you're drinking some natural spring water from a can i'll tell you what that is fresh that is fresh it's not fresh it's in a can it's been in a box on the corner of stack officers stack hq canned at the austrian alpsps though I did well you'd appreciate the the reference Peckham Spring Water oh yeah that guy

that guy who was selling that bottle of Peckham Spring Water has not been seen on Facebook Marketplace for such a long time what's happened to him now I don't know it's just

Facebook Marketplace has been taken over by people who've got those crazy reborn dolls you know those horrible they're horrible it's annoying because I've got so much

stuff in my house to sell and I can't do eBay I can't bother with that I can't do all the other stuff like Venmo not Venmo Vinted or whatever it's called

oh right okay yeah I thought apparently Facebook Marketplace my sister was telling me that's pretty good yeah I've only ever I haven't got a Facebook account I've only ever given away stuff

that I didn't want like for free so for me it's been excellent it's not Marketplace really more of for me, it's been excellent. It's not marketplacing really, more of a buffet. Yeah, it's more of a,

I'm leaving stuff outside the house, can you come and pick it up please? Yeah. Oh, I'll do that. Yeah. Well, I'll give away a coffee table and two people let me down and then the third bloke turned up and he seemed quite happy with it.

I'd kind of let everyone down because I, when I took a picture of it, I'd just given it a little wipe so it looked quite reflective and polished. Oh, and then people turned up and went,

even for free, I'm not going near that. Even for free, I'm not going near that, yeah. Yeah. Oh, people turn up and went, even for free, I'm not going near that. Even for free, I'm not going near that, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah,

yeah. You have to be a particularly special brand of human being, don't you, to go and find something for free

that you know you want and then turn up and go, I don't want it? Yeah, but then... You would take it out of awkwardness.

Oh, yeah, of course I would and I'd take everything else they had as well. I'd clear the whole house just out of politeness. It'd lift with me back.

Did you take a photo of it with the reflection and in the reflection I could see your penis? No. Because that's apparently what a lot of men do accidentally. What, accidentally?

Quite a thing, isn't it? I found that there's a local bed shop owner who advertises on Facebook Marketplace and he's basically just stolen pictures of women. Okay. Not particularly naked,

just women in their bed. not particularly naked not particularly naked but like you know women just in their bedrooms and it's and he'll post it on Facebook and sort of go

we're selling this bed but it's not the bed in the picture he's just selling general beds but he's just trying to lure you in for the click

effectively which he got in my case clearly you still you go on there every day do you go on there see what beds he's got anyway it's Luke and Pete show Luke and Pete show hello Effectively. Which he got in my case, clearly. You've gone there every day, do you? Gone there every day. See what beds he's got.

Anyway, it's Luke and Pete show. Luke and Pete show. Hello. Hello. Join us. Welcome. Hello, daddy. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.

Peter, I'm very happy to see you. Are you? Okay. I'm not sure I like where that's going. You're very happy to see me. Yeah. You've got a very strategic placing of a cable right next to your cock and balls.

Yeah. On that chair. I like to get that 60 hertz hum on the old Nevers. So you're trying to lure me in? Yeah. Sell me a bed. Yeah, exactly. That electrical hum.

The electricity, baby. And we're building up to the... Euros. No. We're building up to the Euros with some Luke and Pete shows. What are you talking about?

Imagine if we did like a Ramble Euro preview show. Now. Now, yeah. They dropped exactly. And we just did it. We pretended like

the workup hadn't happened. We just dropped a Euro preview show the day after we get kicked out. That would be a lot of fun. It would be a lot of fun. It would be a lot of fun, Luke.

How much fun out of ten would it be? Oh, ten teens. Ten teens times of fun. It would be a lot of fun. It would be a lot of fun, Luke. How much fun out of ten would it be? Oh, ten teens. Ten teens times of fun. What I was actually going to say is something far more boring. It was absolutely fucking freezing on the way here. Oh, it is cold. It is cold.

I'm enjoying the new things I've got to do to a car that I've not had to do before, like scrape the windscreen. I'm enjoying the new things I've got to do to a car that I've not had to do before, like scrape the windscreen. Really... I was on the motorway yesterday and I was behind a big salty truck dropping out the salt.

