Who's the fellow who goes out with J-Lo?
Ben Affleck.
Ben Affleck.
It's the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Luke Moore.
And just before the show started, I demanded to know,
who's that fellow who goes out with J-Lo?
It's Ben Affleck, Luke told me.
Have you seen the recent video of Ben Affleck
opening a car door for his partner?
No.
I need to see it, though.
And it's listed as some spurious fucking...
The shivers are not dead, blah, blah, blah.
But it's basically Ben Affleck
looking as Ben Affleck...
Because the modern Ben Affleck is a walking meme, isn't he?
He's just a man with a cigarette, with a Dunkin' Donuts.
He loves Dunkin' Donuts so much that he can never not be seen
with a Dunkin' Donuts in his hand.
Dunkin' Donuts are coffee anyway.
And he's just constantly, and in this video,
he's walking towards his car.
I'm watching it now, yeah.
He's not spotted the paparazzi.
He lets his partner into the car
and he's just holding this massive iced coffee,
I think from Dunkin' Donuts,
and he looks fucking knackered.
Yeah, he does.
He looks absolutely...
He sees the paparazzi go at the end
and puts his hands out and says,
what are you fucking doing?
Yeah, what are you fucking doing?
I'm not looking to to besmirch
Ben Affleck's good character
at all
right
but I think
what is happening there
is that J-Lo
has got things in her hands
so she can't answer
I've opened the card to herself
so he's doing it for her
right
okay
so it's not like he's
he's some kind of
I mean
because the TikTok video I saw
just says like you said
Ben Affleck shows chivalry isn't dead
right
I mean she literally cannot open the door
because she's got her hands full.
Oh, I didn't even clock that.
It's just more that,
will someone just let Ben Affleck sleep?
Yeah.
Well, that's the thing, isn't it?
People from that part of the world,
from New England, from Boston,
they are known for a couple of things.
One, for always being in Dunkin' Donuts
because whenever Patriots or Bruins,
I think one of the two,
I know they still do this,
whenever they win a game at the weekend,
I think it was Patriots actually,
they would dish out free coffee at Dunkin' Donuts
to get people in.
And secondly, people from that part of the world
also drink iced coffee all year round.
Do they? Right, okay.
So even though it's famously freezing cold in Boston
in the winter everyone
buys iced coffee still so like when my my wife from that part of the world as you know when she
first moved here i mean it's much better now we kind of caught up on the eyes on the old iced
coffee game um yeah but she was like crazy it's the height of summer i can't get an iced coffee
anywhere what the fuck's going on i'm getting someone where's mcdonald's but now everyone kind
of does it right yeah But I think he's
obviously got a lot of
well-publicized health
problems.
So I'm hoping he feels
better and hopefully
can get some sleep
because we do need to
get him some sleep.
Maybe that's a campaign
we should kind of
embark upon.
Let's help Ben Affleck
get some sleep.
Swap out the big
sugary coffees for
what I like to call,
every night,
you don't know this about me,
I've started drinking
herbal tea at night.
Well, I don't think
I wanted to know that about you,
you disgusting man.
Who do you think you are,
Andy Brassel?
I started drinking
what I like to call
calm the fuck down tea.
And it's a calm,
there's a choice of either
a decaf Earl Grey
or a calm the fuck down tea,
which has stuff like...
Yeah.
Sweepings.
It's just sweepings, isn't it?
Yeah.
Chamomile sweepings.
Those kind of ones.
They just go to the tea factory and go,
right, look, just add some lavender oil to this.
Has this happened because of a couple of weeks ago
when you puked your guts up in the downstairs toilet
and forgot about it?
Because you were so drunk.
No, no, no, no.
