You broke my heart and now I'm dropping something. Akin for you. That song reminds me of driving through the outskirts of Kagoshima in Japan and heading over to a vending machine that dispensed pancakes. Erasure singles. Sweet, creamy pancakes. I was listening to Erasure at the time and I was driving over and it was not a disappointment, the crepe dispensing vending machine.

Basically what they'd done was they'd made crepes and they'd just sort of jam them into like glass jars and pop them in the vending machine like you would dispense something normally. And bloody delicious. What's the shelf life on that kind of product? No, I think it was a mom and pop operation, to be honest. I don't think anybody,

I don't think they had the chance to go out of date because I think they were being resurfaced. Oh, okay. It's quite popular. You haven't got to worry about it. They're selling like hotcakes. True that. You haven't got to worry about it, they're selling like hotcakes and you haven't got to worry about it Speaking of that the local

corner shop to where we live one of the kind of great things, one of the great unsung things about London corner shops, I guess in New York they have the kind of bodega thing don't they, but in London it's very much like corner shops um is they're quite frankly um laissez-faire attitude towards products going out of date like yeah and the other day i was in one and i bought something and it was for my

five-month-old son by the way right so it's a serious thing ciggies yeah cigarettes right which i thought didn't go out of date. No, I was buying a product that my five-month-old son was going to consume, right. Out of date. Three months. I was like, alright, mate, this is out of date. Oh, is it? Alright, yeah, cheers. I felt like saying to him, you know, I could have fed

that to my son. Yeah. But there's no point. He doesn't care. He's not bothered. Zero waste though, isn't it? Like, I think we're quite lesser fair about our things going off dates, aren't we? Yeah, I think. He doesn't care. He's not bothered. Zero waste though, isn't it? I think we're quite lesser fair about our things going off debts, aren't we? Yeah, I think. Apart from sour cream. So you do,

I remember when I worked at Safeway back in the day, I don't know if it's still the case, but back then you would get a thousand pound fine per item from trading standards if every item they found out a day on the shelf. I could see that, yeah. Yeah, so it can be ruinous for a small business, I suppose. But I think generally speaking,

you've got used by and you've got best before, haven't you? Yeah, definitely. And generally, just give it a sniff. Give it a sniff. Give it a sniff. Trust your senses. Good advice for life generally, actually.

If you're not sure about something, give it a sniff. Give it a sniff. If you are at the end of a long working day, you give yourself a sniff, don't you? And sort of go, have I reached my best before date? Or am I used by?

Is this, do I need to take a shower right now? I had a very, I was walking around an unseasonably warm village in the Cotswolds last week. Because that's the kind of tedious man I am these days. And about mid-afternoon, I was like, oh, fuck, I think I stink. And then I realized I forgot to put deodorant on that morning. Right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The wife I have access to, I said, look, I haven't put deodorant on this morning. And she was like, oh, okay. I don't care. You have already given me a child. No, see what she said? See what she said? Is that what she said? Do not care. Should we just stay outside then?

Should we just stay outside? Let's not go inside anywhere. No, we can't go. Could you not give yourself a little wash in the sink at whatever place you were going to? We're in a village. We're out in a village. Out in a village, right.

What do you mean? What does that mean? What kind of question is that? Take your top off and wash your body in a stream. In a stream. Nice, that'd be good. Actually, there top off and wash your body in a stream. In a stream. Nice, that'd be good. Actually, there was a couple of kids playing in a stream

and it was quite an idyllic scene. Yeah, exactly. Imagine if I just glumped in there, top off, like a really shit tribute to Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice. Yeah. Hello, children.

