See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the Luke and Pete show. My name is Pete Donaldson, one of that contingent. I'm joined by Mr. Luke Mill. You all right, mate? Yo, how's it going? Sweet beans, baby. Sweet beans indeed. Luke, I'm not very well.

Oh, not again. For fuck's sake. I've got some more hurties. What's going on this time? Too many sweet beans? Were the beans a bit sour? Too many sweet beans. I think I left out the beans in the sun or on a radiator,

and now they've necrotised. You're not just in jail, are you? Are you still cooking food on the radiator? When are they going to let you out? So I cooked my prison hooch just a little bit of, a couple of bits of fruit in a in a polythene bag i've actually got a polythene bag full of um full of water it looks very uh interesting so i'm uh carrying around what's that what's that all about baby little freezer bag um full of water which used to be ice for my

elbow i've really hurt my can you see my elbows what's really red yeah it's gone what's happened it's gone really fat um try and do another overhead kick i don't know i was um i did another magical kick but um it's it's gone really big yeah it doesn't look great mate i'll get that checked out if i were you i i bash i must have bashed it on the way on from darts with Lukey Moore a few days ago. Oh, yeah. We'll talk about that in a minute. And it just went really big. But then I had like a fever.

And I've had a fever all day. And I'm rinsed and I've got headaches. So I'm thinking, spider? Could have been bitten by a spider. Could be. I wouldn't rule it out. So basically what's happened is you have been out with me for drinks and dinner. You didn't get back until late.

You had to get up early for work the next day, and you've been wiped out ever since, right? Yeah. What's that about? I mean, it's probably that, isn't it? It's probably being really tired. Tell Dr. Lukey what your other symptoms are. I don't know.

I just feel all flowy and I've got a big elbow. So, well, I'm thinking... Apparently, adders are quite prevalent near my house, so maybe an adder got me. You've not been bitten by an adder. Hang on a minute.

No, it's the death adder. Apparently, adders are quite prevalent near my house. Who's told you that? Who's in a position to be telling you that? A sign told me that. It said it's the only place where poisonous adders live. prevalent near my house. Who's told you that? Who's in a position to be telling you that? A sign told me that. It said it's the only place where poisonous adders live. At your house?

Well, no, not in my house, but near my house. And I'm thinking, well, it can't be weird. It's a bit weird that my elbow's gone absolutely massive and I can't put it that way and I can't straighten it because it's full of fluid. And suddenly I'm also feeling quite flowy. So I think I might have been bitten by an adder Are you suspecting that an adder's crept up on you

slimed and slid up on you while you were sleeping bitten you on the elbow and then left again Either that or a dingo Something's happened Some adders just want to watch the world burn Some adders just want a bite of old Petey Have you spoken to any of your neighbours that you're really good pals with these days

about adder sightings in the area? Any adders kicking around? No, we barely see, we don't see that much action. The hot news about the neighbourhood pub that some of them want to buy, it's already been sold to a brewery. Wow, is that good or bad news? Well, it's a Leon C c brewery so they've got like

their own their own business uh with all all the moves and stuff but they are offering um investment opportunities so here we go so a half-assed version of what the people in my road wanted to do they're you know they're offering i'm like why did why did they do that why did like people take on a business and go oh this is. Do you want an investment opportunity? You didn't have the money in the first place. The only investment opportunity you'll be availing yourself of is going in there, giving them some money, and then giving you some beer in return.

That's how you're going to invest in the business. I think the listening community will be devastated that you passed up the opportunity to at least buy a part share in a pub because really you're only young ones i mean these opportunities are aren't going to come along very often and you always regret the things you don't do rather than the things you do do right yeah but i but i also think that i probably surely there's a fit if you are murdering business surely you have to have like a fit and proper person to, surely you got, surely to take over something with,

like, wouldn't it be good, the way I live my life, wouldn't the people I'm sort of taking over the pub with, wouldn't they want some kind of like medical, that I wasn't going to keel over and pile in, quite early doors? You are not passing that.

I just don't think I'm passing it at this point in my life. You're not passing the fit and proper person test to do a podcast these days. I don't think there's been any occasion from week to week that I've seen you in the recent years where you've not had some kind of ailment. Yeah, I know. But I don't want people to think I'm a hypochondriac. I'm just very susceptible to genuine illness. You know you said hypochondriac there.

