The Luke and Pete Show - Parkour Gibbons Galore

Episode Date: December 7, 2020

The boys are forward-rolling into today’s episode of The Luke and Pete Show as Pete illustrates his podcasting parkour skills. Meanwhile, Luke takes us on a rather chaotic trip down memory lane to discuss cars on fire, flying go-karts, and Street Fighter Remastered as two Dads participate in an epic childhood brawl. Elsewhere, the boys discuss their favourite arcade games and introduce all-new players to the battery championships before getting to some exciting emails...involving one listener’s incredibly overpriced scotch egg.

Welcome to this display of audio parkour. It's the Luca Piccio. It's a Monday. We are leaping over words, diving underneath stories and reading some of your emails while perched on a very high building. I'm Pete Donaldson, joined by Luke Moore. How are you doing, Luke Moore? Good, thanks. I'm doing not too bad. It's a metaphorical high building. We are the free runners of the vernacular. That's what we are. Where's it going to go, guys?

No one knows. I know. But if any security staff come and try and stop us, we are going to leg it. And we are going to be quicker. We're going to be more live. We're going to be more capable than them. Some people will listen to parts of this and go there's no way

pete donaldson's going to be able to finish this story and he does finish the story and he tops it off with a lovely storytelling forward roll they always do that they always do yeah but i mean if i if my stories and the way i that i present uh podcasts podcasts and co-hosts on podcasts was representative of a parkour, I'd start on a building. No idea how I got into the building or onto the building, but I'd start on the building. Or the name of the building. Or the name of the building.

Or the day in which the building is existing. I'd sprain my ankle and sort of limp off the building that's my kind of level of parkour i've said it before start in the middle of a story try and fight my way out not quite manage it but you know we live to fight another day don't we i think i think parkour is the kind of thing that on one hand if i wish it was around when i was a kid because we used to be well into stuff like that when i was a kid we used to go down the beach and uh yeah for those of you who are familiar with that part of the world the the beach at Gosport where I grew up is called Stokes Bay. And we used to go down there.

And there's like, it's kind of interesting to explain, but like there was a kind of dirt gravel track that was partly populated by this pebbles from the beach and stuff on a track that would go up to this thing called Fort Gilkick, which is an amazing fort, which I think doubled up as some kind of military observation post at some point during the war. My great-grandfather was stationed there anyway. But anyway, it's quite kind of isolated.

And the path itself is raised. So you've got, if you can imagine, I don't know, like a six to 10 foot sloping rise to the top of this path, which you walk or ride your bikes along. And then outside of that, growing across the big gully, essentially, are all these windswept trees that are growing at a weird angle.

And we used to leg it as fast as we could, which for those of you who know about my athletic exploits, isn't very fast, and jump off the edge of the path and land on the trees like we were basically like we were gibbons and i like to think that that was probably in about 1989 1990 and so have i invented parkour there possibly well i mean i would say that you sort of think about the um the french uh guy who uh kind invented, well, I guess popularised it, the bloke who did the James Bond film. Could we discount the fact that he went on holiday across the course?

To Stokes Bay. One of my mates did it, this guy called Barry. Don't find people called Barry now. That's another one. Don't get them. This guy, Barry, he legged it and he jumped onto one of the trees and this quite sharp branch just basically stuck into his leg it was fucking horrific don't care for that don't care for that story i could just i can still picture the um the

little hole that was left in his leg it's weird it's it's like body body horror where it's just like that should not i'm always sort sort of surprised at gunshot wounds. They're always very polite. I think it depends on the bullet, doesn't it? Yeah, I guess it depends on the calibre of the bullet, but I think just a revolver bullet, I'm always sort of surprised on how little damage it does

when it goes in. I mean, the back end of it, wow, but when it goes in, it's very polite. Did I tell you the story about... So Barry, the back end of it, wow. But when it goes in, it's very polite. Did I tell you the story about, so Barry, the guy who hurt his leg. He was so much about Barry. For me, it's like when Limmy talks about Pitbull. It was near Pitbull, then Pitbull was just everywhere. Yeah, this is true with Barry.

