Episode Date: June 20, 2019

Lock picking. Fuelling cyclists. Bone conductors. Just three things you better prepare yourself for when you hit play on today's episode of The Luke and Pete Show. We also take in a truly incredible story about an ill-fated trip to an aquarium, hear yet more of your kebab-related stories, and Pete tells us about his favourite restaurant in Japan.

Luke and Pichu it's a day in which we can all enjoy ourselves episode 178 there's a Luke and Pichu back in your ears or I mean you can put it anywhere really I'd really like one of those pillows that have as a speaker attached so you can go to sleep

to I don't know I was going gonna say relaxing dolphin noises but as we know this has become the dolphin pervert hour. No listeners this show will ever look at a dolphin the same again. No. Say it not the clitoris. Can I ask a very almost can I start the show kind of a pretty embarrassing question. Okay. Based on tech because it's reminding me of something. Okay.

Right. You know when you see people walk around with those headphones on. because it just reminded me of something. Okay. Right. You know when you see people walk around with those headphones on? They're just headphones. It's just a thing that hangs around your neck. Yeah.

Do they have earphone things attached to them? Hang on, they've got things attached around their neck. Because someone said to me, I won't name them

because it's embarrassing for them in case this is a complete joke. And I didn't personally believe them at the time. Right. But I didn't sort of question it. I just went away and thought about it.

So you see people now commuting or whatever and they're listening to something. Yeah. But they've got this bar that kind of hangs around their neck. Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Right. And the little tiny wee wires go into their ears, don't they? Right, so that answers my question. I've never noticed that. But someone was telling me that they have headphones that tap into your

bones or something, and you haven't actually got to put something in your ears to listen. No, there are bone conductive headphones, but I

think you need to be a little closer to your, they usually do it through the jaw. I think the collarbone might be too far away from the head.

Why would you do that? I don't really know. Maybe you don't want to put something in your ears. I don't know. Apparently it's very effective,

like surprisingly effective. Like just put in, I think I tried one in a Dixon's in an airport. What, they sell them in Dixon's? Yeah, it's like a consumer product. You just put it, you put it in your jaw or on your jaw. What does it look like?

Conducts. Not dissimilar to those, to be fair. Because the bars across the thing are just, your Bluetooth and your battery it just means you can have a much higher capacity battery

so you wouldn't want to call them headphones anymore they'd be jaw phones or whatever I think there's a company called Jawbone

maybe very well have a product like that but yeah the bone conducting ones usually go across the jaw because talk to me about the speaker and a pillow thing

I've never heard of this either it's just a speaker in a pillow but it's really soft and you sort of put your head down and you can listen to things without actually having to have earphones in your ears because obviously that's very painful. What happens if you, presumably your wife or husband or boyfriend or girlfriend... No, they can't

hear it because it's just really, really low volume so the only person that can hear it is... Again, it's a conductive thing, I suppose, more than anything else. Are they expensive? are they able to buy them? no no they're like proper like those little catalogues

you get inside magazines that are going buy this piece of shit innovations interesting stuff Peter interesting what else have you been doing? what have you been up to recently?

all kinds of stuff I've been I've just got that bloody sore throat it's been tickling me for a little while I hope it's not the great cough of 2018 which I experienced

for a good two months it's horrible have you been to the pharmacist? not been to the pharmacist no I'm pretty I've had my teeth cleaned I've got to get a little

I had a chip on my tooth for like I've had it for like four years and it's starting to just get darker and darker so I better sort that out soon but I had a little check up

a little while-up uh a little while ago on a teeth clean um and she she reckons she reckons there's one that's uh a client for for a fill uh for a for a filling um and i've never had a filling before and i kind of wanted to get to my 40th birthday before oh really i got a filling but i think i might have to bite the bullet on that one you must have very good oh yeah because you're the fluoride in the heart of the puddle in water, right? Fluoride. Because I've had a few fillers and you're a bit of a sugar man, aren't you?

