Come with us on a journey that is only limited by our imaginations.
Unluckily, me and Luke have very tawdry imaginations.
I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Luke Moore.
This is Luke and Pete Shaw.
Monday the 9th of April, a recording time of 11.55.
How are you doing, Luke Moore?
You all right, mate?
You all right?
I'm good.
And it's the 19th, not the 9th.
But also, when you use the word limited, I agree.
Limited is exactly the word I would use for my imagination.
Your motivation or your imagination?
My imagination.
Oh, right.
OK.
So what's the craziest dream you generally have?
Is it all very sort of boring, kind of,
I've got to do the washing up
before the cat walker comes round or something?
Do you have cat walkers or not?
No, they walk themselves, those two fellas.
They don't do enough walking
by the size of them at the moment.
I've not fed them any more food,
but for some reason they are still refusing
to lose their winter plumpness.
Is that a thing, a winter plumpness?
One of my dogs had a haircut,
and that hair was hiding a multitude of sinful sins
because she's a little chunker.
Very enjoyable.
You've also just described my beard.
So cats will go almost completely, not hibernation,
but they'll go really slow pace
and they will sleep all day and all night in the winter,
in my experience.
Because it's actually a bit of a myth that they're nocturnal.
They're not really.
They're active at dawn and dusk.
And they sleep a lot.
But in the summer,
it's completely normal for me to,
or for us to not see them for a couple of days
because they'll be out all the time.
So I think they do tend to work off a little bit of that weight,
and obviously they molt a lot and lose a lot of that fur for the summer too.
But yeah, I can't remember your original question.
Was it about me dreaming?
Yeah.
What's the wildest dreams?
My dreams are...
Do you ever get that one where your teeth fall out?
Yeah, teeth are falling out.
Sort of radio, DJ, anxiety, dreams, that kind of standard stuff.
It goes along with your job, doesn't it, I suppose, a lot of the time?
Or the job you once had.
Yeah, the anxiety one is the one where you're worried
that you're not going to be back at the desk in time
for the song to run out, right?
Yeah, no, but I did that frequently.
I don't care about that.
I did that all the time.
What is yours then?
Yeah, no, it's a bit, well, it's just like the boss is there
and I can't think of anything to say properly
in the time frame that it needed to be said.
All the system's going down and it's just all going to shit, really,
which it frequently did, to be quite frank,
and the boss was
frequently in the building
awful awful business
but you would normally
probably just put
Bohemian Rhapsody
on CD on right
and then that's alright
you're away then
the emergency tip
yeah you got
eight or nine minutes
for that
so it's been a weird week
I mean
it's Monday
and we're doing this show
basically hours after a big European Football League change has been announced slash mooted.
And a major footballing power team has lost their manager.
And also Prince Philip's funeral was over the weekend.
And also all the pubs you could go and get pissed in the pub garden.
It's been
a busy week hasn't it really we're fitting quite a lot in lockdown's ended we're getting a lot of
stuff done aren't we it's like the curator of the universe the simulation that we all live within
has decided okay we've given them like a year of nothing what would happen if we gave them like a
year's worth of stuff in a day of everything everything. Yeah. Exactly. How would they react, the little slugs?
They'd probably go,
has everyone left the studio for the ramble yet?
Can we get them back into it?
I went to the pub on Friday.
Oh, hello there.
Did you have fun?
I had a lovely time, actually.
And shout out to the Northcote Arms in Leighton,
which is my best friend Jimmy's local.
You know Jimmy, Pete.
That's a long trip home, isn't it?
From Leighton. Well, it's not too far from the office, though, is it?
True, true.
I jumped to the cab.
Did you sleep in the office?
Yeah, jumped to the cab, to the pub from the office,
and I've been in the office ever since.
No, I got the tube and train home, so that was fine.
But actually, it was a really well-organised affair.
