it's a luca peach it is a thursday luke i'm gonna let people through this fucking curtain
and tell them that we recorded this show a couple of days earlier than we usually would and um
currently we are very worried about a piece of space trash hurtling towards earth right now
are the us gonna shoot this piece of chinese space trash out of the air with the
laser jewish or otherwise what are they gonna do how is it it's gonna crash it as the the atlantic
or the pacific or something it's all very exciting luke yeah so i think apparently um let's just get
let's just get straight into it mate are we doing all right i'm almost fine till i heard this cool
um i'm doing all right yeah people know what to expect from us by now.
So there's a piece of Chinese space trash, as you would say.
I mean, it's a bit disrespectful calling it trash.
I think it was at one point a space station.
Yeah.
That's coming back into the Earth's atmosphere
and is expected to drop onto the Earth at some point.
And to me, reading that article about it i thought there should be
more contingency for this because they say stuff like oh um anything under a certain size kind of
burns up and there's nothing to worry about and then they can control the bigger stuff i think
but this one like this article was incredible because it had quotes from people like,
for example, Jonathan McDowell, astrophysicist at the Astrophysics Centre
at Harvard University.
What do you think he said?
It's bad.
He said, it's potentially not good.
I want more detail.
Suboptimal.
I'm going to need more detail.
I want figures.
I want facts.
I want an Al from Quantum Leap percentage, please,
whether it's going to drop a meowth.
And then the article goes on to say,
the most likely outcome is it will fall into the sea
as the ocean covers 71% of the planet.
It's not a contingency.
It's not enough.
If I said to you,
you've got a 29% chance of having a disaster today,
which could involve deaths
that's too high
it's fucking too high
a percentage
just keep fire
and just have little boosters
on it
and boost it out to
I don't know
Uranus
oh very good
I don't know what to expect
I hope that
I hope that it doesn't
apparently it's currently
it's currently
trajectoried
to land
I think in the sea off the coast of the...
Oh, no, sorry.
Last time it happened, a load of stuff smashed into,
mostly into the sea,
but some of it smashed into parts of buildings
in the Ivory Coast.
Yeah, not great, is it?
It's always like, why is it always like...
It's never, yeah, it's never New York.
Oh.
Well, because it would have been shot out of the sky a long time ago.
We probably know about it.
Yeah.
Are you saying that you want it to land on New York?
No, I'm not saying I want it to land on New York.
It's never like...
All right, I've chosen a terrible choice for that one.
Yeah.
Los Angeles.
Why?
What?
Why Los Angeles?
The traffic's terrible.
They could do with a shake-up.
That's going to make traffic worse, isn't it?
They'll have to cordon it off.
They'll have to close roads, won't they?
Fine. No one ever says, I'll tell you what we have to cordon it off. They'll have to close roads, won't they?
All right, fine.
No one ever says,
I'll tell you what we need to sort this traffic out,
some space debris smashing into us.
Space shit.
Let's sort it out.
It's just admin.
It's going to make it worse.
I wonder whether people have spent enough time thinking about what they're going to do
with space trash, basically.
Because apparently things more than 10 tonnes should not allow
to be fallen out of the sky onto the
Earth. And that seems
quite high to me.
10 tonnes is a lot. So anyway,
I mean, fuck, that's what's going to happen. By the time
this comes out, we might all be
hit on the head with it. Maybe it landed, maybe it might
land on those warring
Jersey fishermen.
Another very relevant story for when we recorded this.
That is an interesting story, though.
It is, yeah.
Proper old-school brinkmanship, isn't it?
It gave me quite a lot of nostalgia.
Yeah.
It's like, it's almost as if, right,
when the conservatives get in,
big problems happen every time.
Do you reckon they get blamed for it or not?
No, they don't get it.
They're the absolute formica Teflon straight off.
Who did you vote for in the old election?
Binhead, of course.
Camping face, did you?
Camping face, yeah, of course.
Did you really?
No.
Okay, you don't want to tell me.
It's not important.
Tory.
What?
Of course the Tory.
But I just point at some people and you just nod when I get to it.
That YouTuber.
Did you?
That YouTuber.
Well, one of the YouTubers has been on Jack's show.
Really lovely fellow, Max.
I reckon if Jack ran,
he'd Jack.
Jack Met.
I haven't the channel.
I will sort out
this fishing problem.
Amazing.
I thought it was
a really interesting story.
