welcome back to the luke and pete show here on thursday the 13th of february with me luke moore and me jack may jack mate aka jack dean of jack mates happy hour it's the day before valentine's day but pete has forsaken us yet again. But I'm led to believe he'll be back next week. So look out for that. Jack, did you have a nice time on Monday? I did. I enjoyed it. So much that you've come back.

Always enjoy spending time with you. Thank you. That's really kind of you, Jack. It's because you're like a model pro. You've been in the podcast biz for a number of years now. Yeah. Whereas, obviously, when I do Happy Hour, I'm just out of two buffoons, two absolute clowns i respect about you though jack is you said to me i remember you coming to me and suddenly you want to do a podcast so great let's make it happen and then

you just immediately surround yourself with people who can just do all the admin so you've got fiona does all your bookings you've got stevie who's a lovely fellow who just does all the kind of boring stuff yeah if there's ever a problem in the studio, Stevie's on the phone, it's never you. Jordan drives. Jordan drives you down. I do the bare minimum. Yeah, exactly. You get all the hits. All the plaudits.

Yeah, I know. I know. Well, I bring the talent, Luke. But on Monday, though, I'm going to gloss over that. On Monday, you said, oh, don't take it serious,

the YouTube thing. I just do stuff every so often. Yeah. But you've still got literally over a million a million subscribers yeah how's that even possible uh because i used to take it serious back in the day and then and then as i alluded to on monday it consumed me uh but but my partner's just left a job in retail to work with me now alongside so hopefully 2020 is going to be a year that i pick the game back up as well. As you know, all your shows run smoothly. The schedules, everything.

You never miss a day. I do, quite a lot. Yeah, you miss all the time. But I've promised the Happy Hour listeners that I'm not going to miss an upload this year. So we'll have to see. I said to, but you also WhatsAppped me over the weekend saying, should I carry on doing this? And I was like, yes, you should.

Yeah. As my wife came in and and say can we afford that holiday this year and i said maybe but the thing is i've done some stuff on youtube and it's great stuff yeah but no one watches it why um because i think every man and his dog does it now um and and you you need you need a you need a base layer of subscribers to really push your content through i was coasting for a number of years i was getting when i first got with fiona i need i was getting 30k hits per video and that's what i work i needed to upload twice a week 30k per video in order to to survive on youtube the bare minimum and now i'm lucky enough that i get about half a mil to a mil each one so what's

changed what's changed is that um so so's a snowball effect, isn't it? So if you start now, I find it's much, much harder to grow because you're competing with everybody that's starting now. Whereas I just have this base layer of subscribers back in the day. Just like we did with podcasting early on then. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's just about time and a place.

Literally time and a place. What YouTubers do you hate? I don't like a load of place. What YouTubers do you hate? I don't like, I don't like a load of them. Which ones do I hate? I've mellowed out in recent years. I think Alfie Day's a bit pretentious. Right.

And then just a number of other ones that I've met and they seem to be quite ignorant. You go after the Paul brothers quite a lot. Yeah, Jake and Logan Paul. I met Logan Paul recently in Miami and he was actually very, very self-aware quite ignorant you go after the paul brothers quite a lot uh yeah jake and logan paul i met logan paul recently in miami and he was actually very very self-aware very very lovely disappointing

not really but i've heard that he's quite nice he's quite a business-minded chap but sorry jake the younger one he is a nasty piece of work yeah yeah yeah i was speaking to um somebody close i shouldn't say who but somebody that works within youtube high up and i asked them this is before i met either of them uh what what they thought and they were just like jake is the worst man in the world that's it yeah yeah forget youtube yeah yeah just the worst man in the world but logan's fine so all right but you're um you you're definitely one of the more reasonable normal ones i hope so yeah yeah i hope so i think what a lot of youtubers tend to get is too much money from a too young of an age uh for doing too little work so so they just think that they're the best they they all walk around

like the brad pitts and tom cruises yeah and i think the moment you you start doing that you're just away with the fairies what would a youtuber do for valentine's day tomorrow oh jesus i've got nothing planned what do you reckon like a real youtube thing to do would be though um just vlog vlog the day monetize them moments do you know what i mean like i've i've heard i don't know if this is true or not but i've heard of youtubers like going into hospitals when their grandparents are ill and just vlogging them by the bedside. And then calling it, my grandad's ill, OMG, in brackets. That's awful.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, mate. Some of the stuff YouTubers have done, I could write a book about. You should. Yeah. Maybe I will. YouTube people don't read books, do they?

