The Luke and Pete Show - Maggot Surprise

Episode Date: July 13, 2023

Pete started the day by clearing maggots out of his bin while his dog tried to hump his leg. We wish this was an exaggeration...In other news, Pete sent Luke an electric fly swat after we discussed them on the show recently and both lads take umbrage with the fact that producer Rory said a white chocolate Kinder Bueno is better than the traditional milk chocolate one.Want to get in touch with the show?

Thank you. On Monday, we publicly announced that our YouTube channel is in existence and we previewed our exclusive YouTube video. And then I told Luke that I'm thinking about getting back into video games at a time where I can ill-advise doing so. We also had an email suggesting Kanye had five 10 out of 10 albums in a row. and a listener told us about a dad pirating movies while working on an American airbase in the UK before being slightly worried he was public enemy number one, destroying all the evidence and never going back to that again. He very much was reported by producer Rory at the end of the show and hopefully he'll be being court-martialed

and all of his medals will be being burned in a big bin. Producer Rory's usual Crimestoppers number. And on the YouTube video, which is available to watch now go over to our youtube channel to watch that just search for luke and pete show in the youtube search bar we discussed elon musk stopping people using twitter and reducing impressions and we read an email about a listener getting stung by a massive jellyfish before pete uh greeted all of our listeners in each of the languages of the countries that listen to this show. That's the kind of stuff we get up to every single week, twice a week in fact, on the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Luke, he's Pete, what have you got Pete? In the words of Al Pacino, what have you got?

What have you got? Well I've got half a Kinder Bueno in front of me which is very upsetting because I know all the way through this recording of the Luca Pete show, I'm going to be just looking at it going, I wish I'd eaten the rest of it. You're going to try and scoff on mute while I'm making a particularly laboured point. When you get to the emails on the batteries later on,

I'll probably chomp that down. Very much my batteries. Well, I will say, speak a quick, Rory, producer Rory, basically said that he um enjoys the whiter chocolate variant uh it's not even chocolate it's not even chocolate i mean i'm you are someone who um sometimes will occasionally joke about firing someone that you work with and normally you and normally me uh and i and i've said on more than one occasion that i find

that very gauche but on this occasion i would like to fire Rory for being disloyal to the chocolate boy. I'll just say this to Rory and we'll leave it there because he's not got a right to reply, which is not fair on him, but white chocolate simply does not contain cocoa solids. If you pulled any key ingredient out of any other product and still called it the thing that it no longer was, key ingredient out of any other product and still called it the thing that it no longer was um for example would um boiled beef and cabbage or boiled beef and carrots be boiled beef and carrots if there was no boiled beef it would just be carrots did you did you where's boiled beef and carrots come from have you um because when i was at when i was at uni the first time round um we did university radio my friend chris and i had a show uh he

started out doing the ramble with us very early on they left because uh he thought no it's different different chris different chris he thought he was going nowhere um and the thing is i didn't for a long time well yeah well i'm still good friends with him now and the thing is i don't even get to say funny that in it because he does not give a shit he's not he couldn't be happier to not be doing it so he's got no purchase but anyway so we did a show together back in the day

on uni radio and we had a little jingle made up and it said I won't say his name because he's chosen to remain anonymous from public life

but it said Luke Moore and Chris they go together like boiled beef and carrots I think it was like a big like second world war meal or something

all I'm saying is boiled beef and carrots is not boiled beef and carrots without boiled beef. White chocolate is not chocolate without cocoa solids. It's just a marketing thing, Rory. Yeah. Cocoa solids does sound like... Good band.

Sounds like a pop song. Speaking of good bands, I've committed MAGA genocide today by filling a bin full of bleach and hot water while my dog that is rich in his teenage years he's still intact he's just started to hump my very shapely legs and so I'm it was there shagging like a tattoo of the bad guy from monkey island I guess he is he does go for the right leg more so I guess it is yeah it is it is a is a um a cat in the hat that he's humping I love the idea of a vet saying um vet saying yeah so normally dogs

when they reach this kind of age will start to exhibit this type of behavior and it's normally um perfectly understandable and they'll move through the phase however on this in this case Mr. Donaldson um I'm going to have to put the reasoning down to some very sexy tattoos. Well, he's making me think about dressing more conservatively in the morning. Finally! He's hot to trot as soon as he wakes up lately. And I'm like, I've got a kettle, I'm murdering maggots in my bin, and he's pumping away on my leg. It's not right. It's not right.

