It's the Lugabee Show, it's a Thursday, it's near the weekend, let's get funky, let's put on a track for all you ravers out there.
I'm missing radio, Luke.
Oh, with the rinsing sound!
Yes, you entertained
some millennials
in the office
a little earlier
on the people
who work for
Kostokhanov
with a blast
on the shared
bluetooth speaker
of zombie nation
it was not
greeted
oh that's
quite good
quite a good
impression
it's quite good
it's not
greeted
oh that's
quite good
quite a good impression it's quite good. It's not great. It's quite good.
Quite a good impression.
It's quite good.
Well done.
One for all you ravers out there.
Awful song.
Awful song, awful times.
I really wanted them to call for a rewind, but they didn't.
They did not.
Call for the P4 guys.
I mean, you've made me out there to be an annoying, uncool, cringey kind of guy.
Mm-hmm.
Fair?
Is that for you standing by that? Have you got anything to disavow as of that notion?
No.
No.
I've got nothing.
You've got nothing.
I've got nothing to defend myself with.
How are you?
How's your week been?
I'm good.
I'm on the verge of travelling to see my family in Japan.
Oh, yes, your secret family.
Secret.
Well, not so secret.
Sorry about that a lot.
How many children you got now?
Little Jimmy.
Selfie.
Why would you call
him Jimmy
where's that come from
well you know
they look very much
like me
so it'd be weird
to give them
Japanese names
wouldn't it
poor little lambs
poor little lambs
so you'll be
you're on your way
to Japan later today
ooh la la
the reason I know that
is because you filled
in the group diary wrong
which made me make plans
for us to do something
and then you said
you couldn't then you got very obstinate about it and then i corrected you saying you didn't fill the
diary in properly and you backed down well i set the um i clearly set up that particular um appointment
quite late in the day and the thing about the iphone is it defaults to whatever time you set
up the meeting it just says right So, have a bit of that.
Have you ever shat out five pounds of thick gelatinous gummy bears out of your arse?
I wasn't expecting you to go that way with this, but carry on.
Have you ever pooped five pounds of gummy bears out of your bum?
Five pounds in weight?
Yes.
Why are you thinking about it?
I famously don't really like chewy sweets.
Oh, do you not?
We talk about this every time you bring Haribo in, I'll tell like chewy sweets oh do you not we talk about this
every time you bring Haribo in
I'll tell you that
when do I bring Haribo in
I'm not a Haribo man
some guys do don't they
some guys do
some of the guys bring it in
some of the guys bring it in
everyone goes oh I love Haribo
and I'm like I don't like it
hurts my teeth
hurts your teeth
how soft are your teeth
why is someone
shitting out gummy bears
basically
there is
a
amazing
market leading toilet a steel toilet Basically, there is an amazing market-leading toilet,
a steel toilet that can never be defeated,
a high-abuse steel toilet, and I am obsessed with it.
Right.
It can flush five pounds of gummy bears.
It can flush 40 golf balls.
It can flush anything you throw at it.
It will flush. Who made it? I don't know. And how did you throw at it it will flush
who made it
I don't know
and when did you
how did you come across it
so to speak
I can't remember
but I wrote
I put a link to it
into my email
and I wrote the word
laps
the Metcraft
HET toilet
yeah
you can
you can basically
flush whatever you want
is it available
for general purchase
can you get it
in your house
I don't want no one wants a steel metal toilet in their house do they they've filled it with 600 air cons you can basically flush whatever you want. Is it available for general purchase? I believe it is, yeah.
No one wants a steel metal toilet in their house, do they?
They've filled it with 600 air cons.
600?
Yeah.
Oh, I like this toilet because it reminds me of when I was in prison.
No one wants that in their toilet.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Look at the state of it.
And it's flushing.
All the air cons have gone.
That's brilliant.
Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than that?
It's like when Alan Partridge goes on that barge.
Pound of mashed up Dundee cake.
One flash, all gone.
