Welcome to the Luke and Pete Show.
I'm Pete Donaldson, joined by Mr. Luke Moore,
and I am...
I've got a rather funny throat
because I put too much sriracha in my tuna salad.
Yeah, you shouldn't be eating tuna at work.
That's number one.
No.
You also had your top off in the corridor earlier,
which I wasn't expecting.
It's a bank holiday Monday.
I don't care, mate.
I don't give a shit.
This is Thursday's show.
It's bank holiday Thursday, mate.
Yeah, exactly.
Every day's a bank holiday for you.
The problem with this...
You will not go to banks.
The problem with this building is
that there are too many young women
in the corridors
that I can't take my top off.
So on bank holiday Thursdays,
I have to
to feel free in my body.
Is that you in the structural building meeting earlier?
Listen, we'll get to that in a minute.
The problem with this building is...
I can't take my top off.
See, sludge in the pipes.
I really want to talk about the environmental sustainability,
how it intersects with the architecture,
and how I can take my, I'm going to be honest,
five pound Primark t-shirt off.
Just in the middle of, rude,
I think it might be actually top man or something,
from back in the day when I was thinner,
I am just loving the freedom.
When the building's a little bit more quiet,
it feels like it's
you've got
a day off school
risky business
I feel like I'm in the building
and I shouldn't be in the building
and I'm having a naughty time
but what are you doing
that's naughty specifically?
stealing
producer Charlie's sriracha
and putting lords on it
on my tuna salad
taking your shirt off
and telling everyone
everyone who'll come past
about your moles
which I did hear you do
I did yeah
I've got some new moles I've got some new moles.
I've got some new moles,
and I was like,
that's never the word you want to hear.
I think there might be sunspots, though.
In 15 years' time,
you'll be outside a train station doing that.
I've got new moles.
I've got pneumonia.
I've got to top off.
It's all right, everyone.
Peter, do you want to put your
t-shirt back
on
yeah
and I'd be
working
we'll go to
the community
centre now
be working
in the
Sue Ryder
shop round
the corner
volunteering
exactly
just take my
top off
in dinner
hour
come on
Peter
back in
you've got
board games
to categorise
yeah
how have you
been
Lukey Mo it's not bad yeah two lads talking in the room yeah what's been You've got board games to categorise. Yeah. Oh, have you been looking, Mo?
It's not bad.
It's a looking picture.
Yeah, it's two lads talking in a room.
Yeah, what's been going on with you?
Oh, I watched a programme last night
about an NFL player and an invisible girlfriend.
Oh, yeah, it's supposed to be good, Netflix.
It's really good.
Is it called Untold?
Yes, I believe it's a Players' Tribune joint of some kind,
and they do a lot of different stories,
but I think the one that's out at the moment is about a Hawaiian...
It's called The Girlfriend That Didn't Exist, right?
The Girlfriend That Didn't Exist.
Yeah, he was just basically catfished.
And I don't think The Girlfriend necessarily was that sorry about things.
It's Manti Teo, though.
He was a really good NFL player.
And testament to
losing a bit of weight
in the face
and getting a nice haircut
it does a world of good
he played for Notre Dame
which is my
American family's
college team
ah they were shit
but then he joined
and they were good again
they are sometimes
pretty good
it kind of ebbs and flows
it's astonishing
I know we've said it before
but it is astonishing
to see how big
those goddamn stadiums are
for college
football.
Oh mate.
And how he had
the choice in the
last year to
return for senior
year or just
fuck off to the
NFL.
For big money.
Yeah.
Wild isn't it?
It's Michigan
Stadium in
Ann Arbor.
The big house
is one of the
bigger ones isn't
it?
That holds 107,000
people.
That's Glastonbury.
That was Glastonbury
20 years ago.
Yeah. Glastonbury is a funny Glastonbury 20 years ago. Yeah.
Glastonbury's a funny one, isn't it?
Because...
Not in a stadium.
No.
The facilities might be better.
Would people still go?
Yes.
If it was in Michigan?
It's Michigan, Glastonbury, everyone.
Yeah.
I want to go and watch the interpretive theatre.
Well, you fucking can't.
Have another hot dog and watch some men hitting each other.
