Starting point is 00:00:00 you oh gross it's monday the 6th of june how did i get a june we've talked about this so much this uh this show we're just two old men we can't believe it's now june it's now 6th of june 6th of june 6th of june do you think yourself as being old because i'm older than you so yeah how are you feeling right now about how it's all gone? I feel old all the time. I was saying to Charlie earlier, Charlie who's our head of production here,
Starting point is 00:00:32 I was saying to him that what I've found as I've got older is I'm a lot more physically sensitive to things like ailments and bad living and all the rest of it. I was feeling, last few weeks I felt so tired and so kind of de-energized that by like 6pm every day I've been tired. Okay.
Starting point is 00:00:52 But the other day, I basically just said enough is enough. I'm going to have that Floridix. It's advertised on the tube. I don't like taking medication. It's not medication, isn't it just fig juice or something? I haven't taken it.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Right. What I did was, I just said, look, for a few days, I'm just going to eat, I'm going to eat really nicely, really well,
Starting point is 00:01:12 clean eating, for want of a better phrase, and I went to the gym a few times and I feel much better now. Yeah. It's that simple. Yeah. It's that easy.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Is your testosterone just kind of like pumped up a little bit and you just sort of get yourself going? You get angry and shout at people? People will laugh at me for saying this. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Great stuff. Is the elliptical that one? Yeah. No impact, so it's good for my knee. It's, I find... It's me and the mums. It's me and the mums. No, I've got an elliptical at home.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I love it. Have you really? I have, yeah. Would you recommend it? Not the one I've got because I've not used it. I don't know. Yeah, you really have to be, yeah. Would you recommend it? Not the one I've got because I've not used it. I don't know. You really have to be into it, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:01:47 But yeah, no, because it's the same. I can't run because of my knees. How much did it cost you? Oh, it was under lockdown. It was under lockdown prices, so it was when nobody could get anything from Germany.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Right. Because that's where they all made or certainly assembled. Is it? Okay. I think it was about 500 quid. Is it the most expensive coat hanger you've ever bought, do you reckon
Starting point is 00:02:05 pretty much yeah it doesn't even hang coats really is it a good quality one with a screen and everything yeah well it's got a screen but it's not like it's not got an iPad screen or anything it does have this optional app that you can sort of subscribe to and you can
Starting point is 00:02:20 it syncs up how fast you're going and how difficult the trail is to these pre-recorded videos. Huh. Sounds pretty old school. Well, no. So you've got on your mobile phone or your iPad or whatever, you can stick that on the front and it goes as fast as you. So you could pretend you're running around the Rockies
Starting point is 00:02:37 or I don't know, the Thunderdome. I don't fucking know where. But you can run around and it feels like you're... Have you ever used it? I used it quite a few times in lockdown I think it's quite a good workout it's no impact
Starting point is 00:02:49 it is and it does lie that you that you're working harder than you actually are it does sort of go you've eaten 200 calories I'm like
Starting point is 00:02:55 you've not munched up 200 calories no way you say that but I think that's a really basic thing they should be getting right they shouldn't be lying about no they shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I just sort of go, I've not munched a roast dinner. I use the old watch for that. So it's fine. So I set the cardio thing going when I get going and it tells me how many calories I eat up. What, because of how fast your heart rate is?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, yeah. Heart rate, relative effort, and all that kind of stuff. Nice, okay. This is a Garmin, mate. Spare the night. It's a Garmin, mate. But I will go through 700 calories
Starting point is 00:03:22 on the elliptical, mate. I don't think you will though 45 minutes I'm a big unit I'm burning more calories than you are I'm twice your size
Starting point is 00:03:30 I don't know 700 calories seems hard you're about 8 stone wet through I'm a big strong man I'm not strong actually I'm just a big man
Starting point is 00:03:37 that's annoying that's the annoying thing about being me because you won't and you'll be like I'll cry me a river because you can't even
Starting point is 00:03:44 reach the top shelf in the supermarket or whatever and that's your problem my problem is people see me and go he's going to be strong can you help me lift this
Starting point is 00:03:50 do people actually think that though think about how many times in your life on a yearly basis whether you're at your parents or you're with your wife or you're at home
Starting point is 00:03:57 whatever you have to lift stuff it happens quite a lot and people expect you to be strong and when they see someone like me they think he's going
Starting point is 00:04:04 to be strong because as we've talked about before back in the day strong men were just people who could eat a lot of And people expect you to be strong. Yeah. And when they see someone like me, they think he's going to be strong. Because as we've talked about before, back in the day, strong men were just people who could eat a lot of food. Oh, mate, you should have seen me yesterday. I was very impressed with myself. But I'm not strong. If someone wore a pass and saw me
Starting point is 00:04:15 molesting a rug doctor into the back of a Fiat 500, it really was a wonderful... It was like me lifting an Atlas stone. They're really heavy, those things. You could probably put your Fiat 500 in the rug doctor. Similar size. Yeah. What have you got the rug doctor at again?
