Hey, I was going to say before we start, Pete, just get this on record. I think when you think of me, you think of me in quite a tedious way. A lot of tedious ideas about things,

a lot of protocols, a lot of quite rigid things in his life that you don't relate to. Like, for example, collecting mugs. Yeah. You're more kind of like, oh, what if someone sees me doing that? Why did you do a shoulder shimmy there?

And I'm like, I want people to see me doing this shall we start yeah it's the Luca Pete show it is a Monday no it's not yes it is

yes it is it is that was like a that was like a we're in a song when they stop and then start again we're excited it's

it's is it oh what's that song that goes and we just stop Macy Gray she goes stop

yeah you love Macy Gray I love a bit of Macy Gray Macy Gray is absolutely fine there's nothing wrong with her absolutely fine

nothing wrong with her at all great good artist good at what she does she's fine I've never met anyone passionate about Macy Gray's music until I met you

no not a single other human being. One album, or the first album. I was probably equally as... Booleaned? Is that the word I should use? About... If that's what you mean.

Specifically, yes. That's how language works. I was probably that excited about The Legend of a Cowgirl, Armani Coppola's first album as well. I don't know that one. No, it's very forgettable. Bran Van 3000's Glee.

I remember the single. It's a very strong single. Everyone did. They did a terrible cover of Come and Feel the Noise on the same album. Oh, did they? It was terrible. I remember, aren't the lyrics

What the Hell Am I Doing Drinking in LA at 26? And I remember hearing that and going, imagine what I would do at 26. I'll be on the moon, mate. Spoiler alert, fuck all. Basically, listeners, you are very welcome along. You've joined us in the middle of our belated

but nevertheless surprise fourth birthday party for Luke and Pete's show. It's been four years, can you believe? We mentioned it a week or two ago. Producer Nat, who doesn't like being mentioned on the show because she thinks it's a bit cringe. Because she's young and cool. It's like two dads.

Double the dads. We're very proud of her. Shouting in the street. Dads, stop embarrassing me. Dads. Very good A-levels. She has made it impossible for us not to mention her by bringing all this birthday party stuff.

We've got our own personalised mugs. Pete's got a four-pack of Tisky. I mean, I've done all right, really. You've got a big bag of fancy crisps at that, like 12 quid crisps. They're crazy expensive. And a pint of milk. And a pint of milk.

I think, I guess tea will be administered at some point. I don't really know how it's going to work. But I've got a pack. Natalie's made an insane cake. Oh, yeah. Let's talk about that cake. We'll share that on social. It's got batteries on it.

It's got batteries on it. It's got all sorts of drawings, like pictures of batteries rather than actual batteries, because that would be a terrible idea. Don't put them in your mouth.

Don't put them anywhere near your mouth. So Natalie is bloody lovely. I'm scared the amount of money she spends on this

to be quite frank because I'm very proud of her. But you know, well, cancer tiskeys are very affordable. We've also got a

big bag of MSG to share. Look, Aji no Moto, so Moto belonging to Aji, apparently, umami seasoning, purity greater than 99% monosodium glutamate, made in France, so there

we go. Beautiful. Bit of MSG as a birthday present, you can't beat it. Cut out the middleman. Don't bother getting a Chinese for your birthday, just pour the MSG down your throat. Yeah, if you put 300 grams of fried rice, three to four teaspoons. That's all you need. That's all you need, mate.

Last you for ages. Delicious. So thank you very much to Nat. She is a big, big part of this team, the most important part of the team, and she's done an amazing job for us. We really appreciate it. But thank you all to everyone listening

for allowing us to get this far, four years in, and we enjoy taking the piss out of each other pretty regularly. Right, now that's out the way, I want to talk about Richard Madeley. Okay. I feel like he's on manoeuvres.

He's making more moves than he ever has before. And I don't think we've talked about him enough. So I think we should definitely talk today, Monday, about Madeley. Madeley on Monday. Monday Madeley. Monday Madeley. Bit of Monday Madeley. What do you think about his most recent kind of resurgence?

And do you think, and crucially, Pete, he's getting booked on Good Morning Britain. We know what happened with Piers Morgan. We know they're getting through different presenters. They're trying people out. The people who are booking presenters on Good Morning Britain, they know what they're doing, don't they? They do, yeah.