Is this a reaction to that
because you'll be back on the horse sooner or later
I'll be back on the horse sooner or later
why have you started doing that then
what's your cut off for coffee drinking then do you not drink it
sort of past midday or whatever
I don't drink it past 3 o'clock in the afternoon
it's just not worth
it's not worth the screaming abdabs
so it means
when I'm doing a ramble reacts i am very
much at at last 10 i am very much like i am usually in bed watching an office by now yeah
i know that i saw that i noticed last time i did a ramble reacts with you you were quite ratty
i'm right yeah because i've changed my because i live out in the sticks i've changed my whole
thing to be up at six o'clock in the morning because i've got to drive in or get the train in
um and so like a late show i am dribbling which does make for a better show because i am talking
absolute shite most of the time i don't think i've noticed in terms of output don't be rude
i'm just saying that you used to be a bit of a night owl yeah i did yeah but i used to be a bit
of a spell dog um yeah who like spelling used to be up until like one two in the morning same with
me but it's on it's untenable when a dog gets up at 6 o'clock and needs a shit.
Yeah.
Is that you or the dog?
You're talking about yourself like DMX would.
A dog needs a shit.
And what did you used to drink as a hot drink in the evening
before you embarked upon this herbal tea adventure?
I don't know.
I mean, I was a big coffee guy for most of the day.
But, like, I think the quality of my sleep,
like, I would get a good, solid seven and a half, eight hours,
which is so rare in modern life.
There's so few people that get that.
And there'll be people listening at home going,
oh, God, I wish I could get even five hours sleep.
Yeah.
But I've always been a pretty good sleeper.
Yeah, I'm the same.
These days, there's always something to do.
And also, to be honest, when I wake up at, like, six,
quarter past six, I do sort of feel, yes, a new day.
I've got, like, hours before anyone's asking anything of me.
Like, I've got, like, two or three hours where I can just
get some stuff done, get a bit of admin done.
So it means I can be at my desk at like eight
and start doing the things that need to be done
before anyone else is up and stuff.
It's nice. I like it.
I like that part of the day these days.
What do you think the 25-year-old Pete Donson
was thinking what you just said there?
It's disgusting.
Yeah, that's always the way, isn't it?
I found when I was away last summer,
I went away to some old friends
to a festival
in Portugal
and we all stayed
in this big kind of house
and it wasn't too heavy
or anything like that
because everyone's
a bit older now
so it's kind of
pretty chilled
and I was really surprised
actually by
how poorly
some of my friends
clearly sleep
like I
the only thing
that's ever really worked
for me
is obviously
we have to work quite hard
because we're obviously running our own business and stuff so you're doing a lot of work but also
kind of fairly regular exercise even if it's just out for a walk a bit of fresh air and all the rest
of it that's the only thing that really works for me in terms of sleep and if i wake up really late
one morning that night i find it quite hard to drop off but other than that i'm pretty good
normally i can do seven or eight hours which i, I mean, I've read some stuff online
about general sleep health and hygiene
among the population.
And it's fucking terrible.
Like, the average amount of sleep
is like five hours or something.
It's absolutely...
How are you even functioning?
And I think it's to do with, like...
A lot of it's to do with, like,
electronic devices, I think.
Oh, like the old blue light and all that?
Yeah, because i heard um someone
say um you know obviously i think they probably understood this wouldn't be possible but someone
was saying that um literally the thing they would recommend for someone who can't sleep or needs to
try and get more sleep as a general rule would be literally just have a room that's got a bed in it
and that's it and don't go even even go in the room unless you're not going to sleep yeah so your brain starts to realize that um that's the room
that you sleep in if you start doing these other activities in it um it can be just confusing to
your subconscious mind i guess that's why you should never have a tv in your bedroom right
if you've got tv in your office i got tv in the bedroom watch the office every night but again
but with with that i watch I don't watch anything challenging.
I don't watch anything...
I'll just watch the same thing that we watch six or seven times through.
So it's like...
It's just...
And by the time...
By the time...
Like halfway through an episode of The Office, I'm usually asleep.
I'm usually dozing, right?
And I will wake up as soon as...
Right, the music. Yeah, right. usually asleep i'm usually dozing right and i will wake up as soon as i will wake up to turn the television off every time and we uh we were in a hotel a few weeks ago
um sarah i was knackered so i was like i'm just gonna half an hour and to wake me up for dinner
she played the office thing it worked and i was And I was like, honestly, first call, I am awake and ready to go.
