The Luke and Pete Show - You bloody fool

Episode Date: September 16, 2021

Welcome back to another episode of The Luke and Pete Show! Today we attempt to answer a number of questions on subjects as diverse as talking ducks, intelligence level needed to be a TV presenter, red hot playground slides, and bald maniacs who podcast.There's also Married at First Sight, a big long walk in Australia and lots more. Have a great weekend! To send us a missive, use [e-mail]! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

it's thursday it's the luca peach or i'm the peak part of that particular contingent and mr luke moore is joining me luke thanks for coming along thanks for hanging out in my studio do you reckon you could do this on your own what do you mean the way you said that is like thanks for coming along as in it's optional but you reckon there's very few podcasts that are just a guy speaking. I mean, that is kind of like, you know, the stereotype of the white man podcast is very much like that would be distilled down to the very sort of minimum, wouldn't it?

Like that's kind of like homeopathic levels of white man podcasts. It's not four people in a room talking about video games or films or whatever whatever this is very much like it's one person just delivering a soliloquy to fucking nobody oh having having done several radio shows live where the co-hosts were poor it's a lot harder but also that's why this show has kind of like sustained because i'm an excellent sidekick i think we had a vote at me and i was voted as your sidekick i think oh okay oh yeah you're very't we? I was voted as your sidekick, I think.

Oh, right, okay. You're very much the main event on this show. But you say that about single men talking into a mic and that's the podcast. Are you familiar with the far-right community in the United States? Yes, very. They do a lot of that.

A lot of forums. Because you look like you are. No, they do a lot of stuff down the barrel, don't they? A lot of it's TV, admittedly, but it's kind of... Oh, like the kind of Twitch, kind of like because you look like you are no they do they do a lot of stuff down the barrel don't they a lot of it's TV admittedly but it's kind of oh like the kind of twitch kind of like

you know Alex Jones kind of I sent you a video of Alex Jones eating horse medicine on Infowars yeah

that's been a problem hasn't it it's invagamictin or something yeah apparently Joe Rogan had the human version of it

and he was very he was fine he said and it's it's a bit of a problem isn't it? I find the whole Joe Rogan thing really really odd don't you? What do you mean as in like it's difficult isn't it I guess for

people to buy characters in but you've got to take everything in with him. On one hand he is hugely problematic on the other hand it's very hard to deny it appears to be what the people want oh yeah yeah

because his numbers are unbelievable I know like a few like and it's mainly like young kind of 18 year olds I know a lot of young 18 year olds

males and they always sort of like will go yeah Joe Rogan was talking about it and I'm like where are you

where have you got that why are you listening to Joe Rogan it's like the old adage like I always say to people you know partly because I'm like, where are you? Where have you got that? Why are you listening to Joe Rogan? It's like the old adage like, I always say to people, partly because I'm pretentious even though I don't mean to be

and partly because it is genuinely true. I never watch ITV for example, right? The only time I watch ITV is because it's a football game on. They have the England games for example.

And Dancing on Ice, of course. You love Dancing on Ice. It's your favourite thing. Me and me quite a lot call it that. But honestly, I genuinely say to people and I firmly believe this course you love Dancing on Ice it's your favourite but honestly I genuinely say to people

and I firmly believe this you could remove ITV from my TV and I wouldn't really it'd take me ages to notice yeah no I agree but the point is

a lot of people watch it yeah it's massive and it's the same with Joe Rogan if Joe Rogan has a guest on that I am personally

interested in so for example he's had like Malcolm Gladwell on he's had like Malcolm Gladwell on he's had like interesting people oh but that's the thing I mean it's actually really good

but it goes on way too long and then sometimes every so often he'll drop a bombshell and you're like where'd that come from in the way that you kind of in the way that like

Mark Murren built his kind of career on just having absolutely massive guests yes but if anyone looked at their figures I'd sort of go

people skip past the first hour and a half of him just talking about his failed relationships and his miserable life and playing guitar and stuff. Yeah. He was one of the original ones. I remember listening to that show quite a lot. Yeah. Well, he forged a career out of it.

