The Luke and Pete Show - I’m here to pick up a wand
Episode Date: November 25, 2021Pete is still spending most of his spare time on Facebook Marketplace - but he isn't selling a magic wand, much to the disappointment of a five-year-old child. We recover from that crushing setback by... celebrating the wonderful Takeshi’s Castle. We then finish off the show by trying to answer the big question: what wouldn’t be improved by the addition of Snoop Dogg? We couldn’t think of anything, can you?

back once again how you doing it's the look of beach it's a thursday which means batteries
boys one direction and bum cuck to be quite frank uh luke moore is joining me once again
it's a little picture i mean this is the bare minimum we can bring you, to be quite frank. Me and you talking
about nonsense.
It's a stripped back
version of podcasting
that every other
broadcaster is too
cowardly to do.
I think they need to
build up.
They need to build
things around them
to lean on.
What's happening
here?
What's happening
there?
What subjects are we
going to talk about?
Where's the running
order?
Have we got a
sponsor?
You know, all that kind of stuff.
Me and Pete, we just freestyle it, baby.
Just freestyle it.
I mean, we do have a running order,
but it's mainly just me dropping in dirty YouTubes.
And links that I don't understand.
Like, you've basically put something in our shared document today,
which I think is as good a time as any now to talk about.
New Rowhammer technique bypasses existing DDR4 memory defences.
Well, yeah, I mean...
That doesn't make any sense to anyone.
I put that in the WhatsApp group
because I thought it was interesting,
but it ended up in the running.
But it's not interesting
because no one understands it.
Is it interesting? No.
Well, why don't you try and explain it
to a lay audience?
I'm not sure I can.
DDR memory is in everything.
It came in probably 15 years ago, 20 years ago,
and it is incredibly popular in everything we use.
Every computer you've got, every computer I've got,
every server that underpins our very existence, etc.
The Rohammer effect is a security exploit
that some hackers, some incredible fucking geniuses,
have figured out that relies on the leaking of electrical charges
between adjacent memory cells inside the microchips,
inside the DIMMs, inside the DDR4 memory.
It's incredible, Luke.
And so it nails some naughty person to flip ones and zeros
and change the content in the memory
by changing the electrical impulses in surrounding memory cells effectively.
And we are talking atom-sized fucking things.
That's amazing, isn't it?
It is amazing.
I don't know how...
I don't know how...
It's almost too complex for any actual hacker to get hold of.
You know what I mean?
It's a proof of concept uh that no hacker no general
kind of hacker could really uh take advantage of very quickly it's going to take some years for
them to even catch up which i think is amazing and people need to accept that today that um actually
you can get bloody annoyed with hackers but they are really good yeah yeah yeah i mean i mean some
of them are but i mean but they're the ones that just create naughty exploits
that hack your PlayStation 5 so you can play video games,
free video games, or stuff like that.
They're the fun ones,
but they're always the most intelligent ones.
The thick ones are the ones they were just using off the shelf.
You know, Chinese, you pay 100 quid
and they give you this kind of cheat effectively,
this hacking thing, and you just point at it.
It's a bit like buying a gun, I suppose.
These Chinese hacking firms,
they make these quite complex batch files or macros
that you buy for a certain amount of money
and then you just, it's basically just like buying a gun.
If I want to hack you, I'll fire it at you effectively
and get all your sweet beans.
Yeah, that is disappointing, to say the least.
But this Roh hammer effect thing,
it's been around since 2014.
They're only trying to sort of,
and they've finally managed to get
some proper exploits
kind of up and running and stuff.
I just find it amazing
that inside the fucking memory modules,
by manipulating surrounding memory fucking holes,
it can affect the other memory holes in modern devices.
At the core of its very essence,
the exchange of information through computers
is just binary 1 or 0, 1 or 0, 1 or 0.
And the combinations of those things are what generate
what we see and what we experience.
And they're able to manipulate that at such a low level
that they can completely undermine anything that's happening.
