Back to the Luke and Pete show.
It's Monday. It's a Monday, the 26th.
At the end of the last show, you said that it would be good if the...
Well, I don't even think you said that it would be good if the world didn't end.
You say, we will see you on Monday if the world hasn't ended.
Maybe the world has ended.
Maybe this is just one part of, you know, Amazon server technology that's still operating
and it's still busting out the Luke and Pete show to.
However, whichever life form, whichever cockroach chooses to listen to, I suppose.
Pete, just decide, yes or no.
We're pre-recording this.
Yes or no, by the time this comes out, has the world ended?
I'm going to say no.
Because I believe in the GOP.
I believe in those, I believe in those senators.
Some of that shit that Trump's been sending is been mental.
It's been mental.
It's been like, like you almost want to get people who support them and go,
Come on.
Come on now.
Look at it.
You keep saying this is just a gambit,
but it just seems like a lot of personal grievance, don't it?
And every other time he's had personal grievance.
I genuinely, and I do mean genuinely,
woke up to that last Sunday morning and thought that was a parody.
Yeah.
Hang on, this has been reported everywhere.
Yeah.
What?
Just to have...
Insane.
Just to be able to sort of...
It was a text message, wasn't it?
And it was kind of...
No, it was a true social post, wouldn't it, to start with?
Oh, no, it might be a text message.
No, I think it was a text message.
And maybe that's why he started, you know, publicising Macron, old sunglasses Macron's text messages.
But, I mean, by the time the show comes out, I mean, things will have moved very, very quickly indeed.
And I will have, no doubt, watched, consumed, eating so much, you know, Midas Touch and the bulwark, just to make myself feel better.
None of it seems to change.
The GOP have no spine.
and they will not...
I couldn't believe the other day
Mike Johnson, the speaker,
he's on G.B. News, wasn't he?
He was addressing the UK Parliament last week.
Yeah, absolutely wild.
preaching from the pulpit
about what should be happening.
It's like, man, you fucking, who do you?
We know who you work for, you fucking view.
You work for that fucking orange fruit cake.
What are you telling us anything?
You are, you are regularly emasculated
by the world's most impotent orange fruitcake.
Don't come into one of the world's oldest and most respected democracies
and start telling us what needs to happen, you fucking moron.
Yeah.
Farage has been quiet, aren't he?
Even though his previous pro-Trumpisms, he sort of kept his head down.
He was probably just packing for Davos.
Probably just packing because he does not do any work that, man.
I love the old guy at Davos that time.
Just pay your tax.
Pay tax.
Yeah.
Life will be better if you just paid.
Why are we having these conversations, but none of you've paid your tax?
Pay your tax.
I saw a great one the other day.
I was cycling back from work the other day,
and I saw a bunch of cyclists, the Lycra types, the Midlife Crisis types.
Look, we're all in midlife crises.
You and I just don't personally have that one.
No.
But they do.
I don't own any, I don't own any Lycra.
Is Lycra still a thing that people would use?
Well, it was with these guys, because they're all wearing a,
they're all wearing Amazon, or,
I'll get this right.
A charity cycle ride
top.
So basically you know when you do like a fun runoff cycle or a cycle?
Yeah, yeah.
They got this top, which is a cycling,
like a cycling top,
which was to commemorate the
2024 or whatever Amazon
charity cycle for NHS staff.
Right.
Okay, yeah.
And Amazon were sponsoring it.
I'll tell you what I'd do a really good job
in funding NHS staff, you know,
paying some corporation tax.
That would,
probably really, that would really swell the coffers.
Yeah, yeah.
So why don't you do that rather than organizing a frankly quite tragic charity cycle race
where other people, by the way, less we forget, other taxpayers can donate charity money
to Amazon or via Amazon to the NHS, which you're probably going to match or whatever.
Well done.
Tell you what, right, just pay the tax.
Yeah.
Maybe you just do it from staff.
Yeah.
Just, well, some of us.
