The Luke and Pete Show - Pete Donaldson, “The Pub Landlord”

Episode Date: March 17, 2022

Breaking news, Luke has officially been added to the neighbourhood Whatsapp group. A major development in local news that can only be topped by the fact that Pete might be buying a pub. In the emails, we have some slightly strange chat about Super Mario’s nipples and there are some developments in our mission to find the most famous Eileen.Do you have any advice for Pete about buying a pub? Email [e-mail] or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

oh it's the mother flipping luke and peach show welcome to it this is your thursday dose think of the monday dose as being your first vaccine uh and the second one kind of wrapping things up giving you that little bit of extra protection from other inferior podcasts. Is that fair, Sir Lukey? Yeah, and the battery section is the booster shot. The booster shot, yeah. No one's doing COVID anymore, are they? It's all been ramped down.

The UK are kind of like market leaders and going, ah, I'm bored of that. So you can't, if you don't test, you don't find. Also, isn't it not just the case that um people are people in power are like right i mean we need to come make sure we keep up these distractions because if they focus on the shit we've really been up to we're you know it's a let's be fair it's a shit show so everything we do is crap and we do it wrong. And in some cases we do it in a way that's probably not entirely fucking above board. So let's just keep trying to generate headlines.

I mean, that's very fair of you, I think. I think that's very fair of you indeed. But if they want people who can generate headlines without even trying, regular listeners to this show will know all they need to do is pick up the phone to Pete Donaldson. Just type in 1-800-DONNIE on your phone and that goes through to that special red phone you've got in your apology cabin and you can help them out with whatever they need.

Anything you want. Or you could just email a show. I could probably do it that way as well, to be honest. No, you don't read those, famously. Oh, yeah. It's the last thing I want probably do it that way as well, to be honest. No, you don't read those, famously. Oh yeah. It's the last thing I want to be doing. You'll never get to be that.

Yeah. Anyway, what's been going on, Pete? What have you been up to? Oh, loads of stuff, Luke.

Watching more Peaky Blinders. How's the neighbourhood? How's the neighbourhood? Are you going to try and start like a little vigilante group now? Went for a bit,

went for a bit. I mean, you can't attack the wind, however much you try. I, we went to the. There's this pub that the men in the neighbourhood are trying to make, trying to get me involved in

buying, called Harry. Whoa. Hang on. Steady. So you're going to get a share in a pub? Well, I mean, I've made it clear that I won't, because I've seen people have owned pubs. You've got the money, though people who've owned pubs you've got the money though how much do they want how much of a share do you have to get

well I mean more than I can handle I imagine it seems like an expensive well I mean it's a big building with a flat above and it's a nice little pub but it's in a slightly obscure location nobody seems to frequent it apart from bad boys. Who's had the big idea for it then?

I think that's a project that everyone in the neighbourhood wants to get involved with eventually. But in the same way... Oh, you'll definitely do it. You'll attend some meeting out of sense of duty and you'll get press ganged into giving up probably a decent five figures rather than be awkward. Yeah.

I think you'd be good at it, mate. You don't drink to excess. I completely agree. I just always, I remember Alex Zane from the Excellent Stack podcast, Clash of the Titles. He wanted about 10 years ago to buy a bar because, and I quote, I can just drink and I can dance on the table in the pub. And I was like, Alex, have you just been told not to dance on a table in a pub?

And you've said, I'm going to buy a pub and then I'm just going to dance on the table. I think it's like that, really. I think if you have a vested interest in a pub, you're allowed to just stay in the pub all the time, aren't you? And I used to go out with a girl who um her dad owned a pub yeah um i wouldn't say i think he'd be the first i think he'd be the first to say that he's not a natural natural uh publican um and it just seemed like a lot of stress for very little reward especially in these days where pubs have never been less popular or more popular i I don't know. It's just, sky's too expensive. Chefs are too flighty.

