Thank you. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Why is, you know, when you usually speak, air goes over some vocal cords, and that's absolutely fine.
But going...
Different use of the lungs and the vocal cords, innit?
You're a disgusting human being.
What have you got against throats?
Sunshine.
I do actually have a bad throat.
Well, what happened?
I don't know.
What happened?
I think I had a dream where I was karate kicked in the windpipe.
I don't know.
Did you?
It just really hurts.
Windpipe.
Get in there.
My uncle.
Windpipe.
It's not just a windpipe.
I also use it
for consuming hot dogs.
Do I?
My uncle used...
No, that's the difference.
Is the windpipe
basically the bit that...
Could you not use...
What's the mouth then?
Does that not count as part of the windpipe?
Terrible first day for medical training for you, this.
Anyone got any questions?
No.
I've got a few.
I've got a few.
You're up in court.
You are supposed to be a respected surgeon.
Mr. Moore, are you absolutely sure you want to proceed with this expert witness?
Yes, I fucking do.
What is a windpipe?
Let him cook.
So I think you're getting confused between the trachea and the esophagus, aren't you? Yeah, but no. Yes, I fucking do. What is a windpipe? Let him cook. So I think you're getting confused
between the trachea and the esophagus, aren't you?
Yeah, but no.
Famously separate compartments.
Of what?
The neck?
Well, yeah, I guess so.
That's the broad...
But surely windpipe includes
everything past the tongue as well,
because it's still a pipe that gives you wind.
Yeah.
I think you revolutionised modern science
with this kind of chat, mate.
I just think we should stop pissing about with two pipes
and just let the food and air go where it wants to go.
A cost-cutting measure.
Exactly.
Yeah, more efficient.
Why don't we mash them both together?
Yeah, absolutely.
Like a double-decker bar.
Is there not a flap?
I believe there's a flap involved.
Right.
A valve that stops saying both things.
Do you have a valve on your lung bit?
Do you have a valve on your lung bit and do you have a valve
on your stomach?
Probably that's the
default hell slide
isn't it?
And the cock and balls.
And the cock and balls.
It's the piss versus
spunk conundrum
isn't it?
Oh so the stomach
just basically goes
Stomach doesn't do
any of it.
It's like that bit
in not Muppet Babies
Sesame Street
where it goes
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
I probably late 70s referenced that one,
but it did run until about mid-90s.
The ball sort of flapping around in like a pinball machine.
What, for the stomach?
Yeah.
I'm talking about the cock and balls now, though.
Okay.
Well, yeah, I mean, that's connected, isn't it?
It's all connected, mate.
I remember in biology,
you had to trace an oxygen atom into a muscle.
Like an oxygen atom in the air, or it's CO2 or whatever,
and you had to trace how it gets into your muscles and what it does.
And I spent ages on that.
The teacher was impressed with my work.
What did you get?
Instantly forgot about it, clearly.
Yeah.
I probably had to mention the windpipe at some point.
I think that you, what was your science GCSE, Mark?
It was a B.
It was combined science.
I did combined science.
I got a B as well.
There you go.
I did double science combined.
Yeah, it was for the people who didn't want to do...
It would have been so useful to know a bit more.
In America, right, this is what would have really helped me.
You get taught how to do your taxes
and also used to be able to...
Car repair was one of the lessons.
I've only got on the Wi-Fi I have access to,
and I'm going to answer no to both those things.
I've got to do this again!
Yeah.
If my wife knows how to fix a car, which she may do,
she'd know a lot more than me.
She'd get that from her dad, not from her...
You get driving lessons, don't you,
at some universities and colleges in America.
But certainly, they used to have a lesson
where you could fix your own car,
which would be really useful.
People are really sort of naive about car repair, I think.
I totally agree.
Including me.
There's a lot of practical things that you can certainly learn.
I found that...
I've got a lot to unpack here,
so I'll just get through as quick as I can.
