The Luke and Pete Show - Fiddling with your own shed
Episode Date: October 14, 2021We come to you this Thursday with bad news. Pete's shed has stopped working! All the electrics have packed in and our eponymous hero is left wondering what to do. Hopefully he can get it sorted before... the weather gets really cold.Elsewhere, we talk the improvement in hand driers, the etiquette of the public toilet, a man that left skidmarked pants at Pete's house and the time his Dad nearly killed a man. Yes you read that correctly, and no those two incidents are not related.To get in touch, it's hello@lukeandpeteshow.com! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back on the Luke and Pete show.
Two boys in a room.
It's never been done before.
Are we still boys?
Are we still boys?
I think we could be.
We're quite boyish in our outlook, I think.
Shall we take our shackets off?
It's a bit warm in here, isn't it?
I'll take my shacket off. Take your shack't it? I'll take my shacket off.
I'll take your shacket off.
I'll take my shacket off, yeah.
How's it going?
All right, yeah.
Looks good.
I've just been recording a Luke and Pete show, Luke.
Have you done a special brood check yet?
I haven't done a special brood check.
I have not had time.
Oh, I've got a full week.
I've got Sparky coming around tomorrow.
Nice.
Because all the electronics went off in the cabin.
My shodded little cabin.
Shed. round tomorrow because all the electronics went off in the cabin my shodded little cabin shed and I mean
it could be
water damage
it could be
just the electrics
just getting a bit
old
it's on a different
system to the rest
of the house
or it could be
that I made a few
modifications to the
house with my big
wall
have you really
well look
how is it a different
system what does
that mean
it's on a different
part of the board
effectively it's on one side of the board, effectively.
It's on one side of the board.
It's supposed to be circuit protective,
but it isn't because it flips everything.
So I probably just did a little drill drill into a wire wire.
Even though I had all those beepy things.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
To check all the bloody things.
It's a nightmare.
Did I ever tell you I had a job once as an electrician's labourer?
In New Zealand.
I mean, it was hard.
Hard work.
It's kind of what spurred me on
to just talk crap for a living.
And what the job was,
was this company had the commission
to do electrical refits
for shopping centres.
So they would basically go into
one part of a shopping centre,
close that bit down,
strip all the old shit out,
and rewire the new shit.
And my job was partly to pull the old shit out.
Yeah.
And obviously to do that,
you have to be able to check that the cables aren't live.
So they give you a little pen.
Yeah.
And you follow it around.
Yeah.
That's what you're referring to, right?
No, I'm actually referring to a stud and electricity detector.
So it detects metal in the studs,
and it also detects anything with an AC
AC?
Yeah, AC current.
So what we had
so they would say
that we shut all that
part of it down
but double check
with this pen
because you don't want
people putting that
shit to life.
No.
I get that.
That's less than ideal.
Probably was.
When I was in New Zealand
I was working with
I was probably
what I would say
the only
like western
white labourer.
It's a way to imagine that New Zealanders
aren't Western. No, because they're all Maori.
Yeah, yeah, okay. Oh, right.
It was all Maori guys and me.
And the Maori guys were all about 25
stone. And strong.
Had a very strong,
embarrassingly strong. Like just proper men.
Bearing in mind that I can only just about get
myself up a ladder.
And also a very lackadaisical attitude to health embarrassingly strong. Like just proper men. Bearing in mind that I can only just about get myself up a ladder. Right?
And also a very lackadaisical attitude
to health and safety.
Just like,
not bothered.
Not bothered.
Like,
none of them had the pens.
Didn't bother using them.
I saw one guy
clip through a cable
with some nail pullers,
which are all completely metal.
And it was one of the weirdest things
I've ever seen.
Went sparky.
He got thrown
about six feet
across the fucking room
right
and obviously
electrocuted himself
and just sort of
shook his head a bit
and got up
the fucking foreman
came running over
like it was like
sit down
you okay
blah blah
everything like that
and called the first aider over
called the fucking doctor
and the ambulance guy
was like
yeah if you weren't 400 pounds or whatever,
200 kilos, you'd probably be dead.
