Baby, baby
It's Thursday, it's the Luke P.H.O.P.
Donaldson with you
If you're listening to us in the bath
Do not drown
It's the last thing we want for crying out loud
Don't have your foot a bit slippy with shower gel
And slip on the floor
and crack your head.
We don't want all that
on our consciences either.
What do you do in the bath?
You don't want to know, mate.
I do want to know.
You don't want to know.
I don't really have baths.
No.
Well, moved in the house.
The man who owned
the house before us
was a photographer
and he used to spend
a lot of time
travelling Europe
taking photos presumably
and he used to stay in some pretty nice travelling Europe taking photos presumably and he used to stay
in some pretty nice hotels
apparently
and he put a telly
in the bath.
Oh, I've seen,
you showed me a picture
of that, yeah.
So like,
I can watch only
terrestrial television
because it doesn't have
a dongle or anything
or an HDMI input.
So I watch a lot
of the World Cup in there.
Sorry, the Euros in there.
So that,
is it annoying
on one level
that it's only terrestrial?
A little bit
because I have a little
place dish or something
in the wall.
That's problematic.
That's problematic.
That's dangerous.
I mean, if I was to have a bath,
say when I played football
and I used to have a little bath afterwards,
I would take the laptop in there
and watch something on TV.
Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah, yeah.
I just find that I have baths
like as hot as like a geyser,
as hot as like
I can possibly
stand it
and then after
the bath
which lasts about
five minutes
because I'm too hot
I have to go and
have a lie down
on the bed
because I'm just
too hot
it was too much
of an experience
for me
yeah
it's crazy
why do I do that
to myself
yeah
I know what you mean
I do find myself
regularly feeling up
with a bit more
hot water
the thing with me
is I'm too big for a bath.
Too big for a bath.
The man who can't be bathed.
Yeah, that's going to be the biopic of my life.
But I can't have the whole length of my body in the bath at one time.
Right, okay.
So it's legs out or body out, torso out.
I mean, okay.
So you can't be submerged in a bath.
That's really sad. Just get a deep bath. Get a big, deep bath. It's not as. I mean, okay. So you can't be submerged in a bath. That's really sad.
Just get a deep bath.
Get a big, deep bath.
It's not as simple as that, mate.
Get a big, deep L-shaped bath
and you can curl up in the fetal position.
I'm not on that 24-4
and administer it money like you are, mate.
I can't just fucking shell out for a big, deep bath.
I love that you're obsessed with me being on a 24-4.
It's just funny, isn't it?
What do you mean?
It's transcended podcasts now.
It's just funny.
Well, it is funny,
but it's only funny because you never watched 24.
If you were a disciple of Bauer,
you would understand it.
But it's so you, isn't it?
Why?
Because it's just such a Pete Donaldson TV show
to choose to be a forum member on.
No, it was a mass market Fox sensation.
What did you like about it then?
It was violent.
It was sexy.
What was sexy about it then? It was violent. It was sexy. What was sexy about it?
The ladies.
The women were all very good looking, weren't they?
Right.
And the men were all very good looking at it.
Yeah.
It was good.
All right.
And also, you would get a situation where people would have no prior kind of computer
analyst knowledge at all.
They'd work in shoe shops and just have random jobs.
But because it was useful to the plot,
they would suddenly start working at the counterintelligence.
Is it counterintelligence?
Yeah, counterintelligence.
CTU is the name of the CIA-style place.
Yeah, they would suddenly start working as hardcore computer
analysts, even though
they had literally no
grounding in it at all.
But because they were
a familiar face, they
just put them in the
screen.
Put them in the
situation.
And that gave you a
bit of hope that you
could do something
Give me a bit of hope
that you didn't need
any prior computer
knowledge, but you
could just go and get
an analyst job who
would pay ridiculous
amounts of money.