Starting point is 00:04:30 Dogs, innit? What, so you have to rent a rug doctor every... Dog keep pissing on the floor. Every month. He's got a 15, he's like, that's my fucking ass, I'm going to piss where I want. So he literally takes a piss anywhere at random. Well, yeah, he does.
Starting point is 00:04:41 And then I was like, that stairs not coming up. But no, I've got a rug doctor. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Why are you putting it back in the Fiat 500? Because you only rented it. Well, yeah, he does. And then I was like, that stairs not coming up. But no, I've got a rug docker. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Why are you putting it back in the Fiat 500? Because you only rented it. Taking it back to the Morrisons. How much did they cost to rent?
Starting point is 00:04:54 I think it's about 30 quid, maybe. If you were going to rent that 10 times, you might as well buy one. It's massive. I don't have room for a rug doctor. I barely have room for a doctor, which I actually need. Can I be honest with you? I don't know what a rug doctor looks like. I've heard the name.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yeah. I don't really know what it is. They're in those, like, forbidden little cupboards you see in Morrisons. What? And you go on the website and you pay the money, pay the man the money, and it gives you a little code, and then you unlock the rug doctor thing. You unlock the rug doctor locker. But is it massive, then? Yeah, it's about that big.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Massive it is. And what's the difference between that and just a hoover? It's just a really high-powered, strong, muscular hoover. Wet hoover, effectively. A wet hoover? Yeah, so it sprays the water
Starting point is 00:05:38 into the fibres. I've got a little spot cleaner, but these guys are absolutely chunky boys and you can just do the whole room really, really quickly. And to be fair, that's taken out the stinking piss on the floor. So how long do you let the piss stay there before you get the rug doctor in?
Starting point is 00:05:54 What's the threshold? It's been there for months. Yeah, because I attack it with a little spot cleaner. You do have a little chart on your wall where you tick it off and it does tell you them and you get a rug doctor in. How much piss, yeah. He's probably on commission with a rug doctor
Starting point is 00:06:05 he is he's probably in the pocket they're probably feeding him with bones he's in the pocket of a big rug doctor nuts so that's what I've got
Starting point is 00:06:12 to look forward to with my cats is it did I tell you they're still my cat escaping yeah out the front insane insane behaviour
Starting point is 00:06:18 I cut myself to pieces on the fucking thorn crazy cat absolutely ridiculous what a crazy cat so while we talk about oh yeah we talk about lifting things we're talking about lifting things
Starting point is 00:06:25 people are all I'm saying is people ask you to lift things a lot okay and it's not as easy as it looks for someone like me
Starting point is 00:06:32 who's big but not strong that's the only point I was making yeah well it's National Gardening Exercise Day so maybe you can lift up some rockery
Starting point is 00:06:39 or lift up some soil for people yeah Mimi will say that sometimes she'll be like I've been indoors all day I want to go and get
Starting point is 00:06:44 some exercise in the garden and she'll just garden and it'll be like, I've been indoors all day, I want to go and get some exercise in the garden. And she'll just garden and it'll be good exercise for her. It's not really something I do for exercise though. I'm on the elliptical. You're on the elliptical?
