There was a time when football hooliganism was everywhere. For decades it dominated headlines, uniting the front page and the back, merging the two things England loves most, football and fear. As the sport and the world around it evolved, something deeper and darker lingered behind it. Hooliganism's legacy is not as dead as they'd have you believe. I'm Sam Dis, and from Stac, this is season two of Legacy, The English Disease. A story that both is and is not about football. Search The English Disease wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes released every Tuesday throughout October. with me as well Luke you are wearing a beautiful quilted shakket. Thank you very much it's not a shakket you continually call shakket fleece is shakket it's not a shakket it's a fleece but fair enough I think everyone by now knows what you

know what you mean. Do you like my picture of Tutankhamun's death mask? Yes great. On my t-shirt. I do love it. I've been away and I've come back and I'm really into Egyptians. Just really into, like a five year old would be. I've learned something about Egyptians at school, about the pyramids, and now I'm obsessed with Tutankhamen. Well, interestingly enough, when I was a kid, I went to the British Museum.

Oh, somebody lived near London. Well, it's mad because I can't remember what year it must have been. I don't know, probably late 80s, right? They took it to the British Museum and my Nan and Grandad took me there to see it. And it was honestly fucking amazing. Oh, I mean, that is number one kind of like, I don't know where that is right now. I mean, I'm sure Tutankhamen's Death Mask is maskers as they say hooting and touring around the things on tour yeah I was surprised the British Museum agreed to give it back to be honest yeah it's one of those kind of ones where you so go right you kept the

bit of the Rosetta Stone but you gave back to come in like to come as death mask is well better it reminds me of Amiga's Amiga's drugs paint remember German drugs paint on the Amiga? You probably don't. No, I didn't have an Amiga as I told you before. What? Why does it remind you of it? Because it was the front cover of the Amiga version of Deluxe Paint and the only picture

that you had to scribble on was a digitised picture of Tutankhamun's death mass. So it became a kind of logo, mascot for deluxe paint and general Amiga ownership. So it's weird how you just come into the pyramid stuff from different angles, don't you? You do. All roads lead to that. One thing that's quite interesting, I've never been to Egypt, but if you look at certain angles of photographs of the Great Pyramids, for example, you can see how close people actually lived to the pyramids.

Like they've built right up to it really, haven't they? Yeah, just so if you lie on the floor and take a picture up the nostril of your sphinxes and pyramids of this world of this world, it kind of looks quite impressive, but if you stand up you can really see the rest of Cairo, can't you? Right, exactly. Have you been there? I've never been, I've never sanded my boots down there to be honest. You're a very well travelled man, I'm quite surprised you're not been there. I don't know, well I experienced all and everything that civilisation had to offer through the

deluxe paint Amiga edition. True, there's going to be a let down after that isn't it? Didn't need to go much further than that. I would say that like, you know me, I don't like getting pressured into buying stuff and I think there's a lot of that sort of capability. It's not that you don't like getting pressured into buying stuff. And I think there's a lot of that sort of care. But you don't, it's not that you don't like getting pressured into it. You just immediately do it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. In many ways I would be a gift to the Egyptians. I think the, I think post Arab spring, their recovery would have been much quicker financially. If I was

around. Always to do is get dogs to come on a holiday, get him a cheap flight now. Cheap flight. He's only traveling for a weekend. Doesn't matter. He'll get it all done that time. Doesn't matter. He'll do it. I have sort of like, when I used to do my little weekend jaunts and I had a, I don't know why I didn't just turn the fuck off, but I had like a weekend show Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. I would try and figure out the furthest I could go from Friday to Sunday morning and get back. So like I was getting flights from Istanbul at like six in the morning to get back from a radio

show in the afternoon. And when people ask me, as they do a lot, what it's like to work with Pete Donaldson, I'll just play on that story. How fast can I arrive for something? How far can I travel to do? I think it shows in many ways my respect for whatever I've chosen to do because I've travelled so far to get there. Does it though? I had to get up so early to do so and I'm half cut. Listen, the bad news is I've had a really stressful morning because I've travelled two

and a half thousand miles. The good news is I'm still pissed, so I'll be a confident broadcaster today. Yeah. Work for a lot of TalkSpot. Still does. Still does. It's the only work for me at TalkSpot. It's their fault for giving me a show so late in the day. Good point, yeah. If I were to venture further down this particular avenue of conversation read your employability Peter as is my want

