How the hell are you guys? This is the Luke and Pete show episode 199.53. We're getting there baby. I hope you guys enjoyed the Luke and Petey Festival over the weekend. Mate, we're doing 199.53. Right. In the same way that my age is 31.84. Right, okay. Are you hurtling towards? 40, yes. 40, right.

But what I'm trying to say, that doesn't actually work as a chat, but what I was going to try to say is that... So you ruined my conceit that we had a Peaky Blinders style festival over the weekend to inform us of how old you are, sort of. But I don't think many people know about the Peaky Blinders festival. Well, let's talk about it. Go for it. Set the scene. Set the scene, Pete. How was it? Peaky Blinders.

Yeah, I've never seen a single episode. No, me neither. Cillian, Cillian Murphy. Tom Jones, isn't it? Tom... Tom Jones, yeah. Tom Bain from Batman, isn't it? Tom Hardy.

Tom Hardy. Yeah. He plays a man. Did you call him Tom Bain? Tom Bain. Yeah. Tom Bains. And he...

They all do crimes together and they all wear clothes from yesterday as you can see they liked the crime and they wear hats because there's peaky blinders i think they got knives in their hats yeah and uh there was a festival over the weekend celebrating like a little kind of like peaky blinders con uh but the difference between like comic-con or all of the american shows for like you know game of thrones and the big episodes, the big series, is it didn't look very good. It looked very underfunded.

It just seemed to be a lot of people selling hats. A lot of men of our age knocking about in waistcoats and pocket chains and those hats that they wear at the Tottenham Hotspur football stadium. The piggy blinders, I guess. The piggies. Yeah, because what you want on a rather warm weekend in Birmingham in Digbeth is to wear woolen suits. The show's creator, Stephen Knight, said, I spoke to a woman who said she'd come from

LA for the day. That is commitment. What are you flying into with that? Yeah. Flying into London. Yeah. Going up to Birmingham. So why have you particularly got a bee in your bonnet about this

people are just having a nice time aren't they I'm just saying that we did a festival over the weekend we had Keith Cooks

doing a live cooking demonstration we did don't say this because people would legitimately think they've missed it Keith Cooks hates

you anyway he does because you undermine him publicly I didn't undermine him publicly I started the show thinking that he would never hear what I said.

So I was a little bit careless with my words. And I upset an old man. Now, look, if that's the worst thing I do on this run. It's not. It's not. It's not even in the top five. No, it's not. But yeah.

So yeah, he's not going to be doing that. In a way, that is the story of a lot of podcasts, isn't it? Don't think anyone's going to hear it. Careless with your words. Stage three, upset an old man. Stage four, get signed to SNL. Then people go, hang on. Didn't you used to upset old men?

Didn't you used to upset old Chinese men? Yeah. Yeah. That's what happened. The man of the weekend, he got signed to, it was a big celebration that they had the first American Chinese member of Saturday Night Live joining the cast and this bloke looks a bit like a thumb

he also is joining and he had some pretty, you know like Americans you know like bad American stand-ups when they just, when they try and I think they're testing the fences, I think they're testing the boundaries of comedy but they're not, they're just being really shite and racist, like it's like that, he's just doing these like, he's just doing

basic Chinese person voices. This guy, the guy who got signed for SNL. So everyone's going, hang on. Yeah. It's cancel culture, mate.

It is cancel culture. Cancel culture. Has he lost his job then? No, he hasn't. He's just apologised saying that he's testing things, testing the boundaries. Can anyone...

But the scene was very much like us recording a podcast except they were in a living room because they were filming each other talking and stuff, in the same way that we do have cameras in the room, so we do have other facilities to do it, but choose not to.

Because when we get in trouble, and they want to play this on the news, they'll have nothing to go by. There's plenty of video footage of you out there, mate, when you get in trouble. How far away do you think the Luke and Pete show is from council culture? Joining SNL. I don't know, I think everyone's in on the joke are we until they're not are we exactly in between exactly as

far away as you can be from saturday night live on that side and council culture here and it's like a little irrelevant bit in the middle yeah exactly yeah definitely we're in the crevice it's not that bad being irrelevant though is it it's not that bad not bad sorry you can walk down the street no one hassles you most of the time. I was talking to the recording artist, Sam Fender. Oh, yeah. I'm pleased you brought this up. Sorry to cut in, but I'm really pleased you brought this up because I'm hearing lots of things about this young gentleman.

