if you're having girl problems i feel bad for your son why not give us an email
yeah why not hello at lukeandpeachow.com get it in there early pete i am in my favorite blooming
place to be what sat opposite Sat opposite you. Oh.
About to talk for half an hour or
so of absolute nonsense.
I thought it was just a state of mind.
No. I thought you'd gone to the Matrix, the happy
place. I was being, I was exaggerating
for effect. Shall we become an incel
podcast? Red pill,
blue pill, all that business.
This is the problem, see. There's
two problems with that. Right. One, because because i'm 37 i don't really understand it and two that's the main problem
let's make that very clear i don't think my heart would be in it because we've had sex um not not
but not with each other recently no not recently no no not recently no i missed that um there was
a there was a period of time when we first became friends
when your girlfriend at the time did send me a message on Facebook
asking if we were having an affair.
Oh, right, because we used to talk so much.
Yeah.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore, as Cliff Richard once said.
He did.
Sir Cliff Richard, if you don't mind.
Sir Cliff Richard, if you don't mind.
We're all business.
We're back to the Luke and Pete show.
I'm Pete Donaldson.
I'm joined by Luke Moore, and this is how we do it every week.
In the words of the great Montel Jordan.
Oh, sorry.
Sir Montel Jordan, if you don't mind.
Yeah, we talk about nonces every week.
It's unplanned.
But the bit that is planned is, of course, your contributions, dear listener.
You can get in touch with hello at lukeandpeetshow.com, as Pete's already stated.
And we're also on Twitter and Insta at Luke and Pete Show.
Recently on the show show we've talked about
so I normally do a top five
don't I
top five subjects
of things we've talked about
in the past
yeah
do you want a last week stab
yeah
last time on Dragon Ball Z
there you go
we had your
actually quite niche
opinions
about the channel islands
any feedback on that
I've not looked at the emails.
Yeah, I'm about to block a couple of words.
I'm about to mute a couple of words.
Secondly, we had front men with the best front man skills.
Right, okay.
Remember that?
Bit of Tony Hawk.
Oh, yeah, okay.
The skateboarder, not the sort of...
The hawk.
Yeah, broadcast.
Tony the hawk.
Yeah.
We had the tallest freestanding structure in the UK,
which you were disinterested in.
And coming in at number one,
arm wrestling with actors that are particularly strong.
Yes.
So that's what we've been talking about recently.
If you've got anything to say on any of that sort of stuff,
do email in.
Pete, what have you been up to this week so far?
And what's been floating your boat, me old son?
I mean, you went to the football,
and I started following a
Twitter account called
JAV titles.
Now if you're
unfamiliar,
JAV I think stands
for Japanese Adult
Video.
Oh God.
And basically this
person goes around
looking at or
basically reading the
boxes of Japanese
Adult Videos and
translating them to
English.
And there are some delicious titles, Luke.
Can I just say, I started off thinking, oh God,
and now I'm thinking, great.
Yeah.
This sounds brilliant.
They're so technical and they're very long titles
and I don't know what's wrong with just, you know,
Barely Legal 6 or Big Boobie 7. Like, what's the, you know, I don't know what's wrong with that. you know, Barely Legal 6 or Big Boobies 7.
Like, what's the, you know, I don't know what's wrong with that.
I mean, apart from the Barely Legal thing, that's problematic.
I bet some of them are truly delicious.
Tell us.
Come on, Roger Moore would love it.
Sir Roger Moore, sorry.
So this is, I'm literally reading from the top of the page.
They've tweeted like a million times with a million titles,
so I'm probably picking out the wrong ones.
Do self-censor this. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. They've tweeted like a million times with a million titles, so I'm probably picking out the wrong ones. Do self-censor this?
Yeah. Well, that's the thing. They are
censored. There's no horrible
words in it. They're just very
generic body parts.
And this is a niche question, but you
are probably the person I know most
equipped to answer it. Am I
right in saying that in Japanese pornography,
the genitals are pixeled out?
Yes. Even though the whole of Japanese society seems to be
dedicated to getting men off,
for weird reasons, censorship reasons,
all of the genitalia are indeed blocky.
So, I mean, if you,
and I'm going to use you in this analogy very carefully,
or story, sorry, example,
if you went into a Japanese
seller
of hardcore pornography
and purchased something, it would be legal to do so.
Yes.