It's completely kind of system device,
non-specific.
It can do anything.
Is it a myth to say that when they catch those sweet beans hackers,
they give them a job?
There's certainly a lot of,
a lot of companies do have,
if you go to them and go,
give me 20 grand and I'll tell you what's wrong with your system.
And then you tell them,
and they do pay out.
Which crucially,
do they pay first?
Because I could do that. That sounds really really easy i've heard of the raw hammer effect
yeah yeah i think i can tell you what's wrong with your computers i might just set up a business on
facebook marketplace and just uh which a lot of people seem to be doing where they'll they'll fix
your computer and like because most people's computers are fucked in a very um unfuckable
way oh sorry in a very yeah a very a very um unfuckable way oh sorry
in a very yeah a very in a very unfuckable way you can unfuck them quite easily and uh and so um
you can really make a lot of money by being absolute charlatan you're still enjoying your
time on facebook marketplace you're selling a lot of facebook marketplace links there was a man uh
this month no last night um came to the door of the little boy and i was like it seems a bit
trick-or-treaty.
I thought, what's going on here?
There's some kind of hustle happening.
And he said, I made her pick up a wand.
I don't know why I didn't put this in the runner.
Yeah, he said, I made her pick up a wand.
I was like, what?
He's making you sound like a paedophile there.
Putting some magic wands to kids on the internet.
And I said, is this like Facebook?
That was my first thought.
I thought it's Facebook Marketplace.
He's gone to the wrong house.
And I went up to Sarah and went,
Sarah, are you selling a Harry Potter wand?
You've doubted yourself there, which I like.
The only thing is, I'd seen that one on Facebook Marketplace.
So at least I knew it was for sales.
I knew it was legit.
How old was the kid?
How big is that?
Five. Five? Five, yeah. So, yeah, he was getting it. Are you excited? I knew it was legit how old was the kid errr how big is that five five
five
yeah so yeah
he was getting
excited
that would be exciting
you and your dad
going out on a little
Harry Potter quest
to go and grab a wand
that's what Facebook
that's the magic
of marketplace mate
I don't want to be
disrespectful
but if I turned up
to your house
and you answered
and my dad was
buying a wand off you
I'd be thinking
what's going on here
out on the whole street
I would be the most
likely to fucking have one
I don't even have any kids
how do they get resolved
I went upstairs
and said
Sarah
like
they said
start fashioning one
out of twig
hundred quid
just a big doob
how much did you
how much did you
get a buyer for
sorry mates
and so
I said good luck
with your quest
to find the
find the Harry Potter wand.
But you've made it sound like a challenge there.
Now you're making it sound like you're involved.
It's like an escape room.
Good luck with the challenge.
Well, he's definitely got it then.
So Sarah came downstairs and went,
I think you knew the answer to that when you asked
whether I was selling Harry Potter wands.
So do you reckon he got his hands on one?
I don't know.
It's hard to say.
I hope he did.
I hope he did.
You know in Harry Potter, the wands are kind of...
They can fly, can't they?
Can they fly?
That's a broomstick.
That's a broomstick.
The wands are unique to the wand holder.
So you get your wand made based on your personality
and how you like to do magic.
And some of them have like a unicorn hair
through the middle of them or a dragon string or something.
Oh, right.
What would you have in yours,
do you think?
I'd have like a...
A noodle,
big long Japanese noodle probably.
Big long Japanese noodle
or it would be
LED lights,
like a gaming PC.
So I like that.
So your Harry Potter one
would be one long ramen noodle
through the middle of it
with some gaming lights
at the end.
At the end, yeah.
That's nice.
That's nice.
