Fatbergs, scallops, stealing stuff from your dad's work, gay night, all of it, all of it,
it's all in here, the Luke and Pete show, how you doing? I'm Pete, joined by Luke, hello,
we're doing this again, it's a Thursday, Yeah. How you doing? Ready for the weekend? What are you going to do?
I'm living for the weekend.
I'm living for the weekend.
Because I get to use all the stuff across the weekend that my father stole from his workplace.
Do you know the man from Hard Fire, Richard Archer, is part of a new outfit called Soap?
No, I didn't know that.
Well, there you go.
I'd forgotten about Hard Fire completely.
Living for the weekend. They're the Rony boys, aren't they?
If you're ever drinking a Rony, I think of Hard Fire. Peroni. Living for the week. They're the ronny boys, aren't they? If you're ever drinking a ronny, I think of hard five.
Peroni.
Living for the weekend.
Do people shorten peroni to ronny?
Yes, get on the ronnies.
That's quite interesting
because a lot of Italians
will shorten words,
but they don't shorten it that way around.
They shorten it the other way around.
What?
They call it pers?
Well, they would say,
I mean, they just shorten things,
they say ragazzo, which is kid.
They say ragazzo.
And stronzo, which is arsehole, they say strons. They shorten things they say ragazzo and stronzo
which is arsehole
they say strons
they shorten things
but I didn't know
they shortened it
the other way around
shortening their arseholes
the ronies
when you talk to me
about Richard Archer
whose name I'd forgotten
of hard fire
strong eyebrows
I think of him
being linked romantically
to Scarlett Johansson
really did that happen
I think so yeah
I don't know if it happened
but it was certainly linked
I was fuming at the time the stains massive yeah staining her good reputation to Scarlett Johansson. Really? Did that happen? I think so, yeah. I don't know if it happened, but it was certainly linked.
I was fuming at the time.
The stain's massive.
Yeah.
Staining her good reputation.
You must have... That's the sort of rumour
that if you were Richard Archer,
you would very much
fan those flames,
wouldn't you?
Oh, yeah.
Big time.
Big time.
Pete, you must have
crossed paths with
Hardfly over the years.
They were once in my office
at XFM,
and I just wrote, I defined it,
I think they were recording a show,
and all three of them, three of the main guys,
were kind of huddled around one CRT monitor,
and that's all I sort of remember from Hardfire.
That's my only...
What's a CRT monitor for those of us on...
A cathode ray tube.
Just like TV.
Well, no, because you're imagining a plasma screen,
you're imagining an LCD screen. You're not.
It's one of those big, old, three-dimensional televisions.
People call them CRT monitors, do they?
Yeah, they do.
In the trade.
Yeah, in the trade.
CRT.
My dad would have got a CRT monitor.
In fact, my dad did get me a CRT monitor for his work.
I had it in the bedroom.
My dad's, my first computer, the Amstrad CPC6,
had a screen that was pulled out of a fruit machine,
one of those kind of digital fruit machines,
back in the 80s that my dad pulled out with his bare hands.
And so the casing for the monitor was wood,
which presumably was some kind of fire risk.
I mean, that is incredible.
You don't want a wooden monitor screen.
I don't know how you fit, how your family fitted all these things,
all these mad goings-on into one house.
No. I mean, in my mind, it's just an absolute circus. fit how your family fitted all these things and all these mad goings-on into one house no i mean
in my mind it's just an absolute circus there's gerbils eating each other there's a coal truck
in the living room yeah there's all sorts going on yeah it's a bit wacky in it up north yeah
all better off the tv i mean i might be doing my dad a disservice here and be smirching his good
name but the tv that he blatantly got for me from his work,
again, a Ferguson number,
was on a sort of tall, thin chest of drawers in my bedroom.
Right.
Across the other side of the bedroom.
It wasn't a very big bedroom, of course.
And it was sat on there.
