it's the Luke and Pete show I'm Pete Donaldson I'm joined by Luke Moore you all right mate we're
out here yeah I'm all right how are you I'm all right I'm good uh I had a slightly stressful
time getting in today uh two things happened uh I was almost run over because I stepped in front
of a lorry and didn't really...
I was looking at my phone.
Idiot.
I know.
Is that on that main road outside the station?
No, it was literally...
No, I wouldn't do that.
It was just outside my house in Soho.
You shouldn't be doing that much
with a lick in Soho, though, to be fair.
How was a lorry getting down that street?
It was absolutely peeling it around the corner
and I, fair play, had my phone out
and wasn't really paying attention.
That's silly stuff from him, though, that. Silly stuff from me, had my phone out and wasn't really paying attention. That's silly stuff
from him though, that.
Silly stuff from me
but also silly stuff
from me as well.
Yeah, okay.
So I think it was
a 50-50 challenge I think
and he would definitely
have won.
He was definitely angry.
He was definitely
angrier than me
so I won really.
I had someone...
And then I saw...
Sorry, go on.
No, go on.
No, carry on.
Carry on.
This is going to be
a pretty boring interjection
so don't worry about it.
Well, I walked towards my train station
and I saw a gigantic human poo.
What?
In an alleyway.
Come on now.
Really?
Thanks to the Tories' austerity cuts,
the level of homelessness in Soho has increased
because it just does.
If you go out in the streets of London
and you look around,
you can usually tell
who's in power.
There's more homeless people around.
And obviously,
there are just no facilities
for people to
literally go to the toilet,
especially through
the hours of darkness, mother.
And it's a horrible situation.
San Francisco had a problem.
Obviously, they've got
all of the homeless people
get corralled in San Francisco.
And there was actually a map where you could kind of report poops,
like an app sort of thing, where you could report poops,
where you saw some human poo.
And I don't think they got cleaned up.
It was just like a map saying it's not a city.
It's full of shit, really.
But I was just impressed by the girth and the length of the poopy.
I don't know if we want to go back to those dark old days
and talking about poo on this show for half an hour straight.
You started it, mate.
You love chatting about my bum bum
and to a man who on occasion has found himself sans poo.
Yeah, I like talking about the fact that you can't go for a poo.
Yeah, well, exactly.
So imagine me walking past it.
It's people giving it out for free.
I'm like, wow, that was girthy.
You know, I said the other week,
we're giving it away for free.
I said the other week that I got stopped short
on a run
and had to nip into a pub.
Actually happened again
last weekend.
Had to run into
Brockwell Park Lido,
leap over the barrier
and use the toilet there.
Do it in the Lido.
Yeah.
Do it in the water.
No, in the changing room
toilet, Peter, of course.
All I'm saying is
I haven't been anywhere
near Soho,
so anyone who says
I am is a liar.
It was a work of beauty.
It's episode 154
and it's Thursday
the 28th of March
it's my mother's
birthday tomorrow
and it's Mother's Day
on Sunday
it's my friend
Anthony Windrum's
mother's birthday
Mary Windrum's birthday
Mary Windrum
Mary Windrum
she lives in the Orville
in Hartlepool
a lovely part of Hartlepool
what have you got planned
for Christine
for Mother's Day
Christine
I actually ordered
her flowers three weeks ago
because I thought it was Mother's Day a few weeks ago.
So when Mother's Day actually comes around,
they're going to be dead?
No, I realised at the last minute that I'd erroneously,
for some reason, put Mother's Day on a Monday.
I think maybe Taiwan has a different Mother's Day, possibly. I think in the Far is a different Mother's Day possibly
I think in the Far East
they have Women's Day
they celebrate all women
they have all kinds of days
in Japan Valentine's Day
is followed by
White Day and on Valentine's Day the women
give the men presents and on White Day
the men give the women presents and even at work
if you're a boy you get given presents by all of the girls.
People are like, what is that boy doing working here?
What is that boy doing here?
He should be in school.
This is child labour.
I won't be seeing my mother on Mothering Sunday
because Portsmouth are in the Chequotrade Trophy final at Wembley.
So I'm taking her for lunch on Saturday instead.
