I'm Pete Doulton
and I'm joined by
Lukey Moore
and I can only see
roughly 25%
of Luke's
luminance
and ambience
simply because
I am
forgetful
and I forgot
my spectacles
and I'm wearing sunglasses.
You're wearing sunglasses inside?
Indoors, like I'm fucking Lou Reed.
People who don't know you will think that you're pompous and arrogant.
People who do know you will think...
Will think you're pompous and arrogant.
No, they won't, because you're not like that at all.
I'm the arrogant one of the two.
That's why this show works.
Peter, how are you?
Happy Monday, my friend.
Are you into the swing of things in September yet?
No, I think it's disgusting that it's September, to be honest.
I'm absolutely gutted we're in this situation, to be quite frank.
Do you think young people listening to this will think that old people always say stuff like that?
What?
They don't like how quick it's going.
Yeah, but the kids just want to wish everything away, don't they?
Do they?
Yeah, they want to sort of like,
oh, I wish I could count it down to ten.
When I was a kid, one of my really good friends, David,
if you're listening, Dave, hello to you.
David.
Bloody good lad.
He used to always say,
so we used to moan about having to go to school, obviously.
So he would come and knock on me and we'd walk to school together.
And on the way through, we'd pick up my mate Jimmy
he's still my best friend now
because he lived on the road
on the way
and then we would always
talk about
oh I've got to go to school
and I would always say
I wish I was 21
I could go drinking
I could hang out with women
I could do all this great stuff
and my mate Dave
You'd do one of those things
Yeah it's turned out
You did one of those things
Yeah it's turned out
I don't really do either of them
but my mate Dave always used to say no no what you want to do of those things yeah it's turned out you did one of those things yeah it's turned out I don't really do either of them but um
my mate Dave always used to say
no no
what you want to do
is you want to be three again
right
everything
everyone looks after you
everything's great
yeah
do what you want
yeah
you can't do any work
you can just eat food
and watch telly
and play around
but the thing
he was right
no he was right
he was right
but the things you have access to
at three
you're kind of level
it's very samey isn't it access to at three, you're kind of level. It's very samey, isn't it?
You don't care because you're three?
Yeah.
Would you want to go back to three
and know everything you know
and be like one of those weird child prodigies
because you're so clever?
I already was that, mate.
I was actually put in the gifted bit
for the first year of school.
Right, yeah.
You get put up, yeah, yeah, me too.
What, you really?
Yeah.
What about your asthma?
What does that mean?
Well, it means you might
not be able to do as much.
It wasn't like a...
Is that why Gemma
was dating you for a bit?
Because I was...
What?
She was a cradle snatcher.
No, I mean,
was it because you were
very clever?
I've always punched over
my wit when it comes to
how clever I am.
But at my school,
well, I disagree with that, but at my school it wasn't comes to how clever I am. But at my school, well, I disagree with that.
But at my school, it wasn't cool to be clever.
No, no.
But when you're wearing glasses, it's the only route.
You were a really cute kid, though.
I've seen pictures of you as a kid.
You were really cute.
Regularly, our WhatsApp groups will be,
the WhatsApp group picture will be you on the back of an elephant,
or you with a chimp,
or you as just being really cute as a young kid.
I think I probably just looked cute because that elephant
was fucked.
But what I was going
to say to you was
the question is
was Gemma into you
because of your mind?
Well, it wouldn't have
been anything physical
unless I made that
very clear.
So yeah.
Why?
Pigeon chest?
The one thing I don't
have is a pigeon chest.
I'm fucking
in a town. I was actually thinking. I'm fucking titty town.
I was actually
thinking. I'm in
titty town.
Nipple town.
I'm like the rock
I'm going to have to
get him drained
they're so big.
Does he have to do
that? I think men
from his part of the
world I think it's
one of the things
they have a mask
or something over
there. Drained
from what? Just
fluid and stuff.
Oh right. I did
actually think when I
saw you in that T-shirt earlier,
I thought,
he's looking ripped again.
Have you been working out again?
No, I just put an old T-shirt on
that I had when I was slim.
No, but is it the DIY
that's making you beef up?
Very unforgiving on the stomach.
What?
