Have you been affected by any of the issues discussed? What?

What issues discussed? I don't know. Google Docs, it's becoming increasingly difficult to actually use Google Docs. Every time I sort of send a file to someone, they sort of say, oh, my company's stopped using Google Docs. Not really. Yeah, they're sort of like, I think Google Docs have stopped putting money into Google Docs

because they're not making any money out of it. So they're kind of removing integration with stuff like Slack, which is frustrating. I've got integration with Slack on here. Every time some piece of software that I actually like to use, I feel like I've got my head around,

kind of comes to pass, it eventually stops. Once I learn it, it dies, yeah. And that's because I'm old and out of touch and all the rest of it. I'm using software that should have died 10 years ago, but they're still creaming the license fee in and making very few improvements.

More crashes, fewer improvements. Yeah, Pete will give you 200 quid a year. Brilliant. Pete, you've got some new glasses on. I do have some new glasses on. They're very reflective, so apologies if you can't see the whites of my eyes and the intent of my soul.

For those of you who can't see this, they're actually the new Apple Vision headset. Oh, I just want to live in the metaverse. Yeah, 50 quid off the internet. I found my old prescription and just went on the internet metaverse. Yeah, 50 quid off the internet. I found my old prescription and just went on the internet and went, right, 50 quid, 50 quid. I'm not spending any more than 50 pounds, and it shows. See the guy who bought the first, is it called Apple Vision?

Is that what it's called? Apple Vision. Apple Vision. What is it called? Yeah, I think it's Apple Vision Pro or something. Vision Pro, right? Is it? Right, yeah.

Yeah, okay. So the first guy to buy those, and it won't surprise you to hear that it was a guy, at the Apple store in some city, all the employees were made to form a guard of honour and clap him and dance with him down the um down the down the guard of honor kind of thing and it's like this is what like proper late stage capitalism looks like yeah yeah i mean can you imagine can you imagine can you imagine like a died in the world communist

walking down the road kind of what is what is and if because if you are an employee a standard shop floor employee at apple how long is it going to take you to save up to buy one of those? Yeah, I mean, I guess it depends. But yeah, I imagine that... They're like three and a half grand, aren't they? Do you like working in an Apple store? They're quite expensive. Does working in an Apple store even kind of...

Does it have the luster? Does it have the pedigree? Does it have the rep that it used to? Because working in an Apple store used to be the coolest job. Yeah, that seems like a long time ago now. It does seem like a long time ago. Apparently, if you work at the Apple store, you get 25% discount on one iPod, iPad, or computer a year. Right, no Apple Vision Pro then, right?

Because that would be a chunky discount. I was just looking it up. It's not included, but maybe it's because it's too new. But I'm just saying that, you know, it was a bit like, you know, when you go into a designer shop and look at some clothes, the people wearing the clothes who work in there very much have to give those clothes back.

Yeah. Are they even wearing the clothes though? A lot of them do. A lot of them kind of, they're just, they're knocking about in them because they want people to look like they're slick. But like, they either get an allowance or they have to give them back. I'm pretty sure they have to give them back.

So it's kind of interesting when you have a situation which capitalism has essentially fostered where the people who are working at the places can't afford any of the products. Yeah, I'm glad you spoke about people in nice shops because I have become obsessed, completely unironically, with a couple of lads on Instagram called the Angel Boys. Right. This is a family show, Peter, so can you just make sure you bear that in mind? I think this could go either way, to be honest, as their desperation increases. Angel boys. Well, the word angel, then an L, then another L, three Ls, boys, right?

Okay. Well worth a follow because I, in a few short hours this morning, have become obsessed with the ouvre. Just a couple of little babies in tailored suits walking around Knightsbridge and Harrods just buying designer handbags. And they are... I've seen a picture of them. They look like robots.

They look like weird robots. And they are in love. And they write... They make emotional videos about how much they love each other. But neither of them can really... It seems like they've written a lot of it with ChachiBT. And I, as a 42-year-old man who is old and miserable and thinks everything sucks,

I can't help but love these posh little twits. I think they're brilliant. I've experienced them for the first time here. I've never heard of them before until you sprung this on me. They look to me like the same energy as a very young Gilbert and George. Yeah, yeah. A modern, young, tick-tock Gilbert and George. Yeah, they are wonderful toffs.

