Starting point is 00:00:31 My name's Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore. Now, on the show, last we spoke about Ben Shapiro again, because we have to. Every single episode has to contain Ben Shapiro. We talked about the sponsorship deal we've got. Criminals. Criminals on the lam, on lam on the run going air wall and all kinds of stuff but um there's still quite a few news stories that have happened since i've been away in japan um tell us about this fucking concrete thing luke i i don't know what the issue is really
Starting point is 00:01:02 well okay i wasn't expecting this but i'm gonna do my story right basically um a load of I don't know what the issue is, really. Well, okay. I wasn't expecting this, but I'm going to do my best. So basically, a load of buildings in the UK and elsewhere, I believe, are filled with this stuff called rack concrete, right? It's like aerated concrete. I think it's cheaper. It's easier to use. But it's only got a kind of shelf life it's got a very limited shelf shelf
Starting point is 00:01:26 life when compared to like other buildings made of um concrete right and um surprisingly i mean this will complete but you'll be pleased for sitting down sitting down for this one um a lot of chickens have come home to roost because people have gone we'll just make this out of rack concrete and not worry about it and in 30 years we'll be long gone so it doesn't matter. And those 30 years have come around and it turns out hospital buildings, schools, etc, etc, are made of it.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And it's a problem. Now, I don't think, I think I'm right in saying that rack concrete per se is not an issue in principle. It's not like you can't ever use it. It's legal to use it and stuff. But I think it involves a certain amount of legal to use it and stuff but i think it
Starting point is 00:02:05 involves certain amount of maintenance and waterproofing and other stuff that comes along with it which i just don't think's happened because of course in this country schools hospitals these kind of buildings they're very under i mean these organizations are very underfunded and so you've got a load of schools that are um having to close and the pubis not safe for pupils to be there you've got hospitals it's 14 nhs hospitals that are affected to close and it's not safe for pupils to be there. You've got hospitals. It's 14 NHS hospitals that are affected by it. There needs to be some rapid kind of repair work done there. So it's just like the life cycle of the building
Starting point is 00:02:36 ends at a certain time and you have to replace the concrete. I think it's a maintenance issue. And they just sort of went, we can't, we didn't factor this in. What I suspect is the case is that the private sector just runs roughshod over everyone and there's no effective government regulation to drain it in
Starting point is 00:02:55 because there's no effective government in this country. The government in this country isn't really a government, is it? It doesn't set any policy agenda. It doesn't control anything, really. It's just a lame duck kind of psychodrama, and we're all just holding our breath until the election, in which case the country will fuck us again, probably,
Starting point is 00:03:16 because half the complete fucking idiots in this country will vote for the Tories every time or ensure some kind of hung parliament or something like that, and it'll go to shit again. But I feel like it's like, it's quite dystopian. If you look at,
Starting point is 00:03:29 so that's the issue. That's in very broad brushstrokes. I'm not a fucking, you know, I'm not a structural engineer. I'm not an architect. I don't know about it in any more detail than that. But what I do know about,
Starting point is 00:03:39 I think, is the way the government have kind of responded to it and the way they've responded to it in terms of their communications through social media and stuff like that has actually been really dystopian. I mean, did you see the Home Office's... I think it was the Home Office. Whatever government department is responsible for this
Starting point is 00:03:56 put a tweet out with a graphic saying almost quite literally, good news, most schools are unaffected. It's like, it's not really the point though, is it? No. And these kind of like, I don't know why they bother putting this stuff out. When that prisoner was on the loose
Starting point is 00:04:18 that we spoke about last week, I think the CPS and a police, some kind of police organisation were having a kind of like a jovial chat via their Twitter profiles at one point. Sort of going, yeah, we're working really hard to do this. And they're going, yeah, you stay in there, darling. Why do they feel like they have to do this?