Sam Fender. And I'm seeing a lot of posters. Sam Fender. He's a very handsome man. Sam Fender. And he makes music, apparently. I've not heard a single note of it. Should I be out there listening to it?

You know what? It's out of... He's a very authentic voice, I would say. And if you like a bit of Springsteen, he loves Springsteen himself, but he probably wouldn't appreciate the comparison because, obviously, when you compare to Bruce Springsteen,

people are going to go, you're not as good as Bruce Springsteen. A.k.a. the boss. A.k.a. Juicy Brucey. But it's a very... Juicy Brucey. I'm having that. We play a lot of Springsteen people are going to go you're not as good as Bruce Springsteen aka the boss aka juicy Brucey but it's a very juicy Brucey I'm having that we play a lot of

Springsteen absolutely yeah no he's very good and out of all of that kind of music he is an authentic

voice he is an interesting voice and his music's really good his production's excellent what were you going

to say about him you were speaking to him were you he was I was just saying that he was talking about like, you know, pound shop kind of Kardashian kind of characters

who kind of do reality TV and stuff. And I was also saying like, it's interesting, like, if you are like Alan Shearer, I was thinking about this last night, Alan Shearer walking down the road, you've been re-enumerated by the fact that you played in football at a time where you could just make a lot of money so he's on a pretty decent contract

he's probably got a pretty decent country pile full of a basement full of gold coins like a screwdent duck but if you're like except just coins

they're not coins they're little footballs little gold footballs and you wrap them in foil gold foil more gold more gold football

but yeah if you're like a reality TV star and you make you know maybe you leave the Big Brother house or you leave Love Island and you make like

maybe a hundred grand right and that's a considerable amount of money to someone who's never seen that amount of money but then you can't walk down the street for the next ten years

because but you're not remunerated the price of fame sorry the word is remunerated remunerated yeah why was I saying remunerated well I was talking about remunerated it sounds counterintuitive but it's remunerated. The price of film. The word is remunerated. Remunerated. Yeah.

Why was I saying remunerated? I was talking about remunerated. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's remunerated. Remunerated. Remunerated. Yeah, that'll do. It is very early, Luke. Yeah, the problem, Peter. God, I've been saying remunerated a lot.

I've said that in the interview. That goes out on Thursday. Shit. You'd better go and get an edit. You'd better go and remunerated. Yeah, go and remove it. Remunerated. But you're right.

We've talked about this, I think, maybe before. Perhaps it's you and I. Can I just make it very clear that I never correct Luke on any of his words? You don't need to. You do sometimes. We almost certainly talked about it on this show because you and I don't go for pints together, so it won't have been over a pint.

But the... It just makes me sleepy. The fact... Got things on. The fact that they have to take into consideration is that they're probably too famous to get a normal job. They're not famous enough to get any credible, consistent other work.

Yeah. So they have to not debasing themselves by doing all this other different stuff. Yeah, exactly. So I think the price of film, there should be like a kind of social security for reality TV stars well national minimum income

like in Finland that will be high enough to sort of go oh well they've got a problem with taking selfies with people

and chatting to people in the street but they get paid a certain amount of money for it well I don't think people would get behind that Pete

I think you're tone deaf there with the general public I think if you make a decision people really like reality TV stars yeah but if you make a decision

to do that with your own life, then you're going to, don't be surprised if it comes back to bite you. What about people who don't? The bloke, the girlfriend, the bloke who's looking over his shoulder at another girl when he stood next to his girlfriend. Oh, the meme guy. The meme guy. All the meme guys. He would have got paid for that, hadn't he? He would have got paid

about four quid for a session or something. Like, you know, for, you don't license your image do you you just sort of do a shoot and that image gets licensed over and over again

I hope he got it because he probably sees that all the time exactly yeah he made no money out of that meme victims someone's pray

for the meme victims my mate Al is always scared that he's going to become a meme oh yeah he's like just constantly

never take a picture of him it's a very modern fear isn't it I take a picture of him. Like, I think... It's a very modern fear, isn't it? Yeah, I took a picture of him in a flat cap, weirdly, in a Peaky Blinder. Yeah.

And he was very... Don't put that in here. I was like, I'm struggling to see where I would put it that anyone would give a fucking shit about it. Yeah.

