Starting point is 00:00:00 Mr Luca Pete Shaw. I'm Pete Donaldson and I'm joined by Mr. Lukie Moore. I've actually been saying that talk at Lukie Moore recently now he's a father and a golf enthusiast. It's like arguing with my dad. Yeah, your dad like golf? No.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Why did you say that bit then? Because he likes he likes getting upset about technology. I do like getting upset. We like arguing about technology when I'm definitely in the right. on the whole tech thing. I am confident on it all.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Yeah, and there was probably a tipping point when, well, for me, there was a tipping point when my dad who had first brought
Starting point is 00:00:39 the personal computer into the home would have been the authority on it. That ship has long since sailed. We had a lot more time on it. We had more time on it, didn't we?
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yeah. You know, we had a lot more sort of downtime pissing about with them. All right, Dad, so you know how to turn it on and load up Lemmings.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Great. Great. How do you, I think with, as long as, as long as work benches is on, you can actually, you don't even have to do anything, do you? I used to absolutely love lemmings.
Starting point is 00:01:04 You know what I used to do? What? I think it was probably... Oh, no! That's what they used to say when they blew up. We used to... I think it was probably Lemmings too, I jumped on board that train. The tribes.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Lemmings to the tribes. It was, yeah. I had a t-shirt of Lemings to the tribes. Of course you did. You probably still wear it sometimes. It was a much complicated, but much more polished project. I enjoyed it. With some additional lemmings that you didn't really need, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:01:27 So, I was what you mean? Tell me. I've gilded the lemming too far in many ways. Possibly. Well, let me just have a look at what... Yeah, what skills that were there. The original was your blockers, your climbers, your miners. Yeah. Your diggers, your miners.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah. Here's to the... I'm trying to do Chris has had that. Here's to the lemming miners. So... The climbs so high as. You're getting really into it. I'm trying to find out what else they could do, the other skills they could do.
Starting point is 00:01:55 But I used to bloody well love... Parachshifists. Yeah. I used to love just loading it up, and it was, but I think, looking back on it, I think lemmings might be a serious cause of the anxiety I experience as an adult. What do you mean, like time? Saving lives.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Saving, saving big gnauzed lives. Pete, in frankly, quite straightened circumstances. Give me a blank page on your, on your thing. No way! That's my fucking Bible. You're not having a not a not pad. All right, well, give me like a page at the back, what you're not using? You want to draw a lemming. I want to draw a lemming.
Starting point is 00:02:29 All right. I'm just really good at drawing lemmings. I've got my passwords in the back. You've lost these before. That's terrible. There's a pass from WME, New York. All right, okay. Draw on the back of that.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Look at that. That is an unforgiving picture. I did lose a notepad once, but I got it back. Okay. I got it back from a generous good Samaritan. But anyway, I would load up the old Lemings on the PC and I would play it and play it, boy. But like, the best thing about the lemmings was the music.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Yeah, I reckon I'd be to recognize the music now, heard it. I reckon I'd be... Well, it was all, like, old, like, Joshost, I can't say, I can never say, I can never say his name. Was it, it? It was all, um... It was all, like, classical, a little bit of, yeah, here and there. Okay, let me have a look and see if I can load it up, and we can have a little play. Why, do we just play some lemmings, yeah?
Starting point is 00:03:17 That'd be great. Good stuff. Do you want the Amiga soundtrack? I've got that. Yeah, go on. Okay, I didn't have the Amiga, I don't on PC, but... Right, okay. Were you playing it in AGA or VGA? VGA, like, I mean, that's a little bit of VGA, not your EJMuck. Whoa, steady. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Chikovsky, he says. First was all classical, almost. Yeah, this is different music on the Amiga version, clearly. I think there was a little bit of strangeness in between the versions. There was 3D Lemmings, there was Christmas Lemmings on Amiga Power. But Christmas Lemmings on the PC was basically just almost like a patch. It was a little freebie, I think, with a magazine. But you understand what I mean in terms of the anxiety?
