The Luke and Pete Show - Man! I Feel Like an Unknown Euphemism!

Episode Date: January 27, 2022

Welcome back! We start today’s show in the most obvious place: Shania Twain’s Wikipedia. We then take a deep dive into a series of film and TV reviews before hearing about Pete’s Eye of Sauron. We’ll let you decide if that's a euphemism.Finally, we have time for battery brands and hear about some of Luke’s lookalikes. Know anyone who looks like Luke? Let us know, email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

let's go girls yeah i'm going out tonight i'm feeling all right that song this is the luke and pete show by the way i'm luke and that's pete that song has partly ruined my life because someone once said to me, when you listen to that song, you can imagine it's a song that makes your mum feel sexy. Shania Twain, she had a lot of opinions about women, about Brad Pitt, about cars, about... And it just made me sort of feel like nothing I would say would be right for Shania. Yeah. So I just think we wouldn't be able to get together or hang out.

You wouldn't impress her much. Yeah, I just don't think I'd stack up because she's not impressed by Brad Pitt. She's not impressed by someone with a cool car. What's left? That's what I say. I can't believe you kiss your car goodnight, which I think a lot of people thought say i can't believe you kiss your car good night which i think a lot of people thought was i can't believe you kiss your carpet knife which is a bit

of a weird thing i know you mean twain has i mean let's do as much as we can on this thursday's luke and pete show on um chanel twain i think she so first and foremost when you're looking at a celebrity that you know a little bit about and you can talk a little bit about for a while but you don't know that much about them on this show Pete

the first thing I do I don't know about you is I go to Wikipedia type their name in and just briefly check if there's a little section called controversy and if there isn't

your files just crack on why would there be a controversy next to Shania Twain well I'm not saying there is but sometimes you'll be like,

oh, that person, I don't really know that well, but I remember from the 90s and I really liked them. And you go off on one about them and then you click on their Wikipedia and it's like they've done a racism. I didn't know. Yeah. I stick to giving props to people who are...

Because Lance Reddick on Twitter... Is it Lance Reddick? The guy out of The Wire? The stern police captain who's very muscular and skinny. Cedric Daniels he plays, yeah. Yes, yeah. He's very funny on Twitter,

like really fucking funny. Right. He's on the Eric Andre show, he's got real chops about him. Yeah. And so as long as you stick to someone who's famous for doing something in the last 10 years,

you're usually all right, I think. Yeah, fair enough because no one else has bothered cancelling them so why should it be on you is that what you mean yeah it's exactly and and she and i twain apparently um carried the olympic winter olympic torch through her hometown in ontario um back in 2010 i didn't even know she was canadian i literally didn't know that well you you have a long and storied history with upsetting canad suggesting that people are American when they're actually Canadian and vice versa. No, I get in trouble with Canadians because I once referred to Canada as America's hat.

Correct, yeah. And I was saying that in jest. And I think that they should have understood that and accepted that, and it was a joke, because Canadians have got a great reputation for being able to laugh at themselves, right? Yeah, I mean, they made Seinfeld, didn't they? Did they? What are you talking about?

It's like New York, isn't it? Yeah, famously. Shania Twain has also sold over 100 records, and can you tell me... We're not going through Shania Twain has also sold over 100 records and can you tell me we're not going through Shania Twain's fucking Wikipedia before we move on we're doing one more before we move on just accept it

what's her real full name, what is her real life name so her surname is Twain so you can have that one for free what's her first name in reality Benjamin Franklin Shania Twain, I just don't know I'll give you a clue that one for free. Okay, right, yeah. What's her first name in reality? Benjamin Franklin Shania Twain. I just don't know.

I'll give you a clue. I just don't know. Eileen. Her name is Eileen. Eileen. That's like, there's so few Eileens in modern life.

Yeah. Eileen, is it Eileen Drury? Yes. Drury? Yes. Was she the FA executive or something? No, mate. She was the faithier that Glenn Hoddle hired.

That got her in a lot of trouble. She never had a job at the FA. To be fair, they are mad at the FA, but I don't think they're quite that mad. I'm getting her confused with Faraya Alam. Yeah, she had a friendship with Svenja and Erik while working at the FA and I just said friendship because it feels like it's the least libelous

thing to say I'd like to hear our listeners make a real passionate plea for the world's most famous Eileen because I'm looking through the list now and they're an absolutely fuck all I can't find a single one that I think is

household name famous So where is this? Ontario? No I've just typed the word Eileen into Wikipedia Oh how many Eileens, sorry I was going to say presumably there's lots of people from Ontario yeah Yeah of course there is.