And Morgan is very much shout at government minister, talk about how everyone's a snowflake, stick it on Twitter and they'll get a retweet by a load of people. Oh, aren't you clever peers? So I understand.

And this one is very much like a stunt booking. It's a doink the clown rather than the rock. They want the rock. They can't afford the rock. So they're going for doink the clown instead.

Who's the rock in this situation? Who is the the Gary Lineker why do they want Lineker they don't want Lineker they don't want Lineker but Madeley is remarkable because I think people missed the point

though slightly because I think he just doesn't give a shit I don't think he's completely unselfaware he's got like young he's got like young

coolish kids right his daughter Chloe Madeley she's like a broadcaster and stuff. So he'll understand what people are saying about him, but he just doesn't care. He's always... There are men who did a bit of work in the 80s and the 90s,

and because we have this kind of toxic nostalgia in this country, and everywhere, to be quite frank, and we're obsessed with our youth, and we want to be young again, and he is a face that we remember from our youth. And he's a man who hasn't really aged physically, you would say. He looks great for his age.

And he was mad then, but television was different. Yeah. And now he's mad now. And it's like, why is this man gay? So those who listen to this show kind of outside of the UK might not be familiar with him. It's Richard Madeley. He's been a presenter on TV

for a long time, as Pete said. He's basically like a real life Alan Partridge. But I mean, to the point of where it is just so full on. It's like he's been

microdosing LSD. Yeah. And he'll snap out of it at any minute and go, I'm sorry. Let's talk about the Hitler Youth. Get back down Carphone Warehouse and do his job.

You can do an hour just on the YouTube comments of the YouTube best ofs right it's so good people say people have met madly people are saying stuff like

this is a guy who absolutely closes the kitchen drawer with his hip yes which he's a brilliant shot I love just forensic

observations like that it's beautiful yeah he also there was also a brilliant comment on a YouTube best of of his where someone said, I was on this morning with Richard and Judy back in the 90s

because I'm a contortionist. Right. And they wanted me to show them the audience. My contortions. Yeah, my contortions. And so they had a really big briefing beforehand where I was told by the producers,

the show goes out live at 6pm. It's a family show. So it can't have been this morning. It must have been the later one they did. It's a family show. So you can't swear. You can't make any rude gestures. You can't do this.

You can't do that. So I went on the set, performed my first contortion and Richard Madeley said, what happens to your privates when you do that? He's like one step away from punching the commissioning edge of the BBC with a turkey on his fist.

Did he tell us what happens to his privates when he does that? No, no. What do you reckon? It's exactly what YouTube comments are for. It's all about that business. Don't like certain, I want to say,

I might get this wrong and you're going to correct me here. Right. I want to say Kung Fu Buddhist monks. What, pull them up into the body? Is there any place for it to go? Is there any place for a Kung Fu Buddhist monk to take a bit of a conflict?

But apparently they train themselves to do that. Right. They just go... What's that noise? It's swallowing backwards. Sounds like you swallowed something. Yeah, that's what the bird bodies do, swallowing it up, isn't it?

What noise would it make? Bloop. Up it goes, lift going up. Yeah. Can you see a bit of Maitley in your future? He certainly sort of moves into, but he's a solid presenter and he takes people into the,

like an emotional and conversational cul-de-sac all the time. I would argue I start there and never really get out. I can't really explain why I'm in the cul-de-sac. Oh, right. I'm just confusing and actually quite infuriating to co-host with, as you know. I enjoy it. Richard's got a lot of confidence, hasn't he, Richard Madeley? And there was a classic moment when he asked someone who was doing

a non-traditional job and he couldn't quite work it out because it was probably like an OnlyFans or something. And he was saying to this guest, do you make a lot of money for this? Are you rich? Are you rich off this?

And she went, what, are you rich? And he went, yeah. Are you making a lot of money? Perfect. Perfect.

It's a little bit thorough-esque. I enjoy it. Do you think he's a technically good presenter then? Yeah. Are you making a lot of money? Perfect. Perfect. It's a Theroux-esque. I enjoy it. Yeah, I enjoy that. Do you think he's a technically good presenter then? Yeah. I think Amanda Yannucci spoke about his blueprint, Partridge, as being like, you forget that Alan Partridge is technically a good presenter

because presenters have to be a bit mad. They have to be. They can't be normal. They can't have a sort of, you can't have a thing where you have to do gags. You have to do jokes and stuff. Richard, he's not telling jokes. He's just sort of going, he's not trying to score points. He's not trying to get on side with the audience.

