It's the Luke and Pete Show
I'm Pete Donaldson
and it's a Thursday
How you doing Luke Moore?
The other part of the compliment of this show
You alright?
I'm alright thanks
and I'm very pleased to see you Peter
I haven't seen you for a wee while
and I'm pleased to have your company again
I can barely see you because you're kind of like IRA informant on the news in the 80s.
Oh, do you think so?
Do I look a little bit dark?
Yeah.
The lighting in your room is very sort of like, you've almost got like rim lights in the same way.
You look like it's the total Luke eclipse.
The light is just kind of shining behind you.
And my face is like a gigantic moon.
You do look like an informant at this uh present moment in time
uh so look at what's been going on how's it all going are you having a stressful morning as me
um you've had plumbing issues i believe and i don't know your water works i mean your house
no yeah if only although have you had are you still getting up quite a lot in the middle of
the night to go to the toilet or is that kind of abated now?
No, I'm fine.
I'm usually,
I've always been very proud of how little I urinate during the night
and if you can't be proud of that,
you can't be proud of anything in my opinion.
I am proud of that too.
I don't ever get up and go for a wee
in the middle of the night actually.
I've seen Jim Campbell do a wee three times
in a 45 minute recording of the Rumble.
I'm just putting it out there.
Jim has always been a a big weir
he has like he's always been a big way a lot like ever since i've known him when i first met given
the fact that when i first met jim he was what 24 maybe 23 even always been weaned even then
always been weaned when he should have a supple rubbery bladder um clip that
clip that sentence
a supple rubbery bladder
what a horrible
little sentence
I would say this
Peter if I may
that the
the line between
you looking amazing
and you looking like
Hitler
is incredibly thin
because today
like last week
I thought you looked amazing
I'm having one of my
Hitler days aren't I
yeah today
you look like
the guy
not even just Hitler
but the guy who played Hitler
in that Downfall movie
where he got all the awards
yeah
I'm considering
I'm considering losing the moustache
because it's doing
nothing for me
and everything for
no I think you just need to
if you're gonna
if you're gonna commit to the moustache
which I think works
you're gonna have to be
clean shaven elsewhere
and you're not gonna
you're gonna have to do your hair
I look like I've been found in a pipe.
Yeah.
You do a bit.
When they found Saddam in a pipe,
that's what I look like.
What was wrong with your plumbing this morning?
What was the big drama?
Oh, the greatest plumber in the world, Hitler,
got involved over the weekend to try to fix something.
Try to replace some taps.
Try to replace some taps try to replace some taps uh
the tap uh connection was the wrong size i think it was aldi timey um you know three quarter inches
or some bollocks uh but what i actually it was like a 15 millimeter uh a connection uh i try to
move uh remove a olive from the um compression fitting on pipe. Couldn't quite do that because I didn't have any of the tools.
Why was there olive in there?
I like my drinking water, I like it salty.
So I pop an olive down the pipe.
Fucking psychopath.
Why was there an olive down there?
Tell us why there was an olive down there.
It's a plumbing implement.
It's like a little washer that basically helps the
uh compression fitting grip the pipe so that's how little i know i thought you meant you dropped
like an actual olive down the sink or something you'll have loads of you'll have loads of olives
in your pipe work i reckon right but i couldn't get it off because i didn't have any of the
specialist tools uh required and um i i cannot for love nor, get hold of a fucking plumber to fix the bloody thing.
Until this morning, where Johnny, my neighbour over the road, he just turned up with a fucking plumber.
Because I texted a few nights ago saying, does anybody know a plumber who will actually answer a phone or a text message or a WhatsApp or an email?
And they do say that the best plumbers you've got to wait for, the worst ones will arrive there and then.
I suppose because they haven't got any other work.
Maybe, yeah, maybe.
Do you think you're struggling to get a plumber because it's you
and your reputation precedes you,
and they don't know what they're going to encounter when they turn up?
I think they probably put a dog's dinner surplus
on top of the amount of money I've got to pay.
