It's Thursday, it's the Luke and Pete show, 28th of October, we are almost at Halloween.
Are you feeling spooky, Luke? Spooky-Lukey?
It'll be the 27th, mate, not the 20th.
Oh, OK, well, I didn't write 27th on the old running order.
Oh, actually, no, it won't.
It'll be the 28th.
Sorry, it's in the running order for the 28th.
OK, cool, yeah.
I mean, that's what I said.
Oh, I thought you said the 20th.
No, I said 28th, didn't I?
Oh, sorry, mate.
Sorry, I thought you said the 20th, which really confused me.
Lukey Moore trying to give me some curveballs.
You're worse than... I was going to say something terrible then. I'm not going to say some curveballs. You're worse than I was going to say
something terrible then.
I'm not going to say
that terrible thing.
You're worse than me.
I'm going to introduce
people to the
Luke and Pete show.
It's a chance to just
kick back and
you know talk to your
boys Luke and Pete
about anything.
Train enthusiasts,
roller coaster enthusiasts.
If you're enthusiastic
about something
even if it's
dad karate
we want to hear from you.
Hello to LukePitcher.com.
But, Lukey Moore, how are you?
I'm good.
The only type of karate I'm interested in is dad karate.
I think there should be a lot more dojos in suburban towns.
I think men should go there.
They should get subsidies to go there.
I think the government should give them tax breaks
for going there.
I think they should all be
given their own kimonos
and play with nunchucks together
that are the padded ones
so no one gets hurt.
And the world would be
a better place
if more dads did
some kind of kung fu
like they did in the 80s.
Look, I just think,
I completely agree.
I completely agree, Luke.
Because thinking about it,
we talk a lot about,
you know, mental ill health
and how, you know,
it's good to talk
and time to talk
and change and all that stuff.
But I think one kind of aspect
of that should be
provisions for dad karate.
Men of advancing years,
maybe they've had
a terrible few years at work
and they just want to do some karate give
these dads their dojos for crying out loud you know what you know what i'd ban from them as well
i'd ban any man who is uh under 50 yeah and i would ban any man who is in i'd have to get the
kind of the parameters in place and think about it a bit more but any man who's basically in too
good shape wouldn't be able to go yes exactly you've got they've got their spaces you've got you've got
the gyms for that yeah for your peacocking no we want men who are overweight getting into and and
and their their their their black belts will really be holding everything in to be quite frank
i mean it's it's it's you need that you get a badge it. And if you're balding, you get a badge. Yes, it reminds me of Daniel Pout's dad,
who was called Ken, and he was a karate master,
and we used to call him Ken Doe, and he looked hard.
He was a hard, mustachioed, spectacled man.
He looked a little too short for the military.
I don't think you'll get away with being quite that short in the 70s.
But, yeah, he looked absolutely rough and tough and uh
where he was he was um they were what are the ones that um they were mormons and uh so he's a
mormon karate master he was this mormon karate dude you just assume that like people who are
very religious and they were very religious uh couldn't do, like, you know, couldn't get into karate. It's a shoe violence, surely.
Exactly.
But all I remember from Daniel Powys is he once had,
I've probably talked about this
on the show before,
as all of my stories are,
he had like a bogey up his nose
that was completely,
he'd completely filled his nose
with bogey
and I'd never seen anything like it
and I still think about it every day.
And because he was Mormon.
Why did he just blow his nose?
I don't know.
Because he was Mormon,
I think it was Mormon,
he wasn't allowed any drugs so when he had hair fever
he had these kind of like
they were fake tablets
they were like placebos basically
or
you know
a very diluted version
of whatever the bollocks it is
it's kind of like
he just had like
jars
of these kind of like
tablets
that didn't do anything.
So he would just pop them in the classroom as his eyes were streaming
and his nose was streaming.
That's an incredible amount of information to unpack there.
But I'm going to do my best.
So your mate and your mate's dad, they're in a family.
They're Mormons.
The dad is a karate master.
Yeah.
But the son isn't.
