Starting point is 00:00:00 It's 18 years old, Mike Tyson had a 20 inch neck. Here's a man with a 21 inch neck. Luke Moore, how the devil are you? He's getting over that. It's so much bridging. You just do so much bridgingging like bouncing your head on the floor look at that angle it's a big old neck look at it yours is a scrawny little fucker yeah there's no power in mine i'd love to do 10 minutes or so on next so my neck um i remember vividly
Starting point is 00:00:40 at school so i changed schools I went to separate 6th form at 16 so this is 16 and younger so I was probably at 15 my neck was 15 inches right
Starting point is 00:00:52 I was a 14 and a half to 15 inch neck right that's alright isn't it yeah I'm not I don't think you have a particularly large neck
Starting point is 00:01:00 well allow me to finish the story I just literally saw Mike Tyson had a massive neck and I was like, well, I've got to have something for the intro, for crying out loud. I frequently don't. I am going to talk about necks
Starting point is 00:01:11 a little bit more, if you don't mind. I wasn't ascribing a value judgment to that particular fact. I was just giving you a bit of background and a bit of context because I think my neck is now up to about 17 and a half. If you extrapolate that out, in another 25 years, I'll be Mike Tyson neck.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Yeah, okay, fine. And I reckon your neck's about 10 inches. Real pencil neck. The worst pencil neck I've ever seen, right, is the guy in succession who used to play who got who got a lot of stick for for essentially blacking up in short circuit yes he's yeah and and it's not helped by having a very interesting chin yeah his neck is obscene his head is very wide his head is very wide. His head is very wide. It's like Stewie Griffin's head. He's got a very wide, oval-shaped head and pronounced sort of chinny, bum-chin sort of combination.
Starting point is 00:02:13 It's not a million miles away from mine, but yeah, he's got an astonishing head physique. No one says anything about that. I'm someone who's always labelled as being obsessed with head size, which I am to an extent. But that is obscene. I've got this massive turkey wattle here and this double chin going on, and I get that. But no one talks about the other way, the opposite way,
Starting point is 00:02:35 where it's almost like it doesn't look like the neck is capable of holding up the head. No. When I was a younger man i was i was considering like neck tattoos uh which seemed way more extreme than it would nowadays because like every second person's got a neck tattoo certainly here in essex everyone's got sleeves leg sleeves um neck neck tattoos like almost like it almost makes you look like your head's been held up by one of those invisible puppeteers. Yeah, a marionette.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Yeah, exactly. Are you broadly happy with your own neck size, would you say? It's at the end of a very long list of shit things about my body, look. There's no point in, you know. I feel the same. Not about you, sorry. About myself. Why don't I grind a few axes about your body
Starting point is 00:03:31 and you can do the same for me? Yeah, go for it. We'll look after each other like that, yeah? I've got a big old pair of titties these days. Yeah, but you can't see them. You can't see them. You dress correctly. It's like, yeah, the shirts that keep...
Starting point is 00:03:45 Because now I'm 42, I don't know what happens to my algorithm, but it's very much every advert is just telling me that I'm wearing the wrong size of T-shirt, which I am. Yeah, I get that as well. Yeah, weird. I get that advert all the time. Yeah, dad bod T-shirts. The algorithms learn things about you, obviously,
Starting point is 00:04:04 and the algorithm stuff i get on say is it instagram you get served like the adverts on i think it probably is instagram i get um like basically videos of attractive women doing weird dances yeah i get um meat being grilled on a grill i get um aspirational houses in my feed, and I get a lot of adverts about certain 15-minute workouts that will lose my belly fat, which they won't, by the way, and T-shirts. You're wearing the wrong T-shirt all your life,
Starting point is 00:04:38 and it really reminds me of the Tugger T-shirt from, I think you should leave. TC Tugger, yeah. It's not for stag news. It's not a joke. I don't believe that in, and I can see why perhaps American people would believe this because their culture is slightly different,
Starting point is 00:04:55 but I don't believe that Britain, for all its history and all its tailoring, has really overlooked a way of making a t-shirt that no one else has discovered before. It doesn't seem that likely that like, oh, do you know what? All along we were doing t-shirts wrong. It doesn't seem that likely to me. So it's kind of
Starting point is 00:05:16 confusing as to why. And also they're really expensive. It's like, why would you fucking buy them? The reason I don't look that good in a t-shirt is because I'm about two and a half stone overweight. That's the end of it. Do you know what I mean? There's no t-shirt is because i'm about two and a half stone overweight that's the end of it you know i mean there's no t-shirt exists that's going to sort me out a lot a lot of gyms they just seem to sell tell me a lot of gym stuff i don't know what i've been looking at on instagram but it's just a lot of blocks just power lifters and stuff like showing off their bodies it's very bizarre yeah I saw a good video the other day of a guy who's obviously some kind of power lifter
Starting point is 00:05:46 dressed in a disguise of a cleaner and waiting around the biggest guy in the gym who was deadlifting this massive fucking weight with his pal. It was obviously spotting him and saying to the guy, can I clean around here? I just need to clean. The guy's like, oh yeah, I'll be finished in a minute.