It's not great. It's not a great start to the day, to be honest. And I think you sometimes have those mornings where you go, hmm, this is a bad one. Because I remember the other one about two weeks ago, woke up at an ungodly hour with a screaming baby, of course, and my lady wife, lets me absolutely clear does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to parenting um said to me i'll take care of him do you mind

going getting a bottle made up and so yeah of course i went to wander into the kitchen at that point one of my cats who had had a cone put on him because he had an abscess that was drained yeah and therefore he can't judge any distances distances and was just wandering around bumping into things in the flat while simultaneously because he can't judge distances doing a massive liquid shit all over the bathroom floor and it was almost a bit like with all the senses the assault and all the senses it felt a bit like waking up in an asylum it's it's very much that there's only only so many times you can say to yourself let's deal with the alligator close to the boat but the alligator's on you and there's three of them and he's on them and they're on the boat and also their projectile

shitting all over the boat there is no boat there is no boat there is no water one you look down and the crocodile is the boat oh god let's deal with the tooth closest in the jaw of the crocodile. But speaking of the... Well, as we know with crocodiles, if you press all of the teeth in order down, only some of them will make the crocodile's mouth shut. If you know that game. You talk about that ball game. Isn't that removing the teeth, though?

No, I think you just push it down. Weirdly, you know what's two things are very popular in japanese um izakayas um uh bars um pop-up pirate and that game i was gonna say i'm a pop-up pirate man just weird kind of like i don't know why bukaro isn't it there's probably too many bits but like pop-up pirate is so popular in bars and so is uh the crocodile press the teeth down game i've no idea why. It's a good way to test if your mic's popping. Pop-up pirate is popular.

Pop-up pirate with Peter. Yeah, with Peter. I'm a pop-up pirate guy. I've never seen more enjoyment and excitement on the face of any human being than my niece when you're playing pop-up pirate. Yeah. It's like the most important thing in the world. So I was always a pop-up pirate guy,

but I was actually going to say to you, Peter, re-maggots. Let's do a little bit on maggots. Let's do a little bit on maggots. Why don't these two little maggots do a little bit on maggots? I once left when my cats were younger and they were still eating wet food. I left some wet food in the bowls in the morning and then went to work,

and it was a particularly warm day. And when I got back, what obviously happened was, basically, first of all, I couldn't work out why they weren't eating because the food was still in the bowl. And obviously, they've got a much more keen sense for this stuff than we have,

and they were just like not going anywhere near it. Probably took one sniff and were like, no thanks. And obviously, flies had laid eggs on the fucking food, and under the surface of the meat was a load of maggots. Oh, no. Which is disgusting. What I actually did, and I don't know if this is protocol, but I just chucked it all down.

Encouraged them to turn into flies. I just chucked it all down the toilet. Yeah, it's all right. I mean, that's absolutely fine, isn't it? That toilet seemed worse. Coming out of your bum. Yeah. I mean, the scale of the maggots found in the big bin

was so worse than anything I'd seen before. I had to hose down the black bags that I was taking out, lest my neighbours think I'm a scumbag. But it really was pretty horrific down there. It really was the tip of the iceberg. But the problem with maggots is you can't drown them because they only... And it's quite hard to poison them with blades and stuff

because they don't drink from the surface of the water. They would sort of break the surface a little bit to drink any of the fluid. So it's really quite difficult. And I'm having similar trouble with slugs and snails in my garden in my garden as well it's quite hard to get rid of slugs and snails when there's a little dog running around having a munch at the soil the dogs eat them will they uh yeah they'll have a go they'll eat anything that's not brown and they'll eat everything that's brown as well so basically if you if you put your dog in the garden and there's

a couple of slugs knocking about, your dog's getting involved. Oh, they won't... He's had a sniff. You can have a go and they will probably get sick. It's not a great thing for dogs to eat. Right. But for now, he's kind of not shown that much interest.

