it's thursday what have you achieved this week you pricks it's the luke and pete show with pete
and luke doing our thing uh not reading out emails sometimes reading out emails either way
we're upsetting people on forums yes yes how you doing baby i think if i'm very well if i
set out in my professional life to annoy as much people as possible it's going pretty well the
words are many so it's going pretty well um do you remember on monday we were talking about meme
victims yes okay and people who are terrified of being a meme victim as in your mate al people
who've perhaps been victims of a meme what i think we should do is ask them to email.
If you've ever been subject of a meme,
Yeah, caught in a meme.
hello at lukeandpeacher.com
Include your meme.
Caught in a meme.
Yeah, and see how it goes.
It's not like a dream.
How would you deal with it?
I'm lost in memes-ic.
What?
How would you deal with it if you were a meme?
I would try and monetize it as soon as possible.
I'd sign up with a really bad agency that doesn't really have a handle on what a meme is.
But you're not going to have rights to it, are you?
What do you mean?
You know exactly what I mean, Pete Donson.
What do you mean?
You're not going to have rights to the actual image or anything.
No, but I'd go on Oprah and go,
Hi, I'm the man we're not...
You know they get on Oprah?
You know they get a booking on Oprah, mate,
because you've got memes?
Do you think she is?
All right, Ellen, then.
Ellen always has the meme people.
I think you're struggling for Ellen.
They come on and they do their thing and then they fuck off.
They jump out of a box. I think you might get a five minute
slot on Good Morning Britain with Piers.
You reckon? Yeah. You're not fucking
getting Oprah because you've been memed.
She's the first female
billionaire or whatever it is. She didn't make her
money by going after you.
People love meme people.
That's what the whole thing they're like if we get
the meme person on they've got at least 20 000 followers on twitter they'll start tweeting about
ellen and the snake will eat the snake's butt bot and we all win we all ride the coattails to hell
north america's first black multi-billionaire is not having you on. A meme! All right, listen. Impossible!
It said.
Here's one for you.
What?
All your bases are belong to us.
Yeah.
Here's one for you.
corporate is a meme.
So what kind of,
say, let's do an example meme that you got caught in
and then we'll work out
what your plan is
to make the most of it.
It would be like
Super Walkman or something.
You know the thing
that you point at me
and go,
prick.
Right, it'd be like that.
I genuinely don't know
how you get through the day.
I'd be like, I genuinely don't know how you get through the day I'd be like
I'd be
talking about being
vegan
even though I'm not
and
that's it
I'm a super woke man
no but I'm not
I'm not trying to put you
specifically into
one that suits you
I think
I do think you are
you know
have that issue
but
but
so say for example
here's the one
you just don't care
you just don't care,
you just don't care what side of history you're on.
Black,
I've got the heart
as black as it comes, mate.
I've got a heart of stone.
Right.
You are caught in a picture
exactly like
when former Labour
Prime Minister,
Prime Ministerial candidate
Ed Miliband
was caught eating
that bacon sandwich
with that face.
But it's your face
and it's gone all around
the internet.
What's your plan?
Monetise.
I go on,
I make appearances.
Stop just saying monetise.
I make an appearance
at like a festival,
like on Blackheath Festival.
They've got a lovely
John Lewis little stand.
What are you doing up there?
I'll be there
half eating
whatever I'm eating.
Do you want me
in your restaurant
eating whatever
you are selling? Give me 50 quid. in your front row window of your restaurant eating whatever you are selling
give me 50 quid
I'll be there
half eating your dinners
I've got two problems with that
what
one 50 quid
that's not even covering
your expenses
to get there
that's why you're not
on me major
at two
at two
John Lewis aren't going to
want you to advertise
their bacon
why
because you're pulling
that face
they want you nowhere
near it
no I'm
it looks like
Ed Miliband looks like he was enjoying the idea of eating a bacon sandwich.
He was jizzing in his pants.
So that is a face of someone genuinely not giving a shit what their face is doing because
they're enjoying a bacon sandwich.
