It's just getting better. Weird, isn't it? It's like the worst thing in the world, and then a couple of hours later, you're like, I had a hangover for a very long time. Yeah, it was ill-advised. What indie club were you at? It's not an indie club. I was in the city. What indie club were you at? It was not an indie club.

It was in the city. What, in the financial district? In the financial district. What were you doing there? Just having a drink. Who with? A guy called Damien and my friend Alex. Oh, it's always Damien and Alex, isn't it?

Oh, it's Damien and Alex. He got me some trousers. Right. So that was cause for a celebration, was it? That was cause. You turned up with none. Wetting the trousers' head. Oh, yeah. Let's get pissed. I got some trousers. Right. So that was cause for a celebration, was it? That was cause. You turned up with none. Wetting the trousers' head. Oh, yeah.

Let's get pitched. I've got some trousers, finally. Yeah. Demian is a very tall man. He's quite big and he's given me these trousers

that he reckons I can get tailored, which, you know, on a similarly sized man, I would have no issue with, but I just think the knee's not going to be in the right place. It's just not going to work.

But I'll have a go. How old are they, though? They're new trousers, but he's put on a bit of timber, so he can't wear them anymore. They don't have a knee, do they? What? They're trousers. Yeah, I know, but I just think the cut will all be wrong,

and they'll have to really think about things. They could probably just take a few inches off the bottom. Yeah, but then they'll be big guy trousers, but like with my legs in them. Why are you doing it then? Because he insisted and I just, I'm a people pleaser. He's a bigger boy. So next time you see him, you're going to get right in your head about whether you're wearing his trousers or not.

Yeah, exactly. Oh dear. But it's just another bit of admin that I didn't need. You know what I mean? Like I've got, I've got, he's going to be asking, have you got them fixed yet? Have you got them fixed yet? And I'm like, ah, I'm not going to get them fixed yet.

Just leave it. The next thing you want to do is say, I don't want them. No, they're nice trousers. You just said they're not going to fit you.

I just think the tailoring will be all wrong, but I'll have a go. I'll report back. On the Luke and Pete show, this is the Luke and Pete

show. I'm Pete Donaldson and I have two pairs of new trousers, Luke. Oh, there's two of them now. Two pairs of new trousers. You know what I really absolutely avoid like the plague and I have two pairs of new trousers, Luke. Oh, there's two of them now? Two pairs of new trousers.

You know what I really absolutely avoid, like the plague and I'm terrible at, is the admin of sending back clothes that I've bought that don't fit me. Yes, and that... To the point where my wife just does it. I think the share price... I must have contributed to the increase

in the share price of a few companies by not doing that. Like I'd miss the cut off and it's like 30 days you get to send back. the increase in the share price of a few companies by not doing that. I'd miss the cut-off, and it's like 30 days you get to send back. I think technically you can probably go further, but you probably have to argue the toss. There's an enterprising Instagram company that I bought a couple of shirts off,

completely the wrong size, and they do this thing where they don't give you a return form, they just sort of go, email us and we'll send you a return form. They don't reply to that email. They probably legally have to, don't they? They don't reply to that email. It's just all those

dodgy dropshippy Instagram Chinese places, I guess. Right. What is dropshipping? Buying bulk items cheaply and then just, not even, I think taking receipt of the goods, just sending them straight to Amazon

and Amazon just sending them out. Well, how do you get money then? You just sell them separately for profit? Yeah, you just, yeah, you're just getting them cheap online and then basically sending the package to Amazon to send out to furnish and service the order.

Well, Amazon don't have any kind of beef with that? No. All money, innit? Yeah. All money, baby! have any beef with that. No? All money, innit? Yeah. All money, baby.

All right. Recently on the Luke and Pete show, we spent a lot of chat about me being up in Newcastle. We then spent a bit of time talking about Ricky Lambert's conspiracy theories, which I then followed up

with quite a lot of my own conspiracy theories about, you know, kind of encounters with unexplained phenomena and stuff, which I think is, um, is a little bit less sinister.

It's more a genuinely held interest in unknown things rather than thinking that at some point, you know, everyone's going to come and take my kids away or whatever. You're a fact explorer. I am a fact explorer, actually. Thank you very much, Peter. Grabbing that fact just before the big ball rolls down the hill and crushes you. Exactly. Exactly.

