How have I grown since I've turned 41? Not very much, has to be said. I'm barely done. I've not got any better.

In fact, I'm going backwards, to be honest. If I could choose anything for you to grow into when you move to your 40s, I think I would choose Juggalo. What do you mean? You want me to become a joke yes i do so if i turned up to this recording with full juggalo uh makeup is that i mean is that something you'd really want to see well oh yes a hundred percent yes i definitely want to see that and I want you also to explain in your own words to people who don't know what a juggalo is what they are it's the

people who really really really really really really really really like the new metal slash rap outfit the insane clown posse they are the juggalos and the juggalettes they are people who paint

their faces in the same sort of clown black and white clown makeup uh that they do um and uh yeah that's about it really they have um conventions they hang out together they are frequently problematic sometimes they're good sometimes they're evil but they just they're just like they're weird black and white clown people there's a lot more to it mate i really want to give you the list of um the i think nine things that make up um the juggalo subculture as per the wikipedia page okay is this like uh is this like uh the ten commandments do you know what annoys me about this show right i do actually do some prep sometimes i know it's impromptu, but I'll say I'll do prep. I'll put a few bullet points down and say,

look, I wouldn't mind talking about this. And then something will pop into my head and it will be, Pete is a juggalo. And that'll be it. That'll be it. There's no point doing anything. Like there's no point.

I never learn. Anyway. So for some reason we're now doing juggalo stuff, but we are going to now do the nine things that you, that you kind of make up the characteristics of a member of what they call the juggalo subculture the juggalo family so and you've covered a couple of them right a couple of them might be surprising so um number one is drinking and spraying the inexpensive soft drink fago oh okay I didn't realise that was part of it. Yeah. I don't think I've ever had that before.

No, same. Listening to horrorcore and other types of underground rap music, which I think you kind of covered. Right. Number three is wearing face paint. Generally those either like an evil clown or perhaps similar to corpse paint. That's three. Okay.

Number four is wearing hatchet gear or chapter 17 branded clothes um which i think is basically the merch arm of psychopathic records which i think is insane clan posse's record label i think right i see um having the hatchet man logo applied on personal effects and worn as jewelry okay yeah that's. Number six, doing hair in the spider legs style. Now. You've definitely done that in the past, haven't you? What, like as in like curtains, but thin kind of?

No, little spiky things all over the place. Oh, yes. Okay. Rubber bands. I see. Yeah. Displaying the gesture of Wicked Clown with the left hand and the C sign in the right with the arms crossed over. So kind of like this. Okay, right.

But it's just people having a bit of fun, isn't it? Yeah. Well, I'm doing the others, so forget it. Okay. Making and responding to whoop-whoop calls. That's a weird one. And the final one is expressing a generally tongue in

cheek obsession with murder committed with a blade weapon which I think is weird they left that one until the end have you seen

the wrestler Dan Housen I haven't I'll google image him now I can show you on the stream there we go

can you see that guy did you have that ready to go no I just downloaded it and dragged it into the screen

yeah he looks cool yeah he's like he sort of talks like I can't do an impression of him but he kind of goes very good

very evil and he's sort of like he's like a kind of what would you call him he's kind of like a Simpsons character sort of thing but he got signed

by AEW and he's a very interesting chap I recommend anyone who's a big fan of the visual aesthetic of the juggalo, check out Dan Housen as a wrestler. The thing about being a wrestler, and a wrestler where you face paint yourself all the time, you've got to just live your life like that all the time.

And if you're at an event and you're there all day, you're just constantly touching up your makeup. He's got white paint. He wears a lot of dark clothes. That's going to be everywhere, isn't it? It's a nightmare. Absolute nightmare. Do you talk about AEW on WrestleMania?

Yeah, we've touched on it here and there. But we went to see... It's a really good thing at the moment, right? It's much better than WWE, right? Well, we went to see one of the other kind of things that Tony Khan bought. Obviously, owner of Fulham, but he also has AEW. He also bought Ring of Honor, a different one,

a different smaller set up. Yeah. And Dan Housen was sat in Tony Khan's box, but he's just like having a Pepsi and he's just watching the match, but he's dressed in full fist pin. He's just sat down. He's got a broken leg.

