How you doing Luke? It's the Luke and Pete show and it's a Monday.
You've had a great weekend.
This is pre-recorded, we're not recording it on the day because we're in New York City.
By the time you hear that,
Luke's going to be on his way.
I've got a really wet mouth.
Oh, get your wet mouth.
I wonder if there's anybody,
I think celebrities with wet mouths.
We will be.
I wonder if anybody's spotted.
On the way to New York City,
although Pete
you might still
already be there
what um
if people were to
imagine you
on a transatlantic
flight flying from
London to
to the US
what are you doing
on the flight
what's typical
Donaldson behaviour
I'm like Will Self
I'm taking heroin
on Air Force One
or whatever
didn't he say
he took heroin
on a plane with
Tony Blair
did he
yeah
wow
big talk just showing off really you will on a plane with Tony Blair? Did he? Wow. Big talk.
Just showing off for it,
isn't it?
You will have neither heroin
or Tony Blair.
I am probably playing
Zelda on my Switch.
Love that.
And probably waiting
for the next mail.
I'm going to study
ahead of the trip
Super Mario Odyssey
to get right into it
and then I'm going to start
playing it for the trip.
So I'll probably be playing Super Mario Odyssey right now as people listen to this. Cool going to start playing it for the trip so I'll probably be
playing Super Mario Odyssey
right now
as people listen to this
cool
I've got two Switches now
because I'm a flipping idiot
wow how come
because they released
a mini version
which really works more
with my lifestyle
slash pocket size
so Switches are just
too big for the pocket
I think people are going
to start saying
we're out of touch
we've been talking
about hotels recently
we've been talking
about Pret-a-Mange
we've been talking
about having two Switches
when you don't need them
well I'll sell one on I've just got a lot of computer equipment to get on eBay first We've been talking about hotels recently. We've been talking about Pret-a-Manger. We've been talking about having two switches when you don't need them.
Well, I'll sell one on.
I've just got a lot of computer equipment to get on eBay first because I was in a big old battle with some processor manufacturer
slash salesman online.
They would not give me the money back when I returned it
because I'd got the aforementioned thermal paste on it.
What piece of kit was it?
It was an i9 Intel processor.
Is that big potatoes?
That's pretty big potatoes, Luke.
If any computer builders are familiar, that's pretty big potatoes.
Is it the biggest potato you can get?
I put the big potato in the motherboard
and realised that it was a duplicate item,
so I put that back in the box and sent it back,
and they said, we can't resell this.
The seal's broken,
and there's thermal paste on it.
I said, well,
how would I know
whether it worked or not?
Sunshine.
So they tried to charge me a,
and indeed they did charge me,
a 25% restocking fee.
Go fuck yourself,
aria.co.uk.
Yeah?
You hear me?
A-R-I-A.co.uk.
It's a very interesting story.
There's lots of process there.
Yeah.
Don't go to Aria. I mean, they were well. There's lots of process there. Yeah. Don't go to our...
I mean, they were well within the rights to do all of that.
I just Googled wet mouths, celebrity wet mouths,
and I've come up to the 13 sexiest celebrity mouths on the planet.
Can you name any?
I will name two sexy celebrity mouths.
Okay.
And what date is the article?
They're all fucking women.
What date is the article? They're all fucking women. What date is the article?
The date of the article
was
2014.
The 13
sexiest
celebrity mouths.
I'm just going to go
with two absolute
crowd-pleasing guesses.
Katy Perry.
Nope,
not on the list.
Scarlett Johansson.
On the list. Yes Johansson on the list
yes
I got one
that's not too bad
brilliant
yeah
I mean I've just gone for
I'm surprised you didn't go for the Jolie
that was a pretty famous one
oh yeah Jolie
to be honest
I've not spent much time
thinking about it
and you've just sprung it on me really
one of them
is Georgia May Jagger
Mick Jagger's daughter
I mean come on
that's
oh with the gap too
well yeah
and the lips it's Mick Jagger's daughter for crying out loud it's. Oh, with the gap tooth? Well, yeah, and the lips.
It's Mick Jagger's daughter, for crying out loud.
It's going to have lips, isn't it?