A bacon sandwich kind of like a palsy comes over his face because he's just so into the
food.
Yeah.
But then you're going to offend vegetarians and that's not going to be woke enough for
you.
But he did it. It's true. I'm not going to be eating that. then you're going to offend vegetarians and that's not going to be woke enough for you because of vegetarians.
But he did it.
It's true. I'm not going to be eating that.
So you're leaning into it.
You're not going to try
and take a step back.
I'm eating cardboard.
You're not going to take
a step back and say
this is all going to blow over.
People will forget about this
and I can have a normal life
again in a year or two's time.
Monetize, baby.
So first of all,
you're going on to...
I want a deposit for a house.
I want to get it on my box.
Okay.
Well, you're saying monetize.
You're saying deposits for a house. You are to get it on my box. Okay. Well, you're saying monetize. You're saying deposits for a house.
You are currently £50 up.
Yeah.
On the deal.
That's gross, by the way,
because you haven't covered your expenses.
What are you doing next to monetize your meme?
The screech model from Serve of the Bell.
You're making a porno.
Make a porno and stab a man.
For goodness sake.
This is what I'm saying.
People who get backed into corners around memes,
there's nowhere to turn.
Hello at LukeandPetra.com to get in touch
if you've been in a meme
or you have a strategy to deal with
if you were ever memed.
Open a refuge for memesters.
That's a good idea.
To look after them.
That's a brilliant idea.
Exactly.
It'd be like a sideshow, wouldn't it?
It'd be like a Victorian sideshow.
Yeah, exactly.
So there'd be questionable morals around that.
Roll up, roll... up no that's not how
a refuge works
come and look at
our women
you might as well
monetise it
what
you might as well
monetise it
if you ran a
women's refuge
you'd monetise it
a women's refuge
is pretty different
to a meme refuge
well
in that one of them
doesn't exist
yes but I mean
it's a refuge for people
who are trying to get
away from being
memesters
I'm saying why not
put
glass windows
perspex windows,
get people to walk past,
there's the guy
who gets caught
looking at Sonic Hells.
Yeah.
The attractive runner.
Yeah.
The little baby gone.
Yeah, thumbs up.
Charlie bit my finger.
Yeah,
they could all be in there.
Yeah.
Woman pooing in Walmart.
You know,
all of the people who...
Little monkey in the Ikea
with the jacket on.
Yes!
I wonder how old that monkey is now.
But Pete, very, very finally on this.
You know when you go to a museum
and most of it's free
but you get the bit you have to pay for?
Which premium memers would be in the bit you have to pay for?
Yeah, they'd be the big boys, yeah.
I'm trying to think now.
I can't think of many.
Because a lot of the memes are like famous people.
Like people from Star Wars.
I found your lack of faith.
Oh, Admiral Ackbar.
Admiral Ackbar would be in there, wouldn't he?
What's the one?
It's a trap, that bloke.
Is that Admiral Ackbar?
He'd be in there, yeah.
He'd be the king meme.
And what about the kid who falls off the log, the Spanish kid?
That is a meme only you have ever shown me.
I'm playing it now.
His noise is brilliant.
Two kids walking on logs across a river, one pulls the log away and the little fat fella
falls in the river and makes this noise.
Ya wey.
Ya wey.
I think it's Spanish.
No pasa nada.
No wey.
Está sucio, está sucio.
Here we go.
Ya wey.
Ya wey.
Pinch de penejo wey, ya.
Here we go.
Pinch de penejo wey, ya. Ya wey. Ya wey. Here we go.
Here we go.
He's rotting the log.
A little fat fellow's about to fall in.
There we go.
Dad's filming it.
He doesn't care.
That sounds fucking horrific.
No, he's soaking wet and crying.
That's like a scene from Succession.
He would be in the ground floor of the meme refuge.
And he'd be wearing a dress that is neither blue nor gold.
Would you be like the host, where you'd dress like a circus ringmaster?
Yeah.
