It's Monday the 26th of September
I can't help that
You can't help that
But what you can help is
Listening to the Little Peach Show every week
Because we just talk about all kinds of stuff
What's been happening in politics, news, social affairs
Sexuality
Three of those we never talk about Yeah we do in politics, news, social affairs, sexuality.
Three of those we never talk about.
Yeah, we do.
We're always yapping on about woke liberal agendas.
Yeah, it's true, actually.
Go woke, go broke, baby.
I'm speaking of that, actually.
Go woke, go broke.
We've had a really interesting email on that,
which will come later if we remember.
If this is your first time listening to the Luke and Pete show, I wouldn't take into account anything we say it's coming up later because we invariably forget i'm luke moore true that's pete
donaldson aka the pete and for those of you who are fans of the date of monday 26th september let
me give you a little philip a little philip to get stuck into okay um no one uses the word philip in
that way do they but it is it is legitimate is it it just means like a little morsel a little morsel
what way did it come from what's the genesis i can't use it unless i know the genesis um It is legitimate. Is it? It just means like a little morsel. A little morsel? F-I-L-I-P.
Where did it come from?
Where's the genesis?
I can't use it unless I know the genesis.
The genesis of it is sat on this morning sofa with Holly.
Give us it then.
Well, my friend, this is going to be even worse than it was already going to be after that build-up.
I had a friend
at school called Ewan.
I don't think he listens actually. But if he does
listen, hello to you Ewan. He now lives up in
Scotland. He's a volunteer firefighter and a
lovely fella.
Is that a job?
Volunteer firefighter. He also works
in the oil industry.
Just to atone for his oil industry
sins probably.
I guess all oil does is burn.
Yes, I think...
He's kind of trying to get parity
on how much oil he burns.
I think he did say to them
when he said,
look, I'll volunteer,
but I'm only going to oil fires.
I've nothing to do
with the chip pan fire.
That's not my watch.
No, different oil.
Anyway, I lost touch with him
when I was about 14.
He moved up to Scotland
and he was one of my best friends and uh i remember the last time i ever saw him
was um we were it's just such a kind of famous five enid blyton type story not right not in a
racist way um because we know about her problems um where i um we were out tree climbing in a
little park near us and he was like oh i've got to go now i've got
to be owned by this time i think we're about 13 or 14 and the last ever saw him was him riding off
on his bike anyway got back in touch on the other social medias um and we both left our wives for
each other and so no i'm joking and and we went out for dinner in town about maybe just before
the pandemic and it was great to catch up with him. We had a steak
at the Hoxton Hotel
in Holborn
at a lovely old time.
He's doing well.
He's got a lovely family now.
I'm doing okay
and his birthday
was on the 26th of September
so I always remember it.
Really?
That's how we're
starting the show.
Even for us,
that's poor.
That is not even
the ballpark
of being interesting to anyone other than you.
I think the listeners will be the judge.
And Ewan's not listening.
It sounds like Ewan is listening.
I promised him that.
Listen to this one, I'll definitely mention you.
It's like the neighbour was listening to D-Max and he heard my voice.
And I was like, I'll try and put the word
Neil into one of the links.
I can't.
Nobody's called Neil
that's ever been featured
on a D-Max show.
Well,
kneel down in respect
for Ice Road Truckers
coming next.
Kneel down.
I could squeeze it in there.
Thank you, Lucas.
No problem.
It's almost a bit like
when we first started
working with Mason
and she was on Sky Sports News.
And every time she was on live,
we would always message her in the group on the ad break
trying to get her to do stuff on the telly.
Vish was the worst for it.
Vish was the worst.
He kept messaging her.
Vish wanted her to, and I quote,
put your laptop on its side.
I don't know why.
Like a book.
It's a weird flex by Vish, isn't it?
I don't know why. Like a book. It's a weird flex by Vish, isn't it? I don't know why he's like that.
