The Luke and Pete Show - Best Bigga juice drinking years

Episode Date: May 13, 2024

Luke think Pete treats his stomach like an abusive parent after he sees him eating Chinese in the office at 9am. Pete's upset no one likes Bigga Juice at Stak HQ. He also complains about the lack... of microwave possibilities in the office which turns the conversation to the Darwin Awards as they contemplate how long it would take to microwave your head.Elsewhere they talk about the fans they've been meeting and discuss what their ideal level of fame would be - would you rather be like the guitarist in Coldplay with the ability to go about his day to day life, or, like Taylor Swift who apparently has to be carried out of planes in a bodybag so no one will see her?Want to get in touch with the show?

Starting point is 00:00:00 It's the Luke and Pete show. I'm Pete Donaldson. It's Monday the 30th of May. Very burpy today, Luke. What have you been eating or drinking? It pops out. I bought some of them posh crisps you recommended me about four years ago. Oh, Torres?
Starting point is 00:00:17 Torres. Never had them before. Fuck, they're good. They are delicious. They're absolutely sensational. Very buttery, Iberico ham-flavoured crisps. That flavour hangs around as well.
Starting point is 00:00:29 That's the one flavour that probably repeats on me a bit. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's what I've had, that and Diet Coke for breakfast. So that's not ideal. What? Pizza.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Look, I know this is an old trope and stuff, and maybe we do a bit too much of this kind of thing, but last time I saw you in person, I walked into the office at 9am and you were eating a bit too much of this kind of thing but last time i saw you in person i walked into the office at 9 a.m and you were eating a chinese takeaway yeah and then after recording after recording peter you smashed into a gigantic pokeball yeah that wasn't the same day those different days no it's the same day different needs i wasn't eating chinese in the morning and then had a pokeball in the afternoon. I had a Chinese in the morning,
Starting point is 00:01:05 finished the story. Next day, you've seen me, I'm having the poke bowl. I just don't think your body knows what's going on. The problem with poke bowls
Starting point is 00:01:12 is they're so delicious and you can add so many different bits into it, like mangoes and prawns and crab salad and stuff. It's delicious. But it is just a big bowl of rice
Starting point is 00:01:22 and it will take you to task at like about 2pm. You will feel very sleepy eating a massive bowl of rice and it will take you to task at like about 2pm. You will feel very sleepy eating a massive bowl of rice. Yeah but you also treat your stomach like
Starting point is 00:01:30 you're an abusive parent. It has no kind of understanding of stomach about what's happening and when and why it's not being looked after.
Starting point is 00:01:37 I'm a colleague. I'm not a parent to my stomach. I'm a colleague to my stomach. I'm an abusive colleague. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:42 You're going to call HR on my tum tum. You're the colleague that every single night after work makes you go out on the piss with him and then marches you to a cash point. That's what you are. Right. But I just think, when you,
Starting point is 00:01:55 I mean, because this literally did happen. People don't think, oh, I'm just talking shit, but I wondered at nine in the morning last week, and you were in a Chinese takeaway at your desk, and I wonder wonder do you ever consider what the younger people in our office see as an example um yeah but i shouldn't but i mean i'm annoyed that i brought in like i think 12 bottles of bigger juice yeah and like no one's getting involved i'm like going guys this my bigger juice consuming and my kind of hawaiian or
Starting point is 00:02:27 um jamaican punch uh sort of years were very much my 20s like you know i was working on a breakfast show i was i was working in an office i needed that sugar that's the time to experiment guys come into pete's hut and enjoy the sugary goodness of a bigger juice but everyone's like going, sipping it and going oh that's a bit much, like guys your palate is you can deal with this in your 20s I have a sip of this stuff in my 30s or 40s and my
Starting point is 00:02:56 stomach goes all to shit and you're still drinking it on your own in your car you're missing out you're missing out on your best bigger juice drink in years I did genuinely see producer Finn, head of sport Finn. The other day, I was walking down the corridor to go into the studio office. He was coming out of the studio office with four bottles of unopened bigger juice under his arm, shaking his head.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Yeah. As in, what am I going to do with these? Oh, no. What am I going to do with these? Is there any link to the fact... It keeps bringing them in. Is there any link to the fact that the toilets in our office, the communal toilets, which we're not responsible for, have been out of order ever since you brought bigger juice in?
