The Luke and Pete Show - Halloumi Boys

Episode Date: June 12, 2025

Luke tells Pete about his most stressful Lime bike ride yet – unknowingly cycling home on one graffitied with “Pedo bike” on the side. Naturally, today’s big questions are: should we all be allowed to name hire bikes? And should kids ride for free?Elsewhere, Pete nearly doxxes himself in postcode form, Luke gets nostalgic about beaded taxi seat covers, and the lads confront a painful truth…they've become halloumi boys – and Luke’s had enough of being shamed by performative foodies about it.Plus, finally, 3 new batteries!Email us at [e-mail] or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram if character-restricted messaging takes your fancy.Fill out our survey here to have a chance at winning a PS5!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

I imagine it's probably got quite a chaotic start.

It's the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore. Luke Moore, what the hell have you done with yourself today? Not a huge amount to be perfectly honest. Yesterday I went to the West Norwood Feast. Whoa, what is that? The West Norwood Feast, it's not called the West Norwood Feast, it's just called Feast and it's in West Norwood. I guess I'll just call it that colloquially. But West Norwood Feast is on the surface, a very charming, very nice local business

fueled kind of food market, farmers market, you know, get yourself a nice bit of Tucker. Look at the local wares that talented local people have created. Hang out in the little playground area for the kids. You know, that kind of thing, a community led event is what it is on the surface. And it's the first Sunday of every month, right? So we were recording this a week in advance, so it was on the 1st of June. That's what it is on the surface. In detail, what it actually is, is me getting paranoid I'm going to be sunburned and then steadily more and more annoyed by loads of annoying families that I personally internally hate but in reality are just like me and my family.

Right, yes exactly. I think as men of a certain age we have an idea of ourselves that we're badass, salt of the earth kind of chaps but we've become... I'm not like them. We've become Halloumi boys haven't we? Yeah we have. I've definitely become a Halloumi boy. We're definitely Halloumi boys. This show should be called The Halloumi boys, haven't we? Yeah, we have. I've definitely become a Halloumi boy. We're definitely Halloumi boys. This show should be called The Halloumi Boys. I had Halloumi yesterday with honey and avocado on a bit of toast.

So have a bit of that. How did it go? Squeak, squeak. It's very squeaky cheese. I would say that Halloumi is probably the only cheese you could nicely eat with avocado. No? No, you can have an avocado, marmite and cheese. I don't want to have said that. Yeah, why are you getting involved?

I like that the people who are really into food, you know those like tedious food people? Yes. Who just use it as a replacement for a personality. Right. There was a really good take online the other day from some, I can't remember, was it, I guess a comedian or broadcaster, she was saying that like Anthony Bourdain has ruined the whole generation of young men by making out like some, you know, some noodle dish in some backstreet

fucking places, akin to like a revelatory experience. A quest, yeah, you have to have a quest to sort of do it. Just fucking stop. Right? I get it. It's funny. But what I've found in the food scene is that I'm, you know, kind of, for some reason unwittingly adjacent to in some aspects of my life, a lot of my friends are like that.

I've found that they all hate halloumi, which to me makes me think it must be good and so I should eat it. Why do they hate halloumi? I think they don't like it because I think they think it's like basic cheese for basic people and you say I guess because they sell it in Nando's quite a lot. I guess it's a replacement for like meat in so many dishes it's probably quite way more ubiquitous. I love halloumi. Is there anything, is there any kind of cheese? It's salty and squeaky and fatty and nice. But is there not like a halloumi, is there a cheese that's just like halloumi but it's

not halloumi that they can get into? No, it'll be, for food type people, and if you're listening to this and feeling seen and a bit awkward, then fuck you, they have to have the strongest bluest cheese possible. It becomes like a performative... Like the hottest chilli. Yeah, exactly like that. Exactly like that, right? And there's no sense where you can just go, do you know what, I'm in town, I want to have a bit of lunch, I've got an hour to kill, I'm going to pop into Wagamama's and have a chicken katsu, right? Which is absolutely fine, but people

won't do that, will they? You can't do that. But do you not think, it's quite heavy lunch, do you not think that like, do you not think that you are lucky enough to live in the epicentre of a million different cuisines if you work in London. Oh I like nice food, I don't think that's the same thing. But the thing is Luke, I remember when you didn't have the opinion that foodies were wankers. Like I remember, I do, I remember you going down that route and then suddenly sort of going, I can't be out of this. Rejecting it. Rejecting it.