I noticed that looking at your car on the car park. It's filthy. It's filthy. And it was hitting my window and so salt was just... I wasn't even bothered by the amount of ice that was on my windscreen this morning. It was getting rid of all of the salt particles

because it was just ghosted my window if I could do memes I would have mocked up a meme of Gordon Ramsay driving that truck with your car behind it and at the bottom

I'd put seasoned seasoned seasons greetings yeah I noticed that your car was a right old state absolute state you can barely see

the registration plate which is a boon for me the way I drive. Fans of mine and fans of West Norwood would have been very, very happy

yesterday morning seeing me out there de-icing the car with a Nectar card. Because I had no scraper. What if you accidentally snap your Nectar card? You're going to be

in all kinds of trouble. I know. And actually, the silicon covering actually started to come off. I had to stop and then revert to a library card. I've got a burn. Can you see that? Yeah, I know. And actually the silicon covering actually started to come off. I had to stop and then revert to a library card. I've got a burn. Can you see

that? Yeah, I can. My skin's quite dry around there. I don't know what is in de-icer. Like the fluid you get in the cans. It's chemicals. It's chemicals. It felt ammonia-y. But it got all over my face because it snapped off and I'd

had to fiddle with it to get it out. What, the windscreen washer? No, not the windscreen washer, like actual de-icer. Oh, the bottle of it. The actual bottle of stuff that basically melts the ice. And that got all over my face

and I didn't feel great after that, to be honest. As I was doing mine, my next door neighbour came down to get into her car and just casually pulled the towels off the front and back windscreen. I went, morning.

Got in the car and just drove off. She'd put a towel on her windscreen. It's a hack, apparently. Oh, so a full towel on the front of your windscreen and then it never... And the back. That's such a good idea. I don't care about that. I got heat for that.

Yeah. So I could just put a big towel over the front. If I'd seen it before and I'd known how smug she was going to be, as I walked back from the pub the night before, I would known how smug she was going to be as I walked back from the pub the night before I would have pulled that off and I would have said you can have an icy windscreen the same as the rest of us

yeah that is true I didn't think about that I might do that but then the torags in our street they have egged our house before so oh really

which would do some damage with these frozen climbs definitely so when I was walking in this morning I was thinking to myself getting, I was thinking to myself, getting dramatic, I was thinking,

this is the coldest I've ever been in London. Ever. You reckon? And I looked at my temperature thing and it was minus five. What do you think, apparently on the 1st of January, New Year's Day,

no less, 1962, was the lowest ever temperature recorded in London. Okay. What do you reckon it was? Oh, minus seven then. Minus 16. That's like, the coolest I've ever been was Cluge, I think. Okay. What do you reckon it was? Oh, minus seven then. Minus 16. That's like, the closest I've ever been was Cluj, I think.

Okay. In Romania. I think that was minus 15. And that was like, how do you get anything done? And that was like, only like November or something. So I've done minus 25 in Vermont before. Yeah. And that was just no joke.

What do you do? Nothing. You can't do anything. You can't do anything, mate. There's nothing that happens. And the only thing I would say is up there, it felt like a much drier cold.

So it wasn't like an in-your-bones type cold. Right. But it wasn't pleasant. No. I can't imagine it being minus 16 in London, to be honest.

I don't know. I mean, would that affect our infrastructure massively? Because it's not... I think the answer is always yes to that, isn't it? The answer is always yes. Yeah.

Let's be absolutely clear. You think, like, we feel the difference between, like, minus 5 and minus 15, but the, like, metal, it should be able to withstand that swing, surely. It's only minus 15 to, you know, plus 35. I don't know. I mean, it's metal after all.

But is it a case of... So, for example, because we had this in the summer, didn't we? The summer had just gone. And the rail companies were saying the gauge and all the gear and stuff, they're not geared up to deal with X temperature.