Starting point is 00:03:34 Is there... We've found a lot of red piss in the pipes. What is, like, why are the... Why do we, A, not have a microwave in the building so I can warm up my Chinese, and, B, why aren the, why do we, A, not have a microwave in the building so I can warm up my Chinese, and B, why aren't any toilets working? So, question A is because John won't let us have one in the office. Right, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:57 So you have to bring in your own microwave? No. So the only two options for a microwave, as far as I understand it, would be in the communal kitchen area, which the building won't sanction because of their policy around unsafe electronics, right? Just check the electronics. They check all the other electronics. Take it up with them.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Take it up with the people who run the building that you have singularly avoided for the last eight years about any conversation whatsoever. Have that conversation if you want to. I've had a conversation with them about post rooms. We had to bring a plumber around to fix some of the water coming out of a pipe. Yeah, that sounds like
Starting point is 00:04:31 exactly the kind of normal conversation a human being would have with another human being. You just give the example of a conversation. There's some water coming out of the pipe. There's some water coming out of the pipe. Someone's pooping in there.
Starting point is 00:04:39 And the other option is to put the microwave in the office and as far as I know, John's vetoed that. Right, okay, fine. I'll be fine with it. I don't care. Right. I mean, you can put, yeah, put it in the studio. Just far as I know John's vetoed that. Right, okay, fine. I'll be fine with it. I don't care. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I mean, you could put, yeah, put it in the studio. Just buy one and bring it in and put it in there. No one's probably going to stop you. Charlie might get pissed off. Have you seen that guy
Starting point is 00:04:53 who's got like a microwave on his head and he cycles through town? What? He's got like this guy in America. It's like a TikTok or something. He's this guy
Starting point is 00:05:02 who just looks like a mad dude who's got a microwaveiktok or something he's like this guy who just looks like a mad dude who's got a microwave on his head and he basically just burns it as fast as he can up to the anyone who'll listen does a massive rear wheel skid and goes i got a microwave on my head and he slams the microwave door shut because as he as he's doing his swerve the microwave door swings open and then he slams the microwave door shut and then scoots off again. It's brilliant.
Starting point is 00:05:26 He is living his best life. Is it fixed to his head? It's on his head. He basically punched a hole in the bottom of the microwave and stuck his head right through it. Nice.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Thrilling. Absolutely thrilling. What a way to live your life. You think of what I'm thinking? What? Ramble live show. Ramble live show on Mr. Microwave.
Starting point is 00:05:44 That'd be great yeah just cook my head it's no more insane than some of the ideas you have got uh peter if i had if i right jammed like just basically drilled um a hole into the bottom of a microwave right plugged it in and i put it on my head like and and started to cook my own head, how long would it take for someone to rescue me? I reckon I'd be tossed. I'd be done. I'd be budwired.
Starting point is 00:06:18 You'd have to circumvent the safety feature of the microwave, right? Because it wouldn't start, would it? Yeah, it would start. And I don't think there's any electrons in the base. It's only that motor that moves the microwave around. So it won't start when the doors open, obviously, famously. Yeah, well, I'm not going through the door. I'm going through the bottom.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Okay. The more pertinent question for me would be, how long would it take to do some genuine damage to your head? I think it'd be under 10 seconds. 10 seconds is a long time. under 10 seconds like i don't know has anyone got any grounding i don't know this has been done yeah there might be a reason i remember like reading about a chef who's um there was a microwave at like kind of like hip level and he started having terrible kidney problems because his kidneys were just really close to
Starting point is 00:07:01 this leaking microwave which is just a horrific story. But yeah, I reckon under 10 seconds. Sometimes things haven't been done before because they're amazing ideas that no one's thought of yet. Sometimes they've not been done before because it'd be a bad thing to do. Some deaths are like proper like proper to, like
Starting point is 00:07:19 genuinely makes you feel sick to think about it. What a horrible way to go. Yeah, you remember the Darwin Awards? My dad used to get a book from, I think, his brother like every year. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Darwin Awards from that year, so people who've died in the most ridiculous circumstances.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah, yeah. And some of them are just absolutely ridiculous. You know, like the ones I remember, the guy who, there was a guy who died because he fell from a skyscraper because he was trying to show a group of students that the windows were unbreakable. Right, okay, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the sort of thing you get told and you just trust, don't you?
