What is it good for? I hit that note and then the next notes weren't so good. But I hit that note like you wouldn't believe. I was pleased with that. War. Yeah. What is it good for? Nah, it's not you're flat.

You're flat on that. At the end, I was flat. At the start, I hit it perfectly. Okay, so what note are you saying you can hit the first one? What is it? That bit. Yeah, that's good, yeah. But you want to be going, if you allow me,

what is it good for? That's the line. No. What is it good for? No, I don't think that's the line. That's exactly the same as what you just did. No, I'm going, what is it good for? Oh, no. What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing, because it allows you to go back down again. Get your emails in if I was right. I think we do it again. Together, we have the harmony. Ready? Right. one, two, three, four, what is...

Oh, I thought you were going to do the... Okay, okay, okay, okay. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again. It's a little bit George. It's Thursday of the 8th of October. No, you might be confused, but no,

that wasn't Edwin Star. That wasn't inside the recording studio with that man with the eyebrows on YouTube. Um, yeah. Are you feeling with him? I'd tell you what I do like. Edwin Starr's look around that time. He looked like he was in the

New York-based movie, The Warriors. Let's have a lot. Edwin Star. Yeah, it's the old bandana. What's the bandana? The bandana, it looks great. It's the bandana. Is he still with us? No, died in 2003. Years ago. God.

Born in Nashville. God arrest him. God rest him, Edwin Starr. Yes, it's the Luca Pitchot. I'm joined by Mr. Lucie Moore. And the ghost of Edwin Star. And the ghost of Edwin Star. You'd be the ghost of Edwin Star, okay? Right.

I'm interviewing you. Okay. Hello, Edwin. It's great to have you on the show. It's great to be on the show. What have you been up to in the last 23 years up in heaven where I presume you are? I've been followed around by a legion of dead soldiers who feel I misrepresented the horrors of war. That's a shame.

In heaven? Yeah. Some of them were rightful men. Why are you saying yeah like that? Yeah. Is that what he was, is that what he was doomed to live his life? Because that song,

you had to say the word yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Do a cup of tea, Edwin. Yeah. Is there anything else I can get you? Absolutely nothing. Nice.

Very good. So what are you been up to? Where are you going to hold? Say shells again. Yeah, that's good. Is it? I reckon Edwin. It happened, didn't it?

It happened. Did it have been starting to go to the same? Seychelles. We'll probably never know that. We'll probably ever know, no. Gemini might know. He was very much part of the Northern Soul Circuit and he was a subject of a mural in Beeston in Nottingham.

Really? So he lived in Beeston in Nottingham for a while. I did not expect that. Amazing. There is no historical record of a legendary soul singer Edwin Star ever visiting or performing in the Seychelles. Okay, right, I was going to say, yeah, I was just like, annoying what AI's

like, he would probably say he never played in the UK. Yeah, but he was born in Nashville, died in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, which I think is a lovely, lovely bit of work. Do you want to know who have something to say about that? Tom Wally. Tom Wally. He's of Nottinghamshire resident. He is a nottingham, legend, really.

Yeah, he knows everything about music. Really? He'll be brilliant at it. He can't, how can people have the memory? I just think I need a little ram upgrade or something. They know everything, like, he knows everything about cycling, yeah, podcasting, audio production. Do you write him as an,

audio producer. Oh, he's incredible. You know he's a great-to-top-top-top-top-top-top-top-top-aud-producer. He's a top-top-top-top-old producer. He's world-class. Can I venture something that's going to come across potentially a little bit self-aggrandizing? Yes. Just bear with me. More Brassal-Wolly music pub quiz. Are we ever getting beaten? Ugh. I actually feel a bit ill. Need you for the Scarpunk? Need you for the Scarpunk? Need you for the Scarpa.

