Starting point is 00:00:00 and we're back with a little picture it is a thursday adele has marked the 10th anniversary of our award-winning album 21 but she still isn't giving away anything about when any new music might be released keep listening for that information shouted twice as loud at the end of this show thanks for the intro pete i mean it's just bizarre isn't it i mean most just get into the it's just getting to the end of of of my tether emotionally mentally i'm just shouting everything that i'm just i can see on my screen you've made me sound like an absolute penis there because i've not coming off the back of that but 99.9 of co-hosts in that situation would have no idea what was going on exactly look i'm making you a better co-host mate one day you might be able to have a 3am slot on norfolk digital norfolk digital i mean actually interestingly enough adele live
Starting point is 00:00:59 lived above the pub which is the second closest pub to where I'm sat right now. So there you go. Hang on. So I bring that to the table, and then you bring that to the table, and I'm in the wrong. Just riffing, mate. Just riffing. This is the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Luke Moore.
Starting point is 00:01:14 He's Pete Donaldson. Every, well, twice a week, actually. I was going to say every week, but it's actually twice a week, we bring you a semi-unplanned slash totally unplanned half an hour of absolute nonsense. Now, Peter, I've been looking forward to this because I've actually got a pretty interesting thing that I think you're going to like.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Okay? Okay. All right, then. So last week, too late for me to bring it into last week's shows, and I thought I'd do it today. Last week, I was just idly flicking around the tv uh i was supposed to be reading some book but i got bored of it so i put the telly on and i've and i did something i never do right i flicked on channel five right i've never watched
Starting point is 00:01:58 channel five normally it's just one of those things i'll never look at i've never got any tv shows i like but i was flicking through and and i flicked on channel 5 and it was showing this one of these countdown shows which at first glance are just a waste of everyone's time but if you actually give them the time of day and i'll send this to to my wife obviously she's not natively british so it's particularly relevant to her if you actually give them the time they tell you more about about British culture than anything else, right? Do you understand what I mean by that? So you can read about big news events or what the Royal Family have done or football matches or whatever to tell you the story of British life.
Starting point is 00:02:36 But actually, these types of shows, they are full of things that you never remembered happened. But when you get reminded of them it is actually mental right and so this this particular show was the um it was the top hundred i think or was it hundred i can't remember but anyway it was basically the worst tv moments of the 90s okay right yeah fair i would say like 85 of them i had no idea even happened but they all did happen and some of them are absolutely mental right do you remember a tv show in the 90s called ice warriors no i don't was it like gladiator i'm thinking as gladiators
Starting point is 00:03:19 on ice maybe yes it was basically a weird almost almost, honestly, it was almost like LARP on ice crossed with gladiators. So they had all these characters like they did the gladiators, but they actually spoke and had like backstories and were like, you know, like elves and goblins and stuff. And they had all these challenges like gladiators, these contestants, but they had to do them on ice. And so you have this amazing situation where it'd be like, who is next to climb the castle of Grayskull among the lightning lords? And it would be like, Nigel from Barnsley. And he'd be like, all right. It's insane, mate.
Starting point is 00:04:04 It was full of these events. for these tv shows i'll briefly give you a couple more one is um an astonishingly ill-conceived tv concept which i have no idea how it got to tv but it did it's this show called game of War. I promise you this happened, right? What they did is, you know you have those topographical maps that presumably army generals use to move troops around in position to give orders and stuff, right? So they had two of those in separate rooms, and in each room you had a recently retired real army general, right? each room you had a recently retired real army general right and they would have to compete and do and battle famous battles from throughout history so they would get like i don't know
Starting point is 00:04:54 fucking general sir so and so it was exactly like you imagine like an old general and say for this episode nigel i'm going to use the word nigel again because they're always called Nigel. Nigel, you are Napoleon, right? These are your armies. Here's the battlefield. And you've got to send your orders through to your troops, and we'll relay them to the other general, who's going to be, in this case, Nelson. And Nelson, you've got this.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And they would play out the war with two old men in separate rooms on these maps, and occasionally one of them would get angry, and that was a show for an hour. An hour. That does ring a bell. I seem to recall that. It sounds a bit Channel 40 for me.