Pete, let me, let me just stop you there, right? I'm talking, I'm talking like I'm actually a publican. Yeah. You know,

water rates are too high. Energy's too high. I think it's important for us to point out at this stage. Someone's torn the fucking felt on the pool table. You know nothing about this. No, I know nothing about this. So stop pretending that you do and just take a beat because I want to ask you, on the pool table. You know nothing about this. No, I know nothing about this.

So stop pretending that you do and just take a beat because I want to ask you how this has come to pass and what role they want you to play. Because if it's just like you look at it and you go, oh, it's like a nice pub.

These guys seem to know what they're doing. I reckon we'd do all right out of this. And all I need to do is put down X amount of money. I think, not entirely from selfish reasons, but maybe 90% of my own selfish reasons, I think not entirely from selfish reasons, but maybe 90% of my own selfish reasons, I think you should

do this. Luke, we both invested in a Nigerian film. That is something that happened, yeah. So, I don't think either of us, I don't think our levels of investment over the years,

we've all fallen foul of, like, yeah, it's a good decision, and it was a good decision at the time. But you sort of look at this pub thing, and I just don't think I'm... I just don't think I'd be offering anything. I think pubs... But what role do they want you in, though? They might just want your money.

Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, because they can't afford it themselves, can they? But I don't think they know that I don't have any money. So it's fine. So I don't have any money. Big tax bill. I don't have any money. I'm skint.

Have you spent all your money? I've spent all my money on a house. I bought a house. Of course. I've just bought a house, guy. I can't, guys, I can't buy a pub now. You've got to give me a few years to feather my nest. All I'm saying is, on behalf of everyone listening to this show right now,

just go to the meeting. Just go to the meeting. Is there a meeting? There's going to be a meeting, right? I just fear I might be ostracised if I don't invest in this pub, that's all. Yeah, but I mean, that won't happen, because if you feel like that when you're in the meeting, you definitely will invest.

Exactly. I'm an easy mark. I am a mark. Describe the pub. Have you been in it? What's it like? I have been in it. It's very,

they've sort of, it's just a normal, it looks like a normal kind of council building from the outside. Almost like a flat roof pub from the outside. And then, but the roof's quite nice.

And then inside they've sort of painted it like a fake Tudor, like white and black posts kind of thing. Right. What's the name of it? I think there's a jukebox

called the Harry on London Road. That's a weird name for a pub yeah it is a little bit it's kind of tucked away people don't really know it's there it's in between some shops and a school yeah it's strange

it's near a couple of housing estates so maybe that was the thinking but I just think the location is makes it folly personally right keep us keep us posted though because that's an interesting development so i'll keep you posted the other guys involved serious about it are they i think so yeah i might i might uh invest but only if we get a robin reliant and we post it outside and we have a bar, a bar that constantly lifts up and down like a yawning jaw of a crocodile. Yeah.

You can sort of dive in it if you want. Bit of mini golf in the back garden. Mini golf. Why would you have mini golf in the back garden? Why not, mate? Why not? You're right. You're bloody right.

There is a chance, isn't there, here, that if you do get involved and you get outvoted on the theme of the pub, you may end up with a part ownership in a theme pub. I'll have to wear a flat cap with a razor blade in it. Yeah. You started doing that anyway. Started. Speaking of local neighbourhood things, right, the Wi-Fi I have access to added me

to our local neighbourhood WhatsApp group. Like it. Yeah. And the arrangement which we had that I thought worked quite well is that I've always been pretty neighbourly. You know me, I don't mind a conversation. I'll help out if people need me and all that kind of stuff. I'm fairly friendly.

We know all our neighbours, really. And when that car crashed outside our house we were all out there and i kind of knew everyone who was out there so i kind of do do my bit but um mimi would be on the whatsapp group and she would kind of stay across the the street news as you know as far as that news actually goes which i'll come on to in a minute but then i was like asking her i think what i did is i crossed the threshold of asking her one too many questions and she just thought fucking stop asking me questions. I'm just going to add you to it.

