Starting point is 00:00:00 yo it's sweet beans time baby sweet beans baby luke what's cooler than being cool um doing your coat up when you go shorts off yeah and also um finding a picture of a convicted problem person who looks just like one of your friends. Yeah. Or wearing trainers that everyone thinks are golf shoes, but they're not because you don't even play golf. That's pretty cool. Is that golf? Are those the kind of golf-looking shoes?
Starting point is 00:00:36 No, really. They don't play golf. They've got some epic tread in them. What do you think? Thank you very much. You would get caught doing crimes very easily. I always pay the extra for extra tread. Extra tread, please.
Starting point is 00:00:45 What else is cooler than being cool? I mean, I think just jamming pencils through the holes in your shoes that you've got there. Imagine other people seeing you doing that on the tube. They'll be like, that guy's pretty fucking cool, actually.
Starting point is 00:00:57 That guy could draw on me if I'm not careful. I'm going to step well back. If I saw that, I would be running to the office to try and tell people as soon as possible that I saw someone doing that. The tube.
Starting point is 00:01:09 I think... You know what else is quite cool? What? Sorry to cut in. When you're in the kitchen making yourself a cup of tea and you've got the mug there and it's empty and you've got a teabag in your hand and no one's around, you've got nothing going on
Starting point is 00:01:20 and you take a few steps back and just throw it in to the mug. What, from... From the mug. What from? From a distance. What a dry tea bag? Yeah before you put the water in. That's really difficult because it kind of
Starting point is 00:01:30 fliff fluff around because it's thin and light. What happens when you get it right baby? When you get it right you have a lovely time.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Let me do a whole sketch on that. Maybe. Do you have, is that pocket full of sweet beans or are you just pleased to see me?
Starting point is 00:01:42 It's in my pocket. It's a medical mask. I started working at Holby. Anyway. Anyway. It's a little bit of a pizza show. Luke, I think I may have seen Marcus Rashford on my train. Yeah, so this has come up.
Starting point is 00:01:57 You mentioned this this morning. I treated this news the same way I would... Treat an infirm elderly person that's nice that sounds really great that's nice dear yeah
Starting point is 00:02:10 we'll definitely do that next week but you are convinced for some reason Manchester based Marcus Rashford yep they are playing Norwich
Starting point is 00:02:18 this weekend yeah also not where you are yeah so yeah that's the list of places that he shouldn't really be why do you think I mean the only if I'm being overly not where you are. That's the list of places that he shouldn't really be. Why do you think, I mean,
Starting point is 00:02:30 if I'm being overly generous to you, you're getting the train into London from out east. It's a Friday morning at the time it happened. Is he doing... It's the Stratford to kind of South West London line.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Oh, so you're actually in town. Overground, yeah. So he could have been doing some kind of promotional thing and because he's a're actually in town so he could have been doing some kind of promotional thing and because he's a man of the people he decided to take the overground
Starting point is 00:02:49 the only thing that makes me think it's not Marcus Rashford is that in the pictures I've seen like four days ago he's got bleached blonde hair
Starting point is 00:02:59 or he's got frosted kind of blonde tips sort of thing but if I see him play against Norwich this weekend and he's got like non-bleached hair sort of thing. But if I see him play against Norwich this weekend and he's got like non-bleached hair,
Starting point is 00:03:08 I'm going to be like, I saw Marcus Rashford on the train. Did you speak to him? No, but I thought, because you presume that footballers are much bigger and much taller than you. He's only five foot nine. So this guy was only like maybe an inch or two higher than me. And I was like, it can't be Marcus Rashford.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I imagine Marcus Rashford is massive. If someone said to you in that situation, you have to go and speak to him before the next stop or I'll kill your entire family. It's like a Liam Neeson type of situation. Yeah, it's quite a niche situation. It would be surprising.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Confusing criminal. It would come from nowhere. I agree. What would your opening line to him be? And be serious now. Don't say something stupid. What would you actually say? Hi,? And be serious now. Don't say something stupid. What would you actually say? Hi, Marcus.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I enjoyed the things you did with the kids. That sounds bad. That does sound bad. That sounds accusatory. That does sound accusatory. Yeah. Yeah, not great. But he'll know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Because I think me and Marcus, we're kindred spirits. We work hard for the kids i'm i'm fixing up computers true i'm putting together for a kid i'm putting together computer and marcus rashford is literally saving the lives of children yeah if if you um if you would open with that line i think he would have been like uh one of this like one of these like this is why i don't take the train. I saw something as interesting on the train in this morning.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah. And that was a poster in the tube station for monster trucks at the O2, baby. Oh, lovely old job. Yeah. Monster trucks are back in a big way.
