it's monday the 9th of august how the flipping heck did that happen pete donaldson with you on the luke and pete short luke is still away so i'm joined by who've we got from the stacon of extended marvel universe it's chris broad from abroad in japan we've killed luke and now you are back i see your second appearance on the uh on the old luca peach show uh are you excited are you nervous are you confused are you tired you know absolutely no one else was available when you have to call me and Pete 8,000 miles away on the far side of the world it must be desperate today I've got my, I had my, I sent some microphone equipment to my dad

I was going to have my dad on the show but it's not arrived yet so we'll see how that one pans out maybe the next show will be me and my dad having a chat for half an hour that'll be good, have you ever done that? have you ever had him on a show before? we've had him on a couple of shows. He's quite nervous about it just because he doesn't want people

knowing where he lives, etc. But, I mean, people can find you, Dad. People can find you these days. Don't worry about it. Stop being weird. You know. Presumably somewhere

in Hartlepool. Yeah. I mean, I just think he thinks that someone's going to lay a claim knowing my dad's chequered past that someone's going to lay a claim

to my dad's hundred grand Hartlepool mansion that he's got that will no doubt be sold to look after my mom in her dotage. So, yeah. Bless her. She knows full well how this is going to work. We're not going to be inheriting anything by the end of that, so don't worry. I'm not a big idiot.

What a legend. So, yes, we've had Vish, uh patricia andraja from uh the football ramble he's been in tokyo for the olympics reporting on well what i like about the olympics chris is that like it's kind of like a grab bag of like it's like it's like it's like omakase it's like uh the the chef's choice it's like it's it's like a tasting menu of of sporting events it's just kind of like the you know one day you'd be watching cycling, then it's fencing, then it's, you know, skateboarding, then it's like hurling.

I don't know whether hurling's in the Olympics, but either way, like it's so, like I never get into the Olympics until the Olympics are on and I'm like, oh, I understand why this is cool because it's a different event every single time. Have you managed to watch any of it? Because at the end of the day, you are in Japan, you're on the right time zone, so you should be able to have consumed some of it at least.

I have watched only a five-second clip of the opening ceremony where there was a cool display with drones, and that is about it. I feel a sense of guilt, but then I don't have a TV, and that is how you watch the Olympics, isn't it? You don't have a TV. What is how you watch the olympics in it tv you don't have a tv what is the what is the tv licensing situation in japan because does nhk the uh the uh national uh broadcaster very much like our bbc is there a is there a um tv license sort of situation in in the land of the

the rising tv licenses yeah there is i think you've got to pay like 120 quid a year but it's really it's like the bbc in the sense that nobody a lot of people don't pay it so what happens is once you plugged in the tv every now and then you'll hear a knock on the door and it'll be the nhk man or woman mainly men though right and they'll try and pry their way in to see if you've got a tv and if you've got a tv you typically have to pay it whether you've got a TV. And if you've got a TV, you typically have to pay it, whether you've got it plugged in or not. And I always say, I always go, oh, no Japanese, understand though. No, I have to go now. Bye bye. Foreigners get away with so much bullshit in Japan. It's a disgrace. It is. And I'm just as bad as anyone. But no, it's ridiculous. I don't watch TV. I think if I did watch TV, I would be ethical.

I might pay it. I might pay the fee. But until that day, I do have a TV to be clear. I do have a TV. It's just not plugged into the aerial. So I don't need to pay it. But the thing is, Chris, the thing with Japanese houses is that they're really small. So from the front door, the TV licensed NHK man

can probably sort of go, probably see from the doorway that you're clearly watching Match of the Day or whatever the Japanese equivalent is. I keep the door very, when I open it, it's very, very short distance. They're not coming in. They're not seeing the TV and I'm not paying the NHK fee. But no, I do feel a sense of guilt

for not watching the Olympics. Obviously, it i do feel a sense of guilt for not watching the olympics obviously it's been a big part of my entire nine years in japan like every minute of every day for the last nine years yeah all i've heard is oh the olympics are coming oh the olympics coming oh covid's ruined it but we still got it on and it's delayed the other year and that's on but i yeah i i think it went well from what i understand it's gone well though and there was a lot of, like a lot of people weren't happy about the Olympics. Before the Olympics, most people didn't want it. But I think now it's over and done with. Most people are kind of just glad that it took place,

given that it cost an awful lot of money. And they nearly lost it all. Any update? There was a man who was on hunger strike outside. Yeah, yeah. I think some stadium. He was a bit, it all got a bit fathers for justice sort of thing

where dads who didn't have rights to access as kids, he was appealing to the French premier during the Olympics because he knew that the eyes of the world would be on him. And he was conducting, I think he chained himself to one of the stadiums and he was refusing to eat food until he had access to his kids.

