and it's the luke and peach show i'm sort of doing a little voice like um rhubarb and custard
yeah a little bit before our time but it's still a reference that really endured yeah i think it was
but it was it was something that endured i think old Rhubarb and Custard. It made shockwaves in the cultural community, though.
What?
It was just a cat.
Yeah, it was 1974.
Was it a dog or a cat or something?
Way before our time.
Was it a dog or a cat or something?
Rhubarb was a dog and Custard was a cat, I think,
and they just hung out.
Yeah, so Rhubarb is a green dog.
Yeah.
And Custard, it was a pink cat.
Okay, yeah.
And according to the Wikipedia page,
Rhubarb was always involved in some kind of
misadventure, which he approached with enthusiasm
as Custard was cynical and set out to
sabotage Rhubarb's fun. Right.
Okay. Is that kind of
similar to the...
Well, not really, but it's a little bit of a crossover
between Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner there?
I guess so. I think
some cartoons are quite fucking route one, aren't they, really?
It's basic stuff.
Yeah.
It needs to be relatable.
Yeah.
And the great Richard Breyers, sadly no longer with us, provided the voices, didn't he?
Or did he do the voiceover?
Richard Breyers.
Richard Breyers.
Richard Breyers, the thing that perhaps did the narration?
Yeah.
There was a really good TV show with Richard Breyers.
He did The Good Life or something, didn't he?
Yes, correct, yeah.
And it was about a senile old man.
He played a senile old man who was just losing it.
But it was the sweetest TV show.
And I seem to remember him blowing up the toilet
because he put the wrong bleach in.
He put too much bleach in or he mixed the bleach or something like that.
And it was just
it was really really sweet
and I'd never really sort of
and it didn't really sort of
make any sort of impact
I love those kind of like
lost forgotten sitcoms
that you feel like
you feel like you're
the only person
who actually
who actually watched them
there's a few that I really liked
that no one really liked
Chickens
I thought was really funny
which has been
a couple of guys
that was ITV wasn't it
no Chickens
was Sky 1 Sky 1 it felt ITV wasn't it no our chickens were Sky 1 Sky 1
it felt ITV
didn't it
yeah maybe yeah
Saxondale
criminally overlooked
Saxondale's the root
of all the
modern Partridge stuff
you can see him
checking out
trying out
stuff that would
later become
the modern iteration
of Alan Partridge
yeah fair
brilliant to watch
so rewatchable
so good luck to
Richard Bryars
God rest him
but I should also point out that he was also in the 2012 Danny Dyer Yeah, fair, fair, fair. It's actually brilliant to watch. So rewatchable. So good luck to Richard Bryars. God rest him.
But I should also point out that he was also in the 2012 Danny Dyer vehicle,
Run For Your Wife.
Run For Your Wife with Neil Morrissey?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
Famous for grossing just £602.
Sex Life of the Potato Men.
Remember those?
All those kind of films that would just like,
would come out.
Do you know, Sex Life of the Potato Men is a weird one because...
It's got Corden in it, isn't it?
Corden and Simon Pegg.
No.
It's got Gareth from The Office.
I don't,
I've not seen it.
You're right.
And I'm going to come on to that point.
I haven't seen it.
And I should probably watch it,
although it's quite difficult to find on streaming services.
The cast is absolutely incredible.
How can it be so bad
right
Johnny Vegas is capable
can we agree with that
oh Johnny Vegas
right yes
yeah
Mackenzie Crook is amazing
like multiple BAFTA winner
Mark Gatiss is in it
yeah
who created Sherlock
and does that stuff
Julia Davis is also in it
who is a brilliant comedy actor
Adrian Charles is weirdly in it
I don't know why
because there's a race
and he'll be the commentator or something won't he he plays Adrian Charles is weirdly in it, I don't know why. Because there's a race and he'll be the commentator
or something, won't he?
He plays,
Adrian Charles apparently plays
a towel man.