What word did you almost say? Because you really wrestled with it in your mouth then oh i don't know probably hypodermic or something like that well i went to uh you know you've been going on at me for what feels like decades about my stomach like you just need to get it sorted out p go get your stomach sorted out i actually booked an appointment with a private health care, the Mayo Healthcare Clinic. Oh, yeah. Off, you know, kind of Portland Place sort of area. And I was like, right, I'm going to finally,

I've had bad guts for like three months to start this year. Is that what you said in the form? Bad guts. Is that the bad guts department, please? General bad guts. I'll find out, you know, let's see. As long as it's just me eating badly and being old I don't have a problem with that

but if it's anything more nefarious let's square that away do you think in the signature of the email reply from the doctor you got did it say his name doctor so and so and in brackets

just say bad guts bad guts expert of the BGs the big D of the BGs when's your big appointment then well I went on Tuesday I attended on Tuesday and turned up

got the wrong day celebrated by they do say the stomach is the second brain so maybe it was affecting you celebrated by eating a load of really hot Korean fried chicken so what are you doing

when you go to the dentist you don't eat a load of chocolate before you go in Korean fried chicken. So... What are you doing? When you go to the dentist, you don't eat a load of chocolate before you go in and not brush your teeth. I went afterwards because I got the wrong day. It was next week or something. I don't think you've got to be

a hugely qualified psychiatrist to understand that you are punishing yourself there. Yeah, I know. For getting the wrong day. No. But then we went on and we played a bit of dartage,

didn't we? Yeah. Me and you, we played some darts i love playing darts and i like to think it's one of my better games but if anyone's watching i mean i'll just follow pieces i'm not a big game player luke i don't yeah so i mean for those listening who aren't aware of all this it's flight club which is like a pub-based darts game where there's lots of different types of skill games you can play with your pals.

It's not like you actually just play darts. It's like dart-themed games, basically. And there were nine of us there, and me and Pete came joint bottom. Me, because I was basically targeted because I am genuinely unpopular in the office, so people just want to see me struggle and fail, which is absolutely understandable.

And you were because you are just a one-man machine of an agent of chaos no one you didn't really know what was going on so you just you disappear for five minutes come back throw some darts then get told you lost and not question it and that was it really yeah um it was i just like the technology behind it all they've got like these kind of so in japan i love playing darts they've got these plastic darts like the america so like americans use plastic darts don't they like they're like plastic tipped rather than i think it's called soft tip darts isn't it or something like that yeah um and in japan they're like darts is so popular but they've got dart machine of dart machine of dart machine and they're all it's all like all in one unit.

You know, you play 5-0-1 or 3-0-1 or whatever, and you throw the darts at the board, and the boards are like really exciting. They light up and they flash and they know what you've scored. And that's the annoying thing about darts. You've got to count up. That's the annoying thing about snooker. You've got to count up and stuff.

It's boring. So this takes everything out of your hands, and that's the only thing about snooker you've got to count up and stuff it's boring so this takes everything out of your hands and that's what flight club does i'm very impressed that it's like an analog to digital kind of system the cameras the three cameras at the top of the screen know exactly where each dart has landed on the board you also film your reaction so you get a little instant replay as well which so when you do something to like celebrate you can see it back on the replay. It's quite interesting. Basically, we played a game there called Killer, where you have to build up your own score.

And once you get a certain score, you can become a killer and knock other people out. Yes. I think we played that game three times. Every single time someone built themselves up to be a killer, they just killed me straight away. So for two of those three games, I didn't even throw a dart. That's how unpopular I was.

I didn't even throw a dart. I just got knocked out straight away but people you know it was the first time I'd met a couple of people who just started

working for Stack and it was it was just nice to see that they got on board very early yeah oh they were they were like

right straight away snap judgement of him he's going down or or if I take him down that will be popular yeah I'll fit in well

with my peers if I do that. Pete, I was going to say to you that since we last chatted on this show, I was in Scotland again. I went to Loch Ness. Oh, bloody hell. Jesus Christ. How did that? It was good.

