it'll just be plastic
and people are just
falling over
there's mud everywhere
it's just dreadful
but the reason I brought
this particular news story
to the table
dog with antlers
yeah
it's because
one parent said
according to the news report
and I don't know
if they said this
they're probably just saying it
because it's a funny pun
to put in there
Fortnite is all about hunting people down
and killing them.
I felt like doing that
to the people who organised it.
That gave me a chuckle, I'll tell you.
That's so funny.
As the circle gets smaller.
There we go.
But anyway, what's on the agenda
for you this week, Pete Donaldson?
What's on the agenda for you
and me and everyone?
Probably my podcast, to be honest.
I've got nothing planned, to be honest. You're off to Taiwan, aren't you? I'm off to Taiwan. I mean, I everyone probably my podcast to be honest I've got nothing planned
you're off to Taiwan
I'm off to Taiwan
I mean I'm in Taiwan
to be honest
what's the
what's the
help a brother out here
what's the
because I called this
Chinese Taipei recently
and that's a no-no right
I don't think you did
I don't think you could
remember Chinese Taipei
I forgot
I just forgot what they called it
yeah
Chinese Taipei
and they
it's a lot of food a lot of great food it's a nice mishmash of like is it politically ins it. Yeah. Chinese Taipei. And they, it's a lot of food, a lot of great food.
It's a nice mishmash of like the Philippines.
Is it politically insensitive to call it Chinese Taipei?
To the Taiwanese, yeah.
Okay.
So they don't like that.
They obviously thought they're their own country
and China have got their own ideas about that.
Yeah.
It's like if the Falklands was right next door.
Okay, right.
And what would happen if we were to send our own aircraft carrier
into the South China Sea?
Well, I mean, the Chinese have got that all sawn up.
As in like a Luke and Pete show aircraft carrier?
Aircraft carrier.
Just like a party aircraft carrier.
Yeah, and instead of having planes on the deck,
it would have just great chat.
And you could blow it over.
Yeah, after war.
Great chat.
What would happen?
Would they be upset with that?
They'd be confused, I think, in many ways.
A lot of feedback about how we'd been
able to afford
our own aircraft carrier
do you know what happens
I get decommissioned
all the time
so you can probably
grab one
get a tugboat
to tug it out there
my dad told me
aircraft carriers
take 7 miles to stop
so I feel like I'm
qualified to pilot it
just make sure
when I'm 7 miles out
I hit the brakes
and we'll be fine
and don't smash into
whatever's down in
the South China Sea
but the way I feel
about it is as long
as you don't hit land
you can do whatever
you want
you've done well
yeah
because you're an
aircraft carrier
people get out of
your way
if you hit another
ship it's going to
be smaller isn't it
yeah exactly and if
you're an aircraft
carrier people are
going to get out of
the way isn't it
you've just got to
get out of the way
definitely
a lot of interesting feedback about our priests who wear clothes chat um i mean one or two people
taking it a bit too seriously i think yeah which is always the way when you when you when you i
mean i'm not talking about the south china sea here but when you venture into those murky waters
people will will get a bit angry about the silt that's washed up the conversational silt if you're
going to put a priest in a paddling pool
and he's not wearing pants, that might happen.
Where are you going with that?
Some of them in a firm.
Where are you going with that?
What do you mean?
Where's the paddling pool come from?
They're not wearing any pants.
Tell your paddling pool story.
What was my paddling pool story?
You've got a paddling pool story.
Yes, there was a rumour that a notable celebrity
had notable celebrity parties where a uh a man i can't believe
i've encouraged you to do this a man would sit in a paddling pool a very debauched party would sit
in a paddling pool and uh mainly the the gay men of the party uh would ejaculate be sick piss
whatever you want on uh the the chap i forgot about that bit, I shouldn't have brought it up.
The chap who would sit in the paddling pool,
and he was known as the slug,
because he'd just be writhing around in...
I have to say,
I did forget about half of that story.
In nonsense, basically.
Yeah.
Each to their own.
Each to their own.
Consenting adults.
I'm fairly certain it's probably one of those stories
that people,
you know, that people...
Oh, dear.
For some reason, you're Siri.
When you started telling that story,
your phone came to life, Pete.
Isn't that weird?
I don't know what that says about you, but...
It just came to life.
