Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Luca Peach Shopping, with you, joined by Mr. Lucie Moore. Since the last show, Lukie Moore, I have become obsessed with buying a pressure cooker. Yeah, I think, and rightly so. I think it's only a matter of time, wasn't it? Do you need to get sign off from the part that you have access to or not bother? Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:00:23 I mean, I think, did the... I mean, I could buy it. It's the using of it, I suppose. We're just sort of running out of storage for... I've got a slow cooker, got a race cooker. I just think the holy trifos has to sort of, it has to start and get them all on the go at the same time.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Get them all the go at the same time. The great Jules Breach always used to tell me to get a rice cooker. She would always be like, look, if you, because I think her mom is from, I want to say, Singapore or Malaysia. And she's like,
Starting point is 00:00:52 growing up, we always are the rice cooker. I've always got one on the go at home. It's the only way to cook rice. I couldn't do it any other way. I know why people don't do it. You know, you can do all kinds of cooking in it?
Starting point is 00:01:02 All kinds of, Does it guarantee you to give you good rice every time? Every time. How does it work then? How does it what's different about it? I don't know. It's magic. It doesn't matter how much water you put in.
Starting point is 00:01:10 How much rice you put in? Just wash your rice. Make sure you wash your ice. Right. Add a bit of salt and it just, it's just fucking make. You can make congee. You can make little sort of dishes and stuff, little sort of, you know.
Starting point is 00:01:22 All you know, all you really, most. I do like food over, I love it. I love a meal, which is something over rice. I love it. Most fucking dishes, most dishes you can make. Just stick some bloody, um, chicken stocking, the rice, and they just add like anything. Like, it's a fucking cream, tomatoes, like, protein,
Starting point is 00:01:43 and you've got a dish, you've got a dish. And it just cooks, it just cooks, it's delicious. I heard the other day from a relative who was staying over from the US that in Chinese takeaways in the US, you can ask for your order to be prepared without MSG. Right, okay. What's the fun in that? What's the point?
Starting point is 00:02:02 What's the point? Where's the fun in that? What's it going to taste off? No. Well, it doesn't going to taste them much, is it? Yeah. It's just funky salt, isn't? It's just an umami salt.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Chill out, yeah? Is it actually that bad for you, MSG? I've said it before this. They reckon that the, the, uh, the person who proposed that it was bad for you, um, was based on a study where a man, um, had drank a load of, like, red wine in the night. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Okay. Oh, I feel really unwell. Oh. And it was just kind of based on that. Was it? Was it. They sort of ran with that. It sounded very much like my life, I would say.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Any good China takeaways recently? No, I had one last week. No. I had a solo pizza and watched Pizza Film Club. That was no last sort of bit of fast food really. Why do you make everything sound so depressing? It was depressing, actually, because the film was quite bad. We forced Marcus to watch it, and that's the main thing.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Kicking and screaming too? It wasn't kicking and screaming too. It was golden shoes, about a boy who found some golden shoes. Is it bad? Yeah, it was pretty bad. Had a really good cast, though, in inexplicably. Is it a B movie? Yeah, it's kind of like an indie,
Starting point is 00:03:08 not even an indie movie, like a sort of college movie, but inexplicably has Julia Roberts's brother in it. Yeah, but he's in loads of crap stuff, in there? And the Egyptian bloke from Indiana Jones and Las Crusade and the woman who used, who was in Johnny Mimonic. Johnny Mnemonic. Do you ever see that film? Johnny Mnemonic?
Starting point is 00:03:27 I feel like I have a long time ago. Is it Keanu Reeves? Keanu Reeves, yeah, yeah. he comes across as quite an interesting guy now yeah do you think that after you've been sort of spotted on the tube enough times it becomes an affectation I was like well I simply can't take a private jet now yeah I know what you mean yeah I do think it's like it's like um I do sometimes wonder why certain you know really famous people give a shit like yeah I'll give you an example
Starting point is 00:03:54 the other day I was on the radio obviously I'm back on the radio now uh-huh right yeah and I was doing a show with someone and the thing about talk sport is that it is actually genuinely impactful people do actually listen do you know what which I mean like
Starting point is 00:04:10 as in like people in football they complain when you say things yeah but this wasn't to do with me right this was to do with someone who was on the show before me
Starting point is 00:04:19 right okay and who shall remain nameless and they were saying that John Terry wasn't in the top five Premier League centrebacks of all time, right? Right. Fine, whatever, you know, fine.
