Luke be sure.
Luke Pete's with you for another day out, if you will.
It's another day out.
Pete and Luke, on a day out, doing things.
We're inside.
We are inside.
We've spent some time outside recently, haven't we?
We have.
I spent a bit of time with the partner you have access to last week.
I mean, you were there.
I've done to see as I made it sound.
I don't know why I said it like that.
I followed her in a park.
We had a great moment.
Me and the part of the you had access to, we bonded.
really well because she came straight over to me
and was like, that thing you said
about Pete being a big point scorer
at home, I punched the air when you said that.
I said, well, it's true, isn't it? She was absolutely true. And you came
bowling over and a tack her with one hand and a beer in the other.
Sounds like two points scorers
uniting for a home field goal.
I'm not denying my position.
You'll do that. Don't have a glass of water to settle yourself.
to settle your nerves
before you get stuck in.
I'm drinking out of me
Stanley Cup.
It's absolutely massive.
A Stanley Cup that I bought Sarah
that she's never used.
Thank you.
Another point being scored
by you there.
Yeah, that was my point.
We bonded.
We bonded over that.
You bonded, yeah.
I said, look, you know, he is like that.
I know he's like that.
I'm sorry that he's like that at home
when tensions are probably considerably higher
because you've got a toddler in the house,
and there's lots to do.
Proximity.
Smell.
You can smell me.
I have a chance to
to tap out of the Donaldson connection if I need to.
Right, yeah.
I'll probably arrest.
Yeah, the Donn and Sock connection.
Yeah, and then you, she doesn't have that option, sadly.
But we bonded and I think we both felt that we were right on that particular issue.
Yeah, I mean...
Did it anger you?
It angers me because when someone causing a point score, it's very hard to say anything
that doesn't sound like you're trying to score a point.
There's no, you know, you can either, you can either kind of,
do what Garner did,
down tools and just pack the box
with defence-minded players.
Or you can
go for the counter-attack. But
the counter-attack does mean you might score a goal
at one point.
But you look really, you are also, weirdly, you're also really defensive.
You're also really defensive.
It's this haram ball that I've got
play. It's the modern game. I'm trying
to score goals. I'm Kevin Keegan's
entertainers in a world of, you know,
Arsenal. Do you know what you need to do?
It's like you have an argument at home about something.
So it's about the, you know, I don't know, it could be about anything.
And you're proven to be right.
That never happens, though.
It doesn't, never to the degree I need it to.
So what I'm saying is to not be a point to.
That's unfamiliar to me.
But to not be a point that you could just not acknowledge it, just move on,
knowing that you know yourself that you're right and that's fine.
Nobody does that.
I just want, I just want, well, basically, I want someone else to acknowledge that a point has been scored.
maybe during like maybe I have like a counter system or a gold star I want a gold star look that's what I need you know what you missed an opportunity to score a point on me right because I said on one of the round but episodes you would have heard it if you went on right you might even been on it that for the first World Cup watch party you were almost two hours late right right and I just made a joke out of that and everyone had a little chuck and everyone moved on with them so you didn't say anything and then for the second World Cup watch party for various different reasons I was actually taking
two hours late.
Well, there you go.
But you didn't mention it.
But what was your reasons?
I was having,
I was having,
I was having,
I was having,
I was having,
I was having,
I was having,
I was having,
I was having,
it just ran long.
Sometimes things run long.
Yeah.
And to be honest,
it,
it does serve the company
better if I
don't turn up to a pub
too early.
Because let's face it,
if I'm turning up to a,
to do,
um,
a brewery at Hapas 4,
whatever,
and we're ending the show
at,
midnight.
I mean, this entire occasion did involve you ending up,
climbing up some scaffolding dressed as Richard Keyes,
with a stolen high vest on, a high vis vest on.
A high vis vest on. A high vis vest.
A hat hard on.
With a hat hard on.
With a hat hard on.
With a hard on, hat hard on.
So how could it have been worse?
Would you have fallen off the scaffold?
Well, that's for me.
That was me without those two hours of drinking in them, to be quite frank.
And I had, and the sure the next day isn't the better for it.
And the thing that gets me is, like,
I can be hung over, but I can still be, you know,
full of the joys of spring when it comes to England.
But if England don't put in a performance, Marcus is bereft.
I've never seen the man so bereft.
It's incredible.
Yeah, he doesn't get up.
He, like, has a hangover from England.
You see him on the way into the World Watch Party,
and he's on his own listening to World Emotion.
