Tell you what, I'm fucking murderously hungry for my lunch,
but I'm going to get these done first.
What are you going to have?
I'm going to have you on toast, mate.
I...
I'm going to get a bit like
sort of spit at the back of my
mouth into throat
earlier on and I sort of went
like that and it tasted like last night's
Chinese so that Chinese has been
kicking around the back of my mouth
it's disgusting
it's off by then
it's probably partially digested
when you get to the point where you burp in,
because I'll tell you,
it was a very similar thing that happened to me.
When I was watching the Lionesses bring football home on Sunday,
I had a tortilla burrito.
Nice.
Yeah, it was good.
I like them because it's like a little,
it's the soft burrito kind of thing.
Yeah, not hard shell.
It's a meal, but they've wrapped it up for you.
Don't worry about your knife and fork
or what you're going to eat next.
You're eating it all at the same time, baby.
Anyway, so I had that
and I asked for pink pickled onions in it.
I love pink pickled onions.
Where is that?
Where's that come from?
That's just part of the salad.
Hang on, you don't like gherkins?
No.
Where does that work?
I like jalapenos and pickled onions.
Why not gherkins?
What have you got against the common cucumber? I told you, it's the white man's jalapeno anyway so i'm eating the pink people and i've long
suspected that particular branch of tortilla they don't pickle the onions properly right okay if
you don't pickle the red onion properly it's absolutely crucial because it's really strong
tasting it repeats on you forever okay and i promise, for about 24 hours, every time I burped, just tasting that red onion.
Yeah.
If I'm pickling...
If I'm pickling...
If I'm pickling...
Pickle onion.
Pickle onion.
It's a tongue twister.
If I'm pickling red onions at home,
I am putting them overnight in the fridge
before I even think about tasting them.
Why?
Because they've got to be pickled properly.
Right.
It's recommended recipes for four hours.
What?
What?
So from onion to... from onion to jar, it only takes four hours before you...
So I'll tell you very, very quickly.
Right.
I'll give you a recipe very quickly.
Right.
And everyone listening at home can have it.
Okay, get yourself a mason jar.
Okay.
Okay, put that to one side for now.
Get yourself three red onions.
Yeah.
Skin them.
Chop them up into slices.
That's what you need
to be doing
because they're going
to pop out
of the circles anyway,
the layers.
Soak them in
boiling water
for about ten minutes
to get all the real
sort of really
strong tasting
stuff out.
Drain them,
put them back
in the mason jar,
add,
fill it up
probably two thirds
with cider vinegar.
Right.
Two,
and then a third orange juice.
Orange juice?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Slice long ways a red pepper,
like a,
like a chilli pepper,
put that in,
um,
squeeze.
Tabasco?
No.
No.
Squeeze a lime in there.
Yeah.
Put a lid on,
shake it up,
put it in the fridge overnight,
next morning you've got perfect pickled red onion.
I thought it was going to end with that throw through your landlord's window.
And I want to know who at Tortilla is in charge of that,
because they ain't doing it the way I do it.
And I wonder whether they're getting them in bulk from the head office.
Right, and they're not letting them settle.
Well, we're all being let down.
We're all being let down because that is repeating.
Because I'm sat in a studio with you.
That repeated on me for about 48 hours.
I went for a whole pack of chewing gum, couldn't get the taste out of my mouth.
You just constantly tasted the onion.
Yeah.
I'm sorry to hear that, Luke.
That's terrible stuff.
This is Luke and Peter, by the way.
Hello.
This is Peter.
Hi.
The problem is,
and this is going to make you feel sick
when you think about this.
You know at Tortilla
where you go and you basically
build your own burrito?
Yes.
So for you that's tough.
Is that like Chilango?
Is that like they kind of
Yeah or Chipotle or whatever.
It's like a little salad bar
a little bit like Subway
but for Mexicans.
It's like a blank slate.
