The Luke and Pete Show - My dog ate my magic

Episode Date: July 4, 2022

Someone made the mistake of giving Pete the responsibility of working on a rum bar. It went just as well as you can imagine…We also hear whether Pete has learned a magic trick for Luke, before discussing Luke’s passion for animal documentaries and debating whether we can create an AI version of David Attenborough.

Oh yeah, I need to learn a magic trick, I forgot about that. I'm going to hold you to that. Ah, shit. Well, hello there. It's the Luke and Pete Show. It is Monday the 4th of July and you are quite welcome to it. I am Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by my erstwhile colleague, Mr. Lukey Murph. Lukey, what's been going on? Why have you got that on your head?

Have you got something to tell me? Because erstwhile colleague means that I'm no longer your colleague. Yeah, exactly. Well, you're not in the same room as me. True. We have to record remotely because I'm literally just this minute back from a wonderful trip to Belgium. Oh, adonku?

Say again? Hadonku? Is that thank you in... It might be Dutch, actually. I just remember being on a school trip in I think Bruges and the woman said Hadonku. Right. I thought it sounded funny. It's funny what the human brain remembers, isn't it?

It's mad, isn't it? Can't remember any important stuff, can you? No, I really can't. The Dutch language is a very interesting it? It's mad, isn't it? You can't remember any important stuff, can you? No, I really can't. The Dutch language is a very interesting thing. It's very difficult to work out, I reckon. But yeah, I was in Bruges. I was in Brussels for a bit. Then I went to Werchter Park to see Nick Cave.

Oh, nice. Cool. Yeah, and then I went to... My wife and I, the wife I have access to and I, went to Bruges. Now, you heard a bit of straining in my voice there, those listening. That's because I just took my socks off. So I tried to do it in the middle of making a point. Didn't really work.

I haven't got the same dexterity at bending over and taking my socks off as I had as a younger man. And I've learned that live on this show. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The beans are still sweet. Here we are. How was your weekend, Peter? What have you been up i'll tell you about belgium in a minute but i'd like to know what you've been up to because presumably as per thursday show you've spent the

whole weekend learning a magic trick that not only works for me visibly but it's going to work for our listeners audio only as well and we can't bloody wait well i think it's important for me to do the magic trick um while we're in the same room i think that's fair to say so i'm gonna wait until i'm gonna keep my powder dry and maybe there'll be powder involved i'll just see off three grams of cocaine but yeah maybe i'll sort of wait until we're in the same room and we can sort of film something for social also I forgot

can I also say Pete can I just ask a quick question was it Lola or Buckley what do you mean I said which dog ate your homework which one was it well Lola's Lola's just had a haircut very nice and my god she looks like a different dog.

Last time we gave her a haircut, like a couple of years ago now, it turns out that fur was hiding a multitude of fur, biscuity sins. Just like my beard. But this time around, she's felt, she's fighting fit, and she looks great for it, to be honest. She looks great, and she smells better.

Luke, turns out washing your pet makes them smell better who knew do you do you are you still paranoid about being the old smelly dog man uh yes yes i am but not paranoid enough to wash a dog uh it's not that's not in my uh in my wheelhouse so when does the threshold come i don't know i just think well if it's good if they've got visible shit in their hair, I'll go, all right, let's get rid. But whenever they roll in fox poo, I can never really smell it. My partner I have access to has a sort of sixth sense for the smell of fox poo,

but I'm not really sure what it smells like. Do you need a sixth sense? The ballpark of that is very much in one of the traditional five senses. Smell, right? Smell is the one that you need for that. Umami. It's got a very umami smell and taste. It's the fifth taste. That's been a lot of fun,

seeing a new dog running around the house. Oh, look, I did my first, at 41 years old, 41 years young, I did my first bit of bartending. Oh, my God. I've never worked in a bar before. Why would you not tell me this in advance?

