Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Luke and Pete Shoppe, Pete Donaldson joining Mr. Lukey Moe with you. Lukey, if I invited you to my private island to perpetrate terrible crimes, just because of the due time. We're starting like this, Moe. We're starting like this. Just due to my terrible admin, I think you'd be alright to be honest. I wouldn't be keeping lists, because I don't keep lists in any part of my life, so there we go. You'd be fine. You'd get off scot-free.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Where do you want me to go with that? It's all anyone's talking about. Where do you think I can go with that opening? No, it's a good point actually. I don't think you'd ever get on a plane that I hired personally. No, I think if we had any kind of work or pleasure trip arranged, and you were doing it, I would probably want assurances that other people were underpinning it. Yeah, I'd want flight records of the pilots. I'd be on the flight seat, one of those jump seats on standby for two days. Probably.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah. That's what I'd probably do. That's how you used to travel. That is genuinely how you used to travel, isn't it? Yeah. I was on my mates friends and family on British Airways and it was the best two years of my life. I could just sort of get a last minute flight anywhere.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Business class to Tokyo from London, 400 quid. Oh, thank you very much. Best two years of your life. Haven't you been a parent for two years? The best two years of my life. I stand by it. I stand by it. All right. So you've been, you've been, you've been seduced. It's probably the wrong word. You've been interested in the developments in the Epstein case, have you? Is there any developments? Just a lot of misdirection, isn't there really? What I find is that if people are into conspiracies and you use those people as your, essentially,
Starting point is 00:01:58 your political base, don't be surprised if their insatiable appetite for conspiracies is never satisfied. Because there'll always be a conspiracy to explain it, won't there? But then you just sort of think that they won't accept the conspiracy that, well, Donald was only travelling to that private island because he wanted to unearth, he wanted to expose him. He wanted to get him in trouble. The only reason why he was on those flight logs of the Leiter Express, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:02:28 There's no suggestion that he was on the flight logs, is there? The suggestion is that he's flown on the plane loads of times, yeah. That's not up for... I don't think there's any confirmation that he's been to the island, but he's certainly been on his flight logs. On the conspiracy side of things, it's like when those flat earthers got shown in no uncertain terms by provable science that the earth couldn't be flat unless Australia didn't exist. Guess which one they went with? Will Barron Yeah, they always go... Masonry Well, Australia's done. I've never been there,
Starting point is 00:02:59 so it doesn't exist. Will Barron That's good stuff, isn't it? I do love a conspiracy theory when it's not ruining things. Do you sometimes think it would be quite a good life? Oh, massively. You haven't got to worry about anything. I can't remember who said that there's stupid people who are having a good life and there's clever people who are having a really difficult life. Oh yeah, exactly. The people in the middle of the worst. Just enough. a good life and there's clever people who are having a really difficult life.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Oh yeah, exactly. The people in the middle of the worst. Just enough. Yeah. Just enough to inquire, thicken. I always find that with my health, I worry about my health quite a lot. And it's because I am not completely stupid. If I was completely stupid, I wouldn't care. But I've just got enough about me to worry about things.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And yeah, I think that's probably a good, that's an accurate position. but I've just got enough about me to worry about things. Mason I completely agree. It's terrible. I mean, we could have a lot more going badly in our lives, but you know. Mason They used to be ironed. Mason every day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chris Broad does that. He's, uh, he's got black t-shirt. He just always got black t-shirt on. I was like, I'm just going to do that. I did on my last holiday, I bought four white t-shirts, four blue t-shirts, and that's all I had with me. I think that's, I think that's fun. Cause what I don't want to do, I sometimes see people, friends or people are just knocking around who are older than me, who still dress in like clothes with writing on them, you know, kind of like band t-shirts, stuff like that. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And that's not for me. I'm not judging them, like you are at the moment, exactly. I'm not judging them, but I'm just for me, I need to keep it plain because I can't be asked to make a decision. Yeah, yeah. What does this say about me? What does this t-shirt say about me? Yeah, but you've gone full like Patagonia kind of hiking clothes, haven't you? Yeah, basically. Yeah. Summer is just plain t-shirts and a selection of shorts from Reese, which are, you know, understated, but nice fitting and comfortable.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Winter is goose downs. Goosey, goosey feathers. I actually saw in my, I was looking in my wardrobe the other day, I was like, why have I not got any room in here? Like what is happening? Why can I not fit anything in it? And I had 24 jumpers. You do love a little bit of a hole. I've got like, I don't know how I've kind of collected them all. I guess I just must be very inefficient at