Starting point is 00:04:33 It's just a fucking radio chat. Good old radio on meat. That's, that's talk spot, meat, that, in it. There's no games on at the moment. Transfer window's been slow, whatever. But people love it, people get involved. And to be fair, like, you know, if you happen upon a topic of people who are into,
Starting point is 00:04:49 you do get a lot of calls and stuff. Yeah. Anyway, fucking John Terry phoned in. It's like, I don't really funny, but like, John? Yeah, why do you care? Like you've won the Premier League. You're probably, you're probably, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:06 you would be in the conversation for the greatest Chelsea defender of all time. You love Chelsea, right? You would certainly be in the conversation of the best Premier League centre back of all time if it wasn't someone trying to wind someone up. But the point is, whoever that presenter is, they're not saying that to wind you up, John?
Starting point is 00:05:22 They're saying it to wind up Chelsea fans, you should be above that. You should be like, okay, fine, that's the game on. And that's a sort of, that's a sort of behaviour that will mean that he doesn't get the jobs. Do you know what I mean? It's kind of like, it's just like, you don't need that, you don't need that smoke. You don't need that noise. It's like with the Keanu Reeves thing.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And the reason that's relevant is because you ask me that question. And it's like, to me, I think, I'm thinking, I hope not because I don't think he should really care. I want to live in a world. Yeah, no. It's good point, actually. If he likes getting the tube, great. Get it. It's a really easy way to get across town. It's so much quicker than anything else.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah. I've seen some good, my mum got in a conversation with long. and Hill on the tube once. Oh, really? That's right, yes. I remember that's a good lap step, like one. Did, um, is...
Starting point is 00:06:05 I saw Julian Casablanxon on tube as well to throw back to the strokes from last of the same. Skinny, skinny, skinny big jeans? He looked very cool. He looked very cool. Do you, um, do you think that uh, um, because you, wasn't, um, wasn't your father-in-law around?
Starting point is 00:06:20 Um, for, for, for, for the ring order, thinking about it. Yeah, he's gone back. What's, uh, he's banging to his, um, laser cutting in this moment of time. kind of, is he... Yeah, so when I told you what he was into on the recent Luke and Peachu episode,
Starting point is 00:06:33 he then corrected me to say it wasn't actually that, it's this. He then explained to me again what it was and I've forgotten again. Good stuff. So I don't know. But he did a load of good stuff around the house. He sorted out the plumbing
Starting point is 00:06:50 that needed to do in because it's an old house and we only just moved in. He got all that sorted for us. With a leak from one of the bathrooms down into the kitchen. he fixed that he then found a piece of old furniture that was left in the attic yeah that we didn't really look twice at whoa and um he was like i can make something out of that and he pulled it down turned it into an outside um coffee table all right then he found an old um dressing table
Starting point is 00:07:18 like a chest of drawers kind of thing which had been really badly kind of painted looked like by maybe a kid or something years ago and just been left in the attic he sanded that down made it like new, and it's now genuinely a nice piece of furniture, researched what wood it was, then treated it, and it's now dried off, and it's in our dining room.
Starting point is 00:07:38 How has he got his tools? He went to B&Q and bought a lot of tools. Like a load of power tools? Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I'll keep in the house, and I'll just use them next time I come. Nice.
Starting point is 00:07:48 What are we talking about? What have you got? Sanders, circular saws. Sanders, circular saw. A load of other stuff. You're asking the wrong man. I don't know. Stuff in boxes vaguely looks like powertil. I don't fucking know.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Love that. Love that. But it's great. You've got a little powertil collection. I always say to him. I always say to him. And he listens to the show. So shout out to you, Elsie. Thanks for coming to see us. Always great to have him over. He's a great guest.
Starting point is 00:08:12 But I do always say to him, you don't need to do any of this stuff. But I think he just genuinely loves doing it. It's a lovely thing to do, I think. He'd be loved, he'd much prefer to be doing that in the afternoon in the garden. He would be like going to Big Ben or whatever. He's like, I've seen Big Ben. Great. It's great. It's good.
