The Luke and Pete Show - Episode 75: How's your health?

Episode Date: June 25, 2018

Moore and Donaldson get back in their easy chairs, light a pipe each and start ruminating on the world around them once more, in episode 75 of your Luke and Pete Show.This time around there is time to talk about physical health, leading on to the fact that Pete has a charity bungee jump lined up. In a somewhat related matter, chat progresses to American candy, including Pete's favourites and a terrible memory he has of having a row in M+Ms World with an ex-girlfriend.And, before they nick off again, they squeeze in plenty of your emails - including badly edited movies, weird sports team names and lots more.

The devil is arriving. Waka waka hey hey, it's Rihanna, your boy. I'm joined by Beyonce, my girl. Luke and Pete show here. It's Pete, the hyper-lyrical MC. When he's on the mic, they call him deadly. Yeah. I think I've got a callus on my hand where I've been working out so much.

Look at that. Wow. That is certainly the given reason as to why you've got a callus on your hand. It's a form of working out. Hey, guys, listening at home. Sorry, Pete, to come in, but guys, listening at home.

I have a masturbating story. No. We'll have that in a sec okay guys listening at home if you want to know what type of morning it is this morning it's a pete turned up to the office with a massive black line all down his arm this morning yeah i don't know what that was about because i think he got caught in the tube doors please tell us about your masturbation it's not my motivation my friend of of a friend has amazing abs because he would only ever masturbate in the

half push-up, not push-up, the half sit-up position. Which is a great because I think you could get a lot done because you're very focused on other

things when you're busy. I just think that cannot simply not be true. It just cannot be true. That's what he

said. Why wouldn't he just say that? I'm always working out. Why bring that into it? It's even worse if you just say I've got say that I'm always working out have you just I mean why bring that into it yeah it's even worse if you just say

yeah I've got abs because I'm a dirty boy yeah yeah it is I'm just saying lads it's the summer time we all want that beach bod

and we all know what the key to a good gym workout is finding an exercise you enjoy I think that's the thing with our routine at the moment because we're doing a lot of shows

I've not been able to get down the gym now I'm not a big gym party pants, I'm not a big gym party pants, but I'm not a big gym boy, but it's become part of my routine that I quite enjoy, and when I do, I feel a bit lethargic. So, yeah. Yeah, I feel the same.

I need a haircut, I need to go down to the gym. My visits to the gym, I try to run and go to the gym, but not really for aesthetic reasons, because that ship has sailed. I think mine is just because I'm quite paranoid as I get older that all the work we do, sat in chairs, talking into microphones, sitting on

tubes, driving cars and that kind of stuff, I'm not actually ever using my upper body and I think if you don't use it, you're going to lose it. So I want to keep those muscles active. We work with a lot of people who are rather unhealthy. Yes. Outside of this organisation, I'd say.

Who are you talking about specifically? Well, you, radio stations, and me and radio stations. Oh, okay. People who work at radio stations. Oh, sorry. I thought you meant within our organisation. No, no, no. There's a lot of... I tell you for why.

Because PR companies send radio stations a lot of food. That is true, yeah. A lot of ket, a lot of nonsense. A lot of ket. A lot of nonsense. A lot of ket. A lot of ket. A lot of scram. You don't mean ket like the shortened version of the word ketamine. No, I mean like the northern version of candy.

Candy. And the ket man. Is that really a word for candy up north? Yeah, ket. I've never heard that before. Yeah. All right, listen, previously on the Luke and Pete show, the show where you, the listener listener are at the heart of it all

with your emails and your stories partly because they're great and partly because we can't be bothered to do any damn research previously on this show we've had

fathers for justice bit of that didn't we Pete bit of fathers for justice yeah bit of Anthony Bourdain I got a lot of criticism for

mentioning Anthony Bourdain and Rick Stein in the same sentence. I didn't mean to compare the two. I apologise if I did. I purely meant that there's not really an Anthony Bourdain, a British Anthony Bourdain. I was trying to find a travel-type guy,

a cooking-type guy, a bit of a, you know, whatever, and that's the best I could come up with. So apologies for that. We also had intellectual property theft on behalf of our listeners. Uncle British musicians as well. Yeah. There's a thread.