But even though you've agreed you want to do it,
it's hardcore, you know what it is,
when you play it at home on your own, in the comfort of your own home,
it's going to be pixeled out.
Yes, I believe so.
Which is strange.
What must Japanese young boys think happens down there? it's going to be pixeled out. Yes. Okay. Which is strange. Strange. Very strange. Um,
uh,
so what must like Japanese young boys think,
think happens,
think,
think what their own genitals should look like.
Well,
exactly.
Because like,
yeah,
I mean,
you don't see the penis,
you don't see the vagina.
So like,
you know what your penis looks like.
And if you've never seen a vagina,
I mean,
yeah,
I'm like genitals by their very nature are aggressive, strange looking.
They're almost like, in one case, flowers,
and the other one, a horrible root vegetable.
You must be so kind of like, oh, what have I got to do with this?
What have I got to do with this?
Nothing has ever been more clear about that
when it comes to the male genitalia than when Ian Beefy Botham
sent a picture of his appendagey botham sent a picture of his
appendage allegedly sent a picture of his appendage he maintains for the record that it wasn't him
um allegedly sent a picture of his penis to a a woman and or a man it was no but he did do it to
a woman okay well it was the um the almost like the most unsavory item or part of a human being
i could possibly imagine and the human being I could possibly imagine.
And the worst shot you could possibly imagine too.
From the worst angle.
From the worst angle.
It was below.
You could see guts.
You could see side of Beefy's head.
Yeah.
He said he'd been hacked.
Yeah.
What to fall from grace from a previously fantastic sportsman.
Yeah.
He's not been a fantastic sportsman for a long time though.
He's been a problematic individual for longer, hasn't he?
That's a bit rich.
I know, right?
I've never been the sportsman.
Maybe I'll become a sportsman later in life. Maybe I'll be an amazing crazy golfer or something.
Have you ever even got the world-class sportsman
get-out-of-jail-free card in your locker?
No, but if I do something terrible,
he's been at that for ages.
That's kind of his brand, to be honest.
At what point does someone like Ian Botham
become a terrible human being longer
than he's become a great cricketer?
Yeah, I could be like a bad,
I could be personally like
the bad boy of perverts.
Instead of like, you know, like,
is it Nick?
Well, that's the show title sorted.
The bad boy of perverts.
Right, here's your first Japanese AV title.
Women in ecstasy, their faces and armpits.
It's just, it's very descriptive.
Yeah, it really is.
Naughty girl loves cucumbers. Shinobu Akizawa. Yeah, it really is. Naughty girl loves cucumbers.
Shinobu Akizawa.
Hello, Shinobu.
What have we got here?
The nape of a hundred women. The second
collection. The nape? Yeah, the neck.
As in the neck? So weird.
That is odd.
Cum
penetration. Some of them are a bit filthy.
Explosive in pants handjob.
In pants handjob,
shame of not taking pants down feels good.
I think that means it's all happening in the pants.
Yeah.
So you don't need to blur that out, I suppose, do you?
Pants are very much the epicentre there.
But when you said cum penetration,
for some reason it really reminded me of the John Betjeman poem.
And I thought you were going to say,
Come Penetrate on Forlorn Slough.
Oh, this one's beautiful.
I Can Orgasm.
This is such a long title.
How do they fit it on the thing?
I know.
Well, you know, kanji in Hiragana, it's very...
Thrifty.
Very thrifty, but you can get a lot out in a lot of spaces.
So to speak, yeah.
I Can an orgasm
from the simplest little thing
an ultra-sensual
prematurely ejaculating
office lady
I wanted to keep
my ultra-sensuality a secret
but one day
my boss found out
at first I started
with some light
sexual harassment
but then things
escalated from there
that's a title
that's a title isn't it
yeah
it's mad isn't it
brevity is the soul of wit
William Shakespeare
oh dear
oh good
no suck lesbian
nine people
alright let's watch
a couple of these
do you want to get
them up on the
do you want to get
them up on the
up top yeah
alright well
I've got a few
I mean is that all
you've got from that
sort of end of the
trench Pete
binding chubby
girls meat like ham
meat like ham
I presume that's
meat spelt M-E-A-T
they're big into
rope binding out there
so I imagine it's just
it's just comparing
chubby Japanese ladies
with ham
I mean if you are
listening for the first time
delivery surprise
cock pizza
the reason that's so good
is because I've genuinely
seen you do that
if you're listening
for the first time
that's enough now Pete
if you're listening
for the first time
I mean we will move
beyond this sort beyond this filth
I've got something
Magnum Grandfather
Magnum Grandfather
That was worth it
That was worth it
It does make sense because the Magnum is known as a particularly
powerful gun right? Yeah I guess so
There's a grandfather who's
Back! Fuck! Back!
