Starting point is 00:00:00 it's the look of peter i'm pete donaldson i'm joined by luke moore lukey moore is a resplendent in uh is that a shacket or like a kind of a thick shirt maybe does that count as a like a flannel shacket hello mate how you doing uh peter how you doing everyone yes this is indeedannel shacket. Hello, mate. How are you doing, Peter? How are you doing, everyone? Yes, this is indeed a shacket. I will step back from the mic very briefly. Hopefully, you can still hear me. Give you a little look at it. Yeah, I think that's shacket. Yes, so the pocket on the side where the hip is,
Starting point is 00:00:37 a hip pocket is very important in a shacket. That separates the shacket from the shirt, doesn't it? I think it does. It's definitely one of the factors. I think a little bit of added thickness and padding. Yeah. I think you've got parameters with a shacket. If you go too far that way, it's too thin, no pockets.
Starting point is 00:00:52 It can just be really a glorified heavy shirt. If you go too far the other way, with the kind of fur lining, the big thick kind of padding, it can just really be a jacket. So you've got to sit in that little um that little space in between i believe i know you're a fellow shacket enthusiast um but yeah i'm passionate about them particularly this time of year where we're getting to the stage now where it's not brutally cold but it is still cold enough i think it can be a very versatile piece
Starting point is 00:01:20 to uh to help your day along in a variety of different environments. Help your day along. I'd love to get sponsored by some company that makes shackets and then we could just get sent them. That'd be amazing. It's just like shackets.co.uk. I wonder if anyone has shackets.com. Should be if it isn't.
Starting point is 00:01:37 That's what I say. Yeah, there's nothing coming up. Maybe the URL's for sale. Maybe we could get it. Was I kind of influential in any way into your Shacket journey? I think it's more, I do a lot of dog walks, or the robot warrior I have access to, rather.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Yeah, I do a lot of dog walks. They're actually quite useful, aren't they? You won't be pleased to learn that... Yeah, you won't be pleased to learn that a blockchain business has taken up residence in Shacket.com. For goodness sake. Which is good. How are you feeling about your crypto at the moment?
Starting point is 00:02:18 We get a load of email complaints if we talk about crypto. Oh, what? Because there's just a lot of crypto in everyone's lives. I think people think this is a safe space from crypto. Crypto is crypt. But we're so deep in it, Pete, we can't get out. Let's just talk about crypts. No one talks about crypts anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:35 There's probably not enough room anymore for crypts. Do you remember that TV show, Tales from the Crypt? Kind of. Was it just like a spooky TV show? I always found it really frightening even though um my largely my um experience of it was just the artwork of the skull but uh dear it's quite funny because they they had a um they basically had a spin-off series called two-fisted tales
Starting point is 00:03:05 which i imagine many people looked at not expecting to see what they saw that's definitely a late night i mean there's obviously a famous band rocket from the crypt yes on a rope on a rope got me hanging on a rope it's the very first band so do you know the story um our mate john will delight in telling you even though he first band. So do you know the story our mate John will delight in telling you, even though he wasn't there? But, you know, it's just a bit of him because he loves to take the piss out of me. Have you heard the story of my
Starting point is 00:03:33 first ever visit to Glastonbury? No. Okay. I'll tell you very quickly. 1998, so I was 17. It was in June, so I wasn't even nearly 18. Anyway, we went to Glastonbury. And for those of you who are minded to do so, you can look up what Glastonbury 98 was like.
