But what would the football manager
Graham Taylor say in this situation?
Oh yeah!
A little bit of the bobbly.
He's Chris Jericho.
That was Macho Man.
You've been watching a lot of Macho Man
and like going live and stuff. He sent me a few things actually can you i think it's
important for me to um make clear on the luke and pete show um luke for the past month i don't
really know why or how this has come up but he seems insistent on sending me as much as much
only feels and horses uh memorabilia links on WhatsApp.
He just constantly sends me.
So, this is the Luke and Pete show.
I'm Luke, that's Pete.
Welcome along.
This is your first episode.
God help you.
I've become fascinated
by the subculture
that is people who are super fans
of the 80s sitcom
Only Fools and Horses.
Yeah.
And I got into this. My gateway drug drug if you like was when i asked you kip forums no it was when i am i someone retweeted the actor
john chalice who plays boise into my timeline twitter right and i just kept looking at his
stuff and i found this whole subculture now I know for a fact that only fools and horses
is exactly the kind of
basic humour
that you will find annoying
I abhor it
yeah so that's why
I keep sending you it
but is it
do you not find it
kind of fascinating
the same way you find
like a man
who's a detective
also picking locks
fascinating
no because it's just
so big
like it's not really
out there is it
it's not really interesting
there's just so much
kind of like
John Charles has a really good follow on Twitter
because he just retweets the craziest stuff.
Yeah.
He just...
He's a character.
He's a real character.
He's got two autobiographies.
Does the world need two John Challis autobiographies?
Probably not.
He sells them like self-published for a fiver on his website.
He keeps on retweeting, like,
Serbian translated DVD covers from Only Fools and Horses.
He's into it. He's into it.
He's into it.
And you know
what that led me on to?
It led me on to the
less successful
Nicholas Lindhurst vehicle
Goodnight Sweetheart.
Yes, okay.
Where he goes back to the
Second World War
through some portal.
Quite a brave
kind of
everyday sitcom
for the BBC to do.
Well, he's just awful, isn't he? He just treats him as a wife. Yes. It's a brave kind of everyday sitcom for the BBC to do. Well, he's just awful, isn't he?
He just treats him as a wife.
Yeah.
It's a whole lot of philosophical questions, though, isn't it?
What do you mean?
Because technically, when he's having sex with another woman,
it's 50 years before his wife's born.
Yeah.
So...
That's probably what turns him on.
Maybe, yeah.
You don't want to see what he did with the cement.
Was there ever a situation where he worried about the person he was sleeping with
was his wife in the future's mum or grandmother?
It's a good question, actually.
Maybe that's one of the plot points.
I don't know.
You'd think that would be a plot point.
It's pretty route one, isn't it?
Yeah.
But it wasn't enjoyable.
No, I tell a lie
I liked it
I could let you see it
it was good
so it's also got
it's also got an actor
called Victor Maguire
right
who plays
Gary I think
Gary Sparrow
who's played by
Nicholas Lindhurst
sort of best mate
who kind of helps him out
and is kind of the
the guy who
I guess tries to make
him see reason
I think he gets in
on the swindle
at some point
and he's involved.
Anyway, he's actually a really good actor.
He's really good in it.
If you watch it back,
I mean, it's not aged particularly well,
but he's the standout actor in it.
He's also in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
I think he's been in a couple of other bits and pieces as well.
Yeah, he's in some other stuff.
Anyway, he's actually quite good in it.
But what was I originally talking about?
Oh, yeah, so I keep sending you that stuff,
only if it was Norses stuff,
because I just think it's funny.
But when I said Macho Man,
my friend Jimmy,
my best friend since I was a kid,
he's one of these people
who misremembers things all the time,
and then he will swear blind
that he's right when he's not,
and then he'll just not care
and not change it.
So, for example,
he always gets the words to Chaz and Dave's Snook and then he'll just not care and not change it. So, for example, he always gets the words
to Chas and Dave's
snooker loopy wrong.
Right.
And it's annoying.
What does he think it looks like?
