Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back to the Luke and Pete show. It is Monday the 25th of April. I've slept well through April. I don't mind admitting, Luke. Yeah. I don't know what that helps. Sticks up your bum and all sorts. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:00:23 I got back from St Lucia in February no in March early March well middle of March no late March you got back
Starting point is 00:00:32 late March yeah nah middle of March that now middle of March got back and then spent a weekend
Starting point is 00:00:38 doing four rambles and then went back to the same time zone plus one because we we changed like the 20les and then went back to the same time zone, plus one, because we'd changed, like the 20th, and then went back about four days later and went to Dallas for WrestleMania,
Starting point is 00:00:54 which I'm sure we'll come on to. And it's melted my brain, to be honest. It's absolutely ruined me. I don't know where I am. You know, like, if you... I don't know if you would know this, but if you cook up, like, fry up bone marrow... Yeah where I am. You know, like, if you, I don't know if you would know this, but if you cook up, like, fry up bone marrow, if you cook it for long enough, it just disappears into nothing.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Yeah. That's your brain. If it keeps melting, if it keeps melting, there's going to be nothing left. Yeah. Why are you using such a visceral liquid slash solid as bone marrow. That's disgusting. I only knew that because I saw an episode of MasterChef where the guy cooked it for a bit too long and it got really small.
Starting point is 00:01:32 So with bone marrow, they carve it out and you cook it. You just kind of scoop it out, don't you? Yeah, it's just kind of like an oily... Salty. Salty, kind of gristly. I don't know what it's about, really. I've only ever had it a couple of times, but I'm not know what it's about really I've only ever had it a couple of times
Starting point is 00:01:46 I'm not sure what you know what it's playing at to be honest The Luke and Pete show is the bone marrow of podcasts for sure exactly
Starting point is 00:01:53 anyway what's new with you Petey Pants little Pete as you called yourself last week little pissy pants what's going on yeah just back
Starting point is 00:01:59 went to Wrestlemania came back that was a lot of fun Mark you'll be able to listen to our output over on the Wrestle Me Patreon Went to WrestleMania, came back. That was a lot of fun. Mark, you'll be able to listen to our output over on the WrestleMe Patreon. But me and Mark went to see about nine wrestling shows over about four or five days. I bet Mark was loving it, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:02:18 Mark was loving it. I was surprised how much of a fucking Mark I am now. I'm like, that was the best weekend ever. The best week ever, and, Mark was, you know, obsessed with,
Starting point is 00:02:30 legendary, Mexican stars, like, like, King Puma, and, and people like that, and,
Starting point is 00:02:37 and, and, you know, legendary stars from the past, and stuff that he saw, I was obsessed by a wrestler, I saw wrestling for a Mexican division, called Mr. Iguana though, Mr. Iguana? Yeah. Mr. Iguana?
Starting point is 00:02:46 Yeah, I think he was expecting me to have a spiritual experience with some of the best lucha libre wrestlers in the world. But what actually happened was I fell in love with a man called Microman, who's the son of Kimonito, the tiny wrestler from Mexico and also a man called Mr. Iguana who wrestles with a puppet iguana in his mouth What? And so is this like little fringe shows around the main WrestleMania event?
Starting point is 00:03:17 So WrestleMania descends on Dallas and it's the AT&T Centre out in Fort Worth Is it the dallas cowboys that way they play you know at one of those stadiums that all you only see in america you know 100 000 uh capacity and and just just everything you could buy everything it's like a big shopping center you know i was eating philly cheese steaks after frozen daiquiris after you know not your usual pint of mild pint of stellar you know kind of fucking
Starting point is 00:03:46 sessions oh it was amazing to just to see the difference between the two um and uh but like running concurrently running parallel to this there are a load of like indie wrestling shows so there'll be federations from south of the border there'll be federations from puerto rico there'll be federations from uh from rico there'll be federations from uh from america indie indie federations your your ring of honor which is now owned by aw uh you had um effies a big gay brunch i went to that was good it was like um it was a it was basically a federation full of lgbtq plus uh and ally uh wrest basically. Everyone's either gay or a pretty vocal ally of it all. And when you arrive, they give you a mimosa.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So would you like a mimosa? I sat there watching the wrestling with a mimosa. And it was a really sort of lovely experience, that show in particular. It was all these sort of people who were, you know, in places like Mexico and stuff, like they were outlaws in the 80s and the 90s where they worked.