It's an interesting question though, isn't it? Because it's almost, so, so I don't want to get too kind of deep about it but like news and entertainment has been massively blurred right so the idea being that um if you are if you are someone who essentially because of the way the internet's kicked everyone's arses and no one really knew what to expect and now all of a sudden the idea of chasing ratings or chasing

clicks or whatever for what is ostensibly some kind of news offering has taken arguably precedence over the actual report on the news so comment and commentary and opinion has become really big yeah that's really a difficult square to circle because you've got someone like joe rogan who he is essentially an entertainment show he's ultimately just an entertainment show but he's dishing out things that he says are factual but they're not always factual but on the other hand his listenership is gigantic

so how do you deal with that is what I'm saying you can't really it's not really it's kind of a bit of a get out of jail free card not really solving

the problem thing to try and censor it but then people also say the argument goes along another step and they say well that Milo guy that complete fucking idiot Milo

who was completely deplatformed and now he's nowhere. So maybe it does work, but is it the right thing to do? Do you know what I mean? It's a very complicated situation we've got for us. We've woven a tangled web here, Pete.

But it's never the host itself. It's always the company that has the responsibility. Like, you know, your providers, Facebook. No, but if Joe Rogan had only his own platform, he would still be huge.

Yeah, but he's built his whole uh career on someone else's platform and yes someone will sort of move in but that that money has to come from somewhere and if advertisers uh aren't up for paying for it presumably and and the kind of like the market isn't up for paying for it presumably like there's only so many coca-cololas that have the kind of finances that could finance a deal like that. You know what I mean? You need to toe the line a little bit and be palatable to pressure groups that would otherwise have you chucked off the platform,

I think. You've still got to be slightly responsible. And we've said it before, advertising is frequently, in 2021, a cause for change and a cause for good, because that is a market pressure that you can apply. You know, we can force companies into making the right decision by going through the advertising route. And it's, it's happened so many times. It's crazy. Absolutely crazy.

This is a really big long run out to say that, um, that horse medicine is making men infertile, right? Oh yeah, it is, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. So people sort of say, well, just let them do it then. Let them do it. Let them do it. Nature finds a way. Yeah, let them do it.

It's like that old, wasn't it that famous, that old monastic sect, I don't know, in like 1600s in Spain or whatever, where they were a particularly virulent, not virulent, that's the wrong word, completely wrong word, virulent, really faithful, restrictive monastery. Yeah. Where it's just men and they won't have any children. And then obviously because it just died out.

So that was the end of that. Oh, right. Maybe that's what happened with the commentariat. They didn't think ahead then. No, exactly. They didn't think ahead. So anyway,

Pete, this week, we've got, I believe, and this is really the only place we should really start, I think, people who listen to this show regularly will have been seduced and I think romanticised and actually very charmed by Long Boy. Long Boy, the duck. The great duck at that university, possibly the world's biggest duck or whatever.

But our friend Dylan has sent us in a link to a new inspirational duck, very much in the spirit of Longboy. Because I think people probably thought that their chat about ducks of note was probably over. And that Clash of the Targots doing Howard the Duck live is probably as much as it's going to go, as far as it's going to go. Not so. Dylan sent this in.

Pete, this is, I believe, a talking duck. A talking Australian duck. And this is what he sounds like. Just pause it there, Pete, because the researchers are adamant that this Australian musk duck named Ripper, Australian duck, something we call Ripper, is repeating the phrase, you bloody fool, that he's repeatedly heard other people say.

So what you're supposed to be hearing there is a duck saying, you bloody fool. And the recording sounds a little bit like it was on a wax cylinder from like the 1890s. And it's really fast. It's really fast as well. So here he is saying it a little slower. You bloody fool. You bloody fool. Now, is this a case of scientists, researchers,

doing what I believe they always do, where they get into a particular area of science, they're very passionate about it and good for them, it's really important for society as we know. And the money runs out. And they just are insistent that this is what's happening

and this is a great new area of science and as you said the money runs out and they want to get their funding yeah

no I think that is definitely the case but I don't think ducks can really mimic can they and they certainly can't mimic sound I've heard of several

birds that can but I don't remember if a duck is in there do? And they certainly can't mimic sound. I've heard of several birds that can, but I don't remember if a duck is in there. Do you prefer that duck or do you prefer a long boy? No, I prefer a long boy because he's just magnificent. He's bloody. Did you hear me bang my knee against the table? He's so excited. You bloody fool.