Starting point is 00:06:03 He seemed like a nice fellow, but he was just massive and um so when he finished his um his set he went and stood at the side with his protein drink or whatever it was talking to his mate and the guy who was the cleaner who was obviously this power lifter under this overalls just lift moves out the way so the guy was really struggling to lift it and this cleaner just moves out the way just cleaning and puts it back again and walks off and they're both like what the fuck is going on it was actually very entertaining Peter
Starting point is 00:06:27 and that kind of stuff is what I want to see in my feed I like it when they get a really good basketball player or skateboarder
Starting point is 00:06:36 and they put and they put well Uncle Drew they put a really shit old man mask on them Uncle Drew's
Starting point is 00:06:44 the classic. They always look shit. They always look absolute shit. They never look like old people. Uncle Drew was the first to do it, mate. Sonny, I'm just down on Muscle Beach. Oh, Sonny, what do you do down here then? Oh, let me have a go.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Oh, I'm really good at it. Fucking villains. I don't see how you can see Uncle Drew and think it's not good. Uncle Drew. Is that the main guy who does it? He was the one who first did it, I think. Give me the rock. Oh, did you hear what that guy said?
Starting point is 00:07:12 He said, give me the rock. Give me the rock. I want to throw it in the basket. Rubbish. Absolute rubbish. How are you not entertained by that? How are you not entertained by this? It's so silly.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah, but if they did it right, the problem is you can't... How would you do it? The problem is, in films, right, you can use special effects and makeup and all of the other stuff to make Brendan Fraser look like a big fatty boom bag, right? But if you have that same makeup and you put him, somebody who's dressed as an old man, and you put him on Muscle Beach
Starting point is 00:07:43 with all of the caustic reflection rays and stuff like that, he's going to look like he's made of plastic. Like, it's just impossible to get right in those lighting conditions and make it look good. And so people are just like, I know that's not an old man under there. He's not even walking like an old man.
Starting point is 00:08:00 He's pretending that he can't walk properly, but he can. But is it not that when Uncle Drew, I think it's Kyrie, is it Kyrie Irving? I can't remember. Whoever it was who was Uncle Drew, I think it was for a Pepsi commercial, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:08:16 No one was expecting it, Pete. So it's just basically a bloke in a tracksuit, so you couldn't see what his body physique was like, with quite a good fake beard on and some wrinkles that's all it was it wasn't like they were and then because no one was expecting it and because the majority of the people who were looking at him were looking at him from a distance they just thought oh this is fucking good and it became pretty quick after pretty obvious after
Starting point is 00:08:37 about five seconds ten seconds that he was properly like a brilliant basketball player and then and then people just came down just to watch him dunk on all the other players, didn't they? That's the only reason that it was popular. People weren't going, this 6'10 old man who appears to be 80 years old can leap three feet in the air. Isn't this an amazing phenomenon? They're going, oh, that's a bloke dressed as an old guy who's a brilliant basketball player.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I bet he's famous. Let's wait around to see who he is. Maybe I've just seen too many copies of uncle drew maybe i've just watched too many i yeah i've only told you before my favorite um subject in my favorite um tiktok whatever it is prank thing i hate all pranks it's all shit but i do like the the the young lads who go up to old men in sporting goods stores or in DIY stores and goes, ooh, pappy, in their ears, and then the blokes get them in a headlock. I love men of a certain age
Starting point is 00:09:36 getting their sexuality kind of questioned and them panicking and them just going into full-on, I'm going to get you in a headlock, mate. Ooh, pappy oh i'm gonna go kill you and they're so threatened they're so threatened by it it's brilliant i love it when was the last time you were put in a headlock doesn't happen anymore does it doesn't happen yet rarely rarely rarely uh headlocks used to be all the rage back in the day is it just because we're older now i think wrestling has moved on so i I think that's why it's... Oh, did you see Bad Bunny? Fuck me.
