do you mind we out here sorry money so money my colleague just said something unbelievably
offensive off air and i would like to distance myself from those comments. Who? You, Luke Moore.
He didn't really.
Luke Moore.
On the Luke and Pete show, Pete Donaldson with you as well.
It is a Monday, and we're in a green leather-bound room.
Rich mahogany table.
Rich mahogany table.
I'm only going to call you P-Money from now on.
Why?
Because you were Donnie, you've been PD.
I think P-Money's the natural next step. The natural evolution Pokemon style. Yeah. P-M Donny you've been PD. Yeah. I think P money is the
natural next step.
The natural evolution
Pokemon style.
Yeah.
P money.
Yeah.
How do you feel about it?
Well I mean my life's
work is very much to
give away all of my
money.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Book my flights for
America for the Ramble
Live tour last night.
Yeah.
Because I was
shooing the ones that
were provided to us
because they were not
convenient for me.
I haven't even got the
details about that.
No. Alright. They couldn't move them. They couldn't move them. I haven't even got the details about that. No.
Alright.
They couldn't move them.
They couldn't move them.
So I was like,
right,
I'll book myself.
Gosh darn it.
Pay your own money.
Pay your own way.
Pay me your money.
Can't take it with you
as they say.
Big news in Luke and Pete world
is that on Friday night,
obviously,
Football Round World Live
did a show
at Shepherd's Bush Empire.
Lots of fun.
Yeah, baby.
And
Father Moore was there.
Yes, I met Father Moore for the first time.
Was that the first time?
Maybe the second time.
I don't think it's the first time you've met him,
but it's the first time you've had a beer with him, I think.
Right.
And he spent quite a lot of time insulting you, didn't he?
He said very few words to me.
I said, hello, Father Moore.
Sorry, I didn't say hello earlier.
And he said
you've done quite well
for someone with
not much upstairs
yeah he did say that
didn't he
yeah
and in that moment
I found out a lot
about Luke Moore
I think
but the thing is
why is Luke
how he is
my dad is a lovely man
and he
and he rang me
not at that point
well he
he was carrying himself
with the air
very much of a man
who'd arrived in London at three o'clock
and had been in the pub ever since.
Yes.
But on Sunday morning,
he called me to apologise
about what he said to you.
And I said,
Dad, don't worry about it.
He would have taken it in great spirit.
He said,
I took the piss out of his haircut
and I told him he didn't have much upstairs
and I feel bad about it.
If he was that pissed,
why would he remember?
I think sometimes people
do still remember things
but they're not all
blackout drunks like you.
I love being a blackout drunk.
But why wasn't your dad there?
Because he lives in
the North East
a bit, the Newcastle show.
Oh, is he coming to
the Newcastle one?
He's coming to the
Newcastle show.
Brilliant.
I mean he had to really
argue the point.
I shouldn't have to
argue the point though Luke.
Is that why he should be there?
Yeah, sort of saying
you are literally
the only
Rambler
Rambler dad
Rambler parent
who's never been asked
to come and watch us
fucking do stuff
yeah
what did he say to that
who's this
he went I wouldn't understand any of it
new phone who did
new phone who did this
he said I wouldn't understand any of it
I said well
it doesn't matter
it's two hours of your life dad
yeah
give it up
give me some of your time baby
he's normally in bed as well
isn't he at that point
he is usually in bed
so I mean that's probably part of it as well.
But, yeah, they're going to come up, stay in a hotel,
maybe have a bit of breakfast with them, and then I'll be off.
Very nice.
My dad doesn't really understand any of it either.
He's not really a big football fan, but I think they still enjoyed it.
Yeah.
I did a little dance.
Made a little love.
Made a little love.
Get down tonight.
Yeah, it was a good night.
People should still get tickets now.