Starting point is 00:03:53 And it was like the worst weather ever. It was absolutely horrific. It was only rivaled really by 2005, which I was also at. But that's another story. 1998 Glastonbury. Was that the Who headlining? It was Bob Dylan headlined. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I think Blur were there. Right. Bob Dylan, that's the last thing you need, because the man does not travel well, does he? I don't think it was. It was your boy's pulp, mate. Oh, right. Yeah, I wasn't at that one.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Cool. Primal Scream on the Friday,ur on the Saturday Pulp on the Sunday but Bob Dylan played Nick Cave played Foo Fighters anyway that kind of stuff it was a fucking
Starting point is 00:04:32 it was a late 90s anyway and that was at the time when Glastonbury you know I can't stress this enough Glastonbury's like a really cool mainstream thing now
Starting point is 00:04:41 but back then I mean you used to get the piss taken out of you if you were going to Glastonbury and they never get the proper big bands and barely mean you used to get the piss taken out of you if you're going to Glastonbury and they never get the proper big bands and barely anyone ever paid to get in
Starting point is 00:04:48 they just jumped the fence yeah and they wouldn't pay they wouldn't get like a massive mainstream artist because they wouldn't have the money right because it was like a
Starting point is 00:04:55 charitable endeavour and all the rest of it anyway that's the background so we went there a bunch of 17 year olds that's probably about 7 or 8 of us no planning
Starting point is 00:05:05 no idea what we're doing no I don't even remember even looking at the weather we just went there on the train I think cut a long story short
Starting point is 00:05:14 it was horrific we got there on the Thursday lunchtime by Friday evening tent was pretty much gone all my clothes were gone
Starting point is 00:05:23 I just had what I was wearing on my back really I don't think I had any money either it was just ridiculous so I just fucking left right I just thought fuck this I don't know how I'm going to get home I think I had a return train ticket
Starting point is 00:05:36 from a train station quite near but I had no idea how I was going to get to the train because loads of shit was going wrong because the weather was so bad anyway I managed to get home yeah and my friends, up until,
Starting point is 00:05:48 they don't do it anymore because it was years ago but they used to piss me quite a lot for not being able to handle it and for going home and all the rest of it.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I completely can't remember why I'm telling this story now. Oh no, that's it, I do remember. And the very first band I saw there were Rocket from the Crypt,
Starting point is 00:06:03 right? Right, okay. And Rocket from the Crypt were really good, but it was horrific conditions. It was like probably a foot of mud where the stage was. So you couldn't really move. If you got your feet stuck in the mud, it would get to the point where the rain wasn't getting to the mud anymore because the people were standing there, so it got sticky, so you lost your shoes. What the guy from Rocket from the Crypt did is he stopped the show halfway through um i don't think he wanted people to be moving
Starting point is 00:06:29 around because it was actually quite dangerous at that point he separated them into two parts with a big kind of runway down the middle and he said who wants to slide down uh it was like slightly sloped who wants to slide down if you slide all the way down get to the front you can come up on stage right and people were doing it front, you can come up on stage, right? And people were doing it and he was letting them up on stage. And then it got to the point where people were making mud cakes
Starting point is 00:06:51 and throwing them at the people on stage. And then after a while, they just left. And they were the first band I saw at Rocket from the Crypt, Glastonbury. And the only other thing I remember from that festival
Starting point is 00:07:01 was seeing England play Columbia in the World Cup and winning with that David Beckham free kick um and that was like with 40 or 50 000 people all watching it on a big screen yeah but it was awful but i still have quite a nice memory of of that band so there you go there's a story relating to the word crypt that sounds fun i think yeah you weren't there though no no i wasn No, I wasn't at that one. But crypt, presumably, quite a good start on a wordle.
Starting point is 00:07:30 What do you reckon? Oh, very good. It gets rid of the difficult letters and, you know... The wife I have access to and I do the wordle every day together. Have you done today's one? Not yet, no.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Don't tell me. I'm not going to tell you. I actually may have told you. Oh, you fucking idiot. Sorry. Why did you have to tell me if I was going to make it bad? I might have mentioned
Starting point is 00:07:52 one of the words that are part of it. That's all. This is like Game of Thrones all over again. It's only one day. There are 365 wordles a year for crying out loud.
