it's the luke and pete show
oh and we're back for more luke and pete show fun it is a monday and uh basically every monday i
ask you how your weekend has been but i'm going to tell you how your weekend has been.
But I'm going to tell you how my weekend has been, Lukey Moore.
Go on.
I am the proud owner.
Check that out.
Did you buy a pub?
No, I didn't buy a pub.
I didn't buy a pub.
Okay, what's this?
Sunspot.
Sunspot.
What is it?
I don't know what it is.
You know when you go to the arcades and you get all of the tokens?
227 tickets.
For being really good at the Coconut Shy.
Yeah.
And then you put them in the machine,
and the machine chops them up.
And yeah, you, complete waste of paper,
complete waste of money.
And you get a little receipt.
And basically, I'm going to sit on that baby
until I've got to wait and wait and wait.
Because I keep on going to the arcades,
and I only ever get like 200 tickets maximum.
And I'm very good at the Coconut Shy.
Very, very good at the basketball game. And very, very good at the bowling game as well. And I get loads get like 200 tickets maximum and I'm very good at the Coconut Shy. Very, very good at the basketball game
and very, very good at the bowling game as well.
And I get loads and loads of tickets
and I exchange them for those little receipts
and I always lose them.
But I'm duty bound, Luke Moore.
I'm going to keep hold of those little receipts
and you and me, baby,
are going to have a bear.
A little bear.
That's the best explanation of NFTs I've ever heard.
It is kind of like NFTs, isn't it?
That's very very very clear for
people listening that they'll think i don't know what an nft is yeah but now they know if you go to
the arcade you're good at a game you get a certain amount of tickets and that's how much your nfts
are worth and very much uh nfts are quite carny in their in their creation can i ask what you
were doing at the sun sport arcade at 3 34 a.m it was not at 3.34am,
you big liar.
But it says the tickets are,
the validity
runs from the 14th
of the 9th, 2018
to the 23rd, 2025.
Why bother putting them on?
Nah, no point.
Why have you got 2018?
So if I were to walk
into that particular arcade,
the Sunspot arcade,
which I presume
is in Leon C,
or South End.
Yes, that's in South End.
South End, okay.
If I were to walk in there
at any point, would I see you
standing at the back in the corner leaning against the wall with a
Tottenham kids. A can of Rio
burping, just burping away.
Oh, pretty much, yeah.
Are you, are you, um,
are you Cheeky Pete from Exit 7?
And you go, oh, I said no, I haven't heard from him.
I don't think you are good
at the basketball game. That's the only issue I've got here. I think you're probably good at other stuff. I don't think you are good at the basketball game that's the only issue
I've got here
you're probably good
at other stuff
I don't reckon you are
good at the basketball game
I reckon you're like
Machine Gun Kelly
did you see that video
no
was he really bad at it
yeah
Machine Gun Kelly
he's tall
he should be good
at basketball
and he's got tattoos
some kind of
celebrity MVP
no
all star game
type thing
right
ok
and he was absolute
dog talk
well
someone's
cut together a video
of his low lights
which makes him
look as shit
as basketball player
I'm sure it was
a bit more nuanced
than that
but that's how
I imagine you
right well he's
kind of like
he's an interesting
chap I don't know
any of his music
but from
a vantage point
that I have no
interest in his music
or any knowledge
of it is
he sounds like
he looks like he might be sounding a little bit like Youngblood yeah I've never heard his music or any knowledge of it is he sounds like he looks like he might
be sounding a little bit
like Youngblood
yeah I've never heard
of his music
well I mean his is Toss
I mean it's pop music
but it's like he's got
he wears a dress sometimes
and puts eyeliner on
but he
with Machine Gun Kelly
it's kind of
he strikes me as being
one of those rappers
who 15 years ago
would have been
a ska punkpunker.
Yeah, maybe.
Do you know what I think?
Yeah, not you mean.
A lot of the modern kind of dear-glow-coloured kind of colourful rappers.
Yeah, kind of make me think that they used to be,
they would have gone into the whole rock or punk rock.
Do you remember there was a band called Brother
who changed their name to Viva Brother?
A little bit, yeah.
And I heard them and I was like, that Marcus will like them. And I passed them oniva Brother. A little bit, yeah. And I heard them
and I was like,
that Marcus will like them.
And I passed them on to Marcus.
