It's the Luke and Pete show, baby!
What's going on?
Lukey Moore, you alright?
No, bro, I was just having a little burp then.
I don't do them on air like you.
I just ride the mute button, baby.
What's wrong?
You've got a mute button.
I haven't got a mute button.
I wouldn't even know where my...
Have you heard the show before?
I don't mute anything.
We use the same piece of software, quite literally. Oh, so you've got a mute button. I've got a mute button. I wouldn't even know where my... Have you heard the show before? I don't mute anything. We use the same piece of software, quite literally.
Oh, so you've got a software solution.
I've got a hardware solution that can go very, very loud.
Very good, yeah.
I'm not the sort of person...
Back again.
I'm not the sort of person who feels comfortable
with any kind of confidence saying the word software solution.
Software solution.
I don't know what it means.
I've got a software solution.
It's a bit like walking into a Spanish shop
and saying hello in Spanish.
You're not impressed anymore.
You just open yourself up to a whole load of awkwardness
when they carry on talking to you in Spanish.
Yes, exactly.
So you can work on the accent as much as you like,
but if you can't go deep, don't bother.
That is what she said.
I forgot to mention on Thursday
that I've actually been very ill.
And so I've been riding the mute button for a wee while now to cough
because I've had this bloody flu lurking thing.
It doesn't work with the word ill.
You've got to say sick.
I'm sick.
When somebody says, sorry, I was sick yesterday,
you say, sorry, I'm sick.
They go, I'm sick, yeah, you and Ben were your sister.
Oh, yeah, that joke.
It's a good old Eddie's joke
don't shy away from it
you coward
I can't remember it
I got excited about the joke
and then I remembered
it had something to do
with incest
it had something to do
with fucking your sister
and that's all
that's all I got
yeah okay
you've basically done it
yeah fine
you've not committed to it though
it's like
it's like
saying you're gonna go dance
on the dance floor
at a wedding
but doing the robot
because you're too self-conscious
nice yeah yeah okay I'm never too good I did Sarah DJ'd saying you're going to go dance on the dance floor at a wedding, but doing the robot because you're too self-conscious.
Nice.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Okay.
I'm never too good.
I did Sarah DJ'd in Camden at the...
I saw that.
I saw that on Instagram, actually.
How was it?
I got very drunk into the forward roll.
What were you doing there?
Leave her alone.
Let her do her job.
I'll come in.
Why?
I'll come in.
It's an indie night.
I am legally required to be at this indie night.
She played You Will Love Us by the Mannix, and I did a forward roll in Rapture. Completely cleared the dance floor, It's an indie night. I am legally required to be at this indie night.
She played You Will Love Us by The Mannix and I did a forward roll in Rapture.
Completely cleared the dance floor, but I enjoyed myself.
You're fucking 41 years old.
I am.
I thought I'd lost my wallet, but I hadn't.
So let me just break this down to its component parts.
Some doggy treats fell out of my pockets.
I did a forward roll.
So we need to break this down
because this is the first I'm hearing about this.
So your wife,
who is a DJ on national radio,
got a job doing a similar type gig
but at an indie club,
presumably paid,
and she's getting on with it good.
You insist on going.
Yeah.
You wait for an early
Manic Street Preachers song
to come on,
do a forward roll
in front of everyone
on the dance floor,
probably hurt yourself.
You're going to come on to that,
I expect.
And a load of doggy treats fall out of your pocket
and you're 41 years old.
That's pretty much it, yeah.
Why are you like this?
What do you mean, why am I like this?
What do you think about that now?
What do you mean, I think about that now?
I don't think it was my finest moment,
but it was nowhere near the bottom.
That's what we used to say on the Ramble, didn't we used to do people back in the day on the ramble the four of us we'd sit down
we'd do something on air and then afterwards before we edited it and put it out we'd have
a vote about whether it was the worst thing we'd ever done and if it wasn't we would put it out
that's honestly true as well so it wasn't the worst what is the worst thing you've done in
that kind of context what is the worst thing i've ever done what in like a sort of i sort of like in indiana's back
in the day i used to do a lot of sleeping you should climb under stuff and go to sleep that
was kind of my like i'd climb under the stage if there was a stage involved i'd find some way of
getting and i'd try and get through doors i wasn't allowed in and pretend i was part of like a band
or something i do do that sort of stupid stuff. But again, I wouldn't have the confidence
to go through with it.
