The Luke and Pete Show - Has a vet ever operated on you?

Episode Date: October 26, 2020

On today’s episode, we hear about Luke’s pumpkin exploits and we get stuck into some special boat service chat. We also hear what’s been described as ‘the most depressing email ever’ from a listener who’s been operated on by a vet and Pete’s got some horrific admissions about what he’s been doing with superglue. Get involved at [e-mail]! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

oh welcome to the luke and pete show pete donaldson with luke moore luke we're in the same studio together a very very warm welcome to you pete and to all of our listeners for the first time in quite a long time socially distanced we must add and we are in the same studio what a treat i don't like the fact when people sort of tweet about them having a party or hanging out with friends, they always feel the need to say, we are in the same bubble or we are socially distanced or we are not in a zone two area yet and all this stuff. And it's like, don't worry about it.

I'm not going to call the busies on you. Don't have a go at me now. Straight away. It's been a while. I've not been able to have a go at you face to face. No, great news for listeners who are fans of the dissection of your clothes by me. Oh, right. Because today you have gone for a very bold look.

A lot of very competing ideas. Yeah. It kind of looks like the test card on Channel 4 for those teenagers. It's like the North Korean approach to communism. What? It used to have very strong ideas about how communism was going to work, but now it's become something very difficult.

Shall we say a patchwork quilt? Yes. Shall we say? Yeah, yeah. It's a lot different. I've got like a kind of tartany sort of thing on the bottom and a nonsense on the top. Yeah.

It's a little much. A little much. I'm not wearing anything fancy on my shoes. Check my shoes. No, business at the front, party at the back. It's just nonsense on top, nonsense at the back. Exactly. I grew a giant pumpkin.

Oh, yes, I saw this. Was that what that was? Yeah. It was like a kind of, but it was more of like a tan colour more than an orange colour. Yeah. Is it going to grow orange?

That was a regret, actually. So the story is that my next door neighbours, sadly, for COVID reasons, they both worked in events and they lost their jobs. So they had to move out of London. So they moved back to the town where the guy is from, near Norwich and Norfolk. And they were cleaning their house out, obviously.

And they said, we found these seeds. Do you want them? I was just going to chuck them away. And they were pumpkin seeds and tomato seeds or whatever. So bits and pieces. I said, we found these seeds. Do you want them? I thought I was just going to chuck them away. And they were pumpkin seeds and tomato seeds or whatever, bits and pieces. I said, do you know what? And I did that thing that you will sometimes do as well. We're both similar in this way, where you'll go,

do you know what, actually? Yeah, I am going to grow something. I am a God grower. Yeah, so I thought, I'll plant these pumpkin seeds. And I'll be totally honest with you, there was a bed left over that wasn't being used. So I dug a few little holes, chucked the pumpkin seeds in, gave it, clove them up, gave it a water.

In a bed? Yeah, a vegetable bed, I suppose. And forgot about it. Anyway, they started growing. They started growing like you wouldn't believe. Through no skill of mine. So I chopped all the other ones away and just left this one. And it grew pretty big

i'd say it's probably the size of um a misshapen basketball oh it's great it was a good size it's very surprising and you sort of think that there would have to be more water than you can supply i guess it's quite rainy i was yeah but i was absolutely stunned as to where something that big and heavy could come from something like that. I know it's an obvious thing to say, like you learn that in primary school. Oh, very satisfying though. Yeah, it's great. I've made that happen.

So what I wanted to do is I wanted to cut it when it was ready and give it to my niece for Halloween so she could carve it because she's five. And so I did that. First thing my niece said was, why is it yellow? Fair enough. That annoyed me. Oh, no. The thing that annoyed me about that was I it yellow? Fair enough. That annoyed me. The thing that annoyed me about that was I didn't have the answer.