Yeah, I would also say the one thing that I think people would expect of you is to be quite unpunctual and you're not No, it's a big enigma that it's That's why I'm such an enigma. That's why I'm so interesting. No, I was Absolutely fouled up this morning by an overrunning show, but that show was overrunning at seven o'clock in the morning. So I think I can be allowed a little bit of wiggle room that I've built into my day. Well, I don't think you are. I actually think you're pretty good overall. I wouldn't rate you as my level, but I don't think you're anywhere. Yeah, but I live as discussed and it's my decision. That's what you'll always say

That's oh damn Say there was the show harder I live miles away if we if you were the pyramids if the stack central was the pyramids I would not be in Cairo. I'd be in Cairo on sea Lovely part of the world lovely part of of the world. What are they doing car on sea? It's the same as Cairo but just there's candy floss as a peon made of wood and a lot of 2P machines. Yeah, a lot of people on a Saturday afternoon driving their classic cars to just wang about up and down the seaside. Speaking of 2P machine, when I was a kid someone told me that they basically knew a kid on their street, I only

found this later on, who would say to go up to people on the street, kids of their similar age or maybe even a bit older and say, I've got a 10p machine, do you want to see it? Do you want to play it? And that person would obviously say yes. So give me 10p then. That person would then take the 10p and the 10p machine would be basically he would just put his trousers and pants down. Oh okay like a little nudie peep show. What the butler saw if the butler was on a wing of a jail. You know like back in the 80s or whatever, that was just being, I was an eccentric kid

down the street and you wouldn't think much of it. Yeah, but it was, I mean, fundamentally it's a kid. If you're a man of over, I'd say even at 18, you're fine. No way. No way. If you're 18 and you're just popping yourself out. No, stop saying it. It's a contract. No way! If you're 18 and you're just popping yourself out. No! Stop saying it!

It's a contract. You're not qualified by saying it's for a contract, officer. It's a contract at that point of, is there? I offered the 10p machine and that person, yeah, the... Presumably if you're 18 and doing that in the pub, you've put your prices up by then, haven't you? Yeah, well I guess there's other machines too. Well, I can either play on the gambler or I can see this guy's chopper. What do you want me to do then haven't you? Yeah, well I guess there's other machines too. Well I can either play on the gambling

or I can see this guy's chopper. What are you all going to do? That's not going to make me more money is it? If you're doing it, if I'm your agent in this situation, you're doing this at the age of 18 and we're roughly the same age so I'm the same age. The peat tree of the penis. I'm sitting you down and I'm saying, we need to start charging a pound here. Yeah, because you're pricing all of the other perverts out of the market as well, aren't you?

Well, people are used to putting a pound of the machine in the pub, aren't they? There should be a collective or a union, not a union, a collective of people who are showing off their flackers for money. I'm walking you into the pub. This is the late 90s here. I'm walking you into a pub and I'm saying, stand there next to the machine, the fruit machine, and take as many pound coins as you can

and just do me a favour, holler at me when your pockets are full of pounds, right? And you're tired of pulling your trousers up and down again. And that's a great business model, that. It's, I think you've got to dress it up better though. You can't just go, people go, do you want to see my cock and balls? Here's, it will cost you a pound. What you think of the neon sign for the pound, for the one pound machine? I just think you need to sort of sit down and like work out the, you know, the advertising.

Like put a bit of romance into it, you know. Get a surprise? Or would you just call it a surprise? Yeah, get a bodily surprise. For a pound you can have a bodily surprise. Because they're not going to know, they're going to think that you're going to attack them because it's a bodily surprise. Probably need a licence don't you though? No one's given you that licence. Otherwise it's just indecent exposure isn't it? Really? It's decent. There's nothing indecent about commercialisation is there? Oh sorry, but if Mr Coca-Cola makes some of his sugar water available for customers, it's absolutely above board. But I use the body that God gave me

to make a bit of coin that admittedly will go back in the Gambly's. Why am I rounding Chris Iffer? Can I say to you and the ladies and gentlemen assembled here at the court today, how can it be indecent when this man enjoys his work so much? RG Exactly. And he's pitted a little face on the end. Toby I don't know we've got to talk about that. Oh yeah, because as a kid, yeah, it's just...

