watcha it's the luke and pete show with me pete donaldson and i'm also joined by mr luke mill
how you doing look more what's better than recording a podcast um recording a podcast
and it uh the microphone's actually working recording it twice recording it twice listen
we've got no excuse not to do a belting episode this time around
because we've already done this one.
Well, we've already done this one,
but also I was very ill in the night because I'd gone to the wrong Chinese.
It's the wrong Chinese place, Gromit.
So I'm not feeling top tip.
Regular listeners to this, you mean tip top?
A top tip is like a bit of advice you give someone.
Regular listeners to the Luke and Pete show will top. A top tip is like a bit of advice you give someone. Regular listeners to
the Luke and Pete show
will know that Peter's
tradition is to get
a show.
Is that fiddling on
the roof?
Maybe.
Is the tradition of
running around on the
roof, is that a
tradition?
You shouldn't be on
the roof.
That's not a tradition
unless you are a
sweeper of chimney.
And you should not
be fiddling up there.
Only, now, my dad works in a solicitor's and one of the cases he had to deal with fiddling and you should not be fiddling up there only now
my dad works
in a solicitors
and one of the
cases he had to
deal with
was
he's an admin
assistant
in his later life
after his chemical
works and mining
little adventures
my dad's very much
like a video game
character that
turns his hand
to anything
over the years
like mine
you got tea
down your front
there
he had to deal with
or serve papers to a man
who was masturbating
in his front window.
Right.
And the solicitor,
his defence,
had to work out the angle
of being able to see his wanger.
Right, yeah.
From the ground.
Evidence is important.
Evidence is important.
So they were working out
how much of the person
they could see.
So they were getting his assistant to walk up to the window,
the same height of the defendant,
and check whether he could see his junk.
And you couldn't, so he got off scot-free.
I bet he did get off.
So I'm saying that the fiddler on the roof,
from the vantage point of the ground,
or even a fairly high window,
you probably wouldn't be able to see him wanking.
Depends on the angle of the roof as well, though high window you probably wouldn't be able to see him wanking. Depends on the angle
of the roof as well though.
But when you said tradition
then you sounded
you really reminded me
of Mark E. Smith
lead singer of The Fall.
Obviously the dearly
sadly departed
Mark E. Smith
and because you sounded
a bit like him
and one of the best
ever intros
to any song ever.
I forget which one
it is now.
It's a full song
and it starts with
Mark E. Smith
going into the mic
and going right, notebooks out plagiarists. It's a fall sign, and it starts with Marky Smith going into the mic and going, right, notebooks out, plagiarists.
This is a brilliant intro.
He's one of those blokes, isn't he?
To Depeche Mode, the fall,
I need to get into all of these bams.
Marky Smith, well, I think it's an autobiography
called Renegade.
It's a brilliant read.
I mean, some of the advice in it is amazing.
Like, you never have more than two chairs in your house
because you don't want the place turning into a damn hippie commune.
He got rid of, he used to have like a little Marie Kondo style
clear out of everything every couple of years,
which made compiling best ofs quite difficult
because he didn't have masters.
Just threw them all out.
Did he?
Get out of it.
Wow, amazing.
There was a story recently in the US
of a big fire
that wiped out
a load of masters
that will never be
recovered again
oh really
yeah I forget
which artists were involved
Mr Blobby
but anyway
Mr Blobby
yeah it was Mr Blobby
it turns out
the only ones
that have been ruined
were the Mr Blobby single
Informer by Snow
yes
Jump by Chris Cross
they'll never get remixed
and the original print
of Cool as Ice
The Vanilla Ice movie
Nobody will ever, ever, ever be able to sample those tunes
And those samples
It turns out
Terrible business
Can I just say that Informer by Snow
And Jump by Chris Cross are both tunes
They are
Did you see that Katy Perry got in trouble for copying a
Notebooks out, plagiarists
Yeah, copying a Christian rapper
Which is very much stealing from the blind really It's very uncool Yeah, copying a Christian rapper, which is very much stealing from the blind, really.
It's very uncool.
Yeah, I mean.