So the words go,
pot the red and screw back
to the yellow, green, brown, blue,
pink and black.
He, for some reason,
always says,
pot the yellow to the green,
brown to the blue,
to the pink and then the black,
which is completely wrong. Right. And secondly, the thing he used to do is really annoying when we were kids
and he always does it now still just to annoy me and a couple of others his you know macho man
randy savage used to be called macho king randy savage yeah well jimmy always calls him macho man
king randy savage it's really annoying and every time I must have done this every time we said it
for the last 25 years
literally
it's Macho Man
Randy Savage
and he'll always do
the announcement
and go
Macho Man
King Randy Savage
it's really
really annoying
I think we did a
we're doing like
12 wrestles
of Christmas
or whatever
and the first match
was Coco Beware
the parrot he was a bit of. Oh, I love him. The parrot.
Yeah, he's great.
He's a bit of a kid's character,
beloved by children everywhere.
But the first match we do is a shoot match
where basically it means that the fight is real,
where a wrestler decides to take umbrage
with something that the other wrestler has done
and then proceeds to beat the shit out of him.
What?
How does that happen?
They just unilaterally decide that?
No.
One of them's got some beef
does the other one know
not in this case
because he knocks him
out in about 5 minutes
it's a 2 minute match
who's the other wrestler
he's called
the patriot
right
and they get into a ring
and Coco Beware
just proceeds to
he's actually called
Coco Ware at that point
and somebody tweeted in
going isn't it Coco Beware
and Mark's going
no actually at that point
he was in Memphis Wrestling
so it wasn't actually
and it's just a kind of thing
wrestlers change their names
quite a lot
and modify their thing
when they change territories
and obviously for IP
infractions and stuff
they had to change
but I was just
fascinated by this match
where he just
beats the flying shit
out of this
poor bloke
he's just a jobbing wrestler
kind of a local wrestler
who comes on
and they reckoned
he'd said something racist
or done something wrong
but Coco Buey
proceeded to give him
a rather stiff clothesline
and then
spine busted him.
You know,
I can't remember
what the move was called.
I never know any of the moves
but he really hurts the guy
and then finishes off
when he's on top of him
gives him the biggest slap
to the face.
He's already knocked out. he's already knocked out he's
absolutely sparked out that is a that is a absolute danger of the job fans favorites what's it called
a shoot match shoot match yeah wow things are real because macho mans used to be called um the spider
bonesaw and mr madness well bonesaw was his character in the spider-man film i believe
right okay
when he plays
that makes sense
he was still in
pretty good nick
so the reason I
Miss Elizabeth
yeah so he has got
the most ridiculous
timbre to his voice
yeah
and that's why
I was talking to you
about it
the way he speaks
and there's a really
amazing
clip
from 1992
I'll play you a little bit
of it in a minute
of Macho Man
Randy Savage
like I said
1992 going live
which was a Saturday morning
kids show
in the UK
on either
I think it was BBC
presented by Sarah Green
and for people
who don't know wrestling
Macho Man
Randy Savage
was one of the better
technical wrestlers
he was an excellent wrestler
and he was massive as well
he's a massive name
and so picture the scene for some reason presumably promoting some kind to technical wrestlers. He was an excellent wrestler. And he was massive as well. He's a massive name. And so,
picture the scene.
For some reason,
presumably promoting
some kind of
WrestleMania event
in the UK or whatever,
he is sat,
surrounded
by maybe
38-year-old kids.
Yeah.
And Sarah Green
is interviewing him.
And the way he speaks...
Let's make it very clear.
It's 38-year-old kids.
The 38-year-old kids are the ones who do WrestleMedia.
Sound the truth.
Listen to the way he speaks.
Here we go.
Macho man Randy Savage is still with us this morning.
Yep, check it out.
Jamie Ashton.
Check it out.
I just want to say he's a friend of mine and sick right now.
Get better.
Who speaks like that? Get better better. Who speaks like that?
Get better.
No one speaks like that.
It reminds me of when
Michael Howard, bear with me here,
was the Tory leader
I think for the election
which would have been Blair's third term.
