Starting point is 00:00:00 It's Thursday it is the Luke and Pete show and it's still a stonking hot one Pete and Luke in the studio getting hot how you doing?
Starting point is 00:00:13 good, hot still what's going on? still, I was just gagging for a bit of sunshine this summer I feel very short change and now it's actually arrived it's actually quite overbearing
Starting point is 00:00:21 isn't it? it's all or nothing mate it is all or nothing absolutely all or nothing and we don't do ourselves any favours because I think people just think of us
Starting point is 00:00:28 as being British so we always just complain about the weather whatever it is and what I would say to that is I won't complain
Starting point is 00:00:35 about it if it's roughly room temperature with a nice breeze every day my biggest complaint about weather in the UK is it's just
Starting point is 00:00:43 too much of it I wonder if we could ever live in a in the uk is it's just too much of it i wonder if the um we could ever live in a place on on the planet that's just nice not too hot not too cold nice breeze i wonder where the most palatable place to live weather-wise is in the world and that depends on your individual kind of preferences outlook but say for example if you like your living room to be 18 degrees, right? That's pretty bit cold. 19. I just want it blue skies and crisp.
Starting point is 00:01:11 That's all I want. Do you? Okay. So do you like a winter's day when it's cold but crisp? I like that as well. Yeah, nice. What's your favourite season? I like summer, but I mean, I do abuse my body during the summer.
Starting point is 00:01:23 I just spend- In what way? Just drinking. Do you? Drinking. The winter months, I kind abuse my body during the summer. In what way? Just drinking. Do you? Drinking. The winter months, I kind of calm down a little bit. What are you talking about? You have beers at the end of the day every day?
Starting point is 00:01:33 No, no. I never drink at all. Not like that. What are you trying to say then? You just said you abuse your body, and now you're saying you don't drink. Well, because everyone's around, so I go, oh, let's go out for a drink. Yeah, cool.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And then I'm like, oh, I've had four drinks now. You never invite me for a drink. We drank at the London Podcast Festival. It's the British Podcast Awards. And it was crap. So what's that got to do with it? You spent all your time talking to cool people.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Cool people. I don't recall that. Okay, other people. Other people. Yeah. Other people. All right, fair enough. Is it bad form for me
Starting point is 00:02:03 to call the British Podcast Awards crap? I mean, you put in whatever you get out I guess no hang on you get out whatever you put in that's what I say right
Starting point is 00:02:11 in any situation are you brave enough to call it crap on the show no not as a judge oh yeah you are I forgot about that
Starting point is 00:02:17 have I put you in a difficult position there well you know it's all politics isn't it mate I can't be seen to be slating something that I'm a judge of
Starting point is 00:02:23 no are you a judge every year I have been yet probably tell his own story didn't it, mate? I can't be seen to be slating something that I'm a judge of. No. Are you a judge every year? I have been, yeah. Probably tell its own story, didn't it? We never win anything. I'll get no one in. I found a guitar pick in the back of my pocket,
Starting point is 00:02:35 and it just says, We're coming for you. And I've no idea where I got it from, why it says, We're coming for you. What's the thickness? I think the devil might have left it. It's a nice thickness. It's a nice light gauge.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I like a nice light gauge. If I'm playing guitar, that's the gauge I want. Yeah, yeah. I want plectrums. Why don't people call them plectrums anymore? What do they call them?
Starting point is 00:02:52 Picks. Picks, yeah. How many times do you use the word pick? How many times do you talk to guitarsmen, to axemen? I like it.