But it's certainly the slug pellets are the things that will... Oh, it's dangerous. The world's a mad place because you see a dog rummaging through a bin and getting stuck into all sorts. Sometimes they'll eat up their own sick and their own shit sometimes.

A kinder bueno, though. Don't give him chocolate. Put him six feet under. Yeah, exactly. Put him six feet under. It's crazy. What a disgusting start to the show. Sorry, maggots and kinder buenos.

Probably my fault. Which one would you rather eat? A white kinder bueno or a lot of maggots freeze-dried into the shape of a kinder bueno? I've seen our good friends at Kinder have brought back the Kinder Slice. There was always, not off-brand, but certainly off-reservation versions of Kinder products that you would see in supermarkets, etc.,

that I'd never seen before. It was like opening an entire new treasure chest of different Kinder products. They all tasted the same, and they all had weird saccharine pictures of the Kinder children on the front. And yeah, back in the 90s, you'd be like, what is this product?

I've never seen it before. Yeah, so the Kinder Slice. Well, I think I should say our friends at Kinder are owned by Ferrero, aren't they? Okay, yeah. The big European conglomerate. I'm a big fan generally of companies that don't bother reshooting their adverts for the British market. Just do the old dubbing over of the European advert, which is nice.

But the Kinder Slice, which I believe has been... I've certainly not seen it advertised for a very long time, but I saw it advertised yesterday. It's like a milk-based chilled filling with sponge on the outside right it's like a kind of a non-frozen ice cream sandwich basically a chilled ice cream sandwich yeah and uh the funny thing about it is that like you can buy them from the shop of course i guess they're expensive because everything's expensive these days but there's loads of recipes online of how to make your own um probably 10 times more expensive the amount you need you need nine sheets of gelatin for goodness sake i mean once it once gelatin gets involved i'm out have you seen in thailand mcdonald's i think it's thailand or

maybe another country around that way they have created created, might be India maybe, they have created a new burger that is just 24 slices of American cheese in a sandwich. It's absolutely disgusting. I think it's somewhere in Southeast Asia. I think I've got to remember. That little sliced cheese that gets stuck to the wrapper in McDonald's

is good. It is good, but you don't need, the Burger King, sorry, I hate to besmirch McDonald's good and dim good. It is good, but you don't need the Burger King, sorry. I hate to smirch, McDonald's is good as a nim. Burger King in Thailand has introduced its new real cheeseburger which consists of a bun with

20 slices of American cheese, no meat. Absolutely disgusting. It's so kind of childish. I like chocolate, so I'm going to eat 50 bars of it. I'm a grown-up. I'm allowed to do this. I made myself really sick one Christmas when my parents got me this big novelty.

I don't know if you remember them. I guess it was around the mid-90s. My parents have done the job. Oh, there you go. I can see a picture of it. I can see a picture of it. It's absolutely disgusting. Also, the admin involved in

making that 20-slice cheeseburger, it's just endless unwrapping. Nom, nom, nom, nom. Endless unwrapping of cheese slices. I think, well, it's just... Yeah, it is and it's kind of... Good to see they've toasted the bun, though. That's important. They've rotated each cheese slice so it's not all in one because that would look unappetising

otherwise, wouldn't it? It would. It would. So there was a product by Cadbury that came out around the mid-90s. And it was this novelty chocolate bar for Christmas. And it was a kilogram. Do you remember them? Oh, they were like massive dairy milks. Yeah, I remember those.

And my parents, I think, did an excellent job of parenting me. And any kind of failure I've had has probably been my own fault. It's been in spite of them. So I'm not criticising them generally, but I think my mum thought this would be a fun thing to give him. I think I was about 13 at the time. It wasn't. It wasn't? What, because you just started?