Perhaps you've got elderly relatives. Peace of mind, I'm sure.
Particularly if you're travelling with elderly relatives on board.
What about this for a story?
This caught my eye.
I want that toilet.
Yeah.
I mean, how much is it?
You found out how much it is?
It looks like I'd need infrastructure to support it.
Surely it's the plumbing, not just the toilet.
Well, no, because I think presumably the pressure would come from,
now I'm not a plumber, it will not surprise you to learn,
surely it's the pressure of the water rushing past the U-bend
rather than the pressure above,
because gravity just takes that down, doesn't it?
the U-bend rather than the pressure above because gravity just takes that down, doesn't it?
No, I think it's to do with the strength
of the ball cock in the cistern, no?
No, all the ball cock in the cistern does
is tell the valve whether to open or close
because the ball cock just says,
is this pool of water,
is there enough water to administer a flush?
Oh, so that's what it is then.
So it's the weight of the water above flushing it down.
Yeah.
So that's what you want.
You want a massive tank above it.
You want a lot of...
No, well, yeah, you want that
or you want also the pressure of it going under.
So, yeah, I don't know.
How would I make...
How would I flush 500 air cons down a toilet, guys?
Plumbers?
I think...
How can I modify my toilet to do that?
I've built the houses of friends and family members and I'm not going to do that I've been to houses
of friends and family members
and I'm not going to name them
a shame because it's not their fault
weak ass toilets
yeah
you've got to think twice
about what you're going to do
how you're going to play it
bring a butter knife
nah that's grim
it's just the fact
that you've used the term
butter knife
that I don't like it
but you can't
you have to
cheese knife
with a little
porky going in
you have to
a whisk oh no that's worse but if I said if I said to you You have to... She's now got a little porky going in. You have to... Toot! A whisk.
Oh, no, that's worse.
But if I said to you,
you're going to go visit
a family member
and...
Actually, no,
make it more awkward.
It's going to be your
significant other's family
for a weekend or whatever.
And the toilet is...
It's like a 50-50
whether you're going to
be able to flush a shit or not.
Yeah.
How are you approaching
that situation?
Battery powered
Nutribullet.
Pre.
Now seriously
what would you do?
Do a little poop poop
in one of them
pour it in.
Would you plan your
your shit so that
if you go to
out for dinner
or for a cafe
you'd go then?
Um.
Because you are someone
who gets crippled
by embarrassment.
I'm bad but you're worse than me i
can't yeah but i i don't poo that often so it's not it's never been that much of a problem though
as i get older um when it comes it needs to come it does it does it's non-negotiable it's
non-negotiable my body goes peter i know we've not had this conversation in a couple of days
but now it's time my friend and so how would you approach it
what do you mean
you're just going to
risk it
you're going to risk it
for a biscuit
risk it for a biscuit
just get it out
and what happened
if you did block the toilet
would you go and speak
to the owner of the house
and say I'm sorry about this
I've never blocked a toilet
it was not
you just get your hand out
get your hand
pull out the
people are listening to this
what do you mean
you don't put your hand
down the toilet
well how do you clear
a blockage of a toilet
plunger
well if there isn't a plunger.
They should be
providing the plunger
if they know their
toilet's bad.
Exactly.
So, if they haven't
got a plunger, they've
only got themselves to
blame.
Attack it with a
plunger.
If you haven't got a
plunger, you've only
got yourself to blame
when there's a man
who belongs on the
fringes of our society
walking around your
house with a shitty
hand.
Well, I'll wash it
after.
Your fault?
Are you going to
wash it?
No, I'm not going to
wash it, actually,
because it's your
fault.
Get your plunger.
Yeah.
Buy a plunger before you need it, when you need it get in touch best advice hello
get in touch let us know how you approach that tricky thorny social issue but i was going to
say before we got sidetracked by that that i read on the bbc website in wales a public footpath
that cuts through the middle of a naturist campsite is finally to be rerouted.
It runs alongside 15 caravan pitches in Carmarthenshire.