Barry, didn't hear about him. Now this whole podcast is about Barry. Barry had a brother called Matt who was a bit younger and I was kind of in between their age but Barry was my friend but he was I think

a year older than me and he used to live about I don't know 20 houses down the street on the opposite side of the back alleyway and for some reason they built back alleyways

all around the town where I grew up it was kind of weird it was kind of weird it's kind of a weird situation thinking about it now yeah it's basically for skating and playing football but anyway so anyway listen i i am so barry got a brand new mitre delta membrane oh they were like what like the 30 quid ones yeah it's good the mitre delta premier leagues so expensive and um and um so as a result we were playing, we were playing a bit of football.

And I went into his back garden, which backed onto the alley. And we had a bit of a kick around his back garden. And we got into a bit of a scuffle, right? And I can't remember what happened, but I ended up punching him. And I think he also punched me. I mean, we were about 10. It wasn't like a big deal. Anyway, so as we had a little rumble um obviously i

left because i'm gonna go now because we just had a little kids fight so i'm gonna get out of here i walked back out the gate as his dad was coming home from work right but his dad didn't know what happened because his dad hadn't got into the garden yet and seen his his um brother who i think i'm sorry not his very son who had a um who had like a bleeding nose, right? So I just kind of nonchalantly walked out. About 10 seconds after that, I turned around and his dad, who was absolutely fucking massive, I reckon he was probably six foot six, which certainly was in my mind,

started chasing me. His dad started chasing me. So I had to fucking leg it as fast as I could into my back garden and try and lock the gate. But I was never going to get there quick enough, right? And I promise you this sounds like I've made it up. I know it does, but I promise you I haven't.

As I was going back into the gate, I knew I was never going to get there in time because he was catching up on me all the time. My other friend's mum, who was a bit of the matriarch of the community, this lady called Diane, sadly she's passed away now, but she was a bit of a legend. She came out and started screaming at him. What are you doing? What are you doing?

You shouldn't be chasing a young boy around. You should be ashamed of yourself. It's not a good look, is it? Yeah. Interesting. It was mad though. I remember absolutely fucking shitting myself. You know when you're so scared that every hair on your body is up on end?

It was so frightening. Were you kind of in a situation where you think, I have irreparably damaged this community that I live in and I can never show my face out? Because obviously, yeah, dad should not be chasing kids. Dad should not be chasing lads. I mean, the thing is, though, Pete, as you know, as I told you before, my next door neighbour got busted

for attempted murder and people set fire to cars all over the place. It's kind of a pretty regular occurrence, really. I don't think i've done anything to break the fabric of the community that hadn't already been done but it was a working class community right so it was those types of things were just sort of brushed off yeah i'm sorry about that you know where i see you later and it was fine the next day type thing it's kind of a weird situation it's a very very close near everyone lives on top of each other type community yeah well look thank heavens for the the matriarch of the community. Did you ever get chased by an adult as a kid

and like frightened by an adult? No, I think I went round a lad's house. He used to live up the road from me. He kind of went to my primary school and we were dicking about and I remember his dad was walking up. Every dad around where I lived did shifts. And we walk him up

and he was like a bear with a and uh and he we woke him up and he was uh like a bear with a sore head and he he got actually quite like loud and got me a bloody woke me up and he was he was so big and imposing that i absolutely cried and he and i remember that and i remember the the kid was going no dad of mine will make my friend cry do you know something pete? Once in our little community, little back street, there was a guy, this is bad,

there was a kid who people used to like, they used to kind of, I wouldn't say bully, because I think that sounds like overwhelmingly negative connotations, obviously, but there was like a little bit of tease that used to go on back and forward.

And one of these guys, one of my friends um because i was friends with both of them one of them was a bit younger but the older one he was around the younger one's house and they were just hanging out and a few of us were just hanging out in the back garden and in the downstairs bit and they had a little snooker table set up and um one of the older kid drew like a derogatory picture of the boy and stuck it up on the living room wall, right? Right. So when they went in there for dinner or whatever, dining room, whatever, they went in there for dinner,

it was supposed to be like a joke, but they saw it and it was like a caricature, like quite a mean caricature of the kid, right? And honestly, at the time, I remember thinking it was nothing vicious, right? Anyway, the kid's dad come home from work and he was a Marine. He's just hard. He's just covered in tattoos and hard.

And he had a moustache because it was like the early 90s. And he got fuming bad about it. And by the time he came home from work and saw it, we were out in the back alleyway again. This kid who had done drawing of the picture was in this little go-kart, right? And no word of a lie, the dad picked up the go-k again, this kid who had done drawing of the picture was in this little go-kart, right? And no word of a lie, the dad picked up the go-kart with the kid in it

and fucking threw it, right? Right. Threw it with the kid in it, right? And the kid who... Up in the air? Yeah, it was probably about, it must have thrown it about six feet in the air.

