it's the look of pete shaw it is monday the 12th of september i'm pete don Donaldson, and I'm joined by Luke Moore. It's as simple as that, really.
We sit here for half an hour every Monday, every Thursday,
and we do the Luke and Pete show, and it's just about Luke's life.
It's about my life.
It's about your life, listeners.
So if you want to get to the show, hello.lukeandpete.com is the way to do it.
Do not crash the email, you C-word.
I'm trying to do my best with the ad.
All life.
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
Do the email address again, because I did sing Desiree over it.
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com.
I also want to say, at the top of the show,
rather than at the end of the show,
because I think our listeners to this show
won't be as bad as some out there,
but I think as soon as you start
making those movements towards wrapping up the show people you know what people are like the
bastards they'll be like what's next they'll turn it off so they get their bags they get their bags
on their shoulders they're walking out don't go don't go don't go until you're dismissed we'll
shout yeah that bells for me not for you um as the teacher would say so i want to set the top of the show today um if you have enjoyed the show we've had some lovely emails recently um actually
um and it's been really nice to hear i want to try and find one specifically it's from tom actually
hope he doesn't mind me reading his name out tom uh i'll just use his first name in case he does
well you just emailed in saying look i've got nothing to contribute to the show but i really
enjoy listening to it and thank you very much for making it for us and that kind of stuff is lovely
get a fuck Tom
you fucking simp
you look a piece of your simp
get off yourself
but I would like to say that
if you do want to appreciate the show
we always love hearing from you in whatever capacity
but if you do really want to show us some real appreciation
it's a 5 star review wherever you get your pods
so please do that because it's not only an endorsement for us,
but it's a ringing endorsement for producer Rory
and our other colleagues as well,
all of whom work really hard and don't get the credit.
They don't get to swan around in leather waistcoats
or get all the plaudit.
So we should try and appreciate them as well if we can.
The thing about this leather waistcoat,
which I'm still wearing,
because we haven't just recorded two shows together honest uh governor um are they um this
was on from ebay so this has been taken from someone's body uh not not like they're dead
hopefully not we don't know you leather waistcoat 60s um they yeah, like this was on somebody.
This was worn unironically by somebody.
I'm wearing it ironically until I'm not.
Yeah, but you know, who is it who said that we are,
we become what we pretend to be, right?
Yes, okay.
I think it was, I'm going to hazard a guess
that it's probably a Kurt Vonnegut or a Mark Twain.
We are, we become what we
pretend to be right yeah you've pretended to be an arse for a while now yeah ironically i've become
an arse as as the as the line been as the line been blurred the tall blood the arse line the
arse crack has the arse crack been blurred between arse and and no no yeah no i i
completely uh i completely agree i have become an arse because i played an arse so many times
and so often no i don't think you are an arse i think you're a lovely pair of nuts thanks thanks
mate so on thursday we talked about the idea that today on monday happy monday everyone by the way
lovely to have you with us i hope of another great week, we hope.
Yeah baby.
You talked about the fact that you went to Wales, to Cardiff,
to watch Clash at the Castle, a WWE event.
Yes.
With Mark Haynes, your pal from WrestleMe.
I think, for the avoidance of any doubt,
if you wanted to hear a proper deep dive on that event and on wrestling generally,
For the avoidance of any doubt, if you wanted to hear a proper deep dive on that event and on wrestling generally,
Peter Mark's show, Wrestle Me, is over there and available to listen if you want to part with a little bit of cash.
Is that right, Peter?
That's correct, yeah. Mark's very good.
We are, by the time you've heard this, we've just done a live show in King's Place,
and we had a bloody lovely time, no doubt.
We're currently sort of dealing with the launch of the Attitude Era which is actually
quite interesting
because we watched
a documentary about
Woodstock 99
or whatever it was
quite recently
and similar sort of vibe
similar sort of time
similar sort of
men shouting
fucking yeah
fucking up yours
from the middle finger
yeah
all that shit
so it's quite interesting
to see how weird
the male Igor was
so head over there
for that
I couldn't agree more
but Peter
you did say that
you wanted to talk
a little bit about it
on this show as well
now without duplicating
some of the excellent
content over there
so you haven't talked
about Clash of the Castle
and the rest of me
yet but you can talk
about it here now
done a little bit
done a little review
in the hotel room
oh good
two men
because I watched
a bit of it on TV
I knew you'd want to
I knew you'd want to
talk about it
I thought
Pete's going to want
to talk about this
it's the first wrestling
event in the UK
since like 1992
or whatever
it's free to watch
if you've got a
BT subscription
which I had
and the wifi
I have access to
it was away for the
weekend
so could the stars
have aligned any better
well what was your highlight then because you're not a man who watches a lot of wrestling what was your for the weekend. So could the stars have aligned any better? Well, what was your highlight then?
