Starting point is 00:00:00 Working in the trades is intense. It can be stressful and painful. Some guys use drugs and alcohol to cope. But when we ask for help, we see someone struggling with addiction. Our silence speaks volumes. See how you can help, or get help, at Canada.ca slash ease the burden. A message from the Government of Canada. They won't turn up. They simply will not turn up.
Starting point is 00:00:42 It's the Luke and Pete shot. I'm Pete Donaldson. We've turned up, haven't we Luke? We've bloody turned up. In body, if not turn up. It's the look of Pete Shot. I'm Pete Donaldson. We've turned up. Haven't we Luke? We've bloody turned up in the body if not in mind in body and in mind in to certain degrees We make promises and we turn up on time Basically Luke. I've got two things in my life that need fixing and fixing fast I don't have a TV aerial anymore because some winds about you. You don't need one do you?
Starting point is 00:01:06 Yeah you do, you do. Because we've got a bath with a telly in it and that doesn't work without a decent aerial on it. Hang on, pause, pause, pause. You've got a bath with a telly in it? The previous owner of the house, I think they were trying to extract maximum amount of monies out of a terraced house. And so they decided to basically install a television into the bath, like a hotel. And so yeah, we've got a telly.
Starting point is 00:01:43 I've never seen a TV in a bath at a hotel. I literally don't know what you're talking about. You've never been to a hotel where there's been a bath telly, a telly in the bath? No. Right. All right, well come round my house. Come to Hotel Donaldson. So where does that, just describe the bath.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Where does the telly sit? At one end of the bath, away from the taps. It's just a... So it's Perspect screen or something. It's a very cheap television that some enterprising company have decided to Put a couple of rubber gaskets on and charge you about three times the amount So you can install it into install it into your wall. You did a boy you watch the next yawn there like a backwards yawn You went oh my god. You were like a backwoods yawn. You went, oh my god, it was like Gerbler Witch Project. Oh, stick around.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Stick around. Because we are a minute in. And you're already telling me something I never knew. I kind of envisage that it exists. Is it a smart TV? Do you use it? What's the situation? No, well it's just a terrestrial TV so I can't access, I can't and won't plug my PS5 into it
Starting point is 00:02:48 although that would be the dream wouldn't it? Having to get a FIFA on the wall. I don't really have a bath so. No, me neither so I've got near cost to use it but my partner does and she deserves television in the bath if she so wants it. And we don't have a TV aerial. It fell down a year ago and every couple of days I look at the telly and go, I need to get that fixed, I need to get that fixed, I need to get that fixed. And you know yesterday when I was ringing around trying to sort out a broken dishwasher, again I'm bringing a bigger boy in for that as well, I thought you know what, I'm not going to get on the roof to fix a TV aerial because
Starting point is 00:03:24 it's dangerous and it's windy. Oh, don't do a rod hull. Don't do a rod hull. And I also, yeah, rang a bigger boy in for the, because I had such problems fitting some taps last time I messed around. And I just think that, look, I'll have a go at everything, but I'm not going to go at pipes because pipes are high pressure, they're soggy and they'll they make a real mess. I will go as far as replacing the a flush on a toilet but I'm not replacing the toilet, I'm not replacing any pipes, I'm not fitting those because it's just a bloody nightmare but the the the the dishwasher's up the up the swanee and I've actually got a bigger
Starting point is 00:04:03 boy in. What do you reckon is wrong with the dishwasher? What would be your guess for the bigger boy? I think there's probably the inlet filter is probably full but I could, what I'll let it do is pull the unit out, turn it around and get the filter out and try and clean it or replace it but I can't because I don't have the tools to undo the water that's going into it and I've got a very weak wrist at the moment so I can't do anything with it. So I'm, you know what, 80 quid, can you do that for me bigger boy? And so there's somebody reportedly coming out but he's not turned up so it's just all... It starts at 80 quid doesn't it? That's how it starts.
