The Luke and Pete Show - Wound Check

Episode Date: August 21, 2025

Greetings, all! Where to start this week? Well, Pete celebrated Stak moving offices to central London by heading straight to Harley Street and having a fatty lump cut out of his back. It had to be done - it was stopping him sleeping properly. After that he tells Luke all about two ferrets he met on a walk this week, and although their owners didn't let him put them down his trousers, he was allowed to hold one of them briefly. What a victory in Pete's continuing quest for improved smalltalk! Email us at [e-mail] or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram if character-restricted messaging takes your fancy.Please fill out Stak's listener survey!

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is an eight-episode Hulu original limited series that blends gripping pacing with emotional complexity, offering a dramatized look as it revisits the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. It's the Luke and Pete Shaw. How the devil are you doing? It is Luke and Pete Shaw.

Two men in the room talking about whatever the bloody hell we want to talk about. And you know what? Sometimes people listen along and they don't not like it. They don't not like it. That's what a lot of the reviews say. We don't not like it, Pete and Luke. So, yeah, Lukey Boer is back in the building in the... wearing what can only be described as a shacket in god damn august the middle of august what's

wrong with you man well what's wrong with you is you don't know what a shacket is as per it's a it's a like a fleecy jumper thing sorry sorry sorry sorry it's fine to wear a fleecy jumper on the 19th of august in the middle of a big heat wave keen-eyed viewers of this and other shows will notice and i don't as you know pete it's not like me to blow my own trumpet i don't want to talk about it I've lost quite a loss of weight. Right. So now you're cold? Yeah, basically.

At the back of the house where I am at the moment, it's pretty cold. A little bit chilly-willie on the night of August. Okay, right, I see. It's funny because I always fancied myself in a survival situation just purely due to being overweight. Right, yeah. No skills. Just overweight.

He lasts forever, just nine on himself. Yeah, and now I've got no reserves to call on whatsoever after we're jumpers all the time. And it's not actually that warm today, mate. I mean, it's like 19 degrees or something. I guess we're in slightly different places. It's quite sunny and... You just said we're in the same room, but we're not.

Sorry, we're not in the same. Lying to the listenership, are you claimed to respect? Well, you say that you've had some fat removed through hard work and correct dieting. I didn't say I had some fat removed. Right. Well, I've had some fat removed. I had some fat removed yesterday.

Right. Under the surgeon's knife, gone for a full Tommy Tock. what are you talking about I had a fatty lump lip a lipoma on my back that was preventing me from sleeping how does it prevent you from sleeping

just going you're a right fucking waking you are when you're here why you're trying to drop off you fucking remember that time you said that wrong thing in front of somebody you're anxious about that yet you should be

you're failure you got that a lamp and worm thing wrong I so I couldn't sleep on it because I had to sleep on the other side and so how big was it what baseball size

It was a golf ball sign? It was probably about, you know, those giant buttons you can buy, those Cadbury giant buttons? Yeah. Like four of them piled on, like piled in a circle. Terrible example.

Was it a coaster, it was a coaster-sized. It was cracked off a course of size. And I got it, and I popped into, we've moved into Fitzerovia, and I thought, this is the perfect time

for me to pop in for a little sort of lunchtime operation to get this lipoma chopped down. You got a Harley Street? I went to Harley Street Oh, you're showing off now People are going to criticise you, mate Oh, loot

Not pay me to tax for I and go to Harley Street No, he was removing a lump out of my back It wasn't like I was having my thread veins done Or some Botox No You should be waiting for four and a half years In the NHS for that If you're a three man of the people

They wouldn't do it Because it's technically technically not causing me Basically, when I got the lump sort of checked out Well, because it's aesthetic They won't do it They're saying it's aesthetic The guy, when I had it done, when I had it sort of went in to have my MRI and stuff, he said, basically, just tell the NHS that it's causing you bother and they'll get it out. And so I went in, I went, can I get this out? It's causing me bother. They went, no. Get out. Get out, dickhead.

How can it be aesthetic when it's stopping me sleeping and therefore making me quite irritable? Exactly. You know, you are turning me into a monster. So I got removed. And apparently it was sore. It says Raleigh Street. There's a lot of fucking places in Raleigh Street, I tell you what. And it has to be said, I did go down the bottom end of the market, let's say, in removal prices. And the front room of the surgery was what can only be described as mid-late 90s internet cafe chic. It really was... Right out of your street.