He can't wrestle. So nobody would necessarily know that it was Dan Housen, but he's just always got to be there in his silly, silly makeup. But yeah, AEWouser but he's just always got to be there in his silly makeup but yeah, AEW is it's kind of the place to be when we went to Wrestlemania they did a very very good show

but AEW is very much where the good wrestling is and where the thoughtful wrestling is it's where the proper wrestling heads go to enjoy it's the Bundesliga it's La Liga it's the Bundesliga it's La Liga it's something it's a really good league

with really good quality stuff is it socially more conscious and stuff yes yes yeah definitely I was going to say

because a lot of WWE slash WWF is dated quite badly oh yeah definitely yeah we're heading as the rest of me we're heading into

a place we've never been before which is the Attitude Era fuck you fuck you two fingers up who fingers up someone the big wrestlers from that era uh stone cold probably the rock came out of that as well the fucking rock is so good like i don't know anything about wrestling and this isn't a wrestling show but very very briefly like you don't need to know anything about wrestling to watch vintage the rock and go

fucking hell that man is a charisma machine. But the thing that gets me is that when wrestlers get jobs in the real world, a.k.a. in Hollywood... Oh, yeah, famously the real world, Hollywood. The directors are always surprised that these guys can ad-lib. Like John Cena, I think he's one of the Marvel dickheads, isn't he? No, Batista's Marvel, isn't he? John Cena's not Marvel, is he?

John Cena's got a Marvel. There's so many characters now, Luke. I've got one. I'm like the shit, the real shit. What's John Cena in Marvel? And I fight crime. John Cena's in a Marvel thing, I think. He's one of the characters,

but he's got a helmet and all set up and whatever. I think it's Marvel. I don't think it's DC. Oh no, he's in Suicide characters, but he's got a helmet and all set up and whatever. I think it's Marvel. I don't think it's DC. But he... Oh, no, he's in Suicide Squad, isn't he? Yes, yeah. But he's one of them characters. And so they've done a full series of that guy, that fucking character.

Yeah, Peacemaker. It's not Marvel. Fucking hell. What's Peacemaker, then? DC? Peacemaker's DC. It's part of the Suicide Squad. All right.

He's part of the Suicide Squad. Cool. Doesn't matter. Carry on. Cool for you. Cool story, bro. Cool story, bro. all right he's part of the suicide squad cool doesn't matter carry on cool for you cool story bro um but he but like he the director that directed him in the in the show is like genuinely surprised that um that he can he can sort of freestyle and he can kind of like just have a bit of a giggle with the material like that's what wrestlers do every fucking night

these guys are like charisma machines and if they not, they don't become big stars. It's almost like, in its own way, it's basically like theatre, right? Yeah, exactly. And a lot of it is just made up on the spot. Yeah, like Vince McMahon's quads. Speaking of theatre, I went to the theatre last week to see Rafe Spall in To Kill a Mockingbird. Oh, good. Okay.

So good. Mate, honestly, it was so good. Are you familiar with the book? I'm familiar with the book. I'm familiar with the film. The money's in Joel's house. No, that was something different. That's A Beautiful Life.

Same character, though. Same guy. You okay? Atticus Finch. Yeah, Atticus Finch. And Scout. Played by Gregory Peck in the film, right? That's what you're talking about, yeah? Peckles. Yeah. Gregory Peckles. Rafe Spall plays Atticus Finch and Scout played by Gregory Peck in the film that's what you're talking about Peckles

yeah so Rave Spool plays Atticus Finch in the stage play which is currently at the West End but it's a reimagining by Aaron Sorkin oh cool

yeah so it's actually really interestingly done it's clever they essentially get Scout and Gem to narrate the story and they kind of

drift in and out of the scenes. So they also behave as narrators but they then find themselves drifting into the scenes when the scenes change and stuff. It's quite cleverly done. But one of the things that... I don't know if this is an obvious thing to say. I hope it isn't. I hope people listening will understand

what I mean. When you see genuinely good powerful theatre acting, it's almost quite primarily affecting. I found what Ray Spall was able to do absolutely amazing. It was incredible, his performance. He had everyone in the audience in the palm of his hand. And he's almost never off the stage either.

