Welcome to the Luca Peach Show.
It's the middle of the 7th of June.
I'm Pete Donaldson.
John, I'm Mr. Lukey.
I've got a new Monster Energy drink I've not found.
I've not found.
I've tried before.
Lukey.
What flavour?
It's Ultra Peachy Keen.
It name checks the summer of love on the side
and encourages me to unleash the ultra beast.
It's, I mean, i don't see what's different between this and like a diet coke uh apart from the caffeine because the caffeine is
150 milligrams right it's got other stuff like taurine or that kind of thing though yeah i mean
what is that going to do me any damage that i mean if i mean if it was taurine that if taurine was
really important or damaging,
they would put it in coffee, wouldn't they?
They'd put it in proper drinks.
But they just add that stuff in to make it sound like it's more powerful
than it actually is.
I just think that people have got this whole monster energy drink
and energy drinks in general overblown
because it's basically a problem for children who drink it.
I'm a big boy and I drink coffee, so what's the difference?
I do find it interesting. for children who drink it. I'm a big boy and I drink coffee so what's the difference? I think,
I do find it interesting,
I've never once sampled
a Monster product, right?
Yeah.
It's John from VGC.
He got me on him.
Oh, really?
He's got me hooked
and I can't get off.
But what I find interesting about it
is that they are
absolutely like,
you know,
pun intended,
relentless
at the amount of different products they put out.
Apparently there's 40 different drinks.
Yeah.
And for a person who likes silly novelty, it's absolutely ideal.
I'll go into a shop and there'll be a new one I've never tried before.
There'll be one that inexplicably is sponsored by Lewis Hamilton.
I've no idea why.
One called Aussie Lemonade.
What makes it Australian?
It's just lemonade.
It's confusing.
I like,
I've seen one here
called Monster Assault.
It's apparently
cola flavoured
but it's got
a camouflage can.
I mean,
this is drinks
for idiots,
isn't it?
Yeah,
no,
it's drinks
for SEAL Team 6,
mate.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
You want to be
top of your game
when you fall out
of a helicopter
in a compound.
Yeah,
big time.
You want to drink
some of this.
Yeah, that'll sort you out.
Have a bit of this.
That'll definitely...
I don't know what the caffeine level is
compared to like a can of Coke,
but presumably it's horrific.
Because I've also just read that in Australia,
the limit is 500 mils a day.
500 millilitres of Monster Energy?
So 500 milligrams.
A day, I suppose.
Okay, right, yeah.
I mean, you shouldn't really
be having more than one,
but it just, I mean,
I just don't understand what,
like 150 milligrams
is the same as a large latte
in Starbucks.
And people hoover those things
up during the day.
Yeah.
Am I babbling?
I think I might be babbling.
I'm all hot.
I can't remember,
this is going to be a shit story
because I can't actually remember
the specifics,
but I read a while back
the amount,
the total amount of cups of coffee drunk per day in london and it was an astonishing amount
yeah it was three cups of sage for every human man woman and child in london right i mean yeah
i think i when i used to sleep a lot more i would have two one maybe two cup maximum sometimes get away with just one
now i'm about five cups it's not good what's the latest in the day you'd have one uh to be honest
i start to get very i'm up at about five these days and i'm starting to get quite sleepy about
nine but i've still got things to do so i will invariably have a i'll maybe have a
non-decaf tea at about six seven what a non-decaf tea so just a tea or just a tea like six seven
and uh i'll i'll flirt with a coffee about half six i reckon yeah just to get me through just to
get me through it's just yeah i'm always able to sleep, though. Though I do have very vivid dreams these days.
I have probably three cups of tea in the morning,
possibly, maybe two.
One after lunch and then one before bed.
A little shot of tea before bed.
Oh, a little non-decaf tea before bed?
Yeah, but it's only a small one.
Does that not send you absolutely loopy?
