Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Luca Pete Show. It is Thursday the 27th of June. We're nearly in July, people. Bloody hell. That's an issue. That's an issue. That is an issue. We all fall down.
Starting point is 00:00:17 We all fall down. How's it going, Peter? I'm all right. Staying out of trouble. Just kind of... I see you've got a Monster Energy drink on the go at the moment. You can't be staying out of that much trouble. No, it's true. I'm unleashing
Starting point is 00:00:29 the Ultra Beast, you know me. I am back on the Zero Sugar Monster Energy Ultra. Don't know what makes it Ultra. I don't know what makes it different from the empty can I've got here of the peachy keen. I might sort of stack them up like a student and just watch as wasps descend on the apology cabin.
Starting point is 00:00:48 How many, I remember back in the day, we're speaking about university time on Monday, back in the day, I remember one of the guys who lived with someone I knew had vodka bottles all around the picture of his room. Lovely, lovely. What are you trying to achieve with that, do you think?
Starting point is 00:01:03 I don't know. I mean, I guess putting... Would that not kind of... Would the remnants of the vodka not evaporate into the ether and then you breathe in and then you become... More pissed. Like, you're basically hotboxing with booze, aren't you? But do you think that when we... We'd have been about 19, 20 at the time.
Starting point is 00:01:18 And just say he did get lucky with a lady. Is she going back there and getting impressed by that? I guess if you're... Because what else is he doing it? If alcohol's quite new to you, I think someone who looks like they've had access to it for a long time
Starting point is 00:01:32 probably seems quite impressive. Well, it's like the Hartlepool can man, isn't it? The bloke who put cans all around his council house in Hartlepool. They're not there anymore, let's make that very clear. He must be dead. I think... No, I don't think he is, but his...
Starting point is 00:01:50 It's called the Cannes house, wasn't it? His love affair with art has ceased to be, I think. They might have been evicted actually. I don't think you're allowed to do that sort of thing. Yeah, apparently, according to Vice, which ironically itself has been cancelled, hasn't it? I i mean it's always
Starting point is 00:02:05 good it's always good that um your hometown is featured in vice because it's always for a good reason isn't it always a good reason nothing bad can never come from that no um but it's apparently it has been um because apparently because didn't they um didn't they like um try and make out it was like legitimately like an art installation i believe believe so, but again, wasps. You're just attracting wasps needlessly, in my opinion. Yeah, so apparently there's 75,000 beer cans. These are vice's words, not mine. Arranged into intricate and beautiful patterns.
Starting point is 00:02:41 But the property developer 13 purchased, compulsory purchased the home and subsequently demolished it in 2018 why did they demolish the whole home I mean those houses I know that the way today I know that road York Road so challenging road sort of way and I mean that's it I did drive past it I couldn't get down it because there was a massive police presence last weekend but I tell you what in the front of one of them I walked past one not long ago massive police presence last weekend. But yeah, those houses are fine. I tell you what, in the front of one of them,
Starting point is 00:03:07 I walked past one not long ago and there was a horse in the front of it. Someone just popped a horse in the council house, front garden, horse.
Starting point is 00:03:16 That's the stuff. That's like a live, actual horse. Yeah, just sat there. I'm like, this is, I'm sure that's against the rules.
Starting point is 00:03:22 It was a bitty main road. Before I unpack that, can I just finish with this? Many Hartlepool locals love the Cairn House and were happy to lend a hand. It soon became a DIY social club, a place to come together over cheap lager. Others, though, scorned the work as an embarrassment or a symbol of moral decay.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Which side of the fence do you fall on there, Peter? Oh, no, I think it's beautiful. And also the symbol of moral decay. Did they not notice the Christ crucifix motifs on the side of the house i mean that's disrespectful it was almost like a church installation isn't it yeah exactly yeah peter why was there a horse in the front garden of a house near where you live well somebody owned a horse clearly or they were holding it for a friend but they they could just get a horse, can't they? They could just get a horse. No one checks it. I reckon I could fit a horse in this back garden. I reckon I could.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Obviously, yard. Is there police officers that just run over a cow? Yeah, and he's obviously been rightly pilloried for just smashing into a cow and presumably killing it. No, he didn't kill it. He didn't kill it. Did he make it lame? It's fine.
