Starting point is 00:00:00 We're back with the Luke and Pete Short. I'm being Donaldson joined by Mr. Lucie Moore. How are you doing, my friends? We're going to do a lot of emails there this time. I think we should. I think we need to empty our sack like Santa of letters and emails and stuff. So interesting enough, the next time people hear from us it will be Christmas Day.
Starting point is 00:00:25 What? You heard me. Who's doing that? A dirty Christmas dear treat. We have to work out what we're going to talk about. work out what we're going to talk about. Maybe we'll just do a completely normal show so people can have a break from Christmas. Exactly. We'll talk about summertime, like what you're doing the summer. Went to see, uh, went to visit Paddington on the South Bank at the weekend, Luke. Do you want, do you go to the production or the store? Not the theatre. There's a, uh, experiential
Starting point is 00:00:46 kind of Paddington, um, uh, thing that's taking place. And it was, it was basically next to the London Dungeon. You know where the London Dungeons has been re-positioned from London Bridge? It's now in. All those out of work actors out there trying to be funny. It's now in, it's now next to the wheel. And the, uh, you go in, basically, and... Where the, but the Shrek experience is? Yes, it's the next to the Shrek experience. Um, which sounds, it also sounds great.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Um, so, went in and, uh, you get in the Paddington's train. Paddinger's lost his suitcase, look. Oh, what? It's got the recipe for Marmalade sandwiches. Did you just go on your own to this, yeah? Yeah. Um, uh, 45 minutes late. They were running late because apparently the man who supposed to turn everything on didn't come and turn everything on.
Starting point is 00:01:29 in the morning. That is Bermin. You were rolling your sleeves that way. I'll get in there. I'll get in there. Get your wrench out.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Where are we next? Peru. The, as we get on the train and we get on the train and then we suddenly arrive at I don't know who the family are who owned, the Bonds.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Are they the Bonds? I don't know. Is it a Bonfire? I don't know. They're fucking... I enjoyed both the movies but I can't tell you that too many detail.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Anyway, so they've got a young last plane, the mom wearing like hippie-dipy clothes and she's... And you shut off. So this is live action. Live action. It's like a mercy of theatre experience.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Yeah, she comes in. She's like, I've got to, I think she was talking about maybe creating something for Christmas, I'm not sure. And she was, I've got, Paul,
Starting point is 00:02:07 he's bunting up and all stuff. And it's just like, that's fucking, it's posh in it, Pannington. Yeah, so that was doing me now in a bit. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:02:15 you go in and this is Padding's house. It's done out like the film. So it's, you know, beautifully done. Nice he'd put together. I'd even go, if you didn't have a kid and you were just a fan of Panning from the film.
Starting point is 00:02:22 How many people do they let in at once? Probably about 20, 20 people I would say And you're getting in Oh, Padding has made a real mess in the kitchen He's put paint everywhere And then you can see you've got to rearrange He's a bit of escape room
Starting point is 00:02:36 He's got to rearrange his pictures of Paddington To, for some reason And then you can hear Paddington in the next room He's always in the next room Yeah, always in the next room And he's always like dropping paint cans And you know, set and fight stuff in the kitchen And then this Scottish woman comes in
Starting point is 00:02:52 She takes us in the kitchen And we've got to do chores in the kitchen and I'm tired but it was very good then I don't know what happened something happens I wasn't really listening we're in the larder
Starting point is 00:03:02 then a wall of the larder disappears and we're in Peru and my daughter's got to find all of the oranges to make the mamanade huh this sounds pretty good it was really good it was really good
Starting point is 00:03:14 but um posh a lot of posh a lot of posh actors actors acting posh do you actually see paddington at the end at the very end you finally get
Starting point is 00:03:23 the kudagr art is an animatronic Paddington with I'd kind of think they could have done it better better than I've got loads of actors in different you know they're done on safari and you know all doing different stuff and then at the end when you see Paddington next to it him, them is in
Starting point is 00:03:40 it's just a person like a security card they're just standing there with an earpiece as if you sort of go do not touch fucking Paddington if you touch Paddington you're in big trouble I wonder it's the same people who did the Pannington Bear production thing It's in no way as realized, let's say, the animatronic. It's interesting you used the phrase coup de grace.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah, for that. Because coup de grace, according to the dictionary, it's a finisher, isn't it? The final blow or shot given to kill a wounded personal animal. Exactly. That how you felt. That's how I felt. Let's get out of here.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I want another hot dog. But, yeah, and then you get to see Paddington, they leave. It was really magical. Was it fun for the whole family? It was fun for the whole family, especially the smallest of the whole family. So I've got a little theory about this.
