I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Mower. Lukey, how you doing? You've got a lovely plaid shirt on and as I noted when I was in the same room as you a few hours ago, some cargo pants.

Yeah and you're not one little corner of the Lucan Peach. So you are the big... Buttrous. Striding behemoth that infects everything and I just kind of run around trying to keep up with you, mate. I... But I'm doing well thank you. Yeah, it's good. I don't really know what part of an engineering sort of bridge or owning or creation a buttress is, but I very much enjoy saying the word buttress.

Yeah, I also don't know what a buttress is. I've had no cause to learn the meaning of that word. I can't even remember who Buttrus Butrus Ghani was. He was something to do with the UN I think. Right yes that sounds about right. Was he the first African UN guy? African born? I can't remember.

It doesn't matter. But listen if you listen to this show for the first time and you just popped into your recommended or something you thought I'll give this a go. This is basically how it goes. Don't know what we're gonna say. Do it for half an hour and then get on with our lives. Yeah, I mean, yeah, if you came here for Buddha's Buddha Kali facts, you are

damn and damn out of luck, unfortunately. You basically broke my internet last week with your chat about your dad's used condom. Why are you bringing this up again? Well, I'll tell you why, because every single person on the internet seems to have wanted to bring it up with me again. Right. But I haven't had a single message about it. Why are you bringing it to me everyone? It's Pete's story. It's not mine.

I haven't brought up a single... are people too scared to ask me directly about it? They've probably got a lot of questions. Yeah. A lot of people, I've seen a lot of feedback along the lines of, you know, in fact, I'll find something here for you. I could live for a thousand lifetimes and never have admitted that. Right. Jeezy Peeps man, the FBI couldn't have waterboarded that information out of me. Fair play to you, Donny. Glad I got the warning about the story.

I wasn't, I wasn't like, it's no shame on me though, is it? I'm a victim here. I got my dad's semen on my mouth. I'm the victim here. To be fair, the conversation then moved on to someone else saying, Pete, you were supposed to talk about your piss drawer today. You promised you would. Right, okay. But Pete hasn't actually got a piss drawer. He's cohabiting with an adult woman and has

a daughter. So I don't think a piss drawer would go down that well, would it? I think it would be indicative of some mental decline. Peter's rolling back the years. Which I know you are guilty of. Yeah, exactly. I mean, a lot of people sort of just buy toys from their youth. Me creating a piss drawer in the shed, you know, set chest of drawers, I think that might be a bit much. Well, even if you told, even if it's the bottom drawer and you told your partner. Yeah, yeah. I think anything. Yeah. So I go, look, what is your least favourite clothes?

Put them in the bottom drawer because you know, penis height has to be considered. I'll know. I think, I think you've, I think you need to splash into the drug, piss drawer, the bottom yourself and then the partner you have access to you can have all of the ones above your draw like Scott free right can it not be unaffected as I as I prove myself as a piss draw administrator could I move up the ranks a little bit and have an eye level pistol if I wanted I just think no I just think if you go top drawer for pistolistrall, they all become Pistrall. That kind of quite poorly rendered like MDF with a resin laminate is going to not hold

the liquid to the way that you need it to for that to be a successful project. Do you reckon sort of people who, like Chippies, who actually create like some nice wooden creations, do you reckon they're absolutely offended the level that people, you know, general level of furniture that people have in their houses because I pretty much there's not a single bit of furniture in my house that I would trust to kind of buttress or block a door in the event of an attack of some kind. It's not as main function though is it?

It's not the main function, but it is very, like you say, very MDFE, very chipboard, very shit. I know what you're saying. So if you look a proper artisan and you go into a place to make something for someone and you look at what they've got there already and it's poor quality, you're probably going to have a little judgment about that. Do you reckon they also want ownership over, so for example, have you got a carpenter to make a beautiful cupboard or say something that fits perfectly in the alcove, like a bespoke wardrobe, we've got those in our house, do you reckon that they would then feel like they naturally want some ownership about how you're going to use them? Oh what?

So they could demand a piss drawer? I'm just saying, would it be disrespectful to use a very nicely crafted carpenter's chest of drawers as a piss drawer? Well, I mean, if you sort of explained it to them, I'd just say, look, this is going to be the best piss drawer anyone has ever pissed into. I'm going to take this seriously. This defines me now. I give you my word, if I wake up at 3am there's not a chance I'm going to the bathroom.

