battle for the planets of the luke and pete show a new episode is in your pod box i hope your ears devour it with gusto. And the ear tongue enjoys every last morsel. It's good. I was expecting you to lose momentum. No. I thought that's a bombastic start. There's no way you can keep this up. I've not spoken over a bed for a little while. I've not done radio, so I'm kind of missing it.

I'm quite enjoying the space it allows. It's not the point that you're missing it. Are the public missing it? Well, we'll stay on rage our day, won't we? We will. Can you break in under cloak of darkness and check out the text console, see if people are asking for you?

Where's Pete? Pete, I'm still part of the email system, I've noticed. Are you? Because when the coronavirus outbreak obviously happened and continues to happen, there was an email that went around saying, just be careful, guys, you know, wash your hands, bit of alcohol gel here and there will not hurt.

And one of my colleagues, my ex-colleagues, wrote, since Japan, China, Taiwan, all of these places are out of action when it comes to going on holiday, I worry for Pete Donaldson's holidays. And I replied to him. I said, I'm still on the email, Brendan. Oh, you shouldn't have. Cheeky.

You should have left it and see how mean I was. How vicious it could get. But also, you shouldn't have. Cheeky. You should have left it and seen how vicious it could get. But also, you should have replied all with you drinking a tub of alcohol gel saying,

mmm, delicious. I'm having a nice time, thank you. I'm always on the alcohol gel. I did have a photograph of me in Japan with a

surgical mask on but I thought that was in bad taste. Yeah. Because people are literally dying. Yeah, and bloody snowflakes. Bloody snowfl in bad taste yeah because people are literally dying yeah and bloody snowflakes

bloody snowflakes what the people are dying no people who are upset would be upset about a photo of you dressed in that muscle top you're wearing today

with a coronavirus shield mask on it looks like I've gone very badly my body's gone very badly my skin's fallen off when he says muscle top

it's a t-shirt that has muscles printed on it yeah like a like a picture you'd see in some kind of

I'm going to say the late 80s slash early 90s wrestler John Gonzalez yeah a little bit of that but without the hair without the hair around the

around the nethers but no I'm not wearing like a kind of a midlife crisis muscle top speaking of that speaking of midlife crisis, how was your weekend?

It was all right. What did I do? Friday, I went for a drink with a friend whose birthday it was. And then Saturday, I went to see Crystal Palace versus Newcastle United. And I drank a lot of red wine. Why red wine? Because I'm so fancy. In a stadium?

Red wine is quite a touch at a football match. Do they even sell it? Absolutely sink it. Are you in the executive box? I was in a nice area wine's quite a quite a touch at a football match do they even sell it absolutely sink it are you in the you in the executive box I was in I was in a nice area okay right

Mick McCarthy was there Mick McCarthy oh nice he's very tall and I thought yes of course he's very tall you expect him to be small well you expect

old gentlemen to just shrink but you can't shrink that much if you're Mick McCarthy that would be insane they do yeah people do start the show I think it's because apparently evolutionary speaking,

the spine is only designed is only sort of around generally for like 35 years or something. Most of human life. Are we going to replace it at any moment? I'm already curving. My neck hurts constantly.

Yeah, you had a problem. Is it to do with your constipation? No, but if you want to link it to that, it could be. Maybe some of my spine has been taken up with compacted poopies. Well, the reason I say that is because you are famously, largely thanks to me, famously constipated.

And I saw an article which said there was a guy who had been admitted into A&E or the doctor's surgery or whatever because he had problems with his left leg and it turned out it was because he was constipated. So I wondered if it was linked to your neck because you just woke up one morning and your neck was fucked. Yeah, the worst blues song ever.

Woke up one morning. I had a dry neck and I thought my head was going to fall off my shoulders. But this time around when it happened last week, I wasn't as worried. Because heads are heavy, aren't they? Heads, heavy as the head. Where's the Donny brain? It's full of nonsense.

But yeah, I went via Uber over a lot of speed bumps, screaming every time. That's a pain. Oh! Do you know something? Last week, I had to get an Uber back from somewhere because it was late. Was your head falling off?

Don't think so. No, it wasn't. My head is massive as well. Very heavy. There's a lot of heavy lifting doing this neck here. Your Luke is obsessed with people's heads size. If we ever go for a meeting with someone, he's always sizing up the person we're meeting's head.

