Watcha? It's the Luke and Pete show with Pete Donaldson and Luke Ma, two boys with freaky secrets who don't give a damn about a thing. Oh yeah, baby. Pete, do you know what the name of the arcade was that sponsored Wayne's World in the film Wayne's World? God, no. When they sold out and went big time.

Oh, I don't know, the Tato Corporation? It was called Noah's Arcade. Okay, good. And then I was just thinking about that. When you started the show slightly early there, I normally give you the nod, give you the thumbs up. I didn't do that. Sorry.

You got bored of me and just hit the button. And you were right in the middle of some kind of Wayne's World fantasy. For some reason I was thinking about the film Wayne's World. You were dressed as Wayne and Garth at a recent Halloween do. And by recent, I mean October. Yeah, the most recent opportunity. The most recent October. My effort was a poor effort.

I think if I had gone to Larry David's, this is a Kirby enthusiasm reference, but if I had gone to Larry David's house, he wouldn't have given me any treats. Right. On two reasons. One, I'd be too old, and two, that my costume wasn't good enough. Right, okay. Is that a conceit from the TV show?

Have you not seen it? I've not seen it, no. Larry, it's Halloween, and these two 17-year-old girls turn up at his house, not dressed up, and say trick or treat. And he says, well... Where's the costume? Yeah, I'm not giving you

a treat I've done Bernie I turned into Bernie Sanders there you've done Bernie Sanders which is very easily done yeah very easily done or possibly

Christian Bale on set of Terminator McGee are you going to speak to this prick get out of my fucking light you're doing my thing and then you get my fucking light

where are you from that does actually sound like Bernie Sanders no he's more a little bit more like this. He's a bit more gruff. Medicare. Medicare. Medicare.

Oh, sorry. Just a small infraction in radio news space. Oh, sorry. The way he says, for all. For all. I was chatting to Ezra Koenig from the band Vampire Weekend at the weekend and he is obviously big

Lion King's out soon actually the new Lion King film is out soon actually do they do the music for it? no but it sounds like it sounds like it does very gap year very gap year

yeah they they're obviously big Bernie boys big supporters they play all the fundraising stuff I'll do that I didn't realise that

so I really like the Vampire Weekend record, which I think is modern vampires in the city. I think it's cool. It came out about, I don't know now, but when I was cutting around New York City, when I first met my now wife, I was listening to that record quite a lot.

And so it's got a special place in my heart. Is that the one with the cape called Quassa? No, no, no. It's long after that. It's the one that's got the old, baby, baby, baby, baby, right on time. It's not after that. It's the one that's got the old baby, baby, baby, baby right on time. It's not as Lion King. It's the one that's got

diddle-it, diddle-it, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. That's all of them. That's all of the songs. So what was he saying? He was talking about Bernie, was he? Was he feeling the burn? He was feeling the burn. I was sort of saying,

how's it all going? And he was like, and you could tell it in his eyes. He thinks that he's having a bit of a losing streak. So I think the burn, what he's got in his opposition is that I think he might have said some quite problematic things

in the 70s, which could come back to haunt him. If he gets the nomination, they're going to hammer him with it. Well, did you see Joe Biden talking about segregation? Yeah. The policies and says the state matter and stuff like that.

Wow, that's not ideal, is it, Joe? And have you also seen what the current president says now? Because that's also, to say the very least, problematic. Anyway, it is Monday, the 15th of July. I am fresh from. Are you? No, I'm fresh from. Allow me to finish.

I am fresh from watching the most remarkable match of cricket I've ever seen yesterday. I know you have no interest in cricket, Pete Donaldson. And you seemed quite, I'm going to say confused when I messaged you last night talking about how crazy it was. I just sort of said, what do I need? Do I need to watch this? You had no interest. Let's be fair. Yeah, but I was like, I want to be part of the... Yeah.

I want to be part of it all, but I just don't want to have to watch five hours of people showing off in the crowd. You were basically saying to me, you want to know what love is and you want me to show you. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I know you've got a problem with the way cricket fans behave, particularly with the beer glass snakes.