Dot on for the rest of it. Dot on for the rest of it. So, Adebio, Donaldson, More Wallie. Brassel. That is a music pub quiz dreamtie. More Wally Brassel. Sounds like a cool, like a real, like a member of the aristocracy that you do not want at the party. Sounds like a lawyer of, a law firm where they're a real bunch of cunt. They're disorganized. They're with more Wally and Brassel. Yeah. I'm enjoying every second solicitor going on YouTube and doing videos about Man City. I get a lot of that. I get a lot, I get a lot of lawyer work on Instagram about would these things happen in real life. What do you mean?

So I'll get an Instagram real that will come up. Yeah. And it'll be Tom Cruise doing, you can't handle the truth, whatever. Doing something. Oh, and they sort of go, would this happen in real life? And it cuts to an actual lawyer and they'll go, I'll give that a five out of ten. Oh, yeah, where they're a review of the movies. It's a lot of fun.

But I wouldn't recommend that strategy. That's basically it. But you do forget that everyone's a lawyer in America. And when you see, for example, the level of the legal profession who end up in, for example, Trump's government, you do sort of go, hmm, it seems pretty easy to get a lot of degree out there. What I think you can do in America for sure is find a lawyer somewhere who will defend any position.

Yes. Like the ones Trump was rolling out in the glory years when he got when he got ousted as a president's president. The ones that were prepared to come out and say, yeah, I think it was a fraudulent election. The ex-mare of New York, for example. Yeah, but the ones, I mean, the ones that you get, yeah, but there was also, yeah, absolutely, he's kind of lost it totally. Well, they're the only ones who'll do it and, um, knowing, in knowing full world, they're just doing it for cred rather than money because he never pays his bills. Because a few, because a few of them before he came along were basically suing, you know, ghosts who haunted houses.

You know, and it was just appearing in the National Inquirer. Like, there was no precedent for any of it. Yeah. Um, it was fantastic. See, but you will, you will find any, that's part of the reason it's an amazing country in it. will be amazing again one day is because in America you can find anyone that will do anything. The whole of, it's a crucible of life. Wanking for coins.

Well, no, I mean, I'm not. A few people in South End it'll do that. But like, just the, just the very definition of wanking for kind is just kind of like, it's, it's, yeah. I think you've got a case. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Oh, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I think you got a character. Sometimes the process is the punishment really, isn't it?

Something that was relevant to our interests is that I read on the BBC website this morning that the government are there's 20 local authorities in England who have signed up to a potty training pilot scheme that's right, yes because too many kids, sadly too many kids are going to school without being potty trained

I might be on that journey myself by which I mean my son yeah I feel a good day clock The clock is ticking. The clock is ticking. We've got like 11 months to get this nailed. And the thing is we are, we're in all heaps of trouble, heaps of poops. But yeah, I do sort of think that you can go through training. Do you get the bachelor's degree at the end of it? That's the problem. Like you at DeMontford University? Exactly. You've done the three years. Have you got a degree? No, you haven't. Four years. They're going through the training. But did they get anything out of it? That's the problem.

So, training's happening. It was four years and then you didn't bother graduating. Three years on the year were in at the zoo on it.

Yeah, but you didn't bother graduating. Didn't bother graduating. Was the year in the zoo sanctioned? You just decided to do it. A year in Provence. The year with the spider monkeys.

Like when Ernest Timingway goes to Spain to do bullfighting for a while. That was you at the zoo. We, I was spent the night in the zoo last Tuesday night. Hmm.

And tell us more about that. Again, officially sanctioned. Officially sanctioned. Tickets were purchased. You got Port Limsou. And I've heard good things about this. It's good. You sleep in the tiger enclosure or something?

Yeah, well, it's these tree houses and stuff. And they were like, they're really fancy. And we were not paying full whack for the evening. You're getting 20% off with the code extra 20 because that's what some people appear to be doing. Well, we're getting a lot more off than that because Sarah is lifelong friends

with one of the zookeepers. Because Sarah was quite simply attacked. Yeah, just say, one of your animals attacked me. Can we stay in the line thing? Can we want to stay here more? So were it good? 800 quid, but is the normal price

for one night in the zoo. Holy hell. Which is just insane. It's nice. Not that nice. No. A bit of breakfast's not going to, you know. Can't believe the tigers are paying that.

