The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 70: The class of '99

Episode Date: June 7, 2018

As promised, this episode starts with Pete taking a science quiz, with actually quite impressive results, there’s talk of tattoos and the role they now play in society, and we learn actually pretty quickly that Pete doesn’t know the story of a really well known film that won three Oscars. For your part dear listener, you excel yourselves yet again with your tales of intellectual property theft, and what’s more, you don’t even seem that sorry. Oh and one final thing, be kind to your knees. You’ll miss them when they’re gone. Talk to us: [e-mail] ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

oh hello everybody we're back we're back we're septogenarians episode 70 episode 70 my name is raheem sterling and i've just got a new tattoo of a gun. Yeah. Fear me. I mean, you probably have got a tattoo of a gun, have you? I've got a tattoo of all kinds of nonsense, mate. Yeah, I know. Cat in the hat.

More problematic in many ways. Mine infringes on many copyrights. Do you think that people, after they get a certain amount of tattoos... I'm Luke, by the way, and this is my friend Peter. Hi. When people get enough tattoos... Nuff tats. Nuff tats, bruv. when people get enough tattoos enough tats just enough tats bro do you think

they um when people get bare tattoos do you think they forget the ones they've got uh yeah so if i said to you now don't look at your body right give me a list write it down every tattoo you've got do you reckon you get all of them and where they are and what they look like uh yeah i've only got six okay so it's easy okay but someone's got the whole body done easy peas yeah oh yeah i wouldn't know what yeah i wouldn't know where to start. Is it me being old? Let me just put you through a little scenario that I saw on the tube the other day.

Is this me being old, or do you think this is fair enough? I know you're sort of similar age to me, but you're much more down with the kids than I am. I saw a guy on the tube add tattoos all over his body, but he also had like some quite prominent tattoos on his forehead and temples and on his chin

right and I'm thinking hmm is that I mean is that a bit much bad boy bad boy for life is he going to want those tattoos

I know I sound like a dad but is he going to want those tattoos in 10 years it doesn't matter I mean like he just it becomes part of the furniture isn't it

it's like having a tongue ring or a tongue stud put on your face yeah I think well you know if becomes part of the furniture, doesn't it? It's like having a tongue ring or a tongue stud. But on your face. Yeah, well, you know, if that's you, that's you, isn't it? I think you'd have to go somewhere to find people who don't have bloody tattoos. Well, listen, Donny, hashtag no judgement. If you are listening and you've got a tattoo on your face or head, I want to hear about it.

I want to hear about your thinking. Hello at LukeandPetra.com because it's something that fascinates me because to me it looks like that is a bit too much. I think tattoos have gotten a lot better. You don't get the scratch artists that you used to get in the 80s where bloke should just come out of the Navy and go, yeah, I'm a tattoo artist.

I'll draw you a porky pig and put it on your leg. My dad's got one he did himself. That's pretty cool. I do find the art of people who create vintage tattoo machines. There's some beautiful pieces of machinery, like proper kind of bronze, chrome kind of creations. I'd love to own one, but, I mean,

it would end in me tattooing my own leg and getting sepsis or something. Yeah, right. I think tattoos just used to be sailors and murderers. And that is everyone. Nothing in between. And that is everyone. Nothing in between. And that was everyone. I always thought a letter should get me like, my dad's got a couple of shit sailor tattoos on his leg.

I should just get them reproduced. My granddad's got a proper old school one on his forearm, which is like a swirling banner with loads of stuff around it. It says mum and dad on it. Nice. I think he had that when he was in the army. I think we spoke about my dad's before, but he did have

Christine written on his leg luckily it's my mum's name yeah it's a good coincidence that he searched high and low for a woman called Christine that he liked and he eventually found one

he exclusively goes out with Christine's and you know we talked about her last week when how they met you did talk about her last week

or last episode Pete so last episode I promised the listeners they didn't ask for it but but I promised them it anyway, that I would take you through a very basic, but very revealing, I think, science quiz. And I'm going to do that now. The reason I'm going to do it is because every couple of years,

apparently the National Science Foundation reports back to the President of the United States about how the country's doing in regards to science and engineering. Now, while I may venture the current sitting President of the United States probably has little interest in this, it's a tradition that nonetheless continues every couple of years.

