The voting's never finished. Closed. Always vote. There's always something to vote on, to be fair. That take that dick out of your throat and go vote. Apologies for the rather crude start to episode 174 of the Luke and Pete show.
Starting point is 00:00:35 It's from Snoop Dogg's Doggy Style. I see. Seminal hip-hop albums, Doggy Style. He's talking about, you know, suffrage, universal suffrage. He wants people to get involved yesterday I mixed a bit of hip hop
Starting point is 00:00:48 with is this worse than when you told Doc Brown you love Wu-Tang Crew I'll happily admit I'm not into hip hop
Starting point is 00:00:57 I don't pretend like you you did not happily admit it you were walking down the street with me as well saying yeah yeah I love Wu-Tang Crew I did not say
Starting point is 00:01:03 I love Wu-Tang Crew I mentioned their name I said I think I was talking about the MTV Cribs where they all pretended that they lived in one big house which I thought was very charming
Starting point is 00:01:11 I said I think they live in the old Wu-Tang Crew and he went it's the Wu-Tang Clan and they and they revolutionised hip hop beat I went
Starting point is 00:01:19 yeah whatever what are you going to do by the way there's a lovely clip of cameraman Sam swearing in the villa a few weeks ago that I added to Farrow Munch's Simon Says. Fuck you, you fucking...
Starting point is 00:01:38 That's brilliant. Because he's really upset about his dolly for his camera making the camera go in the wrong direction. So the story about that is, and I think we should fill people in. First, it's a great tune. We should say, Peter, we should also say welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Welcome to the show. Yeah, it's nice to have everyone listening. And when we were away, we talked about it before, a week or so ago. We wanted to make a video, which by the time this show comes out you may or may not have seen
Starting point is 00:02:06 but you can go and check it out Sam who is a tremendously hard working very creative Welshman visual Welshman
Starting point is 00:02:14 visual Welshman he wanted to make a video where we did a preview of the Champions League final this was a football
Starting point is 00:02:22 ramble but the kicker is it's all done in one shot around this villa we stayed in so he's he's got a camera
Starting point is 00:02:30 is it called a gimbal? a gimbal which is like a small steady cam and he's it was all choreographed and we'd go in different places and take different routes
Starting point is 00:02:38 and he would follow us all the way around and we got very it took us quite a few takes to get it done it should do those things do
Starting point is 00:02:44 you think that the pool based video to And we got very, it took us quite a few takes to get it done. It should do. Those things do take a while. You think that the pool-based video to, what's that video for? I got five on it. Looney's. Looney's. They're all around the pool. And I thought, this is a bit like that Looney's video. Lunas video you're going too early
Starting point is 00:03:09 but it's okay it's a great tune it's a great tune and you like it because at one point it goes because you know I got asthma
Starting point is 00:03:16 in the video you'll notice I've spoken about this for no doubt as I caveat every story I have they're playing chess around the pool
Starting point is 00:03:25 and it doesn't look like anybody on set knows how to play fucking chess no all the pieces are in the wrong place and the game has just started
Starting point is 00:03:32 very weird that can happen but yeah to finish the story and then we got very close to finishing it doing it getting it done we got to the penultimate line
Starting point is 00:03:40 and the wind blew his camera yeah and he just screamed in my face, actually. Fucking whatever it was. Fuck you, you fucking... There we go. The presenter of Set Meals, an excellent podcast. Also available.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Actually, do you know what? That's reminded me. Uh-oh. People should listen to Set Meals. It was a great show. It is. And we can say that because I think I'm right in saying
Starting point is 00:04:08 you've also got nothing to do with it. I've had nothing to do with it. I think I might be appearing on it in a few weeks' time in Japan. Oh, of course, yeah. So from conception through to execution sounds like all of a sudden. Nothing to do with us, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:18 It sounds nothing like any other, not only any other food podcast, but nothing like any other podcast i've heard um it's all like uh atmospheric stuff a lot of it's done on location a lot of it's done through voice notes it's kind of smashing apart the idea that to make a good podcast you have to be in a beautiful studio with great mics now that of course helps but when you're creative around the format you can really get away with it and he and his mate taylor communicate with each other with voice notes they go and eat dinner together they experience different restaurants they go i mean of around the format, you can really get away with it. And he and his mate Taylor communicate with each other with voice notes.
