Drop her leg is heart. Drop with a leg's heart. Who! Welcome to Luca Pitcho. I'm Pete John, I'm John by Mr. Luki Moore. I was just before the show telling Luki Moore that I've come up with a cunning plan to defeat asthma.

I can't breathe. Oh yes, everyone. It's more asthma chat. Sorry to the Finnish person who hits me talking about my illnesses. Welcome to the wheeze hour. Yeah, still can't breathe. But I found that if I go on my little,

I've got a little elliptical machine at home. Which is the time. By the way, can I just say it's a luxury that many people listening to this, including me, won't understand. Just get on Facebook Marketplace. It's like pianos. People just give them away. But where'd you put it?

You've got space for an elliptical machine. It's not massive. Do you know what I am interested in? What? A little treadmill. Can I get a treadmill, do you reckon? Yeah, you get a treadmill. I just always thought they were, like, prohibitively expensive.

Just go on Faceup Marketplace. It's the one thing that people will refuse to buy secondhand. And then as the, as someone moving house, you know, the date where someone moves house approaches, they get a little bit desperate, and they just stick it on their free. Nice angle. Because what I'd like is I'd like a treadmill

that I can keep storing one of the rooms in my house and then wheel into the garden. Right. Is that a bit performative? No, because no one can see my garden. Oh, okay. Just so I can... I don't run around my pants quite a lot of my garden.

Exactly, but it'll be hot at doing it inside, is what I mean. Right, okay, yeah. Anyway, carry on. Yeah, it stops you out for like a couple of hours. Just opens the... It just opens the lungs and makes me feel like I haven't got a ton of bricks on me. And, but the problem is having to do that five times a day. Five times a day?

Well, I mean, it only lasts for like an hour and a half, and I feel like shit all the time. So I feel like, remember the film Crank? Yeah, Jason Statham. I feel like I'm constantly having to top myself up. It's a testament to your indefatig ability that I've never really noticed that you're feeling like shit. You don't seem to. It doesn't come across.

I'm just, I'm tits and teeth, darling, whenever the theatre... Doctor theatre. When Doctor Theatre calls, I'm... So, for example, if the lift was broken in this building, we're currently on the fourth floor, for those who don't know, would you better do the stairs? Yeah, I can do all the things, I can cycle in, I can walk, I can run, I can run upstairs and stuff, but it's, uh,

you just, I just feel like I'm, I've got crushing weight on me. I think it's just life, isn't it? I feel like that. It's just life, yeah. It's just life, isn't it? It's just life. I haven't. But Pete, no, Pete, I've got...

It's just life. I'm crushed under it in the wee. Right. I haven't got asthma, but I feel crushed by life. Right, well, okay. I'll tell my asthma specialist. Yeah. Hold off on the trimbo.

Yeah. Hold off on all the inhalers and the Monteclast and all that stuff. Yeah. I'm just a bit down. Well, Joe Rogan told me you're overmedicate yourself. Overmedicate myself. What you need is a little bit of Heather. It's true.

Some lucky Heather. Lucky Heather. Yeah. I even, I've even tried in my desperation, the old, the old Chinese kind of, you know, alternative medicine muck. Oh, not the ground-up tiger penis. Piece of shit. A lot of those kind of like Chinese medicines kind of work

because they've actually got like proper medicine in them. Right. Because the rules aren't just very stringent. If you just say it's like a nutritional supplement, you can put any old... So they're saying like, basically, you need to take some crushed up tiger penis for your erectile dysfunction,

but they're actually just slipping a bit of aga in there. That's what you say. Apparently a lot of the the old trucker speed and the, you know, penis pills at truck stops in America, they're all just, they've just got Viagrinum. Right. Which is amazing, isn't it?