So the idea is that they do a survey of, I think it might actually be done sort of around the world and each one reports back to their relative science departments or whatever. And what we can then do is work out, it might actually be done sort of around the world and each one reports back to their relative science departments or whatever. Right. Um, and, um,

we can, what we can then do is work out on average, um, how different countries are doing on basic science compared to other countries. So, uh, the list I've got here, the countries that do it, United States,

Canada, China, the EU, India, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea.

Um, and it's quick, it's just quickly, I think it's 10 true or false questions. Okay. And I've got nine out of 10. I said last time, it's not that hard. think it's 10 true or false questions. Okay. And I got nine out of 10, I said last time. It's not that hard.

I'm not trying to show off, but I'm interested to see what your science knowledge is like. Are you up for the challenge? Is there going to be any things about planets? Because I have no interest in planets. Well, you're going to have to just take the questions as they come.

I don't know. All right, yeah, fine. You don't know? I can't remember. I did it ages ago. I mean, I'm taking this on, you know, bearing in mind, like, we've all got an ego. I can't remember. I read it ages ago. I mean, I'm taking this on, you know, bearing in mind, like, we've all got an ego.

I'm taking this on, you know, understood that you're saying that you've got 9 out of 10. I have no proof on this. True, you have to trust me. I just have to trust you. But these are very basic.

It's not like, oh, what's the, you know, what's the half-life of some uranium particle? It's not like that. Some uranium, I'd hope they were a bit more specific.

Exactly. I have any scientific knowledge, so I can't give you an example of a hard science question. All right. They're all easy. Do you want some music for this? Yeah, go for it. Give me a bed.

Let's have a bit of this. Question one. Right. True or false? Yeah. The centre of the Earth is very hot. True. I reckon I'll do all right in this, then. True. True or false? Yeah. The centre of the Earth is very hot. True. I reckon I'll do all right in this then.

True. The correct answer is true. Scientists estimate the Earth's core is more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. You're one out of one. That's just the question Master's showing off though, isn't it? 86% of the European Union got that right. Right. Question two.

Madness. So I'm using this from a science blog, which I read quite a lot. It's very interesting. So all the facts and figures are coming from there. I should say that. Question two. So I'm using this from a science blog, which I read quite a lot. It's very interesting. So all the facts and figures are coming from there. I should say that. Question two. True or false? The continents have been moving their location

for millions of years and will continue to move. True. Correct, Donaldson. Wow. Are you going to give me music or not? I'll just get music for the start. Is that it? It's quite a short bed, I just realised.

Two out of two. 87% of the EU got that correct. Why is it always around 86, 87? Well, we'll see. The next one isn't actually. Question three.

This is mad. Which is correct? A. The Earth goes around the Sun or B. The Sun goes around the Earth? The Earth goes around the Sun. So you're going for A?

Yeah. The correct answer is A. Yeah. Okay. Only 66% of the European Union got that correct. But I think with stuff like that, you second guess yourself, don't you? And you're sort of like... Is it a trick? And especially, because these questions they look like they're quite easy, you're going to

make a fool of yourself if you get any wrong. Alright, cool. Question four. True or false. All radioactivity is man-made. Incorrect. Jesus. False.

Natural radiation is everywhere, especially in space. 59% of the European, you got that right. Question five. True or false. Electrons are smaller than atoms. Yes. Correct. True. Five out of five, Donaldson. Only 46% of the EU got than atoms. Yes. Correct. True.

Five out of five, Donaldson. Only 46% of the year you got that right. Tougher one, that one, apparently, according to them. Question six. True or false. Lasers work by focusing sound waves. Incorrect. It's incorrect.

False. Lasers concentrate light waves, not sound waves. Mate, you're 100% so far. I mean, it's a real humdinger of a quiz, isn't it? Question seven, true or false, the universe began with a huge explosion. Correct then, yeah? True, yeah.

Best guess so far, so they're giving that true. This is the one I didn't get right, okay? You got a 50-50 chance. True or false, it is the father's gene that decides whether the baby is a boy or a girl. It is the father's gene. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's 50% false.