In Spain, they are. Right. And part of me, in ignorance, was just like, we'll just build them like Spain do then. But I guess that must be more expensive. It's not worth doing,

I suppose. And I suppose the opposite is true when you say, you know, you've got the Trans-Siberian Express or whatever. That's obviously, that does work.

So there must be some way of doing it. Just in the UK, we either don't bother or we don't think it's worth it. And that comes into the case when people say, oh, you know,

as soon as there's an inch of snow, the whole country comes to a standstill. Well, of course, because it doesn't snow very often. And if you spend all your money on that kind of equipment that you

never use you're going to get hammered for that I think it's annoying when you are in a situation where you don't pay

your staff and keep a lot of profits that's always the thing for me I was thinking that's what I always do

that's what I always do what? that's what you always do you know that just going back to the windscreen thing,

apparently, because I actually saw another lady. Stop looking at ladies. Can't help it. I can't help it. I saw her pouring, I mean, I'm not saying it's boiling water

because I don't know, but it was coming from a kettle onto her windscreen. That's a big no-no. That's a big no-no. I saw a guy doing that on his side, side screen,

what are they called? Side screen, door screen, I don't know, door window. side screen. What are they called? Side screen. Door screen. I don't know. Door window. Car window. Car window. Yeah.

Yeah, well, car windows, a lot of them. What narrows that down? Windscreen has its own unique name. The Back Boy. Whatever he is. The Back Boy. He gets his own thing. No, that's the Back Boy.

That's the Back Boy. But like the side windows, they don't get their own name. Driver's window. Driver's side window. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he was pouring a kettle onto it. a bad boy but like the side windows they don't get driver's window driver's side window yeah yeah well he was pouring a kettle onto it and there was a

it was a lovely little tiktok where someone he poured it and the windscreen immediately went and smashed the window immediately went smashed

well you saw this yeah and there was a bit of water at the time it takes for the window to smash and him pull back the kettle a bit goes through the window into the seat

which was really compounded it for me because that probably would have damaged the leather and his little face he sort of just goes oh he just looks away

because he's like if I don't look at it it didn't happen it was so funny it's good stuff so that is classic back in the day must have been I'm going to say late 90s right Look at it. It didn't happen. It was so funny. It's good stuff. That is classic.

Back in the day, must have been, I'm going to say late 90s. Right. My old man used to get a lift to work. My old man doesn't drive. He used to get a lift to work with his boss, who was the company owner.

But he was a bit of a character. And coincidentally, I used to work with the owner's son at the sports shop I worked at. Oh, this is a wee little merit image of what your dad was experiencing. Small town, small town Britain, I guess. Small town UK. And he was a nice kid

and I haven't seen him for years, but he was a lovely fella. Anyway, his dad, it was my dad's boss, company owner. He had this amazing, I think it was a Ford Scorpio. Do you know what a Ford Scorpio is? No, but give it a Google.

Like a proper 90s, like commuter salesman type car. Right. Oh, I like it though. A big executive car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a big boyio is. No, but give it a Google. Like a proper 90s like commuter salesman type car. Right, right. Oh, I like it though. A big executive car. I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a big boy, yeah.

So anyway, he had heated seats in that car. Yeah. Why do people have heated seats? What's that about? I've got it in my car. It's great.

What's it for though? Well, if you want to drive along feeling like you shit yourself, it's quite a nice experience. No, because you bang them on straight away and it's nice. Yeah, yeah, I guess so.

You know what heaters do. Yeah, I know, but I just think I'd get too hot in my clothes. It's not a sweat. So my, yeah, well, you can turn it off. My dad's boss's car

that we used to give my dad a lift to work in, it was like a half hour drive. Yeah. Right. The Ford Scorpio's heated seats were broken. Right.

And he never got around to fixing them. So they were always on. Oh, so they were constantly. So this is the issue that we're talking about. So 35 degrees.

Yeah. So my dad. Just take the fuse out, mate. Yeah, well, my dad. It'll be on its own circuit, won't it? I have vivid memories of my dad coming home

from work, right? Looking in through the passenger window and he's like this. He's like, propping himself up. One hand on the door, one hand on the handbrake, propping himself up one hand on the door one hand on the

handbrake propping himself up so he's got like three or four inches away and I was like dad it's not worth it just get the bus

get the bus in or whatever and Tony Scarfe the guy who he was the guy whose car it was for some reason would just never

get it fixed I think it might have been a wind up or something because I think his side was okay so he was like I don't sit in that so so I don't really care.