They give you the burrito
the Tortilla wrap
put it on the thing
on the piece of foil
and go right
what do you want?
And you can build it.
You probably hate doing that
because it's probably
confrontational for you
it's just too much
work just give me
everything give me
everything you got in
there
but the problem is if
you deliver it you're
just trusting them
it's just trusting to
put it together yeah
and that's not good
because I'm not going
to open the burrito
just check they've got
the ingredients in there
and we have to go on
taste
well I'm just
constantly sort of
thinking because sour
cream is my enemy my
mortal enemy it makes
me sick it just gives me food poisoning more often than it doesn't I'm just constantly sort of thinking because sour cream is my enemy my mortal enemy it makes me sick it just gives me
food poisoning
more often than it doesn't
I'm just constantly
thinking
how long's that
sour cream been out
I think that's
what you're eating
there is just
out of date cream
yeah
well it's quite sour
it's not the same thing
so I always
feel like
the thing is
I'm not going to
go to Clapham
I'm not going to
go to Clapham
sometimes Mimi
sends me to Clapham
for Taco Bell
there's a Taco Bell
there
oh it's there
so there's one
near Euston Square
and there's one
in Clapham
so if I drive
in the car
down to Taco Bell
with a pair of
tracksuit bottoms
I do think to myself
what am I doing
I'm not even stoned
what am I doing
in my life
as an American
what is the
order that she
goes for
like the hard shell
kind of mince ones
crunch wrap supreme
I think.
Right.
Oh, so wrap with
the little bits of...
It's like a toasted wrap.
But it's all together, right?
Okay.
Yeah.
Interesting.
To be fair to Taco Bell,
they've not really cut through here,
have they?
No, but they could
if they wanted to.
I think that, yeah,
I wonder why that is
because they've got one in Clapham,
there's one up by Euston,
I know that.
There's only a few dotted
around central London.
In America...
What's their policy?
Is it a franchise model or something?
Probably, yeah.
But in America,
even though they are ubiquitous
and they're almost as popular
as your McDonald's and stuff,
I mean, not that far,
but you know what I mean.
It's weird that they've got a reputation
for giving up on the shits.
Yeah, what is that?
Isn't that just like a racist microaggression
towards Mexican food though
no no
I think
I think
no I don't think
it's anything to do with that
right
but I mean
and also like
when you get the shit
you eat hot food
and Taco Bell isn't hot
is it
it's not
it's not a difficult
spicy food
oh it's giving me the shit
because it's so spicy
and Mexican
and foreign
it's not that
they do do
there's one particular
thing you can order
which is pretty spicy right but it's not I mean it's not they do do they do do a there's one particular thing you can order which is pretty spicy
right but it's not I
mean it's a it's a
Pete as you know it's
like a it's a high
street place yeah
there's this it's a
poor percentage game to
play to make really
spicy food because
people ain't gonna
fucking buy it are
they I got very and
well but I kind of
pushed through and I
really enjoyed it the
endorphins started going
the sweat started going
some really hot Korean
ramen noodles I saw
that on social media
yeah
fucking hell
where did you get them from
that was from
the Chinese supermarket
around the corner
but I was just like
I've seen them
Sean recommended them
two off for me
he's a bigger boy
I can't do it
how many did you get through
I got
I had the packet
of the hottest one
and I put all of the thing
well let's see what this has got.
Um,
and good God,
it was just,
I did the,
I was just sweating immediately.
Yeah.
But then there's that kind of like endorphin rush
of kind of like,
isn't it?
Is it?
I think it's the same.
I think it's the same.
Never do that again.
I think it's the same part of the brain
that handles like,
like,
um,
like,
you know,
what's it called?
I can't remember the name for it,
but like,
you thought, yeah, yeah. Addictiveness to that. Um, how was the bot bot? Uh, It handles like, what's it called? I can't remember the name for it, but like euphoria.
Like an addictiveness to that.
How was the bot bot?
