It's the Luca Pete George Thursday. My name is Pete Donaldson. We rounded off the show on Monday, speculating about certain legal cases. And we're not going to continue that. We've been assured and informed and demanded upon by producer Bruno, not to do any of that.

So what are we going to talk about, Luke, for crying out loud. I had a full... I had a full fucking dossier about Solmings. many people crying out loud. You've got some of your conspiracy theory stuff as well. Exactly. I just think the thing about,

what I like about mad right wingers in this country is that they talk about the, they get upset when they can't, as I almost did on Monday, speculate about open court cases and lead jury one way or another. Robinson did, didn't he, got sent down for it? Well, they do.

Do you see that lovely bit where Robinson was talking to a Somali immigrant who literally fits? such a fucking bell. I would like to speculate on the temerity and importance of the ISIS dossier that said that he was at a target

because he went to Spain just at the point where he had to go back to Spain for tax purposes. I mean, the griff knows nor bounds. I just do not know how we can't get the messaging to the sort of people who go on his fucking PayPal

and send him money for Cork. I do not know what we can do to get that messaging across that you are being fucking sold a kipper. That man is a grift. It's really bad because if you look at the reality of it,

like people have pointed out that a lot of face, things like Facebook posts of like, you know, people who aren't that clever, I know that sounds snobby, but people who aren't that clever, who are being taken for a ride, posting stuff under like Tommy Robinson's Facebook posts, stuff like

I know, I've only got 40 quid to last me and my kids through to the end of the month, but I've sent 20 quid your way because it's shocking what they're doing to you. And he's just lapping it up. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting. And, yeah, that video itself was, one thing about that video, like, so basically for those haven't seen it, he essentially grabs a Somali guy in,

somewhere in Europe, I think it was in Rome, I think. And he starts essentially just, you know, dog whistly accusing him of being in a, illegal and regret, all this shit, and taking the piss out of him, laughing at him, all this kind of stuff. And then the guy

unveils and proves with a news story that he prevented an Afghan migrant stabbing a lot of people. Yeah. And Robinson just tries to start it out, but obviously fails miserably as he realizes that his whole world view

or his own purported world view which makes him money as the whole edifice has come crumbling down. And he doesn't manage to start it out because obviously that's impossible and he's not very good and he's a fucking idiot. What a beautiful face.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's a bit like that. But how does that video get out? Because if you had any kind of skill whatsoever, like, not being funny, you and I don't make that kind of content. Has to be a live stream. Has to be a live stream.

Because you and I don't make that kind of content, but we do do some stuff that's quite shit sometimes and we go, we're not putting that out. Yeah. And we don't. Not on this. Not a little piece of. I don't.

Yeah. You don't care. So it's kind of, it speaks to a level of competence that that shit's actually out there. Yeah, that's the problem with the live stream. It can go in a minute. Was it a live stream? It seemed like a live stream. It didn't seem like a live stream, but it has to have been because why would you put that out?

Sort of go, I don't know. Like it's the, the adult brain of a, of a grifty maniac. Maybe he sort of feels like, oh, well, maybe I've put this out. It's all content. It's all, you know, just waiting for the pub to open, really. Yeah, they can't, yeah, right. They can't, they can't lose, I guess they feel like. Good point.

But it kind of reminds us. me of how there'll basically never be a shortage of effectively people that aren't that very aren't very bright being taken in by this stuff. It reminds me that joke of the

have you heard the joke of the JFK conspiracy theorist who who obviously doesn't believe any of the JFK explanations and he dies and goes up to heaven and God says to him you can

come into heaven but I like you need you can ask me one question and I'll tell you I'll tell you truthfully what happened and he says okay I've always wanted to know who killed JFK and the god says Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone and the conspiracy theorist goes Jesus this goes even hard and I thought because they'll never they'll never be satisfied they'll never accept it and there's nothing you can do or say to shift them from that position and therefore once they're in that mindset it's there. It's there. So maybe Robinson just thinks,

it's not the whole Donald Trump thing, isn't it? It's like the old, I can shoot someone dead on Fifth Avenue and my supporters would never leave me. The one thing you have to credit Trump with is he understood that long before anyone else did. Yeah. Everyone thought, this will sink him, this will sink him, this will sink him. So maybe it's an extension of that with Robinson. He's like, my fans are so dedicated to me for all the lies I've told them. I've felt, I've basically treated them like mushrooms, kept him in the dark and fed them shit for so long.