And he never got around to doing it. But surely it just heats the whole house on a 30-degree day. You don't need that. This is not ideal, is it? No, it's not novel. But speaking of the old heat, I saw something on the BBC website saying that apparently on TikTok there's now a

trend for people and this is you know it's a fairly serious point here because I suppose people are having to do this because they can't afford their heating bills which is terrible

but people have been making like makeshift heaters from like tea lights and terracotta pots. Oh good God. Apparently but if you do that and you've not

got it on the right surface so if you put a terracotta pot for example on the side of your kitchen. Right. Put all the tea lights on light right surface so if you put a terracotta pot for example on the side of your kitchen put all the tea lights on, light them and then the terracotta pot I suppose warms up and then warms the room but of course if you leave it

on for too long it cracks and then the tea lights go everywhere and it basically ignites your house and in Derby apparently there was a flat that had it and they had to end up evacuating 50 people from the complex

the flat building nice and warm though because people were doing it if your house is on fire it will be warm that's too warm that is way too warm I think

assuming it's a false economy because you sort of buy when the cost of living crisis hits and you sort of go right okay how can I improve

my energy efficiency oh no I'll cook in an air fryer well what if you don't already have an air fryer what if you don't and you sort of go, right, okay, how can I improve my energy efficiency? Oh, no, I'll cook in an air fryer. Well, what if you don't already have an air fryer? What if you don't already have these tea lights? You've got to pay for these things. These things still cost money. When you have used those tea lights, the candle has stopped working because the paraffin has finished.

So, like, these things still cost money, and they probably cost more money than actually heating your home in the conventional way, no? It does but it reminds me of that did you see that I mean

you can you can you can judge this Pete because you're much better at judging these things than me and I don't want to be unfair but there was an article in the Guardian

by a lady you know with a double brow surname in the Guardian it went to print. Yeah, okay, okay. And it was also replicated on the online version.

Yeah, yeah. I'm saying, if you're struggling to heat your home financially, you know, the best thing to do is to get yourself an Arga. Because long term,

it pays for itself because it's always on. Right, yeah. And you can do your heating, you can do your cooking, you can do your iron and all the rest of it on it, right? Yeah, yeah. And it was really, it was very can do your cooking, you can do your iron and all the rest of it on it, right? Yeah, yeah.

And it was really, it was very much like a, here's a head pat, Plebs. Yeah, yeah. You probably haven't thought of this. I can imagine somebody, you know, a lady or a man of advancing years, pushing an auger into a council tower block lift. Yeah.

Here's the accompanying photo, by the way. Yeah, I'll install that in my rented accommodation in, you know, Hackney. I'm well surprised to see that the lady who did that, who wrote about it, has basically got a 10,000 square foot kitchen. And some guy on Twitter basically did a comeback, said this is what you'd have to do,

practically speaking, to get an archery in, right? Yeah. You probably, on the average house, you're going to need to take that wall out. Yeah. You're you'd have to do practically speaking to get an architecture in right you're probably on the average house you're going to need to take that wall out you're going to need to do this to install it ended up

basically costing about 30 grand why do people do this but to be to the Guardian's credit they don't usually

run those kind of stories like I'm sure they get pitched them all the time but I think with it's usually, you see that sort of

thing in the Times or the Telegraph, don't you? You sort of go, oh, how out of touch. The Guardian, I would probably have

as being a little bit more aware of how they sound, and it's just astonishing. But they're not the Arlo. I mean, they are. They have to be.

Would you be interested to know that this lady's also playing? They know what a meme is. They know how things get shared

around. She's planning on moving her TV into the kitchen and sitting toasty warm by the AGA. Stupid. Can I just say... Stupid. I know what you're saying, but do they actually know? I haven't got kitchen telly.