Any eyes on the long-necked beast? No, there weren't any eyes on the long-necked beast, sadly, because we stayed at a hotel overlooking Loch Ness. It's a hotel called Foyers Lodge. It's absolutely beautiful. I'd recommend anyone. Is that your mate's hotel? It's Phil's hotel. So we went along because they recently reopened in the

spring because they close over the Christmas period and then winter. And it's amazing. Beautiful. If you're in that area, do get yourself to Foyers Lodge. Very, very very much so it's worth it it's very very worth it but anyway it's on the hill over looking lotness so you don't get you get an amazing view over lotness but you don't get to see it that close up unless you really head down to the bottom of the hill um but um it's a cool place and phil i mean i hope you won't mind me speaking on behalf of him because i think he is a listener to the show so hello to you you, Phil, if you're listening.

He is quite a, in his own words, he's cynical about everything, right? And he's almost like built that hotel up from scratch. And him and his wife have done an amazing job on it. And it's a really, really nice guest house now. But he said to me, and I was really surprised to hear this, but he said to me, I said to him as a joke in the little bar area in the Ghost House, I'll be seeing a lot of this monster, yeah. And there's a few other guests staying there, and he told this story.

And I thought, because I know him well, I've known him for like 25 years, and he is like a bit of a joker, but he's also quite cynical. I thought he was just saying this story because the other guests were there, and it's vital for tourism in the area, right? It's okay, yeah. Anyway, later on, I asked him if he was telling the truth, and he said, no, he definitely promises he was just saying this story because the other guests were there and it's vital for tourism in the area right it's okay yeah anyway later on i asked him if he was telling the truth and he said no he definitely probably promises he was and he saw what he saw and i'll tell you the story so he said he was down working outside this workshop which is in between the guest house

and the lock he's got a great view of the lock um it's a beautifully clear day and and and the lock is like a mirror. It's really still. And he's not really paying active attention to the lock because he's working. I think he was chopping wood or doing the kind of thing. You know those people, Pete,

that you and I are intimidated by who are good at practical stuff and they're brilliant at it? Yeah. He's like one of those guys. So if you said to him, see that big tree trunk down there? Do me some favour, mate.

Just chop that up into chunks and make it into firewood for us and split it all down and all that kind of stuff the stuff that like lc can do yeah um he would just be able to do it he wouldn't even ask any questions whereas you and i would be like i think the axe is blunt and i'm also really tired he's not he's not like that right so he's doing that kind of stuff and he said he looked out that he just happened to look down the lock and there's no one else around. There's no boats or anything. It was perfectly still.

He saw what he described as two upturned, dark-colored hulls of boats pop up through the surface with all the recording weight that comes off the side of something that's popped up the surface. Yeah. And it shocked him. He was like, what the fuck is that? He said said it's quite big and so he was with two guys that he worked with they both saw it as well and testified that they saw it he immediately ran back up the hill to get his wife so he she could see it and when she came back um when she came down and when he got back at that it was gone but the wake was still there right yes yeah and he said like really like quite um dramatically affected him because he said

i heard all the rumors i thought it was all bullshit i was like nothing to do with me i thought this is crap not the kind of thing i believe in he's not at all he's a real skeptic generally very straight guy um you know all that good stuff he spent the next few weeks reading up and researching what it could have been because he was so affected by and he said the best explanation he could think of or that he could find was that occasionally trees in storms or whatever will fall into the lock oh right yeah and eventually they'll sink yeah but then what happens is as they rot there's an oxidization chemical reaction yeah which means they can rise up to the surface yeah yeah and then eventually disappear again he said he's personally still

not convinced of that but that's the closest thing to any kind of explanation he can think of and the thing that shocked me was i wasn't being told a story by a mad drunk guy at the end of the bar who just tells everyone a story about everything you You were being told by the most cynical man. Yeah. It's not like a maiden aunt who likes reading horoscopes and wears crystals. It was like what I would call, quote, a normal, right? Telling a story in quite a vividly convincing way,

which gave me pause for thought in the kind of way that when you hear about UFOs, but you're being told it by some kind of RAF pilot, it feels a little bit more believable, know what i mean yeah so i don't know my part of me just thinks that loch ness is so big and so deep that how can you possibly know what's your general attitude towards that kind of thing well look i mean can we rule out a big fucking pair a gigantic promotion i like that i like that for a few reasons well because it's a throwback two because the moment i started telling the story you were clearly sitting there waiting

to say that the very moment i started the story and you were very patient so fair enough i was torn between that and telling the story about him uh getting a i think a secondhand cherry picker and getting stuck high up on the cherry picker which is which i i think can change a man uh true he's been affected by that in a profound way i feel he's definitely the kind of guy who would one day just buy a jcb yeah well you can buy it i'm constantly surprised about what wicks will let me take home i'm just no one you. No one's going to stop me. I buy these huge fucking things for big boys and nobody goes,

hey, are you a big boy or are you an idiot? Yeah, exactly. Or are you an absolute rank amateur? Are you going to be on YouTube trying to figure out what the fuck that all, what's going on here?

