Starting point is 00:00:00 We're back! With the Luke and Pete show. It's a Thursday. I love a Thursday because it's next to Friday and Friday, I get that Friday feel. I get very excited.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Noddy Holder at the start there. It's sort of, yeah. I think you stumbled upon an impression. Why doesn't Noddy Holder do a summer song? A summertime smash? Do it again. It's summer!
Starting point is 00:00:28 It's not bad. It's better than your It's Been. What would Noddy Holder possibly be celebrating? It's Whitson! What do you reckon? He could do Schools Out, couldn't he? Alice Cooper's Schools Out. But we've only got Schools Out.
Starting point is 00:00:45 That's a problem, isn't it? Yeah. We've talked about Noddy Holder and his Christmas song. I think him and Roy Wood, is it? The guy from Wizard? Yeah. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day. What is it?
Starting point is 00:00:54 Three, four hundred thousand pounds a year each? It's not bad. It's not bad. However which way you slice it. It's not bad when you consider that back in the day they probably had a few beers, a few jars, and they probably thought, let's do a Christmas song. And we'll never have to work again.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Wasn't Roy Wood in ELO? It's possible. I think you might be right. So, I mean, he's probably absolutely coining it in. Because ELO, I mean, Mr. Blue Sky in like, after, what was that film? I'm not sure what film it was part of. Eternal Sunshine.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Crackin' Fun. Oh, it's a brilliant movie beautiful film it's absolutely brilliant yeah it's yeah it obviously had a bit of a
Starting point is 00:01:29 re-upping at that point and you sort of you can't really sort of go a few days without hearing it really fascinating so he apparently founded ELO
Starting point is 00:01:38 while he was in the move with Jeff Lynne right okay and you said I look like which is disappointing did I? I don't think I've ever said that when I had curly hair
Starting point is 00:01:44 and a big beard possibly you commented that I look like, which is disappointing. Did I? I don't think I've ever said that. When I had curly hair and a big beard. Possibly. You've commented that on one of my Instagram posts. I cannot believe it cut so deep. I don't know if he was around when they did Mr. Blue Sky, though. Right, okay. I think it might be a bit later on. I'm not sure, though.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I wasn't expecting to talk about Roy Wood today, so I can't tell you. My knowledge isn't brilliant. Anyway, this is the Luke and Pete Show. I'll do a couple of bits of admin before we start, I think, this time around. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the place to email us in anything you want to know, ask us any questions,
Starting point is 00:02:15 any topics you want us to talk about. Maybe just email in with a word in the subject, and we'll talk about that word. And we won't know what it is until we're in here. Maybe we'll do that next week. At Luke and Pete Show is the Twitter and the Instagram, which is manned expertly
Starting point is 00:02:29 by our friend and producer Rory, who's still on his holidays, the little bastard. He's not little actually, he's massive. Massive. He'll do you, mate. He could do actually.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Three-story Rory we call him, don't we? Peter, what's been going on? You said earlier you're a big fan of Thursdays. You're looking forward to Friday because it's a Thursday. Good for you. What's going on? Big fan. What has been going on in my life earlier you're a big fan of Thursdays. You're looking forward to Friday because it's a Thursday. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:02:45 What's going on? Big fan. What has been going on in my life? Do you regret the shout that you thought that Jack Asher would an Oscar?
Starting point is 00:02:51 No. You're doubling down on that. I'm doubling down on that. I think it's great. People getting it and sitting in
Starting point is 00:02:57 exploding musical chairs. Wee Man getting propelled over a thing. Did you see Wee Man at the wrestling? Oh, it was good.
Starting point is 00:03:03 No? What happened? He picked up Sammy Zane and sort of body slammed him it was like Hulk versus Andre
Starting point is 00:03:10 back in Wrestlemania 2 very nice with his pythons yeah it was astonishing people ask us a lot of questions about stack and how it works
Starting point is 00:03:17 and you've just mentioned Wrestle Me there I'll tell you how it works Pete does loads of podcasts yeah and then we make money off them
Starting point is 00:03:23 can we monetise my illness on that no yeah I've oh I tell you what you need to watch an Apple TV show
Starting point is 00:03:33 called Severance Severance it's not the theme show it sounds crap yeah I've not got Apple TV it's the one it's one of the few
Starting point is 00:03:41 streaming services that neither my wife I have access to has discovered yet that she needs. And I haven't. I don't really know how to do it. How do you even do it?