Bot bot's fine.
When I have hot food or anything difficult,
it's never the bot bot's the issue.
It's just general stomach cramps and pain.
Why did you keep doing it then?
Keep doing what?
I was fine with that.
I was fine.
Speaking of fast food restaurants,
I was speaking to a family member a week or two ago
who made their money working at McDonald's.
They were in the main head office thing in Chicago.
And they were telling me, I thought it was really interesting anyway,
about the business model of McDonald's,
essentially based around real estate rather than burgers.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Which is kind of a cool thing, right?
It's clever.
Yeah.
So they basically buy up all the buildings. So if they move somewhere, it's a franchise model, yeah, yeah. Which is kind of a cool thing, right? It's clever. Yeah. So they basically buy up all the buildings.
So if they move somewhere,
it's a franchise model obviously,
but if they move somewhere,
they take care of the buying of the building.
The franchisee pays the rent
and a percentage of the profits back to McDonald's.
It's good, isn't it?
And they get to keep hold of the building.
So what's happened in Russia though?
They've just taken the buildings.
Yeah, I'm not really sure about that.
I guess they just cancelled,
maybe terminated the agreement with the Russian franchises. buildings. Yeah, I'm not really sure about that. I guess they just cancelled, maybe terminated the agreement
with the Russian franchises.
Right.
Franchisees and then that's that.
Because didn't Russia kind of turn out
its own kind of ersatz version
really quickly?
Yeah, and there's a lot of horror stories
of rotten...
Because it's clearly old.
Some of it's old stock,
old bread stock from McDonald's.
Donnie loves it.
I love it.
Donnie and his tracky bottoms love that.
Bit of extra flavour,
bit of umami
with the rot
on the side of the burger.
No sour cream though.
Absolutely no sour cream.
That'll do me a mischief guys.
Yeah.
So I found that
quite interesting
because in many ways
then it's kind of
as close as to a full
because the way I see it
the reason I asked
them the question
is because we were
standing waiting
for something
and I think it was
at Liverpool Street Station
maybe
maybe it's not Liverpool
might have been Victoria
but there's a McDonald's there
and I was just thinking
actually if you were really
interested in making money
so if your thing was
as an entrepreneur
you just want to make money
right
and I know you've got to
handle the training
and you've got to go through
all the fucking rigmarole
once you've got there
it's hard to think of
a more foolproof way
of making money
than having a McDonald's
in a busy footfall area.
Yeah, but it's all about your margins, isn't it?
Yeah, but
the business model is set up for you, isn't it?
Fine, but
they're not stupid. They're making as much money
as possible and your margins will be very small,
won't they? I mean, at the end of the day, it's food, isn't it?
Food has terrible margins. When was the last time you walked
into a McDonald's and it wasn't busy?
No, but they factor that in in the deal, don't they?
They go, you're always going to be busy.
We're going to take 90% of that.
No, they don't take anywhere near that much.
You don't know either.
I do.
You're pretending that you do.
No, I do know.
I do know, actually.
If you say things confidently, that constitutes knowledge.
I'm going to start calling you out on more of this.
Not having it.
What else don't I know?
Oh, contact lenses. What are they made don't I know? Oh, contact lenses.
What are they made of?
I don't know about contact lenses.
Is it a shellfish?
I don't know.
I'm putting them in my eyes, though.
I have an optician's appointment every year.
Never needed glasses, Peter.
Cool.
You've been wearing them, you jerk.
That's for brightness.
More lies.
No, that's for glare.
What?
That's for screen.
You're wearing anti-glare glasses that don't actually magnify your eyes.
At home, I was, yeah.
What's that about?
Because of the glare.
Because of the glare?
I don't understand that.
You were just wearing your...
I have a real thing about my partner I have access to.
She'll use her phone bright in a dark room.
I'm like, you're going to damage your eyes.
Come on now.
Mimi, Mimi.
Come on now.
