The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 199.91: One Litre Peter

Episode Date: January 27, 2020

Why has Pete brought a meat thermometer into the office? That's point number one on today's Luke and Pete Show agenda, swiftly followed by getting to the bottom of some graffiti that Donny partook in as a child. Naughty naughty...Elsewhere, there's talk of Nalgene sponsoring the show (although sadly that talk is coming exclusively from Luke), and we find out the weirdest thing one of our listeners has dug up in their garden, as well as hearing about some of those sweet free DVDs you guys received when purchasing your very first DVD players.To get in touch: [e-mail]***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

I didn't even know they could get pregnant! Hello, this is the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Luke Miller, and we are back for a Monday. Recording in the early afternoon. Yeah, we've had a few things to take care of this morning, haven't we? So, get that out of the way. Yep, took them round the back of the shed, shot them in the early afternoon. Yeah, we've had a few things to take care of this morning, haven't we? So get that out of the way. Yep. Get them done. Took them round the back of the shed, shot them in the head. Well, I was actually going to blame someone for it then,

but now you've said that, I can't. Okay, right. I was going to name and shame who caused us to record late. Why? Who? Andy Brassel. Andy Brassel. Jules Breach. Jules Breach.

But to confirm... Breaching our professionalism. Peter has not shot anyone. No. Let alone a colleague and friend no but where are they is the question

they've gone do you know where your Jules Breach is right now do you know where your Andy Brassel is right now check your cupboards

have you done a Chris Partlow Snoop with them have you seen The Wire yeah whoa steady you always have to go at me about spoilers

no it's not a spoiler that's a big one it's not a spoiler is it it's a big one is it it's a big boy shoots Snoop in the it's a big one is it it's a big boy shoots Snoop in the head 2007

I didn't realise Snoop was a lady for a long time in that TV show and she is a bit of a wronging as well she's uh in and out of jail

she lives the life doesn't she second degree murder wow yeah is she in the clink no not anymore that was way back

in the day way back in the day I think she was a friend of Michael K Williams who plays Omar and he invited her to the set and said come and have a look

hey Snoop she kind of talks like this don't she yeah she's great why would she say hey Snoop when she's actually looking into her mirror

isn't she oh okay fine checking her hair obvious answer sorry about that and yeah and then she ended up getting cast

and Stephen King was it Stephen King who said she was the most terrifying oh there's a spooky ghost that's what he says isn't it oh look out And Stephen King, was it Stephen King who said she was the most terrifying? Ooh, there's a spooky ghost. That's what he says, isn't it? I think he said she's a...

Ooh, look how spooky. There's a car. What could talk? I've never seen Christine. Have you finished? No. He said she was the most terrifying female antagonist in TV history or something. Yeah.

Because she's so sort of... What they talk about, isn't it the banality of evil? Yeah. I mean, you talk about 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz coming up and one of the

I think it's I think it's a quote from that kind of that kind of situation where someone remarks on the banality of evil how it just becomes

routine yeah the human mind's ability to adjust to just the most extraordinary circumstances it just becomes banal. I always found that quite a chilling idea.

Yeah. I mean, you're giving me a ball I cannot possibly do anything with because we're talking about the Holocaust. I can't. Ironic as you are in terms of how you display yourself. No, I'm just saying, I mean, we talked about it before. We talked about Andrew Nikorski's The the nazi hunters it's a great book very very very well um very very well worth reading currently on quest there's a show about uh did hitler escape to south america no

he didn't i'm gonna say no famously didn't famously didn't well famously didn't one of the most infamous dead people yeah you could probably imagine. Did they film it, though? Not like... Do you reckon the Osama Bin Laden kill tape will ever be disseminated? Presumably in like 50 years' time, it will have to be shown somewhere. Answer this honestly. How many times have you Googled that? Kill tape. No.

I know it's not going to be released. If anyone's going to release it, probably... Well, Trump would never do it because Obama did it, didn't he? Where would it pop up? What do you mean? It wouldn't go anywhere. 4chan? Darkweb?

Would the Darkweb or 4chan exist in 50 years' time? We won't exist. You and I won't. We'll probably be doing this fucking show. Yeah. Won't we? Riddled with coronavirus. Riddled.