Yeah. And secondly... You can't fucking have it then if you put it down some stairs. Can't boot it. Break your toe. And her dad wasn't that enthusiastic about carving it

because I asked him if he would carve it for her and he looked wistfully at me, looked into the middle distance and went... Yeah, what kids have you, Luke? I suppose it's not that much of a big job. Yeah, all right. That's the enthusiasm I wanted. I thought it would be a great thing.

Could you Dremel it? What, a tripan it kind of thing? Yeah, just kind of get it out that way. Because it does seem like you would have to be very careful with the knife lest you lose a digit. Yeah, I actually really hurt my thumb picking it up out of the car and kind of pulled my nail back. And so it's a dangerous vegetable.

Dangerous pumpkin. When I looked at the packet, I realised it's from a massive breed, like a proper breed that are bred for giant pumpkins. So the record pumpkin is the same as that one. Which, again, kind of annoyed me because I was quite pleased with my progress. And then I realised that actually... It should have been more chordy. Oh, for the species, mate, it's tiny.

It's a runt. Yeah. It's like seeing an alien race and going, whoa, someone's visited us from an alien race, an alien planet. They're only three foot tall. No, he's like 12 foot tall. You go, fucking hell, he's massive.

And you actually visit the planet and everyone's 25 foot tall and you think, well, he's just a runt. I took a girlfriend to Hartlepool once and she remarked that not very good looking men in the town

is there and I went no no you don't know how handsome I am for my people so you've improved you've improved

so what you should have done by taking her to a different environment your stock has gone through the roof yes no she just thinks the whole town's ugly

oh so she'd look around and look at you and look around and go, that makes sense. But yeah, have you ever grown anything, Pete? You're not much of a grower, are you? Are you a shower or a grower? I'm a shower rather than a grower. No, I don't think I have really, to be honest. I looked after my dad's tomatoes back in the day, but my mum poisoned them with

slug pellets. You can't put slug pellets in the soil. You can't put slug pellets in the soil next to the plants because the plants will suck it up and you'll have poison tomatoes. I'm fairly certain that was the case. It might have just been

my dad trying to get out of growing tomatoes anymore because it was quite the job. Like when he got out of going on holiday with the family by just spending time in the shed.

Wanted to fit a burglar arm, yeah. Yeah, it's a brilliant ruse that. It is, isn't it? The more I think about it, the more I'm impressed by that. So I was really happy with the pumpkin. I't it? The more I think about it, the more I'm impressed by that. So I was really happy with the pumpkin. I've passed it on,

I've gifted it to someone else now. You're going to have to saw the bottom off it to get it to stand upright because it's not the right shape. Yes, so pointy.

Yeah. Could you have like a stand if you were showing off an NFL ball or a rugby ball? Yeah, you could do actually. Yeah, you could do that. And the sad thing is

that obviously people aren't really going to be trick or treating in any kind of numbers that they would do normally because of what's happened I very much enjoyed

Vish from the Football Ramble his effort he made like the spooky eye thing that you use quite a lot emojis he made an emoji pumpkin

little spooky eyes I thought you just thought I mean I the thing that annoys me about that Pete is if I'd have done that you'd have said that was disgusting

and despicable and really passe and oh god I don't think I would that, you'd have said that was disgusting and despicable and really passe and oh God. I don't think I would say that. You would have been annoyed the same way you're annoyed when I share a three-day-old meme. But because Vish has done it, and you like Vish, and I love Vish, he's great, you liked it. Correct. All of us things are correct. Okay, good. Listen,

we all know where we stand. Very well observed, sir. We all know where we stand. What's been floating your boat this week, Pete? Anything pumpkin-related? Not really. Or that hijacking. You'd have been all over that, surely. Oh, mate. Tell people about the story if they don't know. The thing is, the results and the situation seems

rather unclear to me. It seems that there were some stowaways on a boat from Liberia, was it? That would be weird. You know that you came and you changed my world. Was it Liberia? Why would it be Liberia? I don't know. It'd be a weird place to come from.

