It's the local peach show
It's a Monday
And it is the 27th of February
Which is a date that really sticks in my head
But not very well
Because I don't know what it pertains to
It's not your birthday is it?
Nah
It's my dad's birthday on the 30th.
70!
Wow!
70.
Great.
Refuses to celebrate it.
So you're not going to do anything to mark it?
Nope.
Send him a fancy rat?
I was going to turn up.
I'm just going to drive up.
I said, look, why don't we book a little Airbnb in York?
Just jump in a taxi.
Yeah.
Get down.
We'll just stay in the Airbnb for the weekend.
And we'll celebrate my dad's 70th
but he's
he gave that idea
short shrift
so now I've got to drive
fucking five hours
instead of meeting us halfway
is York halfway?
no
even then
I was driving for four hours
what was the reason
for him not wanting to celebrate?
because he's a bellend
is your mum
is your mum
do we detect your mum's doing
in all this?
she doesn't want to do anything
I'll do something
no I think he used to make her do stuff
but
yeah it's just a bit of a
they just don't do anything
I'm sure other people out there have the same sort of situation
the more I go on
the more I feel
really fortunate to have my parents
because they're quite sensible, quite liberal
they like doing stuff, they go on holiday
I'm going down to go for lunch with them later this week really fortunate to have my parents because they're quite sensible, quite liberal. They like doing stuff. They go on holiday.
Like, I'm going down to go for lunch with them
later this week.
And they're up for it.
They'll book it.
They're like, yeah, we'll go here.
It'll be great.
And they do theatre stuff.
They didn't vote for Brexit.
It's good.
Good stuff.
Yeah.
I'm going to see,
I'm going to the theatre
tomorrow evening.
Are you really?
I'm going to go and see
the meatloaf
battle of hell.
You're being
serious?
Who are you
going with?
Who am I going
with?
Sarah.
Why are you
going?
She's got free
tickets.
I'll get better
out of here.
I'll be gone
in the morning.
That's better
there than what
it will be like.
I don't know
what.
I mean,
I can't believe.
I don't want to be
rude, but if someone offered me free tickets,
I would say no.
Yeah, but I'll go and it'll be brilliant.
You know what these things are like.
We get sniffy about them and we go, it's like, no, it's fucking brilliant.
You're right.
Guaranteed it'll be brilliant.
The people who.
But right now I'm going.
Why are we doing this?
Why are we doing this?
The people who perform on the West End stage are, without question and without exception, incredible.
They're so talented.
And sometimes in this kind of job, we go up on stage and we do what we do.
And sometimes we go and do these kind of shows and people like the shows and they're popular.
And you start to seduce yourself sometimes to think you're quite talented.
Then you go and watch that and you go, fucking hell.
We try to block out
a song that had
three
four verses in it
me you
Marcus and Jim
and Jim fucked that up
in Leeds
I didn't
it was actually Sheffield
Sheffield
yeah
I fucked that
story up didn't I
I never fucked up
I never
I never fucked up mate
the only regret
I never fucked up then
fine
no you didn't you didn't the only regret about never fucked up then fine no you didn't
you didn't
the only regret
about that tour
is you not let me be
in that vape shop
in Northampton
I was talking about coils
and you dragged me
out of there
you and your coils
anyway
it's the Luke and Pete show
there's only one place
to start
actually no
there isn't only one place
to start
the main event
we're going to come on to
in a second
but before we do that
eagle eared listeners
eagle eared
wolf eared listeners if eagle-eared?
Wolf-eared listeners, if you like.
Are eagles like wolves?
Because you see their optic nerve if you look through their ear.
Can you?
You certainly can with owls.
Sorry, not wolves, owls.
Fucking, why do you make it so hard for me?
Well, why would I compare an eagle to a wolf?
You just did.
You couldn't remember the day with the sickness of that stern. That was embarrassing.
Last week.
I'm pleased.
I'm actually quite gutted that wasn't edited out
because that's not really good for my personal brand.
But anyway, we are going to come to the main event in a minute.
