and it's apparently when he's uh weeing on you oh right yeah well they talk all about the odds
of march what about the final day of february beware of that i don't know is this the final
day of february yeah oh well we've done well, haven't we?
We've done well.
To get here.
February.
January went quickly,
but obviously February
being quite a sharp month,
you're like, whoa.
Do you think people get confused
about the Ides of March?
What do you mean?
Well, because I think people think that...
Great film with George Clooney
and Ryan Gosling in, I believe.
Haven't seen it.
Well, it's good.
I'll say to you what I've said before.
Sooner or later,
Ryan Gosling as an actor is going to have to start talking. He don't do't seen it. Well, it's good. I'll say to you what I've said before. Sooner or later, Ryan Gosling as an actor
is going to have to start talking.
He don't do nothing so far.
Thanks, Steve McQueen.
He's just presence.
He's all presence.
Just looks around, looking broody.
The Ides of March is the 15th of March.
I think it literally means the middle of March.
Right.
And beware the Ides of March, I think,
is because in that context,
something was happening in the middle of March.
Yes.
But I think people might,
I won't say people I mean me
might have confused it
with something
as in like
something terrible
happened in March
beware the Ides of March
but it just means
beware the middle of March
it's basically when
Keegan's Newcastle season
went to shit
I'm going to stop saying that
Kevin Keegan
famously born on
Valentine's Day of course
and the world fell in love
with him
and his personality
we missed Bobby Robertson's
birthday by 7, 8, 9 days 10 days yeah was it his birthday recently on Valentine's Day, of course. He was. And the world fell in love with him and his personality. We missed Bobby Robson's birthday
by seven, eight, nine days, ten days.
Yeah.
Was it his birthday recently?
His birthday recently.
Happy birthday, Bobby Robson.
Good, yeah.
Great man.
How are you, Pete?
It's almost the weekend.
We're getting there.
Oh, yeah.
It's the weekend.
How have you been?
How's this week been for you?
All right?
Pretty average, really.
Pretty average, yeah.
My life's quite routine these days.
Although my wife got a new visa, which is good.
Right.
I had her bags packed, but it wasn't to be.
No.
No, she's renewed her visa because...
She's got to do it early.
American citizen.
No, every two and a half years.
Right.
And she's been here almost two and a half years.
Aware the Ides of March when you lose your wife.
But the next step is indefinite leave to remain.
So it means that she can come and go as she pleases.
That's it.
And that doesn't mean she's a British citizen,
but it means she has, as it says,
indefinite leave to stay here.
So she could at any point be chucked out
and replaced by a rapper.
Well, yeah, there's one out, one in.
What's his name?
Fifteen Candles?
I can't remember.
His name is Fifteen Candles.
The only sort of
caveat to that is in
the words of I think
Kid's dad.
I think it's Kid's
dad in the seminal
film House Party.
In the words of his
dad, don't you ever
do a crime.
Don't you ever do a
crime?
If you don't do a
crime, you're all
good.
That's quite a
performance in that
film.
I'll tell you something. Let's get into this. You love a bit of that, don't you's quite a performance in that film. I'll tell you something.
Let's get into this.
You love a bit of that, don't you?
Let's go deep into this.
I'll tell you right now.
If you are of our age or older, you'll know what House Party is.
If you're not, it's a comedy movie featuring rappers and comedians,
kid and play.
This is House Party I'm talking about,
which is about a house party where they try and get involved and have a bit of fun but
they don't want their parents to find out and it is absolutely brilliant it's so good it's like a
teenage animal house 1990 film and the guy who steals the show is um is plays kid i'm pretty
sure his kid kid's dad. And sadly, he died.
He's called Robin Harris.
Not that long ago, really.
No, he died very young.
What?
He died almost straight after House Party.
Oh.
I'm just looking up now.
He died in 1990.
And he plays this cynical, world-weary, very funny dad
who's basically trying to track down the kids
because they're having a house party.