And he obviously looked like
the Prince of Darkness anyway.
And the way he said the word people,
which he used to say all the fucking time,
because he's a politician,
was the most unsettling way anyone's ever said anything,
including Macho Man.
He used to go,
and what we need to understand is that people do not want,
and it was,
once you heard it,
you could not unhear it.
But Macho Man needs to be told there at that point, look, want, and it was peeping people. Once you heard it, you could not unhear it. People. But Macho Man needs
to be told there at that point, look,
please, you're frightening the
kids with that shit. You're already wearing
a ridiculous neon pink
outfit. Hot pink. Yeah, with a
massive Stetson.
People don't know what to think. These kids are never going to forget
this, and in a bad way. I love it.
Pete, I was going to ask you,
I'm a aggressive husband. Oh yeah, that's what i was going to ask you um uh husband oh yeah that's
what i was going to ask you did you know that when i was in the us i think i forgot to mention it on
monday um my wife's family's next door neighbor right we always go to visit her um when we're
there she's been next to everything for a very long time and she likes seeing my wife who's
obviously moved away now um she's a hundred years old and we
played ball games.
Tipper tennis.
No we played ball
games with her all
afternoon.
Right.
And she was like
decent.
Like actually decent.
She's going to be
101 in January so
shout out Madeleine.
She won't be
listening but shout
out Madeleine.
Amazing achievement
for that.
I've never met a
centenary.
I've never met one
before.
Have you ever met
one of these 100?
No I don't think I have, actually.
No, because you're from Hartlepool.
60s are centenarians.
Yeah, it's a hard word to say.
But I mean,
I really wanted to ask her
so much stuff,
but obviously you just
turn into the guy
who's just hassling her
because she's old.
Stop hassling 100-year-olds.
Yeah, so I didn't ask her
as many questions as I wanted.
But amazing thing
to meet someone who's 100.
So what, Abby, 1919?
Yeah, she was born in 1919, yeah.
So it's like, would you have been,
I guess she would have been,
would she have been like a,
the war has ended, let's bone kind of baby?
That's a shame.
Why is that a shame?
Because she's a 100-year-old lady.
Well, how do you think babies get made?
Don't use the word.
Lots of babies were born in like 1946, weren't they?
I may not know a lot about a lot,
but when you're talking about people who are 100,
you do not use the phrase, let's bone.
It's disrespectful.
Darling, let's bone.
Let's begin the Congress.
Wrestle this back.
No, I'm bone sore.
I don't care.
What do you want for Christmas, mate?
I meant to ask you that.
What do you want for Christmas?
When you get to my age
you've already bought everything
haven't you
yeah my mum wished us that
my house is full of shit
I was in the doghouse last week
for um
my mum said to me
what do you want for Christmas
I said I don't know
then I realised
I needed a dressing gown
like a bathrobe kind of thing
so I get me a dressing gown
that's all I need
that'd be great
thank you very much
she's like okay fine
I'll get you one
then
completely forgot I said that
went to the Black Friday sales in the US,
bought one myself.
Yeah, well, she's fuming.
You bought a robe and then brought it back?
Yeah.
Did you not have enough trouble carting around the robe
we had to take around for the Football Ramble tour?
Yes.
Mimi took an extra suitcase with us, though,
so I could fit it in there.
So you don't want anything for Christmas, no?
What are you hoping to get from the Ramble Christmas dinner
Secret Santa on Saturday? We've not even set that up. These are going to to get from the Ramble Christmas Dinner Secret Santa
on Saturday?
We've not even set
that up.
These are going to
be panic buys.
Oh yeah.
Normally they're
really thoughtful.
What did Spellzy
get me?
Donald Trump mask.
I can't remember
what Spellzy.
It's hard though
isn't it?
It's hard to,
I think I bought
one of the Laura.
You bought me a
book one year,
a graphic novel.
Okay right.
Was that one of
the giant?
I don't know.
Yeah it was.
