The Luke and Pete Show - Marvel Studios: The Dregs

Episode Date: November 8, 2021

Luke went to see the new Marvel movie this weekend, even though no one warned him to avoid any outdoor activity first - the big sleepy bear. To be fair, it was only the dregs of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Elsewhere we have some feel-good content, as Pete met some police dogs and we get an email from a wholesome dad.Is your dad wholesome? Let us know: [e-mail] Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fresh with quality, fresh for you and me, fresh. It's got to be your North Eastern food store, that's how we like it fresh, that's how we bring it to you. Every day, you'll appreciate the way we put our reputation on our table fresh. It's the Luke of Beach Show. Pete Donaldson with you. I'm joined by Luke Moore. Hello, Luke Moore. Have you had a lovely morning thus far?

Oh, great, thanks. And listeners, if you didn't enjoy that song, you are a coward. Dead. Dead to the world. An absolute coward. Get out of town. Pete, if I was having a bad morning, that would have pulled me right out of it, baby boy.

Me singing an advert from the Co-op food stores. Never heard it before. Off-east from the 1980s. Never heard it before. Next week, I'll do Peter's Cathedral Bakers. Peter's Cathedral Bakers. They were talking. I wish I could remember all the local radio adverts on Power FM 103.2.

Jingles just work. Jingles just work. What did Power FM turn into? I presume it got turned into a capital or a... Yeah, I think just capital. I don't know. I don't know, really. Capital South Coast, something like that.

Southern? Capital Southern? On my telly, I'm in Essex, but on my telly, Channel 7 on the terrestrial digital aerial network is this Kent, this community Kent station from Kent, all over the river, all over the estuary. And it's weird. They don't have, they're in a situation where they don't have any shows.

They do have a few shows, but about 6pm, they just put on the feed of the local radio station in kent uh a small station not a big station no one really knows what it is um but so the during the songs they'll just put like adverts out you know local news you know who's playing the pantomime stuff like that but when the when the dj puts the uh puts the mic up um they're just on the telly. And it's Channel 7. This isn't like a really, you know, Channel 300 on the Digital Sky Network.

This is like terrestrial television. And number seven is just a woman in a radio studio playing a bit of Kesha. It's really interesting. That's kind of weird, isn't it? Picking their nose on that. It's brilliant. And I don't understand.

And with apologies to people who you particularly know that are still working in the industry, of course, and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but is there a situation now where they don't really have DJs during the day or something? They just play music and they have them on the big shows at drive time and breakfast? No, they have DJs,

but they network all of those hours, I think. I think after Ofcom, the cowards of Ofcom dropped their regulation when it came to, you couldn't just network entire shows between breakfast and drive time. So, yeah, no, I think they do have DJs. They're on higher wages in London. Speaking of higher wages, I watched the Marvel movie Eternals over the weekend. I've heard about this one.

This is the one that, it's the dregs in it. It's the run out of people. That was the working title, the Avengers, dregs. They've run out of people and they got in the barrel and they were like, right, who's at the bottom? Who have we got left? Did you get a call? I didn't get a call.

Well, I'm not a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Oh, I disagree. You are a fucking great character. I mean, are there any ones that will never get turned into films? Well, I don't know. Is this like bad racist ones? Yeah, I don't know this think i think that is this like bad racist ones yeah i don't know this but i am i cannot believe for one second that given that marvel and all those um comics and and

graphic novels started way back in the day there aren't some problematic ones you know yeah it's gotta be but but um i'm not gonna make those into big films but but the thing is i mean i'll be honest my review of this movie which i'm not going to do because it's not a film review show, is hugely affected by the fact that I went and did something outside for a few hours before. So I was a big sleepy bear when I got into the cinema and it was difficult to stay awake. But I wonder if a good movie would have kept me awake more.

But then I'm 41, so maybe not. Do you know what I mean? So any film review must come with a caveat. If you are going to eat the tasting menu at a restaurant beforehand, don't come and see it. What kind of life do you think I lead? I went to watch Peckham Town. I didn't go to a tasting menu.

