The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 199: Trapped on an island

Episode Date: September 2, 2019

Luke's spent the weekend in a field with some pals, drinking cider. It's like being 15 all over again. Meanwhile Pete has got a huge issue with educational programming, particularly that one where they all get naked.Pilot Gav has also been in touch and weighed in on the UFO debate- giving more power to Pete's elbow- and we hear of a group of people stranded on the Isles of Scilly after a ferry broke down. To send us an email, hit us up here: [e-mail]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Ah, shut your noise. How you doing? It's Luke Peatshaw. Alright. Episode 199, baby. We are hurtling towards 200, 200,000. 200. You okay? It's my new word, 200. 200. It's in between 100 and 1,000. It's very interesting.. It's my new word, 200. 200. It's in between 100 and 1,000.

It's very interesting. How are you, Luke Moore? Pretty good. Yeah, went to a festival all weekend here? I did. Shall we get straight into it? Let's go straight into it.

All right, I went to a festival the weekend which was called the Million Dollar Bash. It was called Million Dollar Bash and it was also called All White Now.

Steady. Not on the Isle of Wight. No, it's spelled differently. It was called Million Dollar Bash, and it was also called All White Now. Steady. It was the fifth. Not on the Isle of Wight. No, it's spelled differently. Yeah. It's not a dog whistle. It is a bit Dillymale Island over there, though. Well, that is absolutely true,

but this particular part was like an enclave against that, I would suggest. It was essentially the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan appearing at the Isle of Wight in 1969, of course. And my friend Blair, who is a singer-songwriter, is a son of someone in Fairport Convention, obviously a seminal folk act.

And his dad organised it as a tribute to Dylan on the 50th anniversary. And Richard Thompson played, which was amazing. And Roger McGough was there. There was a band called Dylan Centric who were this kind of folk super group

who did a load of Dylan songs to round off the evening. And it was amazing because clearly it was run by a lot of folk heads who love music, but don't really have any real history in organising the festival. So hardly anyone knew about it.

There must have been about 300 people there. Yeah. Which is amazing. Can we talk about Real Ale? Sounds like a Real Ale festival to me. Yeah, they had, but they only had one beer there. Yeah. Which is amazing. Can we talk about Real Ale? Sounds like a Real Ale festival to me. Yeah, they had, but they only had one beer tent.

Right. So they only had, the Real Ale on offer was Fuddle DD. Doombar? No, not Doombar. What? No, not that big.

No, not that big. And there was a lot of ciders. Right. So we were drinking ciders. I'm fairly certain, although my memory for obvious reasons is somewhat hazy around this kind of time, but I'm fairly certain though my memory for obvious reasons is somewhat hazy

around this kind of time but I'm pretty sure the people in the beer tent one of them drove to the Aldi down the road and bought a load of cans and brought them back and started selling them

as well because they run out so I think it's really cool because I think next year they're probably going to do the 1970 anniversary

where obviously Hendrix played and it's going to be a far more well organised affair because they'll have a bit of a longer run up at it so I'm really pleased I was there for the three to four hundred people one

which was not commercial at all I really chilled out and you could essentially do whatever you wanted So what was the it was the anniversary of Isle of Wight Festival Of Dylan playing in 1969

Yeah the Isle of Wight Festival Because I mean I do tend to get a bit boring about these kind of things but so forgive me very very quickly but the interesting thing about Bob Dylan playing at the Isle of Wight Festival I do tend to get a bit boring about these kind of things, so forgive me very, very quickly,

but the interesting thing about Bob Dylan playing at the Isle of Wight Festival, 1969, is quite interesting, because of course, three years before that, he almost died in a motorcycle crash. It sounds like a motorcycle. It does these days. That could have been an impression of Bob Dylan, or a motorcycle.

So he hadn't been seen in public for three years, and he didn't play at Woodstock, even though it was right next to where he lives. And these two brothers, called the Folk Brothers, weirdly enough, they kind of persuaded him to come to the Isle of Wight, which, when you think about it, is a bit weird, given he lives in the US, and it's like a little island on the south coast of England.

