The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 199.86: Get a walnut in your bicep

Episode Date: January 9, 2020

Remember Mr Frosty? No-one owned one. You only ever saw them on adverts. Did they even sell them? Pete wants to know if they had a strong blade inside in order to cut up the ice. He's going to look for one on eBay. Elsewhere we hear about a man who got a tattoo in front of someone famous but didn't realise, find out the best way to crack a nut, and run the rule over The Witcher. There's also a man who has bought more San Pellegrino than anyone else, and a few musical treats into the bargain. Tell us how you really feel: [e-mail]***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

🎵 Hello everyone, welcome to Luke and Pete's show. This is Luke, that's Pete. I'm chucking in the intro because Pete, you look like you're in the middle of doing something. Uh, no, just changing tabs on my browser. No worries. Happy Thursday everyone. Happy Thursday. It's Thursday. No worries. Happy Thursday, everyone. Happy Thursday. It's Thursday.

We are now balls deep into January. We are. I'm fuming because I was about to get a cup of tea for me and a white Americano for you, Pete. Aye. And the bloody fire alarm went off. I went to Greg's instead. I couldn't be arsed waiting around for teas and coffees.

Was there a Greg's up there? Yeah, there was a Greg's up there. Where is it? In the little bit in Highbury? Yeah, mad, isn't it? You don't expect it. I didn't even know that. It's in between, I think, a cobbler's and a cafe, there's a Greggs up there. Where is it? In the little bit in Highbury? Yeah, mad, isn't it? You don't expect it. I didn't even know that. It's in between, I think,

a cobbler's and a cafe and you've got the Greggs in the middle. They just run out of the vegan steak Becks wanted to try. It must be new because last time I went up there, which was a long time ago, to be fair,

it only had a lot of those posh Yummy Mummy's Highbury cafe type things. Did you see, I think I saw you, my mate got an Ocado one of the Sainsbury's maybe

he was the number one purchaser of a half a litre bottle of San Pellegrino in the whole

of Islington like you get a little score and that's a pat list I mean come on if you said

to me San Pellegrino number one purchaser in Hartlepool or Gosport not many people are buying

San Pellegrino in Islington probably the number one thing flying off the shelves the old fizzy water but yeah Ben

Ben isn't his name and I'm really proud of him did he get some sort of reward for it a voucher no he just said you are the number one person he says it because

he buys it every day for his meal deal so that's how he managed to bag it I guess people yeah my father-in-law got a great hack for fizzy water.

He's got a soda stream. Soda stream. Yeah. Does it work? Yeah, it works fine. Yeah, but then you've got to get rid of it. Keeps it in the fridge. Got rid of the little tubes of gas, haven't you?

What do you mean? The tubes of gas, the canisters. Yeah, whip those out. Bang, you've got yourself some hippie crack. Hoot! I like when you suppress on the soda stream like three or four times. Who remembers the 80s? Yeah. And it was called hoot. I don't remember that. Well, it soda stream like three or four times. Who remembers the 80s? Yeah.

And it would just go, Hoot! I don't remember that. Well, it was just basically... I'll tell you what I do remember. It was saying, stop pressing this. Oh, okay.

It was going to explode. I'll tell you what I do remember. Mr. Frosty. Oh, apparently nobody ever bought those. I wish I had one. My mum wouldn't get me one. Yeah, exactly. Nobody got bought one.

Only like really weird kids who had everything else first. You can still get them. Let's buy one for the office. And then when everyone's getting really warm and wondering about how warm the studio is, let's get the Mr. Frosty, the crushed ice.

Get the Mr. Frosty out. Get the Mr. Frosty out. I reckon that parents objected to paying like 30 quid for something that was essentially just a thing that smashed a lot of ice into bits. And you had to squeeze your own flavour on it. Do you reckon there was any metal inside, like a metal blade that you could probably get your fingers into?

Oh, I hope so. Pete, surely you can get one of those off eBay and take it apart. I'm not having a dirty old Mr. Freeze. I'm buying new or not at all, sunshine. Mr. Freeze is the bad guy played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Batman and Robin. We're talking about Mr. Frosty here, mate. Mr. Frosty, sorry.

We sound like old shit comedians, don't we? Why are so many... Cool off. Why is there so many... Why is there such a high percentage of comedians that are fucking shit? Is it just because I'm old now?

