Hello and welcome to the Luke and Pete show with me Luke. It's the show that's not really a show, a half hour deep dive into absolutely nothing and as regular listeners will know I'm usually well captained by my old mate Pete.
listeners will know I'm usually well captained by my old mate Pete.
But Pete is in Japan at the moment, travelling around, getting up to no good,
and also recording some episodes of Abroad in Japan,
which is another Stakhanov podcast you should absolutely go and subscribe to now,
whether you love Japanese culture or not.
There's plenty in there to enjoy.
Search Abroad in Japan wherever you get your pods.
I had Set Meal Sam deputising last week in a fine bloody job he did too telling us all about
perfect burgers,
how to make scrambled eggs
and what it was like
growing up in the
valleys of Wales.
Well, this time around
I'm joined by another
legend of Stakhanov
podcasting.
It's Jack Dean!
Hello, mate.
Of Jack Makes Happy Hour.
Can I just say,
Pete's always in Japan,
isn't he?
I know.
I used to be a fan of,
well, I still am a fan of the Ramble,
but before I ever met you, I was a fan of all of you guys.
It seemed like every fucking week he was like,
I shouldn't swear on you, should I?
Yeah, you can do what you want.
Oh, good.
All right, fuck, I'll get out of my system now.
How are you?
I'm good, mate.
I'm very well. And yeah, Pete is always away.
We normally pre-record these in advance for when he's going to be away,
but we've just been so busy that we thought, you know what?
Let's just get some other people in.
Let's just get some fresh voices in.
So when I go away, he's going to get someone else in.
Oh, okay.
So you've picked people you kind of work with here at the network.
Yeah.
What kind of people are he going to bring in?
Probably Alex from the canteen,
the geezer from the London Underground station.
I have no idea.
I don't know.
I mean, hopefully it'll be
someone else from a stack show
so maybe Alex Zane
or Mark Haynes
or someone like that
but Jack
you are
someone who is
you're probably the most famous person
in this
in this stable of podcast
turn your phone off
that's the first part
oh it's Lloyd's Bank
saying I've gone into my overdrafts
it's rapper Lloyd Banks
you live your life via YouTube right yeah That's the first part. Oh, it's Lloyds Bank saying I've gone into my overdrafts. It's rapper Lloyd Banks.
You live your life via YouTube, right?
Yeah.
So tell us what that's like.
What do you mean, what is it like? What's it like being a YouTuber day to day?
Yeah, because you do Jack Makes Happy Hour,
which is a podcast that comes out once or twice a week.
Yeah.
On Stakhanov.
Yeah.
And we do it with Stevie and Jordan.
Jordan, yeah.
And people can go and listen to that if they want to learn about that it's a great show it's lots of fun but but this came
about because you're a youtuber yeah how old are you now i'm 26 i'm 27 soon so you've never had a
proper job never had a proper job well i have had a proper job i worked at bella italia serving
pizzas for about six months but that was during my time as a youtuber so people used to come in
and think it's not going very well. Do they recognize you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On my first day, I spilt cream all over this man's coat.
And I was terrified.
I went bright red in the face.
And then I went home and somebody tweeted,
Jack made serve me at work today,
threw cream all over my dad.
I was like, I can't be here much longer.
The kid was like, he's probably doing that
for his YouTube video.
He's doing that for his channel.
Yeah, I went pranked.
And the crew came out from the kitchen.
So what is it like living your life on YouTube
because to me
I feel like it'll be
a fucking nightmare
it is
yeah yeah
I'm kind of like
well you know
Luke
I nearly called you Pete then
no
I don't take it too serious
so
there's a lot of YouTubers
that are
that live
in YouTube
so their whole life is
they have to hang around
with other YouTubers they have to hang around with other YouTubers.
They have to do this, have to do that.
I'm just,
I basically see myself as unemployed.
And I occasionally make the odd video.
That's the way I see it.
Because I think you can be
consumed by it quite easily.
Obviously, Alex, a good friend of mine,
who was an original host of the Happy Hour,
he said himself,
once you live by the law of YouTube,
that's all you can think about
and friendships start being a bit fake
because, for example,
I'll go to YouTube conventions,
the first thing people say when they meet you is,
how many subscribers have you got?
That's not a normal opening question.
So it's a very artificial kind of network.
So I try to just...
And the normal question should be, in a proper friendship,
how many beers have you already had?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good segue.
Yeah.
I wasn't even planning that.
So you are, of course, a regular listener to all of our shows.
So you know all about the favourite type of beer.
Yeah.
You've got something
to bring to this table,
presumably,
because I'll tell you
what we'll do
after the ad break,
as normal,
we'll do a lot of emails.
People have emailed
in their droves
about the different
types of beers.
I do feel a little bit
kind of conscious
that there are people
out there who don't drink beer
who won't be able
to relate to this.
But when you say
what type of beer are you,
can you bend the rules a little bit? And if you're a cider man, can you say what type of beer are you, can you bend the rules a little bit?
And if you're a cider man, can you say what kind of cider are you?
Yeah, but I'm talking about the situation of beer.
Of course, yeah.
But what about if you...