And she added me to it. Now, I know I can leave at any time. But, of course, there's a stigma that comes attached to that, right? They would have seen my name on WhatsApp, probably know who I am. And if I leave straight away, they'll think, oh, what a grumpy bastard. But the thing is, they're all just obsessed with, like, the idea of burglaries. Right, okay, the very idea of burglaries, yeah. So it's just like, oh, I saw...

Literally, mate, I'm not trying to tempt fate or anything here. And obviously, burglary is a terrible thing to happen to someone. I've been a victim of it myself, not here, in a different place where I live. So it is an awful thing, and I'm not begrudging people being frightened of it. But it's got to the point where they'll literally be texting each other on the group saying oh i saw two men on the corner of the street the other night talking and it's like london for crying yeah well what you're gonna see men on the street yeah they're not gonna be talking i mean what they're not gonna it's very unlikely never say never but it's very unlikely they're gonna be saying oh nine o'clock tonight on number 120.

We're not living in a fucking real life home alone. I'm really horny for burglary tonight. I don't know about you. What do you want to do tonight? I don't know. I thought I'd just do a burglary. I just don't think it happens like that. Since the youth centre closed down,

I need to do some burglary. They just happen to be obsessed with that. And they're also obsessed with there's a potential development happening um and i got a letter i got a little leaflet for the letterbox about it i kind of looked at it briefly i thought i don't actually care about this uh so i chucked in the bin and that's kicked off on the whatsapp group i looked at it the other day it's about it's about a fucking mile away i don't know why people are so upset about it it's literally like a mile away and and i i i naturally recoil from these i this idea of that not in my backyard not in my backyard type attitude yeah because if someone says like right they're

building some flats at the bottom of that street and they're building some flats at the top of our street and i don't think it's right it's like well look let's not get into the kind of the ebbs and flows of the uh of the of the housing market and how fucked it is but you know people do need to live somewhere but we do need houses right so what are you saying that you're content for it to happen like 20 miles away but you're not content for it to happen here i don't know the houses might be nice the people who move in there might be nice people they might really kind of contribute to the local fucking neighbourhood you don't know this just because it's new

doesn't mean it's automatically fucking bad anyway the last sort of few weeks for Leon C has just been is this someone's cover from their

hot tub because obviously with the winds blew it all away blew it all away so it's people trying to reunite each other with

the tops of water butts hot tubs what a bougie chat it's people trying to reunite each other with the tops of water butts, hot tubs. What a bougie chat that is. People trying to find... Yeah, because if you go to a Wix or you go to any kind of home furnishings thing, all these inflatable bloody hot tubs and stuff.

It's a big thing, isn't it? Do people really like hot tubs all that much? I can take a bath for five minutes and then I've got to get out of it. Mate, I tell you what, speaking of that, so the house we grew up in is a small house in a rough neighbourhood in Gosport,

which is a rough fucking town. And it was lovely. I wouldn't show you anything about it. I really enjoyed it. But I mean, looking back on it now, fucking hell, it was rough, right? Yeah. And the house we grew up in went on sale.

Oh, right. And my sister's an estate agent so I said, oh, we should go and look around it and stuff. Anyway, we couldn't. We couldn't get the dates to work and it got sold quite quick but we found the listing online and it had been decorated really nicely and stuff

and it was kind of a little bit poignant in a way because obviously you remember it how you remember it and now it looks completely different but I cannot stress to you enough, this is like a terraced, like a two up, essentially a two up, two down like terrace

in probably a lower half of Gosport, which is a rough old town. And fucking went through the listing, right, the garden, which obviously wasn't very big. Fucking hot tub in the garden. What?

