Starting point is 00:00:00 Do you want me to do a little sing song to fill in while you're sorting yourself out? I'm sorting myself out, hang on. I was trying to remember what the Switzerland of Asia was. You know, the guys who were just super neutral. And I always get Malaysia mixed up with Indonesia. And it's very upsetting. I very much enjoy, when I used to do the overnight show,
Starting point is 00:00:35 this is the Luke and Pete show. I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Mr. Luke Moore. Hello. And I hope you're having a good time listening to this. Probably not when this starts. Probably not when this starts.
Starting point is 00:00:43 And I used to, when I used to do the radio show quite late at night uh the bbc at about midnight or maybe 11 o'clock they switch over to some kind of like international indonesia broadcast do you know what i mean right they do like it they do like a bbc news but it's from jakarta i think you know that that big building that has that it's in a big kind of, it's like a big H or something. And Jakarta is a place that sounds cool, right?
Starting point is 00:01:09 It just sounds cool. I'd love to go to Indonesia. It looks fucking brilliant. When you said the Switzerland of Asia, instantly, of course, my mind flew straight to Kyrgyzstan, which is seen as the Switzerland of asia but that's chiefly for geographical reasons peter yes because it's landlocked because of i don't know because other reasons i suppose the size of it i don't know um it's got a lot of mountains um it probably
Starting point is 00:01:36 is quite a bit bigger than switzerland thinking about it but it's got a lot of mountain ranges and it's crucially landlocked um that's why i thought you were going. But the beautiful part about this show is that I don't know where you're going. And that's the thrilling, exciting, enthralling aspect of being the Ernie Wise to your Eric Morecambe. I just don't know what's happening next.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I'm just the audience surrogate, Peter. And I noticed today that I'd like to start with painting a visual picture for our listeners. You're rocking a sweeping side parting moustache and baseball shirt combo today. Yeah. Is that de rigueur in your particular part of Essex? Or would you be an outlier there, would you say?
Starting point is 00:02:18 I'm starting a vigilante group at the Warriors. It does look like that. It's the same energy. It's the same energy, big time. Yeah. the Warriors. It does look like that. It's the same energy. It's the same energy, big time. Yeah. And I mean, I'll jump in there before we get into my particular choices clothing-wise. I meant Singapore. Anyway. Oh, good. I've been to Singapore. Just say that then. I've been there.
Starting point is 00:02:41 All right, Singapore. Do you want to hear my memories of Singapore? Did you go up the big building that's like two big buildings, like the World Trade Centers, and then a little kind of tunnel between the two? I'll tell you what I did in Singapore. It won't take long. Okay. Airport? Flew, well, this is embarrassing, but I'm sticking with it. Flew there because I was going to Sydney. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Going to Sydney. In the ways of that famous airline pilot, going to Sydney. Had about a day there. On the plane over, this is in 2003 when I was 22 years old. I was a single man. I was sat next to a charming young woman next to me. And we hit it off. She said, I want to go and do some stuff in Singapore.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Do you want to do it? I was like, like yeah that sounds good and then that went for some lunch the only thing I remember is that was that I never saw the girl ever again after Singapore because she was on a different flight from Singapore to Sydney and she wasn't interested in talking to me anymore
Starting point is 00:03:40 fair enough perceptive if anything she found better things on the Malaya Peninsula it was Singapore Airlines as well she definitely found she definitely I thought she had
Starting point is 00:03:49 an amazing experience travelling where she found herself and all it took was eight hours with a boring bloke next to her on a flight to Singapore
Starting point is 00:03:57 anyway and then the only other things I remember was going for lunch with her she was nice I can't really remember
Starting point is 00:04:02 her name and they had tvs on the buses displaying soap operas um which i found at the time absolutely fascinating because the buses in gosport where i'm from were not like that they don't have partsmith specific um uh tv shows i reckon um i reckon um what's his name the guy guy who looks like Cuddles the Monkey who does the travel show, Simon someone. He's shitting himself after that review. Bourdain, roll over. People have been looking for a Bourdain replacement
Starting point is 00:04:33 since he sadly passed away. Here I am. I had lunch in Singapore. Can't remember where, can't remember what it tastes like with someone whose name I can't remember. TV's on the buses. See you next week. Talk to a lady, watch a soap opera.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Thank you very much. She never spoke to me again. Well, look, I mean, and also you can be like a travel YouTuber who reviews the old business class flights on the airlines. Yeah, the review would be very short, and it would consist of me nipping in there when the lights are out, saying, look, look at business class, and then running back again before I got caught.