Balloonfest 86, which happened in Cleveland, and two men died. Two men did die. Couldn't find them in the water because of the balloons. That's a disappointing way to die, isn't it? Very disappointing, yeah. There must be 5,000 ways to die, and each one is the same way if you try. Is that Divine Comedy? No.

The way you sang it was like Divine Comedy. No, it's the guys who did the theme tune to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It'll come to me in a second. Nerf Herder. Nerf Herder. Yeah, Nerf Herder is an insult from the film Star Wars. Is that right? They've adopted and used as a band name. Oh, you're a Nerf Herder. Yeah. from the film Star Wars. Is that right? They've adopted and used as a band name.

Oh, you're a Nerf Herder. Yeah. So Nerf is like a cheap or something. I'm not a Star Wars expert, but I think someone might use that insult towards Han Solo. Or he uses it or something. Calls Chewie. Chewie, you're such a nerf herder. Chewie goes, ah, fuck off.

Yeah. I wish you'd do an episode where I just misremember all of Star Wars because I have little or no interest to it in it

what's your interest in any Star Wars stuff I've never seen the third one of the original because of fucking little bears running around oh yeah

Return of the Jedi that isn't it no yeah Empire Strikes Back and then Return of the Jedi Empire Strikes Back is good but I don't like

because Luke Skywalker has got a scar on his face I'd say the second one Empire Strikes Back and then Return of the Jedi. Empire Strikes Back is good, but I don't like it because Luke Skywalker's got a scar on his face. I'd say the second one, Empire Strikes Back, is probably, for my money, the best of the original three. The best. Well, there you go. I admitted to, what's her name, out of Han Solo, Emilia Clarke. I said, to be honest, I'm not even that big of a Star Wars fan. And listening back to the interview, it came across as a little more callous than I had planned.

What did she say? I bet she was very lovely about it. Yeah, she's a lovely woman. She's a lovely woman. She's Daenerys Targaryen as well. She is. And I don't care for your dragon shit neither, love, I said. I'm re-watching all the Game of Thrones back with my wife.

I mean, that is. Halfway through the third season. You turned up to the studio today with your wife's laptop which you're musing. Yeah. Yeah, that's good for a busy day, isn't it?

Yeah, got there, opened it up, said her name, no idea what the password is. I'm now using the work computer instead. The work computer, yes. Which is the worst computer

I've ever used. It's not the worst computer either. You just don't use Windows enough. It's worse than my dad's 386. Oh, I love a 386. I remember we used to have a 386,

then a 486, and then, no actually, it might have gone straight to a 486, and then we had a, oh, there was this thing

you could put on the top of a 386 to make it faster. It might have been some kind of, I think it was like a Celeron or something. It was something

that would make a 486 faster. Oh, it really was something else. Do you remember computers with turbo buttons? Yeah, vaguely, yeah. But what they did

was actually slow the computer down, not speed it up. Why? Because it's something to do with cycles to make it compatible with older computer software.

I think the turbo button used to be able to slow down the computer. I'm going to stop you there because that is almost unspeakably dull. I just want a laptop with a turbo button. 386 my dad dad had when we had in the living room

the back room when we were kids and um he i'm fairly certain that for the 386 because it went 386 486 and i think they brought out a pentium didn't they yeah the 386 cost £1,899 and it came without a printer that was for monitor, keyboard and tower incredible can you hear a plane flying over by the way yes I can what's he up to do you reckon where do you reckon he's going

maybe it's pilot Neil he's keeping an eye on balloon fester oh yeah it could be pilot Neil tip of his wing did you see those ones where sometimes in planes they do a little Balloon Festa 86. Oh yeah, it could be Pilot Neil. It could be Pilot Neil doing a... Tip of his wing. Tip of his wing. Celebratory. Did you see those ones where sometimes in planes

they do a little... They tap their wings together. I think I've seen that happen. No, that's dangerous. I think I've seen that happen. Surely not. They can't do that. I think it's Pilot Neil

flying over tip of his wing as if to say, I've got a shit load of cocaine on board, guys. But I'm taking it where it needs to go. I'm going to smash myself into a river.