There's about seven or 8 shows left in this country
and then there's 4 shows
in the US and Canada
ramblelive.com
are we kind of
half way through now
yeah
past half way
in this country
we're not past half way
I think we will be on Thursday
looking forward to doing
more shows
you know what
it was a bit of a
2 weeks in I was like
wow I don't really know
how recording artists
do this every night
because it's
it's really
I finished and I'm
drained completely drained it's exhausting isn't it's really i finished and i'm drained
completely drained exhausting pretty exhausting but um and you know how do people fit in drug
abuse and alcohol abuse in between that's what i think that's why why they do it happens i mean i
remember i don't think i'll say the name of the band because i don't want to get someone in trouble
but a friend black eyed peas it wasn't a black eyed pea right a friend of mine Black Eyed Peas it wasn't the Black Eyed Peas right a friend of mine managed quite a a big band
N-Dubs
kind of quite a big
influentially
very very important band
that kind of stuff
and
it was
they were a five piece
can you stop
scratching your shoulders
unsettling me
what are you doing
I don't know
it's got itch
stop picking at your own skin
it's weird
why
just do it later
I'll do what I want
and
and they
he said it was a nightmare
because they were a five piece
and a couple of them
were really into getting pissed
all the time.
Right.
One of them was into
cocaine and speed
and the other two
were into heroin.
Just like,
they never,
they never wanted to do
the same thing
at the same time
for obvious reasons.
Yeah.
It was just an absolute disaster.
It was impossible.
Like us?
No, not really.
In many ways.
Yeah, but we don't take any drugs, do we?
So there's not any
difference.
We kind of like our
own space.
I take a lot of
Sudafed like Donald
Trump.
Have you seen
he's got European
strength Sudafed in
his bag?
No, it's in his
drawer, wasn't it?
His drawer was full
of Sudafed and the
only stuff you can
get in Europe because
apparently it's not
available in the US.
Yeah, Sudafedrine is
very harshly managed
regulated because you
can make all kinds of...
Amphetamine.
Amphetamine, yeah.
What's the one that Walter White and I love?
Meth.
Meth.
I think meth was some variant as well.
So if you ever try and buy Sudafed in America,
it's weaker and it's not as good,
and you've got to go to a pharmacist
and go through loads of hoops.
That's why you've got to flip to a methylamine cup.
But, yeah, very interesting. you've got to go to a pharmacist and go through loads of hoops that's why you've got to flip to a methylamine cup but
yeah
very interesting
because he's obviously
famous for
being very sniffy
and that's exactly what
Sudafed
does
whenever he does a big speech
he's always
like that
and that's what Sudafed does
it just
turns all of the snot
into
very thin
watery
fluid
so you're just constantly going
basically presumably to unblock your passages.
Yeah, but he's taking it for a high,
because it's just...
I'm just getting the proper drugs, mate.
Yeah.
I'm sure the president's doctor
could prescribe something a little bit more interesting
than Sudafed, for crying out loud.
I bet you'd be able to get, like, quality cocaine.
Well, you'd be able to get, like,
some amazing medicinal nonsense.
Lovely old job.
Speaking of
methamphetamine,
have you seen
El Camino?
I've not,
no.
I was supposed to be,
I was planning on
watching it because
I was supposed to be
interviewing Jesse.
Oh, were you?
Aaron Paul,
that'd be interesting.
I've had a few
interviews lately
that have cancelled.
I mean,
they've cancelled
company-wide,
so Magic haven't
got the interview,
Planet Rock haven't
got their interview, Karang haven't got their interview Planet Rock haven't got their interview
Karang haven't got
their interview
etc etc
but he cancelled
the It cast
It chapter 2
cast cancelled as well
I don't know what's
going on
why don't they like me
Luke
what's going on
how long have you got
God Blink 182 on Wednesday
have you
they're a funny
couple of people
Mimi's favourite
El Camino is
I'd quite like you
to interview Aaron Paul
because I'd like to know
what he's like
he seems lovely
I've interviewed him
before he's nice
he was a bit of a
child
kind of it boy
for a while
he hung out with
Michael Jackson
a bit weirdly
oh did he
less said about that
the better
El Camino I've found
I'm not going to
spoil it to people
so if you're listening and you haven't seen it well first I'll give you a quick praise better. Yes. El Camino, I found, I'm not going to spoil it to people,
so if you're listening and you haven't seen it,
well, first I'll give you a quick praise of what it is.