It is like a cold shower.
I'm like, bang, I'm up.
I should play that.
I should play that for you.
Yeah, it's a real weird Pavlovian response.
But I would say also, if you have issues with using devices,
using phone devices and stuff like a lot of people
certainly um my partners the same like they administer their entire life through one screen
a mobile phone you know i've got i've got a laptop i've got this this computer is where i do my work
and uh i've got a mobile phone and i cannot do anything really on my mobile phone. If I have to
do any research, if I have to buy something, if I want to do anything more than watch a small
YouTube video or listen to something or reply to a short text message, I cannot. I will actually,
if I want to do a proper response to someone via WhatsApp or text message, I will go to my computer to type that out.
And that really helps when you get to the bedroom, when you're going to go to sleep, because there's nothing I really do on my phone that much.
I'm not a big social media guy.
I'll scroll through Twitter, I'll scroll through bloody Instagram or whatever, but like, I'm not a big guy like that.
So it's really helped me to administer
but but my partner like and this is her entire life she will write stuff she will write scripts
she will uh read stuff she will uh order things and and and she does everything off one screen
sort of thing so i i am i think in a slightly more privileged position so you compartmentalize
successfully yeah not even on purpose it just happened that way yeah exactly yeah i'll kind of a mixture of both maybe i think
i do use a lot of my my the wi-fi i have access to would say that i'm always on my phone which is
probably fair um but i kind of feel like i have to stay across quite a lot of different bits and
pieces and it's easier for me i think to be sat around on my phone in the evening rather than if
something comes out at work having to
walk back into the other room and go pick up the laptop
again and all that kind of crap so I'm kind
of similar but speaking of
only ever really watch so you would say you only ever really
watch benign things in bed
yeah
we don't watch anything other than The Office we watch
the office that we've seen every night
yeah
every episode we've watched it I've watched what happens when you've gone through the whole every episode
we've watched it
I've watched it
seven or eight times
and Sarah's watched it
about three times
well then you just
mix it up and do
another comedy show
or something
no because it's just
comfortable isn't it
it's not about watching it
this would be included
in a story about you
killing a load of people
I reckon
the thing is though
my memory is so bad
I reckon
I wouldn't even be that good at like an office an office quiz i'd probably beat you in it and i'd never seen it
maybe maybe maybe we'll do that next uh week or but i was gonna say to you the reason i asked
about the hat if it's just a benign thing that you watch is because for some reason i have no
idea why i did this um the other day i watched midsummer bed. You love a bit of Midsommar.
Great movie.
Yeah.
Great movie. Frightening.
Yeah, but why do you want to watch it before you go to bed?
Do you not have that thing where you have a hankering?
Something pops into your mind, you have a hankering just to watch it.
Yeah, but then if I'm watching a film again, I'm like,
I'm just wasting my time here.
I could be watching a new film.
You're watching The Office every night and you've seen it eight times through.
So what's the difference?
Bad example, but with a film. you're watching The Office every night and you've seen it eight times through so what's the difference?
bad example but with a film
I resent having to watch the same film
over and over again
I want to watch a
I want to watch a new film
speaking of that
do you ever re-read a book?
only by accident
I barely ever read
I barely ever read
I read on holiday
and I usually get halfway through a spy book
and go I've read this one
that's quite maniacal
fucking La Carre
has done me over again
no one's ever said that to me before
only by accident
yeah only by accident
I don't tend to re-read books
unless it's like a really easy
knockabout one like a Jeeves and Worcester or something like that.
Because they're basically all the same anyway.
Yeah.
And there's 5 million of them, so it doesn't really matter.
I started reading a book this week called Killing Thatcher.
Right.
Thatcher.
Which is about the plot in 1984, the bombing of the Brighton,
that hotel in Brighton.
