The Luke and Pete Show - Lukey in Lagos

Episode Date: January 9, 2025

Today, Pete can’t stop raving about WD40, while Luke ponders how parenting life has crushed his spontaneity. Then, the lads debate nap time efficiency, the dread of “circling back in the new year,” and whether cash really is king...should we really be handing a stack of cash straight to the doctor?Elsewhere, Pete pitches "Lukey in Lagos", a foolproof idea for Luke to become a YouTube sensation, while Luke debates the right approach to plane food — spoiler: just say no. Plus, the lads have a Beatles impression-off, and a much needed follow up to the Grimsby fish shop saga.Give us your best WD40 stories here: [e-mail] Hosted on Acast.

It's the look of Pete Just, Thursday the 9th of January and my name is Pete Donaldson. Lukey, how you feeling? You got a sort of half shirt, half shakket on? It's just a little over shirt actually. What are you doing in this cold weather? I'm a little bit concerned that my car's going to be making some, basically my car's gonna be making some, basically my car's started making stupid noises and I've bought a tin of WD-40 and I'm just gonna spray that belt. I'm gonna spray that accessories belt. What belt? The seat belt? The belt. I just don't know. So you slide up and down when you're stopping?

The child's restrainer. All the belts in the car, I'm just gonna give it a liberal spring of WD-40 and I think we'll be absolutely fine but yeah it's only one way to start the year off Pete and that is with WD-40. It is it's just such a good product and you know what they I've fixed so much stuff with WD-40 and I fixed so much obviously also with their product contact cleaner. In one of the more recent Alan Partridge vehicles I think think it was this time, he falls foul of a guy who is claiming copyright infringement because Alan's trying to, I think, do a biopic about Lewis Hamilton. Right.

The title he's given it is someone's already registered a copyright as the title for the story of WD-40. I can't remember what the name of it is, but it's fucking funny. If you've got anything electrical that goes wrong or you know, any electricals that are outside usually are open to the elements, get yourself a tin, a spray bottle of contact cleaner. You will save so much much money everything just fucks up on where electrical wire meets electrical wire unplug it give it a spray plug it back in it'll be fine what is i don't even know what you're saying what are you saying it's some kind

it just cleans gunk off electrical um bits of copper i suppose bits of uh bits of wire conductive vessels i suppose it's how's going to help your car? Well I've only fixed Sarah's car with a spray bottle of contact cleaner and the belt's making a squeaky noise so I'm just gonna hit it with a WD-40 see if that fixes it. I don't know how you find time to do all this stuff. I do nothing other than work and parents. That's what I'm talking about here. I've not done it yet though have I? I've got an hour and a half at two o'clock when she goes down and then and that that just disappears. Where does that go? Do you know what I do when my son naps what I do is I

Look forward to the quiet time and then spend the entire quiet time anxious that the quiet time is running out He's running out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What is is a hand movement on the camera indicative of her wanting to get up? I don't do that. I'll wait for the noise. Wait for the daddy to get me out of here. Wait for the noise, yeah. Peter, how's your week been? Are we into the kind of haunch of January yet, would you say?

I think so. I mean, we're hurtling up. We are hurtling. January yet would you say? I think so, I mean we're hurtling, we are hurtling. How is the night already? I know, I know. It's because like Christmas and New Year sort of sat at a time where we work in a lot with a lot of like media companies and media agencies and stuff. And November everyone downstairs at the end of November. December no one does anything. Do you know what people love to do Pete? Around the end of November to the start of December. What I've noticed is people love to do

is they love to quote, quote circle back in the New Year. Circle back in the New Year, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean to be honest, as is someone who also likes to circle back as well. When it comes to the New Year I don't want to do the circling. No, exactly, yeah, get out of the way before Christmas. Yeah, it is kinda, it is funny, isn't it? You do sort of go, the circling back, like I do, I could do with like,

when someone says, let's circle back in the year, I sort of go, yes, new year. But that comes really quickly at you. And we should be doing all of our circling back now. Abstract way it feels like it's absolutely fucking miles away, but it's actually like two weeks. Yeah, mad, isn't it? I don't know what Christmas does to us.