Starting point is 00:02:59 I like... Do you know what? You're going to hate me saying this. Right. I like going to music shops and talking to the people that work in there because they're all really intense yes and i quite like that
Starting point is 00:03:08 because they're really into it and i'm quite attracted to people who are really passionate about stuff right yeah so for example i remember you know obviously famously you and i went to that northampton vape shop yeah made me leave yeah so i kept asking questions just you're just talking to too many people yeah but they were stressing me out they were there they did but you wouldn't you had no intention of buying anything you're just wasting to too many people yeah but they work there they work there but you wouldn't you had no intention of buying anything you were just wasting their time
Starting point is 00:03:27 well we've had this discussion and I think it depends on your outlook stop bothering people in Vapur they don't know that I'm not going
Starting point is 00:03:34 to buy a thing that's point number one two it's probably boring if there's no one in there and three anyway the point I was going to make
Starting point is 00:03:39 was music shops are great for that so my friend Blair who's quite a successful singer songwriter if ever he's in town, because he doesn't live in London, and this is obviously before COVID,
Starting point is 00:03:49 we'll go for a beer, but he'll also take me to a few different kind of music shops, like on Denmonk Street and stuff, because he knows all the people in there, they supply him for his stuff, and it's like his job, so he goes in there,
Starting point is 00:03:57 and I'll go there with him, and I just don't really say much, but believe it or not, and it's interesting hearing them talk about stuff, because they know what they're talking about. Anyway. What's new in guitars what's new in instruments
Starting point is 00:04:06 well I haven't done it for a while because of Covid so I couldn't tell you anyway sometimes it does end up with me spending money on stuff I don't need and going home
Starting point is 00:04:12 at one point I did literally go home without playing to with a guitar a hard case an amp and a load of other accessories an amp as well
Starting point is 00:04:19 like that no I'd carry it all the way home anyway so I once went and you're going to hate me saying this but I once went, and you're going to hate me saying this, but I once went into the Games Workshop.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Yes. Probably about 10 years ago, so I would have been 30. I've never really played any kind of Warhammer stuff. Put a little lead figurine in your mouth. No, I didn't. I was early for something, and I went in there,
Starting point is 00:04:41 and I ended up being there for ages. Right. To the point where I was late for what I was supposed to be doing but I was just fascinated by it the depth of it is unbelievable and these guys were so passionate about it I couldn't get enough of hearing
Starting point is 00:04:54 them talk and then when I went to DragonCon a few years ago with my wife I ended up gravitating towards the Warhammer bit and that is serious then because you're talking about DragonCon, it's a big con and there's a whole massive Warhammer section, and it's in America, so they're all serious.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And it was incredible. They'd have tables the size of this studio full of these figurines playing these massive games that went on for hours. I just thought it was amazing. I'm quite attracted to the passion of it, even though I'm not personally
Starting point is 00:05:20 into the subject that much. I think it's probably seen, when we were at school, it's probably seen as being a bit sad was it or something yeah I guess so yeah it's always had that kind of but I mean you do walk
Starting point is 00:05:28 into a games workshop and there you know you can talk about the Space Marines you can talk about the the Warhammer old school stuff but the greatest adversary
Starting point is 00:05:36 in that world is very much is very much deodorant because it absolutely fucking honks. I don't know. It's the same at like games,
Starting point is 00:05:48 it's the same at like any kind of video game thing. Like the day that the public come in, it's just a lot of teenagers stinking the place out. And do you still call people, do you still call the everyday punter normals? Yeah. I don't want to hang out with the normals.
Starting point is 00:06:03 I don't want to hang out with the muggles. The muggles, yeah. Why do you think it is that? Why do you think there's everyday punter normals? Yeah. I don't want to hang out with the normals. I don't want to hang out with the muggles. The muggles, yeah. Why do you think it is that? Why do you think there's a deodorant problem? Because you get that a lot more now, I find, when there's no smoking in venues. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:14 You go to a pub, you go to a gig, you go anywhere where it's... I mean, you can't really do much of that anymore, I suppose, even though it's Freedom Day this week. How did you celebrate Freedom Day,
Starting point is 00:06:22 by the way? I don't know. As I was coming into the office, a man on a bike, shirtless, went, take your mask off, mate. It's Freedom Day. It's done. We're done.
Starting point is 00:06:31 We're free. Did he actually? You've been serious? He did. What did he look like? If one of East 17 had like a wasting disease, it was like that, basically. Just a little tore up.
