The Formula One World Championship is heading to the final few races and P1 with Matt and Tommy, the world's biggest F1 podcast, has you covered for every twist and turn this season. We're here with full coverage every race weekend as well as midweek driver ratings, predictions and reactions to breaking news from across the F1 paddock. He's delivering week in, week out, he's right there. It's definitely looking in his favour, but let's relax. I've watched Formula One far too long to basically be like, yeah, Oscar's won. the championship. If they get into a mess over this and these final few races, it's completely

deserved. They've gone down a very dangerous route. Very dangerous. We also interview plenty of the F1 drivers themselves, and we make sure to only cover the most important topics. You know that's a big talking point with us. What tracks have good toilets and not good toilets. This sounds really bougie, but we do have to share the toilets with the public. Well, well on in qualifying, mate. Yeah, yeah. Literally. So whether you're an F1 die-hard or just partial to a bit of drive to survive, P1 is the podcast for you. Search P1 with Matt and Tommy in your podcast app to listen now. It's Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. Welcome to the Luke and Pete Johnson job and Mr. Lukie Moore.

Hello. Any kind words for MG? Well, I've never heard him called that before. The MG merger. I'm having Andy. So he's quite a problematic character now, isn't he? Yeah. It's interesting.

It used to be way easier when you were a child. Straight in there with an MG chat. Straight in there. When you were a child and certainly when you went to Catholic school, there'd always be pictures of Mother Teresa all over the place. And you do sort of go, those times were easy. When things were black and white, someone was good or they were bad. Yeah.

There's been a retrospective on. Mother Teresa as well. Yeah, she particularly nasty at the rest of things. I mean, like, her Wikipedia page makes for quite the reading. Yeah. I mean, Sister Gertrude, who used to work at our school, she'd give you a coffin every now and again.

Would she? Yeah, she was Catholic, mate. A Catholic cuffing. What does a cuffing entail in this scenario? Just, if you annoyed her in any way, she'd give you a clip around the ear roll. Not the worst thing you get from a senior Catholic figure. It's a good point, actually.

Yeah. Did you ever get to, I think I got a spanking at school. would that be a time is this just a kind of false memory I think maybe I think the headmaster might have might have given us a little spanking is that at secondary school

feels like it's quite an acronistic idea of that I may have implanted them on head if you're committing indiscretions that are getting you into the head master's office first of all I want to hear about it right I was I was once called into the head of year's office I never got the full headmaster treatment right our head of year was this lady

called Mrs. Smith and she was like a weird old cat lady. Right. And I think, you know when you look back and you don't question it at the time because you never really question authority figures when you're that young. But when you look back at now, you go, yeah, I think she was weird. Like it was kind of weird. Yeah, there's a lot of like things where you sort of go, oh, yeah, you're going through something there, aren't you?

But I never ever, no one ever laid their hands on me at school. No. And I think thinking about it now as parents, you and I, separate parents, of different children, Yeah, I would, I'm actually going to, I'm actually not going to say what I was going to say there. I'll be very proud to, I'll be very proud to raise a child with you, Peter, but I wouldn't be terrible. Why would that be terrible? Because it's stressful enough as it is. I, I'm sure you're a great parent, but I think we move at different speeds.

Yeah, I think the admin wouldn't, wouldn't quite be there on the side of things. What I was going to say was that, um... Isn't it weird that I'm responsible for a lot of the admin, getting things paid, getting things sorted out? I just think the part of your relationship is never here to defend herself. So I can't, I'm only getting a one side of the story. And she would very much have, uh, uh, things to say about that. Yeah, I'm sure she would. But the very idea of anyone laying their hands on your child these days is, it's just unthinkable. It's absolutely unthinkable, right? And so

the fact that our parents, I mean, I didn't get my hands, I didn't get hands put on me at school, but if I had done, depending on, I guess, what it was, I'm not sure how my parents would have thought about it. My mom used to give me the odd smack. Yeah, I used to get the odd spanking off the bum bum. I would never do that to my son now. It's weird thing, ever, ever, ever. He deck me. Well, there's going to come an age when there's going to be some kind of retribution in the post, I think.