Starting point is 00:04:45 They go and eat dinner together. They experience different restaurants. They go, I mean, one of the episodes, they went and spent a day in the kitchen at KFC. It's just a food podcast like no other.
Starting point is 00:04:54 It's called Set Meals. It's part of the Radio Stakhanov umbrella. You should go and check it out now. There's a moment in one of the episodes where Sam has set up a little meal in a beautiful place with him, his co-presenting partner, and their respective lovers.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And they're in a restaurant. Lovers? Are they illicit lovers? Or confirmed public lovers? God knows. They could be doing the table for all I know. Kids these days, Pete. There is no audio from the actual night
Starting point is 00:05:23 because wine had been partaken and Sam's trying to record him chatting to the waiter about the meals that they're about to enjoy and stuff because obviously it's quite foodie. And all you can hear is his co-presenter just going, just talking over the top of it. Really loudly. And it reminded me of eating with you. What are you talking about get the fuck up
Starting point is 00:05:47 we never have dinner together rub on your titties that's one of the lyrics from the song fair and much we never have dinner together on this on this
Starting point is 00:05:56 food note I had a fascinating interview a fascinating interview mother which is fascinating I think it was it was either
Starting point is 00:06:04 on radio 4 or on 5 I think it was it was either on radio 4 or on 5 live and it was about I don't know his name you may know who he is I don't I didn't catch his name
Starting point is 00:06:12 he is it the live streamer Ninja no who's that no she's already the most famous Fortnite player
Starting point is 00:06:19 in the world Luke come on get with it I've never played Fortnite and I've never heard of him alright what was I saying? You sound like a really angry manager.
Starting point is 00:06:26 This interview was with a guy who was one of the most strident, championing vegans in the country. Okay. And I think he might have even won a couple of UK Ninja Warrior series. Okay. And he was very much a kind of ambassador for a vegan lifestyle yes okay and he was he would be saying stuff like you know and i've done this because i'm a vegan and that's vegan power and all this kind of stuff you don't need to eat me and you can no cruelty trials all that kind of stuff yeah the interview on the radio i heard
Starting point is 00:07:00 was because he can't snaffle the sausage completely eschewed his vegan lifestyle. He came out on the radio and he said, to be honest, I've been feeling like shit. I've been attributing it to lots of different bits and pieces, but I think it's because I'm not getting enough protein. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing that. And I don't want to put words in his mouth,
Starting point is 00:07:20 but essentially he was saying, I now think that we should be omnivorous with our diets and I now eat very well looked after, you know, free range kind of meat and I make sure that stuff's ethical as possible, blah, blah, blah. And he is getting absolute pelters.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And the interview was really... Should he be though? I don't know. He made his money in his voice doing a certain thing and then he's like, ha ha, it was all a trick. No, but he's not saying that. He's saying that honestly, as far as I certain thing and then he's like, ha ha, it was all a trick. No, but he's not saying that.
Starting point is 00:07:47 He's saying that, honestly, as far as I can make out, he's rather honestly saying, do you know what, this isn't working for me anymore so I'm now deciding to go on a different route.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I think he had like a million followers on YouTube or something. Like subscribers, so he was a big deal. Is he still doing YouTube though? Is he still kind of... And after that... On his channel
Starting point is 00:08:02 with a latent million subscribers or whatever. They played an audio clip of him of him doing a video saying this is now what I'm up to and this is why
Starting point is 00:08:09 and I think people were upset I mean you would be yeah but he then they started getting into this real matter and it turned out
Starting point is 00:08:15 to me anyway it's my personal opinion that he seemed like a complete weirdo because he was talking about oh yeah and it's like when I did that
Starting point is 00:08:22 28 day water only starvation diet, you know, and that made me feel really good. And the woman presenting was going, what are you talking about? How is that healthy for you?