Draw brother, follow me dad's old Johnnies. Brilliant. Just, what would be, say you've got a four, a four chest of drawers, a four drawer chest of drawers, what's going to be in the other two though? Oh, because you've got two at the top, mini. Oh, you've got the mini ones, yeah, a set of drawers. What's going to be in the other two though? You know what I mean? Because you've got two at the top, mini. Oh, you get the mini ones, yeah, for socks and pants. Then one, two, three big. Yeah, I don't know. I've got like four. I've got four and the pants and the socks, they very much mingle. Contact lenses, camera bits, little figurines I've collected over the

side over the years. Foreign money. So why don't you go pants and socks in the same drawer, but it's sacrosanct. Nothing else goes in there. Nothing goes in there, right. No, and also our Chester drawers in our bedroom is a beautiful piece of furniture that my wife got from a secondhand shop. It's really nice. It's genuinely really nice quality, really beautifully made. But it's too big for the bedroom.

And she insisted on bringing it with her when she moved here and that was one of her kind of non-negotiable so we just had to deal with it. Right okay yeah fair. But it's a lovely piece of work. I've got a really sort of kitch. I won't piss in there. Do you know those kind of pictures from the 1970s like the blue-faced Asian lady that was quite popular in working class.

Kind of. It was a little bit of... The 70s version of the band, there was a handsome man holding a baby. Sort of, yeah, but it was like a painting I think. Not particularly, but it was pretty kitsch. It was pretty shitty. I had in my old house in Old Cockney Street a sort of, a very rudimentary kind of painted black bit of furniture that someone had made in like Brighton or something and they'd stuck they basically just glued these kind of

like kitsch pictures to the front of it and that's him I can see that from here I don't want that I think I should get rid of that but it would mean that I would have to remove it from the house and somebody might see that I was removing it from the house and they might think that my that I had some kind of you know they sort of go, oh, I'll pick like Japanese stuff. Why has he got that? Or you've lost possession of your faculty. Or possession of my faculty. Why don't you, so is your house decorated then and furnished in a mismatch of stuff

that you've just accumulated over the years? That's mainly the cabin that I've kind of accumulated over the years. No, I mean your house. You've not gone wrong with moving to a new house so in this room we're going to get all this new stuff? No, no it's all kind of integrated cupboards and that are already there anyway and a sofa and a couple of tables. Sarah's like interest and patience for stuff means that we will move on from stuff quite quickly if you know what I mean. I've already just assembled it and then I've got a few months before it's out the door again. Oh, really?

Yeah, it's like she likes to get new stuff because it's exciting, isn't it? Like, you know, if you buy if you buy like a lovely bit of furniture or furniture that you've, you know, you've coveted and it's in your house, it's sweet and joy every day. I completely agree with her. Yeah. Apart from when I've got to assemble it. I've got like, yeah, I've actually got this is Yeah. Apart from when I've got to assemble it. Yeah, I've actually got, this is going to make me sound more boozy than I am, but

my particular taste in furniture of certain types is like quite nicely made, like thick, proper wood stuff. Right. There's a guy on Etsy who I asked to make stuff in dimensions for me. It's not that expensive. Right. Yeah. But to say the two bookcases in the living room, the TV table, my desk, um, one or two other things, they're actually made and the wardrobes in the bedroom, for example, they're actually made for that, for those spaces. Yeah. I mean, and, um, I was actually thinking about this the other day when we thought about, oh, we were going to move house.

If we do move house, are we going to take him with us? Look, I've got a nail gun. I've got a mitre saw. I've got loads of timber in my toilet out here in the cabin. So timber in your toilet. Why don't you let me? I've got the old gate that I pulled off the wall. That could that's a good bit of outside, like treated timber.