Starting point is 00:04:39 It starts at 80 quid and he goes, oh the filter, I need to use a very special filter that... So a guy came to fix my dishwasher once and he said the problem was that it's always the same, that something gets in the pipe and blocks it because you miss a bit of food that you're supposed to have rinsed off or whatever. And he was really, really grumpy. And he didn't want to be there at all. I mean, surely that's his job. You know what I'm like, that's red rag to a ball stuff for me. So I just kept talking to him and he openly admitted that like he hated going to people's houses and speaking to people. Right, okay. And he did this thing where I said to him, well you're having a bad day or whatever. Yeah. He said
Starting point is 00:05:22 oh yeah you know. It's about to get worse, the robe came open. But it was about to get worse, the robe closed. And I said to him, oh yeah, what's up? And he basically said that it's the customers, right? It's the customers. In a way that I thought he was gonna say, but you know, you're all right, not you. No, yeah, yeah, he didn't extend that.
Starting point is 00:05:41 But he didn't say that. Even though I'd made him a tea. I'd actually made him a tea. Okay. And what you find now is that a lot of people who come to do stuff at your house... Through the tea bag straight into the dishwasher. You'll be back, mate. Yeah, exactly. As he was talking to me, I was going, yeah, uh-huh, yeah, shove the tea bag into the pipe. Flicking beans.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Just shoving it in there. Flicking beans into the... No, but you know these days, a lot of the people who come to do stuff at your house are basically tend to be Eastern European, right? Or they certainly used to be before Brexit. You do still get a few of them. And they are very self-sufficient. So when I had the team to do my,
Starting point is 00:06:18 no, exactly, when I had the team to do my, decorating of my house, they were, I think, Moldovan. And they'd turn up, same time every morning, gave me a key. They brought all their own stuff, had their headphones in, just got on with it. Every single time for the first few days. I said, can I get you anything? No, no, no. And to the point where I just stopped asking. They didn't seem to have any breaks or anything. Yeah, just got on with it. And this guy was British and hate it was hate in life.
Starting point is 00:06:47 He was just hate in life. I mean, it sounds like, I mean, you don't need chats when you're sort of doing something like that, I suppose, do you? But like, I would say that like, if your heart's not in it, I mean, the customers are a very necessary part of it. There's a sweet spot for chat Pete, I think. Yeah. I think the sweet spot is you don't want to be talking so
Starting point is 00:07:06 much that it doesn't get any work done, and particularly if he finds you annoying, which can happen to me. But at the same time, you don't want to be rude. I think what I find the case, if I'm trying to be empathetic, is that I am from a working class background. I've been brought up to respect tradesmen because most of my tradespeople, because most of my family were that. And so then maybe you just, you get kind of lulled into a sense where you think that everyone's nice.
Starting point is 00:07:35 And I guess people, some people are very dismissive or snobby or whatever. It's like my mate who runs the hotel said, he said, that's a nightmare. It's like, you know, one in every three guests is a complete fucking idiot. And like floods the bathroom or blocks the toilet or something. And I was, I was, I remember he told me that I was saying, I was just surprised to hear that. And he was like, yeah, because you've probably been brought up properly. So you probably leave
Starting point is 00:07:55 things as you find them. A lot of people don't do that. And then he said a few things about certain different cultures that have the ones specifically that don't do that. And I said, I'm not going to, I'm not, I'm not going ones specifically that don't do that and I said I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna extend that, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna sort of spawn that into the world by, you know, letting it out But you're really awkward though, aren't you? So it's probably that you I'm very awkward, I kind of want this dishwasher guy to know that I would have had a go with it if I had time and my wrist didn't hurt That's all I need him to know Don't say that though, don't say that though My wrist need him to know I need him, my wrist is so incredibly living
Starting point is 00:08:28 I really don't want you to say that yeah I just want him to know that this could be worse for him and this could be more broken do you know what I mean I want him to know that if I'd had a go at it I would have fucked it up I would have you know broke you know threaded the the the screws on the on the on the pipes and you would have to have bought a new pipe. Instead you just got to replace a filter and then get out of my life
Starting point is 00:08:48 and that's absolutely fine. God knows what they're doing on the roof but he'll have to do something on the roof as well. The man who's gonna be coming to fix the area. Not the same guy though. Fix the area. I'm sure he'd never got. Well either way, neither have turned up, so it's fine.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Well your guy might be, the roof guy might be on the roof now. He might be, yeah he might have just sort just sort of went right okay I can see what the problem is don't you talk to them I'll send them an invoice I'll post them an invoice through the through the door. Speaking of threaded screws by the way that little bit kit you gave me to get those screws out of my coffee table worked an absolute treat. Oh lovely stuff. I looked at the gear and I thought I can't understand in my own mind how that works but it does work. Yeah you'd think because the screw goes into the thing, oh because I guess it basically drills
Starting point is 00:09:31 another bit, it drills like another thread. Yeah and the screws are on backwards aren't they? Yeah. So like when you screw them in and then you pull them out it's very satisfying, it's like it's I guess the machine equivalent of draining assist that will not go. You know Harry Hill does that line. I mean people know Harry Hill, don't they? Yeah. Even our international listeners. I'm trying to think what Harry Hill...