Oh, okay.
So not a beer, but a cider instead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you...
No.
Yeah, I think you probably can because I was talking to someone the other day about this.
I said I was coming up on the show.
And we then started talking about different types of satisfying drinks
like the sundowner G&T.
That's not a beer,
but it's got to be right up there.
Yeah.
After a long day's work or you're on holiday
as the sun's going down,
you have a nice G&T with a little lime in it.
Yeah.
That's a great version.
I like that.
I was once sent,
part of my job is obviously to do brand deals
and I was sent
numerous too many crates from vk you know like the alka pop is that still going yeah yeah yeah
well it's not are you are you thinking about wkd no i'm thinking about vk there's different colors
yeah yeah yeah and uh they sent me loads of crates and then i didn't have any beer in the house one
day so i come back home from probably recording the show and was just drinking VKs around the house.
On your own?
Yeah, that was a low point, I'll be honest.
And they still sell them?
Yeah, they still sell them, yeah, yeah.
They sent me some custom VK trainers.
Never worn.
They're horrible.
Thanks very much.
I'm obviously never going to wear them.
Yeah, they had emojis on.
Did they?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like someone's gone,
what do YouTubers like? Alka-Pops and emojis on. Did they? Yeah. It's like someone's gone, what do YouTubers like?
Alka-Pops and emojis.
Get them on a train here.
Like I'm a 15-year-old goth.
I'm 26.
Do you think you have in any way a normal life?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It would be easy to not have that,
but because up until recently,
my fiancée Fiona's just worked in retail and
we just sort of lived together in a little place in norwich i've met i've maintained that but um
yeah yeah i'd say so what was it like growing up in norwich fucking brilliant was it good
norwich is class yeah yeah well when i was like going you know when you go through your like edgy
18 19 years yeah i was like i hate norwich when i I want to come to London where dreams are made
and then I
got to London
and hated it
did you?
yeah I don't like it
I'm not a fan
you always come in
and go out again
don't you?
straight away
yeah
I don't want to hang about
a lot of my London friends
you know
we've got to catch up soon
we've got to have a beer
it's like yeah yeah yeah
never going to happen
I just want to go
straight away
like after this
I've got to go into
central London
for a few things dreading it dreading it that's weird because I just want to go straight away like after this I've got to go into central London for a few things
dreading it
dreading it
that's weird
because I really like
living here
do you
yeah
but that's because
you're a man about town
isn't you
I don't know about that
I can see
you've got Heelys on
exactly
down the street
you know me
so people who've
listened to the show
but can't picture me
just picture
like a really old Michael J Fox Fox in Back to the Future.
That's me.
Skateboard or Heelys down the street.
Well, you did say before we started that you look like my dad.
I feel like when I see our faces up on the screen.
Because with Pete, I can look at Pete and go, yeah.
We're the same age.
Yeah.
He's weirder than me, so it makes me feel comfortable.
This whole thing is about me feeling less insecure because Pete's mad.
Right.
And I think, well, I'm not mad, though.
No.
I've got loads of faults, and loads of people online hate me.
They should probably have the same.
Yeah.
But Pete's mental.
Yeah.
So it's fascinating to me to talk to him about the way he thinks about things.
Yeah.
A friend gave me a vape that was illegally imported from California,
like a little all-in-one vape that was breath-activated
when you suck in. Like that.
The weed comes out.
And, yeah,
people talk about weed like it's the most
creative drug.
I wrote one thing when I was off my head last night.
Marine Kong Karate.
Right. I was imagining,
I think, some kind of King Kong character
dressed as
a karate master
at the docks
so
yeah
that's the limits
of my 1960s era
sort of Beatles journey
it's like 1998
all over again
Pete
I say this all the time
you know Pete
a little bit
people
talk about
the fact that we
play up how
crazy it is
but I don't think we do
I think we
downplay it a little bit.
Yeah.
See, I don't know,
because I've never seen the crazy side of him,
but every now and then you'll see a little spark
or a little line that you think,
I wouldn't have ever said that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I barely know him.
He does this thing where he says something outrageous
and then he looks at you
and he knows that you're thinking what you're doing.
And he'll go, before you can say anything,
he'll go, what?
What?
What?
That's not challenging you to question.
It's a bit similar to last night I was around my nan and grandad's
and that they are of a different era.
A bygone era.
You'd hope so, wouldn't you?
That'd be weird.
If they're the same age as you, that'd be weird.
How old's your grandad?
27.
And I purposely just, obviously obviously this would never ever be something
i'd do publicly but i'll just sit there and it'll all be like a lovely sunday setting and i will
just say like the most outrageous thing i can because of just how accepting they are on it
they go yeah yeah it's like why are you not challenging me on this that's mental and like i
i'll read read things like,
so when you,
I follow a lot of these Brexit pages
just because I find it quite funny.
And there was one,
did you see the one where they said
that the Muslims were going to change
the name of Big Ben to Massive Muhammad?
And I read that to my granddad.
He's like, disgusting.
I knew it would happen.
It's been in the pipeline for ages.
Yeah, that's funny.
Oh, dear.