I don't think you watch much comedy. I've decided. I'm a basic bitch when it comes to comedy. No, you just... You just don't like comedians so you don't listen.

You don't consume them. But they all look like students who never grew up and you sound so old I'm asking you whether it's because I'm old well I mean

they would be dressed exactly as you were dressed surely what are you wearing jeans yeah but I'm not going on stage am I no you're doing a podcast

I'll be fuck all I'll be dressed like a rat pack if I was on stage this podcast has already been successful even though neither of us are stand-ups.

We've just been doing it longer. Yeah. We've built, we've earned that, we've earned that pop, quite frankly. I think that, I think that,

you know, anyone can do it, that's why. Anyone can stand up there and talk shit, can't they? Yeah, they can,

but I mean, you've got to do it good. You've got to be able to write it properly, haven't you? Good, excellent. I was going to speak to you about Australian bushfires it good. You've got to be able to write it properly, haven't you? Good, excellent. I was going to speak to you about Australian bushfires.

We haven't mentioned that. They're probably still going. They are. And it's absolutely horrendous and terrifying. No one needs me to say it, but to add to it, I mean, everyone should donate where they can to help out all the poor people over there, of course, and obviously try and rescue some of the animals

that are in danger of perishing I think half a billion have already been killed horrendous but the reason I wanted to bring it up is just because I wanted

to bring it into perspective something that really kind of blew my mind when I was looking into this this week so there's a lot of photos earlier this week which put onto Twitter

of a glow almost like a fire sourced glow over Auckland in New Zealand. And I don't think people have got a good handle on how far away New Zealand is from Australia. I think it was just off the coast or whatever, but it isn't. Now,

people in New Zealand can now see the glow from these Australian bushfires. It's almost two and a half thousand kilometres away. So to put that in perspective, that's like us being able to see the globe from fires in Albania. That's how fierce it is.

It's incredible, isn't it? It's a three hour, ten minute flight away at Auckland from Sydney. Why isn't it affecting flights? Because obviously when a volcano pops off. I'm not sure.

It probably is. It probably is. But yeah, I hope everyone, if you're listening from the amazing country of Australia, please do stay safe. And we send you our best. I just like the fact that I like it.

I don't like it, but I'm just saying that obviously Australia have a bit of a hard man leader. And historically, they've kind of always gone for that kind of, not authoritarian, but slightly right wing. He fucked off to Hawaii for a couple of weeks.

He was in Hawaii, wasn't he? He came back to some town and got shouted out there. Did you see that? It was like in the thick of it. Do you know what it's like he? He came back to some town and got shouted out there. Did you see that? It was like in the thick of it. Do you know what it's like to clean up your own mother's piss? Yeah, it is magnificent. These people are just like,

yeah, you're getting all vouched around here, mate. Yeah. Fuck off. When politicians decide at some point they either get convinced by an advisor

or they suddenly wake up one morning and go, do you know what? I'm going to go and see the bloody people today. Yeah. And every single time if they're of that persuasion

they get absolutely battered. I just think it's a situation where these strongman authoritarian leaders all around the world they're fine until they have to actually do some governing. Yeah. And then they are found out massively.

We're going to get this with Johnson in Iran. We're going to get this with well obviously Donald Trump is a man thrashing around in his own piss but all of these authoritarians they can't really govern they can only say that they hate Muslims

that's all they can really do in 2019 2020 and when they actually have to come up with an actual fucking plan for a crisis they've surrounded themselves with people who know fuck all and so therefore you look at, like you look at Trump and Iran, like they don't have any Iran experts.

They got rid of all of them. So like their actual, their actual concept behind, you know, any kind of process, they don't have one because they don't have any plans and they don't have the machinery to do it. Well, the Kings of saying what they would do.