No. Your audience might read a book, would they? No. Probably can't read. You'd have to write the book, and then do YouTube videos of you reading the book. Reading the book, yes. You're always syncing, you are. I know, mate. I'm always on. Always on. But you've got nothing planned for Valentine's Day book. Reading the book, yes. You're always syncing, you are. I know, mate.

I'm always on. Always on. But you've got nothing planned for Valentine's Day tomorrow? Nothing, no, no. And even worse than that, Luke, it's actually my anniversary. You didn't propose on Valentine's Day, did you? No, no, no. We're not married yet, so we still go by the date we got together.

Right, and that was on Valentine's Day? Yeah, that was when we had our first proper date as kind of like a couple. Are you old romantic? Yeah, that was five years ago um we went and watched 50 shades and then um to get home my granddad picked me up i got in the front she got in the back and um fiona left her thumb in the door so she she closed the door straight onto her thumb ah yeah ended up going home blood pissing, passed out on the floor and ended up up A&E until six in the morning.

Did you YouTube it? No, but that would have been a perfect time to do it. Yeah. Yeah, but no, I didn't. But no. Did her thumb survive? Yeah, but it's still fucked.

I'll show you after. I'll just grab her hand and go, look at this manky thumb. Thanks. What have you been up to this week, Jack? What's been going on? Not much really, mate. Just got back from, as I say, from Miami. Ohky thumb. Thanks. What have you been up to this week, Jack? What's been going on? Not much, really, mate.

Just got back from, as I say, from Miami. Oh, yes. Yeah. Went over to watch my friend, Aniston Gibb, who's another YouTuber, box Jake Paul. Lost in the first round.

Were you disappointed with that? I was disappointed, but I didn't know much about it. I just kind of went, yeah, Aniston's going to win because everyone else was saying it. You got picked up on a lot of news things

for talking about the fight. Pre, pre, previewing it. Yeah. Eddie Hearn was involved. Uh, IFL TV,

a big boxing channel, they picked up on it. Yeah. I don't know. I just turned up to these, to the, to like the press conference and they were like,

Jack, can we get an interview? I don't know anything about boxing. No. So they, they, they, but nor do the boxers do they?

No. That's the thing, isn't it? Yeah, true. Because the boxing. No. So they... But nor do the boxers, do they? No. That's the thing, isn't it? Yeah, true. Because the boxing community's had their nose put out at joint big time. Because I believe last year the biggest down in boxers were Logan and KSI. Yeah, yeah. They would have been for sure, yeah. And Eddie Hearn's getting a lot of stick as well.

For promoting him. Yeah, because I spoke to him over there and I asked him if he'd come on the podcast. And he didn't say it, but he kind of said no. And I got the, I got like an indication that it was because he can't really be surrounding himself

with YouTubers too much because all the boxing faithful are like, what are you doing? He loves a pound note, doesn't he? He does love a pound note. I am going to claim, I've claimed this before I'll claim it again over here

I started the whole YouTube boxing scene go on I had Eddie Hearn on my old podcast Many Moons Ago KSI was just about to box Joe Weller

in a much smaller event at the Copper Box and I showed Eddie Hearn it I was like have you heard about these two YouTubers he was like no what's that

he was like I told him about KSI you can see it on YouTube him watching the clip and then he went is that one ksi and i was like yeah he's like who's doing this who's putting this on so i crack up and i'm like i can see the pound pounds yeah if you pause you actually see the pound coins in his eye yeah and he went that won't catch on that will be a load of shit and then three years later he's hosting the biggest getting back on yeah just do a show that's two seconds long it's you going i told you yeah didn't you come very close to having um jeremy corbyn on your show yeah he was booked he was booked uh for happy hour just before the election yeah and um and he

pulled out six minutes before we were due to start. So that put our noses out a little bit. That's why he lost the election, maybe. Yeah, yeah, no. He pushed him over. Nah, we wouldn't have done it. I don't think we would have had much influence. Nah.