I can tell what you felt at home. Really loud, really big plasma telly. Lots of LED lights. everywhere, like it's some kind of futuristic brothel. Okay, that's your procedure completed. You can leave now. I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave. I'm enjoying the karaoke on the telly. There was little karaoke on the telly. I found another fatty lump. That's your testicle. That's your testicle, Peter. But yeah, but they had karaoke on in the reception. It was so, it was so Laurent. I was a bit like, oh, oh, I hope they're going to wash their ads.

Anyway, it went through to the actual surgeon thing. Were you awake the whole time? Yeah, well, yeah, yeah. I thought it was going to be one of those things where a bloke sits there with a bedpan and he just cuts it open, gives you a little injection, cuts you open, pops it into the pan, pops it in the pan and then and then stitch you up and sends you on your ear. But what happened was proper like seven people in the room, everyone's wearing gowns and hats and masks.

You feel self-conscious? Well, I don't know what was more. disgusting the big lump of fat he pulled out of my back or me with my top off my nipples could he not reach around and grab a bit of fat from there as well good god like it was sure like I was sure like give a little get these muffin tops out yeah it was so bad and um yeah and it was like really it was just a lot going on and they were like you know he was asking for forceps and he got the little carterizer out and burned my you know closed up my blood vessel or two And I was like, fucking out, I didn't realize this was so complicated.

Drops of Jupiter on the karaoke in the background. Oh, yeah, well, naturally I was singing born in the USA at the time. Really chill me out. But, yeah, it was really, like, it was really quite more intense than I thought it was going to be. Like, nice, you know, a nice surgeon guy from, like, Spain or something. And he was just, he just proper, like, but it was. Hang on, is that what he said? Where are you from, Spain or something?

Spain or something. But, like, they were obviously getting, they were obviously getting the, um, surgery ready for the next one because it's a proper like you know fucking you know any dead time in the surgery room with the surgeon is dead time so they were collecting all of the stuff

ready for the next operation that was taken place and so it was really funny to sort of they were just getting loads of what they called scalples out of the cupboard to start the to prepare the next thing and then the surgeon went

don't don't let him see those oh really? Basically saw me looking at the big sharp scalples that are bringing out for the next one and he said don't do that now

it's really funny but it was really complicated and so anyway they stitched me up and now I've got a pretty hefty stitching on my back that's making my life

very difficult but it's my own fault how long did the whole thing take from start to finish probably about half an hour were you pleased with the service

they were lovely but it made a difference can you sleep better now no because I've got painful stitches It's on my side, but I'm sure it'll... I've got to get them removed in a couple of weeks time. Once they're removed, I'll be tip-top.

It's not... You didn't use those dissolving ones? Oh, you've got... No, because I think they had two... Yeah, I think they had a stipped-chup two layers of skin or something, so... Right. How much does it cost? Pretty deep.

I'm not going into that. Why not? Because it's expensive, and I can't afford it. You're always skin, and I don't understand how you can do this kind of. Well, it's because I got... Because I'm just filled with fatty lumps, Lou. That's why. Is there any...

I was encouraged by you saying that can you put a price on healthcare? I said no. True, that is true. I did say that. I do believe that. I can't sleep. Is there any value, financial value, in that fatty lump? Is it a commodity to be traded?

Well, I said, he wouldn't let me see it, which I think is not fair. That's your, technically. That's disappointing. That's my, totally. It's a disappointment. He said that usually, basically, he said when he cut into me, it sort of sprung out like a jack in the box. Really? Trying to get out.

It hates me. Did you say to him, what kind of surgeon did you? you claim to be, sir, when you'll not let mine own man feast eyes on his own flesh? On flesh, exactly. Yeah, apparently, it usually comes out in a, like a sort of casing, but mine

was sort of spread all over the place. Do you reckon he thinks he's of the philosophical viewpoint that once it's removed from your person, it then becomes his possession? It's like an ambergris, isn't it? That's what I'm saying? Is it having an amigree? Would it have any financial value, like an ambergris? I don't know. Maybe

I've never... Is he making soap? You can't have it You might even make a soap Like fight club Yeah Exactly Yeah That's an amazing experience

Though how do you feel about it? I felt like I just felt I thought it was going to be A lot less Pump and Ceremony I thought I was going to Be able to keep my top on

I don't know why Because that would be mental If he had to cut With a scalpel Through my t-shirt Open up the t-shirt Put iodine all over my t-shirt First layer of the dermis