And then we also discussed the sphere didn't we we did discuss the big sphere you kind of related it to Liam Neeson's

film Taken yeah and then we talked about how a lot of sheep ate 100 kilos of cannabis you know what that sounds like a good show

solid well I feel like that's pretty solid stuff solid stuff yeah proper Luke and Pete Shaw meat so to speak. And then, obviously, as you would have heard in the intro,

Pete's got a bit of a hangover today because he's hanging out with the cooler kids again. Yeah. What was your poison? What was your drink of choice, Peter? Just endless beers. Because someone has to drink them. Someone has to drink them,

and it was me on this occasion. My endless beers. As the song goes. Endless love, Peter. Endless love. You know it. I'm trying to find that Hulk Hogan clip of him doing an impression of a dog. Oh, yeah.

Hulk Hogan's a regular contributor to this show. Not literally. As in, we talk about him a lot. And there was an amazing clip that Pete showed me earlier of him trying to do an impression of a dog. Yeah. And being unable to do so, one would say. And you'd think that kind of thought process

would be automatic for most people. Yes. It's one of the first things you teach a baby. What noise does a dog make? Woof, woof. What noise does Hulk Hogan think a dog makes? If he wants to be the big dog, barrrr!

Play it again. If he wants to be the big dog, barrrr! he thinks a dog sorry is that Sammy yeah go Baru Baru it reminds me of when Donald Trump

I think it was when he was running to be president or when he was president I can't remember he went off on about he was talking about how a particular type of people

were treated probably his family or whatever uh because he's obviously grievance motivated isn't he and he started saying and they were treated worse than a dog and um talked about all these different things that happened to which point everyone just went these days like most people treat their dogs pretty well yeah no one does no, no, no. What are you doing to dogs? Yeah. What are you doing to dogs? Because most dogs get looked after. Not all of them.

And that's a tragedy, but most of them, most people love their dogs probably more than, um, more than their own family. I remember I was up at a, um, a former Premier League footballers house interviewing him once.

And, um, uh, when I got there, he was like, I'm really sorry, but i just want to let you know earlier this week our beloved dog passed away and we've had him for like 14 years really sad so if you think if everyone's been a bit kind of morose around here he probably wouldn't have

said the word morose but you know what i mean uh he said that's why i just want you to know and i said oh you know it's terrible when a pet dies isn't it you know it's almost like losing a family member isn't it and he went oh it's much worse than that i you know, it's terrible when a pet dies, isn't it? You know, it's almost like losing a family member, isn't it? And he went, oh, it's much worse than that. You know, I haven't had a lot of experience in this area, but you do sort of think that, like, they had their own agency. You know what I mean? Humans have, to a lesser extent, to a lesser or greater extent, have their own agency.

That's why people are more sympathetic to a homeless dog than a homeless person, because there's a implied understanding, wrongly, usually, that the human's got itself in that position. Right. The dog hasn't had a choice in it. But do you not think that, like, you don't really see homeless dogs anymore?

You just don't see strays? No, but I mean a homeless person with a dog. Oh, right, yeah. Yeah. That's why homeless people get the... I wouldn't call a stray dog a homeless dog. That sounds weird. A little knapsack.

A person with a dog. Yeah. Well, they rent them out, don't they? They pay a quid a day or something. Because you just make more money. Oh, is that true? Yeah. Well, the dog's trained to just sit there.

Yeah. There's the guy who just goes and sorry dogs. That sounds like a right-wing conspiracy theory. It's not a bad one, though, is it? It sounds like they were some GB news. Speaking of that, have you seen what's happened

with Lawrence Fox? Was he live-streaming him getting arrested? I seem to recall. Bit of that, yeah. Yeah, bit of that. Nice. It was an amazing insight.

Pete, just describe who Lawrence Fox is to our American listeners. Right-wing actor who has made a name for himself while destroying his own career by being a grifting right-wing maniac. I would say, imagine how hard one person can take a divorce. It's always this.

It's a similar. It's the double dune. They're all just double a dune. I actually met Lawrence Fox once. Did I tell you that? Yeah. So do you remember the pub opposite Capital Radio everyone used to go? Yeah.