It's good that. Good quality. I think I bought somebody a video game system I bought but it happened to was that Order of the Giant I don't know yeah it was it's good that
good quality
I think I bought
somebody a video game
system I bought
but it happened to
go to one of the
Laura's from
Revisited
and she just
gave it away
because she didn't
want it
re-gifted it
outrageous
amazing
never mind
so you don't want
anything
I don't want the
Donald Trump mask
because I've only
got one
you can never
have too many
though can you no if you had the money you'd I don't want the Donald Trump mask because I've already got one. You can never have too many, though, can you?
No, no, no.
If you had the money,
you'd just spend it on a Donald Trump mask,
wouldn't you?
Anyway, that's that.
Imagine, like, cutting up, say,
20 to 30 Donald Trump masks
into, like, just the face portion
so it's recognisable as him.
It's all machine done, surely.
Yeah, but what if you cut them up,
like, after market,
after you've bought them,
and then made them into, like, a winter coat them, and then made them into like a winter coat?
Like a big leathery latex winter coat?
That would be some look, that.
Oh, wouldn't it just?
Wouldn't it just?
An absolute look.
My big Donald Trump coat.
Beautiful.
Have you heard of a group, or YouTube,
or you will because you've got a YouTube premium account,
called Ladbaby?
Yes.
It's like a lad Bible kind of, yes. It's like a lad Bible
kind of,
isn't it?
Like a lad Bible
kind of like.
No,
YouTube star and dad
blogger Lad Baby.
Yeah.
Has,
he's repped by the same
agent as us,
I believe.
Oh,
right.
Yeah.
I'd never heard of him.
He got offered a,
uh,
opportunity with him.
He's,
he had the Christmas
number one last year
and apparently he's
trying to get it this year
and he wants to get
the Christmas number
one every year.
Right,
okay,
yeah.
He doesn't like vegan sausage rolls,
that's all I've got on him.
Oh, is that that guy?
He was upset by vegan sausage rolls, I think.
He's got the same agent as us?
Yeah, I think so.
I can't slag him then, can I?
You can if you want.
I love sausage rolls,
so put another one in the oven, baby.
Is that what he's singing?
Yeah.
What, that's for this year?
Yeah.
What, he's still upset about the vegan?
This was last year.
He was upset about
the vegan sausage rolls.
Apparently he's rewritten
Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll
for this year's attempt,
once again extolling
the virtues of pork
stuffed pastry.
Oh yeah,
because last year's
number one was about
sausage rolls, wasn't it?
What was that song?
What was that based on?
What was that parody song?
Let me put it in perspective.
Until a minute ago,
I had no idea
who he existed.
I just thought you'd like it because you like YouTube.
Yeah.
I've got a YouTube account, yes.
I just don't...
I can't be arsed with the advert.
It's the best thing.
If you're thinking about it, get you set for Christmas.
Give someone a YouTube premium account.
It's the election today.
Yes.
People are voting all over the country.
Do vote.
It's important.
Check out the dogs that are voting, Paul. Yes, exactly. it's important if you've if you've registered
to vote
yes
exactly
it's a good hashtag
if you've registered
to vote
and you're going to vote
but now you can't be bothered
get out there and do it
but Peter
I believe
in some troubling news
okay
you had a falling out
with your father
Stuart
about the
political
climate
and the thing
that annoyed you the most
was that he was
sending you memes
but the JPEGs
were at a very low
resolution.
Yeah.
It was just
anti-carbon memes.
He'll occasionally
dip his toe into
the muddy waters
of a Diane Abbott
and they're always
just really poorly
done,
usually on
Microsoft Paintbrush.
Is your dad
doing them himself?
No.
No.
They'd be much higher quality
if he'd done them himself,
but he just forwards on...
Isn't it just called Microsoft Paint?
What did I say?
Paintbrush.
Or is that a different one?
Maybe it used to be called Paintbrush.
Can't remember.
But Deluxe Paint 3.
Remember that on the Omega?
Quality.
Draw.
Picture Toot and Carmoon.
Beautiful.
Do you remember Super Mario Paint?
