I've been also joined by Mr. Lukey Moore, and it is a Thursday, the 16th of November. Luke, did you survive? A, the fireworks night. B, the week after fireworks night, C, the second week after fireworks night? Yes. Yes. And yes.

No. And yes. Okay, good. I'm glad. But I'm still here. I'm still here fighting for this title. Yeah. Is there a lot of fireworks near you?

I hate fireworks. Yeah. Is there a lot of fireworks near you? I hate fireworks. Yeah, I used to be a fan of them, but then when you've got a puppy, less of a fan of them now. I didn't realise that, because we've only ever had dogs that didn't give a toss, really. But Sammy's not necessarily a fan,

so I feel sorry for him. So what makes a dog like it or not like it? Does it go on breed, or is it just character? I don't know, man. I think it's just like, I don't know why they would be certainly concerned about anything because i mean cars go past all the time um uh like bikes backfire constantly up and down the road as they're delivering the old deliverers around the area so yeah i don't really know why dogs would suddenly

find um fireworks so difficult to do with um and my two cats don't really like it. They hide under the chair. But my son doesn't mind. He doesn't seem to really care. Well, you don't. He doesn't have the capacity to squirrel his way underneath the sofa. If you went into a room and went, where's my son? Is he under the sofa? I'll never know.

If the fireworks start going off at bedtime for a child, which they do, you'd expect it to kind of disturb his routine or to wake him up, but it actually doesn't. I have no idea why. I watched a video about what life is like for an eight-month-old child. And I didn't know a lot of what went on, to be honest. Well, coming to parent is an absolute crash course.

Well, yeah, like, they seem to do a lot of eating powder mixed with water and sleeping. It just seems to be like a lot of that gaffe, really. Yeah, that's exactly what happens. Absolute giggle. I was like, can I just have one day like this? Did they not tell you about the poos? To be honest, yeah, in the video, they didn't necessarily mention the poos.

I think the poos are... I mean, you can't really schedule a poo, can you, really? It just happens. It doesn't happen. I mean, you probably do, don't you? You probably think, oh, I'll have a poo when I get home from work or whatever. No, it's very much...

I've got nothing planned for the day and then as soon as I sort of, if I've been at work and I come back to the house, as soon as I pull up at the front door, for some reason my body goes, it is time. And it just happens. That's weird, that, isn't it? Yeah, I know what you mean.

People get into a routine about things, don't they? I mean, there's a routine about lots of different things. When you think about it, you eat your lunch around the same time every day. That's kind of arbitrary, isn't it? So at some point, someone decided we're having three meals a day. It's probably not the most sensible thing to do. You're probably better off having a small little thing more often. Having little nibbles, yeah.

I can't imagine it's good health-wise for us to have a massive dinner. No. Well, you're supposed to have a massive lunch and a small dinner. It's breakfast. It's big breakfast, medium lunch, small dinner, isn't it? Right. But do you not think that you would get... I mean, I'm able to eat at maximum a sandwich.

If I eat anything more at lunchtime, I'm dozing off. What's that about? Same. They say it's supposed to be breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper. Right, okay. Awful. Awful for tea then.

Yeah, just gruel for tea. But I think I'm the same around lunchtime. If I go too big, it's difficult. It is very, very difficult. And then you've got to get the Rennies out. You're the king of Gaviscon, so you know all about that. Get the Gaviscon boys out, yeah. Speaking is very, very difficult. And then you've got to get the Rennies out. And you're the king of Gaviscon, so you know all about that. Get the Gaviscon boys out, yeah.

Speaking of food, earlier today, I cycled back from the office about lunchtime and got back here to record this. And on the cycle back, I stopped at some traffic lights because I'm a responsible cyclist.

Yeah. And there was a Deliveroo driver in front of me with quite an overloaded back box on his little scooter. Yeah. Motorbike scooter. And so I pulled up next to him and said, oh, by the way, your box is open. Yeah.

And he looked around and said, oh, I know. It's okay. I was like, okay. He went, thanks though. It's fine. He rode off really fast and about three bags fell out the back of the box. Oh dear.

Did he even notice? Yeah. It made a really big noise. I just put my arms in his hands. Well, I did my best. I tried. I can't ever think that you're involved somehow. I can't ever think that you unhooked it.

It was sushi. I wasn't interested. If you live in the Farringdon area. And you got some chaotic sushi. Yeah, and it was all over the place. That's basically why, because I promise you, he's picked that up, put it back in the box, and he's carried on.