The first kind of bar worth would be delicious. The second, I can't believe this is happening to me, once you get to three bars worth of of dairy milk and i'm a man who has very much been um uh dealing with a pretty intense um mint twirl addiction uh lately right mint twirl never even heard of the product i'm happy to say that uh you can't you can't find them like hen's teeth at the moment would you rate it above an orange twirl oh yeah yeah hugely so hugely. But, yeah, they were absolutely delicious. But you can only get them in certain garages on the A13 motorway.

Interesting marketing decision by our friends at Cadbury. It is, yeah, mainly concerned with Rayleigh and Basildon. Yeah, just to cut in quickly, that was a weird thing when I used to, when my wife was still living in the US, and used to go to this frozen yogurt place called Sweet Frog. Right. And it was fucking cool. You choose your yogurt and it's one of those places where you help yourself to all your toppings and there's a million of them. Yeah.

And I was saying to me, there should be one of these in the UK. It's so good. And we looked it up and there was one. And guess where it was? Oh, Chelmsford. South End. South End. There's one in South End.

Hey, we've still got the Wimpy's down here. What's the thinking though? Well, I presume because they probably saw Wimpy's and thought, well, they're going to still do Wimpy's down here. Let's take on the Brown Derby, they thought. Exactly, yeah. Let's take on the Bender Burger. Anyway, carry on with your Mint's World chat.

It's just delicious. it's just endlessly delicious i mean i i i was a man who flirted with uh an orange 12 but um yeah i can really get on board this this i like i love mint chocolate i think it's perfect in every possible guise uh from your commoner garden uh after dinner mint to your your bubbly arrow i just think it's absolutely brilliant and one of our when we found that we knew for sure one of our colleagues who will remain nameless right one of our friends to your bubbly air roar. I just think it's absolutely brilliant. Do you remember when we found out, we knew for sure one of our colleagues, who will remain nameless, one of our friends and colleagues is a true serial killer

because they told us in the pub once that when they have dinner at home on their own, after dinner they arrange three after-dinner mints in perfect perpendicular line and eat them one at a time as a treat. That is a bit practical. Sitting in your dining room on your own, perfectly arranging them.

The glass of sherry. It's time. Yeah. It's time. So this one kilogram, this one kilogram bar of chocolate, ruinous. Absolutely ruinous, mate.

And also not practical because you crack it open and it's open. Yeah, there's no they should chocolate bar should give you extra foil to kind of patch weld the top the risk of sounding um sounding like i'm betraying finally fully betraying my working class roots um i'm a tony's chocolate man tony's choco lonely well that's very much the tony's choco lonely that's very much uh that's very much something that you see in supermarkets only, I find. I've yet to indulge, to be honest, but I've heard rave reviews on it.

So many different products, so many different options. I've circled around all the different ones really now. Now I'm a kind of crispy wafer milk chocolate guy. I'm a milk chocolate hazelnut crunch guy and my milk chocolate sea salt and caramel guy but what i do have to do is not have as many as i would normally because um it's so expensive i mean it's absolutely ridiculous how expensive it is yeah it's like three pounds 70 a bar that that is that is too much and it kind of i think if you're kind of flirting with that kind of chocolate,

you may as well put another dollar on there and go into the American import food market. No, because American chocolate is dreadful, isn't it? Well, all right, yeah, but you get more flavours of nerds. What are you talking about? Take that back. Different flavours of nerds.

You do get lots of different flavours of things. I'll definitely give you that. Exactly. My contention is that even now, after all this time, the Wi-Fi I have access to still doesn't have a full grasp of what pounds and pence mean. Right, okay.

So they will spend more than they expect? Just crack on. Just crack on. Well, yeah, exactly. I mean, money goes up and down, doesn't it? I am very excited about the possibilities of the weakness of the yen. You're still doing Newsnight? Yen's very weak at the moment. Money goes up and down, don't it? I am very excited about the possibilities of the weakness of the yen. He's still doing news night.

Yen's very weak at the moment. Money goes up and down, doesn't it? Money goes up and down. Chill out,

yeah? What do you mean you can't afford grocery? Shut up. Did I tell you that I think it was my friend,

well, my friend really, but our friend, Adam, he did the offensive with us. He did Boom.

