Starting point is 00:00:00 it's back to the luke and the peach show my name is pete i'm joined by luke moore how the devil are you on this thursday my sir i'm all right thanks i'm not too bad good ran out of steam there did you really not already we've got another half hour to go yet things last week on death valley um how's your week been luki I went briefly to the seaside and I stayed in a eco-hotel, which means it's basically like a normal hotel but it's reduced the
Starting point is 00:00:33 level and courtesy of service to save money but also the planet. Right, okay. So what do you think is their priority? Do you think it's the planet or the money? Not giving me a kettle, selling me a bamboo toothbrush. You couldn't do any pork noodles? Couldn't do any pork noodles, little hotel pork noodles.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Yeah, and it's twice as expensive because you are subsidizing tax breaks for them, presumably, for being an eco hotel. Yeah, it was very nice, but I didn't roll my ankle, which I usually do on beach holidays. It was all very, very pleasant. It was all very lovely. Very nice. I was fascinated by the idea of what separates an eco-hotel
Starting point is 00:01:14 from normal hotels. It is just reduced level of service for twice the price. Pete, you're starting to sound like one of them. You're starting to sound like Jeremy Clarkson there, mate. Look, they always say you get more extreme and more right wing as you get older. I just think, you know. Not possible for you, that.
Starting point is 00:01:31 No, mate. I'd have to go right round to infinity to come back to left wing. Yeah. I'm really, QAnon is like a fucking joke to me, mate. Yeah. Far too liberal for your taste, right? I was outside.
Starting point is 00:01:43 QAnon, though, as far as I know about it, which isn I was outside. As far as I know about it, though, which isn't much, but as far as I know, QAnon isn't really left or right. It's just mad. It's just madness, isn't it? Yeah, but if you were going to pick which side, I would say they're more kind of like twitchy, gun-toting maniacs more than... You definitely see them more on the right side than the left, but I do agree.
Starting point is 00:02:06 They're just wacky fuckers. 4chan wasn't extreme enough for them. 8chan neither, so they went over to Q1. But did you see all those people outside the... the Royal Family's residence? Buckingham Palace? Buckingham Palace. I can't even remember the name of Buckingham Palace? Buckingham Palace. If you can't even remember
Starting point is 00:02:25 the name of Buckingham Palace. It's got hot. We do two shows concurrently. I've got hot, all right? Unless you want me to take my shirt off in the studio, I'll take my shirt off. Do it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Fine, I'll do that. I'll do it, fine. Yeah, there was loads of people shouting paedophile, paedophile into the palace of the weekend. That was fun. Not really reported on the news, though, I noted, which is a bit weird.
Starting point is 00:02:46 But the thing is, people always say this, right? So people always say, I'm not having to go at you here, but people always say, oh, you won't read about this in the news, or you didn't see this on the news. There was only 20 people. Yeah, but sometimes I think there's quite a lot of news happening at the moment. They can't cover absolutely every street
Starting point is 00:03:03 in every city in the world so i understand what their editorial decisions sometimes that don't go the way that people want and it's hard and it's annoying but i know enough about the media and i know enough people working in news media to tell you that they are like a lot of them are doing their best and it is fucking hard all right so when you sit around your pants on twitter wondering why some knobhead has chipped off about something and it's not on the BBC news, there could be lots of reasons for it.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Here's the front page of the BBC at the moment. Students' belongings binned by halls of residence. Why do medieval royal charters still control us? And who is the cutest cartoon animal of the 21st century? Big stories! Important stuff! themselves there but and who is the cutest cartoon animal of the 21st century big stories important
Starting point is 00:03:46 stories no other game will make you scream as loud what game do you think they're talking about no other video game will make you scream as loud luke video games are your thing is it super mario world it's not it's a game called fall guys which is a very popular one that's uh doing a lot of business online can i can i just can i just circle back around to the QAnon thing just very, very quickly? Yeah, of course, mate. Because I know someone quite well whose cousin is like balls deep in the QAnon stuff, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have to admit, you know, Pete, this is not really my area.