It got excited.
Are you telling the slug story again, Peter?
Peter, are you hiding in plain sight again?
I don't have enough room for a paddling pool.
I've got a little bit of an update.
Sorry about that departure, by the way.
I forgot about half that story,
and far be it from me to encourage you to start talking about that kind of stuff.
But there we go.
I think it's one of the stories that people
kind of attribute to notable gay celebrities
because the general homophobia that is displayed.
It's probably untrue,
but I just quite like the image.
Yeah, I bet you do.
I just like his full,
and a man who just sits in a paddling pool all night
getting jizzed on,
just ends the party.
Does he shower off?
He'd have to shower off.
Does he take his wagon with him?
He'd have to shower off.
Why?
For me, the image I've got in my mind now is about...
You get pissed on,
you're kind of getting showered off, aren't you?
Three in the morning,
him just
you know very calmly
just closing the pad and pull down
yeah
packing it all up again
throwing it
just take it outside
throwing it in the flower beds
saying um
when's the next one of these
is it
is it
is another one
maybe just put that in my
in my phone
yeah
put it on my phone for next time
yeah
oh I can't make it
oh I still haven't
oh no
honestly
I still haven't
Dave can do it
I still haven't got a B&Q
I've got I've got a B&Q I've got
I've got to be up
the next day
I think what people
don't like is the fact
that we don't give them
warnings about that
kind of content
yeah
we don't even put
explicit on the show
do we
we could vault fast
into anything
which I think we
could probably get
in trouble for
but I've got a little
bit of an update
about
do you remember
a while ago
I told you that
a friend of mine sent me a letter through the post saying here's a challenge do you want to do it and it was a food update about... Do you remember a while ago I told you that a
friend of mine
sent me a letter
through the post
saying here's a
challenge, do you
want to do it?
And it was a food
portrait of my own
face.
That's right, yes.
Well, the results
came back and I
came third.
Really?
Because it was
really good, it
looked like it.
Yeah, that's what I
thought.
So for those of you
who don't know what
I'm talking about
here, you need to
go back and listen
to an earlier
episode, but I'll
give you a quick
price in.
If you want to
see the food
face portrait, go on to our Twitter which is at Luke and Pete but I'll give you a quick price and if you want to see the food face portrait
go on to our Twitter
which is
at Luke and Pete show
I've got a group
of six friends
really in total
and that's it
and one of them
set a challenge
by sending a letter
through to each of us
saying here's a challenge
you want to do it
if so do a food
face portrait
and take a photo of it
email it to this email address
and I'll dish out points and I came third I was a photo of it, email it to this email address and I'll dish out points.
And I came third.
Right.
I was a bit disappointed.
It was good.
Pete, you've given me,
you're quite an artistic guy
and you've given me props there
so I'll take that as credit.
Anyway, I came third
but then I got another one
through the post
saying,
do you want to accept
tasks number two?
Do you want to see your kids again?
Yeah.
No, so it's like,
it's basically a blatant rip-off
of Taskmaster which you can see on day which is a great show and I would kids again? Yeah. No, so it's basically a blatant rip-off of Taskmaster,
which you can see on day, which is a great show,
and I would recommend you watch it.
Anyway, the second challenge was by the end,
by the 24th of February, which was yesterday,
but I did it in advance,
is send the most surprising thing you can in the post
to my address.
Right.
And you can't spend more than a fiver.
Now we've not got the results back yet
but I
I got in a bit of trouble
for this with my friend's wife.
I found
a quite large collection
available for
£4.83 with free postage
for Amazon.
A quite large collection of black crickets.
Live.
Live black crickets.
And I sent them to
the house.
That's good.
That's great.
But the problem is
apparently they're so loud
they couldn't get any sleep.
Are they still in their box?
What are they going to do?
I think they've taken them
to a local zoo.
I think they've taken them
to a local zoo I think. And they'll use them I think they'll take them to the local zoo. I think they'll take them to the local zoo, I think.
And they'll use them...
I think they'll feed them to the monkeys.
What?
Yeah.
This is insanity.
I know.
So that's what I've been up to.
So if you need to get rid of some crickets,
just take them to the zoo.
Well, I read...
Part of the reason I sent them
is because I saw that...
Let's make this very clear.