Starting point is 00:10:05 No. Bad Bunny sort of led the WWE into doing a Puerto Rico show. And I'm big on Bad Bunny because I watched Bullet Train last night, which is an enjoyable piece of shit, but a piece of shit nonetheless. But Bad Bunny's in that.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I don't think... Me and Vish were talking about this on the road. These rappers who will turn up on other people's songs, like, in, you know, American, kind of, like, English first language kind of music. And Bad Bunny's a bad example, but, like, these rappers will just be, like, they'll just have a few lines in the song.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And then you'll go on their Instagram and they've got 14 million followers. Yeah. And it's insane how skewed towards the english language uh uh pop music is you're bad bunny like he sold out like put like the biggest stadium puerto rico for like five days in a row and he just kept on putting on shows he could have done it for a month he was like there was there was so bad bunny's an interesting one because when i looked him up a while back and at the risk of sounding like the oldest man in the world i didn't really know who he was and then i saw that he's like a rapper a wrestler an actor
Starting point is 00:11:11 a producer he does loads of stuff right and you're right to say that the the cult the tipping of the balance for western people is you start to completely embrace western culture and that's it i suppose yeah it's a general rule. Similar thing happened. Did you see where that Bollywood actor was at the Arsenal game? Right, okay. And they interviewed him after the game. Dave Jones and whoever it was
Starting point is 00:11:33 presenting the program interviewed him after the game. He seemed like a really nice guy. Very handsome kind of indie actor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'd never heard of him before, obviously, because I don't really watch Bollywood movies unless contractually mandated to do so
Starting point is 00:11:44 by you during covid and um and i looked him up 40 million instagram followers yeah it's mad isn't it yeah and these guys would couldn't even think about observing a street from a window like it's just yeah not doable but in south london he could probably walk i mean maybe not south but in certain parts of the uk you can walk down street and no one know who he was. It's quite heartening to sort of see these guys who, it's sort of fun to see bands, I would sort of use the example of Ed Sheeran
Starting point is 00:12:15 just went on a trip across Japan about 10 years ago. And he's probably one of the biggest stars in the world and probably was seven years ago, actually, in fact. And he was just able to sort of just stroll around and stuff and there are so few places that they can stroll around but i imagine if you're a bollywood star you can kind of stroll around without without being i remember like miyavi the japanese uh guitarist like big star like about as big as it gets when it comes to Jay Rock. And then he's just allowed, he can just walk around LA and nobody knows who he is.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Nobody seems to care. And it's, it must be so freeing for people. LA's known for though, isn't it? That's why a lot of people like being in Hollywood and stuff. Because it's like,
Starting point is 00:12:57 the culture is to not hassle people. Like it's just part of it. Is it though? Or is it, I think it is the culture to hassle people, but there's just so many options. You just get bored of hassling, wouldn't you't you well the outcome's the same then isn't it
Starting point is 00:13:08 i guess so yeah yeah i guess what are we gonna say about bad bunny in the wrestling i would just say he's uh he obviously uh brought the wwe down to puerto rico for a show and uh his entrance is really good some great drone work i think it's a drone i think it's a drone might be wires i don't know but it's it's worth a watch, his intro. He's absolutely massive. He looks great. I forgot to say, you just reminded me that after you mentioned him a while back, I watched a clip of Logan Paul wrestling on YouTube. Yes, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Fucking hell, he's amazing. Yeah, he's really good, isn't he? I'm just thinking he's got no right to be that good. He looks like he's been doing it all his life. I mean, obviously, if you are in that position, you are a person who would be blocking out everything, you know, planning the moves and stuff. But he's still better than most of the wrestlers on the deck.