Yeah. What have you been up to, Peter? I should say this is Monday the 27th of January, a new episode of the Luke and Pete show. And the news is literally just Kobe Bryant and coronavirus, Peter. I should say this is a Monday, the 27th of January, a new episode of the Luke and Pete show. And the news is literally just Kobe Bryant and coronavirus really.

Incredible. Incredible, the Kobe Bryant thing. Very, very sad. Very. And of course, we should say there were other victims involved

in the helicopter as well who deserve our sympathy as much as Kobe does. And Kobe's daughter, of course. Very sad. It's very interesting.

When someone... On the day of like the Grammys, a big Los Angeles kind of party, you know, a lot of doing black culture and stuff like that when it comes to recording artists

and everything happening on one day. It was really interesting. Awful and horrific and interesting. I find the kind of public reaction in 2020 of an astonishingly famous person dying in unexpected circumstances like this, people just go mad.

They all run to Twitter like they're the president. I've said it before. I've got to make a statement. It might have been you who probably put this in my mind, but these days whenever it happens, I kind of think to myself, you do realise it's an option not to say something. You don't have to say something whenever something bad happens. No one's really sitting there waiting for your hot take.

He was good at basketball. Thanks. Cheers, Steve. Yeah, thanks. Sweet as a nut. Steve from Milton Keynes. And I've got nothing against the town of Milton Keynes, the new town of Milton Keynes and their concrete cows. I've got nothing against the town of Milton Keynes the new town of Milton Keynes

and their concrete cows I've got nothing against it yeah a lot of around about that sort of area a lot of weird

roundabouts yeah there's a lot of like in those little kind of like new towns there's a lot of like weird roundabouts

that are sort of necessary Hemel Hempstead can we talk about Hemel Hempstead have you ever been to Hemel Hempstead that goalkeeper

from Hemel Hempstead remember yes we were talking Hemel Hempstead that goalkeeper from Hemel Hempstead yes we were talking about him that's what reminded me they've got bad roundabouts have you and I I would be stunned

if we hadn't mentioned this in the past you and I either on or off air have we mentioned Swindon's magic roundabout yeah that's a similar thing a roundabout

with five roundabouts around it there's one in Hemel Hempstead is there it's mental it's mad just insanity why do they need to compound it's like a fractal around it. There's one in Hemel Hempstead. Is there? It's mental. It's mad. Yeah. Just insanity.

Why do they need to compound? It's like a fractal kind of recursive roundabout. Why are they getting involved? And why do they

just stop at one iteration? Have another roundabout on the other roundabout? I think the whole thing should be roundabout. The whole thing

on a roundabout. And each house is on a roundabout. In the beautiful town of Manchester, Vermont, where I got married, there's a roundabout in the middle of the town centre, I got married there's a roundabout

in the middle of the town centre which is quite rare for a small American town but they call it a rotary oh nice

so just the other side of the rotary rotisserie yeah rotisserie chicken yeah I just bought a meat thermometer

so let me just bring people up to speed because that is a non-signature we've got for Corby Bryant's untimely demise to meat thermometers

via roundabouts via roundabouts but I think get off at the second roundabout my only job on this show is to bring people up to speed

and fill in the gaps that you leave and I'll be honest you're up the other side of the desk to me so I can't see your workstation from where I am but I'll walk

around there to talk to you about something and you're at your desk with a meat thermometer there's no meat in the office that i know of no so what's the situation maybe i'm making my own meat um it was uh i've just bought

some um developing fluid for a string of photographs but it needs to be a very specific temperature otherwise you'll overexpose them to the chemicals what is what is happening here what do you mean i just wanted i've? I've never processed a photo before. Where are you going to process it? In my bedroom. Close the curtains. Whatever the darkest part of my room is. I mean, it's not going to be very good,

but I think that's quite an interesting thing to do. It is interesting. I'm full of interesting things to do. I'm full of interesting ideas, and I always half-ass them. Have you heard that story about Stranger Things Season 3? No. Where Jonathan is the photographer

and he's developing his photos in the darkroom because it's the 80s and someone shared a thread of a load of confused young people saying, what was the significance of him repeatedly emerging

from a red room? It's just a bit of fun. Love it. I enjoy that. It is cool to think of because I've got a nice enough camera I'm terrible at using it but

I quite enjoy you using it and what you can do say you set yourself up for a you set up a composition or a particular thing you want to take a photo of

bosh a photo bosh change the and you shout bosh change the exposure change the aperture change the light all that kind of stuff

over and over again until you find the thing you want can't do that with film mate no you've got to get it right well you can do it which is very wasteful exactly and you won't know until the thing you want. Can't do that with film, mate. No. You've got to get it right. Well, you can do it, which is very wasteful. Exactly.

