But don't sweat, the chat is still as electric as ever and this week includes talk about trying to be cool in front of younger people, Reebok Pumps, and Pete's inability to stop talking about Milwaukee.There's plenty of your stories too, and to have one considered for the show yourself, drop us a line: [e-mail]***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Welcome to the Luke and Pete show. My name is Pete Donaldson here in London's Soho district. And I'm Luke Moore in the beautiful state of Vermont. And I'm Luke Moore in the beautiful state of Vermont. I Vermont believe it. I don't believe it. I can't believe this has actually worked. Obviously, the test case is me and Chris Broad doing the Abronge Man podcast, but you sound so much more clearer

and so much more responsive to my talking, Lukey. Well, in Vermont, the air is clear, the water is clear, and the broadcasting information is clear as well, Pete Donson. I mean, I'll give you a couple of bits of information, a couple of bits of trivia about the state of Vermont. The official beverage of Vermont, it's milk. Hang on, just milk? Yeah, just milk.

The official food? You can't just have milk. The official food is an apple pie. Again, apple pie, that's just American things. They drink milk and they eat apple pie. Outrageous. The one that really confuses me is the official fossil of Vermont is the beluga whale.

It's just baffling. Absolutely baffling. Vermont water. How much water is there in Vermont? The water's very nice up in Vermont because, you know what, it comes straight where I am, and I'm in the middle of the Green Mountains, which is a beautiful part of the state,

and it's not too far into the state. It's not that far north, but the water filters down off the mountains. It's very soft, so you don't need an awful lot of soap to build up a lava. Yeah. Well, I mean, it looks like... I'm looking at a big St. Albans town.

That's quite exciting. Cumberland Head. This is all in Vermont. Oh, yeah. A lot of places are named after the English people. The town I'm in at the moment, it's actually a very small place. It's called Manchester.

Okay. It's just weird that like new hampshire and like new york is a bit of a piss about in it because like it gives like it starts where new york the city is and then goes all the way up like that they've just made it up they've just given it an access to the waters and this is new york and next to it is pennsylvania it's ridiculous i've just noticed where scranton is is on The Office. Nice, exciting. Do you want a quick little update of all the things that have been happening in the small town of Manchester, Vermont, this week?

Okay, have you got the little newspaper with you, the Vermont Times? You know me, mate. I'm an absolute newshound. I've managed to sniff out a few stories already. I might give you some later for next week as well, because I'm still going to be here next week. Right.

An animal, presumably a deer, has eaten all the pumpkins from the pumpkin patch in the back garden. Nice, okay, good. Yeah, just a few short weeks after Halloween. And in a move that has shocked local residents, the supermarket has

in fact not been extended in size. Something that everyone agrees is badly needed. And there will be a TJ Maxx being built next door instead. Okay. But will the shop fit in aesthetically with the village architecture? We're not sure, but do check back for updates. Will the supermarket still have enough milk for the milk heads of Vermont?

Yeah, I mean, that's difficult to say. Listen, if you are going to stick your stall out there and say, our official beverage is milk, you best not run out of milk. Exactly. It's very embarrassing. I like, I've just typed in Vermont man into Google. We've got three stories come up over the past couple of days. 16 hours ago, Valley News, a Vermont man who sought sex from minors

online going to prison. As he should do. As he should do. As he should do, yeah. Listen, just because you're a Vermont pal doesn't mean you can be a pedo. We've still got laws here. Second story, Vermont man indicted for hate crime. These are the first three stories that come up, Luke. I can't change the news.

But finally, one day ago, Vermont man charged with poaching salmon. So that, unsurprising, or rather surprisingly, is the most tame story of the three. Peter, you've lost the news. But when you say poaching salmon, presumably he's actually stolen it. He's not bought it and then poached it in a pan. You can't eat it like that.

