Boys, girls, fun times, getting away from it all, booking an holiday, going on a cruise, touching your mum's face as she sleeps it's the Luke and Pete show it's what we're doing I only signed up for about 95% of those okay I told you before

I'm not going on a cruise my mum my mum I would say out of all of our mums I don't really recall exactly what your mum looks like

but my mum has got very touchable cheeks like I could... You could definitely... If you were into stroking people's cheeks, you'd get a lot of purchase out of my mum's because she's quite, like, like that. She's not fat, but she's gone very...

like that. And I think it'd be very soft. What are you doing? What are you doing? Is it because you're so angular? You see other people who've got perhaps more of a cherubic face or a rounded face and go, I want a bit of that. But I've got a big honker, but not as big as my mum's.

And kids love grabbing my honker. Your mum's catching strays all over the place. We're only a minute in. She's not. She can't listen to this. She's unable to want to do it, I think. They've never listened to a thing I've... Even when they've been on the show,

even when they've been on... I hate my mum for sports-on voices all the time because she's just really good at sounding a bit startled. Yeah, nice. So she's perfect for a fake call in an LBC. I don't think my parents are interested either. I think they come to a live show, theyc i don't think my parents are interested either i think um they come to a live show they like that i think they can make sense of that because it's like a theater

thing and you're up on stage it's fine yeah everything else they're probably still thinking he will get a real job soon let's get him let him get this out of his system yeah and he'll crack on 10 years it's been 15 years it has been too long hasn't it it's been too long yeah so i i? It's been too long. Yeah, it's been too long. So I don't really know if there was a question built into the opening monologue about your mum's touchable face, but if there was, I would say...

Not really. Every boy likes touching his mum's face, don't they? Do they? I don't know. It's the central theme of Pinocchio. Is it? What does Pinocchio do? I can't remember. I haven't seen it for like 30 years.

I mean, he lies and his dad's an old man. I don't think he has a mum, does he? He wants to be a real boy, doesn't he? His dad's created him. Geppetto's created him.

So he's basically casting aspersions on Geppetto and saying, well, Geppetto, where's Mr. Geppetto? Where's Mrs. Geppetto? Yeah. I want a mum to stroke her face

with my own hands. Something doesn't quite add up here. Something... What did you do? I'm made of wood. Did you fuck a lathe? What's going on? What's going on?

Seriously though, don't do that. Don't fuck a lathe. That would be very, very problematic if you got that wrong. And I don't think there's any way

of getting it right to be honest. I mean, it depends to be honest. I mean, you could lay... As a lathe goes round, you've got to...

Say you were making a banister and you'd sort of chiselled out this general shape, the womanly form of a banister, and if you were that way inclined, it was all smooth, you could pop your little chap on the top of the wood. If it was shiny enough, you wouldn't necessarily, but if it was long enough to get caught around it, you'd be in all kinds of trouble. I don't think you should.

I'm pretty sure what i would say is if you are working with a lathe just pop it back in your pants if if there is anyone listening right now who has access to a lathe next time you look at that lathe you're going to think about putting your chap well i just don't think i'm an expert in lathe so i need someone i need to defer to a bigger boy who could tell me the kind of possibilities right got myself a um i put together i've been putting together a lot of who could tell me the kind of possibilities. Right. I've got myself a... I've been putting together a lot of MDF furniture recently, and

after about three or four of these little horrific situations, I bought myself an electronic screwdriver. And now I've got nothing to screw drive. I feel like a man who's got a hammer and there's nothing else to hit. It's a bit annoying, but I know I'll use it next time.

I've completely wrapped my hand on any kind of furniture building this house. Right. It's all done now. You're not getting any more. She enjoys doing it. She doesn't get annoyed

if I'm not around. Make it out of Lego. You like a bit of Lego building. Just make a big chair out of Lego. I don't think I want to sit on a Lego chair though. Why?