So yeah, how's your week been? Alright? Been pretty good. We've seen a lot of each other. We have. You're off tomorrow though. but I'm taking it where it needs to go I'm going to smash myself into a river so yeah how's your week been alright been pretty good we've seen a lot of each other we have you're off tomorrow though aren't you I'm off tomorrow

a few days off well it's not a few days off I'm working a festival yeah well you don't really work is it well it is walking around pissed with a microphone in your hand

occasionally talking into a camera is not work well it is I've got to do a bungee jump oh yes I forgot to ask you about that so you've got to do a bungee jump. Oh, yes. I forgot to ask you about that. So you signed up to do a bungee jump for charity,

and now you're regretting it. And when I asked you yesterday, or the day before yesterday, whether you were nervous, you did the most amazing, fatalistic Pete Donaldson quote ever, which is essentially what you do all the time, which was, what's the point of getting nervous? What is the point of getting nervous? But you said it the way Eeyore and Winnie the Pooh would say it, which is how you say a lot of getting nervous? What is the point of getting nervous? But you said it the way

Eeyore and Winnie the Pooh would say it, which is how you say a lot of stuff. I said, we're all going to die anyway, so who cares? Might as well break my neck on a floor. Would there be some sort of, if you're doing it at a festival,

would there be some sort of breathalyzer test to make sure you're not over the limit? Because you can't do it when you're really drunk, can you? I don't think it really matters. I mean, do you really have to do anything? I mean, you just get pushed off, don't you?

No, I don't think they're allowed to push you off. I think you've got to jump off yourself. Yeah, but you... Well, yeah, but you... What's going to happen? You're going to vomit. Nobody's going to be underneath you, so knock yourself out, mate.

Get as pissed as you like. But I think maybe if you're too drunk, perhaps you relax your joints a bit too much and you break your neck or something. I told you about my mate's stepdad who stole the family housekeeping money for a week and took it to do a bungee jump because there was a bungee jump.

Yeah, that is astonishing. I mean, yeah. It's an astonishing decision. How old was the guy at the time? Probably about 40. And the kids had to eat beans for a week. He's not a good dad. It's a terrible story, that.

It's a terrible story. So how do you feel about going into the bungee jump? You just get on a thing, don't you? It'll be over in seconds. How do you feel about the principle? I can tell you, do you know what? I think I know you well enough to know that you are, although you like to be too cool for school,

I think you are a bit worried about it because you keep bringing it up. I've brought it up once with you. Twice. When? I just told you, and they were walking back the other day. And now today. That's twice then.

I just said, well, yeah, because you keep saying it's hard. It's not hard work doing the fucking festival. You've got to get all the way over to, you've got to go through Portsmouth. That's the worst place in the world. You have my sympathies there. And you've got to get a ferry from there. And it's every night. They choose the weirdest hotel.

I don't know what being in a hotel you should be camping you should be camping well not really but they choose a hotel that's 40 minutes away from site it's ridiculous

every day and every morning every morning every evening you've got to go back and forth for 40 minutes to get to where you need to be and we stay in this hotel

with this man who's I think he's Hungarian or something and he is as you would probably say he's a man who belongs on the fringes of society oh dear well he lives on the something. And he is, as you would probably say, he's a man who belongs on the fringes of society.

Oh, dear. Well, he lives on the other side, so he already does. Well, I mean, it's already Daily Mail Island, but this guy is mad. Like, proper, take your shoes off. We're going to have an intense conversation about a champagne and lobster party I'm having with my friends and you should come along. Shit.

I'm like, just let me go to bed, mate. He sounds all right. Take your shoes off and champagne and lobster. He's a nightmare. Could be worse. B&Bs can be hit or miss. You have to really be careful on TripAdvisor. It is like a B&B. I like a B&B, but you have to pick a right one. Yeah, we've spoken about how much I

hate B&Bs and being waited on. Quick one for you, just before we move on to the old emails. The main torso of the show, if you like. The trunk. Yeah. Did you see a show on TV last week

called, I can't remember what it's called, but it was essentially Bob Mortimer, who, by the way, who is a bloody national treasure, and Paul Whitehouse. They've gone fishing or something.

Yes, and it was excellent. Right, what were they doing? It's basically just like really beautifully shot almost like the trip type you know Michael Winterbottom type

shot cinematography of them just driving around going to little they went to a local brewery at one point did a bit of fishing

Paul Whitehouse no I think he's into fishing but Bob Mortimer isn't so there's a bit of dynamic there and they try and catch fish together it's very gentle but it's really funny just because it's two

quite older, funny blokes and their interactions between each other. I really enjoyed it. I had a bit of a detectorist feel about it, but just more, obviously a non-fiction version, if you know what I mean.

