I've just gone into a bit of a Jerusalem there I always get confused Yeah, local hero, daydream Pete, anyway What you gonna do about it? Romeo, I used to have a scene with him. Juliet. It was about...

Hello, it's the Luke and Pete show. We're talking about Mark Knopfler, him with the bandana and the... Did he play Telecaster? I think he might have played Telecaster. I'll tell you a nice bit of trivia about Mark Knopfler. Never uses a plectrum, doesn't he? Is that right?

Never uses a pick, baby. Never uses a pick. Not cool. Is it cool? It's not cool. There's nothing really that cool about Mark Knopfler generally, is there? I think he's one of those artists a little bit like, who sang American Girl? Tom Petty.

I think he will be appraised more favourably the older he gets and the time that he shuffles off this model. I think Tom Petty's cooler than Mark Knopfler. He's very much a two bald men fought over a comb. I mean, Knopfler is very much a man fighting over a bandana. To cover his baldness, one would suggest. A.k.a. the Keith Richards. Exactly, yeah.

But, yeah, it was... He used to go out with some kind of... I think she was like a socialite or like one of those VJs from back in the day. Right. And I think someone asked her about Mark Knopfler and she went, yeah, I used to have a scene with him.

How rude. Yeah, that is rude. How rude. Does he deserve better? I don't know. It depends on what he did, I suppose. Yeah. Depends on how he conducted himself in the relationship. He's a big Newcastle United fan, though. He's a big Newcastle United fan. Yeah. I'm sure everyone had a lovely day out at the weekend, as did I. Fantastic. Yeah, I mean, it could have been better. I mean, it could have been, I think it could have been it could have been I think it could have been marginally better but the enjoyment I had

took me to 80% I only needed another 20% to get over the the jizzometer so to speak I really want to contextualise this because there'll be plenty of people listening to this

who don't like football and particularly our American listeners and I know that you only think that people who listen to this listen to the Ramblin' as well but that cannot be the case because we make so much round the

content I just wouldn't be able to the other people anyway yeah you went to see Newcastle United play Manchester United in the League Cup final on Sunday just gone at time of recording but that's not the interesting bit everyone the interesting bit is that when Pete embarkeded upon this journey to wembley stadium you know the home of football um you woke up in somerset a little town in somerset in the west country so a good few hundred miles away from london dressed as a tudor yes and as a tud A Tudor. And it would be great to know why that was the case and why you double booked such two disparate social affairs.

It was my partner's mates, our mates, murder mystery night. It was their birthday. A girl called Erica was 40 and she wanted a murder mystery night and so another mutual friend had some kind of, he's like an actor and he kind of created this kind of bespoke murder mystery

night featuring the characters from all of Shakespeare's plays. And I was Romeo and Sarah decided to dress up like the Baz Luhrmann version of Juliet. Nice. And I, oh shit, I've just remembered I've got to take the costume back today. Oh, you haven't done it?

Oh yeah, I've not done it yet. Gee, oh good, I'm so glad we talked about this. Where'd you get it from? And I, a lovely little shop down the road that I'm going to have to apologise to because I lost the rough, that has, it's a basically dress-up shop that has... I don't think an apology's going to cut it.

I don't, it's money, it's going to be money. Yeah. A dress-up shop that has... I don't think an apology is going to cut it. I don't, it's money, it's got to be money. Yeah. A dress-up shop down the road that has the most horrific 1980s dirty Danger Mouse costume in the front window. Wow, and you didn't get that? A character that no one really remembers, and that costume will have existed since the 80s.

And I guess back then, you'd have a pretty good, you know, you have a pretty good kind of like idea that that would have been made bespoke. Nowadays, you can buy massive costumes that look like all of the other costumes in there, like Despicable Me and SpongeBob SquarePants. They're all off the peg Smithy's jobs. Yeah. But at least back then, good, honest English soulmanship sewed together a horrific image of Danger Mouse or what he could have been. And I think, for one, your star has fallen considerably

if you are not going to make a special trip to Somerset for a Tudor murder mystery weekend dressed as Danger Mouse. What? A Danger Mouse? They had mice in Tudor times? Exactly, yeah. They had more mice probably. Probably a very unhygienic time compared to now. And that's why it's covered in dirt, because it's old.