But I think that's terrible blurred lines.
Who's that fellow, Robin Thicke?
Yeah.
And his terrible performance,
his excruciating performance in court
has set an ugly precedent,
so everyone's going to have a go now.
I think he's set an ugly precedent in a lot of ways.
Yeah, exactly.
It's the red-pistachio.
But him doing that have a go now. I think he's setting an ugly precedent in a lot of ways. Yeah exactly. It's the rapist charter.
But him doing that and making
a jury be so
turned off by a
man so that he
lost all of that
money means that
everyone's going to
have a pop at
whoever.
Who would be
more turned off?
An audience
looking at Robin
Thicke in that
situation or an
audience looking at
you after that
Chinese lifestyle?
I just think that with stuff like that,
you need an expert jury.
You can't have...
I know you've got expert witnesses and experts
who could talk about samples and chord progressions
and stuff like that.
But I think you need an expert jury in cases like that
because there's knowing music
and then there's just knowing musicology.
So you'd like it to be more of an industry tribunal kind of thing?
Hugely, hugely, yeah.
Anyway, so as I was saying,
people who listen to the show regularly will know
that Peter's tradition to himself
is spending between £50 and £60
on a succulent Chinese meal.
It does me two goals.
You get through the week or whatever.
But things's sadly,
things have sadly
gone awry
last night.
So last night,
overnight to this morning?
Well,
I knew that it was
the launch of the
Football Rumble Daily
so I thought,
how can I sabotage this
by eating some
rotten meat?
It was very nice
but yeah,
something went very wrong
and I woke up
with a terrible tum-tum
at six o'clock
in the morning
going,
oh dear.
Have you been back
to sleep since
I've been back
to sleep since
yeah
well congratulations
yeah I know
I've got some
actually quite troubling
news
do you remember
Nadia from
Big Brother
that was a contestant
on Big Brother
yeah the transsexual
yeah I mean
Nadia from
Bake Off
not to be confused
yes
she does
a recipe section well she does I yes she does a recipe
section
well she does
I think she does
she does a TV show
called Nadia's Time to Eat
I think
anyway
wasn't Nadia Muguru
the first transsexual
on television
kind of as in
I believe that may be
the case
a mid market kind of
I believe so
kind of show
I'm not a big fan
so it would be difficult
for me to know
but I wouldn't be surprised
anyway
Nadia on Bake Off
also does a list of recipes
on the BBC website, which is a fantastic resource,
not least their Newsround section,
which obviously sent our show Haywire on Thursday.
As soon as I mentioned the words POSBRI CLUMP.
You actually, as the mics fucked up,
to excuse my parlance, you said,
technically speaking, and then our speaky technicals
just exploded. Well, it's Pawsbury Clump.
There's a volcanic eruption from Pawsbury Clump
that previously thought dormant volcano on the
news round section of the BBC
website. But anyway, Nadia
Hussain does
recipes on the BBC website as well.
In the food section, of course. And she's
got a recipe on here at the moment for meatloaf roll. And it was just served up to me in the BBC website as well. In the food section, of course. And she's got a recipe on here at the moment
for meatloaf roll.
And it was just served up to me in the BBC carousel.
And obviously, they know me well.
They just serve up food pictures to me.
And I click on them.
And this was a meatloaf, but it had an egg in it.
In the cross-section photo.
Like a long egg.
I thought it could be a long egg.
A long egg.
It could be a long egg.
Chief Keef Cooks. Keef Cooks. could be a long egg. Chief Keef Cooks.
Keef Cooks.
Maybe Nadia's a disciple of Keef Cooks.
So I checked out the method in the recipe.
It's quite Jesus-like, is Keef Cooks.
Yeah, and I was greeted with this.
Ready?
Line up the hard-boiled eggs in a row down the centre of the rectangle,
short end to short end.
Nadia, you've already, you're already cooking
some really terrible British foods.
Rather like a long Scotch egg.
It's not a long egg.
It's not long.
You don't have to indulge,
just cook anything.
You don't have to cook that.
That's awful.
The long eggs come across.