Best case scenario it's uncomfortable. Worst case scenario I'm going to collapse on a heap of Lego. That's not really think I want to sit on a Lego chair, though. Why? Best case scenario, it's uncomfortable. Worst case scenario, I'm going to collapse on a heap of Lego. That's not really what I want. Are Lego sponsoring us at the moment? No, they're not. They have done in the past, yeah. We got a Ferrari.

I can't remember what I got now. I don't think I ended up pissing about with it in the end. I would say that I still haven't delivered you your little Lego tool that Ed sent us. Yeah, poor boy. I know. I'm, you know, I'm me. I'm me. I haven't actually seen you properly in person for ages.

Yeah. Basically, you've just not been coming to work. You haven't. You haven't. Oh, yeah, I was in work last week. Yeah, about 8pm, you fucking pervert. Why is that a pervert thing? Oh, I'll wait for everyone to go home

and I'll come to the work under cloak of darkness. What are you up to? Is there a lathe in there? They are doing a lathe. A lathe boy. Yeah. A lathe boy thawfer. It's not office hours, is it?

Is the building actually even open at that point? I got in, didn't I? Got in, got out got in got out the question i asked left a beautiful corpse um the yeah no um uh yeah i was in i was doing doing bits and bobs um yeah yeah well you know i've just been doing stuff big christmas though it can't escape your attention it's been christmas that hasn't escaped my attention i'm very very aware of that it's every year it's the same isn't it um so that's kind of understandable this again i shout peter um so i received what i haven't seen you in person but what i have what has happened recently certainly since we last recorded um you sent me a video of i'm gonna say

billow and the video was him filming the toyota century saying the key doesn't work in southampton what shall i do yeah um yeah and so that is a cliffhanger for me the people who've listened to this have just found this out as a cliffhanger for them as well is the Toyota Century still in Southampton has Bilal found the correct key and is it any geographically closer to you than it was last time we recorded uh no I I it turns out I'd been given a Valet's key instead of the master key, which is, I mean, even like doing, like taking me even further down the food chain. It's not a driver's car.

It's a chauffeur's car. So all of the wonderful developments and the comfort and the warming seats are in the back. So I don't get to enjoy that as a driver. and the warming seats are in the back. So I don't get to enjoy that as a driver. And I've also, to compound my disaffected opinion of this thing, I have also been only supplied with a valet's key. The key you would give to a valet that does not give you access to the boot.

So the boot was an opening and Bilal was basically saying that he was going to get a locksmith out. He did send me a video of the entire front of the console out and a drill. So if he's charging me with a locksmith, I don't think that's a locksmith. I think he's just drilled that. Locksmiths don't work with cars. Yeah, they do. Do they? Yeah, they do.

Yeah, they'll have a crack. They'll have a crack at it. Still just a lock, innit? I thought it would be like a car person thing I don't know no I think it's a I think it's more I think it's more

a lock person thing personally yeah because you have like have you ever been locked out of a car where a man will come round with a little

inflatable balloon and just open the door slightly so he can get his little stick in to lift the child lock off that's very nice it is very nice and it's one of those

things that's like that would be really useful to have in your car but then you can't get in the car so um but yeah they sort of basically just sort of jimmy um a little pillow a little deflated pillow in between the uh um the the car door and and the car and they just with a little pump like you would um if you were doing it taking someone's blood pressure. But they'll tell you this. No. Alex Gonzala locked the keys in the car when we were in the middle of Texas,

in the middle of nowhere. I genuinely can't imagine how you guys, like you and someone like Al, go to rural Texas and actually survive it. Yeah, but the difference is I'm quite good at stuff and Alex isn't. Let me qualify that. You are quite good at some very specific things. Aren't you? Right.