El Camino's a van, isn't it?
It's a type of car, yeah.
And it's a standalone feature length,
I suppose episode slash movie,
written and directed by Vince Gilligan,
who created Breaking Bad.
It's about what happens to Jesse
post-Breaking Bad.
Yeah.
I'm not going to spoil it.
If you haven't seen it, go and watch it.
It's good.
But a couple of observations from me
that are spoiler-free, hopefully,
is that I was fascinated by the tempo
and the pace of it and the tone of it.
And I'll tell you why.
Vince Gilligan, of course, made Breaking Bad,
then he made Better Call Saul.
Better Call Saul is one of the slowest-paced
TV shows I've ever seen.
It's more of like a character study
show rather than anything that's driven by any kind of discernible plot in my opinion
and the reason i found this el camino interesting in that context is because if you watched the
very first episode of breaking bad the pilot i understand why this is the case because you want
to get a show commissioned you have to kind of set it up show people what you're trying to do pack a lot in and and it's and it has to be people
have to kind of buy into it right so if you generally speak in pilot episodes which then
go on to be broadcast pilots are quite action-packed and lots of stuff happens but if you
watch that go back and re-watch that first episode of breaking bad i think it's just called pilot
the amount of stuff that happens in it in one hour is unbelievable it's unbelievably fast i think it's just called pilot the amount of stuff that happens in it in one hour is
unbelievable it's unbelievably fast i mean it's the whole premise of the show and it's an old
show so i'm not so concerned about spoiler in this particular part he finds out he's got cancer
he goes on a he goes on a drug bust with his brother-in-law he sees a news alert on tv
he finds jesse he starts cooking meth shit Shit starts going wrong. He buys the RV.
All this stuff happens
in one episode.
Now, if you go and watch
Better Call Saul,
and in this case,
El Camino,
it's like it's been
written and directed
by a completely
different person.
But the only thing
that's sort of
linking it back
is, of course,
the characters
and the setting
and the plot
or the post-plot.
I find that fascinating
that someone in that amount of time
can completely reinvent
and change themselves
as a writer and a director.
It's baffling to me.
Isn't that what you want to do though?
But you need to earn that agency.
You need to earn that trust
from the people
who write the checks effectively.
Maybe what you're suggesting
that's what he wants to do all along
but he couldn't.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't think it's better, Pete.
Personally.
Well,
I mean,
but I would say
one of,
I think probably the best TV show
in history,
probably Mad Men
and that is a very,
very ponderous show
where nothing happens
so that when something
slightly
out there happens
you're like,
fuck!
Yeah.
You know, you earn the punches.
You earn the big set pieces, I think, a lot more.
I couldn't really...
A man gets his foot run over by a bloody lawnmower.
Bang! Shit!
I couldn't really get with Mad Men.
It's brilliant.
First few seasons I liked, but I kind of lost interest.
For me, it's Breaking Bad, it's The Sopranos,
and it's The White and my faves
Dad
you're such a dad
I'm a dad
I'm like a dad
without any kids
I was speaking of
El Camino as well
I'm Breaking Bad
Robert Forster
sadly passed away last week
famous as the
Bale Bondsman
and Jackie Brown
he's nominated for an Oscar
for that
he's brilliant in Breaking Bad
he plays the
is he very tall
he always looked very tall
quite tall
amazing face he's in the Tommy Lee Jones ballpark in terms of face He plays the... Is he very tall? He always looked very tall. Quite tall. Amazing face.
He's in the Tommy Lee Jones ballpark in terms of face.
He's in the Twin Peaks reboot as well.
A really thoughtful actor.
Another fascinating aspect of that,
he plays a character in Breaking Bad,
a really interesting character.
It's kind of a,
I'd call it like an extended cameo, I suppose.