What I like with my granddad, he's amazing. That's funny. Oh, dear. I like, with my granddad,
he's amazing.
He's just an amazing bloke.
And I like,
like,
introducing him
to, like,
younger things.
Yeah.
And he's really into it.
So, like,
it's actually been a bit
of a thorn in my side
because I'll introduce him
to something like
a smartphone.
Right.
And then he'll want one.
Yeah.
So I got him one for Christmas
a few years ago
and now he's saying
that the smartphone
screen's too small
so he needs an iPad. Can he have one for Christmas? Of course ago and now he's saying that the smartphone screen's too small so he needs an iPad.
Can he have one for
Christmas?
Of course he's got
no idea how much
they are.
So I'll go and
buy him one for
Christmas and then
I'll get phone calls
every five minutes
about how to work
it.
Anyway but I
showed him Jurassic
Park.
I don't know if I
might have said this
on the show before
but I showed him
Jurassic Park for
the first time and
he's watching it and
the power lines go
down and the
dinosaurs get out. And I said Grandad you seen what's happened it. And the power lines go down and the dinosaurs get out.
And I said, Grant, have you seen what's happened there?
The power lines have gone down and the dinosaurs are going to get out.
And he's like, and there's people in the park.
I was like, yeah.
And he goes, it's going to be a bloodbath.
He's just so into it.
So sinister.
He's just loving it.
Did he think it was a documentary?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, it's brilliant.
But what have you been up to recently, Jack?
We normally sort of run through what's been going on. How's your weekend been? Good, mate, good. Obviously, it's brilliant. But what have you been up to recently, Jack? We normally sort of run through what's been going on.
How's your weekend been?
Good, mate, good.
Obviously, we had that storm yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
We were one of only three matches in Norfolk that had our game still go on.
So you played Sunday League football?
Yeah, played Sunday League football.
And it must have been hit hard because Norwich is really flat.
Yeah, yeah, just a load of fields, a load of fields.
And our skipper didn't turn up yesterday,
so deputy here.
What kind of captain is he?
I stepped up.
He's been on the show before.
He's a leader.
He's a leader.
He's a cool leader.
I wouldn't go...
Apart from when it's a bit windy.
Yeah.
I wouldn't go Terry.
I'd go more Pirlo-esque.
I don't know if Pirlo was a captain,
but he looks like him.
So he just...
What, he kind just leads by example.
Yeah, yeah.
So I stepped up to the plate.
Is that a phrase?
Baseball plate.
That's a baseball plate.
Oh, right.
Okay, you always learn something on this show, don't you?
That's what I like about it.
It's normally incorrect, but you do learn something, yeah.
No, yeah, so the ref took me and the other skipper into the changing rooms
and was like, I'm calling this off.
And we was like, no, no, you're not.
We've got a team out here.
Some of our players travel an hour to play this.
So we played. What are some of the towns they would have come
from? Bungie, this.
Yeah. Are you familiar
with these? Bungie's a good name for a town.
Yeah, well good. What's it like? It's alright.
We've got Wyndham.
Google how you spell that.
That'll blow your mind. Is it W-Y
N-D-H-A-M? No, it's Wy it w y n d h a m no it's y mondham
wow it's pronounced windham windham i think it's just in norfolk people go windham yeah okay do
you know what i mean when you say you're from norwich you're actually from norwich i am from
center norwich center okay so you are yeah pisses me off when people say they're from norwich and
they're from like heather set is from, like, Heatherset.
Is that one of your more niche complaints?
I'm from Portsmouth, but I grew up in Gosport,
but I feel like no one knows where Gosport is.
No, I've heard you mention this a lot on your shows,
and I don't have a clue.
No.
So I can paint a mental picture.
Where is it, then?
So, Portsmouth is on sort of this side of the harbour.
Right. You've got Portsmouth Harbour like that,
and on this side is Gosport. So it's the other side of the harbour. Okay. You've got Portsmouth Harbour like that, and on this side is Gosport.
So it's the other side of the harbour.
Okay.
But it's got a PO postcard.
It's its own town, really.
Yeah.
It's a big town of about 80,000 or 90,000 people.
Right.
But you know, I mean, I just felt like
when I first moved to London,
no one really gave a shit about the small town I was from.
So I just ended up saying Portsmouth.
And of course, because I support Portsmouth
as a football team,
it's kind of easy for people to kind of get it.
Yeah.
But I feel like maybe I should give Gosport a bit more respect.
Yeah, you should.
Yeah.
Now Matt Ritchie's playing in the Premier League.
He's from Gosport.
Is he?
Yeah, perhaps I should give it a bit more respect.
He's a player as well, isn't he?
Absolute player.
On the radio once, we had him on on the phone,
and I asked him what his local pub was.
And he said, I haven't got a local pub.
And I was like, that's probably why you're a football player.
I'm not.
Yeah.
But anyway, so what happened in the changing room?
No, we just convinced the ref
because the ref was
a younger lad
and we were like,
you're not calling this off.
And we managed to convince him.
The whole game,
he didn't want to be there.
He kept going,
skipper, skipper.
And I'd turn around,
he's like,
we've got to call this off.
Did he?
