The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 197: 10,000 hours of solitude

Episode Date: August 26, 2019

How did it take us until episode 197 to mention that cornflakes were invented by a man on a mission to stop masturbation? Pete claims to have known about it all along, but we're pretty sure it's never been a topic of discussion on LAPS.Elsewhere, there are more UFO sightings as the phenomena reaches epidemic proportions among our listenership, despite Pete having absolutely none of it. There's also allegations of space fraud, a debunking of the 10,000 hours myth and a quest to find out for certain how many Euans are listening.To get in touch: [e-mail]***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Bank Holiday Vibes! Bank Holiday Vibes! Nobody's around, it's really hard to get a cup of coffee in this place. No one's going to listen because they ain't going to work. I'm drinking what could only be described as a Coca-Cola energy cola, which has no taurine. Is taurine the enemy now? Is taurine the enemy within?

You can only have caffeine from natural sources. It says no taurine, so maybe taurine's bad, according to the Coca-Cola Corporation. Annoyingly, I went into the Sainsbury's to get myself a little cup of coffee from the little machine. No reusable cups available. Nooyingly, I went into the Sainsbury's to get myself a little cup of coffee from the little machine. No reusable cups available. No cardboard cups, no nothing. It annoys me, Luke,

because all of this one-use plastic you shouldn't be having and all this stuff, it's very wasteful, which I agree with. I didn't start drinking bottles of water until about three years ago. So why should I have to curb my use? Curb my enthusiasm. Curb my enthusiasm for the single-use plastic

when everybody else has been running roughshod over the planet for all of this time. And we are, I should say before we move on from this, we are touring in our guise as the Football Ramble. Go to ramblerlive.com to get your tickets. If you're a fan of Luke and Pete, you should get your tickets at ramblerlive.com to get your tickets if you're a fan of Luke and Peach you should get your tickets at ramblerlive.com because

it's basically the Luke and Peach show about football frequently not about football with two other guys all down yourself

all on your little shorty shots I'm already hot they look a bit boxer shortsy I didn't don't

roll them right up mate I didn't expect that. Roll them right up, mate. I didn't expect that. I deserve that. Apologies to anyone that had problems downloading us last week. Peter. What was that all about? Peter. I missed that, Al.

What? You going to front up? What? I didn't do anything. Doesn't matter. Take responsibility. Okay. I got the ducts of the computers that serve you the audio gummed up with shit that I put in the back.

We fixed it with thermal paste. I was posting cockroaches into it because they like it. It's warm. A little bit dry. Posting them in there. Yeah, post them in there. I told you I sent my mate

a whole box of crickets, didn't I? Why was the Lincoln Picture all askew last week? I don't know. Did we get an answer? There was some sort of problem with Acast apparently.

That's the thing with podcasts it's so obscure obtuse it's you just don't it's so opaque I'd say you just wait around

and it fixes itself after a while doesn't it I don't think anyone knows what's happening no everyone's just praying that it gets fixed

yeah when we do live shows Pete under our Football Ramble guys it has got a bit more of a Luke and Pete show sort of feel to it

last day of school innit yeah last day of school we're just chasing laughs we're doing like how many shows are we doing

14 in the UK 17 quite a lot quite a few I'll probably be pissed off at you by the end I'll be pissed off at you at the start

so we'll meet in the middle and we'll probably have some good shows a round about Wickham nice looking forward to that what have you been up to this bank holiday weekend I went so we'll meet in the middle and we'll probably have some good shows or round about Wickham nice looking forward to that what have you been up to this bank holiday weekend

I went I had a nice weekend it was fun it was very relaxing didn't do anything strenuous didn't over drink didn't over correct myself had a steak

alright got one of those gaucho delivery gaucho doing deliveries so I bought a rather expensive steak

which you know it's takeaway steak it's never going to be as good as the actual restaurant is it I would say that if it were down

to me for that I would rather them deliver me a raw steak and I'll just cook it myself well how is that delivering food then is it no but I think

you can cook a better steak at home if you introduce a delivery kind of thing. Because it needs to... I mean, I suppose what they could do is take it straight off the grill, put it on the delivery thing and use that as the resting time. Because you've got to let a steak rest. Exactly. So it's not too shoddy.