But one of the things that fascinates me,
he's clearly such a brilliant actor
Oscar nominated
before he got
rediscovered through
Quentin Tarantino
with Jackie Brown
he's just acting in
B movies
it's quite weird
that isn't it
there but for the
grace of God go so
many different actors
I'm pretty sure
John Travolta was
down and out before
he got back with
Pulp Fiction right
yes
it can kind of
happen for actors that way
can't it?
Well you've got to be
discovered somewhere
but George Clooney
No but Travolta
had done all this
stuff before of course
Saturday Night Fever
and all the rest of it
and then 93, 94
whenever he comes back
with Pulp Fiction
who were you going
to say there?
Well I was thinking
like Mark Hamill
he was doing things
like video games
like Wing Commander
and the voice of Joker
and then obviously
he slides back into
Star Wars.
He's not been given
any other roles
in anything else
I don't think
but yeah,
very interesting.
Yeah,
alright,
so yeah,
do check out El Camino.
It's definitely worth watching.
As my dad texted me
at seven in the morning
on Saturday,
just finished El Camino.
I'm seriously thinking
about watching the full series
of Breaking Bad again.
Yeah.
I think I might be
a recovering meth head
after one small hit
it made me feel
it made me like
fall back in love
with the Breaking Bad
universe again
and it made me realise
that actually
Albuquerque
I've never visited it
but Albuquerque
is as much a character
in that show
as any of the actors are
I mean the setting to it
is so important isn't it
where's Albuquerque
it's in New Mexico
yeah
this is like an
absolutely fascinating
place you know
I think that's it
from me on TV shows
you've been watching
Succession right
been bashing through
Succession
it's good
I'm about halfway
through the second
season at the moment
he did
yeah I didn't realise
it was written by the
guy who created
Peep Show
he did
yeah
Jesse Armstrong
yeah Jesse Armstrong
is it Jesse Armstrong
Sam Baird
I think Jesse Armstrong
is doing his own thing now.
Armstrong's the one who definitely created Succession.
Yeah, I think Brian Cox is a brilliant actor as well.
Fantastic.
It's very good.
Again, great cast.
Nobody is...
It's very rare where literally nobody's a redeemable figure.
Maybe it just reflects society
no one is likeable
in that show
at all
maybe Greg
Greg yeah
Greg's funny
Greg the idiot
I like the guy
who does this kind of
accent in it
that's massively funny
he's brilliant
he used to be in
Spooks
isn't he Darcy
isn't he Darcy
in Private Prejudice
as well
he's brilliant in it
he's so funny
he's so weird
so uh
but then Greg
has quite a similar voice but it's he uh but uh it's's so funny he's so weird so uh he's just very very well played but then Greg has quite a similar voice
but it's
he uh
but uh
it's kind of like
quite similar voices
it's got a bit of the
um
west wing about it
hasn't it
yeah
yeah
anyway look
have you got any thoughts
on any of that kind of stuff
it's hello at
lukeandpeachow.com
we didn't plan to do
a little TV
special at the start
a little TV round up
like a little TV round up
we kind of fell into that
so
I'm really
I'm trying to get to see
the Tim Heidecker
Mr. America
where he tries to run
for District Attorney
I want to say.
But obviously he can't
because he has no
legal background at all.
But it's
like he announces it.
It's this big PR push.
You can see it on YouTube.
You can watch it on Amazon.
You can watch it on iTunes.
You can watch it on Google Play.
None of these options are available in the United of Kingdoms.
Bloody Kingdoms.
It's a piss take.
It's like, is it the new Disney stuff?
All of the new...
Is he Tim and Eric?
Is he Tim from Tim and Eric?
Yeah, Tim and Eric.
Okay, right.
It looks really good, actually.
The trailer looks really good.
Some of his stuff is a bit hit and miss, but this looks alright.
But, yeah, I'm just tired of...
Look at how Disney has dealt with the Star Wars
stuff. Is it
the Midichlorian?
Whatever the Boba Fett
set piece show is going to be.
Everyone's very excited about that.
What is he?
I can't remember. I don't know what you mean.