And by the way, is that your stomach rumbling? Because Phil's also really into, Phil's got a very aspirational life, right? He lives out in the countryside, got this beautiful guest house that he essentially kind of refurbished himself. And he's got, it's hard work and Phil's got a very aspirational life right he lives out in the countryside got this beautiful guest house that he essentially kind of refurbished himself

and he's got he's hard work and he's you know doing a great job I'm not suggesting he doesn't work really hard but it's a really idyllic place to live and to work

and at the moment he's really into lawns okay yeah managing lawns so like the other day he bought two vintage

really nice quality lawnmowers do you want them vintage or do you want I guess the old school ones would probably last a bit more, a little bit longer. I think the man,

what I admire is I think the man's just a purist. He likes his myths and stories and paranormal stuff going back to the 1930s like a Loch Ness Monster. It's not all this newfangled stuff. He likes his lawn to be cut

by a proper lawnmower, not a fly mower, just a proper lawnmower you've got to respect it yeah respect just to just to finish off this um at my mate phil themed half of the volukin peach show the other thing that he was doing the other day when i was up there is he was getting a little bit worried about a big tree and it getting blown over in a storm yeah yeah and that's And that's the sort of thing I, I think the most satisfying, when was that big storm? Those two big storms.

Oh, Arwen was one of them, right? Arwen, yeah. I can't remember. I sort of had to go out and check, you know, check all the fence panels and the ones that were, you know. What are you doing there? You can't do anything.

I had to brace them for the thing, you know, I put a couple of screws in it, a bit of wood and stuff. And that, I felt like being prepared, just general preparedness, I found very satisfied. I'm protecting my home. Did you make any contribution, do you think? Yeah, no, I reckon it would have been in absolute pieces

because the neighbours all fell over. Talk us through what you actually did. I just took the flight case for a camera I bought off eBay and just kind of jammed it in. it would have been in absolute pieces because the neighbour's wall all fell over. Talk us through what you actually did. Just took the flight case for a camera I bought off eBay and just kind of jammed it in between that and the wall. So you didn't do anything? I did. Protected my property with the camera box.

And also just got a big bit of shit wood kicking around and I screwed it into both sides of the fence panel so it would be reinforced. was very satisfying i feel was making calculations about the way the wind normally blows where the storms normally come from standing on the roots to see if there's any movement doing the measurement it was all sorts going on all sorts whereas i wouldn't have been able to do any of that but um it was it was kind of it was a really nice weekend i loved going up

there it's a beautiful part of the world my wife and i had access to and myself went for a nice walk or two played a bit of golf in the valley it was great it was fantastic no golf the thing against me is um men of a certain age get to just go away for golfing holidays for like a week and i'm and i'm thinking that's the only way i'm going to be able to do that in the future. Because I love my lads' holidays, Luke. But I think I'm going to have to learn to play golf, aren't I? To get one later on in life. I can't just kind of...

Yeah, because I think, yeah, if you get to a certain age, what's the actual reason for you to be somewhere you're going to be? Because if you're just going as a 55-year-old man with a couple of mates to a city, it starts to look a bit perverted. Why does it start to look a bit perverted? You just need a golf bag over your head. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. So I'm going to need to learn how to play golf. So you actually know how to pick up the right stick, give it a swing and whack it down the fairway then? I didn't say that. What? You said you had... I said i went to play golf right i didn't say any of that stuff um well no because i mean to an extent i suppose yes in the theory and how it works and how to do it but i'm not very good at it but it doesn't matter because i mean it was so isolated that it's hardly anyone

there yeah it was mimi and i and we just had a little wander around. Mimi's quite good, so she can hit the ball pretty well. Yeah. For that reason, we didn't keep score. And then we just had a bit of fun. It's like, you know, it's just a way of being outside for an afternoon and having a bit of fun. There's no, I don't think, that's one of the big, I think one of the big myths about golf.

