Welcome to the Luke and Pete show. It is Monday, the stairs down tiny calendars to 24th, 24th of May. And the weather's terrible. Luke's not here. He's taken a week off. He's having certain parts of himself removed and replaced with other augmented parts. And so we've got a special guest with us. And it's this guy. Hi, Pete. Great to be here. Patrick Stewart.

He much enjoyed the episode in which Jim Campbell fell in a canal and I just wanted a slice of that hot podcast pie. Yeah, it didn't need the heavy breathing at the end of it i've been playing with augmented real not augmented artificial intelligence uh kind of co-host uh audio uh i think this one's jerry clarkson repeat clarkson here i've noticed an increase in chatter on the podcast regarding the Fiat 500, a ride that is truly on to compare. A nippy little number that puts in mind a sexy little wood nymph,

willing to be chased through the trees and such. Anyway, just stopped by because I like the story about Jim falling in the canal. He's so hench now. He's so hench now. And finally for now, the one that went incredibly awry, Kanye West. It's the Lugan Peach, oh, but not his cell.

It's the Vish and Peach, oh, we be rolling up the club. We get in the club, we try to get the Moe, that Scottish 10-pound note. Obama says they know. The annoying thing is, that was a big story that I wrote out.

Vish is with me. Vish, welcome to the show, my friend. Thank you. Vish, producer and editor is here from the Football Ramble. This is me trying to give you a big kind of exciting entrance. I wanted Kanye West to come on the show and mention that you were going to be on the show. The problem is, Artificial Intelligence and Kanye West, they've somehow found audio of him singing Scottish Tempano,

but they can't find him talking about anything else, it seems. So it's just a lot of... It's all very strange. It did sound very early Kanye when I think he made a note of rapping like you could tell that his jaw was wired. You know, in the way that 50 Cent was always rapping about being shot, Kanye's thing was, oh, I have been in a car crash. We've been through this. Oh, Vish is on the show.

Thank you for joining us, Vish. You are from the Football Ramble. You are from the Independent. You are from everything. Yes. Yeah, yeah. That's what it says on my passport. They don't let me in anywhere. So you can't just write anything. No, That's what it says on my passport. They don't let me in

anywhere. So you can't just write everything. No, you can't write everything on your passport. What is in your

passport? Have you got a middle name? No, I don't. I don't either. Yes. Yes.

There we go. Two guys without middle names. I did wonder if it was, if I did originally have a middle name and then kind of

like Pangea just broke off and they joined my first answer name. Yes, lovely. Attracted towards the two, the two bits of your first and second name. So yeah, have a middle name and then kind of like Pangea just broke off and they joined my first answer name yes lovely attracted to us the two bits of your

first and second name so yeah Lucas and Aya Vish has kindly stepped in Vish we just need to find out a little bit more about you

because we've heard you on the Football Ramble but we don't know much about you other than that can you give us a pre-see of your life please

in five minutes? Because that could be quite boring so shall I kick it on to you? What would you like to know about me? Well the questions that we sort of ask a lot on

the podcast are stuff like has your dad bought anything big before? My dad bought, brought home a snooker table that was too big for the lounge. Did your dad ever bring

home something too large for the house? My dad's... What's your dad for the house uh my dad what's your dad into what is my dad into my dad is really into classical indian music right often from films and will sit like he will he spends all his day working at a computer and he'll come home and sit on the couch and plug his headphones into a laptop and just listen to a lot of that music, which is available on YouTube. And just like cycle through it. Nice. Much to the anger of my mum, who's always trying to call him from another room and obviously he can't hear. Yes.

In terms of purchases, he bought a treadmill about, it's coming about like 15 years ago now, and he's only just started using it. Well, that's good. Yeah, that's good. You don't get to walk around quite as much. Yeah, exactly. He's also bought a bike around 15 years ago, which he's now also using.

On the treadmill, though. Yeah. You know, like in cartoons, where they want to cook something quickly and they'll chuck something in the microwave and then put the microwave in the oven? Yes, yes. Like Dad's doing that with his own fitness drive?