Yeah. It's really interesting
really good, I was kind of inspired
to start reading about that period of history
because I listened to that
Rest Is Politics episode with Gerry Adams
I don't know if you've heard it
it's Alistair Campbell and Roy Stewart
interviewing Gerry Adams
it's really interesting
it's weird that he's kind of like boogie men
of our
of our past
yeah I find that
have become
have become
acceptable
not acceptable
but they've become something very different
in
you know
they're almost something quite quaint
well it's the peace process isn't it
I mean
if basically you know
if the queen can meet
Martin McGuinness
given that what happened with her cousin
and all the rest of it
then I guess it's an example to everyone.
If you're going to make peace with people,
you make peace with your enemies, not your friends, right?
So necessarily they have to change in terms of their dynamic
to the British people, I suppose.
But I just found it a fascinating interview
because it was an interview that had clearly been organised
with very few conditions.
And Rory Stewart is an ex-British army officer.
So there's like a real bit of tension there.
Obviously, Alistair Campbell knows both of them pretty well.
But anyway, so I started reading about that era.
And I'd read a book by Patrick Radden Keefe,
who also did a podcast called Wind of Change,
which is very good.
But his journalism work,
he wrote Empire empire of pain
about the opioid crisis and the sackler family in the u.s he wrote the snakehead about chinese
organized crime which you would love by the way peter uh and he also but he also wrote a book
called say nothing which is the story of the troubles in northern ireland told through the
eyes of several different families and i really enjoyed that so i'll get another book and this
this book that's recently come out called Killing Thatcher about this plot.
It's fucking amazing.
It's absolutely fascinating.
I mean, it's obviously horrific,
but it's amazing what went on in our lifetimes.
But essentially, really,
I don't want to cause any problems
by using ill-advised terminology,
but it's essentially a civil war
in a part of the UK for quite a long time
while we were alive.
And I don't think it's often thought of like
that and this book kind of
brings home all the kind of horror
of it for me because I was probably a bit too young to
remember it but I'm old enough to remember
that Gerry Adams voice and face
wasn't allowed on TV
do you remember that? Yeah I mean that seemed
I can't remember what
why was that again? Like why was that
to legitimise them as a political force
when they were blowing up?
I don't really know what decision was made,
but every time he appeared as a spokesperson
for Sinn Féin or whatever,
for those people who aren't in the UK
or too young to remember,
he had his voice voiced by an actor
and his face was always blanked out,
which if you think about it now,
ultimately had the opposite effect
of what they were going for.
Yeah, it made them sound bigger and more...
And really dangerous.
Yeah.
Which is probably what they wanted.
Yeah.
Very, very weird.
Anyway, it's worth reading.
It's by a guy called Rory Carroll.
I don't know much about him.
I don't really know his work that well,
but this book is brilliant.
I'd love to do a book club podcast.
It's just a lot of work, though, isn't it?
And I don't know if anyone would listen to it.
Anyway, let's have a break. And when we come back and we'll do our battery brands and
maybe squeeze an email in as well lovely stuff all right we're back with the looking picture
and the battery brands what you found in old remote controls for air conditioning units
on holiday um chris from london what a weird one this is. Hello, Luke and Pete.
I was paying a visit to my parents' abode last week
and I was asked to grab a kitchen roll
from the cupboard under the stairs.
Whilst doing so, I stumbled upon a box
my dad has been keeping of old batteries.
What a treasure trove, you might think.
Upon pilfering through a bunch of home-named brands,
which shall not be named due to their commonality,
I did come across this,
hoping that I might be able to get myself a brand new player.
Truly Power Puissance.
Yeah, this is strange.
Truly Power Puissance.
Love the show and all that comes with it.
It's kept me going through thick and thin.
It's a new player.
I mean, as I'm sure people can guess by now.
I've no idea what it means.
I've no idea.
It's a blue 9-volter by the look of it.
I'm just looking at, like, I mean, because...
I'm just looking at the actual...
I mean, that's not a brand itself.
But, like...
Because, obviously, you know, from GCSE...
Did we do GCSE? No.
SAT-level French.
Présence means power, doesn't it?
So it's truly power-power.
Silly babies.