I probably did. I probably went like halfway down the path and then thought nah, I can't commit to it. There's too many, there's too, you have to spend so much time cooking yourself to learn half this shit. I just do Hello Freshes now. I just, well yeah I do too, but like I just go into, I go, but I go into a restaurant and then go what's the weirdest thing I can order? Don't particularly enjoy it. Never gonna have it again, and then just what, and so I go, what lesson learned, lesson learned. You could never be one of those people because you like eating like, you'll eat a whole multi pack of like Cheetos in one go. Yeah, that's true. I did, I did in the woods.

And you hate yourself for other reasons, but you don't hate yourself for that. No, I hate myself for that as well. But what I'm saying is nothing wrong with liking food. There's nothing wrong with eating in nice restaurants. There's nothing wrong with trying to do the ingredients. There's nothing wrong with that. No, there's nothing wrong with any of that. No.

But to me, it's like football, right? You said about Hotter's Chili's is a good example. It's people have to do something in a certain way that's different or they have to essentially in quite a passive aggressive way be the one who's got the most knowledge about it or who's been to the weirdest places. It's like, it's like, you know, that scene in the in between his movie, the second in between his movie. You've seen that? No, I haven't seen a great movie. I'll be honest with you. It's not very good, but there's

a scene in it where all the travelers in Australia are standing in a bus. Um, what's it called? Like a bus garage thing where you get buses to go traveling. Yes. Okay. Right. They're talking about their own travel experiences and each one tries to outdo the other one, by talking about how they trek through the Amazon on their own with no medics and stuff like that, right? It's like that but with food, right? And you get it in people in football as well. You can just watch a football match and enjoy it and not have an opinion on whether someone's

using a fucking false nine or underlapping full backs or whatever. can just enjoy it you haven't got to use it as a performative way to show your knowledge. Just look at the footballers hair. Have you been to the fucking have you been to the halloumi brothers pop up around the back of noble rot? No I fucking haven't because I'm a normal person like I don't I don't care I don't fucking care. Yeah that's why we've got a McDonald's on every fucking corner. Yeah, it is. And I like McDonald's. Do you know what I did the other day?

I drove 20 minutes to buy a fucking Biscoff McFlurry. That's what I did. Ooh, that sounds nice. It was delicious. I had a couple of biscuits given to me by a man in a DIY shop recently. Now I'm, this is the kind of food I'm into. I tell you what, if you're one of the food influence who said that, they'd be queuing up round the back

of fucking B&Q. Where do you get your biscuits from? I get it from, what's it called? It's called, it's got an interesting name, let's have a look, Maps. Nearly said my... I nearly said my where I live in postcode form. Let's have a look. Do you think anyone would care if you dunked yourself? Would anyone turn up? Yeah I think so. It's an issue. Jumbos! It's called Jumbos! What, it's a DIY place? DIY place. I mean I'm basically telling them where I live anyway because I'm saying Jumbos. But yeah, the shop near me is called Jumbos in Leonside. Jumbos DIY?

Yeah, Jumbos DIY. They've not got a website. No, too cool. What were you doing there? Just buying some screws. Talking to someone who worked there about maplins with tears in your eyes. Yeah, exactly. To be honest, he's only got one four star review, they're all five. Steve Murphy, a

local guide. Local guides on Google Maps, always a nightmare. Steve Murphy, local guide, 21 reviews, he says very helpful. Four stars. What are you doing with your life? Why are you giving him four stars? What must it be like? What must it be like to run an independent hardware store in 2025? When Murphy's rocking around. Yeah. Yeah. He's reviewed, quick fit. What biscuits did they give you?

A couple of Biscoffs, one for my daughter, one for me. So I used to always call those Speckyloos. What the fuck? I think that's the actual name. You could probably buy that in a DIY shop and upset a loved one. Spekulus is the name for the biscuit and I think Biscoff is the brand. Spekulus? That's absolutely foul.

