Last night, an e-bike saved my life.
Ooh, tell us more.
That's one of the news stories on the BBC website.
Cycling is just a hobby to many, but many others,
the battery power of an e-bike has transformed their lives.
It's true, I guess that's true.
People with limited mobility, they've probably
never thought that they could, you know,
their main form of transport could be
a bicycle, but with the batteries
and lithium ions,
beautiful, get them legs
piston pumping. Get yourself a
new emperor battery in there
or a new panda
or a alkalisk in there or a new panda or a alcalisk
alcalisk
in there
you're away
it's funny you mention that
because last
on Monday we talked about
Ginger Baker didn't we
and he sadly passed away
drummer of Cream
this is Luke and Pete show
by the way
I'm Luke this is Pete
and
Ginger Baker I'm led to believe
became
came quite close to becoming
a cyclist
he was almost a cyclist
yeah I think he got
kind of axed it
in his teenage years
right which meant that he didn't want to do it anymore he's quite tall and litheist. Yeah, I think he got into an accident in his teenage years, which meant that he didn't
want to do it anymore.
He's quite tall and lithe, wasn't he?
So I think he'd have the power, I reckon.
He's also fond of the drugs.
Yeah, he's getting in for the pop belgians.
So he started drumming instead.
And we didn't get a chance to talk about it because we mentioned it just as an addendum
on Monday's show.
But I mean, the volatility of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce,
and Eric Clapton in Cream,
this seminal 60s kind of outfit who played,
famously played, put together some amazing albums
in like a couple of years and then just split up.
But they would be like properly fighting
at one point in the middle of a,
in the middle of a, I mean, this is the thing, right?
I know, you know, sometimes you don't want to be
old manny about it, but a lot of time people say
you know
it's a bit
it's a bit sanitized these days
it's all kind of
music industry's kind of
it is what it is
it's about
fronting up
doing your press interviews
doing your bit
playing the game
like
clearly it was much more
like the Wild West
back in the 60s for example
and there's talk of the
and I think it might be covered
in that film I recommend
Beware of Mr. Baker
during a Jack Bruce bass solo
Ginger Baker got so bored
that he just
started smacking his snare drum
with his stick
then threw the stick at Jack Bruce's head
so Jack Bruce got his bass
and smashed the shit out of the kit
and tried to hit him over the head with it
and the concert just fell to pieces
and they just fucking left. I mean, that's
proper. That's what you want, isn't it?
Well, not if you've paid your money. I think
people are a bit more demanding about the professionalism
of their rock stars nowadays.
And if I haven't told the story... I'm straight off to the
Viagogo website, they'd say.
Yeah, exactly. The bassist's just trying to attack the drummer. I'm straight off to the Viagogo website, they'd say. Yeah, exactly.
The bassist's just trying
to attack the drummer.
I'll be leaving a two-star review.
But if I didn't get a chance
to tell the story on Monday
and I haven't told it before,
I just...
Apologies if I have said it before,
but very, very quickly,
I'll just say it again.
I went to go and see
that documentary film,
Beware of Mr. Baker,
and it was a...
I went with my mate Tommy,
and it was a showcase.
He just advanced tickets.
