What would you do, Pete, if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor because he's hungry, and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man,
Starting point is 00:00:24 and for a little bit of money but your daddy's gone so where's the lockdown in the lockdown i ain't got a job now so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what i call life ooh with my consumption of uh strip clubs look that is my life a lot of people listening will remember that song. Yes. What they won't remember is that is an autobiographical account of your life Pete Donaldson. Yeah exactly.
Starting point is 00:00:49 It's all about me. Smoke and rock and stripping. City High Donaldson. City High. That was that band wasn't it? In and out of lockdown.
Starting point is 00:00:56 That's what they say about you. What happened? They're the sort of act that may have there was a London festival. Hello by the way
Starting point is 00:01:01 this is Luke Beecher. Pete Donaldson with you. It's the 16th of oh god August Jesus Christ and yeah we're in a situation where we're talking
Starting point is 00:01:10 about City High there was a festival at weekend before last that was in London and it was like the home of like R&B and kind of like
Starting point is 00:01:17 dancey acts and stuff and nobody turned up none of the acts turned up I remember Maya from yeah she was one of not MIA I remember Maya from she was one of
Starting point is 00:01:25 not MIA a different one no she was one of all I wanted to do was boom boom boom no no no she's actually really good
Starting point is 00:01:31 yeah she's very popular with the hipsters but this one was the one who did the Rugrats movie song and also she was part of Lady Mamalade with all of the
Starting point is 00:01:40 Christian Aguilera which I'm just a tiny little little bird hey I'm Lady Mamalade yeah I went back from the mic because I was just going to give it some all of the Cristiano Aguilera tiny little little bird tiny little bird yeah I went back from the mic because I was just
Starting point is 00:01:49 going to give it some so she was in the country she didn't manage to get there because of a COVID thing she was pinged or whatever and literally none of these acts
Starting point is 00:01:59 turned up some people just turned up and they played 10 minutes it was apparently the fire festival of London how have I not heard more about it? I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:02:06 What's this got to do with City High? It's the sort of band that would have played that or not played it in this particular case. They only had one song, City High. What happened? Creative differences?
Starting point is 00:02:16 Yeah, I don't know really. I just thought, we've come, listen, we've done what we came here to do. Yeah. You'd think that they'd have more in the tank though,
Starting point is 00:02:22 that's what I don't understand. Yeah. Confusing. Yeah, very confusing. Yeah welcome to the Luke and Pete show for a Monday and Pete how
Starting point is 00:02:29 pleased do you think I was that when I was off for a week the show came out late? Yeah yeah I mean you were in what do you call it
Starting point is 00:02:37 Suka? No what do you call it you were in when you're happy? Oh yeah. Is it Suka? You can get
Starting point is 00:02:44 Suka from something. It's like a kind of like sustenance. Yeah yeah. Sucker suka? You can get suka from something. It's like a kind of like sustenance. Yeah, it's a sucker, sucker. I was in clover. Clover,
Starting point is 00:02:49 that's it, yeah. That's annoying. You thought I didn't do anything. What do you mean? What, just look on your podcast app?
Starting point is 00:02:56 He probably does nothing, so I just carry on as I normally carry on. And it fell over because I am the organised one. You don't edit the show, I edited the show. I've organised for you to edit it. Right, I am the organised one. You don't edit the show. I edited the show.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Well, I've organised for you to edit it. Right, okay, fine, fine. I mean, what I would say is that when you click publish now and it says this has been published, there's a secret handshake there that makes you think that's probably been published. Not even that secret. Not even that secret.
Starting point is 00:03:21 It's quite obtuse. If you were going to do a secret handshake, say we had to have a secret handshake here. Wouldn't do it with the back end of certain systems that we've Not even that secret. It's quite obtuse. If you were going to do a secret handshake, say we had to have a secret handshake here. Wouldn't do it with a back end of certain systems that we've got to deal with. Wouldn't do it with any back end. Could be problematic. It's a workplace. Because you know that,
Starting point is 00:03:35 have you ever seen that video of that basketball coach? I think he's of a high school or a college basketball coach in the US. And he's got a big cohort of basketball, well, maybe, big cohort of basketball players. And he's got an individual complicated handshake with every single one of them. Yes, you see that when he teaches at schools and stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:53 And the video shows him doing it with every single one of them. He doesn't get anything wrong. What would yours be? With me? I just don't want to touch anyone. No. Can't do it in COVID now, can you? Yeah, I'd put my hand on my chest and just do a little nod.