Starting point is 00:04:41 Yeah, and also the other thing I would point out about the RAC thing specifically as well, is just that this is a story that broke a couple weeks ago and um if you go on say the bbc website now they've got a section on it i guess because people are worried about their kids schools and stuff i mean as recently as like a day ago they're finding they found two more schools have to close because of it in w. Two venues in Peter have had to close down. A couple of days ago, a big leisure centre in Carlisle have had to cancel a load of events
Starting point is 00:05:16 because they're kind of worried about it. It's like a continuing thing. And I think it's a really interesting metaphor for what's happening in the UK at the moment, right? What better metaphor could you get? These chronically underfunded things. I'll tell you, the only one better that could happen
Starting point is 00:05:34 is to tie this whole thing together is that a prison would fall down and all the prisoners would escape because of rock concrete. It really is depressing how far we've fallen as a nation. And I wonder, I just wonder if this would have happened had you not gone to Japan, Peter. I think it's a really kind of like pastoral, avuncular role
Starting point is 00:05:55 that you perform just by being present in the country at times of crisis. Yeah, I like the cross in the... Where did the cross go? The tower. Yeah. I would... And it was kind of stark. There was a guy who I used to work with,
Starting point is 00:06:09 he used to talk about America like it was like the best place ever. And he would sort of go, because America's a proper country with proper stuff happening in it, proper country. And he went over to America to be a radio DJ and he, you know. He wasn't, it's so it was.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Found it quite difficult difficult Ian Camfield thank you very much nice nice blog but very much has a very quaffed kind of
Starting point is 00:06:33 kind of style of presenting let's say and he sort of he's very careful about how he's how he's regarded I think
Starting point is 00:06:40 and he always spoke about how cool America was and he gets out there and you know he works for K-Rock for a couple of years and then his shit can and and and working elsewhere now but um so like he he managed to sort of make the move and stuff and you know america is the best place in the world but i do go to japan i do go there's not a single train that doesn't um leave on time there's not a single bit of public infrastructure that is falling down everything is maintained
Starting point is 00:07:05 every there they have that kind of is it mccarthy who had the whole kind of like over over um uh over employment so to speak so like you you walk past any kind of like car park there is a man sometimes two men with um lit up um light sticks waving um drivers out of the um out of the car park and onto the road like everyone's got a job um it is horrific for minorities women and the rest but that side of actually the the the entire structure of society and the infrastructure working it just works maybe it's because they're just beset by like loads of earthquakes so their buildings have to be up to code but everything sort of works because it has to work and everyone's employed and everyone seems to have a job and
Starting point is 00:07:58 unemployment is is is very uh is very low homelessness is very low. Homelessness is very low. The welfare state isn't great. You've got insurance to use the hospitals and stuff. But as a functioning society, everything works. There's barely any crime and all the rest. It's stark to see what situation you come back to.
Starting point is 00:08:22 And we sound like such old bastards. You speak to any person who's under 30 and you sort of go, right, where do you think we're all going? They can see it clearer than anyone else. I have no aspirations for my career, my life, owning my own home, because it's all going to shit and we've been robbed blind by successive Conservative governments. Yeah, I think you don't need to
Starting point is 00:08:46 be like an old person just doing the old Uncle Albert back in my day thing. I mean, the UK has fallen to, I think, 22nd in the quality of life index. It's below Slovenia.
Starting point is 00:09:02 It's below Qatar. It's below Estonia. Is it around Albania? Is Albania kicking around? Albania, I can't see them on the list, but you may well be right. And so you can use your own experiences to understand that things are poor.
Starting point is 00:09:20 The example would just be that if I get in my car to drive somewhere i'm very fortunate to have a car i like to think i've worked hard to earn the money to have a car but nevertheless i understand i'm fortunate to have a car right it cost me about 100 quid to fill it up right it cost me all sorts of fucking issues with all the potholes in the road right okay well i don't want to i don I have to park somewhere, I'll pay a conjecture, whatever. You just...