So the amount of lines you have to learn and the amount of things you have to remember. Especially in S palm of his hand. Yeah. And he's almost never off the stage either. So the amount of lines you have to learn and the amount of things you have to remember. Especially in Sarkin as well. Oh, yeah. It was incredibly good. It really was brilliant. Has it been updated for the youth? Is there rapping in it and stuff?

No, no, no. It's very classic. I think it's Finch going to start this lynch. I'd love to see a Pete Donaldson written version. That'd be so good. But that was a good little rhyme, by the way. Very apt. Thanks, mate, yeah.

But it was very affecting. I think, you know, there were people clearly there who didn't know the story. What a treat. I mean, it's pretty affecting, isn't it? When it happened and transpired, people were properly, like, shocked and stuff. Does Atticus Finch shoot the dog?

Do they call back to when he shot the dog? Because Scout and Jem thought that his dad was a bit of a loser, a bit of a square. But did you know that Atticus can shoot a gun and shoot a rabid dog? Yeah. So they didn't... That bit's not covered. But the whole thing of it, it's quite on the nose in a way

because it's clearly so relevant to today's times where you've got the whole idea of Atticus Finch as a character trying to see the good in everyone and being this kind of

well-meaning but ultimately naive liberal and then his kind of experiences with the case and with the African-American people that he kind of associates with the scales dropping from his eyes because of the case and all the African American people that he kind of associates with, the scales dropping from his eyes because of the case and all the rest

of it. And there is definitely a theme in it about him being seen as quite weak-willed and bleeding heart liberal and his kids are upset about it because he's always trying to make excuses for people's behaviour and stuff. It was a very, very good, I would recommend it, it's a very, very good play.

It's the first time I've been to the theatre to see a proper serious play like that that wasn't a musical I suppose for a while so it was nice one thing I did get pissed off about

was like the people's behaviour in the theatre pisses me off you know I'm a bit sensitive to it I think probably overly sensitive

and it it's annoying that because they never used to let people drink in the theatre they used to let them drink in the interval before and after but now people can drink in the theatre oh They used to let them drink in the interval before and after. But now people can drink in the theatre.

Oh, and they're clanking around and clanking around. Do you know what, mate? It's just, there was two people next to me. So Mimi was on one side and the two people next to me, these two women, and they came in, sat down, and they had a bottle of wine each, right? And so by about 45 minutes in they're talking quite loudly and it's like what are you fucking doing here what are you doing

what's the point of this like if you're here to have a catch-up over a couple of bottles of wine you shouldn't be doing it here it's like 70 quid a ticket it's so expensive as well yeah they want you to be quiet right how did they get and then earlier in the run right i think i'm right and so it was either earlier in this run right I think I'm right it was either earlier in this run or in a previous play someone's phone went off during one of

the Anastasius Finch monologue and apparently Rage Sport went mental right and kind of broke character and no joke when one of the kids I think it might have been

Jem the boy his he was excellent by the way I mean he's only young amazing achievement to be so good at acting at that age. He was doing his model, someone's fucking phone went off.

Right, okay. It's like how crap have you got to be these days to not be able to put your phone on silent? Yeah, it's... Would that annoy you? It does annoy me. There's really no need for it. But I like it when the,

there was a scene in the US office where that happened and the guy tried they were doing a production of Sweeney Todd and the guy tried to sort of freestyle with it what is that a tweeting bird? I'd like a bit more of that if you don't mind like Agus Finch going

you're gonna go to prison if you keep doing that thank you yeah in character yeah just pulled a shotgun out but you know they were really hot in the theater the usher came and took the phone off them are they allowed to do that yeah well i don't know they i i i i with my own eye saw them handing it back to her at the end yeah interesting so yeah anyway that

was good i enjoyed it it was good and they were just just to do theater reviews yeah quite a classic luke and peacho pivot as well yeah here. One thing I would recommend to you, have you seen that Mother Teresa documentary that came out? No. It's called For the Love of God. No, but I've read articles, it was a book

wasn't it, about ten years ago that it was kind of based on, wasn't it? Christopher Hitch's rap book. I think it was longer than ten years ago if you think of the same one as me, but she was a shit by the way. I had no idea. I knew that her, like many historical figures,

the truth is very different, but it's never that different. Yeah, this was actually quite different. It was like, she seemed to very much like