I would say false. It's true. Is it? Wow. Sex is determined by two chromosomes and sperm carries one of them, either an X chromosome or a Y. Whichever sperm makes it the X first to join the next chromosome is the mother's egg

in the mother's egg term is the baby sex so XX is a girl and XY is a boy I knew that bit but the rest of it no so we've got two more left

and I hope people are playing along at home and they can tell us how well they did question nine true or false antibiotics kill viruses and bacteria

incorrect not bacteria surely false yes antibiotics only kill bacteria not viruses sorry I mean not viruses yeah kill viruses and bacteria? Incorrect. Not bacteria, surely. False, yes. Antibiotics only kill bacteria, not viruses. Sorry, I mean not viruses. I'll give it to you anyway. True or false,

human beings, as we know them today, this is the final question, human beings, as we know them today, developed from an earlier species of animal. Correct.

Correct, true. Fossils in the ground and genetic studies have shown again and again that evolution not only gave rise to species like humans, but will continue to shape the forms of our descendants. You got nine out of ten, true. Fossils in the ground and genetic studies have shown again and again that evolution not only gave rise to species like humans, but will continue to shape the forms of our descendants. You got nine out of ten, Peter.

What? On average, the EU got 70%. It's loud, isn't it? On average, the EU got 70% or seven out of ten, so you are brainier on science than the average EU citizen. Brainier than the EUs, and that's why we're leaving the EU. Fuck them. And sad news for those Americans listening,

52% they got. That's shoddy, isn't it And sad news for those Americans listening, 52% they got. That's shoddy, isn't it? That is very low. I wonder which ones they got. Yeah, but then it's a much more by belief. And also science. Could be a dogmatic reason for that.

Pete, also science changes by country. So it's different. It's a different country. So if you're in the US, the Earth doesn't go around the sun. No, exactly. And if you're in Russia, it doesn't either.

So it's different. There you you go i thought that was an excellent quiz pete you did very well excellent quiz very proud of you yeah thanks mate no worries um should we um i'm not sure how long we've been recording for but should we have a little break and then come back and do some emails all right then just imagine that that was a inter-break and we're coming out of the break now. We're back on the Luke and Pete show. I don't know what's happening here, but I'll just follow your lead. You were concentrating on drinking out of your Nalgene bottle

that you found. And if you are listening, Nalgene, do send me a new one. I've had this one for ages. Yeah, it's looking pretty shoddy, to be honest, but it's maintained. But don't you like it? It looks like I've been adventuring up mountains. No, it doesn looking pretty shoddy to be honest, but it's maintained. But don't you like it? It looks like I've been adventuring up mountains.

No, it doesn't. It's maintained. It looks like the sort of bottle you'd see in a veterinary surgery. What, on like a hamster cage like

that? Yeah, I was like don't you need a little ball? A little ball in a tube. A metal straw. A little ball in a

metal straw. It's time for your emails. My personal highlight of the show. Hamsters love to give them up. Why? Bloody straws, innit, mate?

That's just re-use of the metal. What are you talking about? Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com to get in touch. The following emails you will hear are all from people who have emailed us at hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. Nothing is off limits within reason. Just give us an email. Let us know how you're doing. Respond to something

we've talked about bring something new up we don't mind um i'd like to start with this pete and i'm going to attempt to play a bit of music down the mic if you don't mind okay um this is from tom tom lindsey now when you compile the emails well it's your turn to do it i write little headlines um above each email just to give me a reminder of what they're about and for this one all i've put is this is unreal right okay um this is from tom lindsey and he said i'm catching up on episode 63 before bed and your mention of tragic boy bands has woken me right up with the thought of this clip someone showed me a while back mate this is so good do you want this uh down down the uh down the old play out system rather than you playing on your your laptop? Sure, how do I do that? I'll do it myself, to be honest.

Okay, right. So it's the band O-Town singing their debut single. Now, do you remember O-Town? You sort of should. It was after the Backstreet Boys, after NSYNC, when you kind of thought that the big American boy bands had run their course effectively. So they were like a turn-of-the-century boy band, weren't they? And what happens with these things,

they are sort of tremendously dated, but I believe they were part of a reality TV series called Making the Band. And that was in 2000. So similar to what we had over here, Popstars or whatever, but that was in 2000. So this clip is from them singing their debut single

and number three hit in the UK, Liquid Dreams, live on Miss America 2000. So, it's very early on in their career is my point. And their earpieces drop out at the start of their performance, leaving them helpless but to sing in five different keys. Needless to say,

the result is awkward and hilarious. And Tom, who sent the email in, saying go to 1 minute 11 on the clip if you can because that's the best bit. So maybe just go to a minute or whatever. And he says apologies to fellow loyal listeners' ears if you use this on the show. Keep up the good work, Tom Lindsay.