Starting point is 00:06:43 A couple of them did look like that. Very gaunt. Very gaunt, unwell-looking man. What, he just piped up? Just piped up. I don was like that, basically. Just a little toe rub. A couple of them did look like that. Very gaunt. Very gaunt, unwell-looking man. What, he just piped up? Just piped up. I don't like that. I had a mask underneath my chin. I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I don't like it. It's not very... For me, and this is what I've said to you before, and I've certainly said it to other people before, the problem with the modern world, right,
Starting point is 00:07:00 and I'm going to sound old saying this, is that I'm pretty sure back in the day, in Britain, it was a stiff upper lip, don't say shit to anyone, saying this. I'm pretty sure back in the day in Britain, it was stiff upper lip, don't say shit to anyone, come country. Now everyone's got an opinion.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I know it's ironic me saying that because we are essentially broadcasters and we always talk about our opinions. But genuinely, in the everyday street, unless I'm going to a vape shop, a games workshop, or a music shop.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I'm not approaching anyone. I don't go up to anyone. Yeah. Why is he doing that? Well, maybe that's his version of doing a podcast but instead of hitting
Starting point is 00:07:28 getting loads of people at the same time like we are scattergun he's just very forensic about who he wants to talk to who he wants to
Starting point is 00:07:35 direct desire at yeah and people think when we do this show that we're really good at just talking about anything and we just go on these threads
Starting point is 00:07:41 of fancy stuff and what it is is we get sidetracked and we can't remember what we're talking about originally so we just carry on right? Correct yeah Anyway I did want to say to you that in the summer obviously because you were talking about the summer
Starting point is 00:07:52 earlier and all this kind of crap I want to talk about what? I don't think there's any for that kind of language to something I was talking about. Do you know I found this earlier because I I was bitten by mosquitoes at this bloody barbecue last weekend
Starting point is 00:08:06 and I've still got the fucking bites it's annoying me I can see a couple on your arm yeah it's annoying me doozies and it made me think
Starting point is 00:08:12 that because my wife didn't get bitten at all and we were in the same place the same amount of time and I know I thought surface area
Starting point is 00:08:18 that's true so yeah the chances the straight percentage chances are that I want to get bitten more but anyway she was also wearing a wetsuit I thought it was I thought it was a myth that certain people That's true. So yeah, the chances, the straight percentage chances are that I want to get bitten more. But anyway... She was also wearing a wetsuit. I thought it was a myth
Starting point is 00:08:29 that certain people got bitten and certain people didn't. But apparently it isn't. Yeah, there's got to be some kind of variation about what the... People have got more delicious blood than others.
Starting point is 00:08:38 So apparently, mosquitoes can detect changes in carbon dioxide in their environment and they respond differently to different levels in carbon dioxide in their environment, and they respond differently to different levels of carbon dioxide. So you're a big windbag. If you exhale more, you've got more chance. I'm going to give you all the factors.
Starting point is 00:08:54 So if you're a windbag, you've got more chance. They're also attracted to certain compounds that are present on human skin and in sweat. So if you have body odor, I think you are less likely to be bitten. Right. Because I think the mosquito detects what is essentially the bacteria and doesn't want to go near it. Right. And then also, apparently, the color black is bad for mosquitoes.
Starting point is 00:09:23 They are attracted to the color black. Right. This is all based on... Don't wear that on a hot day anyway, I would say. Yeah, what, because it attracts heat? Yeah. Awful. I know that, right?
Starting point is 00:09:32 And I know that in some parts of the Middle East you see... So, for example, if you picture in your mind what you would, I guess, call a stereotypical Saudi man, he'd be dressed in white. Yeah. But I'm pretty sure... I'd love that to wear one of those today. What do they call them?
Starting point is 00:09:46 I want to say caftan, but it's not that, is it? Oh, God. Because we did, on the Wrestle Me, we did Crown Jewels, 2018 and 2019, where they went to Saudi Arabia.
