Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the look of, it's the look of Pete Shaw. I sounded like when they press the button on Countdown. Is it Countdown? No, it's Catchphrase. Catchphrase. Yeah, it's the look of Pete Shaw. How you doing? It's Pete Nelson with you and it is the Thursday the 17th of July because that's happened we're in the middle of I tend to think of summer as being half of May half of September and then June July August in the middle so by that notion I think the middle of July is exactly don't worry about what they tell you about the solstice and the rest of it. The middle of July in London is the middle of summer. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:00:47 I like that. The other day would have been the middle of summer. This week is definitely the middle of summer. I'm a big fan of that. You know what? That makes me happy. Because like Sarah, who's obsessed with the longest day, she told me that it was the longest day a few weeks ago and I'm like, no, no, not having that.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Doesn't mean anything to you. By the way, did I share with you that video footage of that few minutes in Hawaii every year with the sun directly overhead? Where the sun is directly overhead so nothing has a shadow and everything looks like a mad video game. It looks like a video game where they haven't applied shadows.
Starting point is 00:01:23 It looks like a half-life they haven't applied shadows. It looks like a Half Life tech demo. You never know nowadays, but it seems like a weird thing to cut. It's a really odd thing. As Pete says, the sun was for a few minutes in the middle of the longest day I presume in Hawaii because you're directly underneath the sun. There's literally no shadows to anything. It looks mental. It looks completely fake, which is why you can't tell whether it's real or not. But I presume that could be a phenomenon that would happen.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yeah, I completely agree. And yeah, so I mean they've selected the right whatnots and knickknacks to display. Because anything that is larger at the top than the bottom will have a shadow, presumably. So they've sort of chosen items that are fatter at the bottom and thinner at the top. So that means there's no, there's no shattering, but an astonishing thing to look at. And I hope it's real. I'm getting a little bit tired of having to check myself all the time. Doesn't mean nothing. Yeah. Like, yeah, it feels a bit like nothing we can enjoy is real. Like did you see that brilliant video of, I think this was actually real to be fair, but this video of that guy just totalling that other guy being obnoxious on the golf
Starting point is 00:02:27 court. When they start an AI version of Worldstar Hip Hop, I will sit up and take notes. I'll happily watch an ethically sourced AI, you know, baddies and bullies getting punched to punch the bits. For those who haven't seen it, there's a bloke on the golf course who is taking ages and these guys behind him are getting pissed off and so they're just remonstrating with him and then they just eventually just say,
Starting point is 00:02:51 look, if you don't fucking take your golf shot now, I'm gonna throw you in the lake. And it turns out the guy threatening to throw the obnoxious guy in the lake is like an NHL enforcer and this guy doesn't know. And so he just starts kind of chipping off at him. So yeah, he just gets thrown in the lake and then chinned. And it's the first time in a fight,
Starting point is 00:03:07 like an online fight that I've seen where the guy who was doing the beating, and trust me, the guy isn't badly hurt, so it's fine. And he does deserve it. But the guy dishing out the beating is just grabbing him and just going, bam, bam, bam. There's another one, bam. And it's tremendously satisfying to watch.