Starting point is 00:08:25 but I've been here loads of time. I've been to the tape modern to see the man with the big boobies. I don't think he has. No, I'd love to get confirmation from him. He will get in touch and answer that question. But maybe the Guatemalan American artist may be doing a show near him
Starting point is 00:08:39 in America. Maybe. Maybe. At sauce. Well, Elsie is a fan of the arts, but I don't know if he'd be a fan of that specific piece of art. For that reason.
Starting point is 00:08:51 For that reason. Yeah. He's also great with the boy, the boy love. having him over. Yeah. Granddad's sort of, I don't know why,
Starting point is 00:08:58 but like granddad's really, like my daughter doesn't care about my mom at all, but she, she's absolutely, put granddad on. As soon as you get on, put granddad on.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Like, it's so rude. My son calls his granddad, no, no, because he's obviously Italian, so that's the Italian. I see.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Like it. I like that a lot. No, no. Have you learned much Italian for a giggle? None. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Not even. Abordand. Just a word here or there. Just to sort of just use a... Gratia me. There we go. But he doesn't speak Italian. He just has the Italian tradition
Starting point is 00:09:37 is in his family. So his granddad would have been no-no. So that's what he wanted to be. Yeah. Yeah, but I think you can sort of remember... I think you sort of remember... I think you absorb more words than you sort of realize, I suppose. Oh, probably.
Starting point is 00:09:47 There's a really nice cafe near us that we go to all the time. And that's run by an Italian family. And they're, from a similar part of Italy where my wife's family are from. And I made that point to them when my wife wasn't there. And it kind of turned into a bit of a stitcher because I think they then thought that she spoke Italian. They started speaking to an Italian. And she was like, I was born in Connecticut.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I've known what you're talking about. Fantastic. But it's great to have him over. And his sister came as well. They came and Auntie Sue had never left the US before. Right. So she was delighted to be here. We did all the tourist staff
Starting point is 00:10:26 and... Wow, those trousers. To do lots of different bits and pieces. Yeah, it was good. It was fun. What's on the kind of like top ten kind of things that people want to do? Well, in my experience, so Buckingham Palace is definitely up there.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Yeah. Big Ben in the House of Parliament's up there. Tower Bridge is a big one for Americans, I think. Yeah, Tower Bridge and the old... What's the big fucking... The Tower of London and stuff. So Tower of London is a big one.
Starting point is 00:10:54 but then like we didn't do that because we don't so many times my wife was like I can't be fucking bothered to do that again yeah no because I could obviously I come into it like I'd sort of cycle past it every day and I'm like I should really should really pop in to see what's going on I cycle past like buckingham pallor so they don't even lift my head it's mad in it no you just see it all the time but what's actually really cool is when you do actually have a little afternoon around town and with a tourist who's genuinely excited like you see it from their eyes. It's actually really fun. Yeah. You kind of, I
Starting point is 00:11:27 know how I feel when I go to like somewhere cool and you're like, I should feel like this all the time. I was saying to LC the other day, I was saying, you'll never understand as an American how exciting it is for a British person to see like the Manhattan skyline for the first time. Yeah. Yeah. It's so exciting.
Starting point is 00:11:46 That is amazing. But it's also exciting to like just go in a fucking 7-Eleven and buy a sweets I've never seen. Everything is just just great. I remember when the Wi-Fi of Access to was doing her first master's in a university in the US where she was still living there and I'd go visit
Starting point is 00:12:03 and if I was there for a couple weeks her classes would be like on a Tuesday night or whatever and sometimes I'd just stay home but sometimes I'd go with her because there was a big shopping mall next door and I'll just go in there pot around there like a mall rat but yeah exactly like that
Starting point is 00:12:18 but the thing was right because it's not a tourist place and because they're not used to having British people. Yeah. They all want to talk to you. You know me, I love a bit of that. So I'm chatting away. You know, having a good old time. And it would go so fast because it was such an interesting thing to me,
Starting point is 00:12:32 even though it was for everyone else, just so normal. Yeah. Were you really playing up to it? So I'm going, what are these? And you go, it's the pair of pants, sir. Well, we don't have those. We don't have those in my home country. But R.C.C.
Starting point is 00:12:46 But R.T.C.C. was well impressed with the big Sainsbridge near us. Right. Okay. She was just into it. And the same way that I was. into going to Target. Yeah, I guess if you're sort of buying, like, if you're into, yeah. But I mean, Walmart's very unique in that you can buy toys, shoes, all of the different
Starting point is 00:13:04 sugary drinks, medicine, fishing gear, stuff to fix your car, guns, like, just the amount of stuff you can fucking buy in Walmart is astonishing. I would, I would fight, I would die on the hill that says, if you go to a big, you big LL Bean. Do you know what LL Bean is? What's that L Bean? It's like an outdoors shop, clothing, equipment.