A barely legal spittoon bitch These are all titles we can use I was There's a grandfather who's... Back! Fuck! Back! A barely legal spittoon bitch.
These are all titles we can use.
I was talking about a grandfather
whose powers have not diminished
despite his advancing years.
Right, anyway.
Peter, that's enough.
Put your phone down.
I will not relax
until you put your phone down.
I can't stop.
Right, one last one.
Okay.
Brilliant, beautiful female anchors
driven so wild by cocks
they foam at the mouth
during a live broadcast.
It's more like a head...
Phone's down.
Phone's down.
It's more like a sort of bright butt headline.
I want to talk about...
Sex, baby.
Oh, first of all, Harry Taylor, I'm sorry, Harry,
for you being the punctuation to that particular section,
but that dems the brakes, my friend.
That's what the Luke and Pete show do to you.ry got in touch on twitter because we talked about fish and chips
didn't we last time around or last week and he said um luke um you appear to be a fish and chips
you know aficionado whatever i'm not i just just like eating them he said salt first or vinegar
first my local chippy always goes salt first which really pisses me off as a normal middle
englishman i'm too scared to tell a man how to do his job i think you'd have to re-salt afterwards vinegar first. My local chippy always goes salt first, which really pisses me off. But as a normal middle Englishman,
I'm too scared to tell a man
how to do his job.
I think you'd have to
re-salt afterwards.
Exactly.
Absolutely vinegar first
at all times.
Otherwise the vinegar
just washes the salt
to the bottom.
Do you ever use
rock salt on chips?
Waste of time.
Well, my friends
at Mould and Sea Salt
have furnished me
over the years.
Luke once did a video
with some,
was he a chef or something? James Ramsden, a chef of some repute by the way. Is once did a video with some, was he a chef or something?
James Ramsden, a chef of some repute by the way.
Is he related to Harry Ramsden?
Oh, the Chipper Shop guy. I think he's the grandson,
the great grandson. Ah,
sword listening. Yeah,
he was basically flogging
some sea salt and Luke
was involved in the
what would you call it, like a little video?
In the game we call it branded content
a little bit of branded content
yeah
I should know that
yeah
but yeah
it wasn't my finest hour
but James is absolutely lovely
and remains very successful
not only
is he a good chef
he's actually the owner
and proprietor
of a Michelin star restaurant now
so he deserves credit
even if I deserve none
I bet he'd know
which order to put the salt on
I bet he does
yeah
I bet he does I yeah bet he does um i um
yeah i wanted to bring so he's got that out the way from harry i wanted to bring to the table a
couple of i know you don't really like animals but i really want to bang this drum just for
animals but when we had discussion about doing stuff before you said you don't want to do
anything with animals no i just think it's very um i think it's squared away elsewhere okay fine
so it's being wildlife the. Okay, fine. Wildlife.
The public are being well served in other areas.
Fair enough.
I did find out that yellow jackets in America,
they're just like wasps.
I thought they were completely different animals.
Oh, is it just what they call wasps?
Yeah.
Okay.
I killed a wasp yesterday. I've been watching.
I've been watching.
You know, they eat meat.
They like to catch a wasp.
They'll just eat rotted meat because they're little babies.
They eat meat.
So if you leave out chicken and stuff,
they attack your food
because they want meat.
They want proteins for their kids.
So not sugar as is often stated?
No, no.
Why do they like jam so much?
So then themselves will eat sugar and sugar water.
But I think to feed their babies,
they need something with a bit more protein.
So they go for meat.
Yeah, but I'm not trying to attract wasps.
I'm trying to do the opposite to that.
Yeah.
Don't eat meat then.
Okay.
Go veggie.
They also, as is often stated,
when they sting,
they leave a pheromone out to attract other wasps.
Did you know that?
Is that right?
Yeah, which is horrendous.
Have a go.
Do you remember those wasps we talked about
inside those figs back in the day?
Oh, yeah.
That was like second or third episode.
Yeah.