Why don't you let me get involved? Why don't you let me build you an integrated cupboard or something like that? I just you know it's the opposite problem to what a lot of people would have if a lot of people got you to do that and they didn't like it they would be lumped with that for the rest of their lives and they wouldn't say anything if you did something I didn't like it I would immediately tell you yeah and it would cause a rift I think I take it really badly and then you'd start doubling down and really going for it. It's actually good actually. It's what people want actually nowadays. They actually like

things that fall apart and give people spelks. You would take it so badly that you would treat it as a challenge. You'd go away on your own and I'd end up getting some kind of Fabergé, egg level piece of work that I didn't ask for or want. Yeah, and it would have microphones in it. The exception would be I would be fine with you like building some kind of computer equipment for me. Right, okay. Yeah. I'd go up to and including that. Up to including an Intel.

Yeah. An Intel, but not an Intel. You're my little, you're my little Pentium processor. My little Pentium processor. I'm a little seller on. On that subject, can I, here's a question for you. So when we decorated our house, we got some decorators in to do it. And I was kind of feeling like they might have been silently judging the colour choices in the wallpaper and the paint. Do you reckon they do what you reckon? They're just so fed up of it now they just get on with it and don't think about it? I imagine they probably just want people who've got a distinct and definite sort of idea about how it's all going to go. And also realism about what paint looks like before it's on

the wall, if you know what I mean, before it dries. Yeah, but do you think they're secretly painting, going, oh, I wouldn't have put this colour in here. Would they though? No, I don't think so. I think they just spend all of their time colouring. I think any wall's a gal, I would say, in many ways. I don't think they would care what you slopped on the wall. Because at the end of the day, as long as you're painting them, they'll do whatever paint-wise I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely fine.

I just think I would have an opinion on it though. Yeah, I know you would, but that's why you're not a good painter. Which renders me incapable of doing it myself. Rend rendering as well. I've got, there's a lot of, down the side of my house, a lot of pointing that needs doing. I wasn't aware what pointing is but it just seems to be where brick meets cement. Brick means grout. Re-pointing right? Re-pointing. So why is it called repointing? I don't know, are you going to do that yourself? Well I've got a ladder and I've got a trowel, so what else do you need exactly? I don't think you need a sort of...

The problem is, like, I think that people don't respect the botch enough, you know? People don't respect sort of just having a go. And it'll be better than doing nothing. Yeah. No. It'll protect it from the sea air blowing off the gusting off the Thames has to be said. Do you live in an area where you have to repaint your house all the time because of the sea

air? Because I know a lot of people do now where I'm from. Yeah, yeah. Things do seem to just fall off and flake off, which is a bit annoying. I'm looking up repointing. Apparently the pointing is the name for the external part of the mortar joint in masonry construction. So repointing I guess means making it better. But apparently you can, there's something called tuck pointing as well. Using two different colours of mortar in the mortar joints of the brickwork, with one colour matching the bricks themselves and one, and basically to give the impression that it's very fine work. Oh, there are fewer, oh so like what, two sides of the grout sort of meeting in the middle. So it looks like an Oreo.

Maybe you could try tuck pointing. I could try tuck pointing, couldn't I? I just don't think, your attitude there that you just displayed earlier is exactly why you shouldn't be doing it. You've basically said, anything I do will be better than nothing. That's not true. It's true, I get up there. I don't even know why you need it. Is it just to protect the mortar that's between the bricks? I'll tell our listeners exactly what's happened. You've learnt what it is, learnt the phrase, noticed it and then decide that you want to do it. Looked up the wall and went, yeah, that seems doable. Stuff like that seems a lot easier than dealing with a car. You look into an engine bay and you go, nah, I'm absolutely lost here.

There's a guy, did I speak about this on the show? There's a man, well, he's like a young lad basically from London and he films himself on YouTube just taking engines, like removing engines from cars in front of people's houses. Not on a driveway, not in a garage, he literally will replace engines in the streets in London. Completely illegal, you shouldn't be doing it. You mentioned this before. Did I mention this on the show? Yeah. You said you were fascinated by it. Did I? Right fascinating right okay oh well there we go yeah you definitely told me about it yeah that seems more complicated than getting a bit of grout on the wall i'm sorry if any builders

are listening with pointing are they not i mean i might be completely wrong here it's not my area of expertise at all right is it like they they're chiseling one brick old brick out and putting a new brick in one by one no i thought oh no i don't think so, I thought it was just making sure that, just slopping a bit of, slopping a bit of grout in between the bricks, no? Just to protect the bricks? No, that's not, I don't think so, because this house is down my road that had been repointed and they basically look brand new. Right, well yeah they will do, because you've got, because you've just put in a new grout, so that's, the bricks are always just going to be one colour isn't it? I don't know.

