It's the Luke Good Pete Show
And that's what we like doing
Every Monday and Thursday
We do the Luke Good Pete Show
What a beautiful ditty
Yeah, I was hoping for a better end
But, you know, sometimes
Dreams don't come true, really.
No, I do really enjoy when I'm in the car on my own making up songs.
Yeah.
As I go along.
Because you've got a lovely voice, and I think...
Oh, come on.
I'd quite enjoy hearing some of those songs.
Stop it.
No, carry on.
As long as they don't get political.
Carry on.
Have you seen these clips of Neymar playing for Al-Hilal
in the Asian Champions League
against I think Mumbai City
or something
can I
you say what you're going to say
because I've got something
to say about this
this whole
kind of like these superstars
heading to this league
you've got to look like
you're interested
like
you've got to look like
you're trying
it's a very foul
jamboree isn't it it's just I mean you're getting paid a lot of money you've got to look like you're trying. It's a very foul jamboree, isn't it?
It's just, I mean, you're getting paid a lot of money.
You've got to pretend like you're running as fast as you can.
Especially for those playmasters.
You can't just, it looks like Masters football.
It looks like that five-a-side league they used to run on Sky Sports
at like 1am or something.
Which was great, by the way.
I don't really remember.
I only ever saw like replays of it.
And it was mainly Jason McAteer.
I went to go see it at Olds Court once.
It was so fun.
Did the ball come out of the ceiling?
It's a good question.
I think the ball used to come out the ceiling
and then drop in the middle of them
and they just sort of challenged for it.
The thing I wanted to say about the Neymar thing,
and for those who aren't football fans,
basically Neymar, one of the world's biggest football players,
was playing for Paris Saint-Germain,
got snapped up by a Saudi Arabian club
because they were chucking a lot of money around the game at the moment,
obviously took the king's shilling to head over there
for a frankly disgraceful amount of money.
Anyway, the thing I hated about it
and thought there should be some kind of punishment,
did you see that he flew there
on a private 747
with three people on it?
You don't know what cargo he had.
He may have been transporting some big things.
If he had come out saying,
I understand what you're saying about the environment
and climate catastrophe,
but there's a crucial amount of cargo on this plane
and I'm going to
show it to you now
that's fine
and he opens up
the belly
it was one of those
big beluga
one of those big beluga
sometimes they've got
another plane in them
which is amazing
cargo planes
yeah amazing
and they lift off
the nose
and what comes out
is 53 dead dolphins
that he's killed himself
and he goes
look
where am I going to
get dolphin meat
in the middle of the desert, dickhead?
Those 10,000 penguins that died in Antarctica,
they just all spill out.
Did you see that story?
No.
What business do they have dying?
A great, another great chapter in human history
is that a huge chunk of ice in Antarctica broke off,
and it broke off at a time when the penguin mating season wasn't finished,
and so none of the juvenile penguins had developed enough oily fur and feathers to survive,
and 10,000 of them died.
That's a lot.
That is a proper troop.
You could eat for days.
How much better a metaphor is there for what's happening than that?
Yeah.
So basically the sea ice underneath where the chicks were all nesting
melted and broke apart,
and 10,000 of them drowned or froze to death.
Right. But I imagine
it didn't happen almost immediately.
It just probably just...
And the thing about penguins is
they look quite morose
at the best of times, don't they?
They just seem
a bit lost anyway.
They sort of flap about
and they look quite listless and confused
at the best of times.
Don't have a go at them.
Watching these little guys.
Respect for the dead.
So at what point does,
I mean, presumably there was some human observers
of this situation.
No, so it was observed,
but it actually happened late last year.
Right.
And I think it's only just come to light
because it was it was
noticed by satellite data i thought it was just like like there were human observers like you see
in the in the wild where something horrific happens and you can't intervene you can't really
intervene so i just thought it might be like that like they they watched them and but even though
it was a man-made um iceberg situation that had broke off it was a man-made iceberg situation
that had broke off.
It wasn't man-made.
What are you talking about?
I mean, as I said, the situation that would dictate
that the ice sheet would break or whatever happened.
Oh, it was caused by man.
It was caused by man.
So presumably it would be a bit rich not to get involved at that point
when all those poor little penguins.
