I gave up yesterday, but they still want more.
I won't take no for an answer. I just want to be a dancer now.
The song Tomorrow There from the child's Cinema Classic, Bugsy Malone.
Child's Cinema Classic?
Child's Cinema.
I thought that was Adele.
Yeah.
Imagine if she just came out and she pretended that,
right, I've eschewed the use of all writing people in my life
and I'm just going to write an album from the heart,
from Adele's heart to your ears,
and she just
did all songs and bugs him alone what's put that in your mind um i want to be a boxer luke um no
no i don't know to be honest i'd really love to see you be a boxer i think it was literally somebody
just said the word tomorrow and then i started singing that and that's all that's all it takes
that's all it takes to be quite frankly go for the to be quite frankly. And you didn't go for the classic from the musical Annie?
It's a Hard Knock Life.
That's the only one I know from that one, to be honest.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you.
Oh, yes.
No, no.
Bugsy Malone was a big part of my life.
Why?
We covered one of the songs in One-Eyed Willie.
Did you?
You did a pop punk version of one of the songs?
Did a pop punk cover, and then we went to see...
What if Bugsy Mal did a pop punk version of one of the songs? Did a pop punk cover and then we went to see What if Bogsy Malone
was pop punk?
We went to watch
Four Foot Fingers
at the Leicester Charlotte
and realised that
they also did one
much more accomplished
than our version
and I was like
we should have been out there
doing this
now Four Foot Fingers
are you know
you remember
Four Foot Fingers
the ones that top the charts
you know
Four Foot Fingers
the name on everybody's lips in 2024.
They're the ones who really ran with their Boogie Malone cover.
So at university, I used to live with a guy who was very much like similar taste in things
to you.
Right, okay.
And I'm pretty sure four-foot fingers would have come along.
I mean, he was mad caddies.
He was real big fish.
Whoa, four-foot fingers.
I think that was one of their songs.
Was it?
Whoa, four-foot fingers. Oh, no, it wasn't think that was one of their songs. Was it?
Whoa, four foot fingers.
Oh, no, it wasn't.
It was Last Man Standing.
Completely was not four foot fingers.
It was Last Man Standing.
That was their big song.
Never mind.
The way you started that, it sounded a bit like, whoa, whoa, WrestleMania.
That's a Simon Cowell song.
I can believe it.
I know, right?
I think he was blobby as well, wasn't he?
Was he blobby?
Oh, I'm a bit annoyed about that.
I love Mr Blobby.
I think he might have been Zig and Zag even.
Did Zig and Zag have a song?
They were Irish, weren't they?
Yeah.
They were Irish, weren't they? Yeah, they had a song.
So, you know, Simon Cowell's got his dirty mitts on many, many things that he doesn't get credit for.
I bet he spent no money on his mitts.
He spent it all on his face and none on his mitts.
Maybe he should just deal with that.
Is it kind of bad form and un-British
to kind of comment on someone's plastic surgery?
Or is it fine?
No, because his whole stock in trade
is very much talking about people's appearance.
Slacking people off.
Yeah, slacking people off, really.
So I think he deserves everything.
I remember Jimmy Carr talking about,
I think it was on Rogan,
sort of saying,
I went to my plastic surgeon
and I wanted this done
and I wanted that done
and this plastic surgeon said,
no.
Right.
And that's what Simon Cowell's man
or woman should have been doing.
Should have said,
no.
What does Jimmy Carr want,
plastic surgery?
I mean, look at him.
He's clearly,
he's clearly had bits and bobs done,
but quite good stuff,
bits and bobs.
I think he wanted the,
to look more handsome.
I think he wanted the fat sucked out of,
the sort of lower,
the jowls.
But then when you're older,
you don't want to look too drawn,
because then you want to put back in.