But yeah, it was from an African state and there were some storeways and it all kicked off just off the coast of the Isle of Wight. Yeah, which is a weird place for it. It really is. But I did, as I wrote yesterday, I did very much enjoy the men of a certain age who were excited by men in uniform getting very frothy.

People of our dad's age were getting very frothy about the boat being intercepted within the bounds of the, what are they called? The C... SPS. The SPS. What are they? SBS.

SBS. The Special Boat Service. Sexy boat sexers. Super boat soldiers. There were men getting really excited on Twitter going, oh, what? You're going to hijack a boat just where the SBS were? The type of people who type in special boat service

as a search on Twitter, and special air service as a search on Twitter, because they're men of a certain age. They're probably like Top Gear. Yes. They were all tweeting things like, oh, hijacking a boat 30 miles from the special boat service base. Good luck with that.

Eight minutes. It took eight minutes. That is good, though, isn't it? It is good. Look, it's excellent. I'm not saying I wasn't excited also. Yeah. I just don't like it when other people display the same things

that I'm excited about. No, but would you think there's a big crossover between those types of people and the people who sit at the end of a bar in a country pub talking about how... Their favourite panzer. No, they would have been

a football player but they got an injury and they used to be in the SAS. Yeah. Those type of people. I like jazz. If you... Say, for example, Pete,

there was some kind of mistake and they had eight people in the special boat service to do this mission to jump on board this ship that had allegedly been hijacked. The most recent report is the boat was based

or registered in Liberia and the Stairways were believed to be Nigerians seeking asylum. That's the latest report. But if there was a ninth person going on the special boat service mission and all of a sudden it was you and they put you in all the uniform

and the gear, what would your tactics be? Would you just try and get in the middle and just not have to do much? Would you get seasick on the little boat? I'd hang back. I'm quite proud of the fact I rarely get seasick. Your dad must be really happy with that.

I get carsick, I just don't get seasick. Your dad was a merchant navyman, right? He was just a normal navyman. Oh, normal, sorry, a normal navyman. I don't know why anybody would look down on the merchant. I don't really understand what the... They're just people who live on the sea. No, merchant navy is stuff like...

It's like commercial stuff. Yeah, but why did they have to call them the navy? Live on the sea. What does that even mean? Yeah, but what I'm saying is that why did they have to call them a navy? They just work on a boat, surely. They work on a ship.

Yeah, that's what you mean. Why do you have to be a naval officer? It doesn't make any sense. Do you know what you've just made me realise? What? I don't really know what the merchant navy is. So I'm going to look it up. I just thought it was, is it just not,

it's like, does it give you access to the Navy Club in Hartlepool, like what my dad went to every Saturday afternoon? So the Merchant Navy is a term used to refer to the commercial sector of the maritime industry. So it's what I guessed. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know what it was. Didn't need the word Navy there, did you?

Yeah. Makes them sound sexy though, doesn't it? Doesn't it, yeah. Yeah, I'm a member of the Merchant SBS. Say again? The Merchant Special Boat Service. So we do like

really high profile mission, but it's just a sea-based shops. They had, my friend who is in the Navy, he, we joke that his main job, and it was for a very long time, was just filling

the vending machine on his ship when they were going around. Someone's got to do it. Someone's got to do it. You don't think? Logistics, ordering toilet paper, filling vending machines, etc. Now he flirts with a little bit of, he flirts with a little bit of,

he looks after the emotional health, and he's HR basically on a boat. And he, after something like 12 boat. Right. And he, after something like 12 years of service in the Navy, decided, right about the time

his wife had a second baby, let's make that very clear, that he wanted to go to Iraq. Right, okay. And now he lives in a, like a, one of those packing crates with a little shower in it.

God, I mean, I don't know the guy and you've not named him so I can't ask this question. I mean, does he genuinely hate his family? I don't know, I don't know, but he's've not named him so I can't ask this question. I mean, does he genuinely hate his family? I don't know,

I don't know, but he's out there, he's having a lovely time, he's getting shelled every few weeks. Is that a lovely time? No, not really. He plays a lot of Prev,

he doesn't seem to be doing a lot. So basically, he's like a pistachio. He lives in a crate and he's getting shelled all the time. Hey!