Starting point is 00:04:21 I may have mentioned to you before, but I'll just re-up it if I have. People will forgive me, I'm sure, at this time of year. They'll be charitable about it. Isn't it interesting how the massive increase in immersive experiences for human beings in this country, I don't know about other countries, it seems to be totally relentless.
Starting point is 00:04:41 It's almost as if to me it feels like people can't get happy in their actual lives so they need to escape all the time to secret cinema immersive experiences all this kind of other stuff that goes on can't you say that about everything though no I don't think so I think television drugs I think yeah sure but I think it's really recently it's been
Starting point is 00:05:02 become everywhere that kind of stuff everything's like an immersive experience these days it's the old bum bum train and they started that off didn't they you saw the bum bum bum train that was like a kind of quite a fancy kind of popular immersive theatre experience
Starting point is 00:05:17 back of the day and like you couldn't get tickets of London money I didn't go on the end I never heard of it Yeah, it's like in a big warehouse in sort of east London. It was really, really successful. But everywhere you go in London now. Crystal Mays, life-size monopoly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Like an escape room. But it's half, like, a bit of community sort of stuff. It's competitive, because people have to be competitive these days. And also, and the third thing is, it's very Instagrammable. Yeah, that's true. Hey, look, I'm in the TV show that I like. I just think there's something in the escapism of it. I went to one recently.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I got bought a couple of tickets for a thing called Frameless. What the fuck is frameless? So you go to a gallery. near Marble Arch and rather than going to see say Vincent Van Gogh's self-portrait which of course is in some gallery somewhere else Oh, it's big screens.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Yes, they have a massive almost warehouse-sized room and you stand in the middle of it and the painting comes to life and it kind of washes over you with these sounds and obviously these colours and these things. Yeah, it's really interesting but they've got maybe six or seven
Starting point is 00:06:19 them in the same complex. Right. So there'll be a big Ruben's kind of I guess what's Rubin's I don't know post impressionist or impressionist whatever that kind of thing
Starting point is 00:06:28 and the whole thing will just wash over you over and again you go into the next room and it's a different type of art like a Da Vinci or something or the Mona Lisa or something right it's kind of interesting
Starting point is 00:06:38 but my point being that like people for some reason love that immersive shit these days I don't know they always I just another thing to kind of I just think LED technology has sort of gotten so good projector technology's gotten so good
Starting point is 00:06:51 these days because it used to be like you see it's quite good tech as well then yeah I think it's the advances of sort of come along that you can have really really bright
Starting point is 00:06:58 projectors these days that do some crazy stuff that are like really high definition I suppose they're really expensive but you can always hear the fans as well and if there's anything like
Starting point is 00:07:07 when there's the fans on the projector to keep it cool we should give people the do you know what I thought about the frame list thing I thought it was a really cool thing for say I don't know
Starting point is 00:07:18 pre-teens to introduce them to art in an exciting way because I think if you're someone who has grown up in the generation that is now I think it probably would for a younger person be like a little bit boring just looking at a painting I kind of understand what that would be
Starting point is 00:07:33 they're not going to appreciate it whereas if you can introduce them in that way it might be quite exciting it's genuinely really well done yeah like I think of the electricity bill though I know we should do an immersive luc and peacho experience what would it be
Starting point is 00:07:42 you start sitting around and moaning about how tired we are there'd be a bread man it'd be yeah there'd be a toilet in the column of the room. Explain to people that guy? A policeman emailed in saying that there was a man who would go around public toilets with loves of bread smearing, not smearing, wiping the bread on the