And he basically says,
you know,
we don't even be around for a couple of years. And then you want me to put it back in again so no not doing it
not doing it for me i mean i am someone who is astonishingly vain right as in like i will
i will i will spend a lot of my time you know um looking at myself in the mirror right thinking about giving you a little kissy
faces yeah all that kind of stuff silently mouthing it's all for you i would never other
than potentially having my teeth done if i was brave enough i'd never have anything done so i
can't imagine what kind of plane these guys are on um where they want this kind of stuff because
for someone like jimmy carr he's an older
guy he's a comedian he's already successful like i totally understand the societal pressure that
say certain young women feel put under but i don't really see how jimmy carr's a kind of victim of
that is he well especially because jimmy because comedians by their very nature if you're too
handsome you can't people i don't think people like your comedy all that much I think when you
they're resentful
it's like actors as well
people like Brad Pitt
probably doesn't get
the respect he deserves
as an actor
yeah
he'll have to make
a lot of money
I think with
yeah I think
the weirder looking you are
I think
it makes you a better stand up
makes you a better comedian
but I think
yeah nobody's looking
at Jimmy Carr going
yes
he's just kind of a very identikit looking bloke but he but I think yeah nobody's looking at jimmy car going yes i'm glad he's just kind of a very
identikit looking bloke but he but i think he kind of swims with in a bigger pool in england
really and i think he swims in america where i think being a hansy dancy uh mancy in that that
kind of sphere i think is kind of okay i think you can be a bit james corden's got james corden
carrot top he's had a load of stuff done.
He's a big muscle man, isn't he?
Yeah, he looks crazy now.
He looks mad.
The bloke who did the music for The Simpsons.
Who's that?
Not Dan Castelletto.
No, the music.
That guy is astonishingly muscular.
Like Feldman?
Is he a Feldman?
I think.
Hang on.
Music from Simpsons
who
the only thing I can offer
on that note
is have you seen
how muscly
the kind of
50 something guitar player
from Def Leppard is
no
I've not got a bloody clue
he looks absolutely ridiculous
give Danny Elfman
oh I know
Danny Elf um topless um he just looks
really funny because he's got very very very red hair and i think it might be accentuated a little
bit and he's got loads of tattoos and he's incredibly muscular um and he's on stage at
corchella doing doing what he does best like create amazing music. But he wrote the theme tune to The Simpsons.
He must have been minted.
Yeah, he must be minted.
But, well, he spent it on weights, I think,
and good powder, creating powder.
I've just sent you a picture of the guitar player from Def Leppard.
Right, okay.
Yeah, Danny Alford looks absolutely insane.
Oh, man, he looks great.
Wowzers.
He looks amazing.
I mean, you would take your
I like his
I like that he's got
what looks like
a sort of gang tattoo
I'd love to pour
some sugar on him
no sugar please
I think he's like
he's like always been
like vegan
right
workout kind of guy
he's not
I don't think there's
anything I'm fake about
I think he's just
been a lot of stuff
you get that sometimes
in rock
who is the
there's a few
That kind of rockers
Who have always like
I mean the bloke
Who did
TV Party
Who's that band
Henry Rollins
Henry Rollins has always been
Oh the Henry Rollins band
Yeah Henry Rollins has always been
A couple of
A couple of others
That I can't remember
Being like
Absolutely ginormous
Kind of muscle guys.
It's surprising you don't see that more.
I think maybe New Metal kind of
saw off all those muscle men
in the 80s. Yeah, because then they all got a bit of Fred Durst
and they back them to that massive t-shirt.
They all got a bit of Tailgate Party, Super Bowl
kind of guys. Anyway, this is
the Luke and Pete show. What a fucking
long time open that was. Yeah, it's the Luke and Pete show.
It's kind of how it operates.
I think...
Sometimes we get disrupted by
Lukey's little cat-cats,
but Sammy's doing a good number
in tearing up the floor tiles
in the apology cabin,
so he cannot get enough of it, Luke.
I wish I had an apology cabin.
I'm going to have to pause recording in a bit
when the wife I access to comes through
to get a bottle made for my son.
Well, we can have as much fun as we had
the last time we recorded the show.
Oh, yeah.
Try to stitch me up.
Try to stitch you up, yeah.
Try to make me out to be some kind of pervert,
even though you're PT Pumps to pervert
and I'm a normal person.
As I said on the Football Ramble WhatsApp,
when I was coming home from a record last week,
some naughty teenagers kept trying to airdrop me,
gay pornography.
Oh, yes.
I wanted to ask you about this.
So just so people get it,
because yes, you did hear that right.
Pete announced to us last week
that he was on a train on the way home from work
during the day
and a couple of local near-do-well delinquents...
It was a boy trying to impress a girl.
It was a boy trying to impress a girl.