A towel man.
I don't know what that means.
So anyway,
critics apparently dislike
the film intensely
and it's one of the only films
to have a 0% rating
on Rotten Tomatoes.
I've no idea why.
What are we talking about?
Rhubarb and Custard.
Rhubarb and...
Na-na-na-na.
Na-na-na-na.
Na-na-na-na.
Way before our time,
but still managed to puncture the cultural zeitgeist.
Well, you sort of, I guess,
I mean, it's a lovely guitar sound.
I saw this, you know, like you have like MIDI guitars.
So like, you know, they convert analog picking and notes
to digital information.
But there was these mad fucking ones in the, I think, 60s,
the late 60s that came out, like astonishingly early.
These guitars that were just, they looked so heavy, so heavy,
because they had so much tech in there.
And they were like proper organs, but it was played with,
it was played like a normal kind of midi keyboard guitar thing
but instead of
when you would press
on the strings
it would complete a circuit
to each individual fret
and that would play
like a kind of
an organ kind of sound effectively
but it was incredibly analogue
and incredibly old school
What's the point of it
when you can just play a piano
or keyboard? Well what's the point of it when you can just play a piano or keyboard
well what's the point
of any midi guitar
nobody plays them
because they sound terrible
looks fucking sweet
no it's not keytar
it's a proper guitar
that converts
the journey of the sound
begins
when
plectrum is picked
against a string
and the finger is pressed
against the
it's just a guitar then
it is just a guitar but it I don't understand what you're talking about so say you play an A on the E string and the finger is pressed against the... It's just a guitar then? It is just a guitar, but it...
I don't understand what you're talking about.
So say you play an A on the E string, right?
The low E.
It says, what's that then?
The computer in the guitar nowadays,
where the MIDI guitar goes, what's that then?
Oh, I know what that is.
It's an A played on the E string.
It's an A, it's an A, right?
I know what that's going to...
It's a supercomputer.
Oh, I know what that is.
I'm going to tell the computer that an A has just been played,
and then the computer can either internally or externally can basically,
you've got that as information and basically play a dog on roof.
But in, so you go, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof.
Like when you used to get like your weird settings on your keyboard. Exactly, yeah. So you go, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof. Like when you used to get your weird settings on your keyboard.
Exactly, yeah.
So it turns analogue data into...
A wingdings of sound.
Into digital data.
And you can do all kinds of stuff.
You could have drum beats.
So they could have done that back in the 60s,
but it would have been completely analogue.
How would they have been able to do that?
So back then, it was all analogue.
It never went digital.
It wasn't a MIDI output.
It was just an amazing organ sound
that basically was an electronic organ,
like a rudimentary electronic organ.
But instead of converting to digital data
and then producing the audio,
it was a completely analogue system.
But it was an organ, and they're like four grand,
and I love it.
I love it.
Did you ever pick it up?
It seems like there's just so many dials and
stuff on it. If you know what Pete's talking about
can you email hello at lukeandpetech.com and explain
it to me?
Before we move on can we also talk
a little bit about something we mentioned last
week. Right. These weird TV
radio cassette players you've been buying.
Okay yeah. From Shoeberry Ness.
Shoeberry Ness. Jumping in the car
popping on down to Shoeberry Ness,
paying, what, a one-er
for this old piece of 70s tech?
What's a one-er?
100 quid.
No, 20 quid.
Oh, so that's good.
For two?
Yeah.
10 a reach.
Yeah.
A 10% of the price, I thought.
And you got one of them working.
I did get one of them working.