I can't do Deliveroo or Uber or anything where I live because it just takes too long and the food is just a load of old shit by the time it gets here. Right. Okay. I live because it just takes too long and the food is a load of old shit by the time it gets here. Right, okay. If I deliver, say, anything really, Nando's, although Nando's did their own delivery, but it's the same principle. Nando's, McDonald's, maybe one or two others, by the time it gets to our house, it's just not fit for purpose. Anything with fries in, I mean, KFC made a big point of not offering fries front and centre because they thought that the fries wouldn't be very good by the time they got to the people. Well, KFC fries aren't that good anyway. You say that, but they're alright.

They're a bit too, they're not crispy enough for me. They're not crispy enough for me. How was your weekend, Luke Mill? Where have you been? It was pretty good. You always chip off somewhere? No, I was watching the cricket. Oh, right, okay. And I also, we also have friends visiting from the US, so we were doing the touristy thing with them.

Of course, I worked Friday night, but then Saturday and Sunday we were just... Saturday we did touristy things, and then Sunday I watched the cricket. The cricket was unbelievable, again, twice in the same summer, with the same player. What's going on with our cricket? We seem to be not having the best start to things,

and then pulling it out, pulling it out of the fire. England were all out for 67 in the first innings, and a crucial ashes test against Australia yet still won the game it's crazy I liked it

when is it Brodie Brodie Brodie Brodie hit the ball and he knew it stayed hit

so he was like yes that was Ben Stokes Ben Stokes Brodie Chris Broad Broad Japan I'll tell you what's

really funny is that so Pete for those who aren't cricket fans this will give you a bit of extra context which hopefully you'll find amusing so Ben Stokes did something I'll tell you what's really funny is that, so Pete, for those who aren't cricket fans, this will give you a bit of extra context, which hopefully you'll find amusing.

So Ben Stokes did something at the same ground against the same opposition that Ian Botham, you all know about beefy problematic issues, that he had burnished his reputation at in 1981. Now, the delicious irony being that he's also now part of the TV coverage team for this test match. Right. Yet Ben Stokes does it as well.

Yeah. Arguably in a better situation and performs better. And so, when it pans to all the people doing the punditry, both of them just like, deliberately avoiding questions about whether it's better than his,

like, or there's other stuff. Right, okay. Because you know, his heart, Beefy is quite a petty man. Yeah. And so,

it was just quite funny to have him in the studio while it happened. Did they ask the immortal words, what are you thinking? Beefy, what are you thinking? Because both of them

posted a picture of his knob on Twitter, thinking it was a DM, saying, what are you thinking? From the worst angle as well. From the worst angle. So. From the worst angle. So you've got the actual shriveled nutsack front and centre.

Shriveled nutsack, not great. I mean, the penis isn't even up and kind of, you know, giving you a show of attention. He's a tall man. He's a big man. He's beefy. He's beefy. Got his own emoji.

A little disappointing. A little disappointing from beefy there. We talk about his penis quite a lot, don't we? What are you thinking? What are you thinking? What are you thinking? What are you thinking? Peter, have you seen the new Breaking Bad trailer? Yes.

I think this might be a pile of shit and everyone's going to be very disappointed, Luke. I think you will think that. Because it's all about Jesse, isn't it? It's all about Jesse. How's Walt going to be in it? What? Flashbacks, I guess.

Well, yeah, I guess so. But I'm sort of also thinking because it's Jesse focused I don't think Jesse is as good an actor as we sort of realise. I think he's

he was excellent in Breaking Bad and he's obviously had a few missteps since then. The guy Brian Cranston is a brilliant actor

by the way. Yeah but like he's not he won't be in this as much really this is very Jesse focused. Yeah but like he's not in he won't be in this as much really this is very Jesse focused. Yeah.