Starting point is 00:09:47 I understand that, like, you have to pay for things, but, oh, you decided you don't want to get in your car, so you want to get public transport into work. Okay, well, the train's not on time. It cost me an absolute bomb to get there. I want to go to the hospital to help, to get something done. Well, it's full of rack, so it's falling down.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I need to check what school to send my kid to because that's the same problem um you just feel like you just get robbed over and over again for nothing that actually works i'm actually a fairly i'm a very happy taxpayer i'm not one of these people who you know once doesn't want to pay tax i get it i'm happy to do it i think i want to pay tax i can't afford it you're not paying tax because you go on your holidays instead and i think people understand that but but the point is if you're not getting anything to show for it it obviously makes it it's a bit different i'm not complaining about tax per se i'm complaining about the fact that
Starting point is 00:10:34 you don't get anything for it which is a completely different argument so yeah i think we're in a really bad state i maintain the last time britain did anything good was the um the olympics in 2012 yeah okay yeah and it's been it's been a good old slide since then really 11 years and counting the last time Britain did anything good was the Olympics in 2012. Yeah, okay, yeah. And it's been a good old slide since then, really, hasn't it? 11 years and counting, baby. So it's not been great. I think if you had stayed here, we would have avoided it all, I think.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah. Because you'd have done your thing. While you were away also, there was a great story you'd like to look of. I don't know if you saw it, because I do understand that you still have the internet in Japan. Excellent internet. great story you'd like to look of i don't know if you saw it um because i do understand that you still have the internet in japan um did you hear about um excellent internet yeah did you hear about the um the archaeologist who found um 195 year old time capsule oh no that's interesting i mean as time capsules go they're only ever like 30 years aren't they um and they've been jammed
Starting point is 00:11:24 in the ground by a school. But that's a good amount of time. Well, this was 195 years old and was discovered inside the base of a monument dedicated to a Revolutionary War soldier during renovations at West Point, which is the military academy in New York State, I believe, last May. Right. So the officials who discovered it thought that they'd placed the box inside the monument in
Starting point is 00:11:49 1828. So rather than just fucking get on with their job, they said, here's what we're going to do. We're going to have a big press conference, and we're going to get all the current cadets at West Point to do a big poll and survey about what they think's in it.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It's almost 200 years old. What can you think of? You know, people were saying, oh, it's probably got an American flag in it. It's got some old military army boots in it or whatever. Right. Yeah, jewellery, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Guess what was in it? Cum. Oh, so you did see the story. Did see the story. Yeah. It's only a little bit better than that. Right. It was full of silt.
Starting point is 00:12:29 There was nothing in it. Well, I mean, someone must have put the silt in there. But the guy opened it live at a press conference in front of a load of experts and the world's media. And then all he could say was, I'm afraid it's not quite met expectations. Imagine being in that moment when you open it up and it's empty. Emptying it out and it's just full of soil.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Just full of... I mean, did something... Was something in there beforehand? Has it been robbed? They said at the moment the best guess is... Disintegrated. That moisture got inside it and disintegrated everything. Particularly if it was something made of paper or made of wood or something like that, it would have disintegrated over that time.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I liked my favourite reply on the story on Twitter was, there was a cat in there, but you opened the box. Yes, exactly. I would say that with stuff like that is whenever there's a time capsule, there's never anything good in there. never put anything good in there you put like a you know a cd version of the cartoons whatever is it what would you put in the time capsule now um i'm very fond of um tinned octopus from uh sainsbury's um probably put one of them in. An example of the things we eat now. A joint time capsule for us.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I'd put Elon Musk in one. Right, okay. Well, I mean, we can't put people in there. Elon Musk and a lower tinned octopus. So it basically accentuates and elongates his misery because he could always eat the octopus to survive a bit longer, didn't he? You're right.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I don't think there's anything ever... The thing with this one is it's reasonably interesting because it was situated so it could have been it could have been a really interesting historic souvenir
Starting point is 00:14:12 from the war of independence or the civil war something like that right and it turned out to be absolutely fuck all which is really
Starting point is 00:14:18 the biggest example of expectation not being in reality that you can think of crazy story while you're away also a couple of things I wanted to bring up finally was that Example of expectation not being in reality that you can think of. While you're away, also, a couple of things I wanted to bring up finally was that I watched a couple of good TV things while you were away. Oh, right, yeah. 2 a.m. while the baby sleeps?
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yeah, he goes to bed pretty regularly now. You normally get a couple of hours before you need to go to bed, so that's good. And the first one I'll just gloss over, because I'm not sure it will be a huge amount of interest to you, but to our listeners it may be. There's a Storyville documentary called Eight Bar, The Evolution of Grime. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And they've got all the big protagonists in the grime movement, which is really kind of very, very influential and is now kind of absolutely present in a lot of music you hear today as well. Yeah. And it charted grime from its kind of origins in the kind of jungle and garage movements and starting off in basements
Starting point is 00:15:07 in like East London in Bow, for like disenfranchised, disadvantaged, angry youths, basically. And it charts it all the way to Stormzy
Starting point is 00:15:15 headline in Glastonbury. It's a really interesting thing. A lot of great names in there. Dizzy Rascal's in there. Kano's in there. Skepta. Tinchy Strider.
Starting point is 00:15:23 All those kind of types are all in there. Very, very good. It's on Storyville. Available to watch on the iPlayer now for our British listeners. Very, very heavily recommended. But the thing I watched and I finished yesterday, which I thought you'd be interested in, I think you probably already know a bit
Starting point is 00:15:37 about it, is I finished watching One Piece on Netflix. Oh, right. Okay, the old Japanese anime conversion. Is it good? I thought it was fucking fantastic. I thought it was brilliant. What?