Sounds like Speculum. Take it into Google. Oh god. All I've been doing this show is Googling. I think it's Belgian. Spekulus are traditional Belgian biscuits known for their unique blend of warm spices like cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. And caramel-like flavour. Well, would you look at that? Spekulouse. I only started calling them Biscoff. Do you know why? Because I went to university, a

really good friend of mine is half Dutch. And he always used to have the old biscuits in halls of residence. Imagine discovering them for the first time though. People go real crazy for biscoff don't they? I love them. Yeah well you travel for an ice cream. The only time I used to get them is when you got them dished out with a cup of coffee at a cafe or whatever. Remember the old mini one you get with a cup of coffee. I don't know if they still do that but now biscoffs have had a really good resurgence. They're massive now. They were big in the 17th century when the Dutch spice trade grew. So you get all the cardamoms.

It's like when you go to Bruges and you realise that at some point in history, I forget where I'm going to go now, probably medieval times, the lace, for some reason the lace was absolutely massive. Yeah, it was like, wasn't it more expensive than gold? I'm just making that up. And then Bruges was like the centre of lace making. And so it became like a massively important city. And then it just stopped. I want some lace for my car.

That'd be lovely. Like Japanese taxis and centuries have it. Like a macromatic on the... Yeah, on the back of the chairs on the back even they've got lace curtains in the back of the car as well a little button when you when you bang it into reverse it just opens like a like a film. Do you remember when before uber when it used to be like local taxi firms if I used to get a taxi back from the pub or something in my hometown, the taxi driver always had like a beaded cover on his seat. Remember those?

Was that kind of, is it for like, is it a little massage kind of thing? Like a rudimentary kind of like rolling massage or something? I think it's just, I think it was just a kind of a cool thing to do. People just thought it was comfortable. I've just googled it. you can still buy them. They sell them on Amazon. Well they're a timeless classic. But it just feels like you could kind of roll yourself off the back of your chair into the back really. I just presume that was why they existed. Oh yes, like a sweet kind of exit. Yeah, like a FWAH!

Well according to Amazon, there's a seller on Amazon saying, keep your back from getting sweaty while driving. Oh, right, okay. So it lifts you away from the leather, I suppose. A load of varnished wood. I think you probably would get sweaty having one of those on the old. I could see you have one of them in the century. That'd fit well, wouldn't it?

Yeah, I think so. I think I think even roll with a pudgy whatever style you want to bang in there I would say yeah, did you did you drive a century in this morning when you came in? No, no god. I I cycled from Fenchurch Street. Oh, yeah, you said how was that? I felt powerful by the end of it. It's like a loss line bikes. It's actually a forest because they're cheaper. So just what have you cared about saving money, boy? Well, I think, well, because I frequently forget to take a picture and end the ride.

And then I get a message 15 minutes later going, you didn't end the ride, Peter. That's going to cost you. Oh, what? That's going to cost you money. What happens if I just left the limey B and I walked off? Yeah. I cycled all the way home the other day and I noticed when I got off it's someone had a graffitied pedo bike on it. Who could that have been? 45 minute journey. Yeah. Everyone thinks I'm riding the pedo bike. I like to think that very much like they name snow, so salt dispensers, salt

trucks, yeah salt trucks in Scotland, different names. I think they should, every lineback should have a unique little I would like that bikey McBike face kind of vibe. I would like that. There's probably about 5,000 of them in London though so you have to get cracking when to name it. Couldn't that be a charming little thing that everyone did Ten quid name you like feared feared deceased dad or something God it piss I still not got over the fact that my dad's passed away But at least there's a bike named after him stuck in the canal at hat Someone's ripped it off on his beeping

You see those naughty lads who haven't paid for it and have just fucked it up somehow. I saw a couple of them this morning. I saw a couple of them this morning. It was amazing that I saw them doing it. I thought, my first thought was dickheads. You used to be able to sort of push them, didn't you? Like really hard until they started. Well you see it a lot. Sometimes if I don't want to cycle all the way and I'll jump out, I'll jump up at Brixton and a park up in Brixton is a massive park there where you can park over 50 line bucks there. But you see someone, a school kid systematically going through

the back wheel, trying to kick it. And there's a particularly weak mechanism and kick it off and then they can cycle it for free. Right. I'm always like, there's part of me that's disgusted by that because I'm paying obviously and blah, blah, blah. But part of me is like, if I was 15, I certainly hope in 2025, if I was 15 in 2025, I certainly hope I was the type of kid that was doing that. Because what's wrong with it? It's a bit of a hijinks, isn't it? Lime have probably floated on the fucking New York Stock Exchange for a billion fucking

dollars. Who cares? Good on them. That's what I say. Push them in a canal. A 15 year old kid. Do you know what I think actually? Maybe if you're under 16 and you can show that you're... Careful, pedo bike one. Not the pedo bike. Careful driver of pedo bike. That's my one. That's daddy's. You should better ride them for half an hour for free. Why not? Get the kids out and about. Get them doing stuff. Get them off the fucking...

