Welcome back to the Luke and Pete show on Thursday,
the 6th of February with me, Luke Moore.
And me, Sam Ashton.
Sam Smith.
Sam Ashton.
Is that what you want to be?
Depends where I want to be.
You should have briefed me beforehand that you were going to agree with yourself.
Sam's with us while Pete's still in Japan.
Probably, I'm going to say getting up to no good.
Almost certainly getting up to no good.
So Sam's deputising.
I am.
One half of the Fantastic Set Meals podcast.
We'd like to showcase our other Stakhanov shows
here on Luke and Pete's show.
And what better way to do it than with Sammy Smith there in the seat.
How you doing, mate?
How's your week been?
My week's been good.
My week's been very joyous, very mellow thus far.
Settling into your new house?
Oh, aye.
Settling right in.
Have you found any rodents?
No rodents.
A lot of spiders in the cellar.
Have you got a cellar?
A little.
Oh, mate, big cellar.
Very, very large indeed.
What's the difference between that and the basement?
Same thing.
I think so.
Cellar sounds better, though, no?
Cellar sounds...
Cellar sounds a bit less murdery.
I was about to say that, yeah.
Basement sounds like it could be that you've got a kind of weed-addicted 18-year-old son
living down there.
Yeah, yeah.
Or you're keeping bodies in there.
Yeah, exactly.
Cellar can sound like...
For me, cellar is...
It's wine.
Yeah, wine.
It's sophisticated.
Well, do you know what?
The dude that sold us the place had...
He was a wine collector and he's left his wine rack there, ready to be filled.
Yeah.
Ready to be slotted in not
that i know anything about wine at all so you've been to hardy's i've been to majestic wines on
the high street thank you got some leaf round milk and a couple of lambrinis get her in there
how was your week it's been all right it's been pretty good pretty busy you know me keeping busy
man oh hi i'm always tearing around that 100 mile an hour aren't i i actually depressingly
um when it comes to
work I actually see
the Luke and Pete
show as a nice
kind of diversion
have a bit of a
relax shit the shit
of me old pal or
in this case you
what about this
week and yeah and
just do my thing
we didn't talk
much about Super
Bowl you watch
Super Bowl Sunday
I didn't actually
watch it I did
watch the main
event though which
was the halftime show
with J-Lo and Shakira
the thing is
I want
I am a
I don't even know
what the word is
an Americophile
I like American things
I like going there
obviously family and stuff
it's a great place
to go to
but
back in the day
I think I wanted
to not like
the Super Bowl
halftime show
because I thought
I think
I don't know what it's a bit naff yeah it's not what it's Bowl halftime show because I thought, I think, you know what?
It's a bit naff. Yeah, it's not what it's about.
We're here to watch a sporting event. I would be like,
what about the players? Their muscles are going to
cool down. They need to stay warm.
It's half an hour. What's happening here?
Keep them busy. But you have
to say, every time you
see it, you go, that's good, isn't it? It is good.
And then you realise that it
is as much about that as the sport,
because it's America, and they love all that shit.
And they understand and respect that everything is an extension
of the entertainment industry.
Yeah, definitely.
Anything.
But ever since I watched that documentary on Netflix
that you put me on to about Aaron Hernandez,
I can't look at American football the same way.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I know what you mean.
Up until fairly recently the
halftime shows used to be like i think they used to be like marching bands and stuff like that
what was the first big one the first sort of i'm not sure big headline but like the interesting
thing is like i mean it's now it's now seen as like a real stamp of quality if you're a recording
artist right oh yeah if you're asked to do the super bowl yeah you're big yeah well
it's like if you look
in 1989 it was the
theme was 1950s rock
and roll it's the most
1989 thing ever the
official title of the
um the halftime show
sound was bebop
bamboozle in 3d in 3d
and the performer
Elvis Presto never
heard of him never
heard of him it's like
walking into a shop and they haven't got the official uh the official songs on before Elvis Presto. Never heard of him. God, gross. Never heard of him. It's like walking into a shop
and they haven't got the official songs on.
Before Elvis Presto performed,
there was an introduction by Bob Costas
and a 3D commercial for Diet Coke.
Oh my God.
How times have changed.