I don't know what's
going to happen.
I don't need to know, really.
I'm just enjoying
the Daily Mail front covers
of like,
these fucking,
fucking frogs on the run bollocks. You know, all that shit. Don't call to know, really. I'm just enjoying the daily front covers of like, these fucking frogs on the run bollocks, you know?
Don't call them frogs.
That's what they would say. It sounds like you're saying it.
It doesn't, because I'm doing this voice.
Plausible deniability.
Why haven't frogs got breasts?
They probably have.
They're amphibians.
Completely different kettle of fish.
I'm going to fucking get one and draw little titties on them.
Frog's legs?
Well, why not draw the breast?
What are you in for?
Why don't you draw?
What are you in for?
Animal cruelty.
Oh, that's horrible.
What have you done?
I drew a load of, I got a Sharpie.
Yeah.
I drew a load of breasts on frogs.
Yeah.
The best ever.
They were really emasculated.
The best ever deal with it meme gif was the poisonous lizard coming out the frog's mouth
and the frog dying
oh don't look like that
the frog
ate the lizard
and you thought
that was the end of it
that's the end of the story
all of a sudden
the frog dies
and the lizard just
casually crawls out
the frog's mouth
sunglasses down
deal with it
bifter
is it better
crab with a knife
crab with a knife
versus
death lizard.
Crab, well, gecko with the little drawing pin.
You mess with gecko, you get the pecko.
Do you remember that one?
That's a great meme.
The frog that people said was nailed to the park bench.
But it wasn't.
No, I don't think it was.
Why do people make stuff up like that?
I just think they just want to spoil people's fun.
They're lonely.
Yeah.
Yes, it is.
Remember going back
a long, long time
and there was
the bonsai cats myth?
Oh, yeah.
You put the cats
in the square jar
and they become
square or something.
Very, very strange.
But seriously,
you mess with Gecko,
you get a pecko.
I need to talk to you
about your driving test.
Oh, no.
Because it was
your birthday last week, as we discussed.
It was, yeah. And I noticed
in the diary, in the work
diary that we share... Did I put it in there?
Well, this is the thing. People who listen
to this show regularly will not be surprised
to hear that you raged against the dying
of the light when it came to using a work calendar.
But now you finally use it.
I'm very organised. You put a lot of detail in there.
I would probably just put Luke unavailable,
but you've put Pete driving test.
Have I?
I think I changed it after.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, turns out.
Yes, I did do that at some point.
Yeah, I like the work calendar,
but I don't,
the thing is,
I don't put my,
I don't get specific about meetings and stuff.
I just put Pete busy.
And I fear that make me look a little more work shy than most. I think put Pete busy. And I fear that may make me
look a little more work shy than most.
I think it looks like you're masturbating.
I mean, I'm doing that as well, obviously.
Tell me about your driving test.
I'm not allowed to masturbate.
Are you ready?
No!
God, no.
You know what?
I'm all right at it.
And it's an automatic
and it's a piece of piss.
The only thing is other road users and St Albans. I'm doing my test and it's an automatic and it's a piece of piss the only thing is
other road users
in St Albans
I'm doing my test
in St Albans
the buses
they just do what they want
the other car drivers
they do what they want
roundabouts
who needs them
it just seems to be
very
it's a very stressful thing
but my driving instructor
he's not used his little brick
for a few weeks
just to wear a mask
yeah
and that's the thing
under the spectacles it kind of gets dislodged sometimes and that's the thing. Under the spectacles, it kind of
gets dislodged sometimes and you don't want to
and you try and adjust it.
You can't be taking your hands off the wheel.
That's terrible.
Do your glasses steam up when you're driving?
Yeah, well, no, a little bit
but it's just a bit uncomfortable.
It's uncomfortable doing everything with a mask.
It's rather upsetting but I understand why you need to do it.
So you're only going to do it
for an automatic car?
Yeah.
Why?
It's easier.
You've only ever got to
own your own car,
aren't you?
And rent your own car.
So the car you've already bought.
And all cars in the future
will be electric
and automatic anyway,
aren't they?
True, actually.
So,
but driving,
I didn't realise,
it's fucking exhausting.
The concentration makes you tired.
I mean, because I've never done it before,
I'm a little more like, oh, am I in a residential area?
Is it 30 or 20?
And I'm just constantly just, and by the end of it,
I'm absolutely rinsed.
I didn't realise how stressful it was.