Yeah, people really love smashing those, like, five-hour energy shots and stuff in the US. Well, five-hour energy shots seem to be one of those things that were exclusive. They've never really sort of come over here, have they? Have they got something in them that we can't have on it? Possibly. I think, yeah, they are everywhere in the year. Like, when you get in that jet lag vibe,

when you first go to the US and you're up really early, I would always like pop out to the shop and grab some breakfast stuff for the family and stuff A little five hour energy No no because because those In the US Like the shops are over 24 hours

So you get so you go there like 6am And the amount of people buying that stuff To start their day in a bit yeah And I'm like I'm such a I'm such like a kind of I'm so like weak on that stuff I can't have that I won't get involved in energy drinks

I won't get involved in that kind of stuff I think if you had an energy drink you'd shit your pants because you drink tea don't you? I'm not used to it You're not used to even a cup of coffee No

I've got a real Like Bruce Lee Mental block about About having Certain things that I've decided Are unhealthy for me Right So it will be excess caffeine

You know a croissant or Yeah Not good for you Things that I've decided All right I'll eat a packet of biscuits I fucking did it last night All right

Do you know what I had last night? What? It was almost impossible not to eat the entire packet. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Have you seen those? So, do you know the chocolate digestive caramels? Do you know those?

Yeah, okay. Do you know them? Yeah. They've got a jaffa cake version now. Oh. Where the caramel is orange flavors? Too sweet. Too sweet.

As the French say, too sweet. Too sweet. Too sweet. Yeah. You wouldn't be interesting in that? No, I'm not a biscuitman. I'm not a cake. You said a two-bucket.

I ate an entire packet. I love arts yesterday. You and I make John say that. And then you'll smash a whole packet of Haribos? Yeah. Is that not too sweet? It's just efficient. You know what I mean?

Get it in me. Get it in you? Yeah. You know what I mean? It's just too much dancing about, in it, the old, the old cake. No, I'm also not a, I'm not a chewy sweets guy. So I won't drink excess alcohol. I won't take on board excess caffeine.

I won't have energy drinks. And, but anything else on fire. Tell it to your Instagram. I do. I regularly do. What are you talking about? Do little little videos of like your workout regime and stuff like that. It's not going to be much of a video, mate.

I don't work out at all. I play golf, that's it. You play golf, and you consider buying an outdoor running machine. Do you know what was particularly galling yesterday? Is that I saw an Instagram. See, obviously, we all know how Instagram works. Clearly, it kind of accentuates the stuff you like and stuff you interact with. It gives you more of it.

And obviously, I've been to golf now, so it gives me the golf content. Golf content I saw yesterday, a piece of gold content that was yesterday, was a man celebrating his 100th birthday with a round of golf. Right, okay. And he's a 100 year old golfer, and he genuinely looked better than me. Can he hit the ball really hard?

No. No. But can I? Also, no. Because he didn't, it wasn't just a pudding green. He was actually... No, he's doing it, yeah.

Wow. And those old golfers, everyone knows anything about golf will tell you, those old golfers that are good, they've been playing for... He's probably been playing for fucking 80 years. They'll hit it not very far, but it'll go straight.

Right. They won't lose a ball. Right. They'll always know where their ball is. Right. They won't play their ego. They'll play the course. Yeah.

That's one thing you've got to learn about God. Will they bring the shit out of their golf bag with the golf club? No, probably not. What are you implying there? Somebody I know might have done that. I did do that. I did do that. That was the...

That was the tipping point for me to calm down. It was. I've said it before. I can't remember when they said it on the show. Why are you so angry about something you've only been doing for three months? Have you met me? You could just stop that and why you're so angry. Bruno.

has put into the... Oh, Rory. It was Rory last week, on it? Bruno put in the running order that there are now Yuzu lemon-flavored Jaffa cakes. I can't... The thing about Jaffa-Kakes is that they're a certain... You know, there are a certain brand.

You know, it's that whole kind of tax cakey biscuit, sort of debate, all that rubbish. Yuzu is too high rent... It's too lofty and ideal for a Jaffa-Kik, I think. It's usually just a lemon, but it's like a really powerful lemon. It's a silly lemon. It's a silly Asian lemon.

It's too lemony. It's too lemony for it's on good. Untenable in most application. You've got to mix it with soy sauce to make a delicious dipping sauce. It's one of those things that where you're like, you know, I bummed Japan and go to Japan as much I can. I don't think you should say you bummed Japan.

I don't think that's... Is that still acceptable? Oh, I don't know. Cut it out then. Edit that out. No, no, wait a minute. Can I just say, before we talk about editing something out, we did a ramble episode earlier where Dave Carlin's headphones were broken.

Yeah. And you wanted to keep in the entire section of Rory trying to fix them. Yeah, but the thing is, you weren't take this out. Just see it. Just see it, just see where it goes. We saw her it went. It was a technical issue that the listeners probably aren't going to be interested in. And all of a sudden, now you won't cut this out.

