it's monday and that means several millions of things it means millions of things but in our little part of the internet it means the luke and pete show's happening hello my name is pete donaldson i am 39 years old uh i'm 40 next month and i'm very much looking forward to having a little beer in the beer garden all by myself zippy uh look me was also with me as well I don't know how old Luke is or even how old he's going to be in April but could be anything couldn't it 45 I'm already 40 I'll be the same in April uh nothing to see here and what and a very a very warm uh welcome and hello to our listeners and to you Peter and you mentioned that our little corner of the internet.

I wonder what our little part or corner of the internet actually looks like. It's on the bad server. It's on the bad server with 4chan and Xvideos. I think there's loads of different computer parts on the floor in the corner. Yeah, yeah. With you kind of hunched over it. Genuinely, last week uh i was trying to fix a bit of studio equipment or at least upgrade it anyway and i took a bit of it

home uh to see to see if i could um make it work on my machine because it wasn't sort of operating very well on ours um and i'd taken some i had bits of computer everywhere i had wires everywhere the the office that i work in wasn't particularly tidy and i had one of computer everywhere. I had wires everywhere. The office that I work in wasn't particularly tidy. And I had one of those genuine, I don't know what, I mean, the way I address it suggests that I definitely do know the inside of a breakdown, but I never sort of felt genuinely that it was getting on, things were getting on top of me to this degree. And I genuinely thought, this, you are disgusting.

The way you live your life is disgusting. And I looked around and- It was a straw that broke the camel's back. Honestly, I never get like that because I'm a pig, I'm a slob. I don't mind mess, but I was genuinely surrounded by HMI cables and bits of computer parts. And I was like, hey, this is enough. This has to stop somehow.

This has to stop, Donaldson. You've adopted the darkness there. You weren't born in it and it's come has to stop somehow. This has to stop, Donaldson. You've adopted the darkness there. You weren't born in it, and it's come back to bite you. So describe the scene. Describe the scene. Describe how you reacted to it. 15-meter HDMI cables, bits of what you would describe as a gaming production computer all over the place.

There's graphics cards on the floor. There's bits of i mean i still find little screws floating around now little cable screws that hold in were you in the garage bits of no i was in this room i was in this very room and i just i genuinely had a bit of a bit of an episode what does your good lady partner think about it um i yeah she she didn't notice any different she didn't even notice the difference to be honest but i i just got too much and like i've i've i don't know i don't know whether this is me approaching my 40s or what but i had i was uh up at 12 o'clock last night or this morning

um i had to be in for the ramble and i gotta get up half six seven for that um but i was still up at midnight uh because i had decided uh i was getting annoyed by my fridge so i was reversing the door so it opens from the left to the right rather than right the left and and that was a job that i thought was going to take five minutes and took half an hour and i and i knew i had to be up early so if my performance on this show isn't my very very low watermark that i usually bring to the show. I don't think people are going to notice me. It's because I was up very, very late trying to reverse the door on a fridge. It's reversed now, though.

But all it does is it means that I'll go to the side of the door I think it's going to be on the right-hand side, and then I'll give it a good couple of tugs and then have to go on the left-hand side. So I've mugged myself off there. I think first and foremost, you know, there are many people listening to this show, and myself included in this bracket, by the way,

who wouldn't be able to change the door in a fridge. So kudos for you for that. I think if I went anywhere near the fridge with the intention of doing that, my wife would rugby tackle me to the ground and stop me, and rightly so, and she'd be in the right there. But secondly, this is kind of reminding me of a very sort of pandemic-related, domesticated version of the Russell Crowe vehicle, A Beautiful Mind,

where he descends into madness because of equations and all the different things that he's thinking about in his head, and he starts to think, you know, the CIA at the bottom of his garden and all that kind of stuff. I mean, if it wouldn't be too offensive, I would probably call your version of him a crap mind. Yeah. But you are essentially experiencing the same thing

as the great John Nash. Is that fair? Yeah, a beautiful, itched in my cable mind. And you've grown your hair long as well at the moment. You're kind of a Piers Corbin, actually, I think. Piers Corbin? Where's that come from? I'll take that.