But eagle-eared, wolf-eared, whatever-eared,
cat-eared listeners will remember.
Dog-eared.
Dog-eared.
There you go, dog-eared.
I'm a dog-eared listener.
Yeah.
We'll remember that last week,
Peter made a remarkable claim on the show
as it pertained
to his dog and not eating chocolate
that it was difficult to take his dog for
a walk around Easter
because you quote, always find
chocolate in the street. Always chocolate
in the street. I never thought
that was a thing. Yeah.
We put a poll out on the
Luke and Pete Show Twitter account, at Luke and Pete
Show, saying, is Pete right?
And you'll be pleased to know, Peter, the options were yes, Pete's right,
and no, Pete's mad again.
Right.
How many percentage vote do you reckon, no, Pete's not right, he's mad again, got?
I reckon I'm 60% right.
Okay, you're 16% right.
Am I?
83% of people said you're mad. They never see're 16% right. Am I? 83% of people
said you're mad you never see chocolate in the street.
They're not looking down
close enough. I think we should get people to
we should brief people now
when Easter comes around, look more
closely at the street. And you will see
and then we'll run another poll. More chocky at your feet.
Do you remember when you said that you trusted the street?
I trusted the street, yeah. Do our listeners know
that story? Possibly. I you said that you trusted the street? I trusted the street, yeah. Do our listeners know that story?
Possibly.
I just said that I would...
Were we talking about legal highs?
I think we were talking about herbal highs or something.
You're not going to tell it right,
because the way you told it was so funny.
Right.
We were in Naples, and we were out on the piss,
and we were talking about the propensity for young people these days to take legal highs.
Yeah.
And I was being belligerent on purpose,
saying, oh, the youth of today,
you know, haven't even got the nuts
to have a proper illegal drug,
et cetera, et cetera,
as a joke,
which all the young people around me
thought was very boring, I'm sure.
And then you said,
in quite a whimsical way,
looking out the window of a taxi,
right,
why would you trust
the pharmaceutical industry anyway?
I trust the street.
I do.
I've always said that. And it was so good. Everyone just thought it was so good. On trust the street. I do. I've always said that.
It was so good.
Everyone just thought
it was so good.
On me lime bike.
Yeah.
It was brilliant, man.
Do you still trust the street?
I still trust the street.
Not when there's chocolate on it.
Not with the influx of fentanyl.
No, exactly.
That's not a problem
in the UK though, is it?
I don't know.
I thought it was more
of a US thing, wasn't it?
Yeah, probably.
Big country, isn't it?
Big opioid crisis.
It's a big country.
Big opioid crisis. Anyway, so big country. Big opioid crisis.
Anyway, so that was the intro.
That was the flim-flam.
That was the Twitter poll.
That was the flotsam
and jetsam
of the conversational tide,
if you like.
Do you want me to throw
a little something in there
for two minutes?
Go for it.
I went to a
passing out parade
of a police dog.
Fucking hell.
For fuck's sake.
Last week.
Last week I went to a passing out parade for a police dog.
First of all, what does that mean?
Police dogs have to be trained.
They pass their training.
They pass their training.
But they get a dedicated day.
And they get a day where the chief inspector comes down and they do a little display.
And a DJ plays some tunes for them. And they just sort of, they do a little display and a DJ plays some tunes
for them and they just sort of
do a passing out parade like Police Academy. That's brilliant.
But do they not have the same day as
the actual police officers? They have their own day?
They have their own day for the dogs. How many dogs?
I think there's six dogs
passing out. That's brilliant.
There's one dog that was being real naughty.
That's brilliant. So they'll have
like
men running
around with those
bits of carpet
around their arms
and the dogs
will jump up
and grab them
yeah that's great
there was one man
who ran around
dressed as spider man
which I don't think
was really part of it
to be honest
I think he was just
trying to entertain
the kids who were
down there
one man with a gun
waving a gun around
shooting it
bang bang bang
in the air
and the dog
takes him down how does the dog takes him down.
How does the dog take him down?