Can I ask, can I just make a point that when, obviously as regular listeners to this show will know, and as you certainly know, Pete, I also grew up in a seaside town. That's where he lives. Yeah, he does.

I know what you mean. I know what you mean. Anyway, I've still asked the same question. No. When the big US aircraft carriers would come to the UK. I saw one on the way back from the, where were we coming back from? The Isle of Wight and I had

like the boat app that would check out the big boats of course you did and I was on the hovercraft and I was like look at the

fucking size of the they had to stop the boat because it was so big because it would disrupt all of the waves presumably so one of the

main maritime ports in the country is Portsmouth right but those boats I don't even know do you call them boats

probably not ships or whatever if it stopped being a port it would be a stupid name. Smouth. It's got everything going for it.

Smouth, yeah. Anyway, but the thing is, Pete, the technology has advanced so much and these aircraft carriers in the US are now so big. We're now like these guys who search for special boat service on Twitter, by the way.

Oh, yeah. They can't get in the port, Pete. So that aircraft carrier you saw would have been moored in the Solent, which is the body of water travelling back from the Isle of Wight because they can't get in the harbor right but the point is i was going to make is when i was a kid they've been that size for quite some time and when i was a lot younger my mom and dad used to take me down to stokes bay the main the main beach there and give the

old binoculars out and you could see american sailors cycling bikes up and down they've all got bikes. Love it. Because it takes so long to get from one end to the other. I've got a lot of time for that. It'd be now e-scooters, wouldn't it? Don't go off the edge. It'd be thrilling, though, wouldn't it?

Yeah. See what Dave did? Only the best thing. The thing we've always, always wanted to do. Yeah, he is in the sea, but he did do a backflip. I regret nothing. Did you hear the story of, speaking of that, did you hear the story of Duncan Bantam,

who we've talked about on this show before, who got kicked out of the Navy, didn't he? Right. Didn't he punch his commanding officer? I thought he held him over the egg as if he was a boat or something. Right, okay. I don't know. Is he going to sue us?

You're out. Yeah, I'm out. Here's why I'm out. I did a little Duncan Bantam impression back in the day, didn't I? Yes, you did. Anyway, so you've, what was your answer to my question? Oh, the hijacking. I actually asked you if you had anything floating in your boat

this week and then I interrupted you, as is my way. Well, there you go. That's it. The thing is floating in your boat are the men on Twitter obsessed with the special boat service. Here's a couple of choice ones. From the last 20 minutes, I did some work with both special boat service and special air service. SBS 6 foot plus, blonde 20 minutes. I did some work with both Special Boat Service and Special Air Service.

SBS, six foot plus, blonde haired, lithe, slick. SAS, five foot six on average, solid, grumpy, mostly Scottish. Yeah. Lesson of the day, don't hijack an oil tanker in waters that are within 30 miles of the HQ of the Special Boat Service. The most elite waterborne trained soldiers in the world. Yeah. Well done to the Royal Marines Special Boat Service as ever most elite waterborne trained soldiers in the world. Yeah. Well done to the Royal Marines Special Boat Service as of a discreet professional effective.

There's a lot... That's Bear Grylls, actually. There's a lot of men... There's a lot of men who want to fuck the Special Boat Service. They want people to onboard their boat, so to speak. Yeah, I think that they are... I mean, Nigerian, probably malnutrition storeways we're talking about here.

We're not talking about, you know, elite fighting forces. I'm sorry. They are an elite fighting force, aren't they, though? That's the point. No, I mean the Nigerians. Oh, right, okay. But the job's still got to be done. The job's still got to be done, yeah.