Just giving myself a wash. Half-eating ice cream in one hand. But anyway, this is the Luke and Pete show thank you very much for tuning in Pete normally does the intro but I've just gone off piece

and thought I'll do it myself well we had about five minutes talking about the who being wrong-uns but before we started recording then we realised your microphone

wasn't selected correctly so what can I say about the who that I won't get in trouble for you know what I want to say what can I say I mean to be fair with that one

band that's an accusation that has been leveled against at least one of their number repeatedly was he convicted oh good this is good this is great he's certainly on the register wasn't he he was on a register he got put on the register i think yes i mean i guess luke shutting down as he furiously i'm fucking googling this because i i a bit about it so I have googled it as is my want and he accepted the caution from the Metropolitan Police an investigation conducted in 2000 2003 and he was on the

sex offenders register for five years beginning in 2003 so that is something that's happened can't deny that yeah and apparently he also plays a mean pinball so i saw a really interesting tweet the other day like about um it was someone who sold bands in this british bands in the 60s and 70s and it was like the beatles you know what what kind of doors of

perception can be opened and one takes lsd and you know uses that to fuel one's creativity and what does it mean for the meaning of humanity. Pink Floyd, all this kind of amazing concept about the passing of time and the meaning of life and all the rest of it. The Who. Wouldn't it be amazing if a deaf and blind kid was really good at pinball? Solid.

That's why they're the sort of band who play the Albert Hall rather than the O2 these days, one would suggest. The Albert Hall's a very... Isn't the Albert Hall not a very kind of... It's not like a feather in your cap? I think so, but I think they seem to play it a lot, don't they? The rest of the politics play it a lot. Do they?

And my dad wrote a porno, played it. Why haven't we played it? I mean, to be fair, there are small rooms in the Albert Hall. The duo Peacock and Gamble played it once. And then, obviously... But isn't Gamble massive? Not 10, 15 years ago when I saw them playing. So the Royal Albert Hall capacity is 5,200 people.

That's a lot of people. A lot of people. It's a fucking great venue. We've done 1,020 times, though, so respect us. venue we've done a thousand twenty times though so respect us most we've done would be what

twelve hundred I think yeah I'm happy with that I'm happy with that I'm happy with being a fifth of the who that's what I'd say which fifth

wait hang on I'm trying to protect myself from that particular comment hey watch that speaking of that kind of caper rock and roll good clean, clean, fun. The Savile sort of documentary with,

it's a documentary, what do you call it? A docudrama. A biopic, isn't it? It's a biopic or something. Biopic. Biopic sounds too grand. Sounds hagiographic. I think, I would say a dramatization.

A dramatization, okay. Coogan's really good. He's really good in it. So loads of people have said that to me. It's a great piece of work, but after a weekend of watching the news as it is, I just had enough, to be honest. I can't be watching this.

It's just fucking, I'm just depressed about it. It's like... It takes a lot for me to be down about stuff, but, you know. Because I think you're permanently down, aren't you? So to move the dial further is tough. To move the dial further. So a lot of people have said to me that they started watching it out of curiosity or whatever,

and then were just so hooked on how good Steve Coogan is in it that they just couldn't stop watching it, which is an amazing testament to him, really. I mean, by the way, I think he's probably one of the more underrated um actors in that kind of stuff like he's um he's had a he's kind of like i don't think it really happened for him obviously in hollywood but he's done enough stuff where you're like he he's good enough to play in a much bigger pool but he obviously yeah finds himself back in

the in the UK pool. I think so. I think the reason he plays that Saville stuff type of thing so well is because he's obviously come out of impressionism, right? So he started out as an impressionist. That was like his thing. And I remember, because I saw him,

oh, I'll tell you what I saw him in a few years ago. I saw him in Stan and Ollie and he was so good in that and I was like Jesus he's actually a really good actor and the way that he all the subtleties that come along with playing Alan Partridge

so good I think with his characters and I think why it lends itself to Savile so well is that his main popular characters have been slightly creepy old outsiders and obviously Savile was the ultimate creepy old outsider

for every part of his world. Would you say so, yeah? I'd say, yeah. The ultimate outsider. The ultimate outsider. The American badass Jimmy Savile. That's quite a good PR of him, isn't it? You could say he was the ultimate outsider the the american badass jimmy saville it's quite a good pr of him isn't it you could say it was the ultimate outsider yeah exactly yeah yeah but you could also say pete he was a convention and norm breaking person as well uh yeah lifelong bachelor