You look like Yorda in a hat. You should... Well, that... Yorda in a hat would be a meme. Yeah, that would be a good meme. It's Grimop Tatooine. He lives in Dagobah. What?

Yoda lives in Dagobah. He's lived all over the place. He's a fucking Jedi, mate. He's lived a life. Look at those... Does that face look like it's lived in one place all the time? Pete, what was the one thing we said when we started the show? We will not anger the Star Wars people because we don't know enough about it.

They don't have their own cons. Speaking of memes yeah what about the guy who decided to hire a clown to take a redundancy meeting very enjoyable

have you seen this I have I retweeted it mate there's a picture and everything look at the picture is that actually the clown itself

hang on it's brilliant oh god not time for that for those who don't spend their lives on the internet like us a guy who works them. It's brilliant. Oh, I've got a lot of time for that. For those who don't spend their lives in the internet like

us, a guy who works for a key, a New Zealand advertising agency, I believe, found out he had to go to a redundancy

meeting, which I suppose would have been worrying. He was told he was going to lose his job rather than the kind of,

oh, you might lose your job. And so he hired to a redundancy meeting. so he hired a clown in a proper wig and waistcoat and all that kind of stuff to um to to sit next to him while the meeting happened um it's understood the clown mimed crying when the redundancy when the redundancy paperwork was handed over. Oh, wow.

Yeah. The thing that annoys me is Sorry, the employer in question said they had a policy of not commenting on individual employment matters out of respect

for those involved. Yeah. Apparently it was pretty full on. If he is going to get any redundancy money I fear that it will not be used well.

Apparently he's got a new job already. Hey, well there you go. He's going to be a clown. He's got a new job. He started out, he's thrusted out on his own to do some kind of thing. Lovely, okay. Is that a job nowadays? Apparently so. You're saying you've got a job? Reality TV.

Okay. But yeah, so I thought that was a fantastic way of approaching what could be a truly horrific experience Pete I would like to take you to a redundancy meeting

with me dressed exactly as you are at the moment and then just slowly throughout the thing I'll just wet myself

yeah and have glasses drawn on pen on your face just start blowing off just making a really low kind of

noise you can't see you can't see your mouth move but you go yeah that would be good do do

it spin over and over again and on what I would like to do so that would be your role oh did you go on the it spin tunnel

at the looking pizza con it was brilliant it was just a tunnel an inflatable tunnel and it was like it spin it spin

it spin like over and over again. And you had to, rather than an egg and spoon race, we had, like, egg and long spoon race. Spoon and long egg race. Yes! Got something wrong! That's not even right.

That's all I had in my sound bank. What else did Luke and Pete Conn have going on here? I'm trying to think now. Let's have a look at the Luke and Pete show titles. Did it have us? Did it have on Soundbank. What else did Luke and Pete Con have going on here? I'm trying to think now. Let's have a look at the Luke and Pete show titles. Did it have us? Space News. Did it have an area where you could really fight quite hard against impending serious decisions on adulthood?

Yeah, you could go into a room where you read out unbroadcast Luke and Pete emails where people have complained or just basically said nice things about the show but with a soft hand sort of going Romania's actually quite ashamed

of its past etc so yeah true and maybe it's actually quite a nice email you can read that

I should read that one out you can read that review saying first few episodes were great sadly it quickly went off the boil when the hosts stopped trying is that an actual review? a shame yeah when was that written? episodes were great. Sadly, it quickly went off the boil when the hosts stopped trying. Is that an actual review?

A shame. Yeah. When was that written? Not long ago. Really? Well, yeah, yeah. I mean, stop trying is very much...

Got busy with other things, I think is also a big one as well, guys. Come on. Here's a delightful insight. There is nothing... Well, there is a lot

of things worse, but it's quite basic to just read out reviews of your own show on your own show. But this will be insightful for people. This will give people an entirely new insight to what it's quite basic to just read out reviews of your own show on your own show but this will be insightful for people this will give people a entirely new insight to what it's like doing the job and it is a job that we do right that first email sorry that first review i just read out i

shortened it but it actually also says it's now devolved into here are some emails we've received and not much else yeah a shame okay the. The review, two reviews below it. I used to love this, but the boys have got away from the star of the show, the emails. So literally, you cannot win. I like that. It's no looking page to show Reddit

because the Football Ramble Reddit is abusive. People hate me on that. Don't advertise it because more people will get involved. Oh, it's funny though, isn't it? It's really funny. It's the things they think. What I like about it is when you read something

about a thing that you're involved in and they've got it completely wrong. I don't care whether they like it or not. It's just the things like, well, obviously,