Does the son do karate?
The son does Mormon more than...
He didn't do any karate.
Yeah, but not karate.
No, he moved out to America to be the best Mormon he could be.
But can he blow his nose?
Look, I don't know whether he blew his nose,
but he won't probably think we're
saying this and he'll never hear this but he uh he had when he was a kid he had a big forehead so
he was called t-file um because that was just you know that that was unfortunately kids who had big
foreheads back in the day uh people used to um take the mick out of because it was there was an
advert for a kettle uh or a toaster made by the
company t-file where they had a lot of boffins like scientists researching the the technology
and uh they had big foreheads so he was called t-file t-file head yeah quite upsetting really
i know quite a lot about daniel pout yeah you do you get this like under a bushel for far too long
and so so you don't see dads doing kung fu now.
You don't see this kind of stuff happening.
I've told you once I got chased by Barry Stafford's dad
down the back alleyway,
which sounds like a euphemism, but it's not.
I literally mean that.
And I don't know if dads chase kids now, do they?
I think kids would be more likely to challenge authority.
You'd be chasing...
Yeah, I agree.
Because you'd just stop and turn around and go,
what are you going to do?
Exactly what are you going to do, chasing dads?
What, are you going to beat me up?
I'm a child.
What's wrong with you?
Yeah.
And the thing is, I can see both sides, really,
because there's no way a dad is chasing a 10-year-old
for 100 metres because the 10 year old as um you know
a little bit of a dust up with his son right it just doesn't happen in 2021 but at the same time
i do think about that probably every couple of weeks so obviously a bit of an effect on me
and getting chased by a dad but i was absolutely absolutely shitting myself. There's no way I would have stopped and said,
what are you doing?
Because I genuinely thought he might fucking give me a slap.
The only reason he didn't is because my other friend's mum,
who's kind of the matriarch of the area,
neighborhood, came out and told him to stop being so stupid
and stop picking on little kids and all the rest of it
because I think my dad was at work.
So I got away with it for that reason.
So on one hand, I don't like the fact that kids challenge authority all the rest of it because i think my dad was at work so i got away with it for that reason but so on one hand i don't like the fact that kids challenge authority all the time now because i think it's lippy but on the other hand i mean it was quite debilitating yeah they they
i mean at no point should you have been chased physically by a grown man i just don't i just
don't think that's that that's allowed however lippy I tell you you are. No, I agree.
Although I was pretty lippy.
I did remember giving him what
was probably the most 80s insult
ever. You probably won't
remember this or you won't have any interest in it.
But there used to be these three cars
that were produced back then.
An Austin Metro, an Austin
Maestro and an Austin Montego.
Right? Right. Allegro? The Montego was the big one an Austin Maestro, and an Austin Montego, right?
Right.
The Montego was the big one, the Maestro was the middle one,
and the Metro was like the small mini one, right?
So the Metro would be the car you've got now.
And for me, as a 10-year-old who didn't really like anything about cars or know anything about it,
I just thought the bigger the car, the better, right?
Yeah.
So part of the reason that the dad didn't like me is because i regularly
used to like cheekily take the piss out of him for having an austin maestro whereas the next
door neighbor had an austin montego so i think at the time i didn't realize but that sowed the
seeds for the contempt that he had for me and then when i had the um the fight with his son
that was very much the the archduke franz ferdinand shooting trigger event for
for the first world war and it all went absolutely insane from then on and i genuinely felt like i
couldn't really go out of the house for a couple of weeks after that because you'd because you'd
taken the piss out of a man's whip fantastic he clearly had um uh problems but he clearly had
he cleared inferiority complex
about the car that he drove,
which I think is fascinating for a grown man to have.
Yeah, but he also had an unstated disability,
which I never used to tell you to piss at before
because I was brought up with properly.
