Starting point is 00:00:00 it's the luke and pete show it's a monday i'm pete donaldson and i'm back on reddit reading stuff out from it what a great show nowadays isn't it great Great trailer. It is for you. I never go on Reddit. Apparently, schools in Florida are required to out students to their parents, which is what they will do in a few weeks' time.
Starting point is 00:00:34 An astonishing Florida really is a petri dish of strangers, isn't it, really? They've got a mad governor. They've got a mad governor. A truly mad governor. Who I think might be
Starting point is 00:00:45 one of the worst human beings in the world. Yeah. What's his name again? Ron DeSantis. That's it. Yeah. He's a scumbag.
Starting point is 00:00:50 But I just find it fascinating that you are allowed to, you're not allowed to discuss same-sex issues in school, in Florida, and it just seems, I just wonder how
Starting point is 00:01:03 they're going to get around that in the modern world. It's kind of like fighting against the tide, really, isn't it? It is. I mean, imagine sort of explaining the plot to Rocketman. Or, I don't know, explaining anything, I suppose. You know, I always chuckle because my mum loves Elton John, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:01:23 And she always has done. Yeah. And obviously Elton John is famous, one of the world's most famous gay men. Yeah. And if you look back at his performances and stuff in the 70s and the way he used to present himself and all that kind of stuff, it's quite obvious that he was a gay man.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah. But my mum said in the 70s no one ever really considered it because obviously he was married and stuff. It wasn't really talked about. So the raising of consciousness in what is relatively speaking quite a short amount of time is quite unbelievable really is it would it be fair to say that uh in back in the day uh entertainers were a bit more song and dance we're a bit more kind of like expressive they're a bit more because i think um Who's that guy who was at WrestleMania 1, WrestleMania 2,
Starting point is 00:02:07 he played the piano and was the world's most gay... He was a gay icon. Liberace. Liberace, yeah. Yeah. So like... WrestleMania?
Starting point is 00:02:16 Yeah, he was at WrestleMania. Did he? Very weird. Yeah, very strange. I think I might remember that from WrestleMania, actually. And can you imagine how poorly he was represented in that? But he was... It might uh but he uh but he was it might be in wrestlemania three or four actually but either way um it like i think with that i
Starting point is 00:02:31 think even people like he uh would probably not would probably they'd probably sort of go well he's an entertainer so he's allowed to wear a feather boy now and again he's allowed to sort of put a bit of makeup on he's allowed to sort of express himself in that way because he's an entertainer so i think that sort of thing you bit of makeup on. He's allowed to sort of express himself in that way because he's an entertainer. So I think that sort of thing, you kind of got away with it a bit more without anyone actually thinking about... But was it also the fact that conversations of that nature
Starting point is 00:02:53 just weren't as prevalent? Yeah, and it was illegal in most places in the world, wasn't it? Yeah, well, for a time, of course. Yeah, exactly, yeah. But it just seems... The reason I'm making the point is because, I'll use that phrase again, people's consciousness has been raised to such an extent that it just seems absolutely ridiculous that A, no one would know, and B, that anyone would care. But then you hear those stories that you just said there, and you're like, well, fucking hell, there's still so much work to do, right?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Why are you taking so much interest in what other people are doing? Why are you rolling back? Just let people do what they want to do. Why are you rolling back? Why are you obsessed with this? There's usually only one reason why are you obsessed with this there's usually only one reason why people are
Starting point is 00:03:26 obsessed with this and I think do you think that you it's like mean bug in
Starting point is 00:03:31 I want to go we should arrange for you to go so it's a double threat for me
Starting point is 00:03:36 we should arrange for you to go and you're wearing a lovely t-shirt today Pete it's a
Starting point is 00:03:41 the queen is dead themed smith's t-shirt but instead of the smith it says dusty rose's a um the queen is dead themed smith's t-shirt but instead of the smith it says dusty rose and it says the uh what does it say the dream is dead the dream is dead yeah what's the relevance of that son of a plumber dusty roads he uh what's the dream is dead what does that mean uh well he's the american dream wasn't he he was the american dream and then his son was the uh american nightmare cody roads he has just left aew the uh probably the most popular
Starting point is 00:04:03 or certainly most critically acclaimed wrestling company in town. The road more travelled is from WWE, which is regarded as being a massive product, as it always has been, but one that's kind of stagnated product-wise, quality-wise. Is it really? People don't like it anymore? People don't necessarily like it, but the cool money, where all the good guys, where all the great workers are at AEW now it was started