He just bought tickets. And it was it was a showcase advanced tickets, we just bought tickets and it was featuring
Ginger Baker and a music
journalist called Michael Hann
doing a question and answer session after the film
so they showed the film
and then Ginger Baker came out, everyone cheered
maybe he was very frail even then, it was about 10 years ago
and they
started asking him questions but Ginger Baker
was the most
objectionable man
he just didn't want
to be there
oh yeah I do
I do recall this
it was quite famous
it was on the BBC website
wasn't it
the worst interview ever
but the interviewer
dealt with it quite badly
in my opinion
but anyway
just descended into him
just saying
alright just tell me
the name of a drummer
and I'll tell you
whether I rate him or not
and that was the interview
I like that
I thought it was brilliant
I was absolutely loving it
it's like those
wrestling spot interviews where people they just have a list of names they go and that was the interview I like that I thought it was brilliant I was absolutely loving it it's like those wrestling
spot interviews
where people
they just have a list
of names
they go
is he a dick
dick or not dick
and they go
dick
dick
everyone's a dick
everyone's always a dick
the opening scene
of Beware Mr Baker
involves Ginger Baker
breaking the filmmaker's nose
with his walking stick
he's one of those guys
frail old
but just mentally hard
he was on
didn't he
he was in all kinds of trouble
about 10 years ago
wasn't he
he was like
at Death Star then
he sort of came back
he got well into the heroin
he lived to the age of 80
so good on him
well that's what I always think
about the
you know
that wasn't an amazing
innings
when a rock star dies
quite young
I mean
I picked like
Tom Petty or something
how old was Petty
I think he's
just approached
the 60s I think
maybe
right
he wasn't old
old old anyway
but you sort of
think the amount
of fun those guys
had
yeah
if I've ever
overindulged in
anything I sort of
thought that's
knocked five years
off at least
I think Ginger
Baker died
quite I don't
think he was very
wealthy or anything
I think he had
made some quite
poor decisions but he was he's mad anything. I think he had made some quite poor decisions.
But he was.
He's mad.
Didn't care.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway,
God rest him.
His contribution to popular music will never be forgotten.
Some amazing stuff.
And this is really interesting stuff as well.
A lot of jazz stuff,
a lot of kind of Afro beat.
Went to live with Fela Kuti for a while.
Did his own sort of jazz kind of project.
Interesting.
Interesting stuff.
And put up with Clapton.
Followed the music.
Yeah, well, quite, exactly, yeah.
Yeah, so what's been going on?
We're just more tours, really?
Just bits and bobs are off to Barmah tonight?
Yeah, we are.
I was quite interested in this story
which came out of the BBC website.
A man was stopped by police
who essentially got so upset
that he failed his driving test
that he just drove off.
Oh, what?
He ripped the L plates off his car
and just drove off.
And he got about five miles down the road
and the police pulled him over.
And here's the thing, right?
Here is the thing.
That's quite funny
because he's had a tantrum.
He's probably a young man
and we've all been there.
We haven't all done this specifically,
but a couple of things caught my eye. One,
he's driving a peach coloured Mini
which is quite funny. Yeah.
And two, the
prevalence of
different police services
on Twitter
is, I
find quite interesting. What do you mean?
Well, police
are there ultimately to prevent crime
and to stop crime, right?
Yes.
And to arrest people
for committing crimes
or the rest of it.
And the community outreach thing
is important.
I understand that.
It's a big part of it,
particularly in London,
all the problems we have here.
I get that.
But when they tweet stuff
out like this,
on the A50,
bloke fails his driving test
in Derby,
throws his teddy
out of the pram,
rips his L plates off,
jumps in the car
and drives away.
Stopped, vehicle recovered,
reported to court, hashtag seized.
It's like, he's showing off there.
He should be doing that. Show button, a man who's clearly having a difficult day.
Community outreach is one thing,
it's important to show people what you're doing, how their hard-earned
tax money's being spent, etc, etc.
Don't be taking a piss out of people for committing crimes
or making mistakes, because you end up looking like a prick.
And people think, to be honest,
people sometimes fairly think the police are pricks anyway.
It's not a good look, I don't think.
So Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit, think again.
Agree.
You wouldn't get on one of those, you know, those motorway cop shows.
Whoever tweeted that.
But they would.
That's part of the problem.
What?
They would.
They all want to be celebs.
Have you ever seen Road Wars?
They've all got like nicknames and they've got little mascots and stuff.
I just don't know if that's the right thing to be doing.
No, I don't think.
It's still a funny story, though, isn't it?
It's not a performance.
I was watching a clip yesterday
of a bloke from Liverpool
getting arrested on the strip in Las Vegas
and he is pissed.