He did, and season two of Boom's out now by the way came out on Monday so worth worth listening to it's flown to the top

of the fiction charts and rightly so and he did Jack and the Ripper right but his his stock in trade is as a theatre performer

actor singer and director that's his thing and he's been in some quite big shows he's been in like things like

Jersey Boys and some other stuff and he said like one some quite big shows he's been in like things like Jersey Boys and some other stuff and he said like one year the behaviour in the theatre has gone so far down that one summer

he was doing an evening performance of I think it might have even been Jersey Boys and and two women in the front row

were sharing a bottle of wine and watching the England game on an iPad. It's good stuff. I like it. I mean, it's incredible. It's the very definition of dual screening. Look, if you are going to be that into musical theatre and that into football, I think you should be allowed to enjoy both at the same time,

as long as you're not bothering anyone else. Stick your brightness down to 20%. What I like about it... Have some real glasses that's not going to make little scratchy noises when you drink from it. Is that your tip?

Yeah, exactly. Do it quietly. Sorry, Adam, I understand your point, but what glasses were they drinking out of? I like the rank selfishness of it where they...

Suddenly dawns on them they've booked tickets to the theatre on the same night as an England game and gone, well, we're not missing out on either of those. No. No, the whole world needs to fall into line behind us.

Surely you can get in touch with the theatre and sort of go, I'm going to be an absolute wreck in this performance unless you let us have a matinee ticket for tomorrow. Or at least swap seats with someone and go to the back. Go to the back, yes. Yeah, I guess so.

It's like, you know, when you go watch a gig and, like, someone's talking all the way through it. If you're standing right at the back, I don't think you've got any cause to complain. Yeah, yeah. But you're at the back. You're casually interested. If you're at a festival

and you casually decide to check a band out and you'll see what they're like, you stand at the back. I think you're within your rights to have a chat. Down the front, you shouldn't because that's where the fans are, right? It's about a bit of give and take

it's like I would say that I mean unless you're at a Bruce Springsteen concert that I was at stop going to gigs what?

stop going to shows you're getting the same many shows at the moment I want to see some stand up on Monday you having that? fucking no I'm not having that

stand up yeah I want to see Bruce Springsteen and the people who were in the just got back of you the thing about wireless the thing about wireless No, I'm not having that. You're going to stand up? Yeah. Yeah, I went to see Bruce Springsteen, and the people who were in the... Just got back of you.

The thing about wireless, the thing about wireless is that... I think it's wireless. It is wireless festival, isn't it? Hyde Park. The thing about wireless is they turned... I mean, it was already an absolute joke when it comes to VIP tiers back in 15 years ago.

I remember that. I've done VIP at wireless. Yeah. Now, it has got so ridiculous. There are so many different tiers of people 15 years ago I remember that I've done VIP at Wireless yeah now it has got so ridiculous there's so many different tiers

of people who are watching the gig so it's very hard to meet friends it's very hard to watch it if you haven't spent 400 quid on tickets

and stuff I was on a freebie but the Sarah got the Sarah won in a staff raffle a staffle and

yeah the people who were in our section, I don't think they knew more than about two Bruce Springsteen songs, and both of them were born to run. Did he play that twice? He played that twice, yeah. For some reason, I thought that Steve Van Zandt was dead. I think I confused him with Paulie Walnuts. Yeah, Tony Sirico's dead yeah

Tony Sirico one of my favourite facts about Tony Sirico who played Paul Gaultieri aka Paulie Walnuts in The Sopranos is that he only agreed to sign on

to play that role if he got a cast iron guarantee in writing that his character would never become a rat it's good stuff because I think he used to knock about

back in the day with some of the old types some some and he didn't ever want to be playing a rat in a rat the uh i remember when i went to uh um not finland what's the other one norway oslo i had to see um bruce springsteen on a press trip to uh interview him about wrecking ball why your story is so relatable i know right um well i, it's relatable because at the end of his soundcheck, he just sort of kneeled at the end of the walkway

and we shoved our microphones in his face and just asked, I mean, there's a lot of Italian journalists with us, I've said it before, this story, but yeah, they just asked questions about Italy and I was like, I can't use any of these. It would make it sound like I'd gone demented. Do your own journalism work.

