it's thursday it is the luke and pete shaw my name is pete donaldson i'm joined by luke murr luke you will never guess what i've been up to this week you would never guess in a million years even though i've probably mentioned it every single week since christmas can i have a go can i have a go at guessing go on then that you ran a marathon chased by feral dogs while high on strict nine and ate a load of apples in an orchard and puked up no no my stomach lining is uh here to um uh it's completely artificial now your stomach line it's made of teak isn't it yeah it's it's settled a lot of i like to think i've won on that one having a teak uh stomach installed it's just it's just helped i like it when you remove it and put it in that presentation case

at dinner parties. I like it. I like this. What has the stomach ever done for us? That's what I say. No, I've not done any of that. I have been driving in a car. All over the gaff.

The way you said that, it just would sound so, you couldn't sound less like a driver if you tried. I have been driving in a car. In a car, officer. Tell us more. And if you don't let me go my merry way, I shall do some ramming.

Do people still ram? I love that. I don't know. Pete, I love the idea of you sat in your car being pulled over by a police officer. He walks up to your window, motions for you to wind it down, and you wind it down the first thing you say to him is good morning officer do people still ram do people still ram do people still wind down their windows more of a button system now i don't know what's been going on

then tell us more i don't know uh i have to commend uh my partner Christ, she's got stones. She just, I said, let's drive to Waitrose and she just let me drive to Waitrose in a car. And you meant the town of Waitrose in Dumfries. I get in the car, right? And she knows I can kind of like go up the little dirt road near our house up and down, do a couple of manoeuvres, drive backwards for a bit. Cool, right? It's called reversing, Pete. We call it reversing. It's called reversing.

Do we still call it reversing? And I'm like, she's not an instructor. She's not. We're both insured. I insured her on the car. She legally owns it because I don't think I can legally own a car if I can't drive the fucking thing. And I insured myself as a learner driver on top of that.

So I'm fairly certain that if I wrote anything off or did any ramming of a police officer, I would be fine legally and I'd be covered. But I just said, right, let's drive to Waitrose. And we drove to Waitrose without any kind of problem, right? And I'm just driving. It's quite a built-up area, so I was going quite slowly. And I think I did okay, right?

And then the next day, I said, let's go to Waitrose again. She goes, no, no, no, let's drive a little further out. Let's drive to, like, the next town, right? And I was driving, like, nearly 50 miles an hour in a car. Yeah. And I've never driven a car before. And I was just driving it. It was incredible, Luke.

The best parts of the show are when I join the listeners and I get an insight into what they're hearing when they're hearing us speak. Right. I have never known a trip to the shop to sound so intense. Oh, my God. I'm just driving real quick around ben's and there's people coming at me and they're country drivers and they're wet and they're in the fucking four

by fours and they're jaguars and they're throwing it around the bloody track and i'm just like i i'm just so close to them going really quick and i'm going really quick yeah and and and and a loved one's in the car and what how is this and she just lets me do it it sounds like fear and loathing in las vegas it's what sounds like in my mind you you are you are off your tits cigarette holder in your mouth talking about backcountry oh my god the last 30 years not happened to you pete what do you mean surely i understand that you're new to this driver thing and you're excited and it's all a bit of an experience, but you do know that other people do drive. And you've been in the car with me, for example. In fact, you left so many empty crisp packets in the back of my car

last time you were in it. I think I was still fishing them out about two weeks ago. A man likes crisps. Sat in the back. You knew what driving fucking entailed. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I know. But the very idea of going to not driving at all to 50 on a road back you know what driving fucking entailed do you know what i mean yeah i know but like but the

very idea of going to not driving at all to 50 on a road when other car road users are coming towards me i mean it just it's just a bigger leap than i expected and to be honest when i finally get to uh being allowed to be in a car with a driving instructor i imagine he'll have a few things to say about it as well yeah but i cannot i would like to publicly commend my partner for being fucking ballsy the the the co-driver you have access to uh the co-driver i have access to incredible and um what's next for you what's the next big step probably a lovely fiery crash i imagine i bet so i will be. Yeah, be careful because you don't have that car long. You don't want to write it off.

I know, I know. They always say if you're going to learn to drive, don't learn to drive in a car that you like. Can I also just say, I mean, this might be for the email section and maybe we'll come on to it a bit later, but I did notice, I forgot to say this on Monday, I didn't notice when I was going through my perusal of the email inbox that you've been having a conversation with an emailer from Belarus

who's been offering us strange-looking crisps. Oh. I mean, I do occasionally – Were you pissed? What time did I reply? I can't remember, but I feel like you might have been pissed. If I reply – if I see an email in the – if it pops up in the box and I've got nothing else on, I'll have a little read and I'll occasionally reply to say hello.