Yeah, I guess my dad's quite similar in that my mum and dad both have, like, kind of headphones, like, to watch the telly. So they will sit and watch the same TV, the same show, and they will both, because they are responsible neighbours, they will put their headphones on. But it is, when you kind of appear for Christmas,

it's like you're in a silent disco and nobody's... And people are trying to attract the attention of someone and they've got their headphones on and they walk around the house and they've got their headphones on. It's all very strange. They're getting stranger as they get older. My dad wakes up at one o'clock in the morning and he will sit and watch um old um not

silent films but like old kind of 50s films the sort of films nowadays has a little warning at the start of it saying different times it's the talking pictures channel it's called talking pictures just black and white films from the 50s uh where you could get away with being incredibly ugly as a film star and incredibly bad at acting do you remember like back in the day they'd just be like yeah so that's what my dad watches from one one in the morning to to to eight in the morning when my mom gets up and they have this kind of like shift pattern uh where they only see each other for a few hours every day it's all very strange is that sweet or is that i suppose they just because one of the things they're still

together that's what i mean i mean that's the, because one of the things about- They're still together, but that's what I mean. I mean, that's the thing. One of the things I've noticed more with my mum and dad is that they're so comfortable with each other that they've broken back off into them as individuals. Yes. And it's like, you know, we've got everything sorted. We've had our two kids, you know, they're off doing whatever the hell they're doing because they don't answer our WhatsApps anymore.

Why do we break off back into our own routine so they still like hang out together and they also do the things they enjoy separately oh that's nice yeah that's lovely do you have a family whatsapp group we do right yeah because i'm the politics of the family whatsapp group is is interesting because my dad will send me spicy texts too hot for the family thread where it's like it's usually like a meme that's been forwarded a million times by old men with a woman with big boobies or something and I'm like, Dad. I've seen that one, yeah. It's a good one, that.

I've said it before on this podcast, they're obsessed with putting nipples on boobies that didn't have nipples in the first place. They'll go, there's apparently the Leaning Tower of Pisa in this picture and there'll be a woman with boobies and someone will have painstakingly coloured in nipples for some bloody reason uh either way it's all very strange and the jpeg compression is always terrible uh that's usually what this show is all about me complaining about memes and how

bad the jpeg compression is uh but my dad will send me the spicy memes uh and then he'll just send like the normal stuff on the family thread but then there are other people in our lives like my sister's husband why is he not allowed in the family group he's part of the family thread. But then there are other people in our lives, like my sister's husband. Why is he not allowed in the family group? He's part of the family now. Why is my partner not invited to the family group? Oh, that's a good point. I mean, I wouldn't want that unless...

So my partner is in the family WhatsApp group. There we go, see. But we are married. Yeah. If I was dating someone... Right. And imagine that if that was a thing. Because a lot of, I suppose.

What, do you regard marriage as being locked in and they can't skip? Well, you had to sign a paper, didn't you? But I mean it in the sense of like, you know, when you're going out with someone and there's a certain number of years, there's a certain period of time where you and them feel comfortable where you're like, you meet you're like you meet my parents I meet your parents and it's not necessarily as official as that

it's like come to my house for something something and yeah oh my parents are going to be in my house

do you want to meet them right yeah but then like what stage is the WhatsApp then because my family thing was always two years right okay yeah

how many people how many partners have you had that have been in the family WhatsApp group? Just one? So just one, but that's what I'm saying. So when would the WhatsApp group come into effect? Right, okay. That would be longer, wouldn't it?

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I guess marriage is a pretty good kind of... You're probably going to stay together. That's probably the plan. Yeah. If you're going to invite all those people to the party. That's probably the plan. But uh obviously things have changed over the past week uh vish actually uh agreed to be on this podcast uh when i texted him uh on saturday night

when we were both and i don't mind saying absolutely trollied so what i love about uh modern uh life is that uh people can be contacted any time, day or night. And the best things you can ever do are the things you agree to do when you are pissed. Yes. Is that fair? Yeah, I think that's absolutely fair. So sorry about that. Because I think I saw you.