It's lucky for me because you have got a normal size head. So there's no problem with it. I can't figure out whether I've got a pinhead or a big head. It's normal. Is it? Yeah, I think it's normal. Trust me, I've spent a lot of time looking at the size of people's heads. Anyway, I was in this Uber, and it was about an hour.

And I know this makes me sound like a delicate flower and all the rest of it, but I was so sick when I got out. I just felt terrible. Speed bumps, stopping and starting, hot. Were you looking at your phone, though? I was trying to avoid it. I was trying to avoid it. If I'm in a rush and I'm a bit tired

or I've not eaten or I've eaten too much looking at my phone makes me incredibly car sick. It's weird. You've got to be in the right frame of mind for a car journey.

An Uber's always like a last minute got to get somewhere really, really quick kind of situation. I got from here to City Airport in about half an hour

when I had to go. Incredible. Incredible driving from the man. Yeah. Do you remember I told the story that I had to put really incredible incredible driving from the man yeah do you remember I told the story that I had to put

that suit in an Uber yes you did and that guy I thought to myself is it worth him losing his licence for this yes actually

yeah for me it is because it's really important but obviously nothing happens I'd love to hear any crazy stories

from Uber drivers if anybody listens to good shout if anybody listens to the Luke and Pete show while they're driving around in an Uber hello to the passenger

anywhere in the world there is a £50 soiling charge yeah this Uber is fully licensed and he ain't gonna touch you I don't think anyone I don't think anyone's gonna be so stupid

given how Uber drivers are so protective over their ratings I don't think anyone's gonna be so so stupid, given how Uber drivers are so protective over their ratings. I don't think anyone's going to be so stupid as to put the Luke and Pete show in the fucking Uber. I mean, that is a low percentage move. There's a chance they'll fucking love it, but there's a much bigger chance they are going to give you one star. Would you like to put your own music on, sir? Yes, the Luke and Pete show.

Give us the aux cable, bitch. Yeah, I want that Doc Brown sample on Luke. would you like to put your own music on sir yes give us the arx cable bitch yeah I want that Doc Brown sample on loop and by the way Pete I went to see the Tutankhamen exhibition

yesterday oh you were giving it the big licks last week you were really excited like a little boy it's good little spooky boy

who likes Egyptian things it was really interesting was his death mask there no doesn't go out of Cairo apparently fuck's sake there's loads of good stuff

I would not send anything to London because we'll steal it like Elgin Marbles. Do you know what it made me think of? It made me think of... This is a bit morbid, but if someone in your family dies or someone you're close to dies, there's a lot of admin, right?

Between their sad demise and the funeral, particularly, there's a lot of admin. That's why I think the funeral kind of is, obviously it's a cathartic thing for a number of reasons. But a lot of it is that, right, okay, now it's happened. Because it doesn't feel like it's happened until you get through all the admin.

And I was just thinking when I was walking around that Tutankhamen exhibition, I mean, he was buried in like three different rooms, like a big mausoleum tomb, full of stuff. And I just thought to myself, what about the people who've had to do all the stuff to help him in the afterlife? Do you know what I mean?

So guess what? I mean, this is the scenario. So I'm the king's emissary or whatever, and I come to you and you're the best, I don't know, chair maker in Egypt. And I say, by the way, bad news, king's dead. What's his name the Pharaoh's dead because news will travel slowly then

because it's three and a half thousand years ago some papyrus yeah probably King's dead and he's going to have to show a load of kind of grief outwardly because he's going to be sad

that the boy king at the age of 19 has died unexpectedly but then he's thinking fucking hell I've got to make five different gold fucking chairs now you know, the boy king at the age of 19 has died, unexpectedly. But then he's thinking, fucking hell, I've got to make five different gold fucking chairs now, and all they're going to do is stuck in the ground.

Look, this is exactly why sofa makers piss me off. When they sell you a sofa, that sofa doesn't exist in the world, and it really grinds my gears that you've got to wait four months for them to make the fucking thing that you've ordered. Shouldn't be selling it. Shouldn't be selling it unless you own it.

Unbelievable. So he's only got himself to blame in that particular situation. Friend of small businesses big time. You should be making a hundred of them

and they give a shit if you sell them or not. Yeah, I just like the idea. Don't just wait until somebody needs one. It's like when you go at Dixie Chicken on Kentonish Town High Street.