Do you not dream about, like, getting, I don't know,
getting fisted? Where'd that come like getting I don't know getting fisted
where'd that come from
I haven't
I haven't dreamed
about that so far
this is extreme
someone's unleashed
the ultra beast on me
one always has
one's fingers crossed
you know
I don't find it
I don't find it
it stops me sleeping
I'm actually traditionally
I've said this to you before
I know it's smug
but I'm actually traditionally
touch wood always been
a very good sleeper
so it's not affected me that much I've got a to you before, I know it's smug, but I'm actually traditionally touched with always being a very good sleeper.
So it's not affected me that much.
I've got a few different techniques about how to sleep well, which work for me.
I don't think they probably work for anyone else though.
One of them involves the incredible amount of masturbation, actually.
What is an incredible amount? That's the question.
Because I'll go toe-to-toe with that figure.
Don't you worry about that, sunshine.
Can I bring to the table, before this takes a real turn,
can I bring to the table a story that was sent to us by many a listener?
I've pulled out Davith here, who's one of the people that sent it.
I guess he's the one I saw do it first, so he gets to credit.
But loads of people have sent it in.
And the headline is, and do you know what?
It is the most Pete Donaldson energy story of the year if this isn't you in 25 years time i don't know what is but um the story is as follows granddad spends 14 years camped in garden
um a grandfather of three says he spent almost 14 years sleeping in a hammock in his garden.
David Priestley, 68, so that literally would be 25 years' time,
discovered outdoor sleeping helped soothe chronic back pain and keep his sinuses clear.
This is a great quote.
The former RAF armourer from Lincoln said,
conventional indoor sleeping is overrated, adding,
we're all animals and we've become indoctrinated to sleeping indoors.
Oh, God.
He's eaten mice, hasn't he?
He's just gone mad.
But even if you look at the photos accompanying it,
so first of all, massive kudos to Kevin Shoesmith of BBC News who got this story.
And whoever went down and got the photos, well done.
I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking nice big lawn, beautiful hammock in between a couple of trees,
very bucolic, peaceful scene.
Nah.
He's in a built-up estate.
He is in a built-up estate, yeah.
He's got a patio.
I mean, he's spending all of his time outside in the patio,
but he needs to get control of those weeds.
You're becoming dockerinated thinking that's okay to rewild your patio like that.
Outrageous.
Someone who lives in the house opposite,
which presumably on the first floor is their bedroom window,
they wake up in the middle of the night
or they wake up in the morning, look out their window,
they are seeing a 68-year-old man sleeping in a hammock
every single morning.
They presume he's up early because it'll be cold in the winter.
Well, he seems to be quite...
His reasoning, he sort of said that he believes that bedrooms are full of dust
and before I was waking up with my nostrils full of gunk.
And he also, he hurt his back and he says that all of his symptoms
have been relieved by sleeping outside.
So if it works for him, I kind of get it.
Don't mind it. I can see you doing it. Yeah. him, I kind of get it.
Don't mind it.
I can see you doing it.
Yeah.
I can definitely see you doing it.
Here's what I can see happening.
You just tell me if I'm wrong here,
if I'm going off piste.
You have an argument with the partner you have access to
about some kind of dreadful habit you've got.
And you say,
well, if that's how you feel, I'll just sleep in the garden then. And she says, that've got. Yeah. And you say, well, that's how you feel.
I'll just sleep in the garden then.
And she says, that's fine by me.
And your pride and stubbornness
means that you are actually out there.
And I'm not saying you'd be out there for 14 years,
but I could see you out there for a week or two
to prove a point.
I think that I would enjoy the solitude.
I'm rapidly understanding certain aspects of my father's
routine um and and i understand why he's why he's taking control of the situation and he's getting
up at one o'clock in the morning so yeah i i agree i think i could probably do yeah i could
probably do if i could probably do a few days in in the wilderness so to speak in the wilderness
of an estate in lincoln in the wilderness i i I totally get the idea of a well-appointed campsite,
which isn't too busy,
and the weather being beautiful and very peaceful.