It's a less than Jake T-shirt Amazing though I'm pleased that you're good to sort Well done Yeah So hopefully I'll be able to sleep Better in a few weeks time

So I mean The fact that it jumped out Like a jack in Suboptimal But at least he didn't go Fuck it out Put it straight back Put it back in

It's a structural It's a structural wall It's a structural Get me RSJ Get me the skin RSJ Wow And do you think you'll be back For more

More activity with him Or Well there's no I've gotten there Cause I don't think there's anything Did he specialise in that specific procedure? No, I think it's probably all just, you know,

a bit of a pull back the skin here, making a bit tighter here, maybe a bit of... There's a catalogue in the waiting room, is there? Yeah, probably, yeah. I've got to go back. I've got to do a wound check, and then they've got to take my stitches. I've got to keep going back,

but I've said, I'm not doing the wound check. I'll just send you pictures on the wound check. I'll just take me on dressing off. Great name for a band. Woon check, yeah, nice. They'd be quite heavy, but like they'd be really heavy but they'd be almost like Black Vail Brides

aesthetic. Right, okay, yeah, nice. They'd be like quite emoy, pretty boy looking but they'd be quite heavy. I mean there'd be some blast beats in there actually. What's a blast beat? Huh? What's a blast beat? Blast beats are the best drum beat.

It's the drum beat that they use and think like like grindcore, kind of hardcore, kind of hardcore punk. Right, okay. Got really fast and really fucking heavy. on the um what's the so basically you know basically this is getting technical uh but as far as i

understand it you know like a general four four beat which is boom bat boom bat on the high hat the blast beat i think occupies on on the on the on the on the on the down beat you're hitting the snare really loud and the base at the same time right so it's like a powerful fast beat so what's we when i when i was in um that band for six gigs um we had a four four drummer who would just do do but what we wanted out

of him was there that's that's that's that's that's that that

that's that that's yeah and he could only do it for one song probably quite

hard I mean my mate Woody is a brilliant drummer in fact I've got two mates

called Woody who are drumers one of them is a drummer and you know as well one's a

drummer in Bastille the other one is not the drummer in Bastille the one is not the drummer in Bastille who is fucking

brilliant drummer he is like one of the things it goes underplayed I think about drumming is when you see him it's a fucking workout you know if you're doing an hour on stage that's hard I mean I'm not surprised to hear that people who you know can't keep it up for that long you know because you have to be a really good nick for the most for the most part would you say all the old drummers on drummy or all the old jazz drummers

don't give me starting on drummio again they're always sort of like they're always like absolutely giving it it's some and you're like, mate, you're in your fucking 70s. How are you doing that? It's wild. I guess if you use it, I'll lose it. Yeah. Like Bill Ward, when that Black Sabbath reunion gig, he was doing all right given that he's had like terrible

health and he's old. Pretty good going. I mean, you'll be able to free up yourself, free up your shoulder for drumming now. Are you after that fatty well, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'll be able to do all sorts, I guess. Yeah, probably some severe pull-ups, some big pull-ups from me. You've got some plough? Do you get some

pretty impressive pull-ups in your future? Yeah, I think so, yeah, apart from the terrible... Because there's none in your past, is there? Not in the past now. One perfect pull-up, that's all I need. I can't do any, but I mean, I've got the absolutely opposite body type needed for it to do pull-ups. Not very strong and big.

Yeah, it's not really fair, is it? You kind of need to see perspective how tall people are when you're looking at the old pull-ups. People expect me to be strong as well? I don't think that's true, do they? I think that's true. You don't, because you know me, but people, they see me for the first time.

Expect you to be strong. Oh, what? Because you tell you can lift stuff, right, okay, yeah. And I'm not. Yeah. But then they probably, but the sort of, the contrarians among us would probably say,

it's probably that guy, isn't it? That guy's the one with the strength, the little guy. Yeah. But that's not true. That's like. By the way, I wanted to get a, because I've been on holiday,

haven't I so a bit more on that after the break we'll do that after the break but before we do I was one of the things I was thinking about a lot when I was on holidays

whether you've been tempted back to the devil's trough and got stuck into some more deal pickles no no I've been flirting with I had a roll mop earlier today

and that's as vinegary as I'm sort of getting I had Is the vinegar the problem do you think I tell a lie I did have half a gurkin on Friday on my normal Friday