Yeah, we're searching for sugar man. You are. And that man is me. You could tear your way through a whole bag of Haribo's. I cannot eat food. I cannot eat a meal without really hankering after that sugar. And people emailing going,

you don't have to. You just stop eating sugar and you'll be fine. But it's just something my body does and goes you need a Mars bar yeah I get that a lot I stopped eating refined sugar in any meaningful way and lost two stone

incredible innit yeah it's beer for me innit yeah I suppose that's the thing if you want to if you want to if you want to maintain

a healthy weight while drinking beer drink Guinness it's very light in terms of because the calories all comes from the alcohol content

so Guinness is very light mate PJ sent this in normally obviously we have the

email section later but this is something I thought you'd be interested in so I thought I'd bring it forward

in 2002 PJ brought this to my attention listen to this listen to 2002 2002 mate

right right 10 people found themselves unexpectedly swimming with sharks after a catwalk over an aquarium tank collapsed and dumped them into the water wow 15 minutes they're in there how big was this tank for big why couldn't they get out it was the aquarium of the americas um in um in the gulf of mexico. Why couldn't they get out? It was the Aquarium of the Americas in the Gulf of Mexico. They couldn't get, there was, I think there were several visitors,

four children, the smallest of which was two. Right. Two years old, right? Yeah, in their 15 minutes with sharks

swimming around them. Wow. No one was hurt, seriously. Hopefully they'd been well fed if they were in there. A couple were treated for stress. Interestingly, reports say that most of the sharks instantly scattered and wouldn't come back. And obviously a spokesman for the fucking aquarium said

they weren't in any danger of being scared. They're in a shark tank. There were a great lot of sharks in a shark tank. Yeah. Yeah. We're great. We're sharks in there. So they probably were. Um, the talent,

the tank was 400,000 gallons. And you know what it is with, um, with this kind of thing, I suppose it kind

of happens a little bit. I kind of happened a little bit when I went to Disney world, you go on the fucking space mountain or whatever,

and you know that of course they, these things are impossibly safe. But I would argue that the very reason people go on them in the first place is to simulate danger

and just knowing because there's a chance something could happen, right? Yeah. That's the whole point. Massively. So when you walk over a walkway over a shark tank in an aquarium,

you're not thinking, this could collapse, though. It's not a theme park kind of thing. You're thinking I'm quite interested in the animals, I'd quite like to have a look at them. That is absolutely terrifying. The one thing I couldn't ascertain is that I was always under the impression that shark tanks

and aquariums for these types of animals are really very cold but there's no report of anyone having trouble with hypothermia or struggling or anything like that but 15 minutes in a tank that cold probably would have been quite bad

I guess shoelace aquariums are a bit warmer than the sea would be just because the warmer the warmer the water the more

I guess oxygen would be in there I guess I don't really know you've made that up haven't you well warmer water

usually means bigger fish so it would encourage the growth of the fishies, wouldn't it? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I've spoken about the London Dolphinarium before, haven't I? Oh, here we go again. I'm worried about it now. Oxford Circus.

That's where the London Dolphinarium used to be. I'm showing you a video of him now. Oh, that's been converted into that theatre now. It does 39 steps, right? I don't really know. It's on Oxford Street, so I don't really know. Is that on Oxford Street? It can't be on Oxford Street if it's Piccadilly Circus. Look at that. Look at that. No't really know it's on Oxford Street so I don't really know is that on Oxford Street it can't be on Oxford Street

if it's Piccadilly Circus look at that look at that no no it wasn't Oxford Street it's quite a small little dolphinarium but it's a tank and apparently

in the evening I think it became a drinking establishment I think that's what it was for and the there would be bikini ladies and the dolphins

would steal their bikinis and they'd be topless oh saucy carry on dolphins yeah so it looks like a very thin small building would be bikini ladies and the dolphins would steal their bikinis and they'd be topless. Oh saucy. Oh saucy. Carry on dolphins. Yeah. So it looks like a very thin

small building obviously but the fact that it's in Oxford Street is just a real weird kind of aberration. 1971. One of the dolphins

there being stimulated by a superior position clitoris. Yeah. I wanted to ask you one last question about this shark thing. Yes.