She's arrived late into the box
and she's spooned the long egg
over the bar.
Terrible.
Such a missed opportunity.
Let us down there.
No, because you'd have
to mess around
with the waste pipe
as Keith Cooks used to make.
He used to make
the long eggs
with the waste pipe.
Don't say waste pipe, Keith.
That's not the word to use.
Don't say waste pipe
when you're talking about food.
I beat myself up
about stuff a lot
and I think
I know.
It's one of my favourite
entertainers.
Keith Cook's
being aware
of our work
and us talking
about him
makes me a little
sad inside
because he said
it was a little bit
ill mannered
he said
or something
the memories live on
yeah
and I feel
very guilty about that
it was affectionate
though wasn't it
it was affectionate
who else has talked
about Keith Cook's
are you talking
about Keith Cook's sometimes I you talking about Keith Cooks?
No.
Sometimes I think people mistake my manner for being scathing or disappointed or kind
of like piss taking,
but I'm not always like that.
Sometimes I'm just genuinely interested.
Well,
I'm actually glad that we re-recorded this show.
I mean,
we're not reusing the thing,
so we're just doing another show basically.
Because of all the racism you put in the last one.
Yeah, I know, yeah.
I just, I mean, I had to get rid of that.
The microphone just went,
you know what, Pete?
I'm saving you from yourself here.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we missed out on...
Sorry, go on, you go first.
You go first.
I went to a really, really fun party,
like a garden party,
on Saturday in Nebworth.
And the dad of the person I went to the party with,
it was actually Joe.
You remember we did the Windsor Knot?
Yeah.
Joe, Josh Krebbel's.
Yeah.
He's one of those Windsor Knotters.
Yeah.
Actually, they were both there,
but it was his birthday, his 30th.
And his dad is a Michael Keaton lookalike.
Like, not lookalike as in...
Like a professional one.
Like a professional on set
double
is he?
yeah
that's amazing
he plays Michael Keaton
does he actually look like him?
yeah he does
like a lot from the back as well
like you could not tell
the difference in the back
so I was like
just following him around
going wow this is so cool
that's brilliant
what a great job
so I've become obsessed
does it pay well?
yeah I think so
and like you know
you get to hang out with
apparently like Danny DeVito and that were on set going,
Hey, it's Michael Keaton.
That's amazing, isn't it?
How cool is that?
He's really nice.
So I met a Michael Keaton double.
So if you see in the long shots of Dumbo,
which I think might be out now or out soon.
That's been out for a while.
I didn't know he was in that.
I thought it was a Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito vehicle.
Yeah, I think he's there. I think he's some kind of ringmaster. I think he know he was in that. I thought it was a Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito vehicle. Yeah, I think he's
there.
I think he's some
kind of ringmaster.
I think he's the
malevolent ringmaster.
Right, okay.
I think he would
play that role fairly
well.
One thing that was
missed out on the
now infamous
Lost show is that
we talked a lot
about rolling of
R's.
R, yeah.
And I can't do it and you can.
And you were saying how it adds a lot of impact
to a statement or a speech or a song.
Rit Petit.
It's a good example.
It's the best example, I would say.
It's the best example.
Probably the best example you can think of.
And I was saying,
the guy from that new band Fontaine's DC does it.
Right, yeah. Quite a bit new band Fontaine's DC does it quite a bit
and obviously
Julian Assange does it
when he's arrested
for eating a suck
of a Chinese meal
he says this is
Democracy Manifest
right
this is Democracy Manifest
oh that's quite good
I enjoyed it
Democracy Manifest
that's it
exactly
he's got a bit of
the Oliver Reed
about him that guy
he has a little bit
apparently
it's really confusing
like somebody pointed out that it's a three camera little bit. Apparently, it's really confusing.
Somebody pointed out that it's a three-camera setup,
so I think it might be staged.
Why do they have to steal everything good away from us?
No, it's not.
It can't be.
I'll tell you it's not staged.
I'll tell you why.
Why has he got three cameras then?
Well, because the story, if you look at the backstory,
he is a guy who had been running from restaurants without paying the bill for years.