I'm thinking like detectorist's energy.
You know, one of those fields,
it's beautifully shot and it looks and sounds amazing
and there's no interference from modern amenities
and all that kind of stuff.
I get that. But in reality
you
I mean it's just quite undignified to
wake up in the morning and just shuffle through the back door
to put the kettle on.
I just feel like it's
a little bit kind of depressing. A bit bleak.
Yeah. I mean I think
You'd also be absolutely stunned
to hear that he's currently going through a divorce
this man.
Yeah. I don't think that piece needed that bit of information.
Although if you can put that information, put it at the top.
Say, man who is currently going through a divorce is sleeping in garden.
And then in brackets, unrelated.
David has pointed out some of the highlights from this story that he read.
So when visiting friends, he will simply find a local woods to sleep in
or he attaches his hammock to a lamppost apparently.
Oh, so he's refusing at any point to...
Which I think is actually...
I mean, that is like proper register sign and stuff.
It's naughty stuff.
You can have a night off.
Yeah, have a night off inside
for crying out loud.
Even Snoopy would sometimes
stay indoors
with Charlie Brown.
Yeah,
exactly.
He's going for a divorce,
yeah,
and his ex-wife
did not enjoy sleeping
in the hammock.
He's turned their bedroom
into a workshop
as well,
apparently,
which is another bit
of dance and energy,
that.
Yeah.
I mean,
we need to hear from
his partner.
How is Billy? How is Billy Piper? That's what we need to hear from um his partner how is billy um how is billy piper
that's what we want to know i love it i'm always on you know what mate it is becoming epidemic how
often i'm on lawrence fox's twitter good stuff they've all had a good week it's a proper um
it's just it's just so compelling.
Like, some of the stuff he comes... Oh, my God.
I wish you'd never brought it up.
Sorry.
We can move on to...
Someone's got in trouble.
People have been...
Nigel Farage has been on an open top bus tour today
and people have been throwing objects at him.
Yeah, it's a great British sport,
throwing stuff at Nigel Farage.
It is a great British sport.
I do...
I do sort of think, though, like, fine, you've done that thing,
but, like, you are going to get into trouble for throwing things at people.
Like, I do sort of go, like, people who sort of,
the sort of people who get in trouble for this sort of thing,
I don't think they realise that you can actually get a criminal record for doing it.
So, I agree what you're saying
and I understand what you mean
but for,
in your view,
you're the judge
or whatever
and it's Farage,
you know,
probably,
you know,
he's a crypto-fascist,
right?
Yeah.
So,
you know,
he's not going to spare
any fucking sympathy
for that dickhead.
So,
if you're the judge
and you can use
your discretion
and some particularly
enterprising young chap or or whatever is is um is throwing something at farage at what point do
you intervene and go you can't really throw that so for me yeah you can't really do that yeah
milkshake fine yeah that's i mean no no criminal record um and i believe i think people got a
criminal record but they had to dry clean the suit.
I think that was the criminal damage aspect to it.
I think they had to spend, I think it was like 350 quid or something.
Where does he get his bloody suit dry cleaned?
Yeah, but from Big Nigel's point of view,
he's going to go hard on that, isn't he?
He's going to go for a good one.
I think it's all fair in love and war.
I wouldn't know how to spend more than 50 quid on dry cleaning a it's all fair in love and war. I wouldn't know how to spend
more than 50 quid
on dry cleaning.
I wouldn't know how to,
I wouldn't know where to go.
Mayfair, presumably.
You're going to Mayfair,
you're going for
the super deluxe option,
you're going for
the 12 hour turnaround.
You don't know where that is though.
You don't know where that is.
But what I'm saying is,
milkshake,
no one's going to care.
No.
Brick,
unacceptable.
What's the cut off?
What's the difference between...
What about...
