The Luke and Pete Show - Why is there a bull in a striped shirt?
Episode Date: December 16, 2021Today, Luke and Pete finally manage to stay on topic for long enough to talk about Luke’s trip to Devon, where he played the fruit machine in the arcade. A baffling experience for the wife he has ac...cess to. We then hear about some quality school boy behaviour (which we do not endorse) relating to deodorant flamethrowers and lockerbombs. It's good stuff. Have a story relating to any other behaviour that we don’t endorse? Email hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram @lukeandpeteshow.

It's the return of the Luke and Pete show on Thursday, the 16th, the 16th look more of December.
And let me tell you the picture apropos, the buying of presents, not got any better for old Daddy Donaldson.
No, not done anything.
Not done fuck all, mate.
What are the responsibilities that you've been given?
Well, I mean, having friends and loved ones.
I mean, that's a responsibility enough.
But, like, with the Wi-Fi I have access to,
we have, like, delineated responsibilities each year.
Oh, so you buy presents for certain members of the family?
It's just, like, these are the jobs that need to be done.
Right, okay, prepping Christmas.
Yeah, so at some point after a week or so,
I'll be like, where are we with this?
I need to do this.
Can you do that?
Can you buy this?
It basically just hurts to tell them what to do.
And I do it.
And so if we got to this stage now, the 16th,
and I was not doing it,
I mean, that would never happen because I'm terrified of my wife,
but I would be in big trouble.
Right.
So is the partner you've got access to
not cracking the whip?
Cracking the whip.
I think we've been too busy,
to be honest.
Sure enough.
Well, no, I've been working.
She's been working.
Yeah, we'll get there.
I mean, again,
Sarah always buys better presents than I do.
Are you going to be buying them
for your family, though?
Yes, yeah.
You've got a niece and nephew to worry about.
I'll do my family.
She can do hers.
Sweet beans.
And where will you spend Christmas?
We're not doing Christmas.
We'll do Christmas fucking later.
We'll do Christmas later.
Next Monday will be the first Christmas show,
won't it?
Or Thursday, mate.
Thursday, I think.
The 23rd's our first Christmas show.
Either way, we're hurtling towards it,
and I'm a little bit concerned, that's all.
People won't be surprised to hear your admin's been poor.
Correct.
Is that fair, or is that unfair?
That is a little bit fair.
A little bit fair.
Luke, you last week
spoke about putting together
a Ghostbusters Lego thingamajig.
We're not even being
responsible for Lego at the moment.
It's just come up, isn't it?
No.
Should we say Lego's bad?
Ooh.
Oh, I'd stood on a bit.
I feel like we should
just give a bit of love to...
Duplo.
Stick or bricks.
I was going to say Duplo,
but isn't that a Lego brand?
Oh, it might be, like, for toddlers. I don't think it is, maybe. I was going to say Duplo, but isn't that a Lego brand? Oh, it might be,
like for toddlers.
I don't think it is, maybe.
I don't remember them
sort of like crossing the streams.
I was a big fan of Stickle Bricks.
Yeah, I used to love them.
I mean, it was fun,
easy to do,
but my God,
it didn't make anything
that looked attractive.
Duplo is owned by Lego.
Confirmed.
Did they buy it out?
It's like the Monday Night Wars.
WCW versus WWE. Could be.
Sticker bricks were good. You couldn't really make
anything though, could you? You could make a gun.
Not really. You could make a fucking
right angle sticker brick.
That was it. It was a bit of rubbish, wasn't it?
The thing that is interesting about Lego these days
is that it's all themed now.
Yes. Back in the day you'd get
space Lego, you'd probably get Technics Lego
and everything else was a free-for-all.
Yeah, exactly.
Meccano's not Lego, is it?
It's different.
Meccano was like long bits of metal, wasn't it?
And you'd kind of like screw them into each other.
Yeah, I kind of fear for Meccano, don't you?
What do you mean?
They've missed the boat a little bit.
Because Lego are just dominant.
I mean, Meccano was always one of those things,
it's too hard to build something in Meccano.
To me,
it fell above my pay grade,
really.
Yeah,
it's kind of like,
oh,
look,
you go to the toy shop,
and someone's made a Ferris wheel out of Meccano,
and that was the only thing you ever saw.
Yeah.
And it's too technical for a kid to do,
I think.
