The Luke and Pete Show - Fiddling with your own shed

Episode Date: October 14, 2021

We 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.

Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:23 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.
Starting point is 00:00:31 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.
Starting point is 00:00:45 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
Starting point is 00:00:54 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
Starting point is 00:00:59 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.
Starting point is 00:01:06 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?
Starting point is 00:01:20 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
Starting point is 00:01:35 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.
Starting point is 00:01:48 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.
Starting point is 00:02:01 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
Starting point is 00:02:11 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.
Starting point is 00:02:18 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.
Starting point is 00:02:26 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.
Starting point is 00:02:42 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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
Starting point is 00:03:03 I've ever seen. Went sparky. He got thrown about six feet across the fucking room right and obviously electrocuted himself
Starting point is 00:03:11 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
Starting point is 00:03:17 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.
Starting point is 00:03:28 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.
Starting point is 00:03:39 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...
Starting point is 00:03:56 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.
Starting point is 00:04:08 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.
Starting point is 00:04:14 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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.
Starting point is 00:04:35 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
Starting point is 00:04:50 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
Starting point is 00:04:56 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
Starting point is 00:05:04 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
Starting point is 00:05:12 at the start oh no I mean like the things that have been built are very good very good it's just the
Starting point is 00:05:21 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?
Starting point is 00:05:31 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?
Starting point is 00:05:39 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
Starting point is 00:06:02 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
Starting point is 00:06:11 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
Starting point is 00:06:20 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
Starting point is 00:06:28 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
Starting point is 00:06:37 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:57 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
Starting point is 00:07:06 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
Starting point is 00:07:15 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
Starting point is 00:07:21 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
Starting point is 00:07:39 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.
Starting point is 00:07:52 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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
Starting point is 00:08:26 I'm against them disgusting disgusting they're just disgusting aren't they why just grim it's a fresh towel
Starting point is 00:08:31 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
Starting point is 00:08:41 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,
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:09 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.
Starting point is 00:09:25 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...
Starting point is 00:09:36 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
Starting point is 00:09:50 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
Starting point is 00:09:57 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
Starting point is 00:10:04 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
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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
Starting point is 00:11:05 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
Starting point is 00:11:13 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
Starting point is 00:11:21 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.
Starting point is 00:11:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:50 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
Starting point is 00:11:59 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
Starting point is 00:12:07 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
Starting point is 00:12:13 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
Starting point is 00:12:19 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.
Starting point is 00:12:29 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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,
Starting point is 00:12:51 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,
Starting point is 00:13:01 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
Starting point is 00:13:11 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
Starting point is 00:13:19 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.
Starting point is 00:13:28 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,
Starting point is 00:13:46 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.
Starting point is 00:14:00 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,
Starting point is 00:14:16 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.
Starting point is 00:14:27 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.
Starting point is 00:14:44 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.
Starting point is 00:14:58 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.
Starting point is 00:15:12 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,
Starting point is 00:15:21 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
Starting point is 00:15:27 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
Starting point is 00:15:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:42 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?
Starting point is 00:15:50 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.
Starting point is 00:15:59 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.
Starting point is 00:16:07 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
Starting point is 00:16:15 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
Starting point is 00:16:26 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?
Starting point is 00:16:34 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.
Starting point is 00:16:43 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
Starting point is 00:16:51 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
Starting point is 00:16:59 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.
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:34 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.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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...
Starting point is 00:17:53 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.
Starting point is 00:18:02 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
Starting point is 00:18:09 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
Starting point is 00:18:17 you're true yeah no he hasn't I mean there's there's 17 emails here commissions commiserations to you Joe Ryan B
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 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.
Starting point is 00:18:48 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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.
Starting point is 00:19:21 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.
Starting point is 00:19:35 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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
Starting point is 00:20:05 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
Starting point is 00:20:14 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
Starting point is 00:20:20 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
Starting point is 00:20:25 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
Starting point is 00:20:36 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
Starting point is 00:20:42 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
Starting point is 00:21:09 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
Starting point is 00:21:33 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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,
Starting point is 00:21:57 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
Starting point is 00:22:09 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
Starting point is 00:22:29 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:50 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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.
Starting point is 00:24:21 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
Starting point is 00:24:30 digital photography take a load and you can just delete the ones you don't need alright yeah it's 2007
Starting point is 00:24:36 so in many ways technology is a big arbiter of what's happened to you exactly exactly how many megapixels are we talking
Starting point is 00:24:41 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...
Starting point is 00:24:50 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.
Starting point is 00:25:03 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...
Starting point is 00:25:18 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.
Starting point is 00:25:41 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.
Starting point is 00:25:52 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?
Starting point is 00:26:07 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,
Starting point is 00:26:17 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.
Starting point is 00:26:27 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,
Starting point is 00:26:38 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
Starting point is 00:26:47 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
Starting point is 00:26:58 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?
Starting point is 00:27:06 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,
Starting point is 00:27:15 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,
Starting point is 00:27:25 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
Starting point is 00:27:32 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
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:46 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.
Starting point is 00:27:55 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
Starting point is 00:28:06 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
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:28:22 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