But I think probably looking back on it,
I think he had a lot of pent up anger about anger about that right um but anyway so like it was pretty it was like pretty full-on it's like a
pretty full-on couple of weeks i think that was the same summer that um the lads on the on the
street went to monk's walk which is a park kind of park thing near where we lived and found like
50 porn mags oh mate what a what a trove yes it was like a pretty full-on
like dramatic couple of weeks you know sexy horny there was probably a lot of horse trading going on
when he found the magazines as well i thought i wow what a summer i was too terrified to to take
ownership of any of them but it was also the same summer where this kid a few doors down from me
called Craig
had the piss taken out of him
by some lads.
And his dad,
who was fucking hard,
he was a Marine
and he had a moustache.
He came back from work
and found out about it.
We didn't know he'd found out about it.
And the aforementioned on Monday,
Paul Button was in his go-kart
and the dad picked Paul up in the go-kart
and threw the go-kart with Paul in it.
Okay, for having pornos?
No, for taking the piss out of his son.
Oh, right.
Okay, sorry.
I can cap you.
And that was really annoying.
That was really annoying
because a week or so before that,
Craig's dad had built a basketball net for us
with a proper basketball net and backboard
put onto a really solid piece of wood
which was stuck into a bucket with a lot of concrete in it.
Right, oh, so solid construction didn't fall over.
Yeah, and we couldn't use that anymore.
You had no basketball privileges
because you took the mick out of his son.
It wasn't actually me
but yeah I was present
oh dear lord
so that's a trip down memory lane
that's what it was like growing up in Gosport in the 80s
Pete before we go to a break
you've shared a link about a film
called Theirs is the Glory
and you've not explained that to me
so I'd love to know what that's all about
no so my mate Ed I think he occasionally listens to the show,
basically told me about this film that just sounds absolutely fascinating.
Basically back in the... Let's have a look here.
So in, you know, like A Bridge Too Far,
Richard Attenborough did the film in 1977 about the Battle of Arnhem back in the day.
There's another film about that battle.
It's got a really small budget.
It's all black and white, not nearly as well known.
I'm basically reading out Ed's text here,
but he does it beautifully,
so it's better than I could explain it.
No major film stars in it
because every person in this film,
the film There's Us the Glory,
is a parachute regiment veteran who actually took part in that battle.
Wow!
That's the last thing they need, isn't it?
It was made two years after the actual battle, on location,
where the town of Arnhem is still in ruins.
The graves with wooden crosses
and helmets
are still there
this video's on YouTube
so I've sort of
skimmed through it
and stuff
and
I mean
the acting isn't amazing
but it was two years
after the fucking event
and none of them
were actors
they were all people
who were fucking there
risking their lives
two years before
did anyone have
any kind of concept of PTSD the last thing they need do you wanna go
back to where you made died do you look at the other way do they possibly I
wouldn't dare to be able to speak to no speak to this accurately of course would
it be cathartic for some of them?
Would it be... Look, I'm not a psychologist or a psychiatrist,
so I couldn't possibly speculate.
Maybe there might be something to that,
but, you know, in a particularly bloody battle,
it just cannot...
Apparently it raised a lot of money for charity for veterans and stuff,
and it was...
I think that was... I mean, I'm literally firing out about it for the first charity for veterans and stuff. And it was, I think that was certainly, it seems like,
I mean, I'm literally firing out about it for the first time here,
but that looks like it was at least, however naive,
certainly the intention.
But that is insane.
I'm definitely going to watch that.
I've never heard of it.
It's amazing.
And bless the brave directors.
And the director was a veteran of that battle, I believe.
82 minutes runtime.
So look, you can go and watch your Dunes for three hours,
your Veal Nerves, you can watch your films at the cinema,
your James Bonds, or you can watch a bit of that for 82 minutes.
Maybe do both. Maybe do both.
There's nowhere to go after that, so we're going to have to take a quick break.
And when we come back, we're going to do your battery brands
and we'll squeeze in a few of your emails as well.
So don't go away.
We'll see you in a moment.
Perfecto.
This is Detective Abberline.
Hearing you, Abberline.
Go ahead.
We've got the body of a male on Derwood Street, Whitechapel,
just behind the tube, a Mark Allen Nichols.