Like, you've made a dog's dinner of this, Donaldson.
Yeah.
A Donnie Dog's dinner. A Donnie Dog's
dinner. A Donnie Dog's dinner.
I think it's a bit like when the ambulance
dispatch get a call and they
know there's a massive road traffic accident. It's going to be
a bad one. It's a bit like that with you.
Pete Dawson's called a plumber. He's done what?
Heaven help us.
It's Eric LaSalle getting
briefed for surgery in the
TV show ER,
where it's a five chili alert that everyone's going to be fucking working for the next 48 hours without any sleep,
because Donaldson's got his spanners out.
So you had to only delay today's recording by 15 minutes due to the plumber.
So presumably it was a quick job.
It was a very quick job.
What was he doing?
I'm not doing that.
See you later.
Well, he just had the spanners.
I didn't have the spanners.
I was making do with a pipe wrench and a spanner
and it didn't really, it's not conducive to, you know,
and the problem was the taps aren't isolated.
So like I had to turn off all of the water
when I was dicking about with it.
So if I could have just turned off those taps,
it would have been fine.
But to fix anything,
you had to turn all of the water off in the house, you know people don't appreciate me doing that mainly well one of the
weird things about this house which is amazing that there's a downstairs and upstairs and it's
they're separate properties but it's ultimately just a house is that um no one seems to know how
to turn the water off in this house and so there's nowhere to do it so the only way you can do it is
by doing it out on the street which means you have to turn downstairs water off as well.
Oh, I guess that is because of the history of it being one big house.
There's a place where you would traditionally have turned the water off.
This house was built in 1900, so it's quite old.
But that's been seized up and abandoned.
It's not used anymore, not connected to anything.
And there doesn't seem to be any other replacement.
Could you not follow the pipes out to the street?
Oh, we've done that, boy.
When we had the bathroom done,
the first entire day
was two Bulgarian
men trying to work out with
plans and following pipes where the thing
was. And they had to just basically come to the
conclusion there was literally nowhere to do it.
There's literally nowhere to do it. What an interesting
quirk of a home. Maybe just check your olives maybe this is
olive related they said i've never even heard that word in that context until this morning
so there's no chance of that so it looks like my dad's wedding ring
they could they could just call it stewie donaldson's wedding ring not it's not as pithy
is it it's not no no what the bigger boy actually do? Always good for the listening community
to know that one of us
has had a bigger boy in their house.
Yeah, it literally just took about five seconds.
It literally just went,
yeah, just give us a tenner.
And he just went,
and then...
A tenner?
I'll give him 30
because he was saving my fucking bacon.
You gave him fucking hell, Pete.
Luke, I'd had three days
of trying to get a fucking...
I would have given him a fucking...
That's a 200% tip.
I would have put my mouth
around his plumbing
if he'd paid it.
You'd pay him many, many ways.
I would have paid him
in a million ways.
And that is very much
how most pornography starts.
That's too much.
Yeah, it is.
That's too much.
It's what he deserves.
It's patronising to him.
I think that is...
Stop patronising.
I think you've gone
full circle there
and not valued
his profession with that.
Right.
You're saying,
I've got so much money,
I'll give you three times
what you asked for
and I'm not even
going to fucking remember it.
That's disgraceful by you.
No, but because he helped
me out of a real hole.
Give him 15.
That's a 50% tip.
That's a really nice gesture.
30 is gone.
Like Lex Luthor stuff.
30 is like your Logan Roy
in Succession.
I shouldn't have popped it into his waistband. Into his bum. And then just walked out the house and got straight like Lex Luthor stuff. So that is like your Logan Roy in succession, just flaunting it.
I shouldn't have popped it
into his waistband,
into his bum.
And then just walked out the house
and got straight in your helicopter.
Pathetic by you dogs.
And that's a flex.
You've inadvertently flexed
all over a plumber there.
I was on fucking,
I was on a timer.
Like Sarah was clearly getting annoyed.