It's a big territory in Canada. Speaking of that, Pete, this is a great, as ever with this show, we're so in sync, this is a great and also unplanned link. I'm going to do that thing that I sometimes do which can be a bit annoying for people and talk about a TV show that I haven't actually finished yet. Right. Okay, so don't spoil me, guys, if you're listening. Okay. Do not spoil me. I'm about four episodes from

the end, and the wife I have access to recommended this TV show to me, or to us, called Yellow Jackets. Have you heard of it? I have not seen Yellow Jackets. Is it about sport? You can guess. I think you should have a guess at what you think it's about.

Is it about ice hockey? No. Oh. Is it about sport? You can guess. I think you should have a guess of what you think it's about. Is it about ice hockey? No. Oh. Is it about wasps? No. It's about a high school soccer team in the 90s, female soccer team, who win the state championships

and go to compete in the nationals. They're based in New Jersey and the national finals are in Seattle, wherever the other side of the country. And when they fly there, they get involved in the nationals they're based in new jersey and the national finals are in seattle wherever the other side of the country and when they fly there they get involved in the plate they have to divert the plane and it crashes in the canadian wilderness and they have and they survive it and they have to um they don't get rescued basically and it's set in during that time and during the present time after they have been rescued but there is made very clear from the start that they are in the wilderness

as a little team of 16-year-old kids or whatever for 19 months. Right, this wasn't real, though? No, of course it's not real. Well, I don't know. You'd know about that. It's some crazy stuff. You would know about that, Pete.

I wouldn't know about that. Well, I don't know. You said it in such a way that it made me think that you're going to subvert it by saying and it was real. It was based on a real story. You went really into it because I am one of our generation's best storytellers, and you just came along for the ride, baby.

And that happens to me a lot, I'll be honest. But ultimately, no, it was not real, no. But it's a really good show. It's really clever because what it does is, you know, clearly because it's a 90s high school show, ostensibly, there's all these kind of established social hierarchies, which are then completely upset in a completely different situation and explores the relationships between people.

I think it's quite clever. I mean, as ever, it is impossible for any TV show or film to ever accurately shoot football scenes. But other than that, it's good. I would recommend it has anyone ever the only one that's ever got it sort of right

was that Zidane film and that was because it was a real football match yeah they're just filming a game yeah at the top level why is it so bad why can't they ever get it right

the way they approach it is they do like so the stuff from the waist down shots just the footwork things are fine because they can

obviously just use footballers for that yeah but it's when they pull out to a wider shot it just goes mad the positioning's always weird everyone's just staring at the ball open mouth no one's really doing anything it's kind of like and someone's always someone the thing that they they did in in the film goal which we sort of featured on the Ramble Film Club a couple of years ago, did a lot of like, kind of like, he had one skill that the actual actor who played the main guy from Goal,

I forget his name, but he could do one bit of football skill and they used that in every single scene that he was in. It was like a little twirl sort of thing, yeah. But Pete, also also one of the things they have to do which always really makes me laugh when shooting football movies is they obviously need to show a goal yeah there's no way i mean i might be wrong but i'm pretty sure i'm not

there's no way a a film or a tv show that's needed a football scene and it hasn't shown a goal right because otherwise people just baffle just to what's happening right especially in america right so um but what they have to do because the people involved obviously can't play football they always score goals from really close in so they'll be like three yards out and the camera's always behind the goal behind the goal in the net effectively

but they're so close it's like this would never happen in a football match it would never ever happen so anyway that aside do you know what it feels like though? it's a Showtime TV show and it's on Sky Atlantic This would never happen in the football match. It would never, ever happen. So anyway, that aside, do you know what it feels like though? It's a Showtime TV show and it's on Sky Atlantic for those who want to kind of seek it out.

But what it feels like to me is, have you heard that Netflix do a lot of their commissioning based on data and algorithms and stuff now? Yeah. And it feels a bit like that to me. It's got a bit of Stranger Things about it. It's got a girl in it.