So I think it might be. Aaron Paul Aaron Paul's been kind of like addicted and impassioned in his in his sort of praise for for Breaking

Bad. He loves it doesn't he. I mean if you follow him on Twitter he he's doing like Breaking Bad like studio tours and stuff. Even though he's in it. He loves it doesn't he if you follow him on twitter he's doing Breaking Bad studio tours and stuff

even though he's in it he loves it so much he's always talking about it and then there was a bit of disappointment recently because him and Bryan Cranston

announced they were doing this project together which turned out to be sort of artisan liquor didn't it oh right so basically

people thought I think people thought they were working on some kind of TV show together. It turned out to be they released their own brand of mezcal,

which I think is a Mexican spirit. Right. So people were disappointed in that. But Jesse Pinkman's not in the trailer. It's just Skinny Pete,

isn't it? So, I don't know. You've got to approach it with an open mind. It might be alright. I'm just worried for men of a certain age who live there

and you. Yeah. You're definitely on the younger end of the scale, but like people my dad's age who are, you know, they walk past a Breaking Bad t-shirt, I'm the one who cooks. Yeah.

I'm the one who knocks. I can't remember what the fucking phrases are. Los Polos chicken. Los Polos and manholes, yeah. When they walk past those t-shirts in Cameron Market, they go, oh.

But that's why, that's why Walter White is so popular among people of that age because they think, oh yeah, that's a bit of me, that.

I could do that. Yeah, my wife thinks I'm an accountant, but really, I am. I am. A tax advisor?

I don't know. Something, just to change trains very quickly, something that caught my attention this week did you see this

story about why cornflakes were originally invented yeah it's old school isn't it oh is it

do people know this yeah it's wanking we haven't talked about this on the show before have we no how have we

got to episode 197 and not talked about the guy Mr. Kellogg who invented cornflakes

invented and marketed it as a healthy ready to-to-eat, anti-masturbatory morning meal. Is it just kind of keeping you busy, or does it have any sugars in it? I'm not really sure how it all kind of comes together. Well, I think he thought it was almost like the food equivalent of a cold shower. It was so plain that he would just bring you back down to earth with a bump. Apparently, he was a Seventh Day Adventist, and staunchly believed in celibacy and that sex was unhealthy plain that he would just bring you back down to earth with a bump. Apparently he was a Seventh-day Adventist and staunchly believed in celibacy and that sex was unhealthy and immoral.

And he was such a firm believer that sex was damaging to the mind and body that he slept in a separate room from his wife and never consummated the marriage, choosing instead to adopt all their children. So he said, if having sex with your wife was bad, then masturbation was just about as sinful as you could get.

He called it a heinous sin, self-pollution. Some dads are weird, some dads are weird, some dads are weird, but they make a lot of money with Kellogg's Coughlex. Yeah, I mean, would you prefer your dad to be a multi-multi-millionaire? Why would you have the figurehead a big cock? The figurehead of Kellogg's is a big cock. What's that about then? Subliminal message. Yeah.

Subliminal messaging. Terrible, isn't it? Subliminal message. Yeah. Subliminal messaging. Terrible, isn't it? Very, very strange. Unreal. I didn't know that you already knew that. I thought this was kind of a bit of a revelation. It's a bit of a... Yeah.

Did you see that story? I love that story of the space fraud. Oh, no. Yeah. So you linked me to this, but I haven't actually read it yet. So tell people what it's all about. I'm paraphrasing because, to be quite frank, I haven't got a clue what's going on, but a space woman, an astronaut, was in space,

and she apparently accessed a shared bank account while she was away. I think she was going through some troubles with her wife, and she accessed the shared bank account completely against the woman on Earth's, her wife on Earth's opinions. Amazing to say that. Her wife is still on Earth.