Just by calling for his arm.
Fuck, that's so cool.
Always the arm.
There was an Alan Partridge montage
on one of his shows about that,
and it was really good.
Good stuff.
But yeah,
they did the passing out parade.
Sarah is a patron of that charity,
and she tweets about it
and Instagrams about it and stuff.
But we had met this dog a few times.
She named one of the dogs.
Oh, right.
What did she name him?
A TV presenter who does history stuff.
I don't really recognise him.
Another person who does Formula One.
Another person also does Formula One.
And another person who does...
Oh, it's Q out of James Bond.
Ben Whishaw?
No, who's the other one?
John Cleese?
Who's Q? John Cleese? No. It is John Cleese. Who's the boss of James Bond Ben Whishaw no who's the other one John Cleese who's Q John Cleese
no
who's the boss
who's the boss of
James Bond
Judi Dench
Judi Dench is one of them
M
she's M
M
it's fucking letters isn't it
yeah
fucking
why are you like this
why are you like this
she was there
she wasn't there at the
passing up prayer
but she was there
at the first bit
I thought she was
having trouble with her sight
she was
she's very very doddery
and all now but she seemed pretty nice and she's a d thought she's had trouble with her sight, isn't she? She was. She's very, very doddery and all now,
but she seemed pretty nice.
She's a dame.
She's a dame with a real.
She's a dame.
Yeah, but she named
one of the dogs.
It was a very nice day.
And so now,
a year later,
finished all its training,
it goes out there
and does its thing.
Apparently, City Airport,
I was talking to this guy,
I was basically finding out
how to evade security dogs.
One of the policemen.
It's just for a thing I'm working on.
It's a project I'm working on.
He was saying like,
apparently like,
to be nice to the retired police dogs,
right?
City Airport has started
allowing retired dogs
to have a day at work.
Oh, that's nice.
Because like,
you never forget
what to do when you're a police dog. Yeah, how do you tell them they've retired? Exactly. You can't. And so they have a day at work. Oh, that's nice. Because you never forget what to do when you're a police dog.
Yeah, how do you tell them they've retired?
Exactly.
You can't.
And so they have a nice day.
But I was thinking, but if they've retired and they find something,
is that legally admissible as evidence?
Well, I want pay in.
Exactly.
Because, I mean, they're not necessarily working anymore,
so they're not...
I never really thought about that.
I suppose also...
They'd have to get another dog to check it out,
to make it legally admissible, I reckon.
This is a genuine question.
If you were blind and you had a guide dog, an assistance dog,
and then through some kind of treatment you got your sight back,
what do you then do with the dog?
Because I'm led to believe they're quite...
I'm doing an undertaker.
No, don't.
They're paired with an individual person, right?
Right.
So do they just become their dog?
I don't know.
Oh, I don't know.
Would you give...
You'd have to just keep that dog, wouldn't you?
Those guard dogs are amazing.
And how many people recover their sight?
I don't know.
I'm just asking.
Didn't Mr. Beast give everyone cataract operations?
Did he?
He's an interesting character.
Is it?
Is it?
Is it Donaldson?
Is it?
Yeah.
I think he's a bell.
I think they're all bells.
I think he is the canary in the mine.
He must be gutted.
A fellow Donaldson.
The story you've started off there with
is that he's cured a thousand people's cataracts
and you followed that up by saying you think he's a bellend.
I mean, should a thousand people not have cataract operations in America
for the sake of a thousand? I think it's a thousand people not have cataract operations in America for the sake of a thousand?
I think it's a thousand.
What do you mean?
Well, they couldn't get cataract operations because America and healthcare out there.
Yeah, but he's still unquestionably done a good thing though, isn't he?
Yeah, but isn't it all through a charity and stuff?
Isn't it all like...
People are very cynical about that, aren't they?
Yeah.
So people would say about philanthropists,
Bill Gates had a meeting recently, didn't he? If he's just doing it, but he's getting contact, he's making money out of it, aren't they? So people would say about philanthropists, Bill Gates had a meeting recently, didn't he?
