Welcome to the Luke and Pete show!
I'm here, my name's Pete Donaldson.
Luke Moore is also here.
And Luke Moore did not tell me I had a spot on my nose.
Ah, yes.
I'll give it a little squeeze, it's alright now.
I am Luke in this foul jamboree
and the spot on the nose thing
is that
I find it difficult
because I didn't actually
notice that one
right okay
fair do
but if I did notice it
see I'm someone who does
like to be told these things
if I've got something
in my teeth
yeah
food gets caught in your teeth
a lot more as you get older
it's just a fact of life
I would prefer to be told about it
and I regularly say to my wife
I can't believe
you've let me sit there
in X event
with a piece of whatever it is,
pepper.
In my eyeball.
Yeah.
Can't believe it.
I can't believe you've let me sit there
with a massive lamb chop on my head
and not said anything.
An entire turbot.
She always says the same thing.
Oh, I didn't see it.
Shut up.
Liar.
You just didn't want to say anything.
Do say something.
I don't like to look at your visage,
Mr. Moore, she says.
That's fair enough.
So I didn't see your spot,
but if I'd seen it,
I would have probably
taken the mickey out of you.
Wow, what a humdinger that is.
Yeah.
I'd like to thank the man
who works for American Airlines
in Houston, I do believe,
who was at the counter
who pointed out to me
in a rather surreptitious way
that my flyers were down.
He said, excuse me, sir,
your flyers are down.
But can I just say,
and I'm not suggesting that you,
this is not meant to be actionable
or potentially libelous
or a slight on your good name
in person, Mr. Donaldson,
but of all the people I have ever met,
you have your flyers down the most.
Yeah, correct.
Why is that the case?
Attention to detail.
I'm not a details person.
I'm a big picture guy.
But do you wear a particular brand of trousers
that means that happens more regularly?
I wear a lot of trousers,
which don't always have zips.
Right.
I wear a lot of trousers around the jeans.
Jeans have zips.
Trousers have buttons in general.
And yeah, I'm always flying low. These shorts I've bought are bad trousers around the jeans. Jeans have zips, trousers have buttons in general. And, yeah, I'm always flying low.
These shorts I've bought are bad for it as well.
I just checked them out.
They're okay at the moment, yeah.
It can happen.
Sometimes you get a loose zip.
Anyway, it's the Luke and Pete show.
It's Monday, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's Monday.
You're very welcome along.
We are going to try and brighten up your commute, your run,
your session in the gym,
or your next half an hour of pretending to do work.
Maybe you are pursuing a man with a knife down the street
and you're listening to us.
We're going to accentuate that experience with tales of the unexplained.
Maybe you're listening to us while you are performing a 360 in a stock car race.
Or an ollie on a little finger trick skateboard.
Little finger trick skateboard.
We still haven't got to the bottom of that.
Finger boards, I think they were called.
Finger, were they?
Finger boards, yeah.
Okay.
Like on a violin.
If you're new to the show,
we don't start every single show
talking about spots on Pete's face.
No.
We do tend to shoot the shit for a little bit
and then read your emails.
Pete, what have you been doing
apart from not sorting out your complexion?
How's your haircut going?
We heard about that a week or two ago.
It's growing out nice.
You weren't very happy with it?
I've been doing a lot of...
I've been hanging out with a lot of live musicians.
As we spoke before.
I went to Lisbon,
and then I went to see Paul Simon who is very small
and then
I went to
interview Noel Gallagher
and he did a set
and it was very hot
and I forget how lovely
people from Manchester are
and they deserve
better weather
how are you getting on
with the
I just don't understand
why they're so cheery
when the weather
it's so overcast
all the time
and it rains all the time
why are they so happy
why are they so nice why are they so smiley all the time and it rains all the time. Why are they so happy? Why are they so nice?
Why are they so smiley? I don't understand it.
They don't deserve that weather. They've all got a bit
of an attitude on them, though, to be fair. No, they haven't.
The worst part of the country
for rain, oh well, I mean, if you like rain, it's not
worse, but the most prevalent
rainfall, I think,
happened somewhere in the Lake District, and it is
something ridiculous, like 320
days a year or something. Really?