It must have been named.
It looks like a really old battery,
but it must have been named by some kind of algorithm.
Maybe it was like truly power,
and then there was some kind of legal rules in France
that you have to maintain the sanctity of the language used,
so they added in a poissance.
The world of battery naming is a fucking
fascinating world.
It's crazy.
I don't think people
really take that much
time to think about it.
Afternoon lads.
This is from Liam
from Bath.
First time,
long time.
Finally found a good
reason to get in touch.
I was rooting around
in my old bedroom
in my mum's place.
I was visiting home
for the first time
in months and found
an old remote control
for a TV VHS
combi unit
complete with a vhs of
royal rumble 2003 still inside i like it naturally i opened up the remote to see if i could find some
new players and i'm hoping i stumbled upon a pair you've never laid eyes on before behold these
extra heavy duty any good to you all the best liam from bath um thank you for sending them in
liam definitely an intriguing battery. Unfortunately,
you are the fourth person to send
those in. Our friend Gary
Walsh was the first to send them in back in November
of 2021, and then Jay Barnes
and Chris Arch have both
sent them in subsequently. So you are the fourth
person to send in Ivster Eye.
I love it. I absolutely
love it. Sam has got
in touch with us. Hello, Pete. Found a couple of batteries in my solar garden lights for your consideration. I absolutely love it. Sam has got in touch with us.
Hello, Pete.
Found a couple of batteries in my solar garden lights for your consideration.
Keep the good word.
Solar garden lights, very much a...
They're crap.
I mean, you'd think that they wouldn't have batteries in them.
You'd think that they would have some kind of capacitor,
but obviously they need batteries to keep hold of the energy.
And yeah, they're just normal AA's.
They're not even like weird chips or anything.
They never work, those fucking solar-powered lights.
They do if you look after them.
If you get good ones and not cheap ones.
We've got some that are absolute doozies in our backyard.
We've got some heavy-duty outdoor lights that you plug in,
and they're weatherproof, and they're fine.
Yeah, but the foxes eat you on the cables and get 12 volts through their teeth.
Oh, mate, you ain't got to tell me that.
Dirty old foxes. We've got a real snail infestation at the moment. Yeah, I've seen a lot chew on the cables and get 12 volts through their teeth. Oh, mate, you ain't got to tell me that. Dirty old foxes.
We've got a real snail infestation at the moment.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of snails recently, actually.
Jeez, oh, but I don't know what...
Time of year, isn't it?
I'm going to have to...
Because, I mean, it is disgusting how many snails you've got in the garden.
I mean, I need to fix this somehow,
but I don't know what pellets I can use that's not going to damage little Sammy Sam Sam,
because he'll eat anything.
Also, you don't want to be cruel to animals anyway, do you?
You don't want to be cruel to animals, but look, you don't know how many...
I mean, I'm cruel to animals because I'm just stamping on fucking snails.
And I like snails. I like them, but there are too many.
The snail shit is all up the wall. It's fucking gross, man.
They're all in clusters, and it looks like a big bag of sweets everywhere.
Look, it's disgusting.
How many of them would you estimate are in your garden in total?
I think there's probably...
It could very easily be 500, honestly.
Shut up, man.
Honestly.
500?
That's not possible.
It is, because there's baby ones as well.
Okay, how many
including the
junior ones?
500 including the junior ones, because they take up
less space. Honestly, it's absolutely gross.
There is not a chance
on earth there's 500 snails
in your garden. There is.
I have got 500 snails
and I have got
500 more.
All right.
What's the last battery before we move on?
Sanic NIMH batteries.
I mean, that's nickel something or other, isn't it?
So I don't think that should really count, but Sanic, I think, is the...
So these are rechargeable batteries for a solar garden light.
Yeah.
I don't think that's the name of the battery, is it?
I think Sanic is, yeah.
Oh, Sanic.
Okay, because the NIMH is just like the composition of it.
Nickel something or other.
I don't know what MH stands for.
Hydrogen?
No, what it's said...
What's magnesium?