There's a lad who works at our work who's just started
and he's also a Pompey fan
and he's also had to have that discussion with his mum.
It doesn't come around very often.
And for Portsmouth, Wembley is hallowed turf.
It is, absolutely.
I don't think I've told you this before,
but it sort of struck me one night this evening.
I was flicking through,
I think we were watching something called Netflix
and I flicked back onto the normal TV,
the council telly,
and it was on the sci-fi channel.
Right.
And what they were showing
on the sci-fi channel
was the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle,
The Running Man.
Right.
Remember it?
Classic.
It's about 87.
I don't think I've ever seen it
in full,
but I kind of know the references.
It's so funny.
So for those who haven't seen it,
it is Arnold Schwarzenegger's character
gets accused and convicted
of a crime he didn't commit, namely opening
fire on a bunch of
protesters or revelers or something.
And because it's his dystopian future, by the way, it's made
in the mid-80s, but it's set in
2019, Pete. I love that.
I love that. Why have we not had loads
of tweets about that, like we do every time
they say, this is the time that Marty McFly went forward to.
Anyway, I don't know about you,
but a quick digression.
The 80s imagining of what 2019 or 2020 will be like is amazing.
Well, I mean, we're all wearing multicoloured Leica
and we've got explosive necklaces
haven't we
exactly
so anyway
so this film
so those of you
who haven't seen it
I'll very very quickly
praise you
he's in prison
Arnold Schwarzenegger's
character's in prison
for this crime
he didn't commit
but there's this game show
where they get to
essentially
play the game show
for their freedom
or for a pardon
or something like that
and
obviously
it's a pretty treacherous
game show
to say the least and the chances are you're going to die I think only like they say only two people have ever done it and Schwarzenegger or something like that. And obviously, it's a pretty treacherous game, should I say, at least,
and the chances are you're going to die.
I think they say only two people have ever done it,
and Schwarzenegger obviously does it,
and he becomes the running man.
What is the hunger for winning these games?
You get your freedom.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But anyway, the point is,
the actor who plays Damon Killian,
who plays this sort of really slick American game show host,
and in fact, he's played by an actor
called Richard Dawson, aka
Dickie Dawson, who was married to Diana Dawes
who
was indeed the presenter of
Family Feud, which is the American version of
Family Fortunes. He was a presenter of that for years.
He's dead now, he passed away.
Anyway, this reminded me
that I was watching this film
and it came on years ago with my my
granddad was there have I told you this story no and my granddad was there and on one of the scenes
where Richard Dawson who plays the guy who is the tormentor the bad guy of Arnold Schwarzenegger's
character in The Running Man my granddad just turns around and goes he used to work on my bus. Turns out, to cut a long story short,
Richard Dawson was the conductor on the bus
that my granddad used to drive in Gosport, where I grew up.
He's from Gosport.
He was into theatre and stand-up comedy.
He met Dana Dawes.
He moved to Hollywood and started a career in Hollywood,
became an actor and a presenter, and there he is.
But he's from Gosport,
and he used to work on the same bus as my grandad. I almost don't want to
live in a world where a man
who came from Portsmouth
gets with Diana Dawes. It's not even Portsmouth,
mate. It's Gosport. On Hawley.
It's not even good enough to be Gosport. It's like saying
Hartlepool to Newcastle.
Right. Yeah. Incredible. Or Seaham to Newcastle
or whatever. That's incredible. Mad story, right?
Yeah. Apologies if I've told that before, but it's been a lot of episodes.
No, you haven't. I just like the idea
that your granddad
just really kind of like,
you know,
not even excited,
just went,
he's the way I am, boss.
He's the king of,
he's the king of understatement.
Did I tell you about
when I was watching
Jurassic Park with him?
No.
We were watching Jurassic Park
for the first time
at Christmas a couple years ago.
It's obviously on that Christmas.
That velociraptor
used to live on my street.
And my granddad sat there
and he's absolutely
enraptured by
pun intended, by this movie.
Because obviously it stands up so well
now the special effects are amazing.
I'll run past you again very quickly because it's a funny story.
And we're sat there and my grandad's just there.
