The Luke and Pete Show - Too Stinky for Press-Ganging

Episode Date: May 25, 2026

Luke’s been on the health supplements and Pete’s feeling gassy on account of his mānuka honey and apple cider vinegar consumption. Maybe that’s why he reckons his stink would save him from nineteenth-century naval press-ganging.Elsewhere, conversation turns to Luke’s new house and the adjustments needed, but not before Pete shares a truly horrendous nugget of information (?) about the bums of terrorists.Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: [e-mail] Luke and Pete Show is the sometimes ridiculous, always funny podcast with Luke Moore and Pete Donaldson: two men who have time on their hands and a good idea of how to waste it.

Oh, it's the Luca Peach Shoppy Donaldson with you. Joy by Mr. Lukiemo, Lukie Buer. I do not mind admitting that I am rather gassy at this moment in time. So look out for that for the rest of the half an hour we've got with each other. I was looking for a catch-up. Well, you haven't seen you for ages. I know. I know.

I've recently gotten into a heady brew of manuka honey and apple cider vinegar. I keep a bottle by the door. but it's a dough I do frequent quite a lot so I am just glugging back huge globs of huge mouthfuls of Manuka Honey and Apple Side of Iniga I bought it in a chemist

What's the reason for this sudden change in lifestyle? I like the taste of it People say it's good for you I've yet to On the Manuka Honey You're back on the old fashion TV money are you? What's that? Manuka Honey

What do you mean? The fashion TV? even. Manuka honey is one expensive. Is it really? Right. Well, when it's mixed with apple side of vinegar, maybe they don't have used quite such nice stuff.

Oh, it's one product. It is one product together, yes. Manuka honey and that mixed together. And it makes a lovely... I'm thinking about having some more now. I can't stop glugging it. I've got...

I just... I can't stop glugging apple side of vinegar. I'm going to have... What are the purported health benefits? I don't know. Either way, there's going to be some kind of intervention made by one of my family members because this is untenable.

Apparently it's got... probiotic and blood sugar balancing properties and soothing antibacterial benefits. Yeah, that feels, whenever they start with like antibacterial benefits and gut health, all I can hear is a duck doing a big quack, quack, doing it just, it just sounds, it just sounds a little bit too good to be true, it just sounds a little bit like it's not been studied properly, it just sounds a little bit tie-dye for my liking. I hate to see it. It is a bit, it is a bit.

I'm on the heights at the moment. I've started the heights. What? The Hawthorne Heights, the emo band, the supplements, right? What's that? The supplement, yeah. Right. What's that?

I mean, your hair's looking fantastic. Your moustache's looking full. I need a haircut. It's so thick. It's not going to do with the heights. It's awesome. I realized the day before I moved house, so those of you don't know, I was absent off some shows and we pre-recorded some stuff because I was moving house.

Right. And I realized the day before I was moving house that I booked. a haircut on the day I was moving house. Yeah. I was like, fuck, I can't do that. Well,

you could have had a conversation and I know exactly how that conversation would have went or would have gone. What do you mean? Like, sorry, can we stay in this flat

because I need to get my hair cut? Forever until I get my hair cut. Yeah. So I basically cancelled it. Right. And I haven't rebooked. So that's what the hair's looking particularly buffin.

Why can't you just keep on going? But there's nothing to do the heights. But the heights are five days in a row. Come on, do it. Yeah, I know. I know.

I bet I'll do that to Pompeyman 5 in the row. Fucking hell. I'll be like one of those hermits. But the heights, I'm about five days into the heights, and I feel like it might be psychosomatic, but I am feeling the benefit of it. Right. Less achy, right.

Rested. Okay. The heights is just loads of different vitamins and minerals and supplemental kind of, I guess like, I don't know, shit you need. Odden sods. Is there any mushrooms? Is there any mushrooms?

Is there any mushrooms? Mushroom. This is quite in vogue for a little while, wasn't it? Lions main. Lions main, that's the one, isn't it? Amugala. I'm trying to get on top of my asthma and failing, but I've basically, I've given up on modern medicine,

because my asthma's bad and I can't breathe, so I've started just taking anti-histamine and see if that fixes things. And I am... Certainly making me sleep, yeah. It's not making me... Not giving me any pep in my step, but... You still need to breathe in your sleep, mate.