Starting point is 00:04:49 They were dressed as like, they're called exoticos, and they either cross-dress or they're trans or whatever, and there's a real culture of those kind of wrestlers in Mexico, and it got reignited in the 80s and the 90s, and now it's pretty flourishing. So to see these people who'd gone through so much in the 80s and the 90s to do what they do south of the border in America, in Dallas,
Starting point is 00:05:15 was really, really heartening and really humbling. So me and Mark, I think it's because of the jet lag, we're just absolutely in tears all the time. Just two men crying at wrestling. Really? Because I heard that when I spoke to Adam Durrell of the Offensive fame, he's a big wrestling fan. He said that when I told him you were going, he said,
Starting point is 00:05:35 oh, WWE's on its arse at the moment. It's really shit. And they'll get a lot more joy out of the fringe events because that's where all the fun stuff is. So that's basically you ended up doing right yeah but to be fair ross and many was it was a real surprise that day one certainly was um was fucking insanely good like it was insanely good because they're not creating any new stars um so they have to bring back people like stone called steve austin and uh there was a bit in that which was absolutely ridiculous vince mcmahon what the fuck is going on but i can't believe people watch that and go saw that there was a bit in that which was absolutely ridiculous with Vince
Starting point is 00:06:05 McMahon what the fuck is going on I can't believe people watch that and go oh that's good it's crap
Starting point is 00:06:12 there's a lovely clip of I mean he's 76 I mean Jesus Christ yeah what was he doing in
Starting point is 00:06:17 the ring I'd love it if football did that yeah imagine yeah just kind of Carlos Valderrama
Starting point is 00:06:24 just creaking onto the field i remember him he had big hair that's crazy yeah it's all it's all uh yeah it's all it's all very silly and all it's not very grown up but uh it was really enjoyed there were some good news stories and stuff bianca belair uh is i think i think seeing watching wrestling in in the uk it's i said this on the podcast, it's very white and it's very middle class and it's very male. So I think seeing young black families
Starting point is 00:06:52 absolutely cheering their bollocks off for people like Bianca Belair at WrestleMania was like, it was a real bit of an eye-opener really because there aren't many black female athletes out there. I know it's sport entertainment,, I mean, fuck me, she does what she does. It's predetermined, but it's not fake. She's an astonishing athlete.
Starting point is 00:07:14 But watching them just absolutely tear their hair out when they think she's going to lose and stuff, it was just, again, me and Matt were in tears because it was just so fucking cool so pete changed the subject slightly and did you see that story about the guy who um set up a um set up a business selling forged uh covid vaccination cards to people who didn't want to get the vaccine oh right okay yes and so he he um he's 60 this guy is in germany yeah but in order to set up the business to make it work he basically had to get all the all the vaccinations himself so i don't really know
Starting point is 00:07:58 how this is possible yeah the health care system they should know how many he's had but apparently he ends up having 90 covid shots to get all the batch numbers he needed. To which I was just thinking, not worth it. No, just no. I mean, surely he could get that information somewhere else. But he's not been kind of released what's actually happened to him, what the physical effects of those 90 COVID shots, nine zero COVID shots have had on him.
