Starting point is 00:00:00 it's the return of the looking peach show it is thursday and we are in your ears we are tickling your ivories deep within your inner ear and it's a lovely place to be. Nice ear you've got here. It'd be a shame if your eardrum burst, wouldn't it? Ah! Ah! Watcher. Watcher. How's it going?
Starting point is 00:00:32 Starting off with a threat. Watcher. New listeners will be perturbed by that but regular listeners will see it as the idle, empty threat that it is. I get you. You've never really physically harmed another person, have you?
Starting point is 00:00:46 Not intentionally. I was getting manhandled by a Hungarian on Saturday. A man on the tube was very... wanted to shake my hand and he wanted to get Heathrow and he was
Starting point is 00:00:54 very drunk and then he just started just grabbing me and we kissed. He wanted to get you to Heathrow? Yeah. What happened after that?
Starting point is 00:01:01 I made good my escape. Sorry, sir. I need to chip off now. What have you been up to made good my escape. Sorry, sir. I need to chip off now. What have you been up to, Peter? All kinds of stuff. Preparing for tonight's big old Football Rumble Live up in Sheffield. Looking forward to that. I've not spent any time in Sheffield,
Starting point is 00:01:18 even though my favourite band Pulp are from there. Maybe there'll be a Jarvis Crocker Shrine up there and we won't know. Do you know why I've been there? I'll give you a clue. Why have you been there? Snooker. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Is that where the Crucible is? It is. Is it in Sheffield? Yeah. So that's where the best snooker place is in Sheffield. That's why.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Yeah. That's where it is. It's been there since the late 70s I think. I think the theatre we're playing tonight is right next to the Crucible I think.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Wonderful. Are you going to visit and have a look? Might have a little I think. I think the theatre we're playing tonight is right next to the Crucible, I think. Wonderful. Are you going to visit and have a look? Might have a little look around, yeah. I've been there when there's an actual snooker happening,
Starting point is 00:01:50 which is probably better. But yeah, I could go there again. Is there always a... It is a working theatre outside of that. Right, okay. It's like a crucible shape and it does like
Starting point is 00:01:58 blazing around and stuff. So they don't just keep the snooker table there? No. I'm afraid not, Peter, no. How do they... I mean, with the NFL at the Spurs stadium. They can't have the NFL there.
Starting point is 00:02:08 The NFL at the Spurs stadium, obviously there's been a lot of little mini documentaries, how they move the pitch in, how they move the pitch out and stuff, and how long they can keep the pitch underground. But yeah, I mean, how do they move that snooker table? Imagine if I played NFL at the Crucible.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I went to the NFL London launch party at the Spurs stadium how was that it was good they've got a huge they've got a huge special purpose built
Starting point is 00:02:32 NFL dressing rooms in the stadium okay oh so just for that as far as I'm aware they don't convert the Premier League the Spurs team
Starting point is 00:02:41 dressing rooms well I mean in an ideal situation yeah you would have a separate thing I guess they've got enough real estate I mean that an ideal situation yeah you would have a separate thing and I guess they've got enough real estate I mean that's just
Starting point is 00:02:47 annexing a meeting room isn't it so it's good nice do they have all mod cons in there yeah it's good yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:02:54 they had laid a floor down right and they had hung up different jerseys and kind of protected other areas of it so it wasn't kind of too
Starting point is 00:03:01 too sort of exposed but it was good there's quite a few famous people there as well actually what do you too exposed. But it was good. There's quite a few famous people there as well actually. What do you mean? Quite interesting. Because it was like
Starting point is 00:03:08 a launch party thing. Ah, right, okay. Who was there? I can't remember now. Boring. But anyway, it was fairly interesting. One other thing
Starting point is 00:03:17 that sort of caught my eye this week, did you see that does the name Alexei Leonov mean anything to you? Why, yes. Would you like to tell us why?