I've got a gap tooth.
She's doing it for us.
Doing the gap tooth lot.
It was just me and Madonna for years.
Yeah.
Lana Del Rey.
Yeah.
I mean, why are we doing this, Pete?
I don't know, mate.
I just like Googling stuff.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
This wasn't the initial...
Solange Knowles.
Solange.
Solange.
She's one of the biggest recording artists in the world.
Oh, fuck off.
You work at a radio station.
Do you get to choose one song an hour?
I get to choose one song a day, I think.
One song a show.
But it has to be a certain type of song.
Yeah, of course.
There's no point in me choosing...
So you couldn't choose like Hammer Smashed Corpse
by Cannibal Corpse?
Probably not.
Hammer Smashed Face, sorry,
by Cannibal Corpse.
An unforgivable
Cannibal Corpse era there.
It's like you and your Wu-Tang crew.
Yes.
So what was the example
of a song you would be able
to play off your own volition
on the radio station?
Welcome to the Black Parade
by My Chemical Romance.
That's what you would choose?
That's not what I would choose.
I'd clearly choose
I'm Not Okay.
Not okay.
Who's that by again?
Oh, My Chemical Romance.
My Chemical Romance.
They were massive for a bit,
weren't they?
They were massive
until they weren't.
Gerard Way.
Gerard Way.
I read a really interesting article
this week
and I might be a bit behind the curve
but I make an apology for that
and the reason
it was interesting
is because I'm of the age
for it to be
entirely relevant
but it was a
retrospective
look
and then a further
catch up
20 years on
of some of the
biggest gladiators
from the TV show
Gladiators
okay
physically biggest
no
just the most popular
one
so this this this journalist caught up with wolf, jet, lightning, and cobra.
Okay.
And it gave me all the nostalgic feels, I'm telling you.
It was amazing because back in the day, Saturday, you'd have your tea,
you'd watch Gladiators.
Then when you got a little bit older,
it would be the thing you'd watch before you went out with your mates to the pub. Saturday, you'd have your tea, you'd watch Gladiators. Then when you got a little bit older, it would be the thing you'd watch
before you went out with your mates to the pub.
Yeah, okay.
I just kind of loved it.
Because obviously I do that
podcast on Mark Haynes, WrestleMe.
I guess there were probably
very few wrestlers that would be
so familiar to people.
Wolf.
Like Wolf probably was
massive,
wasn't he?
Like a massive star
in the UK,
certainly.
In a very small
catchment area,
obviously,
but yeah,
incredible.
Wolf said that,
in the article,
he said that
he wasn't designed
to be a bad guy.
Right.
And he said that
this is rubbish
because everyone's
really good
and like,
there's nothing to it
kind of thing.
Yeah.
Let me be a bad guy,
a bad guy. And they were like, no. And he said, of thing. Yeah. Let me be a bad guy, a bad gladiator.
And they were like,
no.
And he said,
let me do it for one episode
and see how it goes.
And they were like,
okay.
And obviously,
he absolutely killed it.
He said,
if you don't like it,
I'll never do it again.
And the whole thing went mad.
His hair,
well,
because he looked different
to all of the other gladiators
because he was quite,
a little bit older,
I'd say.
I certainly looked older
in the first.
He was on the cover
of the video game
Barbarian and Barbarian 2 with Linda Lusardi. I remember Barbarian. Back. I certainly looked older in the first. He was on the cover of the video game Barbarian and Barbarian 2
with Linda Luce Hardy.
I remember Barbarian.
Back in the day.
Back in the day.
But Barbarian was, because Wolf was now 67 years old.
Jesus Christ.
So he was a bit older.
But he was one of the most famous,
I reckon he was probably one of the most famous people
in the country at one point.
But yeah, it's just quite interesting how like,
there's something about it seemed a lot more innocent,
didn't it?
Do you think it seemed innocent?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
And I guess...
But these...
Because nowadays, you could go into any gym and pull out five, six, seven men and women...
That are ripped.
...who are absolutely ripped.
Some of them will be carrying Pujol sticks.
Back then, it was so sort of rare.