Amazing you can say that contextually. Exactly. And so, yeah, apparently there's a court case about some kind of separation, I think. But I think it's the first case of space fraud or space crime, which is amazing. It's not really space crime, though, is it? It's just a great headline, isn't it? She committed the crime while of space fraud or space crime, which is amazing. It's not really space crime, though, is it? It's just a great headline, isn't it? She committed the crime while in space.

Yeah, but if you and I are married and we share a bank account, and I'm in Indonesia, and I access our shared bank account, it's not an Indonesian fraud, is it? I think definitely it would be, wouldn't it? The location isn't relevant. Because you access the bank account online, aren't it the location isn't relevant erm because you're accessing you're accessing the bank account

online aren't you I don't know what the laws are but yeah I imagine I think it's focused in but the actual act was perpetrated in space

sure but I think a lot of sub editors who got the opportunity to write a headline have thought to themselves do you know what it'd be bloody lovely

to be able to write space fraud in a headline and that's what they've done. Because that's exactly what happened. She committed the fraud, the estranged spouse's

bank account, she accessed it while in space. The first criminal allegation in space, which is amazing. She's going to have to serve her sentence

on that prison planet in Alien 3. Exactly! It's exactly what she should be doing. With all those blokes with the shaved heads. She strenuously denies that she did anything improper

and she is totally cooperating. So there we go. And I don't know about you, but I don't think that the next Alien movie sounds that good. So what's it about? In space, no one can hear you access a bank account fraudulently.

Exactly. God, the amount of three, four, five factor authentication I've got to go through to access my own bank account usually. I might get a text in space, going, your security number is 43 whatever. I bet they've got a better broadband up there than you have in your house. I bet they have as well.

I wonder what the jurisdiction is then. Because I would have thought because it's accessing a bank account set in a certain territory online, it would be just an open and shut kind of thing. I'm not saying that there's different rules for space people, which are called astronauts. I'm just saying that it's interesting that the crime was committed in space.

First bit of space crime, or alleged space crime. And what are the flat earthers saying about it? I don't know. Do they believe in astronauts? No. No, they don't. Well, how would they? You're just a float away from the flat Earth, can't you?

I don't know. I'll have to check. How do they stay there in the flat Earth's minds then? What do you mean? Because if they fly off from the Earth, obviously they're in orbit in real life, but in their world, how are they staying there? Well, you can fly away from orbit, can't you?

No, but what I'm saying is, Pete, what I'm saying is, so a flat earther could see an astronaut or a space rocket flying away from Earth, but as you and I know, it gets into orbit and it starts orbiting the Earth and that's how it stays there. How do they think it stays there?

Oh, probably just rockets, I reckon. Yeah. Hydrogen's apparently going to power our radiators in the future. Where's that come from? That's going to be dangerous. What, no more gas? That's going to power our radiators in the future. Where's that come from? That's going to be dangerous. What, no more gas? That's going to be dangerous.

Something will go wrong. A hydrogen bomb and everyone's home. Pete, let's take a little break. When we come back, I think we're either going to talk a bit about more UFO sightings or we might talk about people with interesting names again. All right.

Let's wait and see. talk about people with interesting names again. Let's wait and see. Oh, got a bit of a cough and that was a bit of O-Town. Yep. Get it blasted out. Bit of blasted out. Emails, Luke Mill. Hello at

lukeandpeatshow.com We're on a bit of a paranormal trip at the moment. Anyone who wants to email in about something they can't explain. I see. A huge amount of these are people walking home from the pub, as you can probably imagine. But someone sent in a really cool database

that I haven't had a chance to look at yet. They were asked to put it together for a job interview to show that they could collect and collate data. Oh, yes. I haven't actually had a chance to read it yet, so we'll do that in future episodes. That sounds quite interesting. But, yeah, do get in touch on hello at Luke and Pete show.