So what I'm imagining is someone running onto that bit of the ice and throwing them over the gap to their parents sadly there's no one around right so they
couldn't do that they couldn't even rescue a handful of them yeah which is a shame but what
isn't what is horrific about it is that i when i saw this story i noticed that emperor penguins
are currently categorized by the international union of the conservation for the conservation of nature as near threatened so so basically there's a scale and i might talk to you about it before
um where it's um you know it's i think it's least concern near threatened vulnerable endangered
critically endangered extinct in the wild then just extinct right they're the um the categories
and least concern is the one above near threatened
and penguins are near threatened right there can't be that many of them right surely just by just by
definition there can't be that many birds so so apparently so here we go this apparently the total
population of emperor penguins is around 595 000 birds all spread around antarctic and the antarctic circle that's
not enough 10 000 just gone in one go yeah yeah we can't be losing 10 000 at a time that's crazy
no so like it's actually quite a seismic event from that point of view as well how many eggs do
they have how many viable eggs do the penguins they only do one at a time don't they now you're
asking that you're really stretching my wildlife knowledge.
Yeah, I'm not really sure.
But it's not a great situation is all I was going to say.
And on the interventionist thing, that came up the other day, I noticed.
So do you know, have you heard of a Tom Wolfe book called The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test?
No.
book called The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test?
No.
So it's a non-fiction book
by Tom Wolfe who also wrote
he's written a load of stuff, you'll probably be familiar with some of his work
he's written things like
he wrote The Right Stuff about the
astronauts and stuff
and he wrote
he's written loads of stuff, The Right Stuff is actually really good
I didn't think The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test was
actually that good but he's written loads of stuff the writer's stuff is actually really good I didn't think the electric chloride acid test was actually that good but
he
he's almost like a
a gonzo journalist
right
like a new journalist
new journalism star
so basically he goes
and he kind of
experiences stuff
and he writes about it
yeah
and
he
wrote a book
like I said
called the electric
chloride acid test
I think it was that book
and he hangs around
with a load of psychedelic types
who are just taking ASD all the time and all the rest of it.
I think I'm right in saying he took a lot of flack
because this book was written in the 60s.
He took a lot of flack because he witnessed, I think,
a quite serious sexual assault.
Okay.
But he didn't intervene because he said he was a documentarian.
He couldn't.
And obviously people were saying,
that's absolutely horrific, right?
Some people basically understand to be saying, you need to intervene here. said he was a documentarian he couldn't and obviously people were saying that's absolutely horrific right you you some people
basically understand
to be saying you
need to intervene
here and then it
came up again in
a really much
different way of
if you want to
call it art
creation have you
heard of a TV
series called
below deck
what the TV
where they're on
a yacht and stuff
yeah it's basically
following the crew
around these super
yachts.
Right, okay.
They're looking after these ridiculously wealthy clients
who are just horrific.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, I've seen it.
Yeah, I understand.
Yeah.
And so apparently fairly recently there was a situation
where a woman was drunk and passed out in her bed
and a guy who was also drunk tried to, got naked
and tried to get in the bed
with her.
Right.
And the cameraman stopped him.
Yeah,
I'm right.
Yeah,
you said you can't do that.
Yeah.
And so he intervened there.
But what I'm saying
is the same principle,
right?
Yeah.
I mean,
it's,
yeah,
massively.
I mean,
it's not,
you know,
God given right
to just stand back.
You know,
that very much
has to be part of your,
you know,
it's not a...
I mean, you have to get involved, Julie.
Yeah, I think so. I totally think so.
I'm just... When you talked
about intervening in stuff when you're
documenting things, I just thought it was an
interesting example. Of course, it's
much more important to, you know,
save a life or to do whatever
than it is to stand back and go, yeah, I'm an artist,
man. It's like when you see me playing with matches.
I won't intervene.
You distract me with some shiny paper.
I was burning my fingers.
I mean, talking about, you know, pre-holiday burning a little while ago
about my pot noodle experience.
Sammy's got a real interest
in grabbing hold of the end of my shoelace
and swinging the shoe around.
Yeah.
And the ends get rather frayed.
So I was trying to sort of cajole them
into a point so I could get them
through the holes of my trainers.
And so I had them on the hob.
I was kind of melting the plastic in the hob.