Starting point is 00:03:59 of it? Yeah. Well, you're just, you're just, you're just, um, did they have eyebrows lemmings? I think they did. Um, green, green would have been. They were, they were sort of drawn in slightly different ways every time they sort of came up. I think that, I think they had eyebrows. So your textbook ones were your blocker, your builder? Yeah. For, uh, uh, parachutist? The parachutist, yeah. That would save a lot of lives. A lot of camera on that one. That's very good, that. That's a social media situation. There we go. Maybe, maybe we can take a photo out later. Thanks for doing that,
Starting point is 00:04:27 though. I'll keep that close. I didn't put an umbrella in his hand. I should and apologies. That's the nicest. That's the nicest duty you've done for me since we were on a show talking about someone and you drew me a quite medically accurate heart.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Okay, that's all right. I've got that at home. I've kept that at my desk at home. It's my heart. Yeah, when you collapse for a giant, gigantic heart attack, I can shout out to the doctor. This is what's wrong with it. It looks like that.
Starting point is 00:04:56 It looks exactly like that. Do something. Imagine that way. It sounds cheese. There was a Lemmings song that was horrific that we can't play, but it was a horrible sort of trance track, I think. I think it was like a trance song. Yeah, I'll play it for you later.
Starting point is 00:05:10 It is absolutely astonishing. Another cause of my anxiety from my childhood was the quite unlovable Paul Daniels TV vehicle every second counts. Yes. Was that the one where they had like a sort of, he had like little yellow triangles in front. they would light up. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:05:31 And then there was a clock around the player. Yes. And it would be really intense, counting down the time. And it used to make me so nervous. I used to think about it like I think you'd think about a horror film. And, well, I mean, I would say that Paul Daniels had a bit of the kind of dungeon master from...
Starting point is 00:05:48 For sure. From dungeon master, Bees and Dragons. Yeah, he had that kind of like, I don't know what, I don't know where he came from. I am astonished, bearing a mind the way that he would. would perform on his TV shows that people, pretty much everyone has, like, lovely things to say about Paul Daniels.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Really? Yeah, I think so. He's dead. He is dead. It's absolutely fine. But they sort of say you can't libel are dead, but I'm fairly certain. There must be something that you're affecting someone's ability
Starting point is 00:06:18 for an estate to make money. All bets are off now. All bets are off now. But you can't libe an estate or a company, you can only liable a person. So I don't know what the deal is. Liable a person, but you're preventing me from, from affecting the estate's wishes.
Starting point is 00:06:32 So I don't know how it really works, to be honest. I can hear that. While we're doing this, before we move on to the general business of the day, which is basically what DIY project you've been doing and what's annoyed me. Noel's House Party as well. I was talking to Marcus about that yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Probably I reckon the most 90s show ever. Ran from 1991 to 1999. Couldn't be more 90s. And the Wikipedia page for it is quite clearly written by Noel Edmonds. Yeah, and Noel Edmonds at one point in that TV show. Remember when he had a go at a reviewer at the Telegraph or something? Right.
Starting point is 00:07:09 He did like a proper Alan Partridge in the middle of, in the middle of a Saturday night TV show. On Norse House Party, he did that? Oh, did he? Excellent. Not his weird UKIP sort of tinged stuff later on in life. That is excellent. He did.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Proper axe to grind. On Noel Edmonds, I'm fairly certain he went on a five-minute rant about a reviewer. Do you want to know how I know? This was, this was, this Wikipedia page is written by Noel. Yeah. Because, um, listen to this sentence, right? Nile's House Party is a BBC light entertainment series that was hosted by the whole evidence, right? It gives up that shit, right?