And it was kind of quite a big crime story.
And they realised they finally found this.
All the news networks went.
Why would one network bring three cameras?
Bring three cameras, Luke!
No, they probably submitted footage to a central database,
and then someone came in and edited it.
Edited it, yeah.
They're usually really...
But it could be a YouTuber
who's cutting it together.
Really?
That seems strange.
So I used to work
with a guy
who insisted,
and it was the most
cynical thing in the world.
I hate to be a
democracy manifesto truther,
but I fear we might
have been done on this one.
What do you think
about this one then?
Because you know a lot
about the internet.
A guy I used to work with
used to always say,
and this is probably maybe two years ago,
that nothing on the internet, nothing,
is organically viral.
Nothing.
What do you mean?
So it's all paid behind it, money behind it,
content provided, all that kind of stuff.
No.
You disagree with that?
I disagree with that, yes.
All right, good.
Dan Thomas, I hope you're listening. Yeah, Dan? What's Reddit for, then, mate? I disagree with that, yes. Alright, good. Dan Thomas,
I hope you're listening.
Yeah, Dan?
What's Reddit for, mate?
I've got a bloke
in here who's part internet.
I'm going to downvote you
in a minute.
Maybe he meant
anything commercial, perhaps.
Yeah.
Yeah, anything like that.
That's part of the budget
of getting the bloody video,
isn't it?
Unless you're
footballing around with Daily
and you smash it into
250,000 views
with no money behind it at all.
Why are people looking at that? Because you're in it. Oh. And you've got that Chinese guy daily and you smash into 250,000 views with no money behind it at all. Why are people looking at that?
Because you're in it.
Oh.
And you had that Chinese guy stalking you in the background.
He was Chinese, yeah.
Yeah.
I've noticed that a lot of street photographers just basically hang around Chinatown.
And if you're living in a city that has a Chinatown, you're probably...
Living just enough, just enough for the city.
For the Christian shred of beef in Chinatown
if you've got
Chinatown in your
city
you're probably
thinking
hey
it's a big old
bit of town
or Korea town
or whatever
in Los Angeles
we've just got
a little street
haven't we
it's a tiny little
street in Soho
you live in it
don't you
I live behind it
it's Shaftesbury
Avenue between me
and it
and yeah
it just seems
street photography
street photography
modern street photography
is just
find a Chinese person
take a picture of them
if you go to any
if you go to any
street photography
kind of receptacle
any Instagram
street photographer
all they're doing is
going up to Chinese people
in Chinatown
and taking a picture of them
it just seems to be
the thing to do
my favourite Instagram photography account
is the one,
I forget what it's called now.
It might just be the Visit Scotland account,
which is essentially just amazing photos
of Scottish castles.
It's amazing.
Really long exposure,
waterfalls,
so that the water looks really formy.
Yeah, all I do,
sometimes they'll recycle the same castle
once every two or three days.
I don't mind though.
There he is again. Yeah, I don't mind, though. There he is again.
Yeah, I don't mind.
Liberty Bell.
Before we go on to taking a quick break and then going to emails,
another story that I really wanted to include, Peter,
that you will be interested in is, what about this?
Someone went and found the baby from Labyrinth.
Okay, right.
So you know the baby that is kidnapped in Labyrinth, the David Bowie film.
And he's now 35.
Right, okay.
Okay.
He's a puppeteer.
Oh, that's lovely.
Yeah, what a story.
I've got a lot of time for that.
He was apparently absolutely fascinated by the fantastic characters that surrounded his childhood.
And now he makes short films and features.
Usually he specializes in trolls.
But he's also worked on blockbuster films
such as the Narnia movies.
And he says he's always been immersed in this fantasy world
and has vivid memories of the faces of goblins, trolls
and other fantastic creatures.
He also remembers peeing on David Bowie's lap.
Liar.
It's a lie.
Complete bullshit, that.
Because I think he was about six months old.
I'm not having that one.
But it's fascinating. Has he managed to resurrect Hoggle? Because I think he was about six months old. I'm not having that one. But it's fascinating.