Starting point is 00:08:00 The thing I don't like about you and your spoilers is that I think whoever listens to our stuff and has done for a while will have an impression of me and they'll have an impression of you. And they'll think Luke's a bit of a loud mouth, fucking tries to be an alpha. Cruel. All this crap. Cruel man.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Yeah, cruel man. Cruel. Basically a bully. Bully, cruel bully. And they'll think of you as being a really nice kind of quirky, cool, like indie dude. I have been sat in this very room now where you've come in and spitefully spoiled Game of Thrones. I have not!
Starting point is 00:08:30 And people won't believe it. You just got upset about it. But it's true. You just got upset about the Bloomin' Dragon programme and just, I just, I, the ferocity in which you defended your, that TV show on that day shocked me to my very core. But the thing that annoyed me about it is that you wouldn't just wait
Starting point is 00:08:45 until it to come out you had to go and fucking watch it on some American stream so you'd watched it first it wasn't even it but it wasn't even part of the thing it was a blooper someone left a bloody
Starting point is 00:08:53 Starbucks coffee in there for crying out loud it wasn't even part of the programme in retrospect that is poor by them someone told me actually I don't know if I told you this but someone told me
Starting point is 00:09:02 the guys who'd ran Game of Thrones when they ran out of book material someone who who knows about this kind of stuff and this it was actually when i was over in the us and i was catching up with him he said that they were just unbelievable hacks they were like so bad it was like embarrassing and um yeah anyway apparently they were just unbelievable hacks is what i heard um uh did you see uh luke that um a starlink satellite uh just basically exploded in in in the space yeah just the one that kind of it failed and so part of it's coming back to earth or one part was going to crash into the moon or something that that was that that's the one uh i think last week the new starlink sat us it got basically um felled by
Starting point is 00:09:48 a geomagnetic storm um and it just went out in a blaze of glory and uh and it was footage um taken in puerto rico and yeah basically are you familiar with starlink it's basically um a musk isn't it it's musk's uh broadband uh plan oh yeah i know it's very impressive it's a cool bit of kit but uh and and you know it's great for rural um people with rural uh internet needs but um it's just gonna end up with a lot of a lot of space trash up there hang on this is a lot of shit this is a separate incident to the one i referenced yeah how often is this happening there's just a lot of shit in the in i think he's just a lot of shit in the... I think he's putting a lot of shit into space
Starting point is 00:10:27 and because he's so powerful, no one's telling him to fucking stop. Even the Chinese are saying, can you just stop putting stuff in the sky, please? Pleading with him, for crying out loud. And they're usually the ones that, you know, affect climate change with their massive amounts of coal burning. I saw an amazing example of making lemonade out of lemons
Starting point is 00:10:51 a couple of weeks ago, or a few weeks ago, where part of one of Elon Musk's ships, I think it's one of Elon Musk's, it crashed into the moon, right? Because something happened. And there was an interview with the scientist and i can't remember the exact words because i haven't got in front of me but he was
Starting point is 00:11:09 like oh yeah but um obviously it's not ideal you know you need to control these kind of things but on the other hand i mean it'll give us some great data when it crashes in and i was like i'm not really sure science should be being done in that way you know you just yeah well we'll we'll watch it and i reckon it i mean because we've never done that before because it's mental we'll we'll watch it and I reckon because we've never done that before because it's mental we'll see what we get out of it so I guess you've got to make some good of it but it's not exactly a great way
Starting point is 00:11:32 to be doing things is it no no I guess not I think a lot of the Musk stuff is just like we'll put it in the sky shall we check whether there's a big geostorm coming nah don't worry
Starting point is 00:11:43 can you predict them Can you predict them? Can you predict them, Peter? I think you can, can't you? You can predict most things, can't you, in the sky, I presume. We've got another show coming out soon here at Slack about all sorts of science fiction and science fact kind of developments and stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Lukewell Space Chat. It's called Lukewell Space Chat. Yeah, it's called that, yeah. I pushed through that name, actually. It's a crap name. It's the best name. But a lot of it I was personally because I was involved in the show