Because people, you know, they give us amazing, interesting stories, quite frankly. Yeah, I think if you look through the email subject of our inbox, I mean, I'll just read a few for you now, right? This is Posh Crh crisps right you replied to him actually at 2 49 p.m so you you probably weren't pissed and you're pretty hung over um but the the email subjects i mean steampunk pate uh tisky boycott uh come dine with me more of that later roundabout chat australia the home of sandy vinegar and my personal favorite does pete like his m1 macbook you've applied to that one as well i did reply to that one uh yeah two thumbs up from me yeah i think that email has said uh i like it when you talk tech uh i'm sure a lot of other

people don't but uh yeah i don't understand it um i'm recording on it right now while we're taking the piss out of you I think it's only fair that listeners get to hear you take the piss out of me and so I'm going to give you an opportunity to do so right now by saying, this is going to float your boat I think so a couple of weeks ago

I was looking, because we were all stuck at home all the time and I've got work to do and I've got other stuff to get on with and it's all quite intense I was looking for a video game that could really proper escapism right and so I ended up and I've been occasionally in the evenings when I've been at a bit of downtime because um Mimi's doing her dissertation at the moment she's really busy uh so I've tried to leave her to it occasionally in the evenings I've started playing pub g how do you feel about that um i really enjoy the first game you always pick the weirdest games that don't seem to suit you

like no man's sky i mean i mean yeah no i mean a fortnight is like your entry level kind of like introduction to the um to the mass massive like you know 100 on 100 uh kind of multiplayer game uh battle royale i presume they call it yeah um and indeed they do um yeah pub g's um it's it's it's it's a it's a slightly more intense uh more uh core gamery kind of experience you'd probably say a lot of pc enthusiasts A lot of PC enthusiasts and Chinese mobile users use it. The reason it came about, and I'm trying to be as childishly enthusiastic about it as you are about driving,

so it's only fair that we even it up. It came about because I had a meeting with Joel and Adam from The Offensive, one of Stacks' shows, which is obviously a brilliant show and people should listen to it. It's so funny. And they were outside the building and then the circle got a bit smaller.

Whatever for a grenade through my window. No, and they were saying, I just outside the building and then the circle got a bit smaller whatever for a grenade through my window no and and they were saying i just like yeah do you know what i'm looking for something a little bit new to try just to get my mind off things just so completely mindless and they were saying look we play pub g sometimes you should play with us and they invited me which is very kind of them so i've started playing a bit with them and i'm actually really enjoying it it's completely it's one of the only things i've done where it's a complete escapism i'm really enjoying it i think it's great a little are you in a little squad are you in a little pub g piller station four squad well listen put it this way do you know what it's like it's like um when a group of neighborhood tough guys decide to take along the weedy annoying little brother

with them to a fight and i am that weedy annoying little brother with them to a fight. And I am that weedy, annoying little brother. I am the most harmless player you could ever imagine. You've got your medipacks. You've got the little red balls. I've got the medpacks. There'll be a battle and one of them will say

something and by the time I've selected the gun, used the sight and had a look around, they're already dead. Probably 99 times out of 100 that happens. So I'm not making any kind of impact at all. I am literally like, this is what I do every single time. I turn up to a house fire 12 hours afterwards with a bottle of Evigan. Yeah, yeah.

Can I help everyone? No, you're 12 hours late. It's a difficult game at the best of times and obviously with with a squad it gets marginally easier and slightly more tactical um for me my pub g style is to just float off uh find the most remote part i could possibly be at realize i'm completely wildly outside the circle it gets smaller and smaller every time yeah um and then just try and find a vehicle to get back into the circle and get shot on the way in though i have once got myself a winner winner chicken dinner that's why well my character uh has a beautiful t-shirt saying winner winner chicken dinner because i did win once

i've got in the day thank you very much to my closest friends and allies i've got... Back in the day. Thank you very much to my closest friends and allies. I've got eight chicken dinners already. I don't do anything towards it. They won. They won. Oh, that is unbelievable. Have you ever killed anyone? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'll push someone off a cliff once. Oh, enjoyable. Well, I'm glad you... Hit her with a car. I don't know. Yeah.