And you would say, when you're about to let people through the mean refuge
you would eat your
bacon sandwich
and say now
let the game commence
I'd have a big moustache
and a top hat
and a powdered wig
and at the end of the day
I'd take off
I'd have a little dressing room
with all the lights
around the mirror
and I'd take my hat off
and I'd take my wig off
and I'd go
this is all getting too much
at the end of the day
and if you had like
three or four tours a day
you'd have to eat
a bacon sandwich
every time.
It's a lot of bacon sandwiches.
Anyway.
Anyway.
Oh mate,
Rick Astley,
shut the fuck up mate.
Shut the fuck up mate.
Rick Astley be in there.
Oh if you wouldn't
fucking give it up mate.
Rick Astley be in there.
I like it when Rick Astley
does his little nonsense
with the Foo Fighters
which I've met him
a couple of times.
He's a nice bloke.
He works in my building
but he,
his,
Rick Astley. Rick Astley works in your building? but he, uh, his, his Rick Astley.
Rick Astley works in your building?
Yeah,
he does a show for Magic,
I think.
Uh,
lovely chap,
but,
um,
his,
his shtick with the Foo Fighters is getting slightly old.
He's done about seven times now.
Do,
do,
do you think at some point,
like,
he'll be singing everlong,
and he'll be going,
fucking come on then!
You don't,
if you're going to a Foo Fighters show,
I don't want to hear this fucking accent.
Yeah.
Fucking,
I'm having the time of my life.
Tell people what...
Never going to give you up.
Tell people what actually happens
at a Foo Fighters gig these days with Rick Astley.
I don't know.
Oh, sorry.
Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl's quite good friends with,
I think they met at Fuji Rocks Festival.
It happened probably about this time last year.
They saw Rick Astley backstage.
They knew the chords because they're musicians
and learning chords is not really a thing that
really concerns a musician. Takes five minutes.
They know how to
play Never Gonna Give You Up, so they dragged
Rick Astley out at Fuji Rocks
in Tokyo, in Japan
to do
Never Gonna Give You Up. But does Rick Astley cross over
to a Japanese audience? Well, he's a meme, isn't he?
He's a global star because of that.
So every time they played on a festival bill together,
inexplicably,
which they would do
So they basically start Everlong
and they Rick Roll people.
Everlong, I can't remember.
Like, they sometimes do Rick Roll
or sometimes get him up
to sing, like,
My Hero or something.
They'll get him up
to do a couple of songs.
But in the middle of, like,
in the middle of singing,
he'll sort of go,
fucking come on then!
Really?
Come on then, everyone!
It's not how you're
expecting to speak, is it?
No. Never gonna give you up! That's not how you're expecting to speak is it no
never gonna give you up
that's not bad actually
it is mate
a lot of people
have pointed out
in the past
that Foo Fighters
always get
things going on
people up on stage
a friend of mine
I used to work with
a guy called Oli
nice chap
he got called up
on stage
they basically
Dave Grohl
said we're gonna
play this song anyone here can play it on guitar and my mate Oli put his hand up and he pulled it up on stage they basically Dave Grohl said we're going to play this song
anyone here
can play it on guitar
and my mate Ollie
put his hand up
and he pulled it up
on stage
and he played it
with him
and they do
quite a bit
of that don't they
they do that
Green Day do that
quite a lot
a lot of bands do
it's quite a
oh my god
I can't believe
this is happening
kind of moment
but then you see it
on YouTube
every five minutes
I remember Pearl Jam
doing it once
and they did it on stage and played like. I remember Pearl Jam doing it once,
and they did it on stage and played,
like this guy just played,
quite complex kind of guitar licks.
He played the whole thing and they went... Did people call them licks?
I don't know, fucking...
Fucking God knows.
I just don't care anymore.
Yeah.
And being told that I'm out of date by you is fucking rich.
Tell us about the licks.
Tell us about the fat riffs Pearl Jam got a bloke up
and he played
the song perfectly
and he went
you've all been
fucked over
I know this guy
it's like
he's a guitar tech
oh really
yeah I can play it
is that how
Eddie Vedder speaks
as well
hey it's
Eddie Vedder
here
and um
yeah
Eddie Vedder used to
work in a petrol station.