Starting point is 00:12:09 I was personally quite convinced about the idea that oh people say oh yeah but Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson all these rich people
Starting point is 00:12:18 were just mucking about in space I kind of had that opinion before I did the show and then I was fairly well convinced, not of the personal intentions of those human beings. I don't know them. And I imagine they're quite problematic in their own way,
Starting point is 00:12:33 but I was totally convinced of, and I think I also had it proven to me the direct benefit of that kind of development and space exploration stuff and how it actually does improve lives on earth. Now there's a, there's a lot of question marks around the people it does improve and the fact that you know are realistically people who are really struggling on the poverty line in or below the poverty line in sub-saharan africa or whatever they really benefiting a bit from it probably not certainly not straight away
Starting point is 00:12:57 so there's definitely some questions to be answered about how that's channeled but a lot factually a lot of our everyday life that's been improved over the last 50 years has come directly from space exploration and the space race and that kind of stuff. So it's a little bit
Starting point is 00:13:11 more complicated than people just doing that low-hanging fruit, look at that crazy billionaire doing whatever he fucking wants kind of thing. There's a lot more to it than that,
Starting point is 00:13:18 and unnecessarily, I think, there will be mistakes that happen that people have to learn from, and it's about limiting those. And that's quite a boring answer, so I apologize, but I think it's a lot that happen that people have to learn from. And it's about limiting those. And that's quite a boring answer, so I apologise. But I think it's a lot more detailed than just the headlines that people are saying from what I've learned.
Starting point is 00:13:32 What will we do with all that moon rock? Bringing it back, looking at it, putting it on the desk. It's just paperweights now, isn't it? Yeah. Would you like to have a little moon rock in your apology grief cabin? It's the sort of thing you sort of see every now and again, don't you? Proper next to the wrestling figure? Proper moon rock.
Starting point is 00:13:50 But is it kind of just asteroids that have come down that people have sliced to bits and stuff? Well, I know that the Apollo mission's brought back several, I think several hundred kilograms of moon rocks for study. Oh, right, okay. I don't know where they are. I think some of them are on display in the museums in the US. Yeah. But I don't know where all of them
Starting point is 00:14:07 are. But yeah, it's really interesting because it tells us a lot about how the solar system was formed, about how the moon came
Starting point is 00:14:14 to be and all that type of stuff. People say that, I don't know, but I don't really know how that's the case. That's one of the big problems we've
Starting point is 00:14:20 got in the modern world because we'll be conditioned. And I think in this example I'm going to use, obviously rightly we've got in in the modern world because like we'll be we'll be like um condition and i think you know in this example i'm going to use obviously rightly so like say we'll be conditioned and educated to to say that you know evolution is a fact right and it's how it happened and it's provable and there's so much evidence all of which is true yeah but i think the problem comes from the idea that and you can extrapolate this point I'm about to make across all science. The problem comes,
Starting point is 00:14:46 people like you and I would find it pretty hard to explain exactly how evolution happens, right? Yeah. We're just conditioned to know that it's the case. And I wonder sometimes if that's really that helpful. Because if you speak to someone who is, my personal opinion would be mad
Starting point is 00:15:03 to not think evolution is true. And I have read a lot of stuff around it. You're probably going to be like, well, you must be a bit fucking simple. But at the same time, we can't accurately explain what it is anyway. Yeah. So what I'm saying is,
Starting point is 00:15:18 oh yeah, it's great because moon rocks can tell us how the solar system formed. Okay. How did you get to there? Yeah, that's just a soundbite really for me because I have no idea about it apart from that. I don't know how they're doing it. I don't know what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:15:27 You could be lying. They put it under a microscope or something, but I don't know what they're looking for. And no one believes boffins these days, so they just sort of like...