Starting point is 00:15:49 Is he a little sailor or something? What's his vibe? It's about a guy, a kid, I guess like a teenage kid called Monkey D. Luffy who's like a,
Starting point is 00:15:58 he wants to be king of the pirates. Right. And so he sets about putting a crew together to try and find this piece of treasure called the One Piece left by the old king of the pirates who died called Old Roger. Right. And so he sets about putting a crew together to try and find this piece of treasure called the One Piece
Starting point is 00:16:05 left by the old King of the Pirates who died called Old Roger. Right. It's just about all these different kind of things that happen along the way. He puts his crew together. He's got the Marines chasing him. There's loads of kind of good versus evil stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:17 But he's really, he's really the kind of, the moral epicenter of the show. So he's like, he's very positive. He loves people. He doesn't, he always trusts them. He's kind of the moral epicenter of the show so he's like he's very positive he loves people he doesn't he always trusts them he's kind of like very clearly and obviously the kind of the moral kind of arbiter of what's good and what's bad and then a reason i liked it is because i don't have any knowledge at all of the um the anime or the manga before that i think it's based on the manga before that um but it's i read before's one, I think it might even be
Starting point is 00:16:45 the most valuable piece of IP in the world that's yet to be converted. Yeah. So there's obviously a huge amount of expectation that came on it. I mean,
Starting point is 00:16:53 they were kind of looking at that and thought, this is going to be an absolute disaster. But I think it's been generally received quite well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I would recommend it. It's really beautifully put together. It looks great. It feels like it's, people who know more about it than me recommend it it's really beautifully put together it looks great it feels like it's people who know more about it than me have said it's more it's kind of more faithful
Starting point is 00:17:11 than some of those earlier ones like Cowboy Bebop and Death Note and stuff it's really honestly very good and it's just been
Starting point is 00:17:18 commissioned for a second season which I think is good it looks great it's very nicely paced it's almost a bit like I would say
Starting point is 00:17:26 if Pirates of the Caribbean was set in more of a fantasy world had likeable characters and wasn't
Starting point is 00:17:34 too preoccupied with like really boring kind of love story bits and and crap romantic subplots
Starting point is 00:17:42 it's very very good it's obviously got this idea, this fantasy element to it, this Japanese element. So all of them are brilliant. They're like martial arts
Starting point is 00:17:49 and they have a lot of fights. And Luffy, who's the main character, has got magical powers and the other people they meet have got different magical powers and so they have to fight against them. It's not going to change your life. It's not going to make you think
Starting point is 00:18:03 about what it means to be human, but it is a great romp through a great looking fantasy world, I'd recommend it very very much. Oh there we go at least it's one of those things because anime I think I've watched I don't watch a lot of that stuff
Starting point is 00:18:18 at all, I like Captain Tsubasa the soccer based anime and I've watched a bit of that but it's not really something soccer based anime and I've watched a bit of that and but it's it's not really something
Starting point is 00:18:28 it's not really something because the thing and when I speak to like dads who their kids get into anime it's really funny because they will
Starting point is 00:18:38 start watching the Japanese anime and it's really like it has like a lot of like great lessons about honesty about honor about pride yeah yeah but because the japanese because in the japanese anime original um there's always a pervert there's always an old man pervert and and that's not something that you
Starting point is 00:18:59 will probably see in the netflix adaptation but i almost guarantee the original one piece if anybody knows it how many pervy characters are in it there's always a dirty old pervert who's this sage but he likes looking up lasses skirts there's
Starting point is 00:19:12 always some fucking weird Japanese stuff that you go oh what is wrong with you what is wrong with you no it wasn't any of that in it it was
Starting point is 00:19:19 very wholesome it's actually a little bit kind of frightening and a little bit brutal in parts but I just thought it was really well done. Yeah, nice. As I keep saying, it looked fantastic as well.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Really, really good. So I would recommend that. I mean, that's not exactly it. Did you see the guy, one of the head honchos of whatever massive conglomerate owns the rights to Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter? I presume it's, I don't know. I was at the same people. I thought that was different people. I think the ones who own the Rings and Harry Potter. I presume it's... I thought they were the same people. I thought they were different people.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I think the ones who own the movie rights, basically. They said, we haven't done enough with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. We haven't released any new films or TV about Lord of the Rings in 15 years or whatever. And somebody pointed out, you did one last year, you dickhead. Yeah, Rings of Power.