And for people who don't play golf, which I would consider myself one of them, but I know enough about it to know that actually you assume that everyone's good and knows what they're doing because whenever you watch golf on tv it's brilliant most people aren't very good at golf yeah so i wouldn't worry too much about it um just have fun that's my listen whatever you do have a bit of fun a bit of fun i i was talking was talking to Andy Brassel about this on the Ramble On. And he talked about like growing up and playing football around the estates and stuff. And he was saying that he appreciates someone who keeps score.

And I do as well. I don't care how bad I'm doing. And I think, remember you were reading that golf book. And I was in that golf book as the world's worst golfer that time. Oh, it was amazing. Yeah, man. I find that like I don't mind how badly I'm doing as long as someone's keeping a score. There's something very honest

and I get a lot more out of sport when my failures can be quantifiable, if you know what I mean. It gives a little bit of purpose. So if nobody really keeps scoring a match, that's why I appreciate the flight club thing. Everything's kind of automatic and stuff. When people start going,

oh, it doesn't matter. I go, well, it does matter. I'm not competitive. You know I'm not competitive. I can't stand competition. But I just like to know how badly I'm doing. I am comfortable with how badly I'm doing. I just want the people who can exceed everyone's expectations to

enjoy themselves, I suppose. My kind of takeaway from flight club with you that the takeaways i have of you are as follows you're not only comfortable losing you're happier losing um you spent a lot of your time i could see because i know you well you spent a lot of your time quite clearly just thinking about the tech behind it yeah how it worked and yeah like doing that thing you do where you focus and like concentrate on something in the distance looking at trying to work it out yeah and then the other part of the time you were just going to the bar

getting beers for everyone all the time yeah because that's kind of your style i think i'm i think i'm the complete player to be honest that is all about drinking anyway and the thing is that all that being the case you still did no worse than me who was taking it kind of relatively seriously so what does that what does that say i also you'd be unsurprising that i think i'm quite good at darts even though i've got no evidence to support that i used to have a dartboard in my garden when i was a kid right okay yeah i mean people were playing fast and loose where people were standing and stuff people getting very close to the to the board i seem to recall i'm not sure i endorse that kind of behavior no it's true when i was younger pete what happened was i think my dad and my uncle um played in the dark were they all the i don't know if you know this i don't know if it's the

same way you grew up but like back in the day where i grew up all the moms and dads played in darts teams all right no not really no and so they all took it fairly seriously it's like it'd be like a pub league right yeah okay and i I think my dad or my uncle's local, they replaced it up with a new one. And my old man was like, oh, can I have the old one? And they said, yeah, if you want. And then my dad took it, brought it home, and stuck it on the wall of our extension.

Yeah. And we just chalk marked a little kind of place to throw from and just played. Do you remember those um those kids uh dartboards that were not cork or however they make them or rubber um they were like um oh it was tightly wound paper yes like a roll of it like i was i used to have one of them and it's like why do like i mean i presume there's very good reasons why they don't use them in in in professional competition but is that like a really old school way of doing dart boards it just seems needlessly over complicated it feels like it

feels like it might be an environmentally friendly way of doing it oh yeah probably yeah yeah i'm definitely going to get one of those japanese uh those japanese ones in the future they just bang them on the wall and you can just plug them into a television and it does everything that the original japanese kind of set ups do but just a hell of a lot cheaper I think you can add that

to the list of things that looks easy but is hard snooker yeah telling a funny joke yeah and spotting a lot

in this monster all those things are a lot harder than you think staying in a committed relationship is there something you want to tell me?

More importantly, is there something the partner you have access to wants to tell us? Yeah, exactly. Let's have a break, Pete. When we come back, we've got to do batteries because it's a Thursday.

We don't have to, but we'll do it. We do have to. It's part of the rules, man. It's chaotic otherwise. All right. See you in a bit. All right, we're back.

Pete Dawson with you with a big fat elbow. Luke, what's wrong with your body? Oh, how long have you got? How long have you got? So I've got an issue with my left knee at the moment. Right.