Starting point is 00:04:27 by Tony Khan the Fulham he's a Fulham owner isn't he Tony Khan yes Tony Khan who's very heavily involved in all of that
Starting point is 00:04:35 and Cody Rhodes is one of the first to come over and do his thing and help build this basically but he's left AEW
Starting point is 00:04:43 him and his wife Brandi Rhodes and it looks like he might end up in WWE so he's going back the other way
Starting point is 00:04:50 so he's going back the other way and it's weird because he it just sounds very much like he really wants to win a WWE
Starting point is 00:04:57 title belt which is pathetic right he's built something amazing my help built something amazing and he's going the other way down the Pompey Highway
Starting point is 00:05:06 towards WWE so I I really respect the idea because I always assumed that WWE had like a complete monopoly on all that kind of big ticket stuff
Starting point is 00:05:16 there's been a few I don't know what day wrestling's on on the telly but there's been a couple of instances lately where AEW have actually beaten WWE on the old telly which is what channel a couple of instances lately where AEW have actually beaten WWE
Starting point is 00:05:25 on the old telly which is not What channel? What deal do they have with the TV broadcast? Oh I don't know I don't know what
Starting point is 00:05:30 TV channel it's on but they've certainly pulled more eyes towards their product compared to WWE which is treated
Starting point is 00:05:38 as being a bit of a stagnant Are you covering it on WrestleMe? We have been covering it on WrestleMe obviously the Wrestlemania we have been covering it on Wrestlemania obviously Wrestlemania we're going to be
Starting point is 00:05:46 heading out for that and so listen to Wrestlemania for that on the page it's very good it's in Dallas, Texas but it's over two nights and it's something like four or five hours a piece and it looks very much like Stone Cold Steve Austin may come back
Starting point is 00:06:02 Cody Rhodes may make an appearance as well over there. So it looked pretty poor, line-up-wise. Now there's rumours saying that The Rock's going to be back. It may turn into something rather good. But the thing about WrestleMania weekend, something that I didn't necessarily realise, Mark said we should do WrestleMania this year.
Starting point is 00:06:23 I said, that's a good idea. We're going to do it the year before last, I think, or maybe last year to launch the Patreon. So to sort of make it clear that we are reinvesting the Patreon supporters' cash. Well, you're buying a pub, aren't you? I'm buying a pub. I'll put a picture of Dusty Rhodes up there.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yeah, exactly. So we're going out there. And I didn't realise that on WrestleMania weekend every indie company going basically has a match. Basically has a card. Not in the same place. Not in the same place
Starting point is 00:06:54 but it'll be in like hotel function rooms and you can literally as Mark said watch wrestling from nine in the morning to three in the morning. What so basically
Starting point is 00:07:02 they all descend like it's a festival. They all descend like it's a festival. That's descend like it's a big festival. It's clever. It's clever. Yeah. Like fringe events basically.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And so there's like appearances, but you can get your shit signed by Virgil or whatever. Like all this stuff over one weekend effectively. That sounds brilliant. When is it? That sounds fucking exhausting. Yeah. You'll love it though. Start of April.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Mark will love it. I love parts of it. But sometimes you can just have too much wrestling, I think. Yeah, don't say that. You're doing WrestleMe. I know, I'm doing WrestleMe. That's what I'm there for. I'm the one who doesn't know much about wrestling. You're not supposed to be the head, are you? The wrestling community who listen to the show,
Starting point is 00:07:35 and it's got a very dedicated listener base, as we know, they accept you as an outlier because they know the terms upon which you're involved. But I'm just going to be tired because Mark's booked loads of tickets to weird wrestling. Have you become more of an expert now? Yeah, I think, and Mark makes a point on the show,
Starting point is 00:07:53 that I think I've watched more wrestling than most people. You know what I mean? Like 90% of people, it's like in America, 90% of people don't earn over 50 grand. You know what I mean? It's kind of like, it's, it's,
Starting point is 00:08:05 it's, you're an outlier if you've watched that amount of wrestling. And I think I have watched that. I often, I often think
Starting point is 00:08:10 that I don't watch as much football as lots of people do. Yeah. Because I think people assume because we did around. Football's,