I managed to figure out an RF,
an issue mitre RF kind of input sort of thing. That's crazy. So now I can get... I spoke to LC about these and I managed to figure out a an RF an issue mitre RF
kind of input sort of thing
that's crazy
so now I can get
I spoke to LC about these
and I showed them the video
and they'd never seen one before
right
they'd never even heard of one before
what like a TV
a TV radio thing before
there was like a little TV
inside a radio cassette
because they're built to be portable
they've got handles on them
yeah
so if they're built to be portable
what was the idea behind them
you just put them on a table
and
or put them wherever you want
plug them in
I could imagine a builder on a site
watching the world cup
so what have you actually watched
through it at the moment
I watched one of those sad old c words
on twitter drinking
did you?
you actually managed to run that
through
that's brilliant from my computer that's really cool it was a real drinking. Did you? Yeah. Well, you actually managed to run that through... Yeah.
That's brilliant.
From my computer, yeah.
That's really cool.
It was a real... I felt like John Logie bad.
So basically,
let me just sum this up.
You've gone online,
you found them,
you got in the car,
you drove to Shoebury Nest,
you paid 20 quid,
you lumped them in the car,
drove all the way back,
spent a few hours
sorting them out.
And then you were able to watch something that you could have just watched on your phone in like five seconds. lumped them in the car drove all the way back spent a few hours sorting them out dicking about
and then you were able
to watch something
that you could have
just watched on your phone
in like five seconds
should we do batteries
it's the platform
you're interested in
it's the platform
I think it's very interesting
to see
well actually
there's a bit of a vogue
at the moment
it's been very tech heavy
already but like
there's a bit of a vogue
at the moment
that
retro video game
enthusiasts
will not play video games on flat screens anymore.
They insist on playing them on big, fat CRTs.
So people are grabbing all stock of these massive behemoth fucking CRTs.
They're massive fucking things.
And they're ridiculously heavy.
They take three men to lift them, three people to lift them.
They take, they're like, they're so massive, these things.
But people swear by them.
Because video games, if you're into retro video games,
these games were created for cathode ray tubes.
They were created for old, big, 3D, big, fat tellies.
Well, if you watch something on a plasma screen or LCD or lcd screen it just looks a bit too
precise or a bit washed out or a bit these games were designed for the very quick refresh rates of
a of a very quick response rates of a of a crt and all telly basically and so they just look better
the gradients look better they look less uh precise. Is it more playable? Yes, it is.
Yeah, the response rate is ridiculous.
And if you're a speed runner
or a person who relies on that,
you can't pixel count as well
because the pixels are a bit smeary.
But the response is so much better
on those old school tellies
because they didn't do so much processing
to get the signal on the telly.
So by some measures then,
the new TVs are actually worse. Yeah, for certain things. But there's a real vogue for finding these old on the telly. So by some measures then, the new TVs are actually worse.
Yeah, for certain things.
But there's a real vogue for finding these old fucking big tellies.
How many of them are left?
Well, very few.
And obviously the skills of fixing televisions,
which, you know, will be lost at some point
because, you know, they're quite difficult.
And fucking dangerous as well.
Very, very high voltage.
Yeah, it's not great for you.
And also it's not great for the environment
because they take ten times
as much energy
to get them running.
Yeah, but you'd have to run that
against the balance
of just disposable tech.
People just chuck it
I guess so, yeah, I suppose.
So maybe it would balance it out.
Yeah.
That's kind of interesting
and this is for people
who want to play video games
as quickly as possible.
Well, like retro enthusiasts
and stuff, yeah.
Are you talking about yourself here?
I don't play any video games
at night and I sort of read about don't play any video games at night.
I sort of read about more video games than I play.
Come and play some PUBG with me.
We need someone else in our squad.
We need someone else in our squad, mate.
Let's talk about the Stack Sports Day.
Oh, yeah, cool.
We were on opposing teams, weren't we?
They kept us apart.
They kept us apart.
The two big swingers.
The two MVPs.
Yeah.
How did you feel it went for you?
Happy?
Not great, to be honest.
Why?
Won the rounders.
I was terrible at football.
We won the rounders,
but I didn't hit a single ball
or catch a single ball.
I think I was as trawshed
as it possibly could be.
I was the worst.