Starting point is 00:04:23 No, it's actually fine. It's actually fine. Well, then what's the issue then? Why is everyone Did he make it lame? It's fine. No, it's actually fine. It's actually fine. Well, then what's the issue then? Why is everyone complaining? It's a bad look, fine. But if that cow's got the red mist descended, you've got to take matters into account. It was just a cow walking down the street, though, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:04:38 But I think local farmers did say, yeah, that's what I would have done. I don't think that happened either. I'm not really sure who that says the bad thing about. I'm not sure that, you know, puts the onus on
Starting point is 00:04:49 farmers to do better. I don't think anyone said that's fine to do that. It did. The farmer said that's probably what I would have done. Sensible.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I would have ran the cow with my car. Is there footage? Can I see it? You haven't seen the footage? I haven't even seen the footage. I thought, you know what?
Starting point is 00:05:04 It's one of those things where it's like, I'm going to enjoy or be repulsed by this. I'll stick it on the back burner and I'll get to it as soon as I can. So the farmer involved and his partner said that it was a disgusting incident in which the police officer would lose his job.
Starting point is 00:05:21 The Home Secretary was involved during an election campaign. He called for a full and urgent explanation. But the cow has no broken bones and is recovering in a barn back on the farm. But the thing I find weird about it is that the police officer doing it has been removed from frontline duties as a punishment. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:45 And I just thought to myself, fine, but what are you bringing to the admin game behind the scenes? Yeah. That makes that a good decision because when faced with an, let's face it, a cow shaped admin problem in the first place, you ran it over.
Starting point is 00:06:01 So what are you bringing to these other aspects of the job that are actually going to be decent? Well, what I worry that it's going to be like a category D right off that car, and they're going to strip it of all of the vinyl police... You're worried about the car now, are you? ...adornments, and that's going to be out there. That's going to be on auto-trader within the week
Starting point is 00:06:16 with all of the wires pulled out and stuff like that, and that will hit a cow, and we won't know about it. Yeah. It's a really interesting angle that we haven't um contemplated before i don't think you can defend the police but i i spoke to a police officer friend of mine and said what's happening here and he was like yeah that's bollocks you should be doing that but he said to me once he said once he got he was on duty first thing in the morning about four in the morning and he got um and And he got a call saying that there were some horses running up the A3,
Starting point is 00:06:49 which is a main road from Portsmouth to London, A road, and that they needed to be caught and removed before rush hour. Right, yeah. It was the most stressful call he's ever had. What did he, how did they manage to fix it? I think they called local... I think they have a thing with it. For certain things, they just call local experts.
Starting point is 00:07:09 I think they had some farmers come down and corral them. Have they got a list of things? For elephant, ring this number. For, I don't know, a big shoe, ring a cobbler. You know what I mean? For USB keys, ring Pete Donaldson. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Your expertise. If we were doing a police procedural drama show, you'd be the guy in the office who was the tech expert, has it got like for USB keys ring Pete Donaldson yeah exactly yeah you'll help them
Starting point is 00:07:25 if we were doing a police if we were doing a police procedural drama show you'd be the guy in the office who was the tech expert wouldn't you yeah and I'd come in and I'd be like
Starting point is 00:07:31 I don't think that's the way things work you'd have like an unrequited crush on the hottest woman in the show yes because that's how
Starting point is 00:07:41 it always works isn't it maybe at the end depending on how how mawkish the writers are feeling, at the end, you would actually get married to her. Get married to her, yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:49 This sounds great. You up for that? I want to see it. You've never got to leave the house. Yeah, yeah. Would you like your backstory to be that you used to be an amazing hacker,
Starting point is 00:07:56 but now you're a poacher turned gamekeeper? No, I think I used to be like a police sniper. That's not believable. You've got glasses. What do you mean? That would make me a better sniper,
Starting point is 00:08:10 wouldn't it? Oh yeah, you always see sharpshooters with glasses. You probably do. How many sharpshooters do you know? Someone said that about Lawrence Fox there, didn't they? Lawrence Fox posted a photo of himself
Starting point is 00:08:21 holding a sign, another attention-seeking sign, saying, why don't you trust your immune system about the vaccines, right? And the first comment was, you're literally wearing glasses. Why don't you trust your eye system? Yeah, brilliant.