Starting point is 00:08:31 You know, there's no accepted science that says that's healthy. I've seen people doing water fast and stuff on YouTube and they do it as a lot of weight and friends presumably
Starting point is 00:08:40 because your breath will fucking stink. But I think... Do you want to do anything? Not really, I've got no energy. No, go on. Yeah. There was also a guy...
Starting point is 00:08:48 It's the sort of thing you can do if you don't have a job. Yeah. I always sort of think about these kind of like, you know, and obviously fasting, obviously people do it every year for Ramadan and stuff like that. And obviously, but people get to eat every day. So it's not a complete fast. But the situation is that
Starting point is 00:09:05 you know these people who sort of do these stupid YouTube things for money are just it's the sort of thing
Starting point is 00:09:12 you can only do if you don't have a bloody job yeah quite that's part of it I mean there's also that guy that woman
Starting point is 00:09:19 who this is a while ago now who decided that she was going to go on a spiritual journey and gave up food and water and tried to exist on nothing but sunlight.
Starting point is 00:09:28 She died. Okay. Obviously. Too much sunlight. Yeah, she got sunburnt. Sunburnt to death. But it's like, there's been a couple of,
Starting point is 00:09:38 I'm going to say like spiritual Indians, what they call babas. They call them babas. Right. They adhere to a kind of spirituality, a kind of religion out in india carl pilkington weirdly enough did something on it when he went and did an idiot abroad and they say stuff like um oh you know what and it's kind of that discipline thing like one of them would have this hand up in the air for like 40 years just because it's all to do with meditation and stuff right and they will say stuff like oh you know all i live on
Starting point is 00:10:02 really is um you know the the spirit, the Holy Spirit, water and sunlight. And it's like, you're fucking lying. It's a lie. Like physically, that is impossible. You are lying to people and you are also saying things
Starting point is 00:10:14 that are very dangerous and people will die because of it. And that is fucking terrible. I cite the bloke who was so spiritually connected to his own body, he decided he could climb mountains and stuff without any protection.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Dead? I don't know. It's just all bullshit, isn't it? People just film so much nonsense for hits and clicks. Yeah, exactly. If only we were more business-minded, Luke. And you said something on the show before last about... I say a lot of stuff, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And you are a renegade. You're a renegade broadcaster, mate. Exactly. You'll do whatever it takes to uh to pass the time but you were talking about how like oh you should have been skinny when you're younger because you hardly ate any carbs but it ain't about that it's about calories it's about calories and then calories out and that's all it comes down to at the end of the day if i'm overweight which i am bit i know fucking why i'm overweight it's like the old ricky gerv thing, when people will come to you and go,
Starting point is 00:11:06 I can't believe I'm so fat. You know, I've hardly eaten a thing. You have. You fucking must have, because that's the only way it works. The calories in, they're higher than the calories out, you're going to put on weight. And also, it's just beer for me.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Just beer. I like beer. How much do you like it? Have you got one like it? I will suck you off. What? Peter. What? I was saying, you said, how much do you like it? Have you got one like... I will suck you off. What? Peter. What?
Starting point is 00:11:27 I was saying, you said, how much do you like it? It doesn't come out of my penis. It's not a draft tap. Are you still a big Stella man? Yeah, I love Stella. Tisky.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Tisky Stella. All the big hitters. It's depressing to hear you say it. Why? Say some fizzy. Just fizzy. Fizzy. Do you want to find a bit chemically?