Well, but stack pays.
tax.
Oh,
Stack pays his tax.
It's Pete Dawson's
business,
what Pete Dawson does.
I'm an independent
contract tax.
Yeah.
All of my heroes
never paid any tax,
see, all the wrestlers,
all the wrestlers, all the
footballers,
all the ones who played
in Spain,
they never pay their tax.
They always get in trouble.
Where's he Snipes?
Oh, Snipes.
Snipes wasn't a weird one.
Lauren Hill,
didn't she go to jail for it?
I believe so.
Yeah, she's still on her shit,
isn't she?
She's still on her Axel Rose
turn up three hours
for a gig.
Oh, yeah.
Late for a gig,
vibe.
I was talking to
I don't know if I told you this
she got busted for not paying tax right
it was like on about two million dollars
worth of income
and she ended up going to jail for one reason or another
yeah
and I was talking to my mum about it
because I think I was at my mum's house
and there was one of those top of the pops
you know top of the pop was 9097 or whatever
you know yeah and Fugis were on it and stuff
and Lauren Hills on it and I was just talking about it
and then my mum just went oh yeah I once
chatted to Lauren Hill on the tube.
And I was like, what? And my mum
said that she was on the tube visiting London years
and years ago. And she saw
Lauren Hill. And
she was just like, oh, hello, how you doing?
And apparently, Lauren Hill. And she was very nice.
She was like, yeah, not bad you. Yeah, nice to talk to you.
And then my mum just threw that in there. She'd never mentioned that to me before.
Oh, that's interesting. I mean,
knowing where we are in our kind of podcast careers,
if you can call them that, I mean, we need stories.
We need content. We need
I could ask her some more information about it, probably.
Yeah.
Did she, did she, um, I mean, I guess she's kind of...
Before her tax, it was before her tax imprisonment.
Mm.
I think they've been back doing, um, Fuji's, um, revival concerts, which I found, which
I find very interesting.
But I would say, like, the miseducation of Lauren Hill is a brilliant record.
It is. It is. Yeah. Yeah.
And while, you, you were really into, like, female singer song and writers of stuff
back in the day, so you probably love it, don't you?
Macy Gray, Lauren Hill.
Yeah.
You were so into Macy Gray, weren't you?
Imani Coppola.
Who's that?
I literally don't know who that is.
She did one song,
Legend of a Cowgirl,
which is very good.
It was just kind of like a country,
sort of pop song,
I suppose.
Well, you're just really into that song?
It's really into that song.
I think her album was called Chupa Cabra.
And what was your Macy Gray obsession all about?
That was just the first few weeks of university
sort of hanging out in my bedroom listening to,
what was that sort of big debut?
It was called On How Life is, wasn't it?
On How Life is, yeah.
You just, so hang in a minute.
So let me just get this right.
So you're up at uni for the first time,
De Montfort.
Yeah.
Right?
And you spend the first couple of weeks of uni
because you don't really know anyone.
It's all new.
I get it.
Oh, months.
Months.
Just in your room on your own,
listening to On How Life is by Macy Gray.
While playing the video game,
Carmageddon 2,
which is, again,
all about basically murdering people with your car.
So it's an interesting little...
What a combo?
And eating the food.
I mean, the first month of the university is great,
Because your cupboards are full of food, and you know, you've got all kinds of options.
But once that lawn starts to run out over the months,
it just gets weaker and weaker, doesn't it?
The things that you can kind of pull a levers for.
And what else typified your first couple of months at uni?
I tipped a bottle of TCP in the cupboard.
So my little room smelt like TCP.
Were you in halls?
I was in halls, yeah.
And did you have a shared room?
No, no.
Do we do shared rooms?
I had a shared room.
I had a shared room.
You had a shared room.
Yeah, I did.
With your, uh, interests and constitution.
What are you talking about?
I'm just saying, like just...
He was much weirder than me.
Your personality's too big for a shared room.
Imagine being flowing...
Oh, he found that out, but he was definitely weird than me.