I don't think I've ever encountered
a man quite so drunk.
Why was he pissed?
What have you been doing?
He's just been out and about. He was top. Why was he pissed? What have he been doing? He's just been out and about.
He was top...
Why was he pissed, Pete?
Because he'd been drinking.
A little bit of the bubbly.
Yeah.
I think a lot of it, the bubbly.
He was completely...
He was topless,
just wearing a pair of swimming shorts,
and he was just trying to get back to his hotel.
It was during the day.
He didn't know where he was.
And he's going,
going,
yeah, we saw you over there sir and he's
gone i wasn't camouflaged you couldn't see me he's just absolutely wazzed what happened to him
quite i think they were surprised at how jovial he was and how um you know he wasn't the one saying
fuck off fuck the police because he was just pissed and he was scared he's gonna get arrested
you can't muck around with you can't muck around with the Americans. You can't muck around with the Americans. No way, Jose. They will draw a bead on you.
What are you expecting
from Bournemouth tonight, Pete?
I...
You've been to Bournemouth before.
Have I been to Bournemouth before?
I think I was going to go out
in Bournemouth
because my friend lives
in Hotsmouth
or he lives in Gosport, rather.
That's where I'm from.
So it's not a million miles
away from there.
It's quite far away.
Is it?
How many miles?
I can remember
the only times we ever
went out in Bournemouth
when I was growing up
was when someone put on
like a special
like minibus
to go to Opera House
which was the big nightclub
in Bournemouth
Opera House
it was fucking terrible
I hated it
at the time
but I pretended I liked it
it was not a little
indie room for you
it was quote
it was quote cool
there were girls there
which I liked
but they didn't like me
so that was pointless
and you'd end up
what would happen was
it's probably about
I mean I'll just double check
but I'm pretty sure
it's
I think it's at least
an hour drive
right
I think
let me just check
give me a sec
I'll just check
and I'll give you
a better indication
of how tedious it was
so it is
an hour and 15
yeah
right
and if you're on a minibus,
it probably takes a little bit longer.
So it's 55 miles-ish
from Gosport to Bournemouth.
It's not close.
Yeah,
but are you doing this
on the website
that tells you
during the day,
it's going to be traffic.
During the night,
when you're pissed,
at 1am,
probably less traffic.
No,
but my point is,
my point is,
you go to a,
what you would do
is you would go to a pub,
and,
obviously,
it's before the internet and before Uber and all this kind of crap, and before you had any money. you would go to a pub and obviously it's before the internet and before Uber
and all this kind of crap
and before you had any money
so you go to the pub
and someone would say
oh by the way
put a minibus on to
Opera House in Bournemouth
and for 20 quid
you can get in
and you get your minibus
there and that
so you go to the pub
for seven
have a couple of beers
get into the minibus
at eight
and it would drive you
the hour and however long
it was to Bournemouth
and you'd be at a nightclub
at nine o'clock no no no because you get to Bournemouth and you have a couple of beers in the pub there and you go into the minibus at 8 and it would drive you the hour and however long it was to Bournemouth and you'd be at a nightclub at 9 o'clock
no no no
because you get to Bournemouth
and you have a couple of beers
in the pub there
and you go into the opera house
about 10.30
but the problem is
wristband
yeah
cool
but the minibus back
for
no other option
so if you're having
like a shit time
or you don't want to be there
you've not been there before
and you think it's not really for me
good luck
you're stuck in Bournemouth
for six hours
and you can't get back that's a stinker that isn't it and you didn't even have like mobile me, good luck. You're stuck in Bournemouth Township for six hours and you can't get back.
That's a stinker, that, isn't it?
And you didn't even have
mobile phones or anything then,
really, to do anything.
So that's my kind of memory
of going out for nights
out in Bournemouth.
But the last time I went there
it was very, very stag
and Hindu orientated.
Oh, okay, right.
Yeah, it's weird little pockets.
That's a good thing.
It's not a good thing.
