It's Thursday, shitheads.
It's the Luke and Pete show,
and we're ready to talk some grot, quite frankly.
Here's one for you listeners.
Peter, what episode are we on?
One, six, nine.
No, you get it wrong.
One, six, eight.
Mate, that's amazing.
I didn't know what number that was.
I only got that because somebody mentioned in an email,
one, six, four, and I was like, there's got to be like five away. That's brilliant. I didn't know what number that was. I only got that because somebody mentioned in an email 164.
And I was like, it's got to be like five away.
That's brilliant from me.
That's brilliant.
You were in one.
He's done so well there.
You have to say that's magnificent.
You have to say that's magnificent.
Did you change our Twitter profile to say the podcast which never knows which episode it's on?
No.
Did you do that?
Someone did it.
Why are these dark forces conspiring against me?
They're absolutely
dark forces.
What was I going to say?
I just got a weird
text message through
into my laptop.
Into your laptop?
From a German.
An unknown source.
I said,
what's plus four nine?
Plus four nine.
Yeah,
I would say somewhere
in Europe.
It was Germany.
Yeah.
Oh, it's from my mate Musa. That's all right. No worries. I wasn't somewhere in Europe it was Germany yeah it's my mate Moosa that's alright
no worries
I wasn't expecting it
what was I going to
say to you then
what's that
Strasbourg
I was going to say
oh yeah so
this is quite interesting
I think
I think
so mate came down
last week from Scotland
he is
mate called Phil
you know him
I think you met him
he's got a guest house
up in Scotland.
Okay.
Yeah.
And if you are in the beautiful small town of Foyers near Inverness and near Loch Ness,
you should go stay at his place.
Anyway, he came down.
He's got a cherry picker.
It was great to see.
He has got a cherry picker.
I'm obsessed with this cherry picker.
He's a very practical man.
Yeah.
He was telling me that he found out why Ida down as in the Ida ducks down,
Ida down,
uh,
is so expensive.
Um,
do you know about this phenomenon?
Oh,
do they?
Well,
let me guess to get the feathers.
They scare the animals.
No.
With a spook.
No.
Spook the animal so hard that feathers fly out.
No.
So basically,
um,
the Ida ducks i think they're
just called eiders um the the nest they build is like close to the sea and they line the nests
with feathers plucked from the female eiders breast right um and so um what they have to do
is they have to wait for the eiders to leave the nest
before they can go and get the feathers.
And they have to be cultivated and harvested sort of like manually.
Right, okay.
So you can't just grab an eider duck and pluck it like they would for other stuff.
And that's why eider down is a premium, premier form of down.
If you take feathers
out of an animal
does it regrow them
because they lose
their feathers don't they
I'm going to say no
I'm going to say
I don't know actually
it's a really good question
I'd love to know that
that's the kind of question
we should be asking
on this show
hello at lukeandpete
show.com
if you know the answer
to that
it's not something
I've sort of run into
oh I've got a TV
recommendation Luke
go on
it's a Netflix TV show.
It's a comedic sketch show called I Think You Should Leave.
It is the best sketch show I have seen since Tim and Eric.
It is fucking amazing.
So is this what you were tweeting about last week?
Little screenshots?
I tweeted one screenshot, yeah.
Oh, look how cool I am.
I'm enjoying like really
cutting edge comedy shows
cutting edge
it's literally on the
first page of Netflix
who's in it
a lot of SNL
people
but it's written by
one of their writers
and the writer in particular
is just wonderful
there's a particular
sketch with
a Johnny Cash
kind of character
that is
one of my favourites
it's so
it makes my heart sing
how funny was it?
I was getting tears
and you know
when you guys
sit in the Ramble
and you do
find jokes
on the internet
and stuff
mainly because
I've probably seen them before
I always feel a bit
left out
I genuinely feel like
I'm wrong
in the head
or something
that I don't find it
quite so funny
you basically just
don't find me funny
which is very funny
well no
it's not that
but there'll be some things that I really laugh at.
But I always sort of feel like,
am I a bit wrong?
And then I watch that and I go,
ah.