Like that joke, I wouldn't sort of,
I wouldn't go, I wouldn't go sort of,
you know, two feet in the way.
It's a confidence trick, isn't it, that kind of thing?
It really is.
You've really got to see it through.
And it's a bit like, you know, like modern politicians,
they just lie and then people say you lie
and then they go, well, no, I'm actually telling the truth.
Like just say black is white and you know
yeah the sky is green and all that they'll just say i think um it happened a british podcast
awards a couple of years ago right remember we didn't have tickets to go backstage and but i
just put my chest down i just walked straight in yeah no one stopped me because you didn't do the
same i didn't do the same because i respect the rules i respect the people who are the fucking
british podcast the british podcast that's correct yeah that is correct oh i've got that i've got I didn't do the same because I respect the rules. I respect the people who at least... What, the fucking British Podcast Awards?
The British Podcast Awards, that's correct, yeah.
That is correct.
Oh, I've got such reverence for such a storied and hallowed event.
It was at Brockwell Park, which is my local park.
It's in Brockwell Lido.
Someone had put a fucking bit of tape around a couple of trees
in Brockwell Park, so you can't come in here.
Yeah.
I'll do what I want, thanks very much.
This is for the high performance podcast.
This is the VIP area for them.
Yeah, well,
they didn't even turn up, did they?
Did they not?
I don't know.
That's not really high performance, is it?
I would imagine on a day like that,
Jake would be in the shower at 4am,
having a cold shower.
Why are people like that?
I saw one of those the other day.
I saw a guy the other day
who, I mean,
had crossed over from
this hustler culture,
kind of seize the day type vibe,
into just straight lies.
Just lying.
The natural conclusion.
I get up at 2am, and by the time it's lunchtime,
I've done 10 hours work.
You haven't.
And then later down the thread,
I said, what time is he, if he's getting up at like,
what was it, was it three or something?
He said four or something mad like that?
No, he said 2.30. He said 2.30, right. He 30 right he said what time like they said what time are you getting to bed and he said there's 8 30 you're going to bed at 8 30 fucking
nerd oh yeah that's cool yeah oh did you watch eastenders last night no i was asleep
too late yeah too late for me you're just giving yourself a fucking night shift
you're brushing your teeth
people are up then
they're doing the night shift
they're shoveling shit
back in our day
it was just called
the night shift
yeah
and listen
you cannot tell me
sorry
be quiet Peter
stop kicking the ball
against the wall
outside the house
because dad's been
on the grind
since midnight
yeah
he's been grinding
exactly
if you are brushing your teeth
in the ad break
for coronation
street you're not a hustler you're not a high achiever that's exactly what i am doing yeah
we need it we're dying we're not very well but it is like and and it sort of really hits home with
the um silicon valley bank that uh i'll mash up this week, or last week rather.
It was just funny that it sounds very much like these people who are all about commitment
and working on your grind and working on your hustle
and sort of seeing projects through to the finish
and stuff like that.
They're the first ones to absolutely shit their fucking pants.
I'm not getting involved in another Bitcoin crash.
I'm pulling all of my money out.
The money's at Joe's house. And what's remarkable
to me is that, you know, what that
looks like, and I'm obviously by no means a financial
expert. My next door neighbour is in
FinTech. He's very clever.
And I ask him questions.
Don't know why. Just to make conversation.
Don't understand any of the answers.