So like cabling, computers you're quite good at. There's not a single thing that I couldn't... There's very few situations you would find in that cabling wouldn't get yourself out. know that's true it's not going to make things worse get the cable involved getting a cable involved it's not going to get things i um i was going to say to you the other day when i was driving up to manchester on sunday i went to

old trafford for for a football a football match a football match and I was running a little bit late and I needed to get fuel and I went into the local petrol station and for some reason I pulled up to the pump and because it's in West Norwood where I live and there's been a spate

of armed robberies recently there's literally four armed robberies in the last two weeks in our town right and I think it's the same person and everyone's losing

their mind about it anyway so there was handwritten signs all over the petrol pumps saying... Don't do that. Pay first, right? Right. You can't just pump petrol. You've got to pay first.

Which I found quite interesting for the main reason that it doesn't arm robber around. Why are you inviting him into the shop? Yeah, and also, why does a robber need to be armed if he's stealing petrol? Could he not just fill up and then drive off? I don't think the petrol station would be a target.

I think you're right. Anyway. I don't think so. So I jumped out the car real quick to go and ask him if that's still the case and whether I needed to pay first. As I jumped out the car,

the fucking alarm started going off. I've never heard the car alarm before. Ever. Yeah. Right? And so I was like, what the fuck is happening? It's a weird noise. I've got the car car alarm before, ever. Yeah. Right? And so I was like, what the fuck is happening? It's a weird noise.

I've got the car key here. So I pressed the unlock button, thinking that would stop it. Didn't work. Nothing worked. Right. So I'm sat in the car, in the petrol station. It's quite busy. Yeah.

The alarm is going off at ear-splitting volume, and I'm really rapidly thumbing the manual, trying to find out what to do. And what I eventually have to do is pull the central console out where the cup holders are. It kind of slides out. Hold the back of the car key over this sensor

and that's the only thing that would stop the alarm going off. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Have the batteries in your key died? No, I don't think so. Because that smart thing is is only if you if your key isn't emitting a a strong enough um a strong enough uh radius oh right so when you put it close when you put it close to that little sensor i think it um the car emits um a strong magnetic or electrical force that allows it you know know, like an Oyster card on a thing. There's no electronics that allows it to self-broadcast its signal.

It needs to have something that sucks out the signal on the Oyster card pad. So I think it's just got, the card just emits enough electricity for that coil to be activated and the information to be transmitted. That's good to know, Peter. I didn't know that. I didn't know anything about that. It fixed it

and there's been no problem ever since. But it was a very, very strange situation. Interesting, yeah. And also, if you have to sort of fill up, if you have to go in and tell them and pay first,

how much, like how much does it just... But a lot of American petrol pumps are like that. You know that? A lot of Japanese ones, yeah. And you've got to pay in the machine with cash.

Oh, really? Now, the ones in the US, you put the card into the pump and it says you can have a maximum of X amount of money. Yeah, it's like the same, but you just put cash in because it's a very cashy society. And then instead of getting change, you get given a receipt and then you have to go around the corner and give the receipt to a woman who gives you the money.

It's just like, oh, God, why have you complicated this? I think it's the state of New Jersey in the US is the only state where someone else will pump your gas for you right okay yeah we see that we think of that as quite an american thing don't we but it's actually not uh yeah you see it you see it around the world don't you i think um i've been in a few places where they insist on on pumping it for yourself i guess yeah um pete you remember remember on the show last week we talked about my dad's brain surgery? Yes. Earlier today, like no joke,

earlier today my dad called me and was like, all right, I was like, yeah, how you doing? He's like, I'm just calling to let you know I've just had some surgery. Whoa. I was like, what? Turns out the big man's had his big toenail taken off.

What? Because it was ingrown. The thing about toenails is they look ingrown anyway. Like they look like they're up to something under there anyway. Do you not think? I know what you mean. He's basically had to have his toenail cut out. Apologies if you're a squeamish disposition and you're listening to this.