If you went to a Super Bowl,
if you're in your ideal situation,
who would you like as the half-time performer?
Because if we go back over the last, say, 15 years,
you go back to, say, 2005.
I'll list them.
Actually, no.
Let's go back to 2004 because it was Jessica Simpson, Janet Jackson,
P. Diddy, Nelly, Kid Rock, and Justin Timberlake.
And I think that might have been the old wardrobe malfunction year.
Right.
After that, Paul McCartney.
After that, 2006, the Stones.
2007, Prince. 2008, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. 2009, Paul McCartney. After that, 2006, The Stones. 2007, Prince.
2008, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
2009, Bruce Springsteen.
10, The Who.
11, Black Eyed Peas.
12, Madonna.
The thing is, the year the Black Eyed Peas played,
Usher and Slash also played.
That's a mishmash.
That is bizarre.
That's a mishmash.
That is bizarre.
It's like when Bruno Mars played
and introduced the Red Hot Chili Peppers
onto the stage.
They didn't give it away.
Which is like not even the recent
not as good but nonetheless popular
Red Hot Chili Peppers stuff.
I'm going honestly someone like
a mash of like
Kanye West,
Jay-Z,
Beyonce.
Just like entertainment.
But enough sort of jeopardy
in the fact that like Kanye could go a bit West and like beat Man jeopardy in the fact that Kanye could go a bit
West and beat Matt in the pub, could
just go a bit weird, and you don't know what you're
going to get. But also, there's enough there
that you know you're going to get something good.
I don't think they trust Kanye West to do it.
Absolutely not.
The stadium's burning to the ground.
The stadium is burning to the floor.
The rehearsal the day before, just a load of open
mouthed organisers going
what is this
what have we done
yeah it is too late to change
is it all good
okay right yeah
get Maroon 5 in
so you choose Kanye West
I think so
I like Kanye West
he gets bad rep
but
or someone like
I mean if we're wishing
like someone like the Beatles
you know
not gonna happen
but you said
if you know
whatever you want
so if you could
change who are you having you're having Jepsen Carly Rae would be great she's not big enough though you know not gonna happen but you said if you know whatever you want so if you could change
who are you having
you're having
Jepsen
Carly Rae would be great
she's not big enough though
does that matter
no
I think
Pete thinks
the fact that I like
Carly Rae Jepsen
is a bit weird
and my wife did say
that I was the only
heterosexual man
she's ever met
who liked Carly Rae Jepsen
why do you like her so much
she's great
I think she's a good
songwriter
I think she's a good
performer
she's a good singer
I like her
you passionately like her I do you do it's not an act I know it's a good songwriter. I think she's a good performer. She's a good singer. I like her. You passionately like her. I do.
You do. It's not an act. I know.
It's not an act, brother.
My brother. What was the
one, was it in Atlanta
recently when Maroon 5 headlined?
And that was quite controversial because
Atlanta has like a massive music scene.
Maroon 5
was last year at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Maroon 5, Travis Scottoon 5 was last year at the Mercedes-Benz Maroon 5 Travis Scott
Big Boy
that is a
weird
support act
for Maroon 5
but Big Boy is from Atlanta
I know
why isn't he headlining though
get outcast man
yeah
that'd be so good
that would be good
yeah that'd be brilliant
top draw
got one half of outcast there
with Big Boy
so you didn't
stop and watch it
nah I'm not
I'm not arsed man
at all
nah I'm not arsed
did you stay up
nah what time was it on like four nah it's only five hours behind so it'd be So you didn't stop and watch it? No, I'm not arsed, man. At all. No, I'm not arsed. Did you stay up?
No.
What time was it on?
Like four?
No, it's only five hours behind,
so I think it started at about midnight maybe.
That's not too bad, really.
No.
I just don't feel any enjoyment.
By the time it's finished,
it's like 4am though.
Yeah, true.
Got to go to work the next day.
It's just not very good.
Well, anyway, what else has been going?
What's caught your eye this week?
What has caught my eye this week, Luke Moore um i got absolutely ridiculed on our joint whatsapp group about my egg making technique okay yeah my scrambled egg making technique that i i i tweeted out
saying let me find my tweet you said uh let's make it clear the thing is the reason you got
ridiculed i remember this and the reason you got really cool, I remember this, and the reason you got really cool
is because you actually,
you were quite combative
with your opinion on it.