Starting point is 00:08:01 toilet seat and then eating the bread. Yeah, we were pretty unclear about what crime has been committed there, weren't we? I think indecency has to be, public decency has to be... What with bread? Yeah, but like, you're eating... Have you got his old... You're eating toilet bread in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:08:19 That is a public nuisance at the bare minute Is he got his old man out while he's doing it? I think any judge I think there's a lot of leeway with public indecency I think any judge worth his bread would be
Starting point is 00:08:30 would sort of say that that that is a challenging image Anyone would be appalled Yeah They're like I think it's more It's not and very much like London You know never swing at someone who's got nothing to lose
Starting point is 00:08:42 It's like if they're doing that If that's their entree What will be their Kudegra one might suggest. You're going to concerned about what direction it's going to go What direction it's going? If that's his
Starting point is 00:08:55 If that's the thing he's doing quietly and furtively by himself What's he working up to? You know? That guy was eating That was a guy was eating toilet bread And he moved on The bread around the toilet seat
Starting point is 00:09:06 And eating it Yeah It's just The thing I can't get past about it was obviously disgusting But it's just so specific Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:14 It's just so specific Like if you hear How do you discover the love for that? Oh, I would love to eat that It's very creative Because I mean Is our some bread's better for it People are into what they're into right
Starting point is 00:09:28 Would a bryosh not be better Because at least you get the sweetness of the bread And it would be soft and yielding And maybe he's thinking about carbs The things that annoy me When people serve up brioch as a burger bun As they don't toast the bun And it falls apart
Starting point is 00:09:41 Right The beauty of a brioch for a burger You'd simply have to You toast it To hold together Or you Or you, what I would do Where you buy your brioch from
Starting point is 00:09:48 Sounds like it's got... It sounds like the weather's got to it. Just your commonal garden bryosh brand. But what I'm saying is, if you slice a bryosh bun, my advice would be to everyone... You have to toast it. Spread it with butter.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Right. And then just put it face down, butter side down, the frying powder for a few minutes. Can I interest you... Makes a massive difference. Can I interest you in... On the bun? Thin layer of minas on the bun.
Starting point is 00:10:11 That would do the same job as butter, would it? I think so, yeah. Just fat, fat, salt in it. In the US, it's much more common to use mayonnaise and then it is butter on your sandwich. In my experience. Would you not want both? I do think there's something sort of...
Starting point is 00:10:25 I had a bit of toast without butter. I had jam on toast last week. Oh, without butter. Absolutely terrible. I don't know what it is. Weird. You need that richness. You need that kind of fatty layer.
Starting point is 00:10:37 You need the salt to bring out the flavors. Let's get a quick early breaking because we've got a load of emails to do. So we should just get through to. We should do that. Okay. We're back with the look of Pete show. And as promised, you guys got in touch
Starting point is 00:10:47 via hello link petero.com and we are going to read out some bloody emails a lot of food poisoning chat this week Luke which is still pertinent because you had food poisoning last week and sometimes I feel like oh we're going to miss the boat because we're not going to talk about Pete food poisoning but then I think you know what it always come around
Starting point is 00:11:03 again yeah exactly came around again last night so yeah lovely stuff yeah and we've got a couple of emails yeah we got loads of emails about food poisoning I selected the best three and also got a raccoon related one as well but you want to go ahead and pick one up first and foremost Peter Yeah, that's absolutely fine. I will go with food poisoning one.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Should I just start at the start? They're titled Food Poisoning 1, Food Poisoning 2, and Food Poisoning 2. I'll go with Food Poisoning 1 then. Martin has got in touch. Hello, Martin. Hello, Lung, Pete. Following on from your food poisoning chat this week, I thought to share my own horror I've had to live with