What are you talking about? I live in West Norwood. You Avengers assemble the tasting menu from the things on offer at the uh refreshment stand three for two aldi's on the way but i i do think actually you know i talked to you before about um there's many ways that i think um the world can be improved one of which is different sizes of meals in restaurants for example why do we not do that like if i sit opposite my wife who's half the size of me right why are we eating the same amount of shit because best case scenario

she's going to leave a lot of food which we paid for worst case scenario i'm going to go away hungry so that's it they sometimes have uh kind of servings like the peter bought near where i live lovely little pub on the water they do a lovely lovely cockle chowder and i think you can have it in and it's served in like local ingredients like uh say again there must be local ingredients as well well i guess so yeah cockles seem to be a big big deal around uh lee and the surrounding environs but uh yeah you can either have it in a in a in a starter portion or or a main portion and and i think that should be for everything I would quite like a main size portion of fried calamari. I just want a big, like, Beano Dandy style mount.

Can I get enough of it? Big hill of calamari because I bloody love that stuff. And as much aioli sauce as I can handle. Agree. So I would get as much calamari as possible, salt it very heavily, lots of lemon juice and like an absolute vat of aioli and then we're away, you know? Yeah. But what I was going to say was the way you could improve like restaurants is by doing

that because you get different size clothes and different size other shit. So when you think about it, you get different size everything, houses, cars, clothes, glasses, everything. What did you say? People, exactly. And so they could definitely improve the restaurant experience by doing that, right? Secondly, when I read a movie review,

I want to know what frame of mind and level of tiredness the reviewer was in. Yes. Because it's a big undertaking. Yeah, exactly. And movie reviewers, by their very nature, have to watch. I mean, when I worked in an industry that meant that I had to, because of interview reasons, had to go to watch, you know,

a couple of films a week or maybe even less, a couple of films a week. And that was a bit of an undertaking for me because the film was invariably shit. Because if you're advertising on radio, if you're getting interviewed by me, you've got a shitty film and you just need bums on seats. The big ones you're not going to get the interviews for, right? Say again? Yeah, exactly.

You're not getting Daniel Day-Lewis, are you? I'm not getting Daniel. Daniel Day-Lewis won't do the interviews. But I'll be getting the rubbishies. The rubbishy ones, to be quite honest. So you would have got Eternals then, if you were still doing it? Oh, there would have been an Eternals little junket,

I reckon, and they probably would have visited the studio rather than me going to the hotel. I bet there's a lot of in-person interviews for this film because I've seen the trailer and it's kind of like every criticism I've ever had of previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films. And it is Marvel, isn't it? They're like, this is just homogenous gray goo of characters. I don't know who these people are.

I have no interest in them they look very generic and one of the pithy witty lines that the man from game of thrones and rocket man says he goes i don't wear a cape and that's his gag and that's his joke and that's his line and if that's the best if that's the stuff at the front of the butcher shop i don't want to see the sausages in the back no and i mean if i walked into a butcher shop and you were in there i would probably go i'd be in the back in the freezer eating the sausages elbow deep in blood um like a kind of an even worse dexter um i i've never seen dexter so that might be a terrible joke um i i um i would agree with you having seen the film um but what i don't like

about it these days is that anyone seems to be able to get a gig at marvel i think if you're an actor now and you've not done marvel you're probably fuming because because like harry styles was in this one well we're like uh okay right. Yeah, and as you've alluded to, the people expected to carry the movie are kind of TV people. Like, for example, I like, I mean, Angelina Jolie aside, who just absolutely oozes star quality whenever you see her

because she's just ridiculously amazing to look at and she's got a lot of gravitas. I think she's got a lot of charisma, right? But she's not really in it that much. She plays kind of a weird character where she can't really be properly human. Well, they're not human anyway, do you know what I mean? But the point is, Eternals, they're living as humans until it all starts kicking off.

I mean, obviously, every single Marvel movie is the same, right? It all starts kicking off. You think it's going to go to shit. It never goes to shit. That's it, right? That's basically it. And I've got no problem with it. I'm not trying to be snobby about it.