Imagine that.
Would you like some chocolate
with your guardian?
I don't think.
Don't they give out chocolate?
I think it's with the time.
That's the WH Smith.
Which pump do you have?
In a lot of parts of the US,
of course.
You need windscreen wiper fluid.
In a lot of parts of the US,
they have to pump the gas for you.
You don't have to pump it yourself.
Why?
I don't know, really.
You're so protective over the oil.
Who was the president
who was very big into over-employment?
It was one of them.
Right.
In the 50s, I want to say.
Right.
Post-war, they were like...
I think it's under the New Deal.
I think that's Roosevelt.
I think so, yeah.
Roosevelt, yeah.
Teddy!
Why?
Oh, Teddy! Why? I'm just saying that's Roosevelt. I think so, yeah. Roosevelt, yeah. Teddy! Why? Oh, Teddy!
Why?
I'm just saying that's probably why they've got gas attendants
rather than having to pump it yourself,
because you could just do it yourself.
Okay, fair enough.
Mind you, none of the people out in the sticks,
they're probably huffing it.
Teddy Roosevelt is a different Roosevelt to FDR, though, by the way.
That's a different Roosevelt, mate.
I can't give a shit, mate.
No, no, you can.
I feel like I have to correct you because I was going to get a million emails.
All right, okay.
We won't. We'll get about ten. We no, you can. I feel like I have to correct you because we'll get a million emails. We won't.
We'll get about ten.
We'll get one.
Can I slash a sacred cow?
Is that what you did
to a sacred cow?
I'm not sure.
What a horrible image.
Like at the end of...
Actually, I won't say that
because it's a spoiler.
Even though the film
came out in the 70s.
Peter.
Apocalypse Now?
Yeah.
You've just done it.
I like Dave Grohl.
Hang on.
Nobody is waiting.
Nobody who has not
seen Apocalypse Now. Bearing in mind, I've. Nobody is waiting. Nobody who has not seen Podcast Now,
bearing in mind I've never
seen that film until,
I'd not seen that film
until last year.
Right.
I don't need to know
that a cow,
I can't remember a cow dying
to be honest.
It was an actual cow
that was killed,
wasn't it?
It's quite an iconic scene
because when he finally
goes to kill Colonel Kurtz,
when he's about to kill him,
it cuts to a cow
being sacrificed ritually.
And that's the... Very heavy handed imagery. That's the metaphor. Well, the kill him, it cuts to a cow being sacrificed ritually. And that's the...
Very heavy-handed imagery.
That's the metaphor.
Well, the thing is,
it works.
It works in the film.
But anyway...
And then Edmund and Amanda's
eating a big meatball sub.
Well, you know that Marlon Brando
turned up for that movie so fat
that they couldn't say...
They were like,
we cannot possibly
get this to the audience
that you are a colonel in the army
because you are 50 stone.
They put loads of really black clothes on him.
They only shot him from the neck up in the end.
Anyway, I like Dave Grohl.
I'm a fan of his.
I like a lot of his music.
He seems like a lovely chap.
But is he too nice?
When does it get to the point
where it's a bit annoying?
No, I think he's more hard-nosed than you think.
Right.
No, I think he's always been...
He was one of the first people to sort of realise
that your public image is quite important
and you don't have to be a fucking dickhead.
You don't have to be an enigma.
Yeah.
He's always very sort of...
But then I think people will take advantage of your time a little bit.
Yeah, I think you could probably be hard-nosed
and say, look, I'm not doing that.
But you're still be a nice person
I sort of fear
with recording artists
like
George Ezra
for example
a man who
is selling out arenas
all over the world
he
he's very nice
and I just worry that
is he too nice
to make music
do you want to hear
from those people
isn't Lewis Capaldi
supposed to be like that as well
yeah he's like a real jipster
he's a pretty good one as well
yeah he's really you know when you sort of see kids who be like that as well yeah he's like a real jipster he's a pretty good one as well yeah he's really
you know when you
sort of see kids
who are like
that kid's probably
like 22 or something
yeah
and he's fucking
a charisma bomb
and fucking funny
and you're like
well look
you're sort of
opposite him mate
like he is
fucking hilarious
and I really
enjoy his work
but
and then he does
these amazing beautiful ballads
that he's written.