The job's still got to be done. But what, is it like, is your angle that these people on Twitter are saying, notice me, notice me? No, they're just sort of going, I know what that is. Or I've read this on Twitter and it's pretty exciting. I've got to retweet it to just know that British are great aren't they yes I have just finished my copy of

Bravo 2-0 by Andy McNabb and so I want to weigh in on this yeah anyway I just worry for the cult of men

on Twitter that's been the case of which I am one of them that's been the case for some time Pete I want to take a quick break because when we come back

I asked last week for anyone who Of which I am one of them. That's been the case for some time. Pete, I want to take a quick break, because when we come back, I asked last week for anyone who has been... We were talking about crime families, I think, and we were talking about people who get operated on by vets instead of doctors, because it's not legit or whatever, or because you have to go and see a vet because you are a victim of a crime or whatever, and you don't want any questions being asked.

And someone who listens to this show has emailed in saying they've been operated on by a vet. So stick around. After the break, we're going to talk about it. Love it. I'm Pete Dawson from The Luke Pitt Show. I'm joined by Luke Miller. And we are back for more of this.

And read up your emails. This is what we usually do in the second half of the show. If you've never heard this show before, this is how we do it. If you've never heard the show before, do you think people would have made it to this bit? Yeah, probably. I think they're in for a treat this week because we're both in the same room.

It's nice. Yeah, welcome. Welcome. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the email address. I trailed before the advert break that there was a guy who'd been operated on by a vet. I trailed before the advert break that there was a guy who'd been operated on by a vet. I've overshot my...

Not? Yeah, because he wasn't actually operated on. There was a procedure done. Taking a cyst out? I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you it. So this is an email from Jake who says,

Hi chaps. The recent chat about vets has sprung a memory. When I was around five years old, my dad decided to try and race our family greyhound local track. Right. A family greyhound. I'm going to guess that Jake is from the north of England.

And apparently his dad named the greyhound after his mother-in-law to annoy her. What do you think about that? I mean, it's a bit strong, isn't it? Very strong. It's a bit strong. isn't it? Very strong. It's a bit strong. Upon arriving at the track, five-year-old me ran around the car park and ran into a parked car

and split my head open. My dad did not want to be late for the Rayhound meet. So he took me to the on-site vet rather than the hospital who gave me five stitches which my dad then had to remove later with some pliers and a stanley knife the dog came last and was never raced again hope this helps jake jake that

is the most depressing email that anyone has ever sent us it's like one of my stories isn't it it's like one of my childhood stories it's a frozen sausage away from a pete donaldson family story pliers a stanley knife yeah if there was the Speedway track involved rather than a Greyhound track, it would be only a little bit more depressing. So I said earlier, my niece is five. If I saw her dad hovering over her head with a pliers and a standing knife, I would say, get away from her.

Get it sterile. At least make it sterile, for crying out loud. Jake's still alive to tell the tale. He doesn't know how old he is. He doesn't say how old he is. Are you saying that's not an operation? I would say stitching someone up is probably an operation, surely.

And this is pre-stitchers as well, isn't it? It's a procedure. Sorry, pre-staples as well, isn't it? Well, um... It would have only been worse if they'd put superglue in it. And is it staples now they use? I think staples seems to be pretty ubiquitous.

And the clever thing about those staples is I think they dissolve, do they not? I think stitches dissolve. I don't think staples seems to be pretty ubiquitous. And the clever thing about those staples is I think they dissolve, do they not? I think stitches dissolve. I don't think staples can dissolve, can they? I don't really know. As everyone knows,

superglue was designed for human beings, right? Yeah, I've used it a few times. It's really useful stuff. I don't know why we're not allowed to use it. Is it probably cancerous or something?

You should not be operating on yourself with superglue. I just, I live my life like I am in the middle of the jungle and the Viet Cong is chasing me. That's how I live my life, all right? You think you'd be more fucking camouflaged.

I am! This is camouflaged! It's like a digital camo that you get in the desert. What have you used superglue for? Like just closing a deep cut. Where? When? On my hand. Where is it? There you go. That one there. See that one? So you put superglue in that?