Starting point is 00:04:39 We talked about it earlier this year. I'll tell you something now. Growing up in the 80s, in my mind, memory can be a the 80s, in my mind, memory can be a tricky thing, but in my mind, you couldn't walk down the street without
Starting point is 00:04:49 seeing a monster truck. Or without seeing a kid with a monster truck, like a little kind of No, I mean a real size one. Going over all the parked cars on your street. And now they're nowhere,
Starting point is 00:04:58 but it looks like they might be making a bit of a comeback. Nunchucks. Ian Brown's got nunchucks and we've got monster trucks back, so it's very much
Starting point is 00:05:05 a return to form. If someone offered you a free ticket, would you go? Er, I mean, offers like that are always like,
Starting point is 00:05:12 if it's close to me, I'll go. But travelling all the way into Greenwich. What's your cut off? What's your mileage cut off? 10 miles. What about transport links?
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah, transport links. 20 minutes on the train and I'll do it. You're still in that phase of driving where you really like to drive everywhere for no reason though, aren't you? Yeah, yeah. about transport links. 20 minutes on the train and I'll do it. You're still in that phase of driving where you really like to drive everywhere for no reason though, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yeah, yeah. Like the other day when you tried to give me a lift down to Upper Street, which is like a five minute walk and there's nowhere to park. And I said, why are you driving there? But I wouldn't need to park. I just opened the...
Starting point is 00:05:35 How long does it take for you to get out of the car? I mean, you were going to a shop to buy some magic marbles. That's good. Jack, Jack mate. Yeah. Jack mate's happy. Lost his marbles, literally.
Starting point is 00:05:43 He literally lost his marbles. Yeah. Or Charlie threw them away. And so he's got this marble thing where he's got 100 marbles. Yeah, I've heard the show, Pete. Why don't we do it? Why don't we do it? But you drove down there, but you had nowhere to park,
Starting point is 00:05:55 so I want to know what you did with the car, because this sounds like a Chuckle Brothers type escapade. I just park. I found out, right, that my partner is unbelievably obsessed with parking. She gets very frustrated. As soon as we're going somewhere, it's the first thing she thinks is, where are we going to park? Does she drive?
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yeah, yeah, no, she's an excellent driver. But she's always worrying about the parking. I'm like, they'll be parking somewhere. And you look into my eyes and you go, I'm on her side. And I'm kind of on her side as well. I just think she knows how little i care about the parking uh and that makes her more worried about the parking a little bit i think that cuts to the very core of to the two different types of people live in the world
Starting point is 00:06:34 yeah some people are going to think about the parking i'm one of those people some people are like i'm not the wind baby i'll go wherever i'll just park wherever yeah and you're one of them well you think it's fucking woodstock. It's not Woodstock. It's fucking Leon C. It's a monster truck rally. So I took Mark Haines from, so I had to drive to go buy some marbles for Jack Shaw because we'd thrown the other ones away.