But it used to make, it was an old school TV
and the volume and the brightness and the control
and the contrast and everything was all little dials.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you push the button on the front of the TV,
it made a gigantic noise like it was
not even a click no it was like it went yeah like that so obviously that became a problem
when i wanted something a bit moody but if i wanted to watch something after i wasn't allowed
to have the telly on which is basically any time after i don't know 10 or whatever so but i had
so what i used to do is i used to turn it on with a snooker cue right and
and make a really loud cough at the same time so and then and what i could do is leave the snooker
cue there yeah so if my parents smelt a rat i could then quickly turn it off again because
turning it off made no noise right okay and they would tuck the snooker cue down the side of me
but if not i was able to watch the rerun of red dwarf and everything was everything was
cool and then if they did come in they thought god he loves pool yeah no i i did i did used to play snooker
a lot i used to love it um he's sleeping with his cue he's gonna be the next higgins this is the
latest episode of the luke and peter you are very welcome to join us um it's unplanned really apart
from the emails that you send us and if you would like to do that and be a part of this
foul jamboree it's hello at luke and peachy.com we would love
to hear from you recently we've had talk about um basically just people stealing stuff from work
a guy who had a good vhs player scam going on and that was on monday's show and we've got lots more
besides now um this time around pete i'd like to start with this it's something i read in the times
and i thought you might have some opinion on it and the reason I found it interesting is because
technology has taken over
all our lives
and technology has
fully taken over
your life for some time now
to the point where
you are half man
half internet
and everyone knows that
I mean we talked about
your wires last time around
didn't we
and all that kind of stuff
have you sorted through
those yet?
No, no
they will be buried with me
Right
So I'll be like
one dense copper
vinyl and man.
Well, leave the copper to your next of kin
because it's worth money.
I mean, get money for that.
When I used to work as an electrician's labourer,
we used to refit shopping centres.
Right.
And so the labourers,
the guys who had no skills, basically me,
would go in there and rip all the old cables out.
What they used to say was
that we don't really have any use for those cables so you can keep them so we used to strip them all
back take them to the scrapyard and the guy in there would weigh them and give us money for them
and we'd use that to buy beers after work nice yeah it's quite a good scheme anyway um yeah you
you you need to sort those cables out and i quite like the idea that rather than sort them out when
you moved house last time you just took them all with you? No, I got rid of some. I mean, but I've still got like a big...
The less sentimental ones.
...back under the bed, yeah.
But they're like old ones.
I kind of get a bit emotional about USB wires
that don't exist anymore.
There are some kind of proprietary USB formats
that you just don't see, and they're beautiful.
Frame them.
In their own ways.
Frame them, yeah.
Anyway, so this piece
in the Times,
on that sensitive note,
is from Alice Thompson.
And I quite like it.
I'd like to know your thoughts.
So the quote goes as follows.
Melinda Gates,
you know,
as in Bill Gates' wife.
Melinda and Bill Gates' children
don't have smartphones
and only use a computer
in the kitchen.
Bill spends hours
in his office reading books
while everyone else
is refreshing their homepage. The most sought-after private school in silicon valley the waldorf
school of the peninsula bans electronic devices for the under 11s and teaches the children of
ebay apple uber and google staff to make go-karts um knit and cook mark zuckerberg wants his
daughters to read dr seuss and play outside rather than use any of his messenger apps
steve jobs strictly limited his children's use of technology at home it's astonishing if you Mark Zuckerberg wants his daughters to read Dr. Seuss and play outside rather than use any of his messenger apps.
Steve Jobs strictly limited his children's use of technology at home.
It's astonishing if you think about it.
The more money you make out of the tech industry, the more you appear to shield your family from its effect.
What are you going to do with your children, Pete?
Well, I imagine those kids will be ostracized as pariahs
because they can't use the internet in many ways.
So yeah, I'll probably just be,
I don't really get the anger
that people have about,
you know,
kids using their phones.
You know,
it'll all settle down.
It's fine.
Will you,
you'll be happy for your children
to use as much of it as they want?
Again,
it's a very,
yeah,
I mean,
my parents just let me get on with it.
But again,
the technology then wasn't that great,
was it?
Yeah, but I used it a lot.
What were you talking?
Hours and hours, mate.
Hours and hours.
I need to punch the mic.
Yeah.
Getting passionate about it.
So when you have children,
you will let them just use whatever they want.
Yeah, I...
As soon as your baby's born,
you'll stick in a VR headset straight on their head.
Yeah, exactly.
On their little soft head.