Yeah. And what happened to the superglue? I guess it just dissolves eventually. It's in your bloodstream. It's in my bloodstream. I heard that it was developed for soldiers as a quick way to treat battlefield injuries. But I thought that it wasn't properly proceeded with

because it wasn't reliable. So they just used it for other stuff. Like when the guy invented the post-it note because he was trying to invent glue and he invented the worst glue ever and that became

the post-it note well I think I can't remember which side it was on but certainly in I think it may have been the Korean War they devised this

amazing coagulating kind of powder that they'd pour into the wound and it would sort of gum it up sort of thing, but the blood would clot immediately. It's incredible stuff. And you see it a lot in Chinese first aid kits.

It's just this red powder you just throw on it. And yeah, it's incredible stuff. I'd love a bit of that. But you can get it in most Chinese apothecaries, so to speak. Here? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Yeah, it's just red powder.

Feels like it should be regulated, that. Eh, just spice, isn't it? Isn't it also the case now that on battlefields they use those as massive syringes, but they've got small, almost like, I want to say cotton wall-type, polystyrene-type things. Right.

And they smash those into a big wound. Nice, okay. And it instantly kind of soaks all the blood and blocks it. See, this is what I find exciting about battlefields. Yeah. Right? I don't care about tanks and guns and stuff. I love the idea that, you know,

things need to be clean and quickly closed. It's fantastic. Fantastic what they can do nowadays. But where's the clean and quickly closed come into it? Where's the what? Why have you said that? Because it needs to be clean. It needs to be clean. Yeah. It needs to have you said that? Because it needs to be clean. It needs to be clean.

It needs to be closed. And it needs to be clever. The solution needs to be clever. Like your mouth. Like my mouth. So look, Jake did survive to tell the tale after having stitches put into his head at the age of five by a vet,

which were removed with a standing knife and supplies from his own dad. Now wrong with it. I like it. In the 80s. It must have been in it. I like it. In the 80s. It must have been in the 80s. Yeah. Everything happened in the 80s.

I remember I went to, yeah, I remember when they took my pins out of my arm. Yeah. They didn't send me to sleep. They didn't have local anaesthetic. She just got pliers and yanked it out of my arm. And it did not hurt at all. It must have had some kind of injection.

Not a single injection. Just took it straight out. Was she a doctor? I remember she was like the premium expert in that part of the elbow. She was very good at elbows for some reason. That's why people get more and more educated.

They get more and more specialised. Yeah, yeah. She was top of her game and she'd never seen anything like what I'd done. And for those who don't know, you broke your elbow trying to do a Klinsman dive

playing football it was magnificent can you remember the incident itself er er ball over the shoulder yeah

hitting Azar Zakano on the drop vol yeah yeah just flew in and yeah just went yeah I played on how did you hurt yourself

as I screamed what happened you just you did jumped out pussied out no when you see a professional footballer do a knee slide and it doesn't work,

was it like that? No, no. I went to do it and then got scared that I was going to hurt my face and then put my arms out to, it was a bit of a drier day than I was expecting when I saw the grass. I was like, that's going to hurt me.

But when you do a Klinsman dive, you're supposed to put your hands out anyway. Yeah, but out, but I put it underneath myself and I crumpled, see? Oh, okay, right. My arm went the wrong way and I and i was like that was i just didn't do a correct dive really but you carried on played the rest of the game carried on played the rest of the game score another one oh win the game felt very sick very queasy very unwell unfortunately so yeah just

don't do that kids just don't do that for crying out loud uh we got a message from oh we got follow up dom fair play pete it literally says gibbon on the wall at the top of the picture i took oh okay right i didn't say that to be fair remind people of what this is again yeah uh basically uh a man uh dom went to the horniman museum and he was amused by the fact that um there was a long-armed monkey a very long-armed monkey and he thought it was a uh an inaccurate bit of stuffing uh knowing the horniman's terrible reputation for stuffing. But no, it's a beautiful gibbon.