The, um... But Mahatma Gandhi, just for people to... Before we gossip over that, very quickly. Not, we did not make Mahat Nagandhi, not our son or daughter. No. No. No. But I think he as ever were these types of characters, very complicated man, to say the least.

In a different time as well, and said some very, very problematic things around, about young boys, didn't he? Did he? Right, okay. Yeah. Well, my... Oh, sexy things? Yeah. Right.

They're not sexy, though. Can't really seem to be sexy, can it? No. Well, I guess it depends on how you can say it. If you're a... Pete, it doesn't. If you're a great wit in public school in 1920s.

Yeah. And you're talking about a beautiful young boy. He's not doing these things. First of all, this is bad. Second of all, he wasn't doing those things anyway. Say it romantically and it's fine. No, it's not. Right.

Just let me get my point out. We can rapidly move on. And then we'll move on to sexy kids. Right. To the curveball that you threw it my way. Without telling me anyway. By the way, it's a ronious can of water here in the camera shots. I'm going to move it.

Go on then. It's empty as well. That's rude. Why's there a bin in here? So my orientation day at UCL, which is the alma mater of Mahatma Gandhi. Right. I was obviously being shown around. They are this thing where they take you to all the different buildings and everything.

It's basically some key, you know, third year takes you all the round people who hung around university yeah yeah yeah big in the active in the union

talking about cheap eats I say cheap eats a lot cheap eats cheap eats getting off with freshes disgusting there was a there was a little mini

protest around the Manhattan McAandy statue which is one in one of the squares in Bloomsby I forget which one where people were trying to get it removed and at that time I didn't know

I didn't know anything about it I looked it up later he was a very problematic if I was in the removal the statue removal business I'd probably go after Gandhi first because no heavy suits of armour on the statue itself.

It's quite a small one. Quite a small fella. Swaddling clothes and, yeah, just not really sort of... Do you remember one of those lads put the old Mahican, grass mahican on Winston? That felt very subversive back at the time.

Was it Swampi? Did Swampi do it? No. No. I think that's the Mandatha effect. I don't think it was swamp. It could have been. I think it was more of just a general environmental process. Have they gone rid of those Houston tunnels yet?

Remember there was like somebody had made a lot of tunnels and, like, they were protesting in front of Euston Station, I think. I don't know about this, I look it up. And I think some activists had made like a sort of a rudimentary tunnel under Euston. Right. That may have been an absolute fantasy and fallacy. Googling Houston tunnels doesn't make it that easy to find out.

No, okay, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. But I'm not sure I'd never heard of that before. Right. But I know Swampi was a big guy back in the 90s, wouldn't he? Yeah, I think he was, he spent a little time subterrania, so to speak. I think he was I think he loved a tunnel and a tree

he loved sitting in trees as well He spent a week in a tunnel aiming to stop the expansion of the A30 in Devon Oh he did the He did join the He joined the Eastern one recently Did he do any tunneling?

What does he do day to day, do you reckon? I don't know I mean he's probably quite a well-known Because if you're If you've got a squat And Swampy comes round You would be like You would be like

Oh there's a celebrity Squattist most recently seen apparently living with his girlfriend and there's three children and he yurt in a commune in West Wales You love to see it I don't think that'd be too bad these days No

Get me out of here Just quiet He probably hasn't got a phone Just get me out of you It's too much stuff Isn't there There's too much stuff to think about I shouldn't have to think about

A lot of this stuff But I remember thinking If I made loads of dough And I didn't have to work anymore I'd go out to the countryside Live in a nice quiet house Yeah Top yourself

Say you? Top yourself The topic to tug myself Probably that one first Yeah Tug myself One final one Tug myself Yeah

And I kind of had this idea of how it would work And I eventually thought I'll do it up in Scotland Or maybe I'll do it in the Lake District Whatever And I said it to some bigger boys Who I'm friends with

Who are more practical And who kind of Cut through the nonsense And they were very scathing Right About your To be fair When you're a bit stressed out

You do say You're going to move to Scotland And live in a Hall Like Swanby But the people, I don't say that, but it seems like a protest. It's not a massive house.