Starting point is 00:08:17 football's very visible though, isn't it? You can, because you, because I watch the matches that I need to watch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:23 And I watch the highlights that I need to watch and I read the things that I need to read. Yeah. And I watch the highlights that I need to watch. And I read the things that I need to read and stuff like that. But it's very difficult to watch the amount of football. But some people just have football on all of the time. Yeah, but I think it's helpful, particularly for the type of show we're making on The Ramble, to not be so all consumed by it.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Yeah. Because you need to maintain some kind of perspective. You need to be able to relate it back to the normal people. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because most people can't watch that amount of people. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because most people can't watch that amount of football.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Yeah, and also, you can't, and you shouldn't, as a broadcaster, expect an esoteric level of assumed knowledge. Yeah. Because otherwise,
Starting point is 00:08:52 people aren't going to get it. It's not as accessible, is it? Yeah. I'm just wondering, like, it's a live football now. There'll be like, there's all kinds
Starting point is 00:09:00 of things happening. Yeah. Pete, can we, one thing we've forgotten to do so far that I really want to do is a real change of pace. Okay. I'm hoping you've got your laptop plugged in so you can do it. Right. Can, can we, one thing we've forgotten to do so far that I really want to do is a real change of pace.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I'm hoping you've got your laptop plugged in so you can do it. Can we do that Voldemort thing? We can do, yeah, you can do.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Plug your laptop in so people can hear it. Basically, it's a little bit older, it's been around for a month or so. It's very enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Yeah, it's amazing. Someone's put together the kind a kind of greatest hits clip of voldemort in a particular scene in the harry potter movies laughing well not yet laughing in all the different in auto played luke i was trying to stop it people expect more from you tech side though i can't i can't auto play something that i've just visited the site there's no function to stop it. You've got a new Samsung.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Of course. There's no plug-in for your browser. Don't blame the Samsung. Anyway, so it's Voldemort, but obviously he's been edited in the dubbed version of the movies to be laughing, and you think, okay, well, laughs are always the same, but it's not. They've changed the laugh to represent different languages,
Starting point is 00:10:03 and there's a load of them. So Pete, just play it now because let's read the country out as I do it. Okay. So first up Japanese
Starting point is 00:10:12 German French It's really French. It's really French. Yeah. That was Vietnamese. It's really French. Yeah. That was Vietnamese. What's that one? Uzbek.
Starting point is 00:10:31 That's like a word rather than a laugh. Handa. Handa. Yeah. That's English. Turkish. Probably exactly the same. Very similar, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Sounds like he's crying. Italian. I like the Polish one. I think Polish is my favourite. Who'd have thought they'd be so different? Yeah, it's mad, isn't it? So I guess what's happened there is that the dubbed version of the movie, the voice actor doing the dubbed voice
Starting point is 00:11:07 yeah some of them have listened to the original some of them haven't let's make that clear but do you not reckon that they're just doing it naturally
Starting point is 00:11:12 just getting inside the character and laughing how they would laugh no because a lot of them are very similar aren't they and it all kind of like
Starting point is 00:11:17 takes their cue from Liam Neeson is it Liam Neeson no it's Ralph Ralph Fiennes I was going to assume he had what do you reckon
Starting point is 00:11:24 that is men of advancing years that's it that's it is it Ralph Fiennes Ralph Fiennes I was going to ask Timmy something what do you reckon that is Men of Advancing Years that's it that's it is it I know they're just quite similar aren't they they're just blokes
Starting point is 00:11:33 that blend into one they're all quite serious in films aren't they they never have a laugh I think Ralph will be a little bit put out by that what does Ralph do
Starting point is 00:11:41 that makes you laugh Liam Neeson's a lot more gruff and a lot more Irish he's more gruff now but but before, I don't know. I don't know. I just sort of tie them together. They would make a great double act where it was just like,