I can't sort of tally the two, really.
Are you saying there's trickery afoot?
No, I'm not saying there's trickery afoot.
I'm just saying it's really,
I think it's really difficult to maintain
both sides of the coin.
Because people want to hear an emotional, tortured artist.
Or they say they do, rather than a jibster.
They're listening to one now, aren't they?
I know, right?
Would you say you're
emotionally tortured?
No.
I do the emotional torture.
I am the one that cooks.
You're the torturer,
not the torturerine.
Yeah, exactly.
Pete, there's a story
I found in the papers
this week,
which I thought
would be up your street.
Ex-Google worker
fears killer robots could cause mass atrocities.
Engineer who quit over military drone project warns AI might also accidentally start a war.
Laura Nolan, who resigned from Google last year in protest of being sent to work on a project
to dramatically enhance US military drone technology,
has called for all AI killing machines not operated by humans to be banned.
Yeah, I mean...
What do you think about that? A, good luck with that one because they
will be doing whatever the fuck they want.
And B,
yeah, I don't think AI should really
be involved in the ending of people's
lives. No. It's not ideal, is it?
I thought you'd be all for the
technology, though. I'm all for the technology.
What should it do instead?
I don't know, deliver flowers.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Deliver little flowers.
No, it's difficult, isn't it?
You shouldn't have AI involved in that.
There needs to be a line drawn.
But I think the people, the lawmakers who got their hand on the tiller,
the people who can stop this sort of thing,
are not very technically minded.
So therefore, we have a generation of venture capitalists
and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs
doing whatever the fuck they want.
Because people who are in politics
and, like you say, make laws are older generally.
So they're not as literate in the technology.
Yeah.
But surely that's always been the case.
I think the technological age,
certainly computers and stuff has moved so
quickly i don't think anyone's right i don't think anyone if you went to most cabinet ministers
and you asked what um i don't know what what uh what's crypto what is crypto what is artificial
intelligence what are all of these sort of big ticket sort of things that everyone's talking
about um no one would have a fucking clue what they what they are they they've got their ipad and they've got their
mobile phone uh and and they they conduct most of their business but face to face i would say
what's the outcome going to be death death why destruction spread of death it's all right we're
in england and we are rich relatively before we all die, let's take a break and do some
emails afterwards. Oh, before we go there,
do you know there's this kit that you can add
to a Boeing 707, like a big plane,
that allows you to land
on gravel? I was obsessed with this
yesterday. It's like a little
shoe. So, say
you land on a landing strip
that's not paved, or not
tarmac'd. Why would you do that? Say again? Why would you do that's not paved or not tarmacked.
Why would you do that?
Say again?
Why would you do that?
Well, because some places like Alaska don't have tarmacked things.
They just can't do it.
Right.
Maybe the tarmac doesn't settle.
It's too cold.
I don't fucking know.
Right. But either way, sometimes you've got to land on stuff.
It's like landing on a beach, isn't it?
It's like you need a situation.
Planes should not be landed on beaches.
Planes land on beaches all the time.
Well, little ones.
Yeah, not massive
747s
but there are bigger
planes that have to
land on gravel
for whatever reason
cargo planes
stuff like that
and some kind of
you know
passenger planes
that have to go to
weird places in Alaska
and stuff
but they've got to
land on gravel
and just rocks and stuff
so the front wheel
has this adorable
little shoe on it
and also
out of each engine,
there's a little pipe that sprays air
to make a vortex to move the gravel away from the actual engines
so the gravel doesn't go on the engines and fuck it up.
That's fucking cool.
It is cool.
Honestly, look for a gravel Boeing 747 or whatever kit.
You'd say it wasn't a 747.
What?
You'd say it wasn't a 747. What?
You'd say it wasn't a 747 because the big ones can't land on it.