Starting point is 00:13:57 A lot of high-risk manoeuvres as well. Yeah, exactly. I mean, he's really putting his body through it. So, you know, they're certainly getting their pound of flesh uh him being a bit of a high flyer and stuff but yeah i mean it's just astonishing and like as a as an old footy diddy and and a person who's adopted wrestling quite late anyway i'm sort of looking at it and sort of going well that must be quite annoying because like you're told constantly that if you haven't done your doggies if you haven't like wrestled in your your your your south america your central america if you haven't done your doggies if you haven't like wrestled in your your your
Starting point is 00:14:26 your south america your central america if you've not uh wrestled in europe if you're not wrestled in japan and then and you shouldn't be on wrestlemania you shouldn't be doing this stuff because you're not good enough because you you don't have the ring smart you can't put together a show and build it and make it look dramatic and stuff. You can't build a show proper. You can't build a match. But he's just come in. And obviously, that match-building stuff, he doesn't really do
Starting point is 00:14:52 because it's all kind of planned out for him. But fuck me. Like, he's brilliant. And he's such a good heel. And he's such a shitbag. And his facials are good. He's just fucking brilliant. And he looks the part as well.
Starting point is 00:15:04 He does look the part. I think he had a reasonably impressive high school football career, I think. Oh yeah, he was a big muscle guy, wasn't he? He got injured and obviously did a bit of boxing with the whole YouTube boxing thing as well. And that's interesting you make that point about doing the hard yards kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Because that kind of applies to a lot of different entertainment disciplines right so i've got a couple of friends who are yeah reasonably successful in in theater right so they're if they're not doing some kind of west end thing they'll be doing a traveling theater um production and they're talented right so they act and they sing and they dance and they've spent years and years doing that but what tends what can happen and what has happened to a friend of mine a couple of times now is that they'll be up for a big role and it'll be you know a lead role in a big household name west end musical or whatever and they'll miss out because fucking chris moyles wants to do it
Starting point is 00:16:03 or right yeah um you know some some big name who wants to do it. Right, yeah, yeah. You know, some big name who wants to dip their toe in. And then the production companies, I suppose, are seduced by the idea that actually, if there's a big name to put on the poster, it means more people are going to go. And you can absolutely, and so it's frustrating. And I totally am sympathetic to it.
Starting point is 00:16:24 But it's absolutely obvious why they want Logan Paul to do stuff, because he's got about fucking 40 million YouTube subscribers. And to a younger generation, he's one of the most famous people in the world. So the fact that he wants to do WWE is a massive godsend to them. Massively, yeah. And pound for pound, they're probably getting him cheaper. You know, a couple of million probably is better money. I mean, if you're going to spend money, why would you spend it on, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:16:47 Rey Mysterio over him? I mean, I love Rey Mysterio and he's so important. He's been there for a million years. But he's not going to be as big a draw as Logan Paul for new viewers. And it's sad and it's annoying and it's upsetting. But as a business, you've got to look to that sort of thing. And that's why next week
Starting point is 00:17:05 Chris Miles is doing this show instead of me but if we had an opportunity to make a podcast with someone really famous we wouldn't be like oh you've not done you've not done
Starting point is 00:17:13 any hospital radio we wouldn't say that we'd say okay can they do it and is it going to be good and is the idea good and all the rest of it and we would probably
Starting point is 00:17:22 work with them for all the obvious reasons that you know that's just what life is like. If people are successful or famous or whatever, they're generally, despite people wanting to be bitter about it,
Starting point is 00:17:31 they're generally successful and famous for a reason, right? Yeah. Like there was, when Jake Paul, obviously Logan Paul's brother, fought Tommy Fury, Logan Paul was at ringside and he basically was interviewed between rounds and stuff and he and he was completely in WWE mode like I don't know how much boxing you watch but
Starting point is 00:17:53 like there'll be famous other boxers at Ringside watching the fights and they'll interview them and they'll just be like boxers right they'll be like well you know what he needs to do is needs to you know he needs to lean into his punches a bit more he needs to get on the end of his jab all that boring technical shit when they came to Logan Paul he just stood up
Starting point is 00:18:10 grabbed the microphone and screamed the whole Fury family a bitch like that and it was like it was like that's what he's doing
Starting point is 00:18:17 that's what he's all about and so that's why people want it I suppose I mean I suppose there's boxing purists out there who go to York Hall
Starting point is 00:18:23 you know Bethnal Green every week probably disgusted by it because they think boxing is the sweet science and all the rest mean I suppose there's boxing purists out there who go to York Hall you know Beth and the Green every week probably disgusted by it because they think boxing is the sweet science and all the rest of it
Starting point is 00:18:29 and there's a place for them as well but the whole world is entertainment these days and that's just how it is I'm very much enjoying the idea of the term