Starting point is 00:05:02 But the thing is, the way I see that is, on the i'm not i'm not saying you should cause any issues or you should start making trouble but if you were to make a little bit of trouble i.e sat in a business class seat that was unoccupied not disturbing anyone's very quiet got your book out sat in a business class seat um who's going to stop you i don't know why they don't let first pass the course, first pass the curtain. Anyone who can run from economy to business and just sit down in one of the nice seats, I think that should be allowed. No, I'd make it a talent show.
Starting point is 00:05:34 It's a long flight. There's nothing else going on. Get up the front. Give us your best turn. And the captain will whack him on autopilot, come down and say, I like the juggler. Get him in first class for two hours.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Just for two hours. So the people who've paid for first class don't feel ripped off. You get two hours in there. Movie of your choice. I'll be picking a long one. And enjoy yourself. You do a bit of your turn.
Starting point is 00:06:03 A five-minute taster for those in uh in first class yeah yeah that's what they want they'd definitely be up for that yeah i mean i think a poor person like me going up there oh have you seen this juggling i've been watching uh a lot of it's i find it very relaxing when i'm doing other things i had a good weekend of uh pissing about diy sort of bits and bobs assembling like a big uh i bought a big box for the garden to put my um petrol oh a bun stuff in a bun a bun is that what it is a bund so you carry on i've got a story about that you carry on but do it at the end well i've just been like fixing bits and bobs in the house i've got a bigger boy
Starting point is 00:06:41 coming around to um uh tit about with a uh toilet that i was trying to fix and completely failed what you put in the advert for it is it well i'll come and tit about on my toilet tit about on my toilet uh that's what i put on the text of the guy uh so he's coming around and uh i i've been listening to um i've spoken about him before on this channel but i'm very much enjoying a man who's really hit his stride production-wise, a guy called The Mentor Pilot on YouTube. He's a guy, he's a pilot who is a teaching pilot. He's clearly got a lot of air miles under his belt. He knows what he's doing, and he basically just goes through air disasters
Starting point is 00:07:17 and go, well, I mean, if they'd done this at this point, I mean, that possibly would have got them out of a very sticky situation. But he's non-judgmental. So he'll just sort of go, this is, in a beautiful Swiss accent, this is what we are doing at this point. And if they had done this at this time, no judgment at what they were doing. They were clearly confused. They were clearly distracted.
Starting point is 00:07:40 No judgment. But there's certain videos, there's certain crashes, there's certain videos there's certain crashes there's certain absolute abhorrent actions from the captains that deserves a little bit of judgment
Starting point is 00:07:51 but his reserve his reserve is so high that he he said you can look at the the airline
Starting point is 00:08:00 organisations report and they can and you can see what they are saying but I will not judge what they are doing I think they are this is not what this channel is about
Starting point is 00:08:09 but it's really funny when you've got the voice recorder saying let's take this baby up to 1400 feet let's see how high this can go etc etc and he's going yes you can see the pilots were in a fit of reverie and he's going, yes, you could see the pilots were in a
Starting point is 00:08:26 fit of reverie. High spirits. And he's going, they're literally going, let's take this up to the highest operational point that this plane could handle. Is it a passenger plane?