If you don't know the answer, which I suspect you don't, because I don't, but people can email in and tell us if they do. Do you think that those sharks, because the key thing

with the story for me is that the shark's scattered. Do you think they're so used to being fed that they just don't have any hunter's instinct? Yeah, I just don't think they're, yeah,

they're probably not hungry. So therefore it is safe then? Animals only like hunt, I'm fairly certain that most animals only Yeah, they're probably not hungry. So therefore it is safe then? Animals only hunt... I'm fairly certain that most animals only hunt when they're... It's like zoos. Zoos get a bad rap, and deservedly so. I mean, you're caging up animals. But fundamentally, animals only move on.

Animals only use gargantuan amounts of space because they've exhausted food sources in one place. But it depends on the animal. Yeah, but if the food is plentiful, the animals don't move. But yeah, I mean, Jews aren't great.

There's a story of that bear that escaped from a zoo years ago and they couldn't find it and then it was actually back in the cage because it got to the time

when it was being fed. Yeah. So it was like, well, why should I go anywhere? But that's quite sad though, isn't it? Because for example a lion's range

is massive but again they've got to hunt haven't they but if they've been served food all the time they don't so if you set up

a little stall in an area of a savannah yeah for a lion it would move it'd be happy there yeah fuck it

it'd just hang around out there don't package it up though what's it got to worry about yeah anyway so if you know anything about this kind of thing, get in touch.

We'd love to hear from you. What else was I going to say to you, Mr. Pete Donaldson? Oh, yeah, this is another story that I found interesting. Scientists have tried to find the ultimate limit

of human endurance. Okay. Which I was led to believe was when you refuse to take a second trip back to the car to get your shopping bags and take them all at once because you're being stubborn and your fingers almost all fall off

but apparently it's two and a half times the body's resting metabolic rate or 4000 calories a day for an average person and they found this out by analysing 000 ultra marathon runners who run 3 000 miles over obviously across a period of time um with the race across the usa which was i think 3080 miles in 140 days they followed some tour de france cyclists around

and some other elite events um But pretty interesting because some people can just do it, right? There's a guy who has got the record for running the most distance in 24 hours. I think it's quite a famous record in the running community.

I think he's about 52 when he did that, which is surprising, right? But he was saying, I read an interview with him years ago. I tried to find it, but I can't find it.

It might have been in a running magazine that I used to read. He maintained that, one, that it's all about fueling your body properly. And two, in that kind of challenge,

it's far more psychological than it is actually physical. I guess he's probably, I don't know if this is true, but I guess he's saying that if you can run 1,000 miles, you can probably run 1,500 miles. Yeah.

You just keep fueling yourself and looking after yourself. And this is about the psychology. And he said he wouldn't be able to do it if he was a younger man because you have to go to some really dark places. He didn't have the experience and the mental toughness to deal with it. Yeah. That's fascinating. Some of our best running years are ahead of us, Pete.

Marginally. Not with my knees. Wow. So what's that 4,000 calories so you're burning off 4,000 calories I presume so

so you have to to be level you have to eat that amount but there was a guy who tried you know when blogging was massive like tumblr blogs

and all that kind of stuff there was a guy who said I remember reading this blog and he said what am I going to do I love cycling I love the Tour de France

but I can't I can't really cycle so I'm going to eat all the food de France but I can't I can't really cycle so I'm going to eat all the food they eat every day and I think

he got to the second day and he's piled it in I think he got to the second day because they're taking on board 7,000, 8,000 calories a day he got to the second day and he

he gave up and he still had like a kilogram of pasta left to eat it's incredible. You just feel like constantly stodged. Well, I guess you wouldn't because you'd be burnt off so quickly.

But yeah, just any... And also like after I've eaten, I always want a little sleep. Oh, same. Just every single time. That's how you know if you're eating too much because if your body wants to sleep,

it's because it hasn't got the energy to process you being awake and process the food. So that's why if you have a Sunday roast, you always want a nap in the afternoon because your body's like give me an hour off here. I love a nap though.