The Wi-Fi I have access to
turns their brightness
all the way down
at all times
drives me mad
why
so at night I get it
if you're in bed
I get that
you turn it right down
it's a good battery saver
I'm on board
but sometimes
we'll be standing out
on a bright sunny day
and she'll be looking
at directions
and I'll be like
just turn the brightness up
just turn it up
turn the brightness up
and she's like
no I don't want to
it's bad for my eyes
you're outside
you're outside
the sun's up there
I swear iPhone
used to do an automatic brightness
do they still do that?
yeah they all do that
so maybe you should
sort of bow down
to our supreme
iPhone overlords
and let them decide
let them roll the dice
about the brightness
they wouldn't put
a little LED
like detecting chip
or whatever it is
a sensor in the phone
if they didn't want you to use it.
Exactly.
It's next to the camera.
Have a look.
Speaking of that, that new iPhone advert, have you seen that?
Where it's the vibrating phone on the table that falls off the table?
No.
It says, relax, it's an iPhone.
I don't get that.
Well, it's made of stronger stuff in it.
Oh.
Yeah, relax, it's an iPhone.
Then you go, yeah, I think it's because a lot of the other phones are quite not as...
Robust.
Not as robust.
I didn't think iPhone had any kind of reputation at all
for robustness or quality.
I think nowadays they're just kind of...
They're very waterproof.
They're very...
They're pretty good these days.
But, I mean, when you do smash them,
it does cost you a fucking arm and leg.
They've actually started releasing official kits
to fix your own.
These massive fucking...
Wow, that's interesting.
But it's for...
I think it's for like iFixit kind of companies,
but they're these massive...
Because iPhones are just so fucking complex,
and I think they worry about the right to repair EU rules and stuff coming in.
You love taking things apart, don't you?
I can't get them back together again.
So EU say that you need to have to be able to take them apart and be able to fix them yourself
which is kind of a weird rule
well if you buy
something you should be able to fix them yourself
or be able to open them up
shouldn't be gluing everything together
because it just makes this piece of electronics
just completely disposable
that's why it's funny how Brexiteers are always piping up about EU laws
but every time I see an EU law
it's all perfectly sensible.
Yeah.
It seems to be genuinely in the spirit of...
That's helping...
That's what's funny.
The sort of rules that the older generation...
And you don't like to generalise,
but I fucking love doing it on the show.
But the older generation do get...
My dad gets angry about the right to repair,
and yet, in another breath, he'll complain about EU red tape.
And I'm like, Dad, they're literally looking after your specific interests.
I couldn't give a shit, mate.
I'll buy a new iPhone every fucking month because I'm an idiot.
I'm a mark.
I want the very best all the time until I look at my bank and I go, you've got deeply rooted psychological issues
around having money.
Correct.
Yeah.
I want to get rid of it.
Yeah.
I want to get rid of it all.
I don't want to have any imprint on this world.
But I understand how the EU law thing
is normally good.
Things like mobile phone roaming
is obviously really good.
Food standards.
Clean water initiatives around Europe as well
for people who want to go swimming in the sea.
What else did I say?
Pet passports, did I say that one?
Yeah, okay.
That's a good one.
Just passports and just free roaming.
Yeah, exactly.
But the right to repair one,
is there not a valid point to be made here, Pete,
where you say, if you know what you're buying,
and that's the price, and they're already bound by a lot of laws that say through warranty and through
faultiness and stuff um surely it's just you know just buy it if you want it if you don't want it
don't buy it yeah but it's your like you've always been a little fixed stuff like telly's i suppose
once it's yours you should be able to get stuck into it yeah you own it so you should better do
whatever the fuck you want with it. If I want to get this
and I want to shove it in my mouth
and chomp on it,
I want to be able to do it.
That's not the right to repair,
that's the right to eat
your own phone.
Well, just put it under
as a little subheading.
So at the moment,
it's difficult to do that, right?