No.
Nickel, magnesium, hydrogen?
I don't know.
What are you asking me?
Well, NIMH must be nickel.
M and H must be the elements.
No, NH is nihonium, isn't it?
MH.
Oh, MH.
Sorry, okay.
And you typed on your little fucking computer
and then came up with that little fact,
so you're not having that.
There's no way you're having that.
I don't think MH is one, is it?
I'm just saying the M and the H,
separately, hydrogen, and the M and the H, separately,
hydrogen, and the M must be something. What's M? Potassium?
I don't fucking know. No, potassium is K.
M. M.
Mg is magnesium, or manganese.
Mn is manganese, maybe.
Manganese, right. You accuse me
of not knowing my periodic table. I do know my fucking periodic table.
I'm accusing you of tapping away.
I'm trying to find the next email
to fucking line us up
for the next
pet the show
I just think
after that Liverpool fan
I'd have got you
about Trent
you're just hedging
your bets all the time
you're trying to
square away
every little bit of fact
I saw a great
I saw a great
thing about that
so for those of you
who don't care about football
or listen to the ramble
I made a factual error
about Trent Alexander-Arnold
who plays for Liverpool
and people got quite precious
about it.
Fair enough,
you know,
put ourselves out there.
If you want to take the praise,
you take the criticism,
I've got no problem with that.
What I do have a problem with
is the accusations
around some kind of conspiracy
that we now,
it's because we hate Liverpool
that one of us,
me,
made a factual error um on the 52 shows
that i did that week and um that's now extended to the fact that um oh i wonder why luke's not
on the ramble much at the moment is it because they've asked him to step down it's like what
he's on gardening leave yeah's upset the Liverpool fans yeah
I've been asked
I've been asked to step down
from the show
that I co-own
his head's not right
owned by the company
that I also co-own
he's had a go at Trent
his head's not right
oh I love that
that's fucking hilarious
brilliant
there we go
fantastic
what were we doing
oh yeah
so basic
did you get to the bottom
of the M
chemical name or not?
M in elements, I wrote.
Molybdenum.
Molybdenum.
What's the old atomic number?
No, don't need that. I don't need that.
Molybdenum, apparently.
Molybdenum. Because I knew Mg was magnesium and Mn is manganese.
Oh, the name is derived from the Greek molybdos, meaning lead.
Okay.
It was discovered in 1781.
Isn't that amazing?
Lead is PB.
Fucking amazing.
Yeah, thanks.
Plum bum.
Anyway, Sanic, after all that chat, they are new players.
Sanic is a new player.
We've not had Sanic before.
Well done, Sanic.
So congratulations to you,
Sam,
for sending those in.
We got there in the end.
Hey, yeah.
Speaking of fine,
normal stuff.
Oh, look what I've got.
Look what I've got.
I've got a big,
big old telly.
Got a big old telly.
My nan and grandad
used to have a TV
exactly like that
in their kitchen.
Honestly,
they could make,
honestly,
I swear,
making bank is just about having a big...
Just a big
room where you can keep stuff for 30 years.
Because the amount of CRTs
that you would see
out in the street
as recently
as 10 years ago
are now on fucking Facebook Marketplace or eBay
for hundreds of pounds.
Like, absolutely bog standard televisions.
Because they don't make them anymore
because there's a bit of a interest
in sort of retro video game stuff,
look better on CRTs.
There's a little bit of, you know,
oh, I remember when I had a CRT, blah, blah, blah.
But these televisions that have been, you know, oh I remember when I had a CRT blah blah blah, but these
televisions that have been, you know,
Well we've got a podcast
show happening and I thought I'd
try and zhuzh up our little display
a little bit by
displaying some bits on it.
But it's just, I met a man
who I think worked for some kind of
painter's firm in a
car park.
And I was sort of taking a picture of myself to send to him to say,
this is what I look like.
Look out for this guy.
Close on, presumably.
Well, I didn't realise that I was...
I had my camera up
and I was stood right next to a kid's playground.