I reckon it was probably a couple of the kids from Stranger Things
with their BMXs on the train
started trying to airdrop you some homosexual pornography.
Yeah, I mean, I guess homosexuality is in the eye of the beholder.
I think people know what homosexuality is, Peter.
Yeah, no, I mean, like, as in,
it was a man with an erection sort of waving it, I think.
I think.
It basically airdropped it in my corner.
You clicked accept, did you?
Did not click accept.
I looked at it and I went,
that looks like a man with an erect penis in his hands.
Yeah.
Like, does that necessarily make a gay?
It's just a man.
Just a man hanging brain, baby. Just solo. necessarily make a gay just a man just a man
man popping his popping his willy out um but i i don't know what they expected because he had a
he had two goals at it and i didn't click except once i just how far away were they from you
literally the next seat and was your was your macbook still um, please send me as much cake as possible?
I'm hungry for the sausage.
I sort of looked over at them and sort of went, really?
I didn't say really.
I was like, but they wouldn't look at me.
So they couldn't.
They couldn't.
So then I've got to make the first move and go, is that you in the picture?
Do you fancy accompanying me to the... All of a sudden, you're a paedophile.
Exactly.
All of a sudden, I'm a paedophile.
I mean, to be be honest I couldn't see
with the picture
it could actually
have been the kid himself
and then
then where would we be
that's difficult
that's difficult
I think they were of age
the lad had a tattoo
but I mean it was
very much
save that for the statement
save that for the witness statement
it could be a watermark
on the picture
my lord
can I please offer you
this evidence
circumstantial as it may be
that this nipper
was of age because he had a tattoo
he had a tattoo and if
you can't trust
a scratch
performer in the tattoo world
who can you trust? I think trying to airdrop
you, gay pornography
is almost a bit like trying to slap
an MMA fighter
I did feel a little bit like that
they've got got a Thanos.
I mean, like,
strap yourselves in,
mate.
Like, that's going to go in a folder
and he's going to
look very vanilla
along with the
things in my
download folder,
Now I've got your
details.
You are going to
be bombarded by
confusing memes
every day for the
rest of your life
and it's going to
be on you.
Yeah, it's going
to be tub girl,
goatsy.
You know, I was
moulded by the internet for crying out Did you tell her so did you tell a bigger boy
about this indiscretion or just let it go um no i mean i did i think when you look like me
you're always going to look like you've started it somehow you know you you've kind of caused this so
yeah i mean it's not victim blaming but yeah it was most unwelcome but hey I've got two minutes
I know
how rare
how rare
for me to enjoy
victimhood
it's great
I love it
how did the situation
kind of transpire
after that
I just kept
licking my lips
going
I hope this keeps
happening
and then they got off
while I got off
so yeah
all good
all good
but he will
I wish maybe I should have accepted i wish maybe i should have accepted
the picture maybe i should have accepted the picture and went wow
for a while whoa yeah i can't get enough of this keep going whoever's sending me this
and start sharing it around to everyone else on the carriage. Yes, sending it round. Lovely.
It's just such a weird flex by those kids, though,
because what are they trying to...
Normally, how old were they, about 18, 19?
Yeah, about that.
It was a boy trying to impress a...
He's quite old to be doing that kind of stuff.
Well, it's a boy trying to impress a girl.
Oh, there's a girl there?
Yeah, it was a boy trying to impress a girl,
and she was giggling, and he was giggling,
and so I looked over,
and then they just sort of didn't look at me.
I'm like, guys, at least acknowledge that you've got your little joke.
I saw a three pixel penis.
You got me to look at a three pixel penis.
I don't know why you're looking at them.
You don't normally have eye contact with anyone.
Exactly, no.
Well, they started it with bringing their eyes over to me.
So, yeah.
Oh, well.
It's a troubling thing to happen. It eyes over to me. So, yeah. Oh, well. It's a troubling thing to happen on a train.
It's a troubling thing, so, yeah.
And I think also I'm right in saying that you sent me a message earlier this week.
It was a photo of you sitting in your car, not that car, annoyingly.
No.
Around the corner from your house drinking a big bottle of bigger juice on your own.
Yeah.
Why were you doing that?
Do you not feel like you can take your kind of soft drinks into the house anymore no i'd gone to the
shops and i was like all the way through going through um i'm gonna say i went to waitress i'm
so sorry um i know what would your parents think about that uh they'd probably like it they wouldn't
like the prices but they'd be very into the food that they're eating.