But he says, good mammalian recommendation there. Pete, YouTube is only going to be recommending me gibbons for some time after that rabbit hole. I only found out there's an Instagram profile just dedicated to gibbon videos. So that's very much what I've been following over the past few days. And you've been very, very consistent in your love for gibbons

over the years, to be fair to you. It's not a fashionable thing for you. Some people have adopted the gib few days. So you've been very, very consistent in your love for Gibbons over the years, to be fair to you. It's not a fashionable thing for you. Some people have adopted the Gibbons scene. You were definitely born with it. I'm right, I'm right, yeah. The Instagram follow I would recommend to everyone listening, which I cannot get enough of,

is 70s sci-fi art. Oh, right, yeah. So you know like... Kitchy kind of airbrushed space war because of the Cold War and the paranoia that that kind of fermented yeah

from the 50s obviously all the way through by the time it gets to the 70s particularly the early 70s you've got people who are imbibed with

Cold War paranoia but also taking some decent amount of drugs and living probably on the west coast most of the US ands um and they're spending their time preparing for armageddon by um doing massive landscapes of foreign worlds with

different conceptual animals and spacecrafts and stuff amazing and i can lose hours it's brilliant 70s sci-fi art. I very much recommend it. Oh, all that stuff is absolutely fantastic. Let's squeeze one more email in before we go. This is from Chris who says,

Hi guys. Meant to send this a long while back when you were discussing Noel's house party and Mr. Blobby. Probably a couple of years ago that.

And for those who are listening who aren't listening in the UK, which is quite a few of you actually, which is awesome. Noel's house party was a Saturday night family show for those who are listening who aren't listening in the UK, which is quite a few of you actually, which is awesome. Um, Noel's house party was a Saturday night family show,

um, presented by an idiot. Uh, and he had a sidekick called Mr. Blobby. Yes. How would you describe Mr. Blobby?

Uh, man in a suit. Shit. Uh, a clumsy spare shit. Pink with yellow polka dots on him. And boggly eyes. Because it was the 90s,

his thing was like running into situations and just causing chaos. Yeah. Going blobby, blobby, blobby. Knocking things off, blobby, blobby, blobby. Had a number one single, I think. Yes, Mr. Blobby. Yeah.

Blobby. Yeah, Chris said, I'm from the UK. At the time of the above blobby conversation, I worked for a navigational aid company in Wellington, New Zealand. What? I mean, what is that? Like a GPS? What is navigational aid company in Wellington, New Zealand. What is that? Like a GPS? What is navigational aid?

He goes on to say, I've visited many lighthouses around the country. He once got chatting to a local harbour master who told me about a story involving Pencarrow Lighthouse in Wellington Harbour. There are two lighthouses in the area, one coastal and one on the hills,

and the upper lighthouse is heritage listed and no longer in use. Back in 2001, it was undergoing some routine maintenance. Over the Queen's birthday weekend, which I suppose is a bank holiday in New Zealand, some rascals popped up and painted it pink with yellow spots. The harbour master was giddy at the idea that someone had come up with such a colourful

colour combination because he obviously hadn't heard of Mr. Blobby. So I showed him who it was and he didn't really understand. So basically what's happened is I guess a lighthouse is kind of that shape.

Yes. And some people have painted an entire lighthouse pink with yellow polka dots for no reason. It's quite good. It's quite a good scheme. Fantastic, yeah.

A lot of hard work. Chris goes on to say that talk of ligament damage to dogs, which we talked about last week, prompted me to send you this information as well. My mastiff has just had her ligaments done. 3,500 New Zealand dollars. Holy McMoly. What do you make of that?

I think it could get it done cheaper, but could get it done worse. Should go to that vet that Jake went to. £1,800, that is. That's all right for me. I think that's more than enough. What price to pay for a dog to... What is your cut-off?