The Garrick? Yes. The Garrick. We were in there once. Or we were walking across to go in there. And there's all these photographers outside. Just standing there. And that's weird.

Because he would have been Billy's. He was married to Billy Piper at the time. Billy Piper's. We went in there and they were in the pub. Right. And some people were talking with him, I guess guess because a lot of the on their staff probably would have known him in a bit or whatever or would have interviewed him at least and they were chatting and i was in a little but not a little actually quite a big circle of people that were just chatting to him and at the time i mean it's

tempting to backfill a narrative isn't it because you don't really know what's going to happen in the future yeah but at the time i don't remember thinking anything other than it was just vaguely interesting he didn't seem mental or anything. No. And you see with these sort of characters and it's very funny when they get fired from their one job doing their one grift that I do find their

opposition to this stuff disingenuous. They don't care. They're doing it for money. It's a performance in itself. Because he's a professional actor. And I'm going to come on to the point I was actually going to say about Lawrence Fox, which I found fucking funny and obviously terribly tragic. they're doing it for money. It's a performance in itself. Yeah, exactly. Because he's a professional actor. Yeah. And I'm going to come on to the point I was actually

going to say about Lawrence Fox, which I found fucking funny and obviously terribly tragic because of the absolute state he is. But one thing that was actually quite almost poignant was that like, he took a bit of time out

on Twitter for more of this nonsense to put quite a heartfelt thing about Michael Gambon, who died. Who's obviously a great actor passed away recently and Lawrence Fox

had worked with him and what he didn't realise he was doing Fox when he was writing this kind of quite heartfelt thing about how great it was to work with him

and how amazing he was I was like what you've done there is you've essentially opened up a portal in what your life could have been like if you weren't a complete

fucking idiot because obviously not a bad act. I mean, he got work. He was working in big mainstream dramas and stuff. And now all he's got is that Hunter Biden DVD, straight-to-DVD monstrosity the Republicans put out. And just an endless array of grievances.

But what he actually did that made me think about him in the first place was just that he went on some fucking YouTube show saying, I implore everyone to speak to this person I know who's got loads of money who said they'll put the money

behind the counter of any hardware store to buy angle grinders to take down all these ULITS cameras, right? And then he just doubled down on it and went, and the clip's out there online if you want to watch it. He then said,

oh yeah, I'm actually looking forward to doing it myself and getting arrested so I can have my day in court and explain how much of a nonsense it is. And then just got arrested. So what do you expect? Don't film it, and then film a response going, oh, look, can you imagine what the police are doing?

Well, yeah, I can actually, because you just... Did he film himself cutting down a Euler's camera? No. Right. He essentially filmed himself fully intending to commit a crime. Crime, yeah. Come and get me. Yeah, so the police were like,

okay, well, that's conspiracy to commit criminal damage, so we're going to come see you. You're the most public man in the UK. So it's not going to be difficult to find you. It's not that you're fucking anonymous or some kind of fucking IRA terrorist to balaclava on. He's starting to look like, he looks like a little mouse anywhere, but he's starting to look like he looks like a

little mouse anyway but he's starting to look a bit like Tommy Tippy from the 70s do you remember like that like I do a lot of people listening won't

remember that no but if you google Tommy Tippy the 70s you don't see the the logo all that much anymore but I used to have a jumper with Tommy Tippy on the

front and he looks like him it's difficult to to search that now because Tommy Tippy is now the leading baby looks like him. It's difficult to search for that now because Tommy Tippy is now the leading baby brand, isn't it? How did he take over? What's Skellings and Tommy Tippy's

club? We use the Tommy Tippy Perfect Prep Machine at home with our baby. A Tommy Tippy Perfect Prep Machine. Which, if you are not a parent, you'll find very boring, but if you are a parent,

you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. If you're bottle feeding a baby, that's the fucking Rolls Royce baby. Perfect temperature, perfect amount every time.

Just press a button. It's like an espresso machine for babies. It's amazing, mate. What, you put the milk in and it comes out and they're like a... Put the bottle under,

press the button, exactly the right amount of boiling water, put your formula in, put it back under, press the button again, exactly the right amount of cool water.