Yeah. Yeah. This is what we would do. So basically don't, it's another old shit. That's not the EU, but we don't worry about it. What we'll do is we just put a really good, it's another old shit. That's not the EU. But don't worry about it. All we'll do is we'll just put

a really good trade deal together and it's the easiest thing in the world. And then literally we're saying things like it'll be the easiest trade deal in history to do. Yeah. And then you have to actually do it and they're like,

oh, got to do it now. Turns out this is 30 years of incremental improvements, isn't it? The thing that really made me, the one thing that sticks in my mind about the Iran ordering of that,

essentially assassination, was that the New York Times reported, and I'll just read it to you. Officials presented the president with options. The Pentagon tacked on the choice of targeting Soleimani, mainly to make other options seem reasonable. They didn't think he would take it. When Mr. Trump chose the option,

military officials flabbergasted, were alarmed. Don't give him the option. Hang on a minute. What we'll do... You've learnt nothing. The most volatile, idiotic bloke probably in the world will give him a really stupid option to make the other options look better.

That's a gamble, isn't it? To me, that's a low percentage play. If I've got a guy... So, for example, Pete, if I've got a guy who's mad, and I say to him you can have that steak dinner

or you can have that plate of dog shit right I'm not putting a plate of dog shit in there to make the steak look better because he might choose the dog shit

exactly that's the problem then you've got a man covered in dog shit haven't you yeah oh dear anyway

welcome to Luke and Pete sure everything's got a shit turns out and I'm fine with it I'm cool with it I did say didn didn't I, at the end of last year

that the next ten years can't be as mental as the last five. But it's got off to a bloody good start. Third of January. If anything, it's just maintaining it.

It is maintaining it. I was, I got back to my flat late last night and after a lovely Christmas, you know, it's pretty recorded,

sharp. Poppies, you know that I live above a fish shop yeah I knocked on your door on the 18th of December with my friends see if you want to come out

for a beer but you did not answer well did you knock because I'm two floors up I hope you I pressed all the buttons all of them I didn't know which one

yours was well that's not very good is it I pressed all of them well I just wake up all of my neighbours no one was in not one person was in

yeah because we live in the centre of Soho people think it's a brothel so people are dinging the doorbell all hours of the day oh okay

poppies fish shop yes the reason I say that is because you live above it right your second choice was just have some

fish and chips yeah it was closed yesterday because of a staff party right and I was thinking it's almost in the middle of January and they because of a staff party right and I was thinking it's just like you know

almost in the middle of January and they're having like a staff presumably what is a Christmas party yeah some people do that because it's cheaper yeah

but I'm just thinking what it's a fish shop an oily fish shop party what do they do these people with proper jobs do have time to have fun as well you know

I'm just saying no but like it was closed because they were having the party in poppies. Oh, okay, right. I think. I think that was the case. Well, you'd hope not. Well, I don't want them putting the bum on the deep fryer

like a four copier. When you said that, I assumed you were thinking, oh, there's not one person who didn't want to go to the Christmas party that can't keep the shop open. Right, yeah. Because they've obviously all just gone to the pub or something. I would have kept an eye out. I could have fried a few interesting items for the people.

Did you actually want some fish and chips? No, no, no. I'd eat a full roast dinner. Where's the fish and chips sit in your top five kind of takeaways? Not really up there, to be honest. Yeah, it's behind Chinese, Japanese. Curry? What was that?

Chinese, Japanese, funny knees. Look at these. Yeah, don't do that it heads into racist territory at that point we're fine at that point we're fine no but it's prompting it's prompting

if anything you were given a platform yeah but I can't remember the racist bit I'm so woke I can't remember I've kept the bits that I enjoyed

I kept the rhyme but I've got rid of the racism on Monday we found that you were 8 out of 10 happy and if it went below 6 you would start to request intervention well I've got to keep on going I've got rid of the racism. On Monday we found that you were 8 out of 10 happy and if it went below 6 you would start to

request intervention. Well I've got to keep on going. I've got to get the bus going quickly. How woke are you out of 10 in 2020? I don't know. Maybe I'll regress. Maybe I'll just turn to one of those people who identify as a attack helicopter.

That sort of thing. I don't think you're going to get more woke as you get older are you? Not many people do that. Nah. Many people get kind of left behind. Nah, I reckon I'll be one of those chill people who kind of go, ah, I'm relaxed about everything, man.

And don't really offer opinion more than the other. I think that's the thing. Don't become more opinionated. Become less opinionated. Then you'd be less angry about stuff. Hard when you're a broadcaster, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, but you don't have to be reactionary. You don't have to be like, you can be less angry about stuff. Harbour, you're a broadcaster, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah, but you don't have

to be a reactionary. You don't have to be like, you can be a nice broadcaster. Who's that bloke that's on Mourners on Radio 2, Popmaster? Ken.