When I gave a shit.
Wasp and hornet nest scare me. They look like something from another world. day oh yeah that was like second or third episode yeah when I gave a shit yeah wasp
and hornet nest scare
me they look like
something from another
world have you seen
that black mirror
episode with the the
sort of AI fly out
bees no it's brilliant
so essentially I'll
very quickly I'm
getting sidetracked
again this is the name
of the game of the
show I'll do this
black mirror obviously
is fantastic and
there's an episode
I think it's the
feature-length episode
at the end of season three and I forget what it's called i think it might be
called hated in the nation and uh the premise is not actually this but one of the setups is that
because of the decline in b population um a particular um you know like on all those films
now these near future science fiction films you have like a mark zuckerberg type character
and the guy in this particular one he's developed a load of things i think like in the in the show they call them adis um and they
are essentially they're ai little nano robots that replicate um b activity so they're everywhere
there's thousands of them everywhere they buzz around they and they pollinate flowers and they
do different bits and pieces and obviously it turns out they're not quite what you think they
are and um they're doing surveillance and that kind of stuff. But it just reminded me of it.
But it's funny because, you know the little details in Black Mirror?
So the hives that they are programmed to build themselves
are like 8-bit hives.
It's really cool.
Yeah, I thought of you when I saw it.
But anyway, I can't remember the original point,
but it's a good episode.
You should watch it.
But I want to talk about previously thought extinct species
because apparently
a British holiday maker
has discovered
a tree kangaroo
in the rainforest
of Indonesia
that was thought
to be extinct
for 90 years
and I just love that
I just love the idea
that the animal itself
doesn't give a shit
oh yeah
just getting on with it
yeah so
if you don't see me
that's your problem pal
yeah but 90 years later the wandi it's probably called the wanduwo tree kangaroo it's
on the top 25 most wanted lost species and it's evaded adventurers and zoologists since 1928
isn't it funny that like we're almost we take it almost as an affront how dare you yeah well you
know we see like one of those giant octopus in the sea, we're like, what?
We've caught this on an oil rig camera?
What's going on?
I can't believe this.
They're terrifying, those videos.
But this tree kangaroo was found by a guy, like a tourist,
but he's got an interest in orchids.
He was looking for types of orchids in West Papua,
I guess in Indonesia.
And yeah, he just happened upon it.
It looks like a teddy bear.
It's weird.
Anyway, so that's quite interesting.
But just very, very quickly before we move on to emails.
I was listening to Radio 4 yesterday or the day before or whatever,
and they were talking about a species of bird.
This is along the same theme.
A species of bird that was almost extinct
in the bahamas um oh no sorry yeah a species of bird that's almost extinct in the bahamas they
got an expert on talked about how you bring a species of bird like that back from the brink
of extinction essentially and um this is a bit of a plea to people out there in case they know
and they'll know much more than me the guy on the radio was talking about um bringing a species of bird back successfully from one surviving female right okay yeah and
this blows my tiny mind because i don't know how that's possible did it he didn't explain it did it
he just went i just moved on yeah of course the so-and-so bird was brought back from one
surviving female in 1997 or something like that it was was literally, that's all he said. Isn't it funny how we have such precious ideas
about what constitutes a male and a female in our world?
And obviously the lines are blurring as we head into 2018.
You know, things are changing massively,
which is detailed in this Japanese AV.
Now, like things are blurring a lot.
And as older people,
we're sort of like, I'm struggling to keep up with pronouns
and stuff like that.
I'm struggling.
But in the animal world, the lines between male and female
are blurred so quickly and so often.
In a lot of species in the biological world,
that's absolutely true.
But I'm talking about the method.
I mean, birds seem, I don't think I've seen that in birds before like how you how you manage to create um two reproductive cells of different
yeah sexuality it must have been done by um sexes rather it must have been done
yeah obviously in some sort of um some sort of scientifically developed way obviously
or maybe maybe did they get did they get a bird that was very close to it or
oh man that's what I thought initially. This is why we're not scientists.
Yeah, but that's what I thought initially,
and I thought about that as well when it came to the woolly mammoth.
What you do is, because they're so well preserved in Siberian ice,
you get some tissue, you rebuild the DNA.
For an elephant.
Yeah, and they use an elephant to make up the rest of it.
Well, I'm sorry, that's not a mammoth.
No.
That's an ele-mammoth.
