Donnie, Donnie, Donnie. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, Donnie. Welcome to the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson, joined by Mr. Luke Moore,
Starting point is 00:00:32 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.
Starting point is 00:00:45 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...
Starting point is 00:00:54 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.
Starting point is 00:01:07 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,
Starting point is 00:01:30 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
Starting point is 00:01:45 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
Starting point is 00:01:54 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
Starting point is 00:02:03 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.
Starting point is 00:02:15 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
Starting point is 00:02:26 and I'd be working we'll go to the community centre now be working in the Sue Ryder
Starting point is 00:02:31 shop round the corner volunteering exactly just take my top off in dinner hour
Starting point is 00:02:37 come on Peter back in you've got board games to categorise yeah how have you
Starting point is 00:02:44 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.
Starting point is 00:02:55 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.
Starting point is 00:03:12 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
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:35 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
Starting point is 00:03:44 for college football. Oh mate. And how he had the choice in the last year to return for senior year or just
Starting point is 00:03:50 fuck off to the NFL. For big money. Yeah. Wild isn't it? It's Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
Starting point is 00:03:56 The big house is one of the bigger ones isn't it? That holds 107,000 people. That's Glastonbury. That was Glastonbury
Starting point is 00:04:03 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?
Starting point is 00:04:11 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?
Starting point is 00:04:28 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
Starting point is 00:04:44 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,
Starting point is 00:05:03 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
Starting point is 00:05:19 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.
Starting point is 00:05:34 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.
Starting point is 00:05:51 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?
Starting point is 00:06:01 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.
Starting point is 00:06:17 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,
Starting point is 00:06:29 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,
Starting point is 00:06:36 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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
Starting point is 00:06:57 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,
Starting point is 00:07:11 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
Starting point is 00:07:27 a wee lass and she nightly conversations yeah like proper but what kind of what platform
Starting point is 00:07:34 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
Starting point is 00:07:41 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?
Starting point is 00:07:50 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,
Starting point is 00:08:01 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...
Starting point is 00:08:09 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?
Starting point is 00:08:17 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...
Starting point is 00:08:33 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.
Starting point is 00:08:52 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
Starting point is 00:09:05 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
Starting point is 00:09:15 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
Starting point is 00:09:24 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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
Starting point is 00:09:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Oh, that is stressful. Yeah. Yeah. And then, um... Later. I think it just fizzled out. Still later. I think, yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:59 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.
Starting point is 00:10:13 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
Starting point is 00:10:25 this other girl but she was really into boys in the year above and I'd repeated six years so I
Starting point is 00:10:31 was 22 that was a good noise that was a sriracha noise remember that was the tuna
Starting point is 00:10:39 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.
Starting point is 00:10:46 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.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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.
Starting point is 00:11:02 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.
Starting point is 00:11:12 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.
Starting point is 00:11:21 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
Starting point is 00:11:34 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
Starting point is 00:11:52 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.
Starting point is 00:12:04 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.
Starting point is 00:12:14 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.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah, no. Sooner or later that dog's going to tell her and go, were you legally adopted? Were you legally
Starting point is 00:12:31 adopted, yeah. Absolutely. So I'm retired and I have... Do you think your dog wishes you would go away to war?
Starting point is 00:12:39 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
Starting point is 00:12:46 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
Starting point is 00:12:54 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
Starting point is 00:13:00 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
Starting point is 00:13:07 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
Starting point is 00:13:15 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
Starting point is 00:13:24 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
Starting point is 00:13:31 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
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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.
Starting point is 00:14:01 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...
Starting point is 00:14:19 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?
Starting point is 00:14:30 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!
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:14:49 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,
Starting point is 00:15:12 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
Starting point is 00:15:38 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?
Starting point is 00:16:11 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.
Starting point is 00:16:32 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
Starting point is 00:16:47 he must have thought oh shit so what did you do with the grounding wire well it originally it originally
Starting point is 00:16:56 had a what do you call it like a fader or a dimmer switch it had one installed but it was an old one
Starting point is 00:17:03 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
Starting point is 00:17:12 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?
Starting point is 00:17:21 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.
Starting point is 00:17:30 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.
Starting point is 00:17:44 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.
Starting point is 00:17:56 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
Starting point is 00:18:03 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.
Starting point is 00:18:12 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,
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:37 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
Starting point is 00:18:55 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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

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?
Starting point is 00:19:33 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.

Starting point is 00:20:56 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.
Starting point is 00:21:13 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
Starting point is 00:21:32 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.
Starting point is 00:21:53 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
Starting point is 00:22:07 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
Starting point is 00:22:15 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
Starting point is 00:22:22 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
Starting point is 00:22:30 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
Starting point is 00:22:38 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
Starting point is 00:22:48 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,
Starting point is 00:23:01 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
Starting point is 00:23:12 so there's only I think there's five questions there's lots of signs in Chinese telling people not to
Starting point is 00:23:21 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.
Starting point is 00:23:27 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?
Starting point is 00:23:42 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
Starting point is 00:23:57 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.
Starting point is 00:24:17 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
Starting point is 00:24:28 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
Starting point is 00:24:36 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.
Starting point is 00:24:48 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
Starting point is 00:25:06 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.
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:25:43 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
Starting point is 00:25:57 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.
Starting point is 00:26:10 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
Starting point is 00:26:21 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?
Starting point is 00:26:36 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
Starting point is 00:26:46 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?
Starting point is 00:26:54 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
Starting point is 00:27:02 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
Starting point is 00:27:10 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
Starting point is 00:27:17 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.
Starting point is 00:27:28 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?
Starting point is 00:27:46 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
Starting point is 00:27:54 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
Starting point is 00:28:00 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
Starting point is 00:28:07 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
Starting point is 00:28:15 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
Starting point is 00:28:22 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
Starting point is 00:28:41 There we go. See you Monday. That's up. I love so well. There we go. See you Monday. Ta-ta. The Luke and Pete Show is a Stack Production and part of the Acast Creator Network.