But I think maybe people listening,
who are now like engineers,
and very practical people,
or mechanics,
maybe they're like, nah, Meccano was my jam.
Lego was just boring.
But I was talking to him yesterday
and he was sort of saying that he used to have
like a 3D package on his Amiga
and, you know, you'd sort of, you'd approach it
and you'd sort of, you could make anything.
You know, this is the bit of computer software
that made Babylon 5 in the 80s
and Red Dwarf, some parts,
and TV shows that look really good.
It was like CAD-type software.
Yeah, CAD, like 3D design and ray tracing sort of thing.
And you'd sort of set up your lights and stuff
and do animations and things.
And these people who live in massive fucking houses now,
they're the ones who sort of saw it as this kind of open-ended tool
that could realise all of their dreams and stuff.
And so they work really hard.
And same with computer programmers.
They tap away and they spend days and days teaching themselves this kind of discipline.
And you and I are just like, I want to play Jet Set Willy.
I've made a cock and a balls.
Yeah.
It is just, we just went, cock and balls,
and then just walked like just
put another disc in
what's he doing now
this geezer
what
you've had that
well yeah
I mean
same thing to me
he's just made a cock on balls
but so yeah
so he just sort of goes
I can see the difference
between people
who have a bit of drive
and a bit of dream
and a bit of ambition
yeah
compared to us
who go
cock on balls
I never
I never
yeah
I never really
ever remember,
ever,
ever,
ever,
ever thinking deeply about what I wanted to do for a job.
No.
Ever.
Did you,
what did you get out of that little computer?
Remember like,
it was so space age,
you sort of answer a lot of questions,
and then they put the responses into a computer,
and just give you a random job.
I don't think they even fucking ended it in the computer.
Probably not.
No.
I had a, we had a guy, librarian, I got librarian. Did you don't think they even fucking ended it in the computer. Probably not. No. I had a,
we had a guy.
Librarian.
I got librarian.
Did you really?
Yeah,
Mr. fucking admin,
yeah.
That's the shittest
fucking job ever for you.
I put the Tintins
in the reference library again.
And you can't not talk.
And I can't not talk,
yeah.
I've burned all
the microfiches.
I don't remember having,
oh,
microfiche was a vibe,
do you remember that?
Yeah.
I've never used
one of those machines,
I'd bloody love to though. I'm surprised you haven't bought one, V-Bay or something in your garage. Oh, microfiche was a vibe. Do you remember that? Yeah. I've never used one of those machines. I'd bloody love to, though.
I'm surprised you haven't bought one.
eBay or something in your garage.
Oh, I should.
Yeah.
If I ever get invited to your shed
and it's not got a microfiche in it,
I'll be fucking pissed off.
I don't remember what I got out of the computer
back in the 90s,
but I do remember a guy coming to the class
and he sat down with every one of us
and he said to me that...
I think he said something really...
At the time, it didn't really register, but looking back on it of us and he said to me I think he said something really at the time didn't really register
but looking back on it
the way he said it
I think he said something
like the best you can hope for
is as a policeman
the best you can
that's a good job
that's solid
that's an upgrade
on what you've got now mate
I don't want to be a policeman
why?
you've got tall enough
aren't policemen getting taller?
it's not about that
aren't police getting blonder?
you can't just walk into
a police station
and they go
he's tall
get him in
look you do an interview with this they go he's tall get him in.
Look.
You do an interview with
this fucking
murderer.
He's over six
foot.
Right.
Did you do
that crime?
I'd love the
idea if Cressida
Dick right gave
a press conference
tomorrow about all
the problems in
the Met Police
and went what's
happened is it's
come to light that
we've only been hiring people based on their height.
And it turns out not all tall people can be trusted.
And that's it.
On the other hand, we don't have anyone under six foot, which is physically impressive.
Exactly.
We've got specialised dolls now.
Very tall dolls.
Do you remember being told that you had to be a certain height to be a police officer?
Why was that such a weird thing?
I don't know. Why do people talk about that so much? Well, because you have to be kind of height to be a police officer why was that such a weird thing I don't know
why do people talk
about that so much
because you have to
be kind of physically
imposing I suppose
haven't you
because you didn't
have mace
are you allowed
mace here
pepper spray
the old zip zappers
or tasers
none of the tasers
yeah
I remember
during that video
we watched of
that chief constable
agreeing to be tasered
to show that it was
quite safe
it's a lovely
I do like the way that, did you see that guy?