His throat has been cut, a stab wound below his shoulder blade,
and...
Continue, please, detective.
Yeah, she's cut off his knob and put his bollocks in the recycling bins.
Stack presents a thrilling new audio fiction.
She cut his throat, unbollocked the guy and decocked him for good measure.
The body of a man brutally murdered in Whitechapel
was discovered this morning.
That was Jackie's way.
Evil, bloodthirsty, sexually explicit,
and just, yeah, just bloody horrible, really.
Step into the scene.
Me, yours truly, moi.
That's, uh, me.
Detect, lead detective, Freddie Abber's, er, me. Detect... Lead detective,
Freddie Abberline of Scotland Yard.
There is a man next to us
who has been brutally murdered and dismembered.
Well, go and find his member, then.
Jesus Christ!
Ah, but we've kept his AirPods in, I see.
What's he listening to?
Death metal?
Zombie nation?
Follow me as I hunt the most vicious serial killer
known to man.
Good Lord, she's stuffed his eye sockets with his own bollocks.

Sorry, Sally, I got your shoes.
Oh, it's my wagamama from earlier.
Let's have a closer look.
Looks like noodles.
Nope, him.
Jackie the Ripper.
Hold on to your bollocks.
It's Thursday on the Luke and Pete Show,
so we are talking battery brands
and also other emails unrelated to batteries.
You don't always have to send stuff in about batteries.
Send us anything.
We are dad stuff.
Have you ever been in a war?
HelloatLukeandPeteShow.com or at LukeandPeteShow on Twitter.
Battery brands, Luke, we've got a couple of messages
that kind of flesh out the figure,
flesh out the current little bit of the batteries.
Dino Peverley has come in with a Tinko Super Alkaline,
which 100% sounds like a basic bitch early episode
of Luke and Pete Battery brand
that's been sent in 427 times already,
but I live in hope.
Luke, have you got the emails open,
or do I need to do it?
Yeah, I'll check it for you now.
Lovely old job.
I'm absolutely convinced there's no chance
that's a new player, though.
Tinko Super super alkaline.
Could we possibly have experienced a Tinko
that wasn't a super alkaline before?
That's the question.
The most recent Tinko has been sent in on July 22nd
by Chris Shaw.
We've also had it in by Chris Small.
Bashar also sent one in back in 2018.
And the first time we got it was actually in november 2017 so i'm sorry to say dino
you have not entered a new player into the game sorry dino that's that's terrible news um hello
to martin in shrewsbury in the uk hi the looking pete i ordered a new smart tv a few days ago from
a well-known catalog shopping store i was to pick it up next day from my local outlet as you sure
as i'm sure you can appreciate for the 24 hours prior to the pickup,
I was genuinely excited as to what new brand of batteries
I might discover
when I unwrap the TV remote
and accessories bag.
Imagine my disappointment
when I found a pair
of Common or Garden Bexel AAs.
I love my new TV.
The world in 4K is a revelation,
but I can't help but feel
I've let us all down
when I had the rare opportunity
to end a new play into the game.
All I can do is apologise
and supply you with a picture of the offending Bexels for your record.
And then he comes back like seconds later.
Dear, the Luke and the Pete.
Further to my tale of battery disappointment, I may have unearthed my redemption.
I've just found a pair of P-O-E-A-E.
Triple A's hiding in my hi-fi amp remote.
Hopefully a new player, but don't ask me how it's pronounced.
Is it Poy?
Poy-ay?
Poy-ay?
Or P-ya?
Fingers crossed, Martin.
Shows you, okay?
P-O-E-A-E.
Is it a new player, Luke Moore?
So I'll take the Bexels first.
You are, Martin, the 35th separate person
to send in Bexel,
so you're right at the bottom of this there.
But the later mentioned, I would call him Poirier.
I would say Poirier.
That is, I'm delighted to say, a new player.
So all is not lost, Martin.
You have successfully entered a new player to the game.
Welcome aboard, Poiriers.
Martin, congratulations.
Welcome aboard, Po-Yays.