It looks a bit like Billie Eilish. It's got a bit of Stranger Things about it. It's got a girl in it. It looks a bit like Billie Eilish. It's got a little bit of... Yeah, just buzzy time travel stuff. It's got loads of stuff. It's quite creepy. It's a horror in parts. It's got a bit of politics involved. All the things that basically are of the zeitgeist

when you stop to think about it at the moment, it's kind of covered, essentially. I'm trying to sort of think of in a similar sort of vein, I was watching a TV show that had James Nesbitt in it it was on Netflix quite recently and I'm trying to sort of find

down his, oh god he's got such, who writes fucking, who writes bloody James Nesbitt's Wikipedia page in 2000? Oh, certainly James Nesbitt. It's so comprehensive. Yeah, he did a Netflix TV show that's all about murder.

I think it's called Stay Close. Yes, I think it's called Stay Close. And it's topped the streamers' charts, everyone's recommended it and stuff, and it's based on a person called Harlan Corbin's novel Stay Close. Oh yeah, i know harlan corbin is an author yeah yeah well harlan corbin's seem seemingly got like lots of um books in development it must be kind of like a i don't know i don't know who this uh corbin person is but they've certainly got a lot of um screenplays

in the mix at the moment but um yeah it's one of them. And it struck me as being this quite creative, quite sort of stylish drama thriller that was filmed by the director of EastEnders. It was like... That's a dig. It had Eddie Izzard in it. It had no one else I know um it you know there was some good performances from the actors and stuff but and it was stylish but it was it looked like

the actual filming budget had so little money and it was all based around a nightclub that was on a lodge in the middle of like i think it was like it felt like stockport or um or blackpool or somewhere like that um and i watched about six episodes of it and I was like, it's just, this isn't good. This just isn't good. And then the next thing we watched

was fucking Afterlife with Javis. Oh yeah. Have you seen any of the new series? So I can, before, I don't know what you're going to say. So for our listeners, I don't know what you're going to say.

So this has not been planned as ever. I will tell you a quick anecdote and then you can do your thing i see i i watched and stuck with and actually quite enjoyed the first two seasons despite myself yeah and i'll tell you why very quickly i thought a lot of the grittier scenes in it like his relationship with his dad who's got dementia for example my dad doesn't have dementia but I've got a direct experience of family members

close family members who have had it I thought that was actually really well observed and really unalloyed it was like it didn't kind of gloss over it in any way and I really respected that and I found some of it quite interesting I found some of the characters quite interesting I watched probably

four minutes of the first episode of the new series and just turned it off I just thought it was really poor I just couldn't stick with it It's just they've kind of like I mean there's barely any humour in it anymore it's just like one big fucking Hallmark greetings card and I watched the first season

didn't watch the second one, but I don't know what happened in the second season, but they really thought, right, what's people talking about this series? They're not talking about it being funny. They're not talking about it being good. They're talking about it being... There's just a lot of, like, Instagram-level, mawkish, sentimental just bullshit in it and i'm not i'm a person who will go down that route a certain amount but he is stealing a living with this fucking season

he is absolutely stealing a living blessing yeah so i think i think the reviews of season three were mixed i think from what i can make out I get I've heard I don't know I don't know either I don't know him or Merchant but I've heard that Gervais always wanted to do really sentimental stuff

even when he's working with Merchant Merchant's like a sting yeah exactly and I think that's why you have at the end of The Office for example you know the Dawn and and Tim thing

and all that kind of stuff and then when you take away Merchant, he goes and does that show Girls, which is just basically straight comedy. It's not very good, but it's straight comedy. And then you have Gervais, who always has to have this sentimental thing over, and it's just becoming more and more sentimental

as it goes on, right? And I just felt like the first four minutes of that show, that series, were basically quite unbelievable things happening like nothing's you have to suspend your disbelief anyway because nothing actually adds up in that show like they live in this beautiful town a tiny almost like free sheet local newspaper which we all basically know don't exist anymore yeah and they've got massive houses where they live in and it's a beautiful place one of the nicest places i've ever seen and it's never explained how that happens and then for somehow some reason the newspaper can afford to send a reporter and a photographer to loads of people's houses to do

stories which basically only serve as a narrative plot line which people those kind of the people they interviewed basically just don't exist in real life and then on the way home from it ricky gervais just calls a guy who's done a minor indiscretion in his car a cunt. And that's it. But I mean, that's a lot of like kind of Kirby enthusiasm. Everyone's,