Did they cook the fish? No, because it was just sort of, what's it called, freshwater fishing, so they just look at the fish and put it back again. It's not mean, really. I don't think it's as mean

as maybe the other part. He's still got a hook in your mouth uh right shall we get some emails take a break yeah yes take a break and then we'll have some emails hey y'all it's farmer me mine today i'm going to show you what i've been doing to take care of the pantry moth situation she's back again the pantry moth lady we've had a lot about moths over the uh over the weeks have you noticed that when it's my turn to do emails now, Pete, and to send them around, the ones I like, I've started spelling them E-M-A-L-E-S in honour of the best boy bands of the 90s ever.

It's very enjoyable. It's also very tidy as well, but I'm not quite so tidy. I'll give you a little bolded out title of each email to give you an idea of what it is. Yeah, I mean, through the curtains, I tried to instigate a similar system when I used to cover for Marcus Speller on the Football Ramble.

But it took him a little while to come round to do little boldings and titles and stuff. But he got there in the end. I will not be taking up this team. Why don't you do it for the Luke and Pete show? Because I'm busy. I do it every week. It's too busy. All right, well, I've done it this time around. I will not be taking up this team. Why don't you do it for the Luke and Pete show? Because I'm busy. I do it every week. It's too busy.

All right, well, I've done it this time. I go for volume rather than quality. You do, yeah. As you well know. Yeah, that is true. So first up, we got an email from David, and he says, Hello from Seattle.

I thought you would enjoy some excellent team names from the lower leagues of American baseball. Ooh. So I guess he just means minor leagues. These include the Akron Rubber Ducks, the Binghampton Rumble Ponies, the Hartford Yardgoats, and the New Orleans Baby Cakes.

Baby Cakes! Now, I quite like these, and Hartford isn't too far away from where my American family are from, so maybe I should go and check them out. I don't really like baseball. I don't really understand it. But the thing I like about these,

and there's a big Wikipedia article about all the different ones, and a lot of them are quite specifically about the area they're from, if you know what I mean. So I imagine New Orleans baby, I imagine a baby cake is like a New Orleans bit of food or something.

But another one, for example, the Nashville Sounds, right? Because it's a great music city right so yeah it's quite interesting Sounds is very not music isn't it

for example Pete the Salt Lake Bees yeah I like I've just been having a look at ones he's provided a link the Olmecas de Tabasco

Olmecas de Tabasco the Olmecas were a indigenous tribe I think I think. I think it's one of the earliest civilizations in that part of the world. Is it really?

But they're the Tabascos, which I'm quite interested in. The Hartford Yardgoats play at Dunkin' Donuts Park, which I think is quite reasonably, well, not big, but big enough. And I think it's the same in NHL, the Hockey League. All these lower, minor league teams, they're all linked with bigger, major league teams. So the Hartford Yard Goats, for example, are affiliated with the Colorado Rockies.

There's a team in Connecticut that's linked with the Bruins. I know, actually, it might be a New York team who's linked with the Bruins in NHL. But anyway, good stuff. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com to get in touch with interesting sporting team names, I suppose. That sounds like quite a good thread. The Hillsborough Hops, the Hagerstown Suns,

the Asheville Tourists, the Charleston River Dogs. Charleston? It should be Charleston Dancers, surely. The Charleston Chew. A lot of American candy is quite underwhelming, but I don surely. The Charleston Chew. A lot of American candy is quite underwhelming, but I don't mind Charleston Chew. Describe that to me. I've never had one.

It's chewy. Chewy and chocolatey. I don't like chewy sweets. I don't want my teeth hurt. Yeah, but in America, chewy sweets aren't quite as chewy. They're more taffy-based, aren't they? They're quite saltwater taffy.

My favourite American candy is not a payday. They're all right. They're quite a saltwater taffy. My favourite American candy is not a payday. They're all right. They're bearable. I like old-school ones like payday and Good & Plenty. Butterfingers, though, are my favourite. That's like a sort of softer, crunchy, right? It's a flakier, butterier, crunchy with unlovable chocolate, but the edds the the the the

the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the with a girl I cared a great deal for in M&M World in London. And now I can't go in or think about M&M's.