Do you have a feeling like, say,
you know,
if, say, your team won a big tournament
but you didn't play
a single minute
do you feel like that?
Yeah I feel a little bit like that
do you?
Yeah I feel like I let everyone down
have you stepped up to the plate
in rounders?
you didn't connect
bat on ball?
no not once
who was pitching?
I think everyone
who was pitching?
I think it was you Luke
you didn't hit any of my balls either
and John was complaining
the third
the third of the triforce of stack.
You were not rounders
pitching in the spirit
of the event.
You were pitching
really low and really fast.
I was pitching
the right height
and really fast
because I didn't want
you to hit it.
I didn't want you people
to hit it.
I got a home run
but we still lost.
But then we won
the five-a-side football
so I was happy with that.
You certainly did, yeah.
I mean, what do you think?
We were down a player to be fair because Temi Buster,, so I was happy with that. You certainly did, yeah. Yeah. I mean, what do you think? We were down a player, to be fair,
because Temi bust a ankle.
I was kind of a little bit annoyed
that you weren't annoyed with me
for being too competitive.
Because normally you get really annoyed with me for that.
I think you've...
I think you've...
I think you...
I think we both...
We're two boys with bad knees.
Yeah.
We weren't enjoying ourselves.
Bad knees still saw that.
We weren't enjoying ourselves at all.
Yeah.
So I think we...
I think we both...
We both understood our limitations. You're making out that I've chilled out a little bit. I think we I think we both we both understood
our limitations
you're making
I've chilled out a
little bit
I've fucking
had a noise
with shit
you've lost
your fire mate
absolutely
a noise
with shit
it's absolutely
outrageous
but it was really
a day for the
young'uns
wasn't it
it was
they were like
come on grandad
you come on
and absolutely
pick up the bill
in the pub after
but it ain't about you.
We did all right in the darts.
We played a bit of darts as well.
Oh, last time we told our Luke and Pete show family
that we came last in the darts last time.
I actually came fourth this time.
Well, there you go.
Well done.
You're very happy with it.
Top half.
I upset my darts partner by throwing my darts
from the other side of the room.
Yeah, you always have to do something different.
You always have to try and make things,
make it so that the rules don't apply to you. Yeah, but if it happens, something different. You always have to try and make it so
that the rules don't
apply to you.
Yeah, but if it
happens, fuck me,
it's going to be good.
Why are you covered
in paint today, by
the way?
What are you
talking about?
You're covered in
white paint.
Stay away from my
shed.
I pick a fence,
like the Forth
Bridge.
I've built...
I think regular
listeners of this
show will feel like
you've been painting
that fence for quite
a long time now.
Because I did one court and then it bloody rained all bloody week.
So then I had to...
And also, I had to cut up a load of wood.
I had to find the wood to replace the slats that are broken.
And I had to make it look exactly the same as the other slats.
I had to paint them up.
I've done an alright job.
I tell you what.
I tell you what other particular thing I flirted with over the weekend,
bit of cement.
I mixed cement for the first time, Luke.
Okay.
Talk us through the process.
Oh, that hardens very quickly, doesn't it?
On a warm day.
So what did you do?
I had like two seconds and it was hard.
I was like, oh, fuck!
I've fucked another bucket.
So basically I had this bucket,
I was mixing it in
and it would just harden
and I go, oh, fuck!
I fucked it again.
How do you stop cement hardening?
You keep it mixed,
that's what cement mixers are for,
aren't they?
You just keep it,
the cement just keeps mixing it
and it never solidifies.
But yeah,
you've got to keep that shit moving
otherwise that cement
ain't fucking going anywhere.
It was amazing.
I was like,
I've never dicked around
with cement before.
It was really fun.
What were you doing it for?