In my scenario, it's going to be a massive house. Right, okay. Which I don't want to clean. But they cut through the bullshit by saying a couple of things, which are very true, probably quite true. One is, you last about 10 minutes for you on the old fucking WhatsApp. Right, yeah. What's going on.

Okay. Yeah, trying to get involved. Secondly, you'd never do it in the first place. You'd never do it. Um, you're quite bloody-minded, I think. I think you'd do it. Thank you very much. I think you'd do it.

Would you regret it, but you'd have to style it out? What would be your retirement plan? What would be my retirement plan? With my general health, I do not think further than a few months. Oh, don't say that. You've got a plan for it just in case. Just in case you surprise everyone and live to a grandaddle-a-age. I think we, what would I do?

I don't know. I would have more time for my activities. definitely. That sounds but money needs, but money needs like you need money for activities

I think you'd burn for a lot of money quite quick with your schemes and your plan and your hobbies because your hobbies are quite expensive hobbies

that they involve buying quite a lot of things on the internet and you need space as well but then my tools will still be around so you know what is your plan for retirement

you want to carry about you want to carry on broadcasting for as long as you can yeah as you said do as you said I I think most of my projects

are quite scalable which way though down down very much down. I could see you with your moustache and your hair growing out

a bit longer. Like I said last time you had the gas station attendant. I could see you being one of those people who just sell stuff at the car boots sales

every single Sunday. Same pitch. Same place. It involves talking the people are, doesn't it? Not really, not some of those lads.

Let's just sit down one of those garden chairs, don't know? Yeah. I had a good, like, probably like two minute conversation with a man

got on my car. He said, nice car. And then he started asking me about the car. And we were both walking to the train station. and because it was a bit of knowledge I know about

I was able to express myself more freely and also I've done it so many times it's quite well rehearsed You don't want to be walking with someone to a train station Yeah exactly Same pace, whatever else Yeah, yeah, because he's started walking starts asking me about it over his shoulder

Did you know him at all? No, and I'm walking at the train station And we're both just walking and talking about the car And I had to pretend that I was getting a ticket I wasn't a ticket, I've gone paperless I've gone on my cards First of all, no one gets a ticket. It's a commuter train as well.

That's not a believable story. Last three months, I think being able to pay with your bank card at the barriers has only come in in the last three months. Oh, where you are? Did you find yourself on the same part of the train as him? I don't know where he went. To be fair, he did the best thing. He did the same thing that Pav did, a friend of Royal Pav, Big Pav. He did, he just, he ignored me and then took a picture of me and sent it to you.

Yeah, he did, yeah. He did. I said she's going to talk to him. I remember who you are. I know. I'm terrible with faces, though. I know what Big Babler looks like. But it's not a go for a drink with him. It's just one of those things, isn't it?

The absolute worst person to see on a train, a commute, is someone who you kind of know but not really. So basically, if you've got enough for five minutes, but longer than that. Well, to me, it feels like there's three kind of types of people you can meet in a train that scenario. one is someone you don't know who just starts talking to you and that's kind of easy for me that's easily manageable right okay because you don't care so you just like fine yeah yeah yeah and you shut it down quite easy second one is people you know which is so sometimes we I see someone I'll see one of the lads from the work from work next door

on the training because they live in south London and I'll just go over I am kind of conscious that it's an extension of their work and they having to talk to me for like half an hour but I mean ultimately we are kind of friends so it's fine but the worst one is the one way where they're a friend of a friend you kind of know and it would be rude to not acknowledge and speak to them and it would definitely get back to your mutual friend

but you've really got nothing to say. You've got nothing. Yeah, that's the trickiest thing even for me to navigate and I do consider myself a champion of small talk. Yeah, I completely agree. Neighbors are quite difficult because they're going to work,

I'm going to work, but their work, they can watch a bit of Netflix. Yeah. But I can't, I got to do me footballs. You've got to do me football, so... My next-door neighbours, one of my next-on-nebours is about to have a baby. Right.