Do you want to expand on that? Not really. All right. M&M World in Leicester Square is a joke because I don't actually do hardly any of the flavours that you'd associate with a world of a product. Do you know what I mean? It should be called...

You want like Gourmet M&M? I mean... It should be called M&M's should be called M&M's holding area or M&M's town tat town but it's just all it's just the characters

dressed up as like you know beef eaters and stuff and the Beatles but they just do different colour M&M's not different flavours that's the point

yeah but what like what flavours do you want it's a very limited product anyway it's peanut M&M's and just M&M's you live in London

what were you actually doing in there to have an argument with your It's peanut M&M's and just M&M's. You live in London. What were you actually doing in there to have an argument with your dearly beloved? I wanted to look at the M&M world. And that's why the argument happened. She was saying to you, Pete, this is not a day out.

This is not a date. Well, they've made like a Lego land over the road, haven't they? Or Lego world or something. I can imagine her saying to you a couple of weeks before,

you know that week it's your turn for date night. Don't worry, I've got it sorted. And you're walking outside of M&M World just looking at it and going, look, what about that? Look at that. It's the whole world. Can I also read a quick email?

I won't read all the emails, of course, but can I read an email about Keith Floyd? Yeah. Because Keith Floyd is, we talked a bit about Anthony Bourdain last week, as we mentioned, but Keith Floyd was a trailblazing, eccentric, drunkard, entertaining man who liked to drink. He's well worth a Google.

Somebody sent us a video of him. Somebody sent us a video, or it might be me, or the Little Beach Short account, a video of Keith Floyd going, and then, oh, that vinegar. He's putting lots of vinegar in the food. Yeah. And making a really

unlovable 80s looking dish. Yeah, they all look like that. It's a boiling pot and he just puts a whole fish just in the top of it. It just looks unlovable. And he goes,

oh, that vinegar's really getting up your nose. Things do get up your nose, don't they? Yes, Mr. Director. Don't they? Things get up your nose, don't they? Yes, Mr. Director, don't they? Things get up your nose, don't they? Is he really?

Alluding to the fact that the director loves a bit of the old nose bag chisel drug drug. What? Which is the street name for it, by the way. Anyone listening? Yeah. If you're not quite as cool and down with the kids as Pete, don't worry, he's here for you.

Yeah. Other words for it is Chang Chang Charlie. Clarky Cat. Clarky Cat Clarky Cat the Norse excavator yeah yeah all that stuff and listen

that's what you've got ahead of you this weekend Peter when you go and work in inverted commas over on the Isle of Wight which is a

Chinese held territory there's another festival it's like Taiwan but for drugs there's another festival in It's like Taiwan, but for drugs. There's another festival in Lisbon next month and it's called Noz Alive,

which is also a street name for a drug. Noz Alive. Noz Alive. My Noz is alive. There's a friend of mine who's playing guitar for a band

at a festival called Gothenbury, which is Danny Goffey from Supergrass' personal festival where he lives. I guess he must have made a bit of coin Danny Goffey from Supergrass' personal festival. Right. Where he lives.

I guess he must have made a bit of coin in the 90s from Supergrass. Right. And he's probably doing one of those, what's the name of the guy in Blur who's got

a cheese farm and that kind of crap? Yeah, Alex. Alex Summing. Yeah, he's a bit annoying. I think Danny Goffey might have a similar vibe to that going on

out in the countryside. I'm going to say Oxfordshire. Let's cheese. He doesn't want to, whenever you interview Alex James from james from blur uh james his pr his pr always says don't talk about cheese i was like you literally made your money out of you literally had a second career as a guardian talking head about fucking cheese mate i'll talk about what i fucking want did you ask about cheese no no no point somebody was that didn't. No point. I thought he was stuck. Nah, yeah,

he was stuck out of that. Anyway, back to Keith Floyd, who I imagine, back in the day, I mean, he sadly passed away now. Like a bit cheesed? Died about 65 from a heart attack, I think.