Starting point is 00:08:40 No, it's a repositioned plane. So they were repositioning a plane around europe so it could take passengers so it was empty but there was still four or five people that let that died because the pilots were going let's take this up really high like i don't think i don't think the pilots attitude should be this is just repositioning a plane there's no one around let's do what we fucking want it's not like an empty house your parents are on holiday i know it was properly like that it was a house party it's just like text the night before to your co-partner you're looking forward to tomorrow oh i'm gonna get right on it i'm gonna see how high i can take another guy another guy is fucking york was going fall and is it york is
Starting point is 00:09:18 that the joystick they use um the captain's york like suddenly started pitching down they had no idea it was about to hit a fucking mountain. He's like, what is going on? And he'd been taking pictures with his DSLR camera, and he'd put it down next to his seat. And when he'd pressed the seat forward button, basically the camera had mashed itself against the joystick. It was mashing it downwards. It's not what you want to hear about oh lordy so yeah so there was definitely an air disaster i
Starting point is 00:09:53 believe it was the air france crash from coming back from rio i think right famous one where the design of the plane meant that the pilot in control the aircraft had the yoke to the left of him and the other pilot couldn't see it. Yes. So he couldn't see what position it was in. So he couldn't make an informed decision to rescue it. And they changed the design. That's the thing about those plane crashes, isn't it? They always kind of take a lesson from them and
Starting point is 00:10:17 therefore make things safer. I don't, I mean, I'll take the amount of information you've given me there. I don't like to go to town on these kind of things, though, because it makes me nervous next time I have to fly. Honestly, we spoke about it before. I think it gives me such heart and it gives me, there's so much that has to go wrong to smash a plane into the sea. And there's so much that has to go wrong at the same time. And yeah, of course it does happen.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Going back to the Bund though very briefly the store so it's b-u-n-d for those who can't hear what i'm saying um it's like a small low level almost like a shed that you can't get in like a storage unit right yeah yeah it sits in your garden and when i bought this house i'm sat in right now um you have to go through all these different bits and pieces as i'm sure you know the survey all the stuff that the stuff they're leaving behind the stuff they're not and work out whether you want it or not and obviously it's normally things like a washing machine or a wardrobe anyway on this list for this house was bund right it's got a bund i'd never heard the word before i googled it but this is like 10 years ago. I don't know, was Google good then? I probably was.
Starting point is 00:11:26 It's that bit in Shanghai, isn't it? The bund. Yeah. But I didn't know what it was. And I was like, they were like, do you want it?
Starting point is 00:11:33 I was like, I have fucking no idea. And I couldn't get a hold of the seller. So I had to call the lawyer who was doing it. The lawyer had never heard the word before either. What is a bund?
Starting point is 00:11:41 It went on for far too long. And then it ended up the bund was fucking rotten anyway. So one of the first things I did when I got here was fucking... Smash it up. Pull it to pieces and find myself a new one. I think I'll find my new bund. Yeah, so you're thinking about getting a bund, are you? I've just bought a little...
Starting point is 00:11:57 It's just basically a little waterproof box, isn't it? And I've put on my danger protection there. So mine would be probably four foot high by five foot wide by three foot deep. It's like a chest freezer. It's just a box. It's the sort of thing you could get into and protect yourself from the rain if you lock yourself out drunk and you don't want to wake up your wife. It would be an excellent safe room.
Starting point is 00:12:14 That's a very good point. I might put a little sleeping bag in there. Mine would not be an excellent safe room. Mine could be pulled open by a particularly wily fox in five seconds. It's not locked. And even if it was locked the walls are completely you know threadbare plastic oh well never mind anyway what peter did you i read today that um this is a i don't know if you'll find this surprising or not but i certainly
Starting point is 00:12:36 found it very surprising do you know when netflix announced officially they're no longer doing dvd rentals oh yeah i know this one i think it was probably 2014 it was this week oh wow that's amazing where did they do that is it like in kind of really remote territories i couldn't find where it was emerging markets and stuff i couldn't find the actual territory but um it was it was. It was all bracketed up with a story about how Netflix are in a relative amount of trouble because they can't figure out how to make any money. And even though they've got basically everyone in the world subscribed to Netflix, it's still making the loss.