Because you're not a man who watches a lot of wrestling.
What was your favourite bit?
Well, I'm not a man who watches any wrestling, in fact.
My highlights were...
So...
So...
My experience and memory of watching WWF, as it was then,
was mostly on VHS videotape.
Yeah.
Recorded off the telly or bought for us for Christmas or birthdays or whatever.
WrestleMania 7, you know, I think 7 was, I think Hogan versus Sergeant Slaughter.
That kind of stuff, right?
Yeah.
One thing I massively wasn't prepared for watching it last weekend, whenever it was,
watching it last weekend whenever it was was the hd coverage is so almost i want to say intimate that it's quite unsettling what do you mean you can see um back
acne so you can really hear the slaps they slap each other yes you can really hear them smashing into the canvas. You can really see how much they're sweating,
how tight their pants are.
The blokes will just wear little tiny pairs of pants, obviously.
And so I watched the fights I watched,
or the bouts, whatever they call them in parlance,
were Seamus versus Gunther.
Yeah.
And after that, there was a blonde lady
who won some kind of belt whose name I can't remember.
Yeah.
I wonder if it's called Liv Masters or something.
Is that her name?
Liv Morgan.
Liv Morgan.
Okay, right, yeah.
They're the ones I watched.
Yeah.
So you saw Gunther, who was called Walter forever,
and then he goes up a division a little bit,
and now he's called Gunter.
Nobody knows why.
They just have a real penchant for just changing everyone's names
until they own every part of their kind of IP, effectively.
Right.
But Gunter has a real love of doing big slaps.
Big fucking slaps.
Yeah, there were a lot of slapping going more slapping than i thought there
would be yeah he's not he's known for being having big hands and there's a famous picture of him do
if you type in like walter slap wrestling uh you'll just see a man hitting another man's chest
so hard that it ripples uh in the most disgusting way you've ever seen in your life. But he just knows how to absolutely slam his hands on a man's chest
until there's a disgusting ripple kind of effect on it.
Well, that's a great claim to fame.
Not one I expected to hear about today.
But that's why Seamus' chest was all fucked up.
So one of the things I found quite interesting was the fact that,
so Seamus, who I did know, who's been around for a long time,
he must have been around for like 20 years. I vaguely remember his kind of because I think he's Irish isn't he like and and so um not the traditional kind of all-american kind of wrestler
type and one thing I wasn't really prepared for either was how much the front rows of the crowd
were into it they're like so into into it. Yeah. It was,
it was,
it was,
I think with,
especially at that sort of rate,
if you're,
to be fair,
if you're paying,
there are people who were in the,
because obviously it was at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff,
whatever the fuck they call it now.
And we were at the very back.
We couldn't have been any further back.
We were at 60 quid tickets each.
And we had an atrocious view of...
Did you get people recognising you as being the WrestleMe boys?
A couple of times, yeah, a few times, yeah.
And hello, anyone, WrestleManiacs.
Hello, Pat Patronsons, et cetera, who came up and said hello.
But we were right at the back, so we couldn't see fuck all.
So the screens were very useful to us.
But then there's that midpoint where, if you're at the back, so we couldn't see fuck all. So the screens were very useful to us. But then there's like that midpoint where if you're at the football,
you would be at the front of the crowd.
You know what I mean?
Because you've got the floor people, and then behind them,
you've got the people who, if, would be behind the advertising hoardings
at a football match.
Yeah, I'm not even going to do it.
And they were paying something like 200 quid for tickets still.
And yet they couldn't see anything either they were miles
away from everything so it's such a big money spinner and they they call capacity like 60 000
63 000 um the woe have um it's it's not libelous to say they frequently do bullshitty things on
on the attendance they they they count people They count people who work in the...
in the...
selling beer. They count people
like staff. They count people who
rig the joint and stuff as people who've watched
the show. How many people are they climbing with them?
So they said it was 62.
Bless you!
Bless you again!
Oh, lordy.
Someone think of the common man.
Yeah, he... it was probably a lot
less than that and to be honest half of the
or a good third of the stadium was out of bounds
because they didn't put seats there
because it's behind the
camera so there's no people
there. So those
listening who listen to the Football Rambler as well
will know of the legend that is
Big Pav
and he took his those listening who listen to the Football Rambler as well will know of the legend that is Big Pav.