RG A kid lad used to get his work. I wonder what he's doing. To be fair, he's probably just working in the city now. Toby Oh, 100%. RG Because it's a simple sort of thing, isn't it? Debasing yourself for the dollar. Oh sorry, it's Stuart Lee's hand up for the show. What a bitter satire that is. Stuart Lee makes great play that he's got a mortgage.

He's not got a mortgage. He makes coin. He's had a couple of TVs, that's 20 grand apiece. Yeah, but he lives in Hackney, doesn't he? That's going to cost you... I shouldn't dox him but I don't know specifically where he lives but I'm pretty sure he lives in that part of London. He lives in Stoke Newington, I've seen him. That's even closer. Go and find him. Yeah, it's like he will be fine.

I reckon he would have bought a house there quite early as well. Exactly. He's been around there for ages. My ex used to live there and he was around there like 12 years ago. Yeah, but you might have remortgaged, don't you, in this financial situation? He's been consistently successful and toured for the last 20 years of his life. He'll be fine. Well, listen, we've just done a Palladium show and I'm about to tell you later on how much money you'll get and pay for that and you ain't going to have that opinion then,

I'm telling you. I'm going to be you later on how much money you're getting paid for that and you ain't gonna have that opinion then I'm telling you. I'm gonna be wanking for coins again. We wouldn't make more money. I'll tell you. Get a little chopper out again. Fuck the merch stand. I mean to be fair, that's pretty much what happened on stage, let's make that very clear. Fuck the merch stand.

This lad here, he's a human merch stand. I will fuck the merch stand. Ten quid. Watch me do it. I don't care about spelks. So you're saying that Stuart Lee has made a bit of coin. I think, you know, in the grand scheme of things, we've made a bit of money. We've still got mortgages. Oh, it's I, I stop and think and I sort of say, yeah, but I bought late. I bought really

late. You should have bought in Hartlepool. I've done everything. Oh my God. Some of the, so we went up to, we've been on all day for a week. Yeah. Tell us about, um, Annick. We went up to Northumberland and I've not seen a lot of that place. It's fucking lovely. It's fucking lovely. I mean, you, you know, you scoot past it on the way up the old, um, A1 to, to, to, to, to Bonnie Scotland. But good god, Northumberland's got a lot going for it. I think, I actually believe, and you know I know that sometimes I'm cast as one of these metropolitan lefty elites who hates this country and everyone in it,

that's partly true, but I think in terms of a place to visit, there is no one more passionate about holidaying in the UK than me. I do it all the time. Everywhere I go is beautiful. It's a beautiful place. And I'm sure Northumbria is no exception. I've not really been there. The closest I would have been, I guess probably is the Peak District, maybe North Yorkshire, and then obviously Southern Scotland. I've kind of skirted it. I've been to Newcastle with you for work, but that's basically it. I think it's worth... We went to Lindisfarne, where the monks make all the mead. They're still doing it?

I think they're still... Well, there's certainly a lot of it on sale. Did you walk up there and go, listen, who's got a quid? Who's got a quid? I need some mead. But Lindisfarne's an amazing place, isn't it, from what I've seen? A mead. Yeah.

Do you have to sail out there, do you? Say again? Do you have to sail out't it? They need for mead. Do you have to sail out there do you? Say again? No, there's one road that leads to it and you can only access it when Lord Tide. But there are a lot of posters on the wall saying you can't outrun the North Sea

and I was like, fuck it up. Which is a challenge to you right? There was a video on YouTube of a man a taxi driver I think, an Uber, who tried to outrun the, out drive the North Sea. And to be fair, it was supposed to be like a kind of cautionary tale from the Coast Guard, but it looked cool as fuck. It looked absolutely brilliant. This guy was fucking smashing a Toyota down a, down a, down a receding road, a rapidly disappearing road. And he just looked like he was having

the best time ever. And the Coast Guard were flying a drone over the top of it. So it just looks even more badass. Nothing I'd want to do more than try and outrun the North Sea. Mason- That's good stuff for you that. That's red rag to a bull. Matt- Red rag to a drowning, isn't it really? Yeah. Did you, so I've heard that there are several people that live on Lindisfarne, right? Yeah. I don't know. It's very, it's very remote. I imagine they must get really, it's a weird life to live there because you've got this kind of like, I'm going to use the word because I was describing this in the ramble as leafy and bucolic and beautiful because beautiful kind of like little island.