No, I wasn't saying it was a good thing.
I was just saying,
oh, interesting.
I went there for a stag weekend
because we were supposed to go to Amsterdam
but then the older
Icelandic volcano
scuppered us
I hate Iceland
I hate Iceland
I hate Iceland
and so that's the last time I was there
yeah that's the last time I was there
bomber for a stag do
Lukey Moa
like it not a lot
you're excited are you
yeah I'm going to join a
Hindu
you were a bit ill earlier in the week
are you going to learn your lesson
no god no
that wouldn't be me
I'll be dead by November.
After the American show.
That's my favourite
Wyclef Jean song, Matt.
What?
That's my favourite Wyclef Jean song.
I'll be dead by November.
I'll be dead by November.
He's not, he's by any.
What's he done?
Charity.
Remember, it's charity for...
What's the country he comes from?
Haiti.
Haiti.
Sorry, Haiti.
He, yeah,
his charity, obviously he's a big Haiti sorry he yeah his
charity
obviously he's a big
lightning rod for
because he's
a notable
Haitian
he
they didn't
they gave like a
minimal amount of money
they raised millions
but gave
a derisory amount
to the actual people of Haiti
sounds like a Trump charity
it does sound like a Trump charity
Trump charity
confirmed to have bought
with some of the donations
a massive portrait
of Donald Trump
it's fucking unbelievable
would you
although it isn't unbelievable
would any same
yeah but
presumably those charitable donations
are
it's just for
idiots
really
who
know what they're going to get out of it
and it ain't
you know
goodwill
they know that money's going to Donald Trump
they know that money
that guy at best it's a tax write off isn't it yeah massively yeah I found the story know what they're going to get out of it and it ain't goodwill. They know that money's going to Donald Trump. They know that money's...
At best, it's a tax write-off, isn't it?
Yeah, massively.
I found the story,
which I found quite fascinating.
I don't know much about it,
but I'll just put it out there.
There's a village in northeast India
called Kongtong,
which has a tradition
that's been going about for hundreds of years
where every time a baby is born,
it's given a song by its mother for a name.
So instead of having a name,
it's got like a short little song.
Ah, what's your name?
Yeah.
Searching for the cities of gold.
Donaldson.
My name is...
So call me maybe...
More.
But yeah, apparently people aren't using the names anymore.
They're resorting to kind of outside names,
sort of shortening names.
People are fearing the tradition's going to be lost.
Well, it's difficult, isn't it?
I mean, the internet has made everything very small.
And we've all got to kind of get on, haven't we?
But it's a lovely idea.
I've heard you say that before.
We've all just got to get on, guys.
We have indeed.
I thought that was a nice little story.
That's a lovely story.
Pete, let's take a little break.
Yes.
A little breaksicle,
and then we'll come
back and we'll do
some emails.
How about that?

A little kiss is all we need.
What is that?
What is that?
What even is that?
A little bit of a stab.
What's his name, Sam Lebon?
A little bit of Lebon-y. A little bit of this stab what's his name Sam Lebon little bit of Lebon here
little bit of
Lebon here
hello at
lukeandpeatshow.com
is the place to
email in
oh baby
have you got one
Pete
yes I have
hello to
Paul Harvey
greetings from
an expat residing
in the sporting
capital of the
world Melbourne
saw the below
spot some time
ago and your
latest show
mentioning potential spots for me
to become a world champion.
That led me to think of this.
Basically, it's an interesting little sport.
My computer will allow me
to click on the bloody link.
Trugor, a bizarre sport unique to Melbourne.
It's a mix of croquet, golf, lawn balls
and the hammer.
Wow, this is like this thing
we were talking about before.
We should find a sport that Pete, you or I could be really successful this thing we were talking about before we should find
a sport that Pete
you or I could be
really successful at
we were talking about
pea flicking
weren't we before
I'm very much a
part time member
of the Yarraville
Trugo club
and I haven't played
an official game
for them yet
I probably never will
as I live nearly
8,000 miles from the ground
but I wear my
canary yellow team
shirt with pride
as I arrive
so yeah these guys
just have this
kind of game
I think you've got
to fire it through sticks.