Starting point is 00:08:23 But I presume it will manifest itself in the next Marvel movie or something but I mean I'd love to know if anyone knows what it would be like to have that many
Starting point is 00:08:31 that many covid shots in a row because he apparently went to like as many different vaccination centres in the state of Germany
Starting point is 00:08:40 where he's from to get them done and he got he got reported for like weird behavior or something and then when they when they arrested him he had loads of blank vaccination cards on him which he was going to put the batch numbers in to sell to people yeah i love the idea that people have these entrepreneurial ideas but like actually it just involves a tremendous amount of self
Starting point is 00:08:58 sacrifice yeah i don't like i don't care how much you're getting no one's paying more than 50 quid so what are you getting out of that, really? I mean, that's insane. What's the most you reckon you could get? You reckon you can get more than 50 quid? I mean, I just always think people who are really into this, into being obtuse, you know, you're a conspiracy theorist, you're, for whatever reason, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:24 people who who say no to stuff they're never really well off i don't know it's interesting isn't it because the people who there clearly is a crossover between different kind of conspiracy slash i mean i don't want to bracket them up because maybe it's unhelpful. But for example, if you... So here's an example then, right? So the other day, I was walking back through London. I went for a meeting at ACAST. They do the podcast stuff with us.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And they're on the Strand, right? For those who know London, I walked from the Strand to Vauxhall. So from central London to south London. Not very far, probably about an hour. I wanted to get my steps in, you know, the usual business. And I walked past three different protests right yeah now one was about about the appalling thing that's happening in ukraine it's kind of understandable you'd expect that to happen right another one was an extinction rebellion protest outside the shell building near waterloo
Starting point is 00:10:20 where about 10 people had um glued themselves to the pavement outside the front door. Right, okay. That's Extinction Rebellion's thing, right? That's the kind of thing they're up to. There were several hundred people there. And then, weirdly, these are three separate protests in three separate parts of London. The third one was, like, a surprisingly well-attended
Starting point is 00:10:41 Free Julian Assange protest. Oh, right, okay. Even though that was still a thing you think they'd have but they'd have moved on to other stuff or is that kind of like if that's your if you're really into the the rolling stones you go on to um enjoying the who but you're still going to go to rolling stones concerts i don't know this is this is bringing me to what i was going to say so the free julian assange people were basically the same people I saw a number of weeks ago at anti-COVID march in town. It was the same people.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah. Right. It was almost like a lot of them looked like quite damaged people who had taken too many drugs in the 90s. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it's like basically that's essentially that. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:24 But the Extinction Rebellion ones were slightly different. okay yeah yeah yeah so it's like basically that's essentially that right but the the extinction rebellion ones were were slightly slightly different but on the fringes of it were those types of people as well yeah and my point was just being the point was just going to be it like it seems to be the same type of people who are susceptible to that kind of thing if you know what i mean i'm not criticizing them what i mean i probably am criticizing the anti-covid people and and and the julian Assange one's a weird one to try and work out, my brain can't really process it,
Starting point is 00:11:48 because I don't really get what the motivation is, and I don't really understand what they're so passionate, I don't really know how you look at Julian Assange and go, I'm really passionate about this man. Yeah, I could understand it a few years ago, but now... I'm talking to you, Padma Anderson. Yeah, interesting. i can't imagine anybody
Starting point is 00:12:07 turning out from these days it's all of it this was this was usual this was usual me though because i i did exactly what you wouldn't do which is i was like getting right amongst it having a look seeing what was going on and and um yeah i find that whole thing quite interesting the extinction rebellion thing's funny because like i don't really understand what because people people will say oh you know they're protesting about climate change but they shouldn't be disrupting people on their way to work and it's like do you know what protest fucking entails like whether you agree with it or not you do understand they're not really going to get the change they're after yeah they just sit in their own houses well that's what i mean you know the
Starting point is 00:12:44 polite ones that go, you know, walk from town to Whitehall was the last one. It was like, you know, you know, Thatcher wouldn't have gone back on the old poll tax if there hadn't been a big fucking riot, you know? Isn't that an uncomfortable truth? That's what Adam Bolton said, isn't it? I was listening to the rest of his politics