VR can provide a better level of life than i can yeah just let them get on with it
yeah hooked into tron yeah i could feed them for the next 18 years or i could give them a virtual
reality thing 200 quid and they'll think they're being fed they'll be fine yeah okay that's
interesting because i feel quite um i feel like it probably has been i think it definitely has
been a contributor to like a
lack of attention span in me yeah hugely yeah i'm yeah i'm dreadful i mean what was it gonna um
i think i've already said it on the show before but i think the head of either bbc or itv comedy
used to get something like 20 scripts a week for sitcoms and stuff like that right and uh now they
get they're lucky if they get one or two. Really? Because people just haven't got
the sustain,
they can't sustain it.
They're laying the feet generally
at writers indulging in pornography,
to be honest.
But the BBC are also people
who socially,
social media-wise,
will say,
oh yeah,
the clips have got to be a minute long
and they've got to be two minutes long
because otherwise,
and it's like a self-fulfilling thing.
People just have decided
that no one's got
an attention span
so then they play
to that crowd
and therefore you never see
any long form stuff anymore.
I think the whole debate
about attention span
in kids is dull.
Kids read more
than they ever have before.
You know,
they probably don't play outside
quite so much
but, you know,
the outside's scary,
isn't it?
You can't spend 20 years
scaring kids,
paedophiles and bloody terrorists,
and then expect that they wouldn't hide inside
and just socially reach out through their computers.
And the worst of that would be a paedophile
who's also a terrorist.
Imagine that.
Imagine a militant paedophile.
Yeah.
I've already named
an episode recently
the bad boy of perverts
which is what you
referred to yourself
as last week
so we should probably
leave that one there
I wanted to start off
with an email though
from Mike Gibson
and this is an email
that slipped through the net
on the more recent shows
do you want to hit an ad break
for that Steve
it's a bit early for that
I think we'll do an ad break
after this
I said to you
a while back
that in my
experience or from what I know that food critics I said to you a while back that in my experience
or from what I know
that food critics
don't like white chocolate.
Do you remember?
Yes, it's too sweet.
Yeah.
I watched an episode of MasterChef
and they were doing something
with white chocolate
and with cream
and I never watched MasterChef.
I love it.
I absolutely love it.
But I think,
who's the guy who did
Fatless Vindaloo?
Oh, Keith Allen.
Keith Allen.
I think he used some white chocolate and they went,
it's too sweet.
And it is too sweet.
Keith Allen was awful.
On MasterChef, there's Keith Allen.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think who else is on the show.
The current series is Celebrity MasterChef.
Yeah, Celebrity MasterChef.
So you've got Keith Allen.
I can't remember anybody else, but there's a tall man.
Oh, the massive rugby player guy.
I thought he was a rugby player.
Yeah, Scottish rugby player.
English, I think, English. He's six foot ten. And every time he would be serving the food, but there's a tall man oh the massive rugby player guy I thought he was a rugby player yeah Scottish rugby player I thought he was English
I think English
he's 6 foot 10
and every time
he would be serving the food
someone would make a joke
about his height
tall lads
do email in
how bored are you
of every single person
you meet in this world
mentioning your height
there was a line
there was a line
there was a line
in that episode
where he went to a professional kitchen
and the chef
who he was working with
said oh you know
you have to watch your head
and I really wanted him to say
what you think I'm not tall
like this every day
I've chosen to be tall
for this one day
mind the dots
yeah
it happens to me quite a lot
you're not that tall
6'3
taller than
taller than
I would say most people
it's rare for me
to be looking up
at someone in a conversation
right
and people do say that to you like if you go and stay in like a B&B or something which I don't know up at someone in the conversation right and people do
say that to you like if you go and stay in like a b&b or something which i don't know what always
happens in the b&b possibly because a lot of the buildings are old they always say you know mind
your head it's like yeah i know to mind my head if you want if you want to warn someone about
minding their head it's short people because they're not used to doing it right okay yeah
it doesn't make any sense anyway mike gibson's been in touch reference white chocolate and he
says uh hi guys i'm hearing you mention white chocolate on episode 91.
I thought I'd share a rib of knowledge,
that probably should be a nib of knowledge,
about how white chocolate differs to milk and dark chocolate.
My understanding of the process is that essentially to make chocolate,
the cacao beans are extracted from the cacao plant,
then fermented in open air and dried,
before the cacao nib is extracted and roasted.
Under heat, this becomes liquefied.
The liquid is then separated into cocoa solids and cocoa butter,
and this is where the two types differ.