Well, I don't know. I don't know what the, I used to use the phrase, bummed in the gob quite a lot. I know. Stop doing that. Have you? No. I just think any, I think, I think, I think that's more comedy though, isn't it? I think bumming is something anyone can do.

So I think that's, I don't think that was ever adopted by any particularly problematic individuals. I think, but, you know. I wasn't saying it's cancelable. I was just saying it's a bit odd. Oh, yeah, no, it sounds fine with odd then. As long as you don't think it's cancelled, it's fine. All right, well, leave it in. I also just come back on that by saying, if you think I'm the barometer for this, that could be a problem.

But you say, I just think it's odd when you say, you know what, you know that I bummed Japan. Yeah. What does it mean? It just means I like to make love to it. Do you bum things you like then, do you? Yeah. I haven't been bummed by you. I don't like you.

Tells its own story. I don't like you. Do you say that? Have you ever been bummed by Pete? No, he hasn't. Yeah. Right. Bottom line is, I just don't think that it's one of those things that Yuzu.

Do you bum Yuzu? I know for a fact that Yuzo will be the next fucking bollocks. Oh, right. After your fucking matcher. Yeah. Matches, inexplicably, had an excellent 2026. Isn't it a weird phenomenon? It's bizarre.

We've just run out of new stuff. I think we have. Match has been around for fucking years, obviously. And it's not a particularly pleasant thing to drink. Yeah, but it's not even like that strong a flavour. Yeah, it's like a dry green tea kind of flavour, isn't it?

Some people like... There's a brilliant cafe on the corner of my road. Shout out Yiku is called. Yaku is a Taiwanese-inspired cafe because, of course it is, because I live in gentrified West Norwood. And they love... Taiwanified.

And the one thing they do do, which I respect a great amount, is they bake everything from scratch on the site. So the upshot of that is it's expensive, but it's a little treat, it's great. But the one thing I would say is they're sprinkling matter on certain things. And it's like, I don't know if that's adding anything. It's the pistachio of the 90s.

But I like pistachio's got a nice distinctive flavor, yeah. But yeah, I think matcha is, you're right, it does very little. It just provides a dryness and needless dryness to stuff. And the way I would say... Is it the Yuzu's going to be the next thing? Well, I think that matches kind of one of those things that you taste in...

You taste out there and you're like, yeah, fine. But the way that it's being consumed over here is just add it to a milkshake to make it green and colorful. But it's inexplicably popular. And I think, yeah, Yuzu will be the next thing. Hey, I don't like something that's lemon flavored.

I like Yuzu flavor. So that'll be like 2028. It'll be the year of the usual. You think it'll be that long? Jaffa cakes are already doing it. Yeah, but I think it's kind of like a... I think that'll be a limited edition. We don't know what we're doing.

We're panicking. They do a lot of limited edition flavors. Bruno, find some of the flavors that Jaffaakes do. There's bonkers ones in there. Lovely stuff. Bruno's like our Jamie from Joe Rogan. By the way, you see, I mean, I don't think I've ever listened to I watched a single Joe Rogan.

It's because you don't take our industry seriously. I don't. It doesn't deserve. And you are right to, you are right to occupy that position. But he had Rupert low on last week. He did. And he said Dunblain was. just a murder,

isn't he? Yeah. Just amazing. A very odd bloke. Yeah. And also, he's not learning his lesson, has he really?

He's really not learned his lesson. And Steve, and what I find interesting about that is, Rogan is wealthy, right? He's wealthy, multi,

multi, multi millionaire. Why is he listening to, um, the old Tesla blog? Has he not got any, has he not got any researchers? Right.

Or does he just not care? I guess he doesn't care. No, no, but I think I think he's listening as a, you know, um, um, alt-right,

uh, interested. you know, a vast proportion, or some of them, are in that kind of space who believe that, you know, London has fallen and all that shit. And, you know, they believe that Europe is in a migrant crisis. And so, therefore, someone like Rupert Law probably ticks a lot of boxes for, you know,

he's probably relatively, we know he's a weirdo, but the Americans just feel any, you know, affected. I think he's a British eccentric. Yeah, just a British eccentric. You know, but, yeah, it's astonishing bit of work. And also, let's think about, Rogge. He doesn't actually really bring anything to the table, doesn't it? He just sort of goes,

So they literally can't go into London unless they're Muslim. And then, and then Rupert-Lowe was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Huh. You know what I mean? And then before you're not, you're getting the dick pill advert or something. But the one thing I also found absolutely fascinating. Oh, before I do that, Bruno's letting us know that Jaffa Cakes-Pete have done hot honey, white chocolate, cola bottles, strawberry, mango, raspberries,

and Cosmic Berry. They're fucking gimmick central. I mean, they're just pissing about, aren't they? I think so. Mucking about with it. Mucking about with a classic. Hot honey. I mean, what is that?