Starting point is 00:13:19 But they were talking about how that was part of the press release. I was reading the story thing, and that bit's fine. That's fairly interesting. And there was a section in the story about the Netflix DVD rentals and I was like, who's this for? No one fucking even knows
Starting point is 00:13:31 this is happening. This can't be an interesting part of the story. But I thought... I'm surprised that film companies and TV companies are even licensing hard copies of their stuff anymore. Well, I thought that.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I wondered if it was like a legacy thing. Well, yeah. It can't be like the vinyl resurgence, can it? Well, people want some sweet DVDs. It's worse quality than actual streaming mechanisms. The reason I found the story is probably a bit more interesting than the story itself
Starting point is 00:13:59 is that yesterday I was doing a show on Football Ramble with Andy Brassel and I gave him a list of things that I thought would be a better manager for Chelsea than Frank Lampard. And one of the things I said was a cardboard cutout of Jean-Claude Van Damme from Blockbuster. And then I ended up thinking, oh, man, do you remember when... So when I was a kid, what would normally happen when we were about 17 or 18 is me and a few of my mates would go out on the pits on sort of Friday night. And the Saturday we'd like, ah,
Starting point is 00:14:25 a bit hung over, nothing to do. Let's get this rent of DVD. Right. So weirdly we would all decide whose house had a spare room to watch a DVD in. And then like six of us would pile into blockbuster and decide a DVD between us and just rent it.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah. And, um, I don't know what it is about blockbuster but there was something very kind of powerful about that and then and then when i thought about the jean-claude van damme cut out i remembered that um at the end of like the run of a movie so say for example they're promoting a new movie you can rent they would have all these cardboard things promoting it and posters in blockbuster well our local blockbuster when that run came to the end
Starting point is 00:15:04 they used to let you just have them. Did they used to do that for you as well? What, they used to just give you the... Yeah, I seem to remember having a massive picture of the man from Lost in my house. It was the size of my front room. His head was massive.
Starting point is 00:15:20 It was a massive head of the man from Lost. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does make sense. Why did you have that? Because I wanted it, Luke. I wanted it. What was his name, the guy? Josh something.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Josh. I think he is a prick. I think he was exposed as being a massive prick. No one's got a good word to say about him. Oh, no, he was called Jack, wasn't he? Jack, that's the one, yeah. Lost Burn Bright, didn't it? Jack, that's the one, yeah. Must burn bright, didn't it? And then no one talks about it anymore.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It just looks up. He's played by a guy called Matthew Fox and he's not done much work since. No, I mean, go down to controversies, I'd probably say. Oh, legal issues. Okay, right, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Fair enough. That guy, that guy. So you leveraged Blockbuster's generosity by having a massive head. Big head. The guy from Lost in your house? Yeah. In your mum's house? No, in my house, in my front room.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Okay, so you were old enough at this point to live on your own. Blocked out the sun. It was so large. We used to get these cardboard cars. We used to get these cardboard cars we used to get posters I remember particularly enjoying the French language posters that you used to get for some of the French New Wave movies because I was pretentious like that
Starting point is 00:16:32 that was a very small section of Blockbuster admittedly and I had a couple of French film posters on my wall that I got from a booze cruise to Calais which isn't really the main reason you do a booze cruise, is it? No, it's the booze. It's the studies. But the act of going to Blockbuster
Starting point is 00:16:53 was quite a cool thing looking back on it. It didn't feel cool at the time, but it is quite a cool thing. Yeah. Because one of the things interesting about it, I think, is that they were quite big. And I know this is an obvious thing to say say but the reason i'm bringing this up is because you just do not have this now you never will again just shelves and shelves of the same dvd it's just weird it just it would i think having like loads of versions of the same
Starting point is 00:17:21 of the same thing is hilarious because obviously like we're streaming you know you can you can you can do that infinitely you can create new ones all the time but like the idea of like having like a thing five or six different times and we all shared them for money we rented them for money it seems absolutely bizarre and but the ceremony of walking into a blockbusters there's a there's a blockbusters video on the way to south end and it's still got the signage up they've never been able to fill the the shop i don't know when it closed but it's a massive uh massive like really on the arterial road into south end well the second i do know anyway and uh it's so busy and i just don't know why no one's bought this massive blockbuster video because I want to go in there. I want to go in there under the cover of darkness
Starting point is 00:18:08 and just see what's in the storerooms upstairs. There'll be loads of errant DVDs that the stock clearances haven't been there. There'll be loads of cutouts of Jean-Claude Van Damme as well. Yeah, that'll be great. Because what I was going to go on to say is that, so for those of you too young to remember this they would just have say say say jurassic park come out whatever yeah they'd have a hundred dvd cases of jurassic park that were empty that you go to the shelf pick up take to the counter and they would give you the dv DVD in a different box that was unmarked.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Right, okay, nice. When you think about it, there's absolutely no fucking need for that. There's no need to do it. Just go up and say you want Jurassic Park. You don't have to do that. There's no real, because what someone's going to have to do, presumably,
Starting point is 00:18:56 is say they've got 150 copies of Jurassic Park at that blockbuster. Someone's going to have to count out 150 cases and put them all up on the shelf, and when they're gone they're gone it's a completely pointless exercise you might as well just say we've got jurassic park and when it's out of stock say it's out of stock yeah but you as a shopper you don't want to be going up to the front and just be disappointed all of the time like nine hours at 10 you'll go
Starting point is 00:19:17 there and they'll go we don't have that in we don't have that in maybe have an information screen like at mcdonald's saying what's in stock and what's not in stock. But the ceremony of going in and selecting your DVD and picking up maybe a little bit of popcorn or something, getting a fish supper on the way home, that, I hate to sound like an old person, but that was a lovely part of the weekend for me. Lovely part of it. You can't say the word fish supper
Starting point is 00:19:39 and not sound like an old person. I never used a fish supper. That was like proper 1960s language, isn't it? Like we were told it used a fish that was that was like proper 1960s language in it like we we were told it was a fish supper but like you know for me it was half lot yeah it's basically northern i think it's northern and scottish that like is it fish supper or uh because we used to just say fish and chips or whatever okay but my obviously a lot of my family is scottish and they would say fish supper no i don't think I don't think it translates down south. Anyway, on that note, let's have a break.