And I don't know her that well. Right. She's very polite and pleasant, but our neighbourhood's very community-focused. Look on the door, get involved? Well, no, I saw... Do you know the correct route to the hospital? I do.

I don't say it like that. I saw her yesterday, because we had a package delivered for her. Yeah. And I was like, oh, um, when he had you, and she was like, whoa. Wow, amazing. Good luck.

She's like, thanks. Wow. She's like, yeah, thanks, nothing will probably happen. I was like, oh, yeah, well, my son came four days late. Try, I've eaten the curry. Why will I speak like that to them? No, one of your neighbours don't want to talk to you. That's the bit of an old wife's time, isn't the curry?

Is it not, right? Does it not just kind of raise your blood pressure, so it's just, you know, your body goes, right, it's go time, let's do it. I thought the most, the most, actually, a piece of information delivered in excruciatingly shocking fashion in the handmae's tail is, having sex is supposed to be Right Yeah

What's it called? Inspires Get things going Inspirals Yeah Okay My wife said doesn't work for her though

So Do you not think That it would Just be a bit easier A bit more polite Just to do a bit of I think Let nature do its thing

Let's do a bit of hand stuff What is going on with you today Do a bit of hand stuff Do you call it that Do a bit of hand play That's not made it better No it's not made it better What do you mean when you say hand stuff?

Did you mean charades? Bit of charades. Bit of charades. Get excited. Goal keeping. Some goalkeeping drills. That is absolutely outrageous, Peter. I don't know what to say for that, my friend.

Let's have a break. When we come back, I am going to do an email. I promise you that. We've also got to do some, by the way, we've had some absolutely incredible battery submissions today. Yeah. But I was genuinely very surprised at the quality of the battery submissions for today's show. But before we do that,

there's going to be an email slagging you off We're back with Luke and Pete Shaw Didn't want to return from the ads To be quite frank Because Luke before the... Dreadn't it. Yeah, dreading it Because Luke said that there was a person

complaining about me On the shore. Before we do this Can I inquire as to why you suddenly start dressing so smartly? Why? Yeah, I'm just interested. Because I've got a lot Because they're quite...

Because suits are warmer than my normal clothes and if I'm up I'm usually early I'm usually up early enough to to get ready and stuff to iron a shirt I'm a steamer guy

I steam it shit I think I've left the eye on have you really I feel like I did oh shit you better check afterwards we're not stopping the show for that no I might text just just revealed the name of I'll edit that out

but I just revealed the name of my daughter as if I could text her about the eye to turn my eye on Yeah, this is absolutely baffling insight into your mind. The reason I'm asking is because most people, when they have a toddler in the house and lots of going on, they are kind of slubbing it, slubbing it rather than... Right. I've never related more.

It's probably the only thing I do relate to Mark Zuckerberg on with Mark Zuckerberg than when he said that thing where he said, look, I'm busy, there's shit going on. I wear the same thing every day because it's just one less thing to think about. And at the time, I was like, that's pretentious, that's pompous, you're not as important as you think you are, blah, blah, blah. Now I've got a toddler, couldn't be more than true. It's part of my routine now in the night before. I just, when I've still got a little bit of mental energy left to make a decision, I'll get the clothes that I want to wear the next day by checking at the weather first

and stick them on the on the footstool thing at the bottom of the bed. Do you line them out like it's another person? Not like men in black. No, no, no, no, yeah. Like a third person in the bedroom. Like a guy. Yeah. I put it for a half.