Let me make it clear.
If you vigorously scramble your eggs
rather than folding them gracefully,
you're basic.
You're talking and I hate you.
I stick by it.
I stick by the statement
because I remember
listening to an interview
with this guy called Alvin Kylan
who runs a few restaurants
called Egg Slut, which is like really big in the states what a name i know started as like a food
van uh in la and then they opened a restaurant anyway so and he always talked about how he
should like you should put the eggs in like whisk them beforehand so they're mixed in a bowl and
then put them into a pan a frying pan for like leave them for like 15 20 seconds and then sort of like turn them in the
pan yeah and kind of they make like this like rose shape basically and they're kind of like
scrambled and kind of like a bit messy but they're also kind of together i dig that um and they're
being branded now as like australian eggs right australian folded eggs so i don't like mine
too sloppy yeah i don't obviously don't like them too sloppy. Yeah. And I don't,
obviously don't like them
overcooked as well.
But they go watery.
But,
so a lot of people
will say you cook them
low and slow.
Yeah.
They're more creamy,
but I like to cook them quick.
Yeah.
And I like the fold.
So I'll,
my scrambled egg recipe
is very basic.
Chuck the eggs
in a mixing bowl
or jug,
whatever.
Load of salt and pepper.
Mix them up with a fork
till you're happy with the consistency. Get them up with a fork until you're happy
with the consistency.
Get them in the pan
and like you say,
just gracefully kind of
fold them
so they're not too
scrambled up.
All about the fold.
But I know people
listening and thinking
and they're going to
email in their droves,
hello at lukeandpeach.com.
They're going to email in
and they're going to say,
you're describing an omelette there.
I'm not.
No, it's not an omelette.
I don't mean an omelette.
I don't mean you flip it
and then it's called folding.
It's different.
It is different. Get your spatula, work it around the outside of the pan. I don't mean you flip it and then it's called folding. It's different. It is different.
Get your spatula, work it around the outside of the pan.
Sort of bring it in.
Just like, if anything, just unstick it from the bottom of that pan.
Shit load of butter in there.
And salt it a little bit later on as well so you get that extra salty hit.
Katie in the office, she incurred your wrath by suggesting a splash of milk in there.
Absolutely unbelievable scenes.
When I saw that text
come through,
I thought,
thank God,
the heat's off me.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, she's taken
that bullet for you, mate.
Oh my God.
You basically,
she's just jumped
in front of you
in the shot.
Big time.
Yeah, because that's
just going to deaden the flavour.
Yeah, I don't enjoy that.
No.
People should email in,
hello at Luke.
It's not the homework
for this week,
but it is nevertheless
a subject to talk about
hello at lukeandpeach.com
talk to Space Ground
with Egg Technique
do you put anything else
through it
put a few chives
through there
every now and then
I'll put spring onion
through it
and then with some
like chilli
like chilli
like flakes
like red pepper flakes
but not really no
I like it basic
a lot better
would you ever put it
in the microwave
is the big question
my dad makes them in the microwave is the big question my dad makes them
in the microwave
that is an era
thing I think
because my dad does that
I don't use
butter in there
what
splash of oil
loads of butter
loads and loads
and loads of butter
back onto that
empty calories thing again
I love it
because I'm old
and fat
I love it
how many eggs
would you eat
in one go
in one sitting
four you go four do you yeah I one go? In one sitting? Yeah.
Four.
You go four, do you?
Yeah.
Why don't we go three?
I like more than three.
Yeah, I quite like four.
Four, more eggs than toast.
I've tried like half my toast.
I used to go two slices of toast, three eggs.
Now I go four eggs, one slice of toast.
And the other thing I thought you were going to bring to the table
was you've found some weird, this is Donaldson-esque, this.
This weird craze on youtube
for people drinking endless bottles of water by the way right i found this the other day and
you guys were talking about pete drinking his water a few weeks ago right in the office so
pete basically took uh on one of these episodes a couple weeks ago he took my now gene which he
hates inexplicably yeah uh filled it up to the top as a litre
and drank it as quick as he could.