Here we go. It's in the dark Under the city Sees beauty more Then it comes to the best Well, Tyra's the best Oh, no. The thing is, they can clearly sing. They're carrying notes. Yeah, of course. One of them's got a Welsh dragon on his shirt,

which I quite enjoy. Crazy. Crazy. Right, I think that's enough of that. Right, so I think, what that reminds me of is those spoof YouTube or Facebook videos where people would overdub

really out of tune vocals on U2 songs and stuff. But that's actually real. And it's actually one of those things that's quite cringy and quite difficult to listen to. Because, you know, I'm not comparing it,

but you and I have been up on stage doing stuff. Singing. Not singing. But in front of a decent amount of people when stuff has gone slightly wrong. And it is horrendous. It is horrendous. And they must know what's happening. And this is their big break, right?

Is it on Miss America? So I remember being on stage, Pete, with you in Glasgow. Where we're doing a live football ramble show which is our other podcast

I'm sure everyone listening will know about it if not check it out and we got to the point where you would do this

choose your own adventure type game show with Kevin Keegan and there's only four of us set up on stage in front of a

load of absolutely battered, pissed up Glaswegians. And you had already come on stage with a half Rangers, half Celtics shirt, which had gone down well, but was a gamble.

And I imagine there's some people in there who are a bit pissed off about it. And you forgot to print out the right stuff for your game. I didn't. I printed out a thing. But it was the wrong thing. But this is the set piece thing that ends the show.

Yeah. I'll run down to the thing. Then I remembered that somebody had locked the dressing room, so I couldn't actually access the thing I needed to access anyway. It's not that I forgot. I just printed out the wrong thing. It was a run of a few shows,

and if you print out the wrong document, it still looks like the same document. It's still got the wrong thing. Yeah. Word document. If you do, it was a run of a few shows, and if you print out the wrong document, it still looks like the same document. It's still got the same title. That's the problem, man. When people come to me and say, what's it like to work with Pete? Do you know what I say? What?

He needs people around him. No. You're not having that. Check out this dog. You cannot keep interrupting. This is a dog. No, no, no. I'm having a conversation.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. dog. No, no, no. I'm having a conversation right now. Walter, I'm right here, baby. Sounds like Mongolian throat singing. It does. It sounds like Return to Innocence by Enigma. It does a bit. I used to love that song. I used to love it.

Can I just say Liquid Dreams by O-Town, going back to that, it's a good tune as well. It does a bit. I used to love that song. I used to love it. Can I just say, Liquid Dreams by O-Town, going back to that, it's a good tune as well. It's a good tune. They didn't need to ruin it. They did not need to ruin it. But listen,

Enigma, Return to Innocence, what was the other one they did? Return to Innocence. I can't remember. They also did one, Pete, tell me if you remember this one. You're going to have to meet me

halfway in, because I can only remember a fragment of it. It went, SARS, don't want. That was them as well, wasn't it? Really? I don't know.

Dario G, Sunshine. Named after the ill-fated ill-fated? Be careful. The recently maligned Dario Gradi. A fact I can no longer say on the radio because of that. Do you want a quick mankata before we chip off?

Yeah, I don't chip off? Can we? Yeah, I don't mind one. All right. Can we do... Yeah, let's have a Mankata. Let's have a Mankata. Yeah, all right. Well, when I switch to YouTube to get the singing dog.

And I think before we do that, I think what we should do is say to people, if you have got stuff that's audially funny, send it in and we'll play it. We'll listen to it and play it out because it's fun for people to hear. I think it's fun for people to hear. That's arrogant.

Might not be. It's fun for people to hear, as in not hear from us the whole time. Okay. For an unbroken hour or whatever it is normally. Look and face your, the unbroken hour

or whatever it is. Right. Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. And one more thing. say simply very simply with hope good morning hi uh men carter um uh the gentleman by the name of Perrin, Perrin from Canada, has got in touch. A little bit rude in the way that he's briefed this particular, or preceded this email. Howdy ho, dickheads.

