Lukey Moore on this beautiful Thursday every single Thursday we talk about things you want us to talk about and lots of things we found on the internet

and precious little more work than that is done to be honest and it's autumn isn't it now so it's starting to get a little bit windy

it is autumn days when the grass is jewelled and the silken side a chestnut shell and I've been blown off my bike probably about 15 times

since I last spoke to you almost even like your what like those big lime bikes they're heavy aren't they how do you toss yourself off there

they're not that heavy compared to a Santander bike fine but they're two heavy bikes and with me on it as well because I lift out of a canal why why are you getting blown off?

Where are you riding? I ride home from here. Ride home from here? Where do you think I'm riding? Yeah, but like, where is there so much... I'm doing my own fucking like Tour de France,

aren't I? Well, it sounds like you're going on like a really high building or something. It's eight miles from here. Right. Gotta go across the river.

And you say you don't work out. It's an e-bike. It's an e-bike. Yeah, but the battery only lasts. Have you ever sort of like started with battery in the charge and then the bike's run out of battery? I try and limit it to having a bike that's no lower than three lime segments on the energy chart.

Because it's annoying otherwise. Because South London's quite hilly. So where I live, I'm on a hill. You need the e. If I run out of energy before the hill, it's big trouble. Yeah. It's electric doping. It's mechanical doping.

It's mechanical doping. It is essentially that, yeah. And listen, occasionally it's windy. That's all I'm saying. I want to follow up with you, Peter, on something that I mentioned, I believe last week, not last show, but the show before that, about the disappointing time capsule. Yes, okay.

Yeah, yeah. They opened a time capsule in america and it was just full of dust yeah so 200 years old from west point the military academy in new york state storage agreements were not fulfilled no they weren't but the plot has thickened because although the guy um was embarrassed that there was nothing in it other than silt when they took it away and went through it properly, they found six silver American coins dating from 1795 to 1828 and a commemorative medal.

So it was a 1795 five-cent coin, an 1800 Liberty dollar, an 1818 25-cent coin, a 10-cent and a one-cent coin from 1827 and an 1818 25 cent coin, a 10 cent and a 1 cent coin from 1827 and an 1828 50 cent coin. And there was an Erie Canal commemorative medal dating from 1826. I just

wonder if it's a coincidence that he actually found these behind the scenes when everyone wasn't looking. Yeah, so I thought he opened it in front of everybody, assembled a throng in the world's press yeah and then emptied out

and there was just a load of dust in there yeah but I think they just went through it the dust they went through the dust yeah look I'm only reporting it

as it's been reported it sounds like you're right it sounds like absolute shit sounds like he's just had a load of coin like you know in

Shawshank Redemption where he's he's digging a tunnel yeah and he's dropping the little dust out of his pocket down his trouser leg do you reckon he did that I Redemption where he's digging a tunnel and he's dropping the little dust out of his pocket down his trouser leg.

Do you reckon he did that? I reckon so. Because he's like, yeah, he's in a situation where he feels like he's letting people down. He wants that buzz back. He wants the kind of

like the world's press hanging off his every word again. So he's like, oh, look at our phone. I reckon he'll find another time capsule at some point. It'll just be like he's made it himself. I love that in five years time he's like oh look what I found I reckon he'll find another time capsule at some point it'll just be like

he's made it himself I love that he's still just saying guess what I found not again Paul Paul not again what are you doing

what's his name Paul I don't know Paul's always my go to name when I'm coming up with a name yeah is that right Paul

and Sarah goes you always use Paul I don't know why I just always do I don't know why you use I don't know really why can't we think of a name other than Paul like do you know when and I was going I don't know why I just always do I don't know really why can't we think of a name other than Paul

like do you know when someone I was thinking what's the name Simon Paul Simon I can't get away from Paul for crying out loud when you have

it's a curious part of human nature that when you have an unlimited choice of things you can't think of anything yes so when like Spotify came along

you were like on paper you were like oh my god I can listen to any record I want you open it up you can't think of what you Yes. So when Spotify came along, you were like, on paper, you were like, oh my God, I can listen to any record I want. You open it up, you can't think of what you want to listen to. That's why I think, you know,

we talk about this, well, curation will be key in the future because you've got the entire, I think if you go on like YouTube or go on like, if you said, go on YouTube,

