Oh, is it Jungleist Massive?
Oh, so he's talking to all of the jungleists out there.
I think people think it's Jungle Is Massive.
I believe it's Jungleist Massive.
I don't know if you're a jungleist, if you like jungle.
Ah, well, I just need to know how big the jungleists think jungle is.
Because otherwise, why should I get involved?
If I thought it was Jungle Is Massive, get on board.
Not, hello everyone who likes jungle.
Do you want to talk about jungle?
There's no further instructions there.
I need further instructions.
It's like they're saying, listen, we need as many people as possible to tame this jungle.
It's massive.
It's massive.
We'll never.
Come and get some.
We just need to do.
There's a lot of logging to be done and a lot of raw materials to be had out of this jungle.
Don't log it.
There'll be no jungle.
Protect the trees.
Don't log it for something like beef farming.
That's not what you need.
Beef farming?
Did you say that?
Well, that's what they do, isn't it?
I think that's one of the big reasons that the Amazon's being decimated is because there's
more demand for things like cows and beef and that kind of stuff.
So they decimate the jungle to get some pasture for
farming that's essentially what a lot of it is i mean i wasn't i haven't prepped for this so i
might be wrong but i think that's what it is what i also haven't prepped for by the way peter
you haven't prepped for this little suspicion of a mustache you've got going on your top lip
little cookie duster a little cookie duster i thought this morning, I went, you know what will be fun? A little moustache.
So that's about three days moustache worth.
And I think, you know what?
Back in the day when I didn't Movember for contractual radio reasons,
I'd be happy because I actually find the people who ran it at the time at Movember a bit weird.
A bit of brew dog energy about it, isn't there?
It's a bit of Brewdog energy about it.
Yeah, I can feel that.
I understand what you mean.
So this is the first time you've done that
since you did Movember,
an anti-Movember against charity,
but you had to do it.
Exactly, yeah.
I was contractually obliged to grow a moustache.
How many other jobs could you say where someone demands that you grow a moustache?
I guess professional wrestler is probably a decent one, isn't it?
Charlie Chaplin look-a-like?
Charlie Chaplin look-a-like.
Don't get me back on the fake festival, Luke, for crying out loud.
No, will you maintain?
Because what I tend to do is when my beard gets a bit too long, obviously I trim it.
But I normally trim it on, say, a Friday afternoon.
Yeah.
I treat myself to a moustache over the weekend.
Yeah.
A little holiday for every, a little facial furnishings, sort of holiday for everyone
you love and respect.
A little soup strainer for the home life.
Yeah, exactly.
But you'll keep yours, will you?
I don't know. know now i'll probably get
born and shaved off for crying out loud we got we got we got meetings for crying out loud i don't
want to i don't want them to think that i'm in a brew dog uh real ale or something i think that
well a lot of the meetings we've got are in the us and i think people just see we'll see you and
i as eccentrically british whatever happens they're just kind of little little pat on the
head they're mad the brits that fine. You'll get away with it.
All right, cool.
Should we do an intro?
Do an intro.
It's the Luke and Pete show.
We basically talk about
absolute guffaw.
Everything for the day
and Monday.
And yeah, there's the 25th of August.
I do hope you're keeping well, whatever you are choosing to do.
And I hope you've had a good week thus far.
I've had a great week thus far.
I just got back, Luke, from your friend and mine, Malagar.
Malagar.
I've never been there.
I mean, I'm happy they want to be my friend.
I've never been there.
What was it like?
It was hot and the food was very nice
and the alcohol was delicious
and there were a lot of Brits saying British things
like the country went downhill
when they stopped putting the gollywog
on the Robinson's jar.
That was one of the
things that was said
I overheard in the
restaurant. So it's very much
business as usual
on that part of Spain. Can I pick a couple
of holes in that anecdote? Do you mind?
As has become the custom. The way you said
that is that there was only one restaurant in Malaga.
Right, okay, yeah, fair.