But yeah, I like my driving instructor, Alam.
I just love his stories as a young man moving to London,
as a young Bangladeshi bloke.
It was just like a fascinating...
Is he a good instructor?
Yeah, he's good.
When's he telling you those stories?
When you're driving?
Yeah.
That's bad.
He used to take Mondays off, Monday nights off,
so he could watch the Not The Nine O'Clock News.
That's not what you'd think to be into, isn't it?
Yeah, it's a bit random.
To take time off to do it.
But should he really be telling you all these stories
while you're supposed to be driving?
Yeah, well, we're chill now.
I'm like, I'm almost the finished product.
But I just know for a fact I'll get in the...
The only advice he ever says is,
you can do that after you've passed,
but don't do it now.
Don't do it for your test.
I'm worried about that.
Is he going to sit in the back of the car for your test?
Because they do that now, apparently.
Do they?
What, the instructor?
How the instructor sits behind us, right?
So my friend passed her test quite recently.
She's my age.
Yeah.
Our age.
Because you do it in their car, don't you?
Yes, and she said...
He's just looking after the merchandise.
No, but when I passed my test
your driving instructor
sat there waiting
for you
but apparently
now they can sit
in the back
would you want that
would you want
Alam telling you
stories while you're
doing it
no I didn't want
yeah that would
stress me out
it would feel like
I was on like a
boys holiday
come on lads
we're going to
finally
oh let's go to the
park
so I remember
when I passed my driving test
the driving test examiner
was sick
right
I didn't want to
cancel
like sick as in like a badass
like
smoking doobs
I think he went on to pass away sadly
cool
I just made that up
that quickly
pull the pass off
just get in the car with you
no this is absolutely true
so what happened was
they didn't want to cancel
the tests
so I got a
driving test examiner
who I think
was a motorbike test guy
so he came and sat
in the passenger seat
he's like whoa
four wheels
no joke right
this is like two motorbikes
worth
no joke
he had full levers on
and the helmet
with the thing up
what
and he squeezed his way
into the passenger seat with this clipboard.
What?
And he passed me.
And I've never really said anything for a while
because I didn't want people to think it wasn't legit.
But it was in 1999, so I've probably got away with it now.
That's insane.
Yeah, so I got a real touch.
What was his deal about?
I don't know, I just got a real touch.
A man who had no peripheral vision at all because he's got a helmet on.
He thought if he crashed, it's fine, I'm wearing a helmet.
Did you get into a rally car? It sounds like you were in a rally car. He thought if he crashed, it's fine, I'm wearing a helmet. Did you get into a rally car?
Sounds like you were in a rally car.
He kept screaming, left, left, left.
Left, left, left, hard left.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Funny.
So do you still have to do the old emergency stop
and reverse around the corner and that kind of stuff?
I think I've done some reversing around the corner.
The thing about Alam,
and I presume it's with every instructor these days,
they prepare you to pass the test rather than to do the thing you're supposed to do.
So, like, I can vibe my way into a parking spot.
I can vibe my way into a parallel park.
But he literally goes, go there, turn the wheel three times this way
or two times, one time, yeah, and it gets in the position.
All right, that works, Alam, but I want to vibe it out.
Yeah.
I want to vibe it. I want to enjoy my enjoy my driving mate i'm more of a jazz driver
but you know um the one thing i found weird when i passed my test is that they don't um
let you drive a motorways until you've passed and that was quite terrifying coming onto a motorway
why did they do that statistically i think it's the safest part of the road yeah i guess everyone's
going in the same direction but um getting onto a motorway is I think it's the safest part of the road. Yeah. I guess because everyone's going in the same direction.
But getting onto a motorway is terrifying when you've just passed.
And you're like... Do you think you'll bother doing it?
Is someone letting me on?
I did.
I did it.
I accidentally got on the M1 on my scooter on the way to my driving lesson.
I was like...
Trying to get a sense.
I was like, I don't really know where I'm going.
And I was like, that's a big...
Oh, that's the M1.
I cannot get into that.
Did you go back down
the slipway road?
I went,
I was on the roundabout
about to get on the M1.
I was like,
I'm fairly certain.
But the problem with
like motorways is
you really can't do UEs.
I mean,
they've made that very clear
by design.
But yeah,
I managed to get off
earlier rather than later.