He's quite handsome, isn't he? Quite good looking. No, you're thinking of someone else. Piers Corbin is Jeremy Corbin's brother. Oh, no. I thought you meant his son. His son's a bit of a spunk. Never mind.

Is he? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, give him a little Google. If Piers Corbin was interested in the samurai, you'd be Piers Cooper. Can I get away with that as a ponytail? No. Because lads have quite short ponytails.

I just need... Because I've seen Matthew Wright on the television. He's got like a Bobby Baggio, a Bobby Baggio, complete normal haircut, slight mullet, but then at the end it turns into a weird rat's tail. It's fantastic. I don't know what he's doing.

He's lost his damn mind. The best thing that happened on matthew wright show um is that there was that broke who just used it as a vehicle to start a slagging off his ex-wife yeah and and and i think we may have played out parts of it but it was it was i mean we let's let's not go into the details on International Women's Day, but he was being... I don't think he was criticising women in general. It was a man who was just taking a piss out of his ex-wife. But it's the canary in the mine of horrible men, isn't it, really? It's indicative of... What, your ponytail? What?

It is, yeah. I agree. All that business. I am definitely the canary in the mind when it comes to men men's men's issues um yeah he he uh the man was kept on ringing up matthew right and slagging off his wife he would pretend that he was coming on the show and the auspices of wanting to talk about i don't know climate change or something and then in the middle of it he go sharon's up yeah and i forgot his wife but the that wouldn't be interesting except the fact

that he managed to get on twice at the same time as himself effectively. I think it was three times. Yeah, he had one phone on the go, got on with a producer, clearly put on a different voice for the second producer and managed to get on live twice at the same time. It was an astonishing bit of work. It was kind of like a daytime TV version of Escape from Alcatraz.

It was fantastic. The actual feat itself, very impressive. Wonderful. They shouldn't have done those crimes beforehand. Pete, I'm happy to put this out to the listenership. As we know, Nat does an excellent job on the social media of kind of canvassing our listenership's opinions. And let's be absolutely fair, by the way.

Based on the correspondence we receive from our listeners via email or social media or whatever, they are a pretty switched-on bunch. I mean, so we could ask them if a man approaching 40 should have a mini ponytail. Yeah, but look, I already do loads of stuff that is unbecoming of a man approaching 40 i just think any man can any man get away with a ponytail i that's all i need the problem is my hair is too long i've got a mullet going i'm not really sure which direction

to go i'd just like a little bit of time to decide all right i just want a bit of time so we all need i think i think can any man get away with a ponytail? I would say that, you know, Matthew McConaughey could get away with a ponytail, I reckon. Yeah, but famous people are iconic by their very nature. You see someone often enough, Mr. Tumble is iconic, but he's still a man dressed as a clown at 50. So, like, it's, you know, if you are well-known,

you are allowed to get away with loads of stuff. I'm not well-known, you're not well-known, we can't get away with it. Alright? Mr. Tomboy is a man dressed as a clown at 50, and you are a man dressed as a clown at 39. I'll take it. Don't mind. Don't mind

it. I only really publicly slate your appearance, Peter, as many lists as well worked out by now just to cover my own insecurities because you are a brave dresser you are a inspirational dresser when it comes to formal wear you do do things in a slightly different way i think most people that encounter you respect it um because you're thin and have got that profile you can get away with that type of stuff, good for you, mate. You break every rule you want.

I don't mind. I'm on board with it. But hair is your forte and you won't have a ponytail in this parish. As you famously said, mine just grows out like a badly stuffed sofa. That's all it does. It doesn't really grow long. It just grows out. So I'm in need of a haircut.

