The Luke and Pete Show - The Rest is Pete’s History

Episode Date: January 15, 2026

Doth the cap fit, n all that.Elsewhere, we rate the last meals of Ivan the Terrible, Hitler and various other horrible men, and we officially dispel the myth of the WWI Christmas Day football match - and we are definitely the first podcast to work that out. Plus, disappointing curry dispatches from Indian restaurants in the US.Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: [e-mail]. Hosted on Acast.

Alan Sugar. Yeah, he's like that, isn't he? You're fired. You're fired? You're fired? You're fired? Oh, it's a load of old bloody tuk. You're fired.

Oh, I've sold a lot of rubbish in the 80s. Yeah. He was known for being... Amstrad was known for being terrible. And yet, as a youth, I didn't know. I was in an Amsterdam household, and I didn't know that Sir Alan Sugar just re-badged a load of old tut.

It's a load of old tut. It's a load of old tut. You're fired. You're fired. As far as I'm concerned, you can't sell, you're out of here. You're fired.

You can see that as I start the show if you want. I think it is the show. So that's the Loon-Pitch show. Last time we started, last time we recorded, we started the show

with you talking about using dog shit as hand-warmers. Right, it's okay. On the cold day. Yeah, that's something I do sometimes, yeah. This time we're starting with other than sugar. You've got to tighten the bags properly.

Otherwise, the poo smell comes out. I'll tell you what. It's a really good example of the, you know, the oil boiling frog experiment, which apparently is actually a myth. Like, you can't do that. Oh, you can't do that. The frog at some point goes, hang on. This is getting hot. This is getting hot. You're boiling me. People will know what I mean by the born and frog experiment. So I don't have to explain it.

Right. Well, the boiling frog experiment is a great, has a great use when it comes to the BBC vehicle, The Apprentice. A show that used to be actually quite good. And it's now a laughing stock. But if it's happened over like 16 seasons, you just accept it. And you watch it now for totally different reasons and what you watched it for before. And the guy who won the first one, that Tim guy, who's now one of the guys who sits on the side of Sugar.

Yeah. He was like, as far as I could make out, a credible kind of performer in the business world. Who's the guy who was, he used to host the apprentice? The guy who had like a pierce nipple, famously.

He's like a PVC guy. Oh, that was Dragon's Den. Host the Apprentice. Oh, Dragon's Den. Evan's Den. Evan Dando. No, Evan Dando. What's his name?

Evan Evans. Evan Evans. Good Evans. BBC. Dragons Den. Evan. Evan Davis. Evan Davis.

Yeah, my friend told me that he had a lot of tattoos and a pierced nipple. But I couldn't quite buy it. I like that. I like that straightforward BBC man who's got a bit of a, got a bit of something spicy. You should see what I do when I'm not working, baby. You should see my den. Because when we do stuff and we're not working, it's boring, isn't it? It is.

Yeah. Basically boring stuff, isn't it? Bristently boring stuff. It would be shoveling mountains of terrible stuff as those northern boys would say. What was I doing last night?

Well, I watched a football match, didn't I? Of course you did. I bloody watched a football match. I saw that those northern boys and Pete and Baz doing a podcast episode the other day

and I was like, that's not for me. That's not for me. They should be maintaining the mystique? Mm. Yeah. Well, I think the mystique

so they're basically just a lot of old men doing dirty wraps. I was showing my mum loads of Pete and Baz's videos over Christmas she was really into it. She's like,

she's like, and stuff and it's great to the old people doing it. Yeah. Yeah. But who's put them up to this? I just don't know they independently did this. But the story is, there's no one is. The story is that they... But that's what I mean, that's the story. One of them said that they bumped into the other.

I forget which one's which, anyway. And that he was the first person they had met who was also around their age who liked hip-pop music. Really? And they wanted to get into it. I don't believe that. I think you've been... I assume... I think from distance, a second-hand anecdote. I'm, I'm probably been juke.

I'm massively on board with you being duped. But what I think's probably happened is they are probably two older actors. Yes. And someone's writing that shit for them. It's too funny and it's too well observed. They're great performers, though. They're great.