Starting point is 00:04:04 A little Japanese bow. I'd be my hand on my chest and just do a little nod a little Japanese bow I'd be underwhelmed by that why well yeah but I'd be saying sweet nothings as I did it I'd love ah pleased to meet you
Starting point is 00:04:12 yeah it's quite Japanese yeah quite on brand quite on brand I was in the US that's why I wasn't here last week everyone
Starting point is 00:04:20 yes I didn't want to make it clear just in case you were I don't know a terrorist risk an Air Force One. I was allowed to go there. I've ticked all the boxes.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Did all the admin. Don't know the eyes. Oh and believe me there was admin. Was there. Is it a pain in the arse to get in and out and all that stuff?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Bearing in mind that whether you've got COVID it's very binary isn't it? And we've got systems that make it clear whether you've got it or not. Yeah. So why these can't be
Starting point is 00:04:42 employed at AirPods I don't know. Yeah I think to be fair, I think it's probably, so the British are being harsher about it than the Americans are. Yeah. So coming back into Britain
Starting point is 00:04:51 was quite tough. Right. And getting on a British Airways flight, because I guess all the responsibility has been devolved to the airlines. Yes. You kind of understand. That was quite tough.
Starting point is 00:05:03 So I was only able to go because I'm the husband of an American national. tough. So I was only able to go because I'm the husband of an American national. Yes. So I had to show our marriage certificate. But you had to show COVID tests,
Starting point is 00:05:10 had to show... So America won't recognise our vaccines. So they don't need to give a shit about the vaccine. That's right, okay, yes. They're coming back in, they want to know
Starting point is 00:05:16 if you're double vaxxed, they want to know if you've booked your day two test to release thing, they want to have a passenger locator form. You had to wear your mask the whole flight.
Starting point is 00:05:23 That's really interesting that they don't allow you to, that they don't accept your vaccines because you've been in a situation where, it's like you've been vaccinated. It would be quite political if they allowed, if they didn't ratify certain vaccines for America, but accepted foreigners,
Starting point is 00:05:38 the foreign version of it, so to speak. Interesting. But I think it might be because, so I don't think America distribute the AstraZeneca vaccine. No, no, no. And that's what I've got. Interesting. But I think it might be because, so I don't think America distribute the AstraZeneca vaccine. No, no, no. And that's what I've got. Yeah. So maybe something to do with that.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Actually, wearing the mask on the flight wasn't that bad. No. It actually helped me sleep better, weirdly. Do you have it over your eyes? Yeah, no, because you know that on the plane, the air's really dry. Yeah. But the mask on, it's kind of less dry.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Moistening up. Yeah, that makes sense, I suppose. It could be a coincidence, but I slept very well on both flights and it doesn't normally happen. Did, like Mr. T used to do on the A-Team, did your partner give you
Starting point is 00:06:14 a glass of milk or a beef burger? How'd I get here? You ate the beef burger. It happens every time, Mr. T. I'm an American now. Speaking of when I was an American, so something happened which I thought you might be interested in. So we went over there to surprise my father-in-law,
Starting point is 00:06:29 Elsie. Shout out, Elsie. He'll be listening. He always listens to the Luke and Pete show. I'm imagining you jumping out of a snowman even though it's summer.
Starting point is 00:06:36 It was about 35 degrees. It wouldn't be very well thought through. He'd have to get back quite quick. Yeah, yeah. No, we surprised him and he didn't know
Starting point is 00:06:43 and it was great and it was a great birthday present for him. Fun. It was his birthday. So anyway, and what we did on the first night we were there is we had a nice fire pit in the garden.