I was reading his cricket book that he ghostwrote.
You don't even like cricket.
I like Vish.
Is it about Ben Stokes?
Isn't it Mark Wood's book?
Mark Wood, that's it, yeah.
I haven't even read it and you don't even know what it's about.
Yeah, but it's all all about he barely talks about himself
he talks about other cricketers and the banter that they have and and and tips for getting you
know getting through a life as a cricket cricketer i guess and but what the thing got me was you know
like and like um autobiographies there's always like a little um sliver of um colored paper or
black and white paper um and where you have the photographs and stuff. We didn't have that
in our book, did we?
No.
Did they not afford us
that luxury?
They wouldn't let us
have any photos of those.
Remember, they kept them
about it.
It was too, like,
oh, Jesus.
That would have cost
them money.
They were proven correct.
And the pictures
that he's chosen,
because he's a cricketer,
like, they're just
universally boring
because they're just cricketers having they're just universally boring because they're just
cricketers having lunch
and stuff
great book
terrible pictures
is this a review
of your friend
and colleague's book
that you are deciding
to tell people
to not buy
I didn't say that
I literally bought it
I've got skin in this game
I enjoyed the book
I am enjoying the book
even though
I don't know
about cricket
I frankly don't know
what they're talking about
what?
what's your favourite part then?
oh he talks about the cricket ball hitting the bat really hard I don't know about cricket. I frankly don't know what they're talking about. What? What's your favourite part then? Oh, he talks about the cricket ball hitting the bat really hard.
I don't know.
Nice and sounded sport.
I know.
It is nice, though, isn't it?
Mind you, we were at the best ball in New York last week, weren't we?
We should definitely come onto that because, essentially,
we must give a little bit of continuity for our listening community
and our Luke and Peter family because the last time people would have heard from us peter it would have been in a new york hotel room which we later
worked out that because you were in room 501 that's why the levi's thing was on the wall which
is pleasing wait i mean we worked out you worked i worked it out and uh but not in time for the
show obviously no um later on that's why i do all my best work when the situation's over.
And the last we heard,
I was about to fly home,
which of course I did.
And we're now both back in,
well, I'm in London,
you're in Essex.
And you were about to go up
to Newark Airport.
This is like last week
on the Luke and Pete show.
You were about to go up
to Newark Airport
to rent a car
and for no reason at all
drive to Philadelphia.
Now, I told my father-in-law
the great lc about that on the phone yesterday and he said in no uncertain terms you should not
do that because philadelphia is terrible and the drives awful but but his experience will be very
different to yours he's an older guy. He's a Native American.
He's not a Native American.
That's a big shout.
He's the American man.
A race limp.
Yeah, he's used to all that kind of stuff.
But it might have been novel and new and interesting to you and I think our listeners would love to hear
about your solo, inexplicable
road trip to Philadelphia.
Take it away.
So I picked up the car at Newark Airport about your solo inexplicable road trip to Philadelphia. Take it away. I just did it.
Well, so I picked up the car at Newark Airport,
which is in New Jersey, I believe.
And that took a long time to get there.
I picked up the car,
never driven on the right-hand side of the road,
never driven a left-hand side car. And even though I'd ordered the smallest car possible
and literally asked for the smallest car possible yeah and literally asked
for the smallest car possible they gave me what they probably think is the smallest car possible
that is at least three times the size of my fiat 500 like it was fucking massive massive it was
and uh and i'll tell you what though i had all the mod cons, and I needed the mod cons frequently.
What were the top three mod cons?
Blind spot little lights that come up when a car's just coming up your bum.
That's great.
It is good.
Rear camera was useful.
That took me back to my driving test.
And at one point, a car started rolling towards me on a hill.
Nothing to do with me.
The car screamed, pre-collision alert, pre-collision alert.
And I was like, what?
You felt like fucking Jean-Luc Picard.
Fuck.
I couldn't believe it.
I was so weird.