Any further news on that or has it just all gone a bit quiet? I haven't really kept up on what happened there. I do know that news story overshadowed the Olympics before it was taking place. Really, right. In Japan, when you get divorced or break up the the mother always has custody it's not like a split custody thing unless you get your mother to the mother to cooperate in that case i think he his wife took his kid

away from him he didn't see his kid since and it's a big problem like abductions for people here in mixed relationships with a Japanese man or woman, they often just whisk them away back to Japan. They don't get to see them again. And so he was contesting that, that his wife had taken his kid away from him. And a lot of Japanese parents actually supported him and sort of traveled from across the country to cheer him on and sort of talk to him and tell their stories

because it's also happened to them as well. A lot of Japanese fathers have had their kids abducted and taken away and they haven't seen them either. So, yeah, it was a pretty big issue that it brought light to it. Whether it's going to have any changes or impact remains to be seen, though. I'm not overly optimistic, unfortunately. Well, it was quite interesting getting, because, you know, I absolutely bummed Japan, love that place. And vish on on the show and he's kind of like

been ferried back and forth from his hotel to the to wherever he was like the kind of like um the big the big hall he says uh in tokyo and um it was quite interesting to sort of get his take on like the 7-elevens because that was the only sort of bit of the the pie he was allowed to enjoy he just texted us like earlier on today so i said i really wish i'd been able to experience a bit more of it because uh he just didn't have the time or energy to be honest after covering about a million different olympic events uh in in japan and so um yeah i really wanted him to you know like in the 7-11 um we talk a lot on on the show uh or we have recently for some

bloody reason um about you know in like shitty shops in the uk um you know your your kind of pound shops you will occasionally get like a little cardboard cut out of a policeman uh stuck to the window at the front door uh basically saying we prosecute shoplifters we've got our eye on you etc etc cetera, et cetera. And apparently it does have a weird psychological effect on shrinkage or shoplifting. It doesn't happen quite as often in stores that have those cardboard cutouts of policemen,

which is hilarious. But the big crime detection facility, the crime detection sort of technique in the convenience konbini the convenience stores in japan are those little orange balls chris you love those little orange balls little glass uh spheres filled with luminous orange paint and they are always behind the um behind the the the teller uh behind the behind the till in these Japanese convenience stores. If someone steals something, you're supposed to

pick up these orange inky balls and you're meant to throw it at the feet of the aggressor, the feet of the shoplifter. They get covered in this indelible orange ink, which you just cannot wash it off for love, no money. Just take your shoes off.

Take your shoes off and drop them in the bin. And then you're able to get fingered a little bit that you've been stealing from a shop. I just want to live my life to a ripe old age and then go to Japan and then just grab one of those balls and bite into it. Just bite into the glass and the plastic and the ink. It was like a forbidden apple.

I thought you were going to come to Japan in your old age and commit robbery and then see if you could play like an exciting game of dodgeball and dodge the ball. How many people, realistically, you've got to make a quick snap judgment if you think someone's stolen something, right, and they're edging their way towards the door. You've got to be like, shit, I've got to throw the ball now it's now or never because once they're

out the door yeah you know you're not going to chase down the street and i mean what you're going to lose a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of booze or something and then you're going to spend the rest of the day cleaning up ink in your shot in your store it's it's not a win-win is it really i don't i feel like it's a pretty flawed device, but I suspect it's more the fear of being struck by the orange bull than the actual ramifications of being struck by the orange bull. I don't know what it's called, though. I need to look it up. Yeah.

Orangey Boru. Naughty. Orangey Boru. Naughty Orangey Boru. Naughty Orangey Boru. Well, orange bull in Japanese would be Orangey Boru, but there's no way it's that. Oh, is it Orangey?