Starting point is 00:09:57 I cannot remember the name of the garment that is worn. Anyway, you'd like to wear one of those. I'd like to wear one of those. I don't think anyone would stop you, would they? I would look like Wee Willie Winky, I think, walking around. You'd look like an eccentric old billionaire
Starting point is 00:10:11 who's got confused in the middle of the night, for sure. But anyway, I'm sure in certain parts of the Middle East they always seem to be wearing black. So I can't really... Really? Oh, yeah, kind of. Yeah, I don't know, really. Anyway, apparently mosquitoes have been proven to learn
Starting point is 00:10:24 to prefer certain types of hosts that, get this, in the past have given them good blood meals. I do not care for that. No, and I didn't think mosquitoes lived long enough for that. Because about 20% of hosts account for 80% of, if the mosquito is carrying a disease, that is, which doesn't happen in the UK. 20% of hosts account for 80% of disease
Starting point is 00:10:45 transmission apparently people who consume beer have proven to be more attractive to mosquitoes which is definitely me last weekend
Starting point is 00:10:52 and they're more attracted to pregnant women than non-pregnant women so don't drink beer don't be pregnant don't wear black do sweat as much as you can
Starting point is 00:11:04 and don't exhale a lot so don't be pregnant. Don't wear black. Do sweat as much as you can. And don't exhale a lot. So don't get pregnant. Or don't get, yeah, don't be a parent. Don't, and just sweat all the time. I mean, again, we're going back to the game workshop, really. In many ways. Have you ever seen a musket?
Starting point is 00:11:21 You're in a game's workshop. You probably haven't. You probably haven't. I mean, over the weekend, obviously, the thing that was really grinding my gears fucking flying ants mate flying ants all over the gaff like they just arrived
Starting point is 00:11:30 in where we were but they were certainly very popular in London but they really do dive bomb you they really do sort of attack you
Starting point is 00:11:37 it's awful I don't know why they do it and then the pigeons get involved and the seagulls get involved and they chomp chomp chomp
Starting point is 00:11:41 and because of the acid in the ants they just get pissed. Is that true? Yeah, and you see them just shitting everywhere because they're just pissed out their minds.
Starting point is 00:11:52 You must have eaten your first share of flying ants. Flying ants. Well, I was trying my best to get them in my mouth. It was horrible. What do you think about mosquitoes and what do you think
Starting point is 00:11:58 about Games Workshop? What do you mean? Just tell me what you think about them. They should be a game that encapsulates them both. There's a whole backstory to all the Games Workshop stuff, you know that. Warhammer 40,000 is a massive backstory to it.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You can read books about it. Mate, I've played it, mate. Have you? I've played it. Oh, we talked about it. Down at Myriad in Hartlepool. That's right. You used to go there, right?
Starting point is 00:12:16 Used to paint my little Citadel miniatures. Loved it. I liked painting them, I just didn't understand how that translated in actually playing with them. I liked doing the primer, and they always looked absolutely wonky but I was quite proud
Starting point is 00:12:27 of a few bits. Have you still got them? No. Why not? Because you thought it's not cool and you won't get it. Not cool.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Throw them in the bin. Fair enough. Let's throw this first half in the bin. When we come back we'll do some battery brands and then we shall do your emails.
Starting point is 00:12:41 It's going to be lots of fun Peter. I almost guarantee it. You can't guarantee it. I can't. But do stick around anyway. Okie dokie. We're back with big boys and battery brands. It's your Thursday. Luke and Pete, your people. Luke, what battery
Starting point is 00:12:54 brands have people been getting in touch with? Pictures? Videos? All the rest. I've got three more here. Carl Phillips has first been up with some large batteries. Just large. Just large. Not a new player, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Seen him a few times before, but thank you very much, Carl, for your efforts. He does make the point that they do appear to be vegan-friendly because they've got the V emblazoned on the sides. Why did they just put that on them? I mean, you shouldn't be eating batteries. I think it's just a happy... A bit rich.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I think it's just a happy coincidence, or unhappy coincidence. Okay. Well, thank you for sending that in. All these have come from Twitter, by the way, which is at Luke and Pete. Sam Myers sent in some Tinko. T-I-N-K-O. For me, they're also not a new player. I think they might be a new player for me. I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And I don't know why we didn't write these down, but we didn't. But if we do it just on the things you can remember, they're all going to be new players every fucking week. Could we not just search in the actual Gmail that we use to read all of the emails? Probably can. Probably can. The jury's out on those.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I say no, you say yes. They have to be unanimously voted through. And the final one, which I think may well be a new player, comes in from Milo Moss, again, also on Twitter, who sent in Urban Solar. Urban Solar. Urban Solar.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I think that's a new player. I agree. I think that is a new player. I think they probably go in some kind of... In my mind, they're in some kind of handheld, like, what's it called
Starting point is 00:14:21 when you go into a tanning salon? You have those... You sit in them to get a tan. Yeah. Sunbed. A sunbed. Can you get a handheld one in? Like a little one and just do your face?