I came back from Waitrose and I was like,
like all the way through Waitrose,
I was like, there's a shop at the end of my road
that I've just realised makes bigger juice.
Makes?
Doesn't make.
Serves.
Serves.
That's how they made it.
Like moonshine bigger juice.
It's a beautiful sort of Jamaican punch. It's like very, very sweet. um it's a beautiful sort of um uh sort of jamaican punch it's like very
very sweet and it's the best and it reminds me of moving to london for the first time
anyway um and so i uh yeah so i basically went and um and and and all the way through waitress
i was thinking i want a big juice i want a big juice every all of this is just a goddamn entree
this is a this is all of this food and drink i'm buying now it's not going to say to me as well as a bigger juice uh and so i parked up outside the um outside
the place got myself three bottles of bigger juice and sat in my car and i basically hoovered
up an entire bottle of bigger juice by myself listening to um dark spot Talkspot. In a 12-year-old Jag.
Are you Ian Five Ancles?
You are Ian Five Ancles.
I'm Ian Five Ancles.
In a massive Jag, it's too big for you.
Drinking bigger juice, listening to Talkspot.
Why did you choose to do that?
You never listened to it when I was late, you fucking wanker.
I just really wanted a bloody bigger juice.
Yeah, but I don't understand why you chose this in the talk sport.
It was my preset, and to be honest, I was so into drinking the bigger juice,
I couldn't be arsed to change it.
What would happen if the partner you had access to came out just to do the bins or whatever
and just saw you sitting there in your car?
I think she'd be disappointed, but she'd understand that this is where it was always going to end up,
to be honest.
You just didn't want to go into the house with it,
or did you want a bit of peace and quiet?
I just could not wait to drink the bigger juice,
and I was like, Jesus, this looks a bit sad, doesn't it?
And Andy Brassel, I don't think it's munging him off to tell this story,
but he said that there was a man who used to live in his street
who wasn't allowed to drink or smoke in the house with the family,
so he used to sit in his car just drinking cans and listening to the radio.
And I was like, yeah, it's not far off that, is it?
That's part of me.
When he said that story, because I heard him say that story,
that was part of me, a small part of me,
I was thinking, that doesn't sound that bad.
No.
No, he's keeping the booze away from the kids.
He's having tabs.
It sounds good. Does that sound good? It sounds good. No one to bother keeping the booze away from the kids. He's having tabs. Like, it just, it sounds good.
Does that sound good? It sounds good.
No one to bother you.
Have we kind of, because I find the very idea of a man cave,
or caves in general, I think, are just absolutely cringe, mate.
I think calling it a man cave is cringe,
but having your own space to enjoy your hobbies isn't that bad, is it?
No. Well, but yes, and yes, I think the term man cave
is probably right.
You're in a man cave now.
I know.
Well,
it's not really a dog cave.
The dog's taken over.
But a friend of mine's dad,
I remember,
I can't vividly remember this,
I used to go and
knock for him
on the way to the pub
when I lived back down south.
He lived not far from me.
Yeah.
And he,
occasionally his old man
would be in the car um um smoking a cigar yeah and like
it's basically because his mum wouldn't let him smoke him in the house or even in the garden
right and they had i guess they were kind of a little bit wealthier than we were so they had
two cars so he had like his own car his smoking car yeah so he used to smoke little cigars in
there and uh I always just
thought to myself
at the time
I was like
why is he doing that
but now I kind of
I mean I don't
kind of get it now
I kind of understand
why
because he's got
they're three boys
right
I can imagine
he just wanted a little bit
of peace and quiet
and his kids had got to the age
where he couldn't even
go to the local
because his kids
would be in the local
so like he just be in the local.
So he just sat in the car and listened to classic. I always remember he used to listen to classic FM.
That's quite a fancy, that's a real, I mean, that's money, that.
Smoking a cigar and listening to classic FM in a car, in a second car.
Yeah, but it's all a different shade of the same shit, though, isn't it?
Like, one person might be listening to talk sport, listening to bigger juice.