An effigy. For the house. A little Luke effig. which would look like you. Yeah. Because your hair's quite heish. I once came home to my wife kissing it. She confused me with it.

And then in the morning, I haven't got to make any decisions. So I'm just surprised that you're sporting a full-on sports jacket today. That's why I'm asking. Yeah, I've just got a lot of them. And they don't get that much. I've got some stinkers in there. Got a bright yellow banana one. It's just.

It's local radio DJ. It's wacky. Awful. It's Bruno Bricks. It's Timmy Manor. Bruno Bricks. Yeah. It's Bruno Bricks.

Bruno, no, he's, that's what he called himself when he went into housebuild and after his own career for me. Are you the Timmy Mallet of Stack? Yeah, I mean, glasses, just a, a good function to just completely upset people. Put glasses on kids. With intensity. Put glasses on kids. So there's no, there's no rhyme or reason.

It's just, this is how it is. So it is. I do it for a few months and I'll lose interest as with most things in my life. Yeah, so anyway, I did promise before the break tantalizingly and email slagging off Peter. So it's only fair that I deliver on this. It's from our friend Simon. We might not be a friend after the end of this email. Fuck you, Simon.

He says, Hi, Luke and Pete. Long time, a listener here. I took down your email address to throw my hat into the ring for a night out watching Fading Stars stumble through classic songs. I think he's talking about Kerry Ketona and Katie Price. I've not had a palatable offer

for someone to come with me yet. And, yeah, I don't hold out much hope. But then I remembered Pete saying, Arnold Schwarzenegger, quote, wasn't really involved. with WWE and wanted to berate him instead. Pete has clearly forgotten Arnie decking Triple H on Smackdown. And the Miz later on in life,

Arnie was also involved in Triple H's Terminator themed WrestleMania entrance and is even in the WWB Hall of Fame celebrity wing. I had no idea was in the Hall of Fame because they do put famous people in so they'll turn up to the Hall of Fame so there's reason to do it, sort of do it. Which kind of undermines the whole point of it. Kind of, yeah. Oh, wow.

I just assumed that because of like people like Mr T because of like quite a lot of boxes and stuff spent a lot of time Donald Trump must be in there surely yeah Donald Trump was in the is in this entertainment wing I just yeah I just completely

and I think in my mind because Sting was Robocop was friends with Sting right the actor no the Robocop was in Robocop was in WCW as a as a fighter for a bit

and he was Sting's friend and I think that Robocop and Terminette inhabit the same wing of my entertainment wing in my brain and I just thought he just wasn't that term I remember Robocop's just being

the most terrifying film when I watched it way too young It's one of those things where it's like I was never, I spoke about before my dad would allow me to I watched Police Academy around a friend's house a few police academies

Great movie Asked my dad if I could watch Police Academy That's fine it's just a little bit, a little bit of nips. A little bit of nips. And I want to watch Robocop as well,

which I didn't manage to see. And my dad said, right, you can watch Robocop, but you can't watch Police Academy. And I look back. That's a poor decision,

well, I look back and I just sort of go, well, I just think he thought, because the violence is so silly, it's just not really that visceral. I don't think people would really, so I just get shot in the cock,

don't they? Yeah. I found a bit, I think from, I haven't seen it for years, but from memory, Murphy, the character who becomes Robocop

Having no skin behind the ears is upsetting He gets really badly shot Yeah And survive somehow And I found that chilling There was a bunch of movies That I watched way too young

As a kid Because there's a guy Who we used to hang around We've called Rich Horn Who I mean he's had a terrible life As an adult To be fair to him

But anyway From that kind of neighbourhood Terrible problems With drugs and all sorts but his parents let him I mean maybe these things are linked probably not but who knows his parents let him do whatever he wanted

when he was a kid so basically it just became like a buy word for doing whatever you want so what I used to say to my mum was I'm going to someone else's house I go to Rich Horn's house and he just better watch like we watched I watched a nightmare on Elstreet