Starting point is 00:03:48 Neither do I. I download them. Just download them, mate. Just download them sometimes. But do you know how to. How would I even get to Apple TV? There'll be an app on your TV. Have you got a smart telly?
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, I've got a couple of them, brother. Well, just install the app, mate. I put a big smart TV in the spare room so I could play PUBG, didn't I? You didn't need to be smart, did you? You should get a monitor. Get a big curved monitor to gank your... What's it called when you frag?
Starting point is 00:04:15 To frag someone. To frag some noobs. Where's the word gank come from? I don't know. So I had a monitor for PUBG, but it wasn't big enough for me to be able to do what I needed to do. I needed big screens to be able to spot people in the distance okay right so a big tv works much better you need high
Starting point is 00:04:30 refresh rate 120 hertz you need um 4k display yeah all that good stuff but the one thing i do find about my tv i've got a tv from lg and i've always used lg in the past not i'm not saying this for any sponsorship reasons no this is an organic mention for lg i've always used their tv ubiquitous aren't they lg like they're they i don't know what they did them and samsung in LG in the past. I'm not saying this for any sponsorship reasons. No. This is an organic mention for LG. I've always used their TV. Ubiquitous, aren't they, LG? Like, they... I don't know what they did. Them and Samsung in, like, about 10 years ago
Starting point is 00:04:50 just really flooded the market with affordable... affordable screens. This is... LG I've got is the very first LG I've ever had where the screen
Starting point is 00:04:59 burns into the screen. Oh, burned in. Yeah. How do you get on? That's really interesting. It doesn't last for that long but if I say for example
Starting point is 00:05:07 I'm watching an iPlayer show on it I pause it I go and get a cup of tea I come back I press play and the bar is still up there interesting not sure
Starting point is 00:05:15 I thought that only happened with like plasma TVs it only happened with CRTs used to be if you were in like a betting shop they'd always like the 1340 from AirDock
Starting point is 00:05:24 burned in on the bottom of the screen but you don't see it quite as often nowadays people are concerned about absolute heads are absolutely concerned about their £1000 telly burning in. There was a guy who kept his
Starting point is 00:05:36 LED I can't remember what it's called he kept his switch turned on on Breath of the Wild on one particular screen and yeah he left it on for like 300 hours
Starting point is 00:05:51 500 hours and he's gone it's burned in was it on purpose? yeah he did it on purpose to test it out I thought you were going to say he did that so he could have
Starting point is 00:05:57 like a little picture a little art piece like people have a fireplace on their telly you used to do, didn't you? Turn it on to a little fireplace setting, so it looks like if you're entertaining, and maybe you haven't got a fireplace,
Starting point is 00:06:13 flip the fireplace setting on the telly, it feels like you've got a sweet, cracking fireplace. I have seen some sort of people who have those tellies on the wall that look like paintings, but they're just static. It's just a static like really nice LED panel that you press a button and it suddenly turns into a telly. You're like, wow, I didn't even realise that was a fucking telly.
Starting point is 00:06:31 That's nice. Yeah. Photo frames as well, isn't it? Photo frames, yeah. There was this one that was available on Facebook Marketplace and one was selling, which was a vertical TV. Right. Like that?
Starting point is 00:06:42 Yeah, like that. And a press of a button on the remote, it goes and flips it around sort of thing. So it's like conserved space. You can just have a little picture on
Starting point is 00:06:49 there. You can stream content from your phone. It's amazing stuff. Someone's trying to ring you by the way. Oh, who's trying to
Starting point is 00:06:54 ring me? Who is it? No, sometimes. Our resume starts in now. Oh, it's a reminder? It's a reminder. Yeah, whenever
Starting point is 00:07:02 you're unavailable, my phone lights up and says Luke unavailable. I don't know how to turn it off. I'm quite pleased about that. Yeah. Yeah, whenever you're unavailable, my phone lights up and says, Luke unavailable. I don't know how to turn it off. I'm quite pleased about that. Yeah, nice to know you're unavailable. Doesn't happen very often, does it?