I couldn't believe it. To me, that's a disgrace to our memory. That's a disgrace to our working class memory i don't think it's i don't think a hot tub is necessary like a like a big big thing anymore people just buy them you know like they'd buy a hot cup of coffee i called my sister up and i was like first of all how have they got that in there and she's like i've got no idea i have no how have they got that in there? And she's like, I've got no idea. I have no idea how they got that in there. Mad. But I mean, I guess there's obviously, when you say hot tub, it's obviously not like a

plumbed in like proper jacuzzi, right? You can just buy it and you fill it up and it kind of recycles the water around and you put a cleaner thing in it. I've been in those before. So I guess they're not that big a deal. No. But it's quite funny, the idea in your neighbourhood of all these kind of hot tub lids just flying all around the place.

Because when that storm happened a while back, you sent me a video of a wheelie bin going mental. I thought it was a Photoshop. Yeah, I think a lot of people will sort of say it's a Photoshop. You do sort of have to go, look, I think with a lot of bullshit on YouTube of like bullshit on youtube and instagram stuff you sort of go right why have they done this um who would have the time and the inclination to do this um yeah that's what you mean but but but that said a lot of people do for no good reason yeah i don't

i don't understand the motivation of it yeah i don't understand the motivation of why you would do it just looked too just looked too stylized. Cool. It looked too cool. Obviously, what has happened at some point is a wheelie bin has gone through the air in a storm. So I'm not saying it's so unbelievable that it could never have happened. But it just seemed a bit odd. Anyway, Pete, should we take a quick break? Because we've got to get through some battery brands and some emails.

So it might be worth having a break a little bit earlier. And then when we come back, we will go through our usual Thursday caper. I'm just looking through the battery brands now. We've got some really interesting names. We might have a few new players here. But stick around and we'll let you know after this. All right then. Welcome to Eureka!

The show that gets under the skin of science in a good way. I'm Rick Edwards. And I'm Dr. Michael Brooks. Not the kind of doctor who'd be able to help much if you were having like a heart attack. But if you're wondering about quantum physics or the theory of matter, he's your man. Well, probably. Every week we're asking a new puzzling question from the world of science and discovering the answer with the help of a world-leading expert. Like, will we ever talk to animals?

They are definitely talking. You know, that's, again, a word that I would qualify because we usually mean that vocally. But in their own ways, they're talking to us every single day. Are face transplants the future of cosmetic surgery? Given that range of what's considered attractive, there's probably no point wanting to change your face to be more attractive if you follow science.

And should we fear an alien invasion? If an imperialistic drive brings other civilizations to us, then obviously it's not good news. But if it's scientific exploration, it may be good news.

at EurekaPod. New episodes every Wednesday. Eureka is a Stack production and part of the ACAST Creative Network. We're back with Luke and Pete show every single thursday we go through your favorite and found battery brands we need photographs we need video evidence not graphic evidence not video well you can video them if you want yeah why do we do this this is it's become a thing but why do we even do this we sort of started this... It's been running about as long as the Luke and Pete show,

I think it's fair to say. We sort of happened on it. I think it's the sort of thing that I probably would have had the appetite to do for two episodes, but Luke, being very radio-minded, thought it was a good idea to run it. And it has run and run. It has very much endured.

It's become a staple part of the show. It's weird how it's gone on for so long and there are so many different types of battery. Because I think if you did cars, for example, probably last maybe six months. This has been going on for a year, like quite literally years. Yeah.

And there's new battery brands coming out that we discover all the time. Anyway, what's up first? We've got one. Oh, Jesus. I never yawn during a podcast, but I just yawn slightly. Sorry, centre. All the time. Anyway, what's up first? We've got one. Oh, Jesus. I never yawn during a podcast, but I just yawn slightly. Sorry, everyone. Adam.

Adam's got in touch. Adam Quincy's got in touch. Got any Minilab Superpower Alkalines in your long, long battery list, boys? Pulled from a metal detector. One of the many pointless lockdown purchases. All the best, Adam. Minilab Superpower. M-I-N-E Lab.

Right, first of all, I love that he's called Adam Quincy. Second of all, I love that he bought a metal detector. And third of all, I love that he found Minilab Superpower Alkalines because they are a new player. Beautiful! Fantastic stuff. Thanks, Quincy. Mad.