Wiring up a light bulb.
Oh, you did the picket fence?
Did the picket fence, yeah.
God, every time I look at that picket fence,
I go,
it's just,
everything I just,
everything in the house,
I'll just sort of
peel back a little bit of the layer
and just go,
right,
that's.
Stop peeling it back then.
That's what I say.
Every time,
I can see
behind every little fixture
on a wall,
they've always had
two or three goals at it
with raw plugs.
They've always had like
three raw plugs behind any towel rail. You're like, what's behind there? And like, right, there's not they've always had two or three goals at it with raw plugs they've always had like three water plugs behind any towel rail you're like what's behind there and like right
there's about three or four little fucking drills on that wall what have they been doing
practice makes perfect though every every sort of cupboard in the fucking kitchen has a different
kind of screw in there just different gauge different size different length and they've
just brute forced them in
every single fucking time.
You own the house as well, don't you?
Yeah.
It's my responsibility now, isn't it?
Do what you want, baby.
Have you been watching,
complete change of subject,
have you been watching
House of the Dragon?
No.
Is that the,
now is that the,
I presume that's the Game of Thrones one
rather than the Tolkien one.
It's the prequel to Game of Thrones.
It's 170 years before Game of Thrones.
Okay.
It's because it's kind of turned up
and there's not been as much of a fanfare. Is that fair? No, that's not fair. There's before Game of Thrones okay it's because it's kind of turned up and it there's not been as much
of a fanfare
is that fair
no that's not fair
there's been loads of
talk about it
it's not fair
there's a fair amount
of fanfare
fucking Game of Thrones
universe
of course there's been
loads of talk about it
but there's no
but anyway he's really good
who's the big hit isn't it
Paddy Considine
right he's good
Matt Smith
okay he's good
yeah
Rhys Ephans is in it
okay yeah you like that you like what I'm doing with that you like where I'm going with that Okay, he's good. Yeah. Rhys Ephens is in it. Okay, yeah.
You like that?
You like what I'm doing with that?
You like where I'm going with that?
It's got a lot of good people in it.
I've seen two of them in the grouch hall pissed.
Have you really?
They're very much the same kind of man.
Which two?
Not Constantine.
The other two.
Slightly younger men.
Probably lived in Camden for a while.
Loved to party.
But what's your point?
I'm just...
I just...
Yeah. They're very accessible to me. I mean, your point? I'm just, I just, yeah.
They're very accessible to me.
I mean, you don't go to the Grouch anymore, do you?
No, I don't.
Why not?
Because it's full of them.
But you were also a young man being pissed, were you?
I was, yeah.
Anyway, it's a good show.
Wish I was him.
I would recommend it, Peter.
I know you were a fan of Game of Thrones, weren't you?
Yes, I was, yeah. It's Game of Thrones weren't you yes I was yeah
it's kind of like
the last
I think that by the last season
though it was kind of
one of the things
the way you just
had to finish it
yeah
because there's no
I never
I watched the first
season of Better Call Saul
watched The Sopranos
up to about season 3
I think
and at that point
you can kind of
just sort of
give it up a little bit
but
Peaky Blinders
season 3
just went yeah but I I'm feeling it.
But I don't think you can realistically say
you watched The Sopranos up to season three and then stopped
and expect to be taken seriously.
Because it's probably one of the greatest shows ever.
So what the hell are you, what's happening to you at season three
where you're going, yeah, I'm not bothered about this now?
I'm a madman, man.
I think madman's really overrated.
Anyway, Game of Thrones, it's fair to say the final season.
Forget about it.
The final season.
I'm a big gangster.
Forget about it.
Oh, you have seen all of it then.
Yeah.
The final season of Game of Thrones was received very poorly, wasn't it?
Yes.
If you look at the reviews, the aggregate of all the reviews,
season one, 90%, season two, 96%, season three, 96%,
season four, 97%, season five, 93%, season six, 90%. Season 2, 96%. Season 3, 96%. Season 4, 97%.
Season 5, 93%.
Season 6, 94%.
Season 7, 93%.
Eighth and final season,
what do you reckon it got?
70%.
55%, baby.
That is a drop-off.
People are so silly, though, aren't they?