Starting point is 00:03:27 There's been a lot of memes about it. And the man just kind of gets thrown. He's just very, very... Literally thrown off the floor. He's just incredible. I mean, it's like, you know, I've got that physicality basically. So no matter how big my mouth gets, like any body north of 11 stone could pick me up and throw me. Like I'm just eminently throwable and I see this guy and I'm like, yeah he's definitely one to throw. He's just very throwable. He ends up in the lake. As promised. He does end up in the lake, yeah. As promised. I'm going to throw you in the
Starting point is 00:03:59 lake and then he ends up in the lake. You're like, you could not. It's up there with that man who throws the hand grenade and does a backhanded slap on a man in a pizza shop, which is just absolutely, Chef's Kiss beautiful. There's a really good one where there's these two guys, I guess it's possibly in Eastern Europe somewhere, there's these two guys standing in a path and a bloke walks past with his girlfriend
Starting point is 00:04:21 and one of them quite gently but nevertheless unacceptably happy slaps the girl with a backhander. Right. It's not like a really hard backhander, but it is like basically striking her. So it's not acceptable. And they're idiots for lots of different reasons, but chiefly they're idiots because they didn't notice
Starting point is 00:04:38 that the boyfriend that she's walking with, it's got like a local boxing gym tracksuit on. And he just ends up just jabbing them and punching them and they keep getting up and he keeps hitting them again and they keep getting up and after about 15 seconds you're like stop getting up. Just take your medicine, take your medicine and the bloke who's filming it is obviously a set up because the bloke who's filming it is filming it on behalf of the two lads who get their heads beaten in and he's filming it from the top of a nearby house. And you
Starting point is 00:05:09 could just hear him go, oh shit, oh fucking hell. There's my favourite one, well it's not my favourite one, but it's one that was flying around the internet a couple of weeks ago where there's a guy who does that kind of like fucking stupid filming where he goes around filming like town centers at the crime and then he goes around testing the limits of community policing and so you know those kind of guys who just check like a kind of like checking legal like I'm actually allowed to be in this road and they're going on those kind of Magna Carta men yeah so there's a guy who just basically floats around just filming you know Leeds City Centre and Manchester City Centre and he just
Starting point is 00:05:51 happens upon because it's a Sunday Saturday there's gonna be three or four fights during the day you're gonna see anyway these this guy he's clearly been attacked before because he's got bodyguards he's walking around filming he's walking around filming these people and this lad, this little fucking toerag, who's clearly carrying a knife or something and he's threatening to hit this old man. Anyway, so this other bloke gets involved and he threatens to punch him or whatever and it gets physical I think. Anyway, the guy, the kid with the knife, this young lad who's like all fucking balaclava dog, all this fucking nonsense. They must stink.
Starting point is 00:06:27 They must get really hot. They must absolutely. They must be so hot. Imagine teenagers. I see them cycling around here. Teenagers with puffer jackets on and balaclavas. They must absolutely. I remember how much I stuck in Hartlepool and it was never hot. And you probably always had an involuntary heart on as well.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Exactly, good point. Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't want it to be hot, it might explode. Plug that in your belt. Exactly, I'm carrying. Anyway, so this guy's got on camera this guy having an altercation and losing the altercation where another bigger boy turns up and says, trying to hit an old man, fuck off, and slaps him or whatever. Anyway, so this guy starts following the Magna Carta man around going, you're gonna give me, you're gonna, uh, you're gonna give me that footage, you're gonna delete that footage, you're gonna delete that footage anyway, this is later in the day, you're gonna delete that footage, and this guy uses bodyguards, just, you know, separates him from the Magna Carta guy, and like, as cool as you like, just fucking slapsaps him and then does a cool Krav Maga
Starting point is 00:07:26 fucking boot to the stomach and the kid just goes down he just absolutely folded and he's like and then and then they run off it's really weird then they just run off There's nothing better than someone who deserves a hiding yeah particularly like neo-Nazis I find. Yeah, oh yeah, anything like that. There's a real, there's a brilliant video of, it's like an American music festival, it's a punk festival. Not that big, but like, you know, big enough,
Starting point is 00:07:58 I guess it's like an alternative punk festival or something. Which has obviously got its own kind of issues around the margins of people in that type of persuasion. There's a bloke, he's quite old, probably about our age. At one point I think he takes his jumper off and he's got a Nazi t-shirt on. And fucking people just turn on him. He's basically legging it out for his life. At one point he gets tripped over and someone pushes him over again and he loses his hat.