all that all that good stuff but i think um i think you know if you look so the great comparison between like coogan as partridge would be gervais as brent right and i don't shot oh and also and in no way versatile is it no a very much very one i mean it's a great trick it's a fucking great trick but it's really one trick yeah partridge is is if you look at the longevity of how he's adapted the character and how he's got the character to react to like development developments in life generally which just didn't exist when the character first started but still kept it right on the money every single time he's just got such a great understanding and the two writers as well it's the it's the gib I mean it's the gibbons I mean that character was dead like partridge was

dead for the longest time and then the Gibbons joined and could write Partridge better than him and Iannucci and Bain but do you reckon Iannucci just had other stuff to get

on with yeah but I just think the character was done and the Gibbons just know how to just tirelessly write for that

character and that's why we've had so much Partridge and it seems doesn't look like it's slowing anytime soon which is good

yeah I haven't heard the most recent kind of audio stuff. No, no. But I liked the first season from the Oast House as well. I actually, I kind of, I wouldn't say I know him, but I occasionally speak to one of the Gibbons brothers because he's a fan of some of the podcasts we make

and I'd love him to do a show of us, but he fucking won't. He fucking won't. I haven't even got to the stage where i've asked him it's just embarrassing for all of us speaking of speaking of embarrassing for all of us um did you see um you wouldn't have seen this but it's fucking hilarious uh did you watch any of that youtube boxer night on saturday uh i didn't but i've seen some clips um uh It sounded like it was all just a big shame. It's bad. The thing is, the reason I'm laughing

is because I was sitting there. I didn't pay for it. I always pay for boxing on pay-per-view out of principle normally because the boxers are so dedicated and it's dangerous. I think they deserve to be paid, so I will pay them.

Not for that, though. I'm not paying for that. No fucking way. I'll tolerate a lot in the name of entertainment, but I not paying for that. No fucking way. Yeah. I tolerate a lot in the name of entertainment, but I will not tolerate that. But the thing was, people are, because it's such a, what was interesting actually as well, the kind of interesting part of it is that because it's obviously aimed

at young people, their influences, they're obviously basically influencers, right? So a couple of observations for me one is that it was amazing how full the venue was from very very early on

right like people just don't have a concept of like a main event I guess it's not something you always see with boxing either

no definitely not no it takes ages to fill up normally but it's the whole thing was fucking pumping at like 7pm and given that

KSI and Tommy Fury didn't fight until like midnight right it's amazing really but also the second thing was kind of interesting is that like 7pm. And given that KSI and Tommy Fury didn't fight until like midnight, it's amazing really. But also, the second thing that was kind of interesting is that I'd be interested

in how many pay-per-views it did because I just opened TikTok and every single person on TikTok was just having to add the TikTok up to their TV screen.

Streaming it, right. Yeah, so you could just work it on that. I like that bloke who streamed UFC a couple of years ago on Twitch, and he just stood there with his controller pretending he was playing it.

That's brilliant. And he got away with it for the whole match, I think. But I watched the two main event fights, I guess, on TikTok, and the account didn't get shut down at any point. No. Well, these things take a little bit of time, don't they, I suppose. But anyway, it was so, so bad. So bad.

So it did a lot of hugging. It was a points loss. It was just fucking shit. It wasn't even anything approaching what boxing actually is. Right. Do you know what it was like, Donny? It was basically like, imagine if they build Soccer Aid as like a really big, competitive, amazing sporting event

and it had no charity element. That's basically what it is, the boxing equivalent of that. Oh, this is really good. Are they doing this for charity? Nah. I just sort of think, you know, even worse than most boxing crowds, I would suggest if you did a thorough drug search at the O2 or wherever it was, there'd be no one there.

There'd just be no one there. I would say that a big boxing night in London, or Manchester or Birmingham, whatever, I think is the greatest concentration of cheap cocaine anywhere in the world. And I'll include South America in that. Yeah. Honestly, the amount of people shoving like Ajax up their hooter.