Starting point is 00:04:23 And I kind of found out over a beer or two sort of what it was. And I've seen the pictures of the soldiers posing with Mike Pence with the Q sign. And I've seen the marches and seen the signs and the placards and stuff. But I didn't really ever properly get to the bottom of it and know what it was about until this guy told me. And he said, said look my cousin who i don't really speak too much uh he's involved he's well into it and and i said okay fine so i looked him up on instagram and he had put a post on there i just tried to look it up but he's deleted it sadly but i can remember what it said he based a whole long thing about how um that
Starting point is 00:05:01 donald trump is trying to save the world's children from a satanic cult of paedophiles being operated from within the deep state, what they call the deep state in the American government. And the reason I say that, is that really left-wing or right-wing? Is because it is so mad that I don't really know if it's... We've got to the point now, and I'm someone who's interested in politics.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I study politics. I don't know where on the schedule or where on the platform to put this. It's always, I was watching the film, is it Legend with the Krays, the film about the Krays. Yeah, I haven't seen it. It was on film four.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I'll hide me a fresh suit. Yeah. He, they talked about when, I was sort of reading about their deaths because I didn't actually know. I was in the middle of the film. I was like, can't be asked to wait at the end of this. How do they die?
Starting point is 00:05:57 One of them died, I think, in Broadmoor. The other one was, I think he was chucked out abroad more a few weeks before he died of cancer, I think. Anyway. He got a sympathetic release, didn't he? Like, compassion. Yeah more a few weeks before he died of cancer I think. Anyway. He got a sympathetic release didn't he? Like compassion. Yeah. Yeah about six weeks before he died. And I would have taken that leave sooner. Just know that I'm going to die of some kind of cancer.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Just let me out now for a few weeks. Let me back in. But yeah when the when the Krays died you know people applauded because they were happy that their reign of terror was now over. But they also, some people sort of said, well, look, they had a real kind of attention to keeping the streets safe from pedophiles. Now, we all know the 70s. We all know the 80s.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I certainly know the 80s. And there was a hell of a lot more pedophiles around, certainly, plying their trade in the streets more than there are now. Is it a trade? Obviously. If done right. If done right. That's foul.
Starting point is 00:06:56 But what I'm saying is that right, actually, quite problematic individuals always have this kind of like, I'm looking after the kids. I'm keeping yourself from the pedophiles it's the thing that the sun's obsessed with it's the thing that um the fucking the the the fascists on twitter are obsessed with the fucking the grooming gangs and all that stuff in rotherham yeah it's the one thing that that unites problematic individuals they're not bothered about you know people dying in the sea they're not people they're not bothered about anything actually they just use that one glimmer of
Starting point is 00:07:28 humanity that i'm looking after the kids in the pit and keeping them safe from the pedophiles i don't know why that appeals to them so much especially when frequently these right-wing organizations have a lot of pedophiles in their ranks yeah it's not i don't think it's bizarre but is it not just a vehicle it's just just a vehicle, isn't it? Because really, if you were going to, you know, if you're talking in broad brushstrokes here, if you really were, what's the name of Tommy Robinson's lot? I can't remember the name now. Whatever they are, whatever they're called.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, yeah, that lot. If they really cared about paedophiles, they would be starting with the Catholic Church. They wouldn't be starting with anywhere else. Because, I mean, that's on record. That's on paper. You can look that up. There's no legal problem with me saying that on this podcast
Starting point is 00:08:08 because that's quite well documented. That's the first place you'd start, but they don't because it's used as a vehicle for something else. On the QAnon thing, when you read about politics or you study it or whatever, there's certain things that become
Starting point is 00:08:23 synonymous with certain movements, whether it be right-wing know, there's certain things that become, you know, synonymous with certain movements, whether it be right-wing or left-wing. So, for example, as an example, again, in very broad terms, you'd say, well, in America, on the right, they prefer small government, right? They prefer less interference from government in their shit, right? On the left, in the UK, they feel like the welfare state is a really important thing. These kind of things.