But it was fucking massive.
You averted the collision, presumably.
I did avert the collision by doing literally nothing because I couldn't do anything.
I was in forward.
And it didn't even have a fucking gear stick.
It had a little dial
that went from parking to reverse to drive.
And I was like,
whoa, this is such a fucking future car.
And all the fucking chairs were on little buttons
rather than levers and wheels and stuff.
It was just...
This car's got chairs.
This car's got chairs, mother.
But yeah, what a ride.
So you drove to Philadelphia in your new...
Is it made you be tempted to buy a kind of newer, more swanky car yourself?
Well, I guess because I've been in swanky cars.
And actually, I got in Philadelphia because I had a beer down the road.
And I was like, oh, I've got to go to bed now.
But I've walked too far and I'm really tired and jet lagged so i'm gonna go uh i'm gonna go to bed and uh i um
uh i had a bit of food in the chinese and then i'll be and then went home and i got another
chinese yeah yeah i got an uber uh that was a, was it Philadelphia?
Actually, it might have been somewhere else that I went.
Anyway, got an Uber,
and it was one of those fucking Tesla things.
And I've never been in a Tesla before,
and fucking hell,
like, he went,
I went, whoa, this is a Tesla.
I've never been on this before.
Do you want to see how fast it'll go?
I went, yes.
And he just absolutely fucking panned it down the road. I had exactly the same situation,
and it was frightening.
How fast and instant it is frightening how fast that instant it is
how fast instant
and fucking
uh quiet it
you know what I
say smooth it is
it just goes
I felt like
I felt like
doing a Jeremy
Clarkson like
and put my
bowels in my
back pocket
in the Laguna
like it was it was surprisingly that happened to me on a
quite late at night in a tesla uber i got in london and and there must be a thing they do
were they just so proud of how fast it is that's the first thing he said to me as well when i said
that is that is that no so do you reckon clarkson's probably bang into the electric cars now because
because of that feeling because all they talk about on that show is,
oh, the acceleration, how fast it goes.
But fundamentally, that is like fucking...
Like, that's a big selling point.
It goes really fast, really quickly.
So Clarkson's an interesting character, isn't he?
Because he's now a little bit...
He's not fully kind of gone, you know,
the late Anita Roddick, God rest her.
But he is like a lot more environmentally conscious now
because of that farm he's got
and that TV series he had.
I think he's,
I think you can only be a right-wing grifter
for so long, I think.
Obviously, he's probably bigger than that.
The usual kind of Piers Morgan-y kind of thing.
But I think the men who made their cultural capital
from being just
fucking taking a sideways glance at those yeah it's always a sideways glance whenever we had
like pr copy for the ramble they always try and put that in there you like to stop fucking put
it in there and the sconce glancing a sconce yeah yeah on on the clarkson grift there's a couple of
things i think on that. I would say that,
and Piers Morgan's another one of these,
as much as you don't like to hear it,
I mean, Piers Morgan especially,
isn't especially right wing.
He's not, he's like a- No, he's right wing,
but he's always talking about fucking lefties and-
No, but that's the thing,
because the landscape has changed,
not him, I think.
So with him and Clarkson, I would say,
if you've got a landscape which is here,
and they were on the right of it, it's shifted like that so much.
But he's talking, but he's on the right side of the gunda bit.
But he's on the right side, but not as in the right and left,
as in the right or wrong side, you mean?
Yeah, but all his output for the longest time was this kind of like,
fucking, you can't say anything these days.
I mean, that was his full fucking shtick.
Seriously, you can't say anything these days.
You can't say anything these days.
You and I are limited to literally a maximum of probably three hours of content a week now because you can't say anything these days.
You can't say anything these days.