I do a little bit, yeah.
Yeah, that was good.
Anyway, yeah, he forwards on,
there's a certain section of society
which are men
over 50
who are obsessed
with Diane Abbott
and Jeremy Corbyn
and all they do
is send memes
that have been forwarded
from their little
muggy groups
and they're the ones
who will decide
the selection,
unfortunately,
because they are
politically active
and they're all,
they've all gone
quite mental because they're scared of and they've all gone quite mental
because they're scared of the world
and things are moving a little bit too fast for them.
Is your dad involved in this?
He's folding them on.
He's clearly part of a couple of dodgy groups.
But what I don't understand here
is that there are people in my family
who have very different political opinions to me
and they know that,
so they won't send that kind of stuff to me.
So why is your dad sending them to you knowing what you like and what you don't like?'t send that kind of stuff to me so why is your dad
sending them to you
knowing what you like
and what you don't like
because he's a
better end like me
like we're exactly the same
right
but we just
but I'll just sort of go
dad
you know
balls out the bath
when Tories are in
people generally die
actually lose their lives
is this your serious voice
this is my serious voice
yeah
through
you know
just not having enough food
on the table
suicide
or other things
being declared fit to work
and they've got no legs
or whatever the fuck
yeah
and all that shit
people literally die
and um
my dad was like
oh what party
provides you
eternal life
and I was going
look dad
just google
fucking deaths
you know
and so I clip a couple of things
and send it on. This is in the family group.
This is 1am. I'm pissed.
I'm pissed. He's waking up.
So he's Corpus Mentis
and I'm Drunkus Maximus.
Because your dad famously gets up at 1am.
Yeah, exactly.
My mum was also inexplicably as well
so she got involved.
Whose side is she on?
She's on the sides of everyone's account. He's she's on the sides of everyone's account uh right he's kind of on the side of everyone's account and i'm on the side of everyone's account everyone's an idiot everyone is a is a is a is an
idiot in in in politics they're just out for themselves it's an embarrassment yeah um imagine
being an eight-year-old your first vote good god what a shower. But, yeah,
we're just in disagreement
and he is,
he looks at one of the pieces
that I forward him
and it's some Guardian writer
and he's like,
oh,
you're forwarding on a piece
from that woman,
you might as well
forward on something
from Owen Jones.
And I'm like,
Dad,
she's literally courting a figure
that is an inalienable truth.
It is,
people die.
People are dying.
Yeah.
And I'm like, you're such a ballad
I like him a lot
but he's
looking forward to Christmas dinner
they've been radicalised
there's a generation
of men
of men in this country
who have been radicalised
by the Daily Mail
and WhatsApp forwards
and Facebook
and Facebook
and Facebook yeah
don't get your news
from Facebook
or Fox News
that would be mine
or WhatsApp groups
and yeah WhatsApp groups and yeah
WhatsApp groups
I was going to ask
were you more annoyed
about the politics side of it
or the quality of the imagery
definitely the quality
of the imagery
just JPEGs
what kind of file size
are we talking
I mean there would be
20 kilobytes
for text
JPEG
if you're going to
look if you want crisp pictures
use a GIF
always go GIF
guys
if there's not that many colours in it
256 maximum
use a gif
ideally you want
a PSD don't you
that would not
be all about a phone
you wouldn't
you wouldn't
be ridiculous
what would you
do if you got
one and it
dropped into
your little
whatsapp
and it was
a tiff
well
we'd have a
lover's tiff
wouldn't we
you'd be loving
a tiff
tiff's alright
yeah you'd be
loving a tiff
wouldn't you
if you want
full wifi you want full wifi
you need full wifi for that
full wifi
you don't want to be
listen
that kind of chunk
listen
don't get me wrong
oh don't get me wrong
if I want to train
with minimal 3G
I do not want to be
looking at a tiff
no
I'll be waiting
until I get home for that
that's when you put a
that's when you drop
a JPEG in
yeah
alright let's see
what JPEGs
our listeners have
dropped into our inboxes
the other side
of this ad break
alright then
what is the charge
eating a meal
a succulent Chinese meal
how many times do you reckon
I said that when I went
for a Chinese buffet
with my family
upwards of five
yeah quite a lot
and the best thing was
some members of my family
had to actually explain
what it was
but that didn't deter me
it's good that they were
across it though
hello to Darren
Darren hello lads just a quick email regarding Marcus Waring and his frankly what it was, but that didn't deter me. It's good that they were across it, though. Hello to Darren.