I want to see the absolute buffoonery that would have gone on. The incorrect change being given, the pints with six-inch heads on them, the not knowing how to make a cocktail. It's all good stuff. It's all good stuff. But I think, I mean, I won't be doing it again because I think lost about 30 quids worth of rum on the floor.

I think very, very easily. So I'm at the Leon C Folk Festival that takes place every year in Leon C in a churchyard, which is where a lot of the stuff was going on. And my neighbour, Damien, we've talked about him before, he's the me that does stuff. Yeah, we know Damien. I have the ideas.

I usually buy something off eBay related to the idea, and then I just sit and watch it crumble before me. I never do anything about it. But Damien is a doer. He's a man who does stuff. And he's got his own rum company. And he was basically at the Lian Sea Folk Festival and he was making loads of rum drinks for everyone.

And I said I'd help out. So I popped down there and for a couple of hours I tended the bar. Except I didn't really tend the bar. I was auxiliary support for the bar. Except I didn't really tend the bar. I was auxiliary support for the bar. My responsibilities were filling up the bottles from big, massive, plastic containers. With a little valve on the front, you'd get a funnel and you'd get all the booze in the bottles.

Was that pure rum, was it that? Pure rum, dark rum, mixed rum, whatever rums it was. And there was loads of... This is a serious operation that Damon's got going on there. Massive. And I was basically filling up all these bottles with hooch. And I was making Bloody Marys with the Bloody Mary mix and a couple of shots of vodka.

And I was also making... He makes a bloody good Bloody Mary mix. a couple of shots of vodka. And I was also making, he makes a bloody good Bloody Mary mix, and the chocolate martinis, both of which involved two ingredients only. But I, so I'm basically chopping up limes, chopping up lemons, chopping up cucumbers and flakes and all sorts of stuff. And then I'm also tasked with filling up the gin bottles

and the vodka bottles and the rum bottles and that with a funnel. And I started the tap off. The vodka bottle has a long neck, as does the rum bottle. And when it reaches the thin part of the bottle, oh, it goes quick. Oh, it goes quick. That's physics, baby. And it went fucking everywhere. And it did not everywhere and it did

not stop it did not it just kept going and it was all over my hands and I had that kind of brain fart where you go how can I stop this

shall I move the bottle further away from the teat what I should have done was turn the tap off but I in my brain in my adult brain and to be fair

I'd got a little bit high off my own supply and I was pissed I was pissed i was pissed at the leon c fuck festival and honestly the i i the the the his business partner was looking at me looking at what i was doing and then looking back at me and i'm looking at her and i'm going i i don't i and and i and i lost about 30 quids worth of rum on the floor. As you were rolling around in that rum,

were you screaming to everyone, I run my own business! I run my own business, you know! This is outrageous. I guess podcasts you can turn off. You can edit after the event. You can't edit a load of rum off the floor. You can't edit 30 quids of rum back into the vat.

You can't do that. Did you say that to him as you were kind of wading through it knee deep? We'll edit this out later. Yeah, Damien's very sanguine about it. He did say that it's now become an environmental menace, that pool of rum on the floor. He's self-abusing himself. Do you think deep down was he upset with you?

Thing is, I don't know. I mean, the bottles of rum are like 30 quid each. Yeah. And I lost... Cracking on for a bottle of rum. Right. But that was payment for two hours' work, I think. Yeah, it's not much of a payment for you, is it?

No, not really. That's the thing. I think people think bartending's not much of a payment for you is it no not really that's the thing i think people think bartending is really good fun and that is like um coyote ugly or something but i think there's a lot of focus on wastage and spillage because like it's so the margins are so narrow these days right that that's what i heard from his business partner to one of as i was mopping it up and I was like, yeah, that's, they always say the margins are so thin and I'm fairly certain that was for my direction.