he's in a world full of nightmare people and he's regarded as being the nightmare, but it's actually everyone else who's been a bit of a dick about stuff. Yeah, but I think, and he takes the bait. Yeah,

but I think the way that like, so the way, he is really massively influenced by Christopher Guest and Larry David and those kind of people but I think the reason Larry David shows work is because he has a really keen sense of like what I

would call like it's stylised in a way but it's also almost super realism so he will find something about modern life which is mad, and it'll be something like a dinner party where someone sits in the wrong seat. And most people will go, if you had a dinner party and someone sat in your seat, you would just go,

all right, whatever, just get on with it. But the difference between Larry David and other cantankerous men like us is that we've been conditioned by society to just let stuff go right he won't let anything go

and that's where the humour is right I don't think Gervais does do that I think Gervais makes with Afterlife he's made a show that's so unrealistic

that it's no longer possible to suspend your disbelief and it's no longer possible to almost make excuses for the fact that it's just not very funny right Mark Hief, and it's no longer possible to almost make excuses for the fact that it's just not very funny.

Mark Haynes, he sort of, he'd clearly watched all of it, and he pointed out a scene, and I'd not watched much of it at all, and good gravy. There's a scene right at the end, no spoilers really,

he's talking to that old lady who he um that woman who's lost it on the bench and and uh he says and and i hadn't when we spoke about this on wrestling me i hadn't actually uh seen this scene but when it came to it i went i just turned to sarah went fuck this show fuck it in the face we were on episode six we're on the last show episode so i'd got that far it's stuff something to watch when you watch the fucking telly and I like the dogs

I like the dog I like watching dogs doing stuff and you know there are bits you were love cross mate that was alright exactly

fucking everywhere they are and and there were you know certain sections that made me smile but I mean

this bit was just like he sat on the bench with that lady and he's sort of talking about his deceased wife and he sort of says, like, you know, I hope that, I feel really bad that I didn't sort of tell her, I didn't sort of agree that there were angels in the afterlife and stuff like that.

I feel like I let her down and stuff. And the woman goes, well, you see, there are angels, but they're not like angels with, like, wings and float around on the clouds and stuff and the woman goes well you see there are angels um but they're not like angels with like wings and float around on the clouds and stuff um they're people who work for the nhs it's just so on the nose right yeah my throat closed up the thing is pete you were the sort of person and i mean this in a nice way you were the sort of person who would fully agree and be on board with that message generally right yeah but it's so on the nose and mawkish it just takes you out of it right i just think television

nowadays thinks that they can get to that point where they can own uh emotion and own sadness and own uh all of these really complex heavy emotions without actually making us care about the characters along the way like without building that world that i believe in and and and and and they don't earn it they just think they can sort of go no it's a good don't they they're angels and you say well you've not earned that like fine yeah i agree but you're just it's just someone on twitter going angels are good uh nhs is good for the nh. It's just this kind of tokenistic writing that I just,

I found difficult to watch. It's a bit like saying, you know, maybe guys, the real journey was the friends we made along the way. It's like that.

It's like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it drives me wild. But, I do think, I would say that, you know, if we're going to be

completely even handed, I would say it like, the way it explores loss and the despair of loss and the grief and stuff is really i mean actually i personally found really quite touching and that's what stuck me that's what caused me to stick with it during season one season two because they're all very universal emotions right the old kind of idea that if you're going through hell keep going and the reason part of the reason you will better get through it if you can is because other people have that same thing it's nothing you know it's a

weird situation when you lose someone who's close to you because it's obviously feels like the worst thing in the world but at the same time you know in your heart that millions of other people are going through it or have gone through it and will go through it and that's kind of part of the human condition and exactly and i and where i sort of see him having someone who's not really lost a huge amount of people who are particularly close to me, I would say, you know, as it stands. But like, so maybe I'm not feeling that.

I sort of see him going back to the well of him, you know, watching the video every night, watching videos of his wife and stuff and talking about his wife in the same way that he's talking about. He's done that for every episode for 18 episodes now. So I'm like, well, there's nothing new here.