If he's just doing it,
but he's getting contact,
he's making money out of it,
isn't he?
He's making money
out of doing that.
He'll make more money
out of that.
You say that,
but if you think about it,
and I used to go out
with someone who worked
in the charity sector,
and they'd have a lot
of anonymous,
famous people who say,
and she worked
for a cancer charity,
and a lot of famous people
would give their time
or give their money anonymously to this cancer charity.
It's very famous for cancer charities,
Marie Curie Cancer Care.
And what you'd find is that they'd want to do it anonymously
for exactly that reason.
But then what the charity would say was,
and I think fairly, look, it would be fucking great
for the charity and for PR and for awareness
if you'd actually come to this event
and actually talk a bit about it.
And then when they did that, though, the press would hammer them.
Oh, you're not talking about your charity work.
Oh, yeah, fucking put yourself front and centre.
So it's very difficult for them to win.
Would you change the opinion that Mr Beast, Jimmy Donaldson,
would you change your opinion
if you saw the artwork for said video?
I don't have his opinion.
Yeah, that's a bit nasty, isn't it?
Look at him doing a grin next to him.
It's not even a boy who's blind either.
That's ridiculous.
I don't have an opinion on him.
I'm just saying objectively
that's a good thing to do, isn't it?
Bag of wank, isn't it?
No, it is a good thing to do,
but he's got to make money out of it
that actually it's exploitative, isn't it?
So what are you saying he should have done
is just done a thousand anonymously,
never spoke about it again.
Cheers.
I know that's his thing,
and it's all wound up with a charity sort of thing.
It's like paying 25 pence at the SL petrol station
or whatever to offset someone else's tax.
We've talked about this on the show before.
Right.
Well, I was just going to say,
Bill Gates had a little thing.
A little hustle. Convened a lot of people people a lot of wealthy people didn't he saying that
basically convincing them all to give their money away when they die which is obviously a good thing
yeah of course it is but if you're a 40 year old billionaire and you're not going to die for another
probably 50 years at least because you're a billionaire um just pay your taxes now yeah you
pay your taxes now you'll help people right now now i understand that people are going to go yeah
but the UK government
where does all the money go
fucking I have no idea
because I have that question
myself a lot of times
it's fucking ridiculous
nothing works
but the tax system
is therefore a reason
to help people
and it makes you feel better
doesn't it
saying oh
big glossy press release
oh I've decided to give away
90% of my wealth
when I die
great you'll be fucking dead
give it away now
by fucking paying your tax
enjoy it yeah
and that guy who
got invited to Davos,
that Swedish economist,
do you remember him?
So they must have
invited him by accident.
He was this kind of
high tax, culturally
responsible kind of
guy.
That was his thing.
And he was like a
think tank guy,
economist or something.
And he was up on the
panel with all these
famous people, big
people.
I think he might have
even been on the
panel with George
Osborne at the time. He was Chancellor of Exchequer
at Davos. And he popped the
whole thing and said, all you people sitting around there
feeling great about yourselves, big decision makers and stuff,
talking about philanthropy, pay your taxes.
It's the elephant in the room. You're not
paying your taxes. I think Martin Lewis was on a podcast
and he was saying that, Radio Australia, he was saying
like, I can sit,
I don't want to sit here and sort of debate
increasing tax on the wealthy,
but you're not going to be increasing tax on the people who don't pay tax anyway.
You know what I mean?
If you increase tax on me, I'm wealthy, I will pay more tax.
It's the people who don't pay any tax.
I think the people who earn a good but not astronomical amount do shoulder,
I think,
there's like a 10% section in that kind of middle.
They're wealthy people.
I think they shoulder something like 45% of the overall tax burden.
And the people below, it's a lower rate, obviously,
but the people above just pay fuck all.
And the big corporations pay fuck all.
And that's the end of it.
Anyway.
And that's the end of it.
We've got a main event to build up to, Pete.
Let's have a quick break.
We'll do it when we come back.
It's our friend Noah has again sent us another little present.