Yeah.
And I was sort of like pulling on the ends of them
to form the plastic melting into like a spot.
And it did a fine point.
And I just kept burning my finger.
And I was like, oh, that really hurt.
Oh, I'm not going to do that again.
And I was like, I'm too lazy to find anything else to protect my hand.
And so I did it a second time.
I was like, that's even worse.
And then I did it four times.
Did you get it done?
Yeah, I've got a bone on now.
I've got a bone on my finger.
Whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes.
You've got to get it done, yeah.
Good for you.
What price can you put on fashion?
My mother and father-in-law have got a dog who goes crazy with shoes every time you get home.
Loves to spin them around.
He just picks up a shoe, any shoe in his mouth and goes mad for it.
Lukey Moore.
Yeah.
We were talking about this last night on the WhatsApp group.
Would you like a couple of examples of Hulk Hogan's lies?
Oh, so this is an amazing phenomenon
which I wasn't really that aware of.
So can you give people context
because they may not know.
So there may be people in your life
that tell tall tales.
I mean, I love a story.
If I'm in the pub and I've had a few beers,
I'm away.
But they're frequently not about you.
They're frequently not about the things you've achieved they're frequently not about um things that you've
done in your life and uh you know they're just stories and everyone knows how mediocre i am
um no so hulk hogan is a man who will not stop telling lies about his past like he is one of
the world's most famous men he's a man who's grown up very much in the
public eye since he was you know in his early 20s and yet he still thinks he's able to tell massive
provably false lies to to everyone who will listen he's getting on a bit now, and he just feels very comfortable
talking absolute baloney.
I'll rate it.
I'll rate it.
Just do what you want.
You've got the stage now.
He's post-truth, isn't he?
He's very Trumpian.
He lives in Florida.
I think he's a Trump supporter.
You know, he'll...
He doesn't matter.
No one's going to...
And he's richer than hell after the
Gawker incident
the thing is though even in the
that shows you doesn't it without being too
earnest it shows you
the damage
can be done by people in massive
positions
of power normalising
this ridiculous fucking
behaviour
giving people a licence who are otherwise quite dickheadish positions of power, normalising this ridiculous fucking behaviour. This nonsense, yeah.
And giving people a licence
who are otherwise
just quite dickheadish
just to do it themselves, right?
And I think there's an element
to it with Hulk.
When people get to a certain age,
they just don't give a shit anymore.
Yeah, there's that as well.
My grandad's a great example of it.
I went to see my grandad
about two weeks ago.
The first thing he said to me
was,
you've put on a bit.
You've got to sort that out. I'll sort that out if our you yeah thanks how you doing you know they don't care so
there's a bit of that to it as well but i mean this this clip you sent me was fucking hilarious
so hulk hogan did an interview with muscle and health magazine which um you know i'm not a big
muscle and health guy uh but i presume men's health is up there as the best. But muscle and health seems like a bit of a bottom feeder.
Covers it all, though.
Covers it all.
Muscle and health.
And it's pretty insane.
Hulk Hogan has a reputation for just lying all the time.
But even for Hulk Hogan, the clip in question,
which we'll share on socials,
is even better than what he usually pulls out,
lies per minute anyway.
He basically spoke about this child
who died before he wrestled at Wembley Stadium.
He's now saying that a child died at Wembley Stadium
after Hulk Hogan could smell that the boy was dying
when he was wrestling at SummerSlam
at Wembley Stadium in the UK.
boy was dying when he was wrestling at SummerSlam at Wembley
Stadium in the UK.
Ignoring the fact that that's
demented behaviour
anyway, and demented thing to say,
smelling death and all that stuff,
he wasn't even at
SummerSlam.
He didn't even wrestle at Wembley
Stadium. He goes on to say that he brought
Simon Cowell over to do the wrestling album.
He wasn't involved in any of that.
And so there are
some incredible stuff
that Hulk Hogan
feels very comfortable just sort of
absolutely bashing. Doesn't he also say like
he topped the Billboard 200 charts
for like eight weeks or something as well?
Yeah, absolute nonsense.
So here's a few favourites.