It's absolutely messing with our heads. My Christmas was like, I was saying to you before, my Christmas was, it was really nice because for lots of various different family reasons, but I was just so sick. I felt so ill, and that made me like to be honest quite depressed and and so it's really difficult to kind of snap out of it and That's a shame because what I think is is happening now

Is that I'm really looking forward to the Christmas break because I think I work quite hard and it's balancing juggling parenting as well But it's not a break because what happens is your kid gets sick from nursery and then you get sick, then your wife gets sick and then the kid gets sick again and this is endless and there's no break. But also like the sickness is in my like if the sickness is in my 20s I wouldn't feel them you know what I mean I wouldn't feel them that as much but like this time I'm going to the doctors to buy steroids to get steroids and buy steroids from doctors I mean I pay for my prescriptions but that's not a doctor don't go back there it's a veterinarian

it's a veterinarian imagine like do you reckon there must be doctors out there I mean obviously there's loads of terrible doctors selling shit steroids but you know how many doctors do you reckon just go okay so yeah what I'm gonna do is um you've clearly got this this this this issue I'm going to prescribe you this, this and this, and I think, you know, take it through to its conclusion, you know, twice a day or whatever. And that's 140 pounds. Oh, what, now?

Yeah, and how many people just go, oh, okay, yeah. Weirdly, I'd say an NHS doctor's surgery for the, you know, it won't delight the YouTube commenter from last week's show on Monday's show rather. You've really taken that to heart and it saddens me to see it. I don't want to see you take that to heart. You need to bounce that off mate. The Monday YouTube commenter. You know the countless sort of hoops and sort of obstacles I go through for the process for achieving baby status. One of them was a pretty standard sort of health check basically, you know, check your weight height and maybe a blood test or a weaning test and stuff.

What for you? For me, I'm Sarah. And it was a hundred quid, I think, 120 quid for both of us. And we had to give the doctor, an NHS doctor, 120 quid in cash. It's mad that, innit? That's a bit mad. That felt- What will they do with it? That felt naughty.

I don't know. The GG's, I don't bloody know. It's just weird giving it to this lovely doctor. It was really weird when I went to, I think I told everyone this, but a couple of years ago now, I went to the doctor because I had a pain in my chest. It turned out to be like a musculoskeletal thing.

But to be honest, I think it was when, I think I'm right in saying that everything was under a lot of pressure because it was post-COVID stuff. It was just impossible to get seen. So I went private and I paid out of my own pocket. And it was obviously great. I actually was really happy with the care and it was a decent experience and stuff. But there's something very weird about like in the waiting room afterwards, just handing over bundles of money. Do you know what I mean? It's like, this is what it could be like all the time. Yeah. Was it cash? What you you had cash cash no you've obviously paid by card but it seems like a weird obviously doing cat think they've got a will barrow of cash in there and say oh yeah to be honest around here like cash is king like everyone's everyone's got

50s you are not seeing a freaking consultant cardiologist who said to you listen darson i'm pleased to see you but cash is king boy monkey so. Drop that monkey into my wallet mate. Yeah look at your ticker boy. But it's going to cost you a monkey. It's not good for the reputation. I think if the professor I saw saw someone handing over like a wheelbarrow of cash he'd be like this is not good for business. It's good for term. No, I've got to launder that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, so, so you got to, um, yeah, you gotta be, you gotta be careful with those things. Um, yeah, I, I can't remember what we were talking about now, but anyway, um, I think the, um, the, what's interesting is I think that, you know, people think of January as being ultimately quite a bleak and, dare I say, depressing month.

You've got to be careful using terms like depressing and stuff, because people do have genuine depression and stuff. But you understand what I mean. But actually, in the situation I'm currently in, I kind of see it as, well, it's just closer to spring and people aren't going to be sick. I mean, get outside and do stuff. And that's actually going to be a lot better. So whereas before, I quite liked the nights drawing in and the kind of cold

winter months. You love the autumn. You love the old spice lattes and heavy jackets. I'm just saying I'm frightened a bit now. The darkness of my home. The darkness of my home yeah. So maybe sooner rather than later we'll be out and about for the nicer weather. But before I move on entirely Peter, can I just chuck something in here that I wasn't able to use when I rambled recording earlier today? Oh right, okay, yeah, yeah. So we did the mailbag, we recorded a mailbag episode.

Right. And it was about, to be honest I can't actually remember what it was about, but for some reason Eddie the Eagle was mentioned. Do you remember Eddie the Eagle? I do remember Eddie the Eagle, He was a good, bad... Why did he even get involved in the first place? Well, so people who were listening from different country wouldn't know that Eddie the Eagle I think was the first and only British ski jumper. Right.

And he was terrible. But he was like self-funded and self-taught and everything. Yeah. And, but I found out when looking into him, that he was actually a downhill skier, right? And downhill skiing is a lot more competitive in the UK than perhaps people think. Yeah.