Yeah. Did you ever watch It's not about the money though, it's stopping terrorism. Exactly. It's about the, it's computer knowledge but you could just go and get an analyst job who would pay ridiculous amounts of money yeah
did you ever watch
it's not about the money
though
stop them terrorism
it's about the
it's a vocation
yeah
isn't it
it's about trying to
assassinate the president
by smearing something
on your hand
and putting it on his
hand and it being a
nerve agent that
touched his hands
and then he collapses
that's killing the
president
oh no I've killed him
but did you did you
did you feel like
your role on the 24 forum
did you and the guys
on the forum
the gang
yeah
the lads
yeah
did they ever think
like what we need to do
is we need to
prevent terrorism
on other forums
what do you mean
just ape
to like
oh yeah
because we could be
our own little
live imitating art
yeah okay
like find bad actors
on other forums
back in the day
there weren't that many
bad actors
people were being rotten
what I'm saying is
every terrorist
has now been groomed
and moulded
and encouraged
on an internet forum
that is a let down
and that is a failure
of you and your lot
on your 24 forum
who are absolutely
perfectly positioned
with everything you've learned
so we could have
prevented like
internet racism and stuff like that all this stuff that we hear about So we could have prevented like internet racism
and stuff like that.
All this stuff that we hear about now,
we could have prevented it
because of the skills and tools
we've learned and crafted
over the years
on the 24th of August.
I just think you're a chosen few
and with great power
comes great responsibility.
And you wasted that opportunity
just by talking about the TV show
when you could have seen
what was going to come
on the internet.
A shit show was on its way.
There was a storm of shit on its way. Yeah.
There was a storm of shit on the way,
a reckoning, a fucking rapture,
and you slept on the job.
Yeah.
Sorry, everyone.
It's my fault.
I didn't.
Were you an administrator of the forum?
No, I wasn't an administrator.
Can you imagine me ever administrating anything?
Like, sort of saying,
no, we need to get rid of this.
I've tried to imagine it a few times.
I think it would be nice, but it's never quite happened. Okay, well of saying, no, we need to get rid of this. I've tried to imagine it a few times. I think it would be nice.
It's never quite happened.
Okay, well, look,
I'm interested in it.
This show, a lot of the time,
is about things that you say
that I'm interested in.
And the things you've put
on the running order for today's show
are point break
and horse shit.
Yeah.
So I'm just trying to stall
ahead of talking about those, really.
Right, okay.
What's the point break one all about?
Point break.
After K-Pax, slid right into watching a bit of point break.
On the recent show, you talked about K-Pax.
Now it's point break.
Talk to me.
Which, inexplicably, there was a remake of point break where I had no idea about.
There was no need for it, was there?
There was certainly no need for it.
I completely agree.
Yeah, so this was actually cribbed from the Football Ramble.
We didn't actually get to it today, or last week rather, as we're recording it.
Troy Deeney said about Ronaldo, he said,
if I saw Ronaldo eating horse shit before a match, I'd eat it too.
Right.
The outspoken, frequently outspoken Troy Deeney was talking about that.
And I was like, could you eat horse shit?
Is it the same as dog shit?
And I was like, could you eat horse shit?
Is it the same as dog shit?
Look, the Environmental Protection Agency excluded horse manure from solid waste regulation because it contains neither
significant amounts of hazardous materials
nor exhibits hazardous characteristics.
Horses do not carry any of the 120 viruses, spices, and pathogens
that create risk for humans from carnivore and omnivore species.
The pathogens that do exist in horse leavings require ingestion to create a health risk, typically abdominal discomfort.
But you're thinking, all right, well, that's, you know, horse manure.
It's off the it's off the table for food.
Most of these pathogens have very short lifespans on the ground, though, meaning the risk of infection through ingestion is very limited.
No record exists of horses transmitting any disease to humans.
Luke Moore.
That's mad.
Let's have some horse shit.
That's absolutely mad.
Let's have some horse shit for tea.
I'm very surprised to hear that.
Yeah.
You would just assume because it's dirty, dirty bum bum.
Yeah.
It's disgusting.
It is disgusting
you're just saying
it's not going to make
those blokes who have sex
with them a little less
a little more palatable
I would say
where's that come from
because that's one of the reasons
why you don't want to have sex
with an animal
because it's poo
on your willy
but one of the reasons
that's not the reason
that's what I presumed
it was all about
that's not the reason
but what I'm saying is
that I reckon
we should only
no one said I'd love to have sex with a horse,
but I might get some poo on my willy.
No one says that.
We've been recording for a while, right?
We're in a block of two hours of recording here.
But what I'm saying is...
That's why we started the show so badly.
That's what I'm trying to explain, right?
You're getting confused.
Right.
Because you're getting confused between something
that probably won't literally kill you and a good thing to confused. Right. Because you're getting confused between something that probably won't literally kill you.
Right.
And a good thing to do.
Yeah.
Okay, right.