Northcote does amazing pizzas as well,
which are very competitively priced and because
it's like a proper local pub it wasn't over you know overwhelmed with people it wasn't a big queue
my mate jimmy who's a local he booked us in um competitively priced pint of guinness four pound
ten which for london's fantastic lovely i had a great time i had five pints of Guinness. That was enough for me. And spent the rest of the weekend feeling like absolute shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, I had a few, surprise few, on, God, what would it have been?
Thursday, actually.
I wasn't planning on being on the Ramble Patreon video,
but I'd already planned to have a few.
And then I was told I was needed for that.
And I had to run back because I thought I had enough time. And I to have a few, and then I was told I was needed for that.
And I run back because I thought I had enough time,
and I did have enough time, but I'd forgot my keys.
So the first five minutes of the show was me running through the canal waterways of the UK
to get back to my house.
I had a conversation,
because one of my regular catch-ups with Finn,
who works with us, our colleague Finn,
and I asked him how it went, and he said,
it was absolutely brilliant, this live stream,
for Ramble Patreons, because Pete legged it home
from the pub, live on the stream,
forgot his keys, ran back to the pub
to get a key or something,
and there was a fight in the pub.
There was a fight in the pub.
Which is amazing.
We should be releasing that on YouTube.
We'll get a lot of hits there.
I think it's still on YouTube somewhere.
What, the fight?
Yeah, I think Finn...
The altercation was happening when I was filming.
It was like Smack My Bitch Up.
Yeah, it sounds a bit like that.
A very parochial version of Smack My Bitch Up.
He does admit the very important thing
that how I got my spare key out of the garden uh is that um
next to my uh somewhere around my garden i'm not going to tell you where because in case someone
knows where i live um there is a key hidden right to one of the doors to my house and to get it you
need to stab it out of the fence how did you get it in there it's it's in the fence i jammed it in
the fence and the only way you can get in it in there? It's in the fence. I jammed it in the fence.
And the only way you can get in it is by sliding something very, very thin
between fence and post.
Nice.
And I've got a knife, basically, for this purpose,
also secreted around the garden.
So half of the stream has been stabbing a key
out of a fence,
like an old graphic adventure game
that's gone very wrong.
It doesn't make any sense.
The way you've just told this story
has made me feel like I'm picturing you
in a witness box in a court.
Also, I was just going to say that
I think I speak on behalf of a lot of our listeners here
where I think of you, Pete,
when you're not in the office or you're not working
or you're not immediately in my purview,
I just think of you sat on the canal drinking a can of lager.
I don't drink a lot unless it's real organised booze,
and to be quite frank, over lockdown, yes,
I have flirted with a 24-can crate of Tisky, fine.
I may have seen those off,
but I kind of generally stick to Fridays and Saturdays.
I don't generally drink during the week.
You're a traditionalist.
I'm a traditionalist, but it's been very pleasant.
The weather's been very, very lovely.
Don't it get cold, though?
After about five or six o'clock,
laws of diminishing returns anyway
would dictate that it would become less fun.
But, yeah, it really does get a lot less fun very, very quickly.
I left the pub at ten-ish on Friday
because, honestly, it was just too cold.
To be sat in one place outside
with no ability to go inside really apart from to use
the toilet it's just not conducive it's not conducive in the summer it's going to be great
but at the moment it is not conducive yeah even with heat lamps and and and and i think that wasn't
what the funny thing it's not funny the horrible thing about the argument was that um in the pub that um the bloke it was all over a chair he wanted to sit
down right my point was at the time he he was he was a disabled guy he had a wheelchair and and it
wasn't about accessibility it wasn't like a thing he just wanted he just wanted a chair that he
hadn't uh ordered but they'd but they didn't have the space for it because it was already a chair
if you know what i mean so yeah the pub probably was at fault, I think, or he was at fault.
Either way, I think all sort of sympathy for the chap
kind of very much disappeared when he said to the very openly gay
proprietor of the pub,
you think that you'd have a bit more respect for disabled people
owing to your condition.
Did he really say that?
It's a strong bit of work. That's a strong bit of wow that's a strong bit of work i wasn't
sure what the tenor of the argument was at this first place i wasn't really sure it was it was
something about chair it was about his chair but but the problem was they'd been banned before for
causing trouble so it wasn't even about the chair i was very confused about how it was all going
but he made it about the chair and then came out with that absolute doozy. And I was like, wow, that's got strong.