No, the big ones can't land if they're fitted with this.
Oh, right.
Right, so it's amazing.
What are they called?
They must be called... Little gravel shoes.
Little gravel shoes.
All right, have a break.
Come back and we'll put our little gravel shoes on.
So the first step is to find the right position for you.
Put your hands down and lower your chest to the ground.
Just do that and pretend that you're holding poop in.
And it should sound a lot like this.
He's making his own vortex there to keep gravel out of his bum.
I'm really pleased for him that at the end of that, the pump sound is very good.
It's very shrill.
Yeah, but if it was just like a little
air biscuit
it'd be a real letdown
wouldn't it
it's more
the pump is just
not the point of the thing
it's the eating
it's the eating
and the crisp
gets me every time
have you ever asked
your Alexa
or your Google Home
to your little
have you got one of
those little things
at home
little ice hockey pucks
that tell us what
the weather's going to be like
no because I'm worried
they're going to
bring a drone down
against me
yeah you've got
you have got a laptop
with a little bit of tape
over your camera
because you saw
a Silicon Valley
entrepreneur do it
I don't want to be
looked at
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
dirty den
do you know why
I'm doing it
dirty Ronaldini
because people should
pay to have to watch me
like they will be doing
at Football Ramble Live
Pete
anyway carry on
ramblelive.com
come and see us
it's basically
the Luke and Pete show
two other twats
yeah
and that's what
we're going to be
what were you going to say
what were you going to say
I can't remember now
what was I going to say
no it doesn't matter
oh yeah
you asked at the far
you can go Google ok ok Google I'm just going to say? No, it doesn't matter. Bollocks. Oh, yeah, you actually fart.
You can go Google.
Okay, Google.
I'm just going to set people's Okay, Google's off, innit?
Okay, Google.
Fart.
And they go,
Okay, this is a wet one.
Well, actually, do they?
Honestly.
What about Alexa?
Does Alexa do that?
Alexa does it well.
It's very unseemly.
It is endlessly humorous.
Right.
International language of farts.

and ailments chat
my cat Kisia
she's Polish and her name literally just means cat injuries and ailments chat. My cat, Kisia, she's Polish,
and her name literally just means cat.
I hope I've pronounced that right.
I probably haven't.
Was vomiting a few months ago,
so we took her to the vet.
The vet gave her an anti-sickness injection,
some anti-hairball paste.
Sounds like thermal paste.
And then said something in Polish I didn't quite catch.
However, both the vet and my fiance turned and looked at me.
I was confused, but it turns out she'd asked
if we had any experience in collecting a urine sample
from a cat before.
Safe to say we hadn't, so the vet gave us some tips
and off we went with a little pot and pipette
to collect the poor little cat's piss.
It was Friday evening.
A piss pipette?
Yeah, it was Friday evening.
Pool shapes!
Cool.
Yeah, who are they?
The pipettes.
Oh, the pipettes, the pipettes that's right
yeah
do you know the guy
who was
Jolene the ding dong dong
yeah Jolene
was the drummer
isn't he now an actor
you see him every now and again
on some sitcoms
yeah
anyway
his biggest claim to fame
this week
is being included
in an email
about a man
collecting his cat's piss
it was Friday evening
and I'd already arranged
to meet a mate for a few drinks,
but didn't want to leave my cat alone,
because then I'd missed the opportunity to suck up her urine.
So fast forward a couple of hours,
and me, my fiance, and my mate are sat having a couple of beers,
waiting for the cat to piss in their empty litter tray.
Obviously, cat litter is absorbent, so it can't be in there.
In classic cat style,
she waited till 11 the next morning to relieve herself. I
congratulated her, delivered the pot to the
vet, and can thankfully say that she's alright
now. Not a typical Friday night,
but we had a laugh about it. Keep up the good work,
Kieran. Just running around
after your cat, trying to collect her piss.