A little bit of space with some honey. As Chris, you about to say, let me add a little bit of space to proceedings. It's just astonishing. Like, hot honey you have on exclusively cheese. Like a, you know, like a meaty cheese. Pizza?

Hot honey. Yeah. Can I also just say that Stephen Bartlett had Graham Hancock on his show last week. Oh, she was Graham Hancock. He is absolutely bananas. He is like a pseudo-archologist

who pretends that there was like an ancient civilisation of giants knocking about the world and he finds evidence for them all over the place and he is like a laughing stock in the scientific community. And... Bartlett is so fucking weird how Bartlett makes it the most serious thing.

And like really... The way that he sort of delivers his stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think he's completely disappeared off the flywheel now, Bartlett. I always thought it was completely bonkers, but he's disappeared off the flywheel entirely. This company sounds mental as well. Yeah.

But yeah, I mean, Graham... You've run out of guests and you just go off a clicks eventually. You know what I mean? Race to the bottom. But that is the problem with guests-based podcast. It's exhaust. to keep up the pace. It just is. Getting, you know, good guests and stuff.

Yeah, so Theroux does it in series, doesn't he? Right. And Theru does get really good guests. Because he's fucking BBC man, isn't he? And I never... You flash your fucking press pass and you get... You know what? I never used to really like Theru talking to famous people. Right.

I didn't think of, unless they were properly of the kind of Uvra, you know, the Jimmy Saville stuff kind of thing. I get that. But like him talking to... I don't know, do a leaper. I'm not that bothered about that. I'm not going to... But he's actually had some really good guests on recently. And I also think that...

And this is obviously a sort of thing I would say, is that he... His episode recently was Stuart Lee was brilliant. Did you hear that? But is that about Stuart Lee just being Stuart Lee, though? Yeah. It's basically about Stuart Lee. Yeah, yeah.

Of course it is, yeah. Yeah. That's the problem. I would imagine, in his art of arts, Stuart Lee would have little patience with... But it started off, say, Stuart Lee, started off by saying, why have you asked me to

Spotify? And Louis Thoreau's like it's a Spotify show he's like, yeah he said well I don't want to do it then I've taken all stuff off Spotify and Thru's like oh well you don't have to do it we don't want to and he's like oh well I've got to be in town for the next few hours because I've got something okay I will do it kind of thing and it kind of goes from there

but I think I know this is a really typical thing for a 45 year old man who thinks he's clever to say but I do think Stuy at least really interesting like the chat is really interesting because he also he doesn't hold back from what he actually thinks about stuff. And if you think about it,

not many people in entertainment really do that. He's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a lovey without really, um, and he gets away without, with, with not being a lovey at the same time, I would say. But he was saying that like, he did, he did a, um, he did a, um, he did a, um, he, he did a, um, he, he did a, um, he, he, and then, as the werewolf, he becomes this like Joe Rogan type comedian. Right. And he subverts the whole fucking punching down offensive stuff. It's apparently, and a few people told me it's really good.

But he also, apparently, in a set he did a few years ago, he went to town a load of different comedians. And then it meant that he couldn't do any comedy festivals. He just felt too awful. He just felt too... Right, okay, yeah, yeah. And then he started to try and say that, oh yeah, but, you know, the Stuart Lee, the character, a Stewart Lee, the person.

The character would have to say that, but stewardly the person doesn't think that. It's like, hmm. Yeah. You're very much deciding where the line is there, though, aren't you? Basically, it's the excuse to say whatever you want, basically. Because it's like Johnny Vegas. Johnny Vegas do what every fucking wants.