It wasn't even Dixie Chicken, was it? It was Sam's Chicken Chicken. Not there anymore. But they wouldn't cook the chips until you asked for them. The chicken would be ready, but then you go, can I have some chips with them? Some fries? Make them all ready. You're always going to sell

fries, mate. And no one's going to complain that they're old fries. Just stick them under the heater. Most people are pissed. Exactly. I'm in Sam's are pissed exactly I'm not a I'm in Sam's Chicken chicken I'm not a discerning consumer of food

so just have them ready so I don't have to wait for you to fry some new red hot bloody chips but if you were I mean even even people know

that you're not even a fetishiser of food anyway so you'll just chuck anything down your gob I'll give you a quick restaurant review go on Mr G's Chicken

on Old Cotton Street over the road from my Old Cotton Street over the road from my house actually not over the road from my house yeah disgusting

if my mam went to Heron Hall Foods or Iceland and made her own chicken shop Taiwanese style I'm putting in

massive inverted finger commas that's what it would taste like gross but they're not but people they just want people

walking past pissed, don't they? So get in here. No, they've got the design, they've got all of like the kanji on the wall, it looks cool

and then I had what could only be described as some, it looked like, it was like Iceland food. It was like, not that Iceland food is terrible,

but like really cheap chicken nuggets that they've put a bit of seasoning on the top of awful that's why mum's gone to Iceland yeah that's not great

I mean I'm glad because that would cause me a problem if there was a delicious chicken shop over the road from me a chicken shop

me and G kind of the only thing that Tutankhamen didn't fucking have in his tomb so what else did they have going back to the thing you mentioned

the idea was so they died they believed the ancient Egyptians that idea was so they died they believed the ancient Egyptians that people died twice they died once when they physically died and then died again

when the last person spoke their name and during the death process they had to go through the nether world to get to paradise so the idea was you bury

particularly someone of importance like a pharaoh with all this stuff to help him in the afterlife so it's kind of these little so you're not starting from zero no you of importance like a pharaoh with all this stuff to help him in the afterlife so it's kind of these little so you're not starting from zero no

you don't want a pharaoh to rock up in the afterlife nothing on have to like no weapon you know bob a job you know but spy for a bit

and make his way again no and the problem is like we've been invaded where's all the weapons they're in the fucking tomb we can't dig them out again

because that would be disrespectful. Didn't they chuck a lot of cats in there as well? Wasn't that a thing? They loved cats. They loved mummy-fying cats. They flung a couple of them in. That wasn't included in the exhibition. Maybe they thought that was a poor taste.

But one thing that is absolutely remarkable, and I'm sure many people know the story of Howard Carter and the discovery of the tomb like 100 years ago or whatever. I think it was around 100 years ago. I'm fairly certain that's why that exhibition is there. On its world tour, U2 style. Yeah.

The condition of it is unbelievable. So it's been buried, obviously, and it's been discovered 100 years ago. Honestly, some of the stuff in there, which is made of wood, it's not made of a really hard-wearing metal or anything the stuff in there, which is made of wood, it's not made of like a really hard-wearing metal or anything on all of it. It's made of wood

and it's gilded with like gold leaf or whatever. It looks, Pete, honestly, if I put it in front of you now, it looks like... You'd think it was like a chair that you'd buy in like a shabby,

shabby chic. But it's not even shabby chic, it looks perfect. Right. You could have thought it was made yesterday. It's incredible, the detail.

And the ornate kind of jewellery. It is amazing. And the thing is, I find, you can make an argument, it's the most beautiful thing ever been discovered. It's certainly the most important archaeological discovery ever. And it's priceless, right? I mean, the only person you could sell that to if you came into possession of it

is some kind of criminal gang, presumably. Because no one's going to buy it off you. Oh yeah, give me a million quid. What is it? It's this from the two in common. I can't fucking buy that. Because if I display it at any point, I'm just going to get fucking arrested.

Well, yeah, exactly. It's amazing. I wonder how much stuff went missing because I reckon he definitely... He's dead now, so what I like about him. I reckon he definitely went... Down to the curse.

We found 5300 5100 priceless artefacts what's in that bag that's my lunch mate if you if you discover it you're allowed to take a

you know pull an eagle's head off the eagle it was funded by it was funded by like a wealthy aristocrat who I think was in charge of the whole thing

so I'm pretty sure that he had good good kind of control over the whole thing probably want to know if there was any aristocats in there yeah

all mummified and that that's really great but is O'Malley the alley cat in there do you know the names of the alley cats that's the only one I know it's from the song

it's from the song it used to fascinate me when I was a kid. It was one of the things that my teachers always said about me. I was obsessed with ancient Egypt, which is really weird. That's a cool thing, though. The boy king. But I was obsessed with the fact that I think I just like traps.

