The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 199.77: Pete's first impressions

Episode Date: December 9, 2019

Pete's been working with Niko Rosberg, a man with lovely soft hands, apparently. That, as is the custom for Luke and Pete, descends into a conversation about handshakes and after that we naturally sidestep into Janet Jackson, Jared Leto, The Big Breakfast (again) and The Beastie Boys. All separately, obviously.There's plenty of chat from you guys too via your excellent emails, and if you want to send one of your own you can do so here: [e-mail] Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the Luke and Pete show, grab yourself a Foster's Ice and let's get down to it. How you doing, you alright? Yeah, I wasn't expecting that. Can you still get it? Can you still find it? I doubt it, to be honest. it was a failed experiment, I think. Well, if you can, it's probably available from Beer 52. What? Beer 52 have like a section of underwhelming lager.

Are they still sponsoring us at the moment? I don't know. They'll be back. Just in case. They're sluts. Oh, we love you. We love you, PD. Check you every day on MTV.

Yeah. Is that acceptable? You were back in the room. The last two we recorded, the last three we recorded, was in a... Is that me or you? That's me.

Is that me or you? We both were in different time zones, different times, which actually leads me on to my first point. I was in Vermont. You were in the mid-80s. With my opinions. Quite hilariously,

not hilariously, it's a tragedy. And it's a tragedy and it's a tragedy that happened about five hours ago. The big eruption of that New Zealand volcano. Yes, I saw that.

It's just breaking news this morning. Very, very sad. Some of the YouTube comments on the video. Oh God. How come it says that it erupted

at 2pm Monday afternoon when I am watching this at 11am? Because you live in America, you mental. And can we also please, and this is going to fall on deaf ears, but can we please wait at least until those poor people's bodies are cold

before we start rumbling about conspiracy theories? Yeah, exactly, yeah. Because that is absolutely outrageous. And I'll tell you something now, I've said it to the listeners before, and I'm going to say it to you again now. That YouTube premium account was the worst thing that's ever happened to you.

I just can't help it. Because you now don't do anything other than watch YouTube. Honestly, it's been so destructive. All it is, lockpicks. People taking apart cheap Chinese electronics. What happened to Mass Effect Andromeda? Why China got rid of the one-child policy?

I mean, Jack Dean comes in here, and you're starstruck. Try an overnight capsule hotel train in Russia. Yeah. It's problematic, I think. Why? And also, for people who like to have, and they think it's a myth,

but it's not a myth. It's absolutely exactly how you are. For people who like the Pete legend to be further burnished, when I walked into the other office this morning, what were you doing? I was putting together a computer. Yes. Why were you doing that in the office? I had my thermal piss.

Because, quite frankly, and they can hear this, our engineers are liabilities. Right. So I'm thinking I should educate myself. You've taken it upon yourself to play around with hardware in the office. Well, that sounds like something somebody read out in court. And then you're doing a computer. No, but I just don't think, correct me if I'm wrong, and you can scream at me and shout me down on the rest of it.

I don't know if I ever thought I'd be working in the same office as someone or own a business with someone who, when I walk in in the morning, is like t pasted up. Tinkering away with the inside of a computer. For me, as a kid growing up, the inside of a computer

was a sacred place. Buy it from the shop, plug it in, see you later. If it doesn't work, take it down the repair shop and go, what's wrong?

That's how they make their money. So what were you doing specifically for the heads? For the heads. It was a deep cut for the heads. Well, I couldn't, we've got a computer that's misfiring and there's some ill communication, Beastie Boy style, with the compressor that we use that puts all our voices together and makes it sound nice.

The compressor seems fine, but the computer seems to be misfiring. There seems to be a problem with, I'm going to put it down to the Firewire card that we've got in there, which is quite an outdated, antiquated way of communicating with a computer. So I thought, I've got a computer at home that I'm not using, and it's quite nippy, it's quite quick. I was going to sell all the bits on eBay, but I thought, you know what?

I'm going to donate it to the studio, but it needs to be in a box and it needs to be put together again. So I got my Gorilla thermal paste out and I built, or I'm building a computer. Nice. For the office.

Is that what you're going to do for the rest of the afternoon? No, because I'm missing the actual box itself, a hard drive and also a cooling system. You're going to purchase those?