All the way through the game?
Yeah, yeah.
But we were against the win
first half
and we were only 2-1 down.
And he comes up to me and was like,
we're calling this off at halftime.
I was like, you're fucking joking.
We're against the wind, and we're only 2-1 down.
So I convinced him to carry on.
We lost 3-1.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So all the way through the game, he was saying?
All the way through.
He must have asked me eight times.
Eight times.
Did you say in the change before the game,
don't worry, ref, we play on the deck anyway.
Yeah, yeah.
We like to keep it on the deck. Yeah, yeah. We have to keep
it on the deck.
Yeah, yeah.
He came up to me
at half time,
he went,
just seeing that
Man City versus
West Ham's been
postponed,
but East Tudman
versus Heatherset
isn't.
No, our goalkeeper
took a goal kick
at one point,
went out for a
corner.
We can see the
corner from him.
Is he a bad
keeper?
No, the wind.
Yeah, I know,
I get that,
but is he a bad
keeper?
Oh, he's shit.
He is terrible.
He's from Boston in New York, and he just rocked up, didn wind. Yeah, I know, I get that. Yeah, oh, he's shit. He is terrible. He's, yeah,
he's from Boston
in New York
and he just rocked up,
didn't know anyone
and went,
can I play?
He was like,
yeah, go and go.
He had the ball
once in his hands
ready to do a drop kick
and he just held
onto it for ages.
I was playing centre-back
at the time.
I was like,
Travis,
Travis,
kick the ball
and he just sort of
looked at me
and was like,
I got this,
I got this.
I went,
you've got about
three seconds left. He just looked at me and laughed i'm not i'm not joking you have six seconds
to do this and he's the kind of keeper where the ball would go out for goal kick but he'd try and
drop kick it out and all sorts it's an embarrassment he doesn't even know the rules of the game doesn't
know the rule where did you say he's from boston you said boston in new york uh brooklyn oh brook
yeah that's confusing.
And we have got some American listeners
and they will never listen again
if we go Boston, New York.
I meant Brooklyn.
I meant Brooklyn.
How did they end up in the glorious town of Hederset?
I can't believe you retained that information there.
That's good.
You're a model pro.
I've had some guests on Happy Hour before.
They've told me their name
and I forgot it 20 minutes in.
And it's awkward.
So you are a pro. No, it's john carry on he he he he's uh he's on the base raf base just outside okay norwich at lake and heath so you've got no other candidates
for goalkeeper no no i'll be honest when you asked me to um come in and fill in for pete on
this show i didn't think i'd be doing a five-minute segment about Travis, our American goalkeeper.
That's how it goes, mate.
Yeah, yeah.
I like it.
Do you know, I did an escape room yesterday.
Yeah, did you?
Have you done one?
Yeah, I've done so many.
So one thing that made me realise
is that when I found out I was getting this escape room thing
for Christmas, it was me...
You got an escape room.
Yeah.
Just a bill in your house.
Yeah, get out of that, you cunt.
Is that what your dad was cleaning the anvil? I've double-locked it, yeah. My dad cleaning the an escape room. Yeah. Just a bill in your house. Yeah, get out of that, you cunt. Is that what your dad was cleaning the anvil?
I've double locked it, yeah.
My dad cleaning the anvil is another story.
I'll tell you that in a minute.
It sounds rude, but it's not.
My parents got myself and my wife,
my sister and my brother-in-law
an escape room present
because they thought it would be fun.
And it was really fun.
But when I found out I got the escape room,
I realised,
I think I was the only person
under the age of 40 on earth who
hadn't done one before yeah a lot of people have done it mate oh fiona my partner she absolutely
loves them we must have done six in the past year have you always got out of them always yeah we did
we did in 48 minutes i was quite proud of did you did you quite a tough one as well yeah where'd you
do this secret studios in east london all right i've never done one in london i've done two in prague
recently you're scared of london aren't you yeah true london's an escape room for me
get out as quickly as i can any train any train yeah yeah in prague yeah done two in prague yeah
but funny story this set we did the first one it was incredible it's the best escape room i've ever
did three rooms laser beams you have to go through everything it was it was incredible so afterwards we kept we we uh we booked another one straight
away for the next day we smashed through it because one of the locks right uh this is not
going to paint me in a good picture at all but i remember there's a certain type of lock you can
just open if you listen to like the combination when clicks. I come from a rough part of Norwich, right?
And we were doing the first room,
and I could just hear the lock clicking.
So I just opened this lock, impressed Fiona,
and we got straight through to the last room.
I was like, we've bypassed so much,
we're going to get the record here.
We were stuck on this one key for ages.
We couldn't find this key.
We was looking up at the TV where they show the hints.
Couldn't find the key.
Couldn't find the key.
About five minutes from time,
we'd wasted half an hour
trying to find this key.
The guy that's running
the escape rooms come in
in broken English going,
sorry, forgot to put key.
Fuck me.
Money back?
No, I think we got 50% off,
which is a piss take.