And you won't know until later. Have you ever caught yourself these days, I was looking at a photo album and I caught myself about to do the double fingers to zoom in. Oh, really?

On an actual photo? Yeah, it happens a lot for me. It happens a lot for me. I found it fascinating that my niece, who's now four, from the age of about two could use a touchscreen phone. She knew the triangle was play. Happens a lot for me. I found it fascinating that my niece, who's now four, from the age of about two, could

use a touchscreen phone. She knew the triangle was play. She knew how to flick across. She knew how to zoom in and zoom out. I didn't have to tell her any of it. Yeah. Incredible. She would watch you do it and instantly get it.

Amazing. Speaking of video and visual entertainment, a lot of heat. The cameras are buggered in the studio. You fix them. You fix them. Fix them. A lot of heat generated on your downing a litre of

water even Nalgene themselves got involved did you see that at Nalgene so basically are you in the pocket of big Nalgene now

I wish I was I tried but they turned me down so when you're down that litre of water obviously use a Nalgene water bottle

I shared the video on our social media at Luke and Pete show and everyone was, people were loving it. Mate,

it got about 65 likes. Good Lord. Yeah. It's gone viral. King's ransom. And someone replied saying, at Nalgene, you've got to be happy with this.

And Nalgene piped right up. Went going, hydration is important. They did. What? Like, when was this? When was this a big thing?

What do you mean? Got to have two liters of water on you at any point in the day. It's ridiculous. You famously think people drink too much water, don't you? I think they do. I think this is, you know, you can't. What are you doing? I'm just watching a man Google Nalgene.

No, I'm finding the... What do you want me to talk about? I'm finding the thing that said that Nalgene got involved and said, oh, yeah, great to see some people staying so hydrated. And I said, we love Nalgene. We only ever use Nalgene branded water bottles in the studio. You do. Please send us Nalgene.

And they replied saying, go to the website. Go to the website. I checked out at that point. Go to the website. But you could, but you. Is that what you actually did? You said, we only use Nalgene products, so give us some more products. Yeah.

Right. What's wrong with that? From your own account? I think probably, yeah. Pathetic. Yeah, what's wrong with that? From your own account? I think probably, yeah. Pathetic. Yeah, what's wrong with that? It's just not very, it's just, it's pack-handed. I would go, oh yeah, I'm enjoying the Nalgene experience, but some of my colleagues are wavering.

I should have come to you first. Yeah, they don't want to put their hands in their own pockets. I want to be in the pocket of big Nalgy. To be fair, a Broad Japan podcast, I get a message about Coolish, the ice cream, for winners every couple of days and I always forward the tweet, the offending tweet, towards the

Coolish company, Lottie, which I think is a Korean company, and they never reply, they never notice. They don't need to, mate. Notice me, senpai. Notice me. What I didn't include to the people at Nalgene is how you complained that the mouths of the bottle were too big and you couldn't drink quick enough. When they released the new model of Nalgene,

flute. Fluted for me. That'd be good. Fluted for your pleasure. Off the back of your 26 or 36 second litre of water, I'm not going to include this in the official email section because it's frippery from Charlie Allen

who got in touch he said the missus and future mother-in-law are currently out at Hobbycraft looking for bits and bobs for our wedding

later this year so I thought I'd catch up on your pod your chat about Peter although he does call you one litre Peter which I quite like

having his own attempt led me into the kitchen he says Charlie Allen claims two pint glasses of water in 17.37 seconds uh now to which i say two pints of water look i could do that if it was just if it was just if it was in a pint it was two pints i could do it but i just need a pint glass you know what i would say maybe i'll bring one in either attach a video or get the fuck out of our inbox. Exactly.

He's the Billy... Anyone could say that. Who's the Billy fella who had the Pac-Man score, was it? Or Donkey Kong? Oh yeah, Billy Eilish. Billy Eilish. Billy Mitchell, wasn't it?

Billy Mitchell, yeah. The guy on King of Kong, A Fistful of Quarters. Yeah. Yeah, dickhead. He's a knob, that guy. I love the other guy, Steve Weeb. Yeah, Steve Weebleman.