Starting point is 00:12:59 the other day, and I think it was Alistair Campbell who said, and that's what Adam Bolton said when he was at Sky. And he got in a lot of trouble for it, because I think he tweeted at the People's Vote March, I think it was alistair campbell said that's what adam bolton said when he was at sky right and he got really got in a lot of trouble for it because i think he tweeted at the people's vote march i think it was yeah he tweeted it's an impressive turnout protest great but it ain't gonna change anything the only thing that changes is riots yeah and it's like he got in a lot of trouble for saying that yeah but actually true yeah you kind of feel like it is true particularly these days with all these laws against protests being changed and all the rest of it. Yeah, I mean, and even then they needed, the thing that started the politics,
Starting point is 00:13:31 didn't a lot of scaffolders leave some poles out near Trafalgar Square or something? Wasn't that the thing that kind of like, they just suddenly had a lot of poles and that was the thing, I mean, poles, poles, different spelling, but they just had a lot of scaffolding material and that was the thing that kind of started,
Starting point is 00:13:46 which I find hilarious that that was how it all sort of kicked off back in the day. That was how it went from kind of a quite febrile protest to a riot, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah. Opportunity. Opportunity, Paul's metal wood. What's the polling like? Pretty good. Pretty good.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Not the kind you want. Absolutely everywhere. So I don't know. I found the whole thing quite interesting. I thought the Julian Assange one, yeah, very, very strange to get your head around. But when... Julian Assange always reminds me, like, remember he was, the Ecuadorian embassy was frustrated with him because he was just being a really, he's just being a bit of a dickhead in there
Starting point is 00:14:26 and he was scuffing up the paint by skateboarding around the Ecuadorian embassy who would have thought it whoever would have thought that I mean I guess it's similar to the way people get really obsessed with Trump right or Farage or Jacob Rees-Mogg you can't look at those people and go
Starting point is 00:14:44 well yeah if you look at those people and go well yeah if you look at those people and go yeah he's they're on my team it kind of probably suggests some kind of cognitive dissonance
Starting point is 00:14:52 or some kind of inability to process what's actually in front of you because you know fair enough if you like what they say but they ain't on
Starting point is 00:14:59 your team mate they are not on your team yeah and just like isn't it weird when they're in trouble
Starting point is 00:15:04 they'll go back to the fucking hits. They'll go back to trans rights or fucking conversion therapy. They'll go back to the hits. They'll go back to the, well, I don't think a trans athlete should be blah, blah, blah. And it's like, yeah, you're in a bit of trouble, aren't you, mate?
Starting point is 00:15:19 We're waiting for the results of the old party game. Oh, you're doing it in recess as well. Oh, well, cool. Jesus Christ. What's your mate Farage up to these days? What's his thing? I don't know. Didn't he move to America?
Starting point is 00:15:30 I think with a lot of these characters, hasn't he kind of griffed over a bit? Is he, right? Okay. Isn't he griffed over a little bit? You get sort of shut down quite quickly in the UK and people quite rightly um message advertisers and and you know and it's the advertisers that pull the advertising that
Starting point is 00:15:52 that forces everyone's hand so i think i do think proper grifters that aren't part of the political elite uh really you know they find it quite difficult to to work these days i think they're still you know still make money here and there but it must be your avenues must be like cut off because you can't do anything serious anymore can you you know i tried to get into cpac the other month yes faraj was at cpac yeah yeah i think he also i just checked his twitter and he's also um really happy for some reason that elon musk is trying Twitter. That's a weird one, by the way. Well, he... Did he get upset about one of his tweets getting censored
Starting point is 00:16:30 or something? I don't know. And some of you saw me at the point today, so I said, we always talk about billionaires shouldn't be taxed and stuff because their money isn't taxed harder because their money isn't liquid. It's all in, you know, bricks all in bricks and mortar and businesses it's not liquid money um so you
Starting point is 00:16:49 can't tax that and it's like well when he wants a fucking bit of an ego stroke he can go ahead and try and fucking by force buy twitter which is just fucking insane behavior yeah but you're talking about i mean tax tax on wealth is different to tax on income though right yeah but like you but that's what i mean so you kind of that but they but they say like the the people keep talking about the liquidity of billionaires and sort of you know their money isn't that liquid but they can when they want to they can fucking turn they can find a bit of money down the back of the sofa to buy twitter what do you think it would be like if i mean is it not part of you i haven't really thought this through because we don't plan these round
Starting point is 00:17:25 orders but which is the old Joe Rogan defence isn't there part of you that thinks it would be fascinating to see what would happen
Starting point is 00:17:33 if Elon Musk did buy Twitter well they're going to have to sell it they're going to have to sell now presumably
Starting point is 00:17:38 he's forced them into either accepting his offer or selling so it's looking very likely that that will indeed be the case. Yeah, it'll be demented because he's the man.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Imagine if he just bought it and shut it down. Because the man's not necessarily, he's not really, his kind of, his shitty business practices has meant that he, all of the other big car manufacturers have got the jump on him with electric vehicles. And he's finding it very difficult to release anything. Have you seen the state of that bloody pickup truck? The Tesla pickup truck that they showed last week.