And one of the first things he does when he walks into the house, because they're having a house party and one of the first things
he does when he
walks into the house
because he finds the
house obviously one
of the first things
he does when he
walks into the house
is that quote he
sees a kid with
jerry curls and he's
got a load of gel
in his hair yeah
like the the um the
gel cut stuff they
used to use for
jerry curl hair
like the hair oil
and he just looks up
and goes hmm
maddened on you
been here i seen
the drippers in the
driveway
he goes don't you ever do a crime
Police ain't got no problem
Finding you
All they gotta do
Is follow the drip
Don't you ever do a crime
And that's where it comes from
Wonderful
The way that relates to
My wife's new visa
Is that she cannot
Ever do a crime
She can't ever do crime
Yeah
What so she cannot
Even do like
A little crime
Like stealing a DVD
From a post office
I don't think we're ever going
to test that
come on
listen
especially not a
DVD
got no means
of playing it
so there'd be
absolutely no point
now it could be
a DVD ROM
it could be like
a crossword game
for a PC
have you still got
a collection of
DVDs
no
I do have some
Blu-rays
some HD Blu-rays
Blu-movies
I bought a HD
Blu-movie player
to watch Goodfellas
I actually bought it
for the new Blade Runner
I've still not watched it
on it though
Would you like to have been there
when
when the Blades were run
I understand it was tragic
and people lost their jobs
and I'm not glorying in that
but it is a fascinating
aspect of modern society
what happened to
Blockbuster
Right
Would you like to have been there when they realised?
Because it happened like that.
What do you mean?
I was in like...
Straight away.
For all of us, one minute, in my mind,
one minute you're renting out VHSes to teenagers
having sleepovers.
Next minute you are literally obsolete.
I enjoyed that little burp you did.
Is that because you hear it?
It's a little gurgle.
It's because you just drank some water.
Getting excited.
I'm doing all the heavy lifting.
That's why.
Would you not find it a fascinating situation?
How quick life can move on,
the business world can develop and stuff.
Yeah, but you always sort of see those kind of businesses,
and most businesses to be honest,
they're very slow to change their business model.
Massively slow.
Like when Netflix started,
that was like...
Mail order DVDs.
Mail order DVDs.
My dad was banging at them
because he'd copy them. My dad's got a ridiculous collection of DVDs so I passed one up my dad was bagging at them because he'd copy them
my dad's got a ridiculous
collection of DVDs
he would just constantly copy
that's literally a crime
yeah
and he's called Stuart
it was for home use
he's not selling them
on the market or anything
going around the pubs
I mean have you checked that
well
he's in the pub quite a lot
yeah
did they ever tell you
the story about the guy
who tried to sell me
a massive deli block
sized block of cheese I believe you did yes yeah okay and then I went into story about the guy who tried to sell me a massive deli block of cheese?
I believe you
did, yes.
And then I went
into my cheesecake
story where I
tried to use
halloumi to
make cheesecake.
My dad is down
in London for
one night only.
Get him in.
Get your tickets.
Big Larry came
in.
Bring Stewie in.
Bring Stewie in,
yeah.
That walk from
Highbury to
Zinkel is awesome.
Get him a cab.
Get him an Uber.
I am genuinely
thinking about getting
one of those
little scooters. Has he got bad knees? Yeah, his knees are fucked. He's had like walk from Highbury to England. Awesome. Get him a cab. Get him an Uber. I am genuinely thinking about getting one of those little
scooters and scoop
myself up.
Has he got bad
knees?
Yeah, his knees are
fucked.
He's had like three
operations on one
knee.
And he had that sort
of situation where he
didn't want, he's
full of crap my dad,
but he had a situation
where he wouldn't get
himself a walking
stick because that felt
more permanent than the
crutch he already had.
Right, I see.
That makes sense.
And I said, yeah, but dad,
you look like you've just had it. So people are just going to be constantly saying, what's wrong with your leg? Because you've
got these grey, joyless crutches.
So it looks like you've just come out of hospital. Yeah, so I got
him like a
fancy crutch. Did you get him a John Hammond?
What's a John Hammond? With the amber, the mosquito
on the top. No, no, no.
So I went to, so now he's
kind of made peace with the fact
that he's going to have a walking stick
for the rest of his life.
I went into that posh walking stick shop
in New Oxford Street.
Oh, that's nice.
And bought him a nice one.
But there are some fancy,
like duck heads and like you say,
like big old orbs.
Oh, I'll be straight down there.
Oh, man.
Straight down there, yeah.
Proper pimp canes going on.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
Describe the one you got him.