Yeah.
But you're fine.
And then the foreman just went, right,
can you all please make sure you are using your detecting pens?
Thanks.
And carried on and nothing changed.
I was like, this is crazy.
This is insane.
Anyway, so that was my one experience of electrical work.
It was so hard.
I remember about three or four weeks in,
up a ladder, looking up into a roof.
Because you know everything's in the roof.
Yeah.
It's shoppers that you push those little tiles on.
Have you ever...
And painters and decorators listening to this
will absolutely know what I mean.
Because I had a bit of a job painting salons once,
and that was awful as well.
It's really hard to hold stuff up.
Hard on the wrists and the well. It's really hard to hold stuff up. Hard on the
wrists and the shoulder.
Yeah, really rough.
So I remember
at one point
falling asleep
at the top of a ladder.
It was so hard
because you start at like
six in the morning.
That's not ideal.
Yeah, it's terrible.
You don't want that in your life.
Anyway, carry on.
The shed.
What was the...
Oh yeah, no.
So the man has to come round
and rebuild my electricity
unfortunately.
That's a bit annoying.
Were you standing around kind of nodding
and pretending you know what you're talking about?
I pretended that it wasn't me who installed the walls.
I'll tell them that.
Yeah, we had some fucking cowboy come in.
These have all been some pedas.
Yeah, it's Paul Dummit.
The key, as we've already talked about a number of times
on this show, and for everyone listening,
this is absolutely key.
If you know nothing about home improvements
and you get someone in to do it
you need to show them
you know just about enough
for them not to be able
to rip you off
yes
I think so yeah
but not so much
that they think
why isn't he doing this himself
he must be a bluffer
it's a really difficult sweet spot
yeah
I obviously reached the apex of it
when the roofer said
I was a proper fella
remember I told you
yeah
it's exactly the sweet spot you want
and it only cost me
25 grand
yeah that's gonna
this is gonna cost me as well
but
would it cost you less
if you hadn't tried
doing it yourself
at the start
oh no
I mean like
the things that have been built
are very good
very good
it's just
the
I've clearly just
nicked a wire somewhere
how much is it gonna cost you up to 500 quid I think which isn't too bad but it's just the I've clearly just nicked a wire somewhere how much is it going to cost you?
up to 500 quid I think
which isn't too bad
but it's still
not ideal
how long will it last?
what?
how long will the wires last?
it will last forever
hopefully forever
but it's value then isn't it?
it's the adding value
speaking of electrics
can I just say something?
I don't think we talk enough
about electrics
about how
hand dryers have improved
right okay are we talking about the
like the dyson airblade and all that business i think when i was driving up to the lake district
stopped a couple times on the way up a couple times on the way back service station go for a
piss wash your hands use a hand dryer i think it's rare to find a bad hand right now and there never
used to be a good one now if you have ever been
where I live
it's kind of
you know
the faded glamour
of Southend
effectively
and
a lot of the public toilets
have those
excruciatingly
ones that seem
very futuristic
in the late 80s
you're in Lyon C though right
I'm in Lyon C
but it's down the road
from Southend
and there's a lot of
kind of public toilets
that have those
big metal aluminium kind of construct toilets that have those big metal
aluminium kind of constructions
where you put your hand in
and they do soap
and they do water
and they do
and it's like
an old lady breathing
on your hands
it's terrible
so you still see
those ones around
you used to get them
you used to see those
in McDonald's
that was their kind of
how they used to do it
but they don't do it like that anymore
that's a legacy problem.
That is a legacy problem.
What I'm saying is...
All right, a new one.
I cannot stress enough how difficult it was
to find a hand dryer anywhere that was even serviceable.
But they were pointless.
Yeah, it was no point.
Completely pointless.
You're just wiping it on the back of your trousers, aren't you?
Exactly.
Whereas now, you've got the Nukers on the block,
you've got the Dysons, you've got the other guys.
They're decent.
And the way that...