And he landed and obviously hurt himself. And then that kid's dad, who was a fucking martial artist, because again, it was the early 90s, hurt himself and then that kid's dad who was a fucking martial artist because again it was the early 90s came out and had a massive like dad standoff it was fucking exciting man it was so exciting it was so good what the hell was going it's like a bloody street fighter 2 a marine versus a martial artist i know what's going on that same marine did they cool off by beating the shit

out of someone's car? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they did. And that Marine dad, he also at one point, he was really into basketball randomly and like he built

like a basketball thing, like his own basketball net from scratch at like regulation high. But it was made of really heavy wood and the base of it was a bucket of cement.

It's so 90s, right? And they used to drag it out into the back anyway so we could shoot basketballs into it when we got bored of football or whatever. And mostly we were just using footballs because no one had a basketball. And at one time it toppled over because it was obviously crushingly unsafe.

And it hit a kid on the head and knocked him out. And these days you think that's horrific. I'm like 40 now. If I had a son who's like 10 who got knocked out by a hooky basketball net, I think I'd be really pissed off. But at the time, it was just like every day. It's unnecessary, isn't it? We can safeguard our children with EU directives

about how their toys are supposed to look, feel, and be engineered, but you cannot discount a Marine making a basketball net out of small cement and a metal ball. It's just not legit. They will do what they want. They are the best of the best. In this trip down memory lane, finally for now, I remember being at my friend's house at the end of the street,

literally the end of the street, right? And my mum worked at the supermarket. She worked on the weekends. On a Saturday, I was down there. I was helping my my mate and his dad who was in the navy and also hard um chopped down a tree in the front garden right and i was obviously just a space cadet i probably wasn't paying attention and and the dad chopped a big branch down it fell down it hit me on the head and it knocked me over right yeah and i think i was probably concussed because i ended up being i ended up vomiting oh so they took me into the house right my mate's house put me in one of the beds

and so i'll just lie down there and we'll you know i'll call your dad or whatever and they called my dad and my dad was like all right what's he doing oh he's in bed all right just leave him there give him a whiskey give him a whiskey yeah give him a hot toddy yeah so it was it was an absolutely chaotic childhood is what I'm saying. Well, I think the thing about like back, certainly back streets and alleyways, certainly where I was from, you couldn't really see from houses out

because they would have a little courtyard. People would have a little yard. Yeah. And then behind that would be the thing. So we didn't have a garden. We had a little yard. And so behind you'd have the alleyway. So we didn't have a... We had a little yard. And so behind, you'd have the alleyway. So we never really were in a situation...

You could get away with all sorts. I remember a little girl, she couldn't have been older than about three, just got a big wood saw out of her dad's shed and just raked it down her sister's forehead. Oh, my God. Like, leaving the... Like, just really trying to saw into her sister's head.

And that stayed with me. That was a proper, but it was just, the thing about the alleyways, like it was impossible to play football in it because it was just so much broken glass everywhere. Was there blood? Everywhere, just broken glass.

Yeah, there was blood. Oh, there was lots of blood. It was astonishing. Yeah. And one of the things that I find fascinating looking back on that time and it might be different but just because you're a kid then and maybe you're remembering differently but is that i would be put out there to play or whatever with a lot of kids and they'd be like

older brothers and sisters there and the occasional parent knocking about and my mom and dad just didn't give they were just like yeah get on with it you'll be fine like there's loads it'd be like 50 kids out there and it would and it would be like a community right and there'll be no problem and i sometimes drive down that street to go somewhere else and i'm going back down to visit family or whatever and i sometimes whip through the back alleyway just to see what's going on there's never anyone there now it's kind of weird i know it's a really cliched thing to say but genuinely i've never seen a single person down that down that in those areas now when it was back in the late 80s it was it was like all the rage late 80s, it was like all the rage. I'm telling you, it was like all the rage.

That's all any kid was doing. And I wasn't even allowed to play video games unless it was raining. That was the rule in my house for quite a long time as a kid. Yeah. It's weird. Well, look. Listen, I didn't even plan to. This podcast always just evolves into tales of the working classes.