I think you sent your message quite early on in the evening. And I ended up seeing it quite late. And I think if I... You were like, I'll leave that till later. I can't deal with him right now. And then you were a bit pissed like what does he want right okay cool

I actually wasn't out but I saw the message and I thought I need to get pissed to reply to this message and so it went out yeah no but I saw it

and I was like oh that's interesting and then I read it again when I was pissed because I was like you know I do want to do it but I was a little bit like am I Luke and Pete material

this is what I'm writing about oh you're very much Luke and Pete material. We've seen that from the roundabout. Seven points later, I thought, I absolutely am. Back yourself. The best players back themselves. That's all we're saying. But how has your kind of like restriction easing?

How kind of like the pub, do you still go to the pub outside? Because for me, you're very inspirational on Instagram. It's you and Lauren Robert. You eat well, you drink great wines and so does Lauren Robert. It's you and the footballer Lauren Robert that I respect as influencers for me. There's very few people who I look at the Instagram stories and I sort of go

most people I just go, get fucked I don't care. But you and Lauren Robert I'm very much like, god they're having a lovely life. Yeah, I'm not too good at the kind of black square Instagram activism because it's, you know, largely bollocks. So I thought I'm just going to, if there was a way of purveying gout over social media, that's kind of what I'm going for.

I think that's where my foot hurts. You were making a lovely pork dish last night. I was, yeah, yeah. Although it's, thank god they disappeared after the 24 hours because I think I've made that dish about 10 times

in the last year right and taken a photograph of it every time yeah because it's really good it looks satisfying yeah

it's very easy to make and crucially it's very satisfying to make right okay so you feel like a smug dick and put it on Instagram it looks so hot

but have you sort of enjoyed the restrictions easing? Have you seen anything interesting? Have you sort of spent a lot of time in the pubs? Because I have, bloody hell. Let's make that very clear. So what did I do? I suppose I had dinner with my parents on Tuesday indoors, which was nice.

And then Wednesday, I met some friends for dinner. And that was interesting because it was in central London, a restaurant in Covent Garden and I usually cut it fine in terms of like what time I turn up so it was a reservation

for like 7 and I realised I was getting into central London at 6.40 so I was like oh sweet I might just like

go for a walk so I got off a few stops earlier and walked through central London and I realised what I missed was ambling right and then having that moment where you're like i've got a bit of time to kill

might get a drink well like i suppose because of like where most of my friends live there's always someone out and about in london so i'm to be like, is anyone in London in the next 20 minutes free for exactly one drink? Very specific. Yeah. And it might say a lot about my friends that, you know, that's, I could throw that out there and get a positive response. Oh, that's good.

You've got a wider net than me then, presumably. But presumably you used to be that friend when you were in central London. Oh yeah. Everyone. Cause they knew I lived in, like I lived there. So people would go, Hey Pete, I'm in Soho. Well, no, it's 10pm. I'm in my pants.

I'm just, I'm getting ready for bed. Like, it's not, you might be out, but I live here. For you, this is just a good time. But for me, this is what I call life. It's not enough City High references. No, not enough City High. Whatever happened to those guys? They were great. They're crying all alone on their bedroom floors. it's not enough city high no not enough city high whatever happened to those guys

they were great crying all alone on their bedroom floors did you find then that people used to take advantage of you steady what

do you mean like as in they just sort of it's 2am I know he's here somewhere yeah people who work

for this organisation would fish they'd turn up at like 1am pissed and I'd be like what am I supposed to do here what am I supposed

to do here yeah yeah just give me a bed or a floor but generally oh what to sleep yeah no that's not happened

a lot because after the first few weeks they knew that was never going to happen to be quite frank and I didn't have enough room

to have a bed to be honest or even an inflatable mattress yeah right so small I once locked Luke and most of the ramblers Luke and most of the ramblers