I've never heard of them before. I'm trying to... It's annoying. I'm trying to find the episode of Quincy where he saves the World Cup, but annoyingly, a left winger for the team SV Robin Hood, who used to play for Birmingham, a card, a place like that,

Quincy Owusu-Abe, has ruined my Google search. Oh, okay. He used to play for Pompey as well, briefly. It's weird that happens because that happens a lot. I can't think of an example, but that happens a lot on Google now.

You're trying to find something and something else with a similar name is so dominant you can't find the word for the trees. Just algorithmic me, please just tell me like surely you know I'm probably not going to give a shit

about some jobber for Portsmouth and Arsenal I want to know the episode of Quincy where he saves the World Cup never mind

right Jay Barnes thanks Jay hi guys this is my first venture in the new player arena I'm a teacher

and while walking through school the other day I found a battery on the floor not particularly strange as the stuff kids bring

into school is often more unusual. Like when I confiscated a wheelbarrow wheel off a boy in uniform. I mean, I would very much like to know what the hell was going on there. Anyway, on closer inspection, it was a battery I'd never seen before. And ifsterai

ifsterai super energy. See picture attached. I hope I haven't stumbled across one that's been sent in multiple times before at least but a new play status would make my day and for people who work so hard such as teachers jay barnes i just hope josh i just hope that we uh managed to uh managed to give you a new player yeah and the picture of the battery and then you can see it pete in the running order there it looks really beaten. It looks like it's one from the 70s that you found in an old man's allotment. Yeah, very good description.

I would agree with that. I'm sad to say, Josh, that the Istveri has been sent in by our friend Gary Walsh. On the 2nd of November of last year, he found them in some fairy lights. So that could maybe give you a clue as to where that battery came from,

but it's not a new player. It's only the second time it's ever been sent in, so you haven't disgraced yourself there. But yeah, sadly, not a new player. That really sucks. Sorry, everyone. Hello to Andy Saunders. If the court will allow,

I'd like to shoot for the stars with a buy one, get one free battery entry. Since purchase, my son's Kissy the Penguin has been powered by DMEGC batteries, now replaced with Cordac. Well, you're definitely not getting Cordac in there. No. But DMEGC batteries.

I think that might be a new player. Sadly, it's not. It's been sent in six times in total now. The most recent time it was sent in was on Christmas Day if you remember from Dermot, our friend in Melbourne who sent in

three DMEGCs. They look like double A's to me but anyway, listen, the salient facts are these. Not a new player,

been sent in six times before but thank you very much anyway Andy. I appreciate you getting in touch. It was worth a try. I'm a double A daddy. i'm ready to look at some batteries yeah exactly as the song famously goes yeah that's the famous number one hit from 1984 goes through that um i'm a famous battery or whatever you said um so that's the battery brands one out of three pete how do you feel about that can you reflect upon that as a result um i think that's i think that's the battery brands one out of three pete how do you feel about that can you reflect upon that as a result um i think that's i i think that's our mean average i think i think i think

one out and we are mean with the people who come in with old school batteries that we've seen before um yeah i think one out of three is pretty good uh pretty standard for us that nowadays to be honest i think i think we need we need to start raising our game a little bit going for the two out of threes and i realize we're self-selecting these emails but still well i i think that um here's one for you i think that actually if we got to a stage where we genuinely felt we'd exhausted all the options like we didn't have a new player for like months yeah i think we'd have to say look that's run its course you know but we still get new players with time and so as long as that's happening uh you keep sending them we'll keep doing them all right let's do some emails.

Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is also where you send your battery brands as well, of course, and we are at Luke and Pete Show on the social media. We don't do an awful lot

on social media. We do a little bit. Rory does a great job producing and he finds a bit of time here and there, but we are an independent podcast company. We don't have that many staff.