Starting point is 00:11:45 Nah, fuck it. Afraid you some fizzy. Just fizzy. Ah, fizzy. Do you want to find it a bit chemically? Nah, fuck it. Afraid you might taste something, Lager boy? Well, I mean, speaking of Presenter Sam, producer and Presenter Sam, he obviously went on a big one against Brewdog recently. I've got a few mates like that. I'll join in. I'll join in on that.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Did you say that Richard Ashcroft has been given his royalties for Bittersweet Symphony? Yeah, I've got to interview him at Isle of Wight Festival. Oh, you don't like him either, do you? Well, no. I just had a fairly rough ride where he was very excitable
Starting point is 00:12:11 about some certain topics when I tried to give him an interview earlier on in the year. I'll fill people in very quickly. Bittersweet Symphony, the Verve's biggest hit, they didn't sign off the sample which is attributed to Jagger and Richards
Starting point is 00:12:25 so as a result as part of a court case I think the Verve and Richard Ashcroft never received any royalties at all and they've come to
Starting point is 00:12:33 some sort of arrangement now where Jagger and Richards have signed off and now they can have royalties I don't know if they've been backdated but they can have them
Starting point is 00:12:41 which is kind of a big deal it won't be backdated surely not no didn't they blame it on an old manager or something who decided that that was the way they had to go?
Starting point is 00:12:49 And now that manager, I think, passed away, so they've decided that... I mean, it's all very good doing it now, but... I'm, for one, I'm entirely convinced that the increased income
Starting point is 00:12:59 for Richard Ashcroft will only make him more obnoxious. What was it like when you interviewed him last time? You said he was doing a bit of the old this, that and the other, wasn't he? I did not say that. I definitely
Starting point is 00:13:08 didn't say that, but I did say that he was very animated about certain... He was just very angry about Lily Allen and people like that. Why? Because Lily Allen sort of slagged him off saying that older white men get on in the music industry more than young black
Starting point is 00:13:23 men and women women which is obviously fucking true but she was and I tried to sort of play a devil's advocate or in fact just an advocate for the fucking truth
Starting point is 00:13:34 and he came back at me in a rather spicy manner seriously who do you think you are you're nobody compared to him he's got a lovely voice do you know what
Starting point is 00:13:42 I'm not a huge fan partly behaviour based partly music based but I think he's okay I saw I know. He's got a lovely voice. Do you know what? I'm not a huge fan. Partly behaviour based, partly music based, but I think he's okay. I saw Coldplay at the, I'm going to say Earl's Court actually, I think it was.
Starting point is 00:13:58 My girlfriend at the time was working at EMI. She got us tickets, went along, and Richard Ashcroft supported. I have never heard a better voice than that. He went out there, Earl's Court, on his own with an acoustic guitar,
Starting point is 00:14:09 and I was sat there thinking, because you know Chris Martin's not got the strongest voice, I was thinking, this is a big gamble, I know he's your mate, but bloody hell, give yourself a good 40 minutes before you come on after this.
Starting point is 00:14:17 His voice is incredibly good. Yeah, well he, well you said, you know, I said that he'd done this and that, he hadn't done this and that, but,
Starting point is 00:14:24 and I think you're conflating the story where he got, he was on soccer aim. Oh, that's right. Bag fell out of his pocket. Bag fell out of his pocket. Yeah, okay. And his management took a good week to sort of explain. It was the buttons, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:37 the little packet of buttons you get in a trowel these days. Spare trouser buttons. Spare trouser buttons. Obviously. Obviously. So, yeah. Said Ted Baker on the side. All right Pete
Starting point is 00:14:46 now we've slagged off a few people and all that kind of stuff. Set some scores. Yeah. The airing of grievances is over
Starting point is 00:14:53 for now. Let's take a little ad break and then we'll come back. I've got some good emails today actually. Seriously where the fuck is that beer?
Starting point is 00:14:59 Gentlemen this is Democracy Manifest. Manifest. Julian Assange there good stuff we haven't revisited this topic we've been talking about
Starting point is 00:15:11 in recent weeks of kids games ok I've got a couple here one is from Sweden obviously we had a Norwegian last time around we've got a Swedish one now
Starting point is 00:15:20 got to keep the Scandinavian guys equal otherwise they get a little bit oh actually they're not that rivalry sort of focused, are they? Because when we went to Norway to do a live ramble show,
Starting point is 00:15:30 we had a few jokes lined up about Zlatan. And the Norwegians were actually very proud of Zlatan, weren't they? They kind of, weirdly, they loved him. Which you'd expect.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I mean, if the biggest, if the best player in the world was English and you went up to Scotland and did a few jokes taking the piss out of them the Scots would love that wouldn't they?
