Thank you. Pepsi Max cherry syrup is subpar, suboptimal. Right. So you get the cherry Pepsi Max and you throw it into a glass like you're the queen of bloody Shiva. Look what glass it is, though. It looks like it's a kazoo. Is it a Tyson Fury one? I can't see who these people are. What are they holding? I don't know what. They're not holding anything. I can't see who these people are. What are they holding? I don't know what. They're not holding anything.

I can't see a thing. They're all holding snooker cues. Oh, lovely. Is that a cup that you liberated from the Crucible? Not the Crucible, whatever it is. It is, from the Crucible Theatre. Right, yeah. Well done.

I use that as my leisure cup when I'm working from home. I do find that that kind of plastic that you buy at your WrestleManias and your FA Cup finals, it does start to sort of stink after a while. I like it. It's that porous plastic. Yeah, I run it through the dishwasher, but it means I can drink a drink, and if I close my eyes, I can imagine I'm in a theme park. Lovely.

Are you a man who enjoys at the cinema a tango ice blast. I've never once had a tango. What is a tango ice blast? What? It's a slush puppy. It's a tango themed... I'm not a slush puppy guy. I'm a soft drink traditionalist. Right, okay. Well, it's somewhere in between a sorbet and a drink, isn't it? So,

get involved in tango ice blast. What is this? A sorbet? Oh, yeah. I always go to the cinema and have a sorbet. Get yourself a sorbet. Who's done this to you, Don? Get yourself a tango ice blast, but cry it out loud. Who has done this to you?

My order at the cinema would normally be probably a packet of Revels, just like that. Nice, okay. They're not even opened. I know my wife literally bought them for me about an hour ago, so I haven't opened them. Absolutely. The reserve of the man.

And a soft drink man and a soft drink I'm not really a popcorn guy I mean I will eat popcorn I think it's one of those it's one of those meals it's one of those confectionaries it's one of those examples of ket that once you stop you don't stop

once you start you don't stop but no one chooses that off the bat. Can you explain to our listeners around the world what ket means? It's just candy, sweet candy, a confection. It's a North East England word for candy, right? Yeah. Ket.

But it's also a slang word for a recreational drug. Yes, correct. So some people might get confused. If you said, I'll come over to mine and watch Ghostbusters, get the ket in, it could become a very different experience. Could go either way, I suppose, yeah. Yeah, either way would be probably really fun. People do, like, rave about that particular party drug.

And I think we got absolutely tango ice blasted by the Daily Mail's horse tranquiliser campaign, one would say. Yeah, because it's not even used for horses as far as I know. Okay, right, yeah. It's mostly for used for horses as far as i know okay right it's mostly for um for small domesticated pets like cats and dogs okay and i've seen my one of my cats on cat yeah and it was remarkable it was extraordinary at one point it did an impression of roy hattersley and i don't know where that came from the last thing the vet said to me was don't let the cat out for tonight, just keep him in.

And I was like, okay, that's going to be a nightmare because he hates being kept in. Then I realised when he got home, he couldn't even find the door anyway. So he was just staggering all over the place, like walking into things, trying to lick the carpet because he thought it was water, all sorts going on.

So it was actually much easier than I thought. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay. Peter, I want to speak to our dear listenership and let them know that a great development occurred over the weekend just gone. And that is that you attended a social function and event that I invited you to. Yeah, I know.

That was- One of the first things that's ever happened. That was a real surprise for all of us, I know. That was... One of the first things that's ever happened. That was a real surprise for all of us, I think. I think I'm... I'm trying new things. You came such a long way. This is my midlife crisis,

attending social events with Luke. That's offensive. You started it. But you drove all the way here. I did drive all the way here. Went to a lovely little pub for your son's first birthday. Yeah, and you drove here in the Toyota Century.