He was listening to it.
It's amazing.
It lives the brand, man, I'm telling you.
He lives the brand. He's great stuff.
The reason I was, the reason I was late is because,
and this is admittedly a first world problem,
so, you know, bear with me,
but this is literally what happened.
Because of the childcare arrangements,
because of the location of where we're doing it,
I had to stay,
because of work,
I had to stay in a hotel
quite,
basically in between the venue and the studio
because I was to work first thing the next day.
And so I got to the hotel
and they said the room
would be ready from 3 o'clock
and it wasn't ready.
So I was like,
I could like,
so I mean, I need it to be ready
because they had done my stuff
and they were quite incompetent.
I didn't really want to leave my stuff with them
because I didn't trust them to get it in the room.
It was a nice hotel, wasn't it?
Not really.
I mean, it's fucking expensive for what it was.
They're so expensive.
Yeah, it's wild.
And I think also it didn't help the fact
that Harry Stiles was doing 54 nights at Wembley Stadium
so the whole world and this dog is staying in London.
How was he getting a residency?
I saw the residency.
It's like 13 gig.
He's massive.
I don't know how many nights it is,
but he is massive.
How are you that big?
That's amazing.
Do you want to hear up the perspective of it, right?
So fast forward a little bit
through the story.
On the way back,
I went to McDonald's to get a burger.
This would have been midnight, probably.
Yeah.
And the one in King's Cross.
There were more Harry Stiles fans
than the We're England fans.
Yeah.
I mean, that's how big it is.
Do you know how much it costs to?
Rent Wembley for a day.
Go on.
I know the Palladium is 22 grand plus VAT.
Yeah.
Million?
300 grand.
Not that bad, is it?
It's not bad, is it?
Is that dry hole?
Do you get all the staff?
Yes, I think
Are you getting all the staff, I think, for that?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
That is not bad.
It's not bad.
It's near bad.
It's near bad.
Yeah, anyway, so basically the point was,
so the room wasn't ready for a while.
So when I finally got the room ready,
I went into the room and it was about 35 degrees in there.
And I was like, okay, this is like,
this is obviously unacceptable.
I'm not going to be able to sleep in this room.
So we need to get the aircon going,
or we need to move rooms.
Yeah.
So I'll get the aircon on.
So they put the aircon.
on on, so I could see there was actually echo in the room.
It went off again after about half an hour when I was getting ready.
It's like, why has it gone off again?
Oh, no, we'll put it back on.
When I got home back to the hotel that night, it had gone off again.
Is it one of those things where you put the card in?
No, no, no, it wasn't even that.
They have to do it manually from the reception.
And there's no phone in the room, right?
This feels like a converted, which is one of those hotels where it's just a converted Victorian house.
I was on the fourth floor.
There's no lifts.
I'd keep going down there because they wouldn't respond to the room.
to the WhatsApp they said was monitored 24-7.
Anyway, the whole thing was a bit of a shit show.
And so it made me late and quite flustered.
The one thing you don't want to be when it's like 33 degrees outside is like in a
hurry and flustered.
So I just really tone it down and just try and get there slowly so I wasn't a sweaty
mess when I turned up.
So that's the reason anyway.
All right.
Well, I rented a basically like a sort of, like a Japanese sort of capsule hotel in
Tottenham Court Road.
That's a really depressing sentence.
Saturday gig.
and I'm just because I'm not on the show on the Sunday
I gave the hotel room to Marcus
but I've yet to get his review on it
so I need to get his review
or his money presumably
yeah I'm not going to take any money off him
but I will take pictures
you want to know what's going on in there
I want to know what it's like a Tottenham Court Road
based you know 70 quid a night
capsule hotel fascinating
what does that actually look like
in real life there.
So what does it mean
when it's a capsule?
I don't think we
really sort of do
capsules in this country
properly.
You know,
capsules are just like
it would be like
you know like
when they load missiles
in submarines,
you know,
there's that kind of capsule
like a tube
that goes off
into the distance.
That's a proper capsule.
That sounds horrible.
Well, I mean,
it's individually
air conditioned.
They're pretty well insulated.
There's a lot of privacy.
You know,
you close the door
and you know,
you could be anywhere.
No,
you can't sign up in it.
It's a capsule.
But I think,
I think these are a little bit larger.
They're kind of more pods than capsules.
But an incredible development.
It's amazing how the short people live.
I like to hear it.
You'd be fine, in it?
You just can't stand up.
I did a nice room on the Caledonian sleeper once.