Not common. Is it? Is this just not an example of the old, oh, we know he must be much more racially responsible and diverse in our workplace, so we're going to do this and we're going to do that. But who's in the boardroom? Who's actually making decisions?

I think that's almost a deliberate little bit of shareable content that they know will get clicks because the piece that everyone always falls for is a young man with a partner and they are going, I managed to cut out the old lattes every day and my

avocado toast and I managed to buy a house. And then you go through it and you go, Dad lent me 50 grand. But these newspapers, all the tabloids all of the broadsheets they all run these

not because they it's because they get shared they get shared around they get the clicks they get the advertising revenue there's always somebody who's going to write them for them there's always someone

who's going to debase themselves in front of the general public by writing this ridiculous and we will do that for a sponsor and we will do that for a sponsor if And we will do that for a sponsor. If you're sponsored by Arga. Yeah, get us an Arga. Is it that though or is it just that

they are not, because I think people try and put this kind of Machiavellian almost conspiracy theory kind of 3D chess type explanation. Is it not just that they've fucking got a lot of deadlines to hit and it's fine and that person can write and it's 300 words and it'll be fine. No, it's just they know that the umbrage that people take on Twitter,

the guardianistas, you would probably say, in modern parlance, would find those kind of stories absolutely abhorrent, and then they can post their little Simpsons memes of, like, wait for it, say it, yeah, where Miller says it. Like, they would have, they know that that's a situation,

they know it's memeable, and they know it's shareable, and they know people get, you know, share it around because it's just a really easy way to get clicks. So are you looking to, with this point you're making and the point you made earlier about the Guardian are probably the best at kind of being socially aware about it, are you looking to defend the Guardian there

because it's the newspaper you read the most? No, no, I think they get a lot wrong but I think also, but I just I would always credit people who work for The Guardian to have more of an idea about what a meme is, how easily things are shared, how stupid people sound. Could you do a meme consultancy, do you think? I think so, yeah.

I've got guys, look, why are you posting this? Because people are going to take the piss. I think it's they're having their cake and eating it a little bit. I'm the man, what am I doing here? I'm the man here to sort this out because you couldn't avoid memes.

You couldn't avoid memes. But the best summary so I do probably read the Guardian online as much as any other paper probably because I'm a pervert.

It's not being a paywall I suppose. Exactly. I'm a pervert. I've got the Washington Post and New York Times. I'll pay for that. And one or two others.

But The Guardian I read as much as. And the best summary of The Guardian I've heard was Alan Partridge in This Time. Right. Where he interviews a journalist from The Guardian played by Matt Smith. And he says something like, and I'm going to get this wrong,

but I'll try and get the quote as accurate as I can. He says, the problem with The Guardian is they think they're normal because they've all got three letter names like Tim, Tom, Ben or Dan and they've got two kids

in a messy hallway. Yeah. That's basically it. Yeah, it's a lovely take down. Yeah. Completely agree. And I think sometimes they're just not as aware

as perhaps they could be. But then maybe people would say that about us, Peter. Maybe people would say that about us. The amount of times I fall for a meme that's been shared too many times or a fake story. Well, maybe they think that you and I

sat in here in this ivory tower of a studio running the rule over everything and being totally out of touch with what real people's lives are like. I mean, I'd be saying for one, ivory, terrible sounding to let. We would not want to make a sounding to let out. Yeah. We would not want to make a studio

out of Ivory. No. Terrible. I mean, it's probably quite difficult to get hold of in that scale as well.

I guess so, yeah. And of course, you know, if you think about the problems, the implications of the Ivory trade

are severe. Even if you went around, I mean, you could probably make it if you went around to every airport and sort of

went, you know those little display cases you have where it's like don't fucking have in a lot of African countries at the airport you always have like

loads of displays of ivory this is what ivory looks like don't take it people try to smuggle chess pieces and piano keys and stuff and yeah and I sort of think

well give us all of that and we can make a little ivory tower what would you do in the ivory tower though cut about play video games put an elephant in it

art let's have a break we're back with Luke and Pete Shaw on a Monday you said that like you were unsure is this what I'm doing today

that's what they said to me I mean if you've ever heard any of my output over the past 15 years I'm always surprised I've heard lots of it I'm always surprised I I've heard lots of it.