Starting point is 00:06:51 You can't garden on the elliptical. She's in the middle of gardening and I'm just elliptical in front of a massive flower bed, just tearing it
Starting point is 00:06:57 all to pieces. Speaking of gardening though, do you see that kind of garden-based prank outside of Gatwick Airport? Oh, I like that. Yeah, it was goodbased prank outside of Gatwick Airport? Oh, I like that.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah, it was good. People landing in Gatwick Airport could look out the window of their EasyJet flight and see, welcome to Luton. And that was Max Foch who did that. He was Jack's friend. Max Foch, right. He's done Jack's show a few times. He's very busy.
Starting point is 00:07:19 He never stops. He never stops pranking that boy. He's just always pranking that lad. Didn't he run for Mayor of London as well? I think so. He's always pranking that lad just always pranking that lad didn't he run for mayor of London as well I think so he's always pranking that lad always pranking about because I told
Starting point is 00:07:29 you when I went to Puerto Rico yeah he was there plane yeah Max Foster flying it no the little plane the pilot when we landed he went
Starting point is 00:07:36 welcome to St. Thomas as his joke right okay told you that story and I was like I didn't mind that because he did a good job and he did a good job
Starting point is 00:07:42 he earned the right to joke at the end what's a good job compared to a bad job when it comes to flight got you there on that note I was like, I didn't mind that because he did a good job. He did a good job. He earned the right to joke at the end. What's a good job compared to a bad job? When it comes to flat guys. He got you there. On that note, I was speaking to, so I went to a, I went to a, Mimi's friend's son's first birthday.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Okay. And her husband's in the US Air Force. Yes. But they're based, at the time they were based in the UK. And so all the people at the birthday party with their kids were pilots, basically. Okay. And I was showing them, you know, can you birthday party with their kids were pilots basically and I was showing
Starting point is 00:08:05 them can you imagine this oh my god I was showing them what do you think about that what do you think
Starting point is 00:08:10 about that what do you think about that flyboy some of them weren't interested I'll ride your tail any day etc
Starting point is 00:08:15 I was like how much of our Top Gun is actually true I was showing this video I'll be yowing man and one of them
Starting point is 00:08:21 said and I think there's a reasonable chance they were so bored of me they were just saying anything to get rid of me they were just saying anything to get rid of me but they were saying
Starting point is 00:08:27 you never need to be worried on the plane like that because it's so light if the engine cuts it will just glide and land quite softly you'll be fine
Starting point is 00:08:33 hmm I reckon you've got more chance I guess than if you're landing a Boeing laden with fuel but I mean
Starting point is 00:08:41 I don't know little tiny little plane little tiny little baba well they land on that passengerba. Well, they land on, that passenger landed one recently. Yes. They land on big motorways sometimes. That was a brilliant effort,
Starting point is 00:08:51 that guy. Imagine doing that. If you had shown someone the video of that passenger landing that plane, and no context, just watched the video, you wouldn't have thought
Starting point is 00:08:59 there was anything different. No, it was a bit loosey-goosey, but I think... Oh, that happens though. That happens. The commercial airline pilot who witnessed it, the guy at the control tower said, he just watched a man who'd never flown before land that plane,
Starting point is 00:09:16 and he goes, oh, wow, good job. And I got a bit tearful by that. I don't know what it is. But as soon as that happened, as soon as I read that story, I was like, it's going to be a reveal that he's flown millions of times. You reckon?
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah. But it hasn't happened, so it's fine. I texted my mate about that and he said to me, it's easy flying a plane. Push it forward, cows get bigger.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Pull back, cows get smaller. That was like his final lesson. But there's another story, Pete, that we were going to talk about, actually, on that note about that YouTuber guy who police have suspected
Starting point is 00:09:47 he crashed a plane on purpose. Yeah. For YouTube views. For YouTube views. That's a risky gambit, isn't it? Yeah. He just crashed his plane. He crashed his plane.