Someone just throws a marmoset at Farage,
clings to his ear.
What would you say?
What would you say is unacceptable to throw at Nigel Farage?
One of those kind of foam balls you used to get at school
just
sucked in piss
I think that's the limit
heavy and wet
with the combined cold piss
of five men
like just that, that's it
particularly left wing men
particularly left wing
all gay
all that business gay LGBTQ all that
all that
all that business
gay communist
piss
kicked really hard
at Nigel Farage
so much
a bit goes in his
mouth
a bit goes in his
eye
and all over the
front of his
shirt
his white shirt
does he get pink
eye or does he
just not get any
for a long time
no
no because
unlike what
Nigel Farage
would think
none of the men
have any issues
with their
reproductive
not reproductive
sexual
urinary health
urinary health
Peter
I once got
I once got
doused with piss
at a music festival
lovely
right okay
let me guess
Reading
Leeds
it was V99
V99
because V was kind of like a spicy...
Was it Essex and somewhere else?
Yeah, it was in Chelmsford.
Chelmsford, right, okay.
It was quite poppy.
I obviously really like pop music.
I wish that that still existed.
I was watching the Happy Mondays at V99.
And it was a really hot day.
And I was standing quite in the front
because I would have been
18 at the time
and
people are throwing beers
and
soft drinks
and water
and whatever
that was just part of it
I guess people still do do that
I don't know
but
it was happening
obviously people throw beers
when the England score
and stuff
and someone in front of me
got dinged with a can of beer
which was like half full
which was obviously
fucking painful and that was bad and i remember them having to kind of
walk off slink off yeah have a sit down and then and i was getting to the point where i was quite
used to having stuff being thrown because obviously you're a bit sweaty it's a hot day
drinks are being thrown you just kind of you know you just kind of get used to it
and then i remember something coming over from the left of me smashing my mate
in like the shoulder
and it was like
a bottle of piss
with the lid off
and it went everywhere
and it was hot
and it was warm
hot warm piss
yeah
it wasn't great
it wasn't fucking great
but your whole
dehydrated
man piss as well
yeah
I'm presuming it was a man
I mean it's gonna be a man
it's gonna be a man
let's be absolutely fair
it's gonna be a man so look I know how N nice may feel in the next week or two when it happens to
him inevitably but i think not look i don't want to i don't want to say that i endorse political
violence because i don't broadly speaking i don't care if people are if people are gonna but i don't
care if people who espouse um fascist views get a good old slap around the chops i'm not going to but i don't care if people who espouse um fascist views get a good old slap
around the chops i'm not going to give them any sympathy i'll i'll happily live in a country where
that's the case because fucking fascism doesn't belong in our society and um i think if nige is
going to do what nice does big nige he needs to understand there's a fucking comeback to that
if you want to go if you want to go to fucking a particularly right wing part of Clacton and
talk a load of lies about foreign people
and get deplored it when people get
upset about that you need to take the fucking bad stuff
as well that's how it goes that's the deal you've done
I think a lot of people
walk around like
they like they couldn't be punched in the face
do you know what I mean big time the way people
the way people conduct themselves is
they live their lives
like they're never going to get punched in the face.
And some people need a punch in the face.
And some people also go through their adult life
because a bigger boy hasn't given them a slap when they were a teenager.
Correct.
They haven't had the writing mechanism that says,
actually, there's a lot of people out here who are bigger and tougher than you
and that's what the world's all about.
Now, I'm not suggesting anyone should get injured
or there should be some awful...
I'm not saying there should be a breeze block in his face
i'm just saying there's a there's a equal and opposite reaction to every action nigel and if
you're gonna what if you want to be the big man on campus don't be surprised if some boys in the
year above or in this case some you know some left-wing school school valedictorians yeah yeah
um so chuck a milkshake in your gob.
Exactly.
Enjoy it.
Free milkshake.
Like when George Bush got it.
George Bush got it.
Did George Bush get a milkshake?