That's proper American.
What did he get up to?
What did you get up to?
He was like, he was a bit of a nerd.
He was really into computers.
Right.
He was fine, really.
Carmageddon?
Can I give him a text?
See if he said to do it.
But the thing was, but the thing
was like it's quite weird looking back on it because like I'm obviously I'm in my mid-40s now
and married and stuff and a parent so it's a completely different like ecosystem but
when I look back on it it it's quite weird to be I knew I was going into a shared room with
someone I'd never met before yeah and it was kind of I'm excited for it these days that's
that's the best worst nightmare stuff I don't want to live next to someone like it's like the
it's like American though isn't it like American people are used to sort of bunking and you know
No, my halls in the first time I went to uni was it was about 12-ish rooms, all with two lads in them.
Was everyone shared then?
Okay, right.
Yeah.
I think there was one room that had three lasses in it, and that was it.
I was basically on it.
Well, the option we had at our uni, mate, there was an option at our union in one of the halls, because it was a complex of different buildings.
And it's actually an old R-A-F site.
Yeah.
So somebody, the halls were all named after old Second World War kind of heroes and stuff.
So one of them was called Lawrence Hall, which was named after T.E. Lawrence.
Ours was McKenna Hall.
I can't remember who it was named after.
But anyway, one of the halls had a dorm where they literally had, I think, between 15 and 20 lads living in it.
Like it was one of those like boot camp barracks.
Nice.
Okay.
Right.
I mean, imagine living in one of them.
That's a different house.
They lived in their first.
A year?
Yeah.
I mean...
At uni?
Yeah, I mean, you would be absolutely gagging for your own place after that, wouldn't you, I suppose.
But yeah, yeah, I mean, having your own room, I didn't realize I was in such, you know, such a...
I mean, I did go to Dumontford.
They've got a trip.
And to be fair, my halls was miles away from the actual university.
So, there was enough, you know, there were enough sort of like pitfalls to...
Was yours catered?
Mine was also catered.
Cated?
Yeah.
I mean, one good, one bad there, isn't it?
I think you could get catering halls.
But, good.
But we got breakfast and dinner every day.
What was your main kind of food groups in the, what was your main?
So you could have like a full-lingish breakfast every day.
Really?
For breakfast.
That's absolutely well.
But that's easy for a cook to cook, isn't it?
It's just like a sort of hotel breakfast, isn't it?
They managed to fuck it up, wouldn't you?
They managed to fuck it up.
It was poor quality.
It was really poor quality.
And then there was also like, like it was pretty hectic our halls.
There was a lot of weed smoking.
So a lot of like,
activity because although the halls were separated out by not mad and female they're on the same site right right so you know there's a lot of shenanigans um i remember i remember like i was briefly dating this girl in one of the other halls um and you'd always see lads that you didn't really know who were dating other girls and you weren't i mean it's mad to think of now but you weren't really supposed to go into other girls rooms and stuff right okay yeah that makes that that doesn't make sense but i don't know how you police that that
Yeah, but the thing is that you're living like cheat by jail with these people every day
and you're sharing like community like food like cafeteria space with them and study room space
with them and there was a there was a common room of like and ultimately they're going to get together.
Yeah.
Right.
So it was there was nothing that I know there was nothing like problematic that went on or whatever.
But at one point there was a big old fight and there was rivalry between the different halls.
At one point one of the guys smashed like a shopping trolley through the window of the other
hall and the police were called all this kind of shit.
Imagine being a police
man or woman and just have to deal with that.
The tedium.
But you are also a police officer in like rural
sorry, so you've probably got nothing else going on, you're a dick.
It's not you're in the match, you know what I mean?
Getting like little, those little yellow
kind of markers for the crime evidence
and stuff and putting them around the glass.
Who did this? Yeah, I mean, that probably didn't happen.
They probably just wanted to make sure
if someone would confess to it and say they could pay the fine
and lose deposit or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
There was no that stuff going on with you now?