I think a lot of people confuse quite and quite America
with the kind
of federalist system
they've got where it
does vary by state so
you can do certain
things in certain
states you can't do
in other states but
an example would be
you know you ride your
motorbike in say
Connecticut you have
to well you may not
have to wear a helmet
you've you know ride
up north to
Massachusetts and you
may have to wear a
helmet so you gotta
keep a helmet on top
of you take it off
again just paint your
head like a helmet
yeah you should do that or wear a watermelon tattoo a helmet. So you've got to keep a helmet on top of you. You take it off again. Just paint your head like a helmet. Yeah, you should do that.
Or wear a watermelon.
Tattoo a helmet.
Yeah, just...
Basically, what you want to do...
Dangerous stuff.
In Connecticut, when you've got to wear the helmet,
I'm making this up, but it's an example.
Wear the watermelon.
Yes.
When you get into Massachusetts,
you cross the state line,
get it off,
help yourself to a lovely snack,
back into Vermont,
get it on your bonce again.
Yeah.
It would stink, wouldn't it, after a while?
You would attract really fast wasps.
Yeah, you would.
You absolutely would.
And the other thing I was going to say is just that
when I went back to university as an older gentleman,
I did find it quite interesting how little attention was paid
to the younger students about the shit they're going to have to know and do
when they go into the world of work.
And that's a really old person thing to say,
and it's quite boring.
And Pete, you know me to be this kind of boring guy.
Freshers do retire to my room,
and I'll tell you all about it.
It wasn't that.
I didn't have a room.
It was a van.
Yeah.
And they just do not hold themselves up to a high enough standard for the working world,
in my view.
Okay.
Because they're not told to, because they don't know any better.
Well, we didn't.
So, probably.
Definitely.
Not probably, definitely.
You're exactly the same.
I'll run a pretty tight ship.
The example would be, Pete, and you probably wouldn't care about this.
For example, you go to a two hour seminar.
Yeah.
You've paid to be there.
Yes.
Right.
Um,
and it's only about 10,
12 people in there for the seminar,
not a big lecture.
And a couple of people just wander in 45 minutes after it starts.
Yes.
Halfway through everything that's happening.
Yeah.
Everyone's already been separated into groups.
The main,
the main presentations happen.
You're doing stuff.
Yeah.
And they just wander in,
dump their bag down.
In your view, should the professor be saying what you're doing stuff, and they just wander in, dump their bag down. In your view,
should the professor
be saying, what
are you doing?
Or should he just
let them carry on,
which mostly they
did?
But I would say
that the mature
students that were
certainly on my
course would very
much be the ones
sitting at the
front of the
lecture hall asking
all the questions.
I'm obviously there.
Slowing me up.
I mean, the younger
people who just
turn up later.
That's what I mean.
I just want to get out of there.
Like, but you remember what you were like at university.
Yeah.
You would have been exactly the same.
Yeah.
I didn't go to, I still have.
That HND in media studies didn't come by itself.
I still have.
Happens of Nash destruction.
I would say that when you sort of go into those,
I mean, I still have fever dreams
where I have to attend three classes
before the end of the semester
or else they just don't let me enter the exam.
If only you were having those nightmares about library fine.
Exactly, yeah.
No, I think for me it was different
because the first time I got involved
it was just a box tick and I did it and it was easy.
And I didn't actually find,
the second time around
was much harder
and was a much better university
and a much better qualification
and I just think that,
you know,
in that example
with those younger guys
turning up late
and not really knowing
what the fuck's going on
and half of them
not turning up to any of them,
even though they've paid
and even though
that they've been accepted
because their grades
are good or whatever,
it's just like,
you're just fucking wasting your time.
That's why,
I don't want to tell people they're wrong
or be an old man about it,
but you're basically wasting your time.
You're going to do that,
you might as well just go and work for a year
and say to potential employees,
I've got a year's work experience,
rather than,
I went to a good university,
flunked out on my Masters
because I didn't fucking turn up
and it cost me 11 grand.
Well, most people are going to go,
well, you're a fucking idiot then.
So that was a Masters course?
Yes.
So everyone was in the Masters course?
Do you know anything about me?
No, but like,
I'm just saying that like...
Yeah, it was in the Masters course, yeah.