It's actually quite fascinating how the Dyson one works got the Dysons you've got the other guys they're decent and the way that actually it's actually
quite fascinating how
the Dyson one works
because the Dyson one
doesn't actually dry
your hands it works
like a windscreen
wiper it blasts the
water off so that's
why you see a big
collection of water
in the tank underneath
and they have to
change it or if it's
not done properly
it's on the floor
so what's happened
with hand dryer
technology with hand
dryer ideas is they've
gone from how can we dry your hands
to let's just get the water off your hands,
which I guess in a weird way is a similar way to thing to drying,
which has done a completely different approach,
which I think is amazing.
And I don't remember the last time I've gone to dry my hands
and it's been a poor effort.
I had no idea that the Dyson Airblade collects the water underneath.
And of course it would do.
It's got to go somewhere, hasn't it?
Yeah.
I want to drink it.
The forbidden drink.
Oh, God.
That would be the forbidden drink.
Because technically, if you've washed your hands properly,
it should be clean.
That's your special brew.
Sterile.
That's my special brew.
Yeah, that would be a very special brew.
Oh, Lord.
That is actually how they make special brew.
But all I was going to say was I was always a very committed paper towel man.
Yeah.
And in recent months, I've started to convert.
Because I always had a thing in the back of my mind about the environment.
A lot of the paper towel dispensers, you've got to take about six of them out.
And it's bad for the environment.
Where do you stand on those little rotating
I'm against them
disgusting
disgusting
they're just disgusting
aren't they
why
just grim
it's a fresh towel
boiled
like
you pull them on a rotation thing
yeah
because the bottom bit's all dirty
well just don't touch the bottom bit
do you know what
it always puts me in mind
of a couple of friends I know
one of the
which is a hotelier
and he said never underestimate how disgusting people are in hotel rooms.
We talked about this before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just because you've been brought up properly and you do your thing
where you strip the bed down and we all leave it as we found it,
you know, I would be mortified.
Because I've got your name and your number.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
But he said, no, most people are just disgusting.
And I feel like that in public toilets.
What, people just do what they want?
Oh, come on, it's awful.
Piss on the seat.
Yeah.
That's a law point for humanity, I think.
It annoys me that people were like that,
because it's almost a bit...
Because, like, I don't know, I can remember,
speaking of the electrician labouring thing as well,
obviously that whole part of the thing will be closed off.
And you'd have to go into,
for example, the women's toilets.
The women's toilets are beautiful.
They've never been used.
It's like they've never been used.
Smell fragrant.
And then you go into a men's toilet
and it's like, this is like...
It's like, why does it smell of fish?
Why does it smell of fish?
Where's that come from?
I don't think that women know enough
that men have to go through the battle
of the fucking Somme
to go use a public toilet
there's a couple of bars
that have used
the premises of like
you know those underground
London
sort of toilets
public toilets and stuff
yeah they get converted
to bars
they get converted to bars
I'm in there
and I'm like
I want to know
whether it's the boys or girls
I can't shake it
I can't shake what it used to be
a lot of people don't shake it
that's the fucking problem piss everywhere it's a bit like girls. I can't shake it. I can't shake what it used to be. A lot of people don't shake it. That's the fucking problem.
Piss everywhere. It's a bit like moving
into a house on an Indian burial ground.
No, thank you. I'm not doing it.
I'm just not doing it.
Anyway, Pete, what else has been going on?
Dad told me a story about how he nearly killed
a man on a boat once. He was
saying that he was up the
top of the mast, because obviously the mast is where you keep
all the comms equipment, the radar and all the business. And he was up really high. How big, because obviously the mast is where you keep all the comms equipment,
the radar and all the business.
And he was up really high.
How big's the boat?
Well, it's a ship.
The HMS Penelope, I believe.
So it's a big boy.
And he's up the top and he's fixing something.
And he's supposed to skewer all your tools,
because if you're up there and it falls and bonks someone on the head,
Bad news.
Bad juju, bad news.
And he had a big industrial roll of electrical tape,
like massive, like big, big roll of silver tape.