So it's not actually Manchester that's the worst.
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah.
It's up that way, though, isn't it?
Yes, same neck of the woods, I suppose.
Same Gregory.
I really wanted to ask you a question about hair again.
Oh, that's what it was.
The question I wanted to ask you, Pete,
was we are men of a certain age.
Yes.
And we mentioned a week or two ago
about how you you know,
you were being
criticised for wearing
an item of clothing
from Top Man.
Yeah.
Top Man's not
Top Boy, is it?
True.
Dickhead.
But I do find myself
in a situation now
where I don't want to
dress, you know,
with the greatest respect,
like an older person,
but I also obviously
can't dress regularly
in Top Man.
So I have to sort of
find some sort of
weird hinterland between the two.
I was going to say the word hinterland.
Yeah, enjoyable.
But you seem to just, you dress quite young,
you just crack on with it, you don't care.
I wear trousers, I never wear jeans.
You do wear jeans sometimes.
I never wear baseball caps, never wear jeans.
I wear jorts in the summer.
Jorts.
I wear jean shorts in the summer, but that's just me.
No, but I think when it comes to
semi-formal
and formal occasions
you're quite well dressed
I'll give you that.
Absolutely.
But I think
this is going to bring me
onto my question
which is going to be
because you've got
darker hair than me
and you're not going bald
I've never
nor am I
but I'm never going to
have to answer
the grey question.
Is that true
because it'll just
go straight from
blonde to grey
can you see it
going grey now
I can see a couple
of grey hairs
can you
but they really
don't stand out
but yours are
going to stand out
so what are you
going to do about it
probably nothing
I just hope it
comes in in one
big streak like
the barber of
Fleet Street
is it
what's his name
who's that
I'm thinking
Paulie Walnut,
so Soprano.
Yeah.
She's got the grey wings.
Yeah, she's got the grey wings.
But then it's quite short on the side.
I just want it to come in
with a streak like,
I don't know,
Nigella Lawson or something.
You're looking exactly like that guy
I saw on the tube
that looked like you,
do you remember?
Yeah, oh, he's completely grey.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He looked like you,
but he was completely grey.
Wunderbar.
So you're just going to let it happen?
Yeah, I don't have a problem with it.
Once you start dicking about,
I interviewed Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers,
and he gets involved in the old moustache and beard dyeing.
It's just unedifying.
You've got to do that too, especially with a beard.
It grows so quickly.
You have to colour that in.
And you can basically see underneath the brown,
the sort of weird mahogany brownies dye there,
the white hair, and it's like, jeez, guys.
Did you sell that to him, or did you go,
oh, goodness me, that's great.
Goodness me, that's great.
That's the thing, though, but with being a rock star,
you can do whatever the hell you want,
and not so you've got the resources, as well.
So you can wear sunglasses indoors if you're a rock star.
You do do that?
People don't go...
You do that all the time?
I do that because I wear prescription lenses,
and sometimes I forget to bring my spectacles,
which also I rolled on a couple of days ago.
I've ruined my spectacles because I rolled on them in bed,
like a stupid bear. Was it in the throes of passion
no well
sleeping
throes of sleeping
and speaking of that
Sir Cliff Richard
he's got
their dye going on
I mean he's 77
Sir Cliff
no one thinks
you've still got brown hair
no I know
you're 77 years old
well a lot of
again a lot of actors
happened with Tom Jones
didn't it
Tom Jones and then he just went white immediately.
He just went, oh, fuck this.
Fuck this, yeah.
Fuck this shite.
Do you reckon he would have come and thought,
I haven't got any fucking left.
I haven't.
I haven't got an appointment.
I've bloody run out, haven't I?
All the shops are closed.
I've got to be at the Royal Variety performance soon.
I'm doing the voice.
There we go.
Yeah. I would have liked to have seen the halfway houseiety performance soon. I'm doing the voice. There we go. Yeah.
I would have liked
to have seen
the halfway house
sort of thing.
Remember when that
block out the
um
um
uh
who's H from Steps?
Uh
who's H from
uh
Ian Watkins?
Ian Watkins from
the other one.