Is it? Wow. is that the Dutch influence oranji yeah and bull boru oranji boru

well that was that was easy Japanese language knowledge in the leek and peep shade that's why I bring it to the party

or a conference bull so big news Chris I don't like to sugarcoat it Lake Tahoe in America the officials have to sugarcoat it. Lake Tahoe in America, the officials have closed part of it,

Big Lake, one of the biggest in the US, because some chipmunks have tested positive for the plague, the actual fucking plague. The plague. They're closing it, they're closing off half the parking areas, half the visitor centre, because, yeah, there's a load of chipmunks with bloody the plague.

It's awful. Awful. Can't be much worse than COVID, can it, though? I mean, the COVID's basically the fucking plague anyway. Well, I think nowadays it can be treated by antibiotics. I just think it's a very, really unwelcome development that parts of the US still get the fucking plague through chipmunks and rodent rodentia it's not right i don't like it it's an infectious bacterial disease that tends to be spread by chipmunks crikey what could you kind of like you know you're walking about and

you know japan's very health conscious they've had masks for a lot longer than we've been using them um could you would you want to get away with having the plague? How would you disguise the fact that you clearly have the plague? You've got balaclava? A hat? I don't fucking... I don't know. I'd probably lock myself in a shed in the mountains of North Japan

and just sit there for a week, or however long it takes for the plague to disappear. And, I mean, that's the least of your worries in the Japanese countryside. We've got wild boars that are incredibly violent. We've got monkeys. We've got bears. Like, I mean, plague is the least of my worries.

If I had to choose between chipmunks, you've got centipedes. I mean, if I had to choose between chipmunk with the plague or a bear, I'm choosing bear. I'm choosing because I can outrun that. There was a cool video of a bear. I don't know where it was.

I believe it was the US. This big fucking chonky bear walking down the street, walking down this kind of country path. And this guy was with a couple a couple of, you know, a couple of younger people in him. And he was just going, hello, bear. How are you doing, bear? You okay, bear?

Goodbye, bear. As the bear walked past. Because, you know, in the rural Japanese countryside, am I right in saying that bears don't like to be surprised? So the tour guides and people who sort of work out in the sticks in japan they carry little bells and they just ring it so the bear hears something coming from miles away and so it's not surprised that you turning into their road and just sort of being like you know they just don't like to be startled they're not going to eat you but they just don't

like to be startled yeah i mean the there's two kinds of bears in japan black bear brown bear black bears are kind of small they don't eat humans they'll just mess you up if you surprise them just pop out around the corner but brown bears they will eat you they'll eat your face and there was one recently that took on like an entire military base in hokkaido straight out like a 1980s style horror film it like Tick on a military base. He was shot. I don't think he survived, but brown bears. Don't go to Hokkaido. Be vigilant.

It probably is a character from bloody Tekken, isn't it? There was a big bear in that game, wasn't there? There is, yeah. And it reminds me of Melon Bear, the iconic mascot character of Hokkaido. He's disgusting. I hate him so much. There's like $200 melons of Hokkaido. He's disgusting. I hate him so much. There's like $200 melons, right, in Hokkaido.

And the town of Ibari that makes them decided they wanted to make a mascot. And what they did is they just got a bear, but it's got a melon for a head with the mouth of a bear. And it's fucking terrifying. And every now and then they get someone to dress up as Melon Bear and terrorize the entire school and there's some great videos online of children sitting in a room being terrorized by melon bear it's quality entertainment but the worst thing is like melon bears like

like his head is isn't his head like a melon but it's kind of peeled so to to reveal the red flesh underneath in some pictures depictions of melon bear. It's fucking horrible, Chris. It's horrible. The origin story is so unimaginative. Apparently a bear, a rogue bear, walked into a melon farm, ate some melons because they were so delicious, and then he turned into melon bear.

It's not exactly Godzilla origin story level, is it? But it's the thought that counts. Orangey ball. Melon bear. I'll be the next mascot. I'm going to walk into 7-Eleven and just crunch down on those beautiful, glassy orbs. Right, we're going to take a short advertorial.