They don't know what's right and what's wrong. I don't know what's forwards and what's backwards, and that's that. Well, speaking of conspiracy theories, aliens are real, says Barack Obama. That was brilliant because he had to do a rowback, didn't he? Yeah, he said, I haven't seen evidence of them being real. Let's make that very clear. It's just whatever you say to the alien people, they're going to be like a pig and shit, aren't they? An alien on the table getting a forensic examination?

I love Obama's retirement energy. Oh, fuck. He's pretty chill, isn't he? Yeah, and he's got every right to be. The amount of energy one had to expend dealing with nonsense, the tan suit, the not saluting a fucking submarine. He did a great one recently where he's sitting courtside at a basketball game when the ball just comes to him and he catches it quite cash and just throws.

it back like but on on this aliens thing he was doing an interview of Brian Brian Tyler Cohen who's got a big podcast in the US and I think it was a rapid fire round right okay and it was like it was like you know our aliens real and he said oh yeah they are real but they're not area 51 and then just kind of left it there people went mental and then he had to do another thing where he said oh just because of the distances in space means that we've probably not been visited but I promise you, I saw no evidence that extraterrestrials made contact with us while I was in office. That's not what I meant, kind of thing.

But he's just so casual, too casual for his own good. Yeah, yeah. The way that, so Cohen is the one, he'll sometimes pop up on, I want to say, Pots of America. And he's sometimes a bit, he's a bit too spicy for them. And you can tell they're sort of like trying to roll back some of the things that he says, because he's a bit, he's not quite as polished, I think. Then you've got the Midas touch guy who's just got the, every five minutes there'll be a new video

he's a long-haired guy and he sort of has his hands in his hair going like Epstein list fucking drama every five minutes he managed to bash a thing out and then there's the bulwark that's a bit more chilled out and older and there's sometimes you'll sort of think

I think actually the minus touch may have a few sort of guest hosts here and there or maybe it's the bullwark there's just so much there's so much money to be made just bashing out videos every five minutes about the minutia of the Epstein files of which there are

a lot because there's just a lot of files going on. Yeah, the Midas touch, I've got that YouTube thing down. They've got so many followers on YouTube is unbelievable. And six million or something. But going back to Obama, you can tell he, there's something really funny about, like, it's

horrific the stuff he has to put up with. But he's always so like sanguine about it, right? So the thing, the most horrific thing that happened recently was that Trump shared that racist video of him and his wife as

literally as apes, right? She's not fucking the most racist thing you can do. So bad, let alone from like a president. And they didn't apologize, they didn't fucking, they just styled it out as they normally do. And obviously Obama was asked about it. And he has every right to be fucking pissed off

about that, right? Because basically what that's saying is, you can have the highest, hold the highest office in the land. And people still won't respect you just for being. who you are. They won't respect you based on the color of your skin. It's a really shocking thing. I think a lot

the problem is they've flooded the zone so much that there's not enough time to spend all this stuff. But they've really not addressed that at all. It should be a massive, much bigger scale out of than it is. Anyway, when Obama's asked about it, he's just like, you know, well, the decorum for that office has disappeared in recent years.

And he always says, folks, folks just don't treat it like they should. And that's kind of it. And I just think to myself, How are you able to be so calm? He's probably pushed through it all. He's probably broken. He's probably had like a secret sort of breakdown of all the shit

you had to sort of deal with as, you know, a two-term president. And how good Barack Obama had to be to hold that office in America under the circumstances that he had to hold. You know, it's the whole kind of like, you know, black people have to be tenter as better than white people. you know, because of the system, you know, to get anywhere. And for to, because he's presidential, because he's the last sort of presidential candidate

we've seen sort of recently, he's just a, he's just a better man than everybody else, isn't he? I'm really looking forward to these public testimonies from the Clintons. I'm just going to be totally explosive. It was going to be like the best TV of the year. I said to you a couple of weeks ago. on that Obama Aliens thing though

he also said something that really kind of interest me which you fucking will not pick up the ball with and run with because you just think it's boring but he said he also said on the record there's footage of records of objects and the scars we don't know what they are we can't explain how they move we can't explain their trajectory

we need to investigate and find out what it is is it not like when you stop to think about it is it not mind blowing that that's happening I'm more scared of the you know the the squids and the octopuses that are like 30 years old. I don't like it.

But we know what they are though. I don't think, I don't think, they always say that like they've had a look around like, you know, 20% of the sea or something. Do you know, that's the thing that scares me. That's visceral. That's, they're on our planet.