Well, I'm glad you're enjoying PUBG. It's one of the few Battle Royale games I enjoy. But yeah, big, big flavours. Big potatoes. Big flavours from Loki. Big potatoes. So if anyone wants to play alongside me, I mean, I know I haven't really exactly given a ringing endorsement of my skills,

then, you know, guys, just get in touch. Get in touch. We'll vibe on it. If it was cross-play, I can't be arsed to set up my PlayStation. So if it was cross-play, we could make a three. We could make a trio with somebody else. That'd be lovely.

We should do that as a patron. We should do a patron where people get to play PUBG with us. I reckon we'd get a good tenner a month out of that. Yeah, definitely. And then I could upgrade some of my kit.

So anyway, one other thing I wanted to bring to the table today, and after the break we'll do emails and we'll get to see if there's any batteries that our new players enter in the game, and after the break we'll do emails and we'll get to see if there's any batteries that our new players enter in the game, of course, as we always do on a Thursday.

But I was thinking that I read something earlier this week and it was on the BBC website and it was about this thing called Skylab. And I'm going to pray to this. To cut a long story short, this might not be strictly 100% accurate accurate but it's the basic thrust of what i'm trying to say is that in the 70s uh there were it's a big dog that lives in the sky yeah yeah very good yeah good go go with that carry on what does it do yeah um just it's like the teletubby son just hangs out and looks at the teletubbies takes big turds on the earth um and anyway sky lab is the first i guess like the Teletubbies, son. Just hangs out and looks at the Teletubbies. Takes big turds on the Earth. And anyway, Skylab was the first, I guess,

the prototype international space station. And they had astronauts up on it doing things. And they were basically, I guess it was like a rudimentary way of testing what people could do in space, what they couldn't, and all the rest of it. Anyway, they did spacewalks and stuff like that. Good stuff, good good stuff good stuff great stuff anyway there was three of them up in there up there i think 1973 and one of them got ill and the um they obviously had various different ways of dealing with that but what happened was

they were bombarding um the mission control were bombarding them with things they wanted to do and i think they just got the schedule wrong and it was really full on and they're up there for quite a long time the longest time anyone had been on a space station at that point and they got a little bit um antsy about it to say the least because one of their mates was sick and there was a lot of work to do etc etc um and um one of the astronauts says in this article i read you know every morning we would get uh on the on the i guess it would be like a dot matrix printer doing printouts every morning we'd get on the, I guess it would be like a dot matrix printer doing printouts. Every morning we'd get 60 feet of instructions, right, of things that we had to do.

And it got really annoying. Oh, dear. So anyway. What did your last space slave die of? Yeah, what can they do up there anyway? They're only in their little capsule. So anyway, there was a rumor and talk that there was a mutiny. They refused to do work.

They refused to attend the briefings. Everyone got a bit concerned about what they're going to do. And anyway, they ended up thrashing it all out over a couple of meetings. And as one of the astronauts put it, it was a very tense two orbits of discussions because they could only speak at certain times of the orbit because of the communication. So anyway, the point being that this is a really long run-up of saying that one of the big things that was mentioned in an alternative article and a quote from one of the astronauts was that the best feeling

and experience was when they splashed down back onto the Earth. And I was thinking, what is the most enjoyable, the best feeling in the world that anyone on Earth has ever experienced. And I reckon after that ordeal, going through that, or going through the Apollo 13 ordeal, where you thought that you were never going to get back to Earth or whatever, what would be the most enjoyable feeling that anyone's ever experienced?

I don't reckon there's anything better than that. You can't really manufacture anything better than that. better than that you can't really manufacture anything better than that yeah i mean it's up there with um really needing a poo and then getting to your house and and or getting to your house and your body realizing that you're about to be at rest and it just suddenly decides to does your body do that we've spoken about my my cycles uh my orbits so to speak uh a few times. But there's something, I don't know what it is about the body that you can be walking around absolutely fine.

Then as soon as you get to your house, your body goes, right, it's time. Let's get to it. And at your front door, you start to feel, oh, I could probably go. It's very fascinating. So it's up there with that, I would say, that relief, that joy, that knowing that you're going to partake in a nice poo or getting back to your loved ones sometimes they're the same thing i am i am i always get the piss taken out of me by the wife i have access to because um i always say that doing your coat up when you've got shorts on is a really nice feeling.

It reminds me, it's a bit Donald Duck. It's a bit Sex People, Lin. It doesn't always happen. And I think the only time it really, I think the reason I like it is because probably the most times it happens are when I'm younger and I've just finished playing football and I've got shorts on and I put a coat on to stay warm and do my coat up when I'm wearing shorts. And for some reason, my friend Phil was the person who first pointed this out.