And regularly embarrass myself. But
what he was
talking about was the idea that um this svb thing was like a liquidity issue right so whereas you
remember back in the day i think it was 2008 with the northern rock run on the bank where people
queuing up outside to get their deposits and that kind of stuff yeah well what basically happened
with that as far as i can understand with the silicon valley bank was that people were doing
the same thing but of course because it's a digital online world we live in now they didn't have to wait till
monday morning they were just doing it all the time everyone was doing it and then the word
spread on the internet that everyone was doing it and they run out of money so essentially it's a
bit like you can't even and then what what the big criticism of the american government was that like
they didn't put a meeting in about it until like 11 o'clock on the Monday right
and it's like no
you can't wait
until 11 o'clock
on the Monday now
this is happening
like now
it's Saturday morning
you can't wait
just because
traditionally the banks
would have been closed
transactions are available
24-7 on people's apps
and stuff
so it was like
a massive learning curve
for them
but I don't think
it was indicative
of a
I don't forget
it doesn't seem
to have been affecting us
I mean I checked
earlier and I'm still skint so
it should be fine. I've seen your wallpaper
mate. I'm not surprised
Don't talk about that. Don't talk about the
wallpaper. The wallpaper issue was that
and this is very much a first world problem and I'm not
expecting this to be relatable
but we bought some patterns
this is going to be one of the
worst things I've ever said.
Get this on social.
Get this on social.
And I'm going to do this.
Oh, no.
Oh, darling.
And for anyone who sees it kind of like,
who aren't a fan of Luke and Pete,
or they've never seen Luke and Pete's show,
they don't know who I am.
I'm just a spiv going, oh, darling.
I mean, it's awful, isn't it?
This will be like the high-low.
Oh, you have to go to Farron Ball.
Oh, B-grade, darling. I mean it's awful isn't it this would be like the high low oh did you have a good farron ball oh B grade darling
everyone would be like oh the high low
you know with thingy and that other girl
it's brilliant isn't it it's so good is it
yeah you don't like me slagging off other shows
I know but I listened to that show and I thought
this is just like our show but they're just
posh women
so why has it got more credibility
oh because they're talking about the fucking whip credibility? Oh, because they're talking about fucking the fucking Whipbread Booker Prize.
And we're talking about fucking people eating army rations from the 1940s.
Now they're better than us.
People rubbing bread on a toilet and eating the bread.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Anyway, the wallpaper.
Right.
Yeah, so the issue, the big error I made was I've measured up the,
I didn't measure it. someone else measured it for me,
that made it absolutely clear.
We measured up the wall for the amount of wallpaper we needed
and then bought the square meterage for that wallpaper area.
Right.
But then I subsequently realised that because it's patterned wallpaper
and the pattern only repeats once every so often,
half the wet wallpaper's
fucking useless
so you have to
buy four times
the amount
sorry
oh no
but I think
yeah
it's difficult
isn't it
because you not
just have one room
that's a bit mental
that's what I said
to my wife
can we just have
one room
like the toilet
where it's just
all just mad
proper
mad my brain hurts the guy called me when I was at work and he was like oh we've put half the wallpaper up can we just have one room like the toilet where it's just all just mad proper mad
my brain hurts
the guy called me
when I was at work
and he was like
oh we've put half the wallpaper up
I was like oh that's good
he's like nah
we're short
and the only options you've got
are to buy loads more
or take all of this down
I was like
oh for fuck's sake
so that's the problem
with the wallpaper
I know it's not relatable
I know no one cares
I know I'm not
fucking Pandora Sykes.
But that's just what happened.
Pandora the jewel person
or whatever.
Yeah.
It's not the same person, is it?
I'm thinking of Wanda Sykes
from Ally McBeal.
She used to do the singing.
Did she use to do the singing?
I think she did.
It doesn't matter.
She's like World Association,
the care home.
It really is.
But with my Ally McBeal,
nobody talks about Ally McBeal anymore.
Is she still going out with Harrison Ford?
Did you once say that Ally McBeal was your favourite ever show?
It used to be back in the day with the Dancing Baby and the unisex toilets.
I wish I had known you when you were in your Ally McBeal, Macy Gray phase.
I think there was a couple of years between Ally McBeal time and Macy Gray
but I loved her no-nonsense
lawyer.
Was she a lawyer? I think she was a lawyer, wasn't she?
I've never seen a single episode.
Why is lawyering so sexy
in America? I know it's like it's a very litigious
country but like
whenever we've had to sort of
use the services of
a legal firm, a media law firm
I'm always very excited about the letters they write
because they're just very precise, they're very
forthright. You get firewalled from the
process but you're also always asked to read the letters
Yeah, correct, yeah, yeah, I just want to
know what they're saying because it's so sexy
to me to
It's a flex, isn't it? Yeah, it's brilliant, absolutely
I love it when they do a little lawyerly flex at the end
and what's more, we strongly recommend you go fuck yourself. Pretty much Yeah, it's brilliant. Absolutely fucking brilliant. I love it when they do a little loyally flex at the end. And what's more?