And the actual root deadened as well so it doesn't grow back. Oh, God. So he's never going to have a toenail again. Is it painful? Well, he's 70 next year, so if he lives to 100, he only wouldn't have had a toenail for 30% of his life. Yeah, but I mean, you'd still be like, where's my toenail? It'd take a bit of getting used to, wouldn't it?

Did they give you a fake one, like if you have to stick your cancer in a take-out bowl? They put a little protective little... So here's a fake toenail just for the summer when you're on used to, isn't it? Did they give you a fake one like if you have to stick your hands in and they take out a bowl? They put a little protective little... So here's a fake toe now just for the summer when you're on the beach so people don't get freaked out.

You could just glue one on, couldn't he? Put a little, put a 10p coin in there. Yeah. Could be handy. Or a pound coin. Or a metal foot.

And then when he's going to the supermarket he could use it for the trolley. Just jamming his foot and hop up and down the aisles. Brilliant. It sounded quite painful. Yeah, I imagine it it is and i imagine it's local anesthetic but when that fucker wears off oh mother mother of it's and it's one of those things it's like getting a tooth

removed it's pulling it's pulling happening and pushing and i had a tooth removed once with a local anesthetic and you could just feel the grinding and the pressure. It's awful. I've really got to put, like, I'm surprised that when you pull out one tooth you don't smash the rest of them

to be honest. So I've heard that if it's a particularly troublesome tooth what they do is they break it into like four bits. Yeah.

Not good, is it? Where do you learn to do that? How is that the best case? I don't know. It's absolutely disgusting. So the old man has a toenail down. Right.

He's not letting it affect him. Though actually he was disappointed because the day he had it done, it was a Tuesday, and that's the day he normally goes to the pub. So he rapidly negotiated with my mum if he can go to the pub on a different day this week. Right.

That's all right. I think she said no so far. Well, I mean, what's she going to do? I mean, she could literally just stand on his foot. No. And stand on his foot. I was going to speak to my mum because she always gets annoyed that my dad's always down in the shed. And I'm like, why are you annoyed about that?

Best case scenario. You've seen him all his life. I think she just wants to have him in the house and she can shout at him. You've seen him all his life. I think she just wants to have him in the house and she can shout at him. Sometimes she'll be like, your dad wants to get an extension on the shed or buy a new shed.

And I'm like, right. Your dad is stupid. I was like, why? I just don't think he needs it. Whose money is it? Well, it's his money. And where does he always spend all of his time? Down the shed.

So I don't understand how this affects you. Just let him do it. Get him a little bar down the end of the one of the lockdown arms that everyone got the thing is I don't know if your old man's the same

but my old man's now at the point where he can't really have more than like two points he just gets pissed quite quick I think it happens to older people it's not it's not being there's definitely

definitely not how Stewie Donaldson operates he rolls he has about he has about five a day he rolls deep does he he rolls deep he has a... He has about five a day. He rolls deep, does he? He rolls deep. He has a couple in the pub

and then comes home and has another couple. Every day? Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty tiring. For him. It's very tiring, really. For him.

Well, it just means that he just watches the same thing on telly. You know, he just watches news and old talking pictures. What schedule is he on at the moment? He'll be on the... Yeah, he'll be on the... Getting up at one o'clock in the morning kind of what time would he go to

the pub then if he's up at 1am uh he pretty much gets there like 10am which is weird but that's for him that's like lunchtime isn't it well no for him that is it's like 5pm or something yeah yeah yeah that makes sense it does make sense it doesn't it doesn't make sense to anyone else none of this makes sense but within this particular parameter it does make sense it doesn't it doesn't make sense none of this makes sense but in this particular parameter it does make sense yeah yeah um and then and then and then he's um that's every day and he's back home by about what about midday is he uh yeah about one o'clock what time is he going to bed now he goes to bed at six six p.m about sort of rolls off i feel like you're missing the best part of the day doing that.