Get that thing out of my face.
That's a mammophant.
That's Mr. Snuffleupagus.
Yeah, that's the Gruffalo.
If you do know any more than us,
and let's be fair, it's absolutely likely.
How did they make a bird out of nothing?
Yeah, how did they make a bird out of nothing?
How did they make a nuthatch out of nothing?
Out of one reproductive cell.
Speaking of busting a nuthatch.
Sorry?
You were talking about it earlier.
Let's go to email, shall we?
But shall we have a little break first, people?
All right, then.
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.
I like it when he says the really...
Is it Guantanamo?
The really passive-aggressive...
Yeah.
The really passive-aggressive
nature of him saying
as far as I can remember
was in the UK.
Listen, mate,
you know it's in the UK
and so do I,
so stop that.
I mean, we've had a sexy
start to the show,
but imagine that guy fucking...
I'm putting it in now.
As far as I remember,
I'm erect.
I'm going to put it in you as far as I remember.
Disgusting little pig.
Yeah, what a disgusting man.
What a disgusting little...
And if anyone knows about disgusting men, it's you and I, Peter.
Correct.
Do you want to go first on the email front?
We've got loads, by the way.
Okay.
Well, I've gone back to a couple of weeks ago, to be honest,
to grab my emails, because I think it's important
to bring up the rear, so to speak.
Yeah.
JV.
Mike, or Mick, maybe.
Either way, it's M-I-C.
So, I mean, for me, that's Mike, isn't it? Microphone.
In the game we're in, Donny, that's microphone all day long.
Exactly.
That's Mike.
Long time, first time, batteries, huahong.
Okay.
Huahong.
A solid start.
In episode 89, Luke brought up the topic of record industry excesses in relation to single-slash-album releases that cost the artists
more money than sales recouped.
The new order track that was sold in packaging,
more expensive than the record itself.
I think it was in some kind of floppy disk kind of pastiche
because it was die-cut, the cardboard.
It was, in fact, the original sleeve for Blue Monday,
the biggest selling 12-inch of all time.
The band lost 5p per record sold. I'm sure they'd be
able to make that back up elsewhere.
I was also reminded that the original vinyl pressing
of the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers was in a sleeve
which featured a working zipper.
This sleeve famously depicted up
a male crotch clad in jeans.
Unfortunately, the zipper would damage the records when they were
stacked and shipped. Not only do I own
one of those, Pete, I've got it on my wall in my living room.
Oh, really? With the zipper and everything.
Oh, exactly.
After this was discovered,
future shipments
had to have the zip
partially undone
so that the zipper
would sit towards
the middle of the record
and do no damage.
A step that proved
time-consuming and costly
because, obviously,
it's a big old situation.
Have you ever bought...
Ewan from Aberdeen
talks about the
spiritualised
Ladies and Gentlemen
We Are Floating in Space
special edition,
which obviously came in
like a blister pack. Didn't we talk about it last week? Yeah, we're floating in space. Um, special edition, which obviously came in like a blister pack.
Did we talk about it last week?
Yeah,
we did.
Yeah.
Have you ever bought the special edition of everything,
anything apart from that Rolling Stones thing you just mentioned?
I didn't actually buy that.
My mom gave it to me.
Right.
Okay.
No,
I don't think so.
Okay.
Right.
I've got a load of,
I've got a collection of,
um,
seven inch singles from all over the place,
really different,
um,
different,
uh,
eras.
Uh,
I've got a couple of
fairly valuable ones
but I've never bought like
the only ones I would have
would be like the
special edition clear vinyl
or the special editions
right okay
picture disc or whatever
I don't have any of those famous ones
yeah
I'm just sort of thinking that
like video game wise
I think I've never
spent more money
on the special edition
because I've never loved
anything that much
but I have bought
like remember that
automaton
instrument that stupid thing that we played
a little it looks like a musical note in 3d um i do have a lot of those and i did when i came back
from um korea slash a little bit in japan uh a few weeks ago i bought a kirby branded automaton
now if you know about my experience with these bloody instruments none of them work what is Kirby
Kirby the Nintendo
character
he eats everything
that's his thing
he just eats everything
he sucks it all in
he's a pink thing
he's a sort of
big pink
I think I can picture
him
definitely like
second tier
kind of Nintendo
character
like Dizzy Egg
or something
well I think
more units
have been shifted
of Kirby games
than Dizzy games that says more about the society than anything it says more about the Oliver Twins than anything egg or something well i think more units have been shifted of kirby games and dizzy games
that says more about the society than anything says more about the oliver twins than anything
um i did buy a special edition uh kirby version of uh the automaton but i'm not going to open it
because my experience these automatons is they work for about two months and then they die they
just die they're not very well made so what i'm going to do is I'm going to leave this in the packaging.