Peter lives in space and he spends moon money. So that's why he needs to do the show because he hasn't been in a Luke Wesson talk spot. And it's just like all this stuff

that they think. Marcus works for the History Channel the thing that blows my mind is that you go someone will say go on the football

ramble reddit so you go on it and it's full of shit and um it's not I like it it's genuinely funny you're only saying that

because you're scared of them but it's not it's not full of shit but there is a lot of shit on it and a lot of it is abusive

like personally and all the rest of it and you just kind of do that deal when you decide to do this and that's fine I'm not going to complain about it but the thing that blows my mind

is that I end up just after about five minutes when they're complaining thinking hang on you started this Reddit like you started this like two and a half thousand people there

it's nothing to do with me like you basically created an entirely new space with which to give me shit. No, I like it. Yeah, I know you like it. I get off scot-free almost. Anyway, let's stop trying and just resort back to reading out some emails. All right, then.

Fabulous muscles. I would enjoy the purple. I think I'll talk about this one here. I would enjoy the purple. I probably have before. I would enjoy the purple I would enjoy the purple I would enjoy the purple Aki meme because it's a funny story of an older man molesting other men if it wasn't incredibly racist

I would have as much of a problem with the horrendous abuse as I would with anything else. He's just touching muscles, isn't he? But I remember I was... Herbulous. I was labouring under the intention for quite a long time that it was because he wore a purple tracksuit.

Well, that's a lovely image. I thought that's what it was. Well, let's reclaim the image of Purple Aki wearing a purple tracksuit then, shall we? Can we think of a meme more obscure than that for people listening? No, you can give him a Google. People have got a glass of me with little signs, don't they?

Have you ever created a meme? People will be surprised to hear if you haven't. No, because memes can't be created. People try, but they fail. I thought there was all those Facebook groups where people pay and then the memes get shared around and all the rest of it. You've got to capture the imagination. The next thing you know, it's Brexit.

Yeah, so if you are a member of the Football Ramble Reddit, thanks very much for your support. And yeah, by all means, pile in. It's nice getting off our nose. What about this email? Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com, of course, is the email address. We are inundated, actually, at the moment. It kind of ebbs and flows.

I think we hit on certain subjects people are really passionate about and then sometimes we veer off because it's kind of an unplanned show that it sometimes sort of dries up but it's certainly flowing rather than ebbing at the moment. And sometimes you don't read enough emails out and then I forget some of them and I feel very guilty and I'm constantly thinking about them in my

private life. I don't think we can guarantee people are going to read their email. I know. That's part of the deal. I? I mean, that's absolutely ridiculous. Otherwise, we'd be well behind. This is an email from Josh who says, Hi guys, just a quick one. This is referenced

Teenage Mutant Hero slash Ninja Turtles from last week. While Krang is depicted as a brain removed from his lizard-like body in the 1987 cartoon, he is in fact based

on a peaceful alien race planet known as the U-Troms from the original source material, aka the comics from 1984. Right. So this is a bit of information around TMNT canon. Well, TMNT, the original comics were the role playing games I used to play when I was a kid. That was

based on those ones. That's why I was an armadillo. That was something quite different that took place in your uncle's shed. One other point I need to make, while Luke is correct that in UK the animated show was known as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles due to the censoring of the word ninja,

which was deemed too violent for children back in the 80s, it is widely recognised that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the official name. I knew that, Josh. I probably just made my point quite badly. Raphael was the best turtle.

No debate needed. Cowabunga dudes. josh and i'll bracket out with this email from stewart he says i've been waiting patiently but no one has corrected you yet to be fair stewart it was only i think it was two shows ago um in an earlier episode you claimed that rafael was the only turtle to have a different color to his normal red in the beginning incorrect it was actually all the turtles that were red so he is the only one to have kept his original colour. Hopefully now I have this off my chest, I'll be able to sleep at night. Thanks, Stuart. He fights Bob Wall in both.