We'd love to hear from you. If you think you've got something to email in, but you're not sure about whether to or not, definitely do it because it's always fun to read them. This is from Lee Young, who helpfully says, I'm not Chinese. Okay, good. Even though he's called Lee Young.

He says, hi guys, love the show. I just thought I'd share my UFO encounter with you. After spending an evening with some friends in Rabness, a small village near Harwich. Is it Harwich or Harwich? In Essex. Okay. I was driving through the empty country roads

into the next town. I don't remember the clarity of the night sky, but I remember seeing two downward facing circular lights very close to each other moving across the sky. This grabbed my attention as the lights seemed bigger than that of an airplane and were not flashing. I pulled into a lay-by, got out to get a better look. The two lights flew directly over me. The craft was darker than the night sky, so you could make out its triangular shape. These two big bright lights on the underside

of it. It was almost silent, just a dull hum could be heard as it crossed beneath the clouds. To me, it seemed so big and flying very low, I honestly thought i could reach up and touch it which i didn't attempt i managed to take a picture on my phone and after messing around with the filters you can make out this triangle craft i was convinced of some intergalactic visits and when i got home i searched the internet for anyone who might have witnessed this as well but nothing local or recent was there what i did find though was sightings from all over the world of triangle crafts, often thought to be the TR-3B Astra, which I think is a spy plane.

But some theories claim it to be a reverse engineered alien craft. Keep up the doodling. Lee Young. What do you think about that? It's probably the best bit. There's the photo. I mean, that could be anything, couldn't it?

Yeah. Why are they always so badly photographed? Yeah, that's the problem. So the photo, for those listening, is just like two white kind of circles. Space testicles. Yeah, space balls. The thing with this is interesting. Harwich, I mean, I admitted that I don't have to pronounce it.

I think it's Harwich. But I looked up where it is, obviously in Essex. Essex is near Suffolk, of course. And there's American air bases quite a lot. There's one really big one. There's a few different ones in Suffolk. And all these things seem to be happening around air bases, military bases, that kind of stuff.

So you wonder if it's just an undeclared military craft. Or just declared and people just don't have access to that data. I'm struggling. I just, I find UFO hunting so very tedious. There's just no need for it. Don't worry about it. It's fine. If it's not an airplane, it's your mind.

So don't worry about it. There you go. I'm very much a poo-pooer. Problem solved. I'm like, who's in the fly? Ted Dans worry about it. There you go. I'm very much a poo-pooer. Problem solved. I'm like, who's in the fly? Ted Danson. No. Who's in the fly?

Jeff Goldblum. Jeff Goldblum. Yeah. In Independence Day. I basically decided to run to him and go, everything's fine. But it's not though, is it? What? He turns into a massive human fly.

That's in the fly. But Independence Day, he's the bloke who says we're all fucked. But in Independence Day I'd be the one going everything's fine don't look up there you're doing the opposite to that don't look up there

but there were aliens in that film yeah I know but I'd be like don't look up there then white house gone I love the idea of like 70 years

70 years of like repeated sightings and like rumours and you're just coming in saying if it's not an airplane it's your mind don't worry about it.

Unless they have the good grace to plop themselves down on terraformer I ain't fucking interested. Yeah. Bit rude isn't it?

Well it's like It's a bit rude just to be snooping about. When we were in Johannesburg and just had those lads in the

trucks and they were just doing their rounds just having a peek at people's houses and stuff. It's like that. Rude.

But intergalactically. If they spotted a gate open they'd be right in there but you must surely admit pete donaldson that you know there's gonna be technology that we don't know about yet because they're not gonna have they're not gonna have released it i mean like the stealth bomber for example that was developed in the 80s wasn't it it was 30 years ago now so there's gonna be much better technology than that now and they're probably just testing it out, aren't they? Oh, no. It's just normal planes that we just don't have. The army presumably don't put their planes on flight radar 24, do they?

They say this is an army plane floating around or a naval vessel. Wouldn't you quite like us to know what it is? What? Wouldn't you quite like us to know what it is? What do you mean? It'll just be a normal army plane. Surely. This was triangle shape. Or a chinook.

