It's the Luca Peach Show. Pete Donaldson with you. I'm joined by Mr. Lukie Moe.
Lukie Moe of Passion FM on the South Coast. I'm from Demon FM.
Domothi University student radio station where I never actually work for because they're all pieces.
But Lukie Moe is here. It's showing all of professionalism.
Overlooking a talent of that considerable quality is negligent from Demon FM, I would say.
Can I just pick up on one thing if you don't mind, Pete Donaldson?
and Passion FM 106.8 was actually based in Northern Hampshire, not the South Coast.
I see.
I mean, 1.6.8 FM, that's a pretty decent, if not a little high FM frequency.
I mean, I'm fairly, I'm trying to think who would be able to.
I don't think Japanese radios could pick you up, but I think maybe North American ones,
you'd be right in the middle of the dial, baby.
You reckon?
Yeah, I think so, because we all have different frequency modulation ranges.
doesn't it?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, you're really quite high on hours.
But I think the Japanese might me either a bit higher or a bit lower.
So either way, you'd either be right in the middle or off the dial completely.
Well, I'm just deeply concerned for prospective passion 106.8 listeners and their radio ratings
because if you're going to say South Coast, people are going to be expecting to pick it up on the South Coast.
They're not going to be going to be a bit of consternation about that.
We found wanting, aren't they?
One of the little secret jokes I like about.
people just do nothing, the corrupt FM thing,
is that they list their frequency as 108.9, don't they?
Which is way high that you can actually go.
You only really get that joke if you're a radio person,
which I respect.
Oh, well, there you go, yeah.
The FM on a Japanese radio seems to go from between 76 to 90.
You don't even get in the hundreds in Japan.
Wow.
We've got no chance.
Passion 106, I've got no chance of being big in Japan.
Way off, way off, way off in the distance.
I wouldn't have thought the student radios,
I mean, student radio stations, I mean, going back,
when I was, my brief sojourn onto a passion 1 of 6.8 would have been 2001.
Yeah.
You're probably not rolling out a student radio station on FM dial.
Now, why you're probably just doing digital only, I expect DAB, and that's that, right?
Yeah.
I mean, you'd imagine that the FM frequencies will be going cheap.
Like, you'd be able to each have a little FM frequency
because people still have radios and stuff,
and FM sort of, you know, pirate radio stations are pretty,
easy to set up if you've got the, um, energy requirements required. Um, so I don't know why
they're not allowing FM licences left, right and centre, quite frankly, but there's probably
no appetite, because people, you say people have got FM radios, have they really? Who? Uh, I've
just picked one up to check the, uh, FM frequencies on a Japanese. Yeah, you've got one in your
shed in your, in your position as a noted tech geek and radio man. Right. Okay. Is that really
commensurate with like the general public? Most people will have an FM frequency in their car, almost
guaranteed they'll still have f if if your car was made post 2015 there's a chance you might not
have fm but i think you still will to be quite frank and talk to me about the um talk to me about
the demon fm energy did you did you go to interview there did you audition for a show no i saw a friend
had a punk um show with his uh part on on off on off partner which i guess makes um scheduling
show is quite difficult when there's been a falling out every second week um and uh
There's, and I sort of visited there and, you know, did some sidekick Simon stuff, but they were.
Did you really?
So your psychic journey started out on Demon FM?
19, yeah.
So you did actually get on the airwaves?
I sort of did a couple of squeaks and bups.
That was kind of my long and shot of it.
But I would say that...
And then become your trademark over the year.
Student radio is a mixed bag, let's say.
Very enthusiastic people.
They all think they're going to go on Radio One, but not all they ever do.
Well, there was a mixed bag on Passion Mine 6.8
between people like me who kind of loved it
and like sport, because I did a sport show,
and then the proper guys who,
and listen, I'm not denigrating them.
In fact, we're probably going to hear from one of them in a minute in an email
or about one of them in an email that we've had in the inbox for ages
that is now roughly adjacent to what we're talking about,
so we might as well do it, who, I mean,
there's this guy, you're going to hear about him in a minute,
called Darren, who,
would quite literally get up at like five every morning at university, right?