So you're basically,
you're recommending it as a comedy show
because it's made you realise
you're not quite as sociopathic as you thought you were.
And you are able to feel emotions.
Yeah, it's on the Netflix main page.
And it's just, it's so good.
What's it called?
I Think You Should Leave.
I Think You Should Leave with someone, I think his name's Matt Robinson. I can't remember his page, and it's just so good. What's it called? I think you should leave. I think you should leave with someone.
I think his name's Matt Robinson.
I can't remember his name, but I think you should leave.
It is wonderful.
All right, I'll check it out.
It came out of nowhere.
Six episodes, 15 minutes each.
It is astoundingly good.
I'll check it out.
Have you seen this thing that happened in Bocholt in Western Germany recently?
A speed limit was broken and
caught on a speed camera um it was found something was found to be going um 12 kilometers an hour too
fast right going i think 42 kilometers an hour oh no sorry. 45 kilometres an hour and a 30 kilometres an hour zone. Let me guess, ostrich?
No.
Lion.
Yeah, it was a lion.
It's a fucking lion.
Yeah, no, it was a pigeon.
Oh, right.
Flying too close to the camera.
So technically speaking,
it should be fined 25 euros.
If you can find it, you can fine it.
Yeah.
But the guy reporting on it
or the guy who was responsible for, I guess,
administering the
fines, said,
first of all,
he said this,
which is quite
funny, the pigeon
was on a collision
course with vehicles
and pedestrians.
I'm not sure
that's true.
And whether the
fast bird can and
will pay its 25
euros on the spot
fine remains to be
seen.
I'm going to say
it doesn't remain
to be seen.
I'm going to say
you're very unlikely
to get a pigeon to lift its wing up, pull a little wallet and say here you go here's the
money i was watching a little mini documentary about um uh a big california reservoir um and
bromide i think some basically some kind of um something in the water that's completely harmless until sunshine gets on it
so when the people
were selling this water
to business
they were sort of saying
this bromide is really low
it's like you know
9%
or 0.0
9%
in the water
so it's completely safe
for making it
and then when it actually
got to the businesses
who were making it for like like, I don't know,
bottled water or Coca-Cola or whatever,
they were going, hey, there's bromide.
It's like, really, bloody, hi, what's going on here?
And I think it's bromide.
Basically, the sun reacts to the chlorine in the water,
which you need for antiseptic and, you know,
cleaning the water purposes,
and just changes the makeup,
the genetic makeup, so to speak, of the water.
And it's just a real shit show.
So what they had to do was basically cover.
Imagine how big a reservoir is.
They had to cover a reservoir to shade it from the sun
so the sun wouldn't react with the chemicals in the water
to make this harmful chemical.
And they did it by just filling the,
because they thought about like big logs, big black plastic logs.
They thought about plastic sheets and stuff, but then that would attract birds.
And it's quite near an airport and you don't want bird shit in the water.
So they used like something like 900 million rubber, like plastic balls.
Put on the top.
Put on the top.
They just sort of bobbed about on the top.
Did it work?
Yeah, massively worked.
And so it stopped the sun from...
It also reduces a small amount of evaporation as well.
So you don't lose quite so much water.
Where is it?
It's in the middle of the desert in California or whatever.
But it just really made me laugh because there's just...
They've got these little boats that go out in the reservoir
and it's just like these balls are just everywhere.
You can't see any water.
It's just this kind of weird, massive ball. It's a really cool solution. Oh, it's brilliant. And balls are just everywhere. You can't see any water. It's just this kind of like weird, massive ball pool.
It's a really cool solution.
Oh, it's brilliant.
And also because they didn't want...
For what is potentially a very harmful solution.
They didn't want to have the balls floating over to the...
Because obviously if a wind takes them,
it'll take them onto the motorways and stuff
and they don't want that.
So they filled them a little bit with water.
So it's actually quite hard going getting a boat through there,
which I find exciting.
Reservoirs are so cool.
I find it interesting when you see a reservoir.
There's one I'm pretty sure of.
Because we're taking a girl to the reservoir.
What's that from?
Pulp's Joyride.