And I think he did it in 26 seconds.
But I couldn't work out
if that was off the back
of what I found,
which is a new trend
of YouTubers drinking water.
No, it didn't come from that.
It came from the fact
that Pete rates himself
as a bit of a boozer.
Right.
And I said,
hey, lad.
No, exactly.
Hashtag lad.
Hey, lad alarm.
And he couldn't
obviously drink a beer in here. So I said, look, if you can drink quickly,. Lad alarm. And he couldn't obviously drink a beer in here.
So I said, look, if you can drink quickly, just drink water.
And he did it.
But I don't think it's anything to do with this YouTube thing.
What even is this YouTube thing?
So I stumbled across this.
I mean, albeit it is from the sun, which is a bit pathetic.
Bizarre new YouTube craze sees teen vloggers raking in cash with weird videos of themselves
drinking endless bottles of water.
And then it sends you to the YouTube page,
which is a guy called John Drinks Water,
38,000 subscribers,
and all they do is just drink water.
Isn't it dangerous to drink too much, though?
I don't know, but this guy, I mean,
there's a man on the screen just drinking water,
and there's a screenshot of his phone,
and around it are just other smaller versions of him drinking water.
Oh, it's better than The Masked Singer.
Look at that.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
But, you know, when I spoke to Pete a few weeks ago and said,
Pete, you know, people need to,
I think it might have been actually six months ago in the summer,
and I said, Pete, you know, people need to stay hydrated, don't they?
Drink water when it's hot.
He was like, no.
That's not, Pete, that's not true, though, is it?
If anything, we're already 95% water's too much. Drink less. For God's hot. He was like, no. That's not, Pete, that's not true though, is it? If anything,
we're already 95% what was too much.
Drink less.
The man is an absolute maniac.
One popular water YouTuber,
Aaron Drinks Water,
said,
when we reach milestones,
we congratulate each other.
It's bizarre.
It smacks of a guy
at the Sun online desk
not knowing anything about YouTube
and finding this
and going yeah
I'll just put that in there
but to be fair
to him
this guy's channel
is all just that
it's just drinking water
yeah it's not what you want
bizarre
it's not what you want
what we should do now
is
take a quick break
and then when we come back
we are going to
round up
a load more emails
so get one lined up
Sammo
yes sir and we
will set some more homework for this weekend as well all right bear with us a sec we'll see you
in a moment 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 50, Peloton Tread has
workouts you can work in or bring your classes with you for outdoor runs, walks and hikes led

The problem appears to be that we haven't got our photo ID
to try and travel to Scotland,
which, as far as I can remember,
was in the British Isles.
What can we do?
We're utterly hamstrung
by these thick-headed people
wearing orange suits.
Welcome back to the Luke and Pete show on Thursday 6th of February.
Sam, do you find it as fascinating as Pete and I do that it's funny when posh people get angry?
Yeah, very enjoyable.
Very enjoyable because I just feel like they don't know how to do it.
And they're pretending that they do know how to do it.
I don't know that many posh people.
I actually think that Charlie, who we work with,
is one of the poshest people I know,
and he's not even that posh.
He just comes from a posh area.
Yeah.
And I imagine if Charlie got really angry,
he'd turn into Hugh Grant immediately.
Yeah, and I also think...
And the thing that really unites them all
is they get really red-faced.
Yeah, definitely.
Definitely.
Do you have a bit of inverted snobbery then?
Because you're a down-at-hill, trodden-upon Welshman.
No.
I guess maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I never really thought of it, but perhaps I have.
Yeah.
You?
Because you're from a horrible place as well.
I'm conscious that I probably am, but I try not to be.
I try and take people as I find them.
Yeah, right.
I try not to be.
I try and take people as I find them.
Yeah, right.
But I do find it funny when,
I do find it funny when really posh people do anything.
So I have to,
I have to like,
I have to understand that I probably do judge them slightly differently to other people. But I almost feel like they can't get offended because they've had a better upbringing than I.
I would love people to email.
Yeah.
I've been through the stick.
You can't get offended by that.