And do the breakfast show on Passion 1.6.8 before going to his lectures from 9.
Right.
Every day.
Is he the fellow who, is he the fellow who used to report pirates in the area?
He is.
He is.
So he used to make, in his breaks between lectures, I would sometimes see him in the internet cafe
because people wouldn't have the internet at their homes then students
and he would be reporting um reporting pirate stations he'd heard of an area to
he's at the r a b would be r a b wouldn't it would not be offcom do they not sort of deal
with that what's the r a b what's rab that's the advertising bureau isn't it that's different
would be offcom then yeah and um even then i thought wronging
i quite i quite liked him personally i thought he was all right but he was way into his
radio way into it and um our friend rory um emailed us about he's called darren scott his
actual name's not darren scott his actual name's darren broadbent right but much like dave clifton
he obviously changed his name to a radio adjacent name yeah okay yeah because you know that's a that's a
there's a reveal isn't there in mid-morning matters when um um we find out that dave clifton's real
name isn't Dave Clifton it's um it's Tom Berringer or something and Alan just goes you changed
your name to Dave Clifton and uh yes it's a bit like that that does happen but Rory emails
I says hello gents um I was listening to uh an episode recently when you started discussing
radio hosts who work under different on-air names as soon as Luke mentioned Darren Scott my
ears pricked up Darren Scott I thought surely not that Darren for Mix 96 Buckinghamshire's best mix of
music.
Yes.
They all have those tag lies, don't they?
Yeah, today's,
today's favorite music was T.FM
up in the northeast back in the day.
What's demon FM's?
Music with a sting in its tail, of course.
Oh yeah, you said.
Yeah.
Power FM, where I grew up was,
I think, Hampshire's best music mix, maybe.
Right, okay.
Yeah, it was a, Power FM was very much
one of those stations that was very poppy,
but at the weekends they'd have some silly sort of
sire sort of stand-up adjacent
people doing a bit
doing a sort of star turn
doing a naughty little shore
They led massively
They went massively into garage music
I remember that
Anyway, Roy says
Lo and behold
It was indeed Darren and Katie
At Breakfast Time
Of that fame
That name instantly took you back
To a decade at a time
When I was a fresh-faced 17-year-old
clambering into a friend's newly acquired car
In lieu of the Drury School bus
And heading to Sixth Form College in Aylesbury
Mix 96 was our loyal morning companion, especially during the school run.
The highlight of the breakfast show, without a doubt, was the £1,000 minute.
The concept was brilliantly simple.
Answer 10 questions correctly in 60 seconds, and you'd bag a cool grand.
For a group of 17-year-olds in 2014, even just a share of this was a veritable fortune.
We fancied ourselves as budding intellectuals, regularly scoring nine or 10 correct answers between us each morning when we listened along.
And boldened, we decided to ring in and try our luck.
the station was as gloriously tin pot as you'd imagine a small local outfit to be
and over the course of three weeks we managed to get ourselves on there at least five times
by timing our calls to perfection as soon as the lines opened there was one small hiccup however
technically we were all too young to compete only one of our friends had just turned 18
undeterred the rest of us would gratuitously lower our voices and pretend to be our dads right
We never once considered what might happen should one of us actually win and be presented with the enormous check and not clearly be in our early 50s.
At one spring morning, it was finally my turn to compete, so we pulled into a Tesco car park near the school, a group of us huddled around our phones.
The 3G signal was weak, but undaunted.
I assumed my new identity of my dad, Ian.
The quiz began with Darren, the aforementioned Darren Scott at the helm, but it all went downhill from there.
the questions that day were impossible.
Something about 90s Academy Award red carpet outfits.
And Scottish National Parks, leaving me completely stumped.
Excuse me.
My once sky high confidence evaporated,
and by the end I'd scrape together a pitiful three correct answers.
Crestfallen, I feebly thanked Darren and Katie for the chance.
