Hope you are having a wonderful first day, the 31st of October. Luke, as a new dad, are you finding that all of your months and weeks and days are just falling away very quickly? and we've gotten almost to November and and I don't really remember a lot of 2024 personally I'm just wondering how you how you're dealing with things yeah similar you don't remember anything though do you? No, that's a good point actually. You live in this kind of goldfish like stasis where

everything is happening exactly right now and then once it's done it's done right? I like watching this video over on YouTube of a man who has no long-term memory and he only has seven seconds of short-term memory. That's a mirror? Yeah well he was I think he was like some kind of um... I'm just watching this video on YouTube darling okay yes Peter come to bed now. Well I'm just yeah I'm just well I'm watching it and then seven seconds later I'm watching it again. The man, he's really sad, all jubilant, I don't know, it's really hard to sort of tell really but he used to be I think a concert sort of, what do you call them, weird little stick around, conductors.

Conductor. The conductor, and he was obviously a very celebrated conductor and they sort of take him round these halls, these beautiful kind of buildings in which he's performed back in the day. And he can't remember any of this. And he's only got seven seconds of memory. I think he can play the piano quite well.

But it's just really interesting kind of like, his brain almost resets. And I think sometimes it's even, he even kind of like, it's actually quite uncomfortable for him every seven seconds. even kind of like, it's actually quite uncomfortable for him every seven seconds. It kind of like, it's a very- It sounds very uncomfortable. It sounds awful. Yeah, it is awful. It's absolutely awful.

I remember reading that towards the end of his life when Ronald Reagan obviously had dementia, he used to spend hours sitting in his study staring at the mini white hat or someone had bought him as a present that was in the goldfish tank right okay because he had some vague connection to it but he couldn't make the make the connection right so he became obsessed with this little mini White House in the in the fish tank in his house yeah oh wow that's like a goddamn film maybe if they brought his great Air Force One wank pants out he could have popped them on. Whenever I mention Ronald Reagan you cannot help but mention in return

the grey tracksuit bottoms that he wore once, probably one more time didn't he? His wanky grey jogging bottoms on Air Force One then below that his celebrated film career, then under that the many strange and wonderful things he did as the president. And I use wonderful as a loose tongue. What's interesting about the Grey Wank Pants is that it's very relatable because you and I if we're away or we have to go do something for work or whatever and just stay in our hotel or whatever it may be the moment the hotel door closes you can't wait to get into a pair of trackie bottoms, can you? Yeah, I don't bring any with me

I just turn the air conditioning to a suitable temperature and just get absolutely Billy Bollocks Do you? Nah, I walk around my pants quite a lot, but that's my business I have to take a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a pair of slippers wherever I go these days. Do you ever get into bed with your tracksuit bottoms on because they the way they kind of took those the sheets in it's quite I think you can only really go in if you've got bare legs to be honest. Yeah, Harry Hill was it Harry Hill said Hotel Hotel staff Yeah, Harry Hill said, hotel staff, make the sheets so tight that if you're not careful

sometimes when you wake up you're a fossil. But listen Peter, it's Halloween today and I think a lot of our listeners will want to know just exactly how spooky you're feeling today. Well I mean it's either spooky or just a bit flabby of a way because I did buy from the Aldi Centre line, Centre Isle rather, a big ball of Halloween candy and I bought that about a month ago. They went within the week. Yeah, and then I bought another one the celebrated Spanish brand Babetto potentially Portuguese and and and and they they've gone as well, so I'm gonna have to go down to Sainsbury's and buy some more candy for the children because I

Cannot be trusted with them. Well, you get a lot of children knocking you up, do you reckon? Strange, strange, turn of phrase, but yes, we do get quite a lot of people. And it's good. Not really, I mean knocking on your door though, not pressing your ring doorbell. Knocking a little child, making me pregnant.