Milk or dark chocolate uses both cocoa solids and cocoa butter
mixed with milk, sugar, and other components,
whereas white chocolate uses the cocoa butter alone,
which has a lightly cocoa-like flavor,
but no cocoa solids.
White chocolate is then usually
flavored with vanilla finally on your latter point i'm not a food critic as such but i do edit a food
magazine while i'm usually obliged to play praise the virtues of artisanal produce painstakingly
handcrafted with a little uh with as little industrialization as possible chocolate is the
one area in which i'm a complete basic bitch, and I absolutely love white chocolate. I can't stand 76% cocoa Ecuadorian single origin chocolate bars.
To me, they taste like the juice of a Bexel battery.
Give me a 12 Galaxy or Milky bar any day.
Cheers, Mike Gibson.
Milky bars are all right, but they're quite thin and light.
I like MG on Twitter.
Oh, do you know him?
No, no, but he's tweeted a couple of times.
Why don't you follow him then if you like him?
I think I do.
Oh, do you?
Okay.
I don't know.
I barely read Twitter.
I just retweet other shit.
You're always on send, you.
That's your problem.
What's that?
What do you mean?
You're always just sending stuff, not receiving.
Yeah, sounds bad.
The problem with, so the Milky Bar for me.
Because my Ethernet cable isn't a twisted pair.
Yeah, true.
My problem with the Milky Bar is it falls into that section for me who is a
larger man that i need to if i need to eat more than one of it to it for it to feel like to affect
you yeah there's no point getting it isn't it yeah so i wouldn't eat more than one snickers
but i would eat more than one whisper for example right okay yeah it's half air for god's sake
tell her to the doctor you got diabetes it's half air for crying out you fool
you damn fool milky bars are the same,
aren't they?
I haven't had a milky bar
for years,
but they are quite
sort of lightweight,
aren't they?
We've got a little fridge here
where we keep our,
to be honest,
beers,
because we're sponsored
by beer companies
every now and again.
And you bloody love craft beer,
don't you?
I love craft beer.
And there's a little box
of chocolate.
Hang on,
the chocolates have gone.
You ate all of them?
Spellsies, Adam.
No, you ate all of them.
No, I didn't. I've been piling through them, but occasionally, because they were l have gone you ate all of them spelsies Adam no you ate all of them no I didn't
I've been piling through them
but occasionally
because they were lints
you'd unwrap them
and then some of them
would be white chocolate
it'd be like
oh gross
I thought you just said
you quite like white
oh you like milky bar
I like milky bar
alright should we have
a little ad break
and you can go
and find some more chocolate
yeah
so Sheikh
you're telling me
that drinking camel's
durian is part of the
din
don't get me wrong
don't get him wrong
don't get him wrong
have you got an email lined up Peter I'm just typing in the theme. Ach, you don't get me wrong. Ah, don't get him wrong. Don't get him wrong.
Have you got an email lined up, Peter?
I'm just typing in the old ad time,
so why don't you just crack on if you've got one?
Okay, people will probably get fed up of hearing about me.
What about this then?
This is another anonymous email,
so apologies if I've left your name off,
but you haven't appeared to include it.
It's about chicken, I think.
Chicken.
Hi, lads.
Talk of knock-off fast food places reminded me of a chippy I saw
on a recent trip to London.
So we were talking about
the fact that chicken shops
are massive in London,
but they don't appear to be massive
really anywhere else in the UK.
Sam's Chicken Chicken
in Kentish Town.
Big fan of that.
Morley's down in South London.
Famous.
Nice.
Bit of a national institution.
That'll be a World Heritage site soon.
And he sent an email that says
not sure of the story behind it
but for some reason or another
perfect fried chicken
in Chapel Hill
was forced to change its name
in what can only be seen
as utter content
for the force of the name change
Chippy went to the minimal effort
of changing the first letter
leaving us with the triumphant new name
Furfect Fried Chicken
well they just knocked off
a bit of the P
and he's attached a photo
so you can see how obvious
they wanted the name change to look they've basically just taken the little bit out the bit of the P. And he's attached to a photo so you can see how obvious they wanted the
name change to look.
They've basically
just taken the little
bit out the middle
of the P to make
it an F.
Perfect fried
chicken.
Perfect fried
chicken.
I'd go there.
Perfect.
It's thrifty.
It's perfect,
isn't it?