Catholicism and very much didn't like people. She really liked everybody. Oh, no, she liked some people. Dictators, mostly. Yeah, worth a watch because I came out of that with the impression that, like, wow, this is, like, properly psychotic stuff. Like, almost the idea that like she she so basically the way apparently that the book that came out now this documentary about is because this guy this indian guy who was a doctor

and um obviously a very socially conscious man seemed a very impressive man in the in the documentary he clearly knew what he was all about and had done this done this stuff where he would he had covered what mother teresa been up to it's like he said he would visit like the west he visit the us and visit britain and all he'd hear in the news was how much how amazingly mother teresa transformed the streets of calcutta and every time he went back to calcutta that nothing had changed he's like there's got to be something going on here i want to investigate this and it just worked out that she was pulling down like a hundred million dollars a year and none of it was being spent on poor people it's not that difficult is it i mean it's not that hard to work out but

it got into some really interesting and actually quite like awful harrowing stuff about how like mother teresa herself essentially her philosophy was priding the idea of suffering to to emulate what jesus apparently suffered yeah and that was the most important thing so it was almost like no no this kid here hasn't, doesn't need to be treated properly. They just need to suffer the same way Jesus did because that's what God has designed. Enjoy the pain and then they'll go to heaven. Yeah.

And it was, yeah, it's awful, awful stuff. But anyway, I think it was a three or four part documentary. Really worth watching. Very,

very interesting. But this is perhaps an unhelpful comparison on its face, but in principle, not too dissimilar to what we were talking about with Jimmy Savile, actually. You know, so obviously in the public eye, so obviously courted and properly like, yeah, just courted by powerful people

who wanted to be seen alongside her. Yeah. When actually, if you just did the vaguest amount of scratching beneath the surface, all of it was a bit weird at best yeah i'm fairly set on the trees thing i'm fairly certain that our our catholic school was peppered with uh depictions of her pictures of her i'm fairly certain that's okay she's been she's been sainted now she's like a proper saint yeah like i mean it's so it's so weird like the whole nature of

like sainthood and stuff it's just oh yeah she did this miracle so she can be a saint now and everyone every doctor in the in the thought, yeah, she did this miracle so she can be a saint now. And everyone, every doctor in the, in the, in the, in the vicinity when this miracle apparently happened was literally like, that didn't happen. And it didn't happen.

But the, but the, the, the, I think it was, obviously the football team leads are, and kind of were in, in a bit of trouble,

going to get relegated. And the, their new Ted Lasso style manager had three people that he was kind of basically giving them quotes from. And it was Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and John F. Kennedy. Now, at least two of those,

modern theory is very much kind of flipped on. Say again? Who was the first one? Mahatma Gandhi. So... Okay, all three of them, problematic. I can tell you why. Gandhi

almost definitely fucked his niece. Mother Teresa was a nightmare woman who killed people and put them in financial and and pain bondage uh to better the catholic church and the third one would fuck anything that moved well and also was you know a complicated figure and you know had was not without his merits but

was also essentially one of the main components of a criminal, political criminal fucking gang. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy, crazy choice. On the Mother Teresa thing, it was like the miracle that she needed to have been, to have performed to become a saint.

Yeah. In 2002 was recognised by the Vatican as the healing of a tumour in the abdomen of an Indian woman. After an application of a locket containing Mother Teresa's picture, a beam of light apparently emanated from the picture and her cancerous tumour was cured. A guy from the New York Times just went there and found out in about 10 minutes that she had medicines and procedures for nine to 12 months to fix it.

That was the coup de grace though, mate. A little... I've been sat in this chair getting dialysis for... Just imagine the guy for the fucking representative of the Pope on the phone has she had any

did she have any treatment as well did she did she okay okay all right yeah

we'll have to think about that then yeah definitely have to think about that what she had 12 months of radiotherapy did she

okay all right yeah probably give Mother Teresa the benefit of the doubt though you know it's mad

it's mad it's mad I'm sorry to offend anyone with this but 2022 I mean this is mad talk madness it's a madness it is anyway should we have a break

to compose ourselves yes because I want to do an email about white men can't jump after the advert break speaking of pivots bring it on bring it on