No, I think I told you about the campus security I had to.
The university security I had to go down and basically say sorry.
Why?
Because of someone had stolen some, someone had stolen some corn, classic student fair,
but I was accused of burking into a, they'd locked it up because someone had stolen all the corns
and they had to figure out where the corns had come from.
So they locked up the common room as punishment.
And then I, somebody with me, broke into the room.
I got in trouble.
I was caught up and I, and basically I was asked to apologize to the university for what I'd done.
But I may have used words like, this is a Dictat.
Oh, here we go.
Classic stuff.
Recently, with my air level history.
Legalize it.
Legalize it.
I was saying it's a Dic Tac.
It's a Dictat.
It's a, it's a Dictat.
But, you know, I'm being told that I've got to say, sorry for something I didn't do, blah, blah, blah.
And the campus security guard let me go eventually.
But I did think, I did think at one point I was going to get into a bit of trouble there, but I didn't because, let's face it, that crime was pathetic.
Yeah.
So what was in the common room at your uni hall?
It's a can't get a buy lilt.
Well, it wasn't like a pool table and like a football table and a TV and stuff?
No, I don't even think there was a TV.
No, there wasn't a TV, maybe a couple of sofas, but yeah, I don't think it was anything that you could kind of.
Yeah, it wasn't a great little place.
I was very happy to sort of move into...
I'm conscious that I'm making mine sound good.
It wasn't good. It was terrible.
You had breakfast in the morning.
That's good enough, isn't it? That's good enough.
It was quite fun looking back on it, because I had quite a lot of mates there.
It was quite fun, like having dinner together and having breakfast together.
You don't really realise how good you've got it with no responsibilities back in those days.
Oh, exactly.
Full of health, having a right old laugh.
Love my old job.
Brilliant.
Let's take a break.
Let me come back.
I want to talk to you about Brooklyn, Beckham.
Oh, God.
We're back with the...
the Luke and Pete Shaw and Luke we're recording this a few days in advance and Brooklyn
Beckham's had a had a day of it aren't he my goodness me have you seen the Instagram post
I saw the Instagram post yeah it's very it's quite um quite public it's a quite public
flounce people have debunked quite a lot of it already right it's quite a public flounce but it also
seems like it was it all for feels quite tim in that he hasn't really got a lot of
he hasn't got much of an axe to grind.
You don't know what I mean?
There's not really much juice there, one would suggest,
apart from the indication or intermission that his mum ground on him during the first dance,
which sounds funny.
That for me was the highlight.
Yeah, that's the best bit.
I mean, it was, it was, it was, Brooklyn Beckham said that he was waiting for a romantic dance
with his wife, but my, my mother danced very inappropriately on me.
Yeah.
I mean, so what's been, what has been pooped, so to speak?
Is it been that part?
The thing that's been pooped is the dress.
Right.
Okay.
Nice.
Right.
So there was a problem with the dress.
Somebody didn't have enough.
I can't remember that.
The celebrity PR crisis guys were having a great old time of it, though.
They're doing op-eds.
They're doing quotes on everything.
You know, apparently the dress thing has been completely contradicted by several
different sources.
I don't know.
I mean, I suppose ultimately is quite a sad story, isn't it, this whole thing?
Yeah.
And I almost sort of think that once you, I almost think that he's the guy who did like the photography book and then the chefing and stuff.
I do get the feeling that after.
And he's a very tragic character anyway, I think.
Yeah, but after you've kind of, it's difficult to grow up in that, in that world without, you know, going mad.
But I just sort of get the sense that you're kind of, after you've tried a couple of things, you do start to go.
you do start to sort of push at the
push at the very thing that
made your life quite comfortable
just to feel something I suppose
some kind of identity
yeah people are saying
oh well you could have just gone out and done your own thing right
you didn't have to be part of this for so long and now all of a sudden
it doesn't work for you so you're kind of turning heel
but it would be a singularly odd
life
to have right from from birth basically
but I don't know like he doesn't help himself
Brooklyn Becker
because some of the stuff he comes out with,
you know, for two weeks he does, like,
I'm going to be a food guy, you know,
and then he stops that.
