Starting point is 00:00:00 everything is blurry everything is something else puddle of mud there on the luke and pete show uh because because in this new economy we could just it's not we're not playing copyrighted music. We're remixing it, Luke. We're playing with it. We're tearing at the fabrics and reimagining it. Basically, the world of IP infringement is a Mr. Potato Head, and as long as you just move the features around a little bit, everything's fine.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Oh, yeah. We were slagging off, weren't we, the old Limp Bizkit lyrics the other week. I think Puddle of Mud probably sent them pretty close. They probably did force them into a photo finish. I'm fairly certain that Fred Durst was instrumental in Puddle of Mud getting a record deal. I might have got that massively wrong.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I think we have only barely scratched the surface of Fred Durst's crimes against music up until now. Over time, they will come to the fore and there will be us out there who stood tall at the time and now saying, we always knew, we always knew the crimes against music and popular culture that man was capable of. It wasn't just a backwards cap.
Starting point is 00:01:16 That was the tip of the iceberg. There was a lot more going on. Is there any, so, oh God, what was the name of that? Zing Duo. I'm going to type their name into uh yeah so zing duo is a saxophonist uh male and female vocal uh group duo uh if you will who uh basically just play hotels up and down where i went on holiday last week no bongos just a saxophonist a woman from liverpool who sings uh beautifully and plays her saxophone uh while another bloke uh basically just
Starting point is 00:01:53 uh plays plays the uh plays the piano and i think also he doubles up as a elton john enthusiast slash um cover artist as well uh But well worth a Google. Zing Duo. Give them a look. They are just great stuff. They're just great stuff. They do so many different acts. Zing Duo, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I'm looking at them now. I'm looking at the old Insta. I don't think they do look great. I think they look absolutely terrible. I'm not having a go at them. I think, you know, they're doing their thing. They're making their money. Good on them.
Starting point is 00:02:28 They're having a great time. And there's nothing wrong with that. And like I said, I'm not having a go, but I just don't like it. How much do you reckon... With stuff like that, it's quite light, I suppose. Kind of all you need is a saxophone, a piano, and I guess a piano or something. is there is there is there something to be said for like how much money they're making a night that's what i'm thinking well if you get
Starting point is 00:02:52 a book for the season you probably get a decent wish don't you but i think it's fine for me to say that i don't think they look very good i'm not expecting them to like our show you know that's true what if they were i'm looking for a bit of fellow kind of performer solidarity they probably never listened to an episode they never will they everyone listens to podcasts these days they've probably scrolled past this podcast and thought i'm not listening to that doesn't sound very good no that's up to them yeah but if i went to that to a hotel and they were playing in the lobby i wouldn't do anything drastic i wouldn't ask to check out or whatever but i probably think see it as a minor inconvenience to my stay i wouldn't do anything drastic. I wouldn't ask to check out or whatever, but I'd probably see it as a minor inconvenience to my stay. I wouldn't do anything drastic.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I'd get really upset. Do you know what? One of the worst things to happen is when a guy playing the guitar or whatever comes up to your table while you're eating dinner. Is there anyone that likes that? Yeah. is there anyone that likes that yeah it's it's more it's more just the i don't have a i don't i don't really carry cash anymore so i can't tip do you know what i mean but you you cannot stop putting your hand in your pocket and getting cash out to solve all your problems that's that's not
Starting point is 00:03:57 what they're asking for they're already being paid all right okay yeah my point my my issue isn't that my issue is it's, okay, a slightly different way, but perhaps related, and maybe I'm on shakier ground. By the way, did you do an intro? I can't even remember. I wasn't listening. I think I just sang Puddle of Mud. Blurry.
Starting point is 00:04:16 It's the Luke and Pete show. I'm Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Luke Moore. It's basically, if you like Puddle of Mud, you'll love the Luke and Pete show, because they're the only fuckers who are mentioning them. Yeah, they're fucking only fuckers who are mentioning them yeah they're fucking delighted
Starting point is 00:04:26 to get a mention their Google alert set up on their email address will be fucking popping off for the first time in years I all I was going to say was it's
Starting point is 00:04:35 it's it's of the same genre as the let's all come up and sing happy birthday to someone in a restaurant when it's their birthday
Starting point is 00:04:42 now if you're over the age of fucking 10 I don't think you should enjoy that i don't know if you've ever had it sung to you in the uh rainforest cafe which uh is definitely what happened uh to me one time when a friend was uh taking the piss being seen there's a little stitch up that's fine it's a great little gag it's a great little gag but yeah i don't mind yeah i don't mind you can i mean surely you must think say you're out particularly say you're out say you're out on a first date or something and you're having dinner at a restaurant and you've
Starting point is 00:05:13 i don't know you've booked somewhere without really thinking about it did it last minute yeah and it was okay but it wasn't great and there was a guy with an acoustic guitar and he came up and started singing right next to your table. Yeah. You're telling me you'd enjoy that? I think if he was singing about me, like sort of going, he's a little man with his little moustache. He looks kind of skinny, but he's also got a little bit of a belly on him.