And he couldn't get, he really wanted to go to the Winter Olympics, but he couldn't get anywhere near it as a downhill skier. Yeah. So he thought, what's the opposite of downhill? No, it's not the opposite. He's going down it. Up sky. He's going up the sky, isn? No, it's not the opposite, he's going down it. Up sky, he's going up the sky isn't he?

He's not really though is he? He's going up the sky for a bit. I mean that's not the business end because the business end is when you absolutely platter yourself on the way down. I know what you're going for there but if you don't mind me saying I think you fell short. Tortured. Much like a new eagle. Yeah, anyway so he knew he wasn't getting anywhere nearer to the downhill skiing bit.

And by the way, this might even be covered in the movie, I've not seen it. So this might not be a big revelation, but it was interesting to me. But he found out in that process that there were literally zero registered ski jumpers in Britain. And so all he had to do was register at one, go to a tournament cup or whatever in Germany I think it was, successfully do a ski jump. Well he didn't even need to kind of... Well he came 55th but what that meant was he was the highest ranking British one so

he got in the British team and that's how it happened. Now I fully concede this might have been covered in the bar pick about his life I've not seen it I'll probably never watch it I'm assuming most people listen to this I haven't seen it either I thought that was an interesting way of going about things and so if you if you really can't think creatively about things it doesn't get in the way that you're shit at something in fact a picture is a testament to that yeah that's a good point actually I mean I think the I think but I think it's always it's like I think it's a good point actually, I mean I think the, I think, but I think it's always, it's like, I think it's a little bit like nerds who go to, like, places like Japan and stuff,

of which, obviously I am one, but also I'm, I'm, you know, I talk about Japan and all that silly nonsense pretty much every week. And you do, when you walk around Japan you do see lads who are nerdaphiles in their own country, absolutely, you know, no one would talk to them. And they go out there and they think that they're this wonderful, rare little fruit. Am I being unfair to say that I think automatically when you say that I think of them as perverts? Yeah, I think that's fair. I think there's a certain aspect to that. So I think it's thinking about things and sort of going, where am I going to be rare?

Where am I going to be the rarest? Where can I achieve? Because they have more... Where would I be the rarest then? Where should I go? I think you'd have to be... Because you look quite sort of Scandinavian. It's going to be Africa.

It's just going to have to be Africa, my friend. Or maybe South America or something. It's just gonna have to be Africa my friend It's not what what country is Africa well, well choose a country down down you choose a country I've asked you to do it. All right do Kenya then actually not Kenya. It's very British job, not Kenya So I've asked you to name one country you said not Kenya Nigeria, let's do leg on Let's do Luke Ian Lagos. It a perfect YouTube trope. Lukian Lagos, live and life. People would watch it. Watching your skin burn in the sunshine, lovely. It's funny you said like South America because I instantly thought of myself getting really exhausted like at altitude in Peru. Can you imagine at me and laughing at me. Oh, can you imagine? With my lungs, can you imagine that? I can't even handle literal

sea level. You'd be puking. You'd be puking. All over the place. Awful stuff. I'd love to see you in South America doing like, I'd love to see the Indiana Jones game that I promised to myself I would play over Christmas, but didn't manage to really. I'd like to say looking Raiding like Mayan temples and stuff for Video game not in real life not in real life for crying out loud. You scared spiders to cry out loud Yeah, Jones is snakes isn't it

Yeah, that's why you know the mindset at the moment in the new year after the exhausting winter I've had so far... You want to go and raid a tomb? No, I don't want to go anywhere at any point. I just can't be bothered to do anything. Right, okay. I mean that is depression. That does sound like... That does sound a bit more serious. I don't want to do anything.

I don't want to go anywhere. No, I mean obviously... Is it not just like before times you'd get a suitcase, you'd fill it with stuff, you'd get your passport and then you got away wherever you needed to be. Now, with your new situation, and my situation, everything is way more complicated. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's how I feel.