Not even bothering to get out of their seats in most cases. No, no, no, no, no, no point. But yes, anyway, that was something that kind of caught my eye over the weekend. And then on Sunday, no, no, no, no. No point. But yes, anyway, that was something that kind of caught my eye over the weekend. And then on Sunday, Pete, I had a little drinky-poo.

He was my friend. Oh, that's nice. You had a lovely weekend then. That sounds brilliant. Didn't do any of the chores I was supposed to do. What were your chores? Old baby-related chores.

I'm normally really good at doing it. I'm normally really diligent. But a friend of mine was in town. He's in the US normally and I hadn't seen him for ages. So I was like, we're going to go for a few beers. And yeah, so then things went in a Donaldson direction, I would say. I'm not

sure that's particularly fair because I was absolutely fine until Saturday night and then the neighbour was having her 50th. Oh yeah? Car keys in the bowl, was it? I had too many drinks and then the next day I had to get up

to come play and goal for football ship four goals in 15 minutes not a great start to the

match how many of them were your fault I'd say one of them I'm only little the guy did

chip me so positioning height just all the good stuff but did you wet

yourself at their house I didn't wet yourself at their house? I didn't wet myself at their house. Did you embarrass yourself at any point? Did you have to feel it the next morning? I'd spent Saturday. I reacted with incredulity that my other neighbour, Neil, didn't know that I had a radio career of some repute. Fuming, fuming.

How long have you been a neighbour of his? Yeah, I just thought he did podcasts. I was like, I met Sarah at the radio. Yeah, but you were just one of the geeks of Stan outside,

weren't you? Exactly. Didn't get a 4x3. 4x3? No. What's the headshots that people get? Because I remember

when I used to leave the building in Wongolden Square, there would always be people waiting outside. Is it Patsy Kensett? Who was the one who was in... Yes, it was.

Patsy Kensett, I think, did a show. Maybe. I think it was Patsy Kensett. Anyway, one of the other radio stations. And once you came out, there would always be blokes waiting outside to get things signed. But they were like glamour shots from the 70s or 80s,

like her in a bikini when she was quite young and it's just a bit like why are you getting them signed you absolute creep wasn't she like a bit of a she was like a in the 80s wasn't it she was like a young a model I think

it was just really creepy but is there an element of the commercial radio fan local radio fan crowd that are a bit weird I mean you don't want to say that you don't want to answer do you there's a lot of why there's a lot

of words there that every part of that is depressing commercial radio fans I mean who the hell gives a toss but people are though aren't they I think you are remembering a bygone era even for you I think I mean, who the hell gives a toss? But people are, though, aren't they? I think you are remembering a bygone era, even for you, I think, I would say. Nobody gives a shit about radio.

So, look, when I was at uni... Nobody gives a shit about anything, I would say. When I was at uni the first time around, there were people there, and I did a few radio modules, there were people there who were so into commercial radio, it was unbelievable. They had their own names, they had their own voices, they knew they wanted to host the breakfast show on Eagle FM or whatever.

That was their path. And one of them used to spend the break time between lectures reporting pirate radio stations to the radio authority. Nice, like it. Because he was like, well, they've not got a license. They shouldn't be doing it. They shouldn't be doing this.

Yeah. So there are people out there like that. Well, there was then anyway. Yeah, there will be people who still like that sort of thing. I would say that, like, surely they should just hand over FM licenses to anybody who wants them nowadays because nobody has FM radio.