That'd work well. Kevlar. Covered in Kevlar. Yeah. For no reason. of it with some gaming lights at the end at the end yeah that's nice that's nice that worked well
Kevlar
covered in Kevlar
for no reason
very nice
there's not been
there's not been
any upshot of
the car accident
that's on my house yet
no
I've had people
well I've had people
tap in the whatsapp
yeah
going my
someone's absolutely
has anyone's car
been totalled
that
Derek next door
Derek right okay yeah because I think about this because as a new driver if I crash into someone Absolutely. Has anyone's car been totalled that... Derek next door. Derek, right, okay.
Yeah.
Because I think about this, because as a new driver,
if I crash into someone,
do people crash their cars quite often,
that if I crashed into them, I would...
Because you know I hate any kind of social interaction
out on the street.
I mean, you're going to have to interact with people
if you crash your car, isn't it?
Yeah.
Someone say you already have interacted with them. if you crash your car. Yeah. Some would say you already
have interacted with them.
Have you had an insurance claim
on your...
Have you had a crashed car before?
Never had a crashed car.
No.
I'm just thinking that
I don't necessarily know what to do.
Would they necessarily know what to do?
Because they're bigger boys.
Yeah, all you do is just
exchange information.
Right.
What's the information?
Yeah, they say that.
Let's exchange numbers.
And what's that going to do?
Because then you've got
the car registration number
you've got the name of the person
you've got the number of the person
yeah
so you call your insurance company
and you say
this is what's happening
and it's a fucking pain
because if you're not
it depends on the type of policy you've got
you might lose your no claims
so poor old Derek next door
yeah
he's very big in the local community
yeah
he runs the amateur dramatics
right
he's got a half share
in a gallery
for amateur artists
nice yeah he's a good lad share in a gallery for amateur artists nice
yeah he's a good lad
outstanding citizen
nice fella
he had us all round
for cocktails
summer before last
before Covid
because he does a lot
of work over in Brazil
and he had all these
Brazil themed cocktails
and we went over there
and it was great
cool
what reward does he get
for that
someone totalling his car
did he total it
or just kind of
written off baby
written off
and to add insult
to injury,
he also had his bike as a keen cyclist.
Yeah, this bike parked in a little bike park.
That got totaled as well.
In there as well.
Next door.
In there.
So I think what he would have to do is call them up
and say, someone smashed into my car.
Come and have a look at it.
And the insurance company will either say,
yeah, we'll fix that.
Good luck with your premium next year.
Or we can't fix that the
mechanics they can't fix it because it's too expensive it's that therefore it's written off
right off means that it's more than the car's worth to yes you have to get another car so you
know look mate it's heady business it's heady business but anyway modern life is rubbish it is
the only thing people are talking about in the whatsapp group at the moment mate is speed bumps
yeah they're still bagging the speed bumps from. And interestingly enough... I think you're right, though.
I think more speed bumps just make your car fly.
I'll tell you something
interesting around this, right? So it happened
to a mate of mine's street. He doesn't live in London,
but there was people speeding up and down
the residential street. And the residents were pissed
off about it, obviously.
He lives on the same street as Justin Lee Collins.
Okay. That's a side point.
Side point. Yeah.
Anyway, so there was a car accident because people were driving too fast. No one got hurt.
Not a big deal. He didn't drive like this in the 90s.
Yeah, that's what he said.
So what Justin Lee Collins did...
The A-Team used to drive faster than this.
He tried to reunion all the people involved in the car accident.
No. So what they did is
they said, look, we want to sort out fast people driving
people driving too fast down the street.
They talked about speed bumps, fucking too expensive.
Council won't pay for it.
What they did is they saw a study that came from somewhere
like Netherlands or Scandinavia,
where they put pot plants, like as in planters,
on the pavements.
And they painted different coloured shapes
on the road itself.
Right.
And what that did was it gave the drivers something to think about.
Oh, God, what's this?
Yes.
And it stopped them driving fast.
And it actually fucking worked.
Right.
Just kind of like obfuscation.
Kind of like, what?
This is a puzzle I've got to figure out.
Oh, no, this must be some kind of area for something.
Stumming, yeah.
Kids' playground, something like that.
So I'm not going to drive too fast.