Starting point is 00:10:00 How would you describe him? Do they have... I don't know, do they have absurdist kind of, he's quite a bit of a prop guy, could be a bit of Carrot Top in there maybe. Oh my friend, I'll tell you my friend went to go see him recently. In Vegas, oh god. No Harry Hill, not fucking Carrot Top, Jesus. Well Harry Hill, you never know what you're going to get with Harry Hill because he's quite a celebrated proper comedian's comedian isn't he?
Starting point is 00:10:26 My friend said that he was away with work in somewhere in the middle of nowhere and whenever I say those kind of things I have to then really be careful to pick somewhere that people aren't going to get offended by but it was like somewhere like it was like a town in Lincolnshire or whatever because he works for a company that's all over the country. So he basically just got posted this place for a week and it was like a fucking cultural desert. And he said it was in the pub one of these days and he saw that Harry Hill was playing there, above the pub. And he was like, fucking hell, all right, I'm going to go to that then. It was like tomorrow night. So I want to go to that. So he went
Starting point is 00:11:01 there and in the pub, in the bar beforehand, he saw Harry Hill and it was quite early. So he just went over there. So all right, Harry, great to see you. I'm really surprised to see you here. I'm fucking delighted. I'm looking forward to the show. And apparently he was really friendly and said, Oh yeah, my daughter's just gone to university and I haven't got any money. So I'm doing this like 50 day tour. But anyway, my friend said that he made out he didn't really have that much material. And because he's Harry Hill, I suppose he just does it anyway. My friend saw him and said that he did about 35 minutes with a big screen and a large part of it was whether he'd flash a photo up and the crowd had to
Starting point is 00:11:43 decide as a group whether it was a tear ander or a Traybake. And this thing just went on for ages. He said like after 20 minutes he flicked the next one and we go again! Is it a Traybake? Is it a Terrencher? It was like amazingly compelling because it's Harry Hill. So a Traybake, what does that mean? Like it's like a little cake? Well Traybake is like, so they both look the same, they come in like a foil dish and a tray baker is like a rocky road with marshmallows and chocolate and stuff Yes, you see people selling them on Facebook Marketplace for some reason Yeah, maybe, I don't know, you don't know much about Facebook Marketplace
Starting point is 00:12:20 More on that in a minute though, because I've got some Facebook Marketplace stuff gone up this week Me too, oh, gone up, yeah, I got some Facebook marketplace stuff gone up this week. Me too. Exciting. Oh, gone up. Yeah, I've bought a little bit of something this week as well. Oh, imagine if you bought something from me. That'd be brilliant. That'd be so good. Anyway, what was I saying about Harry Hill? Oh yeah, so Harry Hill said that, you know, he really used to really dread having to clean a really dirty pan. Right. Until he realised that if he soak it overnight in the morning, it cleans really easily. And he said to the point where now I just actually quite look forward to doing it. I felt like that with the threaded screws, I used to dread a
Starting point is 00:12:56 threaded screw. Yeah. Now with your gear, which I gave back to you anyway, but if I needed to get it myself, I could. I'm not fearful of it. I'm actually looking forward to the next threaded screw I'll find. Did you give it back? Did I put it back in my toolbox? By which I mean it's on my desk. It's on your desk right, okay fine. The contract is not complete. I've met you halfway. So on the Facebook marketplace thing I chucked up a toddler's activity table, which my son no longer plays with, and an almost brand new Tommy Tippie Perfect prep machine. Cause my son's no longer having a bottle of that.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Oh, is that one of those little sort of macchiato machines for kids? Like a little machine that, yeah. It is that, yes. If you are out there and you are about to become a parent or you're a new parent or whatever and you're going to be using bottles either in addition to breastfeeding or you're not able to breastfeed whatever, I cannot tell you how much of a game changer the Tommy Tippy Perfect prep
Starting point is 00:13:57 machine is. Well, I mean, you said it is cheap at three times the price. But you say it with, I will not have you come on here and try and sell your Facebook marketplace. Can you see it? I've just angled the camera. Can you see it? It's there. It's right there.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Yeah, I can kind of see it on the table. That's it there. Just in the corner. Yeah, yeah, I can see it. Have you... I mean, you say it's a game changer. The Tommy Tippie Perfect Serve... Perfect prep.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Perfect prep machine. It's not serve, perfect prep machine. It's not a macchiato machine. It's the only, this is the only thing you've ever used. So presumably you don't know a world without it. No, when I go for a day somewhere, I don't take that with me, do I? I have to prepare the bottles by hand. Well I'd say that by the strictest rule of the word game changer, you not having one of those is the game changer. your default is having one of those.