Do people know who Gilbert and George are? Yeah, I think so. I think so. Okay. Yeah, pretty much. I mean, explain if you want to. yeah i think so i think so okay yeah pretty much i mean explain if you want to well just a pair of artists who um who um are known for their kind of old-fashioned kind of formal appearance i think they're still alive aren't they yeah yeah artists so artists i think and then they they do they

their whole life is like seems to be like a kind of artistic um endeavor like for example i think they both every single day and have done for like 50 years in a row um go to the same cafe for breakfast together at the same time and order the same thing like they they do sculpt they do sculpture they do um yeah lots of other pieces but basically it's the same energy as that they're just young same energy but they're they're young they're rich i'm not sure there is i think they pretend to be they're rich. I'm not sure they're as rich. I think they pretend to be richer than they are. I think that they walk around Stately Homes going, I've rented out a Stately Home for the week for

me and my partner. Like you around Leon C. That's like me walking around Leon C. You know in small towns in the UK growing up in the 90s, there would always be a homeless person and everyone would always go, that guy there, he's secretly a millionaire. Yes.

That's you, isn't it? Yeah. The bloke who used to cross-dress in Hartlepool, used to go to the Hartlepool United matches. Lawrence. Lawrence. Because he looked like Robert Maxwell, everyone said that he was secretly,

absolutely minted and it was Robert Maxwell's love child. It's just good stuff. Just because he had big eyebrows and fat. Conspiracy theories did not lead the internet. No, exactly. The internet propagated them and made them more popular. But they were very much around before then.

Speaking of that Angel Boys thing. Angel Boys! Has they got a theme tune? Is that it? Is this your pitch to write them a theme tune? Honestly, Angel Boys, this is their impression. They go,

me and my darling partner are down in Knightsbridge at the Izumiaki. Is that the shunik? That's a design. That's a place. Yeah. We're at the Izumiaki store

to look at the, and we've got our oat lattes. They're obsessed with oat lattes. And we're buying some fancy new, you know, 20 grand handbag. And they're just, and they're fabulous. I'll bet you're buying it. That's right.

They've got a lot of handbags. I mean, no one's, they look minted, but they can't be as minted that they're being shown million dollar handbags all the time. They've not got that many followers, to be honest. We could be giving them a leg up. You're an early adopter. I'm an early adopter of the Angel Boys.

Can you please promise me you'll never ask them if you can join their club? Oh, imagine the Angel Boys and me. I've got a couple of suits. So he's been carrying a bag. He's been carrying a bag. I had a reputation.

I had a very long reputation like a little while ago that I would repeatedly turn up to weddings with a carrier bag in my hand. I think that's nice. Yeah, but I would do it completely by accident. And I was known as the person who, every time I was at a wedding, would turn up with a carrier bag, with a gift in or something,

with something in, but yeah. What was the gift generally? Flat shoes for myself. You do not want me screaming, wearing my stilettos at 9 p.m makes sense the um the oeuvre of um the angel boys angel boys also reminds me somewhat of the online phenomenon that i only discovered probably a week or two ago when i disappeared down a rabbit hole because i saw a viral video clip and was like that's got to be something bigger than that and the viral video clip which people listening may or may not be aware of but some people listening will certainly be on nodding terms with it was the um tossing the

pill about with chugsy video oh yeah that was a that was a bit of a viral classic back in the day weren't you yeah so i was like oh this is kind of passed me by so i watched it so that's funny it's just these really, really posh people, young lads and a few girls as well. I think it was made for a sort of young, sort of night bridge members club. I think that's the genesis of it. Well, no, this is the thing.

I'm about to tell you what it was because I've disappeared down the rabbit hole and my life has never been the same. It's basically a thing they've got going on, like an influencer thing based around a kind of club as well, yeah, called Chelsea Lifejacket. Right, yeah. And it is these astonishingly wealthy,

presumably sons and daughters of the landed gentry, or grandsons and granddaughters, maybe. One of them is one of the Fulfords who had that Channel 4 reality show. Right. They had that family seat out in the countrysides for like 800 years, and they were skinned. But they were proper old aristocrats. So it is proper legit aristocracy.