Starting point is 00:13:30 So you can buy like, you could buy really nice, like kind of, I don't know, like a really nice kind of shacket or whatever or a pair of hardware and jeans and some nice shoes and stuff and a bag.
Starting point is 00:13:39 But you could also literally buy a shotgun or a canoe or a massive fishing rod, right? Yeah. But the way they do the shops out is it's like a, a countryside lodge, just massive. So there's all these big leather chairs everywhere,
Starting point is 00:13:56 and they've got like places you can buy drinks and stuff. So if you walk in there, you can spend three hours in there, and it's great. It is great. All this is the same. All this is amazing, like ostensibly a fly fishing shop,
Starting point is 00:14:08 but it's like a proper outdoor store. They've got these massive leather, like armchairs and them. You get your Kindle out, sit in there, have a cup of tea. Like, it's great. Honestly, it's really good.
Starting point is 00:14:18 And what I noticed about like, you notice about shops in this country when you go shopping and knocking about London and everything and say you want to go and buy that of clothes or you're going with your department you've got access to and they want to do shopping and you don't really want to. There's nobody to sit.
Starting point is 00:14:34 There's nowhere to relax. Like it's pretty full on. Because I feel like in the US they take it serious and you can sit down sofas and you can have a drink and you can relax. It's all really nicely air conditioned as well. Yeah. And I guess it's kind of like we just can't,
Starting point is 00:14:49 I think people just can't. think we can't be trusted. Do you know what I mean? We'd get like we'd, we'd, we'd get egg on it. Do you know what I mean? We just have, we just, we just, we'd just, we just get, you've got some, you've got some banana on that. Yeah. Right. Well done. That's getting, that's getting pulled out. That's never going to be allowed to be in here again. Well, I, I, um, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, draw the comparison of when I remember when
Starting point is 00:15:11 I was a kid, I was about fucking 18, and I've been sent out by the lads to go and buy a new football because we'd lost one and we wanted to have a kick around that Saturday, right? and I had a car so I drive into the shop in the shopping centre try and find a football and I start bouncing a football in the shop
Starting point is 00:15:28 and the woman who ran the shop was like you can't do that in here and I was like what she can't bounce a football you know if you're going to bounce it you have to buy it and it's like well I want to see
Starting point is 00:15:38 what it's like no no you're going to buy that kind of experience and then you go to Orvis in Vermont and they're taking lads outside and they're casting fishing rods on the grass
Starting point is 00:15:47 and what's going on they get it right They get it right. Oh, fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. But they just, like, I think it's just, people are just willing to sort of flex that.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I am the customer and I will be treated properly here. It's like, you're lucky you even fucking be here. What are you doing there? Yeah. What are you doing here? This is a fucking interrupt from my day you've been in here. Yeah, it's the same with like service in like restaurants and stuff, isn't it as well? Which I know is kind of because they have to rely on tips,
Starting point is 00:16:17 so they have to be really nice, which is wrong. But, well, I never know, do you, whenever you sort of get a pint or get like anything in a shop, really,
Starting point is 00:16:25 sometimes the, the tip thing will come up and it'll say, do you want to pay, you know, 50%, 20% or whatever. And sometimes the,
Starting point is 00:16:34 the cashier, the waiter or whatever, will press cancel on that screen. In this country? Yeah, in this country, they'll sort of automatically cancel it as if to sort of say,
Starting point is 00:16:44 I only served you one pint or something. I don't really know what the rules are. Why, what the price, that they automatically cancel it for you. You've sort of got you don't want to pay a tip on. No, so I think it's fucking shit. I think it's stupid.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Like if you go into a restaurant, it's table service, obviously you tip, right? Yeah. If you go up to the bar to buy a pint and you're using your card, you should not be tipping and nor should you be given the option to tip. It's fucking nonsense.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I would say, I would say, the barman in that situation you just described there, it's probably embarrassed about it. Oh, do you reckon so? Yeah. So they're just canceling it to say, oh, fucking, don't worry about that. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:18 the machine works or something. But in the US, of course, you put a dollar down for every drink you buy. Yeah, yeah. Which I think is a bit of a weird one now, because obviously, that tradition comes from everyone paying in cash, right? Yeah, and you always have to just the fact that you, you know, you go to America and you always have to have dollars on you, but also
Starting point is 00:17:34 the dollar, I feel like if you're paying 30, you know, if you're paying for like two, like you easily buy like two mixed drinks, $40 and you put down $2 for that, that doesn't make any sense. That does not make any sense. I'm not sure what you should do in that situation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Do you do the percentage? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, yeah, that's... I've got in trouble with a waitress in LA once because I miscalculate at a tip and she was really rude about it. It's really difficult.