I'm off to fucking WrestleMania next week.
There was very good chance
that she wouldn't have any water for two
weeks. It's awful. No, but there's a difference between
him going in his mind now
thinking, oh, what a good guy.
What a generous fellow. He really appreciated
the work that I do and what an
arrogant piece of shit.
And I think you've crossed that threshold.
I got one of those little Supreme
dollar bill guns and just fired it.
Yeah. Yeah. So weight off your mind having it sorted though, right? I got one of those little Supreme dollar bill guns and just fired it.
So it's a weight off your mind having it sorted.
It is a massive weight off my mind.
I mean, I've still got to make some modifications.
I mean, I didn't install the tap.
So even if I'd connected it,
there was water started coming out of the base of the tap anyway,
which is something that I'll have to look at later on in the day.
But the main job is over. We are connected. Just a couple look at later on in the day. But the main job is over.
We are connected.
Just a couple of gremlins in the system.
But it sounds like you had a lot of trouble with plumbing this morning.
Well, not quite plumbing, just something a little bit different.
This is going to be, for those of you who have a squeamish disposition,
I would suggest that you pause or fast forward now. But one of the realities of living with two cats
is that you occasionally
get little presents first thing in the morning and um to be absolutely fair i mean i'm being
transparent about it i've mentioned this before the part of the reason we got the two cats in
the first place was because the whole block was riddled with basically riddled with rodents yeah
and that's not the case anymore because they've done such a good job that the lads and now they're
in their dotage they're both nine this year,
so they're kind of semi-retired from all that stuff now.
But it's the only really efficient way
in this part of the city
to stop mice and rats coming around.
And it does fucking work.
But obviously the downside to that
is that occasionally you get a little present left.
And this morning, a little bit of a hangover.
I was in the pub last night with Rory and a couple of the team because i respect our producer
pete and i like to um i like to uh appreciate him and buy him a pint every so often i buy him
pints but i do it during the working day yeah you're not well you're not there he's just he's
just working and i'll pop over the forming not brown on his desk and his desk and go, he says, where did you even get that from?
Don't ask me any questions, I won't tell you.
No, he just gets an anonymous pint turned up at some
point.
You know how you can order from spoons
to people's tables?
Order it to his desk. To be fair to Rory,
he's not here to defend, well he is here, but he's not
on mic to defend himself. I mean, the man is a
boozer, so he would appreciate that.
He can put them away.
A bit of a fuss. to defend himself. I mean, the man is a boozer. So, I mean, he would appreciate that. He loves a Guinness. He can put them away. He can put them away.
The,
sorry, a bit of a fuss.
It's not really a hangover.
What I did last night is I went to the pub,
had a few pints with the team
and then,
obviously, I live in South London
and the pub and the office
was in North London.
So, I had to get home somehow.
But I just decided to cycle
all the way back.
Right.
I don't know why.
Probably just thought,
oh, can't be us to get on the way back. Right. I don't know why. Probably just thought, oh,
can't be us to get on the train
or the tube.
Yeah.
So I felt a bit dehydrated this morning
is what I was going to say
which is probably contributing to my hangover
because most of the hangover is dehydration,
right?
And so I stumbled into the kitchen,
the dining room,
kitchen diner thing.
I opened the door to let the cats out
or whatever
and there's just a fucking half a mouse
on the rug
and blood everywhere. I was like, for fuck's sake. And there's just a fucking half a mouse on the rug and blood everywhere.
I was like, for fuck's sake.
And the thing is, the weirdest psychology about it,
for those people who don't own a cat,
you probably won't fully appreciate it.
The psychology of it is really odd.
It almost becomes like a weird game that you play with them.
They become like hyper aware, hyper active.
They're really conscious of your reaction to what they've done.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they start making weird noises.
They don't make any other time.
What?
I've got this for you.
Yeah, basically.
Not that that is actual words, but basically that noise.
And if you don't make a fuss of them,
or really kind of show them appreciation or whatever,
they go mental.