Out of desperation, I actually emailed the local place I go to and said, listen, pal, are you taking bookings or what? Because I need to get this sorted out. And he replied saying, not at the moment, I'm afraid, but I'll let you know. I'll email you back. So I've got no immediate prospect of getting some kind of, you know, what's it called?

Recourse to sorting this barnet out. So I'm in the same boat as you. I'm also wearing a shacket today, Pete. Oh, I like a shacket. Big fan of that. But I just like the idea. I mean, is this what you're going to be wearing for your London mayoral bid?

Oh, fucking hell. Why don't you just dick off that guy? Why is there a man who is essentially a men's rights activist, basically a problematic subreddit in human form that looks like me but more successful than me and now he's embarrassed himself and is no longer successful and it's a continual thorn in my side.

Look, I've said before, it looks like you if you were halfway into turning into a mouse. He's even slimmer than me, actually, which is also frustrating. He's got an extremely thin head. It's very interesting. But have you seen the video of him strolling around an abandoned restaurant in his mayoral video? I don't know what he's broken his foot or something, but he looks... We're talking about Lawrence Fox, by the way.

Lawrence Fox, sorry. but his he looks we're talking about Lawrence Fox by the way Lawrence Fox sorry Lawrence Fox is going it's always the last

the last kind of last bastion last stand of of an absolute scoundrel going for London Mayor everybody gets up to it don't they anyone who's got

a little bit of profile thinks they can do it but it's actually a lot more difficult than you sort of realise what would you do on day one I would pour gelatin

into the Thames and we'd have a big old bounce be lovely old job still less ridiculous than the Garden Bridge I forgot about the Garden Bridge

is that happening are we having that no 50 million down the drain good what have they done 50 million presumably

it's taxpayers money as well which makes it even worse were they going to spend 250... Is it 250 million or something? It can't be 250 million. 250,000 on improvements to 10 Downing Street, apparently. That's an amazing bit of work, isn't it?

How big is 10 Downing Street, though? I reckon it's chunky. Can you imagine all the shit that's in the walls and the secret tunnels and stuff? Exciting. Exciting. I don't know if that's true, is it? Is there really going to be secret tunnels everywhere?

Yeah, a little alcove or something you can hide in, in case of bother. That's not as impressive. Did I tell you that when I went to Buckingham Palace that there's a fake fireplace where the Queen emerges from? Did I tell you that? Yeah. No.

So basically, I went to Buckingham Palace because they opened some of the staterooms summer before last. They took some of our American relatives there because they're into it. And to be fair, it was quite good because Buckingham Palace has got an amazing art collection in some of these rooms relatives there because they're into it and and to be fair it was quite good because buckingham palace has got an amazing art collection in some of these rooms and they opened them all up and um there's one bit of it where you walk along quite a quite a

long narrow room and obviously you've got the headset on and getting the tour information they have something that's fucking stephen fry or bill bryson or whatever actually bill bryson does the roman baths in bath i think this one was stephen fry anyway i digress and they're talking to you about the stuff and they say if you look over to your right there's a painting from you know a rubens or whatever and um all the rest of it because they've got an amazing art collection the curator of the art that the i think that the royal family's official art expert or curator was outed as being a a soviet spy in the 50s or 60s wasn't he anyway that's a digression again so at the end of this long room anthony blunt that was his name

at the end of the long this long room there's these two fireplaces right one of them's actually a fireplace and and the voiceover said if you look at the other one it's a little gap so you crane your head around you can see a little gap and basically it's a little gap. So you can crane your head around, you can see a little gap. And basically, it's a fake fireplace with a secret entrance that when you meet the Queen on a certain occasion, she comes out of the fireplace. And then when she's finished, she goes back in there again so she doesn't have to go through all the public bit.

Incredible. That's clever, isn't it? Proper Harry Potter stuff. What if she gets sutt on her hat? No, it's not a real fireplace. Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot about the first bit again. What, it's not a real fireplace. Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot about the first bit again. What if she dies in a blaze? Yeah, it's not going to...

