I've always got things to sort of introduce the show. It's some kind of style I'm going to start the show with. But then I always forget as soon as the music starts. I go completely blank. I'm not a professional. Luke Moore, Pete Donaldson with you.

starts. I got completely blank. I'm not a professional. Luke Moore, Pete Donaldson with you. This is the Luke and Pete show number 199.7 .51 .51. Yeah. Sorry. This was your idea..51 And I think people who

listen to this show, if you're a new listener to the show, welcome. Yes. Come on in. The water is dirty and tepid. Enjoy the decimals. Make sure you've had your injections. Yeah. And if you're a regular listener, and I hope I'm not speaking out of turn by saying this, Peter,

they're going to know exactly what you're like and what your level is, if I may say that. Right, okay. And they're not going to be surprised to know that you think of loads of really good ideas, don't write them down, and then forget them. Yeah, that's true.

So don't worry about it. People have decided... I'm not worried about it. I look at you. We're like Kerrang and the body of Kerrang in this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Was that ever named? I'm the brain, but you're the big stupid monster that I live in. The belly.

But there's the body of Kerrang. The big muscle man. Yeah, did it have a name? I've never ever heard him being addressed as anything but Krang's body. Can you do a good impression of Krang? Say Shredder like Krang. Oh, I don't know how he... Shredder! Oh, yeah.

Oh, that one there. Yeah. I mean, that's how a brain would speak. Because a brain's kind of like doing everything. Legs! Move your fucking leg! Yeah. Arm!

Move your fucking arm! Don't say that that you cunt that's what the brain is constantly doing yeah but the but Kerrang

is it Kerrang or Krang Krang Krang is the metal music magazine yeah Krang is the brain but he doesn't look like a brain he just looks like a big

amorphous kind of blob of blamons doesn't he but I think you're I think you're wrong to an extent here because I think the whole thing is Krang.

He just happens to have the brain and the face in the stomach. Nah, fuck that. He shouldn't be messing around with the face and his brain. No, it's true. That's too many brains. Maybe he was a conjoined twin,

but he's just all fucked up. He was the ultimate big bad boss. So for me, for people who aren't familiar with Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, the cartoon, the hierarchy of the evil side of the coin was as follows. Crank.

Crank. Shredder. Yeah. Rocksteady and Bebop. Yeah. I'll get you, turtles. Foot Soldiers. Oh, yeah, the Foot Soldiers.

They never really got names, did they? No. I wonder who played the Foot Soldiers in the Ninja Turtles film. I loved the Ninja Turtles first film. I really loved it. There's a really good bit in one of the Austin Powers movies where he does that skit about how no one ever thinks about the henchmen, the nameless henchmen in movies.

And they cut to a scene in a bar, and it's Rob Lowe, and he's the best man for this bachelor party, and they're all having a few beers, but the bachelor doesn't turn up because he's a henchman for Dr Lowe and he's the best man for this bachelor party and they're all having a few beers but the bachelor doesn't turn up because he's a henchman

for Dr. Evil he's been killed and it's like we have been seeing less of him since he became a henchman for Dr. Evil

and no one ever thinks of them I've got a lot of time for that no one ever thinks of the foot soldiers anyway Peter how does this Monday

find you how was the weekend you made it through another weekend a succulent Chinese meal on a Sunday night again? I had a really heavy burger, chips and wing combo that made me do a tactical vomit at 7 o'clock this morning. You being serious?

Yeah, I'm being serious, yeah. I woke up and I was just feeling very heavy in the tum-tum and I was like, this is unhelpful. I'm going to do a tactical vom-vom. Dare we name and shame the popular high street brand? The food was delicious street the food was delicious the food was

delicious the chicken wings were nice the chips and the dip were lovely but I fear I may have overindulged

because I am a completist yeah sounds like it so will you be thinking about going back to Chinese next week

I think I have to because Chinese you can just sort of put in the fridge and not worry about really so yeah I should

really have done a little bit of that. The whole thing makes me feel a bit sick. What do you mean? What me technically vomiting at 7 o'clock in the morning.