Starting point is 00:11:35 and be brought up at family gatherings over 30 years now. We were finishing a family holiday about when I was 10 years old, and the morning we were flying home, I began to feel rough. I managed to hold it together through the airport and the flight, thankfully. I mean, that is an effort. I couldn't get home last night. I had to stay in a hostel.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Recond this a few days earlier, but, I mean, amazing work. We landed at Manchester Airport and had the stairs down, I had the stairs down at the tarmac to then enter the terminal. I had my dad just ahead of me and had got down the full stairs
Starting point is 00:12:07 before the taps turned on at both ends. Wow. I began shaking my head, probably saying, no, no, no, but this just resulted in an exorcist-style spray. Mmm. My dad over head managed to somehow drop his duty-free
Starting point is 00:12:20 wine in all a commotion, look back at me and then kept on walking to avoid having to deal with both the broken bottles and the horror scene I was involved in. That's no father at all. That's bad, bad dad-in. Obviously, I had to change clothes, which resulted in me wearing my older sister's oversized jumper, and I can't remember
Starting point is 00:12:36 what on the bottom half. I've been reminded of this beautiful scene so many times. I've lost all sense of embarrassment about it, so why not share it with you? Have a good Christmas. Avoid food poisoning if you can, Martin. But Martin, You did your family a solid day. I don't know why dad's decided to, you know, turn and turn,
Starting point is 00:12:50 I think given that you're 10 years old, that's outrageous from your dad. Dad's got to take control. I can't imagine doing that. I turned up at, we're off for a wedding and we turned up at my, my sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law's house
Starting point is 00:13:05 because they're going to look after a baby for a little while. And as soon as you got there, VOM happened. I was it like, oh no. But she was fine. that. Yeah, my son
Starting point is 00:13:17 vombed when being looked after by my sister while we were away for the weekend and to my sister's immense credit
Starting point is 00:13:23 she's got kids of her own and she's very good she didn't tell us she's like don't bother them no no no no
Starting point is 00:13:29 he's absolutely fine he hasn't he hasn't vommed for three days yeah it's fine but it can happen mate they're very sick
Starting point is 00:13:35 can't that aren't they love it before we overwhelm people with emails about food poisoning I thought I just interject with this
Starting point is 00:13:42 one about a raccoon a raccoon because the two things we've about more recently that pertains to these emails are food poisoning and raccoons because you started off yesterday, sorry, whatever it would have been. Thursday show. Thursday show talking about raccoons.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And Dan's been in touch. He says, hi guys, I live in northern Scotland in a rural area surrounded by woodland. Oh. Which sounds idyllic, absolutely idyllic. He says, back in 2018, I decided to buy a wildlife camera. The day it arrived, I just popped it out on the patio because the weather. was good. When I checked the
Starting point is 00:14:18 footage the next morning, there, walking right towards the lens was a raccoon. In Scotland! Well, I didn't know yet.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Weren't they invasible? Didn't you say they were invasive species or something? I immediately found Scottish National Heritage. Sorry,
Starting point is 00:14:33 Scottish Natural Heritage says Dan. They said it was probably something else patronising. That's cheek. So I sent them the photo.
Starting point is 00:14:41 And they were shocked. Have a bit of that. They said, I will immediately investigate. Right. Yeah. You've changed your I'd have wanted more change out of them for that.
Starting point is 00:14:48 That's so arrogant. Oh, sorry. Oh, yeah. I'd have been, I've been like this. Oh, so you, can I just confirm it? It's a raccoon, yeah? And I'd have gone... Chippy.
Starting point is 00:14:56 So you want to investigate it further, right? So can I just confirm, guys, before we get into that, we are all here talking... Agreeing. About... Prosion Lhotor, the Latin name. Of the, of the carnivora order. I'd have been really hammed it up.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Anyway... To cut a long story short, a local wildlife rescue center had a raccoon that had escaped. I was supplied with a trap and I captured him a few days later. What? So he captured a raccoon. He caught one. So they supplied him with the trap. I guess they just put a trap in the...