Did you not know our national, our food is apple pie? You can only ever eat apple pie. Well, also, the joke's on him because the official fish of Vermont is the brook trout. Oh, right, okay. Which is a wonderful fish. Well, the man was actually charged by stealing salmon from a brook,

so it was a brook salmon, effectively, near a fish hatchery in Grand Isle, which does sound like it's shooting fish from the barrel, really. You know, he's found a hatchery and he's getting involved. I think if people who tune into this episode and read the synopsis before they listen and think, oh, I wonder how, if the show's going to be any less kind of inane because Luke's in Vermont,

they've now had those fears relaxed because it's going to be exactly the same nonsense. Yeah, exactly, except most of the stories will be about Vermont. What have you been doing in my absence, by the way? Has your heart healed its savage wounds or are you still pretty upset that I've gone? Still raging against the night. I spent all day with some rappers, Luke.

I've fallen in with some rappers. Tell me more. I was doing a shoot for there's a new video game system called Google Stadia

which is an always online kind of video game system where you can play on your phone you can play on your laptop and then

on the move and then once you if you get into the end of a boss maybe on Zelda or that kind of game you can just pause it

move over to a your TV at home, and it doesn't lose your progress. You can just continue from whence you left. You don't have to worry about checkpoints or save files. It just saves it for you, and you can just pick it up whenever you're on the move. But the actual day was me wrangling with that particular system, but also working with the rapper's Lady Leisure. Lady Leisure.

Oh, yeah, she's great. She's good. Nice girl. Yeah. And also... I think it's pronounced Lady Leisure. Yeah. No, I think it's like Leisure.

Leisure. Like as in Alicia. Okay, right. I've spent the whole day with her, Luke. Crying out loud. Sorry, mate, yeah. And also, who was it now? Let me find who it was.

He's a big guy, and he'd beat me up if he ever thought that I'd forgotten his name. I mean, you literally just come from filming with him all day and you already can't remember his name. I was giving it the big list, because I was, for some reason in my head, Biz Markie was in my head.

Obviously, it's not Biz Markie. Is it AJ Tracy? No, it's Lethal Bizzle. It was Lethal Bizzle. Oh, Bizzle. Bizz Bizz. So I was hanging out with Bizz Bizz and Shosha,

and it was good. They were both very, very nice, but that's what I'd be. So I'll follow him with some rappers. I'm best friends with rappers now. What's that going to mean for your personal brand, do you think?

Well, I mean, I'm obviously going to start wearing, I mean, they were both wearing some fantastic street wear. I'm obviously going to be wearing I mean they were both wearing some fantastic street wear I'm obviously going to be getting involved in that I'm going to be standing outside the skate shops waiting for the drops buying like little supreme tops

are you a sneaker head now? I'm a sneaker head now yeah I own upwards of five pairs of sneakers that's what us sneaker heads are about three Adidas Samba varying degrees of disrepair, and some Nike Air Max and also Reebok The Pump, Pump It Up. They're my five specials.

I used to love Reebok Pumps. I remember begging for Reebok Pumps for probably all year to have a pair for Christmas. Do you reckon if you could find a pristine pair of Reebok pumps and get take a scalpel to it open up the pump and inhale

the 1980s air because that would that air would have been put into those trainers a long long time ago no I don't think so I don't think that's true because when you

there was a little button on the side that would let all the pump out yeah you'd pump again. Yeah, but you could find... It's drawing the air from somewhere, though, right? Yeah, exactly.

So you could find ones that have... The last got pumped up in the 1980s. How would you know? What? How would you know? Is it a certificate of authenticity? How do you know anything in this goddamn world? Gosh, darn it.