We strongly recommend you go fuck yourself.
Pretty much, yeah.
It's like we will not be continuing to comment further down the slide. So they'll be like tendrils and then they'll sort of decide not to.
We are not continuing to talk down that because that's mental.
And it's just so cool.
There's not a single situation I can think of where if you and I had to lead on that kind of legal thing
and we drafted any kind of
legal letter ourselves in response
there's not a single situation
I can think of where we wouldn't somehow
make it worse.
And that makes it exciting.
I would just be dressed improperly.
They'd go, you're just
you're just kind of...
No, but what I'm saying is if someone said to you
look we're a bit short staffed
this week
we need you to write
a legal letter
in response to this
can you just do it now
in some way
shape or form
you'd make it worse
yeah
you'd make a mistake
yeah
about the law
and you'd be fucked
I'd be like
the stakes are high
is what I'm saying
yeah I would
yeah I'd fuck it up
I think I'd just use I'd use too many F words for is what I'm saying yeah I would yeah I'd fuck it up I think I'd just use
I'd use too many
F words for a courtroom
I think that's kind of
I think that's too
why are you in the courtroom
all of a sudden
I only asked you to write a letter
where are you taking this
what do you think this is
if I'm defending you
in a court law
has Pete written that letter
he's in the courtroom
he's where
I've not said that
he's sitting right between the lines
he's gone straight there
he's just gone down a crown court
Excuse me sir
This court's not in session
Can I have a court now please
I want free
Come on stop pissing about
It's not like a squash court
Time is money
I'm a lawyer don't you know
You can't just book one
I'm a salish at all
Put your shorts on
Speaking of putting shorts on
Did you see that
Dick Fosbury died
The Fosbury flop man
Yeah
Tell everyone about who
he is because it's an amazing man who literally invented the modern high jump technique of
flopping over the over the um thing i was quite good for a sharp man on the old high jump when
i was a kid and i was and and you could i don't know whether this is post fosbury right because
that was the 1968 olympics so you're well into fosbury era there post for fosbury when i was
like 1568,
I was quite good
at the high jump
for a man my,
I'm quite springy
for a little one.
And I think sort of,
I remember like Fosbury flop
really stuck in the old head.
It's snappy, isn't it?
It's snappy.
It is.
It's nice.
It's good stuff.
It really is great stuff.
But the, yeah,
I mean, like I'll,
it's a cool name um i've never heard that
name before i don't ever hear it again and um yeah the guy just invented everyone was doing
the high jump i don't know how they were doing it probably diving over like forward maybe there
was a scissor there was a scissor jump at one point then there's a i think a dive over front
ways so do you know do you know how the fosbury flop actually works in terms of the physics of it
i've read about this before.
You sort of arch your back and sort of rotate,
sort of corkscrew through the air. Yeah, so you arch your back,
but the reason you're arching your back
and creating like a U-shape of your body
is because you're essentially bringing the centre of gravity
far lower than your actual waist is.
Oh, so you can therefore go higher.
The head and the feet are lower than, yeah.
Okay, right, I get you.
I get you.
Good. Yeah, so what I would say is this, that, you than, yeah, okay, right, I get you. I get you. Good.
Yeah, so what I would say is this, that, you know,
in the Olympic high jump final in the Mexico 68 Olympics,
he won the gold medal, right?
He cleared 2 metres 24, right?
But one thing that's worth pointing out is that his Fosbury flop
was all pretty good and all that.
And everyone thought it was an interesting thing.
But the world record wasn't broken by anyone doing the Fosbury flop, I think, until like three years later.
So I feel like the jury's still out for quite a long time, even though he did that.
Yeah.
No.
Okay.
So, yeah, I'd probably agree with him on that one.