Starting point is 00:07:10 Don't even try. I'm always available, baby. I'm always on, baby. Always available. I'm off to the, I'm actually off to the, we're recording the show a little bit earlier than when it comes out.
Starting point is 00:07:17 It is. I'm actually off to the Norfolk Broads on Friday. Oh, beautiful. Tomorrow, yeah. Well, it will be Friday before this comes out. So, yeah, I've never been there before. You been there? Norfolk Broads.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Is that what you said? Yeah. You okay? No, I'm not. No, have I been there? Where's Norfolk Broads? So, it's like an expanse of water caught in Norwich, in Norfolk, funnily enough. And you can hire a boat, rent a boat.
Starting point is 00:07:44 What? And go and spend some time out on the water. Oh, no, I haven't been there, actually. I hope it's going to be a bit like the Egyptians in Philip Pullman novels. Right, okay. Where you can kind of cruise around. There's a lot of... What's happened there, then?
Starting point is 00:07:58 Probably left over from the Ice Age, is it? I know, but look at it, though. It's just massive bits of water. Oh, by the way, speaking of that... We're at Norfolk Broads just massive bits of water that's just in the middle of Norway speaking of that we're at Norfolk Broads a couple of people sent in a sorry wait
Starting point is 00:08:08 I'm following this Norfolk Broads I'm going through Brampton Burg it's like Alan Partridge Ingwerth Thetford Forest Itteringham
Starting point is 00:08:16 Little Barningham yes you know I said about my friend Phil who saw what he saw at Loch Ness yes a couple of people
Starting point is 00:08:24 sent in an explanation. Whale penis. Yeah. Whale penis flopping about. That's a bigger story. Jackass. Whale version. There's a big whale
Starting point is 00:08:31 in Loch Ness with a gigantic penis. Yeah, and it's a normal sized penis. For the whale. For the whale. But for you and I, it's a big penis.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I wouldn't like to take it on. Get that between two bits of plastic resin. Get on your endoscope. If you got that between two bits of plastic resin, you on your endoscope. If you got that between two bits of plastic resin, you could probably do a kind of penile bridge
Starting point is 00:08:48 across Loch Ness. You could. It'd be like that big one that connects Sweden and Norway, wouldn't it? Yeah. Is that made of meters? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:56 That's the technical term for the shaft of a penis. A meters. A meters. Yeah. Not in my case. M-E-A-T-U-S. Anyway, so Norfolk Broads.
Starting point is 00:09:08 It is. It'll be a lot of fun, won't it? You get on a little boat with your pals and have a few beers and play some board games. Fantastic. Who are you going with? Just your mates? Dan, Tommy, Duncan and Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Duncan and Jimmy. All the Peaky Blinders. Yeah, yeah. Yes, it should be fun. Fantastic. I'm going for a little set-to in Milan next weekend. Who are you with? The part that you've got access to?
Starting point is 00:09:28 With Al. Quantum Computer Al. Quantum Computer Al. Yeah. He was born in Italy, gives all kinds of big licks that he knows how to speak Italian. We're calling us bluff people.
Starting point is 00:09:39 We're about to find out. Yeah. And don't tell him, but I've made a T-shirt, right? Yeah. Like a shit-stacked-to T-shirt. But it's, but I've made a T-shirt, right? Yeah. Like a shit-stacked T-shirt. But it's him and Captain Tom on a T-shirt. He gets so embarrassed easily.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I'm just going to wear it around town in Al's face and Captain Tom on it. Is it just the two of you? No, no, no. There's a couple of others. Captain Tom T-shirt. Captain Tom and Captain Al together at last. So you haven't heard from Al
Starting point is 00:10:03 for the last couple of weeks because he's been like 24 hours on Duolingo yes exactly yeah and his chickens are about to come out of the room and he did the weekend go Pete you have to know
Starting point is 00:10:11 he tried to get away like a Dwight Schrute oh my German is pre-industrial and mainly religious so people would understand it yeah yeah okay
Starting point is 00:10:18 do you reckon what you do well I think the last Italian conversation he had was with an Italian pizza proprietor down Holloway Road
Starting point is 00:10:28 on the phone explaining that the pizza had come back in the box all sort of bunched up and all he could say was the pizza is a ball. The pizza is a ball. That's all you need.