Starting point is 00:18:15 He's forced to sort of like just do fucking troll stuff, like memes and things. You remember he did that robot, that Tesla robot bollocks. It's just a mannequin with a fucking robot's head on it. It's ridiculous. Does this all come back to the time he had that big row with that guy who developed that submarine to rescue those school kids? Well, I'm just thinking, are you going to be able to on Twitter
Starting point is 00:18:36 are you going to be able to call people paedophiles? That is the question. That's the only reason he's doing it? Yeah, I reckon he just wants to be able to I spoke, I talked about this a couple of weeks ago about buying a bar and Al wanted to dance
Starting point is 00:18:52 he'd been told not to dance on the tables in a pub and he said right I'm going to buy a pub because then I can dance on the tables I was like you don't have to do that just dance literally anywhere else that's not on a table don't spend all that money on a pub. That's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Is that why you were trying to buy that pub near you? I just want to dance on the table. Yes, Alex can dance on the table. I mean, it's a pretty fucking cart before the horse thing. The man wants to dance on the table. What can I say? But yeah, it is. But did you see the Tesla cars are renowned for having terrible finishing.
Starting point is 00:19:23 If you buy a car and body parts are a little bit out of whack it just shows a shoddy build process and you know they should really be doing better i always thought they looked really slick i've never really driven one but i thought they looked really if you if you get close to most um uh american built teslas none of the body parts like line up properly honestly you know it's it's very it's very rare you have one that doesn't have an issue i didn't realize it was that much of a of an issue but apparently uh build quality means that you know everything kind of lines up every bit of plastic every bit of metal should roughly be in line with the adjoining bit of metal you know and it should kind of all fit together and it and there's very little uh kind of um what would you call it like a um a rate of intolerance it's kind of like this
Starting point is 00:20:11 very one centimeter gap at the top of the piece of metal should be one centimeter gap at the end of the metal do you know what i mean when it's sort of joined to to another bit of metal um but teslas they just don't line up the the build quality is a bit shoddy. He's going to sue you for saying that. Mate, sue anyone who's got a Tesla. But they've got a terrible reputation. So they showed this Cybertruck off and it looked like it had been put together. And it's only a prototype,
Starting point is 00:20:38 but for a company that is renowned for having quite poor build quality, this thing had quite poor build quality and and this was like built by hand especially for this show so you think they'd sort of make the panels line up and stuff like that it just seems like it might be a bit of vaporware that they that they never really um they never really released they they sort of released the sort of prototype pictures and stuff of this uh cybertruck and it looked really cool looked like something out of cyberpunk 20 whatever it is and um and then when it actually uh was doing testing someone spotted it um legally you've got to have a windscreen wiper so they've gone for
Starting point is 00:21:15 this massive one windscreen wiper sort of design give it a google it looks fucking hilarious it's massive like the world world's biggest windscreen wiper you've ever seen. It's fucking great. So what do you reckon the plan is here? I don't know. I think at this point
Starting point is 00:21:33 it just obfuscates, confuses, trolls. It's like our government, you know, they can't govern so they just fucking troll. There's just a lot of trolls.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I think, you know, he's a man who's got bored with doing any work. He got, you know, you'd probably sort he's a man who's got bored with doing any doing any work um he got you know you'd probably sort of say that he didn't get lucky with paypal but like you know it was a great product at the right time that and he made an astonishing amount of money out of it so you know well done him but i think sometimes being a one-man fucking maniac who's you know who who doesn't listen to anyone else, it's actually quite difficult, isn't it? Yeah. I find it completely mad how
Starting point is 00:22:08 he tweets stuff which completely changes financial markets and stuff. That is a terrifying thing because that is very much the end of the wedge. Anyway, let's take a quick break because we're way overdue. When we come back the other side of this, we'll be speaking to our special guest this week, Elon
Starting point is 00:22:24 Musk. So don't go anywhere. We'll see you then. We're back with Logan Pet of this we'll be speaking to our special guest this week Elon Musk so don't go anywhere we'll see you then we're back with Logan Peachy I tell you what abroad in Japan Chris Broad looks a little bit like Elon Musk
Starting point is 00:22:32 something that's very amusing he's lost a bit of weight Chris he's upset because he's gained a bit of weight but he'll I mean