He just seems to be going, like he's just playing the hits for me, but I've never gone through that. So I sort of, I'm in a situation where maybe that's exactly what it fucking feels like. It is endless and it is enduring. And maybe that's exactly why it fucking feels like. It is endless and it is enduring. And maybe that's exactly why it speaks to people. So I'm well up for believing that it's very much my issue

rather than the show's. Well, you say that, it's not necessarily just your issue because Stephen Merchant tweeted in the summer of 2020 in a reply to the film critic James King who asked, what's your least favourite bit of movie shorthand? I'm thinking things like, character with a cough equals dead soon, video posted

to YouTube equals viral smash. Stephen Merchant replied saying, watching old home movies of dead child or wife equals inability to move on. That's strong. And that was just after i've come out i think or second season anyway so no he's a he's made his uh he's made his bed yeah won't be seeing them together again anyway but i'll get i'll give you i'll give you a thumbs up though for the film

ready or not uh available on amazon uh i rented it over the weekend, and it was very good, like a proper 80s slasher, knives-out kind of romp. What's it called? Very fun. It's called Ready or Not. It's about a big game of hide-and-seek in a big house, and there's an Australian woman who is the lead, who looks exactly like the other Australian woman who is the lead in things like like the other australian woman who is the lead in uh

things like um who's joker's girlfriend that one i'm doing this fucking labyrinthine fucking maze of peace synapses again who's joker's girlfriend i've not seen joker well who's the joker's girlfriend like not the newest joker the the previous joker the 30 seconds to Mars joker oh Gerard Leto yeah his girlfriend is Harley Quinn so whoever plays

Harley Quinn oh you mean blonde Aussie good yeah yeah yeah I know who she is she looks almost

exactly like her and she's also Aussie it's really confusing that's weird yeah difficult Margot Robbie you must work

really hard to sort of distance yourself from someone but you can't distance yourself when you look almost exactly like well listen anyone can distance yourself from your fucking brain that's not difficult is it but wait speaking very very quickly before we go to a break because we are over time as we always are um i speaking of that i take it it's like a hide the seat type movie where people fucking die right pretty much okay fine so um it always really reminds me and i think i've mentioned this on the show before but no one Speaking of that, I take it it's like a hide-the-seat type movie where people fucking die, right? Pretty much. Okay, fine. So it always really reminds me, and I think I've mentioned this on the show before,

but no one listening has ever come forward to A, corroborate it, let alone B, find me the footage, that I am pretty sure that when the movie Saw came out, which was when? Probably about 2004? Yeah. Right? They had an advert for, obviously they had the cinematic release, and they had the advert for the DVD release, right? which was when? Probably about 2004? Yeah. Right? They had an advert for, obviously they had the cinematic release and they had the advert for the DVD release, right?

And it was back when, Pete, do you remember that guy with the really deep voice used to do the trailers? In a world. That guy, yeah. Red Pepper. They don't do that anymore, but they used to.

He was doing the DVD release advert voiceover, yeah? And it just said, Saw fucking... In a world yeah the use the year's most frightening movie and and then at the end it was it was an advert for the dvd product at the end jigsaw came out and um it was a clip from jigsaw the bad guy saying there will be blood and the voice and the voiceover just went and there will will be DVD extras. And it was the weirdest thing ever happened in TV adverts. And I wish I could find it.

I must have searched for it on YouTube so many times I could never find it. It was absolutely ridiculous. I had no idea why it was ever signed off. I do miss DVD extras. They were a lot of fun, but a complete waste of time for everyone involved. The Wi-Fi I have access to still quite regularly watches the Lord of the Rings DVD extras.

Right. What's on there? Just kind of interviews kind of like press kits and stuff. EPKs. Yeah. Everything you can imagine.

Everything. Just think of anything to do with Lord of the Rings and it's on that DVD extra. Yeah. An interview with Ian McKellen having a shit. Yeah.

You know. The history of New Zealand as a country. Yeah. The eye of New Zealand as a country. Yep. The eye of Sauron blinking for three hours. It's confusing. Anyway, let's have a break. When we come back, we'll probably squeeze some battery brands in and we may even get a chance to get to an email.

Otherwise, it might be the world's weirdest second half of the show. Stick around. We'll be back just after this. Cool. Clash of the Titles is the podcast where two movies with something in common go head to head in a fight to the death as we decide which film does it better and for the whole of january and february we're taking film suggestions from you our listeners but he said to me i was putting on and because we've done the social network and he like, why are you doing all these good films? And I said, oh, well, you know.