Katie, trying her best to be encouraging,
said something along the lines of, well, everyone loves a trier.
Now, I'm usually mild mannered,
but that morning my teenage angst got the better of me
without even thinking
I snapped back
oh thanks very much little miscondescending
there was a
there was a stunned silence followed by Darren
howling with laughter
declaring this was the best thing he'd heard on air recently
upon a decade of reflection
I couldn't disagree more with Darren
and I'm ashamed by what was in fact my condescension
Darren eventually left Mix 96 in 2016
without fanfare
according to a report from the Bucks Herald
he didn't even announce his final appearance on the show out of not wanting to cause a fuss.
After that mortifying morning, I more or less avoided Mix 96 altogether.
Now, looking back, I'm strangely regretful.
Mix 96 has since been swallowed up by the greatest hits radio brand,
meaning that a significant chunk of the Bucks identity from the 90s and 2000s has been lost to the annals of time.
It's been a decade since that fateful quiz, and in the grand tapestry of life, it's a minor stitch,
but it stuck with me greatly, so much so that I've never contacted a radio station or podcast ever again.
until today. Thanks for jogging my
memory. Give it the great work. All the best
Rory. Rory.
Good email. Little Miss
condescending himself. Wow.
I mean... I can imagine Darren
finding that funny. I don't think Darren would remember
me. Darren comes out
brilliantly here, I think, in this story.
Yeah. Yeah. He was an
all right guy, but he was just very, very
radio and he's spoken away on the radio
that no one ever speaks in real life.
No, that's how you get your job on
you know, Buckingham's just a greatest mix or
whatever the hell it was.
I mean,
so you didn't have the confidence to go into Demon FM and say,
listen,
guys,
here's my CD show real.
Is my show real, yeah.
Is my escape tip?
Give me a chance right now.
No,
I think if you had the gumption to get up at,
you know,
six o'clock on the morning to do a radio show,
I mean,
fed it was doing it.
I did a bit of,
I did a couple weeks of hospital radio.
That was an interesting experience.
Oh, go on.
Tell us about that.
It was at Highgate,
and everyone was very lovely.
It was kind of run by a lad who is,
is also very lovely, big into his plane spotting,
so I think that tells its own tale.
Why did you elect to do hospital radio out of interest?
What stage of your life were you at?
I wanted to get into radio,
and I was still working at local government,
and it was before I did proper work experience at proper station,
so I did that for a couple of weeks,
and it sort of ran concurrently with my first bit of cover,
I think, sort of, you know, work experience cover.
Anyway, and the lad who,
sort of ran it was he kind of
he was a runner I think for a little
while maybe a couple of months
at Virgin when it was
Virgin's a British radio station run by
well owned by Richard Branson
certainly was now it's licensed by another company
News International I think and
anyway he
he'd done like a couple of months of running and
he under Chris Evans on the breakfast
show who was you know to any one isn't
familiar big swinging dick back then
left under a cloud etc etc
and he and he had like
this grainy photograph of him and Chris Evansy.
We don't always show us it to sort of, you know, prove that he was, like,
I was just saying to Chris last week, and I was like,
why are you saying to Chris last week?
It was a lovely bit of that.
In the same way that I bring up Hollywood stars of interviews in the past or indie bands,
you know, you grab all of it and you keep all of it.
In the same way, I'll tell everyone who I've met that I've got a master's degree.
Yep, well, fair, fair.
Everyone does that stuff.
To be fair, that's a lot harder work than going at the Soho Hotel and eating biscuits
and interview in Scarlete Hanson.
But I mean, it's, I mean, that's five minutes of work compared to two years.
I was thinking I'd rather be going to a lecture.
Until the word, Scott Yen Hansen, and I was like, no, yeah, I'll, I'll do that.
All right, fine.
Absolutely fine.
But would it be, would it be completely kind of, like totally emasculating to spend some time in a professional environment with a woman as beautiful as that and her be so, like, not dismissive of you, but in.
instantly forget you as soon as you walk out of the room again.
I think that's corded into the...