Starting point is 00:05:36 What do you reckon? Yeah, it kind of had the same aesthetic as The Krypton Factor. Yeah. I mean, it's programming for older men who would also watch Top Gear. What do you reckon yeah massively but much more slow pace like and absolutely zero sense of humor and the final one i want to get to there's loads of these like you should look it up there's loads of them the final one i want to get to is one of the most cringeworthy tv moments i have ever seen right do you remember
Starting point is 00:06:03 the late rich Whiteley? Yes, I do. He died when everyone was at Glastonbury, one of the Glastonbury deaths. Lovely little bit of trivia. I didn't know that. He used to present Countdown. If you're not from the UK, look it up. It's a daytime game show with words and numbers.
Starting point is 00:06:22 It's quite culturally significant in the UK. It's still on now, presented by the guy who used to be one of Alan Sugar's sidekicks on The Apprentice. Anyway. Donald Trump. And Alan Sugar is the Donald Trump of England. Yeah. Wow. In a way, on that show, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Anyway, so basically, Pete, I don't know if you remember, but Richard Whiteley leaves Countdown. It's a big thing, right? And he's getting lucrative TV offers. And this show he settles on, which actually happened, is a show called Richard Whiteley Unbriefed, right? Again, an astonishingly badly conceived idea. It is a live chat show, Pete, right,
Starting point is 00:06:59 where he plays the role of your, you know, your fucking Jimmy Fallons or whatever, right? And... He was not a charismatic man was he he wasn't gifted he wasn't funny he couldn't sing he wasn't it gets worse than this right he's given a list of guests live but he's not told who they are in advance so so he gets given a few clues and then a few clues, they come out and he interviews them, right? And one episode happened where he gets given Paul Whitehouse, you know, the guy from The Fast Show? Right.
Starting point is 00:07:31 He does that gone fishing show, Bob Mortimer, at the moment, right? And it becomes crushingly clear that Richard White doesn't know who he is, even when he comes out, and he sits in front of him, and he has to interview him, and he doesn't know anything about him. He's never seen him before. He sits in front of him and he has to interview him and he doesn't know anything about he's never seen him before he's never heard of him it could just be anyone from the crowd and it is so embarrassing for poor poor white house so when they announce that he's got is he who it's going to be right because he doesn't get any of the clues he doesn't know who he is they say and it's poor white house claps because they're a live studio audience.
Starting point is 00:08:07 And Richard Whiteley looks like he's just been told that he's got like a week to live. Right. It is horrendously bad. Honestly, it's so much fun watching that show. I've never had so much fun watching TV in my entire life. There are loads more of these types of shows I've never heard of before in quite a chaotic era for the 90s in terms terms of tv oh yeah i mean there were more channels
Starting point is 00:08:29 than ever before they had to be there was more cocaine than ever before uh and and and the the just the channels had to be you had to fill them with something uh and there's some really crazy decisions made i remember i couldn't i was trying to explain this uh to to my business about um remember ian wright uh did it was like saturday night right or something he did a program right i remember that friday night's all right and he and i i seem to recall there was a contestant on saturday night's all right uh on on some kind of like game show part of it uh where they there i do something and the man lost and he was a terribly bad loser and it becomes very very clear very very quickly that ian wright wants to knock this guy's block off because he's an idiot and he's just getting more and more angry this guy because
Starting point is 00:09:20 he's lost and he thinks it's unfair and he thinks everyone's been cheating behind his back and stuff and ian wr Wright just goes, you're such a bad loser. You're such a bad loser. Like, what's wrong with you? And I've never been able to find that clip again. And it always got repeated on those best... Are you not getting confused with Dominic Diamond in Games Master? Because that definitely happened on Games Master.
Starting point is 00:09:37 No, no, that was Steve... Do you remember that one? Yeah, that was Steve something, the games animal. Or Rich something, the games animal. Yeah, he's still around. And he has leather trousers and a bandana on. Yeah, he's still around doing the same thing. He made an online video game show last year and it wasn't very good.
Starting point is 00:09:55 When you think about it though, how much longevity has Ian Wright got? What a legend. He's still doing national TV now. But he, like I've said it before, I've said it again, like I i love right i've worked with him myself and and the fact that i've worked with him will dictate that he will accept any job and he and honestly he never stops working and i've probably said before on this show i've maybe said it on the ramble but he is the the fact that he has any goodwill for anyone at any point the the fact that he ever comes across well is testament to how lovely that man is because he works.