Starting point is 00:08:36 It's absolutely ridiculous. But I don't think people would believe that you're a former sniper. That's the problem. I think I would. I think I've got that kind of unpredictability that has come through a chaotic lifestyle in my younger years. I gave it all up. I was tired of watching the red mist as my bullets penetrated people's skulls from miles away.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I was tired of it. By the way, with snipers, people think that they snipe all the time, but I reckon they probably only do, I reckon they probably only kill like 10 people in their whole career. Well, I reckon it's like, I was telling Vish about cricket. I was telling Vish about cricket.
Starting point is 00:09:17 It's an interesting sport because you can, like there's nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, really important event, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. And that really important event lasts for a second and that can fuck up your entire career or it's you know fuck up the match with one or two or three balls and it's a very small period of time with football why were you saying this um because i just said he just needs to give it up because it's silly um but like sniping is like you just do nothing nothing you're just waiting waiting
Starting point is 00:09:45 and your percentage of you say that you're a sniper but you spend none of your time doing the sniping yeah it's more just adjusting for wind
Starting point is 00:09:56 like the like the slight dip of the bullet as it flies through the air and just consulting charts and tightening little screws here and there it's just pissing about isn't it yeah it's probably very computerized now as well possibly yeah you know the guys who do the old wildlife filming for like the attenborough shows
Starting point is 00:10:13 they're not sleeping are they so no no but similar principle because they got except pete they've they've chosen to give peace a chance and they're using a camera rather than a gun some of those guys will be up a tree for a week waiting for a migration and they're using a camera rather than a gun. Some of those guys will be up a tree for a week waiting for a migration and they're shitting in a bucket and stuff. It's all about patience.
Starting point is 00:10:31 But can they not just sort of, I mean, they're not sleeping up there, are they? I think they are, yeah. In like a high tree hammock, so to speak.
Starting point is 00:10:39 In a canopy and stuff, yeah. Yeah. Is that true? I think so, yeah. Can you not just remote control this sort of stuff nowadays well i think maybe now these days maybe there's a more more kind of drone based work goes on but but um that that that um sniper the white death the finnish sniper remember i told you about
Starting point is 00:10:55 him he yeah he he was he is like the the the most prolific sniper of all time and he he fought for finland um in the second world war and his his um record is absolutely remarkable i mean he he um there's reports that across i think it was three months in finland in the winter when there's only about three hours a day of light he killed like 500 people right okay that's His nickname was the White Death. He's estimated to have shot over 500 Soviet soldiers. And he only stopped in 1940 because he was wounded. Right. What was his...
Starting point is 00:11:37 Why was he... Was he just taking up better kind of positions than anyone else? Or was he just really good at kind of judging the fight? Apparently, he was really good at staying still and staying out in really cold weather much longer than everyone else. Right. He was apparently really small. I think he was only like 5'3 or something.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yes, short king. Yeah, he was a short king. He would hide in like snow pits and just lie there and not move. Right. For Finland as well well that's probably quite very small isn't it yeah and uh but unfortunately he um he was spotted at one point uh and he was shot in the face he survived he survived um but he had a really bad um disfigurement of his face after that um but yeah absolute character hmm decent when did he pass he passed i was to tell
Starting point is 00:12:28 you now he passed so he passed in 2002 at the ripe old age of 96 that does seem he was shot by a sniper he wasn't he wasn't yeah he shot he shot a bullet so far it went around the world in the back of his head yeah in the back of his head. Hit him in the back of the head. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what happened, yeah. But it's horrific, I know, but it is quite a fascinating story, really. Definitely, definitely. I mean, because you're right to point out the idea that people think it'll be really cool, but ultimately, what is it going to be?