It's like saying...
It might be a good thing to do.
We can't eat some...
Oh, shit, though.
It's like saying most heavy punches to the face do not result in death.
Yes.
Right?
Fine.
Right.
If that's the statistics, that's fine.
Yeah.
It doesn't mean you should actually go and seek out being punched in the face because you won't die.
Look, I don't think those statistics exist,
can we be quite frank?
What do you mean?
I just don't think they particularly exist.
Like, most punches to the face don't result in death.
Yeah.
Who's doing that study?
Well, they do all sorts, don't they?
They do all sorts, don't they?
There's a guy there who's doing a study
about whether you can eat horse shit or not.
Yeah.
Mad, isn't it?
I'll be honest
I didn't
that is surprising to hear
yeah
it is very surprising
if you stand in a
in a horse poo
you're fine
you'll be fine
I don't know about
any other animals
that you'd see
you know rabbit shit
pigs and
and beefy boys
cows
it's a great
it's a great
service to people
listening
knowing that if they tread in horse shit because it's a great it's a great service to people listening knowing
that if they tread
in the horse shit
because it's big
yeah
it can happen
that you're not
really going to do
any damage
to yourself
yeah no it's fine
even if someone
treads it
and you can't
lick it
and your dog
licks it
mind you dogs
can eat anything
can't they
dogs can't eat
everything yeah
everything and anything
apart from weird things like onions.
And chocolate.
They can't eat onions and chocolate, yeah.
Is grapes one?
I want to say grapes might be one, yeah.
It's very, very strange.
But on Point Break, moving back to Point Break,
have people really forgotten?
Because obviously Keanu Reeves is coming back
for the new Matrix film.
I don't think we need that.
We don't need that, but it's nice to see that we've,
for the people who like the Matrix, there's films that will,
and maybe they can readdress the whole red pill, green pill stuff.
Got a lot to answer for.
Through no fault of their own.
Yeah, exactly.
And yeah, I was watching Point Break and I was like,
oh my God, like compared to Swayze,
Keanu Reeves was and possibly isn't anymore.
He was a terrible
fucking actor
I know he had a
reputation for being
a terrible actor
but I hadn't watched
much of his stuff
I don't think he is
that good
he's terrible
I don't think he is
that good
he's better now
because he's
he's still got the
presence
and he doesn't
he's not as
energetic in his
acting anymore
but Jesus
but older men
who have got a lot
of experience
under their belt
in acting,
they don't seem
to have to do much.
Yeah,
because they've got
their portfolio,
people know who they are.
Yeah,
like Pacino said it,
didn't he?
He said most of what
really hard to get
noticed as an actor.
And now,
I just walk into a room,
raise an eyebrow
and they say,
give that man an Oscar.
Because I guess
people just get seduced
by the charisma
and experience
and the ruggedness of it
and they're growing up
with that character as well
there are scenes
in the Matrix
which admittedly
he's 20 years old
or whatever
where Reeves
is
I would
chewing the scenery
it's not quite laughably bad
but it is bad
there's a bit where
do you remember
in the scene
quite early on
in the Matrix
where he gets he's in his office in his open plan office and he gets a package and it's a mobile phone, do you remember in the scene quite early on in The Matrix where he gets, he's in his office
in his open plan office and he gets a package
and it's a mobile phone and as soon as he opens it
it rings. Old Motorola. Yeah, it's a flip
phone, it's cool. And he
answers it and fucking, what's his name?
Lon Cichabon says. He's
talking to him. Weather! It was the
noughties.
Yeah, he says, do you want to go
to get some buffalo wings tonight?
And Keanu says,
I can't get away from work.
And he says,
well, do exactly what I say
and you can get out of work
at normal notice
and you can have some
sweet buffalo wings with me later.
Yeah.
And he says,
all right, I'll do it.
I don't remember enough
of the Matrix to say
which bits of those are real.
Well, anyway,
and the agents have come for him
and Fishburne,
whose fucking name is really annoying me,
Morpheus, guides him out of the office
to get away from the agents.
And the way he wants them to do it
is he wants them to get out of the fucking high rise
onto a scaffold.
It's about 50 stories up.
Yes.
And it's fucking frightening.
But Keanu Reeves, at one point he just goes,
I can't do this.
This is insane.
And it just sounds so bad.
It sounds so bad it takes you out of it.
So I think he's always in his locker to be fairly poor.
