The Luke and Pete Show - Have you ever had anything lopped off?

Episode Date: March 10, 2022

Small people are being verbally attacked by pro gamers and Pete is reeling. REELING. This begs the question: what would Pete be like if he was 6'3?We also consider the amazing world of Pokémon and get an update on the alternative versions of TV shows in China. Oh, and Pete has an interesting new email topic…Have you ever had anything lopped off before? Email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back with the Luke and Pete show It is a Thursday I'm joined by Luke Moore My friend, my compadre, my confidant You're a pal and a confidant And if you threw a party Everybody would have won a go But you would see

The biggest gift would be from me And the card attached would say Thank you for being a friend Oh, that's nice That to go, but you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend. Oh, that's nice. That's the nicest intro you've ever done. Nice to see you.

How are you? It's quite alright. Yeah, fine. I'm alright. I'm still reeling from the video game news that a professional Tekken player

has been fired because she has said that short men under 5 foot 7 don't have human rights and should have limb lengthening surgery. Where's that come from? Why has she said that? She's, I mean, she's said a lot of stuff, but why she's getting cancelled for this,

I don't know, compared to all the stuff. It's the other stuff she's said about protected groups, let's say but yeah, she's she's a hot tamale when it comes to opinions good as me, she's a professional tech and player, very well respected real rising star of the

professional tech endgame and yeah, she's got very strong opinions about men who are under 5 foot 6.9 inches tall. How tall is she? Presumably she's probably around about that size or a little bit shorter you would imagine because I think the average, I think she's Japanese I want to say. She is, I think the average height for men is 5 foot 7 there I think.

But yeah it's strong words. But mainly I want to talk about it because I wanted to know how much taller I could be if I had limb lengthening surgery. Is that even a thing? Oh, yeah, it's a thing. Is it? Yeah, big in China. How does it work?

Lads who want a few extra inches, they break the legs and just go... Break the legs, put metal plates, metal sticks to reinforce it, and the two ends of the bone just grow towards each other within a matter of a few months. That must be controversial, surely. It's controversial.

It's unnecessary to do it for cosmetic reasons, and you know, people do it for plenty of reasons, like, you know, genuine growth, birth defects and growth defects and stuff, but a lot of people do do it because they want a few more inches, but you can gain

six inches in height by doing this process, and I presume that's only on one bone. So maybe you could sort of do the upper part of your leg and then add a few more ribs in if you need them. Why can't you just do the old Simon Cowell and get yourself a built-up shoe? Get yourself a built...

Well, I presume you could... Imagine if I went suddenly, right? Wearing my normal shoes, come in, and I was like six foot three. Honestly, I just thought that exact thing. I just pictured you walking into the studio at six three, and it obviously sent a shiver up my spine. Yeah.

Actually, would that be possible? I would be six two is the maximum I'd go. What am I, five eight? Yeah, but it would still be frightening. Right. Because I think that you being, you know, shall we say say average height and wiry and stuff yeah it's a big part of your i think it's a big part of it informs your personality yeah okay

if you were if you were i think i think that like taller people tend to be sort of character wise tend to be different i don't think they tend to be honest I'm not trying to do a pseudo scientific kind of thing I'm just saying that clearly the way you experience the world

is going to inform your personality right I'm a little cunt I know I'm a little cunt but you know what I tried to do I tried to list I tried to list things

in my head of what taller people normally are and I just thought to myself I'm not any of them I was like taller people tend to be chilled out and a bit more patient i was like i'm not that i'm really impatient i'm a complete bellend a lot of times i don't know where that's come from but i do think it informs it so i think

you would i think it would feel odd to you it would be a bit like looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself which i think would be a very unsettling thing i think i'd be i think i'd be it yeah i'd be more obsessed with my like adam's apple and stuff because i'd be able to see it better wouldn't i i don't know i i think imagine suddenly experiencing the world like six inches higher than what you're used to like walking in the studio and everything's a bit higher and yeah weird i often do that with my with my cats and how they experience the flat that we live in because they're always at about i don't know what is it one foot high right and so you'll be like i don't know like sometimes we had the cats for years and years and sometimes like you'll get a box out from under the

bed yeah and they'll be terrified and leg it and you're like well you've seen that box like a hundred times why are you frightened of that box but of course to them it's probably five times bigger than they are yeah that's true yeah it's probably five times bigger than they are. Yeah, that's true, yeah. It's probably quite natural for them to be frightened of it. They also have this really weird relationship with the bin lorry that comes every Thursday. Yeah. Because we're on the first floor, they can see out of the window down to the bin lorry. Yeah.