Starting point is 00:15:34 Exactly. We've had too much of experts, Pete. Which is why people like this show. Yeah. I tell you what, I've a non-expert, but certainly someone
Starting point is 00:15:43 who knows a certain amount of onions. Justin Hawkins from The Darkness.pert, but certainly someone who knows a certain amount of onions. Justin Hawkins from The Darkness. Oh, yeah. He's got a Patreon. He does YouTubes and stuff where he just answers questions and basically talks about songs he likes and songs he doesn't like. Because I think his background was writing jingles, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:16:00 It was, yeah. He's a proper musician. Yeah. And he basically talks beautifully about um uh about you know like he's going throughout the red hot chili peppers and how like um bands he doesn't necessarily rate that much and trying to sort of find the good in some things and the bad in others and stuff i find so it's just just in hawkins talks or something just just just search on youtube and he just sits in a room and he'll just sort of wax lyrical for 20 minutes
Starting point is 00:16:28 and then chip off. It's a lovely little listen. But he's going through like... Who's the guitarist out of the Red Hot Chili Peppers who just rejoined? Well, it's John Frusciante, isn't it? Frusciante, yeah. He's just rejoined us.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And before that it was Hillel Slovak, but he's dead, so it's John Frusciante. Yeah. He's a very successful guitarist and he's got some beautiful guitars and a lovely sound but he just doesn't do any like he doesn't have a very expressive guitar style
Starting point is 00:16:56 and it's true I like the solos and certainly like you know like from Under the Bridge forwards like it's very like the solos are very simplistic, is that what I mean? Just slidey, kind of like slow.
Starting point is 00:17:08 A lot of music is, right? But there's no like, there's no wobble on the string at all. He just kind of slides his finger up there and slides his finger down there. And he's basically given me a logistical reason to dislike the Reddit tree covers rather than just my gut. That's what you were looking for. than just my gut at least there's a musical reason
Starting point is 00:17:25 yeah exactly at least there's like a musical reason for it I'll tell you something forgive me if I've mentioned this before on the show but there's a really
Starting point is 00:17:32 great piece of footage of Hawkins getting really angry because he entered this song into to be to be the UK's
Starting point is 00:17:42 Eurovision entry right okay and it was actually really good. It's like a really catchy pop song. Yeah. And he got down to the final two to be chosen.
Starting point is 00:17:50 You know they do like auditions on BBC and they choose the song. It's called A Song for Europe. And he lost to that fucking awful Scooch band who did that like cabin crew themed song and it did nothing. But when they announced
Starting point is 00:18:05 that Scooch have won over him, he just storms off. It's amazing. But secondly, just on that kind of note, my friends and I do a thing every week
Starting point is 00:18:15 where we listen to a different album. It started in lockdown but we've continued it and we've never missed a week since the start of lockdown. So we've been doing it
Starting point is 00:18:21 for almost two years now. And it's chosen in a variety of different ways. Everyone gets a vote on a short list and it can be anything, right? It can be like something you'd never normally listen to.
Starting point is 00:18:30 It can be a classic album. It can be a genre of music. Have you not got enough spreadsheets in your working list? Crucially, I don't do the organising. I only have to vote once a week. So that's partly
Starting point is 00:18:40 why it works for me. Anyway, last week we did Revolver by the Beatles. Okay. And I know it's not the most revelatory thing to ever say ever that, you know, Revolver by The Beatles is a brilliant album.
Starting point is 00:18:52 But when you actually sit down in that kind of environment with no distractions, so you're not listening to it or doing anything else, you've got a reason to just be there and the only cut off is, because we do it in side A and side B because it's how the record was intended to be made,
Starting point is 00:19:10 if you know what I mean. Yeah. So particularly something like Revolver, the track listing, you've got like seven songs and then on side two, you've got another seven songs. But when you listen to it in that environment,
Starting point is 00:19:19 it's honestly absolutely incredible how good that album is, right? No song on it is longer than three minutes every single song is like an absolutely banging pop song right it still sounds really fresh and it's just this unalloyed kind of way of songwriting where it is interesting because it's on the cusp of them going to this psychedelic thing and getting a bit mystic and george harrison liking indian music there's a bit of that in there, and you can see how different they're going to start to sound.
