Starting point is 00:00:00 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,
Starting point is 00:00:47 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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?
Starting point is 00:01:11 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.
Starting point is 00:01:23 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
Starting point is 00:01:37 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.
Starting point is 00:02:06 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
Starting point is 00:02:14 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,
Starting point is 00:02:20 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
Starting point is 00:02:28 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
Starting point is 00:02:37 I think I do think you are you know have that issue but but so say for example here's the one
Starting point is 00:02:44 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.
Starting point is 00:02:50 You are caught in a picture exactly like when former Labour Prime Minister, Prime Ministerial candidate Ed Miliband was caught eating that bacon sandwich
Starting point is 00:03:00 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.
Starting point is 00:03:08 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
Starting point is 00:03:18 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
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:34 on me major at two at two John Lewis aren't going to want you to advertise their bacon why because you're pulling
Starting point is 00:03:40 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
Starting point is 00:03:53 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.
Starting point is 00:04:07 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.
Starting point is 00:04:14 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.
Starting point is 00:04:22 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.
Starting point is 00:04:33 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.
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:04:58 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
Starting point is 00:05:07 our women you might as well monetise it what you might as well monetise it if you ran a women's refuge
Starting point is 00:05:12 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
Starting point is 00:05:19 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,
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:34 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...
Starting point is 00:05:43 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?
Starting point is 00:05:54 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.
Starting point is 00:06:09 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.
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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.
Starting point is 00:06:49 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.
Starting point is 00:07:08 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
Starting point is 00:07:27 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
Starting point is 00:07:34 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
Starting point is 00:07:42 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,
Starting point is 00:07:49 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
Starting point is 00:07:56 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,
Starting point is 00:08:04 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,
Starting point is 00:08:09 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,
Starting point is 00:08:17 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,
Starting point is 00:08:24 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,
Starting point is 00:08:34 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
Starting point is 00:08:51 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,
Starting point is 00:09:07 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.
Starting point is 00:09:15 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!
Starting point is 00:09:23 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
Starting point is 00:09:30 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
Starting point is 00:09:36 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
Starting point is 00:09:46 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
Starting point is 00:09:52 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
Starting point is 00:09:58 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
Starting point is 00:10:04 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.
Starting point is 00:10:20 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
Starting point is 00:10:31 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
Starting point is 00:10:38 as well hey it's Eddie Vedder here and um yeah Eddie Vedder used to work in a petrol station.
Starting point is 00:10:45 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?
Starting point is 00:10:58 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.
Starting point is 00:11:07 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...
Starting point is 00:11:18 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?
Starting point is 00:11:26 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.
Starting point is 00:11:40 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?
Starting point is 00:11:49 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
Starting point is 00:11:55 came out in the 70s. Peter. Apocalypse Now? Yeah. You've just done it. I like Dave Grohl. Hang on. Nobody is waiting.
Starting point is 00:12:03 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
Starting point is 00:12:10 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
Starting point is 00:12:17 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,
Starting point is 00:12:28 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...
Starting point is 00:12:39 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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.
Starting point is 00:13:06 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.
Starting point is 00:13:20 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
Starting point is 00:13:30 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
Starting point is 00:13:38 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
Starting point is 00:13:46 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
Starting point is 00:13:53 and you're like well look you're sort of opposite him mate like he is fucking hilarious and I really enjoy his work
Starting point is 00:14:03 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,
Starting point is 00:14:13 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?
Starting point is 00:14:28 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
Starting point is 00:14:39 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,
Starting point is 00:15:01 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?
Starting point is 00:15:20 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.
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:15:53 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
Starting point is 00:16:19 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,
Starting point is 00:16:52 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?
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:15 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
Starting point is 00:17:26 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
Starting point is 00:17:33 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
Starting point is 00:17:41 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.
Starting point is 00:17:57 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.
Starting point is 00:18:12 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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
Starting point is 00:18:46 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
Starting point is 00:18:55 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
Starting point is 00:19:01 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
Starting point is 00:19:09 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
Starting point is 00:19:18 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
Starting point is 00:19:25 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
Starting point is 00:19:34 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
Starting point is 00:19:42 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.
Starting point is 00:19:52 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.
Starting point is 00:20:00 It is endlessly humorous. Right. International language of farts. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the place to get in touch with us. We are on social media as well. You can find us using the obvious stuff. I think it's just Luke and Pete Show.
Starting point is 00:20:13 We don't do much on there because we can't be bothered and we're busy. But sometimes you see some stuff shared. Kieran Curtis has been in touch saying, Hi Luke and Pete. Long time listener.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Second time emailer. though he doesn't reference the first time he emailed us all you Luke and Pete show completists out there will know better than us why he emailed the first time around Kieran says bloody love all your shows
Starting point is 00:20:36 and recently caught up with the Luke and Pete show so can hopefully add something interesting and mildly amusing to the cat injuries 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,
Starting point is 00:20:45 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.
Starting point is 00:20:59 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.
Starting point is 00:21:18 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
Starting point is 00:21:26 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
Starting point is 00:21:34 on some sitcoms yeah anyway his biggest claim to fame this week is being included in an email about a man
Starting point is 00:21:41 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,
Starting point is 00:21:55 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,
Starting point is 00:22:14 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
Starting point is 00:22:32 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,
Starting point is 00:22:50 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,
Starting point is 00:23:01 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
Starting point is 00:23:09 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
Starting point is 00:23:17 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?
Starting point is 00:23:25 What do you do with a baby? Have you seen a newborn baby? What's his name?
Starting point is 00:23:28 Dressed in neutral colours. Neutral colours. What do you do? What do you do?
Starting point is 00:23:33 What do you mean? What's his name? There's very few people, there's very few times I'd
Starting point is 00:23:39 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
Starting point is 00:23:45 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
Starting point is 00:23:51 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
Starting point is 00:23:59 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?
Starting point is 00:24:14 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.
Starting point is 00:24:24 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
Starting point is 00:24:33 is there I've done it myself fucking hell their pronoun their pronoun is there and the AP right through all the way through
Starting point is 00:24:40 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
Starting point is 00:24:51 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
Starting point is 00:24:57 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
Starting point is 00:25:03 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?
Starting point is 00:25:12 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?
Starting point is 00:25:25 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
Starting point is 00:25:35 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...
Starting point is 00:25:41 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?
Starting point is 00:25:52 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
Starting point is 00:26:20 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.
Starting point is 00:26:35 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?
Starting point is 00:26:46 Right. In the morning. I know coffee does, doesn't it? Yeah, coffee, cigarettes. Right. It's getting ready for the day. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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
Starting point is 00:27:01 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...
Starting point is 00:27:11 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
Starting point is 00:27:27 it's time right and it's really interesting like my body goes Peter you're about to come home yeah and it's
Starting point is 00:27:35 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
Starting point is 00:27:44 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

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.
Starting point is 00:28:30 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,

Starting point is 00:29:12 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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.