Yes. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the fancy dress. And the fancy dress. But this was the world cup final and really

you probably only wanted to watch the last hour and it was insane it was insane cricket match that ends in a tie

never seen that before I'm not a cricket expert then it goes to a super over which is also tied what's a super over what does that mean it's one more

one more match one over so six deliveries kids match you get to choose three batsmen the undertaker and mankind you finished what does that mean there's one more one more match one over so six deliveries cage match you get to choose three batsmen the Undertaker and Mankind

you finished and then the Undertaker comes out throws Mankind through a table he tombstones the first batsman does he still do

the tombstone Undertaker I think he botched one in Saudi Arabia with another wrestler so I don't think he'll be allowed to do it anymore is that how it works

he wrestles he was the only one who was allowed to do it wasn is that how it works he wrestles absolutely he was the only one who was allowed to do it wasn't he but if you take a wrestler's special move away surely that's their

lifeblood right well deathblood in this case he's the undead isn't he or the dead man it's nothing to do with the undertaker

or who's the other one you said mankind mankind yeah mankind's one of my favourites actually because he's crazy

fat man he's crazy no mankind's not fat was he's crazy no Mankind's not fat was he he had a big old caboose how do you think he survived a throw off

the blooming cage was he also Cactus Jack yeah yeah okay that's what I'm thinking of Mick Foley right Mick Foley yeah

yeah yeah he seems like a nice chap but it was anyway do you want to hear what the super over is yes there's three batsmen but you obviously have two

and if you get one out they're just hitting each other with bats and one bowler and you have to get as many runs as you can. Even that was tied, and England won the World Cup because they hit more boundaries in their innings than the other team did. Whoa!

It was close, man. That's crazy. That is crazy. So basically, it was like the equivalent, football fans out there, it was like the equivalent of a penalty shootout, which also ended in a draw. And then they had to find something else.

Something else, yeah. Some other reason. There's some guy in the long room at Laws going through some pieces of paper just going, yeah, it's actually boundaries. England. I would trust the statistician in that case. Because of cricket?

Yeah, because I wouldn't trust them in the realm of football. I wouldn't trust, if it had to come down to football, if it had to come down to some kind of statistical decision, I wouldn't trust anybody with that. But I would trust them in the realms of cricket because most cricket fans are deviants when it comes to that sort of thing. Perverts.

Would you trust our friends at Opta, Pete? Well, I'd have to, wouldn't I? Do we have a commercial relationship? No, we don't. Okay, well, fuck them then. I've seen them with their little Xbox controllers sat in the crowd. I don't know where there's Opta,

but certainly maybe for some betting companies to figure out how many touches each player has got or how many times the possession has turned over. There's a little lad just watching the action and every time somebody passes a ball, they click a button on an Xbox controller. They certainly did do up until five years ago. Yeah, I visited Opta and it was a kind of room

with a load of students watching intently a football match and pressing loads of buttons when things were happening. So it is fun.

I mean, open to mistakes. Abuse. Open to abuse. You know when people talk about cricket and they've got no idea what

the hell they're talking about. Have you met me? Like me, I don't know cricket but I want to be part of it you know over the weekend probably over the past week

there was a a little a little census a little survey and it surveyed like 100 men and it was like 30% of them thought

that they could get a pint of Serena that's amazing that's so funny but is that right? I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt and start saying,

well, is that just people who just don't know sports? What tennis is, yeah. Yeah, who just don't, you know, like when, because when I didn't like football, it was like when I was like, you know, 13, oh, just a load of million, well, probably a lot of millionaires then,

just a load of men kicking on a pigskin. It doesn't really matter, does it? It means nothing. Anyone can do that. Easy peasy. But they just don't know the sport or they're just not familiar with the idea of how professional sports people are.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Does that make sense? Yeah, because they have no understanding. They have no understanding about how different anybody picking up a tennis racket compared to what those maniacs do on the pitch. On the pitch pitch on the court