And then at like 11 o'clock every morning, just filled with randoms milling about like a fucking... Is it busy then? Yeah. It's like Portsmouth and Pat land. It looks like Portsmouth and Pat's town, Greendale. And it's like, and they just people just mill about, just tutting and humming and stuff. It's so weird. I don't know what people do. Is it popular with tourists or not? Yeah, it's popular with Christians I imagine, because it's just full of, it's where the

old, where it all kind of kicked off I think there. Them and the Vikings. Where it all kicked off. Where it all kicked off, the old Jesus stuff, probably not. Doesn't make any sense really, probably came from the south. But they seem to really, really have a big ball. You're the only man I know who's sincerely forgot how Jesus died. Yeah. And I went to Catholic school. But they're not into the actual story of Jesus. They're

into the hell, fire and brimstone business, aren't they? Yeah, the penance. It's about a penance, isn't it? The penance. It's about, do you know what it's about? It's about drawing up a big ledger of all the good shit you've done and all the bad stuff you've done and then deciding whether you hate yourself or not. It's basically 2am anxiety writ large in it. It's like 5am, oh god, the things I've done. Made into a big fleshy religion. Yeah, fleshy. Exactly. How many sins of the flesh did you commit in Lindisfarne?

Oh, in Lindisfarne, I bought some meat. Were you greedy? Were you envious? Yeah. Were you wrathful? Can I breed? I have the need for me, breeding mead. Will mead make me breed?

Oh, well there's some T-shirts saying that on it. No, I only wear exclusively death masks of young pharaohs. No, you have got a T-shirt that says, I like the Pope, the Pope smokes dope. Haven't you? Yeah. But I just think that reduces him to just, you know, one thing he does. He also vips. There was a man, there was a man next to me who absolutely honked of the sweet sticky icky this morning on the train.

Yeah. And I think he was a... I don't know. He had... he's like an S60 bloke and he's like, I got... it's the first time I've ever... it's the first time I've ever punched with strapping. Like he'd strapped up his hands to do his boxing or whatever. It's the first time I've done strapping it really hurt and I think I brought and I pay wrong enough I think I brought my end what was he telling you this he wasn't saying he's on the phone oh you didn't say that but he was tired and he was like and I've got to get my jaw fresh as well he's like I might as well you know might as well get it all done at the same time

no doctor's gonna do your jaw and your hand at the same time. I felt like, oh mate, you're off your head on that sweet weed. Have you lost your mind? Do you feel like, do you still feel like Essex is just completely full of bigger boys these days? Yeah, that wasn't even Essex, that was Hackney, he got off at Hormonton, near the house of Stuart Lee. Was it Stuart Lee?

Was it Stuart Lee? No, I don't know. It's just a weird kind of... People do live different lives, don't they? Plenty of things I need fixing, but none of them have been caused by me punching too hard. What do you feel in these fictions? I am punching, if the comments underneath Sarah's pictures are to be believed on Instagram. Constant torrent of exactly how absolutely mutton you are. Yeah, sorry about those.

What does need fixing physically about you most at the moment would you say? Wrists, probably the wrists. Oh yeah, you're always on about the wrists. Where's your little wanking claw? Then the lumpy scare took over. The lumpy scare took over and I never got it checked out so I can't scream every time I put my hands in my pockets. Why aren't you wearing your own glove anymore?

Because I shamed you. I just think it adds to my general Colin from the British Empire look. I don't know why they haven't improved on the original neck brace design do you know like Roman Collin from the British Empire yeah I'm suddenly absolutely stunned that I've never made that comparison with you before I'm annoyed at myself that I haven't it's just like it's just like I try even in like a even in like a three-piece suit I look like I've got a plaster on me somewhere do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like some people, they just look tidy and some people don't look tidy.