Can't be. They've got jobs. So what was the experience like? Did you feel like you wanted to stay up all night? because you're in the zoo? Well, I was expecting to sort of see, certainly when I used to come in for work at like probably,

by the time I got there, it was probably like 10 o'clock in the morning because it was just a nightmare to get from Leicester to not being a car driver myself, but like Leicester to Twycross is just a car journey, a train journey, a train journey, then a car journey, just nightmarish.

And when you get there, the Gibbons would be in full voice. Right. Oh, who, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah. Like crazy noise. They sound like Carlislems. They didn't hear a peep out of them.

They didn't fucking shout on anything. So what part of the zoo were you in, though? We were kind of far away. We went far away, but we were like out in the tree house just you can look over everything. I could kind of see half a rhino if I squinted. Not worth it. Well.

I thought there was one where you're right in the middle of the tiger enclosure. Yeah. We stayed in a few years ago, the wolf enclosure bit. See wolves when you fancy. Wolves on tap. And I think there's a tiger and a lion one and I think there might be

a rhino one I want to say as well Rhino's a magnificent beasts aren't they're great absolutely perfect They look like they've got armour on Yeah Which I like They have

Try and it looks like Someone's put it on them Try and take one down You know Back in the day You know So you know they used to use Elephants in war

Hannibal I think was famous for it Right And they used to put them in gear Yeah A rhino would be I mean maybe rhinos aren't as compliant

But rhinos Would be quicker quicker off the Be quicker Presum Presumably the elephants are compliant, aren't they? What do you mean?

As in like, they're getting something out of it? Well, no, they'll do what you say. You can train them. Yeah, but surely, rhinos are in the same ballpark, aren't they? No one's trained. No one's trained. I don't think so.

I think you might be the man for the job. No one's had a go, to be honest. I like going to walk around a zoo and you're like, like a lot of the animals at this point are not endangered at all. Like, what around in?

Do you think it's justifiable keeping them in there then? Oh, I don't know, actually. Yeah, that's a very good point. But then there's lots of them, so why not have some of them? You know what I mean? Because don't zoos get around it now? Because back in the day, it used to be, yeah, grab whatever animals you want to stick with it. Yeah, yeah.

Stick that one in with that one. Yeah, might be right. Now they have to acknowledge. It's almost like the British Museum has to acknowledge they've stolen that of shit. Yeah. Now zoos have to acknowledge it's probably quite cruel to keep a magnificent animal in a cage. So they say, oh, this is part of a breathing program, or this is because they're in danger. But if you're looking at like a spider monkey or a, I don't know what's not in danger.

Like a, probably like a, what are the ones of the arses? Oh, mandrill. Yeah. Is it mandrill or a macaque or something? Like some of the monkeys, a lot of the monkeys aren't, I'm endangered. Because Bristol Zoo closed, didn't it? Because of that exact reason. Bristol Zoo closed after like almost 200 years.

Right. Because it was, it's just, the facility just wasn't up to modern standards. They had to basically close it. Yeah. So there's a lot more, it's a lot more socially conscious now. But at Bristol Zoo, they used to have an amazing red panda enclosure. Man, they are fucking amazing red pandas. They're a lot more, they're a lot more plentiful than the other pandas, aren't they?

Yeah, because the other pandas are paying the ass, aren't they? Let them die out. There's a conspiracy theory on the internet, which surprise surprise, isn't true, that pandas are like a modern Chinese invention. I went like a, eh, like a sort of, but what would they sort of base that? What's the base animal that they've kind of made? Well, I think that a lot of people on the internet who have too much time on their hands say,

oh, well, you don't see pandas mention like antiquity or in writings and stuff until about like 1870 or something. Right. Which is not true. It's actually not true, but that's what a lot of people say. And China took a long time to open up. And I guess they may be saying that like

it's just people in suits. Well, you do see those poor, those shitty, you know, shit Chinese, you know, out in the stick kind of like mini zoos that have like painted dogs. They've paid a dog to say, look, it's a... In Victorian times, I think, like,

a massive percentage of zebras were painted horses, weren't they? Yeah. I'm fine with that, to be honest. I really don't mind. Does the horse mind? No. It's fine. How do you know?