And I'm going to be a photographer guy,
and his photography is so bad that he becomes a meme.
But the world kind of indulges him because they'll, you know,
they'll be a magazine.
He's almost the ultimate MAFO baby, isn't he?
Yeah, there'll be a magazine that sort of goes,
oh, all right, then.
You went to this this week, are you?
Come on, come on down and talk about your favorite sandwich or something.
Yeah, but he's parading to food stuff.
I can think of,
and I'm not really someone who actively consumes this.
stuff, but even off top of my head, because they've been everywhere, I can think of the blowtorch
on the toasted sandwich.
I can think of the essentially stone, cold, raw beef joint that he cooked and presented to the
mind.
These are things that he also presented to the public.
It's not like he just tried it and thought, oh, I'm not putting that out.
He's put it out.
And the third one was really well on that kind of food, top jaw type show.
It wasn't top jaw, but it was something like that.
And one of the audience listener or whatever viewer questions was,
who are your three favorite British chefs?
And he could only name one.
And that was Gordon Ramsey chef because Gordon Ramsey's his godfather.
It's like, you obviously not really that big in the...
I'm not big in the food scene, but you are certainly not big in the food seafood.
You can't name a single other British chef.
Yeah, it is difficult.
I mean, I don't know what...
I don't know what you can do realistically as a...
I would sort of almost go the...
Who's the following, not Tom Cruise,
who's the other Tom who's in Hollywood
and he's got a stupid son who speaks in Patois?
Oh, Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks.
Chet Hanks, legend.
Chet Hanks, legend.
Still gets work every one again.
You see him and stuff and you're like,
what's he doing?
He's embarrassed him.
Is he an actor?
He's an actor, isn't he?
Yeah, he's done big.
So Tom Hanks' brother just does
a lot of, like, voiceovers
that are too expensive for,
you know, not enough money on offer for his brother.
So if he needs, like, reshoots and re-records and stuff,
because he's got an identical voice to his brother,
he just spends a lot of time doing, you know, pickups,
you know, the video games, toy story video games and stuff.
ADR, he does all the voices for that, ADR, yeah.
So, that must be an interesting sort of job.
I think that's a nice sort of, like,
it complements your brother's work,
and it also says, I understand that I will be judged whatever I do,
so why don't I just sort of pretend that I'm him?
Do you know what I mean?
Lean into it.
Yeah, lean into it a little bit.
It doesn't make me a lot of money compared to my brother,
but I'm happy with my lot.
Sounded a bit like my brother.
A friend of mine, I won't name him to,
I've probably told a story before,
and named him,
but I'm feeling particularly pompous today,
so I won't name him.
He got invited to a dinner party.
This is a couple years ago.
Yeah.
And the person, he's friends with someone who's got a public profile.
Not massively famous, but, you know, famous-ish,
and done some acting and stuff like that.
And he,
obviously,
because of the dinner party,
he was seven or eight people,
I think been invited and it was,
I think it was for,
for Christmas or something like that.
And he went along with his,
actually,
he went along with his friend
because his friend
didn't have a partner at the time.
So I just tag along, right?
I'll need to bring a plus one,
just come along kind of thing.
Yeah.
Because they lived together.
And he ended up being sat next to Colin Hanks.
Right.
Okay.
And he said he was a good lad.
And they all got pissed.
and towards the end of it he was FaceTime and his dad in LA.
This was in London and his dad and Tom Hanks is on the fucking FaceTime
and they're all like, oh, Tom Hanks, not his brother.
No, Tom Hanks himself.
Tom Hanks himself, right, okay, I see.
Yeah, I can see you, do you be all right, yeah, yeah.
Quite good.
Yeah.
Is Tom Hanks problematic?
He's not as he seems like a good dude, doesn't he?