And I'm very much in the second camp. And no matter how, on my, like, you know, on a wedding day, I would, I would even, I would, I would even look like I was, you know, just there would be a weeping saw somewhere on me and I'd take my shirt off and there'd be like a yellow stain on there. It'd be in all the photos, wouldn't it and there'd be like a yellow stain on there. It'd be in all the photos wouldn't it? It'd be in all the photos. Oh god I went to a wedding once where a bloke, I know, jam, he's never jammed, and his face, he got like an infected cheek I think and in the night

it just went wahhh and it went up like proper elephant man, Merrick-esque kind of like deformation of his face. Bright red, it just looked like it needed a good squeeze, but it was the entirety of one side of his face just an absence of something. What did his wife to be say? Absolutely wild. I mean the photographs are hilarious. She must have been fuming though, no? I don't know, I think if you could point to the entire one side of your face being bright red looking like really shiny at that, you could probably sort of say, you know what,

this really isn't my fault. I didn't choose my face to get infected. What we did for our wedding though is we went back a couple of days later to the place and dressed up again and then got the photos done then. Oh, what's that? I mean, not because I had a facial disfigurement, but just because I didn't have much time. I'm sure it's lovely. With the stitches still healing. I'm sure you'll get some stitches.

Yeah, I would say like, I mean, weddings, weddings, but like going back and taking the pictures of you like in like, in like the middle of like a nice garden or something. Yeah, we were in a nice... I guess that makes sense but like I just... it does make you so... it does pick up the very what are we doing this for kind of like vibes of a of a celebration I suppose. Yeah maybe we want to send... she wants to thank you Carl to out and we wanted to have a nice photo shoot during... because we got married in the

winter so there wasn't that much light. Oh right okay nice. And so we had to just do it, we just had to do it like that. It says here. Let's have a break here, when we come back we've got to see if we can induct a few more batteries into the Battery Daddy right? Oh god it's Thursday isn't it, I forgot about that. Yeah. Lovely. And also Peter, over the coming shows either in the second half if we have time or maybe on Monday, I really want to talk to you about Mr. MacMahon. Have you seen it?

Yes, yes. Let's do that on Monday. Lovely. Smashing it. Alright, cool. I just had an idea live on the show. Sorry about that. See you in a minute. There was a time when football hooliganism was everywhere. For decades it dominated headlines, uniting the front page and the back, merging the two things England loves most, football and fear. As the sport and the world around it evolved, something deeper and darker lingered behind it. Hooliganism's legacy is not as dead as they'd have you believe.

I'm Sam Dis, and from Stac, this is season two of Legacy the English disease a Story that both is and is not about football Search the English disease wherever you get your podcast new episodes released every Tuesday throughout October It's the Luke of Pete sure I'm Pete Pete Donaldson and everything Thursday we talk about all things battery brands. Basically if you find a bit of, a lovely bit of battery action inside a little flap on some electronics you own. We want to know about it if that battery has a strange or rare name. Tutankhamen's death mask was battery powered actually, not many people know that.

It was the lights through the eyes lit up and the mouth opened and it would go, come and get me. It would just say slogans like Cowabunga. He had a couple of vatas in there. The party starts when we arrive, it says for some reason. What other battery powered catchphrases did Tutankhamun's death mask say back in the 1920s when it was discovered. Oh, there are a lot of people dying of lupus. No, but he died thousands of years ago, didn't he? He did, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ah, ah, I drink a lot of precious milk. Didn't they drink a lot of precious milk back there?

Wasn't it like ass's milk or something? Ass's milk, yeah. They're all like good, weird milks. Yeah. Asses milk. We should milk horses. He also said, I bet you'll never figure out what those pyramids were for. They were the world's titties. I live in a big triangle, motherfucker. Two Carmichael's famously lived in the big pyramid obviously as well It is my big pyramid is basically escape room Adam has got in touch Via hello look at pete show calm. Hello there chaps. Thank you for all the content over the years. He's sharp Adam

Found these in my daughter's new Elephant Piano, which has since broken due to excessive hammering against her other Monkey Piano. This is an amazing email. I mean, I hate to glorify the ivory trade, but Adam seems very comfortable with the concept. Yeah, LD Max is the battery brand they've found inside the elephant piano. I think this is the first ivory trader we've had listening to the show actually. Yeah, it's so boastful. So bloody boastful. He also says, PS, you'll never catch me.

You'll never catch me. I'm coming for your horns. He also says, PS, if ground up elephant tusks don't work for sexual prowess, then why have I got a hard on right now? That's what he said. What are they? LD Max? LD Max. I think they're German. I don't know why. It looks like there's an approximation of a German flag next to it. Kind of not really.