Well, it depends
what part of the world
you're in
because I think sometimes
they, I mean,
some parts of the world the laws of the road are quite than later. Well, it depends what part of the world you're in because I think sometimes they, I mean, some parts of the world
the laws of the road
are quite just guidelines.
Yeah, they're just
a serving suggestion
aren't they?
Yeah.
I remember being in Naples
and the cab driver,
you might have been in my cab,
drove the wrong way
down the road
on the wrong side
of the road
for, I'm going to say
about 200 metres.
One way down
and one way straight.
Yeah, it was pretty terrifying.
And then I was also in,
as I told you,
I was in Turkey once,
Mimi and I,
and a taxi took us into town.
He was playing Candy Crush
the whole time, right?
He drove down a cycle track
because there was traffic
and then he got out of the car
while the meter was running
and had a fist fight
with a coach driver.
I like it.
It was full on.
He's just, look,
he's amped up
with all that Candy Crush. The problem was, I was getting fuming in a really British way about the it. It was full on. He's just, look, he's amped up with all that candy crush.
The problem was,
I was getting fuming
in a really British way
about the meter.
I was like,
pause the meter
to have a fight.
If you want to fight,
have it.
If that's what you want to do,
do it.
I went to Istanbul once
and I think I took three taxis,
all of which I paid twice.
Like, easily.
It's just like,
it's just,
oh,
oh,
me,
me,
me,
me,
it's gone down.
I was like,
has it, mate?
Has it?
Because we know what you're doing.
Should I be paying him to have the fight?
Answer me that.
I shouldn't be, should I?
No, no.
If he wants to have it, he should be having it on his own time.
Yeah, I completely agree.
Anyway, let's go and have a quick break.
Let's do that.
We'll have a quick break.
And then when we come back, I've got a couple more emails.
But before we do that, I need to do some battery brands
because that's what happens on a Thursday.
So stick around.
We'll be back after
these very important messages.
Batteries.
Luke, Pete, we've got
the lot. Luke Moore is in
Battery Corner. I'm in Battery Corner.
It's like that
thing you get in the supermarket where people
put their disused batteries in. Yeah. They never
empty those. No.
It's just always
overflowing with batteries.
What do they do with them?
They just pour them
down the sewer.
Just pour them down a grate.
Do you reckon they put them
together to make
one big battery?
There's a bit of juice
left in all of them.
I don't know.
One big battery left.
And Elon Musk
takes them for Tesla.
He does, yeah.
He just pours them
in the gas tank.
A lot of people
don't realise that,
do they?
That's how you actually
charge a Tesla.
You just pour all the
batteries in the side,
yeah.
Yeah, it works.
You did tell me once, I think this was a lie, but you did tell me, you just pour all the batteries in the side, yeah. Yeah, it works. You did tell me
once, I think this
was a lie, but you
did tell me that
you put up the
carpet in an
electric car and
it's just a load
of batteries underneath.
Yeah, there's
like 70,000
batteries in each
individual cell.
That seems like
bollocks.
Mate, trust me,
believe.
The electric
revolution starts
here.
No point having a
big battery because
if it breaks, your
car's fucked.
If you have loads
of different cells,
if a couple of them break,
you're fine.
True.
It's a fair point.
All right, here we go then.
Battery brands.
It's a Thursday,
so we see if we can get some new players
to enter the game.
Pete, I'm going to put them to you.
You can judge.
Someone pointed out on Twitter
that it wasn't the most robust of processes
because I said that all I do is ask Pete
and if he can remember them,
they don't go in.
Yeah, that person can get fucked
because I have a titanium memory. Yeah, that person can get fucked because I have a titanium memory.
Yeah, no memories can get in.
The first one is from Fox Danger on Twitter.
Fox Danger, good name.
It's Kendall,
as in the place Kendall in the Lake District.
Oh, I saw that
and I thought Fox Danger was the battery.
Which would have been great.
Oh, mate.
I've never seen this, Kendall, before.
Don't eat them.
It's not a mint cake.
No.
You don't want zinc or magnesium in your mouth.
They've branched out from mint cakes to batteries.
Is it a new player?
Yes, I think it is.
I think so, too.
Well done, Fox.
It's a new player entering the game.
Chris Days has been in touch saying,
what about...
He said, I woke up early.
I found a game of cricket on TV to watch.
One of the main sponsors is Osaka Batteries.
Nice.
And rather than saying,
is this a new player to enter the game?
He says, is this an addition to your battery brands?