And after a process that lasted the best part of two years,
the existing public footpath will be blocked
and a new route will be introduced.
And the woman who runs the campsite with her husband, Mike,
Joe and Mike, the naturist campsite runners, we're relieved it's over and done with and the path's going the campsite with her husband, Mike, Joe and Mike, the nature of campsite runners.
Joe and Mike, the nudies.
We're relieved it's over and done
and the paths are going to be diverted.
What do you think about that, Pete?
What do you mean?
Well, public footpaths are a very old
and ancient part of British life, aren't they?
Yeah.
I think they date back hundreds of years.
You can't...
There was famously one
that went through Sting's house.
Oh, really?
Through his garden.
Yeah.
And people were just...
Obviously, because they want to piss off Sting
who wouldn't
people just kept
walking through it
and he got pissed off
but there's nothing
you can do about it
because the law
I think supersedes
the kind of housing thing
I like that
yeah I do as well
I quite like it
but what would you do
if you were a naturist
and people kept
walking through
do you want to be seen
or do you not want to be seen
I'd just take my clothes off
walk through it
they wouldn't know
where you were, would they?
Yeah,
but I mean,
surely the naturist,
surely that footpath
has been there longer
than the naturist
have decided to
get their bollocks out.
Yeah,
so why should they change it?
Yeah.
But I mean,
presumably a naturist,
you're not embarrassed
by the things that you're doing.
Yeah,
I don't really understand why...
Unless you're a naturist
who's wearing clothes
and then you're just embarrassed
by the idea of not
keeping up your end of the bargain.
In great... In bargain. In great...
What I would do is I'd probably just unzip my flies
as I'm walking through,
flip the old cock and balls out,
say, look, I'm one of you guys.
I'm one of you guys,
but I've got business to attend to.
I'm off to a wake.
Do naturists not want people who aren't naturists
to see them because they're not part of the swindle?
Is that what it is?
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know naturists, see them because they're not part of the swindle is that what it is I don't know
I don't know
naturists
you know
deal with life
it seems
slightly childish
to me
the whole kind of thing
is it a bit like
drug takers
like so basically
if you're in a room
with a lot of drug takers
yeah
they want to be around
presumably they want to be
around other drug takers
yeah
they want to be around
other nudists
so do they think
that clothed people
spoil their vibe?
Yeah, I would say so.
But don't build
your little caravan park
next to a footpath.
And what happens
if you found yourself
into a situation
where it was all nature?
Would you just get involved?
Yeah, I'd get involved.
Yeah, I would.
Bit of a giggle.
Chat about your tattoos?
Chat about my tattoos.
You famously have trouble
getting your trousers off,
don't you?
The lizard.
I've got rather large calves and
rather tight trousers.
Trousers, exactly,
yeah.
Apparently in the
great bit of local
journalism, BBC
reporter interviewed
several people that
live next door to the
campsite who said
they had no problem
at all with the
naturists.
No.
I bet they didn't.
Perverts.
Yeah, naturists
are never a fine
figure of humanity
are they?
One of the people
in the interview
was the same bloke
who Fiona emailed
about on Monday
yes
you guys sat
eating snacks
to be honest
it saves me a job
I just look at my window
it's the snacks
I don't get
yeah what snacks
what snacks
are appropriate
for that situation
do you eat when you
refrigerators
get down to
what can you I'm never doing the same if I'm jerking to I'm never doing
the same
if I'm jerking it
I'm not eating
it's not happening
it's a completely
different headspace
there's nothing to
suggest he was jerking it
why is he sat in a
chair looking at a
load of 18 year old
girls in a house
it's a question
you often
come on now
it's a question that
often gets asked
come on now
who's eating lasagna
then
yeah
ready meal don't get plastic with you who Who's eating lasagna then? Yeah.
Ready meal.
Don't get plastic with you.
Who's eating a full tray of lasagna then?
Disgraceful. There is no appropriate meal for that situation.
No.
Disgraceful.