He was like,
oh no,
I don't know if I will like them.
And he did really like them.
Yeah.
The point being that
they were kind of
like a Brit pop revival band.
Okay.
And they got a lot of press
and people liked them.
Fuck knows why,
but they did.
And then it turned out
they used to be like
a emo band
called Kill the Arcade.
And it hadn't worked for them.
And they just tore the rule book up.
Guilty.
Get a new rule book.
Started dressing as Brit poppers and became brother and became actually, on their own terms, quite successful for a while.
I'm not going to say good.
Quite successful for a while.
Interesting.
But it is.
So it probably does happen more than you think, this kind of thing.
It's quite cynical, isn't it?
It's kind of like, I think, who was
saying, was it Guy Garvey said you shouldn't
just
dick about with genres, because you're not giving the respect
that your own genre is due, which
I think is a bit of a...
He's a bit of an uncle at a wedding, though, isn't he?
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, he's a bit like...
Welcome to my room.
I've got some rec records to play for you.
That is a thing that people say.
Don't take stuff too serious would be my...
Because I used to be very serious about stuff like that when I was young.
And I kind of feel a bit cringe about it now.
I am.
Just like what you like.
Don't worry about it.
I won't play it on here,
but there's a guy who has gone through the entirety of OK Computer
and recreated it using just voices
and sounds from his mouth.
The whole thing.
In a serious way?
Well, about as serious as you can
when you're going...
That's a really bad example
because that part of OK Computer
is with the mouth anyway.
He's literally going...
And he's going
like in the background
and stuff
it's all built with his mouth
at some point his dad comes in
what are you doing in here
and he's just doing
every little
leave me alone dad
every little guitar part
every little synth part
every little drum part
he's doing with his mouth
and he does like
the strokes
this is it
and all kinds of
or is this it
which album is this
is this it
this is
that's the next album is this it this is it how you doing kids This Is It and all kinds of or Is This It? Is This It? Yeah. This Is It?
That's the next album.
Is This It?
This Is It?
How you doing kids?
Yeah, I'm a big
Strokes fan.
What an album
This Is It is, eh?
New York City Cars.
Luke,
I came out like
2000, didn't I?
2001.
2001.
Yeah.
Any more trivia questions?
So in my mind
you're literally
just talking to kids
of 2000
and you are a kid
in the year 2000
some of the people
who work at this company
yeah
may not have been born
disgusting
when that came out
well they can't work here anymore
that's not the only reason
no
it's illegal to employ
people that young
so they shouldn't be here
yeah exactly
they shouldn't be here
I wanted to talk to you.
I came into the studio today, Peter,
fully prepared to talk to you about that Danish goose parade.
Yes.
Okay.
Which I only saw about two days ago.
I hate to see goose stepping in a parade at any time.
Yeah.
But I think this, I think.
But it's actual geese.
It's actual geese.
I think they're allowed to.
There's your loophole.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I saw loads of goose
stepping down the main street
earlier today.
Oh, that's bad, isn't it?
That's bad.
Sorry, the far-right researchers.
Don't let them see that.
No, no, they were just Canada geese.
They were just geese.
What I like about the goose parade,
and those who haven't seen it,
we shall certainly share it
on our social media.
What a difficult sentence that is.
We shall certainly share it on our social media. So they're sentence that is. We shall certainly share it on our social media.
So they're not Canada geese.
They look to me like grey geese.
Right, okay.
They're kind of like the...
What commentator were we talking about in the ramble a little while ago
who the picture made him look like he had a big bum?
Oh, it's Jeff Shreves, wasn't it?
He had big Donald Trump energy, didn't he?
He had big Donald Trump bum energy.
But these geese definitely look like they've got a lot of junk in their goose trunk.
Well, I would like someone who's listening to this show,
who's maybe some kind of animal behaviourist,
to tell us how that happens.
Because they're all in great formation.
They're following the leader.
They've got someone behind them, walking behind them to make sure they stay.
There's music going on.
Yeah.
And it's an open street,
so it's not closed
the street off or whatever.
And I know that some birds,
particularly corvids,
can be very intelligent
and are certainly trainable.
Here we go.
I'm not sure this brings much to it.
No, not really.
It's just a plate with a symbol.
You can't really hear
the goose honking.
No.
I'd like to know
how they got them to do it.