No, he got a shoe, didn't he?
Oh, he got a shoe.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember Shoe Man.
And what did he say?
He's still on Twitter, isn't he?
Shoe Man.
I seem to recall, yeah.
How is he?
George Bush.
He still pops up here and there.
George W. Bush.
I'm not going to endorse him.
He's not running for president this year,
and I'm not American anyway, but as a general rule, I'm not endorsing endorse him. He's not running for president this year and I'm not American anyway
but as a general rule
I'm not endorsing him
but I will say this.
Nigel Farage complains
Good at ducking.
Good at ducking.
Yeah, Nigel Farage complains
and cries
and gets fucking someone prosecuted.
George Bush skillfully dodged it
and the first thing he said was
I can confirm the guy's a size 10.
You know,
it's great bad enough.
He's a dangerous vibe master.
Bit of back and forth.
Bit of back and forth is all we ask for.
Yeah, indeed.
All right, we're going to take a short break
and we're back with some emails, if that's all right with you.
We're back with some emails.
It's the Luke and Pete show.
We're doing emails for Crying Out Loud.
Let's get rid of some of these bloody emails for Crying Out Loud.
It's stressing me out.
I look at the little Luke and Pete show email box.
I don't know how to access it.
No, you don't. And't know how to access it no you
don't and and it says like 900 uh emails or let's get through something shall we all right so here's
one from chris he says hi lucard pete i enjoyed your candle chat uh on an earlier episode the
partner i have access to brackets p hat good oh right um we also enjoy and i we also enjoy a
scented candle particularly musky slash smoky ones. Now, that's interesting, Chris, because I don't really like a smoky flavour or fragrance.
Really?
I'm not really a smoker.
If something is smoked, I don't really like to eat it.
Mackerel, whiskey?
No.
I mean, I like mackerel, but the smokiness, the acridity of it,
it's not really something that vibes with me.
Interesting. Yeah, I like mackerel, but the smokiness, the acridity of it, it's not really something that vibes with me. But Chris says, look, I feel the need to draw your attention
to these candles, photo attached, mandarin and cedar from Lidl.
We are stockpiling them in the fear they might not be around forever.
They're cheap as chips and last well.
Plus our house smells of beautiful bonfires.
All the best, Chris from Wiltshire.
Beautiful bonfires.
Now, we said the other day, Pete,
that a lot of the cheaper candles on the market
can be overpowering, smell a bit cheap.
What we would recommend is maybe just buy
a third of the amount you normally would
and just spend three times the amount of money
because you're going to get a far better value out of it.
But Chris is saying, listen, guys, call your jets.
Get yourself down to Lidl
and enjoy the
luxury collection mandarin and cedarwood
range from them
I think that I
walked I was in Lidl
earlier today and I walked past
the centre aisle
I'm in the market for an impact
driver
a drill
it's a drill for ball I said what the hell who the hell is that nothing it's just a drill for bolts
I said what the hell
who the hell is that
what that
now what even
the hell is that
and we get
and to get
what do you need it for
just car stuff
anyway
and I don't know
the strength of it
I think I'm starting
to get like some
kind of arthritis
I can't
I couldn't open
a pickle jar last week
tragic
absolutely tragic
and yeah
so I'm in the
back of that and I walked past one that was like
60 quid in Lidl
and it was an alright price but
can someone let me know whether it's
okay stuff? I'm not a heavy
I'm not going to be a heavy user. I'm not a mechanic.
I just need to get rid of some bolts, alright?
Just need to
just get things off and
get things on nice and quick on the rare occasion I fly over. Like a Formula 1 pit stop. Like a Formula 1 pit stop. I just need to get things off and get things on nice and quick.
Like a Formula One pit stop.
Like a Formula One pit stop.
I just need to get stuff off quickly.
Now, I need to know whether this stuff is passable.
I know it's not going to be good.