I'm not a film expert or anything like that. My wife, the wife I have access to, is massively into it. So I go and watch every movie with her. And usually I'm generally pretty well entertained, right? This one, it felt like the guy you're talking about, the Game of Thrones guy, Richard Madden, who plays Robb Stark in Game of Thrones. I've not seen Rocketman. I presume that's who you're talking about, the Game of Thrones guy, Richard Madden, who plays Rob Stark in Game of Thrones. I've not seen Rocketman.

I presume that's who you're talking about. He's kind of fine. He's handsome and he's fine, but he can't carry a movie. Gemma Chan, again, good TV actor. He's been in some cool stuff. Can't carry a movie. Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones and who's one of the characters in this. I think he's being set up to become a bigger kind of character

in later Marvel movies. Genuinely, he was in the first few scenes, right? Bloody hell. He comes back at the end. Bastard. Comes back at the end. I completely forgot he was fucking in it. Right.

And by the way, also, it is absolutely crushingly long. Yeah. Like crushingly long. It crushingly long it's just i think i think pete i think it's obnoxious obnoxious to say to people we know this film ain't that good because they do know right they'll always know we're still gonna make you sit through two hours 40 and then because it's marvel we're gonna do our thing we have to wait to the end of the credits yeah like to watch what it's what was the end of the credits. Yeah, to watch what? What was the end of the credits about? What was the great revelation? Kit Harington popped up.

Yeah. I think I'm spoiling that. I don't want to spoil it. All I will say is that I think it's been very well publicised that this is the case. So I can say that Harry Styles is in it. He doesn't do much, but he's in it. And I quite like Harry Styles.

I quite like the idea that he's a kind of local kid done good. He's kind of just done his own thing and he's done really well. I like the fact that he challenges like male perceptions of masculinity. I think that's a really cool thing, right? But I wonder if this is like, it feels a bit like

he's got his five meter swim badge and now we're putting him in the Olympics. Do you know what I mean? Like, is he up to it? We don't know. We don't know. I mean, the worst case scenario is he's to it we don't know we don't know I mean the worst case scenario he's going to drown

you know best case scenario he nearly drowned in the film Dunkirk didn't he he doesn't really do anything in that it's a good film yeah he does of course I'm a right rotten bastard he says

John Snore yeah I'm a right bastard look at him he's really French him oh I'll trap my finger in this tank so anyway so I watched that Look at him, he's really French him. Oh, I'll trap my finger in this tank.

So anyway, so I watched that. I was more entertained watching Peckham Town 4, Hawking Town 0. That probably says more about me than anything else. I was a big sleepy bear when I went to watch it, but I've come away a little bit disappointed because I'm getting older now and I don't know how many weekends I've got left. Well, I did my first big, big, big boy long drive up to Hartlepool.

Holy shit. To see my parents for the weekend. At night time? No, I did it after tea time. So, yeah, it was a big boy drive. It was all right. Grantham Services, an old classic. Yeah. It's lost a little bit of its glamour i would say why peterborough services fucking hell like fantastic but you're trying to do too many

things you've got a chopsticks chinese food uh buffet thing you've got a bloody burger king you've got a kfc you've got too much stuff and then you've got the amusements as well and the toilet it's all very good it's all in the round it's doing a lot with very little space

but Peterborough services maybe just take a few of those shops out of rotation give me some more floor space yeah services can be a big deal when you get to our age yes

have you ever been to so you'd be on the other side of the country so you wouldn't have gone past it when you were driving to hartlepool but i would heavily recommend t bay where's oh t but yeah people do talk about t bay with uh in hushed tones in the lake district very good yeah on the side of a big working farm just just a cut above but there's a load of good ones along the M4 corridor. There's loads of classics like Lee Delamere, Cheveley, you know, all those types.

I don't think I've done Grantham. I mean, I don't know why I would be in Grantham. Grantham was always a bit of a classic from when we went on a bus trip from Hartlepool down to London. That was always pretty much halfway, I think, kind of where... It's near Nottingham, isn't it? Sort of halfway down the country.

Is Grantham not in Lincolnshire? I don't know, to be honest. I only know. Do you know your counties, dear? Are you good with your counties? No, I'm terrible. But I just drove and drove and drove for about five hours on the same road out of London.