Has he managed to resurrect Hoggle?
Because I think we spoke about this before.
Hoggle has been left to come into some sort of state of disrepair.
You know, Hoggle is actually at the...
So, we've talked about this before, but very, very quickly.
Hoggle was left as an unclaimed piece of baggage,
or at least one of them was,
and is on show
at a thrift store
in, I think, Huntsville, Alabama.
Really?
Yeah.
There's three of them, though.
Right.
There were three used.
Well, there was one
that's not been kept very well
because of the form in his nose
and stuff is all...
You know, like,
if you ever buy an old computer
off of eBay,
you'll occasionally get
this bright yellow
fire-retardant form,
which looks like, I don't know, asbestosos or something yeah um and it doesn't keep very well uh and it and it just kind of crumbles
into a fine dust i think that's what happened to hoggle's nose um so the whole um the whole
um face of hoggle give it a google hoggle now type that into google and you'll and you'll find
find some horrible pictures of Hoggle
in some state
of disrepair
Labyrinth Hoggle
now
alright
look at him
look at the state of him
oh that is horrific
that's really
really sad
there's your childhood baby
I can't look at it
there's your childhood baby
but then they
they managed to
they managed to
kind of redo it up
and he looks
bloody awful
look at the state of that.
Does he look anything like it? He looks like he's been on crack.
I should have left it.
Alright Pete, let's take a quick break
and after that we'll come back with
some emails.
We'll come back.
She's going to report me for saying bugger, you know.
Oh, just wait till I see your mother. You're in real
trouble. Oh, I say, well if you're going to go and see her
then tell her this buggerer shape, fuck shape,
fucking sphincter.
There we go.
If Brian Blessed did grow up
to be slightly an old man,
right wing kind of character,
I'm glad he hasn't expressed it yet.
I think he's one of those people
who's a bit above the whole political thing.
Right.
Because he seems to be someone
who just operates on a higher plane.
You know the royal family refused to sue anyone for libel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of like that, isn't it?
I killed a man.
I killed Diana.
Peter.
Diana.
Do you want a Julian Assange update?
I remember hurtling through Paris in a taxi.
Please don't.
Are you going to continue with this?
What?
I'm just saying the taxi driver said,
Hey, lads.
Yeah, lads. Do you want to go through the tunnel? And I'm just saying the taxi driver said, Hey, lads. Hey, lads.
Do you want to go through the tunnel?
And we're like,
Oh, all right then.
And then he took us through the tunnel.
That's what taxi drivers do in Paris, it seems.
Yeah, on the way to where you were going.
Would you like to je regarde le crash site?
You've got no shame, Mr. D'Arcy.
Why have I got no shame?
Why are you...
I said, yes, please.
I would like to see that.
I'm calling this show England's Rose.
That's Danny Rose.
Hello at lucanbeatshow.com is the email address, of course,
for those of you who want to get in touch about anything at all.
We always love to hear from you.
We sometimes do.
Loads of people in the iTunes reviews say,
the best part of the show is they're reading out other people's stories.
So make of that what you will.
It's self-'s self propagating content
I would say
yeah
that's what I'd call it
yeah
Julian Assange update Pete
from Jamie
JA
hi guys
I really enjoyed the pod you make
they ensure my days at work
on my lonesome travelling
the streets of London
go that much quicker
so I'd like to say thank you
and keep doing what you're doing
he doesn't explain
what his job actually is there
but travelling the streets of London could be anything.
A couple of episodes ago, Luke stated,
there hadn't been a Julian Assange update for a while,
so I thought I'd drop in to provide what I can.
I've just moved to a new place,
and on my route into and back out of the busy streets of the capital,
I passed Her Majesty's Prison Belmarsh,
where the great man is incarcerated.
Although not really an update on the man himself,
I can confirm he has acquired a strong contingent of disciples
willing to protest for him outside the prison walls,
which seems to be growing and growing and growing.
I first passed the spot a couple of weeks ago
where a solitary supporter stood with his banner in hand.
A couple of days ago, I passed again
and noticed a 200% increase in followers.
That's right, a 200% increase.