Brought loads of cat. Which made my dad's year. Yeah, your dad was on excellent form. And yeah, you made, well, you made me go outside and show your dad my car. Yeah, he was loving it. He couldn't believe it. I said to him as we were walking around the corner, I said, you've got to you're gonna look at pete's car dad and he was like well how would i know which one it is i said you'll know turn the corner you'll know you less compliant toyota century i'll have you know what a plot twist how is that okay i have no idea apparently that's for cigarette smoke no

apparently some of them pass the test some of them don't um and nobody knows why but mine for some reason, passed. So that's made the journey into work a bit easier. So what would the charge be had it not passed? The delicious charge? I don't know. Isn't it 12 quid a day or something like that? It's quite high.

And congestion charge on top of that. The daily charge, yeah. I'm not sure. It's pretty chunky. I can see why people get upset but i can see also um i could do without men of a certain age getting upset in the way that they get upset how do you mean well they just they just debase themselves don't they that's all they talk about it's all they talk about yeah and then you've got the 15 quid a day congestion charge yeah you're basically looking at 27 pound 50 a day just to drive into London. Yeah, but I mean, my train ticket is like £34 a day, which is obscene.

That is obscene. That is absolutely outrageous in my view. Somebody got a readout from the train line or wherever the train operator was doing it, booking service was doing it, and they asked for two normal normal standard class uh fares to manchester and back from london and uh it came to over a grand same day my god what are you doing we had a couple of friends visiting from um from the us last week and uh they were raving about the trains so it's great they're really great well i guess they i guessaving about the trains. So it's great. They're really great. They're amazing. Well, I guess that's the one thing

the Americans don't necessarily do all that often, unless you live in New York. I was going to say, no, they're not. They're fucking really expensive compared to the rest of Europe. But they came here before they went to the rest of Europe.

I think if they had gone to the rest of Europe first then come here, then they'd have gone, oh, the trains aren't bad, but they're really expensive. I'll say one thing for our trains. Our trains aren't absolutely liberally covered in really cool graffiti

so there is that good or bad well i don't know if you go if you see any train in um i don't know düsseldorf watching 1980s new york movies again amsterdam they seem to have like a lot of european trains always have a lot of um really cool graffiti graffiti on them yeah and they're using the word graffiti as the singular When graffiti is the plural Right I am yeah Just little instances Of graffito

Yeah but imagine Because it's cappuccino And it should be Cappuccini shouldn't it Oh really That's interesting Because the I Is the plural

In the Italian So Like a panini Is actually a panino Panini is the plural Right Cappuccino is the singular. Cappuccini is the plural.

But imagine what it would be like if you wandered into the Pret in front of everyone at the Russia and just went, I'll have a three cappuccini, please. Three cappuccini, please. You'd look like such a fucking dick. Cappuccini.

I mean, yeah. No, just cappuccini. Don't put an S on the end. Didn't you fall foul of the Italian Il Fenomeno Ronaldo situation back in the day? Well, Il Fenomeno would be the Portuguese, right? And Il Fenomeno, I guess I'm not really sure. Il Fenomeno.

Peter, is this one of those things where you were right and I was wrong 15 years ago and you've always remembered it? No, no. Just that you were wrong. I didn't get involved. I didn't get involved. But I saw the glimmer in your eye and it was like your origin story for pedantry the things you hate the most about me

are one in my competitor streak two is the confidence in which i tell you you're wrong even though it's me that's wrong and then you haven't got the confidence and the way and the way the correction just slides off your back like like a soggy duck i just step up i step up and just accept it like the other day with the st louis thing right okay i mean i mean i was still wrong but i was closer to being right than you were i would say yeah but i styled it out didn't i he styled it out ignored it right wing grifters you just say it with confidence and then no one questions it that's basically how it works. Do that. Anyway, going back to the birthday party,

you turned up in the century. You brought a very nice present, which is kind of you. You bought my son a bubble machine, which he'll absolutely love. Yeah. You swashed your way through a couple of full fat colas. A couple of chandeliers.