Oh you are talking
about that one?
Yeah I'm talking
about that one.
You're always talking
about him.
I just like I just think his mugshot is a...
He was quite good looking in his mugshot.
Even though he was dreadful
in some things he did,
his mugshot was one of the better mugshots.
The best ever mugshot.
But his hair had clearly died.
He'd clearly been dyeing his hair for a long time.
And he's completely, completely white haired.
So the dye was half out, half in.
What's your point?
He still looked badass.
The best ever mugshot was David Bowie.
Yeah.
It looks like a fashion shoot.
It looks like a fashion shoot.
Cocana.
Doesn't it?
Yeah.
There's definitely drugs involved,
but I mean,
it's the best mugshot of all time without question.
Anyway.
Some of the best interviews
where you see David Bowie on cocaine,
just Google,
Bowie cocaine interview,
and he is so on cocaine
like
so on cocaine
and the one where he's
in the back of the taxi
which is that one
it's just
it's just paranoia
it is
he can't sit still
he's looking out of every window
I guess if you're someone
who's that famous anyway
you're probably quite prone
to paranoia
as it is
right
it's a very very good advert
everyone's looking at you
all the time anyway, aren't you?
It's a great advert for not taking cocaine.
Put it that way.
It's just, and some of the stories from, like, rock stars and even just, like, people who just didn't have that much of a problem,
like, bashing back, like, three grams a day.
What are you doing?
Are you just on the toilet all the time?
I don't understand.
There was a story about...
There's no way anyone can do that in a sustained manner.
There was a story about
a quite well-known figure in music
that I'm not going to name
because I can't remember
the exact detail of the story.
Hitler.
No, it wasn't.
It was very underrated
as a musician I was going to be.
Who, who...
I can't remember
if this is in his book or not,
so I'm just going to leave him nameless.
He had a horrendously bad
cocaine addiction.
Right.
I think in the late 90s.
And he found himself
doing all that horrendous stuff
that we're led to believe
drug addicts do,
like looking for little rocks
of cocaine in the rug
and all that kind of stuff.
But apparently,
he went to the pub
on one Sunday with his pals.
Just for a bit of Sunday lunch or whatever.
And was obviously going back into the toilet
on the old nose bag.
And when he was sat down at the table in the pub,
the septum of his nose fell out.
Ugh.
That happened to the block out of...
It's worse than that.
This story is worse.
He said his first thought
was to get that piece of his own
nose yeah put it on the windowsill behind him so it could dry out because he gets some good
good drugs out of it wow that's rock bottom guys that is rock bottom it's weird how it attacks that
bit of the nose like it actually just pops out it's like oh it's not great is it who are you
gonna say who had that? Status Quo.
Oh, did he?
Fell out in the shower.
I think it was either the blonde one or the, I think it was the blonde one.
He was like, yeah, I mean,
something fell out.
What's his name?
He's not left us, is he?
Has he left us?
Rossiter's dead, I think.
No, Francis Rossi.
Rossi, sorry.
Has he left us?
I think Rossi died.
The ponytail died,
but the blonde guy
is still with us, I believe.
Rick Parfit?
Did Rick Parfit die? Yeah, Rick Parfit's dead, I think. Oh, okay. Francis Rossi is still with us. Okay, Rossi is still with us, I believe. Rick Parfit? Did Rick Parfit die?
Yeah, Rick Parfit's dead, I think.
Oh, okay.
Francis Rossi is still with us.
Okay, Rossi's still with us then.
Yeah.
Surprisingly, together band.
Well, not anymore, obviously.
No, for obvious reasons.
They went around for ages.
They were playing up until his death, pretty much.
Yeah, there we go.
Whatever you want.
Agos.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do? They had a 50-year career in music,
so someone on a mic could go,
whatever you want, Argos.
If you didn't like it, you shouldn't have taken the money for it.
Exactly.
Let's get out of here and go to emails, Pete.
All right, then.
Let me just press this button.
That's going to need to be louder.