Starting point is 00:08:44 All I'm saying is satanic paedophile death cult does not appear on the list so i'm trying to find out exactly how that even started because you if it's just made up on the internet by some weird guy on a forum then we've got our priorities wrong and i'm speaking from someone who you know on a very mild level gets his fair share of abuse on internet forums right it shouldn't have got it shouldn't have got to that level where the vice president of the united states is posing with people who have got those symbols on it shouldn't happen so i don't think it's a left or right thing i think it's just the fact that we've all completely collectively lost our fucking shit i don't know i think i think it is left right thing but i think the the the
Starting point is 00:09:24 satanic pedophile death cults are the uh just to distract from everyone's anti-semitism which seems to unite everyone every every side i thought you mean sort of new world order type kind of conspiracy series yeah yeah john sharrosh yeah okay yeah all that jazz yeah by the way can i i want to completely change tack because um sometimes i'll prepare something to talk about here and it won't ever come into the discourse because we've gone off on one. But sometimes I'm so stubborn and actually quite unprofessional that I just want to bring it in anyway.
Starting point is 00:09:53 So I'm not linking this to anything else we've just talked about, but I want to bring two stories to the table that I think you'll be interested in, mate. One is, have you read that Japan... that's a terrible start sorry have you read have you read that japan are running out of credit card numbers uh really what no i have not read that so because they barely use them no because they only ever made three there's been a massive surge in online shopping since the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:10:26 And Japan's credit card companies cannot for much longer keep coming up with original 16-digit numbers for their credit cards. Now, the reason for this, I know people are going to think this sounds boring. I don't think it is boring. I think it's really interesting. No. The first six digits on a credit card have to be a certain set of numbers to run concurrently with Visa or MasterCard, right? They have to be 16 digits long, and the first six have to denote the country,
Starting point is 00:10:53 the brand, and some other information. So that only leaves you 10 numbers left, right? And credit card use in Japan is going through the roof, right? And they want to double the amount of cashless payments to make it around 80%. They've made some kind of government pledge that by 2025, it'll be 80%. But what's happening is they're literally running out of numbers and no one knows what to do.
Starting point is 00:11:15 It's almost like a credit card version of the Millennium Bug. And we know all that turned out. Loads of people almost, the world almost ended. Yeah, I'm sure they can figure almost ended yeah i'm sure they can figure it out i'm sure they can fix this because i would say that japan's is they're going to have a lot of trouble because they are a massively um cashless um society sorry not a credit cardless society they're very cash based so they're always just you know something we found with the pandemic is people don't like to handle a lot of money um and so people in japan they seem they got the house with a couple of hundred quid in their pocket um and
Starting point is 00:11:48 they don't use credit cards very often yeah that's fascinating to me because i was reading when i read about this story i was reading around it and it said that in south korea cashless transactions are at 96 but in japan it's only 20 and i imagine we're probably at 50. Would you say we're 60? 60 cashless? I mean, I've literally just been guessing. I've no idea. Let's give them 60. But the thing is that if credit card firms agree that the best case scenario is to add a 17th digit,
Starting point is 00:12:19 they're still going to have to update 300 million 16-digit cards, which will be so expensive that they don't really know what to do. Well, just say that all of the cards made before 2021 are the number one and everything made after 2021 will be the number two. I think companies and stuff, they can only process one or the other otherwise it won't be automated right okay look it's it's it's a shit show of someone's creation they should really have thought this uh through because obviously japan's one of the most populous countries weirdly uh on earth for its size and uh yeah they've had a stinker and they need to
Starting point is 00:13:01 sort their shit out to be fair the infrastructure the infrastructure in Japan is quite old. I would recommend going back to some kind of medieval bartering system. Yeah, I think so. Did you say that the Ninja Museum got robbed? I didn't even know there was a Ninja Museum. That sounds amazing. There's a Ninja Museum in the middle of Japan and it quite hilariously got robbed of all its money last week. Where are your ninjas now, mate?