Yeah, I had to clear off. I've got doggies. I wasn't sure whether the pub was dog friendly so I couldn't bring two stupid border terriers that will jump at most children's faces.

I think you made the right decision not to bring them. I'll be totally honest. It might have been a bit of a mood killer. Yeah. It's a good set of

good spells these kids as well. It was lovely. Yeah. A lot of fun. Very nice. A lot of fun. A lot of fun. A lot of fun. A lot of fun. killer. Yeah. It's a good set of good spells, these kids as well. It was lovely. Yeah. A lot of fun. Very nice. A lot of fun. A lot of fun.

A lot of fun time was had. I saw Jimmy the Fruitarian. I told Jimmy where I lived and he went, Peterbork, good pub. Yeah, he knows the pub everywhere. He knows his pubs. He knows his pubs. The man lives in the pub. He is an absolutely insatiable fiend for it.

He's got a DJ gig at his local pub now. Beautiful. Love that. A lot of time for that. Do you know why he's doing it? Quite simply because it means he gets free beers all night. Yeah. That's the only reason.

Well, I loved DJing when I used to do it. I just loved... They'd only let me do it for a couple of hours every time. What, at the pub? No, I just didn't like shit bars and clubs and one-time top shop um but i love doing it what a 2009 story what a 2009 story that was but it was better it was wall to wall the rakes was it wall to all the rakes yeah all that all that absolute nonsense uh all that kind of indie landfill as i used to call it but uming. I thought it was bloody brilliant. And the way you could impress your terrible music taste

onto other people, whether they liked it or not. Yeah, I remember DJing with you and you said, don't bring any records because I'll bring them. Yeah. And you brought those CDs in a wallet. Yeah. And it was really dark in the DJ booth. And I remember it was almost like a DJ Russia roulette

because I think two of the CDs out of 100 were lost profit CDs. And I think when I would put, I loved DJing so much because again, I would get free beer. And by the end of every gig, I would be so hammered that I put all of the CDs in the wrong wallets. And you also loved it because it gives you an opportunity to muck around with a CD writer. Exactly, yeah.

I've not burned a CD. I can't remember the last time I burned a CD, to be honest. You brought a CD-ROM into the office last week. No, I didn't. You did. I brought a Wi-Fi dongle. That's completely different. It had a CD with it. It did have a CD. It had a mini-CD with it, and I miss the age of the mini-CD.

Do you remember CDs that used to be like business card sized and business card shaped? Yeah. Very enjoyable. All that kind of defunct technology. So I remember when I went travelling around Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific in 2003, I took a mini disc player with me.

Yeah, yeah. I had about 10 mini discs with my favourite songs on them. Very durable. It's just unthinkable now, though. Me and my mates would just be sharing mini discs, exchanging them. You've got that Rolling Stones record on a mini disc.

Yeah, yeah, can I borrow it? And we would have mini disc players. And now I couldn't tell you where that mini disc player's gone. Did you record your own mini disc? Did you ever buy original mini discs? Because they were like hen's teeth, weren't they? Everyone just...

No, I recorded. Yeah, recorded mini discs. And has a kind of defunct technology ever been so short-lived in the mini disc? I think you had stuff like... They did videos on records, videos on vinyl. That was a short-lived technology.

See Techmoan on YouTube for all of these emerging products. HD video on tape. HD DVD as well. Yeah, HD DVD, that was a big thing. Was that Sony's? No, Sony's was Blu-ray, wasn't it? And they sort of took over, yeah. No, Sonny's was Blu-ray, wasn't it?

And they sort of took over, yeah. We were sort of gagging for an Oasis versus Blur, a VHS versus Betamax, but we didn't get it in that case. We didn't get that battle. I never really remembered Betamax. I only ever remember VHS. Yeah.

VHS was like, it was like, at the time it was fine, but if you look back at the quality now, my goodness me. Do you remember Video Plus? No one remembers Video Plus. Do you remember Video Plus?