I was fixing a
paving slab
you killed a man
I've done a Beth Jordash
yeah
I've er
I was
the paving outside the back
was erm
it was buggered
so er
it kept lifting up
because the
fucking ants have been at it
bloody ants have been at it Luke
that's some ants
I've been digging around
I've been digging around
in there I swear
so that went up so I glued glued that down I've been digging around in there I swear so that went up
so I glued
glued that down
with cement
and also I fixed
a fence post
to the floor
and it just all went
it all went as expected
but I'm just very surprised
how quick
and how
how burning
I forget
it's quite strong alkali
isn't it
yeah
it's a little good for you
burn your hand
no
it was all over my hands
so you've
you've stepped up
the DIY to cement now.
Cement boy.
Did you go to the harbour store and buy all the powder and all the stuff you need?
No, I literally just bought one for the boys who don't know what they're doing
that costs ten times the amount of normal cement.
Because you need sand and stuff.
Basically, it's just a cement that's in a big bucket.
You've got these two bags,
and you just sling them on.
A bigger boy would never use that, would they?
No.
God, no, they'd mix their own.
Yeah.
Maybe that's the next step for you.
So, fair enough, you've been painting a fence.
Why is the paint still all over you?
I tried rubbing it off with white spirit, whatever.
I hit a little burpy there.
Whenever I say white spirit, the white spirit comes out of you.
It's those fucking pink pickled onions.
When did you actually paint the fence?
I did a bit of touching up,
so to speak, yesterday.
So you just thought to yourself,
fuck it, I'll just go out covered in paint.
What do you want me to do?
Get in the shower?
I tried.
It doesn't look cool. I want me to do? Get in the shower? I ate a film. I tried. It didn't come off.
It's not flexing your bicep.
It doesn't look cool.
You flexed your bicep.
I'm trying to break the paint off.
Break the paint off your bicep by flexing.
I ate a film with Finn earlier,
and he didn't have an end for the video.
I went, I've got an end for your video.
I'm clearly covered in paint.
I'll explain why I'm covered in paint.
Do you know how much of a grafter Finn is, by the way?
Yeah, he is.
3 a.m., wasn't it?
Sunday night he worked till 3 a.m.
because of the lionesses.
And he was back in the office at 8 on Monday morning.
Well, he got me in early
and he didn't have stuff ready.
I was like, I've got stuff ready.
But I didn't realise he'd finished at 3 in the morning.
I mean, Finn, that is ridiculous, mate.
I'm so sorry
I had a little pop it
in first thing as well
and then he kind of
mumbled something
and I was like
oh what time did you
finish up last night
three
oh sorry mate
I didn't realise
Finn's a bit of me
yeah
he's a bit of a silly boy
and it's
very unsatisfying
he's just
he's quite hapless
you tell him off
for being late for stuff
I don't tell him off for being late for stuff.
I tell him off for being...
He's not here to defend himself.
Right, okay, fine.
But he isn't...
Let me just put this away.
He's a brilliant, brilliant person.
He's the best.
But he's not the most organised.
Right.
And you tell him off last week before the sports day.
I was like,
Oh, my boy.
I was like,
Yes, my boy. Listen, Finn, you keep keep this up we'll get him in that early grave
no because there's a running there's a running trope where he's always he always got a catchphrase
which is yeah yeah you go ahead i'll catch you up he's never quite finished anyway let's take a
break when we come back we're gonna do an email about grave robbery and it's nothing to do with Finn. I'll be right with you.
Oh, we're back with the Luke and Pete show
and it's about this time
on the old Luke and Pete show
we do a couple of emails
here and there.
When can we bother?
We don't always do it.
And I think a lot of the charm,
a lot of the quote unquote charm
about this show
is that people listening
generally just don't know
what's going to happen
and where we're going to do stuff.
Sometimes we'll say an email,
we'll think of something else,
and we won't ever go back to it.
And then you get to stick online for it.
And it's like, just enjoy it, guys.
That's true.
Why does everything have to be so regulated?
Why does everything have to be so traditional?
Chill out, dude.