That's what I overheard in the restaurant. Oh, the malaga restaurant yeah exactly yeah living some kind of uh post
post kind of you know apocalyptic society where every town's only that one restaurant
yeah and um secondly you've mentioned the weather there i don't really think i've got anything to
add on that chat about the robertson's jam's obviously typical Brexit fare isn't it were you in, did you spend
a lot of your time in those bars that sell
full English breakfast and play only Fools and Horses
on the TV? We very
briefly went to a
very briefly
went to a sports bar to watch
the Newcastle United and Man City match
what a game
I watched the first half
and then went back
to the hotel
to watch the rest
on my phone
because
my partner was
finding the whole experience
disagreeable
and I cannot
I cannot say
that she
that's depressed me a little bit
that story yeah
it's a bit dismal that
it is
that's so diabolical
what a diabolical afternoon
it is
and I
wasn't it your partner's birthday
weekend as well
it was yeah yeah
and I was
and I was very much
I was very much
at the point where
I was like
fair play
nobody should enjoy
this
this is awful
it's real though
the football was
scintillating
I'm not
I'm not complaining
about Eddie Howe's
boys
I'm very much complaining about Eddie Howe's boys.
I'm very much complaining about watching a drunk British man try to buy some money that wasn't a euro.
And I don't think it was...
It might have been some kind of African currency
from a Spanish man.
Kept on going, how much is that not worth?
And he's going, about 50 quid.
And he goes,
all right,
I'll buy it off you for 20 euros.
And the man's saying,
no,
I don't want to do that.
It is currency.
I'll be able to get 50 euros for it.
What currency was it?
I don't know.
I think it might have been African currency.
And why were you involved?
I was just watching.
You know me,
I'm a people watcher.
I just love watching people.
You're terrified of talking to them,
but you like looking at them. I'm a voyeur. Yeah, I'm very much, yeah, I just love watching people. You're terrified of talking to them, but you like looking at them.
I'm a voyeur. I'm very much...
A couple of people
tweeted about your holiday in Spain, saying
that you were seen walking up and down the strip,
singing, we got Pep Guardiola
cutting the grass.
We're the richest club in the world.
Is that true?
Is that why you've got that moustache? It's like you're doing
a facial hair of a shake. Do they have moustaches? I guess they that why you've got that moustache? It's like you're doing a facial hair of a sheik.
Do they have moustaches?
I mean, I guess they do.
They've got little goatee beards, haven't they, some of them?
They do like a goatee beard sometimes, them sheiks, yeah.
I maybe said it before on this show,
but it's interesting how there was no interest in Newcastle United
further than or more than people who find the whole project baffling and humorous
because, you know, a bit of a silly club,
a bit of a tragic comedic club.
But now they've got the most money in the world.
Like, all of these people are really into Newcastle United
and they're all coming out of the woodwork.
That's how it works, isn't it?
But it's mad
isn't it
it's mad
it's a little kind of
money
being pumped
into football
creates these kind of
micro economies
for these influencers
who follow
footballers around
townside and stuff
it's a
I find it very
very interesting indeed
like peak over the top
of Bruno Gimenaich's
backyard
I thought you were
talking about Malaga
I thought you were
talking about people
just popping up
everywhere in Malaga.
Yeah, exactly.
Has Malaga got that kind of Brits abroad scene?
Oh, yeah, very much so.
Everyone was.
I mean, there was a Geordie wedding happening
in our hotel on the Monday.
But why did you choose to go there particularly then?
I'll tell you why.
Because Southend Airport only flies to two places.
What's the other place?
And I was like, if I've got to listen to the Amazon plane
coming over at 5am delivering me,
fair do, stuff I've ordered.
Yeah, it's probably your dedicated fucking delivery.
Totally lying.
Well, I am a shirk after all.