Yeah, I imagine he liked all food. But anyway, this is an email from Andy Vaughan. And I don't think this is disrespectful of the man because it's in many ways what we all probably expected. He says, hello, gents, formalities out of the way. I was the original tweeter offering up the Shen Kang batteries

in my soundbar remote, which was mentioned very early on, and they've recently tweeted a picture of some surely game-ending super lusty batteries that I found on Reddit. Super lusty, Pete. Super lusty. Anything to say on that? I'm very super lusty. I was just reading about Keith Floyd's four marriages marriages maybe we'll come to that after the email go on

anyway i have a keith floyd anecdote i think you might appreciate after the recent floyd chat on monday show of course for those of you who don't um fully remember keith floyd was also the lead singer in the band pink floyd uh my boss wife was the organiser of a local food festival, which basically meant they could access all areas and got the privilege of being backstage with Keith and his wife prior to his live cooking demo. So you know those food... Pete, it won't be up your street,

but you know those food festivals where they have like a chef with a mic on and he'll show you what he's doing? It's basically like a TV cooking show, but live. Sponsored by John Lewis. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Keith went on stage, and when he got to. It's basically like a TV cooking show, but live. Sponsored by John Lewis. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Keith went on stage, and when he got to the point where he needed a ladle, he looked around and patted himself down

like a man who had misplaced his wallet. One second while I go and get the ladle, folks, he said as he popped backstage and re-emerged after a few seconds with his ladle. He proceeded to do this for his whisk, his oven dish, and his oven glove. While the crowd sat there and thought he was getting

extremely forgetful or how underprepared he was, what they didn't realise was every time he popped his head backstage, his missus had racked up what could only be described as a generous serving of whiskey,

which he would promptly knock back and continue with the show. The wily old dog had purposely left his things backstage to give him an excuse to not go any longer than five minutes without a drink. By the time he finished his show,

he could barely string a sentence together, but was, by all accounts, a bloody nice bloke. Wonderful. A wonderful story of a man and his enabling wife. A true legend and a national treasure. What a guy. Cheers, Andy Vaughan. Now, alcoholism is not a laughing matter, but... If done correctly.

That is a fantastic story. Under the done correctly. That is a fantastic story. Under the right circumstances. That is a fantastic story. It just goes to show you, you cannot keep a good man down. You can't. And I once saw a very startlingly similar scene, side of stage at a Marilyn Manson concert with a very different substance to whiskey.

And Pete also... That might have been mentioned on this show not five minutes ago. Pete, we should also be fair here and reveal to our listeners that last time, the second to last time you and I did a live show together,

they refused... I did not go behind a screen to take that in. No, no. But I'm going to tell the story and people can be the judge. Okay. You and I were put out that they wouldn't let us have a beer on stage.

Yeah. Which, by the way, was preposterous. Yeah, it was. So we, without shame, got some beer, decanted them into mugs, put them inside a pret-a-manger bag, a paper bag, and hid them under the table.

Yeah, that's neither big nor clever. No. It wasn't whiskey, though, was it? I feel like that might be the theme of the witch for us though that's not even i mean that was uh what was that a podcast that was a guardian sponsored podcast uh fest or something yeah they couldn't handle us at our worst bad boys so they therefore didn't deserve us at our worst bad boys for life uh keith floyd um after three years in the army uh said that uh him and the army were mutually incompatible. I can imagine that.

But you're right about Floyd, because his TV shows are breathtakingly entertaining. It's almost like, it's a horrible phrase to use, but it's like rock and roll TV. He's talking to the producer, he's talking to the director, he's telling the cameraman where to point the camera, and he's cooking, and he's talking to a local, and he's getting pissed, and the point the camera and he's cooking and he's talking to a local and he's getting pissed and the food doesn't look that good but it's still

really good it's a bit similar to when there's a video on youtube where nirvana played some tune and it's out of tune and it's out of tempo and he forgets all the words but it's still brilliant that's like keith floyd doing a cooking show yeah and he told so many sort of tall tales as well like he said that he joined the army after watching Zulu, but it hadn't come out at that time. It's mad shit. It's like when Tony Blair said that he started supporting Newcastle because his dad took him to watch Jackie Milburn on the Gallagher.