Say again? He fights Bob Wall? In both. What do you mean? It's an office reference to that IT guy. No, I haven't seen him fight Enter the Dragon. I've seen him fight Bob Wall in Way of the Dragon. I've seen him fight Chuck Norris in way of the dragon Can you describe these Ninja Turtles, what they're up to? One of them's eating a bit of pizza

One of them's reading the porno Oh for goodness sake One of them's reading the porno One of them's drinking a bottle of beer Now they're having a lovely time They've all got They've all got willies Big old willies

with um bulbous amounts of pubage now one of them's getting stabbed um they're basically just um four or five men I think these are like outsider sort of New York artists

right uh and they've covered themselves in sort of green bin material uh and made their own really shitty ninja turtles

oh good ninja turtles oh good and now that's happening ninja turtles Peter you can link people to that with a their own really shitty Ninja Turtles. Oh, good. Ninja Turtles. Oh, good. And now that's happening. Peter, you can link people to that with an 18 plus. I don't think anyone, now they're chopping, I think, Leonardo's head off. And there's loads of ragu coming out of his head.

I think it's beautifully put together, personally. So, yeah. Yeah. For more videos like that, come to the Ramble Live. Just search Live Leak Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur yeah. Yeah. For more videos like that, come to the Ramble Live. Just search, Live Leak, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yeah.

Michael Andrews having a lovely old time there. He's just celebrating a man. We should plug ramblelive.com, by the way. Yeah, we should. Where did that come from?

Because I just said, for more of that, come to see us at Ramble Live. Oh, right. Sorry. Yeah.

I thought, because I said Live Leak. Yeah. Which is like a video where you find all the people crashing their planes and shit but yeah and crazy videos

you're not going to see anywhere else baby pretty horrible stuff to be honest it's the new Ogre there's some crazy videos you're not going to see anywhere else

at Football Rumble Live as well exactly so we spend a lot of time doing the videos and stuff and doing little set pieces for Football Rumble Live because you might think that you know Rumble Live because you might think

that Rumble Live is just four blokes sat down guffing on about football. It's fucking not. I wish it was. It would be easier. Yeah, that is true.

I wouldn't feel quite so exhausted by the end of the show. But come and see us. RumbleLive.com We're coming to a town near you and if you like

Northampton. What's the one in the commuter town that I always forget and I always think it's St Albans? Wickham. Wickham. Yeah. Come and see us in Wickers. Yeah.

Come and see us in Bond. And I think if people like this show, they will probably like Football Ramble Live because it's far less football-y than anything we do as a podcast. It's not about football. Yeah, it's far more kind of general interest. And it's got videos it's got multimedia

entertainment so that's ramblelive.com our first show's Thursday 26th of September in Hackney in London we're going all around England

and then we're going to the US for a bit and in the spring we're going to Europe holy moly anyway Peter do you want to do an email yeah I would actually

if that's alright yeah go ahead Eric and Saul hello Eric and Saul his name's not Eric and Saul hello Eric and Saul his name's not Eric and Saul like is it Eric B

and Rakim yeah were they an artist yeah together a duo could you sound more old than that

mind you you have to be quite old to know Eric B and Rakim paid in full and all the rest of it yeah everyone loves Rakim

as an MC well I got shot for mentioning Pokemon so I've learnt shift from the ramble for mentioning Pokemon so I've learnt my lesson hello to for mentioning what? Pokemon oh Pokemon

apparently Ash the main Pokemon kid the lad with the cap he's finally won after like 25 years the Pokemon championship right he never won it before

he never won it before why is that part of the conceit? I think so well it's not like oh we're not going to give it to you. But apparently he's never won that Pokemon tournament. He's finally done it 25 years in.

Have you seen that video where they put that movie out where Pikachu talks for the first time and everyone loses their shit? Detective Pikachu, yeah. No, no, it's not that film. It's like a cartoon one before that. Oh, right, okay. Oh, yes. No, wasn't that a trailer for Detective Pikachu

that people have lost their goddamn minds he certainly spoke in the video game I remember that but he says something other

than Pikachu oh and people in the theatre just lose their minds you hear a guy in the background

just going the fuck it's because he said the n-word it's really why did you choose that word for your second

word Pikachu I didn't listen to anything you choose that word for your second word, P-Cat? Because it's Nathan, yeah. Anyway, do an email. Carry on. Eric and Saul says, Hi, guys. Just wanted to add to Pete's chat about snooping around in Airbnbs. One time, a few years ago, I rented an Airbnb in Montreal with my girlfriend,

and we found magic mushrooms and potentially some more illicit drugs inside a mint tin. So it's always worth a peek. Thank you for that, Eric and Saul. You're going to stay in my Saul. If you're going to go staying in my house. One is, if you're going to rent out your house as an Airbnb,

get rid of your drugs, or at least put them somewhere locked. Get rid of your drugs. Because there might be kids around. Correct. And two,

if you are staying at someone's house as an Airbnb, don't go through their shit. Or is that part of it? I think you can meet in the middle, to be honest.