Get it in the list.
Yeah, Osaka Batteries.
Lovely part of Japan.
It's not technically a battery he's presenting.
It's the existence of a battery.
So I guess maybe we'll let him in.
We'll let him in.
And Matt Drage has emailed him with three new battery brands.
First of all, Ruido and Gritty definitely aren't new players.
We've seen them before loads of times.
And the middle one is Super X, as in Super E-X,
as in, like, you had a partner who went on
to do really amazing things after you broke up,
and they were your Super X. Oh, right. Is that right? So, OK to do really amazing things after you broke up, and they were your super ex.
Oh, right.
Is that right?
Okay, someone has achieved something after you.
My ex is moving to Bermuda.
All right.
That's a big one, isn't it?
That's a big move.
Is that because of the suits the Majesty's got on Zola and UP,
or not?
What happened?
What happened?
I don't know.
She's moving to Bermuda.
I thought, that's interesting.
Hard to dress that one up as a sideways move with your partner.
Not LS. Not LS. Oh, really? Crazy, huh? She's moved to Bermuda. I thought, that's interesting. Hard to dress that one up as a sideways move with your new partner. Is it?
Not LS.
Not LS.
Oh, really?
Crazy, huh?
Yeah, that is crazy.
Fair enough.
Not really a new partner.
They've been together for a long time.
Yeah.
They've got a kid and everything.
I know.
Yeah, all right.
Fair enough.
I just don't think the first way to describe her
should be your ex.
She's done other stuff.
Fine, okay.
But I don't think it really...
I'm just saying it's interesting.
How do you congratulate someone
about moving halfway around the world?
Good luck.
Good luck, that's what I said.
Yeah, send around a Monopoly.
Something from home.
Remind you of home, yeah.
Box of PG tips.
So Super X, I'm going to say, probably is a new one.
So one out of three for you, Matt Drage.
Well done.
Keep your battery brands coming in.
We always like to admit new players into the game.
We don't have a permanent record of it.
We're just not that kind of person.
No.
Persons.
Collective person.
It's time for emails, Pete.
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com
if you want to email us in
at LukeandPeteShow on Instagram and Twitter.
Peter, why don't you take us away with an email today?
I'm going to kick off with Chloe's,
if that's all right with you.
Sure.
Hello, Luke and Pete.
If you read this on the show,
please do not mention my name.
That was from Stephen.
I've just been accepted to...
Why do people do that?
Why do you do that?
At the end of it, warm regards, Chloe.
Why do you do that?
Why do you do that?
Maybe just a second.
I mean, it could be any Chloe, surely.
Yeah, there's more than one Chloe.
There's at least 50 Chloe's in the UK.
Yeah, and if you know Chloe, sorry, Stephen,
if you know Steve, you will know that they're doing this thing,
so don't worry about it.
It's fine.
I've just been accepted to grad school for engineering in the UK.
Congratulations, Stephen.
And I wanted to get both of your recommendations
on choosing between the University of Strathclyde,
University of York, and University of Essex,
based on whatever personal opinions and feelings you have.
I'm from California and don't know anything. You're probably not going to enjoy north of Essex. Based on whatever personal opinions and feelings you have, I'm from California and don't know anything.
You're probably not going to enjoy North of the Borderlands.
First of all, you shouldn't be asking us.
But, no, I was going to say, listen, I've got two things to say.
One is Scotland is amazing.
It's the University of Strathclyde.
It's cold, isn't it?
It is.
York, Strathclyde, excellent universities.
I don't know universities that well.
I'm going to say that's probably shit.
I'm going to say it's probably shit.
But it is close to London, so you know.
Well, Strathclyde's in Glasgow, and Scotland is amazing.
And the great thing about Scotland, Chloe,
is I've probably waxed lyrical about many times on this show.
You're going to get a weather culture shock.
That's going to happen wherever you go in the UK,
from California.
But within 40 minutes,
you can be in the most
beautiful countryside
you've ever seen
if you're based in Glasgow.
So definitely consider that.
I know Strathclyde's
supposed to be a good
university as well.
University of York
is a fantastic university
and there is one
really big reason why
maybe you should choose there.
Pete, what is it?
So again,
I was reading the
University of Essex
tagline, which is at Essex, we I was reading the University of Essex tagline,
which is,
at Essex,
we're a bunch of risk takers,
opinion makers,
stereotype breakers
and world shakers.
Nice.