Yeah, Sarah went as the Baz Luhrmann version of Juliet, and I just went, can you just give me a loosely Renaissance slash whatever costume? And she said, I've got Tudor. I went, that'll do. Nobody cares. Presumably because you were hiring such a costume

you were in full character at all times in the shop. Excuse me wench. I'm passing through. What do you say wench? I think the amount of times people say wench in television and in literature I think is much higher than

anyone actually said uh you know it's like if you listen to rap lyrics and then tried learning english as a second language and you can't everyone bitches and stuff i just think it really sort of works no i mean but you would know more about this than me because you're the one that goes into your local asking for a flagon of the foaming ale it's's a quaff. You're that kind of guy, right? It was just, I mean, I was, I was laughing anyway, to be honest. Exactly. I probably would have had more costume. So actually, how did, who ended up committing the murder and the murder mystery?

Well, I was a secret detective, Luke. So that, my, my shit just got cooler and cooler right throughout the night. Yeah. But I think it might have been Lysander I think maybe well you should know if you were the detective yeah I can't remember did you solve the case

or not well I wasn't I wasn't so Shakespeare got blown up by an exploding codpiece a little bit of bawdy humour

oh that is a bit of blue for the dads right there a bit of blue for the dads a bit of blue for the dads and it's a bit like Jim Davidson's Cinderella

show Cinderella with an S with an S got blown up with a gold Blue for the Dads. And it's a bit like Jim Davidson's... Cinderella? Cinderella. With an S. Got blown up with a gold codpiece. But I was investigating the death of Philip Marlowe some years ago. So a man I believe to be behind all of Shakespeare's... Don't you mean Christopher Marlowe? Christopher Marlowe. There you go.

He's a Philip Marlowe. The worst detective in all of Tudor England. One of the Marlowe's. Right, we're investigating the murder a Philip Marlowe. The worst detective in all of Tudor England. One of the Marlowe's. Right, we're investigating the murder of Philip Marlowe. Christopher Marlowe. Sorry to his family. Christopher. We meant Christopher.

We did the press conference with the Met. Oh, dear. Who's Philip Marlowe, then? Why have I got that name in my head? Well, Philip Marlowe is absolutely not the guy behind... Get on your computer, because you can type silently. I've got a loud mechanical keyboard I can't type on. Philip Marlowe is a fictional character

created by Raymond Chandler at some point in the 20th century. My dad was a big Chandler fan. Oh, is that where you got it from? I think so. So Christopher Marlowe, I think, spent a lot of his time near where I grew up, and as a result, Shakespeare visited there. Right, ripped him off

a lot of people well it's quite an interesting thing because a lot of people think that some of the knowledge that shakespeare had given his background was quite remarkable so for example the inner workings of a court right he would have no way of knowing that so so yeah so that's where a lot of it comes from there's a really interesting there's a slight diversion to be semi-serious for a moment if you're listening to this and you are aware of a Radio 4 series

called In Our Time there's a really it's presented by Lord Melvin Bragg who's brilliant because he just gets really pissed off with all his guests you know you get to that point where you've been at the BBC

so long and you're a white man of say 70 something yeah Paxman has done it loads probably a bit younger than 70 but they just have

disdain for everyone who's on their show so in our time what this now can I just do it myself no but seriously like

and it's a remarkable programme in our time because Melvin Brad presents every single one. And of course, he's got researchers and producers and stuff. But it will be from one week to the next, it will be the historicity of Jesus Christ followed by the accuracy of Shakespeare's sonnets.

And then the next week, it will be the formation of the moon or whatever. And he's on every single show. And he introduces every show by saying, and joining me today are Professor Emeritus of of you know pembroke college cambridge uh so and so from wherever and they're all like leading experts in their fields yeah and every so often when they're explaining something that's slightly different to what he's asked just to give a bit of context for people listening he's like we're not interested in that at the moment. No, we're not interested in that.

So can you please just get back on to the subject of the question I asked? We weren't talking about that. Thank you. It's nice. You can't imagine

ever being so rude, having that kind of confidence to say that to a dean at one of the world's best universities. Just let me go with it. I would. That is interesting.

The one about the veracity of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets and stuff is really very fucking interesting and I'd recommend it. And Christopher Marlowe does pop up every so often as being a guy who might have lent his hand, perhaps. But I don't think it's a mainstream historical opinion at this point.

Right, okay. People think Shakespeare was the main guy. Yeah. Much like you were the main guy. Yeah. Much like you were the main guy at Murder Mystery Weekend. So basically, you were traipsing across Somerset trying to get a train to London. You'd changed out of your gear at that point?