You're talking to two people
who were told they'd never have a career
in broadcasting
because they weren't good enough.
When they were broadcasting.
Yeah, this is after we were actually doing it.
So anyway, do you want to read the email
or do I want to?
You get it out, yeah.
I'll react.
Did you read up the email address or not bother?
Yeah, hello at lucanpeachshow.com.
You can also get in touch
at lucanpeachshow on the Twitter.
Yeah.
And Instagram.
Yeah.
So this is about grave robbery
and it's from Chris
who says,
Hello, Luke and Pete.
Hello, the Luke and the Pete.
Your recent email from a police officer
got me thinking about the weirdest case
I've been involved with.
Whenever a police officer emails in,
we always get a load of follow-ups.
People are interested in that.
That's true, yeah.
Do you remember the bread toilet thing, for example?
Oh, yeah.
Wiping the toilet with the bread.
Yeah.
So Chris says,
I'm a detective working for the Victoria Police
in Melbourne, Australia.
Or as they call it over there, Stryer.
And I've been on the force for a little over a decade.
The standard of crimes we investigate are things like burglaries, robberies and assaults.
Earlier this year, however, we had a series of grave robberies from the local cemetery
in which the offender broke into a number of crypts, forced open the coffin.
Crypt in the crypts.
and stole human heads.
Oh, we don't like that.
For what purpose, I have no idea.
Even the most experienced officers on the force
had never heard of such a crime being committed in living memory.
The case is still before the court,
so I can't go into too much detail
beyond what's already been released to the media.
But thankfully, we were able to solve the case
and recover their heads
I'd love to know
what other weird
and wonderful crimes
your listeners
have been involved in
also I found a pair
of full wind batteries
in my baby's
portable white noise maker
doubt they're a new player
but I don't recall
hearing about them before
well you're not going
to hear about that today
Chris because we did it
on a Thursday
so if you want to
re-email in
you're welcome to
otherwise we will
not be checking them
Pete what do you think
inspires someone to go into a crypt
and go after those sweet heads?
Yeah.
You've got to really want a head, haven't you?
You've got to really want them heads.
It reminds me of, what was that?
Was it a journalist or something who died in the 80s
and he had his legs stolen and they got replaced with pipes?
Do you remember?
No!
Because I don't remember
because that never happened.
It did.
They got replaced by pipes.
Do you remember the journalist
in the 80s who died,
got his legs stolen
and they replaced him with pipes?
Oh my God,
I'm trying to remember.
It doesn't even make any fucking sense.
It does make sense.
There's no point to the story.
It does make sense.
Oh, nuts.
I can't remember the bloody...
Oh, never mind.
So what I'd be interested to know,
to the extent that I am actually interested in this story,
is that if you're going into a crib...
Alistair Cooke.
Right.
Captain of England Cricket.
No.
He's a British-American writer.
Right.
He did Letters from America.
I want to hear the story
because almost certainly the actual story
is going to be ever so slightly different
and it's going to make sense to be ever so slightly different.
They're going to make sense.
All right.
To what you remember.
Yeah.
Go on.
In 2005, the New York Daily News reported that the first of all, in the 80s, you said, well, that was what it was reported.
When did he die?
2004.
All right.
He died in 1995.
That's decent.
Yeah. Oh, no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Decent.
Decent.
Decent.
Good.
Yeah.
That's decent.
Oh, no, yeah.
Decent, decent, decent.
Good.
Yeah.
The New York Daily News reported that the bones of Cook and many other people, I mean, this guy's super famous.
Right.
Many of the people have been surgically removed before cremation
by employees of Biomedical Tissue Services of Fort Lee, New Jersey,
a tissue recovery firm.
The thieves sold the bones for use as medical grade bone grafts.
And, I mean, it's a high risk player because the cancer from which Cook actually died from
had spread through his bones.
So, like, there's no shit.
Just my luck.
But they got replaced with pipes.
I can only apologise, Peter.