Pretty sure Jackie Milburn retired when you were about one. Oi, oi, oi. Let's have an email from Gary Oakley hello Gary Oakley hello Gary I've just listened to

episode 73 when you talk about going to the cinema when it's hot outside well the heat was the exact reason the summer blockbuster became a thing

I thought this at the time but I didn't so this was a revelation to me air conditioning became regular in the cinemas in the 70s so people used to go in to watch a movie

in the nice cool air in America this so people used to go in to watch a movie in the nice cool air in America. This coincided with Jaws in 1975 when people went for

multiple viewings in the heat and the summer blockbuster where crowds had crowed around the block wanting to go in

was born. Gary Oakley thank you for that. So it makes sense because I suppose one of the things that my wife struggled with

the most since she's moved here is the fact that there's no air conditioning in the houses. Yeah. So, you know, you get this really stifling London days. I know you don't really get that many of them in London, but when you do get them, they're bad. There's no getting away from it. Because obviously in the US, everyone's used to having air conditioning everywhere.

I do get the reasoning that Gary gives us there, and no reason to doubt it, but it's confusing because in the US, everywhere has air conditioning really now. So I wonder if it's a bit of an outdated notion, I suppose. Yeah. Because you know, Pete, they also... Too many films, I say. I agree.

And a big tradition in the US is to go to the cinema on Christmas Day as well. Really? Yeah, because Thanksgiving is such a big deal. Right. Christmas Day, a lot of big films. So the winter blockbuster you'll get in the UK, which will come out on the 19th of December or whatever, sometimes they have them. Christmas Day, a lot of big films. So the winter blockbuster you'll get in the UK which will come out on the 19th of December

or whatever, sometimes they have them on Christmas Day and some people queue Christmas Eve to go watch at midnight Christmas Eve. I like the Jewish tradition of eating Christmas Day food,

Chinese food. Yeah? I like that. You eat Chinese food pretty much every week throughout the year. That's why I forgot the gym. Have you had any crippling stomach pains recently from Chinese food? No every week throughout the year. That's why I forgot the gym.

Have you had any crippling stomach pains recently from Chinese food? No, I've been all right. No, I've been all right. I ate some muggy chicken at one point. Yeah, that didn't go down so great. What food did you go for after the World Cup party we had? Two battered sausages. I live above a fish and chip shop, mate.

Is it open 24 hours? It's open until 1. And it makes my house smell of fish and chips every hour of the fucking day, Luke. And that's why I like going there. Why on earth would a fish and chip shop in Soho, which is essentially what certainly used to be the party capital of that part of London,

why would that not be open 24 hours? Yeah, you'd think it would be. I mean, they would make enough money, I reckon. The only place that are open, like a falafel place, that opens at till 2. Yeah, people who sort of come to London, I think they're always quite surprised how early, certainly if you're from like mainland Europe,

they're always quite surprised how the pubs close at like half 11 because we literally can't be fucking trusted. Yeah, I think it is interesting because London essentially is not a 24-hour city. Lots of people say it is and if you go where we both come from originally, it's a much more

nightlife obviously. A lot more goes on after dark. But if you go somewhere like Berlin, I mean, that is genuinely a 24-hour city. Yeah, the only things that are open past 2 o'clock are places where you get a handy or places, no brandy, but many handies. That's the rule, I think.

Hold the brandy or take a handy. Which is apparently Eminem's new album. Indeed. We'll probably wrap things up with one final email, if that's all right with you, Luke. Do the one from David. I like that one. No.

I really like that one. Where is it? I can't from David, I like that one. No. I really like that one. Where is it? I can't find it. Why don't you do it, I can't find it. Okay, it's about TV networks editing

movies. You got it? Yeah, cool. Yeah, you do it. Okay. Hello. Hello. A while back while

flicking through the channels I was pleasantly surprised to see Scarface was on Cinemax as their 10pm special feature. Now I live in the Philippines and the Cinemax channel here has some special feature. Now, I live in the Philippines,

and the Cinemax channel here has some rather strict views on sex, drugs, and violence, and general adult behaviour in films, which meant the three-hour film was condensed to only one hour and twenty, and was based on a series of Al Pacino stills looking determined, angry, or watching pelicans. A few weeks later, Cinemax were at it again.

This time, they'd mixed up Johnny Depp in Disney's adventure romp Pirates of the Caribbean with Jessie Jane's slightly less family-friendly romp Pirates. With all the adult scenes removed, it was amazingly still 45 minutes long and actually quite watchable. So Jessie Jane... I think that's just like a softcore porn film, isn't it?