Changed out of my gear at that point because I thought... Anyone notice? I thought, well, Club Wembley might not allow... They don't allow colours, but I don't know how historical those colours go back, to be honest. But you had a Club Wembley ticket, did you?

Yeah, I mean, we didn't know what we were buying because I bought it from a ticket reseller, as discussed on the Ramble. But my friend bought... I think he spent nearly nine grand. Holy fuck. On four tickets. And he didn't know it was Club Wembley

they said it wasn't Club Wembley and so he turned up with all of his shirts and his scarves and his hats brandishing the Newcastle United logo and indeed stripage and he got a uniclor to

redress his entire family for the trip it's good stuff if you're already nine grand And he had to go to Uniqlo to redress his entire family for the trip. Shit. It's good stuff. It's good stuff. I mean, if you're already nine grand in the hole. You're already in nine grand, yeah. You don't really want to toss good money after bad.

But, yeah, I think it was probably money well spent at that point. He's like, well, you know, in for a penny. Remind us. Yeah, exactly. You're done then. Otherwise, remind us how much you spent for your ticket. It's not important. It's not important. It's not important, but it was a considerable amount of money.

Just nod. Just nod or shake your head when I give you parameters of an amount. Okay? Right, okay. And I'll translate to this. If you think I'm going to allow Rory to have that video footage after I've done that, you've got another thing coming, Luke Miller. I know exactly what your game is

let me just let me just say don't you know when you're doing like a survey where it says are you aged between 0 and 16

17 and 20 we'll do that and I'll be able to tell just by your reaction what the amount is okay so was it

between 100 and 200 pounds no it wasn't. Definitely not. Was it over £500? Yes, it was. You dirty boy. You absolutely dirty boy.

They got pumped as well. Yeah. It was a good day out. It was a fun day out. No, but you've made yourself believe it was a fun day out. You've convinced yourself that it has to be a good day. It's not when people pay loads of money to go to Glastonbury and it fucking pisses it down and rain all weekend.

We will be having a good time. It's the fair weather fan tax. If you've got a season ticket, and to be honest the season ticket people didn't even get in. It was the people who attended early rounds of the Carabao Cup. They're the ones who got priority that took you

over a particular uh a particular pointage uh so yeah it was um yeah i wasn't ever going to get a ticket unless i um paid a tout effectively not i'm not proud about it but you know it's better content isn't it but after 15 years of doing a football show you surely got some good contacts in the game you could probably leverage those no well i? Well, I did. Yeah, I did. I mean, I got sorted out eventually, but it was, you know, the day of, and so it managed to get sorted out. But yeah, it was stressful. It was needlessly stressful.

But yeah, you can't rely on who you know. You've got to, you know, I believe in securing the bag, as the children say. Yeah. You were threatened to climb through the sewers at one point. I was. Are you tired?

Have you had no sleep today? You've had a couple of yawns, a couple of very public yawns. What's going on? What's happened? Tell Daddy Donnie. I stayed up watching the cricket. Now, is that growing up on a day you've got to be bright as a button? It's embarrassing, isn't it?

It's embarrassing. What happened with the cricket? You're just trying to impress Vish again. They lost by one run did they it was one of the best finishes to a test match

of all time I didn't see any of it oh that's fun oh you dozed off yeah at the point in which you dozed off were England losing

or winning or was it kind of just it's really in the balance I mean it's really very as exciting as cricket gets still firstly yeah

and you still firstly probably should learn the lesson shouldn't i really i just learned a lesson i'm just simply not that interested in it or my brain doesn't by the way on the um did you wear it so you didn't wear a newcastle shirt to the game last weekend i didn't i wore a coat that could be loosely interpreted as supporting pinning my colors to the mast so to to speak. Oh, you're so alternative. So alternative. Did you see the shirt that Matt Hancock was wearing? Absolutely dreadful.

So he is genuinely a Newcastle United fan though, right? One can only presume. He's got the shirt. He's got the signed Shearer shirt that he wears. Did you see, like, somebody pointed out that... Someone was saying that he was supposed to walk from here. Exactly. Like, that's lovely.