Starting point is 00:22:41 if you live in Japan like you it's so easy to eat badly you'd think it'd be really like, it's so easy to eat badly. You'd think it'd be really healthy, but it's so easy to eat badly. And especially the hours he keeps. It's a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Because, like, he's always editing until, like, four o'clock in the morning. Like, I keep telling him, stop drinking coffee. The last time I saw him, he looked very well. I wish him all the very best. He's coming back.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Coming back to London soon. Great, good to hear. Good to hear. Hello at LukeandPeete.com is the email address. We didn't get around to doing any of these on Thursday, so we're going to do at least one or two now. Here's an email from Jay, and this is a follow-up from
Starting point is 00:23:14 my claim a number of episodes ago, Peter, that motorcyclists acknowledge each other on the road. Right, okay. Do you remember we had Vish on around the Honda Jazz business? Yes, that's right. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. i claimed that and people and you guys weren't sure if it could be substantiated but jay's been in touch and um says the following how do you compete in your recent
Starting point is 00:23:33 episode uh entitled busy young thrusting executives you were wondering if it was true with a motorbike still greet one another on the road i can confirm this is still true at least in the areas i have lived in so far which are greater london surrey and northern germany bikers would usually nod at each other or very slightly extend one hand as a greeting when riding past i've seen it with bikers riding any sort of larger uh i.e 125 cc and up bike, no matter the brand. I'm not sure if this also applies to scooter riders, though. Maybe Pete has more insight on that matter. Thanks for all the fun and nonsense. Please keep it up. All the best, Jay.
Starting point is 00:24:13 So that is a lovely example of your little hidden communities that you don't know. If you're not part of it, you don't know it's happening. It's happening right under your nose without you knowing. Do you kind of, I mean, 125cc and up, I mean, that's the maximum my... CBT. My CBT will extend to,
Starting point is 00:24:34 which I think runs out at the end of this year. So, you know, I'll have to sort of figure out how to, I don't know whether to extend it or get rid of my scooter, get a bike or something. I don't know. We had a little, there was like a little moped slash scooter scene in my hometown when I had my little Peugeot scooter. So you would nod to you when you saw people.
Starting point is 00:24:52 It's like quite a cool thing to have one. I actually crashed mine a couple of times. One was I was basically cutting, doing a shortcut across the park to pick up a girl that i was um it had designs over dating designs over um called emma who um i mean that never happened partly because of the story i'm about to tell you um i rode across the park elson park for those who live in the area and know it and it's like a load of football pitches but it's got like a park bit as well right but to get to that little park bit to go across of football pitches, but it's got like a park bit as well. Right. But to get to that little park bit, we had to go across the football pitches.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah. And it was evening time in the summer. But what happened was a dew had set down on the grass. Okay. And I wasn't really aware of that. And so I went full pelt across the football fields. And when I got closer, I slammed the old brakes on to show, yeah, look at me. I always ride fast.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And the whole thing just skidded out from under me. I didn't hurt myself because it skidded along the grass for about 50 meters yeah but um it didn't um it didn't look great right okay and the second one's even more tragic in its own way because that was in the back alley of my house outside the back of my parents house where i lived and i just i was on my own and i just really wanted to see if i could do wheelies it turns out I can't I don't think anyone can on a scooter
Starting point is 00:26:07 can they yeah it ended up on top of me which is not great it's not a great look at all really I'm lucky I survived to tell the tale
Starting point is 00:26:15 I loved having that little moped it was great it was a great little bit of independence yeah oh well look
Starting point is 00:26:20 look after yourself alright are you still riding yours no it's just flat battery in it I keep looking at it going I need to charge that battery but I just got bigger I got bigger there No, it's just flat battery in there. I keep looking at it and going,
Starting point is 00:26:25 I need to charge that battery, but I've got bigger things. There's two things. Every time I come in the house, I pop myself a blowtorch. Is it a blowtorch? Yeah. One of those kind of torches to get rid of paint.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And I keep on looking at the windowsill, and I have to bloody attack that with some heat very soon. But what happens if I get too close to the UPVC windows? It'll melt it, won't it? Yeah, it will, mate. I don't know what you want me to say. Yeah, I don't really have a way of kind of fixing that. I don't know how to protect.
