it's the look of pete shaw my name is pete donaldson luke moore is still not here so we are joined by the one and the only sports horn host with the most anthony richardson how you doing man i'm i'm good i'm really good i'm tired are you tired, man? I'm good. I'm really good. I'm tired. Are you tired? Yeah, it's bank holiday four-day week. Yeah. I'm going to say too many bank holidays because they don't exist for us, do they, bank holidays? I thought you meant as a father. No. I mean, obviously you are.

I'm currently looking at you and you've helpfully for your job painted the back of your room yeah a bright uh gen lock um green so you can kind of mask yourself out and add in backgrounds and stuff like that that's right why didn't we think of that that's so much easier than actually well this is so much easier well i i went to i went to home base and i said um green me up show me your greens show me your greenest green and they said what and I said, show me your greens. Show me your greenest greens. And they said, what? And I said, oh, just like a bright green.

And they're like, well, what type? There's literally thousands. And I said, oh, yeah. And the green shelf. So I said, oh, just hold it there, please. And then I googled green screen Pantone or whatever it is. And then I gave them the code and then the hex code right this is it and they found it the greenest of greens the perfect green i wanted

a luminous one but you can't you just like home base don't do luminous color paint no so um yeah this is it it's it's like i i guess with with kind of um bank holidays being a parent as well that's that's no time off for you at all is it no it's just rubbish you're constantly working it's rubbish and like i i'm working nobody knows i'm off because i'm a freelancer and i've got to tell my missus that you know oh i've actually got to work till like 11 a.m and then she's like well it's one of our children's birthdays or something and it's like oh for god's sake is it uh okay i'll take an hour off. But yeah, it's just when everything... And like, you know, one bank holiday in May is when the snooker's on.

So, you know... You've got that. You've got the snooker. And another is, I don't know, the king got married or something. Haven't really kept up. It's just like, for God's sake. Jesus. Still busy working. Can't read the newspaper yeah absolutely and people like oh it's a good it's a good trial for the four-day week you know when ai starts to take over and we don't we have less work and it's like

yeah but that's assuming the fifth day people know you're off that's assuming you're off yeah and we never especially if people have different days. And I would say that, like, certainly I get the sense, though she's never vocalised it, the stupid things that I have to do for my job are when my partner sees me doing them on a day that could be better spent with, you know, her and the family. Yeah.

I just sort of think she thinks that I'm'm just pissing about but this is my job and i presume similar vibes around around richardson town yeah and they're like and she's like what you know boris johnson's just like failed to give loads of information and i happen to have a video about that that i recorded a year ago and my wife's like what are you doing on twitter it's it's 8am on sunday yeah i'm just trying to find the embed code that's what i'm doing so i can get some more likes and clout so we don't have to do this anymore we can like retire but i'm never gonna retire the so so i should uh not i mean that's just one big mayday Bank holiday retirement. Very much like Gary Neville sees holidays as just a short retirement.

It's probably worth explaining who you are to people who don't know. I'm sure anyone who's been on social media in the last three or four years knows exactly who you are. Anthony Richardson, part of the Exploding Heads duo. We've been working with you, or I've been working with you at Stack stack uh for about a year i think on a show called sports on um can you explain sports on please yeah sports sports on is it's the uk's third most talked about uh sports breakfast radio show it's a channel it's in fact sports on the show in question is the ian five ankles breakfast show And that's hosted by former professional footballer, current pundit Ian Five Ancles and me.

And exactly. And yeah, Sports On is the larger network. And we're just one of the shows on it. But the whole podcast, confusingly, is just that hour. You don't get any other. You don't get any other content. So we're coming to the end of uh season one and so the show is uh it's kind of like a a docu sort of parody of um i mean it's talk spot in it it's talk spot there's no there's no point hiding it it's it's talk sport if you've ever listened to talk sport and thought is this real uh then yeah we're out of a job

yeah most people listen to talk sport and think it is real but some of the stuff on talk sport demands parodying and that's where we come in so we usually parody the football nonsense on talk sport uh just anything that they get outraged about um with their old school punditry style um we take the piss out of their stupid promos their advertising uh their features their jingles and their sort of when they get all serious about mental health for about five minutes before before dismissing it and getting a caller who's got clearly mental health issues to call in yeah there are so many radio stations that i listen to that pile in on getting um presenters to quite weirdly do like vault fasters and explanations about their own mental health right and it's cut the point where they're commoditising some pretty serious stuff from presenters,