You bloody fool. He's a lovely little chap, though. Can I just be a little bit more controversial and say, that even if... That was saying you bloody fool, the ramifications are still quite underwhelming. What do you mean? Because we've known that birds can repeat people anyway. Oh yeah, so what are we learning out about it?

I don't know. I would want to know who's been messing with that duck saying, you bloody fool? Because if you could teach, so you can teach a budge, a budgie, to repeat words, or a cockatoo, or whatever. Other than the fact that it's just quite a novelty, and back in the 1920s people liked it as part of a circus or something, what's it actually doing?

Because a dog can fetch stuff yeah you know dogs can do stuff what are we what are we getting out of that why is it so good well it has very few uses i suppose um there's very few we can't make any money out of it no we can't teach other birds to do anything through it i yeah there's a very there's very few applications to having anyone being able to say, you bloody fool, at any point, really. Sounds quite Welsh. You bloody fool.

That sounds quite Welsh, doesn't it? Just changing trains slightly, do you remember on Monday I told you I was going to say a story about, on Monday I told you about my friend Phil who runs a guest house. Right, okay. Also, for some reason earlier today,

you and I were chatting, and the country of Bahrain came up. Bahrain? And Phil also used to country of Bahrain came up. Bahrain? And Phil also used to live in Bahrain. Duh. And he told me that his earliest memory, he was very young when he lived there, his earliest memory was being told by his parents and any adult, don't go to the playground during the day.

Yeah. Bahrain, Middle East, really fucking hot. Yeah. You can't. You can't go you just can't yeah why is the playground

even there and every kid knew that a night playground I guess it was probably a winter evening playground maybe yeah and every kid knew that

he said he maintains to me and listen this is a story that you might if you're a screamer you might not want to hear so take it on advice

from me that you might not want to hear this it's a fucking good story though he said there was a girl who about his age or a bit older who never got that advice.

Right. And just ran away from her parents, got to the top of the slide, slid down the slide and you can imagine what happened. Burned bum. Skin came off. Legs, bum, everything.

Yeah. Big burned bum. That is bad, yeah. You don't want to be leaving part of your body at the top of the slide. Do you? Well, that... that yeah that is horrific

that is absolutely horrific it's bad the worst it's bad what I don't get is why she sat on it and went yep I'm sliding

I don't think how did her body allow her to slide how I don't think if you're if you're only getting welded to the fucking slide

how are you even sliding that's what I want to know maybe your shoes would melt it's a classic it's a classic tale that someone told me might be apocryphal

tale as old as time song as old as rhyme burning on the slide yeah yeah you could fry an egg down that slide probably could

do you remember when people used to be well into it in the 80s saying that you could fry an egg on the carbonic and stuff? And you'd have a good... Carbonic would work, but I think they used to say on the sidewalk and people would do it and it was always underwhelming.

You wouldn't want to eat that egg. It's the sort of egg you'd see on top of steak tartare, uncooked. Yeah, and people would... That would be what passes for entertainment by then. And if you do it near a canal, ducks will go past and go, you bloody fool.

That's one of my children. That's one of my eggs. Do you think there was a time when it was like, your world was very small because there was no internet. Then for about five years the internet was amazing

and now it's fucking hellish. Yeah, I just want to find out things away from the internet. That's why I started a drive. But there's some... I want to visit that weird M1 porno emporium so a lot of a lot a lot of a lot of people are fond of saying that instead of exploring outer space

what the reason that the space journey that we've been on when you explore your butt yeah has been has been has been underwhelming yeah it's because finances and big decision makers on earth decided to explore cyberspace instead right so that's where all the attention went because it was so revolutionary. But in a way, that's a shame because back in the day, as a kid, if someone said something to you, you couldn't really prove it. You couldn't say,

because you'd have people who'd go, oh yeah, Michael Jackson went to my house and used a toilet or whatever. Yeah, I do have a Ninja Turtles 2 VHS that my dad got from the oil rig. No, you can go, bang, Michael Jackson's dead. It doesn't exist, mate. The film doesn't exist yet. Or, bang, the film's not been made.

You're talking fucking shit. Or, you know, whatever. Back then, there'd be no way of kind of telling people. And then for about five years, like I say, you were a big fan of saying this as well. The internet was amazing. It was. Wild West. No, it's just shit.

Yeah, and then the money men got involved. People say that same thing about Luke and Pete show now. Inspirational messages on Instagram. It's good until the money men got involved.