Starting point is 00:10:31 He turns nothing down. He understands hard work. It's very core. And he just accepts every job and he's great. I remember sort of doing a job with him and he was going off to see a mate do some boxing, some, you know, white collar blue, I forget his white collar boxing. Anyway, doing some boxing and, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:52 and he's like, I'm absolutely knackered, Pete. I'm absolutely exhausted. And he was doing a radio show with me and he was going off to do that. And obviously like, I said, mate, just pop in and then leave again. He goes, I can't, you know, I've got to stick around for my mate and stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:05 And so he was going down to see his mate. Now, you know, it's different between me going down and watching a boxing match. No one's stopping me for selfies and pictures and stuff like that. He would have been there for hours just, you know, taking pictures with people, saying hello. And for everybody, that would be their first experience of Ian Wright. I have a lot of respect for blocks of his kind of like fame
Starting point is 00:11:28 who just fucking work and put themselves out there every day and they just never stop. And they're exhausted. He's doing it for the memory of Mr. Pigden. Mr. Pigden, exactly. Exactly. I also, and people will say, yeah, but loads of people have like 25-year TV careers.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Yeah, Ian Wright, that's not even his main job. He had, but loads of people have like 25-year TV careers. Yeah, you're right. That's not even his main job. He had another job before that. He was world class at that. And he wasn't very good at telly when he first started. And that's you saying that. And that's me saying that. Yeah, I don't even get near TV, let alone be crap on it.
Starting point is 00:12:01 So yeah, I was just going to finish up by saying that the 90s was a was a mad mad decade for that type of stuff it just seemed completely chaotic what it reminded me of is that little period of time that you always talk about when the internet was really unpredictable and a bit like the wild west it feels to me like tv was a bit like that i don't know if i told you but about two or three months ago i I watched an episode of The Big Breakfast on YouTube. Mad. Absolutely mad. But it's completely alien to anything you see on TV now.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Yeah. It's a brilliant idea when you think about it because what they've done is they've said, okay, most breakfast TV is quite boring and news-based and either that or it's very safe and it's sofa stuff. And this was like mad, chaotic, maniacal telly. You don't really see it much anymore really well i think that clip that was going around of uh rod hull throwing himself into a chest freezer um just the most astonishing but you know i watch a lot of wrestling that's the best sell i've seen in ever the way that he
Starting point is 00:13:01 throws himself in that chest it's incredible he goes 360 in that chest, it's incredible. He goes 360 into a chest freezer. It's wonderful. And obviously people are posting the clip of Rod Hull attacking Snoop Dogg when everyone was, at the point of his career, where everyone was scared of him as a gangster rapper. Yeah, I think it was just after his getting arrested for shooting a man, wasn't it? I seem to recall. Yeah, I mean, Snoop Dogg's transition from what he was
Starting point is 00:13:29 to what he's now become, is it? What you just have to think about, it's absolutely extraordinary. It is extraordinary. At that point, wasn't it? Is that the clip where he's like, is he stamping on Emu's neck? Oh, yeah, yeah. He was knocking on the jock. Enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Let's take a quick break in which time Pete will chuck himself head first into his own freezer and possibly even pull out a frozen sausage we'll see you in a minute this week at Sukarnov
Starting point is 00:13:55 on Wrestle Me this week we talked about the worst way to accept a Hall of Fame award they were just talking you suck it you suck it and then he pours milk over yourself
Starting point is 00:14:03 what is this pouring milk over himself. What is this? Pouring milk over yourself is absolutely something that if you did it once in any scenario, people would never forget it. We were just having
Starting point is 00:14:14 Christmas dinner and he just poured two litres of milk over himself. Or if you're more in the mood for some awkward anecdotes, Alex shared his
Starting point is 00:14:22 experience with the cast of Event Horizon on this week's Clash of the Titles. We meet Smitty, played by Sean Pertwee, a man who I bumped into in a bar having never interviewed and literally chewed his ear off, trapped him in a corner of a booth
Starting point is 00:14:36 where he couldn't actually stand up and get away from me and talk to him incessantly about this film. Later on in the night, his wife said to me, Sean's outside if you want to carry on talking to him incessantly about this film. Later on in the night, his wife said to me, Sean's outside if you want to carry on talking to him about Event Horizon. All that and more at Stakhanov. We're back. It's the Luke and Pete show.
Starting point is 00:15:04 If you want to get in touch with the show, the Luke and Pete show, it's very simple. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. That's the admin out of the way. Let's have some fucking emails, shall we? Yeah, and before, but before, very, very briefly, before we get into the emails proper, I should probably...
