We're back on the Luke and Pete show I'm Pete Donaldson I'm joined by Luke Moore It is a Thursday And over the past few days Since the last recording I stepped one step Or two steps

Or three steps Closer to death Yeah we all did Yeah Every single one of us Both in the studio And listening at home Is closer to death now than they were

even when they first heard that theme tune. Yeah, I've been watching a lot of the TV show Chernobyl and I'm concerned that I might be, I wanted to go and see Fukushima or the towns around Fukushima in Japan when I go next month. But now I'm sort of thinking it's probably a bad idea. It's weird that when you watch a lot of people getting their skin burnt off them. I couldn't get with

it. I couldn't get with it. Why not? I watched the first 15 or 20 minutes of it. Chernobyl this is.

15 or 20 minutes of it and I just thought meh. I wasn't feeling it. Had the explosion happened? Yeah it happens very early doesn't it?

Yeah. And you're like I don't want to see what comes next. I think we might have mentioned this already, but the thing that annoyed me was the fact, I would prefer, ever since Gamora, as I've said before, I would prefer them to be speaking in their native tongue and it to be subtitled. I said that early on and I'll continue

watching it, but I really think that's quite a beautiful piece of work. Are you still, are you speaking in your native tongue at the moment? Pretty much, yeah. I'm getting there a little bit. Episode 172 of the Luke and Pete show. Does your skin feel nice? No.

My skin feels nice because... My skin's regularly awful. Well, over the weekend we went to a villa and we spoke about it a little bit on Monday, but the soft water. My mum's always very obsessed with them, soft water areas. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I think we're in a soft water area, and you could really feel it when you're washing your face, how smooth everything was. Do you know what? The softest water I've ever experienced is up in Vermont, in the northeast of the US.

It's so... Have you been? Yeah. It's so soft that the tiniest speck of shower gel and the lather is good.

But you can't you feel like you can never get it off you. Yeah, that's the only thing. That's why I douse myself in vinegar. Rice wine vinegar before I leave the shower.

Is that why? Yeah. That's why I smell of chips all the time. That's why you're like a pickled onion. If you live in a soft

or indeed hard water area if you've got a claim to be living in either the softest water area of the UK or the world or the hardest water area, it's hello at lukeandpeach.com. I think I've said before I come from quite a hard water area, but they do add a lot of fluoride in the water, which means our teeth are incredibly strong. We don't have a lot of fillings in the northeast

because in low income areas, they tend a lot of fillings in the North East because in low-income areas, they tend to put more fluoride in the waters. Do they really? Is that a done thing, is it? I believe it's because people don't teach their kids to brush their teeth properly. How has your week been so far? Might be wider than that one.

Just chuck that in at the end. Could be wider than the mark on that. I think we should end every show with a little disclaimer might be wide of the mark on this one yeah just so you know how has your week been have you recovered from your weekend's excesses

it's been alright yeah I mean I didn't go I would argue over the weekend I didn't go hard but I did go home and that's the most important thing well

we went away for some other stuff on a trip to Menorca. Can we name the company? Give them a little bump. Yeah, Vela Plus.

Vela Plus. Nice of them. Added value, I think they call it in the trade. They're a lovely bunch of guys, so good on them. And they're a lovely bunch of coconuts. And we had to go and do some work, and there was a handful of us. I think there were seven or eight of us, and lots of other commercial people. But what happened was, the first night we were there very early start because at the flight i stand said at like yeah 8 a.m so i was up at half four and and then the first night

we were that was on the friday the first night we were there we went out and had a little bit of a party didn't we p yeah we did and the problem is we're now all getting older so saturday comes around saturday evening people just want to go home. People, the thing about Fridays is I always sort of go, I'll keep my powder dry to the next night. That'll be the big night. It wasn't the big night. The big night is always the first night.