Starting point is 00:10:37 That's all you need. Do you know what? There's a funny story about that. So I can't... I've got to try and tell this story about name and name because I don't want to betray someone's confidence.
Starting point is 00:10:44 But let's just say there was a guy who was purporting to be a Italian football expert okay
Starting point is 00:10:55 yeah and now people are going to listen and go well you're talking about James Horncastle I'm not talking about James Horncastle he is an Italian football expert
Starting point is 00:11:00 he does speak almost flawless Italian and he spent plenty of time living in Rome and around Rome it's not James you do not get a haircut like that without being
Starting point is 00:11:08 in Europe for that long yeah and his wife is a is literally a scholar of like Roman history PhD and all sorts those guys are the real deal it's not them
Starting point is 00:11:17 I know what people think it is but it isn't anyway this guy he was when football Twitter was bubbling up and people were kind of saying
Starting point is 00:11:23 oh this is a whole new way of being a football expert. Right. Yeah. And the best ones of those, I guess, broke through into the mainstream and the rest of them were just fucking left where they were. This guy claimed to be,
Starting point is 00:11:33 uh, half Italian, spoke perfect Italian, was based in Italy, uh, and was going to all these games and everything. And, um,
Starting point is 00:11:42 people started to suspect that may not be the case and one i'm quite um enterprising kind of investigative i mean basically these people are journalists right so they're trying to find stories yeah so they're gonna better get to the bottom of this one i'm sure and they did and to cut a long story short one of them called his uh phone which is purported to be like an Italian phone and it just forwarded to a a woman who turned out to be his wife
Starting point is 00:12:10 answering from like Yorkshire in a really broad like Sheffield action or something and turns out the whole thing
Starting point is 00:12:18 was a complete facade complete ruse and that licks back nicely to our small town bullshitters from last Monday yes and who was that footballer
Starting point is 00:12:25 was it in oh god not Yerimina obviously there was a footballer in Australia who sort of pretended that he was
Starting point is 00:12:32 a football expert oh Nelly Yoa Nelly Yoa don't mention him because every time we mention him he fucking gets in touch he gets into
Starting point is 00:12:39 slicing on the ends let me call the show and tell you my side of the story what the side of the story is that you're not a footballer and you said you were
Starting point is 00:12:43 what's possibly going to be what's going to be the ingredients into your side of the story that are going to go on the show and tell you my side of the story. What, the side of the story is that you're not a footballer and you said you were? What's possibly going to be, what's going to be the ingredients into your side of the story that are going to make that difference? He's just a vibe merchant. He makes the dressing room great. There's nothing wrong with good vibes. I basically did that when I played out in New Zealand. You can never get in the team.