Pete, look at something that you like and I'd need my algorithm to suggest something to me because it's like watching, it's like choosing something to watch on Netflix, isn't it? Yeah, it's hard. We've spent so many times,

and it's like an old kind of joke, I guess, but we spend so much time just sort of like looking at the menu, looking at the what-a-villain. Well, what I've had to do now, if I'm in a situation where I think, okay, I'm going to make myself some lunch and I'm going to watch something on telly, Netflix or whatever, I'd now have to work out what I'm going to watch something on telly Netflix or whatever I'd now have to

work out what I'm going to do first get it queued up and then otherwise I finish my lunch without actually selecting anything yeah yeah yeah

another example of that was Jack Dean of Jack's Happy Hour a friend a friend and former colleague he used to do this thing on his YouTube channel and he had me on it

as a guest where he talked about the fandom of support in the club that you support yeah and obviously I talked about Portsmouth and the final thing he did was

he said you've got a minute to name as many Portsmouth players as you can can't do it yeah impossible yeah the record was something like for him

of all his guests the record was like eight people yeah it's mad isn't it it's fucking impossible it's so hard because there's so much

to choose from you end up being completely paralysed by the choice. I did one, like a spicy wing copy thing from, I think one of Jack Smith's on video, and I forgot Alan Shearer. Exactly. It's mad, isn't it?

It's mad what your brain does. It happens. Can I just also bring into the conversational table, as it were, one of the stories I found most interesting, probably of the year actually right um have you seen um there scientists and in brazil have discovered the world's first dog fox hybrid yeah now how's this happened it's it's an incredible thing so basically um an animal rescue team was dispatched to reports of an injured animal yeah in a park reserve i forget where it is and it was a hit and run incident right and the creature the animal was pretty badly injured and

and the environmental um people screaming don't look at me transfer her transferred it to a vet i'm a freak! And the vets went and looked after it, right? And it got moved, they didn't actually know what it was. So they moved it to the Centre for Conservation

and Rehabilitation of Wild Animals. And then these kind of scientists started to take an interest and go, okay, right, this is interesting. It looks like a fox,

but it behaves like a dog. It dances like a dog. And they did a load of tests on it and it turned out to be a dog fox yeah that's absolutely insane

isn't it I didn't even know that was possible did you we've got like I just don't understand why this hasn't happened before

does that make sense because what do you think because they should come into contact with each other a lot more often yeah I mean like our dogs could come into contact with a fox at any moment.

Who's to stop one of them having a go? But there's certain species that can cross over, but they have a very, very low success rate in terms of fertility and stuff. So maybe it's something to do with that. But the way that it was talked about in this paper, it just seemed to be like, we just don't see this very often. I just don't understand why we wouldn't see more,

or why we haven't heard about it a bit more. And sadly, it died. The Z-donk died. What, from the car? They don't know how it died. It's not been reported. But yes, they're very disappointed about that because they wanted to study it.

Just make another one. If you know how it's been made just make another one. It might be only a very certain species of dog can cross with. They seem to know what it is and how

it came to be so let's make another one. I want to look at it more. I think you should start doing your own stuff. Don't be honest with

me Kevin. You've got a couple of dogs. I've got a couple of dogs. Access to a fox. Access to a fox. I've always had

access to foxes. Yeah. I saw my cat in the garden once being completely indifferent to a fox? Access to a fox. Got always access to foxes. Yeah. Yeah. I saw my cat in the garden once being completely indifferent to a fox, and I was like, okay, so they're not that bothered about each other. And then about a week later, one of them got attacked. Oh, right, yeah. Got an abscess, had to go to the vet. Cost me a lot of money.

But the dog-fox hybrid is interesting because you never hear of new mammals, really. Whenever there's a new species being talked about, it's very, very rarely, if ever, a mammal there's a new species being talked about it's very very rarely if ever a mammal right what's the last one the bonobo boron nah it's not a bonobo

where was the last one isn't the most recent one that one in the Malaysian jungle there's a monkey I know it was a gibbon or a monkey yeah but you're talking

okay so let me clarify so you're talking about a very slight difference in an already existing species right they're all that though we've explored everything. There's no one's finding something with five legs.