But anyway, listen, before we move to a break, what have you got planned for this weekend? You know what? I've given myself a weekend off. I'm not doing nothing. I said,

I'm not doing nothing. I've been doing too much. I had a week of planning videos and stuff for the old podcast festival last week. We had a lovely time. Thank you, anyone who came down for the shows. And the week before that, I was doing something. I just wanted a weekend off.

What does a weekend off look like to you? Walking a dog you have access to? Eating a lot of oysters you've got access to? Eating constant seafood. Just whelks and cockles and peppery vinegary

so you're not going to you're not going to have my birthday weekend oh when's your birthday oh it's Monday isn't it yeah yes oh we're going for a meal

aren't we yeah we are not just you and me though I would be up for that Mimi's fuming absolutely fuming she's used to it things change baby

they do baby I'm very much enjoying saying baby like the mum out of the TV show Schitt's Creek human. Absolutely human. She's used to it. Things change, baby. They do. Baby. I'm very much enjoying saying baby, like the mum out of the TV show Schitt's Creek. It was the mum out of Home Alone.

She is. Baby. There was an episode of Schitt's Creek playing out in my house yesterday. Yeah. Sweet beans, baby.

Alright, listen, on that note, let's have a little break. When we come back, we'll do some battery brands and then we'll also do a couple more of your emails. It's going to be lots of fun,

so don't go anywhere. We'll see you in a minute we're back with the luke and the pete sure we've got some uh battery brands look we've got to get through um i'm going to kick off with kyogo uh we sent in some judo batteries on twitter is that um celtics kyogo furuhashi maybe oh it'd be amazing if it was really ingratiating himself into the culture of Britain

of Lucan Pichon do you want me to do the search do you I'll do the search if you want if you want to crack on for

what was the name of the batteries the battery brand is Judo Judo I think we've had those before mate we have had

judos before on several occasions so unlucky yeah a lot a lot of things coming in about the I see you know

your judo well sir or whatever you know that guy so it's a little bit confusing but no we've already had judo unfortunately

thank you Kyogo for getting in touch and good luck for the rest of the season yeah exactly exactly get some like proper branded batteries presumably you can afford unfortunately thank you Kyogo for getting in touch and good luck for the rest of the season yeah exactly get some like proper branded batteries

presumably you can afford it Ben Holden has been in touch from Finland no less have I been to Finland no I haven't

have I been to Finland I'm always surprised when I have been which is once I'm very surprised how close it is to Russia it's weirdly close to Russia. So a friend of mine's mother is Finnish.

She's half Finnish, obviously. So I got a little bit of access into how it all works. How it all works! The language is very, very weird. I think you've got probably Denmark, Sweden, Norway are kind of their own thing. Iceland get involved a little bit sometimes. Finland and mine are a bit

in between, aren't they? Iceland's like the proper old school language and then going east, it just gets newer and newer, I suppose. Yeah, but I think the traditional categorisation of Scandinavia, I think it's just Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Yeah. Someone once told me that the way Iceland was populated was the second born sons of Denmark got pissed off

of not getting anything and went to Iceland and started their own thing. Oh, interesting. I don't know if that's true. Yeah, because like, what was his bloody name now? Some guy just united Denmark

when it was just an absolute shit pit. It was just all different kind of wards and stuff and he just kind of united everyone and he had a Bluetooth. I think, isn't it? That's where the word Bluetooth comes from. It's Harold Bluetooth, right? Harold Bluetooth, yeah.

Oh, right, that's interesting. And Bluetooth is, I can only look at history through the, you know, through mobile phone technology, it seems. But yeah, he was Harold Bluetooth and he united Denmark and we named Bluetooth after him

because that unites devices, so to speak. That is great. Great. That is great. So apparently, yeah, he had just looked at him up now. He introduced Christianity to Denmark and consolidated his rule over most of Jutland and Zealand

and ruled as king of Denmark from 958 to 986. But Ben, you fucked it, mate, because rainbow batteries have been mentioned many, many times. Okay, so that's a little bit of controversy there. There's a big bit of controversy here because although we officially said that someone, I forget who it was now, entered Carrera batteries in

and they were a new player last week, we've actually been shown a tweet saying that Ben Whitney sent in Carrera batteries on Twitter the 5th of December 2018. Oh, okay. So they weren't actually a new player, Carreras. Sorry, mate. What are you going to do?