And it was like thick and heavy.
And if it hit someone on the head,
it would very easily kill them.
From speed tape that planes use.
Exactly.
Where's that gone?
It used to be somewhere in the office.
Yeah, so really heavy
and he
and he said
it was at the thing
and it
it fell off
it secured it
with like this twine
this kind of orange twine
twine
it was some twine
and they didn't have
enough metal wire
to secure it
so yeah he used some twine
and the twine snapped
and it just
came down
and this guy
his
his manager
was was fixing something electrical in a cupboard on deck and it just came down. And this guy, his manager,
was fixing something electrical in a cupboard on deck.
And it hit the deck, bang, right behind this guy,
and then bounced over the side of the ship.
And my dad was like, the guy came out,
and he was like, what the fuck just happened there? It was really close to his head, big bang.
Because the tape had bounced
over the side of the shed.
No evidence.
No evidence at all.
It's almost a perfect crime.
It's a perfect crime.
So my dad could have,
like,
just kind of walked past him whistling.
I don't know why I'm there.
Did he get busted?
He didn't get busted,
no.
Because my dad stayed completely silent
up the mast.
Yeah.
And so this guy was just looking around
going,
what the bloody hell just happened there?
If he'd have looked up,
he'd have seen my dad
with his lack of electrical tape
so my dad got away with it
how did your dad
get some more tape though
he's got to come down
hasn't he
at some point
he's not stopped there
he wouldn't pay you
that much
are you sure
that wasn't the story
that your dad just told
to impress his new mate
with a rifle
probably yeah
oh yeah
because he's an ex-squaddy
yeah war's hell isn't it
yeah
yeah war's hell yeah
yeah no I missed out on the Falcons
by a couple of years, but yeah.
Did he? Your dad did, yeah?
Yeah, he missed out.
He was snarling, he said.
He got right out of the Navy
and then he...
I don't know why my dad refused
to do the Luke and Pete show a few weeks ago,
even though I sent him a microphone and webcam.
He refused to do it
because he just values his privacy.
I talk about him every fucking week
on this thing.
There's no privacy.
The thing is,
you don't value his privacy.
And nor do our listeners.
No, exactly.
But yeah,
he missed out on it.
He came out in the Navy
and then the Falklands
happened and he was like,
I want to get out there.
I want to fight the war.
Because obviously,
you know,
Navy was heavily involved.
Absolutely.
But, and then a year later he was like, I've been fighting over Conebridge and because obviously you know Navy was heavily involved but absolutely but
and then a year later
he was like
I've been fighting over Comrie
doesn't really matter
showing off now
showing off now
can I tell you a story about
he's been de-radicalised
I'm trying to
I'm trying to link this
without being disrespectful
to your dad
right
he doesn't listen
and he doesn't care
okay
right
speaking of
incompetence at work
no I'm only joking although this is. Speaking of incompetence at work.
No, I'm only joking.
Although this is a story about incompetence at work.
I found a story the other day,
which I think our listeners will very much enjoy.
It's an 18-month-old story or two-year-old story or something.
But anyway, there's a pilot who had to resign from South African Airways
because he was found to have a fake license, right?
Right.
So South African Airways said that, you know,
we found this pilot's paperwork to be forged
after a reported incident during a flight
from South Africa to Germany.
And they've...
When he shouted, what the hell is that?
It was a radar tower.
Can they still do a loop-de-loop?
Yeah.
And they fired him and they're seeking criminal damages
for fraud and all the rest of it, right?
Anyway, that's quite interesting.
This was in March of 2019.
Guess when he started working for them as a pilot?
Guess.
Well, look, if he's done his time as a pilot
and didn't have the qualifications,
I'd say he's earned those qualifications.
Two years?
1994.
Oh, no.
25 years without incident.
For me, that qualifies you.
That qualifies you.
And that should be his defence, his criminal defence.
Can I fly a plane or not fly a plane?
He was a senior first officer, right?
Good lord.
But check this out, where he almost always worked
as what they've called a monitoring pilot,
where he didn't actually command the aircraft physically.