I'm always surprised. I was listening to local radio. BBC Cambridge was doing I think some kind of scavenger hunt in Great stuff.

Like but he had this main host and he just he would just go missing for like a good 30 seconds and then come back on the mic and go

Sandra can you can you, uh, can you... And there'd be phone calls and the phone calls would be really low in the mix. And I was like, defund them. Defund BBC Radio Cambridge. That was an absolute mess. They have done. And he kept on doing, yeah, they have.

And they keep on, and he kept on doing like really aggressive double entendres about like, he was quite camp and he played up to that quite a lot. And I think it was something to do with some kind of local performance of, of like, you know, with a twanky, like what do you call those things?

With a twanky. Like a pantomime day. Yeah. I think he was sort of playing up to being like a pantomime kind of character, I think. But like every time. They do come in halfway through though. Yeah. Okay. But it was literally five minutes of firemen. character I think but like every time did you come in half way through though yeah

ok but it was literally five minutes of a fireman she's found a fireman oh we like firemen don't we

and I was just like what is this and then I switched over to I was on the corner of BBC Leicester I think and so I switched over to that

where were you I was doing laps laps around the RSLs and I switched over to BBC Leicester and they had the exact same playlist on they were playing Where were you? On BBC Peterborough. I was doing laps around the RSLs. And I'd switch up the BBC lesson. And they had the exact same playlist on. They were playing the exact same Christmas song at almost the exact same point. And they just had a normal DJ on.

So they were playing the same music. They've clearly got a plan of how to do the music. But yeah, they were just playing. So when you listen to Absolute Radio, and Absolute Radio 90s. They almost never do impromptu OBs from theatre. No. Because they've just got someone on the end of a phone.

But Absolute Radio 90s, sometimes I'm listening to it, because I like the music on Absolute Radio 90s, and it gives me the Absolute Radio presenting. Yes, it does. But what they do is just never mention the songs. Yes, at breakfast time or drive time, they never mention the songs, because they just put the music

of the decade that you want to listen to it in that's quite good that's clever it's very clever and just think of the timings

you've got to think of the songs that have to be roughly the same time every time exactly but the things you've got to

match them up you used to be called project banana what's the banana got to do with it I don't know I guess it's kind of

it's multi-purpose it bends it bends time it annoys me the amount of times you hear of a project or an operation with a name and it's like you it's multi-purpose it bends bends time it annoys me the amount of times you hear of a project or an operation with a name

and it's like you've missed the opportunity there it could be much better than that what Operation Spooky Boy it could be more interesting

than like Operation Falcon just do a half an hour just do a half an hour brainstorm yeah of a name for the operation

or the project that's got a lot of layers to it. But it's always just something that makes them sound cool. Like the Cobra

meetings and stuff. Yeah, but Cobra stands for something else, doesn't it? It's like an anachronism. But it's an anachronism that

they've chosen to use though, isn't it? It's just a bit silly really, isn't it? It just makes it sound sexier than

it is. I was trying to think of what I would have done if I was doing that absolute radio project. I can't think of

one. Maybe they're right. Project Spooky Boy would have been good. Project Spooky Boy. Maglev. Because you know how the maglev trains

kind of move. I know what the maglev train is, mate. It sort of floats on... Magnetic levitation. Magnetol. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, it floats on magnets and obviously it sort of slips very smoothly,

seamlessly between one thing and the other. I would have called it Project Maglev. It works. It works. Probably copyrighted though, maybe. Maglev? Nah. Magnetic levitation.

You can't copyright that, surely. Proprietary technology, surely. Where have they used it? Fucking Beijing. That's it, isn't it? I don't know. What I was going to say about local radio though is that they have defuncted it

and it is going to become a lot less local ironically yeah good in that case BBC Radio Cambridge good I mean you've got to

judge it on its merits maybe the guy on Cambridge is letting everyone down I wouldn't disagree with you on that but I loved local radio when I was a kid it was like the thing

that got me into radio really yeah same here yeah so it's a shame to think that people won't have that connection with their local area it's a really important part of people won't have that connection with their local area. It's a really important part of the community.