One person might be smoking a fucking Hamlet listening to Classic FM
you're all in the same
cesspit baby
why don't we all just go
to a car park
like a big drive-in
yeah
and just do whatever
we want to do
if you want to do some
Whitland you can do some
Whitland
if you want to play on
a Gameboy you can play
on a Gameboy
yeah
but just drive up
park up
yeah
do what you want
but do you remember
I remember kind of
when would it have been
I want to say
late 90s I was living in Gosport up yeah do what you want do you remember i remember kind of when would it have been i want to say late
90s um i was living in gosport yeah next little town along the town called fairham and it's
actually suella braverman's constituency right if you're a politic fan um and um in the fair
and market car park which is every saturday in fair is a massive car park and needs to be a market
there some people call it the market car park.
There would be a meet where all these people who loved cars
on, say, a Friday night
and sometimes they would modify their cars or whatever.
They would drive them to that car park.
And I kind of knew a couple of people who would do it.
Yeah.
And so it wasn't...
Donuts? Any donuts?
People getting absolutely ploughed
by somebody doing a donut in a metro?
That kind of stuff was going on but I don't think anyone got
killed.
It was always quite an intimidating
thing because the boys who had cars were bigger
boys and they were kind of with
money and it was kind of interesting
that that happened. So in a way what I'm trying to say
is that kind of stuff
was a scene where I grew up for a bit.
They weren't whittling no uh that i know of but they were kind of like comparing cars and looking at
each other's car stereos and stuff like that did that kind of thing happen growing up in newcastle
not really sorry i mean if if it did i wasn't really privy to it i left lived a very um
shantled life unfortunately i think there weren't that many people
who had cars, really,
that I knew.
I think maybe
there was a lad
called Paul Goff.
He had a car quite early,
I remember.
Good name, by the way.
Paul Goff.
Well, I think he's related
to a cricketing now referee.
He's quite a good cricketer.
Someone Goff, presumably.
His dad was a local radio DJ.
That's nice. Which is cool until you grow up was a local radio DJ which is that's nice
which is cool
until you grow up
and become a radio DJ
yourself and you realise
it's quite low level really
he was a real
he was a real local celebrity
but
but then you go
well was he
yeah
was he
I'm
I'm honestly like
so
unbelievably smart that I managed to have a national radio show right okay and the reason for that I'm honestly like so unbelievably smug
that I managed to have a national radio show.
Right, okay.
And the reason for that...
Do you chant that in the mirror
when you're doing kissy faces?
Well, no, the thing is,
this is almost like the world's shittest
Marvin Origins story.
Right.
But when I first went to college
and started doing kind of radio type stuff,
it was full of like proper radio nerds.
You had their radio voice and their radio names.
And one of them, and I will name check him.
I never had a problem.
I never had a problem with him.
I actually got on with him fine.
We'll give him both barrels then, mate.
It sounds like he's really pissed you off.
No, it's not what he's done to me, but he did do this.
Right.
His name was Darren Broadbent, but his broadcasting name is Darren Scott.
And I think he used to do the breakfast show on like Eagle fm or whatever right and that's as far as he got
and that's i think that's in essex isn't that's quite a big thing so um sorry that's my that's
my that was me i was like sammy's pressing buttons out there that's my son that's my son's milk
machine um my son's milk machine um it's uh anyway i think eagle fm is quite a big radio
station in essex i think yeah you sound right is it Essex or is it Nottingham
why did I think it was Nottingham
either way Eagle FM
it was a big
it was one of those G&R
GWR stations I can't remember
they were big
he's like a local radio guy
right
and he changed his name
and he had a radio voice since he was about 16
and he was passionate about radio
and he was very quite...
Was he...
Does this not be the right word?
He was quite kind of,
you guys are never going to be in radio
because of your voices kind of thing.
Okay, yeah.
You can't do it.