Yeah. It's crazy. It's absolutely mad. What I find is really interesting, when I'm over in the US and I drive somewhere, because the Wi-Fi I have access to doesn't drive here, so she's kind of fallen out of driving. She's basically come down to me now, which is fine.

We did a load of driving around the South a couple of years ago, as I'm sure you remember. It's fucking interesting doing it in a different country because everything's new. When you're driving, we drive to the Lake District fairly regularly. It's a slog, man man it's just a slog like you get out of london which takes a wee while and then you're just banging all the way up to the northwest of the country it takes you bang on five hours really whatever happens um unless sorry what i mean by that is it's never going to be less than five hours um and it does get dull but what was what was the special occasion? Because I thought you were hanging out

with some dogs this weekend. I just wanted to see some weird porno shops on the side of Motoway. No, no occasion really. It's hurtling towards Christmas. I don't think my mum and dad are going to be coming down because they will not come down

south of Birmingham at the moment for some reason. But they... London lefties, mate. They're very careful about... They're very careful about... Very careful about COVID. Oh, but when my dad goes to the pub,

he doesn't wear a mask. When my dad goes to Charlie Dickens, the DIY shop, he doesn't wear a mask. It's like, come on, dads. Get it together, mate. I'm trying to protect you.

Take the hint, mate. You're a disappointment. I know, yeah. But no, it was good. I just popped up to see my parents uh i'm trying to think of the highlights uh i had the car so i was like ma'am for the first time ever you've got a car where do you want to go in any anywhere you want to go in hartlepool place you haven't seen for years where do you want to go we end up in matalan luke

matter that's all right that's all right, isn't it? Is it? Okay. What did you buy? She could have gone anywhere. I bought a little bauble for the Christmas tree and a padded shirt and some towels.

And that was all for me. I could have done that myself. Unbelievable. Yeah, you can better get Matalan's anywhere, really. Can't you? So, never mind. What did you expect her to say?

I want you to take me to the nuclear power station well I just wanted to go anyway I was just like I drove past we drove past a graveyard my mum went oh your nan's in there

and I went oh alright and then just did a big yeah dead Yui did a big Yui drove into the drove into the graveyard

and we had a look at the grave I forgot that my grandad is called Henry Jones like Indiana Jones which is pretty cool that is very cool isn't it yeah yeah that's nice yeah old Peggy We had a look at the grave. I forgot that my granddad is called Henry Johns, like Indiana Jones. That's cool. That is very cool. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, old Peggy and Henry Johns

getting it on down there. I don't know what that means. Reading between the lines of the part that you have access to social media feeds, I thought you were with some dogs this weekend. Yeah, so I came back for the dogs quite early on Sunday. have access to social media feeds. I thought you were with some dogs this weekend. I thought that was your thing this weekend. Yeah, so I came back for the dogs quite early on Sunday.

Yes, the London Retired Police Dogs Trust. She's a patron. Along with, who plays Q in James Bond? Oh, Ben Whishaw? No. John Cleese? No, the woman. Is that Q?

Who's the boss? P? What's the boss P what's the letter D Dench that's M not Q Judy M

okay yeah she was there was she she's a patron she turned up in a Range Rover what's she like I didn't have the pleasure

but she's very old now very very very buttery I heard sadly that I believe I think I'm right in saying I hope I'm not misrepresenting her I'm fairly sure I, that I believe, I think I'm right in saying,

and I hope I'm not misrepresenting her. I'm fairly sure I'm not. I believe that she said she's had to really take a step back from acting now because her eyesight's so poor she can't read her lines properly. Which is really sad. I mean, she's an absolute institution, man. She seemed very nice. But, yeah, no, I got to hang out with a load of little police dogs. Because, obviously, it's about the retired dogs,

but, obviously, they've got to find a new generation. There's these dogs, right? And we've spoken about them before. There are dogs that are trained for like a million different things. Firearms, Semtex, you know, semen dogs, which is incredible. What a fucking job that is. Imagine if you were a dog and you got that one. You're a big cum dog.