And I'll tell you why this is fucking,
I know this is not the world's
most boring chat,
but as we came to this subject
completely organically,
I do just want to mention this.
I am a month out
from my new contract.
Okay, yeah.
It stopped fucking working,
hasn't it?
Luke, it's not...
We had this before
with the recording you
talking about stuff.
It's not happening.
What do you mean?
It's not happening.
None of it's happening.
It stopped working.
It stopped working.
Because they know...
What's happened?
I think there's built-in
obsolescence.
I don't think
EE are talking to
Apple iPhone and saying...
The joke's on you because I'm on O2, so...
Oh, whatever.
We can probably get a signal there's a bloody building then.
So soon you're going to be able to get stuck right into your iPhone.
Yeah.
And have a look at the little parts.
Have a look at the little parts, yeah.
And how do you even get into one now?
Because there's no screws on it, right?
It's just all glue.
So you heat it up.
And that's kind of like some of the tools
to kind of heat up the iPhone in a uniform way
and apply the right pressure in the right places.
Because before, it was just kind of like
diagnostic tools and tools that would take stuff apart.
And it was all kind of guesswork
from like Chinese companies and stuff.
What a great job that would be, Pete,
where you just trial or error,
try and fix an iPhone.
That's your job.
It's a thousand new iPhones
and you get to work out
the best way to fix them
you'd be loving that
I just like some blogs
with tiny microscopes
looking at boards
you know
there's probably three or four boards
like main boards
in an iPhone these days
and they'll take them out
and they'll go
right
this fucking iPhone isn't working
why is it not working
and they'll send a charge through it
and they'll look
and they'll look with a heat thermometer
which tiny little like one pixel thing
is getting hotter than the rest
because there's a short somewhere.
And it'll be one tiny little chip,
tiny little transistor, tiny little resistor,
tiny little kind,
and how you take these off and stick them back on again,
it's just astonishing the things that they can do.
So the iPhone official Apple repair kit is going to be about 15 grand.
Yeah, pretty much.
And you're only going to buy it from the Apple website.
Speaking of repairing, look at that bulging bloody wall.
Jesus, what's that about?
That's good for the sound, isn't it?
Why is it like that, though?
I think it's because you drew a hole
in the studio
the other day
and then there's
air pumping through it.
Why would it be connected?
There's air pumping through it.
What was I going to say?
I was going to say something.
Oh, yeah.
What about
get all the old iPhones,
gather them up
and get the semiconductors
out of them
because we need them?
What,
like take them out?
Yeah, maybe, yeah.
There's a business idea for you.
Because we need them, right?
We're in big trouble otherwise. Yeah, I guess so, yeah. That's one to think for you. Because we need them, right? We're in big trouble otherwise.
Yeah, I guess so, yeah.
That's one to think about.
Let's take a quick break
while we think about what we're going to do
with all of our second-hand semiconductors.
When we come back, we're going to do batteries
because there's some more been sent in
and we need to check if we've got any brand new players.
So don't go anywhere.
We'll be back in a moment.

We're back for the Luke and Pete show
and yeah, we're talking about batteries.
It's what we do every single Thursday.
Hope you're keeping well, battery boys and girls.
We were out and about.
Where were we? We were having a little sports day. well battery boys and girls we were out and about where were we
we were having a little sports day
oh yeah that was fun
out and about
maybe we'll talk about that later
but we had a
I noticed when I was
playing rounders
that I just found
somebody just discarded
a load of Kodak batteries
and I'm like how fitting
I threw one at Rory
how very fitting
I threw one at Rory
and I missed him
and he looked he picked it up
and looked at me
and went,
oh yeah,
look,
he had a little
chocolate.
Will Horncastle
has got in touch
with the battery
he's found.
Alright lads,
been searching
for new players
for years
but I've only
just come across
the classic
Everready,
Pear Deer,
etc.
I was looking
in a battery
operated fan
during the
40 degree day
of hell
and found these.