And the Wi-Fi have access to who's five foot one.
Yeah.
It's like, this is amazing.
It's great.
It's really nice.
And I was like, I feel like I'm in a fucking tin of sardines.
I can't move.
I literally cannot move.
Yeah.
You're not built for some money.
aren't you, yes.
No way.
I could never serve on a submarine.
No, no.
Do you know what's mad?
Did you know that the first ever,
I believe I'm right in saying,
the first ever working submarine
was in, used, developed in the US Civil War.
Right.
Oh, wow.
How was that?
It's literally like in the 18th.
What use would you have for that?
Well, do you know how they used?
It's a land war, wasn't it?
You know, it's basically, it was basically,
no, no, there was definitely a lot.
There was a lot of kind of sea stuff.
Right, okay, fair.
A lot of blockage of ports and stuff like that.
And the, the way that it worked,
and I am not an expert on this,
so bear with me,
I'm fairly certain the way it worked is
it was basically a suicide machine.
They basically put like six people in this submarine
with like a big corkscrew thing
that you had to manually do that with
to get the propeller to work.
Yeah.
It would go at a maximum of like 10 miles an hour
and on the front of it was a massive explosive device.
Right.
And he just fucking plowed it into a ship
and blew it up and blew themselves up as well.
And the thing that's mad about that is that happened.
I forget the name of it, but you can look it up.
That happened.
Then people were like, oh, that's a good idea.
We'll do more of those.
And that's what they develop from.
If you look at even serving in a submarine in like the First World War even, it is horrific.
But they're even horrific now.
You go down for months and months.
If you die, you get put in front storage.
They don't have fucking service for you.
If you're ill.
You know, if you die, you die pretty much.
and they just stick you in,
they just stick you in,
stick you in,
stick you in cold storage if you die.
A torpedo bay?
In the torpedo bay?
Is it,
does it stink of farts?
Yeah, yeah,
it's like,
things you're allowed to do
and things you want,
and you just don't smoke as well.
You can't have a tab.
Terrible.
Did your old man ever serve
on a submarine?
No, no.
How'd you know this then?
The HMS Penelope.
People talk,
there wasn't asked me anything
on Reddit,
on a submarine man.
What, a modern submariner?
A modern submariner, yeah.
So you can't,
So can they, if they're having a bit of downtime or whatever,
in like in sort of calmer seas,
can they just surface and have a little muck about
and have a tab on the deck?
I don't think so, no.
That would be, would that not give away your location needlessly
when you've got all the crisps you can eat down there?
But do you remember that story of the Russia?
I think it was a Russian submarine who they surfaced
and they couldn't get out and they worked out
is because they had a fucking gigantic walrus on the hatch.
Oh, nice, okay.
Wow.
There's like a three-ton walrus on the hatch.
And they're like, what can't get out?
You'd think you'd want some like outside cameras for that sort of thing.
Because like, you know, you get them on planes, don't you?
You get outside cameras of like what's happening outside the actual submarine itself.
You'd think that you'd be able to see the way of the hatches and what state it's in.
Oh, here we go.
Apparently the most, so a walrus sleep on top of a submarine hatch was a Dutch.
It was a Dutch submarine and a walrus.
named Freya who climbed a board and fell asleep on the deck,
trapping the crew and forcing them to use an alternate hatch.
Isn't that mad?
That's so funny.
What an occupational hazard that is.
Yeah, for me, I think, what's funny,
because when I went to the, this is Partridge,
when I went to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford,
where they were all the planes.
My dad there, he loves a lot of stuff.
My dad's amazing at naming planes,
identifying planes and he loves planes
so he went there
and had a Harry a jump jet you could sit in
and there's a spitfire you could sit in
and I had absolutely zero chance
of getting in either of them
but honestly it was
they're tiny
I just sometimes think to myself
I know we wonder about the Britain
but I think to myself
how many good pilots
did we miss out on
oh because of the size of the things
they're just tall
How much?
It's like you're missing a lot of the talent pool out there.
You can't, for my money,
you can't limit a talent pool to people five foot six and smaller.
Yeah.
What would you be in the war?
What would you have done in the wall?
I would, well, look, I'll give you the,
the fantastic answer and the realistic answer.
The fantastical answer is I would have been an amazing,
really, really good spy in occupied Paris or something.
Right, yeah, like that.
And the real,
answer was I would have been
killed instantly in a battle
for quite simply not listening to the instructions
properly. Desertion.
