Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:21 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.
Starting point is 00:00:32 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
Starting point is 00:00:44 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.
Starting point is 00:01:00 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,
Starting point is 00:01:19 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
Starting point is 00:01:29 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
Starting point is 00:01:35 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
Starting point is 00:01:42 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...
Starting point is 00:01:50 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.
Starting point is 00:01:59 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.
Starting point is 00:02:12 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,
Starting point is 00:02:25 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
Starting point is 00:02:38 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 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,
Starting point is 00:03:00 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
Starting point is 00:03:36 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.
Starting point is 00:03:52 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
Starting point is 00:04:19 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
Starting point is 00:04:40 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?
Starting point is 00:04:49 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
Starting point is 00:05:01 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,
Starting point is 00:05:14 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
Starting point is 00:05:40 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
Starting point is 00:05:52 yeah and listen you cannot tell me sorry be quiet Peter stop kicking the ball against the wall outside the house
Starting point is 00:05:57 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
Starting point is 00:06:04 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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.
Starting point is 00:06:56 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
Starting point is 00:07:19 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
Starting point is 00:07:47 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
Starting point is 00:07:52 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
Starting point is 00:08:00 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
Starting point is 00:08:10 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.
Starting point is 00:08:25 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,
Starting point is 00:08:37 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
Starting point is 00:08:51 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.
Starting point is 00:09:12 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,
Starting point is 00:09:26 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
Starting point is 00:09:47 so you have to buy four times the amount sorry oh no but I think yeah it's difficult
Starting point is 00:09:55 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
Starting point is 00:10:01 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
Starting point is 00:10:08 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
Starting point is 00:10:16 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:36 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.
Starting point is 00:10:45 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?
Starting point is 00:11:12 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
Starting point is 00:11:27 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
Starting point is 00:11:44 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
Starting point is 00:12:08 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...
Starting point is 00:12:23 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
Starting point is 00:12:32 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
Starting point is 00:12:41 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
Starting point is 00:12:49 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
Starting point is 00:12:56 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
Starting point is 00:13:07 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
Starting point is 00:13:16 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
Starting point is 00:13:25 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,
Starting point is 00:13:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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
Starting point is 00:14:16 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
Starting point is 00:14:35 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,
Starting point is 00:14:53 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.
Starting point is 00:15:19 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
Starting point is 00:15:28 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
Starting point is 00:15:34 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
Starting point is 00:15:43 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.
Starting point is 00:15:56 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
Starting point is 00:16:08 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,
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:51 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...
Starting point is 00:17:26 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...
Starting point is 00:17:37 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
Starting point is 00:17:57 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
Starting point is 00:18:43 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
Starting point is 00:18:54 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
Starting point is 00:18:59 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
Starting point is 00:19:26 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,
Starting point is 00:19:36 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.
Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:10 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.
Starting point is 00:20:23 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.
Starting point is 00:20:46 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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,
Starting point is 00:21:14 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.
Starting point is 00:21:26 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.
Starting point is 00:21:37 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...
Starting point is 00:21:51 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.
Starting point is 00:22:01 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
Starting point is 00:22:22 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
Starting point is 00:22:36 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
Starting point is 00:22:52 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
Starting point is 00:23:22 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
Starting point is 00:23:45 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
Starting point is 00:24:11 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
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:24:32 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,
Starting point is 00:24:50 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.
Starting point is 00:25:05 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
Starting point is 00:25:14 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
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:25:44 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
Starting point is 00:25:50 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
Starting point is 00:25:58 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.
Starting point is 00:26:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:41 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
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:21 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
Starting point is 00:27:31 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.
Starting point is 00:27:43 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.
Starting point is 00:28:09 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
Starting point is 00:28:20 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
Starting point is 00:28:28 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