Starting point is 00:14:46 And rightly so because the product is of such good quality. But what I'm saying to you is, imagine this, when babies are really young they have to be fed during the night and if you're preparing a bottle... Greedy little pigs. I know, I was furious every morning. Oh, this again. Not really, because my wife was doing it. But anyway, what I'm saying is, if your baby wakes up and it needs to be fed,
Starting point is 00:15:10 I'll tell you what you're doing right now, Peter. You're going into the kitchen, middle of the night, this could be 3 a.m., normally it's about 3 a.m., you're going into the kitchen, you're boiling a kettle. Yeah, last thing you need. You're taking temperatures, you're putting cold water in to get the temperature right,
Starting point is 00:15:24 you're squeezing it on your elbow. Is it going to be okay? Are they going to have it? Are they going to want it or not? Tommy Tippie, same temperature to the 0.01 of degree every single time. Well, you'd best hope the thermostat is working. In two buttons. Okay, right, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Two buttons. I mean, when you are giving this stuff away or selling it on a 13 micro place, before you go to give it to someone or put it online presumably that's just milk going through the pipes pipe pipe pipe pipe have you flushed it with water because you know because you it's not what's only water because you put the powder in after oh so the water oh so you're not you haven't got a reservoir of milk inside the machine it's not like a Costa it's not like a Costa machine in the Sainsbury's, right, okay, I see. Imagine if it was that big. Where do you want it? It filters the water, because you can't
Starting point is 00:16:16 give babies tap water until they get to a certain age, and you can't give them bottled water either. What if you're boiling it? It's absolutely fine. That's what I'm saying, otherwise you're boiling it. That's why you need the perfect prepper. Perfect prepper. It just seems like it does solve a lot of problems at the same time. I'm on board.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I just feel like I'm never gonna drink perfect prep milk. I've got a brand new Boxed and Sealed filter with it. Worth about 15 quid. I'm selling the whole lot for 35 quid. Cause that would have been a couple of hundred quid, wouldn't it? Back in the year. I think it's about 100. 100, yeah. That's it, because that would have been a couple of hundred quid, wouldn't it? Back in the back. It's about 100.
Starting point is 00:16:46 100. Yeah, that's decent. Someone's getting a real deal there. I think we're like kids stuff. There's a lot of like turnaround, isn't there? I suppose people sort of grow little little people sort of grow out things. And you do you do get some absolute people sort of talk about vintage. Have you ever bought anything on vintage? My wife sells stuff on baby stuff on Vinted a lot.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Yeah I put, I don't go near it, I'm a Facebook marketplace purist. I bought four pairs of, oh I tell you what, video game systems. I think I mentioned it before. You told me last time. Yeah. Yeah I bought four pairs of trousers off Vinted. I had a busy week, didn't collect them. They went straight back to the Vinted people. They're gonna be so angry with me. Oh so what happens if you don't collect them, they just go back? Well Ied people they're gonna be so angry with me oh so what happens if you don't collect them they just go back? they were in an amazon locker and they just went back because i hadn't collected in time why are you getting delivered to your house? amazon locker I got excited because I wanted to use the amazon locker
Starting point is 00:17:37 but I didn't realize and the last time for me to collect it was like 8 pm at night and I was oh we'll go out there get it but I didn't realise the lockers were inside the co-op that had closed. I was fuming Luke I really was. So the Amazon lockers near where I live are just on the street? Yeah sorry Amazon this is another one, Impost I think it's called, different company but yeah it's actually in the co-op that was closed and I was very upset and I was standing outside the co-op at like 10 o'clock at night getting very, very wound up that my trousers were in there. And knowing your track record with different trouser types, it would have been exciting presumably. What were they?