I mean, because young people love him anyway. Yeah, exactly, exactly. It was just, it was weird because his PA was like, we sent over all the questions as you do, and she came back with half of them crossed out. She was like, no, no political questions. It's mental. And then she was like, it's just...

I don't know anything else he does. So what am I going to ask him? What you've done there is you've reduced the leader of the opposition, the leader of Her Majesty's opposition to just a random old bloke. Well, she said, she literally said, word for word, it's just got to be a chat

with Uncle Jez. And she referred to him as Uncle Jez, which was pathetic. And they just pulled out anyway. Pulled out six minutes before. I've got a feeling they're going to ask me

about the election. Yeah. No, apparently he went on the Andrew Neill show. Right. Is it Andrew Neill, Andrew Marr? Yeah.

One of the two. Both. Both, yeah. He went on that pretty much en route to this studio and had a car crash interview I remember that

he had to go back to the office and do what control the damage do nothing yeah he didn't do anything did he

I think his press advisor went what's worse than doing one terrible interview doing two yeah you're not doing that one

yeah but no I think it would have been a good interview I think he'd have had fun. He probably would have. Showing him in a different light. Sitting with his nephews. Yeah.

Yeah, it's possible. I was disappointed that he didn't turn up because I thought it would have been cool because we've had some good names in there and Jeremy would have been another one to have on the roster. Exactly. Jack, I've let you set the homework this week. Yeah.

For our listeners. Yeah. And you gave me a few options and I'm going to choose my favourite two, I've let you set the homework this week. Yeah. For our listeners. Yeah. And I'm going to, you gave me a few options and I'm going to choose my favourite two, I think. Okay. If you don't mind. Yeah. And the two I've chosen is,

this is for everyone's homework, so don't forget, you do go and do the homework, email us hello at lukeandpeachoke.com. We'll read out your results, the best results next week when Pete's back. So the two options that Jack's given me that I've chosen for this week's Homework are, number one,

take two pounds to your local shop and try and get the best value for your money. So two pounds, two pounds only, get in there and make the argument to us by emailing hello at lukeandpeach.com hello at lukeandpeach.com, there's no dirt in there. I should know that by now. And

argue your case for why you've got the best value for money and the next one this is my favourite text your parents and or grandparents and ask them

what they think the worst thing is about you and email in verbatim the thing they said yeah what would your

what would your parents and grandparents say about you the worst thing my gran just calls me a snowflake I broke my wrist in a football game once he called me a snowflake snowflake. I broke my wrist in a football game once. He called me

a snowflake for coming off. I broke my wrist. What was his suggested alternative course of action? Just stay on. Just literally stay on. It's crazy. It was funny the other day because it's the first time he's actually used it to which I agree with.

Our game got called off because of a frozen pitch and he went literal snowflakes does he just say to everything he turns the telly on snowflakes

yeah like the kettle breaks snowflakes yeah he's he is literally he's got two phrases and it's fake news

and snowflakes he's a big pro Trump he likes Trump does like Trump what does he like about him don't know he's just like

oh he's a man of his word isn't he do you know what I mean? Like, salt of the earth guy. He's not. Billionaire. Yeah. What do you think your parents would say about you?

The worst thing about me? I don't know. I literally don't know. I don't know. My dad would probably say I'm irritating. Yeah. I don't know. I can see that.

What would yours say about you? My mum would say that I should call more. Right. For me to get in touch more often, I think. She said that I'm too busy, self-obsessed or something like that. Right. Which is probably true. And my dad would probably say,

you never come down and help me clean rust off an anvil. Basically, I should tell listeners about that. I called my dad a week or so ago, and I was like, how are you doing? He's like, yeah, I'm fine. I said, what are you doing? Because we talk about Pete's dad a lot on this show. Pete's dad's Stuart.