Only done so, baby. Only done so. You will not invoice us for those. They're not. Speaking of real communication, not the best Beastie Boys record but it has got Sabotage us those only done so you will not invoice us for those speaking of ill communication not the best

Beastie Boys record but it has got Sabotage and Sure Shot on it those songs are both on the same album

and if you're interested in sort of quite out there but nevertheless very successful cover versions Cancer Bat's

cover of Sabotage is very good it's like a heavy metal version of it it's pretty heavy metal to start with isn't it

I think the excitement of seeing them perform that with guitars in their hands is very exciting. Because obviously they started off as a punk band, so they can obviously play their instruments.

But I think back in the day you had a quite limited idea about what a rap trio could actually do. You've seen them, the kids, haven't you? Oh, they can actually play. You've seen them rapping? I've seen them the kids haven't you you've seen them rapping I've seen them

rapping I was hanging out with Lethal Bizzle last week oh my god I was hanging out with Motor Racing Driver Nico Rosberg

on a Friday doing the same show where's this come from doing the same show he is so money so I think he's from

a very wealthy family anyway isn't he well his dad was Formula 1 champion of something or other but he grew up in Monaco via Finland

and Germany and all those places but yeah you know we just make somebody like we would never have met otherwise so he's doing this

thing that you were doing with Lethal Bizzle the week before yeah he's playing a video game what kind of show is this it's so weird

so what when we've got Lethal Bizzle then we've got Nico Rosberg sorry you've got what how is this related it was Nico Rosberg going toe to toe

with a I think he's from, no, he's not from Birmingham, he's from Guildford, I think, a Guildford-based driving YouTuber. He makes his money doing driving YouTubes

and he was very, he was a very timid boy. And Nico Rosberg is an excellent presenter. He was like moving everything along really quickly. Right. And they introduced another guy.

Did people forget you were there? Honestly, I was like, Nico, you can take this, mate. He was brilliant they introduced another guy. Did people forget you were there? Honestly, I was like, Nico, you can take this mate. He was brilliant. He's fantastic. He's so comfortable in his own body.

He's so cool. Does he want to do a podcast? Well, he's only doing a podcast and I actually tried to shut him up. So I'm going,

do you want to, he's interviewing people like, who's a fellow who's in Basic Instinct and Falling Down? Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas.

That was his last interviewee. But I was like... He has money this guy. Yeah, I was going, I was going, so I was a podcast going, he's going, we are having trouble

with his, I think I'm probably going to do it on Skype now. He's taking too long. And he's so wonderful. So he's German as well? Yeah, that was his nationality,

official nationality, I think. But he was, he was very camp, but so camp, I think. But he was, he was very camp, but so camp, so very camp, it was so enjoyable to listen to. Sounds a bit like Daniel Farker.

We have a mutual friend who values people who are, I guess, comfortable in their own skin. But he does like a strong handshake. And I said, unfortunately, Nico Rosberg's handshake was not all there for me,

to be honest. He needed a bit more back to it. And you would know. Have you tried to work on your handshake? My handshake's fine. I'm more than comfortable.

People who think that it's important to crush people's hands are pathetic. No, I think there's a balance. I think there are some parameters, I think. You don't want to be

giving people a lettuce leaf, but you also don't want to be giving them the Hulk Hogan either. You want to be giving them in between. Shake my hand, I'll show you. That's fine. You've changed yours. That's fine.

You've changed yours. That's fine. You have very soft hands. What have you been up to? You used to be a lot more lettuce leafy than that. Nah. I don't think it's important. I try and make people kiss my hand.

You've got powdery hands. Yeah. What is important to you in first impressions then if it's not a handshake? Just be a nice boy. Just be a nice boy. Don't worry about it.

Just don't... You don't have to dominate the first time that you meet someone. I think it's pathetic that kind of behaviour. Yeah, but you don't also... Hi! How's it going?

Yeah? Great! I'm Pete. I'm in finance. Deal with it. Yeah, but at the moment you are, hi, I'm Pete. Sorry about that. Yeah, that's me. Hi, I'm Pete finance. Deal with it. Yeah, but at the moment you are, hi, I'm Pete, sorry about that.

Yeah, that's me. Hi, I'm Pete, sorry about that. I've just got thermal paste on your dress, sorry. Sorry for making you meet me in a situation in your own home where I'm giving you £1,000. That's all my fault. That's why I was sent for the postcard lottery. Sorry about this, here's a big check.