Well, listen, at the time of recording, that hasn't happened. If it does happen, it won't be due to that fireplace, which isn't real. Speaking of secret things behind... Probably got super cyan because you're so angry. Yeah.

About the interview. Speaking of things behind fireplacesplaces pete you shared an amazing thing with me today about this um this fake mirror in a new york apartment that was incredible oh i i love anything i love um it's a great kind of connection of like bad city landlords um secret uh secret rooms uh and also uh possible um sexual uh misdemeanors i think that's the that's the midget so this woman in new york has just it was a video on probably reddit or youtube or something um this woman uh is in her apartment and she's recently rented and she's she goes in her bathroom she always feels this weird kind of like uh breathy gust on her she feels a bit like oh why

is it why is it a bit chillier in here? Why is there a breeze coming from somewhere? And she can't figure out where it's from. At one point she thinks it's coming out the door. For some reason it's not coming out of the vent in the bathroom. And then she realizes it's just kind of coming out of the wall. So she lifts the mirror off the wall and to find out that behind the mirror

is just a hole that goes into an adjoining apartment. It's absolutely chilling. It is chilling. I thought it was a viral trailer for like a movie or something. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. She's very charismatic. She's very funny.

And she tools up and she clambers through into basically like a mirror image of her apartment, like an entire kind of apartment block that you can sort of gain access to through her mirror. It was like the video game Darkseid, if you remember that back in the day. It's just amazing. A really fascinating, horrible vision of New York in a city apartment. We'll share it on the social media.

We're getting that to share it because it's worth a watch. But it reminded me, sort of long-time listeners of the Luke and Pete show will remember the video we became obsessed with with the bloke in Hartlepool who's just exploring around with a head torch like an abandoned cinema in Hartlepool. Yeah, the audience. It was like a more chilling version of that, but weirdly not as depressing. Yeah, I guess not.

I guess not. Anyway, we've flitted around all over the place there. We've taken in so many different subjects there for one half of a Luke and Peach episode, even for us. So let's take a little break. When we come back the other side, I think we're going to do, I'm being reliably informed, we're going to do some of your life hacks,

which will be exciting. So stick around for that. And we're it's the luke and pete show i enjoyed very much luke the way that you went i'm reliably informed and you sort of touched your ears if you're wearing an earpiece and you've got a producer in your ear i'd like to disavow, isn't he? You can't say that about Pete. That is absolutely outrageous. Sorry, mate. Give me a second. That is true, to be fair, but you can't say that these days. Nats got a very unlovable big bar of dairy milk that's got like a Spurs logo on the front

to excite the Spurs fan within her. There's nothing unlovable about a kilogram-sized chocolate bar. It's a massive chocolate bar, right? And it's just branded normally. And then they've got an outer cardboard wrapper that just says one of us and a Spurs logo. And I just think, look, you need to try harder. Put it on the chocolate bar itself or nothing.

Don't try and create my favourite with a bit of print finishing. Ian Wright got one of those the other day with a proper presentation case and everything. I was very jealous of that. Didn't they give LL Cool J a Leeds shirt recently? Yeah. I think Marcus sent that on the Rambo group. It was definitely a football shirt.

Yeah, it was a weird one because it was Leeds, and it had LL Cool J written on the back of his shirt. I didn't realize that LL Cool J was even interested in soccer. I guess they must just send loads of these beautifully presented kind of boxers out just to curry favour with the LL Cool J. Yeah, I'm yet to receive them. I mean, is LL Cool J even still doing stuff? He's still around, isn't he?