I think he's eating like, I don't know,
some sort of Christmas chocolate or something.
He's probably been about 85 at the time.
He's looking at the TV, completely
enraptured. And I'm sitting there, I've noticed how into it he is.
So I'm sat there looking at him, looking at my sister,
and we're laughing.
And I say to my gran, and the scene comes along
where the electric fences go down.
And you see the T-Rex's big claw just sort of over the top
of the fence, starts to pull the fence down to walk through.
And I look to my grandad, and I just whispered to him,
grandad, the fences are down. And he just looked looked at my granddad and I just whispered to him, granddad,
the fences are down.
And he just looked back at me,
horror on his face and just went,
it's going to be a bloodbath.
That is adorable.
It's brilliant.
It's going to be a bloodbath.
Yeah, anyway,
so that's what's been
flying in my boat this week.
I also found out that,
did you see this thing
about speed limiting technology?
No.
Isn't that just like... So you're not going to be able to take as much speed as you normally do. Is this going to be about speed limiting technology? No. Isn't that just like...
So you're not going to be able to take as much speed as you normally do?
Is this going to be about sprained ankles?
No.
I keep sending you stuff about the world's tallest ever man, don't I?
Yeah, you sent me this shoe.
That's a massive shoe.
Size 37.
If you want to fuck the world's tallest man, fuck the world's tallest man.
Just don't send me stuff about him.
He died in the 30s or something.
Well, it's Yuma's gigantic grave.
Eight foot 11. And bought a town. Eight or something. Well, Exuma's gigantic grave in Gorter Town.
8 foot 11.
You could live inside his chest cavity.
If his ribs are still there,
you could use it as like a tent.
Where's he shopping for clothes?
That's what I want to know. Well, he's not.
They're all bespoke.
Back then, you used to get Gorter tailors
all the time, didn't you?
No, I think I never forgot
poor family.
It's only now that we...
Even a poor family would have
bespoke clothes, I reckon.
Or recut clothes
maybe some men clothes
and make them smaller
bigger stuff like that
maybe get his mum to make them
exactly
I was just going to say
I read that the
the EU have agreed
that from 2022
vehicles are going to be limited
in terms of the speed
they can drive on
and they're going to have
black box recorders
on them as well
so you can't be saying
I was doing about 20
and I mowed down
that massive bus stop
of pedestrians but I was only going 20 miles I mowed down that massive bus stop of
pedestrians, but I was
only going 20 miles an
hour.
They can pull the
black box recorder
around and go,
actually, you were
going 70 or whatever.
As a non-motorist...
Yeah, I was interested
in that because you
can't drive, so I
wondered.
I think that's fine.
I don't think anyone...
You know when people
complain that they get
caught parking in
somewhere they
shouldn't park?
I mean, it says don't
park there, so don't
park there.
Yeah, true.
If you've got an argument, if the sign's up saying don't park there
and you park there, it's like, oh.
There's only five minutes.
Well, it says don't park there, so.
Yeah.
You were unlucky.
You're fairly unsympathetic.
I think according to these new rules that are going to be agreed,
you can still override it.
You can still, like, if you need to get out of trouble,
you can hit this accelerator.
Boom.
Slam your foot on the gas, Pete. Pedal to the metal and be away.
As most of these systems, and if I was more business-minded,
the first thing I would do is set up a business,
hacking into these cars and fixing it so you can go as fast as you bloody want.
Well, I imagine that'll be a cottage industry that will open up straight away.
Massively.
When everyone closes the door,
someone else goes,
I'll fix it for you.
Do you put Blu-Tack
over your laptop's webcam?
No.
If someone really wants
to watch me wanking,
they can.
At PeteWanking.com.
Is that right?
I don't really understand
this kind of fascination
with...
I'm fairly certain...
I'm sure there's ways
around it,
but I'm fairly certain
just a basic
browser-based hack would,
the Mac has a light on it every time the webcam comes on, doesn't it?
Yeah.
And I'm fairly certain that is hard-coded into the actual camera's firmware,
hardware side rather than software side.
So I think most times if you turn it on, the light will come on.
Do you know why I do it?
Why?
Because I saw a video insert VT in a news bulletin of Mark Zuckerberg.