Yeah, if I've got to listen to that,
I mean, I should really get involved
and see what Southend's
got to offer
and let me tell you
fucking 10 minutes
going
getting in a taxi
10 minutes up the road
you're just
you're just at your plane
it's absolutely
bafflingly awesome
when you live
in Southend
in particular
so you could have gone to
Faro
which is obviously
the gateway to the Algarve
you could have gone to
Parma in Mallorca which I've actually been to it's very nice and you could have gone to Faro, which is obviously the gateway to the Algarve. You could have gone to Parma in Mallorca, which I've actually been to.
It's very nice.
And you could have gone to Malaga.
So you chose Malaga.
You rolled the dice.
Yeah.
And would you go back?
Not to that particular hotel in high school.
I just don't understand why in an adults-only hotel they feel the need to play such loud music.
And also, not only just have a DJ 24-7 bashing out the hits,
also have a bongo man playing the bongos next to the DJ.
What else is a bongo man going to do?
I know, but like...
So what do you expect? I'm a bongo man.
I'll never stop bongoing me.
Yeah, he's got a DJ and he's fucking doing his thing constantly
and then,
then you got the bongo man.
What's that about?
It's so bizarre.
Very weird.
I think,
I think,
I think that you are
coming across
as very,
very spoilt here.
Cost of living crisis,
you're having a nice
little holiday
and you're complaining
about it.
Yeah,
well,
you know,
yeah,
but that's the thing.
If you're going to
spend your money
on a little
three day holiday,
it's better be
fucking good.
What is there to do there during the day?
You can get on a...
You can get out and do some exploring and stuff.
You can get on a sombrero
el loco, which...
The crazy hat. Which I presume
means crazy hat.
Yeah, you just sit on this
inflatable sombrero
and a boat takes you out to sea
and tries to knock you off.
That's not an all-day thing though, is it?
At best, that's going to be all in.
That's 45 minutes.
All in.
I tried to sniff out a car boot
but it was just all clothes.
Is there a car boot culture
in other countries?
Yeah, because the old
fucking Brits are there.
That's why.
It's selling the shit.
People like me. Loving there. That's why. It's selling the shit. People like me, loving it, loving life.
I reckon people looked at you and thought, yeah, he definitely lives here.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Massive sunburn, looks terribly unwell, and he's just constantly day drinking.
Yeah.
I'm obsessed with those kind of...
So, you know I love Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
But there was a mini-season
around season 3 or 4 or something
where he went to Spain
and he did the same
old gig but with British people
who opened restaurants in Spain.
And there's loads of
scenes where he's just walking around to see
what the local area's got to offer in terms of restaurants.
It's obviously just all pie, pie pie mash and beans or whatever chips and
fucking you know burgers and uh it's funny because the reason he's doing that is to find out how he
can get the restaurant he's helping out to be a point of difference right so they can do really
local food and stuff which is kind of interesting because that's a poor business move around there
because that's not what people want no it's all british people there and secondly it's kind of interesting because that's a poor business move around there because that's not what people want.
No,
it's all British people there.
And secondly, it's really funny because like you see people sat in the terrace,
eating their burgers and chips,
their full English or whatever in Spain.
And there's a camera crew with him,
obviously.
So they look around,
I was a camera crew and you know,
people always sort of start gawping.
And then they see someone famous.
They're also quite interested.
And then it's funny because you see the penny drop and they go,
Oh,
fucking hell
he's a really good chef
I'm now really embarrassed
that I'm eating
a Fulingish breakfast
in Spain
what are you calling this
El Sosagio
yeah
they're just blokes
that are around
with lagers
and bowls of chips
and ketchup
it's good stuff
yeah it's funny
anyway
Peter you mentioned
the weather as well
back then
we're just about seeing the end of the summer now, aren't we?
What do you think?
Say goodbye to it.
You can get your big chunky knit out.
Yeah.
Walk through some leaves.
I've got big autumn and winter energy in me.
I'm saying good riddance to the summer.
It's too hot.
It went on for too long.
Yeah.
Let's not do it again next year.