Exactly. Well, I don't know the horse really cares. Preservie you like it to be some kind of non-toxic paint, though. Yeah. Really hard to have this conversation when I'm looking at you, and there's literally six awards behind you on the shelf. I know. We're talking about painted horses.

None for us. Speaking of the conspiracy of years, I very much I'm astounded about how aggressively the conspiracy theorists have gone after that, that fly-de-by flight.

Well, you're going to have to be careful here now. You might start to sound like one of them. What do you mean? I said, like, well, I guess that's all behind it, as opposed. And just generally anti-Jew stuff. but isn't it weird I just find it very weird there's something that clearly just happened

they're having it they've got hold of this kind of like as it's a red flag kind of thing and they're sort of like concentrating on like pictures and like clips from the scene and stuff and they're sort of going yeah this is just a you know it's just an absolute thing and you know obviously like

we know that Netanyahu and Israel have indulged in propaganda having dollars in the There's elections at the end of the month and there's elections at the end of the month and you know what I found

apropos of nothing I don't have a fully formed view on this but one thing I did find very odd is that the the guy who overthrew the hijacker

uh yeah went straight to Netanyahu for a meeting was still with blood on him yeah yeah that was weird but Netanyahu wanted that he wanted to see it of course but if you're

well you charge you had a shirt I'll keep it on yeah in this country if it leads it leads Yeah, quite, but in this country, you'd like to think, I'm saying this country, because I have no idea about it as well, I've never visited there.

But in this country, you'd think there'd be a duty of care from the medical professional to say, well, we need to check him for shock, we need to make sure he's not injured, all this kind of stuff. Luke, it's quite literally Benjamin Netanyahu there I'm talking about. It struck me as very jarring to watch.

Yes, yes, it was very strange. But, yeah, an amazing story. It was an axe. there's an axe that they used to sort of get out of the plane that they need to, if they need to chop something up. The guy just fucking started whaling. Well, on the cockpit door? So you know if like a plane crashes

and they can't get out the door, you need a way of smashing out the window. I'm asking how he got into the cockpit door because the cockpit was, it was a co-pilot, wasn't it, who was doing it. So the co-pilot did it and he did a lot of quite, from what, from all, the mentor pilot, who I am obsessed with,

he kind of went through it and went, what, it looks very much like the pilots who rushed in had to do a lot of stuff to reverse that fucking fall because by on occasion he turned the engines off, he turned the AP off, he turned everything off, he could turn off, and the pilots had had a lot of stuff to fucking do before they managed to rescue that. There was two other pilots? There's two of the pilots happen to be on the, yeah. And they ran in there and sort of it. Yeah, but the guy... But the co-pilot incapaceted at the other pilot? He incapaceted the pilot, but I mean, an astonishing bit of bravery.

from the Indian guy, the Indian pilot, who managed to get the door open so people could get in to rescue the situation. Look, I'm not saying it isn't brave. Huge about. But what's the alternative in this situation? You're a pilot. What do you mean?

Well, I just think that if you're a pilot on a plane that's going to crash, you've got a duty to care. No, but you've been chopped up proper. Oh, yeah, he was injured as well. I've not seen the story, Pete. Yeah, yeah, I don't know what the story is. He was dark, like he'd been, he'd been attacked by an axe.

Fucking hell. So, and he was on the floor, and he managed to get the door unlocked so the people could get in. Fuck, I didn't realize that. And he survived. Yeah. Fucking hell. The bravery on the man. And he's just, you know, and he's getting interviewed on his bed.