Look at him
on the cover of
Barbarian
the video game
Barbarian
I had that game
you had a special movie
where you could
chop the guy's head off
yes
Linda Lusardi
my god
my god Linda Lusardi
my god
what are your memories
of Saturday Night TV
it was an amazing one
it was just brilliant
back in the day
I was saying to you
the other day
wasn't I
we were on the train
going somewhere
I said to you
if I could bring
any TV show back
ever
I'd bring back
Big Break
yes you would you went on a what can only be a five minute rant about how good answer you the other day wasn't I? We were on the train going somewhere and I said to you if I could bring any TV show back ever I'd bring back Big Break.
Yes, you went on a what can only be called
a five minute rant
about how good
Big Break was.
The format
is just so good.
It's such a good show.
Did you used to get
like proper
world class
snooker players
or snooker players
who had gone off
the boil a bit?
No, no,
you'd get a mixture.
They'd have like
Jimmy White on there
and stuff.
Right, okay.
But they would have to be
they would probably
it wouldn't be about ability
because obviously
all those snooker players
would be good
yeah
for that standard
for what they needed to do
it's more about
whether they would be
kind of fun
fun yeah
yeah
it was just an amazing show
I love snooker anyway
so that's probably
got to do with it
but to me it feels like
when now you do have
big shows like
you'd have Strictly Come Dancing
you'd have Britain's Got Talent X F street come dancing you have um britain's
got talent x factor all those comments i'm a celebrity etc but they're different aren't they
because they're more about i mean for example i'm a celebrity that's i'm pretty sure that's
on like every day and it's all it's as much about the the online sort of presence the hashtag
and then big brother of course broke the mold where they had that thing where you could watch
it 24 hours a day but back when i'm just talking about like straight Saturday night TV classics,
like bangers, straight bangers.
So like Noel's House Party, Big Break, Gladiators.
These were like proper shows.
I've just got a lot of affection for those kind of shows.
Hugely.
I mean, I don't remember Saturday night television that much,
but I do remember Fresh Prince,
then Crystal Maze.
They weren't Saturday though.
I'm just saying
that I don't remember
Saturday night.
Right.
Probably because
I'm not drinking and partying,
but the Friday night
was always
go down quicksave,
get a booty bag,
get some discos,
get some cloudy lemonade.
Booty bag.
Get yourself home,
get yourself home,
watch a bit of Crystal Maze,
watch a bit of, maybe
a bit of Red Dwarf,
was Red Dwarf be
Friday?
Well, actually, after
Fresh Prince.
Red Dwarf was
colour 8pm midweek.
After Fresh Prince and
after the Crystal Maze,
you would be getting
into 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock
Friends and Frasier and
stuff like that.
Perfect even.
Perfect.
For me, I'm talking
Generation Game. I'm talking Baywatch. I, I'm talking Cheers. I'm talking Generation Game.
I'm talking Baywatch.
I'm talking Gladiators.
I'm talking Blind Date.
All that shit left me cold,
to be honest.
Noel's House Party?
Yeah, I used to watch a bit of that, yeah.
You bet.
Yeah, no, not really.
None of those kind of hit me.
I can't remember
what I would have been doing
at that point.
Don't forget your toothbrush.
That's Friday night, isn't it?
Oh, no, no, no.
WFH was late,
late Saturday, wasn't it? On Channel 4, no, no. WFH is late, late Saturday,
wasn't it,
on Channel 4.
Do you remember
the all-time classic,
the perennially underrated
and actually
just straight bad
Man O' Man
with Chris Tarrant?
Do you remember
Chris Tarrant's
Man O' Man?
Yeah, they used to
get all of the
sex offenders in the town
and they used to
congregate on a
shopping centre
and find a man for a woman, didn't they?
No.
That wasn't it.
Well, it was, wasn't it?
No, no.
This was...
Was Davina McCall involved?
No, no.
It was Chris Tarrant.
Or maybe Davina.
I can't remember.
But ten guys would stand there.
Wasn't it in a shopping centre?
No, it was in a studio.
This purpose-built studio.
Right.
And it had a big swimming pool at the top
with this kind of like scene.
They get pushed in.
Yeah.