I mean, look,
they're passing
on the savings
to you.
Yeah.
What's the
chicken like?
Pretty nice.
I got
Falmonella.
Hello to Mark
who says,
Hi, gents.
Since Luke mentioned about Maldon Sea Salt,
I think I might have mentioned Maldon Sea Salt.
Yeah, you're trying to stitch me up.
Do you want to tell people the story?
Luke was once on a...
An advertorial.
An advertorial, a bit of branded content about Maldon Sea Salt.
I'm not really sure how that happened or why it happened,
but it happened.
And the best thing about it was I did not get paid very much.
I feel he
has summoned me to your inbox like the batman distress signal um i listened to your pods the
day they write my inbox however this past week or so i've been on holiday so i had myself a little
omnibus on the way back from work that's right treat yourself i mean that's a bit much it's hard
enough recording two at a time so i, I sometimes in my mind get confused between
an omnibus and an ombudsman.
Right.
So if you complain
to the ombudsman,
that's not as good.
If you're listening to an omnibus.
Yeah, you won't get anywhere.
Complain to the playbus.
Yeah.
Omnibuses used to be,
I'll tell you what,
in the 90s,
omnibuses used to be all the rage.
All the soap shows.
We'd have an omnibus, yeah.
You'd get them all
stitched together
on a Sunday afternoon.
EastEnders I think does that,
doesn't it?
Not anymore, surely. EastEnders and omnibus. It's cheap programming all stitched together on a Sunday afternoon. EastEnders, I think, does that, doesn't it? Not anymore, surely.
EastEnders is an omnibus.
It's cheap programming, isn't it?
I'm thinking EastEnders...
You can catch up.
Yeah, but the people
would complain about the charter.
Would Newcastle,
would Neighbours
ever do an omnibus?
I was about to say Neighbours
and Home and Away, possibly.
My mate Jimmy
still loves Home and Away.
He watches it all the time.
I used to be a big fan
of Neighbours back in the day.
I was saying, everyone was.
That was on...
You might be getting confused
because that was on the afternoon and then later in the day. Oh, same. Everyone was. You might be getting confused because that was on in the afternoon
and then later in the afternoon, wasn't it?
It was on at like 1pm and then 5pm.
Was that yesterday's show or was it the same show?
No, same show but earlier in the day, yeah.
Geoff Lloyd, who used to do Absolute Now,
he does a bit of Radio 2 and Radio 5.
He does a show with his co-conspirator Annabel Pott
and they were talking about Mamma Mia 2,
the new Mamma Mia film.
All right, yeah.
And apparently, in that, they go to, I think the main, who's the main kind of British guy?
Mr. Darcy.
Oh, Colin Firth.
I think Colin Firth might be in that film.
I think he might be in that film.
Anyway, a character like that goes to Tokyo for a meeting with Mr. Udagawa.
Now, Udagawa is a name, you know, I'm a big fan of Japan. You don't hear it very often. It's not a name that's that popular with Mr. Udagawa now Udagawa is a name you know
I'm a big fan of Japan
you don't hear it very often
it's not a name
that's that popular
Mr. Udagawa
what would be like
a popular name
say again
what would be a popular name
in Japan
I don't know
I've stitched you up there
Muto
Muto
because he just signed
Yoshinori
he just signed for Newcastle
Yoshinori Muto
okay
and
yeah
you'd never hear
Mr. Udagawa but he so Mamma Mia had a character called Mr. Udagawa Mamma Mia's going to Tokyo for a meeting with Mr. Udagawa
but he
so Mamma Mia
had a character
called Mr. Udagawa
Mamma Mia's gone to Tokyo
for a meeting
with Mr. Udagawa
and Jeff tweeted
the director of the film
or the writer of the film
sort of saying
was that a Neighbours reference
and he went
yeah it was
so to speak
what is a character
called Neighbours called that
so whoever
I think it was
who sang
gotta make you feel good
oh
Stefan Dennis
Stefan Dennis
I think Stefan Dennis
which is not his character's name
it's called Paul Robinson
Paul Robinson
Paul Robinson used to go to
Tokyo quite a lot
for a meet with Mr. Udagawa
oh okay right
oh nice
it's a great little easter egg
Mr. Udagawa
I remember not watching Neighbours
for about 10 years
they were flicking it back on
and Paul Robinson
Stefan Dennis
had like a wooden leg or something
oh right
he came back and
forth didn't he
remember
did he used to
go out with one
of the twins
yeah
weird
anyway
this email from
Mark
is talking about
yeah
basically
this story is all
about him
fainting all of
the time
he's in secondary
school
there's an assembly
on knife crime
the police are in
showing some gory
images trying to
deter us.