And they're obsessed with it. Because there's loads of fish heads, loads of carton fish heads in the back. Yeah, they're like Top Cat. Yeah. Yeah. They're obsessed with it. Because there's a lot of fish heads, there's a lot of carton fish heads in the back. Yeah, they're like Top Cat. Yeah. Yeah, but they're obsessed with it. They must think it's some kind of giant predator or something. Yeah, maybe, yeah. And they do that thing where,

I don't know if dogs do it as well, they probably do. You know when like, you can't distract them, you can't click your fingers, you can't stroke their head, they just stay focused, fixed on that thing

until it goes out of sight and they get on with their day. It's really weird how they experience it so I imagine for them for you know you could even probably

extract like that and say you would experience the world far different to me because you're what like six inches shorter than me I guess it's like me kind of walking past a

Floridix advert on the tube I just can't stop looking at the Floridix what's that for is that for extra iron yeah it's like a was that for extra iron yeah it's like a prune flavored iron drink um and the bottle looks so old school and the advert looks

so old school and it looks so shit but they've clearly made enough money in their life to afford tube adverts every bloody day and so i'm transfixed if i'm going down an escalator i see a floridix advert wow i'm god i'm tempted to do that I want to do that thing that they offer now where you can get your blood sent off and check for every different thing

that might be wrong with you yeah but I I worry about um A I worry about not being able to get enough blood out because last time

I tried to do my um do the old they sent me a kit to give me to get rid of not get rid of to do

because I had COVID twice they wanted to see if I could test the antibodies so they wanted a dose of blood effectively and another dose and I try to get rid of, not get rid of, to, because I had COVID twice, they wanted to see if I'll test like the antibodies, so they wanted a dose of blood effectively and another dose,

and I try to get, I couldn't, I can't get blood out of my body, just my blood just, well, wants to stay in my body and I'm happy with that fact.

you just pricked the finger? You pricked the finger but it's just, you have to milk, like, I just can't do it, you know, it's just,

it's, I just cannot do it, it's impossible, but, but yeah, i yeah i think that would be it'd be fun to find out but i don't trust medical startups because there's been enough fucking horror stories it's all just a bit like because that wasn't called that um elizabeth holmes yes have you heard that podcast series i haven't no but she's the one who changes her

voice when she's um having a meeting i mean we all do absolutely fair that series which is about five million episodes long could probably be about three episodes but um it is very very odd it's very odd because because what it is is it feels it feels to me that people and if you don't if you listen to this you don't know the story i'll recommend you go and check it out but people wanted it to be true so much that they kind of lost all like rationality

like they were obviously these are clever people as well right people don't just chuck in hundreds of millions of pounds or dollars into something they don't believe in

or they don't research but it was like a really weird insight into how built on sand all that venture capitalist kind of silicon valley stuff is yeah yeah it's it's it yeah it and you're right though it's when people when sort of people see so

many kind of like you know your electric cars and your fucking drones and all this all of these amazing kind of advances you know built on quite tepid old technology has to be said um you know they they sort of do stuff and they sort of go oh my well this is the time where we should be making these massive advances but science proper science biological science don't doesn't work that quickly it just doesn't support people wanted to because you know we can create we can if we throw enough money at a fucking electric car it'll go not a 60 in like a second or something, but, you know, medical stuff, it needs way more specialisation and tech bros can't do it by alone, you know.

What can people learn from your blood, do you think? I reckon I've probably got a few weird chromosomes, just me. Just kind of the peak chromosome, maybe. I don't know. You just chuck the blood on the table and some of the magnifying glass goes, oh, that's a weird chromosome I haven't seen before.

Yeah. I'm like Pokemon. I'm like, I think I've evolved. What Pokemon are you most like? What's the one where you fall asleep and they draw on your face? Is it Jigglypuff? He draws on your face when you fall asleep.

I think that's one of them. Okay. Because my wife regularly calls me a snorlax it's basically a big fat one that's always asleep

and needs to be played a flute to wake up yes he's blue as well he looks a bit like a fat vole I've got a blue

dressing gown so I think that's basically part of it and I'm very pale oh that's very cute and very rotund little snorlax boy very enjoyable and then and then the

wife i have access to did what she always does when we have these kind of conversations and i'll say okay which one are you and whatever it is she'll just choose the cutest one yes me yeah no definitely yeah um cute kid yeah so so here so here's some facts about this do you want to hear some fun and fascinating facts about the snorlax yeah Yeah. The Snorlax is said to weigh over 1,000 pounds. Tick. Next. Due to having an enormous appetite, Snorlax will devour almost anything, even moldy and rotten food.