I've ruined the experience for you you can
have half your money back thanks mate yeah yeah you're making money that's outrageous yeah when
we turned up there was another group of like 20 people that was doing one as well right so um he
put us i knew it was going to be bad from the start because he put us in the room and forgot
to tell us to look at the screen for the story so it's just like this is not good no it's not good
no but they are good and I do encourage anyone out there
who's not done one
to do one
can I spoil
people listening
by saying something
about the one
I did yesterday
go on
I don't want to
I'll say it anyway
I won't give the name
of the escape room
so I don't spoil it
I've just said
it's in East London
so it could be anywhere
it's East London
so there's probably
about 50 of them
you're in this room
and it's like
set up as a
kind of horror one obviously you're in this room. Yeah. And it's like set up as a kind of horror one.
Obviously you're in this room.
It's an escape room.
And anyway,
at some point,
I won't put too fine a point on it,
but you've got to unlock a lock
to get into a wardrobe.
Right.
It's fucking funny, right?
So you get to that stage
and it's a combination lock
and to get the combination
you need to find the code
and you've got to do a lot of other stuff
to get the code, right?
As you start doing the code,
someone bangs on the wardrobe from inside it what so you're like what so tell me they don't have an actor in there the whole time i'm not going to tell you but i absolutely shit a brick i bet you
did because you do not expect someone to be in a fucking wardrobe no it was awful but it's really
really good so there is someone in there then i ain't gonna tell you but it was mental all right
tell me i'll tell you later yeah i'll tell you that but i like the fact that you said you really
impressed fiona by uh picking the lock imagine going back to her parents the first time what's
he like well he's a thief he is a thief he's a thief but apart from that he's all right i've got
no argument no you haven't all right after the break we're gonna do some emails people can
obviously email in hello at luke and pete show.com to get in touch. Loads of you have already.
Just the other side
of the break,
we'll do those
with Jack as well.
Bear with me a sec.
My mama thinks I'm lazy.
My friends all think
I'm crazy.
I think that's O-Town.
Does that mean
anything to you?
Nothing.
I think it's O-Town,
a boy band that Pete
discovered that he really
liked a while back.
We discovered a boy band called E-Mail. Did you? In in the 90s but it's spelled m-a-l-e
like a male all right so so was it a play on yeah oh and we went down this route of different
really bad boy bands so when do emails come in then what do you mean oh yeah so i think i think
probably around that time what 90s i think from mid to late 90s yeah gee i remember the internet coming in but
i don't know if i thought emails were a bit before but do you remember a world before internet yeah
i remember where i remember my nan getting dial up do you remember that the horrible dialect
yeah that was because i remember being because pete and i often talk about this i remember
i'm old enough to to remember that when i first saw the idea of the internet
on the news being like this is unbelievable yeah i cannot get my head around how mad this is what
so what was your if you can remember that time how different is the reality of the internet to
what you thought it was going to be well on one hand is because obviously it's improved
since anyway but it's obviously on one. Well, on one hand, because obviously it's improved since anyway,
but it's obviously on one level amazing,
but on one level much worse.
I think people predicted how mad the world
was going to go because of it.
Because what's happened is,
if you've got a guy in a small town,
let's say, Hederset, right,
who has got some pretty problematic ideas
about women or ethnic minorities,
that's probably going to be or ethnic minorities yeah that's probably
going to be old-fashioned that's probably going to be limited to like the local pub they'll be
all over it there yeah yeah actually yeah okay it's a bad example you understand what i mean
yeah whereas now he can find a hundred thousand of the other ones who like think like that
otherwise he never would have met yeah and they can form a movement start a movement yeah all of
a sudden the president of the United States
is Donald Trump
so it can be pretty problematic
but anyway, emails hello at lukeandpeatshow.com
so Jack I know you won't be well across all the stuff
we've talked about recently because you're a very busy man
but I will give you explainers on these emails
as we go
if you feel like you need them
one of the pieces of homework we set
a couple of weeks ago which we set every Thursday so you and i will set that later in the week um pete said that he would like
our listeners to um create the best sausage they can but just with stuff that's in their house at
this moment that is so pete it is so pete and none of the suggestions have been anything less
than horrific right there's not been one edible one.
So the latest one comes from Jo Brand.
Sorry, Jo Brown, not Jo Brand.
She does Bake Off.
It says, one slice of ham, spread peanut butter evenly across the diameter.
Peanut butter and ham.
Roll that up, and bosh, you've got yourself a salty, nutty sausage.
Don't mind it, Luke.
Would you eat that?
Yeah.
Would you not? Have you put that in there because you think that's a disgusting suggestion? I. Don't mind it, Luke. Would you eat that? Yeah. Would you not?
Have you put that in there
because you think that's a disgusting suggestion?
I just think it's a little bit niche.
Yeah, of course it's niche,
but I mean, you're making a fucking sausage
from things you find in the house.
Yeah.
It's got pork in it, I guess.
That's a start.
Unless you've got, like, sausage meat and casing.
That's true, yeah.
They're all going to be quite niche.
One we heard last week was take a banana skin
off a banana
yeah
fill the empty banana skin
with oatmeal
Luke's explaining this to me
his hands are down
by his crotch
I put my hands
on the table
and then seal it
with honey
what
but then you're eating
the skin
I know
that's mental
yeah
no
it's not good
I'd prefer the little
salty nut sausage here.