He's a weird link monster who's trying to link things together. But occasionally that'll misfire and he'll sort of suggest something that's a little bit weird because most presenters are weird. Like 80% of TV presenters who've done their job for a long time are insane. Who's the weirdest one you've ever met? They're all mad. They are all

quite mad. I don't know. I've met a few but they're all very robotic, strange people. And when they, but they're all very robotic, strange people. Yeah. And when they're not, they're frequently in trouble for touching people.

I find. They have got the gift of the gab. They've chased a lot of pants people around with their old underpants pulled up over their shoulders. Exactly. Anyway, on that note, Pete, aside from our fourth birthday celebrations

and Richard Madeley, what have you been up to? What's been going on? Enjoying the football, presumably. Enjoying the football. I've watched more, because I'm in the middle of moving houses. It's been obviously a long project.

Oh, the house move, yeah. I've had my laptop. In every room I've been clearing out, I've had my laptop up and I've been watching all of the football, which I've watched more football than I've ever watched in a tournament thus far. I think regularly.

I've only been a few rounds. Yeah, I've bought on the round we should first offer our congratulations at your successful house purchase right yeah it must be a weight

off your mind it was off my mind and then I got a text message saying how much the mortgage is every month oh yeah I was like whoa that's a lot of cheese

it'll batter you oh dear but got the keys went to the house, and this neighbour came over from the other side of the road, lovely bloke called Damien, and he basically said, oh, welcome to the neighbourhood, introduced his kid, and then went back,

and then about an hour later he turned up with, get this, he remembered our names, he'd written it into a card saying you know welcome to the neighbourhood from my partner and my two kids sounds absolutely ideal this mate

he makes rum or imports rum badges it up and he he didn't give you a load of stuff to stash did he he's a pirate he gave us

a bottle of rum and two eggs because they've got chickens out the back which is a lovely touch but you know what I'm I think if you don't

know someone them just giving you two eggs he said they had chickens it's a threat it's a threat don't damage them but it was like

you know what I am like when Natalie rocked up with an amazing cake and crisps and tisky stuff I get stressed out I get upset there is a debt

to be paid for me I'm like an emotional debt I'm scared of presents it upsets me though it's lovely would you prefer some kind of crack then

presumably I know where I am when I crack then I just stay away from him but yeah he comes over and I was like I'm gonna

I'm gonna I'm gonna fuck it up somehow with him I'm gonna upset him somehow I'm gonna say the wrong thing and I'm going to say the wrong thing. And I genuinely, when he gave me the eggs, I thought I'd just throw them, throw his eggs at him. Imagine if I just threw my egg through the eggs. I've got to, look, when I'm going to ruin this, I'm going to say something bad. You're not going to like me. The neighborhood's going to hate me. That's just who I am. But my partner, Sarah, will be able to smooth it over. Right.

Okay. So why don't I just get the uncomfortableness out the way and I'll just egg your house now. Yeah. With the two eggs you just gave me. Yeah. I'll buy these eggs, crunch, crunch them in my hands. I thought you were going to say something that would,

I can imagine you saying is like, what do you say? No, here's some eggs. We've got chickens. You would have blurted out by accident. Oh yeah. Yeah.

We've got chickens as well. I don't know what I want to buy some chickens. I'll give you some eggs. And then you'd have to get into this weird scenario and have to keep buying yeah, yeah, we've got chickens as well. I don't know what I would have bought some chickens. I'll give you some eggs. And then you'd have to get into this weird scenario and have to keep buying eggs all the time. Pretending I've got chickens. Oh, just putting feathers on Buckley the dog. Yeah, you wouldn't have seen this breed before.

It's very unique. There was a guy at my uni. That's not an egg, that's poo. Dog's egg. Dog egg. Paint a shell around it. There was a guy at my uni who really wanted to be friends with all the DJs

that worked at the student union and I was I worked behind what's all weird I'm pushing I know but I was at

radio union nice radio people I worked behind the bar at the student union so I kind of knew about all this

and he wanted to be cool bless him but he wasn't cool they thought he was and he said to the DJs or one or two of the DJs

at uni oh I can get older cds this is like back in the day jesus christ it was a thing because they have to love their cds everywhere so they wanted to get free ones it's amazing right and so um people are brilliant oh nice one yeah exactly any chart cd you want you just let me know which one you want put it in a list or whatever and i'll get it for you. And I didn't really explain it. And everyone thought he was quite cool for that. And so he kind of, his credibility went up

and no word of a lie, about two weeks later, I saw him in HMV buying, just buying them. Yeah. So I can kind of see you getting into that scenario with eggs.