And they sent him all these different um like books and tapes and all this stuff to try and get him to come right talking about the cultural heritage of the island and all the rest of it i think it kind of appealed to his kind of good nature iconoclastic sensibility shall we say and then his son got um injured on i think on the boat over and so he had And then his son got injured on, I think, on the boat over. What? And so he had to then, that all got changed. He had to fly over at the last minute

and he eventually played. But anyway. How crazy was the boat over? It's not usually that choppy, is it? Very busy water still. I don't know. Yeah, I'm not really sure

how it happened. And then, of course, he appeared. There were no screens or anything, so people were watching from like miles back. That was a far bigger affair

than this one was at the weekend anyway. But it was celebrating that and it was very good. It was cool far bigger affair than this one was at the weekend. Anyway, but it was celebrating that and it was very good. It was cool to be sort of out in the middle of nowhere watching some nice live music. Richard Thompson played,

who is one of my favourites. He's an absolute legend in the game. Just amazing. It was really good. And then because it was so, shall we say, loosely organised, there were no taxis. So I had to walk an hour back to the hotel.

There was no taxis? What do you mean an hour back to the hotel there was no taxis what do you mean no they just didn't have enough taxis come on where was it Ride

it was in Cowes Ventnor or Cowes right okay Cowes is a pretty major I'm surprised it was not but it was outside it was like Newport

County showgrounds outside of Cowes yeah anyway so we had to do a big old walk back it's alright though it was fun sobered up

yeah exactly the day after you didn't go for one of your bracing walks that's alright though it was fun sobered up yeah exactly the day after you didn't go for one of your bracing walks or maybe a jog the next day

the next day a walk was not on the agenda the next day but Dylan I think was backed by the band obviously legendary band as well

so it was an amazing thing that he did in 1969 if you don't know much about it check it out I certainly didn't know a huge amount

about it but it's very interesting to me my dad used to have a couple of tears with the band on and I used to think that it was like his favourite band, but he just couldn't be arsed to write who it was. Oh, that's what you mean. Oh, it's the boys. It's the band.

The boys, yeah? The boys. I think that's reasonable, isn't it? It's reasonable. How old were you at the time? I was very young. I was very young. When I was 17, I drank some very good beer. I didn't see any t-shirts with young. When I was 17, I drank some very good beer. There was no, I didn't see any

t-shirts with what's the matter lager boy afraid you might taste something. Really? It's a shame. It's a real shame.

Did anyone drop a glass and everyone cheered? I guess it'll all be plastic glasses. Plastic glasses on grass. That ain't smashing.

That ain't smashing for nobody's business. What did you get after the weekend anyway? Not a lot really. Played a bit of football.

Enjoyed my, I really enjoyed myself playing football 11th side haven't done it in a little while and it was fun fun fun I don't think anyone under the age of 50

was at that festival apart from us so I don't think anyone listening to this would have been at the festival were you the young whippersnappers at the festival my friend Blair was

he played and he's only about 27 so he was definitely the youngest there fantastic but they also willed out I say willed out

that was really rude I didn't mean it like that. Julie Felix also performed. And she did Blowing in the Wind as a tribute to Dylan. She's 81. Right. She still looks great.

She played at the original one. She looks great. Fantastic. Yes, fantastic. It really was good. Robin Hitchcock played as well. I think he was at the original one, but he didn't perform

because he was too young. So he played. It was a really good affair. I think it's one of those things that next year is probably going to be a lot bigger a lot more exciting so keep an eye out

for that if you fancy tripping down to the Isle of Wight I know you do Pete you've been down there on the ferry 10 times nice little spot

10 times next year I think it's my 10th Isle of Wight festival really get a little plaque for that probably probably put a little

blue plaque around saying Peter has visited here a golden mic they'd give you a golden mic would they anyone that would work. I'd take, to be honest.

Battery's always gone out of kilter. Yeah, so, Isle of Wight Festival. A lot of festivals on. I mean, Isle of Wight is an island. Just a lot of festivals going on all of the time. Lovebox is over there, wasn't it? Isle of Wight Festival. You've got a few others. Can I say Best of All? Or has that changed now? I can't remember.

Speaking of islands, there's a story that broke yesterday. I think it was yesterday. That hundreds of people were stranded on the Isles of Scilly because the only ferry had broken down. Nice. So they were there for, apparently they were there for,

I think it's days, not hours, days, on the Isles of Scilly. I don't think there's any reason to live on the Isles of Scilly. And anyone listening on the Isles of Scilly, you know what you've done. Disrespectful, I think.