It's not only embarrassing that he's supposed to auction it. Exactly. Like, that's lovely. It's not only embarrassing that he's wearing a San Yacasa shirt just, you know, to film a TikTok. He's also... He was also supposed to auction it ages ago for the NHS. Incredible. That is obviously appalling. So that aside, did we feel comfortable about people gatekeeping

which people are allowed to like football teams and which ones aren't? In this case, yeah, definitely. And I think you agree with that, really. You're playing devil's advocate there. And I appreciate you. I'm not. I'm not. I would just like to say that I don't know if Matt Hancock

being authentically a fan of football and a team is a debate that should exercise some quite well-known and respected broadsheet journalists. Oh, were people up in arms? People would have a problem about it. He might be a complete dickhead who isn't of the political persuasion that you like.

It doesn't mean he can't like football, does it? No, and also he might just really like Saudi money that might really excite him he's come up the wood but I'm before this now before it was local

business I didn't have much money I'm not bothered about that I'm well up for this now yeah there we go it sounds like you had a nice weekend anyway Peter

it sounds like you know you offset the mainstream activity of supporting a football team by doing some customary, quite odd stuff that we know and love you for. So well done for you for ticking all those boxes. Any dramas travelling from Somerset on our illustrious train network back to London? Or was it all okay?

It chucked us off at Reading. The train was late. How much was it? The train was, compared to what I pay from my house every day, cheaper. Right, that's good. But from Somerset to London was cheaper than my journey from Messick every morning. But the driver said, yeah, sorry about that. We are running 20 minutes late.

So Control have decided to terminate at Reading. It's like, so hang on, you're late and now you're terminating at Reading because you're so late so I've just got to get off and find another train from Reading. It's a mad attitude, isn't it? Oh, by the way,

sorry, sir, this surgery's taking quite a long time compared to what we thought so we're just going to stop. We'll just leave you without a liver. Yeah.

I know this is supposed to be a transfer, you know, supposed to be swapping it over but we're just probably going to leave you with no liver. Transplant, you look.

Yeah, I was thinking transmission. Swapping it over. I'm tired, Luke. Swapping it over. I've received.'re swapping it over, but we're just probably going to leave you with no liver. Transplant, you look. Yeah, I was thinking transmission. Swapping it over. I'm tired, Luke. Swapping it over. I've received. We'll swap it over. Luke,

I've received a new puppy yesterday. Oh, this is great. No, let's not do it. Let's have a break. When we come back, we'll do the puppy,

because that's actually really good news. So let's have a quick break. Give people a little rest from this nonsense. Yeah. Listen to some adverts. Don't fucking fast forward them. And the other side. Oh, dude, just don't fucking fast forward them and the other side oh do

just don't do them on any place we can get stats about it yeah exactly the other side of this we'll talk about

House back in, you're back in your house after your paint-a-getting? Yeah, paint-a-getting's over now. Yeah. As I left the house this morning, they were just doing the final touch-ups because the carpet guys came in and... Scoffed it. Yeah. I mean, the carpet fitters were good, and I liked them,

and I liked the carpets. I've got no general complaint. I mean, we'll get on to Pete's dog in a minute, by the way. But the one thing I would say is the decorators did a really good job of painting our house, did say, have a word with the carpet guys and say that you've just had stuff painted and you want to be careful, so I will

and I don't think the carpet fitters had any time for that to be honest, I thought they had already decided they were going to do the job as quick as they could, what they're going to do the job as quick as they could. What they're going to do, right. And then the guy at one point went to me, I understand what you're saying, mate, but you're going to have absolute murders

with this carpet. And I was like, why? And he said, oh, because you've got to put it on the stairs, you've got to get it flashed. He kept saying, you're going to have absolute murders. And the other guy went, don't get me wrong, we're not a demolition squad. I was like, yeah, why say that in someone's house wow it's like mr positive and mr negative i'll say that yeah um and it's good because we used like a quite a good carpet company and the third guy

was actually very posh which i think is always interesting when you get a tradesman in your house yeah it's good it's good like he has like a pencil behind his ear yes old school he didn't drop any of his t's yeah okay nice and it made me feel like it made me feel like he was like a real this is by the way i am a working class person so i understand this is terrible snobbery by me of my own kind but it did make me feel like oh he's this will be great because he's obviously very clever and i hated myself for thinking that because he spoke nicer yeah mad innit

we still have these we like to think that we are precluded from that behaviour like that kind of oh it's got a nice accent respecting that

level of accents we're being judged every day by the fucking those horse fuckers you know at the posh end of the spectrum

yeah mad innit those chinless wonders I was thinking to myself Those horse fuckers, you know, at the posh end of the spectrum. Yeah. Mad, isn't it? Those chinless wonders. I was thinking to myself. That one will text in again. Yeah. I was thinking to myself, I hope I'm not being judged every single day of my life.