Yeah. True. I'm surprised Reebok pumps haven't made a bigger comeback, I'll be honest. Because Air Jordans have obviously never really gone away do you remember la gear regulator as well they were pump ups did they have lights in them or were they just pump ups no la la gear lights was like a separate thing there was a little known um brand of like trainers that had pumps as well called la gear regulator i'm pretty sure i had a pair of them as well do you remember british

knights i remember british knights yeah they were they were pretty extreme not a lot of people had those if i remember rightly they didn't and there was also a brand a few years after that called acupuncture who were like real big bulky trainers normally in dark colours for like proper drum and bass heads like Taz and Beefy types we wear like acupuncture trainers man are they your only reference

to drum and bass Taz and Beefy no I used to live with a drum and bass DJ at university you used to live with one a drum and bass DJ yeah it's unwelcome innit

in a halls of residence or a private house you know living yeah it's unwelcome isn't it in a halls of residence or a private house you know living with a DJ unwelcome at the best of times especially aspiring DJs as well

when I was a kid well I was like I was like 19 at the time I actually quite enjoyed the status that came along with it I mean but obviously

as a man approaching 40 I would not welcome it now I mean the guy was spinning like basically mixing drum and bass records pretty much 12 hours a day in the same building that i lived in yeah and i remember him having a massive plastic literally a plastic carrier bag of weed nice okay dip into like so it was a different world but um i would not relish that now i don't even know if drum and bass has even reached the beautiful state of vermont you should bring it you should say this is what us english people are listening to constantly um we can't

get enough of it 2020 yeah exactly the um you know what i got i got i got a message on instagram uh today i was i posted a couple of pictures of a mum on Insta, and someone replied saying, oh, I'm a massive Ramble fan. My mum owns the Woodcraft store in town. Go and say hello. Ah. I was like, well, I'm not going to do that,

because that would be weird. Why not? We're going to be weird, isn't it? Well, look. Hello. Your son likes a podcast that I make. In the same way that you are, you know, helping us out and doing a show,

Arms Across the Water and all that, Arms Across the Atlantic, in the same situation, I'm sort of saying that you should be helping out that guy who's probably not seen his mum for a little while. I don't know where he is. How do you want him to move down the road? He could also see her quite a lot.

You never know. Yeah, I think so. I don't see why not. And don't forget also, I'm in Bernie Sanders territory here. Are you? Is this his home state? I thought he was New York till he dies.

New York? He's a senator from Vermont. Oh, right. Okay, is he? Okay. I don't know if he's from New York originally. He sounds like he might be. Yeah, he does sound pretty.

He's got a very strong New York accent, doesn't he? Oh, yeah. He's from Brooklyn. He sounds like he might be. Yeah, he does sound pretty. He's got a very strong New York accent, doesn't he? Oh, yeah, he's from Brooklyn. He was born in Brooklyn, but he represents Vermont, yeah. Yeah, I love your job. So what's been happening? Burnley country.

What's been happening in the house then? Have you helped around the house? Some manly tasks? Yeah, we're prepping for Thanksgiving at the moment. When's that, Thursday?

Yeah, I'm doing a lot of helping by literally coming upstairs into one of the bedrooms and making a show with you while everyone else is downstairs cooking well look

so Biz Markie said no to the whole show so this is what we're going to have to do we'll have to do it but the thing is this house I'm staying in

is so big that I can disappear and no one really knows where I am how long do you reckon you could hide for realistically what in this house yeah without anyone finding you probably big that I can disappear and no one really knows where I am. How long do you reckon you could hide for, realistically? What, in this house?

Yeah. Without anyone finding you? So for people who, well, pretty much everyone listening who has no idea what this house is, it's probably, a good reference point for it would be the house in Home Alone. Yeah, okay, right, yeah. So it's like, it's big, it's got a massive basement, it's got three storeys. I mean, if you can include the garden in this, I reckon I could hide for a week and never be found. How honoured is your father-in-law

to have a looking piece you're half recorded, 51% recorded in his own family home? Well, it's actually my uncle and aunt-in-law's house. Oh, I see. I was in my father-in-law's house earlier and earlier across the weekend and he's and by the way he said that um when he came to visit before you grabbed him and put pulled him into the studio and made him do a couple of luke and pete show jingles and he's never heard them be put on the show so you need to dig them out from somewhere mate or you're gonna be in big

trouble he must have just um that's true actually would i have mark would now in your memory of working with me, would I have written an adequate explanatory title? Description. Description, so that I could find those files again. So basically, to put a reference on that, a popular cultural reference on the possibility of us finding those pieces of audio again, it would be like at the start of The Matrix, where Agent Smith comes into the police officer and says,

Lieutenant, your men are already dead. Oh, Lieutenant, your men are already dead. That audio is already gone. Luke, can I shock you? I don't think I've ever seen The Matrix. Oh. What? What? What?