You know what you've done. I wonder if there is anyone listening on there. Orkney? Anyone listening on Orkney? If you are an island dweller, you know what the largest populated island in the UK is? Have a guess. You'll never get it.

Ooh. Populated island. Is it the Isle of Dogs? No, it's not. Not even an island. Is it not? I don't know. What is it then? Portsea Island? No, it's not. I'm not even an island. Is it not? I don't know. What is it then?

Portsea Island, aka Portsmouth. Oh, fuck off. That's not an island. How do they count that as an island? It's officially an island. It's connected. By roads?

Right. It's only connected by roads, mate. What? Bridge road. Bridge road. I can't believe you've known me for this long and you didn't know that. We are an island race

exactly that's why that's so funny I thought we'd just been idiots Portsea Portsea look here you go Portsea Island is a flat low lying island measuring 24,542 square kilometres

oh yes there is a slight there's a roundabout that goes over it put a roundabout over it it's linked by roads yeah but yeah it's got oh yeah it's got like 200 or 1000 people on it so it's linked by roads yeah but yeah it's got oh yeah

it's got like 200 or 1000 people on it so it's technically the most populated island in the UK that's fascinating I mean they've taken the look

they've covered that they've covered that little bit of filled it in mate filled it in mate yeah so it was that was a man

it's a man-made island I reckon reclaimed it anyway if you got stranded on that you'd be fine because the transport links are very good

and you get to swim it in comparison to the Isles of Scilly 800 extra people were stuck on it for a few days on Wednesday the ferry broke down

and they couldn't fix it until I think maybe last night or something what would you do what would you do there I'd do exactly what everybody else did

just hang out there eat drink and be merry I guess sorry Luke I can't go and do the Luke and Pete show episode 200 because I'm stuck on an island. Oh, silly, having a lovely old time. Getting drunk on some of the local scrumpy.

I presume that's what they drink down there. Anywhere out on the sticks, it's like, oh, we've got a lot of rotting apple. What shall we get? How shall we get rid of them? That lass, has she managed to get to Greta? She's managed to get to where she needed to be. Should you be calling her that little lass? Little lass.

The environmental activist. She arrived in New York City after spending 15 days at sea. I'm enjoying how much she's upsetting a lot of people. That was going to be my point. Is it possible for any of these people in the commentary to just say, quietly,

I just don't, I'm not into this. Impossible, isn't it it's impossible grown men and women are losing their shit over a 15 year old a 15 year old girl

with I think she's got autism as well Asperger's yeah oh a strange I would say a strange target but 2019 seems like all bets are off anything's a target

anything's a target yeah incredible scenes wow so yeah do you get the feeling that like the world do you get the feeling that Luke and Peach could at some point become Anything's a target. Anything's a target. Yeah, incredible scenes. Wow. So, yeah. Do you get the feeling that Luke and Pete show could at some point become one of those sort of beacon shows that people would check radio frequencies for when the world goes to absolute shit?

I mean, if they do, the world will be fucked, won't it? Yeah. It'll be us and Joe Rogan. We're the only shows that are broadcasting. Let's listen to Luke and Pete. Why? Because they know where the food sources are? Nah.

But they can do a bit on Isles of Silly. There was a guy who used to be... Or how many people called Ewan there are listening to their show? It's all useful stuff. Got a lot of emails about Ewan. Yeah, we did.

Thanks to Ewan. Yeah, there was a... Is it Two Dog or Tim Dog? I can't remember. There was a character in Fallout 4 after the apocalypse. Yeah. In Fallout 3, rather, where there was a, is it Two Dog or Tim Dog? I can't remember if there was a character in Fallout 4 after the apocalypse. Yeah. In Fallout 3, rather, where there's a kind of like a radio DJ

that's broadcast to the wilds of America after a massive nuclear event. I see myself very much as being that kind of character, I guess, playing the killers, playing a bit of Bob Dylan, maybe. Yeah. After everything's gone to shit. Would you, if you were the only radio broadcaster left around,

would you still adhere to Absolute Radio's song list? Nor a peak guarantee. Which I didn't yesterday. I played The Kooks twice in... No, I played The Kooks twice last week. This weekend I played The Clash. I can't remember which Clash song it was, but I played it twice in 15 minutes.