And it actually worked
and it cost a lot less
than putting the speed bumps in
which apparently is very expensive.
I would just write the little symbol
some Squid Game on the floor
in chalk.
Nice.
And they'd be like,
whoa,
don't want to go down this road.
Dressing the pink overalls.
Dressing the pink overalls.
With the mask.
With the mask.
Have you seen all Squid Game now?
No, not seen a single one.
Why not?
Because it got too far.
It's a detriment of duty that is.
You're negligent,
it's negligent.
Negligent. It's got too far. You like Eastern culture that is you're negligent it's negligent it's got too far
you like eastern culture
right
and you do podcasts
right
so I have to watch
Squid Game
I know it's set in Korea
not in Japan
but has Chris Broad
seen it
yes I think he has seen it
I really want you to watch it
because I think
myself and our listeners
would like to know
your take on it
I think I've seen
everything
bloody John Legend
and his missus
are doing squid game
things and the chance
to win a holiday
at their house
for Halloween
why is he involved
because
everyone hates
his wife now
it's a supermodel
Chrissy Teigen
who was
a beloved of the left
until a lot of DMs
came out of
telling her kid
to die or something
right
she was beloved of the left
and now she's
been cast adrift
because you passed,
or we've catched up with you.
And, yeah, they did, for Halloween, I believe,
did a big Squid Games thing
where their friends and family could win prizes
by, you know, taking part in the Squid Games.
And it's just very, like, the whole idea,
people look at it through the lens of,
the whole idea of Squid Games
is poor people
trying to make money
trying to survive
and being John Legend
and Chrissy Teigen
they're obviously
very very rich
I mean I'm surprised
that they don't see
that it's a fairly
obvious metaphor
that they've been
victim of there
by being ignorant
isn't it
for the record
and probably for legal reasons
they weren't killing people
no
it was a light-hearted version.
Maybe the bodies haven't been found yet.
How long are you lasting in the Squid Game
if you had to do it?
We've spoken about...
The only one I've seen is What Time's Mr. Wolf,
and there's another one, MC Escher kind of thing.
What's that?
Isn't that kind of like stairs up and down,
and there's blood on the stairs, and it's pink.
Everything's pink.
No, but that's not a game
that's the background
that's the background bit
okay
and the red light
green light
which is
Mr. Wolf
red light
but the problem
in Squid Game
with that
is that
this isn't the first episode
so you can get fucked
if you can complain
about spoilers
hit fast forward
for 30 seconds
if you don't want
to hear this
the problem with that
is it's the first game
in Squid Game
so no one knows
what's happening so a lot of people get fucking nailed because they don't is it's the first game in Squid Game so no one knows what's happening
so a lot of people
get fucking nailed
because they don't know
it's happening.
Oh, so Squid Game
is they turn up
and they don't know
they're in the Squid Game?
At the start they don't.
Right.
They don't know
they're in the Squid Game.
And that's the first game.
No, they know they're in it
but I don't know
they're going to get killed.
Oh, right, okay.
They're like,
oh, yeah.
I think it's Takeshi's Castle.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Which, by the way,
ain't great.
I mean, that deserves
a lot of credit, Takeshi's Castle. Yeah. Brilliant show. Well, I think Takeshi's Castle. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Which, by the way, ain't great. I mean, that deserves a lot of credit, Takeshi's Castle.
Yeah.
Brilliant show.
Well, Pete Takeshi's
a very important stand-up citizen.
Is that problematic
for a Western audience
to be appropriate in that?
No, it's a mad fucking,
you know,
I mean, it perpetrates
that kind of
aren't the fucking Japanese wacky,
but I mean,
they are wacky.
And it's them doing it.
And it's them doing it.
Oh, no, they're just showing it.
No one's changing it.
Some of the best TV to ever happen,
forget your fucking Sopranos,
when the people doing Takeshi's Castle
are told that there's three doors to run through.
And they've got to run full pelt.
And they do it.