What do you mean?
Because they'd be everywhere, wouldn't they?
They love it, though.
They love walking.
They love shouting.
They love walking.
They love shouting.
But if one of them saw a bit of bread on the other side of the road,
they're going to go, aren't they?
That is true, yeah.
And you shouldn't feed birds bread, anyway.
They'd be like, I need to go to the card shop and get a card
because they're walking
down a high street
aren't they
oh I need
I need a protective cover
for my Samsung
they're going to be
going into
fascia mania
they wouldn't use
a Samsung
would they
why not
they wouldn't hold it
that is true
what would they use then
where are their ears
they couldn't even
put a bluetooth in
they um
there was this
just fly over there.
It's really convenient.
They just fly there.
They don't fly thousands of miles.
They don't need a phone.
If you're a goose, you're flying to Canada.
That's nothing.
Just fly around your mate's house.
I'm going to speak to so-and-so in Canada.
All right.
They're not going to call them.
They're just going to fly there.
They don't need it.
Again, the idea of a goose in a phone shop amuses me.
There was like a light installation sort of arty display in Southend a few weeks ago.
And I think it was kind of like designed to get people in the shops of a Saturday evening.
Yeah, okay.
Why a Saturday evening?
I don't really know.
It was on over the weekend and it's like, you know, on the pier, the world's longest pier,
it had like a load of like, it looked a bit NFT to me,
but there was like a big display of cards,
like magic cards, but with different designs on them,
all lit up and stuff.
And then on the trees, they had loads of LEDs and stuff.
And then up and down, there was this really crap plastic
kind of lit up maze
that was genuinely a piece of shit.
I was fuming, wasn't I?
It's like they'd got basically,
you know, Pret-a-Manger during COVID,
they had those big plastic sheets
to protect you from the,
and everyone had these plastic sheets.
It's like they'd reuse them,
jigsaw them out a little bit
and put some lights through them. It's a terrible'd reused them, jigsawed them out a little bit and put some lights through them.
A terrible thing.
But I presume it was like
kind of there to stimulate
a little bit of the South End economy.
Now it's city-staters and all that.
The only thing that was open
was one peri-peri chicken shop
and five barbers.
Oh yeah,
and a shop that sells phone covers.
I was like,
you had the opportunity there
to sell some shit there.
Like,
you could have gone down the shops
like a little evening,
like opening hours.
Particularly if you were there.
You had an opportunity
from me specifically
to sell quite a lot of shit today.
But why do a lot of like,
why do a lot of towns have like
really late opening
Turkish barbers?
And there's never anyone in there. And it's kind of like, well, I think a lot of, for a lot of towns have really late opening Turkish barbers? And there's never anyone in there.
And it's kind of like...
Well, I think for a lot of different communities of various geographic locations,
the barbers is like a social hub, right?
Not in this case.
Let me make that very clear.
Did you say it's at the end of a fucking pier?
I can understand if it was one in Brixton Open, fine.
But a Turkish barber in Southend, where nobody's in it and there's just a bloke on his phone,
there was five of them. No, it's not the end of the pier? There was five of them.
No, it's not at the end of the pier.
Because that's not convenient.
No, but Pete,
it might just be that
if you,
the way I see it,
I've often thought this
about not just about barbers
but about any shop.
If it's your shop
and you live above it,
which happens a lot.
Why not just hang out?
Keep it fucking open.
Someone might need a haircut.
Yeah, exactly.
I've made a tenner there
or 15 quid or whatever.
I guess that you were
walking past a lot of
reflective surfaces
in the mirrors
so you probably
see your hair
kept seeing yourself
I'm pretty sure
one of the fish and chip shops
in West Norwood
and there are several
one of them
to protect the innocent
I won't name which one
it's a husband and wife couple
and I'm pretty sure
they live above it
and they're never in there
when you ding the dinger
to go in the door
they just run down someone turns up I reckon they're probably upstairs above it and they're never in there and when you ding the dinger to go in the door they just run down
someone turns up
I reckon they're probably
upstairs watching
oh I reckon they are
why not
yeah
ding the dinger
I'll come down
and throw something
in the hot oil
I don't go in there
very often
because the oil's old
what's old oil
tastes old
sounds like they've
lost a bit of love
for that particular job
they'll serve you
in the ad break
of Coronation Street.