Starting point is 00:15:47 They would but yeah I sort of yeah I guess we are kind of like I was sort of saying would we be proud of like you know Mbappe or something
Starting point is 00:15:55 but I was thinking well obviously we wouldn't but we're a disgusting island nation aren't we but then yeah you're probably the north south sort of thing probably
Starting point is 00:16:02 and then like Portugal and Spain are rivals and stuff so anyway I thought it would play it didn't play Anders B has been in touch from Sweden But then, yeah, you're probably the north-south sort of thing, probably. And then, like, Portugal and Spain are rivals and stuff. So, anyway, I thought it would play. It didn't play. Anders B has been in touch from Sweden. I was trying to even it up with Sweden-Norway.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I've now realised I don't have to do that. But he says, Hi, Luke and Pete. I'm writing to you regarding the game Block that Pete used to play as a kid. What was Block again? I can't remember. It was like Tig, but there was Abyss involved. Right, that's right.
Starting point is 00:16:23 He says, When I grew up in the 80s in Sweden, we used to play the same game. We didn't call it block. We used to call it bollen i burken. Bollen i burken. Which translates to ball in the tin or ball in the jar. When we played this game, one person would stand by a football counting and the rest would hide. When a person was found
Starting point is 00:16:39 you had to run back and touch or kick the football and shout out the name of the person who was found and he or she was out of the game. Since most of us played football also for the local youth team, it was a good opportunity to practice slide tackling, trying to get to the ball first with some minor injuries as a result. I don't think Mike Dean would have been impressed.
Starting point is 00:16:56 But if Pete wants to play block and is in Sweden, just to ask anyone if they want to play Bollany Birkin, most people in their 40s would know what it is. I mean, don't go around to kids in Sweden and ask them if they want to play a game. No, play Bollany Birkin most people in their 40s would know what it is I mean don't go around to kids in Sweden and ask them if they want to play a game I want to play Bollany Birkin dressed as the character
Starting point is 00:17:09 from Saw do you want to play a game on a little tricycle do you want to play Bollany Birkin yeah there was Bollany in the Birkin
Starting point is 00:17:16 diddly-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee and one of those trikes like the kid in the shiny yeah but the guy Saw also had one of those little trikes didn't he
Starting point is 00:17:24 it's easy to it's part little trikes it's easy to understand how games would get around in England because people would go on holiday
Starting point is 00:17:31 or they're older brothers and sisters or whatever but isn't it kind of interesting that in Sweden which is a long
Starting point is 00:17:37 way away separated by a large expanse of water but it's still kind of the same thing happens
Starting point is 00:17:42 maybe that's where it all started like most things did. What, in Sweden? Yeah. You got another game?
Starting point is 00:17:47 Because I've got another game as well. I've got one here. We haven't talked about Kirby. Kirby, yeah. The all-time classic. Yeah. All-time classic game. Two people standing on opposing sides of a road,
Starting point is 00:17:59 trying to throw a ball onto the opposing person's curb. Yeah, Paul Arnold's been in touch, Sam. Your chat about childhood games. I grew up along the coast from Luke in Dorset, in Bournemouth, near Bournemouth. And we would call knock, door, run and block one, two, three. But I'm interested to know if you played Kirby. Two kids on pavements, either side of a road and a football.
Starting point is 00:18:20 You threw the ball at the opposite curb. If it bounces back without hitting the floor and it's caught, it was two points. If it hits and rolls back over the halfway point, just one point, and it's the first to ten. What was it called in your area? Cheers, Paul Arnold. It was called Kirby where we played.