I think everyone can agree, though,
that the last thing they needed was for you to go in there
with your car keys in your hand, windmilling everyone.
With a knife, yeah, no, it was unwelcome.
Saying, I'm late for a Patreon live stream.
Listen, you lot, I'm fucking locked out, so get over it.
Help me.
That is insane.
That's crazy.
What a thing to go on.
Absolutely wild. I would love to have known what a thing to go on absolutely wild
I would love to have known
what the hell was going on
I just couldn't figure out
whose side I should be on
until that guy said that
and I was like
I'll be on that side
don't you end most days
like that though
thinking I would love to have known
what was going on today
can I change the subject
ever so drastically
and ask you a question
because I found out a piece of trivia
this weekend that blew my mind to pieces right there's a lot as a study done about um the the
amount of tyrannosaurus rexes the amount of t-rexes that actually lived on earth right
how many do you think?
Five.
Check it out, though.
This is amazing.
Think of the cultural impact the T-Rex has had.
I would argue, you know, alongside your humble Velociraptor,
the T-Rex has had the biggest cultural impact of any dinosaur.
Is that fair?
Yeah, it's the biggest boy.
Are we saying that the pullback we saying that um the pullback and
reveal here is there are going to be far fewer than you actually realize because they were
concentrated in one area well i'm just going to ask you a question how many do you think a
scientist best guess was the the amount of t-rexes that lived on the earth
i mean you can only have a limited amount of space
for an animal that big that's going to be consuming that amount.
I think 50,000.
Is that your guess, yeah?
That's my educated guess.
If I was sort of going to play it in your hand, that's it.
What's educated about it?
You've just parked a number out the air.
All right, yeah, fine.
Okay, uneducated guess.
But all right, I've thought about it,
which is more than most would do to one of your questions.
The answer is 2.5 billion.
Whoa!
Yeah?
According to a calculation method used in a peer-reviewed paper
on April 15, 2021, in the journal Science,
during 2.4
million years of existence on Earth, a total of 2.5
billion T-Rexes lived.
It's ridiculous.
Listen, that's going to blow people's
minds, the people listening, right? And the key
here is the fact
that dinosaurs roamed the Earth
for a very long period of
time when compared to their human
counterparts, right? Oh, right.
Okay, so this isn't...
It's not like at any one time
there would have been two billion of them.
They weren't just shoulder to shoulder.
Well, I've just...
I've just never seen them fucking in a film.
And we've never seen two T-Rexes going at it,
hammer and tong.
How would they?
Because their arms are so small.
And their tails are very kind of thick and tong. How would they? Because their arms are so small. And their tails are very
kind of thick and muscular.
Yeah, how would you, would one of them have to
roll on their back? That's the thing, see,
and this is something that occurred to me as a
kid, and I'm going to say it again now, because
this is the vehicle, and this is the platform for this Carper Chat,
right? I understand
that if
you have a complete T-Rex fossil, let's stick
with the T-Rex, a complete T-Rex fossil, let's stick with the T-Rex, a complete T-Rex fossil
at the Natural History Museum.
Fine. The penis
is not a bone. We know that. So it's not
going to appear in the skeleton.
Talk to me about artist impressions. You never
see a penis. No, you never see
a penis. Why is that? Why have they not added them
in? Is that because kids
love dinosaurs and it's not appropriate? I mean, it's a
penis. It's got to be included.
I heard that Denver, the last dinosaur
of the cartoon, got up to
no good in the 80s.
He's our friend and a whole lot more,
as the song says. Exactly.
Friends with benefits.
That's all I'll say.
We understand Jurassic Park
was all female dinosaurs. Fine. They've got
out of that. But in real life,
artist impressions that are used
for scientific purposes in schools,
for example,
I think you should be seeing a penis.
Pete, you've spoken very eloquently
in the past about elephant breasts,
for example.