There's no new thing to be found, truly. So you're right. The most recent one was a new species of monkey identified in the DR Congo. Right. And that was a couple of years ago, wasn't it? Yeah, I think so. No, about 10 years ago, maybe. Right. And then you get couple of years ago, wasn't it? Yeah, I think so. No, about 10 years ago maybe. And then you get

occasional new bats and stuff. But I'm talking about a whole new species. Right. In 2010 there was a newly identified leopard. Right, okay. It's still the same species though, isn't it? With a slight differential.

Yeah, exactly. So people aren't going to go, a leopard? I've never heard of that. They're going to go, oh right, it's a different type of leopard. It's like a Ford car, but it's just a different model. Alex Turner in it. Same Sashie. Sashie?

I seem to remember in somewhere like Borneo or Papua New Guinea or something, there was a brand new mammal discovered not a long ago. Right. It was like a little bear. Little lad. Yeah. Little lad. Little bear and it had a t-shirt on.

It said, fuck me, I'm a bear. So I'm not going anywhere near any foxes. But yeah, I just thought that was an interesting story. And yeah, so there we go. Did you want to do any stuff on the old NFTs, mate? Well, I would. Because we touched on it on the roundabout. Yeah, so last week we heard that the NFT market is absolutely,

the ass has fallen out of it. I think the gold rush is over for all the NFT guys. Was it actually a gold rush? Yeah, a lot of people made a lot of money off the old NFTs. How have they done that? Well, how have they done that? So they mint their own and then gold rush? Yeah, a lot of people made a lot of money off the old NFTs. How have they done that? Well, how have they done that? So they mint their own and then sell them? Yeah.

Will they trade them or what? Yeah, mint their own, sell them. Well, I mean, like, remember the first tweet of Jack Dorsey and all those kind of crazy ones? People made a lot of money. Paris Hilton was on one of the late night shows talking about hers. But it's just wealthy people who are already wealthy selling essentially kind of, not contraband,

but like access to their own shit. Yeah. And mugs are just buying them. Didn't Interpol do one with David Lynch? Right, okay. And then they got booed out the fucking building. And so I think they sacked it off in the end. So the report this week is that 95% of the market for NFTs is totally worthless.

Which isn't really ideal, is it? Well, I would say, yeah, if you kept hold of them, but if you sold them, well done you. You're done.

Yeah, and you've treated with the respect that it deserved. The one man I think who wins on this one is probably, who's that fella, Martin Shkreli

who had that Wu-Tang album? Yeah. Actually, that took him off him, didn't it, when he went to prison? Yeah, got a lot of his assets seized. But Wu-Tang Clan made a record, and they only printed one copy of it, and they sold it for a couple of million. But that's not an NFT, is it? No, but I'm just saying that out of the very idea of an NFT,

Shkreli and his Wu-Tang album, at least you could listen to the Wu-Tang album. Do you reckon he listened to it? Yeah. There's no diminishing in quality when you listen to a CD, is there? No, was it a CD? It was a CD album.

Yeah, he should be fine then, you're fine. But surely once you break that seal, imagine if it was them going, you fucking dickheads. 50 minutes of them going, Method Man going, fuck, you fucking idiot. A fall on his money, a soon pipe. Do you know what I find that is an interesting metaphor? Because Martin Shkreli is that farmer bro who everyone hated, right?

Right. And then we found some new, bigger idiots to hit. Yeah, exactly. But he was very much the kind of entry gateway drug into Elon Musk. Yeah. And he was a hated guy and he kind of reveled in the hatred

that he received because what he would do is he would take the patent for a drug and jack up the price and just make loads of money on other people's misery. He led into that, right?

And it's the sort of thing that so many companies and so many people do, but they don't generally look for the limelight. In fact, they want to stay out of the limelight. And the reason I think that Wu-Tang Clan record and his purchase of it is a perfect metaphor is because when you think about your greatest music memories, right? Yeah.