Starting point is 00:06:55 And it turns out you can park pretty much everywhere if you think you can get away with it. Yeah. It's whether you get caught or not. It's whether you get caught or not. So you start to go, right, so there's a parking bay there that's only for like
Starting point is 00:07:06 you need to call this number to park and I'm like right well there's no cameras around I'm chipping off for five minutes I'm just going to run in this toy shop yeah
Starting point is 00:07:14 run back and I've with me marbles and a big bag like I've robbed a bank yeah and I was straight in there and then I'm off
Starting point is 00:07:21 did you underestimate exactly how many rules would be associated with parking in different places before you could drive? It's amazing. Yeah. It's just like every
Starting point is 00:07:28 fucking beer has got a different app and a different thing and a different phone call you've got to make. Or sometimes they'll just say no parking for 20 minutes between
Starting point is 00:07:36 10 and 4, Monday to Friday. It's like, this is a fucking effort to read this. And there's some roads near where I live where because there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:07:43 schools around and stuff so you can't do any parking between a lot of schools around and stuff, so you can't do any parking between two and three and one and, sorry, eight and nine, where the mums and dads are dropping them off in their big fucking Range Rovers, dropping the kids off. You can't park on certain roads. But then when those restrictions are relaxed, no one still parks there because they think it's too naughty.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And I'm looking at the signs going, I can park here. You're thinking I'm going to buy extra cars just to park here. And I'm the only car on the road. Love that. I actually love that. That's great. Because people have just gone and went, nah, this looks wrong. And I'm going, no, look at the signs. It's fine. Because I don't worry about the parking. You have almost certainly
Starting point is 00:08:20 misread the signs. Pete, do you know what? Not got a ticket yet, maybe. I've seen what some districts do near me. And actually, as boring as this sounds, while we're on the subject, it's actually free to park where I live, which is great because it's less hassle,
Starting point is 00:08:33 but it can be difficult because people drive to where I live, park on my street, and then get into town. Get into town, yeah. And so sometimes there's nowhere to park. Anyway, that's boring. What is slightly less boring is some of the... That's what we aim for.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Some of the posher streets near where I live, just check what they do. They just say this. They say no parking between 12.30 and 1pm Monday to Friday. Do you know why I do that? Because... Then people, no shit, there's a half hour I can't park. I can't park and they want to leave all day.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Yes, so they can't start parking. That's clever, isn't it? Yes. So it's technically free, but it's just that little half an hour. It's the actions of a really petty person. They could just say parking for residents only. That's it. Everyone knows where they stand.
Starting point is 00:09:17 No, no. Half an hour in the middle. We want to be in your mind. We want to plant that seed. We don't want to stop you parking. I'm not going to get away with it. You think at first glance we want to stop you parking. No, no, no. It's not that. We want to plant that seed. We don't want to stop you parking. I'm not going to get away with it. You think at first glance we want to stop you parking.
Starting point is 00:09:27 No, no, no. It's not that. We want to fuck you up. We want to fuck with your head. We want proper anxiety. We want you to have to have 20 minutes to travel back to your car,
Starting point is 00:09:34 drive around for half an hour and then drop it where it was and then go back again. The Sonic Borough Councillor said, no, no, no. We don't want you to get that deal done because in the back of your mind
Starting point is 00:09:41 you're worried about the parking. Somebody has to... So some round streets um it's impossible to park because everyone's got fucking 15 cars and they're all massive cars and they're ridiculous um but uh a lot of people just have these weird little kooky signs they've they've made up like yeah yeah quoting the uh magna carta kind of stuff going don't buy the order of the yeoman of 1850 you may not park your wagon. Isn't it bullshit? I'm parking there,
Starting point is 00:10:07 you idiot. I wasn't going to park there, but I am now. Because we both know that's bullshit. Yeah. There's a guy near me who puts,
Starting point is 00:10:14 he's got a sign, a homemade one on his garage, which opens out onto the street that says, and there's no, I mean, there's no drop curb or anything. Actually,
Starting point is 00:10:21 no, I think there is a drop curb, but there's no kind of restriction. And he's got, he's just put a sign on his garage saying, do not park in front of this garage. Access is required 24 hours a day. It's not.
Starting point is 00:10:31 It's not though, is it? He's an accountant. He works as an accountant, nine to five. He doesn't drive into the office anyway. He lives on his own. Yeah. He doesn't need to do that.