And they make these videos. And Tossing the Pillar Belt with Chugsy was one of their Notting Hill Carnival video. But the thing I found really interesting about it is that they were, I mean, in one of the videos, they genuinely do go out into the middle of nowhere in a gigantic country home

and just having this big party. But the thing I found quite interesting about it was that the production standards of the video were, I mean, astonishingly low. I mean, it was almost like, it was low. It was literally, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this actually happened. It was like they had just gone out because they're richer than God and just bought all the best kit

and thought right let's do this. And some of the scenes aren't even mic'd up. And they've just cut them together. But the thing about it is as well they do a pretty good job in making their lifestyle seem very, very boring after about seven or eight minutes of a video. It's just the same thing.

Glass of expensive champagne standing around. It's just great. Isn't this fabulous? Terrible chat, like really bad young. I mean, just because they're young people, right? Because young people's chat is basically terrible terrible chat

and the other stuff they're doing at this country home is they all go out there and they've got these drop top cars and there's a lot of wealth going

on and I think a couple of them fly a private jet down there great so it's wealthy stuff but when they get there they're basically just doing the same thing

that you and I probably did with our mates when we were in our 20s having a barbecue getting pissed some people are taking drugs.

Oh, someone got off with someone. Oh, someone's got drunk and thrown themselves into the lake. It's the same shit, right? It's just costing millions of pounds. So there's a lot of quite posh subcultures out there, Peter. It's not just us proles that like the internet.

No, and also I think we've maybe kind of, like we spoke about how much we love um tv shows like succession and stuff but at the end of the day like 50 of that is is um wealth porn isn't it really watching you know rich people do rich people stuff and be unhappy while doing it i'm being unhappy while doing it and uh so there's something there for us um maybe you know the whole kind of influence lifestyle was the private jets it was the um dubai kind of qatar kind of hotel kind of stuff and all that wank now it's kind of i think moved on to the um salt burn kind of stately home sort of vibe so i think maybe you know the the british landed classes the gentry are probably

getting you know the kids are probably getting theirs and probably probably um being their lives are probably being even though they're nine times out of ten they're actually quite cash poor yeah they can be can't they I think also it's kind of this idea and this need to generate

some kind of exclusivity around everything so it's like their vibe is like you know if you just come here and you join this and you pay this money

you can come and do this and it's like okay what you're basically doing though is you're saying I don't know what club it would be but some club in I don't know what club it would be, but some club in, I don't know, Chelsea or Knightsbridge, whatever, or Mayfair, I guess, saying, you know, you pay 50 quid or whatever it may be,

and you come to this night. But it's like, well, you have to pay that to get into that club anyway. Like, what? And then all of a sudden you have to pay 10 grand for a table because you have to buy a certain amount of drinks. And it's just, it's trying to generate kind of almost like fake exclusivity.

And then the videos they make where they go down to these places for the weekend. I mean, no one, it's only just them and their mates anyway. So I don't really see why you, who would be aspirational towards it. And no one's got, it's not, it's not debauchery, is it? It's not debauchery as I understand it. It's not like chem sex parties. It's just standing around. It's just, it's just the same kind of like underwhelming people just standing around

and it's a shame really yeah it's wasted on them at least at like dirty old clubs in like the 90s and the 90s people were actually getting off with each other

like now it's just nobody's the youths aren't doing anything they're just standing around and taking pictures if you and I in our 20s had that money

and the access to all that stuff Cold sores. I'd have constant cold sores. We'd have the decency to be dead by now. Yeah, exactly. I'd be having

one of my limbs lopped off. No, you'd be in some kind of ill-advised aviation accident I reckon. Oh, do you reckon?

Yeah, I think so. Trying to bust like a cane field. Cornfield. I'll import a Toyota crop spreader. I reckon you would probably use the money to buy a kind of ex-Soviet aircraft or something. Not really have the knowledge or expertise to maintain it.

Just pilot it to a cornfield. There's a lot of people on the old, you know, the South End kind of Essex Facebook pages where people will sort of be going, there have been two cars outside my house for months now. Do you think they are like, can I get someone to remove them? It's like, well, no, it's a public road. Are you mental? Right.

well no it's a public road are you mental right and no actually I think they probably were stolen and left outside the house

to check if they've got trackers on them and so I for months like don't be very industrious criminals there's just a lot of like there's a lot of quite

worried people it would just I just think it happens on my street as well yeah mad absolutely insane did anyone see the my ring doorbell

caught someone walking down the street at 2.30 in the morning last night it's like yeah okay and uh we should just check really and see if everything's okay and people haven't had their cars it's like okay so a guy who's probably worked shifts yeah yeah he's got walking back from his mate's house after after the pub or smoke whatever and um essentially what you're saying is, he's not white, and so you're concerned about this. And it's essentially a racist,

like a racist microaggression, right? A bloke's probably just walking home from somewhere. And like, people spend their whole lives in this mindset. Yeah. Like, oh yeah, and someone, there was one the other week,

like someone crashed a car down our road. It's a road with a bend on it. And people do drive down it a bit too fast. Well, didn't one of them manage to flip his car or something? Oh, that was a wild one. That was like a drunk driver. The drunk driver thing is bad. And it could have been a lot worse than it actually was.