Starting point is 00:06:05 getting rid of them. But in the winter, I think for me, tall, big guy, I think it's, winter's better suited to me. Yeah. Yeah. Time to close things. You like your hazelnut lattes, don't you? You like your maple lattes that you have. Eggnog lattes. I do love an eggnog latte. Where would I get an eggnog latte right now? I don't drink coffee, so I don't know where you've got that from. All right, try latte then. Have you never, have you never, see you just don't enjoy lattes.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Do you remember that kind of period of time? You probably don't remember this. There was a period of time where you and I would go semi-regularly for meetings in town in person before Covid and you kept buying me coffees. Right, Okay. No, don't remember that. It was a nice thing to do. And it would be like, we turn up near Christmas and go for a meeting somewhere external and I'd meet you at an agreed point and you'd always have like a, you know, a gingerbread latte for me or, or, and it's kind of you. To think of it as a dessert. If it's got gingerbread in it, it's not going to taste overtly of coffee, is it? It's going to taste more of gingerbread. Every time it's the same process. I'm saying I'm
Starting point is 00:07:08 grateful now, but it'd just be, look, Pete, I don't like coffee. And you'd be like, all right, chuck it away then. I'll just chuck it away. And that was it. Until the next time. All right. I'll just throw it in the face of a homeless man, shall I? Disgusting. You're the worst. There's only one person who sounds bad here and it's not me. I'm afraid it's you. I'm fully accepting the fact this reflects bad. I'm fully happy. me. I'm fully happy with that. But you're a generous man to a fault and that was a fault. I've been listening to a lot of, you know my usual kind of YouTube sort of plumbing is watching clever pilots talk about disasters.
Starting point is 00:07:43 And obviously the preliminary part of that India flight, obviously came in quite recently. Yeah, the fuel lines got cut or something, didn't they? The fuel lines got cut and I mean, just the, I mean, that will go down. Obviously nobody knows what went on. I think the focus will be on the mental health of the pilots because it's not an easy thing
Starting point is 00:08:02 to disengage the old fuel line things from what I've seen. Oh, so it wasn't a fault then? I think most pilots and non-conspiracy theorists and non-anti-Boeing lobbyists are probably aiming more towards the one of the pilots did it. I think that's the inference anyway. And just the way that he said, why did you turn the fuel lines off? He said, I didn't. And it's just like, I didn't is just a really interesting bit of the flight log. And there's no other kind of chat. And then they do a media call. And then nothing else is kind of revealed about what was said, obviously, because it's always an
Starting point is 00:08:40 emotional thing when a plane goes down like that. And I'm just enjoying the way that a lot of these, you know, mentor pilots, a lot of the American ones, they are spending a lot of time doing like live YouTube things because it's, I mean, it's just, it's a big story. And I think even the most kind of reserve pilots are sort of going, I can get some listeners out of this, I can get some viewers out of this. It's a sad situation, but it's, I think the more experts you have in this space make people who are a bit nervous about flying, it makes the world better for them I think if you've got someone who knows what they're talking about, who have flown these planes before, who can show you on simulators about where these buttons are and how difficult
Starting point is 00:09:18 it would be to do the thing that you know. So you've been watching these videos a lot have you? I've been watching a lot of them. I've watched about five or six different pilots sort of saying, sort of doing like open floor kind of town halls with their fan base and, you know, just passing YouTube commenters who are obviously, who are frequently on Hinched. No matter how many times, no matter how many times the pilot says, look, if I was going to put my money somewhere, and this is not the game we're in, but if we're going to put my money somewhere, I would say there was pilot intervention in there
Starting point is 00:09:46 and not an automated thing that the plane did. And about two seconds after that, somebody's going, it's a Boeing though, I think the Boeing plane probably broke and had turned the fuel lines off. It's going, yeah, it doesn't really go like that though, it's just hard to do that. And it wouldn't happen both engines at the same time and all this stuff. And they're going, yeah, but boy, isn't it? It's just really funny. And what were you and what was your contribution to this?