These are his kind of boilerplate
like classic ones
that have been
disproven so many times
Hulk Hogan claimed
that he was offered
the main role
in the movie
The Wrestler
three times
the director
Darren Oronofsky
then responded
saying for the record
the role of the wrestler
was always Mickey Rock
it was never Hulk Hogan
and you know
I don't know
where that came from
imagine if Hulk Hogan
was in that fucking movie.
It'd just be absolutely ridiculous.
It'd be terrible.
In Hogan's second biography, My Life Outside the Ring,
he claims to have wrestled 400 days out of the year.
He claims it was from flying back and forth to Japan
which added days to his year.
Absolute shit.
Hulk Hogan claims that,
so Hulk Hogan, like when he first started,
he wasn't really interested in wrestling,
but he was just like kind of a beach bum,
like he was a California beach bum,
or maybe Florida probably.
But he was in like a rock band and he played bass.
Anyway, he said that he was supposed to play bass
for both the Rolling Stones and Metallica.
Both bands have denied this rumor many times.
Lars Ulrich said on the Howard Stern show, I don't know Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan said he used to fight Pride Fighters in the 70s, which is obviously, you know, UFC before it was UFC.
But Pride Fighting didn't have their first event until 1997 when Hulk Hogan was very much a pro wrestler.
Hulk Hogan said that he partied with John Belushi after WrestleMania 2.
John died in 82.
WrestleMania 2 was 86.
Hulk Hogan and Clemson brought Simon Cowell to the United States.
He said he wrestled at SummerSlam 92 at Wembley
and noticed an empty seat in the crowd.
He noticed that a sick fan of his had died.
Simon helped him make a song about it. He wasn't at SummerSlam 92 at Wembley and noticed an empty seat in the crowd. He noticed that a sick fan of his had died. Simon helped him make a song about it. He wasn't
at SummerSlam 92. Hulk Hogan
has said that Mike Tyson was too scared to work with Hogan
in WCW.
Hulk Hogan
said that he had a match with
Antonio Inoki in Japan.
Hogan beat him up so badly that Inoki
died but got brought back to life via
CPR after the match.
He only died last year.
I mean, it's good stuff.
Hulk Hogan claimed that Elvis Presley was a Hulkamaniac.
Elvis died in 1977 before Hulk Hogan was even a thing.
It's all strong, strong lies.
Do you think he's just gone to a situation
where he's been
just told
what he can do
so often
that he can do
whatever he likes
he
he can
he just doesn't
he's just got no
perspective anymore
because apparently
I remember reading
way back in the day
that he claimed
you know he had that
kind of brief period
in Hollywood
where he was an actor
he did like Mr. Nanny
and Suburban Commando
yeah
didn't he claim
that he wrote
all the scripts for those
yes he rewrote them
yeah
he rewrote them
in a few days
you did it
like some of this stuff
like he
I mean
bearing in mind
he made a lot of money
out of that
sex tape
yeah he made
and he also
didn't he make
30 million dollars
from that Gawker lawsuit
yeah that was part of it
wasn't it
oh right
yeah yeah
with
Bubba the Love Sponge or something that was part of it, wasn't it? Oh, right, okay. With Bubba the
Love Sponge or something. That was the guy,
wasn't he? The Howard Stern sidekick.
Yeah, he made
an inordinate amount of money out of that. And like, if he's just
throwing out absolute lies,
he's got some deep pockets. Could he not
like, could he not? None of that happened.
I'm suing you for lying.
No, but I guess... About my smelly
dead child. He's not libeling
people though. He's just making himself look like a prat.
Yeah, well, you know, he's
mentioning people. He said that
Mike Tyson was too scared to fight him.
Mike Tyson needs, you know, weed money.
Mike Tyson does not need
any money and there's no way he's suing him
for that. Are you sure?
Mike Tyson seems like a man who hasn't
got a lot of scratch.
He does a lot of mad stuff.
Yeah, but I think he's got a pretty successful set of businesses, hasn't he?
Right.
I think he's quite, against all odds, I think he's actually quite successful, old Tyson.
I like it when he doesn't realise that Hasbro's a grown man.
I like it when, have you seen seen it when have you seen that video
that meme video where
Rory can stick it on the old socials where
some guy, I can't remember who it is now
is talking about his favourite hip hop artists.
Right.
And he's just listed all these classic
hip hop artists from like the 80s.