Let's not do it again next year.
Well, I used my horse pipe
yesterday and i've not been following where there is a horse pipe ban or not and i only switched it
on a little bit just to give the bamboo a little a little tinkle have i committed an atrocity could
i be is it's given the bamboo it is giving the bamboo a little old tinkle
is that a euphemism
that I should know about
yeah you should
what the fuck does that mean
I was just giving it a little
putting a bit of water
into the
into the bamboo
but I used a horse pipe
and I'm just worried now
that I might be in
big old bother
my official response
to the suggestion
by Thames Water
of a horse pipe ban
is
a trillion litres
of water lost
go fuck yourselves that's my fucking that is my listen if you can guarantee me after what happened
all the covid stuff if you can guarantee me the rose garden at 10 down street is not using a hose
pipe and provide a webcam with 24 hour footage there is no hose ever being used in the garden
of boris johnson's residence i'll stop using my hose pipe ever being used in the garden of Boris Johnson's residence
I'll stop using my hose pipe.
That's how I feel about it.
Come and get me.
I'm fucking out
rotating this.
Come and get me.
You've become
Sid Vicious
in your old age.
You've become
a right right wing
rabble rouser lately.
I don't know
what's going on.
Is it the breakdown
of humanity?
I only want
I only want to be known
as extremely right wing
when it comes to garden hosepipes.
Okay, right.
Fair deal.
When it comes to hoses in the garden in 2022 in Britain,
I am as libertarian as they come.
I don't want to hear it.
I do not want to hear it.
And speaking of Andrew Tate,
he's been deplatformed now, Donaldson.
Now, he's an interesting chap, isn't he?
In that I haven't got a fucking clue who he is.
Now, I am a white man who spends most of his day on the internet playing video games and all that shit.
With a moustache.
With a little moustache.
And I should really have been served some of his videos before, no?
Am I not just absolute fertile, horse-piped ground for that kickboxing gentleman to tell me exactly what I should be like?
He's not a gentleman.
Yeah, women should be doing this and that for me.
Yeah.
I think that there's a good answer.
Well, there's several ways of answering that question.
One is I think, sadly, mate, I have to let you down gently here.
I think you might be too old for the demographic.
Okay, right, okay.
He specifically, his stuff is targeted towards kind of very impressionable teenage boys, I believe.
Okay.
Which is obviously problematic for several reasons.
Secondly, it's mostly through TikTok, which then bleeds through Instagram
and not so much Twitter, I don't think.
Right.
So I was on TikTok for about three months, just because not posting videos,
just looking at it because people kept telling me.
Just watching?
Well, yeah, I'm just watching because in every single meeting I had
for six months straight, everyone told me that podcasts should be on TikTok.
So I got involved, had a look.
I was getting served up Andrew Tate
an astonishing amount of times.
Okay, right.
So on TikTok, you probably would get it.
Outside of TikTok,
you're probably too old for the demographic.
But he's been deplatformed completely now anyway.
Okay.
Which I find really interesting
because we had a debate about this before.
We were talking about that old,
strange old chap, Milo.
Yes, Milo.
And he got deplatformed.
Now he's long gone, isn't he?
So it did actually work.
And then a lot of people will say,
traditionally, you shouldn't deplatform people.
You should kind of expose their ideas
and ridicule them and stuff.
But you said, no, no, no.
Deplatforming in this day and age works well.
Here's hoping it works with Andrew Tate
because that man is a cunt.
There's a lot of, I'm just sort of looking at my, I mean, there's a lot of sort of flirty grot on here, isn't there?
I mean, again, it's my algorithm, isn't it?
But listen, look, I mean, there's a lot of grot.
You're like that Tory politician who said, it's disgusting the amount of adverts I'm being served up for poor websites.
So it's a bit of, it's just women of certain ages saying,
aren't I hot for 39?
I was like, you're 39,
don't worry about it.