Starting point is 00:18:14 They were just normal kind of like decent-ish trousers that were on sale for five quid. They were only like five quid apiece, so I bought four pairs, but I just thought it was just very tantalising that I nearly, nearly completed a vintage. So you were really close to the trousers but you couldn't have them. Couldn't access them yeah, it's weird isn't it, it's a weird feeling. Were you nervous that you hadn't tried them on? Well it doesn't matter, it's all immaterial, they've gone back to the vintage sales person. They are material.
Starting point is 00:18:43 They are material. What size were they though? Were you worried that they were the right size? In a five-edges. I also I can squeeze into a 30 I can Somewhere between a 30 and a 32. It's just a bit. I mean my stomach My stomach sits over the top of it. Let's make that very clear, but I don't look good in it, but I can fit into a 30. Me, I'm a dictionary definition standard issue 36.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, I mean that's not a lot that have changed though from your like what would you have been when you were a kid? 32? I don't know, I'm not really sure. I mean in Reese, I'm 38. But it's all vanity sizing anyway. It doesn't mean anything. Like you would say that's a 38 inch waist, but it's not. My waist is probably bigger than that. I could, I could, I could, I've got such short legs. It's actually quite, when you actually look at trousers that genuinely fit me, it looks absolutely ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Absolutely stupid. No bum, no legs. It's basically, it's like I've sort of grown half my life in quicksand and I've wasted away below deck. Well you just look like a two legged, one body section caterpillar. Yeah, exactly, yeah, two. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. With a pair of limbs for each quarter, at least sorry, half, yeah, yeah. With a pair of limbs for each quarter. At least, sorry, half, so to speak. It's getting confusing.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Let's have a break, and when we come back, Peter, we've got to do people's batteries. We've got a lot of new submissions in there. And we need to see if we can continue to get some new players. I mean, it's important. It's important work. It is. The Lord's work.
Starting point is 00:20:21 The Lord being Varta. Working in the trades is intense. The Lord's work.ca slash ease the burden. A message from the Government of Canada.

Starting point is 00:21:29 It's time for the Look at Pete's Show battery roundup because as you know it is a Thursday. Before we do that Peter, sorry to cut in, before we do that you know that producer Taylor does a thing about at the top of the of the piece of paper the batteries on where it says what we talked about last week so because we're so old and forgetful we don't repeat ourselves sometimes I read that and I cannot remember a single syllable I've just read one from last week which says today's most important question would you flash your penis for a pound did we do I? I seem to recall... The 10p machine? And you said you'd do it for a pound?
Starting point is 00:22:07 Yes, that's right. Because I came away from that recording thinking I don't know in 2024 we should be talking about flashing? No. Well, you came away from that Sean, we didn't edit it out and now it's in the synopsis from last week's show. Yeah, I think when I say flashing I suppose because we talked about it in a pub if you go into a pub and it says pay a pound
Starting point is 00:22:28 and this man will flash his penis and you pay the pound. That's not technically a flashing, is it? Flashing is, it's very nature, non-solicited, isn't it? You're not asking for business, are you? Yeah. Do you want to like, would you have to write a little contract out? We've got, this is going to be the synopsis for next week. Would you need to write a little contract out saying, We're going to win. Saying, well, if they're talking about it again, let's just rename the show.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And would you need a little contract to sort of go, look, if you get upset from what you've seen, just know it's a normal penis and there's nothing upsetting about what's in our, on our body. And just, just enjoy it. Don't enjoy it, but don't, don't get upset because you paid a pound do not and put that bit in capitals take it further do not take it yeah it would just be like when you watch a netflix series and it says at the start like flashing images or upsetting scenes or whatever yeah yeah but speaking of that i um i was um what was i doing? Oh, do you know what? I was up really early the other day with my son who had been a bit poorly, but I put him back to bed.