Starting point is 00:08:25 It's good like because at Old School Punk you're either vehemently racist or vehemently not racist and there's no sort of middle of ground is there really? And there's fewer of the racist than there are the non-racist. It's one of the most amazing examples of misreading the room you'll ever see. He's long gone, he's got five minutes after he takes a jumper off he's had a beating and he's had a beating and he's legged it. I don't know how he's explained it. He looks like the kind of guy who's got like, who's married with like five kids. So he's probably on his day off.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Solid. And he's got to go home early. Absolutely solid, yeah. With a fat lip. Brian, what are you doing home? It's only four o'clock. Did you wear the t-shirt again, Brian? Brian, did you wear it? I told you not you wear the t-shirt again Brian? Brian did you wear it? I told you I told you not to wear the t-shirt Brian There was a guy in a kiddie pool when I was on holiday that had a lot of tattoos and he's wearing a t-shirt And I was like what are you wearing a t-shirt? You got into something really bad or really embarrassing. Did you always fear the worst? I don't know young lads
Starting point is 00:09:20 They just I think. And that's you saying it by the way I know, exactly. You've got a couple of cancelled tattoos. I've not got a cat in the hat. Do you have to wear long trousers? I've got a cat in the hat. Have you gone on holiday now? I've got a cat in the hat tattoo. Isn't it the thorax, the florex? I forget what the character is, but he's always on the telly, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:09:36 The cat in the hat's still got a bit of juice in him. He's not been fully cancelled, has he? I think... Dr. Seuss had some... The cat in the hat's dad has been cancelled. Right what do you mean the Cat in the Hat's dad? Well Dr. Seuss is his dad and he created him. Oh the creator...
Starting point is 00:09:53 You know like the bloke who wrote Andy Cap, equally cancer-able presumably, wasn't called Andy Cap's dad. Andy Cap is pretty obviously bad right? I think he may have beat his wife a few times yeah. Harleypool! This guy was from Harleypool. We've got a statue. Still got a statue for him. So apparently Dr. Seuss has had six books taken out of circulation because of racial insensitivity. But you can say the same about Hergé and Tintin. Yeah he's still kicking a ball isn't he? I've got a great memory of reading Tintin as a kid and I thought to myself, I think I told you this
Starting point is 00:10:32 before, like I got the Calvin and Hobbes collection for my son for when he's old, I used to love Calvin and Hobbes and I almost got him Tintin and I was like oh yeah I can't buy that. Get him the European ones. I can't buy him. Tintin in I was like, oh yeah, I can't buy that. Just get the European ones. I can't buy them. Tintin in Belgium. No, it's actually the Congo. Yeah, sorry. The Congo ones are worse.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Maybe the Belgians better. So yeah, you can't do that. So yeah, things changed. Peter, by the way, on Monday, we ended the show talking about Bloodfest. Young Blood, yeah. Young Blood Festival. And that inspired-
Starting point is 00:11:02 Y-U-N-G, Young Blood. That inspired a few pieces of correspondents asking what PeteFest would consist of. And I think people want to know not just the musical artist, but the overall vibe, the feel, the food, the location. Because you famously won a concrete Glastonbury over the same way I won a concrete over Wumberland. The tennis club, not the area. Move it closer to a major railway station, move it away from Stonehenge, you are only playing into the hands of the
Starting point is 00:11:30 Leyline people. It's not that close to Stonehenge mate. It's quite close isn't it? I don't think so. Is it not? We drove past it a little while ago. It's quite close isn't it? I thought Stonehenge is in what? Cracking on for Cornwall isn't it? Devon? No, Stonehenge is in like Wiltshire, like Glastonbury's in Somerset. Yeah, it's well over an hour away. Well, if you carry it in your store, yeah sure. It's that kind of mysticism, I get what you mean. Yeah, is that silly nonsense?
Starting point is 00:11:57 But yeah, I think I, when I was on holiday I bought a, I think I sent you a picture of some delicious Polish meat in a jar. It wasn't delicious. It was awful. Delicious Polish meat. And I sent my dad the same picture and it turns out he had like almost the same jar in his collection. We're just two guys enjoying tripe.