And he took his wife and his three kids to that event and he told me it cost 1,800 quid.
I mean, good fucking Lord.
How do you even square that away?
That's amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
Yeah, he's got loads of money,
but he was still moaning about it.
Well, actually... That's not even to do with
that's not even transport
and hotels and everything
no
and the hotel
we got lucky
because
I met Gav
he bought tickets
because he's
he's a seasoned
Welshman
who knows what Cardiff's like
on a night like that
and he bought tickets
he bought
a hotel room
he rented a hotel room
what do you do fucking get a hotel room he rented a hotel room what did you do
fucking get a hotel room
yeah
got a hotel room
for the night
everyone else was like
500 quid minimum
500 fucking notes
and everyone was like
all the Airbnbs
like an Ibis or something
500 notes
they were all
at least
300 quid
like
and a normal hotel room
and that was just hostels
did you make some
beautiful memories
we did make some beautiful memories we had a good time I drank half a bottle of Gaviscon never done that and that was just hostels. Did you make some beautiful memories? We did make some
beautiful memories.
We had a good time.
I drank half a bottle
of Gaviscon.
Never done that before.
That was brilliant.
That was fucking brilliant.
Why did you do that?
Well, the night before
I went out for a drink
with my mate Al
who's for some reason
in Southend
and we went for a drink
and I had
one of those
you know those
like in an IPA place
that you have like
sours and stuff
and I was like
let's try one of these
sour things
and I had a couple of sours and I was like they're not too bad actually they're like
you know they're pretty interesting and i like something i like the tart uh tartar end of stuff
uh and then the next night i was like yeah i'll have one of them actually i'll have a couple of
sours before we go in and i'll have a i'll have a cider and i was feeling full of the joy of spring
and then oh body doesn't like it uh And so as soon as we left the wrestling,
I had to go and drink
an entire half bottle of Gaviscon.
Just an amazing amount of Gaviscon.
I'm not sure you should be doing that.
Can you overdose on it?
I don't know,
because Americans drink Pepto-Bismol,
don't they?
They just fucking slam it down.
You can drink a whole bottle of Pepto-Bismol.
I mean, you'd be shitting through the eye of a needle.
I don't know if you should be saying that on a podcast.
You can drink a whole bottle of Pepto-Bismol?
I saw Gordon Ramsay on Hot Ones,
you know, when he ate the hot wings.
Yeah, that's a really good episode of Hot Ones, that one.
Yeah, and he's just constantly burping
and slamming Pepto-Bismol.
So he must know what he's talking about.
He's a big man.
He's a big man on campus.
But yes, in summary,
it was a lot of fun.
Got to tick off a few people,
like Burley and Asker,
who I'd never seen wrestle.
And then it got to the end,
and the hometown kind of hero,
even though it wasn't really his hometown,
Drew McIntyre.
Drew McIntyre, Scottish.
And he basically,
he's been wanting this pay-per-view
to happen in the United Kingdom for years.
Like, you know, that was kind of his mission.
And he's been, you know, plugging away at it.
So, come on, let's do a pay-per-view.
And it's the first one since SummerSlam 92 or 93
or whatever it was.
And so, like, it's not on for a very long time.
And he gets it and he loses against...
Sorry, yeah, he does a good fight against Roman Reigns
and Roman Reigns defeats him thanks to help by...
What's his name? The boxer, the big boxer.
Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury. So Tyson Fury helps him, shakes his name, the boxer, the big boxer. Tyson Fury.
Tyson Fury.
So Tyson Fury helps him, shakes his hand in the ring.
Roman Reigns leaves with the belt and wears it, everyone.
Goodbye, everyone.
Acknowledge me.
Daddy eats first.
All that stuff.
All that bollocks.
I'm the biggest dog in the yard.
Bollocks.
And he leaves.
And then Drew McIntyre kind of sort of has a little sing-song with Tyson Fury.
Yes, that's like Tyson Fury's thing.
I know, but why is...
Tyson Fury's just helped his opposition win the belt.
Wrestling's not real, though, is it? It's a theatre, isn't it?
It is theatre but even for wrestling
and I am
pretty across it
at the moment
the old wrestling
that's a bit mad
that was a bit of a
mad decision
what does Big Vince think
about all this
I don't know
he's probably
he's probably just
keeping his head down
I imagine
I would be
if I was him
but all in all
it was a fun show
saw a lot of slaps
everyone was very
excited to see Edge
and we were right at the back.