Starting point is 00:20:08 And when we come back, we'll do this week's entries into the battery vault. So we'll see you in a minute. Oh, it's the break end time. And now the Lugabit show can begin again. Lugabit went for a wee in the break because I was dicking about with the running order. And I have to tell you, Luke,
Starting point is 00:20:32 I am going to urinate so much more these days after I started drinking water. I was a water dodger for many years and I used to criticise people like Jim Campbell who needs to wee three times during a course of a 45-minute ramble. Turns out, when you drink no water, you can be quite arrogant about how little you need to pee because you're not drinking any water.
Starting point is 00:20:57 When you start drinking water, piss comes out. Yeah. I mean, it's remarkable that it's taken you to this age to really understand that. How do you feel about it? Do you feel better, more healthy? Yeah. I mean, it's remarkable that it's taken you to this age to understand that. How do you feel about it? Do you feel better, more healthy? Yeah, I do, actually. I'm not getting quite so many hard palpitations.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I'm back in. I've got to get checked out again. But, yeah, things have improved. It's reminiscent of my dear old granddad, who's still with us, at the ripe old age of 91, who about three years ago had a UTI. Yeah. And in the consultation with the doctor after it was diagnosed,
Starting point is 00:21:34 when asked the last time he had a drink of something that wasn't coffee or red wine, he said, I simply can't remember. Red wine is so dry. Red wine and coffee is the only thing that passes lips liquid wise. He reckons for years. Yeah, it's mad, isn't it? I've changed my
Starting point is 00:21:51 asthma meds and started drinking water. No help, I'll pop a tissue. That's good, because you were a bit worried about that, weren't you? I was a bit worried. It's nice to get a check-in. It's nice to get a check-in, isn't it? It's nice to get found. You know, do an echocardiogram and listen to your heart go... It was absolutely fucking disgusting.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Were they happy with your heart function, were they? Yeah, they were, yeah. I mean, she slipped in the word relatively, which I didn't enjoy. That could just be relative to the patient she had earlier. Relatively speaking, you've been all right. It's been top three. And by the nature of the fact that she's in a heart ward, everyone's fucked yeah
Starting point is 00:22:26 the bias will be quite heavy given that you're only really seeing people for a certain reason I had a similar thing I had the old
Starting point is 00:22:34 heart check up in September of last year echocardiogram 48 hour monitor and ECG and it all came back solid
Starting point is 00:22:44 solid solid heart rate. But I am overweight because I cannot stop eating. But other than that, I'm relatively happy. I mean, I ran this morning at a decent clip for a while, which is part of the reason I just needed to go for a slash because I had to smash through loads of water before I got on air. So touch wood, I feel all right.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I'm just creaky and old and a bit overweight. That's it. Hey, I was playing football on Monday and I have nothing to offer on the football field except running. I've got, I do shuttle runs. Sarcasm, did you say? Getting annoyed and angry
Starting point is 00:23:24 and the volunteers are going goal because you're angry with yourself. Fair, yeah, yeah. I hate myself when I die. That's something you've got to offer. Not everyone provides that. Exactly. I'm always in,
Starting point is 00:23:32 if I give you the ball, I'll always run a little distance and look for the one-two. Never get it. But so you are, so I do that and that's all I've got to offer. I'm quite quick.