Starting point is 00:10:40 But he could. He's just done it because he wants to show off that he's got a garage and we haven't. I told you about that car crash down my street, didn't I? Yeah, wild.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Any further action on that? He's got sent down, baby. Got sent down. For boozing. Yeah, driving while disqualified, boozing, all sorts. Driving while disqualified. I mean, I guess there's probably
Starting point is 00:10:58 a kind of legal precedent sort of going, right, you're pissed, so you're coming down the station, you go, ah, but I'm not even qualified to drive. sort of going, right, you're pissed, so you're coming down the stairs and you go, ah, but I'm not even qualified to drive. And you go,
Starting point is 00:11:08 oh, double jeopardy. This driving didn't happen. Don't be thinking, driving me? What? No, I'm not qualified to do that.
Starting point is 00:11:16 How can I do that when I'm disqualified? Luke, in the 90s, WCW got in bed with, I think Ford or maybe some kind of,
Starting point is 00:11:25 basically one monster truck company, basically. Yes. Who puts together the monster truck. What was the big one called? The big monster truck? The one they ever loved? Truckasaurus, I don't know. Nah, you carry on.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I'm going to find out. Well, they got together with WCW and they did like wrestlers monster trucks. And this is the result of the Hulk Hogan thing. I heard the words but I can't program them in my mind. So they'd have at the monster truck meet, they'd have loads of cars and different wrestlers would be, you know, they'd
Starting point is 00:11:55 design a car around a wrestling kind of stuff. So basically what you're showing me here is a picture of a monster truck with Hulk Hogan's arms. But it looks like Gortzy, doesn't it? It looks like he's pulling his bum apart a little bit. Bigfoot was the big one. Bigfoot. Remember?
Starting point is 00:12:08 Kind of. Was that the one that got to our aisles? Yeah, I think he was the one who was famous in the 80s. But I typed in monster truck names into Google. You know Google does those suggested questions now? Right. And the suggested question,
Starting point is 00:12:21 obviously some 10-year-old somewhere's written, is what is the coolest monster truck? And the answer isfoot is bigfoot yeah i like the uh i mean look at that one it looks like um that's gone too far a despicable me it's like a minion it's gone too far there the wheels are too big yeah i think do you think that life was simpler back when people gave a shit about monster trucks there'll be a kid down your street who would say that his dad had a monster truck, but you couldn't see it or whatever. But I mean, the height of the... I mean, we're looking at monster trucks here from a time where it was over here.
Starting point is 00:12:52 It was at the height of the Minus Strike and stuff. Like, it was a terrible time for a lot of people. But then... Is that an anagram of monster truck? We had monster truck to Omicron. Minus Strike. Omicron is an anagram of cancel Christmas monster trucks. Did someone say
Starting point is 00:13:06 that Omicron B is an anagram of something no Crimbo. No Crimbo. But the thing about that is it's not because Crimbo
Starting point is 00:13:15 is spelt with an H anyway. Right. And that's not involved. And secondly, you've added a letter to suit it. No one's calling it Omicron B.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Anyone could do an anagram if you just get to choose the letters you want. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Cancel Crimbo. Yeah. Cancel Crimbo. If you and I, if the law came down now,
Starting point is 00:13:36 and said, I don't know what I meant by that. If we were the head of the World Health Organisation, No, no, no, no, no, no, no. If the head of who came down here, it should be called who, no, no. If the head of WHO came down here, it should be called WHO. Yeah, head of WHO. Head of WHO came down here.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Who hears a who? Yeah, Horton hears a who, and said, you guys need to lock down now. Like, it's proper bad. Right. It's mutated, and if you get it, it's bad news for everyone, so you've just got to stay here.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Right. And whatever you're going to do for Christmas, you've got to do it here, right now, in this office and studio until New Year. Right. It's just me and you. I mean,
Starting point is 00:14:08 producer Rory would be involved as well. Yeah. How would you deal with that Christmas with me just here with nothing? I mean, we'd have to raid the cafe, wouldn't we?