Starting point is 00:18:37 sweet science that's what they call it it's delicious what a delicious term boxing is the sweet science the sweet science you've never heard that before honestly
Starting point is 00:18:44 no I've never heard that before there honestly. No, never heard that before. There you go. You've learned something today, Peter. Sounds dirty. That was a bit dirty. It does sound a bit dirty. We started off the half talking about boxers, and then we're ending the half talking about boxers.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Let's have a break, and when we come back, we'll do some more of this. All right, then. We're back with Luke and Pete's show. Pete and Luke doing what we do best. I'm going to talk about my car wars next week, on this Thursday rather. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:11 But before, I think we should get to a couple of emails if that's all right with you, Lukey. We can get to a couple of emails, and I've got one lined up here. But before we get to one, I just want to say one thing before I forget. I was out for a walk in Dulwich Park the weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Which is, I mean, there's probably three or four parks near where I live, and this would be the one in the nice part of town. People who know London will know Dulwich is very salubrious, and it's basically for rich people, but the park is really nice, and obviously they don't quite stop poor people like me going there yet, although that kind of thing is probably on its way. Anyway, you'll like this peter so my wife and i the wife i have access to and i were walking through the park and we saw these kids and they're kicking a football around and um it's just a general
Starting point is 00:19:58 kind of school boy scene they're 10 years old there's about three or four of them and um they look like quite posh kids but you can't blame kids for being posh right they're 10 years old there's about three or four of them and um they look like quite posh kids but you can't blame kids for being posh right they're just kids yeah and uh but once they take their pocket money well you say that one thing i did here as one of the two of them ran across to get the ball from where we were walking one of them said to the other one what did you do yesterday and uh the other one went, well, guess what? We were in the Maserati garage and we saw Patrice Efra.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And I was like, yeah, that wasn't really my childhood when I was 10. No, he's just eating a big raw chicken. Pooping all over a Maserati. Yeah, I mean, yeah, different world. But guaranteed, like, that parent will have grown up working class, innit?
Starting point is 00:20:47 It's always those fun... Like, I just always like seeing those kind of... Those blowhards. You know all Gallaghers of this world who have... Of this world. ..made a good go of it, and now they've got posh southern kids in their lives. And they're just like,
Starting point is 00:21:04 I can't really... I'll spend all of my life whinging got posh southern kids in their lives. And they're just like, I can't really... I spent all of my life whinging about posh people and people from the south and now they're literally in my house and they all support West Ham. You know what I mean? It's funny. They all support Man City.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Man City, right, yeah. I mean, none of the Gallaghers support Man City anyway, so it's a pretty poor example. But they all support Man City or Chelsea or whatever. Yeah, it's a pretty poor example but like they all they all support like man city or chelsea or whatever yeah it's a shame um yeah i think i think there's also a bit of a bone of contention um when the wife i have access to and i have kids that are any kids that we have will have english accents right yes yes yes yes yes and i think that's going to be a bit of a not a barrier but i um you know just like a kind of shame. It's good because, like, my mate Tony, who really values his Englishness and it's, you know, it's one of his...
Starting point is 00:21:55 Is he a racist? Sick head. Is he a racist? No, he's not a racist. But that does sound like a bit of a metaphor. When he went to Cambridge, he valued his northernness and saw himself as a bit of rough when he just wasn't. And when he was in Hartlepool,
Starting point is 00:22:09 he valued his good upbringing and his book smarts. And all of these... So he always sort of saw himself as a bit of a fish out of water. Now he's in America, he sort of values his... I get the sense that he values his Englishness. And his daughter has daughter is like got the glorious thickest brooklyn kind of like excellent like a new york excellent uncle uncle new york accent uncle peter uncle peter i'm like wow this kid's proper new york i love it um speaking of
Starting point is 00:22:43 that did you see um or hear bernie sanders on the news agents podcast no no i didn't it was remarkable he's obviously quite an old man now yeah um but he was running rings around them was he right and every time they tried to like anytime any of the presenters tried to like pin him down yeah he would just he would just pause be completely silent and just go hang on hang on and then just carry on
Starting point is 00:23:07 making like another point and they couldn't get near him I remember thinking to myself when I was listening to it imagine what he was like when he was 40 because he's like 80 now and he's still really sharp
Starting point is 00:23:18 but that's what gets you isn't it it's like kind of he's been in that system he's been in the political system for such a long time it's just to stay on that fucking buckaroo like to stay on that fucking buckaroo,