That's too much. Did you forget? Too much Clash. There's a little quirk with the Absolute Radio play-out system that sometimes copies. Take responsibility. I will take responsibilities for having my hand off the tiller, but I will not take responsibility for the weird and crazy way

that our play- out system works. So for people listening... It duplicates, doesn't move. Duplicates, doesn't move. Right. Much like your contribution to a lot of these shows. People listening outside of this country

will... So just make it clear to them. We'll be astounded that I'm a radio DJ. Either of us are broadcasted professionals. Is the radio station you work for no repeat guarantee just with artists or songs? songs

so you don't hear the same song over and over again it's technically Monday through Friday because I was actually outside the no repeat guarantee actually a guy emailed me yesterday with some wonderful fantastic bit of bit of fishing

hey Pete long time listener first time corresponder have you played the Clash of Stardust or Should I Go some fantastic bit of fishing. Hey, Pete, long-time listener, first-time correspondent. Have you played The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go? He knows the song. Twice this afternoon. I love The Clash, but this song, the song Twice is too much Clash for me. Doesn't absolutely really have some sort of no-repeat policy that entitles me to £1,000.

I'm pointing this out. I look forward to hearing from you, and I'll be happy to forward the details on where to send payment. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Craig. There is no agreement about 1,000. During Monday to Friday, we have a kit.

I don't know where 1,000 pounds come from. We would occasionally give away DAB radios back in the day, but we don't do that anymore because, you know, the plant system sometimes fucks up. Why would he also say, I love The Clash, but two songs is a bit too much for me? Well, you either love them or you don't, mate. No one says, I love this artist,, but two songs is a bit too much for me? Well, you either love them or you don't, mate.

No one says, I love this artist, but I can't listen to one of their songs. I can't tell what he's taking the mick in. It's just too clever for me. But £1,000. It's just £1,000. It's such a weird amount of money.

I forgot to tell you. On Friday, I went to call the cats in for their breakfast. Right. Magnus and Hercules. And they, because I live on the cats in for their breakfast. Right. Magnus and Hercules. And because I live on the first floor, they come up into the back door through the cat flap up the steps.

And they normally come in at the same time most mornings they'll come in for their breakfast. And if they're not already in, I'll call them. Some of them like being outside. So they don't go too far. So I call them in and I hear the telltale sign of the cat flap going twice. Right. And I hear one of them

padding up the steps like this. Something like that. And then... Sorry, is there a cat in here? Because I've got four legs so it's probably like probably one like this.

Like that. Nah, they do two at a time. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Anyway, so one of them comes up. And then I hear the second one come up and it's like

oh vomit vomit in time is it like that oh Jesus what's happened so Hercules comes in that's the ginger one

he's fine Magnus comes in coughing just like coughing like an old man I was like oh Jesus what's happened

and earlier this week he had coughed up a hairball inside which is unlike him and he had been sick Right. I was like, oh Jesus, what's happened? And earlier this week, he had coughed up a hairball inside, which is unlike him. And he had been sick as well. I was like, oh Jesus, because he gets them in the bins and that kind of stuff.

They just eat anything. So probably, it's not completely out of the ordinary, but for him to be coughing like a few days later, he didn't look very happy. So I thought I'd better take him to the vet. So I bundled him in the carry case,

took him to the vet, got to the vet. Oi, what's wrong with my fucking cat? Got to the vet with this coughing old man in the box put him in there

she looked at him looked down his throat sort of examined him and went yeah he's got a sore throat I was like what what

never heard of that before he's got a little sore throat yeah so what happened was he'd coughed up some stomach acid when he was sick and it's burnt his throat a little bit and now he's got this

like old man cough aww give him a cavonia yeah I had to shove him a few antibiotics down his throat this morning a vocal zone yeah

I guess we're cats I just didn't expect it no I expected this how he's got a bone caught on his throat or something

or he's trying to cough up a herb is he right he's fine now yeah he's fine now he was in good form this morning lovely old job

is there a positive of opportunities to give cats antibiotics? Because obviously with humans, doctors are instructed not to do it quite so much anymore because it reduces the effectiveness. Magnus has had so many. He's had so many. They normally get it as an injection, but I think she wanted to just give it. She did give him an injection, and then later on she said, I'll look for the next few days you're going to have to

give him a couple of tablets because I can't put it in his food because Hercules might eat it so it's a bit of a quandary and then he becomes a super cat but I think people should email him on

hello at lukeandpeach.com with their weirdest animal pet injuries and diagnoses because I had not expected to say he's got a sore throat which is a weird thing to say

he's got the sniffles anyway let's have a break come back do some emails. I've got one here from Pilot Gav. My mama thinks I'm lazy. My friends all think I'm crazy. I think I've got nodules or something on my throat.