Because, I mean, there's a kind of semi-serious point there, because these guys, they're kind of... They're in the gig economy, right? They're probably not getting paid that much. They're probably getting paid by delivery. No. So you probably can't afford to go back to the shop and say, by the way, because the shop's going to say, well, it's not our problem yeah we did our best that's deliveroo's fault yeah it's

i wonder where the um where the blame sort of lies i suppose isn't it i do sort of wonder that they these guys have got on the back of the scooters on the back of their bikes they've got like these kind of like plastic like sort of black plastic kind of boxes that aren't real scooter boxes. They're just like oversized kind of plastic boxes with clips on it. And I do worry about the... It doesn't seem to want to insulate very well.

I don't know. They are padded. I think a lot of them are padded. They're designed for pizzas originally, weren't they? Were they? Yes. That's why they're that shape. So you slide the pizza in keeps it nice and fresh but you know

you think of people who are real pizza purists like Alexis Guerrero from Kooligans he won't accept any pizza that's been in the box

oh right okay straight out of the oven in the mouth he'll have a pizza at the place but he won't he says he can't if you put pizza in a box and

close the lid it ruins the pizza I've heard that he'll only have um pineapple straight off the fruit. He won't have it canned. He won't have it tinned. Listen, I had a Hawaiian the other day.

Yeah, not wrong with it. I don't mind it. Grow up. It's cheese on toast. Grow up. For crying out loud. And do you remember when you were a kid, you used to have cheese and pineapple on sticks? Yes, I do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still want a vibe to that, right? God, pineapple was so exotic, right? Even in the 80s, pineapple was exotic. And it was 100% coming from Del Monte. Yeah, it certainly was. There's no way you get the fresh one.

No, we definitely had the boycott for most of the 80s, so God knows what horrific versions of Del Monte we were eating. There's no way in Hartlepool, growing up when you grew up, you were having fresh pineapple. No, I don't think I saw one.

But I remember it being quite exotic when we had pineapple, but it was all from a tin. Oh, yeah. And there's a little fruit salad with carnation milk on the top. Delicious. Yeah, we used to have fruit salad all the time from a tin. And the little cherries, little red cherries, were kind of the premium item.

While we're on that subject, i also remember for some reason it might just be the fact that my parents loved a tipple but do you remember a kind of drink back in the 80s called taboo yeah it was like a it was like a rum punch sort of thing yeah for some reason um my parents were amazing i'm not kind of going to criticise them because I had a very, very happy childhood. But for some reason, if someone talks about the 80s and food and drink around the house and stuff, I always think of Taboo. Taboo, yeah. I mean, you've got to remember that your parents were younger than you are now. So they were probably into cool stuff like Taboo.

Taboo would have been... Because back then, new drinks, like cocktails in a bottle, would have been relatively because back then new drinks like cocktails in a bottle would have been relatively new would that be fair to say so taboo apparently was like a fruit flavored spirit that was like a lot um it was actually a lot lighter than vodka it's basically vodka white wine and peach and tropical fruit they have no respect% that's a glass of wine like I forget that like yeah that's a glass of wine isn't it 15%

it's heartburn is what it is it's heartburn is what it is but yeah it's very difficult for me to look at a lot of foods now

and go that's not going to give me heartburn so I'll have something like that yeah I think I mean if I eat bread too early in the day I'm getting heartburn

if I yeah again we've had two shows on heartburn, but yeah, you really need a pre-dose on the whole, on the all antacids to get through those kind of dishes. So I've never pre, I said this to you before,

I've never pre-dosed, I've got to do that. Got to pre-dose, got to pre-dose. I mean, consider doing it every day. When I went to the doctors for it, she'd go,

just take an antacid, just take one of those tablets every day, and then you just get into a bit of a cycle. But I don't want you to take more and more. I've only just discovered a new nasal antihistamine that's working for me. You know a large percentage of heroin deaths come from people who've given up heroin? Yes.