Starting point is 00:12:56 99.9% of waiting. I think you'd be a much better sniper than me. You're more furtive than me. You're smaller. Furtive? You're better with tech. Where's that come from? No, I would just be like,
Starting point is 00:13:09 I would not be shooting, and I'd be like, I wonder what it sounds like. And then I bang, and then I blow my position. You blow your nuts off. Yeah. Anyway, on that delicate note,
Starting point is 00:13:21 let's take a break. And when we come back, Pete's got a battery for us all to marvel at. Enjoy. enjoy we're back with a look at pete shaw every single thursday we talk about batteries if you found a battery in something you've got well we want to hear about it once we want a picture but for this one bit of a special uh opportunity i found a pair of AAA batteries in a wireless keyboard. Very nice. A wireless keyboard. Again, we were talking about this last week.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I bought it. It worked for a bit. It stopped working. Never going to return it. No. Rubbish. That'll stay in the apology cabin. Can I have a TC Best?
Starting point is 00:14:01 TC Best. Hold it up to the camera. It's out of focus. Can you... TC Best. Okay, yeah, I'll have a look. Yeah, TC Best. TC Best. Hold it up to the camera. It's out of focus. Can you... TC Best. Okay, yeah, I'll have a look. Yeah, TC Best. I'll have a look for you now, mate.
Starting point is 00:14:11 So you are... Are you excited for this? Yeah, we are. TC Best. How many people do you think have sent this in before? I'm not sure it's a new player. I think I might have heard of it before. Three?
Starting point is 00:14:23 You are the 15th person to send 15 oh doctor heal thyself that's awful that's an awful performance the first person to send in tc best was paul harrison hello to you paul if you're still listening back in 2021 and they've been pretty consistently delivered obviously people listening need to understand that we can't read every single one that comes in so you may have sent one in like for example daniel bond who sent his in in august of 2022 he told us a story um about a uh embarrassing story in canada about a toilet uh but he also flexed with the uh tc best double a battery uh at the end of it so um it's been consistently sent in duracell don't be holding up youracell to the camera. Don't cheapen this entire process.
Starting point is 00:15:06 There's little remote controls all around me and I'm just wondering if I can sort of energise. Fuck off. You're a basic bitch. This has gone terribly. Absolutely awful. What about our listeners? Will they fare any better than you, do you think?
Starting point is 00:15:20 Well, let's just hope. Andrew has got in touch. I was at my mom's house uh today with my 12 month old boy and as luke will be painfully aware if there's one thing infants babies toddlers love it's a remote control yeah the amount of times a day i say that's not for ruby that's for daddy that's for daddy that's for daddy's pictures sometimes it's a bottle of vodka sometimes it's a remote control um do you find that even um the things that they love watching they'll turn off because they're too excited to play with a remote control. Do you find that even the things that they love watching, they'll turn off because they're too excited to play with a remote control?