No one goes up to them and pushes it
to see if it's fucking paper.
They just run full pelt.
It's not in the spirit of the games, Lou.
And the great thing about it is
whether it's a solid door
or a paper one
the results are brilliant
because they go so fast
through the paper one
they hurt themselves
and they go so far
into the door
they hurt themselves
I'm telling you now
anything in society
you can talk about
you kind of
look at the way
Stuart Lee develops
his stand up comedy
it's so clever
it's so intricate
it's so well rendered
he's doing callbacks ten minutes later. It's so clever. It's so intricate. It's so well rendered.
He's doing callbacks 10 minutes later and it's funny.
Yeah, fine.
It's good.
I like Stuart Lee.
But really all of society's comedic laughs can be drilled down to something like Takeshi's Castle.
Just other people hurting. People hurting.
People falling over.
So would you like to do Takeshi's Castle?
You prefer to do that to Squid Game, obviously.
The prizes on offer aren't as large.
But the reward is lower, but so is the risk.
Are you surviving?
Because you do sometimes see a Western person
on Takeshi's Castle, and it's funny.
And why are they all dressed as baseball players?
Oh, I don't know.
Baseball's big in Japan, right?
It's just big in Japan.
Do you think you'd do all right in Takeshi's Castle?
Yeah, I think so.
I think I'd throw...
I'd always throw myself around and hurt myself, innit?
So if you could do Squid Game,
where you could literally win
like 100 million
if you survive,
the final...
I won't say the final game
because it's probably
a bit fucking rich.
Bit of a spoiler.
You could do Takeshi's Castle
or you could do
American Ninja Warrior.
I think you'd be good
on American Ninja Warrior
because you've got...
Ninja Warrior's too
upper body strength, innit?
You've got a good power
to weight ratio, haven't you?
Because you're small.
You have.
You used to be ripped.
Used to be ripped. Giving that to be ripped giving that all up
giving that all up
for one of Lars Sivertsen's
delicious chocolate twists
that he got into there
did he bring some in
Sivertsen isn't it
yeah
no one can say his name
properly
and it upsets me
it's weird because he's Irish
Pete we should get
our listeners to email in
to say what their tactics
would be on Squid Game
Takeshi's Castle
and American Ninja Warrior right I get the impression listen I'll tell you something now we've got quite a lot our listeners to email in to say what their tactics would be on Squid Game Takeshi's Castle and American Ninja Warrior
right
I get the impression
listen I'll tell you something now
we've got quite a lot of listeners
to the competition in America
if
I would be stunned
stunned
if there's someone listening
who hasn't been on American Ninja Warrior
because it's on so often
that there must be some people on it
that are listening to this show right now
so if you are
get in touch
let's have a break.
When we come back, people have got to do some batteries.
Let's do them.
It's going to be very exciting.
So we'll do that.
We'll take a quick break.
We'll come back and we'll see if there's any new players
entering the game.
We're back with the Luke and Pete show.
How the devil are you doing?
Every single Thursday, we count down our and
your favourite battery brands. If you've
opened up an old kettle, an old electric
kettle. My battery's the kettle, is it? Well, you
might have a clock-assisted kettle.
They might have an air in there. Where's this going? What's that your
example? I don't know. I'm trying to style
out my mistake. Is that an alarm clock?
Alarm clock. If you've opened up an alarm clock
or a sieve, an electric
sieve. Battery- powered sieve or a
battery powered sword or battery powers in the sword so it's coming back and now i'm trying to
find things that don't have batteries in them and i'm finding things with batteries in them
your harry potter wand my harry potter wand if you open that up uh you might find a battery
if you find one that you don't think we've heard on the show before get in touch hello
at lukepeachshow.com or you can tweet us at luke and peach show on twitter what we got this week
lukey am i doing it and you're searching you're doing it and i'm searching step up richard
come on down richard nice to see you he says evening guys day one listener first time emailer
was recently clearing out the loft for my dad we came across the remote control for his old sony
stereo system. Lovely.