Yep. Carry on. Next one. And you have very strong digestive juices, and your stomach can dissolve any kind of poison. I'm never sick. I am never sick. You are never sick.

That's true. Perfect. Yeah. Makes sense. And apparently you have to play the poker flute to wake him up yes yeah they uh they open their eyes when they faint uh and yeah and and snorlax dances and stands up and dances to the music when the poke flute is used he's basically just describing my relationship. He's lovely. That's adorable, to be honest. Yeah. I think you are massively a Mr. Mime. Who's a Mr. Mime? So Mr. Mime is a Pokemon.

Mr. Mime. I think it's no different in Japan. Pokemon facts. But it's like a quite weird, like... Oh, he's horrible. He looks... He's got, like, Krusty the Clown hair. He looks...

He's known in Japan as Barrierd. He reminds... He's got, like, Krusty the Clown hair. He looks... He's known in Japan as Barrierd. He reminds me of Mr. Mime. Like, wiry, a little bit kind of jerky with movements. Yeah. Like, eccentric.

Upsetting. Like, his kind of, like, different forms. Like, it's just different colours, basically. One of them, he wears, like, a diamond tie on it. Yeah, you, wacky.

Absolutely. Why is Mr. Mime so creepy? Mime is when we went to Marcus's wedding and I said to you that you were dressed like a provincial hypnotist

yeah that's Mr Mime isn't it yeah Mr Mime is a type of incense it's extraordinary special and there are only

nine other Pokemon that have incense that really are running out of fucking shit oh mate it's so detailed isn't it

yeah he's in Detective Pikachu and he can create invisible objects or invisible walls just by moving his fingers. Wow. That's how I see you. Yeah, quite a con artist. I will slap you if you interrupt

my mimes. Again, exactly, it works. Do you ever do stuff and it's just you and you're around the house or whatever, and you're doing things in a certain way, do you ever think about yourself, oh, I am quite eccentric? No, I think I'm normal.

I think I'm very normal, and I think everyone else is just absolutely MORs. Because I remember when I first met you, I thought his brain is backwards. Right. Like Marcel from the Raggy Dolls. I'd like to be compared to Marcel from the Raggy Dolls. Or was that Back to Front?

I don't remember either of those programs. He had his head... There was Sad Sack, who was a sad boy. And then there was Marcel, I think, who was... Maybe he was called Back to front but it was a french one i think he was his head was stitched on the wrong way so he'd always be walking in the wrong direction yeah i can i can kind of see that yeah and some ragged doll facts ragged doll facts can i also just bring something to the table admin wise that we need to tell our listeners

yeah is that we did something um just changing the subject slightly, we did something a while back about the Chinese censorship version of certain movies. Yes, yes. And one of them was Fight Club, right? And so we talked about how they didn't want to have any kind of undermining kind of ending to Fight Club that would be seen as being subterfuge or something against the establishment or whatever

so they just did this really lame anyway you can listen to it again if you want to or if you haven't heard it go back and listen to it anyway we had a lot of

emails from listeners actually including one from Josh who says he lives in China and the Fight Club ending thing was quite widely

talked about but the company involved called Tencent actually ended up reversing its decision as a result and actually the full version is now available again so you can actually watch the full version of fight club in in china now yes okay so which is surprising right because i thought i thought they were going a lot from based on what i read and i don't know anything about this

really but based on what i read i thought china were going much more authoritarian yeah i mean they are i mean they have but they obviously they'd create such a silly hoodoo that clearly over on um is it we were um obviously that uh that story spread like wildfire that the chinese version of fight club which is you know it's just a silly um approximation of it because of the uh the the stringent censorship in china um and so they had to write it back because it was just a bit ridiculous leaving it up because everyone knew it was the wrong... It's the wrong trousers grommet. It's the wrong ending to the show.

But did you see that there was an alternative version of Friends released in China? I haven't watched that because I've heard things like rubbish. People are sort of noticing more and more kind of weird censorship and bizarre censorship as well in quite popular TV shows

and I'm quoting from the news story in the latest Chinese version when Ross tells his parents that he's split from his wife he doesn't explain the reason

the reason being she's a lesbian living with another woman is now pregnant and plans to raise the baby with her partner instead the scene simply cuts to his parents

stunned faces and the plotline ends there. You'd think, you almost think that Chinese imperialism, you'd think that they would sort of go, well, look, they have very regressive views about LGBT plus

situations, and so you would imagine they would sort of want the decadent West to sort of look um degenerate effectively do you know what i mean they are very strong that they have an idea that any alternative alternate non-cis kind of non-straight lifestyles are degenerate so you would imagine that they would sort of want to take the piss out of the americans for having this freedom do you know what i mean i don't understand that Yeah, I totally understand your point.