Oh, I think Jeff Brazier does that. He does. He does a lot of stuff. Jeff Brazier was... Again, another capable presenter that you wouldn't... Came out of left field. Scheduled to be on my talk sport show a while back,

but he didn't actually make it in the end. But I think I will. I'll pass my cross at some point. Brazier. If he thinks he's getting in that big chair, he's got another thing coming. Are you in the big chair? Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm not classically trained like him, though, so maybe they'll they'll bump me but see first impressions to you

are just sort of be normal be a nice boy just be a nice boy you don't have anything to prove don't worry about it do you get awkward

so do you think about when you say you're meeting someone for the first time so say you're going to go say we're going to have a meeting or whatever and there's people

you haven't met before and it's a man and a woman you kind of get into kind of knots in your mind about how to greet both of them i was and then remember their names and the rest of it i was hanging out with a um practical action the charity that i work with um to round off some work um from a radio station and uh i was at the thames barrier with a woman who's from darfur and we were talking about how the how the how practical action

working on the ground in Darfur helping with irrigation and crops and obviously the civil war was all about the pastoralists

and the agriculturists facing off with dwindling resources due to climate change and this woman I'm always

I'm always doing who's the who's the boss of Canada? Who's the boss of Justin Trudeau? I don't think that's his official title. He's a carbon copy kind of, a carbon example of how to greet Muslim women. Like, hand on the chest, like, don't go to check the hand sort of thing. Is that what you're supposed to do?

Especially if they're wearing, if they're outwardly, like, wearing a headscarf or a niqab or something. How would you inwardly wear a headscarf? I don't. In your mouth. Put it in your mouth. Put it behind your eyelids. But carry on.

And so I was really careful to sort of like not shake the hand and just do the hand thing. Did she give you a big hug? And then at the end she hugged everyone. I was like, oh, so careful, Elyon. I was trying to be so respectful. Pete, what is the custom when you meet someone from Japan? Is that similar or is that a myth that you're not supposed to shake hands?

I think in 2019 everyone just shakes hands. I thought there was a big thing about that. Like nodding, yeah. so respectful Pete what is the custom when you meet someone from Japan is that similar or is that a myth that you're not supposed to shake hands I think in 2019 everyone just shakes hands I thought there was a big thing about that nodding yeah yeah well I mean give them a bow

when I said bow there I was thinking how do you pronounce David boy because I was going to get it right he's never bowed he's boy

but yeah give them a bow and if they're still smiling give them a shake of the hand but sometimes they really shake the hand for ages. They're not really sure how long to go for.

Really? I find. Okay, right. Very small. I did a bit of a Donny yesterday. Uh-oh. At a Chinese buffet. Yes!

Come on! First Chinese buffet I've ever had on a Sunday in my entire life. Succulent. A succulent Chinese meal. It's fine, yeah. It's my dad's birthday

and so we said, oh look, you know, we'll take it for lunch. Where do you want to go? And he said, I want to go to this Chinese buffet. Yes's fine. Yeah. It's my dad's birthday. And so we said, oh, look, you know, we'll take it for lunch. Where do you want to go? And he said, I want to go to this Chinese buffet. Yes. Bit left field.

I was like, okay, fine. So we went there. It was great. I loved it. There are several levels of Chinese buffet. The one that we had before our Lowry football rumble show.

That's Korean. Had. I'll let you go to that one. No, no, no. It was me, Marcus and Sam.

Marcus mainly ate chips. Yeah. He's not known for his extravagance when it comes to food. But it was actually a really good Chinese buffet in that you had ones that you don't normally see, like prawn toast in there. Yeah, this one like that.

You had a lot of quite expansive meat options as well because sometimes it's just sweet and sour chicken if you're lucky, a spare rib. But this one had loads of different dishes you're talking about Mr. Woo's here aren't you

Mr. Woo's which is terrible yeah in town the one I had sesame toast I had kung po prawn nice

big chunky king prawns in there that's rare for one of those they might have been sat out for a while

full dessert dish thing as well what are the desserts though just fruit salad and cake no British

yeah cake and ice cream. Anyway, I had a lovely time and I don't feel too bad today. I was worried that if... I tried not to eat too much because I've been to the US for Thanksgiving and that's quite a heavy time in terms of food

and I was trying to sort of relax it before Christmas so I didn't go too heavy. I was worried the salt was going to give me almost like a food hangover today but I actually feel okay. Well, I thought I was going to have a hangover today because I visited Marcus' church to do the carol singing. I like doing that.

