bees live in women's eyes black holes are being photographed it's a heady time to live in the
world today and we've got a halloween extension for brexit as well how could i forget why are
they bringing halloween into this i like hallow. How could I forget that? Why are they bringing Halloween into this?
I like Halloween.
How could I forget the third story that makes up the Holy Trinity of today's news?
Brexit extended to Halloween.
A lot of people having a go at that black hole picture saying it's not very good.
What are you expecting?
Get a life.
The first comment I saw was that was taken on Android.
The second one was, I'd fuck it.
I love it. There's no pleasing people,
some people,
because I think that
original composite image
or whatever,
the data for it
was compiled in like 2017
and it took two years
to bring it to fruition.
By the way,
it's 50 million light years away.
First complaint,
it's a bit blurry, isn't it?
A bit blurry, isn't it?
What are you expecting?
What,
fucking HDR,
high def graphics?
Yeah,
what are you expecting? It's the Luke and Pete high def graphics? Yeah, what are you expecting?
It's the Luke and Pete show,
episode 158.
I'm Luke Moore.
That's man to my left.
Although, interestingly,
on Monday he was to my right,
but he's to my left today,
wearing a cardigan,
got a sore neck.
It's Pete Diggory Donaldson.
Hi there.
I hurt my neck in the gym
and then I slept on a sofa.
Did you even lift?
No, not today, Don.
Why did you sleep on a sofa?
Because I slept on a sofa at work for
four hours. This is depressing.
Is this the start of a depressing tale? No.
Well, my dad is staying
in my house and he
and I realised
my spare keys didn't have the outside key on it
so I could get in. I couldn't get
as far as my own front door. So I could get
into my front door, I just don't have the outside key,
which is problematic.
And my dad, when he goes to bed,
turns his phone off,
which is excruciatingly annoying.
And also, he's incredibly deaf.
So when I was ringing the doorbell to be let in,
he couldn't hear me.
So I sat to sleep at work for four hours
until he woke up at his ripe old time of 4am.
I'm sorry, mate.
This is depressing, I'm afraid.
I've lost for words here.
How is the planning so important that this is even possible?
Because I've got some spare keys at work,
but I was in this situation about five months ago
where I forgot that my outside key isn't on that key ring
because I lost that key.
And it can't be copied because it's one of those special ones right you gotta go to your landlord for so is your dad to blame for this was he was he apologetic half and half
was he was he apologetic this morning no he just laughed at me he said uh you're up late I've been
I slept on a sofa you prick so did he he insists on sleeping on the sofa to martyr himself
oh all right okay um how are relations between Stewie and PT generally fine we're off for a So did he. He insisted on sleeping on the sofa to martyr himself. Oh, right, okay.
How are relations between Stewie and PT generally?
Fine, we're off for a steak tonight.
Nice.
A succulent steak dinner.
And you're off to see Rich Hall with him tomorrow?
No, no, no.
My dad's seeing Rich Hall tonight.
Oh, okay.
He's on at like 9.30.
So you're going for dinner first,
but you're not accompanying him to Rich Hall? No, I've got to go to work,
but he loves Rich Hall.
I can't figure...
I couldn't tell you
what Rich Hall does. Like I've seen him do
stand up but it's a little bit political
maybe a little bit Hicksian but
he sings country songs doesn't he
Yeah a bit of that I think. He does a lot of panel
shows which he certainly used to
Yeah he does
My dad can't get enough of him. He's crazy
Speaking of sleeping at work I remember when I
worked at one of my old jobs
and there was a guy
I worked with called Callum
who
I guess had a similar situation
or he stayed out too late
couldn't get home or whatever
and he ended up sleeping
on one of the sofas at work
because obviously the past
meant he could get into work
and when I turned up
at work in the morning
I think I was there
quite early for some reason
he was asleep on one of the sofas
in like a breakout area
but he had a
a company branded scarf
tied around his face.
I used a scarf to do it last night.
Yeah, because every time you moved
the lights come on.
Yeah.
And so otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.
So as a make sure sort of eye mask
he had this scarf.
So what it looked like had happened
because he was like in the fetal position
it basically just looked like
he'd been kidnapped
and dropped off at his own place of work.
So yeah, that can happen.
I used to spend a lot of time sleeping
when I used to work for XFM,
now Radio X, I believe,
in the drum room.
Now, if you know studios,
they're pretty well insulated sound-wise,
so they're the perfect sleeping place.