This is a cricket-based genocide
perpetrated by one Luke Moore
well it sort of is
you're sending them to their deaths
but the reason they're available
to be purchased anyway
is to be fed to lizards
and stuff like that
right
but I
this is going to take another bit of a turn
I'm sorry
but I know people are looking to Pete
for this weird stuff
but
I wouldn't do this
about a year and a half ago
I saw
I happened across the
Amazon wish list of Monkey World in Dorset.
Do you know about Monkey World?
Yeah.
It's a monkey sanctuary.
Okay.
They rescue monkeys from all over the world and they look after them with a view to hopefully
get them back into the wild again.
And the monkeys in Monkey World had their own Amazon wish list.
Okay.
Typewriters.
And one of the things at the top of the list of their wish list was crickets.
We want crickets.
Yeah.
Because that's one
of their favourite
snacks.
I reckon their
favourite snacks
would be like
chocolate or
something.
Guaranteed it
would be something
incredibly unhealthy
but yeah crickets.
Do they chase
them around and
eat them?
I think they do
yeah.
I'm sorry if
people feel a
little bit upset
at the idea that
animals eat
insects but I
mean there's not
really much I can
do.
I haven't sent
our facilitation
there.
There's not
much I can do. Well I could not send them I guess. I mean monkeys are still going to eat insects but I mean there's not really much I can do I haven't sent out a facilitation there there's not much I
can do
well I could not
send them I guess
I mean monkeys are
still going to eat
insects
anyway that's a
diversion
that would be like
kind of bequeathed
my mate is
I think I've said
this on the show
before but as I have
pretty much everything
else I see on the
show my friend is
genuinely paralysed
with fear that at
some point in his
life someone is
going to bequeath
him a boat
right why mooring fees upkeep he point in his life someone is going to bequeath him a boat.
Right, why?
Mowering fees, upkeep.
He's just genuinely scared someone's going to bequeath him a boat.
A few of my friends bought a boat.
Did I tell you about that?
No.
A few of my friends bought a boat
way back in the day
because I grew up next to the coast, obviously.
And so I was there
when the conversation was happening.
I didn't actually partake in the purchase,
but I was there.
Right thing about crickets, mate.
People were smoking weed
there was ideas
knocking about
we were at a
stage where none
of us had our
own house or
own place to
stay and we
couldn't, we
were all living
with our parents
and we couldn't
afford our own
place.
We could have
thought of bought.
Well that's the
thing.
So the three of
the boys they all
put their money
together and they
bought a boat
called Clubber Lang.
Right.
And they painted Clubber Lang,
of course, Mr. T's character in Rocky...
Two?
Two, I think.
They painted a boxing glove on the side
and they said, what we're going to do
is we're going to go out in Clubber Lang,
out into the sea, anchor,
and if we want to have a beer or smoke some weed,
we can do it out there and no one's going to bother us.
I don't think it ever went out.
I think they...
It just always just stayed in.
They visited a couple of times
and then about three or four months
after the idea sort of wore off,
they thought, oh shit, what about that boat?
Went back and then paid the mooring fee
so it just got taken away.
I mean, wow.
You must be able to buy boats quite cheap
from people who take them away.
I think it was like a couple of grand.
Yeah.
It wasn't that much in the first place.
Anyway.
It's just very, I don't know, it's just a pain in the arse, isn't it?
Absolutely a pain in the arse wanting to buy.
Not if it's an aircraft carrier, mate.
Let's go have a break and then we'll do some emails.
All right then, let's do that.

Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com.
Vocal fry.
To get in touch.
Is that Sarah Koenig
from Serial there?
Vocal Fry.
She doesn't do
Vocal Fry does she?
I think so, yeah.
Nah, she's
you gotta be like a
You're not doing it right.
Gotta be like a total
valley girl, eh?
No, but you're doing it wrong
because the Vocal Fry
only happens at the end
of a sentence.
Oh my God.
So they talk like this
and then they go
I just didn't really know
what I was doing.
Right?
And I'm like,
right, okay.
And also,
another thing they also do
on those American shows,
they go,
a lot of these conversations happen.
I've been harpooned.
Some person goes,
some person goes,
so what I did is I,
I took the car
out from the garage
and I drove it down to the Best Buy.
And then the presenter will go,
so you took the car out of the garage
and you drove it down to the Best Buy.