You've remembered the story properly
and it's actually proven to have happened. You were 25
years out? Modern day grave robbery.
Yeah. Amazing. That's basically how a lot of
surgical developments and
improvements were made, isn't it? Back in the day, yeah.
I mean, back in the day, though.
1800s and stuff. Yeah, 1800s.
I mean, it's still part... People have
donated their body for science. Yeah.
Or basically robbed graves
and given them away
well my mum and dad
were
they said they were
down on the list
for
to be given
to like Newcastle University
and then they
they took themselves off
because it would be
too much of a pain
for me and my sister
they're just constantly
they're worried about
how much stuff
is in the loft
because when they die
it's like to be honest I'm not mum I'm not you about how much stuff is in the loft. It's like, to be honest, I'm not, mum,
I'm not, you're not going to be in the back of the Fiat.
Someone will come and pick you up
from the place to where they're supposed to be picked up from.
Well, it's just a normal conversation with your mum, isn't it?
Just a normal Donaldson family conversation.
So you're in a row because your mum wants to donate her body to medical science.
And you said, I'm happy with that.
It's no problem.
And she said, no, it'd probably. It's no problem. And she said,
no,
it'd probably be a hassle for you.
Yeah.
And what did you do then?
Sit down and have your dinner?
Yeah,
just had me born.
Is that a conversation normal families have?
Well,
it's just,
it would have been a nice thing for them to do,
but they just,
it's too much fucking,
too much fucking admin.
I was like,
you'll be dead.
Don't worry about it.
You know what?
I'll probably need somebody to distract myself.
They are demented.
What,
you're going to drive your dead mother? I think probably need somebody to distract myself. They are demented, those two. Are you going to drive your dead mother to the...
I think they need to go home.
I think we need to have a conversation.
I think they need to go.
I think they need to go.
Because they just rub themselves up the wrong...
They spend their days just rubbing themselves up the wrong way.
So you responded by saying,
presumably because you'll be grief stricken
because your mother's passed away
Yeah.
It would be better
to have something to do
but what you mean
stick your mum
in the back of the Fiat 500
and drive her to
Newcastle University.
Who knows if Wordle's
still going to be there.
It doesn't work like that.
You can't just walk into
the reception
of a dead person
and go
they wanted to be here.
That's my point.
I'm not going to be doing
the admin are they?
I'll just sign a form
someone will come round
the clipboard
and they'll have them in the van.
They'll have them in the refrigerated van.
And you'll go, right, all I've got to do now is sort out the attic.
I'll just do this.
I'll just go, sort out the attic.
Right, that's done.
But what would you do for the service?
What?
What would you do about the service?
I'll go, oh, I've gone in the wrong order.
She's already gone.
I don't know.
What do you mean for the service?
Use some pipes.
Sing a song. Sing a song sing a song
I'll make
I'll make my own
papier-mâché mum
I don't feel comfortable
talking about this
because I really like your mum
she's really lovely
and I feel like
you've got the room
which to comment on this
because she's your mum
but I don't feel like
I have the permission
the floor is open
for you to criticise
my mum for some reason
what's in her attic
what's in the attic
I don't know
because you know what
my mum does as a tactic
really attic.
Right.
Because hers is exactly
the same.
And what happens is
when she knows I'm
coming for the weekend
she'll get some shit
down from the attic.
But you know what's
worse than that?
She'll just put it
in my car.
She'll put it in the
boot of the car.
Yeah.
So I won't know
until I've got back.
I'll just put this
stuff in.
By the way,
it'll be done like this last time you came you
left a t-shirt here okay so i've washed it for you and i've put it in that bag all right i'll go and
put it in the car for you the bag is like one of those fucking hippo bags right outside of your
house when you're having the building work done and it's full of shit absolutely full of stuff
and then if that doesn't work she'll do the old I'm probably just going to chuck all this away
I'm like mum don't do that
because it might be some memories in there
and I haven't got time to look at it now
it's in the attic
that's what the attic's for
copies of Razzle
yeah
could be
you never know
could be
anyway
Peter anyway
that's it
Peter anyway
let's get out of here
let's just get going
because I don't really like the idea
of you talking about your parents passing away
and all that kind of stuff
I don't like it either
but it's something we'll
have to deal with.