I remember Video Plus. We used to have to type in the old, type in the number, the code that would basically, and it was basically a, it was a code that didn't change anything about when the recorder started or stopped in association with the actual show itself. It just, you may as well just have been typing in 7pm BBC Two, or just 7pm in fact, yeah. That was a take there, and I think there's something very kind of nostalgic still,

for no reason at all, buying a Radio Times. Sorry, just took a turbo hailer there. Are you inhaling? I'm inhaling. Yeah. You know like on some podcasts you hear somebody vaping? You can hear me inhaling a brick and old turbo hailer there. Are you inhaling? I'm inhaling. Yeah. You know like on some podcasts you hear somebody vaping. You can hear me inhaling a brick and old turbo hailer. I don't know what's wrong with us.

I think when the seasons change and the pressure or the, I don't know, some kind of tree bark happens. I think it affects my chest a little bit. I'm proud to say that I've never ever heard anyone knowingly ever heard anyone vape on the podcast I'm listening to which makes me feel like the

are you doing it again legalise it legalise it it is legal isn't it legal very legal yeah oh my god

I was playing football at the weekend and there was this lad who came off lad he was about 50 veterans league the weekend, and there was this lad who came off. Lad, he was about 50, Veterans League. He came off, and he was like bent over double, and he grabbed his emergency kind of when-needed turbo healer,

sort of Ventolin or whatever the hell he uses. I've never been a Ventolin man. Brickanill and Pullmacock guys unite. And he just went and he bashed about four or five puffs into himself what are you supposed to do? not that

that's too many your heart's gonna explode your heart's gonna fucking explode he's built up his tolerance like a heroin addict jeez oh that's absolutely

I've never seen anything like it well I had seen anything like I had seen anything like it because I saw... I think, was it Eze do it at Palace one time a few weeks ago? Yeah, I've never seen someone just bash back about three or four at the same time. I once saw when I was watching a game at Wembley, might have been a cup semi-final, can't remember,

Liverpool were playing, Steven Gerrard was on the bench, I guess he had come at Wembley, might have been a cup semi-final, can't remember, Liverpool were playing, Steven Gerrard was on the bench, I guess he had come back from injury or something, and he was about to come on, and I was sat quite near the bench, and of course, I'm not suggesting anything improper was going on, because I'm sure it wasn't,

I'm sure it was just over-the-counter stuff or whatever, but he must have housed about six pills before he came on. Six pills! Oh wow, I wonder what it was! I was thinking, what could they be? It's got to be glucose, hasn't it? At that point, it's got to be glucose tabs. Well, the best thing I could guess

in the rather boring conversation with myself was a couple of glucose, a couple of ibuprofen maybe, a bit of anti-inflammatory, something like that, and a couple of painkillers. But speaking of football, by the way, I played football with Tim Key last week.

Oh, yes. You were both at the back, weren't you? I think Tim Key's quite good, isn't he? Me and sidekick Simon. Yeah, sidekick Simon. He was all right. He was all right. Is he quite tall, Key?

No, not really. I mean, you and I are going to have a different perspective, aren't we? Yeah. I mean, I should know. I've interviewed him a couple of times, but I can't remember him being particularly tall. He was probably sitting down, was he? He was, yeah. You were both at centre- particularly tall. He was probably sitting down, was he? He was, yeah. You were both at centre-back in a seven-a-side,

was it? I think it was nine-a-side. But I actually hurt my knee very early so I couldn't really do much. So he was very accommodating and charitable with the extra running he had to do because we're both of an advanced age. And we actually ended up getting beat narrowly in the end. But he was

a very nice man played in tracksuit bottoms which I found disconcerting because it was about 28 degrees yeah where do you stand on I have occasionally

flirted with those very long sort of trousers kind of joggers slash you wear three quarter lengths sometimes you've always worn

three quarter lengths it perturbs me yeah you don't really see that sort of thing even with kids on the street, they don't really sort of do that kind of caper anymore, do you? Is that one of your observations these days?

