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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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...
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?
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
Like,
it's so rude.
My son calls his granddad,
no,
no,
because he's obviously Italian,
so that's the Italian.
I see.
Like it.
I like that a lot.
No,
no.
Have you learned much Italian
for a giggle?
None.
It's all right.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