And Tyson just cuts and goes
You give love a bad
name.
And I think it's Dana White from UFC,
and Dana White just goes,
that's Bon Jovi.
And Tyson just sat there.
I wanted everybody to be cool.
Is Pesci still with us?
Did he die?
Yeah, no, he's knocking about, yeah.
He's knocking about.
He doesn't do anything, does he?
I mean, he looks mental now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He looks like,
I think he does still do stuff. He was in The Irishman, I think anything, does he? He looks mental now. He looks like... I think he does still do stuff.
He was in The Irishman, I think.
He was in The Irishman, yeah.
He's in a new film coming out
called Day of the Fight, apparently.
Right, okay.
Which is the guy who...
Do you know the best character
in Boardwalk Empire?
Richard Thingy the sniper
from the First World War
yeah
he's now a director
right
this guy called Jack Houston
and he's directing
a movie called
Day of the Fight
and Pesh is in that
but he doesn't do
an awful lot of stuff
I saw him in the street
around the corner
from my house once
did you?
yeah
what in Soho?
yeah
I was going to say
well not in Lyon Say
I think it's
he's called a Lyon City. I think it was.
He's called it Lyon City.
I think he was in a theatre play around the corner. Did you hear that story about back in the day in Beverly Hills?
I want to say it was Robbie Williams.
He was heading to some big party at a house in Beverly Hills
and got his driver just to park a car in front of a driveway.
Yeah.
And it turned out to be Joe Pesci's driveway.
Right.
And Pesci was like, next thing you know, he came out and Pesci was smashing the shit out
of the car of a golf club.
And he was like, this is like proper like life imitating art.
So good.
I guess you're on his, the neighbour next door, not one I know,
I think is the one who left an aggressive note
about the dogs barking.
Oh, who was that? Have you found out who that was?
Yeah, I've got some ideas.
They've put a big sign on their...
They've got a big sign on their...
They've got this drop curve,
and the back of their house has a little sort of garage,
but they never use it.
There's no car in there.
But they've seen fit to put a big sign up,
a really ugly sign saying,
no parking in front of the drop curve,
no parking in front of the garage.
But they've been there for two years.
They've never used it for cars.
They've never ever used it for cars.
It's a greenhouse, basically.
And the thing that makes me laugh is that he only put that sign up
because he doesn't want people parking over the drop curve
that he exclusively uses for his own car.
Yeah.
So he puts it in front of the drop curve and the curb,
and he makes it look like you're allowed to park there
because no one knows whose car that is.
Do you know what I mean?
So if you're driving past, you don't go, oh, you can park there because there's knows whose car that is. Do you know what I mean? So if you're driving past,
you don't go,
oh, you can park there
because there's a car in the car.
I see what you mean.
In many ways, it's the perfect crime.
Don't use it.
You know what I mean?
It's the perfect crime.
It's the perfect crime.
Yeah, you should fucking get in this grill
and park there yourself.
Yeah.
I mean, I think I all did that
when I fast-fooded in.
But yeah, it's just usual
kind of like passive aggressiveness. Any more news
on the woman who enjoys putting
corns out? She's still doing it, mate.
She's still doing it. I couldn't believe
it the other day when Mimi sent me a video
of her doing it again.
She's doing it again. It's outrageous.
It's absolutely outrageous. Our next-door neighbour's got
three kids who need
the spade. It's just
dreadful stuff. Let's get some buttered sausage in the spite. It's just, anyway, it's just dreadful stuff.
Buttered sausage.
Buttered sausage.
Right.
Let's get some
buttered sausage in the break
and when we come back
we're going to do some
more buttered sausages
aka
vaulted
buttered sausages.
Electric sausages.
Batteries.
We're back with
Logan Peter Shaw.
We've got the
lovely tidy little feature
I like to call
the boys of the battery brands.
If you find a battery somewhere
do let us know.
Take a picture
and you have to
own the battery.
Is that fair?
I think that's what
we're speaking about.
Yeah, you have to have
custody of it for sure.
Chris says
hello.
I don't know why it's
taking so long to send this in
but the battery from
my insulin pump
is surely a new player.
The swill.
It's an annoying little fucker that you can't easily buy
replacements for if
it runs out while you're out and about.
It's half
double A sized.