Even he's doing it, yeah.
And he had it on there.
And I thought, well, if he's doing it.
Well, he's got secrets.
He's got, you know, he's probably of more interest.
He's got secrets, but he's also got means.
You think he'd have some sort of pretty good internet security.
Yeah.
I mean, you're Mark Zuckerberg, for fuck's sake.
He's part internet.
I mean, we joke about you being part internet.
Did you see him at that hearing
he is part internet
he looks like
there's that beautiful shot
where he's got quite red eyes
and he's being
he's been hauled over the course
about something
in some kind of court
I forget what it was
it was
I can't
it was something about the
it's the election
I think it's the election
it's the election
yeah I think so yeah
and he's got really red eyes
and there's
the rest of his
the rest of his skin is quite is it pallor or sallow I forget I think so, yeah. And he's got really red eyes and the rest of his skin is quite...
Is it Palo or Salo?
I think both works.
But Pallid.
Pallid, yeah.
Pallid works, yeah.
A Pallid complexion.
And he looks like he's been bitten by a zombie
but he doesn't want to tell anyone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaking of Arnold Schwarzenegger,
have you checked out his TikTok?
Can I just say, before you do that,
he always reminds me of someone
who looks like he's playing the lead
in a ultra-futuristic remake of Pinocchio.
I love that, yeah.
Where it's not a puppet,
it's actually like a hand-drawn.
It's a human, yeah.
That'll be next after Dumbo.
Yeah.
Have you seen Arsenal?
Arnold Schwarzenegger's TikTok is wonderful.
It's like videos of him chasing after a tiny horse
on a BMX.
And he's wearing a leather jacket and a cowboy hat.
This is what the founding fathers
of the internet imagined. This is what TikTok's
all about. And then he feeds the tiny
donkey a carrot.
If someone said to me, the internet
is going to wreak all this havoc upon the world
in a presentation and I had the
decision whether to turn it off or on or not, and they
ended with that video, I'd say on the balance
to be honest, on the balance of all that, I'm
actually going to say, we're going to stick with it.
Leave it on.
Yeah.
What is TikTok again?
Chinese social media.
It's a Chinese,
I think it's Chinese
and I think you can
do miming.
So they've got loads
of audio clips,
I think,
that they produce themselves
of famous songs,
famous licensed TV comedy clips and stuff
and you could basically mime to them basically
and do it.
And that's how it started.
People use them to upload any video now.
Yeah, I think so.
But I think it's a bit like Vine, I guess.
You're kind of,
there's very short clips
where you're just dicking about really.
Right.
But it's become incredibly popular with the youth.
The youth.
The youth, them.
Yeah. All right, cool. Peter, should we have a little break? Yes. But it's become incredibly popular with the youth. The youth. The youth, then. Yeah.
All right, cool.
Peter, should we have a little break?
Yes.
And then after that, we're going to do some emails.
It should be exciting.
It should be.
The great Simon Le Bon.
A little kiss is all we need.
It's actually quite hard for people who can sing to sing out of tune.
Do you ever notice that?
Yeah.
Is that a burp?
That was one of those burps that you don't really sell.
It's a no-sell burp.
I find it very easy to burp out of tune.
It sort of wobbles out of your throat.
Sometimes I do it on air,
but luckily I've usually got a bit of music underneath me.
Seriously, everyone listening,
if you're at home and you're on your own
and there's no one going to judge you or whatever,
in fact, if there is, don't worry about it,
and you know for a fact that you can sing,
challenge yourself to try and sing a song out of tune
and it's very difficult.
Okay.
Not you.
You can hold a tune, that's okay.
I can hold a tune.
The email address is hello at lukeandpeatshow.com.
Hello.
We're sort of not drowning under it.
We're definitely drowning rather than
waving under the weight
of all the emails,
which is fantastic.
Thank you very much.
We're trying to work
our way through them.
As a result, we're
normally a little bit
behind.
Pete, have you got
one to hand?
I've got one from
Sam Wingrove.
Go on, mate.
I think Sam was
in the email before,
hasn't he?
You crack on with it.
Oh, she could be a
she.
Hello, chaps.