The current world champion, says Paul,
is a bloke who just turned up an intrude,
Aussie style, had a crack.
What, and he won?
And he won.
He's a future world champion.
Like that guy, that ultramarathon in Australia
with his work boots on.
Remember that story?
Oh, that rings a bell, yeah.
He was like an old guy.
He was 50s.
He topped his ultramarathon
and he didn't really know
what he was getting in for.
He didn't know you could stop to sleep
and he just ran for like 55 hours
in his work boots and won it.
Lovely.
It's great stuff.
Lovely old job.
It feels like Australia's
maybe one of the only countries
you can still do that kind of thing in.
Well, you've got to keep running
from the spiders.
Well, true, exactly.
Everything you touch there kills you.
What about this from...
Oh, this is anonymous.
It's probably best that I read it out, Pete. You'll like this, though.
He actually
starts the email by saying, this is kind of boring, so you
won't read this out. Well, hang on a
minute, mate. We'll be the arbiters of what's
boring and what isn't. And he says,
please don't use my name or the company name, because
I've signed an NDA, but I was listening to your last
episode about Samuel L. Jackson doing the
Amazon voice. I'm a sound
engineer in Berlin. Ah.
What do you think he looks like? David Bowie.
Cardigan, glasses.
Yeah. Bow tie. Really?
No, not bow tie. He'd have a cardigan on though.
Yeah. He'd be off to the
Burgeen every night. Get some new sounds.
Yeah. Is that where they make them?
Yeah. Is that where all new sounds come from? I'm not
very well, Luke. You've got to push
through that. You know that Kraftwerk, they used to have this thing where they were so obsessed with sound
that they refused to have the phone ring in their studio.
Okay.
So they didn't want it to pollute the sound they were making and stuff, right?
And that became particularly problematic when it came to doing press interviews.
Yes.
Because they'd always be in the studio.
I mean, people who don't know a craft booker,
you can look them up,
but suffice to say,
they're a bit weird.
Otters.
Yeah.
They used to have a phone,
but they disabled the ringer.
So they're late.
No, no, no, they didn't have a light.
What they would say is,
yes, you can do a press interview with us.
Please call us at 2.25pm. And someone would be there to pick it up. Well, and they would just is, yes, you can do a press interview with us. Please call us at 2.25pm.
And someone would be there to pick it up.
Well, and they would just pick up the phone at 2.25pm.
And just talk to whoever.
And if someone was there, they would get it.
If not, you'd missed your chance.
I love it.
Imagine if we had that.
No one would know we were.
I've got a lot of time for that.
Isn't it Robert Smith who only answers emails or looks at his emails two days a week?
Right.
That's a great rule.
I know people at Capital Radio
who used to work with did that.
It was you.
Yeah.
Did I tell you about the time
I emailed around
from the director's
email address?
No.
Inviting everyone to a barbecue
at his house.
Oh yes, I think you did, yeah.
Dags.
I didn't get fired for that.
Yeah, because you were
friends with dags.
So that works.
That's the moral.
Become friends with your boss
and you'll never work
another day in your life.
He was great to me.
He took me back
into the office
after I got married
on it for my other job
and went up to someone
and just said,
find him something
to do, please.
It was great.
I was there for like a year.
I like that.
Didn't get paid.
Good block.
No, I did.
I did.
I did.
What was I going to say?
Oh, yeah.
So,
sound engineer in Berlin
and he said,
last year I had to record a voice for a device
that a certain company are planning to bring to market next year.
A device?
A device, which is essentially like Alexa,
but for their particular customers.
He says, we work with a company who specialise in speech-to-text recording.
Okay.
Basically, you get about 3,000 to 4,000 script prompts,
which require about 60 hours of recording.
Bro.