Starting point is 00:03:27 He discovered milk. It's correct. Thank you. Famously, in the fucking Bronze Age, he discovered milk. Yeah, discovered milk. Now, Alexei Leonov was the first person in history to spacewalk. Oh, he died, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Yeah, he did it in 1965. He died last week, aged 85. I was very impressed by the amount of medals he had on his chest. When you drill down... More medal than chest. I mean, that's an easy thing to say, the first person in history to spacewalk in 1965. When you drill down into what actually happened,
Starting point is 00:04:01 how they did it, and how, I guess, kind of, sort of, primitive the kind of technology was. It is unreal. I mean, tethered to the spaceship by a 16-foot cable, he floated above Earth for like 12 minutes.
Starting point is 00:04:15 His spacesuit started to inflate, so he couldn't get back into the spaceship. And, yeah, I think he eventually managed to squeeze himself in by letting some air out,
Starting point is 00:04:27 obviously, taking his gloves and shoes off, boots off, squeezing back in. Yeah, absolutely crazy what went on.
Starting point is 00:04:36 He said he was floating without any control at all. Getting back into the capsule was the most difficult moment of his life. His spacesuit began to balloon out of shape and the fabric began to stiffen. His most difficult moment of his life. His spacesuit began to balloon out of shape and the fabric began to stiffen.
Starting point is 00:04:47 His hands slipped out of his gloves, his feet came out of his boots and he could no longer get through the spaceship's airlock. The craft was hurtling towards Earth's shadow so he knew in a few minutes time he'd be plunged
Starting point is 00:04:57 into total darkness. He lost six kilograms doing the spacewalk. Wow. Because he let a load of stuff out of the suit and all this other stuff going on but the worst thing about the craziest thing about this right is that what he's done there is amazing it's it's groundbreaking it's set against the background
Starting point is 00:05:16 of the space race against the us you kind of think he obviously became a national hero him and the pilot a guy called pavel Beliyev, they were held as heroes when they got back, but they crash-landed in a forest in the Ural Mountains and had to wait three days to be rescued.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I'll be in a space. It's the last thing I need. So, you know, you see the footage, I don't know about you, but when you hear of the Apollo sort of spacecraft
Starting point is 00:05:42 coming back, pictures in my mind are it landing in the Pacific Ocean with the parachutes parachute there's a ship next to them and they pick them up these guys have to wait three days to be picked up it was uh whenever you sort of see those kind of early um certainly on the soviet side uh exploratory missions it's like it's a bit more scattergun a bit more cavalier expendier. But he apparently went on to become a much celebrated and quite successful
Starting point is 00:06:08 artist. And he a self-portrait of his space walk. He used to sketch a lot of his fellow astronauts. And apparently
Starting point is 00:06:17 he had quite a life. So good on him. Go well. Fate has broken his stride and he's left this veil of tears. But what a life he led. He's gone back up
Starting point is 00:06:25 yeah exactly gone back up absolutely I thought that was fascinating another thing I wanted to bring up with you old diggory is I got this thing
Starting point is 00:06:35 in my mind last week things that people always say that I don't think anyone knows if they're true or not and I'd like our listenership to tell us
Starting point is 00:06:43 by emailing hello at lukeandpeach.com I've got two examples i'm sure you can think of some if not now you'd better think of some for monday and i've got a couple two things here when people visit your house and they don't get an immediate reaction from your pet they always say and they always say this oh uh yeah he can probably smell my cat or my dog or my gerbil or something is that is that real um well yeah because they're quite territorial those animals aren't they so i've done about the or my dog or my gerbil or something. Is that real? Well, yeah, because they're quite territorial
Starting point is 00:07:07 those animals, aren't they? So I don't know about the gerbil bit. How do we know they can definitely smell another animal? Because that's all dogs spend. Dogs in particular spend all of their time just...