If you're going to leave drugs out, people are going to have a snoop. You can smell them. And if you're going to be a snoop? Take it in the poop. Is the custom when you stay at someone's Airbnb that they accept that you're going to root around in their shit?

They could be hired. Look, my Airbnb reviews are peerless like completely not a peerless as in the ones people have reviewed you on yes I've never rented out

my place it would be impossible that would be sorry mate don't skip over that because with the greatest of possible respect

that would be depressing why would that be depressing well because you go to London for a nice time and you rent

your place which is like a little box. People go to New York and... Have you been to a hotel in New York under $150 a night? No. That's what I look like. I'm just saying. So you're saying that people would go... I'm going to say this is going to sound really offensive

and I hope you don't take it that way. It's not my house. I don't own it. I don't give a shit. Yeah, I'm saying people will be disappointed if they Airbnb somewhere and it turns up and it's your place. Hang on.

So a central London flat. Scaffolding. What? Scaffolding outside. Not yet. Oh, really? Not yet, baby. Not yet, baby.

It's their funeral. They want to see what they want to see. They turn up. They're presented with some of the following things. Right? Right. A gaming chair. Probably not been wiped very comfortable why would it need to be wiped down i'm not in a nuddy mind you on a hot day uh if i'm topless i will have to put a towel off the back of it so i don't like this this is what i'm talking about leather on my skin they're gonna open the freezer

it's not leather it's pleather they're gonna open the freezer they're gonna see one calippo and a bottle of campari or something right okay They're going to open the freezer and they're going to see one calippo and a bottle of Campari or something. Right, okay, no. If they opened it today, they would see no calippo and a bottle of Campari. Okay, sorry. I happen to think just having nothing in your freezer apart from a bottle of Campari is a pretty

good look. And if I was 18 and I looked forward to my life, I'd say wow Pete, you're putting a bit of weight and also what's that's cool that's right I'll tell you what

if I saw you walking down the street dressed in that shirt yeah calippo in one hand bottle of campari in the other I'd think you were a

pretty cool customer that guy's off to a party yeah and if they open the fridge they're going to see a bottle of ketchup yeah probably a bottle of

sriracha sauce and that're going to see a bottle of ketchup probably a bottle of sriracha sauce and that's going to be it yeah medicine probably medicine yeah stockpiling ahead of Brexit

yeah I am actually doing that but they could play some sweet video games couldn't they so many choices you've got my little tiny wee laptop here

you've got a bigger laptop a Stakhanov company laptop as much thermal paste as you can use and as much thermal paste as you can jam into your nostrils how much are you charging for Airbnb for your place

I'd get a pretty decent price because I know how much things cost there's a bit of room there there's facilities for cooking if you get old shit out of the oven keepers are covered yeah

keepers are covered yeah it's all there mate fair enough I think I get a pretty penny it is against my rental agreement

I understand that we won't tell anyone about that your Airbnb reviews are top quality are they top drop mate every last one everybody fucking loves me

we'll go through them next week somebody speaking of running a house there's a guy in Japan Luke lovely chap has got he's got a sign

in his lift I think it's some kind of maybe residence union or something Luke, lovely chap, has got a sign in his lift. I think it's some kind of maybe residence union or something. They're complaining about the people who own the building. But that's what the sign says. Make gentrify, total destroy, rent is a fuck, 410 trillion dead landlords. Wow, that is some kind of code. I like it. Not for code. I like it.

Not for me, I like it. It's like the code they pick up in the third season of Stranger Things when they're listening to the radio and it's all in Russian. I think that's the sign

for fire. Lovely. What are they trying to do with that? I don't know. I don't think they're enjoying their interactions with their landlord,

possibly. Maybe not. What about this email from Dan Goldberg? Hi guys, all your talk of Jeremy Renner reminded me of the story that broke last week.