He's a legend. He's very funny. He gets up at one in the morning so he can watch as many box sets as possible before Pete's mum gets up. But it means he gets so tired, he goes to bed at like 4pm. So they live on an alternate shift pattern

in their marriage. See, that would be impressive if he didn't need to go to sleep early then. Do you know what I mean? It's like, oh, you're really utilising the amount of hours in the day there. Pete had an amazing conversation with his dad where Pete said to his dad,

on Christmas Day, you shouldn't be going to bed at 4pm. I heard this on the show. I have to because my knee gets me up at 1. Yeah, yeah. And Pete said, Dad, your knee is not on atomic clock. If you go to bed later, you'll get up later. Yeah, later yeah yeah anyway so i called my dad and there's loads of noise

going on i said what are you doing and he said i'm um i'm cleaning the rust off an anvil why have you got an anvil saturday morning that was he said it weighs a hundred hundred weight which that's like an old-fashioned way i don't know what that is right so i'm cleaning the rust off it i'm gonna spray paint and i'm gonna sell it how much you buy it for eight pounds how much you reckon you can sell it for about 20 quid the amount of work you've put in i know the work itself can be the reward yeah but that's just the most dad thing ever that's another good bit of homework what's the most dad thing your dad's ever done that's very good so my dad would probably say that i'm not like practical enough like i can't do enough stuff in my head because

that's like a generational thing right is your dad quite handy yeah my dad's quite young right that's a very young dad right um so he's still very handy yeah oh yeah yeah he knows all about that but so i was when you then said that i was trying to think what is the most dad thing my dad's ever done because i as i said quite young not not Not your typical kind of like anvil cleaning shed building dad. Yeah. Just once couldn't get his head around the concept of an Uber. So tried to pay the guy. I was like, Dad, I've paid.

How have you paid? I've seen no transactions take place. This cannot be happening. And we cannot rob this man. Yeah, yeah. In the end, I was like, just get out of the car, Dad. He was baffled. But yeah,

no, that's probably the most sad thing. My father-in-law was an amazing dad, for loads of reasons, but one of the most impressive things I've ever seen him do, is we only see them once every so often, because they live in the US. But in between us going there once,

and then going back there again a few months later, he had just, on his own, decided that he wanted a new kitchen, so just did it. Whole new kitchen, floor, it whole new kitchen floor cabinets uh paint building work everything plumbing done that's impressive done it just did it so you've got a new kitchen so yeah how long that take oh you just took me a few weeks did it on your own that's i can't wrap my mind around if someone's put you in a house yeah and secretly filmed you and said, Jack,

we're going to give you all the tools you need and all the equipment you need and you've got to put a kitchen in this house, would you even know where to start? Obviously not.

I said on the last show I can't make scrambled eggs. You can't without a kitchen. Yeah. No. All right. Where would I start? Flooring?

What does that mean though? Don't know. Pull up whatever's in there already. Okay, so I think you're the same as me. We could both destroy a kitchen. Actually, we've got to rip it out first, and that's when it would end. Yeah, I want a brand to try and get in touch

and give us enough money to build a kitchen and see what we come up with. That's wasted money by then. It's wasted money. Yeah, yeah. It's absolutely terrible. All right, let's have a little break in the meantime we're going to research how to fit our own kitchen uh but when

we come back now we're gonna we're gonna read out some of your emails and i'll re-establish the homework at the end of the show as well all right see you in a minute 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. Wow. Yeah.

What, was that from the old EasyJet documentary? Yeah, class, that was. Is it funny when posh people get angry? Of course it's funny when posh people get... It's funny when posh people do anything? Of course it's funny when posh people get angry. It's funny when posh people do anything. I've told this on Happy Hour before, but Fiona's family is quite posh, whereas mine are like scum.

Utter scum. Give an example of how scummy they are. My dad will just turn up to events in joggers and trainers, and it's just like he's a London rapper. It's just like, you're not. London rapper. And it's just like, you're not. Can't even use an Uber. Can't be a rapper

if you can't use an Uber. Yeah. But no, so Fiona's family is very, very quite posh and very innocent. So won't swear.