It just doesn't make any sense. You don't have to interpret it in that way, Peter. I will interpret it. Get your mind out of the gutter. If it's read out in court Luke just think about how that will be read out in court you want a child to knock me up and no there was there's there's quite a few people in the area who will sort of come to the door it's kind of after like 8 p.m. the

good kids disappear then you're at risk of an egg in and a flowering and you're at risk of a you're at risk of all kindsing and a flowering. And you're at risk of all kinds of nonsense. I've still not received a ladder back from one of Sarah's friends. So I haven't been able to get up onto my, the side of my house to wipe the egg. Last time my house was egged. So, so I'm-

The rain will take care of that, won't it? Well, eventually I suppose, but the proteins stick around. The proteins, they're suppose, but the proteins stick around. The proteins, they're very, very stony. Is it the shittest version of Liam Neeson's Taken ever, like a man in Leon's Sea, just whatever it takes, he needs to get his ladder back? Yeah, well lots of shops in the area don't allow, they're all part of an agreement,

a gentleman's agreement so to speak, that they don't sell flour or eggs to children over the week. Oh really? I've been thinking about my business, but first and foremost, thank you very much indeed. What do you mean? As in like, what, come and get your eggs? I'll be saying anything to anyone. I say fireworks, eggs, fags, vapes, snu. You can have it all.

Listen, as soon as my son goes to bed, the porch light will go off and they'll have no trick or treaters. Thank you very much indeed. How do you kind of signal, do you signal that you're allowing trick or treaters with a Halloween... Yeah, we've got a downstairs light. If that's on and the pumpkin's out with the little candle in it, you're welcome. You're welcome. But after that, no dice. No. It's no dice. And I also have absolutely no respect whatsoever for the sheer Tepidity of the middle-class kids who turn up at our place with their parents in tow. I'm not interested in that I want it to be children on their own with a vague undertone of threat That's what Halloween should be for me. When I was a kid. We didn't tell our parents we're doing it

We got out there. We we chucked water bombs if we had to, we begged for money rather than sweets when we needed to. Awful. It was something very kind of reassuringly feral about it. Did you ever, I think Halloween has become too, you're right, it has become too acceptable for middle class families to stroll around with beautifully put together Jojo Mama Baby costumes of an evening.

I need the kind of down at heel roughness of the guy, the penny for the guy. You don't see penny for the guys anymore. And that needs to be- It's very League of Gentlemen, it's very kind of frightening. Kids with guys dressed in last season's shell suits. The guy's got a skin mask on it.

Skin mask, yes! And a balaclava. Oh, fantastic. Why aren't kids doing the guy I'd have to see the only form of trick-or-treating I respect is three young Boys or girls. Yeah in shell suits. Yeah with a really shoddy guy in a wheelbarrow So I do skin mask. Yeah hockey mask overalls as well like Jason a hockey mask, overalls as well, like Jason, they're my type overalls, they've all got preferably a cigarette lighter

in their hand, and they knock on the door, chewing gum, and they say, trick or treat, and you know what it means. And you go, okay, can I interest you in a 20-decker bench in the hedges? They say, yes, thanks very much. Give it to them and they're on their way. Yeah.

That's how I see it. I don't want to hear about kids turning up with their parents. Oh, hello, hello. Oh, trick or treat. Fuck off. They don't even sing carols, do they? They just sort of, because after like nine o'clock you get the teenagers and what I like about the group dynamic... Oh my daughter's dressed as a zombie Taylor Swift! Fuck off!

There's like... that's too creative for where I am I think. I want to open the door Pete and go is that a real knife? Yeah. Excellent. Is that a zombie knife for a zombie or for one of your friends? Actually what I want to do is I want to open the door and the first thing I want to think is when I see what the kids holding I want to think well that's banned, that's illegal. That's not allowed yeah. Because it's Halloween, it's supposed to be frightening. I'm protecting myself from my ops they'll say, I'll say get off my yard, get off my yard. I own a samurai sword and I'll run you through good sir. Yeah, you will get a treat from me if you can prove to me you're on remand.