Starting point is 00:14:32 Yeah. Why can't we do that? You've got stand-up ones. Why can't we just have a handheld one? The stand-up ones are spray ones, aren't they? No, no, no. You can get lit ones. I did one last year, I remember.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I walked past a tanning shop and I went, I want to be brown. And I did one. That's right I walked past the tanning shop and I went I want to be brown and I did one so it's alright for you to go to random shops I wasn't bothering anyone I was exchanging goods and services
Starting point is 00:14:52 and it didn't do anything I was only in it for like 7 minutes I was expecting to be completely tanned I think it's horrendously bad for you I think statistically
Starting point is 00:15:00 I think it's really bad I just think the sort of people I think sitting in the sun all day must be worse or the same well it's really bad I just think I just think the sort of people I think sitting in the sun all day must be worse or the same well it's the same thing
Starting point is 00:15:09 isn't it it is the same thing but I'm just saying you shouldn't do that either but it's just efficient though isn't it not wasting anyone's time not wasting your own time
Starting point is 00:15:15 I don't think I would be terrified the worst place I could be trapped would be a tanning salon I'd get sunburned so easily it would just be awful anyway Milo Moss
Starting point is 00:15:24 you sit in open solar. We agree they're a new player. Congratulations to you. You will get some kind of spiritual
Starting point is 00:15:31 prize in the form of some serious goodwill. Yeah, Luke, do you want to know that back in 2017 Nick Dalston came in with Tinko.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Bashar Dada also came in a year later with Tinko Superb. So we've had a lot of Tinkos. Had a lot later with Tinko Super Heavy Duty. So we've had a lot of Tinkos. Had a lot of Tinkos back in the day. And Kevin Corpo had some very strong opinions,
Starting point is 00:15:49 or had certainly had very strong opinions two years ago on the Foo Fighters. He may as well, and I quote, he may as well be pissing on Kurt Cobain's grave. That's a really worthy thing to say. It's really earnest. They've had a new album out, so he might have changed his opinion.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Kevin, if you're listening, get in touch. Let people make the music they want. And if you don't like it, you don't have to listen. One thing happening later doesn't affect the thing that happened before. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:16 We had this with The Ramble. The Ramble's different now. Things have got to move on. Things have got to evolve. You've got to move with the times. You've got to keep it fresh. What's happening with The Ramble now doesn't mean what we did before
Starting point is 00:16:25 isn't good or that you can't enjoy it still it's still there for you for free you can have a lovely time we still had a lovely time making it and now we're having a lovely time making a new type of show is that the same
Starting point is 00:16:33 when Nirvana and the Foo Fighters are set there much more important because Nirvana exists it doesn't mean the Foo Fighters can't exist right okay if you don't like it you don't have to get involved
Starting point is 00:16:42 yes I agree you know what I mean who's whole who's whole yeah like who's in agree you know what I mean who's Hall who's Hall yeah like who's in this analogy who's Hall oh who's Hall
Starting point is 00:16:49 the band Hall yeah I know who they are sorry the context just threw me a bit who's Pearl Jam in this analogy well Pearl Jam would probably be
Starting point is 00:16:57 I don't know Guardian Football Weekly yeah no because Nirvana Barry was tweeting tweeting about it on the weekend it's delicious when Barry has a little tweet up on a Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I'm like, party people! Saying the things we'd all like to say. Saying the things we all agree with, but then sadly deleting them. What a shame. If you're not familiar with football podcasting, you probably won't ever listen to this, but if you are, you'll know what we're talking about. Speaking of musicians that probably should have been cancelled a long time ago,
Starting point is 00:17:30 did you say that Cornelius, remember that Japanese guy? Used to be at Reading Festival every single year. Big fan of him back in the day. Ring the bell, yeah. He was doing the opening and closing ceremony music for the Tokyo Olympics. He's obviously a big swinging name in Japan. He released a lot of record decks back in the 90s and stuff. So I kind of know his work through the prism of old school hi-fis and stuff,
Starting point is 00:17:58 strangely enough. Very important, influential guy. But he did admit in an interview with a magazine in 1993, 1994, and repeated the accusation upon himself that when he was a child, he abused disabled kids. Like, not... He abused as in, like, bullied them, made them eat faeces, all this wild fucking shit.