Yeah. And one day, I'd only been with, I've probably told you this before, but I'd only been with Fiona for a couple of weeks and I barely knew them. I was in their kitchen making a toasty. Wouldn have been scrambled egg would it but um i so the dad come down and the mum went steve how come after every time you

use the computer i can't see that history bit yeah so i was like oh he's been yeah and i swear to god he turned and went oh i don't know all I do is Google Cox I was like what has just happened there Fiona's come through Dad

can you stop referring to Brian Cox as Cox it's just been watching Brian Cox documentaries all I do is Google Cox

what did you do I was just trying not to choke on it you're standing there in the dressing gown eating the toast you're deserving it. I love that. That's brilliant.

Very good. Hello at Luke and Pete show dot com is the email address. I'm going to start off with this one and it's from Ewan who says, and by the way it's interesting because it's about his in-laws and my brother-in-law's actually called Ewan. So I don't think it's about our family but I'll let people

listening be the judge. He says, Your toilet conversation on an earlier episode brought back harrowing memories of my experience of a toilet with a weak flow. Picture the scene. My father-in-law to be his 50th birthday party, my girlfriend of 18 months who's now my fiancé, and I

are at their house along with both close and extended family celebrating, and I'm meeting a lot of them for the first time. They have two toilets toilets in the house one is in a room off the kitchen where everyone is congregating and the other is upstairs so when nature calls in the middle of the evening I head upstairs being a keen bodybuilder at the time it's definitely not my brother-in-law and weighing in at just over a hundred kilos my diet mostly consisted of meat starchy carbs and fibrous vegetables without being too graphic let's just say the toilet came out second best and I saw the My diet mostly consisted of meat, starchy carbs, and fibrous vegetables. Without being too graphic, let's just say the toilet came out second best,

and I saw the heart-sinking sight of rising toilet water after flushing. That's not what you want, is it? No. That's not what you want. Unfortunately, it stopped and receded before it spilled over the top, but after a couple more risky flushes, it was definitely blocked. There was no toilet brush, no rubber gloves, and so one option was to go downstairs and grab the toilet brush from downstairs toilet

and carry it through the busy kitchen upstairs, risking not only being seen, but also the chance that someone could go upstairs into the toilet before I got back and see the damage. That was not happening. So in a panic, I rolled up my sleeves and proceeded to try and barehanded unclog it. Both fortunately and unfortunately for me,

the blockage was just too far down the U-bend for me to get a hand to it. After five minutes of rigorous washing of my hands and forearms, I had to admit defeat and call my girlfriend, who retrieves the toilet brush from downstairs. To this day, I don't know if any of her family knew, but we get married this year,

and I'm sure it'll be the cornerstone of her dad's speech if he does. Keep up your strong flow, Ewan. What would you do in that situation? That was far too graphic for me, that. I don't know

because I'm very, very prudish about stuff like this. Like, toilet humour is not my bag. I don't like it. I won't fart in front of Fiona.

I just don't like it. And I, with my ex-partner once, we went on holiday to Gran Canaria and I went to the toilet, had a number two. Should have checked.

No toilet paper. Ah. So I'm shitting myself, right? And then... Again. And then, the toilet was not connected to the thing. Right.

So I pressed the flusher. Nothing happened. Nothing's happening. Right. So there's just that in the toilet. What do you do? I had to flusher. Nothing happens. Nothing's happening. Right. So there's just that in the toilet. What do you do? I have to get hotel staff. What did she know about it?

I had to come out and just go, look, sit down, brace yourself. What do you think I've been doing in there? Yeah. So in that situation, as graphic as it is, I think I would do the same thing as that man did. I'd put my hand up there,

try and sort out anything to not let another human know that I've had a normal bodily function and that's a very British thing isn't it yeah it's normal bodily function

but yeah everyone does it yeah if I accidentally fart in front of Fiona yeah I go red in the face

I'm embarrassed by it you're engaged to be married yeah I know she's got a lifetime of this to look forward to yeah my dad

when he was with my mum for 20 years he never farted in front of her wow he's had a new partner for to look forward to. Yeah. My dad, when he was with my mum for 20 years, he never farted in front of her. Wow. He's had a new partner for five years. He does it all the time. And he's joggers.

Gets trapped. Horrible. Classic. All right. Have you got an email, Jack? Do you want me to do another one? Yeah, I've got one called a bad news beer. Yeah, do that one.