You know, I was talking about how I couldn't do... I find when I sing now, I can't do notes. Can't do some notes. Can you still do It's Been? It's been. There's the answer. That's Can you still do It's Been? It's been. There's the answer. That's all you need. There's the answer to your question.

I just worry because we're going on a big live tour. We might have to cancel like Ed Sheeran. I do find on a particularly busy week, I remember just before Christmas when we were doing 12 rounds of Christmas, loads of other stuff happening, Talk Sport were asking me to do some shows, and obviously I just talk a lot anyway. Towards the end of the week, my throat was in a real bad state.

I was drinking honey and lemon and all sorts. Well, you do a lot of singing anyway. You're quite a big vocal performer. Quite extroverted. People who listen to this show and my other shows who inexplicably carry on listening but profess to hate me on the internet will not be won over by the

idea that knowing that i sing a lot in my own spare time that will make them more and good won't it oh i don't know where i'll be visiting but um there's a uh spank pal right i think a pop-up must have um come on my phone it says spank pal that old chestnut come together right now is that a beatles reference come together right. Has there ever been a song title with more good songs based around it than Come Together? Find a masturbation part. Come Together the Beatles, Come Together the Beloved,

Come Together Spiritualised. Right. There's a few of them. I wonder if there's been a song title out there with more better versions than Come Together. Probably not, no. Pilot Gav's got in touch, as I promised.

Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. He says, Hi guys, hope you had a cracking bank holiday. He must have emailed this last week. We're nearing the big 200th ep. How far we've all come together. He says,

I agree with Pete. I really struggle to get on board with all this UFO sighting nonsense. It's just not for me. Give me a video from an accredited source of a flying saucer, a wee green bloke with some tentacles

and a squeaky voice telling us, I guess in English, how shit Earth is, and perhaps we can start talking. However, despite being 100% non-believer, there's been a couple of occasions where I've been checking Google as soon as I've landed, because obviously Gavin is a pilot,

to check out things I've seen. We can quite often get a view of the space station working its way across the sky, which is very cool. Lovely. There have been some really bright flashes of light, which have turned out to be meteors breaking up as they get a bit closer to our atmosphere. But I think the closest I've been to believing

was when I saw what turned out to be the launch of SpaceX 60. Picture me sitting there in cruise and seeing a line of 60 small bright lights all connected, moving across our eyeline. Elon Musk up to his old tricks. Worth a look at some of the videos on YouTube if you've not seen it. Sidetracking a little, but the alien chasers among us may be keen to know, within the eye there are two types of photoreceptors, cones and rods.

Essentially they are responsible for allowing our eyes to adapt to light and dark. Cones, which are for light adjustment, take most of the different wavelengths of light in, and we can adjust from dark to light in a matter of a few seconds, probably why it can often be a strain going into a very light room after waking up. The rods, however, which are for dark adjustment, respond to darker colours, such as blues and greens. The process of adjusting to dark, or night vision, fully,

can take up to somewhere between 30 to 50 minutes to try and relate that to some of the post-pub sightings i guess it could be reasonable to suggest that during a walk home people's eyes may have adjusted to a level of night vision that they're not normally used to street lights reflections of car lights or even airplanes will seem a lot clearer throw a couple of shandies in there and who knows it's quite important for pilots to give themselves adequate time to properly adjust to darkness.

If someone was to turn on a light just before landing, it could be very difficult for the pilots to land the plane, especially if the weather or conditions are quite poor. One of the reasons laser attacks are very dangerous,

the dazzling effect can take a long time to overcome for a pilot. A long night flight can allow us to get some great views of the sky. More importantly, it can give us the opportunity to see ahead for any lightning storm clouds that might be in our flight path and while traveling at over 500 miles an hour you can also need you can often need a couple of hundred miles to make a deviation around some storms lots of love pilot gav so a pilot there throwing cold water on ufo chat on this show. Pete, your reaction to that?