Love them. When we went to go to see Charlottles, the Troxie. Right, yes. Similar vibe. Well, they didn't even if you remember, but all the adverts, all the posters around the Troxie were for Peter and Baz who would sold out the Troxie the next night. I bet.

I'd love to go to go see him. Good venue, the Troxy. It's in the middle of nowhere. Where is it? I want to say it's in Shadwell. Right. It's in the middle and no. Shadwell's proper end of the world,

kind of 28 days later, place, isn't it? I went into, when we went to go see Shalat's Troxie, I was a bit early. The pub that Brassel recommended was derelict and had been for some time, which shows you the last time.

Brassel took a pint of beer because he's a healthy liver now. So I was wandering around. I went, ducked into this kind of Irish pub. And it was, I think something like 3 pound 40 for like a pint of lager. In 2023.

Yeah. Was that what it was? Probably. It was after my son was born. Feels right. And but I'd already ordered the pint before I'd properly assessed how rough the pub was. Yeah. And it was pissing it outside.

So I stayed there as just propped up the bar and had a pint, but it's fine. People there were very nice, but it was rough. And I thought to myself, as I was leaving, I think that's the rough as pub I've been in London. I think it genuinely is and it was in Shadwell. Right. But the Troxies is a great venue. It is. Yeah.

But it's almost in. possible to get to and no one as you've already demonstrated, no one really knows what area of London it's in.

Shadow is one of those places that you can just dump a line back wherever. There's no there's no, there's no

protect, if you try and dump a line back here around Fitzroy your way. You've got to you've got to find

exactly and precisely where you need to be. Can I just say on that note, I had an absolute nightmare this morning. What did you do? Well, my routine

in the morning of a day like today is my wife gets my son the wife I have access to gets my son ready for nursery, I get myself ready and I walk him to nursery

eat your little breakfast I have breakfast when I come in I have breakfast in I always have a fruit salad when I come in yummy yummy like the wiggles there yeah

I I walk my son in then once I've dropped him off I'm then on a mission to find a line bike yeah and I cycle the line bike either all the way into here or I cycle at the Brixton

and get the tube obviously on Monday I was stuck on the tube for an hour and a half because there was that line break and I was stuck in a tunnel so that was suboptimal so that to have delayed around

by like an hour but this morning I get my son to nursery and what I should have done is I should have said to the lady runs a nursery who's very lovely can I please use the toilet

because I need to go I'm sorry to be crassily and listen to this not really my style I needed the shit right right dad your morning energy gel

I went out for a for a movie night and I didn't feel comfortable just wandering into my son's nursery room toilet and using that. First of all the toilet is really low. The toilet's really laugh. The toilets are too small. You feel like a problem. Secondly, if there was a care worker there who didn't know that I had done that, they'd be launched some kind of investigation on what child is possibly able to do that, right? So anyway, I didn't ask, I should have asked to use the staff toilet, but I didn't. Did it in the line bike

basket? No. Right. But I, but then what happened was... Who delivery coming through? This is an absolute It's a, you know, cataclysmic, you know, um, meeting of problems all at the same time. Right. I couldn't find a line bike. The first one I found a flat tire. The second one I found a flat tire.

I ended up walking about 20 minutes to find a line bike. Yeah. By which time I was desperate for a shit. This is, this is the sort of behavior that Alan Sugar would have a problem with. He'd say, you're fired. Well, why don't you give me the verdict at the end? You can be on, yeah, okay.

But by that point, I got a new pair of loposon and had a crippling blister on my heel. So I couldn't go anywhere quickly. And yeah, that is a pin and presumably, because you're hobbling, that's more jostle that your bum doesn't need at that point. I think people who saw me wandering around the kind of Tulsa area this morning

would have thought I was a man in need of some immediate attention, right? Well, there's no public toilets anymore. It's a real issue. I had to leg it down the corridor. Kick my shoes off. Yeah. And I got inside to the office.