Get them off their Nintendos. Exactly exactly get them off their super nintendos are you uh are you gonna be flirting with a new um nintendos switch 2 as it comes out uh pretty much now well as my as the wi-fi i've access to insisted upon me buying one for a year yes have you got a pre-order in uh i believe so yeah oh that didn't sound particularly convincing what i was unclear about is is if they listed the games they're releasing with it that you can only play on the Switch 2? The only first party, aka Nintendo experience is, I think, Donkey Kong World, the new Donkey Kong, and the new Mario Kart.

I think they're the two main ones. But I can play the old Switch games on this one, right? Yes, you can. And they're a little bit sweeter, a little bit more graphically intense. I'm interested. I'm interested, I have to say. I am interested. I'm playing a lot of Helldivers at the moment. Jim Campbell's joined the squad. I didn't realise he was a Helldiver. I converted him. You should play with us as well, Peter. What is it, like PS5 or something?

It is PS5 yeah I think it's cross-platform I think you get it Have you got a PS5? I have yeah, I've never used it. I've near caused to use it You should play helldives with me and Jim. I should give it to a boy. Mate not to change the careful Or you'll be on the pedo bike Not to change the subject totally, but I think this is breaking news I should share with you. As of literally a few minutes ago Wayne Rooney has shared an Instagram photo of him and his wife on oblivion at Alton Towers. I thought that was gonna go one way but

he loves it. He loves it. He loves being at the old fairgrounds. And you remember him licking that big lollipop? Yeah. In normcore, isn't he? Is he the ultimate in normcore? Oh, no, I don't think he is. I think he's, I think everything around him is normcore. Because like the life of like an older footballer is normcore. Unless you start releasing AI operas about a dispute you've got with a Wigan based scaffolding company. Hello Ian Rush have you listened? Hello Ian Rush. And yeah I think he's got a little bit about him. He's, yeah he's got

a bit about him. Do you like him? Yeah. I've got a lot of warmth towards him. Do you think the energy he gives is like really good warm energy? I wouldn't say warm. I'd say a cheeky little drinker. Yeah, got a pinty vibe about him. But I think it's in a normal way though. What I love about Wayne Rooney is the experiences he's had as a human being. The wealth, the success, the attention, all this kind of stuff. It's not being able to penetrate a quite frankly

bulletproof normal exterior. He's completely unaffected by any of it. He's going to go on the Nemesis Inferno over his kids. He's going to eat a big lollipop. He's going to sit down and have a quiet pint in a pub in Plymouth. He'd be on the side of the scaffolders definitely. He's got scaffolding vibes about him. If you had to, say you got, remember that time I got stuck in the prep with Brienne of Tarth, right? If you got stuck in Jumbo's hardware store, you were locked in, there was a power cut, and it's you and Wazza knocking about for three or four hours. He'd have the whores offer Henry Hoover, pretending it's a cock within five minutes.

But I think you'd have a nice time. This is my cock piece. Wouldn't you have a nice time? I'd have a lovely time. He'd laugh at your jokes. He'd be polite enough to laugh at my jokes. We'd be, we'd just run around doing a bit of shoplifting. I think people look at Wayne Rooney and they go one of two ways. They go

he's pleasantly kind of fleshy as they say in boxing. Right. He's enjoying his life. Yeah. He's wealthy, got a lovely family. Yeah. He does a bit of telly. He occasionally has a massive pop at an annoying YouTuber. They're all things we'd like to do. They're all things we'd like to do. So you go, whatever you go, I don't like it because he gets to do all that fucking great stuff that I wanna do, but I can't admit it.