And they also can go mental if you move the mouse.
They start sniffing around for it, scratching the floor.
Don't touch the mouse!
Don't touch your gift!
It's just a sensory overload.
It just sounds like they're bad at giving presents, I think.
Well, this morning, this was about 7.30 this morning.
It's now, what time we're recording, it's about 10.30.
It's three hours later.
One of them's only just settling down now.
Oh.
So their characters... This is weird. Their characters. So I had to clear that up, disinfect it, get rid of it. 30s three hours later one of them's only just settling down now oh so they're they're characters
they're characters so i have to clear that up disinfecting all get out get rid of it all the
rest of it and poor little mouse but i mean you know what you're gonna do i know it's terrible
my brother-in-law's got a real bee in his bonnet about cats because he's a big environmental guy
big nature guy and i think they're particularly bad for certain types of wildlife and he's always
bossing about it i'm sure it's the case
I'm very very sorry about that
but we don't want to live in a house full of mice
so I don't know what the solution is
because the traps don't fucking work
they're also quite inhumane
if you get humane traps
and you catch the mice
you've then got to take them
I think over two miles away
or they can in theory find their way back
I heard five
say again
I heard five
that's how
i got a car mouse that time when he ran back in the car and i was like oh great i've got a car
mouse now and where is the car mouse still in the car no i'm toasty warm on the engine i managed to
i managed to shoo him off i got a fucking i had a flat tire last week everything's going off
luke and i and i use some of that stuff that you um you know, they don't give you spare tyres anymore in a car to help with fuel efficiency.
And, you know, it's just a needless bit of heavy material you don't need.
They give you like a can of like just expanding form that you pump into your tyre and make it go.
That sounds delicious.
It's so interesting. I don't know how it it works um it made my finger go very cold when it was on me i think it might be rather
dangerous but um but you yeah you bash it into your tire squirt it out you squirt it into your
mouth like squirty cream i there was i i wanted it to be like you know that expanding form that
you put like around duct work and stuff like i thought it might be like, you know that expanding form that you put around duct work and stuff?
I thought it might be something to do with that,
but no, it was very much just this kind of weird,
kind of cold sort of, you know, like hair mousse or something.
Did it work?
Yeah, it really fucking does work.
It's amazing.
And it blocks the puncture,
and you're good to go for a little while.
So what do you do?
You squirt it on the outside of the tyre?
No, no. You pump it into the tyre.
So you connect it like you would if you're
inflating a tyre. That's fucking mad.
And you just click, you break the seal on the top
and it just goes...
You lap on the back of your car, I'm sure, instead of
a spare tyre. That's incredible.
I had no idea about that. Can I just say
when you came round my house the other day
in your car, your car was when we went out to your car to load some stuff into it
under cloak of darkness and your car on the inside was a bit mental what do you mean it's quite
chaotic i mean what of what part of that surprises you would you it's just football kit and DIY stuff, really.
Yeah, but it wasn't just that, was it?
It was.
It was just that.
There was loads of clothes in there.
Yeah.
It's like you've been living in the car.
Have you been living in the car?
It was.
That's what it looked like. It wasn't.
It wasn't clothes.
You make me sound like a blumming murderous trucker.
I'm not saying you are a murderous trucker.
I'm just saying, if I may be so bold,
you've got an element of murderous trucker energy about you.
No, it was...
What was that?
You know, like a Viz top tips or letters to the editor or whatever.
Letterbox.
The letterbox, yeah.
It was like, people sort of...
Truckers have a really bad reputation,
like being, you know, just constantly murdering women.
But I met a trucker once who just gave me a bag full of ladies' clothes for free.
Not all bad.
So that's the vibe that you're trying to say is the back of my car,
just full of people's clothing, like I've murdered people.