Three-quarter length wet pants. That kids on the street don't wear three-quarter length shorts anymore? Well, no. I mean, you've got the classic John Cena jorts. I've seen you wear them. But I would say they're not great for football and never will be, to be honest. Marcus and Jim are a fan of the jorts.

Right, yeah. Long, long old short Marcus and Jim are a fan of the jorts right yeah long long old shorties the closest I'll get to jorts is when I had an old pair of jeans and I used to cut them up because I was going to

chuck them away anyway yeah yeah that's fine but I'd wear them really short so it looked like a kind of hop hands Daisy Dukes

yeah like basically I call it the gay porno look yeah I think if you kind of look back and you saw yourself, there is nothing,

I mean, as discussed on the show, there's plenty of pictures of me in jorts, long jorts, you know, in my band and that. But there are no pictures of me in short, kind of jean shorts.

And I would like maybe a vest, twinning it with a vest. I think that would be a bloody great look and you'd look back on that picture and sort of go that is better

than if I was wearing long jorts I think yeah tanned vest muscles on the arms and jorts

and little daisy jukes fantastic you've only got you've only got one of those you're not pumped you're not pumped anymore I'm not pumped anymore I'm a wreck unfortunately Dizzy Jukes. Fantastic. You've only got one of those. Damn. You're not pumped anymore. I'm not pumped anymore. I'm a wreck, unfortunately.

But you are someone who, with all the lifestyle choices you've made over the years, you are someone who has spent a lot of time in and around three-quarter length shorts. Yeah, and also eating a lot of glucose tablets. Those look as if tablets back in the day were very much... They were tasty, man. And you just absolutely get them down you. Remember the first 25 years of your life,

you wouldn't spend any time thinking about your calorie intake. No, no, exactly. It wouldn't come with an additional kind of potential burden of guilt. One pound at the spa at university used to get you a Cerely cheesecake in its entirety

£1.50 would be a mint viennetta now I was getting through one of those at least

an evening pork chops that is remarkable pork chops rice oh mate so if you were eating

a Sarah Lee cheesecake in its entirety yeah I want you to know that that had i think but i'm just doing some quick rudimentary mathematics at the moment that would have

had your daily intake in it 2100 calories in it to be honest it was so thin uh and it was very much their budget option so i don't i doubt it even had that but the the processed foods talk to me about the viennetter option well Well, yeah, exactly. I mean, again, very processed food, isn't it? Yeah, but very, very economical. Very economical, yeah. You get all your calories at the same time. You get all your sugar for the week. Yeah, it's pretty...

You know sometimes you see like drug addicts who basically just house those cans of nourishment. Yes, yeah, yeah. Because they get all the calories they need in the day and it's done, it's out of the way and it's cheap. Kind of what you were doing in a more kind of early 2000s late 90s kind of student way well nowadays you sort of think like you think that um huel

it like nourishment stuff like meal in a can used to have such a bad rep and now like these kind of like silicon valley entrepreneurs like they do just reinventing things we've already got um here's a bus one reinvent a bus yeah i saw that here's a bus here's a tunnel etc i'll tell you now at the age of 43 i'm very acutely aware of that i when it comes to calories per day i've got a budget right i'm very aware of that right yeah okay and and that's fine and i know as long as i stick roughly to that budget i'll be okay uh and i told you before that i've lost quite a lot of weight this year and i understand exactly how it's happening blah blah here is why something like huel wouldn't work for me right i'll drink the huel in the morning but nothing will change no the rest of the day

so basically what i'll be doing is eating drinking a really calorific milkshake off to start the day and then just carry it on as normal yeah and then like there's no they can sort of tell you that it'll keep you full for longer no it won't it's a drink and if it's a drink that's coming out of my pp in about an hour so don't worry about it don't worry totally i totally agree peter on that note let's have a little quick fuel break yes please and then when we come back we'll do batteries. And it's some interesting messages. So people are asking for some more detail about your microwave steaks and your recipe. Okay, nice.