But it was bad, wasn't it?
It was bad, but like...
It was bad for me,
because you spoiled it for me.
I just think I just think
I just think
rendering it something
in the 90s
gives it no room
no
are you saying
that's the best thing
I'm talking about
Game of Thrones Peter
yeah I know
but as in
as in
having it at like
93, 96
oh I thought you were
talking about the 90s
no
I'm just saying
it's kind of like
there's no room
to fucking manoeuvre there
is there
you've got to maintain it
yeah but you're not
telling me that's like
genuinely a 93.
Everything's,
everything's 75,
maximum.
Everything.
I do think you're
on to something there.
I mean,
you've framed it appallingly,
but I think what you mean
is everything's
about brilliant
old shit these days,
right?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I kind of feel,
I'd love someone
to do a study
on what I believe
to be the decline
in three-star reviews
for anything.
Even like critics are bad. You never see a critic give decline in three-star reviews for anything. Even like critics are bad.
You never see a critic give anything a three-star review.
Because they want to make the statement, don't they, I suppose.
Yeah, I suppose you're not really getting anyone to read it, are you?
If you lived in the Game of Thrones universe, like Westeros,
what job would you do?
Is Westeros the entire map with all of the...
Right, okay.
What job would I do?
I'd be one of them slaves
that don't get set free, I reckon.
That'd be just my luck.
Do you know what I thought you'd be?
I think you'd be a blacksmith in the north.
Oh, right, yeah.
Like a blacksmith.
A weedy one.
With a big hog.
Yeah, but I think you'd be a blacksmith
who goes on an adventure.
You've been singled out for greatness.
Yeah. So you're just a humble blacksmith. And that's your refrain throughout the whole adventure. I on an adventure. But you've been singled out for greatness. Yeah.
So you're just a humble blacksmith.
And that's your refrain throughout the whole adventure.
I'm just a blacksmith.
I'm just a blacksmith.
Pete, you shouldn't be out.
If you've got dragon asthma or something,
you can't go out in the forest for too long.
You've got to come back and take your deadly nightshade or something.
You're the finest blacksmith in Westeros.
You find out you're the finest.
But I've lost me fucking anvil.
Where's me fucking anvil?
You're the only
blacksmith that can
work with valerian steel.
So everyone
you just become a
huge part of it
and that's your
that's your genesis
that's your like big
origin story.
And I've got to go
find my anchor.
And then you end up
with some wrong
and stall it.
In the groucho
grabbing Matt Smith
go come on!
You ain't gonna
slay a dragon like this.
I told you I saw
Matt Smith and the bloke
who was in charge of the Swindon lot
from the office meeting for the first time.
Patrick Ballardy?
Patrick Ballardy.
What's he doing now?
Don't know.
Yeah, he's not in Game of Thrones or nothing.
No, I reckon he's done some stuff.
Carry on, what happened?
Does the Doctor Who man do something evil?
Because I think he plays evil way better
than he plays good.
He's a bad guy, I think.
Good.
He's a bad guy.
I like him as a bad guy.
Patrick Ballardy, most recently.
He was in something recently, which I saw him in.
Right.
What was it?
It was...
Oh, he's in Ted Lasso, isn't he?
Oh, is she?
Right.
Is he?
Jesus Christ.
And he was also in that film Rush, was it called?
What was Rush?
That movie about about the
James Hunt and
Nicky Lauda.
Yeah, okay.
He's in that as well.
Right.
I don't know if he's a very big part in it
but anyway.
My partner is very, very fond of
is it?
No, it's not Abby Morgan, is it?
Fiona Button?
Who's that?
Barry Atzmer?
No, that's not him either, is it?
Barry Atzmer?
That's you.
Barry Atzmer.
Nicola Walker. She's watching quite Barry Atzma. Nicola Walker.
She's watching quite a lot of stuff with Nicola Walker in it.
In them.
She was in Spooks back in the day.
But I think she's...
Has she not kind of like massively underpinned
like most dramatic TV shows?
What's her name?
Nicola Walker.
She was in everything.
Endlessly everything.