Starting point is 00:05:35 He's a man who's gone to seed. And he just sings a little song about me. I think that would be a lovely little moment. You would hate that. No, I would fucking abhor it. And rightly so. I hate magic. I hate people who just...
Starting point is 00:05:48 I just hate people who get in my face. And you are one who loves getting in people's faces. I mean, what do you mean by that, though? Because I'm not rude, am I? No. You're just... You're perfect because you just want to know... I like to poke and prod.
Starting point is 00:06:03 You like to poke and prod. You like to poke and prod. Basically, I was watching this little mini documentary about some lads who sort of go around kind of basically just Trump rallies and stuff and just shove a microphone under someone's nose like a biker rally or a flat earth rally and just kind of count the seconds until they start talking about the Jews. And,
Starting point is 00:06:28 and, and they always, they always, and it was quite, it was quite beautiful. He did sort of go, honestly, you don't even ask,
Starting point is 00:06:35 I have to ask a leading question about the Jews. You just wait. And they always just mentioned the fucking Jews eventually. And I was just talking about, yeah. And, and they, and this guy,
Starting point is 00:06:45 they've got like a motorhome, young lad, and he just goes around these kind of rallies and just wears a dirty old charity shop suit and just basically just puts a microphone
Starting point is 00:06:54 under people's faces and stuff. And you're a little bit like that. It's basically the job you used to do at Absolute Radio at the White Festival. They were there. If you're there on the red carpet, expect me to have a chat to you about your fucking new album.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Charity shop suit, check. Shoveling a microphone in people's face, check. Bad conspiracy theorist, check. What were they saying, these guys? Was it good? What's it called? You can't remember, can you? I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:07:18 It was a Vice documentary about these lads. Do they still do some good ones, Vice? They used to do some really good ones. Yeah, here and there think the the the belly's fallen out of it a little bit but uh yeah it's it was it's quite a nice piece about a couple of lads just doing the thing i watched a i watched a documentary three-part documentary on discovery plus um yeah well because um the wi-Fi I have access to has got an affliction where she will automatically subscribe to any premium piece of content available in our house.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Yeah, and you don't know... I bet you don't even know how many subscriptions you've... No, and the thing about it is, because it's impossible to keep up with, I think I've been sitting on a lot of good quality TV that I didn't think I could watch because i found out that i can anyway there was this documentary series three-parter called unprecedented on discovery plus yeah about um the 2020 election and the great thing is because the trump campaign the trump operation is honestly so
Starting point is 00:08:21 unprofessional yeah this guy called Alex someone, I forget his name, I heard about this documentary because I heard him interviewed about it and I thought, oh, that sounds interesting, I'll go and watch that. And he basically, as a British filmmaker, of no real kind of repute, I mean, it's a pretty good documentary,
Starting point is 00:08:40 it's not amazing, but it's okay. My point is, he's not like Werner Herzog or Nick Broomfield. He's a jobbing guy, really. He's just got complete access to all the Trump family, and they didn't ask for any creative or editorial control. And what's happened is, he's come up with his three parts. The first one's on the campaign trail, the second one's on the election night,
Starting point is 00:09:00 I think, and the third one's on the January 6th thing, the storming of the Capitol. and the third one's on the January 6th thing. The storming of the capital. And as soon as it was released, the January 6th investigation committee said, well, we're subpoenaing all that footage. And just took all his footage because he's had so much amazing access
Starting point is 00:09:16 they didn't even know was happening. Yeah. Oh, lovely old job. Anyway, so that's worth a watch. It's quite interesting. I didn't think it was that good. Yeah. But it's very... i think he's on purpose he's made it very like succession okay he interviews all the kids interviews the dad like in the kind of settings and the set that you would see in the show succession um so it's quite
Starting point is 00:09:42 it's quite an interesting nod but it's pretty interesting anyway um i can't remember what i was gonna say but ultimately that is quite a good documentary to watch and going back to the vice thing they did a couple of really good ones one was about um the the musical phenomenon of donk okay yeah yeah we talked about that in was that in wigan was that yeah it was based in wigan yeah that's what we talked about and the other one was yeah because we mentioned it when we're talking about Richard Ashcroft, it was Vice who made that documentary, I think they called it.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And there was another one about an organised crime guy in Liverpool who was just the most terrifying man. He ran this gym and it was very, very frightening, but very interesting. We seemed to get really good access with that as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Can I interest you in a video that I completely neglected to send you right before we started. I've just sent it to your WhatsApp. Basically, the baseball season has been running for 300 million years at this point. Never stops. They reckon
Starting point is 00:10:40 that just this year the people who are watching the baseball are slowly starting to go a bit mad um and this is a really good example of it there's a man uh just describe what you put a straw through a hot dog he's putting a straw through a hot dog to make a hot dog a meaty straw effectively and then he's picked up his pint from the floor and he's just seeing what the pint tastes like sucked through the straw.