And I used to sleep in,
I didn't have a sleeping bag,
but have you noticed
those really crinkly,
grey post bags you have in offices?
Yes.
Don't tell me you've got one of those.
I've got one of those,
like a little sack.
Like you're going to be a sack race.
Like I'm going to be birthed into a beautiful Peter Butterfly.
At that age, you should have been participating
in the sack race at one of your children's sports days.
But as your life didn't work out that way,
you're sleeping inside the sack at work.
We walk...
Why didn't you go home?
I can't remember.
I think it was just too late.
I was on the breakfast show, wasn't I?
So you only get a few hours.
But I hilariously
we hilariously walk up
remember Squidgy Rich
who I used to live with
yes I do
he filmed a couple of the
early Football Rumble videos
by virtue of the fact
he was my housemate
yeah
and he
was also sleeping on the sofa
at one point
and we
as an amazing breakfast show skit
decided to wake him up
on
on
on the radio
his first word was
cunt.
That's always going to be a
potential backfiring of that particular
prank. Fuck off you cunt. Really.
Pete, let's talk about
small intersex living inside
women's eyes. Yeah, I had
a little favourite on that story, so I'm thinking
that needs to be discussed. Is this the
start of a trend?
Because in Taiwan,
you've been there,
a young Taiwanese woman.
It was a graveyard, wasn't it?
A Fu Yin University Hospital in Taiwan
described the incident as a world first.
I mean, like,
they're taking some sort of claim for it.
By the way,
I think this is a world first.
You're not walking on the moon.
It's in cancer, mate.
You found some insects in some eyes.
Or in AI.
Yeah.
In a tear duct, apparently.
Four of them.
I mean, how small could they be?
They must be absolutely tiny.
But just having that kind of irritation
and then something living coming out.
Oh, the satisfaction.
I've seen a leech being removed from a guy's nose before.
That's just...
He just had a nosebleed for a couple of days.
He was like, I better get this checked out.
Yeah.
But if I'm thinking, that leech is wasteful.
You shouldn't really... Surely, if you never have a nosebleed, you might have a leech I'm thinking, that leech is wasteful. Yeah. You shouldn't really,
surely,
if you never have a nosebleed,
you might have a leech up there
because that leech is going to town.
Yeah, true.
Having a lovely old time.
Probably the best place for the leech.
Maybe they should prescribe them
for nosebleeds.
I mean,
I mean,
presumably,
I mean,
the bees have to be tiny in this,
right?
Yeah.
I've read another thing saying
that like,
they're not actually that small. Well, for the picture seems like they're not that, they're not that small. They're little ants in this, right? Yeah. I've read another thing saying that they're not actually that small.
Well, for the picture, it seems like they're not that small.
They're little ants, don't they?
Yeah, I think maybe they grew.
They don't live very long, do they?
This is a perfect, in the Venn diagram,
dictionary definition of Luke and Pete's show story.
Oh, it's bodily, it's disgusting.
Yeah.
It involves crying women.
Yeah, yeah. And horrible little louses in your women. Yeah, yeah.
And horrible little louses in your eye.
Oh, dear.
I remember waking up this morning feeling a bit confused saying,
what four bees have been found inside a black hole on Halloween?
I think, yeah, waking up to that,
I mean, that is a confusing story, isn't it?
Yeah.
We had a story on here where a guy,
you had some things living in his head,
and he had to put Vaseline on it.
Do you remember?
Oh, yeah yeah to make the
to starve them of oxygen
essentially
yeah
so it can happen
she could have just
crunched them
if she just rubbed her eye
hard enough
she would have just
crunched them
apparently Pete
if she had rubbed her eye
she would have literally
lost her sight
oh yeah
that's why you're not a doctor
give it a little rub
just do it now
give it a little rub
yeah
really
a horrific story
and of course
Julian Assange has been excavated
from the Ecuadorian embassy.
Arrested in a very similar fashion
to a succulent Chinese meal.
Yeah.
A lot of people making that connection,
but it's enjoyable.
Being carried out.
It's lovely to...
I can't remember which one it is.
I think it's this one.
She's going to report me for...
Not that one.
Gentlemen,
this is...
Democracy Manifest.
I saw another tweet
which I enjoyed
of someone asking
does anyone know
what season
the football manager
he was on?
You said he must have been
off camera,
off microphone.
You said that he,
the amount of an
organism that must have
been taken place
in there.
True, but he was Pamela Anderson's girlfriend.
Was he though?
He was, yeah, massively.
She went in there to see him once.