I still need to breathe in my sleep, And also, I've stopped drinking them. I've not had a monster in, oh, two weeks now, I think. Oh, how's that going? I'm feeling the health benefits, my look. I'm feeling more alert. How do you feel? What's the difference?

I'm just drinking black coffee now, which, um, why is there not, why are there not calories in black coffee? Do you just shit them out? Is that why, why is there no energy in, in the chemical makeup of it? Very strange. I mean, it's ultimately, it's obviously going to be, it's basically water, isn't it, with some grains in it? You said that well, beer, couldn't you? And look how many calories are in that?

No, but that's a fermentation process and sugar and stuff, isn't it? I'm going to keep telling. Yeah, it's the sugar, definitely. I did that. I'm going to tell people that myphysearch is isotonic, and it's very low calories as well. Yeah, do that. To make a load of claims about myepidiant,

just to shift as many units as possible. Yeah. And they were deal with the fallout later. I'm going to be like that man, in Django and Shane, just moving town to town, just sort of, you know, some, some frontier quackery. You just, yeah, just, well, I mean, people do it nowadays with like drop shipping and stuff, don't they?

And not all that. They still do the same thing, don't they? The sort of stuff you'd see. What are the parts of the internet? Well, they just sell stuff in Infowars, you know, all of like the big cans of food and, and, uh, and tablet and stuff like that, I'm supposed to make you feel, but basically the stuff that you just bought.

And, and the stuff that I'm drinking. Um, and then they just, and then if it works or it doesn't work, who knows, and then they just move on to another product that they've found. Some more dust. What I mean is, I like the idea of you getting involved in some kind of bar room brawl in Leon C. Then coming back from that and next morning doing a kind of like a no country for old men where you say to your, to your missus, look, we've got to go. We've got to go. I am persona and glattar in SS9.

Yeah, you go to your mothers. I'll be in touch. Stay close to the landline. you just stick a bag on your back and off you go to, I don't know, horse church or whatever. I'm off to, I'm off to, I'm off to, I'm off to, I'm off to, I'm off to Shubrey Ness.

Yeah, that's the end of the line, isn't it? That's the end of the line. So you get trouble there, there's nowhere to go. I'd have to join, I'd have to join the armoury, the naval armory down there. I'd have to run, go off to sea. Yeah, you could, I mean, that's what used to happen as well, wasn't it?

I remember listening to a, what was it? It might have been Brian Blessed's Who Do You Think You Are? I watched it actually and it was about how his family

were all from Portsmouth which obviously piqued my interest and apparently back in the day Portsmouth was based the London of the UK because so much was around shipping and the Navy

and stuff like that and people used to flock there and particularly if they wanted to get out of trouble wherever they were jump on a ship see you later and some people were

press gangs in the Navy and maybe weren't they. When was that? I was in the walls, wasn't it? That was when it was conscriptions. No, I'd wait before that.

Oh yeah, sorry, no, no, yeah, I'm trying to fend booze. Yes, and you'd wake up, you'd have a bit of rum in a bar, get knocked on the head, and you wake up on a,

on a, on a, on a board. I mean, it doesn't force you to do anything, does it? I said, I'm not doing, you basically carry a dead way.

I'm going, I'm going to make this really fucking hard for them. I'm going to make this, I want to be so recalcitrant here. Yeah. They're going to wish they never bothered with me. You don't know how stinky I could be.

I could be real stinky, I could be really stinky, I get 50 lashes, yeah. I get 50 lashes. Yeah, but that would release more of the stink. Don't try and break my blood stinks. Don't try and, you know, get any out of my back because it'll stink of his place. I'm like a skunk.

Stigin monster. Especially when cornered. Do you know that like the more severe punishment was, to say you've got 50 lashes, that would be on your back, right? Keelhold. I think that was, you're going way back now. I think that was death basically, wasn't it?

That's death. Well, when they're fling you over, they sort of tie you to the boat and then rotate you, yeah, yeah. But you know, sometimes they would administer the lashes and they would say 50 lashes, right, he gets 50 lashes. And if it was really bad, they'd say, give him 50 lashes as a boy, and that means you got it on your bum.