There are now three men doing their part
to get my man Julian released.
Please find photos attached of the guys,
any attached photos.
So people now know that Her Majesty's prison, Belmarsh,
is housing Julian Assange,
and they're spending their time outside there with banners.
What do you think about that, Peter?
I think the whole situation is fascinating.
I mean, again, you start off saying,
oh my God, he's a man of, you know, people,
releasing things that we should know about.
And then, oh no, he's a puppet for the Russians.
He's a Russian asset.
He's a Russian asset.
Can I find, I mean, how many people in the world now
aren't Russian assets? Can I find, I mean, how many people in the world now aren't Russian assets?
Hardly any.
I'm not,
I'm not,
I'm not perjuring myself.
No.
I'm not perjuring myself.
I'm not getting involved,
to be honest.
Can't get involved.
Exactly.
Hear that?
Yeah.
Are you blinking
the words torture
in Morse code there
to the camera?
You know that story?
What?
About the guy
who was kidnapped,
well,
you know,
he's caught as a prisoner of war
in the Vietnam War.
Oh, right, and he blinked out the old...
He blinked out torture in Morse Code
when he was giving a statement to the government.
Torture!
Yeah.
He could have said, I love you.
Amazing presence of mind.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
Incredible, really.
Do you know what I'm blinking?
Yeah, that's...
Help!
The light's too high!
That looks like you sexually propositioning someone.
Julian Assange, I was reading that he...
Oh, I'm literally reading from the piece, I'm not going to pretend.
Julian Assange maintained an unusual amount of power
during his stay at the Ecuadorian embassy.
Apparently, he had full control over visitors.
He created a list of people who were allowed to enter the embassy
without showing identification or being searched by security.
Who does he think he is? Who do you think he is? And he met them in the women's bathroom to enter the embassy without showing identification or being searched by security. Who does he think he is?
Who do you think he is?
And he met them in the women's bathroom
to avoid the cameras.
And then he was carried out
in an undignified way
with a wispy beard.
What do you reckon they gave him?
I mean, they must have been
handing him contraband.
You reckon?
Yeah.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Would you like to be one of those policemen
that was tasked with just standing
outside the embassy for five years?
Presumably they rotate that around
because that is a waste of a career.
I mean, there are jobs like that in the police service
that I imagine people don't really relish.
But, you know, do you want to be chasing scooper gangs
or do you want to be just standing around for a bit?
Like when Lester Freeman was in The Wire,
was put on desk duty in the end of fashioning
those very beautifully made
and rendered pieces
of doll's house furniture.
He,
it wasn't Lester,
it was that guy
who goes,
sheeit.
Clay Davis.
Yeah, Clay Davis.
He was in Hackers,
the TV show,
TV show or the film?
Oh,
which is the subject
of the first episode
of Clash of the Titles, right? Correct. That's why I was watching which is the subject of the first episode of Clash of the Titles
right?
that's why I was
watching the trailer
to Alex Zane's
new Stakhanov podcast
Clash of the Titles
if you like movies
and you like Alex Zane
and to be honest
you should like
both of those things
because Alex Zane
is a lovely man
and movies are
important and good

from Will
hi chaps
in show 186
you briefly mentioned
a police chief being tasered to show they were harmless.
The man in question is former North Wales police chief Richard Brunstrom,
an eccentric chap dubbed the Mad Muller of the Speed Taliban by the tabloids
due to his stance on motoring offences.
The Mad Muller of the Speed Taliban.
It's not even catchy.
I just think that they couldn't say Nazi anymore.
Mad Muller.
20 years ago, they would have called him speed camera Nazi,
but now they have to call him Taliban.
Apparently, the video is, although very short,
is very brand Luke and Pete show,
as it shows quite a posh man in pain trying not to swear.
Bloody hell.
Do you want to hear it?
Yeah, I would, actually.
All right, okay.
So this is the chief of police at the time,
chief of North Wales Police, Richard Brunstrom,
being tasered by one of his,
by one of his,
what would you call,
one of his supplicants.
Ready?
Here we go.
Bloody hell.