Which came from... So you know Laura Kirk of Berkhamstead Revisited fame? Yeah. So... She's been attacking you with that baseball bat. she's like leave me alone no she lives quite near me and um we i see afghan fairly semi-regularly anyway um she's like i'll

come to this um come to this um personal training thing i do so i did this is september last year i might have talked about at the time it sounds like it's cast a long shadow yeah i really hurt my knee because i'm just a complete idiot i just shouldn't have done it but i did it anyway and it's caused a problem ever since yeah and what happened was interestingly the knee was weakened because i hurt my ankle in the summer before and it made me walk slightly differently which made my knee weak right and that fucked that and then um i played football again with vish um although vish didn't actually turn up um i played with vicious pals and i really aggravated my knee again so the knees are problem i think that's starting to make the right knee a bit of a problem

right but other than that i'm kind of okay other than i think a lot of my knee problems will be sorted out if i wasn't quite so heavy i I think. So, does that answer your question? I mean, I'm fuming that I didn't get an invite to the football. Fuming I am, fuming. No, it's just his regular Friday night thing he does with his mates. And I think I was on the Ramble that day or the day

before or something. He was like, oh, we need people. I said, oh, I'm definitely up for it. But they haven't invited me back, which is absolutely fine because I can't even... Yeah. What was Vish's excuse to not turn up? I don't know.

I think he was just busy or something. Yeah. You sometimes forget that Vish has got a proper job, right? Some of the people in the stack who do shows also have other jobs. Yeah, like Vish, he'll sort of like, he'll tweet or he'll post on Instagram that he's, you know, post on Instagram that he's you know

he's he's getting distracted by you know television or the YouTube or whatever and it's like you can't get that distracted

not like I can get distracted for like three hours on YouTube I bet Vish gets distracted for like five minutes on YouTube and then he's like

oh what a waste of time if someone gets if someone gets distracted on the internet for five minutes and it's video based you know what they're doing um pete um three and a half choose your videos correctly um yes let's do some batteries batteries batteries batteries that's what we're all about how do people send them in pete what's the email oh they send them in very very easily it's hello

at luke and pete short.com uh one of the few emails on Stacks Output that has hello in it, which always confuses me when I do Wrestle.me. But yes, hello at lucanpeachshow.com. Get your batteries in. If you found a battery in, a little bit of consumer electronic, a little remote control or whatever you've got, a kid's toy, a dildo, whatever.

Just pull them out. See if they've got an interesting name, take a picture, send them in. Bryce has come in, has got in touch, it's with a new leader. Oh,

fuck off, Bryce. New leader. Next. Bryce. Definitely not. Yeah, Bryce from Texas,

we're not all crazy, says Bryce. First battery-barrelled submission, found in the bottom of some remote-controlled football robots. Bryce, you're not getting that. New leader, we've had quite a few times,

though it does sound a little bit like a cult. I'm not even going to search for it. There's no point. Bryce, with respect to you, you say you're not all crazy. Imagine if they were. That is a crazy claim by you at this point in the preceding sending. So if you go to hellotterlypitcher.com, if you go to the mailbox later on, Luke,

and you find that it is actually a new player, will you resign, Minister? Will you resign? Will you resign? Say, will you resign? I'll search is actually a new player, will you resign, Minister? Will you resign? Will you resign? Say, will you resign? Minister, will you resign? I will tell you right now that all I'll say is this, right?

The search parameters are limited to 50, and after that it just says 1 to 50 of many. Right. That's how many people have sent new leader batteries into this email address. You literally are one step away from sending EnduraCell. There's nothing more I can do.

So I would definitely resign if I was wrong on that. Right. I'm not wrong. Next. Next. Okay. All right. Next.

Brian has sent in some tesla silver uh double a's uh evening chaps i was in the local post office here in south australia when i aspired at the attached batteries who knew tesla's ran on double a's though i imagine the new cyber truck or one of those will need one of those pp3s or even a bank of Ds. Keep up the good work. Future generations of battery historians will thank you, Brian. Any news, any sniff of a Tesla Silver? From the ridiculous right back to the sublime, baby. A new player has entered the game. I love the photo.