And then I had to admit that other people picked them. Wow. Yeah. Join me, Alex Zane, with Chris Tilley and Vicky Crompton every Monday and Thursday. Search Clash of the Titles wherever you get your pods. I'll tell you what, if you want to take care of your eye of Sauron, don't eat an entire half jar of jalapeno jam,

which is what I did yesterday, and I'm feeling a little bit rough for it, to be quite frank. Awful. This is the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Luke Moore, and we're doing some battery brands. If you've found a battery in a bit of consumer electronica, maybe it's your kid's electronica, maybe it's your

kid's lightsaber, maybe it's your wife's adult toy, open it up, find out what battery's in there and let us know about it. Why do you say it like that?

Like the guy who does the DVD extras bit in the advert? In a vagina. I've had COVID, Luke. My voiceover's never sounded better. Your voice does actually

sound quite good today. Yeah, it is, mate. Do you think, is it a well-known kind of my voiceover's never sounded better your voice does actually sound quite good today yeah cheers mate do you think is it a well known kind of euphemism the ire of Sauron being the bomb hole

is that like a well known thing it felt like it I'm unfamiliar with the Lord of the Rings I think I watched the first one didn't bother with the rest the tree started walking I was like same as Harry Potter

just like this isn't me I'm going to watch Fast and the Furious instead I think we should really at least get listeners to start getting some kind of campaign together for you to watch the Lord of the Rings movies have you got time to watch

all of Afterlife you could probably get just under one Lord of the Rings movie in that time. I'd have to have a very long dinner to get that done in that time. So, battery brands. Luke, have you got the old email box open? Yeah, I'll search. You read, I'll search. All right, then.

This battery comes from Brian. Thank you, Brian. Hello, Luke and Pete. I live in Lebanon, which, if you're unaware, is going through one of the worst economic crises since the 19th century. As a result of the collapse, cheaper and more obscure brands

have begun to replace international name brand products. One, albeit grim, advantage of this is the plethora of different battery brands populating supermarket shelves. Brian, this email started so depressingly, but thank you for making the most of a terrible situation. I present to you both two of these brands. I hope they pass your judgment and are worthy of being entered into the game.

Hope all is well with you both. All the best, Brian. He's coming with King Ever Extra Heavy Duty AA's and Osel Super Heavy Duty AAs King Ever is spelt as you'd imagine and Osel is O-S-E-L Super Heavy Duty Double AAs So King Ever I'm afraid is not a new player because Mark sent those in on the 14th of November

2017 and Jonathan Cross, hello to you Jonathan sent those in on the 19th of January 2018. So they go way back, King Evers. Ocel, super heavy duty. Let's have a look. Who's the emailer?

Again, Brian. The emailer is Brian, yeah. Okay, Brian, you do, though, have a new player with your Ocel Heavy Duties. Congratulations to you. I can see the photo. The double A's all above board. They've not been sent in before, so you've got a new player there. One out of two isn't bad, Brian.

Congratulations to you. Well done, mate. Congratulations. Good stuff. Brett from Leeds comes in with a Sun Padau AAA and an Agfa Photo AA. We must have been sent Agfa Photos because they were a big camera brand or certainly camera technology brand. I love you both, says Brett from Leeds.

Across your various pods, but especially laps, still gutted horses can't vomit was removed from your back catalogue. I assume yours fuckers at Petter got you. We didn't remove that, did we? We haven't deleted anything. We haven't deleted it. Brett, have another look mate. We've never deleted a single show. We bloody should have done though. We'll get producer Rory to look into that.

I've never heard of that being removed. Sun, Padau, AAAs and Agfa 4 or AA's. We go through the emails every week and sort of, neither me or Luke can remember what emails we've done, what emails we haven't done, because we've got rather busy weeks. And so the idea that we would ever pull a show after the event,

as soon as this is recorded, we forget about it. Unless we've got a credible legal threat, which hasn't happened. Some pedale from Brett. They are new players. Fucking hell, this is a great show for new players. More new players, cracking stuff.

Ag for photo, did you say? Agfa Photo. We must have had Agfa Photo, surely. It was so big back in the 90s. Yeah, we've had Agfa a few times. They're not new. Some per now are, though. Congratulations to you, Brett.