Starting point is 00:06:54 It was a beautiful evening, and the garden's big, so got the fire pit out, and Evan, my brother-in-law, Mimi's brother, is an outdoorsman. Yeah. So his job is tracking animals
Starting point is 00:07:04 in different parts of the country. He's doing, I think he's doing tortoises So his job is tracking animals in different parts of the country. He's doing, I think he's doing tortoises at the moment. But he's done loads of different stuff. Sage, grouse, all sorts of different bits. Anyway, the point is, a lot of the time it means that he has to live outside. So he's got like a converted car thing where he sleeps in his car if it's cold or whatever. Anyway, they made up a big chili and a cobbler and some corn and we cooked it all
Starting point is 00:07:25 on the open fire and it was a great evening right it was really griffon we had a lot of nice food and we'd just sit around chatting so about ten
Starting point is 00:07:32 when it was it had gotten dark and their garden's big one of their dogs Aspen legged it down to the bottom of the garden and all this commotion
Starting point is 00:07:42 started happening and to cut a long story short or or to turn a long story boring, as my dad would say, he'd killed a skunk. Oh, wow. He'd chased after a skunk like it was a squirrel and killed it. Yeah. Have you ever smelt a skunk?
Starting point is 00:07:58 No. Stinky dog now. Nothing on earth can prepare you for how much it stank so basically right if I said to you you're in a social occasion and there's a horrible smell so someone dropped their guts
Starting point is 00:08:13 or whatever I know what you're thinking because you're British so you never would have seen a skunk so you'd be thinking that's annoying it stinks oh yeah
Starting point is 00:08:21 what an annoying thing no no your eyes are going to hurt I'm going to tell you now night's over the night's over the night is over right
Starting point is 00:08:30 even though it was outdoors the night is over because the dog now smells of skunk imagine right an overpowering smell that inhibits
Starting point is 00:08:40 everything you're wearing and everywhere you're going and it stinks of rotten garlic crossed with gas going and it stinks of rotten garlic crossed with gas. Right. And it was mad.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I just was not prepared for how something natural could produce something like that. Up time skunk gonna give it to you. Don't believe me, just smell. Don't believe me,
Starting point is 00:08:57 just sniff, baby. Oh. Do you know what I thought to myself? You know when you saw the hippo get hit with the tea tray and you thought, I'm never going to see that again. I'm never going to see that again, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:06 For about five minutes, I was thinking, that's really annoying because I was having a really nice time, and now this skunk's ruined it. The second thing I thought was, I wish Pete was here to smell this. Because I'm not going to be able to articulate to him properly how badly it smelled. I mean, people listening will know. If you've got a skunk story, email it in, hello at lukeandpeach.com.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Larry, the great LC, said to me, that was only a juvenile skunk. It gets worse than that. And I was like, get out. It can't get worse than that.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Everyone get on the fire. This is a great way of describing it. It's outside. The next day, it still smelt outside. So what happened? It just popped it or something and it just went everywhere. They get scared and it still smelled outside. So what happened? It just popped it or something?
Starting point is 00:09:46 It just went everywhere? No, it gets scared. It fires that out. It just fires it out. Oh, lordy. That's horrible. But did Big Larry get his birthday fun? Yeah, he loved his surprise.
Starting point is 00:09:57 He loved the excitement of his skunk getting popped. He had some time off work, so we spent some time together. It was great. My point is just the the kind of you know the interesting part of the story
Starting point is 00:10:08 I suppose is just the fact that a skunk got involved and I wasn't expecting it part of the party yeah you see a lot of different you see a lot of different animals
Starting point is 00:10:15 around that you don't see here so you see chipmunk chipmunk they're quite cute yeah they're cute you see skunk you see raccoons yeah
Starting point is 00:10:22 which are I mean everyone hates raccoons in the US, but I've never really had my bin turned upside down by them. And I just think they're really cute. Yeah. So I'm cool with raccoons.
Starting point is 00:10:32 You get possum as well. You get all sorts. I saw a couple of turkey vultures while I was out there. Oh, weirdly, speaking about, sorry to bring it back to chipmunks, we talked about chipmunks a little while ago. A lot of them have got the plague in California.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. We talked about it on the show a couple of shows ago. Yeah. Apparently in Lake Tahoe in California, one of the beaches was closed down because a number of chipmunks tested positive for the plague.