We just do what we can, but do check us out over on the social media. And the emails also go to hello at Luke and Pete show.com. And our friend Andrew has sent in, um, an email regarding, uh,

the super Mario brothers. Pete, he's emailing all the way from Massachusetts. Beautiful. He's a beautiful, he's a mass hole. As they say. Yeah.

Around that part of the world, you're either a mass hole or a kinetic cunt. Andrew says, hey there, gents. I was listening to the cerebral discussion of Daisy, Peach, and Mario. Rude. I think he's being sarcastic there. I noted how you mentioned Mario's teeth, but you neglected to bring up his nipples. True.

Apparently, they caused quite the stir a few years ago during the marketing rollout for the Switch title Super Mario Odyssey. Do you remember that? I do remember that. I do remember that. I mean, I'll give you my reaction at the end of the email to be quite frank.

Look, I'm fuming. Andrew says, as usual, the internet went to town, such as by giving our humble plumber a floof of chest hair, gold chain and arm taps. The more you know, cheers, Andrew. I don't get the last sentence. I guess the internet just kind of photoshopped Mario into lots of different stuff.

My memory of Super Mario Odyssey is planted with my lovely wife I have access to, where she was the hat and I was Mario, and we finished the game. We completed the game. It's a great title. Can't not get enough of that one. So why do people get vexed about the fact that he had a pair of swim shorts on

and he used a pair of nipples? It would look weird if he didn't have nipples, wouldn't it? Well, because we... It annoys me because we literally talked about this. I'm sure we did on the show. And if we haven't, I'm sorry, there's massive dereliction of duty. This is right up our strata, right up our street.

Having old Super Mario with his nips out. Yeah, about... Would it been, two, three years ago when that game came out, Nintendo, for some reason, just released a couple of press shots with Mario with his top off and they crafted these little, like little sort of toddler's nipples, aren't they?

They're sort of like neither used nor ornament, really. But what are they supposed to do? They're like a video game character's nipple. They just need to show the purpose, don't they? They're sort of like neither use nor ornament really. But what are they supposed to do? They're like a video game character's nipple. I've said it before, aren't toddlers' nipples weird? And Super Mario's basically got flat, no nipples nipples, if you know what I mean. It's like it's been

drawn on. But I think this is probably an example of where they experiment with a lot of different designs and it all just looks weird. They will have done. Oh, that's another thing you know i spoke said i went to the uh went to the pub uh with uh my neighbors they want the pub they wanted to buy um i was telling them about you know like um uh women women you know women you You know elephants of a certain age, a puberty, a female, you know, of age, female elephants, they have boobs. And we've spoken about this before.

Yeah, but that's not a pub conversation for your neighbours, mate. Yeah, but the thing is, I told them about it. I got a picture of the elephant boobs and showed them it. Turns out Sarah told me that I told that story on the first day I met them. Sarah told me that I told that story on the first day I met them.

That sounds like a fucking elephant tit maniac. What must they think of you? What do you think they think of you? Oh, I'm sure they... Whatever they think, they're going to find out anyway, so it's fine, you know. Get it out early.

Get the nips out early. I do think, so for me, if I live in the same neighbourhood as someone like you I would like it because you're eccentric you're interesting you're a breath of fresh air

I think when you talk about elephant tits it just takes a turn doesn't it really yeah up to a point to danger to my children yeah it's just it's not right

yeah alright well Andrew thank you very much for bringing to our attention Super Mario's do we just call him do I just call him Mario or what do I call him

yeah Mario Mario's n. Mario's nipples. Mario's nipples, yeah. He looks good, I think. Alright, do you want to read the email, Pete? Alright, then. James in London. James in London. Infamous Aileen Wuornos. Don't think you guys have mentioned, but serial killer

Aileen Wuornos has got to be up there as a famous Aileen. Charlize Theron won an Oscar playing her, as well as the two Nick Broomfields documentaries, which are great. I appreciate she's probably more infamous than famous. I do remember that film. I don't really remember the story.