Yeah, that's... With your neighbours. Way more affordable. What's your neighbour's name? The neighbour you've got access to? Damien. Damien? Damien. Nice. It's great though to have a bit of you've got access to? Damien. Damien? Damien.

Nice. It's great, though, to have a bit of a friendly welcome. Once you get over your weird neuroticism, it's fine. It was lovely. I will get over it. He seems very lovely. What are you going to do if he invites you around? Kill his chicken somehow.

I don't know. I don't know. I'll do something terrible. I'm just constantly filled with anxiety that I'm going to ruin it. Because he seems so nice. So you think you should ruin it now? Just get it out of the way and then I can rebuild. Get really pissed on his rum

and do something unspeakable. It's your fucking fault. Come around and do your rum. Your delicious rum. Yeah. I think people can generally, I can certainly relate to the idea that for me, there's definitely a point.

So what I mean is that, so our neighbours are all lovely. I know all of them and they're all really nice. So for me, there's definitely a point. So what I mean is that, so our neighbours are all lovely. I know all of them and they're all really nice. So for example, Mimi was asking one of our neighbours, Derek, about one of our plants because he's a really keen gardener and he got his book out.

This is what you want to do. And it's really lovely to have that, like someone there being that kind of neighbourly. Our downstairs neighbours are amazing. They look after our cats from real way. So it's fine. But I do think there is a point, particularly when you're British,

where you're like, I will be like a friend to you to this point. But something in your mind goes, but you're not my real mates. Right, yeah. I don't want to be overly friendly. If you start inviting me, you know, to your family wedding or something,

it's a bit odd. So I think what you've done is you've just dialed that up to 11, right? Yeah. It'll be fine, I'm sure. Geographically, how many neighbours are around? Four or five, I think. Yeah, it's like a little kind of street.

What is it, like a detached house? No. It's the end of a terrace. End of a terrace, okay, right. So you haven't got too much to deal with then? No, no, no. Do you reckon they're going to start asking you to be like, or kind of implying that you need to be quite community spirited and stuff?

Yeah, I mean, I sort of let everyone down in the current house because I just kept, I do a lot of grass cutting, but the front could do with a cut every now and again and a weeding. I've not had a weed for a while. But it's, you know, I've got lots of things to do. Is this your new house or your old house? The old house. But you're leaving, so who gives a shit?

I know, yeah. I know. They'll never find you. Say that. They'll never find me. Leave a note, right, in an envelope to everyone so they think it's a nice card. Yeah, so you'll never find me.

You'll never find me. I'm the fucking Lizard King. You don't even know my real name. You'll never find me. Brilliant stuff. All right, listen, let's have a quick break. When we come back, we will do some of your emails. There's some great ones in there this week.

There's always great ones, to be honest. Have you ever done something unspeakable to, with, or on your neighbour? I want to hear... Helloatlookandpitcher.com Yeah, I want to hear awkward neighbours. We've done emailers like, what's the biggest thing you've found buried in your garden? We can do awkward neighbours for sure.

So yeah, helloatlookandpitcher.com is the email address. We'll be back just after this. garden we can do awkward neighbours for sure so yeah hello at lukeandpeach.com is the email address we'll be back just after this and we're back it is the Luke and Peach Shore part one of the week part one of two we've got some emails

for you but this is part two of part one oh yeah part two of it's 1.2 1B it's 1B yeah if it was if you're writing this program in

basic there'd be a 10, print, open comma, hello world, close comma. Do all the codes. Maybe a semicolon. And then 15 would be repeat 10. And then that would be the whole program. That's this week's program, this Monday's program. Is that the one you get

where you just cover the whole screen? Yeah, repeat. Yeah, I remember that one. That was fucking great when you were a kid. So cool. It never changed really.

You just get to say hello. Hello world and then yeah, go back to 10. It's like beautiful. Endless recursive loop. Oh, fantastic. That's that kind of...