Starting point is 00:10:58 You don't need that from Chippendale, thank you. No, and I think... No, thanks. I think given the 18 months that the world's just been through I think apparently July was the hottest month since records began Covid
Starting point is 00:11:10 forest fires in California obviously and elsewhere Afghanistan Afghanistan the fall of Kabul what else do we need
Starting point is 00:11:17 plague yeah that's just on the chart isn't it plague I'm glad I got Covid out of the way by the way a truly seismic event happened
Starting point is 00:11:25 and I'm staring at the evidence right now out the window. You drove into the office today. I did, yeah. Can I just say, when you turned up, and I hope you don't think this is me being disrespectful, when you turned up this morning, I think you looked the most stressed I've ever seen you. You looked white.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I'd just been told that one of the dogs had gone missing. Oh, he's back now though, right? Got out of the side gate yeah Buckley is he the old one yeah he loves a stroll bless him so yeah
Starting point is 00:11:50 I'm going to stop buying wicks and get a gate latch because they love a stroll right but he's back now he's fine so that's why you're stressed
Starting point is 00:12:00 not the drive no the drive is pretty stressful but it was like it took longer than obviously it takes longer than you envisage. You can't really, you know, you do two hours of driving, you're like, bloody hell, I'm knackered now.
Starting point is 00:12:11 It's really sort of concentration. It's a bit of a pain in the bum. But, and also I listened, I tried to listen to something a bit more involved, but then I just turned it over to, five hours stressing me out because of the Afghanistan airport situation. So I was like, this is horrible.
Starting point is 00:12:28 So I turned it over to my favourite radio station. A radio station, I think I might want to reinvigorate my radio career. I would like a job on Chris Country, the Christian country music station that is in the UK. That's one of those in the UK? One of them in the UK.
Starting point is 00:12:43 DAB? DAB, yeah yeah I don't know I don't know why I've got access to it but it has become rapidly my favourite station simply because
Starting point is 00:12:51 all of the songs are fucking ridiculous from start to finish fucking ridiculous they're all God-fearing songs but also drinking songs yeah
Starting point is 00:13:01 it's all about drinking too many shots and having unprotected sex but also God is good God is glory. It's very
Starting point is 00:13:10 very bizarre. I want to be clear And they're all presented by people from like Birmingham. Yeah I want to be clear with our listeners because I'm not sure
Starting point is 00:13:16 this myself. Are the songs American songs? All American songs though there are an increasing amount of bands who you know want to take the, the old country dollar, the country cousin dollar, and move out there and do shows out there and become quite big names. There's one song that really makes me laugh, and it's a little bit like the Billy Joel We Didn't Start the Fire, but for stuff what southern folks would like.
Starting point is 00:13:44 It's like, chicken on a sunday in a nice car race and it's just like this is pathetic i think that's a song i think that might be the name's gonna escape me now there was dirt on daddy's clothes it's not helping me think we didn't we had it all but we didn't have much that's a a famous song. Is it? By the son or the grandson of a really famous country act. We had it all but we didn't have much. Justin Moore.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Oh, no, it's not what I'm thinking of. There's a famous song about what would have happened if the South had won the Civil War. Right. It talks about all the things that are great about the South in the modern day.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah. So basically, it's American country song. Yes. Presented by Capital Radio DJs. Yeah. So basically, it's American country songs. Yes. Presented by Capital Radio DJs. That sounds jarring. It's bizarre. Is it jarring?
Starting point is 00:14:31 It is jarring, yeah. It is. Could you do it? Oh, it'd sound worse than them. Because they sound slick. As slick as dead as oil ranch. How do they do it? They go, What's an oil ranch?