Starting point is 00:18:34 And it was unique because it was the only game I can think of which would use a football, but you didn't kick the football. Yeah, Kirby. Would you over-arm throw it? I can't remember how you would actually dispense the ball. I think technique was open to you. I think you. Would you overarm throw it? I can't remember how you would actually dispense the ball.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I think technique was open to you. I don't remember the catching mechanic. Yeah, if you threw it over your head and it hit the curb
Starting point is 00:18:55 and came back, you had a much better chance of getting it again, which is an excellent point. Yeah, so I don't remember the
Starting point is 00:18:59 catching bit of Kirby, to be honest. I thought you just hit it and you got the Kirby. And if you hit it, I think you'd be able to get closer. I think you'd be able to get closer by a bit of Kirby to be honest I thought it was just you just hit it and you got the Kirby and if you hit it you I think you'd be able to get closer
Starting point is 00:19:07 I think you'd be able to get closer by a couple of feet oh ok so you could go in closer which would make it easier yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:19:14 because you used to play it a lot up in Hartlepool yeah I used to love a bit of Kirby that and Wall-E do you remember Wall-E yeah Wall-E's a classic
Starting point is 00:19:19 classic so Wall-E would be where you would you would essentially nominate a wall and you would all however many people of you, you'd take it in turns
Starting point is 00:19:26 to kick the ball against a wall. But the kicker was wherever the ball ended up from the person before you, you had to kick it from. So the tactic would be you try and play it
Starting point is 00:19:36 at a real angle and if you missed it, you're out and the last person standing would win. I like that. We should have a little game of that. That's good.
Starting point is 00:19:43 If we can find a wall that will take us. And some friends. Mark, hello Mark. Hi guys, I like that we should have a little game with that we can find a wall and a ball that will take us and some friends Mark hello Mark hi guys I thought I'd offer
Starting point is 00:19:50 this tale regarding celebrity toilet sightings several years ago filmmaking egomaniac Quentin Tarantino was attending a screening followed by a direct Q&A for his latest movie
Starting point is 00:19:58 at Fact Liverpool a local artsy cinema a mate of mine was a massive fan and managed to get tickets he had a lovely evening and afterwards he went to the Crazy House, which I've actually attended. It won't surprise you to learn.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Liverpool's premier rock and metal nightclub. He was having a great time drinking cans of Red Stripe and peeling his shoes from the floor with every step. Then he popped along to the toilet. There he was, dutifully stood at the urinal, enjoying a tinkle, when in walked Quentin Tarantino himself. He stood just a few feet away. He's quite a big man as well.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Yeah, he is, yeah, and began to use the facilities. My mate panicked. Obviously, Tarantino has an eclectic musical taste, but the mate hadn't believed that he would actually be there. He was desperate to turn and say hello, but decided the best time to do so was probably not when we were both at the urinal with their respective jangles unchained.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Is this a whole route just to make that show? Yeah, exactly. It's very good. He finished his business, walked to the sink, and decided he'd spend ages washing his hands. When QT finished dreading the lizard, he would have to come over to wash his hands, and a much more appropriate scene would be set for my mate to tell him how much he loved his work.
Starting point is 00:21:03 After spending what felt like an eternity washing his hands in a tiny sink, the type you have to hit every two seconds to keep the water flowing, he turned around to see
Starting point is 00:21:12 Tarantino walking straight out of the bathroom without washing his hands. The dirty and glorious bastard. Yeah, disappointing. Have you ever
Starting point is 00:21:19 interviewed Quentin Tarantino? I haven't, no. I like the fact that he likes an Indian ite, which makes me worry that I'm a little bit like Quentin Tarantino. Not't no I like the fact that he likes an Indian which makes me worry that I'm a little bit
Starting point is 00:21:26 like Quentin Tarantino not a good looking man has a foot for Asia and also problematic views on certain other things as well okay
Starting point is 00:21:34 little bit of trivia for you Ian Wright hates Quentin Tarantino where's that come from I was in a green room with Ian Wright a while back a year or so ago
Starting point is 00:21:42 and the subject came up he hates the movies or the person he hates him alright I'm not having him I'm not having him so ago and the subject came up he hates the movies or the person he hates him I'm not having him I'm not having him this that and the other I'm not having him
Starting point is 00:21:49 hates him hates him wow I think probably because I'm reading between the lines and I don't want to put words in Righty's mouth he's a lovely chap
Starting point is 00:21:57 as you and I both know I think it's because he is liberal with the use of the N word in some of his films. And I don't think, right, he thinks that that should be done by a white director and writer. That's interesting, isn't it? Yeah, the director gives you a bit of airspace, gives you a bit of plausible deniability when you put the words in somebody else's mouth.