I know all of the models and the makes are weird brands you've never heard of before,
and the batteries are all incompatible, even though they've got the same lithium cells in them. I just need to know, are they broadly
okay for the
money or shall I just buy
cheap Chinese ones from Amazon?
So if someone can let me know, that will be cracking.
I think you know the answer, don't you? Yeah, I know in my
heart but I still walk past it and I'm still
thinking about it. Still thinking about
driving over that arterial road and
getting myself that impact driver.
I just know exactly
where it is in the store.
I know exactly
where it's sitting.
We should have listeners
get involved on that,
I reckon.
Weed burner as well.
A paraffin
or whatever kind of
gas propellant.
Weed burner as well
to burn your weeds.
But I think that might be a little bit
anti-social if I'm burning my weeds
all over the gaff
you could go take it round to that guy who's
got a weedy garden and sleeps with his hammock
exactly I could help him out for crying out loud
nothing to say on the
candles from Chris but thanks for letting us know Chris
it's a top tip for people who want a cheap candle
to fragrance their home and I have to say the photo
you attach it doesn't look like you've got a lovely home.
It's a lovely home.
I imagine a lot of delicious smoked salmon in the fridge,
delicious smoked whiskey in the drinks cabinet.
So the general rule is that if you're talking about Scotch,
the further west of Scotland you go, the more peaty and smoky it is, right?
I think so.
Right, okay.
And the further east you go, the sweeter it can tend to be.
So like your Laphroaig's and your Talisker's and stuff,
they're all out west, I think.
I'm not really a whiskey expert,
but my friend Phil, who owns a hotel in Scotland,
he does a brilliant whiskey tasting thing
at his boutique hotel.
And his thing is, he says,
you might think whiskey is not for you,
but I bet if you just tell me the foods
and the drinks that you do like, I'll find you a whiskey that will suit because there's one out there for everyone. And he did is not for you, but I bet if you just tell me the foods and the drinks that you do like,
I'll find you a whiskey that will suit
because there's one out there for everyone.
And he did do that for me,
which is very, very impressive.
There is so much kind of changeability,
variability in whiskey.
It's a really,
if I was going to be a big spirits guy,
I think whiskey would be my one
because there's some lovely drops out there.
Laphroaig is obviously
a very bargain-based one
but I don't like
smoky whiskey.
Yeah, it's pretty
standard stuff in it.
It's pretty standard
stuff in it
but I think you can
but when I'm in a bar
and I fancy whiskey
I'll have a Laphroaig
because it's just
guaranteed lovely
smoky.
Yeah, so you can buy
I mean there are
limited edition Laphroaigs
here available for
£1,200 a bottle.
I'm just looking now. Lordy. But you're right in saying I mean, there are limited edition Laphroaig's here available for £1,200 a bottle. I'm just looking now.
Lordy.
But you're right in saying that, you know,
they've generally got 30 quid a go.
Somebody pointed out that Mad...
You know, MD2020, it doesn't stand for Mad Dog.
What does it stand for?
It stands...
It's a man's name.
MD2020.
Huh.
Oh, Mag and David.
Yes.
That's weird.
Yeah.
Everyone just called it...
Thought it was Mad Dog. I mean, of course it's not Mad Dog. Yes. That's weird. Yeah. Everyone just called it, thought it was Mad Dog.
I mean, of course it's not Mad Dog.
Nobody wants to sell that.
I hadn't thought about MD2020
until it came up a couple of weeks ago
for about 20 years.
Yeah.
Let's finish up with this email from Graham.
He says,
Hi, Luke and Pete.
I was listening to the episode of the show
titled,
I have absolutely definitely not shit myself.
I think producer Taylor might have named that.
She names all of them.
And Luke challenged anyone to
name an artist that releases good music in their later years other than David Bowie and Nick Cave
now yeah I did say that it was something I was genuinely interested in now this episode came
out exactly a month ago so probably someone's already sent this in already but in case they
haven't I submit Johnny Cash.