Starting point is 00:15:17 Let's not have some fucking emails then. No. Let's go backwards. No, it's emissives of a kind. I'm just going to go through the latest submissions for if any new players have entered the game on the battery brand front. So Trent Haverkamp, which is a brilliant name on Twitter, has introduced us to the 777 battery, which I think is a new player.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I think a new player has entered the game there. Beautiful. Have you seen a 777 before, Pete? A 777? No. I mean, is of the kind of batteries that you put into a uh a plane i don't know yeah they've obviously they're obviously taken off i'll tell you what actually happened once when i was working at a company where they gave you one of these big um speeches but they what do they call them they call them town halls
Starting point is 00:15:59 i think right everyone has to attend you'll stand up and the ceo gives you a big talk and he thinks he's really funny and it's really boring. And he did this thing saying, oh, this company, I can't remember which one it was I was working at now, we're going to do this thing called the 7-7-7 strategy. Right. Gave all these reasons. Post terrorist atrocity 7-7?
Starting point is 00:16:21 Well, yeah, it was post that, but that's just 7-7, not triple 7 crucially okay the reasons he gave um for calling it 7-7-7 was because um there's loads of different reasons right so one is um was that triple sevens and a fruit machine and a jackpot and a couple other reasons and then he said oh and and also there's a tremendously reliable aircraft called the Boeing 777, which has never once had a crash. No word of a lie. This is the summer of 2018, I think.
Starting point is 00:16:52 No word of a lie. A couple of days later, a 777 crashed in Dubai, and the whole thing had to be mothballed because it was all the marketing, internal marketing, literature, and everything, and it had to be completely changed. So that's what that reminds me of. You say what are the chances of that happening? You sort of go, there's probably some very specific numbers
Starting point is 00:17:10 that we could quote if we could build it. What are the chances of that happening? Speaking of planes and batteries, borrowing through Barack Obama's book that came out a couple of months ago, and he talks about what on the campaign trail the primary he uh he was he was on a on a plane he managed to sort of um hire like a plane to get around because you know it's just fucking america's little bloody vast and uh the the pilot at one point um couldn't uh the battery on the plane wasn't working so he took the battery out of the plane
Starting point is 00:17:45 and charged it in the uh in the airport lounge i was like what the fuck what like that would be i mean it was a plane of some size apparently as well which is unspeakable it's unspeakable isn't it oh good god well and speak speaking of that one of our listeners emailed in um and he was emailing about something else. I haven't got the email in front of me because I didn't select it for reading today, but I'll come back to him next week. But I'll just include a bit of the email which caught my eye. He was talking about planes, and he's an aircraft engineer, right?
Starting point is 00:18:20 And he's making this point about planes. It's quite interesting about parachutes. Agreeing with me because I'm sensible. Yeah, probably agree with you but not with me. Yeah. And then he just put at the end, it's like interesting about agreeing with me because yeah probably agree with you yeah and then you just put at the end it's like a little postscript oh and you know what's quite interesting actually that um the the engines are put on the wings with these bolts that are designed to shear off as the if the pilot needs them to yeah well or if or if the the vibrations get too strong i don't think that's an option i don't know either way i don't want to hear it i don't want to hear it either way i't think you can press a button. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. Either way, I'm not here for that.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I don't want to hear that information. I wish I didn't learn it. I'm going to try and forget it, but I won't be able to. Horrendous. Noah Roth. Yeah, Noah Roth said it. Do you know about this? Yeah, so they are designing such...
Starting point is 00:18:58 Well, no, Noah Roth. I'm just reading his email out at the back end of it. They're designing such a way that if the engine sustains massive damage and is vibrating in such a way to cause more damage to the aircraft, they will shear in half, dropping the back end of it. They're designed in such a way that if the engine sustains massive damage and is vibrating in such a way to cause more damage to the aircraft, they will shear in half, dropping the engine from the wing. First of all, who's that falling on? Who is that falling on?