Clip that out.
Did you have a rumour in your school as a kid?
I'd love to know if these rumours went through generations.
Did you have a rumour where if you boiled down and cooked banana skins for long enough,
you can make drugs out of them?
No.
That was like an urban myth at our school.
Was it?
Yeah.
No, no.
What were some of your urban myths at school?
Did you ever do the one where i
don't know if this isn't an urban myth this is a health and safety concern but um where you'd breathe
in and out like 30 times put your hands across no so then you'd go put your someone hit you in
the chest or something someone would press you against the chest until you passed out did you
ever pass out uh i did but then now looking back on it i can't remember if i was just pretending
to fit in.
But did you not have, like,
I have a myth about, like, people who put, like,
well, this did actually happen at our school.
Someone put drawing pins on the bottom of the swimming pool.
No?
Yeah.
Wow.
And then, yeah, things like that.
But how do you, is that a myth, or did you?
No, that actually did happen, thinking about it.
But, like, stories about, like,
yeah, you kick down banana skins, you can make drugs,
or if you went to the,
so I remember some kids at our school going to the shop and buying non-alcoholic lager.
Right.
And then putting sugar sachets in it, saying that that activated the alcohol, you could get pissed.
That kind of stuff.
That is such bullshit, isn't it?
What about, do you remember them little aliens you could get in the little pods?
Yeah.
Do you remember somebody said that if you put two of them in the freezer overnight, they have a baby?
That is ridiculous.
That is ridiculous, man.
My mate reckons
that actually happened.
And people say
they're more backward in Norwich.
So you're happy with the sausage.
What do you think
you could make out of your,
in terms of a sausage
in your house?
Well, I've been
trying to cut down
a little bit on meat.
Not loads.
I love meat.
It's all I eat but um on friday
we made um we had vegetarian hot dogs and i didn't i was eating the hot dog like and it was just like
a normal sausage just a carrot in a in a banana skin and it was um it was actually nice and i
asked i didn't i didn't want to know what was in it until i finished it because it put me off
yeah and apparently it's like tofu and beans and shit like that so i imagine
if i had to make a sausage i'd just get some baked beans mush it up roll it up imagine that
a baked bean hot dog yeah what are you putting in though to keep it in because at the moment
that's just beans isn't it yeah that that is i mean i'll give you a pass on this but i mean
thinking about it just beans beans, roll them up.
Who's rolling up beans?
You're going to have to stay within the realms
of like accepted laws of physics here.
What about if I got some bread
and I rolled it into like a thin bit of bread
and I put that in?
So it's like a bean sandwich.
Have you ever had a bread ball?
No.
You get a slice of bread, you roll it up.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like a really basic pizza express dough ball
that you don't cook and it's just bread.
Yeah, and you have no garlic butter or oil on it.
It's disgusting in every way.
I think I'd only done that when I'm feeding the ducks
and you want to launch one.
Don't give them bread.
What?
It's bad for them.
You should be giving ducks bread.
Really?
No.
I live, there's a river outside my house so i just i i used to
just frisbee bits of bread out of the window no don't give them bread i thought they loved bread
think about it jack before humans come along a duck's eating bread is a duck do you think got
the skills to be able to bake a loaf of bread and then eat it no but i don't think that's never
crossed my mind that's not how i base things like when i feed my, but I don't think, that's never crossed my mind. That's not how I base things.
Like, when I feed my dog ham,
I don't,
I actually know that's completely different,
isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
You shouldn't be giving ducks bread.
You are right.
It's bad for them.
You are right.
Do you think anything
about evolution
has taught them
how to digest bread?
No.
No, exactly.
And I heard that if you give,
have you heard the one
about pigeons and rice?
I don't know if I want to hear it.
Is this horrific?
If you give them rice, apparently they explode. I don't know if I want to hear it. Is this horrific? If you give them rice, apparently they explode.
I don't know if that's true,
because I think just by coincidence,
I would at some point have seen a pigeon explode by then.
I never have.
No, because apparently the rice expands quickly.
It does if you...
Yeah, rice does expand when you cook it.
Yeah, so if you give loads of uncooked rice...
Don't do that either.
Be nice to animals. Yeah, I try to. I thought givingooked rice... Don't do that either. Be nice to animals.
Yeah, I try to.
I thought giving bread to a duck...
Was being nice.
You see that in the movies.
That was in Rosie and Jim once.
That's not a movie.
Talking of bread,
we talk about this on Happy Hour a lot.
I dip my toast in my tea.
Is that weird?
I've never heard of it before.