Starting point is 00:20:04 You literally did one last year, you dickhead. Yeah, Rings of Power. What are you talking about? You literally did one last year, you penis. There's definitely talk that I think that a lot of people are unsatisfied with the Harry Potter movies. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I think there's some TV stuff in development for that. Which I mean, makes perfect sense because if you look at the way they've been able to squeeze, really squeeze dry the Star Wars universe
Starting point is 00:20:23 and the Marvel universe and all the rest of it. I mean, really, Harry Potter and Lord of the and all the rest of it. I mean, really, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings should definitely be doing that. I thought Rings of Power was a bit of a bust, personally, but I mean, I know a lot of people liked it. My wife really liked it. It was very, very slow-paced, and it came out around the same time as something else quite fast-paced,
Starting point is 00:20:38 and it just made it look a little bit kind of pedestrian, I felt like. I mean, a lot of people who properly love Lord of the Rings, they kind of love that. They love the world of it. They love the kind of immersive nature of it. I don't think they really care
Starting point is 00:20:49 about the pace of it. So maybe it was, it's probably me just talking shit. But there's definitely room for something to come along and replace Marvel, which is so tired now.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I thought that Dungeons and Dragons movie was really good. And I noticed that they've got a Paramount Plus series coming out as a sequel. But the thing is, the bad thing about how Hollywood seems to work, and you might know more about this than me, Pete, is the reason they didn't commission
Starting point is 00:21:14 another movie of Dungeons and Dragons is because they put it out the same weekend as the Mario movie, so it didn't do very well. So they couldn't tickle their boxes to make another one. So why did you do that? So they're doing a Paramount Plus series instead. I think that I predict that that will actually do really well
Starting point is 00:21:29 and that will start to kind of build momentum, I reckon. But anyway, what are we doing? Are we having a break and then doing batteries? Break, batteries, boys on tour. Come on. Go back to school with Rogers

I stayed in so many Rio Cans and hotels and all kinds of stuff where there were like little air con controllers and stuff and not one did I open to have a look inside. So Dr. Healy, I need to sort of get involved and start enjoying the battery bounties. You've got to be the example that you want to see, mate. You've got to live the change.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Exactly, true. I can't complain about not having enough talented English youngsters if I'm not willing to develop them, so to speak. Absolutely. Good to know well done cheers mate
Starting point is 00:22:47 Dave has got in touch do you look disappointed with the lack of bang and fizzle these days from my executioner
Starting point is 00:22:52 electric bug bat I decided to try a change of batteries the executioner electric bug bat is something that myself and Luke
Starting point is 00:22:59 both own I don't know where mine is there was a big old blue bottle floating around mine's powerful enough to kill flies but it won't kill a wasp it won't kill a wasp after about three goes mine is there was a big old blue bottle floating around mine's powerful enough to kill flies
Starting point is 00:23:05 but it won't kill a wasp it won't kill a wasp after about three goes it is a wasp really wow opening up the duct tape battery case top notch build quality
Starting point is 00:23:14 on first use revealed the curiously named sourcing for you S-O-U-R-C-I-N-G sourcing for you double A new batteries didn't help
Starting point is 00:23:24 with the bat uh many thanks and mild praise for the excellent output um i very much like uh and endorse uh people taking pictures of their batteries in front of their dog uh in this case it's dave's dog rufus nice to see a dog looks like a lovely spaniel um it's just nice to see a dog anyway but also if you take a photo of that nature it does really imply that you've got a battery-powered dog, which is interesting. Yes, correct, yeah. I mean, my dog's had a couple of gores at a battery
Starting point is 00:23:51 that he's found on the floor, and it turns out there's a lot of unbelievably awful-looking heavy metal black powder that comes out of them when a dog bites into it, and it really puts the shits up, yeah. How will your dogs enjoying you being home again yeah I think Sammy is kind of
Starting point is 00:24:08 coming to terms with me being back in his life instead of Frank Sarah's dad and yeah we're getting along
Starting point is 00:24:15 famously aren't they supposed to be famously very well aren't they very happy to see you normally oh yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:24:23 he went absolutely mental he got so excited this morning, he was sick. So that's how it is. All right. Sourcing for you batteries, Dave. Thanks for sending those in. Thanks for the picture of your dog.