I popped back off to be greeted
with a pair of Sony Super Reds.
Sony Super Reds.
Let's have a look.
He says,
from a quick Google search,
these batteries can be found on eBay
described as rare vintage
Sony Super Red batteries
with cool graphics
and are priced between £4 and £15.
What?
So people are buying them?
What?
People buy them?
I think they're a new player.
I think they are a new player,
and I can confirm.
They are a new player.
Well done, Richard.
Congratulations.
Welcome in.
Welcome in.
So that's one new player at a one.
We're 100% so far.
Another rich has been in touch.
He says,
Forgive me if these are not new players.
Inside a musical rattle gifted to my daughter
that couldn't be turned off without removing the batteries,
I found a pair of South House Supers.
South House Supers.
Very enjoyable.
Richard, I can exclusively reveal
that here you have beautiful long hands.
And also, South House Super is very much a new, new battery.
Very good.
I can't believe we're still unveiling these.
After all this time.
Thank you very much for that.
Good on you.
And then finally for now,
Joel Bell.
Hello.
Second attempt at new battery brands.
You don't get any credit for that.
They're either in or they're not.
He says,
are large batteries,
new entries,
large?
I don't think they are.
I'm pretty sure we've seen them
quite a few times before.
Can you confirm that to me,
Mr. Pete Donaldson,
just by typing the word large?
Yeah,
there is no fucking way I'm going to be able to confirm that they are batteries. We've definitely seen them before. We've definitely seen them before. to me, Mr. Pete Donaldson, just by typing the word large? Yeah, there is no fucking way
I'm going to be able to confirm that they are batteries.
We've definitely seen it before.
Thank you, Joel.
Thanks anyway, Joel, but it's not right this time.
Peter, do you want to do an email?
We should probably do, do you know what we should do?
We should do some more English,
full English breakfast fry-up emails.
We've had quite a few of those.
Right, okay.
All right, okay.
Well, Snoop Godd, presumably on Twitter,
has had
a suggestion regarding full English
breakfasts. What about using a Yorkshire pudding
as a ramekin for beans? No extra
dish to wash up, an excuse to eat Yorkshire puddings
outside of a raw situation.
Now, where do you stand on that? Because
they are delicious. I think beans
would possibly add
a sweet piquancy to
proceedings when it comes to that because they
can be quite heavy and tasteless.
I want to dream here.
I want to fly as close
to the sun as possible. But I've been burnt
in the past and I'll tell you why.
When I was a student, I was absolutely convinced
that baked beans and pasta would go
well. People do though.
They presume, they see the tomato sauce
and they presume that that could be the same tomato sauce
that the Italians use.
It doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
It tastes terrible.
It's the most disappointing.
But you've got to add cheese in there as well.
If you add cheese to everything, it's delicious, isn't it?
Cheese can improve a multitude of sins.
It can cover up a lot.
I don't know this would work.
I think you're also breaking two cardinal rules,
which is you're intimating the idea
that you can have baked beans somewhere near a roast,
which you shouldn't be doing,
and you shouldn't be having a Yorkshire pudding
with a full English.
I get that it could be a kind of vessel.
I totally understand that.
In principle, it's a vessel,
but I just don't really think it's going to be something
we should be exploring any further
however Snoop God
if that is your real name
why don't you send us in a video of you doing it
with a little report
and maybe we can be persuaded
oh actually speaking of Snoop Doggy Dog
he is on a TV show
like a feats of human endurance kind of TV show
of course he is
like stunt best show with Cordy Rhodes the wrestler show, like a feats of human endurance kind of TV show. Of course he is. Like stunt based
show with Cordy Rhodes, the wrestler
and
inexplicably, oh
she was an actor
in the film.
Now completely fucking gone.
Who was this bloke who directed the
opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics?
Who did the opening
ceremony of the 2012 Olympics? Sunshine.