She's been
she's been sort of like
looking after telly
for the longest time
like she's been in charge
of telly for such a long time
I know she is
yeah
she's in a lot of
cop dramas
she was in the split
with Ben
yeah
do you remember
Ben's playing a lot of shits
on the telly lately
isn't he
it's great
he got
wasn't there an Instagram
he posted on Instagram
about a an Edinburgh Festival comic
calling himself Dr. Brown or something?
Yeah, he was so naughty.
Did something atrocious and he had to come out
and do Ben Hack.
I can't say it.
Not me.
For your fucking start, not me.
Actually, I wouldn't even,
I would love someone to get me wrong.
If a newspaper ran a piece saying I did that and this
and I didn't do it, we're like, fucking, ching-ching, coin it in.
Hello, is that the director of that XFM documentary?
I think you'll find you want me in it now.
Going back, circling back round to that XFM documentary,
is Alex going to be in it?
No, I think it's very much the launch of it
and how counter- cultural and kind of
because XFM sort of started
they made the big plan
and stuff
and obviously they launched
on the day that
Princess Diana died
it's not the prep
you wanted really
it wasn't the day you wanted
but
so when
how long after that
so when did it actually
come into existence
like late 90s was it
yeah
what would it be
97 was that when
oh 97 yeah
when did you come along
2007 I think.
No, you didn't.
Huh?
I started working there in 2004.
You were already there.
Nah.
Yeah.
Nah.
You were, brother.
No, that really doesn't make sense.
2006, I think, maybe.
Okay, so I was working there longer than you?
Yeah.
You were an old hand.
Tell you what,
no one made an impact
in that sales floor like me.
The tease I was making there.
Because wasn't it also created by the guy who used to manage The Cure?
Oh, who was that then?
Oh, there was a couple of like bots kicking around.
Anyway, before we go to the break,
I just wanted to mention in terms of popular culture,
we posted on Twitter your moustache,
which you're kind of still rocking now.
Yeah, yeah.
And we got a lot of response.
A lot of people said you look like the weird neighbour from Friday Night Dinner. Yeah, I've had that a few Yeah, yeah. And we've got a lot of response. A lot of people said you look like the weird neighbour
from Friday Night Dinner.
Yeah, I've had that a few times.
Yeah.
A little picture for you there.
It's not...
Is that what you're going for?
I do like...
You go for Tom Selleck
and you end up looking like
fucking Mark Heap.
I do like that actor.
Yeah, Mark Heap.
He's very funny.
Will you stick with the moustache?
A lot of people are asking
if it's going to be
a long-term thing.
Yeah, I reckon so.
Okay, great.
Fuck it.
Keep tuned in
for Pete's
little hairy worm
on this top lip
let's have a break
when we come back
we're going to do
some of your emails
we've got some good ones
and we cannot
just cannot
keep refusing to read them
so we'll see you in a minute
ok
oh hello
it's Pete Donaldson
and I'm joined by
Luke Merriman
with bloody only good and do'm joined by Luke Merriman with bloody only gonna do the bloody
Oh, Luke and Pete's show.
If this was the novel
William Gibson's Neuromancer
What's that?
What?
Neuromancer?
They invented
Okay.
They invented
Cyberpunk, innit?
Oh, okay, right.
All that shit.
Yeah, okay.
What about it? What would you be? Well, you'd be a I like shit. Yeah, okay. What about it?
What would you be?
What would you be?
I don't understand the question.
A robot boy.
Oh, yeah, I'd be a robot boy.
I'd have a cheese sandwich
with cheese.
It'd be Ram in there.
Could you time travel
in this scenario?
I can't remember the book,
to be honest.
Probably not.
Okay, because if I could time travel,
I'd like to be
like in
what's it called
Quantum Leap
right okay yeah
that'd be good
I'd be like a
neon dentist
and I'd put
wires into
people's teeth
yeah you would
really take advantage
of it because your
personality would be
you would really
take advantage of it
and mine would
just basically be
screaming because
you're scared all the
time
and taking the
time to get
like taking a
hundred years to get really good at a sport and then going back and showing off yeah that's what
i'd do okay probably pull pull like out of all i think sam and constantly does that pull at some
point one of the episodes okay anyway we've got an email it's hello at luke and pete show.com is
the email address and our friend connor has been in touch. And he says, Gents, your discussion around how TikTok is monetized
was timed very well for me
because at the start of the month,
I posted a video I took three years ago
playing Zorb football on a stag do.