Yeah. But, I mean, what is there really to do in a house on a hill in Hartlepool? Watching your mum go up. I mean, your mum doesn't know the house. So, you know, she's got a buggered up hip and she crawls up and down the stairs on all fours like a dog. It's... Who does the shopping? It fours like a dog. It's, it's, it's,

it's, it's a funny old house. It's all, it's all remote worker now. It's all delivered in now. Oh yeah. What supermarket do they use? Substitutions.

Um, I think it might be Tesco. I think it might be Tesco. What do you use? What do I use? Um, well,

we eat a lot of Hello Fresh anyway. to be honest, it's annoying. You don't get like a bottle of Domestos on HelloFresh, are you? You can probably synthesize it with the amount of fucking garlic they send you. They send it. Do you know what? Say what you like about HelloFresh.

You get a brand new bowl of garlic every single week. Every single week. And like, I've just given up. I bought a garlic press for it. And I'm like, you know what? I'm sick of fingering out the shards of garlic shell out of this bloody thing every day of my life. I'm just going to get potted garlic. You've got to put a bit more in

because it's red wine vinegar covered. I'm just going to use that. Why are you doing that? I can't be bothered. No, the HelloFresh recipe always involves you chopping up or crushing a garlic bulb or two, right? Just buy it pre-crushed in a jar. Are you peeling it first?

No, no. That's why it's happening, you moron. You don't peel. You don't peel. To put a garlic clove into a garlic press, you just pop it in there. Don't worry about peeling it. You crush it first, you peel it, then you put the garlic in. Rubbish.

Absolutely. I'm going to chop it. If I'm at that point, I may as well do a little chop-chop. What's the point? Just pop it in. To each his own. But I'm just saying,

it's not the garlic press or the garlic's fault that you're not peeling the garlic. Either way, I'm still undressing the little clove of garlic and some of them are really small. What's the point?

Are you doing a little one of these? A little garlic salt bae? A little salt bae with a little salt. No. So, I sing a little one of these? A little garlic salt bae? A little salt bae with a little salt, no. So I sing a little, I sing the Blue Oyster song, stripping song from Police Academy. Very good reference. Like I'm doing a little garlic strip. Great to hear the Blue Oyster bar get a mention. The Blue Oyster bar.

Fantastic. Although I think that was kind of like a Leather Daddy bar, wasn't it, I suppose? It was the kind of like stereotypical, unhelpfully stereotypical 80s movie gay bar. Yeah, Tom of Finland. It's Tom of Finland. Not quite Tom of Finland. And not quite Vito and the Sopranos, if you've seen that. Yeah.

So what you're basically saying is you don't go to the supermarket, you just buy HelloFresh boxes. How many meals a week do you do? Three, but then the rest is, you know,fc's your deliverers and stuff um but um i have i i do go to like there's a big waitress is pretty good but um i've started doing that quite a lumpy the problem with the problem the problem with aldi is um i just spend too much time looking at stuff in the centre. It's a well-trodden soul, but

it's just something new every week that I want. I can't go to Aldi with the wife I've got access to. I'd never get out of there. Just a little insight for you. Aldi do the best nappies. They're the cheapest. They don't leak. It's a great thing thing and so I will drive

to Audi and get the nappies but if I if we go as a family what number is River on he's on five he's on four right okay

so next next stop five right but he but if I go with Meme to the to the Audi oh my god

it's an hour trip oh my god I've just realised you sometimes call Mimi Meme yeah fantastic like the American Meme

Dusty Rhodes yeah you can call her the American Meme I don't really call I don't know why I just called her that then I don't really call her that

I've never done that before I got carried away there I was Stinker was one that I did write six months and then I was informed in non-saturn terms that that was unacceptable I was one that I did write six months and then I was informed

in non-saturn terms that that was unacceptable I just feel I just thought that would be the very tip of the iceberg

Sometimes I bring it back because I forget Yeah Pick your fucking battles Sarah Yeah that's the most benign thing I could think of

living with you I've lived with you for a week before and it was hellish I genuinely felt like I almost died a couple of times It was perfect

Marcus was driving the car at one point. You did not feel like you were in unsafe hands with me. It was at the fry pan to the fire. That's what it was. All right, listen, let's have a break. When we come back, we've got some batteries to do, baby. All right. Go back to school with Rogers

We got you. Rogers. It's the Luke and Pete show. I'm Pete Donaldson. I opened the running order, then I closed it again. God knows why. I've got it here. Don't worry. Christopher Carter has come in with, alright chaps, original first episode listener, first time emailer, first time Mark Bosnett shouter at a Ramble live show in Manchester.