Yeah, I took the car out of the garage
and I drove it down to the Best Buy.
And then the presenter will just go,
huh.
And that is responsible for 20% to 25% of the run time
of every single American series-based podcast.
If you took all that out, each episode would be about 15 minutes long.
Somebody recommended.
It's not premium content like this, and that's what angers me.
Oh, God, we use our time so effectively.
Talking about murdering crickets.
Angers me.
Oh, God, we use our time so effectively talking about murder and crickets.
The bloke, the wide-shouldered bloke next door,
he recommended a podcast to me
about the fall of the Shah in Iran.
A BBC kind of...
Is it only available on BBC Sounds?
Because I'm not here for that.
It's a podcast.
I'm not recommending it
because I didn't particularly enjoy it.
I didn't know on it.
I just thought, I'm not on it. It didn't particularly enjoy it I didn't know on it I just thought I'm not on it
it's just
it's a dramatization
of the fall of the Shah
but some of the writing
man
like
she goes
hello
I know in like
TV and film
you sure don't tell
is that right
yeah always show
I think that's
for me
and this goes against
this is anathema
to this show
it's a different type of show
this one
but for me in everything
show don't tell
don't
no expositional stuff
it's rubbish
it's nowhere near as good
in audio dramas
you kind of have to tell
a bit more
yeah
but
it's just the way they do it
so ham-fisted
he wakes up
and his daughter's arrived
this is not fiction
by the way no
it's not audio drama
it's an audio drama
it's audio drama
it's audio drama
about the fall of the Shah
so it's set on
hello my
hello my daughter
and I'm like
oh fuck's sake
and then he's like
I've made some tea
and you have bread
and Iranian honey
and it's like
we're in Iran
you wouldn't say
Iranian honey
we have Iranian honey.
We have Iranian honey.
Alright, mate, we've got London
jam. Enjoy it.
Oh, I can't
wait to drink some of that
English orange juice.
You're thinking about a cafe again,
aren't you?
Yeah, but unless
see, I don't know.
Iranian honey might be a specific topic. I know, but unless... See, I don't know. Iranian honey might be
a specific type of honey.
I know, but still,
it just sounds ham-fisted.
English ham-fisted.
Anyway,
we're actually technically, Pete,
we're in the email section
of this show.
I'm going to start with...
This is quite...
So, I debated about
whether to read this email or not.
Okay.
And I've decided that I'm going to.
But I think...
I don't know if this is problematic and a bit troubling,
and I want you, Pete, of all people, to be...
Do you really think...
Arbiter.
No, I think you should be the arbiter.
The Donny Barometer is really in operation.
You had what I would describe as a troubled childhood
in a safe environment.
Yeah, but it was the trouble I brought on myself.
No, fine.
But I'm not suggesting your parents
weren't anything other than excellent.
I love your parents.
They produced you,
and that's good enough for me.
I've made, to be honest,
if you're listening,
is your mum's name Helen?
No, my sister's name is Helen.
What's your mum's name?
Christine.
Christine and Stuart,
if you're listening,
I've made a pretty penny off your son.
So, listen,
we're all on the same team here.
Off your son.
But you are a man to,
I think,
to be the arbiter of whether this is problematic or not. Listen, we're all on the same team here. Off your son. But you are a man to, I think, Best sex worker and so on.
To be the arbiter of whether this is problematic or not.
So it's from Tony.
I won't use his full name.
Yo, Tony.
Tony.
He says,
Tony.
He says,
Hello, boys.
Huge fan of Radio Stakhanov.
I do a mini celebration with a new episode
of any of the Holy Trinity,
the Football Ramble on the Continent
or Luke and Pete show.
Light up on my screen.
Way back, you had
a discussion about little lies parents told
to their kids, and it reminded
me of something my father used to do.
My father was in Fleetwood Mac.
It wasn't quite a lie, and
it is a little dark, so I kept it to myself.
However, when Pete started
talking about horse blowjobs, I felt the
zeitgeist had grown dark enough.
Okay.
It's nothing sexual.
I just realised the apparent path I was leading you down.
He says, anyway, before football as a kid,
my father used to think that we were sometimes too sleepy.
Right.
So I guess they're getting up to play a football game as kids
in their kids' football team.