I had a whole two followers at the time of posting
and it was my first ever TikTok post.
Wind forward three weeks
and this video now has 13.4 million views.
16,000 people have followed me. And I've joined the TikTok creator fund out of curiosity. Wind forward three weeks and this video now has 13.4 million views. Whoa.
16,000 people have followed me.
Shit.
And I've joined the TikTok creator fund out of curiosity.
I joined it last week after about 12.5 million of those views had already happened.
Yeah.
And so far I am told I have earned a grand total of five pound and three pence.
That's pretty good, isn't it?
How do I follow up?
I just found this an amusing accident, so I might as well make the most of it.
What shall I do?
Any advice?
Here's the video.
It's quite funny but it's not 13.4 million views funny.
I've watched it
and it is fucking brilliant.
We should share it.
He bumps into someone else
and gets sent back
about five times
rather than about five times.
Isn't that just basic?
This is just basic
Zorb football, isn't it?
Yeah, but the impact
is particularly good.
Is it?
I thought that was
pretty standard for me.
Have you ever done
Zorb footballing?
No I'd very much like to
though.
Probably break my head
or something.
I've never done it
but he gets sent back
miles fucking hell.
He gets absolutely nailed
just to put it on
the social media.
So I think what
Connor could do
is he could become
a Zorb football
TikToker.
So all his videos
are about Zorb football.
Oh he's just
constantly just getting
you're gonna have...
You've got to think
of concussion protocols, though.
Because if you're getting
your brain sloshed around...
No, but the beauty of it is
you can't see
who it is in there.
Oh, right.
So just get other people
to do it.
Yeah.
And just post prolifically
over and over again.
Yeah.
And I reckon he could get
his earnings up to
around a tenner.
Whoa, hang on, hang on, hang on.
So it looks like
he's posted it twice. So you've got the 13 hang on. So it looks like he's posted it twice.
So you've got the 13.6 million views one
and then he's posted it again,
trying to get double bubble.
He's got loads of followers
for getting boinged on a zob.
I think he's got, I think he's, I mean, look.
I think he's killing it, mate.
He's got even more views now.
He's got 200,000 that he's added
when he emailed it.
Right. So he's obviously, he doesn't need our help. Oh no, he hasn't doubled it. He's got even more views now. He's got 200,000 that he's added when he emails it. Right.
So he's obviously,
he doesn't need our help.
Oh no, he hasn't doubled it.
It's a different video.
Oh, for fuck's sake, Peter.
Sorry.
It's like a dizzy,
someone's doing a dizzy, really bangs his head.
There's a laddie really,
oh, I don't like,
I don't like to say that.
You don't like to say that
in the game.
So those listening
may not know that Pete
was very close to becoming
a Vine star,
weren't you, Pete?
Yeah, yeah.
It was you and Dapper Laughs,
wasn't it?
Yeah, it was me,
Dapper Laughs,
that bloke who fights, who does boxing with his brother.
What kind of stuff did
Dapper Laughs used to do?
It was just like cheeky, kind of
men's rights stuff, wasn't it?
Oh, come, he used to shout, I don't know.
Oh, good old titch.
Yeah, and what did you
used to do? What? What did you used to do?
The same, but like in a louder voice. No, what did you used to do on Vine? you used to do the same but like in a louder voice
no what did you used to do
on Vine
I can't remember
because you sincerely
think that you would have
been big on Vine
I've never said that
and never thought that
I've told you before
the internet doesn't
like my gyps
why
I'm wholly unsuccessful
in everything
everything I do
I think of something
I do it and I go
it never bangs
but it is good
I think it's good
I think it's too fringe, isn't it?
It's too fringe.
It's not...
Or I don't explain it well enough
and I get frustrated that I've not done it right.
If you had a bit of the Michael McIntyre about you,
do you think you'd be more successful?
I did have an idea for a TikTok.
My one beautiful TikTok.
Tell us about it.
Two years ago, right?
Why don't you tell us about it?