And what about his most recent outing was in Cyberpunk, wasn't it?
Yes, he was.
He was Johnny Silverhands or something.
Did they have his chopper come out?
What?
All the choppers came out, didn't they, in Cyberpunk?
Oh, yes, they did.
Yeah, no, I don't think Johnny English,
Johnny Cyberhands,
his woolly flopped out at any moment.
It would have been funny if he did.
Yeah.
So I think there's a lot of actors
who kind of get away with stuff.
Did you ever hear the Morpheus rap
from Hannibal Buress on the Eric Andre show?
Oh, it sounds brilliant.
He was dressed one week as Morpheus Buress.
Yeah.
Big, long leather jacket, like Lawrence Fishburne.
I haven't seen it.
Hannibal Buress?
Buress?
Hang on.
There you go.
Hannibal Buress?
Morpheus.
Dorpheus.
Morpheus.
Dorpheus.
Go eat some warruses. Orphuses. Porruses. Morpheus. Morpheus Dorpheus Morpheus Go eat some
Worcesters
Orifices
Porridges
Morpheus
Morpheus
Go get to the buffet
In Worcesters
Orphanage
Corpuses
Worcesters sauce
Go into your
Orifices
Red pill
Blue pill
Morpheus
Worcesters
Seashells
But I see
Dorpheus
Very good Very good.
Very good.
Morpheus, obvious.
I love Hannibal Buress.
He's brilliant.
Morrises.
Worcestershire sausages.
What a freestyle.
What a freestyle.
Pete, what do you think about the...
So some people would say, possibly,
that the Football Ramble has inspired
a load of really shit
football content.
Yeah.
Would you agree with that?
And created.
No, but you know what I mean though?
Yeah.
Okay.
Because it's been around so long.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
And I feel...
You see echoes.
You feel like you've
started some things
that you wish you hadn't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's a complicated thing
because it's nothing to do with you
but it happens.
So with the red pill thing,
do you think the makers
of The Matrix? the makers of the
Matrix
because one of the
directors is a
trans woman right
the Wachowski sisters
the trans woman
they're both
they're both trans
women
I wasn't aware
of that
is it Wachowski
Wachowski sisters
yeah it was
yeah
I thought it was
sisters today
sisters
obvious
obvious
sisters
but what do you
think about the
idea that this
whole thing's been
co-opted
and I wonder if
that would have
come into their
thinking about why they're making it
because for me
I wouldn't want to
have anything to do
with that
oh what do you mean
as in like
the red pill thing
the fucking
what's it called
the fucking incels
dickheads
you find them
with the YouTube videos
and the fucking
crying and all that
so what
they would be upset
that they created
something so horrific
but you can only
lead it
like it's not your fault and no one would ever blame you that they created something so horrific. But you can only lead it.
Like, it's not your fault.
No one would ever blame you.
It's kind of even worse when there's that and then there's like kind of like visual kind of representations
of like the Pepe the Frog and stuff.
Is Pepe the Frog Pepe the Frog?
Pepe the Frog.
It's a frog.
It's definitely a frog.
It's a frog, isn't it?
Him and stuff.
And I think that guy just created it because he liked the little a frog. It was a frog, wasn't it? Him and stuff. And I think that guy just created it
because he liked the little cartoon frog.
But that was co-opted in a really horrific way,
really quickly.
The thing about the...
The only thing I know about this new movie,
Matrix Resurrections,
which is coming out this year,
is the poster.
Right.
The teaser poster.
I've not seen the teaser poster.
And the teaser poster is a red pill and a blue pill.
Right.
And it says the choice is yours
so they've really leaned into it
they've really led into it
oh do you think
that there's some part
of the marketing
that sort of says
there's a lot of people
talking about these red pills
let's do the red pill thing
maybe they just want to
kind of set the record straight
I don't fucking know
maybe they'll redress
something that's not
their fault anyway
all I'm saying is
it's got Neil Patrick Harris in it
it's got Neil Patrick Harris in it
give it a chance they've got rid of Lawrence Fishburne and they've got Neil Patrick Harris in it. It's got Neil Patrick Harris in it. Give it a chance.
They've got rid of Lawrence Fishburne and added Neil Patrick Harris.
You can still find them.
You can still find them.
You can still find them.
Let's have a break and consider, and maybe we'll take the blue pill in the break.
Okay, yeah.