So I'm just saying,
but could it have been a module
that people who were undergraduates also had?
That's what I'm saying.
No.
Right.
You have to be a...
You can't get onto it without that.
Chris Masters from To Catch a Predator,
was he in there?
He wasn't there, no.
Take a seat, sir.
I actually, I was surprised
because when I turned up
it didn't actually turn out
to be the Masters
snooker tournament
I got knocked out
in the first round
couldn't put a break
of more than 20 together
it's embarrassing
it'll be 8-0
by Ronnie O'Sullivan
letting everyone down
can't happen to everyone
though Ronnie is very good
Peter
what's been going on
with you
so you've got the
big recording trousers
on today
the big recording trousers I've. The big recording trousers on?
I've put a post on the Luke and Pete
show Instagram for people who want to see them. For those
who aren't of that persuasion. Whoa, hang on.
Where did you take a picture of me? You signed all your rights away.
You signed them all away. We haven't got a
little poster up saying
that you
might be filmed in this facility.
That's not fair. I think all the cameras do give it
away. I hope you're on time for your cock kiss. Not 40 That's not fair. I think all the cameras do give it away.
I hope you're on time for your cock kiss.
I did.
Not 40 minutes late for that.
I did say to you when we first started doing this show,
one of the riders for me,
one of the deal breakers for me,
if you and I are doing this,
is I want to do whatever I want,
whenever I want to do it.
Okay.
And I think I got you a particularly weak point and you said yes.
Yeah.
Anyway,
for those who aren't of the Instagram persuasion,
allow me to
fill you in they're a pair of very shiny they are very shiny red cheap with a blue leopard print
very very i don't mean to be rude i'm not in a position to speak about this kind of stuff
very freely i don't think they used to be that tight uh have you been they probably were tighter
someone's not been skipping leg day but can tell you what I can see every
every nook and cranny
you can obviously see my tattoos through it
I can but they've almost gone translucent
they're so tight
it's like when Homer Simpson wipes
a really greasy
sort of hot dog I think on a wall
and it goes see through
it's like that
what's the weekend brought
that's made you want to start the Monday,
start the week with those trousers?
I had a mate stay in,
so the room I get dressed in
just had a lot of stuff in it.
The room I get dressed in.
The room I get dressed in.
You're not endearing yourself
to people listening.
What do you mean?
The room I get dressed in?
Most people don't have a dressing room, mate.
I didn't say I had a dressing room. I said the front room. The room I get dressed in. The room I get dressed in? Most people don't have a dressing room, mate. I didn't say I had a dressing room. I said the front room.
The room I get dressed in.
The room I get dressed in. My car.
Which some people call the garden.
Some people call it a Jaguar XF.
Yeah.
2014.
Still rocking the two dope rides?
The dope ride in question that's come from Japan,
passed its MOT at the weekend.
Fantastic. So we can do an episode from the car.
Not quite yet because certain
certain
just park agreements
have not been kept
by the people
who offered me
a parking space
they said it's a
lovely big parking space
and behind a garage
and I was like
right
how much are you paying for it
I paid about 70 quid for it
and it
I couldn't fit the car in
because it's so long
and capacious
amazing
what a capacious vehicle
so then I
so then I then I park it
on someone else's drive
that I've rented.
But that means
I can't tinker
for the time in which
it takes to get registered.
And I certainly can't
record anything
on someone else's driveway.
That would be mental.
Look, I'm going to
Lanzarote later this week.
Oh, yes please.
When I come back
I want to be in that car.
You want to be in that car.
Well, I hope you take
a six week holiday
because that's how long
the DVLA take to register a car.
Our audience is demanding it. Right, okay.
We need to do it. Need to do it. I need to be in the back
of that car, my feet up,
talking about the plush interior and
why it smells so much of cigarettes.
Well, I mean, the MOT man did say,
I'll level with you, it's a bit of a
mess.