Martin, congratulations.
You can enjoy the rich, high dynamic resolution and 4K pixel count of your new television,
but have a clear conscience
that you've helped out the Luke and Pete show.
And finally for now,
we've got one from Megan Corey from New Jersey.
Hi guys, recently I had to buy a new digital thermometer
and found these inside. Have we
had Andali
Alkaline? A-N-D-A-L-I
Alkaline. Just checking
now, I am absolutely
delighted to tell you we've had several
Alkaline batteries before, but
we've never had an Andali Alkaline
so that is the second new player
of the week. Well done Megan, shout out
to you amazing
contribution um that will go some way towards uh softening the blow that you live in new jersey
don't ever go to new jersey
jersey city it's not very nice crying out loud uh we got a message an email if you will from
daniel from new york have we done uh the done the email entitled Shitting in a Michelin?
No, we haven't.
Right.
This has been on the runner for a little while.
Hi, chaps.
Long-time Ramble listener.
First time emailer into the Luke and Pete show.
I thought I'd write in regarding the subject of soiled pants.
Always.
We always require these emails.
I've soiled mine now.
Now in 2016, I took a three-month-long backpacking trip
through South America.
Having worked in Michelin-starred fine dining restaurants throughout uni
and having just written a dissertation on cookbooks,
the indigenous people in Argentina,
I was and still am what you would call a foodie.
So throughout this trip, I'd say in the dodgiest and cheapest hostels
you could find to save money.
It's more fun anyway because there's always a party and cheap beers available
only to spend it in all the fanciest restaurants around town to experience high cuisines of the region now while
in lima i had a reservation to dine at central the all uh one of the most highly acclaimed
restaurants in the world by chef virgilio virgilio martinez i think you say his first name like that
serving an inspired tasting menu that highlights the biodiversity of Peru.
I'd been up late the night before, awkwardly dancing away at a local nightclub and had stumbled to bed after a few too many bottles of Cusco.
I woke up mid-afternoon feeling hungover and queasy in my stomach, as you do,
but I got dressed quickly in the excitement to dine at Central.
I caught a cab, drove across town, and as I was leaving the car,
thought I was letting loose a little gas.
I wasn't.
I had shat my pants.
A violent squirt of diarrhoea
right in front of the best restaurant in South America.
I froze.
Thinking about my next course of action,
I could head back to the hostel,
change out of my soiled pants and return to Central.
However, considering the distance between the restaurant and the hostel,
that would put me an hour late to my reservation.
Not to be rude, I pushed through. That was the hostel, that would put me an hour late to my reservation. Not to be rude,
I pushed through. That was the
problem, pushing through. Yeah.
I entered the restaurant,
checked in for my reservation with a gracious
maitre d', and asked for the restroom before
I got seated. In the toilet, I took off
my soiled underpants, threw it into the trash
can in shame, fought through another bout
of diarrhoea, and eventually returned to my table.
Sans the poopy pants. The meal was
exquisite, by the way. My
experience at the Central will always be
tainted. And it was the
taint that was clearly the problem at times
by this unfortunate incident.
Daniel from New York, he also wants to become
the official sommelier for the Luke and Pete
show. Can we really trust him?
Can we really trust him?
If we were on the lookout for um an official
sommelier of the luke and pete show and i do like kind of learning about wine and hearing about it
and tasting it and all that good stuff as i get older i don't know the first port of call will be
someone who shits themselves a lot yeah i mean because if you think you can get away with styling
out uh pants full of poop
at the poshest restaurant, the best restaurant in all of South America,
I don't think your nose is up to scratch.
Because you should be able to smell that, to be quite frank.
So should they.
So should they.
They should be thinking, Centrale should be thinking,
okay, this man's got a reservation.
We're probably going to get
X amount of money out of him.
But are we going to pollute
the entire dining room
to the point where
no one's going to come back?
I think they've been very lenient there
because you're talking about people
in that profession
who have exquisite palates
and exquisite noses.
They're going to smell you a mile off.