And it's just like, it's one of my, it's one of my worst fears, the old plane crash. But I mean, I think it's one of the, I think, I think, you do have to go like two pilots. And it was interesting to see like the original kind of reporting, not reporting, internet fluff. People were saying, yes,

it was a Russian pilot and a Ukrainian pilot having a scrap when you're like, really? Really? Is that what we're jumping to? But yeah,

it's a story that I am absolutely fascinated by the bravery, the fucking stones for anyone to come out of that without losing their fucking mind as a passenger. Do you not think there's

something... I mean, obviously that story is horrific and all the best of those involved. But... But from one man. Well, yeah, obviously, to the ones who deserve all the best sense to them.

But do you not think... When I said, the worst fear of plane crashing, it's something very bleak, I think. I think it might be... It might be me affected by that Air France incident back in the day.

What, the Concord? No, no. There was an Air France flight where it was a new model of plane. and there's a very inexperienced co-pilot and they changed a load of stuff around after it happened as they always do to make safety better but there was a joystick

what's it called a throttle or whatever to the left of the co-pilot where the senior part couldn't see it yeah so he didn't know what the co-pilot was doing necessarily right the co-pilot's brain was a bit scrambled and he kept trying to pull them up out of a dot out of a storm but he couldn't

when the more experienced pilot knew that you had to put the nose down to get the speed up to bring it back up the storm by the time he realized what he was doing it was too late. Yeah. But the point being, I think it was a flight from like Rio to Paris

or something. In the middle of the night over the South Atlantic and they're just slowly, slowly, slowly sink it. It's just very, very bleak about it.

They're all terrible. It took ages to find the black box. There was one that was similar to that. The pilot on the, the pilot's usually left

and core pilots is usually right. Don't know. Left, the guy who had the left stick. He had, he'd brought a camera to take pictures

from the cockpit because he likes taking pictures from the cockpit, because it's interesting. And he'd put his camera down next to his seat, and he adjusted his seat forward with the electric to go forward and backwards. And he pushed the camera into the stick.

Well, he could figure out why the plane wasn't doing what he was supposed to be doing. No, they figured it out in the end. Oh, my bloody camera. It's gotten wedged. The thing with you, if that was you, if that was you, you wouldn't know not to that. You start lashing out saying it wasn't your,

It wasn't my fault. Yeah. And you've got no examples of me doing that. You asked me to bring the camera. But it is so accurate. It's quite annoying that. Listen, put it this way. It's like that bell curve.

I've got so many examples of it. I can't remember any of them. I've got so many of them. That's just not true. But I, but I am astonished. That's exactly what I would do. Do you think you could bring a plane down?

Do you think you could bring a plane down? No. Anyone could do that. Like you can land the plane? No. Even if they talk you through it? I could get it on it. I could get it to where it needs to be.

I think. It's the same thing. working. I reckon I could get it onto the, uh, onto the airport. And that's as general as I'll get. I don't like that phrasing even. I'll get it onto the airport. You said you can get it where it needs to be. What it needs to be. It needs to be on the fucking ground. Can you get it on the ground? I can get it on the ground. It'll come in too fast. It'll roll over and it'll be a fiery fireball. I think if someone was talking you through it. No, you, you said this about GP's and you upset a GP. This is exactly

I did actually, didn't I, yeah. I got bombarded about that. It was a poor choice of wording by me. Do you know what I said? A wording. Do you want to say? A three-minute diatope. I just talked about an insight into your personality.

Here's the insight into mine. Right. I still do believe in my heart of hearts. If I phrased it properly, I would be in the right there. Okay. But this is not open, no wounds. Right. Ironically, because there's no GPs to treat them.

My father and I was talking about his... Frank Champion. Frank Champion. was talking about a sort of abscess he had. I'm not going to say where it is, because that's not my story to tell. But it's very painful. Now already the mine's racing.

But it was very painful. And the doctor... If it was just on his back, you just said it, wouldn't you? Yeah. And the doctor said... And the doctor, you'd go to the doctor back then, and the doctor would drain the abscess right there and then. Now, I find that very quaint.