on the court I mean the Ugo of pole was it didn't say whether they were tennis fans or not yeah but the question is funny but just sports fans

anyone who knows anything about sport would know sure I have fantasies about maybe in another life I might have been

a good I don't know what's that is it marksmanry where you just shoot a gun and then you do a swim and then you have

a little run oh you talk about modern pentathlon yeah should not be in the Olympics it's just a very traditional sport it's been around

since the start so I sort of think well alright maybe that's the spot for me because nobody's really that into it compared to the uh the 100

meters you can't make much money out of it you've got to be from yeah money to be able to do this is this is the kind of thing that is behind a lot of these you know when um i have to use my words carefully here because i'm probably friends with a couple of them you know when comedians get to the point where they know they're not going to do anything right in their careers they start to think of wacky ideas and they write books about it and um it's things like oh i wanted to become an olympian in a sport okay so i choose the most bizarre or obscure sport okay well like um actually an exception this rule because this is genuinely a very interesting story and very good is paul watson not that one who um went to pompeiiii in the South Pacific and ran that football team.

And we talked about it on the Ramble. And it's a brilliant story. He did that because obviously he wanted something to do. But I think there is an element that if you, there are people out there who think, oh, I need to search for meaning in my life, so I'm going to go and become the best. It's like the same people who back in the day

would try and get a Guinness World Record for lying in a bath of beans or something. It's like the guy people who back in the day would try and get a Guinness World Record for lying in a bath of beans or something. It's like the guy who crossed the channel in a bath. Yeah. And I've waxed

less than lyrical about this before. The man who crossed the channel in a bath, it wasn't a bath. He'd made like a catamaran out of a bath. Yeah.

Like it was just, it was not a standard. We always wax less than lyrical, don't we? Just take my keys out of my pocket. But going back to that Serena Williams thing,

I was a little more cynical than you about it because it was run by YouGov who, and the polling industry is a very competitive industry. And this just smacked to me of wanting to get a bit of free PR

because they, the survey was, the question was, do you think if you were playing your very best tennis you could win a point off Serena Williams? So they could have talked to, say they interviewed

100 people, they could possibly have interviewed 12 professional tennis players. Within that sense. Around Wimbledon. Around the environs of Wimbledon. Okay, can you give me the names of the 12% of men who said it was Novak Djokovic? No, but then they tweeted, because this is the thing,

because actually 3% of women said they could as well. And I believe, certainly politically, for it to be a survey worth anything, it's got to be over a certain amount of people responding. I think it's 1,000. I think it used to be a survey worth anything, it's got to be over a certain amount of people responding. I think it's 1,000. I think it used to be 1,000. So if this is by the same token, then... That's a decent amount of money there, an amount of people though, isn't it?

3% of women said it as well. Right. And 87% said no. So you've got 10% there who didn't respond or said they didn't know. But in the general population, it was 81% said they couldn't, which they fucking couldn't. And 7% said they could, which they didn't know. But in the general population, it was 81% said they couldn't, which they fucking couldn't.

And 7% said they could, which they fucking couldn't. But, and then YouGov tweeted, one in eight men say they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams. So they're basically just trying to get a lot of PR out of it, essentially.

Well, yeah, I mean, that's... Men are stupid. It's not... The thing is, it's not the thing is it's not stupid though is it it's that toxic masculinity of thinking that you're better

than everyone else and thinking that it's also those type of people are having a bad week because they've probably answered that survey and been ridiculed

and they've spent the rest of the week getting really upset about Megan Rapinoe oh god it's been a wonderful some of the other things are going

it's this woman is ideal because the sort of men who get upset about the mega-repino being arrogant and stuff are the same men who will get upset

in the back of their heads because she won't fuck them. She's better than them at football and she's more charismatic and more important than they will ever hope to be. It is a beautiful storm.