Starting point is 00:07:18 Sniffing. Sniffing, isn't it? Pee-meal. But what would that be a reason for a cat not to like you? Well, yeah, I mean, that could be a reason. You could not to like you? Well, yeah, I mean, that could be a reason.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You could smell of a dog or you could smell of a different animal and you could, you know, you could upset the cat. Right, I want to know for sure. I want to know for sure.
Starting point is 00:07:33 And secondly, something people always, there's two things people always say when you announce or you're seen to have a cold. Right. Right. Can you tell me what they are?
Starting point is 00:07:44 Um, uh, what if, I won't go near you, I won't. Right. Can you tell me what they are? Um, uh, what if, I won't go near you, I won't shake your hand. Yeah, there's a bit of that, but one is,
Starting point is 00:07:52 oh, there's a lot of that going around at the moment. Yeah, yeah, What does that fucking mean? It doesn't mean anything. Well,
Starting point is 00:07:56 there's, yeah, there's a lot of people with colds. Yeah, but there probably always is. There probably always is a lot of people with colds.
Starting point is 00:08:00 No, well, there's certain times of the year where colds are more prevalent because it's a virus, isn't it? So, like, people would, you know, it would be shared around.
Starting point is 00:08:08 I think people say that even if there isn't. Yeah, I'd have that. Yeah. And the second one is they always say three days coming, three days staying,
Starting point is 00:08:14 three days going. Don't they? Is that true? Don't they? Yeah. Three days coming, three days staying. Now, I find it one day coming
Starting point is 00:08:22 and then it's there and then if it's a light cold, it's one day there and then about three days recovery, I find it one day coming, and then it's there. And then if it's a light call, it's one day there, and then about three days recovery, I would say. I find it quite random. Random. I find, like, if sometimes, if you pile on the vitamin C and the zinc and you look after yourself,
Starting point is 00:08:37 you can shake it off in a couple of days. But if it's a really bad one, it can stick around for ages. I know I like people say that taking vitamins is a misnomer, but I've been slamming back my centrum these past couple of years, and I've not really had that many colds. Because London, I was getting a cold every bloody month, it seemed like. I also do get the flu jab at Christmas, though, because I'm an athmetic. You were also, but you were ill last week.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Yeah, it's because I drank loads of beer for three, four days on the trot and ate loads of chicken legs. Yeah. Not chicken wings, chicken legs. That'll do it, mate. Yeah. I had my chicken wings yesterday
Starting point is 00:09:16 that had licorice glaze. Yeah, you may have mentioned it. High fives for that. Any good? Yeah, very good. Big,
Starting point is 00:09:22 big fan of that. We'll go to them again. Yeah. Fantastic. All right, well, listen, if you've got anything that people always say that. Any good? Yeah, very good. Big, big fan of that. We'll go to them again. Yeah. Fantastic. All right, well, listen, if you've got anything that people always say that you're wondering, one, if it's true or not,
Starting point is 00:09:30 or two, just generally kind of annoys you, then do let us know. Peter, let's go and have a little break, and after that we're going to do some emails because we've got quite a lot to get through this week, or this Thursday, I should say. All right. The problem appears to be that we haven't
Starting point is 00:09:46 got our photo ID to try and travel to Scotland, which, as far as I can remember, was in the British Isles. What can we do? We're utterly hamstrung by these thick-headed people wearing orange suits.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Ooh la la, that guy is spicy. He is spicy. Spicy. I should have said this first bit, but you know I was building a computer last week and I got very emotionally invested. I forgot to ask you about this, sorry mate. Thermal paste, a lot of all that business.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I think I bought three motherboards in the end, three processors, two power supplies, and it cost me a ridiculous amount of money because I was trying to figure out what component was broken through a series of guess-whose style. Well, let's go back to the start. Why are you doing this? Because I need a new computer.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Why don't you just buy one off the shelf? Well, because it's more expensive. If you get it yourself, it's cheaper. How much cheaper? £500. Really? Yeah. How much would you be looking,