I was about eight yeah well you get away with it around other people's houses wouldn't you I remember Nightman Al Street scaring me so much that walking back from his house in the middle of the day

I was jumping at everything that happened Is it weird That it kind of Probably badly affected me as a kid Yeah I think Did you not have any film You were genuinely frightened of

When you're a kid? Um I think was that film Alice in Wonderland Where she takes her head off Where the queen takes her head off Chuses her head In the round

In Laverin Those bad Those horrible little puppets Take their heads off as well That was really chilling They do Yeah Yeah

People's taking their heads off Jeremy's gonna frighten Labyrinth is quite dark At times Yeah Yeah very much so My niece Dark fantasy

yeah yeah i think it's a i think that was David Bowie and Labyrinth was a sexual awakening for a lot of people i think yeah i think he was it's the it's the cod piece do you reckon it's just the big the big bulge yeah i think it was a i think it was a cod piece though wasn't it there's also an energy between quite a young girl and an older guy that i think it's a little bit weird yeah yeah interesting and the hand thing he did with the little glass balls

yeah there's wasn't his hand i've seen you do it was to some i saw you do remember and i saw you do that thing with the glass balls to those tourist girls at trocadero that time What was it down there doing the class balls? Doing a bit of poy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, love it.

I love it. You used to do poe to young female tourist, didn't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, fire poe on the streets of Soho. Yeah. Just, uh, what else? What else? Like, just close magic, card tricks.

My, my memory of you is, the only thing I remember you hearing you say, when we first met and you were doing that in Leicester Square, was you saying, no, no, no, I don't want your money. I don't want your money. I remember you saying that. I want something way more important. you're going to pay. You're going to pay.

What was I saying? I can't remember what I was saying now. Excuse me of impropriety. Oh, yeah, a lot of those 80s kind of kids' movies were dark. Very dark. Stuff like Dark Crystal. And what's the one that Andrea Giants in? Princess Bride, yeah.

I think the 80s were quite dark for all of that sort. Like, I think anything that's sort of based on slight kind of like European sort of fork-talee sort of stuff that feels there's always undercurrent of kind of quite like quite a lot of darkness I read a really interesting academic theory once about why there was so many kind of hard body

action movies in the US in the 80s and this guy was kind of positing the idea that it was the US's attempt to re-south power on it yeah to reclaim their kind of position after the terrible end to the Vietnam War basically anyway Simon our email

that says how Pete can be on the show called wrestle me after embarrassing himself in such a fashion is beyond me, which is good because it's a dig at you which I like, but it also misunderstands the entire premise of wrestle me, which was that you didn't watch wrestling, and Mark did, and that was the whole point you were chatting about it. Well, now we sort of do watch new stuff that neither Mark nor me have seen.

I know, but the whole premise of it was, like Mark has watched all the restomalies and I hadn't. Yeah, but obviously we sort of then you run out of WrestleMania's but got used to having the money, so you carried on doing it. Basically, like my dad wrote a porno. Yeah, exactly. My dad wrote a porno. One of you's very objection.

actionable. You've run out of material. He's very creative. I was very creative and handsome. But listen, thanks for you man in Simon. Oh yeah, you can come again. Even if it's a negative thing. Let's have more. Let's have more of the ones that are objecting and whatever Lukey's saying. Thank you very much. We haven't got any of those man. I'll find them. I tried to find one

big in you up as well. I couldn't for one of those either. It's time for batteries, Peter. Take it away. It is time for batteries. Let's send the show as it should be ended with some batteries. Zach has got in touch. Hello again, you find fellows. I've yet again stumbled across a hopeful new player at work. And as with my previous submissions. This chat was residing inside some more

car workshop tech that I'm sure Pete will enjoy. Behold, the burner extra power triple air. Found inside a laser leveling device we use performing wheel alignments on sports cars. Just sports cars? Any cars? Can you? You can a wheel alignment,

anything I suppose, yeah. He's saying sports cars to show off there, isn't he? I think so, yeah. He's just in the back of a Maserati, you know? Like you were saying to those girls at Leicester Square that time. My sports car part around the corner. No, it's just where... Trocadino's funnier.