Obviously, he's not actually Johnny Vegas, is he? He's got a different name and he's someone else entirely. Johnny Vegas is a tragic alcoholic. Right. And the guy who plays Johnny Vegas, admitted he did become a drink. He did become a drink. But he said that, like, he had to step back from that character

because it got blurred, basically. You're very much like that, I think. Yeah, thanks. Pete Donaldson, the family man is not Pete Donaldson the Japan bumming eccentric Except you kind of are, aren't you? Yeah.

Oh, well, look, I don't mind that. I don't mind that as a title. Would you say you're performing a character right now? Do I sound like I'm performing a character right now? I don't think I really know the real Pete Donaldson. No, you never will. You'll never get to my hot honey centre.

Let's turn this into inside the active studio. Right. What really makes Pete Donaldson tick? Trimbor. What's that? An inhaler. My inhaler. Thank you very much for this.

Joining us in this week's inside the actors studio. It's just a one-minute episode. Oh, Lordy. But yeah, so just going back to Graham Hancock, he argues that an advanced society with spiritual technology thrived during the last ice age until comet impacts about 13,000 years ago.

And look, if you want to believe that, that's fine. Enjoy it. But the problem is, when your son's the head of factual at Netflix and you start getting shows in the documentary section making out that it's real. Is that how that all... Yeah. Is he a Nepo Dad?

Yeah, he's like a Nepo Dad. He's like a Nepo Dad. Yeah, and then he goes on Stephen Bartlett, and Stephen Bartlett takes it seriously. Yeah. It's like, what damage are you doing? I think if you're a Bartlett or a Rogan, you kind of, you spend so much time in this space and you spend so much time talking to mad

AI Silicon Valley idiots and etc., etc. And those kind of men who never do any work. or do anything physical, do anything really. They just sort of go down this kind of like rubber hole and that sort of stuff starts to sound negotiable. It starts to sound realistic. Is it the same way that Ricky Jervais does what he does because he's got no contact with the actual world?

Yeah, but he's just a rich guy, he's just kind of... It's just so in principle though, right? Yeah, I guess. Because you've basically got all the time in the world to think up bonkers ideas and no one tells you no. Yeah. And the thing I particularly think

Bartlett is dangerous for it's because it's presented in a serious holier-than-now package. If you're just going to do your thing and slum it and just say, yeah, I'll do whatever I fucking want, thanks very much. Leave me alone, haters. Fine. But the way he conducts it and the way he presents it and he talks all the time about how he's

doing all this really highfaluting stuff. Yet he's having Graham Hancock on. But maybe he'd had a glass of wine before the booker got in touch. I podcasted worse. I podcasted it worse. My booking agent booked. I booked worse. Yeah. Luke,

Would you like to go and see the Beaux Tapestry? Yeah, I would actually. I think I might have seen it before. Really? When did it last come to the UK? Oh, I don't know. I've got like maybe a false memory of being a kid and seeing it at the British Museum. When's the last time?

No, I mean, it's not been here for a little while anyway. I could be talking shit, but I'd like to see it, yeah. I'm very much interested in the box that it's coming. Okay. It's sort of like a double Almost looks like an old WWE wrestling cage That they've sort of wrapped around it

It has to be does it Yeah I think so it's like double caged And they did two practice journeys With a textile copy Do you think they had like sort of decoy Decoy vans and stuff Because it's not that big In the in all of it

It's kind of It's not actually even a tapestry as well It's linen With embroidered pictures of the tussle Between William Duke of Normandy and Harold Why is it so Oh I don't know

Sorry Bruno I've just checked It's not been in the UK For a thousand years But you are You are notably a thousand years old 150 15 years old

So I probably didn't sit When I was a kid No What I loved about it Peter Is Is I remember during a particularly Tough time For Kia Stama

Right You know Stama Stama the Farmer Stama Stama the Farmer Why have I not heard that Rachel Thieves He

He is Labour party announced that they had secured a nine-month loan for the Bayou Tapestry to come to London. It's a great example of how the UK is this and that. And I was thinking I don't think those people who are putting flags up on lamp posts care about that.

No. I don't think that's going to win you votes. That's not a vote winner for me. No. They're not really tapestry fans. We're all poor. Our energy prices are through the roof. What would be a really good strategy is for you to come out with some kind of way of proving that's not your fault

and you're doing your best for ordinary people. Bayo Tapestry's coming to the British Museum. It's a bit weird that we've never had it before, though, surely. Is it? Well, and is it going to arrive on Burnham's watch? Typical Burnham. Have we got a nickname for Burnham? Typical Burnham.