But it's quite random, isn't it? Yeah, my point is it happens anywhere. Yeah, it's totally hashtag random. Random. And this other one, this woman, I think, drove down the road and pranged a couple of wing mirrors. And then all of a sudden, there's talk of like setting up

like a kind of a pressure group to start. It's like, listen, you're in London. There's cars parked down both sides of the road. It happens. Yeah. Right? It just happens. If you're retired and you've got no interests

or you've got nothing else going on. You can fixate on things, can't you? Yeah. And the biggest problem though in that WhatsApp group Matt as I said to you before, I don't know if I've said it on this show but I'll certainly say it to you, is the, he will remain nameless but the kind of jobbing failed comedian that lives on my street

and that is tedious I don't like successful comedians so imagine what it's like all the chat you do on the little picture, just get him involved get him involved when I'm not your comedian the chat you do on the Loot & Picture, just get him involved. Get him involved. When I'm not,

get me involved. Imagine if he'd already put the effort in. He's brilliant. Turns out professionals are better at this. Yes, that's right. He's prepped. Yeah. He's prepped. I will say the ring doorbell sort of thing.

People get very excited sharing that footage and stuff. That guy who burnt off his own eye trying a like trying to kill some women just kill a family you know what the alkali guy right like he was on security camera in cali roads with one fucking eye and we can't catch that cunt so don't worry about it no second he's still not been caught still not been caught that story kind of passed me by a bit that does sound horrific I think it was really interesting to me because obviously what is usually used in those attacks is acid and it sounds like

a wrong and funny style that's your way into the story an alkali attack that's a really interesting couple of words to put together and to say an alkali attack and I was like fair play for them because usually five years ago before we heard 20 years ago before we heard of so many of these um these attacks um uh that would be called an acid attack i think

yeah now so you're pleased the authorities are making the differentiation i think it's playing science shows a bit scientific uh scientific um breaking bad this effect is uh is um is still being felt deep scientific appreciation for the uh for the methods um it's sad i don't know i actually don't know the story that well i did see the images which looked horrific um but that's all i really know but the big thing that sent me into a tail spin this week was um i think you'll be the same here peter was um old greg wallace doing his um doing his weekend routine it's the total war it's the video it's the it's the oh there's someone there for everyone mate it's just

yeah i mean it's just how he's laying everything out as best he can. And maybe it's been edited to look like this, but the way he mixes, the way he manages to get two hours of Total War in the afternoon and the way he talks about his non-verbal autistic son, it's just all, there's just a lot in there. It's so wonderfully partridge. You haven't even mentioned him having breakfast in the harvester.

That's all right. He can do what he wants. But is it not surprising? Is it not surprising? It's a harvester right in the mean. Never been. Yeah. He's always one of those blokes

who you sort of assume that he doesn't get reviewed well by colleagues. And this week, all of his ex-colleagues have come out and said, yeah, he's just... He's taken it so badly

as well have you seen what he's been doing on Twitter what's he been up to he's been posting reviews of the harvester no every day since it came out

and he got hammered total raw surf files he's been posting what he's been doing every day subsequently right to prove that it's authentic and that he is a real

a real guy right okay what's he been so for example he's put so his most recent tweet just says today and it's a screenshot and it's authentic and that he is a real guy. Right, okay. What's he been... So, for example, his most recent tweet just says today and it's a screenshot and it's 6am, film messages for gregwallace.health. 7am, live chat, 7.30, chat with a business guru, 8am, breakfast.

Sorry, 7am, live chat. Who is chatting to Greg Wallace at 7am? I mean, that is... He doesn't have a global pull. So you can't even pretend you're talking to people in Myanmar or something. Good God. You don't think he's got a global pull? So people who are internationalists at this show,

how would you describe Greg Wallace? I don't know. Who's the one who looks after Baker in The Muppets? He looks like him. But not green. Dr Bunsen Honeydew. Dr Bunsen... What's his name? Dr Bunsen Honeydew. Dr. Bunsen. What's his name?