Right.
He just oversaw it.
He just oversaw it, right.
So what happened was, after 20-odd years, Well, he didn't actually command the aircraft physically. Right. So he just oversaw it. Oh, he just oversaw it, right.
So what happened was, after 20-odd years,
he was actually asked to be in control of a plane.
Oh, and he couldn't do it.
Going over the Swiss Alps to Germany.
And his co-partner reported that he, quote,
made some strange turns.
Fucking hell!
So he never actually committed,
he never actually dirtied his boots as a proper pilot. He just managed to sort of float around.
What a gig.
What a gig.
The thing I found baffling about this,
as well as terrifying,
there's so many layers to this story.
Because one,
as it shows you,
I guess,
how safe planes are,
I suppose.
But two,
on fairly certain pilots are supposed to refresh their license every year.
Yeah,
you'd think they'd have to do certain...
Pilot Neil,
the rest of the pilot days,
the rest of the pilot guys,
have always been in touch. So I'm in the simulator doing my refresh or whatever. They have to do pilot Neil the rest of the pilot days the rest of the pilot guys have always been in touch
so I'm in the
simulator doing
my refresh
or whatever
they have to do it
so how
just how negligent
is this company
for letting him
do this for so long
that's great
and we've flown
some African airlines
you know
we could have
been on this plane
I've flown
about three or four times
I was doing my
charity work
terrible
terrible stuff stop there because you don't want to talk my charity work. Terrible. Terrible stuff.
Stop there,
because you don't want to talk
about your charity work.
But, I mean,
should we be worried about that?
Should there be an immediate audit
of every single pilot?
Because I've got a few questions
about some of the ones
that have emailed into this show,
to be honest.
Yeah, they shouldn't be listening
to the Luke and Pete show.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
I mean, look,
he shouldn't be doing that,
but what a gig.
Just people going, is this all right? Yeah, I mean, look, he shouldn't be doing that, but what a gig. Just people going,
is this all right?
Yeah, I guess so.
Is there no
air of embarrassment
for South African Airlines
that they've let someone
get away with this for so long?
No.
It's like, don't worry.
Someone slipped through the net
a couple of weeks ago.
We've nipped it in the bud.
It's like,
someone slipped through the net
in 1994.
He made some strange turns.
What other job could you have
when you carried on for that long
and no one noticed?
It kind of reminds me of that episode
of The Simpsons
where Homer finds himself
in the cockpit of the plane.
Yeah, I've worked with a few places.
You're like,
are you qualified for this?
What, in this company?
Yeah.
And where Homer's going,
I'm not a pilot.
And the guy's going,
ah, you fly boys,
crack me up.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Ah, you guys crack me up.
That kind of thing.
Classic. But you're right crack me up. Curthy. Classic.
But you're right.
There are bluffers everywhere.
Most of the time,
those said bluffers
aren't responsible
for the safety
of literally thousands
of people all the time.
You don't want that.
You just don't want it.
Do not want that.
Let's have a quick break.
Let's renew our pilot licenses
and when we come back,
we'll do a few more emails.
How about that?
Oh, we've got to do
battery browns as well
because it's Thursday
so we'll do that at the back of the break.
All right.
See you in a minute.
Okie dokie.
We're back for the battery brands, boys.
What have we got this week?
Who has come up with a unique brand that we've never heard before?
We get so many battery brand submissions now,
I've almost just entirely focused on people with names that please me.
Right.
So first up is Peter Pennington.
That's enjoyable.
I like that immensely.
He submits a Fenya Tech.
Fenya Tech.
If you've got it there in front of you,
so you can search it.
Fenya Tech.
Because I think it might be a new player.
I think it might be a new player as well.
Yeah, I'm getting nothing.
I'm getting nothing.
Congratulations to you, Peter Pennington.
P squared.
A Fenya Tech.
A new battery player has entered the game.
Fantastic.
And as ever,
he's submitted a photo
which is absolutely vital.
If you don't submit a photo,
you could just be
sending a word in.