I got him a very simple,
ornate one,
but it's quite simplistic.
Was that for Christmas?
Understated.
Did he like it?
Yeah, I think he did, yeah.
That's nice.
A heartwarming story.
Yeah, I'd chop it down,
but make it a bit shorter
because he's a little buck.
Did he make a copy of it?
What?
Did he make a copy of it?
What do you mean?
His collection.
His pirate.
His pirate's everything
he gets his hands on
take it back
nice
oh dear
good stuff
so what we talk about
so you don't find
that sort of
a fascinating
sort of
well what is the story
technology moves on
and nobody moves on
with it
oh there's like
an absolutely
ridiculous
stat
I haven't got it
in front of me
but it's like
the market value
of the company
was just wiped
in about six months it's the same as I want to but it's like the market value of the company was just wiped in about six months
it's the same as
I want to say
it's the same as
a couple of
camera companies
maybe
who all of a sudden
refused to go digital
well just film
to digital
bang
happened
all of a sudden
literally overnight
no one's buying
film cameras
and films anymore
and that's that
I wonder
where it's going to
happen to podcasts to be honest my mate's dad sorry film cameras and films anymore. And that's that. I wonder where it's going to happen
in a podcast, to be honest.
My mate's dad,
sorry, my mate's friend's dad
sadly passed away.
He was a big photographer,
as is my mate.
The mate's,
the daughter of the dad
who sadly passed away
had all his camera equipment
and basically said, look, do you want this stuff? And said, one of the dad who decided he passed away had all his camera equipment and basically said,
look, do you want this stuff?
And said, one of the pieces, one of the cameras is a Leica.
Obviously, Leica, you know, each piece is like, you know,
three or four grand, beautiful cameras, market leaders,
really understated, classy pieces of work.
And he went, look, that's going to be expensive.
Don't give it to me.
Sell it on eBay.
It's going to be worth it.
She goes, no, I insist.
I insist.
And he was like,
a little bit secretly excited
that he was going to get a Leica.
What turned up was,
it was a Leica,
but it was Leica's first digital camera.
So it was the first digital version of their camera.
He's never used one.
So it was a piece of shit.
It was, you know,
two megapixels kind of,
you know,
still beautifully put together
with all the kind of trappings
of a premium product.
Would have been about
three or four grand back then,
but it's literally worth
a couple of hundred quid.
It's nothing you can do with it.
Now you can do with it, mate.
He's probably not even bothered using it.
He's probably not even bothered using it.
I've got another
Taskmaster update from my friend.
Okay.
I've got another task through.
Task number three.
Before task number two
was even sorted.
Yeah, have you not even found out
that you're a horrific slaughter
of millions of crickets?
It could have all been
in vain.
Yeah.
I don't know yet,
but what I do know is
I've been given,
I got another one through,
task number three.
Yeah.
And I got a £10 note
in the post.
Are you going to join a gang?
Is this initiation stuff? Yeah. £10 note in the post. I you going to join a gang? Is this initiation stuff?
Yeah.
£10 note in the post.
I've got to convince a tattooist to tattoo my face.
No, £10 note in the post,
just simply saying,
turn this into as much money as possible
by the last day of March.
Right, okay.
What would you do?
I'd lie and just give them £1,000.
You've got to do a paper trail.
I'd pay a forger.
If I had more time,
can you still do that thing on eBay
where you pay like a tenner
for a massive box of like DVDs or books or something?
And you could sort through them all
and then try and sell them individually.
Well, I guess so, yeah.
But I mean,
a lot of work for a month, yeah.
I think I'll probably just put it on a football game.
Have a bet.
Yeah.
So I would have turned that into
zero pounds
and that's the best bet
to this week
let's have a little break
we've got loads of emails
to get through
because you know what
I've realised
over the last couple of
shows
we've been wittering on
so much
so we haven't actually
got through hardly any emails
apart from the guy
whose dad used to
dunk him in cold water
and from my point of view the guy who got got annoyed with you for confusing dublin zoo with
belfast zoo um and you've done a couple we haven't got through hardly any so we need to get through
them so let's take a break early get away from here come back and uh read through some emails
you're probably wondering why i'm in a cold, dark room
repeatedly spilling molasses.
The molasses against the classes.
All we need is a reason.