Yeah.
Watch your...
I've started kind of branching out a little bit
with my fish and chip orders
because, you know, I've moved to the seaside.
Of course you have.
You would expect them to have good fish and chips.
I've not found that many shops
that really turn it on when it comes to fish and chips.
Do you know I always tease John
because he orders, like,
obviously really obscure shit.
Yeah, rock.
I love rock, please.
Oh, no no I like
sometimes say a fish
I've never even heard of
oh yeah I'll wait
I'll wait till I cook it
one of those fish
with a little light
yeah
you wait from the cook it mate
you're going to have to wait
from the go to the
fucking South Pacific
by the sounds of it
how do you branch out then
I've started getting
haddock
that's not branching out
that is branching out
cod is standard
but haddock is kind of like if it's one of the ones I've already got ready it's not branching out. That is branching out. Cod is standard, but haddock is kind of like...
If it's one of the ones I've already got ready,
it's not branching out.
Right, okay.
I don't know.
They don't always have it ready,
so haddock's always one of those things
that they sort of throw in for specials, I think.
Yeah.
Let me talk to you about the South Empire.
I always have a Wally pickle, though.
What's that?
A little cucumber they put in. Oh, a gherkin? Yeah. What's it called? You call it a Wally pickle though. What's that? A little cucumber they put in.
Oh, a gherkin?
Yeah.
What's it called?
A Wally pickle?
It's a brand, is it?
I get yourself Wally.
It's a brand, is it?
Yeah, I saw a man making a pickled gherkin.
What, putting a cucumber in a jar of vinegar?
Instantly in a vacuum.
What?
Now, I can only apologise.
Thank you.
Carry on.
Because obviously,
pickling is literally just the space
taken up with air
or water
it's just basically
replaced by vinegar
that's science
that's science
and
if you do it in a vacuum
obviously all the air
is removed
from the
from the cucumber
and then
you submerge it
in vinegar
and then
put the air back in
and then the instant
just sucks up all of the vinegar
and you get into the sign-o, right?
Where was that?
Why are we not making
gherkins at pressure?
Is that what the lock-picking lawyer's up to now?
He's ranting out, yeah.
It's presumably expensive.
It's an expensive process
but you're killing all the time it takes, though.
Yeah. Look, gher're killing all the time it takes, though. Yeah.
Look, Gherkin manufacturers of the world,
how important and how financially expensive is your time?
I don't really...
So I like pickled onions
to the point where I like making my own pickled onions,
which I've talked to you about.
Yeah.
I make pink pickled onions all the time.
In fact, I just finished a batch.
That does sound like a euphemism.
I wish it was. I'm making pink pickled onions in the bath. In fact, I just finished a batch. That does sound like a euphemism. I wish it was.
I'm making pink pickled onions in the bath.
If you think it's a euphemism,
unfortunately it's just me standing in the kitchen
with some cider vinegar, some orange juice, some chillies.
Anyway, I do like pickled onions,
but I don't really like pickled eggs that much,
and I don't like pickled gherkins either.
Pickled eggs can be a little dry, I think.
If you've got a bit of Tabasco on top or paprika or something.
That's your answer to everything. Lovely. Just you've got a bit of Tabasco on top or paprika or something. That's your answer to everything.
Lovely.
Exactly.
Just solve everything with a bit of Tabasco.
Sorry, I interjected when you were talking about Southend Pier.
Yeah, I wanted to say something that's possibly problematic.
Right.
I'll do it anyway and you can decide whether it's problematic or not.
I don't think it is the longest pier in the world.
Wow.
I just don't think it can be.
Really?
It's over a mile.
In the entire world.
Apparently it's 2.1 kilometres long,
which I'll be honest, I had no idea about.
I mean, it is...
There's a train that gets you up there,
there's a train that gets you back,
and there's fuck all at the end of it.
I don't know why they bother.
So it's just for...
It would just be a nice walk to go there and back again.
Yeah, yeah.
And you sort of see seals.
Oh, nice.
That's good.
At the bottom, that's good, isn't it?
I think there's a lifeboat place.
The only thing I know about Southend Pier,
and this tells you everything you need to know about me,
and you won't be surprised to hear this,
is that I know that it was used for some kind of purpose
during the Second World War.
Like it was closed off.
It was used as, I think, a convenient kind of place
to launch certain boats and stuff.