I could go in the sea and say, and they're stuck in the sea. Well, don't go into space, Luke. Don't go into space and see the aliens. But is it not amazing that like people, senior military figures and the ex-president the United States are testifying on the record saying this shit's happening within all it is.

Yeah, but it's always like, like why would it be a floating object? Why wouldn't it be a gas? Why wouldn't it be a cancer? Why wouldn't it be a thing that's not viscerally understandable as a 70s, you know, idea of what, you know, futuristic technology would be? I'm talking about that.

I'm talking about that kind of thing that they had, that came out in like 2017. Right. That thing moving in a way that kind of defies physics picked up on proper modern technology. Yeah, but as I say, the flying sources on the X-Files. Well, you kind of are, are you?

It's still the same, it's still an unidentified object moving in a pattern that they sort of don't understand. And like lots of times, that same foot, not the same footage, but different sort of objects that are moving unnaturally, it's been proven that the camera was wonky or the, there was no,

the velocity of the camera wasn't measured correctly. So it wasn't actually moving in the way that the footage would suggest. There's no, there's so few, if they was doing this floating around in downtown fucking Brooklyn, you know what I mean? It would be, there would be enough kind of like measurement points to sort of say, yes, that thing is moving around strangely. Because it's the sky, I just always think that there's just too many variables that are just strange. Well, do you think then that certain military figures are saying this

because they've not fucking done their job properly? I'm not saying that necessarily. but I do think there are plenty of miscalculations in, you know, fucking submarine warfare where people have ended up with a blown up submarine or a busted up ship where people haven't even been able to figure out which direction things are going. That's why they're paying, that's why fucking test cars in England, you sort of see sometimes driving around, are in this kind of like that weird sort of camouflage that you see.

Because it's like you can't judge, you can't always judge in what direction and what shape a thing is, I suppose. I just think aliens should be more ambitious and float their way down London's beautiful West Ends. I don't know if people are saying, I mean, I don't know if people are saying they're aliens. I think people are saying this is interesting and weird and we don't know what it is.

Right. Yeah, yeah, but it's all the same thing, though, isn't it? It's always a gateway drug. Oh, that's a bit weird. I think the thing that pisses me off more is that I feel like the energy you exude generally means that you should really be into aliens and UFOs and you're not.

It's like when I found out Rick Edwards doesn't play chess. That's right. Oh, you're on a big chess kick at this moment in time, aren't you? You know, Rick, and when I started playing chess... I could see him as a chessman. Yeah, when I started playing chess, who do I know that plays chess? Not really anyone.

And I thought, oh, Rick will definitely play. So I'll message him. And he was like, never played chess. You're being fucking serious. You're the most chest energy bloke I've ever met. I, you've got to be careful with chess because it is a right wing gateway. Is it?

Yeah, massive manosphere. Yeah, chest stuff is, yeah, big chess guys. It's all bound together. For what reason? They think it makes them look intelligent, hunky. Yeah, online, better yourself get up at 4 a.m. Kind of, you know. It's just a, it's a, it's short hand for intelligence, isn't it really?

Is it? So you've got to be careful. I mean, I am fucking shit at it, so that's disappointing to hear. What's your chess.com? What's your chess.com thinging? Let me... Luke Aaron Moore.

Luke Aaron Moore. I had to turn off the old invitations because I got bombarded. I had no idea how popular it was. How am I supposed to play with you then? You can't play? Can you? Do you play?

No, but I play chess. I know where the pieces go. Well, you can have me as a friend and we'll play. It's, um... I can, I can, I can challenge you to a game, but I've got a lot of people... Obviously, it's chess. I can't play 500 games at once.

No, I'm Pete Donaldson won. I'm Pete Donaldson won, get in touch. Let's play. All right, I'm up for it, and we can report back how we get on. But I actually beat someone the other day. He's the first time, the first game I won. Oh, wow, that's amazing, because I have already ever drawn through time limits. Because you forget to move, probably.

Have you already got a profile on chess.com? Yeah, I think I, I think, because Alex Gonzalez plays religiously. He's a, he's a talent is Alex. I mean, he spends all his time. Just vaping and playing chess. Get him when he's pissed. I'll easily be it. That's me.

I've said it before on the show. He spends all of his week building, all of his sort of like Monday at Friday, building his profile and building his league positioning in chess.com. And then at the weekend, he just drink cans, smoking vapes and ruins it because he's pissed. That is a very nice way to live one's life. What a way to live your life, right.