Starting point is 00:15:33 He just put a trap down. Yeah. And he caught the raccoon. The raccoon had returned. And you think that would be the end of the story, right? Yes. I think it would be. You'd be wrong.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Right. Got out of the trap. A few weeks later. Came back. Never forget. They never forget. the camera up again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Guess what he captured next? Lovely, another raccoon. A lovely raccoon. Yeah. Another raccoon. Where all these raccoons coming from? Was it the same one, Peter? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:56 There was... Well, I'm going to answer the question. All right, okay, sorry. I thought you'd finished. The answer was yes. It was the same raccoon. It escaped again. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I made its way several miles back to my garden, presumably following the stream. The rescue centre got a bollicking for not reporting the escape, and the little escape passes was captured once again and returned one last time. Let's go for three.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Dan ends the email by saying, why not just leave him B? Raccoons thrive in the UK climate and reproduce rapidly, just look at Germany for a few dozen escape from a fur farm in 1945 and it's now estimated
Starting point is 00:16:25 there is many of two million raccoons in Germany. I guess, I don't know, maybe they're invasive, maybe they're a pest, I don't know enough about them. I think they're bloody cute. I'll definitely say that. In Cornwall, in the UK,
Starting point is 00:16:38 in last month, there was an overweight raccoon believed to be an escaped pet found just wandering around wandering around Carmel. So it does give a little bit of credit to the rumours about
Starting point is 00:16:49 the kind of beast of Bodmin Moor and all that kind of stuff, doesn't it? Could just be a big, a fat raccoon. Well, it could just be, I suppose there are protocols in place as Dan is kind of intimated here when he says that the rescue center got a bollicking
Starting point is 00:17:02 for not reporting the escape. Yeah. If a big animal escapes from your zoo, you're going to have to tell someone. You've got to tell someone. I mean, there is a non-native species secretariat apparently. and if you see
Starting point is 00:17:14 something that doesn't look right see it say it reported to the NSS I'd love that job wouldn't you well you go yeah but I would like to test their metal
Starting point is 00:17:25 I'd like you sort of go I've seen a dog and it's running around and they'll be like it's native to England don't worry about it and I'll say no he's wearing a trucker cap
Starting point is 00:17:35 yeah she's clearly from America okay I've seen a bear a bear and a bearer with a blue coat on Blue corn eating a sandwich
Starting point is 00:17:45 Oh, Peru Yeah Padding bear So how would the conversation go after that When you When I don't know When you do an adoption The adoption people have to
Starting point is 00:17:58 Get like a They put a book together for you Of your Of your Of their life basically Of the child's life Before they came to you And you know
Starting point is 00:18:07 You read it with them And stuff To make it clear that You know Open adoptions They know They know everything about The adoption
Starting point is 00:18:12 and stuff. And one of the first pages on the life story book that we got given was here's a list of, here's some characters from like fiction that have been adopted.
Starting point is 00:18:24 And I was thinking, she's a two and a half year old kid. It's going to be like Paddington, isn't it? Because he was adopted. Iron Man. Big in the fucking, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:38 Avengers Assemble fucking universe, are we? Two and a half year old girl. I didn't even know. Iron Man was adopted? Apparently so. Not really the biggest part of his
Starting point is 00:18:46 thing, really, is it? Not really the biggest part of his story. He's a multi-millionaire. The origin stories are important. Player boy, isn't he? Marvel, aren't they? They are, but I mean, it's not, I don't remember
Starting point is 00:18:56 Superman, I guess. He sort of came from his own country. He was adopted by an American family, wasn't he? Yeah. Go, with that iron man. He's got an iron suit. A lot of people talk about how
Starting point is 00:19:06 like Batman could have, because like Bruce Wayne's a billionaire, isn't he? Yeah. Batman could have just funded the police department. properly. Rather they just do this silly nonsense.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Any other adopted people that you wanted to mention in that section there, Peter? I don't know. Sorry, I'd sort of, I went away from the invasive species thing straight into because it reminded me of Iron Man. It's okay. I want to do another food poisoning email because it comes from official archivist
Starting point is 00:19:33 and statistician of the football ramble. Jimmy to the B. I didn't know Jimmy was Luke and Pete show guy as well, so good on him. Those people who listen to ramble regularly will know all about Jimmy to the Bee. So I'll leave that there. But his story goes as follows.