It is. It's difficult, and that's why a lot of accidents happen on the old planey planes, because, you know, you look down and you're like, where's the runway going, guys? Guys, where's the runway? Is that the taxiway? Uh-oh.

Yeah. Madeira. Oh, is that the main road? I know. Was it Tenerife? Tenerife. Tenerife. Tenerife was the two planes.

KLM and... One was on the runway, was it not? I want Tenerife. Tenerife was the two planes. KLM and... One was on the runway, was it not? I want to say Pan Am and KLM. I think it was KLM's first. Hundreds of fatalities. It was like 400 people. It's insane. I think it was more than that.

You reckon? I think it was 600. Nah. It would have been 600 if everyone died. I think some people survived in, I think the KLM flight. Either way, it was a bad one. But the Pan Am pilots saved as many people as they could by getting off the taxi there.

Total fatalities, 583. Holy shit, that is almost 600. Bloody hell. I think it's the deadliest in aviation history. There would have been a worse one in, I think it was in Denver, it was an American airport and they'd moved one of the runways.

They turned the lights off or they were fixing the lights or whatever. And they were coming down and the pilots had been on for about 13, 14 hours. Or they'd been awake and they'd only had like six or seven hours. They'd only had like five or six hours sleep. And apparently that's well within or certainly close to well within bounds. But their circadian rhythm dictated that this is where they were the most sleepiest. They weren't going to be able to pay attention

to a lot of stuff, but they got a small bit of information in their readout when they launched the plane, when they went up in the sky, basically saying that this runway's out, this runway's off, land on the other runway, so close for maintenance.

And so they almost landed on the taxiway where there was like five or six planes waiting to last year I think or this year earlier this year did you say the airport?

I can't remember it was an American airport but it would have been a fucking nightmare but they came down and it was only because I think a

Emirates flight turned on its lights to go get off the fucking taxiway mate trying to land on the taxiway but I've been on one

of those flights where it comes in to land I think it was at Luton been on one of those flights where it comes in to land and it was at Luton. It was EasyJet and it went from like, you know, 20% engines.

They come down and then they realise that there's still a plane on the runway. We are not going to Luton. We are not going to land here. It's a dump. But it just went

and straight off again. How did that make you feel? I left my arse on the runway when it took off again. Were you terrified? I wasn't terrified. I was just like, that's, he said, sorry about that, everyone I left my arse on the runway when it took off again. Were you terrified? I wasn't terrified. I was just like, that's... He said, sorry about that. Everyone know there was a plane on our runway.

I was like, that could have been so much worse. Did it make you... He had to... The pilot visually identified a plane on our runway and we went from... We were going into land, 100% please. Did it make you realise how much... What the capability of the planes are compared to what you expect?

Yeah. Because they're a couple of loads, aren't they? They end up not really using the capabilities because they don't need them. Apparently, I think the 747 got close to breaking the soundbar. Mac-1 is breaking the soundbar, isn't it? Yeah.

It got close. It was like 0.99. Really? Yeah, because they test them to a ridiculous degree. So they can shift. I believe I'm right in saying that Pilot Gav or Pilot Neil or any other pilot listening can... I'd love a pilot, Luke, can get in touch and tell us.

Puky. I'm fairly certain that the jet stream coming back from the US, they kind of have to limit how fast they go because they can... It pushes them, yeah. Oh yeah, big time. They broke the record, didn't they? Yeah, it was like

five out of ten minutes or something, wasn't it, from New York to London or something, yeah. But what do you think of the UFO angle? Pilot Gav is a

sceptic. I agree with Pilot Gav on he's in the North, to be honest. The eyes play tricks all of the time. A few people have got in touch talking

about the Rendlesham Forest incident, which is something that happened near RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk. And I did allude to it last week. Very, very interesting story. I'm not going to go through the whole thing

because it's quite long, but that is worth checking out if you're interested in that kind of thing. And that to me is the grey area between kind of unexplained things around Air Force bases that might just be aircraft that just isn't really

announced yet or anything because you and I were very pleased to see the V-22 Osprey the other day, weren't we? It was good. It was a good little

helicopter thing. It's like a plane and a helicopter mashed together. Nice. I'm all about that life. You've got an email, Peter. I've got an email

from, who've got here, Andy. Pete, I was violently wincing on my train home last week. Sounds about right. Listening to Absolute Radio. Where's that come from? Listening to... Well, you played The Clash three times in a row. I was violently wincing on my train home last week sounds about right listening to absolute

absolute radio where's that come from listening to well you played The Clash three times in a row I'll go for the record next weekend yeah