I knew you did it because i've heard on your show
but i don't know if anyone else has ever done that what did you learn that from your granddad
yeah uh my mom does that actually so sam from set meals who came on this last week yeah he's an
advocate of putting butter in coffee yes because when i dip my buttery because when i say i dip it
in tea i dip it in tea coffee whatever just not hot chocolate that's taking the piss but I'll put like
toast in the coffee
then I drink the coffee
and I swear to God
it's the nicest coffee I've ever had
I think butter gives it a bit of a sheen
and a bit
because you know when you see like
chefs making amazing meals
on like cooking shows
it's basically
a lot of it's just salt and butter right
yeah
it's really rich
really fatty
really salty
yeah
and that's what people like
it's just a nice experience to eat it
yeah
so it's probably something to do with that yeah i've never i would probably not do that though
okay well i know this isn't the the we're not suggesting the homework yet and we've got some
good ones um for next thursday for next week yeah uh for this week yeah yeah yeah um but just as a
little mini one if i can just break the break the laws of the show get Just go and have a try. Go and dip your toast in your coffee
or your tea.
Yeah.
And another little hack,
take your toast out
halfway through,
butter it then,
then put it back in,
carry on the toasting process.
The butter's gone
into the bread.
Lovely.
That's a mind blow, that.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
That's good, that.
I never thought that.
Will it not drip
into the electronics?
I've never
fucked that
the electrics
nah
alright
hello at
lukeandpeach.com
let us know you're
getting all that
toast and tea
bite your toast
halfway through
I'm going to
double check
that's not a
health and safety
thing before
if you've got a
grill
do it on the grill
do it on the grill
yeah but I do it
in the toaster
all the time
did you see as well
somebody turned
their toaster
on the side
put the cheese on you can do cheese on toast in the toaster that's really good as well, somebody turned their toaster on the side, put the cheese on.
You can do cheese on toast in the toaster.
That's really good as well.
Because when I make cheese on toast, I put it under the grill one half, turn it over,
then put the cheese on.
Do you?
Yeah.
Because then you've got the bottom toasted as well.
Right, yeah.
But then the bit under the cheese is not as toasty as the underside.
Tell me about your scrambled egg method, because Sam was very passionate about that last week.
I don't really,
I can't really do scrambled egg.
I just get Fiona to do it.
Anyone can do that.
Anyone can cook scrambled egg.
Not me.
So basically,
your scrambled egg technique
is officially,
my fiance does it for me.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, what do you want me to do?
Talk you through how I make scrambled egg?
Yeah.
Two scrambled eggs,
or three, however many you want. So you whisk whisk them round you put them in a cup yeah bit of milk bit of pepper bit of milk yes that deadens the flavor that's it don't we put
milk in there oh i've got to have words of air then don't put milk in there and then you pour
it into a hot pan full of butter yeah and then you just whisk it until it's ready and you i've
heard that you should always take it off the pan before it's done.
Yeah, because it carries on cooking.
You don't want to over cook it.
Residual heat.
Sam's very passionate about no milk, butter, loads of butter in the pan,
loads of salt and pepper, but fold the eggs.
Don't whisk them.
I've heard you should fold, yeah.
Traps the air or something.
Apparently so, makes them fluffier.
Anyway, what about this from Brad, who's got in touch, saying,
okay guys, hearing the bit today about the man burying his bicycle
he thought was stolen
reminded me of this.
This is an email from last week.
A guy who,
an old fellow thought his bike,
this bike was stolen
so he just buried it in the back garden.
I don't know why.
He says,
no names have been shared
to protect the guilty
but will just say
a relative of one of my relatives
once bought a Chevy Camaro
because he had always wanted
to drive one it didn't matter at all to him that he couldn't afford the car after a few messages
from debt collection for not paying the monthly installments but before the repo man came around
to take the car away he did what any sensible adult would do he took a large excavator and
dug a massive hole in his land out in the middle of nowhere buried the car and then called it in
his stolen to get the whole deal
settled and wiped clean.
I've got some issues
with that.
Well, it's fraud.
Yeah.
It's one of them.
Yeah.
And he can't afford
the repayments
but he can afford
to take out a large
digger.
He must just have
the digger.
Sell that.
Get the car.
Imagine if he's rented that
and can't afford that
so he's got to get
a bigger thing
to bury that.
Like a Russian doll in his back garden.
It's like that YouTube video of the crane trying to pick the thing out of the harbour,
and that goes in the harbour, they get a bigger crane and pull that out.
Where does it end?
Yeah, no, that just seems like you're making a rod for your own back there.
You are.
Don't get the car if you can't afford it.
You're giving yourself more admin.
Yeah.
Aren't you?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I don't.
Also, by the way, if he's's i mean brad hasn't said this but
if the person who's done that has done that to go right once they all go away i'll get it out
again drive it again is it still going to work with that mud in the engine and stuff no that's
going to be quite heavy quite a heavy soilage you've got on the top there yeah have you got
an email jack um i have got an email yes. He says rapidly trying to find one.
Yeah, because they were the two
I was going to choose.
I'm sorry, mate.
I've stitched you up there, haven't I?
That's all right, mate.
It's your show.
I'll start one over for you there, look.
It's one right there.
I'll start it for you.
Can I do hospital beer?
Yeah, cool.
All right, cool.
This is a type of beer
that people like to drink, right?
Yeah.
Hospital beer?
Yeah.
Sounds a bit bleak.
You've probably chatted about this
on previous episodes.