Yeah, okay. Let's get into it. Oh, it's the Luke and Pete show. We're back and we're talking all things batteries. I've been watching a guy, bigclive.com, who's on YouTube. I've been watching him for years. Fucking BigClive.com. BigClive.com.

What even is that? BigClive.com. He's a Scottish bloke who talks like this, and he's got a lovely way about him. And he sort of takes apart electronics and has done for ages. And also, he sort of streams stuff like wine, which is not something I've really indulged in him with. How many people can there possibly be on YouTube taking part in electronics that you are interested in? It must be the same thing over and over again. I think he's got...

Well, not really. He basically just buys crap from the pound shop and then goes, oh, no, this is a potential death trap. This is awful. It's taking way too much current off the battery. It's going to blow up at any moment. And he's got a lovely... He's got a beautiful, soothing voice.

But he's sort of, hello, everyone. And he knows what he's about, and he'll take apart a bit of electronics. But he'll always say, if you see a dear departed disposable vape in the street, pick it up, take it apart, take the lithium cell out and you'll have a free battery. And as long as you charge it properly, it's a free battery. It's a free lithium cell.

New time listeners to this show will know that you know what you're talking about there because you referred to a battery as a cell. A cell. Do you not think that someone could be the first person, bearing in mind that lithium cells can power a car, if you have enough of them, could you go around, collect as many disposable vapes,

stick it in a car? That would be a new story, wouldn't it? That would be a new story. It'd be like those African village blokes who build their own planes out of just trash they find. And he's like, well, this is incredible. It would be as big as that. And so I've had the idea, bigclive.com, can you just make a car work, please?

That would be cool. I'd like to watch that. I wouldn't like to do it. I know that you talk about batteries and call themselves the same way that people know about firearms called bullet shells. Shells, right, okay. Surely it's a shell after it's been dispatched, no? I think maybe shells are just shotguns.

Shotgun shells. Maybe. Every gun has a shell. Every gun has an innards and an outed and the outed is the shell, isn't it, no? The bullet shell.

Everything bullet is a shell, isn't it? Shotguns are just big. It's like a regiments machine now. Anyway, let's get into the batteries. Do the sound. Alright, Jim Barnes in Barnes. Thank you, Jim. Where are you going to live? Hi, guys. I found these in a

handheld van bought from Robert Dyess. They were shit and didn't last the day. Hope it's a new one. And they've gone for status zinc. There's so much to unpack here, though, isn't there? There is, yeah. I mean, the main kind of thing is that they've taken a picture of the

battery in front of a reflective surface. I believe it's a MacBook or a computer, a laptop. And then in the background, somebody, not sure male or female, is scratching their belly. Full midriff on show. Full midriff on show, just having a little scratch of the belly.

And they've not cropped that out. And I'm just enjoying the general situation. Have they got a laptop in front of them as well? They've got a laptop in front of them as well and they're scratching their belly. And it's a good belly. Well done, everyone. And he's called Jim Barnes and he's in Barnes,

which is also enjoyable. Jim Barnes' belly's in Barnes. And also, status thinker and new player. Beautiful. Jim Barnes battery belly in Barnes. Battlestar Galactica. Beautiful. Very enjoyable.

G'day, boys. We're on our seventh run through of the Office US, by the way. G'day, boys. Davey says, it seems fitting that the first time I email is one of what should be my dad's 71st birthday. He was a huge fan of yours and the Ramble and introduced me to both before we lost him a couple of years ago. I'm sorry to hear that. We never hear these stories. That's one of the few kind of like, yeah, I'm sorry to hear that, mate.