Oh, Ken Bruce. Ken Bruce. Yeah. I'm Ken Bruce. Or Matt Baker. The BBC's Matt Baker. Yeah. He's a bloody lovely fella.

Oh, Paul Knight. What's his name? Dotton. Paul Knight. No, not Dotton. The Scottish guy. Yeah, Scottish guy who obviously did his show

from in the middle of nowhere in America. It was really weird. But I used to listen to him for fucking years. Rod Sharp. My name is Rod Sharp and this is Up All Night. I'm delighted you remember the name. That's unlike you, isn't it? I mean, I listened to it a lot.

I should be able to. Speaking of... Graham Torrington's Late Night Love Links. I can see you doing that. I can see you doing that I can see you doing it Pete Donaldson you can change your name though you have to change your name just

change your name to Dave Clifton speaking of wokeness did you see that there was a very interesting interview with Terry Gilliam in the Independent

again he's you know I think he literally opened with, I'm fed up of white men being blamed for everything. He said, I'm fed up of talking about this film that I've been trying to make

for like 20 years. Yeah. And I am. What was it? Don Quixote. Yeah. Yeah. But he, but again,

you just know you'll get headlines if you just say this wank. Yeah. The thing is, Terry Gilliam is so comfortable. Him selling it. It doesn't affect him in any way. It doesn't matter. Unless he commits an actual crime and has to go to jail, he can kind of do comfortable. Him selling it. It doesn't affect him in any way. It doesn't matter.

Unless he commits an actual crime and has to go to jail, he can kind of do what he wants and it's not going to affect him. He's not going to worry about his bottom line. No, exactly. Yeah, he's probably pretty well.

You get a certain category of older, mostly older men who have got to the stage where they just don't give a shit. Well, if you can wait for 20 years to make a film, you're probably alright

for a couple of quid. I've seen his house in Highgate. It's huge. Huge! One of as many houses, I imagine. Yeah, I imagine he's got plenty.

I'll finish watching The Witcher. Oh, good! I enjoyed it. Did you play The Witcher? No, is it a good game? So the reason why I think,

yeah, I think that's fair to say, the reason why The Witcher TV show exists, I think, is the popularity of The Witcher 3 video game, which was a real trip.

It's excellent. So they're available on the Switch now. A wonderful little convention. So my brother-in-law, Adam, is a big fan of all the books. Yes. And he was very excited. And they trailed it quite heavily. Well, Henry Cavill plays Geralt, doesn't he?

Yes. I've got the names. I've got the names from the video games. Isn't it Cavill? What? Isn't it Henry Cavill? Shit. Doesn't matter. We I've got the names. I've got the names from the video. Isn't it Cavill? What? Isn't it Henry Cavill? Shit. Doesn't matter.

We know what you mean. He, that beautiful man who ticks a lot of boxes for me, sexually. He's from the Channel Islands. Is he really? I think he is. Tell me right off, Fazz. I went out with someone from the Channel Islands, and that didn't go

well nice colour he's a big fan of the Witcher video game so he really wanted to get involved oh that's nice yeah he's from

Jersey I just checked oh that's really cool actually that's great so he's really into the project and is it any good

I thought it was really good I think the battle scenes are good a lot of people comparing it to Game of Thrones but obviously that's not what it's about but it's good a lot of people comparing to Game of Thrones but obviously that's not

what it's about but it's a similar kind of text they based it on you'd probably say yeah well Netflix have obviously trailed it so heavily because people they're banking on people

looking for a a way to fill that Game of Thrones shaped hole but I thought Yennefer is Ciri in it his daughter

yeah cool they're all in it but the great thing you actually just said Ciri you've got a lot of source material to work with of course plot wise it's decent Siri in it, his daughter. Yes, yeah. Cool. They're all in it. But the great thing, you actually just said Siri. You've got a lot of source material to work with, of course. So plot-wise, it's decent.