Starting point is 00:07:40 It tells you the dates of it and everything like that. Yeah. Listen to this bit. The show once described by a senior corporation executive as the most important show on the BBC. Ha ha ha ha! Who would know that? Yeah. It's not named.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So therefore it wouldn't be, you know, that's not, that's not a press thing, is it? No. That's literally Noel Edmund's saying that, isn't it? So somewhere in the bowels of that Wikipedia article, there is Noel Edmonds' IP address. And I'm fairly certain you could probably figure out quite easily because he lives in sort of Australia, doesn't he? He's in New Zealand now.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Yeah, he's absolutely stinking up the place. So you could probably figure out Noel Edmonds' IP address. So we should probably say that Noel Edmonds' show, Noel's House Party, had 15 million viewers at his peak. It was good telly. It was absolutely cracking telly. Would you put it up there with your Chris Evans is of this world, of this world? Different audience, of course. Different audience, different style, I would say.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Bigger audience. Are you calling it that quality? Bigger audience on bigger audience. You can't really compare the two, can you? You're not getting near 15 mil on it on Channel 4? No, no one. Not in a, never in a million. But do you want to hear how Noel reacted to the cancellation of Noel's house party in February 1999? Well, knowing that he's probably got a hand in writing this Wikipedia, he's probably absolutely fine with it and had other projects to deal with.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Oh, it's better than that. Right. It's better than that boy. Ready? Yeah. In a statement, Edmund said, I am delighted this decision has been made. I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and history will prove that the House Party was one of the most successful entertainment shows of all time. Nice. It's incredible, isn't it? Yeah, big fun of that. Absolutely huge. But I used to love it, Pete. I used to absolutely love it. I couldn't get enough of it. I remember going around to my nan and granddad on a Saturday.
Starting point is 00:09:27 And sometimes like probably every other weekend I'd stayed at their Saturday night and we'd watch Noel's house party and it was fucking great. Yeah, I would absolutely love that. That sounds absolutely lovely, to be quite frank. I'm going to see Mr. Blobby wrestle. Well, I was about to say,
Starting point is 00:09:42 did we need a crinkly bottom theme park though in your view? No, I believe a lot of the exhibitors still there, aren't they? People go on weird sort of dark tours to see it. It's dilapidated now, is it? It is dilapidated, yeah, absolutely nice. It's called crinkly bottom theme park. Yeah, yeah. It's very, very, very...
Starting point is 00:10:00 That, to me, feels like they've flown too close to the sun. Yeah. It's gone too far there, isn't it? Who's funding that? BBC, they pay. Is that a licence fee that's paid for that? Yeah, maybe, I guess so, yeah. Or some enterprising young gentleman has bought up the IP and decided to give it a go.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah. Give it a crack. Yeah. Makes you proud to be British, doesn't it? Anyway, what you've been up to? How's the beautiful world of Leon C, Peter? Well, I wasn't at Lee. I wasn't in Leon C over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I went to go and see my parents. I did... How was that? drive up? I did, yeah. Your drive, a dog? Nice and quick getting up there with my daughter in the back, but oh, it was a tough ask on the way home. How was she in the car for that long?
Starting point is 00:10:37 She's fine, like as long as you stop a lot of times and she's got this fun game where she says she's pooed and stuff when she hasn't. That is, and when you're... Is you and her in the car? That's a big effort, that's like, and it's... I would never do that with my boy. He cannot stand the car for long in 20 minutes about moaning. And she's, yeah,
Starting point is 00:10:53 she's got, that's a cool new trick, so that's... I've got to stop the car for every... Surely you better smell, wouldn't you? Not that strong, I would say. Like, I would, like, especially when if she's in the back and I'm like all the way in the front. It's quite, I did actually think, I did actually think that I, I do have, you know, one of those, um, I used it not that long ago. I always called to the nursery because she'd put a pee up her nose and I was turned up with a little, with my little pipe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:19 They go, like that. It's a piece pipe, isn't it? It's a piece pipe. Yeah. And I suck the, shook the pee out of it. And I had it in the car and I was like, can I stick up my nostril and feed the, pipe back to see if it smells, to see closer to her, whether she smells a poo.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Or could you just suck the poo out of the nudgee and carry on? The nursery staff wouldn't wouldn't perform some kind of procedure. They didn't have any way of doing it. They couldn't figure out how to do it, I guess. So, yeah, I don't know. Was she in a bit of a state as well? She's upset? No, she, oh, she didn't hog heaven. She's putting a piece of
Starting point is 00:11:49 her than God. Like, she's just so happy. Chip off the old block. Yeah, exactly. So you up, and so how was the visit? Good? You don't want to talk about it? Yeah, no, well, yeah, this is fine. My dad watches a lot of, like, CNN and then G.B. News, and then back to CNN again. So, CNN do normal, like, news stories about, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Is it international feed, or is it for the American feed? I think it might be the American feed. It's, like, that kind of policy is just way more interesting, isn't it? But then he goes for the GB News, dirty, dirty muck. And, I mean, again, I was astonished. He was saying, ah, he was like chuckling along all these stories on, I'm going, dad, None of these are stories. None of this is news.