Well done, mate. There we go. If you want to know a bit of information about Agfa Photo, it's a European photographic company formed in 2004 when Agfa Gewirth sold their consumer imaging division. Right, let's move on to Bryce's. Let's not move on because I'd like to make a joke as well. Okay, sorry.

It's okay. Not to be confused with the popular writer of crime fiction, which was, of course, Agfa Christy. Agfa Christy. Bryce Lackey has got, wow, this has got to be a new player while searching for a lighter to get the pellet burning stove going at my family's beach cabin in Pacific City Oregon look at you Bryce uh I stumbled across these beauties somehow French made in China by a company in Columbus Ohio They're called Poussance Pile. Double A. Triple A. Poussance.

Poussance. P-U-I-S-S-A-N-C-E. Poussance. Pile or Pile. Triple A. This is very confusing. Who's the name of the team, Hunter? It is very confusing.

I'm going to say yes. We've had a couple of emails come up in the search folder, but neither of them contain the word Precense or a photo of the batteries to boot. So we're going to officially declare those a new player. It's a AAA sent in. It's a blue and silver effort. Very, very strange.

Never seen anything like it before in my life. Congratulations to you, Bryce, and thank you for your latest missive, and congratulations again on being called Bryce. Great name. You don't hear it very often. Indeed. If you type in Poussons Pilets into Google, the first thing they suggest is, Poussons Pilets

one of the most fun battery brand sections in the world we've got a message we've had this before we may as well treat we may as well

treat you with this again Lukey Chris Hall has got in touch with a Luke Luke-a-like Luke-a-like people are always saying that people look like Pete well a few members of the Luke and Pete you with this again, Lukey. Chris Hall has got in touch with a Luke like.

People are always saying that people look like Pete. Well, a few members of the Luke and Pete Show community have also found some lookalikes for Luke. That's not what...

Who came in with this one? Oh, Chris Hall came in with Luke looking like the bassist from Mumford & Son, Ted Duane. We've had this before

though, Luke. You did, for a little period of time, look very much like the man, but you've both tied up your acts a little bit. Well, if both tied it up our actual we would still look the same oh that's a good point actually yeah yeah i'm just looking at him now um yeah i can see why people think that curly boys little blonde curly boys what's happened to no muffled sons jettison

that one who loved jordan peterson more than money um yeah well tell me about that story though that's a really good way of putting it but can you just put a bit of meat on those bones one who loved John Peterson more than money. Yeah, well, tell me about that story, though. That's a really good way of putting it, but can you just put a bit of meat on those bones? He loves right-wing reactionary books by people like John Peterson. He invited John Peterson to the... It was the guitarist at Mumford & Sons, basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He loves a certain kind of book and a certain kind of way of thinking, it seems. It appears from the outside. And I remember seeing a picture of John Peterson in the recording studio with Muffin and Sons. Now, you know, where at one point some may argue that John Peterson is a, you know, free-thinking, you know, intelligent person. He's very problematic. He is. He's a dick, right?

He's a dick. And I don't understand how he gets so many free passes and so much kind of exposure because he's a dick. But he does. And the guy from Wolverine's Sons really bombed him and bombed a few other, like started tweeting about certain books that he's been enjoying and stuff and it's all very kind of like, I'm not going to get into exactly what it is

because I can't really remember, but at the time it was like, what the fuck is, what's he been, has he been radicalised or something? What's going on? So Mother and Sons being a very sort of, you know, Marcus Mumford, I've had a few chats with him, seems like an all right chap quite a funny guy um so you said you said to marcus you're gonna have to get rid of this

fella you should get rid of him mate he is embarrassing you i just looked up i just looked him up he's called winston as well winston just just looked him up and um he did genuinely it's called into his wikipedia page leave munford and sons to quote explore his interest in free speech without involving his band mates yeah yeah exactly so it's just the most euphoric thing ever and he's also apparently tried his hand at stand-up comedy this to me sounds like a breakdown i'll be totally honest nothing to be ashamed of it's a midlife crisis we've all had them we've all had them again i'm sure he's been on youtube he's had a on YouTube. He's had a few days off after Covid.

Mother and son couldn't tour for a year. And this is what happens. He's been in his bedroom too much. He needs to go outside and play with the bigger boys. Comments on Jordan Peterson videos. So yeah, he left because he likes spicy books. How did we get...

Not to be confused With spicy food And the eye of Sour On which you like What Listen One man's jalapeno Chili jam Was another man's