Which is the worst one?
I think the red one gives you the truth and makes you sort of aware that the-
But the incels talk about black pills, don't they?
Black pills?
Yeah.
No, those red pill, blue pill, isn't it?
Yeah, but they talk about black pills.
Look, I'm telling you something about internet culture.
This is a fucking great thing.
Oh, God.
I've never been able to teach you anything about it before.
It's a great thing.
So anyway, let's have a break.
Come back.
Ta-ta.
We'll do an email or two.
And we've got a battery brown for you.
And then we'll get the fuck out of here.
All right, then.
Get the fuck out of Dodge, baby.
Get the fuck out of here.
Hey. It's a look at me
it's the
look at me picture
hey
it's
we're in a world now
where
we said last
John Chalice
what
John Chalice
Boise
from Only Fools and Horses
you love Only Fools and Horses
I love Only Fools and Horses what You love Only Fools and Horses. I love Only Fools and Horses.
What a day for you.
Marlene.
I know when he said that.
Well, are you going to be respectful about him
when he's passed on?
I'm going to have to be, aren't I?
Yeah.
Annoying, isn't it?
Big in Serbia, wasn't he?
He's big in Serbia.
He had Boise in Serbia.
A very noble actor.
Boise in Belgrade, it was called.
Boise in Belgrade.
That was his documentary.
I forgot about that.
A national treasure.
For those who were listening, who were international listeners, John Challis played Boise and Belgrade, it was called. Boise and Belgrade. That was his documentary. I forgot about that. A national treasure. For those who were listening,
who were international listeners,
John Chalice played Boise,
a big character in Only Fools and Horses,
which is Pete's favourite sitcom.
Yeah.
He passed away after a short illness.
David Jason is trending.
Oh, it's about Boise.
Good, good, good.
You're worried about David Jason, aren't you?
A little bit.
I mean, to be fair,
he said he loved stuff on the telly recently.
He had that appearance had that very strange man
he had that appearance
on the one show
which was
a shame
let's go
it went badly
it went really bad
yeah never mind
the perils of live TV
the perils of any kind
of promotional tour
I would say
when you're David Jason
the best ever
one show
is Mel Brooks
isn't it
what happened
oh he's just confused he didn't know what the hell he's like you realise this is the most insane TV show I've ever seen is Mel Brooks isn't it? What happened? Oh he's just confused
he didn't know
what the hell
He's like
you realise
this is the most
insane TV show
I've ever seen
It is though
isn't it?
I hadn't watched it
I did the
one one show
one one show
with
The one show
show
The one show
I don't know
how to say it
Mark will hate me
for that
but Mark
he does the
WrestleMania podcast
he's involved in that
and they basically
just review
the one show
every night
and I'd never
watched a full episode of the one show every night and I'd never watched
a full episode
of the one show
fucking mental
up and down
and left and right
and Jesus
it'll go from
the history of the letter K
yeah
to
people killed by the Nazis
and then
we'll end on
something about
My Little Pony
yeah
very bizarre
I don't know how
they get away with it
if I was a producer
of that show,
I'd just do the biggest
juxtaposition you can imagine.
Massive pace change.
I'd do Giles Brandreth
doing organic gardening
and then I would have
Napalm Death
to play us out.
But Giles Brandreth
would be dancing around
to Napalm Death.
He'd have to.
Yeah, he'd have to.
If he wants his fee,
he's doing it.
But I think more subversive
bands like Napalm Death,
they'd probably do it.
I'll fucking do that.
I'd go on The One Show.
Wouldn't you love to see them on The One Show?
Yeah, some of their songs are only a few seconds long.
Yeah, exactly.
Perfect.
The Pioneer's a grindcore.
Of course I'm going to have them on The One Show.
It's long overdue.
Absolutely long overdue.
Right, battery, quickly.
Battery, quickly.
Got a couple here.
Yeah.
Tom Beck.
Hello to you, Tom. He's sent in. Tom Beck. Hello to you, Tom.
He sent in some jar battery.
Jar!
Like jar rule.
Just J-A exclamation mark.
Yeah.
What do you reckon to that?
I don't think it is a new player, you know.
I'm going to slide into the email box and type jar.
I don't think I've seen a Jar battery before.
The problem is
a lot of them,
there's a lot of chat
about Jar rule
in the email box.
It's quite hard.
Jar, Jar, Jar.