Do you reckon he's trying to throw people off the scent?
This is where I like to eat my volavons.
Banana.
Banana.
Volavons.
One other story that caught my eye just before we get on with this whole nonsense is in Spain
as well.
This is a story that
came out a week or two
ago in Spain.
Someone flushed a lot
of air cons down a
toilet.
Yeah.
Blocked.
A naturist toilet.
When I was in Seville
a lot of places still
have that old hustle
where they you can't
put the toilet roll
down the toilet.
Oh lots of places
in Greece you can't
either.
Tedious.
Sort your pipes out
guys. In Greece you can't either Tedious Sort your pipes out guys
In Greece you can't do it
Can you drink the water
In Spain though?
Yeah
Nowadays you can
They don't advise that
In Greece either
Oh, okay
I thought it was an EU thing
Like the EU brought it up
To standard
But not everywhere apparently
Yeah
Anyway, in Spain
Do you know where
The most delicious water is?
Iceland
Plain toilet
No, train toilet
Oh, God.
There was an interesting story about that.
So brackish.
A farmer in Nebraska recently,
I think he either gate crashed the meeting
or he was invited to the meeting or something
and he found a committee
or the council
who had signed off on fracking
in the area
and he was against it
for lots of different reasons
and he said to them
would you
drink
water
that's been
contaminated
with the runoff
of fracking
and they obviously were like
yeah no worries
of course I will
it's been found
to be fine
and he was like
oh good news
because I fucking brought some with me
and he poured it out and gave it to them cool and it was all it's like fl to be fine. He was like, oh, good news, because I fucking brought some with me. And he poured it out
and gave it to them.
Cool.
And it was all...
It's like flammable,
isn't it?
It's horrendous.
There's pictures of people
being able to light their taps on fire and stuff.
So,
good on him.
That'll be coming.
Don't you worry about it, guys.
That'll be coming.
We're on the fast track for that, baby.
Anyway,
I was going to say,
in Spain,
in the Balearic Islands,
they've just passed a law banning pub crawls and happy hours in the Balearics.
Yeah, they've made their money, haven't they?
It's an attack on the nighttime economy.
But isn't that a weird thing?
Because I know people from lots of nations, Britain firmly included in that,
go over there and behave appallingly. But I would
imagine that a large proportion of people there
don't behave that badly. I mean,
I've been there a few times and I don't
commit any crimes or anything.
I've never been on a booze cruise.
I've never been on a pub crawl, rather.
I don't think I've ever been on a pub crawl.
Which is weird for you, because you love moving quickly.
Yeah, I know. It's ideal for me, but I've never
been on a pub crawl that would...
I can drink my own beer.
I can create my own problems.
Yeah, true.
You're a one-man pub crawl.
I'm a one-man pub crawl.
But do you know what I think is interesting?
They've banned it because presumably they make quite a lot of money.
So it's a bit of a deal with the devil, isn't it?
Well, it's like 20 years...
It's like when the people of Holloway Road
started buying up property and moving into property,
and they made all the
nightclubs close down
that used to open
until three or four
in the morning.
You talk about Big Red?
That was,
no, no, no,
it was like kind of
dance hall,
kind of like reggae nights
and stuff on the
Holloway Road
and they closed them down
and it's just really annoying
because it's like,
well, you knew that.
That has existed
for a lot longer
than you've owned that house.
A lot longer than you've rented that house. A lot longer than you've rented that house.
Annoying.
Yeah.
Annoying.
Is it like that, though?
What?
Is it similar?
What do you mean?
It's not similar, is it?
Well, presumably, they've been doing this for the last 25 years.
But I think what's happened is local people have just started to fed up of it.
Right.
So, free bars, adverts for alcoholic drinks are also forbidden, along with alcoholic vending machines.
Are they not?
Yeah.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Are they not part of it, though?
Presumably a lot of them will be employed by the same bars.
Yeah, it's weird.