Starting point is 00:11:52 imagine Lethal Weapon, but with those two. That would be great. That would be really good. That would be great. I'd be well up for that. When I was in Malacca, did I go to Malacca? I can't remember. Someone's been.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And my partner was in a TV show called White Gold. Oh, yeah. About, I don't know, something in Essex. Anyway, and we didn't realise that there's obviously a Spanish-dubbed version of it. So it was really weird hearing her voice, but dubbed into Spanish.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yeah. And let me tell you, they put about 20 years on our voice. Oh, really? You sound like a right old mama. I would never watch a dubbed version of a TV show. I'd always watch the subtitles. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Would you not as well? Are you an anime purist? Isn't there like a big kind of, with foreign films? Well, there was a big issue around Squid Game, wasn't there? Okay, yeah. Because Squid Game was saying,
Starting point is 00:12:44 like, you watch the subtitles, there's not a lot of direct translation for a lot of stuff they were talking about. So a lot of the nuance... So everyone loves Squid Game. Yeah. But actually a lot of Korean experts, or Korean people, I suppose, were just saying, oh yeah, but a lot of this stuff, a lot of these implied kind of things about subtleties in Korean culture,
Starting point is 00:13:04 like class or whatever it may be, is lost because it's hard to, you can't just get that across in like a translation. So, I mean, it would happen the other way as well, I suppose. In the UK, obviously we've got a very prevalent class system, but it may not be as prevalent to another country if they don't know the country that well. And so the point being that they were arguing
Starting point is 00:13:24 that if you watched Squid Game while it was subtitled, you wouldn't have got the full picture. But I just don't really feel that I can, I can't be convinced that because acting is such, the voice is such an important part of acting and the expression that is put across when you're acting with your voice is so key to the performance that like,
Starting point is 00:13:42 I just don't want to hear another person's voice. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It is quite discombobulating. Unless it's those old 70s kung fu movies where the voices would move at different times
Starting point is 00:13:51 compared to the face. Remember, is it Michael Ian Black? Was he in Police Academy? Who was the fellow who used to do... That was his thing, wasn't it? Who played Zed? Yeah. Was that his name, Zed?
Starting point is 00:14:02 He used to do the funny voices. Yeah, he was, yeah. His name's Bobcat Goldthwait. That's not him. Bobcat Goldthwait is the white guy. Oh, you mean Jones in Police Academy. Yes, okay. Sorry, yeah, I got one confused there.
Starting point is 00:14:14 That is, yeah, that is, isn't his name Jim Jones? I don't know. Michael Ian Black is a comedian, but it's very much not him. Oh, Larvel Jones, maybe. He's definitely called Jones. LaVell Jones sounds proper.
Starting point is 00:14:30 No, LaVell Jones in the show. I don't know what the actor's name is. Well, that was his thing in the police academy, wasn't he? He would do like the kung fu pause and do... Yeah, he'd do that amazing thing on that chat show where he did the whole lot of love by Led Zeppelin with all the guitar
Starting point is 00:14:47 sounds yeah amazing anyway let's have a break when we come back we're going to do some emails we haven't done
Starting point is 00:14:52 some emails for a wee while so let's get to some it should be lots of fun so don't go anywhere we'll be back the other side of this
Starting point is 00:14:59 super welcome to Eureka the show that gets under the skin of science in a good way i'm rick edwards and i'm dr michael brooks not the kind of doctor who'd be able to help much if you're having like a heart attack but if you're wondering about quantum physics or the theory of matter he's your man well probably every week we're asking a new puzzling question from the world of science and discovering the answer with the help of a world-leading expert. But will we ever talk to animals? They are definitely talking, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:31 that's again a word that I would qualify because we usually mean that vocally, but in their own ways they're talking to us every single day. Are face transplants the future of cosmetic surgery? Given that range of what's considered attractive, there's probably no point wanting to change your face to be more attractive if you follow science. And should we fear an alien invasion? If an imperialistic drive brings other civilizations to us, then obviously it's not good news. But if it's scientific exploration, it may be good news. If you're interested in learning a little bit more about the weird, magnificent world around us, then this is the show for you.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Eureka! Subscribe now and find us on Twitter at EurekaPod. New episodes every Wednesday. Eureka is a Stack production and part of the ACAST Creative Network. It's the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It's a Monday. And I'm joined by Luke Moore. Hello. I do hope you're having a good time. Hello. I'm having a lovely time. Are you having a nice time? I'm having a nice time.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Why don't you read an email out, Peter? Okay. Let me just find one. Hi, Pete. Hope you're well. Just following up on the below, is there any chance of some shares across Stacks channels? It really does help, we're so grateful.