It's the best bit of the Luke and Pete show of the year so far, I think.
I know we're only in February, but we're cracking on for March, aren't we?
Luke Moore, what's in the box?
Well, Noah, our friend, he's sent us another package.
He's, of course, the guy who sent us the Battery Daddy, which is also here. I cut my finger fucking opening it last time. Carried on doing the box. Well Noah our friend set us another package. He's of course the guy who set us the battery daddy which is also here.
I cut my finger
fucking open it
last time.
Carried on doing
the show.
I didn't know
Pete because I'm
a pro.
Noah sent us
this letter.
He says hey
Luke and Pete.
Glad Pete survived
his holiday quite
literally.
How are you feeling
about that now in a
word or two?
Still not great
about it.
Okay I'll move on.
Hope these drinks
arrived intact so
you lads can flex
on the youth
of the uk it's worth reminding it reminding everyone that or saying certainly for the record
that his rapping uh skills second to none i unwrapped every last one of those on friday
absolutely amazing stuff yeah and then also oh it's to be fair it is addressed to you okay yeah
yeah yeah thank you thought if it's addressed to me, I'd be fuming. And yeah, so basically what happened was a few, maybe a month or two ago, Pete said that
the best thing he would like to do for 2023 is to make Prime, that in-demand energy drink
run by KSI and I'm going to say, is it Logan Paul?
I was getting mixed up.
I think it is Logan Paul.
Yes.
Make it uncool by making it the kind of drink
that people of 40-odd years of age,
like you and I, would drink.
Turn it into a cup of tea.
It's the uncool.
Well, Noah has sent us, along with a crude,
he says, please enjoy this crude sketch of a turtle.
Oi, there's a gag.
It's a pear.
It's a pear.
I really laughed.
I was thinking about it over the weekend.
It made me chuckle.
He sent us 10 bottles and cans of Prime.
Now, I say 10. We're down to nine because you've already drunk one. We're supposed to thinking about it over the weekend. It made me chuckle. He said it was 10 bottles and cans of Prime. Now, I say 10.
We're down to nine because you've already drunk one.
We're supposed to be doing this on the show.
I was very thirsty.
So what flavour have you got?
We had two ice pops versions, so I had a little go on that.
Is Rory running the cameras?
Are we going to do this on camera as well?
I guess so, yeah.
All right, let's bring the box over to me because if I lean that way, Pete,
I'll be off camera and no one will be able to see it.
No one will be able to see it.
We don't want that because I'm a, and I wouldn't do something like that.
So, bring the box around.
We've got, for flavours, I mean, you've already drunk, what, an ice pop?
I've already had an ice pop.
I've got blue raspberry.
By the way, this is exciting, Pete,
because this is drinks that people presumably can't even buy here,
because they're not able to.
I believe they're very expensive.
I think that they have starved the market over here
to artificially inflate very much like their colours.
Do you know what?
It's annoying, Pete.
We spend all our time just making honest-to-God,
good quality, free content.
And we don't get the fucking love they get.
And they're manipulating people every five minutes.
Well, why don't we just come up with a drink?
There's no fairness.
We should start mugging people off.
So what flavour do you want me to drink?
Hot milk.
Blue, hot milk. It's not a new drink, is it? Hot milk in a can mugging people off. So, what flavour do you want me to drink? Hot milk. Blue, hot milk.
It's not a new drink, is it?
It's not a new drink, is it?
Blue, hot milk in a can, just milk.
Do you remember those cans?
Can you still get them when you open it and it heats it up?
Is it barium?
Barium?
No, that's radioactive.
You can't have that in there.
Coffee.
It was coffee, right?
Yeah, but I'm just thinking about the metal, the reaction that happens.
It's a really strong chemical reaction.
It's the same how you can have like
cooked ramen
by pressing a button
on the bottom
or opening it up
and it just goes
gets real hot.
It seems a bit dangerous.
It does, yeah.
Maybe that's why
I don't do it anymore.