I'm not really a big expert in pulp.
Some people say it's a tragedy,
but don't you want to come and see?
It's not a bad impression, I have to say.
You're venturing into David Burry territory quite regularly there.
Because we're taking a girl to the reservoir.
Am I the only one in this room that finds Jarvis Cocker a bit tiresome?
I think these days he's a bit more tires that finds Jarvis Cocker a bit tiresome? I think these days
he's a bit more tiresome
but I love his music.
Is it Cocker Fatigue?
Is that why?
Cocker Fatigue.
I love Pulp.
They're my favourite band
and I just think
they're just wonderful.
Yeah, absolutely.
My Desert Island Disco
is his and hers by Pulp.
There's no better album
in the world.
There's just no,
it just doesn't,
nothing comes close.
Write us down for the synopsis.
Please don't email us
about that. Just email email us about that.
Just email Pete directly about that.
His and hers.
I'm not wading through pulp-related emails.
When I've been for a nice ramble
in the Connecticut countryside,
sometimes you'll stumble across a reservoir.
Yeah.
And there are people sailing on it and stuff.
Yeah.
And you kind of think,
should you be doing that?
Yeah, I don't really,
because they sort of say
it gets cleaned
and then the water
goes to the reservoir
and then,
I don't think there's much more
processing goes on
before it gets to the,
to the Tammany.
But it's the idea that,
it's the idea that
there's so much water present
that it's impossible really to,
it's impossible to,
to sort of damage it
in any meaningful way.
They must be cleaning
after that surely.
You'd hope so.
They're bushing it in
it, all that stuff.
Because the reason I
say that is because
there is a reservoir,
it's a beautiful part
of the world by the
way.
There's a run I
sometimes do when I
go and visit my
in-laws where you
run down a couple
of roads through
some forest and
there's a huge
reservoir and you
run around, it's
beautiful, it's one
of the most beautiful
scenes, a proper
New England scene.
But there's absolutely
no security there
or anything.
I mean if there's nothing,
I mean,
if someone fancied it,
I suppose they could go there with 500 bottles of bleach
and pour it in there
and no one would be able
to stop them.
Yeah.
I mean,
they will presumably
be testing practices
after the release.
I mean,
you'd hope so,
wouldn't you?
There was a YouTuber
who was seen,
I don't think it was a reservoir,
but it was a very picturesque kind of little scene.
Picturesque.
Suitcase.
It was this YouTuber who was filming a little thing.
Yeah, travel vlogger.
Find suitcase.
Two years later, discovers there was a body in it.
What?
There's this beautiful woman, and she's at this kind of lake
and she filmed this video
of a scene.
There she is.
I'm not really sure where it is.
Let's find out where it is.
It's in Cyprus.
Right, yeah.
Yeah, it's in Cyprus.
New York-based vlogger Sarah Funk,
which is a great name.
Sarah Funk?
Sarah Funk.
It's like, what's his name?
The wrestler.
Terry Funk. It's like Terry Funk. his name? The wrestler. Terry Funk.
Terry Funk's daughter.
Visited Cyprus' Mitsurou Red Lake,
a toxic, acidic body of water, tinted red
from a now-abandoned British
mining operation in
June 2017. I mean, she's basically just in a quarry
there, like a flooded quarry. She's standing in a quarry, yeah.
But there's a...
Yeah, see, look. There's a
picture that she... In her video, basically, if you zoom in, you can see, look. There's a picture that she, like in her video, basically,
if you zoom in, you can see this sort of bag floating in the water.
Let me have a look, hang on.
Isn't that spooky?
A little bag floating in the water.
There's no way you're getting a body in that.
It's a tiny little backpack.
There's body, there was body in it.
And they managed to locate it by,
they managed to locate the time,
they found the body, the police.
Yeah. And then I think they managed to locate the time, they found the body, the police, and then I think
they managed to figure out
how long it had been there
through her,
through her videos and stuff.
So they sort of found
people who'd visited that area
because it's obviously
a famous kind of historical,
like,
good second photo.
That forensic
study of photos
is amazing.
Have you ever listened
to Caliphate,
the podcast?