we're back with a look at Pete's show and if you want to get into the show it's real simple depending on how hard you find interf back with the Luke and Pete show and if you want to get into the show it's real simple depending on how hard you find interfacing with

the computer I guess the email address is hello at lukenpeachshow.com you can get us on Twitter you can tweet us individually if you

want and we'll send the stuff to the producer Rory and he'll stick them in a running order that's how that usually works isn't it so yeah if you want

to get into the show you've got all of those options and Luke's going to kick off this half with a little bit of Whiteman can't jump chat yeah a little bit

included in the Whiteman can't jump chat Whiteman can't jump chat it's very hard to say by the way from our friend Amy by the way how hard do you

the thing is when you said depending on how hard you find it to interact with your computer yeah you're someone who makes it hard to interact with your own computer

don't you, because you're always fiddling? I'm not always fiddling. I'm always, I'm always, yeah, I am always fiddling. I can't debate that.

Any latest updates? Have you updated your operating system to Monterey yet? I've not, no, but I was, I was fixing the computer with producer Charlie

and a guy from Broadcast Bionics. What a name for a company. Great name for a company. Broadcast Bionics. What a name for a company. Great name for a company. Broadcast Bionics. Fixing the stack cameras and stuff. And then my partner rang up with more tech issues. So I was on the phone. We were emailing this bloke and trying to get that fixed with IP conflicts and all that stuff.

And then Sarah had problems with her computer which was kind of my fault because i uh i hadn't reattached um the computer properly and she she she panicked so uh i'd like to say i was the world's first digital dj sorry if you heard uh magnus the cat interrupting your story he decides that whenever the door's shut he wants to come in the room. You can probably see him there, right? You can hear him? Yeah, I can hear him. Oh, he's laying down. He's going, meow. Yeah, he's had enough now. He's a conspiracy theorist. He will say some terrible things during the show.

Yeah, don't worry. I won't mic him up. Meow. Yeah, speaking of that. Steal memes. Meow. With the partner you have access to. I got in trouble with Mimi I think it was yesterday. It might have been this morning. Anyway, because she had asked me to do something.

She's been working a lot, so she's not been at home much. And she kept asking me to do stuff. And admittedly, I forgot to do it. And she got pissed off because she saw a message from me, a WhatsApp, saying that she thought it was going to say I'd done this thing. Right. So when she finished her meeting, she opened the message expecting to say yeah i've done all that no worries uh it's all sorted yeah but in factual fact she just got a picture a photo uh from me of a van uh called uh mr pump

and then i said underneath look he's also got a mr pump cap in the windscreen i just got a Mr. Pump cap in the windscreen. I just got a reply saying, what are you doing? It's like a guy's business who pumps concrete into houses, and he's called Mr. Pump. It's quite a good name. Well, it doesn't really explain what he says, I don't think, no? No, because he's got a snake on the back of his van. It's obviously like tongue-in-cheek. I can't remember what exactly it is, but it's like no mess just pumping or something like that no mess no fuss

just concrete pumped or something like that yeah so she was absolutely beside herself i'm happy about that i still haven't done it by the way it's involving our new bathroom i just can't bring myself anyway amy amy thank you for getting in touch thank you for being so patient hearing your name and then not hearing your email. I'm going to read it out now. It's about American candy, Pete, referring to something you talked about, but also about White Men Can't Jump. She says, hello, I couldn't help emailing the show after hearing a discussion

on vintage movie candy and the film White Men Can't Jump. Firstly, Pete's candy game is on lock with some underrated favorites, in my opinion. You've probably already figured out the name of the licorice candy that you liked have you figured it out Peter? It's Good and Plenty baby. Good and Plenty exactly but what you may not know is it's a great companion to Milk Duds Oh mix them together nice

Amy says it might take a bit to strike your perfect dud to GMP ratio mine is about 1 to 6 but you do, you'll be hooked. So I'd like you to go and do that, Pete. So you have four good and plenties to, sorry, six good and plenties to one milk dud. Now, milk duds are small, right? I reckon it's probably six milk duds to one good and plenty odds. Right, okay.