As English, they are predominantly bullshit.
For example, the apple is trained
to decipher the ankle,
but they basically contain
all the possible phonetic combinations in English.
Hmm. Okay.
From there, it's simply a case
of running every prompt
through something akin to a spectral analyser.
Yeah.
So it can recognise all the wave patterns
of each phonetic element.
You'd have to be very careful about
not running one sound into another.
You'd have to be very careful
at how you pronounced things.
The diction would have to be pretty...
You and I would be fucked.
And he said after that,
you simply have to write a text script
which can then reconstruct any word
based on the phonetic construction.
And in theory, you can get the voice
to say anything
even if it wasn't recorded
saying exactly that
yeah
basically given the right script
as long as the recording
is consistent
between 60 to 80 hours
of recording
are required to
effectively synthesize
someone's voice
to the point where
it sounds natural
when they say any sentence
in English
that's how it works
yeah
lovely old job
many you like that sort of stuff don't you Pete well I kind of figured that was how it works. Yeah, lovely old job.
Many... You like that sort of stuff,
don't you, Pete?
Well, I kind of figured
that was how it was working,
but you'd still have to
spend a long time
doing different phrases
and stuff, wouldn't you?
To get down.
For me, it's less...
For me,
the side of it
that I'm more interested in,
and I probably didn't make this clear
when we talked about it
a couple of weeks ago,
I'm less interested in that
and more interested in how it recognizes
what I'm saying or what you're saying
and how it implements that.
Right.
Because people speak in a variety of different ways
and a variety of different accents.
And so, for example,
the software just must be unbelievable
because if you,
say you decide you want to move to Italy
and you take your Alexa with you
that's fine but if you want to buy an Alexa when you're there
I mean is it set up for English?
No because it's all be down to your account
so I mean those Alexas are just basically
a microphone and an internet connection
it doesn't do any processing in the box
itself it sends it to a much powerful
a much more powerful computer
Via the wifi? Yeah so
you know it'll send it to one of those
Google kind of
Amazon-y kind of
but it still needs to be able
to understand and implement
hundreds of different languages
yeah
so I mean
or it's just limited by language
I don't really know how
fundamentally
I don't understand
how Chinese people
understand each other
you know
Cantonese, Mandarin
all of the tonal languages
I
because it just seems to be
optional sometimes when people speak.
But do they have,
do they have voice activated devices?
Yeah,
they all are.
Yeah.
And it's all perfect.
All perfectly done.
Because,
because someone was saying,
because I remember a while back,
there was this,
this kind of sort of prevailing wisdom that,
well,
what you want to do is you want to start teaching Mandarin in schools and not Spanish,
because Mandarin is the language of the future
and all the rest of it.
But then someone else said,
well, hang on a minute,
it's so nuanced and so different
and you'll get people in different parts of China
who don't understand certain other parts of Mandarin
because they're in a different place
and the tonality is different
and very subtle changes can make it very, very different.
It's almost impossible.
There's no point even trying.
Well, I mean, you can learn it,
but I mean, it's...
You can learn it to a proper level, though, right?
Say again?
Could you learn Mandarin to a proper level
if you hadn't lived there for years?
Well, I think learning a language
outside of the country makes it difficult
wherever you are, isn't it?
I mean, I would say
it's nigh on impossible
to learn a language like that
without submerging yourself into it.
And even if you learn Mandarin, Chinatown,
round the corner from me, they're all Cantonese speakers.
Are they? Why is that?
I think that's the choice of...
I think the people, expats, Chinese expats, I suppose,
I'm fairly certain there's a lot of Cantonese speakers in those.
I don't know why, but I'm fairly certain.
So you're basically saying your efforts to learn Japanese
are like a fool's errand then?
Well,
it's a fool's errand
in that I don't live there,
so it's not,
I'll never be able
to get good at it,
really.
I mean,
you know,
again,
and I'm also very,
very lazy,
but I'm very interested in it.