Starting point is 00:22:17 He's a really sort of problematic character as he gets older, isn't he, Tarantino? What's he been saying? I've kind of missed possibly a bit of it. Well, there's two things. One is that he had a real bad present of you with someone,
Starting point is 00:22:33 I think it might be Christian and Guru Murthy. Yeah, but apparently that was all just a bit of a work. He found it, I can't remember who he was talking to,
Starting point is 00:22:41 but yeah, he came out and he was like really thankful for the interview and it was basically a bit of a set up. Really? Yeah, and he was massively in on it. It was about Django Unchained.
Starting point is 00:22:50 It was about the racism within it and the problematic situation. I hope it wasn't even that interview. I'll keep saying problematic anyway. But the other thing, the other one that is recently was the Margot Robbie thing. Did he sort of shut down the interview?
Starting point is 00:23:06 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the movie and one of the guys in the press pack asked him, or asked her, I think, if she had an issue with having so few lines. I guess implying that he favoured male actors over female actors, which I personally think is bullshit because, I mean, look at Kill Bill
Starting point is 00:23:22 and all that kind of stuff. He has written some pretty strong female characters over the years. Did he do Jackie Brown? Yes, he did. Yeah. And he exploded at that as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:31 So I just think he's getting a bit more cantankerous as he gets older, perhaps. Don't we all? Don't we all? Listen, there's no excuse not washing your hands after you've been for a Jimmy Riddle. And if you're into foot fetishes, maybe don't put so much foot fetish shit in your films
Starting point is 00:23:42 because it's a bit weird. What's wrong? Why is it weird?'s wrong why is it weird what why is it weird it's just a bit it's exploitation you've got a scene
Starting point is 00:23:51 where one of the most beautiful women in the world in Dusk Till Dawn is pouring beer down her leg and her foot
Starting point is 00:23:57 is in your mouth if you're going to do that do it off get someone else and do it off screen we don't need to watch that
Starting point is 00:24:04 we don't need to watch that we don't need to watch a man get his get his jollies it's actually tequila is it tequila I think so yeah yeah fair point
Starting point is 00:24:10 alright good stuff what about this from Billy who and Pete do you remember we talked about pubs in the
Starting point is 00:24:20 Marswell Hill area in North London right okay I'm fully accepting that you may not remember and that's perfectly acceptable. But Billy says, Hello Luke and Pete,
Starting point is 00:24:28 listening to your fine show on the way to work the other week and I was happy to hear where I grew up and still live mentioned Muswell Hill. The Wetherspoons
Starting point is 00:24:34 in Muswell Hill is called the Mossy Well and it's very impressive but it didn't used to be a church. In fact, it was a former dairy. It is massive and very impressive
Starting point is 00:24:43 with huge glass ceiling that means there is actually natural light. So in many ways it doesn't feel like a weatherspoons until you see the prices and the clientele and there was a pub that used to be a church in muswell hill this is the one i was thinking of but it was an o'neill's but it was not much to write home about and then the weatherspoons opened a few years ago started serving cheaper and a wider variety of beer and o'neill's is now a Miller and Carter steak place. Now, if that steak place serves good food,
Starting point is 00:25:08 which I can't vouch for whether it does or not, that would be a great place to go for dinner because it's a beautiful building. Billy finishes by saying, I'm currently boycotting Wetherspoons,
Starting point is 00:25:17 but if either of you are ever around Muswell Hill, I'd break that boycott and go for a beer with you to show you the nicest spoons I've ever been in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So we're just reviewing spoons now. Do you remember I got very sick after a beer in the Witherspoons? No, I don't know. Christmas of last year. You don't listen to anything I say. Christmas of last year, I had three pints in a Witherspoons
Starting point is 00:25:36 and I was sick as a dog. Right. And apparently, everyone got back in touch saying, yeah, don't have the draft beer in Witherspoons, just have bottled beer
Starting point is 00:25:43 because the draft beer is difficult. Well, it was actually tequila so hello to Sammy DeBull Sammy DeBull on the email if you want to get to the show just a reminder it's hello
Starting point is 00:25:53 at LukeandPeteShow.com Oi mates we are your mates thank you Sammy DeBull two things to bring up first check out the mentioned Billy Next Door on YouTube to
Starting point is 00:26:01 perfectly describe the utter crap we go through in the USA I don't know what that's in reference to I probably should have googled that but second point is to perfectly describe the utter crap we go through in the USA. I don't know whether that's in reference to it. I probably should have Googled that. But second point is to tell you the horror a goose will do to a child's testicular area. What?