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, he looks like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, but he was a green gross, wasn't he? He wasn't even a chef. But he opened a few Greg Wallace entries, didn't he? I always used to think Beaker was Ian Rush.

Yeah, yeah, heaker was like Ian Rush. Yeah, yeah, he did look like Ian Rush and that's very much to do with Ian Rush's hair, isn't it really? It was very much spiky. And moustache, yeah. Oh no, yeah,

I suppose Beaker hasn't got a moustache. No, he's very childlike. He could fit in with the Angel Boys, I think. That would be a twist, wouldn't it?

That would be a twist. Just Beaker there. Beaker just pops out of the handbag. Pops out of the handbag in Harrods Cafe. So you would describe Greg Wallace to people who don't know otherwise. So basically, for those who are listening in the US or elsewhere, he essentially... Like a TV sort of fake chef, isn't he?

He's never really a chef. He's one of the presenters of MasterChef, which is a format that is presented, I think, by Gordon Ramsay in the US. Right. But we get him. I'd bloody love to have Gordon. Gordon? We don't have Gordon here.

I think he's above the UK television. Weird thing with Gordon is it frustrates me because he's so good, but it frustrates me that he feels like he's above UK TV unless it's that terrible ITV Buddy Road format. Do you know the Campo and Fred Seria? Yes. Why is he doing that? Gordon, why are you doing that?

You could be doing Kitchen Nightmares again. Yeah. yes yeah yeah why is he doing that why are you doing that you could be doing kitchen nightmares again yeah like genuinely pushing the boundaries of um of unscripted unscripted tv yeah he's doing this shit so greg basically he used to um i think i think he does the the regular master chef with john to road who i actually saw in outside a pub in the center of town a few years ago. Right. Absolutely tearing a strip off someone on the phone. Okay. Quite publicly. And they had a tiny pair of bright orange shorts on.

And it always sticks with me. Right. What was he... Was he complaining about the shorts, maybe? He just kept saying it's unacceptable, it's a disgrace, all this kind of stuff. He's got quite a wet mouth, hasn't he, to road? He has, yeah, yeah.

He's got a... Is he married to Lisa Faulkner? I think he might have married to Lisa Faulkner. He is, yeah, he is. Who is really lovely, by the way. Who is really lovely, yeah. Genuinely very nice. I know a friend of hers quite well.

I've been in her company. She's very nice. But let's not get... Listen, Greg's Saturday Daily... So for those who haven't seen that, it was basically Greg doing a, was it one of the weekend newspapers? This is my Saturday as Greg Wallace, you know. And it was insane.

I mean, it was insane. And you give him the benefit of the doubt there, saying he's maybe been stitched up by the editor or whatever. He's saying in the column he's got his own PA. So she's presumably proofed it. And it's fine. How's it got to print? It's just mad.

He basically says that he hates his own son. I think if you're the PA to Greg Wallace, you're like, yeah, go on, mate. Yeah, shout me one more time. I ain't going to proof that. Do you reckon a load of those people have like, they share PA, a PA? Oh, what do you reckon?

It's like one of those ones you get on the phone. I just think it sounds, it's like a human PO box. It sounds like a really impressive thing. Like one of those, remember those like premium phones you used to get in the late 90s, those Nokias that used to have, they used to be like 20 grand. They were 20 grand because when you press the button in the middle of the phone, it would ring like a concierge,

and you were paying for the concierge service, but a Virtu, I think the phone brand was. What's the point of it? Oh, concierge. It just looks like, they just put like gilded, sort of gold gilded highlights on the side of your classic kind of mobile phone, and they were always like a premium product for rich people, and absolute rich people um and an absolute

um rich people would have them um but but the main thing you were paying for because the phone couldn't really be a certain amount of money anyway and the thing you were really paying for was the concierge service right seems quite quaint now it does seem quite quaint now i suppose yeah yeah but you think i don't know why premium phones aren't bigger like i don't know why i know you can get like you can send off your iPhone. Because iPhones, you see, like, football managers and footballers, they've got, like, a maximum, a two grand iPhone. That's all they've got.

