Starting point is 00:00:53 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.
Starting point is 00:01:09 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?
Starting point is 00:01:25 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.
Starting point is 00:01:34 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.
Starting point is 00:01:44 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.
Starting point is 00:01:55 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
Starting point is 00:02:10 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
Starting point is 00:02:29 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
Starting point is 00:02:38 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
Starting point is 00:02:45 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
Starting point is 00:02:54 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
Starting point is 00:03:02 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
Starting point is 00:03:11 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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.
Starting point is 00:03:42 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
Starting point is 00:04:08 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
Starting point is 00:04:20 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.
Starting point is 00:04:33 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.
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:20 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
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:41 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 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
Starting point is 00:06:10 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
Starting point is 00:06:17 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
Starting point is 00:06:24 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
Starting point is 00:06:30 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
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:41 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?
Starting point is 00:06:56 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
Starting point is 00:07:08 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
Starting point is 00:07:16 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
Starting point is 00:07:22 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?
Starting point is 00:07:28 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.
Starting point is 00:07:38 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,
Starting point is 00:08:06 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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
Starting point is 00:08:39 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:09:14 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.
Starting point is 00:09:22 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
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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.
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:10:02 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
Starting point is 00:10:10 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
Starting point is 00:10:15 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
Starting point is 00:10:24 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
Starting point is 00:10:30 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
Starting point is 00:10:37 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
Starting point is 00:10:46 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
Starting point is 00:10:55 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
Starting point is 00:11:01 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.
Starting point is 00:11:07 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
Starting point is 00:11:20 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.
Starting point is 00:11:47 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
Starting point is 00:11:57 as a bit of a boozer. Right. And I said, hey, lad. No, exactly. Hashtag lad. Hey, lad alarm. And he couldn't
Starting point is 00:12:04 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
Starting point is 00:12:21 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,
Starting point is 00:12:40 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,
Starting point is 00:12:56 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.
Starting point is 00:13:10 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
Starting point is 00:13:22 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
Starting point is 00:13:31 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
Starting point is 00:13:40 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
Starting point is 00:13:57 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 by expert instructors on the Peloton app. Call yourself a runner. Peloton all access membership separate. Learn more at onepeloton.ca slash running. at onepeloton.ca slash running. 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,
Starting point is 00:14:37 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.
Starting point is 00:14:56 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.
Starting point is 00:15:10 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?
Starting point is 00:15:23 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?
Starting point is 00:15:34 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,
Starting point is 00:15:49 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.
Starting point is 00:16:05 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
Starting point is 00:16:13 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
Starting point is 00:16:22 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
Starting point is 00:16:31 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
Starting point is 00:16:38 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:16:55 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
Starting point is 00:17:01 yeah I know that is a shame you're welcome to him so we've got some more emails about the types more formats
Starting point is 00:17:12 of beers there was a big battle on on Twitter earlier this week between some of our listeners
Starting point is 00:17:20 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
Starting point is 00:17:40 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
Starting point is 00:17:51 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
Starting point is 00:17:59 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.
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:42 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,
Starting point is 00:19:06 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,
Starting point is 00:19:18 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.
Starting point is 00:19:31 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.
Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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.
Starting point is 00:20:12 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.
Starting point is 00:20:26 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.
Starting point is 00:20:52 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.
Starting point is 00:21:03 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
Starting point is 00:21:14 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Number two, cooking beer. I love cooking, me, and the experience is so much more enjoyable if a few cold ones are on hand
Starting point is 00:21:32 to quaff between all that chopping, stirring, and whatnot. Yeah. And number one, bath time beer. I'm not having that.
Starting point is 00:21:39 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
Starting point is 00:21:50 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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.
Starting point is 00:22:30 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
Starting point is 00:22:46 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,
Starting point is 00:22:56 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.
Starting point is 00:23:11 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
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:24:00 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
Starting point is 00:24:11 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
Starting point is 00:24:20 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
Starting point is 00:24:28 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
Starting point is 00:24:38 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
Starting point is 00:24:53 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.
Starting point is 00:25:10 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
Starting point is 00:25:17 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.
Starting point is 00:25:29 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?
Starting point is 00:25:36 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
Starting point is 00:25:48 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
Starting point is 00:25:56 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
Starting point is 00:26:03 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.
Starting point is 00:26:27 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
Starting point is 00:26:32 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
Starting point is 00:26:38 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
Starting point is 00:27:11 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
Starting point is 00:27:18 and how's it how's it been reviewed badly you spent all the money on the theme the theme is brilliant. Looking great.
Starting point is 00:27:25 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.
Starting point is 00:27:35 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,
Starting point is 00:27:45 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 to have you on this week. And just give people where they can go