Speaking of scaring people, putting the willies on people, I will read the following message in an internal business slack by VGC, the video game podcast that's stacked to, a man called Chris Scullion, one of the hosts, lovely fella from Edinburgh. Amazon just delivered a tin of lychee's to me, they were addressed to me, but I never ordered them, and they're not in my past orders list. That's Halloween for you, baby.

It's Halloween. It's mystical. He's gone online on Twitter and he said, Amazon have sent me some lychee's, has anyone ever experienced something like this? And people are advising that it may be part of like a larger scam and you shouldn't ring Amazon. So he spent a little while ringing Amazon to complain about these lychee's being sent.

I, Luke, may have had a part in that particular situation because Chris on previous podcast said that he'd never had a lychee and yesterday on Twitter he said he wasn't having a good day so I went you know what I'm gonna send I'm gonna send that lad a lychee so I got his address from from his boss and sent him some lychees. Why have you made such a nice thing seem so sinister? Exactly yeah I feel now, he's been on the phone at Amazon. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Yeah, I wouldn't be doing that.

I'd just be going off, fair enough. You can't get Deliveroo light cheese in Edinburgh, or anywhere to be honest at the moment. I think they're slightly out of season, which is a real shame. What a revelation that is. You won't send me some Wagyu beef unannounced. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean-

Just put a little gift note in it so I know what's happening. So I know what's going on. Yeah. I think there's one thing, that was for Christmas by the way, and I think one thing that Christmas is uncontroversially, totally all about,

is spending all your time on WhatsApp asking millions of different people who sent you a Wagyu beef steak. Yeah, yeah. That's why I don't like Secret Santa to be honest, because I want people to know that I am thankful for the gift. Yeah, but I think the whole point of Secret Santa is over the dinner, which you obviously rarely ever attend, people kind of talk about it and say, oh, that's what it was, brilliant, so much fun, thanks very much. There is a kind of reveal afterwards isn't there? Right, okay. Yeah, well no, I don't think there is. I don't think that's part of it

to be honest. I think you clearly browbeat your employees to tell you it's giving you the gift and that's the gift of Christmas. That's just a different version of the same thing isn't it? It gets revealed when I've got one of them in a headlock. Going back to Halloween, I'll take a photo of this and give it to producer Taylor so she can put it on the socials. But the house opposite me has a Halloween display and they normally have one and I know the family, they're very nice. But this year, they've got an absolutely terrifying witch on the porch roof.

And every time I open the door to go outside, it really makes me jump. It's awful. And I bumped into the mum. I bumped into the mum in the pub on Sunday. And I was like, what are you doing? You're scaring me with your bloody witch.

Yeah, I was like, that witch you've got is really, really frightening. And she was like, yeah, the kids wouldn't me with your bloody witch. Yeah, I was like, that witch you've got is really, really frightening. And she was like, yeah, the kids wouldn't have it in the house. So we had to put it outside. Subject the rest of the neighborhood to it then. Send it on WhatsApp. I want to see a review of it. I want to review it live.

It gets caught in the streetlight. Right. And when it's dark and it's a truly sickening scene. I'll send a photo to you later and you can see it. It's pretty bad. But I won't be around for the Trick or Treaters tonight because I'm going to the book launch of Miguel Delaney's new book. What about that? Oh, how spooky is the book though? I'd like to know if there's going to be some spooky theme to the book launch itself. No, yeah, they probably won't be every single

Every single page of the book if you want to buy it on the night to get it signed has a single pumpkin seed in it That's a nice idea so you can bury the book and it can be a career in PR Yeah So you can bury the book and it can be possible. Have you ever thought about a career in PR? Yeah, put a little pumpkin, a little dried pumpkin seed in everyone's, in each page. And then if you put that in the ground, a pumpkin patch will emerge. I mean, read the book first.