He's acting now, isn't he? He's a pretty good guy. Yeah, he does a bit of acting here and there, doesn't he? A little job. Anyway. Before the break I promised you guys that I'd share some

of your guys life hacks we shared this on social media which is hello at Luke and Pete show dot com for the email but at Luke and Pete show on Instagram and Twitter and we're just interested

in what people would share for the things that make their lives a little bit easier. As the kids call them these days, they don't call them this these days. This is probably an old-fashioned old man thing to say, but life hacks, right? Life hacks. I'm going to read you through a couple, and by all means,

send some in if you haven't sent any in so far, and we'll read out our favorites. Because there's one on this list that is a huge bone of contention between my wife and I, because she, being Italian-American, regularly just absolutely chastises me for it. And I'm going to start with this one. It's by MCFC40 who says, cutting pizza with scissors is much easier than cutting it with a pizza wheel,

which I totally agree with. But every time I try and do it i get absolute pelters from my wife who says it's just saccharine you can't do it it's it's pizza wheels are not something that would you not use a knife like more than a pair of scissors no scissors is really easy mate you should try it get your kitchen scissors well i haven't said that your kitchen scissors are probably stuck in some pc somewhere but put it through the dishwasher first and try it. It's so much easier than anything else. But the thing with the pizza, using a pair of scissors, though,

like as it gets closer and closer to the little thing that joins, the little bolt that joins the two blades together, I always sort of see that as being a bit dirty because it's quite hard to clean. So it just gets rusty and rusty. So I wouldn't really like to do that, to be honest. I don't think I'd like to do that just gets rusty and rusty so i wouldn't really like to do that to be honest i don't think i'd like to do that don't do it then don't do it i won't do it what about this from soswell who says wash your hands in freezing water after cooking with garlic to get rid of the smell what does that actually work i thought it was like i thought salt

sort of did it i don't think it does work and i've got this stainless steel thing in my um kitchen that you just wash your hands with that and it that does work stainless steel does work i uh do you remember i said that a man came to my door and sold me some magic beans some some kitchen appliances and and bits of tat from from china uh and i one of the things that i bought from him were some anti-smelly bowls he threw in the fridge so that it means that it gets rid of some of the stinky smells from cheese and meat and stuff like that. And last night when I was flip-reversing the old fridge freezer, one of them dropped on the floor and opened up

and it's literally just a plastic ball with holes in it and inside one of those little silica gel packets. Oh, my God. How much did you pay for it? I imagine the principles. I imagine... Oh, it was about 10 quid. Idiot.

Absolute idiot. I could have found a pair of one in my shoes. It was so... I was so... It just got worse. It just got worse and worse, that whole situation when I saw that little silica gel, do not eat. Of course I ate it.

I wanted to get something out of it. Yeah. Oh, listen, I'll pay the tender for it. I'll do what I want with it. Thanks very much. Yeah, exactly. Orly Arly says that eating the entire kiwi is good for you and saves time peeling.

My wife also eats the entire kiwi. She doesn't peel it. I always have peeled it traditionally i it it does um it can sometimes irritate the top of the roof of your mouth or or burn your tongue a little bit because it's just it's just very abrasive like eating sandpaper but i do agree i will usually um eat everything apart from the skin i mean i mean just the flesh of the uh of the fruit and then i'll sit there on my desk and then i'll just get bored and eat that anyway if there's something on my desk that i can eat i will eat it eventually yeah if it's there long enough it's like as it it's like a uh you get

there's a graph there's an x and y axis that cross over at some point time on one side your hunger anything in your way will just get eaten yeah yeah and i'll finish with this one um with from the aptly titled phil for president who's got a good money-saving tip here, which would go down well, specifically, I suppose, if you were a very fiscally aware president. He says, always fill your date up on bread to avoid paying for dessert. Which is, I mean, it's a bit of a callback to our dinner date conversation,

but, I mean, that's not a great look, is it? Just shoving bread in your date's mouth across the table. Yeah, it's not great, especially if they're on a low-carb sort of diet. I think, how would you do that, though? I mean, you would just sort of lure them in by going, oh, this bread, oh, this bread is heavenly. This bread is something else.