Midichlorian's a thing in their blood, isn't it?
It starts with an M. Midichlorian's a thing in their blood, isn't it? It starts with an M.
Midlorian, either way.
Yeah, all of that stuff's happening,
and they're not going to release,
I'm fairly certain they're not going to release the new Disney channel Star Wars stuff in the UK
for like half a year after it comes out in the US.
Are you kidding me?
If you're a Star Wars fan, you're going to torrent it.
You're going to watch it illegally.
Mandalorian insane Mandalorian
Mandalorian
why do you think
they've done that
just a really
old school
view of how
the fucking world works
I don't know
I do not know
back in the 90s
you'd be all the rage
I remember going to
the US on holiday
with my parents
and you'd get a film
that wouldn't be out
for ages
and nine months later
you'd be back in the UK
and you'd be like
I saw that already
and you'd be like the coolest kid in school for about five minutes then you'd be back in the UK and you'd be like I saw that already and you'd be like
the coolest kid in school
for about five minutes
then you go back
to being bullied again
let's have a quick break
and after that
we'll do some emails
I took my holidays
and filed in Scarborough
very little
because I just say
I took
99%
of my holidays
in
Minehead
in Somerset
and my dad got
made redundant
we got a bit of money spent it on a holiday to Florida it was a recklessly of my holidays in Minehead in Somerset and my dad got made redundant. Yeah.
We got a bit of money and spent it on a holiday
to Florida.
Yeah.
It was a recklessly
irresponsible thing to do.
Well, I hope he's rude
to the Americans.
But now I've got
an American wife.
Get your hand off my penis!
Get your hand off his penis!
Julian Assange there.
That is his penis.
That is his business.
Don't touch
it for crying out loud. It will bite
your hand off. Good to hear from
Julian. And we had loads of emails about robots
this week. Hello at LukeandPete
show.com as I keep saying. Do not be shy
about emailing in. We love to hear from you.
We talked about robots a week or two ago.
Lots of people have emailed in about them and the things
that they're already up to. There was a robot
chef making omelettes
in a hotel in Singapore.
There's a band called Compressorhead
playing Motorhead's Ace of Spades.
I've seen them.
They look good.
It's actually quite terrifying
because they're perfectly in time.
Yeah.
It's kind of a bit weird and loads more.
Pete, can I interest you in this quick headline?
Go on.
Do you want to read it out?
Yeah.
Police robot told woman to go away
after she tried to report crime,
then sang a song. What more do you want to read it out? Yeah. Police robot told woman to go away after she tried to report crime, then sang a song.
What more do you want from your police officers?
Not dissimilar to actual police officers
in some cases.
What song was it?
I don't know.
And one of the guys who came...
Oh, I do birds suddenly appear.
You know,
you know,
I get really into things,
right?
Right.
It's just reminding me.
At Shiversbush Empire,
one of the guys who,
I don't really know how he was in the bar afterwards
because I think it was like a wristband affair,
but he was there anyway.
Good on him.
Nice fella.
I think he was called Mark.
He was a police sergeant.
And he started talking to me that he was a police sergeant.
And so, you know, I get quite into stuff.
So I just kept asking him questions.
And, um...
Is this a crime?
Is this a crime?
Yeah, I was...
Is this a crime?
Touched him there. Is that a crime is this a crime yeah is this a crime I was touching him there
is that a crime
and uh
I said to him
um
what do you
how do you view it
when like people swear at you
or whatever
because sometimes
it's like
he says
to be honest
it's all about context
yeah
so if you sang a song
in his face
um
then um
perhaps he wouldn't arrest you
but if it was a sweary song
maybe he would
but he was telling me
that um
fuck the police
there's an old law
that a pregnant woman can take a slash on his helmet.
Is that a story?
He said it's true.
And he says what happens to a lot of people
when they're out at night
and they're having a bit of fun
and there's a pregnant woman there,
everyone always wants them to have a photo with the helmet.
And he generally lets them do it.
But if you wish to steal his helmet, of course,
then you'd be in trouble for that.