and some most of the ramblers and extraneous members in my flat by accident closed the door forgot and just locked like double locked the door

and just basically locked them in nobody noticed that when I said oh see you later lads I'm going to do my radio show let yourselves out when you can because we're filming something I said

you guys let me out when you can when you want to and I just locked double locked I said, you guys let me out when you can, when you want to, and I just locked, double locked, deadbolted the lock, and they couldn't get out,

and so they were ringing me for like two hours, and I was like doing my radio show, so I had to stick on an extra long Queen song, and Bohemian Rhapsody, and then run back home, and left the house again. You played a song, and then ran and came back?

Oh, I've done that, I used to do that quite a lot. I've forgotten the football kit, and I'm not going to have time to go back. I'll stick a couple of songs on. So the producer's just there? Oh, I didn't have a producer, Vish.

And I sounded like it. Yeah, no. Well, it kind of ties in with his story. There was a guy who, a guy, a train driver in Japan, one of my, obviously, favourite parts of the world. He was driving a train at 150 miles per hour to the Japanese countryside, the Shinkansen train. Yeah, he was disciplined for leaving the controls to pop to the loo.

He just went. He just ran to the loo while he was driving his train. So I imagine trains have like an autopilot feature. You don't. Do they? I mean, I'm fairly certain. They call it a dead man's handle, don't they? The pushy thing.

You've got to hold it down. Or maybe that would be really excruciating if you did it for hours and hours. Yeah, but then also... It's like a cruise control, isn't it? Yeah. You can't really deviate left or right, I suppose. I mean, you're going in a very specific direction,

taking a very specific route to that destination. I wonder if... I mean, if he'd done it for long enough, he'd obviously done it before. I mean, he must have. He just got caught this time. And he would have planned when to do it if there was a particularly straight bit of track

and maybe he goes quickly. Fair play to him. Fair play to him. Well done for pissing. Putting everyone in massive peril. Yeah, but I mean, that is peculiar behaviour, but obviously not the first time. No, I just like to think that he just tied a little weight

to the control and like a little kind of lifting weight, a little kettlebell to it and just sort of ran down the train. I mean, it's the sort of thing you don't want to see on a train, effectively. No, but I do wonder about how much you don't see, for example, on planes. So one of my good mates in Australia is a pilot. And when I was last in Australia in 2018, I was flying from Melbourne to Brisbane and he was flying domestically for Qantas. Right. I was flying from Melbourne to Brisbane and he,

he was flying domestically for Qantas. Right. And that morning he realized that, um, the way it works is it's so Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, you basically do it in a triangle so that you end up back where you started. Right.

Okay. I see. And so he worked out if he swapped shifts with the person he was having his coffee with that morning, he could end up back in Brisbane having flown me from Melbourne to Brisbane. Right, okay. So I didn't know he was going to do this. Well, I like that.

I like that they annoyed the passenger manifest and they are just able to change the situation by going, mate, do you fancy changing the battery over a coffee? Yeah, it was remarkable. He was literally, they were on their way to go to their respective planes. He was like, oh, I'll take that.

How is that allowed? I know, yeah. But the, so he came through. He was always going to pick me up from Brisbane Airport. But then he came through the lobby at Melbourne and gave me a thumbs up, dressed in full like pilot gear and came over to me and I gave him a hug. And it must have looked like something out of like a romantic

film especially with that pick me up and carry me onto the plane but like because we're mates I was like talking

to him oh how you doing he's like yeah yeah good good I'm a bit knackered I've had like eight or nine coffees and I was with

a fellow journalist because it was for a cricket tour who'd obviously never met him before if he wasn't scared of flying he suddenly thought alright hold on so this pilot is buzzing with a fellow journalist because it was for a cricket tour. He'd obviously never met him before. Yeah. If he wasn't scared of flying, he suddenly thought,

hold on, so this pilot is buzzing. The most jitteriest, the absolute jitteriest. I mean, we've all seen the film with Denzel Washington where he has loads of coffee because he got pissed the night before.