Starting point is 00:16:50 What's that? That was an email someone sent me. Thanks. I was thinking more of the shortlisted ones. The shortlisted ones from the running order of this show specifically. The WeTransfer link is likely to expire soon. But you can access all the files in this drive here.
Starting point is 00:17:06 We've got a WeTransfer Pro, haven't we? We do, yes. So it doesn't expire? Some things do expire, and I don't know why. I thought WeTransfer, if you had Pro, you'd just have it forever. But sometimes it'll say you've got three weeks left on this, when I'm going, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Maybe it's just an extended service. Maybe it's just an extended service. Have they cornered the industry? I think they have. I think When We we transfer has fallen over every now and again, they are very robust Amazon servers, I believe. But when it has fallen over, the whole of the media landscape has fallen to pieces briefly. Why is it still not possible to transfer a huge amount,
Starting point is 00:17:41 not even huge amounts, like large files via email and Gmail and stuff like that um it's computationally expensive and electricity costs money storage costs a lot of money uh and you've you know you've got to pay you've got to pay for the service you got to pay the paper because i've got an interesting theory which is basically they don't want people to willy-nilly just send massive files around because it'll fuck up the whole internet i mean it's well it's expensive. Putting a barrier in, a kind of extra kind of barrier to market
Starting point is 00:18:09 is suitable for them. Because if you think about it, if everyone was sending gigabyte upon gigabyte upon gigabyte emails all the time every day, it would fuck it, right? I mean, it wouldn't fuck it because it's going in a particular direction. It's going to a server somewhere.
Starting point is 00:18:23 It's going to sit on a different server. But I've always seen WeTransfer, for example, as almost like a traffic light in a journey. So you have to break up the traffic. You have to do something when it comes to traffic to manage the level of traffic. No, because it doesn't matter when you send that file. I could be downloading it now.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I could be downloading it in two weeks' time. That traffic will still happen. It just doesn't matter. Am I the first WeTransfer conspiracy theorist you've met? I mean, what should happen is we should have decent upload speeds in this country. All we do is we send, like an iCloud link, you send a link to, you send like a proxy, and you sort of go, this is the file that I've got, and if you want it, you download it directly from me.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Not a server. The traffic goes straight from me to you, rather than me up to WeTransfer back down again. That's a waste for me. That should just go straight from me to you. How would we facilitate that? Well, I would just peer-to-peer networking, but our upload speeds aren't good enough.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Ah, okay. So we can't possibly have a system where you could access a file three weeks from now and then suddenly my internet starts going slow and I'm like, what's going on here then? What's bloody going on here then? Luke Moore's looking at that file of Pete's welly that he sent ages ago. But not in this studio,
Starting point is 00:19:37 because you're very impressed by the upload speed here. On Ethernet, yeah, on Ethernet. What is it? It's 300. It's 300 down, 300 up. That's big. That's big. Put it on Wi-Fi though, you're talking 80s. What's it? It's 300. It's 300 down, 300 up. That's big. That's big. Put it on Wi-Fi, though. You're talking 80s. What's that about?
Starting point is 00:19:48 Why do they do that? What? Why is that? They're pigs. Wankers. Hey, how wankers. Do you want to do an email, or am I going to do one? Yeah, do an email.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Oh, you want me to do one? All right, okay, yeah, cool. Okay, fine. So you're shirking responsibility. I'm not. I read out an email. You didn't like it. All right, Jack.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Hello, Jack. He says, Jack. Hello, Jack. He says, hello to Luke and Pete. We'll preface this with the statement that I have no batteries to report on, for which I apologize. My current law teacher used to be friends with the ex-girlfriend of Lightning Seas lead singer Ian Brodie. Oh, I like that. I like it.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Do you like Ian? Have I met him? Yeah, I interviewed him once. Nice guy? Yeah. Yeah, he's all right. And she recounted to him how she used to listen to music while putting the washing up.