Maybe a few more for affairs and stuff. But, like, they're only ever, like, I can go into a shop and buy that, you know, if I save up. But, like, it's open to me. But I don't know why there's not a brand that i i know you can send in your iphone and it gets titted about with but you're still underneath it all it's it's still the same product that i get effectively so yeah that's why i'm starting phone brand but wasn't there wasn't there a thing where they like people just would pay

a load of money to have a very exclusive phone number. Oh, yeah. A memorable phone number with a load of zeros in it. That rings a bell. I reckon mine would probably fetch a decent sum. Mine's quite memorable. Don't say what it is. Don't you dare say what it is. I'm going to have a look at it now.

Go and have a look at it now. I think that's quite memorable. I think I do vaguely have a memory that it is quite. You do that. We're going to take a shot at breath. Yeah, I think that's quite memorable. I think I do vaguely have a memory that is quite... You do that. We're going to take a shot at breath. Yeah, I think I agree. Then Luke's going to tell us exactly how expensive my phone number would be. I'd pay you 50 quid for that.

50 quid for that, would you? Good. By the way, before you go to a break, Virtu are still doing phones. I've just looked it up. In collaboration with Bentley, they've got a Virtu Signature Touch for £13,600. Jesus Christ.

which sounds like a wrestling move. He's coming from the old Istanbul Airbnb. Dan from Solihull has come in with Inflame, very unwelcome. I think this is a new place simply because it's a very unwelcome state for your battery to be in. Inflame. That is a brand new player. simply because it's a very unwelcome um state for your battery to be in inflame yeah that is a brand new player yeah turkish never seen it before yeah yeah inflame it says i mean presumably it's the turkish refer alkaline on there um uh but yeah it's a brand new player i'd like to compliment um young daniel for the cleanliness of his nails as well excellent

yeah a good nick obviously and the inflame battery it looks like uh it's got a very kind of sky blue body and a and a golden head looks a bit like it could be a duracell knock off but it's um it's brand new never been seen before never been sent before so a new player has entered the game congratulations to you daniel beautiful uh this next one um i sort of course sent in i i endorsed this one because Sean texted me specifically. Sean Cleaver's come up with, Hello, Luke and Pete. Hope you're both well in the near half decade of the Luke and Pete show.

Oh, sounds bad, doesn't it? I've never had the sniff. Yeah? I've never had the sniff of a possibility of a new battery brand while my time might be. Now, I was working an event last week and the provided TVs were fresh out of the box, including a remote and provided triple a battery so here is the juneet jnyt battery juneet juneet juneet battery for your consideration uh and a bonus nugget for pete's obsession with old radios and tvs the brand of the tv was rca the american brand who actually created mbc and were pioneers

of both radio and TV technology. Kind regards, Sean Cleaver. Is it a new player, Luke? It's a brand new player. It's a brand new player. It's a double, double, double. I'm well surprised at that. Because that's in the UK somewhere, is it?

Where? Where is this? Yeah, I think it was Birmingham, I want to say. Yeah. Okay. Fantastic. Wow, that's amazing. Really, was it? Yeah. Fantastic. Wow, that's amazing.

Really surprising. Congratulations to you, Sean. Well, let's round things up with Tash's entry. Evening, Luke and Pete. Upon cracking open a pack of Energizer Max, I noticed one of the batteries had no branding on it whatsoever. The terminals looked a little different to the rest of the pack and it felt slightly heavier than others. So I'm not sure whether I've stumbled on a bit of a Frankenstein experiment of a battery.

If the naked battery doesn't count as a new player, perhaps this will simply serve as a nice reminder that whether you're a Dick Smith or a Duracell, we're all the same

underneath. That's wonderful. Yeah, so in an Energizer Max... I don't know what to make of that, Pete, do you? Well, in an Energizer Max D-cell size... Good to see a D-cell sent in.

Good to see a D-cell sent in. And they've just not bothered to put the old advertising on the side it should be a mechanised

automated process surely that you'd think so and you'd think there'd be some kind of quality assurance at the end of the tale

Tash I mean I think the term it should be the same legal size so if you could let us know whether it actually charges

anything whether it actually emits any power, I'd be fascinated to learn what went on here. I think we should give it honorary membership, Peter. Yeah, Tash and Brett, because we've never seen anything like this before. It's new, so it fits the bill.