Starting point is 00:14:43 Oh, you don't know. They go, Hello there. That's not Birmingham, is it? Coming up next. Straight an oil ranch? Oh, you don't know. They go, hello there, I, that's not Birmingham, is it? Coming up next, that's West Country.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Alright there, alright there. Coming up next on Chris Country, we're going to have Justin Moore with a song called We Didn't Have Much.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Hello, I'm Irish now. But the lyrics, do you want to hear the lyrics? I can see why that's confusing. Do you want to hear the lyrics from We Didn't Have Much? Tonka trucks and GI Joes Jumping those hills with a Luke and Bo
Starting point is 00:15:07 Plaster cap guns and a swimming hole Don't get no dirt on your church clothes It's so shit! But this is released in 2021! You could write... Fucking hell! Remember when you used to do YouTube videos for our channel? That's the kind of song you would do.
Starting point is 00:15:20 I kind of want to write a fucking country song. Dog barking in the yard at a truck we don't know All we had was us We had a little bitty house and a lot of love We had it all We didn't have much I kind of want to write a fucking country song. Dog barking in the yard at a truck we don't know. All we had was us. We had a little bitty house and a lot of love. We had it all. We didn't have much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:33 I mean, it's not great, is it? I can still hear grandma reading that red leather book of John. When I used to manage a band, right, there used to be a weird combination of, so one of them really liked pop music. One of them really liked pop music one of them really liked um like punk yeah the other one really liked like
Starting point is 00:15:49 um like power pop type kind of super furry animals yeah gawky that kind of stuff and one of them really loved um
Starting point is 00:15:58 metal like really loved metal was there a place where they could all agree yeah they used to bring all these different things to
Starting point is 00:16:03 the table it was quite interesting uh but at one point I remember one of them brought a band called Striper to the table and this was back in the day
Starting point is 00:16:13 so he made CDRs of a Striper album gave them to all of us yeah and I don't know it wasn't the kind the era where you would
Starting point is 00:16:20 just look on the internet for everything I started playing it and the album was actually an album called I think it was called Soldiers Under Command. Oh, they're like a Christian heavy metal band. And it was Christian metal.
Starting point is 00:16:31 And I remember thinking, like, this is really odd because aesthetically it's basically just like glam metal or whatever. But the lyrics are all about God. Yeah. And it's a very, very strange thing. There's something about Christian music that is... Look, I need to clarify this, because Christians obviously can make great music.
Starting point is 00:16:55 You know, amazing blues musicians, gospel, that kind of stuff. But I'm not talking about Christians who make music. I'm talking about Christian music. Yes. Which is... Difficult sometimes. Universally shit. it's always shit and I'm not even
Starting point is 00:17:09 talking about when you know you know Hellhounds on my tail Robert Johnson one of the greatest blues musicians ever that's a song about faith
Starting point is 00:17:16 but it's not a Christian blues song we're talking about DC talk yeah yeah exactly so I wonder why that is because the other thing
Starting point is 00:17:24 about it that's interesting is I do this album listening session with my friends once a week, every week, never miss it. We've done 100 records now. And what's fascinating is, one of the records we listened to was by the Congos, right? Yeah. Heart of the Congo.
Starting point is 00:17:40 It's a classic reggae record. I think it's one of Lee Scratch Perry's first productions or or whatever all of it is about it's basically christian music but become reason for some reason because it's really authentic reggae it sounds really cool yeah if if if we listened to a christian metal album i just don't think it would there'd be no i wouldn't feel there'll be any merit to it i don't know why it's cynical it can appear cynical at times I think no I don't think it does I think they're authentic
Starting point is 00:18:09 I think they believe it oh no there's just too much money in me mate that's what I mean I just don't buy country's massive well country's massive
Starting point is 00:18:16 and Christian countries are just as big I imagine but I just find the music and the reason why I enjoy listening to it and I listen to hours of it.
Starting point is 00:18:25 You know, when I'm driving, I'm all listening to it. I probably took about six hours to get in this one. It's Chris Country. And all I'm doing is listening to that. And the thing that makes me laugh is like, it's very comforting. And it reminds me of being on holiday.