Oh, his name is Danny Boyle. Danny Boyle. Danny Boyle, opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics. Who did the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics? It was Sunshine.
Oh, his name is Danny Boyle.
Danny Boyle.
Danny Boyle went out with an actor, actress,
who he may have directed in one of his bits.
Rosario Dawson.
Rosario Dawson.
There we go.
Got it in the end.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for playing the Pete's Mystery Actor game
and yeah
Rosario Dawson
and Cody Rhodes
the son of the excellent
Duthie Rhodes
and also
Snoop Doggy Dogg
they are all doing
like a
Takeshi's Castle
kind of
Britain's Got Talent
kind of
shows your talent
so you've got lads
in like wheelchairs
with flames coming out
of the backs of their wheelchairs
doing flips and stuff you've got lads in wheelchairs with flames coming out the backs of their wheelchairs doing flips and stuff. You've got
monster truck stuff.
It's just basically whatever you
can do that's spectacular and dangerous.
Snoop Doggy Dogg
who's, you know... He's just Snoop Dogg now.
He's just Snoop Dogg. Sorry.
He changed his name in about 1998.
Oh, okay. Cool. Alright.
He's involved, is he? He's involved. And they're all judging
whether who's good and stuff.
I think that anything you add Snoop Dogg to improves it.
Yeah.
What wouldn't be improved?
Tell me one thing that wouldn't be improved
with the addition of Snoop Dogg.
He's not very good at streaming on Twitch, I've noted.
That's a charming thing in itself, though, right?
He's in his 50s.
Yeah, he's charming because sometimes I just leave it on overnight.
That's great.
Come back to it
in the morning.
You've undermined
your own argument.
Oh,
I forgot to turn it off.
That sounds amazing.
Just him looking
at his computer
going,
oh,
um,
oh.
No one can tell me
anything that wouldn't
be improved
by the addition
of Snoop Dogg.
Yeah,
I've talked myself
around that,
to be honest.
that sounds so good.
He's basically,
if you happen to be there
when he's come back
and seen the thing still turned on,
that's amazing.
That's brilliant.
Well, also on the beans,
Gary Ricks has also sent in an email,
saying,
Guys, guys, guys!
The beans in the ramekin
are surely just for them
to be placed in the microwave
and blitzed,
rather than heating up
a big saucepan of beans
and keeping them warm
for hours during service.
Gary Ricks,
you're probably fucking right, aren't you?
Yeah, but I mean, I don't think that's an excuse.
Let's have a little bean microwave to just do tiny bits of beans.
First of all, Gary doesn't feel like he's in anything
approaching nodding terms with how chefs cook things.
Right.
They're going to cook more than a ramekin of beans at once.
It's a commercial kitchen.
Yeah, but it takes a separate vessel, doesn't it?
No, but what I'm saying is...
Everything's just on the hob.
Everything's just on a big grill, isn't it?
Like a big flat grill,
so you've got your egg on there.
You don't put your beans on the grill.
No, no, I mean, you wouldn't.
So how would you cook them?
A big saucepan,
so you get more than one portion out at once.
Yeah, but you don't know
if anyone's going to want beans.
I mean, there's a good chance that people will,
but they do burn quite easily, don't they?
Well, I'm not doing
no exchanges in my restaurant.
You can't substitute items
in my fried breakfast restaurant.
I reckon they just sort of,
he's probably right, Gary,
they probably make about
10 or 12,
I don't mind picking
that particular dozen,
of ramekins and beans
and they just pop them
in the microwave
as and when.
I dig it,
but the problem is
if you microwave them
and some of them explode
and it makes them very dry.
I just don't think,
if you run your own cafe.
A convection oven.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe.
If you run a cafe though, Pete,
would you be accepting
customers substituting items
in your breakfast?
Because some places do,
some don't.
It's a big fine line between them.
There's one that I used to live next to,
a little Italian kind of,
just an Italian deli
where they just sell like,
just escalops and pasta,
a bit of bakes and stuff.