Let's have a break, Peter. When we come back, we've got a battery submission that we simply must look at. Oh God Welcome back to the Luke and Pete show Now I am Lucky to be in charge of The Battery Daddy I've got my hands on its little clasp

How's Battery Robot doing by the way? Is it? Hello No, not that one I'm fine, thank you I think you've been playing chess Let's have a day of chess Luke You'll beat me battery robot

You've got artificial intelligence No, just batteries In my belly Nice Yes, he'd be exciting to play chess against, I think. He'd certainly have the distance, because he's full of batteries. His belly's full of batteries.

And he wouldn't get tired. No, he wouldn't get tired. He wouldn't get tired. He wouldn't get tired. He wouldn't get pissed and forget. Of batteries. Yeah. What have we got for batteries this time around?

Because we do have an entrance. Entrant. Entrant. It's me. I read them out, don't I? You've always read them every single week. We've not done it for weeks. Have some respect.

Andrew from Gifu in Japan. Salitation is the Luke and the Pete. I present to you the National N-E-O battery, or possibly the National High Top, I found in a now defunct battery vending machine in Kyoto at the front of someone's house. I do like this kind of cottage industry of getting yourself a little weird vending machine

and putting it outside your own accounts. That looks so old that battery vending machine. I mean, it looks proper 1970 stuff, isn't it? But they've clearly maintained it pretty well. if it's only just, you know, kick the bucket. You see sort of ones out in the sticks, and it's not your dirty, sort of, you know, schoolgirl pants sort of stuff. You get, like, people who sell, like, pancakes.

Like, pancakes rolled up in a little sort of glass jar, plastic jar. And it's like, you just have, like, little delicious, nutty, chocolatey crepes that people are selling in the middle of nowhere. It's absolutely brilliant. I absolutely love it. So, yes, Andrew and Geefu's come up with the lovely, I think the battery

robot would absolutely love getting up close and personal with this national battery vending machine in Kyoto but yeah the batteries that they're advertising for 270 yen 200 yen and yeah so you can get I think you can get two decels

for 270 yen which is about God nowadays probably in the high ones and 200 yen for two big old batteries and yeah 200 70 yen for 1 pound 30 270 yen Is it right? Goodness me, yeah, not too bad. The yen really is in the floor. It's amazing.

I've not been such long time. Yeah, so, yeah, what do you reckon to these ones? Then, Lucie Moore. Andrew Giffu's National Neo. National's a big brand, I suppose. National Neo. We've not seen them before. It's a brand new player. We've not had those submitted before.

So no matter how old they are, and whether they're in a vendor machine or not, the National Neo slash National High Top is a new player. So congratulations to you, Andrew. I'm imagining. I'm imagining Andrew living in the... It's sort of north of Nagoya where obviously Nagoya Grandpa say it

ply their trade. I just imagine Geifu's got a nice sort of castle. Just Geif, just... Andrew's sitting in the middle of his lovely castle looking out on all of the rest of Geifu. Yeah, lovely. I mean, it's about...

When was the last time you visited? A couple years now. I need to pull me fingers out, I tell you what. Should we do an email from... Yeah, well, I read an email before we chip up. Oh, for you, doors off by the Zanz and things. Yeah, I'm tired of that. I've got a two-year-olds.

You've had a stinker. How's your, how's your toddler sleeping? Sleeping fine, potty training is going poorly. Anybody got any tips to just get us nailed? It's cracking on for three now. This needs to be side out. It's getting... I'm in the same position.

Our potty training has been non-existent. It's getting annoying. Yeah. annoyingly. Like, she doesn't seem to notice. The modern nappies just suck the moisture away anyway and they don't notice that they've pissed. So even the days where we're going pants off Saturday

and she does notice. You've done that for years, pants off Saturday, haven't you? That's obviously a rule that, you know, that's not even about potty trainers. It's just something that we're doing every Saturday. But pants off Saturday is just, and then I tried to buy these like sort of training pants that are kind of like half nappies, half pants.

She doesn't notice when she's weighing in them. It's really quite demoralizing in my mind. We've not made any progress either, but I think it will come in time. You've got a couple of months on us. Yeah, but yeah, I just think maybe there's a sweet spot. We've missed it. And that's him now until he's 18. It is more difficult for boys, apparently.

It is more difficult for boys, apparently. Go let's get it. But it's not been in the morning. I've stopped setting an alarm in the morning because my son just wakes up so early. There's no point. And then we're talking about quarter to six basically every morning. Ready to start the day, right? It's barbaric, right?