What do young people on the internet say now he's my spirit animal oh right okay do people say that still they might have said that 10 years ago

yeah nice what you get with me did you see that a man was wrongfully arrested and had to spend I think he spent three nights in prison

and then one night in a police cell on remand this is up in Scotland in this case of mistaken identity right and he's just been awarded £100,000 in compensation oh hello you know what I'm going to ask you in a police cell on remand. This is up in Scotland. In this case of mistaken identity. Right. And he's just been awarded

£100,000 in compensation. Hello. You know what I'm going to ask you, don't you, Pete? What did he do? What was he accused of? Would you take it? How many days?

Three nights in prison. Yeah. God, yeah. 100 large. God, yeah. That's amazing. What was he accused of? He must have seen something bad.

He had no criminal convictions. Arrested at his home by detectives. He had a warrant for a different person. Right. And it was, it's quite weird, because the officers held a photo of the suspect next to the Mr. Webb's face

and decided that they were the same person. Took him to jail. He ended up doing three days. They haven't mentioned, they haven't mentioned what the, what the actual accusation or the charge was. Owning several Funko Pops. Yeah, probably wasn't that.

But yeah, 100 large for three days. It's not bad. It's not too bad, is it? Yeah. He's claimed he's psychologically really affected him badly and stuff. Well, you talk about a man getting arrested under Fulth the Arizona police have caught the penis man.

Who is he? The penis man is a man who just basically, his graffiti tag is penis, and he just writes penis all over the place in Phoenix, Arizona. While penis man quickly developed into a cult following, the cops weren't laughing. On Saturday, the police revealed they had nabbed Dustin Shomer on 16 counts of aggravated criminal damage, eight counts of criminal damage, and one counts of criminal damage and 1 count of criminal

trespassing in the first degree he's a man who just sprays the word penis all over the walls and he

was raided by a SWAT team also has the hair of James Horncastle does he really I've not seen it

ok let's have a look that's Horncastle-esque if Horncastle got into he really? I've not seen it. Okay, let's have a look. That's Horncastle-esque. If Horncastle got into crack, he'd look like Dustin Shomer. Dustin Shomer. Great name. Not for me, I like it. Have you ever tagged anything, Pete?

Have you featured anything? No, I wrote I wrote old school on a railway overpass in Bicester and that was something that my friend Helen used to do

and she informed me that you should never steal another Graffito artist's tag. But I would argue that old school

is public demand. Fair use. Fair use. So you use a spray can for that? No, just a pen. Just a little pen.

How big is the sharpie? Old school. No, just a biro. a little pen. How big is the biro? Alright, we're talking about the sharpie. Old school. No, just a biro. Old school. How big? Did you write it? About the size

of a hand. That's not tagging, is it? That's pretty... There has to be a size cut off, surely, for tagging. Well, it's got to

be considered tagging. You're looking at it with old eyes. You can't see. You need to go to the optician. I'm going on Wednesday.

Yeah, I'm going on Wednesday. You might join the League of the Spectacles. I'll let you go. I'll go next week. I've already said to Mimi, will you please help me choose glasses?

If you get specs, I might get my eyes lizard. There's too many specs on the Rambo. Can I have yours? You can. Yeah, though my head will be too big. I'm actually quite nervous about an eye test. How many... Do you not have an eye test every year?

No, I've never had one. You've never had an eye test? No. Madness. I've never had an eye test. What if they could... You might have cataracts or glaucoma or some kind of other coral

growing in your eyes. Who said that? Come with me. No, I'm having a night. So you've never, you've never, you've never done any graffiti. You've just used,

in Viro, you wrote old school on a railway overpass in Bicester. Were you trying to impress a lady? Bad boy for life. No, I was just trying to impress some friends with my Viro penmanship.

Old school. With a K. With a K, baby. I think if people want to out themselves, I mean, trying to impress some friends with my biro penmanship. Old school. With a K. With a K, baby. I think if people want to out themselves, I mean, they can remain anonymous, I suppose. They wouldn't be outing themselves. But if you are a graffiti artist, get in touch. Why did you use the word graffito there? Somebody wrote, don't people call it graffito sometimes?