You've had a fine time. You've got nothing to worry about. Exactly. I'd love people to email I've been through the stick you can't get offended by that you've had a nice time you've had a fine time
you've got nothing to worry about
exactly
I'd love people to email in
and don't be embarrassed
we're all friends here
it's a community
email in
you know the email address
hello at lukeandpeach.com
and make your claim
for being the poshest
listener we've got
yeah good
just send like
audio clips in
yeah
because I met
Mark Puga I've worked with Mark Puga for a yeah because I met Mark Puga
I've worked with Mark Puga
for a sports presenter
I met him last week
and he's married
to a lady
he's married
literally married
into the aristocracy
has he got posher
do you think
well Jules Brees
is quite posher anyway
but I never really
he's such a good broadcaster
that he's so neutral
at the time of broadcasting
he does
you've got to be like
100% straight
and a line neutral he's so good at that that you don't know you've got to be like 100% straight on the line neutral
he's so good at that
that you don't know
it's hard to say
he's posh or he isn't
you think of like
Mark Chapman's another one
sports broadcaster obviously
he's quite northern
but you couldn't really
get any
you couldn't get any
socioeconomic background
from him
because of his work
a bit like Robbie Savage really
yeah
one of your lot
yeah I know
that is a shame
you're welcome to him
so
we've got some more
emails about
the types
more formats
of beers
there was a big
battle
on
on Twitter
earlier this week
between some of our
listeners
and a podcast
called
If There Is Hell Below
which is a brilliant
music podcast
it just gets I think eight songs from basically they're wicked rob and callum they trawl all the blogs
right all the uh places that you'll find like places like soundcloud places like bandcamp all
that kind of stuff and they read voraciously into new music okay and they find eight songs
uh a show and they play them oh it's like. It's like a really good, they're proper like,
I know this is like
a wanky term,
but they're proper
like influencers.
And Rob,
one of the presenters,
he is like the ambassador
for the shower beer.
So he reviews
a shower beer every week.
Nice.
I think he stopped doing it
because him and his wife
had a baby,
but he reviews on Instagram
a shower beer every week.
And when he heard
that we were talking
about shower beers
and that Pete was upset
about the idea of them
and people were saying I don't like them, he was like, this is the king. This is the way to consume a beer. What we were talking about shower beers and that Pete was upset about the idea of them and people were saying, oh, I don't like them.
He was like, this is the king.
This is the way to consume a beer.
What are you talking about?
He was really upset about it.
Anyway, this email came in from Justin, who says, I thought I would write in with what I consider to be the best beer type, the snowblower beer.
I live in the northeast of the united states in a typical american suburb
but we get two to four decent amounts of snow per year this allows me to wheel out my oversized
snowblower help my neighbors and enjoy several cold ones while sticking it to the man in the
process my god i like this so much i will actually drive to the liquor store and purchase beer prior
to a storm just for this purpose. That's so good.
I can't think of a better way to enjoy a crisp, cold beer, and I will tell you why.
Number one, no one will hassle you.
You're removing snow from their walkways and driveways, saving them time and effort.
Number two, the snow next to your garage can hold and keep your beers perfectly cold.
You need a minimum of three, one for your driveway, one for the houses to your left,
and one for the houses to your right.
Number three,
you're working up some warmth
handling the snowblower,
which makes the cold beer taste even better.
Number four,
you are pushing a loud machine
so you can claim you can't hit anyone
that does complain.
Number five,
you can stick it to the man
with very little chance
of having to actually face him.
Ideal.
A close kin to the snowblower beer is the Halloween beer
where yet again I can wander through my neighbourhood
drinking in a costume and
no one will say a thing.
He puts across some very valid points.
I would never consider
a beer in the snow, but he is...
Skiing?
I mean, fine, but
if you're in, whatever, in bloody
Portsmouth and it's snowing outside,
you don't want to be wandering around.
It's just cold.
It's horrible.
But he makes it sound delightful.
This is the thing.
At Christmas, I love a mulled wine.
But this is it.
You want drinks to warm you through.
Your whiskeys, your mulled wine.
You're going into your secret alcohol cupboard and getting out your whiskey.
Yeah, damn right.
I would never think about cracking open a cold one in the snow.
No.