The excellent Radiohead.
That was supposed to be a return to form for Manix.
Yeah.
We always hear it's going to come, but it never comes, is it?
I've got no interest in what they've got to say these days first three albums
excellent
I used to really love
Everything Must Go
I used to love
that was where they were
definitely
what's the one with
motorcycle emptiness on it
first one
it's called
Generation Terrorist
yes
yeah and the one after that
is that the Holy Bible
no
Gold Against the Soul
is in the middle of that
Holy Bible's the first one then
no
Generation Terrorist first Holy Bible's second Mega Gold Against the Soul is in the middle of that. Holy Bible's the first one then? No,
Generation Terrorist first,
Holy Bible second.
Mega 20 track album,
then it's Gold Against the Soul,
then it's the Holy Bible.
Oh, right.
I quite like the Holy Bible
anyway,
is what I was going to say.
That's their best album.
Don't get in touch again
religious people.
Don't ask me!
It's just the album's
called the Holy Bible.
Revolt!
Revolt!
Revolt!
Yeah?
Yeah.
Are you going with that, are you?
Nat West!
Nat West,
Pugliese,
Midlands,
Lloyds!
Black Horse Apocalypse!
Death Persona,
Final Credit!
It's impossible to talk about
the Man Street Preachers these days
without feeling like Alan Partridge.
Why?
Because their politics
were quite juvenile.
Not really.
Are you part of that
breakaway new political party, Pete?
What's this?
Last week,
a bunch of Labour MPs
broke away
to form an independent
new party.
Right, okay.
Are you interested or not?
How's that going to go?
Well, you're a card-carrying
Labour member, are you not?
Well, I'd have to
throw my card away.
And to be honest, my wallet is one of those ones
that affixes to the back of my phone,
and if I ever take out just one card,
the rest start falling out.
Oh, right.
It reduces the structural integrity of the actual wallet.
What you need to do is head to some sort of provincial travel lodge.
I'm led to believe travel lodges now have a business floor
for quiet sleeping for people who are there on business.
Head up to that floor, meet someone,
get one of their business cards,
transfer that into your wallet.
And replace it with a labour card.
Get your labour card out of there.
Well, maybe this new party...
Then you can join Chuck at a Munna.
Has he actually left yet?
Yeah, he's done one.
Has he done one?
Yeah, I've got one of those Insure and Go cards as well.
Insure and Go card?
Annual travel insurance. Yeah, he's done one. Has he done one? Yeah, I've got one of those Insure and Go cards as well. Insure and Go card. Annual travel insurance.
Yeah, HSBC debit card,
Amex, British Airways,
my completely clear card
for my absolute radio,
Discovery Channel,
Pete Donaldson,
look how pleased I look
on the picture.
You look about 18.
And you look,
again, weirdly,
you look like Hitler's son.
Yeah.
Hitler's son sounds like a manic song a Monzo Mastercard
oh you got a Monzo
Ed Babb
a man who saw me in the street and gave me a business card
Ed Babb artist
he's got a good portfolio I recommend him
what's his website
his website is edbab.com
yeah
I didn't feel bad but Ed
and also my provisional driving licence.
Your provisional driving licence,
which you've had, according to this,
since 2013.
It's good, though,
because it's just a cheap way of doing an ID.
Take a test, you absolute layabout.
What a cocaine on these cards.
I'm joking.
I don't know why we're doing that,
but we were going to do emails.
This card got me within about 15 minutes,
not even that,
in about five minutes
of going to a gun range
in Amarillo, Texas,
I was shooting a revolver
thanks to this card
that literally anyone can get
in the UK.
Yeah, I can, man.
Listen, I don't mind about that
in Texas, mate.
I do things differently down there.
Yeehaw!
I'm going to shoot, man.
Some paper.
Hello at LukeandPete.com.
Bust me a couple slugs.
There was a Korean bloke who didn't speak much English,
but he came over to the bloke who was showing us how to shoot a gun.
And he went, I shot clip.
And he'd shot the clip that holds the paper up.
Yeah. And the only advice holds the paper up yeah and the only advice
from the man
in the thing
this guy had a high
powered fucking rifle
it was incredible
piece of machinery
right
and the bloke went
and the bloke was advising us
just said to the man
don't shoot the clip
and that was his only advice
right
what happened when he shot it
it went ping
ping
it ruined a perfectly good clip, quite frankly.