Well, graffito would be the singular of the Italian, right? I think, yeah. Somebody once wrote Pete Donaldson on a wall in spray paint well it wasn't spirit is actually snow spray I found out later so it went so it went quickly but the experiment is quite near my house and I was like hmm it's gone on here hmm and I'm a man who's I've got a bit of a guilty conscience I worry about things and I was like they're gonna think it's me I'm gonna be in so much trouble because I wrote my own name or even worse

full name Peter Donaldson it might be some Albanian gang telling someone else this is where you live like you know when you hear those urban myths

I don't know if they're true or not that people spray paint little red dots on houses so they can steal their dogs might be that with you Pete Donaldson is here go and steal him don't worry about it

he's left his keys in the door do you remember about 10 years I did that over the weekend remember about 10 years ago I did that over the weekend. Yeah. Remember about 10 years ago they used to be outside... There used to be tags that people did on the floor. It was like kind of

internet savvy people. Yeah, like marketing people did it. Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They would just get a spray paint and they would do little marks on the floor and they would say where like a Wi-Fi hotspot was.

Because obviously back in the day, there was, you know, there were nearly any Wi-Fi hotspots. That's interesting. Or free internet. And they were frequently unpassworded. So, you know, internet-minded people in like San Francisco and stuff would go around and they'd paint the flagstones basically saying, here, if you stand here, you get free Wi-Fi.

Which is fascinating. Doesn't happen anymore though. Doesn't happen no more know why WPA what do you mean encryption oh right ok yeah

isn't it cool everyone uses passwords now mate they do use passwords what we should do Pete is we should have a little ad break on the other side of that we should catch up

and mark people's homework because they've sent it in in their droves about free DVDs when they bought a DVD player don't miss it sent it in, in their droves about free DVDs when they bought a DVD player. Don't miss it. But, and, nobody said life was easy,

so if you get knocked down, take the standing eight count, get back up and fight again. Good advice from Macho Man there. Oh, yeah, and the week of Raw Rumble. Who better to hear of? Edge came back, Edge came back, and he retired due to an injury some nine years ago

or something and he came back probably mugging off some insurer somewhere yeah I bet he was like a lot of wrestlers do yeah

very exciting contravening this fucking deductible who better to hear from than the famously dead Randy Savage exactly do you know what his

real name was and do you know how he died his name was was his second name Poffo something something Poffo yeah

Randall Mario Poffo was his name yeah because his brother was the poet who was someone Poffo Angelo Poffo oh no that's his dad

isn't it he trained him I think famously died heart attack at the wheel of his car. Cool. And that was it. What a way to go.

What a way to go. Good night. How would you like to go? That's not a bad one. Straight out. Don't have to worry about it. Don't have to worry about what's happening.

Just sort of go, oh, I've got to get through this. Oh, I'm dead. Shit. Yeah. But there would be a terrifying second or two, wouldn't there? There would be a terrifying...

No, yeah. Yeah, it would be horrific. I think about that quite a lot. Yeah. no yeah it would be horrific. I think about that quite a lot. I think about planes going down. Planes going down would be a long

thing in a couple of seconds. You know there's no chance now. Why don't they put parachutes on the seats? I don't know.

I don't know. Because if you got to. You'd have to get out though wouldn't you? Here's what I'd do. Here's what I'd do.

I'd get the plane so you had the altometer, or the altimeter, whatever it's called, and pilot Neil and pilot Gavin and all the rest of them listen up to this, because you learn a few things here from a man who's been on a few holidays. Altimeter in the cabin, right? Because you have that anyway, because it's on the screens.

I understand the screens might cut out, so put it up on the wall, like a barometer. Yeah. And then when it screens might cut out, so put it up on the wall, like a barometer. Yeah. And then when it got to 1,000 feet, get your parachute on, crucially, go to the back exit. Yeah.

When it gets to about 1,000, actually, just call it 5,000. Yeah. Jump out. Yeah. You're fine. You'll be fine. That's one person.

Yeah. I don't care about anyone else. So we'll just take a parachute with you And if you think you can get out of it Can you take a parachute on As your hand luggage Can you do that I presume so yeah And if you think you can get

A door open On a pressurised plane With your own hands Fucking knock yourself out mate But the cabin would be Depressurised at that point Wouldn't it Well it depends on what's happened

Doesn't it I want to know if it's possible Hello at LukeandPete.com. Well, you'd have to get outside the plane. That's the problem, isn't it? I'm not going to front the jet engines

because that's curtains. Right, that's curtains. So I'm going back exit. Well, yeah. But wouldn't you go over the top of the wings anywhere? But it doesn't matter.