That fucking sucks, Rodders. It feels like maybe the big man was looking down on me when I was harangued today by my 18-month-old changing the battery in his weird dancing dog and was presented with this little nutter. A double A Oh god, that looks like it's from Kazakhstan or something, doesn't it? It looks like

A bujjil ji yuan Bujjil bujjil ji yuan Bujjil bujjil ji yuan, no bujjil ji yuan. Juan. Budjiljuan. No. Budjiljuan. Juan.

Yeah. Yeah. Have another go? No. Go on, have one more go. Budjuan. Budjil. Budjiljuan.

Yeah. B-J-L-J-I-U- Y-U-A-N get it in the battery daddy for the old man fingers crossed Rodders I mean Rodders

that has to be a new player because that is the most demented title I've ever seen I'm afraid oh god I hate to say this

because I feel like I'm absolutely you know, properly damaging the memory of your old man, Rodgers. That is a shame. You're the second person in. Our friend Tim Bennett, back in February,

sent them in. And it looks like every bit as cheap, the electronica, as you mentioned, Rodgers, but I'm afraid he got there first. Beat you by three months, brother. That is so disappointing, mate. I'm so sorry.

But look, a fitting tribute that you took a shot at the battery, Daddy, beat you by three months brother so that is so disappointing mate i'm so sorry but uh look a fitting tribute that you that you took a shot at the battery daddy and maybe at some point in the near future rod is you'll have another go keep plugging away father's spirit uh memory alive by um keep on keeping on opening pieces of consumer electronic it's what he would wanted i think definitely yeah awesome i i appreciate i will not get a positive review for photography but give me a break i've got an eight month old and a full-time job um so rodgers um thank you for your picture and uh much love to your family uh richard uh simply done alkaline uh that's his first one for the top i'm currently enjoying a holiday in the us of a visit my sister who lives in the town of reading ma the transition The transition through Boston and Logan Airport was smooth.

Yeah, it's a good airport. It's a very good airport. Part of our trip, including a long weekend in the beautiful White Mountains National Park in New Hampshire, where we rented a cabin just outside the town of Franconia. After spending a few hours settling in and enjoying the scenery, the urge to poke around the various nooks and crannies became too strong, and after a few minutes rummaging around, I discovered a basket offering up some spare cells for to attach my heart racing. Surely a cabin in the woods of New Hampshire,

perfect head-touch territory, will contain some new players. We had some Duracell AA's, some Sony branded AAA's. Simply Done Alkaline AAA's. That's their first submission from Richard. Lukey Moore, is it a new player? Simply Done are not a new player, I'm afraid.

What a shame. The photos you've attached do look absolutely stunning. Smashing. PSS Power Alkaline AAA or just PSS Power. The logo is confusing. They are a new player. Beautiful. So PSS Power Alcalina are new players.

Pete, talk to me a bit about the photos that Rich has attached. Look at that fifth one. And the fourth one. Wow, yeah. I mean, is that a Porsche? That looks like a Porsche. He's got a fucking top-of-the-range Porsche in the drive. He's got a fucking top-of-the-range Porsche.

He's hired that just for the photo. And he's got a big red kind of like beautifully put together cabin. It's the sort of bucolic cabin based build that I at one point used to introduce on D-Max. Cabin builders off grid where they're just constantly building cabins. Is that all they are now that kind of continuity announcing it can't be far away

to be honest it can't be far away to be honest it's the guy who does the BBC one like he'll say when he's about to announce say

I don't know like the one show or whatever right he'll come up with the little card will be on there waiting

you know they have that kind of BBC graphic or whatever and he'll go, and it's Richard here with you live from BBC Television Centre.

It's like, why are you telling us that you're live? Like, what kind of flex is that? Well, I think because nobody else does it.