Starting point is 00:10:16 Tapping away going, release the flight logs for the noted sex offender. You're tapping away going. Any deals on return flights to Vegas? Any deal? Got any discount codes? Pilot, mentor, pilot, could I go on a jump seat to Tokyo please? It is a weird part of modern life. I will not turn the fuel lines off. I will not run in and turn the fuel lines off. Will not. It's a weird part of modern life that this stuff happens and it's like instant, right? So there'll be someone out there presumably who's a pilot, who's I guess a kind of YouTuber
Starting point is 00:10:54 who will be like, right, straight away. He's like, right, I'll need to do a video now. Yeah. And then we make money off it, right? So it's a little bit ghoulish, isn't it? Yes, it is a little bit ghoulish. I think, yeah, but I think that's the game you're in though, isn't it? If you're explaining disasters at the end of the day a disaster a lot of people lost their lives there and in every disaster so I mean there's a there's a bit of a trade-off but the the pilots could quite accurately say I think that they're making the world better because they're explaining to people that these things don't happen by by accident these
Starting point is 00:11:22 things you know it's a lot of things have to go wrong for a plane to go down, but it's bloody fascinating how a report like that gets put together. We won't see the final report for a year and a half or something, but the preliminary report is still very fascinating. Mason- Yeah. I mean, it is undeniably interesting. I like that guy. Have you seen that guy on Instagram, AirplaneFactsWithMax? Mason Eames I've not seen AirplaneFactsWithMax. Jason Vale He's good, man. He basically does, it's funny because his thing is he's massively into Lord of the Rings. So he'll teach people about planes. He's a plane aircraft engineer.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Mason Eames Oh, he's an engineer. Yes, I have seen him. Yeah. Jason Vale And he uses like metaphors of Lord of the Rings stuff. But what he does do, which is really good is like he gets videos sent to him of people who are like, oh, I'm on a plane and this thing's flapping off. Am I going to die? And he'll explain, no, actually that's just an aesthetic part of the fuselage. It doesn't matter. Oh, my plane's held together with tape. Well, yeah, that's speed tape. Because we talked about speed tape before, right? So I think we got sent some didn't we? And then I cut my hand with it. Very sharp. Yeah, it's very sharp, wasn't it? Very sharp tape.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Where did that tape go? It's not in my house. Usually when people have thrown stuff out, it ends up in my cabin. It was about, it was over five years ago. So I don't know where a roll of tape is from over five years ago. Maybe I'll find it on the roof of the studio. I'm going to have to tear down soon. We're moving off to it, so it'll probably turn up, won't it? Yeah. I've got a lot. There's a lot of demolition going to have to take place. I'm less concerned or interested even with the construction, the other side of things, but taking down a studio is going to be my job. Looking forward to it. Can't wait. Can't wait.
Starting point is 00:13:02 You can put your foot through a roof and no one will complain. True. True that. True that. On that kind of ghoulish nature of that content you're talking about there, I can just remember when Diego Jota sadly passed away a few weeks ago. And the first thing I was doing with the team was like, right, we're doing shows, we've got to do this content. We can't, we don't want to make money off of this tragedy. So we're not going to be submitting, you know, um, adverts on air. We're not going to do this. We're not going to do that. And then, cause that's the right thing to do. I just think it's some, it's just awful. And I just think to myself, and then you see all the content that goes out elsewhere and you think, you know what? Fucking no one cares. If we don't do it in AI, I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Yeah. I think the people kind of have that kind of, it's kind of a headgump. It's important to us to be decent about things though. Yeah, it is. Less important as we get older, I find. Why is it less important? Because you can't be asked. I've got some respect.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I've got a family, mate. I've got a family. I'll do anything. I will do anything. Have you got less respect for the world around you because you're now a family man? Yeah. I've seen, I've seen the, look, we can do the right thing. No one fucking else is. That's what I mean. They'll do anything. They'll do anything to get away with murder. No, you're not rewarded for doing the right thing, are you?