Starting point is 00:12:17 So you'd have jellied tripe in jars. You get one of those with every particular purchase. Yeah exactly. There's a German brand of... Imagine the guffs at your festival. It's awful. You get one of those with every particular purchase. Peppered jelly tripe. Yeah, exactly. There's a German brand of... Imagine the guffs at your festival. It's going to get awful. There'll be guffs anywhere.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Well, no, because my carbon offset will be nor real ill. So it has to be cooking lager and cherries. That's all we're having. Would you prefer to host or curate one of those city festivals, like Meltdown or something, or would you prefer to do a curate one of those like city festivals like Meltdown or something or would you prefer to do like a festival in it? I want like one of those kind of Finnish dark metal death metal sort of ones that are in like an aircraft hangar like an older army base or something I think that'd be pretty cool. Like Woodstock 99. Exactly like well not that's not a great example but I mean
Starting point is 00:13:03 death metal death metal is problematic because black metal and stuff is, again, very, very difficult territory in the wrong area. I'm off to Latvia in a few weeks and the only thing that's happening in Latvia that weekend is one of those festivals where you cannot work out what name the bands are because they've all adopted the exact same way of drawing their logos. I imagine Latvia does a really good line in heavy metal. Yeah, decent heavy metal, yeah, I look forward to that. So my friend Woody, who I went to Iron Maiden with, who I play music with sometimes, brilliant musician, amazingly eccentric man and incredible musical knowledge. Every time I see him, he's got another five different bands that he loves and he loves really heavy music and he sincerely recommended a band to me the other day, which was a band called
Starting point is 00:13:52 Nile, N-I-L-E, as in the River Nile, who are a technical, brutal death metal outfit who only write songs about ancient Egypt. And all their artwork. How deep do they go? I was thinking, first of all, they must play a walk like an Egyptian, surely. It's the only song. It's all original stuff. Right. They've never flown with a bit of bangles.
Starting point is 00:14:17 My mind leapt to how do you even form that band? Yeah. How do you find people that are like minded enough? Do you find that those kind of places are you probably start in one band and then you kind of just you start with other members of different bands and then you start you get a bit of heat because you're exclusively doing songs about ancient Egypt. It's not a bad hook. In a world full of the same kind of fucking bands it's not a bad it's not a bad hook. It's not a bad... In a world full of the same kind of fucking bands, it's not a bad hook. There was that famous...
Starting point is 00:14:45 I can't remember the fucking name of it. They're quite successful. Yeah. But they've got a drummer, right? They've got... So basically the reason it came up is because my mate Woody's a drummer. And so the conversation came up, because we were always talking about drummers. I'm quite obsessed with drummers.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I can't really drum very well, but he's brilliant, right? And he was talking about how he thinks the best drummer in the world at the moment is this guy called George Collius from Nile, who's Greek. And he said he's basically the fastest drummer in history, but he's technically amazing, right? And he also, so he's in this band Nile and he's based in Greece. But he also, I think, so basically what happens is, because he refuses to leave Greece, they send the masters to him, and he plays the drums over the top of it.