Did you do any singing? I had too many. Well, before, I used to do the singing. Well, not carol singing like a roundabout, but it was a carol service, effectively. Yeah, sure. And I had three glasses of mulled wine. I bloody love mulled wine.

Yeah, it's good. It's delicious. But yeah, I used to have a rule of not singing songs about God because I thought it was disrespectful to the people who are in church. But then I thought, just get over yourself because you're just making it worse if you don't sing. Are you able to sing in between saying sorry so much? You're in church.

It's the perfect time to do it. You'd be disrespectful to Christians by singing songs. Why? Well, because it's not your God. You don't believe in it. And it would just be, if you're singing the songs, to do it. You'd be disrespectful to Christians by singing songs. Why? Well, because it's not your God. You don't believe in it. And it would just be, if you're singing the songs, it means nothing.

What God do you believe in? Money. Yeah. The God of thermal paste. Pasty John, his name is. Is that right? Pasty John. He's completely silver.

Imagine a normal sized man, but he's got a big old beer belly and he looks like a computer geek. And he's got a big old beer belly and he looks like a computer geek and he's got like a little neck beard but his entirety of his skin

is just coated in a thin layer and only a thin layer because it's important to keep it thin a thin layer of thermal paste you just imagine

a new sitcom only on Netflix Greasy John by Pete Dawson but yeah and then I went home did you go in there did you go into the carousel and go sitcom only on Netflix Greasy John by Pete Donaldson but yeah and then I went did you go in there

did you go into the carousel and go I think you'll find there's actually no empirical evidence for a god and I'd actually call myself an

anti-theist rather than an atheist and extraordinary claims do really require extraordinary evidence thanks everyone yeah I will have

another glass of wine Jesus didn't mind that, did he? Good night. But really though, it is a series of myths written by a man in the Iron Age.

They did. Did you do that? No, I didn't do that. They had a little photo booth thing where you could sit down with baby Jesus. You could sit in the

infinity scene and take a picture. But the cut out characters that were behind you were Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and the Queen I've no idea why

it was really confusing this wasn't a church and we're going to have to have a chat I think that they're so progressive they had a black baby Jesus progressive for a British

denominational church and yeah they had a king, a queen, and weirdly enough, Marilyn Monroe. I've no idea why. It was fun. Lots of fun though. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. I do love a carol service.

I went to one at Southwark Cathedral a few years ago. I did some volunteering for Marie Curie Cancer again. And one of the volunteering jobs. Are you trying to one-up my charity work? Are you trying to make me talk about my charity work? Well, you know, I don't know. Let's talk about it. Did you take a Muslim woman from Darfur to the Thames Barrier? I don't think so. I've been told about that.

It was a bit weird. Look at this massive government infrastructure project that's safeguarded London. You don't have that in Darfur, do you? What you want to do, get yourself one of them. All right, see you later. No, I was...

They do do excellent work. One of the Marie Curie sort of events that had to be volunteered for was the Christmas Carol concert at Southwark Cathedral, which is an absolute touch, because you go there, obviously you volunteer him but all we had to do

was show people to their seats in this particular one and watch the carol concert and theirs is really good because I don't know if it's still the case because this is a

few years ago now but they used to get genuinely good people on there so it was hosted by John Coleshaw nice he's a bit weird

and they he chatted up a friend of mine yeah via DMs I've got some similar stories did he do it in he's a bit weird and they he chatted up a friend of mine yeah via DMs I've got some similar stories and

did you do it in characters about him not me no but this is the thing hello it's Brad Pitt on the phone is this John Kosher again yes it is this is the thing right

do you remember you know Luke Kempner yes he's an impressionist he's on a fantasy father side on on

football realm daily I've done some work with him on the radio as well lovely fella and he's like impressionist he's done a fantasy father side on um on daily i've done some work with him on the radio as well lovely fella and he's like one of these younger generations of impressionists

yes it's quite interesting because um people expect impressionists to all be a bit weird because the older generation they kind of have a

a kind of personality tick but they can they've got to the point where they can only communicate by doing impressions yeah so if you're

just sat around having a nice time, having a beer or whatever, they'll go, oh, yeah, nice beer, isn't it? Imagine if Tony Blair was having a nice beer. Yeah, that's what I said. I go, oh, do you think, I wonder if Donald Trump would love this beer.