Get in the pool
and there would be
women in the crowd
exclusively
sounds more Barrymore style
to be honest
yeah
for goodness sake
and they would all vote
and the one with the least
amount of votes
got pushed in the pool
and the last guy
won man oh man
I think he got
a little trophy or something
Saturday Night TV
was the one I'm telling you
it was so good
but anyway
that article about the
Gladiators is quite interesting
because he meets Jet
and one of them
Rhino
is apparently
quite a big producer
in Hollywood now
that's interesting
yeah
would you have
Jim Davidson
back on our screens
doing a big break
the thing is
Pete
and I'm not going to
win any favours by saying this
particularly not from the guy
who thinks I'm a gammon anyway
it's almost like
the Richard Keyes thing.
Whether you like it or not,
and for the record,
I don't like it,
Davidson was a very good guy
on telly.
He worked.
He was very good on TV.
He worked.
Barrymore's brilliant on TV.
If you watch clips of Barrymore now,
my God, he's brilliant.
Barrymore should never have
lost his career,
in my opinion.
Mark,
did you see my story
got fucking put in Pop Bitch?
Tell people who are listening.
Barrymore, kiss me on the lips
and asked
me and a friend
You need to give more context on that mate, that's just people putting their cars
over now. The day that Barry Moore
was acquitted of Stuart Lubbock's
death in his
on-swing pool murder
a day where he should have been probably keeping his head
down, he went to the Century Club in London and I was working for in his own swing pool at murder a day where he should have been probably keeping his head down
he went to the Century Club
in London
and I was
working for a radio station
and we'd gone out
for a few drinks
and it was kind of like
my first taste
of what I would call
a media
goings out
media night out
what year was it then?
God I don't know
whatever
I mean you could probably
just google whenever
Stuart Lubbock was
he was found not guilty
yeah
he comes in and he's massive and he's wearing a baseball cap.
And I think our producer, Paul, still has that baseball cap.
If you're listening, you know where to get it.
Paul, the producer from XFM.
Yeah, and he tried to shake my hand.
And I was trying, because he wouldn't stop holding my hand, basically.
I tried to teach him a credit card, kind of,
uh,
kind of like a brushing against kind of hand.
I've learned this new,
uh,
this new handshake,
um,
fella,
Michael,
Michael,
and,
uh,
and did the credit card and he sort of like fell over,
knocked our newsreader over and sort of landed kind of in front of me on his knees.
And he gave me a big old sloppy kiss.
And then later on,
he,
um, asked if we wanted to go to his house
and the worst thing
I'm going to do
is wank you off
it's not the worst thing
you're going to do
yeah
I'm sure
I'm sure I'll see worse things
people are just going to be
confused by this
yeah
but he said
and they got picked up
by Pop Bitch
he got put in
in a gossip email
I mean
Mark Haynes was there
from Wrestle Me
so it was probably something to do with him to be honest but he got put in a... I mean, it was... In a gossip email. I mean, Mark Haynes was there from Wrestling Me, so it was probably something to do with him, to be honest, but...
It got put in there.
It got just put in there like just a story, just a...
And I was reading it.
I was like, hang on.
Anyway, my only experience with Michael Barrymore was Strike It Lucky.
True.
It's a great show, and he was very good on that as well.
He was very good.
And Ant and Dec are very good on something like TV as well.
Let's just review every person we know.
I wish I could just watch all those shows again and review them.
Jim Davidson's Twitter account has been taken down
after he tweeted a number of messages in support of Minister Mark Field,
who pushed a protester at a charity dinner.
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
Seems weird that...
He grabbed a woman by the throat.
I think so, yes.
Very, very problematic.
Jim Davidson's a terrible guy.
Just saying he's good on telly.
I just wanted to see what his tweets were.
I imagine
location
Great Britain
because the
problem is
to understand
that I think
you've really
got to have
a limited amount
just a tiny
amount of
experience on
TV and realise
how hard it is
and for them to
be so good at it
anyway he's a
terrible guy
I'm pleased he's
not on TV anymore
for obvious reasons
but there's no
place for him in
2019 just saying he was talented as a TV presenter speaking of memories do you reckon I would get away with Terrible guy. I'm pleased he's not on TV anymore for obvious reasons, but there's no place for him in 2019.