Starting point is 00:23:45 But I, the lads after the game were astonished that I was 41. You having that? You having that, Moa? They were astonished. The goalkeeper said, I thought you were early 30s, Pete. Thank you. The moustache worked. I think they saw your look and thought you're from the 1930sete thank you no the mustache worked i think they saw your look and
Starting point is 00:24:05 thought you're from the 1930s that's what they do no the thing is about that right let's turn into that because that i find that interesting because when i get told that i think that people think i look younger right um they're almost certainly just being polite right but it does happen quite a lot and the thing, I really take it to heart. I'm really happy about it. The same way that if someone says to me, I don't know, shut up, you fat cunt or whatever, which has happened before on the football field, for example,
Starting point is 00:24:38 that kind of stays with me a bit, but then I move on. I really hold on to the youth angle. I don't know why. It's just such an easy win for people to say that to me. I reckon that people I know fairly well have kind of picked up on it and really use it as a weapon against me because it makes me very good natured to hear it. So
Starting point is 00:24:55 do you think those people were being frivolous I guess is what I'm saying or do you think they genuinely meant it Peter? It seems when the first person said it I thought they were just being weird and nice. And then about three or four other people joined in and were surprised. So, maybe Luke, thanks to the
Starting point is 00:25:11 disco lighting that you see down at the Garon Centre in Southend reflecting off the rubber balls on the 4G pitch, maybe they're kind to me. Maybe the way I sort of operate on the football field, you know, belies my body.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Yeah, I think that's fair. I'm not against that. I think when you're clean shaven with your moustache and your hair's done, I think you look very, very good. Thank you. But a lot of time, and don't take this the wrong way, a lot of time you do just look confusing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:44 The other day, the most recent time I saw you in person was when you turned up for work on the day you didn't need to be there got quite angry of yourself um looked like you got dressed in the dark and then just left again and there's no other person i know that behaves in that way yeah i mean and certainly goes off and shoplifts uh right uh shall we do some battery brands Luke yes let's do it I'm ready and waiting for your first contender mate Gold's Universal
Starting point is 00:26:11 it's come in with a man by the name of Luke hi Luke and Pete Gold's Universal this one was found behind a gas meter covered in cobwebs
Starting point is 00:26:18 but how common is it all the best Luke it's a nice little battery triple A looks like it's from the 80s nice piece lovely piece it is according to our records Is it? All the best, Luke. It's a nice little battery, AAA. It looks like it's from the 80s. Nice piece.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Lovely piece. It is, according to our records, a brand new player, Luke. Congratulations to you, sir. Fantastic find. It's your battery to keep because you found it behind a gas meter. Fair enough. It looks like it's been there for quite some time. I like the way you've cleaned it up and taken a photo with a flash, which reflects the gold type. But the most important news for you is that it's been there for quite some time. I like the way you've cleaned it up and taken a photo with a flash, which reflects the gold type.
Starting point is 00:26:47 But the most important news for you is that it's a new player. So congratulations to you. Congratulations, Luke. And moving on to Wazim. Hello, Luke and Pete. I've got a new battery submission for you guys. I found it trying to figure out why my car alarm fob stopped working. Presenting the Super Sun King battery.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Pretty nondescript name, but what's interesting about it is that it's bloody tiny, but it packs a hell of a punch. It is literally the size of two Tic Tacs, but somehow holds nine volts. I don't claim to understand batteries, but a standard air battery is maybe five times the size,
Starting point is 00:27:17 but it's only 1.5 volts. I don't even know if this size is even eligible to be a new player, but I thought you'd enjoy it. Attached with my finger and a couple of Tic Tacs to scale. It is a very small Super Sun King battery. I love that he's put two Tic Tacs in there.