You might have many plans about what night's going to be big and what night's not going to be quite so big, but it's always the first night you get to a place because people lose their damn minds quite frankly Jim Campbell from the Ramble Jim Campbell from the Ramble why have we never rhymed that we have

have we yeah okay Jim Campbell from the Ramble Jenny from the block he woke up oh he was feeling terrible wasn't he

for most of Saturday so I've no idea how he got through that day the responsibilities which to be fair for him were minimal but he got through

even on his scale yeah even by his standards but the he was able to get through and the responsibilities, which, to be fair for him, were minimal. But he got through. Even on his scale. Yeah, even by his standards. But he was able to get through. But anyway, I felt like I was coming down on a bit of a cold earlier in the week, but I feel fine now. There's just a lot of flying

that makes your eyes dry. I was watching this horrible video on YouTube. Why do you have to do this every time? What do you mean? Well, a woman who has got dry eyes and she went to this kind of, she looks like an absolute chancer. She makes this kind of mound,

like an anthill on your eye. She does each eye in order. She starts with the right eye and then she builds this kind of mound that looks like out of door, basically. It makes like a dam or a well around the eye. Have I missed part of this story? What?

No, carry on then. This woman's got dry eyes so she went to this absolute charlatan and she makes this kind of well or slash kind of like, what would you call that? Like a tube

protruding from the eye out of this door and it hardens. As in like bread though? Yeah. And then she pours in slightly warm a physium olive oil or some kind of oil,

into the eye and basically tells the patient to open her eyes. So she's looking through oil. That's bad. Well, apparently it's supposed to solve dry eyes, but yeah, I'm not having that. That person is not a medical practitioner. Surely. Surely not. Why is she putting her ocular health

into the hands of a door-slinging maniac? Why were you watching that? How did you come across that video? I don't know. If you watch anything, it's like... I mean, I'm just sick of watching the lock-picking lawyer. There's a guy on YouTube who just picks locks for a living and shows them how easy most high street locks are to pick.

Where's the lawyer coming to it? Maybe he's a lawyer, I don't know. The lock-picking lawyer? Yeah. I mean, that's got to be an undermining part of your name if you are actually a lawyer. Well, I mean, him doing... Do you know Dave, the lawyer?

No. The lock-picking lawyer? Yeah, I know him, yeah. Maybe he operates in a US state where you can't report what you've been up to in the courtroom. But yeah, he's fantastic. He just sort of goes... He buys a high street lock

and then goes, well, this is terrible. And then just shows why it's so easy. Either through brute force attacks with a screwdriver or a hammer or something or gallium sometimes, like the metal gallium that melts most aluminium. In Breaking Bad they use

what's it called? That kind of stuff. I forget what it's called now. To break in the locks to get the methylamine In Breaking Bad, they use, what's it called, that kind of stuff, I forget what it's called now, to break in the locks to get the methylamine in Breaking Bad. Okay, I don't know,

I can't remember, but yeah. It's like this weird powder. I just remember them getting the, I just remember getting the bits off and putting it on the train.

Or did they take it off the train? I can't remember now. That's a different bit. Is that a different episode? Yeah. But yeah, Lockpick and Lawyer,

he just goes through and just, Lockpick's the one last night that was watching uh is a bluetooth enabled the internet of shit is fascinating they'll just add bluetooth or wi-fi or

app based uh unlocking thermite yeah or well that's like an explosive sort of charge i think so yeah yeah and so like he you'll sort of find these like really bad products that'll just add like

wi-fi connectivity or bluetooth connectivity to to a lock. So you can unlock it with your mobile phone, which just means if your mobile phone isn't working or something goes wrong with the Bluetooth, you can't unlock your fucking shit. But he just got literally got a screwdriver, like a crappy little screwdriver and just did the back and open the lock immediately. And this happens more often than not on most high street locks.

I don't trust any of them, quite frankly. We talked about that, didn't we, with hotel safes the other week. And like, it's such a flawed concept. And also hotel doors as well. If they're not seated correctly, if the person who's installed the lock or even hung the door isn't quite with it, here, you can just get your, you know that piece of paper that says,

I'm having a sleep leave me alone do not disturb you can just sort of jam it in the locker and it just opens I wish it did say I'm having a sleep leave me alone

I'm having a sleep leave me alone a lot of them are like that now they're quite chippy aren't they yeah I always have that on don't you when I was away for a week recently

I think I turned it around to please make up my room twice in a week you don't need it every day I don't I don't ever have anyone make up my room twice in a week. You don't need it every day. I don't ever have anyone make up my room. That's why it's an absolute shit pit. My friend who's similar to you says when he goes on business to the Far East, he says that he does that.