I feel as though I agree with you. I massively agree with you. Let me clarify. Obviously, I'm not saying I don't want to ever do anything. I mean, of course, for example, I came into work today, and it was fine, and I'm pleased to be here. I enjoy my job, so that's great. But I mean there's a difference between that Peter and Packing a trip to fucking Peru Peru. Well, it sounds a bit you've got me hiking some kind of Inca trail

Well, I mean it sounds very much like it's a it's a reverse Paddington All you need is some marmalade sandwiches and an off you go. It will be a piece of bread with marmalade on each side But which is harder to carry. Yeah, that would make such you to carry. You'd have to wrap it in wax paper, you'd unwrap it and then you'd have to lick the wax paper to get any marmalade off it. I mean you're just a man in an airport. I think the way that I specifically feel to put a real fine point in it is that yes I do want to go and see Machu Picchu but I just want to be there. I don't want to do all the other stuff. I just want to wake up and be there. I don't want to do and see Machu Picchu. Yeah, but I just want to be there. Yeah, I don't want to do the other stuff I just want to wake up and be there. I don't do the other stuff. You've never been a keen air portman from my perspective though

No, I'm not really I'm better at that these days Basically because I'll be I'll be totally honest with everyone listening Because I made a bit of money and now I can use the lounge like I don't mind it as much Do you know like lounges like that? The food is very Some brown meat in a bowl. Is it better than plain food? Oh yeah, it's always going to be better than plain food. Then that's it, isn't it?

But if you're on a long journey, what, is there a lounge on the plane? No, of course, you've got to take stuff in you. There was a man who'd, who I saw on TikTok, that had found it's way on Instagram, I don't watch TikTok, but there was a man and he's going, hey guys, I am a, I think he's like a, he's a, he's a diet man. He's like one of those kind of like long, long haired diet men who talk about eating raw meat and you know, eating meat basically.

So I'm running them around now. It's not something I would have predicted when the internet started. No, it's just too, too much of everything and everyone's got an angle. Have a normal meal and put your top on. How are they finding new angles about stuff? How are they finding new angles? I'm going to be the man who just walks around the streets with a stocking on my head. Is he going to take a sawed-off shot, got it into a bank?

No, he's just a stocking head man, that's what he is. He puts a stocking on his head, he walks around. That's it. They've all got their tops off, haven't they? Oh, because that's what he is he puts a stocking on his head he walks around that's it. They've all got the tops off haven't they? Oh well because you know that's their stocking tray they they they pump their body full of Trent and steroids and and then they just pretend that they've been eating egg whites and stuff yeah but this guy was on a flight and he'd he was basically filming himself going hi guys I've just been served this disgusting meal on this airline and I would never eat this.

And so like he's got like a usual kind of like you know chicken monstrosity and a yoghurt and you know the usual kind of plate meal. And he's brought two massive packs of basically supermarket smoked salmon. Which is... Oh, that is outrageous. Which, you know, at altitude you probably can't smell as bad as on the ground, but it's still a little bit anti-social anyway. And he's basically, he's going, I'm not going to eat any of this, I'm going to eat this.

And he's got two massive packs of salmon. See you guys later. And it's just like what are you doing? Anyway, but like he's the woman's gone around and she said do you want any of the food? And he said yes I do and he's put it down and then he's just filming himself eating it. Such a prick. Such a prick. You don't have to take that. You've got to have tactics and you've got to understand that it's probably not that easy to prepare plain food. Like, you know, so, so, you know, I would say that when I fly back overnight from Boston or New York, I'll eat beforehand. I'm not always in the lounge. I've been a little bit, a little bit,

a bit cheeky. Yeah, cheeky there. You're an influencer. I'm not in the lounge. I'll get a decent meal at the airport, at a proper restaurant. And I'll just say, I don't want the food. Thanks. But, but do you though, because I have the proper meal thinking the same thing then the food comes round maybe I'll have a little look maybe I've eaten it all maybe I've got stomachache because I've eaten too much food maybe that's what's happened maybe there does need to be someone on board with some more steroids because my lungs are no good, my insides are all raw.

My lungs can't take it. Oh dear. I just feel like, I just think that, you know, you go on the internet now, there's a lot of people boasting about stuff with their tops off. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. I don't know where it comes from. It reminds me of that, that's just a fucking obscure reference, I'm not even going to mention

that. Let's have a break. When we come back, we'll do some emails because I've got a few, I'm not even going to mention that. Let's have a break, when we come back we'll do some emails. I don't want to get people too excited, but stick around, because the other side of this, we've got quite a lot of emails from Grimsby. Oooh, the film of the town. Is the look of Pete Shaw man United better than league table suggests? That's what it says on the BBC website, that's Arnaud Slott there. If only we had a way to properly determine how good a