Yeah, so what were we talking about?
Was it good? I've not seen it. It's very
good. It's very interesting how someone
can... It's
kind of sad because a man
who just felt such
loneliness at what should have
been the most satisfying, gratifying part
of his career, moving from college football
to the NFL,
just found it very hard to get started
because he had this kind of secret
that he was only trying to figure out himself,
who he'd been kind of,
he'd been taken advantage of
by another person from Hawaii.
And yeah, I just didn't,
I just didn't think,
the way that she spoke she's transgender so
all of the people in the show didn't
know at the time that she had transitioned
so it was very much he did this
he did that but she
seemed like she sort of spoke
about her
what she did as more of like her journey
and sort of like this is how
this is the things I learned
about the things I did.
And it seemed to really affect him
and the whole hoo-ha
really did not seem to affect her
quite so much.
He seemed absolutely as well crumbled.
But she catfished him.
Yes, she catfished him.
She pretended to be,
she'd take pictures from a girl from Florida,
a Hawaiian, I think, who'd moved.
And yeah, she didn't seem quite as...
He's still really affected by it.
I think so, yeah.
It's pretty sad.
Yeah, the things we have to go through.
Why is she not being held accountable then?
Well, I think she was held accountable.
Oh, right.
It was quite a long time ago.
It was 10 years ago, wasn't it?
Right, okay.
But she moved to somewhere in the Polynesia or something.
I don't know.
She went to Tonga, I think.
I don't know.
She went somewhere.
And yeah, she seems to be quite content with her life.
And the way she talks about what she did is just very much.
And then I did this.
And I'm not proud of it,
but I learned quite a lot of lessons about myself.
And I'm like, yeah, it's pretty rough stuff, isn't it?
I mean, you killed a woman twice.
Something like that.
That is,
so there's a podcast,
I've not seen it,
I will watch it.
I saw it come up on my algorithm.
It's very Sweet Bobby-ish.
It's very,
well,
I was going to say,
Sweet Bobby's an incredible story,
really.
Yeah.
It's just,
if you want something to be true.
Come on,
it's a rival company,
let's be honest,
Tortoise Media.
It's more just kind of,
it's more just kind of,
you know, when you see people sort sort of I didn't get the feeling that
he was massively taken advantage of
I just thought
kids just don't have any sort of relationships do they
they're just like
good morning darling
I love you bye
they don't talk about anything
it's like
kids have the shittiest relationships
there's nothing happening
when we were kids when I was a kid,
I was too scared to talk to any girls.
Well, if you were in a relationship with them,
presumably you would.
I wasn't in a relationship when I was a kid.
I had my first girlfriend until I was about, I don't know.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe.
But not really anything that you would identify as a girlfriend now.
I would have nightly conversations with a lass in particular
a lass
a wee lass
and
she
nightly conversations
yeah
like proper
but what kind of
what platform
the home phone
the home phone
the stair phone
the phone on the stairs
what was her name
just give us her first name
ma'am can you put the phone
down please
give us her first name
Gemma
Gemma so
would you call up and ask to speak to Gemma
and her dad would answer sometime?
I believe so.
It's mortifying.
Kids don't understand the struggle, do they?
Absolutely mortifying.
They don't understand the struggle.
Exactly.
Try sexting with that.
First of all...
I've got my willy out.
Don't take this there.
You're talking to Gemma,
but you're just talking about general things.
General things.
General things.
Like what?
Just friends.
The TV show Friends, etc.
Yeah.
But we never actually...
Were you dating?
Yeah, kind of, but then...
Did you ask her to be your girlfriend?
Never kissed her.
Did you ask her to be your girlfriend?
I was fucking scared.
Yes, I did.
And she said yes?
Yeah.
That gives you the green light to arrange a kissing encounter, doesn't it?
I know.
And she tried to arrange a couple, but I just was absolutely shit scared.
Too scared. And your asthma, obviously.
I might get too excited
and have an attack.
I can't breathe through my nose, so...
What are you doing to me?
What movie? What are you doing to me?
What is this? Can we not use our
hands? What movie did you go to see at the cinema?
Oh, I don't
know, you know. I can't remember.