He said, I'll level with you,
it's a bit of a mess it's hand built
though
you know
Toyota engineers
have to work
their whole lives
to get the chance
to work on just
the lacquer
on the paint
apparently it is
but this one's
a bit of a mess
but none of them
can build cars
we've just got all
the painters
to do the wiring
looms
he's still past it
though
he passed it but that doesn't mean I'm not going to have trouble further down the line we've just got all the painters to do the wiring looms. He's still part of it. He's still past it, though.
He passed it,
but I mean,
that doesn't mean I'm not going to have trouble
further down the line.
I think I've figured out
what it was.
I've figured out.
I think I've figured out
how to fix the thing
that needs to be fixed.
It feels to me
the system's broken
if he's literally calling you up
saying that and saying,
well, that's a pass.
Yeah, well, it is a pass.
It's just not dangerous.
MRT just tells you
whether your car's dangerous or not.
Right.
It's dangerous to know.
It depends who's handling
the little beast
yeah
so I am
so I've got a little driveway
I need to get it
on another driveway
but I don't have
the legal
deniability
to get it on
another driveway
so I
I'll sort this
right
hello at lukeandpeacher.com
can you get me some
tread plates
within five
miles
nautical or otherwise right of Pete Donaldson's house,
and you have a drive to donate to a man who, let's be fair, we all know this.
I can get a drive.
I just need to tinker.
Let me finish my appeal.
Let me tinker.
You would have heard Pete's output over the last however many years.
You know as well as I do, everyone, he's struggling.
He's struggling he's struggling
big time
he's struggling
existentially
I drove past the car
I drove past the car
he's struggling
mentally
I drove past the car
he's struggling
sartorially
the man is struggling
in every way
possible
and that's why
I've written a book
My Struggle
by Pete Donaldson
he's on Stephen Bartlett
week Monday
I'm on Stephen Bartlett I think a book like My Struggle, by Pete Donaldson. He's on Stephen Bartlett, week Monday.
I think a book like My Struggle would be on a different podcast.
It sure would.
Speaking of which, actually, Peter,
now I'm going to take this under advice because I haven't actually read the deep dive yet.
Right.
But one of the guys who is in the ballpark, shall we say,
of your Stephen Bartlett's of this world, of this world,
has been the subject of a deep dive long read.
Okay.
Is, of course, your friend and mine, Jay Shetty,
who does a lot of this stuff,
and people pay him a lot of money for all this self-help business.
Who'd have thought people in the self-help sphere
were potentially problematic?
Not me.
No, not me.
Apparently Jay Shetty's
have been the subject
of this huge,
he's big in podcasting,
of course.
He's been the subject
of a huge long read,
deep dive by the Guardian
over in the US,
I think.
All right.
A lot of stuff's been going on.
Well worth having a look.
Google that and give it a read.
Peter,
I hope you don't go down
that road yourself
after your
struggles with your car tip you quite literally,
mentally, over the edge.
You turn into some kind of
Huttler-Pudley-ian Tony Robbins.
Yeah, I mean, like,
I think there's...
That's Tony Robbins, the self-help guy,
not Tony Robbins who's been the subject of quite a lot of
accusations that were quite unsavoury.
Which one's the other one? I don't know who the other
Tony Robbins is, to be honest.
Who's Blackadder?
Listen to what I'm saying.
What I mean is, you could become the Hartler Pudley
and Tony Robbins. The self-help part,
not the part about the touching.
Okay. The
duality of man there. It's one man.
Right, okay. Could he not
self-help himself not to do bad
stuff he could self-help himself could he not could he not yourself yeah doctor heal thyself
yeah um i think that i would be a good self-help guru but it would mainly uh i'd be saying sentences
like just stop doing it yeah do you know what i mean have you started doing it yeah have you
thought about not doing that go for a run that seems to be a lot of because i you know i hear a lot of like um
sort of self-help podcasty sort of stuff and it seems to be go for a run you're here for a good
time not a long time don't go out searching for i don't think they say that today don't go out
searching for that to an addict no but like i think self-help podcasts certainly and that kind of space
it's sort of
separated in three ways
if the podcast
seems to skew
female
depressingly
they always just talk about
enrich your life
with family
and friends and stuff
if it goes male
it's
get out at 5am
and rise and grind
and sell things
and then if it skews
sell things
if you are 30 and you've not got a side hustle...