Or you go, that's a bit of me. I quite enjoyed Peter Schmeichel saying to Eyeshore Speed that Jamie Carragher won a foot race that he had quite recently. He had a race across some- I saw it. I saw the one-on-one football game with him. One-on-one football game with him against Ice Shaw Speed versus Carragher. Ice Shaw Speed's obviously a quick runner. Basically beat him all hands up. All hands down? All hands up either way. All ends up. beat Jimmy Carriger in a foot race.

And then Peter Schmeichel, while eating an apple backstage at the Allianz, was basically saying, oh yeah, no, Carriger definitely beat you. And he got really annoyed. And Schmeichel was just going, giving him Needle, going, no, Carriger definitely beat you. And he's like, no, man! He's really annoyed. He was brilliant.

Carriger's like super competitive, isn't he? Right, yeah. that guy. No man! He's really annoyed. Carragher's like super competitive isn't he? Right yeah. Yeah I remember when I went out to Liverpool to interview him, spent an afternoon with him and he had like, when we first met he was talking about how he had been in the boxing gym all morning and done like a load of PBs on different stuff. Yeah well he's competing against himself there isn't he?

Yeah and he also got really fucking vexed when Neville said he was faster than him. They had a fucking impromptu running race on that pitch where they looked like they were both going to fucking shatter their hamstrings. Then obviously he's first on the list to have a go at fucking speed to have a little one on one with him and he was putting a proper shoulder and elbow into him as well. I'll rate it. I'll just rate it. Just a man fighting himself. We've got to shake a top brick. We've got to take a short

break Luke. And we've got some battery brands if that's alright. It's the local page show. I'm Pete Donaldson. There is a shop near me called GMD Mores and Tools. Brett Cartwright has written, have the things you need, but try and sell you things you do not. I mean, it's just a DIY shop, don't worry about it. George has written, it is always good there, one star. If I had a shop and people were doing that to my shop,

giving me one star reviews and saying, generally quite good, and I had access to my shop, giving me one star reviews and saying generally quite good. I had access to sharp tools. I would be doing some research and attacking people with my sharp tools. Absolutely dreadful. I mean, you know the Takeaway Trauma Instagram page, right? No, what's that? Takeaway Trauma is like when people kind of review terrible things that have happened in takeaway restaurants. Right, I see. Yes, lovely. Big fun of that. So like, and then sometimes the proprietor of said takeaway will deny said claim. Like

one here, I used to work at this restaurant in Birmingham city centre around 2020. It used to buy chicken and meat and store them for months on end to serve them to drunk customers purposely as drunk people aren't in their senses." And then the reply is saying, you fuck off. I completely agree. If I am drunk and not off my senses, which is a pretty fancy way to say that, I'm, yeah I'm expecting someone, I'm expecting some deep freeze, freezer burned chicken. Yeah the best part is just the people who have probably used the English as a second language responding. There's nothing great to get out of the complaints because people are just moaning right, but like for example this one, apologies for this issue please come to our store and claim a free apple crumble, Zack. He's getting an

apple crumble in his face. It's consolation isn't it? Guaranteed, guaranteed, hot rhubarb, hot apple in your face. Finally one for now, order the £32 order and expect to the complimentary poppadom but when I opened the bag there was no poppadom. What's going on in this kitchen? It's an unwritten rule that all curry houses provide at least a free poppadom. Buy your own poppadoms. Then this guy replied, when did all takeaways give free poppadoms? You not buy a poppadom or you not receive a poppadom? Do I read your mind? If you want a poppadom order it you stupid woman.

Why don't you come to the shop and say to my face that you want a poppadom. Fact, you are too scared. You'll buy from my shop, do not order again. If you do we'll send you a burnt poppadom. He's getting a free poppadom. You just said you're not going to give him a free poppadom then you give him a a burnt poppadom. He's getting a free poppadom! You just said you're not going to give him a free poppadom then you give him a free burnt poppadom! Yeah, she gets one and a half stars to be fair. Hoisted by your own poppadom there, unbelievable.

Anyway, batteries, a once ailing feature is now very much full, veins bursting out of its head, rippling of muscle, the batteries are back baby. Joshua says buskiver de Alcalina, not heard of these ones before but that means fuck all really isn't it, in love with the little forest logo. I found these at a small resort in Menorca which is an absolute Brit fest but it was also a cheap last minute affair. The beer is cold and there's bouncy castles everywhere for the kids and that kind of makes up for the Brits who's only Spanish is gracias, shouting loudly in English. Bosque Verde Alcalina. Yeah, so Alcalina is presumably just Spanish for alkaline.