No, you're replacing the bricks. Well, I'm not doing that then. That's complicated, like an engine out job on someone's driveway for crying out loud. I've dropped you a before and after photo in the WhatsApp, have a look. That's what it is apparently. Okay. I have no idea how they do it, but it looks like it's-

Oh yeah, that looks- It's not just new grouting. Yeah, that looks like they've, how have they done that then? Could they not just have cleaned the wall a bit? I'll tell you what, it's a good job. You didn't go and do it in your own house, didn't you? I know, right? It's a good job. Good job. I've reported that.

Good job we've had this conversation. It doesn't look like you have. Good job we've had this conversation. Yeah, I'll tell you what. So yeah. I'm so far away from doing anything like that kind of stuff, you know. Well, clearly it turns out I am too. Yeah. But I will build a little wall if you want. It doesn't stop you does it? It doesn't stop me. Peter, what's been floating in your boat?

You've been in Kosovo, tell us about that. Yeah, we're in Kosovo over the weekend. Yeah, mainly just having a stroll around. I'll tell you what, for someone who hates ankle injuries, not the place to go because there's just... I think that towns and cities that are quite hilly and mountainous they need to give up on the cobbles because they're with the subsidence and the movement and when it gets wet it just give up on the cobbl-

they should have some lovely cement just- I think when they were doing it that was the way it was done and they haven't replaced it No, that's a very good point actually. Yeah it's yeah just need to give up on the cobbles lads to be honest What was the indie club like? There was no lads, to be honest. It was... What was the indie club like? There was no indie clubs, there was no... Was there an Irish bar? Nightlife wasn't really the thing, really.

It wasn't really... Oh, it's backfired, isn't it? It's backfired, yeah. That'll be screened. What were you doing in the evenings then? Just had a bit of food, really. A lot of, had a lot of a gourd. I learned a lot of the old...

I mean, every society has a version of the sausage roll, don't they? Like every part of the world. Because like you're saying, everyone's cuisine revolves around cheese on toast. Pretty much, yeah, pretty much. But everyone's got like meat in a bit of pastry to varying degrees. But I would say pound for pound that our sort of meat and pastry dishes, aka the Common O'Garn sausage roll, just way better value one would suggest, because you just get more meat, which is the most valuable thing. Yeah. To me, these kind of snacks, I annoy myself because I much prefer the really posh artisan kind

of gentrified version of them. Right, okay. Like you know like the really big thick sausage rolls you get from like Gales Baker. But do you not need, with stuff like that, do you not sort of feel like you're dipping it in tomato sauce is sort of going against what should be? Yeah, or HP or something. Nah, it's good. It's good.

I like it. But so you basically went to Kosovo, ate sausage rolls and came home again. Yeah. Well, what do you do when you... Well, I had a walk around. We saw the Bill Clinton statue, which was hilariously over the road from a ladies clothes shop. So there was loads of sexy mannequins outside, which I thought was quite amusing. And he was looking down their tops. And so people across the Vogue presumably love Clinton and Albright and those guys because of their independence didn't they? Yeah, there's also a Tony Blair road as well, which is up on the hill. Yeah it was good.

I guess what I'm trying to get to on behalf of our listeners is what's the motivation for you going there in the first place? What did you intend to do? Did you fulfil those intentions? Just ticking off those, you know, just ticking off Yugoslavia as best I can. Was it you and your man Craig? Your man Craig, yeah, he was in North Macedonia.

Alex? Alex came, yeah, I debuted that T-shirt. Did a lot of T-shirt based bullying of Alex. Explain to the listeners what of t-shirt based bullying of Alex but yeah, good times. Explain to the listeners what a t-shirt was? It was, every time I go away with Alex because he doesn't want to be a meme, I try and make a little t-shirt comprising of basically his face somewhere on the t-shirt and this time around it was the Windows Millennium Edition logo with Alex in the background just eating

a bit of dinner. Right, did it go down well? I thought it went bad because it wasn't anything vicious really. at Logo with Alex in the background just eating a bit of dinner. And he was... Go down well? I thought I went back because it wasn't it wasn't anything vicious, really. Wasn't vicious. We just enjoyed it. We just enjoyed ourselves. And you didn't get to see it all that much because it was bloody freezing.