I find the whole thing
very fascinating
where the words come from
and the language that are obsessed with wordplay
and onomatopoeia and stuff like that.
I find that side of things very, very interesting.
But it's quite interesting as well how,
an example, Alexa or whatever the variation they have in China
would work based on a language that is so tonal.
Yeah.
It'd be more difficult, but apparently they work fine.
But again,
it's just all about
training an algorithm,
all about training
the artificial intelligence.
So it gets better as it goes on.
That's why, you know,
Amazon and all those companies
and Google are in trouble
for recording audio
and sending it back to the lab
just to, you know,
because they just need more data,
more and more and more data.
The bigger the sample size,
the better the results you get,
isn't it?
Are they listening to us now?
Well, this will live
this will live on
I mean
I've got no doubt
in my mind
that certain parts
of the deep thinking
computers
will be training themselves
on things like podcasts
but I guess
at the end
you have to figure out
what we're actually saying
in the first place
I think the computer
would come to us
and go
well they can probably
understand your voice
but mine
is a little more complex.
If you and I are having a conversation,
not on a podcast,
and there's a phone in the room that's on,
can that listen to us?
It can listen to us.
I mean, any bloke who works,
bloke or madame,
who works in bloke or madame,
who works in national security will say,
a phone is literally a microphone,
if it needs to be.
And a smart TV as well?
Yeah, all those, all those.
But most companies' best practice
will not have them uploading everything.
And to be honest,
what are you really broadcasting in your house?
Which is kind of interesting
because it's about permission, right?
It's about the things like
if I chat to my wife
about potentially having a new bathroom
or something
I might want
a new bathroom
but if I'm being
bombarded with adverts
because they've heard
what I've said
that's a massive
breach of privacy
yeah but I mean
we all get our new products
and we're really excited
about them
and we click through
all our T&Cs
all our T&Cs
that say look
we are allowed to do this
and allowed to do that
click click click
and we just click through
oh I never even read it
yeah exactly
there's a great let me sketch about it's like being. Oh, I'll never even read it. Yeah, exactly. That one does. There's a great Limmy sketch about that.
It's like being back at school.
I've said it already, but I haven't.
It's a great Limmy sketch
where they're about to break for the weekend
and they're going out for a club
and having a drink.
And they're like,
oh, get some tunes on Limmy.
And he's like, yeah, cool.
And he's like,
I need to install an MP3 player on my computer.
And he goes and installs and there's this big, you know, T's and C's. And he's like, I need to install an MP3 player on my computer. And he goes and installs
and there's this big,
you know,
T's and C's.
And he's like,
oh gosh,
they've read this.
I'll just print it out.
Hang on.
And he's just,
he spends the whole weekend
worrying about these T's and C's.
He's got like a solicitor
and stuff
and his wife's like
going to leave him
because he's so distracted.
That's what we would take
for you to actually read it
and understand it.
Yeah, there's no,
you know,
some companies in the past have like put little prizes in their T's and understand it yeah there's no you know some some companies in the past
have like put little prizes
in their T's and C's
if someone you know
it'll say like
ring this number
and you win a prize
and there'll only be
ever one or two people
applying for the prize
because they're the only people
who've bloody read them
it's mad
madness
it is mad
madness
the modern world
let's do one more email
very quickly
this is from Varsh
who says
hi guys I was reading
at work today
and the reason I include this piece
because I think you've mentioned
this to me as
well.
There's a guy
who is suing
Apple because
he's claiming an
iPhone app turned
him gay.
Got a lot of
time for this one
to be honest.
He says it comes
after an incident
involving gay
coin cryptocurrency
a suing Apple
for £12,000
because
What's the
large amount run money?
I mean
it's kind of
difficult to get
to the bottom of this
He wanted to buy
Oh my god
Siri is listening to us
Oh my god
What are the chances
of that?
Turn it off
Hang on
How do I turn Siri on?
Siri
How do I turn Siri on? What? How do I turn Siri on?