Starting point is 00:11:11 He's basically doing exactly what you do when you have to sit in one place for more than five minutes. Like, what have I got around me that I can turn into something? And if you've got nothing, you'll end up just drawing pictures. I remember once you drawing a picture of um a a heart after someone quite famous had a heart attack okay you wrote their name across it right and you gave it to me as a joke yeah i didn't think about it pinned it up on the notice board of my house yeah it's quite a nicely rendered nicely drawn thing
Starting point is 00:11:42 uh realized it in the background of all my videos during covid good stuff for months and months i wonder who that was your angle here suggesting that um the guy has been sent so mad by the longevity of baseball yeah that he's he's actually doing that he's just got and what i like about the video is we can post it online um via rory um it's basically him making it making his own little meaty straw and sucking the beer through it. I quite like the title of the video. It's Life Sentence, Sentence, No Parole.
Starting point is 00:12:17 It's going to taste disgusting, isn't it? Just fizzy lager and salty hot dog- water uh aka um the uh and and and what i like about it is he's just going about it he's not showing off to his friends i think he's alone i think he's there alone and he's just he's almost certainly alone in a lot of aspects of his life doing that oh lordy peter speaking of um rights things as well something i also forgot to mention that i really wanted to ask you about is have you heard the and rory can play this out um i don't think it matters in terms of rights um have you heard the the sound of the black hole yeah to be honest i think if anyone's anybody thinks they can kind of assert the rights to the sound of a fucking black hole.
Starting point is 00:13:07 I mean, good on you. Good luck. And we've got nothing but respect for the James Webb Space Telescope. No one supported that more than us. So, yeah, we deserve it. You've heard it, right? I've heard it, yeah. It's pretty incredible.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Yeah, it's basically, it's not exactly the sound of a black hole, but it's certainly the sound of it. I don't know what it is. I didn't really read it properly, as you can well imagine. But it's the closest approximation of what a black hole actually sounds like, no? Yeah, so it's essentially built from a load of different data. But first of all, let's give it a listen. All right. There you go, see, it's quite spooky. That is quite spooky.
Starting point is 00:13:58 It sounds like something off the video game Mass Effect 3. Yeah, it sounds like exactly what you'd imagine one to sound like, which I like. But secondly secondly so to answer your question i believe it's built from a load of different data points but what they've also had to do is they've had to bump it up about four million octaves and they've had to speed it up because i think the cycle is something like 10 million years to to manipulate it to get to a position where you can actually hear it yeah but I suppose, I mean, I'm not a scientist or an astronomer. I suppose it's probably accurately, I suppose, it's like the essence of the black hole sound.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Yeah. But it's quite frightening. And I was thinking to myself when I heard it, because I played it out on the radio last week, and I was thinking to myself, imagine if it just sounded really jaunty. Or like really, really. Bop. Ooh. and I was thinking to myself imagine if it just sounded really jaunty or yeah that would be kind of
Starting point is 00:14:51 I know it sounds frivolous but there's nothing to suggest that because of our perception of what a black hole is it should sound like that there's no reason it should why have they not bumped up a few more octaves to make it a little bit more, why have they not put it in a major key oh right yeah they put like little one second samples on a Like, why have they not bumped up a few more octaves to make it a little bit more? Why have they not put it in a major key? Oh, right. Yeah, they put like little one-second samples on a synth keyboard and let Jean-Michel Jarre onto it.