and I'm not sure it's right, you know. Yeah, me neither. And it's like, how far do we take this? I remember Mike Parry split up with his girlfriend live on air. He was like, I'm doing this now. He doesn't sound like that. Gemma, it's over it's over and everyone else is like oh no not now not now mike no no and it's like well that i think mike why did he do that i think um they were talking about um you know toxic relationships and how you know yeah and he was like oh i'm sick of it i'm doing it right now on air jammer if you're listening it's over it's like you put cinnamon on your face everything yeah

everything's monetized for him everything's content everything's content um so uh so how has the first sort of season of um i was gonna say succession not quite successful yeah uh yeah we're looking at killing off a few people uh yeah it's been good it's been um it's been just it's it's been great we've been we've had a right old laugh and uh the best thing about it is none of it's yeah none of it's topical so um yeah still still uh still time to dip in if you haven't listened to it before. To start with episode one, move your way onwards. And, yeah, you'll have a good 30 hours of content there to listen to. But, yeah, it's been really fun.

Writing the script, quite easy. You just vaguely listen to what's happening on Twitter where a pundit has a go at a whole football team for celebrating even though they haven't won anything and then well it turned out i was right in retrospect didn't it uh but uh yeah yeah um and and it goes from there but yeah we've had some great fun with with comedians we've had like rosie holt we've had guys from the pen we've had matt green oh we've had loads of people come in and do do some voices and next year we're gonna get some

footballers actual footballers yes well i'm gonna be sliding into as many dms as i possibly can to get him on because there is there are names that come up in sports on and there are characters that come up in sports on that i have not heard of since the 1990s. I don't know where you get these cult footballers that I haven't thought of or had to think of for a very, very long, long, long time. Is it Peggy Arfexad? Yeah.

Was he Wimbledon? Definitely Liverpool. I've not thought of that guy for such a long time. I think he won more trophies than he had appearances, which is, I think think he's got the most bang for his buck out of any player in the world he's won tons of trophies i think he won the champions league with liverpool um yeah and uh didn't play for anyone but yeah it's uh well part of it is there's there's a bit of like well firstly nostalgia but secondly all of these players from then are quite

they feel just their names are quite old and sad like rod wallace it just sounds like yeah you know you just you just sort of got they've got a nice probably detached house yeah with a with With a jag from 1995. Yeah, that's right. And they're just not, they're not quite polished enough to be on the television. Yeah. And they haven't got a decent enough agent to get them on the radio. Yeah. And you just wonder what they get up to.

They've still got money and it's all money, but you just wonder what they get up to day to day. And you just pray that they didn't fall foul to any like investment scandals but like some you know and they're just like having a good life because they deserve it so but they didn't earn enough money so hard yeah exactly they didn't earn enough money to be like you know and and there's no fun in talking about football as everyone talks about is there so it's much better finding the cults players that ian played with yeah and the sort of late 90s early 2000s yeah and and these footballers are so old school that even the nft grifters don't want them to advertise their shitty nfts so they're not even getting taken advantage of like that they're they're they're the people

are going to take advantage of them a british gas um uh fraud schemes cold callers and stuff like that that's what i worry yeah i i imagine a lot of them go to like a function room in a service station and like sign a load of you know books it's time sharing it time shares yeah like you know when there's like twitter accounts of like yeah like you know when there's like twitter accounts of like meetings with footballers and it's never like i met uh beckham is it like that's not interesting we know what beckham's up to no but like if someone meets david wieter i'm interested i'm interested in what i'm interested in what most footballers are up to now. I'm not going to lie. And it could be of any era. Even the cult heroes of like only about,

you know, seven years ago, there was a video of Newcastle United's new upgraded training ground. They went around today and, and Shola Amiobi, the loan manager who has, his loan record is so awful. He sends all the Newcastle players north of the border. They never get any minutes.

They fuck off. It kills their career every time. And Shola is the architect of every last one of these fuckers. And he's going around. There's just a clip of him going, all right, welcome to Newcastle training ground. And then he goes into the steam room and he goes, here's the steam room.