A new player, Setup Alkaline AAA.
Setup Alkaline AAA.
Yeah, Will, thank you very much for emailing in
and thank you very much for showing us this new battery
because it is indeed a new player.
No one has sent Setup Alkaline in before now.
Thank you very much for sending it in.
Lovely stuff.
Dylan has come in with HW Hiwatt.
I emailed once about a duck calling someone a bloody fool.
Anyway, I'm away with my company in the village of Launceston in Cornwall,
a little B&B.
The batteries in the TV are HW Hiwatt double heavy duty.
A new player, perhaps?
Not a new player because you missed out, Dylan, by six days.
Because Andrew Ingram also sent HW High Watts in on July 21st,
all the way from Connecticut.
So HW High Watts reaching across the Atlantic.
Andrew got in there ahead of you, Dylan, I'm afraid.
But, I mean, Cornwall does sound lovely.
Part of me wishes I was in Cornwall right now.
Cornwall is stunning.
Stunning.
Great ceilings.
Hello to, who have we got here?
Chris Stockley.
Chris Stockley.
Hello, Chris Stockley.
King Kong batteries.
Any interest?
Hello, guys.
Working my way through your episodes,
it seems a main topic on the show is types of batteries.
Thought I'd chip in and show you a picture of my King Kong batteries.
Haven't heard them mentioned yet,
so I thought I might have the best name so far.
They came in an old Alba-branded TV I found in the attic.
Yeah, this is interesting because Chris sent that email in
on the 1st of January 2018.
And then he's emailed again last week.
With another one, yeah.
Saying, hi gents, it's been over four and a half years
since I last sent this in,
still haven't heard King Kong batteries
mentioned
so I am delighted
to say
sorry
yeah sorry about
that
we got a lot on
yeah
we haven't
you were the
first person to
ever send in
King Kong batteries
on the
when was it
the 1st of January
2018
right
so congratulations
to you on a new
player
there are two new
players out of our three on this week's battery check.
It's good stuff.
And I'm here for it.
Peter,
let's do an email about hot air ballooning.
Okay.
Because we talked about hot air ballooning a week or so ago.
Yes.
And we've got a few comments about it around the comments of apparent.
This is what cracks me up about the
less than salubrious
parts of the Luke and
Pete show fan base
you complain sometimes
okay and I've got a
lot of complaints last
week that I told the
same little anecdote
two shows in a row
okay about Bill Burr
and Neil deGrasse Tyson
hmm I did it on one
show and then I did it
followed up on the next
show but in my defense
I went back and
listened and I said
oh Pete I think I said this to you before, but
and then people still complained about it.
But in amongst all that, there was a
hot air balloon story.
And I want to follow up on it
from our listener friend Joe
who says the following. Dear Luke and Pete,
long time listener, second time
emailer, though he's not mentioned what his first email
was about. He says, I'm a hot air
balloon pilot from the Midlands and it's not often our sport gets a mention so i was quite excited when
people brought up on the podcast i don't want to steal pc gordon's thunder in any way but i can
shed some light on the legal position of hot air ballooning as far as her majesty is concerned we
have a right to land and recover the balloon from anywhere. But that does not mean you don't have to deal with the consequences.
For example, landing at Gatwick would breach a plethora of aviation laws
and you'd be looking at a hefty stretch inside.
But on the flip side, landing in a farmer's field,
which spooks a sheep into sprinting into a gate post and dying,
would set you back around £100.
You can land anywhere, but the law states you must pay the price
for any inconveniences caused. On the odd
occasion, farmers think they have struck gold when we land,
demanding ridiculous
fees of around £1,000,
when we haven't caused any inconveniences or issues.
But the majority of them are absolutely lovely and happy
with a bottle of scotch or £20
as Pete encountered. These are
fairly normal occurrences, but there are also some farmers
who are just batshit crazy.