That was it.
No, they were knocking Ecuadorian boots.
That brings into a whole new perspective the visit of Nigel Farage,
who I believe also went to see him.
A booty call.
Yeah.
Well, I just think there's absolutely no way a man of that age
who literally cannot leave the house
is not embarking on giving himself a little treat from time to time.
That's what I'm saying.
I'd love to know the arrangements.
Pam Landerson pop round, as I said.
Yeah, but I'd love to know the arrangements.
I mean, that's a fuck you to anyone who's like single and celibate,
you know, looking.
Yeah, true.
Sort of going, he's got Pamela Anderson
and he never leaves the house
is there not
an interest from your end
Pete
because there certainly is on mine
about the arrangement
he had in the embassy
could he go to the fridge
help himself to
a cup of tea
he had a little
he had a little corner
little room didn't he
yeah
apparently smashed up a few times
because of frustration
oh really
I mean you would be frustrated
really wouldn't you but I suppose what's going to happen to him now then Pete well he's apparently smashed it up a few times because of frustration I mean you would be frustrated really
wouldn't you
but
I suppose
what's going to happen
to him now then Pete
well he's
I don't know
I don't know
if he'll get extradited
but he'll probably get
won't he go back to Sweden
because he didn't face
the charges
the rape charges
did he
right so he'll be
extradited will he
I presume he'll go
north rather than west
because the American
definitely won't have
a chat
because he's been
like
WikiLeaks has been
leaking every
Russian every Russian piece of information they been like WikiLeaks has been leaking every Russian
every Russian piece
of information
they've used
WikiLeaks as a
as a vessel
for everything to get out
the clues in the name
isn't it
yeah
all of the DNC
stuff I think
came to them didn't it
yeah
apparently so
I'm not being kept
I'm not really kept up
with the story
to be honest
I've got to the age now
where if something
gets too difficult
to understand
I just suck it up
I was like
the Israeli like I was looking at the Israeli election I was like, the Israeli, like, I was
looking at the Israeli election, I was like, Netanyahu
is like, he's aligning himself with
he's got more and more right wing and
the idea of any
Palestinian rights isn't even on the table for any
of the people who are going
for the Israeli premiership.
And I'm like, why am I getting
involved? I don't even know what's happening in my own parliament.
You're doing alright to be fair. Why do I even care? I don't even know what's happening in my own parliament. You're doing alright, to be fair.
Why do I even care?
I care because I care about human rights, Luke.
Thank you.
You care about your own human rights more than anyone else's.
Well, I slept on a sofa, mate.
Exactly, true.
I'm a mess.
Yeah, you deserve better.
You deserve better.
What about this black hole, Pete?
Have you got anything to say about that?
I mean, it's 500...
Is it sexier than Pamela Anderson?
Listen to this.
It's 500 million trillion kilometres
away
you know my
opinion about
space stuff
it's too
unfathomable
it's too
indistinct
I can't
the numbers
get so big
I can't
I have no
skill for this
one of science's
biggest problems
it's got terrible
PR right
so they never
it's the same with
evolution
the teaching
against evolution
particularly in
some of the US
educational establishments
in the south of the US
but also
around the world
is
hugely
detrimental
to our understanding
of the world around us
right for obvious reasons
the reason that
part of the reason
is obviously
to do with religion
and in fact a large part of it is to do with religion but also because the numbers are so
staggeringly big because people say well hang on a minute you know look at the intricacies of a
human eye or of a bird's wing or of a heart valve or whatever or a brain and consciousness it's
impossible for this to happen so the easy way out for me is to believe that i was created by some
creator right what science needs to do is do a better job pr wise of explaining exactly how this is possible
by by first of all saying look this took place over you know four and a half billion years
okay look at the fossil record look at this look at the different chain look at the stages look
at how it works look at the heredity of all this all this other kind of stuff and they don't do
that and it's the same with space so what we find is and some people on the internet are just fucking idiots of course but the first response you get to this amazing
development in the first photograph of a first ever picture of a black hole it's people saying
well it looks a bit shit it's like you don't fucking understand because well you haven't
learned science properly at school and science hasn't done a good enough job of pr in the subject
to the general lay audience well people i mean i mean i think anybody who is in that job will be saying well we do fucking pr we tell the truth we uh explain it to the general lay audience. Well, people, I mean, I think anybody who is in that job
will be saying, well, we do fucking PR, we tell the truth,
we explain it to the nth degree,
we explain it in layman's terms,
we explain it in popular science,
we explain it in very unpopular science,
in very weighty terms.