Right.
That was long enough,
thanks.
Bloody hell,
right,
that's long enough,
thanks.
That's long enough,
thanks.
Excellent.
Well,
if you're the police officer
being asked to do that
imagine that in the
morning
have you got a
spare half an hour
yeah yeah sure
what do you want me
to do
do you want tasering
your boss
what good is going
to come from that
yeah you're not
going to
it doesn't matter
worst case scenario
you're going to get
a heart attack
doesn't matter how
into it you are
or how into it he is
he's not going to
look unkindly.
Because you gave him pain.
Something in his brain will go, that man gave me pain once.
Every time you cross him in the corridor,
he is going to go, there's the guy that tasered me.
And you're never going to get a promotion.
But I tell you what, what are 13 seconds, though?
What are 13 seconds?
Highlight of the career.
What a rush.
Dave says, hello, chaps.
Last year, we had to call in a little old fella
to dispose of a beehive
that had appeared in our loft.
He came into our house
in full regalia
and rummaged about upstairs
for about 15 minutes
before coming back down the ladder
with a bin bag
chock full of bees
clutched in one gauntleted fist.
A bin bag of bees?
That is incredible.
That's not a professional at work, is it?
No, it's amazing.
Lovely chap that he was.
He kept the bag in hand
all the while
as we were writing him a check.
Oddly enough,
there's something about
a man in full protective gear
holding a bag full of
angry flying insects
which encourages a person
to include a healthy tip.
I mean, yeah,
because that to me
feels like it's not
official beekeeping
like apparatus.
What do you mean?
A bin bag. Well, why would you have any other do you mean? A bin bag.
Well, why would you have any other kind of bag?
I'm confused.
Because bees can't get out, can they?
You should have a container.
You should have a big plastic container or something.
Right.
What?
How would you put a container?
What kind of container would you use?
Like a hard plastic container?
Like Tupperware or something?
But how would you get that onto...
How would you get the lid on?
What are you talking about?
You get the bees in there.
Right, say you've got a beehive, right?
Say it's roughly the size
of a gigantic pineapple.
And it's stuck to a ceiling or a wall.
And just as sweet, by the way.
And just as sweet.
Yeah.
If not more so.
And so you get the bin bag
over the top of it
and you pull it off the wall
and it's in the bin bag, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, now there's a bear's paw in it.
Trying to get some of that delicious honey. But Tupperware, you'd have to put it against the wall and it's in the bin bag, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, now there's a bear's paw in it trying to get some
of that delicious honey.
But Tupperware,
you'd have to put it
against the wall
and then you'd have to
put the lid in.
I don't know how many times
I have to tell you this,
but life isn't a cartoon, Pete.
Well,
clearly this man has chosen.
Bin bags are not
the apparatus du jour
of a beekeeper.
If there are any people
who have had any more
experiences with beekeepers,
if they've ever used Tupperware.
My father-in-law's a beekeeper.
I've never seen him
with a bin bag.
He's never had to remove...
He loves the hives.
He wants them there.
Right, I'm telling you something now.
The bin bags, he's just putting the hive in there
and all the bees will be in there with the hive.
I think I've actually got a video of him
on Facebook collecting a bee swarm from a school.
Right.
You want to see it?
Yeah, I would.
You want to see if there's a bin bag involved?
All right, yeah, I would.
Yeah, cool.
All right, we'll just feel for a sec.
I'll find it.
How to remove a bee hive. Here we go. Here we go. Yeah, come on. All right, we'll just feel for a sec. I'll find it. How to remove a beehive.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Oh, he's using the Tupperware box.
Look.
Let's have a look.
Yeah, but he's just...
There's no hive there.
It's just a load of fucking bees on a pipe.
If anything, it's harder.
On a pipe.
If anything, it's harder.
He's like grabbing them with his hands.
The deviant.
He's doing a very good job there.
He's doing a lovely job. Yeah. Bit of smoke. Get him in the Tupperware. The deviant. He's done a very good job there. He's done a lovely job.
Yeah.
Bit of smoke.
Get him in the Tupperware.