So you weren't so that when you came, you were furious. It's done like a hair. It's very similar to mine. It is actually. Very similar to mine. It is very, very similar. But Jason on Twitter,

longwall26, if you really need to know, tweeted, and I retweeted this, it really made me laugh. Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent Serena does not return the gesture

she'd be prettier if she did I think she serves she serves the ball passes cleanly through my skull killing me instantly yeah exactly

which I think is beautiful but yeah I've been enjoying a lot of editorials about Megan Rapinoe and just the general drunkenness

and kind of giving no respect to the game of the US women's national team. It has been wonderful. Yeah. Because Zlatan got so close to winning the World Cup, didn't he? He got so close because we never really saw Zlatan

winning anything. To be fair though, the backdrop to that and people have said the same thing about Cristiano Ronaldo though the backdrop to that and people have said the same thing about Cristiano Ronaldo the backdrop to that is that they are both

called out regularly for being arrogant as well it's a running joke that they're both really arrogant and the only difference is Zlatan has kind of made it a little bit more self aware and Cristiano hasn't

so I do what I do think is a lot of this a lot of this is couched in fragile masculinity but I do also think that football coverage is universal. So there's never going to be a shortage

of any kind of forensic assessment of everything that's happening. And then to me, it looks like, I try and be on the outside looking in on this stuff, and it looks to me that as soon as something on Twitter gets picked up on it spirals and the reason it spirals

is because you've got all these dickheads over this side talking about Megan Rapinoe and getting butt hurt about it because they're losers and on the other hand

you get all these really right on people just piling in and it becomes a huge snowball it's a cottage industry and you're difficult Pete because you're a bit of both how am I a bit of both?

because you are I'm as wet as they come, mate. It's true. That is true, to be fair to you. That is absolutely true. That's what's been happening in the news over the last week, anyway. A little round-up. I feel like we haven't spoken for a little while.

No, we haven't. Shall we hit a break and then we'll do some blummin' emails? Yeah, we will. Because we've got a stack of them. That's people's favourite, isn't it? They complain when we don't do anything. I think it'll come. Gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest.

Not heard much from Julian Assange lately, actually. No, our Julian Assange correspondent's gone quiet. No. Our Julian Assange correspondent, or what do you mean? Well, the guy who kept E-Man in. Oh, about Julian Assange, yes. Okay, right, yeah.

I've just Googled Julian Assange. It's weird that being a Russian mouthpiece for propaganda and leaks like that he suddenly got a bit quiet he doesn't have access to any information According to The Sun

Amal Clooney told Julian Assange how to avoid arrest and flee Britain Oh So that's the latest news The plot's thickened Another reason why

we can't like a woman of colour in England or the US What for aiding and abetting Julian Assange? I don't know anything about it. I don't know anything about the story. Anything about it. Pete, do you want to do an email first? All right, then.

Lee. Hello, Lee. Hello, hello. I haven't heard anybody mention the school classic Raps. Do you remember Raps, which we used to play on the bus home? It's getting your knuckles chiselled down to the bare bone by one of your mates. Graphic and bloody enough to suffice, Peter. Oh, we used to call that knuckles. Knuckles. How did you do it? How did you make the knuckles chiseled down to the bare bone by one of your mates, graphic and bloody enough to suffice, Peter. Oh, we used to call that knuckles.

Knuckles. How did you do it? How did you make the knuckles red? So put your arm out, put your hand out. You do that. You do that. Oh, yes. And if you miss, that person gets the turn.

But if they flinch three times, you get a free hit. Right. So he's playing for my uncle. So if you do this, if you go like that. So play properly now. I'm going to hurt you. So play properly now, okay? I'm going to hurt you. Play properly now, okay? I'm going to hurt you?

No, it's my turn, you fucking idiot. I was trying to show you how to play. That probably made quite a pleasing sound. I'm showing you how to play, right? I've got considerably smaller hands than you. This is my left hand and you're right, so. All right.