Bloody hell. Like, stop spilling rum on the floor, you dickhead. Yeah. Was it a good folk festival generally, though? It was a good folk festival. A band turned up

that I took umbrage with almost immediately for being a load of fucking nerds uh and that's not that's not the vibe for a folk festival i think when a band turns up on stage uh and they are basically i took against them because they're all fucking posh they all say they live in birmingham every last one of them had a sort of plummy accent probably in actually live in birmingham livington spa or something well they they said said Birmingham and they had a song about Spaghetti Junction uh that's like people who knows anything about Birmingham would say isn't it and

I'll be happy I'm happy to go on record right here right now I don't like Birmingham so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna defend it but I mean if the first thing you think of if you don't know Birmingham presumably is Spaghetti Junction, right? No, I would say the Bullring, weirdly. I go out, you know, it's one of the, I think it's the second most popular night out for Pete Donaldson

and university friends, I think. It's a nice place to kind of... You're not at university anymore, Pete. You're not at university anymore. It just reminds me of the Alan Partridge quote where he says when he marvels at the Spaghetti Junction saying all the engineers, all the architects all the workers taking X amount of years

just to ensure that drivers don't have to go into Birmingham solid stuff so this band turned up and they were kind of like oh god a blue grassy kind of folksy wank. It was just... They had a drummer.

They had a bassist. Now, let me... So far, so traditional. Stop me when this sounds wank, right? Violinist. They had a... God, what did that girl play play they had a guitarist at the back yeah what did the girl in front play i think she played the clarinet bang then yeah that's it and the lead singer played a recorder no no now you do not get away with playing a recorder past 10 unless you are a band geek and I just took against them because they

were very posh and you know my feelings on on posh people I am pathetic I realized that I I that's something I've got to deal with myself and get over but uh I just found them a little bit too uh vanity projecty for me was it was it was it a little bit like vanity project-y for me. Was it a little bit like... Did it smack off the people who... The type of people... And I'm not going to use the language you viewed because I think that's unhelpful. But is it the type of people who, like,

they don't really need to be doing this, but they haven't got any money worries, so they can just do what they want, right? Yes. Okay, I think we can all agree, no matter what your accent accent's like i think we can all agree that's not great for society no and and but i think that's kind of why we've got certain people um top of the charts uh in and i was chatting to i've worked really hard actually i've worked really hard what are you looking at me for who's that geordie lad uh sam fender he sort of said that he he only got his brick because he uh because his

manager managed somebody uh good last time around and he was able to sort of invest that money and stuff and so you get a certain sort of people get person get into music these days because they don't have those money worries and you can see it from the the the singer-songwriters you see in das hit a parade And I know I'm pathetic to sort of, when I hear a band full of plumbies, I sort of take against them because that's not fair. But they've

clearly, in my mind, been able to get away with playing quite esoteric Greek kind of wedding music on the recorder for five years. That just sounds arrogant and indulgent. It doesn't say anything

to do with their background. It just sounds like he's a bit of a burk. I mean, there's plenty of burks who are working class as well, you know. That is true.

I think with the music industry, it's difficult because I've worked in it so I know a little bit about it. Back in the day, it was people who would get things like

the welfare would be a lot more considerable people would be able to the grants for university students that kind of stuff so people could could kind of at least experiment a bit when they're young with things they're really passionate about which ultimately i think is a very good thing now there are other people who would say that's a you know that's a drain on society and it shouldn't be the public money and all the rest of it and those people are are kind of you know obviously entitled to their opinion but i i feel like in society generally these days we are a society now who knows the price of everything yet the value of nothing right so artistic endeavor

cultural stuff that actually enriches everybody's lives whether that be the bbc or what we're talking about here that's like actually really important shit and it isn't about boiling down the bbc to 56p a day and i don't actually watch this and i don't want like it's not about that it's about like a communal project it's about culture it's about a society it's about the value of something as opposed to the price of it and to me it frustrates me when people always apply the price to everything all the time well especially when the yardsticks that they use to beat the BBC, like your Netflixes and your HBOs and stuff, like Netflix in particular,

hasn't turned a profit yet. It's also completely fucking bullshit. It's taken a million years to do it as well. It's apples and oranges. Like, how much great radio? How much great website? How much great news? How much great weather?