Like nowadays, if you had an abscess, you'd get it scat. you'd have to go to a specialist slicer. If it's already if it's already overflowing, you haven't got a dread. It just needs to drain, doesn't it? Because if doesn't drain, it goes into your bloodstream and poisons you, is that right?

I guess so. It depends on where it is, I suppose. Because the reason I'm saying this, because I've had experience with the abscesses with one of my cats. Right. Who'll get in a fight. Yeah. Get infected. And the vet will say, But he'll be all right. If it's leaking out, it's fine.

Just let it drain. Right. if it doesn't leave. I mean, I presume it's the same for human beings. I just don't see why you can't go to the doctorate. You can just jab a little knife in it and just let it drain. Complicate now, isn't it?

Like a horse's hoof. The great Danny Kelly, who's been in very poor health and I wish him all the best. He's a legend. You get well soon, Danny, for sure. He tells a brilliant story about his doctor grown up in his 60s and 70s. You know this story?

No. He said he had his family doctor and his family and the family eventually the family eventually moved to a new doctor, although Danny insisted on staying with this doctor because he really liked him well into adulthood until this doctor died.

And this is like 70s Britain all over. This doctor would turn up to the surgery in the morning, drop his bag off or whatever, have everything he needed, or always check in, I guess, then take his bag with him everything he needed, straight down to the bookies, right, in there all day.

Everyone in the area, because it's a local GP, because it worked then, knew if they needed to see him, go to the book, go to the bookies, his first come first serve, and he would write the prescription with a little bookie spiral. No, I don't mind it.

It's unprofessional, but who's complaining? You know what I mean? The thing that gets me is like... And that doctor was Dr. Harold Sheik. No, it wasn't, it wasn't. I don't have a problem with it. I just don't, like, well, I have a problem with that. But...

What do you have a problem with that? specifically there. Doctors not, doctor's not visiting the house. I remember the doctor visit in my house. I do too. You used to have a little, you know,

a bag in his, bag in his hat and he wrapped on the door with a ratat-tat-tat. From the, from the, from the, um, song,

isn't it? And he knocked on the door with a ratat-tat-tat. But the doctor never had a hat. That's just, they just said that for the rhyme, haven't they? Yes, they have had, yeah.

Yeah, I remember when I was 16, I slammed, someone slammed my finger in the door, and it was bad. It actually still makes me wince a bit now So this would have been 1996 slash 1997 still

And the doctor came out Did your hand go the colour of Colin Henry's face? It was bad, mate It was bad Imagine your finger slammed in the hinge of a door that fully closes I mean you just like

That's not a doctor thing That's an x-ray situation no Yeah but my first course It was like quite like a night by that point My mom was like, I couldn't you just come out and check it. Right. And it was actually,

it was actually fine. It's healed fine, but it was bad. Imagine the door being actually closed with your finger in it. I just, I don't know how you've, was it just the tip

because how would you don't bring something there? It was on the down, it was on the nail. It was actually the week I started my GCSEs as well. Oh, I feel absolutely sick there. It was fucking horrible, mate.

It was Mark Dunford who did it as well. Fucking Mark. Remember Mark? You know Mark? Yeah. Yeah. You know he? What did he do that for?

We were working together. Right. And he's accident. He didn't do it all purpose. Yeah. We were working to go at the sports shop, mate. I can't wait. No, sorry, I can wait.

I just don't want my daughter to deal with. Because she's going to, the way she slams stuff. Yeah. You're going to learn the hard way. She's got hard to learn the moments, mate. Oh, can I, before we get into kids hurting themselves, because that's a horrible topic of conversation. At the sports shop we worked out, me and Mark,

he, one of the overriding memories of working in that place because we were absolutely rabid. We were just terrible, terrible employees. Yeah. We didn't care about helping anyone. All we did was use at the chat up girls. This is why Southampton had a better spot, you know, spot youth teams.