Starting point is 00:07:57 You don't need to necessarily stress test them. No, another one would be that guy who went to North Sentinel Island. Was he the Jesus guy? Yeah, he was told over and over again, don't go there, they're going to kill you. Don't go there. They are not into us. He was obviously delusionally religious. Like, you know, oh, it'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:08:16 God will sort it out, you know. Yeah, God has sorted it out. Yeah, yeah. Let us know how you get on when you see him. There's your Alpha Cos, dickhead. Yeah, exactly. I keep squeaking my foot on the chair, by the way. It course dickhead yeah exactly I keep squeaking my foot on the chair by the way
Starting point is 00:08:26 it's not me farting stop squeaking your foot on the chair yeah listen crying out loud oh squeaking I sent you a video
Starting point is 00:08:33 of two lads that I find they're jeepery on Twitter very amusing I'll find their names it's Tom Lawrenson and Sam O'Leary they're two little sketch lads
Starting point is 00:08:44 little sketch lads. Little sketch lads. All of us probably. Two lads who just do sketches and stuff. And one of the sketches that I sent you was the Gordon Ramsay one. Oh, it's brilliant. It's fucking brilliant. Are you going to put fart noises over the top of this?
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah, it's so funny. Check it out on Tom Lawrenson. Check it out. Mr. Sam O'Leary. It makes me laugh. Brilliant. I still watch an episode of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares UK once a week at least. Yeah. It makes me laugh. Brilliant. I still watch an episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares UK
Starting point is 00:09:06 once a week at least. Yeah. And there's not enough episodes. That's the problem. What do you mean? I don't like it when they repeat these TV shows on digital television, though,
Starting point is 00:09:15 because there's just too many ad breaks. Too many ad breaks. Yeah, so they don't... So they only really, as far as I know, they only repeat the US one, which I think is actually coming back. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:24 But the UK one, there's only about US one, which I think is actually coming back. Right. But the UK one is only about 15 episodes. Which, when you think about it, the show you love watching more than anything else is the US Office, right? Yeah. It's about 250 episodes, isn't it? It's become a bit of a routine for me. Yeah, nine seasons, eight seasons, 25 per. Yeah, so I wish we had that on the old UK Kitchen Nightmares. I basically just wish Gordon Ramsay
Starting point is 00:09:46 was on every single restaurant in the UK. Yeah, okay. It's just a sensational piece of TV. I think it's the best fly on the wall show ever. It's brilliant. Peter, anyway, let's get through a couple more emails because we always get a backlog because we never end up doing them.
Starting point is 00:10:01 And so I would like to read this one from Joe who says, afternoon chaps i was driving home from the chiropractor in leon c this afternoon oh listening there are a few chiropractors in in leon c are there there's i just think there's a lot of back injuries people sort of i don't know rolling down the hill towards the sea i don't know why people have so many um bone and ligament i think people think it's people carrying all their money in their backpacks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:27 He says, I was listening to Pete talking around about slugging a line of Brucey's ashes. That's a ramble thing at the moment. He said,
Starting point is 00:10:35 the wonderful moment of serendipity, what do I see on my right but a Toyota Sentry parked up. Uh-oh. After months of hearing about the car.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I've been spotted. Uh-oh. After months of hearing about the car. Someone knows where I live. Uh-oh. It was great to see it in the wild, to see it in the flesh while listening to Pete was a treat. To celebrate, I placed a snail and a spider under the bonnet. No, the ear teller. But he said he spotted your car out in the wild. Spotted my car out in the wild. Right. Okay. Yeah. I think I know where that chiropractor is then. I've come to the conclusion that, so I was cycling home the other day and if you're a cyclist in London, you just get shouted at a lot, right? I'm sure, no, at least half the time. Do you though? Because I...
Starting point is 00:11:15 I should have my headphones on. Yeah, don't do that. Anyway, so people just shout at you, you know, car drivers and pedestrians, whatever. Hey, know where you're slag. What? I was cycling through, I've been to see a your slag. What? And I was cycling through.