Just saying he was talented as a TV presenter.
Speaking of memories,
do you reckon I would get away with
wearing what can only be described
as a gold ingot pendant?
I don't know what it is.
Back in the day, my dad had one.
Let's have a look.
And I always thought they looked kind of cool.
Oh yeah, they look great.
Big, sort of chunky, kind of...
I think Charlie's got one.
Has he?
I think so, yeah. Are the kids doing it? I think Charlie's got one has he? I think so yeah
are the kids doing it?
I think Charlie's got one
yes
I'm going to get
a silver ingot
pendant
me and my dad
have St Christopher necklaces
do you know those?
those are just a cross
or something
no it's like a little
pendant
but it's got
St Christopher carrying
the child across the river
right
it's a cool little pendant
because I've never worn
I've still got it
I've never worn any jewellery
before in my life
apart from a watch but I just Because I've never worn any... I've still got it, I just don't wear it. I've never worn any jewellery before in my life, apart from a watch.
But I just think I should get into it a bit.
But while you're contemplating that, Pete,
let's have a little break.
You can buy yourself a gold ingot pendant.
A pengant?
A pendant.
And then we'll read some emails.
She's going to report me for saying bugger, you know.
Oh, just wait till I see your mother.
You're in real trouble.
Oh, I say, what if she's going to go and see you?
Then tell her this.
Bugger, sheep, fuck, sheep. Fucking sphinct trouble. Oh, I say, what if you've got to go and see her? Then tell her this. Bookish, ain't function.
Fucking sphincter.
I forgot. He never gets old.
He kind of really throws himself
into that one, doesn't he?
Hello at LukeandPete.com
is the email address, of course.
I know I said that very fast.
So hello at LukeandPeteShow.com.
Ewan from Aberdeen
has emailed in about Postman Pat.
Okay.
We talked about Postman Pat a week or two ago,
and this is a follow-up.
And his black and white cat.
Yeah, exactly.
He says,
Due to the fact that until recently I regularly had to endure Postman Pat
at 5.30 in the morning with an annoyingly awake toddler on my lap,
I can confirm that Postman Pat is still lovingly crafted using stop motion.
And despite being spruced up slightly,
the theme song is still essentially the same tune and lyrics
that we enjoyed as children in the 80s.
What Luke may have been confused by is the outro tune,
which is now special delivery service,
an annoyingly catchy ditty that I catch myself humming.
I'm just going to load it up.
That I catch myself humming more often than I'd like to admit.
It sounds a bit like this.
The other major change is that Pat no longer works for Royal Mail
after they mercilessly sacked him in 2000
because they decided he no longer fitted with their corporate image.
To make ends meet, he now works for the inexplicably well-resourced Special Delivery Service.
Sorry, this is Phyllis Navadad, isn't it, really?
A little bit, yeah.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!
Let's get rid of that.
He goes on to say, Ewan, in Aberdeen, he says,
All the evidence suggests it's a zero hours contract.
Pat will be sitting eating with his family when a phone call from his boss,
who's called Ben, a 20-something pen pusher who never leaves his fucking desk.
What a tit.
Means he has to drop everything and head straight to the depot.
The only consolation for Pat is that Special Delivery Service,
or SDS as they're known, kit him out with an orgy of transport options,
including a 4x4 Jeep,
a motorbike with sidecar for Jess,
a helicopter,
and even a plane that can take off vertically.
That is badass.
The low point for the franchise
came a few years back
when they made a feature-length film
in which Pat enters the Greendale talent show
and is revealed that he has a fantastic singing voice,
which was provided by none other than Ronan Keating.
That's probably
more than you wanted
to know about Postman Pat
given it's a three minute
tangent during today's show
but sadly I know more
about Children's Chosen
than any kind of art form
intended for adults
these days.
Keep up the good work
and speak to you soon.
All the best Ewan
from Aberdeen.
Do you know what I'd
really like to see?
Go on.