How much all this other stuff? How much of that you get from Netflix? It's ridiculous. You don you get from Netflix it's ridiculous you don't get anything from it so I mean that's a completely false didn't Boris Johnson

compare the NHS the modern NHS to Netflix the other day but it's just a fucking word soup yeah it's mad it's kind of like he shouts these things

and then just ignore the fact I'm doing this and that we live in a cacistocracy Peter where the least suitable people to run the country actually run it. It's mad. It's a crazy thing.

I think, as I've said before, I think it's merely a kleptocracy and people just fucking stealing and fucking portioning off bits of their fucking mates. I think anyone, also, I think, sorry to take this more earnest, but I think on a more serious note, I think anyone that's seen you rolling around

in your friend's rum over the weekend would see that you are much more fit to get stuck into all this important shit, right? Do you know what? People are going to feel I'm taking the piss here, but I'm not. I'd bloody love to see you run a big arm at the BBC. Yeah.

I think you're super creative. I think you've got lots of really great ideas. A lot of it would be niche and not really enjoyed by that many people. But I'll tell you what I'd give you, Pete. I'd bloody well give you BBC Three. I'd give you BBC Three now. I thought you'd be great at BBC Three.

You're not having Radio 4, right? Why not? You're not having Radio 4. That's what you need. You can have BBC Three. Pete Donaldson on Radio 4, back again. They'll say it's the return. I'm like the prodigal son,

literally the son that comes home. Pete Donaldson died some years ago. Pete Donaldson's back on Radio 4. That'll be the big tagline. It's a different person, crucially, isn't it? It is a different person, crucially. It's just the same name. And the Radio 4 listeners are very clever, so they'll know that.

I'll tell you what I'll compromise on. I'll give you, you can have BBC 3, and you can run that as much as you want. Just do what you want. Here's your budget, do what you want. I'll give you, you can have BBC 3 and you can run that as much as you want. Just do what you want. Here's your budget, do what you want. I'll give you, the BBC will do a hostile takeover of D-Max and you can have your continuity on that.

Okie dokie, cool. And I'll also give you your own section of the website. You can do a BBC 4 chat. I'll tell you what, the D-Max has started branching out into a lot more animal stuff, which I'm very much enjoying.

And I think you'd enjoy it as well. Oh, yeah? There's a programme just about sloths. Meet the sloths, they say. Meet the sloths, Luke. I'm up for it. The problem is I find... I do love animal documentaries.

And I know that you kind of roll your eyes when I'm talking about animals. I do love animals. And I know you only like gibbons really and chimps. But I do have a cut off. I'm not really that into insects. Right. I'm not really that into what I would call, I'm not really into flora as much.

I'm more the mega fauna. I'm a bit of a basic bitch. You're like a big mushroom. Not really. I'll tell you what I love. If you show me like a a documentary episode about that um that shrimp at the bottom of the ocean it does that sonic boom with its claw and kills all the animals i like all that kind of stuff yeah i like how nature's been like completely fucking

twisted by evolution i like that kind of weird so they've got to do something sexy yeah i'm not that bothered about the kind of mating habits of sloths to be honest because it takes everything just takes so long to happen. It's too slow paced for me. Right. Okay. I think, I think if I was in charge of the BBC,

I'd definitely be looking. I mean, there's a lot of people, isn't there kind of, in my view, quite tragically positioning themselves to be the new David Attenborough, because they expect him to, you know,

nature's going to run its course at some point. Oh, do you reckon that's a thing? Yeah, of course it is. Definitely. But they've kind of crafted that. So in many ways, they make these personalities, the BBC,

and then they sort of craft a sort of succession sort of question where there doesn't really need to be one. You can just have competing. No, but I think the egos of all the presenters means that they kind of make their own field and it's kind of a self-fulfilling thing. But on that note, actually, I don't know if you'd know more about this than me,

I wonder if you actually even need one. And you've just said that, but I'm saying it for a slightly different reason, which is that I think there's probably so much David Attenborough material over 70 years now that could you just run an AI on it? Well, run an AI on his voice, certainly. Because most of the stuff these days isn't done in a vision anyway.