It's a triangle shape. And he was driving, so he definitely wasn't drinking. Yeah, yeah. Right. Email in hello at lukeandpetecher.com to convince this naysayer over here that this thing is real,

because Pete, despite what he says, he wants to believe. It's bollocks. It's bollocks. Find out what cuckoo spit is, and then get back to him, right? Once you've what cuckoo spit is and then get back to me alright once you've solved

cuckoo spit I think the clue might be in the name there yeah excuse me excuse me Ian Kennedy hello Ian Kennedy

hi guys recently on the ramble Pete brought up the 10,000 hours rule we're talking about referees getting used to VAR my teacher at school

would constantly reference the 10,000 hours rule and I'm sure many of your listeners are very familiar with it. However, last year when reading David Epstein's The Sports Gene,

I discovered it's actually an urban myth. I like how he says it's I discovered. It's an urban myth. Like, I didn't just read. It's an urban myth. I've discovered this.

I've discovered this. I've discovered Australia. I went there. It's based on a study conducted at the Music Academy of West Berlin in 1993. The school was known for producing world-class violinists and the instructors were asked to split the students into three groups.

Future soloists, those who would make a living playing professionally in an orchestra, and finally, a third group who would likely go on to be music teachers. The researchers then interviewed the students about their schedules, practice-wise, and estimated that those in the top group who would likely go on to be soloists had practiced somewhere in the region of 10,000 hours before they turned 20. And so the correlation that researchers had found had been reversed in the future, saying basically experts have practiced their skill for 10,000 hours, which is a real phenomenon observable across many different fields. It has become 10,000 hours are required to become an expert.

So it's cause versus symptom. Yeah, I would agree with that because I remember a lot of this came about when Matthew Syed, sports writer, wrote Bounce, didn't he? That 10,000 hours theory. I completely agree with that last thing you said there. That probably gives you the environment. I completely agree with that last thing you said there. That gives you the environment, probably gives you the environment.

It has to happen. But look, I can't get away from the idea whenever someone talks about 10,000 hours about George Best, who's just,

you know, who's just amazing. And he's spent all his time getting pissed. So I mean, clearly George Best probably didn't practice 10,000 hours

unless he did it as a very, very young kid, which I suppose is possible. Well, it's like, I think they sort of said, well practice 10,000 hours unless he did it as a very, very young kid, which I suppose is possible. Well, it's like, I think they sort of said, well, 10,000 hours is the bare minimum. With practice, you need that natural ability and inclination to play the violin in the first place, according to Ian, a Scot in Toronto. A 30-year-old man from Portland, Oregon, called Dan McLaughlin, tested the 10,000 hours theory.

He quit his job and tried to become a professional golfer, despite never having played a full round of golf by practicing every day until he had clocked 10,000 hours. How old was he? His efforts, 30.

His efforts picked up notoriety and he got free coaching, equipment from Nike and membership at fancy golf clubs so he could play with the pros. To cut a long story short, he now owns

a soft drinks company. Right. Although he does have a golf handicap than 90 percent of people who play golf he fell well short of the required level to pay to play a pga2 event which was his goal um yeah it just sounds like uh there's a lot of variables also when you're starting at 30 i mean that's way too late right is it surely it must be it must be when you must do it in your formative years you're mean, I was, well, I still am,

learning to play the piano. And it's hard. And I learned musical instruments when I was a kid. And when I was a kid, I was relatively decent at them because your brain's like a sponge. Now it's much harder. It's much harder. Do you not think that because you are quite musical

and you do have some natural ability, you find it even easier than people who just have no ear? Oh, yeah, for sure. Absolutely. And my piano teacher's even said that. but i think when you're when you're a kid it's much easier because your brain like i say your brain is like a sponge and you remember everything and you can soak it all up i think if you if you gave i mean because the tiger woods thing would be the um would be an example i suppose based on what you said there obviously he has a huge amount of natural ability but he was famously um you know he. Obviously, he has a huge amount of natural ability, but he was famously,

he drove himself very hard from a very, very young age. There's talk of him hitting golf balls when he was like two and stuff. Serena and Venus Williams were enrolled in tennis coaching courses before they were even born by their father. So he obviously had a plan for them. And there's a lot of controversy around that as well, of course, because they're children.