You've got to get out. Depends on the plane. I'll tell you, DB Cooper did it. DB Cooper did it, yeah. Well, apparently he didn't. He died. Splatting. Almost certainly dead. But he never found his body. No.B. Cooper did it. D.B. Cooper did it, yeah. Well, apparently he didn't. He died. Splatting.

Almost certainly dead. But he never found his body. No. And that's better than dying in a plane crash surrounded by all the other schlumps who can't identify your body. At least he'd be able to find your body and go, there he is.

There he is. He had a good go. But there was a golfer, wasn't there? Was it Payne Stewart who sadly passed away in a plane crash? But they lost the pressure in the cabin. And so they all passed out. Hello to everyone listening on a plane. Yeah. lost the pressure in the cabin and so they all passed out hello to everyone listening on a plane

yeah they all passed out and they just flew empty that was fuel that was was that Greek

it was big in the US where the jet fighters scrambled and looked up and someone was trying to get an attendant who had a bit of pilot training and they're all passed out

well had a bit of pilot training and they're watching this plane and everyone's passed out and then somebody appears in the cockpit and they try, I mean that is chilling just a man trying to land a plane he has got no training on this particular airplane and obviously the fuel runs out and everyone dies

so yeah, it's all a lot of fun. My friend Lee who's a pilot said that if you in like a jumbo jet or whatever, if you're in comms with someone on the ground and you've never flown a plane before, chances of you being able to land it are just fucking no chance. I've watched a few YouTube videos, so I would be fine.

You get my vote. All right, homework. We asked people to please tell us the DVDs they got free with a DVD player. Do you want to give people a bit of context, Pete? Because I didn't even know this was a thing. And it's really tapped into the zeitgeist of the Luke and Pete show listenership. So every time you went and bought a DVD from like a Curry's,

it would come with a DVD, would it? Yeah. Invariably, you'd buy a DVD. Same with VHSs, but mainly DVD because they were easily kind of like disseminated in little kind of pocket packets. Little pouches, very easy to copy. And yeah, it'd be buy-ins with like the big

manufacturers like Sony and stuff like that so yeah, it's all good. Would that count towards sales for the particular movie in question? I guess it probably would do, yeah. It's like getting a free newspaper, you'd still get that kind of, you'd still get those figures I suppose. So yeah, loads of people got in touch. Have you got an email

there? I'm trying to find it. Yeah I'm trying to find yeah I've got one here I've got one here from Aaron who says hi guys figured I'd toss my hat into the ring for this week's

homework assignment the free DVD that came with my family's first DVD player was Twister the classic disaster movie schoolboy

none other than Van Halen I didn't know Van Halen scored that oh right okay jump and then twist. I think they did maybe a song or two on the soundtrack, but I don't think they scored it. Right. I think that's probably a bit of a bit of a conflation of other things.

Because imagine that. I mean, Jesus, it'd be crazy. It'd be a bit too intense, wouldn't it? It was a slow song, will you? Yeah. Someone's died. You can't do a big solo. Our first viewing experience did not go exactly to plan, though,

says Aaron. My family was so concerned with the strange black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen They thought it was faulty. that we took back both the player and the DVD to the store. Much to our dismay and embarrassment,

the sales associate explained that the DVD was a widescreen edition and that these mysterious black bars were DVD to the store. Much to our dismay and embarrassment, the sales associate explained that the DVD was a wide screen edition and that these mysterious black bars were supposed to be there. Ah, the joys of new technology and sheer ignorance. They would have been squished as well. That's what I like about that. It's a good movie. Like the whole thing would have been squished.

Well, that Twister doesn't look very bothersome. I was quite shocked, unexpectedly shocked when Bill Paxton died. Yeah. He's only 61. You kind of forget. He's a great movie.

He's an alien. He's a great alien. It's the sort of, that Bill Paxton dying is one of those things where you go, oh shit, did he? Did he?

I missed that. I missed that. It was one of those ones that's easy to miss, right? But when he was in Aliens as Hudson, he was brilliant in that. And then he went through a phase of about so he did like predator 2 but then in the mid 90s he became massive he got excuse me he got the gig in apollo 13

great movie obviously tom hanks vehicle um then he did um twister which was absolutely massive uh i loved um i love tw. And then he was in Titanic. You forget he's in Titanic. I don't know if I've seen Titanic. Good on it. What? Whoa, steady. I've seen it because my best friend's twin sister

used to watch it every day. It's the sea. Good shout for Twister. Yeah, good shout. Dan Wilkins, long time listener, first time. Email us, see? They're getting involved in the topics. Yeah.