Nice, okay. Would that not be, I guess, would that not be easier on your bomb? Because you've got more. don't they say with suicide bombers the bombs are always intact that's what I read what do you mean I read when suicide

bombs blow themselves up invariably the fleshy more absorbent shockwave-wise part of your body is your bum-bum so your bum is always if you're a suicide bomber your bum remains you know I don't know how you could have read that

who is reporting who is reporting that I can't remember I'm fairly certain I read that so terribly sorry to say that you Your son's been radicalised. Turns out he was behind the suicide bombing. Would you like to identify him? Slap. It's not happening.

It's not happening. There's no way. They were reported that ever. That's not been reported. He wouldn't have like this, would he? Wouldn't like this. Religious fundamentalist. Wouldn't like that.

Getting his body spank, would he? Oh, I'm kissing his bomb. Yes, that's how we're starting this show. Me. It's just a bomb on the table. consensual bum bum kissing on a suicide bottle so we're starting the show

stick that in the clip stick that in the clip Bruno it is new chrieve for us isn't it? Is it attracting new listeners? Do we want it? No, we don't.

We don't want any new ones. The ones we like a fine We can barely handle them. It's like you've got eight cats. Do you want two more cats? No. The place is a madhouse.

No. It's not like they'll look after themselves. Speaking of that, obviously we've moved house. The boys have had to get used to a new environment and there's a cat next door.

Oh, wow. Are they sort of popping over with some flowers and a, you know, a little gift basket or a cup of sugar or something? What's annoying me is the cat next door keeps coming into our house and our cats aren't stopping it. Because they don't think it's their house right now, I guess. Maybe they're not familiar. But they're just sitting there watching it. Like, well, it's not my house, ma'er.

You look after your own dog. Well, they act like it's their house. Oh, fantastic. You'd think there'd be a big old fight. Yeah, you'd think there'd be a big sort of turf war, like, I don't know, West Side Story or something, but no, it's absolutely fine. So I'm going to have to have a turf war with my neighbours instead?

Well, have you met any of your neighbours then? Yeah. You're in your house and stuff. All very pleasant. Yeah. Did any of them turn up like mine did with a can? A can of beer for me? No.

Someone baked cookies for us, which is very nice of them. That's very nice. But it's a kind of neighbour. May I say middle class? Yeah, exactly. But it's the kind of neighbourhood where they're bringing cookies around, but you know they're going, right, let's just check out what these lot are like. Yeah.

Because they better be a nice family, they're not going to fit in. But what if they're weed cookies? That misses out there. What if they're absolutely bifter monsters and they put a little something something in them and you're out of your bloody tree? That explains why I haven't unpacked. When you've got that as... And I keep seeing cats.

I keep seeing new cats arrive. There's nobody there. Yeah, that's why. You're still in the old house. I'm outside. I'm with the back gun doing kung fu. Shadow kung fu. Oh, how's it going then?

So what things need to be fixed that Daddy Donaldson needs to get involved with? Is that you or your dad? Stewie can barely walk. Daddy Donaldson, you or your dad? I'm Daddy Donaldson. When we're on holiday, this woman around the pool, she's a bit much, if I'm honest.

I don't, I couldn't get with her talk about. In what way? Very vocal at like 10, the morning. He sort of sat there and she's walking around going, Hello, Mr. Daddy. She kept calling me Mr. Daddy. Hello, Mr. Daddy.

Where's she from? I presume Greece, but she had a very deep voice. I'm not sure he could do the voice. But she looked like Steve Van Zant. Is it Steve Van Zant? Yeah, he looked like, yeah, he looked like, yeah, I've mentioned Steve. Yeah, okay, I'm really building.

In a baseball cap and sunglasses, she sounded like, she sounded like him. How old? And had the sort of like, meh, meh, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of mouth and she said, hey, hello, Mr. Daddy. And she would just be, and people would be trying to, like, get, like, 10 a.m, 11 a.m. glasses of wine around the pool. And she, Greece. And she would.

Yeah. And she, and she, and. I need a detail. Sorry. I need the detail to be annoyed that I keep interrupting you. But I need the detail to know what you're talking about. All inclusive. Resort.