Elephant breasts, armadillo boobies, yeah.
Yeah, where's the T-Rex equivalent?
Where's the T-Rex titties?
Where's the T-Rex testes?
I feel short-changed because a T-Rex titties? Where's the T-Rex testes? I feel short-shanked because a T-Rex set
of bollocks would probably be
gigantic. It'd be magnificent. It's like when
the last
Transformers film, the camera swung around
and there were just two gigantic
Transformer
testicles kind of dangling around.
I haven't seen that, but that cannot be true.
Is that true? I believe that was the case. Yeah, just a little joke for around. I haven't seen that, but that cannot be true. Is that true?
I believe that was the case, yeah.
Just a little joke for everyone.
Really sort of, like, you're going all the way and you're suspending your disbelief
that trucks can become killer robots from space
that somehow look like 80s trucks in America.
And, yeah, and they just decide to put little testicles.
That's so strong.
What, are they metallic?
I don't know.
I just remember reading about it.
Somebody, speaking of dinosaur bits and pieces,
there is a guy who makes, I think, like 3D,
three-dimensional representations of famous kind of cartoon characters,
genitals, what they look like effectively.
And Nintendo, I think last week,
did a cease and desist on a bloke who's raison d'etre,
reason for getting up in the morning and main financial income was making Bowser cocks,
like 3D representations of what Bowser's cock would look like.
Financial income?
Yeah, he was making it. He was selling off
these 3D
models of
Bowser's wanger.
Has he got a lot on
this guy? No, I don't
know. Can he perhaps
think about using his skills for good?
Yeah, the fan artist
suspects that Nintendo is behind the
notice saying that he needs to stop uh aqua arcade is a 3d modeler who uh makes not safe for work art
for source filmmaker which is a kind of like a an interactive kind of like animation creation
software based on the i believe half-life uh engine and uh yeah somebody just um what i mean
it's it's magnificent what he's, it's magnificent what he's done.
It is magnificent what he's done.
But, yeah, this guy, Akua Kid, has been served a legal cease and desist saying stop making representations of the world's most evil.
Is he a dinosaur? Is he a turtle?
I don't know what the hell Bowser is.
What actually is, I mean, I know what's happening.
You're reading that story
and thinking,
thereby,
but for the grace of God,
go I,
because that's the easiest path
you could have travelled down,
no?
No, could have been.
Look,
I have grounding
in 3D modelling.
That's what I did
some of my specialisations
in my university degree.
There's the...
There's the...
Yeah, it's quite realistic.
Oh, look, it's quite realistic article oh look
it's got
a kind of studded
like his belt
you know the belt
he's got around his neck
and hands
that's kind of like
I suppose you'd call
a cock ring
and it's kind of
restricted the
it's restricted the
the blood flow
to his penis
so it's
it's very veiny
and it's got kind of
hardened thorns
on it
just I mean if someone said whose penis is that I'd say it's Bowser's so he's very veiny, and it's got kind of hardened thorns on it. If someone said, whose penis is that?
I'd say it's Bowser's, so he's done a lovely job.
If someone said to you, whose penis is that?
If someone said to you, whose penis is that?
You'd say, where did you get that picture?
I've got the only thorns in Thornbury.
That is incredible, Peter.
That is absolutely incredible.
By the way, speaking of the animal world,
there's an animal I say discovered.
I didn't discover it.
It already was there.
I found out about, called a colugo.
C-O-L-U-G-O.
It looks like a throw.