And then just do a Donald Trump. But Luke Kempner was saying that, like, obviously he doesn't do that, but John Colter was very much doing that. Anyway, but the other people, they had, like, the Saturdays performed a song there. Oh. I'm probably wrong on this,

but I want to say, a big pop-up, someone like One Direction, probably not them, and this is when they first started, but one of those kind of ones. Marie Curie's a big boy charity, aren't they?

Yes, they are. And my point was going to be, before I rambled about it for no reason for 10 minutes, that you don't have to be religious to enjoy a good carol concert. No, exactly. Anyway, that's that.

Does the government match for Marie Curie? Just saying, Practical Action, until March the 9th, every pound that goes in will be matched by the UK government and that money will be going into the projects in Darfur. Until March the 9th? Practicalaction.org.

Yeah, until this Thursday, probably. Yeah, they'll probably change it. Yeah. All right, let's have an hour break, and then we'll do some emails when we come back. Don't like to talk about charity work. So the first step is to find the right position for you. Put your hands down and lower your chest to the ground.

Just do that and pretend that you're holding poop in, and it should sound a lot like this. Yeah, you won't get the excellent production quality of this because our producer Katie's in Madrid, but you will get that. Yeah, and I had a thought to myself

after we did the Vermont episode that wouldn't it be amazing to get all the jingle people in one room together? So the fart guy. Pantry muff. Farmer Meemaw. Farmer Meemaw.

The fart boy. Suckling Chinese meal. Julia Sands. It's perfect. Julia Sands feeds the food to the fart man. Don't get me wrong. That guy as well.

Don't get me wrong. The camel urine. Yeah. So he could drink camel urine. He could eat a succulent Chinese meal which as we know doesn't make you blow off if you err on the side

of meat and the ribs and stuff do a fart and kill the moths with the fart the boy links it together it would just be an absolutely

chaotic room it would be it would be like Suicide Squad there'd be too much there'd be too much exposition you'd have to explain where these people came from

speaking of Suicide Squad did you see Jared don't get me wrong Jared Leto getting annoyed that he wasn't listed squad. There'd be too much exposition. You'd have to explain where these people came from. Speaking of suicide squad, did you see Jared Leto getting annoyed that he wasn't listed in some random guy's

top five jokers? No. He is a funny onion. Is he a funny old fish? He's a funny old fish.

I've never met him, but I've seen him getting interviewed by people I know and I never have a nice time with him.

He's done quite a lot. He's done music and everything as He's done quite a lot. He's done music and everything as well. Well, he sort of talks about how, like he's in incredible shape and he's a man of advancing years. He's not that old, is he?

He's in his 40s, isn't he? Must be, yeah. And he's still in an emo band. He's 47, apparently. He's 47. Oh, yeah. And he's in incredible shape and he basically says,

how do you get in such incredible shape? And he's like, I don't do any working out but when I rock out and I do my shows, that's how I get in such great shape. And it's like, you do crunches for days,

you bellend, come on. Yeah, there's no way you're getting in that kind of nick by running around the stage for a couple of hours. No, exactly. Rubbish.

Otherwise, you'd be in that nick after the Ramble Live Tour. I know. All that gave me was a bad back. There was a bit of time, wasn't there, a few years ago when you were in quite decent shape. Yeah, I've just stopped starting again. Do you remember that? When was that?

What were you doing? I think I was just going to the gym every day. But I've returned the top half just the belly lets you down I like the beer I like the lager I've never really

been in good shape since I was about 21 just how it goes anyway hello at lukeandpeachshow.com is the email address to get in touch with us too many Foster's Ice

we love hearing from you if you're having a crack open a Foster's Ice crack open for me Foster's Ice and listen to this this to this email section. I've got one here from Craig from Durham, and I quite like it.

All right, baby. He says, I was listening to one of your shows where you were talking about the big breakfast, and it reminded me of a funny story. There was a family in our village, and the uncle did something very naughty. And as a result, his family and house were targeted by the villagers,

and they ended up needing to move out of the area under witness protection oh dear or police protection whatever it is that's very naughty nobody knew where they went until one day

we were all going through our morning routine of watching the big breakfast before school and it cut to a live feature in some random village and we were all shocked to see the whole family

minus the uncle who was in prison standing in the crowd waving with the name of their new top secret location splashed on the screen below oh no and Richard Bacon saying hi, welcome to

wherever. I'm not sure if anything had come of this but I'm sure you will agree it's a rookie mistake and I bet the police were not happy with them. Imagine that's page one stuff.