Motorway
or interstate
and a man on a motorbike or interstate and a man
on a motorbike
maybe a Harley
with a sidecar
with a dog
with goggles
yeah
doesn't happen much
does it
you just never see it
there was two
two dogs on the tube
on the way in this morning
they didn't know each other
they're both little
yappy dogs
and they were going crazy
at each other on the tube
it was chaos
love it
one actually
eventually had to move
down the other end
of the carriage
cool off one of the carriage.
Cool off.
But one of the dogs, it was like a little terrier.
It was so excited while they were a dog.
It kept trying to get away from its mother.
She couldn't hold on to him properly.
He kept squirming away.
It was exciting.
Love it.
It was exciting.
I love when dogs go batshit.
You got an email there? There was a lovely corgi on the way home from Newcastle.
That was an arduous journey.
Five hours.
I know.
Five hours on the train.
Ours was bad, mate.
I'll tell you about our one.
Our one got caught.
Wasn't there a man called,
who looked like George Bush?
Yeah.
He was shouting.
Why was he shouting?
Because it was overcrowded
and he kept stopping.
And the guard came over the tannoy
and said that,
that we're going for a part of the track
that's not electric.
So we need to go on the diesel engines.
Yeah.
But the previous driver,
up until Doncaster or whatever...
Yeah, filled the fucking...
And warmed them up.
Right.
So we had to sit there for 20 minutes waiting.
And then someone pulled the emergency alarm.
That's...
Annoying.
That's bad behaviour.
Anyway.
Yeah, carry on.
What email you got there, mate?
Joseph.
Hey, Joseph.
All right, lads.
Long time listener.
First time email
after hearing Luke
recount his anecdote
of buying cheese and carb
batteries from a bloke
in a pub in episode
199.63
I felt it was my duty
to regale you
of my experiences
with Cleethorpes'
greatest pubtrepreneur
yeah I didn't buy
the carb battery
or the cheese
I just had it
I had it offered to me
I didn't purchase it
a lot of very blocky items
a few months ago
I was visiting my dad
for the weekend
in Cleethorpes
nice part of the world, and
ever since I turned 18 five years ago,
we would always pop into his local to numb our senses
prior to getting home to be mobbed by my younger
siblings. This time, however, when nipping into Sainsbury's
before the pub, we bumped into a new friend of
my dad's. With jeans hanging off his arse
and some very well-used bags for life in each hand,
I was wary of how my dad had come
to know this gentleman. They exchanged pleasantries
and upon leaving, my dad shouted,
I'm running low on coffee and cheese, by the way.
You know where I'll be.
I'll see what I can do, comes the reply.
Just stealing to order.
I'm suspicious, and five minutes later,
before we'd had our first sip, the man returns with, inexplicably,
an open box of at least 75 dairy milk chocolate bars,
the sort a newsagent would display on the counter.
The man offers my dad the lot for a tenner,
but perplexed, my dad offers a fiver
to get him out of the pub.
He duly obliges, and after my dad,
rather tongue-in-cheek,
reminds him of his previous order.
The coffee in the cheese.
As we're tucking in to presumably stolen goods,
the man returns and whispers to my dad's friend
that he's got a bag of KFC chicken fillets.
Any sane person at this point would assume
that this now obvious, very accomplished shoplifter
had pilfered the Sainsbury's fridges
for some KFC branded chicken fillets.
Do those even exist?
I don't think so, Joseph.
Wow.
Yeah, well, you'd be wrong.
As it turns out, he spotted the KFC staff
across the road on their fag break,
sneaked around the back of the shop
and directly emptied the freezers
full of loose raw chicken breast into his bag for life.
This man is a thief. him to shout, ah, what's that sticking into my hand? This isn't all breast, there's a bone in the hand.
All the while,
his hand's dripping
in chicken juice.
The man accepts
a greasy fiver
for the presumably
£20 worth of chicken
and leaves never
be seen again.
Despite probably being
accessories to several crimes
by the end of the afternoon,
we found the whole thing
hilarious and I won't
be surprised if my
brothers and sisters
never want to see
a bar of dairy milk again.
Also, I'm vegan now.
Oh, right.
And that was from Joe who saw us in Newcastle on Friday.