It was like minus minus five. But very sunny as well. Did I have any friends? I didn't have it. We couldn't have the shower on for very long because somebody kept switching off the boiler accidentally when they thought it was a light switch and then at the end, literally as we were leaving, Alex pointed out this light switch that people were using to turn on what

they thought was the light but they're actually turning off the boiler and he could have pointed that out two days ago but just as we were leaving he basically just explained precisely why we hadn't had a shower for about two days. So a good time was had by all and a very overzealous Airbnb man who gave us our, there were four people staying and it was 125 quid for the weekend. It wasn't a huge amount of money but it was very, it was literally very low rent. But it was, it was, it was very, it was, it was literally very low rent. But, but he kept on ringing me every time I chose it. Every time, every, every day he would sort of ring up and go, is everything all right? I was going, stop ringing us. It's fine. I'll tell you if something's wrong.

I'm just trying to think of a world I could live in where we go away and I'm letting you choose the accommodation. Right. Okay. Yeah, but I- You'll choose somewhere because it's got like some kind of like wacky bit of tech in it that you would love to have a little play with. If you go... There's no beds, but it's got a 1970s fucking TV unit in it. Well, the more, the closer you get to Eastern Europe, the more chance you are of finding a 1950s gigantic radio, like sort of ham radio set up in there.

And to be fair, I would like that. Yeah, yeah. But not at the behest of a comfortable stay. No, it was pretty... Did you get pissed? What's the local liquor? I think I got pissed. Yeah, I got a couple of beers.

There's a lot of... I don't know the sort of bars we frequently... It's a Muslim country, but it's not a dry country. Not a dry country, no. Yeah, Avon was absolutely lovely. I don't know the sort of bars we sort of frequent in. It's a Muslim country but it's not a dry country. Not a dry country, no. Yeah, everyone was absolutely lovely. The level of English is about, I think, the highest I've ever been in a country outside

of England. Like, there's not a single person. Higher than Hartlepool, right? Well, yeah. When I went, I was telling Sarah about the man who gave me a tire, who fitted a tire, who fitted a tire on my car in Hartlepool, who had the most Hartlepool accent ever and I was like, Jesus, if I was ever, if I ever had such a strong accent, I'd be surprised, but I've certainly lost it because he literally went, he said, I'm gonna have to order that in because you've

got a weird fucking car, you like mate. And like, fine, I do have a weird fucking car like mate. But yeah, it was, I was like, God, did this guy's got, I kind of want to record him. He's got such a strong Hartlepool accent. It's almost imperceivably English. I was with a friend of mine over the weekend, he's from the US and he's over here for a master's program and it's like an international master's program.

So there's people from all over the world on it, like 30 people or something, they're all from different parts of the world. And he said that, you know, despite the fact that a large percentage of the cohort are you speaking English as a second language, the person who's finding it most hard to be understood is the Glaswegian guy. My friend is American and clever. He's doing a masters at a good university and he's got a good job. He's obviously from the US. He's like, I cannot understand it. My friend's from Iowa and he's like, I've just never experienced that type of English before. Like you can't even get on the right plane.

You've got to tune in I suppose, haven't you? I remember when I first, I've got a good mate who's from Glasgow, his accent softened over the years, but when he first moved down to Portsmouth he was posted down there. That's a hell of a journey. I can't remember the fucking word he was saying. My... Flat Stanley? ...son of the family of Skye, so I'm used to the accent. I just couldn't get it. I remember the thing that always blew my mind

is that he always used to say, instead of pardon or you know, what or excuse me, he would say, what are you fucking saying to me? Which is basically, what are you fucking saying to me? It's kind of... really fast in Las Vegas. It's a little bit in your face, isn't it? Yeah, it's full on. It's full on.

He's a lovely fellow though. Yeah, lovely fellow. Let's have a break, Peter. When we come back, we'll chat a bit more nonsense. Maybe we'll squeeze an email in. Who knows? Maybe it's our listeners lucky day. All right then.