Starting point is 00:18:02 And I know they're probably sick of Europeans thinking they can get away. We're playing nothing, but it is sometimes quite difficult. We're sick of American tourists as well. So, not the ones we've just had to stay. They were great. But generally speaking,
Starting point is 00:18:12 we know what American tourists can be like, so it cuts both ways. Yeah. We don't know your Byzantine, fucking complicated tipping system. It cuts both ways when you're cutting a table that was in the loft, you know? It does.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Exactly. In many ways. Measure twice, cut once. Measure twice, cut once. Peter, I've got a load more emails to get through. Do you want to me to do that? Let's do some emails for current loud. We've got to do some emails.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I'll do the battery first. I'll do a quick battery. Okay, cool. Mark Reins. Chardley, look, Pete. I was wondering through the office when I spotted this absolute specimen sitting all alone on the desk. A lonely 9-volt battery from an ultrasonic pet dog repeller used by the dog rangers. What a life.
Starting point is 00:18:54 What a life? Sorry, what? What are Marks in New Zealand. Just what? All I've got information-wise for Mark is he was originally from Manchester. Now he lives in New Zealand. He stands at a majestic 5.9, 5 foot 9 and weighs in a solid 90 kilograms, BMI 29.4 in the overweight range and a proud user of Gaviscon. That's all I've got from Mark.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Why he's hanging out with people who wrangle dogs, dog rangers. But, yeah, I had to sort of check out this battery. He said, after giving it the official, yep, that's definitely a battery inspection. I rescued it and nominated it for the greatest honor. Any battery can hope for a place in the battery daddy. I've already had three accepted. So this little bloke is looking for a,
Starting point is 00:19:36 it's not really a name for a Hadrick Plus One, is there? Isn't it called a hall? Yeah, but that was unofficially applied. By us, really, I suppose. Yeah. Well, in certain parts of Europe, they call five goals of poker, don't they? Would you like to tell what the battery actually is, Peter, so I can search for it? That probably makes sense, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:01 Yeah. It is a SCA. It's a simple as that. It's a 9-Volter. Mars Voter, 9-Volter. Yeah, S-C-A. Is it a new player? It's a new player.
Starting point is 00:20:14 There's no other example of that battery in this email inbox. It's a new player. Right. That's absolutely wild. So, I mean, at this late stage. So many of wants to complain
Starting point is 00:20:21 or protest that they can, but as far as I can see, it's a new player. Yeah. And you will have also searched batteries that are like,
Starting point is 00:20:28 SCAR batteries because SCA being, you know, a component of that word. Yeah, I've got a very good, very good way of searching. System. Yeah, I've got a system.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Don't worry about that. You got a system. Yeah. Don't worry about the system. It's not perfect. No, no system is perfect. No.
Starting point is 00:20:42 I'm fairly confident that as a new player, so congratulations to you. A bloody lovely job Well done, Mark And we'd love to know more information About why you hang out with dog rangers Yeah, I mean, what does that even
Starting point is 00:20:54 What does that job even entail? I'm imagining he's, even though it doesn't make any sense, he's in one of those fire watch towers With loads of members of the dog region Who go around searching New Zealand Brush for Dead Bodies and stuff I don't know why I'm thinking that
Starting point is 00:21:11 You just made that up into it's not a job either, is it? But you fancy a job where you'd be outside in like a big national park just ranging around? I would love to be one of those Firewatch people. I wouldn't do my job. I'd get very distracted. If I'd forget to sort of report the smoke, sneaking up the sky. I think I'd quite like to be one of those geys that just sits on those quads.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I just motors around. Checking on stuff. Yeah. Well, just kind of like, it's just kind of, if there was a job where I could just inspect my own house, just like went around just walked around my house just checking the perimeter making sure there's
Starting point is 00:21:50 making sure there's water in the dog bowl like just things like that I'll quite like it because my dog mark well yeah yeah that would be part of it I suppose if I was just like steward for the house
Starting point is 00:22:01 I'd be really happy with that but I'm steward of the house and I've got other stuff to do and I'm ill I often find myself yeah if I go and play golf in a nice golf course and I'm tea times early in the morning
Starting point is 00:22:14 and say eight o'clock tea time. Yeah. And it's a nice day. And you see some of the greenkeepers, you think you've got a nice job there. Yeah. That is nice. Slim.