team was across like a long period. I think it should be like remember Nightmare where there'd be like an avatar of your face and the more damage you took parts of your helmet would fall off, then your skin, then your bones, and then I think you'd just be a skull at the end. And then that skull would crush itself and die. YouTube compilation of the TV series Nightmare are really good. Oh they, right, okay. It's kind of, it's almost like surprising that the show existed. I think if you try to explain to someone the way they did it using the technology they've

got and it was actually really compelling, people wouldn't be buying it now. If you're selling it these days, people wouldn't be buying it. If they did a reboot of it now, it'd be rubbish. Well everyone was gagging for a video game like Tomb Raider or Dark Souls. People would be gagging for a 3D experience. So to see that, prime time ITV kids telly watching Nightmare, and if you want to Google it, it's K-Nightmare as a night... It's like a nightmare but with a K.

Nightmare with a K. And yeah, it was just bloody cool. It was just bloody cool. And you had like these kind of RFC actors hamming it up for the cameras. They were great though. They were great though, fantastic. They're basically the people you see outside the London dungeon trying to tempt you in.

Yeah, but four years older. But in an environment where you don't care. It's not getting in your way. They were good stuff. See also by the way, they've brought back Ball's Eye. That doesn't work. It doesn't work now because it's two people are it's two people are too in on the joke now. Are they, is Bullseye one of those things that they're bringing back because the darts is so popular at the moment?

I have no idea but it's been on ITV and it's been presented by Andrew Flintoff who was terrible. Right okay. I know he's got his problems, I don't mean to kick the guy when he's down, I know he's in it really tough and I do genuinely wish him all the best, he's not a presenter of a game show. No, okay. I know he's got his problems, I don't mean to kick the guy when he's down, I know he's in it really tough and I do genuinely wish him all the best. He's not a presenter of a game show. No, no. I think we should be able to have some honest and frank conversation. Part of my job, Pete, as you well know, is sitting down with people who have quite high

opinions of themselves about podcasts and telling them sometimes they can't do it. Right. Because it's not going to work. Yeah, but every week I turn up and you've said it so many times. I don't see why a well-paid executive at a TV production company can't say to whoever, Andrew Flintoff can't do this. So let's stop him doing it. Bring Jim back. And let's find somebody who can do it.

Jim Boyne hasn't died, has he? I think he's dead a long time ago. He's dead. He's dead. You also used to, I mean you can say what you like about him now because he died in, he died in, let me just check, in 2018. You had him labeled as a kind of old-fashioned racist type mate. Well he came on the radio and said the word JIPPOL and the gypsy cows in Great Britain are on it.

The gypsy gals in Great Britain are on it, let's say. Right, whoa, steady. Can I, can I? No, we can't move on from that. Right, okay. Actually, look, because I want to re-up at least a portion of this conversation, because what I said to introduce Jim Bowen to the Luke and Peach show, Ouvret, is I said, I caught an episode of Bullseye from about 1984, really late on TV once, and what was interesting to me was to hear someone who had genuine life experience and proper jobs and stuff talk to working-class people

from provincial Britain about how things are going with the strike in Nottingham and how the jobs are down there, you know, how people are getting on and it be authentic and it was unimaginable now for a TV host to be able to do that. And then he said some racist stuff as well. He wasn't really, well I mean famously at one point he had a black lady from Birmingham on and I think he must have said, but where are your parents from three or four times? You know that kind of 1970s kind of stuff.

But yeah I mean he wasn't really razzle-dazzle. He was a working-class comedian, I suppose, wasn't he? That was his kind of, that was his shtick. That was one of the rare kind of working-class, heavy-smoking voices of the 1970s. Yeah, and I've just looked him up further and actually fired from BBC Radio Lancashire in 2002 for a racial epithet, so there we go.

There we go. That makes a little 2002 for a racial epithet. So there we go. Place case closed. What makes a little bit of fun an epithet? I never see the word epithet when it's not next to racial. There's no other... Yeah, what is the dictionary definition of epithet? What is an epithet? I don't know.

It's an adjective. Yeah, yeah. It's an adjective. It sums something up. It's an adjective or phrase expressing a quality or attribute recorded as a characteristic of the person or thing mentioned. Old men are often unfairly awarded the epithet dirty. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha A lovely example from Google. Thank you. Thank you Google. Anyway, that's enough on Jim Bowen.

That's enough on Jim Bowen. Imagine we've got a dartboard and we're not throwing darts at the dartboard, we're throwing batteries. Double A cells. Oh fuck, I forgot we've got to do batteries. We've got to do batteries. I also promised some emails from Grimsby. Fuck it now, We've got a pack a lot in of these last few minutes. We do. Yeah, just a couple morning both with a child Will come the Christmas toy battery barrage attaches a Kendall double a this is fucking Ken Vagans shots again It's Ken Vargan shots.