Starting point is 00:15:38 And he also teaches, I think he's like the head of music at the modern music school in Athens. He's a Super technical drummer. And if you listen to the music, and I'd recommend anyone even if they're not into this kind of music, to take a couple of minutes out on your Spotify and go and give it a listen. I mean, it is insane. It's un-listenable in my view. But if you bear in mind that like nothing has been done to speed it up, it's all organically done it is remarkable to listen to 280 beats per minute
Starting point is 00:16:10 yeah it goes from 200 to 200 to 280 beats per minute at some points I mean good god. So he's done like little studies and stuff into how he can so basically how he can not waste excess energy while on double bass drumming to make himself go as fast as possible. He's developed his own like painstaking technique that he does double bass drumming. Honestly, it's mental to listen to. It's turning music into a sport basically, which I don't really agree with personally, but it's a fascinating area. It's basically playing Dragon Force on rock band and it's playing as fast as possible yeah it ceases to be music at some point but
Starting point is 00:16:48 there's a lot I like the there's some quite proficient quite famous YouTube drummers who have been caught shifting their drum beats around a little bit in post right so I'm like having the video and sort of they're amazing and stuff and they do of course they're very good anyway, but they're just tightening up a little bit and squeaking a little. I think a lot of artists do that now. Yeah, a lot of artists do of course, but I think YouTube is sitting and saying look how fast I am, look how proficient I am and then these people are sort of going through like the time series and sort of going well I think you might have sort of, it looks very, feels very robotic at this point, more
Starting point is 00:17:23 robotic than a human is naturally predisposed to be. I really want to do a sketch where you know like those Drumeo guys sit down and they... they had this guy from the Cirque du Soleil band and he... I bet he's good. Well I'm sure he's very good yeah he was very good and they can see all these Drumeo things, they'll sit a jazz drummer down, they'll sit like a really proficient drummer down, a couple of actors as well in there as well, where you can drum, and they'll basically play them some drumless famous songs, so like you know the killer's Mr Brightside or something you know, and or Metallica or something, and they will come up with a drum part, they'll improvise a drum part, they'll through it a few times and then they listen to the real thing and see how far away they are.
Starting point is 00:18:09 It's usually, it is a bit busier. It sounds excellent, still sounds great, but it's just a little bit busier. Anyway, there's a guy from Cirque du Soleil who's drumming and he apparently has never heard the Smashing Pumpkins. I'm not having that! Yeah, I don't buy it. I don't buy it either. It's another Donaldson TikTok idea I'll never do. But have a drummer and he's like... Put it on Vine. And you've never... You say you've never listened to Papa Roach and he's just mouthing along with the words that he's never heard.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Yeah, that's basically what it feels like. And he takes his top off and he's got a t-shirt in the band. I saw Steve Jordan who's the replacement drummer for the Rolling Stones because Charlie Watts died. He's like an amazing drummer, but he's known as being like a really basic, simple drummer. Just doing it, getting it done, not kind of extravagant, letting the rest of the band breathe because obviously he's a replacement drummer for the Rolling Stones and loads of people probably would prefer to watch Keith Richards and Mick
Starting point is 00:19:06 Jagger. Anyway, all Ronnie would. Anyway, he was on Drumeo and they gave him like an Incubus song. It's like a really boring song. And he just played as he normally plays and he just got done dirty in the comments. Everyone thought, this guy's rubbish. It's like, he ain't no, fuck it, this is the most boring thing I've ever watched. It's like, yeah, no, this is the most boring thing I've ever watched. It's like, well, what do you expect? Well, they gave him like, Are you in or something? Are you in? Yeah, I can't remember which song it was. It was like, Steve Jordan has been like, drumming for some of the most amazing artists since like the mid-70s.
Starting point is 00:19:38 And he'll had different levels. He'll know that, to more sort of like really good drummers, rock drumming and like stuff like fucking Incubus, it's not interesting, do you know what I mean? It's just, it's quite low level stuff. My friend's grandfather was a jazz drummer and I have a memory when we were kids of, they were topping up pops on something and his granddad was over and he was watching, I don't know, fuck it, I don't know who it was, some 80s band or 90s band and he was cracking up going, look, it looks like he's chopping wood. He's just chopping wood. Anyone would do that.
Starting point is 00:20:12 By the way, just before we move on, if you do want to check out Niall and the amazing pace of their drummer, I would recommend starting with the album, The Underworld Awaits Us All and start with the song Chapter for not being hung upside down on a stake in the underworld and made to eat feces by the four apes. That's where I'd start in terms of a song title. Okey dokey, lovely stuff. Yeah, give that a bash. Yeah. Alright, we're going to take a short break and we're back with, well, five or six minutes of batteries, if that's alright with you. Five, six minutes of batteries, if that's alright with you.