He said to me after football once, doesn't it feel really great to do your coat up when you've got shorts on? And it's always stayed with me. It really does, honestly. Those really sort of long kind of warm coats that were quite scratchy. The material is quite scratchy and shiny.

It's sort of like brush your legs. I just love it. I just think it's a really nice feeling. So I think people should email in if they feel the same. Have I tapped into something there? Have we tapped into a feeling that is hitherto unexplored? Because to me, doing your cut up when you've got shorts on is the closest I'll come to splash down after orbiting the Earth

on a very fraught space mission. Yeah, just, you know, maybe you could start a kind of sect that's just nudists in parkas. No, because that's flashes. I'm not talking about flashes. I've got shorts on this situation. Yeah, but you don't know. If you've got a parka, it could be long enough you wouldn't see your nudges. It's fine.

Absolutely fine. No, but I'm not talking about that. You've turned it into something different. And with the way your hair is at the moment, I'll be very careful of all of you. It feels good. It feels good. Whatever happens.

Right, we're going to take a short break. We'll be back for, yeah, more of this, I suppose. And batteries. This week at Sukarnov. On Wrestle Me, Mark Haynes has been telling me about the world's tiniest man. You wouldn't remember that guy coming in. Blobbing in.

Like a massive sort of soft biscuit. Are you sure he's six inches? Do you remember him? Do I remember him? Right, then he isn't six inches tall. He's got a very unique body. You can also join me on the Luke and Pete show, where me and Luke have been trying to come up with excuses

for our poor hairstyle choices. Now, more than any other era of my life, I care less and less about what other people think. Yeah, yeah, it's unfortunate. I think we're at the time of life where we've probably got more disposable income than we had ten years ago, and we don't give a shit about what anybody thinks. And that's how midlife crises begin.

I buy this stupid thing. I've got a scooter now. I'm wearing a ponytail. All that and a whole lot more at Sukarnov. It's the Luke and Pete Show part two on a Thursday. Do what you're keeping well if you want to get in touch with the show. It's simple. It's bloody simple. Hello at part two on a Thursday. Do what you're keeping well if you want to get in touch with the show. It's simple. It's bloody simple.

Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. On the emails, check out the Instagram at LukeandPeteShow. We've also got a Twitter as well. Battery Brands, Luke Moore. You are the king of this, so I'll let you get going. Oh, you want me to do him? Okay, I'll do him again. Yeah, I don't mind. But you need to help me on whether they're a new player or not because it's got to be passed by both of us.

But you need to help me on whether they're a new player or not because it's got to be passed by both of us. Tom on Twitter sent in a pair of TAC life batteries, TAC life batteries, which I think are a new player. I've never seen that before. In fact, it's like a nine-volt one, but the square ones, your faves. Yeah. Is it like TAC as in thank you in Norwegian? No, T-A-C-K, as in changing tack.

Yeah, no, I'll have that. Don't drive a tack into them, though. You may cause a small fire. No, exactly. Harry Lewis on Twitter sent in Ntop. That is not a new player. We've had Ntop before. Joe Eddington, he's a very prolific battery sender right now.

Battery latherer. He sent in, let me just get this right, he's a very prolific battery sender in there. Battery latherer. He sent in, let me just get this right because it's a little bit faded. Dorsey Mastercell Heavy Duty. I've never seen those before. I don't know where he's got this one from

because it looks really scuffed and really old. But I think that's a new player actually. I like it. I bloody love it. I'll finish up with In Our Shadow. Great Twitter name'll finish up with In Our Shadow.

Great Twitter name. Well done. In Our Shadow tweeted in informing us that the Warrior Batteries mentioned as new players last week are in fact not new players. They were tweeted in three years ago. Do we definitely read them out though, Luke? That's the question. They may have been tweeted in and you may have been very good

to find that out, but do we actually read it out? No, because the first three years of the Luke and Pete show, we didn't read any of our tweets. It's only when that came in that we got a little bit of organisation in. So apologies for the oversight, but I'm afraid. Yeah, I guess we have to make a ruling on that, that In Our Shadow gets to be welcomed into the new player

into the game club as well then. Yeah. Can I just chuck in an extra one at the end that came in yesterday? Yeah. From Ace from Los Angeles. Ace has got in touch. What a name. Hello, Pete.