Great Ringo. What's a lot of Thomas the Tank back in the day? Yeah. Bondiq cells from Stephen. They are brand new players. Congratulations to you, Stephen. Well done. Great start.

Great start. Yeah, we're the winner. Sorry about what Kent did. Sorry about what Kent did. Sorry about what Kent did. Let's squeeze these emails in from Grimsby because it's a much anticipated and much needed, I think it's fair to say, Grimsby home fry follow up pair of emails.

So the first one's from Callum who says, first of all, congratulations to Mr. Donaldson on his adoption. Thank you. It makes it sound like you've been adopted by like a bigger boy. Yeah, that's right. I was adopted by the darkness some time ago. You found your forever home, Peter.

When I emailed about home frying some fish, I didn't think it would have gotten so much traction. So Callum is claiming to be the originator of this. And I can't remember if he is or not. I'm going to let him have it. He says, so in answer to the age question, I'm 30 years old and have lived in Grimsby my entire life. I was told to take the fish down to my local chippy, which is Wybers for anyone local, but my old man, I was questioning it at first, but the chipman took it with no hesitation. Another local chippy I know for certain that does home fries, Russell's. So use those recommendations as you see fit if you're in Grimsby.

Russell's. I do plan on email you see fit if you're in Grimsby. Russell's. I do plan on emailing again to talk about the Commonwealth of Massachusetts when I return from the States in the new year. Thanks as always for your unhinged podcasts. Callum, so we look forward to hearing further stuff from Callum. Then this one from Dylan as well. I'll just do it as a set. He says, hi gents, I've emailed him a couple of times, most notably showing you a clip

of a duck saying, you bloody fool. I don't remember that, but it sounds funny. I'm 29 and was born and raised in Grimsby until leaving for university in Shifford in 2015 where I still am today. I have first hand witnessed an elderly gentleman in his 70s go into my local chip shop, which is Mark Lewis on Middlethorpe Road, for your information. This is the only time I've seen this happen and I personally have never brought a home fry, but I felt privileged to witness it happen in person. The gentleman handed a fillet of fish that he had caught from Cleethorpes Beach in the Humber estuary in about 2010.

Have a great Christmas and New Year. Congratulations to Pete and Sarah for a lovely and truly heartwarming parenthood story. Best wishes, Dylan. So there's two pieces of really solid evidence of home fries happening in different fish and chip shops in Grimsby. And Peter, I would just say off the back of those two, how many chip shops are there in Grimsby? Yeah, awesome. Awesome amount of mad fish shops in Grimsby. I'd also say I'm very much enjoying the idea that someone takes a fish straight from the water into the batter, like

within seconds. I mean, that's Keith Floyd drinking a bottle of wine on the side of a harbour, isn't it really? That's the kind of speed we're talking about. I realised when I read the email, I made it sound like he took a fish fillet into the chip shop in 2015 that he had caught in 2010, which I hope isn't the case. No, I hope not. No amount of battering would fix that problem. There's some big player energy about catching your fish and just wandering down to the chip shop.

You've got to put it in yourself though, that's the problem. Yeah, yeah it is. Andrew from my Facebook Ramble listener, he was in Hartlepool, visiting Hartlepool recently and apparently the Joanna's fish bar that I mentioned either on the Ramblin' Cut With You or this short apparently isn't there anymore it's now a Halal mini market. It's over the road from where I got my first tattoo. That's history that, it should be a blue plaque. That's history.

They can't still be there they were very old. Time waits for no man or beast Peter I'm afraid. And it doesn't wait for us certainly we're out of here. I've got steroid cotton mouth I can't speak. We'll be back very very soon indeed but in the meantime look after yourselves and each other and if you're feeling a bit horny do email us. Hello at LukePeggio.com. Some of, what is that? Luke showed me.

How do you picture a house on a garage with a tree in the garden? Luke, is that your dream home? A two, like no windows at the bottom, two windows at the top, sort of detached house with a little garage and a little tree outside. It's impressionist. It's impressionist, it is, yeah.

I might elaborate on it later. Dreams and aspirations for Luke. I might elaborate it later. Dreams and aspirations will look good. See you later. Bye. The Luke and Pete Show is a stack production and part of the A-Cast Creator Network.