So I don't know you've got away with that, to be honest.
I think the maitre d' probably thinks,
look, he may have shat his pants,
but it does mean his belly is completely empty.
So he can have loads more food
than what a normal man could manage, to be quite frank.
But not if it's a tasting menu
where everyone gets the same anyway.
That's a good point.
I mean, just amazing.
Imagine him, would you like to see my tasting menu? No, thank you very much. You cannot be trusted. everyone gets the same anyway. That's a good point. I mean, just amazing. Just amazing stuff.
Imagine him,
would you like to see my tasting menu?
No, thank you very much.
You cannot be trusted, Daniel.
But I do appreciate your honesty.
I'll give you a lot of credit
for your honesty there
because that's not an easy thing
to divulge.
And you've got your name in there.
You didn't censor yourself
like a lot of people do.
Good on you.
So there we go.
I've got an email here from Shannon from Perth. and i want to read it out partly because it's great to
hear from someone from perth in western australia which i believe is the most isolated city in the
world i think that's the fact isn't it um and i've never been a lot of uh pearl farming there i think
anyway i digress maybe shannon from from Perth can confirm or deny that.
He says, hi, guys.
Greetings from lovely Perth.
By the way, Shannon's probably not necessarily a guy,
so I apologize for that.
Whoever you are, thank you very much for emailing in.
They say, a while back,
came across an article of animals people thought they could beat in a fist fight.
Right?
As the headline said, 10% of people,
so one in 10, thought they could beat a lion.
39% surveyed didn't think they could beat a goose.
I'd love to hear you guys discuss the results of which animals you would back your chances to beat.
Keep up the good work.
Always a good laugh to keep me going through the week.
Shannon from Perth.
Now, i probably fall
in between the lion and the goose right so but i would very much like to see whether it's 70 30
towards one way or the other to be quite frank i i'm in a situation where i could probably do
about 10 turtles if i had boots on that's that's not a fist fight, is it?
Oh, fist fight?
Geeks don't have fists, do they?
Yeah, but he's going to peck you.
He's going to peck you for crying out loud.
Yeah, but what do you...
Hang on.
Oh, so you'd have to punch.
You would have to punch the goose in the face to knock it out.
I guess the rules could be kind of established but what i'm
saying is you can't use any weapons yeah and you're talking about hobnail boots already you
disgusting cruel man you see an animal the first thing you think is hobnail boots yeah exactly i'm
just sort of thinking like if you're punching if you're if you because you it would be very hard
to knock spark out a goose because the neck and the head is so flexible,
it would absorb all of the punches.
You'd have to just do all body blows on it.
And I think we should also,
because this happens quite a lot,
completely unintentional in my head.
We get a lot of our cruelty to animal people
complaining about this show,
even though we're clearly joking.
And we're talking about probably,
although this is a hard sell when we're talking
about a goose it's a life or death situation you've got to fight your way out of it if it's
a lion i'm sure that someone said to me once that um as part of a coming of age ceremony in some
parts of africa certain um teenage boys have to fight like certain animals and stuff and it's
terrifying right i don't know if it still goes on, but I've read it before.
And if you are backed into a corner against a lion,
you've got very, very slim hopes of coming out of that.
You have to get very lucky.
But it's amazing, astonishing. And I'm fairly certain the numbers change
from males to females,
and the males seem to genuinely think that they could beat...
So one in ten people think that they
can beat a lion. That's amazing.
That's men who drink Monster Energy drink
and drive their cars really fast.
Monster Energy drink, go to a dojo
go to a dad dojo
all that. Yeah. Have you
speaking of like misplaced male confidence
have you seen that DJ Khaled video that came
out this week? Oh Luke
you put that on the Ramble that came out this week? Oh, Luke, you put that on the Ramblin' WhatsApp.
How good is it?
Fucking brilliant.
We've got to share it on the socials.
He's just been given a freebie of a Bob Marley branded guitar.
And I think they read out the cards that came with it.