I would say, look, I've got no love for Morgan. I think he's a bellend. And I have got no love for Morgan
I think he's a bellend
and I have slightly more
love for Clarkson, I've never been a big Jeremy Clarkson
guy, I really enjoy Clarkson
as far as I said on this show when it came out and I watched
it, I think Clarkson's probably got a
lot more in his locker than
people think and I think he just
plays to the crowd too often
but I do think he's a thoughtful
quite a thoughtful person and also I think he just plays to the crowd too often. But I do think he's a thoughtful,
quite a thoughtful person.
And also I think,
you know,
realistically,
Pete,
there is,
I think there is some truth in what I'm saying,
chiefly because if you go to the kind of mid to late nineties and talk about these guys,
you're totally right.
But now you've got big influencers on TikTok,
some of whom are saying literally things like seriously saying stuff like
women shouldn't have jobs and stuff,
which is,
I mean, the nineties was not about that at all. 90s was the opposite to that and it's so what i'm saying
is the landscape has changed because people have lost their minds and these guys are all just old
guys aren't they who just you know a bit set in their ways which i think is probably yeah even
they won't step over that uh no step over some of those lines they're kind of contributors to society
rather than
but it's taken
you know we've talked about
that fucking kickboxer guy
before
it took
the internet
and social media
just takes it to its
kind of
nadir really
doesn't it
it's kind of like
someone has to be
shoutier and more angry
and more outspoken
than everyone else
but the problem
with the internet
is there's no barriers
so any old fucking
maniac can do it so
you do get these absolute
bloody mad men
doing this stuff
but yeah so
before you move on from that
I might as well just bring this email in now we'll come back to you
in a second there's an email here about Andrew Tate
from our friend Harry who's emailed in saying
this is really interesting because this could
be a real plot twist
Harry
says hi guys while on holiday I managed
to catch up with all my outstanding Luke and Pete
episodes and when needing something
to listen to while by the pool
I decided to restart
Luke and Pete show from the beginning
during the early days as far back as episode
15 I noticed
you had an email from an Andrew Tate
who emailed in to talk about Eastern Europe.
Having seen him all over TikTok and knowing what we now know,
this is where he lives.
Can this be a coincidence, Harry?
Whoa.
That's mad, isn't it?
Right.
Now, that's in the runner.
Have we got, have we got,
I don't have the longing for looking at your email
have we like looked into this i'm looking i i i have i have looked into it uh first of all before
i get into it i want to know you're not an internet sleuth like me luke you need my special skills
yeah no i know but i i i i'm not suggesting that i can deliver what you deliver um but um i'd like
to get your initial thoughts because i do have the email from
one andrew tate right and does it start i am a problematic kickboxer oh i'm pleased i'm pleased
that you but you hosting the show aren't ladies um so interestingly enough like obviously i can't
give his email address away but there is a birth year in the email address
which is 1983 come on which sounds about right and i mean we're like not surely he's got kickboxing
records so it'll have his uh his address 1983 1986 oh is it okay and also because the other
thing is that um he mentions that he went to university in Liverpool.
Yeah, okay.
Stop there then.
Yeah.
So I suspect it probably isn't him.
And then the more I think about it, the more I think it's probably quite a common name.
And so we should just forget it.
Yeah.
And also, Andrew Tate's full name is Emery Andrew Tate III.
Of course it is.
And I would love...
His dad was the first
black grandmaster
chess player.
What?
This is wild.
Look at how
his grandson...
Did you say grandfather?
Good God.
No, his grandson or...
No, his dad.
His dad was a...
That's amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
Do you see that chess scandal that's happening at the moment? Oh, the bum. It's mad. No, I dad. His dad was a... That's amazing. Absolutely amazing. Do you see that chess scandal that's happening at the moment?
Oh, the bum.
It's mad.
No, I'm done, as Finchie said in the office.
Before I give people the actual stories,
you want to give people your interpretation of the story.
He died about...
I'd say his dad died during a tournament,
a chess tournament, about seven years ago.