Fixup, look sharp sharp I remember buying that record
I love that
I love that album
he is good
and he should come back
with better things
it's a brilliant
brilliant brilliant album
fix up look sharp
happy shopper
I like it
at one point he says
happy shopper
you don't see them
very often anymore
now it would probably be
erm
what's like a popular
off brand er Budgins erm no there's a Budgins Now it'd probably be, what's like a popular off-brand?
Budgins.
No, there's a Price Chopper.
Price Chopper?
Yeah, get them in South London.
You get them in South London.
Price Chopper?
Yeah.
Jesus.
Spa?
Yeah, I mean, spas are, yeah, spas are good.
Do you remember All Days?
All Days?
We used to have All Days when we grew up.
You down south and Down North,
two very different things.
We had Heron's.
Literally never heard of it.
Heron's.
Presto.
Presto?
Yeah, I think they were like one of the earlier
kind of Scandinavian sort of supermarket brands.
Net-O.
What we should have done is,
if we had any planning,
you should have done like ten of them
and five would have been real, five not, and see if I had guessed them we should have you should have done like 10 of them and 5 would have been real
and 5 not
and see if I had guessed them
because I wouldn't have
guessed any of them
yes
this is the email section
where we
frankly the creatively
interesting part of the show
where we hear from you
the listener
the quality of these emails
has never been higher
no
we're 80 odd episodes in
and it's still
people's stories
are still being told
aren't they
we're very much like
you and I
are like john hurt
in that sunday evening creepy show uh co-produced by jim henson was it called the storyteller oh
yes that was terrifying when you're a kid i didn't watch a lot of it i wrote i used to watch a lot of
young indiana jones at that point storyteller was on like sunday evenings and it was oh man i used
to watch it i don't know why but i used to i used to be so scared of it. Anyway, Sam's been in touch.
Hello to you, Sam.
Thanks, Sam.
He says, hi, Luke and Pete, the Luke and the Pete.
In reference to child actors in episode 81,
Luke specifically mentioned the child actors
from Netflix hit Stranger Things.
Oh.
Have you seen that, Pete?
No, I haven't.
You should watch it.
I think we've dealt with that before, to be honest.
He'd like it.
He says, I work for a summer camp in upstate New York,
and I'm originally from the UK, and I. He says, I work for a summer camp in upstate New York,
and I'm originally from the UK,
and I've been listening to your shows for a long time.
The reason for writing in is that Noah Schnapp,
Will Byers in Stranger Things,
that's the main kid, really.
The kid who goes missing in the first series. Has he got the funny face?
There's one kid who's got a funny face.
He's got the bowl haircut.
Oh, right, okay, yeah.
They've all got quite funny faces.
He says, he attends our camp and has done it every year since 2013 the summer camp that sam works for over more recent
years he has been able to attend camp on a less regular basis but will always ensure he spends
any free time over the summer with us a very humble and genuine kid who lists tom hanks as a
previous co-star noah uh recently joined us for a long weekend to be with his twin sister so there's
no real point to this story, but interesting
nonetheless. He says, I'm also pretty sure
he was stage school trained, which is something we talked
about. But good to know that Noah
Schnapp, aka Will Byers in Stranger Things,
is a good egg. Good egg!
Good baby egg. Hopefully he doesn't have a
tortoise dropped on that egg.
Watch out, egg. There's somebody who got
in touch pimping a YouTube
channel, but for crying out loud, I don't have the name of him.
It was about the knives.
Did you see this one?
Oh, I did see that, yeah.
Do you want me to try and find the email for you, Peter?
Yeah, go on then.
All right, you fill and I'll try and find it.
Well, I'll do a quick one here.
Hi, guys.
Your podcasts have made my commute to and from work
in hideous Bay Area traffic bearable.
So for that, I salute you.
On the topic of posh people being angry,
my family still laughs when I recount the time
we saw somebody steal a parking space in Greenwich Park.
The loser of this battle proceeded to get out of his car,
shake his fist, and in the poshest voice imaginable,
shouted,
You selfish sod!
I like that. I've got a lot of time for that.
That's wonderful.
We were pissing ourselves too much to notice what happened next.
Did you see, that was George in San Jose, California.
There was a guy who, there's a video going around of a man who was like,
it was two lanes of traffic going into one.
And this guy was like having a lovely day.