I think he's, I think everyone gets there, gets served eventually,
but I think he's managed to sort of avoid it so far.
I think, I'll tell you what, who, I've been watching a lot of that Ozarks,
So the main guy out of that, he's obviously been in Hollywood for a long time,
and he's spoken at length about his, how he's made, like Jason Bateman,
how he's made things difficult for people he sort of worked with and stuff.
And it was kind of, it's quite nice to sort of hear somebody go,
I know I'm a nightmare.
I sort of grew up in Hollywood at a time where I probably got a lot more rope.
But is that going, I know that I have.
You were a child actor as well, wasn't he, Pete?
That's what I mean.
He's a child actor.
And then obviously, you know, once, you know, Teen Wolf 3's in the off thing,
you're kind of like, well, I'm kind of done now.
And, you know, you take all hours out.
And he said he used to be a nightmare because he had some sort of expectation
about how he should be treated.
But the world had kind of moved on a little bit.
So I do quite like someone who sort of goes,
oh, you know, I was a dickhead.
The bloke out of Homeland as well, the block who was also in.
This is a little, lovely little sort of trivia thing for,
now, for the bloke was in the Princess.
Brian played the, I think he admitted that he was,
he was a nightmare.
Oh, the older guy?
The older guy, yeah.
Is he called, um,
ah, what's he called?
That's an annoying now.
It's a good one, isn't it?
It's a good one.
Is he called Marty someone?
I don't think so.
It might be actually,
either way, but he's,
he's, oh, he's spoke at length about he.
Oh, Mandy Pettinkin.
Mandy Pettemkin.
Pettemkin?
Petinkin.
Pettinkin.
Yeah.
But yeah, I do like it when people sort of have that
self-awareness sort of go, I know what I was like as a younger man, usually, man.
I also, I also think that in the acting world, I don't act, but I know people who do.
And it's kind of a rarefied place because I think if you are acting like a high-stakes, big budget thing,
you've got to be on it, right?
You've got to be good.
In some cases, people would have been preparing, hundreds of people would have been preparing all day for you to do a take or two.
It's got to be good, right?
Yeah.
And the environment for that probably does need to be like perfect.
I'm not defending some of the problematic behavior, but I do think that like, you know,
I'm just trying to be empathetic and put myself in their position.
And clearly they're only acting, so it's not at the end of the world.
But like if there's a lot of money on the line and there's a lot of pressure and you've
have to play this part and you've got to do it the way that you know he's going to get the best
performance out of you and then someone makes a really fucking stupid basic mistake,
which they should know better for,
I can kind of understand the frustration, I guess, is what I'm saying.
Yeah, I mean, I can understand it.
But I guess it's how you kind of express yourself.
And I think probably you've got to remember that you're on set for a long fucking time.
Like, they insist on you kind of being there for ages.
And as you go through the ranks, I imagine you get to a certain point where people use quite a lot of doubles.
So any of you see the back of the head of, like, the main actor in anything.
Like, that's not their head.
I'm yet to find someone who has the same back of head as I have
so I could become a celebrated double
but yeah it's kind of
Tea bag from prison break
exactly yeah well
I don't know what's happening where I think he might
I think he might have been cancelled
but yeah I think you get to a certain level
and then you get doubles and stuff like hasn't Eddie Murphy
got famous like nine or ten doubles and he barely does
any of his own kind of acting anymore
Tom Cruise does all the
his own shit,
doesn't they?
Everyone's always talking
about that.
Yeah,
and I think
when he has an
impassioned play
during COVID
basically saying,
look, you know,
if you fuck this up,
there'll be a lot of people
out of work, you know,
on this set.
And he's really,
really angry about it and stuff.
But it kind of made sense
because he wanted to keep
the, you know,
the mission impossible wheels,
wheels on the track,
so to speak.
Yeah.
I guess he's like a one-man industry,
isn't he?
Yeah.