So I think I suppose I had half a gherkin to test whether it was the gherkins from the forbidden gherkin jar that I bought from cash and carry Or it was a cursed The cursed jar Or um

It just gherkins in general I had pretty much half a gherkin And I was okay So maybe it was just the forbidden jar I think you've got I think what you need to do here now Is you need to build up So tomorrow it's like press ups

Tomorrow you can have Three quarters of a gherkin Oh why don't I just eat a full cucumber and just get older and older cucumbers. I just get like, start vinegar in. Maybe you should pickle your own cucumbers. Pickle your own cucumbers and just have like test cucumbers. Like

I'll label them all. I think you'd enjoy that. For one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, yeah. So I kind of like chili. Like pickling vinegar. Yeah, some, um, some spices. Shit loads of sugar. He's probably do need to do that. And then, um, and get, get stuck in.

I, I am not a fan of the pickle. I'll take the pickle out of a burger of me. Yeah, I know I've eaten your pickle on more than one occasion when you've left it on the side of your plate. I've not even offered it to you. I know.

I've just got in there and taken it. Marcus sometimes cuts the fat off his meat. I'm getting that as well. Because I am flavour man. If the fat has been properly rendered, I'm eating it. Yeah.

If it's like a white, slobbery mess, I'm probably steering away from it. It's like eating. I am so, I'm so in love. I will happen. I would eat

Postman's rubber bands anything that looks chewable I'm chewing it I'm getting in my mouth Why don't they have to be postman's rubber bands Well because they're the ones who throw them on the floor Like it's fucking Like that's the thing to do

That's the strong on the floor lads Yeah Have we got any Have we got the official postman of our postperson Of the look of a pitch of I mean that should be a competitive spot What do you think you'll do? I've got a fucking wipe

I've got to clean my cans Before I put them in the recycling But you're allowed to throw rubber bands on the floor What's that about? I don't think they're doing it on purpose. I think they're just, it's one of those. Pinging it. I think they're pinging it at cats.

Dogs faces. Oh, I was, I walked my dogs today and came across on the beach. There's a tiny little beach at Lee. And there was two, there was like a family walk in their ferrets on Leeds. Well, that gave you a throwback to the northeast back in the 80s, didn't it? I never ever get involved with it. You know what I'm like. I'm incredibly shy about it.

everything. But I had to go over and go, can I stalk your ferret? Because you just don't get to say your ferret often enough. You just don't get to see. I mean, so you actually went out there and you said, put myself out there. Yeah. And what was your opening gambit? Give me, give me that. Give me that bloody ferret. No, I just, I just said, can I say, can I say a lot to your ferret? I don't know, but they sort of said, oh, we love people who love ferrets. It was like, it sounds like you've had a running with people who don't like ferrets on the beach. But there he is. There's a little, I'm sure, I'm a picture of a little fella. A beautiful white one.

An albino ferret. Was he well-behaved? The white one, I think, was about to fall asleep in my arms, but the other one... You're making the family take a photo of you as well? It's Sarah take a one with me. Oh, Sarah did it, okay. But there was another ferret, and she went, this one's a bit bitey, and fuck me. He was a bit bitey.

He's a, as soon as he got in your hands. Yeah, they're all right, though. They're great ferrets, but they do fucking stink. What were their name? problem i don't know how to just didn't ask ferretty guys didn't ask not bother just do they not introduce themselves i hate when people do that i hate it when you um you you shake someone's hand for the first time and i always say hello luke nice to meet you and they don't say anything they don't say their name i think that should be something that should be frowned

upon i think we should make people do it because i've already got a lot of my mind trying to remember everyone's name i can't be giving me a chance i'll stick it into the mix oh oh mysterious girl over there Fucking tell me your name. See, there's the reason she's not telling you their name. She does want you to another name. All right, mysterious boy then. Mystery man, I don't fucking know. You had a polshaw for young men and comfy jumpers back in the day, so I'm not having that.

You still have. That season's always open. There's always vacancies for those appointments. Whenever we were doing something, Luke would always find a good-looking young man with a lovely comfy jumper on. I don't know why. I don't know what was going on there, but just... Can I just say as well, in my defence? Not that there's anything to defend

because, you know, there's nothing around we're talking to people. I was also a fairly young man myself at the time. That is true, that's true. So I probably just wanted to want people who would be kind to me unlike you and the rest of the fucking mob.