He just sounded like the happiest guy on earth.
And he basically shouted to the car who wanted to get in front of him
on this two lane into one lane situation. He basically said, right, rock, paper, wanted to get in front of him on this two lane into one lane situation.
He basically said, right, rock, paper, scissors to get in front of me.
And they did like a rock, paper, scissors across the car.
The guy won.
In situ.
Yeah, and the guy won and got in his place and this guy was loving it.
Rock, paper, scissors, man.
It was beautiful.
I mean, you're holding up people behind you there.
Yeah, you are.
Yeah, to be fair.
You've got to be more reasonable than that.
Rock, paper, scissors.
I've just forwarded you the email about the YouTube channel if you want it. You can read it off your screen, mate. All right then, mate. All right, you are. Yeah, to be fair. You've got to be more reasonable than that. Rock, paper, scissors. I've just forwarded you the email about the YouTube channel if you want it.
You can read it off your screen, mate.
All right then, mate.
All right, got it.
Oh, yes, here we are.
Yes, thank you.
Hello to Mark.
Mark at Mark's.
This is something I'm actually aware of,
but it's worth checking out if you can.
When I saw this email come in,
my first instinct, honestly,
was Pete would have already seen this.
I've already watched about 20 episodes of this.
Every time there's a new one, I can't help but
watch it. I know how he does it. I know
how it ends, but he just does a
wonderful job. Yeah, this is from
Mark Evening Chaps. Yes, it is past midnight
and I have followed down a YouTube black
hole, but I couldn't resist the chance to share
this little diamond with you. It was
sent only 12 minutes past midnight, so don't
worry about it, mate. Of course, this exceptionally
long YouTube video... Pete's dad's just getting up at that point. mate. Of course, this exceptionally long YouTube video... Pete's dad's just getting up at that point.
Exactly.
Of course, this exceptionally long YouTube video
has absolutely no audio content,
rendering it useless for your podcast.
But let's be frank,
judging by some of the other content
that's made it this far,
it would still probably rank fairly high.
It's a real dig, that.
This wonderful clip is from a YouTuber
called Kiwami Japan,
a man who has an unhealthy appetite for knives.
This clip I have shared with you here is one of a series of non-metallic knives
that Kiwami Japan actually makes.
This one is made from pasta.
Now, I spend a lot of time on YouTube.
This is probably one of my favorite subjects that I've got involved in my brain.
People making knives out of strange things
or just people making knives in general.
The actual process of making a knife is,
it's so old school,
but you can make knives out of pretty much any metal
and the way they do it,
the folding of the steel
and the folding of the bits and pieces,
it's incredible.
Basically, the time and effort he puts into this work
is astounding, says Mark.
His array of kit,
the number of pairs of gloves he has,
that whetstone selection he uses to sharpen the knives.
His other videos include sharpening the dullest of knives into something a samurai would be proud of,
and it's utterly mesmerising to watch.
It's almost ASMR-ish.
This guy doesn't speak.
He basically just starts with a material you wouldn't realise
could be changed into knives, but you can.
He manages to make knives out of things like plastic, like paper,
just compounded wet and then dried paper.
It's incredible.
But Mark is basically focusing on what he makes out of pasta.
After grinding down spaghetti, making a paste with the spaghetti paste,
baking it and then sharpening it up
and proceeding to stab ten bells out of a cardboard box in a plastic bottle,
he does what every self-respecting pasta knife maker does.
He whips up a cheeky three-cheese sauce and cooks the bastard,
presents it on a slate tile and voila, dinner is served.
That's incredible.
It's incredible. It's a wonderful thing to watch.
But my favourite one
I think this guy's ever done
it might be someone else
he got a load of
pants
got a load of underpants
top man pants
cut them up
possibly
cut them up
sliced them up
yeah
and what he does is
he basically
boils them
in a very very hot pan
and then he
flattens them out
and then does it again
and then folds it over and then
flattens it again and again again until he's got this big sausage of um of basically compounded
cotton or polyester and he's got to get there he's got to get the right consistency the right
mix of polyester versus cotton and stuff like this and he bashes it down really tender like
tenderizing and beats it and then dries it out for um so many days and then he's able to cut a knife shape out of shape out of it and then sharpen that knife and then he can
cut um like cucumbers with it and cut like normal food the problem i understand how it's possible
to fashion anything like that into a knife and even make it sharp yeah with that pasta knife
there i mean you're not gonna really cut anything with it it's gonna be too brittle isn't it no i
think if you're careful.