Too busy getting frightened about the sexual tension in the air, clearly.
But for you, it wasn't sexual tension.
It was just tension.
No, it was just angina-level tension.
I had the same thing.
He said angina then.
I had the same issue.
I started, quote-unquote, dating a girl in year seven,
and I would ride my
bike around to her
house I think she had
like an older brother
and his mates would
always be around there
and they'd always like
tease me and stuff
what like sort of
going oh yeah yeah
yeah you're hot
stuffed here yeah
that kind of stuff
yeah all I want to do
is play that Super
Mario Brothers on the
Nintendo yeah with
her right okay she
could be Luigi.
Yeah.
Would you say she was your Princess Peach?
I think I probably thought that at the time.
And very much getting past the boys,
her big brother,
would presumably be like Bowser's,
little Bowser's over and around.
Oh, Mario, you're right.
I've got five Bowser's in the living room downstairs.
Got one of those big bullets.
Yeah.
Follow me around the house.
Yeah.
Luke, stop eating the flowers.
You're not going to be able
to fly, boys.
And then I remember
going on holiday
with my parents
and spending the whole holiday
stressing about what I was going to buy her.
Right.
As a present.
Oh, that is stressful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then, um...
Later.
I think it just fizzled out.
Still later.
I think, yeah,
I was only about 11.
Ninja star.
I think I had my 11th birthday
while I was on holiday.
Anyway,
but I wanted to go out with her friend.
Right.
Who was my kind of girlfriend, quote, quote, girlfriend at junior school.
Okay.
Yeah.
Who I had a bit of a thing for all through school, really.
And because obviously those of you who are listening overseas, at this time, at that
time in this country, we'd leave school at 16.
Yeah.
So up until kind of 15, 16 I was
kind of into
this other girl
but she was
really into
boys in the
year above
and I'd
repeated six
years so I
was 22
that was a
good noise
that was a
sriracha noise
remember
that was
the tuna
coming back
anyway but
the girl the
guy she was
into I think
he's in a bad
way these days.
I don't know what she's doing.
But anyway, I'm over it.
One nil, Moa.
It's fine, it's fine.
One nil, Moa.
It's fine.
He's in a bad way this time.
Have I had the last laugh?
Yes, I have.
I've got a bloody lovely wife now,
so I'm fine.
Good, good, fine.
Stop talking about that.
What were we talking about?
Oh, catfishing.
So catfishing.
Becoming an NFL star.
Lukey Moa, right?
You always complain about
when things go wrong in the studio,
but I always watch you
winding the bloody wires
in a really tight way.
It was stress from doing a show with you.
I never thought you were going to say that.
I was bending them
and I'm like,
that's why they break, Lukey.
Do they break?
Yes.
They're broken before I had to buy new ones.
Okay.
Just put the expenses in.
Exorbitant amounts of money.
I heard what the expenses were
and I am pleased I was sitting down for that
goodness me
I know
I sat on my pocket
what do you mean
you must be skint
I am
that's why I put my expense in
I was like shit I've got no money
is that why you're staying up all night with the dog
I am tired today
the dog wasn't well
so I basically got a sit in the front room
and let the back door open
to let the dog in and out sort of thing.
So basically there's someone standing guard
in case a naughty boy comes in.
A bigger boy.
A bigger boy comes in at three o'clock in the morning.
Is it that kind of area?
No, it's not, but I mean,
opportunities to see an open door.
Get a little dog flap, surely. Can you do that? You're talking about Buckley? No, it's not, but I mean, opportunities are still to see. You get a little dog flap, surely.
Can you do that?
You're talking about Buckley?
Yeah, Buckley.
Buckley, you fit for a cat flap.
You get different sized flaps.
I guess so.
Different sized flaps.
You do.
Right, okay.
And I think if you're staying up all night with him,
I think you've earned the right to call him your dog as well.
Yeah, that is fair, actually.
Yeah, and I'm only up because the dog I've accessed.
Yeah,
you put the shift in now.
Yeah,
no.
Sooner or later
that dog's going to
tell her and go,
were you legally
adopted?
Were you legally
adopted,
yeah.
Absolutely.
So I'm retired
and I have...