Starting point is 00:23:31 It was still about five in the morning. I put him back to bed and I was like, ah, there's no point in going back to bed now because I've got to be up at 6.20 anyway. And I put the telly on. And the TV was still on Sky Atlantic from the night before. And it was hidden behind a pin, so fine. And the TV was still on Sky Atlantic from the night before. Right. And it was hidden behind a pin, so fine.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Oh, OK. But they were showing the very first episode of the TV series, True Blood. Do you remember that? Yes, yes I do. Is that the one where like when, it was back when every single TV show had a kind of boozy, bluesy, sort of slap steel guitar theme. Yeah, maybe. I think this is a bit of truth in that. When was it? 2008? Something like that? Yeah, I remember I did a True Blood promotional quiz for one of the streaming platforms in a graveyard. And I had to remember this big thing about the were- weres? Werewolves? Weres and
Starting point is 00:24:26 the vampires? I can't remember what the vampires are called. How many goodness me's did you do? For a week, quite a few I imagine. But for a week I had to learn all about True Blood and instantly forgot it because I'd been watching a single episode. Yeah, so that's exactly what I expected you to be doing in 2008. But anyway, I put it on. I thought, oh, this is the first episode. It's not very often you see something, it's like the first season, first episode and it's just started. Oh, fuck it. I've never seen it before. So I just do it. I put it on. This is going to make me sound a bit wet, but, and it was five in the morning and I
Starting point is 00:24:56 was quite emotional because I'd been up most of the night. I actually found it quite disturbing. What a spooky, sexy vampire film with loads of roidy men. It was very, very explicit and quite frightening. Right. And I thought to myself... It's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style, it's set in a style well it's better they've got the watershed now because after 9pm I think I would have been fine what would you rather what would you know what would you rather do at that uh what would you rather do with a vampire have some sex or them drink your blood I would probably go with a sex thing yeah I see what you're saying fucking a vampire's got to be risky you know because
Starting point is 00:25:41 you said all they're doing is drinking blood anyway they're bringing drinking blood anyway exactly yeah you know when you said you realize sometimes you haven't you're having a lucid dream and you know it and so all of a sudden you just try and fuck everything yeah not last night I've dreamt I was in the big Vegas sphere. I've ditched you! You found a broken pixel! I was constantly trying to fix the telly. Anyway you know when you say you did say like, in a lucid dream, that's what you do. It just felt a bit like that. It felt a bit like a dancing lucid dream with vampires. Yeah. All right. Well, fine.
Starting point is 00:26:13 They made millions out of it. I've made nothing off my lucid dreams. You can't make millions out of TV. True Blood was huge. Absolutely huge. It was there. It was there. It really sort of burned bright. A little bit like, do you remember there was that show, the guy out of Dexter? Do you know that one? I know the show Dexter. I don't know the guy.
Starting point is 00:26:29 You know that, the main guy, has a name a bit like William H. Macy, but he was in a TV show before that, which was like around the start of the golden age of television. A little bit before Sopranos. Michael C C Hall. Michael C Hall. He was in a TV show where I think he might have been having sex with his sister, I can't remember. But that was such a big kind of breakout TV show that... Oh, Six Feet Under? Six Feet Under, of course it was. Of course it bloody was, yeah. Six Feet Under. I haven't seen it but I know what it is, yeah. Yeah, those kind of TV shows like I watched the first few seasons of and stuff and you sort of go, oh god, that was really, really good. And then I just stopped shows like I watched the first few seasons of and stuff and you sort of go Oh god, that was really really good. And then I just stopped well
Starting point is 00:27:06 I only watched the first couple seasons of Lost like all of these kind of like epic TV shows that were appointment They're the very first appointment to watch TV shows I've just I've just kind of like let let go really and and I what you do I'll tell you exactly what you do right now If you get about a season and a half through and then you just go, oh fuck it, wrap your hand in and just start watching the American Office again. Well, that is true, but that's not really for watching telly, that's just for, you know, getting to sleep really, because I can last about ten minutes and then I'm falling asleep