Cum dog millionaire. Cum dog millionaire. Come dog millionaire. And there's one, I think we spoke about it before, the one that search out SD cards. And I was talking to one of the bobbies and I was like... She's mad. And I was like, yeah, SIM cards, SD cards. Apparently, and I was like, how, what is the one chemical that's in every...

Because there's so many different manufacturing processes from a million different factories. How can you detect any data carrying item? he said anything that holds data there's this specific chemical that has to be used when it comes to uh that particular kind of chip uh and it's and it's unique to to anything that holds data and uh yeah these dogs can just sniff out some cards and anything, you know, SD cards and stuff like that. And it's something like 80% paedophiles and 20% terrorists. Bloody hell. Yeah.

Is that the ratio they're after? Or is the ratio not important? No, he just took one look at me and gave me a suggestion what I was. But what I didn't get about the whole idea why can't you be both find you a man that could do both uh but when when you um when you when i saw the pictures of the puppies there how do they so i kind of thought that they would go through the younger dogs and try and work out which ones of them were easy most easily trainable so then they were much more likely to be good working dogs but do they actually get stuck into them early and if

you get into them early enough any any of them can do it no uh and there is i think it's a i think they are because of the because of the way that they um husband them the way obviously they they put a very loyal dog with a very hardworking dog, and that makes the best kind of children. Children dogs. Little children dogs. That's a new Marvel movie, actually. Because they're breeding themselves,

they kind of know what kind of dog they're going to get, so the hit rate is something like a 9 in 10, which is good. But if it's a rescue or one that know, one that's donated to the facility, it's a complete reverse. Like, you know, nine of them fail when the 10th gets through. So if you're a rescue dog, it's like the SAS. A little bit, yeah.

And it seems like bloody hard work because, I mean, obviously these handlers have to take them home for a good length of time and you get a list of do's and don'ts when it comes to like looking after these dogs and uh you you you have like uh you know you have a couple in the garden in like a little kind of kennel sort of thing and you're told if they start howling or crying or whatever you're not allowed to uh coddle them you're not allowed to to treat them like a normal dog and so I was talking to one Bobby

who was like literally he had a noise abatement order on his house embarrassing because the dogs were just because the dogs were just barking

and he literally cannot go out there to pacify them unfortunately so yeah I mean I'm sure he's like I work here you can't give me one

I work here I know exactly I'd just be like I'm sure you can find someone to get rid of that, surely. Yeah. Find that. Put that little sample on the radiator. He was like, I can't because to do that, I need a corruption dog.

And that's not the department I work in. Yeah, yeah. But was it good? Was it good spending the day with dogs? There's nothing more delightful than just getting your hand chewed on with a little. They've got such sharp teeth. I didn't know that fucking dogs lose their baby teeth. I didn't know they had baby teeth.

They fall out, don't they? They fall out with their baby teeth. It's mad. Oh, mate. It's absolutely mad. Adorable. All right, Pete, we should probably take a quick break because we're overrunning a little bit.

Then when we come back, I want to do an email about a wholesome dad. Cool. Let's do it. Because that's the kind of material people like on this show right that's what they stay for Hi I'm Flo Lloyd-Hughes I'm Rachel O'Sullivan and I'm Chloe Morgan join us every week on our brand new show

Upfront on Football Ramble Presents we'll get stuck into the biggest stories of women's football every Tuesday from the latest in the WSL Gareth Taylor said oh well actually we were playing 3-4-3 and we moved to 4-4-3-3. If you look at any of the footage,

if you look at the way the players played in that first half, there were four players playing at the back. That sort of comment speaks of a manager who doesn't quite know what they're doing. To how the Lionesses are shaping up ahead of a home Euros next summer. For me, I would pick Leah Williamson. I would just go for it now.