Yeah, I saw it of instagram um post or something
you say it looks like a throw you'd put over it looks like a dog it looks like a dog in a blanket
doesn't it it does a bit and it's um so it's arboreal which basically means it's like the
scientific word for saying that it kind of lives in the trees and floats around and it's um it's
a gliding mammal so it looks a bit like a flying squirrel but much cuter
but when you actually look at them a little bit um more closely look a little bit like aliens so
the top of them is furry and the bottom of them is like completely pink a bit much like the bowser
penis you just showed me and the thing that got me thinking was that i'm 40 years old now and i have
i think you back me up on this Pete an active interest in the natural world
I would say, I'm someone who likes
watching programmes about it, I like
reading about it, I've always been obsessed with it
since I was a kid, how am I still
discovering animals that I never knew existed
before, that is an amazing
kind of
revelation about how big
the animal kingdom actually is
Yeah, well I think when you sent that picture, the look and picture is yeah well i think um when you sent
that picture the lucan peach show whatsapp group i think that was the first thing i thought i thought
like why why are we just why is this a new one like why is this why is this kind of why have i
never seen this before because i'd probably remember that a little animal looks like a
throw i'd remember a little animal it looks like it's got its own integrated kind of dog blanket
to it it's cracking absolutely cracking i also um yeah it looks like it's got its own integrated kind of dog blanket to it it's cracking, absolutely cracking
it looks like it's basically
a kind of rat that's had
a little
artisan blanket
that's knitted at some kind of
hipster market
stuck on its feet
but I also saw a video straight
after that of a hippo swimming
chasing a boat, and
goodness me, I had no
idea how fast they swim.
It doesn't look possible. It just simply
does not look possible
for something that weighs over a ton
to be able to go that quick.
It was absolutely terrifying.
Does it manage to get a tonk on it?
Does it manage to take a chunk
out of it? Those videos on Instagram that you get in the search
button they always tease you and they just stop
don't they because they want you to click more
it's a pain in the arse actually because I'd like to see a little bit of a
conclusion to things like that but
sadly modern life does not
like it man so I can't
let's have a quick break and when we come back
we'll do some emails Pete does that sound alright to you
sounds good
alright we're back, we'll do some emails, Pete. Does that sound all right to you? Sounds good. Sounds good.
All right, we're back with the Luke and Pete show.
If you want to get into the show, it's really simple.
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the way to do it.
Luke, have we spoken about Alan's euphoric feeling?
I have no idea what that is.
Well, it's the first email we've got on the list here.
Euphoric feelings we talked about,
and, you know, those things that are just so bloody satisfying.
Again, like Luke, I suggested the feeling after you remove one of your shin pads
is one of the greatest feelings you can experience.
So, Pete, I said it was when you...
The reason it came about is because I said
that it was when the astronauts touched down
and haven't been in space, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And I posited, after a long long flight getting to your hotel room,
nothing better.
Oh, yeah, very nice.
Getting a shower or something.
Oh, lovely.
But having run around for a while, that release of pressure
and that sort of, depending on which ones you've got,
those ones that kind of like stick to your leg,
that release of pressure and reintroduction of air
to your sweaty shin
is a feeling like no other i imagine it's kind of akin to like getting a cast taken off i remember
when i got my elbow elbow cast taken off i was like oh my god it feels so fresh i've got a couple
i've got a couple of things on that one is that remember the shin pads you used to wear with the
little plastic slats that would go in them oh yes please they were fancy yeah you should take them
off give them a sniff.
Could never resist
giving them a sniff.
And did I ever tell you
about the time
I broke my wrist
and had the plaster cast
and the guy,
the doctor at the hospital
let me keep it?
I put it at the back
of the wardrobe
and it got forgotten about.
Was it just absolutely stinky?
Oh, yeah.
After a while,
it was like,
my mum would come
up to the bedroom,
I think she was like,
what is that smell?
We had to investigate
and it was basically
a sweat laden
plastic ass
from a boy.
Yeah,
I mean,
if you are a teenager
and your mum comes up
and says,
what's that smell?
There could be
a million explanations
because it is boys.
Could have been worse for me,
couldn't it?
Could have been worse for me.
Smell the worst.
Smell the worst.
Alan's email
about the shin pads
also talks about
PUBG
the game I was
talking about before
PUBG
yeah it's taken
a bit of a turn
PUBG
has it now
what's happened
well
like
for those who can't
remember this is
Player Unknown's
Battlegrounds
like a battle royale
game that I've
I met Player Unknown
I met him
I talked to him
about
yeah I met him
at the golden joysticks
the guy who created it.
I think he's called PlayerUnknown.