I think anyone who starts thinking that they are remembered, respected.
I mean, I think there's a bit of you that would have been,
if I crack the right joke here at the right time,
she might remember me.
Yeah.
Well, she famously, I've told the story before,
a Irish journalist,
and I used that with the smallest year possible.
She'd heard that Scarlett Hansom was potentially pregnant,
and she turned up with...
their nappies concealed in her dress.
She could pull them out, throw them at Scarley-Hanson and get the shot.
Absolutely mental behaviour.
Absolutely mental.
So I think she probably remembers her, but in the same way, if I piss my pants,
if I piss my pants, I've got more chance of being remembered.
You've got Tony Hawks pro skater too on down your pants.
Exactly, always.
And in my heart, what's that going?
Tattooed on your heart.
I'm doing the only scarlet.
thing. What were you actually doing? Were you just
talking to the people who were convalescing?
It was just a lot of, there was just like every
sort of Tuesday night, it was just
a lot of people kind of
are pissing about
for about four hours and it was
I would be surprised if
anyone ever heard that because it was
utter shit
utter. I mean
at least during radio, they're
kind of, you know, one
step on the ladder, but hospital radio
certainly the way where I was, it was utterly
chaotic, frequently
offensive. Is there just
volunteers who love it because they love it, right?
Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, they love it.
A bit of camaraderie, bit of friendship.
We once got to go, it was in the height of like,
you know, MRSA was like a big problem
in hospitals for a long time.
I think they've kind of got on top of it a little more,
but still not amazingly.
But Emma, it was in the middle of like a big MRSA
so we didn't go on the wards quite so much
to get requests and stuff.
but I mean I'm fairly set
because the actual listening stuff isn't like
they're not actually wires
they're like really old school sort of pipes
so the speakers are kind of in the walls
and then they pipe the sound
like these horrible robbery
sort of headsets it's really
isn't it really not great
yeah I remember I can remember
they still had it at Hazla Hospital
and Gospel which is no longer there
I think one of my family members
was in there I was visiting and I turned up
and the headphones looked like stethoscope headphones
yes yeah yeah yeah they were really interesting
They look like the sort of things
It looks like the sort of things
Your Nan used to use to have a shower
Connect the two sort of
Well you know the things you put on your ears
My nan used to have a pair
That was like sort of a sort of cream rubber
That you would put on the taps
As a kind of mix of taps
And it would be
It looked very medical
And pretty, you know
Looks like it belongs inside someone
It's not right
So yeah
I want to say
Before we move on
I want to say that
There's a lot of amazing people
not just in local radio
but in student radio as well
I was up at
University of Cambridge
a couple weeks ago
Oh here we got
Turn court
turning on his original opinions
Just because he remembered
that he went
visited or visited a radio station
Our colleague
Finn, Pete
who
30 under 30 Finn
Yeah he boughs you out of stuff
most weeks
He does
saves your embarrassing moments on air
Every week
Some of my biggest gaffs
Some of your own goals and gaffs
he was up on the panel
he was up on the panel there
and I said I'd go along and support him
and the head of Cam FM
was there
lovely fella
like Tilly's so passionate about rodeo
so passionate about young people
getting into radio
I genuinely felt inspired chatting with him
he was so into it
and we've had about three or four people
at Stack from Cam FM
we've come through and learnt a lot
from people like him
so I think it's worth saying
that you know at its best
I mean university not as good as well
you're in you got one down next to
which is really good
there's loads of good stuff out there
which teaches young people the basics
and gets really channels their passion
and that's a really good thing
for us it's been the lifeblood of our business really
so we've got to be
respectful of that part of it I think
yeah I mean if you want to listen to
Cam FM right now there's a show called
Don't Think Twice it's Ben and Luke
which I think is a great name for a show
Sub me in
Put me in coach
Great chat and great tunes from two best mates
Oh that's nice
That's nice
Don't think twice it's Ben and Luke
it doesn't rhyme
it sets up
so what they've done there
is they've played
on the Bob Dylan title
but you think it's going to
you think it's going to rhyme
yeah
like don't think twice
it's Johnny and Rice
or whatever
but it's not
yeah do you want to hear
some other titles
from shows on CAM FM
Alex's Hawks
don't tell the piss though
because it's a good station
Alex's Ork's takeover
as in the
orks cable
yeah nice
ear worm
that's fine
how about a little bit
of experimental music
on a show called
Paul B York
that's great
that's great
it's good
and the shows
unlike a lot of radio stations
community radio stations
all of the shows
seem to sort of
just sort of on every day
rather than having
you know a different
I'm serious yeah yeah yeah yeah so
well it's got that university
it's got that Oxbridge money baby
yeah it's what you expect from a red brick
a red brick musical and radio institution
right shall we take a short break
in chip off for a bit
and then come back and then do our thing.