But people are always going to be fucking idiots, aren't they?
Yeah.
People are always going to believe something
that they can't be arsed understanding.
When I went to go and see Brian,
well, the problem is
part of the culture
is to celebrate
anti-intellectualism isn't it
and that's linked with
populism and stuff
but when I went to go see
Brian Cox at Wembley Arena
he did a brilliant job
of explaining to someone
because obviously my wife
is very scientifically literate
so for her it was easy
well not easy
but easier
and for me
I'm a complete layman
so when I went to go see
Brian Cox
not only was it great
because he explained
this kind of stuff
but also
the different type
of people in the audience
was crazy
it'd be like people
taking their kids
it's like a
you know
an exciting science lecture
there'd be old couples
groups of girls
groups of boys
it was cool
and I feel like
there needs to be
a bit more of an effort
to make people
more scientifically literate
but you're right
when you start talking
about a black hole
which is 500 million
trillion kilometres away
and 40 billion kilometres across,
it's kind of a bit like,
hmm,
it's very difficult
to fathom that
and because you can't fathom it,
it's difficult to work out
why it relates to
our understanding
of the universe
and the world around us.
So I like the idea
of you going to
a science lecture
with a good lady
and
you being
say you're going
to watch the Foo Fighters
and you're going to
and you are looking out
for songs like
I don't know
I'm trying to think of
a big Foo Fighters song
what's a big Foo Fighters song
Learning to Fly
Monkey Wrench
it's one of the early
you don't hear Monkey Wrench
very often but
Learn to Fly is a good example
you're looking out for
Learn to Fly
she's looking out
for the first album she's looking out for For All learn to fly she's looking out for the first album
she's looking out
for all the cows
she's looking out
for the b-sides
the non-album tracks
she's what Brian Cox
to go this one's
for the heads
she's got
just start banging
out like a b-sides
why do Ridgehead
never play pop is dead
no yeah
so that's probably true
but the other thing
is Pete
when you see photos
of space
and exciting things
in space
there's no context is there so no one's holding like a thumb up or a cow photos of space and exciting things in space.
There's no context, is there?
So no one's holding a thumb up or a cow and going,
look, this is how big a cow is.
This is how big that planet is. It's difficult to understand.
I think it's more the power of it.
I think that's the thing that excites me about Black Hole
is just like the whole, oh, we could tear the roof off something,
couldn't we?
Just the power and the mystery.
Is your love life a black hole?
Yeah, pretty much.
Is your love for me a black hole?
Yeah.
Nothing can escape?
Not even gravity?
It's endless.
Yeah.
All right, let's do a couple of memos, Pete.
But first of all, let's have a little breaky.
All right, then.
I'll press this button then, all right.
Oh, Simon Le Bon having a little sing-song there. then alright little kiss is that with me oh
Simon Le Bon
having a little
sing song there
yeah it's nice
he chose his
his wife
Yasmin Le Bon
out of a magazine
I heard that yeah
he just went
I want that one
he was at that stage
of his life
where I mean
I guess it was
it's quite
is it misogynistic
that story
I don't know
I'd like to meet this one it's not yeah it is massively misogynistic, that story? I don't know.
I'd like to meet this one.
It's not... Yeah, it is massively misogynistic.
Well, I was about to say something
and I stopped myself.
What I was about to say was
he was at a stage in his life
and he was so successful and so handsome
and all that kind of stuff
that he could choose any woman he wanted.
But that's not really how life works
or how life should work, is it?
No.
It gets you in the room.
That's all I'm saying.
I never had.
He didn't look like that.
I mean, he looks like... Yeah, he looks kind of sort of... I'd love to have grown up in the 80s.'s all I'm saying. I've never had. He didn't look like that. I mean, he looks like...
Yeah, he looks kind of sort of...
I'd love to have grown up in the 80s.
He looks like a failed tennis coach
wearing a military jacket.
Can you imagine what I'd look like in the 80s?
How much clout I'd put on?
Because if I had any excuse to make myself look better...
You would look literally like an emaciated Boy George.
I would look like the Travaga woman
that I dressed up as
that Halloween
that they put me on the front
of the house.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd look like
a man who's still in a rock band
at the age of like 60
but still puts the makeup on.
Yeah, but still puts the makeup on.
That's the thing, isn't it?
When bands go for that long
or they reform,
like when Take That reformed,
my first instinct was,
oh, is Gary Byler finally
going to pay his tax bill?