And also shops apparently selling alcohol in Ibiza's West End
and Playa de Palma in Magaluf must close between 8.30 at night
and 7 in the morning.
Yeah, they don't do any business.
I mean, yeah, but that should be...
Who buys beer from a thing from a from a um a shop like that we're not all independently wealthy like
you no before they go out like you buy that before you go that's like that's walkie beers
so you buy them before you walk out you walk out and then you hit the bars that's the famous
the old glenroda they all walk it what glenroda one for the road isn't it walkie beers walkie
beer shower beer where do you rank them
in the thing
where's walkie beer
compared to a shower beer
shower beer is the
lowest of the low
no I love a shower beer
behind only
you can't have a shower
you can't have a beer
in the shower with you
it's not
you're going to
stag do later on
are you going to be
drinking in the shower
no because
this is only a one
this is the perfect
stag do for me
it's a one dayer
all dayer
it's a Mikey Rayer a Leo Sayer. It's a Mikey Rayer.
Grow up.
A Leo Sayer.
You'll be asleep by nine.
Only in the
Walthamstow district
of London
where there's some
lovely pubs.
And I cannot
stress this enough.
I will be home
and in bed
by 8pm.
Pathetic.
Yeah.
I won't turn up
till 4pm.
That's a perfect
stag do for me.
But I'd love people
to email in
and we'll have a little
break in a minute we'll
come back and do some
emails and we'll set some
more homework but i would
love people to uh email
in ranking the types of
beers now i don't mean
the brands of beers i
don't mean like a pete
danson i'm a hiney man
i don't mean that i mean
the type of the ways you
drink them so your shower
beers yeah your walkie
beers can i interest you in in an empty four pint of milk
washed out, filled with orange juice
and some Glenn's vodka?
That's down there for me.
You just described Friday night
in the Donny house.
For a long time, that was my Friday night.
With friends.
Other types of beer.
A football beer.
Having a beer at the football.
Having a beer at the football, Having a beer at the football,
yeah, yeah.
A Christmas Day beer.
Not a pleasurable beer, though.
You're having to drink it
in like 10 minutes, maximum.
You're having to
absolutely wolf it down.
Unless you're in non-league, mate.
Unless you're in non-league.
You can drink it in front of...
I heard that.
You can take a dog in.
Yeah, you can.
There was a lot of
consternation around,
I want to say Bromley,
the last time I was there.
I overheard a few old boys complaining
that if the team got promoted, they would no longer be able to drink beer in the little
barber in view of the pitch.
What's the point?
They didn't want it to happen.
What's the point?
That is a shame.
Why are you stopping an old man having a nice beer watching the football?
What, do you think the only people who should drink it, they have to be over 45?
Beer on a plane?
Another one?
No, too fizzy.
Too fizzy.
You love a fizzy lager. Yeah, we don't. Beer on a plane? Another one? No, too fizzy. You love a fizzy lager.
Yeah, we don't like it on a plane.
I'm a bloody Mary or a Sake.
Airport beer.
No, never.
Some people love an airport beer.
Waste of time.
They start so early, Luke.
I don't like it.
Get in touch with us.
Hello at LukeandPetecher.com
and we can build a definitive list.
Shower beer, airport beer, walkie beer,
hospital beer.
Hospital beer.
Let's have a break
and afterwards we'll do some emails.
Alright then.
On each step with
Peloton, from their pop runs
to walk and talks, you define
what it means to be a runner.
Whatever your level, embrace it.
Journey starts when you say so.
If you've got five minutes or fifty,
Peloton Tread has workouts you
can work in. Or bring your classes with you for outdoor runs, walks and hikes,
led by expert instructors on the Peloton app.
Call yourself a runner.
Peloton All Access Membership separate.
Learn more at onepeloton.ca slash running.
With the right equipment, you can make your own sausage at home.
Make your own sausage at home. Make your own sausage at home.
Why not?
If I was forced, if someone broke into my house with a machete and said,
look, I'm going to slice you a new one, Pete, if you don't make me a sausage.