Like, I myself am judging this man now. Because that would be unacceptable. That would suck. That would absolutely suck. That would be awful prejudice. Well, I'm glad your carpets wasn't there a man in your house who was jumping around like a little elf

oh yeah that's a story that is a story so we'll do my dog next week because we've got batteries to get on with we'll do dog again next week

and then we'll want to hear about the man who jumps around your house bounces around your house like a crazy man dog on Monday dog on Monday bouncy man now yeah so the bouncy man thing's interesting so Bounce around your house. Bounce around your house like a crazy man. Dog on Monday. Dog on Monday.

Bouncy man now. Yeah, so the bouncy man thing's interesting. So when I had the carpet, the guy came around and measured the carpets, all that kind of stuff done. Bigger boy. That was actually the posh guy as well. So he came around and he measured it all up.

And it was fine. And I always think to myself, oh God, the house is a state. But obviously they're used to doing, some of them are used to doing mansions. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like a real pain in the ass. And to be fair to them,

I said they work quite fast and it was a little bit, it's cost me an extra half a day of painting to get it sorted again, but I kind of budgeted for that, so I understand. That's fine. That's fine.

Yeah. He said, oh, because you've got an old house, we'll get a guy around and he'll check all the floorboards, the squeaky ones and he'll fix them. And all you do is just pay him direct. So he comes

around, you turn up the day before and he'll do your floorboards for you. I actually want them done anyway and we've got a downstairs neighbour and it's probably not ideal for them having the squeakiness and all that kind of stuff. So, crack a door on the day before the carpets came,

doorbell goes, Wi-Fi of access to is at work. I answer the door and it's this guy, small fella, older. I don't want to be rude about him because he was a very, very nice man. And he was like, hello, I hear you've got some squeakers. And I just cracked up laughing at himself. And then he came up into the house, cut all the carpets out, and then just spent the next hour

like dancing around my house, literally dancing. And every time he felt a squeaky floorboard, he put a pencil cross on it. Right. And then he carried on dancing again. He was like, yeah, it keeps me fit. I love a glass of water.

Yeah, I love a coffee. It keeps me fit. And he was basically saying, because he was quite a small man, he needed to dance on them to hear the squeaks. Right, okay. So he had to give it a good old... So did he just sort of do a piece of footwork per floorboard,

or was he just kind of testing each one repeatedly, different parts of it? So it seemed to me like he started from the centre of the rooms, because that's where people walk the most. He danced on every single floorboard at one point and if it squeaked I think

I don't know this because I didn't actually speak to him too much about it but I think if it squeaked he definitely put a pencil mark on it

and then later on he fixed the ones he could but I guess there's probably some that have got pipes under them or whatever

so he couldn't screw in so he basically replaced it for a new one right ok so he pulled those ones up that's amazing so he brought his screw in so he basically replaced it for a new one right okay so he pulled those ones up that's amazing so he brought his own floorboards effectively

he had all the stuff with him yeah he also he said look I will probably miss one or two of these but it's just the nature of the business and so minimal squeakers I will provide you with minimal squeakers what a lovely job though you just walk into someone's house

and just run around it was very charming and he's been doing it since 1962 so you can work out the maths okay long time

he was an old fella yeah older guy and he put his he put his he put his his longevity down to the fact

that he's only ever drunk alcohol four times in his life. Nice. Okay, good. 21st birthday, stag night, wedding night, and the day he came out of jail. That's what he said. And I think that was a long time ago, to be fair to him. And yeah, that was it. And he was good as gold.

And actually, do you know what he also did? What did you get arrested for? Stealing pipes. Yeah Robin Howard. You haven't got no pipes no more stolen there. And then do you know

what he actually did as well? What? He said and this is a fucking great bit of service I tell you this is brilliant the carpets got fitted the next day

and it all went well apart from one of the carpets there was no clearance there wasn't enough clearance for the door. And we checked all the doors, and there should have been, but what that has to do is have to put a little ramp in. Anyway, cut long, still short, the door didn't close.