Which I believe he's done now.
But anyway, but my second thought was, that's all great.
Good for them.
I'm not one to judge that at all.
I love the fact that Ron Stone is still together.
I know people disagree with that, but for me,
it's do what makes you happy and all that.
And it makes a lot of other people happy as well.
So great, good on them.
But Take That should not be doing the dance moves
they were doing back in the 90s because they're
dads now.
Yeah.
It looks ridiculous.
At least program them
some easier moves.
Some less energetic moves.
Yeah but you sort of
you imagine them as
like really really
ancient like people
but they're probably
not that old in the
grand scheme of things
like who did
Hear Mickey?
Tony Basil.
Yeah.
Who obviously
I think she choreographed
the
she choreographed a lot of
talking head stuff didn't she
did she I didn't know that
the once in a lifetime dance
Gary Barlow's almost 50 by the way
yeah
still in good nick
he can still dance at that age
he can't
I've seen it
she's about to
they don't want to
she's about to
I think as a boy band
you've kind of got to
modify yourself a little bit
I'm not saying they should
just be sat on stalls
for two hours,
but there needs to be some sort of happy middle ground.
Yeah.
We've seen Tony Basil.
She's,
she's like,
she's like,
I think 60 odd and she's still dancing.
Like she's still an incredible dancer,
but obviously that was kind of her trade,
I suppose.
Like,
did you ever see take that doing a cover of,
yeah,
it's awful.
It's absolutely horrendous.
It sounds like the end of the world
So that should be
You know what
That should be fired
into a black hole
The thing that gets me
about it
I'm going to try
and stick it on
if we get past the adverts
Hang on
What gets you about it?
What gets me about it
The thing that upsets me is
They don't put any
distortion on his guitar
They don't even give him
like a fuzz pedal or something.
They've planned this, so at least get the sound.
This is, what is this?
Early Arena, probably.
Earl's Court.
Yeah.
1995, at the height of their powers.
Is that Jason Orange on guitar, I think, maybe?
It's just on lead vocals, I think.
It's again?
I think he just said lead vocals.
Right, so it's a nice thick kind of like humbucker kind of sound.
Yeah, he's got his guitar. He's scared to lose the chord, so he's a nice thick kind of like humbucker kind of sound. Yeah, he's got his guitar.
He's scared to lose the chord, so he's doing his bar chord.
He won't move it.
He's got like a vice-like grip on it.
He can't move his hand.
It's like me playing the piano.
Put some...
Like that's...
Yeah, it's bad.
It's so clean.
It sounds like a... Who's that fella? Is that Howard Donald? yeah it's bad it's so clean
it sounds like
it was that
it was that fella
is that Howard Donald
no
Mark Owen
no it's
who's the main guy
Barlow
Barlow's tearing off his shirt
like Wrestlemania
like Hulk Hogan
do you know what it sounds
exactly like
it sounds like
you're at a music class
and your teacher comes
and goes
do you want to learn how to play
smells like teen spirit today
this is how you play it.
It's when you get your...
It's when you...
It's just incredible.
It really is.
It's just,
it's when you buy
a Fender Squire
from Argos
and it's 100 quid
and you get a little
amplifier with it
and you haven't got
any distortion
so it's just like
ding ding ding
yeah
I completely agree
I think people will
thank you for bringing
that to their attention
I think even Take That
fans will agree
that's ridiculous
let's do some emails then
Pete I've got an email
here first from James
get involved
he says hello lads
referring back to
episode 155
I am a primary school
teacher
and a few years ago
on a bright sunny day
I had the outside door of my classroom open.
Yeah.
What do you think happened, Pete?
Well, bearing in mind you talked about a dog loose in your school,
I reckon a dog's going to be involved.
What should walk in but an alarmingly large dog?
This dog is alarmingly large.
My first instinct was just to keep the 30 screaming
slash laughing 10-year-olds quiet
and calmly shoo the dog out the door.
As I gently grabbed the dog's collar, it nipped at me and growled,
which at one point I decided to get all the children,
sorry, at which point I decided to get all the children to leave the classroom as quickly as possible,
staying away from this incredibly dangerous, rabid dog.
I think that might have been an exaggeration there.
Yeah, but you don't want to mess around.
He's painting the picture like there's been some
sort of zombie apocalypse.
Was this like recently or a few years ago?
It's like
you don't see very many straight
dogs, that's the thing. But I don't think it was straight.
It's got a collar on it.