I found this battery in my mum's emergency flashlight. Look, it probably is an emergency flashlight. I'm just saying, right? I'm just saying. Just don't, not near your face. The brand is called Alone Fire. Alone Fire. Yeah, I've never heard of them before. That's amazing.

Hopefully it's a new player. Ace from Los Angeles. I'm glad you found that torch under your mum's bed. And yeah, new player in the game, Alone Fire. Congratulations, Ace, to round us off. And technically speaking, every flashlight is, to some extent, an emergency flashlight. Otherwise, why would you be using it?

And secondly, I'm starting to think certainly with something like a loan fire. Pete, do you think there's any chance that certain countries that are manufacturing these batteries who aren't using English as their first language? Say again? Are they playing up to the Luke and Pete Shaw brand? No, I wasn't going to say that. I was going to say maybe they're just generating random English words to stitch on them as brands because they think it will be

a more powerful thing oh massively yeah that's i mean luke i mean this has been the last three years of the show like i said i don't read the tweets very much very much chinese uh you know in guangzhou uh just firing out any old english twaddle on the side of an unlovable cell and just doing a new one every week and just sort of going, ooh, this is a new one. This looks cool. I don't think they're unlovable, are they? That's unfair. What do you mean?

Unlovable, cheap little batteries? Come on. Just de-waste, isn't it? De-waste. It is. All right, emails. I've got one that I really want to read this week, but before I get to that one, I need get um back on the steampunk train um

okay right which will obviously literally be a train at steam power train uh joe's emailed in saying um a while back you asked why you don't get a lot of steampunk listeners i don't know why we're asking about that only partly because you love steampunk and i want to let people know about it i suppose um have you ever had a good steampunk video games, Pete? Oh, yeah, there'll be loads. The video game... Oh, God, what is it? It's an underwater one, and it's like a kind of post-apocalyptic...

Is it post-apocalyptic? It's kind of like a... Oh, God, Bioshock. Bioshock is steampunk. Okay, I was going to suggest Echo the Dolphin. Joe says, the reason you don't get a lot of steampunk okay i thought i was gonna say i was gonna suggest echo the dolphin um joe says um yeah the reason you don't get a lot of steampunk listeners is because they're all about alternate history in the universe where it's called the pete and luke show they make up the

overwhelming majority of the audience so maybe they're on some kind of different timeline to us thanks to hg wells and all the other stuff that they like um can you think of i sent you a picture earlier which you didn't reply to of a steampunk um underground metro station you see it yeah i mean it was just a metro it was just an underground metro station that had uh a cog wheel and sort of metal motif to the surroundings um is it is it just steam Is it just steam? Is it just not steam, mate? It's not punk. It's just steam. No, I think it was steampunk themed.

And I also found evidence of a steampunk bar the other day as well, which I'll send you later on. But to be honest, I'm getting a little bit fed up of you not replying to my great content. First it was only Fools and Horses, now it's steampunk.

You're not getting on board. Well, I told you you emailed me some... You carrier-pidgeted me some awful Only Fools and Horses content. Something about a commemorative plate, I think. Which I very much enjoyed.

But then I completely unprompted, I think it might have got on my head like an earworm. I was watching Boise and Belgrade. For some reason, Boise has done what looks like a self-funded documentary about him in Belgrade because Belgrade seems to be where a lot of Only Fools and Horses fans are for some reason. And yeah, he's just there and he's meeting people who have DVDs

of Only Fools and Horses. They just seem to go down quite well in that part of the world. Would you be interested in seeing or making, in fact, maybe we'd get funding for it, a steampunk remake of Only Fools and Horses? Like Rodney and Dale Boyz. Dale Boyz got a top hat with cogs on it instead of a flat cap. Exactly. And they are in a big stately home and they've got to make sure the cog

doesn't drop out the ceiling. Yeah. Al-Khalaf has got those goggles on. I like it. I like that going down really well. But anyway, the email I actually wanted to get to was from, well, he doesn't want to, I mean, I'm assuming it's a he, but he doesn't want to, I mean, I'm assuming it's a he, but he doesn't want to be named.