Without me even needing to call the carpet place, the floorboard guy texts me saying, oh, I heard from my colleague that you've got a problem with one of the doors. I'll pop around on Saturday, and because you're so nice to me and you looked after me, I'll pop round on Saturday, and because you were so nice to me and you looked after me, I'll do the door for free. And he turned up, and he took the door off the hinges,

he trimmed it with a circular saw to get it right, and put it all back on, and did it free of charge. Lovely. So he didn't take off the door. What a lovely chap. He didn't take off the door like I did and try and plane the bottom off it.

Planing just takes a long time. I would like to think he didn't do anything that you've done. Although, I have to say, followers on our social media accounts will be able to testify to this. The work you did on your own home around the damp issue, I can only speak as to what I've seen on photos or on the surface. It's like the Scottish issue. I mean, that is very much, it's like the Scottish issue.

Right. The Scottish issue, the Brexit issue. mean that is very much it's like the Scottish issue right the Scottish issue the Brexit issue right the damp issue what yeah but what about it why is it like that

I'm just saying it just sounds bigger than it is no but you did it I just wanted to say you did a very good job oh thank you Lewis for kind of it looks amazing

you've done brilliantly I could never do anything like that on the surface that's the thing though it's on the surface isn't it so like dig a little deeper

I've fucked it I'll fucked it. I'll cover it up. It's just all you've put in there is just cooked egg noodles. That's what you see a lot on, like, Chinese TikTok, don't you? Like, people use ramen. It looks good, but I can't believe it's practical. Ramen, and I imagine it's quite brittle, quite inflexible.

People just use ramen to fill in a hole in a bit of wood and they fill it with super glue, which is interesting. So it's super glue and ramen together at last and then they sort of shave it off and paint it. Yeah, it looks really good, but nothing, and I do mean nothing has ever been made better by putting cooked noodles in it. No, I mean, I think it's uncooked noodles. But it will be cooked as soon as it fucking rains.

Well, you don't be a pain in the neck before that happens, I guess. No one's ever said that. No one's ever said, tell you what, I'll sort that out for you. Noodles. Ramen. It won't work. Anyway, let's do the batteries. Let's do the batteries.

New dog on Monday. Batteries now, please. Okay, cool. Got a message from Nick C. it won't work anyway let's do the batteries we did new dog on monday batteries now please okay cool uh got a message from nick c oh nick i've already uh i'm already sort of shaking my head at this one here are two double a's that i came across on my trip to italy last year gp super get out ansman get out i mean gp super you can get out GP Super is the isn't the Samsung brand is that the GP Super I think it might be GP Ultra yeah

and Ansman Ansman rather hopefully at least if he's a new player I started listening in 2020 and I have to say the show definitely helped me get through

some tough COVID times keep up the great work Nick C we live to serve I feel bad for saying you need to get out now you said the show has helped you through

some tough times sorry about that Ansman listen GP Super you might as well say I think I've to serve. I feel bad for saying to get out now that you said the show has helped you through some tough times. Sorry about that. Hansman! Listen, GP Super, you might as well say I think I've spotted a brand new car no one's ever seen before and it's a Ford Fiesta.

Hansman, I mean, to be fair to you, Nick, Hansman, you're only the second person to send Hansman in. Well, that's not bad, is it? Yeah, our friend Fergus

sent them in in November of last year. So you're not too far behind the curve on that one. I'm afraid there's no new player for you there. David Nutt. Not the David Nutt. David Nutt from Brighton. Not currently the Edmund J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology

and the Director of Neuropsychopharmacology Unit in the Division of brain sciences at a particular university, Imperial College, which is one of the best scientific universities in the world. I fucking hope not.

Do you know what, you must, no, we're not moving on because I want to ask you this. Do you know what Dr. David Nutt is famous for? I don't know, but I hope it's

squirrel related. I really do, Luke. So I can have a little chuckle because you brought this in and the fact, better, like, give us some entertainment I don't know, but I hope it's squirrel related. I really do, Luke. It's not a squirrel. So I'm going to have a little chuckle. Because you brought this in, and the fact, better give us some entertainment. And if it doesn't, you're off the iJump, sunshine. Well, I'm paraphrasing here,

and I think you will remember this incident. I'm going to paraphrase it just to make it easier, and hopefully that's boring for everyone listening. Dr. David Nutt was dismissed from a position as, I think, a drug advisor from the Labour government under Home Secretary Alan Johnson because he came out with a really at the time, controversial opinion about the harm that recreational drugs

causes. And he was like saying, look, what the fuck are we doing here? This is a health issue, not a crime issue. All that kind of stuff. And the Labour government binned him. And before and since, he's been a very, very well-respected pharmacologist, very, very well-known.