Yeah. I didn't even mean to start the show in that fashion. What I was going to do, Pete, if it was okay with you, and I understand we're almost about 15 minutes in now, I was just going to do a couple of shout-outs to some people on Twitter. Oh, yes, you did do a little shout-out. Yeah, there's a few tweets that came out. Well, listen, you know that Spotify did their Spotify wrapped thing.

So I guess people, actual normal people with proper jobs won't necessarily know what this is. So at the end of the year, Spotify do this thing called Wrapped, as in to wrap a Christmas present, talking about people's listening habits and for podcasters, you kind of get your own little data and stats and stuff. But Connor Clancy, who we know, I think, Pete, you won't remember because you don't remember anyone, but not in a rude way you just tell your brain you do okay yeah so he put us on as a live show for the ramble in dublin back in the day he had a a day i mean this is probably a

cry for help uh his spotify data wrapped thing told him that he wants to listen to 14 episodes of luke and peter on one day. I mean. Yeah. Any other show that we do, I would go fine. That's definitely right. I was listening in one day. Luke and Pete show. We don't actually talk about anything. What are you listening to?

I've listened to fewer episodes. That's definitely true. I've been on. I'm not listening now. I'll start talking about something else in a minute. Yeah. Alex Forbes got in touch as well. I wanted to give a special shout out to listen to alex forbes because um he just has done an amazing thing i think i mean it's been a very difficult year for for everyone for the obvious

reasons and i don't want to get into that trap of saying why not use 2020 to learn a new skill because a lot of people just want to get on with their lives and get through it i totally understand that but on this occasion alex bless him has taken 2020 he's taken a sow's ear and turned it into a silk purse because he's he's managed to open his own independent bookshop in caversham reading what an amazing venture love it ah beautiful i mean i guess rent rent will be cheaper than ever so it's not a bad idea. Well, you say that, Peter. Listen, you say that, but I mean, actually, by the way, before I get on to that, if you're in the area,

Cabersham, which is I think a fairly nice part of Reading. I think I once went out of a girl from Cabersham Heights in Reading. Anyway, if you're in the area, head to Four Bears Books. That's Four Bears Books in Cabersham. Little shout out for you there, Alex. Speaking of rents, I went and got my haircut last week and um you'll never believe this right so i pay a bit more for my haircut because it's an independent business it's local they do a lot of great stuff in the community they use the salon to showcase

local artists they provide like i do it's an environmentally very very friendly business they do a lot of things for opportunities for kids coming out of school they do apprenticeships and stuff like that it's a brilliant place run by um a married couple called poppy and sel and um i had my hair cut by poppy herself last week she told me that she got a letter through from her landlord that week so the rent's going up the rent is going up and they haven't been able to open all year i mean that that seemed i don't know whether that's opportunism or just people like the the people who own the I mean how many properties can they I don't know I mean I don't know the opinion about that one because it's it sounds awful but then what if that person only owns

that unit what if they you know they don't need a bit of help I don't know I've got more information than that that is not the case. Yeah. I thought it was based on the profile I was told about the whole situation. It sounds scandalous to me, but then I'm not really a businessy businessman. I mean, we are technically businessmen, aren't we? But we've both got adults to hold our hands, aren't we? So I don't really know what the situation is,

but it sounded horrific to me anyway. It sounded like a really tone deaf thing to do. So fingers crossed for Alex. Good luck with your new venture. Brilliant to see. If anyone else out there listening to the show in the Luke and Pete Show community, if you like, has ventured out and done something a little bit different,

let us know. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. And finally, Pete, Toby on Twitter said that he played in the Fyverside football tournament this weekend and went to the pub afterwards to celebrate, sitting outside and was told that everyone there needed to purchase a single solitary Scotch egg in order to be able to have a beer.

And each Scotch egg costs £7.50. And Toby finished by saying, to add insult to injury, I'm actually a vegetarian. So a little Scotch egg sat there, a £7.50 scotch egg. Peeling sausage meat off an egg to get to the vegetarian, well, yeah. That's brilliant. I went out for

a bit of food on Saturday and was asked, are you all from the same house or are you having a business meeting? So naturally, I was having a business meeting. Someone saw you and said that you're having a business meeting. That's mental. I know, right?

I know, right? But you insulted. Well, happily, I'd brought a laptop over, so I actually could have had a business meeting. So it's all fine. It's all good. It's all good, baby. All right, great.