Starting point is 00:22:22 You're very peaceful. Friend of the show Slim. You've got a greenkeeper, aren't he? Yeah. Exactly. Like your electric golf cart, you're cutting about.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It's all very peaceful and there's a lot of fresh. But are you chasing people off from doing like barbecues on there and stuff. Not in nice places, I don't think. Not in nice places. Yeah, because I always sort of think is like the golf course right near my house is people just walk their dogs and do whatever they want to. do play a bit of football over but then it's also a golf course as well so I don't really
Starting point is 00:22:47 understand where where an itch was a lovely golf course near you the rochford hundred do you know that one that would not be somewhere that I've I've dirty my boots in but that is a great golf course you know I played there with him and it's got a couple of claims to fame it's let me get this right so it's the only golf course that has a fully operational church in the grounds okay nice and it's the The clubhouse is something like 500-odd years old, and it used to be Anne Berlin's house. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Love one. Would, uh, how early does like a golf course open? Because the thing that would annoy me is that if, if I was bad at it, which I would be bad at it, people would be coming up behind me. So like, could you just sort of make sure you're the, no.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You can't, but you wait, you wave people. you can wave people through though that's how it was right oh you can sort of go just take it you're playing slow you're seeing it's the done thing is to wave people through so you take i see if people are waiting behind you and they're faster than you so say your plans are four ball and there's like two of them whatever and they're better you play your t-shots and you let them play t-shots and then they crack on and you wait for them to play through but do you say how do you sort of broach that so i'm not i'm not very good how do you sort of mate the majority of golfers aren't very good well then how do you know that if you're just passing
Starting point is 00:24:14 everyone through. Everyone just pass on each other until it's because it's obvious because if they catch up with you fast then they're either fewer of them or they're better than you. I see right. Okay. Interesting. It doesn't happen as often as you think right. Honestly. No. Okay. And also it depends. It depends because like if you think about it even if the people behind you were good all it takes is one of them to hit the ball in the woods and they're looking for it
Starting point is 00:24:36 for five minutes and it's not really as it's not as cut and dry as that. It's just trying to play it by year type thing. but you can tee off I mean you can tee off essentially when it's light basically I think the way that a lot of clubs will do it is they'll you know if you book it in they'll sign you in but if there's no one there
Starting point is 00:24:53 because it's too early I think you can just crack on you just crack on because if you remember I think yeah I've never really been that early so I don't know but I think you could probably play I reckon you could probably play 530am I reckon if you wanted to
Starting point is 00:25:06 yeah because in June it's like like 430 isn't it yeah yeah interesting so I think so I I think that's one of the things about being a greenkeeper is the downside of it would be that you would be as early starts. Very early. Yeah, very early starts. But like, surely you've got a truly long, long shifts as well because you're just kind of constantly, you know, preening and making sure that everything's...
Starting point is 00:25:28 It's more than one of one of the greenkeeper, mate. Yeah, I guess so. I remember reading that I think it's Wentworth, one of the really nice courses where they have PJ events. I think it's got something like 50-odd greenkeepers. Jesus Christ. Yeah, it's mad. And let's do an email before we go, because I'll keep me and to do this one. I keep not getting around to it.
Starting point is 00:25:44 It's from Andrew. He wants to talk about flat earthers. Yeah, okay, nice. Which is a bit of us. He says, Hi guys, I'm not a flat earther, but I've listened to the explanations of them in good humor and also ask the question you both asked.