And a lot of,
I think I've said it before,
blokes who are like,
there's a culture around
sort of talking about fucking cocaine use.
Is there?
Yeah, there's these.
So you're getting served up,
women of a certain age,
you want with hardly any clothes on,
and cocaine culture.
They're trying to finish off my ticker.
They've seen the moustache,
they've gone,
this is what he's into.
Well,
it's just like,
maybe there's an algorithm.
Narcos.
Tash,
yeah,
get him involved.
Yeah,
there's these guys who will do like,
shitty,
because like,
TikTok's just kind of,
stealing audio from stand-ups,
films,
and just miming it,
and just kind of loosely basing it
around what you're talking about.
And there's a lot of guys
who will sort of just use a lot like film clips,
and they'll just do miming over the top of it,
and it'll just be about getting,
being at a house party at 6am
trying to phone up
several dealers trying to get a bag of cocaine and that's their whole thing yes and imagine that
for me because i don't even like stand-up comedy so imagine getting second-hand mimed stand-up
comedy i've never looked at the stand-up comedy industry and gone what we need here is people who aren't funny yeah doing doing my
versions of other people yeah who aren't really funny either yeah like the only exception would
say it's a kind of weird platform because i was getting served up basically women for because
they just go bloke so you want your women yeah secondly i was getting served up a lot of andrew
tate who by the way is also why is it always the case that these ultra-masculine,
super-right-wing dudes
are always simultaneously actually very camp?
He's very camp.
Is he, right?
I've never actually seen him...
Again, I've not been served him,
but I've never actually heard him speak,
and I never will now because he's been deflated from it.
It feels like there's a lot of compensatory behavior going on anyway so i get served up
him and i'd also get served up quite a lot of clips of classic comedy shows or stewart lee
stand-up who was one of the few stands i actually do okay right um and that seems to be the whole
thing and it and it it's really i mean perhaps this is a bit of a wonkish point for our listeners
but just very very briefly we have to be so careful in podcasting
about rights and the stuff we use the stuff we don't use and it seems strange to me that tiktok
is making whatever money it's making uh by the way it's also an offshoot at the fucking
chinese comments party by the way and almost certainly hugely problematic in terms of being used as a tool probably for soft power
to influence young Western teenage people, teenagers.
Anyway, that's another point.
But it's interesting how they seem to make money
off the fact that they don't have the rights to any of this stuff.
So they'll have literally 15-minute clips of fucking extras
or The Office or something or i'm adam partridge
but it'll be shared millions and millions of times but if you're but if you're on tiktok how do you
make money out of that do you make any money is it just presumably you make money on tiktok
as a creator and i'm using i think they pay you to post don't they the world's biggest um inverted
commas there um do they or is it just um i thought i
thought it wasn't there wasn't like um programmatic uh ads so to speak uh like youtube because you
obviously can put ad markers in there so you put an advert in the middle advert the start of the
end you used to get an ad when you open the app though yeah so but i presume that money just goes
to tiktok you're opening the app you've not looked at anything particular in particular but i thought
it was just like licensing deals and sponsorships and stuff like that so
how many sponsors are realistically going to go to a uh a tiktok profile that's just putting out
old episodes of of i don't know katherine tate or little britain
i think they have this thing called a creator fund where they pay certain creators to post videos
okay and they have they do have some kind of limited sponsorship i guess you can do sponsored content sponsored
posts like you can other stuff and i guess it's just merch but i guess it's just that's how yeah
i guess so i just don't i just don't know how that kind of policy work i don't know how you
make any money out of being a big old a big old tiktoker outside of the very conventional, hi guys, I've just had this new powder,
this green powder I mix in with my shakes.
What is the powder?
It's just fluff.
It's just fluff off the floor.
But yeah, did you ever used to have like,
I don't know where it came from.
It was a chocolate back in the 80s.
It was chocolate.