Do you know if,
do you know,
anyone know if he still,
Does anyone know if he sends Alex Zane a Christmas cake every year?
I believe he does, yes.
Coconut cake.
I think Dave Berry, who does the breakfast show an absolute,
was in an interview and asked if he could have a cake,
so he got a cake as well.
How many does Tom Cruise say?
I am impressed by Alex having a cake from Tom Cruise every Christmas,
but to be fully impressed, I need to know how many are sent,
because if it's like 10,000, I'm not bothered.
I reckon it's probably about 100.
It's going to be more than 100.
Tom Cruise is sending more than 100 Christmas Christmas
You reckon?
Yes
But it's like
But it's not Christmas
I'll send you a bit of my Christmas
I've still got some Christmas cake that I made
It's a very special specific cake
I know but what is the nature of his relationship
of Alex then?
They're really good friends or something
He's just in English
Alex does very like a lot of his premiere
I think he's a name of it.
Okay fine so they have to reflect the relationship
I'm not I'm not besmirching like his good name
I like Alex
I just want to know the context that's all
I think you got to keep
Yeah but if someone sends you a cake
You got to keep posting about it
You got to tell people you've got it this year
Because Tom's doing it to make it sound like he's a
guy.
Yeah, but I mean, there's still a little bit.
It's the Beckham thing.
Do you know what I mean? I'll pay for the wedding,
but I need you to be in the photographs.
I need you to be part of
Bran Beckham, please.
Yeah. Well, that's what Brooklyn's problem was,
wasn't it? Doesn't want to be part of Brown Beckham anymore.
He's exhausted the Beckham name.
He wants to be Pelt's Beckham now, and he
wants to do his own thing.
But he can't do anything. That's the problem.
That's what I'll be saying about his dad. You can't do anything.
You can't do anything. I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do everything.
you know and I had one thing that I did really well
so find that one thing and do it for crying out loud
what do you think Debeck did really well
really uh really uh chasing after
somebody who's taking the ball off him
uh two foot in him and and getting a free kick
conceding a free kick and then a lot of good crossing
a lot of good sort of like
not loopy but like rangy
I don't even know what you would call it like a long ball
that sort of turns at the last minute.
Lovely stuff.
Straight into Ronaldo's path.
Brilliant.
What was Beckham's knighthood for?
Just badgering.
Just constant,
constant whining about how he should have got a knighthood.
Does that get you into some sort of like party
that you wouldn't normally get into?
Does that kind of like, does that matter?
There was an email leaked on there
when he was really pissed off about not getting one.
Yeah.
Like, why do you care?
You're richer than God.
you have achieved everything
footballer can achieve
apart from like the World Cup and stuff
but like why do you care about
about that?
You got it for services to football
and charity apparently. Presumably
all of the people that that
generationally would matter to are gone
or going. Do you need
do you need the
thumbs up from
well the fat thumbs up from Prince Charles
really? It was long
it was a long time ago when it would have been under the
under the late Queen Elizabeth II
He got it recently, didn't he?
He got it this year.
Did he?
That was his knighthood, yeah.
Because he's been badgered for ages.
That's why it's surprising me to sort of learn
that he's doing it now.
I know he's been,
I know he's been badgering for ages.
I thought he got it a while ago.
Oh, no.
It was November 2035 by King Charles, yeah.
Yeah, Charlesie.
Charlie finally getting,
clearly the queen was the log jam.
She was having none of it.
She's like, look, he's not my,
I don't like the cut of his jib.
I go.
I'll shuffle off this valetiers, Charlie, you can do what you want.
Exactly.
Yeah.
There we go.
All right, Peter.
All right.
I don't have any beef with Beckham.
I have to say that.
No.
I think we all broadly like Beckham.
Yeah.
I would also say that Beckham, according to his own Wikipedia page, is a staunch
monarchist and queued for 12 hours in September 22 to see Queen Elizabeth
the 2nd lying in state at Westminster Hall.
Not like Phil and whatever name is.

of Phil's problems