Yeah, I get the principle of it. It really don't i'm not someone who and nor you people by any means i'm not someone who is i don't scrimp on stuff like if we're going out for dinner we're going out i'm not going to look at check i'm not like i just you're going to go and do it go and do it don't don't go with half an eye on how much money you're going to spend otherwise i'd rather go once a month and have a really good time than once a week and be worried about whether i can afford it or not right so the point i was just going to make though was that um i am kind of sort i am semi-aware when you go to a really nice restaurant say as a birthday treat or as a special occasion and you know it's going to be expensive you know

the food's going to be amazing and they will bring you this delicious probably freshly baked warm bread and you know what it's like you have one slice of it you end up going through about five of them and i am always like semi-aware that if i carry on doing this i'm not going to enjoy the food but it's very hard to stop so i don't know what their rationale for doing it is yeah especially in like uh when i was in in italy last year i was doing that quite a lot because i've you know you know what it's like It takes ages for everyone to get ready and get out and you have a couple of beers and stuff and then you're absolutely famished, you're absolutely ravenous.

And then you sit down and you just absolutely load up on bread. And then in Italy, obviously, you know, you get two bloody courses and then dessert on top of that. Oh, man. Wild. Just absolutely stodged. It's also a, it's just a nice nostalgic idea,

isn't it? To think about going out for dinner. Oh mate, I would, I would eat, I would eat the bin bread that people leave out for the ducks. You do do that.

And have done. I think my dog fucking does and then vomits in the night. Don't, seriously though, don't feed ducks bread. That's bad. I do want it.

What do you want me to feed them? All tires? They like peas. They like shredded lettuce. They like cooked rice. Shredded lettuce. They like oats. Yeah.

I thought rice, if you give birds rice, they swallow it and then they explode. That's what I heard. Yeah, that happens. Yeah, that's definitely something that happens in real life. Yeah. No, I said cooked rice. Apparently, that's what they like. Shredded lettuce, peas, cooked rice, that happens. Yeah, that's definitely something that happens in real life, yeah. No, I said cooked rice. Apparently that's what they like.

Shredded lettuce, peas, cooked rice and oats. There's a sign up in my local park saying this is what you... If you really want to feed the ducks... If you really want to feed a duck... Feed them this. Pad Thai. Give them a Pad Thai. Maybe, I mean, that's a bit like really steady cook, isn't it? Here's your ingredients.

What are you going to make for the ducks? A big, horrible oat cake. Yeah, with lettuce hanging out of it. i've got an email here as well i really want to do this email because it's a call back to uh from our good friend ali dalo do you remember ali oh i do emailed in with the um with the amazing information about uh roughly 16.5 million Skittles per, what was it, kilogram of gold or something like that? Yeah, I found it quite difficult to read that one, to be honest. Yeah, and he also, what we did is we sent him away with some homework saying, look,

what is the colour split between these Skittles? Because obviously you get purple, orange, yellow, red and green Skittles. And he's come back to us. So listen, if you haven't heard that first email from Ali, it's unmissably good. So go back and listen to it now if you have stick around because i'm going to give you some more uh info courtesy of our good friend ali he says um guys i'm gonna make this uh punchier because last email was quite long but i found an official scientific study from 2016 that documents the color distribution of skittles which claims the following listen i was surprised by this by the way i mean if i said to you pete what is the

most popular color of skittle what would you say red yeah exactly you'd say red i personally probably say yellow right the most prevalent skittle coming in with a whopping 22.3% is purple. Oh, that's an interesting one. Is it because it's a mixture of all the colours? Well, red and blue. 21.6% orange, 21% yellow, 18%

red, right down there, and 17.1% green. Now, applying this to the amount of skittles you get overall based on ali's earlier um email you'd get three million six hundred ninety eight thousand one hundred and forty one purple skittles three million five hundred and eighty two thousand fifty six orange ones three million four hundred and eighty two thousand five hundred and fifty 254 yellows 2,985,046 reds and a mere 2,835,734 green um how many skittles would you have to eat before it killed you pete ali says this one was more difficult but i'm going along the lines of

how many calories there are in a skittle and how many calories it would take to kill a 12 stone man it's been a while since you were 12-stone, Pete. Is that fair? What do you mean? As in like I've gone higher a lot? No, I'm just under 12-stone at the moment. Okay, fine. So that's perfect.