What do you mean? Until I can't afford it. What's your cut-off? Until I can't afford it. So you've got a dog that you love. Every man's got a price. Your dog... You've got a dog that you love every man's got a price your dog you've got a dog

you love it it's your family dog and it's still got a lot of miles left in the tank and the vet says okay it needs its operation done or it's going to die I'll do it myself

give me the tools I'll buy the tools off you you can't do it and then he says you can't do it yourself and you both casually look down to a carcass on the floor

the last one you tried to do and he says unfortunately you can't do it yourself. And you both casually look down to a carcass in the floor. The last one you tried to do. And he says, unfortunately, Pete, to keep your beloved family pet alive, it's going to cost £20,000. You're right. Well, I mean, you would want to pay it, wouldn't you? £50,000. No.

See, there is a cut off. There is a cut off. And people don't like to talk about it. I'll pay any amount because I love my dog. Well, I don't have £50,000, do I? I don't have to talk about it because i'll pay any amount because i love my dog well i don't have 50 000 pounds do i i don't have 20 000 pounds but i could probably beg steal and borrow i couldn't could i who's gonna give me that amount of money the phone will ring and i'll be peaking i'll be thinking we ain't got a team meeting this week guys i'm in a bit of a bind here so so i mean because some of the procedures will be expensive i don't mean to

play on to play on people i don't think it'll be £20,000. Who's doing a £20,000 operation for a pet? Because very few people will be able to afford it, surely. Very complicated brain surgery. I'll tell you what, then. You'd want an improvement in their behaviour. You pay £50 for the brain surgery. Afterwards, the dog can speak, but only you can hear it.

You're up for it. Yeah, definitely. I'll definitely pay that. I'd pay loads of money for that. But imagine if they're just really boring. I want some meat. Yeah. Pete, have you got some meat?

Turns out dogs don't do anything but look at what they say. Pete, have you got any meat? I'm hungry. I'm really into meat at the moment. I'm hungry. Will you shut up about meat, Stephen, the dog?

Talking about Mr. Blobby, I saw Mr. Blobby taking, facing off against Scott Hall, aka Reza Ramon, the wrestler. He's the bad boy now, isn't he? I think he's back. Is he dead isn't he? I think he's back.

Is he dead now? No, I think he's still alive, but he's back on top, I think, after a long career of drug abuse. And drinking. But he was facing off on Going Live or whatever against Mr. Blobby. And Reza Maroon's thing was

he would flick a toothpick in someone's face and he flicked it in Mr. Blobby's face. I've never seen a better sell of that move. He goes, bloopy, bloopy, bloopy. He falls over. He was amazing. At his peak, Razor Ramon was amazing. With his toothpick and his long hair and his look.

He was amazing. He was like a kind of, what would you call him? Like a kind of greaser. Like a horrible greaser. His look was just so slick. I remember being like 12 years old and thinking, this guy is the guy I want to be. It's weird, isn't it?

It's like what your dad's friend looked like if he was sexy. Yeah, definitely. Charged with second degree murder after shooting a man with his own gun. We should point that out. Well, he didn't use anybody else's gun. He's used his own gun. Kept it in house. Him and Diesel.

The charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence our lawyers have instructed me to say. And is it beyond the matter he's in a really bad way? Yeah, it will be. Yeah, it's really sad. Him and Jack.

He's got some kind of issue with drug dependency and it's just awful. But anyway, pleased to hear that he's on the straight and narrow again now. According to you, Pete,

so that might well be bullshit. Incorrect. On that bombs bullshit incorrect on that bombshell on that Razor Ramon powerbomb did he do the powerbomb? I don't really know

I don't think so the Razor's head surely was his or was that someone else's I don't know I know an Irish whip that's about it that's terrible

that's the shittest thing ever you just slap him across the chest ask Mark Haynes do check out the WrestleMe podcast, which Pete is 50% off. 50%?

20%. 20% off. I do the recordings. I edit it. Do listen to WrestleMe, for which every episode, Pete is undeniably present. And check it out wherever you get your pods.