So we should be able to just fill the airwaves with FM. We should just broadcast the Luke and Pete show on FM. That'd be so good. The entire radio station. That'd be so good. That reminds me again, to come back full circle of that Alan Partridge mid-morning, no, this time episode,

where Alan Partridge goes to investigate chem sex parties, and he just makes that guy's really into local radio, starts talking about FM licenses and stuff. A lovely moment, that. Yeah, that was moment that and they just wake up on a heath yeah that's right that's right

that's why I leave you to do the news on the hour it's just so funny Peter let's have a quick break when we come back I've got an email

here from someone who was at a Ricky Lambert fronted protest in Liverpool lovely stuff excited for that we'll see you

Fido. At your side. We're back with Luca Piccio and we are back with big news about a big protest in the city of culture. 2012, was it? Liverpool. Would they have done that to Liverpool in 2012

when we had the Olympics there? Might have been earlier. 2009, maybe? I can't remember. They kind of share them around a little bit. It was 2008, apparently. 2008. Yeah, it was crowned as the 2008 Capital of Culture

as a recognition of the economic and cultural renaissance the city has undergone since the decline of traditional industries by which I mean since the fucking Tories and the Thatcher completely fucked them. Didn't they take away their classification as like a heritage site or something

quite recently because of Everton's stadium is that bad. Oh, really? Because that part of the port is, I think, designated as a world site of heritage or something like that. And because Everton have decided to take up so much of it for their stadium,

they've taken it away. I don't think it's World Heritage. Of course, it's not UNESCO. It is World Heritage. It is. Is it World Heritage? Yeah, I just looked it up for you, mate, while you were talking there. And you're spot on. UNESCO strips Liverpool of its World Heritage of course, it's not UNESCO. It is World Heritage. It is. Is it World Heritage? Yeah, I just looked it up for you, mate, while you were talking there

and you're spot on. UNESCO strips Liverpool of its World Heritage status. That's a big bit of, like, that's a big own goal, isn't it?

Yeah. If you're Evan, you're like, yeah, thanks for that, Evan, but you have destroyed our UNESCO World Heritage

status, which is amazing. Yeah, because apparently there's been an irreversible loss of the historic value of its Victorian docks. Pete, that's really good. How doversible loss of the historic value of its Victorian docks.

Pete, that's really good. How do you remember that stuff? You can't remember your fucking breakfast. I just like it when

Everton fail at things. It's amusing to me. They're the little club that tries, I'm afraid. Sorry, Everton fans. People come to this

show for a respite from that. I'm wearing a Marcus Feller t-shirt. What do you want me to say? Oh, yeah, you are. Listen, I don't really like it when people talk about their attire

on radio shows and podcasts. That's all you do. No. That's your full banter calendar. Monday, talk about someone's clothes because you're a frustrated footballer. You just want to talk about what car people are driving and what clothes, what drift they're coming in with. Someone's committed several car-related crimes on this show, and it's and it's not me it's not that's all i talk about these days

i'll just go about my business i'll need a new car go and get one and get on with it don't tell anyone yeah and then you you come into my house and frankly not being able to get over the fact that in your words your car is so long so long oh, is that why I got a long car as well? I think it was, because I think a couple of weeks later you went and got one. It could be related. It definitely could be related. I just want a nice long car, Luke. I think I deserve a nice long car.

It's a metaphor, isn't it? Anyway, so, oh, Rory's just put in the run on the order, Pete. Producer Rory's just put in the run on the order. We've got to do batteries. Got to do batteries. That's fine. We haven't forgotten batteries, Rory. Rory, we've got loads of time, mate.

Don't worry about it. Rory, you haven't got a microphone to defend yourself, mate, but we're across it. We're across it, mate. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Rory. Time is against us.

I've got to get to the... Rory. Scott. Wanker. Wanker. You go, Pete. Do your batteries first, then we'll do Ricky Lambert, as promised.

I do want to do a bit more chat about the city of Liverpool because I want to see how much trouble you can get yourself in. But we'll do batteries for now, will we? All right, Scott. Scott has got in touch. Eventually found some potential new players after replacing batteries found in a knock-off Transformer car my son got for his third birthday.

No mirror readily available, I'm afraid. It's a Hua Huang. I think we might have had Hua Huangs before, but it's a very pleasing word to say. Yeah. And also a very pleasing, straight down the line, to the point logo. So we praised one of our listeners last week

for putting a mirror behind the battery so we could see the battery in its entirety. Mirror with the battery! Yeah, nice. That was actually quite good. Thank you. Can you follow it up? No, I think somebody did.