Yeah.
We'll all have to deal
with it at some point.
Me and you.
We're going to have to
deal with the bodies.
Which of us do you
think will die first?
It's going to be me
isn't it?
Why?
Asthma.
You've seen that?
What?
That's fine though isn't
it?
Put pressure on that
isn't it?
I'm older than you as
well.
That's true yeah. Why don't we do a Twitter poll? We're both older than you as well that's true yeah
why don't we do a Twitter poll
we're both from very
shitty areas
it's true
so that
you know life expectancy
and all that
yeah
you have more ailments
than me though
I do
I have more
things to
I think
yours deaf by a thousand cuts
I've clearly
I was
I was doing it
I can't sing certain notes
I think we were talking
about this before
yeah
every body by by Backstreet's back Backstreet Boys clearly I was sort of doing I can't sing certain notes I think we were talking about this before Every Bardi
by Backstreet Boys
Oh the rock your body
Yeah there's a certain
note that I can never hit
Did you used to be able
to hit it?
Yeah
So you've got a bit
of a raw plant going on
I've got a polyp
It's clearly I've got a polyp
No it's just because
your vocal cords change
as you get older
No no no
I can do the note above
I can do the note below
It's a polyp
Show us this then I can't You can't above I can do the nought below it's a polyp show us this then
I can't
you can't just say that
you can't tell
I'm not sure

ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha you're fucking starting you've got emphysema what are you doing I've definitely
so there's definitely
something wrong
with my vocal cords
you know I make my money
but I do use my voice
a lot of the time
so I should really
look into it
and Sarah's like
you should look into it
like I had a polyp
you know I got treated
for it
it was fixed
all good
lovely stuff
that sounds like a polyp
I was like Sarah
I've got a very long list
and that is
that's very much in there that would be be nice, wouldn't it, Colin?
Sorry, you just said you make your money from your voice a lot of the time.
How else are you making money?
There's nothing else you do.
I was going to do a very erotic little...
Building fences.
DIY, yeah.
Reselling IPTV on the internet.
No, I don't know.
You make all your money
from that beautiful voice
yeah I know
that beautiful northeastern
little
it's not quite Newcastle
is it
I wish
I wish it was just that
though wasn't it
it's not just a Geordie
meetings and stuff
what I'm saying is
if you had a proper
Geordie accent
right
I think you'd make more money
I think you'd have made
more money from voiceovers
because of the Big Brother thing
he's from Billingham
you said also with him you said no one actually talks like that.
He puts a silly voice on.
So do you when you're doing your voiceovers.
No, I don't.
I just express myself.
I don't sort of up my accent, do I?
I just sort of go, hello, here's the information.
I'm not embarrassed by me giving you that information
because a lot of people when they do voiceovers,
they mumble through because they're a bit scared to emote.
Okay, say in your normal voice,
hello, here's some information.
Hello, here's some information.
Now do it as your voiceover voice.
Hello, here's some information.
Yeah, exactly.
But I'm not upping my accent, am I?
I don't think people listening know there's so much difference
between voiceover stuff and normal stuff.
Yeah, because some people are just embarrassed
at selling information, and I don't think you should be.
We're literally in the information business.
We're literally in the information business.
Fucking Tony Robbins.
I'm Alistair Cook.
We legs are pipes.
We legs are pipes.
Right, let's get out of here.
We'll be back on Thursday for more of this nonsense.
If you've got any interesting information you want to share with us,
it's hello at lukeandpetecher.com if you've got any interesting information you want to share with us it's

lukeandpetecher.com