Starting point is 00:11:25 I'd been to see a mate for lunch in Hackney. And I was cycling back from there. And I was cycling down a cycle path. And a guy just started shouting at me. And I was like, okay. And the way he was shouting wasn't like an aggressive calling me a cunt type thing. In which case I would just ignore it and carry on. He was shouting
Starting point is 00:11:45 in a way that was like oh what have i dropped something or my bag open or something so i stopped on the cycle path about 50 meters from him and i could see him in the distance and he just goes all right i was like yeah he goes uh i'm uh i'm listening to you right now I was like oh okay great thanks for listening no worries and then just put his headphone back
Starting point is 00:12:11 and just carried on walking and I'm not being ungrateful for it but I'm just saying what's the purpose what's the purpose I don't know I think it's a nice thing though isn't it
Starting point is 00:12:24 it's exciting but sometimes people will come up to you and they'll say and this does happen and they'll say oh look I love the show please don't stop making the show I just love listening to it so much or I've been through a bit of a difficult time and you guys really cheered me up
Starting point is 00:12:38 and that's all really nice and I'm very appreciative of that but if you're just going to do that thing can't you just text me or sorry tweet me just go i just saw you i love the show you've you've inconvenienced us both for no real outcome there he's just excited why why do you not have joy in your soul i'll tell you one i'll tell you one um that i don't think i've shared on this point anyway um last week i'm week, I'm in a field. I'm in a... No bad story starts like this. Last week,
Starting point is 00:13:08 I'm in a field. An area of natural beauty. And there's a little cafe in this sort of golf course, I think. And I pop in and a lad goes, oh, Pete,
Starting point is 00:13:20 how you doing? You know, I enjoy one of the shows, presumably. It's always either it's always really weirdly either a broad Japan
Starting point is 00:13:28 on this one these days I don't know why yeah I get a lot of Luke and Pete chat yeah and which doesn't
Starting point is 00:13:35 hasn't made me raise my game on this show but I think people like the fact that you are like in some ways really bad right but still really good
Starting point is 00:13:43 I think it's relatable yeah but I don't think it'd bring really good i think it's relatable yeah but i don't think it'd bring i don't think on boards new listeners no but jake humphrey ain't gonna broadcast like you broadcast is he it's a good point actually yeah i get up at a reasonable hour um and i uh and and so i i went back outside and sarah went back in to buy some dog treats or whatever. And the lad who I'd said hello to had fainted. So, I'm just saying, Luke. I'm just saying, Luke.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Alright, fine. It was probably unrelated. But, there's potential for me to be as big as the Beatles. But, do you know for sure that he fainted because he saw you? Well, of course he didn't.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I don't know why. He wasn't really excited about the breakfast. But the correlation is amusing. The idea that I would think that he fainted because he saw me. No, but I think he could have loved the show, got really excited. He could have been his favourite person on the show and he might not have had any breakfast because blood sugar was low and it happened.
Starting point is 00:14:45 It can happen. Can happen. Can happen. I came to the conclusion. Football Ramble Live. Test your mettle. I came to the conclusion that it's probably better
Starting point is 00:14:56 to be really, really, really famous than slightly known to some people because the element of being slightly known to some people because the element of being slightly known to some people always comes along and you're never fully prepared or expect it. Whereas if you're super famous, you're normally wealthy and you can adjust your lifestyle accordingly
Starting point is 00:15:18 knowing that anytime you leave the house, you have to live in a certain way because everyone knows who you are. The most ideal famous famous not famous people is like the guitarist out of coldplay you know i mean that is i that is ideal level of fame you walked on the street very easily but you are fucking minted yeah people that's exactly right ideal you you you get your fair share of all that stuff. You get to enjoy the experience of playing live with loads of people and doing some music and stuff that really helps people in their lives
Starting point is 00:15:55 and gets them a lot of enjoyment. The more thoughtful groupies, et cetera. Yeah. The groupies who are not... To be fair, though, I think there's probably a group... Contrarian. Contrarian groupies. Yeah. The groupies who are not... To be fair, though, I think there's probably a group... Contrarian. Contrarian groupies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I actually like this one the best, actually. Yeah. I'd actually quite like to smoosh that one. If I get in with you, can I get to him? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you'd happily fulfill that, because it's all meaningless. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:16:21 It's all meaningless. You're not like who you are. You can't talk about... You can't say that stuff these days, though, Peter. Can you? I don't know. It's not acceptable. Why is it not acceptable?