Listen, should we have a little break? And then when we come back, we'll do some people's emails. We've got some good ones this week, actually. All right, all right, all right. Join us for a very Clash of the Titles Christmas because we're doing what every family does at this time of year. Arguing about which film is better. We've proved this pod is good for your elf

as Elf takes on Santa Claus the Movie. With Santa Claus the Movie, for years, I couldn't walk past a slice of ham. What the hell? Reaching for it like a grubby... Straight urchin. Yeah, swear to God. We're doing that festive thing of overindulging in sweet stuff. It's the holiday versus love, actually.

I've never seen women apologise so much for being women as in sweet stuff. It's the holiday versus love actually. I've never seen women apologise so much for being women as in the holiday. And yes, they are Christmas movies. We've got Die Hard versus Lethal Weapon. I'm so bored of that question, so let's flip it. Is Christmas a Die Hard movie?

That's Clash of the Titles this December. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. Clash of the Titles is a Stakhanov production. Merry Christmas. And we're back with Luke and Pete Shaw. I'm the Pete Donaldson complement of that particular situation and formulation.

Luke is also with me. And Luke, you've got some emails you want to read out. Lovely. Yeah, before the break, I just wanted to say that was actually a pretty good Matthew McConaughey impression. All right, all right, all right. Yeah, that wasn't as good. Do it properly.

Think about it and do it properly. All right, all right, all right. It's too much. You've overthrown it. It's getting worse anyway emails hello at lucanfeature.com is the email address a couple of new players have entered the game for those who aren't a regular listener to the show we do ask people to point out the most ridiculous battery brands they've um they found by this point we've normally i mean we don't really

get new ones because they've always been done, but we've actually got two this week. Phil Walter sent in a brand new battery brand, Nangrand. Nangrand? Yeah, as in Nangrandad, Nangrand. Which is, I've never seen that one. Have you ever heard of that one before? No, never heard of that. That sounds mad.

Someone's gone mad. And Carl today, only today, sent in a Duke sell. As in? Duke Nukem. Like a Duke sell. As in Duke Nukem? Amazing. Pretty good.

Fantastic stuff. So Paul has emailed in to hello at lukeandpete show.com, and he wants to talk about cats in bodegas. Last week, we talked a bit about this. He said, I'm sure every single one of your New York city listeners has already chimed in on this.

Bodega cats are around to keep rats away. Bodega owners are just as likely to hail from Latin America or the Middle East as they are the far East. Cats are simply around to kill the rats that frequent every building in this city. And I like this because Paul sounds like a man thoroughly fed up of having to explain cats in bodegas. Like, it happens all the time. So I apologise for the inconvenience there, Paul.

You've had to do it again. Yeah. Which cats get rid of pizza rats? Are they pizza cats? Are they samurai pizza cats? Do the samurai pizza cats have to get rid of the Peter rats, so to speak? Speaking of cats in perhaps what looks to be odd places,

there was a brilliant Twitter feed that came out. I don't know. Actually, I guess I discovered it last week. Pets in Pret. No, it wasn't that. Is that one, is it? It should be. Yeah, no, no.

It wasn't that. It was cats in places they shouldn't be and um there's some amazing video there was there was a video of you there's a big one in egypt it's made of sand yeah you know um you know those grabby machines you get in fairgrounds right yeah imagine like a massive one of those where you put your money in and you you maneuver the claw and you press the button and it picks up whatever's on and obviously it's rigged so you hardly ever win anything there was a cat in one of those and the claw almost picked it up and the cat just woke up from its sleep looked around yawned and went back to sleep again

it's mental how'd it even get in there? I mean, to be fair, those little grabbing machines, they sometimes can grab, sometimes they don't grab. Sometimes they just kind of caress. So it probably went in there for a nice little stroke, a nice little snooze amongst a load of Winnie the Poohs. Love your job. Little skull massage. Big fan of that.