Yeah.
The only thing I could possibly make is make some super noodles,
jam it in a condom that's all I can do
yeah
my house is so bereft
of meat products
or any products
it would have to be
super noodles in a condom
so that
that is
again
quite depressing
I don't
subscribe to the thing
that we used to do
when I was a kid
where you do your shopping
on like a day
and it lasts you for the week
because I don't really know
what I'm going to be doing
day to day I normally buy the food on that day't really know what I'm going to be doing day to day.
No.
I normally buy the
food on that day
then cook it.
So I wouldn't have
any meat left.
If a sausage terrorist
took me around to my
own house now and
said I'm holding you
hostage so you make a
sausage.
No corned beef,
no spam,
no kind of tinned
goods.
Probably going to
have to do some
kind of porridge
oats type thing.
In a condom.
With yoghurt.
Oh, no.
That's the worst.
If you went... There's a bit of homework.
If you went to your cupboard right now,
what would be in your sausage and how would you make it?
Yes!
Come on.
Love that.
I'm typing that up.
I'm typing that up.
An old pipe.
Let's do the homework now.
An old bit of pipe filled with just smashed up prawns.
How would you make a sausage using only the items you currently have in your house?
Nice.
It's got to be edible.
Got to be edible.
It has to be edible.
And I also want to set you to homework, you guys, before we get into emails,
of what is your going to bed slash bathroom routine?
And is it out of the ordinary tell us about it i don't want you emailing in hello at luke and peach.com just going oh wash
my face or brush my teeth when i get into bed what are the things you have to do what you do every
night or you lie in bed thinking oh damn i didn't do it and you have to go back and do it that kind
of stuff yeah mine's mainly asthma related oh yeah? I'll usually go to the washing machine and realise I've
left a little washing
in there.
I think I'll do that
tomorrow morning.
I hate that.
I hate that.
It's the worst feeling.
You can't,
and the only options
you've got,
get it out
or have to wash it again.
It's going to stink
the next morning.
No, no, no.
Just don't open it.
Do not open the thing
and it's hermetically sealed.
So you've got
about a day's grace
before it starts
to absolutely
cinemapongol.
Like some kind
of laundry sarcophagus.
Yeah, just don't
open it and it
doesn't hit the air
and the microbes
don't start going wild.
Do it for long enough
when you open it up
get diseases.
Get diseases.
That's why they
found King Tut.
Did somebody get
diseases when that
happened?
Yeah, I believe so.
So when King Tutankhamun's
tomb was found...
Do you reckon they were
just fucking about there?
Do you reckon they were
just fucking about there?
Well, what happened was...
Honestly, dear.
Yeah.
Tutankhamun gave me
HPV.
You're getting a bit
of necrophilia action.
I'm not saying
they had sex with a corpse.
I'm just saying
he may have philandered.
Oh, okay, right.
Well, the story
is I understand it.
They found it,
Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the
Kings.
Tuti's tomb.
They opened it up.
I think this is in about
the 1930s.
They'd been there for a
long time.
Yeah.
And they said, oh, look
at it.
It's mad.
It's the most amazing
tomb we've ever found,
et cetera, et cetera.
And then people started
dying.
And so they instantly
thought, it's a curse.
Right.
But I think it was like a
load of diseases.
Yeah.
Coughs and sneezes
spread diseases.
Plus, Tutankhamun. Loose lips sink ships. I'm actually going to see King Tut in a load of diseases. Coughs and sneezes spread diseases. Plus, toot and carmen.
Loose lips sink ships.
I'm actually going to see King Tut in a couple of weeks.
Oh yeah?
What's he up to?
He's in town.
He's on tour again.
What, his death hat mask?
Yeah, I want to say British Museum, but I'm not sure.
Are you sure you're not going to be visiting Deluxe Paint 3?
I can check my calendar.
Cool.
Hang on.
Let's do that.
Yeah.