I wouldn't be able to do that, because my cats wouldn't know
what to do. They'd go to the outside. Well, because cats
like, because animals just, they
dogs certainly, when they do a pop-pop or do a wee-wee, they don't like to be watched, do they? They go to it outside well because cats like because animals just they dogs certainly
when they do a pop pop or do a wee wee they sort of they don't like to be watched do they they look
really weird when they look like they look at you like really what you're looking at me before you
fucking deviant yeah yeah yeah i always sort of think if you i like petting dogs but sometimes
i'll sort of go oh what's its name um what's, uh, they'll, cause I don't want to go,
cause you know,
it's a boy.
What's his name?
What's her name?
Yeah.
And I'm fairly certain there aren't any,
you know,
it's not 2019 in the dog world.
Are you so woke that you're worried about gender pronouns?
No,
I just,
I just don't want to look at the fucking dog's Willie and go,
cause yeah,
like I'll sort of go,
Oh,
what's his name?
Big pair of balls hanging out the back.
And then, and then and then the owner will go
sorry were you just
looking at my dog's
cock
winky
yeah
has that ever happened
no but I'm constantly
in fear of it happening
what do you do then
what's your tactic
what
I go oh you give me
that dog
I want to give it
a big hug
what's your tactic
what do you mean
I say oh what's
his name
what's his name what do you do with a baby if you see? Oh, what's his name? What's his name?
What do you
do with a
baby?
Have you
seen a
newborn baby?
What's his
name?
Dressed in
neutral colours.
Neutral
colours.
What do
you do?
What do
you do?
What do
you mean?
What's his
name?
There's very
few people,
there's very
few times I'd
go up to a
person with a
baby and go,
what's their
name?
What's their
name?
Okay, I'll give you a scenario
which is not ridiculous
alright
you see someone
that you haven't seen
for 10 years
you used to work with them
they're friends with you
but you lost touch
they've got a baby
and the baby is dressed
in neutral colours
they say
oh hello Pete
it's really nice to see you
how are you doing
right
and then look at their own baby
what do you do
what the fuck is going on there
dinkle off, Adge.
Surely you just say,
oh, what's the baby's,
what's her name?
What's this little thing?
What's his name?
What's this little bundle of joy?
Yeah, what's the baby's name?
Yeah, but what if the name
is kind of neutral?
Oh, yeah, so they say it.
Taylor.
Taylor.
Well, it's because
it's got a job
did you see that
piece in the AP
where it was like
about Sam Smith
deciding that
his pronoun
is there
I've done it myself
fucking hell
their pronoun
their pronoun is there
and the AP
right through
all the way through
the fucking piece
it was his
he has decided that
and he has said that
and his opinion is that
and it's like
yeah you've kind of
you've kind of
do you reckon they were
taking the piss
or just banging out
coffee quickly
that would be
that would be unnecessary
yeah
that would be unwelcome
I believe
it would
so Pete
what's your tactic
going to be going forward
when you see a dog
why do you need to care
if it's a boy or a girl
what
why do you need to care
if it's a male or female dog?
That's a good point, yeah.
That's a good point.
Just stroke it and say, what a lovely dog.
What a lovely dog.
Yeah, but you don't say, what a lovely human when you say a baby, do you?
No, because it's different, isn't it?
It's different, isn't it?
Some babies look really pretty and cute and some babies look like...
It doesn't matter.
You're not going to mention how attractive the baby is.
No, I'm just saying.
Fit!
Some of them are like old men or frogs, don't they?
Old men and frogs.
They do, yeah.
Joined together.
I like to think
of the fucking neonatal ward.
Neonatal ward.
That's the two sections.
Oh, you're unique
on the frog ward.
Let's do another email
real quick.
Do you want to do one
or do you want me to do one?
You do one
because I opened one
that was about...
That's alright.
Joe.
Hello, local beats.
I prefer you withhold my surname.
And I did.
I did it, Joe.
Yes.
He's not called Joe, yes, is he?
I am circumcised, but my son isn't.
My wife and I felt it was a pretty invasive procedure for his child
for not obvious benefit.