Starting point is 00:12:29 It was like one, one Afghani man is getting kicked out the country, and he still wants access to the NHS. That's one man. The mayor of London's got a pension. That's another one. I'm like, Dad, this isn't even news. That's not, they call themselves GB News. None of this is news.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Can I perform your dad in this role play? Right, yeah. Can I be your dad? Yeah. Get out of my house. Fuck, I want you asked your opinion. I know, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:53 But I went to a... You don't get the remote in his house, do you? Well, the hierarchy has been, he's been usurped daughter, my daughter. It's a granddaughter, Stuart, than me. Yeah, granddaughter, she's chugging 608 CBBs. She's chucking on Pee Wee-Herman's Playhouse. But we're, because I went to, I went to me, auntie's funeral sort of like, well, Monday, Monday morning.
Starting point is 00:13:20 That was a tone shift. Did you please with that one? It's a good link. I like the tone shift. Should we tell listeners about tone shift? Yeah, what? About when you're anchoring and you have to change different tones and different stories.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I think you've got to muddle through to guys. You've got to lean into it. Yeah. You know. But you changed the tone quite well there. She was nice... Joe's the best at doing that. Joel's breech is really good at that.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Right. How many sort of tone... Well, no, she was on the ramble. Oh, yeah, she was good, yeah, yeah, yeah. And she flipped a kind of, oh, and different... I can't do it, but yeah, when you change the tone that well and it sounds so smooth, it's brilliant. You just got a scripting hand and just stick to it, I would say. You did it quite well there.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Carry on, carry on. I'm sorry to hear about the funeral. You carry on. Yeah, is you really not. That big a deal is 87. An old lady worked in a metal factory all the life, so a lungs were fucked. And she still met to 87?
Starting point is 00:14:05 No, it's still a minute to 87. Smoked right up until the last couple of years of a life with a lot of oxygen tanks in the house. Good on her. Good on you, I said. Good on you. But yeah, so she went and it was a 10-minute funeral. It was proper.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Like, I've been to one like that. 10 minute funeral. They just do, your sister, they didn't want one. Nobody didn't want to speak. Nobody, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Apparently my pet, so, so obviously we're talking about funerals and stuff. My man was trying to get out of it at the last minute because she's, she's wily. And I'm saying, is it her sister? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Okay. Half sister. But yeah. And, and, and, yeah, all her stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And, um, she's trying to get out of it. And I basically say, my daughter's not going to be responsible for you missing out on your sister's funeral. Because. So you're quite, Because my dad had to give, my dad had to look after the burn.
Starting point is 00:14:57 That's not good, no. Well, is he good at looking after her? She's, like, what is he going to do? He's a 70-year-old man. Yeah. But does he see danger? No, that's all he sees. He's stressed out all the time.