Apparently, this first series is only based on a couple of the prequels. There's a lot to go. The battle scenes are good. The CGI is well rendered. The acting's decent. Cavill's a pretty good actor. Everyone gets their tits out all the time,

man and female. Cool. So just take your clothes off guys tick tick tick enjoy it tick tick tick I'd love to know where they filmed it

because it's filmed very beautifully Chiswick is it Chiswick Park is it filmed in the other office with Sam Greenstream

it looks very good yeah Henry Cavill is a very attractive man he's also colossally big you know when people just go to a gym and they build up

their muscles or whatever? But he's obviously got a huge frame as well. Triangle. Yeah, he's massive. I've interviewed him. He could... He's like... Could he crush your head like a walnut on his bicep?

Probably, yeah. My granddad used to crush walnuts on his bicep. Did he? Yeah. I want to try that. It's hard. Is it? Yeah.

Have you got to have really big biceps or really big forearms? I think a bit of both, yeah. Oh, I might have a crack at that. Let's do that. A crack at that, literally. Let's get some walnuts for next week.

Alright, I will. Polly walnuts. Make a night of it. Do I have a production budget for walnuts? Yeah, probably get some. But yeah, so I've enjoyed it and I think I've not really

seen many people... 10 ticks. One thing I do like about it as well, by the way, is it's got a real sense of humour. So it's like, it's not, it doesn't take itself

so seriously that it's a bit of a drag yeah a lot of horrific stuff goes on but it's a bit of fun as well that's why the games are fun too yeah

love the game love the game I've watched Don't Fuck With Cats oh you've heard a lot about that as well very good I don't like the idea of a cat being killed so I don't want to watch it

well this is the whole ten out of the of the whole people's arguments man of a cat being killed so I don't want to watch it. Well, this is the whole tenor of the whole people's argument. Man abuses a cat

or a couple of cats and then enrages some people and they go out in search of

this man who goes on to do something if not worse. The slim. Don't say it. I'm going to spoiler it. I mean it's a true life crime so you shouldn't really sort of go if not worse, The Slim. Don't say it. I'm going to spoiler it. Yeah, don't say it. I mean, you know,

it's a true life crime. So you shouldn't really sort of go, oh, I need the suspense to be interested in the documentary. But it's pretty horrific. The thing I've got

on my list to watch is Tell Me Who I Am, which is another Netflix doc, which is supposed to be brilliant. So maybe I'll add that to the list. I also spent last Saturday, Pete, putting a TV on the wall

and the shelf and I was able to do it. Mate. I was very proud of myself. Let me talk about Visa brackets. Talk to me about the brackets. No, I just drilled into the wall. Through the front of the screen?

Yeah. I mean, I presume there was some fixing bracket going on. Bang and now. No, I've got one of those tilting wall mounts. Yeah, okay, cool. So it's like that, and you can tilt it down if you want to watch it in bed, and tilt it up again. Visa compliant?

Does it come out of the headboard I don't know what you're saying visa compliant what does that mean it's like a standard for mounts on monitors I didn't know that

okay it probably is so hang on so it's on the wall and you can tilt it down and up I'll show you a picture down and up

I'll show you a little picture picture of the witcher there we go there it is there oh nice what's underneath it it's a shelf with a PS4 on it PS4 Show you a little picture of my finished candy. Picture of the Witcher. There we go. There it is there. Oh, nice. What's underneath it? It's a shell with a PS4 on it. PS4.

A little bed-based PS4. Yeah, like that. Like it. For when the wife kicks me out. Is that your... Well, you'll be kicked out of the bed. She'll be in the bed, won't she? No, but that's a sparing bed.

Sparing bed. Oh, mate. So you've got a sparing bed. A little man cave, isn't it? A little man cave. I'm cute. 40 this year. I had you pegged as better.

It's going to be 40 this year. I had you pegged as something better. Got no kids. Outrageous. Emails. Let's do some emails, but let's take a break first. It's Farmer Meemaw,

and today I'm going to show you what I've been doing to take care of the pantry moth situation. Yeah, I should read you some more of those. It's back to the Luke and Pete Show, and if you want to get introduced to the show, it is hello at lukenpeteshow.com I took over the reading

out of the email there because Luke last week got it wrong. Monday. It was on Monday. I got that wrong. Hi Luke and Pete says Paul O'Brien

possibly a third O'Brien brother from Radiohead. Possibly not. Is it Ed O'Brien? Yeah. Is it something else O'Brien? Is there?