That's probably why why something's gone mental
maybe he's just
a bit
you know
caught up about it
yeah
what about the chess story
though Peter
say again
sorry yeah
chess story
yeah
it's got to disappear
a bit of reverie there
it's almost like
no one else is around
there was this
there was
there was
somebody
we started putting
wrestling videos
up on YouTube with Mark Haynes there's excellent stuff from putting wrestling videos up on YouTube
with Mark Haynes
there's excellent stuff
from our wrestling podcast
on the wrestling pod
wrestling the YouTube
and there was
a
there was just a really
nice
wrestler
back in the day
and
he
he would just
he would just
spend his time
with the boys
going around the country
and he'd have like a he'd take two suitcases with him.
One with his own stuff and then the other suitcase would be filled
with deodorant and socks and stuff like that.
Right.
For the other lads in case they ran out of deodorant and stuff.
It's like...
It's just like...
It's so lovely.
And I've just sort of got a little bit lost.
It's kind of, what?
Where's he come from?
Bobby Eaton, the wrestler.
Yeah, I know.
He died not that long ago.
And he died a month after his wife.
And I think that cut me up a little bit.
He's just a really pure soul.
Like, everyone loved wrestling him.
Everyone loved him because he just had deodorant in his bag all the time for them.
And it just reminded me of that.
A man dying during a Tet Chess tournament
and his son going off the rails
a bit. Maybe he needs a pass.
Maybe he needs to be given a pass. Demented
idiot.
Yeah. I think we need to take an ad break
there.
Because
that was
absolutely bizarre.
That was like off the rails stuff.
Can I blame this on jet lag four days later?
Let's take a break.
When we come back, we're going back to Philadelphia
and I will get your opinion on that fucking chess story,
which is brilliant.
I'd like to shove a lot of beads up his arse
and promise to play naked.
We've got to cover it.
You didn't put beads up his arse.
Beads.
It's the Luke and Pete show.
Beads, boys and batteries is what we're doing.
It's Monday and so we might squeeze in an email,
but first...
We already did one earlier.
Fucking hell, how much do they want?
All right, fine.
Okay, chess tournament.
Man puts anal beads allegedly up his bum.
He has been accused of putting anal beads up his bum.
I mean, the thing is though, right, up his bum. He has been accused of putting anal beads up his bum. I mean, the thing is, though, right,
he was in this chess tournament,
and he beat the bloke who does modelling and stuff,
like the famous...
Magnus Carlsen.
Carlsen. He beat Carlsen, didn't he?
Which is a surprise, because...
And because he, this chess guy,
admitted to cheating on chess.com when he was a teenager,
everyone just assumed that he just wasn't up to beating
Carlsen and just sort of said well
you know it's clearly a
this is clearly dodgy
it's clearly weird
but like
so that's the only kind of like evidence they've got
and the only like thing they could think was
his anal beads and so he didn't
admit to putting anal beads up his
but what's the connection there?
Yeah I think people
have just put two
and two together
and got anal beads
I think that's the
case anyway
The amount of
times we've all
done that
But I think so
I think he then
either did a
rematch with
Carlson or he
didn't play
Carlson the first
time
He did a rematch
with Carlson
and Carlson
online in their
bedrooms and
Carlson just
quit
This has happened again but I think that's happened twice so yesterday Carlsen online in their bedrooms and Carlsen just quit. He didn't quit out.
I think that's happened twice.
So yesterday, Carlsen stepped up with,
because the other guy's called Hans Nieman.
Carlsen stepped up and played Nieman again
and he disappeared from the screen, just disconnected.
Yeah, he just fucked up.
Refused to play him again because I think he,
because there was something that happened again like
similar nature that like last month and then when magnus carlson who apparently normally is
all over the media that people love him because he's always so present on the media
he refused to do interviews yesterday and then earlier in the earlier incident said he
did the old jose marino if i speak i'm in trouble and then Hans when it starts to get really odd
because chess is like a madly
intrinsic and really intriguing kind of
scene really
going back all the way to like Bobby Fischer
and all that kind of stuff which people don't know about
Bobby Fischer I'd recommend you watch
either read or watch
the book's definitely called Bobby Fischer vs the World
and it's brilliant and there's a documentary which might have the same
title about where Bobby Fisher becomes
this kind of pawn, pun intended,
in the Cold War
playing all these
Soviet grandmasters and stuff.