Starting point is 00:15:11 If she goes near a bowl of pennies, get that away from her. She's going to eat all of the pennies. Are you watching her? Well, just let her make sure she doesn't eat the pennies. I've got, I've got things. I have to be convinced that the family member that's looking after them sees danger. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:28 They don't think everyone sees danger. Do you think? No, I don't think so. I think some people, I think you're programmed into it because it's your kid. Right. But other people, I think, they have a combination of, it's either, they're arrogant because they've raised a lot of kids themselves.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Yes. And so they don't think about that much. I think it's easy. They forget the dangers. Or they're just a bit hapless. They just don't, they just, that's the thing. Like, my sister, for example,
Starting point is 00:15:51 she is brilliant with kids she's got two kids one of them's four they have one's ten she's on it and she's just very very maternal just recency though isn't it yeah
Starting point is 00:16:00 but I think there's types of people as well I just think there's certain family members you'd be a bit concerned about that's all but anyway you carry on well yeah I mean I think generationally I think my mum didn't trust my dad to look after the bend but she had a good time
Starting point is 00:16:14 good my dad drew it so you and your mum went you took your mum yeah yeah yeah yeah um yeah it's fine but my dad was um when i came back my dad had there'd been some kind of art club going on and my dad had drawn the most horrific picture of my daughter oh dear it's possible to draw
Starting point is 00:16:32 there's been some kind of art club going on so your dad had started an art club for him and your daughter yeah i think so yeah you got a thing of things for them to do haven't you you do yeah you got to have them like she that's that is apparently my daughter i mean that is horrific horrific Absolutely you're in me It looks like Peter Beardsley She does look like Peter Beersley Oh right
Starting point is 00:16:54 But we had a good time It was good I the joy that my parents Certainly my mum When they see my daughter She's dead just like I love it They absolutely love it
Starting point is 00:17:06 But they won't get on a train To come down to see it So I got a fucking driver I'm they Yeah I would never ever in a million Drive that far With the boy in the back
Starting point is 00:17:15 He's just not built for it Right Not built for it He can't He can't be sitting in the car for that long. He gets vexed. Play a bit of music. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Sing a song? The novel he wears off. And then after an hour, iPad. He never, yeah, iPad works for a bit. Oh, does iPod not work for a bit? It does a bit. Right. She'll do a good chunk of the journey with iPad.
Starting point is 00:17:37 But he wants to talk about everything. That's the pro. See, my daughter's not quite as advanced as your son with his talking. So that's why you've, yeah, you've got to be on it, I suppose, or something, you've got to have conversations. It's literally just this. Yeah. Daddy, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:17:53 Yeah, what are you doing? Yeah, I get the same, but it's what doing. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Driving the car? Yeah. Got to see your grandma. Six times later.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Daddy? I've already answered it. I've answered that question. I'll answer that. Mine will go, uh, I'll just go, daddy. Some classic. Bollocks. Absolute classic.
Starting point is 00:18:15 All right. You started that conversation. and you had no way of getting into it. Speaking of funerals, my dear granddad passed away last week. Oh, Lukey, I didn't know that. Yeah, so that was sad. He was talking about age.
Starting point is 00:18:26 He was fucking raging until, how was he, 90? No, he was in great form right up to the end as well. His body failed him sadly. And he moved out of his house quite late? Oh, no, he doesn't still live in his house. Oh, good man. That's an absolute, what a performance. Yeah, it was great.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Sorry, I hear that. No, no, it's okay. We're very sanguine about it. Understandable, you know, no one here gets out alive today, as Jim Morrison said. Yeah, I don't what I said, I fucking hate Jim Morrison. Stinks.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Stinky Jim Morrison. Just while I were on the subject because it came up. But some boy, amazing, major man. So I'm very proud to have had. I think I'm the person I know that's got to the oldest age
Starting point is 00:19:01 with the grandparent. Because I'm 45. What do you mean? You're the... So I don't know anyone of my age who's still at a grandparent. 45 is old to have a grandparent. Yes, I guess it is.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, I guess it is. Yeah, I mean, that kind of makes sense, isn't it? Yeah. I told you the story about him when I made him watch Jurassic Park for the first time. It's going to be a Blubuff.