It's very apt that it comes out on Halloween, the book launch, because there's nothing more frightening than sports washing, Peter. Exactly. What is the book about? So it's about- Sports washing, that's about... Sports washing. Sports washing, okay. Oh yeah, yeah.

Well, I mean, is it focusing on the Manchester cities of this world, of this world? The Newcastle Uniteds of this world? That's why I wanna know. Cause I'm very much, I'm not sure, but I'll tell you why. Because I'm very much a kind of on the invite list that says he will probably come and he'll talk a lot. So get him to the book launch, but he's not quite and he'll talk a lot. So get him to the

book launch, but he's not quite important enough to receive a copy of the book. So I can't, I can't tell you. Like my friends always say, if you know the Larry David thing about the dinner party, you need someone to quote unquote, hold the middle. Like a loud talkative person. I could see that. You put him in the middle. Yeah, that's me. That's what they all say. I'll just sit in there and just talk shit. Or as you know, like I'm tediously interested in a lot of things.

So my friends on the rare occasion we have a dinner party or whatever, I'll be in the middle of the table. Right, and you'll be conducting things. You're like the seven second member. I won't be conducting things, man. I'll just be chipping off. And the crucial part of it is not to mistake it

as saying that I'm a great Conversationalist the entire purpose of it is so the people hosting this in a party don't feel like there's too many awkward silences And it's a bit shit. Yeah, no, I think you're you're doing yourself down there. I think you are great conversationalist and I am Whenever you're on a show that I'm on I'm like I can just do my thing. I don't have to worry about knowing anything Is that because we did Robbie Knox's show yesterday? Yeah well I mean so yeah so we did a podcast Robbie Knox's The Moon Under Water which I've been listening to since it first started with John Robbins who had to stop doing the show because he is a recovering alcoholic and

chats about pubs of the mind do make it quite difficult I think. But it was quite interesting that they were recording Moon in the Water in the same room, because I think it's the production company Audio Hall was involved in, very inside baseball, it doesn't really matter. But they've got like the sets of the Ellis and John Five Live podcast show in the same room. So it felt like that, you remember when I went to Tring to go and see that man who was a cobbler and he films like a lot of YouTube content

in his Timpsons in the middle of Tring. He's like a bodybuilder. And on one Sunday afternoon went to club. This is just a confusing sentence. It's a really, really confusing sentence. I don't remember any of that. Alright, I went to New York and I went to a friend's tour and I went to Central Perk, alright? That's the sort of thing I'm talking about. You see something you've seen on the

television or on YouTube so many times and then you visit it in real life and you're like, oh it's quite small and I can see what they've done. They've done a lot with a little. So yeah. People say that about the Roundel studio, don't they? Yeah, they do. Yeah, yeah. They sort of go in and go on. Like when someone ever comes to visit. This fucking stinks. This fucking, this piss stinks of all fish. Ugh, gross.

Whenever a Discord or somebody pays for the Ramble comes over to the UK because they're from overseas or whatever, they say, I'm in town. Yeah. Can I come and see you guys? I'm like, yeah, of course. Come in. Come and see us. It'd be fine. We'd be glad to have you. They're always desperate to see the studio. And hear of the rumors that it absolutely

fucking stinks are true, which of course they are. Yeah, it's because I air out all of my gray wank pants. That's what I would do. But either Louis Theroux or John Ronson said about, I think it might have been John Ronson, who I've read many of his books, and to the point where I can't remember which one this is, but he wrote in one of his books that,

as part of the book, he visited a porn set. All right, okay, yeah. And he said that it fucking stinks. It absolutely hums. I think it's absolutely disgusting. Yeah, he didn't say that, but I'm sure he felt that. And here on a pond set, what are you all doing here? Ooh, does that hurt?

I find it, I like John Ronson. Right. I'm a really big fan of his work. I've, like I said, I'm pretty sure I've read all of his books. And I, even I, think it's remarkable that that man with that voice broadcasts. And I'm making no bones about that.