Basically, DJ Khaled, you are a man who clearly enjoys, you know,
the finer things in life and you respect the work of Jamaica's greatest artist, Bob Marley.
And here is a guitar that, you know, celebrates his life and work.
And, yeah, you know, it's just the family hawking a bit of merch, isn't it?
But he turned the camera and just sort of go
this is for bob marley and then just fucking attacks the guitar with abandon with not really
kind of not not no codge patterns no code shapes he plays it as if he can play the guitar but he's
clearly never picked up a guitar before in his life and he's staring down the barrel of the
camera like he works in a music shop.
I'm going to play it to you.
I'm actually going to play it out and we can edit this
and we'll get people to hear it.
Let me play it out to you now. Hang on.
Lovely.
Get a close-up, get a close-up.
Get a close-up of the case, the guitar.
You know what I'm saying?
And a special note from the Marley family.
Shout out to the Marley.
Melissa, can you read this for me?
Can you read this to the world, please?
Okay.
DJ Khaled, we're excited to share this new guitar with you.
As someone who has an appreciation for Bob Marley's life and music,
we want you to be one of the first to play the Gilded 20 Marley
based on Bob's at-home songwriting guitar from 56 Hope Road.
This guitar inspired songs that help unite the world,
and we hope it gives you inspiration as well. It's absolutely bizarre.
It's absolutely bizarre.
The confidence on display,
if you could bottle that and sell it,
the world would be an incredible place
because he is...
So what I'm talking about
here there's nothing wrong with being confident there's nothing wrong with believing in your own
ability right yeah of course it's a big part of why people get up in the morning you know but
this is a man who you know if you put him in a cockpit of a 747 he would tell you he could fly
it and he would try to fly it and he would would crash it, and he would kill everyone on board.
And if he survived, he would tell you it wasn't his fault,
and he would sincerely believe that.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
It's incredible.
Yeah, most people would give him a guitar in front of an audience,
and they can't play it.
It's their worst nightmare.
He's taken that energy, and he's just used it to his advantage,
and he does not care what anyone thinks about him.
It's an absolutely incredible thing.
And the way he approaches it,
I need to pick my words carefully here,
he acts like he's almost got, like,
no frame of reference for embarrassment.
Do you know what I mean?
Well, he's DJ Khaled.
Like, embarrassment is what happens to other people.
Yeah.
You think, but I always,
I think people are always surprised when, like,
DJs and people who work in, like, the dance industry
can play a bit.
You know, they can play their own instruments and stuff
and they're musicians first and DJs second.
You know, they've made their money being DJs,
but they know their way around a tune.
They know their way around a recording studio
and they certainly know their way around the instruments
It looks like DJ Khaled very much
is not in that sphere
and it's
just amazing hubris
with literally no skill
to back it up. Nah, I mean
I'll speak as someone who's actually heard his proper music
and I don't think that's that good
That gives you a frame of reference
if you need one, but it's astonishing.
It's absolutely incredible.
Most people would have got that gift,
probably posted little videos
on how pleased they were to receive it.
Thanks very much to Bob Marley's family
and the trust and whatever it is.
Yeah.
And put it away or given it away as a birthday present.
He has not done that in any way.
It's like if someone said to you, Pete,
do you want to go out at halftime
at a packed Old Trafford next weekend and show everyone your skills you're probably gonna say no oh oh it
would be good content for the rambler wouldn't it i would be i would be lobbying you all week to say
yes but i would understand if you said no dj caled would do it now and he's probably never
even seen a football before yeah yeah exactly it's the way
somebody
one of the replies
really made me laugh
was like
ah that sweet
open H tuning
I saw someone say
the tuning he must be in
he must be dad chat
this is a real guitar joke
anyway
let's get out of here Pete
we've done our shift
for this week
I think
and we hope everyone's
enjoyed it of course
do leave us a review if you can.
There was a really funny review that I shared on my Instagram,
actually, earlier this week, and it was five stars,
which is the most important thing,
because we want other people to be able to find the show
and enjoy it as well.
Send us an email if you've got something to say,