So further on
near Shubari Ness
there's this massive
construction that I
think might even be
longer than the pier
that looks a bit like
a pier
but it's like this
metal kind of
metal and wood
kind of like
it's not even a good
lie then is it
it's the longest
pier in the world
what's that just there
it's not
but it's not a pier
it's just like this
long kind of
you know like those
fishermen in like
rural like Malaysia
and stuff
where they look
like they're on stilts
in the sea
you know and they have
these kind of like
constructions
it looked a little bit
like that
but apparently that was
to protect the Thames
during the Cold War
and they don't use it anymore
but maybe they'll
reinforce it
yeah watch this space
and also they would use it to stop like ships getting in that shouldn't be there.
Yeah.
Oh, yo, ships, get back here.
Yeah.
Because there was a famous story.
Have you heard the story?
I mean, just to relate it back to the town, the seaside town I grew up in.
Have you heard the story of Buster Crab?
Have you heard the story of Buster Crab?
Sounds like a start for music, doesn't it?
So Buster Crab, he, a start for music, doesn't it? So Buster Crab, he...
Enemy of all crabs.
This was like in the 50s, in the mid-50s.
A Soviet ship docked in Portsmouth Dockyard,
in like the mid-50s.
And Buster Crab was like a Navy diver, right?
So stupid, Nick.
He's like a Navy diver.
Right.
And they said to him,
Buster, get yourself down on the bottom of that Soviet ship
and plant some shit on it or take some photos of it or whatever.
Yeah.
And so we get a good bit of intel.
And then he was just never seen again.
It's quite a famous story in Portsmouth.
Right, okay.
What, he just never came back?
Did he defect?
Well, there's lots of theories.
One is that he was killed by the Soviets.
One is that he was captured and brainwashed
and then sent back as a double agent
I mean he was underwater
for quite a long time
so that would probably be
my first port of call
he's in Davy Jones' locker
yeah
he might well be
in Davy Jones' locker
but anyway he's quite a cool dude
I've got a picture of him here
do you want to look at him
yeah I do
pretty cool dude though
oh he looks cool
yeah
I like him
I'm just glad he's
he looks a bit like
George Plimpton
do you know who
George Plimpton is
you'll have to tell me who George Plimpton is the he looks a bit like George Plimpton do you know who George Plimpton is you'll have to tell me
who George Plimpton is
the greatest American
sports writer ever
George Plimpton
this is a fucking great
George Plimpton's life
is amazing
and I hope we've
probably just got time
to squeeze this in
so George Plimpton
wrote loads of amazing
sports books
in the 20th century
so I've told you
about him before
he wrote a book
called Paper Lion
where he pretended
to be a quarterback
for the Detroit Lions
and the coaching staff knew about it but none of the other players did and so he wrote a book called Paper Lion where he pretended to be a quarterback for the Detroit Lions and the coaching
staff knew about it but none of the other players did.
And so he joined a pre-season
and just immersed himself in like a gonzo
journalist and he ended up playing
a little bit as a fourth choice quarterback in like a friendly
pre-season game. That's risky
isn't it? Yeah, called Paper Lion. It's a really good book.
He also wrote a book called The Bogeyman where he joined the PGA
Tour. Is this, I mean, I
just sort of think that this might be why Newcastle United strikers from New Zealand.
He might be a New Zealand striker.
Could be some kind of book come out at some point about it.
But he also, so anyway, he did all this stuff.
He wrote a book called The Bogeyman.
He also wrote a book where he, I can't remember what it's called now,
but he tried to become an NHL goaltender as well.
Yeah.
Anyway, the thing that's also amazing about him,
you might recognise him, people listening might recognise him,
because he's one of the talking heads in When We Were Kings,
one of the great sport documentaries about the rumble in the jungle
between Ali and Foreman, right?
Right.
But also, weirdly, he was the first person
to try and revive Robert Kennedy
when he was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in LA.
He just happened to be there because he was friends with him,
and he was on the scene.
He's one of these people who just had this amazing life,
a bit like a Walter Mitty type thing, but it was actually real.
Like a Forrest Gump type thing.
Anyway, yeah, he looks like Buster Crabbe.
That's it. Go to the break.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to Eureka,
the show that gets under the skin of science in a good way.
I'm Rick Edwards.