I just remember Charlize Theron looking a bit worse for wear. That's all I can remember. Yeah, I think a lot of people would be in the same boat as you on that front. Is Christina Ricci in it, I want to say? Oh, Christina Ricci's in Yellow Jacket, so she's excellent in it.

Oh, God, you and your Yellow Jacket, honestly. It's a great show. So, there's a few things here. So, Eileen is spelt differently, so we have to work out whether we're going to accept that as a famous Eileen.

Secondly, she's basically a serial killer. So I'm not sure if that should count, because she got busted for six counts of murder. So should that count? Wasn't her story that she was doing it for justice or something?

Didn't she? It was some moody stuff where people, the court of public opinion sort of came on the side of her a little bit because of what she'd gone through, etc, etc. So, yeah, she was a serial killer, but I'm fairly certain there was something in there. I can't remember any of it,

and I'm sure Luke's little fingers are typing away as we speak to try and unpick the Not even I can do six murders in ten seconds while you're talking away All I know is that all the stuff that James says is true

I've seen one, I didn't know there were two but I've definitely seen one of the Nick Broomfield documentaries where I think she's on death row when he's interviewing her I think she claims some kind of self-defense but you're a bit like six times not a number six separate people i don't know i don't know enough about it but the salient point is that we should work out whether we're going to accept her as a famous eileen one because it's spelt differently and two i suppose she is famous people know who she is so i guess she kind of counts i think i think she counts eileen is a yeah eileen eileen is an island if it sounds like eileen then come on eileen above

the border the the norse ark of eileen's you're allowed in and we're talking about this of course for those who don't remember is because we found out the other week that shania twain's real name was eileen twain right we said she must be the only famous eileen apart from and then you said eileen Drury, who you, I think, at the time thought was the head of the FA, but she wasn't. She was just a faith healer that Glenn Hoddle got in. Oh, yes.

Yes, I do get confused. So Eileen Wernos is the best shout so far. Any advances on that, greatly appreciated. All right, I think we've got time for probably one more email, Peter. Let's do... Do you want an email, or do you want the potted history of the Quincy ME episodes where he serves the World Cup?

I think I'll have that one, the latter. Do an email anytime, can't we? When three people die as a result of botulism poisoning, Quincy along with Dr Janet Carlyle of the Health Department try to find the link. They discover all three were at a huge outdoor stadium and realise it was the common denominator. The stadium's managers hesitant What year was that, Pete? So there you go. Look. Botulism assaulting the World Cup. I used to watch a lot of Quincy when I was in university.

What year was that, Pete? That was 1980. It was called Deadly Arena. Fucking 80s were mad. It was fantastic. It was mad. It really was. Absolutely mad.

I mean, that hasn't stimulated as much conversation as I thought, so I reckon I can still do an email as well. All right. I'm going to do another email from Neil from Red Beach, New Zealand. He's always getting in touch but to be honest, the quality of his contributions are very high

so good luck to him. He says, alright gents, following on from the Hells Angels Harley Davidson thing, that was when I talked about, I found out a while back where the Hells Angels came from. You can go back and listen if you want.

Neil says, this reminded me of the impact of World War IIi running into the mid 80s in liverpool my dad worked for a newspaper there um it was the liverpool daily post and echo and they made him redundant in the early 90s he was allowed a company car and pretty much could choose anything within a certain price range except he wasn't allowed to choose anything from japan Germany. This was so not to put money in their economies post-World War II. This changed in the late 80s, and nearly everyone, when they could, got a new company car and went for an Audi. Keep up the work. Great work, Neil.