I suddenly felt a bit lightheaded, got up mid-assembly,
and basically just absolutely collapsed.
Second event, an apprenticeship scheme
in which students were put into brick-clad cubicles
and shown how to tile, paint, saw wood, etc.
One day, one of these students pretty much sawed his finger off.
Oh, God.
He's getting lightheaded just thinking about it now.
We all thought it was hilarious, and I watched him receive treatment.
Again, I felt a bit funny.
I was asking my mate if he did too.
He didn't.
He fell.
He fainted.
He's just constantly fainting, this guy.
Do you remember the guy who you might have wanted to get wheeled out of the class
after fainting in a wheelbarrow?
Yes, that's right there.
Well, basically, he's having problems when we mention gory things on the show that he feels a bit like.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay.
So this will help him out.
This genuinely happened.
A friend of mine at school, Adam, we were doing home economics or whatever, and we were being taught how to sew.
Yeah.
With the sewing machine.
Oh.
Yeah.
And genuinely, and genuinely,
and listen, mate,
I take no pleasure in your fainting,
so if you want to turn this off,
no, you can,
but it's relevant,
so I'm going to tell the story.
He wasn't paying attention
and he put the sewing needle
on the machine
like through his fingernail
and at the bottom
of his finger
like about two or three times
before it stopped.
So it was a tidy little saw,
tidy little saw.
With like thread
through it and stuff.
They're so powerful,
aren't they?
Yeah.
I was watching a guy do something with a,
he had like a,
he had a,
he had a chopstick
and I can't remember
what he was doing.
He was like,
he was doing like a trick,
I think a magic trick,
but he smashes his hand
through this chopstick.
So the chopstick's
pointing into the palm
of his hand
and because there are
no muscles in your hand,
it's just all tendons.
It came out the back of his hand, like, are no muscles in your hand it's just all tendons it came out the back
of his hand
but there was still
like a tent
like a little skin teepee
of his
oh but
so it didn't break
it didn't break the skin
on either side
but it just went through
in between the bones
part of the bones
part of the tendons
and just went straight
through the top of his hand
and I think you can
kind of do that
without really hurting yourself let's not do that it's sore and don't do it that's the next social
media video i know right but this uh so basically uh mark from uh malden that's why he brings up
malden seesaw okay i work in an office and was recently collaborating on a project with one of
the trainees i just recently turned 18 years old we were looking through various documentation when
suddenly i saw an email pop in his inbox. Of course, I shouldn't have looked,
but the mind wanders, doesn't it?
What was suddenly etched across his screen
was an email from Pornhub telling him
that his subscription had run out.
This would have been relatively acceptable
if it was his own personal email.
This was his work email.
Oh, my goodness.
Who subscribes to Pornhub?
No, why would you?
Who needs a paper trail?
There was a guy at my old workplace
that I won't name
who got busted and sacked
for having porn found on his work computer.
I remember my first work experience job
in Eskom, which is a computer shop.
One of the engineers
had pornography on his machine,
but it was like late 90s porn.
So it was probably an animated gif or something.
And it took about three days to come through.
Yeah, it was incredible.
I like the way that
you use the word
machine for computer
as well.
Yeah.
It's very switched on.
Programming a machine
code.
What about this email?
Who was that last
email from by the way?
That was Mark from
Malden I believe.
Thanks Mark.
This is a good one
from Sam in Harrogate
which sounds like it
would be a rough place
but it's actually
really nice.
Oh, Harrogate.
It's a spa town, isn't it?
Yeah, it's very nice.