I had spaghetti and meatballs. Ah spaghetti and meatballs. Not fancy enough for a Sunday. Yeah I know what you mean.

But back when I was a lot fatter than I am now. For me I realised that dinner had become like an event. And so if I'd say to my wife, what are we having for dinner? She'd go, I've just got some soup in. I'd be like, what? It's dinner.

We can't do that. It's like Friday night. We've got to have loads of food and it's got to be a big event. And she was always looking at me a bit strangely. And now I get that, but I understand what you mean. I did achieve something for the first time this weekend. I had a whole pipe, large pipe of prawn cocktail Pringles.

Now, if you know me, I will wax lyrical about how little I care for eating more than a small pack of Pringles because they make me feel very unwell. The acid ingestion. But I took a ranitidine tablet to take on this heady task of eating an entire pipe in one go of Pringles. And I managed it, ladies and gentlemen. I managed it. So,

you're basically having to take medication in advance enabling you to eat the food you want to eat. Yeah, you're like some sort of competitive eater.

Yeah, that shouldn't be happening. I'm like, who's the guy at a green book where he eats a lot of hot dogs? Oh,

Viggo Mortensen. Viggo Mortensen. Viggo Mortensen, before he gets the job. Yeah, for a bet. So if you've got to take medication ahead of time, that's probably the universe's way of saying that you shouldn't probably be doing it. By the way, I would say that prawn cocktail is right up there in the top three crisp flavours for me

although Pringles aren't technically crisps are they they make your hands stink yeah I know you've got feelings on Pringles

but Pringles are probably one of the best crisps they're just very easy to eat I've got no problem with them as a potato snack

they're just not crisp I went to the NFL London launch last week like late last week oh yeah yeah

how many stars did you chat to? Well, I'm at the stage of life now where obviously I'm going to be 40 next year and I don't really relish the idea at my age

of going to parties, let alone parties that are miles away from my house. Even if they do have free food and drink and stuff. But I'm quite into NFL. Right.

And obviously my wife really likes NFL. And so I thought it's quite cool things are going to be like the Vince Lombardi trophy was there and there was free stuff being dished out. Right. And there was some other bits and pieces going on. So I thought, you know what? I'm just going to go. I'm going to go along.

So I went along. And you do end up doing this weird sort of celebrity spotting type thing um and seeing those and you you've got much more experience of this than me i presume but seeing celebrities into interacting with each other in their own sort of environment it's quite a weird thing because because my experience in total of seeing celebrities will be i'll see i'll see one on the street in london or and they'll be off somewhere or they'll be up on stage when you go and watch something but them interacting in the national natural environment is quite weird i found

no one knows who i am so i just stand there watching them yeah and and and it's me it's quite yeah i'm just watching i just but it's quite weird like all the stuff that's been said about um just watching but it's quite weird like all the stuff that's been said about um certain people you kind of end up making an assessment about whether that's fair or not based on what you've seen of them right okay you know well it's just it's that kind of nod that famous people give each other like they're like a famous person can talk to another famous person without actually even knowing them because yeah yeah it happens all the time I've seen like you know the game are in here kind of thing and that's how we're doing it

yeah I've seen the old Doctor Who who's quite a bit of a party it's just the Doctor the show's called Doctor Who the Doctor he's called the Doctor why's it called Doctor Who then?

because the show is called Doctor Who because I don't know who the Doctor is he's not called Doctor Who what so the whole show is trying to figure out what the Doctor is

I've never seen Doctor Who. I saw one Doctor Who from the 70s and it was racist. And I never watched another one. There's no big deal here. It's just the character is the Doctor. And a man dressed up as a Chinese man. Is the Doctor. It was unedifying.