We'll set up a TikTok
and we'll do this exact video
and see how well it does
okay what is it
well I mean
I've been saying
so
I bought one of those
you know those
suction cup
dirty bald men
that you put in the
in the
I don't know what you're talking about
suction cup bald men
that you put in your car
that's got a little bulb
on the end of a pipe
and you squeeze the pipe
and it pulls his pants down and shows a bum do you know those guys i bought one of
them just for this yeah i remember you buying this actually yeah i'm walking i walk past a car
i look in and there's a little man and he goes he shows his bum off right and i'm wearing a
surgical mask and i've got to do this in the next couple of months haven't i realistically
and i pulled out my mask and i've got to do this in the next couple of months haven't I realistically and I pull down my mask and I've got a little bum
I think that would be funny
and every time I go in my office
I see this little man
pulling his pants down
and I go
still not done that
and the pandemic is
on its teeth
it's on its dying
dying day really
it's the
it's the thought process
that's making me laugh
but it was like
it was a good
it's such a COVID era joke
as well
you've got to move quicker
than that
I've got to move quicker
I know
so basically
you see it happen
yeah
it comes back to you
yeah
do you squeeze something as well?
I reckon I just have a bit of fishing wire
that pulls down my thing.
Yeah.
How are you going to manufacture the bum on your mouth?
Yeah, I was just thinking, would I cut his bum off?
Just a little bit of latex, probably.
Get a bit of latex.
But would it look like a bum?
I could do it in a 3D studio, maybe.
Yeah.
No, that's not going to let it down, I think.
Yeah.
I think if you look at all the best creators,
I mean, look at what happened to Stranger Things.
It was all done puppetry, wasn't it? Okay, right, yeah. Yeah, it's going back to it down, I think. Yeah. I think if you look at all the best creators, I mean, look at what happened to Stranger Things. It was all done puppetry, wasn't it?
Okay, right, yeah.
Yeah, it's going back to puppetry these days.
So I could just cut off his bum,
but then I'll have damaged the toy that I didn't want to damage.
We've got to do that.
Right.
Yeah, don't, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Don't damage the bum.
Desecrate the bum.
Desecrate the power bat.
Yeah, because I remember you buying that toy,
and I was like, why have you bought that?
Two housewives ago, yeah.
Yeah, why did you buy it?
And that was specifically why? I think you buying that toy and I was like, why have you bought that? Yeah, why did you buy it?
And that was specifically why.
And an idea for one beautiful TikTok and then I announced my retirement.
So no thanks TikTok partnership program.
Well, listen,
Connor has set the standard.
If we can get up to 13.6 million for that,
I think we'd be very happy indeed.
Well, maybe we can do some water football
and I can just like,
I don't know,
just have really watery poops
and just spray it out
as I flip upside down
TikTok like that?
they can lump it
I mean the thing about that is
it's a lot of
there's a lot of like
there's a lot of like
cyst bursting
videos I watch on YouTube
but the thing about TikTok is
you can
you can be some kind of
rampant
misogynistic racist
yeah
and you'll be on there for ages
but if you shit your pants
in a Zorb you shit your your pants in a Zorb...
You shit your pants once in a Zorb
and you're banned for life.
I know.
You are banned for life.
Would you like to be deplatformed?
Thanks, probably, for the best.
I'd have a lot more free time.
Yeah.
If they would allow me to stop being a voyeur,
because I don't produce a lot of stuff
for social media,
so, like, if they allowed me to just...
If they said,
Pete, you're not welcome,
you're not even welcome
to look at what people are doing.
I think that would be,
I would get a lot more stuff.
The only hour you get off of Reddit is when you're doing this.
And even then,
not always.
Even then,
not always.
I'm always posting.
Are you,
are you,
are you contributing to Reddit?
Uh,
only because,
uh,
we've started doing videos on WrestleMania and Clash of the Titles.
So I've been going into squared circle,
r forward slash squared circle and put them on there.
Sometimes they're treated with on there sometimes they're
treated with respect
sometimes they're just
deleted for no reason
like mods
and also the silly film
do people on the
squared circle subreddit
respect WrestleMe
no
we're completely
it's weird
we're completely
we're heard by a certain
amount of people
but I genuinely
believe in the
product
but it's just
it's really hard to get
people to fucking listen it's just hard to get people to fucking listen.