We're good.
I think we're good.
I think we are good.
So Tom,
you will remember Tom
most recently we heard
from him when he
talked about his
grandfather who's now
passed on,
God rest him,
searching for porn
on WhatsApp.
He's also mucked in with a couple of batteries.
I'm going to give him a new player.
Yeah, no, fair.
That's absolutely fine, Tom Beck.
Well done, mate.
It's what your granddad would have wanted, Tom.
Yeah.
Chris Arch, finally for now,
Chris Arch has got in touch with a set of three Circles batteries.
They sent us a picture as well, did our Chris Arch,
and I believe it's a new player.
Great.
Congratulations.
Two from two.
What a week.
Well done. Congratulations to everyone and all who sailed in you. Chris Arch and I believe it's a new player great congratulations two from two what a week well done
congratulations to everyone
and all who sailed in you
please do send your
battery brands in
you can do it on
Twitter
at Luke and Pete show
you can do it on email
hello at Luke and Pete show
dot com
that's the end of the
battery section Pete
let's hand over to my pal
who's just charged up
as they come
to do an email
I am ready to go
redacted.
Here, fellas.
Shit.
Oh, no.
It's not what I wanted.
Why is it one of those?
Why do they do that?
Why?
I mean, it's just...
Redacted.
Anyone.
It could be anyone.
Don't say it again.
I'll have to bleep that one as well.
Okay.
It's just Jeff.
Jeff.
It's just Jeff.
Long-time listener.
First time emailer,
although I've emailed
the Ramble a few times
if you want to cross
cross pollinate that one.
On the subject of
finding your parents'
porn stash,
let me bring this story
arc to a seedy conclusion.
Oh, we won't be stopping.
You don't conclude
our feature, Sunshine.
We'll conclude it
once we've seen
the filthiest.
Yeah.
When I was about 16,
I attended the local college
to study a useless law course. When I was there,, I attended the local college to study a useless law course.
When I was there, I met a couple of lads who became quite good mates.
One of the boys lived 30 seconds down the road from the college,
so obviously we spent every lunch break and free period playing FIFA and smoking things we shouldn't have been smoking.
What, like...
Kippers.
Tea bags.
Tea bags.
And wood.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, you should remember.
Showing off.
Jeff.
Jeff.
One afternoon, I reminded the guy whose house it was
not to forget the assignment we needed to hand in
when we went back.
Very diligent of you, Max.
Even when you're speeding on the needle,
bliss, blazed 420 out your head.
Who wants a 24 smoking opium with Jack?
Exactly.
Not having a printer,
I decided to put the assignment on a USB drive
to then print later at college.
Oh, I can see where this is going.
He found an innocent-looking USB in the desk under the computer
and after putting it into the computer,
we were confronted with a folder full of photos
of what I can describe as his parents
having a jolly old time at a swingers party.
I always assumed you wouldn't be able to take pictures
at a swingers party.
Why do you need to take pictures?
Stay, get in the moment, guys.
Download it.
Download it now with your own eyes and ears.
Put your computer, maybe you've got stuff in your eyes.
I hope someone didn't get pulled in there, will he?
Needless to say, I've never seen a person remove a USB from a computer faster in my life.
I haven't spoken to my friend from college in many years,
and I assume it's the same for him and his parents.
Listen, let's just say his him and his parents. Listen,
let's just say his dad
put his USB
in his mum's computer
and someone else's mum's.
Someone else's mum's.
Yeah.
Viruses all over the place.
Swingers are all around us,
I'm telling you.
They are.
I know a person
who was a...
They walk among us.
That's what that podcast
series is about.
Oh, right.
They walk among us.
It's about swingers.
Well,
they,
I think a guy I used to work with,
I think he was the product of a swinging party,
I want to say.
That sounds like a story you would tell to be popular.
Really?
What, I was the product of a swinging party?
It just seems a bit weird.
I mean, in what capacity?
What do you mean?
How does he even know his dad is then?
Well, exactly.
I mean, I guess that's the issue.
And who told him that?
Again, I don't that again I don't know
I don't know
I don't imagine
for one second
the majority of swingers
that go on
Superb in England
aren't wearing protection
for example
for example
okay yeah
look I don't know
but
redacted
erm
no
Jeff
Jeff
Jeff
call him Jeff
his mates call him Jeff
I wouldn't care
he's Jeff's mate.