It's just not enjoyable.
I've got one more type of beer here.
I've got one more list of types of beers here,
and I'll hand the emails over to you, Sam.
This is from Ant.
He regularly emails in.
Ant from Alicante.
He said, I moved to write in by the very mention of beer
on your last episode.
Here are my favourite types of beer.
Number four, the bus stop beer.
Straight out of work.
You've got 10 to 12 minutes to wait for the bus. What do you do'm not having that you guessed it i'm not having that no no i'm playing
in there i'm not having a bit depressing that's poor that is poor okay number three the airport
beer is that classic for you sam yeah time of day though is a very risky one with that you don't
want to be one of those guys 3 30 in the morning weather spoons drinking aetherspoons drinking a Guinness. They all do it, don't they?
That's gross though, isn't it?
There's not one man in that Wetherspoons
that's actually enjoying that pint of Guinness.
It is not an enjoyable thing to drink.
I would love people to get in touch about that
because I think to myself,
if I've got to do an early flight,
which does happen,
I get to the airport for five in the morning,
I probably want a nice cup of tea
and a bit of food.
Yes.
I don't want a beer.
The people who do it, are they actually enjoying it? I don't think anyone food. Yes. I don't want a beer. The people who do it,
are they actually enjoying it?
I don't think anyone's enjoying it.
I once went on a stag do,
had a pint of Guinness
because I wanted to fit in
and I had a fry up
and it was very unenjoyable.
I'm pretty sure I had food poisoning.
It was vile.
Yeah.
Gatwick Airport,
Wetherspoons,
disgusting place to drink a pint.
Nah.
Ant says,
I'm not the world's keenest flyer
but the whole operation
is made much more palatable
by three or four pints. I don't think I agree. Yeah. Number says, I'm not the world's keenest flyer, but the whole operation is made much more palatable by three
or four pints.
I don't think I agree.
Yeah.
Number two,
cooking beer.
I love cooking,
me,
and the experience
is so much more enjoyable
if a few cold ones
are on hand
to quaff between
all that chopping,
stirring,
and whatnot.
Yeah.
And number one,
bath time beer.
I'm not having that.
You can't tell me
a bath time beer
is better than a shower beer.
Nah,
not at all.
The only thing that might raise it above a shower beer
is getting one of those inflatable floaty things
that the beer goes in on the water
and just like warms up around.
I know, but it bobs around as well.
It's satisfying.
It does.
Yeah, that's to be fair.
It does.
What have you got there, mate?
Henry Payne got in touch about his bedtime routine.
Okay, great.
My bedtime routine consists of my wife
making me double check every single window outside the bedroom, and I mean every window, that it's closed.
Although, with the doors being locked, as well as checking that every appliance is switched off at the wall before bed.
Annoyingly, it comes from me telling her stories of the times my house was burgled as a kid.
For a while, we also had a kettlebell sat in front of our closed bedroom door to stop home invaders getting into our room whilst we slept.
It's like someone sat at home alone.
Absolutely terrifying.
He also goes on to say, on the beer subject,
beers on a rowboat is massively underrated.
Go to Richmond, grab a rowboat with your mates and a box of beers.
Loads of fun.
It's a lesser spotted beer.
It really is.
I can't remember the last time I was in a rowboat.
It's back to the posh people chat
we were talking about.
Speaking of house burglaries,
have I ever told you the story
about when my house was burgled
while I was in it?
No.
So when I was living in the house
before I'm in now,
I was with my ex-girlfriend
and about 6.30 in the morning
I was kind of conscious
of this kerfuffle.
It was in the summer
and the flat was tiny.
It was just one bedroom the size of the studio and a living room
with a tiny little kitchen and bathroom off it, and that was it.
And we'd left the windows open because it was so hot,
and we were on the first floor, but there was an extension
on the ground floor outside the window.
So it was a bit of a stupid thing to do, but it was a nice area.
Yeah, so at 6.30 in the morning, obviously it's bright daylight
because it's summer, and I noticed this kerfuffle looked around and my ex-girlfriend wasn't in the bed
well that's a bit crazy so i don't know what happened uh so i got up to check and um as i
went through to the living room the living room was like in an absolute state and she had basically
chased off a burglar who had jumped back out the window and legged it what and what he had done
is he had got through the window,
took a sleeping bag out of the sleeping bag bag,
if you know what I mean,
and started filling it with CDs, DVDs,
and all that kind of stuff,
put it over his shoulder and jumped out the window.