We got our first DVD player in the year 2000. Great year. Great year for film, which was a Sony. It came with a big mix bag here. Analyze this. Was that? De Niro, I think. De Niro and Williams?

in your further purchasing of Consumer Electronica. Andrew's been in touch and says what have we got here? For the Homework

Assignment this week I can only remember one DVD Godzilla 98. 1998 Godzilla and a great soundtrack but it was a poor film.

Yeah. And you also said a bit of homework Pete which was tell us something weird you found in your garden. And Andrew contributes to that thread as well.

It says, as for something found in the garden, there are two things that spring to mind. A sad one first, we used to have a coat box at the back of our garden, and one day after the winter, we went to go and open it to chuck some twigs in, only to be greeted by a dead fox, which must have crawled in there to keep warm. My mate Rob's listening to this. He'll bury it for you.

It's his birthday today, by the way. Happy birthday, Rob. I wonder what macabre presents he's getting. He said it was just a skeleton by the time Andrew found it. The second one was rather strange, as we dug up the ground to make a pond, and we ended up digging up a pair of pants. Oh, wow. Not sure how long they'd been there but the color scheme of beige orange and black makes me think 70s early 80s imagine imagine

that's a true crime podcast uh waiting for you as a just a man who tries to trace back a pair of pants he found in his garden as ub40 famously saying there's some pants in my garden what am i gonna do fiona on a similar attack a long time listener thanks to my husband dan playing it found in his garden. As UB40 famously sang, there's some pants in my garden, what am I going to do? Fiona, on a similar tack, long time listener, thanks to my husband Dan playing it constantly for years in the background

and now I'm fully on board. First time emailer, thank you Fiona and also Dan. So when I was at Leicester Uni back in the early 90s a group of us girls lived in a big shed house

in the first year. An old Victorian house with a big garden but we never really used it. I know the kind of house well going to Leicester Uni or rather to Moffat Uni. You did go to Leicester, let's be fair. Alright. I know the kind of house well going to Leicester Uni, or rather to Moffat Uni. You did go to Leicester, let's be fair.

All right. We heard rumours of, well, maybe I was the person in question. We heard rumours of someone living in our garden. So one night after several drinks at one of those kind of rampage type pub crawls, we decided to investigate right down the bottom of the garden,

but not hidden in the bushes, we found a deck chair facing the house surrounded by empty food and drink containers. Lovely night out. Suitably. Suitably freaked out. To be fair, Pete, you and I have both had worse night outs than that. Oddly, though, we never did find out what it was all about.

Looking back now, it seems a little bit ludicrous. We never ventured down there again and ignore the fact that there was clearly a weirdo sitting in our garden watching a house full of 18-year-old girls. It was before social media though now, so I imagine now it would have been all over our Facebook instantly. More innocent times! So that's the weirdest thing I've found in a garden.

A pervert, or rather, the treasures of a pervert. Fee from Lincoln. Can I just say, Fee, not that innocent. What do you mean? She says more innocent times. Not really that innocent, is it? Yeah. It just isn't on the internet. You were more innocent. There was a guy who lived below us at internet. You were more innocent. Yeah. You were more innocent. There was a guy who lived below us at university.

He was a real weirdo. Right. He used to, I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, because if he was mentally ill, then fair enough. But he was just a really bad neighbor. He's a horrible, cantankerous old man. And he used to complain about everything. And we probably were shits because we were university students. But at the same time, he was ridiculous.

And no word of a lie, but five or six years after I graduated and moved out of the town, I was watching some terrible, you know, I love watching terrible TV. I was watching something about a Flandre War documentary series about a local council. Right. And he popped up on it. Oh, he was in the shit. Turned up complaining about the bins and stuff. Yes.

So he obviously had form i would not i like you lou but i don't think i'd ever want to live next to you as a 18 year old student well if you were an 18 year old student or i was if you were oh it's horrible you know i'm so loud you know how obnoxious i am now so imagine what i was like then nice yeah dial it up to 11 mate uh I used to drink more then as well. Let's get out of here, Pete. We'll be back on Thursday, won't we? We'll be back, so don't fear the Reaper.