I think it's PlayerUnknown.
The main guy who was the creator.
Wow, what was he like?
He's like a madder.
Very, very level-headed multimillionaire.
I say, he must be wealthy now, right?
Yeah.
He told me secrets about a forthcoming map
and I told everyone I knew,
like kind of saying that, you know,
I was in the know before everyone else and then no one would believe me. and I told everyone I knew, like kind of saying that, you know,
I was in the know before everyone else,
and then no one would believe me.
That's backfired.
No one would believe me,
and nobody would report on it,
despite the fact I had the goods ready.
What was the secret?
There's going to be a level released in the future that is snowing
and you can see each other's footprints in the snow.
I think that level already exists.
It does now, but it didn't two years ago
when I met the guy.
Amazing.
Is that the best scoop you've got as a journalist?
No, I got some...
I can't say who it was because he works for the company.
A person told me about the little rotating circular robot in Star Wars.
You know that one?
Yeah.
I can't remember his name now.
BB-8.
BB-8.
I wonder who that is that told you that.
God.
And I told a mate, you know, under fear of death,
and I told a mate saying you're not
going to believe this
and because he didn't
have another source
he wouldn't run it
I was like mate
you could have been
you could have been
on top
knowing what that guy's
name was
I think knowing what
I know about you
I think it's an absolute
insult that people
don't deem you
trustworthy enough
to run your stories
and the fact that
film and video game
journalism has any kind of scruples
that's to need two two independent uh kind of uh i don't think people trust you after your stance
on gamergate right okay well i just i just think women should not be allowed to program or be or
write about or talk about or be in video games. I just think that's important. It's such a ridiculous stance.
It's absolutely laughable.
I don't mean to sound like I'm cheapening it by laughing,
but it is so laughable.
It's unbelievable.
Anyway, PUBG.
I was talking about PUBG.
It's taken a turn because I didn't know this
because I'm a noob, right?
I'm an absolute noob.
It just gets pwned all the time.
Do people still say that, Pete?
I don't think they say noob, do they?
Good God.
You sound like an advert for breakfast cereal or something.
Trying to get down with the kids.
I'm available.
I'm a porridge man, but you can convince me otherwise if you want.
Anyway, so I didn't know this, but every so often,
PUBG generates a new season.
As Gordon Ramsay would would say a season and basically what it
means is all the rankings for all the players is completely reset right okay normally it would pair
you up with like people of a similar ability so it's actually an enjoyable game but i think it
takes ages for that to shake out so at the moment I've just wrapped it because I'm so
pissed off about
long day at work or whatever or
taking a few hours out over the weekend to play
I'm just getting killed and I don't even know how I'm getting killed
it's so brutal that I don't even know
where the shot's coming from
so I need to wait for it to shake out
so season 11 has got me
shook. If only it was cross
play we could have a go
because I'm a PC
master race guy
it's available
cross play on
Xbox
PS4
and Stadia
I think
is it though
it's available
I can play on the PC
and you can play
on the old
is it Stadia
or Stadium
what's the Google one
Stadia
I think yeah
Stadia
yeah
no I think you can
so I see
people playing Xbox players all the time when I'm playing do you to Google one. Stadia, I think. Yeah, Stadia. Yeah, no, I think you can. I see people
playing Xbox players all the
time when I'm playing. Do you?
Yeah, you're
available, mate. I'm available whenever you fancy it.
Anyway, so I'm not
playing at the moment, no, because it's too hard. And if you
can't get a lesson from that, then you never will.
What, you're not going to
have your stats boosted by having
an old Donaldson stats booster noob-poner?
Donaldson over here.
Noob-poner, is that your login name?
Yeah, I'm the noob-poner.
I don't see how you're going to help me.
How are you going to help me?
Just, I always close the door after I've opened it.
Oh, that is a lovely tactic.
That's a lovely tactic.
You know what the pros do?
No one's been through here because someone's closed the door.
You know what the pros do? They take their shoes off and jump through the window.
Is it noticeably
louder if you've got no shoes on?