Monday. It's that kind of Monday. Yeah, it's just that kind of nostalgic trip. You were talking about... Were you talking about toxic nostalgia earlier? Yeah. Okay. It's that kind of Monday yeah it's just that kind of like nostalgic trip you were talking about were you talking about toxic nostalgia earlier yeah

okay it's that sort of thing where there's somebody nothing toxic about that code though no clean yeah

clean code it's the cleanest of codes pleasing nostalgia if you come to that you know 10 years later and it's just been reverse engineered

from assembly like that it's some clean code I can understand what's going on here to be quite frank somebody talked about it quite recently

and they are, they said that, you know when you sort of join an organisation, I've done this several times to be quite frank, when I joined Absolute Radio, people talked about how

it was great when I was a virgin. It was great back when, it was great back when the ginger bloke was in charge and we used to go to New York. It's probably why I don't have any money now

because we used to take the whole company to New York to have a party. Yeah. On Virgin Atlantic. I mean, if someone in charge just does whatever they want and they're a maniac.

Yeah. I don't mean this in a rude way, but... It's good for the maniac. Yeah, you understand why me and John have to be here. Right, yeah. Don't you?

Because if it was just you, some of it would be amazing, but some of it would be like, what is happening? Nobody would get their invitations paid on time. Quite exactly. Or they'd get paid double the amount they did. Have a bit more.

By way of apology. But yeah, no, I was just going to say, the reason I'm asking about that nostalgia thing is because I was in a pub last night with some friends, and there were people of different ages there. And there was this girl there who was about 23 and she I don't think she meant to be rude but she

just went to me so um you're around in the 90s I was like oh papa father time and I was like

yeah please tell us your secrets and she just went what was it like oh mate I was like

well I was working in like a sports shop living with my parents i don't think you're really the zeitgeisty man you want to talk about here i wasn't the fucking bass player in oasis it was pretty much like it is now but i was just younger but i would they love the 90s the kids now they love it because rock music died then it never came back she never heard of the strokes oh really wow okay fair well yeah it is one of those things where it's kind of like

I guess the 80s were regarded as being incredibly uncool when we were about 18, 19 when we were 18, 19 the 70s were cool and remember you have disco nights and all the pints would be 70p

a lot of the Britpop fashion stuff was like based in the 70s yeah yeah I guess so so yeah cyclical right anyway emails hello at lukeandpete show.com the first email we've got here is from Lewis hello to you Lewis Lewis Hyatt 70s yeah yeah I guess so so yeah cyclical right anyway emails hello at lukeandpeachow.com the

first email we've got here is from Lewis hello to you Lewis Lewis Hyatt who's talking about steps in the day big walks for some reason I got into big like conversation around big walks didn't I a few weeks ago yeah have we kind of um we sound like two old dads talking about big walks what's your biggest walk we just haven't got kids that's the only difference right you've got you've got access to two dogs and I've got access to two dogs and I've got access to two cats. That's it. Lewis, well, listen,

whether you like it or not, Pete, it's resonated with the listeners. True. It's like my Icelandic hot dogs on the ramble. Lewis says, in the summer of 2015, while studying in Portsmouth, I theorised that it would be possible

to walk all the way from Portsmouth to Southampton in a day. The naysayers said it wouldn't be possible without training or some level of fitness. Nevertheless, a friend and I set off from the underrated Gunwolf Keys at 8am. Is Gunwolf Keys underrated? You quite like it, don't you?

Yeah, I rate it. I overrate it, if anything. Yeah, I agree with that. And Lewis says we managed to eventually reach Wagamamas in Southampton. The spiritual centre of Southampton. Just before sunset, stopping along the way at various countryside pubs for a few swifties. The whole idea

was completely pointless and if anything slowed down the submission of my dissertation and led me to be unable to walk without pain for two days. Nevertheless, it is a memory that I will always cherish. Lewis has helpfully fitted, sorry attached his Fitbit screenshot. 34.75 kilometres,

46,513 steps. Very, very strong. Covered in Wagamama's Katsu curry sauce. It's the only place you could go into, the only situation you could go into Wagamama's

and emerge still in the calorie deficit, I would have thought. But I thought about the walk from Portsmouth to Southampton because it's an area that I know pretty well. It's not a great walk. It's not, but I wouldn't say it's pretty.