For a younger age captain, you've got some big tournaments coming up. I think a lot of players think she's got a really great mentality, gets on with a lot of people. For me, she's a born leader, and I think she will be England captain at some point. And what it's really like being a player in women's football today. From my own experiences of being in a situation like that, I mean, you know, when we got promoted,

when I was with Spurs, that was phenomenal. I was, you know, first choice keeper. You know, then you go into the WSL for our first season and all I wanted to do was get WSL experience.

production. We're back with a look at the picture on a Monday. Luke, you promised us some wholesome dad chat, so fucking give us some, yeah? I will. I feel under pressure now. You know me though, I like the pressure, don't I? I like it, you invite it. Would you say I like the pressure more than you do? I like it, you invite it. Would you say I like the pressure

more than you do? There was an advert for the BMW car and it was like this, they'd set up this kind of big stunt where they, over a little kind of ravine

in like, it looked like, you know, it looked like Las Vegas, like the outskirts of Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon sort of thing

and they put this big bridge, like twin sort of tracks effectively across this bridge. And you, you know, you could probably walk over it, but driving a car, you would have to literally steer within the confines of two tracks. Which is on your way to Hartlepool.

Exactly. The width of it's the transport bridge, the width of, of the actual tyre tracks themselves. And they went across and this guy on the thing, he's driving it over, over this like kind of, this weird kind of bridge.

And he's like, I live for this. I live for the pressure. BMW, I live for this. And that's what I thought when he said that. That's not me. Although I do love the pressure, I also make a lot of mistakes

and I'm frightened of heights. There we go. Okay. So it's kind of just empty words really um but anyway so um yeah gareth's been in touch and um i've just i i trailed gareth's email before the before the outbreak so here it is he says lads my dad used to work for a well-known alarm company that predominantly serviced and installed alarms and CCTV in banks in the northwest of England in the late 80s and early 90s. I was born in 1980, so I'm the same

vintage of both Luke and Pete. Pete's 81, so it's a bit unfair on Pete, but we'll press on. Dad was always bringing stuff home, says Gareth. Things he said he found lying around in the bank that nobody needed anymore. He brought home an industrial keypad for opening bank vaults and wired it up to our front door. Yes, please. I would like to see that. It's 1992. I'm 12 years old and I'm getting into the house not with a key

but with a four-digit PIN number. Come on. Looking back now, it was very futuristic, said Gareth. Yeah. That's the sort of thing that you see now being sold to you by some kind of Chinese drop ship machine. Yeah. Incredible.

Fantastic. Because remember, I bought from the TFL sale. They sold off a load of old kit from the tube trains and stuff, and I bought a button, like an open door button, from the side of a Jubilee Line train. Yeah. And I always have fantasies like, could I sort of do something with that?

Could I wire that up to something? What would you do with it, though? I'd burn down my house because I can't do any of that. Well, I can imagine you setting up something that Gareth's dad did and you getting stuck in your house and getting burned to death. Yes. But Gareth goes on to say, it wasn't long before every kid on the estate knew the PIN number, though.

But he said it didn't matter because nobody robbed us anyway. I think people thought we were rich, said Gareth, and kids would come and visit just to see the keypad entry on the front door. I mean, it really was a boring time, looking back on it. Amongst other things he would bring home would be discarded VHS tapes from the bank's CCTV. For a 12-year-old kid in the early 90s to have an almost unlimited supply of vhs tapes was tapes was unbelievable we were also early adopters of sky tv so i was taping anything and everything and i vividly remember setting the tape to record the soft porn on the german and french channels

late at night i think the channels were called RTL and Sat1. Do you have any recollection of those Continental channels, guys? I certainly do because we had an early Sky TV as well because of my dad's forays into the electronics industry. He said the VHS tapes mostly had boring CCTV footage of people doing their banking. I spent hours watching them looking for something exciting like a robbery, but I never found anything.

And Gareth finishes by saying, now I'm a dad myself and I take great satisfaction in coming home from work bearing gifts, particularly if it was something unexpected. I broke once after I had kids and after I told him I did, he gave me a big box of these little toys a local supermarket was giving away. The excitement in the house when I walked in with them was amazing i love turning up with something completely unexpected now i'm the dad that brings stuff home from work i've gone full circle thanks a lot gareth fantastic i just love i i would also get a hell of a lot of joy out of bringing some random stuff

yeah and but the thing is you have to be careful, Gareth, like just taking... Because he basically says a bloke once asked if I had kids. Like, don't just take any present from a random bloke. I mean, as Alan Partridge once said, those soft toys could be full of soiled bandages. That is true. You know, it could be non-fire resistant.