Starting point is 00:09:59 So apparently he's a former Olympic snowboarder and he posted a 13-minute video of himself escaping a crashing plane in December 2021, right? But then there was a three-month-long investigation into the crash, because there has to be, because of a plane crash, there has to be. And the FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, said some of the quotes in their report are ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:10:21 One of them says, during this flight, you opened the left-side part door before you claimed the engine had failed. Yeah. All this, basically, he's accused of being in a situation
Starting point is 00:10:31 where he engineered an engine failure and all of the evidence seemed to sort of hinge on the fact that A, he did a recce the day before.
Starting point is 00:10:41 When he bought the plane off the man, he said, I'm going to do something big with it. And then he also put a lot of cameras like a weird amount of cameras uh on on a plane that he'd never done before uh he behaved strangely in the cockpit uh and all this stuff yes they said they said he didn't um he didn't do any of the things that a pilot would do so you're trying to start the
Starting point is 00:11:02 plane's engine yeah didn't scope out places to safely land before exiting the plane, and jumped out of it while, and this is a quote, holding a camera attached to a selfie stick and continuing to record the aircraft during your descent. Yeah, yeah. Very strange.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah, he's obviously going to get his license revoked, I suppose. But imagine, but what if that had gone really fucking wrong and it landed in a farmer's house? Crushing a farmer. And it does speak to, we were talking about this on Thursday,
Starting point is 00:11:26 weren't we, about when you were talking about that kind of death cult. It does kind of speak to the idea that humans, I know this is an extreme example, but it's like, mate,
Starting point is 00:11:34 you've got, fair enough, you've got 1.75 million views for it. That's a lot of views. Well done, mate. Well done. What do you get for that? Six grand.
Starting point is 00:11:40 But I think if you're being totally honest with yourself, when you go to sleep that night, in your bed, you feel a little bit dead inside. I think if you're being totally honest with yourself, when you go to sleep that night in your bed, you feel a little bit dead inside. I think you feel a little bit dead inside. And as soon as that story comes out, the algorithm's burying that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Imagine if they changed the algorithm the night after. You're not going to see a fucking coin from that, mate. Yeah. He said, I can't talk about it because of my attorney, but the truth of the situation will come out in time. Right, okay. Which I think tells its own story it's a fucking mad thing to do
Starting point is 00:12:07 in a way in a way I'm not defending it no one got hurt so fair enough in a way it is also quite ballsy
Starting point is 00:12:16 yeah but he's a snowboard he's a thrill seeker he's a man who cares nothing for the rules and regulations of the way we conduct
Starting point is 00:12:24 our lives what do you think if he came in here for an hour he'd be like oh it's just so boring who cares nothing for the rules and regulations of the way we conduct our lives. What do you think? If he came in here for an hour, he'd be like, oh, it's just so boring. Life is so boring. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Breathing is so boring and he'd just stop breathing and dies. It's so boring. I'm opting out. It's not how many breaths you have, but it's how many moments take your breath away.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Who said that? That's what I said. That's like a trope, isn't it? That's like one of those meme motivational quotes, isn't it? It's like one of those meme motivational quotes, isn't it? It's like one of those motivational quotes. It'll be alongside
Starting point is 00:12:48 like a silhouetted man hanging off a rock. Stick it on a bit of driftwoods. Hanging up in your kitchen. I'm not slagging off the rock climbers because I've watched a few documentaries
Starting point is 00:12:57 and I'm quite into it. I think partly because my power to weight ratio is so poor that it seems completely exotic to me. So I'm not slagging them off. I'm just saying that kind of whole idea is quite tedious isn't it that kind of wow man seek out the thrills man don't you think i i was watching um uh jackass 4.5 the oscar winning
Starting point is 00:13:18 jackass the oscar winning jackass uh but they've done like a netflix uh kind of remember like jackass 2.5 had extra scenes and like a bit of a behind the scenes I need to go back and watch all of them I haven't seen them in years
Starting point is 00:13:29 and I was watching one of the blocks dad's been chucked out of a plane and I was like oh god it does look good
Starting point is 00:13:38 parachuting doesn't it but it can go so wrong I'd like so very wrong yeah so I'd like to be at the point where the parachute is fine and I'm slowly coming to land.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yeah, just jump in there, yeah. Yeah, because that looks amazing. Yeah. The view and all the rest of it. And you land and you're just straight in the hospital and you pick up a frying pan and a gun. Yeah, exactly. And you're off and going.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I've got a 33% win rate on PUBG at the moment. Yeah. It's incredible, really. This is D-Day. Not on D-Day, mate. Unbelievable. Oh, is it? Yeah, that's disrespectful. Luckily, it's also National App is D-Day not on D-Day mate unbelievable oh is it yeah luckily it's also
Starting point is 00:14:07 National Applesauce Cake Day which I've seen an applesauce cake it looks fucking disgusting it looks like one of those kind of tray bakes like a kind of like a spongy kind of cake
Starting point is 00:14:18 presumably underneath is the acrid rotten applesauce that you'd see on on your pork chop. No, I'll eat the shit out of that.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Would you? Oh, yeah. Disgusting. I'm actually going to go and have some in the break now. Okay. When we come back, we'll do some emails. All right. Luke, where's your insulin?