He would sometimes think we were too sleepy,
so he would fill the sink with cold
water, chase us down,
and dunk our heads in it.
Wow. I always insisted that
the inevitable pursuit through the house was enough to wake us up,
but he persisted. Isn't this weird?
I'm wondering if anyone else experienced something
similar growing up. Cheers, Tony.
Um, yeah.
Dads are weird, aren't they?
Um, it's effectively
like a morning
waterboarding
isn't it really
sort of
I'm going to
dunk your head in
it reminds me of
that scene in
Lock, Stock and Two
Smoking Barrels
with Barry the Baptist
are you going to
fucking pay
are you going to
fucking pay
I'm sure it was
meant with love
in fact I'm certain
it was
and the intentions
were pure and
honourable
but is that something
given these days
that I don't know
a lot of my friends
have got children I don't know any a lot of my friends have got children.
I don't know any of them
who will deliver any sort of corporal punishment,
slap the back of the legs, slap their bum.
None of that happens now.
So let's assume Tony is around our age.
I don't know.
Would you have thought that was weird when you were younger?
I wouldn't have thought it was weird when I was younger,
but now you sort of go, again, aren't dads weird?
But they're just normal guys like us.
Bit of fun.
Is it problematic?
Probably in this day and age.
Things have changed so much.
Hello at LukeandPetra.com if you have an opinion on that.
One of my earliest memories was we had like a kind of hoity-toity next door neighbour.
Did you really?
What made them like that? Well, I tell you what, recently I looked at how much their fucking house is worth we had like a kind of hoity-toity next door neighbour who thought they were better
what made them
what made them like that
well I tell you what
recently I looked at
how much their fucking house
is worth
and it's 40 grand
so
you know
but what did they do
to make you think about that
they were just very
kind of like
you know
looking down their nose
at you and stuff
and they had like
a nice cigar in their nose
and they'd
you know
whinge about
and my dad like
banging away in the shed
or whatever.
They were just a bit arse.
What was he doing?
They would have like little parties
and they'd look over
and go,
oh,
that's good enough.
What jobs did they have?
I mean,
it was a terraced house
in Hartlepool.
But one of the most snobby people
that you get,
because we had a similar outbreak
in terms of,
I grew up in a terraced house
in Gosport,
which is,
you know,
I mean,
the house price is probably more
expensive but that's
because it's in the
south it was very
similar and the people
in my experience who
are the most snobby
the ones who think
they're the dogs
bollocks like a
teacher or something
or a where I come
from it would be a
naval officer
it's like what they
say they sort of have
a they always say on
airports on airplanes
like the upper class deck,
lovely people.
I bet, yeah.
The coach, fine.
It's the people who are in business
who think they're, you know.
And I think you can transpose that across
to famous people, right?
So you have people
who are really famous.
And we've had,
I mean, I'm not trying to show off
and I won't name them
because to save embarrassment,
but we've had very famous people
in this office.
And they've always been so nice,
very humble,
very business-like,
head down,
get on with it.
Because I think they've got a grasp
of the idea that
it's important
that other people's encounters
with them are positive ones.
You're always on when you're that famous.
Exactly.
But then you get people, and the worst people,
and I've experienced this,
the worst people are the sort of reality show type people
who think they're much more famous than they are.
So I reckon it's the same principle.
But anyway, carry on.
It's always like imposter.
I would always feel like a bloody imposter.
I just remember my dad, we were outside in the garden.
I was helping him with something,
but I was in my vest and shirt
sorry
vest and pants
I was just in these little
in my mind
and in every listener's mind
as a kid
you were always in your vest and pants
but I was just in my vest and pants
and my dad took one look at me
laughed
and then ran in the house
and locked the door
so I was in the garden
just in my pants and vest
love that
that's great dad behaviour
yeah but I was like
is it abusive possibly is it abusive possibly but I was like is it cold no no it's fine but I was in the garden just in my pants and vest. Love that. That's great dad behaviour. Yeah, but I was like... Is it abusive, possibly?
Is it abusive, possibly?
Is it cold?
No, no, it's fine.
But I was just sore.
I was just like, argh!
I mean, I was all in the garden in my vest and pants.
That's the thing.
It wasn't like my dad had to manhandle it to get me out of there.
Yeah.
But then I suddenly felt incredibly exposed,
and I started crying.