Get steamy in here. And I just wonder how he how he fills his day like it's like there's you've only ever got like 50 players at your disposal

that get loan moves so like what do you do for the rest of the week? I know and the footballers who hate football as well like David Batty hated football

and he used to it's like what was he doing now? He's just fishing. He's just fishing. Yeah, Batty's fishing. Yeah, the guys have got... Is it Batty and...

Who's the other one who likes fishing? The Newcastle player. Lee Boyer, he's a big fisher. Oh, Lee Boyer loves fishing. Lee Boyer. And these players, like Batty and Lee Boyer, they've got a lot of money they could

they could fish all day every day and not worry about a single energy bill they could they could have their own fishing lake

and that's just as interesting because you know people have got to fill their days you know they retire at 35 they do

yeah Gareth Barry millionaire multi-millionaire, made 600 appearances. But, I mean, he's not pundity. What's he doing? What's he doing? So, yeah.

So as we come to the close of Sports On, we'll be back very soon indeed. But in the Luke and Pete show, we basically do two things, Anthony. We basically do, things anthony we basically do um on a thursday we get people to um email in with photographs of batteries they've found in their remote controls um and we are looking for the rarest uh batteries with the names we haven't covered before and they go on the battery kind of hall of fame they go they go in the uh

you know you you get a gold star and your battery gets in the hall of him so it's basically when you go in a hotel first things first well i mean after you've done a shit another one yeah you open up you open up the uh you open up the air conditioning remote control and you see what batteries are in there um and so after the break, we're going to be going through the batteries that people have sent in this week. But before, I thought we'd basically just find out a little bit about what your week's been going like, some new stories you might have been excited by.

Did you see this morning there was the Royal Blood nonsense? I did, yeah. What were they expecting? I don't know. So the band Royal Blood from Portsmouth, I want to say, certainly on the south coast, they are... They're just the... Who did...

Who are the duo in America? The Black Keys. They sound like the Black Keys, but a bit more grungy. And they basically... They were doing a Radio 1 weekender with just a load of kids because that's Radio 1's um uh kind of um mo they they serve teenagers and uh nobody was into their music when they came on the stage because they're you know i mean they are they're not very good uh in like in in some ways um and

they got very upset said this is rock and roll why are you jumping around there's nothing worse than a band berating a crowd for not jumping around give us something to jump around with yeah exactly and um you know their music sounds like you know it it's just stock music like you'd get if you were going on sound audio soundtrack yeah you were just going on like audio stock network or whatever and just looking for heavy metal to go under your like american football highlights just be like oh epidemic sound it's epidemic sound yeah like if if no one cheers because your american football soundtrack doesn't get the get the the cheers you think it deserves then like i'm sorry but just try making better music um they they they obviously are trying to court controversy because like it was what when

were they on they weren't headlining they were like three before their headliners no they were so they were just like they were in between nile horan and lewis capaldi i believe exactly what were they expecting you know mid-afternoon it's like and also this i didn't didn't sound like there was that many people at the gig and it was like loud open um big open space just do your set and piss off lads like but you know obviously everyone's talking about them so you know maybe like the stock the stock audio libraries of this world are gonna get more tracks but i watched um lewis capaldi headline and he had a massive cough yeah so like every now he'd sing for a bit and then he'd like cough off mic like a sort of end of the pier singer it's like this is just this is an awful weekend

it's a shit weekend isn't that what who's who sang isn't She Lovely? Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder. He would sort of play the piano and then jump to the microphone, wouldn't he? And he'd do a little dance with his head. But like, so maybe it's just that kind of, I'm just doing big. Maybe he looks like a lad who could absolutely hock up something horrible. He looks, he looks, he firstly, he looks great and he's fantastic, but he does look like he wouldn't be out of place in the, in Ali Pali in the 80s, just with Bristow, just fighting on the hockey for that first 180 of the evening.

It's like fantastic that singers don't have to look like, like pop star looks anymore. 1975, first time I'd watched watched them like do a live set i mean jesus like the guy you know smoking as if he's cool and drinking a bottle of red wine like jesus mate it's like the libertines on diet coke it's like absolutely ridiculous like this i don't want to feel old but the standard is dire of music coming through. Honestly. If you've ever heard my massive complaining about Youngblood, that lad who spits and takes the top off and wears a dress sometimes and goes, let's talk about our feelings.