Yeah, exactly.
Change your circle.
Yeah, kill yourself.
Just kill yourself.
Yeah, just all that stuff.
So it's all just...
It's just really depressingly kind of
codified into the patriarchy for me.
Yeah.
And then the third way is the grift shift
into Donald Trump is king and fascism.
Just straight fascism, basically. king and fascism just straight fascism
basically
basically authoritarian fascism
correct
and I think there are
more traditional
and perhaps more
perhaps less
labour intensive
ways of getting
into fascism
yeah
okay
just start with
the clothing
yeah
that's easier
start with a cool t-shirt
yeah
but you used to be
a bit of an edgelord yourself, Pete, didn't you?
No, I didn't used to be an edgelord.
You did.
I did not used to be an edgelord.
I say naughty things, but they're never naughty, naughty things.
You love your memes.
Love my memes, yeah?
Yeah.
That's not edgy, though, is it?
You always used to say to me...
I'll have a go at Captain Tom.
All bets are off with him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You have a big old pop at the right wing.
That's allowed, isn't it?
Yeah, I think so.
They're to be shot at.
They're the ducks in a row, aren't they?
Yeah, I think so.
Speaking of which, actually,
this brought me on nicely onto something I did over the weekend.
Not in that way.
So I have about two or three hours downtime in the evening.
Yes, okay.
Yeah, where everything's quiet in the house
and everyone's sleeping apart from me.
I probably should go to bed,
but I'm stubborn and I'm like,
I've had no time to myself today,
so I'm just going to stay up.
And yes, I'll be tired tomorrow.
Yes, okay, yeah, yeah.
But sitting around procrastinating is me time.
Yeah, just clawing back a bit of your life.
I think a lot of people will relate to that.
I think if I say to you that, for example,
I spend 90% of those evenings
finding and failing something to watch on telly
before just packing it in and going to bed, lifting up my Kindle for about five minutes,
decide I'm bored with the book and then just struggle to sleep, that's the kind of thing we're talking about.
Are you a sleep struggler then?
Not really.
At the end of the day?
No, not really.
What I find, I'm actually, having said all that, and I will come on to the main point,
but just while you've diverted me slightly, I'm actually a having said all that, and I will come on to the main point, but just while you've diverted me slightly,
I'm actually a very good sleeper.
Traditionally, it's been inbuilt in me, I think.
It's genetic or something.
My son, as a result, is a very good sleeper for his age.
Touch wood.
I mean, he'll go all the way through now,
and he's only nine and a half months, which is amazing.
And he has done for months.
Anyway, what I find, the trick to good sleep is i properly like draw a mental
circle around myself when i get into bed right and go anything else that's happening anything else
you know with the exception of my family that are immediately here yeah can't be affected or changed
by like yeah i can't do anything about it right right? So I would say You have such mental strength.
I've got a mantra
where I say
whether I'm going to be
in this bed for 10 minutes
or 10 hours
I'm going to value this time.
And if I get woken up
in 10 minutes
by my son or my wife
whatever
and I have a terrible night
I am going to value this
and I'm going to use it.
Use it as a lesson.
And the way that helps
and obviously it's never 10 minutes
but the way that actually
helps me is if I am only going to have to get about 5 hours one night and I'm going to have to pile through the as a lesson. And the way that helps, and obviously it's never 10 minutes, but the way that actually helps me is if
I am only going to have to get about 5 hours one night
and I'm going to have to pile through the next day and just get on with it,
it teaches me to value that
5 hours, and so I don't spend my time
worrying about it. I just try and switch off,
I just forget it. I can't change anything right now
and I'm generally a pretty good sleeper.
Anyway, on Saturday night,
I had nothing going on, and I
went on to iPlayer and I found this documentary
as part of the Storyville series,
which is a very, very rich theme to mine
when it comes to documentaries.
And it was about a guy who found out
that his father was essentially,
his father passed away and so he
started to find out all these things about him.
And this is set in Australia. And his
father was a
Jewish partisan
during the Second World War. So he had
his son when he was quite a lot
older, in his late 50s I believe.