Perfect temperature, perfect amount. This sounds like that could be done manually. Well, if it's in the middle of the night. If it's in the middle of the night. You've got to boil water.

You've got to scald it out. Yeah, good point. Wait for the kettle to boil, et cetera, et cetera. Baby's screaming, mate. It's a perfect prep machine. I'd love to hear what you're going to do.

What's your solution when you're slagging off the Tommy Tippy perfect prep? Get them on chicken dippers as soon as possible. So you open the door, chuck a carcass in, what's your solution that you're slagging off the Tommy Tippy perfect prep get him get him on chicken dippers as soon as possible so you open the door chuck a carcass in

yeah cut the door just let him go to town on that yeah yes what was I going to say so Lawrence Fox

Lawrence Fox and the weird vicar I'm very much enjoying the weird vicar Calvin Robinson Calvin Robinson he's not actually a vicar is he

I think they may have I think he used to write for video game magazines he did I, he's not actually a vicar, is he? I think they may have, I think he used to write for video game magazines. He did. I think he used to write a bit of video game stuff. Um, but he, uh, hilariously,

he's very down about losing his job. Um, and usually at this point, so to say, you know, it's never nice when people lose their jobs, but in this case, it is nice when they lose their jobs.

Um, but he, he's very upset because he doesn't know how he's going to make rent because he's lost his job on GB News or whatever. And it's like, you have to diversify your grift, sir. Like, you cannot just be lazy and just do one job, effectively, because knowing what your right-wing nonsense is like, of like right wing kind of like nonsense is like, you're going to overstep the mark at some point.

And it's going to become too spicy for the spiciest demographic and the spiciest. Well, the money men, basically. Yeah. And who's to say you're not going to get, the advertisers are going to pull and your particular brand of this weird stuff, you're going to be left on your ear, unfortunately. So you cannot just have one job.

Totally. So Calvin Robertson is a colleague of Lawrence Fox's at GB News, or erstwhile colleague, and he wanted to become a Church of England vicar, but was rejected because of his madness and because of the fact that he was very, very, I don't know what you'd call it really, but he basically submitted a freedom of information request

about why he didn't get in and they released a lot of information and there was a lot of concerns about the kind of nature of his politics which weren't aligning with what the church wants to preach. And that's exactly like fine. Yeah, of course. So he then became a member of the free church,

which is like a different thing. Right. And so he wears the dog collar and stuff but I don't know how serious he's taken because it's not really my area of expertise at all

but he's the bishop of London basically blocked his ordination yeah I think anyway you're right

what these kind of idiots don't understand is that the money men who are putting the money up to make this happen to i.e. pay them to do this stuff

so they can make a profit off it, they only want you to go so far. Yes. The quiet bits can't be said out loud. As soon as you say the quiet bits out loud, you're gone. You're gone.

So if Lawrence Fox wants to, you know, make some kind of dog whistle point about women, those awful people who are funding it aren't going to say anything. If you go on live TV and say the stuff he said, they're going to go, we obviously can't be alarmed with that. Get a brain in your head understand what we're

all doing here say traditional people next time which is what they always say and it'll be fine and then Calvin Robertson came out

because he's so used to being able to say whatever he wants he came out and supported Lawrence Fox you're gone as well there's always another fucking idiot to come along

don't worry about that we'll be fine the grift will be fine exactly so I think I'm not sure we're going to be long for this but I actually think without getting too high minded about it Yeah, see you later. There's always another fucking idiot to come along. Don't worry about that. We'll be fine, thanks. The grifter will be fine. Exactly. So I'm not sure we're going to be long for this world. But I actually think, without getting too high-minded about it, I think that all this stuff is a very convincing symptom of late-stage capitalism.

You've said this quite a lot, and I agree. It's the collapse of the Western liberal order, I think. The whole thing just seems like we're living through some kind of history here. Yeah. And I think that it's going to be horrific to see how it pans out. I hope not, for the sake of our children and our children's children.

And our children's children, whether they have access to a Tommy Tippy perfect prep machine or not. On much more familiar ground, Peter, would you prefer to talk about the fact that a motorist has been fined after a, this is over in Australia. After a...

I guess it was a speed camera. Right. Photographed a car going too fast. Look at the photo. Oh, my God. It's a dog driving. A dog is driving. It's a dog driving the car.