Yeah, same. But I once interviewed a guy called Alan Murchison. He's got a really good cookbook called The Cycling Chef. I think he's a nutritionist for a professional cyclist and he's a very, very

talented cyclist himself. And I interviewed him once and one thing that used to baffle me when you watch the Tour de France, sometimes you'll see them just cracking open

a full fat can of Coke and like bolting it. And I was always thinking, one, that's like full of refined sugar, which your body's got to break down. Two, it's really fizzy and it's full of other nasty things, right?

And I was desperate to ask someone as to why they do that. And his answer was fascinating. I thought he said... It's radical, man. He said, let's sponsor a bottle of cola. No, he didn't.

He said that when he first started at work as a nutritionist, coming from a background of being a cyclist, when all the other nutritionists had never worked in cycling before, never understood what the endurance was like, the camaraderie, how difficult it can be, all these dark places you have to go to he said when he paired up with the other nutritionists for the first day nutritionists preparing things like cow smoothies blah blah cow smoothies superfoods this grains that whole grains oily fish and giving them up in there and i can't what they call the little bags they have on them but they have for their food because they're cycling for so long,

they actually have to eat and drink on the road, right? He said, little tip for you, mate, to the other nutritionist, as I used to be a cyclist, I'll tell you this for a fact, right? In 50 miles time, when they're stopping off for their feed, they're going to find the nearest convenience store they can find and they're going to buy packets of Haribos, cans of Coke, Mars bars, because the life of a cyclist on the road is fucking hard and it's fucking grim.

And when it's pissing it down, sometimes all you want is a bag of Haribo or indeed a can of Coke. And that's the only reason. There's no science behind it. No. So sometimes you have to have a little five minute break where you drink a nice can of Coke.

I find cycling just ridiculous. That level of anything. If that doesn't work, Pete, treat yourself to a little potbells, mate. I think it should be. I think that kind of extreme body modification and it should be treated with the same level of... I look at it the same way as a religious fanatic.

Yeah. It's just taking it too far. If you read David Miller's Racing Through the Dark, he's a guy who was convicted of doping and now runs a huge program or helps out on a huge program to combat doping in cycling. Please tell me it's called Not Belger no it's called

Racing Through the Dark should be called Not Belger that'd be great yeah and he says that he explains very very well

the mentality of why a cyclist will fall into that addictive kind of win at all costs mentality that it's very hard

for you or I to understand because they dedicate so much of their life to it to the point they're addicted to it and addictive personalities are I to understand because they dedicate so much of their life to it to the point they're addicted to it. And addictive personalities are very, very interesting because...

They can be useful, but mainly harmful. You look at someone like Rene O'Sullivan, for example. He said he's got an addictive personality and he's now clearly addicted to running. He runs like a marathon every other day or something ridiculous because he's got a completely addictive personality where he gets obsessive personality

which is fun too I think if cyclists yeah I think if cyclists get to that level they've probably got an element of that about them there's no way

anyone could argue that's healthy for you doing that right no massively not you'd be dead at 50 yeah well we'll be dead at 50

for another reason yeah exactly but at least I'll have had a full fat core exactly whenever I want one let's have a little break Peter then we'll do some emails alright then I'm going to press this button a reason. Yeah, exactly. But at least I'll have had a full fat core. Exactly. Whenever I want one. Let's have a little break, Peter, then

we'll do some emails. All right, then I'm going to press this button. Gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest. Julian Assange. Thank you.

Thank you. I was waiting for you to do that. Go for it, mate. All right, then. This is Gareth from Norwich. Hey, Gazbom.

Hello, Gazprom. Hello, Gazprom. Hello to both of you. Thank you for the continued entertainment. Make my Tuesday and Thursday morning dry to work less painful. Listening to your latest episode 173 and your conversation about kids saying the funniest things,

I'd just like to share some of the shit my youngest daughter has come out with. After my wife and I had split, I moved into a house share with my best mate. She told a single mum at the school that Daddy doesn't live with her mummy anymore because she wants to live with Uncle Lee. Oh dear. Sorry, because he wants to live with Uncle Lee. Oh right, okay.