Starting point is 00:25:57 If it's flat, where are the poles? Well, the most common belief is that there is no South Pole and that the North Pole is the center of the disc. It was described to me as almost unpealing an orange from the bottom with Australia, South America and South Africa almost being like three points of the rim. So their evidence is that no planes go over the South Pole. For example, when you fly from L.A. to Australia,
Starting point is 00:26:23 you don't go directly across the Pacific and instead fly up the coast of Japan and across the northern Pacific round earth and say this is due to convection, wind currents, fuel efficiencies. So there you go. He says, but the best conspiracy is Big Pharma, F-A-R-M-E-R, being involved with big pharma, as in pharmaceuticals, they're making genetically modified peas bigger
Starting point is 00:26:45 so that a pea-sized amount of toothpaste is bigger and bigger and more and more, meaning you go through toothpaste at a quicker rate. I don't know if this is just to increase revenue or they're putting something in the toothpaste, but there you go. That's a great conspiracy, that. Yeah, I like that. That's a little bit of fun that one, I would say. You have to go round the houses to get on board with that one.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Yeah. So, I mean, so the flat earthers do just feel like it's definitely a disc. Why would it have to be a disc? Do you know what I mean? Like, why would it have to be a disc? Could it not be just a set of islands in a raw, in the, you know, you've unpeeled the world like an orange? Yeah, I'm not, I don't really know.
Starting point is 00:27:20 So other than the fact that it's like, it's a way for stupid people to feel clever. Yeah. I don't know where it even comes from or why it's there. Right, okay, yeah. What's the, what is the utility of it? Hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Well, I didn't serve anybody, does it? Like you say, it's just sort of like a well-actually men, isn't it? Exactly, yeah. You know. Which I am sometimes in my context. I'm a well-actually man. Show one. One last one before we go.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Go for it. Nathan has got in touch. Delighted to tell us that prime energy has sadly collapsed in Australia. Hello, lads, what you and your families are well. After years of trying, the demise of prime in Australia has finally happened. That's it. That's it. We made it uncool.
Starting point is 00:28:05 We made it uncool. We made it uncool. We made it uncool. because of the hard work we put in about two years ago. Thank you for the erasopods, etc. Nathan goes into a lovely message, which I won't read here. It seems to it's a bit backslappy.
Starting point is 00:28:17 But thank you very much to Nathan for listening. I thank you very much for the update on the Prime. That's quite a weird turnaround given that it only was introduced in 2022. And it was so in demand that people were driving miles and paying loads and loads of money for it. And now it's so unpopular that it's being discontinued in major territories. Yeah, you kind of think that it's It was a real surprise that it ever was successful Because it just seems like a real sort of cash grab
Starting point is 00:28:45 It's like, is it a feastables, the old Mr Beast? Him and Mr Beast sort of Because Mr Beast did chocolate for a while, I think And then, yeah, it turns out it's even with all of the money in the world Like it's still quite hard to get things right You know, they couldn't have the state power That's door had
Starting point is 00:29:04 Oh, I don't know. Kids are kids like him because he throws big things off hills and stuff and I guess, yeah, kids like chocolate so it's absolutely perfect really. A match made in heaven. A match made in a boardroom. We do it.
Starting point is 00:29:21 We do it if we had the listenership. What do our listenership like? We did our brew. I was in, actually, when I was speaking a while ago when I was in the Sea Containers Hotel, There was the disco pills 40-foot brewery drink. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:29:38 In the thing. And I was like this. That was nice. And then I could have a chat with a mutual friend that we've also released a beer. We did that. My Fizzy Aunt did really well. They sold so many pints of that at the World Cup of the United. Yes, completely sold out.
Starting point is 00:29:55 The only, I've got a few left in my fridge. I promised I'd save my dad a couple. That's why they're still in there. But I think it's hard to get them now. I think I've got one at the back somewhere and that's about it. I might have the numbers wrong because it was a while ago now but I think in that first World Cup watch party
Starting point is 00:30:09 they sold over 1,500 points of it. That was, that was boozy. Not the cans. Bear in mind there were 11 other beers on offer and that wasn't even the cans. That was just on draft. Paints, paints, paints. A bunch of good fucking boozes, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Good fucking lads and lasses, good lads and lasses and everything in between. Love it. All right, Peter, take us out there. We'll be back on Monday Have a lovely weekend Enjoy the sunshine Which will no doubt be
Starting point is 00:30:40 smashing down onto your face as we speak Lukeymos say goodbye I'm looking forward to that rain Goodbye I know And it's goodbye for me The Luke and Pete show is a stack production And part of the ACAST creator network