But the bullet could have gone anywhere.
Yeah, he said...
When the bullet goes through the paper,
where does it end up?
Well, at the end, it's kind of like...
The actual sound dynamics is actually quite interesting
if you shouted down it.
Like, stop shooting!
It kind of all goes into a point.
It goes into like a triangle sort of thing.
So any bullet that goes, it can never sort of,
it's only ever going to ricochet down or up.
It's not going to ricochet back at you.
I've got you.
Right back at you.
Hello at lookandpicture.com for the emails, as we always say.
Ryan's got in touch.
Hello, Ryan.
I'm going to put this.
Do you remember that a couple of weeks ago,
we were talking about people who wear polite notice high-vis vests?
Yes. I'm going to put it to bed. Because who wear polite notice high-vis vests. Yes.
I'm going to put it to bed,
because Ryan is about to finish a discussion for us.
Okay.
He says,
Hi, gents, just to weigh in on the high-vis vest discussion.
After spending some time abroad in my early 20s,
I came back to the UK.
Via the high-vis vest.
As I was undecided on what to do next,
I got a job at a local call centre to put a few pennies in the bank.
We were the contact center for magazine
subscriptions to a couple of hundred pretty well-known titles it wasn't the worst job in the
world at the time i believe asbestos removal was still being carried out in all seriousness it was
okay you go through the motions till the ship was finished now i've set the scene one day i got the
nod got the call up to step up from incoming calls and be part of the team whose special job it was
to contact customers of a particular horse riding magazine who were to receive a special gift when subscribing for 12 months.
That said gift, a high-vis jacket with the polite notice on it, was being discontinued.
We had to contact these customers to say the vests were no longer being sent
and the replacement gift of greater or the same value would be sent instead.
This was due to it being confused with that of an actual police officer, the vest were no longer being sent and the replacement gift of greater or the same value would be sent instead.
This was due to it being confused with that of an actual police officer,
which to me was entirely the point.
He said a good 95% were furious at the news,
which confirms they only wanted them
to look like they were on police horses,
the crafty bastards.
That would be late 2012, early 2013.
So I'd imagine any knocking around now
are ones which have slipped through the net.
Keep up the good work
Ryan
that
is the end of that
no it's not
why
because
Ryan
I googled them
I searched on Amazon
for these stupid
tabards
you can still find them
yeah I bet
Equisafety
is the company
who seems to be
selling them on Amazon
I mean this is a subculture
I never thought
we'd be talking about
or even existed
is it a subculture well it's a subculture I never thought we'd be talking about or even existed. Is it a subculture?
It's a subculture of twattery, yes.
You'll decide.
And I've said before I'm trying to reduce
the use of that word, the C word.
You're failing, aren't you?
You're failing your camp.
Yeah, it's like
it's terrible. But there's also ones
in pink, which I quite like for the ladies.
But that doesn't make you
look like a police officer.
The whole idea
that you would wear that
is wearing a high-reflective jacket
that makes you look like
you're a policeman
or a policewoman.
But they've got pink ones,
which is just stupid.
You don't have pink
reflective tie-bards
for policemen.
I've never seen one of those
in the wild.
No.
Ryan,
it may well be that the company
you work for
have stopped sending them, but clearly they are still available. You can buy anything on the wild. No. Ryan, it may well be that the company you work for have stopped sending them,
but clearly they are still available.
You can buy anything on the internet these days.
Pete spends most of his time on the dark web
buying Moroccan black heroin.
Don't you, Pete?
Is Moroccan black heroin?
Because Morocco's a bit of a tourist destination.
I believe it's a form of heroin, yeah.
No, I mean, I was just saying that it's quite a northern part
of the world
to be creating
some hardcore heroin.
Oh, I believe
most heroin comes
from Afghanistan,
doesn't it?
Yeah.
I don't know if
Moroccan Black
is just a nickname
or something.
I don't know.
I don't know if it
actually comes from Morocco.
I'm not a heroin expert.
You don't look like it either.
Ha ha!
Another fat joke.
He's not fat.
Lewis!
Hi, guys.