Starting point is 00:14:16 Get a bit walking dead, wouldn't we? Well, could we, were we allowed to deliver who? Cafe, cafe would be fine. The cafe would be fine.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Well, in fact, there's so many food in there. Loads of fridge presumably. So over three weeks we'll have two meals. Two square meals.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I'm thinking straight away let's just record as many shows as we can and get ahead of it. Oh what do like five million shows? Years of shows.
Starting point is 00:14:34 That's done. Yeah that's in the bag. It's like waste time. I can't sit around doing nothing. Yeah we can't look we can't have like the
Starting point is 00:14:39 two premier podcasters in the UK like just sitting around not creating content no exactly that's what I was born to do baby Craig David we emit it like spores
Starting point is 00:14:49 yeah would you be alright in a kind of zombie apocalypse style situation I know we've had this conversation years ago but I mean this is kind of it's a little bit more
Starting point is 00:14:56 close to home now now people have had to lock down in a monster truck I'd be fine fucking now you're talking just absolutely mowing down a load of zombies
Starting point is 00:15:02 you'd be able to drive the monster truck because you'd be so high you'd be ice wet and everyone would. Yeah, they'd never get up there. That's got emotional thinking about it. Do you remember, we did the Christmas show last year
Starting point is 00:15:12 and someone asked me about Gun Wharf and at the same time, Gun Wharf Key is important. Yeah. And I got a frog in my throat because I'm spoken for a wee while and it sounded like I was being really emotional about Gun Wharf.
Starting point is 00:15:20 That has followed me. You know the things that you least expect? That's followed me around for ages. Sometimes twink they be about that now and it was like a year ago anyway before we um go crazy completely crazy on monster trucks and i start to ask you questions about how they get the fuel in and how much they get the fuel in what do you mean well you can't just reach up and put the fucking pump in it's about like a 10 foot high oh you think the block gets in then what do you you think they do? Like fucking refuel from the air? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:15:46 Climbs a ladder. Climbs a ladder? Yeah. Can I introduce you to your friend and mine, a ladder. They must go through some fuel though. Uh, or would they? Because the big wheels, probably quite efficient. Is that how it works?
Starting point is 00:16:01 I don't know. It's heavier, isn't it? It's going to take more fuel to pump. Why would it be heavier? Have you seen a fucking monster truck? Yeah, but that's just the rim's heavier, isn't it? Why would it be heavier? Have you seen a fucking monster truck? Yeah, but that's just the rims, though, isn't it? It's made of paper. Yeah, but all it is is a frame,
Starting point is 00:16:12 and then on top, the metal stuff, and then bloody a roll cage. It's just a roll cage. There's none of the modern accoutrements. There's no safety mechanisms. There's no kind of... What's the exploding thing that explodes in your face? Airbag. Airbag. There's no safety mechanisms. There's no kind of, what's the exploding thing that explodes in your face?
Starting point is 00:16:27 Airbag. Airbag. There's no airbags. There's no radio. There's no... They've probably got a radio in them. You reckon? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I'd have a radio in there. That's not taking up too much room. Would you love to drive one over all those normal cars? Oh, yeah. Someone said to you now, come to the monster truck thing at the O2, but you can come early
Starting point is 00:16:41 and you can do it. They're probably automatic as well. Oh, yeah. It'd be easy to drive. Oh, yeah. You're not licensed easy to drive. Oh yeah, you're not licensed to drive a manual. No, we're not licensed to drive a manual. But if no one can see what I'm doing up there, it's absolutely fine. Yeah, has he got the clutch in?
Starting point is 00:16:53 There is no clutch. Anyway, let's have a break. When we come back, Peter, because we're going to go crazy to want monster trucks forever. When we come back, we're going to do some emails. We've got some good ones,
Starting point is 00:17:03 including emails from Mr. Adam, Mr. Elliot, and Mr. Connor. Mr. Toad. We'll get to as many of them as we can. Cool. Thank you very much for emailing in. Stick around, because after the break, we're going to get to as many as possible. So we'll be back in a minute. It's the Luke and Pete show.