There is a few pairs of trousers in there
because when i play football
i change out my trousers bang them in the back of the car and then they just they just stay there
and then i wonder where the trousers have gone they're in the back of my car but i think there
should be a limit really so on how many acceptable limit on how many pairs of trousers are in a man's
car right what if you are a fashionista what if you are what if you're superman what if you're
superman what if you're the trouser collector of Sheffield?
What then, Luke?
What then?
I just felt like, because of the type of person I am,
when you open the boot...
I'm not judging you.
I know it sounds like I am, and I know people think I'm...
It's a utility vehicle.
I have no interest in making my car look good.
It's not a utility vehicle.
It's a Fiat 500.
It's tiny.
There's no utility at all about it.
It's disgusting in there, and I don't care.
It's like I'm getting from one place to the other. I don't care it's like I'm getting
from one place to the other
I don't care what people
think about me
I'm driving a Fiat 500
maybe when I get my Tesla
or whatever
maybe I'll have a bit
more pride in it
no I'm not going to get a Tesla
what because of Elon?
no just because
I can't charge it
I don't have
I've got
off street parking
or I don't
what's off street parking?
no
off street parking's
the good one isn't it?
I don't have off street parking off street parking would be like a driveway or a garage yeah so a man
so apparently the uh the clues in the name something that i'm kind of like experiencing
quite a lot recently is and i've spoken about before the guy who owned the house before uh
bit of a botched merchant but he basically says that to fucking treble pay a plumber this morning
in the year in the year it's a plumber jackpot.
In the year that he was selling the house, they did a loft conversion.
They did a lot of work in the garden.
You know, they put a lot of stuff in quickly, not particularly carefully.
And so there's a few bits and bobs where you sort of go, right, I mean, that looks like it was rushed slightly.
And I don't think it's important who used to own my house. That looks like it was rushed slightly. What's his name?
I don't think it's important who used to own my house.
He's in Norwich now.
I just want you to use the first name.
It might be funnier.
But you don't have to.
Carry on.
I honestly can't remember, to be honest.
You know what I'm like.
I can't bloody remember his name.
Nice bloke, though.
Anyway, he basically bribed, I believe, a council official,
and that's probably why
I shouldn't be saying his name,
bribed someone
who knew somebody
who knew somebody
about getting,
basically,
his front,
because we've basically
just got a little,
I think you call them
a palisade,
or how I would call it,
a porch or whatever.
Courtyard,
you call it,
don't you?
Yeah,
courtyard,
sorry,
yeah.
A palisade, is it palisade or palisaden? I've never known sorry yeah a palisade is a palisade
or palisade and i've never known either side i think palisade right palisade well depends what
you're talking about it's just a little front bit of yard in it like there's no defense though
it's the fence that surrounds it i think yeah it surrounds the fence yeah it surrounds the
little front yard basically got a little front yard and basically. You've got a little front yard. And if you were being charitable, you could probably fit a Fiat 500 or a Mini on that kind of footprint of the yard.
But nothing more than that.
Right.
Because we've got bare windows.
And the few houses down the road do have this feature where you can park up a Mini or you can park up a car or whatever. And so he bribed this guy, like a good grand, to come round and basically, you know,
give that money to someone else at the council
to come round and ratify his yard as like a,
to be able to have a, you know, a car parking space.
How do you know he did this?
Because he told the neighbour and the neighbour told me.
Right.
And so like he, and apparently the guy who was,
you know, the guy got bribed,
the guy who bribed, the guy who
bribed, who got the bribe, gave it to the other man from the council, and the guy drove
up, looked out of his window, and went, nah, and didn't even get out of the car, then fucked
off again.
What, really?
I can't give you this, I can't give you that as a, it's too small, it's way too small.
So, yeah, they basically, he basically can't do that.
This guy sounds great.
He sounds cool.
He's taken bribe as a front-centre.
He's rocking up and giving the thumbs up or the thumbs down from his car window.
He sounds like a kind of...
I reckon he works for the local council but would wear a cowboy hat.
He's definitely a hiney man.
Yeah, definitely a hiney man.