Starting point is 00:14:36 You've had too much or too little. I don't really know how it works. This is Luke and Pete Shaw. I'm Pete Donaldson. And since it's Monday, we're not doing battery brands, but we are doing emails. Yeah, before I get this email from Neil, which I really want to read out
Starting point is 00:14:45 that's alright don't worry if it's not you Kate's personal space invasion is unbelievable she kicks me all the time in the round like a spider
Starting point is 00:14:53 what was I going to say oh yeah so when I had to do my NHS health check because I'm over 40 I'm going to get to your email Neil but before I do
Starting point is 00:15:03 I just wanted to say this I was really scared about the blood sugar level thing. Because I eat a lot of biscuits and cakes and stuff. But it actually came out normal. It came out absolutely fine. Because you work out. You're a busy man. Which made me think, how high is the threshold?
Starting point is 00:15:18 Because I admittedly forgot I had this test the night before I ate a whole packet of biscuits. I've still not failed it. I ate a whole bag of biscuits. Right, okay. I've still not failed it. I ate a whole bag of toffees yesterday. Now that's proper old nan behaviour. What about your teeth? What do you mean, what about my teeth?
Starting point is 00:15:31 What, as in a hard toffee? Yeah. Mate, I couldn't do that. I've got no fillings. I don't care. I've got a devil-may-care attitude to my teeth. Do you need fillings? Because that's a different story.
Starting point is 00:15:42 They're rotten. Genetically, you must have great teeth then. Flew right in the water, innit? It's a low-income area. They just absolutely cover it, innit? Right, do you reckon that's a different story. They're rotten. Genetically, you must have great teeth then. Fluoride in the water in it. It's a low-income area. They just absolutely cover it in it. Right. Do you reckon that's why? Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Yeah, in shitty areas, they put more fluoride in the waters. Yeah, me and my sister don't really... I think my sister's got a couple of... Yeah, I've got... I've got okay teeth, actually. Actually, thanks. I think we found something medically
Starting point is 00:16:01 you're actually strong at. It's amazing. Yeah, creating calcification. If someone said to you, you can have normal teeth, but none of all your other ailments, would you take it? Yeah, I definitely would. There you go then. You still lost out.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Neil, Neil's been in touch. Hello at LukeandPeach.com is the destination he sent his missive to, and now we're reading it out. That's how it works. You can do the same. Well done. Send an email then to hello at LukeandPeach.com. Neil says the following.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Hi, guys. Following on from last Monday's nickname chat, Well done. Send an email then to helloatleaguecompeteshow.com. Neil says the following. Hi, guys. Following on from last Monday's nickname chat, I've just remembered a story about a guy who I worked with for a couple of months during the pandemic. I work in a foundry that makes a few bits and bobs for ventilators. Oh, yes, please. So we became key workers and we were very busy. We got a new driver in from an agency who introduced himself to us as Maverick.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Maverick. About two weeks later, his best mate from childhood came in and started working there too. And had no idea who Maverick was until he met him and said, I've known this cunt 18 years and no one's ever called him Maverick. We then decided the mate who should be called Maverick, which pissed off the original Maverick who became Goose while he was with us. So they've changed it up
Starting point is 00:17:07 and now they've got Maverick and Goose working at the foundry with them. I quite like stories like that. I quite like the idea. I'll take any story
Starting point is 00:17:14 that's in a foundry. Yeah. I'll take, if I want to know more stories about what happens in the foundry. If you're listening
Starting point is 00:17:21 to this right now in a foundry, that is your bat signal to send an email. There was a man on Facebook Marketplace and he was selling like 200, you know the spikes on top of like fences?