But anyway, this email I wanted to start with
this time around, Pete, is from James.
And it's very remiss of me not to follow up on this myself,
but James has done the hard work for us
and has picked up on this from a show a week or two ago.
He says,
Hi guys, big fan of the show,
but I wanted to highlight something
that I think was unfairly skipped over in the last episode.
Off the back of Mo's overloaded email about taking his cat to Italy, do you remember that?
Yes, I do.
Pete offered the solution of, in quotes, disguising the cat as a dog.
As there was a lot to discuss in that email, I feel this got lost a bit, so I'd like to ask Luke to get Pete to clarify exactly how he'd do this,
and if it failed, what other animals would he attempt to pass the cat off as at the
border that's from james so you said the easy solution to this cat problem is to disguise the
cat as a dog what are you doing i would put glue on the cat's nose okay already that's horrific
it would be shiny arguably their most important sense uh is it? Hearing and sniff. No, a cat's eyes, aren't they?
Now you're in something here.
Long distance only.
Right.
Cat's long distance vision is fantastic.
And night vision is good.
That's why sheep's eyes are wide.
Cows' eyes are wide, aren't they?
So they're close up there.
Eyes are rubbish.
So what are you doing with the glue on their nose?
To make it look shiny, like a shiny dog's nose.
Yeah.
Clip their little whiskers.
They can't let that grow back.
What?
They don't grow back.
Shut up.
Now they can't fit through gaps.
They're whiskers.
Come on.
Now they can't fit through gaps.
Why?
Is that how they figure out
when they can fit through gaps?
Do you not know that?
What?
A cat's whiskers
are exactly the width
of their body.
Right.
That's how they use them
to see if they can
fit through gaps.
Just try and get fit.
So you'll never see a cat with a dead stuck in somewhere.
Well, my cat put its head in a hedgehog once,
and I'd take him to the vet.
His head into a hedgehog?
His face into a hedgehog, yeah.
What was he trying to do?
He.
He.
I don't know, just sniff on it.
Sniff it, I guess.
A little sniff.
So would you put some floppy ears on it?
Yes, you'd have to extend the ears.
When you sort of think about it,
I can't sort of think about...
I'd put some kind of
wagging device
on the tail.
Little motor.
Yeah, because cats...
Like a little metronome.
I'd attach a metronome
to the cat's tail
to make it wag.
Voice box?
Oh, yeah.
How would you make it sound
like it was barking?
Listen to me.
I haven't got a voice box.
You just fucking keep quiet. Yeah, exactly. I would you make it sound like it was barking? No, listen to me. I haven't got a voicebox. You just fucking keep quiet.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm struggling to sort of see how dogs...
Sound down its tongues?
Is it smooth?
No, dogs' tongues are quite...
They're smooth, aren't they?
Nah, they're rough.
Rough.
I think you find they're smooth.
Nah.
I've been looked by a dog quite recently.
Have you?
So I have a bit of that.
Tell us more.
How did you know it was a dog and not a cat disguise as well?
Exactly, I didn't
yeah.
In my private life
but yeah that's
yeah.
There you go
James I hope that
answers your question.
Don't put glue on
cats noses.
Any part of it.
Yeah.
Wood glue goes
clear after a while
so it would look
like it's nose is
all shiny like a
dog's.
My cat's nose is
shiny sometimes
if it's been
outside.
It's because
they're pissed.
I've got an email from Edward. Hello Edward. Do you look knows it's shiny sometimes. It's been outside. It was because I pissed. Yeah.
I got an email from Edward.
Hello Edward.
Dear Luke and Pete
off the back of the
KFC gravy chat in
the last couple of
episodes.
I thought I'd bring
to the table another
worrying peep behind
the service industry
curtain.
We spoke about gravy
a little while ago.
Yeah I remember.
Obviously KFC having
like little scraps and
stuff in the bottom
of the fryer.
It tastes delicious,
but it's apparently horrific.
Well, I had some chip shop curry, baby.
I love that.