I'll tell you what.
Injoyable.
Fiver for that kind of...
Greasy stolen chicken.
Yeah.
Would you put them straight in the freezer?
Would you enjoy them later on?
At the risk of incurring the wrath of people
from that part of the world,
it's very much how I imagined Gleethorpes to be.
How rude.
How very rude. I've never been there. Well, why are you saying that then? No, I shouldn't be saying world. It's very much how I imagined Gleethorpe's to be. How rude. How very rude.
I've never been there.
Well, why are you saying that then?
No, I shouldn't be saying that.
It's mean rude.
Thank you for that.
It's very much similar vibe
to how the guy with the cheese
and the deli,
the deli block of cheese
and the car battery.
Christian's also been in touch saying,
this is a bit,
this is a bit of an interesting one, Pete,
because last week
you were talking about
why American eggs are white.
Yeah. And the UK ones are brown.
And you sort of ascertained that you thought it was because they were cleaned better.
Christian just emailed in saying white eggs are from white feather chickens, brown eggs are from brown feather chickens.
That's all it is.
Yeah, but the very specifically bleached eggs in America are because they were cleaned within an inch of their lives.
Right.
But I can't see if that's true.
I can't believe that's true anyway because I've never once
had a white egg in the UK.
And there must be loads
of white chickens in the UK.
Yeah.
No, I think he might be wrong.
You reckon?
Well, don't ask Joe
because he's a vegan.
He won't know.
Why are eggs white in the US?
There we go.
Have a little Google, mate.
Protein spots are mainly found on brown eggs
because they're from a blood vessel rupture.
Ew, gross.
Oh, dear.
Gross.
Not what you asked, though, is it?
Not what I asked, though.
Oh, by the way, I'm going to Secret Cinema Stranger Things in December.
Are you going to dress like little boy?
Oh, is this going to enchant me? Are you going to dress like little boy is this going to enchant me
are you going to dress
as the policeman
no you get given
a thing you've got
to dress up as
oh right okay
so then don't have
so many of one
more than that
I've got to dress
as that little
munchkin boy
I've got to dress up
as the hot shot editor
of the local newspaper
what's Mimi got
I can't remember
what she got
I presume Mimi's going
you're not going by yourself yeah she is so we're going on the 22nd of December but it's not like other secret cinemas they're not showing newspaper. What's Mimi got? I can't remember what she got. I presume Mimi's going.
You're not going by yourself.
Yeah she is.
So we're going
on the 22nd of
December but it's
not like other
secret cinemas.
They're not
showing a movie.
It's like a whole
theme park type
thing.
They're not
showing anything
at the end of it
though.
I don't know but
it's all set up
like Starcourt
Mall apparently.
Right.
Have you been to
one?
No but you made
me yawn there.
Sorry.
My mate's done a
couple of those
ones. I think the Back to the my mates done a couple of those ones
I think the Back to the Future one
and a couple of those
where you get assigned
a little
little guy
little mystery
and somebody pops into your life
and goes hey
I need some help with this
and you
total off and
have a bit of an adventure with them
very exciting
yeah it's supposed to be very good
but the only
there's no way to know
where it's going to be
you've just got to go to this
particular spot and wait
right
and they're going to pick you up
and take you there
that would annoy me that involves minibuses don't like it don't like it going to be. You've just got to go to this particular spot and wait. Right. And they're going to pick you up and take you there.
That would annoy me.
That involves minibuses.
Don't like it.
I may never be seen again.
Mother.
Stranger things.
I've happened.
I've noticed some strange things.
Does someone go missing
and then they just
go on an adventure?
It's good, mate.
Instead of calling the authorities
just go on an adventure.
When all is said and done
all the people who hype it
and all the people who say
don't be bothered because it's been
hyped, it's just good.
It's just well done telly. Give it a bash.
Give it a bash.
At the bangers of mash. Alright, let's get out of here, Peter.
That's about enough of this, I think.
We'll try and do an episode later this week
where we're in the US. We'll take the mics and see
if we can get it to happen. It should be
lots of fun. If you don't hear
from us, then we have fucked it up.
I'm Luke, that's Pete.