I was violently wincing on my train home last week when you opted for an impromptu science experiment to see if sometimes your plums can swap places please do not do this oh yeah

we had a few people talking about that you could easily end up with something called testicular torsion which sounds like a unidentified new plane

testicular torsion it's codenamed testicular torsion it's a new trainer from adidas I played football with a guy called Alex

I think he's called Alex Jenkins haven't seen him for years lovely fella Alex Jenkins played football with me at uni he was

out on the elder on the tiles shall we say ended up long story short I think he ended up standing at a mate's house

on the floor but it was a hard floor he twisted and turned the night and he twisted his balls yeah so he woke up in just excruciating pain

couldn't imagine what was going on and they called an ambulance and they took him in and they sorted it out but they took him in and they sorted it out but that was bad. I think he might

have had to have an operation. I think it was quite difficult. Sometimes it can happen going from a cold room to a warm room.

What? Yeah. Well now I'm going to be worried again. What are you talking about? Just concentrate on your cat's health

alright? Listen the human body should be much better equipped over millions of years of evolution and be able to walk between a hot and a cold room.

Andy Saunders finishes the email saying I don't know the lengths of his misery or pain. A friend of his had testicular torsion but he basically had to walk around

with an ice nappy like device for four weeks after the doctors put him in the right place again. An ice nappy for four weeks. Yeah, it's not it's apparently a lot more serious than you perhaps expect.

Don't twist your balls, guys. Also, I remember a kid I grew up with was circumcised and he had to sleep on his back with like a cage over his cock and balls. Like one of those chastity things that you see on the internet. So the blanket

or whatever wouldn't stick to it. Grim. It's grim. It's just so grim. I'll never understand second person. It's fucking mental. Yeah, it's crazy. Apparently it's good.

It's much healthier though. It's not much healthier. No, it is because you've got a much less chance of retaining infection and stuff. Not much less. I would say

I'm sure a doctor will get in touch. It's not much less. It'll be like 5% or something. Just keep yourself clean. Have we ever talked more about cocks and balls in an episode than this? I was watching an episode of Naked Attraction.

Have you seen that show? I've never watched a full episode. It's weird. I think she was like a lady who sort of professed to be a big choir woman, an older lady. She just sings in a choir. That is not a phrase. I'm a big choir woman. Her identity was that she sang in a choir and it was quite a weird not a phrase well she was like i'm a big choir woman her eye her identity was that she sang in a choir um and she had such a potty mouth she

was just like try you know people who try and overemphasize how sexual they are and they end up sort of sounding really like virgins it's like i'm so no i love fucking like jay from the in between yeah exactly so he's so she's like going like she's just reviewing their cocks going oh i like that she said something about the guy's foot oh I love them feet I like a foot right up

and she's the pussy bad it was very weird very weird woman very strange when I ever catch a bit of that show I often think do we really need

to have this show on do we really need it well they dress it up in kind of like kind of cod physiological kind of like medical sort of thing yes you know exactly a lot of like kind of cod physiological kind of like medical sort of thing

you know a lot of people have this and a lot of people have that little cartoons but it's only window dressing for scenes so Channel 4 and 5 do that a lot

so they there's Channel 5 Road Wars have you ever seen that actually it's not Channel 5 anymore I think it's like Pic TV or something

but it's they follow a lot of police around like the Thames Valley area. This guy thinks he's king of the road. Right. But essentially, it's just there because people

who have been smoking weed late at night want to watch people get arrested or slag off the police or see a car accident. But they dress it up in a kind of, oh,

this is educational. Yeah. Don't do this because this could end up with three years in jail. But the narrator does it in kind of like a mock Danny Dyer way. So instead of saying,

and this guy eventually went down for three years for possession of a class A substance, what they actually say is, this geezer ended up doing three to five for a possession charge. He's doing bird now. What a nightmare.