Starting point is 00:15:11 I mean, if you're going to manipulate it that much, why not rehabilitate the reputation of the black hole? Just give it a nice sound. Put a little kind of voice, a little vocal box to it, like Peter Frampton. That would be, now you're talking. Now you are talking. Put Fig me. That'd be brilliant.
Starting point is 00:15:30 A bit of Fred Durst over the top to go, yeah, come on. Break stuff. We can't. Nothing can escape in the black hole. We can't break anything in this black hole, Fred. Fred, you've got nothing going on in here. You're probably going to be very, very fortunate to keep your cap on. There's no no, there's no metal. There's nothing in here, mate're probably going to be very, very fortunate to keep your cap on. There's no metal.
Starting point is 00:15:46 There's nothing in here, mate. It's chomped the lot. Don't worry about it. Do you remember, for a time, new metal was being called sport metal. Do you remember that? It was because they were wearing a lot of Adidas clothing. Did I make that up? I think it was because baggy jeans were de rigueur,
Starting point is 00:16:00 but Korn would wear a lot of Adidas. Obviously, Fred Durst would wear a lot of Adidas. Obviously, Fred Durst would wear a lot of Adidas. Yeah, I think it was mainly because of the clothes they wore, no? Well, when we were talking about it, when we were talking about the old, what's it called? The old Woodstock thing the other week. I was thinking to myself, I'm pretty sure when I was at uni, people were calling it sport metal. So I googled it. I couldn't find any results.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah. I reckon so. Anyway, let's have a quick break. When we come back, we'll do a couple of emails, Peter, because we haven't done any emails for a wee while. All right, then. Let's do some bloody emails.
Starting point is 00:16:31 We'll be back in a second. It's the Luke of Peter. I'm Pete Donaldson. It's Monday, so we're going to be reading out some of your emails. Before we get there, actually, Luke, did you know that expiration dates on stuff like corn, peas, carrots, largely, I mean, largely, it doesn't matter. You can eat them for 20 years. Like, I know he talks about a guy who eats a load of stuff, a load of like old rations and stuff from the Civil War and that.
Starting point is 00:17:01 But canned foods, they reckon, reckon scientists boffins and that uh they're basically safe indefinitely and as long as you store them in temperature below 75 degrees uh fahrenheit you could probably eat them for like five years after the purchase good news for fans of the apocalypse on the way good news and i but i mean just look for just one thing to keep an eye out just make sure uh make sure you just you don't eat anything from a big can that's kind of swollen, because that is a warning sign that it might have some harmful toxins in there. Great fucking public service announcement, that, Peter. I don't know how you feel.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Here we go. So, I mean, obviously, we've had a lot of shit at the moment saying, oh, I mean, you can eat, like, off food, actually. What's wrong with eating off food? And a lot of, like, blogs and newspapers and stuff are running these pieces in anticipation for a pretty serious recession where people will have to cannibalise their old folks. But this piece is not written on these shows.
Starting point is 00:18:04 As long as they're in cans. As long as they're in cans. But st piece is not written on these shows. As long as they're in cans. As long as they're in cans. But still bread. Still safe bread. But just don't eat those mouldy slices, baby. Yeah, that's what I mean. I mean, I don't know if I'm, you know, living in the future here,
Starting point is 00:18:16 but when it comes to certain things, I just, if it's bread with a little bit of mould on the crust, I'll just pull that bit off. Yeah, I think that's fair. Which I get in trouble for, by the way. Oh, why? Because that's the most delicious bread. The wife I have access to thinks that I shouldn't be reducing myself to that.
Starting point is 00:18:32 But, and the yoghurt, it gets a bit mouldy. Yoghurt's much nicer when it's gone past the date. It gets much creamier. Obviously, you can't eat the mouldy bit, so I just scrape it off. I'm tardy. I'm not tardy. I'm thrifty. Thrifty, that's fair, yeah. Look, you're resourceful. I'm of the opinion. So I'm tardy. I'm not tardy. I'm thrifty. Thrifty. That's fair. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Look, you're resourceful. I'm, I'm, I'm of the opinion. So I'm like, so my partner is excellent in a million different ways, but then,
Starting point is 00:18:54 but with frozen food, she never sees the freezer. So like she never sees food that's old. So she'll go, she'll go, we haven't got any food in. I'll go, Sarah,
Starting point is 00:19:04 I can whip up a disgusting meal from the stuff we've got in the freezer. And I do. And it's always disgusting. But, What is it? What normally do you do?