When is Luke going to be looking at the death mask of Kindle
definitely not next weekend
because I'm going to
for lunch with some friends
when is it
it's not the 18th
15th
that's a spa day
you criticised me for not
putting anything into this show
and you're just reading up your calendar
yeah
I can't remember
anyway
we didn't even get it
we didn't even get the calendar
you do an email and I'll find it.
Fuck me.
Fuck a duck.
Do an email, for God's sake.
I was concentrating on the excitement of your bloody calendar.
I can't get it.
The toilet's up now.
Here we go.
Right then.
We've got an email from Mark Ogden.
Harking back to a previous subject.
A long time listener to the show and the Ramble.
I went to the Ramble live show in Manchester last
year. That was a good date. Just checking in with
a Gladiator update. This email is
about ace, real name Warren Furman.
He made a guest appearance
in a morning assembly at a
primary school my mum works at. This is late
January 2020. A recent
Gladiator sighting. I can't believe we're still doing Gladiator.
We saw Ace the Gladiator in 2020.
How would you even recognise him? I don't know, but a short clip ofator. We saw Ace the Gladiator in 2020. How would you even recognise him?
I don't know,
but a short clip of him
in action was on the hit show
was played moments
before he walked out.
Turns out he's now
a devout Christian,
good friends with a priest
in the local area.
Warren then proceeded
to put on a suit of armour
and after giving some kids
plastic swords,
he then instructed them
to softly strike him
across the armour.
The lesson was
the power of God
can deflect the pain
inflicted by others,
apparently.
Tedious.
For some kids, it was all too much,
and they started crying,
and they were taken out one by one.
It seems the Lord can work in mysterious ways.
I don't mind if people like God,
but I don't want to be hearing it.
He dated Katie Price
and worked as a construction manager.
I want to hear more about that.
Exactly.
I don't want to hear your painful metaphors about...
I want to hear about some sharp sand.
There was an amazing, and I do mean amazing,
long read in The Guardian.
I read it yesterday, so it might have been a week or so ago.
Did you put it in your calendar?
I put it in my calendar, yeah.
About the massive, massive scandal
rocking some of the earliest papyrus scrolls.
More Egypt!
Of the Gospels.
Right.
Allegedly by a scholar at Oxford University.
Right.
They found,
I'll link it up on the Twitter,
but some archaeologists dug up a load of,
like an old town.
Right.
Dated from like the first century or something,
AD,
and found an absolute treasure trove of all these old manuscripts and it had Gospels old poems
of hitherto undiscovered sort of first print kind of things and on papyrus of
like these famous Greek poets and all that anyway so many of them that to be
categorized and studied and it's a really difficult thing to do apparently because sometimes you only have a little bit of papyrus about the
size of a postage stamp with a little bit of our ancient writing on it yeah and you've got to try
and decipher it and then what's happening is there's a company in the u.s called hobby lobby
who do a load of um uh as you can imagine like craft type stuff on the high street but they're
owned by a very religious family who are collecting as many um artifacts of religious significance as possible
to to put in their museum and they're trying to buy these things up but then these the original
society found them saying no no they need to be looked after and kept and all the rest of it and
studied and there's talk that a certain number of scholars are selling them
because there's so many
of them
they're just selling them
and saying
I couldn't find that one
kind of thing
and it's an amazing scandal
it's rocky
and the reason it's so interesting
rocking archaeology
because you don't feel like
they're the type of people
who would be doing
that kind of thing
because they're like
academics
and you think of them
as having a scarf
around their neck
and having a beard
and being very nice
maybe a bit pervy
but that's it
so anyway
it's worth looking at
I'll share that
on the Twitter
and if anyone would like
to buy some papyrus
yeah
hello at
residentbeachshow.com
you can make some
this is an interesting
email from Max
tea bag on a bit of A4
put it in your sausage
put it in your sausage
Max
has emailed saying
emailing
last Monday's
show
and the mysterious note found after attending the Boomtown Festival.
Oh, yes.
It reminds me of a note my dad received over Christmas.