Starting point is 00:19:18 brilliant. Whenever I hear about Jurassic Park, I think about your granddad. It's brilliant. But so, you know, these things happen. We're not just there
Starting point is 00:19:26 as performing circus acts to... 94 and 87. It's not bad, is it? To keep people entertained. We are human beings as well, Peter, with lives, aren't we? We are, yes.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And what better tribute to their lives is a mention on the Luke and Pete show. It's what they would have wanted. It's what they would have wanted. Yeah, my granddad, absolutely no understanding
Starting point is 00:19:43 of what I did. No. He made his people. with the idea that I seem to do okay. I turn up with a nice car. And you'd be like, can I sit in that car? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Is it your car? Yeah. Do you pay for it? Yeah. All right. That's it. Don't you know any more than that. It doesn't even know any more.
Starting point is 00:19:59 It was on a lease. I'm not, yeah. That's lying to the, to the, uh, wow. Lying to the, to the, um, what do you call it? The legacy of her grandfather.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Outrageous. What was his legacy then? Was it? It's his legacy now. Yeah. But no one. I can't believe I didn't tell him the truth. No.
Starting point is 00:20:15 I was sorry. on the door. He was a lease. I'm sorry to break it. He was a lease. It's a pay-s-pay. All right, no one's sharing out big cash, big spondool-ix for a brand-new car these days. I don't know anybody who's bought a brand-new car. They're just not, they're just not worth the money there. Especially like modern cars. They're like, they're proper, like, whenever you're getting like a new Toyota or a new, like, you know, whatever, Audi, whatever. Like, everything's like, you touch the dashboard. It's all like, plastic.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Not on the Volvo, boy. But it's all like, it's all, really. and latex-y kind of, well, even if it's leather, it's leather over, like, quite light plastic. I realise that helps with the whole fuel consumption thing and saving the planet. Probably safety as well, no. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Well, it probably reduces the firewall between the engine and going into your guts. Let's have a quick break, and during which I'm going to teach Peter about the wonders of Swedish engineering. Okay. It's the Luke and Peter Shaw, and before the break,
Starting point is 00:21:15 Luke was telling us about the wonders of a Swedish engineering. No, in the break, I was telling you about it. Oh, you tell it in the break. That was the elaborate ruse, Peter. You definitely told me that. Yeah, I did. And you remember it for the rest of your life. I will.
Starting point is 00:21:26 What should we do? Should we do batteries? We've got a couple in there, haven't we? We've got a couple. The haters are raging about it. There's still batteries going. Still doing it. Fuck the haters.
Starting point is 00:21:35 They keep sending them in. So what would you expect us to do? Yeah. Would you go out? Was you going to let it, let them just sort of collect cobwebs? Or leak? Or leak? more likely
Starting point is 00:21:45 oh by the way speaking of the car before we did this I was driving to the driving range yesterday and Tuesday sorry say again
Starting point is 00:21:53 double driving no I just driving to the driving driving range what are you driving driving to drive to drive to the driving race to drive yeah
Starting point is 00:22:00 and then I drove to the driving I drove home and a massive spider came in I was driving along a massive spider came up on the air vents whoa it crawled across the screen
Starting point is 00:22:09 and then went into another air vent he went what did he say We say? It's very strange a thing. I've been here since the factory. It's a very stranger thing.
Starting point is 00:22:17 It's a sizable spider. Have you started watching the new strange? I have. I'm two episodes in. What's going on? What's your reviews? Tell me. I'm not going to spoil it for our listeners.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Have you watched Oliver Ozark? No. Right. I've done about two seasons. I've got bored. I can't be dealing with, what's his name, Jason? Bairman. Yeah, I don't, I don't know if I fully get him as a serious character.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I was surprised how good he was. Laura Linney's brilliant. Lenny's good. um i do i do like it's one of those ones you know we get so much choice these days and we get so much kind of entertainment bombarding us that i do like i ozark
Starting point is 00:22:54 but i just think i didn't like it enough i just drifted away from it right so if someone said to me you think ozart's good i'd say yes but i can't justify or explain why i stopped watching it it's not quite sort of breaking bad is it i guess when breaking bad was out there weren't that many appointment to listen sort of big tv shows out there it was either that or nc i s when breaking ban started and now there's like
Starting point is 00:23:13 Like, everyone says everything's brilliant all the time. Yeah. I don't think Ozark is anywhere near as he's breaking back. Similar tale, which is fine, though. Similar tale, or Dad does some naughty stuff for money. Yeah. I saw an interview with Gavin Rossdale, the Bush, the other day. Where's that come from?