Matt Smith? Matt Smith. Party Matt Smith. No eyebrows. Has he got no eyebrows? No, not really. Google him. He's got no eyebrows.

Weird. He's an eyebrow agnostic. Yeah. He's staying out of it. Yeah. I'm staying out of it. You'd think that would help as an actor, having eyebrows. I'm aware of the concept no eyebrows. Weird. He's an eyebrow agnostic. Yeah. He's staying out of it. Yeah. I'm staying out of it. You'd think that would help as an actor, having eyebrows.

I'm aware of the concept of eyebrows, I'm just not sure I want to commit myself to them yet. He was in a bar that I was in, and the head of Swindon Branch from the office. Oh, Neil. Was it Neil? Patrick Ballardy. Neil was there.

The little slug was there. The little slug was there. What bar is this? It was the Groucho. Well, you're not a member of it anymore because you don't want to pay the fees. I don't want to pay the fees. No, my main reason was because it went a bit poo

and Alan Pardew was seen on more than one weekend. I said, I am not very much like Groucho Marx himself. The only way you are like Groucho Marx. I do not want to be part of a club that allows Alan Pardew entrance. Remember, yeah. Propping at the bar, as I was obviously as well. Yeah, they would give each other a little nod inside a chat

and I was thinking, they don't know each other. Alan Pardew, well, Matt Smith is... Sorry, Matt Smith and the bloke from The Office were just sort of like... Oh, okay, right. They'd never met each other and they went, oh, yeah, mate, I was going right here. And they were having some asinine conversations. They might have seen each other at like

auditions or screen tests or something maybe no no they literally I could hear the conversation they went

oh I love your work man I love your work man I love your work and it was just like oh this is rubbish and you were sort of trying to interject

can I be friends with both of you please does anyone love my work probably not I don't even love my work so yeah okay does anyone in here love themselves

no it's the groucho there was there were two boxers at that event I'm not going to name them one because they're

boxers and they're hard one of them was just with a minder because obviously people won't have a pop-up box

especially when they're drunk he's a small one he's a little boy so he had a minder, because obviously people won't have a pop-up box, I don't know, especially when they're drunk. And he's a small one. Right. He's a little boy. Yeah. And so he had a minder with him. The other one, people can fill in the blanks themselves if they like boxing.

Okay. Pulled up, turned up late in a bright red sports car. Left it outside the entrance. Yeah. Right. This is Spurs Stadium. There's not really any driving to be done. Did it anyway.

Personalised number plate, obviously. Came in, did his thing. And then AJ Tracy came on. Who's AJ Tracy? He's a rap artist. He's one of these hippity hop out artists. Quite a big deal. He's just sold out Alexandra Palace, the big one,

not the one we're doing. And he came on stage. And this boxer while everyone's standing picture like three or four hundred people standing about to watch quite a small gig

in a small room that's been converted and it's got a stage oh he's doing one of those those gigs are awful aren't they I don't know why I'll come on to that

in a minute I'll come on to that in a minute this boxer pulled up a chair in the middle of everyone and just sat down in the middle

only person in the room on a chair. Mate, he's Frank Bruno. He can do what he wants. It wasn't Frank Bruno. But AJ Tracy, I was quite impressed. I'd never really heard

any of his stuff before and he came on and he did his first number and then... Here's my first number. New York, New York. How do you like your eggs in the morning?

And then he said, I've done loads of industry shows. Yeah. Let's not make this a boring one don't just stand there folding your arms no problem

if you don't like my music that's cool if you don't know who I am that's also fine but if you're going to have a good time great if not

move to the back so the people who want a good time can have a good time and I haven't got to stand there looking at people with stony faces and you haven't got to

stand there confused and everyone did that and it was quite decent. Oh, I left. I left about three shots on you. I thought, I like the cut of your jib, but to be honest,

I'm about 40 miles away from home. I've got work tomorrow, so I'm going to go home. Anyway, it was quite fun. I got a free baseball cap. Oh, nice. So a photo with the Vince Lombardi trophy. NFL fans listening in.