Those numbers work. Great. So Ali says what we can do. Sorry, the best thing we can do is sum up this way. In terms of sugar, Pete, you would need to ingest almost 30 kilograms to have a 50 chance. So basically 30 grams per kilogram of your weight, I suppose, for it to give you a 50% chance of dying.

So if you're 75 kilograms, which you are, you would need 2.25 kilos of pure sugar, and then you're not even guaranteed to die. Brain damage, please. I want Skittles. Brain damage, please. I want Skittles. Brain damage, please. I'll come on to that. 9,000 calories of sugar to give you a 50% chance of death.

Right. So if we're applying this to people, we need to calculate 12 standard kilos, 76.2, so quite close to the example figure. Now, instead of the 50% chance of death, which is stated, we're going to double it to ensure that you do die as per your request um so we need to find out how many skittles it would take to consume just over four and a half grams of sugar to guarantee a peak dose and death by skittles in the previously mentioned 100 gram bag of skittles there is 89.8 grams of sugar that's

amazing so they're 89 percent sugar and each individual skittle is one gram or just over so there's about 0.95 of a gram of sugar in each one stick with me here um we're using these as workings it would take 4765 skittles give or take to kill you peter converting that weight into weight uh for perspective that's just over five kilograms of Skittles. So in order to kill yourself by Skittles based on Ali's rudimentary maths, five kilograms of Skittles should do the trick. Yeah, he said, I love the show.

I'm happy to be your confectionary weight amount correspondent. Those are some maths. Yeah, if you do do that live on a Luke and Pete show, I mean, Ali presumably will like the show less because you will no longer be on it. It would just be a man just skittles rattling around a man's gullet. Look, I'm willing to give it a go. Five kilograms seems doable.

I mean, it just seems... Because, you know, like when you're a kid, the one kilogram weight was always like the heaviest weight you had access to. And you always thought it was quite heavy. But like you sort of go i reckon i could i reckon i could do four kilograms of uh of skill you have to do five kilos right and that means that is that's 50 100 gram bags which is the bigger bag good right yeah yeah. Oh, yeah. It's tough. Okay, right. The Skittles are lighter than I realised.

Okay, fair dues. I think, yeah, I just want to know the number that I can go up to. Safely. Safely. And then one over, I'm done.

I'm absolutely done. It's an amazingly researched email. Let's give him credit for that. Oh, it's fantastic. Could I do like a speedball? Like I ate something salty. Something like a load of pepperonis. Could I do like a speedball? Like I ate something salty. Something like a load of pepperamis.

If I'm like sort of freebursing pepperamis. Let's ask Ali how easy Pete could kill himself via Skittles if he was to move on to hard drugs, i.e. inject them. Yeah. Okay, yeah. If you injected like three Skittittles I reckon you'd probably die it's not good I don't think

injecting yourself with molten skittles is going to be very good for you no but you just wonder what it would do would you just hang around in one

thing or would it actually start to it would probably get a buzz yeah why not just be exhilarating however you however you do it

at look and beat your.com is our email address. Our Twitter is at Luke and Pete show. We've also got an Instagram as well. You can find it at the same place at Luke and Pete show. I hate when people put at Luke and like at Twitter profile on their Instagrams. If they don't have the same Instagram profile, cause you click on it and you go, that's not the same profile. You've assumed that I'm going to copy and paste that into Twitter. That's annoying that.