You're called Perrin, mate. You have a bit of self-awareness. Why not, mate? He also sends the email saying, Perrin from Canada, love Perrin from Canada, put me on your damn podcast. Rude. I thought Canadians were all very Canada. Love Perrin from Canada. Put me on your damn podcast. Rude! I thought Canadians were all very polite. Canada, America's hat.

How do you do, kids? I was just in the UK for a few weeks and came... That's probably why it's been so rude, to be honest. And I came from... Picked up some bad habits, mate. Yeah, I came from Canada, surrounded by apple orchards. That's where I am from. And I could have brought you some fresh from last fall apples,

had I known, but he didn't. Anyway, I'm corresponding to tell you a story about a man. The list they're talking about, old Mike Malloy, reminded me of this. This is a story you've likely heard a version of before, but this tough prick had a crazy enough story that it needs to be told. His name was Hugh.

He was born in 1783 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Is that the Scranton at the paper company? Dunder Mifflin? Dundamiflin. Dundamiflin. In 1816, while working as a trapper near the Texas coast, he was captured by pirates and forced to live and work as a pirate for nearly two years, going around the Gulf of Mexico stealing shit. I love the informal way he's written this.

One day, when a few miles off the coast, he jumped off the ship and swam to shore, escaping the pirate life and moving inland, where he was captured by Pawnee Indians. He won over his new overlords and lived with them for two more years. In 1823, Hugh and a group of Pawnee walked to St. Louis where he joined an expedition to go

fur trapping up the Missouri River. I really liked St. Louis. It was good. The big arch was very enjoyable. Not long after, Arakara Indian warriors attacked the crew and Hugh was shot in the leg. They retreated to the nearest fort only after killing a metric buckton of Indians in

retaliation. They set off again up the Yellowstone River where Hugh stumbled upon a grizzly bear with two cubs and a serious attitude problem. Hugh managed to kill the bear but not before being savagely mauled by her. His head, leg, arms, but not before being savagely mauled by her. His head, leg, arms, chest and back were torn to pieces.

He couldn't maintain consciousness for any real period of time. The rest of his trapping party carried his broken, mangled ass for two days before deciding, finally, that he was nearly literally dead weight. Two men stood behind to bury him after he finally died while the rest of the crew continued.

The two men, Fitzgerald and Bridges, got fed up with waiting after two or three days with Hugh refusing to kick the bucket and eventually left him alive on the ground with no supplies and near death and reported back to their crew lying and saying that he died. Several days later, Hugh regained consciousness and found himself alone with no rifle, no knife, no supplies. What he did have, though, was a broken leg, festering rotten wounds all over, including a gash in his back and a side deep enough to show his ribs.

After setting the bone in his own leg, Hugh wrapped himself in the bear hide that had been left behind and started to crawl to the nearest American settlement, which is more than 200 miles away. By crawling and then making a crappy raft to float downriver, Hugh made it to the fort six weeks later, surviving on roots and berries and allowing maggots to eat his rotting wounds to prevent gangrene. Good on him. Good old Hugh eventually recovered from his injuries and then went on to try and find the tool bags that abandoned him. The dude holds a grudge. Travelling by foot and by raft

for hundreds and hundreds of miles, he eventually was reunited with his old crew who must have been surprised as he was dead as far as they knew. He worked on trapping missions with these folks, including one where they met a friendly tribe of Aikara Indians who turned out to be lying assholes.

They killed two of the men in the party and stole all of their possessions. Hugh hid behind some rocks and had to survive off the land with nothing but his knife and a chunk of flint, making his way several hundred miles back to the nearest fort, which took about two months. Sometime after, Hugh got wind of the whereabouts of Fitzgerald

who wanted to kick the crap out of and more specifically kill. One problem, Fitzgerald joined the army. Hugh confronted Fitzy and basically walked up to the army's commanding officer and said, I'm going to kill this guy. To which the officer informed him that he would have to kill Hugh if he killed an enlisted man and all the rest. Basically, Fitzgerald lived, but he did have to give Hugh his rifle back, and Hugh was given $300 by the army as compensation to buy new gear.