Starting point is 00:13:23 Where are your ninjas now? Tell me about the Ninja Museum. I've never been to it. I've been to a ninja town, which is like a kind of village of... Tell me about that then. Shogun era, kind of people who protect, you know, heads of state and buildings and stuff. And that's really cool.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I just remember it being very small. Like the ninjas must have been constantly on their haunches, kind of like tiptoeing through their own homes. But I like the, we've spoken about Japanese houses before being, you know, the discovery of glass and art business. But I do like how quiet that country is. It's very loud in the cities, but it's very quiet in the rural areas. And just the idea of like ninjas sneaking home. I get the impression, Pete, that my idea of what a ninja is,
Starting point is 00:14:15 which is essentially based on movies from the 90s and 80s video games like Ninja Gaiden, is probably completely incorrect. Yeah, I imagine that people who are way more read up... And to be honest, if you ever Google the word ninja, the YouTube streamer Ninja has taken over all of those things. But they were just basically like mercenaries back in feudal times. Oh, so they were pretty cool then? Yeah, they were pretty cool. They were like spies or...
Starting point is 00:14:41 Did they have magical powers or not? I don't think they had magical powers, no. That was very much the reserve of the Japanese mages and warlocks. And what's the difference between a ninja and a samurai? Oh, I don't know, actually. Samurai, I think, are just soldiers, aren't they? But ninjas are more like... Ninjas or shinobis are like kind of trained spies or mercenaries.
Starting point is 00:15:04 So, yeah. Yeah, I thought the samurai were like the officer, like officer class of like soldier or something. Yeah. Yeah. Exciting though. Exciting. I don't know anything.
Starting point is 00:15:13 That's the thing about Japan. I like their drinking culture. Not really asked about their films or anything else or video games or media. You like their little hot tub things, jacuzzis and stuff. The what? Little Japanese hot tub? I like the onsens. Yeah, they're cool. And you their little hot tub things, jacuzzis and stuff. The what? Little Japanese hot tub? Oh, like the onsens?
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yeah, they're cool. And you like pot noodles. And I like pot noodles. No, I do like a cup noodle. So there you go. And can I bring one more story to the table, which is completely unrelated, but something that I think you will like.
Starting point is 00:15:40 There's been a baby gorilla born at Bristol Zoo, Pete. Oh, I saw this. It was very adorable. It just appeared. Yeah, it did actually. And so the main alpha male at Bristol Zoo is called Jock. I think I've talked about Jock before on this show. I'm a big fan of Jock's.
Starting point is 00:15:57 My friend Duncan and Helen live in Bristol. We go to Bristol Zoo quite a lot when I go visit. And Jock's quite a famous uh gorilla there he's a westland uh western lowland gorilla and um they hit the the the female gorilla carla um gave birth to a new gorilla a while back i think it's a year ago or so but it died it died after like a week and they couldn't really work out why so this time i know and last time that's like an emergency c-section to get the baby gorilla. But this time they knew she was pregnant.
Starting point is 00:16:29 They turned that one morning and she was just there looking after it. Oh, that's so lovely. A surprise gift to the world. And it's quite wicked when you go to Bristol Zoo because the gorillas, when they come out for feeding time, it's amazing. It's amazing to see
Starting point is 00:16:45 the social hierarchy of a troop i don't know what i don't know what the collective now for gorillas is but when you see a group of them together the social hierarchy is actually really interesting yeah yeah well i mean you just see the big boys just kind of rolling around i went to um leo a few weeks ago and uh i went to zoo. And what was that bird that we were talking about? Naughty little bird with a long beak. I can't remember. Where did you go? I think the naughty little...
Starting point is 00:17:12 Oh, well, Ibis. Ibis. An Ibis, yeah. I saw an Ibis. It was very exciting. I forgot to tell you. I saw an Ibis, Luke. Where did you see an Ibis?
Starting point is 00:17:22 Lille. Oh, right. In France. When was that? Just over the border. About three weekends ago. Oh, right. In France. When was that? Just over the border. About three weekends ago. Oh, okay. Before they did the shutdown.
Starting point is 00:17:29 But yeah, they had one of them. Bin chicken. Say again? Bin chicken. Yeah, exactly. But it looked really, really cool. And they were in with the Gibbons, I seem to recall, in Lille. What?
Starting point is 00:17:42 It was very exciting. That's a filing error. I know. Yeah, they're just all in together. It's very exciting. That's a filing error. I know. Yeah, they're just all in together. To be fair, it was quite a hot day, so the Gibbons were just lying on the floor going, oh, I can't be arsed to do anything, which is very disappointing.