I believe his series of albums in the American series 1994 to 2010
to all be some of his best albums.
American Five was released in 2006,
and the songs were recorded in May and to August of 2003
before he passed away that September.
The whole album is excellent.
And he goes on to say that it's brilliant look I do agree with that actually I think it's a really good shout um I would say though that
for me and this is just a personal opinion for me um Johnny Cash the best Johnny Cash records
are um are the kind of live ones he did way back in the day so san quentin false
in prison that kind of stuff and what i'd also add is um the these later records i'm pretty sure
i'm right in saying he wrote hardly any of the songs on them i think a lot of them were written
by someone else that kind of covers which may or may not colour your opinion of them but I'm just saying
it's not
to me it's not entirely
the same thing
what I was actually saying
it's a hell of a good buy
it's a hell of a good buy
though isn't it
those couple of albums
oh it's good stuff
like you know
stuff like God's Gonna Cut You Down
which is a traditional song
which is amazing
and his delivery of it
is fucking unparalleled
I'm not suggesting
as a performer
or a singer
or a charisma bomb
he's not worthy of it
of course he is
but we're talking about with Cave is. But we're talking about, with Cave and Bowie,
we're talking about their writing genuinely interesting stuff
still in their later life, I suppose, which is the caveat.
But I'm not going to be churlish about it.
I'm not going to deny Graham's point,
because I think it's a good one.
My personal view is, though, that the earlier stuff
is still far better.
I think Folsom Prison and San Quentin
are two of the very best live albums ever in my view.
You kind of forget how many albums he put out.
I went to Nashville to his museum
and it was very amusing
because half of it was dedicated to his wife
and 10% of it was dedicated
in this particular way to Roy Orbison.
I think they'd run out of space,
run out of trinkets
and this and that.
But there's a lot of
hawky shit in the 80s.
That's it.
Of course.
The best artists
put out some absolutely
fucking hawky
Christmas albums
and all that shit.
There were so many
artists where
the 80s was so unkind to them.
Like Smokey Robinson,
fucking hell. Some of the Smokey Robinson stuff in the 80s, you think, to them. Like, you know, Smokey Robinson, fucking hell.
Some of the Smokey Robinson stuff
in the 80s,
you think,
how can this be the same guy
that's written like
the stuff he wrote in the 60s
and to some extent the 70s?
And I think there's a lot
of really awful
Paul McCartney stuff
in the 80s as well.
But let me just make this point again
just to reiterate it.
So if you take American 4,
The Man Comes Around,
the record,
you know,
obviously previous to American Five
that Graham's talking about.
What are the songs
that put him back on the map
and give him this late career resurgence?
Well,
Her is one of them
and that's Trent Reznor.
And the other one is his version
of Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus.
These are covers, right?
Wichita Lineman as well.
That's not one of his.
So I'm just saying
they're amazingly delivered.
They're brilliant performances.
But it's not really the same thing in my view but it is a valid contribution to the discussion and I
thank Graham for contributing it yeah well you can contribute let us know what
faded rock star you want to put in the dock you look to you look to look to
point at and say this isn't good enough
this simply isn't good enough
at hellotlookandpeachshow.com
is the way to do that
send your battery brands
things you found on the internet
pictures of your mum
I don't know
whatever you want
I'm not
that sounds bad
just pictures of your
pictures of your family
alright
just clothed
pictures of your family
what are you doing
hellotlookandpeachshow
I don't know
I always fall to bits
I do it alright
and then I panic
and then yeah
I'm definitely on the come down.
I'm sort of 40 minutes
into my Monster Energy
Ultra Peachy Keen trip
and I'm heading out of it.
And, you know,
I'm starting to sort of
come back to consciousness.
It's not right.
Anyway, we'll be back on Thursday
for Battery Brands.
Take care of yourselves.
See you later.
We'll see you soon.
Bye. Bye.