Friend of a friend.
You haven't seen the guy from college for years.
Jesus.
Jeff.
Yeah, and we've only got a first name.
Yeah.
And we haven't said what part of England it is.
Yeah, I think you're going to be safe.
If we tell that story, name or no name,
that person whose mum and dad are getting down
to Clowntown with other people.
Clowntown?
I don't know.
No one calls it that.
No.
It's, you know, they'll know who they are.
Have you ever said to a potential sexual partner,
do you want to get down to Clown Town?
Clown Town.
But it's just confusing.
Right.
Brown Town.
Sex Town.
Sex Town.
Population you and me, baby.
This is the conversation.
Do you want to get down to Clowntown?
Do you want to have sex with me?
Oh my goodness me.
Oh dear, right.
There was a story doing the rounds where I grew up.
I wasn't actually there, but our friend and colleague JT was.
And he always maintains that they went back to a mate's house
after the pub or whatever
and someone found a DVD
and put it on
and it was a home video
of the kid's dad
shaving his own pubes
on camera.
Why does that need
to be committed
to a DVD ROM?
What's the angle?
A DVD RAM?
What's the angle?
I don't know.
I mean,
a lot of like rewritable DVDs are kind of, you the angle? A DVD-RAM. What's the angle? I don't know. I mean, a lot of like
rewritable DVDs
are kind of,
you can't play them
in most DVD players.
If it's a data disc.
It needs to be
a multi-region,
doesn't it?
It needs to have
the catalogue
that allows it to be played
on a DVD disc.
I'm just saying
he's limiting his audience
by putting on a DVD.
Maybe that's what he wanted.
Exactly.
For specialist audiences only.
So when you get those guys
like him,
those British porn stars
like Ben Dover
and they're making DVDs
and they're basically
printing them themselves
and sending them out.
Right.
They have to have
their own proper gear.
Well, not necessarily,
but I'm just,
I'm just questioning
who wants to watch
a man shave his own pubes?
It's very niche. It's probably for him, isn't it? It's probably just for him. Is it? What, just to watch him watch it back own pubes? It's very niche, isn't it?
It's probably for him, isn't it?
Isn't it?
Just to watch him
watch it back.
Which is technique for next time.
That way he's only
got to do it once.
Isn't it?
Yeah, I don't know.
I wasn't there.
I just don't know.
Fair news.
Shall we wrap up
with a quick one
before we chip off from Kevin?
Yeah.
Alright.
Diametric system users
Luke and Pete
seeing as how
British Prime Minister
Boris the Biker Johnson
is that, isn't it?
What's the biker?
I don't know what that means.
Okay.
Has announced plans to reassess Britain's usage
of the EU-mandated metric system
as part of new Brexit liberties.
I, for one, wish to extend you a premature welcome
to the imperial measurement system.
Despite being born and raised in the United States,
I have still yet to understand just how much a quart is,
how many ounces are in a pound,
and how many apostrophes
is appropriate to put
between the foot and inches
when measuring height.
On behalf of the United States,
Liberia, and Myanmar,
I wish you the best of luck
in exercising your newfound
Brexit rights.
Also, I'm sorry,
I only email him
when I've smoked a lot of weed,
so apologies for the shit quality.
That's from Kevin.
There he is,
smoking all the things
he shouldn't be smoking
I remember
I was talking about this
the other weekend
I remember
the metric system
coming in
in Hartlepool
now the metric system
I'm fairly certain
came in
79
were you waiting on Paul
how can you remember it
because it was fucking late
in Hartlepool
Brett's
the sweet shop
I was buying quarters
same
I was buying quarters
up to about
8 years old I was buying quarters up to cracking off for the 90s then suddenly I think I was buying quarters same I was buying quarters up to about 8 years old
I was buying quarters
up to cracking on for the 90s
then suddenly
I think I was
bang 100 grams
they realised we could make them on money
I think I was exactly the same
we used to ask for a quarter of a sweet
for a time
a quarter of a sweet yeah
how old do we sound
it's brilliant
yeah it's
quarter of midget gems
quarter of a toast of tea cakes please
yes
in America I find it weird
because they take it
to the absolute extreme
right
so like it's not just your pounds and your ounces which I can kind of get around please. Yes. In America, I find it weird because they take it to the absolute extreme. Right. So like,
it's not just
your pounds and your ounces,
which I can kind of get around.