It's a nice...
Look, they've chosen
a really poor bit
of typography.
They've chosen
a terrible font for it.
It's like green.
Yeah.
Two kinds of green.
It's like an afterthought.
It does look like an afterthought.
A lot of these designs are.
So that's one new player
we've got four in total this week
Joe Reynolds
has sent in an
Ntop
E-N-T-O-P
we've had Ntop so many times
I'm not even going to be
searching for that
I thought that
I like to encourage people
I don't want to be too dismissive
so Joe's got a chance
you're true
yeah no
he hasn't
I mean there's
there's 17 emails here
commissions
commiserations to you Joe
Ryan B
Midimax two words Midimax Midimax is that a new player and there's 17 emails here. Commiserations to you, Joe. Ryan B, MidiMax.
Two words, MidiMax.
MidiMax.
Is that a new player?
MidiMax.
It's not a new player,
but there's only one entry for that.
Actually, no, two.
Ryan B sent it this time around.
We've had one from Tom Smith
and also Greg Sleet.
Commiserations to you, Ryan,
but keep trying.
There is no end of battery brands out there.
You may be able to find one sooner or later.
Craig Suter.
This is my personal favourite of the week.
Craig Suter drew our attention to these.
Pittsburgh Steeler batteries.
Batteries with Pittsburgh Steelers on them.
Now.
Probably sold in the club shop or something.
Are we allowing this?
Because I can't help but think that this is it's more of a promotional tool
rather than the actual thing itself. I'm not sure
we should allow those. Okay, congratulations
to you
Mr Souter for your
kind of ingenuity
but I think because they are marketing
tools, they're just rebadged. Yes.
We're not going to have it. Yeah.
I've got the NFL brand on them, not having that.
Get fucked. So that's a no.
So congratulations to Peter Pennington.
Commiserations to the rest of you, Joe, Ron and Craig.
Keep them coming in.
We'll do a handful more next Thursday.
We certainly will.
I've got a message here from Fergus.
We were talking about last week, Squid Games.
Still don't watch any of it, Luke.
Apologies.
But we were talking about Red Light, Green Light,
slash Mr. Wolf.
What time is it, Mr. Wolf?
That game we used to play in the schoolyard.
And I couldn't remember how it all ended.
What happens if you got too close to Mr. Wolf?
Fergus says, gents, as I recall,
if you get to Mr. Wolf and tap them on the shoulder,
you win.
And then you become Mr. Wolf yourself,
starting a new cycle of lupine terror.
Thank you very much for that, Fergus.
Who apparently is the advocate of the
post lawn mowing beer
so a very illustrious
alumnus of the show
depending on how
old your lawn mower
is
I find
I find cutting grass
quite therapeutic
yeah I've seen you
do it quite a few times
I was surprised
at how much
you got into it
yeah
it's something I'm into
I'm not going to
spoil the squid game
because it wouldn't
be correct
especially if you
haven't seen it
and I think you
should watch it because I'd be really interested
in your insight
because of your reasonable
amount of knowledge
of the Far East.
There's a bit in it
there's a plot point in it
which I think was so bad
that it almost ruined
my enjoyment of it.
It didn't.
I still rate it.
I still liked it.
I still followed it through
to the end
and I still enjoyed it
but there's a plot point
about three quarters
of the way through.
Everyone listening
who's seen it will know what I'm talking about and it was so poor
that it takes you out of the whole thing right so watch out for that you'll know what i mean as soon
as you see it um okay what about this from let's do this one from mark actually martin roberts
um who says hi both long time listener first time emailer the reason i'm reading this one out pete
because i want you to help me try and work this out he says uh um disposal of smelly or
manky food we're talking about that a while back me and my fiancee have access i have access to
just flush it down the toilet because that way it's out of the house immediately no need to worry
about bad smells hanging around the house obviously you put worse down the toilet so whatever um so
that's the point that's the email he gets in. That's the subject he emails in about.
However, he also says this.
Long time listener, first time emailer.
Thanks for all the great audio over the years.