Starting point is 00:23:26 to stay on that fucking fucking broncor for that length of time. We see these politicians being old fuddy-duddies, but fuck me, sharp as fucking tacks. I love it. Like Ken Clarke. Like Ken Clarke, yeah. I don't know what he's like now,
Starting point is 00:23:42 but up until very recently, maybe it's been his 80s, but up until very recently, I mean, it's been his 80s now. Up until very recently, he was just so high on the hog, so confident. You can't touch him. You can't get anywhere near him. It's funny. Anyway, let's do an email. And I've actually got a bit of an embarrassment for me to bring this back
Starting point is 00:24:02 to the table, but I'm going to have to, I'm afraid, because we have a lot of emails about this. And the one we've selected is from our friend Dan, who says, Hi, guys. Listening to today's show on the 4th of May, Luke mentioned that McDonald's have famously never sold onion rings. Without wanting to sound pedantic and failing,
Starting point is 00:24:20 they have, in fact, sold onion rings as a side in a few countries, including the UK. Around 2011-12, they were of the battered rather than breaded variety and even came with a sweet chilli dip that lives on in their menu today. Surprisingly delightful and a comeback is
Starting point is 00:24:37 both welcome and needed in my humble opinion. Love to the show and love to the family. Dan aged 36 and 11 months. I'm ashamed of myself to be honest when you see the when you get um when you sort of make a statement and however sweeping or non-sweeping it is um and then in the very next show there's a picture of the thing you said that doesn't exist i mean it's it's it's as delicious as the onion rings, in my opinion. Especially given that I think of that as one of my specialist subjects. And I'm always certain, the way I broadcast,
Starting point is 00:25:11 I always feel like I'm being really certain. Yeah. And so it makes it worse. You'll always hedge. I'll never hedge. It does look nice. I mean, they do look nice, but I bet the batter's really crispy and aggressive.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I do love an onion ring, I have to be honest. And I also definitely prefer a battered onion ring to a breaded one. Yes. Though I like a breaded calamari ring over a battered one. I don't think I've ever had one of those. There you go. Where are you getting them? A calamari ring.
Starting point is 00:25:41 You've never had a calamari ring? Of course, I love calamari, but I've never had them breaded. Yeah, well. They're breaded better but I've never had them breaded yeah well they're breaded better aren't they truly breaded are better like a kind of nice flowery
Starting point is 00:25:50 breaded not too heavily battered kind of oh lovely old job lovely old job I love a calamari me love a calamari absolutely love it
Starting point is 00:25:59 and then finally for now I'll do this email before we go which is from Adam who says hi guys it's me from the early laps days, way back in 2019,
Starting point is 00:26:07 with the tales of the cannibal serial killer and my flatmate's tea towels once being used as nappies. Don't remember either of those stories, but they sound amazing. And I'm pretty sure Pete doesn't either. I just wanted to check in and let you know that I felt very seen by your comments about Don Draper on a recent episode. Since I embarrassed my friend with the nappy story it's probably only fair i embarrass myself by telling you that i did exactly what you described namely bought an expensive whiskey
Starting point is 00:26:36 glass to drink while watching mad men showed my barber a picture of john ham and said please make me look like this and then asked for reassurance from my friends that I'm cool. I won't mention their answer. Keep up the great work, Adam. And that's something that we talked about when it's like, whether it's Peaky Blinders or Mad Men or whatever. The guy, famously Ryan Gosling's character in the film Drive. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Why are men like this? Getting a little scorpion jacket. Yeah. Like scorpion puffer jacket. I think, yeah, I wouldn't say that John Hamm, I like this. Getting a little scorpion jacket. Yeah. Like scorpion puffer jacket. I think, yeah, I wouldn't say that John Hamm, did he have iconic hair? It's just old hair, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:27:14 Nothing particularly iconic about it. I think it's just the fact that he's John Hamm, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, being John Hamm does a lot of heavy lifting. What I like about John Hamm is that, and I think I mentioned it before, he's got quite gloriously stringy arms and for hollywood he's got quite a rare physique in that i don't think he spends a lot of time uh on his physique and he wears a lot of shirts on it's like it's just a really uh it gives me a bit of hope for the future of hollywood really because he's fucking good
Starting point is 00:27:43 he's fucking funny and he doesn't feel the need to get absolutely ripped for everything he fucking does. And somebody said that, like, it's so good that in the middle of Mad Men, which actually, in his contract, he couldn't do any other shows or any other films, I think, it's a good thing that he didn't get picked up as Batman because we would have had, like, Don Draper with abs and big muscles and stuff,
Starting point is 00:28:05 because that's just what you have to look like as a superhero. And I remember watching Top Gun with those, where he's got those quite, like, non-folded-up, kind of, like, long-sleeve, short-sleeved shirts, like brown naval shirts or whatever. In the new Top Gun, you mean? Yeah, he's got quite stringy arms arms and I'm like, good, good, finally,
Starting point is 00:28:25 a man who doesn't feel and be absolutely roided up his fucking tits all the time. I like it. I don't think they're on roids, Pete.