Oh, you know what? I don't think it was BBC Radio Cambridge. BBC Radio Cambridge was David Webster and he had Living Joy's Tameka Starr on. Now...

Well, Living Joy, I'm a dreamer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. She's back. She was in Atlanta. She was having a nice time. What time of day

were you listening to it? So David Webster was on... So it wasn't David Webster on BBC Radio Cambridge. I have to apologise. I think it was BBC Radio Peterborough. Is that having a nice time. What time of day were you listening to it? So David Webster was on. So it wasn't David Webster on BBC Radio Cambridge. I have to apologise. I think it was BBC Radio Peterborough. Is that a thing? Maybe. What day was it?

It was yesterday. It was yesterday in the 10 o'clock slot. David Webster, he looks like a... Oh, yeah, I can see that now. He used to be in a book club and all sorts of people, according to this. Yeah, no, I think he's fine. He was good.

Well done, David. Not the plug you would have wanted. Northampton, maybe. Are we talking about Northampton? I think he's fine. He was good. Well done, David. Not the plug you would have wanted. Northampton, maybe? We were talking about Northampton, I think. BBC Radio Northampton, is that a thing? Yeah, that's a thing, isn't it? Yeah. Can I just ask again, what were you doing there?

I was just driving through. But you don't live anywhere near there? I was driving down from up north, wouldn't I? Oh, okay, right, fine. Should you? Yeah, no. Anyway. Never mind. I'll figure out who it was and let you know who's the nightmare. I don't think people will care. driving down from up north won't I oh okay right fine anyway never mind

I'll figure out who it was and let you know who's the nightmare I don't think people will care let's do battery brands before we go

Peter alright then otherwise producer Rory will be very upset because he's got a whole he's got firemen he's got firemen

firemen why do they like firemen because they're muscly and according to a recent inquiry

racist and they've got big hoses and according to a recent inquiry racist right batteries what about what about an NX PowerTech as a potential newcomer to battery corner I used to work for a mobile phone recycler

and one corporate customer sent a few hundred phones in some totes. And one of the totes also contained these batteries at the bottom in some totes. Hoping for a new player as an early Christmas present. Keep up the good work, Phil. Free batteries being sent in by punters. This is lovely.

Recursive hunting. I think we all love the way you say the word tote. Tote. Yeah. It's like when you said the word... Do you remember? Tote way you say the word tote. Tote. Yeah. It's like when you said the word... Do you remember? Tote's toast... Do you remember Tote's Toasties?

No. They were socks. Tote's Toasties. Tote's Toasties. They were socks. Do you need a hard reset? What's happening here? I've got a cold.

I'm not feeling very well. Tote's Toasties. Why are you saying socks? They were socks, but they were T'm not feeling very well. Tots Toasties. Why are you saying socks? They were socks, but they were Tots Toasties. They were Toasties socks. What are you doing? I don't know.

Rick, you're finding bloody battery. I thought Toasties was a sandwich, isn't it? No, they were Toastie warm socks. Oh, they keep your feet Toasties. Yes.

They're called Toast Toasties. He didn't put his foot in a cheesy toast. I will tell Phil in a minute whether he's got a new pair or not, but I just want to say do you remember once

we were sat in the same studio and I had a glass of lemon water right and it had a lemon pip in it that had come out of the lemon

obviously okay and you you look it's just you and me in the room and you looked over and went

you've got an aught in your drink and I was like what I've never heard that word before you've got an aught in your drink and And I was like, what? I've never heard that word before. You've got an aught in your drink. And I was like, what do you call a lemon seed? An aught.

And you went, no, an aught. It looked like an aught. And you were basically saying an oat. Oat, yeah. And I was thinking, one, why are you saying oat like that? Because we haven't met each other long before that. And two, why would you think there'd be an aught in a glass of water? And I've said it before, it's because you look a bit oaty.