So just go out there, get those talented and very patient camera people to film what they need to film, and then write the script and then just have... Or an impressionist. I mean, who needs an AI? Just have an impressionist. Give the impressionist a bit of a job. Yeah, a friend of mine is a...

Yeah, that could work. I mean, I think an AI would work. I think the public would probably accept that because all you want is those tones, don't you, over the vision? And like you say, he doesn't do InVision stuff now. But a friend of mine is a very well-respected cameraman in his field. Yeah. And he does sport and he gets loads of work

to the point where he turns down work all the time because he doesn't want to do it all. Yeah. And he gets paid well. Anyway, he started out wanting to be a nature cameraman because he's been... Well, he was in his field, like you said. Yeah, exactly.

He wasn't literally in a field. His big passion is birds, right? He's an ornithologist. Right. And he said that when he was kind of setting out to do his role, to do his thing, he's chatting to a nature cameraman who said that he'd just come back from Africa or whatever and he had been up a tree um up a tree for almost two weeks right with his food

being sent up in a bucket and then his his shit being sent down another bucket right waiting for the migration of this particular flock of birds and they eventually came yeah but you have to be ready on tenterhooks for that amount of time to catch it. And that's basically what nature camera work is. It's just waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. Do you have like a, are you allowed to listen to music?

I think you've got to have all your senses about you. It's not going to go down well, is it? I've missed it. I missed the shot because the mad caddies have got a new album out. You can't say that. It's like basically being a nature cameraman

is like listening to an episode of the Football Ramblin' waiting for me to do a funny joke. It's just waiting and waiting and waiting. Once every two weeks

you might get a passable one. The thing is with the camera work as well, those cameras are pretty complicated, right? So you've got to have everything on point, ready to go, mate.

Yeah, agreed. Anyway, should we have a break? Should we've got to have everything on point, ready to go, mate. Yeah, agreed. Anyway, should we have a break? Should we take a break? Should we take a break? Send our effluvia down the tree and get some dinner sent up, a bit of steak and eggs What would you have if you were up a tree for a week?

Steak and eggs? I want to be backed up like you wouldn't fucking believe. You'd be egg-bound. Egg-bound? You'd be egg bound. Egg bound. You'll be egg bound, mate. People have that problem, don't they, when they go on holiday and they can't pass anything because they're egg bound. I don't know why.

Egg bound. Lovely. Anyway, on that bombshell, let's get out of here and come back in a couple of minutes where we'll probably do some more of this inane chat and we might squeeze an email in. But we've been bad at that recently. We've got to address that at some point.

Bad boys. What are you going do nothing i'm back with luke peach show and uh i hope you enjoyed that ad break i hope nothing offended you uh look you're talking about uh insects a little earlier on i and my partner i've access to were sat in sat in our garden and uh no word of a fucking lie the world's smallest hummingbird came down and started fucking with the plants started going really um it was absolutely tiny except it wasn't actually a hummingbird it was the hummingbird hawk moth uh right because i was about to say there's never been a hummingbird observing the yuk. I'm pretty sure of that.

Well, there you go. It was a hawk moth. So it's just a gigantic moth that resembles a hummingbird and it sort of just hovers about and it was just chomping on the lavender, sniffing the lavender and getting the shit out of the lavender. It was fucking brilliant. Isn't that an amazing thing?

Evolution has learnt that. Yeah. That's incredible. So basically it's a moth that apes the behaviour of a hummingbird and to the point it's so good at it that you thought it was a hummingbird. Is that right? Yeah. It really looked like a tiny little bird. I said that's not an insect.