Darren.
Hello, lads.
Just a quick email regarding Marcus Waring and his frankly unbelievable appearance
on Desert Island Discs a few months ago.
I told you, I heard it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I totally appreciate the guy can cook
and fair play to him.
He's good on TV,
tasting food and slagging chefs off,
but he is an absolute music vacuum.
Honestly, honestly,
every chef that goes on Desert Island Discs is an absolute disgrace.. Honestly, honestly, every chef that goes on Desert Iron Discs
is an absolute disgrace.
I've listed his choices
and the reasons for them below.
His first track was Tated Love
because his brother
had a Soft Cell album.
His second choice
was Come and Eileen
because his mum
is called Eileen.
Hopefully,
that was the only reason
for this one.
In a sinister twist, he also picked a Roytson track because it was the only tip his
dad and his dad had in his car yeah and to finish burt baccarat because he once rented a villa in
france and there was a burt baccarat cd in the stereo unbelievable darren that's a wonderfully
uh well i think i actually think his last one was skyfall by adele which is even more boring
but you know um there's something about being a chef,
and I've got a lot of respect
for Marcus Waring, of course.
He's brilliant on TV as well, by the way.
But there's something about chefs
that they have to be so into being a chef
that they just don't have time
for anything else.
Yeah, yeah.
And so, I mean,
I remember listening to Heston Blumenthal.
My God, it was boring.
He said that when,
he said,
genuinely said that
when all his pals
were out playing
and enjoying themselves
playing football
or playing games,
riding their bikes
or whatever,
he had a copy of,
I can't remember
the name of the book,
but some
seminal French cookbook
in French
and a French-English dictionary
and he would spend his time as a kid translating it
by hand.
It's a bit Michael Owen-y, isn't it?
Yeah, very much so.
Because it's something interesting and artsy
and something beloved by
the upper class, the old foe,
the old nosh.
It's regarded as being
a much more intelligent person.
He's obviously very intelligent.
He knows what he's doing.
But I think he thought I was trying to get off with his son once.
Oh, where's that come from?
Where has that come from?
It was at a birthday party and Heston Blumenthal was there with his son.
Was he catering it or was he actually there as a guest?
No, he was there as a guest.
Oh, let me just sit on this chair.
Oh, I can't, it's a flapjack.
And he was, yeah, and I was chatting to his son,
and his son was talking about how he lost his passport.
How old was his son?
18.
This is problematic.
And I think...
So he was probably about 15 then.
Because it was like a media-y kind of party,
I think Heston Bl I think might have assumed
that I was
radio DJ as well
well yeah
that was somehow
problematic
yeah
well I think
that's absolutely fair enough
it's a fair assumption
if you've been to
I mean have you been to
any parties
with any other
celebrity chefs or
no not really
no
my wife's a big fan
of Marcus Waring
she loves him
she loves Michel Roux as
well.
You never
stop talking
about him?
Yeah, it's
true actually.
His name is
all over my
house.
I remember
hearing a
friend of a
friend had
sex with a
popular chef
and his
personal hygiene
was not
great.
Is it the
same party or
not?
What?
No.
Conor's been in touch with an email
about sausage meat
he says
there's no sausage cheese
in anything
he actually starts
the email very nicely
he says
yeah come on
he says
good afternoon guys
hope all is well
with you both
you mentioned Christmas
dinners a few shows ago
and it touched a nerve
with me as my last
few Christmas dinners have been surrounded by controversy and it touched a nerve with me as my last few Christmas dinners
have been surrounded by controversy relating to sausage meat.