Big fan of that. Winnie the Poohs, probably off-brand, and in the words of Alan Partridge, filled with soiled bandages. Peter, you are the type of guy that, as and when you become a multimillionaire, you're the type of person who would have one of those grabby machines in your garage? Yeah, I always sort of think,

there's a guy called Will that I know who has an entire sort of garage where he's made his own kind of arcade, and some of the arcade machines he's got are stunning proper like old pneumatic outrun machines and stuff that that wrote what's he getting from i would well just old old arcades uh online ebay i mean people just i mean obviously when the arcades went i mean they didn't just smash them up they probably just sold them on and they'll just be sitting in somebody's garage um unloved but i think after a while the problem with like video games the problem with like roms and stuff is that they eventually die so you've got to keep them spec and span you've

got to keep them you've got to provide some level of uh of maintenance uh lest you lose them forever what would you know what game arcade game i'd have in in a garage if i was the type of person who did that sort of thing and had the money and had a garage and my wife would get me. I would go for there's this amazing arcade game, I don't know if I mentioned it before, that really stole my heart when I was on

holiday as a kid in Mallorca. It was the first time I ever went on a holiday abroad. I think I must have been about seven and there was this Capcom arcade game

called Black Tiger have you heard of it? I think you mentioned it on the show before but no I don't really remember it it was a bit like Shinobi

so good you'd be this barbarian type character and you have to work for all these platform games you have to work for all these levels

and you can do power ups with your armour and you have to defeat these ender level bosses and stuff and i did look on um i did look on ebay way back in the day about it and um there's a there's a there's an arcade machine like sorry an arcade machine of black tiger really like a fully functioning one um for a thousand pounds which to me i mean i feel like the cost of electronics should be going down.

Why is it so expensive? And you can actually get an emulator to play it on your Mac or whatever, but it's not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same. You're right. Yeah. No, I mean, it's just upkeep.

Like, obviously, these things have existed in the 80s and sometimes older, and they need to be kept up and running. But, Pete, I love the idea of the fact that, say, you and I were opening up a pub or a cafe. I think this Black Tiger arcade game in Mallorca, in this resort, was just in this little cafeteria bit or something. A lot of hotels back in the day used to have arcade rooms, like amusement rooms.

But it was mainly kind of like, it was mainly like one-armed bandits and stuff. But then you might get the odd turbo outrun, Operation Thunderbolt, Operation Wolf. Yeah. Oh yeah, Operation Wolf with the gun. Yeah, the light gun. Yeah.

That was amazing. And Operation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, nobody ever talks about it for some reason. It can be completely forgotten. It probably wasn't thought of as being that good, but I spent a lot of time. And the game Pit Fighter as well, which had the first animated,

sorry, animated kind of filmed characters like Mortal Kombat, but it was just beautifully done. I remember that. It was all 3D and stuff. It was scaling, and the scaling was really good. I've always been very keen on having a pneumatic cab cabinet of the video game power drift which was a driving game and instead of polygons it had like raster

effects kind of pictures getting smaller and bigger and the scaling is really quick so you would you'd be basically be in this kind of like law sitting kind of off-road vehicle and you'd be going over just logs lots of logs there's lots of logs in that game, and it was very, very fun. It looked amazing. If you had a kind of, say you run a pub in the 80s or a cafe or whatever, and you had the budget and the space for one arcade game, how do you reckon people chose? Yeah.

I mean, you'd want something that was accessible, not difficult to play, but you want one that people are going to put pounds on. So you'd probably have to keep it simple, just do your Pac-Man or something. You'd probably have to do Mrs. Pac-Man, maybe. And if you bought the arcade game and you put it in your cafe, presumably then all the coin that ran through it

were yours, right? Yeah, I guess so, unless it was a rental, I suppose. I presume a lot of them had little counters in them to say how much money was put into them so you could take a cut at the end of the month. Yeah. I think there's always that scene in King of Kong, A Fistful of Quarters.

You know that movie, that documentary movie? Yeah, Billy. Where the geezer's playing Donkey Kong in his garage and he's got the actual arcade game set up in his garage and he's playing it all the time. I can massively see you as one of those types, Pete. Get a couple of arcade games in the garage. You'd be loving life.

You're always going to that pub. Well, you always used to be going to that pub with the arcade games in it. You'd love a bit of that. Oh, but you mean Big Reds? Well, it's back now, isn't it? No, not Big Reds. The ones run by your mate out in Shepherd's Bush. Oh, Loading Bar, yeah. He's got a couple of them coming back. He's got one in Brighton The big red, the ones run by your mate out in Shepherd's Bush. Oh, Loaning Bar, yeah. Yeah.

He's got a couple of them coming back. He's got one in Brighton that they're managing to put back into service. It's been difficult for publicans this year, hasn't it, obviously? Of course. I hope everyone gets back on their feet, and I'll certainly be there drinking. Yeah, I know. All right, listen, we're pretty much out of time for today's show,