What's your favourite type of beer? I like a sund sundowner gnt i like a end of the day's
work hot day beer yeah i like a shower beer i like a train beer yeah see train beers always make me
feel ill it's the movement yeah it's the movement are you very good at that i'm not suggesting you
have a problem but are you very good at just having the one beer yeah i'm not suggesting you have a problem, but are you very good at just having the one beer? Yeah, I'm not bad at that. Are you a two, three man?
No, I'm quite good.
I can just have one.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Fair enough.
I mean, I'll be honest.
I prefer to have two or three,
but I can't have one.
But you know,
there are certain rules about when you can have beers,
and they go out of the window in certain situations.
One is at a wedding.
Right.
Have a beer at any time at a wedding.
No one's going to say anything.
No.
Because you're there all day anyway.
Yeah.
Airport?
Yeah.
Have a beer whenever you want to. Yeah, that's weird, isn't it?
You can get to Wetherspoons
at like nine in the morning.
Earlier?
Yeah.
I've seen people on stag,
none of them are enjoying it,
but I've seen people on stag weekends
there at four thirty in the morning
having a pint of Guinness.
Yeah.
I'm going on a stag in two months time
and the guy was like,
yeah, we'll meet there at seven,
we'll get a beer down there.
That sounds horrific.
I don't want that.
No, I don't want that.
No one's going to be enjoying that. No.
They're just doing it to keep up appearances. Anyway, do your email.
Sorry, mate. Hospital beer. Amazing.
Hi, chaps. I really enjoyed the chat about all the
different types of beers on last week's episode.
At one point, I think Luke mentioned a hospital beer
and it got me thinking about a particularly wholesome
beer event from a few years back.
I have never mentioned a hospital beer.
It would be hugely disrespectful
to the people I'm visiting in the hospital.
I was working in a local pub in the provincial northeast.
Have I said that word?
Provincial, yeah, that's fine.
Northeast Scottish town of Stonehaven.
I had a request from the daughter of Ernie, a gentleman well into his 80s.
The kind of man who would wear a suit every day and go to the pub for a pint and a half of beer.
A rarer breed of pub
man you don't see as often nowadays yeah you don't do you do you see him in your local pub uh
no no no no no when i worked at bella i was telling you about we had a guy used to come
in all the time he had medals on he was like a war veteran and then one day this taxi driver
come to pick him up and he was like don't believe a fucking word he says he's just bullshit well
first of all i've got alarm bells ringing
because his local pub is a Bella Italia.
Who chooses that as a pub?
He used to just come and sit at the bar every day.
Right.
Stop me from doing my work.
Right, anyway.
Unfortunately, Ernie couldn't make it for his usual evening pint
due to a hospital trip.
Sad.
So had insisted his daughter fill up a flask
with a couple of pints of bitter from the pub.
Canned bottle just wouldn't do it.
Apparently, the nurses in the hospital
had agreed to turn a blind eye
to questioning what was in Ernie's hydro flask.
I'm sure this was technically illegal,
but we gladly obliged
and poured a couple of pints of Belhaven Best
into the flask,
and away she went
to bring it to him in the hospital.
While I'm not sure this is the secret to lasting health,
I can confirm Ernie did make a speedy recovery
and was back on the premises again that summer.
Keep up the good work.
Not sure.
Should the nurses be doing that?
No.
Nah.
I don't know I want to be looked after by a nurse who says,
yeah, I mean, look,
kneel by mouth because you've got your operation tomorrow,
but what, a pint and a half of Belhaven best in the flask?
That's fine.
Yeah.
That's fine.
Let me just check the chart. Yeah, that's fine. Hello, doctor. Isven best in the flask that's fine yeah that's fine let me just check the
chart yeah that's fine
hello doctor is that
all right yeah it's
fine shouldn't be
doing it no I just
don't think the the
idea of a like the
concept of a hospital
beer it shouldn't be
right cancels each
other out doesn't it
well I think if he's
in that's his local
pub and he's in there
every day and he's
going in for a routine
kind of thing he can
have a couple days
off the beer yeah
yeah nothing bad's gonna happen no no have you heard that story about the old lady that um
she she was she was she was dying and um she was i think she was nil by mouth and uh she she'd asked
one of the nurses she'd always have a little nightcap of whiskey and um what because she was
reaching her final moments uh or final days i should say uh she asked the
the nurse if she could have a little bit of whiskey to go to sleep and the nurse was like
sorry i can't do it can't do it like it's illegal if i do it and then went home felt incredibly
guilty so thought fuck it like what else has she got so went to the shop got her got some whiskey
and uh left it by her bedside table and the next morning she come back and uh the woman hadn't
drunk it so she feared the worst and then the morning she'd come back and the woman hadn't drunk it
so she feared the worst
and then the woman woke up
and she went
you haven't drank your whiskey
she went
that's Jack Daniels
it tastes like piss
bless her
very good
on that bombshell
we are going to get out of here
that is Monday's
episode of the Luke and Pete show
me Luke
and Jack
over there
we'll be back on Thursday
with some more good stuff.
We'll set some homework as well.
Thank you very much, Jack.
It's been a pleasure.
Get that Jack Daniels down, yeah?
And we'll see you on Thursday. This was a Stakhanov production.