My teaching assistant and I got all the children out safely
and closed both of the doors of the classroom,
locking the dog inside.
As they were children outside on the playground,
we couldn't safely just let it walk out again.
We called the RSPCA to come and get the dog
and I taught my class for the rest of the morning
in a different classroom.
When I got back to my class at lunch,
I saw that although the dog had gone,
it had obviously had a lovely time climbing on my desk
and urinating on the class globe.
Wow, that's tricky.
Maybe it was a flat earther.
Comment on Brexit.
That sounds like a Chumbawumba video.
Left on the blackboard in scratch-like chalk.
Citizens of nowhere.
Anarchy.
Oh, that's wonderful.
I mean, I'm sure it was pretty odd,
so I'm not trying to trivialise what was probably a traumatic situation,
but even so.
No, you've got protocol in these matters.
Get the dog away from the kids, or vice versa.
You tried one
side of things
and tried
sacrifice one kid
to save the rest of the class
yes exactly
we've got an email
from Kayser
hello Kayser
who
Kayser actually
because
there's a J in there
but she's
helpfully written her name
in a slightly different way
to help me out
and I've still muffed it up
so apologies
I don't think it matters
she knows who she is she does Kayser hi boys we haven't been called boy in a slightly different way to help me out and I've still muffed it up so apologies I don't think it matters she knows who she is
she does kiss her
hi boys
I haven't been called boy
in a while
hi boys
hello boy
got me a bit excited
what's wrong with me
there was a guy
I used to work with
Capital Radio
really cockney guy
I can't remember
what his name was now
and he used to always go
hello boy
hello boy
and he was so cockney
that he used to do that thing
with his lip
Royston was it
no not Royston
before he started talking he used to do that thing with his lip Royston was it no not Royston before he
stopped talking
he used to go
oh rum
oh rum
like that
oh rum
Luke
can you stop pissing on the
the cover of Radio Globe
and they also
real proper cockneys
do this thing
where they go
whereas I would say to you
it's not as I'm doing it
every day now is it
whereas cockneys will say
it's not as I'm doing it
every day now is it
is it
and he used to do that.
Now is it?
Sorry, carry on.
Now is it?
You've only kindly read out two of my emails so far, but I couldn't pass this one up.
It's fine, Kesa.
I'm sure I muffed your name up the first time too.
You're talking about carrots up the arses.
Come on.
I don't know what that just did.
That's a woman you're talking about.
Yeah, she's ripped the heart out of this community.
These are people we had trained. Fucking lovely. Shipbuilding. that's a woman you're talking about yeah she's ripped the heart out of this community here's the people
we had trained
fucking lovely
shit building
shit building
did you ever do that
I don't think you've
done this on the show
before
my dad works in a
shit yard
or
my dad's a wanker
and he wanks all day
banker
hang on
wait a second
my dad's a wanker
he is a wanker.
Locked you out of the house.
Locked me out of the fucking house.
He's only been up getting, he's had my bath,
he's put the towels in the wash.
He has, God knows what he's been doing.
And he's only popped out for some WD-40
and bought some caustic soda for the toilet.
There's your dad that subscribes to that proper man's agenda,
which is if it doesn't move when it should, WD-40,
and if it moves when it shouldn't, gaffer tape.
Back when I was a wee lass,
having just moved to the bad city of London,
I was living hand-to-mouth off of waitressing tips
when I came across an ingenious way to make a fast buck.
Sorry, Pete, that's like actual financial tips,
not just getting tips
off waitresses
about how to live your life.
Okay, fine.
I knew a guy
who was working
in the porn industry
in some ridiculously
niche fetish genre,
CFNM,
if you fancy a Google.
I'm familiar with that.
It's clothed
female
nude men.
It's like...
Right.
It's like the embarrassment
of...
I think it's a bit...
It's not S&M-y, but it's for people... I think it's for bankers like the embarrassment of it's I think it's a bit it's not S&M-y
but it's for people
I think it's for bankers
who like
have too much stress
in their day
so they want to be
they want to be embarrassed
like in
what's it called
Billions
the guy in Billions
Paul Giamatti's character
kind of yeah
I think so
it's kind of a similar thing
yeah
because like
you see pictures
of people
of course on Twitter
where you just have, like,
a dominatrix in, like,
the middle of Victoria Station
with a man with his top off,
like, being...
Yeah, being led through Victoria.
I've never seen that.
But that is, like,
extreme embarrassment.
Russia, I go through it every day.
I've never seen that.
