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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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
transmission
apparently people
who consume beer
have proven to be
more attractive
to mosquitoes
which is definitely me
last weekend
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
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
you sit in open
solar.
We agree they're
a new player.
Congratulations to
you.
You will get some
kind of spiritual
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
anyway
astonishing
let's squeeze an email
in if we can
let's please
squeeze an email
in
what have we got here
let's do this one
from
a man from Wrexham
who knows nothing
about Wrexham
Pete from Wrexham
say Wrexham again Luke
he says
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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

let you down
I want to know
hello at lukeandpeach.com

think of one of them
myself
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
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
time for
because we're coming up
to the half hour
by my terrible calculations
so let's get out of here
Pete Donaldson

Pete have you got
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
Anyway.
Could you pop a cat
in the freezer?
A freezer?
A freezer.
In the fridge freezer.
Just for like five
minutes.
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
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
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
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
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.
We will be back on Monday
as I've already said.