So, Chris Carter is a brilliant name because... Did he do this theme tune? No. Did he x files or am i thinking of another carter so yeah so i was about to say there's a bunch of people called chris carter that are famous aren't there so one of them is definitely a screenwriter they did the x files i'm going to look it up i think he did yeah he did he did he did um there's also an actor called chris carter there's a couple of baseball players called chris carter and the main guy from Throbbing Gristle that isn't Genesis Peoridge is also called Chris Carter. So it's a lot of Chris Carters.

Right, okay. A lot of Chris Carters around. But this one was the man who shouted Mark Bosnich. Yeah. I wonder why he shouted Mark Bosnich. We'll never know. He says, original first episode, one time Mark Bosnich shouted

at the Ramble live show Manchester. So the last time we played anywhere in Manchester would have been on a tour in 2019. It was Salford Keys, wasn't it? Yeah. And do you know who was at Salford Keys, Peter, as well? I found this out literally on Sunday. Producer Finn was at Salford Keys. Was he?

Long before he worked for us. I hope I never work with these lads. That's what he said, actually, and it's backfired. These bloody idiots. Yeah, he's Long before he worked for us. I hope I never work with these lads. That's what he said actually and it's backfired. These bloody idiots. Yeah, he's backfired. Bloody hell. And he thought,

right, I've closed a bullet there, went off to Cambridge to study and then ended up working with us. So he must have done, so that must have been what, going for global lives do you reckon? I guess so, yeah.

Or he just, we were doing a joke about cocaine and you could have shouted that out then at that point I guess. Anyway, clearing out the garage,

ready for a house move, says Chris Tuffer. This little baby dropped onto the floor. I was just imagining a little baby dropping out onto the floor out of a cardboard box.

And he just shoves it into a smoke alarm. Magic Power AAA, clever marketing name, a manufacturer who doesn't know how electricity and chemistry works or Paul Daniels

branching out back in the day, you decide. It's got magic. Well, we will. What's he photographed on, Peter? It looks like some kind of scorched carpet. It looks like a very, very depressing carpet, Christopher, if you don't mind me saying. It looks like he's been ironing on the floor. And I only say this because this is exactly what my carpet looked like at 30 Neymiman gardens hartley put in the 90s um because i i did this exact same it looks like he may have

done a tiny crime and cut out that piece of the carpet for dna reasons exactly a little bit of blood spatter anyway that's the bad news the carpet um and the fact that he's got the same name as those of other people the good news is that Magic Power Battery is a brand new player. Good stuff. That's a great one. Again, are we just going to continue the first three or four weeks of the new year? We have to. Having triple hitters. There's nothing we can do.

If people are sending them in, we're reading them out as honestly as we can. Well, Chris Carter, sorry about your carpet. What I don't like about that photo of the battery is that he's chosen that piece of carpet. Yeah, I sent a picture of a knob from the Toyota Century that the Japanese people sent me. A Toyota Century dick pic. A Toyota Century dick pic.