Starting point is 00:15:49 My son has shown no interest whatsoever in watching the screen. Right, okay, fine. He's just not bothered about it. I put on a bit of Peppa Pig for him the other day just to see if he'd like it. He watched it for about two or three minutes and just started hitting the phone. What is this pig's motivation? He likes banging toys together and crawling around and grabbing things. That's what he likes.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Fair dues. All right. Well, which of course, says Andrew, means I have to remove the cell so the little fella can play with his heart's content without me having to worry about him ingesting the odd GP alkaline every now and again. Oh, yeah. So my wife also did that with... Walk! So basically
Starting point is 00:16:28 because I'm a tedious prick I've got quite an expensive hi-fi as you know. And it's made by, for those people listening who care about this stuff, it's got a Marantz amp, a Riga turntable
Starting point is 00:16:44 and spent door speakers, right? I've just jizzed. It's decent. Yeah. And one of the remotes, my wife chose to give to our son to play with. Right. And if I know audiophile equipment, that's probably about 50 quid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Rather than just give him the remote to the Sky box, which take the batteries out of that. If I call Sky, they'll send me another one of those tomorrow for free. Right? Right. Play with that. No. Get off my Danone. Get off my Marantz.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Danone makes yoghurts. Danone. Put them together. Danone and Danone. Together at last. What's in this battery package? Finish the email. It's yoghurt.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Anyway, all right. You were talking about your fucking cable wires that you elevate off the floor with ceramic discs. Do you know what? I should show you. I'll show you later on. I'll FaceTime you later and I'll show you the cables I've got for my hi-fi.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Let me guess, golden. They are absolutely ridiculous. And I got them at cost, possibly even for free from a friend of mine in the industry. And I looked them up and I could not believe how much people would pay for cables. Yeah. Good stuff. It's remarkable.
Starting point is 00:17:52 But anyway, carry on. Yeah. Audio files. I told you there was a man in Japan who didn't trust the electricity he was getting into his house. So he got his own substation installed in the front of his garden. He thought the sharing the electric with everybody else on his street was affecting his jazz records anyway so these cables that's that's that's so on brand right these cables i've got are by a company called audio quest right and um i'm actually going to find the exact ones right now listen but surely you're just
Starting point is 00:18:22 but surely the the the record itself the vinyl itself um are you a vinyl head or are you just kind of yeah you just use right well i just i just sort of think that it's i mean it's very lossy anyway it's very crackly anyway these cables right i didn't pay them i didn't pay them for them at cost yeah they're 365 pounds Yeah. They're £365 each. I hope River pulls them to pieces. Can I just say, this company, AudioQuest... Sicko. Guess how much their most expensive audio cables are. These are just audio cables to run from amp to speaker.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah. There's no upper limit. They sell those little ceramic discs for, like, 50 quid a pop to elevate the wires off the floor so it doesn't pick up any resonant fucking, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:08 It's all just... I've just WhatsApped you. I've just WhatsApped you the most expensive cable product. I want to hear your reaction on there. Click on that link. Okay. It's not come through yet.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It has come through. Even WhatsAp's not... Use the technology. WhatsAp's not having any of it. Futureshop.co.uk. What is it? RCA to... It's just more RCA. It's RCA to RCA... Oh of it futureshop.co.uk what is it RCA to it's just more RCA
Starting point is 00:19:27 it's RCA to RCA oh god they look disgusting they look they've got like what's that little kind of extra bit I don't know oh my god six grand
Starting point is 00:19:36 tell people how much they are I mean excluding that five and a half grand with that it's cracking on for seven grand for a cable I mean that's like but it's got like
Starting point is 00:19:47 an extra little kind of you've got the audio cable then you've got this kind of like it's error checking so if you scroll down Peter it's got all the tech
Starting point is 00:19:54 it's got all the tech in there right yeah I mean oh so here we go RF drain ground reference
Starting point is 00:20:01 so it's got it's own ground there's an air tube. There's like the sort of foil. There's a graphene carbon mesh network. I mean... You must be excited looking at that, shouldn't you? I am, but I also know that a lot of it is just snake oil, Luke.
Starting point is 00:20:17 That's all. They're taking advantage of people who know enough to buy the best cables but don't know enough to know that it's all bollocks. But it can't be, can it? A lot of it is bollocks. I think it's probably diminishing returns, right? Yeah. In terms of quality.