It's all just a pastiche of a pastiche of a pastiche. I've got massive newfound respect for Daphne and Celeste. When they went to Reading Festival in, like, the year, I want to say 2000, they got bottled off stage. They didn't stop their act. They were singing, No. And, you know, there was piss raining down on them.

And you look at the other acts on the stage that day. There was, like, Slipknot. Like, you know they were it was it was a heavy heavy like gay and day at that festival at reading like royal blood they should take a lesson from daphne and celeste if you're if you're in the wrong genre like just embrace it do your set enjoy that no one understands what you're doing i've done plenty of stand-up gigs like that no one understands what i'm doing it doesn't matter have i got paid no still i've got paid but leave the stage yeah exactly no one's getting paid well not high not high because you will get hit by

bottle of red wine yeah um so anthony you brought a little you brought a little new story to uh to our attention yeah i did um actually you you loads, actually. Which one are you going to choose? Oh, I've got a few. You can choose two. The titles are great. The first is just my favourite. Big fan of cheese rolling. It's a sport that only happens once every year.

And it's a bit like, recently, the head of the ICC for cricket or, no, somebody in cricket said, oh, they should limit tests to just one a year, test matches, because, you know, it'd be better for all of the T20 franchises. Yeah, but then it would become like cheese rolling. You just have it. It would just be like one paragraph in an American website about the cheese rolling happened. And isn't that quaint and funny?

So anyway, the cheese rolling happened this weekend and a woman won it, but she was knocked unconscious in the process of winning it. So if you've ever seen cheese rolling, basically everyone stands at the top of a hill in Gloucestershire, Cooper's Hill, I believe it's called.

It's a very steep hill, like Tour de France steep. It's very steep. It's so steep. It's so steep. And tour de france it's very steep and so steep it's so steep and they they hurl a cheese down or you know a wheel of cheese it's got some proper legs that cheese and then everyone chases it and the first person down the hill to get that cheese wins and this woman so if you watch the video of this year's cheese rolling it was an absolute i mean so some somebody took three steps down the hill tripped over and then like just head over hills for the rest of the time rolling down

and they were winning they were winning they were they were there and they wouldn't have known anything about whether they were winning or not but yeah with it just as like maybe five meters to go this woman who won it overtook them and then just as she passed this spinning human on the floor she stacked it face forward and just knocked herself out on her forehead on the ground and then tumbled over the line and won and it's like you don't even get a knockout that wins in boxing nobody in boxing gets knocked out well i think it's the only sport when you can win without realizing yeah it's because so i guess that i thought you had to gain access to the cheese before you won the race yeah but it just seems like if you're first down the hill yeah um you seem to gain you just get given the

cheese you're the cheese rolling winner. The cheese is an afterthought, yeah. Exactly. So why don't you just get rid of the cheese and it's the first one down the hill? Then people can start to sort of pace themselves. Yeah. They're not staring at... If you're staring at a cheese,

trying to figure out what that cheese is up to, you're going to lose your footing. You're going to lose where you are. You're going to lose... You're going to be flying via instruments rather than spatial awareness as a plane man. You could mix up what's being thrown down every year. You could throw a bowling ball down.

You could throw a 4x4 just tumbling down the hill. Yeah, you could. A slinky would be good. That would be a bit slower. Slinky would be like a pace car, wouldn't it? It just can't bring down a little bit. Yeah, slinky for maybe the children, like just a slower, or the veterans, a slower paced race.