And I sent it to Bilal. And I was actually quite conscious. There was a little leaf in the background on a table. I was like, that makes me look like I've just got leaves everywhere so I retook it it's not that bad

though in comparison it's not that bad it could just be a mat could just be a protective kind of

mat for like a desk or something I mean let us know Chris Carr we're worried about you because we're going to send someone round

hi there my eldest Roo this is from who have you got here Chris and Roo Let us know, Chris Carr. I'd like to know. We're worried about you because we're going to send someone round. Hi there, Luke and the Peets. My eldest, Roo. This is from... Who have you got here? Chris and Roo. My eldest, Roo, asked very specifically for a remote-controlled

Daihatsu midget van for his birthday. He's been playing Gran Turismo on my old PS3 and doing midget van racing. It's quite a cool little picture. Quite a cool little van. Yeah, it really is. I believe that's a care car.

I don't think you can get them licensed in some parts of America because they'd rather vans that can kill a family driving around. Yeah, but you get taxed less on your vehicle if it's that small. So yeah, a care truck, lovely little utility vehicle you see sort of pootling around the cities of japan absolutely clear for the purposes of chris's presumed son or daughter um has uh it's a little remote control one right yeah i guess so i mean we i mean it is on a desk in front of a computer but he may just have a massive desk and a massive computer yeah um uh i popped it on charge the other day for him and examined this bad boy an lj

lithium ion photos and video attached of the dai hatsu in action i'll be clicking that after the show uh but chris and roe um i can't remember whether we're allowing these or not uh luke did we have if we are allowing them peter and this is your cost to bear this is your burden if we are allowing them, Peter, and this is your cost to bear, this is your burden, if we are allowing them, it is a new player. Right. I think we may have allowed it in the past, the old lithium ions, which leaves us open to allow it. Because it's not really a commercial design. You wouldn't go into a shop and buy that battery, would you?

But I think to help you out, I think from memory that we said, we're not accepting like blatantly just rebranded batteries. So like Pittsburgh Steeler batteries that we had once or... Right, okay. Just someone who just branded up a load of batteries for a gimmicky reason. This essentially is a power cell that he's opened up and found. And he does own it. So I think for me, it feels like it should be legitimate.

And it's a very adorable care car. And I just want to make little Roo happy. So let's bring it in, the Battery Daddy Hall of Fame. Good on you guys, well done. Well done, Chris and Roo, thank you for that. James Pankhurst, or Parkhurst rather, Hello the Luke and the Pete, here are a pair of beautiful batteries, beautiful batteries, I found staring at me from a TV remote control

in a Birmingham hotel room. Someone had stolen the cover. I hope I found a new player, and having listened to you two for so long, I think I deserve it, but I'm not holding my breath. By the way, on a separate note Someone had stolen the cover. I hope I found a new player and having listened to you two for so long, I think I deserve it. But I'm not holding my breath. By the way, on a separate note,

who steals the cover from a hotel room remote control? Keep up the good work and Pete, I'll take the jag off your hands in a swap for a jet ski. James Parkhurst, presumed jet ski owner.

Jet ski owner. Rocket. Shooley, we've had Rocket before. That's not a new player. No, that's not a new player that's not a new player that reflects very

nice design I think it reflects very badly on James and very badly on producer Rory for putting that in to be honest thanks Rory since Rory spends most of his time

doing God's work we'll let it go but two out of three isn't bad two out of three is not bad it ain't bad two out of three ain't bad

just before we wrap up one of my cats Hercules he have been a right dick today he's like a proper sometimes once every few weeks or so he becomes like a proper alpha and refuses to acknowledge anyone else in the house and right when i came into the show today he sat on my chair and he wouldn't get off every time i lifted him off he started crying and then jumped back on again straight away then I went to go and do the washing up

and he wanted to drink out the tap so I let him drink out the tap came back tried to sit in the seat to make the show and he won't let me do the show unless he can sit right next to me

on the footstool thing next to where I'm sitting and occasionally well that's adorable paws me and makes it very clear that he's not very happy about it well look

he's the big dog he's the biggest dog at the yard he's the Roman Reigns it well look he's the big dog he's the he's the biggest dog of the yard he's the roman reigns he's the roman reigns um there where there oh yes i can i can see his head there yes i can see his head yeah little bastard there was a squirrel there was being quite arrogant to me in the park um what happened today i took i took sammy out for a walk um and we were just in the park and this squirrel he wasn't really that arsed about running away from Sammy little fat thing and he was just sort of like

on the tree and he was like really like he was about that close to my face just like eyeballing me eyeballing me I'm not putting on your shit Dawson that's what he's thinking

he's going that's my tree you've come round my house I don't come round your house my other cats spent about six weeks a a few years ago, chasing this squirrel that was in our garden. Right. Couldn't get anywhere near it because it was so fast.