Further to a couple
of mentions of
Little Latin Deck
feeling the wrath of
Bruce Willis. I'm hoping I can add to the archive of Tales of Little Ant and Dec feeling the wrath of Bruce Willis,
I'm hoping I can add to the archive of Talesmark's
celebrity speed utter shits to children.
Oh, good.
In 2005, Zach Braff was the subject of Ashton Kutcher's
prank show Punk'd.
Remember that?
I do remember it.
The basic premise being that after entering a liquor store
with his Scrubs co-star and Punk'd co-conspirator
Donald Faison, a couple of kids would set about Braff's
brand new Porsche with spray paint.
After seeing this, Braff would then presumably
ruffle the young scallywags and send them on his way
or their way.
Unfortunately for the child actor involved,
Braff decided to take a different route.
After a short chase, the whippersnapper is caught
and Braff decides to hand out what is sometimes referred to
as a fucking good hiding.
Oh my God.
And at this point, does he not know?
He doesn't know, no.
Yeah, okay.
After alternating
between punches to the stomach
and screaming obscenities
at the child,
the production team
finally step in
and alert Braff
to what is happening.
Suffice to say,
the segment was heavily
edited when aired,
but still did enough
to put Denton Braff
squeaky clean in it.
That's funny,
because you wouldn't
expect it of him,
because he's the sort of
No, I would definitely
Really?
Yeah, he's got some
darkness in his soul.
Isn't he that sort of
Godfather of Mumblecore
type indie movie Garden State, I Love the Shins type kind of guy? Yeah, he's got some darkness in his soul. Isn't he that sort of Godfather of Mumblecore type indie movie,
Garden State,
I Love the Shins type kind of guy?
Yeah.
Obviously, which launched him.
But I suppose,
if you're having a bad day
and that happens,
people can just flip their wig,
can't they?
Well,
if you are that squeaky clean
and you're, you know,
supposedly a force for good
and it's just,
and somebody, you know,
if somebody drew on my car,
I'd be like, I don't care, I don't have a car. That's not my car, dickhead. So it's on you, somebody, you know, if somebody drew on my car, I'd be like,
oh,
I don't care,
I don't have a car.
That's not my car,
dickhead.
So it's on you,
you've punked yourself.
Congratulations,
you just played yourself.
Self-punked,
SP'd,
but yeah,
it's,
yeah,
I,
I'm,
he looks a bit,
like he's got a bit of darkness
in his soul,
doesn't he?
Like,
you've got a bit of a temper on you.
Yeah.
It's not,
it's not physically dangerous,
but it is quite,
it can explode.
You've never seen me go that hard.
I've never seen you
at full capacity
what's the most
I've seen you at
out of 100%
70%
70%
I've got more
in my tank
you're more baffling
than intimidating
it's kind of like
what's happening with this
it's like a labyrinth
I let you into a labyrinth
and you never get out
it is a bit like that
you'll never find me
or the mine at all
and if I'd gone that way
I'd have gone straight
to the castle
what about this
from Casey Cook?
He says,
I really enjoyed the discussion
on Empire of the Summer Moon,
which is a book I talked about
a week or so ago
about the Comanche Indians.
Casey gets in touch
with this bit of information, Pete.
Nearly all of your road trip
from Denver to Austin
was in Comanche territory.
Is that right?
So you would travel through it.
He says,
it's really hard to grasp
the size and variety of
territory they controlled until you see it close up.
I'm just saying on the show, I think it's something
like to the tune of 240,000
square miles, which is incredible
really. The change in altitude
from Austin to Amarillo, which
are both in Texas, is
3,200 feet. So what is
rain in Austin will be a hard-driving
sleet or snow mixture in amarillo
roughly 500 miles equivalent distance to london to hanover in germany rolling plains high arid
desert all the way up to the rocky mountains as a texan it was amazing to read just how incredible
these people were it should be required reading for all students in the united states and especially
colorado new mexico oklahoma and oklahoma and tex. Love the show. Thanks, Casey. So further context to what were a really fascinating
and impressive group of people.
They were also horrendously violent.
And some of the stuff in that book does not bear repeating on a family show.
But be warned if you do go and check it out.
Hey, you've got to defend your land.
