Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:26 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?
Starting point is 00:00:43 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.
Starting point is 00:01:05 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,
Starting point is 00:01:19 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
Starting point is 00:01:30 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
Starting point is 00:01:38 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.
Starting point is 00:01:46 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.
Starting point is 00:01:59 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.
Starting point is 00:02:16 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
Starting point is 00:02:39 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
Starting point is 00:02:51 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
Starting point is 00:03:02 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,
Starting point is 00:03:13 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
Starting point is 00:03:22 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.
Starting point is 00:03:31 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.
Starting point is 00:03:44 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
Starting point is 00:04:00 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
Starting point is 00:04:29 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:18 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.
Starting point is 00:05:36 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.
Starting point is 00:05:55 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
Starting point is 00:06:06 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
Starting point is 00:06:13 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
Starting point is 00:06:22 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
Starting point is 00:06:47 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...
Starting point is 00:06:58 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
Starting point is 00:07:30 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...
Starting point is 00:07:53 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.
Starting point is 00:08:28 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
Starting point is 00:08:53 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.
Starting point is 00:09:43 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
Starting point is 00:10:24 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
Starting point is 00:10:39 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
Starting point is 00:10:50 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
Starting point is 00:10:58 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
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:35 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
Starting point is 00:11:49 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
Starting point is 00:12:02 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
Starting point is 00:12:16 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.
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:12:53 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
Starting point is 00:13:05 yeah I find that have become have become acceptable not acceptable but they've become something very different in you know
Starting point is 00:13:13 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
Starting point is 00:13:24 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.
Starting point is 00:13:44 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,
Starting point is 00:14:03 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:44 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
Starting point is 00:14:59 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
Starting point is 00:15:15 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.
Starting point is 00:15:28 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,
Starting point is 00:15:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:05 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,
Starting point is 00:16:23 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.
Starting point is 00:16:40 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...
Starting point is 00:16:55 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,
Starting point is 00:17:09 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.
Starting point is 00:17:27 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.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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
Starting point is 00:17:41 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,
Starting point is 00:18:05 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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 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.
Starting point is 00:18:55 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...
Starting point is 00:19:11 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...
Starting point is 00:19:30 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.
Starting point is 00:19:55 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?
Starting point is 00:20:09 500 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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?
Starting point is 00:20:45 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?
Starting point is 00:20:59 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.
Starting point is 00:21:12 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,
Starting point is 00:21:25 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.
Starting point is 00:21:41 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
Starting point is 00:21:51 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
Starting point is 00:21:59 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
Starting point is 00:22:07 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
Starting point is 00:22:14 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
Starting point is 00:22:34 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
Starting point is 00:22:50 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
Starting point is 00:22:58 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.
Starting point is 00:23:12 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.
Starting point is 00:23:32 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.
Starting point is 00:23:44 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.
Starting point is 00:23:52 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
Starting point is 00:24:01 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.
Starting point is 00:24:14 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.
Starting point is 00:24:32 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,
Starting point is 00:24:47 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
Starting point is 00:25:04 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.
Starting point is 00:25:23 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.
Starting point is 00:25:58 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
Starting point is 00:26:07 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
Starting point is 00:26:15 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
Starting point is 00:26:23 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,
Starting point is 00:26:39 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
Starting point is 00:26:49 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
Starting point is 00:26:57 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
Starting point is 00:27:05 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
Starting point is 00:27:12 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
Starting point is 00:27:20 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
Starting point is 00:27:28 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
Starting point is 00:27:35 every dad I knew in Hartlepool was from like same Sunderland way my dad's from up that way so like his accent
Starting point is 00:27:42 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.
Starting point is 00:27:50 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:32 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.
Starting point is 00:28:39 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?
Starting point is 00:28:51 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.