In regards to being traumatised, once he notices his is different to mine,
he's eight years old now, but from an early age,
he is regularly seeing me naked, coming out of the changed for swimming etc i can't remember all the year it
was but at some point he just asked me why his was different to mine yeah and i explained and
that was the end of it and i enjoy that use of the word end of it this is an email that is partly
um fueled by you a week or two ago saying the only time you saw your dad
your dad,
your dad's appendage, is when he was sat on the toilet.
Having a fag.
Having a fag.
Doing a shit.
Taking a dump.
Yeah.
And you didn't receive any sex education at all from your parents.
That's all I needed.
Dad's like fags on the toilet.
Reading a newspaper and having a shit.
And mum's not around.
That's a lot.
Because I've heard that cigarettes make you poo,
don't they?
Right.
In the morning.
I know coffee does,
doesn't it?
Yeah, coffee, cigarettes.
Right.
It's getting ready for the day.
Right.
Doing a poo first thing in the morning
is just too much action.
You don't want to disturb
your equilibrium.
Well, you sort of wake up
and you're like,
right, okay,
I'm just easing myself
in the day.
I don't need,
oi, Pete,
it's action stations, mate. What time? What have I been myself in the day. I don't need... Oi, Pete. It's action stations, mate.
What time...
What have I been doing in the night that has meant that that's happening?
These days, are you regular then?
So you...
Yes, yes, I'm regular.
But is it the same time every day?
It's usually when I...
If I do this, I'll do something.
Even if I go to the shops to get something,
when I come back, as I'm just getting in the house
my body goes
Peter
it's time
right
and it's really interesting
like my body goes
Peter
you're about to come home
yeah
and it's
oh it's so pleasurable
but don't you feel like
because you keep quite weird hours
it can affect your digestive system
yeah
because you probably eat meals
at weird times and everything
I do
I eat much later
than a lot of people
and the circadian rhythm
probably doesn't like it
it was 2am
I'd finished
succession
I've mentioned it before
fuck me that's a show
I need to get involved in that
fuck me that's a show
what season is it on
I think season 2
is on Sky
Atlantic
catch up a ball then
catch up a ball yeah
I have demolished
an entire season
in a week or so
it's fucking brilliant
and everyone's very good in it.
So you were watching it late night, were you?
I was watching it late night, and I was eating a...
I was holding it, you know like a baby would do a night feed?
Yeah.
2 a.m. this morning, I was eating the rest of my succulent Chinese meal
with a spoon on a plate, watching Succession in front of my projector.
Well, behind the projector.
Otherwise we wouldn't be able to see anything.
What did your Airbnb guests think?
It was a bit.
It was a bit of spicy chicken.
Was it spicy chicken?
Lemon chicken?
Lemon chicken.
Lemon chicken.
Went for the classics.
Lemon chicken, hot and sour soup,
some rice,
and the shredded beef.
So, yeah.
Classic.
As people who listen to the show regularly know,
it's Pete's death row meal.
And on that note,
on that very, very tasty
and nutritious note,
we'll leave you.
Oh, I was talking about this
on Friday,
death row meal.
Sorry to jump in there.
That's all right.
Which I've done twice in a row
in recent memory.
Don't worry.
I was talking to someone
and I left on a table.
We were having like a big
do at work and I looked to my left and I left on a table. We were having a big do at work
and I looked to my left
and a lad called Will,
who's a really lovely, adorable man,
his death row starter would be prawn cocktail.
What's wrong with that?
That's fucking shit.
It's why.
He likes it, obviously.
Absolute shit.
What would yours be?
It wouldn't be prawn cocktail.
What would it be?
It would be upwards of scallops. Upwards. Scallops as a minimum. Minimum scallops. Absolute shame. What would yours be? It wouldn't be prawn cocktail. What would it be? It would be upwards of scallops.
Upwards.
Scallops as a minimum.
Minimum scallops.
As a minimum.
All right, we'll see you on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend.
You've made it through to the weekend almost.
It's Friday tomorrow.
Enjoy it.
We'll see you on Monday for more of this.
That's goodbye from Pete.
Goodbye from Luke.
That's me.
See you next time.