It was just like, it was just sweepings
it was like after they'd finished with the smarties or whatever from the chocolate factory
yeah there would just be um fragments and powder and it would just be cocoa powder that had sort of
been uh lost in the making of uh of your favorite chocolate bar is it not chocolate powder mixed in
with like biscuity stuff though wasn't it it might mean chocolate bar. Is it not chocolate powder mixed in with like biscuity stuff though, wasn't it?
Might you mean chocolate powder?
I think it was chocolate powder mixed in with sugar,
mixed in with just bits, fragments of...
I'm going to say biscuits.
I don't think there were many biscuits in my version of chocolate when I was a kid.
And you'd get a little lollipop and you'd lick the lollipop and eat it.
You never see that in caper anymore, do you?
No.
And do you remember, I used to go and get a quarter of a pound of choc nibs.
Choc nibs, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you remember choc nibs?
I remember choc nibs, yeah.
They were just little chocolate drops, weren't they?
Yeah, they were kind of, they were almost like similar kind of thing, like chocolatey
biscuit-y things.
They looked a little bit like rabbit food.
Yeah.
But you used to get them on the way home.
You'd better get them for like, let's talk about how old I am now. It was a quarter. I used to ask for a quarter. Yeah. You used to get them on the way home. You'd better get them for like, let's talk about
how old I am now,
it was a quarter,
I used to ask for a quarter.
Yeah,
I remember when they
changed to 100 grams.
30p or something.
Yeah,
I know,
it was 100.
My licorice torpedoes
or my licorice comforts
or my toasted tea cakes.
You never see
a toasted tea cake no more.
That's basically
why Brexit happened.
Have you turned
to Michael McIntyre?
What other stuff don't you see anymore?
I don't think he really sort of does that
kind of a deal. Oh, you never see school textbooks anymore,
do you? No, because you're not at school, you fucking idiot.
That's why.
Anyway, Peter, let's have a quick break. When we come back
we've got some more batteries to do, of course, because it's
Thursday. It's Thursday, battery day.
So we shouldn't
renege on those responsibilities.
So give people a little rest from these dulcet tones and we'll see them on the other side of the
break lovely we're back with battery brands and two boys named luke and peter's the lukin peter
if you've got a battery brand you found in a piece of consumer electronic ha it's hello
lukinpeter.com is the email address. You can also tweet us.
I'm sure producer Rory
can have a peek
on our Twitter page
at Luke and Pete Show.
We're kicking off
with Sean
from Whitley Bay
with one I'm fairly certain
we've heard before.
Hello lads
in my unrelenting quest
for getting a new player
into this archive of cells.
I've alerted my workmates
to the cause.
One of them, Jordan,
has possibly come through for me
Removing the power from his nephew's toy aeroplane
He's uncovered these gems
Lanauwe
Which I now present to you for consideration
It kind of sounds like something from
A person from Whitley Bay might actually say
Lanauwe
He found them, I'm submitting them
Teamwork makes the dream work
Even though he's completely betrayed us
And leaving this week for a new, better job.
If this comes off and we get a new player in the game,
then I can probably forgive him.
Sean from Whitley Bay, La Nauwere.
How are you spelling that, mate?
L-A-N-A-O-W-E-I.
La Nauwere.
Yeah, congratulations are due to the lad, Sean,
because that is a new player.
Never been sent in before
never heard of it
never seen it
to
Venga Airways
is it Venga
Lano way
to
the
danger zone
he's right on the danger zone
of the battery brands man
nice
always be careful
to yourself
Sean from Whitley Bear
congratulations to you
and your team member
Jordan
and good luck for the future.
Jordan,
Gary has got in touch.
I'm back again
with a potential new player
found on the floor
in a bar cellar
while I was delivering beer.
I love the fact.
That's like a story
you would tell your wife.
He's got the,
he's got that,
you know,
you know those big pads
you get when you're taking
a big beer barrel
off the side of a lorry
and you go poof
and then you roll it into the thing.
And he's taken a little souvenir.
He's nicked a little fuel cell.