Leg it down the corridor, my shoes on my hands, say quick hello to the lads and go straight into the toilet. Right. You didn't start going, you weren't holding your breeches, going, Oh, the story's got quite

a nice ending because I found a plaster in my bag and put that on my blister. Oh, lovely. Let me show you something

right now. You want to see the severity of this blister? Yeah. Look at that heel. What's that? Is that blood? Blood.

How are you going to clean that? It can't really see it when the shoes on. Disgusting. Is that through your sock? Yeah, let's put you my sock. I'm disappointed

the good people at Marks and Spencer as well because that's where I got these loafers from. You'd expect some quality, wouldn't you? Oh yeah. You would, yeah.

I, um, off eBay. Really? That kind of makes sense, actually. I'm not saying you should do it. No, but I'm just saying that why are the only public facilities for people

for people who need accessible toilets? I just need a toilet, accessible or otherwise. Is this because I caught you having to sit down piss that time that you're saying this? I don't think you can't be doing that. I'll happily do it.

3 a.m. Well, yeah? I don't find that it gets all the wee out. I feel like when you sit down pit, No, but you sit down piss. Right. And then I think when you stand up again... There's more piss.

Yeah. Right. And it always catches you out. So I never, ever do a sit-down piss. So you never do... What about a poo? Do you... Stand up.

What? You do a poo. Stand up, do a wee, then wipe. No. You said when you stand up, there's more piss coming out. Well, there's a combination for some reason, it's fine. Right. Yeah.

The poo's taken all of the glory. The guts and the glory. I think for far too long, we've assumed... that the toilet system that each individual person uses is fine as it is. And I think sometimes you need to be innovative. And I don't think anyone knows what we're doing behind closed doors anyway because if you've taken a number two, you're doing it on your own. I fitted a toilet seats.

Your daughter's always there when you're doing it. She is, yeah. When I'm trying to try to do away, she does try and run around and see what I'm up to. And I'm like, and I'm trying to shield myself. Do you know what I mean? My son's a bit like, my son's a bit like, what's going on here? My son's a bit like, is that coming out of your winkie, dada? Right.

That kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't really. They're inquisitive, isn't it? They are inquisive. Out of the mouth of babes. That's what it is.

At the mouth of the babes. Yeah. Out of the willies of dads. Anyway, that's enough toilet chat. What have you been doing? How's the... I'm buying radar keys. Have you really?

That's disrespectful. Are you claiming asthma as an invisible disability? Not all. I don't know why I'm not allowed. I don't know why I'm not allowed. You can't even a disabled toilet, can you? Why not? Because it's for a disabled people, Peter.

I'm just, I've been disabled by my own piss. I need a piss. It's a temporary disability. And barking station for some reason. even though it's got five. If you have more than two lines on your train station or tube station, you don't have a toilet. I think it's a disgrace this country.

A disgrace. I can remember my Scottish friend. He had come down to London for one of the first times to visit me and my friends. And we were doing this kind of mad thing you did in your mid-20s where we were going to some house party in fucking cockfosters. And we lived in Vauxhall, right? So it was like an hour and ten minute tube journey. We didn't care.

and he didn't know there was no toilets on the tube. Oh, he thought it was right. He thought... About 20 minutes and he was like, right, we should jump off at this station and go to the toilet. And we were at like, I don't know, fucking, you know,

I'd just name it, Cannonberry or something. And we're like, what? And he's like, well, he'd get off and go to the toilet. It's like, I've got to get off. I'm like, okay, so we just got off. Right. And he was like, where's the toilet?

There's no toilet. The toilet in the station. You had to go outside, yeah. I thought you had to go to a pub and fire toilet. Absolutely schoolboy era. I tell you what, though, when I was stuck on the tube for 90 minutes on Monday, it's actually 98 minutes,

but I round it down because I don't want to be dramatic. Were you lucky that you hadn't had a curry before? Well, I was sentenced to a pregnant lady. Right. And I was worried for her because obviously I've lived with and gone through pregnancy with my wife.

I know that the toilet can be a problem. I know that blood sugar can be a problem. And I was thinking, how long is this going to go on for? Yeah. So I offered her my fruit salad. Yummy, yummy. And she said, no, thank you.