But at the end of the week before he can check out, I mean, they take ages going to search because they think there's something bad's gone wrong in the room or something because they're very particular about it. Oh, really? So they make you wait for ages while they check out or they send someone up to check your room

is that more I think that's kind of Japan type area oh I've never experienced that in Japan I mean I'd be like

I'm leaving there's your thing I've done it it's fine weird there we go what were you going to say then nothing

I thought it might be somewhere a bit more where the the trade in flesh is a bit more popular. Well, maybe it is, mate. Maybe I'll get that wrong. By the way, your flies are undone. It's quite distracting.

One button's undone, mate. Out of five. Come on. Yeah, but I mean, that's 80% success rate on one hand. On the other hand, it shouldn't really be anything less than 100%, should it? Nah. All right, wait. Listen, let's take a little break.

A little breaky. Because we've got a lot of emails to get through, mate, and I'd like to catch up if possible. So yeah, take a bit of a break and we'll come back in a minute. Stop looking at my cock. She's going to report me for saying bugger, you know. Oh, just wait till I see your mother. You're in real trouble. Oh, I say, when's she going to go and see you?

Then tell her this bugger-shaped fucking sphincter. Oh dear. That's a classic, that one. It's an old favourite. Oh, by the way, before we do emails, did That's a classic, that one. It's an old favourite. It's a classic. Oh, by the way, before we do emails, did you read that thing about that lady who got found alive and well after going missing for two weeks in Hawaii? No. Where'd she been?

She's been, well, she went like, I think she was on like a hike with her husband or boyfriend, I think probably husband, and she sort of wandered off a bit and then she fell down a cliff and broke her leg. That's a definite argument, isn't it? What?

Oh, go off yourself. I don't think for legal reasons we have to say, I don't think there was any suspicion of that.

No, I'm not saying he pushed her or anything, I'm just saying that they were having an argument. Oh, they were out, yeah. She just went, no, I'm going this way. It's this way. Or maybe they had I'm just saying that he they were having an argument she just went no I'll see you later right I'm going this way

it's this way or maybe they had just a disagreement on which way they were supposed to go yeah and she walked off and she fell down a cliff

I don't think it was a huge height that'll teach you for a flounce that'll teach you I think she fell 20 feet something like that

which is quite high enough yeah it's high enough to do your mischief she broke her leg. Oh dear. And then obviously she was reported missing. No one could find her.

But 15 days later, a couple of the search team spotted her and they sent a helicopter in. She was in a ravine. Right. And they found her and rescued her. I think she was dehydrated. She had a few injuries and stuff.

Amazing, really. That's bloody dreadful. What a harrowing tale. And that led me on to read about a... I haven't got the details in front of me, but it just reminded me. There was a guy who was hiking in Utah and kind of like a... What's that film with James Franco in it?

155 days. 28 days? No, it's like 120 hours or something. Danny Boyle film. He cuts his own arm off. That guy. That twinge where he... I haven't seen it.

That twinge where... The point where he actually severs the last tube. I don't know what he got in your arms. From the last tendon. Oh, the effect that Danny Boyle uses on the actual thing. It sends shivers. It really is. I've got no interest in watching it. I can't bring myself to. like the last tendon. Oh, the effect that Danny Boyle uses on the actual thing. Oh, it's like, it sends shivers.

It really is. I've got no interest in watching it. I can't bring myself to. But anyway, on that note, it reminded me of another guy who I read about recently, who in Utah was out for a hike and got caught in quicksand. Okay.

His leg got caught in quicksand. He couldn't get out. But he was rescued like, I don't know, 12 hours later or whatever. But that's funny because when you're a kid, quick quite a scary thing isn't it i think it was a big thing in the 80s i think i think a couple of standards have done some bits recently where they sort of say how it's how often um television and cartoons would have you believe that you encounter quick sand all the time the time. I've never once seen it.

Do you even get it in the UK? I've only ever seen it on science programs where they try and create quicksand. It's just water and sand, isn't it? But it's quite gloopy. Yeah, it's not something you encounter at all, really, in your modern life. I couldn't find anything out about it

because there's a Netflix series called Quicksand and that's all the Google search brought up. It's impossible to find anything. We'll just write Quicksand actual thing. Quicksand and that's all the Google search brought up is impossible to find we'll just write Quicksand actual thing Quicksand actual thing okay you're the master

of the internet is that the sort of thing you type into Google if there's you know what if there's a film or a TV show or a video game

that clouds all others you've just got to be more careful with your search terms yeah if you put shit in you're going to get shit out

that's what I say. That applies to anything. Anyways, hello at Luke and Pete show is the email address, of course, to get in touch and send us what you're thinking, some of your thoughts, some of your ideas, some of your experiences. Yes. Peter, do you want to go first? All right, then.