Right. So it was all right. Nice. Vince Lombardi trophy, NFL fans listening in. Right. So it was all right. Nice. A Vince Lombardi, a Linda Lussardi, and who the hell are you? That's a song I just made about that trophy. That was actually so good that I thought that wasn't a well-known song. That's your song? Okay.

The Linda Lussardi, Vince Lombardi song. I meant to ask you, because you're a man who's on the Hollywood movie gravy train to an extent when it comes to the press junkets and all the rest of it and I do think a lot of our listeners

get in touch talking about how much they like when you talk about interviewing people and all that kind of stuff have you had anything to do with the new

I've missed those emails with the new jokery jokery the new joker movie the old jokery movie no no it's

no I've not had any we've not had any of the talent in to be honest I think he doesn't do any any presser does he what's his name

Joaquin Phoenix does he not have to I thought he was part of the um no I think like some people don't have to

certainly like certainly the Batman franchise is uh the Batman I can't remember the actor's name uh

Christian Bale Christian Bale's never had to do any I thought they built into their contract though I think it depends

I think it depends I think you get like a little premium a little bonus if you fancy a bit of that but you know you don't have to well the movie

The Joker comes out I think it's 4th of October looks good yeah looks brilliant it's got really good reviews at what point do you normally do the sort of press for it

comes out 8th of October 5th of October 4th I think 4th of October it'll probably be around the back end of this month I'd say so you might get it

probably not that would probably go to one of the bigger bigger shows I think fourth or fifth. It'll probably be around the back end of this month, I'd say. So you might get it? Probably not. That would probably go to one of the bigger shows who've been offered recently. I got one taken away from me. Who's the guys who were in It? I've done it about three or four times. James McAvoy I've done it about three or four times, but everyone's got pulled.

I don't really know why. Right, I don't know who else was in the joke. Another thing I found interesting about it I don't know really know why right I don't know who else is in the Joker another thing I found interesting about it was that it's produced by Bradley Cooper

he's getting himself involved in that he's getting involved in the old films very earnest in interviews about his filmmaking very earnest

the Joker's got Robert De Niro in it as well though ah cool I think it's very much a character study of sort of one character. So it's probably

dominated by Wacky and Phoenix who is brilliant to be fair. But he never does press, no? I've not seen him do much press. I've not seen him do many chitchats. He'd be at

Kermode and Mayo, would he? If he's going to do anyone he's going to do BBC. Yeah. They're the big dogs. They the big dogs. Do you fancy watching it? Kermode.

Is it Kermode? Kermode, isn't it? Kermode is a toilet. So presumably it doesn't pronounce like a toilet. Yeah, but I mean, his name is Kermode, doesn't it?

People are going to say that. Do you ever listen to Kermode and Mayo? On occasion, yeah. Okay. I find Mayo slightly unlikable. Kermode is brilliant.

Kermode's brilliant. He's a brilliant broadcaster, isn't he? He's really good. He's fantastic. He's in a band, isn't he? Yeah, he's in a band called, they're a blues band. I can't remember what they're called now. I've seen the Ferrari of Jeremy Renner, who I believe is also in a band.

I find Jeremy Renner very strange. Again, very unlikable. Why? I wonder who lives in this world. Who's famous, whose favorite actor is Jeremy Renner. I am imagining a 50 year old housewife from the Midwest. That's all I've got in my head. Get in touch.

If you're, if you're, if you're Jeremy Renner in the subject time, Jeremy Renner. I mean, I, I don't dislike him as an actor, but his, um, his outside interests are very interesting. He doesn't have any charisma. That's the thing. If you watch the Avengers movies and you see all the star quality of all the people in it.

Yeah, but he's been given a shitty character, hasn't he? Well, probably because no one else will do it. Hawkeye? Is it Hawkeye? Yeah, the bow and arrow man. Bow and arrow man. That's his name? His name is bow and arrow man.