Starting point is 00:20:33 By putting the washing out, I suppose. And so he devoted a lyric to her in the song Feeding Lazy. Music plays on radios and Lisa in the garden singing to the washing line. Hope you're having a great show, Jack. That's nice, isn't it? I've got a lot of time for that. Ian Brodie, do you reckon he's made a load of dough from Three Lions?
Starting point is 00:20:51 I reckon I'm almost guaranteeing that he made a load of dough. I mean, his band were super popular. He also produced the first Corrid album. Less good. That's a great record. It's all right. It's one of the best. I bet you can't name three songs off it.
Starting point is 00:21:01 that's a great record it's alright it's one of the best I bet you can't name three songs off it Dreaming of You that's one Dreaming of You Dreaming of You
Starting point is 00:21:12 brilliant song but it's the only one you can name it's one of the great British debuts that record what's the other songs what's the other singles
Starting point is 00:21:19 from that one it starts off with Spanish Main then it goes Remember When I Remember When then it's another song then it's Dreaming of You
Starting point is 00:21:27 it's got Goodbye is track number 6 Calendars and Clocks is about track number 9 or 10 I can name loads of them I can probably sing
Starting point is 00:21:36 all through them Simon Diamond's track number 5 I can name them all mate don't you worry about me I'm not even looking I can name them Daphne and Celeste, Save the World.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Brodie produced that? First album was Save the World. That was only a minute long. Paint Can, You and I Alone, Golden Doldrum, Song to a Succulent. How would you describe Ian Brodie to our international listeners? Not to be confused with Ian Brady, of course. A different person.
Starting point is 00:22:04 He looks a bit like a wombat, doesn't he? He looks a little bit like a little animal with little glasses that might live on the North Yorkshire moors. And I'm sad to say that actually he's fallen into that trap that a lot of these types fall into, where he's gone for the feathered Paul Weller haircut, which, as you know, I have a huge problem with. Can anyone imagine a worse kind of haircut choice?
Starting point is 00:22:29 No. Is there anything worse than an ageing man who's receding doing the Paul Weller feathered job? Well, it serves a lot of purposes. You just pull it forward, don't you? You pull the hair forward. So no one's ever going to know where your hair starts and ends, really, if you're pulling it forwards with a feathered look
Starting point is 00:22:45 do you remember when we found out there was like a kind of travelling mod haircut barber who used to go to different towns different times
Starting point is 00:22:52 everyone would know when he was in town to get their hair done like an atrocious warlord just going from town to town killing and pillaging do you reckon
Starting point is 00:22:59 that there's a if you wanted one so you were really serious about your feathered mod haircut but you really needed to get it done
Starting point is 00:23:07 and the mod the mod father guy wasn't in town do you reckon a normal barber could just do it nah it's pretty specialised isn't it
Starting point is 00:23:14 I think that Lemmy was doing a bit about this there was a picture of him of Paul Weller in a Portobello road
Starting point is 00:23:22 barber's getting his hair done who Weller was yeah ok and so like and that kind of hair is so kind of in a Portobello Road barber's getting his hair done. Who Weller was? Yeah. Okay. And so like, and that kind of hair is so kind of,
Starting point is 00:23:30 you've got to be so careful with it because it is a piece of shit and you can get it wrong quite easily. And Libby was making the point that like, God, they're going to know where he gets his hair cut.