Right green in there surely. Bosque Verde is green forest. Bosque is forest in Spanish. Lovely, lovely. And that's Vincente del Bosco, the great Spanish football manager. You just be Vincent of the forest, which is nice. Nice. I don't like that nickname. Sorry, I don't like that name.

Vincent of the forest. You'd sound either simple or a rotten weirdo. I mean, yeah, it's quite charming though, isn't it? Luke lives in the forest. Why is he doing that? Yeah. The rest of society doesn't want to see him. Yeah, I see what you're saying. I do see what you're saying. Bosca Verde Alcalina is a brand new player though.

Oh Marina Gasolina Bosca Verde whatever it was. Beautiful. Alcalina. Well done. Beautiful. Great stuff. I can't believe we've not had a green forest battery before but there's the breaks. Why have we never had a battery that was sold in threes instead of two pairs called Alkaline Trio? Very nice. Question. Where's the gap in the market for you? Sonny did a lovely, there's a guy on Instagram who does songs in the style of other songs and he... What if another song was pop punk? But he's quite good at it and he eats very good at the voices, very good at aping the voices and he managed to do Call Me Maybe in the style of Alien Ant Farm and it is absolutely spotless. I'd love to see it. I love Alien Ant Farm doing Call Me Maybe. Vocally it's excellent. He does a lot. He does really

good Deftone stuff as well. I used to do a little party trick with my mates where I used to be able to do any song they asked for in the style of James Hetfield, but I can't do it now. I'm just getting over about a laryngitis. I can't go over it. Don't test yourself. Jim Chang, the last time I did it was backstage at the Birmingham live show and he got me to do, it's also quiet by Bjork in the style of James Hetfield. I was quite pleased with it. It's also quiet! That's all. Oh you heard it. Quiet! Yeah! Dean, Dean the gold machine, he's so clean and hey guys I've sent this original email three to four times since April 5th and it's getting infuriating to hear crappy new player submissions week in week out while my milestone submission

is being ignored. I have a strong sense of seeing things through that borders on an obsession and I can only surmise that my email address, despite having 20 emails read out since week two of the show, has been marked as spam or something. What's Dean's problem here? Dean's angry, I love it. What's with the anger and all this? No, I love it.

It's a very aggressive opening. One star some funny bits. If I've started something I must finish it. Order a poppadom. Send us some money, send us a telly. And it drives me up the wall to have an issue or problem go unaddressed and outstanding. As such I'm going to resend this email from the seven or so email addresses I have immediate access to on my laptop in the hopes one of them makes it through. This email was sent from address one of seven. It's Dean Chewie Chew, I didn't realise it was Dean Chewie Chewie, you know Dean Chewie Chewie quite well. Yes, I present to you the completely no-named, no-branded, no-logoized AA battery.

Yeah, I don't know how to search this Peter, you need to give me your advice on what to do. I don't know what to, yeah, I mean it's basically AA battery, it does say super heavy duty on the box and it does say on the, the brand just seems to be just battery. There is no possible conceivable way that Luke is going to be able to search for this one. So I'm sorry Dean, out of the, would it annoy him more if we said no? I think you've got to put it in. I think it's so obvious but I don't think anyone sent it in before to my memory so I think we just got to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's got us on a technicality there. Dean Chooey Choo, you are the happy

battery daddy. There's a little hole in the back for the battery battery in the battery daddy so well done. Well done. Well done. We're going to get a hat trip. Sorry about all the emails this week. Dean, Matt. Hello, the look and the Pete. Matt from Brisbane, Australia here. May I present to you the Office Max Ultra Digital Alkaline. That's what a robot would say if you put those batteries in its bum. Yes, I found them while going through the junk drawer, junk drawer, junk drawer in the kitchen. I've no idea if they've been submitted before because I have terrible memory. Hopefully these are new players. I'll be sure to adhere to the safety instructions and not dispose of it in fire as leakage or explosion may occur.

If you throw batteries onto a fire and the best you get is a bit of leakage you'd be pissed off.