Indicating that he may be a ethical man. Yeah. Presumably. She said to her friend, fuck off you twat at school. She then proceeded to throw me under the bus. When told that them words are only used by grown-ups, she said, daddy says I'm a big girl now,

so I thought I'd be fine, and daddy says it to his friends. She also once again at school proceeded to announce that she had shit herself. Once again throwing me under the bus by telling the teachers that that's what daddy says when he farts I've shat myself

she's come up with loads of other things that means now the school runs are far more awkward than they can never be recovered keep the good work Gareth from Norwich who will never get with that single mum because he has shat himself

and he doesn't like women I've been led to believe that if you catch a toddler or hear a toddler swearing you're not supposed to mention it right okay you're supposed to let them think so they won't remember it

yeah if you make a big deal out of it they know it's like a power thing right because everything's a negotiation so you don't reference it right okay unless they

repetitively do it in public shouting it the same way in a church yeah over and over again. Suboptimal, I'd call that suboptimal. Thanks for that,

Gareth. What about this from Tom? He says, hi Luke and Pete, I think you'll love this. Okay. I picked this out with you in mind.

He says, during the beginning of episode 172, Pete brought up the topic of lock picking. Okay. And various security flaws in common locks

and security devices. Tom says, I thought I'd give you guys some more information and interesting things to get um your teeth into i wanted to draw your attention to a phenomenon that you find in large organizations called key alike keys okay basically a massive number of in quote secure items like key safes locked doors to electrical equipment and the standard gray metal box that

clearly contains something important are locked with keys that are easily identifiable with a bit of knowledge and Googling, and even easier to buy online. Yeah. The biggest example is this. In the USA, the most common police vehicle is the Ford Crown Victoria. Many Crown Vics use exactly the same key, a Ford 1284X,

which can be bought on eBay for about 20 bucks. So basically, if you buy one of these keys, you'll be able to get into and drive away a police cruiser without ever even having to pick the lock. Yes. You're sincerely Tom. Pete, I'm annoyed about that because I've just come back from the US. But you will no doubt be there again soon

and you can try that out. I love any, I love, again, I think it started because of the lock picking lawyer. I almost, I almost bought a really really secure um army lock for 80 from 1988 a sergeant and greenleaf an sng high quality security padlock um uh the best in the business um but i have nothing to lock up i have no valuables no and i don't know why i'd want it but You live in almost transient existence.

I'm like one of those Japanese guys who's kind of just got rid of all Marie Kondo's life to shit and all he's got is little electrical items. A couple of laptops.

That's all you need. Yeah. You're a troubadour, mate. Yeah, but I find that whole thing fascinating. I find... Are you still living

in the studio, by the way? I find it fascinating that most locks are eminently pickable. And not only that, most of them have serious security flaws where you can just get a screwdriver and just open the back of a lock and open it. I think there's a part of every man that would like to be like Mike Ehrmantraut in Breaking Bad. Right. And just have a lot of skills, naughty skills.

So basically, Mike Ehrmantraut's a guy you've not seen in Breaking Bad where you call him up say look mate I need you to get around this person's house I need you to tell me what they're up to I need you to put

a couple of cameras in their house a couple of listening devices I need you to do it without being detected and also on the way back I need you to go around that guy's house

and kill him without ever being caught and Mike can do it we talked about Hitman was it this show or the show before where the reason people play that stuff

is because they quite like as horrific as it sounds they quite like the idea of being an ultra badass never detectable like assassin

there's something very cool about it there's a reason why there's so many of these kind of Assassin's Creed Hitman top video games right yeah people love it love sneaking about

love a bit of sneaking about what's the one with snake thingy in it Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid yeah he's a bit of sneaking about what's the one with snake thingy in it Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid yeah he's a bit more out and about now

Hideo Kojima's back with a new game called Death Stranding very soon I think it's coming out this year or maybe early next year and it's got

Mads Mikkelsen and Bloat with a Crossbow who's not a great actor from Walking Dead and also someone else I think Keanu Reeves is starring in a new video game soon as well he's in the who's not a great actor from Walking Dead, and also... Someone else. I think Keanu Reeves is starring in a new video game as well. He's in the video game Cyberpunk something something.