Empire of the Summer Moon.
That is by S.C. Gwynne.
Have you ever been to Amarillo?
I have never been to Texas. There's a great... Oh, I love Texas. It's one of the best Moon. That is by S.C. Gwynne. Have you ever been to Amarillo? I have never been to Texas.
There's a great...
Oh, I love Texas.
It's one of the most places I'd probably live.
There's a beautiful art installation
where they've just jammed a lot of Cadillacs into the ground.
Oh, I can see that.
And you climb on there and spray paint them.
And it's just littered with cans,
empty spray-painted cans where people have spray-painted them.
I think politically,
it's kind of like a ranch.
Politically, you would find it
very difficult to live in Texas, Peter.
Why?
Well, because you're already
complaining about the Tories here.
I mean, Texas, my goodness me.
Yeah, well, that's okay, yeah.
Yeah, a little liberal enclave.
A little enclave.
This is the email that,
when I first read it,
I didn't know if it was real or not,
and I do not want to be
in any way disrespectful of Giles,
who's got in touch about it.
So I'm going to take it on face value,
because I think that's probably the best way to approach it.
A very interesting angle and something I've never encountered before.
So do you remember when we started talking about phobias?
And you said, I think it was all kicked off by the fact that you said
you've got a phobia of seeing rolled ankles.
And then someone got in touch and said,
I've got a phobia of broken glasses, as in spectacles.
Well, this is another one
on that vein,
and it's from Giles,
and he says,
in the vein of making myself
look strange
to give you guys
some show content,
I'm going to tell you
about my phobia of
stickers.
As in, like,
panini stickers?
I can't explain why, really,
and I have no issues
with stickers and albums
and places that they belong.
I was an avid
Premier League sticker album collector in my youth. But but essentially the idea of having a sticker on my
clothes makes me feel very irritated and bordering on ill I think it started as a kid when friends
would stick their swaps to bedposts and also the kids at school who would put their granny smith
apple stickers on their contact books on their textbooks and this wasn't even anything to do
with me or my belongings however I still couldn't stop thinking about it two scenarios i've been in more than once
that have made me really uncomfortable were donating money to the lifeboat charity and
really offending the lady by refusing one of the little stickers as well as the terror of having
to wear a name badge at group-based interviews and inevitably having to try and concentrate on
being professional rather than the horrible sticky intruder on my shirt. I appreciate this is irrational,
but I wondered if any of your listeners can relate.
I have Googled this and couldn't find anything
about this specific phobia.
Keep up the good work, Giles.
Well, it's kind of weird.
It's like a, I think it's a situation where you have a,
because the sticker doesn't really,
if you put it on clothes,
it kind of floats off the fibres, isn't it?
So that's actually quite a bit eerie, I think.
There were a lot of people on the march.
You see them all around town now, all those little yellow...
We don't want a Brexit stickers all over the place.
We don't want a Brexit.
We don't want a Brexit or whatever they say.
I don't want a war like that.
Speak, the Hungarian rapper.
We don't want a war.
And you see them quite a lot all over the gaff.
But I saw a lot of people putting them on, like suede and stuff.
I was like, oh, you're just going to get the fibres all sticky.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't have a fibre.
I don't really have a phobia of the fibres,
but clearly this man does.
How do you get on with wearing football shirts
in this really hot studio, by the way?
You have a real...
I think you have a phobia of wearing football shirts.
Like, because you think
if you sweat... It makes me feel very
clammy. Clammy? Yeah.
Because Charlie works here. He wears football shirts
all the time in the office. How do you get away wearing that?
Doesn't it make you feel clammy? Well, it's a lighter shirt than you would
usually wear. He says it's much more cool.
Yeah. That's what they're designed
for. I don't really understand.
Yeah, anyway. What the problem is. Yeah, what have you got there, mate?
Oh, what have I got there?
Hello to Brad. Hi, Brad, from Century,
which sounds like a lovely place to be.
Century? Century. That's not the radio station, is it?
Is that still going, Pete?
I think it might have been absorbed by
either the Bauer Corporation or the Global Corporation.
I always forget. Right.