Starting point is 00:18:35 It reminds me of being in like Texas or something. Yeah, I can see that. So it brings back the time when I could travel. So that's why I love it so much. And yeah, I've decided I'm going to be a big country star. The generation, I'm not sure that'll happen. The generation of us that we are is like, it's funny, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Because I drove down to the West Country a couple of weeks ago and I was flicking through the channels and I flicked onto Kistery, you know, the old school Kistery station. And they were playing, I bring you flowers in the boring rain. And it was wicked and I listened to it
Starting point is 00:19:06 for about another hour hoping for another good song to come on but one didn't I could have just put Spotify on but I didn't because the radio's different anyway
Starting point is 00:19:15 Tim Gaines recently issued a statement in regards to his departure from Striper my recent demise within the Striper camp came about because I actually have testicles.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I stood my ground when I was taught to give up the woman I love who is now my wife or get fired. What an ultimatum in 2017 for Striper. For a Christian band as well.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Christian band, I know, right? Crazy. Let it, let little, little dogs lie? Let things lie. I thought you were going to say
Starting point is 00:19:42 let love in. Let love in, guys. It's let sleeping dogs lie. Let sleeping dogs lie. But also, as we know, if they're pissed on the bed. You lie down with dogs, you get fleas. Exactly. Let's have a break, Peter. Yeah, we've got about five minutes left of this show. We're nattering like
Starting point is 00:19:56 bloody buggers. And we're back. It's the Luke and Pete show, part two, on your Monday. What have you got on the email train, Luke? Climb aboard it. Don't get your legs caught underneath the tracks, please. Will there be a buffet car?
Starting point is 00:20:11 There will be a buffet car. You're serving up more emails. Yes, please. Very expensive emails. Chicken sashimi. Raw chicken sashimi. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the email address. We are at LukeandPeteShow on Twitter and Instagram.
Starting point is 00:20:24 We don't do much tweeting or Instagramming but I mean it is worth following us for the time that we do true what a rigging endorsement
Starting point is 00:20:31 for our social media that is I've got an email here from Daniel who says good afternoon Luke and Pete I hope you're well I'm a couple of episodes behind and
Starting point is 00:20:38 I've just listened to the episode sunburnt nostrils a colleague I have access to recently ran in the Suffolk Backyard Ultra. Now, Sunburnt Nostrils, for those of you who haven't listened to that episode, is based on the fact that some people
Starting point is 00:20:53 do an ultramarathon in Death Valley. Just a quick recap. And the sun is so hot and the heat is so intense that the reflection from the asphalt on the road reflects up their nostrils and gives them sunburnt nostrils on the inside of their nose.rils and gives them sunburnt nostrils on the inside of their nose anyway daniel picks up the story again by saying a colleague i have access to yeah
Starting point is 00:21:10 as i said recently ran in the suffolk backyard ultra although it's slightly different to a usual marathon i thought you might be interested the difference is this the competitors have to complete 4.167 miles or seven 7km for your European listeners, lap every hour to stay in the race. So every hour they have to have done just over 4 miles. At the Suffolk Backyard Ultra, the winner ran for 81 consecutive hours, beating the previous record of 75 hours, or 312.5 miles. They would have to eat and take power naps
Starting point is 00:21:45 between laps in order to keep running. A remarkable achievement of human endurance, Daniel. I mean, that is incredible. I mean, that's, that is... I think something should be taken out of people's hands. I don't think you should be allowed to do that. You shouldn't be allowed to do that, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:22:02 So Pete, on that basis, so 4.1 miles an hour isn't that tough. That's a fast walk. Right. To put it in perspective, if I go out for a walk, I normally do about three and a half miles an hour. A lot of people will do four miles an hour.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I remember Sir Ian Botham, used to famous on his long walks to John O'Groats, used to do about four and a half miles an hour so what I'm saying is it's not an unachievable walk
Starting point is 00:22:29 knowing that what could you do I could do well I'll do three then no but I'm saying how many hours could you go for oh
Starting point is 00:22:38 in the current shape you're in oh god three maximum three hours yeah you reckon three hours just walking oh I'd be done In the current shape you're in? Oh, God, three maximum. Three hours? Yeah. You reckon?