I've bought a lot of illegal fat jabs on the internet and I want everyone to buy them off me. Oh yeah, what are they? It's a new, it's like a Zen Pick, but it does make your hands hurt. It's, you lose absolutely shit loads of weight, but oh, you're just screaming because your hands hurt all the time. And why have you bought that?

For a laugh, just want to see what's... Aren't you like five, nine and about ten stone? Well, I'm glad that you have not only reduced my weight by about a stone and a half, you've also given me an extra inch as well, which we could always use with... Use with? You could all use. That's what this show is, isn't it? Me giving you an extra inch. Exactly, yeah. It's getting me excited. So you're 5'8", and 11 and a half stone. That's not fat, is it?

Yeah. Yeah, it's getting there, mate. It's getting there. Is it? What do you reckon getting there, mate. It's getting there. What do you reckon is the main cause of that? It's getting to probably the fine sausage rolls. The fine Cosmine sausage rolls, one would suggest, yeah. So you're going to bang a load of that, are you? Yeah, but yeah, just, just, okay. Do you think that like when people sort of lose weight...

Sorry to interrupt, but is any aspect of your life at any time just calm? I've not bought any fat chaps on the internet, that would be mental. Oh I thought you had. Okay. No. Okay. Oh that's a shame. Who would buy fat jabs off me?

Pete's got some ozempikin, do you want some? I thought you might use them for your own personal use. I'm just obsessed with the very idea of them because like, fine they work, but like, you know like when people lose weight and it's a real achievement for them, you know, they, they, they, they go into some kind of, um, uh, you know, diet and they work out and stuff. Yeah, but like, I think it's pretty extreme though. Like you literally, you never need to eat. You just feel full all of the time. I don't think that's, I don't think it's that bad. I think, I think the more, the mainstream ones, I think they, they, what they do is they, that bad. I think the mainstream ones, I think what they do is they simulate or they basically add or give you literally a certain chemical or hormone that your body isn't that good

at producing itself, right? So it does give you that sensation, but it's not like you don't feel like you can never eat. It's not like that. No, no, no. You always want to eat. But then when you're eating, I think it suddenly closes the... which is a fantastic thing. But I just think that the achievement that people are kind of... when people lose weight, people are going to go, are you being taking them fat jams? You've been taking those ozempic thingamajigs. Yeah, but I mean, I know what you're saying, but I think... I mean, it's no one's business is it? Who cares? Yeah, I suppose so. I think that Mount Jaro, which is the one that you can get here privately, it's kind

of like Azempic. It's got terzepotide in it, which is essentially, it regulates your glucose or something. Coincidentally, a while back I was reading about this and I was reading the thing that surprised me, chiefly because I'd never really thought of it this way before, but medically speaking now, I think, maybe partly because it's such a widespread problem, I think medical professionals are now kind of, they now kind of treat morbid obesity as like an illness really. It's not seen as like a lifestyle choice in that way. It's not really, I mean, obviously medical professional doesn't have that judgment anyway, but it's not, it's not seen as, as anything other than like a medical issue. So essentially your body is supposed to produce X amount of this hormone or chemical or whatever to regulate your hunger and you're just not doing it. And that's a massive reason why a lot of people

are overweight. So if you could find a way to simulate that or to give it to people if they need it and they're not getting it, that's when you see these amazing results. Because I think, I think after that, as far as I understand it, all the behavior, all the behaviors kind of fall into line behind it. Right. I think a lot of it is behavioural based, but rooted in that lack of a chemical or hormone or whatever. I'm not medically call off wise. I'm probably talking shit in terms of terminology, but that's the basics, the basic kind of principle. And also like I saw a post online the other day on Instagram of a woman who had lost a huge amount of weight and she looked she looked fantastic and in the comments someone had said oh you know a Zen picks a hell of a drug

isn't it lol or whatever and loads of people underneath it was actually quite heartening loads of people are going what do you fucking care yeah so what's it got to do with you you know you people who like fact shame other people because they try and dress it up as like concerns about the health service stuff you should be fucking pleased. The amount of times that you, you know, I've got mates who sort of put content out on the internet and the amount of people who will feel very comfortable sort of drive by sort of commenting on, on, you know, YouTube and stuff, sort of saying, just, just work out. People are obsessed with the fucking gym. People are obsessed.