Taking the glory. The Burnham tapestry. There'll be a nickname for him, don't worry. Andy Bumham, the farmers. Randy, Andy, the bummed. Randy had sex with someone once. Yeah, there probably will be. But I am interested in seeing it.

Obviously, I'm a history nerd, I guess. History enthusiast, I would say. By which I mean I did my stretch and warm-up routine for golf the other day while watching compilation of YouTube videos celebrating the American 250th anniversary. Right, okay. So bit stuff on the revolution, bit stuff on the Civil War, bit stuff on Norman D and all that kind of stuff.

All the amazing moments that America had contributed. Right. So I am interested in history generally. Last time I was on the old elliptical in my house, I listened to a half an hour chat about Mao being a weirdo,

chairman Mao being a weirdo. Yeah. He was horny. Was he? Yeah. He was very, very horny. It's an interesting, it's an interesting, his sort of concubine and stuff,

completely subverted the patriarchal kind of political class. Right. Because the concubines ended up Mao couldn't like most sort of dictators. They can't really trust anybody. No. By the end. And then so therefore the only people that they can trust are the people

that they, you know, have sex with. So then they become weirdly powerful. Isn't that kind of... Yeah, so that's something that's kind of populated politics generally, though, right? So, I mean, the rest of history guys love talking about. I think it's Harold Wilson had a secretary who he was obsessed with

and was having an affair with. Right. And she got to the point where she was like basically turning, you're not going to that meeting. I love it. I don't think you should enact that that trade policy. Good. I'm out of glad. And it wasn't their talk that is it Askwith? One of the early 20th century

prime ministers literally during the first world war or as it was building up, I forget what I think it was asking, it might not have been, was like not paying attention in meetings because he was writing love letters to his daughter's best friend who he was obsessed with. Oh, that's a bit rich.

Richard Keyes. Which is like, don't think that that's not been going on all the time. No, it's mad, isn't it? It's crazy. Speaking of Chairman Mao, was directly responsible of 30 million deaths, something like that.

Yeah. What annoyed me about, when I'm on that. And little deaths in the orgasmic sense. Yes, absolutely. He had to be... He might have fathered children every single time. Well, he certainly had a lot of...

He was definitely sterile by the end because he was riddled with STD so he certainly... He would not use a robber. Right. I'm Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao, man. He's not using a fucking robber.

He also never used to bathe because it was a waste of time. Where'd you learn all this? And he would use... Just on me elliptical. Right. The educational elliptical. Yeah.

His hairdresser... Chinese made? Yeah, probably. Probably listening. They used to have to cut his hair while I was walking around. That's why it looks for shit. Well, he couldn't stop. He couldn't stop.

He couldn't stop. Didn't have time to have a shower. So he would just have people towel him down. I feel like, if I was a dictator, and he would just sort of like. All I do would be having showers in a wild. I know. It's a big shower. Tell you what,

somebody could annoyed me a few weeks ago when we were doing a ramble. And I got something wrong. And it's fair enough, I did get something wrong. And people were calling me up on it. Oh, I think it might have been the sun thing. Right. I got something wrong. That's a difficult week.

I got something wrong. It was an error of judgment. Listeners, I got something wrong. I did. I said that and that's fine. And, you know, fine. The giants did not inhabit the earth. But what annoyed me was in the same week, the biggest podcast in this country,

the rest is politic. We're talking about... Spons of my fuse energy. Yeah, we're talking about... Good energy company. We're talking about how cool it was that Rory Stewart's dad shook hands with Chairman Mao.

Yeah. And it's like, no one says a word about that. They get away with that. It's a cool discussion point. They have a good laugh about that one of their dads shook hands with a man who killed 30 million people. I heard that bit.

What are the rules? What are the rules? I'm trying to keep a fucking independent company afloat. And I'm getting hauled over the cold. You're shaking hands with the baldied spectacle man. That news international. Oh, Rupert Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch.

You're shaking hands with him. I am shaking hands with Rupert Murdoch. to keep young Bruno in a job. And I'm getting hammered. You were shaking as with Robert, yesterday, when you were trying to get a discount on your Sky subscription.

Don't think they're involved anymore, the Murdox. Are they not? Don't think so. With Sky? Are they? Really? I think they might have sold it.