This is a nightmare. I mean, we run this show like an absolute fucking shit show, so don't worry about it. You missed out on Ben's email he sent in Finnish. Thank you very much and keep up the great show. How do you say it? Kittos paljon ja jätkä

hva kjotta njetlesja. How did it go? How did it go? That was close. Have a go. Have a go.

Kittos paljon ja jätkä hiva trjota njetlesja. I think that V is a soft one. Tja. Tja.

Yeah, probably is. Oh, the same as that Danish thing. Okay. Look, Ben. The word for alkaline battery in Finnish is alkaliparisto or alkalisked battery. I'm loving it.

I am loving it. Ben, let us know who did the pronunciation best and we get a battery to eat afterwards. It's the most confused I've been since I went to Iceland and bought a chocolate bar which was full of licorice

yes please yeah he loved it I bloody didn't so that's the batteries do send your battery brands in we are desperate for some new players

we haven't had any for a little while because of the Carrera controversy and because of this week people have fallen short but we'll look again next week, next Thursday.

Now, email time. Let's see what we've got here. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. Here's an email from Dev. I've had this one on the slate for a while. It's about long walks. Remember we talked about the amount of steps people could do in the long walks

and all that kind of stuff? Yes. Well, Dev's been in touch from Melbourne, Australia. Nice. You've been to Melbourne? I like it. No, never been to Australia, never, Australia. Nice. Been to Melbourne? I like it. No, never been to Australia, never

dirtied my boots. No? Can't speak the language. You don't fancy Australia or New Zealand, no? Nah, it's just

Britain, but hot, innit? Well, New Zealand looks nice. It's lovely. It's all leafy and stuff. Lovely.

If you're going all the way to Japan, you should just tack something on, mate. It's only another 14 hours. So, would you like Australia, do you think? I don't think I'd like Australia, because it's only another 14 hours so would you

like Australia do you think I don't think I'd like Australia because isn't it just Britain but hot all the men

are alpha males yeah exactly and all the men can do stuff I've seen 50 first dates or whatever it's called what's that

is it where you no new bride date married first site Australia new bride date what the fuck are you talking about Sight. Australia, yeah. New bride date. What the fuck are you talking about?

It's all fucking nonsense. Why am I? I shouldn't be pillory for just throwing words at a wall. What do you reckon about Married at First Sight? Imagine if you were on that. Just a lot of modern, it's probably not what it's for, a lot of modern reality TV,

people get very serious very quickly. Yes. And I don't understand how they can sell that when they're not actors. They're not very

good at it. I'm not buying it. If I'm on Married at First Sight and you're the one they pair me up with, lots to take in.

Lots to take in. Offer battery brands. Have you seen Married at First Sight? You know who's obsessed with it?

Who? Jules. Yeah, no, Married at First Sight, so we watched Married at First Sight you know who's obsessed with it who Jules yeah no Married at First Sight so we watched Married at First Sight Australia

right the way through and everyone's just mad everyone's just absolutely mad same with 90 Day Fiancé by the way yeah all that stuff

all that mad stuff isn't there a UK variant where there was a clip going around where the this woman goes up the aisle and the groom goes

oh hello you're very pretty and then somebody shouted from the crowd that's the bridesmaid Dave that's the bridesmaid it wasn't staged it wasn't staged

fuck you I don't know where they get these people and then there was this one scene that Sarah's watching and it seemed to be going quite well he seemed like a normal bloke

ex-army and then he did one of the most horrific fucking speeches saying that he demands his fucking breakfast and he likes beans on his breakfast

like this really misogynistic piece of shit speech right really put everyone's teeth on edge and then it went back to her going

I'm just really looking forward to getting an ointment you've got an ointment he just did a horrible fucking speech he's got a bash on the head that's not ideal, is it? Not ideal.

Terrible. The same way the internet went to shit when the money men got involved, correct? Yeah, yeah. When people worked out how to monetize it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, properly. Yeah.

Brands, that kind of stuff. Or just do it again. Just go, let's do that again. I think reality TV went to shit when people realized it was an end of itself. So, for example, the first series of Big Brother

was genuinely interesting. No one knew what to expect. It was normal people. Do you know what I mean? It was genuinely a social experiment. And you could probably argue for the next few

seasons or whatever. Now, people see it as an end. Right. They think, I could be a Ryland Clark. Well, to be fair, it's gone alright for him.