All right, let's take a short break and we're back with some bits and bobs, battery brands and also... We're not doing battery brands, are we? Oh, for fuck sake. I want to do my holiday story.

Thursday, isn't it? Well, maybe you can do your holiday story on the next show because that makes out of sense. We got through my fatty lump, my ferret Some drumming stuff Not your ferretts Not my ferrette

Some drumming stuff I've got a story here about a massive policeman Let's do it We're back with the Lincoln Beach Shore Shall we get on with some battery brands For crying out loud Yeah let me bring Let me fire up the old email account

Yeah I've done the exact same thing here I've not all I'm ready to go if you are Alright I'm ready By the way before we do Do you think you'll see those ferrets again Or they local to the area Like they seem like a lot of fun

the family I mean for one they've got ferrets on leads for crying out loud I mean that's a hilarious I mean if you're gonna choose

an animal to be led a right like to hold a collar a ferret is just a big tube so like you just would not think that he would have

the purchase but yeah turns out they do and they can walk like a just like a dog can walk yeah what do you mean

as in like yeah they just walk on on on leads yeah But I'm wondering what their range is because, obviously, they're not very big. You can pick them up and put them in your trousers, like a northerner, can't you? So, I think that's what puts me off. They're tired, yeah.

What, because they've been in northern as trousers? I just don't want to meet someone and not be aware they've got a ferret in their trousers. No, well, I think you'd know. I think you'd know. You'd know from the smell, at least. Right, Will has got in touch. Hi, boys, listen for a while, only once close to emailing him previously when people was talking about its trip to Vilnius, as I was living there at the time.

I was wondering if you got down to see the 16 foot tall James Gandalfini statue at the train station. Oh yeah, I clicked on that. It's a fucking terrible statue, but it looks cool. Wow.

No, I have not seen... What is it on the train station? It's like right on the train station platform. Amazing. Wow. What's the link, do you think? I don't know. Well, you've watched the Sopranas

more than... Yeah, I've. I don't remember anything from Vilnius or Lithuania coming up or whatever. Yeah. Do you know the story of, so that is, so obviously there are people listening to who can't see this statue, so I'll just describe it quickly. It's a, it's the classic Tony look of him with his white dressing gown and his shorts going down to get the paper, right?

Yeah. And do you know there's quite a good bit of trivia about, about Tony Soprano wearing the shorts, right? Because obviously when he goes down and to get the paper, he's wearing his, but his pyjama shorts, right? He's not by getting dressed. But aside from that, there's a scene, it might even be the very first episode,

but there's a scene quite early on where he's having a cookout, a barbecue in his house, and he's invited all his family over. And family in both senses of the work, both sets of the world, so from the DiMeo Crime family and all his captains and stuff

and his actual family. And having a big cookout in this massive garden. And he's at the grill and he's wearing shorts, right? And later on, in the series, Carmine Lu Patazzi, who is the head of the New York family at the time,

one of the New York families, the one they do the most business with, he leans over to Tony at a meeting in his ear and just says, oh, one thing, Tony, I heard about your cookout last week, a Don doesn't wear shorts, right? Right. As in like, if you're going to be a fucking Don, you can't wear shorts. Like when Noel Gallagher said he fucking got fed up of a waist at the moment Liam Gallagher started wearing shorts on stage, right?

apparently and we know this to be true because there's been like wiretaps from police departments and they've released audio of wiretaps actual mafia figures watching the soprano so we know they watch it

we knew back in the day they were watching it and they were trying to work out between them the audio is actually quite funny like you're hearing like they're talking about oh is that guy supposed to be me kind of thing is literally saying stuff like that anyway apparently James Gennelofini said

or either he said or Michael Imperiali said it who played Christopher Maltesanti in an interview that during shooting one series

Gandalfini was in his trailer and he got a phone call on his mobile from like an unknown number answered it and it was a guy who just said to him

loved the show great stuff but one thing you need to know a Don never wear shorts and I just hung up and he told David Chase the creative surprise

about it and that's why that lines in the show Nice, like that. Anyway, sorry about that. So, Will, get back to Will's battery. Well, I would say that, like, the, I must backfill the narrative on the whole James Gandalfini as Tony Soprano, big train station resident statue. Apparently, it migrated from another town in Lithuania.

And they... It migrated. It's a status. It took it, you mean? I think this is one of those things that nobody wants to smash up, nobody wants to throw in the bin. But it's just too big. It's just like, does anybody want this? You'd have it, wouldn't you? You don't know what? Oh, man.