Resort. Inclusive. Somewhere in Greece. Somewhere. Somewhere in Greece. It's mainland. not know where um it's all much of a much just on location unknown i've gone off grid um and and and people are just trying to get you know can i get a couple of beers or you know a couple

wines or something she's going two wines they're shouting it so everybody can hear and everyone like you mean sarah mean sarah look at each other on oh oh but um uh yeah yeah where we I can't remember. I'm tired. So, they were, they were there. So you said,

when you were on holiday, you first of all started asking about my neighbours. Yes. And what they were like and how I've settled in. Yeah. And I started to answer that. And then you asked me loads of questions about hash cookies. And then you started talking about your holiday.

And that's where we are now. That is, I mean, to be fair, that is, if we had a running order for the, for the shore, that's probably how it would go,

one would suggest. I didn't even know you'd been on holiday. Right. Okay. I definitely know you'd move to us. That's right. I was offering my kind of service as a DIY. Yes, so, Danny Donaldson.

Yeah, I didn't know that was you or Stewie, but that's you, is it? Okay, no, it's me, it's me. Okay, fine. And also, whenever I say Stewie now, I think of the character Stewie in succession, which your dad is nothing like. Look, there are a few snags that could benefit with some professional intervention. I'm not sure you are the one to intervene in those, but I would like a bit of skirting board fixed.

I would like some double glazing put in a couple of rooms. That might be a bit too high. The water pressure improved. Right. And I'd like some light fittings hung, please. I can do that bit. I can do the light fittings. The water pressure, can you just put a brick in your tank or something?

Make the water heavier. That's not willing to do the business. Make the water heavier somehow? Haven't even got a tank. Pump it, pump it up. Apparently you can buy a boost for your water pressure. a boost for you water pressure that sucks the water out of the pipes and fires them into your face. So what, so where does the water, I presume the water pressure manifests itself in a dribbly shower?

Well, because we've got, it's a three-story house. Right. And our bathroom's on the top floor. Right. And so the water is, but the thing is, I don't really know, yeah. I haven't really worked it out because I don't know whether it's just that our last place, the water pressure was outstanding, which it was. And whether I'm overreacting is a little transition period.

I mean, I can have a shower fine. And I'm certainly not going to pay like, if someone comes and says, yeah, I'll do that for you, you might be so it costs you a grand. I probably won't do it. That feels like even more than a grand. I haven't got any money now because I'm new house. But there's a couple of snacks, like I say. I mean, the thing is the one thing that probably does need to be done is that the main bedroom

and the living room do not have double glazing. Right. Okay. Which is an oversight on my part. I didn't, when I came to look at the house the second time, I forgot to do. check that. And I think when you're paying the thick end of what I paid for this,

you just assume, don't you? In 2026, you just assume everything's double glazing. But it's an old house. It's an 1890 house, so. Right. Okay. Yeah. But other than that, very happy. I'm in the top, in the office, right the top of the house. Nice view. How's the Lintels? Crystal Palace

mast from here. How's the Lintels? Lintels are fine. Well, everything's kind of a skew because it's an old house. Because, because it's so old. I mean, we can talk about that now if you want. I had a big,

a big sticking point around the house move because some people by my house were kicking off about lintels and it was driving me to distraction. But now the, the, uh, the, uh, the, the, uh, the,

the, uh, the, litters are binding. You saw what you are now. Yeah, okay. Yeah, the lintels were fucked. He used to, they were, he used to have a dartboard,

uh, in the lintel and he would, and he would shout, 180 when he threw a dart at the lintel. Yeah. That was his favorite thing to do. I used to, um, I used to say to everyone,

come round to mine for the summer party, we're going to play Jenga with the lintels. Yeah, we're going to hit them like piñatas, but with lump hands. Do you think people listening to know what a lintel is? It's a bit on your bit underneath and above your window, I suppose, isn't it?

Keeps everything in check. Keeps the bricks from falling down. Yeah. Because they'll do that. The bricks will fall down. I actually went past it all for like the other day, and it was all still standing. That's absolutely fine.

It's okay. But other than that, I'm very happy to be here. The boys adjusted well. We just had some wardrobes delivered. I had a bit of a funny one because they were supposed to be delivered between 7am and midday today. Right. And the guys finally rocks up at like quarter past 12. And I thought, okay, there is a grace period here.

Yeah. But I paid 60 quid for delivery. Right. And I stayed in. Yeah. And you've not done what you said you're going to do. Yeah. That is a direct refund.