Starting point is 00:22:47 Three hours just walking. Oh, I'd be done. I wouldn't be able to walk for the rest of the month. But yeah, I think I can do three hours. You could do more than that. I couldn't. I couldn't. I'm not very fit, Luke. That's why I got a car.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I reckon I could do... I reckon I could probably do eight. Right. Eight hours. All right, we'll start now and come back. A day's work. I don't think... I mean, I did about a 30-kilometre walk in the lakes
Starting point is 00:23:09 with Mimi a while back. Admittedly, I wasn't checking my pace, but at the same time, it was a lot of undulating hills and stuff. I reckon I could do eight. I mean, let's agree that 81 is mad. Yeah, no, that's... Because that is 24.48.
Starting point is 00:23:21 That's three and a half days. But what's the power naps between laps? How long are they? I guess if he's doing four miles in an hour, I guess what he's probably doing is he's running, say he's running
Starting point is 00:23:32 at eight minute miles, he can do the miles in what, 40 minutes? Yeah. And then do 20 minute nap, I guess. Nap, right. Yeah, because I find
Starting point is 00:23:41 that you can nap for like five minutes and back on top. It's funny that, isn't it? Do you remember that TV show, that show they had back in the day, they'd never been able to do it now, called Shattered,
Starting point is 00:23:50 where it was like you stay up for as long as you can. Right. And the one who stays up the longest... Wins. Basically gets a big prize, a lot of money at the time. You'd start being quite delirious after that, wouldn't you? So it was in 2004, I was looking it up now,
Starting point is 00:24:06 the 10 contestants were challenged with going in without sleep for seven days while their actions were constantly monitored. Over the seven days, the 10 housemates had to endure daily performance testing and a variety of challenges, and they were competing for a potential prize for under £100,000. But if they closed their eyes for over 10 seconds, any of them, £1,000 was taken from the pot. But you could kind of them, £1,000 was taken from the pot.
Starting point is 00:24:28 But you could kind of surely open your eyes, because some people can just sleep without their eyes closing, no? It's not great, though, is it? It's not ideal. One of the things that, so this is the interesting thing, one of the things that came off the back of it and why I don't think it'll ever be done again
Starting point is 00:24:39 is apparently, although research had been done into the effects of sleep deprivation, no one really knew what to expect. And there was a lot more hallucinating than they thought. Yes. Yeah, yeah. You got loopy after a while, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:24:52 Contestant Chris believed himself to be the Prime Minister of Australia. Yes. Dean and Jonathan were convinced their clothes had all been stolen. And Claire began telling fabricated stories of when she was arm wrestling Irish boxer Joey Ruin,
Starting point is 00:25:07 none of which happened. Lovely. And finally for now, Jimmy became irrationally angry when the others refused to put on their Japanese armour and play with an imaginary ball. That sounds like an excellent shot. So the winner endured 178 hours of sleep deprivation.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Right. There we go. That's just too much, isn't it? I wouldn't want to do it. No amount of money could get me to do it. No. I mean, you just know for a fact that if you had heart palpitations in the next month,
Starting point is 00:25:32 you'd be like, well, I've fucked it, haven't I? I've absolutely fucked it. I think you probably have to be a little bit weird to agree to do it. And the other thing they did apparently as well is they did an hour-long challenge every day where one person had to do a challenge for an hour, which essentially was designed to help them go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like counting sheep on TV was one of them, listening to a bedtime story, cuddling a giant teddy bear, and a face massage. But you would, oh, mate. But you would, that's the thing about sleep. There is nothing more delicious than sleep when you know that you're allowed to go to sleep. But you would... That's the thing about sleep. There is nothing more delicious than sleep when you know that you're allowed to go to sleep. But you know what's interesting, Pete?