It just always seemed a bit hack, like back in the day. You dress like that and you've never seen the bakery? You've got one of the coats. I looked vet on. Have you never seen it? Oh my word, I looked so out of place today with two rappers in their shell suits and I was just wearing a two-piece suit. I looked ridiculous.

I was going to ask you that. So that's the thing, see, so when I do a radio show, I do it with a lot of younger people. A couple of them are quite kind of trendy and cool. And how do you approach it? I just have to, I found myself like almost subconsciously adopting the kind of dad role. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much. I mean, the only thing worse than that would be to try and be cool.

Oh, yeah, massively. Yeah, I don't think I could. It would just look bad for me and everyone involved in the project, really. But yeah, I did look and feel ancient. Even though I'm fairly certain Lethal Bizzle's of age. I'm sure he's over 30, surely. Oh, yeah, he's been around for ages. I reckon he's probably older than you.

Indeed. Do you reckon? Hang on, wait a minute. No, apparently he's 35, apparently. 35, all right, fair dues. But yeah. So how do you approach it, Pete? So how do you approach it pete when you so how do you approach because i remember that time when you once accidentally said that you really like wu-tang

crew yeah yeah yeah to a man who likes his rap yeah yeah that was a kind of fair enough that's a mistake anyone can make a mistake i mean obviously i i because i'm a good bloke and a good friend to you i didn't take the piss out of you for that. No, no, no, no. But... But... But how do you approach trying to be cool around younger people or do you just not bother? What's your policy? My accent becomes more and more northern

to a point where nobody can really figure out what I'm saying because I'm mortified that I'm even in the room. They don't want me there. I don't want to be there. I don't want to be there. You don't want to be in the same room as yourself a lot of the time. No, exactly. So I just feel like I'm letting the side down. But they were both very good at Mortal Kombat, though.

Lethal Bizzle did make sure he played as Scorpion each time, which for me, you've got to mix it up a little bit, especially if you're playing with someone who's only used to FIFA. She's never played Mortal Kombat before, but he kept on hammering scorpion and i and i kind of respect it in some kind of bloody minded way just sat around continually referencing the game gear exactly oh no do you ever do you ever kind of try and do you ever sort of kind of when you when you're around like i know lethal biz was older but just generally speaking when you're around younger people do you ever kind of try and, do you ever sort of kind of, when you're around, I know Lethal Biz was older, but just generally speaking, when you're around younger people, do you ever kind of just occasionally chuck a little reference in just to show them that you're still in the room?

Yeah, I think when I was away in Portugal doing Nozolive Festival, chatting to a couple of people who, to be fair, I did think they were about 25, and it turns out they were over 30. So I was kind of barking up the wrong tree on that one. But I did profess my love of the recording artist Lizzo when in other company, I probably wouldn't have said that. See, I don't even know who Lizzo is, so I'll be in big trouble.

She's very good. She hilariously always talks... She always talks about herself having long titties and it always makes me laugh. Like she's a larger lady and she's got quite pendulous breasts and she's very proud about the fact she's got these long titties.

And whenever she talks about it, it always makes me laugh. On behalf of our listenership, can I just request that you never use the phrase pendulous breasts again? Oh my God. Lizzo, long titties.