Right, blue raspberry,
strawberry watermelon,
ice pop, lemon lime,
tropical punch,
orange or blue raspberry.
What do you want me to drink?
I want you to have
the blue raspberry.
You fucking wanker.
That's the one I didn't want.
I'm going to do it in a can as well
so people can hear me open it.
Is that carbonated then?
Presumably.
Yeah, it is, yeah.
Is it?
Oh, interesting.
So it's carbonated filtered water,
coconut water from concentrate,
and then a whole load of fucking chemicals, baby.
Only 10 calories per serving, no?
Yeah.
There we go.
Yeah.
That was really sad.
That was a satisfying noise.
Yeah, okay. Clip that. We'll go. Yeah. That was really sad. That was a satisfying noise. Yeah, okay.
Clip that.
We'll use that again.
Tastes like an ice pop.
It just does like an ice pop.
You know the ice pops,
the brew ones used to get them melt.
Yeah, well, I mean,
I've got the ice pop version.
It tastes like that.
Cheers, guys.
We're all drinking Prime,
which means we must be pretty cool.
Mmm.
Look at that.
Prime. It's not bad. There pretty cool. Mmm. Look at that. Prime.
It's not bad.
There we go.
Exactly.
There you go.
I'm going to suck on this
for the rest of the episode.
Clip that.
Put that on Twitter.
On the socials.
What do kids use now?
TikTok.
Put this on TikTok.
And yeah,
nobody will be drinking this
by about next week.
No, hopefully not.
I'm a 41-year-old man.
I'm currently wearing a heart monitor
because of possibly diagnosed heart issues.
And I'm drinking this Ice Pop Prime,
and I think it's definitely a drink.
Hi, everyone.
I'm drinking the Blue Raspberry Prime.
I'm a 42-year-old man
who wears clothes that are too young for me.
And I've also got a double chin.
I love Prime.
I've watched three episodes of Grand Design this week,
and I'm having a Prime ice pop flavour.
Mmm.
Hear it all go down.
My favourite football player is Cristiano Ronaldo.
And my favourite TV show is Top Gear.
I cannot get enough of the lads on Top Gear,
and I drink Prime.
I cannot get enough of the lads on top gear
and I drink Prime
I
I was a linesman
for my 11 aside football side
at the weekend
because I'm not good enough
to get in the side
Prime
it's
there
I almost fell off my line bike today
sometimes I go for a wee
in the night
and I think I'm finished
but then I'll get back
to the room
and there'll be a little
dribble in my pants.
Prime.
Hi, I'm Luke.
Women look right through me.
Have you made it
uncool enough yet?
Have you got anything
else uncool
that you've done
I nearly drowned on a recent holiday
because I'm too weak to handle waves
prime
I genuinely think
that
Carly Rae Jepsen's a good pop artist
alright I think we've done enough that Carly Rae Jepsen's a good pop artist.
All right, all right.
I think we've done enough there.
We've done enough.
I'm an at-risk group for COVID.
Prime.
Mmm.
You can really taste the 250 milligrams of bee cacas.
Keep doing them.
Antioxidants.
There's a lot of electrolytes in here.
So good. Might affect my heart monitor.
Yeah, don't drink anymore, Pete.
Contains allergens, tree nuts.
By the way, it can't be a heart problem
if you never send the heart monitor back.
Exactly.
What if I just throw it in the river?
Think about exactly throwing it in the river.
All right, we should round off with an email, I think.
We've successfully scuppered.
He also sent us some batteries for the battery tank.
Oh, he did did actually, yeah.
It doesn't get any better.
Cheers, Noah.
Honestly, Noah does more work for the show than we do.
Simply done batteries.
Let me just check if they're a new player.
If they are, I'll put them in the battery daddy.
Simply done.
I'm afraid, Noah, Colin McGough sent those in two weeks ago.
Oh, no.
I'm afraid it's not a new player.
But we do thank you very much for sending us Prime. Same as we thank you for sending us in two weeks ago. Oh no. I'm afraid it's not a new player but we do thank you very much for
sending us Prime.