It's just hard to get people
to listen. Podcasting expert
Pete Donaldson there. Let's do one more
email from Dave. Hello to you Dave. Our friend
Dave's been in touch and the headline for this
email is, it absolutely wasn't
guacamole. It says, hi
gents, Luke's makes potpourri
error. Those of you who don't remember that
a friend of mine used to eat the potpourri
at the Indian restaurant by accident.
Immediately brought me back a memory of around 15 years ago.
My mates and I went to Derby Shopping Centre at Christmas.
You ever been to Derby Shopping Centre, Peter?
No.
You've been to Leicester a lot.
I've been to Derby a lot, but I've not been to the shopping centre.
I've got no business there.
It must have a better name than Derby Shopping Centre. They've always
got really good names. I want to check out what it is.
I reckon it's called something different.
It's called Derbyan.
What? Derbyan. What? Derbyan?
Yeah, look. Derbyan. Derbyan.
Derbyan. Derbyan. Oh.
Yeah. Unless he's talking about
the Meteor Centre.
I'll tell you what, that's two really good names for shopping.
The Meteor Centre. They're trying to sort of do one up on the old Leicester Space Centre. I'll tell you what, that's two really good names for shopping. The Meteor Centre.
They're trying to sort of
do one up on the old
Leicester Space Centre.
Don't you call your penis
the Meteor?
Yes, I do.
Anyway,
Dave says,
one of the group decided
this meant a visit to Lush.
And while we stayed outside
to avoid the overpowering smells,
he ventured in.
However,
as he wandered through the shop
looking at bath bombs,
a woman wandered past towards a central table with different lotions and potions all in bowls.
It seemed to be there for customers to test the smell and texture
or act as some kind of fragrant pick and mix.
He says pick and mix, but I call it pick and mix.
I don't know what he's talking about.
Taking a full spoonful of the green one, she proceeded to eat the whole amount
before realising her error, leaving us outside
half stunned but mostly laughing. She did
not look happy as mistaking its guacamole visual
resemblance for food. Do any other
listeners have food mistake stories in their lockers?
Cheers, Dave.
That's the sort of thing you would do, Peter.
So hang on.
It was a sentence over. Portions
and bowl. Test the smell and texture.
Why did she have a spoon?
Where does she get a spoon?
Was the spoons available?
Do you reckon Dave's made it up?
No, I just think...
Do you reckon he's desecrated the good name
of the Meteor Shopping Centre?
No, he sent in a cool lookalike email before, so...
Oh, so he can't have made it up then?
He can't have made it up.
He's obviously got a lot on.
Oh, no, no, it was Graham, the other one, yeah.
Yeah, I yeah yeah I just
I just don't know
why there'd be a spoon
but maybe it was just a spoon
just to try the smells
maybe she had a spoon
maybe it wasn't a spoon
she just carries a spoon around
you've never known
you need one
it's like that
Kim Jong-un
me where he's like
can I eat this
can I eat this
everything
can I eat this
he's always got
he's always got a spoon
what's the latest with him
you don't hear much
about him these days
I don't know
he's just the latest you heard about him is't hear much about him these days. I don't know.
The latest you heard about him is the fact that when Trump stole all those documents,
causing the national security crisis in the world's biggest Western democracy,
and everyone defended him.
Apparently a lot of it was the letters between him and Kim Jong-un,
and he just wanted to keep them.
Which in a way is quite sweet, and also very tragic for a man who's supposed to be the ultimate
alpha male. Well, I'm not flushing that one down the toilet.
But I don't think you hear as much from
Kim Jong these days. No, there was a wonderful
clip that I'd never seen before and it was
Donald Trump in a room with Kim Jong
and he goes
Is it Donald Trump?
Was it Donald Trump? Yeah, it will have been.
And he goes, oh my goodness
we
are you going to take lots of pictures?
Are you going to make us look really thin?
And Kim Jong-un's just looking absolutely confused
at what's going on.
And I don't think,
I mean, respectfully,
we're not about fat shaming on this show,
least of all me,
for obvious reasons.