No. So you're going to have some nice parts. You're probably going to walk on the border of places like Titchfield and Surrisbury, and you might even go around the backside of Fairham and it wouldn't be too bad depending on which way you go but you're not going to walk on the M27 so parts of it are going to be okay

a lot of it's going to be fucking grim so good on you for doing an Alan Partridge-esque walk along probably several dual carriageways but there are a lot of nice pubs around there so thank you for that Lewis yeah fantastic stuff we have got a message from oh I've lost my press here it is we've got a message from oh I've lost my press here it is

we've got a message from Alec Alec Lodge I like this one hi guys so there's this show you talked about false advertising mainly concerning five guys fries which

I happen to think are excellent for balance this set my brain off on a tangent remembering some irrelevant advertising specifically a home pride soup

advert from about 20 years ago in the advert for the litre bottle of soup, they felt the need to inform you that once it's open, you keep it in the fridge. Absolutely not a selling point. More a public service announcement.

Most things need to be kept in the fridge once opened. What do you keep in the fridge? So I had a big thing about this yesterday. I'm pleased that Alec got in touch. We've had a lot of humid weather. Right. I think it's affecting the bread

what keeping it out of the fridge keeping it I think it's really affecting the nation's supply of bread why are you not sort of like wrapping it up

after you've finished I leave it in the bag right yeah but the temperature is turning it mouldy so fast oh right yeah well maybe you do

keep it in the fridge then well some people keep it in the fridge but I've traditionally never trusted those people because I think it's weird I think that people have, and it's very dull,

sort of local radio text there, but that's never stopped us before. Let's make that very clear. You know, the stuff you keep in the fridge instinctively is the stuff you don't keep in the fridge. Because people will start you putting tomato sauce in the fridge and you're like,

it's tomato sauce, don't worry about it. Don't stress out. I think you... Why does sweet chilli sauce live outside the fridge and that one lives in the fridge? Anything a bit fancy, you panic a bit. I stick everything in the fridge condiment-wise apart from HP.

Why does HP get a bit of love outside? It's weird, isn't it? It's different rules. No one's got the cohesive idea about what's supposed to belong in there. So you wouldn't put ketchup in the fridge? Sriracha mayonnaise. You think mayonnaise probably belongs in the

fridge, doesn't it? Yeah, but when you buy it, it's just on the shelf. It's just on the shelf, isn't it? Yeah. What about, talk to

me about... A sperm sample. Fridge. Always. Always in the fridge. You'll lose his efficacy over time. Exactly.

And also, if you're in a hilarious film like Ted 2, that I've seen 10 minutes of, you need to be able to spill it everywhere for a joke. What's it called? Ted 2? The've seen 10 minutes of you need to be able to spill it everywhere for a joke what's it called

Ted 2 the little bear little naughty bear oh I've not seen either of them any good I've only seen 10 minutes of that one

first one any good I don't know I've only seen 10 minutes of the second one is it like the anti Paddington anti Paddington 2 a film that I

cannot deliver as much as everyone says however good it is I've only seen Paddington 2 and I thought it was excellent

I have to say I don't know why I draw the line at HP another big one is jam because jam traditionally is preserved right so jam was invented as a way to preserve fruit

yes so it's a preserve so technically it doesn't need to get under fruit cold jam on toast ugh gross so you wouldn't keep jam under fruit

no I would because it looks right but then it's actually rubbish jar of pickled onions opened no I think it's still in the cupboard eggs fridge

gherkins cupboard jalapenos cupboard they don't last long enough in my house jalapenos so my wife as everyone knows,

is Italian-American, the wife I have access to. Her and her family are very strict on what you do with leftover pizza. Right, okay. They won't let you put it in the fridge. Really? On the side. On the side, forever?

And you can't warm it up again. Then what are they doing? Can they not make eggy bread like what I do with French toast? I French toast it. You are going to be fucking for the hard job. Mix up again. Then what are they doing? Can they not make eggy bread? Like, well, I do some French toast. I French toast it. You are going to be fucking for the hard job. Mix up egg. If the great LC is listening to this,

you're in big trouble, mate. Cover the pizza slice in egg, throw it in the pan, sugar, whatever you do with French toast, bit of syrup. Mwah. Chef's kiss.