It was a clip that was going around all over the gaff
where this drugged up maniac, like muscular kind of,
like it sounded a bit Essex-y,
was just trying to fight a man in his house sort of thing.
He was kind of in the front garden.
You will have seen it, front garden.
And he was just sort of like bringing the fuck out of this guy's front door.
And this woman's filming it
and the guy's trying
to sort of remonstrate
and going,
what is your fucking problem?
He's going,
I'll fucking kill you.
He's just getting really,
really angry.
And then the police,
but he's punched,
it's like kind of
a plastic UPVC door
and he's punched it through
but it's kind of
done like a flap.
So the glass is like
on a flap
and someone took a screenshot
of the block outside
the window
and says
worst advent calendar ever
and then the police
end up turning up
and when you get tasered
you're just stiff as a board
and you just go down
absolutely down
like a big timber
Is it satisfying
to watch him be tasered?
Well it is for a bit
but then he manages
he's only got his bum out
he's only got his bum out
he moons the policeman then he gets tas but then he manages to... He's only got his bum out. He's only got his bum out.
He moons the policeman, then he gets tears,
and then he just gets up immediately because they don't manage to sort of restrain him
or get him in handcuffs,
and he just climbs over a fence.
On one level, is it impressive
that he's managed to stove in a new PVC door
with just his bare hands?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Very much so.
I just didn't realise you could just push on one
and it just opens up like that.
Because I've got a UPVC front door,
and I've thought of it, I think of it as solid.
Yeah, I'll tell you what you shouldn't
think of, the locks on them. Good God.
Like, one of those kind of
load-bearing spanners,
they just take it off in seconds and they're in.
They're in! Really? Yeah, it's really easy
to get in those locks, those little kind of
locks that are like up and down kind of thing.
No, but my one does all the locks up and down the door.
Yeah, but I think the...
So it's got like five locks in total.
Yeah, but I think if you just take the central column and just snap it,
you can just open it up.
How do you know this?
What?
How do you know this?
Saw a guy on the telly do it.
Lock-picking lawyer.
Lock-picking lawyer, no.
He's not a brute force, man.
Well, what front door have you got?
Lockpicking lawyer's an artist, by the way.
He is an artist.
What have you got as a front door?
I'm going to kick the fuck out of this UPVC window.
Yeah.
I've got one of those old school yellow ones.
I mean, it's not better, but my cabin has only got one of those shitty locks.
I'm worried.
If people want to get in, they're going to get in, aren't they?
I'm going to get my microfiches.
If people want to get in, they're going to get in, aren't they? They're going to get my microfiches. If people want to get in,
they're going to get in, aren't they?
Yeah, exactly.
There's nothing much you can do about it.
Yeah, but I'd like to tell anyone who's listening,
I've got a fucking sword, mate,
so that'll go right in you.
And it's blunt,
so it'll hurt more when it shoves you with it.
And I've done a wee on it.
What you should do is,
if someone does break into your shed
and you're in there,
just look at them, stare them deeply in the eyes,
and just wet yourself.
So they just think,
I don't know what I'm dealing with here.
With an erection.
Yeah.
Because they're going to think,
this is not the path of least resistance.
This is a maniac.
Pete, when I was away on holiday,
I didn't tell you, or I didn't tell our listeners,
I went to Devon.
Have you ever been to Devon?
Yes. Oh, I'm surprised to hear you say that why you said that very very enthusiastic yes
what where did you go uh let's have a look i'm gonna type in devon into google i've been to
torquay oh cool i liked it in torquay yeah i liked it exit uh we stopped the next ever a bit yeah
torquay sort of area nice beautiful yeah torqu Yeah. Torquay, I thought Torquay
was going to be like
a southern version
of Blackpool,
which I do not,
I don't rate Blackpool.
No,
I've never been to Blackpool,
but yeah,
Torquay's beautiful,
that kind of,
and that bit,
has it got that big bridge
that goes up and down?
Maybe.
I'm fairly certain.
I didn't see that,
but I,
so we went to Torquay
because it was our
wedding anniversary as well.
We wanted to go to
a nice restaurant
and there's one we like
to look of in Torquay, right?
It's called The Elephant.
Very nice.
We got there quite early, and it's obviously winter,
and it was dark, and nothing was open,
apart from, Donaldson, the amusement arcade.