Starting point is 00:18:21 And he was chosen, and knowing full well that this is the case, the Olympic Committee, who just keep on fucking things up. They chose him to do this thing, to do the opening ceremony, closing ceremony. And five days, four days before the opening of the, it might actually be this Friday or Thursday. Yeah, he's been thrown off.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Fucking hell. So some composer somewhere is just fucking rapidly, actually be this Friday or Thursday yeah he's been thrown off fucking hell so some composer somewhere is just fucking rapidly presumably composing like they've never composed before imagine that is
Starting point is 00:18:52 awful by the way it's awful doing like wrestling moves on them all this weird shit it's just like wow you wrote that in a you wrote that
Starting point is 00:18:59 you admitted to a member of the press that you did that like proud that's what he got up to when he was a kid great if you were coming
Starting point is 00:19:07 imagine I mean forget the circumstances because it's obviously awful but imagine if you got drafted in with three days to spare to play the Olympic opening ceremony
Starting point is 00:19:14 it would be David Brent this is going to cost you yeah I'll do it I know you've got money I know you're desperate you are absolutely fucked
Starting point is 00:19:22 if you don't get me a million quid per instrument I'd be more I'm more than that yeah alright I'd be
Starting point is 00:19:29 I'd probably what I would probably do is create a scandal myself for asking so much money that I get kicked off it as well exactly
Starting point is 00:19:38 anyway astonishing let's squeeze an email in if we can let's please squeeze an email in what have we got here
Starting point is 00:19:44 let's do this one from a man from Wrexham who knows nothing about Wrexham Pete from Wrexham say Wrexham again Luke he says
Starting point is 00:19:56 during the show at the end of June it was great to hear you speak about bootlegger and Wrexham remember the great bootlegger I love him yeah
Starting point is 00:20:02 I'm warming to him you're wary of it though it's taken three years or something you're, I'm warming to him. You're wary of it, though, aren't you? It's taken three years or something. You're wary. I'm wary of him. He just seems like he's going to say something terrible at any moment. I think he's a very nice, good-natured chap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:13 He just likes to get pissed. Is he like a labourer? What's his job? I don't know. Because I couldn't tell. He looked like he was on a building site. They were like, all right there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Ah, I'm scary. My eyes are weird. Add him to the long list of people who despite being I mean actually he's probably a bit older than us isn't he
Starting point is 00:20:29 I can't tell he's only just had his second jab I'm confused he's 25 in my eyes I'm getting to that stage now in my life where because I live in London
Starting point is 00:20:36 I just repeatedly see people younger than me on social media with much bigger houses he's definitely one of them although he's older I don't know what he does I don't know what job he has
Starting point is 00:20:44 but anyway he said Pete from Wrexham says most of us born and bred in this town bigger houses. He's definitely one of them, although he's older. I don't know what he does. I don't know what job he has. But anyway, Pete from Wrexham says, most of us born and bred in this town have a fierce loyalty to its most famous institutions. This is an email about Wrexham, basically. I don't think it's a town you hear much about, so why not? The recent takeover of the football club has given the town a
Starting point is 00:21:00 boost in international interest, says Pete, and the lockdowns have seen the Wrexham Lager Brewery grow from strength to strength as people have been supporting local businesses. A fact that most Wrexhamites know of is that Wrexham Lager was a beer on the ill-fated maiden voyage
Starting point is 00:21:15 of a Titanic. So Pete doesn't know a bit about Wrexham, not that much. So proud are we of this fact that when the mayor receives the school council members of local schools in his chamber, they recount this tale to their not-too-fussed kids. Wrexham Lager is sent all around the world as it's now bootleg appeals now.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Hopefully someone with more in-depth knowledge of the brewery and the town's history will be in touch to provide any details that I haven't included. Very light on details. I didn't know that. Wrexham Lager was the beer on the Titanic. There you go. A little bit of a fact for you. Well, you'd hope there'd be more than that that choice
Starting point is 00:21:46 the only beer on the Titanic and Wrexham Football Club has been taken over by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds Ryan Reynolds as well which is kind of something
Starting point is 00:21:55 I didn't see happening I think that might end badly finally just to squeeze it in before under the wire Tom says just added Tom Cruise's