She said, you want my fruit salad. The only two words that anyone said in that 98 minutes. Right. So you offered a pregnant lady of your fruit salad. Half eating? Uh-uh. Right. Good on you. Unopened. But actually, do you know what? I feel like I dodged a bullet because if you said yes, I would have then had to reveal to her that I'd lost the fork I got from threat. So she'd about to shove her hands, which would have been demeaning for a pregnant woman.

That's very good, good of you. But can I just say, she carried herself with incredible dignity as a pregnant lady? She scoffed down your fruit salad. She was actually very heavily pregnant as well. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure we need the word heavily. No, because I think it's like,

but as you know, you see people who've got up the badge. Right, yeah. And so maybe they are only just pregnant, but in the first trimester, sickness is a big issue, so, you know, you need to give a seat anyway, that kind of stuff. This was a lady who, if you saw her, you were like,

that could happen. That could happen. There was a pregnancy on a big brother, somewhere around the word, there was a big brother. And the television producer forced, forced, coerced, I don't know, paid the heavily pregnant

contestant to give birth and the two or three other contestants had to deliver the baby. That seems beyond the pale. That's a challenge, isn't it? That's a bush-trucker trial, isn't it? That seems beyond the pale. That does seem beyond the pale. I think one of them was on us, but I mean, it just seemed very,

it seemed like a very risky thing to do. I wouldn't be signing up for that. No. Can I also say that there was a story that, the um, the, um, the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, baby that was born in the Mozambique

floods of 2000. Right. So I even remember the story. He's got a famous story at the time. Um, that there were floods. There was a heavily pregnant lady

who had climbed a tree to escape the floods. Yeah. And then she gave birth up the tree. Whoa. To the baby. Jesus Christ. And then she was rescued with the baby.

The baby was healthy. It was fine. But the story was sadly, the lady, um, who was now 25 had passed away. Right. But she was, they were saying that she was the baby who was born up the tree. And speaking of babies being born in very obscure places,

wasn't the rumour that Ivan the Terrible was born on the battlefield. Right. So his mother was some kind of, I don't know how apocryphal this is and how mythical the Ivan the terrible story is, I have no idea. But I remember reading that his mum was some kind of war, warlord type thing. Right. And she went into war, heavily pregnant. she gave birth to him on the battlefield

and that was seen as a sign that he was going to be this amazing warrior. Right, okay. Because back in those days that would be a big sign, right? Yeah. There was a guy on YouTube

who does the last meals of different horrendous men. And so he'll do like your Stalin's and your Hitler's and stuff. But he did Ivan the Terrible and it didn't look off bad. It didn't look how bad, like a bready kind of thing.

Like it was his favorite meal, or their last meal? I think some of them he does last meal, some of them he does. I mean, he was on a colossal amount of barbiturates. He was, yeah, I don't think he even finished his. I think his... He's not eating. He's got a very dry mouth. No.

Hitler. The amount of drugs he was banging down. He's not eating anything, yeah, exactly. You're not going to be eating that, yeah. I think a lot of the... I mean, it's been proven, I think, time and again, a lot of the Nazi high command were just off their fucking tree. Oh, yeah.

the last days of that bunker were absolutely insane. So, yeah, I think he got, I think it was just two. One was like a fried egg, a bit of chicken and some very, very dry looking potatoes. That's not bad. Is it? Who's that for? Hitler.

Yeah, it's very German. It just looked like a bit of... It was just fried eggs and mashed potatoes. But he never actually ate it, so there we go. Maybe you just thought, that looks really dry. No. Give me a Tony Soprano. I've got a cotton mouth over here.

Tony Pran Sopranos. A lot of fried potatoes. Gandalfieldies, a lot of fried prawns, a lot of cocktails, wasn't it? Yeah. Frogger, a bit of frog on there. A bit of foggare and just loads of lovely drinks. Yeah. Not a bad end.

It was very daunting energy that. Gatnerphing last meal, I think. So I have for breakfast, man. Did you have a breakfast this morning? I haven't, uh, I've done anything. I did an handful of, um... Can't look after yourself. Think about your macros.