And they eventually cornered it. And I saw the whole thing from the kitchen window and he completely shit himself. He had no idea what to do. He was just sitting there, tentatively pawing at it. The squirrel was obviously like so scared that didn't move and i've got five minutes the squirrel just tentatively like walk past him and ran off and i gave magnus the cat came in back in with like his tail between his legs i was like

you just spent six weeks trying to catch that squirrel what are you doing there's apparently there's a um there's a woman who brings a greyhound around the same park i love a greyhound it's well it's it's i imagine the uh the lovely because they're lovely i love alex brings a greyhound around the same park I love a greyhound it's well it's I imagine the lovely because they're lovely I love Alex Zane's greyhound timid

yes Simon the blue whippet that's a whippet it's a beautiful dog I think it is yeah

they're very fragile though they've got very fragile skin they always look really sad across the chest and the stomachs and stuff yeah they're quite skittish they have quite a lot

of separation anxiety that you've got to spend a bit of time with them. But they're lovely little creatures. Very warm, sleepy animals. But apparently there's a greyhound in that park that will catch quite handsome amounts of squirrels. And the woman who does it is absolutely fine with the horror

that everyone is witnessing. Grounds are really bad. I think overall grounds are the most neglected dogs because I think once they stop racing them, people have got no use for them. I think there was an increased kind of awareness campaign about how to look after greyhounds and making sure they're treated properly after they've stopped racing

and all the rest of it. They tag them and stuff now i think my uh my mate's got one and uh apparently he looked up his um racing record it's it's atrocious he's bad at running his dog is bad at really and and he's got like an extra one basically yeah yeah yeah yeah i think i think i'm not sure but i think um i think Dogs Home is basically full of greyhounds. Yeah, I bet. I could never visit Battersea Dogs Home because I would just come home with a dog. Yeah, I think there's just so many...

They know what they're doing. Put that right next to the train station, I'm telling you. I've got the exercise bit right by this platform. Can you see from the you can see them yeah you can see them it's so sad if you get the train line into Victoria

from where I live the stop before that you can actually see it from Battersea I didn't know that Battersea Park Station is the one before and you can see it

that's why you used to play football I never used to see the dogs that's so exciting do you know what I remember I think it was about six or seven years ago

maybe five years ago, maybe five years ago. It wasn't long after we moved into the place we're in now, the studio we're in now. And I was getting the train in, I think it was the day before Christmas Eve to do a show. Yeah. And I was like the only person training because the whole thing, everyone shut down for Christmas.

And I saw a Battersea Dogs and Cats Home employee exercising a really sad-looking dog the day before Christmas Eve, and I was like, oh, my God. I can't look. I cannot look over because I'm going to ruin my own family by bringing a dog home that no one wants.

But that's the thing with... When you see the depiction of a dog pound in America and the UK, in America, you know that there's some peril there, but we don't execute dogs here, do we? I don't know. You've said that like you don't know the answer. I don't think we do.

Execute them. That's the word, is it? I don't think there's that many kicking around that we wouldn't keep all of them. Unless they're ill, I don't think we'd kill any animals like that. I think they get destroyed if they've attacked humans, don't they? Yeah, but I mean so the death penalty

is in operation it is yeah it's a deterrent it's a deterrent on that cheerful note let's get out of here Peter have you ever been attacked by a dog