You look like... You just came off me. Yeah, if there was like a kind of line-up and who left the oat on the floor, and it was me and you, they would definitely go, because you look a bit like a farmer. They'd say, that man's got a jumper

where it's knitted of porridge. It's definitely him. He looks like he's no stranger to an oat. Anyway, Phil, thank you for getting in touch. And NX PowerTech. You are the third person to send those in. Our friends Craig and Adam separately sent those in in July of last year and June of this year.

So only the third time we've seen that one, but therefore Phil's not a new player, I'm afraid. Unlucky, mate. Never mind. We got a message from Ian. Just bought a solar light. A lot of those kick around our house. Why does it need a battery then?

Good point. Maybe a remote control, possibly? I don't know. Just bought a solar light and found these for the remote. I said it was just for the remote. Penis a mig. Penis Amig. Penis Amig. Can you spell it for me, please?

P-E-N-E-S-A-M-I-G. Penis Amig. Ian, you are the fourth person to send those in. The first person was... There's some great names. Do you want to hear the names of the three people

that have sent Penis Amig in before Ian? Come on then. If I said these names to you, you'd think I've made them up. In April of 2021, Josh Waddy sent them in. Josh Waddy, okay, right. On February 4th of this year, Andre Quaggio sent them in. And on 28th of November this year, just a week or two ago, Stuart Gunn.

Stuart Gunn, I like that a lot. So Ian, you are the fourth player and therefore not a new player with Penis of Migg I'm afraid never mind never mind got a message from

Jacob multiple entries in this one so head on guys well just pick one of them he can't have more than one because he's not four on the other so just pick one

alright I'm going to go four I'm an avid stack listener started in 2020 doing laps of Albert Park in Melbourne while listening to the back catalogue of

The Luke and Pete Show, Wrestle Me, A Brunch Man, Jack May's Happy Hour and many, many more podcasts. Today, I said enough! Stop procrastinating. I've listened to too many

battery entries so I got my screwdriver and started opening all the baby toys and remote controls I have access to while praying that I could find an unknown battery.

Jacob, please do them back up again. We are not getting involved with a baby swallowing a battery. No, definitely not. And imagine if it was really valuable, like a valuable new player.

Yeah. Yeah. If the surgeon is removing it from your child and he goes, oh, it's a new player. I'm going to put that in the Wikipedia. Submit it. Anyway, I've only submitted it.

Yeah. And now it's in my baby's belly. Right. Let's go for the one that was in the home thermometer because I think this one's probably the most valuable. Would you want to tell me what it is? NEP.

N-H-E-P. I want to say NHEP, but you're saying NEP. Oh, NHEP, yeah, probably. Yeah, nickel, cadmium, cadmium, bleh. Yeah. Jacob, you are...

Hepatitis. This is powered by hepatitis. Jacob, you are the second person to send that in, I'm afraid. Paul Ardis sent that in on April of last year. So sadly, you are the second person to send that in, I'm afraid. Paul Ardis sent that in on April of last year. So sadly, you are not a new player. No new players this week.

Sad to see. It hasn't happened for a while, actually. Yeah. Very, very sad to see. I do appreciate the work that Jake has put in to send photos in of every single one

of those batteries, including the toy. But we're not going for all of them because it's not fair on everyone else. That toy robot that he found a candle in looks like a lot of fun. It looks like the back of the toy, but also the front of the toy. Fascinating. everyone else, mate. That toy robot that he found a candle in looks like a lot of fun.

It looks like the back of the toy, but also the front of the toy. Fascinating. It does, actually, yeah. What's going on there? Very interesting. Pete, on that bombshell, I think it's time we left. Yeah. You've got some local radio sleuthing to do. I just can't find...

The BBC Sounds website for local radio is very confusing. Do you know how many local BBC radio stations there are still I think there are Berkshire Bristol Cambridgeshire Cornwall

CWR Cumbria Derby Devoness Scots Guernsey and Herford Worcester

keep going that's only H Humberside Jersey Kenton Lancashire Leeds and Lady

Radio Leicester Lincolnshire London Manchester Merseyside, Newcastle, Norfolk and Northampton, Nottingham, Oxford, Sheffield, Shropshire, Solent, Solent, Dorset,
