Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:36 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
Starting point is 00:01:05 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.
Starting point is 00:01:19 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.
Starting point is 00:01:31 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
Starting point is 00:01:49 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
Starting point is 00:01:57 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Right, okay. Remember that? Bit of Tony Hawk. Oh, yeah, okay. The skateboarder, not the sort of... The hawk. Yeah, broadcast. Tony the hawk.
Starting point is 00:02:22 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,
Starting point is 00:02:37 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
Starting point is 00:02:50 unfamiliar, JAV I think stands for Japanese Adult Video. Oh God. And basically this person goes around looking at or
Starting point is 00:02:59 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.
Starting point is 00:03:13 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.
Starting point is 00:03:33 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
Starting point is 00:03:48 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?
Starting point is 00:04:04 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
Starting point is 00:04:26 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.
Starting point is 00:04:40 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Well, exactly. Because like, yeah, I mean, you don't see the penis, you don't see the vagina. So like,
Starting point is 00:04:56 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?
Starting point is 00:05:17 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.
Starting point is 00:05:45 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.
Starting point is 00:05:55 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.
Starting point is 00:06:09 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
Starting point is 00:06:24 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.
Starting point is 00:06:35 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?
Starting point is 00:06:52 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,
Starting point is 00:07:08 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,
Starting point is 00:07:25 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.
Starting point is 00:07:39 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
Starting point is 00:07:49 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
Starting point is 00:07:56 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
Starting point is 00:08:05 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
Starting point is 00:08:09 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
Starting point is 00:08:17 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
Starting point is 00:08:26 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
Starting point is 00:08:36 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
Starting point is 00:08:45 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
Starting point is 00:09:01 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.
Starting point is 00:09:15 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
Starting point is 00:09:23 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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,
Starting point is 00:10:05 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
Starting point is 00:10:12 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
Starting point is 00:10:20 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,
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:47 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
Starting point is 00:10:55 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
Starting point is 00:11:04 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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.
Starting point is 00:11:51 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.
Starting point is 00:12:04 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,
Starting point is 00:12:12 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.
Starting point is 00:12:21 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
Starting point is 00:12:29 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
Starting point is 00:12:39 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
Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:25 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.
Starting point is 00:13:42 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
Starting point is 00:13:55 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
Starting point is 00:14:02 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?
Starting point is 00:14:27 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.
Starting point is 00:14:48 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
Starting point is 00:15:05 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?
Starting point is 00:15:50 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.
Starting point is 00:16:10 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
Starting point is 00:16:37 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.
Starting point is 00:16:56 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,
Starting point is 00:17:09 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.
Starting point is 00:17:20 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...
Starting point is 00:17:48 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,
Starting point is 00:17:56 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.
Starting point is 00:18:18 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.
Starting point is 00:18:31 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
Starting point is 00:18:46 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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
Starting point is 00:19:21 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
Starting point is 00:19:30 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...
Starting point is 00:19:39 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.
Starting point is 00:19:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Right. Okay. No, I don't think so. Okay. Right. I've got a load of, I've got a collection of,
Starting point is 00:19:56 um, seven inch singles from all over the place, really different, um, different, uh, eras. Uh,
Starting point is 00:20:04 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
Starting point is 00:20:13 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
Starting point is 00:20:21 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
Starting point is 00:20:40 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
Starting point is 00:20:53 he's a sort of big pink I think I can picture him definitely like second tier kind of Nintendo character
Starting point is 00:20:59 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
Starting point is 00:21:09 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.
Starting point is 00:21:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:45 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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...
Starting point is 00:22:06 I'm going to Google it now. Yeah, just Funko Pops. Basically, they have, you know, grabbed every IP going and made a version
Starting point is 00:22:16 of the Funko Pops. Oh, no, I have seen those. Yeah, yeah. And made a version from wrestling to video games to TV shows.
Starting point is 00:22:22 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
Starting point is 00:22:29 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
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:22:47 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.
Starting point is 00:23:03 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
Starting point is 00:23:19 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.
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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
Starting point is 00:23:56 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
Starting point is 00:24:04 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.
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:24:47 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
Starting point is 00:24:54 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.
Starting point is 00:25:02 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.
Starting point is 00:25:19 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.
Starting point is 00:25:33 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
Starting point is 00:25:45 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
Starting point is 00:25:59 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
Starting point is 00:26:13 that my best mate told me that he picked his wife out of a magazine apparently so yeah
Starting point is 00:26:21 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
Starting point is 00:26:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:34 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
Starting point is 00:26:42 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
Starting point is 00:27:04 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
Starting point is 00:27:18 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
Starting point is 00:27:40 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.
Starting point is 00:27:59 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:28:29 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
Starting point is 00:28:36 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
Starting point is 00:28:42 are in your remote, but I found some real gems. Amongst the other hundreds of everyday batteries were these. Chameleon, spelled incorrectly, always ready.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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
Starting point is 00:28:59 realised it's chameleon. What a shimmer. Yeah. Universal Electronics GP1800. Chevron. I think we've had Chevron before, which I quite like.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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.
Starting point is 00:29:17 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
Starting point is 00:29:25 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
Starting point is 00:29:31 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
Starting point is 00:29:37 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,
Starting point is 00:29:45 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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,
Starting point is 00:30:03 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.
Starting point is 00:30:27 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
Starting point is 00:30:36 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
Starting point is 00:30:44 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.
Starting point is 00:30:59 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.
Starting point is 00:31:10 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.
Starting point is 00:31:24 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.
Starting point is 00:31:44 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
Starting point is 00:31:51 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
Starting point is 00:31:58 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
Starting point is 00:32:05 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
Starting point is 00:32:12 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
Starting point is 00:32:20 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.
Starting point is 00:32:27 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
Starting point is 00:32:35 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.