Starting point is 00:20:44 We're back with a look at Pete's show. John has got in touch and he has brought forth his suggestion for the batteries that he's found in his life. Hello lads on holiday last month in Portugal and discovered these while providing my one-year-old son with a perfectly safe batteryless TV remote kids toy to distract him for a minute or two. Good shout. Good little tactic that. Yeah, not too bad, not too bad at all. Yeah, probably not a new player but he who dares, as Pete's famous favourite sitcom character would say. Green Max. Green Max. Was that like a robot? Boy Max or something? Wasn't there like a sort of Pixar film about a Green Max robot?
Starting point is 00:21:20 Something Max. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. So I can't find Green Max in the inbox, so'm declaring it a new player and if you've got a complaint get it into the usual place but for now John congratulations that my friend is a new player. Fantastische. Well done John and let's move on to Chris Laird's suggestion I come to you from the Canadian Rockies in search of a new player to finally give me the elusive Bat-Trick. How about these beauties from my son's remote control car. Likewise, super
Starting point is 00:21:52 heavy duty. Tres resistants. What a name for a battery by the way. Likewise. I'm trying to use it in a sentence but it doesn't really fit with like does this require batteries likewise like there's no Likewise doesn't really fit with the word battery Is that a battery that's just been made in China and they've just found a random English word to put on it? Yes, probably. Probably is right. They've written in French very resistant Yeah, tre-resistant. Tre-resistant. The drummer of Green Day of course. Yeah, speaking of drummers, it's a new
Starting point is 00:22:29 player, Likewise is a new player. Oh my goodness, super heavy duty Likewise. Look now, now now now now now now. Ryan Byrne's come in with a suggestion this time round, so we've got two new players and we're going for our own bat trick this week on the show. Hiya Pete and Luke. This is my first entry for the battery daddy. I mean I'll stop you right there because this ain't fitting in any slot in our battery daddy. They're pre-drilled Ryan. I'm a part-time postman and the PDAs we use for scanning the many parcels uses this bat... hang on... I'm a part-time postman and the PDAs we use for scanning the many parcels we use contain this battery. I could have a third go at that
Starting point is 00:23:12 but I think we've kind of got the gist. I think you should, I think you should because I just enjoyed it. I'm a part-time postman, full stop. The PDAs we use... the other PDAs have a personal digital assistant, is it? I can't remember. The PDAs we use for scanning the many parcels uses this battery. That's the thing that's confused me. I've thrown myself into it. I put the entries in this week and I forgot to do the proofing. Right, okie dokie. Well, you've absolutely sold me a Zebra in this case.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Zebra is the brand of the battery, but my god. So explain it to the listeners. It's a lithium-ion battery in a plastic case that clips into the bottom of the PDA. Now inside the Zebra Technologies Corp, Holtzville, New York company plastic there will be a lithium-ion battery that we possibly could consider getting in there it's probably like a Samsung or whoever whoever provides these batteries but I don't think bearing in mind that Zebra seems to be or appears to be the brand of the computer that you're using the plastic shell lithium-ion battery is also Zebra I don't think this counts
Starting point is 00:24:24 because that is the brand of the casing rather than the brand of the battery itself and I am willing to die on that hill. There's no slot for it as you rightly say. There's no and there's no slot for it as well. It can't be used in any other device right? No and it's a shame because it's a great little image clearly taken in some kind of postal van with a lovely royal male red shirt which, I mean, I could tell Ryan you're part-time because those colours are fantastic. I mean you've not watched that more than twice, that's beautiful. What a beautiful red. Part-time these days, both Sanof and I get my post eh.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I get my post every day, I'm quite happy with my service. One of them's called Ed, nice bloke, got a ponytail. They do try their best. We talk about ponytails. It's not their fault, it's the bloody management upstairs. It's the bloody management, isn't it? Cut them off on their knees. It's like the funding, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. I like it that you used to be able to be a postman, start at like 5am, do your rounds and then come home and get paid for the rest of the day.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I almost guarantee that stopped in the 70s. Yeah, I'm saying it doesn't happen now. Yeah, a three day work week. Yeah. So day work week. I don't think that's... there's no way you can kind of... there's no way you can kind of game the system these days you know. Like back in the day I remember... Throw up in the river, you can still throw a post in the river. Manninghart is still going to trouble for that. I don't mean post specifically. 20 years ago we used to work at this place, it was a government place and we used to be on flexi time, right?