So what I'm saying is it's not like he just started doing it and all of a sudden
anyone any man
his dog could just
jump two metres
it wasn't like that
he was still really good
yeah
it's quite a good
legacy though isn't it
it's quite a cool thing
to come along and do
something completely
differently
and change the entire
spot from start to finish
and everybody does it
yeah and no one's
done anything differently
since right
and it's probably
that's you know
when they were doing the high jump
and that man just brought that pole that time
and then it became pole vaulting.
Like, it's people who just look beyond.
I'm not sure that's what happened.
I think that's what happened.
Like, well, the guy just picked up the ball
and invented rugby.
I don't reckon he did invent rugby.
I reckon he got a fucking right pounding
to start with.
A right pounding, yeah, exactly.
The way they tell that story
about the posh fella who invented rugby,
he got bored of football
at rugby school
and picked up a ball
and started running with it.
And people tell that story
and everyone was like,
oh, he's invented a new sport.
There's no way that happened.
People are like,
what are you fucking doing,
you moron?
That's a foul.
That's a free kick.
Lordy.
Lordy.
I like Dick Fosbury.
I like the fact
that he's done what he's done.
But let me also just tell you this.
Now, I don't know this for a fact,
but I'm fairly certain it's got to be close.
The world record for the high jump is 2 metres 45.
It's by a guy called Javier Sotomayor,
who's a famous Cuban high jumper.
That record has been held by him since 1993.
That's good stuff.
Doesn't that seem mad, given how quickly the 100 metres is run now?
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
I think that's fair.
So maybe someone needs to come up with a new technique
to go over and above what they're doing on the old uh fosbury flop
because yeah the 100 meters record of course has been broken it's broken what in what 2009
but back in 1993 the 100 meters world record was 9.86 it's now 9.58
that is a that that's i mean in the it, you'd want to be kind of like...
It'd be getting a bit higher,
like quicker, wouldn't you?
Like, you know, like how...
Maybe there's a limit
to how high you can actually go.
They say that, don't they?
There'll be a guy who can do it.
So what about...
So if you...
Could...
Is it in theory possible
for someone to run 100 metres
in three seconds?
If the timeline's long enough
but you reckon like the boat like your bones wouldn't be able to handle going that fast or
something mad like that like you'd like there'll be someone born yeah i mean i can't there will
be obviously a limit but it'll like get down to i reckon you'll get to down to five seconds
it's interesting to think of what the limit would be is what i'm saying yeah what was like the because my because my um because sarah's mate wes um was tasked with
writing the um the lines on the 200 on the 400 meter track uh at school one time right and uh
what painting them you mean painting them yeah yeah so that was kind of his thing he was a
grounds person he was a groundsman and uh he
was tasked with his mate to paint around he sort of did it all right and then uh the the p teacher
rang up went are you sure that these have been painted right because there's a lot of kids
breaking like massive world records that is nice i love that did he not even bother measuring it
i don't know how would you measure it honestly
it's one of those things
that was probably solved
in a
even a middle set
GCSE textbook
but I haven't got
a fucking clue
yeah
because if you
if you pull one of those
what are those things
called with the wheel
on the end of a stick
that you measure with
a trundle wheel
yes if you use a trundle wheel
so the first thing I do
if someone tasks me with that
is I get a trundle wheel and I measure out i'll do if someone tasks me with that is i get a trundle wheel and i'd measure out 100 meters then 100 meters in the curve then do it's the curve
though isn't it yeah but there's no fucking way that's gonna be straight i'd love to know how to
do that you'd need some kind of machine you wouldn't need a machine people have been doing
this for years crop circles people have been doing crop circles for years i love the crop circles um
i love the crop circles vibe i love the fact that basically it was just a bunch of piss heads
in the West Country
with plexiglass pieces of rope
going out after the pub closed.
It's good stuff.
It's brilliant.
All right, we've got to hit an ad break
and I'll be back with some memos
and that's right with you,
Lukey Moore.
I'll take control of this.
Yeah, do it.
I'll wrangle this buffalo.
I wish you would.
We'll be back in a second.
See you in a bit.
Enjoy the ads.
Oh, adverts. It's time some emails lukey muir you promised uh to have a pop at me about mr fucking beast well it's not me
having a pop it's our listenership um i'm merely the conduit oh i see um our friend dan well he's
my friend if he'll be your friend by the end of this but um i'd like to hear your uh input on this
mate dan says more than both hope you hope you're well passive aggressive start based on what comes your friend by the end of this, but I'd like to hear your input on this, mate. Dan says,
Morning, both.