Starting point is 00:14:20 No. Oh God. Although the joy that we have between us Pete is its own reward isn't it? It is yeah, work is its own reward as they say. By the way I just polished off a, just literally a couple minutes late for our recording today because I just polished off a wagon wheel and I was thinking to myself. Why have you got wagon wheels in your house? That's such a weird thing for a 44 year old man to have in his house. Bit of chocolate come out. I'll tell you why because we've got my brother-in-law visiting at the moment from
Starting point is 00:14:48 the US. Oh, you're getting lots of classic British. Yeah, he always are. Everyone who comes here from the US asks for our... Suet. Yeah, our stuff. He's going back to that and that's taken him to supermarket yesterday to buy up a load of chocolate that is actually edible. Good point actually. Yeah. What did he go for? What's the kind of... He went for a lot of Cadbury stuff, which has actually gone downhill since, ironically, since Americans got involved in it. I won't fuck with a cream egg anymore. But he also wants some Tonys. Yeah, Tonys is really good, but I thought that was American Tonys Chocolonies. No, that's Dutch apparently. Is it?
Starting point is 00:15:26 Yeah. Right, okay. Tony's is... I mean, if I was going to... And it's strange that, because if I was going to call out a country for having the worst cuisine in the world, I would probably say Holland. I know the Belgians do good chocolates, so maybe there's kind of a crossover in the chocolate side of things. What's a quintessentially Netherlands dish though? It's really bland stuff like Edam. It's like cheese though isn't it? Plain pancakes. Yeah, they're a bit, they sort of say for British English speakers, the Dutch language
Starting point is 00:16:10 is probably the closest or the easiest to learn. Oh really? I thought it was Spanish. Apparently, apparently it's Dutch. But the, or Flemish, the food is very British, isn't it? It's very like meat and potatoes and sprouts and stuff, isn't it? It's very like meat and potatoes and sprouts and stuff, isn't it? Turkey pie. Mason- According to the FSI language difficulty ranking, I'm just looking it up,
Starting point is 00:16:35 Dutch is in category one, which is the easiest. Do you want to hear what's in the easiest category? Will Barron Easy category. Will Barron Some surprising ones in there. Will Barron Hmm. Dutch? Sorry, Spanish. Will Barron What did you say? Will Barron Spanish? Were they believing? Will Barron Yeah, Spanish is in there. So Afrikaans is in there. Will Barron Is Afrikaans? I don't know what for Afrikaans. Is that like a kind of a mix? Will Barron It's a combination of Dutch and English, isn't it? Like they speak in South Africa. So basically Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, French, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Will Barron Romanian surprises me. Will Barron Yeah. Will Barron So, yeah. Will Barron So, yeah. Will Barron So, yeah. Will Barron So, yeah. Will Barron So, yeah. Will Barron So,, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. So basically Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, French, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish. Romanian surprises me. Same.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Going all the way down to the toughest ones. The toughest five. Toughest like Russian, Chinese ones. Apparently it's Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean. Japanese surprises me. Russians in category four, which is the second hardest one. Russians are very difficult. But I'm always surprised Germans kind of in the mid, like just behind,
Starting point is 00:17:32 not quite in Russian section, but Germans, Germans, the German language is very difficult. So Sarah speak good German and it's always very alluring. Sarah, Sarah speak good German. Sarah speak good German and it's always very alluring. Sarah speak good German? Sarah speak good German and it's very impressive. How far did you get with your Japanese? I think because of time and difficulty, I just stopped. Lack of intelligence, lack of memory I think is a big one as well.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I'm happy knowing my holiday Japanese. Where's this? What's this? Hot, cold. Can I have a beer please? Yeah, that's all you need. Another menu. Where's the toilet? I'm happy with all of those. Say where's the toilet? Toilet is where? Nice. It's the toilet. It was just toilet. We're going to have a lot of language. We're going to be short on the languages now Andy's left to ramble. I know. We're in big trouble, aren't we? How many can Andy do do you reckon? Well, because between us, between us as a group, we could speak... Marcus does a bit of Spanish, doesn't he?