Starting point is 00:23:39 So they're just going to be like hanging around hoping to meet Paul Weller because he's having a, because he just looked like a normal, you know, he was sat, I think he might have even been sat next to, Paul Weller because he's having a because he just looked like a normal you know he was sat I think he might have even been sat next to you know those
Starting point is 00:23:48 barber's chairs in the shape of a a car for the little kids oh please tell me he was in there honestly it was in the front of like a normal
Starting point is 00:23:56 kind of like in the front window getting his haircut Paul Weller like it just seemed very weird that he would allow the barber to take
Starting point is 00:24:03 a picture of him well that's true but the barber himself was like picture of him. Well, that's true. But the barber himself was like an old mate and he used to do mod haircuts back in the day. He still do them, but it doesn't pay enough bills
Starting point is 00:24:10 so he has to do the normal haircuts as well. I think if you can do a mod one, you can probably do a normal one. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. So,
Starting point is 00:24:18 I can't remember what we were talking about. Oh yeah, Ian Brodie. Yeah, thanks for sending that email in. I think apparently it was referencing to songs that reference names because we were talking about Come On Eileen a while back, weren't we? Right, that email in. I think apparently it was referencing to songs that reference names because we're
Starting point is 00:24:26 talking about Come on Eileen a while back, weren't we? Right, that makes sense. That does make sense. And yeah, so that's that.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I've got one more email here. I want to do it. It's about shortcut mishaps. Yes, okay. It's from Alexander. He says, dear Luke
Starting point is 00:24:38 and Pete, I'm emailing with an addition to the unfortunate shortcut stories you've had so far on the show. On my last day on the holiday with a
Starting point is 00:24:44 friend in Berlin, the same trip as where the Airbnb host had a shag in the bathroom as previously read out on the show i don't remember that um but anyway we decided to go and see a concentration camp museum and memorial just outside the city as we get there we see no way through to the entrance that google maps has promised which we later realized actually was poor map reading on our part so we decided to go around another path to get there rather than going to the further alternate entrance on the other side of the camp. We got the feeling the shortcut path
Starting point is 00:25:11 might not have been the best idea when we started going through a foresty area with boarded up, abandoned buildings. And as the sun set, it started to give it a very eerie feel. Ten minutes and more boarded up buildings later, already a bit freaked out, we see our shortcut has led us to a
Starting point is 00:25:26 two and a half metre mesh fence, separating us from the camp. At this point the sun has set, and my friend didn't fancy going past the abandoned buildings in the dark, so we were left with no choice but to climb into the concentration camp, something we must have been one of the few people in the world to have ever done. As if the shame of climbing into the camp wasn't
Starting point is 00:25:41 bad enough, my coat then got caught in the mesh and ripped completely, leaving me freezing at the start of German into the camp wasn't bad enough, my coat then got caught in the mesh and ripped completely, leaving me freezing at the start of German winter to top it all off. Probably the least of the bad karma we deserve for our shortcut. Thank you, Alex. That is a story of a shortcut and no mistake. Yeah, it's... Fair play to him for owning up. Yes, yeah, I think you let yourself down.
Starting point is 00:26:03 You didn't know, though, Alex. You just didn't know. You didn't know what you were doing. Fair enough, and thank you for your honesty. We should get out of here, Pete. We've run out of time, so the next show will be back on Thursday. We look forward to speaking to you then. I mean, scarcely believably, it will almost be April.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Can you believe that, Peter? I can't believe it. Where does the time go? I'm so angry at it being almost April. Can you believe that, Peter? I can't believe it. Where does the time go? I'm so angry at being almost April. I want to pull my face off like Beetlejuice does at the end of that film. Do you ever get that thing where you only just get used to typing 22
Starting point is 00:26:33 when you do dates and you think, fucking hell, it's now 23. It happens to me all the time. When I was younger, I used to get used to it in about two weeks. Yeah, I mean, it's not 23. Let's make that very clear. No, but what I'm saying is by the time I get used to writing 22, it will be two weeks. Yeah, I mean, it's not 23. Let's make that very clear. No, but what I'm saying is by the time I get used to writing 22, it will be 23. True.
Starting point is 00:26:47 And we'll all be a year closer into the future. I plan on growing three inches. Do you? I'm going to get my bones broken and extended. You've talked about bone breaking quite a lot.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Yeah. I'm now worried that you might actually do it. It would be weird if I suddenly was taller. No, but you're the kind of person that's screaming in agony. Whoa, hiccups.
Starting point is 00:27:06 You get bored a lot and then therefore do stupid stuff. Yeah, I'm not going to do it myself. I'm not going to set a claw hammer on my own shins. No, you'd probably get someone else to do it,
Starting point is 00:27:15 but it would still be horrific. Anyway. And I'll pay a top dollar. Hello at LukeandPete.com is the email address and at Luke and Pete show is the social media destination. Do get in touch