But anyway, the way
that it becomes intriguing between Carlson
and Neiman is because Neiman then says, look,
I did cheat on an
online thing in an unranked tournament, as you said,
Pete, way back in the day, but I've never cheated since.
And if you want reassurance that I'm not going to cheat,
I'll play every game against you completely naked,
which is kind of a weird flex.
It's a weird flex,
especially because people say that you've got things up your bum.
I mean, you can't see up your bum.
What would you do if he agreed to play completely naked
and then when he walked in, you know, cock and bollocks out,
his penis was a bishop.
Well, at the end with a little split down it.
Because I reckon then Magnus Carlsen would be like,
it's a prophecy.
He was foretold to become a chess grandmaster
because he was born with a bishop as a penis.
I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
I mean, that is the most phallic.
I don't know, the Queen's pretty phallic, isn't she, I suppose?
I mean, they're all quite phallic.
Yeah, yeah, but I guess they've all got little kind of bulbous ends, haven't they?
I think you should be allowed as long as you don't.
Who invented the chest?
And the horses, they've famously got massive hogs, haven't they?
So, like, what is this obsession with things that look like penises
and one thing that has big penises?
What's going on there?
Have you just discovered all of mainstream culture?
Because, you know, the fact that, like, everywhere you turn,
everything that's made is kind of phallic or based on a woman's body.
What's wrong with drafts?
No, there's nothing wrong with drafts.
Checkers, as they call them in America.
Checkers.
Areola.
They're kind of like areola-shaped, aren't they?
Where are you going with that?
All I was going to say was a perfectly serious
and I think legitimate point
that if Hans Niemann did have a penis shaped like a bishop,
that should be fine
as long as he doesn't try and play it on the board
as an extra bishop
because that's an advantage.
Oh, right, okay.
Or a mega bishop if he gets hard.
Yeah, and then he just goes,
and then when he ejaculates on the board,
he goes, oh, sorry.
Why is he ejaculating on the board?
You're taking that too far now.
My bishop's just been sick.
No, I don't know where I'm going with it.
I've gone too far there.
I apologise to anyone listening
who didn't like that.
Stepping over to my filthy
world yeah sometimes it does rub off um i've done it again steady uh anyway i think that's the i
think that's the chest thing covered isn't it that's just good and so i did promise before
the break we'd just briefly take another sojourn back to philadelphia and just find out a bit more
about what you did there aside from the the Chinese takeaway that it's probably the most predictable Chinese in history.
Right.
What's the Chinese food scene like in Philly?
I mean, I know the Americans are famously terrible
at Chinese food, but I mean, even...
I thought New York and San Francisco
was known as very good for Chinese food.
They're bad for Indian food.
Massive Chinatown.
But outside of Chinatown, I would say.
Right, okay. I don't think it has Massive Chinatown. But outside of Chinatown, I would say. Right, okay.
Philadelphia, obviously.
Right.
I don't think has a massive Chinatown.
But, yeah, I mean, I just had all of their...
I couldn't find the Christiana beef.
Couldn't find the lemon chicken.
So I'll just have a filet mignon.
What, from a Chinese?
It was like a stewing steak with a bowl of rice.
No, because I like steak with rice.
I think it really works.
So I just really fancied it with steak and a bit of rice. But, yeah, it was like a stewing steak with a bowl of rice. No, because I like steak with rice. I think it really works. So I just really fancied it with steak and a bit of rice.
But yeah, it was absolutely rank.
And then next day, absolutely wrecked, knackered, tired,
I drove to Atlantic City, baby.