Let's have a go at Ben Nichols. Hello, Ben. Hello, chaps. I'm just catching up on a few episodes I missed while I was on holiday and Pete's vicarious story of coming across Her Majesty in the throne room, so to speak. Oh, yeah.

Tangentially, this caused me to recall my soul encounter with the royal family. In 2010, I was working as a police officer for the Met and I was on duty working at the Windsor Horse Show, a Met police event, despite being on TVP's ground. Go figure. Despite being so severely allergic to horses,

I was chosen to be one of the officers from my borough who needed to keep order at this prestigious event. About six hours in, eyes and nose streaming, I was on my 50th loop of the parade ground with my colleague. It's so interesting to me, because I'm highly allergic to cats, less allergic to dogs, but I'm not allergic at all to horses.

You put dog dander on your mouth. Did it work? I don't know yet. I don't know. But the thing is, surely. You put dog dander on your mouth. Did it work? I don't know yet. I don't know. But the thing is, surely to put the dog dander under your tongue, that's to build up a tolerance. And then you're going to have to spend some time with dogs

to build it up further. Yeah. But your good lady's got dogs, doesn't she? That's my plan. Hasn't your good lady got dogs? Yeah, she's got one. And you don't get erect from that? No, no.

Erect? Erection? You said erect. I said erect from that. Well, do't get erect from that? No, no. Erect? Erection, a reaction. You said erect. I said a reaction. I don't get erect from that. Well, do you get erect from that? No. So it's work then?

A woman owning a dog, no. So it's work then? Yeah. Anyway. About six hours in, eyes are not streaming. I was on my 50th loop of the parade ground with my colleague. We were plodding slowly, chatting amongst ourselves when I looked up to see who else

but Queen Elizabeth herself striding directly towards me, flanked by burly close protection officers. Queen Elizabeth the second should be, shouldn't it? Because Queen Elizabeth died. It's a long email. 400, 450 years ago. Queen Elizabeth herself striding directly towards me, flanked by burly

close protection officers no more than 10 metres away. I hope this ends with him being incredibly allergic to the Queen. Sneezing on her. Not knowing what to do and immediately forgetting

the cautionary words of my sergeant to avoid her at all costs. I bashed out a rudimentary salute a police manoeuvre which went out of fashion with the cape

in the 1930s and briskly stepped back as she pow-wop passed us to regard the nags in their nearby enclosure. So that's interesting. So the police don't salute. I never reconsidered that.

Yeah. I don't know. Again, they don't wear capes anymore either. I'd miss a cape. If you're a policeman, this is what we've, in how much?

100 years? Or say 90 years? We've taken away the cape and we've added the high-vis. That's all we've got. That's all we've had. And a bit of m mess on the belt. The idea of a Victorian police officer

standing at the end of a dark street, dimly lit, with a cape and a top hat. Next to a gas lamp. Yeah. It's quite a cool thing, isn't it? It's quite badass. But how easy was it, though,

to get away with crime back in those days? I mean, if you legged it and got away, people would never... That would be it. That would be that. No DNA evidence, no sort of anything like that, no real advanced techniques.

Yeah. You're away with it, aren't you? And back in the day, people just used to commit a crime and just go to the next town or go 100 miles away

and you'd never be caught. No, no joined up thinking there. No. Shaken from my brief encounter with the most famous person I would ever see, I immediately realised

that I was being called on the radio. Fearing that my mere presence had annoyed Her Majesty sufficiently that I was about to be hung for treason, I was relieved to find that the only thing amiss was that there was a drunkard at the nearby beer tent who needed removing. My colleague and I removed ourselves to said tent.