There was an instance in the past
where a farmer saw a balloon over his land
and proceeded to take pot shots at it
with his shotgun.
Putting holes in the balloon
is not a major concern
as they can still operate with small holes.
The main issue was the hundreds of litres
of flammable propane gas on board
and half a dozen passengers.
A shotgun could have easily punctured
a propane cylinder and resulted in an instant explosion in the sky, ultimately killing everyone on board, and half a dozen passengers. A shotgun could have easily punctured a propane cylinder
and resulted in an instant explosion in the sky,
ultimately killing everyone on board.
Thankfully, he was a terrible aimer, Mr. Bloom, each time.
Needless to say, the farmer quickly had his gun licence revoked
and spent a night down the police station
to try and explain his actions,
but he ultimately received no punishment.
Anyway, if you're ever up in the Midlands and fancy a flight,
give me a shout.
Keep up the good work, Joe.
Right, now, he shouldn't be doing that. No, he shouldn't. anyway if you're ever up in the Midlands and fancy a flight give me a shout keep up the good work Joe right now
he shouldn't be doing that
no
he shouldn't
he shouldn't be doing that
absolutely not
it's a
insanely dangerous thing to do
and
but there you go
what are you going to do
farmers can be
farmers can be
I mean that's attempted murder
at best
isn't it
is it at best
at worst
at best at worst what's best isn't it is it at best at worst at best
at worst
what's best
what's better than it
everything
yeah
I feel like
I feel like
you
so
farmers are a funny
old bunch aren't they
because I've
encountered some angry
farmers in my time
yeah
but a while back
I was out walking
with the Y5
actions to in the
west country
and we got lost.
Right.
Probably my fault.
We're in the middle of
fucking nowhere.
I don't know where we're
going.
And we turned the corner
around this hedge.
We were basically just
walking through fucking
farmer's fields at this
point.
Yeah, okay.
And we turned left around
the hedge and the farmer
was just sat there on
his tractor.
On his iPhone, yes.
So how do I get this
open?
And I was like, fuck,
I'm really sorry.
I think we're lost.
And he was like, oh,
no, don't worry.
And he gave us some directions. Now, he stopped short
of giving us a ride back on his tractor,
but he did help us. And I feel
like, I don't know how you feel, Pete, as someone who's not
from the countryside like me, also
not from the countryside. If you approach a farmer
in his environment, there's something
quite intimidating about it. Oh, definitely, yeah.
I toil the
soil. What are you doing here, tourist?
I'm, yeah, I'm at one with the land,
with nature's earth.
Nature's bounty.
Yeah, nature's bounty.
What are you bringing?
What contribution are you making to society
is what he's saying to you, isn't it?
Normally with a gun over his shoulder.
But I don't think he should be taking pot shots
like a hot air balloon.
He's not thought it through.
No, best guess scenario for him is nobody dies.
And, yeah, the thing about it I don't understand
is that you're doing that predominantly
because you don't want the hot air balloon anywhere near your land.
But you're shooting the balloon,
which means it's going to have far more chance of landing on your land.
If anything, get yourself a flamethrower out.
Get the fucking balloon as high as you can.
Yeah, I guess so, yeah.
Because that's how it works right
the heat
the hot air
rises
you don't want to
be making the
hot air in the
balloon less
you want to be
making it more
so if he was
thinking it through
you'd think he
would
kind of go about
it a slightly
different way
anyway
that's interesting
right let's get
out of here Peter
we'll be back on
Monday with another one of these so we'll look of here Peter we'll be back on Monday
with another one of these
so we'll look forward to that
we should probably also
on Monday Pete
talk a little bit
about our sports day
yes lovely
just as a little spoiler alert
for people
were you annoyed
at how competitive I was
no you were alright actually
a little bit
no you were alright actually
let myself down there
you weren't competitive enough
you've got to deceive me
you don't care
my competitiveness
is what I've got really
we'll talk a bit more