And yeah, it was weird.
What a weird time of day to break in though.
Yeah.
Because surely people are always in at that time
right
well the detective
who was assigned to the case
you'll be no doubt surprised
to know they didn't catch him
was said that it's
it's a desperation burglary
like it's a drug addict
or something
and they've seen the window open
and they thought
I'm going to go for it
and nicked CDs
do you know what I mean
the thing I found weird
was yeah they nicked
a load of CDs
and one copy
of Little Miss Sunshine DVD.
They went through
all the other DVDs
and left them there.
It's so weird, isn't it?
Yeah, and I don't know
if it was a man or a woman,
but it was kind of weird
because the way he said
it was a desperation
kind of drug addict burglary
is because,
as you've already mentioned,
he probably knows
that we're in
at that time in the morning,
but he's not trying to be quiet. Yeah, he just overrides. He's just like, get in at that time in the morning but he's not
trying to be quiet yeah just overrides he's just like getting get out yeah yeah but you think like
a cat burglar would yeah care but like i mean i remember i got burgled when i was a kid when i
was like eight or nine and uh they took loads like just i don't remember what they took i just
remember my mum coming to school and pulling me out of school and just being like yeah we'll be
burgled this is rubbish and like loads of my neighbours being like, oh yeah, we actually saw
someone walking down the street
with a black bin bag
slung over their shoulder
and we didn't really
think of anything.
I was like,
guys, guys, guys,
that is suspect.
Where's your community spirit?
I don't know.
What is going on?
The other weird thing
about that is that
he'd used,
we had like a window
that opened kind of upwards.
I pulled upwards.
He'd used a CD player
to prop the window open
but didn't actually take it.
That's mental.
You're an idiot.
That's mental.
You're an idiot.
Were you in the house at the time?
No, I was in school.
My mum was at work.
Oh, you said, yeah.
Your mum was at work?
Yeah.
Because it happened to us one morning.
I grew up in quite a rough part of town
and one morning we went downstairs
and they hadn't actually got in
but they tried to crowbar
open the patio doors
so I remember my dad
being like really pissed
off about it
and I think the next
that day
he went and got
a lock kit
and he locked
he installed a lock
a dead lock
into the living room
door
so they came
to the back room door
so they came in
they couldn't get past us
they couldn't get to us
and I don't know if it happened again but anyway um yeah i mean it's not great is it burger people
burger in people's houses naughty if you ask me um what about this from oh he hasn't left his name
oh danny danny he says hello gents just wondering if either of you have ever played the mostly
unknown n64 game buck bumble heard one, Sam? It did spark some
nostalgia in my mind,
yeah.
Okay, I haven't heard
of it.
It wasn't great.
It didn't do well
enough to warrant a
sequel, but the
soundtrack was
absolutely banging.
The game's main
theme tune is an
absolute classic
house banger.
Here it is if you've
never heard it before.
So we've played quite
a lot of game theme
tunes over the years.
Let's see if this
one's any good.
Wow.
I imagine the burglars are listening to this
when they're breaking into houses.
This is fucking brilliant.
Can you believe how good this is?
It's unbelievable.
I planned the whole thing it's good
it's really good
so yeah
are we all good
with the release
of the video game
is it on time
it's not on time
no
and how's it
how's it been reviewed
badly
you spent all the money
on the theme
the theme
is brilliant.
Looking great.
Past the main menu, though.
We're lost.
We're in the dark.
If they turn it on and just leave it,
it's the best game ever.
The beauty of it is it's so good,
they don't want to leave it,
so that's all they get to.
That sounds fun.
It's absolutely amazing.
I think that's the best theme tune I've heard in ages.
So weird.
I'll tell you what,
if Janet Jackson heard that,
she'd rip it off instantly.
As she did, famously,
with the Sonic theme tune.
Alright, listen,
let's get out of here,
we're out of time now.
Sam, it's been an absolute pleasure