Do you think your dog
wishes you would
go away to war?
What?
Sit down a bit,
peace.
Like those videos
when the bloke
comes back from war
and he sees his dog again
yeah I love those
would you do a war
just to come back
and have that reaction
yeah
I mean it's over quite quickly
because dogs can't remember stuff
so they're just like
yeah this is brilliant
I'm pleased you're back
but that's as far as it goes
I'm still going to do
a second three
does he do a second
three in the morning
he does sometimes
do a second
can he not get any
can he not get any treatment
what
can he not get any
we've tried loads of stuff
I've given him some of me
malics
some malics
but he's not
he's not uncomfortable
with stuff is he
no
but he will just do
stupid stuff
like eat bread
that he finds
and it's like
why is he finding bread
it's your responsibility
I know I try and drag him away
but he finds it every time
he had a
he had a full slice
of bloody toast
off my plate
yesterday by accident.
He's like,
oh.
By accident?
He knew I was on over
and he took it off my plate
because he knew
I was too tight
to chase after him
and get it out of his mouth.
Well, sit up at the table.
Eat at the table.
I was sitting at the table.
Have you got doors
on your cupboard
in the kitchen?
I've gone outside.
Is it like in Stafflets?
That's another story.
I've been DIYing all weekend.
Is it like in Stafflets Flats
when there's no doors on your ropes? On your ropes. I've been DIYing all weekend. Is it like in Stafflet's Flats when there's no doors, only ropes?
Only ropes.
I've got all the ropes.
Good stuff.
But yeah, so everything's fine.
So you've been doing DIY in the house as well?
DIY in the house, yes.
What have you been doing?
Put up some solar lights in the garden.
They don't work, they're terrible.
Reattached.
Yeah, some of them are, some of them aren't.
I reattached... Yeah, some of them are. Some of them aren't. I reattached a door handle
and I reattached a door
and I rewired a new switch
on a light.
Are you in that situation
where you...
Didn't have a grounding wire.
Had to get the father-in-law
to bring around some wire
because he's a sparky.
He used to be.
Well, he's signing off on your work, isn't he?
Yeah, that's totally checked, isn't it?
Did he have to?
Totally checked.
Did you get him checked?
He got one of those little stickers you put on it.
Did he check it for you?
It's only a light switch.
Come on.
But I think...
Come on!
How does he...
Come on!
How does your father-in-law square the circle?
He's an electrician and professional.
He knows you.
Yeah.
Yeah, he exists in a world where you're doing electrical work.
I'll say, Frank, you've not practiced for like 20 years so well 10 years
you you won't be up to date with all of the certificates so we're both really just you know
we're just having to go out we really frank is it like like in a wild west movie where a new
outlaw walks into town you just got a pair of, what are they called?
Bolt crimpers.
Yeah, crimpers.
Did I ever tell you the story about the guy?
I have told this story.
I apologise to our listeners,
but I promise you I have not told this story.
A Tongan man getting electrocuted in a wall.
Yeah.
That was fucking,
that was one of the most insane things I've ever seen.
I literally thought of that man as I was doing the operation.
He got blown about 10 feet across the room.
It was, I thought thought my initial thought was what has done that right i knew it was i knew he'd electrocuted himself yeah but i i never knew the reaction would be like that i thought it would
just be like a yeah okay on the cartoon i think it's just your it was a bang i think it's your
muscles isn't it it's not like an explosion it's just your muscles all contract at the same time which obviously it's like jumping
jumping in the air isn't it you know when you say you know they say that people who are drowning in
real life they don't wave they're just like that ah right okay because they're tired so it's quite
hard to it's quite hard to so it's quite hard to notice they're drowning because they're not doing anything.
So they might just be relaxing or whatever.
And people think they're waving.
Hence the saying, is that person waving or drowning?
It's kind of the electrocution, how it played out in my mind was different to what I was
expecting.
Well, I knew that because obviously, so I needed a grounding wire and I didn't have
any spare wire kicking around. So I said, Frank, can you needed a grounding wire and I didn't have any spare wire kicking around.
So I said, Frank, can you give me some wire?
And I installed it.
He didn't ask you what it was for?
Well, yeah, I said it was for a light switch.