No, because this is compounded.
I've got a ceramic knife, and that should be quite brittle,
but it's really not.
It just loses its dullness quite quickly.
You've got to sharpen it quite a lot.
And there was a fashion, isn't there,
during some organised crime gangs in the US
to make guns out of porcelain.
Guns out of porcelain.
To stop them being picked up.
Wouldn't porcelain be...
I think it is possible.
Because that's what used to be done
to stop them being picked up by metal detectors
in, like, airports and stuff like that.
Well, you can 3D print them, can't you?
Yes, you can.
I'm surprised you haven't got a 3D printer yet.
No, I tried to...
Because you need a 3D modeler to model anything.
I tried to make something in a 3D modeler to model anything, I tried to
make something in a 3D studio. Something
back in the day I was quite
good at. I was quite good at making stuff in 3D
studio and I was quite good at
3D animation. And I dipped a toe
quite recently and I realised I'd lost
all of my skills and it made me a little bit sad.
I studied for like three years doing that
and I got to a certain level where I was like, you know what?
That's pretty decent. I can do animation.
I can rig up a body and, you know, make...
So it's not like riding a bike?
No, I've completely forgotten how to do it all.
Could you just brush up on it, though?
I reckon it would take too long.
Can I tentatively put out there to you and the thousands of people listening
that I don't actually know how 3D printing even works?
I can't really get my mind around how it's a thing.
What do you mean?
I don't know how it would work.
Well, imagine...
Say if you had a tube of toothpaste,
and you got a tube of toothpaste,
now, to the listeners, this probably doesn't make much
sense, but if you started squirting it
at one point, and then started rotating
in a large circle,
the layers of toothpaste
would kind of build up and build up
to a circular wall. I mean, effectively, because it's quite viscous, it would start would kind of build up and build up and build up to a circular wall.
I mean, effectively, because it's quite viscous,
it would start to kind of fall into itself.
But say something like, something hard on that,
maybe putty or clay, and just build it up like that,
that's what a 3D printer does.
But presumably the things they make in the 3D printer
aren't made of clay, they're made of plastic and stuff like that.
Well, yes, it's melted plastic.
So like in the sameD printer aren't made of clay they're made of plastic and stuff like that so like in the same principle
as a glue gun
the glue that goes in is quite brittle
and quite rubbery
and then once you heat it it becomes
pliable and melted
and then it dries back into its original form
but in a new shape that you think, it's basically just like that
imagine like a rotating glue gun or a glue gun
that just does, you know
squirts out where it
needs to in any kind of particular thing what materials can be used in a 3d printer well it
just be like some kind of um thermal plastic i guess did you ever glue your fingers together
with the glue gun oh god yeah yeah we used to throw i used to work in a print finishing factory
building bugle boxes i think i've spoken about this before but uh god i used to abuse myself
with uh with that did your dad have a glue gun in the garage? No, he didn't have one.
He had some special ceramic, not ceramic,
so this metal kind of paste,
these two kinds of moist metals that you had to mix together,
and it would make this beautiful kind of grey metal
that would fix anything.
It was wonderful.
I forget what it was.
It was in a grey tube, it was. One had like,
it was in a grey tube,
sorry,
a grey tub
and a black tub
and you'd mix it together
and it'd make this beautiful
sort of paste
and it would solidify into
like just metal basically.
It was magic.
Here's an impromptu game for you.
Right.
I'll say a sentence
which is,
there has never been a dad born
that doesn't
and you have to put it at the end of it. I'll start off with an example. There has never been a dad born that doesn't and you have to put something
at the end of it i'll start off with an example right there has never been a dad born that doesn't
like to solder did dad do all that solder though there's never been a dad born that doesn't like
pink floyd it's quite a fertile ground because dads essentially are their essence they are all
the same cowboy Cowboy films.