Oh, lovely.
Ask me if my wife I have access to and I
spent 45 minutes playing the bullseye fruit machine.
Why the bullseye fruit machine?
I thought of things.
It wasn't like a little kind of grabby machine,
a little UFO catcher.
We did that as well.
Every time you put the money in, it goes,
take your time.
It does.
Take your time.
Take your time.
Obviously, my wife had no idea what bullseye was.
What is this?
She's like, asking a load of really legitimate
and fair questions.
She's like, why is there a bull dressed in a striped shirt all over this? She's like, asking a load of really legitimate and fair questions.
Like, why is there a bull dressed in a striped shirt all over this?
Why does someone keep telling me to take my time?
I could never figure out why.
Who's the commentator, the darts commentator? Tony.
Tony.
Yeah.
Like, Bully was kind of based on him a bit.
I'm not really sure.
I thought it was his.
He's just based on the bot.
His, like, furry version of himself.
Like, he was into furry stuff.
No, no.
He said,
I don't know why you made me
into a lovely bull.
No, it's just based on the bullseye,
isn't it?
The bull.
Yeah, I know.
They call it the bull.
But they're based...
I think it looked too much
like the commentator, Tony.
I don't...
Do you know what?
Now you mention it,
I can see what you mean.
But for the wife I have access to,
it was a baffling experience, right?
Because one, they don't have fruit machines in America.
So it's already weird.
Yeah, okay.
They have them in casinos and stuff,
and they're completely different.
Yes.
These mechanical kind of things where...
You know, for example, when you play a fruit machine,
say you get a higher or lower mechanism
to win like three quid,
it knows what number it's given you.
So it's not like... If it's higher or lower out of a 12 three quid. It knows what number it's given you. So it's not like,
if it's higher or lower out of a 12
and you've got a two,
it isn't the case that you're...
It's not going to, yeah.
If it wants to give you a one,
it's going to give you a fucking one.
It's going to be annoying.
And it does do that.
But to someone who's not a versed,
someone who's not versed in fruit machines,
it's kind of like,
why are you doing this?
Yeah.
It's got a completely,
it's a category definition.
But the payout of fruit machines is It's kind of like, why are you doing this? Yeah. It's got a completely, it's a category definition. But the payout of fruit machines
is actually quite high.
Like,
you win more than you lose.
But the problem is,
it's the amount of money you win.
And also,
it's,
obviously,
it's highly controlled
and you can turn up
how successful you can be
and turn it down
in the innards of the machine.
But they pay out more often than not.
But it's,
because they pay out so much, you just come back and you just come back and you lose all your money because you just come back. But do pay out more often than not. But because they pay out so much,
you just come back
and you just come back
and you lose all your money
because you just come back.
But do you know what I thought about?
So we put 40 quid in there
and we got 45 quid out.
Right, fine, fine.
And they all come out
and pound coins,
which is fucking annoying.
But anyway,
what I was thinking was,
as a kid,
when I went to the pub or whatever
and you play a bit of a freak machine,
it was a kind of thing
that was in pubs
and you just do it, right?
You don't get any fun.
It's like playing pool or whatever.
And sometimes you win,
it'd be brilliant
and sometimes you wouldn't.
Now I'm older,
I've got a little bit more money.
If I move to a big old house,
I might get a fruit machine
because they're probably
not that expensive.
Well, no, they're not.
And you can open one,
you can play it as much as you want
because it'd be fun.
If you win, it doesn't matter.
If you don't win,
it doesn't matter
because you own it.
That's what I was thinking.
Why would you want that?
And I said to the wife I have access to in the car afterwards, I might get a fruit machine.'t matter because you own it. That's what I was thinking. Why would you want that? Yeah, but like...
And I said to the wife
I have access to in the car afterwards,
I might get a fruit machine.
She said, you're not doing that.
Like fucking Lemmy.
What's wrong with you?
Would you not...
I thought you'd be up for one of those.
No, because they're not fun to play.
They're fun because you win the money.
I think they are fun.
I think they're interesting.
Just fucking get yourself
a little flashing LED light
and jam it in your eyes.
I don't know.
Like something to look at isn't it
yeah Donkey Kong
arcade machine instead
well I've always been
against arcade machines
in homes
because I find them
I just find them a
bit tedious
it's just a bit like
I love Pac-Man
it's always like a
shit game
and I suppose it
takes up a lot of
space and it's only
one game
yeah but then
you've got these
new ones that are
kind of just
main machines that
will play anything and I find them new ones that are kind of just main machines that will play anything.