The attached message was posted through the door
a couple of days before Christmas,
and neither my dad or stepmom have any idea who sent it
or even who the accused person is.
Right.
For added context, they live in a tiny, tiny village
in literally the arsehole of nowhere
and have lived there for 15 years.
So how someone got their address is very odd.
And the attached letter,
I'm going to try and find it,
is, bear me a second.
I did have it up here.
Now I've lost it again.
Here we go.
Yes, it's,
the attached message is this.
Right.
I'll just read it as it's written.
It's typed.
Yep.
So there's no handwriting to analyse.
It says Rob
I don't think
Mac's dad's called Rob.
Rob not sure
if you see my other notes
so I've written again
to tell you that
your Mrs. Mel
has been shagging
Mark Walton.
It's been going on
for ages.
Me and my Mrs.
are fed up of her
taking the piss out of you.
They've been seen
together loads of times
and they don't care.
Mac's in Bristol.. Max is in Bristol.
So it's in Bristol.
So they've got the wrong house.
Yeah, and the wrong name.
I would at least do
a little Facebook search
about that.
So Max lives in a little village
or he lives in Bristol.
His mum and dad live
in a little tiny village
in the middle of nowhere.
Type it up.
Stick it in the newspaper.
Stick it in the local paper.
If you can solve it,
then...
Solve the question.
And before you do one, Pete, I just want to do this email as well, Stick it in the local paper. If you can solve it, then... Solve the question. Hello, Luke and Peter at the club.
And before you do one, Peter,
I just want to do this email as well,
which is from Andy,
who says,
very much enjoyed the Bob Hawke chat.
Remember Bob Hawke?
The blue plaque,
sculling of the Isle of Wales?
Yes, okay.
And he went on to become the Prime Minister of Australia.
Yes.
Well, I've got an email here from Andy
who says,
sadly, Bob Hawke passed away last year.
However, you will no doubt be pleased to know
that his appetite for sculling beers
remained undiminished into his later years.
I'm sure others would have sent this in,
but here is a 70-plus-year-old Bob Hawke
necking a pint on YouTube.
Now, I'm going to play it to you.
I'm going to put it in perspective.
Bob Hawke, ex-Prime Minister.
He looks very old in this.
He's over 70.
He's at a cricket match between Australia and India.
And a random person grabs him when he's walking up the steps
and asks him to down a pint of beer.
One for the country, Robert.
Hands him a pint in a plastic glass.
Gets it down himself.
And, listen.
The crowd goes wild.
There might be a more typical Australian scene in that,
but I have never seen it.
Watching an ex-primer
as the skull I paint
yeah
one for the country Robert
one for the country
he doesn't even
falter
doesn't waver
doesn't even think about it
just does it
hand a pint to Boris Johnson
what would he do
I reckon he'd probably do it
because you know
actually he's not even
the ex-primer
hand it to
John Major
oh I don't want to do this I think everyone would have a go even the next prime minister. Hand it to John Major.
Oh, I don't want to do this.
I think everyone would have a go. Would you have a go?
May wouldn't do it.
No way. No way, May.
No way would she do it. She'd never slam it.
Alright, good. Cool.
That was interesting, wasn't it? Lee Russell!
Quick one before we chip off.
Long time ago, sorry, long time no see,
email, just been catching up and you guys wanted
a local story.
This is from The Gift
That Keeps On Giving.
Kingsbridge on Facebook.
A local man,
who I must say
is a crazy person,
flipped his car on a bend
which is three to four miles
away from the sea
down here in South Devon.
The police turned up
to block one side
of the road
in order to move the car
and questioned by the police
as to how he'd managed
to flip his car.
He told them that he swerved to
avoid a squid.
Safe to say the man
had been on the sweet Mary Jane,
aka PD's Hubble Vip.
Yeah.
Calamari, you believe it.
Calamari, you believe it.
He was a real sucker.
It's not really going to
wash that, is it? No.
That's enough for us