Yeah. Imagine that. Black Panther. Thor. Hulk. Iron Man. Imagine that. Black Panther. Thor. Hulk. Iron Man. Bow and Arrow Man. Big green boy.

Yeah, what would you call them all? The Metal Millionaire. Who else has he got? Big green boy, the Metal Millionaire, Bow and Arrow Man. Scarlett Johansson. Just Scarlett Johansson. What about Thor? Thor.

Hammer Man. He'd be Hammer Man. Blondie Hammer Man. Blondie Hammer Man. Yeah. Goldilocks. about Thor Thor Hammer Man he'd be Hammer Man Blondie Hammer Man Blondie Hammer Man yeah Goldilocks Goldilocks Hammer Man I can see there being

like a Bollywood version of Avengers yes I love those things they're beautiful let's Pete let's take a short break and contemplate

naming some more Marvel superheroes on each step with Peloton from their pop runs to walk and talks, you define what it means to be a runner. Whatever your level, embrace it. Journey starts when you say so.

Learn more at onepeloton.ca slash running. Look at me. Ah, Geri Halliwell there in her natural habitat, the song.

Is it the natural habitat? Yeah, the song she sings. I made myself laugh there and that rarely happens i can remember chris moyles used to do parody versions of pop songs on his no i'm gonna say it's radio one breakfast i think i remember him doing whatever he did back then he's still doing now let's make that very clear i'll let you be the judge of that when i'll tell you how problematic this was right um because i think he did a version of let me entertain you and it was like for robbie williams i think robbie williams obviously put a bit of weight on something and it was like and he did feed me feed me pasta like that right but i i think i'm right and say feed me me. Feed me, pastor. Yeah.

I think he did one about Geri Halliwell. Right. Where he had assessed that she had put on weight. Right, okay. Because it was, look at me, I can eat all the pastries in the bakery, maybe. Right, okay. Problematic. Well, he's coming from a certain position, isn't he?

Himself, or he was. In a fat lad himself. In a fat lad himself. I was a fat lad. I still am a bit of a fat lad myself. I wouldn't do that. Yeah, I know you shouldn't. About a fellow professional. I'm sure Gerry Halliwell doesn't care.

Well, who knows? Who knows? But you're known as being ultra-woke, so a kind of man in power taking the mickey out of a lady like that is bad form, isn't it? Punching down, isn't it? It's just, I mean it it's just I mean it's not even

in the top 10 bad things that Chris Marshall has done and now we're going to hear those top 10 hit the jingle no email time

hello at lukeandpetecher.com I remember he did a clip where he oh we're not doing emails Petecher's going to carry on producer Aled who is

a gay gentleman who I think is quite high up at BBC radio on now I think he's high up at BBC Radio 1 now I think he's in charge of music maybe and they did this skit where they would talk about

where he was really shouting at Aled but they reversed it right when it played out so are you fucking and it was just him just shouting

the most horrible homophobic invective it was just it was incredible how long ago was this? 10-15 years ago maybe right and they just reversed it

and of course if you reverse it you can just reverse it again and hear what they actually said and it was obscene and that went out on the radio so it's like

yeah can you shout in can you shout something backwards on the radio that's really offensive or can you shout something that's in a different language I've done that a couple of times.

I think there'll be, I'll give us 25 more reps of this max before we're just doing the same shows but backwards. Yes! We should just do that. Hello at LukeandPete.com

is the email address to get in touch. A lot of you have done so more recently. More recently. What I've found here is a very interesting start to this email section

from Austin Hunter. He's emailed in. So hello, Luke and Pete. Great name, by the way. That's probably the actual name of Hawkeye in Marvel. Austin Hunter, yeah. That sounds really good. Hello, Luke and Pete.