But is it normal to put tiny chunks of fish in there?
Because there were definitely tiny chunks of fish in there.
So, it's really interesting you say that
because we recently started getting curry sauce
from our local fish and chip shop
and I find it goes really well with the fish,
not just the chips, the dip.
Obviously, it goes really well with the fish as well.
So I wouldn't be surprised if it's flavoured in some way.
Have a check.
And fish curry is a thing.
It's beautiful.
Yeah, have a check in your curry sauce
before you dip chips in it or whatever
that there is fish in it.
Because the person I was eating it with,
they said,
no, there's no fish in this.
I said, there is, there's fish.
I can taste it.
So maybe they do just put scraps in there
just to flavour it up a bit.
Yeah.
Lovely.
That's what gravy's all about, right?
My mum makes her gravy in the meat pan.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where she's roasted the meat.
So that's obviously getting a lot of meat in there.
Decent.
Ed Hodge says,
having worked in the kitchen of a bar
belonging to a large and famous chain,
I know about the shortcuts
that some of these places take.
However, the worst I've heard of
is in Wetherspoons,
where a friend of mine who once
worked there told me that the fried eggs are
delivered to the kitchen pre-cracked, pre-fried
and frozen, ready to
be heated up in the microwave.
There's no need for that.
I know, like, don't McDonald's
they get delivered like that?
Maybe they're just cooked in like a
circular kind of thing to make them
particularly uniform.
But frozen, ready to be heated up in the microwave.
That seems... The thing is...
It's the easiest thing in the world, surely,
to make an egg.
Out of all the fried breakfast items,
a fried egg, easiest.
Depends on the size of your microwave.
I'm thinking that if you've...
It's just laziness because I'm...
Obviously, I haven't got the details,
but I'm going to
stick my neck out
and say it probably
takes about three minutes
to fry an egg
if you've got a big
hot plate
which they will have
in the kitchen
you could do 15 of them
at the same time
hugely
what's the point of that
I can't really figure it out
Brexit Wetherspoons
they hate themselves
and they hate you
don't go in there
last time I went to
Wetherspoons
it made me sick
the beer made me sick
I had three pints in there
and it made me sick.
I actually literally
vomited the next day.
Lightweight.
It was continental strength
Belgian 12% lager.
I've been poisoned,
mother.
I've got an email there.
Luke,
to round us off.
What about this from Joe?
This is a really good one
and it's got so good
that I've written
a little note saying, is this true? Please get in touch and one. And it's got so good that I've written a little note saying,
is this true?
Please get in touch and confirm this because it's no disrespect to Joe.
I'm sure he is speaking the truth.
Yes.
But I would like to get this confirmed because it seems mad.
He says, hi guys.
I'm going to go straight into this one as it's a little lengthy,
but there's a place in Idaho known colloquially as the Yellowstone Zone of Death.
Oh no.
And due to the way justice must be served,
as stated in the US Constitution,
at this location,
it's technically possible to get away with any crime.
Here's a bit of scene setting.
The vast majority of Yellowstone is in Wyoming,
but a tiny sliver of land just crosses the border into Idaho,
and this is where things start to get interesting.
Let's say you do a little murder in the Idaho section.
A little bit of the murder.
Just a little bit.
Oh, a little bit of the murder.
The district court that oversees Yellowstone resides entirely within the state of Wyoming,
even though your murder location is in Idaho,
and this is the crux of the quirk.
If you're caught, which shouldn't bother you
because you can't be convicted,
you'd be arrested and taken to Wyoming to be tried.
The US Constitution, however,
demands that any trial should be held
in the state where the crime itself was committed,
which in this case should be Idaho.
So you demand your constitutional right
to be tried back in Idaho,
where they then take you because it's your legal right.
A local jury would then be called up, but herein lies the next problem. The constitution states that an impartial
jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed is required. In this
case, the state is Idaho, but the district is Wyoming. Wyoming is therefore eliminated and all
jurors must be called from the small 50 mile square region of Idaho. For you, the murderer,
this works out very well because zero people, no one
lived there.