And I find them quite generic
and quite kind of cheap looking
and a bit rubbish.
But there's a little space in our front room
and I go,
get a little Chase HQ cab in there.
What's that?
With the flashing lights on top.
Do you have a Chase HQ?
No.
It was a video game that involved
two policemen in a car.
It was a little bit like Miami Vice
and you'd be chasing terrorists,
and to take them down,
you'd just have to ram into the back of them.
I'm just looking at the Wikipedia entry.
Each criminal would have a different car
that you'd have to chase after.
Number one, in stage number one,
Ralph was the Idaho slasher
and he drove a Lotus Esprit.
Nice car.
So it's like OutRun.
It looks like OutRun.
OutRun, but you've got to ram the cars.
You've got to ram the perps off the road effectively.
Number two, car lost at New York Armed Robber.
He drives a yellow Lamborghini Countach.
What was the first one called?
Ralph the Idaho slasher.
So there's a murderer on the loose,
the Idaho slasher, and he's driving murderer on the loose, the Idaho Slasher,
and he's driving an Esprit.
Yeah.
A lot of Esprit.
Carlos, the New Yorker,
armed robber.
That was stage two.
That's a bit racial profiling
right there.
What do you mean?
Calling him Carlos.
What do you mean?
Carlos, the new armed robber?
Yeah.
Carlos?
Well, they've given him
like an Hispanic name.
Yeah, but armed robber,
are they good at armed robber?
Is that the reputation?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Massively. No. Wait until you get to the I'm just saying, it's criminal. Oh yeah, massively.
No, wait until you get to the fifth one.
I don't want to.
Number three, Chicago Pushers.
They're driving a silver Porsche.
That's fair.
They're into drug dealing.
That kind of fits, yeah.
Famously lucrative.
Now, if I was the LA kidnapper,
I don't know what the boot space is in a Ferrari 288 GTR.
It's not conducive.
It's a successful kidnapping.
I think it's minimal, to be honest.
He must have them strapped to the roof.
Yeah.
And finally for now, final stage boss,
the Eastern Bloc spy in a red Porsche.
Eastern Bloc spy.
The Eastern Bloc spy.
They haven't even tried there.
No.
They've said, you know what?
It's a Friday afternoon.
I cannot be bothered
to research
what someone from that part
of the world would be called
so we just have to call them
the Eastern Block Spy
yeah
and at the start of every level
a little voice
even on the lowly
Spectrum 8-bit version
goes
let's go Mr Driver
I love the voices
you used to get
in those old computer games
let's go Mr Driver
why do they find it so hard to do the voices what used to get in those old computer games let's go Mr Driver why do they find it
so hard to do the voices
what do you mean
it always sounds
really distorted
limited space
limited compression
because I remember
I can't remember
the name of the game
exactly
it was like a
Formula 1 type game
and the only voice
you'd ever get
was a really
distorted woman
going
prepare to qualify
and then
before the race itself,
prepare to race.
Oh, nice.
It's really reminding me of that.
Chase HQ 2 as well.
There was a sequel, by the way.
Oh yeah, there was.
Yeah, I don't think I really played that,
to be honest.
It was 2007.
I mean, I'm not having that.
Is it?
Yeah, 2007.
Good God.
Did the arcade one have a steering wheel and a seat?
Not only that,
it had little lights.
When the chase was on, the little lights would... You're not only that it had little lights when the
chase was on
the little lights
would
you're not having that
in your living room
that is not the most
obnoxious arcade game
you could get as well
so I was trying to
watch the telly
I'm like
I'm chasing the
there's pushers
I'm chasing the
L.A. Strangler
I know you don't
like me playing this
but I think you
failed to consider
there's a kidnapper
on the loose
we are at
cold war
he's got a Ferrari
he's got a Ferrari.
He's got a Ferrari.
Anyway, let's capture some criminals ourselves in the ad break.
And then when we come back, we'll do some of your battery brands and a couple of your emails as well.
Didn't even get a chance to talk about Devon,
but that's how this show goes sometimes.
See you in a minute.
We're back with the Luke and Pete show.
And since it is a Thursday, since we are heading towards a weekend,
we're going to celebrate by giving you some battery brands.