I'm trying to be as honest as I can as a broadcaster. And that is how I feel. But it is kind of like these kind of documentarians are, they just sort of float in like a, I don't know, it is like the discarded, like an old envelope, like an old empty envelope. You sort of go, all right, that's inoffensive. That's not really, but like John Ronson is like an old envelope. Like he's just passive. He sort of asks quite asinine questions and just watches his subjects

just absolutely hang themselves. Same with Louis Theroux. he's kind of like, hello, how are you doing? That's one of my most preferred Louis Theroux work is when he goes and does stuff with people who just don't know him and don't know what to make of him. I think it's not as impactful if it's a famous person who's kind of in on the joke and knows what Theroux's like. Because what Theroux can do because he's Theroux is he can probably ask two or three

quite controversial questions of a famous person, which they are also expecting. And it's not as impactful when he goes to, you know, the middle of, you know, the middle of the Midwest and speaks to some kind of fringe group who just know him as a British BBC journalist and don't know what to make of him. It's far more impactful and effective because he gets their trust really quickly and he's really gentle and like you say, he's really kind of passive. It's brilliant. That's how I feel about it.

Anyway, Peter, let's have a break because we were saying before we started recording today, we got some sensational emails and we really have to get into them, chiefly because we have to record this episode quickly today because producer Taylor's got to go somewhere else. Oh, okay. She's gonna be producing another podcast, oh yeah?

Probably, probably. Producer Taylor. She's going to go and do the moon underwater. Moon underwater, yeah. It's a good pod. Listen when our episode comes out. When's it coming out? Doesn't matter.

Anyway, we'll be back soon. Bye! Working in the trades is intense. It can be stressful and painful. Some guys use drugs and alcohol to cope. But when we ask for help, we see someone struggling with addiction. Our silence speaks volumes. See how you can help or get help at Canada.ca slash ease the burden. A message from the government of Canada. Monopoly Double Play is back in McDonald's and it's easy to get into the win.

First you peel on pack. This is me winning a universal theme park vacation. Then again in app. And me in a new Chevrolet Equinox RS. There are millions of prizes including a chance to win cash every minute in the app. And we, as promised, we returned because that's how advert breaks work. Did the Danger Dragon people enjoy it this week? The advert break? The advert breaks. I don't know, it depends on what,

I'm trying to think what we're advertising at the moment. Let me, the products that may very, very well. It's tailored to different people's locations and listenership and stuff though isn't it? Yeah it is but I mean if you're in Sweden you might get Swedish ones I think if you get Mac refresh we're doing some kind of Mac refresh advert pretty soon you can send in your MacBook have you got an old MacBook kicking around? I have actually. Right get it on Mac refresh mate. No messing around on Facebook marketplace. No worrying about people going through your hard drive. Get it on Mac refresh

for crying out loud. Anyway battery brands. MacBooks have got batteries in them. I'm reliably informed. Morning lads, Alex says. Long time listener and probably sent some garbage emails in before. I've just found a battery that I'm sure is already in the daddy but worth a shot located in a very middle class item, my golf range finder. I have found, what is a golf range finder? Lukey is that kind of like a... I think it tells you your yardage and stuff so it's easier to play your golf shots. What is that like a, how does it work?

Does it a GPS? Does it tell, does it, how does it know where you are in the world compared to your golf ball? Or I don't know, I would very much like to know. I think I'm under the impression, like it gives you a way of being able to plot your way around the course, because different clubs have different lengths.

So if you hit your 8 on 150 yards or whatever, it's helpful to know that you are, for example, 147 yards from the hole. Right. And that's what a range fire does for you. If you're quite good at golf, I think it's quite handy. I am not quite good at golf, so I've never used one, but I presume that's what it is. I might go down the range one time and just hit a few balls around.