If you're not wearing shoes,
it's easier to creep up on people, basically.
Right, okay. I see. Essentially,
there's probably a 90% chance
that at some point I am going to die
from a PUBG-induced
heart attack.
It's just a big game of hide-and-seek,
and I'm in for it.
I'm in for it.
Hide-and-seek with guns.
American hide-and-seek.
American hide-and-seek.
Let's squeeze one more email in before we go.
What about this one here?
Oh, this is a good one.
It's a life hack relating to how you peel and chop onions, right?
Okay.
What do you think of this one?
It's from Alistair, who apparently is from the Netherlands
but currently lives in Gosport, my hometown.
There aren't many Alistairs in Gosport.
Move!
Yeah, well, quite.
The only Alistair I know in Gosport is a dog,
and a lovely dog he is too.
But hello to you, Alistair.
Let me know what you think of this one, Peter. He says,
been following your onion peeling and chopping
hacks and surprised the following one
hasn't come up yet. It's an absolute
game changer. Hold
a stainless steel teaspoon in your
mouth as you cut the onions
and say goodbye to those salty tears.
It's something about the metal and sulfurous
enzymes binding together.
It's just science. Thanks, Alistair.
I mean, on one hand, you sort of go, all right, well, I mean,
is it the same kind of concept as putting a silver spoon in a bottle of champagne?
Though who has silver spoons these days?
No one.
Because obviously it cuts down on the microbes and the, what do you call it?
The viruses?
What are the things that, it's a good antiseptic, isn't it? the microbes and the, what do you call it, the viruses?
What are the things that, it's a good antiseptic, isn't it?
Antiseptic? Silver, is it?
Silver, yeah.
So obviously it cuts down on the bacteria.
That's the word I was sort of grabbing for.
But on the other hand, I do sort of go,
we just get to the point where we just, like,
if you're worrying about what an onion is going to do to your eyes,
just fucking, you can't handle the onion.
Just put them away, never eat an onion again.
Go for a red onion.
Don't worry about it, mate.
Buy them pre-chopped and frozen.
You can't handle it.
I'm filing that alongside the plenty of quote-unquote cures for hiccups.
Essentially, they are designed to entertain other people
while that person's got hiccups.
They don't work.
This is the same.
You just want to...
Alastair, I think he's drunk on power.
He just likes the idea of inspiring a load of people
around the country to have stainless steel teaspoons
in their mouth in the kitchen.
Yeah, it's that Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher thing
where Noel Gallagher told Liam Gallagher that...
Liam Gallagher went around Noel Gallagher's house
and saw a spoon in
a bottle of champagne
and then the next time Noor Gallagher went around
Liam Gallagher's house he saw
a silver spoon in
a pint of milk
He might like his milk fizzy
Noor Gallagher finds that
amusing but it's the same concept
so presumably it would fucking work, no?
What, to stop the milk going off?
Yeah.
Is it not the same concept?
It would be as good, obviously, as a lid.
So are you suggesting that the science behind the spoon
stopping the champagne going flat is a bacteria-related question?
Yeah.
Because if it is, then I guess it possibly could work.
I thought it was just because
it kind of had some kind of chemical reaction which kept the co2 in the champagne that's what
i thought it's right up there with classic luke and pete shaw email folder so no doubt we'll get
an email about it next week hello luke and pete shaw.com get him in for crying out loud because
we are two rudderless idiots on a two-man boat in the middle of a lake of
ideas. And I'm worse than Pete in a
way because I have highfalutin
ideas about myself. So actually
even though I'm as much of an idiot as Pete, I'm
worse because at least he accepts he's an idiot.
Is that fair? True.
That's how you see it, isn't it?
Correct. Correct. Yeah.
Alright, on that bombshell, let's get out of here.
We'll be back on Thursday with another
episode of Luke and
Pete show in which
we will be reading
out more of your
emails and going
through your battery
brands to see if a
new player has
entered the game
and covering all
the stuff that's
been floating our
boat between now
and then
that's it from me
say goodbye Peter
ta ta
it's goodbye from
me as well.