That's a 60-quid refund, surely. So I asked for that. And I just got an instant chat message back from the operator saying, that won't be possible, sorry. And it just said, and it just said ACASH, or whatever his name was, has ended the chat. Right. Do you want to get back on with ACASH then?

It's all AI now. You don't speak to managers. I don't really know how to, you used to be able to only get good tech support. or product support when you used to tweet, sub-tweet people on Twitter. That was the only way

you could get reasonable services. But I don't know how to do it now. Do you know what's quite funny? You know who's a fact? You know Michael Cox of Zonal Marketing fame? Yes. So for those listeners,

you don't know who Michael Cox is, he is a football writer and he specialises in tactics, very successful. We've got a couple of best-selling books, and he is a friend of mine, and he's very good and a nice fellow. He is obsessed with famous people

complaining to companies publicly on Twitter using their Twitter clout to get an answer. Right, yeah. And he always Twitter searches it and sends me screenshots of people who've done it. And I replied something kind of probably something witty and acerbic knowing me to him on WhatsApp saying, this is getting a bit of an obsession now. You want to calm down. And he tried to do it to me. Right.

Okay. And the only thing he could find was me complimenting the company Senheiser for their excellent customer service. You're not getting the free fucking remote speaker sunshine Complimenting British Airways for upgrading my cabin That's all you can find Oh come on

That's a lovely one But you've already had the Because that goes directly against what you think of me Yeah well I mean I guess you've already You've already enjoyed the sweet treat You're not getting on the you know You're not getting taken off the You're already on the list aren't you

So that's pretty good I suppose I've not used my clout is what I'm saying I've not used my perceived cloud to complain That's true And I think that goes directly against what you think of me, Peter. Right. No, yeah, but you're more of a direct can I have kind of email, I would say. You reckon?

Yeah, I think you sort of email people sort of go, can I have one of them for a bit? Can I borrow this? Can I borrow a bit skirt and board? Can I borrow a lintel remover from machine marked, please? Also, what do you think of this then, right? So, and this is going to belie my working class. credentials, but it's not my decision. I mean, I've obviously moved into this house

a couple of weeks ago. It's not, no of this is my choice. Yeah. We've inherited a house where the ground floor is wooden floors and shutters rather than curtains. Right, yeah, okay. I'm not really into it. What do you mean? You're what, in the front room, you've got I think I'm a carpet curtains guy.

Right, so you've got wooden floors and yeah, but like, do you cast up pay everywhere? cozy, mate. Doesn't feel very cozy. Did you get yourself a big L-ship sofa? Or one of those big sofas that look like a big gorilla you get off Ali Express? Yeah, I'm probably not going to do that.

Can I interest you in a fuck-off TV in a soundbar? From the good people at Senheiser. I've got too many TVs. I've got one in the kitchen, one in the living room, one up here in the office. Here's a little hack for it. Donald Trump, constantly watching Fox News. People will like this.

This is actually a really good hack, right? So our internet is provided by Sky. Okay. Perfectly reasonable service. Yeah. Too expensive, but they do a broadly okay job. I'm sure there's better options out there. I won't. I'll sit on here instead.

But I've been accustomed to there for like 20 years, and I can't be asked to change. It's the age old story. So I get the TV through them, and I get the broadband through them. And I think at one point in the past, it used to be better value, but it certainly fucking isn't now.

Anyway, I called them up and said, I've moved from a flat to a house. I need to get good internet because of work. Can you sort me out? I want some broadband boosters, right? And then when the lady came to install the TV, she was like, oh yeah, you'll definitely need boosters because the house is bigger.

So I've got one in the van, you can have it, right? All right. I said, all right, thanks. And she said, but you'll probably need two, but I've only got one in the van. So call them up and ask for one, right? And so I called them up, and I said, can I have a broadband booster box, please?

And they said, yeah, that'll be 50 quid. I'm like, well, I'm not paying 50 quid for it. You know what I mean? I'm already paying you like the thick end of a $200, month, right? I wouldn't actually use the stuff I've, I've, um, I've, um, paid for. And you also guarantee a certain amount of connection in the house, right? In the house. They all do that now, don't know.

They all guarantee that certain speed. Yeah, okay. I mean, that's a big boss. What have you had a particularly, what have you lived in the, um, in, in the BT tower? It's a big question. It's a good question. I've considered that. Anyway, so, so I'm not paying that.