And then randomly the other morning, luckily it was a day I was working from home. He just slept into a quarter to eight. I just woke up and I was like, what the fuck? It's light outside. What's going on? I was completely discombobulated. Yeah. And I went into his room and he's a sleep.

But I was almost like, I had to stop myself saying, what are you doing? Get up. Because I was really pleased. I actually wanted it to. carry on. So I was like, oh, I was like, well done. Well done for sleep. But it's the uncertainty that gets you.

So people think, people who haven't got kids think, oh, the early mornings will be tough. And of course, you know, they can be. But to me, it's the unpredictability. Yeah. You could be woken up at 5.45. You could be woken up at 4. But you also could be woken up at 8.

At 8 o'clock. Have a nice sleep. It means you can never rest. It means you can never rest. You're literally waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning and going to go off a piss and you're going, I mean, this could be two hours or this could be another four hours. Who knows? Who fucking knows.

Oh, I forgot just heard him. Yeah. Anyway. I did walk past her room last night and she was having, I think, a big sweaty nightmare. And she shouted, Daddy. And so I was able to just walk in immediately. And I go, yes. And it was great timing.

I felt very, it was quite lovely that she'd sort of having a bad dream. And that's the person she shouts at. And I'm physically not an imposing individual who's sort of can't protect her in many senses. No, but you're full of love. I'm full of love that will protect us all. What time does your daughter normally wake up in the morning on average? You don't want to know. I do want to know.

Stop pressing that bruise. Stop. Just tell me. Stop it. It can be, it's never before seven. Fuck off. See, she, fuck off. Discrace.

Look, where the rubber hits the road is going to be where the bars come off the cot and the cot becomes a bed. I think that's going to be there. Oh, my boy's in a big boy bed now. In a big boy bed, right? Okay. Yeah. when she can escape, that's going to be a real... I just feel like he got too big for the cot.

It felt like he was penned in. Yeah. I don't know. So I simply bought a bed and ordered my wife to put it together. Brilliant. Anyway, an email here from Ewan, before we go. Ewan, hello to you. He says, hi, Luke and Pete.

Following on from your recent correspondence regarding trains and their thresholds regarding hitting animals, oh, it's one of those emails. If you're of a nervous disposition or a vegetarian or you don't like hearing about this kind of stuff, bear it in mind. Ewan says, I thought I'd get in touch to say that I've recently been on a train that hit a cow on the Dartmoor line, brackets exeter to Oak Hampton. Whoa. While the train did not derail, there was a big jolt and it was genuinely quite terrifying for about 10 seconds.

It turned my 40-minute commute into a five-hour one with the train unable to move forward as we had to wait for. a train to become available from Exeter to come and rescue us just to take us back to where we had come from. They had to wait for taxis to take us back to deepest, darkest, Oak Hampton. Overall, it was not a fun experience, although I'm sure the cow probably came off worse. Keep up the good work. I enjoyed the semi-recent appreciation of the name Ewan across the Luke and Pete Show and Ramble, even if mine is not spelled the correct way.

Many thanks, Ewan, spelled E-W-A-N. We were talking about my friend from school, E-U-N, but I should let you know, E-U-N, but I should let you know, E-W-N-N, that I have a brother-in-law who spells his name E-W-A-N, who is a lovely chap. And so I'm not averse to E-W-A-Ns who spell it that way at all. Yeah. I wish someone had released the E-N-Files on this whole sorry situation. That's disappointing to finish on. I think we should have files.

What would be in your files? Boring. This guy wrote a lot. This guy sent a lot of emails. Hang on, he's done four hours of YouTube interviews with World War I veterans. What? And then he's watched the in-betweeners again. Googled Emily attack a lot.

Right, we'll be back. Nord these emails just appear to be complaints to British Airways. Ignore it, deleting emails from car hire companies. Oh, yeah, that's definitely one of them. I see the one of you. Yeah. All right. We'll be back very soon Monday, if you'll allow us.

If you've got an email for us, do get in touch. It is, God, I've... Hello at Luke and Peture.com. Some email addresses have to read out is sure. Sometimes it's something, something podcast.g.com, the less professional ones. And sometimes it's just hello at Luke and Pete Show. I mean, you do none of them well. Hello and Luke at Luke and Pete Shaw.com.

We're back on Monday. Look after yourselves. other and get more factories in the fucking robot for crying a love i've added you as a friend on chess.com by the way i'll get right on it right ta-ta ta-ta on to e5 the luke and pete show is a stack production and part of the a cast creator network