So I think you're right. I think there has to be an innate amount of natural ability. But I think if you are going to go down that 10,000-hour rule, it has to be at a formative age. I don't think you and I now... I mean, there would be athletic restrictions to it anyway. I mean, we couldn't say at the age of 38, oh, by the way, we want to become Olympic sprinters.

I mean, it's just not going to happen. But that wouldn't happen anyway, because it's clearly certain people are predisposed to certain types of sport, aren't they? I watch a lot of graphics card YouTube videos, so I've probably clocked up a few hours this past few years. Are you the first human genius graphics card? So I reckon I could probably fit a few graphics cards in the future. I could be the graphics card guy, the GPU man.

But that only works if you could yourself become a human graphics card. I'm not sure that's how it works. By the way, on that, because you just reminded me to ask you something. Could you, in theory, right, this is a bit of a bizarre question, but in theory, could you put a USB port, install it into your body, wire it with the right technology into your brain, and have your brain download stuff from USB? What do you mean?

As in download? It's like information held on a device, plug it into the USB into the skin, and download it to your brain. How would that... Well, I'm asking you. Well, I think that... Didn't somebody manage to do a

brain scan and interpret the brain scan and they could if you thought of an animal uh they could sort of get a really really really fuzzy picture of what you were thinking about i think that's the case but um no well people um really um heavily severely disabled people are able to move cursors on screens with their minds now, aren't they? Yeah. So it's not the only realms of possibility, right? But aren't they sort of tied to muscular receptors? No, I think it's the brain, sensors in the brain. Yeah, but which move the muscles.

So you're kind of thinking about moving, I don't know, your arm in a certain way or your eyelid or something you're thinking about how to move that cursor and that's what that that part of your brain sort of stimulates the senses

because I don't think I'll be able to do it because I think I'll just spend all my time thinking about dinner Pornhub it'd be really really hard to close

that window down if you've got control of it right with your mind but the reason I it'd be like in that scene in the Inbetweeners movie where he's got a dead hand. Right. And he's trying to shut down the pool when his mum walks in, but he's numbed his hands.

But the reason I ask that is because it sounds like a bit of a basic question, I suppose. But when you look at a hard drive, it's just information, right? And your brain really is just information too. So you wonder whether they would be compatible in any way. Well, no. There would need to be some conversion, wouldn way well no there would need to be some conversion wouldn't there there'd need to be some conversion into how that information will get into your brain I just like the idea of seeing someone with one of those on them

we could do that bit we could do that bit today get the IOD next week, looks infected Pete it'll be alright let's squeeze one more email in before we go. This is from Ewan Burns. He says, how many Ewan's are listening?

Hello. I probably missed the chance here because I saved lots of episodes for my summer job barcoding school uniforms. Wow. That means. But hearing there are multiple, i.e. three young Ewan's listening to the pod. I want to know how many Ewan's are listening in total. I find we are like buses. I never meet another one,

and then I'm sat next to two others in an A-level class. There's also a bizarre amount of spellings, so this should be read out. Let's see how many different spellings there are of Ewan as well. I'm 19 years old, and I'm called Ewan. Keep up the good work, Ewan Burns. Ewan Burns. I'd like to know how many Lukes and Peaks there are.

If you're a Luke or a Pete, email in, and we'll count them up. I mean, give us something other than that to be honest I mean like we'd love some information as well yeah so I can download to my brain from my USB port

exactly that would be good it's always nice to know one of my best friends at school was called Ewan that might be the dullest fact you have ever given the people