Right. Yeah, where you go into the pyramid and then you'd find yourself in a chamber that was the wrong chamber. And you're dead. That's the end of you. That's the end of you that's the end of you mate Indiana Jones style do you find a lot of

your knowledge of ancient Egypt comes from the Tomb Raider Brendan Fraser vehicle the mummy I've never seen that oh really

but I wish Brendan Fraser I know Brendan Fraser needs to come back soon and he probably will have a bit of a career renaissance but I do miss him a

little bit because I've never seen any films he's been in but I always just like having him around yeah he seems quite he's quite a comforting presence

nice big grin big pearly fella yeah in a different world I think he's doing now what The Rock was doing what do you mean The Rock's massive now

yeah in another world I feel like another sort of parallel universe that could have been Brendan Fraser well he was in a film

with The Rock wasn't he that's what I'm saying their paths have diverged haven't they and in The Mummy, the mummy that comes back, he's looking for Anxanamun, isn't he? And I think that is the name

of the real-life wife to Tutankhamun. Ah. Does she live a long and full life? What did Tutankhamun die of? They don't know. They're not sure. He died at 19. He ascended to the throne at nine,

died at 19. There was talk for a while that it was a blow to the head. Right. But that was proven to have happened after he died at 19 he ascended to the throne at 9 died at 19 there was talk for a while that it was a blow to the head right but that was proven to have happened after he died probably when they're moving him around or whatever

clumsy that's the Viking you got one job yeah yeah and they had two stillborn children who were buried and mummified with him

right I'm not sure what happened to his wife the question was how did he die I don't know I think it might have been to his wife the question was how did he die I don't know I think it might have been interestingly there was

this is fucking brilliant by the way I forgot to say this wasn't mentioned I was looking out for that because that's the only thing I remember from school but one thing I found absolutely fascinating is that so if you've heard, everyone's heard of this but just to check that you have as well

the curse of the tomb. So the idea that all these people died and all this shit happened, right? Love this, right? That was made up when it was discovered by guess who?

Ooh. The Archduke Franz Ferdinand. No, what do you mean? No, he was dead by then. Yeah, okay. The fucking Daily Mail. Really?

They made it up. Howard Carter died by an infected... Oh, no. Lord Carnarvon died by an infected mosquito bite. Right. And Howard Carter died of cancer quite a long time later. Right.

But they... Curse. They jumped onto Carnarvon and said, oh, yeah, this is a curse. This has happened. That's happened. All this stuff. It was completely made up. Do you reckon they invented the curse of Strictly as well? They probably did. this is the curse, this has happened, that's happened, all this stuff. It was completely made up.

I reckon they invented the curse of Strictly as well. They probably did. What is the curse of Strictly? Oh, they keep fucking each other. That's not the curse, is it? People just want to have sex with each other.

Yeah, I know, but to give it a name, they gave it a name so they invented the curse of Strictly, et cetera. What is your favourite curse? Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com Tell us your favourite curse.

Is there another one you can think of? What? I forgot the word fuck. What's that got to do with it? Curse. Oh, okay. Get with it.

I don't mean the swears. I don't mean the swears. Speaking of Poindexter, you called a child a Poindexter this morning. I always call Michael Cox of Zona Market a Poindexter as well.

Do you know what Poindexter is? It's like a geek kid in a nerd. I called a kid a poindexter as well. Do you know what a poindexter is? No, it's like a geek kid. Yeah, nerd. I called a kid a poindexter because someone shared a story to me that a kid was volunteering at the local police station washing police cars for free. Get the fuck out of it.

If that's not a scam, get the fuck out of it. If it is a scam, good on you. Because that is good ambition for a young kid. I mean, what is going on? If my kid said that to me, I'd have to sit down with him and say, look, come on. I'm going to need to look at that laptop, buddy. You can be community-spirited, wash normal people's cars. Normal people?

You're saying police people aren't normal. One of my closest friends is a police officer. Cool. And if he was in here now, he would say himself, I'm Art Normal. Wrong. I'm going to find his Western Digital.

They do an amazingly important job, but I just don't think a kid needs to be spending his time doing that. Do extra homework or something.