I don't know. It's a weird calculation they seem to have made. Yeah. It's almost as if they haven't thought about it properly. I'll tell you what philosophically probably wins out is the idea that they don't, wherever possible, they perhaps take the position. Don't mention it. They don't want their citizens to be exposed to it, probably.

Right, okay. Yeah, that's fair. Joey's suggestion of a trip to a strip club is translated in Chinese subtitles as going out to it probably. Right, okay. Yeah, that's fair. Joey's suggestion of a trip to a strip club is translated in Chinese subtitles as going out to have fun. This is what we all tell our partners. When Paul the wine guy tells Monica that he hasn't been able to perform sexually,

the subtitle says that he's been in low spirits. Again, something that is... It's more euphemistic, isn't it? I like it. I'm in low spirits. A lent by Rachel that she's more turned on by a gravy boat than her fiancé is translated as Rachel's being more happy to see the tableware than her fiancé.

But last year, when the Friends reunion episode was out, they just cleaved out the cameos from Gaga, Bieber and BTS because at some point those celebrities had offended the country's leaders. Oh! I just find it so, like, pathetic. It's so, so...

Do you know what it reminds me of, right? Have you seen the first part of that Louis Theroux documentary? He's done a lot. Which one? He's got a lot of heat.

There's a brand new one. It's called Forbidden America. It's got a lot of heat and people are talking about it and the first episode focuses on basically online trolls who are really, really right wing

and who have kind of manifested themselves in real life at things like the Charlottesville thing and the storming of the Capitol building, all that kind of stuff. And obviously they're the authors of just generally very, very horrific behavior. And that's not new news, but it kind of is laid bare in the documentary episode.

But one thing that's really actually worth remembering, and you can apply it to these decisions around things like Gaga and Bieber, who, quote, offended the establishment or whatever. These people, they're just so thin skinned, it's unbelievable, right? And for all the chat, like if you use the American one, which is what i know a bit more about all this kind of stuff if you remember the trumpers of which these guys are really a faction of um they come up with all this stuff like fuck your feelings facts don't care about your feelings and you know it's all just it's the truth and you just can't handle it guys you. You know, we're just saying what everyone's thinking. And, you know, and then Louis Theroux, who was the most benign beta male in broadcasting, who really gets a lot of joy out of particularly

the American subjects of a documentary because they don't really know what to make of him because they think of him as being quite odd and eccentric. And it's very hard, I think, for a lot of people, particularly in places like the Midwest, to process someone like Louis. They just lose their shit. They completely wrap their hands in.

They reject it. They get so offended. And at some point in that first episode, I haven't seen the second two yet, or the second and the third. At some point, it's like Louis Theroux, who never loses his cool, is just saying,

why are you getting so upset? You look like you're about to cry why are you so upset yeah i'm just asking you a question or whatever and the one particular thing would be where one of these guys who is just the most horrific human being like completely almost irredeemable as a human being he's seen on camera at some event giving a nazi salute right but he insists that he's not a nazi so So Louis Theroux asks him the entirely reasonable question, why are you giving a Nazi salute then, right? And rather than just engage,

given that he just dishes stuff out as a career and has become very wealthy doing so for his entire adult life, right, he just shuts the whole thing down. I'm not talking to you. And then what happens? As soon as Theroux goes away, he opens up a live stream of this same guy

and this live stream guy is just back in his own fucking environment in his safe space just hammering people again, hammering Louis Theroux, calling him a little bitch, all this other stuff.

Yeah. My overarching emotion hearing about this kind of stuff is just, it's just pathetic. Yeah. It's absolutely pathetic. It's tragic.

I know it's offensive to a lot of people. I know I'm in an exalted position because I'm not, as a straight white guy guy i'm not the target of these kind of attacks and i'm not trying to diminish how hurtful they can be but my takeaway is you know what it's just a fucking tragic pathetic human being and everyone can see you for what you are and there's really nothing more to it than that you know there's nothing impressive about what you're doing. It's not funny.

It's not edgy. It's not cool. It's just fucking tragic, mate. So get over yourself and either come into the fold of human beings, of this community that is the human race, or just fuck off because everyone just thinks it's tragic.