So there was that moment where I was like, oh yeah, like I would never get this from a pilot. I would never understand, like obviously, why wouldn't you be like,

you wake up early, you can have a lot of coffee. Yeah. You you're gonna be jittery in your own way and um and yeah and it was only through the eyes of my you know the person i was there flying with he was like god i hope he's all right and he's like oh yeah i'm sure he's fine yeah i'm sure he's absolutely fine oh no it's kind of i mean it's very very similar to my terrible driving test I did last week. We spoke about it on the show before. But yeah, drank too many coffees, got too jittery, made the bad decisions. So look, it could happen.

You could take it out of the sky. You could be dead right now. That's all I'm saying. You could be dead. We're going to hit a short ad break and we're back after this with some emails and stuff. And we're back. And it some emails and stuff and we're back and it's the Luke and Pete show Vish is here

I've been waiting for this what feels like all my life are you familiar with the oeuvre of Luke and Pete show I mean like we mainly do talk about airline pilots Luke will try and talk about space repeatedly and rocks and stuff

and I've got no space is just too vast. It's too... Do you vibe with the very idea of the constant orchestra that is the Milky Way? I mean, yeah, in films. But outside of films, I have no interest, really. I just have no capacity to keep it in my head. It's just not interesting to me.

I don't know why. It should be interesting to me. As soon as they knocked Pluto off from being a planet, I thought, well, it's not for me. It's a movable feast. Yeah. If you just change the rules like that, I'm not interested. They recently reclassified, as said on the Lootin' Pitch show,

they recently reclassified gibbons to major apes, rather than lesser. They used to be called lesser apes, and now they're just apes. So they got a promotion? They got a promotion for doing fuck all. If you can just move that around, that's not fair, is it?

Yeah, not fair. Not fair? What about the monkeys that might want to be, you know, the lemurs are quite unique, I suppose. They're sort of,

you know, out in Madagascar, they should be allowed into the ape world, I think. Also, like, it's just the idea that other people

are making this decision on their behalf. Ask them, what do they want? I'm right, yeah. You'd probably get tax breaks if you were a lesser egg. We've got a few emails about driving tests, because that's something we spoke about last week,

and I tell you what, thank you very much that everyone just got touched, because it certainly makes me feel a lot better about me fucking it up right royally. How was your driving test? Because you're famously the owner uh the owner operator a man who would never leave his control to do a p in a bottle or otherwise uh the um the honda jazz uh you're you're a fully paid up jazz man and uh how was your driving test did you do it in the honda jazz i didn't do it in the honda jazz i did it in a voxel courser right um or an astra it was a voxel and it didn't do it in the Honda Jazz. I did it in a Vauxhall Corsa or an Astra. It was a Vauxhall and it didn't go particularly well. I had to pass it a third attempt.

Right. Okay. That makes me feel better. Yeah. Yeah. How much space were there between the first and second and third? Because the problem I'm having is I literally cannot get a booking for months. I may not see one until October, which is annoying. Yeah, so I was able to tick them off. I think the only break I gave myself was to get over the emotional hit of failing a driving test. So I failed it twice.

I mean, not by much, but you fail it and you fail it. It doesn't really matter by how much. I mean, obviously, if you know you've got a major, don't think, well, okay, okay fuck it and then just go rogue but um the second time i felt it was on my actual birthday oh oh yes oh no yeah that's bad so i i still remember um because the the instructor who i was with or certainly the assessor as it were um

they were i'd love to play poker against them because I could tell halfway through that I was like, they do not approve of what I'm doing out here on the open road. And then he got his clipboard out and stuck my driver's license at the top of the clip to start filling out the paperwork. And I saw him double take at the date of birth and he went, oh no, you failed. Why did he double take at the date of birth because I think he realized that he'd written the day today's day and then he'd gone to written my date of birth right it was like oh I must have misread that I must have put your birthday down as the day and oh right okay

yes and then he you know hey he hadn't told me I'd fail at this point right okay and so he was yeah he he was clearly saying it in his head yeah it's his birthday

it's his fucking birthday oh my god it's your birthday and then but I think my mum's reaction was best she um she picked me up

to take me back she was like how did it go and I was like I failed she was like okay well there's cake at home you could have that any day I suppose yeah I know I was like you can did it go? And I was like, I failed. She was like, okay, well, there's cake at home.