So, Jean, at the short break, we'll be back with, well, all kinds of stuff, to be quite frank. Your news, your emails, your dispatches. We'll see you soon. And we're back with a little bit of luke and peach show we're talking melons we are talking what's his first email about sandwiches uh chris do you mind if i kick things off with simon's email he's from adelaide in australia sure hi guys many moons ago my sister was moved out of our childhood home when we moved her wardrobe we

were greeted with a black sandwich firmly stuck halfway up the wall i'm not sure an untouched sandwich wrapped in cling cling wrap would last but i'd like to assume it may have been there for years lucky my parents were already planning on painting the room kind regards simon from adelaide black sandwich simon you you i mean i guess you haven't moved in a little while, but when you move house, have you ever sort of found something that you just didn't remember was there, like a dirty old toenail, a dirty toenail collection underneath your bed or something really unpalatable that you didn't know you had?

I was cleaning out my car once and I found a McDonald's French fry from like two years ago that was perfectly, looked like it had been cooked last Tuesday. It looked, it's creepy. It kind of put me off McDonald's for a few weeks before I decided I'd still like McDonald's. I didn't eat it though. I didn't go that far.

But like, it's kind of creepy, isn't it? How McDonald's fries are so riddled with chemicals that they can last eternity. I've got to be the last thing on earth. I mean, I guess even if you cooked it from home, I mean, what is it really? I mean, I guess the oil would insulate it from, so it's cooked. So it's covered in kind of like a tough, out of carbonated shell and it's oily. So that would presumably kind of restrict it from, from,

from getting any kind of, you know, enzymes and, and, and stuff from the outside. So I'd say anything greasy is probably pretty, it's probably pretty good for, you know,

to look good for, for years to come, but it is fascinating that they're like the Mac, the Maccy Ds, the Big Macs, last for absolutely ages in the wild. It's a Tom Scott video waiting to happen, isn't it? Investigation into McDonald's food. I love Tom Scott.

He's great. He's a good lad, isn't he? Some of his work where he just looks down the lens of a camera and just does a fucking monologue. He is one of the best at that. He is absolutely great. King monologue. He will bash out something like five pages of text

with technical details, dates, numbers, stats, and he'll do it beautifully while he's just strolling around. He's such an intelligent presenter. I'm sure he doesn't care whether he's on television or not, but he's the sort of talent that should really be utilised on British television, certainly, I think. He's above British television, Pete. He's Tom Scott.

He's the king of YouTube and he's got a nice northern voice. I don't know whereabouts he's from, but he's got a lovely accent. He certainly has. No, good. uh well there's another chris in our in our parish uh and it's chris who has uh has got in touch on the email hello look peach short.com evening chaps your recent chat about cardboard police officers and we were chatting earlier on the show uh reminded me of a local news frenzy from about 10 years ago to act as a deterrent for wannabe shoplifters, the Sainsbury's local in our village recruited the services of PC Bob. Presumably Bob was a graduate of South Yorkshire Police's Cardboard Division. It was a cardboard cut out of a policeman.

Anyway, within a week of taking up the role, Bob himself was kidnapped. The local press were amused by the distinct irony of the situation. However, a Sainsbury's spokesman said, it is bizarre that someone would want to steal our cardboard copper PC Bob. We got used to having him around and hope he is returned in one piece. Shortly thereafter, images of PC Bob began popping up on

Facebook. His kidnappers snapped him with cans of lager and cigarettes and later at a full-blown house party. Ah! Bob students. It's just students. Bob never returned to Sainsbury's. I can only assume that he enjoyed his new surroundings too much or he ran away with a cardboard basket lady from Boots.

In 2010, Manchester police said that cardboard police officers had contributed to a 70% decline in shoplifting. Personally, I think their research must have been paper thin. Chris, that is the most succinctly, beautifully written email we've had in about three years. I think it's fair to say it started well. It was short. It was precise. It was concise. And it ended with a gag.

Look, it's got everything, that email. It's beautiful. It's a very British story where a crime has been committed, but it's like a fun crime. In Japan, there's either no crime or horrendously bad, terrifyingly awful crime. Yeah, it's always stabbing. Nothing in between.

This is just like, this is the sort of thing I would have done, to be fair, and it's lovely. I think it's wonderful. PC Bob's out there having the time of his life right now, I imagine. Or he's in a bin somewhere around the back of a B&Q in Chiswick. I don't know. What do you think, though? Where is he?