And I'm Dr. Michael Brooks.
Not the kind of doctor who'd be able to help much
if you were having a heart attack.
But if you're wondering about quantum physics
or the theory of matter, he's your man.
Well, probably.
Every week, we're asking a a new puzzling question from the
world of science and discovering the answer with the help of a world-leading expert like will we
ever talk to animals they are definitely talking you know that's again a word that i would qualify
because we usually mean that vocally but in their own ways they're talking to us every single day
are face transplants the future of cosmetic surgery?
Given that range of what's considered attractive,
there's probably no point wanting to change your face
to be more attractive if you follow science.
And should we fear an alien invasion?
If an imperialistic drive brings other civilizations to us,
then obviously it's not good news.
But if it's scientific exploration,
it may be good news.
If you're interested in learning a little bit more
about the weird, magnificent world around us,
then this is the show for you.

A lot of shows in my mind, a lot of shows in your mind.
Talk about your new show, Luke.
Welcome to the shows of my mind.
Where's my jetpack?
Jetpack. Don't talk about jetpack. You're not talking about your new show. To the shows of my mind. Where's my jetpack?
Jetpack.
Don't talk about jetpack.
I'm not talking about it at all.
It's a retro futuristic look at all the sci-fi we were promised in the 50s and 60s.
This is all a chat I won't allow on the compete show about space and stuff.
Take it somewhere else.
I found someone who gives a shit.
Sarah Coddice is the main host.
I just help her out a bit.
It's 10 episodes and each episode is on a different kind of idea of futuristic technology that came to pass so um a flying car it's actually it actually ranges from like quite interesting like science fiction like entertainment like for
example like a flying car yeah so like in the 50s when you watched an 80s so show set in the 80s
everyone was flying around the cars but it never turned out so what's happening with flying cars
who killed the water car who killed the electric car, everyone was flying around in cars, but it never turned out. So what's happening with flying cars now? Who killed the water car?
Who killed the electric car?
We didn't do the water car.
No.
Electric cars are quite obviously here, so we didn't do that.
That was a short ep.
Didn't make the cut.
It's over there.
Yeah.
Have you seen the new Teslas?
The new Tesla pickup trucks?
Let me finish this.
All right.
Things like interplanetary homes, interplanetary neighbours,
all the things that maybe you were promised or thought would happen in the future that never happened.
I think George Jetson was born
last year. The Jetsons are involved.
George Jetson and his
family were involved. Jane, his wife!
Sarah presents
it. It's called Where's My Jetpack
and it's available on any
podcast app you want to use.
It's well worth it. It's got lots of experts on it. I should say,
we had some amazing guests on it, right?
It was just me and Sarah talking,
me asking her really stupid questions
and her being patient and explaining them.
But also, I'd be like,
I'd ask her a question about
when we're going to go to Mars,
and she'd be like, well, let's find out.
And who's that on the line?
Buzz Aldrin's son.
She knows everyone.
Wow.
So Andy Aldrin's on it.
Loads of really famous scientists are on it.
Has he ever punched anyone?
Huh? Has he ever punched anyone? Andy Aldrin? I don't Loads of really famous science are on it. Has he ever punched anyone? What have you listened to?
Huh?
Has he ever punched anyone?
Andy Aldrin.
I don't know if he's as hard as his dad.
I hope he is.
But he seems like a very nice man.
So anyway,
it's called Where's My Jetpack.
Fantastic.
The artwork's amazing,
by the way.
It is, yeah.
The artwork.
Yeah.
What were you going to say
about Tesla trucks?
The new Tesla trucks,
I think they're in,
you know,
they're a big pickup truck.
You know,
a lot of Americans
love their pickups.
Tesla made a pickup truck.
And because of rules about what a car is, they've got to put for the windscreen,
they've got to put these like windscreen wipers, right?
But the windscreen wipers are fucking massive.
They're like the height of me because the screen is so big.
Right.
And the way it's been designed
the Tesla pickup truck has to have
these massive fucking
windscreen
wipers. They just look so stupid.
What are you doing? Just thinking about windscreen
wipers? I'm just thinking about windscreen wipers.
Because look, so here's the size
of the car. That's the front of the car
and that's how big the windscreen wiper has
to be because the screen
is too big.
But what do you suggest
as an alternative?
Lasers.
I don't know.