He says,
Chaps, not sure if you've discussed the butterfly effect on the show before, not the film, but I think it's actually really nice oh Harrogate it's a spa town isn't it yeah it's very nice he says chaps not sure if you've discussed
the butterfly effect
on the show before
not the film
but I think it's ripe for conversation
is the butterfly effect film
not about the butterfly effect though
I think it is
so it's connected isn't it
he doesn't want to discuss that
particularly
with Josh Hartnett
I believe
and someone else
no I think it's Ashton Kutcher
you know
is it
those two were in it
changeable back in the day
weren't they
if you can't afford one
get the other in
it's like Hugh Bonneville
and Colin Firth
yeah I'd have that
could Colin Firth
play the dad in Paddington
yes he could
but they've got Hugh Bonneville
maybe Colin Firth was busy
I thought Colin Firth
was in Paddington
or was he just in the first one
what
I haven't seen the first one
why have you seen the second one
it's supposed to be really good
I'm not
sorry people
I backed myself
not to be lost
by the narrative
of Paddington fucking Bear.
I didn't really understand it though.
No, I did.
And also in the 90s,
I think maybe actually the 80s,
the old chat was
if you couldn't afford
Ted Danson,
get Steve Guttenberg.
Right, okay, yeah.
That was the chat.
Anyway, this is from Sam.
He says,
yeah, the butterfly effect.
My favourite example
of this in action
is that Kim Kardashian's fame
is the indirect result
of a bad
pass in an american football game in 1970 the buffalo bills narrowly lost the game due to a
bad pass thus being the worst performing team that year and getting the first pick in the draft
they chose a young fellow by the name of oranthal james simpson oj simpson which brought him to
buffalo and then subsequently to san francisco in the west coast where he met his future wife
nicole brown in la and in 1994 was on trial for her murder as we know he was defended by Robert
Kardashian who then became well known because of that and the rest is history so if you've got
some examples of that I like that the butterfly effect in action the sliding doors type scenario
at hello at lukeandpeach.com we'd love to hear from that's a very good one have you seen the
death I think we spoke about this so I've seen the death I think have you seen the death
photos from the scene
of that particular crime
yeah I've seen the
the OJ versus
what's it called
I can't remember
the name of the
documentary
OJ versus the people
or something
10 paths
it's brilliant
it's really
really comprehensive
the pictures of
like their throats
are out
like both of them
both of the guys
like
yeah
and yet
he was
oh the whole thing
is absolutely mental
the whole thing is absolutely mental.
The whole thing is... Mental.
It's clearly a crime or passion.
I'd never seen any of the murder pictures before.
But the interesting part of the documentary I found
was how the defence framed it,
which was framed it as in made it about the wider issue
about black versus white in the West Coast of the US
and particularly LA and that part of LA
and that part of the world at that time.
It was their only play, to be honest.
Yeah.
Because, you know, their throat,
like it was clearly a crime of passion
and their throats were,
and this, you know, young waiter just murdered.
Where were you at the time, Pete?
You could have sorted the whole thing out.
But it's really worth watching that documentary series.
Put the glove on me.
Is it called OJ
versus the people
I don't know
people versus OJ
something like that
it's about eight or
nine parter it's
really really long
it's fantastic
because I was
reading about
something recently
on there was a
day in 1994
in like it might
have been the
17th of June
something like that
and it was like
one of the most
I'm probably going
to get this wrong
but bear with me one of the most dramatic'm probably going to get this wrong but bear with me
one of the most dramatic
NBA final games in history
there's a Stanley Cup match
as well isn't there
there's a Stanley Cup match maybe
there was the opening game
of the World Cup
in USA 94
and the OJ Simpson car chase
was all happening
on the same day
I was watching
Wrestlemania 12
I think
where it's
that must have been about 94 Rowdy Rowdy Piper it was 96 I think Rowdy it's... That must have been about 94.
Rowdy, Rowdy Piper.
It was 96, I think.
Rowdy, Rowdy Piper versus Goldberg.
No, Goldust.
Goldust.
Goldust.
He roars his song.
And because we do a podcast called Wrestle Me,
and I recommend it.
But they used footage,
because basically there's a car chase in it.
Rowdy Piper's chasing Goldust
to teach him how to be a man
a lot of homophobia
in that
in this thing
and
yeah
they used footage
from the chase
the police chase
my god
he's in like
some of the stuff
like WWF
some of the stuff
WWF got away with
in that period of time
shocked me to my very core
and that's why
he doesn't wrestle me
because even if you
don't like wrestling
the shit they got away with is incredible I agree it's very very core and that's why he doesn't wrestle me because even if you don't like wrestling the shit they got away with
is incredible
I agree
it's very very interesting
and we're almost
coming up to episode 100 Pete