It's a new video game. He's also in Fortnite as well. But I mean, it's a win-win. If you just get Keanu involved, he's the darling of the internet, so gamers will just go, this is brilliant. Keanu Reeves is in the game.

I was quite excited at the weekend, thought I'm going gonna mention who it was but somebody in my industry and if you're familiar with my work uh you'll know what industry it is um we're doing a um show and uh her boss took her keys from her bag a long time ago took her keys from her bag long time ago now took her keys from her bag, went to her house, unlocked the door, went inside and God knows what he was up to I mean I think we can sort of speculate but let himself into

the house, luckily her housemate was home and went, sorry who the fuck are you? he went, oh I'm that person's boss, and then just got flustered and left that's literally a crime right literally a crime yeah

but classic industry that I work in back in the day the bad old days just gave them some leave for stress didn't

that's crazy right she should press charges man I don't know that's terrible very very strange not necessarily my story to tell but hopefully I've

left enough details out that the person will never be identified what reminded you of that story so I was telling it at the weekend

and lock picking lawyer I'm just saying he didn't like the security floor was the person in question was a

complete and utter sociopath psychopath I'm just thinking as well I know this is not I don't want to come across as

endorsing this behavior because I don't but maybe it's a bit more about my mind than anything else. But the first thing I thought when you said the story is like,

he's put that much thought into it. He must have thought that he might get busted. So think of a better story when you turn up. Have you got a housemate? Yeah, or what are you doing here?

Oh, you should have an answer to that. Yeah. You should have gamed this out. There's no answer? No. That's the problem. The problem is,

there's no answer that will not be found out. It's such appalling behaviour, there's no that. Yeah. You should have gamed this out. There's no answer? No. The problem is... There's no answer that will not be found out. It's such appalling behaviour. There's no excuse. Yeah. Interesting. I'm a massive deviant. And horrific.

Yeah. Do you know the guys who are still in the industry? I don't know, to be honest. I didn't know... Peach Wicked Whispers. I didn't know the name, and I don't think I want to know the name, to be honest.

Yeah, fair enough. Curious. Men are nightmares. Men are... Yes. Nightmares. Pete, we should probably tie a knot in

all this kebab chat. Why? Because we talked about kebabs a lot and we asked for emails and we've got a load but we haven't read them yet so I reckon we should

read some of them now. Sorry everyone. And then we can get that one done, can't we? Okay. What about this from Sam Westover? The kebab chat

got me thinking guys. My hotel kebab shop called Star Fast Food had a rebrand and they all got new t-shirts someone who ordered the new t-shirts

and new menus though made a terrible mistake and instead of Star Fast Food they had menus and shirts that said Star Fast Foot I mean in reality

there was probably a lot of foot in kebabs but they had these shirts and menus for at least a year and really leaned into the name you get a lot abroad you get a lot

of that sort of business like it was a great little who's the who's the and really leaned into the name. You get a lot of, abroad you get a lot of that sort of business. Like, it was a great little. Who's the baldy, loud mouth idiot man on MasterChef? Oh, Greg. Greg Wallace. Greg Wallace.

He did a little investigation. Greg, I'm remembering a name for you. I know, I know. He did a rare, he did an investigation into the quality of kebab meat and it was actually found to be very good.

Yeah. I have no problem with kebab meat. I think it's great. I think it's one of our finest inventions. Yeah. Because I presume you don't have it anywhere else, because nobody would put up with that level of crap. Yeah.

But, yeah, you do see, like, in foreign clans, you do see some hilarious, like, you know, human skin, mate. Have a bit of this. There was a wonderful restaurant they used to take friends in Tokyo that was emergency ER I think it was called in Shibuya

and you'd go there and they couldn't really figure out whether it was a prison or a prison hospital kind of theme they do have a lot of theme bars

so it was like a restaurant where they'd serve you they'd put like fucking condoms in the drinks and like dildos in the drinks and it's Japan so this is a place you would take friends to bedpans They'd put like fucking condoms in the drinks and like dildos in the drinks.