Starting point is 00:10:45 what's your total budget for a PC then? Well, in this case, it's about cracking on for two grand. Right. But the processor, if you buy everything in an all-in-one, like an all-in-one tower, like someone has to,
Starting point is 00:10:56 there's labour costs involved. Right. And I've always put together my own PCs and I've got a case, so the case will work again for another PC. Ah, you just use that as the shell. You just use that as the shell and
Starting point is 00:11:06 just swap out the components. But the problem was... Do you think you ever had full sex with a woman? Well, if I did,
Starting point is 00:11:13 I've got the shell haven't I? No, carry on. So what does a thermal paste do again? I always get confused.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Thermal paste transfers heat from processor to heat sink slash fan slash pump depending on what you've got. Fascinating item isn't it, thermal paste transfers heat from processor to uh heat sink slash fan slash pump depending on what you've got how you dissipate this item isn't it thermal paste was a fascinating item but the actual component that you buy needs a heat dissipator because otherwise it would just fry itself right which seems as a component it is destined to die if left alone if it doesn't have a piece of machinery
Starting point is 00:11:45 on top of it it is destined to die because it gets too hot it's just really weird is it like Build-A-Bear those Build-A-Bear shops a little bit yeah
Starting point is 00:11:54 you choose your own components with more unhappiness yeah with more unhappiness and more chances of failure and probably a bit more expensive as well yeah
Starting point is 00:12:01 which is very upsetting that it just well now I have too many motherboards, too many processors. The problem was actually just a small cable in the power supply, which is the cheapest part
Starting point is 00:12:12 of the situation. Always the way. A $5 piece in a two grand machine. Very upsetting. So what have you got now? About three computers? I was having an emotional episode. Yes, I've got about three computers
Starting point is 00:12:21 in varying degrees of completeness. But I've started to send the pieces back. It turns out some of the, not the big Amazons, but the small mom and pop shops that I got some of the components from, they're actually a bit sniffy about taking stuff back. They're like, oh, Pete, you better not damage this motherboard. Can you take a picture of the pins on the motherboard? I'm like, how dare you?
Starting point is 00:12:43 Right. And I did check the motherboard. I have bent a couple of pins so you have like customer rights though yeah but I mean yeah but if they sort of say
Starting point is 00:12:51 well you bent the pins there so that's not that's not what you're supposed to do and that's why it's faulty what are you going to be using the PC for general productivity and gaming
Starting point is 00:13:00 because I mean editing live show videos is what it's spent last five months doing. Is it powerful enough for that? I didn't realise what
Starting point is 00:13:10 a slouch my PC was until I started doing some 3D rendering. It's been a long time since I did any 3D studio work. Got back into it and yeah it takes quite a
Starting point is 00:13:19 long time. What kind of processing power does the one you've got now have then? I9 baby. What does that mean? Top of the tree.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Is it? Best you can get. I'll show you the baby. What does that mean? Top of the tree. Is it? Best you can get. I'll show you the case it comes in like a weird kind of crystal. Yeah. I9. How much does that cost?
Starting point is 00:13:32 450 quid. And how long would that be the sort of bleeding edge for? That'll do me for another three years I reckon. Oh really? Yeah. But by then there'll be
Starting point is 00:13:39 like a much better one. Yeah it can't be all year there always is. Blimey man. Blimey O'Reilly. How's the gaming chair? Gaming chair's still... I've noticed there's quite a lot of fluff
Starting point is 00:13:48 and detritus bits of old chips that have been caught on the side of it. That's why you need the infant chip ball helmet, mate. Depressing. That's why I need the infant... There was a couple of people who tweeted me today, actually, saying that I'm a new father and I never realised how important,
Starting point is 00:14:01 how necessary the infant chip ball helmet would be. It could have been. You're misunderstood in your own time. I know. Someone will find that patent when I die and go wow. But it wasn't granted was it? It wasn't granted because I didn't supply enough imagery. That's why I'm getting the computer so I can build a 3D representation of what it is. Do it. That'd be great.