Starting point is 00:17:54 That's the only reason why I wanted to go in, to be quite frank. Yeah, you love a Gibbon, don't you? I do love a Gibbon. Let's have a quick break, and when we come back, Pete, we can do that email I promised on Monday about Death Valley.
Starting point is 00:18:05 It's quite a good one. All right, then. It's time for the Luke and Pete Short Part 2, How the Devil Are You? I am Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Luke Moore, and it is a Thursday. Speaking of discovered animals, not jazz, Luke, before we get to the emails, did you see that the Somali Sengi, a type of elephant shrew with a big long nose? Oh, yeah. It's not been...
Starting point is 00:18:28 We thought it had gone. We thought it had become extinct. It's not been since the 1960s, but it was recently rediscovered by scientists who lured them out from their rocky habitats with peanut butter, oatmeal and yeast. It came out for a bit of artisanal bread, Luke. Yeah, hipster.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Bloody hipster with his big stupid nose. And it was found in Djibouti. Why couldn't you tell us sooner, Luke, that it was in your Djibouti? And also, it's a bit embarrassing for it because it's called the Somali elephant shrew, found in Djibouti. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:58 The joke's on them. I know. I know, right? Yeah, so it was apparently 50 years after it was last seen. 52 years or something, yeah. It's mad, that. Do you remember that fish called Decelecanth?
Starting point is 00:19:09 You heard that story? I've heard of the animal before. So it kind of trumps the 50-year thing because I think... So let me get this absolutely right. So they thought it had been extinct since the end of the Cretaceous period, which I think is when T-Rex was around, right? And then another one was found in 1952. So that is like 70-odd million years of people thinking something was extinct.
Starting point is 00:19:41 And it popped up. So these things do happen. They do happen, you know. Did you see Mark Allen's email? Go for it. Hello at LukeandPeach.com. Yeah. Scrolling through Twitter could be a depressing pastime these days,
Starting point is 00:19:51 but here's a fascinating article I found about Greenland sharks and their extraordinary lifespan. Oh, yeah. The photo from Twitter I have attached is by marine biologist Julius Nielsen of a Greenland shark estimated to be 393 years old. Now, usually I'd be like, how the, I mean, how the heck do you start imaging that thing?
Starting point is 00:20:12 But 393 seems very specific, so they must know. They must know. And the picture, it looks like it's made out of fucking granite. It looks amazing. It's been wandering the oceans since 1627. It's the oldest living vertebrae known on the planet. It looks amazing. It's been wandering the oceans in 1627. It's the oldest living vertebrate known on the planet.
Starting point is 00:20:28 What a picture. What a beast. I just want to make love to it. I think they're completely blind as well. I'm pretty sure we mentioned this maybe a year or two ago, but I think they carbon date them or something. They're able to work out pretty accurately how old they are. I mean, that's a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:20:50 But they move really slowly as well, I think. Yeah, I mean, you would at that age, wouldn't you? So I get with the sea-decanter fish and with the kind of little tiny rodents in really distant parts of the world, I kind of get it. But if you look at the list of 25 there's a list of um i can't remember the exact name for it but i think it's partly of a marketing thing to maintain people's awareness but there's this thing called the world's 25 most wanted animals right and it's about it's not they haven't committed crimes or whatever they just they just they just
Starting point is 00:21:20 think that they're um they just think that they're extinct cool to find out right and and i i kind of get it if it's a fish because the ocean is massive and everything but i mean some of these animals one of them's a kangaroo i mean you should fucking know if there's a kangaroo around or not yeah did what did you say i i think um bonobos are only discovered as um separate species that's right because they're only very slightly different right yeah in the in the it was 1912 or maybe the 20s like that seems fascinating to me that they could you know that they're completely they are different creatures they're very similar obviously but um they are technically very very different they're the only animals i think that um witness
Starting point is 00:21:58 um mutual masturbation that's why you like them that's why i get that's why that's what i get up to when i'm watching them. Yeah, exactly. One more quick thing on that is there's a, so the Somali Sengi or Sengi was actually on the world's 25 list. That's how I found out about the list. So they've actually, they must be down to 24 now. Maybe they put another one in there to replace him.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I don't know. But there was, there's another, in the list, there is an animal and maybe I'll throw it open to listeners to let us know, hello at lukeandpeachow.com if you know any better than me, which you almost certainly do, that in 1953 in the Philippines, an animal was last seen called an Illin Island Cloud Runner, right? Wow. But it doesn't actually say in the write-up what type of animal it is.