You could have that any day, I suppose, couldn't you? Yeah, I know. I was like, you can't take that away from me. It's my birthday. Yeah, there's cake at home. There was always going to be cake at home, Mom. You're crying out loud. Dad's eating it while he's listening to his music. We got a message from Alex.

Hello, Alex. Hi, guys. Long time listener. First time email. I haven't heard Pete's driving test meltdown. It wasn't a meltdown. I thought I would share some of my stories related to driving test instructors and my own misfortunes. My first driving instructor, a man called Adrian, was, as many driving instructors are, somewhat racist. Are they known to be racist? I don't know. I wouldn't know, I suppose.

Frequently remarking, you do understand English, don't you? Whenever I would say something wrong, probably owing to my Ukraine surname, which is Hashoshin. Under Adrian, I booked my first test. One eye had to cancel the day prior to the test. I broke two fingers in my hand. Sorry, three fingers in my hand playing football. Next text I booked seven months later. Also had to be cancelled as I was due to have surgery on a swollen testicle that day. Busy life.

Busy life, Alex. This is God. we also had one um my third test i actually uh took under the tutorage of a much nicer man i failed due to a speeding violation finally my fourth test one i passed but barely the examiner called my name as i was sat in the waiting room i walked to him and stuck out my hand saying nice to meet you uh this man ignored my hand and simply said, license. We awkwardly made our way to the car as I grew more and more nervous. The examiner did not speak to me other than to bark instructions at me,

no chit-chat or pleasantries at all. Finally, on a winding country road in Wakefield, we became stuck behind a slow-moving tractor. The examiner became more and more visibly angry as I chose not to overtake but sit behind it for 30 minutes. When we arrived back to the test centre, he he simply remarked i don't want to pass you but i guess i have to walked out the vehicle let's hope pete's test is a lot more fun than than alex's i mean just incredible stuff a testicle a broken hand and then a man is just

very very upset uh about not overtaking a tractor would that count as a minor because you're behind a tractor and you're like, well, you know, if I overtake, like, because if you don't overtake for ages, that's like, you're not going to be tested on anything else, are you?

Just, you know, languishing behind a tractor. Unlucky, got to pass me. Didn't do anything wrong. Oh, so you're saying he was kind of like run down the clock tonight. Yeah, definitely.

Taking the ball to the corner. Yeah, exactly. Taking the car behind the tractor. Yeah, because you could kind of orchestrate that you just get a really wide lord one of those like real big trucks that carry houses uh down a winding country lane and they sort of time it so you they know where you're going and just sort of block the block the way all the way that is quite interesting because my my instructor told me to book a test at certain times because they were quieter. Yes. We also went to a driving test centre,

which was around, like, no, it'd be quieter roads. Quieter roads, right, yeah. Than, like, more in central London. So, yeah, that is interesting. But then also, I think, given how nervous people are on their driving test, you can't expect them to pull out in a lane they're never supposed to be in anyway.

Yes, exactly. Just to overtake a track. No, I agree. It's good. It's good planning. Although I like the way that he was quite, you know, quite calm and a little bit shy there, but he did fail the previous one because of a speeding violation. That's probably the only thing that kept him from speeding, a really, really slow tractor.