Starting point is 00:27:29 It's a lovely... I like to think he went straight to the shops, as in went straight to the shops and grabbed a pack of Tic Tacs. I don't even feel like I see Tic Tacs on sale anymore. Oh, don't give me this. They're all over the place. I eat Tic Tacs every week. The Coca-Cola flavour is the best one because they put little over the place i i eat tic tacs every week the coca
Starting point is 00:27:45 cola flavor is the best one because they put little coca cola logos on the tic tac did you say that to the um the heart doctor can you just explain your diet listen pal listen doctor scientist i eat tic tacs a day i only eat little cubes of food i eat uh pez i eat tic tacs they're my only sustenance i've got two tic tacs in the holes in my gums where the teeth should be right now you wouldn't even notice the uh the uh more on my teeth next week good god um tic tacs uh the the the battery question i don't know batteries either but would i be right in saying that this battery is designed to deliver a high voltage bang kind of like how can they get such an amount of voltage
Starting point is 00:28:30 in such a small space though it lasts like 2 seconds but it's only turned on for like 10 a second or something when it fires off the charge, fires off the the RF signal to your car or whatever I imagine anyway listen Super Sun King I think it's a very
Starting point is 00:28:47 comprehensive email from Wasim. We're very happy to receive it. I like the subject line in his email. Open up that battery, daddy boys. It shows a lot of confidence. Don't have a hole for it. It's too small. Yeah, it won't fit in the battery, but we'll accept it as a new player because no one sent one in before. So we've got two out of two new
Starting point is 00:29:03 players so far. Congratulations to Luke. Congratulations to Luke. Congratulations to Wazim. Fantastic contributions. Who's next? Finally for now, Nabil has come in with a Judo AA. OG listener here says, the very first episode and never missed a single one.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Wow. My first battery brand submission bought my almost two-year-old daughter a spinning LED light cane at the circus. Only took her a week to smash it to pieces. I had to carry it to salvage the batteries before chucking the toy out. Three of these babies duly popped out. I would imagine they would have been submitted before, but I don't recall ever hearing them.
Starting point is 00:29:36 So here I go shooting my shot. I see attached photo of the Judo AA battery. Thanks for the hours of rambling about nothing, yet somehow everything. I still laugh out loud from time to time. But I can't imagine qualifier there. Relatively hilarious. But I can't imagine having to explain to someone
Starting point is 00:29:54 who doesn't listen to the show what's so funny. Regards, Neil. And that's why I don't get any listeners. No one can market the show successfully. And the bill, maybe you can look in the mirror and wonder if you could do a bit more on that front for us if you've listened to every single episode. But nevertheless, thank you very much for the submission.
Starting point is 00:30:12 It's a great story. It's a great battery. We have seen this one before, but not that often. So my records tell me that on the 24th of November 2021, our friend Darren Hickey sent those in. Same size as well interestingly enough double A
Starting point is 00:30:26 so they're not a new player but it's always lovely I think Peter I can speak on behalf of both of us when I say it's always lovely to see one pop up again
Starting point is 00:30:34 you haven't seen for a while I just get a little bit of nostalgia a little bit of reminiscence to see that the Judo batteries are still out there so thank you to Nabil thank you to Wazim
Starting point is 00:30:42 thank you to Luke two out of three this week we'll take that every single week two out of three this week. We'll take that every single week. Two out of three is a great ratio, Peter. It certainly is. That's a solid week for us. It really does put a smile on my face
Starting point is 00:30:52 for the rest of the week. If you've got any battery brands, get them in. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. You can also get in touch via Twitter. I presume our DMs are open. TikTok and bloody Instagram. Yeah, our DMs are open
Starting point is 00:31:04 because every time someone DMs us on Twitter I get, inexplicably, I get an email about it. Do you get a pinger? Yeah, so there's your advice if you found a battery, send it in if you've got heart palpitations consider changing your asthma medication and drinking some water
Starting point is 00:31:19 Not eating so many Coca-Cola brand Tic Tacs By the way, on the social media side of things Rory's got a real bee in his bonnet about the TikTok at the moment. Oh, God, not again. He's a big guy, so his bonnet's massive. Yeah, get yourself over to the Luke and Pete show on TikTok is the way to see probably, it may be unfair to say this, but the little bite-sized clips of us that you only ever really need.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Get yourself over there. So it's at the Luke and Pete show on TikTok. I think we deserve to be called. I look at the luke and peach on tiktok i think we deserve to be called i look at the other social medias right the instagrams and i go okay we're not as attractive as some people so fine the twitter shit is fucking that ship sailed i think we should be big on tiktok i said first social media i've seen where i've gone that works for us so get over there and give us some support because we're always working really hard on it so we can sit around talking about crap for half an hour.