So if I do that and you flinch, Right. if you do that three times, I get a free hit. So I can really load up on one. But if I do that, and do that, and do that three times i get a free hit right i can really load up on one but if i if i do that and do that and do that it's fine but if i miss it's then your turn oh okay the person the person to quit loses all right there we go so i don't play anymore that actually quite hurt oh sorry um and you can also play slaps where you do it like that yeah i remember slap like that

it's exactly the same principle is it the same as the red red river what's that where you sort of get your mitts on and go like that. You do all the animals going across the Red Red River. So you go, the ants went across the Red Red River and you just basically nip the bloke. Right, yeah. Oh, lady.

On the arm. Or Megan Rapinoe. Do it on Megan Rapinoe. Red River. And then it's like, and then the elephants went across the Red Red River and then at the end

you've got a Red Red River because you're scared. But where's the game element to that? What? Where's the game element? It's not to be competitive. It's just hurting your arm. So is it as many animals as you can think of?

Yeah. I mean, there's ants and then there's elephants. There's not much really in between those two. Snake. How would you make a snake hurt? Give me your arm, I'll show you. You've got nothing. Anyway, carry on.

You've got nothing. Yeah, it's suddenly dawned on me while listening to your last episode why my knuckle shin parts like the Red Sea

anytime it's brushed with anything remotely rough he's calling his knuckles the knuckle shin what's the shin of the knuckle

is it that bit there I guess so yeah weird beautiful but yeah keep up the good work as an Englishman in Sweden

you keep me feeling connected to the good ship Albion and for that I thank you England Englishman in Sweden you keep me feeling connected to the good ship Albion and for that I thank you England Englishman in Sweden

that's not a bad place to live I wouldn't mind a bit of that action myself lovely old job especially this time of the year I'm going to catch up with some stuff we talked about

a while back do you remember we ran that story of some people including some children falling into a shark tank at an aquarium oh no that's suboptimal.

I think I might have said that there were great whites in there. Now, I look back at the story, it didn't actually say. So if I did say that and it was wrong, I apologise. There may have been, though. The story, as far as I remember, didn't say either way. But some people got in touch saying that it's unlikely they would have had a great white shark in there

because they famously don't do very well in captivity. But we got a load of emails about it. Ben is the guy whose email I've selected. And he says, hi, fellas. Been listening to the show for a while. And you finally had a topic come up that I think I can actually help you out with. Hardly any species of sharks will deliberately attack humans. The vast majority, over 90% of recorded shark-related fatalities can be put down to just four species.

The great white, the tiger shark, the bull shark, and the oceanic white tip shark. Of those, the great white has come to be the most famous, but even most incidents involving them are a case of mistaken identity, where the shark mistakes the shape of the swimmer for a seal. Often if the shark is interested, they'll just bump the terrified person a couple of times,

realise they're not food, and swim off. I think we did mention that at the time. Anyway, they'll just bump the terrified person a couple of times, realise they're not food and swim off. I think we did mention that at the time. Anyway, he said there's also the important point that you can't keep great whites in aquariums. The longest ones ever survived in captivity is roughly about six months. I guess this is true for the oceanic white tip too, because they're proper open ocean animals that swim hundreds of miles every day. Bull and tiger sharks are also pretty unlikely as they're both really aggressive and you wouldn't want them in a tank with other species.

Had a quick Google and it looks like the aquarium had sand tiger sharks, which are actually smaller and much less aggressive than most other sharks. Long story short, aquarium suitable sharks are really unlikely to attack people. It'll be dangerous. Thanks. I love the show.

One last thing, nurse sharks and lemon sharks are the most common sharks in aquariums lemon sharks they're almost completely harmless and at times even seem to enjoy human company

and being petted and stuff like that sharks just get a bad rep that's from Ben to be fair a juvenile lemon shark with a little lemony hue

is wonderful I don't know I mean it makes me feel like they should it makes me feel like they get a taste of lemon you know when you get that scent what was the name of that shower You know when you get that scent...

