Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:24 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.
Starting point is 00:00:37 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?
Starting point is 00:01:06 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
Starting point is 00:01:30 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.
Starting point is 00:01:46 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.
Starting point is 00:01:57 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
Starting point is 00:02:10 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
Starting point is 00:02:46 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.
Starting point is 00:02:57 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.
Starting point is 00:03:07 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.
Starting point is 00:03:29 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.
Starting point is 00:03:37 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.
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:04:00 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?
Starting point is 00:04:15 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
Starting point is 00:04:45 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.
Starting point is 00:04:50 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,
Starting point is 00:05:02 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
Starting point is 00:05:10 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
Starting point is 00:05:17 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?
Starting point is 00:05:23 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,
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:06:09 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
Starting point is 00:06:19 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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.
Starting point is 00:07:04 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
Starting point is 00:07:23 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.
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:12 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
Starting point is 00:08:27 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.
Starting point is 00:08:43 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
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 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
Starting point is 00:09:49 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
Starting point is 00:09:57 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
Starting point is 00:10:22 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,
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:10:57 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,
Starting point is 00:11:27 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.
Starting point is 00:11:46 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.
Starting point is 00:12:11 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
Starting point is 00:12:29 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
Starting point is 00:12:44 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,
Starting point is 00:12:53 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
Starting point is 00:13:15 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
Starting point is 00:13:30 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
Starting point is 00:13:38 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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
Starting point is 00:14:01 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
Starting point is 00:14:17 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?
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:14:55 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 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.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Of course it is. And I would love... His dad was the first black grandmaster chess player. What? This is wild. Look at how
Starting point is 00:16:15 his grandson... Did you say grandfather? Good God. No, his grandson or... No, his dad. His dad was a... That's amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Starting point is 00:16:24 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,
Starting point is 00:16:40 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
Starting point is 00:16:50 though Peter say again sorry yeah chess story yeah it's got to disappear a bit of reverie there it's almost like
Starting point is 00:16:56 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
Starting point is 00:17:05 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
Starting point is 00:17:14 nice wrestler back in the day and he he would just he would just spend his time
Starting point is 00:17:22 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...
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:17:52 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
Starting point is 00:18:10 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.
Starting point is 00:18:26 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.
Starting point is 00:18:42 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.
Starting point is 00:18:55 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,
Starting point is 00:19:10 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
Starting point is 00:19:28 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
Starting point is 00:19:43 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
Starting point is 00:19:51 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
Starting point is 00:19:57 Carlson the first time He did a rematch with Carlson and Carlson online in their bedrooms and Carlson just
Starting point is 00:20:03 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.
Starting point is 00:20:22 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
Starting point is 00:20:50 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
Starting point is 00:21:05 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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?
Starting point is 00:22:24 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.
Starting point is 00:22:47 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,
Starting point is 00:23:00 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,
Starting point is 00:23:12 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.
Starting point is 00:23:24 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
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:05 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.
Starting point is 00:24:22 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.
Starting point is 00:24:44 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.
Starting point is 00:25:08 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.
Starting point is 00:25:25 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.
Starting point is 00:26:11 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
Starting point is 00:26:34 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.
Starting point is 00:27:00 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
Starting point is 00:27:36 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 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.
Starting point is 00:28:26 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 we'll fill people in on lots of other stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:28:43 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.