Same as we thank you
for sending us in the
battery daddy.
It's brilliant.
Thank you very much.
You spent $19.75 just
on the postage to send
us some Prime drinks.
We'll share them around
the stack team.
We will yeah.
And they'll be just as
uncool as us.
Well they already
probably are.
I did legitimately have
the shits for like five
days in a row last week.
Prime. Why? Because of that? I don't know. No it was pre that. I don legitimately have the shits for like five days in a row last week. Prime.
Why? Because of that?
No, it was pre that.
I don't know what I'd done, to be honest.
It was pre uncooked steak tartare as well, which was weird.
You had the shits for five days straight and then you drank a load of energy drinks
and ate a steak tartare prepared by an unhygienic neighbour?
It wasn't the neighbour, it was the neighbour's friend.
Okay.
I will not have my neighbours
dragged through the mud like this.
Because you've got to see them again.
Alright, let's finish with this email from Ben.
Ben says,
Hi guys.
I finally thought I'd have something to offer
which neatly intersects
with some of your recent tropes.
Back when I was a young teen,
I had a growing collection
of nuts magazines.
Not quite the porno mags of your discussions,
but hopefully you'll grant me some latitude.
I acquired them from the local post office.
At the time, I thought I was being pretty slick
by informing the shop assistant that I enjoyed the sports section with every purchase.
But looking back now, I'm somewhat confident he saw through my elaborate ruse.
Anyway, as a young teen, I felt I had pretty foolproof stash point
for my illicit materials,
straight under the bed
with the occasional mag
quickly deposited under the pillow
when quick evasive action was required.
As the collection grew,
I started to become weary
of flying too close to the sun
and decided to offload them.
It didn't take me long
to find a pal
who was very keen on the idea
of some excellent sports journalism
supplemented by the occasional
thought-provoking opinion of a wholesome
lass. And we agreed the transaction
would happen later that week
on the school bus.
I gathered the collection, remembering the
ones stashed under my pillow, of course, and
smuggled them out of my house, onto the
bus, and into the possession of my pal
without a hitch. Or so
I thought, until I became aware of a bit of commotion.
Upon further investigation, i.e. it was shoved under my nose to much hysteria,
there was a post-it note on the cover of the first magazine.
To my absolute horror, it read,
Enjoy the read, love mum.
Yes!
She must have found it under the pillow while changing the bedsheets
and thought she would offer some genuinely sweet
and non-invasive parental support
what she actually did
was condemn me
to being the butt
of about six months
worth of torment
I won't go into detail
but kids can be cruel
my family sorted the situation
in proper British fashion
we never
ever
acknowledged it
yeah love the show
keep up the good work
and get Vish back on
cheers Ben
oh yeah I forgot about Vish
Vish hasn't done this for ages
yeah I think that's wonderful I think that's lovely have you ever been caught Love the show. Keep up the good work and get Vish back on. Cheers, Ben. Oh yeah, I forgot about Vish. Vish hasn't done this for ages.
Yeah, I think that's wonderful.
I think that's lovely.
Have you ever been caught... Prime?
I haven't said anything.
Have you ever been caught
with a magazine
by your parents?
I don't think so, no.
The most embarrassing thing
that happened to me
was I was riding...
I rode home on my moped from my job on like a Saturday evening or whatever.
And the night before, shows you how young I was, I'd been out at a rave at the Opera House in Bournemouth.
Right.
Right.
This was the late 90s.
Well, probably like 97-ish.
And that was high-stakes stuff because we weren't old enough to fucking get into the Opera House in Bournemouth.
Right.
And it's about a 45 minute
coach gym
and we did
yeah anyway
we did go
and we did get let in
and we stayed there all night
and obviously
I was so young
that I think I probably
just came home
went straight to work
because I was on the dairy shift
at Avsdor at the time
so I was at 6 o'clock starts
right
did that
didn't think much of it
came back
as I came up the path
it must have been the summer
my mum was down there
fuming
like tears
fuming
and
excuse me
I've got some fucking prime
give me a burst
Jesus
and
she
she wouldn't say anything
I was like what the fuck's happening
she's so angry
she didn't even want to get into it
yeah
and then she just left something on the side
and it was this little
pouch
like a see throughthrough plastic pouch.