Starting point is 00:19:49 You ask for food poisoning stories, so here we go. The year is 2014 and we're at the end of January, beginning of February, and I'm 18 months or so out from having a gastric bypass. Whoa! Now, one thing they don't tell you about having that surgery is if you end up getting a run-of-the-mill bout of food poisoning or a 24-hour bug or whatever, it absolutely fucks you. Yeah. Due to your body changing how it reacts to food,
Starting point is 00:20:12 and that your pipes and connections aren't working in the same way. The bug doesn't go anywhere, basically. It sticks around for a lot longer. This meant for me at the end of January 2014, I got ill with one of those little on the toilet for half a day bugs that was just going around the office, and they ended up being ill for over three days. He said,
Starting point is 00:20:29 I was shitting and vomiting so much and bending Owen to do so that I pulled a disc in my back and lost two and a half stone in the week. Sounds like it's all working, I suppose, as expected. As needed. He says, my body rejected everything that I drunk or eaten in the weeks beforehand. Most concerning, though, it was also the time that Taylor Swift was touring the world on the Red Tour, and she was about to play a few shows at London's world-famous O2 Arena.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Fast forward a couple of days. I still haven't really eaten properly. None of my clothes fit. And every intake of breath or movement in my sleep causes meaningly to yell in agony. Oh, God. I just can't miss it, though. I'd waited months, and not even the prospect of the nightmare I've been through leaving with no energy.
Starting point is 00:21:11 the thought of seeing the vamps as tour support nor the visuals of looking like a 25-year-old hunchback of Notre Dame the third row of the front of the gig would stop me so I went on a cold February night we drove from Norwich to London in my friend's old Renaulte Cleo three door oh my god this sounds Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy she drove as quick as possible so I wouldn't be in the car for that long oh my god we got on the central line to change at Stratford
Starting point is 00:21:34 before going to the O2 via the Jubilee line it was hell my back was broken my lower half torn and my ear drums trying to escape from the vamp but it was worth it because I reckon at one point Taylor Swift looked down at a hunchback in the third row
Starting point is 00:21:46 Destrich Charles raised his arms above his head as she crushed it so he made it Jimmy I couldn't I couldn't watch a
Starting point is 00:21:53 a small a small modest Royal Rumble last night at the wrestling that's what laid ways to you Jimmy ends the email by saying love you both Merry Christmas
Starting point is 00:22:03 to all the family and friends remember sometimes food poisoning can lead you into a position with the world's biggest female pop star I think she might need to call security on you People are brave. You know, like, when you have your gastric bypass thing?
Starting point is 00:22:14 Like, how... Because you imagine it's like a rubber band and it sort of like takes off a bit of your stomach. Is that what it does? I believe it makes the... So you get full quicker. It makes the stomach smaller. Sure.
Starting point is 00:22:26 So how... What about that bit where the food doesn't get to? Is that just... I'm just kind of confused. I don't know how it works. I don't know how it works. I imagine if they thought it through, I expect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Do they just sort of make it... presumably that I'm thinking of like the stomach is a thing and I am presuming that rubber band just sort of like absolutely takes out
Starting point is 00:22:48 some of the stomach but what in reality it probably is is it restricts the stomach from expanding so therefore you feel bigger quicker so because you wouldn't want
Starting point is 00:22:58 a part of the stomach not doing anything would you not absorbing food according to Google it creates a small stomach pouch and re-roots part of the small intestine reducing food intake
Starting point is 00:23:08 and calorie absorption leaving to a significant weight loss and improvement in a obesity-related conditions. So that stomach pouch, what's that doing now? It's not doing anything. Would it not just necrotize and just sort of go, well, I'm going to stop being a stomach because I'm not doing any of the stomachy things.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I'm not fulfilling my stomachy destiny. No, I think what's happening is, I'm looking at the Google images, the stomach gets vastly reduced inside. Look like that. Sure is it. Right? And then they cut off the rest of the stomach
Starting point is 00:23:36 and the tube goes into that bit of the stomach and out again and bypassing. and bypasses the rest of the stomach's not, so the rest of the stomach's not doing anything. Oh, so what you mean? It's not, it's not, it's not receiving, presumably stomach acid. It's not receiving the things that it needs to, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:49 to be a good question. I'm just, I'm sure. We've got a couple of official GPs of Luke and Peachia. Exactly. They'll be able to tell us. I imagine people who have, it must be quite annoying if you've got, you know, the, it's quite a big operation,
Starting point is 00:24:02 the old gastric band. Now, as Empex around, you must be fucking annoyed. Yeah, not need it anymore. Yeah, but need it anymore. Well, I mean, yeah, you know, you can't... It's not for everybody, is it? You can't live in the future, Peter.