I'm typing it into Google. Honestly, yeah, she's, yeah, long boobs. Lizzo celebrated her long boobs on Twitter, proving she's, basically proving that all breast shapes are beautiful

and they are. But she said, 23rd of September 2019 she tweeted Lizzo tweeted Merry Christmas from my long ass titties

and it really makes me laugh alright let's have a break and after that we'll do some emails alright we're back welcome back to the Luke and Pete show yes

it's our first little technical fuck up I love it we're talking over each other I'm so no sorry we're back we're back it's the first little technical fuck up I love it we're talking over each other you go again you go I'm so no sorry

we're back we're back it's the Luke and Pete show I've cleansed my mind of long ass titties and Luke and me are back doing the second half of the show are you alright with that Luke? yeah I'm fine with that I think people might have thought

because we are three and a half thousand miles away from each other we're not going to have the technical chops to be able to do an email section. They're wrong. Incorrect. Incorrect. The sad news for those doubters is that the official communication of the state of Vermont

is in fact the email. I heard it was a carrier pigeon. Yeah, it could be. I mean, it might as well be. What I want to do though pete before we move into the emails proper is i've got a couple of bits of admin to clean up from our listeners around your time in milwaukee okay right yeah cool nice you know like when um syd barrett famously had that lost weekend and the cast of only fools and horses went on their jolly

boys out into margate of course you've um you you went to Milwaukee for a weekend on your own. Yeah. And a lot of people have emailed in about it, and I want to just sort of kind of just, I've got one email here from Dom. I'm just going to read to you, and you can answer some of his questions. Yeah.

Which, broadly speaking, kind of sum up all the questions that most people have been asking. So I've chosen his email particularly for that purpose. Cool. All right, here we go um dom says as one of the only other 27 brits to ever visit milwaukee i was pleasantly surprised to hear about pete visiting so here are some highlights and i hope pete didn't miss out on any of these so i'm going to read them through to you okay a statue of the hat of the fonz from Happy Days.

I missed that. I didn't realise the Fonz was supposed to be from that part of the world. So yeah, I did miss out on the golden Fonz. I think he's golden. Is the character the Fonz in the show from Milwaukee or is it the actor Henry Winkler's from there? I think the character is Milwaukee rather than Henry Winkler. It's a public artwork

and it's actually painted, he's got actual jeans on and he's got a leather jacket and it's located on the Milwaukee Riverwalk in downtown

Milwaukee by an American artist. If you look at a picture of Fonz back in the day, like in, I don't know when it would have been, I guess

I think Happy Day started in the early mid-70s. The Fonz, he's a handsome fella. Yeah, I'd go with that, definitely, yeah. Well, that's why he was cast, presumably. I tell you what, I felt like the Fonz in that shoot I did today with the young people.

I felt like a man who has an office in a bathroom. You continually refer to the gents' bathroom as your office. Yeah, exactly, yeah. And you kept, instead of kicking the jukebox, did you kick the PS4? Yeah, definitely. Do a thumbs-up phone. Oh, yo, yo.

All right, so you didn't see the Fonz. Didn't see the Fonz, no. Did you eat cheese curds? I did eat cheese curds at the airport on the way out. What were they like? Talk us through them. Just, you know, like when you have like fried cheese,

like you usually get them in like a kind of stick formation, don't you? Sometimes in McDonald's on a special, special offer or something,

don't you? Well, like a mozzarella stick or something. Yeah, a mozzarella stick, yeah. Because mozzarella's quite tasteless, isn't it,

in many ways. So it doesn't really work for me. But I guess they use that kind of white cheese because it kind of white cheese because it kind of hauls its form a little bit. And cheese curds seem to be exactly the same as that, really.

Sort of gorgeous cheesy sort of thing, but without much flavour. Quite flavourless, I'd say. I thought cottage cheese was like a cheese curd kind of thing. Right, okay. And also, I might be starting an absolute war here between the fine people of Milwaukee, but I was under the impression that cheese curds were Canadian

because that's what you get in poutine. Yeah, well, you're not that far away from the bar drive, I suppose, but... No. Well, it's all about maple syrup here in Vermont, of course. Yeah. And the other thing that Dom asks if you saw was Bradford Beach. I didn't see Bradford Beach. What's Bradford Beach?

I presume you've Googled these things. Well, he seems to have included it in the email because it's got a funny name, I guess, because it'd be funny if the idea of having a beach in Bradford, I guess, is quite humorous. Right, okay. Are dogs allowed on Bradford Beach? Only the far north of Bradford Beach.