What was the name of that shower gel you used to get, Pete, where it used to be really intensely smelly stuff? Sauce. Sauce, that was it. I may be using a minty version of it right now. Oh, can you still get it? Yeah, you can still get it. You can still find it.

Well, do not put that on certain parts of your body because it is painful. I'm a big boy. But that's what it reminds me of. And some people I'm led to believe might be tempted to be so into the smell of that because you can get lemon you can get mint

you can get all sorts it always just tastes of salt tasting it always just tastes of salt you're always surprised it's crazy it just tastes of soap right no it tastes of like salt

I don't know why soap tastes or maybe it's just for me it just really really tastes of salt actually we got an email from who have we got an email from who have we got here

about yeah it's from Leanne in Kansas City Kansas oh I selected this one as well

you found it Leanne's done the clean sweep here is it about synesthesia yeah yeah great as someone who hasn't listened for the very

beginning I've really enjoyed this summer shows it makes me feel as though I'm catching up with some of the recurring topics I hear you talk about. I was listening to several

recent episodes last week and I was so pleased to hear this segment about synesthesia. I'm sure you received many emails like this when the episode originally came out,

but I wanted to chime in anyway because I wasn't part of it the first time. You're quite welcome to do so. Leanne from Kansas City, in Kansas. I was wondering about, I always thought that Kansas City, the city, was in Missouri.

Right. And that was kind of the weird anomaly. Right. I've just checked and it looks like half of it is in, or some of it, is in Kansas. It's a dip in a toe. Dip in a toe. Maybe they're different cities. I happen to have synesthesia myself and it's only been in the last few years that I even

knew it was an actual thing with a name. When I found this out, I read a bit about it and found out that the type that I have, that of associating specific tastes with the sounds of certain words, is aptly called lexical gustatory synesthesia.

I have had this for as long as I can remember. I can recall being as young as three or four and experiencing the phenomenon of words having a taste. Excuse me?

Words having a taste? Yeah. Strangely enough, I also distinctly remember being aware very early that this was something quite abnormal or at least uncommon

and so even as a child I never spoke of it to anyone not even my family like a little secret fast forward to several years ago with all that change I'd heard of synesthesia

but I'd never heard of anyone having the specific one that I had so I didn't know it was classified as such when I found out bit of a game changer for me and I describe my experiences to my family.

People can have levels of synesthesia. Mine is probably fairly mild in that I don't normally experience a literal taste. When I hear a word, just a strong mental association with the taste. It was interesting to hear Luke describe synesthetes as people who suffer from synesthesia, as I've never once felt as though having this made me a sufferer of anything or have had a negative impact on me. That's a really good point, actually. I probably shouldn't have said that. I apologise

to all synesthetes out there, because, yeah, it's probably a wrong way of phrasing it. All part of life's tapestry, tasty tapestry. My 12-year-old son has been known to repeat a word to me numerous times in order to cause me

to experience the taste of it. If you are curious, if you are curious, here are a few examples of words and the tastes I associate with them. Strap yourself in, Leanne,

you're here for a three-cost dinner. Okay, here we go. Common. The word common. Common. So I didn't actually read this email through, I just selected it. Common.

What's the, what's the description? Well, Leanne right now is tasting peanut butter. Common. That's your, that's your breakfast? She's not tasting it, she's mentally associating with it. Okay. Yeah.

No, apparently it's, she says these ones go a little bit deeper. Oh, okay, right. Circle. Circle. Circle, right. Circle. Circle. Circle. Circle. Don't have too much.

Cold roast beef. Cold roast beef. This is ideal. Cold cuts. This is ideal because what it means is you're going to be able to taste these things, but you're not going to have the calories. Have. Have.

Listen, that's difficult because have is a very, very common word. I've just said common again. Oh, no. Have. Listen, that's difficult because have is a very, very common word. I've just said common again. That's more people. Oh no! So that must be an absolute rollercoaster. You've mixed cherry pie with peanut butter there. That works. Have.