You're going to think about a number of different things, but you're probably going to think about when you were at a gig with some friends or with your wife, or you took your tremendously romantic moment with whoever, or you've got a record that everyone was really into and you loved it. I can remember when the Strokes record

came out in 2001, right? Changed the lives, our music lives, my and my friends. We used to, we couldn't wait to listen to it together and talk about how much we loved it and all get our own copy of it, right?

Martin Shkreli can't listen to this with anyone else unless they come to his house. And no one wants to come to it together and talk about how much we loved it and we'll get our own copy of it, right? Martin Shkreli can't listen to this with anyone else unless they come to his house. And no one wants to come to his house because they fucking hate him. So how's he getting any joy out of it? And I imagine he probably doesn't know whether it's good or bad. Do you know what I mean?

No idea. No. No idea. I think that... I think it's probably bad. The guy who's behind it, or was RZA, right, who's the guy behind most of the Wu-Tang stuff,

he's like the main guy. Right. I don't reckon you should have sold it to him. Well, I just said no. Fuck you, you're not having it. You don't deserve it. You don't deserve it.

Yeah, but he's the only person who wants to buy it. You know, he'll pay that amount of money. The tricky thing is that he probably could have gone after the biggest hip-hop fan in the world but they wouldn't have had

two million dollars. No, they would have bought violin records and their partners would be shouting at them to get the records out the house. Oh yeah, you've got money to spend on the record, have you? But you haven't fixed that thing in the delivery room. I imagine the biggest hip-hop collector in the world

is probably a 55-year-old white guy who lives in America somewhere with a hell of a trainer collection. Oh, massively. Massive trainer collection, loads of vinyl. Sneaky heads are a big deal, aren't they? Yes.

There's a lot of stuff going on. The trade in that, I mean, it gives me big Andy Brassel energy. He loves a trainer, doesn't he? My Nike Air Max or whatever the hell they were,

they're broken on the side. Yeah, but you only adopted the darkness. Brassel was born with it. I know, yeah. Well, I said, Brassel,

I need some trainers. What trainers should I get? And he recommended these guys these Nike Air Maxes they're very comfortable they're very comfortable how did you break them

I don't know I think this is how I put them on I need a shoehorn look I own many but they're all in different parts of the house can I interest you

in a pair of sketches have you seen the adverts I've got a built in shoehorn is that Jamie Renup kicking the ball over the sun so there's a new advert

where he says confusingly he just says why are you still using your hands to put your shoes on these shoes have got a built in shoe horn

built in shoe horn yeah just use them instead a lot of my dream car the Toyota Century it's not an expensive car

these days like a 90s Toyota Century it's got a shoe horn like built ins Toyota Century it's got a shoe horn like built in that's it it's got a built in shoe horn that's excellent

the Japanese always take their shoes off and put them on aren't they to get into places so shoe horns are big in Japanese shit get a lot of use

I remember when we stayed at a hotel once and we got a free shoe horn yeah I saw a man in Airbnb Sweden about 6 years ago uh the guy was showing us around his flat that he was renting us and he used like effortlessly used shoehorn to get shoes back on and i was like that is a money move and then we went home and bought

everyone was on the trip so you basically met a shoehorn influencer yeah yeah pretty much it was so cool luke he just popped the shoehorn in. He didn't need to sort of mess around with his, like, the backs of the trainer. Was it performative, though? No, he just did it. Just, you know. So what kind of guy was he, this shoehorn wizard?

Just a cool kind of, like, Swedish guy who just effortlessly put his shoe on. Was he like a proper, like, multi-millionaire tech bro? Minimalist house? It was a nice, clean Swedish house. It had a little sauna included and stuff, which was pretty cool. Just knocking about the shoehorn. That's very nice.

On that note, let's have a break. We can talk a bit more about Pete's shoehorn collection after this. All right. Go back to school with Rogers and get Canada's fastest and most reliable internet.

How many brands of shoe horns are there? We'll do batteries for now. You go ahead, Peter. Okie dokie. We've got one from a man by the name of Chris. Hello, Luke and Pete. On a recent holiday to a villa near the amusingly named Peniscola. Peniscola.