It's the hundred pounds.
It's the body weight in pounds.
I can't get my head around.
I can't get my head around.
If they do a recipe,
it's in cups
and quarts.
Yes, quarts, yeah.
If you do buy a drink,
it's in ounces and gallons
and stuff.
Yeah.
It's silly, isn't it?
It's just silly, isn't it?
But we have a weird combination here because we have, we have, we say stones. Stones and gallons and stuff. Yeah. It's silly, isn't it? It's just silly, isn't it? But we have a weird combination here,
because we have...
Yes.
We have, we say stones.
Stones, feet and inches, yeah.
Feet and inches, but we also...
And we have miles on the signs.
Yes, okay, yeah.
But then we do other shit.
It's mad, isn't it?
Like, we're a halfway house.
But we never...
Did we really lose it?
That's Britain all over, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, we kind of want some of it,
and we want some of the best bits,
and we don't have to fucking pay for it, and we also quite like America, even though they think isn't it? Yeah. Oh, we kind of want some of it. And we want some of the best bits. We don't have to fucking pay for it.
And we also quite like America,
even though they think we're pathetic.
Yeah.
It's a special relationship.
A one-way relationship.
Like, the special relationships
between the UK and the US
is the UK calling up,
saying, have we still got
the special relationship?
And the US going,
can we still say we've got
the special relationship?
Yeah.
New number, who this?
You know, pathetic.
So I think Kevin,
even though he is absolutely caned.
On quarters. Yeah. Yeah. Well, when people used to buy weed, you know pathetic so I think Kevin even though he is absolutely caned on quarters yeah
yeah
well when people
used to buy weed
it used to be in it
quarters yeah
yeah
good
Henry
good old
get an Henry
get an Henry
what's that
an eighth
Henry the 8th
you must know that
no I don't know that
and a 10th
for a 16th
I'm not a weed guy
you can talk about this
because American people
it's mostly
decriminalising America
that's legal now
it's fine there's nothing wrong with it there's legal now. It's fine. There's nothing
wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with it.
Smoke weed every day!
We've got the CBD
oil
coming in. Surely at some point we'll have that
THC thing. I had a meeting once with a
guy who was telling me all about CBD
and how I should be getting involved.
I was just so confused.
I had some really expensive stuff
because we got sent some free.
And when we went to New York,
we were sponsored by some CBD company.
And I went to the office
and a woman gave me a bottle of CBD.
Emily?
I don't know.
Somebody from Acast.
No, somebody from Acast.
Not our manager.
Not our tour manager.
She's got a good penalty on her, Emily.
That's completely by the by.
She's a great sportsman.
She's obviously brilliant at sports.
But anyway, I got to give her some CBD.
And then I ran out and then I got some more.
And it was like really strong.
And I was having weird dreams.
Because apparently they separate out the psychoactive ingredient.
Yes, the THC.
It doesn't have THC in it.
But in America, you can have it with THC.
In Japan, I'm fairly certain,
we try to buy some vape juice from a friend.
It doesn't have any nicotine in it.
What's the point of that?
It has nothing.
What is the point of that?
Yeah.
I'm sure I saw a couple of years ago
there was a vaping convention at Birmingham NEC.
Yeah, I had tickets for one.
What do they do there?
In London Arena, I think it was. What do they do there?
I know a guy who
used to work for a
big Barcelona fan, used to work in Los Angeles
I believe, and he
had one of those start-up
little mum and pop, VIP, juice
places, and he made
money hand over fist at that thing.
No, I get that, and I'm not trying
to diminish it or say it's not legitimate. What I'm not I'm not trying I'm not trying to diminish it or not say it's not legitimate
what I'm saying is
if you go all the way
to a weekend long convention
about vaping
what do you actually do there
I think it's a little bit
like a beer festival
you just buy different ones
that you've never had before
you sample them
it's like company to company
kind of chat
and also humorously
the only place you're allowed
to smoke
is in these weird little
kind of like see-through cubes.
So it's just fucking smoke.
And also people do tricks.
Oh, really?
They do little vip tricks.
Well, that's the thing, is it?
Like fire poi or something?
Yeah, like blowing circles.
It's like cigar tricks and stuff, isn't it?
I've never seen that before.
I might look that up.
I'm going to
look that up
when we finish
because we're
about to finish
now
we'll be back
on Monday

this
thank you very
much for listening