He's nicked a battery on the way back.
Kirkland Signature.
Kirkland Signature is the name of the battery.
Possibly a new business venture from ex-Liverpool and Leicester goalkeeper Chris Kirkland.
Keep the great chat, Gary.
Kirkland Signature, Luke Moore,
is a new player.
I've been a guest,
I've been an esteemed guest
at the house of Chris Kirkland.
He's a lovely, lovely man.
Lovely stuff.
A lovely dog.
A lovely black Labrador.
Oh, nice.
Anyway, what we're doing,
oh yeah,
so this is the fourth time
these have been sent in,
I'm afraid, Gary.
The first time they were sent in
was way back on the 17th of March,
2018. Our friend Sam Little sent sent in was way back on the 17th of March 2018.
Our friend Sam Little sent them in.
Smashing.
Well, unlucky, Gary.
And unlucky Chris Kirkland.
Abbey Wells has got in touch.
First time emailer to any podcast.
Proud to say I've been listening to Luke and Pete's show since the show was Luke and Pete's Summer of Fun.
Very much like a bout of chlamydia,
the Luke and Pete show
is very much the STD
that just kind of pervaded
our whole life,
hasn't it really, Luke?
It's continued.
She hasn't emailed any of this.
That's you saying that.
I've got her email in front of me.
That's you saying that.
It was our little summer affair
and we've contracted the disease
and now
you know
now we've got to get
regular blood tests
I want to make it clear
for Abby
and for our listeners
that that's you
you didn't do it
you didn't do it
there was no juxtaposition
between the fact that
you were picking up
the story yourself
and you carried on
reading like it was
oh yeah sorry
apologies
Abby didn't say any of that
like most fans of the show
I've been waiting
for my excuse
to get in touch tonight I was changing the batteries in I've been waiting for my excuse to get in touch.
Tonight, I was changing the batteries
in a toy remote control for my toddler
so that it can fulfill its irritating, noisy potential.
And I now have a pair of SJDB AAA batteries.
Obviously, I now instantly regret not paying attention
to every battery name that's ever been announced on the show.
So at the risk of having my first email being a shaming one,
here's my attempt at a new player.
There's no shame here.
Abi, don't worry about that.
P.S. The amount of Luke and Pete show that I listen to,
coupled with my partner's love for the Football Ramble,
almost certainly means that our 18-month-old has been exposed to your two voices
far more than those of his grandparents.
Whether the consequences of this multimedia development experiment are positive or not, only time will tell.
Sorry for saying chlamydia earlier on.
Abbey.
Abbey, I'm sorry that you are now forever going to be associated
in this show with some kind of venereal disease.
That wasn't my intention.
Probably wasn't Pete's intention.
However, I can bring you some good news on the other side of the
ledger to say that SJDB AAA
batteries are indeed new players.
Congratulations to you.
That is two out of three this week. We're still
keeping the ratio up. I mean, we'll stop doing this
when we stop finding new ones.
That's not happened so far. I wouldn't
care. What I like about
this show, we're not only
obsessed with batteries. While this show um we're not only obsessed with batteries while
this show has been being recorded luke moore has sent me on whatsapp uh what can only be described
as the battery daddy a storage system uh you'd probably see on an infomercial on tv basically
just a big the sort of case you would get a cordless drill in uh but instead of a cordless drill just a lot of spots for every kind of battery
and it also includes a battery tester in the middle of the plastic recessed it's a great product
it's a great product um i like the fact it's called battery daddy because it just basically
it basically says it's it's it's a product that unfortunately skews very male and very fatherly
much like the lucan peach show much like the luc and Pete show. Much like the Luke and Pete show.
I have to shout out to Noah Roth who sent me that on Twitter.
But it's a great product.
I mean, it's got the tagline is store and organise all your batteries.
No more digging through junk drawers.
It's also double-sided.
Holds 180 batteries of various different sizes.
Right.