Yes.
Where they,
there's a guy
who's obviously visited some part of the world he shouldn't be in i believe it's syria during the um
during isis isis occupation of it i guess and there's a couple of photos of him and he's
claiming to be in a certain place but it's just literally him standing in a desert on some river
bend or something and they they analyze it with it with the, where the sun is,
time of year it's reportedly supposed to be,
the topography of it.
And they can,
they can.
You don't,
you don't even need quite hard.
They can locate it.
Yeah,
exactly.
You don't really need site.
And to be honest,
this will be done like algorithmically in the future.
They'll sort of go,
right.
They'll tell the computer there's a hut there.
There's a tree there.
The computer will figure out how far away it is again,
where the sun is,
where the shadows
are lying and stuff and it'll all be done automatically um and yeah we won't be able to do
anything no well needs a bit no they're trying they're trying face recognition software in in
england at the moment i've got beef with that you got some beef have you can i just put this out
there it's just normally your area they'll never catch me i look like everyone yeah that's true
gary neville has been spotted. I remember seeing that
when we came into Luton Airport
a few weeks ago.
Right.
I know you weren't with me, actually.
You'd flown back the day before,
but we were there together.
And I read that in the newspaper
on the flight back
and I saw some signs up at Luton Airport.
It sounded like good news.
Soon, when you're coming back
from an EU thing,
you won't even need to have your passport
because it'll recognise your face
and they'll be able to identify you.
I remember thinking,
hang on a minute, right?
Hang on a minute.
I don't remember signing up to that.
You keeping my face
alongside my name on record.
B, most if not all airports in the UK
are run by private companies.
So essentially what you're saying is
you're giving that information
over to a private business,
which is massively problematic
in terms of privacy
and data protection.
So how is that even legal?
How is that even allowed?
Well, I'm fairly certain
every security officer who works in an airport
is like an employee of our Homeland Security section.
But it doesn't matter.
No, a lot of them work for, what's it called?
The company that runs the airports in the UK.
I forget their name now.
Some of them are owned by Swissport.
But they'll all be licensed by the government
to have that information.
I'm not particularly bothered about that particular piece of information.
What are you bothered about?
Because they probably,
if someone puts an APB on you
because you've done something naughty
and you're on a no-fly list,
they'll be able to find out just by your face.
They'll have pictures of you on on that you can opt out
on this on this sure i'll say that i'm sure you can but i don't really know how but this is no
different rely on that don't they this is no different in they do yeah this is no different
in principle to what you were talking about a week or two ago about um having to sign up to
what to visit certain websites so they've got your name and stuff on detail to see what websites
you've been looking at
which you were saying
last week or the week before.
I wouldn't trust anyone with,
if you've got some genuinely,
I sort of go on the principle
I'm hiding in plain sight.
If you can find something about me
then you've had a more miserable day
than I'll ever have.
If you've hunted through
everything I've done.
But should it be like that though?
You what?
It shouldn't be like that though,
should it?
I don't know, we've put so much out. You know, though? You what? It shouldn't be like that, though, should it? I don't know.
We've put so much out.
You know, you can sort of use the argument,
saying, well, all right, you've not let anybody
have your data on file,
but you've readily handed it to Facebook,
you've readily handed it to Twitter,
you've readily handed it to everybody else.
But do they not have a responsibility
to look after that, though?
Well, presumably the airporters will have
a higher quality of care
than Facebook
and the socials
won't they
people saying your details
is bad news though right
it's bad news
because they just share
it all with everyone
don't they
every company
that you give it to
I'd like a database
where I could get
the details
of every single
football fan
who also likes podcasts
and I'll start
talking to them
start talking to them
hello and before in the
deep distant past before we started talking about this i had an idea to talk to you about the
diatlov pass incident have we talked about it in on the show before i don't think so if we have it's
a long time ago we make no apology for that so the diatlov pass incident was this um it's like
an unexplained sort of mystery and the reason it came into my is this the Russians
yeah
yeah we have spoken
about that
not that long ago
though to be fair
oh really okay
because it's been reopened
so we already mentioned it
I checked my notes
and I couldn't see that
we
yeah
because there's lightning
strike bears
just absolutely
that's right
I was going to ask you
to solve it
did you have a theory then
have you got a theory now
boredom
well they just killed
themselves
just killed themselves
they are conscious
breathers, the Russian
people.