Do your own journalism. Do your own work. Did you get a question? We only got one question. What was yours? Are you really Bruce Springsteen? That's it. Ah, fuck.

That's it. Your initials are BS. Ha ha ha, dick. Bye. Yeah, and so we, so Sitwater do that. And I was very surprised. I was in the same hotel as Steve Van Zandt.

And at that point, he'd gone from The Sopranos to do a Scandi sort of drama. Lilyhammer. Lilyhammer. And so he was a bigger star than Bruce Springsteen would ever hope to be in Oslo. Steve Van Zandt cannot go anywhere in Oslo. It's so funny.

It's so funny. There was so many people turned up to see Steve Van Zandt. No, I didn't. I've seen him out and about. He seems like a nice nice enough chap. You've seen him out and about?

I've seen him out and about backstage at festivals and stuff when he's when he's working. You've lost your common touch today. I've had a kinder

I've had half a kinder bueno. I'm an everyman mate. To be fair, you spent the morning hoovering maggots out the bin. You get to have a little bit of indulgence in the afternoon. Exactly, yeah.

Peter, we should have a break because Rory will do his nut otherwise. And then when we come back, we should do the battery brands because we've got a few new ones. White chocolate Bueno probably. To be fair, actually, I don't care if Rory's doing his nut today because he's fucking talking about white chocolate. He can get out. And he's just had a week's holiday as well.

Rory. Has he been away for a week? You've not noticed. I did! Because for some reason my computer, my email only tells me that when me, you, or someone else who may or may not have

problematic relationships with mint chocolates it tells me if they're off. And I don't find out whether anybody else is off. Pete, let's have a break. That's really boring. It's the fantastic, time-tastic, Look at Pete's show.

I'm Pete Donaldson, joined by Mr. Luke E. Moore, and it's a Thursday. So every single Thursday on the show, we talk about battery brands. I mean, I would say Luke ended the first section having a go at how boring I was about calendar concerns and people having time off.

But we're going to talk about batteries for about five minutes. Your calendar use is very boring and also very explosive. It's explosive. What do you mean? It's brilliant. It's brilliant is what it is. It's avant-garde. It's avant-garde.

It's very kind what it is. It's avant-garde. It's avant-garde. It's very kind of post-modern. But having my own silo piece of admin, I've gone out of nowhere there, sorry. I've completely lost my fucking mind. Just listen. It's not a new thing. If you're doing something that's of relevance to anyone else in a working environment, put it in the diary. If you're not, don't. I've done it. It and it's of relevance to anyone else in a working environment,

put it in the diary. If you're not, don't. I've done it. It wasn't of any relevance to anyone else, or was it? The only people who need to know about it. The problem is you don't think anything you do is of any relevance to anyone else.

I have a very low opinion of myself, and that's where I got fallen into trouble. If I open the calendar after this record and see, retrospectively, Pete Hoover and maggots out of his bin for the yesterday morning, that's a wrong use of the diary. The maggots might be his bin for yesterday morning. That's the wrong use of the diary.

The maggots might be in the calendar trying to figure out what's going on. Do they want a job? Rory has got in touch. Not that one. Not that one,

hopefully, unless he's making up nom de plumes for himself. I reckon he'd be doing a little bit more effort than this though. He's a Scotsman living in Switzerland,

this Rory apparently. Dear Luke and Pete, I mean he is a Scotsman, so dear Luke and Pete, after listening to your brief discussion on electric fly zappers recently, I promptly took it upon myself to purchase one.

While receiving my zapper in the post, I was delighted to find a pair of batteries included. A pair of shiny Texas, or Texas alkaline maximums. Keep my fingers crossed that these beauties make it in the Hall of Battery fame.

Keep up the good work, et cetera, et cetera. Scotland living in, Scotsman living in Switzerland. It's T-E-C, so like tech, and then X-U-S, Texas. Yeah, they're new players. They are new players. I knew they were going to be new players.