It might be worth something one day,
and it'll be like Schrodinger's instrument.
I don't know whether it works or it doesn't work.
That's what I'm excited about.
Good idea.
It's going to be this beautiful kind of mystery for me.
That's a good idea.
A colourful pink mystery.
Part of the reason I don't really get involved
with all these special edition stuff
is because I'm too impatient to not open it.
Open it, yeah.
I don't understand
the people who sort of...
People who collect those
Funko Pops.
Have you seen those
Funko Pop things?
Sometimes you just say words
that I have no idea,
I've never heard before.
They're little vinyl toys
but they've got square heads
and you will have seen them
because they're massive
and they are the most
unlovable pieces of shit
I've ever seen in my life.
They are...
I'm going to Google it now.
Yeah,
just Funko Pops.
Basically,
they have,
you know,
grabbed every IP going
and made a version
of the Funko Pops.
Oh, no,
I have seen those.
Yeah, yeah.
And made a version
from wrestling
to video games
to TV shows.
One is a minion.
Minion.
I mean,
how does that work?
This looks like a minion. That's just a minion work just looks like a minion that's just a minion
yeah
that's just that
they're messing around there
but yeah
they are the most
people who collect
with the great respect
to the people
who do collect them
get something
with a bit more
flair
I want an Eric Cartman one
alright yeah
fair enough
I hate them so much
let's talk about
let's talk about Duran Duran, if that's okay with you.
All right, then.
This has got a bit of a multimedia element to it, this email.
Ooh, la la.
Do you want me to send you a link, or should I just play it from my laptop?
Play it from your laptop and put it in the thing, we'll figure out.
So this is from Alessio, who says, greetings from Kenya.
Ooh.
I've recently discovered your excellent show,
and I'm slowly working my way through all the episodes from the very beginning.
Well, you'll eventually reach an episode
where I'm in Kisumu in Kenya.
Yes, you will, yeah. That's something to look forward to.
You'll also have a largely appalling time.
One minor correction, says Alessio,
from one of your early shows
is Simon Le Bon's infamous false
note at Live Aid came
during a rendition of A View to a Kill
and not Wild Boys, as stated by Pete.
Wild Boys was not actually performed that night.
Now, I don't remember this,
but you were obviously waxing lyrical about a famous bum note
that Simon Le Bon hit during this performance.
Now, I didn't even know this existed.
This has completely passed me by.
Yeah, well, he does it,
and then the guitarist, who I forget his name,
really gives him a dirty look.
Yeah, so Andy Taylor. So let me finish the email, and I'll play you the clip gives him a dirty look. Yeah, so Andy Taylor.
So let me finish the email
and I'll play you the clip
because it's funny.
It's only short.
Duran Duran's performance
at Live Aid in Philadelphia
was notable for a couple
of reasons.
It was the final time
the original five members
of the band performed
live together until 2001
as Roger and Andy Taylor
were soon to leave the band
after Live Aid.
But nobody knew this
at the time, of course.
The band was actually
on an extended break
during 1985
and had not performed together in over a year.
Simon Le Bon's inadvertent falsetto
was followed by a very visible eye roll
from guitarist Andy Taylor, as you say, Pete,
captured on film,
which perhaps summed up the tensions that existed
among the band members at the time.
The band's lack of chemistry on stage was very noticeable.
Now, I understand that if you're not a fan of Duran Duran
or neither care,
just bear with me because I'm going to play you the video at the end it's funny in later interviews it was revealed that the band
had only agreed to pause their hiatus and perform together at Live Aid because they were huge in
America and their presence would have helped with ticket sales and tv audiences and it was basically
done as a favor to Bob Geldof but a view to a kill was in fact top of the American charts on that day
giving Duran Duran a unique opportunity of performing the US number one live
to a world audience.
So I imagine it helped
them shift a few units
as well.
So thanks for a great podcast.
Looking forward
to the next episode.
Now,
when we talk about
front men
hitting bum notes,
you know,
shit happens, right?