I know Ed O'Brien. Oh no. Who are the two brothers in Radiohead? Johnny Greenwood and the other Greenwood. It's the Greenwoods I think. That's Ed O'Brien. Oh, no. Who are the two brothers in Radiohead? Johnny Greenwood and the other Greenwood? It's the Greenwoods, I think, yeah. It's the Greenwoods. Ignore me.

Hi, Luke and Pete. Long time listener. First time emailing. Lovely to have you along, P.O.B. Just wondering if Luke could give me more information about his Taskmaster experience. I'm planning to hold a Taskmaster-based over the next 12 months

with the final task being inspired by his last task of finding the Taskmaster in Zone 1. Any ideas for tasks would be greatly appreciated and how was each task monitored and judged? Did you have a situation where there were alternative tasks that could have been the task for the final that he was going to go for? No, I don't think so.

Right. Was it that or nothing? My friend Duncan was the guy who ran the whole thing and he's the brains behind it, so I wouldn't think so right that or nothing my friend Duncan was the guy who ran the whole thing and he's the brains behind it so I wouldn't want to steal any of his thunder

but what used to happen was Paul we'd get an envelope through the post once a month with a seal on it a stamp on it open it up

and it'd have the task in there with all the instructions you need and then at the end of each month there would be an unveil date

and he would tell you the scores I think you came first that month. You got five points. Second, third. Third, two. And hang on. You won, you got five points.

You come second, you got three. You come third, you got two. You come fourth, you got one. There was a bonus live task on the unveil date as well. So you had to be logged into the WhatsApp group at that time on that date. And he would send you a task. And the first person to respond correctly with that easier task, you'd get an extra point.

And then... Could you mail each other things? No. To, like, confuse people? I could have done that. Could you do a bit of... Or just send them writing? No, but if I had sent, like, a fake task,

it would have been outed pretty quick, and I probably would have been punished. But... Right. Because he's quite a well-connected guy, Duncan, and also a very kind of thoughtful guy he was able to get other people to judge

certain tasks so for example the task where you had to pop a balloon in the most creative way possible he got a guy from Aardman

to judge it Aardman animation yeah where's that come from because we made animations and videos of how we did it so he got to judge it.

So there's lots of different things that went on. Yeah, it was fun. I could probably put you in touch with him on Twitter if you want, mate. Just hit me up and I will put you in the right direction. Paul also says in this email, Pete, love the show. My 2019 highlight came only a few weeks ago when you were both having a bit of back and forth

and Pete congratulated the random contestant on MasterChef to Professionals pretending to spoil the finale to which Luke's response was, you fucking prick. having a bit of back and forth, and Pete congratulated the random contestant on MasterChef to Professionals, pretending to spoil the finale, to which Luke's response was, you fucking prick. The genuine annoyance from playful arguments is recognisable to anyone with a friend like Pete. Hewitt, the good work.

Paul, I still haven't seen the finale yet, so don't spoil it. I sound cool. On my radio show, I used to do a legendary, and it is legendary, quiz every week. Oh, give me the big licks. No, I don't have a radio show. That's it. I've got a radio show, I used to do a legendary, and it is legendary, quiz every week. Oh, give me the big licks.

No, I don't have a radio show. That's it. I've got a radio show. I've had it for five minutes. Sort of thing you should have done on your radio show and you wouldn't have lost it. Pete, I used to do... Congratulations to Arbinder for winning MasterChef.

Are you fucking wanker? I'm not, I'm not. I looked at the list at the start. You fucking prick. You absolute prick. I was trying to think of a name that couldn't be Andy Albinder. There's a lot of them at the start, isn't there? I think we can all agree that I sounded cool.

I agree with you. Steve, with a Rissol. Have you got another email there, Pete? Because I've got one, but I need to queue it up. All right, then. Hello to William Darby, the Luke, and the Pete. Greetings from Beijing, chaps. I spent my holiday period listening to the back catalog

of another Stakhanov podcast, namely Rest of Me. Great. And it reminded me of something that happened while I was travelling around the US in summer 2012.