But you're not,
I mean, a photograph can't sort that out
for Donald Trump, can it?
And the man's about 20 stone.
Yeah, true.
I find that odd as well because...
How does he eat KFC all day?
It's McDonald's apparently.
McDonald's and KFC.
Yeah, McDonald's.
And I think that he's what?
He must be at least 75 now.
Who?
Donald Trump?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, he's probably one of the few presidents
because he didn't do any fucking work.
He's 76 years old.
He didn't go grey.
Like, really grey during his... Of course he didn't because he didn't fucking... He's 76 one of the few presidents, because he didn't do any fucking work. He's 76 years old. He didn't go grey. Like, really grey.
Of course he didn't, because he didn't fucking...
He's 76 years old.
You want to go on record saying that, do you?
You want to tank this fucking stack company we've got
by saying Donald Trump's hair isn't real.
I think that would do very well for us.
If Donald Trump had a legal attempt at us,
I think it would go very well for us.
But my point is, he's 76.
How is he still so energetic?
I know, so virile.
I'm not sure about that.
But I'm 41
and I find it quite exhausting
just doing all the stuff
I have to do.
Yeah.
So times it by,
I mean, how hard
does Donald Trump,
well, not that hard probably,
but he's always doing stuff.
Yeah.
And he's 76 and fat.
Yeah.
But he's playing a lot of golf,
just dicking about.
But as president,
he didn't do anything, did he?
I mean, he just watched Fox News
for five hours a day.
Played a bit of golf.
Drank Diet Corks and then
played a bit of golf, yeah.
It's not, I mean...
Not a bad life, is it?
Strange Sky News for,
you know, documentaries that I like.
Basically my life.
I suppose I don't really play golf.
Yeah. But, you know but what were we talking about
oh yeah
so you don't hear much from Kim
you're our kind of
far eastern correspondent
am I right
what's the latest with him
not heard out
just keeping his head down
I just think they're in
they're probably still
absolutely covered in
Covid issues
I imagine
I know the Russians
have started
formulating or formalising relations
with North Korea, haven't they?
Bloody hell.
Run out of buddies, haven't they?
The most recent news story around Kim Jong-un is
Kim Jong-un builds eight new mansions
so that assassins will never know where to find them.
What a life.
He's got a weirdly square-shaped kind of hair.
It's astonishing, yes.
It's an astonishing look.
They said he was on the way out
back a couple of years ago
didn't they
yeah
but what I'm interested about
I mean obviously
joking aside
his regime is horrific
and lots and lots of people
have died
directly due to him
but
we should definitely
make that clear
but with his hair
what's the
what's the
what's the fashion reference
points he's going for
uh Guile from Street Fighter 2 it looks a bit like that doesn't it it's probably a flat top kind of military hair? What's the fashion reference points he's going for?
Guile from Street Fighter 2.
It looks a bit
like that,
doesn't it?
It's probably
a flat top
kind of military.
Because he's
Western educated,
right?
Yeah,
yeah.
So it's
interesting.
He probably
read a
Spider-Man,
the boss
from Spider-Man,
the boss
of the
newspaper.
He's got
that kind
of hair,
hasn't he?
Yeah,
he's played
by J.K.
Simmons,
who's also
in Whiplash,
which is
brilliant.
I watched
Whiplash the other day.
So good.
You've seen it?
Yeah.
It's interesting.
Have you watched it again?
Yeah, I've seen it before.
Yeah.
I can't watch things again.
It's classic because Jack from Jack's Happy Hour.
I saw him last week.
Oh, I fucking met Beats and Grinder.
They were in.
Beats and Grinder from People Do Nothing.
Yeah, that's great.
They were both really lovely.
It was so good to meet them.
Anyway, Jack was there
Jack's got a moustache as well
a bit like you

and she really loves
Miles Teller

No, I think he's pretty standard looking.
Yeah?
Pretty standard looking, yeah?
I mean, yeah.
I mean, he's got his top off and he's in Top Gun.
You had your top off earlier.
I didn't think you looked better.

My new moles.
I don't think you could... I mean, he me moles me new moles I don't think you could

is that he's a big hunk of