Were Operation Ivy back together for one weekend only, doing a tribute show to the bloke from the specials? Yes. He died quite recently, that handsome man. I don't really know who Operation Ivy are. It is one of the founding members of Rancid, and they sort of did. I mean, they did like one album

and you know people get very excited about it but you go back and listen to that music and it's it's not ideal is it better than

An Outcome The Walls nothing's better than An Outcome The Walls no it's just great yeah fair enough almost perfect album that goes on for too long

so Operation yeah that's every album healthy body sick minds that's one of. Healthy body, sick minds. That's one of theirs and they did a song... Oh, no, is it on Time Bomb? What was it?

I can't remember. No, Time Bomb is the old 97, isn't it? Time Bomb is rancid. Got a time bomb in my mind, mom. Classic. What is that? Time Bomb. It's a classic tune.

It's a band called the old 97. No, Rancid did a song called Time Bomb. Oh, okay. Bang it. it's a band called The Old 97 no Ransom did a song called Time Bomb oh okay this is their biggest single I think so interesting there's a brilliant tune by a band called

The Old 97 right right called Time Bomb right okay and you should fucking listen to it unless I'm completely

missing it and it's a it's a remake of or a cover but it's not is it because the one you've just sung is completely different no I'm completely missing it and it's a it's a remake of or a cover but it's not is it because the one you've just sung is completely different no

I'm going to send you Old 97's Time Bomb because you'll absolutely love it it's right up your street fine they're like a kind of I'd say like a punk a pop punk band

from like the late 90s Bombshell I'm thinking of Bombshell not Time Bomb for fuck's sake Donaldson for fuck's sake anyway what were we saying

Hua Huang thank you thank you Scott Huaott is this been going on oh good uh scott you're the second person to send in hua wong after our friend michael freel sent them in back all the way back in august of, he was emailing us about the original sleeve for the Blue Monday single by New Order. That's okay, fair. And he was talking about different albums being put out and then obviously being sold at a loss

because they had different designs on them. Michael also referenced the Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers in the sleeve, which has got a working kind of zip on the front of a pair of jeans. I actually own that record with the original zipper. I don't know if it's worth anything, but anyway,

he's sitting in while I'm on batteries. So you're the second person to send him in, Scott, but thank you very much for getting in touch. Right, okay. Lovely stuff. We have got one from Keegan.

Hello, Keegan. How's it, lads? Big for the Ramble and more recently, the Luke and Pete show. First time emailing in. I'm a South African living in South Australia

and I have been keeping my eye out for potential new battery brands. I have two batteries for you this week, which I'm pretty sure you've not mentioned on the pod. I've recently joined the police service in Adelaide. Sorry, Luke.

I know your opinion toward the man. I have found this bad boy in an old operational police torch. I present to you Wolf Eyes. That's amazing. Wolf Eyes.

Great name. Very chunky. I can't figure out what form factor that battery is. What do you mean? Well, it looks too big to be a double A.

Yeah, it's a chunker. Unless Keegan has lovely dainty fingers, it's exciting. The second battery is from a flashing musical unicorn bubble machine. Yes, it is as annoying as it sounds. I bought for my daughter at the famous Royal Adelaide show that comes around once a year. Which I feel is right up Pete's alley, by the way.

After the batteries inevitably died a few days later, when replacing them, I found three judos inside. Fingers crossed, judos and wolf eyes have not been sent in before. Thank you very much for this, Keegan. Judo have been sent in before. Keegan, you are the 11th person to send in judos. So that's that one out of the way.

But wolf eyes, we've never seen before. That's a new player. And I cannot believe there's a battery brand there called Wolf Eyes. It's fucking great. Isn't it so good? I'm trying to think of, there's got to be a Wolf Eyes. I'm trying to think of a Wolf Eyes song, but I can't seem to. There probably have been a lot of songs about wolves and their eyes.