Starting point is 00:17:36 You know like big raw iron fences? Yeah. He just had like 100 of these fuckers and he's like, they can be welded. I was like, yeah, anything can be welded but I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:43 why have you got 200 of them? Did you ask him? He'd lop them off. How much anything can be welded. But I mean, why have you got 200 of them? Did you ask him? He'd be lopping them off. How much are you selling them for? I mean, it was a good price. You'd get them in your filing cabinet, wouldn't you? You've really got... I can think of no reason to own them
Starting point is 00:17:54 apart from put them in a big sack and hit someone with them. I've got no use for them. They'd be really heavy, wouldn't they? They would, yeah. I guess someone would mind welding them onto their garden fence, maybe to keep out intruders.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Maybe, I don't know. I can't figure it out. Do you know what used to be? I don't know if this is because it's illegal now. Yeah. This is just reminding me. I genuinely have no idea why this doesn't happen much anymore. It was a big thing where I grew up,
Starting point is 00:18:14 for people to put broken glass and cement on the top of their walls. Yeah, I'm fairly certain that wasn't even allowed in the 80s, but my dad certainly did it. Did he really? Yeah, cement on top of the bricks and, yeah, didn't prevent the seagull wagon from coming through the back of it, let's make that very clear. But, yeah, because people used to jump.
Starting point is 00:18:33 They used to sort of scale a wall, jump in and grab my dad's bike. It just seems like a very, it's just, I mean, for the sake of a shitty racing bike, it's a lot of variables, a lot of chances to break your ankles and stuff innit yeah so yeah it is and so we didn't have that
Starting point is 00:18:48 we had a back fence which was quite high right and having said that I used to climb over it all the time and then we had this this big fence panel
Starting point is 00:18:55 which my dad had fashioned into a big gate for the hard standing for the car to go on right so you'd pull this post out open the big fence reverse the car in
Starting point is 00:19:04 and then close the fence and put the fence post back. Right. But there was no, like, no kind of broken glass or spikes or anything. We used to get clothes stolen off our washing line quite a bit. I remember once, I might have told you this before, but I remember once in PE, we were getting changed, and this one kid had this jumper on or something that this other kid said had been stolen from his washing line.
Starting point is 00:19:26 He said, I know it's mine because I can tell because of this and this. Interesting. And they had a big fight about it. One of them ended up in the urinal. That's probably why I remember it. In the jumper or not in the jumper? No, they're both half-Makers. We're getting changed for PE.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Okay. Yeah. I was going to say, if you've got a pissy jumper, nobody wants that jumper. But that was a thing, wasn't it? Cement and broken glass. Yeah, it was, yeah. How was that allowed? It was just demented. Where would you even... I mean, they were all glass bottles, wasn't it? Cement and broken glass. Yeah, it was, yeah. How was that allowed?
Starting point is 00:19:45 It's just demented. I mean, they were all glass bottles, weren't they? Kind of like thick. Just thick. But do you remember your dad smashing the glass to make it? No, I don't. I don't know where they got the glass from. He did it at night.
Starting point is 00:19:54 He did it at night. I have a really sort of atmospheric kind of image of my dad one time. There was an issue with the... It was absolutely coming down. It was absolutely chucking it down. And I looked out the window and lightning was sort of flashing. It was lightning flashing in the distance.