That's just not an insect. Yeah. That is unbelievable. I've never heard of them before. I've seen them. I saw a really beautiful purple blue um butterfly when i was um out in the countryside maybe about a month and a bit ago when i was having my bathroom done and i um almost had a meltdown because it was just too much pressure and too much stress and i found a beautiful i saw a beautiful butterfly in the field there and it actually made me think you know what life, life's not too bad. And then I looked online and it was,

I think it was literally called the common blue butterfly or something. Everyone sees it all the time and I'd never seen one before. Well, you know my feelings on moths. I usually, if it's a small clothes moth

or carpet moth, he's getting a splattering, I'm afraid, because I have a zero tolerance. It's the only insect I'll kill. I have a zero tolerance. That's a poor decision. What do you mean insect I'll kill. I think that's poor by you. That's a poor decision. What do you mean?

I think you can go... I would go... This is going to be a political hot potato for some of our listeners. Blue bottle? I don't mind blue bottle. I'll kill a fly. I'll kill a mosquito.

I'll kill a wasp. I'd kill a mosquito. All right, fine. But if it's in England, I mean, how much blood are you realistically going to get out of me? And... No, wasp. Wasps, I used to be absolutely shit-cark-scared about.

And these days, I don't... They're not as aggressive as I sort of imagined them when I was a kid because it's the only thing I've ever been stung by. I am still floating around in the estuary slash sea in Chalkwellwell just down the road from me when i take the dogs for a walk i'll sometimes jump in the jump in the water for a giggle and um and i'm constantly sort of looking around almost hoping against hope that i'm going to get stung by a jellyfish that occasionally sort of rocks up because simply i uh think i need to know what that feels like, if you know what I mean? Like, I'm always scared of jellyfishes

when I get in the water, and I just want to be stung by one so I know what it feels like, so I'm not fearful. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't do that if I were you, particularly not in other countries, because that could be,

genuinely could be fatal. Portuguese man o' war. Yeah. I've got a bit, first of all, just on the moth thing very quickly, because I've got a bit of childhood trauma based around wasps which I'll tell you about in a second

if you're one of those people who believe God created all the animals, right, I mean he didn't but some people do believe that the first thing I'd be asking God is why do you appear to have made moths out of sand yeah, I'm sure there's a very easy explanation for

why they're so dusty but when you they're pretty much a powder yeah they just go down to nothing i wonder what that um what that remember that maybe that powder is like pollen dust i don't know i don't know what it is on there maybe yeah maybe they are dusters maybe they're nature's dusters and they're doing you a very big favor but obviously they'll eat through your clothes anyway the childhood trauma around wasps which made me really frightened of wasps um until i became a fully grown adult which might the wife i have access to would argue that that happened in about 2020 um is that um so i was at a i think it was like a barbecue summer party or something a friend of mine i was about probably about 10 maybe a bit older maybe certainly no older than 12 and um

my friend uh his uncle had made a load of money he was a builder right so you i think i've bought everyone my you know my um impeccable working class credentials yet again but there was a friend of mine on my street he lived a few doors down whose uncle had made loads of money as a builder like proper like working class guy done good and he had this mad house like looking back on that was mad it was like a proper i've got loads of money i don't really know what to do with it because you know people say you have to learn to be rich you know i mean he just done everything because he was a builder as well he just every he's just done everything in his house and he had this big swimming pool in the back garden so it's like an amazing thing to be invited to this um to this house and um so we

went down for this summer party there's loads of kids they're playing the pool and there's loads of adults and the guy whose house it was um i just remember there'd be a load of commotion around him to my right hand side at the other side of the garden around whether i guess where the barbecue was or whatever the food was and there's a load of commotion. He was on his knees, doubled up on his knees, in really big trouble. And I didn't really know much about much at that age. And I thought maybe, I guess maybe I thought he was having a heart attack or whatever.