Yeah.
I mean,
it does say,
study at our Colchester campus,
Southend campus
and it goes on.
Right, okay.
It's one of those universities.
You're moving to Southend,
aren't you?
I am, yeah.
Maybe I'll study.
So there you go,
Chloe.
If you want to go
to the University of Essex,
maybe you'll be based
quite near Pete Donaldson.
Colchester, Southend,
Loughton. What's the want to go to University of Essex, maybe you'll be based quite near Pete Donaldson. Colchester, Southend, Bloughton.
What's the big USP for University of York?
Look, you're coming from California.
You're going to want your Joe and the Juice juices.
Listen, mate, it's Longboy.
It's based at the University of fucking York.
Yes, of course.
Longboy.
So if you're not going to go to the university
on the basis of a giant wildfowl,
then you are not qualified, frankly.
A cathedral and a big long duck,
goose, whatever it is.
And also, engineering is something that
perhaps you could engineer a steampunk trolley
for the long boy.
You could, yeah.
Help him out.
Help a brother out.
I think we're going to rank York number one
because of Longboy
yeah
Strathclyde number two
because it's beautiful
yeah
and Essex
I am being stereotypical
about Essex
fair enough
you can hang me out
to drive for that
depends on how old you are
I don't know what grad school
I don't know what
if you want to
so that's a masters basically
yeah if you want to party
you're probably not
if it's grad school
it's a masters
yeah you're probably
not that into partying.
Chloe slash Stephen
also says,
not to be a fucking sap,
but Luke and Pete show
is one of the most comforting
and wonderful things
to listen to for me
and I very much appreciate
getting to enjoy your chum
and wit every single week.
Yeah, she sounds like
a University of Essex
kind of woman.
Pete can't take compliments.
She sounds like
she's got terrible judgment.
I will bathe in the splendor
of that compliment
for quite a long time
so thank you very
much Chloe
I'll hunker down
in the shadow
of the long boy
comment
she should let us
know how she gets
on Pete
yes please
yep
I want to
I want to like
a diary every month
presumably she's
starting in September
yeah
if she decides to
come over
not any good
universities in
America
pathetic
good luck
yeah
expensive as well
to come to
university in the UK.
I can imagine.
So make the most of it, Stephen.
Chloe Stevens.
Shows up the coffers of many universities,
the international student.
Yeah, very much so.
So good stuff.
All right.
What about this from Sam Blackham?
Sam Blackham.
I think it's pronounced.
I mean, he's probably going to say half of it,
even though I don't say my name.
He says, hi, Luke and Pete.
After listening to a previous episode
where you talked about Come Dine With Me,
some more Come Dine With Me chat,
I thought I would share some information
on behind the scenes of the show.
Oh, yes, please.
In the late 2000s,
my grandparents' next door neighbor was on the show.
They're a family friend as well.
He's called John,
but we call him Disco.
Goodness sake, what kind of character is he?
I was playing Mario Kart with my five-year-old niece
the other day.
You've gone from PUBG to Mario Kart?
Well, I was playing with my five-year-old niece, Pete.
I can't be taking her through headshots, can I, on PUBG.
Just fine.
Get her involved.
She could just pick up the drops.
She could actually.
Pick up the emergency drops.
Go to the care packages.
I was watching Super Mario Kart. Sorry, playing Super Mario Kart with her. She could actually. Pick up the emergency drops. Go to the care packages. I was watching Super Mario Kart,
sorry, playing Super Mario Kart with her.
She's pretty good at it.
And you know when you get a star?
Yeah.
And she called it,
she was Peach, obviously.
She likes Peach.
Every time she got a star,
she kept saying,
I'm Disco Peach.
I'm Disco Peach.
Which I thought was quite cute.
Anyway, this man,
who is presumably a gentleman in his 50s,
it has the nickname Disco John.
He was on an episode which was set in Bath,
but he didn't actually live in Bath.
And he said in the show,
when the other hosts were walking around his house,
they found a picture of him disco dancing back in the day,
hence the name Disco John.
It's all it takes.
This is how it worked, apparently.
At the start of the day,
he was told to place said picture in an obvious place
so the others can find it.
He also said that when the crew came to his house,
they set up their equipment and took down all the mirrors
in the house so you can't see reflections of the crew.
It's a really good point, that.
Didn't consider that, really.
Yeah, I guess so.
And it would preclude you from involving...