That's weird. Yeah.
I'm liking it though. I think it's allowed.
I think it's allowed. It's
half double A sized.
I don't know if that's that's that's
official but um yeah soo eel um and it's a it's a it's a strange little sort of shape why didn't
they just make it a little bit bigger but i guess yeah but good luck with the old insulin pump
now that was that's another bit of admin that's quite worrying because i wouldn't know where uh
god it's like how did could you just eat the insulin
i'm not sure i don't know if you look at the's like... Could you just eat the insulin? You put it in your mouth?
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
If you look at the battery that our friend Chris is sharing,
it's got a URL on it, Pete.
S-O-O-I-L dot com.
Right.
Shall I have a look?
Yeah, I've been to that website,
and I'd love to...
I'd be fascinated to hear what you think about it.
Right.
S-O-O-I-L dot com.
Yeah.
It's coming through rather slow, and that usually means it's... Oh, yeah, it? Right. S-O-O-I-L dot com. Yeah. It's coming through rather slow
and that usually means it's,
oh yeah, it's Korean.
It's Korean.
Sort of heading around there.
Can you read anything on the homepage?
No.
I can translate with Google Translate though.
What's it saying?
No, I can't.
It's an image.
So what,
first of all,
before we get to all that nonsense,
there is a brand new player.
We've never seen that one before.
The new player has entered the game, Chris.
So I hope you didn't do yourself a mischief
taking apart
your insulin pump, because that's not what we would
want. And I would say that this is
the name of the company that does
insulin pumps, so it's not like just
a battery brand. It's a
company branding up their own batteries. Are we happy with that?
Yeah, I think that's fine.
Especially because they... Whoa, look at that.
That looks sexy.
I want one.
It looks like... Remember those talk boys
that Macaulay Culkin had in Home Alone
that would repeat what you said?
Yeah.
The Diabacare 2S.
It looks like a little camcorder.
Great stuff.
Right.
That looks fun.
Sorry.
Getting distracted by insulin pumps there.
It's a new player. Congratulations to you, Chris. That's sexy. Sorry. Getting distracted by insulin pumps there. It's a new player.
Congratulations to you, Chris.
That's sexy.
All right.
We've got a message from Dave.
Hi, guys.
While enjoying another helping from Stack,
the Stack pod buffet at work,
I noticed a random battery sat on my desk,
and I have no idea where it came from.
The closest explanation I have is that my dad,
the previously mentioned American Air Base pirate,
is trapped in a parallel.... I remember when he got
the shits and just, like,
hid his video or something.
He's trapped in a parallel dimension like Matthew McConaughey
in Interstellar and somehow
willed it here for me to find.
We present CT Guantacell
Super Heavy Duty.
It's a tiny, tiny
triple air. I love the design.
It looks like
the kind of battery
the green goblin
who we spoke about
before on the show
that's fair
we're always talking
about him
yeah
is it a new player
what makes the battery
super heavy duty
because so many of them
seem to say that
it's just like a slogan
yeah I mean it's
super heavy duty
but the actual form factor
is super little dainty
yeah
surprisingly enough
actually David
it's not a new player um i thought
it would be i was convinced it would be but it's actually you know the um the ct guantanamo super
heavy duty has been set in twice before by george quinlan way back in 2021 and by adrian in july of
this year so they're not new players i'm afraid Dave I'm so sorry yeah so that's
one of those things
but unfortunately
that's how it goes
yeah
alright
let's move on to
Stuart
email title
it's definitely
a new player
I'll tell you for once
Stuart it fucking isn't
I found this beauty
when my daughter
decided to change
up the double A's
in her Polaroid camera
I got very excited
no one else
shared my enthusiasm
me neither
to be honest, Stuart.
My eyes lit up.
My hand moved fast.
My wife rolled her eyes.
That fucking podcast.
I imagine that's how she spoke.
They're Australian, by the way.
They're Australian.
That fucking podcast.
Fucking.
That was fucking galahs.
My daughter was confused.
She wasn't in the know.
I said, oh, it's a poem.
I've just realised.
I thought you were doing the poem.
No, that's just the normal cadence of my talk.
Let me do it again.
My eyes lit up.
My hand moved fast.
My wife rolled her eyes.
That fucking podcast.
My daughter was confused.