So, yeah, that's why I can't have an electric vehicle
because I don't even know how to charge up outside of the home.
Some people on my street, they run cables out from their houses.
Do they?
Across the pavement and then charge their car like that
with a bit of carpet over the cable so people don't trip over it.
I thought that.
You could sort of run a cable and use one of those little yellow and black
kind of plastic doohickeys
to kind of get the cable across
but I mean
you can't be doing that
I mean
you legally can't be doing that
you can't just put stuff
in the streets
that people are going to trip over
no one's going to care though
are they Mr Fucking Rules
no one's going to give a shit
this is the thing about London
no one actually cares
when I cycle around London,
and if it's really busy,
and the road's really busy,
or there's no cycle,
and it feels a bit dangerous,
particularly through Brixton,
I'll hop up onto the pavement
and ride on the pavement for a bit.
And I've literally ridden around police officers before.
And I never fucking say anything.
The police officers in London,
I've got nothing,
they've got so much to do,
they just don't want to fucking bother
with the little stuff.
Well, yeah, you just kind of...
So they're not going to fucking check you for that.
They ain't going to check you
for running a cable out to your car.
But we're out in the sticks though.
People have complaints about everything.
Where you are, you'd be fucked.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I remember back in the day
where I grew up in a little small town,
the police behave... And obviously i understand this is you know i understand the metropolitan police
have just had that casey report which is obviously horrific so i'm not defending london police but
i'm just saying their priorities are very different when we were um when we were growing up in a small
town on the south coast the police would be up our asses for everything all the time like just
because there's nothing to do and i remember it got to the point actually once where one of my
friends put in a complaint an official complaint which was upheld of a police officer in the local
town who had such a fucking hard-on for my mate because he had this like he's quite a nice car
and he'd done quite well on his job as a young man so this police officer had a fucking issue with it and it got to the point
where the harassment was so severe that the police officer pulled him out of his house on christmas
day right in the middle of christmas lunch to measure his tire uh tracks to measure his tread
and his tires and then hit put him a hit him a fine because of like a couple of millimeter down or something on christmas day i mean surely there's a paper
trail there crime is a crime if you're constantly sort of just seeing off one particular pup yeah
he got fucked for it he and and he at no point had my friend ever been convicted of any crime
so he got he got reassigned i think it's just yeah we talk about that late 90s so i can't
remember the
actual detail but why was he so annoyed because the guy was they've got loads of more other stuff
to deal with which by all accounts they do terribly at the moment in quite a racist homophobic and
sexist way but nevertheless they've got a lot to do yeah the um i think with um uh i think with
with where i live i would probably just I would run a cable across
but then I would compact
dog poo around it
and that's the thing
that people seem to be
mainly bothered about
yeah they wouldn't be
fuming about that
and they've got every right to
but that's mainly
the Facebook
you know
Leon C
South End kind of pages
they're just obsessed with
people not picking up
after their dogs
but have you started
picking up your dog's poo yet or not?
I just pour water on it to make it a lovely little smoothie.
Right, we're having a break.
We're having a break.
You also like dog poo smoothies.
We're having a break.
We'll be back in a minute and we'll do some batteries
because it's Thursday, so see you in a sec.
On each step with Peloton.
From their pop runs to walk and talks, you define what it means to be a runner.
Whatever your level, embrace it.

All right, it's time for the Look at Pete Show Part 2 on a Thursday,
and that means batteries.
Bloody loads of bloody batteries.
There was a lack of worthy battery submissions
in the inbox this week,
so we asked our Luke and Pete Twitter community
to send us their batteries
and see if they can discover a new player.
The results were mixed,
but there was an interesting-looking submission
from a man called Joseph.
Joseph, hello, my friend.
He's come in with ProPak. No message,
no pissing about, just a
couple of beautiful black and gold
ProPaks.
Do you like Joseph's style? Just not even
bothering putting a message?