She was similarly starstruck, I think. We quickly identified the pisshead in question and considering his proximity to HRH and the fact that no bout of cajoling could entice him to stop calling the barman a fucking cunt an accusation which may or may not

have been true he found himself getting lifted for being drunk and disorderly I love that term lifted but lifted

but nicked but nicked yes handcuffing our hero we frog marched him towards the carrier on the edge of the shore ground

for transport to his new overnight accommodation metres away from our destination and in the edge of the shoreground for transport to his new overnight accommodation. Metres away from our destination, and in the middle of the dirt track which ran around the circumference, he decided that his legs were no longer used to him, and nor were the contents of his bladder. Oh dear. As he wet

himself in a sad heat, we've all been there, propped up between the two of us, I noticed a 4x4 pull-up, its bumper set them away from us. Looking up, ready to give the driver a mouthful, or at least the evil eye, I was mildly surprised to see Prince Philip at the wheel, looking at me squarely in the eye, shaking his head as if it was my

piss slowly puddling in front of his carriage. Needless to say, we dragged our sad sack of humanity to the side as quickly as possible to allow Philip to pass. After that day, I never heard anything further from the arrest. Quite likely, the perpetrator accepted his £80 fine to serve Philip the hassle of needing to attend court

as a witness to his base behavior. That'd be funny. To date, this remains my only account with royalty, and I still cringe to think how lame I must have looked performing my salute to the Queen. I'm no longer a police officer. I'm now an offshore tax advisor. A well-trodden path, he says.

But I hope the story has some measure of interest to your listenership. It does. It involves royalty. It involves piss. And it involves horse hairs. Yes, it does. And, I mean, it done well to get away

with that encounter with Prince Philip. We know what happens sometimes when he's behind the wheel. Well, exactly. It's probably why he pissed himself. Prince Philip was coming towards him in a four by four. Funny.

That's really funny because it's kind of a combination of the most highfalutin thing you can do as a police officer, but also the most basic thing you have to deal with as well at the same time. I mean, that person who did that and was arrested, I mean, they probably won't be able to remember what happened. If they could, it'd be quite a good pub story. I mean, it's embarrassing. I pissed myself in front of a...

In front of the Queen. Yeah. In front of the Queen. Well, in front of Vince Phillip of the queen yeah well in front of Vince Phillip yeah it's still good though thanks for that Ben

what about this from Brandon who says Brandon hello pals Pete and Luke show I've listened for a while but genuinely never had

anything to contribute on my end that was until episode 165 and I believe it was Luke stating a fear of helicopters i had that same fear until mtv yes that mtv made me ride in one on a date it was the popular mtv show parental control for listeners outside of the united states or

younger listeners that may not know the show the overall concept is that the parents of the girlfriend hate their boyfriend and a ton of guys have a quick interview with mum and dad in which they each pick a different guy separate from their daughter's boyfriend to take her on a date in my cheesy head i wanted to play guitar for her so someone out there would see my talent but no dice mtv actually decides your date and they decided mine was to fly in a helicopter around the park in Los Angeles dropping water balloons filled with ketchup and mustard

onto pre-made bullseyes on the ground oh yes lovely you'd like a bit of that wouldn't you I'd like a bit of that splat

a lot of the filming was us continuing to paint a half-painted target because it was already half-painted same with filling up the balloons

they needed the cameras to catch us doing it though the reality is the film crew had really already done it. Long story short, we had a great date piling condiment balloons

on unsuspecting victims about 150 feet below us, and the mother picked me to date her daughter. Her name was Mercedes. She was from Laguna Beach. I doubt she listens, but if she does,

she should get in touch. I swear everything in this story is true, and even if it doesn't get read, I hope you enjoyed it. All the best from Brandon. It sounds like Brandon wants to get back in touch with this girl who he failed to impress with a helicopter.

How can you fail to impress someone when you're in a helicopter? If you crash. True. I am unimpressed with your helicopter, sir. It doesn't seem to be in good working order. I can imagine you. I'm unimpressed with your helicopter and you're going, I made it myself!

It's like a little gyrocopter. We're aware of kit helicopters and you're going, I made it myself. It's like a little gyro. We were talking about that when we were away with kit helicopters and kit planes. A lot of amateur enthusiasts in aviation build their own planes, build their own planes, build their own choppers

and stuff. You can get a little one-man chopper that you build yourself like a kit car. Could you see you and Stuart doing one of those? Would your dad be interested

in that? I am a bit of a coward but as I get older I find aviation more and more interesting. Would your dad have the skills to? I am a bit of a coward, but like, yeah, I do, as I get older, I find aviation more and more interesting. Would your dad have the skills to be able to do that? What? To follow a kit?