I love the branding. I love the submission. Welcome to the club, Brian. Brian, Tesla Silver plus double A's. Congratulations, Brian. Right right moving on to our last uh submission bateria ultra prima comes from anna hi look at pete i was delighted to hear pete's appreciation for uh czechoslovakian stamp glue i used to love to lick stamps too when i was a child they actually taste most of animal glue and maybe some sugar i searched some czech uh philatelist

forums and found a recipe it's mainly made of starch and animal glue and maybe some sugar. I searched some Czech philatelist forums and found a recipe. It's mainly made of starch and animal glue. Anna, that is going above and beyond, but feel free to come round to my barbecue where we're going to have Doritos dipped in Czechoslovakian stamp glue. Fantastic. Yeah, while searching for something in drawers at our cottage, I found this battery I've never seen before,

Bateria Ultra Prima, made in Slaney in the Czech Republic. Even though it's supposedly a Czech battery, the name is some kind of fake Latin or Italian and just sounds ridiculous to the Czech ear. I would love to see the meeting where they were deciding the name. Keep the good work, Anna. Any news on Bateria Ultra Prima? Another new player

congratulations to you beautiful Anna thanks for researching the old stamps but Pete on that note

so that's two out of three by the way yeah not a bad week at all maybe Anna can answer this question if you can't Pete and I suspect

respectfully you can't is that you know that the Czech Republic rebranded its name to Chechia? Chechia, yeah. Now, is it me, or I wouldn't consider myself an extra brand or anything.

Is it me, or has the whole world just ignored it? Yeah, yeah. It's Andrew Cole. It's people going, yep, well that's not going to fit in the Andy Cole, Andy Cole scored a goal, Andy Cole thing, is it? Yeah. It doesn't work. So Che to fit in the Andy Cole Andy Cole scored a goal Andy Andy Cole thing is it so it doesn't work so Chechnya are the Andy Cole of Europe

yeah exactly why have they done it A and B why won't people give them the courtesy of letting them name their own country I'd love to know Anna if you are a Chechnyan native but that sounds like Chechnya which is confusing but anyway if you're a Czech native, let us know.

Now, is it Chekia? Chekia or Chekia? I don't know because the brand just hasn't taken off, mate. I'd love to know from Anna or from anyone listening who's familiar with the area, what's going on with that. Because it seemed to be, I read about it at the time because I found it interesting. And it looked like there was some kind of referendum. And the people voted for that name.

And the whole international community just went, ah, get fucked. We can't be asked to learn another new one. Chechy McChechfess, they should have called it. Because, you know, also, on this note, I walked past a, what's it called, an embassy in London about two or three weeks ago. And it was kind of tucked away a little bit near Victoria. Yeah. And it was for a country called Eswatini. Yes. E-S-W-A-T-I-N-I, right? Now, I had no idea that that is now the new

or relatively new kind of, you know, authentic indigenous name for Swaziland, which I guess was a colony and was named by British people and they wanted to change it. Obviously, good luck to them. But I never even knew that happened. I had that in a... Someone was emailing on the Football Ramble

from Eswatini and I was like, what the fuck? And I'm terrible. When AFCON comes around, I'm like, what the fuck? What?

What's that island? I'm a little bit... I am disgraced. To be fair, when the Premier League comes around, you're a bit like that stoke um but uh yeah and i was i was the same i was like where the hell is this uh eswatini i was calling it i think and uh yes the home of um richard e grant well listen changed in april of 2018 from swahili land Eswatina. I hope I'm pronouncing that right.

It's very interesting. Very rarely, that's a lie, I do this all the time, do I stop and get my phone out on Wikipedia or something and go, oh, right, interesting. I had no idea. But anyway, Chechia, Chechia, whatever it's called, let us know. I'd love to know the interesting thing about that. The difference between me and you is, Luke,

that that information just leaves my head almost immediately. I have no use for it anymore. And yeah, with you, you return that information when you look on google or wikipedia that's not that's not entirely true i think compared to you i probably am a little bit more proficient at it but that's not saying much given that we went for dinner the other night yeah and every story you told you started with a describing question to me like i was your care worker yeah i mean that's only going to get worse or better you wanted to yeah you wanted to tell a story to the table about say um the national lottery and then you before you started the story they can't preface

preface where you just go to me the big hand it could be you the money you give them the money sometimes you get it back it goes to charity charity. Oh, the National Lottery. Yes, you guys, listen to this story about the National Lottery. It happened every single story you told. Yeah, I love it. People will be refreshed to hear that it's not just on this show that you do that. I'm like a human wordle. That's why people find me so delightful, because I'm just like, I'm testing them constantly, their memories.

You can't use words longer than five letters long. Exactly, exactly. Right, I I mean we've mashed out quite a lot of show there we'll be back with some of your emails I realise this week's