Way back in episode 87, there was talk of a pharmacist
having a look through pictures in order to select the proper medicine
to prescribe for a rash, only to flip too far through the photo album
to see a toilet slash poop egg.
I love this. Yeah, I remember that. That's good.
This awakened a deep, dark memory from when me and my wife
were still dating back around 2011.
She had a cousin, who I knew as well,
who was having a big family dinner thrown for him
upon his discharge from the military.
We were sitting near him at the table,
among probably 50 or other family members,
when he passed his phone over for us to see
a few recent pictures of his daughter.
I know where this is going.
In a fatal error of ignorance,
my wife and I swiped one picture too far,
and what was there was still burned into my memory,
nor my family pictures,
but rather a picture of his wife going down on him.
I'll spare you any other details.
Oh, for goodness sake.
What an angle, Lord.
John Ford quality scene arrangement.
My wife quickly swiped back,
said, wow, she's beautiful,
and we never spoke of it again,
not to this day.
That is crazy.
Check your album
for a few good pictures
front and back
before you hand the phone over
for viewing.
I mean, look,
if you're in the Marines
or you're in the military,
that's, you know,
you're away for a long time.
Yeah.
You need something.
Yeah, but I mean, you've got to be self-censoring that kind of stuff.'re away for a long time yeah you need something yeah but I mean
you've got to be
self-censoring
that kind of stuff
put it in a folder
and also it's the
expectation versus
the reality
if you say to me
look at this picture
of this mad
I don't know
like this mad stunt
or this guy
parachuting from
whatever
and then you flick
too far
and you see a sexy pic
it's not as jarring.
You don't want to see it.
You're like, oh, that's a bit weird.
But if someone says to me,
look at this picture of my beautiful
four-year-old daughter or whatever it is.
And then it goes right to that.
I think even if you enjoy a picture
of your beautiful daughter
and then you're knowing full well
that the picture is next door,
I don't think you're going to enjoy either picture.
No.
Exactly, yeah.
It's tainted.
It's like Ricky Gervais
Does a good bit
Of his most recent stand up
Where he talks about
Looking at other people's kids
And he says
You've got a sweet spot
Of how you can say
They're beautiful
Because if you go
Really quickly
Oh yeah they're beautiful
It looks like you haven't
Taken the time
But if you go too slowly
And go
Oh yeah
She's really beautiful
It looks like
You've got to go in the middle
You've got to go
Right in the middle
You've got to be so careful
Haven't you
Yeah absolutely
I may have actually Looked at my camera roll beautiful you've got to go in the middle you've got to write in the middle yeah absolutely the um
uh i may actually uh looked at my camera roll um last week and he sort of said like most of my
camera roll is just screenshots of other stuff yeah like just screenshots of other stuff um
there's a lot of willies in there but they're not mine um they're just little kind of um pictures
that i've kind of photoshopped and stuff. I find Willy's endlessly hilarious. Yeah, I would agree with that.
I've had two really bad stinkers over the last couple of weeks.
So I noticed that there's a band I really like called Secret Machines,
and they put out a show.
So I went to a gig by the Secret Machines about 15 years ago,
something like that, and it was brilliant.
It was one of the best gigs I've ever seen.
And I always talk about,
I always talk about,
whenever it comes up,
people ask those kind of boring pub questions.
I'll always like list it as a brilliant show.
They were sponsored,
they were supported by M83,
or I also like,
anyway,
it was just brilliant.
And it's off the back of one of my favorite albums,
their first album,
which is now,
now here is nowhere.
Anyway,
imagine my surprise when I saw on a recommended link on my Facebook page about two weeks ago,
oh, we've finished the poll and the voters come in and the secret machines at the garage in 2004 or whatever
has been voted as the one we're going to make and we're going to press this into a vinyl and you can buy it.
And I was like, fucking hell, amazing, right?
So straight away away obviously only available
in the US
so I went
they're from Texas
they're from Austin
I think actually
weirdly enough
maybe
something like that
straight on there
40 quid for the vinyl
or whatever it is
10 quid for delivery
I was like great
got it
it's a limited
present of 500
took a screenshot
of the prospective
album cover
sent it to my mates
on the group chat
and got a load
of laughing emojis back.