Yeah, because I just saw a battery robot clunking around outside
and he wants to come in.
I don't want you anywhere near us.
No, that's not right.
What the hell is that?
I don't want you anywhere near us.
Oh, that's Blackpool manager, Ian Holloway, isn't it?
Oh, you don't want you anywhere near us?
He's not Blackpool manager now, is he?
Come on.
Former Blackpool manager.
All right.
Who the hell do you think you are?
He's swind in town now, mate.
Who the hell do you think you are?
Who the hell do you think you are?
It's absolutely disgusting.
I like the little Lee-Hock.
I have no idea that I had an Ian Hall of that.
I don't even remember putting these on.
How dare you do that.
Love it.
Absolutely love it.
Right, we'll be back in a second.
Terrible time for this to happen, Loki Moore.
Someone signed me out with the plumbing
Luke and be to your Google document.
Unbelievable.
I'm furious.
Absolutely infuriating, that is.
I'm going to type my little password in here.
There's no way you can remember a password, boy.
I can't if I don't
if I take the old caps lock off
You know a lot of people use
Shift key to access capital letters
And I've always used
Yeah I've always used a double tap of the caps lock
And people really have strong opinions
About the double tap of the caps lock
I've never understood why it's
I've never said to me feels like deviant behaviour
I'll never touch the caps lock unless it's by accident
Really? So you just use you just hold down shift
And go there you go
How weird
And maybe it's just always
been my vibe and my tribe, but I'd just, yeah, people, when they see people doing it,
like, what are you doing?
No, I'm shift ball the way, baby.
Yeah.
It feels to admit, CapSlock is a bit kind of old-fashioned now, but it doesn't really exist anymore.
Like a carriage return instead of enter.
I mean, when you press Caps lock and you start your sentence, you do have the option
to write it all in Caps.
I know, which I don't want.
I hate that.
I hate that.
I hate that.
Right, where's battery, Daddy?
Is he in?
Did you let me in?
Yeah, hang on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Battery, that battery robot is here.
Hi, battery, robot.
He's got a new catchphrase warrior, warrior, warrior.
I don't know what it means.
It's a great catchphrase.
I hope it's not offensive.
I think he's been on the dark web and that's what he's come up with.
What's he been up to?
Bachelor robot, what have you been up to?
Into the Isle of Wight.
Oh, nice.
What did you do there?
Black and trying.
Very nice.
Speaking of things,
speaking of things
that sound
that they might be offensive.
Ah, ha ha ha.
Right,
battery robot,
what have we got here?
We've got a message
from Stephen!
And I'm seeing hands
and I'm seeing batteries
so the batteries
are coming back in.
Love it.
Dear look at Pete,
out of fear of the battery
daddy not being satiated,
I would like to admit
my first battery submission.
I work at a school
in Bergamo
and came across these batteries
while inspecting a thermal temperature reader
that we were using
for an experiment.
They are branded MXD,
super alkaline, double air,
and I think they may have a chance.
I would also like to add
that I was delighted by the mention
of Bergamo in a previous episode
and particularly by Luke saying
that the Maxibon is the best ice cream around,
although my wife doesn't agree.
It's a crime.
They're not available in the UK anymore.