Starting point is 00:16:29 Power imbalance. Eh. Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, presumably... What? So you're not allowed... So presumably rock stars aren't allowed to have any sexual congress because of money and fame and attention.
Starting point is 00:16:41 They're not allowed to have any relationships with anyone. Yeah, good luck with that. Is that what you're saying, Luke? Is that what kind of world you live in? Good luck with that. What kind of world do you want to live in? No, I think, I think, look, cars on the table, I think consenting adults are consenting adults and, you know, that's that.
Starting point is 00:16:56 But a lot of people have posited that there is potential power imbalance. Oh, massively. Oh, it's all about that. Yeah, of course it is. Yeah. Of course it is. I guess it depends on the individual situation, right? I mean, I don't really know too all about that. Yeah, of course it is. Yeah. Of course it is. I guess it depends on the individual situation, right? I don't really know too much about it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 But the idea that you could be that successful, that famous, that wealthy, and not really be in the line of sight. Yeah. I used to think that you'd be annoyed about that because you're not getting the credit you deserve. But as I get older, I think, no, that's ideal. You would see how destructive it is with Chris Martin. You would see how awful it is to live your life as
Starting point is 00:17:26 one of those people awful apparently um sarah um had sarah's work in the um albert hall she's doing um announcements on stage a few weeks ago for the teenage cancer trust gigs and she um had a taxi driver who's taking her home to badgerton and she and she and the guy was saying that he is one of Taylor Swift's drivers right right and so they have
Starting point is 00:17:52 like three they have I mean obviously a lot's been said about her private jet use and stuff like that but they
Starting point is 00:17:59 rock up to wherever you know the hotel to take her to or from a you know private airfield or whatever to take her wherever they
Starting point is 00:18:07 get in, there's two decoy drivers I believe, and also they're all in Range Rovers that are like specially modified and they're in Range Rovers that are like mucky, like they make their cars look mucky so that people are thrown off the scent so it doesn't look like a VIP
Starting point is 00:18:24 situation so they cover their Their cars look mucky so that people are thrown off the scent so it doesn't look like a VIP situation. So they cover their cars in mud to make it look dirty. Right. And basically he carries her off the plane or from someplace into the back, into the boot of the car. What? In a body bag. What?
Starting point is 00:18:42 And he says, I don't even carry my wife like this. I don't know what I'm holding. You know, and this little skinny waif sticking her in the boot of a car, right? For what reason? And then she clambers through into the back of the car. This is insane. I don't know. But you always see, like, stars, they get moved around in flight cases around.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Do they? Like the O2. Yeah, like everyone's, they're always in flight cases around uh do they like the o2 yeah like everyone's they're always in flight cases aren't they if you say if you're watching like a yeah on on a big production if like taylor swift needs to get from one place in the auditorium to another they go in flight cases because it just looks like you know that's probably just full of guitars or something but it's it's got taylor swift in there i just think it's a bit kinky yeah i just think she's a bit kinky. Yeah. I just think she's into it.