Mark was talking and a lady in front told him,
be quiet.
Be quiet.
She sounds like a Poacher subscriber.
The best thing was that I think at the time,
Mark was saying how much he thinks he should be a wrestler,
which is funny.
Oh, my goodness me
which is funny
it's funny
let's have a break
Peter when we come
back we'll reward
our listeners who
don't give a shit
about wrestling for
sticking with us by
not talking about
wrestling in the
second half how
about that
okay if anything
should be rewarded
we're back and it's
the Luke and Pete
show Luke did you
see that clip from
this morning with
Phil and what's our chops Holly Pete show. Luke, did you see that clip from this morning with Phil and...
What's our chops?
Holly.
They're doing a spin to win.
Holly, they're doing a spin to win
to win the energy, Phil.
It made me feel really, really sad.
Tell people what it was.
So it was basically,
they were doing a bit of a wheel of fortune
and I think they had collars on
and the collars get the opportunity to spin to win
and you can either win one grand, three grand
or, which is probably more these days,
your energy bills.
And it's just a bit depressing, isn't it?
Yeah, the guy who was playing on the phone,
like, I mean, by his own admission said,
you know, he's on the bones of his arse
and he was really hoping for the energy
bill prize and then that's what he did get on the wheel of fortune on the uk's premier uh daytime tv
program and um so he was delighted that he got i think they they said they'll pay the energy bills
for four months for him and that is now a prize on a daytime tv
show in the uk it's it's a bit uh you know you see like videos like north korea and you go wow
that is what kind of video well just like well literally a tv show giving away fucking energy
bills or giving you uh i don't know it's giving you like a new wall for your
house or something just something i'm pleased they made it clear on this morning because it
just said energy bill i'm pleased they weren't just going to hand you another bill congratulations
you want an energy bill i don't want that ah nuts never mind i don't even have gas in my house you
do now yeah it's Absolutely atrocious.
It's all very kind of depressing.
I think also it's so odd because, you know,
we're having a moan up about water and the water companies,
that kind of stuff the other week.
I was down at my parents' last weekend.
Loads of water down there.
Say again?
Loads of water down there. I know.
And I'm going to come on to that in a minute. Not to drop to drink. I'm going to come on to that in a minute. So anyway, I'm water down there say again loads of water down there I know and I'm gonna come on to that
in a minute
not to drop to drink
I'm gonna come on to that
in a minute
so anyway
I'm driving down there
and there's a massive load
of um
traffic
and the reason is
surprisingly
yet another fucking
water main is burst
and there's just water
pissing out everywhere
and no one there
fixing it
and
and it made me
um
it made me um
double down on my act of civil disobedience,
i.e. using the garden hose still whenever I want,
because if they're not going to sort their act out, then fuck them.
But this might be a particularly stupid question.
So, I mean, fear for the laugh at me, both you, Pete, and anyone listening.
But two-thirds of the world is covered by water, right?
I don't understand why there's not been huge amounts of progress
in the idea of desalination and stuff like that,
because clearly that could be an answer to this.
What do you mean?
As in you just think pump a load of water out of the...
Yeah, but it just takes a lot of energy, doesn't it?
Wouldn't it take less energy to purify the water
we should already have in the reservoirs?
Well, I know that there are desalination plants in the UK,
but what I'm talking about is more the technology of it,
that why it isn't kind of a lot more effective
or why we don't use it an awful lot more than we do,
if you know what I mean.
Because there's a desalination plant run by Thames Water in London, right?
But it only started construction in 2008
um oh right okay and it can only produce i think 140 million liters of water a day or so which
sounds like a lot but i guess in the grand scheme of things perhaps isn't i wondered why it's taken
so long for this stuff to happen particularly when you talk about like places that are genuinely
in drought or all the rest of it proper droughts that are affecting the economies and all the rest of it it just seems to me like a little bit remiss of us as a species
and i'll be totally honest with you i've done nothing towards this right so i'm as much to
blame as anyone else but it just seems crazy to me that like the whole world is covered by so much
water that it can't be that hard to desalinate or and you know what this you know what things are
like the more technology progresses the more it's invested in the better it gets the more efficient
it gets etc etc but it doesn't really seem to have happened no one really talks about it that much
no well maybe it's just it's just not um it's not workable i don't know i mean is the water
too far away from us i don't know like i mean i guess we're an island for fuck's sake
but wouldn't they sort of go...