Jeremy has shut down his Jeremy Renner app due to excessive amounts of trolls pretending to be him. I especially like this quote from the man himself. What was supposed to be

a place for fans to connect with each other has turned into a place that is everything I detest and can't or won't condone. Poor guy. Yeah, it was it wasn't it was broken. The actual

was kind of just there all the time. It was a nobody was trolling him or impersonating him. The way that the app presented the discussions on the little groups that are inside the Jeremy Renner app, it always sounded like it was coming from Jeremy Renner. So it looks a bit mad.

So it looks like... So this is the problem of the development of the app then? Yeah, yeah. The app was just one of those very... It was a very generic fan app that a load of stars have. It was endorsed by Jeremy. Yeah, it was, yeah.

So Jeremy Renner presumably had a little bit of skin in the game. It's a little place for Jeremy Renner apps to enjoy themselves bit of skin in the game. It's a little place for Jeremy Renner apps to enjoy themselves. This is one of the shots. It's Jeremy Renner. Jeremy with a pair of bins?

A pair of bins. A pair of binoc-nocs. And yeah, so there's all these people who are massive fans of Jeremy Renner. Have a rockin' weekend, everyone. What's the plan?

It just looks like Instagram. It's like Instagram, but it's Jeremy Renner. And a guy called Stefan, who I think is a post for Deadspin. I think it's a sports site, isn't it? That's one of those gawker-y kind of sites from back in the day. I will be looking at porn on my computer.

And that's what he replied. And so people started piling in going, nasty, not cool. But every time somebody would reply to this chap about his porno post, it would come up like Jeremy Renner said it. So it would be a little picture of Jeremy Renner it said Jeremy Renner basically got nasty

not cool as if Jeremy Renner had said it got involved himself and there was a big hoo-ha and he absolutely tanked it

like Jeremy Renner got involved in his own reddit page and started piling in on everyone and then we should do that and then so

Jeremy Renner porno truth site account started setting up on the Jeremy Renner Porn or Truth site's account started setting up on the Jeremy Renner sort of app

and started creating all kinds of problems. I find Jeremy Renner an entirely confusing gentleman. He's unlikable in everything he does.

I find you quite dislikable. He is quite unlikable but weirdly he looks like do you remember the podcast you did The Winds Are Not with Josh Grebels and Oh he does look like him but weirdly he looks like do you remember the podcast you did

the wins or not with Josh Grebels and oh he does look like him he looks like Daniel Krupa yeah he does a bit but I like Daniel Krupa so I'm kind of torn

a little bit don't stop when I'm in the middle of drinking some water that's page one stuff you started drinking and then I started drinking a bit of coffee

yeah I find I find that I might have mentioned this on one or two outlets before, that when you see like a big ensemble cast in a big Hollywood movie, he feels a bit like a charisma vacuum.

I don't really know what he's for, because he's not like a strong man or a hard man. He's not a particularly sort of engaging actor. No. He's not got that star quality you'd associate with someone like The Rock or whatever, you know. So, because there's a big difference between,

I think, a movie star and an actor. Yeah. Like, some people are amazing actors, but they're not stars, are they? Like,

someone like Daniel Day-Lewis, he's a star to an extent because he's such a good actor and because of the narrative around him. Someone like Tom Cruise is just a straight star, isn't he?

And some of them, I guess, straddle both. Renner's neither of those things. And I've just disturbingly read in that article that Dan Goldberg linked us to that he's also an aspiring singer. That's not going to go well.

Yeah, he's got an album. That's not going to go well. It never goes well. Bruce Willis. It's going to be really basic, sort of bluesy, sort of... I'm trying to think of, like, bad... There's Bruce Willis. Who did Gladiator?

Russell Crowe. He's got a band. Who's got a little Keeper Sutherland's involved Keeper Sutherland yeah and they're all sort of quite middle of the road rock band

kind of Bruce Springsteen kind of jobs aren't they yeah it's going to be like latter day Bob Dylan but with better singing probably

no one wants to hear that let's get out of it Pete we've got to go we've got things to do today thanks very much for joining us we will see you again on Thursday for episode 199.54. I didn't think Pete's admin could get any more complicated, but it has.

See you then. Have a great week. This has been a Stakhanov production.