If you're being moved to another town for your own protection don't go on live TV. Don't go on live TV. Very good. That's just one of the things that Big Breakfast was good for.

It was a good show hello to Hannah yo yo yo hello Pete I have a Christmas party story always welcome we've got our

Mr Carnival Christmas party on Saturday aren't we yeah I'm going to find a photocopier and do your bum copy my bum yeah

will you try and get the sort of back of the ball sack as well it's never I'd try and get the sort of back of the ball sack as well it's never I'd try and spread out as much as I can yeah so that my innards are photographed

or at least get a bit they're doing that now aren't they they're doing yoga they're spreading their arse cheeks apart and letting the sun get in there

down their anal canal that is pseudoscience at best it does not it just reminds me of when a gay couple were experimenting in the worst kind of way. They wanted to know what it felt like

to have a load of cement up their bum. One of the partners. Why would you want to know that? Fill the arse full of cement. But the problem is, it doesn't harden really because it just never dries because it's your arse.

But it does dry out the lining of your arse. And also, cement is highly alkali. So it ruined this guy's arse you can't complain this is standing is it what the man putting cement up his bum

this is rock bottom this is in literal rock bottom that's what I'm saying there we go sometimes I do a joke that not even you get no

I'm bad at that recently I'm having a terrible time go on just I might just write the edit point down just to see how we go yes that not even you get done. No, I'm bad at that recently. I'm having a terrible time. Go on. I might just write the edit point down. Just to see how we go. Yes.

Redacted. He says, I have a Christmas party story. Not sure if it's entertaining enough, but at least it's true. If you read it out, please leave out my surname. Again, another edit point for people.

Jesus Christ. And you can't say that because you've been to church this week. Please come back. Okay. A couple of Christmas ago, in my first year in teaching, and at the time living in Maidstone, Kent. Edit name. Yes. First year of teaching and living in Maidstone, Kent.

I was at the Hall School Christmas party in a very gritty pub. And whilst I was in the ladies' toilet, I noticed a positive pregnancy test on the floor of the cubicle wow that's a story isn't it that's a story in a pub I know I was a little drunk and declared to the rest of my female co-workers who were waiting that it was not my pregnancy test having known these women for less than three months and then only in a professional capacity they were a little bit taken aback I thought nothing of it until later at night uh when a co-worker suggested that I didn't drink anymore.

I thought I was being told off for generally embarrassing myself rather than drinking during pregnancy. After a confused conversation, I declared to the room, i.e. all of the teachers in the school, that I was not in fact pregnant and the toilets of this particular establishment were not where I would plan on finding out that fact. I didn't consider until the next morning

that the actual owner of the test was likely to be in the room. Anyway, it was the icebreaker, which meant every teacher in the school knew who I was, and it was something that embarrassed me for the following year and a half I worked there. Cheers, lads, and Merry Christmas. Thank you for that, Hannah. You can probably use that phrase about a lot of things

that are problematic, though. Anyway, from that point on, everyone knew who I was. Yes, exactly. Yeah, make a statement. I mean, you could say that about on, everyone knew who I was. Yes, exactly. Make a statement. I mean, you could say that about Harold Shipman, couldn't you? It's true. It's not a good thing though, is it? Make a statement without saying a word. What's the weirdest thing you've seen in a pub?

What is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in a pub? Donnie without a beer in his hand. Hey, hey, hey. A bit weird, isn't it? Oh, I saw a man piss himself. Yes! Christmas party. himself yes why do I Christmas party angel why do I get myself

into these positions where you can answer questions like that I was in a bar and I was trying to watch the top of the you know I love

spending a pound note top of the top of Angel top of Upper Street trying to get to a pub that was doing the Joshua fight oh the big one

on the right hand side with the upstairs the one that's right next to the Joshua fight. Oh, the big one on the right-hand side with the upstairs? The one that's right next to the station. Yeah. Highbury Islington station. Highbury Islington or Upper Street? Sorry, yeah. At the end of Upper Street.

Oh, sorry, I'm thinking the other end of Angel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hang on, because this is important. It's not. Next to Highbury Islington, the closest pub to Highbury Islington.