Hugh told Fitzy to stay in the army forever, or else he would cut his head off. Hugh continued to trap and just mess around in the wilderness until 1833, when it was assumed that he and two fellow trappers were murdered by Arakaras and never seen again. I wrote this email while walking only four miles home from work while being attacked by mosquitoes and I feel like I'm going to die. I can't imagine going 200 miles with a broken leg being attacked by Indians and bears. Hugh is the shit and deserves to be

portrayed by a way tougher looking actor than Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant. Hugh Glass, the man that refused to die until at one time he actually died. Yeah, when I was hearing this story, which is a fantastic one, I was thinking to myself, this sounds a lot like The Revenant. Yeah. And it is.

Oh, it is The Revenant. It's the actual story. Yeah, I only got the end of that. So those of you who have seen the film will have learnt nothing new there. Well, what are you going to do? But if you haven't, I hope you bloody enjoyed it. Now, Pete. They've learnt a different way to say Native Americans.

I believe Hugh deserves to be in Mankata, so I'm happy with that. Yeah. I want to break with tradition because there is... I've never seen The Revenant, so I don't know. Okay. Well, I think that much has become clear. Right, okay. I want to break with tradition and go back very, very quickly

to an email we forgot to do. Okay? Okay. We should do it. Right. It's from a guy called Eddie O'Grady. Eddie O'Grady! I mean, if that is your real name, Eddie, then fair enough.

But I have my doubts but it doesn't matter he says uh hi boys luke's recent retelling of the time he blagged a music lesson by changing the words from sweet child of mine to winter blues in episode 64 do you remember that pete yes reminded me of a similar experience i had in my final year of high school the year was 1999 and as we were soon to be leaving a few of us decided to put together a newspaper reminiscing on our last five years to distribute to our year mates. They love all that stuff, don't they, America?

Was it year books and all that kind of stuff? Halfway through this process, we found out we were short of content and needed some filler. At this time, Baz Luhrmann had just released his spoken word song, Everyone is Free to Wear Sunscreen. You remember that?

Oh, good Lord. You can't pass that off. You may recall the opening line, well, this is brilliant. You know what you want to get with this. You may recall? Oh, good lord. You can't pass that off. You may recall the opening line of... Well, this is brilliant. You'll get with this. You may recall that the opening line of which was, Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 99. It seemed apt for the newspaper, so I wrote the lyrics down on PC, but made the mistake of finishing

the document with my name. That old chestnut, Eddie. Yeah, whatever, mate. The following day, having handed the lyrics to our English teacher slash editor, I was in my form room and she interrupted the register and asked me to come with her. She sat me down and started by telling me my poem was one of the most profound things she'd ever read

while literally wiping tears from her eyes. That was a time I probably should have confessed. She pleaded with me to enter it into a national poetry competition, to send it to the local paper, and even asked whether it could be reproduced and distributed to other local schools. I relented, saying that as the piece was so personal to me, I didn't want the attention. Yeah, you should have confessed.

She bought this, and so she bought this, and I breathed a sigh of relief that my blag had been successful. Fast forward to two weeks later at our leavers' assembly, and the teacher surprised me in front of the entire school and asked me to get on the stage. She introduced me and told the group

that I had some words of advice for the year. I was then forced to read the poem or song in full to a puzzled room. It felt like I was up there for an eternity

telling my friends to look after their knees, stretch, do one thing each day that scares them, and not read beauty magazines. All the while, the teacher had wet eyes and her hands were clasped in front of her face full of pride. I got a sparse and confused round of applause and quickly left the stage. The next time I saw the teacher in question was at results day, when she informed me that she'd shown the poem to her friends and had been made to feel like an out of touch square by not knowing the

song was being played on Radio One every 10 minutes. She did forgive me though. Many thanks for reminding me of

that grim old day. That's from Eddie. I think she forgave you outwardly but I had heartbroke a

little bit that day. I think he's really really let her down. Really let her down. I think it's

terrible. I remember hearing that for the first time uh on the chris smother show when he was on radio one uh in the afternoon and i remember going oh that is that is amazing and then this woman came on and he kept playing it going listen this is a mate it's incredible and this last came on the radio just crying her eyes out going oh my god i was like yeah i'm never going to express the opinion that I enjoyed

Baz Luhrmann how much do you care about what other people think of you Peter what it's not cool anymore to like it

well no I liked it the first time and then I was like oh yeah maybe it is a bit hack when I heard someone else's reaction

to it I was like oh yeah maybe it is a bit shit isn't that weird it's almost 20 years old so maybe we should revisit see what we think of it

revisit it before we go there was another guy who got in touch Pete saying it's very very simple he just said