Starting point is 00:12:57 They like to have me around. They like to have me around. Told some stories. Now I don't believe it. Had a beer. Ten minutes from the end of the game, if we were winning, I'd come on. Fine. I'm fine with it
Starting point is 00:13:06 I know my role anyway Peter so you're off to Milan anything particularly you want to see? no I was given
Starting point is 00:13:15 I was like look lads I'll go anywhere I don't really want to go to Naples again because obviously we've been I've been like 3 times now
Starting point is 00:13:22 I said I've not been to Milan I'll happily go to Milan and then I was like hang on have I been to Milan times now. I said, I've not been to Milan. I'll happily go to Milan. And then I was like, hang on. Have I been to Milan? And then I was like, I looked at my iPhone. Picture me in Milan.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Oh, shit. Well, you're a bit of a European city break guy, weren't you? A European city break guy. I forgot them all, though. Yeah. Could rediscover them. How many lads are going with you? Just three.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Airbnb's got very expensive. We're going to hotels. We're going back to the hotel, the common or garden hotel. The Airbnb's got very expensive we're going to hotels we're going back to the hotel the common or garden hotel the Airbnb's are too expensive I'm going to Portugal in June right
Starting point is 00:13:51 to with a couple of my a few of my friends I haven't seen a lot of them for ages it's going to be great and we're going to an Airbnb and they've got a mechanism in the Airbnb
Starting point is 00:13:59 I was checked I said I'll definitely come they invited me I haven't seen them for ages I said yeah I'll definitely come I love it yeah whatever it is I'll come and I booked the flights and everything and then after I'd booked it. They invited me. I haven't seen them for ages. I said, yeah, I'll definitely come. I love it, yeah. Whatever it is, I'll come. And I booked the flights and everything.
Starting point is 00:14:07 And then after I'd booked it all, they sent me the Airbnb links, in case you want to see where we're staying. Looked at it. I noticed in the Airbnb write-up, and I've only ever used Airbnb once, ever, to go to Devon, and it was fine. The Airbnb, in this case,
Starting point is 00:14:20 has got a mechanism in the house that if the noise reaches over a certain amount of decibels, it cuts all the electricity. That's so clever. So it kills the stereo, basically. That is beautiful. It says we're in a residential zone, you can't make so much noise.
Starting point is 00:14:37 And they only activate it after 10pm. Yes, okay. You can do what you want before that. Yeah. And I just thought that was really kind of clever. But it's not that clever because I remember I used to run a club night
Starting point is 00:14:47 at the windmill in Brixton for those people listening who know London Brixton South London you know what I'm talking about I've been in a few nights
Starting point is 00:14:54 where you can see the monitor sort of going over it's really annoying me and my friend Duncan who's coming to the North of Broadsemy we used to book artists
Starting point is 00:15:02 and we went through a phase of booking quite noisy punky kind of electronic bands. Do you remember the Sunshine Underground? Yes. We booked them. Right. Great lads, really great show.
Starting point is 00:15:12 They must have tripped the decibel meter in the venue four or five times. Have you ever been there when that's happened? What happens? Everything shuts off. Everything just shuts off. You just hear a brr, brr, brr, brr, like that. And then they have to
Starting point is 00:15:25 fire it back up again don't do that again and then if it happens again it happens again so the technology has existed for a while yeah oh fascinating
Starting point is 00:15:32 you love a bit of that don't you I do because I'm usually the one booking the Airbnb really so if it gets too loud but it's become too expensive now yeah
Starting point is 00:15:40 in kind of like more cities there just seems to be people are sort of going oh I'm skint can I have some more money please we have been I think we've been sponsored by Airbnb at some point
Starting point is 00:15:49 in the past so we should probably say you know maybe there's another side to the story probably isn't it let's have a break when we come back
Starting point is 00:15:56 we're going to do some more emails and before we do that we're going to do some battery brands so very exciting don't go anywhere we'll see you in a minute we're back with the look of Peter Shaw Part 2.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And since it's a Thursday, we basically talk about batteries for about five minutes in the email section. What's been sent in this week? You're doing it. I'm searching, right? All right, then. I'll do that, then.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Sean Walters, it's his second time emailing batteries. I have Dickie Toys and Kiddyland. I think Kiddyland, Kiddyland's a toy shop in Harajuku in Japan, so maybe there's a connection there. I don't know. Sean says, keep up the good work, or shall I say shambles?