That's not even a self-driving car, is it? It was in Slovakia, apparently, not Australia. Nice. It's not a self-driving car. Police in Slovakia find a man whose dog was seen sitting behind a dog driving the car. That's not even a self-driving car, is it? It was in Slovakia, apparently, not Australia. Nice. It's not a self-driving car. Police in Slovakia find a man whose dog was seen sitting behind the wheel of the car. A moving car. Presumably, he's... Got it on his lap, maybe?

On his lap, yeah. Yeah. It was absolutely... But it looks entirely like a big brown dog is driving a car too fast. He's off to work. He said that the dog jumped on his lap, but he wasn't sure he could do it. But the dog looks very comfortable there. Yeah, he looks very relaxed.

He's sitting there. He's going, Aroo. He's going, Baroo. Baroo. He's having a lovely time. Has Hulk Hogan only ever seen cartoon dogs?

Yeah. It's hard to see where Hulk Hogan takes any of his inspiration. He invented dogs. He invented dogs. invented dogs he constantly lies it just makes me laugh that he he's only ever interviewed

by people who have no idea about wrestling so when he says that yeah Mark said yeah I pulled the giant's head off

and then put it back on his shoulders like they sort of go oh okay nobody challenges him that didn't happen that didn't happen you weren't at SummerS't happen you weren't at

SummerSlam 93 I'd love Mark and you to interview him Baru would you do it have you got the opportunity Baru he's very

not good it'd be great content it would be great content but he is he did say the N word a lot he did say the N word a lot so you don't want to endorse that

makes it difficult no yeah it's true and also what are you getting out of him he just lies all the time for wrestling that's ideal

I'd love Mark Haynes to take on the role of like a barrister yes yeah no he didn't none of that happened

didn't happen yeah I would say that and then Hulk Hogan did a big leg drop on him well Disco Inferno

wrestler you will not remember from the 90s or the 90s there was a wrestler called Disco Inferno would say that and then and then i'll go to do a big uh leg drop on him well uh disco inferno uh wrestler you will not remember from the 90s uh or the north there was a wrestler called disco inferno yeah uh and it won't it won't surprise you to learn that uh it was a saturday night fever gimmick and uh he he mentioned uh wrestle me uh he was agreeing with us actually it was quite nice disco inferno real name gl. Good stuff. He still pods. He still pods here and there. Does he? Great to see. He agreed with one of our points. Does it give you a

real buzz to hear that? Yes, it does actually. Especially Disco Inferno. Can I just take you back to the Garrick pub? Yes. Did you frequent? I did, yeah. A little too early, really. What do you mean? We'd finish the show at 11 and go straight there. So we'd wait for it to open, basically.

So you'd be done by the time I got there? Well, the rest of the team would go straight to the pub. I would go for a sleep and then turn up about 4, 5 in the afternoon. That's not like you. What do you mean? I'd like you to do something different. Yeah. To be a bit different.

Good point. But I used to get sleepy. So I was ready for the night out. By the time I'd arrive at like four or five in the afternoon, everyone was absolutely Johnny Hammond. And what time was the call time for your breakfast show the next day? Well, it was only, that's a Friday. That's a Friday thing.

Oh, so Saturday before. Call times were like, you know, five. And who's the most tragically famous person that you had drinks with in the Garrick? I've already put Lawrence Fox and Billy Piper out there. Yeah, no, I don't think I ever drank with anybody well-known in the Garrick. Don't say it.

Don't say Alex. It's Alex. A really, really good recent Clash of the Titles episode, one of our film podcasts with Alex and Vicky and Chris. They were doing Eddie Murphy films. They were doing 48 Hours with Nick Nolte and they were doing