Starting point is 00:23:29 Well, I was going to tell you. And he said that he was talking about how he loved being in Bush and he had been really successful in America. He's really proud of it. He's a bit of acting, didn't he? Yeah, he did. But he said, we got a lot of stick in the UK. People were critical of us.
Starting point is 00:23:38 People didn't take us seriously. I didn't read at the time what I'd done wrong. I was just with just bunch of mates making music and stuff and he said when I look back on it I'm paraphrasing this bit but he said when I look back on it we're just basically
Starting point is 00:23:50 a poor man's Devana and there's nothing wrong with that yeah it's fine Vinna were probably one of the greatest bands of all time there's nothing wrong with it but that
Starting point is 00:23:56 same with Ozark it's nothing wrong with being a poor man's breaking bad he was very good looking I think and that's a problem so good looking you feel like they were a confection
Starting point is 00:24:05 you feel like they were sort of put together which I think they well they won't put together oh no they weren't put together are sure No, no. They may protest. I'm sure they.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I'm sure I read somebody were put together. Where did you read it though, Peter? You would know, you probably interviewed him back in the day. In the anti-Bush Express. You're not thinking of the Bush family, are you? No, but you could get put together.
Starting point is 00:24:24 You can get put together and still be good. Do you know what I mean? Like, you get put together at the start. So I go, oh, you know, they could be like a guy who's quite handsome, got a good voice, can play the guitar. And then, you know, a couple of lads join in, session drummer.
Starting point is 00:24:37 That always happens. Did they go to the same school? They're saying, he's saying the government, it says here, Gavin Rostale left his previous band and met guitarist Nigel Pulseford at a Wembley performance by a band called Baby Animals, opening for Brian Adams.
Starting point is 00:24:51 The two musicians become friends and formed a new band and then they added the bass player and then the drummer before they were signed. Right. You're cynical. I was quite cynical about Bush.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Again, I'm exactly what he was complaining about. Yeah. I'm a Bush. Well, my friend interviewed him because my friend is the editor of songwriting magazine which they're the cover stars for the next quarter, I think. And he seems a lovely guy. Love you, brother. Yeah, I've heard you good.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Anyway. Anyway, what were we talking about? Batteries. Batteries and Ozark. You just start to ask me about Ozark. I don't know why. Let's do batteries, come on. I don't watch a lot of Italian.
Starting point is 00:25:26 That was a show that I've been watching recently. I quite enjoyed it. Hi, guys. After several unsuccessful attempts, I'm less than confident, but having received these AAA batteries with the new kitchen scale. Big, big scene,
Starting point is 00:25:37 the kitchen scale scene, new batteries. remember they hear them hearing them mention so I'm chancing my arm this is from Matt power flash heavy duty any chance
Starting point is 00:25:47 any chance what do you think of his dog Ernie the dog is a lovely is that a lab or a looks like a lab to me yeah yeah I can never tell it between labs and what's the ones that got
Starting point is 00:25:59 retrievers oh yeah same I what is different I think retrievers have longer noses it might actually be a retriever actually I don't know I just don't know anyway he says he's a former guide dog who we adopted last year
Starting point is 00:26:09 because he got fired for being a rubbish guide dog. Yes. I love that energy. That is great energy. That's generally very... I mean, listen... Is the bad boy a guide dog in? Guide dogs are important.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Dogs should be good at being guide dogs. Yes. We don't want to see a shortage of guide dogs, but I still can't get away from the fact that from Ernie, that is fairly good behaviour. Is there not... Is there a sort of like Glenn Hoddle-style soccer school to take all of the rubbish guide dogs
Starting point is 00:26:32 and sort of rescue their guide-dog careers in, like, Marlbara from it? It's a great idea. It's a great idea. My concern is other dogs being... You're actually sighted people. Yeah, okay. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:41 You get like a slightly more rubbishy one, the more you can see. So what you're saying is, they say, what's this guy, dog like? Well, it's rubbish,
Starting point is 00:26:48 but you can partially see so you should be fine. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure that I'll catch on. What I'm concerned about is are the dogs being consulted about whether they want
Starting point is 00:26:56 jobs or not. Yeah, it's a good point actually. Well, you get rewarded, don't you? That's why you do it. I imagine the dogs love it, don't they? I guess so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Being a part of it. Yeah. Dogs just want to be amongst it, don't know? Great. And power flash batteries. Unfortunately, Matt, you are the about, it's difficult to say because it's a power flash is quite a common phrase
Starting point is 00:27:17 in the inbox. Then we just, let me just refine the search on what. Refine the search with some bloody quotation marks. My highly sophisticated data operation. You're the fourth person to send those in Matt, I'm afraid. All right, you know what? In this year of our Lord 2020, I don't think that's too bad.