Starting point is 00:18:46 Well, we could do English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Turkish, French. Bit of Japanese. Do you say Japanese? Bit of Japanese. I mean, are you claiming that? I mean, I'd say my Japanese is about as good as Marcus's Spanish. And I'm going to... I mean, I'd say my Japanese is about as good as Marcus's Spanish. And I will go... I don't think... I mean, Marcus hasn't been to a Spanish-speaking country for any length of time, for like 20 years. Exactly. So that's exactly what my Japanese is. Terrible. Okay. So basically we can do five languages and Andy's all of them.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Yeah. Let me put it this way. I've only ever seen one of us reading a newspaper in a different language and it was Andy. How did you? I could read it. I could read the words, but knowing what they are is the big struggle, I guess. I don't think you could. What? I could read out a... Give me a language and I'll read it out. I don't think you could do the pronunciation in French.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I reckon I could. French, what's the big French newspaper? Le Monde. The Day. No, The World. See, great French. Monde. Front page.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Famous thing, the word day in French. Le Monde in English. I don't want it in English. No, that's the opposite of what you want. I want it in French for cra- yeah, okay. François Béroud Devay, Reveilleur, Mardi 15 Julli, Les Orientations, Budgetaires, Budgetaires qui pourraient permettre de réaliser, dureuses économies. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:20:24 Perfect! I don't know what you just said. I don't know what you just said. I know what you just said. I'd like to hear from Dutch people about their cuisine. Thierry Addison, animator, producteur and grand provocateur. I'd like to hear French people from French people demanding an apology from Peter for that. Okay. Yeah. That's what I'd like to hear from. I did a video. I did a five-minute video entirely in French. Did you? For an Abroad Japan project. I was reading off a,
Starting point is 00:20:51 I wore sunglasses and I was reading off a screen, but it doesn't matter. I got good reviews for that. What, more better reviews than you did for that video game? Yeah, one of the commenters came back this week and said, just started giving me pelters, said that I couldn't get it up, that's why I adopted. Just started. I mean, that is outrageous. What an outrageous thing to say.
Starting point is 00:21:15 It keeps coming back and giving me more, I'm like, whoa, that's strong. Even for me, that is strong, isn't it? Do you feel upset about that? Can't get, no, just look at my flaccid penis now. I'm crying. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Um, uh, shall we take a short break?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Cause you've got some emails to bloody read out for crying out. Yeah, let's do that. We'll come back and we'll do some emails. I've got a few here. Alright, darling. Come back in a second. It's the Luke and Pete show. And we're back with bloody emails. We promised you we were going to get through some of my
Starting point is 00:21:42 bloody emails and we're telling you what, we're going to bloody do it. We're going to bloody do it, you know? Mason Yeah. Do you want me to do it? Jason Yeah. Let's give it both barrels, please. Mason Alright. Okay. Here we go. Okay. This is from Kieran, who I've got an actual neighbor called Kieran and my son inexplicably loves him. Not because he's
Starting point is 00:22:02 not a good guy, but just because he never sees him. Every time he sees him, he gets excited. Yeah. Kieran just goes back in his house. My son would just go more Kieran, more Kieran. I want more Kieran. Mad. Anyway. And Kieran is very much of the persuasion of like a bloke in like about 30, you've got no kids, probably no plans to have any kids. And he's a bit kind of frightened of toddlers. Couldn't get it up, eh? Couldn't get it up, Kieran. Don't take it out on someone else. Don't take it out on someone else. Seriously, if you've got his number, we can have a chat about things. Yeah, you should. Kieran's been in touch because he's got a racially charged spatula.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Do you want to hear about it? Wowzers, trousers. Yep. Let's have it. He says, hi guys, I hope trousers. Yep. Let's have it. Hi guys. I hope you're well. My name is Kieran and I'm emailing from Towson, Maryland. It could be pronounced Towson.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Towson, Towson, Maryland. I was making breakfast on Sunday morning for my wife when I noticed a new spatula in the crowded kitchen utensil holder. When I asked my wife where this had come from, because we are not normally ones for novelty kitchen utensils, she told me she won first prize at a recent baby shower for a friend in Washington, DC. I thought it was odd that first prize in any competition would be a celebrity chef endorsed spatula, which I think is reasonable, isn't it? And my wife whispered it was a spatula from someone called Paula Deen. Paul Deen?