Hope you're well.
Passive aggressive start,
based on what comes next.
Yeah.
I appreciate a lot of your comments on YouTubers.
However, your comments on MrBeast
are very far from the mark
and he should actually be someone you are promoting.
His whole thing...
He needs our help.
Yeah.
His whole thing is any money he makes
from his videos, merchandise, or food
is invested back into the videos or funds his philanthropy arm of his company,
which has planted 24 million trees, 33 million pounds of trash removed from seas,
and 3.3 million meals provided, presumably to poor people,
although Dan doesn't say that.
He also provides toys and furniture to those less fortunate,
gives people new cars, houses, school educations, etc.
He videos a lot of what he does to raise awareness
and raise money to fund all the above.
He lives in his recording studio, doesn't have a big house,
and sold all of his cars he bought when he first started YouTube.
He gets huge sponsorship deals on his videos because of how popular they are,
but the deals pay for all he does.
He's one of the good guys, if not the best guy on YouTube.
All he does is give back.
His persona and videos
offer the sole aim
of generating more income
to give back.
He's committed to giving away
every penny he ever makes
before he dies.
Please do some research on him,
as I do think it's someone
you should promote.
Dan.
Reads like it was written
by a chat bot.
Sounds like it was written
by Mr. Fucking Beast, mate.
I don't think he's bothered.
No.
Are you doubling down on that?
Are you going to double down on that or not?
I mean, I've posted.
Are you going to apologise?
I'm not going to apologise.
It's exactly what I'm not going to do.
I'm not going to apologise.
They, I would say.
Because I'm agnostic on Mr. Beast.
I'll be honest.
That's my position.
I don't know enough about it.
So I'm handing it over to you, Peter.
I'm going toostic on Mr Beast, I'll be honest, that's my position, I don't know enough about it, so I'm handing it over to you, Peter, I'm going to trust you on this.
The thing, like, the last time I slated PewDiePie for...
Yeah, but he said some Nazi stuff.
Playing PUBG as well.
Was it?
It was, he was on a bridge, Google it.
I didn't, I'm not going to Google it, obviously.
Bridge, PewDiePie, there you go, have it.
Right.
PewDiePie.
There you go, have it.
Right.
Last time I slagged off him,
I was assaulted by a string,
a slew,
an army of PewDiePie fans.
And I think that I have not got to 41 years old without seeing people like this
and seeing the things that they do
and see the manner in which they do stuff.
Yeah. Not being a little bit like, People like this and seeing the things that they do and see the manner in which they do stuff.
Yeah.
Not being a little bit like,
this is all going to fall to bits, isn't it?
Surely.
But you said that about the bootlegger.
I did say that about the bootlegger. I said, I love the bootlegger
and you keep telling me that he's going to let me down.
He's going to let you down.
I just feel like Mr Beast won't let you down at all.
I just think that there's no justice in the world
because if Mr Beast went to an indie night and did a roly-poly
and all his doggy treats fell out of his pocket,
people would give that 10 million views.
It would, yeah! He's the roly-poly indie night
man. Roly-poly, doggy treat,
indie night man. What is your beef with
Beast? I just think
his philanthropy is, by
its very nature, performative.
But does that matter, philosophically?
If I give 10 million pounds to charity and then tell everyone how much i love doing it does that make it the money worth less to the charity but is it not just a byproduct of a good
act the tenor of the the the the um the video i mean is literally just getting a lot of people
who have who have got cataracts
and getting rid of their cataracts and going,
I've just allowed all of these blind people to see.
Like some kind of fucking Jesus.
Right, so it's arrogance, I guess.
You could just do that anyway without telling everyone about it.
But that's not going to raise the awareness like Dan says, is it?