Extreme embarrassment.
Is it one of those things
that if you haven't seen it,
you're that person?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, CFNM.
They were scouting
for filming locations
and one chilly October evening,
I sat back in our living room
while a team prepared for a shoot in my bedroom.
Sorry, why is she doing this?
I wasn't listening.
For a quick buck, cheap.
She's renting out her house?
Renting out her room.
Okay, fine.
In the kitchen, they were microwaving carrots,
which were to be inserted into the guy's tender behind
while he would act out a video sex chat by my desk.
I remember standing in my kitchen, staring in fascination
as the rounded, smoothed carrot spun round and round
in the buzzing light of my microwave.
After they finished, they said I could come back into the room.
I found them wiping my desk with a disinfectant
and I decided to give them some more minutes.
Wow, this is a crazy story.
But they left me with six crisp £50 nuts and I was a happy bunny.
Mate, that's not a bad little earner, is it? How but they left me with six crisp £50 nuts and I was a happy bunny mate that's not a bad
little earner is it
how long was it going for
six £50 nuts
oh 300 bar
alright innit
300 boys
making money off porn
without being in it
any day
okay that's all
cheers guys
etc
are these emails
going to you directly
because I don't remember
reading that at all
six days ago
we could have done it
on Monday
yeah
exciting
interesting it goes on these things happen they walk among us as they say Six days ago. We could have done it on... Thursday or Monday, yeah. Yeah. Exciting.
Interesting.
It goes on.
These things happen.
They walk among us, as they say.
Joe, who did the Windsor Knot podcast
around the time of the royal wedding,
he is almost a member of the aristocracy,
as far as I can tell.
He's quite upper class.
But he knows a few people who own stately homes
and own some pretty serious stuff. And he says he knows of few people who own like stately homes and own some pretty serious stuff
and a lot of
and he says he knows
like of several pornos
that have been filmed
in these really
really posh castles
and stuff
King's Speech
remember the King's Speech
that room where they
with the microphone
and like the
filthy walls and stuff
I haven't seen it
there's some beautiful shots
where they've kind of
superimposed the gay porn film
that was filmed
either before or after
in the same room.
Oh, was it really?
In the same location
with the main actors.
That's so funny.
It's so good.
Give it to Google if you can.
What about this, Pete?
Angry Man's got in touch.
Angry Man?
What?
I think it's Scandinavian.
It's called Edvard.
Oh, I love that name.
He says,
just finished episode 157
on my walk to work.
So this one's hot off the press.
I'm imagining him going
Monday's episode.
Screaming like this.
Ah, Edvard. Edvard Munch. He says, I've got on my walk to work. So this one's hot off the press. I'm imagining him going. Monday's episode. Screaming less. Ah, Edward.
Edward Munch.
He says,
I've got a few issues.
All right.
Well, you've come to the right place.
Yeah.
Because we've got a few ourselves.
Have you got bees in your eye?
First, Luke, for Pete's sake,
don't always interrupt Pete.
We never found out what his morph suit
for the London Marathon was like
because you cut him off.
I couldn't think of anything else
for the next few minutes
trying to imagine what it would be.
I apologise,
that's a trope of mine
that sometimes can be very annoying.
Pete, please take up the mantle again
about your Morph suit
for the London Marathon.
I would argue that it's...
But I don't think Edward knows what Morph is.
No, I would argue...
Probably makes Scandinavia, come on.
That's very transferable, Morph, isn't it?
He might be young, though.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, we go all around the houses
and I really
rely on your
you getting me out of
a non sequitur or two
to be frank
it's part of the dynamic
Morph suit
he's a little
he's a little brown
plasticine man
and he was
stop go animation
wasn't he
on Tony Hart's
Heartbeat
yes
Tony Hart's Heartbeat
was like a
children's art show
presented by
a very softly spoken
national treasure called Tony Hart.
Heart beat, beat, beat.
It used to go, heart beat, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
And Morph was the best thing about it because Tony Hart wasn't all that interesting, but
it was very relaxing television.
I imagine it's really good post-pub television for older people.