All right, cool. Whilst living in a student house in Manchester, me and a mate kept a beer and bad news box in the living room, essentially one of those camping fridges that seemed to be a popular Christmas gift back in the early 2000s. The beer in the bad news box was always to contain a small stock of cheap beers. Then, whenever the inevitable bill, court summons, letter from uni arrived at the house, it was a one-in, one-out system where you would trade the offending letter

for a nice, cold, shit lager. Once you've taken an ignorance beer, you are not allowed to retrieve the letter and the other housemate would later dispose of it in order to give you peace of mind. Them's the kind of rules that probably explain why 15 years later, I still have a shit credit rating. Might not have been the most mature way of dealing with life but my god those beers always tasted so good cheers guys dave i don't know if i could relax i couldn't you couldn't do that no no no no it's just gonna be lingering

over you isn't it so they basically exchange their bad news for a beer yeah when they have the beer they never think about that again how can you do that they're not even opening the letter yeah anything how can you that's a good way to avoid news just don't open the letter i i i have to know i have to know i want those people has to know do you if i get a bit of news through the post or on an email i'm straight on it are you i can't leave it see i i sometimes get email from my my estate agents on behalf of the landlord yeah we're not opening them no they call you if they need anything yeah yeah but you don't answer the phone either really no i'm not a phone person no i mean basically you definitely still live in that same place because they've got no way of getting hold of you yeah no i've i've i've fell out with them once though

because um i don't know if it's going a bit off piste but one time i remember the game i just i've just been to see do you remember that film Insidious? I do remember but I've not seen it. Sorry, not Insidious Paranormal Activity. I have seen it. Do you remember that random one where at the end all the old people just come and they're like zombies but like ghosts. I swear to

God, I swear to God, I watched that. The next day, I'm doing a deep clean in the house because we was doing an inspection I'd got the date wrong. So this is like the 16th i thought i basically thought the inspection was a day after i was cleaning the house i'm cleaning the whole house i probably not replied to emails or phone phone calls and that and uh i was playing catfish and the bottle men loud on the on the alexa boom like playing it well loud i turned round this woman from the estate agents is there, this old lady in my face. I swear to God, I went, fuck off, you cunts!

Did you? Yeah, in her face. Sorry for my language. In her face. I've never been more scared in my life. I then emailed her and said, I do not appreciate you coming into my property unaware. And then I realised that we'd planned it.

So that's why I don't like emailing. I'm sorry if that was insensitive. It's quite a niche thing to happen. Yeah. How does she react? I don't know. Because when I get scared, I act in anger. You know when people go, fuck, yeah.

Like the Declan Rice video. Yeah. And because I was so embarrassed at my reaction, I projected that embarrassment onto them it was like you should not be entering my property

blah blah blah but what was her actual reaction right at the time oh at the time I don't remember I just remember because I I can't remember

because I was so embarrassed so I shut down you've blocked out yeah I can't remember but you're still in the same place barely but yeah

it can't be too bad then no that's fucking strange it's a strange situation to happen. It was a day or two after watching Paranormal Activity. Yeah, it's not great. I thought it was a goner. What about this from Jason?

This is a reply to a piece of homework. Things you found in the garden. This is quite a good one. He says, good morning, guys. Hope this finds you well. I've been an avid listener since day one and now a second time questioner. So I've got got 100 success rate so

far please don't let me down you can jason you can maintain that 100 record officially now so i'm getting in touch regarding uh two of the homework assignments set on the show recently firstly i collect board games and luke's mention of crossbows and catapults has prompted me to dust off my original copy this weekend to play with my two-and-a-half-year-old son. Do you remember Crossbows and Catapults? No. It's this cool game where it's like a board game and you set up a castle with these little plastic blocks. Oh, okay.

And then you get either a crossbow or a catapult with these little tokens. You have to knock the other person's castle down. I can visualize that. It's wicked. Yeah. It's really good. Anyway, he said,

my two-and-a- and a half year old son, I'm on the night aspersions that he'll want to actually play the game. But like Luke, we'll know that relish the opportunity to launch plastic discs at the family pets because he hasn't got a sister yet. I used to ping my sister with him basically.