Peniscola. Peniscola. Yeah. Peniscola Peniscola Yeah North of Valencia I checked the batteries in the TV remote and hit the jackpot with two brands

in the remote I submit Teddy and Premier Super Alkaline for your consideration Keeps good work Teddy seemed like they would be a new player

Yeah Don't remember seeing them but you're the third person to send those in Chris Our friend Michael and Richard both sent those in in February.

What was the other one? Premio? Premio. Premio. Premio Super Alkaline. Okay. I'm sorry to say as well Chris that Dan and Jamie

have both sent in Premio Super Alkaline as early as January of 2022. So well over a year ago now. So nice effort. Yeah. But I'm afraid

it's no cigar. Better luck next time, Chris in Barcelona. Adam! I've had one previous submission, says Adam, and I was the second person to submit it, so hopefully I can go on better with these naughty boys and they can have a place in the battery daddy. Just like the previous battery submissions,

these have been found in Sotorius. Sotorius printers. I've never heard of them. Sotorius printers. Shall I give that a google see if there's anything anyway it's Recyco

so R-E big C Y-K-O so Recyclo Recyclo Recyclo yeah amazing find that

I mean he's also sitting on some golden powers but we're not always on time with those but Recyco are actually brand new players congratulations to you well done we've never seen those ones before never actually brand new players congratulations to you Adam

well done we've never seen those ones before and they've been submitted in so congratulations to you that is a new player in the battery daddy good stuff Adam a different Adam says Tinko ultra heavy duty from

that name I'm more certain that's been sent in before this green beauty was plucked from a wireless mouse at my place of work easily the best thing about my full day of training that day all the the best, gentlemen. Your friend Adam.

I don't know what bloody size that is. It looks like a triple A, but even smaller. Tiny little boy, isn't it? Yeah, tiny little lad. It's nowhere near a new player, I'm afraid. Oh, I'm so sorry. Eight people have sent this in before you, Adam. I'm stretching all the way back to November of 2017.

Oh, my goodness. Well done. So you're way wider than Mark, but thank you for trying to get involved anyway. It's much appreciated. Lovely stuff. Well, shall we crack through a couple of emails before we chip off on this show?

Absolutely. Smashing stuff. All right. Chris says, dear Luke and Pete, I thought I would throw my hat into the tallest listener competition. Nice. Did we even have that?

I can't even remember. I think we put it out there. We put it out there. I am six foot 7.5 inches. Normally I would mention the 0.5 inches, but for this I would. Who can tell that high? Who can tell if you're looking up at that height?

6 foot 7 and a half. Right. So that's good. I mean, how tall is Rory, Producer Rory? Producer Rory? How tall is Producer Rory? He's not there, is he? Is he not there?

Right. He's doing something else. Yeah. How tall is he? I would say 6'4". He's taller than that. Really? I'm 6'3". Are you? I think he's 6'6 would say 6'4 he's taller than that really I'm 6'3

are you I think he's 6'6 is 6'3 getting shorter these days maybe I'm not a strong catcher I haven't measured myself I reckon he's 6'5

I reckon he's 6'6 6'6 yeah that's like because Finn's taller than me right he's not as tall as Rory right

so he can't there's no room to manoeuvre there what a delicious little picture that would be you three I know it would be good you three. I know, it would be good. And you on the end.

Me on the end, yeah. Like a little boy. Me and Vish. I think that six, seven and a half from our friend Chris is a great opening gambit.

Not bad, not bad. He says the plus side of being so tall is gigs, the downside is a never ending tall person joke from people you've never met before. Yeah.

Like, how's the weather up there? Did your parents put you in a grow bag when you were a kid? They really do, they really do. They really do. People feel absolutely fine about talking like that when they wouldn't with wrist, let's say.

Yeah, well, do you know what's... Some people would. Do you know what's interesting? I think it's a bit of a weird equivalence anyway, Peter, but anyway, I find my direct experience of that is that if I see someone who's say really tall or here's a better example. You know when you see

a relative you haven't seen for ages and 10 years has passed or whatever and you know that it's a real cliche to say oh last time I saw you kind of thing. But you can't resist it. Yes right. Okay last time I saw you what that you... You were tiny

or you were at school or whatever. It's a really boring bit of chat and I hated being on the receiving end of it when I was younger. But now you're older, right? Yeah.