Starting point is 00:27:33 In this economy. Anthony sent them in Claude. I love we've got a list to call Claude. David and And fourth, Matt. Yeah, first heard from them in the, kind of towards the end of 20, 22. Only four, so it's quite a rare beast, but just not unique.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Good on you, Matt. There's no shame in that. Indeed. And finally for now, Tony has come in with Yong Lee. Morning both. I know there are rules about multiple submissions at once, but I'm hoping my position
Starting point is 00:27:55 as a one-time battery new player and shared birthday champion will afford me some grise. I recently took the family to stay in a well-known holiday park in Fuelly. Is that you say it? You're half Welsh, you should know.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Flelly. North Wales, about half a hour away from where I live to my excitement, and my wife told me on night one that the TV wasn't working, which gave me an opportunity to spin the batteries in the remote where I discovered these beauties. Please could you check the batteries robot databases to see if they're a new player for me, Yong Lee. Keep the good of work across all your shows in love. I love them all. Tony Potter, potentially the official Lucan Pete's your civil servant. Have we had one of them before? Now, that is of interest. Sorry, let me do the battery first. I mean, I was practically a civil
Starting point is 00:28:34 servant back of the day, so... You haven't had a job in the civil service for like 20 plus years? you never forget. It's like riding a bike. What don't you forget? Hoovering up that money. What don't you forget? Hoovering up that public money. Bureaucracy.
Starting point is 00:28:44 You never forget it. Bureaucracy. You never forget it. Did you have one of those touch in, touch out time cards for Flexit Time? Did I have Flexi Time? Well, I was an agency worker for a long time
Starting point is 00:28:55 and then got a proper job. Because when we worked at the Office of National Statistics, me and my friends in the Civil Service. I forgot about Flexi Time. We had these cards. Yeah. At the end of your lunch break,
Starting point is 00:29:04 you had to swipe them in. No, it was on the honour system. Oh, was it? I used to just get one of us take it in terms, just swipe all of them back in. Anyway, Yong Lee.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Tony, they are a very, very rare battery, but I'm afraid they're not new players because Andy sent these in back in May, but this is only the second time we've ever seen them.
Starting point is 00:29:25 So they've only been sent in twice. Once in May and once now. But not a new player, I'm afraid. So no new players this week, but a very good effort from Yong Lee, particularly. Yeah, and some beautiful,
Starting point is 00:29:35 almost luminous writing on the side of the Younglee as well. The logo itself is terrible, but the size 8-A bit, I think it looks like it's almost like glow in the dark. It's very much, but it's pleasing. It is pleasing. All right, then,
Starting point is 00:29:47 let's get out of here. This has been the Luke and Pete Show for another Thursday. We'll be back on Monday. Look after sales. Hello at Lungipat Show.com is the way to get in touch. So bloody do it for crying out. The Luke and Pete Show is a stack production.