Well, I completely agree. Same with the Chinese government. Oh, well, we do this. We fucking want to control our citizens. We want to watch everything they do. We want to fucking marginalize groups and treat them terribly. But the moment you say one thing that we don't like, we're

going to fucking wipe you out. We're going to wipe you off the face of the planet and pretend you don't exist. Embarrassing. Lukey. Lukey. What? Can you hear this? Yeah. John Cena apologising for saying that Taiwan is a country. Fuck you now.

Do you know what I mean? What kind of world are we living in? Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han, Han had many, many interviews. In one of them, I made a mistake. Everyone asked me if I could use Chinese. People at Fast and Furious 9 gave me lots of interview information and I made a mistake. It's so, so, so, so, so important. I love and respect China and Chinese people.

I'm so sorry for my mistake. He doesn't go and actually mention the fact that he shouldn't have named Taiwan as a country. It's just, if you play the fucking game and you learn Chinese and you become this kind of like, quite cynically learn Chinese, you're doing it for a particular reason. You're the head of the WWE and you are there to bring in more money and bring in more cash for your industry

and to a lesser extent yourself. And he's learnt that for a reason and he's become a bit of a puppet really, I suppose. And it's sad because he's a clever bloke. Is it fairly impressive or is it wrong to be impressed with the fact that he's actually learnt Chinese? It's incredibly. I think anyone who learns that particular language is like absolute space brains i don't know how you begin to work with any tonal language i just i just i find the whole thing very very impressive but yeah if you're doing it just so you can make a bit more coin uh to to you know it's it just seems a bit stoogey to me

just yeah i know i understand what you mean. I understand. And then apologise for calling Taiwan a fucking country. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It's embarrassing. But the thing is, there's probably genuine real-world implications for him

if he doesn't do it. Yeah. I'm not having a go at him for not being brave enough to not do it. I understand the world, the real world, has a habit of, the universe has a habit of just not giving a shit what you think. And if there's real world implications to it, maybe

it's the lesser of two evils for him. I'm not criticising him. I just think the whole thing is a little bit sad. Anyway, let's have a break. When we come back, we've got to squeeze some battery brands in. We've got to do a couple of emails as well. We'll try and squeeze those in too. So don't go anywhere and do

stick around and we'll see you the other side of this. There's more to Irish history than St. Patrick and Shane Todd and Hazel Hayes are here to tell you all about it on We're Not Fucking Historians, the Irish history podcast with a few facts and plenty of crack, like the legendary Irish warrior, Cooke Collin. Some sources say he killed the dog by driving a

hurling stone down its throat. Now, he's six. He is a... Did someone say the naughty step? Jesus, someone went to bed without supper, didn't they? Someone call Supernanny, because he's at it again.

Or Ned Kelly, Australia's infamous Irish-born bushranger. Punishment was imprisonment with or without hard labour. I'd prefer without. If possible. If it's going. Do you have any without hard labour?

Yeah, can I have the without labour substitute, please? Can I get the hard labour on the side? Can I get almond instead of hard labour, please? Search We're Not Historians. That's We're Not Historians in your favourite podcast app for weekly episodes every Tuesday.

Let's see what these people have said about it. Amazing. The Times. Whoa. New York Times. A lot of times. Great. Hazel herself.

We're Not Fucking Histor historians as a stack production and part of the a-cast creator network welcome back to the look of peach show we'd like to welcome our brand new sponsor the show tencent and alibaba it's about to say we do a lot of chinese battery brands on there we are literally in the pocket a big battery unbelievable um yeah if you've got a battery you found in some excellent chinese electronics uh do get in touch send us a picture to hello at lukinpeachshort.com we're going to be kicking off uh with a battery gavin gavin gavin gavin gavin now i am willing to admit that sometimes some batteries slip through our fingers

and slip through the net when it comes to reading them out on air I understand that and occasionally we'll come to an email we've not opened before but Gavin if you think you're getting through with a fucking pear deer in 2022 get out of this parish and never return Gavin

you're a disgrace sir I just searched it 116 times. Gavin! Gavin, Gavin, Gavin, Gavin, Gavin! Maybe we just haven't read it out. There's a lot of people. Never mind. So, yeah, sorry, Gavin.

That's a no. Sorry, Gav. Felix has got in touch. Dear little Pete, I finally found a potential new player in the remote for my new project... Sorry, my new projector.