I mean, to be honest, it kind of fits in two of the little pitch show kind of comedy tropes in that uh this guy just seems like and i presume this guy because he's got testicles um but three fingers in his hand testicles uh all swollen uh due to have surgery on a swollen testicle that day it kind of reminds me a little bit of jim cam because jim jim was on the show a couple of weeks ago and it was a really fun show if you've not had a listen listen to that as well and he uh he's a man who just constantly I wouldn't call him

a hyperchondriac but he does find himself in situations where he has to go to hospital quite a lot and he's gone for like spelks he's gone for like getting a bit of wood

stuck in his hand and falling in a canal just a lot of stuff that people wouldn't generally visit A&E have you got like that many A&E stories because I've

maybe got two in my entire life I mean no I don't really have any. I was trying to think of the most serious injury I've ever had. I did my knee when I was 12, falling down a hill in Switzerland on a ski trip. Okay, right. And I gashed open my knee.

I still have a big scar on my knee, actually. I mean, that is what skiing is, though, isn't it? Falling down a hill. No, but we weren't skiing. We were orienteering at the time oh okay good it was like an after hours where you can't get pissed

which is what people do when they finish skiing yes après ski for you was orienteering yeah it was basically let's lose some kids on a Swiss mountain

but you look back on it now and you realise how much of the things you did on school trips or even in school itself were just because teachers just thought I'll just get them away

yeah so we can get pissed yeah did you ever see a teacher hammered because i did a couple of times on school trips and like mr breathwitz laughing a lot he doesn't usually laugh ever only only in hindsight so they so i would always notice that thursday afternoons would be great fun and obviously because they'd go to the pub on thursday. Yes, okay, yeah, yeah. Likewise on Friday. And that Monday morning was, you had to be on eggshell for specific teachers. And I remember,

oh, this might be, no, I think this is fine. But basically... Just keep it anonymous, it's fine. Yeah, yeah. When we left school, certain teachers would get in touch with us right and we realized that i suppose like how raucous they were in what they were seeking from people who used to be students kind of thing

i mean is that if they are that raucous they would presumably know where to get the raucous outside of asking literal school children surely yeah i. I mean, I just thought I was that good at Latin, but I'm not. But I think it's because you never, you know, I had this with, quite frankly, with Katie, who is a, she must have produced this show at some point. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's in the Stack family.

And we walked past each other after a late ramble thing here. And she was coming back from lunch and we were chatting. And I was like, does this feel like when you bump into a teacher outside of work? And she was like, it does a little bit. I don't know why. But it was,

it's that. And you always assume they're different people. And then slowly as you, I suppose, as you get older, you're like, oh, okay.

Yeah. I would be, I would hate me when I was 12. Now, you're like, oh, okay, yeah. I would hate me when I was 12. Now, I'd understand why you would need to go to the pub on Thursday lunchtime, because I do it now and it's brilliant. And I understand

why you would be so annoyed on a Monday morning that you're coming back and dealing with kids. I think like, yeah, I mean, I think there was, you know, we've got about six or seven employees at Stack now. And they all went on the roof for a drink quite recently, including our very own producer Natalie. Everyone went on the roof. And I was the only kind of like, you know, core owner of the organization who was in that day.

I was like, I'll pop on the roof. I was pot running around the studio fixing it up or whatever. And I pop on the roof. And there was a little bit of a dilemma. I thought you guys don't want me here. So I had one, I had one cannon left and I was like, Oh,

I used to be the, I used to be the youngster who didn't want the boss there. I was like, I mean, they don't care. I don't, I shouldn't care, but I'm just like, Oh,

you'd have more fun if I wasn't there. It's really sad. I've become the grownup. It's rubbish. Yeah. I hate it. You used to be the one that goes quiet and now the one that makes people go quiet.

Exactly. Rubbish. I hate it. But you're not, I would never say you're like that as someone who's also in his 30s. Yeah. But yeah,

I wonder if you're making too much of that. We should get them in here now, put them on the spot. That's what they'd like. Natalie, yes or no, shout! Yeah, see? See, I am embarrassing and all. Oh, well, never mind.

Right, we're going to jump out of here before we get ourselves into any more bother. We'll be back on Thursday. Vish, you going to join us for this Thursday show as well? Yeah, sure, why not? All right, then. Ta-ta. yeah sure why not alright then ta ta this was a Stakhanov production