Is that right?
Yeah, they just
caught their blowholes.
Yeah, and they just
caught their blowholes
and just died.
Could be done.
They're all getting
dolphin handjobs.
They were given
some tattoos by a
friend and it
weren't tattoos,
they were LSD.
Is that right?
Yeah.
And there wasn't a
girl from Grinch Hill
to serve them up
a can of coke
to calm them down
is that what they did
in that
here's some coke
have some coke
it's poison
it's poison
no
no it's poison
and she's going
no it's not
have the coke
hey
don't give a can of coke
that's if you've got
a stomach up for it
disabled people
have compassion
according to Grinch Hill
wee
I'm nine years old
and even I found
that patronising it's not LSD though though is it for coke coke coke doesn't go
with lsd flat coke is for a stomach upset they've got confused there all right let's do some emails
instead pizza why don't you um hit the button and give us a bit of julian assange and then we'll
come back hey y'all it's farmer me mine today i'm going to show you what i've been doing to take
care of the pantry moth situation.
Yeah, I mean, you've got, if you are
in solitary confinement in an Ecuadorian
embassy, you need to look
after your clothes. You don't want moths. You're going to get moths.
You're going to get moths. So Pete, from my memory
last, on Monday, you didn't do any emails, so why don't you
do one now? Alright then. Have you got any?
Yes, I have, Mother. I've got one
from Tony
Rupoli. Hello, Tony Rupoli.
Enjoyed the show,
including a Linkin Peak show,
or as my girlfriend knows it,
the Horse Blowjob
and Dolphin Handjob show.
She's overheard
what I promised her
were not the most nuanced episodes.
We were going to call it that,
but there's not enough characters.
The HB and DH.
I also explained
that the context
would probably not make it any better.
That's almost certainly true.
Just wanted to give you an update after you honoured me
by reading out my email about my dad waking us up for football
with a little involuntary static apnea.
Despite forgetting to keep most of your contributors anonymous,
you were cautious and only read my first name.
No need.
When I told my dad his unusual parenting was now public knowledge,
he just laughed and said, I'm famous.
Good.
His dad sounds fun.
Yeah.
After hearing about Pete's dad locking him out,
I thought he'd appreciate another quick update on my pop.
We live in Canada, or as Voltaire called it, a few acres of snow.
Once I was, while I was a teenager,
during a particularly enthusiastic snowstorm,
my father wagered me $10.
I couldn't sprint around the house in waist-deep snow in my underwear.
I, of course, took him up on his offer offer trudged through the snow and minus 30 temperatures only to find out he had locked the doors great stuff gathered my siblings and stood at a window
to point at laugh great behavior he eventually let me in and paid up so fair play uh although
his parenting styles were unique i think they worked and now work as a teacher principal for
a troubled youth in Northern Ontario.
Thank you very much.
You could have died.
Your own son could have died.
Tony Rupuli.
Tony Rupuli.
What about this from Jack from Sheffield?
I like this one.
He says, Dear Luke and Pete, I wanted to jump in on the conversation concerning the most famous face you've seen in a toilet.
Okay.
This came from your story about someone who apparently saw the queen in a toilet.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, that was on a podcast and it was, you know, one of Barack Obama's guys.
But it's still funny.
Yeah.
Jack says he was in a student pub in Leeds last year for a special pub quiz that had the entire student population of Leeds talking.
Making a special appearance was the man, the myth, the legend, Mark the Beast Labette of The Chase.
He's so big.
I can picture him, but I don't really know anything about him.
Other than for brief photo opportunities,
the man mounting quizzer was separated from his adoring fans
by a velvet rope for the entirety of the evening.
After a moderately successful night of quizzing
and copious quantities of £1.50,
I was pretty satisfied with my night.
However, when the time came for the seal to be broken,
I headed to the lavatory to relieve myself.