Yeah, Trocadero's funny. Because it used to... Because it was just like a rabble of like tourists and teenagers. But Trocadir is Lester Square, really. It's right on the corner of it. Picky. Yeah, but I'll tell you why it sticks in my mind because I used to have a job where one of the things I used to do

was interview and assess the new grads coming through. Right. And so you'd have to, first of all, you would help to select the grads that are successful because it's a very competitive graduate program. Yeah. But then when they came into the company, they um they had to be assessed every three months right and i remember an orientation thing from a from one of the he's a really nice lad and he's doing really well now i got him on

the insta still and stuff where um we had they were asked what they did in their spare time very one these are guys like straight out of unit and this guy was like a proper london kid yeah right i can't remember what his um what his background was but he's born and raised in london and uh he basically said, oh yeah, me and my mate's on Saturday, just go Trocadero. And just try and pick up girls. Yeah. And that was a thing.

I mean, so it's always just stuck in my mind. It's more, it's more heavily kind of problematic now because day gaming and stuff like that is, you know, what do you mean? Well, like, sort of people go to like Carnaby Street and Trocadillo to sort of bother people, don't they?

Oh, right. I think this was just a perfectly innocent teenage boy chat and try to chat to a teenage girl to get a girlfriend kind of thing. Right, okay. But it just was funny the way he said it. He said like, oh, um, Because then someone said, what'd you do down there?

And he was like, oh, you know, just chirps him. Which is so funny. It's fair. You know. I think he'd be cringe. I'm not going to say his name because he'd be cringing if he thought of it now. But anyway, that's why it's stuck in my mind. If he's still doing it, it is a problem.

As a place to pick up chicks. Pete, it's back to you. Yes, okay. What was I doing? Oh, yeah. Wheel allowance on SportsCast. Do you know they put little glass beads inside wheels sometimes to balance out the tires sometimes. Huh.

And it just helps. Some people do it. some people want, some garages. And it just helps kind of like... Why wouldn't they do it? Why weren't some garages? Is it the forbidden technique? It's a forbidden technique, I believe, yeah. Right.

If you get to a certain point with like wheel and arms and stuff, I think if you put these glass balls in, it just sort of regulates the weight on one side. Huh. I've not... I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. Mad. Yes, to answer your previous questions from my former battery submissions,

I'm an English guy living in Bavaria, where I work as a specialist welder and a general monster. sports mechanic. I imagine you see a lot of auto barn, burned up sports cars in bits. Someone brought the record on the auto barn the other week, didn't they?

They brought the record? Yeah, like 200 and so miles an hour. You shouldn't be driving that fast on an road that other people's used? It is wild. I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm just saying that's what happened. Yes, you did indeed notice the German computer keyboard in the background of my last email and access to numerous car theme

gadgets like paint depth gauges and decibel meters. All the best, and I shall continue at Scouring Munich for delicious new players. He's come in with a burner, extra power. I think you'd be good friends with Zach, I think. I think so. I think we'd get on. To be fair, though, he's a bigger boy and he's got, like,

he can use a welding torch properly. Take you under his wing, though. I bought a welder, didn't I, and I never used it. You and Zach, first friend date. He teaches you how to weld. Stick welding. Would you be up for that? Teach me out of stick weld.