And full of rice. Rice snacks from the kitchen. Very good. I actually, I'm ashamed to say this. I'll say it again just for the benefit of our listeners. We get free snacks here and, uh... Free snacks here. I actually had to go down there and say,

look, can you change the coconut rings? People, it's going to be a mutiny up. People. Three weeks in, people. That's a very interesting people. Because the difference between me and you is that you will endlessly complain about something,

I can do nothing about it. No, I'll take the ball by a wall. I'll use the complaining as content. So I went down there. And I win. And I said, my boss, Pete Donaldson. Yeah. He's told me to come down here.

He's a real bad man. Yeah. He's a junkyard dog. He's asked me to change, get the coconut rings changed. What happened? Upshot today? custard creams. Is that any better?

You can't put your fingers through one on them, can you? Can't twirl it around your finger now. Can't twirl it on your finger? Could you put your finger? Maybe I could. For the next episode, I'm going to wet my, damp my finger and try and grind my finger through a custard cream.

I'll be up for that. I'll watch it. I won't be eating the remnants. Did I tell you that? Remember a while back I was talking about how I reckon the game of football played on Christmas Day in 1914 and the trenches was a myth?

Who said this? I said this. You said this. Because you'd read it. No, I hadn't read it. I'd done a lot of research into it because I was doing the World War I module in my masters.

And I couldn't find the evidence. And every one time people were talking about it. It was like, someone said this, someone said that. Well, rest his history did a special on Christmas Day. Right. And they basically confirmed it.

Confirmed that it wasn't true. It didn't happen. Oh. I was fucking delighted. What about that song by the firm? All together now. Is it the farm or the firm? The farm?

The farm? The farm. Yeah. Is that about that, is it? Yeah. In no man's land. But they did get together in no man's land. They just didn't play football.

Oh, right. Well, that's a bit annoying, isn't it? Is it not remarkable? I know you're not that particularly interested in this kind of chat, but very quickly, is it not remarkable to think about the first person to stand up and get out the trench on Christmas Day? They gamble that take. Yeah. Given that they couldn't even like cigarettes because they were getting sniped.

What first do you? What first do you, do you pull? Just like a kind of, yeah. Yeah, that emoji with the teeth. Do you go up with your thumb first? That emoji with the teeth. Yeah. I would be wearing a tinsal hat

because that would be the first thing they saw. It's a target. That is a target. No, but it's a tinsle are going, hang on, he's wearing tinsal. Something's happening here. Because apparently as well, the guys on that Rest of History show,

which I love, was saying that a load of people in one particular regiment who were holding a line near a village or something, they got a hold of a pig and they killed a pig and they started roasting it and all the British and German

guys were eating it together? A little pig, yeah. So you're getting tinsal and you are, because they were often famously offering out cigarette. My furet is enjoying fried eggs. It wasn't the furor then,

it's the first world war. Oh, sorry, yeah, yeah. Be the Kaiser. The Kaiser. The Kaiser. The Kaiser. The de Kaiser is enjoying two fried eggs.

Yeah. But he's not though, is he? Because that was Hitler. I think that people can enjoy fried eggs. They should. They should enjoy Friday. I think anyone, anyone in the

the Weimar Republic in the third Reich everyone should be enjoying and previous the Prussian whatever they were doing they should all be enjoying Friday eggs

welcome to the rest of history imagine if we did the rest of history with my memory of things my memory in school the fried eggs would be my probably my third

preferred method of eggs uh yeah I do like a poached yeah I poached Scramble is the goat. Omlet?

Yeah, I like it. But I think you're an omensens a different thing. Yeah, it's not an egg preparation, is it? It's a meal. My son literally walked into the room the other morning, woke me up. Oh, no, what was it? He said. I can't remember the detail.

But anyway, someone asked him a really funny, like a really serious question. And he just said omelet. Right. He loves omelets. Has he ever walked in the room and asked for a long egg? No, he hasn't. And that should be top of our tree.