But all of his other videos, a lot of his other videos are not uh um uh altruistic a lot
of his videos are like my mate steve's gonna um live in this house for three days and i'm gonna
try and get him to leave the house and he's going up the window and he's gone giving it flicking the
v he's going fucking fucking dickhead uh oh what's in the taps oh it's all oils coming out the taps
oh you can't drink that and it's just all a bit
fucking crap
it's just all a bit
I'm going to make something
that you
conceptually
are familiar with
but I'm going to just
make it bigger
oh
have you ever seen a car
well I've just made
a massive fucking car
and the kids go
yeah
massive fucking car
I ain't never seen
anything like it
and it's just all very forgettable.
You haven't forgotten any of it by the sound of it.
He didn't make a big car.
But he did rip off Squid Games, didn't he?
And at the end, after he ripped off Squid Games,
he did say, thanks for all the hard work on Squid Games,
the guys who made Squid Games.
We couldn't have done it without you.
Fucking damn right you fucking couldn't have, you moron.
So it's just all, it's just,
I don't think he's necessarily the issue,
but I think this kind of performative,
pranksy kind of bollocks,
we could do without.
I wish you'd prank us, we'd get loads of views.
Oh, she'd prank us.
Mr. Donaldson.
From one Donaldson to another Donaldson.
From one beast to a literal beast. From the North East. The beast from the North East. Pete Donaldson to another Donaldson. From one beast to a literal beast.
From the North East.
The beast from the North East.
Pete Donaldson.
Have you finished?
Come on the show.
Let's have a chat.
Let's have a...
I think he lives in some town
and he has like 100 employees
and all this stuff and it's all...
I don't know.
I would just like to provide an addendum to this
and just reach out to Dan directly,
the email there,
and say, Dan,
I really appreciate you getting in touch and we appreciate your to Dan directly, the emailer, and say, Dan, I really appreciate
you getting in touch and we appreciate your support as a listener
to the Luke and Pete show, genuinely and sincerely.
But the
kind of tone in your email
is of someone who's adopted a faith
position about someone that you don't know
and it's almost a bit like
there's people who, well, yeah, that's
fine, but people know what they're coming for
when they listen to you
okay fair yeah
badly thought out
there's people who
kind of act like on Twitter
they would take a bullet
for Elon Musk
for no reason
right yeah
it's fine for you
to love Mr Beast
as much as you want
but it's also fine
for Pete to not like him
and it doesn't affect
your relationship
with Mr Beast
and the content he creates
if Pete doesn't like it
it doesn't matter
so don't get too
exercised about it.
It would be my advice.
I know you're not asking for advice.
You kind of are because you emailed in.
Don't let it get you down because different people like different things and that's fine.
But if we're slagging him off, people who are kind of on the fence, don't turn on MrBeast.
Don't be a Judas Beast.
Well, do if you want.
Okay, right.
It's up to you.
It's up to you. It's up to you.
Alright, fine. We're going to move on from that because I've got an email here I've been looking forward to doing for a while
and I'd like to end the
show with it if it's all the same to you, Peter.
Okie dokie. And it's from our friend Sam
who says the following.
This is a good story. I think you guys will like this.
He says, hello chaps. Regarding Pete's murder
mystery night that he attended recently, that was
when you were down in the West Country dressed as a Tudor,
I believe, and you had to get to Wembley for the League Cup final
the same day.
Remember that story?
You were dressed as a Tudor anyway in a murder mystery thing.
Sam says, I've got quite an embarrassing and funny story
regarding a murder mystery night I got caught up in
while working security at a hotel.
Shouldn't have got involved.
Shouldn't have been getting involved.
This happened about a year ago and was one of my first nights working security at this
particular hotel.
So I was still learning the ropes.
Bearing in mind that when I turned up for my shift, the hotel management didn't bother
to let me know that there was a murder mystery taking place that evening.
Nice.
I like it.
About halfway through my shift, I heard quite the commotion going on
in one of the function rooms.
So naturally, I went to investigate.
Now imagine my surprise
when I discovered a gentleman
lying on the floor
in said function room
with a knife sticking out of his stomach
and blood pouring out of his mouth.
Obviously, upon discovering this,
I was absolutely terrified
considering that it looked as if
someone had been murdered
in cold blood on my watch.
I made a quick phone call to the police explaining what had happened but about halfway through the phone call
one of the doors to the function room swung open and in came all the other guests who were taking
part in this murder mystery game naturally they began howling with laughter when they saw what was
taking place and the fact that i thought it was all real i then had to explain to the police when
they turned up at the hotel that what had just happened wasn't actually real
and was just a game.