Starting point is 00:14:17 If you got the patent granted for that mate that'd be your fortune made I'm telling you. Right. At some point we did promise some emails. It's hello at lukeandpeatshow.com for that. Alexandria's been in touch. Fantastic name, Alexandria. Very grand.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Very enjoyable. She says, howdy y'all. In episode 199.58, you talk about odd competitions. I think we were talking about stone skimming, weren't we, Pete? Yes. Alexandria says, the Texas Trappers and Fur Hunters Association have a cast iron skillet
Starting point is 00:14:47 toss every year the participants females only toss a skillet do you know what a skillet is Pete it's like a heavy saucepan
Starting point is 00:14:55 like a frying pan what a weird thing to ask me I just wondered put on the skillet put on the lid fill my pockets full of shot and in bread
Starting point is 00:15:03 mama loves a shot ninja we should sing that at school great weird where did you go to school again the deep south Odessa Texas
Starting point is 00:15:09 yeah Jackson Mississippi 1850 yeah Alex says the participants females only toss a skillet and then the distance is measured
Starting point is 00:15:18 the furthest I've been able to toss it is 67 feet wow which is the furthest for my age bracket of 30 to 35. That's amazing. She says she's 32.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Really enjoyed the podcast and abroad in Japan as well. Thank you for all you do. It helps pass the work day. I love having an age bracket. That's funny. But a cast iron skillet is quite a heavy implement.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Oh, I love cast iron restoration. I've probably spoken about this before, but one of my, one of the great joys on YouTube is just watching men, and again, it is usually men,
Starting point is 00:15:49 going around cast iron kind of swap meets, basically, just big yard sales in America, finding old bits of cast iron, this coveted cast iron, heavy pan work, and just restoring it, just spending hours and hours and hours uh with an angle grinder grinding it down repolishing it retreating it and and making it um a new a new product oh it's it's so cathartic you really are a man pete who has embraced the internet and all
Starting point is 00:16:19 it brings like fully i'm not create i'm just consuming that's you know i think other people as a creator i'm i've lost that part of my mind that creates and, I'm just a consumer. I think other people are creators. I've lost that part of my mind that creates and I've just become a consumer and it very much coincided with me
Starting point is 00:16:32 paying £10 a month for a YouTube premium which is a great product but it just means that you can consume more YouTube quicker because there are fewer adverts.
Starting point is 00:16:41 There are no adverts, right? No adverts, yeah. And do you think you'd ever, would have ever become aware of a cast iron community?
Starting point is 00:16:48 No. If it wasn't for the internet. No, God no, God no. What do you reckon you'd have been doing now? Bearing in mind I have no interest in cooking, I don't have any pans, I got a couple of, I got a wok,
Starting point is 00:16:56 got a hot wok and that's about it. When's the last time you used a wok? A long time ago, I can't remember the last time I cooked, to be honest. Tell us when the last time you cooked a meal in your own home and what it was. I think it was...
Starting point is 00:17:07 I made my own holiday sauce for some Eggs Benedict. Did you? Yeah. That's very nice. Holiday sauce is very easy to make. Is it? People don't bother because you can just buy it in a tin. I've never made it.