Oh, nice.
And now we're getting somewhere.
It's just like South End.
Just like shit Vegas.
It's just like, it's rough as all boots,
but really unpretentious at the same time.
Have you ever gone to any of the tables?
I walked past the tables.
I sort of looked at how you would turn your green into chips.
I couldn't really figure it out, so I just walked off.
And that's to their discredit.
They should have someone just approaching anyone who's walking around going,
do you want to do some gambling?
Do you want to do some gambling?
Mate, they have missed an absolute opportunity there.
I know, right?
You're probably the easiest person to park with cash I've ever met.
And you've walked in there.
person to part with cash i've ever met and they've missed you've walked in there and that's like being hunting and seeing the world's best i don't know deer and not having your gun loaded not that
i agree with you that's a horrible analogy i don't know why i used it what a horrible analogy
and the world's best deer let's let you draw that deer let's just say when you walk into that
gambling room and that's that casino you are big game you are big game and they have absolutely missed an opportunity there big buck hunter i am uh yeah what would be
the what would for you you talk about great game you talk about a great deer like what
what would that look like to you because i'm thinking heated seats, rear cameras.
I'm thinking like the best Primo deer.
That's how you steer him.
So when you ride a deer, you steer him with the big antlers.
That's how you do it.
It's power steering.
But yeah, at Lake City, I recommend it.
But it is ruffles or boots.
But you can't recommend it because you didn't do anything when you were there.
No.
I just drank by myself in a pub for a bit and then went home i think that might be the most depressing sentence a thousand i mean for atlantic city it really is i
drove down the course for a bit because i was just like i don't want to take the piss because like i
will crash if i keep driving i was like i am here. Like, you wouldn't believe.
But no, all good.
You didn't crash at all, no?
No, didn't, no.
And people who know you will know you've got another trip to the US next month, is it? Where you've got some driving to do there.
So that was the whole point of this, because you wanted to practice your driving, right?
That's proper serious driving, yeah.
That was basically, I just wanted to know that I could definitely do it.
But I think we're going even bigger with the car this time. So think i'll be i think i'll be driving a hgv by
the end of this it's always a constant surprise i can remember i was obviously married in the us
and when my brother-in-law took responsibility for driving some of the family around um he hired a
car and when he turned that he's he's fairly small fellow himself um and when he turned up
finally in this rental car i mean i was cracking
it was absolutely ridiculous it was like he was driving buckingham fucking palace on wheels and
he when he got out the car he was just cracking up laughing as well as i have no idea what i'm
doing here but it was so big the car was so big it had so you know you've got the front seats and
the back seats in the car you look at it side on this had like a third row a third row seats didn't need them not even a minibus yeah they just sort
of went they don't really have minibuses in america because the button because the cars are just big
enough aren't they really they've always got an extra row to put in incredible so yeah i mean i
mean even even then it's um it was pretty unmanageable. But the thing is the roads are so big as well.
I think to a lot of Americans coming here,
I think particularly when you get outside of the main conurbations and stuff,
I think they're surprised the roads are so narrow.
Because, you know, on my road, basically,
you have to wait at the top of it for someone to come down
before you can drive up, and that's just complete.
That just doesn't exist in the US, really.
Is everyone double parked?
Are people kind of parked half on the...
In my room, they are, yeah.
Yeah.
No, we're not, are we?
Anyway, all right, Pete.
That's probably about enough time for Monday's episode.
So should we get out of here?
And then we'll come back, obviously, on Thursday.
We've got a special battery section after the break on Thursday,
which is something to look forward to.
And we'll fill people in on lots of other stuff as well.
And maybe people can contribute to the chess debate,
the driving of big cars debate,
the, you know, if you've got a penis,
like a chess piece, get involved, let us know.
Let's have pictures of men's wangers
that look most like chess pieces.
I don't think you should have said that.
Okay, we don't want any of that.