Yes. Hang on a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Don't just say the type of things that golfers say and pretend you're a golfer. I might go down the range and hit a few balls. You've never done golf. I've never heard of you doing golf. Never swung a ball in my life. Never swung a... Don't swing the balls. That's one of the rules of

the golf range. I've never swung a bat. Do you think you should be allowed to use that kind of language then? Yeah, I might just pop down the range and hit a few balls. I'm going to chuck the pillow around with Chugsy where his fucking name was. That's a classic. Chugsy, Dogsy, Rogsy, I can't remember. Is it Chugsy? Is it Chugsy. Is it Chugsy?

Fucking prick. By the way, on that, before we get too diverted. Chucking the pill around. They're being serious then, right? It's not a joke, is it? Yeah. Well, they're like, I think, no, at that point in the video they're not. So it's basically a video that some absolute toffs did.

It's for Chelsea Lifejacket. I know them fairly well. For a lifestyle brand slash members club in Twatsville, London. Loads of rich kids with nothing to do have done this. That's what you gotta say. Chucking the pill around. And they're off to, so the video in question is the one where they go to, they go to Carnival,

aren't they? That's right, yeah, that's right. Yeah, atrocious. Some of them look so funny. But anyway. That's right, yeah. Atrocious. Someone could look so funny. Atrocious. Anyway, it's in a golf range finder, but not anymore. I've found an NX CR2 battery if these little stubby boys are accepted.

Loving the content and long may it continue. Maybe pick a throw an old school, yeah, spin! Better than ever. That was good! It's like Kate Bush released another album you're like well she hasn't done one for 13 years exactly like that yeah bang yeah it's like bigger impact I reckon more artistic for the world of music yes NXC R2 it's a stubby lithium battery but are you happy with it in terms of the

profile the battery itself I think we're allowing it these days It's one of those ones you sort of see in a rechargeable one in like a like a really weird smoke alarm on my carbon monoxide Detector I don't I don't care for them I don't know where you'd even buy that you'd need a pretty big test go no you wouldn't see that in a Tesco Express You'd see that in like a megastore only but yeah,, NX-AR2, it's recyclable, I guess everything is if you've got the right place. So yeah, well done for Alex. Is it in the Battery Daddy though? It's a brand new player, congratulations to you Alex, well done. You've got a new player into the Battery Daddy.

Alright, let's bash into, oh it looks like we're in Japan, it's Andre from Japan, we've heard from Andre from Japan before haven't we we? Hello there, look at me Pete. I was shopping down at my local at Don Quijote One of the best shops in the world and found these monstrosities Despicable me batteries I did not purchase them. We've definitely never been sent these before Peter, but I do need a ruling from you on it Yeah, it didn't purchase them. Andre from Japan did not purchase them So, you know, it's it's a real shame, but they are...

You did set Pittsburgh Steelers batteries in once. Exactly. Exactly. And I think we've relaxed the rules on... I think if the Pittsburgh Steelers batteries were resubmitted now, they'd probably be in the Battery Daddy. But let's not set a precedent in that direction. But I would say that these guys are very good looking batteries, but you haven't bought them Andre from Japan and if I know Don Quijote they would have been a quid and they would have been especially with a week yen a quid unless you're getting paid in the yen and in that case you have my commiserations Andre and but yeah it's it's a lovely set of Despigolmi

batteries I would say that those encourage children to open the battery compartments at the back of their toys to look at their pretty designs. But yeah, that's what we're looking at here. Are they in Despicable Me? No one's seen them before, I've told you that. They're new, but if you want to let them in, then it's up to you Peter. No, we can't let them in because I want to buy them and that's the important thing. But what about people who go to a hotel room and open up a remote and look at it, they haven't bought them and they're still there. Oh shit, yeah. That's really undercut the whole process, isn't it? That shouldn't be a red line, really. Alright, fine, Andre, the house has it.