Starting point is 00:17:19 But through necessity is the mother of creation, etc. Do you not ever cook for your significant other I don't really say her that much so
Starting point is 00:17:30 and also I'm not a great cook so yeah but no one's a great cook really are they I mean my wife's excellent
Starting point is 00:17:37 but I make a mean fish pie mama likes a nice codpiece that does not swim in grease mama make a mean drumstick
Starting point is 00:17:45 without no oil slick. Very good. Is that Crisp and Dry? Mama preaches that it's great because it's low in saturates because with Crisp and Dry food stays Crisp and Dry. Yeah, very good.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I can never remember lyrics, but I can remember lyrics to adverts inexplicably. You do realise that when you cook for someone, it's not just about whether you're a good cook or not, it's about the fact that you've done it
Starting point is 00:18:04 because it's nice for them to have it. Yeah, you know my house isn't very inhabitable at the best of times but I do like I enjoy it I definitely enjoy cooking.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Are you still thinking about moving? Yeah. I was getting put on hold for a little while just because I told my landlord look, if you're going to
Starting point is 00:18:21 put rent up by like 20 quid I need the house painted and they went yeah, alright they're going to put rent up by like 20 quid I need the house painted and they went yeah alright they're going to come around this date they never did and now I'm like I don't really want the painters in my house it's a pain in the arse
Starting point is 00:18:33 is it individual or is it a landlord or is it a company it's a letting agent they are imbecilic yeah dreadful Pete do us an email it's your turn oh goodness hello to I'm not going to do us an email it's your turn oh goodness hello to bibi I'm not going to do that one
Starting point is 00:18:47 because it's about tech issues and we've had quite enough of that quite frankly yeah Ben Dyn Smith says or rather asks I'm catching up
Starting point is 00:18:55 with the episodes and I have a guest for the national treasure that likes eating hot oranges made by his hired help oh tell the story again very briefly
Starting point is 00:19:02 I can't really remember it but Mark from Wrestle.me told a story he was working with somebody what you'd call very briefly. I can't really remember it, but Mark from WrestleMania told a story. He was working with somebody, what you'd call a national treasure. I wouldn't call him a national treasure, actually. I know exactly who it is. Would you?
Starting point is 00:19:14 I think to the general populace that he would be, but yeah, I think he's got some darkness in him. Okay. He's almost Keyesian. He's approaching Keystown population. Why can't we just name him? I guess you can now. Who is it?
Starting point is 00:19:27 What's his name? Eamon Holmes. Eamon Holmes. Yeah. Apparently he likes to eat an orange that's been warmed up. It's deviant behaviour. That's first point of call.
Starting point is 00:19:36 A hard orange. Give me a fucking hard orange. But the second point of call on it though, I think Pete, he's onto something because I find that... I wouldn't trust him
Starting point is 00:19:44 to be eating a hand grenade. What if it just gets too hot and I wouldn't trust him to be like eating a hand grenade what if it just gets too hot it'd be like a really kind of natural version of like a McDonald's
Starting point is 00:19:52 apple pie just burn your mouth to shit but maybe it's because he's got sensitive teeth and oranges have been kept in the fridge
Starting point is 00:19:58 can be a bit cold can't they yeah fair dues yeah that's alright who does the emailer guess it is he thought it was Chris Tarrant
Starting point is 00:20:04 it's not it's not in ballpark yeah true have He thought it was Chris Tarrant. It's not. It's not in Ballpark. Yeah, true. Have you ever worked with Chris Tarrant? No, never saw him. Kind of a passing cross. He stopped just as I started working on XFM and he handed over the reins to Johnny Vaughn.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Vaughn, yeah. I remember Vaughn. Johnny Vaughn was always really good to me. Yeah, nice bloke. He's very... He knows what he wants. Oh, yeah. And he has been known to check stuff about.
Starting point is 00:20:35 He's not to the level of Clarkson or anything. No. When I first started at Capital, some of the breakfast stuff, show stuff, I had to do a lot of promotion and stuff. One of the jobs he would give to me would be to stand
Starting point is 00:20:48 at the door of the toilet make sure no one was coming while he had a cheeky cigarette in the bathroom nice simpler times it was 2004 guys if you walked upstairs
Starting point is 00:20:56 to be honest the smogging ban hadn't even come into effect in bars at that point I remember that I remember sort of coming up the stairs and Vaughan was coming
Starting point is 00:21:04 downstairs and he went never grabbed grabbed never at that point I remember that I remember sort of coming up the stairs and Vaughan was coming downstairs and he went never grabbed never cross someone on the stairs I was like
Starting point is 00:21:12 we're at work we've got to get places Johnny he used to say I remember he said to me once in the canteen hey Luke
Starting point is 00:21:20 if anyone ever asks you if you take drugs say every day every day and every day. And he was in the middle of eating a yoghurt at the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Because remember that guy who worked in the canteen at Capitol? He was kind of a character. Was he South African? No. Max? Yes. He wasn't South African. What?