Yeah, masculinity. It's a decline of masculinity, isn't it? It's a way to try and reclaim masculinity. Is it? I mean... Yeah, I think, I think men, a lot of men use the gym as a way to reclaim their masculinity because they're not able to do it in other ways. Yeah. Well, you'd think that the way that men dress it in gyms, that's probably not how men of the 40s, that these

men are clearly trying to emulate, would dress. Lot of lycra. Lot of bright coloured lycra. And I think back in the day, it's more honest, isn't it? Eat a load of eggs, grow a beard. Eat a lot of eggs, grow a beard and wear a vest. Wear a vest. If you're going to be working out, wear a vest.

None of this, you know, Under Armour stuff. You want to wear a vest for crying out loud. When you look at this beard I've got at the moment, do you think that is a reclamation of masculinity right there? I think so. But it's that kind of like weird kind of Roman statue stuff where probably... The penis is really small. The penis is really small. Doesn't he look muscular? Probably has a small boy who he's a little bit too close to. All that good stuff from back in the day.

Yeah. I've taken quite a lot of the lifestyle choices of the Roman Empire and then tried to implant them in my daily life. Small boys around me, tiny penis, a thoughtful bearded look, but actually got no clue about how the world actually works because of the time I've been born into. I could do a massive kind of gallery of statues that look like you. There's a lot of like Greco kind of statues that has kind of... I'm wearing a t-shirt that my dad gave me. You probably can't read it because it's backwards where you are, but it says 30 years... It's forwards, it's forwards. 30 years in the Gillin and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Yeah my dad bought me... In my dad's local pub, the gillin. Yeah my dad decided to get me a

promotional t-shirt for the pub that he until very recently frequented and he... I think he thinks I'm six foot three. Whenever he's bought me anything... You probably get bigger in his mind. Obviously I loom large in his mind. Why is he buying me extra large t-shirts? What's that about? Yeah. It's almost a bit like he's giving you a free promotional t-shirt. It's like when Curtin buys Kerry a Screwfix catalog for her birthday. Right, okay. It's obviously just a Screwfix catalog you get for free in the shop. He's not paid for

that, is he? No, no, exactly. Good point. Who are these people you're talking about? In this country. You've not seen this country. I don't, I think I saw a couple of episodes. It's very good but it's just one of those things that yeah. It's brilliant. It's right up there for me. It's one of the best British comedies. I have to sort of, I just always sort of think like nowadays I have to watch, I can't really watch anything alone, do you know what I mean? So like the decision has to be made, I don't know, the decision has to be made to... Are you frightened?

The decision has to be made to... Are you frightened of being alone? For us both to watch something, I suppose. So it has to tick all the boxes for both of us, I think. But for me, I'll have a show on the background when I'm doing stuff, I'll have a show on when I'm cooking, the WiFi I've access to will go to bed fairly early because obviously we've got a young... But can you sort of, but you, can you watch like narrative stuff in the background on your headphones or whatever?

This country is just stuff I've seen before, right? So it's almost the same principle as you put in the American office on every night in bed. Correct. But we don't have a TV in the bedroom so we don't do that. Oh well, look at you special bro. We don't! So fancy. Well, my little telly is on my piss drawer and that's all. It's in your piss drawer. It's in my piss drawer and it's absolutely fine. Yeah I can believe it.

Peter let's wrap up and get out of here. It's been a whistle stop tour hasn't it? Yeah it's been a whistle stop tour. Stopping in Pistraugh County. Right we'll be back on Thursday. If you've tried a Zempik, let us know what it's like. I'm fascinated by the whole process to be honest. Can you actually get a Zempik here or is it different in the UK? Presumably if you've got enough clout, enough bunce you can get whatever you want, no? You can get it flown in, can't you?

Flown in? What kind of world are you living in? I'm posted. Like your friend. It's like that Larry King interview with the guy on DuckTales. I told Sarah about that today out of nowhere. Isn't that weird that we both mentioned it? What's a luxury that you love? Socks. Private jet. What about a private plane? Larry, I'm on DuckTales.