How was I supposed to know any different?
It was very embarrassing though.
Love the show.
Keep up the good work.
Sam.
Good on you, Sam,
because if I was in that situation,
I would have so much personal pride
that I would have set about
every last one of those guests
with my billy club.
I presume you've got one.
I presume you're allowed one.
You would have committed a murder.
I would have committed a murder. I you would have committed a murder i would have
been just fucking
elbows all over the
place like how dare
how dare you trick a
man of the cloth law
law not law security
man of the cloth i
don't know there you
get a little bit of
cloth with your um
security tag on your
arm don't you
that's not what it
means is it man of
the cloth means a
priest man of the
cloth or can it just
mean a religious
person no i think man
of the cloth is just um uh uh an religious person No I think man of the cloth Is just
Anglican
It's not even
It's just Anglican
Or man of the cloth
I thought it was vicar
I think it was only vicar
What I like about it
Is that
It's actually a really good nickname
Right
You know like when you've
Said to me before
The coolest thing that ever
Happened to you when you were a kid
Is when a guy walked into
An off-licence and said
I don't want no beer
Because I'm a hiney man
I'm a hiney man yeah I don't want that kind that beer because I'm a hiney man. I'm a hiney man, yeah.
I don't want that kind of lager.
I'm a hiney man.
That's just cool.
How old were you
when that happened?
Oh, no, I was about 23.
It was around the corner from you.
It was on North Park.
Why are you impressed by that
when you're 23?
It's just cool.
What was he dressed like?
It was the same straight that over the road there
was a deli and a man sold me some blooming um halloumi cheese for a cheesecake he said i've
got some halloumi in uh i'm gonna make a cheesecake out of it you should buy some and i bought some
and i was like how do you make a cheesecake out of this it turns out you can't turns out you can't
what was the hiney man dressed like in my mind he's dressed like like josh oh he's very he's very
dirty hoodie paints on his trousers it wasn't cool it wasn't cool but i thought he was dressed like like josh he's very dirty hoodie pants and his
trousers it wasn't cool it wasn't cool but i thought he'd be like a cowboy yeah yeah so you
never told me before that someone sold you halloumi cheese and told you you can make a cheesecake with
it i did yeah because you just go i've got some love it was in delhi and i got on with the guy
but it wasn't a surprise you bought anything he told you yeah it wasn't a successful delhi it
wasn't like a uh yeah it wasn't successful delhii. It wasn't like a... Yeah, it wasn't a successful deli at all, really.
So what did you do with the halloumi?
Just kicked it up and ate it?
Yeah, just fried it.
Just fried it, ate it.
I mean, with halloumi,
you never know when it goes off, really.
I ate a fucking egg that was honestly
25 days out of date last week.
And you know what my constitution...
Stop it. You know what my constitution... Stop it.
You know what my constitution's like?
I do not need a second invitation to fucking get ill.
And I finished the egg and I was like,
why was there just only one egg?
And why was it down the back of the...
Oh, God, it's fucking 25 days out of date.
And I know eggs last a while,
but it wasn't in the refrigerator.
And it was just like, I'd just eaten the whole egg.
It's fine.
I know it's fine.
Just never fucking roulette
Why are you just eating one egg?
Fucking roulette.
Just fucking roulette.
What type of egg?
How did you cook it?
I just had a fried egg
on a bit of bread
with my mum, mate.
Lovely old job.
Why is everything you say
so depressing?
I know,
I live in a nice house.
I've got nice things.
And yet,
I drag it all down
to my level
awful
you know there's a little tip
if you're worried about
an egg being out of date
or rotten
you just put it in a
bowl of water
if it sinks it's rotten
no if it floats it's rotten
because all the gases are in it
oh piss
it sounds like it was fine though
good for you
it sounds like it was floating
in the middle
at best it was floating
in the middle
how are you still alive
I know.
Awful.
You made it through, though.
We've made it through another show,
so we should go.

last words from you? Bearing in mind that as soon

around? Maybe I should make them just stick around

So maybe...