But anyway, what turned out was, and then the ambulance came and everything. What turned out was, he had taken a swig of his can of beer and there was a wasp in it and it got trapped in it right and the wasp had stung him on the inside of the throat so basically his throat was

starting to swell and I don't think the trachea is actually that big or I don't know if it would be the trachea or the esophagus at that point or whatever it's not actually that big I don't think so when it swells a little bit it's really bad news so he had to get cut to hospital anyway it turns out he was fine but you know that's i was exactly the right kind of age um where that kind of thing which sounds like an urban myth and sounds like something that would it's the same thing the reason you'd be

scared of like quicksand as a kid but to actually see it in person was actually quite traumatizing because it was like the late 80s slash early 90s, no one gave a shit about that, they were just like oh yeah anyway get on with your day or go home or whatever, no one really talked about it again but it was actually really frightening yeah but how quick does he put can to lip that's what I mean, like absolutely

because the wasp was inside the can yeah I know but do you think that like the liquid being sort of aggravated would sort of mean that the, maybe it sort of got it got surprised and got encapsulated by the liquid? Yeah, and also I believe I'm right in saying that wasps can actually sting you for a large amount of time after they're dead. So it's not like a bee. A bee basically removes half its own body when it stings you, right?

Wasps can do it. I think that stinger on a wasp remains active for quite a long time. So the wasp may have even been dead and he just caught it. It did me on the waltzes. That's the only time I've ever been stung. I was on the waltzes. What are the chances of that happening?

And where did it sting you? On the arm. It was stood on my arm and then it stung me and flew off. Is it actually that bad? Say again? From memory, no, I don't think it was. Yeah, it was weird.

But I just think I need to be... I've not been stung since I was like eight, so I just need to be stung again. I'm absolutely delighted that we found something you're not allergic to. I know, right? Because you are in the right of the Venn diagram as someone who'd be allergic to wasp stings. Yeah, exactly.

Apparently... I probably wouldn't be now, to be fair. I think, apparently, according to the internet, the powder on a moth is actually tiny scales made from modified hairs. So they... Lepidopteria. Lepidopterist is someone who loves butterflies, right?

Which means scale wing. So these wings are all scaly, basically. Yeah, okay. There you go. All right. Peter, should we leave? Yeah. I think that's probably that, isn't it? Yeah, okay. Alright. Peter, should we leave? Yeah. I think that's probably that, isn't it? Yeah, I think so.

There's a better party somewhere else than you, Pete Donaldson, so let's go to another one. As always, hellotolookpeachshow.com is our email address. You can get in touch on Twitter. We've also got an Instagram if you fancy it, mate. Lookpeachshow. Yeah, and I think on that note, because we were... Sorry to interrupt you there, Peter, but obviously we're not in the same room,

so there's a little bit of a delay. I apologise. That's not my rudeness for once. I would say this, because we're getting quite, what's the opposite of diligent? Undiligent at reading people's emails. What might be nice is

if people do email hello at lukeandbeechoff.com with any particular topic or subject they want us to talk about, and then we can fold them into the process a little bit more smoothly, right? That works. So we'll still read some people's emails and all that kind of stuff when we get to it, but if you've got a particular subject or topic you want us to talk about, maybe just email in on that, and we'll give you a name, a shout-out,

and we'll say, look, so-and-so wants us to talk about this, and then it'll be a little bit smoother, I reckon. Yes. Are we the only show that kind of works this out as we go and we never get there by the end never never this will change what change i'm on again it's three weeks time but that's it we keep you guessing that's the great beauty of it and i would i cannot um leave the show peter without saying to all my american family and all our american listeners happy fourth jth July. Happy Thanksgiving. No. Is that what Joe Biden said?

Probably. So, but I must wish them happy 4th July and all that good stuff and I hope you have a lovely day and yeah, we'll see you again on Thursday, right?

All right, yeah. Peace out. See you Thursday. Ta-ta. the luke and pete show is a stack production and part of the acast creator network