It's not hugely related to any recent chat on the Luke and Pete show, but I thought it might be in your wheelhouse. About one month into the trip, myself and a friend found ourselves in Chicago

and he decided for some reason that this was the city in which to get a new tattoo. I love Chicago. I like holiday tattoos. Have you ever had one? Did you see that Jack, who does the Jackmate show on Stakhan in which to get a new tattoo. I like holiday tattoos. Have you ever had one? Did you see that Jack who does the Jack Mate show

on Stakhanov? He was getting a tattoo. His mate got a tattoo of his YouTube channel because he lost a bet. Whoa! Trouble. The night Gav does

RKG. He used to work for IGN and someone's got hand tattoos with RKG on them. Hand tattoos. That's too far. That's wild, isn't it?

That's wild. Too far. while sitting in the I got a really bad tattoo on a trip to Berlin have I seen it? in a restaurant it's the Grim Fandango one

it looks terrible and I was very hungover so I bled like a fucker let me have a look it's Manny Calavella I can't lift my calves do you know my socks by the way? they're

snack crackle and Pop. Oh, yeah, Rice Krispies. Rice Krispies. Grim Fandango. Rice Krispies, Grim Fandango. Manny Calavera from Grim Fandango. Oh, yeah, no, I know what it is. Yeah, I've seen it.

Anyway, whilst in the chair mid-inking, a familiar-looking guy came in. He apologised and asked the artist if he could have a quick chat. Proceeding stopped, and they had a conversation that was obviously business-related. The guy had a look at my arm, said it looked good and walked out. As the artist started again, I turned to him and the conversation

went something like this. Me? Was that the lead singer of Cancer Bats? Oh yeah. I like Cancer Bats, they're good. Artist, no it was CM Punk. He owns the place. Nice, CM Punk is from Chicago, isn't he? Popping in. Just popping in. I know he's from Chicago

because I looked him up when I saw that email and I was getting him confused with John Cena right okay two very different physicalities if I was going to

dress up cosplay style as any wrestler it would probably be CM Punk he's got a very similar hairline to mine you've interviewed

John Cena haven't you yes I have massive legs yeah big boy I love Chicago by the way it's a great town yeah

great news we played there didn't we yeah super if I think if you had to work in a business environment

with CM Punk you would not have a nice time why is it it's just very intense is it yeah needlessly intense more intense than me bullish I would say

more intense than me yeah more intense than me? Bullish, I would say. More intense than me? Yeah, more intense than me. More intense than John? No. Literally, no one is. What about this, Pete, from Alec Lodge in Essex? He says, following on from your Are You Hanging Up Your Stocking on the Wall?

Do you remember that? Yeah. You played that. It was Slade's... I can't remember the name of the song, but... Here It Is, Merry Christmas, I guess? It might be called Merry Christmas Everyone isn't it

no that's something else that's Shaggy Stevens isn't it I'll tell you a Christmas song you don't hear anymore Rolf Harris Gary Glitter's one Gary Glitter's did Gary Glitter have one

I want a rock and roll to Christmas I want a Christmas rock and roll that is disappointing because that's a good song I know and it probably wasn't

you know what's a good song Gary because you don't hear it every five minutes that's why anyway are you following on from where you're hanging up

your stocking on the wall for those of you who haven't heard that go back a couple episodes and listen to it I thought I'd send you this ridiculous edit of Africa by Toto

but all the lyrics are in alphabetical order no idea why someone would even do this interestingly drums echoing appeared to be the only word still together in this edit here we go so someone's basically cut the song africa by toto that everyone knows in a way that puts every word in the song in order alphabetically here we go

it's a bit of a longer intro than i remember so i apologize total gets used for a lot of these things, because it's quite an iconic track. Everyone knows it, I guess. Yeah. So you're going to win. Africa by Toto. Alphabetised, is what it says. Nice.

Oh, no. Stuck on Africa for a while. There's no craft to this. Just work. Move on to the Bs. We're on conversation now. A lot of do's if I played this you'd insist that I

stopped it anyway you get the idea stop that I got as far as F which is fair you've reached my limit yeah

can I interest you in this? What's this? Mark Piggott has come up with this one. Hang on. There we go. Working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. Don't you want me by humanly? Yeah.

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. A cocktail bar. It's actually very good, yeah. It's a very well rendered one. He hasn't re-recorded the vocals, which is good. I can't wait for the chorus it's got to be working yeah

what a way to finish I'm going to outro over the top of this. Luke and Pete show. That's Thursday's episode done. Thank you very much for tuning in. We'll see you on Monday. Hello at lukeandpeteshow.com to get in touch with all your nonsense.