Starting point is 00:19:26 This is like blowing my mind a bit. I just assumed there'd be like passageways underneath that you could walk through and stuff. Yeah, I don't know. Well, I think it's the easier way to do it. I don't know. Just get in a flight case. In Portcullis House,
Starting point is 00:19:37 which is one of the offices where MPs have their offices and stuff in Parliament, there's a tunnel underneath from Portcullis House to the House of Parliament and it's also their own separate entrance and exit
Starting point is 00:19:51 to Westminster tube station as well right okay so you have to have a pass to get through it I'd love to but I'd never do
Starting point is 00:19:59 I've eaten in Portcullis House a couple of times and the prices are astonishingly cheap yeah it's all subsidised I've actually I've had I've had in Portcullis House a couple of times and the prices are astonishingly cheap. Yeah, it's all subsidised. I've actually, I've had beers in the Strangers Bar and stuff as well. A few of my friends are advisors in government.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Anyway, I had no idea about the flight case thing ever. Yeah. That's crazy. Just get in. So I don't think I'd want to be like that famous to be honest no it's kind of like but it reminds me of like
Starting point is 00:20:28 I remember like one of the Wrestlemania's I think Doink the Clown had to sit underneath a ring for like about
Starting point is 00:20:37 four hours right sit waiting for him to jump out underneath the I think there were two Doinks two clowns that were identical
Starting point is 00:20:44 and oh I remember that one of them had to out underneath the i think there were two doinks two two clowns that were identical and uh one of them at one of one of them at a sit underneath the ring doing can think i think and uh and and and yeah and it's just you know in a hot on a on a hot day uh in like probably texas or something just sat under a ring for five hours oh Ugh. Absolutely gross. And knowing Vince McMahon's operation, he'd probably be pretty well looked after though, right? Yeah, exactly. He gives you a bottle of water and just in case you get too hot and it turns out to be pure anabolic steroids.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Where's Dink? He's dead. He's died, isn't he? He's undone. So, you know, I read a story a while back about the wrestler Nails do you remember Nails?
Starting point is 00:21:27 who got booted out of WWF because apparently and I don't know how true this is but given the latest kind of stuff that's been going on wouldn't be too keen to doubt it he broke into the WWF
Starting point is 00:21:43 and became this wrestler and he was having these big matches in big events and stuff. I just, Vince McMahon just wouldn't pay him. Just wouldn't get paid. And eventually it came to a head and he just went into Vince McMahon's office, grabbed him,
Starting point is 00:21:55 pinned him on the floor, started choking him out until he paid him. Vince just got him arrested and that was that. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't fuck with the big,
Starting point is 00:22:04 they're all big boys you know what I mean yeah I bet Haku got paid massive apparently the world's hardest man who would just pop an eye
Starting point is 00:22:13 as soon as he'd look at you oh that wrestling that wrestling movie I told you it's the greatest it's the greatest ostensibly formal business meeting moment
Starting point is 00:22:21 I've ever seen in that wrestling movie where Vince McMahon's not really interested in that wrestling he wants to try out for the WWF but he hears on the grapevine
Starting point is 00:22:27 that he can puke on demand so he gets him into the office and starts gets him a bin and just starts trying to make him puke puke yeah and then he has a tearful
Starting point is 00:22:35 conversation with his mum saying I think I'm in I think I'm in I do have to do a lot of puke Jesus he was he had
Starting point is 00:22:44 he injured himself and was quadriplegic. He died not that long ago, that guy. That's sad. Doesn't ever tend to really end very well,
Starting point is 00:22:52 does it? Well, going through a whole like NFL career and then, you know, getting, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:57 doing a bit of wrestling and then really, really hurting yourself. Oh, well. Let's have a break, Peter. When we come back, I've got an email here I want to do
Starting point is 00:23:03 and then we'll just do some other bits and pieces as well so don't go anywhere okay we're back with the Luke and Pete show Luke I love love love
Starting point is 00:23:11 love love love I know we you know we speak about AI being dreadful and the what's bad in the world seems to be very talentless people
Starting point is 00:23:20 pushing out really amazing looking stuff with just a prompt Captain Tom I'm glad he is oh yeah there's talentless people um pushing out really amazing looking stuff with just a prompt um captain tom i'm glad it is oh yeah there's i don't know what app it is but there's i they basically if they take a video of your choice and they they can figure out what the body is doing at any time you know basically build a skeletal kind of representation of what that person is doing in the video and the footage. And then you, and then they can
Starting point is 00:23:49 basically put a, any person, uh, visage body into that footage. And it looks the fluidity and, um, effectiveness. It looks bloody incredible. So you got captain Tom scoring, uh, um, I think I'm scoring against when I think Gerrard slipped or something or whoever slipped Captain Tom just run towards goal and just slot in one home past the goalkeeper
Starting point is 00:24:12 and also when he was on gladiators Captain Tom how am I doing boss? it's such good it's such a lovely app and I cannot get enough of it and I'm glad that we have this technology. Oh, it's great.