I think Twitter's much
maligned, but if we can kind of open that
particular
olive pipe to
pop some batteries down
that would be
absolutely cracking
and you know
batteries will fit
down a 15mm pipe
I reckon
well we should
definitely double
check that
I have to get the
plumber back down
because I was jamming
batteries into my pipe
do that after the show
yeah there's a
blockage in your
pipe Mr Donaldson
you are going to
struggle to get
water through there
there's 342 AA
batteries in there
yeah that's where i keep
my batteries next that's where i keep my batteries where do you keep yours it's like a vending
machine because the water pressure they just fire out far around yeah far about then you just make
then you just make the plumber a cup of tea and as you pour the kettle out just these batteries
go into the mug around the seat back um joseph whoever you are you're the you're the scarlet
pimpernel of this show you're just a you know you're a you're a Scarlet Pimpernel of the show. You're a hiney man.
You're a guy who just blows in with the breeze.
You've got no explanations for anyone.
You live under a leaf.
You live in a grand piano.
You can't be pinned down, baby.
You're on to your next thing.
They are new players.
No one has ever sent in Pro Pack batteries before,
according to our records.
So congratulations to you.
That's quite the flex.
Congratulations on our brand new player.
All right, all right, all right.
Well done, Jonathan. Yeah, he's definitely got a bit of Matthew McConaughey about him,
hasn't he?
Hear my batteries.
Jack, Rocket Alkaline.
Getting some soul career.
Just before I head off on a trip to the DMZ,
I thought I'd do what really mattered
and check the hotel TV remote.
Behold, Rocket Alkaline batteries.
Fingers crossed for a new player.
Cheers, Jack.
I was on a lot of, not antihistamines,
what's the ones that, antibiotics,
when I was in Korea.
And I had terrible,
I can't even remember, to be honest honest but I had terrible acid reflux
when I went to see
the DMZ and
it's
that always makes
me think, always reminds me of
bad acid
reflux reminds me of the demilitarized
zone between North and South korea and also
reading about the dmz just always makes me go oh is the dmz would you say the acid reflux
area of the world it is because i guess i mean acid reflux is just um you know uh acid your your
body reacting to quite greasy stuff so you know oil and acid not really mixing properly, I suppose.
So, yeah, DMZ, kind of North Korea, South Korea.
Who's the oil? Who's the acid? Who's to tell?
Do you think that old Kim Jong-un is getting a bit vexed
because he's not getting the attention anymore
because of what's happening in Ukraine?
Well, I've noticed he started wearing a cool Park Pai hat,
which we've not seen him in before and he's got his
daughter out who who reportedly is upsetting a lot of um uh north koreans uh because she's quite um
she's quite full-faced let's say and uh the north koreans uh starving as they have been for a long
time because of the uh dictatorship there and um and i mean i would say have you seen any of the other
leaders of North Korea
they've all had fat faces
they've all been
big old chunky
chunky boys
haven't they really
is it not a pork pie
it's more of a fedora isn't it
is it
alright fair dues
I think a pork pie
has got a very
kind of a lot thinner
kind of consistent brim
right
whereas it looks to me like
Kim Jong Un
has been watching
you know
kind of like a 1930s set
like detective movie
he's been watching
the adjustment bureau
it's his favourite film
some kind of gumshoe
offering
from the Hollywood studio
but anyway
Rocket Batteries
are so old
as a player
they were first sent in
by our friend
Chris Maples
on the 23rd
of October
2017
oh well
never mind
enjoy the DMZ though Jack enjoy the DMZ, though, Jack.
Enjoy the DMZ.
Finally for now, Keith Campbell, Golden Power.
I'm absolutely certain this brand has been submitted,
but I had to send it in because its origin seems right up Donny Street.
Behold, a Golden Power,
which is in the remote for a Fart Machine 2,
a.k.a. remote-controlled whoopee cushion,
gifted to us by my in-laws.
I have no idea what improvements are going to be made
to necessitate a second version of the fart machine,
but here we are.
All the best, Keith Campbell.
Maybe it followed through.