Let me in!
I started screaming.
And the hoity-toity mum next door looked over the fence
and went,
Pete, are you okay?
And it just basically
looked like an abuse situation.
What happened at the end?
Well, my dad let me in.
He was like,
well, you've made a real prick up
or something.
Back then though,
like, you know.
Your dad was angry with you?
Yeah, because I'd been,
I'd had the screaming abdubs
and, you know.
You grasped him up, Pete.
I'd grasped him up.
Yeah.
Try laughing, baby.
Who's to blame there though? Ultimately I'd graft him up. Yeah. Child land, baby. Who's to blame there, though?
Ultimately, 100% your dad.
Yeah, and a culture of organised paedophile rings.
For goodness sake.
For goodness sake.
You know, I can remember a similar situation, Ree, my parents.
Parents in the 80s were so scared of child land
and having their kids taken away from them.
Mine certainly were, anyway.
I don't know what had gone on.
I don't think mine were
because I can remember
having a tantrum
we went for a walk
somewhere
I can't remember where it was
but we went for a walk
on like a Saturday
afternoon or whatever
and I was being
a little dickhead
and I was throwing
sticks
at people
and all that kind of stuff
and I was walking
off on my own
my parents telling me
not to go too far away all that kind of stuff I don't know walking off on my own. My parents were telling me not to go too far away.
All that kind of stuff.
I don't know how old I was.
Probably about seven or eight.
And at one point,
obviously,
my sister's a lot younger than me.
She's five years younger.
So she would have just been toddling along.
Yeah.
And so she would have had no say in it.
And I think at one point,
when I walked too far off,
my parents just hid.
Yeah.
They just hid in the trees.
Classic joke.
Yeah.
And so I turned around.
I was like
I'll have to set up camp now
oh I'm not so brave
instantly I'm not brave
because now my parents
aren't there
what am I going to do
I think I just ended up crying
but I can absolutely
imagine a situation
where another family
would come along
and be like
are you okay
but they didn't
my mum and dad
just jumped out
and were like
that'll teach you for that
and many ways
that's why I've got
commitment issues
now still wet the bed and I always feel lonely and I'll wet the bed but that'll teach you for that. And in many ways, that's why I've got commitment issues now.
Still wet the bed.
And I always feel lonely
and I'll wet the bed
and I can't do
any of this stuff
without a safety net.
And you are the safety net, Pete.
So it makes me feel better
to see a man worse than you.
Well, you filled the blanks in there.
I wasn't actually going to say that,
but we'll go with that.
I'm going to dunk your head
in a sink.
That feels like an entirely
depressing way to end this show.
Well, it's been emotional.
It's been cathartic.
It's helped you and me outlook immensely.
If you want to get in touch with the show,
it's hello at lukenpeachshow.com.
We do love hearing from people.
I mean, that's the main reason why we do this.
Yeah, to find people worse off than us.
Horrible stories.
Some people are much better off than us.
We haven't had any information about a
Faberge egg yet.
No.
So do get in touch
on that front.
Anybody knows anyone
with a Faberge egg
or has seen a Faberge
egg in someone's
house.
Yeah.
They're useless
fucking things aren't
they?
Unattractive.
Is it God's way of
showing you you've
got too much money?
Possibly I don't know.
Yeah.
Speaking of that
please if you are of
a religious bent more
power to you.
Please don't get in
touch and tell me I'm
wrong talking about
religious leaders' clothing
because it's a frivolous comment.
It's a bit of a joke.
I believe you should be able
to joke about everything
and I've joked about that.
I don't think God would mind,
personally.
He's got other stuff on.
Yeah.
And if you are of the Christian persuasion,
you'll have to forgive me,
which apparently I'm led to believe
is a cornerstone of the faith.
So we should be okay. Yeah. Hello at lucarpeach.com. Great to talk to you which apparently I'm led to believe is a cornerstone of the face. So we should be okay.
Yeah.
Hello at lucarpeach.com.
Great to talk to you as ever.
Pete, it's been a pleasure
being in your company.
We'll be back on Thursday
for more of this.
The final day of February.
Can it really be that already?
Jesus.
See you later.
Sorry for saying Jesus.
I mean, he made volcanoes.
They're fucking ridiculous, aren't they?
And tectonic plates.