Starting point is 00:24:25 The rest of AI I could very much leave. But this form of kind of like patching in famous people from history into gladiators is just something else. It's also not problematic or offensive because nothing can denigrate the memory of Captain Tom anymore than his own family's done. Exactly. His legacy. You're at the back of the queue for denigrating that man's memory. Has the spa been knocked down yet yeah it has
Starting point is 00:24:47 they didn't seek plan permission for it and they yeah they had to knock it all down I think yeah it's almost as if
Starting point is 00:24:56 the family who took Captain Tom on holiday despite the fact of him being a very old man and eventually him dying of COVID
Starting point is 00:25:04 I think it was in the end wasn't it you sort of think they're not they're not the best planners they don't they're very kind of like let's just get this done better to do it and say sorry afterwards yeah better to beg for forgiveness ask for permission like there was there's just so much stuff come out about that whole foundation which is like really really sad like delicious apparently the first year the foundation spent 240 000 pounds on management and fundraising cost and just gave away i gave away just 160 000 pounds and the daughter um why clef-esque yeah the daughter the daughter did the thing didn't she where she they set up like an awards like and it was like sponsored by a couple of companies and it was like
Starting point is 00:25:45 it was like a Captain Tom Foundation awards for different things and then it came out that she the daughter was a judge on there because she was on the board
Starting point is 00:25:55 and she run the foundation yeah but then the foundation paid her 18 grand to do the judgment judging
Starting point is 00:26:03 and it's like yeah okay we this is not it's like, yeah, okay. We, this is not, it's not even the perfect crime, is it? Shall I ask,
Starting point is 00:26:10 David, can I have the deal? Yeah, exactly. It's exactly like that. So everyone's doing this, everyone's giving up their time for charity. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:19 We're kind of giving up our time, but you know, time is money. Anyway, so, I also read something actually fairly recently from her saying that um that she um do you remember that interview on the news where she had made captain tom into a
Starting point is 00:26:32 a chair oh a chair yeah and she was saying she was basically pleading poverty saying oh yeah the mistakes have been made and stuff but actually the charity is not going to exist for much longer um so people need to ever think about that so yeah it's not going to exist much longer people aren't going to give you any fucking money because they don't want the money to go yeah you've run out of cash for crying out loud
Starting point is 00:26:47 anyway Jordan's been in touch anyway he says hi guys noticed on a recent episode you chatted about pop music and knowing that Luke is a keen reader
Starting point is 00:26:56 just wanted to throw a suggestion out there Reach for the Stars by Michael Craig is an excellent book it covers the UK pop music scene during the late 90s
Starting point is 00:27:03 and early 2000s when the likes of Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller were throwing their weight around. Particular highlights include members of Five being backstage with Liam Gallagher who offered them a bang on this and it turned out to be a bop-it that he pulled out from his bag.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Oh, lovely. Which is great. Lee from Blue blasting a fire extinguisher, Alan Shearer. And Max Martin playing Hit Me Baby One More Time to Five for one of them just to tell him it's a shit song and they should give it to that teenage girl he was talking about.
Starting point is 00:27:32 What a great Slidendoors moment that is. Yeah, just, I mean, are these kind of, remember when, like, was it no, who's the fella who used to be in Hollyoaks? Here's a question for you. Was it Callum Best? Was he in Hollyoaks for a bit? No, it's the fella who used to be in Hollyoaks? Here's a question for you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Who was... Was it Callum Best? Was he in Hollyoaks for a bit? Is it Callum Best? Anyway, I think it was Callum Best. Bit of a kind of socialite, you know, a little bit like his father, but like his late father.
Starting point is 00:27:57 But a bit of a socialite kind of bloke who was around about the... He could easily have slotted into blue as like a seventh member, however many they've got. It's not Callum Best. Is it Paul Danan? Might be Paul Danan
Starting point is 00:28:12 who did that Instagram kind of expose thing where he was just talking about doing Charlie. It's Paul Dangerous Danan. Just talking about doing drugs with like pop stars and stuff. He did a show with... They would not thank him. He did a show with Callum Best, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:28:26 Right. What was it called? It had a really funny name. Best and Da Nang. No, it wasn't. It was funnier than that. Like Best in Da Land. It was with Callum Best and Fran Cosgrove.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Remember Fran Cosgrove? Oh, God, yeah. These men. And it was called... He became inexplicably famous because he was a bodyguard for Westlife or something. But the TV show was them traveling around the US, I think, and it was called Callum Fran and Dangerous Danann. Anyway, what were you going to say about Paul Danann?