And he also used to spend his break time
reporting pirate radio stations
to the radio authority yeah right because he hated pirate radio yeah and he was so passionate
about it he's never had a national show i fucking have i'd love to meet him now i'd love to see him
yeah just what are you up to what am i up to what am i up to absolutely nothing i can't get on the
radio anymore but for a bit i was on it and i want you to know that i remember on come dine with me um there was a man who was like a local radio dj and he said um
and he and he said i know i know that they're in wherever they were stork or whatever um in in
stork there are restaurants that not even a radio dj can get into and it just always always makes
me laugh these men always men
in the industry
who genuinely
sort of you know
give it the big licks
who will
you'll be drinking
you'll go out
for a drink
and you won't
there was a couple
who used to work
for Capital
who would come over
and go
alright Pete
how's your Ray jars
I could not give a shit
because they were
because they were rubbish
but
but also
who fucking actually
does care
who fucking cares
so yeah
all that stuff
anyone who's really
into their job
like that
unless you're a carpenter
or something
that does something worthy
yeah more respect
that's more respected
than rightly so
more respected
there was
I think I said this before
but I think
come dying with me
they must use
like a casting agency
or something
because you get
a lot of people
on that show
who are clearly like,
wannabe famous.
And actually,
the very first pilot of that show,
the woman who used to sit on the same desk as me at Capital,
she was on it.
Right.
She did it.
Right, okay.
She was like the very first episode.
I can't even remember her name now.
She's very nice.
But I think she just knew someone
who was in the production company. Yeah they were piloting it but it was a
broadcast pilot i believe yeah and she was in it and i remember her describing it to us over the
um canteen at lunch and we're thinking that's quite interesting it just takes ages though they
film for like it's a full-on like you know seven in the morning to like two o'clock in the morning
kind of days it's like really it's no wonder everyone gets ratty by the end of it i'm pissed i'm pissed i mean that's the first thing i'd do and i'd be
charming it's the first thing you do everywhere right i'm stepping out of it and i'm stepping
no before we do that the bit with the bit would have to go root around your house oh that'll be
spicy for you goodness i would i would need a lot need little child locks everywhere. They look around.
For those who haven't seen it,
they root around your house
and they try and guess
what job you do.
They plant something.
They go through your cupboard
and go,
right, what's the...
Have you got some
furry handcuffs?
And we'll put them
on the bed like this.
Come back to you.
Pete, are you a stalker?
Pete, you've got a lot...
There's a lot of just
general night vision equipment.
Are you like a hunter of some kind?
Why do you need a crossbow?
It's just I'm a hunter of men.
Right, so we're going to take a short ad break.
We're going to be coming back with some battery brands.
You'll probably find a few of them in the cupboard, to be fair.
Are you a fetishist?
There's not a single fetish I haven't had a go at.

All right, we're back in the Luke and Pete show world.
Would you like to do some battery brands, Lukey Mook?
Because we've not done one for the past week.
Well, now old Rory's back from his holidays.
Oh, bloody lazy Rory when he took half a day off.
It was only problematic because we chose to record on the day that he wasn't here.
Disgusting.
That's what I say.
Rory, Rory. Rory, we need to record. Can you set he wasn't here. Disgusting. That's what I say. Rory, Rory.
Rory.
Rory, we need to record.
Can you set up a recording for us?
I want to do mine in my car.
It's not going to be fucking Biff.
He's on holiday.
Rory, Rory, I can't do it because I've had a Biff, da.
I can't do it myself.
And he wasn't there to answer the messages.
Poor old Rory.
Anyway, yeah, let's do some batteries.
You call them out.
I'll tell you if they're new or not.
All right.
Max has got in touch three miles away from the second busiest cargo airport in the UK.
If you're struggling as to where that is, it's East Midlands Airport.
Good.
Hello, Luke and Pete.
Where's that?
Cov?
Is that Cov?
Cov.
Cov?
I want to say Cov.
East Midlands, isn't it Nottingham?
Well, no, that's Robin Hood Airport, isn't it?
Is that a different thing? Oh, it's Derby, apparently. It's Derby. Derby. They're West Midlands. Coventry isn't East Midlands, isn't it Nottingham? Well, no, that's Robin Hood Airport, isn't it? Is that a different thing?
Oh, it's Derby, apparently.
It's Derby.
Derby.
They're West Midlands.
Coventry isn't East Midlands, is it?
No, Coventry's East Midlands, isn't it?
Oh, you're right, it was.
We're going to get battered for that.
Coventry is East Midlands.
Leicester's East Midlands.
Nottingham's East Midlands.
Looking at your Derby, I think Derby's West Midlands, I'm sure.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm looking at your Derby. I think Derby's West Midlands, I'm sure. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
I'm looking at a map right now.
It's marginally more Eastern country.
I will not have this marginally business.
Because Derbyshire goes all the way up.