That's going to stand you in better stead. Do extra homework. Isn't it? You're a Poindexter now. I am. All right, let's have a break

and after the day we come back, we'll do some of your emails and your homework. Oh, love your job. Hey, he looks just like you, Poindexter.

and he says take the standing eight count and then get up. There are some wrestling terms I haven't got a bloody clue oh we should do a bit of the boxing actually remember we did that on Thursday oh yeah the punchings

punchings happen did he do what's his who's the guy should we do it now because Thursday will be too late the Gypsy King

what's his name Tyson Fury did he choose at one point to use the one Anthony Joshua punch oh he should have

maybe he did that's how he won he was bestowed upon him with one Anthony Joshua punch. Oh, he should have. Maybe he did. That's how he won. He was bestowed upon him with one Anthony Joshua punch. But I'm saving this. Did you see that guy on LinkedIn? It was claiming me. Yeah, that was great.

Claiming Tyson Fury. I took Tyson Fury aside three years ago and said, look, your hand's as big as my head. You can do this. You can do this. Get on the comeback trail. He lost 10 stone and went on the comeback trail.

I love it. It's amazing. I love broken trail. I love it. It's amazing. I love broken men. I love weird men. Well, that's obvious why. Yeah. Can I just say also, your continued ability to forget the name of the world's most famous people is amazing. So I know.

Yeah, but I've always got something to link into it. And it's a little puzzle for you and the listeners. I know. I can understand why you'd forget the name of, you know, some obscure athlete or politician from back in the day. Tyson Fury has probably been the most famous person in the world over the last 48 hours. Yeah, I'd take that. I just don't care

enough. No, you don't. It was amazing. Linus Tech Tips, I can tell you what they reviewed yesterday. Go on. What did they review yesterday? Tech Tips? They reviewed an unbreakable television recently. I watched that one. They told me... What do they mean by that?

So you could just chuck it on the floor and it wouldn't break? Yeah, you could give it a good old booting. Yeah. And I quite like the fact that they've got a Chinese kid in the... It's a big studio that's in Canada that employs 30, 40 people. And all they do is just make tech YouTube every single day. Tech, tech, tech, tech, tech. Is that your dream job?

No, it was quite stressful, actually. It's three or four videos released every day on different channels. They are a behemoth. How do they get their hands on the tech? Well, they order weird tech from Alibaba and also like Wistock, like weird kind of like Chinese providers and stuff. They've got hookups all around the world and

they just keep on reviewing weird smartphones, weird tellies, weird computers. They do little projects that they try and overclock or water cool things that shouldn't be water cooled. They water cooled a mobile phone or rather used some kind of technology to cool a mobile phone to improve its performance and it really did work very well um so i watch all this stuff uh but i

really like this chinese uh kid who just gets brought in to read the chinese on the side of everything because obviously everything is because of china if you're buying a bit hooky of you you're buying a version that only came out in china yeah this kid just comes in and goes yeah it's just telly yeah that that's just says television. Oh, really? He always goes, yeah, that just says television. He's a full-time translator. And I was like, just learn the kanji for television, mate.

Yeah, you should know that by now. You should know that by now. You review tellies every single day. You know what television looks like. Yeah, I mean, I can't speak Italian, but I know what ciao means.

Oh, yeah, yeah. So where were you going with that? I'm just saying that's the part of my brain dedicated to... You said, do you want to know what they've been up to? A groundbreaking telly, what happened? Oh, they kicked it, they punched it, and it was fine. Absolutely fine. It's exactly as you'd expect.

It's exactly as you'd expect, but it was quite an interesting little project, just seeing people karate kick tellies. It's lovely. It really is rather lovely. You're going to have to do a couple of emails. I'll do them now. I've been locked out of...

I've got a user recovery email address on my mobile phone. I'll do the emails, no problem. You can get them ready for the next time. This is one from... I think his name's Dre, which is a great name. D-R-A-Y. Lovely. It's about old man names.

He says, Hi, guys. I moved to Ireland five years ago when I was 12. When I arrived, I met many Johns, Kevins, Pauls, Barrys and Marks, all with the age range of 9 to 13, meaning they're all no older than 18 today. Dre from Bantry. So we said you wouldn't find young people named those names. Right.

What were the names again? Pile Foo? John? John's a bit of an evergreen name, I would say. Kevin? Less so. Baby Kevin's funny.