That was a look and peach show. That is a very genesis. But I don't like a hardboard egg. I divert from George Orwell on that. I don't like a hardboard egg. I don't find them appetising at all. Was it George Arwell who's really annoyed about his own? I was awesome.

I think it was George Orwell who's obsessed with how small his nose was. Was it? I think so. I'm going to Google a picture of George Orwell. No one on earth has got a different, a more different opinion between soft board eggs and hardboard eggs than me. Softball eggs love them. Yeah. Hardboard eggs, no way.

Massive change. You can't get into him. No. Not appetising to me at all. Yeah. Orson Wells, it was Orson Wells. It sounds like an awesome Wells thing.

Tiny little nodes. There was a really brilliant video doing the rounds the other day of Awesome Wells on some chat show where he just gets goaded into becoming Falstaff. And he just does it and it's fucking amazing. It's like seven minutes of Falstaff. He does it. He's on a chat show and he just turns into him.

Yeah. It's amazing. Sarah's having to do a, she's joined a theatre troupe. And she's having to do a monologue for an audition. And she's, she's, in recent memory, she's only done a couple of, uh, she was in the few good men,

weren't she? Few good men, and, uh, the crucible. And they're not particularly strong monologues. So she's having to sort of, I said,

just pick one out of breaking bad. Yeah. Breaking bad. I know, I know, that's not really a very long monologue. No. That's not a very long one.

Who needs it? I would go with Daniel Day Lewis. Right. Yeah? I drink a milkshake. Not that one. My left foot. Yeah, not that one.

Maybe the... Bald. Yeah, his body is bold. Yeah. What would be a good... Oh, God, more to do? What about Bill Pullman in Independence Day?

Hey? Come on. That'll be fun to see. That's a problem, Marcus Speller ever speaks that. He'd be all over that. I would be surprised of Marcus said that's his favorite moment in movies. It's a bit too American.

Yeah. That's a good point, actually. We should not do a bit of Henry V. Once, once the breach, dear friends, once more. We'll load up the walls with our English dead. Yeah, I don't know what she's going to go for in the end, but I'm sure she'll figure it out.

Anyway, all right, let's have a break. All right. We've got no batteries this week, though, so no battery robot. That's okay. We'll come back, maybe do an email, will we? Yeah, it's good, it's good, because I don't have the button in here to do the battery. What are you talking about?

I mean, sorry. But he hasn't been invited today. He hasn't been, he's asleep. Yeah, he needs his battery, his batteries. He's having an MIT. Yes, yeah. A quick fit. Harnick at my car, blood,

welcome back to the little Pete show. when's your, when's your, it's a new car, you won't need a, you won't need a, you want to need it? Don't need it, yeah. Driving around in there, driving around a limo, aren't I? I don't need it. Although,

did get a disappointing message from it the other day. Yeah? About the windscreen washer fluid, so. Empty. Yeah, I'm, I am. Can you? I'm heavy on that. I wash the wind screen every time I get in the car.

Yeah, I'm quite, I'm quite, because it's just constantly dirty. Yeah. Scratched. In London, it's terrible for that. Absolutely filthy. Yeah, what it's fascinating is when the Sahara Desert, the sand comes over.

Right. Doesn't seem real, does it? What do you mean? In London, we get the Sahara Desert sometimes, don't we? Do you actually? Yeah. What, it just gets a bit dusty? You've seen it?

Yeah, I guess I have. On some kind of thermal and it gets blown all the way over here. Let's have a lot. Let's see what my problems are going to be for this one. What, for your MIT? for the limo-t. I think I've replaced all the wheel, so that's absolutely fine. But, yeah, I just,

yeah, the last MOTives, you're talking about something about the, some shaft. I'd see. Some shafed. Stinks of cigarettes. Is it still a cigarette?

I'm going to ask you by that because we're trying to move house at the moment. We looked around a house the other day and it absolutely stank of cigarettes and I was thinking to myself who do I know

that's been involved in that kind of situation that would be able to tell me how long it takes for that smell to dissipate and I thought you with your car. It's that ionic thing that you've got to use

a little ionic. You can use this ionic machine that gets rid of all of that or... Bin paint. It's called B-I-N paint, isn't it? Bin-Paint.