Yeah, it does a bit. I don't think that's what that's supposed to be though. No, I don't think it is. There's no wrong way. They're not new players. Even though Adam sent an email in twice at 8.33pm on August the 27th and 8.36pm on August the 27th, they'd also been sent in earlier that month from our friend by our friend Chase. So you're only the second person to send them in I'm afraid. So not a new player unfortunately but thank you very much for getting in touch and lack of battery daddy status, unfortunately for young Adam. Dylan, hello King battery, that's it. Dylan's got a picture of a wonderful retro King battery designed by a dad on possibly deluxe paint and he's put their hand next to a lovely, what's that? A succulent? What kind of lovely cabbagey looking plant is that?

Yeah, I don't think it's a succulent. I think that, bearing in mind just typing the word king into our database is very difficult to check, but I think I'm right in saying that if you also search for Battery, I think it's a new player. I think I'm going to say he's officially a new player with the caveat that if you are listening to this and you know for a fact you've sent in a King Battery before, re-up the email and I will happily rescind the status from my friend Dylan because that's how ruthless I am. But now it's a new player. Congratulations. It's good stuff Dylan and I'm glad it's a new player because the design of the battery is wonderful. It's really amateurish. It looks like it was it's a sort of art you sort of see on a you know those score devices that you get in a snooker

hole I don't know why it just reminds me of that. Yes. It looks very oldie worldie pubby kind of vibes. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. Definitely designed by hand. Chris has got in touch. I come to you in search of the elusive bat trick of new player submissions for the battery daddy. I came across these gems after my nearly two year olds at toy drill ceased to work. By cheap, by twice as they say. Yeah, toy drill. As it's one of his quieter toys,

I didn't mind reviving this one. When opening the panel, I came across three of the finest full win batteries. I have a feeling I've heard these before, but I'm hoping they'll join my submissions of the Power Owl and the Vital Pile in the Battery Daddy. I just love that Chris has got the battery in the Battery Daddy called the Power Owl.

Well, the Power Owl and the Vital Pile sounds like things you would find in an owl's nest. It does. My son thinks every bird is an owl. Oh. So if he sees any bird he'll just go owl, owl, owl. Owl's quite, because it's a two syllable word, it's quite a difficult one to get out. The vowel sound is easy for him to say but he's never actually seen a real life owl. He's just seen him in books. Well you need to get out, owl. I think the vowel sound is easy for him to say, but he's never actually seen a real life owl. He's just seen them in books.

Well you need to get them to an owl sanctuary. I do. I think owls are scary and spooky. If someone said like, that is the ghost of all of your great grandparents and they are judging you, and it was an owl, I would go yeah, that works out. That does look like an owl. Yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, one of my grandparents is still alive though, so that would be surprising to me. Right, okay.

That would be nice. Well, if they were with the owl, that wouldn't be a lot at all. Oh, I'll come on to a story about that in just a second. But first, I'm going to say to you, Chris, unfortunately, the elusive bat trick is still elusive because you're the tenth person to send in for a win. Trust you got, mate. You thought he wasn't quite there, but Chris, I mean- Keep trying.... power owl, vital pile. Lovely dog in the background though, Peter, of the photo. Oh, beautiful.

One of those dogs that always look like they've got like David Boy eyes. Looks like an Australian shepherd. I could be wrong. Beautiful. Anyway, speaking of my grandad, I went to visit him last weekend and the way we go to his house is you walk through into the back gate, through the back garden into his house and the door's always open because he lives in a small little town. And so yeah, he gets the door open. You like surprise him. Yeah. No, he just, he just still was open. And we walked into the, myself and the Wi-Fi I have access to walked past the shed and then both thought the other person had made a noise by knocking the shed or something. Cause it made this really weird noise.

Right. Okay. And I was like, Oh, what are you doing? And she was like, what are you doing? I was like, nothing. So why the shed make that noise? And then it made noise again. And we're like, fucking what's in the shed? It was in the shed.

There's something in the wood. Exactly, literally. So I said, all right, I'll go and check with my granddad. So I went in there and I was saying, oh, granddad, there's something in the shed. And he was like, what? And obviously older, so I had to say it a few times. And he was like, what, okay.