Now, the reason I got this email in there is because I have a similar situation
in my family.
So I thought until Connor emailed in,
I was the only family that had sausage meat with their Christmas dinner.
Do you have sausage meat with your Christmas dinner?
No.
God, no.
Why would I do that?
That's what everyone says.
Connor says,
I've settled down with a lovely young girl,
one who grew up in a quaint village outside Winchester,
while I was dragged up in the doldrums of Southampton.
Poor you.
Now, I appreciate Luke may understand where I'm coming from here
when I say there is a rather sizable gap in class and upbringing,
cheeky,
and we often exchange stories that leave my better half
nothing short of horrified.
Most of them I can understand, but I will never forget the tumbleweed I was met with
when I suggested serving up sausage meat for Christmas dinner with her family.
It's a staple on my plate, but a completely alien idea to her and her family.
Where do you go stand on this delicious slab of meat?
And I wondered if there were any other foods added to the Christmas dinner plates around the world
which were met with equal derision.
Keep up the good work and have a very merry festive season.
Thanks, Connor.
So...
It would give you a little extra something,
especially if you're having turkey or something.
And also, it's kind of similar to stuff in a menu, isn't it?
Yeah, it's like a really meat...
So it's basically like sausage without the skin on it.
It's fucking delicious.
And we have it all the time.
We have mealy puddings as well,
as a nod to our Scottish heritage
but I don't think
I've met another family
that has sausage meat
on their Christmas dinner
until Connor emailed in
no
how do you feel about it
you'd have it would you
I'd be up for it
but I think it's
yeah it's not
it's not normal
what are your
what are your
kind of
what's your perfect
kind of Christmas dinner
plate
never had one never had one
never had one
I've told you about my mum's
no but what
what ingredients
do you want to see on there
um
just a cream of
horseradish sauce
that's the first
thing you're saying
yeah
surely the first thing
is turkey no
no um
the most important things
are cream of horseradish sauce
which I'll eat with anything
to be quite honest
you're supposed to have
that with beef
but carry on
I'll have that with anything
um but also um also the roasties are the are the kings and things like that. Creamy horseradish sauce, which I'll eat with anything to be quite frank. You're supposed to have that with beef, but carry on. Yeah, I'll have that with anything.
But also,
also the roasties are the kings.
Yeah.
And then maybe
a Yorkshire pudding
after that.
Everything else
can take care of itself,
I think.
Turkey?
I don't like turkey, yes.
Does your mum make turkey?
No, she usually goes
for like cold cuts,
effectively.
We have cold cuts
and we make it hot
by pouring gravy onto it. That's actually dangerous, you know that? It's dangerous. No, it's for cold cuts, effectively. We have cold cuts, and we make it hot by pouring gravy onto it.
That's actually dangerous, you know that.
It's dangerous.
No, it's like cold cuts.
I've got a cold meat.
You're supposed to not do that,
because if you reheat meat like that,
poultry, part way,
you can make yourself really sick.
Yeah, but you're only putting gravy on it
and then jam it in your mouth.
It's not going to be massive.
You're not boiling it.
I hear it again, I hear it.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
I hope she never listens to any of this.
Is Christmas going to be good?
Out of ten, what's it going to be?
Six?
A lot of politics, a lot of food chat.
Goodness me.
Goodness me.
That's a redacted name of chef.
Not Marcus Waring.
Oh, that's the guy. That's what I was talking name of chef. Not Marcus Waring. That's the person. Yeah, no, that's the guy.
Oh, that's the guy.
That's what I was talking about.
He didn't eat his cinnamon.
Okay.
Oh, dear.
Oh, good.
Oh, good.
Very good.
Should we do one more email very quickly?
All right, cool.
This is a good one, actually.

Should I do one from this guy?
You can have a quick one from John McNair
before you get to your one.
Go on, then.

after a few weeks. She said,

She said, I'm Battleaxe, I'm glad you is.
I thought she was taking the piss. I got home, googled her, and it was
actually her. Wow. Thank you, John.
That's a very good email.