So why would I even go there? There were a lot of hilarious dogs. Actually, in between us doing the last show and this one, I went to Finland. A lot of dogs there. Very enjoyable. Very enjoyable. What else did you draw from Helsinki?

Helsinki was fun. Went to a couple of bars. Went on a ship to an offshore kind of fort, I suppose it is. Yeah, it went on a ferry to an offshore fort.

It reminded me a little bit of Portsmouth in many ways, but we were on a sort of island where there was just like military exercises taking place and people were just

absolutely smashing cannons and heavy artillery fire into the sea, it seemed like. I don't know what's going on. But you kind of forget that. What do you think Portsmouth is? Yeah, but they're not firing off cannons all day and night, are they? That's what I'm saying.

Why does it remind you of Portsmouth? I've never heard a cannon be fired in Portsmouth. Because you've got offshore forts, haven't you? You've got your forts. We've got forts, yeah. Yeah, you've got your forts. All right, Dom finishes off by saying he says

North Sirius and there's Milwaukee is a great city and it doesn't get enough love and I hope Pete enjoyed it I saw a banyan tree I told you

very exciting oh yeah he did say that as well very exciting what email have you got there Peter I've got an email from Brad hello Brad

the title is the glory of a True Plum. The email subject above, I've just read out, is something that my daughter Elsa murmured as she walked past while I was typing. It has nothing to do with the story below, but two of my daughters did make it on the show a little while ago with their philosophical quotes.

But I do enjoy The glory of a true plum. Very enjoyable. Since we're rolling into the holiday season now I have a story to share about a work Christmas party from about five years ago. Yes!

That's what we want. Work Christmas party stories. The wilder the better. Working in the engineering department at a paper mill we had less than 20 people in attendance but it was a nice little evening getaway to one of the senior guys' beach house

in which we played Dirty Santa and had an above-par meal. What's Dirty Santa? What's Dirty Santa? Yeah, I don't know. You have a look. You carry on with the Googling. Our manager had only taken over during the middle of the year and things were not getting off to a great start at work,

but a few of us were really close and we decided we'd go and enjoy the night anyway more surprisingly to us all after expecting to pay 20 each 20 each as we arrived the boss gave us all around of thank yous and handshakes and said it was taken care of and to put our money away merry christmas well it looked as if he realized this could be a big turning point for him and that we were worth a few hundred dollars to try and get back in the good graces with. Until the following Monday morning. On Monday, he brought each of us into his office, one at a time, and asked if we enjoyed the party, thanked us for attending,

and then let us know that if we could pay him the $20 each by the end of the week, it'd be greatly appreciated. That wasn't very Christmassy. No, it wasn't. So he said no to the money that was asked for and then later on decided to take the money anyway, which is incredible. Yeah, that's outrageous.

Needless to say, I believe there's only one of us left at the mill and he's changed departments since. Dear bosses, come holiday season, get the little things right for your employees. It can set the tone for the year to come, and especially if relations are known to be strained already, it could help a lot more than you think.

Happy holidays, guys, and safe travels. Thank you, Brad. Wonderful. A moral message from Brad. A moral message, yeah. I mean, I think we've had, in Christmas has gone by, we've had some good emails themed around Christmas dinner. Yeah.

So I think what would be good is to have emails themed around Christmas parties at work this year. That would be great. So if you've got any work Christmas party themed stories, send them in to hello at lukeandpeachshow.com and we'll read out our favourites. So the rules of Dirty Santa, it's nothing to do with pendulous breasts, Peter.

Okay. Each participant supplies one wrapped gift, usually of similar value, and the gifts are placed in the centre and participants determine in which order they will take turns selecting them. On subsequent terms, each person has a choice to either unwrap a new present

or steal another's. When a person's gift is stolen, that person can either choose another wrapped gift to open or can steal from another player. To avoid never-ending circles, each gift can only be stolen once per turn, and at the turn, at the end, everyone ends up with a present. Oh.