That's what I can say. Right. He said, the second piece of homework is where I think I'll pique your interest. Like Luke, I'm originally from the South Coast and I grew up and spent all of my teenage years

in a small village called Sway in the New Forest. My parents were lucky enough to own a house that included a six-acre field and stables connected to the property. Trust me, living in the South Coast

is where our similarities end, Jason. I did not have a six-acre field or stables. The house we lived in, I believe, was Victorian and was originally the old coach house for the nearby manor house. It was upon

being roped into renovating the stables on a hot summer's day with my parents and brother that we discovered a concrete block lined square pit in the garden about three meters by three meters wide filled with earth general debris and more empty gin rum and whiskey bottles that you've ever seen these were of varying sizes colors and styles were brutally beautifully crafted and we managed to salvage some of them and they still reside on my mom's kitchen windowsill our curiosity peaked we dug further and what we discovered was truly amazing the pit went deeper and deeper until it seemed to turn a corner tunneling further underground supported by wooden frames positioned a meter or so apart at this point and because it was unstable we gave up

on the task. Since the initial discovery, and through speaking with friends and experts in historical knowledge of the area, we soon discovered this was in fact a smuggling slash escape tunnel heading all the way from our stable block to the coast in nearby Limington, and it could have also potentially been used

during the First and Second World Wars. We never did uncover more of what lies beneath or where the tunnel ended, but I've played out several scenarios in my head over the years as to the uses and history of this amazing find. Hopefully you'll find this of interest. Jason. He found a secret tunnel in his own garden.

That's well cool. That's good, right? Could have been the one that Hitler used to get away. Be a bit out of the way, wouldn't it? I mean, yeah. Yeah. Where is he? He's in the New Forest.

Did no see that one coming. Amazing. No, that is well cool. It's really good. Yeah, what is he? He's in the new forest. I did not see that one coming. Amazing. No, that is well cool. It's really good. Yeah, what's the weirdest thing you've found? Nah, I don't think I've found anything really in my gardens over the years. Nah, I can't really think of anything. I, um, we, we, at my mum's house where I grew up, we had an alleyway at the back, a communal

alleyway. Yeah, we had that as well. Yeah. And then at the bottom of that was kind of like a patch of grass um loads of nettles and stuff and once i was playing there with my friends and i found a pound coin i thought that's amazing a pound coin not a great story on its own but we carried on looking another pound coin carried on looking another pound coin must have been about 30 pound coins two pound coins what the hell's going on and then that patch of grass had the back of a shop facing it

and a few days before then some guy had come in grabbed the till pulled the whole till out and obviously ran that way took all the notes out and stuff and I'd found all the all the pound coins

did you get to keep them? I think I did keep them yeah you didn't report it basically well as I said in the last show Luke I'm good at picking locks mate exactly yeah there's no way I'm else loving them did you have to do what they do, basically. Well, as I said in the last show, Luke, I'm good at picking locks, mate. Exactly, yeah. There's no way anyone else is doing them.

You have to do what they do in the Goodfellas where they can't spend the money because people will know they're thieves there. So when the woman turns up with the mink coat, he goes, mental, what are you doing? You're calling attention to ourselves. I've just got 31 dirty pound coins. So Farron is going, you've got a lot of pound coins there.

You've got to spend them wisely. I had to start my own laundromat just to fill it through. Yeah, that's why people said, that's why you suggested two pounds to your local shop and get the best value for your money earlier. Yeah. Do you remember what you spent them on?

I can't remember. Stickers? Yeah, it'd probably be football cards. Yeah. Is that your thing? I love football cards. I've completed so many albums. Did you have Pro Set cards?

No. They were called Pro Set when I was a kid. Shoot out. Okay. Pro Set, you used to get like a folder with little plastic sleeves that you put in. Yeah, yeah,

we still do that, Luke. Yeah, still do that. My dad might have collected them because my dad's handed me down. That's a dig. F***ing hell. Not that old. But my dad's a young dad.

I said that. How old is he? 50. Okay. And you're what, 27? Yeah, 27. Yeah. Yeah.

So he's quite a young dad. Yeah, he's quite a young dad. He's only 11 years older than me. Yeah, exactly. That's impressive. So you could collect the same football card. Next time I'm only a guest host on the show, I should get your dad in.