Paul? Baby Paul is funny. Why are these all funny? That's weird, isn't it? Is it because we've grown up with these names? So grown up people have names like Paul and Kevin and Steve

and Luke and me. There's going to be a time. Baby Luke's funny. There's going to be a time where these names come around again and we're going to feel old or find it funny

maybe it's happening but I don't agree with you on John I think if you if someone says I had a baby really pleased

mother and baby doing well etc etc John was born I mean is it just like a church thing? Like we were kind of obviously... Well, they're biblical names.

John and Paul are biblical names. John, Paul, all those ones, like they're kind of... Then is it just because we just think about the cross less? We're just less...

One of them is Barry. Driven by it. Barry is not... Barry the baby's... It's not right, is it? It's not right. Do you want to come over? Are you coming over? Bring Barry. Barry should not be a baby it's not right is it it's not right do you want to come you coming over

bring Barry Barry should not be a baby in that situation Barry sounds like a car or a hoover should be a fucking dog Barry the dog's a good name anyway so

apparently in Ireland they're all the rage apparently 18 years ago so 2002 people were still naming their babies John, Kevin, Paul, Barry

and or Mark Barry yeah that's Mark the baby sounds like an instruction We're still naming their babies John, Kevin, Paul, Barry and or Mark. Barry. Mark the baby. Sounds like an instruction. Mark the baby. I don't want to get it mixed up with the other babies. Yeah.

This is a good email from regular email James Tortoise. He says, hi guys, I'm a couple of episodes behind. So apologies if you've heard this, but I've just heard the Buck Bumble episode from a few weeks back from a buck bumble it's a wicked grime soundtrack to an n64 game okay it's really good uh he says it reminded me of this classic arguably the first proper grime track from way back in 1994 this is the theme tune pete to the super nintendo snes game snes game the Super Nintendo SNES game, Wolverine Adamantium Rage. Are you familiar with the game? I know his bones are made of adamantium, or it's grafted onto his bones anyway.

Why he'd be in a rage, I don't know, but let's find out. He looks very angry on the cover. Listen to this. That sample's horrible, isn't it? Yeah! You can imagine it, isn't it? Yeah. You can imagine it, can't you? Yeah.

Give us some bass drum. Come on. There we go. Oh. Good, right? This is like every UK garage night in Leicester in the late 90s. Yeah.

It's on the darker side of... It's scary, isn't it? It's quite drill. 1994, this. This is cool. If you heard this on the radio now... Well, if you just ran that MIDI, I mean, you could probably get that MIDI

transformed into something better, that sounded better. I'd love to hear an updated version of that. If there are any grime artists listening, don't sleep on this. Give us the casualty theme on the top of it. Yeah.

Lovely old job. Amazing, right? That is a banger. I usually don't like old video game music, but that is a banger. Really good song. I think that

it's one of those ones where sometimes you'll hear a song that's released five years ago and you think, oh, that sounds old. Yeah. And sometimes you hear a song

that in this case is released, what, 25, 26 years ago and it still sounds fresh fresh um here we go here's another here's a listener um who i mean i give as i said to some some of our listeners already before i do a little bold sentence pricey on top of all the emails just so i know what they're about so i know what's coming up it's obviously the night before i go through them um and um this the sentence i wrote last night for this email is a listener we have undoubtedly offended whose son's name is john oh no hi boys big fan i have a 22 month old called john he goes by johnny which works better yeah for a toddler he is named after his grandfather who was himself named after his uncle, so the lineage

played a part, especially in our Greek family where naming after a grandparent is common and a sign of respect. Admit it is a bit weird when we take him to swimming classes and it's full of babies and the instructor does a roll call and yells out John. We do find ourselves telling people they can call him Johnny, but nonetheless, we were

much more happy giving him a more traditional name. Oh, it'll all calm down. Lots of love, Nick. What's Nick's... Can we dock something more happy giving him a more traditional name lots of love Nick what's Nick's can we can we dox him have we got a

second name is it a very Greek second name I'll have to check I mean you're not even in let me find it I can't get in

because somebody's sent the recovery email to something that's not me it's Lord Ramble it's your problem it's called Nick

I can't find it, mate. Oh, Nick... Oh, yeah, it's got a Greek name. Nick Totsidis. Totsidis. Yeah. That's a cool name. I like that.

Yeah, so... John Totsidis sounds quite good. Johnny Totsidis sounds wicked. Johnny Totsidis sounds like a man who commentates on the football on Five Live. Sounds like a man. Let's leave it at that. Sounds like a man.