And as the cheap booze inevitably evacuated my body,
the big man himself strolled in,
planting himself at the urinals beside me.
Having followed the man's quizzing career,
I'd heard him mention on a couple of occasions
that he was a big Sheffield United fan.
And as a tipsy boyhood blade from the steel city myself,
I couldn't
resist but exclaim
we're all blades
aren't we expecting a
jovial response I was
surprised to be looked
at with the face of
complete apathy as he
stated I'm more of a
rugby man myself I
just say that because
my manager supports
Sheffield United oh a
disappointing end to
the evening and while
I can neither confirm
or deny whether the
little beast matches the
rest of the man, I
learnt a valuable
lesson that night.
Never meet your
idols.
Jack from
Sheffield.
He strikes me as
not only being an
ex-rugby player but
also, yeah, a rugby
man.
Like, just.
Is he actually
massive?
Yeah, he's massive.
He's the beast,
isn't he?
He's like six foot
odd and really wide.
He's a monster.
I think he married
a young lady recently.
Right.
Google News says,
the chases mark the beast Labette, 53,
splits from cheating wife Katie, 26.
What?
Oh, God.
I've not been updated.
His wife is half his age.
They only got married last year, I think.
He's six foot seven.
Six foot seven.
And he weighs 360 pounds. He's six foot seven six foot seven and he weighs 360 pounds
he's six foot seven and my name's not kevin and i'm really good at quizzes yeah that's a song for
mark labette there that's what he sings he um 360 pounds blimey all right that's twice my weight
almost big boy well you've lost a bit of weight so you've been you've brought up your end of the
bargain i mean that is a lot thanks for that email that was very insightful very insightful indeed
I'm trying for a short one
to close us out
hello to
I like this one
former youngest listener
Joe Southern
former
former younger listener
it's a grey area
well I mean this
I mean this disgusts me
quite frankly
hi lads
I'm no longer your
no longer your
youngest listener
but I believe
when I first started
to listen to your
other show
the Football Ramble
I was around about
the age of 13
and his gateway drug was our 442nd's work on YouTube but I believe when I first started to listen to your other show, The Football Ramble, I was around about the age of 13.
And his gateway drug was our 4-4 Tunes work on YouTube.
Which is basically, I love this part of our history because it makes me smile.
There was a lad who, 4-4 Tunes on YouTube,
who's a famous...
He's massive on YouTube, right?
He's a massive kind of flash animation about footballers
and somebody who does songs.
And he sort of eked out a pretty lucrative career
doing some,
you know,
pretty,
I mean,
I would say quite boilerplate
animations about footballers
but they entertain,
they are big,
big,
big in foreign countries
that,
you know,
that don't necessarily have
that English sort of sense of humour.
They're absolutely huge
and bless him,
he loved the show
or he loved the ramble,
and he decided, sort of said,
look, let me do some animations of you guys doing that.
And he did some wonderful work for us.
And he...
Well, you called him boilerplate,
so don't try and go back on it now.
Well, no, I'm just...
Well, I can only be...
I can only say what I feel about the cartoons, can't I?
Yeah.
But he has a very sort of like
very different sense of humor on on his
on his uh on his youtube than in real life and stuff so um all of his fans were just disgusted
by the collaboration i've never seen a fan base of someone else just sort of going what is this
yeah what is this why are these men talking at me and i enjoyed it immensely and and and to his
credit he kept doing them and I felt really bad.
It's because you've got a thing where
you expect
everything you do to fail. So when
something comes up which is quite a negative response
it satisfies your initial
thoughts. No it doesn't satisfy me
it made me sad
yeah but it was involving someone else.
Yeah but you're saying that you
thought it was funny because it was a bad effort. On our part, not on his involving someone else, see. Yeah, but you're saying that you thought it was funny
because it was a bad effort.
No, it was good.
On our part, not on his part, on our part.
I just felt sorry for him.
I found that fascinating that a man would do it for so long.
How many subscribers has he got?
I don't know, all of his.
Oh, there'll be millions by now, surely.
But he's massive.