He's great. But Ryland's great. He's talented. He's a good presenter. He's got a lot of charisma his charisma is underpinned by a good amount

of self-awareness and a good amount of self-deprecation so he kind of gets it and that's how he can do you this morning or your cinch adverts good luck to him

I say but he's also he's also thick enough to be a mainstream presenter which I genuinely think you have to be a bit presenter, which I genuinely think you have to be a bit empty

and not really have opinions, like strong opinions about anything that's going to get you into trouble. I think there's a certain level of really mainstream, kind of Saturday night presenter, with some varying exceptions. You have to be a little bit basic. I think you're right and I think, actually, I would go further than that. There's nothing wrong with that.

No, I would say, absolutely, there's nothing wrong with that. No, I would say absolutely there's nothing wrong with that and I would also go further and say there's a great sweet spot of intelligence and thickness that if you're in

the entertainment industry or the sporting industry you can do brilliantly well. Because what you find is if you're too stupid to do any of it obviously you're not going to do able to do it, right? You can't be brain dead thick and be a good TV presenter.

Right, but, and it's the same with a football manager. Yeah. If you're too clever, people get intimidated. You alienate people. Your jokes or your stories are a bit esoteric. It doesn't work. If you can get in that sweet spot where you're not too clever, you're not too stupid, and you look good,

and you've got a bit of self-awareness, you're away. Yeah, completely agree. You are fucking away. Completely agree. There's so many examples of that, and Ryland is a great example of it. I don't think for one second Ryland's thick. No, no. But neither is he clever.

I just think that as a presenter... Lovely teeth. Lovely teeth. I was never a good presenter, and I'm still not a good presenter, but teeth, lovely teeth. My, I'm, I was never a good presenter and I'm still not a good presenter, but the, the, the,

the time, goodness me, the times in which I kind of, um, tie myself in knots is when I'm trying to think of something clever or funny and I'm not clever or funny enough to say it. Right. Yeah. And people don't generally care about like appearing clever yeah you're overthinking

funny because you don't have to so i'm i'm i'm clever enough to try but i'm not clever enough to do so that's why i'm bad at my job mine is mine is i'm i am the exception that proves the sweet spot rule because i'm not that clever but nor am i stupid i'm still quite bad but i found the same when i was doing radio like it's it's fucking hard i was actually making the point the other day pete actually i wonder what you think about this sorry by the way dev sorry about this we will get to you in a minute um is that you know there's a show called i forget what it's called now but it's on apple tv and it's got reese witherspoon and jennifer aniston right it's a show oh about the uh breakfast show. Yes.

Like Fox or something. So that shows you in a weird way how good actors are. Because being a brilliant, competent looking breakfast show presenter on TV is fucking hard. And they're acting at doing that. They're not that. Yeah. But if they weren't brilliant at it, it would completely destroy the illusion. Yes. So that shows you in a nutshell how good actors are.

People like... Because that's a skill. So my partner is a presenter and has also done some acting. So she's ideal in those little roles where you kind of have to be... What does she find harder? I think she enjoys acting more, but she loves presenting as well. She's fucking good at presenting. She's fucking good at acting.

But she doesn't get to do enough acting. And I think that's fair. Yeah. Have you listened? I haven't seen much of her acting work, but she's a brilliant presenter. But she, and it's effortless,

but absolutely effortless. But she's very clever, which is weird. I'm going back on what I said earlier on, by the way. But when you watch people who, like she had a role in like Silent Witness, where it's a five minute thing, where she was a TV presenter outside.

She was like a newsreader outside Scotland Yard or whatever. Now, actors doing that role, it's fucking hard. Yeah. Because they're too acty. Yeah. They put too much into it.

It never looks authentic. Yeah. News readers and news anchors, they're coming at it from a different direction. 100%. They're information and stuff. So you can always tell about a poorly acted,

it's quite hard and tricky to do, I think. Yeah. My point is, you're absolutely right and I guess to explain it another way,

what I mean is, if you're a good actor and you're brilliant and they ask you to play a surgeon, you're going to be brilliant as a surgeon. They're not going to

make you actually do surgery. On the TV presenting role, they will. You have to be authentic. You have to look good. Yeah. Because you've actually got to do the job or it not going to make you actually do surgery. On the TV presenting role, they will. You have to be authentic. You have to look good. Because you've actually got to do the job or it's going to look mental. Do you know what I mean? So it's kind of interesting as an insight to how good they are.