Starting point is 00:21:37 He wasn't South African. He was definitely South African. Was he? Yeah, he was definitely South African. I always remember on a particular day because Thursday was always curry day yeah
Starting point is 00:21:46 him and Doris yeah Doris was great but Tuesday or Wednesday it used to be sausage you could have sausage mashed potatoes and beans and he always used to
Starting point is 00:21:55 he'd say oh what do you want and he'd say that and he'd go bangers mash and beans bangers mash and beans and I remember him being a cockney
Starting point is 00:22:02 but you're telling me you're South African yeah you're South African bloody hell that's ruined my day that is that reminds me when I used to work
Starting point is 00:22:07 on Sean Keaveney's show because he used to do Fridays because Lauren didn't want to do the full the full week and he used to send me
Starting point is 00:22:16 upstairs for an egg an egg was it an egg sandwich yeah two fried eggs buttered toast hurt me with a Tabasco hurt me
Starting point is 00:22:26 fucking fucking hurt me that's brilliant and ever since that every time I put Tabasco on it I think of Sean Keegan it's weird aren't it every time I
Starting point is 00:22:34 every time almost I go to the toilet I met a guy who used to work for Roberts Digital Radios yeah and he they make quite beautiful machines
Starting point is 00:22:43 they do make quite beautiful machines retro machinery, retro DABs. But he told me that he once got a job interview and the bloke for some reason
Starting point is 00:22:55 followed him into the toilet after he was coming out of the toilet. Followed him in and checked whether he left the toilet seat up or down.
Starting point is 00:23:02 That's weird. It is a bit weird but he sort of said you've left the toilet seat down, I'm giving you the job. It was up or down. That's weird. It is a bit weird, but he sort of said, you've left the toilet seat down, I'm giving you the job. It was the last test. That's weird. This is weird, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:23:10 It's weird, isn't it? If people want any more information on radio personalities, email them, because I tell you what, we probably won't be talking at some point. Keveny was always a lovely fella. Say again?
Starting point is 00:23:19 Sean Keveny. Yeah, all diamonds. All diamonds. Yeah, Keveny was lovely. Let's make this very clear. They're not all diamonds. No, no. Some of them are absolute wrong-uns. Yeah, Keveney was lovely. Let's make this very clear. They're not all diamonds. No, no. Some of them are
Starting point is 00:23:27 absolute wrong-ins. Yeah, they are. I'm still at opposite one. What about this from Ant? I'm just saying that now I always put the toilet seat down and I always think
Starting point is 00:23:35 of that man. Isn't that weird that I've associated I always think of him? How well do you know him? Not very well at all. I've met him like three times. Isn't that weird?