Marcus Speller on the Ramble this morning
was giving the big licks that there's no train
that goes from Brighton to Luton.
And I was the only one in the room that bloody got it right.
I am sickened.
The level of the knowledge of the home county's rail network
is disgusting.
Hello, look it, hello, Pete.
Took this a while back,
and I've got little faith that it's a new player,
but it shares the name with a favourite song of mine.
Granted, it's a different spelling.
The song in question is Olsen by Boards of Canada uh the greatest thing to come
out of Scotland it feels like the name would be a popular one but it feels right to submit it given
my ties to Boards of Canada I don't think Max you've got ties to Boards of Canada I don't think
liking one of their songs means you've got quote-unquote ties to the band yeah if like what's
the what's the band that you've got closest
ties to i i don't know i don't know anybody in bands i i don't have any ties with anyone i've
done a pretty good you weren't going to be briefly yeah i've got a pretty good track record getting
some good people to do the ramble theme yes okay i've had the future heads do it because i know
ross yeah i think so ross from the future hass did... That's the recent one. That's the most
recent one, the Future Eds. Yeah, but it was remixed by
Ed, who is...
He is Jesse Ware's guitarist.
Okay, yeah, nice. He actually messaged
me this morning, Ed. He's a good friend of mine. I've known him for years.
I'd known him when he was in an indie band back in the day.
He's also in a kind of really cool, like,
electronic David Byrne-style band called
Stats. Are you getting in touch with him because
you want him to join your dad band?
He's way too cool for that.
But the thing is about him
is that he's like decent level.
He's like a professional touring musician.
So he's, like I say,
he's Jesse Ware's guitarist.
He was LaRue's guitarist.
And he makes all his money
doing that kind of stuff,
session work and composing.
So he walks into that.
I mean, you say that,
LaRue is constantly complaining
about how little money she gets.
Well, maybe Ed's got a case to answer.
Maybe Ed's bleeding LaRue dry.
Her little quiff has gone...
With the amount of money.
Whenever she sees an invoice from Ed,
her little quiff goes...
Don't be unkind to Ed.
She asks for money for her mum from not
Juliet Bravo
who was her mum
June Ackland
June Ackland
she was June Ackland
wasn't she
not Juliet Bravo
yeah still is
I don't think
Ed is a liar
or a fraudster
I don't think
she's a
no I just think
his prices are too high
reduce your prices
Ed for crying out loud
LaRue's absolutely bereft
me taking Ed
to Band of Dads
would be like
you know saying I've got a five-a-side team to Band of Dads would be like you know
saying I've got a
five-a-side team
do you want to come
and join us
you know
Neymar
yeah
basically
that's it
Neymar's a wreck
at the moment
yeah so those
those two
who else do
I mean that's probably
it really
yeah
Clint Hill
Clint Hill
is he a band
Clint Hill takes pills
he doesn't
that's something that that was a feature we wanted to do that he would band? Clint Hill takes pills? He doesn't. That's something that was a feature we wanted to do that he would never do.
Clint Hill is quite a successful Premier League football player
who I became friendly with for a bit
and got endlessly ripped for it by you lot.
Did you give a talk about Clint Hill?
Clint wouldn't like that, you said.
You hammered me for not asking Clint if he would do a sketch
involving him taking a load of pills.
What are you, a Premier League footballer?
And I said he's not going to go for it. I was load of pills. What are you, a Premier League footballer?
And I said he's not going to go for it.
I was like an idiot.
And then you got pissed off about it.
It could have been Parasitimal.
It could have been a really worthy Ted Lasso-style suicide prevention skit, actually.
So have some respect, all right?
Because a man on TikTok who cries a lot,
awareness is half the battle.
Yeah.
Anyway, Max has come up with a battery called Klaas Olsen.
Which I think is some kind of department store, isn't it?
It's a Danish department store.
I would, yeah, I would suggest that A, you've Googled that,
and B, I should Google it as well.
It's a hardware store company from Sweden specialising in hardware.
Again, I forget what our policies are these to be honest at this point
it's not
it's not a new player
anyway Max
you're the third person
to submit these
but if it's any
consolation
what a class all
you are
you are the first
British person
to submit it
so if you want to
take that as a victory
you can
but it's not a new player
I thought he had
what is that next to it
on his little
kind of
I thought it was
a ladybird but it's just a...