And it's Japan. So this is a place you would take friends to? Bed pans filled with blue curry sauce and stuff and just shite food. Absolute nonsense. But the menus were quite humorous. And you'd have like these chicken wings where they'd sort of paint the legs on them. So they look like fingers. And it was Freddy's claws, like Freddy Krueger's claws.

That's classic. And it did look a bit like his little weird claws, but the inscriptions were so funny and it's kind of like, Freddy went to hell. Freddy went through hell to bring you a delicious,

it's like a succulent meal. A delicious meal and all this stuff. And if you have a salad, this prisoner has no reason to keep you alive if you're going to be a fat prisoner eat this salad

you can't look after your own health you know in China they famously eat like every part of every animal right is it the same in Japan not as much no

but China's like the ultimate kind of food is paradise because like you could live there for years and still never eat the same dish

they use every part of the animal as they bloody should that side of things but you couldn't find like I mean you wouldn't be able to easily find

chicken feet in Japan the way you could in China you do see chicken feet every now and again I'm struggling to see why anybody eats chicken feet in 2019 but I was in a

I think it was like it was a video game themed bar slash restaurant and I had a bit of chicken feet. Any good? No, gristly. There's nothing on them.

I cannot understand the point there. You have little nails. You can't chew on them. You just eat the skin off the chicken feet. There's nothing there. My friend, Dan, he does a lot of travelling. He does a lot of repping. So he goes to different places, different cultures, genuinely all around the world. Repping does a lot of repping so he goes to different places

different cultures genuinely all around the world and he gets honoured with meals and has it the custom and he says like sometimes

like because it's seen in a lot of cultures as like the guest of honour has the most prized part of the animal but the most prized part

of the animal isn't really what we would describe as the most prized part of the animal no it's not a breast never a breast sometimes he's like

I just do what I'd love I'd love a lovely rib of the No it's not a breast never a breast Sometimes he's like I just do what I'd love I'd love a lovely rib of beef but he said that the worst he ever had I think was in the

Philippines and they basically got the intestine of a pig and squeezed out the waste of the intestine fried it with a bit

of chilli Really? There you go Yeah The shit Wow Yeah I mean that is law

I said to you, but I can't think of anything worse than that. It's pretty bad. That's worse than being given a fried up ring piece or something. You know? Spectacular. Anyway, Connor Christie as well,

on the kebab theme, says, on the Tucker Kebabs, I've got a story for you. A few years ago in Luke's homeland, I presume he means Portsmouth, me and my partner, he might even mean Ken's Kebabs in Portsmouth,

legendary kebab shop in Portsmouth. Ken's Ke in portsmouth me and my partner after an evening of walking or stumbling home went to the only food establishment open the kebab shop we got in there and began to slur out our order and suddenly my partner becomes um absolutely convinced that it's her dream to um to cut the spinning slab of donna meat herself nice obviously puzzled the boss man didn't know what to say. She kept pleading, trying to make him give up the meat cutting responsibilities. And to my amazement, he reluctantly agreed to let her cut her own Donner. He invited her behind the counter and handed over the large blade.

She cut her meat, we paid, and she left with her dreams fulfilled. Do not give a pissed person a knife that big. No, exactly. But also, a lot of shops um you don't see them quite as much anymore have that little um that little electric shaver that shaves off a very thin i remember when they came in that was a big that was a big moment community that but then but then they disappeared and just people use knives again now oh they're not a thing anymore no you don't see them people saving saving energy, mate. Saving the planet. Absolutely furious. Never mind.

All right. I got a message from... Speaking about men and women, feats of incredible physical extremity. Nick and Gareth, two people from up north. Hi, little Pete. My buddy and I went on a longish car drive and we started wondering if a human could swim to the moon. Well, it's 250,000 miles, so I'm not sure that would be possible. Hi little Pete My buddy and I were on a longish car drive and we started wondering if a human could swim to the moon

Well it's 250,000 miles so I'm not sure that would be possible After a quick Google search it was clear that it was insane to expect them to do it in one go

because it's 384,000 kilometres However it got us thinking about whether a person could do it in a lifetime After several minutes of Googling

and hypothetical maths we'd worked out what the ask was but needed a suitable candidate. Introducing Martin Strell. He's now 64, a man from Slovenia who is best known for being an elite endurance swimmer, who once swam the entirety of the Amazon.