But do you understand what I mean? Yeah. I think you could use that as a starting point for your small talk improvement. What, as in sort of say to somebody you were shorter,

younger? No, first... But what if they haven't grown in any way? What I want you to do is I want you to get into a thought process where I want you, when you see someone you haven't seen for a while, try to alleviate the awkwardness

by thinking in your mind what happened the last time I saw that person. And reference that. And then you're up and running. Now for me... Give me any person and I'll tell you what happened last time I saw them. Well, I think this is very much an entry-level thing. For me, I would be embarrassed to do that at Small Talk,

because I'm much better than you at Small Talk. Okay. But this is a first-portion. Nice entry-level thing, right? Okay. So, okay, so what about the last time... So say, okay, I want to bring someone in that we both know. Right.

Right. Think, so, okay, what about Marcus? Marcus. So think in your mind... Yeah. Something that happened the last time you saw Marcus. Now I'm going to do a kind of role play. I'm Marcus, I'm walking in. Are you ready to go? Here we go, Pete.

Pete, how are you doing? Marcus, last time I spoke to you, it was on the WhatsApp, and I was criticising your law and servitude of Jesus Christ. No, it's not going to work. First of all, WhatsApp. It doesn't count. Secondly, don't be hateful towards someone's religion. I wasn't.

I was just saying that we didn't need Scampi, two Scampis on the boat. Didn't need two Scampis. You did actually say that, to be fair. Yeah. That was good material. That's why I'm repeating it now. Let's try someone else.

Okay. What about the next time you see someone who's like an ex-colleague of ours? What about the next time... What about the next time you bump into your ex-girlfriend Lauren?

Give me five seconds to think about it. This could be awkward. It's a very difficult situation because they're an ex-girlfriend. Last time you saw them, a little bit of common ground, nice bit of entry Give you five seconds to think about it. This could be awkward. It's a very difficult situation because they're an ex-girlfriend. It could be very awkward. So last time you saw them, a little bit of common ground. Nice bit of entry level kind of small talk chat. Hi Pete. Good to see you. How you doing?

Go. Last time I saw you. First of all, say hello. Oh, sorry. Hello. Speak normally and then get into the... Hello. Right.

So hi Pete. How you doing? We used to be together if i'm doing this as a self-help film giving you your money back we used to be together last time sounds like a question last time so the way it's supposed to go is like this so conjoined so you're supposed to go like this how you doing?

it's great to see you yeah you look really well what if it isn't? you've got a line that's what small talks about line great to see you

you look really well last time I saw you do you remember we were in that pub? yeah and we had those shots and I felt terrible the next day and you're away okay

don't go last time don't go not say hello last time I saw you. We were together. So I, so I say to her

about the shots. If that's what happened. Right. Shall I just mention the shots anyway? So if I saw, I've had a shot before. If I saw Lauren,

who I also know, I would probably say, do you know what I'd say? Because I was going to bring this into the second phase, but you're not quite there yet. I was going to say, last time I probably, but you're not quite there yet. I was going to say, last time I probably saw you, Lauren,

it's probably at some event in the pub and we're probably getting pissed and that doesn't happen anymore. Probably. That's your memory. Probably. Yeah. And that doesn't happen anymore. And then I would say, do you know what I'd say? It's vaguer than mine. Do you know what I'd say? Because I take an interest in other people, do you know what I'd say? Right. I see you living in the Caribbean now. It looks fucking great. How's that working

out for you? Yeah. And she'd be like she'd be like oh brilliant yeah you're taking an interest in me yeah and i'm happy to have a chat about it so you've got to want to take an interest in other people is what i'm saying all right so what's the problem yeah i'm clearly too egotistical to do that that's why i find small talk uh do you reckon that's what it is probably i can only imagine it's i think you're just a little bit lacking of confidence could you could you spend a lot of time looking at people's stories on Instagram? Oh, yeah, that's a good point, actually, yeah. You could use that, couldn't you?

The problem is, though, everyone's seen those, so the material's already been used. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but I think you're overthinking that. I think if you can drop, a little tip for this, I don't mean this in a psycho way, if you can drop one piece of information into people

that you've learnt about them, it makes them think that you're really taking an interest in their life. All right, let's have a look then. All right,