I've got broadband booster right here, mate. Ooh. I just, it's like a plug extension. I mean, to be fair, I mean, there's only one half of it. I don't know why they're off-scar. Basically, that's what the Sky guy was saying. But here's the hack for you, right? What you want to do is you want to check out the SkyQ mini boxes.

If you've been a Sky TV customer for as long as I have, they'll give you mini boxes around your house. Oh, so if you ask to get, if you... And they also work as broadband boosters. Right. They're Wi-Fi boosters. Right. So you get one and then for free.

Exactly. So I put one of those in the kitchen for free, and I thought, well, I might as well, just hook a TV in there up to it, because I'm using it anyway. And I've got a TV up in the loft, so I just fucking connect with it. And then they'll just, um, they'll work for the next six months that, um, sky exists, I imagine. Because, uh, what's happening? I don't know, I just can imagine, I can't see it lasting for much longer.

It just can't. Sky? Sky, it's crazy. Why would you mean? Who's watching it? Who's watching it? They've got a lot. I know they've got lost customers.

They've got 10 million customers. I don't know. I just think that I just, I don't know what it is anymore. I don't know what's on there. By the way, do you know what I think it really pisses me off, right? Mm-hmm. Is we pay 130 quid a month for TV, right? Yeah, yeah.

It's wild, right? Yeah. And you just get to serve advert after advert after advert. And I think to myself, we do a lot of content and we give an ad-free model for like five quid a month. Five dollars a month. Yeah. I'm not saying

they're comparable products, but like we don't actually take the piss out of people. But you're bombarded with adverts with Sky these days. Yeah. Well, look, I mean, as I was saying to my mate,

Sky GiggaFast Plus is here and that's good news for us here at the Football Rambl. Because when we're not watching football, talking about football or argument about football, some of us are partial a bit of online gaming. How well have we got an advert at the moment? Speeds up to 5 gigabats per second, meaning we can experience next level gaming.

What I like about adverts for it, that's a great company. That's a really good, just excellent company. And I do, I do think that there's lots to watch up sky, actually. Ignore what I said before and actually there is. No, that's an all advert. They're not sponsored us for a little while. Possibly to do with the content? Possibly do with listening to it.

No, they ain't listening. The suicide bomber bum stuff probably put a lot of them off, to be honest. Yeah, if you've done some research into that, I'm surprised Bruno hasn't put that in the run in order yet. What I like about when broadband companies do, basically they've got three ways of advertising stuff to families. It's control of the broadband system, so like turn it off when kids are going to bed, and so they can't use their iPads anymore. Number two is social media and chatting and stuff and organising your life. And then the third is always video games, streaming video games, watching movies, and playing video games.

The way that they always advertise video games on, you know, broad media, it's always the same thing. Someone's always about to get to the end of level six, and they're about to get to level seven. Now, I can't remember the last time a video game had any levels in it. No. Not since the 80s. Those video games regularly have levels in it.

I know. I'm going to get the final boss. I'm going to get the final boss. You know, there was a really interesting, I tried to mention this before, and I tried to dig out, but I couldn't find it. But there's a really interesting thing someone wrote about the attitude of Generation X and Millennium, which of which we are, and Generation Gen Z. Right. And compared to video games and the type of video games that are made for kids now.

Okay. Right. Yeah. When we were kids, we were very much used to the idea he had three lives and that was it. And yet to go start again at the beginning. And now there's no such thing really as deaf in games, is there? Are you about to say walk nonsense? Are you about to say walk?

No, I'm not. I'm just saying this guy, whoever it was, I'm not. I can't remember the actual central point of it, but he was arguing that this is like informing their attitude towards life, basically. I can't know how you're saying it. Because when you played Mario Brothers, you used to be able to get one-ups, right? So you used to get more lives.

But once those lives were expired, that was it. I guess it was all built around, you know, styled towards the arcade side of things, because obviously arcade machines, you'd try to keep people playing as long as possible, putting as many coins in and stuff. So maybe if that hadn't, if there was no such thing in an arcade,

I guess you probably wouldn't have that style of, of game and also yeah true and also kind of nowadays I guess it must be quite an annoying thing if you're a developer

you nowadays you get two games out like two triple A games out in your career in 10 years a decade of your time maybe that you're working on GTA

exactly bare maximum you're getting two games out you're working on two video games that's five years of your life each right you put that out and if the games two people don't get to see anything you've done.