Oh, I heard about that guy, I remember. Which is nearly 5.5 kilometres, in a mere 66 days back in 2007. It's 5.5 thousand kilometres, right? Say again? 5.5 thousand kilometres. What did I say? 5.5 kilometres.

Sorry, 5.5 thousand kilometres, in a mere 66 days back in500 kilometres. What did I say? 5,500 kilometres. Sorry, 5,500 kilometres. In a mere 66 days back in 2007. Very impressive, I'm sure you'd agree. However, the real question is, can he swim to the moon in one lifetime? So do some basic maths, taking a lot of hypothetical liberties, health, nutrition, boredom, etc.

We worked out that Martin could swim 75 kilometres a day. If he only swams twice a week, which is eminently man-in-a-moon. By the way, can I just say, 75 kilometres a day, that is a lot. It's still a lot, isn week, which is eminently man-in-form. By the way, can I just say, 75 kilometres a day, that is a lot. It's still a lot, isn't it?

Yeah. He could complete his epic quest in no fewer than 51 years. 51.2 years, in fact. I don't think,

I think that's too far. We did try and work out whether he could swim back, but we figured that the guy probably had enough by then. Yeah, he would have done, yeah. Mind you,

he'd be stuck there, though, wouldn't he? Exactly. He has contained the maths. Surf back. He has contained the maths, but he... But I think the liberties that are being taken there are too great.

I mean, the big thing is the water being in the universe, but that's the big one, isn't it? True. When I was at the Space and Rocket Centre for my brother-in-law's wedding a few weeks ago, they had a... I don't know what... I can't remember what the technical term for it is,

but you know the module that they come back through the atmosphere in? Yeah. The little capsule. Yeah. They actually had one of those. Right. They took it from the, it splashed down the ocean, they took it and they preserved it and put it in this museum.

First of all, it has three astronauts in it. It's fucking tiny. It's absolutely tiny. I would lose my goddamn mind immediately. Secondly, to have that in front of you and see that's been to the moon and back and see all the scorching of the, when it comes back to the atmosphere,

the heat proofing, it's amazing. It's absolutely amazing. I find the burning up in the atmosphere, I can't, I don't know why that happens. Like, I'm sure it's been explained to me many times.

It's friction, isn't it? I think it's friction. I know, but that's amazing to be hurtling that hard, that it starts getting real hot. Amazing. Well, yeah, it's incredible.

And, you know, do you follow the QI Twitter feed? No. They're really good. And they put, I can't find it now, but they put a tweet out a while back. And obviously they're all sourced and stuff. They said that in the early 1960s i think it was 1961 when jfk announced that man was gonna go to the moon for the first time yeah there's an american man right they didn't have any launch pads built and uh they had no idea of how to do it and they

didn't even know there was no even accepted consensus on the direction they should be firing the rocket into. So again, what's... He essentially gave them a challenge to get to the moon by the end of the decade, right? But at the time he made that statement publicly, there were no launch pads, no rockets, and there was

not even a scientific consensus about which direction to fire the rocket in. That's how basic they were. Risky. And within eight years, they did it. Amazing. Yeah. That's crazy.

And it was also 50 years ago now. Yeah. It was a space race. It was. The old space race. Anyway, Pete, on that note, we should probably leave people alone for a bit. I think so. And come back to them on Monday.

Thanks very much for listening. Hello at LukeandPete.comcom as we always say to get in touch about anything you want. We'd love to hear from you. Do follow us on Twitter at LukeandPeteShow as well. Peter, it's been an absolute

bloody pleasure as ever and we'll catch up again soon. I got a friend with a pole in the basement. See ya. Ha ha ha ha ha! This was a Radio Stakhanov production.