And he's like, oh, Jesus Christ.
He probably says in his mind.
And I wired it up and after I went, Frank,
so that grounding wire, it's basically to take the electricity
back down to the ground rather than through you
which is basically asking
what a grounding wire
was for
he must have thought
oh shit
so what did you do
with the grounding wire
well
it
originally
it originally
had a
what do you call it
like a fader
or a
dimmer switch
it had one
installed
but it was an old one
that didn't
can't play with LEDs
properly
so it kind of flickers
on the switch
so I had to connect
but this one was metal
on the front
so you've got to ground it
to the grounding wire
as well as the back
you know the little
back sockety bit
everything has to be grounded
did it work?
I'm still here aren't I?
are you staying grounded
after your success?
I'm staying grounded
after my success
got both feet on the floor you will get electrocuted exactly is that why birds I'm still here, aren't I? Are you staying grounded after your success? I'm staying grounded after my success.
Got both feet on the floor?
You will get electrocuted.
Exactly.
Is that why birds can sit on little power lines then?
What, because they're not touching the floor?
I guess so, yeah.
And also they're not very heavy.
I don't think that counts.
Does it?
No, because if you grab an electrical wire,
you'd be in all kinds of trouble.
Yeah, and I think they're too small for it to affect it. I think.
Surely it would affect them more.
Is that stuff covered?
Like, is that wire like,
courted?
All I know
is you just don't fly
a kite near it.
Yeah.
Because that video
we watched when we were kids.
Yeah.
Maybe they're not courted then.
Presumably that's why.
We're going to be inundated
with emails of people
who actually know stuff.
Let's have a break. When we come back we're going to be inundated with emails of people who actually know stuff. Let's have a break.
When we come back,
we're going to go through
your latest three submissions
of battery brands
to see if we can enter some new players
into the game.
Believe it or not,
and you need to believe it
because it's true,
we're still finding them.
See you in a minute.
I want to believe.
This is the Mulder and Scully
of the podcast world,
Pete Donaldson and Luke Moore.
I'm Mulder because I love UFOs.
And you don't believe me.
I'm fucking sexy.
And I'm just endlessly sexy.
Oh, I've just looked at the battery.
Oh, gross.
Hello, Luke and Pete.
I'm Joseph.
First time email, long time listener.
It is with great honour that I present to you a battery,
which I believe must be a new player.
I found it in a remote while digging up the garden.
Don't ask how it got there or why I was digging up the garden.
I promise I'm not a murderer.
I present AAA Micropower, and it's in an old battery pack
that is... It's seen better days, hasn't it?
It's absolutely honking.
It's leaked, isn't it?
Yeah.
Micropower, I'm afraid to say to you, Joseph,
is not a new player.
The first one
was sent in by John
John Cairdy
John Cairdy
JFK
who got the remedy
who got the remedy
on the 19th of May 2018
hello everyone
is that your impression
of John Cairdy
the new music guy on XFM
hello everyone
nice man though
he's a nice man isn't he
lovely bloke
there is a documentary
about XFM coming out
I believe
are you in it are you no no they didn't ask you to be a talk in here first couple of years so obviously they just deal Lovely blog. There is a documentary about XFM coming out, I believe.
Are you in it, are you?
No, no.
They didn't ask you to be a talker?
First couple of years.
So obviously they just deal with Gervais and Merchant and stuff.
They just want the main ones, do they?
Yeah.
I'm sure Gervais didn't want to do the interview with his old boss because his old boss is difficult to work with sometimes.
Who is he?
I'm not going to get into it.
Can't name him for legal reasons.
Tell me later. I'll tell you later. Yeah, okay? I'm not going to get into it. Can't name him. For legal reasons. Tell me later.
I'll tell you later.
Yeah, okay, fine.
Evening, Luke and or Pete.
Nick has got in touch.
Hope this email finds you well.
I recently bought a cheap kitchen timer.
You're a cheap kitchen timer, mate.
And its first act was to check the batteries.
Hope this is a new player,
as I don't recall hearing them before.
Kay Rector.
Welcome to the party, Rector. Extra heavy duty. Extra heavy duty. It's a new player, as I don't recall hearing them before. K Rector. Welcome to the party, Rector.