Oh yeah, I mean, couldn't everyone? No, I don't think so. If it was really complex, if it was really sort of to the point,

well, just do this and then put that wire in there. You're talking to a man who has genuinely been confused by like Airfix models and stuff. So I don't think everyone could do it.

But is that something you would be interested in doing? I'd have a crack. I mean, how safe is it really? Well, it's not as safe as a, you know, a peer-reviewed kind of like loads of people working on it and then testing and going through testing and testing and testing to see that it's all right. Presumably that's happened beforehand though. Yeah, but I would trust an aeronautics engineer over me with a spanner, wouldn't you?

Yes. Yes. If I see, listen, I'll tell you something now, if I walked into the office and you were standing there holding a spanner, I would be like, Ron, what's happened? What's happened here?

What's gone wrong? How have we got to the point where you're fixing something with a spanner? I've grown quite fond of my guts and I kind of want them remaining inside of my body so probably best that I don't do that

even though they give you a lot of chip they do give me a lot of chip I could pre-select if I could drill a little hole in my stomach

and pre-select the guts that need to be leaving my body so that the inertia of me hitting a fence at 170 miles an hour a fence

that's where you know it's gone really wrong you're not even high enough to get over the fence but you know on that helicopter thing you know it's gone really wrong you're not even high enough to get over the fence but you know on that helicopter thing you know Laura who I work with

on TalkSport she does a lot of stuff obviously a lot of different things and she was at a game I think it might have been at Liverpool it's not that long ago

and she works really hard she does like games every day pretty much and she was up at Liverpool and I think she had a game maybe at

Leicester or possibly Newcastle somewhere like that later that night or the next day and she wasn't really looking forward to the journey

and someone overheard I think it was Newcastle and someone overheard her saying she had to travel to Newcastle next and they were like

oh so and so is going in a helicopter do you want to hitch a ride with them? And then she was like yeah alright and so she got in the helicopter and flew up there hitch a ride with them and then she was like yeah alright and so she got in the helicopter

and flew up there on the helicopter I don't know if I'd be interested in doing that is this a story about a woman taking a helicopter yeah but it's quite interesting it is very interesting

you're at your workplace and you've got to go somewhere else and you're moaning about it and someone says come and ride in my helicopter that's a story of note I just always sort of think

do I need to buy a ticket for this because helicopters you don't have to like I've not got my passport exactly exactly it's crazy

I've not got a boarding pass there we go she posted a picture on Twitter of her in the studios and stuff with I think she's Corson or somebody else this week Twitter's not a place for women is it

no it's difficult it's fucking dreadful before we go do you want a Beluga whale update yes please this is from it's a Norwegian email fucking dreadful before we go do you want a beluga whale update yes please this is from it's a Norwegian email which always catches my eye

if I see an email in the inbox from like a foreign name it's always going to be interesting to me it's from Joachim Runderheim nice

brilliant name hello guys long time listener and several times unsuccessful emailer I genuinely have never seen an email from Joachim

before I maybe need to checked the spam folder. He says, I wanted to give you boys a heads up on the friendly phone-fetching beluga whale. Oh, yes. That popped up outside the Norwegian coast the last few weeks.

For those of you who don't remember that or haven't seen that, there was a video that went viral recently where a kid, or I can't remember who it was now, someone dropped their phone into a pool or something like that.

And this beluga whale swam down, picked it up in its mouth and delivered it back with a nice smile on its face. And yeah, Joachim's got some more information. His name is Valdemir, which is Norwegian for Waeldemir, which is an obvious play on a certain man in power in Russia. Now, news has surfaced that Valdemir has fallen ill

and there's no current info as to what is currently ailing him, but they suspect an infection. Just thought you'd like to know, considering the marine theme of some episodes in the last few months. Listen, Joachim, if you can keep us posted, let us know how his health is, let us know how he's getting on,

that would be absolutely splendid and tremendous. We hope he pulls through. A beluga whale of that kind of use. And don't forget, we started talking about him because there was that beluga whale of that kind of use and don't forget we started talking about him because there was that beluga whale that was found with a harness on

that was looked to be some kind of was it Russian spy? apparently so that's what we started talking about it would be great to know if he pulls through