Starting point is 00:17:20 My name's Pete Donaldson. Luke, do you want a quick message from Danny Donaldson, Stuart Donaldson? Of course. How much do you reckon Slade message from Daddy Donaldson, Stuart Donaldson? Of course. How much do you reckon Slade make in royalties over Christmas? Loads. And I said, probably a lot more than they do the rest of the year. And my dad replied, I seem to remember someone saying it was thousands a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I'm sick to death of hearing that pile of shite every time we celebrate the birth of our Lord. Thousands? I think it'd be tens of thousands, wouldn't it? According to this website I've literally just looked at, Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade. Slade are estimated to take home as much as half a million pounds each year alone for their 1973 hit single,
Starting point is 00:17:56 Merry Christmas Everybody. I mean, that's not streaming. I guess that's not people buying it. It's people licensing the music, I suppose. Yeah. Every time, yeah. Good question. It's got to be all that, hasn't it, rather than streaming. It's a top ten it, it's people licensing the music, I suppose. Yeah. Every time, yeah. Good question. It's got to be all that, hasn't it,
Starting point is 00:18:06 rather than streaming. It's a top ten here of Christmas songs, but I'm going to save that for a Christmas show we do later in the year. Okay, then. I'll leave it there. All right. But it's great to hear from Daddy Donaldson.
Starting point is 00:18:15 What else is going on? What, in Daddy Donaldson's world? Yeah. He sends me a lot of shit every morning. I just get loads of, where's the social distancing? And he sent me a video of a fight
Starting point is 00:18:25 in an airport I think I'll speak on behalf of everyone listening when I ask the burning question what's the JPEG
Starting point is 00:18:34 pixel quality like of the stuff he's sharing with you at the moment because that's something that annoys you more
Starting point is 00:18:40 than anything else I mean he's moved on to video quite a lot he doesn't do quite as many photoshops anymore 1080p no they're all really sort of crunched real meat than anything else? I mean, he's moved on to video quite a lot. He doesn't do quite as many Photoshop's anymore. 1080p?
Starting point is 00:18:46 1080? No, they're all really sort of crunched, real player level kind of quality MP4s that have been kind of crushed. Can you still find an MP4 out in the wild these days? MP4s, that's all we live on. Is that what they are? Everything's MP4, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Okay, interesting. Interesting, is it? No, I think it is. And if I was to get a JPEG that had been shared on WhatsApp, say it, sometimes it comes up forwarded many times. Right. You know what I mean? I think if you're forwarding,
Starting point is 00:19:13 WhatsApp will just use that instance to forward that on. I don't think that's necessary. What people are doing is taking a screenshot and then forwarding it on. My question was going to be, does it deteriorate every time? Not every time you forward, I would imagine, because it just forwards the data on. Though there's an argument to be said that WhatsApp do kind of crunch,
Starting point is 00:19:31 compress it a little bit. But yeah, I think it's for people who kind of just do screenshot forward, screenshot forward, screenshot forward. That's what ruins a good WhatsApp for me. Yeah. And how has WhatsApp affected the world of memes? Has it made them better? Because I send you some good memes these days.
Starting point is 00:19:47 It's ones that are like five years old. It's a bit... Oh, yeah, my dad was... Oh, yeah, no. That's something you talked about last week about Bernie Sanders and stuff. God, are we mining Stuart Donaldson's... Of course we are.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Stuart's a big part of the show. He's very welcome here. He turned down the opportunity to appear on the show. Fair enough. Up to him. Adam. Hello to you, Adam. He's very welcome here. He turned down the opportunity to appear on the show. Fair enough. Up to him. Adam, hello to you, Adam. He's been in touch. Hi, fellas. First time emailer.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Currently binge listening on our lap around Australia with the wife and dog I have access to. We didn't do that. Oh, they're doing that, right? What a merry jay. What a merry jay that is. Would you like to do a lap around Australia with your partner you've got access to
Starting point is 00:20:24 and the two dogs you've got access to? They'd need a haircut. They're very hairy dogs. Right. I mean, dogs are generally quite hairy, aren't they? No, for it. Famous for it. They just get too hot in Australia, I think.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I had to lint roll the entire duvet yesterday. Yeah. One of my cats, who sheds a lot. They go for phases, cats, if they want to have little spots where they want to sleep. And his was always a blanket
Starting point is 00:20:48 that we put on the bed and he would get on the blanket and sleep on that. To the point where if you didn't put it on there, he'd meow at you until you did it. And that was his thing.