It's just a little hole in the bench.
A wooden gouge.
He's got a gouge in his bench.
He looks like he's been sharpening knives on that thing.
Get his email done.
Right, isn't it? Email done.
George is going to...
Hey, guys.
Love the show since day one.
Keep up great work.
Keep up the great work.
I've made him sound like an idiot there.
Sorry, George.
Love the show.
I have a submission for a new battery brand,
although it's from Woolies in Australia,
so surely it's been sent in before.
I haven't had it read out yet,
so I'm quietly hopeful.
Chevron.
Woolies still alive and well down under.
Great to hear.
I think Woolies is coming back, actually, Woolworths,
in England.
I think Woolworths is coming back.
Is it really?
Yeah, I think so.
Where did you hear that?
These brands never disappear.
I've still got my fingers crossed for Maplins.
Imagine what Maplins would be in 2024.
It would be reusable vapes
and probably like a couple of...
It's just some batteries, isn't it?
They would just sell batteries.
If Maplins doesn't come back,
can I interest you in Euronics?
Oh, yeah. What does Euronics you in Euronics? Oh, yeah.
What does Euronics do?
Euronics is kind of like...
It's more of a hardware store, isn't it, I suppose, Euronics?
They would sell, like, three bar heaters.
I think it's an electrical store.
Right.
Okay.
Have a look into it, because I saw it, and I thought,
Pete never talks about Euronics, and I think it looks like he might like it.
Where's my closest Euronics?
Look it up.
In the meantime, I'll let you know that Chev chevron alkaline which one's the best sent in from uh by george is not a new player either
we've had um three of those in total so george is the third person to send those in our friends
josh and gethin sent those in in uh may of 22 and september of 23 uh respectively i have an
impression there might be an Australian brand
because when Gethen sent them in
he was in Perth at the time
and I presume
Josh was in Australia
as well but George certainly looks like he
was so
it's not a new
player but it's an interesting battery nonetheless
so thank you for sending it in George.
I'm looking at the Euronics store there there's a lot of like sort of licensing of the
euronics name euronics thamesview television people who sort of sell tellies and there's one
around the corner from me uh first review what a marvelous service from this company can highly
recommend them my disabled daughter tv why did people give so much information on reviews i'd
never understand that down there though donny have a look yourself down there yeah though, Donny. Have a look. Get yourself down there, yeah.
Why not have a look and see if you like it?
Because it probably won't fill the hole that's been left in your heart from Maplins,
but it might go halfway.
That's the main thing.
Right.
What's the next one?
K Rector.
It sounds like something you might pop up there
or pop in there.
Hi, guys.
Relatively new listeners are not 100% sure about the rules for new batteries.
Rich, welcome in.
Just thank you for your message.
I've got two AAAK Rector batteries in front of me that I hope may be admissible.
Regards, Rich.
Lovely picture.
Lovely green sort of background to it.
Looks like a pull-out drawer in a table.
It does.
It looks like...
Green felt was just such a bigger part of our lives
in the 70s, 80s, 90s, didn't it?
And then it just disappeared.
Like green beers was just a big thing back in the day.
Not if you're a man of the snooker like me.
Not if you're a man of the cloth, no.
Maybe not.
Kay Rector, they have been sent in before,
but only once by Nick Bardsley
in August of 22.
Nearly, mate.
Nick in Stockport sent them in,
but Richard,
if it's your first go at it
and you're a new listener,
we won't be too harsh on you.
You're not too far off
having a new player,
but it's not quite there yet.
Welcome to Kay Party, Rector.
That's what we say to that.
All right, we've got to get over here.
The batteries have had us absolutely overrunning the show,
and we're gutted that that's happened.
So sorry for being so undisciplined and ill-disciplined.
That bigger juice isn't going to drink itself.
I've got a bottle.
Have I got two bottles?
I think I've got half a bottle and another bottle in the fridge.
The thing about bigger juice is it's not very carbonated.
And that's the...
I love carbonated stuff, but this is very soft.
I bet the calories you put through the roof aren't there.
Oh, yeah, it's incredible.
It's absolutely incredible.
Hey, what are you going to do?
All right, we're going to leave, but we'll be back soon.
We'll be back on Monday, the 5th of February.
See you on Monday, guys.
Ta-ta.
See you later.