Pete the word for farts in Japanese is onara oh yeah best ban onara

I'm just loving it I'm just loving it I feel like we have a duty to just get as many as we can because people email all the time quickly then from Matt don't do your quiz mate

I know yeah I should have done I should have just ditched the quiz shouldn't I Matt says love the winter blues song and I had it in my head a week

I'm not sure when I'll be able to sing the original lyrics again but I do hope it's soon. Reminded me of my own plagiarism at school. I'm not the most imaginative or creative person, so I ripped off an episode of A Touch of Frost that my parents had watched the previous weekend for a GCSE English short story and got away with it.

A Touch of Frost. Class. Fantastic stuff. He says, I also love the sideburns shaving story. When I was a student, I'd grown a huge beard and was out for some day drinking and got chatting to some amazing girls, who I arranged to meet later. Amazing girls! The one I had been talking to said she didn't like beards,

so before we met them, I nipped home for a trim. In my very drunken state, however, I couldn't seem to level off the two sides equally and kept trimming them higher and creating inverse sideburns right up to my temple. Went out with a beanie hat on and despite it being an indie club, I looked like a proper knob and did no get the girl. Cheers, lads. Love the show, Matt. He says, I'm also a pilot but I'm not the official pilot of the show due to a lack

of narco cargo. I understand that. But I did carry some interesting stuff around the Middle East. Falcons sat with their handler in business class and a cooler bag of camel piss. Wow. Is that used in medicine or something?

Must be used for falcons, no? The scent. Oh, yeah, that rings a bell. I'm running through the lines there, but it must be that. I do enjoy it when a group dynamic dictates that

a man has to claim ownership of the Muslim one I'm talking to. Yeah. Lads are daft, aren't they? Because you're too nervous to talk to anyone, aren't you?

I just don't like anyone. You're not somebody who likes to go up to people and just talk to them, are you? No, God. I mean, that is the sign of an imbecile in my opinion. What, actually talking to people? I need to tell you about the things in my head. Arrogant.

Okay, in your mind... If someone comes up to you and talks to you, fine. In your mind then, Pete. It makes me happy when they do, though. And that's why I hate myself. But Pete, surely by that rationale, oh, it's arrogant to go over and talk to people and tell them about the things in your head.

Yeah. When someone does that to you, are they just not doing that? Yeah, but I like it when they do that. Oh, because you're... Because then I can tell them the things in my head. Because you're an empty shell. But I don't want to open up. I'm a sponge.

Sometimes you say things and I think, how did we even become friends? No. What's your assessment of how we became friends? Friends is too strong. Okay, colleagues. That's my assessment, colleagues. Okay, how did we even become friends? No. What's your assessment of how we became friends? Friends is too strong. Okay, colleagues. That's my assessment, colleagues. Okay, how did we become colleagues?

I had access to radio studios that you and your podcast needed. Yeah, fair. Yeah, fair. So hang on a minute. Now I don't need it. Why are you still here? Yeah, good point, actually. Good point.

Just don't talk to me, all right? Radio show man doesn't like talking to people. No. If they're in the room with him he just likes to preach make of that what you will put a microphone in front of him and he'll talk to you all day yeah right that's enough yes that's enough let's get out of here um uh i mean i don't know whether we're going to edit out that um bit from the revenant but i've not seen the revenant so i i thought he was saying that if it was played by someone else

it might be better than the revenant i thought that was the tenor of his argument, but clearly not. Well, I still think it's an interesting story worth hearing. Well, I haven't seen The Revenant. I thought that story was interesting. Stop saying you haven't seen The Revenant. We know that. You've said it four times.

I'm just saying that that's why I read it out. If I'd seen The Revenant, I probably wouldn't have gone for that in any kind of rendering. You know that, well, listen, the time has come for you to take responsibility for your section of the show. But listen, Nick has never seen it either because someone replaced his VHS tape with animals.

Ooh, that bears big. Right, let's get out of here. It's been real or something. We'll be back next week with more Looking Peach Off on. All right. Probably a bit more boy band music as well. Love it. Love it.

Cheers. See you later. Do you remember when Boyzone did that performance on that Irish TV show and they were terrible dancers? That was great. All right. Probably a bit more boy band music as well.