As you asked for weird animal illnesses, I didn't say that necessarily. What I said was my cat had a sore throat, which is quite weird to me. Austin says it brought back to me when one of my dogs was a puppy. It managed to get a serrano pepper from the garden. And we didn't know this until the poor thing started running in circles looking at its backside and yelping.

My father and I were confused on what was going on. Meanwhile the dog was at this point almost screaming as it was taking a poo. After as we laughed, realising what happened in the garden. Poor old dog. Because it does burn on the way out as well, doesn't it?

Right, okay. So on the way in, it didn't seem to bother him, but on the way out... Well, dogs can eat things very quickly. I don't think it probably registered. I've seen my father... Well, I haven't seen it,

but I know my father-in-law's dog. I told you it ate a sock. It ate a whole massive stick of butter. But the thing with that is if you watch a dog get up on the side or whatever and do that, if you think of a stick of butter being like that big, that'll be gone, I'm telling you, in under five seconds. Yeah, but dogs eat things.

Wrapper and everything. Dogs eat stuff that they're clearly not allowed to eat really quick. Because they know someone's going to run over and pull out their mouth. The vet I go to with the cats has got a bowl for sale in the little shop bit. It's like a normal dog food bowl, but it almost looks a bit like a miniature maze. All the food goes into little cracks and little holes and stuff to stop the dogs eating so quick because it really hammers their indigestion. Nice. Because if you give a

bottle of food to a dog, it's gone in like 10 seconds. It's done. It's just done. So you kind of wonder if there's an evolutionary thing at play here. Oh man, I love dogs. I want to say a big hello to Lee Dobson. Actually, this is pointed out by my mate and I think she is I want to say hello, big hello to Lee Dobson. Actually, this was pointed out by my mate, and I think she is right.

Hello, hello, says Lee. Going out on a limb here, I'm not checking the net before sharing my tea knowledge, so this could just turn out to be some bollock somebody once told me, and I've chosen to take it as gospel since. But wasn't the practice of putting milk in your tea before or after the hot water dependent on your social class? I remember this. The porcelain of the working class was significantly shitter than that of the hot water, dependent on your social class. And remember this, the porcelain of the working class

was significantly shitter than that of the ruining elite, and therefore they had to pour the milk in first so that the extreme heat of the boiling water would be tempered and therefore would not crack the cup. Oh, that's interesting. Yes. That's very, very interesting.

I'd like to know if anyone else is out there listening and knows whether that's true or not, let us know, because I quite like the sound of that. we did discuss we did discuss last week pete the idea that if you're brewing tea in a teapot anyway it doesn't matter if the milk goes in first or not yeah exactly i think that's fine it's just i don't think i think i speak on behalf of the whole of the uk here when i say we don't want to see picture the scene a mug a tea bag and it dry and a little bit of milk in the bottom no don't want to see that picture the scene, a mug, a tea bag in it dry, and a little bit of milk in the bottom.

No. We don't want to see that. No one wants to see that. Unless you, I mean, your milk is overdoing it a lot of the time. You use a lot of milk in your tea. Here we go. I've got one here on the go. What do you think of that?

It looks like Tippex. That's how white it is. No, look at it. Look at it properly. It's not that bad, is it? Look at tea. It's not that bad, is it? It looks like Tippex. It looks like you're drinking white paint. it properly. It's not that bad, is it? Look at tea. It's not that bad, is it? It looks like tip-ex.

It looks like you're drinking white paint. I don't think it's that bad. But the amount of milk you use, no, I would not be putting in a tea bag. But I use slightly less milk, so I think I'd possibly get away with it. I went to work on Saturday and I grabbed some porridge

from the little cafe thing next door to where I was working. And they had all these different... It's one of these trendy kind of... You can have porridge here. These are the different things kind of, oh, you can have porridge here. These are the different things we offer. Hey, you can have porridge here. Yeah, that's what it says.