A guitarist misses up a solo.
I've seen bands
have to start shows again,
songs again.
This is
the absolute apex,
the number one bum note ever.
One, because it just is.
Two, because of the audience.
It's amazing.
It's a global audience, the likes of which we will never see again.
And it's a real piece of work. He really goes for it.
And his vocal cords take him into a cul-de-sac that's really hard to get out of.
Yes.
You actually have to swallow to recover from.
And also, I like the idea of him thinking,
oh, do you think anyone noticed?
Yes!
The whole world noticed!
You're on worldwide TV.
This is possibly the biggest TV audience of all time.
So yes, they definitely noticed it.
By the way, the song's also number one,
so everyone knows it.
Ready?
Here we go.
Listen to this.
If you've heard this before enjoy it
again if you haven't
you're in for a treat
it's the look from
from Andy Turley just
goes oh for fuck's
you want to hear it
again hear it again
it's all we need
it's got a lovely
jacket on
he's dressed as
you'd imagine a man
from Duran Duran
to be dressed in
didn't he
one mate told me
that
my best mate
told me that
he picked
his wife
out of a magazine
apparently so
yeah
I want that one
Yasmin Labon
Yasmin Labon
yeah
I mean to be honest
if you're going to
walk around with the name Lab if you're going to walk around
with the name Lebon
yeah Pete
you're right for a Lebon marriage
for me
yeah but the thing is Pete
you pick a girl
out of a magazine
and everyone's got
an opinion on it
I know right
there we go
wonderful
what's next
I enjoyed that immensely
Mark just a couple of
we've not touched on
Bat Reefs
which is a long time
okay
it's become a motif
of the show
people get involved but not people get involved but i think it's well worth reminding people of
the um the genesis of the show yeah we picked up on battery brands quite early so like the few
first few episodes was all about what batteries have you got in your remote control yeah i'd
happily um you know draw a line um screw a line under this and just sort of go look we're not
going to talk about batteries anymore.
But there are some wonderful,
wonderful battery brands out there.
And the thing that's important to stress as well
is this came from like,
either you or I,
looking in a remote control and thinking,
why do you see such weird brands of batteries
that are sold with electronic goods?
Yes.
But generally speaking,
you can't really buy in the shop.
No.
Like rebranding of batteries with really odd, un unthought through sort of names and brands and that's
where it came from going through the um sewing machine district and there is a sewing machine
district uh of seoul in korea um just strolling around and seeing basically a whole uh micro
community um focused on um fixing fixing sewing machines.
But electronic ones, not old-fashioned ones.
Electronic ones and old-fashioned ones.
It depends.
It was just all different sewing machines.
But then the next district was just kind of haberdasher's people
selling bits of ribbon and bits of cloth and badges
and stuff like that.
So all of these kind of like, you know,
those big skate brands like Supreme and stuff.
People were selling the original slash not original
hooky versions of these Supreme badges and stuff.
And I was thinking, I'll just get...
But they were kind of like off-brand,
kind of like Supreme with something added in,
like Supreme Nike edition and stuff.
Why were they doing that?
Just speculation.
They print out like 100 different brands.
It's not illegal in Korea to do that.
Well, yeah, but IP is so kind of hard to follow, isn't it,
out in the far east?
Because you have
those Apple shots
which look like Apple shots
but they're not official.
Oh, yeah, but they're not
and they just sell
Android shit.
Anyway, Mark came in
with this.
Whilst while I was
on my council job,
I happened across
the battery recycling bin
and immediately thought
of you guys.
I know this isn't necessarily
playing by the rules
of what batteries
are in your remote,
but I found some real gems.
Amongst the other
hundreds of everyday
batteries were these.
Chameleon, spelled
incorrectly, always
ready.
C-A-M-E-L-I-O-N.
That's like camel
lion.
I think I've seen
that before, but I
thought it was camel
lion.
I've only just
realised it's chameleon.
What a shimmer.
Yeah.
Universal Electronics
GP1800.
Chevron.
I think we've had Chevron before,
which I quite like.
Eclipse.
Here's where it gets interesting.
Vinnick.
Yeah, we've had Vinnick.
Have we had Vinnick before?
We've had Vinnick Ultra before,
definitely.
Oh, no, okay.
Dick Smith.
That's not right.
Have we had a Dick Smith?
No, we've never had that.