Starting point is 00:16:37 Yeah, so the fifth person to send in Kiddyland, sure, I'm afraid. I'm not sure, Dickie Toys. Dickie Toys. D-I-C-K-I-E Toys. Yeah, you're not the first person to send those in either. Joshua, our friend Joshua sent those in. I'm afraid Dickie Toys Dickie Toys D-I-C-K-I-E you're not the first person to send those in
Starting point is 00:16:46 either Joshua our friend Joshua sent those in Martin sent those in so you're at the very least the third person to send those in
Starting point is 00:16:53 never mind thanks for your effort Sean but you're not quite there that'll teach him calling us a shambles I'll tell you what though producer Roy
Starting point is 00:17:00 is a massive puppet Sean here Sean also sent two other batteries in New Leader and Vinny absolutely not worth mentioning so much shade being thrown in his head's on the beach isn't it
Starting point is 00:17:12 Bailey from Kansas City hello Bailey a feeble attempt at finding a new battery brand says producer Rory Luke and Pete I'm writing to you with minimal hope that I've located a new battery brand I will admit my hopes
Starting point is 00:17:25 were high when opening my new Bluetooth keyboard and finding a GP Alkaline oh get out I mean get out good god
Starting point is 00:17:31 GP Alkaline seemed to be included with all new Logitech products I thought about not even sending in this feeble attempt you shouldn't have done
Starting point is 00:17:39 to be quite frank because GP one of the most popular brands we've had on this show I think possibly the most popular brand because it's in all show. I think possibly the most popular brand. Because it's in all of Samsung stuff as well, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:17:47 GP Ultra, I think. GP Alkaline. 32 times. But then I remembered what my grandma said every time she'd buy a lottery ticket. You can't win if you don't play. She even won $100,000. So maybe I can find a new battery brand. Same thing, right?
Starting point is 00:18:00 Well, you know, steal some of her money. Buy some cheap Chinese electronics. And you might find a new one. Yeah, from Alibaba you're the 33rd person to send those in I'm afraid so it's no good I'm afraid
Starting point is 00:18:10 Lars Ellis are new players in museums permissible good afternoon guys I mean let's see emailing in to see if batteries that's to be found
Starting point is 00:18:19 as museum exhibits are permissible to be entered as new players the story is that today I was exploring these sometimes quite baffling layers of the tate modern came across an exhibit of items found down by the riverbank in circa 1999 next to the tate modern building among this collection
Starting point is 00:18:34 is a set of woolworths high power plus double a batteries of all places as part of the exhibit can i submit this as a new player i do understand that there's a previous rule in place stating the brand of batteries are not to be accepted. However, my argument here is that the brand no longer exists. This could somehow circumvent this rule as the batteries are no longer to be sold in shops. Furthermore, I would put it to you that batteries are so
Starting point is 00:18:57 significant that they are an exhibit in an established London institution that tape modern. These batteries should be accepted on the grounds of historical significance. Please find picture attached Lars Ellis. Now, I would say that you have to own the batteries. Yeah. You have to own the batteries or know someone who owns the batteries.
Starting point is 00:19:19 You can't just walk, you can't just go on a website and go, look at this battery we haven't featured, or you can't go in a museum and go, look at this battery we haven't featured, or you can't go in a museum and go, look at this battery we haven't featured. You don't own that, you have no stake in it, I want you to have skin in the game. I think it has to be in an item of electronics that you've either owned or at least had access to using. Right, yes.