She wasn't in the know.
I sent it for the battery list on the Luke and Pete show.
That shit is pathetic, grumbled my wife.
I mumbled something back about leaving my life.
I said it's a new player.
I'll be a friend of the pod.
Luke will check the list.
Pete will give it the nod.
I present you for scrutiny the wonderful Pear Deer.
Has there been a more beautifully crafted energy vessel?
I think he was going to go back and replace that
with a rhyming world
please say it's a new
player on the list
along with
fuck you Shannon
he got a new player
before I tell you
I'm just going to
remind you
the scene is so
typically Australian
I said it's a new player
I'll be a friend
of the pod
Luke will check the list
Pete will give it
the nod
it's the 44th pair
there
hey you could have got number 50 you could have got number 50 Luke will check the list. Pete will give it the nod. It's the 44th pair, dear.
Hey, you could have got number 50.
You could have got number 50.
44th time's a charm.
Yeah.
Sorry about that, mate.
That's two birthdays in that.
That's two identical birthdays in there.
Stuart, your marital issues are your own.
I'm with Shannon on this one.
Yeah.
He's a nightmare man.
That fucking podcast.
Fucking podcast.
Quickly before we go, I've just got to squeeze this email in
because I promised I'd do it
it's from our friend Neil
it's about a ghost grandad
along the popular theme at the moment
for seeing ghosts
hi guys I've got a ghost story for you
I didn't actually get eyes on my dead grandad
but he still popped in to say goodbye
in 2003 my grandad was in hospital
with only days to live due to the fact that he was
suffering from bone marrow
cancer. I got home one day
after visiting him and went to my room,
rolled a joint, and put on the
Fast and Furious on DVD.
Yes.
Don't laugh, Peter. What's wrong with that?
Nothing. Get home and watch the Fast and Furious DVD.
Smoking a big J.
Get it on. I'm watching Fast and Furious. Get it on.
Some lovely extra features. Within minutes of putting the film
on, we had a power cut.
So I sat on my windowsill smoking and then I
noticed it was only our house with no power
as the whole street was still lit up.
So my dad checked the fuse box
and nothing had tripped out.
Then after about five minutes, everything comes back on
exactly the same time, the landline
rings. It's my nan. My grandad
had died. He was an electrician.
Cheers, Neil. That's a
great twist, right? That's a good one.
Look, I'm willing to believe.
I'm putting the bit of X-tip on my window.
I'm willing to believe.
Putting the red lamp up in the window, I want to
believe.
There we go. I thought we should end with that because it's a very poignant story.
That's the kind of ghost.
It involves electricity.
It involves the Fast and the Furious and smoking a big dube.
Fantastic.
My mum maintains that when her grandfather died,
he was my great-grandad and I was only about 10 or 11.
She said she had a dream the night before
that her grandad and her were walking down the street
and a bus came along and her granddad got on the bus
and she tried to get on.
The granddad said, no, you can't get on.
And the next day she found out he had died.
Now, I don't know if that's true,
but that's what she said.
That's wild, isn't it?
It's what your brain does.
My great granddad, my mum's granddad, the same guy,
did a really lovely thing to her as well.
He said to her, when he kind of knew the game was up,
he said to her, I'll come back to you as a Robin.
Every time you see a Robin, you know that I'm there looking after you.
And we had that passed down our family.
So every time I see a Robin now, I still always think,
oh, that's my great-grandad.
It's quite a nice little gift to leave to a person i think yeah i think it is anyway on that note
buddy love that all right then um every time you see us we'll be a dirty pigeon
yeah exactly we see two pigeons together kicking off and one of them's got a gammy foot and the
other one's taking a shit. That's Luke and Pete.
That's the Luke and Pete show.
It's like scabbing little pigeons eating a chip.
Right, we'll be back on Monday.
Yeah, we just did battery brands, didn't we?
We'll be back on Monday.
If you found any pair of ears in any electronics,
just pop them down the toilet.
Through the wonders of modern technology and pre-recordings,
next show we do, because do presumably you'll be back
from Japan
so we can learn all about that
yeah
I'll have had my
silicon legs
flitted off me
keep them on
get them surgically grafted on
keep them on
alright then
see you later on guys
thanks a lot
have a good weekend.