And he only
knew his father as this really nice kind of
gentle older guy,
but he's got a couple of older brothers,
and all this stuff starts coming out.
Essentially, his father was a partisan in Belarus.
Do you know what a partisan is?
Basically, he was like a guerrilla fighter
against the Nazis, right, as a Jewish guy,
and so he did whatever he did to survive
and sadly lost a lot of his family in the Holocaust,
and ended up, at the end of the war,
him and his brother came to Australia.
It's called Our Dad the Nazi Killer.
And they start finding out about him.
Not only did they find out that he was a partisan during the war
and him and his brother, the guy's uncle,
was blowing up trains, Nazi trains,
all the rest of it. Pretty kind of
interesting, like,
James Bond type stuff. But he finds
out that he started that his dad founded this group called Nekoma,
which is, I think, Yiddish for revenge.
And they started compiling little dossiers in Australia
about all the Nazi war criminals that fled to Australia
and that they knew were living among them, basically,
to the point where they were living quite close,
doing the same kind of trades.
And when these Jewish guys, Holocaust survivors, among them basically to the point where they were living quite close doing the same kind of trades and when the
when these
these Jewish guys
Holocaust survivors
complained to the
Australian authorities
the Australian authorities
refused to act
they just wouldn't do anything
and by that point
everyone in the West
was obsessed with communism
and they just didn't
want to fucking do it
they just wanted to let
bygones be bygones
of course
a lot of Jewish people
completely understandably so
didn't want to let it go.
So he starts putting
together this team and he
essentially travels
well, they think, just starts
travelling around Australia killing Nazis.
He's like a real life and glorious bastard.
It was incredible to watch.
And then obviously these children, because he's
got this guy who's the main protagonist
finding out about his father.
He's got two older brothers who didn't really know much about it either.
And they start wrestling with the idea of justice and whether it's right or wrong.
The two paths in front of you, whether you kind of let things go and just let it go
and just try and live your life as much as you can, which is what he taught his kids.
You know, we're happy here now.
We've got a family.
People have survived.
You know we we we
grieve for the ones
who were killed but
we we treat every day
like it's an amazing
gift because of what
we've been through
and the other side
which is basically
fuck that yeah these
guys are cunts we're
killing as many of
them as we can because
that's what they
deserve it's a really
interesting documentary
I'd recommend it it's
on BBC iPlayer called
Our Dad the Nazi
Killer part of the
story of Il Suri which
is always excellent
anyway so I ended up watching that
and I did that thing
where you put something on it
at about 10.30.
I just give this a go
and I was absolutely gripped.
Yeah.
And before you know it,
midnight's rolled around
and you're like,
oh, Jesus.
Oh, no.
I've made myself tired again.
Yeah, but it was well worth watching, Peter.
I don't know if it'll be up your street,
but I bloody enjoyed it.
It's got no tech in it, though.
It's got no...
So you might not like it.
Well, I mean, I guess
it depends on how they met their end,
I suppose, as Nazis.
A lot of them, it was...
Guns.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
One of them, I think, was led into the forest
and made to disembowel himself.
Oh, I mean...
Yeah.
On the other hand, though, he was a Nazi.
Yeah, but I mean, that is...
Yeah, I mean, when you are wrestling with, you know,
someone hunting and killing Nazis,
that's another step forward, isn't it?
Yeah.
I think every single one of them should have,
I think you're within your rights.
I think you're well within your rights.
Yeah.
I think if you can't, it was a war, first and foremost,
millions of people died.
If you can't get stuck into some Nazis,
and I think the world's gone mad,
but you can't say anything these days.
If I can shoot rabbits, I can shoot fascists.
Yeah, as James Dean Brampton stole from someone else.
Probably some kind, I think it was someone in the Spanish Civil War off the top of my head.
It's time for the break!
By the way, speaking of the Main Street Preachers,
old Nicky Wire's doing a six music show at the moment, isn't he?
He is, he's in for...