First time listening to a long-time emailer here. I'm emailing in regards to your request for tragic consequences Ha ha! Another fat joke. He's not fat. Lewis! Hi, guys.
First-time listener, long-time emailer here.
I'm emailing in regards to your request for tragic consequences of pulling a sickie.
My story relates to an incident in the May of 2016.
Chelsea were playing Spurs in a game
that could seal the title for my team, Leicester.
Me and my friends watched the game in our hometown
of Metal Morbry, a few miles outside of Leicester,
as I am aware.
Home of the pork pie?
Correct.
Delicious.
It's where I used to work
at a sandwich factory
which wasn't fun.
As I'm sure you remember
Spurs went two goals up
and looked set to delay
our title win.
That was until
Eden Hazard
curled in an absolute beauty
late on which sent
the whole of the town
into a meltdown.
I remember it well.
Eric Dyer was on a mission
to get sent off.
The story gets more interesting
when I reveal the fact
that the Leicester striker, Jimmy Vardy,
lived not half a mile from the pub that we were celebrating in.
In mind of my friend's wisdom,
we decided it would be a good idea to buy an unholy amount of booze.
He actually says a holy amount of booze from the local shop
and make the short journey to Vardy's house.
Unsurprisingly, most of the other residents of the town
had the same idea.
I haven't mentioned yet the fact that at the time
I worked in the local high school
as a pastoral worker.
So when I arrived at Jamie Vardy's house,
I was shocked to see around 100 or so of the kids
I work with on a daily basis.
At this time, I didn't give it a second thought
and carried on the party.
Looking back, this is a horrendous thing to do,
but at the time I was 19 years of age
and I'd just watched my boyhood club win the Premier League.
So the night progressed and we ended up heading
into the city to carry on the party around 12.30am,
and on the way, I rang the school's office
and left a message explaining I would not be in the next day
as I had the flu.
This is not going to work well.
No, it's not. Not on a day like that.
I got home around 7am the next day
and thought nothing of going to bed and sleeping for the day.
That was around until 9.30 when I was awoken
by a very angry headteacher demanding that I went into work for an
emergency meeting. Safe to say
they didn't believe my flu story and I was
dismissed on the spot. As I left
the school, however, hundreds of prepubescent
teenagers were singing my name and I have no
regrets and would do it all over again. Thanks, guys.
I appreciate the emails are very long, but I couldn't
help but tell the tale.
Yeah, it was never going to end well, that. No, it was obviously
going to be, yeah.
I think when I was younger
I was definitely a lot
more blasé about jobs
and stuff and I used
to quit jobs all the time.
I very much was.
And I used to do things
that would probably
get me sacked
if I got caught as well.
So I understand
the methodology there.
And besides,
if you support a team
like Leicester,
I mean, how often
are they going to win
the Premier League?
Exactly.
They're probably
never going to do it again.
They'll probably be called
something else
by the time they do it again. It'll probably be called something else by the
time they do it again.
It ended up as a great
story on the Luke and
Pete show so all's well
that ends well.
Yeah baby.
What about this from
Josh on fears and
phobias.
A couple of weeks ago
we said how have you
got over your fears and
your phobias?
What's been the
methodology for getting
over them? And Josh has been in touch saying I? What's been the methodology for getting over them?
And Josh has been in touch saying,
I've been listening to the podcast for quite a while,
but I never had a reason to email in.
Now, however, with the topic of overcoming phobias,
I have a story for you.
Since I was young, I had a fear of mannequins.
Right.
I've seen this email,
and it's an interesting way to spell mannequins.
Very much so.
So Josh spells it M-A-N-A-K-I-N-S,
which is sort of, I guess, the phonetic way of spelling it.
So we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Can you get on board with someone being,
I mean, I understand a phobia is an irrational fear,
but can you empathise with someone who's a phobic of mannequins?
Faceless, sexless, yeah.
Yeah, they're not right, are they?
Especially ones sometimes you see where they've got heads
that they're like screaming.
Sometimes they aren't.
They're like coloured in faces.
Their arms are missing.
Sometimes their arms are missing or something.
Yeah, heads, when they have heads.
H&M, I first saw in Osaka, Japan,
the ones in H&M for a couple of years
had kind of Lana Del Rey style eyelashes,
like really low down on the face,
almost at kind of cheek level.
Yeah.