Yeah, I liked that you're called Keith.
I liked that it came from a fart machine.
I think, but on the other side of that,
you are patronising not just us,
but our listenership as well.
If you think for one second,
golden power is going to
be anywhere near a new player but it just goes to show you there are different reasons for sending
them in but i like the idea there's a fart machine too i reckon kim jong-un probably is the type of
guy who would laugh heartily at a fart machine yeah i mean i would say yeah golden power yeah
i completely agree and it'd be exactly that sort of tech that would be kind of in his wheelhouse you know you know like how like the north korean um like
operating systems are all right rips of like linux or apple mac kind of copies um yeah i think the
fart machine he probably goes where is this amazing technology coming from absolutely
yeah he really does i reckon he
probably enjoys a fart machine i reckon but you think that like i mean looking at the picture
of the fart machine it's quite it looks like an old kind of 80s maybe remote control i think
i think in the same way that like modern uh engineering and technology is has brought on the
commoner garden um lady or boy uh vibrator um i garden lady or boy vibrator.
Lady or boy vibrator?
What are you talking about?
Just say vibrator.
Just say vibrator.
All right, fine.
But there are so many different models now,
and they're all controlled by apps and all this stuff.
And I just look at that fart machine,
I sort of go, I think we could do with a little bit of innovation in the space.
That's all.
Yeah, no, I think that's fair.
I think it's sad that we i just i i i think it's
sad that we can't have a world where it's like it just looks like an old uh like an old beeper
or something it's horrible stuff you see that um kim jong-un has also been spotted wearing what i
can only be just i can only really describe it's almost like a an oversized panama hat as well
right okay so i think he's been watching some cowboy movies or something.
He's experimenting with hats.
I mean, yeah,
I think the dictators
of the world,
they need a globe,
I think, you know.
So am I right in saying
that the reason that people
don't intervene
in what's going on
in North Korea,
which is absolutely horrific,
is because China
insists on having
like a bulwark country
between them and South Korea?
Yeah, I presume that's
part of it.
So they don't want
on their doorstep like a flourishing democracy. Yeah, I presume that's part of it.
And obviously China
are
kind of propping them up, aren't they, I suppose.
That's why they're propping them up, right?
Yeah, yeah. And so no one can really do anything.
It's terrible, really.
Because the Sanctums only really hurt
the people. They don't hurt fucking Kim Jong-un, do they?
No, no.
I think there's an increasingly small amount of people
who are actually benefiting out of that whole situation.
Fucking get rid of this little fat cunt.
And I speak as a big fat cunt myself.
So I'm allowed to say that.
You've not had a go with a hat, though, have you?
My head's too big for that.
So basically, it's pros and cons, really.
I always tend to look okay in sunglasses
because my head and face are so big hats are a problem right okay yeah fair fair you're probably
the opposite you've got a little tiny head haven't you yeah nothing looks good to me absolutely
nothing oh don't be silly but listen that mustache and stubble is tough for you at the moment but
it's not always the case sometimes you look great anyway let's get out of here we'll be back on
monday for more of this stuff.
So have a lovely weekend.
You're almost there.
You almost made it to the weekend.
If you listen to this show on your commute into work on a Thursday,
you've only got one more day after today to go.
So stick it out.
You'll make it for sure.
And if you're working shifts and you're working across the weekend,
I'm sorry to hear that,
but try and enjoy your days off somewhere else in the week
because that's how it works, right?
You get a nice quiet weekend
when no one else is around
and you can make the most of that.
Sit in the pub,
no one will be in there,
it'd be great.
Go to the park,
everyone will be at work,
fantastic.
We know how it works.
Have a lovely weekend
nevertheless.
Peter, say goodbye.
Goodbye, farewell.
See you next time.
And we hope Pete's plumbing issues
tend to just hopefully
at some point
resolve themselves without Pete having to intervene too much. it's goodbye from me as well and we'll
see you soon bye the luke and pete show is a stack production and part of the acast creator network