Starting point is 00:20:57 He would go from the food bowl, Clever little chap. From the food bowl out to the garden for a bit in, meow, for the tap
Starting point is 00:21:04 to be turned on so he could drink out of that. Yeah. Meow for his blanket. All of a sudden, in, meow, for the tap to be turned on so he could drink out of that, meow for his blanket. All of a sudden, he decides he wants to sleep on the bed. Right. And it's been a disaster. I've had to lint roll the whole thing, so I feel your pain.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Do you have to lint roll? You're never covered in cat hair. Well, lint roll. You lint roll. How about you put, like, the big one, because Japanese houses, because of the space, they don't always have hoovers. Oh, well, why not?
Starting point is 00:21:25 They use these massive lint rollers around the house. That's interesting. Yeah, it's quite efficient. You know I lint roll because I sent you a picture of the box of lint rollers that we bought from a Chinese place which is called Stirol Lint Roller. And the tagline is, don't worry having more pets for the
Starting point is 00:21:41 falling hair. I love a little bit of my Japan-glish Chinese-English silliness. So you wouldn't want to take your dogs
Starting point is 00:21:50 that you've got access to around Australia because they get too hot. Too hot, too many snakes and Lola will fight anything.
Starting point is 00:21:56 How do they feel about the planes do you reckon? I don't think I've ever been on one to be honest. They wouldn't like 24 hours on a plane
Starting point is 00:22:02 would they? I don't think anyone would would they? Nah. Nah. But at least you know what a plane entails so you wouldn't be scared hours on a plane would they I don't think anyone would would they nah nah but at least you know what a plane entails so you wouldn't be
Starting point is 00:22:06 scared anyway Adam go back to Adam he says we listen to new episodes as soon as they're available as well as sporadically going through the
Starting point is 00:22:13 back catalogue and you've been a great source of entertainment blah blah have you got enough water guys have you got enough
Starting point is 00:22:19 provisions energy gels candy people don't need to drink water they don't need to drink water even in the outback don't people don't need to drink water. They don't need to drink water. Even in the outback?
Starting point is 00:22:26 Even in the outback. Don't drink water. You need to go for about three weeks. Crack open a cactus. Famously found in the outback. Yeah. Pretty sure it was an episode a few weeks ago that Pete acquired a cassette player
Starting point is 00:22:37 to find out what was on a mystery tape which turned out to be the best of the police. Yes. Or as the now known Sting, as Alan Parks would say. This brings me to a dilemma I have of a police interview cassette with my dad from the early 80s that was in a package of things
Starting point is 00:22:50 my mum had collected over the years, including my favourite school beanie, photos, and even a lock of my hair from when I was a baby. My sister's brother and I knew these packages were in the attic and opened them shortly after
Starting point is 00:23:02 my mum passed away two years ago. Sadly, my mum and dad split up when I was four and neither had nice things to say about each other after that. My mum would say, you'll find out one day what your dad was like and similar things like that after I would defend him. It's no secret that both had colourful pasts before I was on the scene and my mum was upset and heartbroken when my dad left. To this day, I thought I'd stumble across a tape player at some stage
Starting point is 00:23:25 and find out the contents of this police interview cassette tape that I found. My dad is still alive and well, remarried and living in Asia. My dilemma is to wait until he is no longer with us or to listen and not tell him or discuss it with him. After listening to Pete and his disappointment of the content of his mystery tape, I thought I'll be over the moon if the police interview tape was just my dad sat down interviewing
Starting point is 00:23:46 Sting. Unlikely, but stranger things have happened. What would you do, lads? Thanks again, Adam. So Adam's got a tape of his father being interviewed by the feds. But why would he have that? Did he give you the tape after you finished? A copy of it for evidence. That sounded great.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Can I get a copy of that? High speed dub me one off daddy-o because if you if you've got a lawyer with you say you're under suspicion or you've been charged
Starting point is 00:24:11 with something terrible you've got a lawyer with you the interview's tape recorded we all know why that has to happen do they then have to give you a copy of the tape for evidence reasons
Starting point is 00:24:19 yeah I mean presumably yeah I mean I guess that goes on the old record and you should be able to get your get your records out I suppose but it's yeah. I mean, I guess that goes on the old record and you should be able to get your records out, I suppose. But it's fascinating. I would very much like to hear that tape.