He's not the guy
who wrote Stick of the Dump.
Exactly.
That's incredible incredible isn't it
Dick Smith
it's the scene
that keeps on
mining that
it's the gift
that keeps on
giving I'm telling you
if you think
that we haven't
featured your
favourite battery
brand before
we will have done
you've just missed it
because there are
80 odd episodes
of this bloody nonsense
the general rule is
if you tweet
the at Luke and Pete
show on Twitter
it better be good
with a battery brand
if it's one I haven't seen before,
I'll always quote tweet it with,
a new player has entered the game.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
If you get ignored,
it's because you ain't good enough.
I'm not replying to every single one of them.
No, that would be madness.
That's the battery.
Let's bring people up to speed with the battery.
We got time for one more real quick?
Yeah, one more email.
Yeah, lovely.
This is a good one.
I've titled this email,
Dad of the Year.
I think it will touch you, Pete,
and our listeners.
It's from Tom. He says, Good morning, morning gents just listen to episode 91 where you talked about
the things your respective fathers brought home from work so i thought i'd let you know what my
dad decided to bring home back in the early 90s thunderbirds were experiencing a bit of a
renaissance do you remember that uh and as a six-year-old i was obsessed i had everything
from duvet covers to lunch boxes however there was one thing I couldn't get my grubby
little mitts on.
Thunderbird 5.
See, while Thunderbirds
1 through 4
were readily available
to any decent toys RIP,
the manufacturers
in their infinite wisdom
decided that no
self-respecting child
would want Thunderbird 5.
Was that the rocket?
This was the space station
and was therefore
only in a few of the episodes.
Right.
My dad at the time
was an engineer
for a well-known aircraft manufacturer in Bristol.
Being a great father, he took Thunderbird 3,
which docked into the side of Thunderbird 5,
and into work and spent a whole night
modelling and reverse engineering a Thunderbird 5 for me.
Nice.
When he brought the finished article home,
I was overjoyed.
However, the only downside is
the only material he could acquire was aluminium.
Therefore, the child's toy was heavier
than I could actually lift.
Heavier and hot.
What a touching story that is.
That's lovely.
I'm not a father.
I hope to be one day.
But I imagine if you could sum up the love for a father and his child there,
you'd do it at that email.
He's worked all night on that.
Yeah.
Well, probably longer, to be honest.
That sounds like a hell of a job.
We don't know how good he is as an engineer.
My dad made well, probably longer to be honest. That sounds like a hell of a job. We don't know how good he is as an engineer. My dad made me a garage, a little kind of,
you could like drive the cars in and drive the cars out and stuff.
He made it out of wood and little bits of plastic and stuff.
I do wonder where that, I had it until I was like 18.
And like my dad and mum being the non-nostalgic beings they are,
they probably tricked straight in the skip.
Do you know what my parents do?
Right.
So if I
say I'll lend
my mum a book
right
I say oh yes
but you'll like it
you can have it
or you can borrow it
or whatever
and a couple of weeks
later I'll go see them
and I'll finish that book
I really enjoyed it
I'll put it in that
I'll put it in this bag
for you
do you want me to
put it in the car
and I'll be like
oh yeah okay fine
she'll put it in the car
obviously the bag
contains about 500
other things from her loft that she doesn't want it's the size that they're mine and I have to take oh yeah okay fine she'll put it in the car obviously the bag contains about 500 other things
from her loft
that she doesn't want
it's the size that they're mine
and I have to take them
back to my house
which by the way
is tiny
she wants to just
pass them all off
all the time
yeah I don't know why
I think we spoke about this before
my mum's obsessed with the fact
that the loft has things in it
so when we go
we have to clear out the loft
there's a filing cabinet
and two boxes
there's nothing up there
there's a couple of eyes
that I see in my books
some back issues a private eye that's it and they're all my dad's got to cut the port on those out that loft. There's a filing cabinet and two boxes. There's nothing up there. There's a couple of eyes that I see in my books.
Some back issues of private eye.
That's it.
And they're all my dad's.
Cut the portals.
Sexy calendar.
Cut the cupboards
with big ones.
Big ones?
Yeah.
Mate, I'm not into
big ones anymore.
I'm into Japanese AV.
Yeah, we're not getting
into that again.
Let's get out of here.
We're out of time.
Let's get out of here, yeah.
Thanks very much for listening.