Beverly Hills Cop 1. It's just called Beverly Hills Cop, isn't it? Well, you need to know which one. There was three of them, weren't there? Beverly Hills Cop and they made the point that Chris reckons that Axel Foley might be a gay character

yeah I can see that because he has no love interest he has some friends that are women and

they and he's very homophobic in it right because Eddie Murphy that was his shtick at the time

very homophobic stuff so you reckon they wrote it as, that was his shtick at the time. Very homophobic stuff. So you reckon they wrote it as a character? I haven't heard that one. The last one I've heard was the Charles play and Megan one. Right, nice. So are they arguing that they wrote the character like that without Eddie Murphy realising? I think someone could make art and it be interpreted

in a different way, I suppose. But yeah, I think it's all tied in with the racist idea that audiences would not go along with a black man having a relationship with a white woman at that time in film. You think of the 80s as being progressive. I mean, it wasn't. It was a vast swath of America. So it would hurt the chances at the box office,

and it later went on to be the biggest film, bigger than Ghostbusters 2 or Ghostbusters, whatever. But yeah, it went on to be a huge, huge hit. But they say because of these choices being made, they reckon that there was possibly something there for this kind of homophobic, self-hating gay character in the shape of Axel Foley. I do want to go back and watch 48 Hours, though.

I don't think I've ever seen 48 Hours. I've seen another 48 Hours. What did you think the chance was? Did I watch the first one? You didn't think you watched the first one. You watched the second one. I didn't think I watched either of them. Apparently the other 48 Hours was a rip-roaring failure

because they edited half an hour of the film off a week before it got released. A week before it got released. I think that kind of stuff happens more often than you think, doesn't it? That's very close to broadcast, isn't it? That panorama Dispatch is about Russell Brand.

Told you that was being edited right up on the day. Oh, I bet. As they get there. So I guess with the movies, I suppose they've got to print it and they've got to print it and they've got to send it. Back then they would have done it anyway, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because it's a film, so I guess it's probably a little bit more, a little bit rarer. I'm fascinated. Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen 40 Hours, I don't even know what it's about. It's just a buddy cop,

you know, white old cop, young black guy, policeman. Do people still call them buddy cops? Yeah, I think so. Buddy cop. He's one of the first ones.

Yeah, it's a buddy cop action comedy film. I cannot recommend... I can't believe I haven't seen it. It's right up my street. It's really, really good. It wasn't this week, it was a few weeks ago, but... Is it problematic though now? Everything's problematic now, isn't it?

I suppose. I watch The Office every night. Don't open with that. Everything's problematic now. Let's have a break when we come back we'll do some batteries because there's some

We got you. Rogers. Hello, it's the Luke and Pete show. I'm Pete Donaldson. How you doing? Watcha? What getcha? Before we get to batteries,

would you be pleased to learn that I managed to successfully reschedule a visit from Essex Water Board today? Why are they visiting? They're looking at my pipes, because I think they're ripping out lead pipes for free, so I thought I'll have a bit of that. You're red rag to a bull stuff, aren't you, talking to me about water companies? I know, right?

I just thought I'd pique your interest. I saw a little update about that. Have you seen that the water companies now are saying that they want to replace all the stuff and do this sort of sewage stuff out um but you need to pay more right okay and then someone went on and said i thought fairly pointed out you've had more money for 34 years and you've paid out over a billion pounds um last year to your dividends why aren't they paying for it? I do find it hilarious that

people at the top of the tree, like, it's the last thing to get reduced, isn't it? It's the last thing to get, like, if you are running a business that you can't afford, you know, you can't afford to do the thing that people are literally paying you for, the last thing to

go is the... I know it's quite obvious and stuff, it's an obvious point to make, You can't afford to do the thing that people are literally paying you for. The last thing that goes... I know it's quite obvious and stuff. It's an obvious point to make. But that's not running a company. That's stealing, in my opinion. It is. No, it is. It is.

And it's almost like, as someone else pointed out, right? We don't choose whether we need water or not. No. So you've already got a customer base. It's not as though you're ever going to run out of customers for water the problem is Peter I think people always

say straight away I'll renationalise it have you seen that absolute shower pun intended that are supposed to be in charge of doing the government

stuff it's not going to get any better the geezer who runs the government at the moment just announced after however many

years and however much land bought up and however much buildings destroyed they and however much fucking buildings destroyed, they're no longer doing HS2 to Manchester, in Manchester. He announced it in Manchester without telling anyone. And what we're basically saying now

is Britain can't even build a train line. That's the one thing we were good at. Back in the Victorian times, Britain has got a pretty checkered record to say the least about the stuff it got up to. Fair enough. The one thing we were pretty good at was building fucking trains. And now we can't even do that.