Starting point is 00:19:15 Look, I'd be very annoyed if an engine fell through my house because I've played the odds there and I've come out wanting, to be quite frank. Yeah. What are the chances of that happening? They're actually really slim. I'm sorry about that. Yeah, very low.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Very, very low. So, yeah, before we get into the emails proper, Anton Molman, great name, has sent in the GP extra heavy duty. That is not a new player. Not a new player. No, sorry. A new player has not entered the game there. Only the 777 sent in by Trent is a new player. Petereter do you have an email you want to take it away with i would
Starting point is 00:19:50 daniel grice i do like that name um all right gents with regards to meat i've got a packet of bacon bought from iceland the kerry katona one not the dark frozen country in the czech republic i had no idea that uh iceland's existed in in eastern europe did you did you know that iceland's were in no i know you're like see like you see like a martin spencer in hong kong or something and there's a reason for that but i don't know what i don't know what iceland's doing out in the czech republic quite frankly no i'm very surprised to hear that and also one thing it does put me in mind of is that i was, this is a kind of inversion of the point, but I was surprised at how many American stores there were in Iceland, the country.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Were you surprised by that? Like what kind of American stores are there? It's kind of. I can't remember off the top of my head, but like I'm sure there was like Best Buy and some places like that. Oh, were they? Oh, okay. Which I think might be because.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Well, I think it might be because quite a lot of flights do go through Reykjavik, maybe. So maybe that's got something to do with it. That's true, yeah. Anyway, go on. Yeah, so he sent us a picture of his bacon that he's bought in the Czech Republic. Origin of pork, EU. Cued in the EU, sliced and packed in the UK
Starting point is 00:21:01 for Iceland Foods Limited UK. So essentially, all the UK do is slice the meat that's grown in Europe. Unfortunately, that means that it... Sorry? Grown. Well, yeah. To grow meat. Yeah, to grow meat, can't you?
Starting point is 00:21:15 Unfortunately, that means this meat can't be exported back to Europe now, meaning this is one of the last packets here. M&S have now closed here indefinitely, and Iceland have a small percentage of their stocks are not as attractive to a fat man and not the most revealing email i admit keep safe gents presumably fat man daniel thank you daniel that is a wonderful we got the fish though remember that and the blue passport the happy fish have we even got the blue the blue passports aren't worth much are they can't't go anywhere. I think every single fish should now be given a tiny little blue passport
Starting point is 00:21:48 and they slide in their gill. Yeah, little ball of hat, little brolly. A monocle. Yeah, lovely. Lovely old job. All right, what about this email then from Gavin, who has had an encounter with a minor celebrity this is following up to the this is a follow-up i guess a natural progression from the michael jackson slash anthea turner story from
Starting point is 00:22:12 last week if you haven't heard that yet you are missing out big time go back and listen to it gavin says gents i heard the story on the show about the writer meeting michael jackson slash anthea turner although my story isn't quite as thrilling, it was very, very awkward. At the time, I was about 16 or 17, working at a three-star hotel in the Rhondda in South Wales. I won't mention what the hotel was, but there aren't that many three-star places in that area, so you can work it out yourself probably. Cast your minds back to the early 2000s, where makeover shows were rife.
Starting point is 00:22:42 That's very true, actually. In the early 2000s, there were makeover shows everywhere. Changing Rooms, the top dog of makeover shows were rife. That's very true actually. In the early 2000s there were makeover shows everywhere. Changing rooms, the top dog of makeover shows, were staying at my hotel where they made up a house in a working class area that looked like a brothel. Brackets I imagine. I was a waiter serving the crew and their
Starting point is 00:22:57 star host Linda Barker. Do you remember Linda Barker? Still find her? She's still doing stuff. I jokingly said after asking what she was planning to do to the house that they were refurbishing, quote, maybe you should come to do my bedroom. As in, redecorate my bedroom.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Cut to a second later, the whole table goes quiet, and Linda looks very awkward. She said, I'm happily married, sorry. I, confused, said, oh, sorry, and then it dawned on me what she thought I meant. I avoided that table like the plague for the rest of the evening, as you can imagine.
Starting point is 00:23:32 As a side story, she also requested no autographs and she didn't want to be hassled. Then later that night, I saw her with a pile of pre-signed headshots that she'd brought with her. Cheers, guys. Gavin. Yeah, I mean. Can we use anyshots that she brought with her. Cheers, guys. Gavin. Yeah, I mean. Can we use any of that?