All the best, Stephen,
can we don't get Maxibon in the...
Because, I mean,
them being unable to import,
you know, the short distance
from France to England,
lion-focused ice cream
upsets me because I am still on the lookout for
the appearance of the Lottie companies
celebrated ice cream coolish
which is from Korea
that I've still never found
I don't know why you can't get Max Spine anymore
I love Max Spine anymore
for me it's one of the best parts of going on a European holiday
and I actually tried to find one
when I went on a football break
with Brassel about a year ago
but I couldn't find them anywhere
to be fair it was November and cold
anyway
I'm going on a
I'm going on a Brassel
sanctioned November football break
but without Brassel next week
You go to Marseille next week
I go to Marseille
yeah yeah it was very excited
until like you know
NUFC.com
or any of that's not
that's unofficial site
but the Newcastle United
website starts telling you about
what you can and can't do
while you're in Marseille
you've got to meet at a certain
plaza
and you're allowed
to drink in the certain plaza
and then you've got to go
just myself
and I'm just and you're going
and you've got to be like
basically shuttled
kettled in and
shuttled to where you need you be
and then shuttle back out again
and it's going to be a nightmare
it's going to be a nightmare.
I love that you've elected to go on your own without even bothering to invite me.
Well, there is a spare ticket, but you will have to spend what I spent to get out there,
which is an astonishing amount of money.
Why can't you pay for that as well?
What do you mean?
Why can't I pay for that as well?
Because it's not, it's hardly Christmas around the corner, is it?
It's hard of Christmas on the corner, isn't it?
Oh, okay.
Well, you can have the ticket.
You can't access it.
Thanks.
Get in your Volvo.
Get yourself one of those little, um,
Gilles that you've got to wear to drive in France and get yourself over there for crying
out loud. It's not that far away. Yeah, I can't be asked to drive. I ain't driving. I'm not driving
all over to south of France either. Fuck that.
Bonjour.
Anyway, Maxibon's. Yeah, great, great ice cream. I think if you were to do a Brexit campaign
or a kind of Remain campaign where you're like, we're going to go back into the European Union.
Yeah. And everyone that votes, yes, back into the European Union gets a free Maxibon.
I think people would be up for it. Yeah. Yeah. Fair.
Fair, okay. I think that's actually fair, yeah.
Anyway,
the battery.
MXD super alkaline.
Yes.
We're on the precipice here.
We're on the cusp of a new resurgent
battery feature because they are a brand new player.
And it's great to have an Italian battery in there.
We are back.
It's the battery Robertson, we are back.
How does it taste our battery robot?
Well, I'll ask him to gobble down.
Oh wow, it's hurt in my insides
It's gone down the wrong way
Oh, poor battery robot
He's...
Sounds like you after a Chinese
He says I
I had like a three-day curry
I bought so much curry on Saturday night
That I uh...
No, Friday night
They were still eating it on Sunday evening
Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant
That's an absolutely must mate in my view
That's a must
Because it's so much money now
That you want to get it feeding you
for the best part of a week, I think.
Simply have to.
But congratulations to Stephen
for that new player.
Great stuff.
Yeah, great stuff.
Yeah, well done.
Sarah has got in touch.
High looking Pete.
Hello, from Atlanta.
I am resubmitting these batteries
I sent earlier this year.
During the worst work trip in my life.
I feel like we need to hear more about that.
Yeah, I know.
She glosses over that.
I opened the remote in my hotel room
and found these beauties.
Here's hoping these maintenance warehouse batteries
are at least something.
Oh, excuse me.
Oh, dear.
Here's open these maintenance warehouse.
batteries are at least something good to come out of that week, Sarah.
And he's got some lovely maintenance warehouse batteries.
I've don't think I've ever seen these before, Luke.
No, a maintenance warehouse, that's presumably some kind of apartment store in the US.
It's got to be like a B&Q or something, isn't it?
It's got to be like something that sells car goods and home, stuff for your home.
Apparently it's, yeah, apparently it's owned by Home Depot.