Oh, the Famous Cock? Yes, Famous Cock. And they were doing 20 quid to get in to watch the Joshua fight. See, that used to be... 20 quid. That used to watch the Joshua fight see that used to be 20 quid that used to be illegal did it

they used to they used to have to say you can so it's 10 quid to get in and you get your first two drinks free right so that's the way of them

getting round the fact that they can't have a ticket because it doesn't work their licence yes so they can just do that now can they maybe they can

maybe they can't that's Tory Britain for you you're welcome to it you're welcome to it you're welcome to it so I didn't get there so I went down the road I was trying to get

on my phone this is nowhere near where you live what are you doing up here I was just meeting my mate Al alright carry on I mean we could have

sat in the I said we could have sat in the office and just sink the beers we got from B52 that are burning a hole in my fridge quite frankly

I mean that's that's depressing me that what do you mean thinking of you and Al on your own in the office on a Saturday night

drinking free beers, watching the boxing. Oh, get a bit boozy and try to have a fight yourself. All of a sudden, I walk into the Monday, there's blood all over the floor.

We've been there before, Donaldson. We've been there before. And so we couldn't get in there, so we were like, I walked out of the way and then we sat in this bar and there was some kind of music going on down the end.

And it was a Christmas party going on. And a man, and a lad got thrown out, sat in a hat on with a sizable amount of piss. No, the water just splashed from the sink. I was just washing my hands. It was getting bigger. Oh, God. But he was still, he was still, you know, he was still he was still you know he was still with us you know

he was still kind of walking around how old he couldn't have been older than 26 that's not that bad yeah yeah but he was a big old

if he was like 60 and his tie around his head that would be worse can I just say the idea of so let's just get this right for everyone listening

you've gone out with Al the two of you. Gone somewhere to watch the boxing. You couldn't find anywhere. You thought about coming to the office on your own on a Saturday night. You didn't do that and then you ended up spending time

with someone who pissed themselves. I didn't just spend time. He was getting thrown out by the bouncer because he pissed himself. That is the most depressing thing, prospect, since when you and I went to the Chelsea-Newcastle game together

and you very touchingly, and I did appreciate it, asked me if I wanted to go for a drink with you afterwards. And I said, oh, right, what are you doing? And you said, I'm going back to my flat, and Al's going to meet me, and we're going to open some tins. No, I'm not. Cans, cans, cans. Lads, lads, lads. Yeah, but there's loads of pubs to go to.

Well, there is, yeah, but I mean, sometimes you just want a bit of alone time with your friend. Don't you? So when did you eventually watch the game? I didn't manage to do it in the end and then a man that I knew

I saw him I was like Sven and he said alright Pete I'm doing a gig at the garage obviously near

with a load of Japanese musicians who were just going to be playing an entire set of music from Sonic the Hedgehog fucking hell has anything been

more daunting than that and I was like this has been a wild night did you go no you absolute idiot why didn't you go to that

it was on at like 6 I wouldn't have made it I wouldn't have made it up to see just imagine it you walk into the venue get yourself a plastic

canister what would you call it a plastic cup full of beer and you get your little position and do do do do do do do do do do that's not that that's that's what do you call it? A plastic cup full of beer. Canister of beer. And you get your little position and do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do.

That's not that. That's Janet Jackson. Yeah, she got busted for it. Plagiarising it. Really? Yeah. What? Well, Michael Jackson

did the music for Sonic 3, I think. Janet Jackson basically ripped off that. Was that part of the reparation? Everywhere I go, every smile I see. Yeah, it's exactly the same.

Sonic, Hedgehog, Night... Was it Night Music? Night Music. where I go every smile I see really yeah it's exactly the same anyway hedgehog night night music night music find it and while you're doing that I'll find you Janet Jackson's song at the hedgehog

and I'll play it so people can hear it for themselves cool you're going to have to fill the time because I haven't prepared it hedgehog one music

I'm going to search for music all of the all of the tunes the original soundtrack ready OST. Ready? Yeah.

It's just a 30 second thing. Everywhere I go, every smile I see. Yeah. Smiling back at me. Oh my god! That's amazing. That's amazing. That's fantastic. I believe she got busted for it.

Very similar. Yeah. There you go. What about that? On that bombshell. What's this? It's the Starlight Zone, third level. Jacko wrote this?

No. He wrote some later ones from Sonic 3. It's quite Starlight Zone, third level. Jacko wrote this? No. He wrote some later ones from Sonic 3. It's quite mournful. Do you know what? This takes me back, actually. Takes me back. Do you remember the stage where you had to get the water bubbles, the air bubbles on the water?

Yes. That was good. That was stressful. Very good. Anyway, let's get out of here. We're back on Thursday, the 12th of December, for some more chat. Thursday, the 12th of December.