Starting point is 00:24:12 You simply can't... Before we go, let's just finish off with this final food poisoning email we've selected from Andrew in Connecticut, Peter. Take it away. All right, okay. Final one. Yes, Luke Pete, while on vacation in Bermuda
Starting point is 00:24:24 with my family in 2005, I ate Eggs Benedict and got food poisoning. One of your faves, isn't it, Egg Benedict? Yeah, I do like a bit of Eggs Benedict. I had 24 awful hours hugging the toilet and laying on the bathroom floor. Once I started to feel better, I went to the bar at the hotel to watch the TV.
Starting point is 00:24:37 The bartender, and customer, we're watching the Liverpool AC Milan final. Oh, that one, that one. At halftime, with Liverpool down zero to three, I asked if we could change the channel. Needless to say, my request was not received well. You all know what happened after half time.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I was completely mesmerized and have been a Liverpool supporter ever since. Without food poisoning, I may not have becoming Liverpool convert and supporter, Andrew from Connecticut. Where we live in Simsbury, Connecticut, which sounds like where the Sims
Starting point is 00:25:07 would live. It does, isn't it? Speaking, the Simlish and that, we have bears as pests,
Starting point is 00:25:12 pests, not raccoons. We even have special bear-proof trash cans. Yeah, it's kind of interesting because
Starting point is 00:25:16 Simsbury is not that far northwest of where my wife's family are from. And although I have seen bears in New England,
Starting point is 00:25:25 I've been much further north than that, like up in Vermont, places like that. I've never really seen one in Connecticut, although apparently they do knock about
Starting point is 00:25:34 down there. Yeah, nice. So I kind of do want to see a bear at some point in connecting that because i've only really seen him from the car in vermont have you seen that footage of a guy who was testing out his drone no so i don't if this is a i i don't think it is because i think it's quite an old piece of footage it's a guy a few years ago testing out his drone in like a snowy landscape somewhere i guess he's gone in this car and driven to the woods or whatever and he's flying his drone up and down these kind of
Starting point is 00:26:02 gaps in the trees of this forest yeah and all of a sudden you just see a bear chasing a man So a man He's like running away from a bear A bear's chasing him And the drone sort of stropes down And the bear kind of gives up the chase And kind of wanders off Right
Starting point is 00:26:17 And well that's good You'd want to use your drone for good Well I don't think it's because of the draw I'm not sure Oh right I'd want to go down And try and distract the bear No
Starting point is 00:26:24 It's a crazy bit of footage I hope it's real I would not want to be being chased by a bear And then a drone appears And I'm being chased by both things now This is a nightmare
Starting point is 00:26:34 Don't forget The trick where the bear Is as I've always said to you guys if you do find yourself encountering a bear always try and get between the mother and its car yes that's the safest thing you can do official tip and we are
Starting point is 00:26:47 licensed to give that authority we do have the authority and experience we're both outdoorsman we spent many a time out in there like we're grizzly men we are exactly yeah and sometimes hostels right mostly hostile we've been the looking beach sure we'll be back on Thursday get you emails