Yeah, so in a house, you can use this stuff called bin-paint. It's B-I-N. It stands for, I don't know what it stands for, actually. So it's not, I've just reading it here, known for its adhesion to difficult services and for blocking tough stains and odors, including smoke, nicotine, and others. Yeah.

I see. So you can do that. But I was wondering how long it's taken for your cigarette smell, your car to disappear. No, it's been It's pretty much gone To be honest It's pretty much gone

I mean Looking at the last MOT I mean The main problem is Oil leak But not excessive It's a little bit of oil Come up with

Do you have to change the filter or something Actually It could be coming out of anywhere It's very old car But There's the others These are only monitor And repair if necessary

I passed but still Offside rear Child Seat Not allowing full inspection Of adult belt Pathetic That is pathetic MOT

All right So you've got a child seat in this so they can't check the seatbelt. Yeah, they do it every time. Take it out. Takes five seconds. They should take it out and put it back again. They should take it out and put it out.

But would you trust a member of the public that you don't know to fix a child seat for you? Well, if they're worried about this plane, there's playing my steering rack in a joint, they should be able to refit. When I first tried to put a child seat in the car, it was like trying to solve a Rubik's cube. Yeah.

Now, over Christmas just gone, I must have taken mine out and put it back about six different times in the different cars. Yeah, but presumably you've got a, you've got the Laisal fix something. you? No. No. You've got no ISO fix. No, seatbelt. You'll have ISO fix in the car. I've chosen not to use an ISO fix. Yes, I see. Right. Okay. Why is that? Um, because I don't want to spend 300 quib for another car seat. Okay. Right. Fine. Fine. And because the one we had before in the old

German whip, the ISO fix, it was basically a sports car. Right. And the ISO fix was in the bottom of the seat. No, no, but it's just, you know, like a bucket seat. Yeah. It's angled up. Right. So you put the car seat in. Flopping around. And the baby's just leaning forward so you couldn't use it. So we changed it

and I'm not changing it back again. Anyway, let's do an email. Okay, Paul's been in touch. Okay. He says, you guys had a rant about Gordon Ramsey recently

and we're talking about Indian spice choices and so I wanted to get in touch because this is how Indian restaurants are in the US. So what I was talking about was the episode

of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares i.e. the best flower on the wall series of all time in this country. The particular episode was the Curry Lounge in Nottingham where they were essentially letting people build their own curries.

And Ramsey was apoplectic about it. Yeah. And Ramsey obviously doesn't know how to cook Indian food properly. So we got his mate from like a Michelin Star Place up in London to go down there and talk to them. And anyway, Paul is saying you can do you can do this in every Indian restaurant in the US. You can have a hot corma or a mild Vindaloo. It is absolutely mental. All I want to do is order a dish and have it come out with the appropriate spice level.

Mild corma, spicy madras, etc. It's infuriating when they ask me what spice I want, one to five. I just always say, as it should be, which is quite a passive-aggressive. Yeah, I think so. And I'm always greeted with a blank face and have to choose. This is an extension of the American lots of choices in restaurant's theme.

How would you like your eggs? How would you like your coffee? What kind of toast, etc. Give me a menu with two things on it. I can choose then, not pages and pages of stuff. You think I'd be used to this after 25 plus years, but no. When I visit England, it's a relief to get what is dished up

instead of substitutions and variances. Anyway, happy new year, love the pod. Paul, interesting because that's obviously to me probably an extension of the amazing service you get in the US. Right, okay. Like, what, you sort of ordering off menu, effectively? Well, he's saying that they give you so much choice

because the customer is always right and because the service industry is so geared towards pleasing people in the US that that's just an offshoot of it. But then you sometimes get those kind of like Dick's Last Resort, Karen, sort of restaurants where people are rude to you. You pay them to be rude to you.