But yeah, I'd like to do it one day, the old cheese rolling. But it would be terrifying. Like you'd, I mean, there's a good chance you'd break bones. But you could say you've done cheese rolling exactly but i mean you could say you've done it and just stay at the back i mean it only seems is it like the marathon do you have to like sign up for it could you not just stay at the back and go well i've done it i'm not an idiot what am i gonna win a fucking roll of fucking wheel of cheese yeah i'm not sure you can get sponsorship yeah i'm running cheese rolling for marie curie

it just seems like there's not that many people taking part when it's such a famous event and it's something that you know dickheads would absolutely love but what what drugs could you take to enhance it would be like downers wouldn't it it'd be like valium it'd be like muscle relaxants yeah you could go down like a like a guy fox just everyone on ketamine just itching their way down the hill just not knowing where they are like little crabs yeah exactly you just need something to chill yourself out painkillers this just need loads of painkillers yeah painkillers would be good everyone breaks bones i'd like i like i like a good um a good regional uh or local sport that no one else has heard of like road bowling in ireland uh that's

a good one where it's kind of like when you were did you ever used to play football golf when you've just got a football and you're like walking with your mates back from the park and basically you've got to kick the football in as few shots as it can to wherever, like a kilometre ahead. They do that with just bowling in Ireland along the roads. And, you know, great sport. I'd like to just go around the world trying out these sports that no one's ever done, apart from the people that are there. Yeah, what about that sexy one in Italy that I absolutely love

it's like a sexy rugby football one and everyone's roided up and they look really sexy yeah yeah yeah have you seen that one it's like a sort of

medieval one isn't it yeah five a side yeah sandy five a side kids covered in mud yeah

sandy yeah and everyone's grubby and sexy and oily and they're beating the absolute daylights out of each other yeah Yeah. It's a sandy, yeah. And everyone's grubby and sexy and oily. And they're beating the absolute daylights out of each other. Yeah, there's no sort of, I've watched a game of that and there's no like, I don't know what the tactics are

because you're, I think you're beating each other up until there's like a hole in the defence and then you can get the ball through. But it's like a, yeah, it's a throwback to the Florence sort of, you renaissance era yeah when um sport like at the end of the day in sport it didn't mind you didn't mind if someone died like it was okay life was quite cheap if someone died it'd be like oh god what a shame anyway same again next year lads anyway look if you're to play the kinkiest sport in the world,

I mean, this is what you get, honestly. Just the last, the other story was just this elderly woman who has been forced to tears because her neighbours put a big fence up in front of her front window and she can't see out anymore. It's just a big fence. It's the pictures of where somebody from the mirror or whoever's taking the picture uh apparently robert suck cliff from reach which is presumably some kind of ap uh agency um they've taken a picture of her and she's on her like and she's just what like about she's got all her clothes on the back of the sofa

and it's like and he's made her cry he's made her cry for the picture because she's really upset because Sharon feels like the tall fence makes her feel

as if she's living in a prison I mean it is a tall fence but I mean you're allowed to put up I mean

it doesn't look particularly that I mean it doesn't look that tall it looks like a normal so i'm looking outside my window now i reckon that fence is about the same size yeah and i'm not crying about it yeah i i always i do feel slightly sorry for her so so her neighbor's justification was um her two-year-old starting to walk around and she's worried the two-year-old might go out right into the road so they put up a fence but yeah like yeah you can get trellising these days that does the job doesn't it see through

i guess does it stop your name yeah exactly the child's two unless it's this monster yeah monster massive six-foot child stalking about the place in In which case, in which case there's elderly ladies lucky. Look who's talking. Yeah, so. Not look who's talking. What's the film? Ghostbusters.

When did the baby get big? Was it Ghostbusters? No, it was, it was. No, it was the step off man. It was Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. Honey, I Blew Up the Kid.

Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. The second one. Yes, it's that kid. But yeah, it's a shame. And you could, could you not just poke, if you really wanted to see

what was going on on the other side of the fence, what are the legalities of just poking through a little eye-sized glory hole? Fair to look at. Just like they have in prison. Yeah, just have a little look out. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And a phone, if you want to phone them.

A little clear perspex glass yeah i mean you know just just take take that fence down and put your kid on a lead that extends from your back garden on like a hook on your wall and it's one of those extender leads that dogs have that if you're a lucky dog yeah that gets to have a bit more freedom and uh or a bungee rope so it can run out but as soon as it gets towards the road it snaps back again it will be propelled back down a bit you know give them a bit give a bit of cheese as a lure like yeah she's rolling the uh i would say that like back in the day i'm fairly certain my mam had um a lead for me. You know, like a bride.

Is it a bridal, you call it, or whatever? Yeah. You never see them anymore. Kids, man. Like, reins, that's it. Have you ever considered putting your beds on reins? No. No.

