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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
we'll definitely do that
next week
but you are convinced
for some reason
Manchester based
Marcus Rashford
yep
they are playing Norwich
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
a return to form.
If someone offered you
a free ticket,
would you go?
Er,
I mean,
offers like that
are always like,
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?
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?
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...
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.
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,
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
oh,
double jeopardy.
This driving didn't happen.
Don't be thinking,
driving me?
What?
No,
I'm not qualified to do that.
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,
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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
that Omicron B
is an anagram
of something
no Crimbo.
No Crimbo.
But the thing about that is
it's not
because Crimbo
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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,
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?
Airbag.
Airbag.
There's no airbags.
There's no radio.
There's no...
They've probably got a radio in them.
You reckon?
Yeah.
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
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?
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,
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
in an airport
I think I'll speak
on behalf of
everyone listening
when I ask the
burning question
what's the
JPEG
pixel quality
like of the
stuff he's sharing
with you at the
moment
because that's
something that
annoys you more
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
falling hair.
I love a little bit
of my Japan-glish
Chinese-English
silliness.
So you wouldn't
want to take
your dogs
that you've got
access to around
Australia because
they get too hot.
Too hot,
too many snakes
and Lola will
fight anything.
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
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
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
back catalogue
and you've been a
great source of
entertainment
blah blah
have you got enough
water guys
have you got enough
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
I can't remember.
Hello at lookingpeachshow.com.
Yeah, we'd love to hear from you.
We're going to be doing
some Christmas themed
stuff soon as well
so make sure you send
some Christmas stuff in
as I ask for
bad Christmas
bad presents
bad daddies
bad daddies in prison
do you consider yourself
to be a bad daddy in prison
I don't know
prison of your own mind
yeah
I'll probably talk about
this Kraken wrestling show
I watched
who was going to be
winning
who was going to be
the best daddy
the biggest daddy in the house I'll speak about that in the next show I watched who was going to be winning who was going to be the best daddy the biggest daddy in the house
I'll speak about that
in the next show
I'm a bigger daddy than you
what?
I'm a bigger daddy than you
what do you mean?
I'm just bigger
you're taller
broader
broader
I had a dream last night
I've got a big fat belly
you haven't got a big fat belly
at the moment
what's this?
what's that then?
what's this then?
yeah but yours is normal sized
for your frame.
Yeah, I think yours looks fine.
Two little lads with their bellies out.
Oh, LC told me that
he's been eating pizza for breakfast
since he was five years old.
Yes, please.
So he's in your camp
when it comes to pizza for breakfast.
Get in there.
Has he ever flirted
with the eggy French toast
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!
Sweet bean.
Sweet bean.
I was going to say something else to you as well, then.
I can't remember what it is.
Yeah, we're back on Thursday with more of this stuff.
We would very much love to hear from you.
As Pete said, hello at thecompeteshow.com.

free to email in

that Christmas love
baby
that sweet Christmas
love
and we will speak

Pete Donaldson