Starting point is 00:19:55 But it's just incredibly unfiltered, undiluted pop songwriting of the likes that you probably don't get anywhere else, and it just keeps hitting you. Every song. I said at the time, it felt like getting into the ring with a really good boxer. And he's punching you, and every single punch really hurts. But it's coming from, so it's memorable, but it's coming from all sorts of different angles. And one's going to the body, then one's going to the chin,
Starting point is 00:20:17 one's going to the top of your head. And it just never ends until it does end, right? And then what you're left with is like no more than like 35 minutes of absolutely perfect listening. And then you go, fucking hell, that is exactly why it's not just a soundbite when everyone says the Beatles were the greatest ever and the most influential and all the rest of it.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Because it is astonishing to listen to. So that kind of stuff does appeal to me. So I'd be very interested in watching those videos from young Justin, because he's an interesting guy anyway. He's got a interesting to say. He's got a lovely way about him. He's not backwards of coming forward to saying that he absolutely hated doing radio interviews,
Starting point is 00:20:52 and I always thought we got on quite well. Picture you in the background. Look at this cunt, I hate him. Two things on that, Luke. I feel the same way when I went back and listened to the first Placebo album last week. Not quite the same it's just simply not quite the same according to this track listing uh luke i'm only sleeping and love you too are both four and three seconds over uh three minutes the official track listing of of uh love you too is three minutes the official sleep
Starting point is 00:21:20 uh track record of track listing um says that i'm only sleeping two minutes 58 oh where are you getting these from where the lost seconds you're missing out on seconds if The official track list says that Ironman is sleeping 2 minutes 58. Where are you getting these from? Where are the lost seconds? You're missing out on seconds. You could fit in a couple more punches in those seconds. Mine comes from one of the most respected Beatles historians, Mark Lewis. What's he got to do with it?
Starting point is 00:21:40 He just loves them. What's wrong with Wikipedia? He's one of those blokes who just loves them. Loves them. To put it in perspective, right, I think it's Mark Lewis who wrote, it might not be him, but there's a Beatles historian that's written a voluminous biography of the Beatles in various different volumes.
Starting point is 00:21:59 And to put it in perspective, the first one, I think it's 800 pages long. And I think it ends in like 1958 when the beatles haven't even formed that's how obsessed people get with it so we'll have all sorts of listeners get in touch anyway we've got to have a break because we're way over and we've got to do battery brands and a couple of hand injury emails peaks we've got to do this certainly do have you ever wondered what happened to all those space age promises that previous generations thought we'd have by now? You know, heading out for the day on your own personal flying cars or working on a space hotel somewhere in the far reaches of our solar system.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Where are all those amazing inventions? Well, we're here to find out more on my new podcast, Where's My Jetpack? I'm Sarah Cruddas, space expert, TV host and author. Join me and Luke Moore every week as we look into retrofuturistic tech that never was to decide whether it's still just science fiction or if some of these discoveries are actually a lot closer than you think. I think we're very close to that happening on an even more regular basis. And what I think is interesting about that too is that's going to make the accessibility
Starting point is 00:23:07 of getting to space available for more and more people. So if you've ever wondered whether we'll one day speak to aliens light years away or you'll be fine to work on a jetpack, this is the podcast for you. Think of the car parking spaces. What do you mean? No, the wings can fold up.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Well, they don't exist. No, some of the cars which were designed had wings which folded up. Are you happy getting in a plane knowing the wings fold up? Yeah. I trust engineering. Trust the science. Search Where's My Jetpack on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Where's My Jetpack on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Where's My Jetpack is a Stack production and part of the Acast Creator Network. We're back with the Logan Peet Show. And of course, of course, battery brands have to be discussed, people. We're going battery brand crazy. If you found a battery in a toy or anything really, just let us know which one you found and we'll read them out on the show and figure out if someone's sent them in before.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Shall I kick off with reading out the battery brands, Luke? You go for it, mate. I'm going to search. All right, mate. Here we go. Let's go for Dylan's message. I may have a new battery brand for you. Pair Deer Industrial. I may have a new battery brand for you. Pear Deer Industrial. Hopefully it's a new player. Dylan, I can almost categorically state