Just keep up the work. It's interesting that that's the case, because I seem to remember a story which could be apocryphal, and people will tell me if it is, that the reason that Alsatian dogs are called Alsatians is because immediately post-world war ii no one would take a dog that was called a german shepherd because they were from alsace weren't they yeah but they were called german shepherds before that right okay and no one would take this that'd be rebranded right yeah and i also read something really interesting in the lead up to World War II in Germany

about the presence and influence of American car companies in Nazi Germany, continuing to trade, continuing to work under conditions imposed upon them by the Nazi government. And that was really fascinating as well. But I had no idea that that existed. That's a really interesting insight from Neil

that basically they wouldn't be allowed to have a Japanese or a German company car right up until the 80s. That's crazy. That is mad isn't it? I've got a German car now. Bloody love it. Well done. Which one is it?

Is it an Audi? Is it a Beamer? Before we wrap up and we are wrapping up pretty soon aka now we were talking about Mario having nipples Street Fighter 6

has been announced it's amazing that that game since Street Fighter 1 which was a very limited game I love 2 Street Fighter 2

is the big one you know it's been out since the 90s 80s they're only on 6 there are so many 80s. They're only on six. Yeah, it's weird. There are so many games in between.

They're only on number six. Street Fighter 6 is announced, and the big story is, not nipple-based, but Ryu is wearing sandals. For fighting, that's mad. For fighting. He's wearing Ryu, he's got a beard, and his sweaty body, and he is wearing sandals.

I think he might have let himself go. I think he's been on beard and his sweaty body and he is wearing sandals i think he might let himself go i think he's been uh on the internet for too long what um what platforms are these on oh it'll be on everything i'm sure your pfs your ps5 is probably going to make it to the arcade as well you imagine so yeah he's he's always been i think he's always been uh barefoot but now he's wearing sandals. He looks a bit like Jack Black. Who? Ryu. Fair, okay, fair. Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Pete, just a sped up Street Fighter 2?

Yeah, I don't know. Fighting games are really not my forte so I wouldn't like to dip a toe but yes, I think it was sped up with a few more movesets and maybe you could take control of M. Bison or some bollocks. I loved Street Fighter 2 Turbo. It was fucking

classic on the Super Nintendo. Good luck to him. That's what I say. Good luck to him. Alright, that's as much time as we've got today but we

will of course be back next week as usual for more of this. Hello at LukeandPete Show.com is the email address. At Luke and Pete

Show is the social media destination. Pete, I've long suspected on every podcast that as soon as you start the wrap-up chat the listeners can tell um so they've a lot of them probably would have switched off by now why don't you give them a little uh little uh easter egg now um before so for the people who've stuck around they get rewarded what do you mean like you sort of people

turn up halfway to turn off halfway through give them've got nothing. I'm absolutely spent. You want something from my life, what I've been up to, what I'm doing. They've been justified in their decision, haven't they? They have. I stood in a dog poo in a bag.

It wasn't my bag of dog poo. Next to my car. I got out of my car, put my foot straight into a bag full of dog shit, which kind of burst and sort of squirted up in the air didn't hit my shoe but I was like

this is weird because it was like a delayed reaction of the poo hitting my foot it's just a bit there you go the people who switched off when they heard the outro

they fucking missed that and fuck them they bagged it up they bagged it up and then just left it in the street what's that about weirdos

absolute weirdos that's worse than just leaving a turd day in my opinion because at least the tur the turds gonna disintegrate right i saw a sign on um on lee beach that basically said uh things you're not allowed to do i took a picture of it's like fascinating uh all the things you're not allowed to do but you know you're normal kind of like um barbecues and uh drinking and stuff like that but you know uh defecating says that you're not allowed to defecate in a public place and it's got like that. But, you know, defecating. You're not allowed to defecate in a public place

and it's got like a little don't do a shit sign in the thing. Always nice to get a reminder. Always nice to get a reminder. No spitting. That's another example of all the stuff people who've switched off when they heard the start of the outro are going to miss out on. We are going to leave you now, though. We genuinely are going to go.

We'll see you next week. Have a lovely weekend. We love you all and we'll speak to you soon. Intoxicating substances. What about love? Are you allowed to fall in love on the beach? The Luke and Pete Show is a Stack production and part of the ACAST Creator Network.