It's new, it's naked. It's a D, so it's acceptable. Yeah. It's got no clothes on, so perhaps it's a... It's got no clothes on, sexy. Sexy as well. It's the sexiest battery we've seen

because it's naked. It's probably one of the most reflective ones because it's just, you know... So yeah, Tash, congratulations. Thank you. You have an honorary new player. You're the first ever honorary new player to enter the game.

Nice. Very, very well done. What a great find. What a great find. Oh, what a result. What a result. I mean, to be honest, Tash, probably opened that pack thinking

there's nothing for the Luke and Pete show here. Nah. But then, as if by magic, the battery gods move in mysterious ways. They get a battery. Don't they? De-nappied. De-advertised.

Exactly. Fantastic to see. And keep those coming in. We always like to hear from them, from you about them. There's two and a half, if we're going to call it that, new players this week.

We're still going strong now. We had a little lull, didn't we? We did have a little lull, but I think we've come out of the blocks raring to go in 2024. So thank you very much to everyone

who got in touch. It's hello at LukeandPeach.com for those battery submissions and we are available on all those social media platforms as well until, well,

actually, this is the thing. We are still all on X, right? Yeah. Have you seen the thing that Tucker Carlson's been doing?

He's in Russia interviewing putin isn't he and it's exclusive content to x and i think i think that is a really really fundamentally problematic thing and it should if all things i mean obviously it won't of course but if all things equal, it should force people to leave that platform in their droves because that is disgusting behavior. I mean, there are several. If Tucker Carlson would think of himself as a journalist, which he probably doesn't, and I certainly don't rate him as one, he's basically a propagandist. He is doing that thing exclusively on the X,

getting paid shitloads of money for doing it getting treated like a king in Russia which is basically a rogue state waging war in Europe and several of his colleagues in journalism are being held without trial in Russia as he does it at the same time it is utterly disgusting unconscionable and

if all things were right in the world it would force people to leave Twitter in their droves and if I had the courage of my convictions, I would do the same. So watch this space. See what happens. Luke's morals coming soon. Only on X.

Yeah, I mean, don't worry, Luke. X isn't a media platform. It's a town square. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's all these cunts get away with. Get away with not paying taxes in that sphere. I can't believe there with get away with get away with not you know paying taxes in that sphere and also I can't believe

there's not been a bigger outpouring I cannot believe that we've lost our compass to such an extent that we're not we're not up in arms about this but I mean he could do that thing

it was Conor McGregor when he met Putin he put his arm on he did the hand shelf and Putin's bodyguards which I hate

I'm very much I'm very much in Putin's camp on this one but the thing shelf in Putin's bodyguards, which I hate. I'm very much, I'm very much in Putin's camp on this one. But the thing is, what you have to remember though is that a far bit for me to defend Conor McGregor, because I think the man is an arse,

but this was, that was World Cup 2018, was it not? Was it? Right, okay. So Putin was essentially, you know, he wasn't an international pariah.

No, I'm not saying that he did that yesterday, but I'm just saying that maybe Tucker Carlson will do that. Maybe give him a wet willy or a nuggy. But I imagine he won't. I imagine it'll be a belly tickle for those in power in the Republican Party who don't want to fund the war. Right, we will be back on Monday with more of this.

Before you sign off, Peter, I'm very sorry to interrupt, but I just want to... This signing off is like a runaway train, Luke, and we are going over a really fragile wooden bridge alongside with a rose in my hand. To be fair, Putin

did invade Ukraine in 2014 the first time, so ultimately he had invaded the Soviet Union. He had already done that. He's already in Sasha Priya. I apologise for that. His room's almost guaranteed he murdered a load of his own people in that, what do you call it, tower

at the start of his move from the KGB to that. Anyway, doesn't matter. He was an arsehole then, he's an arsehole now. He'll continue to be an arsehole. Putin, two thumbs down. Angel Boys, two thumbs up. Should we get the Angel. Angel boys, two thumbs up. Should we get the angel boys on?

We never do interviews. I'd very much like to know what the hell they're doing. I want to get the angel boys on. If you think that they'll be up for it, I'm up for it. Angel boys. I want to talk to the angel boys. Two dads interviewing their gay sons, wouldn't it? How do we become angel boys?

Can we become honorary angel boys? I don't think it would have the public appeal. I don't think people would be as interested. If they're like a young Gilbert and George, we're like a boring Gilbert and George. Alright, see you on Monday. Alright, bye.