Starting point is 00:27:39 in front of a television. Fucking a vampire. I'm almost through my annual Breaking Bad re-watchk of the vampire. F**k of the vampire. I'm almost through my annual Breaking Bad re-watch by the way. Right okay, it's five o'clock in the morning. That's pretty gory isn't it for you know the the Twilight hours. Nah, because I know what's coming. Alright fair, fair. Anyway batteries, do batteries. Did you flirt with a better car soul in the end? You watched all that did you? I've watched all that. I mean I, this is probably controversial.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I'd love to hear from my listeners on this, actually, because I'd like to get a consensus. I know people who will sit there opposite you in the pub over a beer and tell you Better Corsol was the best tea we've ever made, right? Better than, yeah. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But I feel like I maybe watched it in such a disjointed way that I didn't get the full value of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:27 And maybe I will try it again, but I found it very slow paced and actually quite boring. I thought it was brilliant, brilliantly acted, nice character studies and stuff like that. But I didn't think, I didn't feel really anything of the impact I felt when Saul turns up in Breaking Bad and he's like fucking out his soul. He's brilliant. Yeah. felt when Saul turns up and breaking bad and he's like, fucking hell, here's Saul, he's brilliant. It was a bit like, it felt to me a bit like, you know, you've had a really long day and you look, it's a hot day and you've been working hard
Starting point is 00:28:53 until you get home and you have a lovely beer, right? And it's fucking amazing, freezing cold beer, right? That's great, but I don't wanna have a beer every single waking minute. Mm. Okay. Right. Yeah. And so it just felt a bit like overkill to me. Too much soul. Anyway. Yeah. Yeah, too much soul. Anyway, let's do batteries, Peter.
Starting point is 00:29:14 All right. I'm sure I'll listen to what they think about that. Where Alan from Folsom, California. Yes, it is the same Folsom where Johnny Cash did the concert in the prison. Hello, Pete and Luke. I recently returned. Yes, it is the same Folsom where Johnny Cash did the concert in the prison. Hello Pete and Luke, I recently returned... Sorry Peter, which is one of my favourite live albums of all time, makes my top five. You're not going to be that interested in that.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Because of the caged men, there's something kind of repressed about them, very erotic and rings a fire. I look at the photos of the crowd at Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues record. It was also called Johnny Cash Live at Folsom Prison. I can't remember if that's the one I like or whether it's the San Quentin one. Anyway, doesn't matter. There's another one. Oz. That's another TV show. Oz. I look at the photos of the inmates in that press shot or whatever it is, artwork in the 60s and I like to imagine which ones are fucking each other.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair. That's absolutely fair. That's pretty cool, a lot of them. Well, maybe Alison. Alison, Alan from Folsom, California, could let us know if he finds out. I recently returned from a conference with a normal bag of IT vendor swag. Oh, brilliant. How many stress balls? How many pens? Mouse mats, mouse mats. Yeah, coin holders. One of the items was a flashlight, a torch in the UK, with these
Starting point is 00:30:28 babies in there. I'm hoping it is a new player. I really enjoy the show, Alan, and he's come up with... It sounds like the sort of... It sounds like an old baseball player. Malt Max. M-A-L-T. Malt Max. M-A-X. They're extra heavy duty. Your friend of mine, 0% Mercury, why
Starting point is 00:30:48 mention it then, Malt Max. They are the 14th Malt Max's we've seen. Oh that's a shame. People such as Brendan and Thomas and Michael and David and Chris and Tim van der Laan have sent in Malt Max's. He's not a new player with those I'm afraid Alan, but thank you very much for trying anyway. Oh, he walked the line.
Starting point is 00:31:09 He walked the line, but he used the wrong side of it, wasn't he? Teddy has got in touch. Afternoon gents, having had a fantastic evening enjoying the football ramble time tunnel, trademark. A friend and I were enjoying some overpriced pints in O'Neill's Carnaby Street discussing the show when lo and behold, like an apparition, Pete appeared out of the stage door.
Starting point is 00:31:27 We wandered over to say hello. I had pre-read these emails. We wandered over to say hello and like the true spectre he is, he slipped us some Procell Constance. They said, don't meet your heroes. Well, we did. And it was exactly as we would expect. Did that happen, Peter? It did happen. I don't know why I had them in my pocket though. Why would I have had batteries in my pocket? I think Teddy and his buddy, we...