Extra heavy duty.

Hello there.
I recently changed the batteries,
recently changed the batteries
in my scales in the bathroom
when I came across
a potential new player.
I've only been listening
for just under a year,
so apologies if they've been
submitted before.
Don't worry about that, Javon.
We've got Dragonhawk Super.
Dragonhawk.
Dragonhawk.
Another new player.
Really?
Yeah.
Two out of three, baby.
Wow.
Wonderful.
Dragon Hawk.
It sounds like you sit around with your mates having a smoke.
Someone goes, I'm starting a business.
It's called Dragon Hawk.
What's it going to do?
We'll start a business that sells grinders and pipes and bongs.
It's called Dragon Hawk.
It's going to have dragons all over the walls.
Yeah.
It sounds like the Far Cry DLC.
Blood Dragon.
Blood Dragon.
Dragonhawk are a new player.
That's two out of three this week, baby.
It's lovely.
Two out of three.
Right, Peter.
I've got something for you.
Yes, please.
So we talked a bit about, back in the day about um crimes we're just
talking about crimes okay and we talked about how i think you mentioned something around oh that's
not a crime well you can't do this this is a crime yeah and so i said so i said be great if a police
officer listening to this could do pete a crime and punishment or crime and law and order quiz to see how
much Pete does actually know about the law of the land.
Yes.
Okay.
Nice.
So, hello to you, PC Gordon.
Hello, PC Gordon.
Who's emailed in saying, don't allow Pete to read this as it will ruin the game.
So, I was confused because it just said PC Gordon there.
Yeah.
And then it went on to another email.
I was like, what's happened here?
I've got the details.
Don't worry about it.
He says after returning from a fantastic time
at the Commonwealth Games
in Birmingham
I have finally managed
to listen to the podcast
to find that you read
out my battery brand email
which brought up
a few questions
and queries
as I've said.
Rather than answering
the questions
I thought I would be
more entertained
to play a theoretical game
and throw some of the
questions back at Pete
allowing him to answer
and then reveal
whether he's correct.
I've added a few
light-hearted police trivia questions
based on what was asked
and discussed
when you read out
my email previously.
This is the sort of content
we should be caught up with.
It's fantastic
that he's done that.
Thank you.
So PC Gordon would like
to add a disclaimer
saying the questions
and answers are based
on a police force
that is based in the North West
and may not apply
to all forces across England and Wales but for the a police force that is based in the North West. Right. And may not apply to all forces across England and Wales,
but for the particular police service
that PC Gordon's a part of.
Right.
These are correct.
So these are all going to be crimes about,
I don't know,
scouts and, I don't know,
don't pick cockles there.
Don't,
what do people do in the North West?
I'm not going to answer that. Because I don't know where you're going the north west I'm not going to
answer that
because I don't know
where you're going with it
it's not
but mainly related to you
right okay
so there's only
I think there's
five questions
there's lots of
signs
in Chinese
telling
people not to
pick cockles
where we are
yeah that's
Morkham Bay
oh it's Leon C
yeah interesting okay so the first one is a little one easy one to ease you in question one people not to pick cockles where we are. Yeah, that's Morecambe Bay. Oh, it's Leoncia.
Leoncia, yeah.
Interesting.
Okay, so the first one's a little one,
easy one to ease you in.
Question one.
Do police officers still refer to themselves and other police officers as, quote,
bobbies?
Yeah, because it's the peelers, isn't it?
Old Bobby Peel.
All right, where's the button?
Here we go.
Yes, correct.
Bobbies are still referred to by police officers.
Not a noise I've heard in Luke's game.
No, exactly.
Enjoyable.
Question two.
Can a hot air balloon be removed by police
for landing on farmland and causing an obstruction
preventing the farmer from being able to farm their land?
I'm going to say yes in this one, because yes.
Because you're stopping him from utilising his land.
What?
You can't.
Police officer cannot because the vehicle is on private land
and not a public highway.
Ah, that's it.
Of course.
Police do not have the power to seize the vehicle
for causing an obstruction on private land.
It will be on the owner of the land to arrange
and pay for the removal
of the vehicle from within it.