Have some fucking porridge. Yeah. And it said, and the offer was like, I can't remember, there was loads of different ones. But I went for peanut butter, banana,

and a squeeze of honey, right? Right. Yeah. If you take the idea that like idea that the porridge was in a pot maybe that height, a little bit wider than that, like that, probably that big, it's a whole banana in there, a massive spoonful of peanut butter,

and loads of honey. There was probably room for about, I would say, at a premium, 125 oats. It's just the balance was wrong and I think very claggy I don't think we yeah it was

I don't think we talk about the balance enough when it comes to things we put on the plate so and there's two factors to this

one is that if you and I are going for dinner there's no option at a restaurant I mean there's no option

to have a different size of dinner for a different price like you would get like a t-shirt right just get a starter serving of something yeah you could just start a menu it's different though isn't it all i'm saying is it's patently absurd that if i go for dinner my wife who's like literally half my size and we order the same thing we eat the same thing we eat the same thing we order the same thing. We eat the same thing. We eat the same thing. We want the same thing. Belinda there.

I always met Belinda Carlisle. That would be a thrill for me. You almost met Belinda Carlisle. I was in talk sports. She was in talk radio. Right. Our paths did not cross. We were like ships passing in the night. I'd have got a photo straight away.

Not many celebrities would I be so unprofessional in the working environment where they'll ask for a photo. Belinda's definitely one of them. Anyway, think about different sizes if you're listening in restaurants. I think it's a goer. And the other thing is that people

don't get the ratio right when it comes to things like the amount of salad or the amount of fries or whatever. The amount of salad? Yeah, for me. Actually, Lee finishes the email by saying I can also chip in on the Scandinavian tea traits. We do indeed. They don't go anywhere near milk, do they? Yeah, for me. Actually, Lee finishes the email by saying, I can also chip in on the Scandinavian tea traits. We do indeed. They don't go anywhere near milk, do they?

No, we spent the last 13 years in Copenhagen and Malmo. It's true, they do tend to drink tea without milk, but it's not our flavour tea. They love a little fruity tea. The combinations are endless. I've attached pictures of some crap I found in my cupboard over a decade here, and I still can't stomach the entirely unnecessary Scandic indulgence.

To be honest, Lee, you've not attached that picture, so we can't even look at that. So it's good to know that it's so wild. Absolute Donaldson of an email there. Absolute Donaldson of an email there. But I would like to think that up there they probably do licorice tea, which I'm very much a fan of. I remember getting a chocolate bar when I was in Reykjavik. Hid a little bit of licorice in there. Mate, we had been out all day

and I was really near the sugar hill on the way back to the hotel. I thought we should pop into this convenience store and get a chocolate bar. Yeah, no, it was worse than that, mate. It was a whole stick of salted licorice just covered in a bit of chocolate. That's all right.

Nah, not for me. Well, the chocolate goes well with salt, doesn't it? By the way, I should say to, whose email is that, Lee? To Lee's email that I do love a fruit tea and of course

I don't put milk in that. I mean, no one puts milk in that. The only time I have a fruit tea is when I do a voiceover at Discovery Channel and I always get a little ginger on. Yeah.

Just to clear my voice a bit. Yeah. I'm considering that I'm going to the doctors about my nodule that I think I've got. Because I've been singing and I can't hit some of the notes I used to be able to hit. Or maybe I'm just going through some kind of weird second puberty. Fucking Alfie Bowe over there. I don't think you're going to...

By the way, I saw Alfie Bowe last week. Did you now? I went to the 25th anniversary. I don't know, the 30th, maybe the 35th, doesn't matter, anniversary Les Mis concert. Oh, you spoke about this, yeah. I've already told you.

I think so, yeah. Anyway, Pete, I don't think people are going to, I don't think it's a great loss to culture. My singing voice. Yeah. We've got a live show, mate. If I lose my voice, we're going to have to cancel a lot of gigs like Ed Sheeran.