I do listen to a lot of six music these days uh because i'm i'm i'm a little
bit fatigued with the uh you know the 90s indie stuff that most radio stations play these days
but um i find that the six music doesn't really know what it wants to be these days no it's a
fucking mess it's a fucking mess and uh everybody there's no kind of funny people on there anymore
there's just northern cheeky boys talking about this and that and then there's um kind of funny people on there anymore there's just northern cheeky boys
talking about this and that
and then there's
is it Marianne Hobbs
who's on Midmornings
she just sounds
terribly depressed
about everything
yeah so there's
Lauren's
hi I'm just
I'm just about to play a song
and I'm going to cry
it's just
it just seems
a real missed opportunity
to have someone
who's just got a bit about them and but then I find sometimes who's just it just seems a real missed opportunity to have someone who's just got a bit
about them
and
but then
I find sometimes
who's
is Lisa Tarbuck
on Radio 2
this is very
UK centric
doesn't matter
we're British
if you don't like it
if you're listening
you're locking ear
anything out of our
rotten teeth
if you're
listening to this
from another country
go fuck yourself
carry on Pete
go fuck yourself
yeah
no seriously
thanks for listening
carry on Lisa Tarbuck on Radio 2 she's the only female from another country, go fuck yourself. Carry on, Pete. Go fuck yourself. Yeah. No, seriously, thanks for listening. Carry on.
Lisa Tarbuck on Radio 2.
She's the only female
radio presenter
who's been allowed
to dick about
in history.
Can they pick their own music
on Six Music still?
I presume they have
a pretty big hand in it.
Yeah,
I think that's a problem.
The idiots have taken
over the asylum.
I think the,
I think the, I think the...
I would say that you're allowed too much kind of rope, I suppose.
Oh, right.
So you can play whatever you want.
But it just seems to be the music nerds have taken over
and they're just playing any old crap.
Not any old crap.
It's all very listenable,
but I just find there's no through line.
It's like this is what security stands for.
I find that with a lot of radio stations now, though,
because on... So six music about, what are we thinking?
Probably 10, 12 years ago had a brilliant schedule.
It was Keaveney.
It was Radcliffe and McConey, I think, at one point.
It was Gideon Coe.
He was really good.
There was about four or five shows in a row,
which were brilliant.
And I think Lauren LeVne did Midmorning now,
I think.
She was good as well.
And now it's very, very confused.
And if I go into the kitchen to stick on a bit of Six Music
while I'm cooking or whatever
at like 6pm,
you can sometimes just be
a properly pumping DJ in session
and have no idea what you're listening to.
Laverne gets away with a delicious
7-star for a breakfast show
which I think is just
no she's 8.30
isn't she
nah 7.30
7.30
that is
that is an incredible
hook flex
Keeven only got his
proper break on
on XFM
because she didn't
work Fridays
and then they had to
build this whole
kind of feature
around her
not doing Fridays
just because her agent
was really good
and went
she's not doing Fridays
right
so then they started
Fridays are different
man when I did
when I did breakfast papers
7.30
I had breakfast papers
good on her
I had to
the cab would come
for me like quarter to five
and that was just for papers
yeah
7.30 breakfast shows
are great
but anyway
Six Music
musically is a mess
I enjoy listening to it
but I think that
I don't like the way
that radio forces
women into sounding cooler than they are.
You know what I mean?
They force these voices to sort of pretend that they can only be cool.
They can't be silly.
They can't be stupid.
But Lisa Tarbuck is the only one on Radio 2 who's allowed to piss about.
I mean, on Radio 2, speaking of that, I mean, Jeremy Vine's not cool.
He's not cool.
Well, again, his show's, you know, vault fasters all over them.
It's like the one show.
Yeah, but I think people need to have a proper
kind of thoughtful sit down about the Radio 2 thing
because you've got Vernon Kaye
handing over to Jeremy Vine,
handing over to Spoonie,
sitting in for Scott Mills.
What's going on?
Scott Mills.
No one listening outside of the UK
will even know where any of these people are.
How would you describe Spoonie, Pete?
He was a garage DJ, wasn't he?
DJ Spoonie?
Came through in the garage era, I think.