You know what I mean? That's true. It's mad. I can't remember who said it, but like, it's weird that like some, it must be the only sort of art form that hides, you know, loads of its content,

you know, behind a difficulty level that most people will never see. Yeah, so maybe, have you been working on the specific part of the end of like Eldon Ring? Yeah. What percentage of people are going to see that? Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, very few, I imagine, unless they're watching it on Twitch or something. You never get to experience the balancing and leveling that you've kind of created these characters. just from. I think, yeah, I made once a, there was a unreal, there was a DSX mod, video game from the 90s, DSX, 3D, kind of sci-fi kind of thing, cyberpunkky kind of game, game. And I made a, somebody who's making like a mod,

like a modification of a game where you basically add new levels in and new worlds and new, you know, stuff. And some mods have become very successful. Some mods have kind of found their way into, you know, become standalone games. And some, you know, DLCs and sort of modified games have just remained that little mods that you stick in and you get a bit more game time when the developers haven't created that game time for you from Punters doing it. And I was a team of Put-As making a DSX mod shattered oasis. I think it was called. I think that's what, I think it was a DSX model.

Anyway, and I made a bridge. Now, I made that bridge, sent it away to someone, and presumably somewhere, on an old server somewhere, there's a D-Sex mod with my bridge in it, that players can walk over, a little lower polygon, low-polygon bridge. Are people still using it to this day? Say again. Are people still using it to this day?

I very much doubt it. I've not really dug it out. But, yeah, there's a little bridge that I made in that little world, on a server, unused, forgotten. And that upsets me. It's quite poignant in a way, isn't it? Yeah, to make that. The point you're making here is quite poignant.

It's like that Nintendo, that meme, that Nintendo quit screen message. Yeah. And you're about to turn the Nintendo off. Anything not saved will be lost. Yeah, yeah. Tears in the wind. Tears in the rain. Tears in the wind, that's not a thing.

Tears in the wind. That will also remove tears from your face. It will all fart in the wind, tears in the rain. Bups in the Zabruga disaster? Why did Zabruga... Wait, what? Come into my mind. The ferry disaster from Zabruga.

I like that we're book-ending, we're book-ending the show today with kind of loss of, basically just general loss of life. Yeah. I was thinking of a B-word, but all I think was the word Zabruga. Probably Zabrugha, in it, really.

No one knows wacky European. Zabrugger just basically means the sea of Bruges, right? I guess so, yeah. There's a Brugger. Because you can go up the canal all the way to Zierbrugger from Bruges.

I've cycled it. Yeah. How do you get a ferry down it? First half of the cycle is lovely. Second half is just a massive port. It's just containers everywhere. Nice to see Portsmouth again, no, right, we'll be back on...

No, we're not going to go because I really want to tell you a final bit of this. Right. That's the last time that an older man shook his fist at me in a comedy, angry, fashion. Really?

You don't see that anymore, do you? No, you don't. What? I was, I cycled with the Wi-Fi of access to along the canals of bruges towards Zabrugger. How awesome. It was great. And we had a couple of drinks.

Went to stopped in the medieval town of Dammer, which is just on the Dutch border, which is very nice. And a couple of, a couple of, you know, blew the froth off a couple of, yeah, flagons of the foaming, you know, tended to the collective whistle, Peter, you know, toasted our four fathers, you know, and cycling back down towards the aforementioned brooge to give the high cycles back, I saw an elderly, not elderly, an older gentleman dressed in a very Belgian manner. Yeah.

Bit rich. Where you are looking these days. Yeah, true, true. You look like an advert for a Belgian beer. Yeah, I do. And he was tending to his front garden. Nice, I cycle down a cycle path in front of him. And I shouted.

Bonjour, like that. Yeah. Obviously, he took that as a slight because I guess they spoke Flemish or Dutch in that part of Belgium. Yeah, yeah. And he turned around, I can still picture him now. Czech shirt tucked into his belt,

holding like a rake in one hand and shaking his fist at me with the other hand. It's good of me, doc, you pig. You fucking pig. Is what his expression felt like it was saying. Well, there you go. When was the last time you got an old man shaking their fist at you? Let us know.