You could have vampire crew as well.
Yeah, could that work?
No, because you'd just see a camera float. Oh, you wouldn't see it. Actually, they, could that work? No, because you just see a camera floating.
Oh,
you wouldn't see it.
Yeah,
yeah.
Actually,
they're probably quite preferable,
wouldn't they?
Not if you've got blood on the menu.
Garlic.
Yeah,
true.
Mate,
they like blood.
I think vampires cannot be camera people
on Come Down With Me for many reasons.
My friend Tommy's been offered
the Come Down With Me job loads of times,
but he never takes it.
Right.
And it pisses me off,
to be honest.
It sounds like a bollock.
He does like a great
job where he basically
films football games
but normally
it's a locked off camera
he just watches the game
but do come and
die with me
at least do a couple of them
see what it'd be like
he said anyway
he said the camera crew
are quite obtrusive
or intrusive
I think that means
and you have to work
around them
rather than it being
the other way around
he likened the experience
to being on the set
of a porn film
yeah I'd have that.
He said they even make you plate up some of the food multiple times
so they could get their shots.
He said the crew tell the guests to pretend the food is still hot
even if it has cooled while they were getting their shots in.
Disco John was probably best known on the show for his love of ketchup.
And yes, the cupboard full of ketchup in this episode,
if you've seen it, is real.
It wasn't set up.
He also went on to win the show.
He never explained how he knew
what it was like
on the set of a porno
and I don't think
I want to know
porno John
many thanks
Sam Blackham
so I often thought
about the camera crew
on Come Dine With Me
because you know
if a camera crew
is making a show
where they have to
set it in a house
and this has happened
to me before
they knock on the door
on a particular street and say can we have a look in your house we're this has happened to me before. They knock on the door on a particular street and say,
can we have a look in your house?
We're looking for someone to shoot.
And they're normally looking,
and we used to live in a house,
me and a few of my friends,
and it was quite a big house,
but obviously we rented it because there was a few of us.
And we had people come to us quite a lot
because it was quite near central London.
And they're looking for houses
that are suitable for filming in.
Of course, for Come Die With Me, you can't do that.
Right, yeah.
Because you've got, I mean,
essentially you've got to do it in the house.
And some people's houses
are just small, right?
So it would be quite a difficult,
challenging thing to do.
Well, it would be quite challenging
to find like five people,
is it five people
who could be asked
to get involved
and I think if you found those people,
I think they should be ejected
from the town.
Yeah.
Do you want to come down with me?
Get the fuck out then,
you misanthrope.
I'd love to see you on it.
I wouldn't.
You know what I'd cook?
Something weird.
Yeah.
I'd have a crack at ramen.
Yeah, it would be a Japanese thing.
I'd look like a pervert.
I'd show me sword.
You say that.
Oh, we found a sword, Peter.
Oh, yeah, here's me fucking sword.
But you say that like it's the TV show's fault.
No, it's not.
I know.
I realise that.
I am a man who loves Japan.
I love going there. I love getting pissed not. It's your own fault. No, I realise that. I am a man who loves Japan. I love going there.
I love getting pissed there.
But just all the other accoutrement
and all the other kind of like
things that people think about
people who are obsessed with Japan,
it's not fair.
Because I'm a pervert
in so many different ways.
I'm a bigger pervert.
Like what?
Like what?
Computers?
Computers.
Yeah, just, you know,
I like stuff,
but I don't like anime or manga
or young women
yeah
what is that
old women
old women
yeah fair enough
but all I'm saying is
the show is only going to show you
for what you are
it's not making you a pervert
is it
no they will though
it'll go
Peter's a
40 year old
podcast producer
from Hartfordshire
da da da da da da da da da they'll be like little school girls running around year old podcast producer from Hertfordshire.
It'd be like little school
girls running
around going
hey hey
すごい
kawaii this.
Right.
Yeah true.
Never go on it
Pete.
No never go on it.
I'd look like a
problem.
Especially with
this moustache.
You would bring
this company
into this
review.
We would just
simply have to
insist that you
were not the
company.
Don't go in the garage
do the dinner in the garage
anyway
I've got nothing else to say
just get the fuck out of here
we've given them enough
shit
thanks for the emails
they were really good this week
I wish all the very best
to Chloe
in her educational choice
some would argue
not me
but some would argue
that if she's coming to us
for the decision
she might already be posted
surprised she got through school.
Yeah.