Starting point is 00:24:35 And thanks for telling us about your bug bat. Unfortunately, they're not real players. Sorry, they're not new players. They are, of course, real players. They're not new players. Our friends Cassia and Josh have both sent them in before. Cassia sent them in way back in June 2018. Josh sent them in in April or March,
Starting point is 00:24:51 about March, April last year. So you are only the third person to send them in, but they're not a new player, Dave, I'm afraid. Cassia, nothing but... I would say that Cassia does sound a little bit like a battery. Yeah, I think she's a person. I may be wrong, but I think she's. Yeah, I think she's a person. I might be wrong, but I think she's a person. I think she's a person.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Hello to Brad, who's got in touch. Durata Brad. It's often what I shout when I'm annoyed. Thanks for that. Sorry for the brief message last time. The internet's patchy at best in Africa. I'm now in Mozambique after shouting Durata the whole way here on some rickety bus which was stacked to the roof with grain, people and chickens.
Starting point is 00:25:27 The partner I have access to and I are travelling the world, baby. I'll keep you updated on our next countries through the mutual love of batteries. I never knew I felt this way about the plus and minuses of power cylinders, but like most things I hear you talking about on the pod, we have a lot in common. I hope this one I've found is Bolska. It can be added as a new player as from the uh guangdong bolska battery company limited and contains zero percent mercury good stuff as pete would say i do repeatedly say good stuff when i can't think of anything to say goodness me and goodness me yeah yeah um you also got iii as well. Oi, oi, oi. And I've noticed that coming back from Japan,
Starting point is 00:26:05 I do sort of go with a stern, uh, uh, uh, uh. Yeah, like, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. Needlessly. That's because of your recent travails, is it? Bolska. Okay. Is it a new player?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Thank you very much to you, Brad. Bolska are a new player. Congratulations. Lovely. Well done. Lovely looking battery as well red and black slight warping on the
Starting point is 00:26:29 plastic sheath yeah very good to see very well used battery nice to see nice Chantal has come in with
Starting point is 00:26:37 Plow long time listener first time battery submitter I found a plow in our TV remote while staying on a cruise ship. The TUI Mein Schiff 5, sailing the Adriatic Sea. New player, yeah or nah.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Much love from Germany, Chantal. Excellent, not cuticle, what do you call it? Just general manicuring. We always talk about solid handwork. Nice clean hands. Nails looking good, Nick. Nice. Nice presentation
Starting point is 00:27:08 of the battery as well, crucially. Exactly. Beautiful. Just in the cusp, in the little reservoir between the third and fourth finger,
Starting point is 00:27:17 resting gently on a wedding ring. It's a classic pose. Absolutely classic. Fantastic. Plough are not a new player though, I'm afraid, Chantel. Our friend Tom sent those in in about February of last year, I want to say.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Right. Also, our friend Mark, all the way from New Zealand, sent those in in May of last year, too. So you're the third person to send those in. They're not the most common of batteries, and we do, again, respect the presentation. I'm afraid it's not a new player entering the game. So in summary this week, only one new player,
Starting point is 00:27:51 and that is Bolska, courtesy of our friend Brad. Don't mind it. Not a bad performance. And it's just great to come back to loads of emails about batteries. So thank you very much to everyone who got in touch. Hello at LukePeteShow.com if you would like to say hello. On the next recording, on the next show on Monday, I will be less sleeply.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Possibly. Sleeply. That's not a word, is it? No, it's not. That's not a bloody word. Half of it, about 20% of the words you say aren't words, though. People are used to it, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Well, look, Shakespeare made up a load of shit, didn't he? So write that on you. I liked, there's a comedian I quite like, which is against my general opinion. Yeah, better judgment usually. Called Josh Pugh, who I enjoy on Twitter. And he does a really funny skit about how, if Shakespeare came back from the dead now,
Starting point is 00:28:37 and they just didn't wander around going, have there been no other playwrights born? I mean, they've been there 400, no one's done anything in 400 years. And that's what that reminded me of. You yourself to shakespeare reminding me of that peter yeah good stuff i think i think oh did it you you you i've got a lot in common with shakespeare you often wear a rough little beard yeah a little beard yeah as well a little earring little um hoop earring in your ear can young partners can regularly be seen around a serving wench
Starting point is 00:29:05 yeah and you will drink beer a lot because you don't trust the water diseased was that was that Shakespeare exclusive or just people from back then those times when you drink the water
Starting point is 00:29:14 you can and you famously don't drink water although you try to pretend more recently you've started drinking it more but I don't believe you how did people stay alive back then
Starting point is 00:29:22 if the only option was drinking beer the answer to that is that many many of didn't many of them didn't bother yeah they died How did people stay alive back then? If the only option was drinking beer. The answer to that is that many, many of them didn't bother. Yeah, they died. All right, then. On that note, we'll be back on Monday. Have a lovely weekend.