Starting point is 00:31:52 I reckon you got your mic which malfunctioned. Oh yes that could be, yes that's right, yes the mic mount, that's property of the Pall palladium of the old Covent the old the old Rocksford Street palladium Well, well that definitely happened and sorry you were the steward of these delicious batteries But love the show mom. I'm not expecting the video player It feels appropriate to complete the battery circle of life and send them back to do you Donaldson Teddy? Thank you for that. I should really pre read these emails, but I didn't and that was a lovely surprise So thank you Teddy. Lovely to meet you and I hope you had a good time at the old Tyne tunnel. Yeah absolutely
Starting point is 00:32:29 second did. Oh fuck, I just remembered I didn't pay the Tyne tunnel fee and that's gonna cost me money. I love that mate because Football Round Ball Tyme tunnel has reminded you that you didn't pay the toll for the Tyne Tunnel. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. That's fucking great though. That's the universe giving you a message of that. Yeah, I'm not going to pay them. I'm going to forget. We've got other things to do for the next half an hour. I'm not going to remember either end of that.
Starting point is 00:32:56 I'm sorry about that. Well, it's just, you know, I've got a lot on my mind, yeah. Just write it down then, you maniac. I don't have a pen, do I? I've got loads of batteries. Anyway, Procell constants. They're the fifth Procell constants we've seen. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Never mind. But that's, I mean, in many ways, this is very much my fault, isn't it really? So I can't really, I can't really complain or criticise. It's good that you gave someone some batteries and they sent them back in though. That's great. Yeah, cracking. Good work, Teddy and the Core. Douglas has come in with greetings, looking Pete, love your show.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Here are some batteries I pulled out of my Nikon N2000. I purchased the camera from eBay and I've just got around to changing the batteries. They're Sunbeam, I hope they make it in. I'm gonna see what this Nikon 2000's all about, to be honest, N2000. He says, also Pete, he says, Pete, you should go visit El Salvador.
Starting point is 00:33:45 It's great. And you can pay for everything with your Bitcoin. Oh, that's right. Yes, they did. Didn't they? Didn't they get didn't they make it their national? Their national payment system, the initial currency. Yeah, but just to let Doug know, Doug, Pete can't go and spend
Starting point is 00:33:59 all the Bitcoin in El Salvador because his Bitcoin, well, it is shared with me and I won't sanction it. Won't allow it. Yeah, I know. I did have some Bitcoin, well it is shared with me and I won't sanction it. Won't allow it, yeah. No, I did have some Bitcoin but to buy a house I had to change it into normal money because the Halifax... What was your gas fee? The Halifax are just very, you know, regressive, conservative about what they think money is. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Oh, hang on. Peter, what gas fee did you have to pay to convert it? What's a gas fee? What's that? That's the fee you have to pay to convert Bitcoin into currency, isn't it? I don't know. It was a good amount of Bitcoin and it was a good amount of fees. Thanks very much, Carfax. Doug, Douglas, Doug.
Starting point is 00:34:41 You are the sixth person to say those. Oh Doug. Oh Doug. So no new players this week I'm afraid everyone. But you know, we go again. As Stephen Girard says, we go again. Enjoy your, and I quote, stunningly cheap film camera. Is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:34:57 The Nikon N2000. It's a real vogue for the art. It's a good looking camera to be fair. Lots of features, lots of ISO settings. I saw someone, I was at an event the other week that you didn't turn up to. Right. And as a host of quiz for some company.
Starting point is 00:35:15 And there was someone taking photos there with an old fashioned film camera. Right, okay. And it was a very trendy kind of company, very trendy event. Right, okay. And was a very trendy kind of company, very trendy event. Right, okay. And I just thought to myself, you could probably just do it with your phone and then put the filters on it.
Starting point is 00:35:32 You know, no one's going to know. You could, but I mean, I, on this very short explained that I process some black and white film by myself the start of last year. I know, I was very impressed with that. And I got very into film photography for about three weeks. I've got a new hobby actually, and I'm gonna tell you about it on Monday's show. So look out for that.
Starting point is 00:35:49 I look forward to that Peter. It's gonna delight and beguile. I almost guarantee it. This has been The Little Peach Show. We'll be back on Monday, look after yourselves.