But I can't, I can remember the band Wolf Parade. There is a band called wolf eyes and they're very difficult to listen to okay good good it's like experimental stuff basically gross so they they they like noise rock it's that kind of stuff you know you'd go to like an atp mate and there'd be a certain amount of bands there and everyone would pretend to like them they're the ones that you're waiting to see I don't know Boris or the Walkman and they're the ones who were on before. Yeah. So

yeah so I mean I don't know any of their songs I couldn't sing you one which is a relief to everyone but anyway Wolf Eyes are a new player so congratulations to you

Keegan thanks for sending those in. Who have we got last but not least Peter? Finally for now Joe from Salford Hi there Luke and the Pete on my recent trip to Germany to visit old friends

and watch some Champions League games, I've sourced a new entry for the B-Daddy. Jeden Tag. Jeden Tag. J-E-D-E-N Tag. Going back to the Berlin club life chat, queues to get into normal clubs are insanely long. Going to Bergen now is really only the sort of thing

that tourists and regulars from the vibes I got from friends living there. So I would say it's a complete waste of time unless you know someone. So you can't basically get into Bergen if you want to get into Bergen, which is sad to see, to be quite frank. Our friend Ryan from Stadio,

he used to DJ Bergen all the time. Right, okay, nice. And I'm sure he would have let me go if I wanted but I'd never wanted to so I just did it never wanted

I chose not to there's nothing in that for me I don't want to be in a fucking nightclub at four in the morning I want to be in bed I know you

but you wouldn't be saying that 20 years ago would you well I didn't know him 20 years ago ah good point yeah what am I doing

would you not want to have a little look around check out the fire exits I don't know just have a little the fire exits? I don't know, just have a little, what's going on? I don't know really. I don't think anything good's ever happened to me after like 4am. No. It's a new day then, isn't it?

Has anything good happened? Before 4am, not really. I'm a big fan of the 6am these days. I very much enjoy getting up nice and early. Oh, yeah. Well, I don't have a choice in that these days, obviously, as a fairly new dad. But the last three mornings,

my son's got me up early. I mean, not compared to some. He's a very good sleeper generally. And it's actually been a pleasure because it's been very crisp. Yes, beautiful, crisp blue sky. Getting him in his like kind of onesie in his suit so he's nice and warm wrapping up warm and walking to the coffee shop literally as it opens and getting a nice cup of tea and having a wander around the park it's lovely that time in the morning that's much

more preferable for me but then i'm 43 years old so what do you expect anyway um joe who sent jade and tag um you are the second person to send those in um our friend christoph sent those in um from germany as well uh back in january of 2020 uh just just before um before covid i suppose he also gave us a very intellectual uh lesson about um fictional works with different endings taking in all sorts of various examples but yeah so good on you Christophe you were the first person to send the Jaden tag commiserations

to you Joe but thanks for playing the game we reward all competitors here because we're very very happy to hear from them before we go let me just squeeze this Ricky Lambert email in Peter as promised to hear from them. Before we go, let me just squeeze this Ricky Lambert email in, Peter. Yeah. As promised,

before Rory Crawley tried to stop us, David Humphries has been in touch. So should I give people a quick bit of background? Yeah, yeah. It's quicker the better, but yeah, definitely.

All right. I'm just saying. Okay. Ricky Lambert's mad. That's it. All right. Is that all you need? Yeah, that's all we need.

And he tried to lead a protest at Liverpool Town Hall about 15-minute cities. Yeah. Because he thinks that people are going to be fined for leaving their zone. He does, doesn't he? Do you just think he's like a frustrated sci-fi writer? He could have gone either way.

I don't think he's a writer. I don't think he's much of a writer, to be honest. But he, I mean, there was a really interesting article about him on The Athletic. For those of you listening who've got a subscription, trying to explain how he's come to this issue, how some footballers are particularly susceptible to a massive distrust of authority,

which lends it to this kind of thing. And it's worth reading. It'd give you a much better background than I could. But anyway, he led this protest at Liverpool Town Hall. David Humphrey's been in touch. Thank you, David, for getting in touch. He says, hi, lads, hope you're well. Longtime listener and twice successful battery contributor.