I love a milk dud. I love anything a bit milk. I love those little kind of milky cola bottles you get sometimes. Delicious. I quite like milk cola bottles. Yeah, I'm not really a fan of chewy sweets generally but i don't mind those anyway amy says moving on white mccunch up is a classic and luke summary was absolutely on point but in honor of the 30th anniversary of the film's release espn recently aired a feature reuniting wesley snipes woody

harrison and rosie perez along with writer and director ron shelton it was brilliant definitely work it have a look and see if it's available on tv on the tv of access to it's definitely worth a watch so i'll definitely check that out because it's one of my favorite films but actually coincidentally enough and the reason i wanted to read this email is because um i was on the way home from the office earlier and someone had left um a newspaper supplement on the train uh seat so i started reading it and it was an in-depth interview with the aforementioned Rosie Perez who was the love interest to Woody Harrelson

in Why We Can't Jump as Amy says there and it's basically talking about the amazing life she's had and I had no idea so she had this crazy upbringing where basically

her parents almost abandoned her she's Puerto Rican heritage and she grew up in Brooklyn and she was raised by her aunt who she thought was her mother until she got older and found out what had happened to her and then she became this dancer and this choreographer so she was jlo's choreographer for a while and then she got picked up by spike lee uh and was in do the right thing he spotted her at some nightclub and and she

got a break then and she was um and she's known as being like super fierce right and um she apparently like legendarily when she got her first agent right um at caa i think she's with um she apparently did as legend has it a bit of research into it she walked into the room with the owner of the or the big cheese at the business as it's up and coming kind of put a reconnector and said um before he could even say anything said i don't want to hear anything from you get me in the room that you put the white women in and do it as soon as possible and the guy was like okay apparently she's like proper fierce right anyway so recently apparently her and woody and wesley were presenting an award i forget where it is i'll be able to say golden globes i can't remember right and the

golden globes apparently the presentation but the three of them was a bit of a disaster because rosie peres says she couldn't find where woody and wesley wesley stops woody house were and where she eventually found that they were sat in woody house's car and hitting a bong as she said it was really annoying because like they just basically came on stage and they were in a right old state and the interviewer said oh is that what it was like

working with them when you did What My Cunt Jump and she said I don't want to comment on that she just came across as like the sickest like toughest woman ever

that was brilliant speaking of other queens did you see that the queen popped in to have a look at the old Elizabeth line last week? Yeah, have you been on the Elizabeth line yet? No, I really want to. Tell people what it is, because if they're not from the UK...

Well, it's this line that's been promised for what feels like 15 years. It's finally here, except it isn't finally here. It won't open fully until 2023. Oh, right, so it's not actually even properly open then? Not the full, you've still got to change it's Liverpool Street if you want to get

from Shenfield to the west of London. Oh, that's battalion to your interest as well, I can tell why you're upset about it. Well, I mean, I just think that

the Shenfield, you can now get from I think Bond Street to Liverpool Street in seven minutes which is, I think that's quite big isn't it?

That's good. That's quite a good one. And is it the big trains like the DLR type trains or the Circle Line trains or is it like old school? I don't actually know, I think that's quite a good one and is it the big trains like the DLR type trains or the Circle Line trains or is it like old school I don't actually know I don't actually know

I think it's just a I think it's your bog standard train to be honest I think it's a little bit like the what's the Crosslink Crossring Crossrail no no

what's the train that goes from like King's Cross down to Brighton like Wellingham Oh all those kind of weird Thameslink Thameslink that's the one I think it's a little bit like that

but east to west yeah I'll go on it I think it's a little bit like that, but east to west. Yeah, I'll go on it. I think it looks pretty good. Yeah, well, you go from like Reading, you will eventually be able to go from Reading to Shenfield, Reading to the centre of town really, really quickly. This is great chat from you. What? This is great chat.

What do you mean? I love how passionate you are about it. Yeah. Well, I'm passionate until she, apparently she doesn't know how to use a fucking Oyster card. Like, what's his name? Rishi Sunak? What, did he not know how to use an Oyster card either?

Didn't Rishi Sunak try to pay for some petrol in like a really weird way? Oh, right, okay. Didn't like, He was borrowing a car and all that. He was borrowing like a

Yeah, it was the same incident. It was like the world's shittest photo shoot because it was the same day, I think. And he tried to pay for something. So, you know like TV, you know like, It was like the world's shittest photo shoot because it was the same day, I think. And he tried to pay for something. So, you know, like TV, you know, like shops have got some shops that have those plastic screens because of COVID.