What do I think? I mean, he'll just... He will have got soggy. He will have fallen in the bath. And so he'll be in a situation where we're like, we can't return this. It's in an absolute bloody state. We're not having it. Definitely someone came out of a pub slash nightclub and we're like, oh, let's take that.

That's right. I miss doing that. I miss doing that. At university and stuff, did you sort of collect like shite, like bollards and stuff like that? I remember there was a fine collection in our university sort of halls room, like every fucking university halls room but

uh because they uh because the the the head of the warden or whatever looks after the building found all of these collected uh collected road signs and stuff in the in the yeah a little bit in the student uh in the student common room they uh they lock the student common room because if you can't be trusted to uh if you can't be trusted to, if you can't be trusted not to collect a load of shit, we're going to close down the student common room. Even though nobody really liked the student common room, we just ate in our rooms anyway.

The only problem was it had a vending machine in there. I really wanted a lilt at one point and I broke in. Oh, I got in so much trouble. The head of security at Dunmuffet University was going to throw me out. And I, after only recently having learned the uh learned the word dick tat uh in air level history um he was saying that you have to admit that you broke you know broke into the whole uh common room and i said this is a dick tat i'm not i'm not signing anything that says it was me

fuck you copper you'll never get me And he was an ex-copper. And yeah, so that's why I'm a bad boy for life, Chris. That's why I'm a real original gangster. You'll listen to the criminal exploits of Pete Donaldson. Exactly. In a parallel universe, there is like a slightly more villainous Pete Donaldson who went down and descended into a world of crime. And that was the genesis of that moment.

Stealing things from a common room. We've got a message, Chris, from... There's a lot of Chris's on the show this afternoon, or the evening, or whenever you're listening to the show. I mean, I guess it's evening for you. It's early afternoon for me. Chris says, what's popping, Luke and El Pete? The battery tink or email search,

give me an idea for a new feature that will rely on little to no effort from you guys brilliant uh each week you choose a word to search the luke and pete email account and read out some snippets of the results rehash quality content and we'll bring up some good nostalgic content plus surely some hilarious new emails that didn't make the cut before if you want the uh if you want a first word to get started i would suggest arse so he wants me to go into the email box and search for the word arse but what i'm going to do is chris because we don't speak to you every week can you choose a random word we've been doing this show for about three years now i think um so there'll be plenty of

emails to choose from just pick any random word i will type it in the hello at lukebeatshaw.com email box and let's see what emails we get, shall we? Easy. All right, the word is dick tat. It's not going to be in there, is it? No, we don't have any dick tat. Oh, God. You said any word.

You said you've been doing this show 500 years. Any word that's not dick tat. Oh, I suck the fun out of everybody. It doesn't drum up the breakdown of the Weimar Republic. The plague. The plague. The plague. That's going to be in there, isn't it? Plague, plague. So many messages about plague.

So many messages about plague. What about Dictat? Are you sure there's no Dictat? Dictat's not in there. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's have a look. How do I get to the previous one?

There we go. Okay. The plague, plague, plague, plague, plague. When was the last time you spoke about the plague to generate emails or correspondence surrounding the plague? Well, we used to do this feature called Mencarta where it was just sort of stories about daring do an adventure on the high seas and

beyond uh mark trent got in touch back in 2017 um i'm sure you get plenty of these men carter suggestions but uh if they're not deemed interesting enough for inclusion you're ever expanding knowledge base fair enough and i believe we've never read any of this out so there we go um regina versus dudley and stevens 1884 on the 19th of may 1884 we're going to end the show with this tale an english yacht called the minionette set still set sail from southampton to sydney there were four people on board the captain tom dudley edwin stevens edmund brooks richard parker the cabin boy as well the yacht reached the cape of good hope around the 5th of july and hit rough seas and then the yacht sank within five minutes. All four crew members escaped

via a lifeboat with two tins of turnips and no fresh water. The lifeboat was around 700 miles away from the nearest land. I mean, that is unnecessary. By the 13th of July, the crew had begun to drink their own piss. The turnips lasted until the 15th or 17th of July. In the meantime, the men

had managed to catch and eat a sea turtle. It was around the 17th that discussions first took place about, the men had managed to catch and eat a sea turtle. It was around the 17th that discussions first took place about who would be sacrificed to sustain the others. Around the 20th of July,

Parker became ill through drinking seawater. Never drink the seawater! Never drink it, that's all. They always say never drink the seawater. Within several days,

he'd fallen into a coma-like condition. By the 25th of July, Dudley, aided by, oh God, aided by Stevens, took his penknife and put it into Parker's jugular, killing him.