Starting point is 00:20:14 And my dad... How old were you? I was, it was sort of, I probably was about seven, I reckon. Okay. And my dad had a massive drain, you know those big drain sticks that go on for
Starting point is 00:20:25 they sort of connect together like pool cubes drain sweeper yeah and my dad was attacking this fucking sewer in the opening in the backyard
Starting point is 00:20:34 he was like and it was just every time the lightning flashed my dad in a long coat was just absolutely attacking this sewer
Starting point is 00:20:42 that's chilling it is chilling it looked but it looked like he was on the deck of a boar in Deadliest Catch or something. It was pretty dramatic. It was really a dramatic image. Did you block the sewer with a big turd or something? I don't know what had happened,
Starting point is 00:20:57 but it just wasn't working. I can remember being in my bedroom, which overlooked the back garden, of which I've just spoken about. And there was a guy live next door. Weirdly, he used to get in quite a few rows with my old man. Because he would be really noisy. He was a young single guy.
Starting point is 00:21:15 He had lodgers. They used to have parties. Lodgers. They're all terraced houses. My dad wanted them to be quiet, because obviously we were in bed. And that guy later got done for attempted murder. I think I told you.
Starting point is 00:21:24 He chased someone down the street and stabbed him. Okay. That'll do it. Yeah. But my dad would be getting aroused with him all the time. Anyway, he had his own glazing business. So he would go and put UPVC windows in the people's houses and stuff. That was his thing.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And he had these couple of assistants who used to be around his back garden, which doubled up as this place where they used to keep all the windows. Because I remember it vividly because if a football went over there i'd jump on the fence to get it back and there'd be windows everywhere right and they had these little um i can't really describe what they were like like dishwasher tablets right right in my mind they're called like salt blocks right but i think they were for cleaning the windows okay so maybe you dissolve one in a bucket yeah maybe i don't really know that's kind of efficient i suppose but what i do know is there are amazing missiles to throw at people.
Starting point is 00:22:07 They were like stones, basically. But we had an endless supply of them, so we used to get them all the time. Anyway, so we had been throwing them around all day in the back alleyway where we used to play. Yeah. And at each other and all the rest of it. You were so clean.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah. So clean afterwards. And we obviously didn't dissolve them, so they were really fucking hard. And then that night I was in bed and the fucking door went and it was the police right and the police were saying oh yeah there's um it's been a lot of complaints about these salt blocks being thrown hitting people's windows and stuff yeah so i just want to check if um if you've had any complaints or anything and i can remember my mom answering the door it must have been late at night because i was in bed and my mum said
Starting point is 00:22:46 no I don't know anything about this which she didn't I had about 40 of them in my bedroom but so did every other kid in the fucking street
Starting point is 00:22:52 so luckily the police didn't come up and search or anything like that but I think the next door neighbour got busted for that because they were his and he had let them basically be stolen
Starting point is 00:23:01 essentially what? so you were supplying everyone with a supply of... I don't know if you can get done for that, but I mean, I think... Supplying salt blocks. I think the buck stopped with him.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Why have you got so many salt blocks? Well, I've clearly got a job that means I need them. Yeah. It's not my fault they're getting stolen. Yeah, I mean, later on, he did get busted for attempted murder. I think he's still in jail. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:20 So, I mean, you know. Well, look. Well, he got us come up and saying, didn't he? Yeah, but I'm not sure you guys... Maybe that set him on the wrong trail. But I mean, you know. Well, he got us come up and saying, didn't he? Maybe that set him on the wrong trail. But I also remember there was a big fashion
Starting point is 00:23:30 for using this really tar-like paint. Yeah, that was, yeah, burglar's grease. Yeah. You used to climb on it
Starting point is 00:23:36 and it used to be all over your hands. I realise that's what it's there for. I used to get that all the time because you used to go and get your
Starting point is 00:23:41 people back or whatever. But you realise that sometimes you need to be up where the burglar grease is so you're like well you know like
Starting point is 00:23:49 you've done yourself off there a little bit haven't you we've had to go and get a football from on top of like there's no going back no
Starting point is 00:23:56 yeah how do you get rid of it then I don't know probably some strong acid I don't know it's quite oily isn't it salt blocks
Starting point is 00:24:02 salt blocks anyway Peter shall we wrap up? Let's wrap up. It's really easy to wrap up the show. Just say stop. Just say stop. We've fucked up.