So I drove up and I'm going, i look like this and that just looks like
i'm just taking pictures of kids by myself again like hanging out of a car taking pictures of kids
um but the guy said he said yeah what what uh what are you gonna use this for i said you know i said
i thought might be a decent with a display at the podcast show and he goes uh yeah i mean i thought
that would be something something would do i mean i was I was in France in my sister's house, and I was clearing it out for her.
And I found this, and I thought, hey, someone would probably want that.
And he said, if you need anything in the future, you can only ask.
Huh.
He said, you've got my number.
Give us a ring.
What was his name?
If I see it.
I can't remember, to be honest.
Neil, I think
he said if you've got anything
I might
I might have it
so
right
I've got a book
red rag to a ball stuff
for you that
I've got a painter
who's
proactively
finding stuff for me
or something
I don't know what
I don't know what
is this drugs
what's going on
can you touch my hand
I hope so
I certainly hope so
can I just also say on behalf of the Luke and Pete show community that your southern accent I don't know what, is this drugs? What's going on? Have you touched my hand? I hope so. I certainly hope so.
But I just also say on behalf of the Luke and Pete show community,
your southern accent is coming on leaps and bounds.
It must be because you live in Essex now.
Yeah.
I mean, everyone, because you assume that, you know, like strong accents,
you assume everyone's got a baseline.
You only ever used to be able to do.
There's nothing wrong with that.
There's nothing wrong with that.
There's like kind of like a baseline
of accents
you just sort of think
everyone kind of talks
in a sort of way
and I keep forgetting
I live in Essex
because every time
somebody speaks
it's
like proper big Essex accent
I'm like
fucking hell
everyone's got big
Essex accents
I reckon yours
when you go back up north
do people say that
yours has softened
yeah I mean I've not lived there for 22 years no but I north do people say that yours has softened yeah I mean
I've not lived there
for 22 years
no but I mean
do people notice it
is what I'm saying
yeah of course
yeah definitely
so maybe in 10 years time
you might just speak
like an Essex lad
but then I come
but then I've seen that
if I sort of
hang out with someone
for you know
an hour or two
I come out
and my accent
goes right back
to where it was
circa you know 22 years old whenever I do a show like David Cart right back to where it was circa you know
22 years old
whenever I do a show
like David Cartlidge
and stuff
it's like
it goes right back
to where it was
he's from Sunderland
isn't he
yeah but it's
it's weird
every dad I knew
in Hartlepool
was from like
same Sunderland way
my dad's from
up that way
so like
his accent
is proper
proper Sunderland
Sunderland
Sunderland
Sunderland sort of way alrightiam-y sort of way.
All right, we haven't had time to squeeze in here by Lynn,
but that's just how this show tends to go.
That's just how it goes, mate.
We'll try and do that next time.
That's just how it goes.
I'm going to get some drugs off a painter, I think.
Set a couple of challenges to him.
Why don't you ask him for something quite obscure
that you would quite like?
Yeah.
A DVD of Forrest Gump.
Yeah. Find me
the shoes of that man
off Geordie Racer from
80s television. That might be a bit specific.
That might be a bit specific, yeah.
Start off with something like
the
Super Nintendo version
of Mario Kart.
I mean, that's... I could go to CEX and get Kart. I mean,
that's,
I could go to
CEX and get that.
I'm not calling it sex.
Why would you do that?
Sex wants me to say sex.
I'm not going to call it sex.
It's CEX.
You've got someone
to do it for you,
so why would you do that?
I thought he was running
errands for you.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah.
But errands,
I can easily do myself.
I want him to find me
like a special Japanese dream cast. Yeah, fine. In someone's easily do myself. I want him to find me a special Japanese Dreamcast
in someone's loft.
Good idea.
Why has it got to be from someone's loft?
Because that's where you'd keep it.
Yeah.
I've actually got my Super Nintendo in their loft.
I don't reckon it'll ever be able to be used again.
Oh, you could clean it up, I'm sure.
Someone could.
That person would not be me.
Would not be you.
I would know what I was doing.