Brooks appeared to have been a reluctant bystander. All three men fed upon Parker. Dudley is quoted as saying, I can assure you, I shall never forget the sight of my two unfortunate companions over that ghastly meal. We all was like mad wolves who should get the most

and for men fathers of children to commit such a deed we could not have had our right reason well you wouldn't anyway the crew were rescued by a german vessel on the 29th of july they went back to england they were all very honest about what had happened and they believed they'd they had common maritime law on their side. But they didn't, and they were both charged with murder, Dudley and Stephens. Despite the court of public opinion siding with the men, Daniel Parker, Richard Parker's eldest brother, forgave Dudley in open court and even shook hands with them,

and they were found guilty. They were given the death penalty. And, yeah, the sentence was later reduced to six months' imprisonment. So that's a pretty good step down from that. But what became of the men afterwards is a bit sketchy, but Brooks returned to sea. Why the hell he did that, I do not know. Stephen settled in Southampton, turned to alcohol,

and dudley emigrated to Australia and seemingly became the first victim of the bubonic plague that hit Sydney in 1900. Incredible. Oh, my God. Yeah. That poor man. I don't know if that's

good luck, bad luck. Depending on different stages of the story, it's good luck, right? You've survived it, good luck. Bad luck, you're tried for murder, death penalty.

Good luck, you get out of it. Bad luck, you go to Australia. Good luck, you get to Australia. Bad luck, you get to plague and die. Yeah, it's not ideal, is it? None of it. But a hell of a story. Jesus.

Those who have read or seen The Life of Pi will know that the tiger in the story is called Richard Parker. Thank you very much, Mark Trent, for that story that never got read out back in the day. I'm 99% certain it never got read out back in the day. But look, if you are lost at sea, just give it a couple more days, all right? Just don't drink your seawater

maybe just you know make do with a diet of fingernails the Pete Donaldson diet I'm really glad that I I selected the words the plague for you to search so we could hear that story because that is a really good story like if I'd said a word like sandwich the story would have been really but I don't type it. I can see you typing. I had a sandwich yesterday and it was good. That's the level we would have had.

We literally started the email section this week with a story about a young lady who'd left a sandwich behind a cupboard. So that would be the kind of calibre.

Yeah, exactly. We got a riveting, action-packed tale of treachery, high seas and the plague. And that was far better than any sandwich-related story we could ever possibly have. If you're stuck at sea for a month, would you eat a sandwich that had been left behind at a cupboard is the question. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Right, let's get out of here. Chris, thank you very much for joining us. Where can people find your YouTube channel to watch? You've recently put out, or you are recently, you are very soon going to be putting out a video about Tokyo's most famous modular and only modular apartment building that was designed in the 1970s to be kind of able to sort of swap out apartments

willy-nilly, the Nagakin Capsule Tower. An incredible construction. Give it a Google and watch Chris's YouTube video, which should be coming out tonight or tomorrow, something like that. Yeah, it'll be out tomorrow. But if you do Google it,

make sure you watch my video and not someone else's. But yeah, Brawn Japan, check it out. But thanks for having me on the show, Pete. It's always a treasure. A treasure?

A treasure and a pleasure. It's always a pleasure. I'm thinking treasure because we just heard a story about a boat in Australia. And when I think Australia, I think treasure. Yes. And spiders.

Criminals. But thank you for having me on. It's been good fun, as always. No worries. All right, then. Well, I'm sure you'll be on before very long. And do listen to the Abrandgeman podcast, one of our fine Stack Stablemates. Check that out at stack.london. That's S-T-A-K dot London. We'll be back for more Luke and Pete show this Thursday, only on this channel, the Luke and Pete show. If you want to get to the show, as always,

hello at lukepeteshow.com. We actually got through more emails than we usually do. We usually don't have time because we're not around. Productivity. So, yeah, we'll be back on Thursday. Have a cracking week. Thank you, Chris. Bye-bye.

Bye. we'll be back on Thursday have a cracking week thank you Chris bye bye