Would you like someone to teach you how to weld? Well, I'd like to fail on my own terms first. Yeah, your concentration span is so poor that you wouldn't listen, I don't think. you'd much rather be friends with Zach than with Simon I'd be my hands would be burned you've welded your hands together anyway burner extra power I am absolutely delighted to say

is a brand new player now you may think Zach's got an advantage because he lives in Germany access to a whole new range of batteries but we have submissions from all over the world right okay so it's just part of it isn't it so congratulations to you Zach that is a brand new player and he's got a lovely little carpet that he's put the burner extra power Peter has got in touch

Huau Dow Super Super Energy is the battery and he's hoping to end the battery battery Daddy Pantheon after three unsuccessful attempts over the last few years I say unsuccessful as I didn't make the show I did

so I presume the previous submissions were so run of the mill that they weren't even worth the effort Well we just don't always There was just a glut at some point I purchased a new exercise bike to try and improve the fitness The fitness

It will probably go to the same way as the previous bike and be used as a close area but we'll see the bikes telemetry telemetry box came with these beauties

I present for your judgment how do super energy Peter yeah so how do is an interesting one

and I would say just to pick up on his point about previous submissions as I've always said there's an element of luck here what we'll tend to do

is when we know we're going to make it record a show we'll grab three emails at random batteries in the title and it may well be that you sent yours in just after we recorded and there's been something that's coming more recently you're never going to be um looked at do that so you've got there's an element of luck involved and we've never denied that so don't take it personally

peter it might just be that you've not um you've not been lucky enough yeah it could be of course the battery submissions have been terrible that could be the case as well but i can't obviously remember that anyway wow dow super energy now they are not a new player peter you are the fifth person to send those in the first time we saw those was back in May of 2021, so it's been some time. But they are pretty rare. I mean, five batteries in total across all the years we've been doing this

is pretty rare, but it's not a new player. I'm afraid to say, sorry, Peter. That is a real shame, sorry, Peter. Joel has got in touch with the battery that sounds a bit like a drink. Hello, gents. My ex-wife recently gave me this vintage tape radio Sony Walkman.

Tape doesn't seem to work amazingly well. Radio is fine. It's the belt. And I was delighted to slide up in the battery compartment and find these black diamond red diamond power double this amazing name more no mercury added get the get mercury if they're taking all a mercury out of the fucking vaccines rfk yeah put them in the batteries yeah um two place of one stone

yeah suffice to say i put them straight in the bin well you're usually killing one bird because you've you've taken their vaccines away yeah and less reason our batteries if you if you if you're dead um yes uh joel says yours in acid um black diamond red diamond look at do me a favor though peter look at the photo of these batteries these boys because they look to me like a black diamond brand. And then red diamond power. Yeah, what does that mean? Yeah, it feels like black diamond is the brand and red diamond power is

the type, the model, I suppose. Yeah. Because if they're... It's the testerosa. Do you know what? It doesn't actually matter, because if they're just black diamond, they're still new players. Right. They are brand new players. We've never seen them before. I'm constantly surprised as to how often we still see these brand new

batteries. I would say they're black diamond batteries. Yeah. It doesn't actually matter, Joel, because you've still got a new player, whatever happens. So that is two out of three this week, Peter, which is a very, very solid return. And people who gloried in the potential demise of this feature

are pretty noticeable by their absence now. They are in the eye. One in the eye. They are in the mud at the moment. Absolutely in the mud. All right then. Congratulations to Joel. And congratulations to Zach as well. I want on to you, Zach. And not congratulations to you, because you're very rude about my friend, Peter. If you want to get in touch with the show,

hello, petechior.com. The emails are flowing in. are a lot of fun. If you've got a good job that is interesting, we want to hear about it, we want to hear about the batteries in your life, we want to hear about how different your lives are to mine. Have you been to see Kerry Catanour and Katie Price? Have you seen Kerry Catan?

The moment, I'm staring down the barrel of going on me own. It's Kerry, yeah, it's Kare, isn't it? Yeah, it's interesting. All right, then, we'll be back on Monday. The Luke and Pete show is a stack production and part of the ACAST creator network.