Starting point is 00:23:44 It's strange. Your mind doesn't anchor things like that danny wallace always said that he uh read that carlos santana said that a bath should when you get into a bath you shouldn't feel hot or cold it should be exactly the temperature of your body and every time he gets into a bath he thinks about carlos santana that's also pretty strange oh shit yeah good what i just remembered something I got for Danny Wallace oh good old
Starting point is 00:24:09 organised me that was you live remembering something on the show live remembering gotta write some gags for the golden joysticks and
Starting point is 00:24:16 what are the big video game stories Luke let's blue sky this on air you're writing gags for Danny Wallace geese I do it every year geese

Starting point is 00:24:30 World if you want brilliant I'll have a think about it Ant from Alicante's got in touch
Starting point is 00:24:36 Anticalde I mean look let's be honest he's emailed in about this subject he lives in Alicante he's clearly a
Starting point is 00:24:43 Brit living in Spain and I'm just going to read the email nice look I do actually love the show
Starting point is 00:24:49 but fucking hell Luke it's pronounced Harwich or at worst Harwich Christ that's having an American wife for you by the way Harwich how did Leicester
Starting point is 00:24:57 get on this weekend presumably he's talking about the fact that I mentioned Harwich and it's pronounced Harwich or Harwich well you know what I've never actually fucking been there well I look I'm a man who the fact that I mentioned Harwich and it's pronounced Harwich or Harwich. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:25:06 I've never actually fucking been there. Well, I'm a man who on, pretty much every time I do a travel bulletin, I get something fucking wrong. Yeah. Name your place name so normal people can fucking pronounce it. Ridiculous. That's Ant from Alicant.
Starting point is 00:25:21 The great example of this and how tricky English can be is that on the train line down from, the Victoria train line down to Portsmouth, it's a kind of a more elongated countryside route. It's not the fast service from London Waterloo. Where is it? Yeah, because I love the gaff, don't it?
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yeah. It goes through two stations, one after the other. One is spelt C-O-S-H-A-M. And the next one is spelt... Cosham. Yeah, and the next one is spelt B-O-S-H-A-M. Bosham.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Bosam. Cosham and Bosham. Cosham and Bosam. Bosam. It's pronounced Bosam. There's absolutely no fucking reason for it. So take your harwich and shove it up your fucking alicante. That's what I say.
Starting point is 00:26:04 But thanks for getting in touch Alan and we appreciate the listenership a rare spot of Lukemore belligerence I agree with yeah I've got
Starting point is 00:26:12 another email very very fondly from Lou who says alright lads and a bit of a catch up on 199.55 Luke asked Pete
Starting point is 00:26:20 what's the most amount of drinks he would buy for people after a live show and Pete said four do Do you remember that? Uh, no, but yeah. It was disconcertingly small in terms of round, because I've seen you buy rounds much bigger than that.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Okie dokie. Anyway, Lou says, I like a bit of Sunday Morning Kitchen with Tim Lovejoy. Speaking of wrongs. And a good watch when lazing around in bed. And The Script were on it. You know the band The Script? And said they broke the world record for the biggest round of drinks because they bought one for 8,000 people
Starting point is 00:26:49 at a gig which cost £22,000. Surely Pete could beat that on his absolute radio wages. He could. He could. But that's the script. They've got the world record apparently and anyone who's heard their music
Starting point is 00:26:59 would probably do with a pint. That's the thing though, isn't it? I quite like the script, lads, because they're nice. Certainly the ones who isn't the lead singer because they're the ones who gets offered for an interview with Absolute Radio. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I always like those lads. Are they a big deal? I can't really figure it out. They were big for a while, weren't they? Did the guy, was he involved in some kind of reality show? I believe he was on The Voice. He's got tall hair.
Starting point is 00:27:23 He looks like the bloke out of The Bravery. I don't know why the bloke from The Bravery should be any kind of indie touchstone I believe he was on The Voice. He's got tall hair. He looks like the bloke out of The Bravery. I don't know why the bloke from The Bravery should be any kind of indie touchstone for me, but it is. He's got very tall hair. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:27:33 It's an honest mistake. He's like a B-Jams version of... Who's the bloke? This love has taken it out of me. She said goodbye. Mama likes a nice car piece
Starting point is 00:27:45 his love has taken its toll yeah who's that oh it's very oh maroon 5 maroon 5 they're like a
Starting point is 00:27:51 bjams version of maroon 5 okay bjams a what version bjams bjams I think it's a

We'd never had it in the North, but it is a... I've never heard of it. I'm from the South. It's funny, what you think of South, I think of as North.