Starting point is 00:26:12 As a toddler, we had geese, and my job was to collect eggs in the chicken coop. Growing up in New Mexico, USA, the hippies, we wore no clothes as children. At the age of three, I was bit on the little man slash balls by an angry male goose and suffered swelling. Little winky. Little winky. That's weird, isn't it? Have you seen that video on Twitter of those ducks eating those peas? Yes, I have.
Starting point is 00:26:35 That's so good. My mum being a tough woman gave me a stick and had me hit the damn bird the size of me every time I got eggs. Still without pants. Needless to say, I am okay and have a child. Shout out to my son, giant, swollen-headed Simon. That's something I added in. His name is Orion, actually. So well done to Sammy DeBull and his child, Orion,
Starting point is 00:27:00 who's normal after a little bitey nibble nibble. It's a very good email, isn't it? I mean, I don't think I'll be very happy about my kid, you know, completely billy bollocks, going to collect eggs after he's already been bitten once on the winky, on the little soldier, by an errant goose. An errant, naughty goose. Goose can be quite big as well.
Starting point is 00:27:20 I feel like, I don't know, if I'm walking down a beautiful path in a park, perhaps next to a body of water, and there's more than a handful of Canada, Egyptian, bar-headed, or grey geese. I ain't doing anything. I'm a bit intimidated by that, because they're big. They're unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:27:45 It's why I didn't use to like dogs when I was little, because they're big. They're unpredictable. And you're outnumbered. They are unpredictable. It's why I didn't use to like dogs when I was little because they're just unpredictable and they just sort of jump around. It's like, ow, God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:50 But now I find that whole behaviour charming. And I know I keep mentioning my niece but she is wicked so I will just do it once more again. She loves dogs but she doesn't like their faces. Doesn't like their faces?
Starting point is 00:28:00 No, because I think she's scared of what's going to happen. Yeah. So she'll go round the side and pet them on the back and then run away. If they turn round think she's scared of what's going to happen. Yeah. So she'll go round the side and pet them on the back and then run away. If they turn round,
Starting point is 00:28:08 she's out of there. If you're petting and you run away, you're just asking for a chase, aren't you, really, from a dog? And she also doesn't understand that the
Starting point is 00:28:14 two cats I've got will not entertain her going anywhere near them while her movements are so jerky and she's so loud. So she tries to whisper. Oi, come over here,
Starting point is 00:28:23 you. She's like, ow, ow. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. And they're gone. They're gone. But I think geese can be quite intimidating. More intimidating than swans, I would say. People talk about swans a lot,
Starting point is 00:28:33 but I've never really had a problem with a swan. No, swans are quite calm, aren't they? I think so. Yeah. Don't get between a swan and its cygnets though. No, never do that. Anyway, Pete, that's enough for this time around, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Shall we get out of here? Let's get out of this foul jamboree, as you usually call it. It's been a pleasure. That's been episode 174. We're now in June. Can you believe it? Where's the year going? Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:28:53 We'll be back soon, and we look forward to that. See you later, babies. Until next time, stay safe. Look after yourselves and each other. Hello at lungpictureshow.com if you want to get to the show. Bye-bye! Oh, God. This was a Radio Stakhanov
Starting point is 00:29:17 production.