That'll probably work. And also much, much. This is so specific. Canned mandarin orange slices. Much. I know these are bizarre and years ago I would never have shared this information

with anyone share marshmallow but finding out that lexicon gustori so this is yeah it was a real thing

changed my perspective and made me willing to be more open about it anyway thanks for bringing that topic back on the show I enjoyed it very

much much what do you think about that Peter I think it's crazy isn't it very much much what do you think about that Peter I think it's crazy isn't it just wonderful it must be like

you know when like I think about a rolled ankle and like I get a bit it must be like something that part of your head that just goes

associates something with delicious yeah there we go like the tears of people affected by

Megan Rapinoe's success. I love it. Megan Rapinoe, in my synesthesiast mind, is salty tears. Salty tears. I taste salty tears. I was enjoying her on the bus going, I deserve this. What, with champagne? That's because that reminds me of a story I think you told about a guy

in a toilet cubicle I told that story to a friend and he said he'd had that experience so I'm worried that I might have stolen that story from him

tell people the story anyway clearly a alcoholic in the toilet at an old radio station what the guy working there he was working clearly working there

he was in the cubicle and you could hear him sipping on tinned lager quite strong going you deserve this you deserve this

he's having a beer how do you know he's an alcoholic not in the cubicle not special brew in the cubicle where he hides all of the empties

down the back of the the toilet yeah it's not ideal it's not an ideal situation no it's not and hopefully you offered him the help he so clearly needs. Rather than just turning it into a witty

and depressing anecdote. Was he rubbing bread around the toilet? Have you ever drunk special brew, Pete? I think those kind of drinks are not as bad as you think they might be. Big fan of Skull. I think it tastes terrible. I've never had Skull.

Skull's nice. The only time I've ever had special brew is when I had a house party when I was in my probably early to mid-twenties and some hilarious wag. It would have been hashtag banter. Ha ha, look at me, I'm an alcoholic. It would have been Twitter and everything.

No, he brought some around. He said, bring your own beer. So I brought eight special brew. Brilliant. He put them in the fridge. Obviously no one touched them. And then we decided it would be an all right experience to give it a bash. Have a crack.

And it was disgusting. Yeah, I was very much of that kind of humour. But you know that liqueur that's in like a scepter? No, what's a scepter? I don't even know what a scepter is. It's one of those little balls that the queen has. That's a scepter, isn't it? I thought a scepter was like a spear.

No, I thought, I think, are you thinking of, I think there's something's a scepter, isn't it? I thought a scepter was like a spear. No, I think, are you thinking of, I think there's something else, scepter. Yeah, like a little ball with a steer. That? Yeah, but without the stick, basically. The top of a queen's scepter.

Oh, that liqueur in the scepter. What's it called again? I can't remember, but I used to buy it quite a lot when somebody says, can you bring a bottle of booze? And I'm like, I'll buy this. And it's actually quite low alcohol.

But it does come in a very pretty bottle. It's like an alcoholic mixer, isn't it? Is it called Chambord? Yeah. Chambord. Chambord. Chambord. Speaking of that, one of the New Zealand cricketers in the World Cup final yesterday,

his name was Colin de Granholm. Right. De Granholm, which basically, I'm pretty sure, means Colin of the big man. So you can literally say the

big man's done well. Nice. It's great, isn't it? Got a lot of time for that. Anyway, if you've got any chambour to send us, if you can

do it over email, it's hello at lukeandpeatshow.com. We will, of course, be back on Thursday with more of this nonsense. I didn't even get a

chance to talk to you about what I got up to on Friday night., be back on Thursday with more of this nonsense. I didn't even get a chance to talk to you about what I got up to on Friday night. Tune in on Thursday for more of that. I'll tell everyone. I'll tell you, Pete, and I'll tell everyone. Look out for that, baby boys. Baby girls. Have a great week.

We'll see you on Thursday. Peter, get us the hell out of here. All right, we'll see you soon. This was a Radio Stakhanov production.