Ah, that doesn't work for my dad.
I don't think he likes them.
No?
No, I don't think so.
Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton.
No, Clapton, really?
Every dad loves Clapton.
Do they?
Yeah.
I'm trying to think.
I mean, Pink Floyd's big, isn't he?
By dad, I mean dad over the age of like 55 or something.
Because if I've got mates who are dads,
he'd probably don't like Eric Clapton.
Usually.
What about this
email from Paul in
Dublin?
I've titled this
email, When Phones
and Photos Go
Wrong.
You'll probably have
some contribution to
make on this,
Donaldson, without
question.
Paul says, Hi
guys, I'm a
pharmacist working
in Ireland and I
recently had an
awkward situation
with a patient.
With the meteoric rise of camera phone usage in the last decade,
I often get people asking me to look at photos of their friend's boil,
their kid's rash, all sorts of things like that.
One patient decided to show me a range of photos of her husband's rash
for me to reach a possible diagnosis.
So you imagine you walk into the pharmacy, you want to get something for her,
and you say, look, this is what it is.
She swiped through
numerous photos
but swiped one pic too many
to be instantly presenting me
with a pic of a toilet bowl
with a massive shit in it
yes
we both looked at each other
and instantly and silently agreed
not to mention the pic
I'd just been shown
Paul says
it got me thinking
have you or your listeners
ever been accidentally shown
a camera phone pic and what was the reaction hello at lu luke and peter.com if you want to get
in touch with that he said i really wanted something to contribute to one of my favorite
podcasts so thanks if you read it out cheers paul in dublin pete this must be so i mean i've got a
folder on my phone just pictures of you because you send constant pictures of yourself doing a
ridiculous amount of silly things.
Yeah, but it's not like me looking sexy or anything.
It's me looking like an idiot every time.
And I also take a few in the field myself.
Like the time we flew back from somewhere
and your shampoo exploded all into your bag.
That was embarrassing.
But you didn't realise that until we were in the queue
to actually get on the plane.
And so it was literally a scene
where because we were queuing up to get on the plane,
everyone was stood in a line looking at you,
and you were sat on the floor with a shampoo everywhere.
And I've got a couple of pictures of that,
of you looking quite sheepish in my peat folder.
Yeah.
The time when you got completely naked and sat in the studio
and waited for me to notice.
Got a picture of that?
Got a picture of me getting back together.
I'm just literally looking at what I've got in my camera roll.
I mean, presumably, if this happened to...
Say if Paul was your pharmacist.
That's unbelievable.
What do you mean, that's unbelievable?
If Paul was your...
It's a pornographic film called Bad Boys Club.
It's a William Higgins pre-condom classic.
Did you get that from...
That's disgusting.
Did you get that from... Oh, disgusting. Did you get that from...
Oh, what?
Gay men having sex?
Unbelievable.
No, it's disgusting that you walk around with stuff,
pornographic imagery on your phone, Peter.
Why?
It's my phone.
It's my business.
Was it John's mate?
Did you get that from John's mate's porn shed?
It flew over the fence and into my phone.
Did you...
I just wanted to basically say,
if Paul was your pharmacist,
and you're showing him one of your many ailments,
and you scroll through,
I mean, presumably,
some of those could involve a custodial sentence,
couldn't they?
No.
My phone is clean.
Yeah, right.
My phone is clean.
Right, so that's, I think,
just about it for me for the emails,
unless you've got one, Donaldson.
I'm spent.
Let's get out of here, Luke.
If you want to bother us with your emails,
hello at lukapete.com.
And we should say, actually, before we go,
that over the next week or two,
you are going to be in the Far East, aren't you?
Yes.
So we're having to pre-record these shows
because you won't be here.
So do keep an eye on Pete's social media accounts
for stuff he gets up to.
For example, getting run over by a bloke on a moped
who offered you 20 cigarettes to not call the police.
Yeah, I think it was only 10.
I think it was only 10, actually.
10 cigarettes.
And you don't even smoke.
I know.
That's the kind of thing that can happen to Pete Donaldson on his holidays.
So do keep in touch with him, at Pete Donaldson.