Currently eyeing up a third, but that's a story for another time. But I was listening with interest to Luke mentioning the 15-minute city protests at Liverpool Town Hall. In a recent episode, as I was actually there, I'm a local democracy reporter for the Liverpool Echo, meaning I cover all kinds

of city council business. As a result... A democracy reporter? Yeah. Now that sounds like something that you would see in a Judge Dredd film or something. That sounds like something

that as a job would have been a position made redundant 10 years ago with what's happening with local news. So congratulations to you, David. The one town in which you're allowed to still do it. For fighting a good fight.

David says to sum it up quickly, it was absolutely mad. Lambert turned up late, posed for pictures with a weird Canadian who has been arrested for sending death threats and anti-Semitism, as well as a council candidate who used a video to call me David Humperdinck. I've attached the links to various stories i've done on this sadly it doesn't include the time i was called an enemy of the people but i have included the screenshot of me from one of their batshit videos where they said i was reporting lies love to the family david um so david's actually on the front line of this peter yeah i mean he's fighting the good fight business lanyard is reporting lanyard he may as well just have one of those hats with a little card in it saying press. Yeah, that would be great.

And what David's done there is a fatal error, isn't it, in this kind of thing? Because what he's done is actually reported quite responsibly what's actually happening. Yeah. Which people of that persuasion don't really like very much, do they? persuasion don't really like very much. Because when a mirror like a great battery brand from Luke and Pete Shaw's past gets held up to a lot

of these protests, I think even the protesters go we don't we look quite discordant and chaotic. Can we get back home for bargain hunt? If you're at a protest where nine times out of ten someone's got a tinny on the go, it's never a good protest, is it?

I think that's judgmental. I think that's what makes it a good protest. A bad protest is if people got a set of Marks and Spencer olives on the go or something. Right, okay, fair. Listen, if you're going to do it, do it properly. Get stuck in. Get stuck in, have a can.

Get six dollars. But the thing they complain like i kind of when i was at the uh when i was at my um neighbor's 50th um she did buy in uh tisky's just for me that is lovely it's a it's a lovely but a low blow emotionally i think i think it's a dig yeah it's like one of those things at the same time is like this is a really thoughtful thing but you're also passing quite a lot of judgment on my character there. My neighbour was saying to me yesterday

that he was at a family party, right? And there was a massive row between two of his wife's uncles because one of the uncles turned up to the other uncle's house, which is where the party was, with six beers. Obviously, bring

a bottle, bring a beer, whatever. Put them in the utility room. Then spent the whole party drinking other beers. And then when he left, he took the six beers back with him. And the uncle whose party was chasing him down the street. Fucking give him back.

It's pretty unedifying. Yeah, it is. Man's got to have a code a man's got to have principles on that delicate note let's get out of here Peter tell the people

when we'll be back tell them when they're going to hear from us next oh when they least expect it as long as that is very much Monday morning at 5.30

or whenever this show gets released so check us out in your in your Apple podcasts or your Spotify or your Amaz's or however you listen to podcasts What do you use at the moment?

I flitter skittishly between Spotify and Google podcasts so sometimes I'll flirt with YouTube but I'm not watching the video because quite frankly most of the podcasters I like are horrific to look at

Guilty I like are horrific to look at. Guilty. Guilty. I like Spotify as a user interface. Yes. Not a massive fan of them as a company, but I like the interface. It's good. I've got that slicked out very well.

And I occasionally listen on Overcast as well. Overcast. Yeah, that's always one of those kind of fringe concerns with me, Overcast. That's enough about Ricky Lambert. I reckon Ricky Lambert listens on Overcast for sure. Oh, he did.

It was Overcast. He'd blimp chemtrails. All right, then. Let's get out of here. We'll be back on Monday. I reckon he uses Signal all the time. See ya. the luke and pete show is a stack Production and part of the Acast Creator Network.