Starting point is 00:19:14 What kind of stuff? You find a protein, you mix it with some bulk rice I bought from the Asian supermarket around the corner. Brought it home in the scooter.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Smells a bit like petrol now. And, yeah, just, and if there's an asparagus sprig from the bottom of the fridge I'll stick that in as well. Right, stop there, stop there people listening, Luke and Peach are a family listening to this
Starting point is 00:19:39 if you can honestly tell me you can think of or have witnessed or experienced a more depressing prospect than that, hello at lucanpeach.com. And I'll just reiterate what he said, okay? Find a protein in the freezer. Find some of the massive batch of rice that I bought that now smells like petrol and pick up an asparagus sprig from the bottom of the fridge.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Yeah, exactly. And you wonder why the partner you have access to wants to fucking get a takeaway. now smells like petrol yeah pick up an asparagus sprig from the bottom of the fridge yeah exactly and you wonder why the partner you have access to wants to fucking get a takeaway oh i'll happily have the takeaway as well today's make that yeah yeah if you're anything like me you basically get a whole meal plan going you get go shopping get all the food in for the week and then on about tuesday you go oh fancy takeaway now yeah massively yeah that is definitely me i just but i was gonna say stop eating takeaway on your canned food shout so i don't know how you feel maybe this is an old person's cliche maybe people listen to this are a lot younger than us are going to be like grow up granddad fine but i feel like the the world is going on a particular only in one direction really, right? I'll be honest with you, I think it's going to shit, okay?
Starting point is 00:20:47 I think there's a reasonable chance that in between five and ten years' time the world's going to look a lot different, and I think we'll look back and we'll be glad of Pete's canned food advice. That's what I think. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah, I'm just helping out. We always hear about the post-apocalyptic kind of wastelands nuclear wastelands where we're eating uh irradiated um bison meat i've been training for that for
Starting point is 00:21:10 years i live in west norwood i'm uh yeah i'm teaching them how to just just make your peas go a bit longer from the can it's worth it and we promised an email we're going to do it deliver an email it's an email from alex i like the energy of this i like we talked a little bit i think didn't we on thursday about you know brew dog energy and kind of i think i think there's a lot of interesting energy about the subject of this email that i want to talk about so thank you for sending in alex he has of course emailed hello at luke and pete show.com and he says hi luke and pete this is something which has been occupying my mind since the band muse released their latest single will of the people a few weeks ago yeah i used to find muse a fairly pompous but entertaining musical outfit but i believe if you put them
Starting point is 00:21:56 under the microscope you'll see that they've evolved into something grotesque and offensive a lot like their previous releases will of the people talks about revolutions bringing down institutions and hitting back against the system. But what system are Muse rebelling against? The system that benefits three white straight dudes from Cambridge? What institutions are they wanting to take down? The record labels who put out their shit music every year. I should just interject there and say that I think only one of them is from Cambridge.
Starting point is 00:22:20 I think the rest of them are from... Devon? One's from Stockport and the other one's from Devon. They formed in Devon. But anyway, Alex, that doesn't undermine your point. Alex picks up the story and says bands like Self Esteem and Idols actually name check the social issues they want to talk about. Do Muse do that? No.
Starting point is 00:22:36 If they have such a problem with, quote, the system, why don't they specify who exactly they have a problem with? All they do is make sweeping generic statements about revolution so posh boys can sing along and convince themselves they're victims in a world which is set up for them if you need any more reasons to hate them listen to their cover of feeling good by nina simone they've been putting the wool over our eyes for too long we need to rebel against muse we need a revolution from alex now that email is essentially and ostensibly a gripe from a listener who doesn't like muse that's
Starting point is 00:23:04 it normally doesn't pass the threshold to get into the email inbox, but it did on this occasion, and I'll tell you why, Pete Donaldson. The reason is I think he's right around the dog-whistley conspiracy theory stuff that Muse have been doing for quite some time now, and no one's really calling him out on it. So I thank Alex for doing so. The will of the – I mean, they use the word sheeple uh in uh great that is great and but i you know i i was in music radio and i've always when i have interviewed them they always seem like stand up not like with the
Starting point is 00:23:39 pomposity as their music have got has got more uh general uh and basic and pompous and stupid and, you know, just overblown, I feel that they've gotten, I feel that they have become nicer and nicer and more down to earth. But if you're putting lyrics like, you know, we'll throw the baby out of the bathwater with every second our anger increases, we're going to smash a nation to pieces.