Instant. No, I'm not coward. I'm not, I'm not, I'll have anything
you've done, but I'm not having coward. There's no way I'm, you can't say I'm a
coward. I'm not a coward. Luke Moore was two hours
late for the war. He got shot.
Shot at Don. It's like in
it's like in Gladiator when the Wacking Phoenix's
turns off his character. Did I miss the battle, father? You missed the
war.
He doesn't want to be there.
Now, I don't think I would be a coward.
What would you be doing?
You are 100% cannon fodder in World War I.
Yeah, I'd be, yeah, I'd be long dead.
I'd just be like, they'd find out of asthma and they'd just put him in the front.
He'd shoot his lungs off.
His lungs shot off.
That would be very sad.
Pete, let's have a quick break.
When we come back, we'll do a bit more of this, shall we?
All right.
We're back at the Looking Pete, sure.
and
I'm trying to log into
the little
Pete show
running out
I think
read some
bloody emails
but it's asking
me
it's Google
is asking me
to log
into the production
to get
access
I'm very annoyed by
you
do you know
what I
legitimately
did the other day
I
went to
the big
supermarket
to try and
find a
watermelon
big enough
that my
son
could wear
it as a pair
of pants
and I couldn't
find them
they only
sell little
ones
in the
in the
in the
supermarkets
it's very
annoying
I've got
some
massive ones
anymore
from the Wi-Fi of access to,
but she was like,
you're not going to find one big enough.
And she would,
and she basically made the point
that in the US,
you'd definitely be to do it,
but you can't do it here.
Yeah,
completely agree.
That's a shame, isn't it?
That's a shame.
Because my son would definitely be up for that.
He loves that stuff.
Yeah.
He loves little jokes.
He loves little kind of practical,
practical jokes and stuff.
Yeah, he's all over there.
Decent.
Decent.
Do you want to do a battery?
I've got a battery here.
Let's do a battery for crying out loud.
Ooh.
It's from our friend,
And Andre.
Andre.
He says,
Hello to Luke and the P.
I almost got locked out
the house I got access to
so I'm changing the battery
for a brand new
Murata.
M-U-R-A-T-A.
In Brazil,
this type of controller
to open and close
your house gate is pretty common.
Thanks,
and I hope to have my third new player.
Well, it's a CR 2032,
Donaldson.
Can you see the photo of it?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I guess
is Murata written
on the
actual battery itself. I believe it is, isn't it?
It is. I can see it and bossed on there.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, I think
that's okay. I think that's broadly fine.
It's pretty down there. It's not pretty. That's great news
for Andre, because that is his hat trick.
That's a brand new player. We've never
had it before. Oh my God. Congratulations to you, Andre.
Congratulations, Andre. And good work on the
good work on the Spanish striker named
battery. Verrata. He's not
spelt the same, is it? Not spelled the same.
but that's a simple little circuit board,
isn't it?
Look at that.
You knocked that up in the afternoon, couldn't you?
Very simple device, isn't it?
Very simple devices, very simple.
I mean, you hope your safety is paramount.
David Evans has been in touch.
Hello to you, David.
He says, hello to Luke and Pete.
I have access to.
I'm a Brit living in British Columbia, Canada.
I wanted to add to your discussion
about tubeless tires that I said to you the other day,
why on earth are we still filling tires with air,
given all the technology we've got access to these days
and why are people still getting punctures
it's dangerous, particularly at high speed,
what's going on?
Dave says it's been standard for the tyres
used in mountain and road biking to be tubeless
for a while now. The tyre rim and valves
are all airtight with the tyre filled with a liquid
latex. What? The tyre is seated
securely on the rim.
Liquid latex. The latex coaxed
coast the inside of the tyre and quickly seals up any small
holes made by thorns and like almost entirely
eliminating flats from small punctures.
That's amazing. What a development?
There's also no inner tube to get pinched between the rim and the ground,
so no flats that way either.
Larger holes are plugged with small bits of rubber
with the latex doing the rest of the ceiling.
It's a brilliant system.
So why this is not used for car tires, I do not know,
maybe the evil tire conglomerate Lego wants people to purchase more tires.
That's amazing.
That's really, really fun.
I thought I was on something there, but I couldn't quite remember why.
I love that it sort of instantly seals the halls just as they go in.
Because I'm having a running battle with the paddling pool,
in my garden.
Okay, tell us more about that.
Because you put too much chlorine in it?
No, no, the chlorine levels are absolutely tip-top
because I test it every day.