And he was willing to put his reputation on the line for the ramble.
And we did not let him down he's got two point
he's got 2.5 million subscribers i know it's crazy isn't it crazy yeah well anyway what's
the email gonna say it just says i just it just made me laugh that reminded me of the youtube
animator for fortunes that one all right so just so then thank you very much uh and a quick one
from william i just given a quick email not only confirming that i know of graphite cider but that
it's still sold up here in newcastle yeah someone, someone sent an email in about how it made them sick.
I don't know if we could read it out,
because I wasn't sure if that would be problematic
if they still make it there.
I just always think with brands like that,
they ain't never going to advertise.
You're not going to upset them on that, Mark.
I mean, they're a budget brand.
Are they really going to get litigious?
No, probably not.
They could probably just keep the factories going.
I was completely, there's an IPA called Graphite,
brewed by the Great North Eastern Brewing Company.
Right.
That obviously isn't it.
And if you Google graphite cider now,
you don't really get you don't really get
anything back
I mean people talk about
white lightning quite a lot
and other brands of cider
but I think graphite
is one of the great
lost cider brands
sadly
let's end with this email
from Kesa
who says
hello boys
in your latest episode
you requested more emails
so here we go
what are your celebrity
crushes past and current?
It's no secret
that Luke fancies
the Dragon Queen.
Is that true?
Have I said that?
Have you said that?
I think so.
She's very attractive.
I like following her
on Instagram.
She seems like she's
a good laugh.
Yeah I've interviewed
her.
She's nice.
And old time listeners
will know that a wee
innocent Pete once
hoped to get cosy
with Samantha Fox.
Oh yeah.
You were about
eight weren't you
at the time or something.
Dare you divulge any other infatuations with those who dwell in the spotlight.
Me, I fancy Pete and my husband has a major man crush on Luke.
Much love, Kesa.
Well, so we've...
Pete won't fancy anyone famous because you have to interview them
and you're very professional.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, I
think you're always setting yourself up for the fall
for fancying someone, sort of going, oh,
they're brilliant, aren't they?
It just seems like quite an old school way of putting it, because obviously I'm
married, so it doesn't really make any, it's not really on my radar.
Whereas you're not
married, so maybe it is on yours. Yeah, but like,
you're not going to be
with them, are you? No. So it doesn't
really matter, it doesn't really it doesn't really matter
it doesn't go into it
tell him
tell him he fancies
the one from the office
tell your good lady
yeah I really fancy
Diana at the office
like that Peter Kay advert
yes
when they go around the table
and he just goes
yeah oh
Jenny from Accounts
mine would be
Kylie Rae Jepsen's
I told you before
weird
yeah but it's not weird she came into your
consciousness when
she was like 16
I'm not having it
she's my age you idiot
wrong
in my mind
in your mind
she's young
but she's not
she's not young
we have this
conversation every time
Kylie Rae Jepsen is
I'm going to tell you
how old she is now
sexually sexless
popstrel
she's 34
wow
why is she singing such saccharine pop music?
I think you might be getting confused with that other girl
who was going out with Justin Bieber.
I forgot who.
I don't know.
She was the one...
Ariana Grande.
Right.
Was she going out with Justin Bieber?
I think so.
Oh, we sound so old.
We do.
I don't think she ever did.
I think they weren't friends.
Okay.
But you are getting confused about who is...
I think she is very young.
Yeah.
I think if you have a friend who fancies Ariana Grande
maybe if they go
into hospital
drill their hard drives
that's all I'm saying
just drill them out
drill them
with what purpose
just kill them
whatever's on there
why do you want to do that
if they're committing
horrendous crimes
you shouldn't be
aiding and abetting
oh next thing you know
you're aiding and abetting
a paedophile
I'm just saying
I've got a diamond
tip drill, guys.
I'll ask no questions,
but I will keep the batteries.
Is that how you...
I will leave you the batteries.
Grab the thermal paste,
stick it in the back pocket.
Grab the GPU.
Right, let's get out of here.
It's hit rock bottom.
It really has, hasn't it?
Thanks for your email, Kay.
So thanks to email for everyone else.