Starting point is 00:23:29 Right. Now, for those of you who don't know who Paula Deen is, and I didn't, I just looked this up earlier. She is a celebrity chef in the United States who has been admitted to using racially aggravated language, basically saying racist things. And she admitted that. Will Barron She's a 78 year old woman from Georgia. So there's that and everything that goes along with that, you know, stereotype. Toby So I imagine that's probably part of it. And curious is not being familiar with the chef.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I asked my wife to explain what the big deal was with winning a Paula Deen kitchen item. My wife went on to explain Paula Deen has a history of using the N word, white supremacy and a longing for the years of plantations in the South. My wife said her pregnant best friend noticed this prize just prior to the event started. She also saw the prize was gifted by the soon-to-be paternal grandmother and to avoid upsetting other guests who may win the prize while also balancing non-direct confrontation with the mother-in-law, my wife and her friend devised a plan to rig the first game allowing her to select from the table of prizes. Nobody seems
Starting point is 00:24:40 suspicious of their plan despite my wife turning down a high quality butcher's block for this spatula when she won. Her only fear is someone saw her snag the prize with gusto and assumed she was standing up to the woke agenda one spatula at a time." Mason- Yeah, I mean that's a couple of baits on the bum there, isn't it? Because she looks like she really wants that Paula Deen spatula. Mason- Yeah, just been it. Just been it. Attached as the majority white spatula with an ominous slogan of time to eat y'all. Thanks, Jess, for the output. It's a nice distraction as an Irishman navigating the daily news in the US Keirin. Paula Deen seems like a very, very horrible piece of work. I'd never heard of her before. Will Barron She's famous for just, like her kind of meals just have lots of sugar in them.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Like that's their main thing. She will cook the most decadent, sugar-filled monstrosities. Like she will just go... This is something I would love to eat. If I had a cooking school, that's very much how I would go. Just a lot of cast of sugar in everything and just making everything like, you know, literally cheesecake for breakfast stuff. But that's part of the reason why a lot of British people go to America though. What? Because they like the sugar. No, because you can have whatever you want for breakfast. You can have whatever you want for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:25:53 In my house, there's a lot of Chinese can eat their breakfast. Which is why a lot of people go to China, of course. Exactly. You don't need to go to China to do that. Peter, it's part of your family tradition. I like the idea of that being a tradition in your family. We have a tradition in our family that, or my parents' family, where we'd always eat bacon sandwiches on Christmas morning. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. I think that's nice. I think it's a nice little kind of tradition, I think. Yeah, it's a good way to start your day, but you are gonna be having to drop your preventative antacids because that is,
Starting point is 00:26:28 that's heavy going, that is heavy going. Since I lost all this weight though, I don't have any reflux anymore. Really? No. Do you reckon that was pushing the acid up the esophagoth? I don't know, I've noticed a lot of, I noticed, it turns out what the doctors say
Starting point is 00:26:42 is actually spot on, like Like if you're not overweight, a lot of other health things come along. I don't have like, my joints are under so much pressure. I don't get acid reflux. I don't get as tired. Yeah. Yeah. It's just generally better. Yeah. I could do a shift. I could do a shift in a bit. It's been a rough year. You had a choice. I'd need to shift a stone. I think that's that's that's that's 14 pounds for our American cousins. Yeah. How do I do that? I'll wear a bin bag all day. Stop eating. The only thing that helps you lose weight is being in a calorie deficit. That's it. So if it's fasting, right, great. Good for you, but that's because you're in a calorie deficit.