And is it not dependent at all on the topping of the pizza? Not really, no. I mean, if you put in old shoes on it I mean like be prepared to have a terrible time most toppings

I don't want maple syrup very sugary it's very cheese very sugary stuff it's like yeah it's like a pancake it's delicious

the complicated relationship that Americans have with sweet and savoury is something that is very I don't think Americans I know this has been said before but I really want to stress I don't think Americans, I know this has been said before, but I really want to stress, I don't think Americans fully understand

the ordeal that a Brit goes through. Putting, mixing sweets. Yeah, it's just an overload. I understand that in principle it can work and I want it to work, but you need to hold my hand through this. Yeah. Explain to a pig what you're doing to its bacon.

Why are you covering, you've only flared my skin and you've burned it and now you've burned it too much in America because it goes all crispy and weird. But yeah, that's on the plate now

and now you're adding sweet stuff to it. I just don't, I don't want to be in a world where you have maple syrup and eggs on the same plate. It just seems weird. I get it with the bacon to an extent. It is very nice though. You get maple, but you get maple syrup and eggs on the same plate. It just seems weird. I get it with the bacon.

It is very nice though. You get maple cured bacon. That kind of makes sense. Anyway, we digress. We digress. As we always do on this show. Sorry, yeah. Going back to Alec Lodge's... He was talking about the soup

that wants to talk and you keep it in the fridge. Bit of a public service announcement, but they were doing it like a selling point. open, you keep it in the fridge, bit of a kind of public service announcement, but they were sort of doing it like a selling point, like you have to keep it in the fridge. Bizarrely, a woman I worked with at the time was microwaving said soup, and someone said, ooh, that smells good, to which she replied, it's that new soup,

the one you keep in the fridge once it's open. So clearly it worked on her. Utterly ridiculous, and it still annoys me to this day. You could do that with anything, couldn't you? You've got to keep this in the fridge. People are idiots. Like it's fresh.

Like it's fresher than the other soup that you get. There was a guy I used to work with who used to microwave fish in the kitchen.

Terrorist. Open. Terrorist. Open plan office. Office terrorist. Not even a door to the kitchen. That's a B45. Get out.

Did you ever visit when I worked at Betfair? Did you ever visit there? No. And so the kitchen. Because's a B45, get out. Did you ever visit, when I worked at Betfair, did you ever visit there? No. And so the kitchen... Because that would be weird. No, but like sometimes, I mean, yeah, fair enough. Hi, Luke.

We don't hang out outside of work. No, we could have met for a pint after work, but thinking about it, you never want to do that. So the kitchen, I can't stress enough, it was no border. So it was like a full open plan thing. That's difficult difficult isn't it that is

yeah you just walk and the desks would end it would go from carpet to hard floor and there'd be like a tea point and loads of microwaves and everything

and he would microwave fish every day was he like a pump up Mr Pump Up Muscle Man so you couldn't really sort of complain about him he was Greek right

not that that stops him being bustly I don't know why I said that if anything it's the opposite right Greek people Greek God. Handsome, yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, so it can happen. I think some people can be very weird in the office environment. Because I think there's definitely elements to the idea that you don't, with us it's a bit different, but like in big companies, you'll meet a couple of people before you start working there and you'll get a vibe about it. But then you'll meet a load of people that you've got to spend eight hours a day

with every day back in the day at least and some of them are just mental you've just got to deal with it some of the weirdest

people I've met are just people I've randomly worked with so you've got to be careful you know true

anyway let's get out of here let's do another show on Thursday Pete we'll do some of your battery brands we'll do some more

of your emails check out our pictures on social of the amazing cake that Natalie brought in, uh, and the crisps and the Tisky and, uh, the bonus. You can go to Matt.

Yeah. Mental note to do that before we eat it. Cause he's not going to last very long. We'll see you on Thursday. Thanks very much for listening. Leave us a review. All that good stuff. Do do it though.

Don't just go, always good. He's doing the outro now. So I'm just going to turn it off. And if you are a muscular Greek person, do get in touch. Give him both barrels. Don't just go, he's doing the outro now so I'm just going to turn it off. And if you are a muscular Greek person, do get in touch. Give him both barrels.

Defend yourself. Defend yourself. Defend your physique. From microwaving fish. Imagine Luke has just come into your office while you're munching on a big bit of microwave fish and he's poking you in the belly

going, you're not muscular. You don't deserve this. I'm going to get this down before Luke eats it. See you on Thursday. The Luke and Pete Show is a Stack production and part of the Acast Creator Network.