Batteries.
Do you want to do the names and I'll do the search?
Yes, please, because I'm never logged in.
Wait a second for me to log in.
I'm just going to do the email, aren't I?
Because we've got emails now where they talk about them.
I'm up against the clock, though, aren't I?
As soon as you start it, I've got to be ready.
Don't you worry, mate. I can feel I'm a pro. I'm ready now. Stephen Goossens't I? Right. As you start it, I've got to be ready. Don't you worry, mate.
I can feel I'm a pro.
I'm ready now.
Stephen Goossens.
Hello, Stephen Goossens.
Hi, guys.
Long time listener and first time emailer.
Hoping to enter the family
steady with a new brand.
Whatever you do at Christmas
is up to you, Steve.
Enter the family
with a new brand of batteries.
I came across this battery,
which I believe and hope
is a new player.
The HEMA
Alkaline battery.
Yours truly, Steve Goossens.
Alright, Steve, and I am absolutely
delighted to tell you
that according to our email inbox
which goes back several years,
HEMA Alkaline is a new player.
Oh, round of applause, Steve and Goossens.
A lovely pre-Christmas treat from the Steve's Day.
You're in.
Well done, Steve-o.
He's into number two.
Jimmy 2 Da B on Twitter, I believe.
He does it.
Jimmy 2 Da B admins all of, completely voluntarily,
admins all the Luke's game stuff.
Oh, God, he's good.
He posts the spreadsheets.
He posts the results.
He's a big football ramble legend, so good on him.
Good man.
Morning, lovely.
I mean, I should technically hate him
because he just
he just basically puts it
in a stark contrast
my
pulls it into sharp focus
my terrible performance
in Luke's game
yeah
Morning Lovelies
in buying a new doorbell this week
I've discovered a new to me
but I suspect not to everyone else
battery brand
here we go
move your little caster
so I can read it
golden power
power P
plus US
echo totals
triple A
there's a lot to unpack
in that one
I can
this is a tough one
to search
yeah
but actually
let me just go
and drop this in
I don't think
this is a new player
and the reason I don't think
it's a new player
is because
was this James
who sent this in
yeah Jimmy
Joshua Bavington sent these in on November 17th oh mate don't think it's a new player is because was this james who sent this yeah jimmy jimmy joshua
bavington oh bathers sent these in on november 17th oh mate and he found them in a please say
doorbell in some some of his kids toys ah it's like playing with the doorbell yeah i want to
know if it was the same product it could be i don't think it is no i don't think it is so um
but what i would say is joshua bton, lovely hands and fingers in his photo.
A piggy bank?
Oh, right, okay.
Can I get a cuticle read?
No, because it's the palm of his hand, sadly,
so I can't.
All right.
Well, finally for now,
Dave Flintoff has got in touch.
That's Toshiba,
aka Toshiba Dave.
Whoa, I've met Toshiba Dave.
I've met him as well.
He's nice.
Bloody good lad.
Yeah, long time listener,
first time emailer with a potential new battery brand.
Sorting through my parents' attic,
I came across an old
Lego Space monorail set.
Wow.
Dating back to the late 80s.
Ownership of which
is currently being debated
with my brother.
I bet.
That's a big bone of contention.
There's a battery still inside
and it's a classic
Tandy NSL Extra Life.
Now, Tandy was a big high street kind of Maplins.
You could get like an electronic kit.
I know what Tandy is, mate.
You could buy a fuse.
You could buy a home hi-fi system
if you want to pay over the odds.
Why did they perish ahead of Maplins perishing?
I don't know.
If it's in the middle of the green shopping centre
in Hartlepool,
because they had a very difficult window situation
and one of them would always get smashed
by hoodlums
and they could never
get the bloody thing fixed
very quickly
because the window
was such an odd shape.
What was the name?
It was like a bare window
in a shopping centre.
What was the name
of the shopping centre?
Middleton Grange.
Is it a good one?
Is it still there?
It's still there.
Saw a grot bag there once.
Oh, nice.
Nice.
Yeah.
Michaela Strachan and the much maligned Des Barnes from Coronation there it's still there so i got bags there once oh nice nice yeah i'm a killer stratton stratton

Philip Middlemiss
that's who it was

as Coronation Street
former regular.
Cool.
That's his status.
Toshiba Dave.