Right. As I just said, he's head of a number of different units at Imperial College, one of the best scientific universities in the world. David Nutt was a big story under the Labour government probably about 20 years ago. Was he pro having a bifter or anti it? I don't want to besmirch his reputation.

I love it when they said the press conference. Hang on. Sorry, David. Dr. Nutt, sorry. Thanks for all that. Are you pro bifter or against bifter? Yeah. Dr. David, do you want to be taken to our dealer or not?

I think he's pro bifter. I think that was the problem. I think that was the problem. I think that was the problem. Nice. Anyway, David Nutt, who probably isn't that David Nutt. Maybe he would be pro. What's that nut?

I had it sometime. That nutty chew. Cat. Cat. Is that cat? K-H-A-T, isn't it? Yes, I think so. I had some in Taiwan. Munch, munch, munch.

You see the boys down Ridley Road Market always munching on it. In Dalston. That's what I remember it for. Hi, chaps. How do? Very long-time listener. First-time battery emailer. Legalize it.

Upon checking into our Mombasa Beach Hotel. Legalize it. Of course he's in a Mombasa Beach Hotel. Come on. Party time. What's the first thing to... Mombasa Beach Hotel? That's fucking great.

What's the first thing to do? Rip open the aircon remote control obviously don't need an aircon when you're smoking that icky sticky weed hoping to get a new player with us Penelika

batteries fingers crossed Dave Nutt from Brighton the most liberal council in the UK legalise it legalise it Legalise it.

Legalise it. Legalise it. Dr David Nutt, probably not. He has sent in Penanica batteries, right? Is that what you said? I got lost among all the...

I said Penanica, but I just gave it a little Italian flair. New player. Nice! New player. You should celebrate David Nt by relaxing 420 yeah nice oh wee a sneak dog would say

there we go oh dear have we got any more i think we've only got two there oh yeah there we are that's just a message. I didn't realise that was a message. This is from Neil. I'll bash through this nice and quick. Your man in Red Beach, New Zealand here. We've had some horrific storms here, including a bloody cyclone. Wasn't like this when you were here, Luke. Saw had a bit of tidy up and needed to give the house a wash down

to remove debris and salt water from the ocean spray. Oh, that would, I mean, that would rankle with the wood, wouldn't it? That would annoy the wood. Bought some 30-second outdoor cleaner, which is basically bleach from the smell of it. Should have used needles.

It came with this applicator thing, which worked reasonably well, but it was a used-once throwaway device, which really annoyed me. I decided to take it apart to see what batteries it had,

just for you guys, and lo and behold, four Modic Max AA's, or Modic Max AA's. I should be complaining to the company about the wastage from this product and the landfill that's produced. Yes, I bought it, but the store was out of alternatives, and I was interested in the gadget.

Anyway, pulp are excellent, so leave them alone, and talk more about computer games. Love the show, and keep away from the ocean, Pete. Neil. I'll keep away from the ocean. I'll keep away from the ocean spray. Oh, so it's like a little such a little device you would usually uh have this in like a a weed uh killer it looks like an electric toothbrush you would usually have like a hand pump a hand crank

to get the get the fluid out onto your um onto your dandelions but here they've sort of yeah they've created a little sort of um hand pump little hand pump that's powered by some Ultra Energy Morditch Max batteries, which is very exciting. I like that. Yeah, and what's even more exciting is they're also a new player. Lovely stuff. Two out of three, baby. It's the first time we've featured some Ocean Spray Defending House Cleaner

and also some of these batteries. Good to see, though. Fantastic stuff, Neil. Well done, my friend. Still getting two out of three new players in the battery game after all this time. It does beg a belief, but it's absolutely true. Yeah.

Is it two out of three bad? Was that the song from Meatloaf? There ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you, but don't be sad. Don't be sad, because two out of three ain't bad. Yeah, I'll have my review of Battle of Hell. It's absolutely fucking remarkable that this show's free. Isn't it?

I just think to myself, you fucking do a turn at the end of it like that, and it's free yeah unbelievable see you later see you on Monday we'll be back on Monday ta ta