Starting point is 00:19:39 You know what I mean? Airbnb. If you're in Airbnb and there's an air conditioning control and there's a battery in there, you can have that. I think ultimately, what I would like also, I agree with you Pete,
Starting point is 00:19:48 but what I would also like to say is that, I mean, it's all well and good, but Andrew Jones has already sent them in before anyway, so it doesn't matter. He sent them in on the 10th of September,
Starting point is 00:19:58 my friend, so you are not even a new player, even while trying to circumvent all kinds of archaic rules and finding loopholes. I admire that I like the conversation around it
Starting point is 00:20:07 we must have rulings on these types of things however Lars to get yourself even out the starting blocks my friend it needs to be the first time we've seen it
Starting point is 00:20:14 and on this occasion it isn't if you've got any battery brands that you've found in stuff hello at lookapete show.com Luke can I throw at you a little email from Ollie
Starting point is 00:20:22 please do lovely hi lookapete this might be very boring but I just listened to your podcast where you mentioned the channels like Dave TV and I throw at you a little email from Ollie. Please do. Lovely. Hi, Luke and Pete. This might be very boring, but I just listened to your podcast where you mentioned the channels like Dave TV and how they make any money, especially around original series.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I did a bit of digging around this a few years back. I know I'm very dull, and it turns out Dave and other UK TV channels, Gold, Drama, Yesterday, are all owned by BBC Studios, a subsidiary of the BBC. It seems then that the BBC is selling their programmes to themselves
Starting point is 00:20:44 to broadcast on commercial TV. This gives them additional revenue stream, or a additional revenue stream, away from the traditional licence fee. I don't know whether that's any interest to you, but here we go. It reminds me very much of my dad sending me a childish drawing, a meme that he'd forwarded on,
Starting point is 00:21:03 of a car, a drawing of a car yeah and then on the top of the car attaches something big arm and then a magnet so that the car would be attracted to the magnet and therefore have some kind of level of perpetual motion without using petrol because the the car is metallic and the the magnet is obviously attracting that metal. Why doesn't that work? It's like a self-licking lollipop, right? Self-licking lollipop, yeah. Perpetual motion's impossible, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:21:33 Yes, I think so, yeah. Yeah, there's lots of people over the years who've claimed, particularly in Victorian times, to have invented one. Yeah. Quite a fascinating part of history, really. Imagine if someone could unlock that power, though. It would be good. With a quantum computer.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Speak to Al. Is he taking it with him to Milan? To be fair to Oli I do think that's quite interesting. I didn't know
Starting point is 00:21:50 that and that makes perfect sense because obviously they're always looking for new revenue streams. What I would say Oli keep it under
Starting point is 00:21:57 your hat. Don't tell Nadine Doris because if she finds out about this. She might want to downstream some movies and then
Starting point is 00:22:04 we'll all be in trouble. That's a very localized joke I apologize for that to our international listeners. On that note Peter I
Starting point is 00:22:10 think it's probably about time that we say goodbye. I think we need Galvey we've got things to do mate. Well you've got to do Wrestlemania.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I've got to do Wrestlemania. And I've got to go and do some other stuff. I'm not allowed on Wrestlemania am I? You haven't watched
Starting point is 00:22:22 day two of Wrestlemania 38. I haven't watched any wrestling. I was just remembering about the calendar. I did put my endoscopy on the studio bookings on Friday.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Yeah, we were confused about that. So people can be, so people are going, why has Pete put an endoscopy? Why does someone have an endoscopy in the studio on Friday? I mean, if you are having it in here, make sure you've got the camera. Record it, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Well, I mean if you are having it in here make sure you've got
Starting point is 00:22:45 the camera record it yeah for sure well I mean you've got to figure out which one it is up the bum hole down the throat
Starting point is 00:22:49 down the throat is fine down the throat is fine up the bum hole down the throat Laurie knows what to name this episode
Starting point is 00:22:57 and I was just going to finish by saying that we've got a lot of wrestling fans among us are stable because Adam from the offensive is a
Starting point is 00:23:04 huge wrestling fan I know a couple of guys in the office are you could do a big like supergroup kind of show at some point I think you forget
Starting point is 00:23:10 that it's always like people have sort of kept up knowing about wrestling they're always like the clever people I think you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:23:18 are you being serious what do you mean well Mark's quite clever what do you mean that's what I mean they're always the clever people
Starting point is 00:23:22 you're not clever I'm not saying I'm a wrestling fan am I I am now because I've got you are quite clever. What do you mean? That's what I mean. They're always the clever people. You're not clever. I'm not saying I'm a wrestling fan, am I? I am now, because I've got... No, you are quite clever, in a different way. But it's always the clever, intelligent, funny people, I think.
Starting point is 00:23:32 But you're clever because you can fix this studio, and I don't even know what you're doing, but you will also leave... I don't know how to have a studio. You will also leave your glasses in the back of a taxi. I'm having a...
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yeah, I need a book. How do I get new glasses? I've not done it for, like, five years. We'll see you next week. Thanks very much for listening to the Luke and a taxi.