Starting point is 00:25:46 And the flexi time was just a card, right? You swiped. And what we used to do, and I'm not ashamed to say this because we all worked to the bone, right? When you have your lunch break, you had to swipe out. And then we would just take it in turns every day for one person to get all the cards, go back to the machine, swipe them back in after half an hour and then stay in for another half an hour. I just don't reckon you'd get away with that now.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Well I mean now it is, you'd be tattooed wouldn't you? You'd have like a chip inserted into your body. Into your penis. Into your penis. It's probably all phone based now isn't it? Where they probably got locators on your phone for crying out loud. I would say that when you are... I just sort of think that there's... My sort of history of working a proper job, I remember when Half-Life 2 first came out. It was one of the first video games to be released on sort of steam and you the DVD that came in the box had the game on it but you could only unlock it if you
Starting point is 00:26:52 had an internet connection now I didn't have one of them at home so in Holloway so I basically took my I brought my hard drive in took my computer apart the computer I have at work bearing in mind I was not an IT guy. I was a marketing like website guy And I just took apart my entire computer put the home hard drive in updated the the steam setup and and then took it back home again and and you know the people who I work with in the
Starting point is 00:27:21 and then took it back home again. And you know, the people who I worked with in the local government housing quango in Vauxhall Bridge Road at London, Victoria, were just sort of looking at me and they never really, they just assumed that I was doing something important, but I wasn't. I was gaining access to Half Life 2. To be fair though, it was a very good video game
Starting point is 00:27:41 and it changed a lot. Changed a lot. It worked out to be worth it in the long run right? Well yes, now I resemble Gordon Freeman with my mustache, thick horn rim spectacles and crowbar. So there you go and I do fight aliens in a dystopic future. Will the similarities never end? I know right? Peter, let's get out of here. I want to suggest something quite controversial though, before we do. I think I'm going to basically say that we need some more emails because...
Starting point is 00:28:15 Whoa, whoa. We must film. I tried to look through some earlier. There's loads in the inbox. But you know that thing where you stare at something for so long, it just never gets done. Like, I just feel like I need some fresh impetus to get cracking. So if you're interested in anything
Starting point is 00:28:31 that we've talked about today and you want to email about it, please do so. It's hello at loupethepeachers.com. Maybe we'll do another one of our famous email specials coming up in the coming weeks and we can get through a backlog here. But in the meantime, do send us in some, if you've got anything that we've talked about today
Starting point is 00:28:47 that you're particularly interested in. Yeah, I'll leave you with George's little emails. We can just track this one off the ledger. He posted a picture to us of my home train station, Leoncy, don't mind admitting that, it's a big place. And they've got basically a massive advert for Pepto Bismol. Yeah, they had that in West Norwood as well for a while.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Oh did they, right. Yeah, yeah. Must have been a big out of home push. Yeah, well George was basically saying that they may have done their research and done like a targeted marketing campaign at me, because I'm obviously famous for my dreadful gastrointestinal tract issues. How dreadful gastrointestinal tract issues. How is your gastrointestinal tract at the moment? It's fine, I've been keeping up with my meats.
Starting point is 00:29:30 That's what the doctor says these days when you walk in the surgery for the first time, you're keeping up with your meats? You're keeping up with your meats, I had a fish finger sandwich for lunch. That is a classic. I've been going on with a little elliptical trainer. I'm just eating a lot of kids food, a lot of pasta, a lot of fish and chip sandwiches. Brilliant. I love that.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Well, as long as you're in fine fettel, Pete, that's all I can eat. Good for you. Feeling good. All right. See you on Monday. Yeah, we'll see you on Monday. Thanks for listening. Ciao ciao.