Starting point is 00:20:32 But I think it's pretty sound, right? You're a folk figure. Man, your ears are not listening to anything that's worth... You're not taking advantage of this. I've not got those cables. I'm just showing as an example. That's what they sell them for. But my point is just that they're a really well-respected high-end hi-fi company.
Starting point is 00:20:47 And I understand it's diminishing returns on quality. But surely there's a lot of R&D going into those. I would say that looking at the cross-section of that cable with the DBS field element, the silver RF drain, I'm sure to a certain extent it's bollocks. But at least they're doing something new and they're not just kind of reselling like because you can buy like you know i always take the piss about my mate because he bought a 60 quid um hdmi cable when you know back when he bought it you know hdmi is digital it either works or it doesn't work right there's no kind
Starting point is 00:21:20 of interference that can be had really um. Nowadays, it's slightly more complex. But, yeah, it looks like they're doing something different. It looks like they've tried. It looks like they're trying to add something rather than the absolute bollocks that a lot of these absolute charlatans get away with selling. All right? And that's as far as I'll go.
Starting point is 00:21:39 All right, let's go back to Andrew's email. Comes in a nice box. That's all you're getting out of me. Yeah, Andrew's found a large alkaline battery. L-A-R-G-E. I'm not fucking doing large. Next.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Why? Next. Large. Just hard to find. It's just hard to find. Large have been sent in over a hundred times. I'll tell you that now.
Starting point is 00:21:56 All right. Well, I don't think you're going to find gritty anymore. Next. Next. Next. Thanks, Andrew.
Starting point is 00:22:03 You've got a cute picture of your son included. Much appreciated. Yeah, good stuff. But we're not going any further with that. And've got a cute picture of your son included. Much appreciated. But we're not going any further with that. And that's a good thing. If you are willing to give us underwhelming batteries, send us a picture of your kids and that'll be fine. We won't go in with two feet.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Michael, I've drank too much Monster Energy drink. Excuse me. I'm Michael, a Slovak living in wonderful Lithuania for the past three years. I was really surprised that Pete popped in last year and I missed him. I'm actually going to Bratislava in a couple of months' time for the weekend. Lithuania is a
Starting point is 00:22:36 wonderful country with a troubled history nestled between superpowers that have kept its pride and traditions and a unique language that's like nothing like any other. Apparently the oldest language in Europe, as in modern Lithuanians wouldn't have much trouble reading a document dating back centuries and has many similarities to Sanskrit.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Awesome. It's got an interesting set of languages in Europe. Finnish is very interesting. Hungarian's very interesting. Albanian. Lithuanian. Wild. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:03 If you pop, next time in Vilnius, pop into the Lukiski's prison. No relation to Luke, I think. No, I don't think so. This was first used by the Nazis and then by the KGB to get rid of unwelcome people,
Starting point is 00:23:16 both on the spot and deportation. It has a large collection of all kinds of stuff. People might appreciate the collection of different gadgets like wiretapping equipment and cameras disguised as other items
Starting point is 00:23:24 for covert monitoring of people. You are right in your summation of that. Check out the four-metal band Ukinos for a demo. I have no relation with them, full disclosure. Anyway, the other day I needed to do a hard reset on a misbehaving bathroom scale, not because the numbers don't go down as fast as I'd like. And I was quite surprised when I popped the back cover, as I expect to see one of those button batteries,
Starting point is 00:23:46 but instead was greeted by four of these ones. Kendall. The scale itself is made by T-File, so it's not branded. Hoping for entering the hallowed halls of battery explorers. Thanks for the hours of amazing content, your friend Michael. Michael, great email, really interesting stuff,
Starting point is 00:24:00 and great to hear about a prison full of lovely bits of tech. Kendall are not a new player, unfortunately. They've been sent in, I think, five or six times before. I thought this was going to be quite a low score in one for me. I can't believe it's five or six. Kendall, I don't recall, really.