See you later.
Anyway,
I don't think if a guy
turns up to remove,
in this case,
a pest,
I know bees are very important,
but it's essentially
removing a pest
from your home.
If they've got a bin bag
in their back pocket,
I just think
they're amateurish.
Look, it's perfect.
I've seen loads of
beehive removal
sounds like a frightening
concept
there's a good band
but I
great band
it doesn't have to be
screamo band
make sure you aren't allergic
that's step one
step two
protect yourself
beekeepers veer
leather gloves
blah blah blah
step three
locate the beehive
yeah
there you go
the best time to perform
beehive removal
is early spring
good to know
yeah
what to use
chemicals
good insecticide
erm
to remove a beehive
located inside your walls
tap with a hammer
and listen for the bees
answering buzz
ooh
tap with a hammer
yeah
yeah alright
one more quick email
before we go
there we go
dispose of the removed beehive
by placing it in a plastic
garbage bag
you securely tie.
There are different
schools of thought
is all I'm saying.
Right, one more
email before we go.
Blind, are you?
This is from Jazz
and he says,
Jazz or Jase?
He spells it J-A-S
so I'm going to go
with Jazz.
Hi guys,
love the show.
What about this?
Way back when I was
in junior school,
I think I was about
nine or ten years old,
there were a group of us
who used to walk home from school together
as we all lived close to each other.
As you can imagine, we used to get up to all sorts, football, tomfoolery, etc.
Anyway, this one afternoon as we walked home,
we bumped into another group of kids that one of my friends, Craig, knew.
It was all very amiable and we sort of knew them,
but the exciting thing on this particular day was that one of the boys had a bike, a grifter.
Do you remember a grifter?
Kind of, yeah.
So a grifter was the one up from the rally chopper.
Is that the one that had a gear with a handle?
On the crossbar.
Correct, that's right, yeah.
So it had a gear stick down there, Pete,
rather than on the grip shift, yeah?
We hung around for a bit
while Craig got a croggy off his mate.
I'm not sure if you can get a croggy with a grifter
because the gear stick's in the way,
but anyway.
Croggy's in the back.
Yeah.
Oh, is it?
No, Croggy's the crossbar, isn't it?
Nah.
All right, fair enough.
That's a backie on the back.
Nah, Croggy, mate.
All right.
They cycled about a bit
while we stood around chatting
and watching them do some stunts
in inverted commas.
Now, the back reflector light
on this particular bike
was held in by a very long,
very sharp spike.
So, as this lad and Craig
went up to a curb,
the jolt of going up the curb
not only knocked the light out of the fitting onto the floor but also knocked craig off his bike
unfortunately he fell onto this long sharp spike there was a hushed moment i mean it seems
remarkable that there was a long sharp yeah in a product marketed to children um there was that's
the 80s was that on was that on the bike or was it in the street,
presumably, though?
No, it was used
to hold the reflector
onto the spokes.
Sorry.
There was a hushed moment.
Craig screamed,
looked down,
said,
oh God,
look at my underpants,
they're ripped.
No one uses the word underpants.
Underpants.
To which one of my friends
retorted,
fuck that,
look at your bollocks.
Unfortunately for Craig,
he had landed on the light
and speared his scrotum
on the spike.
In fairness, you couldn't see that much although there was a lot of blood. The next few minutes were a bit of a blur but I remember unfortunately for Craig he had landed on the light and speared his scrotum on the spike in fairness
you couldn't see that much
although there was a lot of blood
the next few minutes
were a bit of a blur
but I remember
running to Craig's house
getting his parents
and the ambulance
whisking poor Craig
to hospital
luckily I think
he made a full recovery
however he did walk
with an awkward limp
for a few months afterwards
that is the only time
I would appreciate
the Japanese
pornographic
practice of blurring out genitals.
Oh, yeah.
I don't want to see that.
That's strange, that.
It's horrible.
That is very strange.
Very strange.
That's about it.
I mean, there's only one way to end a Luke and Pete show,
and that's a child ripping their ball sack open.
So cheers for that.
If he does it again, I'll do it again.