Anyway, we always talk about presenting skills. I think probably because we wish we were both better at it. Back on radio. Dev, you're still with us. You haven't gone anywhere. It's not like a radio show. You have to hang on the phone line for about 10 minutes. Sorry, Dev Dev that's something sorry Dev mate so Dev's in Melbourne

he says a few weeks ago you were discussing the longest walks your listeners have done in a single session and finally I had something I could contribute to in 2016

a few friends and I took part in the Oxfam Trail Walker which is a yearly event taking place in many different countries you can take part in the original Gurkha Trail in Hong Kong

walk along the Via Verda of Girona or for instance hike through the rugged Australian bush we took part in the original Gurkha Trail in Hong Kong, walk along the Via Verda of Girona, or for instance, hike through the rugged Australian bush. We took part in the Melbourne event where a team of four hike 100 kilometers and in the process raise money to overcome poverty and injustice all around the world. Sounds like a great cause.

Good for you, Dev. He says, we completed the 100 kilometers in just over 30 hours. Jeez. He said, if you're interested in how many steps that was, it's accounted to 140,000 steps.

I think if I... In one go, that's a fucking lot. If my phone detected that, it'd be like, call the police. He's been dragged somewhere. He's about to be tortured.

My brother-in-law, Evan, did the most I've ever seen with my own eyes on the device. My brother-in-law, sorry, Evan, did like seen with my own eyes on the device. My brother-in-law Evan did like 92,000 in a day's hike. So 140,000 is the most I've ever seen. He says, by far the hardest part was walking through the night because time passed so slowly. And it was obviously dark between 6 p.m. and sunrise.

We also pretty much run out of games and things to talk about with each other after about 50 kilometers. And what was motivating each other just turned into into tolerate each other as the night went on three of us finished the hike one of our friends picked up too many blisters and wasn't able to go past 80 kilometers fortunately i didn't get any blisters but i did encounter a lot of chafing and bone bruising which meant i limped around for a couple of weeks afterwards i attribute this to having a decent pair of hiking boots which i did the whole walk in i recommend everyone do the same they last forever and are well worth the money i probably wouldn't do it again but it's something I attribute this to having a decent pair of hiking boots, which I did the whole walk in. I recommend everyone do the same. They last forever and are well worth the money.

I probably wouldn't do it again, but it's something I'm at least proud to say I've done in the past. Love the show. You've helped me get through many household chores over the years, so thanks for what you do, Dev. What's the deal with hiking boots? They always look very, very uncomfortable. Why would you not go for trainers over hiking boots? So the hiking shoes I've got,

they have almost like a rubber sole outer. The grip's a lot better. And they're waterproof. Right, okay. And then, so a lot of people wear the boots, which give you ankle support. I don't wear those, which is part of the reason

I fucking sprained my ankle about three months ago in a really painful way. But they're waterproof generally. They've got better grip. They're designed for walking over kind of rugged terrain. So for example,

if you just had a pair of trainers on, the cushioning would be good, but trainers aren't really meant for a bouldery, rocky trail going uphill, where you're treading on lots of different types of stones and stuff.

I'll tell you now, I've done a couple of trail walks in normal trainers, and you just feel every little stone. And it's just really painful after a while. Those ones have

got much more thicker rubber supported soles. What about Space Girls platforms? I'm wearing them. The wife I have

access to and I hiked the old man's store which isn't a difficult one but it takes you a good few hours and the weather can be

treacherous because it's on sky and some parts of it are quite tough. We saw Japanese tourists in high hills and wedges and stuff and some parts have been quite tough and we saw like Japanese tourists in like high heels and wedges and stuff

and going up about half an hour and going back again it's like what do you expect to be happening here and the one big thing I saw people making

the mistake of as well was wearing a big poncho you don't want a big poncho up on a mountain because it acts like a sail oh you get blown about all over the place you could get blown off

oh dear yeah and that's not what you're expecting is it getting blown off at the top of a mountain Pete that's not what you're expecting is it getting blown off at the top of a mountain Pete it's not what you want