I met you both once at a work party
and you couldn't have been nicer chaps.
Right, okay.
Where would we have met Mark Roberts at a work party?
Mark Roberts at a work party.
We've only done one work job together
and that was Capital.
I don't remember.
Maybe he was at a work party. But've only done one work job together, and that was Capital. I don't remember. Maybe he was at a work party.
But why were we there?
Cutting about.
We're like the work party crashers.
We're not like wedding crashers.
First of all,
you refused to go out drinking with me,
first and foremost.
Secondly,
why would we be at someone else's work party?
I don't get it.
So Mark needs to get back in touch
and give us some information.
I'm slightly terrified
he's someone that we both know
quite well, we've just misremembered him.
Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Like a
work party. It had to be. Yeah, it had to be
that he must have been having a work party
and we will have been just kind of cutting
about. Forgive the self-indulgence,
but we don't normally get that kind
of email. It kind of just made me think, what the hell is going on?
He's spooked out. And I want to finish today
with, a little bit, with an email from tom um and this email is entitled by me a disastrous
ipod sync regular listeners will know that i do little things to remind myself this is called a
disastrous ipod sync says good morning gents i thought i'd chip in on the subject discovering
parents porn collection oh the year was 2007 and several pals and i were off to cavos for a week
of drunken shenanigans.
Prior to the flight, a friend of mine had told me he'd been up the night before updating his iPod,
but had run out of time, so decided to sync his dad's entire music collection.
An hour or so into the flight, my friend was nodding off, so I asked to borrow his iPod, to which he duly obliged.
I spun through a couple of albums, but still couldn't find anything I was particularly into.
I spun through a couple of albums, but still couldn't find anything I was particularly into.
I decided to delve deeper into the iPod's depths and discovered he had also accidentally synced his dad's photos.
Nice, please. Yes.
Among photos of family Christmases, foreign holidays and his sister's graduation was a folder containing several hundred photos of my friend's mother in some rather uncompromising positions.
Being a good friend, and only being 20 years old,
I decided the best way to treat this rather delicate discovery was, Pete... Look at them.
Yeah, and show all the rest of the group.
Well, my friend was asleep.
Oh, no.
He discovered what had happened, and when we landed,
and one of the first acts he did on that holiday
was to throw his iPod into the sea.
Thanks for the many hours of fun,
and many hours of...
Oh, sorry.
He says, thanks for many hours of fun.
I've had listened to you guys on several of the stuff.
Thanks, Tom.
Now, I got busted once for reading an email out,
which was obviously fake.
Was that fake, that one there, do you think?
Nah, it seems pretty standard stuff, doesn't it?
It's very easy to...
Because, you know, the iPods did used to sync photos as well. So that kind of works. Yeah, it's disappointing, though, isn't it? It's stuff, doesn't it? It's very easy to, because, you know, the iPods did used to sync photos as well.
So that kind of works.
Yeah, it's disappointing though, isn't it?
It's disappointing, isn't it?
Because, like, you presume with iCloud and stuff
or the iOS system that you wouldn't really be able to sync those.
But yeah, the dad's had a bit.
But it's the dad's fault.
He shouldn't leave it out in the open, so to speak.
Why?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Why do you need
400 photos
of your wife
in an uncompromising position
take a look
on an iPod
digital photography
take a load
and you can just
delete the ones
you don't need
alright
yeah
it's 2007
so in many ways
technology is a big
arbiter of what's
happened to you
exactly
exactly
how many megapixels
are we talking
I didn't think
you could sync across
to a different device
that easily back in the day you could sync across to a different device that easily.
Back in the day, you could, yeah.
Right.
It was all free and easy.
So that's pre-DRM kind of...
Pre-DRM.
Pre-all that business.
That's a shame.
That is a shame.
But I hope that person got over it.
I doubt he did.
It's the kind of thing, if you're talking about 2007,
that's almost 15 years ago.
He's probably still getting ribbed for that now.