So basically, the water companies,
they're losing all the water from their shitty pipes
that they've not bothered to pay for the infrastructure for.
So instead of paying that money and slicing the bonuses,
what we can do is get some tax breaks from the government
to build new facilities and get loans from the government to build new facilities
and get loans from the bank to build new facilities.
It's all sexy and that.
And then we can cream a little bit of money off the top, yeah?
Well, it sounds like it might be a bit like that,
but sea levels are rising.
That's a problem.
Take the excess sea levels and desalinate them and use them for water.
Like Edwina Curry on the breakfast television.
That was amazing as well.
What the fuck is she doing?
With the foil.
Let's just evolve to drink salty water.
Do you know what the thing about Edwina Curry
and those listening from outside the UK,
you will be blissfully unaware of the existence of Edwina Curry.
She's like an ex-conservative member of parliament in the UK.
And this is the thing I've got beef with, right?
I can probably just about stretch myself
to understanding the logic that if you are currently a serving MP
and you are awful, fine, right?
You're awful.
You sometimes have to go out there and do your job, right?
So you have to just stand in a bucket of shit
on behalf of what you consider to be the greater good
and talk about shit on TV that makes you embarrassed,
right? No, I wouldn't do it, and I'm
sure you wouldn't, Peter, and many of our listeners wouldn't, but people
do do that, and I understand
why they do it, even though I wouldn't do it.
Edwina Couric's made her dough,
right? She is
older, she doesn't need
this, she doesn't need to be doing it,
she's not an MP anymore.
She hasn't been for a long time.
She's made her dough.
Why is she going on this TV show
and talking about poor people in her words,
quote, unquote, poor people
just need to learn how to live without central heating
and learn how to put foil behind their...
You don't need to be doing this.
Just say no.
You're making an absolute cunt of yourself.
But where does that... how does that kind of
how do you get
from the point of view
of the TV show
on ITV
like what
how does it
how do they get
all the
why do they ask
Edwina Curry
why do they ask
where's the agents
is it an agent
do they just call the agency
and go
have you got anyone
who's got any kind of
air of authority a recognisable face come on the telly and say something fucking batshit agents is it an age do they just call the agency or have you got anyone who's got any kind of air
of authority a recognizable face come on the telly and say something fucking batshit is that kind of
the way so if it's replicate if it's replicable like when i was on talk radio like talk sport
yeah in the production meeting you would have these issues that you were going to cover on the
show and you say right who knows someone to come on and talk about this yeah and so one of the producers will say oh um i'll call edwina
sure she might do it and they'll call her and say do you want to do it i need you on at five past
or whatever can you come on yeah and that happens all the time now particularly in post-covid
because people don't come in so they have to organize it so that's what we would do we'd say
look um i would say like oh yeah there's been an announcement i'll send the champions league
draws coming up or whatever.
Yeah.
We need to cover it today.
Can anyone find someone?
And I would call Andy Brassel or Horncastle or Lars or someone and say,
do you want to come on?
And they would sort the fee out and then they would come on.
So it basically just works like that,
I think.
So she's obviously so out of touch that she's got nothing on that morning.
She's probably,
you know,
the Bridge Club's not fucking,
you know,
not in season or,
you know, there's no fucking cake competition to be judging down the fucking
local village hall or something she's just doing it like yeah to me it's baffling because i saw
something i found really interesting which is funny it's like all these like brexit types
mostly got older older kind of conservative voters you know it's fine up to them um but they're there i saw someone
tweet saying all these older got people pensioners who are starting to um all these people in their
60s who were kicking off about the fact that they didn't have central heating when they were growing
up so young people should just get on with it are about to find out the differences between
a teenager's immune system and a 60 year old's because if it happens to you it might be
very different at that age you know and these are these are these older people like you shouldn't
become that type of person who is like what i perceive to have had it hard so you should as
well or you should have it worse like sometimes you hear these kind of and they're normally right
wing conservative type people and and you hear them talking about how if young people just stopped eating avocados or
buying expensive coffees or you know they would be able to do all the things that that person was
able to do with no idea and it's just complete fucking nonsense it's bullshit but it's just
economy doesn't work for young people now that's the problem but it's the same kind of like you
know i did we talk about the the the the's the same kind of like you know we talk about the the
the the culture war being kind of um imported wholesale from the us and and it doesn't really
fit it's a bit of a square peg in a round hole for us i think sometimes so right that's why it's it's
dying a little bit and that's why you know i think the second generation of this absolute
fucking disaster of a government will probably find it a lot more difficult than even Boris Johnson did.