Do you like that? I like it. It's the close I get to S&M. It's not close you get to that. When the Wi-Fi of accident, first move to the UK, she was, like, in hysterics, laughing about how you're treated in shops

and how you're treating in restaurants. She would regularly say to me, it's like their friend they were in here. Like, what are they... I take it to like an, even like a nice restaurant. And they'd be so matter of fact in their kind of service. And in the... And then you come back and...

Pretty woman them. But in the shops, I just ignore you. Which I quite like. I'll go up if I need something. I don't really bloody bothered. But in the US, it's straight over. I went into a DIY shop last week and I was just, I was just waiting for my car

to get fixed. DIY's a bit different, though, because you need a bit of help, don't you? Not really. I mean, I know what I want, but I was just wandering around. And I said, do you want, do you do anything in particular? I was like, I said, I'm just, I said, I'm just moaching. He said, what? I think it was Mark, mooching.

Right. He went, what? I went, mooching. So you were just having a nice old time. I was a nice old time in the DIY shop while my, well, my, um,

oxygen sensor got fitted. Were you seduced to, seduced into purchasing anything? I bought some, uh, I bought some cement, yes. Did you,

you bought a small bag of cement to, to, uh, to fix a point of post. No, keep them walking past the post. Got,

that needs to be fixed. I've got, I've got a bigger fish to fry. I've got a saw, what a fish? I got a saw, Sarah's caught. Well,

you're doing that? And I've got it. And I've, I've got a switch for a child broke. I can saw, I just can't tie the little knots that start and end. So I've got to just double saw everything. Have you got a sewing machine? No, no.

I've got one of these little hand things that are supposed to be like a sewing machine. I've lost it. I've just got so much tut in my house. I can't find the things that I bought that would be actually quite useful. I knew where they were. Yeah. That's exactly how I imagine you. I've not obviously been invited to your house,

but I imagine your house to be like. Yeah. Will you come to my new house when I move? Yeah, I will. I'll do some... I'll do what you could do. I'll do an upper decker. You could...

No, I don't want that. You could help me with my home studio set up though. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you planning having a bit of... Are you planning on having a bit of a space for Lucie? Listen, here's the rub. I'll have no money left.

So what spares have you got to give me? A lot of pods and sods have you got, yeah. Maybe I could rip out mine and sort of add... I've installed a telly now into the wall that I could potentially take down for a bit more room, but... Oh, have you? Yeah, a nightmare there.

But I need to get a new set up when I move house, obviously, so I need to do something. If I've got any money left, that would be good. I had so much time to put up, like, I made like a couple new walls, a little doorway for the door, and I just had days to do that when we moved in. Days.

I don't even have the time to rip it down. No, so I know what you mean. Terrible. What I'd really love is, you know, those kind of three monitors where the two on the side are angled. Right. A monitor in the middle.

Formula One setup. Yeah. Can I get that? Yeah, can't. Pretty pretty... I think we've got a couple of monitors kicking around. You could probably stick on the side.

I gave you them! You know, I think we still got one. I think we still got a couple. I think we ditched a few of them. No, I want ones that will fit together like a big panoramic screen. Would I have course to use that? Just get yourself a spare long monitor.

You get a spare long one, I know there. How long? I don't know. I mean, how wide? 21-9 ratio, I'd say. That's the dream That's the dream That is the dream

A little A little game of elite Oh that'd be great FOV No Yeah the FOV on PubG 125

Oh Yeah See backwards So if I Does help me understand this If I'm playing PubG Yeah If I

If I get a really wide Screen Yeah I can see more Yeah Is it not just squashing it And extending The same picture

Though No Because you can tell A computer To give you a bit more It gives a bit more That's why I'm not winning.

That's why you're not winning. You haven't got eyes in the back of your head. That's a real game. That could be a real game changer for me. You've only got one set of eyes, Lou. But the PubG thing's died of death because the two of the lads in my squad were playing on PS4s. And it's been discontinued. Has it?

Really? Yeah, it's turned it off a few months ago. So still waiting for them to step up. Anyway, all right, Pete, let's get out of here. Let's get out of you here. We'll be back leaking with oil. Same time on Monday. So look after shells.