Luke Mouer, Andre from Japan's battery is going in. And some good looking batteries. And it's lovely to see a bit of Don Quijote. The Pittsburgh Steelers battery owner will be fuming with this. They're gonna have to resubmit. Mike! How'd it look to Pete? So this battery submission finds you well. I've been visiting Kuang Nass in Lithuania, accompanying someone who's here for some cosmetic surgery. I had no idea that Lithuania was such a big, such a hotbed. I think we need more information on that, don't we? Yeah, like what compared to like,

Come on Mike. because you usually got a turkey wouldn't you? Depends on what it's for, isn't turkey teeth and hair I think? Teeth and hair. No you can do everything like rubber, what's the rubber band around your stomach? What's that, what's that guy? Gastric band surgery. Gastric band surgery.

I'm not getting it from you based on that. That just looks like a big elastic band around my waist. It'll work. It'll work. Five grand. But it's, yeah, I've been to Vilnius which is very good but I don't recall people coming out of the, heading for the airport with those weird kind of like hair bands that men have when they've had their ops. Yeah. Look, if it's a sensitive issue, then please don't tell us, but we'd love, we're just interested. So if there's more information to know, let it onto us. Mike's friend had a penis extension. Penis extension, Peter!

Penis! Yes, Lidl, went to Lithuania's Lidl. As soon as I arrived here, I realised the battery in my fire stick were flat. Off to the Lithuanian Lidl I go. That's where I successfully picked up some AAA Tronic batteries. A new player! Also, I'd be interested to know how many times the very basic Amazon basics have been submitted. Also, another remote here can contain a Kyoto battery, which is very enjoyable. Have we had a Kyoto yet? I thought he was submitting Tronics. Yeah, and to be fair...

Tronics are not a new player. Can we have Kyoto? We do have a rule now that actually you can only submit one per email. I'm happy to say that Kyoto are not a new player either, so it doesn't matter in this case. So unlucky to you Mike, but do let us know more information about this trip to Lithuania, it sounds interesting. Peter, do you know how many countries Lidl are present in?

Oh, are they German? They're a little lot. They are German based, yes they are. How many countries? I'm going to say 22. Oh, not bad. They're in 31 countries. 31 countries. In Europe. And I think it's just Europe and then the United States. But if you can think of a European country, they're pretty much in there, mate. Right. Okay. Yeah. Just thought you might be interested in that. I would like to sort of visit loads of different Liddles, probably for Robbie Knox, to be honest, but visit all the Liddell's in Europe and

just see how their middle aisle changes and is modified because I bought, I've been buying Aldi's got their middle aisle mate. Liddell's got their middle aisle. I don't really go to Liddell's so I couldn't tell you. Yeah you can sort of buy a little bit. But you know there's some pretty dedicated Liddl watches out there based on their Wikipedia page. The Wikipedia page has got a section which says future markets for the opening of Lidl stores. The ones that are listed are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia. The reasons given why there's going to be future stores in those countries is because some eagle-eyed observer and passionate Lidl supporter, I suppose, has noticed there's been a launched

careers page for those locations on the Lidl website. So you're not recruiting for that kind of thing if you're not going to be opening stores there, right? No, expansion. What kind of person do you think is doing that Wikipedia? Because I read a lot of Wikipedia pages, right? Just as part of a general life. And I am very, very good at spotting the type of people who have written their own, right? Yeah.

You can tell. Usually football managers, very complimentary reviews of tenures, very detailed, more detailed than like a lot of air level stuff in there that nobody would really know otherwise. But, and that's fine, but who is doing the future markets section for the little Wikipedia page with that level of insight? Future markets! It's Matt, it's Matt. Well presumably somebody from another supermarket I imagine.

What do you reckon? Who knows. Anyway, that's it for today's episode. That's it for us. I think we're going to do an email special on Monday because we've got to get through these. We'll bloody have to for crying out loud. There's some great stuff in there.

There's one absolute takedown of you coming up. Oh. Which I cannot wait for. I cannot wait for it honestly that is a real shame that's a real shame so check it out on Monday don't go anywhere bye The Luke and Pete Show is a stack production and part of the A-Cast Creator Network.