Yeah. But nowadays, I think you grow up and sort of go, It's the kind of thing that if you talk about 2007, that's almost 15 years ago. He's probably still getting ribbed for that now.
Yeah.
But nowadays, I think you grow up and sort of go,
right, okay, I think I can probably handle that.
And there'll be so many people who've had these kind of experiences, I suppose.
But it's just funny that he kind of showed all his friends.
I mean, I...
I don't think it is funny.
I think it's disgraceful.
In the recent past,
I had some friends around the house.
And one of those friends, a rather large gentleman,
left what could only be described as some soiled pants in my house.
How long ago was this?
I don't think that's important.
This is brilliant.
I want to try and work out who it is.
And I picked up the soiled pants. In the bathroom? Yeah. Where were they? It's on. This is brilliant. I want to try and work out how it is. And I picked up the soiled pants.
In the bathroom?
Yeah.
Where were they?
On the floor?
Well, he'd left quite a lot of clothing by accident.
He'd just unpacked his suitcase properly.
Oh, right.
And so I was left with these pants.
I was left with a lot of clothing,
but one of the items was a soiled pair of pants.
How badly soiled?
They were white pants.
One little skid?
A comprehensive skidding,
I think it's fair to say.
It's an event
rather than,
you know,
all of those need washing.
So I didn't wash that pair.
I threw them in the bin,
but not before taking
a picture of them
and sending it to the other friends
who were on the trip.
Is that fair?
Is that fair?
I don't know.
It was just a weird thing to leave behind personally.
If I'd shot my kegs,
I'd probably be quite careful about where I left them.
I think if I'd done it,
I probably would have just told you.
Yeah.
By the way, this is a bit of a problem.
This is a bit of a problem.
Because the thing for me,
the thing that doesn't add up there,
and maybe you are within your rights,
because...
I've got some shitty pants in my house.
That's point number four
about point number four
but the first point
I was going to make was
if I'm staying in
someone's house
and I shit myself
I'm probably going to
have to tell them
and I think it's only
fair to tell them
it's embarrassing
I probably wouldn't
say it in front of
the wife they have
access to
I'd probably just say
look can I have a
quick word
and can we solve this together can we come to some sort of I know you've asked for none of this of the wife they have access to, I'd probably just say, look, can I have a quick word?
And can we solve this together?
Can we come to some sort of... I know you've asked for none of this.
Right.
This is in your house.
Yeah.
This is within the boundaries of your home.
This is what's happened.
And the point is,
at the very least,
I wouldn't have forgotten that it happened.
Yeah.
So I wouldn't have left
that particular thing behind.
Because in many ways,
if something massive happens,
like you shit yourself,
you're going to be... The one yeah you're going to be the one thing
you're going to pack
is that
if anything
you're going to forget
everything else
yes exactly
I'm notorious for leaving
my toilet bag
in everyone's house
I never remember it
because I leave it
in the toilet
or the bathroom sorry
and I pack my stuff
I don't go back
into the bathroom
because it's rare
you go to the bathroom
before you're about to leave
and bang
I leave it
you leave it yeah
I'm not leaving skinny pants no simple as that, I leave it. You leave it, yeah.
I'm not leaving skinny pants.
No.
Simple as that.
I'd throw them out the window.
But yeah, so if you ever left any soiled underwear.
Is it someone I know?
No.
Oh, fine.
That's all good.
All good.
All right, on that note,
that's probably the only way we can leave the show this week,
isn't it? Yeah.
Thanks very much for listening.
Please do not send us in stories about shitty pants.
We had been on a rollercoaster
some hours before
maybe that was related
very traumatic
very traumatic
I'm not a fan of a rollercoaster
I saw a really cute thing
the other day
of a little toddler
who wasn't big enough
to go on a rollercoaster
but was really desperate
to go on it
so his dad
or her dad
I forget it was a boy or a girl
their dad had put
a big screen in front of them
in the house
put them in their
little high chair thing
and did a simulator thing
nice
and was standing behind him
like bumping up and down
the chair
absolutely loving it
that's great
it was amazing
I like that

roller coasters