Starting point is 00:26:57 If anyone's got advice, because no doubt by the time we get to the next show, I won't have got round to actually burning off any of the paint uh but i just is there any way of protecting the upvc windows from my fiery gun i don't think you should i think we all can unite as a community and say that we don't i don't think you should have a 600 degrees celsius i was like that that's powerful. That sounds powerful. That sounds cool. What do you actually use it for generally? I think it's for paint stripping, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:27:30 It's like one of those little old school paint strippers. Very cheap. And I mean, they're cheap Chinese knockoffs, but with the cheap Chinese knockoffs, they basically say, look, we know this is a knockoff. We know this is like not good quality, but in the box, you do get a scraper,
Starting point is 00:27:46 you get a bodger, you get all kinds of little implements that, you know, it's all in the box. So I'm like, look, fine. I know this will,
Starting point is 00:27:52 I'll have three weeks of this before it dies, but you've given me a little scraper and I appreciate it. Yeah. I can get everything I need done in that time. So it's fine. It doesn't matter. Nice. Before we go,
Starting point is 00:28:02 I just wanted to put a little call out there as well. I want to know because I'm just curious about it so a while back Pete and I talked about this big billboard advertising
Starting point is 00:28:10 this very show around about in Westfield out in West London and it's a big old poster you can see it on the social media accounts
Starting point is 00:28:20 at Luke and Pete show I would love to know if anyone listening now is listening because of that billboard advert because those billboard people,
Starting point is 00:28:28 they'll tell you all sorts about how effective that advertising is. I want to know for sure if anyone has found themselves in this parish and you're very welcome. You're very welcome along. If you did it explicitly
Starting point is 00:28:40 via that billboard poster, I want to know. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com and we'll see if anyone emails in to tell us to that effect. What do you think, Pete? What's your feeling? How many emails do you reckon we'll get?
Starting point is 00:28:52 I reckon we'll get one, at least. At least one. Yeah, hello at LukeandPetra.com. As many as one. As many as one. I think so. It is one of those things where it's like you're sort of driving around
Starting point is 00:29:02 quite a busy roundabout. But look, I always think with stuff like that, it doesn't matter how long it is, it's a nice little ego stroke. Except when your head is six foot high on a Westfield advertising hoarding, digital signage. And you've basically, because of the way that the person's drawn, the graphic designer drew our heads. Because it looks like our heads um because it looks like our heads are exploding with all the nonsense um it basically looks like i'm bald like i've got like kind of like hair around the side of my head but i've got no hair on the top of my head yeah and i'm like does this i look like the eagle um i'm just kind of like it makes
Starting point is 00:29:42 me think maybe people think that i've got no hair i mean that is what will be the case in like 15 years time right well i don't know i think i'll just go thin super super thin and super super will you ever will you give yourself a comb over um i don't think i honestly don't think it'll go it'll just go very thin like my dad's very very thin so you won't need to make that decision no and when you're I mean it would be hilarious if you started to go bald now because you have such thick
Starting point is 00:30:07 rich hair it would look like you've had some kind of problem issue like you've had something
Starting point is 00:30:13 I've got some kind of I've got quite a bit of grey in there now which you can really see if you look closely yeah you're not
Starting point is 00:30:19 gonna you're gonna have another 10 years before anyone notices you've gone grey 10? I was more than 10 what before you got grey?
Starting point is 00:30:26 I'm only going grey. I've got white in my beard, I've got a white streak going through my hair. All I want, all I'm asking is God is I just want one nice little badger streak through my hair. Like the demon barber of Freak Street. You can probably dye that in yourself. I think the thing is for men who look a
Starting point is 00:30:42 certain way anyway, you're kind of Don Draper types, a bit of salt and pepper looks really good. For you, I think it might look a bit weird. Yeah, I'd look like someone who's been in Apollo's got all done. Fuck you, then. All right, let's get out of here before Pete gets arrested for having a non-existent grey streak in his hair. We will be back on Thursday with more of this, as ever.
Starting point is 00:31:01 We'll do some more Battery Bransdon as well. We had two out of three last Thursday, I think, which is very good, a very good return. Keep your correspondence coming in, particularly if you got familiar with the show on that big billboard ad, that ridiculous vanity project out in Westfield, which, by the way, we didn't ask or pay for,