Starting point is 00:28:34 They're all on roids. Everyone's on roids. Everyone in Hollywood's on roids. Everyone. You're sticking with that, are you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I mean, I'm not saying everyone, I'm not saying who I'm talking about, but every single last person who's got abs and big muscles are on roids, they're on Tren, they're on all that fucking shit, because it's non-negotiable.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Everyone has to be on those fucking drugs to get to where you are. What are your sources for this? Like, literally everyone. There's a guy called No Place for Dicks. Everyone has to be on drugs to get to where they are. Watch the YouTuber No Place for Dicks. He basically goes through, I mean, I don't know how he gets away with it. I'm not sure how you're getting away with it.
Starting point is 00:29:11 He goes through all of the Hollywood physiques and sort of going, Tren, Tren, steroids, steroids, growth hormones, all this stuff. Like, it's a non-negotiable. Every single person you've ever seen has sort of gone, he looks good, he's on fucking drugs like they're all of them all of them you get animated
Starting point is 00:29:27 about such weird stuff every last one of them because I'm feeling the pressure quite frankly Luke as as Leon C's
Starting point is 00:29:36 most premier podcaster I'm feeling the pressure mate I'm feeling the pressure the pod king the pod father of Leon C the pod king yeah the liver king pod king
Starting point is 00:29:44 um you oh liver king got liver king has admitted it so you can. The pod king, yeah. The liver king pod king. Liver king has admitted it, so you can say what you want about that. Exactly, yeah. Say what you want about him, yeah. Did he admit it or did he get caught with his hands in the tin till? Well, Joe Rogan was rinsing him for months, wasn't he? Now, that's not a place you want to be because Joe Rogan's audience is so big.
Starting point is 00:29:59 He was interviewing the no plates, no dates guy. That's why they were talking about him. Oh, it's the same guy, is it? He's the exposee guy. Yeah, he exposes all of the physiques, all dates guy. That's why they were talking about it. Oh, it's the same guy, is it? He's the expose-y guy. Yeah, he exposes all of the physiques, all of the Hollywood physiques. I perhaps rather naively thought that built into the production process,
Starting point is 00:30:14 once they cast someone, they gave them a personal trainer and all the rest of it, and they got like six months to get into shape, basically. Six months. I mean, you can't build a physique like that in six months. You just can't. And the tellers. Hang on a minute.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Why are you talking like one of them? The tellers are always these guys. Why are you talking like one of them? Always the fat necks. Always the big, whatever they're called, the traps or whatever. I told you I've got a fat neck. It's always that. If you see a bloke with big old, big old, anybody who fucking lifts, right?

Anyone who's got those big old fucking traps, they're always juicing. They're always juicing, I tell you. Get in touch. Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com. Expose, we can do it as anonymously as you like.
Starting point is 00:30:59 It's the truth. Can I ask perhaps another naive question, because this isn't really my area of expertise at all. Is it illegal? What do you mean, is it illegal? For them to do it, is it illegal? I think a doctor has a lot of freedom to prescribe what they want, and that's why we're in the fucking shit hole.
Starting point is 00:31:19 That's why the Americans are in so much trouble when it comes to the diazepam kind of crisis. The opioid crisis. Is that why you started calling yourself Dr. Pete Donaldson? Yeah, there's a lot of Dr. Pete Donaldson Riviera's out there, that's all I'm saying. Alright, well listen on that legal minefield
Starting point is 00:31:37 It's not a minefield, it's fine. It's fine. I can just imagine the court transcript, and then Mr. Donaldson loudly exclaimed, it's not a minefield it's fine, it's fine. I can just imagine the court transcript. And then Mr. Donaldson loudly exclaimed, it's not a minefield. It's fine. It's fine. All right.