I think certainly when I was still kicking a ball in the VR scene, ITV1 would be live. I think your major, ITV1, Channel 4,

BBC1 would be live. But why does it matter and who cares? Well, it's just nice to know you're not a weird pre-recorded robot, I suppose. And in the same way that me and my partner

enjoyed very much when they repeated the first hour of the ABBA rundown on BBC Radio 2. Oh, yeah, you won't... You haven't stopped talking about that, have you? Couldn't believe it.

But because Gary, whatever his name is, wasn't live, he couldn't come on and go, oh, sorry about that, there seems to be been a bit of a technical issue with this. That's probably the emergency type, didn't they? They just played the emergency tape and then they just came back in

where you would expect them to be. And so if you don't have someone live, if something goes wrong, like sometimes... I mean, telly used to go wrong all of the time. Now, of course, it never does because there's backups and backups and backups and it's really easy to do. And it all automated but back in the day things would just disappear you'd be waiting for ages after an ad break there'd be that little kind of

everton mint in the top right hand corner of the screen rotating yeah it'd be absolutely insane like things would be going wrong all the time yeah yeah yeah Yeah. It was a much more an innocent time, I suppose. Chaotic time. But you know that when, to say that, yeah, you get up in the morning

on Christmas morning, you're unwrapping the presents with the family and mum puts the radio on for the Christmas songs or whatever. The radio two or whatever it is,

that's all pre-wrecked months ago. Radio two probably would be. Absolute isn't. Oh really? Because you know that a lot of the day times aren't. One of the greatest things

about the already great Dotan Adebayo, who presents on The Constant for us and is a broadcasting legend, the best storyteller I've ever met in my whole life. He does overnights on Five Live, right? He does up all night.

And on Christmas Eve into Christmas night and Christmas night into boxing night, he insists on going in and donating basically his time over Christmas to people who are listening to his show because he said he's

built up such a family over like 20 years there's so many people haven't got anyone to talk to he said to me it would be an insult to them and the support they've given me to pre-record and then feel like I'm talking to them live and I'm not so I've got no choice it's a great privilege to be a broadcaster it's a small price for me to pre-record and then feel like I'm talking to them live and I'm not. So I've got no choice. It's a great privilege to be a broadcaster.

It's a small price for me to pay. He goes in every Christmas. Good man. I mean, that is lovely, isn't it? And it annoys me when they, on Radio 1, for example, they will get... I thought you were about to say, it annoys me that he's doing better than me on the radio.

It annoys me. It annoys me that he... It annoys me that he that on Radio 1 they will basically everyone will take a holiday for like three weeks

over Christmas and they will take student radio kids and get them to do shows basically covering Radio 1 talent's

holidays and say it's this massive opportunity when in reality nobody ever gets a job from it there's been like two in 15 years who are they and it's this massive opportunity when in reality nobody ever gets a job from it there's been like two in 15 years and it's who are they um me you meet yeah uh greg james i think he was student

radio was he i would he's not very well i would i would you say that though peter but you have to look at it in perspective if there's absolutely no chance of getting a job and i agree it's poor but if i cast myself back to when i was 21 i'd have killed for that opportunity they would have done yeah but but effectively you're just covering someone's um holiday time because they can't be asked to do a show um and there's never any chance that you're going to get any further work or it's ever going to affect your your career because there's just so many of them there's like 20 kids that go on radio one over the over the christmas period and it's a it's it's a bit of a tradition but I think it's a bit of a piss dick. I think you're sort of selling kids

dreams. Do you reckon we'll be on Radio 1 one day? Well we're so young and vibrant Vivacious. Vivacious Right let's get out of here. Let's go Let's get out of here It's this kind of linking and professionalism that would mean that I imagine the phone is ringing off the hook

I hate all that fucking stuff. What? I hate all that cheesy shit. You don't listen to any of it. Because I hate it. All right. It's the Luke and Pete show. We've been Luke.

We've been Pete. We'll be back on Monday. That's all right with you. Look after yourselves. Bye-bye. Bye. The Luke and Pete Show is a Stack Production and part of the ACAST Creator Network.