Put it this way, Peter. The company is no longer in business. But Mark walked out of the shop one day, went down in the precinct to the joke shop, bought a fake turd. Right? And was, so it was like a proper, you know those ones are sticky?

Listen, I'm talking to an expert here. Yeah. The sticky one, that looks like a turd. I bought one. Two months ago. So this was like 1997. Yeah, yeah. Right.

But for no reason at all, in his own shop, on a Saturday, he was just the assistant manager over there. He didn't give a shit. He would drop it in the shop on the carpet. So customers would come in and go, there's a dog turd in this shop. Right. And leave.

And then once, he accidentally dropped it and they got stuck onto a customer's shoe. So they're walking around with a dog poo on there. And they walked off. Wow. And he was like, where's my fucking, where's my dog poop?

There's my fake dog poo. And we had to run up and go and get it. I remember he once kicked, we used to have Portsmouth games on the radio. Right. And obviously we were all Pompey fans. And Portswood can see the last minute winner, the last minute to lose on the radio.

And Mark kicked in anger a pair of shorts off a hook that hit a man in the face. who made the official complaint. What makes a complaint the official law? You know what I mean? He just wrote a letter to the manager. Really? Yeah.

And so I went right. It's funny, isn't it? Yeah, it's funny. I don't know what part of, do you kick the court hanger? We used to go to the pub at luncheon get pissed. It was like, honestly, it was so bad. I think retail is the exact sort of job that you should treat

with the utmost disrespect by getting pissed at lunchtime. We used to close. I couldn't do anything like. But it's all about being sort of quite, you know, quite pleasant, isn't it? A couple of pints helps you do that, didn't it? I felt like I enjoyed the job, but looking back on it, it's because of those reasons. We used to close a shut a half hour early so we could play cricket in the shop. All sorts used to go on, Matt, I'm telling you.

Solid. That's where I learned that I don't, probably for the first time, that I don't really want a proper job. Right. That's what I would say. Yeah. Anyway, Peter, let's get out of here. Just get out of here for crying out, love. Let's move on with our lives.

We'll be back on Monday, won't we? Yes. And that's a guarantee. That's a Luke and Pete show guarantee. Exactly. If anyone wants to get in touch, it's hello at the lukempetechow.com. Is it?

Luke and Pete's it? I don't know we do this. You do it. You do it. Have I think about how you would email the place. So I would email this show at hello at absolute radio. And we're on social as well. And you can find this on YouTube too.

Subscribe on YouTube so you can watch us as well as listen to us. That's what you want to. I actually prefer YouTube a podcast now. I'll just stick it on the old lappy tea and get on my day. Well, if you've got the old YouTube premium, and I never do it, I never make this conscious choice for some reason I always think, if I'm watching something on, like,

if I'm consuming a podcast on Spotify, it's somehow a cleaner situation. But if I'm listening on Spotify, you get my ads, don't you? So they have to bake in the ad. You don't get the dynamic ads on YouTube necessarily. I'm a premium guy. I'm a premium guy, too.

I don't know how that works for the income of the shows in question. I think if your premium, you get, you are more used to the, yeah, you're of more use to them than the normal listeners. No, no, but I'm a standard YouTube premium subscriber. I don't subscribe to a specific show, isn't it? No, I know, I know. But still, I think I'm fairly certain somebody who knows this stuff told me that a YouTube

premium listener financially is of more used to you than someone who isn't and watches the ads. Huh. How come? I don't know. Maybe they share that wealth. Maybe that changed a long time ago. And as with a lot of my opinions about a podcast and stuff, it's all very old-skilled.

Maybe they'll pass those savings onto their customers. I'll probably talk about it's drizzled down trickle down economics, isn't it? Right, yeah, we'll be back on Thursday So, yeah, Monday, Peter, it's Thursday a day.

It's Thursday, there? Yeah, back on. The Luke and Pete show is a stack production and part of the Acast Creator Network.