I think it's hardcore, mate. I thought it was like an Emmanuel type film. No, I think that's just like a softcore porn film, isn't it? I think it's hardcore, mate. Pirates... I thought it was like an Emmanuel type film. No, I think it's actually a... Yeah, I think it's a... I think Pirates... That was one of the first kind of big budget hardcore pornographic films of

the new generation of... The internet generation of porn, I think. Right. I remember there being a lot of news stories about it when it came out. Right, okay. News stories. Yeah, and your particular news, when you get your news feed. That's where I got my abs.

But, yeah. But, you know, it's funny because clearly on that type of movie, it doesn't matter. This is the Luke and Pete show, it's never funny. It doesn't matter. It's whimsical. Yeah. Or it's, eh.

What would we be like if you took out our adult themes i'm very very thin thin on the ground we would not be making the 23 minutes can i just say i needed for a mid-roll advert this this comes around this comes around uh this comes around from my parents removing the sexy from top guard when i was a kid and um and obviously that film still took place and it still made sense sort of thing and you can understand why those two planes

fucking it was weird I don't know why they put that in I mean there's a remake isn't there or there's a sequel coming isn't there yeah I think Top Gun

sorry I confused the words Top Gun and Tom Cruise there yeah I think Top Gun started filming again thinking that was the actor's name

yeah he's cool that is his real name Top Gun like filming again, thinking that was the actor's name. Yeah, he's cool. No, that is his real name. Top Gun. Top Gun, like Tipper Gore. So we presumably see a lot of planes, fucking a lot of clouds. Well, they've got a roof here somehow. Yeah, they have.

And anyway, I was going to say... Plane cum. You can understand why a... That's too far. Why a porn movie would still make sense without any of the porn scenes in it. It would just be weird. Yeah.

But, I mean, taking out an hour and 40 minutes of Scarface, essentially, it would be bizarre. I'd like some more information on this, because a big part of a film like Scarface is people get killed. So, if you're taking out all the violence, is it just Al Pacino just on his own? Do they go up in the helicopter?

Because they hang a man from a helicopter, don't they? At one point, yeah own. Do they go up in the helicopter? Because they hang a man from a helicopter, don't they? At one point, yeah. Do they just go up in the helicopter and it just looks like they've just gone up on a helicopter before the man gets kicked out? The best ever helicopter scene in the film, and by which I mean the worst, is it's a James Bond film,

and I can't remember which one it is, but it's Roger Moore. He's flying around central London, very low, in a helicopter, fighting someone who's trying to chuck the helicopter around to try and get him to fall out. And it is incredibly bad. The stunt doubles.

Essentially, at one point, I think they used dolls. It's ridiculous. I mean, listen, get in touch. Hello at LukeandPeach.com. A, you remember what film that is. It's a Roger it's ridiculous. That is, I mean, listen, get in touch. Hello at LukeandPete.com. If you can, A, remember what film that is. It's a Roger Moore, James Bond. And two, think of a worse helicopter scene in the film because I guarantee you, you won't.

What's the one that's in, there's a helicopter scene in, didn't we do a Smirsh pod for a... Yeah, we did Spectre. Spectre. I think there's a bad scene in that one in Helicopter, and there's also a bad scene... Oh, that's a good scene at the beginning

where they fly up. Yeah, but then it gets really close. Mate, you want to look at the Roger Moore scene compared to that. Yeah, but also there's one in the first Dan Brown film where I think... Oh, Da Vinci Code. Yeah, is that the one where Ewan McGregor plays the Pope or something?

Ewan McGregor... Does it fly right up into the sky and blow up? Well, no, I think he just gets on a plane, does it? I think he just gets on it and just leaves. Like, that's the way he leaves the whole scene. He just gets on a helicopter. It's all very strange. All very weird.

Let's get out of here. Let's move on. One more Luke and Pete Shaw. Luke and Pete Shaw, number... That was 70... This is 75. 75, yes. Next one's going to be 76

I like how slow and sluggish you are on the rig I can't use this computer I can't use this computer although I'll give it extra credit for having a sticker of Tiago Silva on it

we'll be back next week if you want to get in touch with the show we're back twice a week Pete we'll be back on Thursday alright yeah but I I might do it on my own

is this your way of telling me maybe Thursday. All right. Yeah, but I... I might do it on my own. Is this your way of telling me? Maybe.