So it's just, if you've seen, I know it's probably an unhelpful comparison, but just for illustrative purposes, have you seen how quickly China builds train lines? Yeah. I know there's a lot of employment law issues. And also, I think there's quality concerns about a lot of Chinese infrastructure, I would say.

But you're right, it can be done. Japan's a very good example. Japan's extension of the Shinkansen line took no time at all, under budget, on time, all that stuff. It's laughable if you take into account how big, how small the UK is. Yeah.

How far is London to Birmingham, Birmingham to Manchester? Yeah. If you speak to an American about that, that's not even a journey. And I find, uh, people who are obsessed with trains so charming,

and I just want them to be happy. Nice types. Because nice types. They deserve more. They deserve more. They deserve more than the bloody train museum in York. They deserve more.

All they want is some tones. Rrr, toot, toot. That's a Hulk Hogan by you. Rrrr. Baroo. Baroo. Train sounds like that. Do the batteries, Pete. Alright then.

Errr. Ray Grant. Hi, good gents. Most importantly, love the show and great that we now get the visuals to go with the audio. This is my third and hopefully lucky entry into the wonderful world of batteries. May I present to you rather Just High

Just High man there's a battery brand called Just High Just High yeah and a big shout in about how many milliamp

hours you get out of it 800 apparently I think that seems high but yeah good stuff Just High I presume it's a new player

because it sounds bloody mad. Of course it's a new player. Of course it's a new player. I cannot believe there's a battery out there called Just High. It looks like a battery from the 70s as well. Yeah. It's still in pretty good shape.

And also, I don't know whether it's on a seat, a van or a train. It looks like it might be a seat on a train in presumably Wollongong, Australia, just south of Sydney that's where Ray hails from but good to see

the train seat as well that's my favourite battery for ages yeah it's good absolutely classic design as well stick that on the Instagram somebody

doesn't make any sense to call a battery that just high yeah agreed Andy you know the drill baby son

endless new toys endless battery opportunities please let there be a Lord above who grants me a new player three circles and it's like a

it's like a fucked up Olympic logo kind of a link it's like a chain three links in a chain sadly though for you Andy

you are the fourth person to send in three circles and you're only the second Andy actually what a shame Andy McLaughlin

our friend Andy McLaughlin sent these in on January. Patrick Sketch, the pleasingly named Patrick Sketch, sent them in in September, and Chris Arch was the first one to send them in back in 2021. So you're not a new player on there, I'm afraid,

but nice effort nonetheless. Indeed. And finally for now, Jim. G'day, gents. Love the show. Appreciate the nonsense. In May, I sent in some unbranded batteries. Well, I've only just gone and found a second unbranded batch. Weird. It is weird. I mean, they're green, they're brandless,

and they're buggers, according to Jim in Melbourne. These were found in a set of solar fairy lights that had recently died. It's technically rechargeable, but under your recent edict, one-shot rechargeables do qualify. Dare I dream of a second new entry? I think Jim previously sent in some white brandless batteries,

which we did allow in. Could we get some confirmation whether Jim in Melbourne painted them green? Well, the plot does thicken though, because amazingly, these green brandless ones whether Jim in Melbourne painted them green, every lime green. the plot does thicken though. Right. Because amazingly, these green brandless ones have been submitted before by Sam

on May the 6th. So, they are technically allowed, Jim in Melbourne, but you've been beaten to the punch and you're going to have to be content with the fact

that you've sent some white brandless ones in. Yeah. The green brandless ones have already been sent in by Sam. I'll tell you what, for any battery photographer out there, Jim's done a lovely job of putting a mirror behind the green brandless battery in this shot. So you get to see the back and the front as well.

It's a lovely tip from a seasoned battery hunter. I'd love to see that tactic employed more often. Exactly, true. Very pleasing. I also found a twit tree of warriors in a cheap torch. They're lead-based and I have a Chinese URL on them, which my antivirus software has flagged as a phishing pitch. Great work.

Great work. I cannot tell you how many people have sent in warriors. Warriors. Yeah, come out to play. It's about fucking 500, so no chance on that as well but Jim thanks for your passion for the art

and the craft love it and great photography if you've found a battery brand in your bits and bobs trinkets and toys just give us an email