Toshiba Dave,
we will keep you waiting
no longer.
Tandy NSL Extra Life,
Lukey.
New player.
New player?
What?
Congratulations, Dave.
Tandy's as old as the hills.
No one's sent them in
so they are a new player.
Tandy NSL Extra Life,
not had them before.
Well done to you, Dave.
Keep up the good work
at electronics manufacturer Toshiba.
Yeah, I mean, Toshiba.
Let us know what batteries go inside the Toshiba...
Remotes.
Remotes, please.
Yeah, we'd love to know that.
So listen, this time next week,
I think we'll be doing a Christmas themed show,
but I'm sure we can find time for more battery brands.
In fact, it's probably a good time for it
because people will be having all sorts of electronic goods,
won't they?
Correct.
All right, cool.
So thank you very much for contributing to that.
Peter, do you want to do an email?
I do.
I do want to do an email.
Then fucking do one.
I fucking will.
Elliot J.
Yo, Elliot.
A very good afternoon to the link.
Pete, a recent talk of deodorant can flamethrowers.
Sorry to interrupt
sorry
you know there's a bit in mid-morning matters
with Alan Partridge
where he's lining up all the callers
and he goes through them all
and he goes
and we'll have Adam
and we'll have Jonathan
and after that Lucian
actually no I don't want to talk to someone called Lucian
I feel weirdly a bit like that about an Elliot
why Elliot?
I don't really like it as much as a name.
What have we got a problem?
Elliot Ness.
Elliot from E.T.
All the best Elliot's.
They're the only two Elliot's I can think of, yeah.
T.S. Elliot.
Doesn't count.
Who's the blogger who did Creatures Great and Small?
Oh.
James Herriot.
James Herriot.
Shut up, Donaldson.
Right.
Very good afternoon to the Luke and Pete.
Recent talk of deodorant can flamethrowers
reminded me of a trend at my well-to-do secondary school
in Cambridge for locker bombing.
Other kids' sports lockers.
The old sports lockers in the changing room
were metal-sided and backed,
but had a wooden door with a hook
so you could place your own personal lock
to ensure nobody could pinch your sports kit. The hole meant it was possible to squirt deodorant usually links in the said hole
drop a match in and whoosh the whole thing would light up and make a satisfying bang you should not
be doing i mean that is it's a very i mean it's arson isn't it it's just i've changed my mind i
like elliot i like elliot also a serious although a serious fire risk for the most part. Not much was done about this until one day the six farmers decided to spray six entire Lynx cans into a single locker.
This is the schoolboy natural conclusion thing.
My God, they said it couldn't be done.
And not only was the bang heard across the road, but it blew the wooden locker door clean off its hinges,
singed all the sports kit inside and even burnt the culprit's eyebrows mostly off.
This prompted a redesign of the
boys' locker room and a ban on aerosol
deodorants that lasted until I left
five years later. Imagine the smell of it
as well.
It smells so bad. Hot Java.
Hot Lynx Java. I was a Java man.
Were you a Java man? Yeah.
I hated Africa. I bought
some recently. Africa was like, I. I hated Africa. I bought some recently.
Africa was like,
I used to get sometimes,
I think Java and Africa,
the colours look similar,
and I used to sometimes
be bought Africa for birthday
or Christmas,
and it really annoyed me
because I didn't like the smell of it.
I like Java.
They do like...
Spice was really bad as well.
Spice, yes, okay, yeah.
I like spice.
I'm trying to find the...
There's been a restaurant,
I can't find what different kind of
flavours of link
still exist
yeah
they want to email
Unilever
I don't want to do that
I just want to know
what different ones
you got
this is an amazing
schoolboy behaviour
isn't it
we didn't really
have lockers
we did have lockers
but no one really
used them
I've never been
given it
we had drawers
remember drawers
that's a junior school
though
yeah I know
but that's all
we were allowed
so in some of the corridors,
some of the buildings at my senior school,
they were lockers.
They did have lockers.
Did you not have them?
No, I don't think, no.
Look, we were protected by the Lord.
It was Catholic school.
I can remember in about year 10,
so the fourth year of senior school,
my friend, and I don't know why,
but this has just never come up before.