We're going to be in big trouble, mate. Big trouble. We'll have to do all the heavy lifting ourselves, won't we? You will have to anyway. Dave King says, hi, chat. I was following on from your UFO chat

and Pete's blatant refusal to accept that there may be something else out there. I've never said there isn't anything out there. I've said there is something out there. Who's the name of this emailer? Dave.

Dave, I'll let you know. I'll let you and the rest of the listening audience into a secret Pete sometimes goes through moods as we all do it's not a pop at him or anything like that we all go through it but the way Pete's moods manifest themselves is

rather than being kind of grumpy I mean he is that but he also gets really cynical about stuff and doesn't want to engage in anything and that's kind of what was happening at that point. I think you just didn't want to know. I think if you've been honest with yourself, you are interested in that subject.

You were just having a bad day. No, I'm not interested in UFOs. They're either... He's doubling down now, Dave. It's nonsense. It's always the most uninteresting people who come up with those ideas. Uninteresting. Boring.

Anyway, since we sent robots to Mars before sending humans isn't it possible that the first extraterrestrials that we encounter on Earth could not be

the aliens themselves but might be their technology instead not my words the words of renowned thinker and ex-premier league

footballer Rob Earnshaw yeah he did I do think there's something in that I think there's something in that

and I also think there's something an exploratory droid I think there's something in that. I think there's something in that, and I also think there's something in- An exploratory droid. I think there's something also in the idea that obviously people, people much more clever than us, disagree on when human beings actually could be considered human beings.

Say it's like 100 or 200, say it's 200,000 years, right? When humans were essentially evolved into humans. Before they got technology, it was what? Realistically. A couple of hundred years ago? Aye. So you're talking about the blink of an eye, 200 years.

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old. So the window is so small, and you'd imagine really in the near to medium-term future, we're probably going to destroy ourselves in some capacity, or some extinction- level event's going to wipe us out say that happens in a thousand years time

so that's probably 1200 years of technology in total in 4.5 billion years of the earth so the windows are so small

that that means the probability is so much lower so I just think it's probably got something to do with that I'd say unless there's been

a very very fortunate civilisation out there who's managed to last for a lot longer and sent a load of shit to us good point but we haven't seen it though we haven't seen it

and the proof is in the pudding as always but a lot of as I said on that Netflix documentary which name escapes me at the moment now there was a lot

you were on a Netflix documentary no on that oh you watched it right okay I see imagine if I was on that I didn't mention it to you anything good that happens to me

I'll tell everyone all the time instantly so there's no way that would have passed you by you just had a little Luke special to be honest they do put a lot of

middling stand-ups on Netflix nowadays they'll just have a special is that how you see me? what? a middling stand-up I've never even done a middling stand-up exactly

you've not even tested tested the waters I could do it though I've seen you worry about a ram do it though I've seen you worry about a ramble live mate I've seen you knocking knocking your heel

no how do you knocking your knees is that when you're scared knocking your knees well you should know you've seen me do it yeah you know that in every way

that I've once told a joke down the pub and people laughed I now like every other bloke of my age think I could be a stand up right okay yeah yeah

Marcus used to do a bit from the Ramble, didn't he? Yeah, a bit. That's a strange part of his history, I always think. Is it? Well, it's just kind of like, to just get up there and do jokes when like, you know, Jim writes stand-up.

I've never seen Marcus write gags, so to speak. Come for the inane chat. Stick around for the Ramble Easter eggs. Luke and Pete show fascinating but you know when someone tells you something you're like

oh that's something I did not expect from you so 50% of the football ramble have done have done stand up the original football ramble line up

of football ramble daily that's what you've got to call it have done stand up you and I haven't untested mate you and I haven't

didn't need to mate went straight to feature films yeah went straight to interviewing people about movies. Let's get out of it, Peter. Yes!

We're back on Thursday with presumably with episode 199.52. I reckon we can keep this going until Christmas. I think so. I want to. I'll be disappointed

with us if we didn't. See you next time. Bye! This has been a Stakhanov production.