Since we moved offices, I should let people behind the curtain here. We've moved offices. And as a result, it's a load of kind of tech that we don't need any more or hardware that's not got no longer got a use. And people are putting it on WhatsApp groups. They don't want this. They don't want that. Every single time without foul, Donaldson's claiming it. I'm not.

I'm not. Two monitors, a massive TV. I'm not getting any of the monitor. It was way too big. You still won it. I'm thinking. I might use it as one of it, like a background, like I'm in a window or something. But yeah, no, there's a lot of tech.

There's a lot of tot and tech I'm very much into, but I know for a fact, I've got a bit space in this apology cabin, I know for a fact, I will put that in a box in here, and it'll be back in that studio, because that's exactly what happens in a studio, you think you don't need it, everyone gets a bit clever and fancy about the new studio, we want to be nice and tidy, we don't want too many wires around, those wires will be back on that studio, because you'll need that fucking wire. You'll need that fucking wire on it.

It'll be right back in there. They'll be back in there because you'll go there after dark and put it back in there. That's why. I'm saving you from yourselves. Were you trying to rebuild a hoarder's mental health?

Horders buried alive. But the surprise apparently was a huge phenomenon in Lithuania partly due to the fact that it had a Lithuania specific dub basically.

Oh, right. Okay. I didn't know that. Anyway, Right. Yes, anyway, says Will, by means of a battery submission, I cracked up with the motion sensor in my entrance where, hello, and was greeted by these guys. I don't think I've heard of these before, although I'm fully prepared to be humbled by AMBD,

the almighty battery daddy. Nectium, with a lovely logo of a hummingbird on a pretty attractive striped design. It's a great-looking battery, actually. It's a good-looking battery. It's made me burp a bit, that's how good it is. And nectium sounds like something that you would eat as a drug. Nectium sounds like a drug. Anyway, don't eat the battery.

Something you would eat as a drug. Something you would eat as a drug. Yes, nectium, alkaline. New player? Yeah, nectium. So interesting battery, looked great. Certainly one of the rarer ones we've had. But it's the second time we've seen it, Will, I'm afraid.

We first saw it way back in August of last year. about a year ago from our friend Mike in Cornwall. He sent in a good handful of CR 2032s in nectium. He also, what I should point out as well, as Mike said, I think around that time about a year ago, we were wondering what CR 2032 actually means. And he helpfully said to us, C stands for lithium because the electrochemical code,

R stands for round, 20 stands for 20mm diameter, and 32 is 3.2 millimeter in height. that's where a CR 2032 is. These aren't CR203 Tuesday. It looks like to be double A's, but we have seen the brand nectium before. So they're the second battery we've seen with nectium on the side.

But nice effort. Anyway, Will and thanks for your email. It was really nothing in the end. Thank you for getting involved. You can't be quite Morrissey these days, mate. Hello, gents. Long time listener and first time email. I'm currently on holiday with a partner I've access to

and our five-year-old daughter, a beautiful Bulgaria, to listeners who don't want to play the eye-watering prices during the school holidays. Completely agree. A lot of people I know are going to Bulgaria, and I happen to have some Bulgarian money in my cupboard. I gave it to them, didn't realize it was about 150 quid. Really annoyed about it.

By the way, that started off as a really idle boast and actually ended up as quite an impactful story. You gave my 150 quib by accident. Yeah, I didn't realize how much it was. Anyway, I can't really ask for any money for it. Since the pandemic and suddenly working for a mom, I find myself playing catch-up with the pod as the commute to and from work. used to provide the ideal opportunity.

I was listening to 80's Cool on a flight which you brought to us in November 24. My tactic, oh, taking your hot jumper off here because it's so blooming cold in London. I can see your nipples, you animal. Showing off. Let me do it on mute while you're reading the email while you actually do some work.

Yeah. My tactic is to only one have one earbud in there so I'm still able to quench my daughter's thirst for knowledge. I do that. I'm a bad dad too. I never do that. That's an outrageous thing to do. I would never do that.

If I'm making food, I can have, if I'm making food, I can have one earpiece in. I'm not while I'm playing with her or I'm like in the same room, but if I'm making kitchen stuff and I'm making some dinner, I still feel guilty about it, but I'm just like, well, I'm making food. So to enjoy the sandwich making. Well, your parenting is feeling guilty about absolutely everything all the time.