Starting point is 00:26:08 It's a really interesting reflection of what the internet used to be like in 2004. Yeah. Where it was that Wild West kind of quite quirky, really interesting place before it's become that total hellscape that it is now. That TV's like a reflection of that because although that's probably quite dangerous
Starting point is 00:26:21 and maybe, you know, I don't know the science behind it, but perhaps rightly so it shouldn't be done again and created by people who don't sleep due to chemicals yeah
Starting point is 00:26:29 the executive producer was like I don't fucking sleep anyway but it's at the very least it's an interesting idea for a TV show
Starting point is 00:26:37 right isn't it I mean it's quite a cool thing well did you did you watch you probably didn't watch the clip
Starting point is 00:26:42 I sent you a documentary a Japanese TV show I can't watch just to I sent you, a documentary Japanese TV show? I can't watch, just to put it in perspective, and everyone listening will realise why, I can't watch anything you send me unless I'm on my own. Well, that's fair, but, I mean, the WhatsApp preview was a link to Dailymotion,
Starting point is 00:27:00 which doesn't hold hardcore pornography, however much you look. No, it's not about hardcore pornography, it's about the fact that you might it might be something really weird and inappropriate well it was called Documentals in Olympic
Starting point is 00:27:10 yeah that's probably why I didn't click on it I'm watching Boardwalk Empire with my wife I'm not clicking on that good show great show
Starting point is 00:27:18 oh but if bloody oh no no no I've not finished it yet what? I'm only three episodes in don't be piping up with anything Donaldson it's just Game of Thrones
Starting point is 00:27:26 all over again you and your bastard dragons oh dear alright then yeah basically it's a TV show where a lot of Japanese comedians
Starting point is 00:27:34 are just in a room by themselves right and they have to make each other laugh by doing like little jokes and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:27:42 and the first person to laugh gets thrown out nice until the winner is... Do it on this show. Yeah, exactly. Be there for eight hours. But this guy's one little skill,
Starting point is 00:27:54 he calls it the... He calls it the In Olympics. And it's basically a room full of very unhealthy looking men. And this guy, probably the least unhealthy looking man, a Japanese chap, big, uh, glasses. Yeah. Um, So any of them laugh, they're out.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Yeah. Yeah. So this, uh, He's trying not to laugh now. It's everyone's trying not to laugh. After this man has done this thing with his body. Um, here we go. Look. So this man, uh, thing with his body. Here we go, look.
Starting point is 00:28:27 So this man is trying to make people laugh by doing the following. He's taking his top off. He's wearing red briefs. Red pants. Yeah. Can someone say, ready, go? You'll figure out the rules. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Ready, go. He's a man. He's just pulled out his pants really quickly and just spread his cheeks. Yeah. And he's called up the N-Olympics and the alarm's gone off because someone's been spotted laughing, basically.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I would not be able to not laugh at that. No. And some of them are... One man was laughing at him because he had a toilet roll in his cheeks. One man is pretending he isn't laughing so he tries to turn it
Starting point is 00:29:07 with a yawn. He's decimated the field there. What a power move. What a power move. Pull down the kegs, just pull it apart and then look. People were expecting
Starting point is 00:29:15 something different. They were. That's why. Yeah, they were. That's the key to great comedy isn't it? Expectation versus reality. Or just show them your anus.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah. Let people look up your anus. Get your bum out. Get your bum out. That's about all we've got time for for today's Luke and Pete show. How could we possibly follow that? your anus. Yeah. Let people look up your anus. Get your bum out. Get your bum out. That's about all we've got time for for today's Luke and Pete show. How could we possibly follow that? What an ending.
Starting point is 00:29:30 In many ways, it was entirely predictable that it would end with a Japanese man getting his bum out. Not just the bum though, is it? It's the anus. It's the anus. I mean,
Starting point is 00:29:39 you just feel like you're a bit assaulted when you see a man's anus. Yeah. You just do I can remember once being on a WhatsApp group squeeze this in before we go so to speak
Starting point is 00:29:49 a WhatsApp group where I was supposed to go on the Stag Weekend and I couldn't go for whatever reason it was years ago but I was left on the WhatsApp group yeah
Starting point is 00:29:57 and so all the stuff that was happening was contextual to them in whatever Eastern European city they're in yeah but it wasn't to me yeah
Starting point is 00:30:04 at one point photograph of an anus anyone you recognise? loads of laughing emojis for everyone else for me I'm just sat in the office context is everything