It's got to be big
and now it's not going to work.
It's got to be big
but surely they can come up
with a better fucking plan
than that.
One big bloody
windscreen wiper
that's the size of the...
What do you expect?
Just a little toothbrush?
Just do that little bit
at the bottom?
Just have a little vibrator
of the screen.
Vibrate it off, yeah. That'd be nice. That'd be really good. Am I right in saying that Elon Musk doing that little bit at the bottom. Just have a little vibrator of the screen. What, so the water comes off?
Vibrating off, yeah.
That'd be nice.
That'd be really good.
Am I right in saying that Elon Musk
was professing support
for that trucker protest in Canada,
which is this mad conspiracy theory
is kind of what I mean.
Right, okay.
And talking about how the truckers
are the guys and showing solidarity,
but at the same time developing driverless trucks.
Because if that's true,
that is amazing hypocrisy.
Yeah.
I don't think he's got a coherent thought
in his head at the moment these days.
Am I the only one who thinks
that he hasn't got enough money?
Because a lot of people talk about
how we don't need billionaires.
It's a sign of a failing society.
I think we just...
Give him more.
Give him more money.
Keep him out of the way.
Give Kanye more money.
Give the Amazon guy more money. Be Kanye more money, give, um,
uh,
the Amazon guy more money,
Bezos,
uh,
and then,
they'll just go,
they'll just go in more insane.
Yeah.
They'll just go more and more insane
and you'll never see them again.
Yeah.
That's fine.
Just Bezos,
don't need him.
He just,
so apparently someone was saying that,
uh,
you know,
like how Amazon,
um,
um,
TV,
Amazon films,
Amazon dramas and stuff, are a bit
of a, they sort of pale in comparison to some of the Netflix, you know, first party stuff.
You reckon?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, just because of the drone shots and the fucking music.
No, no, but like Netflix is celebrated for, you know, creating some good stuff.
Amazon's kind of stuff is a bit bitter here and there.
Stop hating on the Rooney Doc again.
But they say that it's because Bezos put together this top 10 list of what every TV show should have.
That can't be true.
Honestly.
He started off selling books out of his parents' garage.
What the fuck does he know about that?
That ain't true, is it?
Yeah, I'm trying to be as...
What, they were off the front of the rules? 12-step guide to creating television, effectively,
to create iconic TV.
Number one, a heroic protagonist
who experiences growth and change.
Two, a compelling antagonist.
I mean, these are basics, aren't they, really?
Four, moral choices.
What happened to three?
Three was wish fulfilment.
The protagonist either has hidden abilities such as superpowers or magic.
It's number 12 and also you have to deliver it by tomorrow.
Yeah.
Midday.
Yeah.
Eight, humour.
Nine, betrayal.
Positive emotions.
Love, joy, hope.
Ten.
Number 11, negative emotions.
Loss and sorrow.
Twelve, violence.
Is that what he wanted for his factories? I love the idea that he can only see anything
through the lens of amazon prime so like there's some really like famous director on the line going
yeah but jeff we can't do a tv show in a day it takes longer than that you can you've got a
million you've got a five million pound budget no i can't do it in a day i can't find the actors
and get them performing in a day yeah i don't believe that's true. I don't believe that people,
I don't believe that anyone thinks that Jeff Bezos
can make a TV show like that. That's what they said.
Look, I know what it takes to make a great show, Bezos
said, the TV executive.
This shouldn't be so hard. All these
iconic shows have basic things in common.
And then he listed off the top of his head a list of things
every show needs to be successful.
Yeah, and Amazon
Studios just had to send Bezos regular updates on the projects and development
that included spreadsheets describing how each show had each of these elements in them.
Fucking hell.
I mean, you could explain that the Luke and Pete show has all of these things.
Right.
Heroic protagonist, growth and change, me.
Yeah.
A compelling antagonist, Luke.
Yeah, you never change, but that's fair enough.
Wish fulfillment, hidden abilities, such as...
Very hidden.
What is our hidden ability?
Well, they're so hidden, it's difficult to say.
What's five?
Five is diverse world building.
Different geographic landscapes.
Sometimes I do it from home.
Yeah.
Four, moral choices to say the bad thing or leave it in the show.
Why are we on four again?
I'm moving back to four.
Moral choices. Sometimes you say bad things.
Yeah.