It turned out for the last four years
he had been carrying
his books for every
single lesson in
every day in his bag
whether he had the class
or not
right
and people were like
why are you doing that
he's like well
doesn't everyone do that
well no
no just pick
just see what you've got today
and bring in the right books
absolute back breaking stuff
but he never really
made the connection
but I bet he never
forgot a book
well no he probably didn't he joined the navy anyway didn't need didn't need the books didn't need them no Absolute back-breaking stuff. But he had already made the connection. But I bet he never forgot a book.
Well, no, he probably didn't.
He's on the Navy anyway.
Didn't need the books.
Didn't need them.
No.
Thank you for that, Elliot.
That's great.
I don't really know of anyone else.
I mean, I told you about my friend who did a German exchange and did a deodorant flamethrower and set fire to the house.
Right.
And, yeah, got in a lot of trouble for that.
I do remember people doing that kind of stuff.
I do remember the old
deodorant can on the bonfire.
On the bonfire, yeah.
Spectacular stuff.
That locker stuff
is great quality
schoolboy behaviour.
Yeah, correct.
But we can't obviously endorse it
because there might be
young people listening
to this show.
But on the similar
trail of thought,
Connor has also been in touch.
He says,
Hi guys,
I sent my first email
before I'd finished listening to Thursday's show
two is probably too many for one show
so pick your favourite, we have
and we've picked this one, on the back of the story
of Rob and making a flame flurry with aerosols
I was on a ski trip with my school
circa 2009
when I would have been about 16
we were staying in a hotel in the Alps and one evening
we sprayed a ceiling to floor size penis
on the hotel wall of our room with a can of Lynx and set it alight.
This was hilarious for about 10 seconds before the alarm went off
and the hotel was evacuated.
Outside, in the nighttime snow, among all the guests,
mainly at other schools staying there as well,
our careers teacher, Mr. Ho Hare, hello, sir, if you're listening,
interrogated everyone as to their potential involvement in the evacuation.
A few minutes later, we were all readmitted to the hotel
and a member of staff informed Mr. O'Hare that the alarm had been set off
by smoke in our room.
Five minutes later, Mr. O'Hare was standing in our room
in front of a scorched six-foot penis on the wall,
asking what had set off the alarm.
One of the lads was very indie chic at the time
and used straightners on his hair,
and we told him he'd left them on whilst hot
and left them sitting on a plastic bag.
Mr O'Hare looked at the straightners on the floor,
looked at the penis, and said very quickly,
OK, lads, it doesn't happen again, and swiftly left.
Perhaps he missed that kind of idiocy,
or he just wasn't bothered with the advent of discipline.
Either way, it was a great trip, and to be fair, he was a great guy.
Loved the show, All the best, Connor.
That starts out as a massive penis on fire and ends with a love letter to a beloved teacher.
Yeah, so, like, why did he not...
I mean, they're going to get in trouble at some point because they've burned a penis into the wall, no?
Yeah.
I like the idea that Mr. O'Hare's thought, it's not my problem.
It's not my penis.
Not my fucking hotel.
It's not my penis.
We'll deal with it's not my problem. It's not my penis. Not my fucking hotel. It's not my penis. We'll deal with it
when we check out.
So that kind of stuff
is why I couldn't be a teacher
because I couldn't be able
to deal with that.
Yeah.
I like that Mr O'Hare
has also got that same viewpoint
but it's to become a teacher anyway.
I would have went in the room
and went,
whoa!
Fucking hell,
that's what's being all,
whoa!
Can I get a picture of that,
please?
And you have been CRB checked for your service last week? And you have been CRB checked.
And I have been CRB checked.
Whenever I see a jaunty fun phallus,
I just get so turned on, Luke.
Doesn't matter what it's drawn in.
Snow, felt tip.
I go, oh, I can't.
You know, a big naked man on the side of the hill.
And sometimes someone will go and draw a penis on it.
Oh, yes.
Right, that's enough for this week.
We're getting out of it now because Donaldson's lost it.
Horny.
Very, very horny.
Horny on men.
This time of year, like a stag in Richmond Park.
Yes, the horniest of all.
Yeah, very, yeah.
Penis covered in brambles.
It is actually.
Lovely.
Make it seem as big as possible.
We'll be back on Monday for more of this nonsense.
If you have got an email, it doesn't have to be about a giant penis on fire.
It doesn't have to be about a big giant fire phallus.
Fire phallus.
Good band, actually.
Hello at lukeandpeachow.com.
We would love to hear from you.
Until then, have a lovely weekend.
We'll see you soon.