We would have heard about that, wouldn't we? Who would they have sold it to? Bruno, look up if Rupert Murdoch still own Sky. I don't think you don't. So I'm just saying there's a double standard. Right. Yes.

I'm happy to take my medicine if that over there are taking their medicine. Does he still on talk spot? News International. Don't know. Right. Yeah, News International do own Right.

Yeah. But News International don't own Sky. Right. But they, Bruno, find that for us, were you? Murdoch doesn't on Sky any more. There we go. I thought, yeah, I think he sold it. Some estimates put it at 55 million.

I presume that's Chairman Noun's head count. But, um... Can you call it a head count? Death count. Disrespectful. Um, in the classic example of the Luke and Pete show Weave, I've also just learned that the... Do you know how long the Bayou Tapestry is?

Well, it seems like the box that it was. It's quite small, but I presume it's rolled up. It will be, I'm sure. Like an old school. Have a guess how long it is. It's got 600 odd people in it, so... How big are they? How big are they? How big the people?

600 me or 600 you? Well, lying down, that would matter, wouldn't it? But it would just mean you. But your chat up, cut your head off. Did you see my joke on the ramble? I said, Luke's 6 foot 2, two, two measurements. Hey! What do you mean?

The penis, two inches are? Six foot two. Yeah. Actually, I said 6 foot 2 inches. two measurements. Where'd you learn that? Shane Gillis tell you that. Shane Gillis.

Shane Gillis? You like him. How do you like him? Where were we? Answer the question. What? Bayotapestry. Length.

I think it's probably Do you want it in meter? You're going to have to have it in meters. I've got it. I can do either. I can do meters or feet. All right. Okay.

I'll think it might be 70 meters. So you know the, The monelice is very small. Yeah. 70 meters. Yeah. Guess how long it is? 70 meters.

It is 70 meters. Is it actually? That's right on my ass. Yeah. There we go. Great stuff, right? Give me something else that's long. That's how long tall it is.

That's good, isn't it? It's good. Yeah. It's big. It's big. It did well. I think it's a pitch take that. It's a bit like,

you know how when a photographer takes a picture of someone on a red carpet? They own the copyright, even though it's a picture of them. Who owns a copyright? The photographer. No matter. That's fucking bullshit. It's mad, isn't it? It's mad.

Yeah. But, and so when people put pictures that, you know, have you get images, you know, watermark or whatever, when they're illegally, you know, they haven't paid for the right to use the photograph. The implied consent

is that the photographer needs to be paid for anything that it's... Yeah, we got a bit of that. We got a bit of trouble that years ago and we once used a picture of Theo Walcott on the website. Right. And some geez and said, give me 250 quid now.

Yeah. It's like, isn't it? You play the game. I think you just play the game. I think we just took it down. Yeah. Fucking Theo Woolcott. That'll be funny.

I'm not paying for that. I'm not paying for a theory. What picture would you pay off? Pay for? What's going to make it, what's going to make it worth it for you, clicks-wise? We're thinking the Sydney-Sweeney's of this world.

No, I only really like artwork that's like mythical fairies or wolves right. Howling under a full moon. The three wolves. With a little fairy of a bluebell on their head. I really like that stuff and that's kind of mythical.

I'm more of a mythical guy. So I wouldn't really get involved in that. Right. And I don't think I'm going to be realistic paying for a photo with Sydney, Sweden. No, no, I'm saying for what purpose. Because per-

Oh, right. Drive industry. I can know what I'm doing. After you've put your blog up. Right, let's get out of here. It's the end of the looking pitch show. You're not going to say the point about the photographers,

getting the rights. Oh, it's good to say, oh yeah, I just think that the French... I just think the French should have brought it to us to our shores sooner. Because obviously it's half and half pictures of us and pictures of them,

in it? Well, yeah, that's true. And there's always a chance they could get sued by the descendants of Harold Hadrada. Exactly. So, you know, it's important to wear that in mind.

Have respect for that lineage. Respect Harold for crying out there. Bruno, let us know there's any direct descendants to the love Harold Hadrada. Right, off we go. We can get all our edits through if we just keep him busy for a week.

We're back on Thursday, the 16th of July. It's going to be a good day. It doesn't do at the end of the fucking World Cup, look him are. Excitin, isn't it? Exciting, isn't it? Not one left.