Six, urgency to watch next episode, cliffhangers, battery brands.
Why can't you read these in order?
Number seven, civilizational high stakes.
A global threat to humanity like alien invasion or a devastating pandemic.
Well, look, every piece of media's got that now, haven't they?
We've been living through a pandemic.
We've been living through it.
Eight, humour. We got that down. We got that now we've been living for a pound we've been living through it yeah it humor we got that down we got that locked number nine betrayal it's coming
soon it's coming baby sometimes we'll do the show with the people who aren't me or you you've done
it with rick edwards i've done like alexander stuff i'll say things that you think is a betrayal
sometimes yeah about you you don't you don't want things to the thing is this is the we should make
this clear to our listeners i'll sometimes say stuff that you don't want me to okay about you you don't want things to the thing is this is the we should make this clear to our listeners
I'll sometimes say stuff
that you don't want me
to say about you
but you are
you are also too lazy
to get someone to edit it
true
so it'll just stay in
because you've got to go
do something else
yeah
positive emotions
love, joy and hope
yeah I think we got a bit of that
we got a bit of that
negative emotions
loss, sorrow
the TV show
Only Fuzz and Horses
yeah
and violence
yeah
I mean there's people
getting their bits
chopped off
yeah
people hurting their hands
have you ever hurt your hands
you're quite
conversationally violent
what do you mean
it's like
it's like
the violence of the sea
just kind of like
just chaotic
you never know
what word
I'm going to use
in the middle of a sentence
that doesn't really
need it
you'll say something
when you want me to,
like you did it last week.
I can't remember exactly
what you said now,
but you will say like,
you'll try and describe someone
and you'll go,
who's that bloke
that did a shit
on that other bloke's head?
I don't know where to go with that.
Hey, my dog's getting
right kinky in his old age,
I tell you what.
Oh, what's happened now?
He's treating his life
like he's in a Berlin sex club.
He's got a real penchant
for walking behind
big Alsatians
when they're doing a piss and getting a bit on his head.
Right kinky.
Kinky bucko.
Why is he doing that on purpose?
It seems to be.
It just seems to be.
And he's also peeing in the house.
I think he's getting into something.
You told us last week about him peeing in the house
because you've got this new cleaner, right?
Yeah.
And it has a look of a shampoo,
like a carpet shampoo.
Bloody hell, so keep an eye on him.
I know.
If that's what he's into, it's up to him,
but it could be dangerous for him.
He's been on the internet, I think.
Yeah.
And we didn't get any time for any emails this week.
Fuck it.
Who cares?
We got emails.
We'll do some on Thursday, won't we?
Let's do some on Thursday.
But if you've got something to say,
if you've been to
the Berlin Sex Club
let us know
I would actually like to know
about the Berlin Sex Club
I find
people who are into
that sort of thing
fascinating
you know Ryan Hun
do you know Ryan
no
he does Stadio
and he does a load of other stuff
he's with the Ringer
he used to do
he used to DJ at Burgoyne
that's not a sex club
was it
are you fucking mad what do you mean I mean but that's not a sex club, is it? Are you fucking mad?
What do you mean?
But that's not their main thing, though, is it?
Look it up.
Fucking look it up.
You can't, secret mate.
I'm sure there are crevices in different places
that you get up to all sorts,
but that's not the design, is it?
But parts of Burgine are...
I'm going to go big here and say
arguably the world's most famous sex club.
So look it up, and your double bluff isn't going to work big here and say, arguably the world's most famous sex club. So look it up.
And your double bluff isn't going to work on me, Donaldson.
I've seen your easy jet ticket for tomorrow.
Burgin.
Yeah.
You probably can't even spell it, can you?
Naughty pictures.
Right.
We're going to get out of here on that note.
Hello at LukeandBeachShow.com for the emails.
And we will try and read some out on Thursday.
Fuck, it did spell it right, didn't it?
Did you?
Yeah.
You know what you're seeing there.
Whatever you see cannot be unseen. Wow. I'm at Luke right, didn't I? Did you? Yeah. You know what you're seeing there. Whatever you see
cannot be unseen.
Wow.
I'm at Luke and Pete Show
on Twitter and Instagram.
We will be back on Thursday
where we'll get to some
of your emails
and we'll do some
of your battery brands
if Pete makes it through
till the end of the week,
which we hope he does.