Starting point is 00:24:29 that it isn't, unfortunately. Pear Deer Industrial is a very, very common battery. It's been sent in as early as New Year's Day 2018 by Jack Collins. Megan, our friend Megan sent it in towards the middle of 2018. So yeah, you're way behind the curve there, Dylan, I'm afraid. But thank you for getting in touch and having a go
Starting point is 00:24:51 because if you don't play, you can't win. Exactly. Thank you very much, fella. Chris Laird's come in with a long-time listener, second-time emailer. Wanted to finally chime in on the battery chat. Had a lovely box of these AAA Power Owl batteries delivered to work today. Never seen the likes before and wondered if they may be a new player chris led is it new
Starting point is 00:25:10 player uh the power owl triple a power owl is a brilliant battery imagine how quick the head could turn on that they're new players mate uh new players guaranteed 100 power owl never heard of them before great to see them mentioned. I don't know, I mean, he doesn't give us any context as to why they've been delivered to his work, but I'm very, very happy they have been because I've never seen those before. They are officially new players.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Hello to you, Chris, and welcome to the Power Owl. Welcome to the Power Owl. Anna has come in with, well, we've shown you five batteries, but we're going to focus on the Czechoslovakian ones, or rather Czech-Republican ones, as they seem the most interesting. I've been collecting photos of batteries for some time now, and I just can't keep them all for myself anymore. Here they are.
Starting point is 00:25:55 ETA Premium Alkaline in one of their strange little lamps. A packet of Raver Alkaline Ultra batteries in my local shop. Both companies seem to be Czech. Yeah, Etta Prima Alkaline and Raver Alkaline Ultra Batteries. Any buy? I think Raver's new, isn't it? I'm just searching now. So Etta, I think, are new.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Etta Prima Alkaline are new. Yeah. Raver Alkaline are also new. Yeah, two new players. Oh, are new. Yeah. Raver Alkaline are also new. Yeah, two new players. Oh, cracking stuff. Anna, fantastic. Well done.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Good on you. Collecting pictures of batteries in your camera roll. By the way, Anna finishes her email. What is it about Pete looking like everyone? I've never seen anyone
Starting point is 00:26:39 even remotely resembling Pete Donaldson here in Central Europe. Is it just a British thing? That's bullshit, Anna. With respect, that is bullshit. I mean, to be fair...
Starting point is 00:26:48 He looks like every Eastern European man ever. Yeah, Eastern European, but Central Europe. I mean, people in Spain look quite healthy, don't they? You know what I mean? I would consider Spain
Starting point is 00:26:59 to be South Europe. Is there South Europe? What? Southern Europe. Yeah, Central Europe to me is like germany you know uh switzerland maybe but you forget that austria western europe west i don't know yeah oh i don't know i think i think you're looking at you're looking at yeah that spain is not central europe that's like southwest europe it's right the south bottom of europe isn't it yeah i guess so
Starting point is 00:27:23 so i think i'm surprised to hear that and a lookalike is always in the eye of the beholder yeah yeah but i think you'd have to be pretty stone-hearted to not admit that pete does on occasion look quite eastern european in his appearance i'd i'd go with that to be honest i'd go with that um so we have done a few battery brands there this week. You did manage to get to a few of your emails. We're going to be having the hand-hurting special on the next show. Does that sound about right, Luke?
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah, great. Can we do that? We're going to be back in the studio. We're going to be talking about hands, touching hands, hurting hands. Because what we do is we say something that we want to do, and then we just rely on producer Roy to organise it. Yes, exactly. So that'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Yeah, good on him. He's reliable. Great stuff. So we're out of here, then, are we? We're going to do and then we just rely on producer Roy to organise it. Yes, exactly.