And it's not the gig I actually went to.
The one I went to was Electric Ballroom down the road.
This is a completely different show. And then secondly,
I bought a record the other day
by a band called New Age,
because their artwork
looks amazing, and it's like,
I was like, fucking hell, that's brilliant. I'm going to buy that.
I love New Age.
Bought that. Again, mate got in touch.'m going to buy that. I love New Age. Bought that.
Again, mate got in touch.
It's not New Age.
It's No Age, a completely different band.
New Age is some sort of medieval metal band.
I've never heard them before.
Can I introduce you to something I like to call streaming technology?
Yeah, I should have done that.
I think you're mugging yourself off every time. A lot of my photos are basically sending pictures to you.
Big shoes.
This big walrus over the top of a submarine hatch.
He looks heavy and sleepy, doesn't he?
Tons of tons of blubber.
And yeah, sending pictures of my cats to you
and sending pictures of Robert Wadlow,
the tallest ever man's poses, shoes, clothes,
things he got up to.
Did you see that animal?
I had a picture on my camera roll of it.
Ooh, Pete and Luke's camera roll of that animal.
I can't remember.
It looks a bit like a water hoggy kind of character.
But he's basically the horns.
What do you call them?
The tusks.
Tusks, yeah.
This animal, the male tusks can grow to such an extent
it actually pierces their own brain and kills them.
Isn't that incredible?
That is fairly... I'm led to believe that is fairly common in the rodent community right that's what they
have to sharpen their so if you get a gerbil or a hamster whatever otherwise that's what they've
got to sharpen their teeth because they just keep growing and they and i think they pierce their own
brains gross that's what i've heard before wow uh paul from birmingham hello paul from birmingham
good evening chaps came across an interesting and somewhat disturbing story
that is almost certain
to result in a trademark
goodness me
from Mr Donaldson
good though
I read about how
in the 1970s
a real corpse
was used in a
Californian fun parks
fun house
what?
to make things more interesting
the corpse wasn't
just any old corpse
it was the corpse
of a famous bank
and railway robber
and was only discovered
when a crew member
for the film
Six Million Dollar Man
who were filming parts of the film at the park,
attempted to move the corpse, which he thought was
a model, and inadvertently pulled its arm
off. I know this is hard to believe, much like
a small child munching on frozen sausages and living
to tell a tale, but just like Pete's frozen meat
escapades, this is also 100% true.
I've included a link to the article below and also
a short YouTube video as well.
Real bodies are used
in films, or they certainly used to be used in films,
a lot more often than you'd like to think about.
Yeah, famously, Apocalypse Now,
I think, used dead human bodies for a bit, I think,
and they got busted for it, obviously, because it's horrific.
Life is cheap, baby.
Well, no, I think it's legal to do.
I think you can buy skulls and skeletons and bones. I think they shot it in the Philippines, and I don't think it was legal to do I think you can buy skulls and
skeletons and
bones
I think they
shot it in the
Philippines
and I don't think
it was legal at
the time there
and I think the
authorities got
involved
I think
there's an
amazing
Apocalypse Now
like fucking
15 DVD set
the Apocalypse Now
Redux version
which I think
has got a
documentary on it
and I'm
freestyling here
because this is like 20 years ago when i had it
uh i think dennis hopper might be high the entire time even in the documentary as well um but yeah
so it has been has been done before but that seems a bit rich i mean that's gonna there's gonna be
kids knocking about there well it's gonna be stinking isn't it i don't know how it must have
somehow kind of uh like it must have gone a bit waxy yeah you think'd think so. You'd think you'd be like because it
would absolutely
re couldn't it.
Yeah all right
listen hello at
LukeandPeach.com for
those of you who
were tempted to get
in touch but haven't

love to hear from
you.
Love to know what
you think about the
film Us.
Have you seen that?
Love to know that
was me suppressing
another burp.
Love to hear if
you've got any
sort of speculative
and quite tenuous
claims to fame in
the line of that bus conductor
I was talking about earlier,
who turned out to be Family Fortunes host and actor,
Richard Dawson.
Not Richard Dawkins.
That's someone different.
And yeah, we'll see you on Monday.