Starting point is 00:24:15 It doesn't ring a huge amount of bells with me, but it's been sent in loads of times before, so I'm afraid I can't pull the wool over your eyes, Michael. You have not sent a new player in there, despite the interest in your email. It would ring a bell if you put the battery in, I suppose, if it was an electric bell. Hi, guys. Today I submit Zurn Super Heavy Duty AA's to the Battery Daddy.
Starting point is 00:24:34 I found these inside my daughter's musical Disney Little Mermaid bubble wand, which for some reason I decided to put new batteries in. I regret my decision. Everything's covered in weird bubbles. Dan, Zurn, heavy duty. Super heavy duty, in fact. Z-E-R-N-E. They've been sitting three times before.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Jeremiah, our friend Jeremiah, sent them in for the very first time at 5.21pm on Christmas Day of 2021. Oh, dear. That's commitment for you. That is commitment for you. All right, well, we have got one final one. We're trying to rescue
Starting point is 00:25:07 this segment for this Thursday. Peter has got in touch. We don't normally do this many batteries, but fuck it, I say. Hello there. Unfortunately,
Starting point is 00:25:14 my daughter left her robotic cat that she got in Grand Canary out in the garden and the battery leaked. I was expecting a basic bitch of a battery to have powered it,
Starting point is 00:25:21 but found these bad boys instead. Hua-hong! Hua-hong! Super heavy duty. Also, the third person to send those in. basic bitch of a battery to have powered it but found these bad boys instead. Wahong! Wahong! Super heavy duty. Also the third person to send those in. They were first sent in
Starting point is 00:25:31 all the way back in August 2018. Oh nuts. Never mind. I'm afraid you're a bit slow on the draw there Peter as well. Speaking of the old replacing of batteries in kids toys
Starting point is 00:25:42 my son had this basically this Mexican maraca. You Mexican maraca. Every time you shook it, it would just go, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. It became tedious and it started to malfunction
Starting point is 00:25:56 and so it would just go off in the toy box. So we had to just chuck it away. Normally we'd give it to, there's quite a lot of kids on our street so we would just hand it down to a younger baby or whatever, but it was, it was broken.
Starting point is 00:26:06 So I put it in the bin. The wheelie bin outside. And, um, genuine, like genuinely, uh, about three days later,
Starting point is 00:26:15 I was outside the front of the house and the bin men came and one of them pulled the bin, wheeled the bin towards the bin lorry. And I heard it go off in the bin. Absolutely insatiable. Somewhere in a massive rubbish dump somewhere, it's still bin towards the bin lorry and I heard it go off in the bin. Absolutely insatiable. Somewhere in a massive rubbish dump somewhere it's still going. Yeah, that and that laptop
Starting point is 00:26:30 that's got all the Bitcoin on it just jiggling away. That guy's still looking for that, isn't he? Yeah. He has to keep applying to courts for extensions, doesn't need to look for it and stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:37 He'll die alone, bless him. He'll die sad and alone. Oh, I've just killed a fly with my hands. Whoa. Mr. Miyagi. Mr. Bloody Miyagi, I tell you what. Yeah, I would say that...
Starting point is 00:26:49 Did you put it in the right bin, though? Should you be putting lithium batteries in bins? Yes, I put it in the right bin. You put it in the right bin, okay. How many bins do you have? Do you have a few? Three. Three.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Let me guess. Do you remember when people got obsessed on Facebook with bin men? What do you mean? As in, like with bin men what do you mean as in like they used to come around a lot more no yeah they're just like people just say
Starting point is 00:27:11 oh yeah they used to come all the way up to your front door and they're always really cheerful and they'd have wheelie beer
Starting point is 00:27:16 it's a weird thing one that we talked about it it's a weird Facebook phenomenon that people just thought the secrets of the best life
Starting point is 00:27:20 back in the day was the fact that the bin men were cheerful yeah they never were They never were. They never were. Probably never existed, no.