And it's good that our kind of like electric fly zapper chat kind of like kind of got together with our battery chat. So well done, Rory rory yeah well done to rory you sent me in the post unannounced an electric fly zapper and it's like a tennis racket right there's your admin yeah that was amazing well i actually used it for the first time i'd never even seen one before and i used it for the first time last week i was not prepared for the amount of noise it makes it's i am always surprised how much voltage two double a's can bash out at the same time on a real cracker lacquers i mean i hit i hit a reasonably sized blue bottle but not even a big bug and it made such a noise it woke up my son oh no yeah they do they do make

a bit of a noise and I'm finding it increasingly hard to keep track of the flies in my house probably because I've got a bin full of maggots outside the two are connected

probably and you've killed all the spiders and I've killed all the spiders that lived in inside us so yeah

it's good stuff Steve D. Luca Pete second time emailer and hoping to have a second entry to the Battery Hall of Fame during my trip to Japan

I'll naturally do what any Luke and Pete show follower would do visit everybody Hard Off to check the second hand remotes for new finds

I love the fact Hard Off is a second hand shop that you sell you buy air guns a lot of violins

and old manga and stuff like that stuff like that Hard Off air guns and violins and old manga and stuff like that. Stuff like that? Hard Off. Air guns and violins? They just seem to be very into Airsoft, the old Japanese.

Oh, Airsoft, yeah. Airsoft. But yeah, you've got like air guns and Book Off is the second-hand bookshop, which is very aggressive. Anyway, we spoke about Hard Off before, I think. But they don't sell them with second-hand batteries included. Yes, because people take care of things out there. But after three AirBs around Kyushu,

with loads of Panasonic, Mitsubishi and Xiaoying batteries, at a Nagasaki Airbnb, I struck gold. These used? It's the weirdest name, battery. It's a brand called Used? And it's got like a little space for you to, I guess, write a little, like have a little check mark next to yes. Ticker box, yes.

Yeah. It's ingenious and very odd. Yeah. It's not even like a brand name. It's more like a practical use thing, right? Yeah. Their brand is this kind of Benthamite's dream of utilitarianism. It literally becomes useful.

Used? Yes or no? It's great. It's really good stuff. I mean, you'll be unsurprised to hear that it's a new player. Right. I mean, if I was going to be a betting man

trying to find that in a battery brand, it's very difficult. But well done for getting it out. I'm very impressed by that. I mean, it's incredible the amount of creativity that's going into the skinning of batteries. Stephen Gossentz, thank you so much for getting in touch. Thanks, Stephen.

Absolutely great stuff. Philip from Germany. Hello Pithy Pete and Leafless Luke, long-time listener, first-time caller, etc. Big Purple, gut and gunstig attached. Yeah. Gut and gunstig. I mean, I guess gut is good. Gunstig is cheap Yeah. Gut and Gunstig. I mean, I guess gut is good.

And Gunstig is cheap, I believe. Oh, good and cheap. Yeah. Your podcast is great. Always a joy to listen to. Keep the great work. If you want, says Philip in Germany, gut und gut und Gunstig.

And the reason I know it stands for good and cheap is the same reason that it's not a new player because our friend Stefan, late last year, November last year, sent in Goot and Gunstick. So they've been sent in once before. So unfortunately for you, my friend, Philip, you have not entered a new player, but

thank you very much anyway. It's an interesting battery to look at. It's lovely to hear from you. Thank you very much for getting involved. If you found a battery, wherever you may be, hello at lookpeachshow.com is the way to do it on the emails. You can get us on

Twitter as well. We're on TikTok. We're on YouTube and Instagram too. We've got all of the bits and bobs. Oh sorry, do you want me to

follow up on that? It's pretty comprehensive. You looked like into the middle distance like you were witnessing an Oppenheimer sized mushroom cloud.

Oh I can't wait to see Oppenheimer. I'm actually looking forward to going to see that. Let's wrap up, Peter. Yeah, fair enough. We'll see everyone on Monday. Have a lovely weekend. Come back on Monday for more of this.

And we'll look forward to chatting to you then. Lovely. Ta-ta. the luke and pete show is a stack production and part of the Acast Creator Network.