And so I think with...
So I think...
What do you mean?
Generating like an imaginary enemy and getting people hit up about shit?
Yeah, I just think some of Liz's trust in particular,
who is, you know, I've been...
I've got a record on this fucking podcast.
I am fucking...
I cannot wait for it all
to get started properly
because she is
a wonderful maniac
like just about
as bad as it's ever been
I think
I would agree with that
for
she's a unique
maniac
in a
in a
in a front bench
of unique maniacs
if anyone can comment on that
I think you are
well over your rights mate
finally your tickets
have come home
I don't I don't even say these things out loud.
And so, like, I find my mum and dad kind of texting the same kind of talking points,
just the same fucking talking points that the Daily Mail, in particular,
have sort of picked up and have kind of run with.
So it's kind of it's it's
that generation it's it's not about anything they've come up by themselves it's just fucking
the daily mail it's just it's not it's not their own there's not and there's not there's not there's
never been any sort of independent thought so like they're not coming up with this stuff they're just
repeating because they're tired yeah and i think those kind of soundbites it's a replacement
for charisma these days they're generating what the daily mail's there they're generated on purpose
for people to repeat them aren't they that's what that's why like um that's why political parties
have slogans for example and that's why newspapers do that kind of thing but i'll tell you why this
to me why this is relevant and i you know i know people don't want us to be preaching forever and
i understand that but like the reason this is important for all of us and the reason this is relevant and i know people don't want us to be preaching forever and i understand that but like the reason this is important for all of us and the reason this is relevant i believe
is because you cannot keep squeezing and squeezing and squeezing particularly young people
and expect it to go on forever and be okay and what i mean by that is you are going to get a
generation of young people now we know because we work with we you know we employ we're very proud to employ and work with a lot of young people like relatively
speaking we you know we employ a good a good you know handful of them and they're all amazing and
i'm a great admirer of them for lots of different reasons but one of the main reasons we have to
admire them i think is because they are entering into what is you know implicitly a social contract
with society.
Yeah.
It says if they invest themselves and they work hard and they do this,
these are the returns they're going to get.
And for our generation, the returns are things like, you know,
you own your own house, I own my own house.
Everyone older than us, generally speaking,
has an opportunity to own their own house.
It's not going to be long before the generation currently,
the young generation coming out of university now,
or perhaps the generation behind them, are going to look at this society and go it's not fucking worth it
why the fuck would i bother why am i going to bother moving to london moving to manchester
moving to birmingham moving to glasgow edinburgh and work really hard in my chosen field for a
pittance knowing i'm never going to be able to own a home i'm never realistically going to be
able to support a family without government help.
The social contract isn't worth it.
So I don't accept it.
And if that happens, the whole economy will collapse
because the most productive people in this economy
are fucking hardworking young people.
And of course, there's always going to be a certain section of them
who are going to be okay because they've got parental income
or family wealth to rely on, or they go into certain trades that are still
protected in terms of their salaries but at the moment it's embarrassing for for young people
because you know we have to walk around our office and we know that they're never going to be able to
afford these things even though we pay them as much as we possibly can so like people have to
be very very careful endlessly slating young people as lazy and feckless and making poor decisions when the economy does not work for them.
Sooner or later, they are going to say, thanks, but no thanks.
I'm going somewhere else.
Or I'm going to embark on a completely non-traditional lifestyle because it's not worth it for me.
So we have to be careful on that stuff.
And people like Edwina Curry doing that stupid shit.
Yes, on the surface, it's just some old Tory tory being an idiot right but it actually means something more if we carry on
doing this and it's something we've got to be very careful about i believe do you remember
debbie curry's uh single though do you remember her daughter's
you're being serious really no remember i don't remember this at all. Yeah, she was...
She just looked like Edwina Curry.
It was in, like, the 90s.
OK, I'm starting to get a couple of bells rung.
Now, looking at her, yeah.
It's not her fault what her mum does, though, is it?
No.
I don't know.
I think she's quite vocal in the same way she was quite vocal to him
well if she's got
some dreadful opinions
then they are very much
her own fault
but I'm just saying
you can't blame
the daughter
for the perceived sins
of the mother
is what I'm saying
yeah true
true
she's got
she did her best
I don't think
Edwina Curry
is currently doing
her best
no
put some foil
over your daughter
put some foil
behind your daughter's career
and you'll find
the warmth
will radiate
around the music industry