That was a bit spooky.
Anyway, so Josh agrees with you.
He says his fear came from a day
in the shopping centre with his mum.
He says,
when some knobhead teenagers
were messing about near a mannequin
and they knocked the mannequin over
and it hit me on the way down,
I totally freaked out,
ran out of the shop
and begged my mum to go home.
For at least 10 years,
I would never go clothes shopping and I would rely on my mum to go home. For at least 10 years, I would never go clothes shopping
and I would rely on my mum
to buy all my clothes for me.
So when I met my girlfriend,
I was scared
if I told her about my fear,
she would be totally weirded out
and not want anything to do with me.
So,
I put my fear to one side
and we had a date
at the same shopping centre
as the incident.
I then realised
how much worse mannequins had got
when many shops
now put makeup on
them as you've described yeah I had to tell my girlfriend about my fear as I couldn't go into
the shop she then treated my fear by kissing me and we had our first kiss and somehow this would
go a little way of curing my fears I now associate mannequins with a feeling of having my first kiss
I hope this provides you with a good story for the show all the best Josh what a heartwarming tale
uh it's a heartwarming I. It's a heartwarming.
I think it's lovely.
Let's make this a threesome, baby.
Oh, imagine that.
Grab that one.
In the middle of the kiss, the mannequin fell on them again.
And all of a sudden he was kissing like a cold, tough, hard mannequin's head.
Yeah.
Sorry about that, Josh, if you're still listening.
That's what I'm talking about, baby.
I thought it was quite a nice tale.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess a lot of the spookiness
could have been,
if they're our age,
they might remember the film Mannequin
with Kim...
Police Academy,
Sex and the City.
Cattrall.
Cattrall, thank you.
She was the mannequin
what came to life
and did stuff I can't remember.
1997.
Yeah.
Quick one about
feigning illness.
Just a quick one.
Yeah, go for it.
Crisp Andy. Oh, Crisp for it. Crisp Andy.
Oh, Crisp Andy's back in touch.
He's the guy who's never eaten a crisp.
He said he still hasn't eaten one.
He says I still haven't eaten one.
Come in.
Eat a crisp.
Come in and eat a crisp on the show.
You're up, Crisp.
We don't even let people eat in the studio,
but we'll make an exception for Crisp Andy.
Gentlemen!
Apart from those Kit Kats that time,
and that space food.
I don't like hearing people eat things on...
I think you've got to see them when I'm on
Talk Spot
producer
he goes absolutely
mad if there's any
food in the studio
oh really
yeah he hates it
why he just hates
it's bad
it's really unprofessional
has he had Talk Spot
gentlemen
hope you're well
with reference to the
chat about pulling
a sick day
it reminds me of a
story my old boss
told me about
her mate
a few years ago, Scotland were
playing in a qualifier in Glasgow. Said
mate had attended the match and enjoyed a few beers.
Safe to say, he didn't feel well the next day
and called in sick. When he came back into work
the following day, his manager had asked if he
went to the football or if being ill
stopped him. He said he didn't go to the football.
Oh, that's strange, said the boss.
Then who's this? The boss whipped out the
morning paper, which had a picture of the guy in his Scotland top
spewing outside the ground.
So he was ill.
I told you I was ill.
Ted Lee!
That's a good point, actually.
He's not Ted Lee in the football.
No.
He's outside.
I had no clean clothes, so I put my Scotland shirt on.
I happened to be going for a bit of fresh air
because I felt ill.
I was going to pick up some Tixie Licks.
And sadly, I puked everywhere
and it happened to be
on the front of a newspaper.
Get out of that easy.
Apparently he kept his job
but it did result in a strike.
I mean,
I presume it's not a strike
where you don't go into work.
A strike as in
on your personal record
they give you a...
Oh yeah.
It must mean that.
I don't think
you're going to be able
to rabble rouse
the assembled masses.
All we want is a
seize the means of
production because
someone got pissed
and went to the game
and puked everyone
and got caught.
To me, that's not a
balloting issue.
So that cannot mean
that kind of strike.
Oh, wonderful.
Enjoy that crisp Andy.
Cheers crisp Andy.
Get a crisp down you.
Get a crisp down you
make you waste no
waste sunshine.
Maybe start off with
a maze based snack.