Starting point is 00:28:56 I think it was Danann who was posting on Instagram, and it was these massive exposés about the sugar babes and stuff. Yeah, I remember that, yeah. It was really unhelpful stuff. Yeah. That was a good couple of weeks. Very enjoyable. I, the sugar babes and stuff. Yeah, I remember that, yeah. It was really unhelpful stuff. Yeah. That was a good couple of weeks. Very enjoyable. I think that is a really interesting time. I might read that, actually.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I'll grab it on the Kindle and give it a bash. It shouldn't take me long to read it based on the anecdotes that Jordan's recommended there, but that would be fun. Pre-camera phone, man. Pre-camera phone.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Fun. It's like, I find it quite interesting recently when Sharon Osbourne, who, of course, fun. Fun. It's like, I find it quite interesting recently when Sharon Osbourne, who of course was the judge on some of these things, and Amanda Holden had a big bust up and Sharon Osbourne's put down of Holden was sensational. Because Holden said in the bust up something like,
Starting point is 00:29:41 oh, Osbourne's only done what she's done because she's in Simon Cowell's pocket and then Sharon Osbourne who admittedly probably isn't blameless in this I think it all comes from the celebrity big brother where her and Louis Walsh were gossiping about everyone
Starting point is 00:29:53 and Holden got offended Osbourne then listed all of her achievements as an artist manager before she even met Simon Cowell obviously she was like the Ozzy Osbourne's manager she was managing a load of massive artists like her for whatever you think about her her management of of rock and roll stars
Starting point is 00:30:10 has garnered something like a hundred million records like she's she's got a massive like back catalog of stuff she's done i just thought it's quite funny to see her kind of really flex have a massive flex about it because in a way it's quite weird that she ended up doing that stuff because she was really like she basically just did metal music really i think for the most part it's the osborns wasn't it it's the osborns what did it i think jack osborn has a new tv show every single week uh where he just goes out on ghost adventures but there's just so many like jack osborns if you were like you know jackass were back with you if you were inhabited like the sort of late 90s kind of mtv sort of thing like you it's it's amazing how much work you can get you know
Starting point is 00:30:52 no one thinks about jack osborne no one thinks about kelly osborne but they'll work probably later than the dad ever did you know just because they were famous at a really at a really important time where there was only a few channels. Yeah, I know what you mean. Big channels. But Sharon Osbourne basically co-founded Ozfest with Ozzy Osbourne
Starting point is 00:31:11 and at one point she was managing Motorhead, Ozzy Osbourne and the Smashing Pumpkins. I wouldn't fuck with that. Nah, exactly. I wouldn't fuck with that. Although that would be
Starting point is 00:31:20 a good bonus episode of the show. You fucking around. Have you interviewed Sharon Osbourne? Again, it's like the spoon in the bathroom I've got no cause to use it but you used to do everything
Starting point is 00:31:29 I've got no cause to interview Sharon Osbourne it doesn't mean you didn't stop you before yeah but she was in very much her she wasn't in her
Starting point is 00:31:35 metal generation she was very much in her I've done you know the Smashing Pumpkins a few times but she was very much you and Billy
Starting point is 00:31:42 kind of bonding over wrestling yeah a little bit yeah I think yeah he's got like it's but you and Billy you and Billy kind of bonding over wrestling yeah a little bit yeah I think yeah he's got some funny opinions
Starting point is 00:31:50 he's he's as a wrestling promoter and outside I always found that quite a rogue move from him
Starting point is 00:31:56 I was very surprised actually quite pleasantly surprised to see that he was well into it yeah well I think he sort of he made the point
Starting point is 00:32:02 that wrestling has always accepted him but rock rock and roll hasn't which I think is a nice point that wrestling has always accepted him but rock and roll hasn't which I think is a nice sort of that is funny
Starting point is 00:32:08 he did make some horrific people champions in his company for which he'll never be forgiven all the wrestling company in America
Starting point is 00:32:14 no exactly alright then that's about it for us we've been Luke and Pete Shaw for another Thrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Monday.