And then they do
loads of different kinds of,
but they do like 12 different
fried breakfasts.
If you don't,
if you can't find something
in one of them,
none of them vegetarian,
if you can't find one of them
that doesn't tick all the boxes for you,
then you're a fucking pain in the arse.
I kind of understand
that you want to be able
to please the customer,
but I mean, a substitution thing can go silly.
If you open...
Right.
I don't want any bread, any beans.
I want black pudding instead of all of that.
Yeah.
I just want a big bowl of black pudding.
Yeah.
Can I substitute the toast for a steak?
No, you fucking can't.
No, you can't, you maniac.
It's roughly the same shape.
I don't care.
I would probably go up to and including two substitutions,
and the substitutions have to already be in the breakfast universe.
I'll have to already be doing them.
What, if you're on complex, isn't it?
Yeah.
You're on complex and you're being...
Yeah, I just think that you have to really draw a line somewhere.
It's breakfast somewhere, I'd say.
And one thing I don't like about cafes as well is that they don't, a lot of the time,
they'll serve up the sauces
in those red and brown plastic containers
and the sauces will always be really cheap.
Always be really cheap.
It won't be Heinz ketchup
and it'll be really vinegary, off-brand brown sauce.
Yeah, but worse than that
is getting your tomato sauce in individual sachets.
That can get fucked.
No, but at least it's Heinz.
Yeah, but there's never enough.
There's never fucking enough of it
and you don't get any Tabasco.
Give me Tabasco.
Give me the,
give me the light.
Yeah, and I also,
I also think that like,
with the,
with the scrimping
on the tomato ketchup thing,
how much money
are they actually saving?
Because I checked this earlier
because I knew
we'd be talking about this
and you can buy four litres
of Heinz tomato ketchup
from Amazon
for under £20.
Are you paying with it, with Visa credit card, though?
Because that's not happening in January, big boy.
What do you mean?
The Visa, thanks to Brexit, Visa credit cards are, according to Amazon,
they are penniless at the moment.
They are bereft.
They are penniless at the moment.
They are bereft.
They can't afford the amount of money it takes to process the Visa credit cards in the UK.
We're just in the UK.
You're being serious?
Because they're no longer part of the EU.
So I've got a Mastercard debit, so I'm fine.
Yeah.
But all those people out there with a Visa debit,
but that's not a debit.
That's a credit card.
Yeah, but if you've got a Visa debit,
that's why we've got...
It doesn't go Visa debit.
No, it's not Visa debit.
It's just Visa credit.
Oh, Visa credit.
Okay.
I don't have a credit card anyway.
Some of the bigger boys
can't be responsible
enough to have one.
And yet they won't
give me the stat card.
Yeah.
Because I'll pay for stuff.
Yeah, but the stat card
does a lot of big trips
around the office.
People take it off me
all the time.
Oh, shit.
Anyway, on that bombshell,
we will get out of here for another week.
Thank you for sending in your battery brands.
Thank you for listening to us talk about fried breakfast.
I understand it's quite an alien concept
to people in other parts of the world.
Perhaps if you are living in a country
that doesn't traditionally do fried breakfast,
why don't you treat yourself to one?
Why don't you go and make yourself one?
I think that it will be interesting to see
what the variations would be like, personally.
Hello at LukeandPeach.com for emails. Same
place for the battery brands. We'll do some more next
Thursday. We are at Luke and Pete
Show on the old Twitter and Instagram.
Big thank you to our
producer Rory for his efforts this week as ever
and we'll see you again on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend. See you soon.
I'm not going to congratulate Rory until I've
heard the edit. Fair enough actually.
Easy gig otherwise. He's already assumed he's going to be doing a until I've heard the edit. Fair enough, actually. Easy gig, otherwise.
He's already assumed that he's going to be doing a good job.
You're absolutely right.
A neutral shout-out to Rory.
See you on Monday.