They'd cut my face off. No. I just tell them. I just sort of think that it's just not allowed anymore. Some things, like bad diet, not allowing them to drink water, and rains, just bad looks for parents these days. You've got to be, and you've got to fill their weekends with activities. Like when I was a kid, my dad would pick us up on his crossbar on his bike,

both of us, and drunkenly, after going to the Navy Club, drunkenly ride us to my nan's on the crossbar of his bike both of us and and drunkenly after going to the navy club drunkenly ride us to my nans on the crossbar of his bike through town in front of traffic um just absolute my feet dangling in the spokes and that was our kind of uh entertainment for the day we go and see my nan but there was nothing else nothing else to do what's wrong with exercise what's wrong with running to the chippy? Exactly. Running to the chippy. Yeah, exactly. That's exercise, for goodness sake.

Let children do that. Running from the belt. Yeah. Running from the belt. The belt. Getting out of the way of corporal punishment. Yeah. Oi, oi, oi.

Well, you can't treat kids like you used to. And we'll be back in a mercifully short time with some battery brands because that's what we do on a Thursday on the Look and Pete show we're back

with the Look and Pete show I'm Pete Donaldson joined by Anthony Richardson from the excellent stack podcast Sports Horn fucking listen to it it's fucking good

really funny stuff so every week on the show people send in their batteries Anthony inexplicably one of our more popular shows wouldn't you believe the Look and Pete show really funny stuff. So every week on the show, people send in their batteries, Anthony. Inexplicably, one of our more popular shows.

Would you believe the look of Pete's show? People send us batteries and it's usually accompanied with an email sort of saying, my wife doesn't know why I'm doing this, but I'm doing it anyway, et cetera, et cetera. Andy has come in with a battery brand. I'll keep this brief.

My wife thinks I'm a weirdo for constantly checking the batteries in our remotes and our two-year-old's toys. Please put a silver lining on my shambles of a marriage with some new player statuses. Keep up the good work, Andy. Zurn, he's come in with, and taking a picture of him, his lovely hands holding a Zurn super heavy duty battery. It's not a new player. It's been submitted twice before. First by Jeremiah on Christmas Day in 2021. So Jeremiah having just a great, just a great time.

Chris has come in with one. Hi, look at Pete. At my girlfriend's stepmoms for a barbecue today. And my six-year-old Rex acquired a rechargeable handheld fan to cool his face while he ate a burger inside was a po-o best 3000 milliamp action uh simple but effective font and design is it a new player i mean uh you haven't got the pictures anthony but i mean the the um uh text work on this battery is something else it's really old called again? It's really old school cool. Pow-O-Best. I'll stick him in the document.

Oh, yeah, go on then. I'd like to see this. There you go. Pow-O-Best. And, yeah, what I like about this is he's rotated the Pow-O-Best battery in the electric fan. And then he's quite gloriously taken a picture of him, his son, the electric fan and then he's quite gloriously taking a picture of him his son the electric fan and the son's burger at the same time and the son is adorable uh chris who actually sent this it was yeah chris um absolutely uh lovely stuff chris and it is a new player anthony it is such a good and also that fence that fence is a good regulation height for a fence.

It is a good regulation height for a kid, especially if he's constantly on Chris's shoulders looking over the top of the fence. Power Best is, it's, if you look at, I'm just looking at their other batteries in their range, Power Best. They do like a mon monochromey color they they just one color across right that's all they that's what they like they don't like going to the printers with more than one color the toner you know will not run out um and they just look yeah they're good for the job

good do goods yeah in comparison charts it looks like they're strong. And, you know, like, they're like the Tesco's own cola of batteries. Yeah. They seem to do a lot of solar phone charges and stuff like that. Yeah. It's good that they're sort of branching out into new products, I suppose. Oh, well. So that's a new player.