You know, you'd be careful. Be careful. I mean, because it makes sure the pin... By the way, and also, Gareth's going to go down on my estimations if he's not got the pin pad on his current house still. True, yeah, you should have transplanted that to the new one, to be honest. How would it work, though, Pete? Say again?

How would it actually work? I understand you could put the pin pad on the house, but, I mean, with the key for the front door, there's a very obvious kind of mechanical mechanism, right? How does it actually work with the keypad? And if you don't know, just say you don't know. Well, I presume you would need to couple it with a... So when you do the keypad,

there will be two wires sticking out of it, basically, that goes to the mechanism that starts to open something up. It would be like a little motor that has to be moved or manipulated to open something up you know it'd be like a little motor that that has to be moved or manipulated to open the door so i would presume if i was going to do it i would get one of those you know those little you know where the mechanism is not actually in the actual uh handle of the door it's in the um frame of the door yeah it's got like a little kind of you've got a little little catch on on the door and the electromagnetic just disengages for a bit, and you get to open the door.

I think that's how I would do it anyway if I was an electric engineer, even though I'm not, and I can't do any of that stuff. Would you like to have a keypad on your door now? Yes, I would. I think having a keypad to my little cabin down in the garden would save me having to find the bloody key every time I want to go in there. That'd be great. You should definitely put it on the shed.

There's no reason not to, is there? Well, I'd do it badly and people would be able to get in. I am a little bit concerned that you can see all of my gaming equipment through the window. Get a blind man. Say again?

Not a blind man. He wouldn't help you. A blind, comma, man. Just get him to stay in the cabin for a bit. Yeah, I think he's a blind man. He wouldn't help you. A blind, comma, man. Just get him to stay in the cabin for a bit. Yeah. I think he's a security guard. By the way, speaking of gaming,

you still haven't stepped up on the PUBG front to play with me yet. I know, yeah. Well, I've only recently got a PlayStation. I got myself a PlayStation 5 last couple of weeks ago. Oh, how did you get hold of one? Friend of a friend. Properly who you know situation. And I rarely take advantage of that.

You hate only foals and horses. I rarely take advantage of that kind of caper, to be honest. So, yeah, I should be able to do that pretty soon, to be honest. Because Pete... Do you sit around with a headset and stuff and chat to each other? Yeah. Doing your business? We should get two lucky Luke and Pete Show listeners to join our team,

join our squad. Join our squad, yeah. We should get two lucky Luke and Pete Show listeners to join our team, join our squad. The good news is on the PUBG front is that they've also introduced a new casual mode now. What's casual mode? So basically,

I think what was happening was through people using cheats and different kind of, you know, because there's a real problem with

Battle Royale games with cheats and people, I don't know what they do. I guess because I'm absolutely clueless about this kind of stuff, I'm going to say something that may sound ridiculous. They kind of bust the code or something. And so what happens is, and I was reading about this

because I disappeared down an internet black hole about it because I was getting frustrated. Because it is genuinely a really cool way to switch off and relax after a long day if you've got nothing going on yeah and what i was doing i was dropping in and i was just getting shot straight away over and over again it's like this can't be really what makes this game so popular well do you watch like the kill cam and sort of say right he's shot me he could not possibly know where i was at that oh mate some of them are ridiculous some of it will be like 300 metres away in a moving car and it's one shot into your head.

Yeah. But it wouldn't happen. So anyway, the point is that I think a lot of people are gaming it. So people were getting pissed off. So they introduced this new casual mode where I think you only get, I think, something like 10 to 15 real players in the map and the rest are all like AI bot players. So it's actually a little bit more competitive.

That's like PUBG Mobile. There's always 100 players playing and i've and i've got a chicken dinner thing but i think fundamentally it was because a lot of bots were playing i was playing on a train as well so i wouldn't rely on the wi-fi in that i don't know how i'm gonna do it on them on handheld i just think it'll be too difficult but anyway so there's a couple of new modes there's a couple of new things they've changed which makes it a little bit more enjoyable so you should definitely play anyway that's enough of that nonsense because lots of people don't like gaming so let's leave that there that's it Pete