But the actual stopper, I think it's got a slow puncture.
I'm just trying to sort of,
I'm just busy battling against, you know,
I'm like King Canute, but a less successful one.
Or a successful one?
At what point do you have to just bite the bullet
and buy a new paddling pool?
It's a good one, though.
And everyone, the family's really enjoying it.
It's the best thing I've ever bought.
The amount of stuff I buy
that have just, it's just been a fucking waste of money
I dropped my phone yesterday.
I bought a phone in Japan when the yen was really fucking cheap
and I dropped the phone and it just,
the screen, the top's gone all bright.
It's just gone all bright and it's taken all the colour out.
I'm so annoyed of myself.
I think, I've known you...
I need to stop.
I've known you since 2000 and, I want to say, six-ish, right?
Obviously, very good friends with your ex-girlfriend
who's moved on.
Oh, I was paling up with my,
always telling up with the ladies I have access to
to conspire against me.
I was good friends at the time.
I haven't seen her for a long time now,
but I follow her life a little bit on Instagram.
She's got an amazing life.
She's done brilliantly well.
Fantastic.
Careful, people are calling you a bully.
I'm not bully.
I'm just so stupid.
I didn't say that.
The people out there say,
call you a bully.
They said it was uncomfortable.
I'm a coward and a bully now,
my cousin to your bullying.
A coward and a money.
It's a beautiful combination.
as a spy in Occupied France.
And now I'm suddenly a coward.
And now I'm a bully as well.
Purely for supporting an independent young woman having a good life.
That's what's come down to.
In reception, in a Parisian hostelry complaining about the aircon in the room.
Madam, can you turn the air conditioning on, please?
Sir, the Nazis are jackbooting their way down the street.
We cannot do your heck in the moment.
Anyway, look, she's had a good life.
It's all I'm saying.
She's doing very well.
Fine.
I knew her quite well, and that's how I knew you.
Right.
And the point I'm going to make...
I've got a paddling pool.
She's got the Bermudan course line.
She has.
Which is...
And I'm fine with that.
In the words of London rapper Morrison, she's leveled up, right?
But...
Hang on, there's a London rapper called Morrison.
Yeah.
That's very enjoyable.
I like him.
Anyway, anyway, I was just going to say, in the 20 years I've known you,
I think you've had more portable cellular telephones than any other human being I've ever met.
my life. Yeah, even the drug dealers.
How many do you reckon you've had?
I don't know.
I don't tend to change them. I do tend to break them lately.
I think the Android ecosystem hasn't treated me fairly, quite frankly.
I reckon you've had 25?
What, since...
You've definitely had more than one a year?
Nah, no. One a year, I think,
on average, is absolutely fine.
It feels like you've always got a different phone whenever I see you.
That's what I feel about it. And it's normally completely unidentified
as well. I've never seen anyone else with it.
Well, the problem is you buy a
Xiaomi 17 Ultra and you just sort of go
can anyone fix this?
You get these exotic
items. Yeah, no one knows what to do of it.
Can anyone fix this if it breaks?
No, is the answer. No.
Speaking of the paddling pool though,
have you seen there's a lot of
internet content about how to
survive best in a heat wave?
Right. Do you have any tips yourself?
How to cope in a heat wave type tips?
Ooh.
Yeah.
There's a few wacky ones out there.
Yeah, I mean, it's all about like,
it's like wear a wet shirt,
close all your windows,
close all your curtains,
you know,
create a through draft,
all that in it.
It's all that business.
It's not going to work though,
is it,
this stuff?
I mean,
ultimately,
we have to admit as a country,
and particularly as a...
We need to adopt the air conditioning.
We just do.
As a city in London,
we're not,
we're not set up for it.
No.
I've got a couple of portable aircon units
and they make a massive difference,
but they're expensive.
Are they air con or are they just to like a,
are they proper aircon?
with like a horse that goes out to the other.
Yeah, you fix the windburn, you seal it up.
Yeah.
They're good.
But I mean, ultimately, what happens is in the modern society is what's obviously happened,
which is that the prices get gout as soon as the, whether it gets hot.
Yeah.
Never buy it where it's hot, yeah.
Yeah, I was bad at the start.
And then they also run out.
I looked this morning, because I was saying to someone in the office,
oh, you need to get one because they were some of their flats,
it's unbearable at the moment.
I looked up on Amazon, you can't get one before the 1st of August now.
Yeah.