You could snap the top off of liquid, right?
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Clear liquid.
And she had obviously been through my clothes to wash them.
And thought it was like, yeah.
And she thought it was drugs.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was a free Tommy Hilfiger aftershave sample from outside the club.
So I was like, mum, what's up?
She's like, I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to talk about it. I popped it. She was like, oh, don't open it. I'm like, no, it's up? She's like, I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it.
I popped it.
She was like,
oh,
don't open it.
I was like,
mum,
it's fucking up to you.
I'm fucking doing it.
I'm drinking it.
I was like,
mum,
I'm doing it.
I tried to bring it
towards my nose
and she went straight
for behind my ear.
Little dab.
Little dab on the wrist.
I love that.
My mum would say that
with a spoon.
I was walking around
with a spoon
just in my mouth
like for ages.
Oh, you're such a delinquent.
Oh, you were so cool.
What's that?
She grabbed it off me
and started smelling it.
Like looking at it
and smelling it
like I was eating drugs
or something.
Very confusing.
Probably thought you were
burning up,
cooking up
black tar heroin.
Exactly, yeah.
I think my mum's
a little bit scared of stuff.
What about grotty magazines, Peter?
Never got caught
with grotty magazines, no.
Did you get caught when you were Jack O'Lantern with grotty magazines, no. Did you get caught?
When you were Jack O'Lantern for the first time
playing HeroQuest, did you get caught for that?
No, I remember I almost got caught once,
but I did a sort of mad commando role.
What?
I'd broken my elbow, so I had to do it.
Let's do the Klinsman dive at football.
Yeah, I had to do it with my other hand,
and my sister was coming to the door,
and I sort of did a mad commando role.
This is weird. What were you doing with the door hand and my sister was coming to the door and I sort of did a mad commando role. This is weird.
What were you doing with the door open
with your sister in the house?
It wasn't open.
People just fucking,
in my house,
seem to think it's okay
to just open the fucking door.
I couldn't be doing anything.
I was doing anything.
Why do you think a commando role
is going to make that better?
It covered up the filth.
Covered up the rot.
Covered up the issues.
What do you mean?
I'm trying to think of a situation you could be in
where you're ready to do a commander role
and that sorts it out.
Well, I'm just saying I covered myself up.
Talk me through it.
Because I was unable to cover myself up
because I'd broken my arm.
Yeah.
Right?
And so I rolled onto my front
and just pretended I was looking under a bed or something.
Oh, yeah, that looks normal.
You definitely got away with that. Definitely. I mean, that's the most normal thing anyone could do, just was looking under a bed or something. Oh yeah, that looks normal. You definitely got away with that.
Definitely.
I mean, that's the
most normal thing
anyone could do,
just suddenly look
under the bed.
I was suddenly
looking under the
bed, Lou.
Yeah, it's fine.
She walked out
saying, at least
he's not playing
Hero Quest.
At least he's not
playing fucking
Hero Quest.
Alright, you've
closed your laptop,
Pete, that must
have been a rough
off, and it's not
even your laptop,
is it?
Or is that a spare
one?
It is a spare one,
it's a Chromebook.
Good to know.
Good to know.
Speaking of absolute filth, some of the stuff you've done with that Chromebook one it is a spare one it's a chrome book good to know good to know speaking of
absolute filth
some of the stuff
you've done with that
chrome book eh

and enjoy our prime

around the office

pal Noah Roth
Noah shout out to you

Nebraska's
most as far as
we're concerned
most impressive son
correct
I mean I literally
can't think of anyone
else from Nebraska

the only thing I can think of when it comes to Nebraska
is the Cinnabon that Saul Goodman ends up working at
in Better Call Saul.
Nice, I like it.
It's the only thing I can think of.
Cool.
Thanks very much, Noah.