And by that point, Mimi had opened the shed because she's much braver than me. And this squirrel ran out. Yay. And I said, oh, it's a squirrel. Granddad, there's a squirrel in your shed. He was like, yeah, he's always in there. He'll be back tomorrow.

I was like, what? How'd he get in there? How'd he get in there every day? High on paint fumes. Doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. But anyway. What else is in the shed?

Is it your granddad's store of nuts? Must be. I reckon it probably is that he keeps a big bag of nuts in there for the old bird feeder. Oh my cereal will shred. Oh yeah, of course. Yeah, that must be that. Right. Anyway, um, what are we doing now? Oh yeah. So should we do an email before we go? Or should we just go? I don't know. I don't really care. I'll do what you want. I'll do a quick email, right? All right. Let me find one that's quick then. What do you want? Do you want one about, what have we got here?

Dirtiest one you can find. Dirty boys and girls. I'm just going to choose one at random. Neil, six degrees of podcastation. Hi pals. Could be Pilot Neil maybe. Is it Pilot Neil? No, it just says Neil.

He says, all the listeners saying they've been here since the start got me thinking. How did I find this weird little podcast with two men just chatting shit? Good point rude And I worked out in a six degrees of separation style because I have not been a loyal listener from day one So at least Neil's being honest, you know, right? Yeah Okay, so he says first of a pod was atheletico mince because I love Bob Mortimer He says, first of a pod was Athletico Minsk, because I love Bob Mortimer. Find out Andy Dawson, Bob's Athletico co-presenter had another pod called Top Flight Time Machine.

The above mentioned Andy Dawson and Sam Delaney are on that. They mentioned they're guesting on The One Show Show, hosted by two guys I hadn't heard of, John Holmes and Mark Haynes. That entered my weekly rotation. During this show, an advert for another podcast hosted by Mark Haynes and some squeaky little northern lad called WrestleMe airs. I like Mark, he's a funny guy, I like wrestling,

I listen to WrestleMe, enters my podcast library and becomes my first ever Patreon pod. Pete seems funny so I search him in Spotify and I discover the Luke and Pete show. So thank Bob Mortimer and my boring 10 hour tedious manual labour job for finally finding you. Cheers lads, Neil. Mark's one of those people who should be podcasting more and I should be podcasting less, but the reverse is true. Well, I would, my view on Mark, and I'm happy to make it public because I've told him already, so I'm not talking tales out of school. I think he's the most talented, one of the most

talented people I've ever met and I would love him to do more podcasts at Stack. He says he wants to, I text him about it and he never replies. It's as simple as that. He's very busy working with his core man, Richard Bacon, who is now in the business of selling TV concepts. And they've been very successful in very short period of time. A lot of investment. But and Mark sort of marks in Germany today for meetings. So there you go.

Does Richard Bacon write meetings with M.E.A.T. because he's bacon? He should. Actually, yeah, yeah, that's a very, very good point. Would Mark ever consider working with people who aren't named after me? Well, we will never know because Meher Donaldson is here and Porkmower is here as well. So, you know, you never know. But yeah, he's constantly been dragged all around Europe selling TV concepts and stuff to dirty his feet with more podcaster-y. Bless him. He does find the time to write

an astonishing large newsletter about wrestling. He does, it's amazing. And that we can be thankful. And speaking of that, on Monday we're going to do a little deep dive on Mr. McMahon, aren't we? But until then, run it up your fucking ribs. That's what I say. Run it up your ribs. We'll see you on a a Monday do drop us a message if you've got a battery brand or if you've got a humorous little email to tell us all about through the media email send us examples of emails you've received at hello at linkage show dot com we'll be back on Monday. I would love that it's a good idea See ya. The Luke and Pete show is a stack production and part of the Acast Creator Network.

There was a time when football hooliganism was everywhere. For decades it dominated headlines, uniting the front page and the back, merging the two things England loves most, football and fear. As the sport and the world around it evolved, something deeper and darker lingered behind it. Hooliganism's legacy is not as dead as they'd have you believe. I'm Sam Dis, and from Stac, this is Season 2 of Legacy, The English Disease, a story that both is and is not about football. Search The English Disease wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes released every Tuesday throughout October.