Starting point is 00:22:03 itinerary last Sunday oh yeah two weeks ago. I'm a camera operator and was working at the Goodwood Festival of Speed down in Chichester last week where Mr. Cruise
Starting point is 00:22:12 made an appearance on the Sunday morning. We were actually asked to rig several onboard cameras to an old F1 car because he was apparently going to be doing a run of the hill
Starting point is 00:22:19 climb course in it but it seems he had other things to attend to that day. Have you ever sort of planned for something for a celebrity and they've not turned up
Starting point is 00:22:26 has a celebrity ever let you down I want to know hello at lukeandpeach.com that'd be great I must be able to think of one of them myself
Starting point is 00:22:32 surely surely yeah there must be there must be a fact get in touch hello at lukeandpeach.com about anything to do with mosquito bites
Starting point is 00:22:40 Pete's new position in his community if a celebrity has let you down that's a really good one probably get some good emails about that that's all we've got
Starting point is 00:22:49 time for because we're coming up to the half hour by my terrible calculations so let's get out of here Pete Donaldson we'll be back on Monday won't we
Starting point is 00:22:57 we certainly will keep your bachelor bands coming in as well at Luke and Pete on Twitter at Luke and Pete on Instagram Pete have you got
Starting point is 00:23:04 any final thoughts for our lovely listeners? It's too hot to take your dog for a walk. Oh, yeah. You've got to do it very early in the day. Yeah. What do the cats do? They just make their own choices, right?
Starting point is 00:23:14 One of my cats yesterday was so hot, and this happens every summer, I was thinking, oh, God, he's going to be ill, there's something wrong with him. He just would not move. They find the coolest part in the house and they just don't move. And he was there for about four hours.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And I picked him up because it was time to put him out to go and get his food before we shut the door out and we go to bed. And he just flopped. He wouldn't even move. And then he went, like that. His heart. Placed him side down. You know they say cats always lie on their feet.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Placed him on the cold wooden floor in the dining room and just left him there and the last thing I remember is shutting the door and him just looking around lazily at me.
Starting point is 00:23:53 They just, they completely slow down. Almost like an alligator that can't let his own body temperature. Or a tiger. Yeah, like tigers and lions they just sort of lie around don't they?
Starting point is 00:24:00 But they, I mean they won't, I've actually seen one of my cats on a really hot day. We've got all patio in our garden. And I've seen him go from fence to flower bed to fence to get into the house without touching it. So they just know.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Whereas with dogs, you take them out, they're so excited to go out. Yeah. That they can burn their paws, right? Burn their paws. Have you got little gloves for them? No, you just take them out like, you know, six, seven in the morning, usually all right.
Starting point is 00:24:24 What's the pavement test? You have to test it with the back of your hand. Back of your hand, yeah. And it's too hot
Starting point is 00:24:28 for your back of Anything over 20 is just problematic. You can't really walk. Jesus, that's so bad. I didn't think about that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Anyway. Could you pop a cat in the freezer? A freezer? A freezer. In the fridge freezer. Just for like five minutes.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Cats are really good. There's something really interesting about, just squeeze this in before we go. On a cold day if you've not if a cat needs to get warm
Starting point is 00:24:47 that's where you see them doing that classic circle pose right that's what I do it so they don't always do it so my cats wouldn't do it in the summer
Starting point is 00:24:53 because if you've got a cat at home I'm sure you've probably tried this but if you haven't when you on a cold day you see a cat
Starting point is 00:25:00 doing that circle pose if they've been there for about half an hour put your hand in the middle it's fucking boiling. Really? They basically create
Starting point is 00:25:07 a whole insulated kind of oven of themselves to keep themselves hot. It's amazing. It's really clever. Cool. Anyway, that's enough of all that chutney.
Starting point is 00:25:16 We will be back on Monday as I've already said. All that kind of stuff at Luke and Pete Show. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the email address. We're off for a little ice cream with a
Starting point is 00:25:25 cool down and we'll look forward to talking to you soon it's been lovely to have your ears and we hope to have them again say goodbye Peter goodbye it's goodbye from me as well