Starting point is 00:24:30 I think you should send it to us. I think you should send it to us. We don't have to play it out. Just play it to ourselves. Play it to ourselves. I have three tape players of varying degrees of awesomeness. Yeah. How so?
Starting point is 00:24:40 How so? New ones you've bought? Could they still make them? Were they old ones that you've refurbished? Old ones that I've bought recently. Does that make any sense? Yeah, off eBay and stuff. Oh, speaking of that,
Starting point is 00:24:49 I want to buy that Lego Home Alone house for my family for Christmas. Okay. Have you seen it? Lego, I know we put together a Ferrari and we put the Ghostbusters car together. Yeah, that was really good. Recently.
Starting point is 00:25:02 But the Mario sets look very complicated. Mate. And the Home Alone set looks even more. The fucking Ghostbusters one was impossible. Yeah, but there's too many moving parts and crazy stuff happening and stuff. Like Mario, you get Luigi's Mansion and stuff and it's all electrical.
Starting point is 00:25:16 God, wow, it's confusing. I had my niece, who's six, she stayed with us for the weekend. I thought we were going to do the Ghostbusters car. She loves Ghostbusters. About five minutes in she was like I'm not doing this
Starting point is 00:25:27 I'm not doing this I don't understand it but the Lego Home Alone house is I think I think I might have inadvertently stumbled across the must have Christmas thing
Starting point is 00:25:37 or something and they sell that on the Lego website you can't get it right but there's some of them on eBay now I'm going to sell it to the world's oldest man here so help me out
Starting point is 00:25:43 yeah a lot of people who seem to be real have it as a buy it now price of them on eBay. Now, I'm going to say I'm the world's oldest man here, so help me out. Yeah. A lot of people who seem to be real have it as a buy it now price with all the fucking shit and they're at a house in Glasgow or something
Starting point is 00:25:52 and they'll send it when you pay them. Yeah. Is that legit? Well, I mean, you'd look at, just click, they should have
Starting point is 00:25:57 their little username and next to it they'll have a number next to it and the number is how many successful purchases or sales they've done
Starting point is 00:26:04 and that's how reputable they are. And I believe if you pay through PayPal you can sort of do a payback and the number is how many successful purchases or sales they've done, and that's how reputable they are. And I believe if you pay through PayPal, you can sort of do a payback, a PayPal reverse if anything's all right. Maybe I should just do that. Yeah. Because it looks amazing. As long as they've got a good rating.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I mean, there's always exceptions to the rule. There's always ways of gaming the system if you're a bot or like an unscrupulous dealer. But yeah, I think you'd be all right. All right. I might do it. Adam, send in your tape. We'll listen to it.
Starting point is 00:26:27 We want to listen to the tape. Make a copy of it. Make a copy of it. Don't give us the original for crying out loud. Yeah. If you want to get to the show, as always,
Starting point is 00:26:34 it's very easy. Short and all. I knew you were going to do it, Ro. That's why I started to say hello. It's very easy. Hello. It's very easy. Very easy.

Starting point is 00:27:42 version of pizza? I laughed at him actually because he's a chef by trade so he probably would know about that. Get it in egg, cover it in syrup. Beautiful. I don't know about the syrup. Sweet mama's apple pie!