What? That is so weird
after we had that conversation. Right, turn.
Siri? Hey, Siri.
Can Bitcoin
turn you gay?
Okay. I found
this on the web for can Bitcoin turn you gay?
Can Bitcoin turn you gay can bitcoin turn you gay
alright
he filed this
he filed this lawsuit
on my birthday as well
oh
20th of September
happy birthday
and he said
I mean the quotes are amazing
the quotes are amazing
he's bought some bitcoin
he's been given a different
kind of bitcoin
which is
interest bitcoin
some kind of cryptocurrency
um
the lover the willy
or the boob depending on if you
are a man or a woman yeah is that daniel farca the gay coin cryptocurrency arrived with a note
saying don't judge until you try i i thought how can i judge something without trying yeah i decided
to try same-sex relationships now i have a boyfriend and i don't know how to explain this
to my parents he's very suggestible this chap isn't he I'll tell you what
she'll advertise
a new bathroom
to him down the phone
if you have his hand
in his pocket
before he can say anything
well maybe
thank you very much
to Varsh for sending that in
I just like that
he's clearly been
caught doing something
and he's just trying
to style it out
in the most public
forum possible
you cannot move
for
American gay conversion preachers
coming out as gay.
Oh, yeah, because they get caught with hands in the till.
Slash bum.
That's what they do.
They go, what's the name of the preacher?
I forget his name now.
Oh, it's annoying.
He's quite a famous one.
The best ever example of this
was he had essentially made
a fortune
in a mega church
for
and you know
depending on your outlook
you could make
a decent argument
I think
to say that he was
he was ruining people's lives
I mean he was
he was judging people
making them feel awful
for their sexuality
and using
you know
his faith
or what he thought
was his faith
to essentially judge
and be awful to gay people everywhere caught in a hotel room with a load of crack and a gay
prostitute look then listen to this though then guess what god can't penetrate motel walls but
guess guess what happened after that pete he owned it so that was a crisis of his faith yeah and he
got even more donations love it more. More crack, more bum.
He turned it around. More bum crack.
I'm trying to think
of his name.
Love it.
What was his name?
I can't remember.
I think he was called
Ted but I'm just
getting Ted DiBiase
up in there.
That's how he got
all the money.
Yeah.
He did nothing to Virgil.
So this guy is obviously
going through a few
issues of his own.
Wish him all the best
but that is a funny story
and we can't ignore that on a Luke and Pete show.
I never get tired of men, and it is usually men,
because we're stupid,
just embarrassing themselves in a public forum
for little or no recompense.
Which is a Luke and Pete show.
Exactly.
Debase ourselves.
Ted debase-y-ass-y ourselves in front of a being crowd.
Just so you know, you can love feminism,
love women, without hating men. You know that.
What do you mean? You don't have to say all men
are stupid. We are stupid.
All of the stupid stories are men.
Yeah. So, yeah, we are.
We're dreamers.
We're thinkers. We're makers. We're not the only ones.
We're not the only ones. Alright, on that
bombshell, let's get out of here.
Oh, by the way, before we get out of here, before you
press that button, big, big shout
out to Chris Morris coming back.
You see that? He did a really
interesting, quite long-form interview
on, I think, Channel 4 News with
Jon Snow. Jon Snow. 15 to 20 minutes.
Comedy genius, Chris Morris. Amazing
social, political commentator.
I love him. Love all his work,
pretty much. He's got a new film
coming out i can't remember what it's called but the interview with him look it up we'll try and
share it on the luke and pete show twitter um about the um the role of satire in what is a
mental age we live in now he's got some really interesting thoughts on it and i was really
well john snow had one question and just repeated it constantly i don't think john snow knew how to
deal with it because morris is a brain as well isn't it but yeah that's
worth checking out
before we go just
point that out
and if you ever
want to see him he's
usually walking around
Stoughton Newington
is he really that's
good to know I might
go find him
cake the made up
drug