Starting point is 00:23:48 Of course we can. I mean, look, he's a child. He doesn't know the inference, and he doesn't have a house. He has a bedroom. That's his life. That's his world. You should come and do my bedroom. I mean, I hate to be on the side of Linda Barker here.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Yeah, sorry. I mean, what does Gavin think was going to happen here? I mean, seriously. I mean, Linda Barker's still got a column in the Daily Express magazine. This is top quality stuff. She's not going to – she finished in third place in the ITV Celebrity Diving Vehicle, Splash, using Tom Daley as her mentor. This is high-quality stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Do not say that to Linda Barker. I know, terrible, eh? I should say, by the way, she still looks absolutely great. Can I say that? Probably can. I don't know. She looks great. I don't really remember what she looked like before.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Am I getting a mix-up with Sue Barker from... I mean, I know you well, so almost certainly yes. Who's Sue Ryder? You're probably getting a mix-up, though, and you with fucking Ronnie Barker. There's just too many Barkers and Sues around for my liking, quite frankly, yeah. But look, I understand you didn't mean anything by it, but you're still going on the sex offenders register.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Sorry about that, mate. Sorry about that, mate. It does seem like a euphemism, doesn't it? Would you like to redecorate my bedroom? What? Yeah, exactly. Bedroom ceiling or something just terrible. Awful.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Awful, man. Not good. Do you want to squeeze another email in or do you want to go? Squeeze another one in. My time is money, Luke. I've got to shift off. It's like a bit of a shit house party.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Should we squeeze another one in or should we go? Toby Bishop, Uri Geller. Hey, guys. Toby here, the one who had to pay £7.50 for a scotch egg. Quick story for you. I had a flashback from when I was about 10 or 11. I was watching Uri Geller on the telly.
Starting point is 00:25:46 He told viewers to place a metal spoon on top of the TV and to step away. I grabbed one from the kitchen and stepped back. This was the early 2000s, so it was a box TV. He then proceeded to perform his supposed psychokinesis. Even at 10, I was skeptical, but as my memory has it, the spoon made a loud electrical twang and jumped off the TV, landing on the floor. I was absolutely stunned.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I told my sister, but she didn't believe me. I know this can't have happened, but the event and the noise of the spoon is so clear in my head. Did I just want it to happen? Why is it so clear in my mind? Am I somehow magical? Cheers, Toby. Now, Toby, I'm almost certain that when you used to put your hand,
Starting point is 00:26:22 the back of your hand, on a cathode ray tube television it will be it it will be warm it would make your um the hair on the back of your hands dance a little bit because of the static electricity so i imagine it probably had something to do with that mate probably had something to do with that detective donaldson investigates yeah i did had you degaussed your television recently? Because if you don't... Good question. I never understand what I did.
Starting point is 00:26:49 You used to have, like, gousing pens back in the day. Not a clue. I've never even heard that word before. It was a button on your monitor. I've no idea why you had to do it, but it's like defragging your hard drive. It seemed to be important back in the day. Now it's not so much. Why don't people defrag hard drives anymore?
Starting point is 00:27:04 I think they should do, really. But a lot of our memory is solid state nowadays, so I guess it's less important, I suppose. Yeah, because I remember that being a real thing that dads would do. Oh, it was like a lot of computer maintenance. It was like sort of looking after an old-timey 1920s car. You had to keep everything topped up with water and oil and stuff i mean you have to go with every car really but
Starting point is 00:27:28 you know what i mean yeah i mean the people who would defrag regularly would also be good with things like cars and everything right yeah well except my dad my dad can't drive for for toff but uh yeah he he would constantly so don't touch my computer, it's defragmenting, it's defragmenting. This old 20 gig hard drive. How is old Stewie? Is he doing all right? He's all right, yeah, he's fine. And he crossed words recently?
Starting point is 00:27:55 No, he is, he sent me the, he always sends me this document about the EU. When I point out that he, like, I think you might have forwarded, they've spent more on COVID than they ever did on the EU. Do you know what I mean? The amount of money the UK government spent on COVID response is already higher than the lifetime subsidies to the EU, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:23 already higher than the lifetime subsidies to the EU, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And every time I mention the EU, he just sends me a file from a couple of years ago, completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union, the Five Presidents Report PDF. And I've never read it. I don't know what his point is. He's not explained what the point is. He's trying to make, to be quite frank, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:45 What's the resolution like, though? I think I'll speak on behalf of all the listeners. I want to know if it's high res or what. It's a decent quality PDF he sent. I've actually sent that on WhatsApp. That's something, at least. Surely you respect that. How has he sent that on WhatsApp? He doesn't use WhatsApp Web. What's going on? This goes deeper than ever. This is the deep state.
Starting point is 00:28:59 What's going on? What's going on? I'm sure he should be on Parler by now. He probably is. is he on Telegram big on Telegram big on Telegram yeah while we work all that stuff out