Starting point is 00:22:45 It just says, Surveys with locals have failed to reveal any further information on the cloud runner. The rediscovery of this species would be incredible and would provide a glimpse into the life of a truly enigmatic creature known from just one specimen that was purchased on Ealing Island in 1953. It's never been sighted in the wild. So I don't even know what it is.
Starting point is 00:23:06 So if anyone could tell me, that would be fantastic. I think they've made one up just to make the list a little bit more attractive. I'm imagining the video game character Kirby. Yes. Until I'm disavowed of that. Until I'm disavowed of that. Imagine he looks like Dizzy.
Starting point is 00:23:20 It's like an egg with some welly boots. Oh, I saw Dog of the Weekend that had Dizzy's eyes. Dizzy's eyes. If you ever ever bought a dizzy game back in the day um on the spectrum he had um the spectrum had a limited color palette so it used to be it used to be made up of green white and black colors on the screen and he used to have very mournful eyes um compared to all of the other versions um and uh it looked like dizzy he had dizzy's eyes and I was like, oh, Dizzy. Was he bald like an egg? Dizzy from the 90s. He wasn't bald like an egg.
Starting point is 00:23:48 He was hairy like a dog. Oh, nice. Let's do some emails. I promised people a Death Valley email, didn't I? And it's from Matt and he's probably been waiting all week to hear it read out. So he probably hasn't. He's got other stuff on.
Starting point is 00:23:58 He says, hello to the third and fourth least sweaty people in the UK behind Alistair Cook and Prince Andrew. That's disappointing. Yes. With your talk of Death Valley temperatures, I wanted to share a tale of temperature extremes within a single day. My wife and I took a road trip to West Coast, USA
Starting point is 00:24:16 as a final hurrah before our lives ended and we had kids who are now seven and four. Beautiful way of putting it. We stayed in the aforementioned furnace creek on a stopover in death valley and despite the name there was a very green golf course and an outdoor swimming pool which was best avoided in the middle of the day i bet i bet they use a lot of horses on that there's a reason why there's a bloody um california um horseback band is that he said we spent our day of departure sightseeing in death valley and taking in bad water basin etc temperatures reached 120 fahrenheit plus and signs were
Starting point is 00:24:51 telling drivers to switch off their aircon at the risk of cars overheating a common refrain from people who've been there um as we heard on monday he said we popped into the ranger station for a lube break before we started the drive to yosemite only to find our route through the tohoka pass was closed due to snow what we finally arrived at yosemite in the dark after a 10 hour detour still in our shorts t-shirts and flip-flops from the earlier heat it was then that we realized our accommodation was on the other side of the park and we started to ascend into the mountains panic set in as the snow got thicker and the park gates we passed displayed more and more ominous warnings saying four by fours only past this point our real worry was that we didn't want to be stupid
Starting point is 00:25:34 brick tourists dying in the snow in our beachwear we finally started to descend into the valley into a thinner covering of snow and were rewarded when there was a break in the trees and right there in front of us was the epic face of El Capitan, which is a nice tie into your free solo chat a while back. He says, love your work as ever. When is the Vish and Pete show debuting?