We don't really tend to hugely acknowledge the rechargeable end of the spectrum, do we? It's not really our vibe. Right. We don't really tend to hugely acknowledge the rechargeable end of the spectrum, do we?
It's not really our vibe.
Right.
But good that they can offer a bit of that as well
with the discharge and the individual.
Whoa, steady, steady.
If we're going to be the only podcast
that talks about batteries,
could you just please just pay more attention
to the products that are getting sent?
It's a battery tester.
It's not a battery recharger.
Oh, sorry. What does a battery tester. It's not a battery recharger. Oh, sorry.
What does a battery tester do then?
It just says, is it got juice in it?
Is there juice loose about this battery hoose?
Oh, okay.
What I like about it is, and if you sort of check it out,
on the back, it's just purely AAAs.
On the front, there's all kinds.
But they've also, in the handle, there's a little bit of real estate
that they've just jammed a couple of double A's in there just to sort of say,
look, we could not fit a single more battery.
We couldn't fit another battery in.
We put them everywhere we could possibly fathom.
It's brilliant.
I love it.
I love the battery day.
There's two triple A's in the handle.
It's great.
It's a battery-powered handle.
If you've ever purchased one of these
or you've used one
or you've got any particular opinion on it,
we'll share it on the socials,
helloutlookandpeachshow.com.
There's a lot of people back in the day
who said you could not do a podcast
twice a week for this amount of time
just about batteries
and the stuff that you've been doing each week
because we don't really do anything either.
That's the thing.
The crucial kicker here is that you say,
oh, yeah, they're really charismatic guys that are always up to stuff.
It would probably work.
We're not.
We don't do anything.
We're not influencers.
We're not influencers.
Not in that way.
I spent all morning uploading files
but also making sure that all my Adobe Creative Cloud applications
are up to date.
Oh, by the way, speaking of that,
I got a new portable telephone yesterday.
Oh, did you now?
Love your old job.
Well, if your fucking home broadband was working a bit better,
I might be able to see it, but I can't.
Is it not?
I can't see you, mate. I don't have a phone here can't. Is it not? I can't see you, mate.
I don't know what phone is. You can't see me.
I can't see you. Sorry, man. You'll have to send me
a picture on WhatsApp. Actually, how would you
do that?
What an enigma.
What kind of mobile phone? Did you buy a silly foldable one like
mine? No, I just
peaked. Guess what I did?
You said
what's the easiest? I big buttons i need a torch um
what did you ask for i need to be able to facetime the grandkids yeah yeah yeah i just went for the
latest iphone and they're just that transfer thing where you transfer all the data in like an hour
and it's done it's just done yeah it's basically exactly the same phone just a new vessel now
have you got one of those um have you got the video where it um you can post produce the uh the blurring in
the background on videos that's quite smart i'll have a look at that later i haven't really
explored that feature but it's a bit like you know in the future super wealthy people will
almost certainly just be transferring them their own brain to new hosts i just did that with my
phone basically lovely stuff it's the highlight of the week. I mean, another
highlight of the week is there's a big crack opened up in the front
of my house because of all the heat. Oh, no.
That's probably a story for another time. Let's
get out of here, Peter. We wish our dear
listeners and our lovely Luke and Pete Show family a
fantastic weekend. If you've had
a good one or you've had a particularly bad one, why don't you
email us in for Monday's show and
we'll talk about it. That'd be nice.
That'd be a nice little
feature. It'd be nice to hear from you.
But until then, Peter, we must
bid everyone farewell, mustn't we?
We must. And if you are
finding that there's a big crack that's been
exposed thanks to the hot weather in front of your house,
don't drop your battery daddy down there.
Alright? You need that. No, definitely
don't. Battery daddy might be the only thing that can
save you. Alright then, cheerio. We'll be back on Monday, definitely don't. Bachelor's Day might be the only thing that can save you.
All right then, cheerio.
We'll be back on Monday doing our thing.
Speak soon.