There we go.
Why do Home Depot need a sub-brand?
No idea.
Anyway, Sarah, I mean, unless it was truly horrific
and you don't want to share it in which we understand,
if it's like just general related terrible work hydrax,
we need to hear more about your worst work week, trip of your life.
If it's like planes, trains and automobiles,
then let's hear about it.
But sadly, maintenance warehouse, they're not a new player.
You're the third person to send those in.
And if it's any consolation,
I've seen by doing a search that you also sent them in May,
even if you had sent them in in May,
you still would have been the third person to send them in.
they were sent in in 2023 and 2022 already by Stanton Smith,
the fantastic name Stanton Smith and Amy Madre.
So you're the third person to send them in,
but thank you for doing so, Sarah.
And I hope everything's much better for you at work at the moment.
Thank you.
Right.
Next on to Ben.
Hi, I look and Pete.
I hope this email finds you well.
It does.
Hopefully I have a battery entry to recharge the battery daddy,
so it lives once more.
Insert comedic laugh, Pete.
but more the likely it won't be a new entry
and it'll be another nail in its coffin
here it is in all its splendour
I give you the HW or high watt battery
for your consideration
many thanks a tired night shift worker
and ramble patron member
Ben
high watt battery HW
0% mercury
0% cadmium
as we like to see
does battery robot like
mercury and cadmium or not
People have a galleon, man.
It feeds me, but I shouldn't have too much.
Yeah, nice.
Fair enough.
A bit like us with the old beer.
Yeah, he gets a bit fighty, to be honest.
He's got some opinions in his data banks, better left, kind of, you know, wiped from memory.
But it's a, sounds like someone needs a racist defrag.
They do, yeah.
A little, hard, a little control alt delete on his little keypad might sort that out nice.
Yeah, a soft boot.
Ben, thank you for your email.
you are, I'm afraid, the 27th person to send them to you.
So that is a well-trodden path is the high what.
But it's still nice to have you taken an interest
and I hope that you get a bit of rest after your night shift.
I did an impromptu night shift last night with my son.
So I had to reschedule this recording because I was too tired to do it.
So feel your pain.
When you've dropped a little one at the nursery
or whenever he may be that day, do you, can you go straight back to sleep?
I've tried.
Can't do it.
I think I can't go back immediately.
Yeah, the Wi-Fi of access to.
The Wi-Fi Vaxis too is a bit like that.
So basically, we have a system where if I'm going into the office,
I take the boy in on the way.
Yeah.
And she'll get him ready in the morning.
That's it.
And we take Marcus out of his night nursery that he lives in.
Yeah, I'll get Marcus.
So I drop off my son.
Yeah.
Pick up Marcus in the night nursery, yeah.
Yeah.
Shove him on the back of the bike with his little helmet.
And we cycle in.
no and then on the days when i'm not going to into the office i'll get the boy ready and then
the wife i've access to will take him in right and then if it's early because the nursery opens at
730 so and sometimes he wants to walk so take him but after now to walk so sometimes she'll leave
at about seven right okay and then i'll definitely go back to back to bed for a couple hours if i'd
need to sometimes i don't need to sometimes i don't feel tired so sometimes i do i don't have a problem
i've actually been very fortunate um throughout my life really where i'm actually
very good at sleeping whenever I need to, really, generally speaking.
So I don't tend to like to sleep in the afternoon because it sends me a little bit,
just makes me a little bit overtired because I'm such a good sleeper.
Right.
So in the morning, if it's pre-kind of work hours, absolutely.
100%.
It just feels like a little interruption tonight out of the way, and then you can get back to sleep, yeah.
I guess you don't slam coffee like I do soon as I get up, within seconds.
I don't drink coffee, no.
No.
All right then, we'll be back on a Monday.
In the meantime, hello at lookingpitchot.com is.
our email address for batteries and stuff.
Let's keep this battery feature alive for crying out loud
and do spread the rumour that Marcus goes to a night nursery.
We'll see on Monday. Bye!
See ya.