So it's just like a mad secret Santa. It's sort of like an elongated secret Santa, I guess. A long-ass secret Santa. I've never heard of that before. Have you? No, I've never heard of that before. I've heard of, no, I'm thinking of Dirty Sanchez now. No, none of that.

I'm thinking of the TV show Dirty Sanchez. I've heard of that. Not Dirty Santa, whatever the hell that was. I'm going to finish off with an email, which is right up your street, Pete. We'll squeeze one more in before we've got to go.

And it's from Connor, who says, in episode 199.62, now, I didn't know anything about this either, so you you might already know about this peter but if you don't um then you will shortly this is an episode 199.62 pete mentioned a pulp being his favorite band yeah and wondered if there was a shrine to jarvis cocker in sheffield ahead of a visit you were making for a football ramble live show. Well,

Connor says you'll be pleased to know there is a shrine of sorts to Jarvis in Sheffield. There is a sex shop on Division Street in the Devonshire Quarter in which there is a sign commemorating the time

Jarvis fell out of a window above the shop onto the street below in an attempt to impress a girl. According to his Wikipedia entry, he was pretending to be Spider-Man.

That is right up my street. And onto the street. I did not know that, no. And I like the fact that he used to live above a sex shop. Very enjoyable. Well, it says he was, it didn't say he used to live there,

but it said he was in there. Oh, right, okay. She's visiting. Just making house calls as Sheffield's most talented indies man well you lived

above a chip shop so all the similarities between you guys never ended no I know right I always found something in my younger years when I would walk

past sex shops in my late teens and early twenties I always found the packaging that they used to just throw out outside sex shops

quite alluring and interesting. Go on, tell us more about that. Well, no, just like colourful boxes where it was clear what was inside them and stuff like that. Fascinating. How old were you then? I don't know, 20. It was fascinating.

You weren't from Soho. I remember you taking your poor mum and making her have a photo outside the sex shop. That was mean. Yeah, that was in Lille. I want to go back to Lille. Oh, Jesus Christ. The, uh...

Oh, my chair's just fallen apart a bit there. Yeah, I want to go back to Lille. It's one of those places that's very easy to get to, but nobody seems to ever go. You sent me a picture of you and your mum and dad enjoying a breaking bread. Breaking bread, yeah. What was going on? I was... I'd had a day of

well, a run through of the thing I'm doing now with the rappers and the young people and then I had to, I was in a situation where I, my mum and dad are down during this week but I'm just not going to have time to see them so I just ran in and saw my mum and dad and the problem

is I'd had terrible runs all through the day. I felt dreadful. Just pooping constantly. Poop, poop, poop. And my mum said, well, here's a present. And she gave me a full packet of licorice.

Now, that's not going to help. You love licorice, though. I don't love it when I've got the runs. That's not how, that's not going to help anything. Stop saying the runs. You're in the 80s. What do't love it when I've got the runs. That's not how, that's not going to help anything. Stop saying the runs. What do you want me to say? You've got the 80s.

What do you want me to say? The poopies. Diarrhoea. People don't say, do people say the runs anymore? It's like an 80s thing. Stop making me sound even older. The young people here,

the rappers. I think it's that, the lethal bizzle. Sorry, Biz, it actually called the biz. Sorry, Biz,

I've got the runs. Oi, Biz, He likes to be called the Biz. Sorry, Biz. I've got the runs. Oi, Biz, you want to hear the Biz? Well, the Biz is, I've got the runs. At one point, he was doing... Did you do it in a rap? Did you tell him in the form of a rap? Well, at one point, he was doing a lot of wrestling as Scorpion, and I was like, oh, I was trying to remember the wrestling troupe

called The Miz. I was going, oh, from the biz to The Miz, but instead I just went, from the biz to The Biz. That's not getting in the edit. Fucking idiot. Were you commentating on this? Yeah, yeah. I was spitting bars, mate.

I was spitting bars. Is any of it going to make it? I very much doubt it. Yeah, that's how it is. You get asked once, you never get asked back. That's the Luke Moore rule. It's all good. All good.