So I don't mind about that. Constantly. Constantly. My better half, yes, so my better half realized that this meant that there was one earbud going to. spare, and as she's never listened to any podcast, never mind the glorious contact provided by LAPS, asked if she could listen in. I happily obliged, pass the bud, and then spent the next five minutes watching her looks of bemusement, as you debated your abilities to eat 50 jack a jaffirks or 30 fish fingers.

I still think even though I'm skinny again now, I can do, I can still do 50 jafferkes. I couldn't do 30 fish fingers, like it's too meaty. I was watching a Netflix documentary about the biggest loser last night, and there was a lot of like binge eating happening with these people who've clearly got. eating disorder but I was like I've done that I can do that I've got I've got like Sarah's going I could never eat more than like two biscuits I'm like Sarah come on come on that's that's that outrageously timed deaf thing to say to you because once you get once you get it's not even about feeling full it's not even about it's the sugar and the texture

isn't it's like I want that I want that feeling again I want the feeling as it goes in over and over again I sat and ate a packet of biscuits with a glass of milk last week a whole, like nearly like half a packet of chocolate digestives. We don't usually have them in the out because that's why I never get the opportunity but fuck me they're good biscuits. Yeah, anyway. Get on with it, don't they? Get on with a job, don't they? Chocolate digest. It's not glamorous, but like get on with it.

It does, yeah. Anyway, as a somewhat unusually a 44 year old from Bradford, every other Trevor I've met has usually been a good few decades older than me. I also had quite a soft hour as a child so it would be an embarrassing bollick repeating the name when people miss her. The popular kids double act, Trevor and Simon came along just the right time,

so any teasing was deflected with a quick swing your pants. This is because we called an episode a National Trevor the other day, didn't we? Yeah, we're losing the Trevor's left, right and centre. Trevor McDonald? Yeah, I look forward to eventually get a new set episode when it will hopefully be a nice surprise if this email has made it into a future lapse. It would be remiss of me not to submit the batteries from the hotel TV remote, so without any further ado in confidence of them being new players,

I present to you, Power Flash, looks very 1960s. I should also point out to fill the blanks in again that this man who's emailed in is called Trevor, right? Yeah, we said. I didn't say that very quickly. I realised I should have said that at the top of the email. But it doesn't matter. Power Flash from Trevor, that's why he's invited. He's found it in the hotel remote.

He's in Bulgaria. Lovely old job. Yeah. Well, listen, Power Flash are also exceedingly rare. But it's not a new player because our friend Anthony sent a pair of power flashes in back in 2022. But weirdly enough, it was basically almost three years ago, but this is only the second time we've seen a power flash in its den. So there can't be many of them out there, but it's not a new player.

So it's the second one we've had in just under three years. So good effort, but not going into the battery daddy today, I'm afraid. There's so many sort of near falls and near goals this show, isn't there? Let's hope Dave has got a new player in the shape of after a recent home refurbishment. I discovered these H-cells in my various boxes. Can't remember what part of Consumer Electronica they are from, though, looking to secure my second entry in the Battery Daddy with H-cell. H-cell.

H-cell. Weirdly enough, we've had these in 13 times. Whoa, H-cell, not that rare then. No, so thanks anyway, Dave. Would you make of Dave's living room set up, by the way? It's very clean. He's gone for the podcast studio. and acoustic panelling behind the

sort of fireplaces. Is that going to accentuate the quality of sound? He's getting from his television. No doubt. No doubt. They may even have speakers integrated. I like the move, Dave. I like the sound absorption. Yeah, you've had a great time. Your house is incredibly clean. What's that on his top shelf?

Let me, it looks like a Formula One Lego car maybe. Formula One Lego car. He's built that Lego car and he wants everyone to see it. And he wants it framed in front of marble. He sometimes walks his guests in and goes, points it here and goes, what that? That's a Formula One Lego car I built.

I think he walks it around the beaches of his local area on a lead. Down his trousers. Down his trousers. And they get these stinks. What have you got? Stinks of pheromones. Stings of Formula One pheromones and aviation diesel. Listen, no new players this week.

So sad way to end the week, but we'll keep crying. A good tournament, a good tournament that said, though. Hello at Luke Pete Shaw.com if you want to have another crack at that. We'll be back on Monday where we'll be talking about at Luke's big holiday where he got sepsis on abort