It's federal land, no
one's allowed to live
there.
Therefore, unless you
allow them to try you
in Wyoming, which you
don't have to do, you
legally cannot be tried
at all.
That's insane.
All the best and
happy murdering, Joe.
I'm going to take you
there, Donaldson.
You know like the
system here at
Stakhanov headquarters,
HQ, stuff like the printer, stuff like the system here at Stakhanov headquarters, HQ,
stuff like the printer, stuff like the play-out iPads,
stuff like the capture device that records our beautiful tones right now.
The system's changed over the past couple of years.
So, you know, the things that worked about a year ago probably don't work now.
So we've had to update our documents and stuff.
Do you think the constitution is fit for purpose nowadays?
It just seems to be...
Well, it's got full of amendments, of course.
Yeah, I know, but just start again.
Just go, look, this is how we're going to do things.
Let's start with a new constitution that works in 2019.
Let's do it.
It's an interesting point because I've often thought that
the Ten Commandments, people talk about the Ten Commandments
and say how they're
amazing and they're
really kind of
a great way to live
and everything
and it always makes
me think
a couple of things
one is
have you read
the Ten Commandments
because a lot of them
are fucking irrelevant
right
like
thou shalt not
what is it
thou shalt not
make unto thee any graven image.
Yeah.
It doesn't really come up very often.
Thou shall not covet neighbour's wife.
That's problematic.
Thou shall not covet neighbour's slaves or animals.
Yeah.
Again, problematic.
Exactly.
A couple of them are good.
Thou shall not murder.
Thou shall not steal.
Remember the Sabbath day.
Keep it holy.
Yeah.
So, it's not really that relevant now.
Well, and even then,
there are 10 million different interpretations
of those particular laws
and 10 million ways of writing them
which infers different meanings.
And people will say,
oh yeah, but they're written by people in the Iron Age
and everything like that.
But that's not the point.
The point is there are several people,
probably millions of people in this world
that live their lives based on those things.
And you can think of a better list of commandments in about five minutes.
Treat people as you want to be treated.
Be kind. Be generous.
All these kind of things.
So perhaps you're onto something there.
But I would say the Constitution's got several amendments to it
and it probably does work.
It was designed to be an imperfect document.
It was designed to be knocked about and for people
to argue about it. That's kind of
one of the cornerstones of American democracy, I think.
But it only works, of course, I think, when you've got people in power and in place to implement it honestly and properly.
And of course, that doesn't happen now.
Because America doesn't have elections.
It has fucking auctions.
And that is hugely problematic.
However, I would like people to get in touch and tell us whether you can do
what Joe's suggesting
you can do there.
I don't want anyone
to do it.
Has anyone done it?
That would be the
next question.
That would be the
next question.
Has anyone tested
that particular thing?
I'd like to be a test
case.
If it goes well, I'm
good.
If it goes bad, I'm
going to be sentenced
to death.
Exactly.
So there you go.
High risk people.
Interesting email
though, nonetheless.
Hugely.
I would like to just have
one commandment
don't be a tit
and that covers everything
that does cover everything
bit rich
what do you mean
I'm not saying I'm following any of them
well hang on a minute
what
sometimes you are a tit
just because I've written them
doesn't mean I have to
you know
I'm just saying
that the whole
Christian faith
can be summed up
don't be a tit
that's
I mean that squares away
everything really doesn't it
don't be a tit not really because it depends mean, that squares away everything really, doesn't it?
Don't be a tit.
Not really,
because it depends on other people's interpretation
of how you...
Everyone's different,
aren't they?
Yeah, but what is...
What about treat people...
What is coveting?
Treat people as you wish
to be treated.
What is...
Yeah, don't be a tit.
Yeah, right.
You've condensed it
down to four words.
Yeah, don't be a tit.
And we all know
what this episode's
going to be called this week.
No tittery.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tit equals band. Tit equals band.
Tit equals band.
Right.
Let's get out of here, Luke, because we've got things to do.
We'll be back on Thursday with more.