But Morph was a stop-motion claymation
brown
kid I guess
I don't know what he was
he was kind of sort of
an androgynous
yeah
and he had a friend
he had a friend called
Chad I think wasn't it
yeah what was his mate's name
I think his name might have
been Chad or Chaz
and he used to speak in
yeah like
something like that
yeah nonsense
him and his
him and his friend
used to hang out
but I
decided to go as
morph
dress up as morph
and so somebody
made me a bespoke
morph suit
do you want people
to see that suit
it looks a little
problematic in 2019
bear in mind
so maybe we'll keep
that under a bushel
I think it's fine
personally
it's clearly morph
it's clearly morph
and Tony Hart
sadly passed away
in 2009
at the age of 83
I remember when he died
Tony we hardly knew you
what year was that
2009
so 10 years ago
so
oh
I'm thinking of Rod Hull
he died in 1997
I think
okay Edward
I know you get annoyed
by this
so
Rod Hull was
a kind of guy
a ventriloquist
kind of guy
who had this
emu character
that he used to
attack people with and it was Saturday morning television kind of stuff who had this emu character that he used to attack people with
and it was Saturday morning television kind of stuff.
My friend, my Scottish friend from Aberdeen,
he was flipped upside down by Rod Hull and emu.
So if you can imagine,
he was upside down in front of a lot,
like he was doing a show
and he's brought up on stage
and he sort of made her do half a cartwheel
and Rod Hull grabbed hold of his leg
so he's upside down
and he made Emu...
This is horrible.
It's not horrible.
It was just a little joke
but in the harsh light of 2019.
How old was he?
Young enough to do a cartwheel.
He went,
Oh, I've got...
Oh, Emu has found a worm
and then went for his genitalia.
Oh dear.
But it was funny clothed.
I'm sure it was all above board
but in 2019, those kind of jokes do not fly if you're a children's entertainer. Like Emu. Oh dear. But it was fully clothed. I'm sure it was all above board.
But in 2019, those kind of jokes do not fly if you're a children's entertainer.
Like Emu.
Emu does...
The flightless bird, famously.
Emu does like worms.
Yeah.
You can't deny it.
And if Emu did see a child's penis,
he'd probably go for it.
That's all I'm saying.
It's entirely in character for a flightless bird
who does a lot of
grubbing
for worms
stamping on the ground
I look forward to
Edward's email next week
his second
bugbear is
I remember some episodes
ago
one of you said
not my story to tell
let's be very clear
fair enough
one of you went on a digression
and I think you actually
apologised for digressing
right
I just realised
your whole podcast
is a long series of digressions
so no need to apologise.
It's what makes me listen.
It's been very demanding,
Edvard.
Third.
It's the third
and final bugbear
of Edvard's.
You should look into
who manages your ads
in Norway.
He's obviously Norwegian.
Episode 157
had ads from a Norwegian podcast
about health issues
for elderly people
and it's partly hosted
by people from a magazine
called We're Over 60.
I have a feeling there aren't many people over 60 with bad health listening to the
Luke and Pete show. Anyway, keep on talking
and digressing. Edvard.
We've had some emotional listeners, definitely.
Can we talk about my dad
who's 66 now, I think?
If you're over the average age in this
country, whatever that is, or you suspect that
you are, get in touch. I want to find out who our oldest listener
is. I think we had someone who was about
65, I think. Did we?
I'm fairly certain that happened.
It might have been, yeah, it might have been that.
I hope Edvard
thinks that we've
kind of addressed his concerns.
If you'd like your concerns
addressed, it's really easy to get in touch.
It's hello on LukeandPeteShow.com.
Listen, if you've got a problem, a fundamental
problem with aspects of our character,
let us know. It's no problem.
I've got loads of problems with Pete's.
Yeah.
Alright. I've just been offered a
special pre-sale offer on the
Luke and Pete Show email. David Sedaris.
Who is that? I don't know.
I think he might be a journalist. He's an author
and humorist. But he's wearing a humorously shirt.
He's wearing a blazer and shirt combo
and then some silly trousers.
Apparently he writes for the New Yorker.
Ah.
I've never heard of him.
No.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
All right then.
Have you got any information about Morph or Tony Hart?
Maybe you met him.
Or maybe Rod Hull abused you in some way.
Maybe.
It wasn't abuse.
It was just a stage show,
and he went,
oh, I found a worm!
Stop, stop, stop.
There was no grabbing of the genitalia,
it was just like,
ha ha, this boy's got a penis.
Yeah, but it's just a man's hand,
with a kind of unorthodox covering on it.
I know it is, Luke!
An unorthodox covering on it.
But I just want,
it's fine.
Hello at LukeandPeach.com,
get in touch.
It was fine.
It's not my story to tell.
Settle this debate.
We'll get Craig on next week
to tell the story properly.
We'll see you on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
This was a Radio Stakhanov production.