Starting point is 00:24:06 There's no grit to their revolutionary, you know, you know, saber-rattling, is there? There's no kind of, there's no texture there, is it?
Starting point is 00:24:15 It's just all very general. This could apply to someone in Argentina, which we happen to be playing a stadium in soon. Yeah, it's quite cynical, isn't it? Yeah. It's very cynically sort of,-esteem idols they're british they talk
Starting point is 00:24:28 about british issues for british people british women uh in the main and uh and and and so i think they are more they're obviously a more important band uh here um you can either go one of two ways you become a massive sort of regular stadium band and you can maintain that granularity like the manic street preachers and just sort of literally just tear up your old um uh your old history a level uh um essays and then just scatter them into a onto a print stick piece of a4 paper and just go there's the lyrics uh oh and then and then lyrics, or just find Richie Edwards' old diaries and live off them for 10 years. Or you can kind of become generalists like Muse,
Starting point is 00:25:12 and they're just kind of trying to sort of get in on the vein of kind of discontent of the people, but they're not willing to be specific or upset anyone, really. It's all very vague, isn't it? I think the cynical angle is a really interesting one, not one I consider, but I think you're right. I think they've probably looked at the world and gone, well, people are really pissed off about all these things.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Let's write songs about them, rather than we're really pissed off. We think people are like this because we're really pissed off. Almost like the anti-punk, if you know what I mean. I mean, that song, The Will of the People, the chorus is the will of the people the will of the sheeple I don't think that's that good I think if we're going to dish out Limp Bizkit's stick we should be dishing out
Starting point is 00:25:52 stick for that as well it sounds like the beautiful people by Marilyn Munson the will of the people the will of the sheeple my biggest gripe around your idols your self esteesteem's your um your sleaford mods is i just don't think it's that good and i think self-esteem are good sleaford mods are all right as well they're good yeah but you have to say they're not good why do i have to say that why
Starting point is 00:26:18 do i have because the people you hang out with you'd be a pariah if you didn't say yeah i like sleaford mods look. Look, I guarantee I can't remember the last time I spoke with my friends about music. I've got one mate, Al, who listens to Radiohead still. He'll go and watch Nick Cave every now and again.
Starting point is 00:26:38 The other ones really hit the fucking hardcore. I just don't I find talking about music just so boring you started it i did you just invaded poland i just read the email out i think all i was gonna say was i was being unkind to you there for which i apologize all i was gonna say was the what i find interesting about that and what i mean by that point i made there because it's all subjective right if you like it great it's fine that's none of my business but what i think is missed sometimes
Starting point is 00:27:09 is that if you want to have the most impact possible you have to just write really good songs yeah and people will and that's how it will happen you know the way that you know the way that radiohead are able to get messaging across which which they do do throughout their music regularly, it's just by being fucking massively popular because their songs are really good. You can't put the cart before the horse, guys, is all I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Just bear it in mind. By the way, speaking of
Starting point is 00:27:35 sheeple, you've reminded me of something that I haven't thought about for a long time that used to happen when I first moved to London. I lived in Stockwell in South London in 2004 and I used to walk up the wandsworth road to get the 77 bus into town when i was working the capital radio where i first met you pete donson and um every single morning because this is way before you could work from home and all that good stuff um i used to walk up towards the bus stop and loads of people would be walking that way because, of course, loads of people
Starting point is 00:28:05 would be going into town for work. And there was one guy, older guy, probably dead now, sadly. If he is, God rest him. He didn't have a job and he didn't really do anything. But what he used to do at eight o'clock in the morning
Starting point is 00:28:19 or 7.30 in the morning is he used to go out of his house with a big white lab coat on which he had um graffitied himself and it was all like um conspiracy theory stuff about about you know the the illuminati and about you know the capitalist fucking pigs and he used every single person used to walk past him used to go morning sheep morning sheep and he did that every single morning for the time i lived there which is like i think two and a half years and he at the time i just thought of him as a mild curiosity and he's thinking it was quite funny now i see him as a proper like ahead
Starting point is 00:28:57 of his time like prophet because if he's still alive now i'm telling you now he's all over the yeah he'll be he'll be on TikTok upsetting people, won't he? And that man turned into Andrew Tate. Kickbox extraordinaire. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go over here. All right.