Starting point is 00:27:25 If it's swapping out diet drinks, using diet drinks instead of full sugar drinks, great. That's again, that's saving you calories. Everything comes down to the calories. Boring as it sounds, you just gotta look on the packet of stuff, work out how many calories you're eating and keep it below 2,500 or whatever and you'll start to lose weight.
Starting point is 00:27:43 That's it. All right then. Well, this podcast has become some kind of fitness advice. Well, you know what I'm like this time next year I'll be size of a house again. Yeah. So that goes. The rock was being, there's basically a load of, for some reason I think I must have looked at something that was about muscle growth or... Oh, I started doing that on YouTube as well.
Starting point is 00:28:06 So your YouTube just gets taken up. Me watching a couple of sort of democratic Epstein files, so, oh, Trump's in a bit of trouble kind of like, you know, stuff has meant that a lot of conspiracy theories just start fucking getting fired at me. And it only takes you watching two Epstein files videos. It's obviously in the news at the moment, your whole algorithm changes, it's constant, I'm constantly being served the fifth 9-11 plane,
Starting point is 00:28:33 all of this kind of mad conspiracy theory stuff. YouTube know what they're doing, Google know what they're doing, they will throw stuff that they think you will love at you very very quickly indeed and there's some fitness guys who basically been chirping up about the rock he's got some kind of heart problem. What? What? And he's basically got I don't know what he's been interviewing he's basically got his doctor to basically say yeah he's fine he's fine, he's got naturally high this and naturally high that and the fitness guy was going is it natural? It sounded like he's got some kind of congenital kind of heart problem. I didn't know that. I think the tubes are like placking up I think and this fitness guy was going I I mean, it sounds very much
Starting point is 00:29:28 like there's one reason, one reason alone for that. And that's, you know, steroid use, but or whatever. And the doctor was basically going, like the doctor was going, yeah, no, I spot one doctor and I just found another doctor. And it just sounds like he's sort of gone to like the next doctor who will tell him what he wants to, what he wants to know. But I hope he's in good, I hope he's sort of gone to like the next doctor who will tell him what he wants to, what he wants to know. But I hope he's in good, I hope he's in good health. His dad didn't live to be an old man, I don't think, but very sad. I started to, I got served up a video by this guy called Dr. Mike Isretel. Have you heard of him? I haven't heard of Isretel. He does quite a good line in videos of, he like, you know, you know, it's something you've talked about before,
Starting point is 00:30:08 but he basically does the commentary on celebrity Marvel actors' fitness regimes. You know they'll put these YouTube videos on what they do and he kind of breaks them down. He's quite funny with it. He did, I saw him do one with Henry Cavill the other day. And he's like, I guess this guy's got a PhD in all this stuff and he's very, very qualified on it medically. And he's showing a clip of Henry Cavill doing this particular exercise and he's just going, pointless. That's pointless. No point doing that. Next one. It's really funny the way he talks about it. There's a big conversation there because you talked about more plates, more dates kind of guy where they sit down and they talk about who's juicing and who isn't and all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:46 And ultimately they're all juicing aren't they? Yes, yeah to a certain extent, yeah. All on the juice. With the exception of, interestingly enough, the liver king. He just eats clean. Just a lot of rice, white fish, white fish and chicken. Repeat after me, natural athlete. All right, let's get over here. I'd like to correct the record. Rocky Johnson died at 75, which is a pretty good innings for a man who- Not bad for a man of that size.
Starting point is 00:31:11 ...must die. Exactly. The bigger you are, the less likely you are to live a long life, as you are fond of telling me. And you can use it as you with a dog, right? I didn't say that. I never said that. Big dogs don't live as long as little dogs, do they? Yeah. Okay. I'd said it in the dog thing. I don't say that about people. All right, then we'll be back on Thursday. We'll have batteries and stuff like that. If you want to get into the show hello at lukepeachshow.com is the way to do it.