Then became a professional Man United fan for a while.
Man United fan, right.
Professional Man United fan for a while.
Got an agent who we use sometimes, and she is always trying to get him to come and work here.
Right, okay.
That won't be happening.
Okay.
Probably too expensive.
I think DJ Spoonie was
on when, I think
John Peel died. Oh, was he?
And he was doing some...
It was akin to when I had
to do an hour long dedicated to
Prince when he died. What, no prep?
No prep. Didn't know what was going on.
Didn't really have
a handle on what was happening
stick the whole purple rain on
that's a concept Alan
found it hard to
elicit the gravitas
that the
the moment needed
so to speak
but yeah
it's another one
do you find it
so the toughest
rodeo assignment
I ever had
was on Talk Sport
on my show
on the 7 till 10
on Friday nights
about quarter to 7
the news broke that
UEFA had,
um,
banned Manchester city from the champions league for two years.
Okay.
Right.
Yeah.
But it broke at like 12 minutes before seven.
And I was like,
okay,
fucking hell,
we're going to have to lead with this.
So I called Rob Harris from the associated press and said,
would you like to come on at seven?
You can name your price.
And he was like,
yeah,
all right.
And he came in and just explained the whole thing for me.
50 pounds. Yeah. And and as soon as he finished
I faded them down
now we're going to talk
about our favourite
David Beckham goals
see you after this
that's how we got
on with it
we haven't had a break
Peter
I don't know what
producer Rory
or producer Taylor
will want us to do
maybe they'll want us
to go for a break now
or they'll want us
to put it in later
just let's put it in later
that makes sense
we're heading towards
the end of the show
well you've just
listened back to this and you've heard the break before we've put this in later but Just let's just put it in later. That makes sense. We're heading towards the end of the show. Well, you've just listened back to this and you've heard the break before.
We've put this in later,
but you might know that because it's the,
um,
the,
the marvelry,
marvelous modern,
uh,
modern recording technique.
And you'll never know that it's been put in later.
So I'm going to do the,
um,
call to a break now.
It's time for the break.
Seamless.
Good one.
Um,
here's the end of the show.
Uh,
farewell.
This has been the Luke and Pete show.
Hello,
Luke and Pete show.com.keandpeetshow.com
if you want to get in touch
with the show
you can also
say hello
on
Twitter
head over to Instagram
to see Pete's trousers
for sure
I'm going to sneeze
go for it
I'm allergic to
the end of the Luke and Pete show
that was a really
fuck off
that was a really weird sneeze
it was like you didn't mean it
oh god my body's falling to bits I love it I've told you I've probably told you That was a really weird sneeze. It was like you didn't mean it. Oh, God.
My body's falling to bits.
I love it.
I've probably told you the sneeze story in my house before, haven't I?
What, you sneezed so hard a crow came out of your bum?
No.
The story is, I'll just do it very quickly because I might have done it before.
Don't second guess yourself.
Is this because I pulled you up on repeating it?
I've got a brilliant story
that you've never heard before.
Okay.
Here we go.
I'm real excited!
When I was living with my parents
back in the day,
I was fortunate enough
to bring a girl back to the house.
Whoa.
Everyone was asleep.
What?
It was fine.
What?
One night stand?
She kept sneezing.
Right?
She kept sneezing.
It's the seventh of an orgasm.
Right?
And that's all.
And that was the best she could expect.
Anyway,
cut a long story short,
she went,
parents didn't know.
Turns out,
they heard the sneezing,
and the following Sunday,
at like Sunday lunch around the family or anything,
my dad starts taking the piss out of me for quote unquote,
I've never noticed this about you before, but you sneeze like a girl.
Do a sneeze now so we can hear you sneezing.
Right.
And I couldn't do a sneeze because no one could do a sneeze on demand.
Yeah.
So I didn't.
But my point is they jumped to the conclusion that it was far more likely
that I sneezed like a girl than a girl would ever be interested in being with me.
Okay.
Right.
Good.
See you on Thursday.
That's a banger.
See you on Thursday.
I wish you'd done this
at the start of the show.