Kehoe Batteries. K-I-H-O. Hope you're doing well in these weird times, Felix. Kehoe Batteries. We don't hear enough from people called Felix, so I'm very, very happy to hear from you, sir. But I'm afraid to tell you that on the 22nd of March last year, our friend Isaac Robertson sent in a Kehoe Battery,

so they are not a new player, I'm afraid. Ah, nuts. Right, well, finally, this Thursday, I think this has got a very good chance of being a new player because I've completely... This one's passed me by, if not. Lightworks, L-Y-T-W-O-R-X. It was on the floor in the lounge when I walked in this evening,

which probably means something doesn't work. Your man in Red Beach, New Zealand, Neil. Ear, ear, light works. Yeah, he's included the picture as well. Very, very impressive stuff from you, Neil. That is a brand new player. Never seen or heard of those before. Very, very well done to you.

And I hope Red Beach is as nice as I imagine it to be. I'm sure it is. Blood. Blood everywhere. Little black puddings rolling around. It's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Yeah, very nice.

Pete, should we do some email? We've got an email here from John and I really want you to read it out. Squeeze one in before I have to ship off. John DeLong. Great name. Great email. Hello, gentlemen.

On the subject of running potatoes through a juicer in the hopes of getting potato milk, I live in eastern Canada in the province of Nova Scotia And while potato milk Has not made it to this side Of the Atlantic There is a tradition Of running potatoes

Through a juicer Not to get the juice From consumption But instead to remove The liquid from the potatoes For an Acadian Eastern French Acadian Dish called

Rappi pie Oh sorry Ropey pie No I've had two cracks I've got it wrong every time. Raw pea pie. The potatoes are rehydrated with hot chicken stock,

then laid in a special casserole dish with chickens, onions, and then baked. The ensuing dish has a golden brown crust, while the texture of the potatoes is a bit of an acquired taste. Those who love the dish, like I do, count it amongst our favourite meals. Of course, when the meal was developed in the 1700s, cheesecloth was used instead of an electric juicer, and often the meat would be clams, still popular, rabbit, or other wild game. Raw pea pie, I'm loving it. John DeLong in Halifax, in Nova Scotia, it's a cracking email, and I want me some raw pea pie.

Yeah, it sounds really nice. I'd definitely like to eat it, but I looked at the Wikipedia page, and the photo on the Wikipedia page makes it look horrible. It makes it look horrible. Have a look. Have a look for yourself. But as it's described, it sounds very nice to me. And the inspiration for this email,

just in case people have forgotten. Lordy. Doesn't it look great, does it? It looks like wallpaper paste. It's absolutely disgusting. But I'm sure a proper wrapy pie, wrapy pie, it really fits in my accent.

Wrapy pie? Yeah, it does. I'm surprised it's not a Northeastern delicacy. It looks nice. It looks very, very potentially very wet, very, oh, it's good, man.

Yeah, lovely. Cheese on top. The inspiration for the email is the fact that we were talking a few weeks ago, weren't we, about some absolute wag has brought out potato milk. I just thought,

nah. Not for me, mate. I'd rather have raw pea pie than that. But anyway, Pete,

that's it. Let's get out of here. Let's get out of here. Do the admin. You do the admin and we'll go.

Oh, God. Straighten up, fly right, stay in school, don't take drugs. See ya. Hello at

LukeandPeteShow.com is what I want. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is our email address. If you want to get to the show, let us know what you're doing with your life, if you've made any massive life changes.

Maybe you've got something lopped off for like a medical reason or a lifestyle reason. Tell us about it. You know, let us know how it goes. Yeah. We also did, Pete, we also did promise earlier this week

that on this show, before we left for the week, you said you would come up with another email topic for people because they were so good with the hand-hurting emails. Yeah. Are you getting something lopped off? Well, it doesn't mean anything, does it? You could be cutting something off. Have you ever had something lopped off?

Right, so as in from your house, from your garden, from your body, what? Exactly. Anything. Open-ended. Open-ended. Have you ever... We're going to do a subject. Have you ever had anything lopped off before? I have a feeling the responses here won't be quite as prolific,

but we'll see. We will see. We'll see. You've had a tree surgeon round. You're always talking about that foxy tree surgeon with his Kevlar trousers. What's going on about him? I almost had to pay him for an extra half day because I made him tell me the story about when he almost chopped his own leg off.

I could tell he was like, I've got to get on here. I've got to get on. I've got fucking five trees to do today. Anyway, yeah, leave us a review wherever you get your pods if you've enjoyed the show as well. That really helps us. Have a great weekend. We'll see you back on Monday.