He signed this off as, I'll come to that in a minute, but he says, hi, guys, lovely work on the show. Thanks for all the hours of listening. Here's a little bit of inside info for you. Inside. I worked on Come Dine With Me for 18 months as a researcher. Wow. Here we go. through a looking glass now he says the request for guests did actually vary depending on who the commissioner at channel four was at the

time one of the episodes i cast we were told because there had been so many fights recently they wanted a week of funny and fun people who would get on well which i then had to provide the menu and entertainment does have to be decided before the week but there is a free choice as to what these are so you can do whatever you want but you have to let them know in advance and he said we also um did still have quite a few remits to fill in terms of people um the fact that it's been going over so long just makes it even harder to to find them and as for the episode order because you and i talked about this we said if you're on the monday

you've got an amazing chance to win because people are up for it they're excited they're enthusiastic they're not hung over etc i come down with me man says that's decided between the producers and the commissioner of the program because one of the weeks I argued that our Monday person should be our Friday and our Friday person should be Monday, it would have been a better week had that been the case. But I think the Wednesday host won that week anyway, but it does get affected by who's available for a full day on certain days because, of course, if you are having your dinner party that day,

you've got to be available for the full day shoot, not just up in the evening so that's kind of how it works i'd love to come down with me mole to get back in touch and tell us any research that's been done by our friends over at whatever production company makes it um on what the most likely winning day is so who's won the most and how that corresponds with which day of the week they've been? They've probably got the stats as well. That'll be very interesting to find out. I just think that why is the commissioner getting involved in deciding the minutiae of

who should be on what day? Surely your jurisdiction ends when the contract has been signed. Why are they getting involved? They may have a good idea about how to run a company or a channel, but why are they getting involved in the actual place? What's next?

The Commissioner tasting the pasta to see if it's al dente? It's too much. Yeah. It's too much. It's not right. It's the meat tender. Don't worry about it. You've got bigger things to worry about.

Yeah. Anyway, have you got an email, Pete, to round us off? I've got an email. A us off i've got an email a poorly educated scotsman in california no less tim weston is his name hello the luke and the pete uh i was recently thinking a rather silly thought which resulted in a meteorological revelation that i wanted to share with the show is this going to be as groundbreaking and as noggin bothering as me finding out that that seaweed stuff that you get in Chinese is actually dark cabbage. Mountains are snow-capped at high elevations,

but the clouds normally look the same regardless of the land below. So this got me thinking, does all rain start as snow and melt as it falls? After a quick Google search, the Google search probably took less time than writing this email. Apparently the answer is yes, it is. Most rain starts as snow, high in the clouds, even in the tropics. As these snowflakes fall through warmer air, they become raindrops. I feel like this is something that I should know by the age of 29. I've attached an image of the water cycle the way we were taught at school below, noting the one glaring omission, secret sky snow.

Forget QAnon, this is the real cover-up all the best tim weston a poorly educated scotsman in california i do hope you are staying out the sun yeah i never i never really considered that before but i guess it makes sense because when you're in a plane and you go through all the information panel thing where it tells you how fast you're going where you're off to and all that kind of stuff it does say it's like minus 40 outside at all times right and you're regularly flying through clouds so that does kind of make sense i also it also got me thinking about how like for example when you fly through a cloud that's when it seems to be that's when you get the most turbulence right yes that's to do with obviously that's to do with the physical

makeup of the clouds so the clouds all full of snow i mean how does it work because some snowflakes are quite big but you don't see a big flurry of snow in a cloud i don't really know how it works yeah i don't know how uh clouds are formed i mean would you presume i mean i mean the differing air pressure above and below the wings i guess would probably buff it I don't think it's anything to do with the snow going in the engines or anything, but, I mean, I guess it can't help. I know for a fact that a couple of crashes that happened in recent times, not that recently, but recently generally, have had to do with frozen droplets of water in the actual oil itself,

in the actual gas itself, which is obviously a big problem. And that's why a lot of airlines have to kind of track their directions and where they're going to be at any one time very carefully and adjust their fuel load, I think. Before we start doing this show, if someone says to me, are you interested in planes? I probably would have said sort of, but not really. But we always talk about them, don't we?

We just always get there because they are fascinating, and especially in a year where we haven't really been able to go anywhere. I do find it more interesting than ever. I watch loads of pilots talking about why water droplets were found in the petrol and why they didn't manage to get to the runway in time. I think sadly, though, to round off the episode this week on a sad note, I think Pilot Neil's wrapped his hand on us.

I mean, we gave a big call out to him last week because he was back in the simulator. We were really pleased for him. Not had a dicky bird from him since. Well, look, you outed him as a BA pilot. No, I didn't. You did. You said that.

You did. I said he was in the back of the simulator and you said it was a BA one. I didn't say that. You said that. You said, right, anybody who's got the wherewithal, because I'm not going to do it, I can clip it. Someone else check. Anyway, let's get out of here.

That's it for us for this week of the Luke and Pete show. I hope you've enjoyed it. We certainly have.