Let's leave it at that. We have got quite a few telemarketer emails as well oh lovely old job but we'll do those excuse me we'll do those next week hello what's up in there I've got a little bit

curse of belly because I thought you curse tootin carmoon don't bring your bloody tootin carmoon polio nonsense around here please well because because I did a burp

yeah that's a symptom of polio it's the first sign is it because I thought you were going to be on time right

I wasn't on time I was a minute past I smashed my porridge down as quick as possible and that's

repeating on me but we're going to do the telemarketer homework next week before we set more homework because

the reason why is I've got an email here that I've been meaning to do for ages and I haven't squeezed in it's from Matt

and I'm going to squeeze it in now it's about attic finds and free DVDs from a few weeks

back and it's a good one so I going to squeeze it in now it's about attic finds and free DVDs from a few weeks back that you saw and it's a good one so I want to include it attic discovery says Matt after this podcast after I listened to that episode

of the podcast I've ventured up into my attic room which has been converted into a bedroom we don't use the room very often and it's generally

full of junk I love that spit all that money converting it still use it isn't it what's the difference it's just got a carpet and a window now. Dumping ground.

Costs 40 grand. Love it. I ascended the staircase knowing, quite honestly, there wasn't much of interest, but I wanted to get involved. This was my moment to finally be a part of the show. Upon reaching the landing and stepping through the door threshold, my barefoot stepped on something that can only be described as crusty. I switched on the light, aimed my eyes to the floor

and discovered some crusty old cat sick. Oh, that's all right. I thought it was going to be like a mouse or a bat. Yeah. He said he was fuming. It's like you wash your foot afterwards. Hopped down the stairs and then washed your foot. And then free DVDs.

Around 2000, says Matt. And after a tidy little bonus from work, my old man decided to make a purchase for the ages. A Pioneer 5.1 Dolby Surround sound system. Hello. That looks chunky. That feels chunky. I think that's going to be weighty.

It's good. I love late 90s, early 2000s tech. It's the only bit of tech I'm not into. No. Well, the problem is you're saying it's weighty. It's probably not going to be. It's going to be really plastic. Yeah.

Which didn't sound quite as good. Matt goes on to say, my dad was very proud with his latest tech purchase. The's going to be really plastic. Yeah. Which didn't sound quite as good. Matt goes on to say, my dad was very proud with his latest tech purchase. The three DVDs contained the following. Shrek, Spider-Man, and one of Arnie's finest,

The Sixth Day. That isn't one of Arnie's finest. I don't remember. I do kind of remember The Sixth Day, but it was definitely one of his later ones, wasn't it? You can't say it's one of his finest. No, no, no, no, no,

not in the slightest. I can't remember what it was about. I'll tell you. In the distant future, human cloning technology falls into the destructive, corrupt hands of a multinational corporation, but one man refuses to be a pawn in this deadly conspiracy. I think that might be Arnie.

I'll hedge my bets. The anticipation of getting everything set up for later that night to enjoy our first movie in the new Surround Sun experience was amazing. Cue hilarity, though, at watching my dad spend hours in furious frustration not knowing what the fuck he was doing. Meanwhile, listening to my mum sarcastically ask the eponymous question to the man of the house, when setting anything up,

have you read the instructions? No, there's nothing worse. And then you do read the instructions, you realise the male ego is quite destructive sometimes. It's not... I'll just pile in there and see how it goes. Oh, I've read the instructions and I've busted it. Yeah, exactly.

Eponymous doesn't mean that, by the way, Matt, but that's okay. We can cover that another day. Don't correct people's emails. Start correcting me constantly. But Pete, you say that one of the best things about being a broadcaster is that when I correct you because you're wrong, but my correction is also wrong and then we're both wrong. That's kind of our whole problem. No, no, no, no. The dream is that I was right in the first place.

Well that never happens. No, that's happened a couple of times and I get erections. I get big old poppers. Big old morning poppers over it. When's the last time I've corrected you when you've been

right all along I can't remember a video I watched yesterday so I mean you're not going to remember that but it's so important to you you'd think you'd

be able to remember it I'm sure our listeners will remind us hello at lukeandpeach.com that's about as much time as we've got

for today hope you have an excellent rest of your Monday have a good week as well and we'll be back on Thursday we'll do some of

your homework we'll do some other bits and pieces we'll set you a good week as well. And we're back on Thursday. We'll do some of your homework. We'll do some other bits and pieces.