Congratulations. Unfortunately, one review on reddit those batteries are garbage at best and dangerous at worst wow well they're a new player so they're in the hall of fame so fuck you redditor honestly reddit man um do you ever get reviews on uh of the exploding head stuff on reddit at all do you ever get a mention yeah reddit people are interesting people yeah we we when we used to work for espn and do premier league previews for them where like well you know it was called how will they line up the show and it was with em5 ankles and it would be like things like liverpool will line up against newcastle in the order they lost their virginity so sadly uh yes sadly uh like daniel storage is on the bench uh and like um uh and like one of the comments on reddit was like if this

from an american like u.s soccer u.s soccer yeah i think because u.s soccer fans in America, they're pretty precious because, you know, they're a minority sport there. So they take themselves very seriously. Whereas, you know, if you're the dominant sport, you can have a laugh about yourself, can't you? But they take themselves very seriously because they're always worried about it being taken away from them and one person wrote if this is what if this is what passes for serious journalistic comment in the uk then then then espn has a lot to answer for and uh we got shit like that all the time people absolutely hated it because it took the piss out of you know oh we used to do stuff taking the piss out of MLS, like their badges and stuff, and then just their team names, like Columbus Crew,

which their badge, do you remember their badge was like three builders? Three builders, yeah. Was one of them doing a salute? I can't remember now. In my brain, I think it feels like one of them was doing a salute. And then like 10 years too late, Columbus Crew decided to change their logo to something really bland and like just normal.

It's like, oh, come on, what happened to your three construction site workers, guys? But yeah, they didn't like that. I just like that, especially when you do anything whimsical. If you do anything where you're having a bit of fun or you're a bit arch or just creative in any way, people don't like it. They like email forwards about Spurs being not very good.

They like stuff. They like Philip Schofield was offered the Spurs job, but he said it would be too embarrassing or something like that. It wouldn't be great for too embarrassing or something like that it would be it would be great for his career or something like that he looked at the fixture list and they weren't playing

against young boys in Europe this year like something like that something like that no that's too that's too good that's too well

written for crying out loud oh yeah bullshit why do people bother anyway let's finish up the

show with one final battery brand hello Lucky Luke and Peculiar Pete. New listener and first-time emailer here with what I hope to be a new player in the battery game. I found this in the bathroom.

Bathroom? No, wait. I found this in the bathroom at my place of employment. I've no idea where it came from, but I choose to believe that it was a gift from God. I mean, what appliance are you taking into the bathroom and leaving a battery behind is the question. It's a big old D cell as well,

like a real girthing lad. Oh, dear. Good to see that Ethan's just washed their hands. You can see the glisten on their skin. His hands are still wet. His hands are still wet. So, man, if you're holding a battery, that is a risk.

You're going to get electrocuted, Ethan, for crying out loud. An alkaline industrial battery. Big, lovely. What a good colour as well. Chunker. The colour of danger. It's the colour of danger. It's the colour of like a caterpillar work boat, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know where you stand with a worker, or a verker, as it might be in Germany. It might be a verker, yeah. I would where you stand with a worker, or a verker, as it might be in Germany. It might be a verker, yeah. I would say, look at the... What do you reckon that's come out of? I reckon it comes out of the... You know that little hand... Not hand spray, but like a thing

that you walk past sometimes in the bathroom and it goes... Yeah. And it sprays... It sprays in the air. Automatic mystifier. What the fuck was that automatic mystifier in the bathroom ethan's just there's just a toilet roll in the sink just under the tap just a massive big toilet roll

are you one of the ethan are you a wet bandit? Or what are they called? Did the... Did the burglaries in Home Alone? Are you about to... Are you allowed to plug that fucking sink and make it all flood everywhere?

Are you... I'm fairly certain... I'm fairly certain you got to do that in Hitman, the video game. Are you Hitman, the video game? With your wet hands? Unbelievable.

Yeah. Ethan, I want to know more i think what's happened in this picture is uh ethan there's uh i think that might be a battery in the hand dryer and ethan's uh before drying his hands he's opened the hand dryer to look at the battery take a quick picture of it then he'll put it back in to dry his hands with yeah yeah exactly oh beautiful well well thank you for that uh ethan and you probably want to know whether your soggy worker is a new player it is a new player congratulations ethan you're going to the battery hall of fame uh your battery is going into the battery daddy which was a it's like a little kind of Amazon purchase from a listener.

Basically, it's just a briefcase with holes for different sized batteries. And daddies can fill their battery daddy with just loads of different kinds of batteries. So they'll always be there if you need them. So this has been the Luke and Pete show with me Pete Donaldson and the wonderful Anthony Richardson from the Stack Podcast Sports Horn