Starting point is 00:25:55 Cheers, Matt. Well, next time Luke's off, I imagine. Yeah, maybe. Luke really takes holidays, so he could be waiting a long time. Your bromance is with Andy Brass or not Vish, though? Yeah, I'll take anyone at this point in my life to be honest anyone noticing that i'm in the room uh i'll i'll i'll lavish as men get older they get more and more
Starting point is 00:26:15 invisible that's why they get more and more obnoxious um but you know imagine that though pete you've gone from you've gone literally from 120 degrees Fahrenheit to being in trouble through snow in the same day. That's mad. It's like from the Vish and Pete show to the Luke and Pete show. It's true. You've got the smoking hot Vish and the icy cold Pete Donaldson. Yeah, it's a weird one, isn't it? Like I always say that the last time I was in Yosemite,
Starting point is 00:26:42 very dry heat, even when it gets hot in there, very dry heat. Yeah, that's what we said on Monday. It's probably different, isn't it? It doesn't feel as bad. Yeah, enjoyable, enjoyable. Have you got any other emails, Peter? I have, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I've got one from Sean to probably, I imagine, close us out. Hi, the Luke and the Pete. I want to tell you the story of an unresolved mystery that happened to me and my family approximately eight to nine years ago now. I presume now is when he's telling the story when living in my when living in my parents house now uh we had a private driveway which stretched about 50 meters long this meant the house was quite hard to spot from the road one day i arrived
Starting point is 00:27:19 home with one day i arrived home with my mom to find a packet of rice pudding on the ground located near one of our cars. Strange, nobody in our house ate rice pudding. Does anybody over the age of six years old? We didn't think too much of it at the time because why would we? Someone may have innocently dropped this rice pudding. Anyway, over the next coming weeks, we noticed several other dairy products being left in the vicinity of our house, like yoghurt, etc. But when anybody in the family found anything, they'd throw them away. It was only afterwards when we discussed the situation
Starting point is 00:27:47 that people realized what they had seen. However, the pinnacle of the situation was that one day I went to my work van to try to find a carton of custard with the top perfectly chopped off, as to suggest with the use of scissors, and the thick lumpy liquid was rubbed by hand all over the back of my work van.
Starting point is 00:28:04 What a strange thing for somebody to do. I did what every normal person would do in that situation, and I didn't mention it to anybody. It was clearly a fact by one of my friends. And rather than give them a satisfaction of admitting they got me, I thought it would be best to remain silent on the matter and let the culprit come to me. A couple of months passes,
Starting point is 00:28:22 and I finally bring up the incident to people. Everybody looks at me with bemusement, and i genuinely don't know anything of the situation um and generally don't know anything the situation fast forward to today the mystery is still completely unresolved i guess the mysterious dairy product creep is still on the large i hope this story reads right i've hardly hardly slept after working nights uh keep up the good work gents sean now is that an amazing combination of email one who's up all night to work in nights
Starting point is 00:28:47 and then it being read out by you Donny I'm just saying that yeah it is I'm just saying that Sean hardly slept after working nights sounds like a fight club
Starting point is 00:28:58 Tyler Durden kind of situation to me yeah who rubbed rice pudding all over this window who rubbed custard all over the back of this Devon knows and if it's your first nightbed rice pudding all over this window? Who rubbed custard all over the back of this? Devon knows.
Starting point is 00:29:07 And if it's your first night at Rice Pudding Club, you have to bring some rice pudding. What part of the country is it, does he say? I don't think he does know. We'll have to know. We could get our listeners to put the task and see if they can solve it. Could have been Devon. Have you seen the milky boy who's probably a boy
Starting point is 00:29:25 who's smearing stuff all over the gaff? Very, very strange. Have you ever been a victim of a milky head crime? Do let us know. Hello at localeakshow.com. Yeah, but he's always certainly a bloke doing that. Like, no question about it. Like, no question.
Starting point is 00:29:40 We have run out of time for this Thursday show, sadly, but what I will say is this. There is an excellent email ready to be read out, and I'll do it on Monday, by the enigmatically named J.W. Muller. And I'm going to get to that email on Monday because I don't want it to go missing. It's well worth the tuning in on Monday to listen. Are you taking them in?
Starting point is 00:30:00 No, it's great. It's about aliens. Oh, it's Muller rather than muller as in the muller rice people i thought you were good oh fucking hell amazing amazing fucking hell no genuinely we got an email in for jw muller he's not commenting on the rice pudding issue uh right okay we'll see now so it'd be worth tuning in for it's about aliens and the technology they use in the movie. Lovely old job. Fantastic. I heard that the android spat out
Starting point is 00:30:30 Muller Rice. Doesn't matter. Let's get out of here. That's too far. That has been the Luke and Pete show for this week. As I've mentioned, we will, of course, be back on Monday. We love to hear from you, so if you've got anything to contribute on anything we've mentioned there, including that enigmatic animal,