They'll all be, I mean, I don't know how much.
that supply chain goes through the Suez
that's Suez Canal, Jesus Christ
somebody canals, I never knew
we'd be sort of talking about so many canals
these days.
The straight of moves is not a canal.
It's not a canal, but like, yeah,
but like thoroughfare,
like water-based thoroughfare.
Yeah.
You reckon that's a problem with you?
I don't know, I mean, like,
remember when we couldn't get anything
because of the Suez Canal for a few days?
Well, that boat,
that got stuck, that shit,
but stuck a little of it.
That was a fucking stinker.
What that is that?
I feel like it should,
I feel that they should widen that,
because that feels like,
That could happen at any time.
And then did you see the,
speaking out,
did you see the guy who,
um,
who they wrote,
South East Water rolled out to explain
while there's going to be a hose pipe ban in,
um,
in large parts of the hottest part of the UK.
Right.
They basically like,
rolled out the meekest,
like,
sympathy garnering bloke.
He was like,
who was just endlessly apologising.
And it was like,
I feel,
I actually felt bad for him.
That's how bad it got.
You know my feelings on water companies.
That's how bad it got.
actually felt bad for the guy because the mere kind of um that hint of some hot weather it goes
to shit southeast water right guess how much right this is fucking insane i know i know i get my
horse about this and people get bored of it but just bear with me on this right how much water
do you think southeast water alone they're not even this not even the whole country it's just like
ken and sussex i guess how much water do you think they're losing
A day through leaks.
A day.
Gallons, liters.
Give it to me a litur.
I've got it here.
In liters.
Okay.
A day, Pete, just in leaks.
It's probably like a million, isn't it?
It's probably like something insane.
Or like 100,000.
It's 100 million liters a day.
Not a water company.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, exactly.
That's exactly right.
You're not a water company.
You are...
You're not even a steward of water at that point.
No, if you have a hundred...
150 dropped edits every podcast episode.
You're not a podcast company, are you?
No, no.
It's a shamble.
If you delete 100 million episodes every year.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
So basically, you make 50 episodes a week and you lose 75.
You're a negative podcast company.
They're a negative podcast company.
They're a fire company.
They're actually a fire company.
The opposite of water.
It's like, the reason it just blows my mind entirely,
It's because this is, we've created a society
wherein this is somehow legitimate.
Yeah.
But the guy can front up and go,
well, we're losing 100 million litres a day.
So, you know, you know,
so you can't use it because we're losing it all?
Where's it going?
Do you know, like how water is attracted to dryness?
Do you know what I mean?
It will cost towards the absence of moisture and that.
Do you reckon that's what they're doing?
Do you reckon they're clearing out all their pipes
so that they can get it back later.
They just sort of like get it.
There must be.
There's no explanation for it how bad it is.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I cannot understand how it's, it's for, it's a man who represents a water company who is saying 850,000 people in this area are not allowed to use their hose pipes because we are losing 100 million litres of water a day.
Incredible.
Absolutely.
Incredible.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
They've done a lovely job there.
It's like being in the supermarket and saying,
thanks for coming in.
Yeah.
You can't buy any food because we've lost it all.
We haven't got any food.
We've lost it all.
Yeah.
A mouse took it.
Can I have 80 pounds, please?
Can I have 80 pounds please?
A mouse took it.
Oh, God.
You just that swarm of mice in Australia?
No, I didn't see the swarm of nice.
I said it to Jim Campbell because he was talking about it.
So basically, there's a,
mouse plague in certain parts of Australia because basically I think there's like this there's
like a situation that's arisen where it's perfect for mice to breed and some of the video
footage of it is frightening like seriously imagine like turning the light on in a farmer's
barn and there are 2,000 mice all just running around right.
Okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
It was frightening.
It reminded me of my late uncle's famous quote in the family.
I might have told you this before when my mom, who was his sister,
kept digging at him, taking the piss out of him,
for being scared of rats.
And he was like, I'm not phobic of rats.
And she was like, you are, you've always been phobic of rats.
He's like, I'm not phobic of rats.
And she kept saying it, and he got pushed to the limit,
and then he just blurted out,
I'm not phobic of rats.
I'm phobic of a gang of rats being led by one rat at the front.
Which is like such a specific...
And imagine what that rat would look like, yeah.
Fantastic.
It's a really specific phobia.
Check out the mice plague.
It's another reason to not go to Australia.
Honestly.
If it's if you needed another one.
I know.
All right then, we'll be back on the next episode of this show.
Fairly obviously.
That's kind of how this one works.
We'll be back on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend.