Yeah. So he went up to the counter to pay for, I presume, the petrol that you're talking about. And the guy said, oh, how much it was. And he just held his debit card up against the plastic screen. And just stood there holding it. Well, I guess somebody could have one of those mobile machines and they could lift it to the screen. Surely, no? Yeah, but it just looked insane. It looked like he had never done it before,

which he probably hadn't. And the thing is, and this is like the thing about, you know me, I'm a bit of a tyrant when it comes to doing things properly, aren't I? And you find it tedious, and I understand that you know on the other hand we recorded something the other day that you lost so you know things do go either way right the point being like I don't know with all the staff they've got why it's just not they just don't sit down and say this is how you do this like it happens all the time Pete when you fucking see a member of the fucking cabinet

going into a normal pub. They should never go in there. Unless they're going to follow the brief, don't let them in there. But if you can't follow the brief, if someone asks you, what's your solution to the food banks? What's your solution for the fuel crisis?

What's your solution to this? And their best thing is just get a better job. Their spads are not doing anything like what how have they got to the point where they're in front of a tv interviewer and they're saying stuff like that um that you know that's the thick end of a wedge i think the thin end of the wedge is learning how to pull a pint or drink a sandwich you are right to bring that up and i think in the current era we're in, we're way beyond this fucking embarrassing photo shoot thing.

You're absolutely right. If people are basically doing the modern Mary Antoinette, then there's nothing you can do about it. I mean, we just basically live in a cacistocracy where the most unsuitable people for governance are governing, which is insane, especially given how long the current law has been in power. But what I'm talking about is something much more quaint and much more kind of trivial than that where it's just that they'll get

someone who's quite important in the political scheme of things and they'll think it's a good idea to take them to a provincial pub because there's they've dropped a penny off tax in the budget or something on beer right so they want a photo shoot. Yeah. Yet the fucking chancellor cannot wait for a pint to settle before he sips it. You know, or he can't even hold a pint. Like they literally cannot hold a pint in their hand without looking like a fucking alien. Right. It's like, I don't care if it's patronising, just practice it. Yeah.

Yeah. It's embarrassing. You see George Osborne that time just supping on a pint of Guinness before it's even settled. Like, this is something that actually speaks to a lot of people in this country. Normal, everyday people like us see that and think, that is insane.

That's insane. I'm more... I would say that I've been practising that all my life. I've been practising how to drink pints all my life. Yeah. I think they should get you to consult. Exactly. A lot of money in theints all my life. Yeah. I think they should get you to consult. Exactly.

A lot of money in it. A lot of money in the consultancy, mate. Yeah, lovely. Accenture could open up a whole fucking area on supping, how to sup.

Anyway, let's fucking go because we're talking about politicians so let's just go. I'll delete the show anyway. Don't worry about it. Do you want to tell people

what you did or not? What do you mean? We recorded a little thing and I clipped the wrong bit out and you know. Fundamentally the backup system that I created from my own fair hand would have saved things.

If I don't know. Do you remember me telling you not to record it on the end of that 25 minute piece of audio that was already running in the studio? The difference between me and you is I'm a do it yourself kind of guy. You just get someone else to do it. You could very easily record that yourself but you didn't. that was already running in the studio. Luke, the difference between me and you is I'm a do-it-yourself kind of guy. The difference between you is you just get someone else to do it.

So you could very easily recall that yourself, but you didn't. So you were telling me what to do. So that's what you get. You chose the wrong organ grinder. How unhappy are you with me out of 10, but then compared to how unhappy you are with yourself? Oh, no.

I've got like a... You know, like... You're like the... When Chernobyl happened, you're like the burning radiation that's a real problem. But I've got... Everything's emitting radiation all the time.

You know what I mean? We've all got radiation in us. We're all emitting radiation. So, yeah. I feel like I'm the one who didn't know what it was and then picking it up with my bare hands and you're the radiation.

And all I want is a pair of good gloves. That's what I feel like. All right, then. Let's get out of here. We'll be back next time around with more loads of stuff, battery brands, all kinds of stuff. If you've seen a battery in something you've got,