Because they understand their audience so they want to try and talk down to their audience and Channel 4 also massively do that kind of

rubbernecking type stuff with is it Dr. Christian Jessup oh right and it's just people again people just want to it's like a sideshow

circus thing oh look at this bloke he's the poor guy he's the fattest man they've ever seen. Let's look at him with his clothes off

when they're actually talking about obesity levels and stuff. But really, it's very transparent. Lauren Harries was on it. I don't know who that is. Remember that kid

who was on Worgen? Oh, the... The antiques expert. Okay, the transgender antiques expert. The trans expert who became a woman. He's not an expert

at being trans. I guess maybe... Antique expert. Ant trans expert who became a woman. He's not an expert at being trans. I guess maybe more people are. Antique expert. Antique expert, yeah. The kid could kind of figure out how much things were worth, even though I think he was getting fed it by his dad or something. Oh, was that? By her dad, yeah.

Okay, right. So it was, yeah, fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. But she was on there, and he was a little bit exploitative, I think, because she's not very well. Right, okay. She was on there and it was a little bit exploitative, I think, because she's not very well. Right. You do get, I'm not suggesting that Lauren Harris falls under this umbrella, but you do, we have a section of people now in the UK who are probably too famous for shit reasons

to get a normal job. Yes. But aren't famous enough to earn money for being famous. Yes. So what you find is, you know, someone like, I don't know, like Howard from the Halifax adverts. He's the first one that pops into my mind. Right.

He's not really going to get a normal job, is he? So he's going to have to end up doing terrible PAs, just like in the Office Christmas special. Yeah. Because no one's going to get him. He's not going to be presenting the South Bank show, is he? I mean, that's a pretty weighty show, but anything really.

People get bored, don't they? This is in our future, isn't it? We won't even get those PA jobs. It's more just what I like about, what makes me confused, the reality stars that want to be famous for the sake of being famous, but not having any remuneration for that

fame yeah like i can understand why benedict cumberbatch uh takes it on the chin that he's a famous person and people will come up and say hello and stuff like that but if you're um a star you ain't getting paid and you got to put with that shit have i told you the story about um donny tourette of towers of london uh the story about Donny Tourette of Towers of London? Probably not. So Donny Tourette, people who are listening might remember. Isn't he back labouring or something? No, no, no, no.

I'll tell you the story. He was in a band, a punk band called Towers of London, around the time when guitar music became popular again, 2005-ish, I guess. And his real name's Patrick. And he was a TV, kind of like an assistant producer at Sky before he did this and now he's gone back to

TV again. Right. But when I worked with him at the same company and we used to have the same commute so I became quite

friendly with him we used to chat on the way to work and stuff and he had to basically change his hair, change his look,

do everything because people wouldn't keep recognising him hammering him and he said that because I would say with the round wall everyone's really nice you don't really get people recognizing you that often when they do they're always really friendly and it's nice

to have a chat and all the rest of it he said yeah for me it's just people screaming at me like swearing at me and stuff yeah and and hating me because of the way i was covering the press looking back at now it's like a massive mistake so i think he's i don't want to speak on behalf of him but obviously he's really struggled to change it around because he didn't really consider how much that would last in his own personal life

I think they've just released a documentary I think which looks very low budget like the band looked very low budget he could definitely

beat you up in a fight so think about that he's got a tasty right hook on him hasn't he and crucially Pete exactly that he's not afraid to let his hands go And crucially, Pete, exactly that.

He's not afraid to let his hands go. A lot of us, we could be tough, but we just don't want to get in fights. Yeah. People who want to get in fights, it's a lot harder, isn't it? I think about my hands. I'd do a Bernie Sanders. I'd punch someone.

Punch the speedball and hit you back. And what noise would you make? No! I died Bernie Sanders. I just took a one in the face. Fuck. It's like a Simpsons version of Bernie Sanders. I just took a one in the face. Fuck. It's like a Simpsons version of Bernie Sanders. God damn it.

Right, let's get out of here. Episode 200 next. Oh, no. What are we going to do? Don't know. Thank you.