I guess the exception
would be if there was
a probable cause
or a warrant
or something like that.
Or he squished someone.
So that's wrong.
Question number three.
Is it a crime
to trespass into someone's loft
and accidentally put your foot
through the ceiling?
I've earned my ding.
I think it's a yes.
I think it is.
Well, you're kind of...
Yes.
And because it depends on what you do after you've done it.
If you tell the owner of a damage afterwards
and explain it was an accident and it's not a crime,
if you do it and then do not tell the owner,
it's yes, it's a crime,
because the person who's caused the damage
has neglected to tell the owner of the damage.
It may be considered criminal damage due to recklessness
unless the person who caused it can prove they went to reasonable lengths
to tell the owner but was unable to for any reason.
Put it on a podcast, mate.
However, Pete can relax, apparently, according to PC Gordon,
knowing that a crime for criminal damage can only be confirmed
by a victim of the damage and everything otherwise is considered hearsay.
So you're okay anyway.
Here we go, question number four.
I like learning that my crimes
are actually crimes.
It's nice.
Will he change his ways? Tune in next week to find out.
Question four, you've parked on someone's property in your car.
The owner has clamped your car,
stopping you from getting your lawfully owned car.
You break the wheel clamp
in order to be able to take your property back
and drive off in your car.
Is breaking the wheel clamp
to retrieve your own property
from someone else's land
a crime for criminal damage?
Yeah, because it's private land.
Yeah, that's just between
you and the owner.
So you can't clamp someone's shit.
No, are you breaking the law
for taking the boot off?
Yeah.
No.
Get,
ah, get the sigh out.
Section 5 of the Criminal Damage Act 1971
states,
without lawful excuse,
a motorist who damages a wheel clamped
to free his car,
having parked on another's property,
knowing the risk of being clamped,
does not have a lawful excuse
under that act.
Your final question is question five.
The hit movie Hot Fuzz is a running joke
that when a police officer makes a mistake,
it results in a cake fine.
Do cake fines exist in the real policing world?
What's a cake fine?
What was the cake fine?
I make a mistake,
so I buy you a cake to say sorry.
Ah, okay.
I'm going to say yes.
I reckon they do.
There we go.
Small and silly mistakes
do result in cake fines
in the police service.
Donuts are also acceptable.
That's like a football club,
isn't it?
Yeah.
A football team.
Little fines,
they're monetary, aren't they?
Damaging a police vehicle
or accidentally handcuffing
your colleague to the offender
while wrestling with him
on the floor
can result in a cake fine.
There we go.
And PC Gordon puts
a little thing at the end
saying all serious errors
made by police officers
that affect the public
are of course
automatically referred
to the professional
standards branch
and independent office
for police conduct
and they get a big
wedding cake
oh no you get a big cake
you get a big wedding cake
I can't remember
how well you did there Pete
I suspect it was not very well
no
but we at least know
you live the life
you purport to live
and you run roughshod
over all society's laws
and rightly so, I think.
I wouldn't know how to get a boot off a car, to be fair.
So I would never commit that atrocity,
but the rest of them, I'm very much in the dock for that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You haven't landed a hot air balloon or something like that, have you?
I have, but I wasn't in charge of it.
Could you get a good hot air balloon off eBay, do you reckon?
Oh, no, you can get a bad one
see how well
that one flies
I guess
if you got a bad balloon
you know almost
immediately
that it's not a good one
yeah
that's why I thought
it was weird
that we said before
when people shoot
try and shoot them
because if you don't
want it on your land
don't shoot it
because the hot air
is going to come out of it
and it's going to land
so if anything
you want to set a fire
yeah
fantastic enough
well peace of God
thank you very much
for that little
what the hell was that
in my pocket
what is that
it's an umbrella cover
a big red umbrella cover
I've never seen you
with an umbrella
fuck you now
well you've seen me
with an umbrella
alright we'll be back
on Monday
for more of this
happy September everyone
it is indeed September now so autumn is on its way.
And if you're a fan of autumn like I am,
in fact, you should be a fan of autumn, I think.
Autumn days when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well
There we go.
See you Monday.
That's up. I love so well. There we go. See you Monday. Ta-ta.