And then they use heroin again, and they use the overdose, right? That'll be you on antacids. That'll be me. You'll have a really healthy kick for like six months and then you'll go back into

your takeaways again and then you'll bolt a whole bottle of Gaviscon and you'll die. I'll just turn myself inside out with poop. They cut your body

open in the autopsy and there'll just be no gases. No, there'll be all gases, won't there? There won't be any because the Gaviscon would have eradicated

them all. It would be the purest like very benign smooth insides that anyone's ever seen have you seen what Piers Morgan's been up to

has he been arguing with Louis Theroux about having a fight I don't recall that was one of his things this week I don't know just men trying to

be relevant why's Louis Theroux doing it I mean are they having a fight is that what's going to happen That was one of his things this week. I don't know. Just men trying to be relevant. Why is Louis Theroux doing it? I mean, are they having a fight? Is that what's going to happen? Well, Louis Theroux said that he could... Basically, Louis Theroux interviewed Anthony Joshua. Right.

And then talked about boxing. Right. And then I think Joshua said that he could... Joshua said yeah I'll fight you I'll fight you or whatever through so yeah I'll give you I'll give you a fight whatever and then then they can't chat about and appears more and then three three said I better match up for me would be Piers Morgan he's very famous and I think I could take him and then obviously Piers Morgan did what Piers Morgan does do we want to see it I we want to see it? I do want to see it because anything that

involves Piers Morgan getting punched in the face is a good thing right? Yeah I just think you know my feelings about Thoreau I think he's going to get

found out and if But what I know you think very carefully. Listen I'm going to ask you a question now. Right.

And I want you to do what you never do. Right. I want you to think before you answer it. Right yeah. Based on what we're

doing at the moment. Yeah. This is for broadcast. How do you mean Louis Theroux's going to get found out? I just think he'll be, like, we'll suddenly discover that he didn't really do much. You know what I mean? He just didn't really do much. Suddenly discover.

Yeah. One morning, front page of the paper, Louis Theroux didn't do anything. That's weird, isn't it? He's just been doing nothing for ages. But you've seen him go to those places, haven't you? Yeah, but he just rocks up and goes, um, and it's just been doing nothing for ages. But you've seen him go to those places haven't you? Yeah but he just rocks up and goes erm

and it's just like it's I don't find it as charming as I used to when I was a teenager. Is it because he started to do famous people now

and that's not the point of Louis Theroux? Yes I think it probably is or he certainly erm he had the audacity to but at the end of the day

he's a man who is, like, who doesn't do much, doesn't do anything you would probably say is that important he used to do more important stuff he doesn't do anything important anymore and he is backed by a limitless media corporation who can

sell characters and personalities like your Gary Linekers of this world quite easily. And they sort of have an unfair... I know it's Gary Lineker, but people like that have an unfair advantage because they're backed by the BBC. And it's just a different... They're just too big

and they're not doing enough to justify it for me. I don't know. I don't know what you mean. And also in Lineker's case, obviously he's got his own company, his production company is alongside it and he's kind of,

he's having his cake and eating it. But Louis Theroux is someone I didn't think you'd turn tail on. I thought he'd be one of your lot forever. Quite a beta male. Yeah, but he's from the London classes. So, you know, he's practically the london classes so you know you know you know he's practically aristocracy so i think with as i've said before you know my feelings

on that you know i'll probably get an email from someone who's a lord or a lady saying stop having to go at rich people but you know i think i'd love it if you did get an email from a lord or a lady a lord or a lady well there's a lot of them about. Is it a lord? Is it a lady? Apparently you can just be given a lordship as long as you agree to be foreign secretary. It's fine. Or whatever it is. I think he automatically qualifies for one because he was prime minister, right? Yeah, you'd think bare minimum

you'd be allowed to take your place up there, but yeah. Louis Theroux's dad was a travel writer. I think he still is alive, isn't he? I think he's alive. I don't know if he's still writing, but he's alive. He wrote a brilliant he's a dad was a travel writer. I think he still is alive, isn't he? I think he's alive. I don't know if he's still writing, but he's alive. He wrote a brilliant... He's a very well-respected travel writer. So I don't know if he's landed gentry old Louis Theroux,

because I think his old man is American, but made a load of money writing travel books, mostly, and therefore that's where the kind of connection comes from. Does that make sense? Yeah. I mean, Theroux's not from like... As far as I know, I don't think Louis Theroux's like Phoebe Waller-Bridge or

whatever. He is like a kind of... I suppose he's in a show of his family, I suppose. My beef with it would be... That's enough for me. Yeah, fine. We just hate any kind of success, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I hate any generational success. Would you sign on for, as soon as someone makes loads of success and then has kids, when they die, the kids have to start from the scratch? What, when the parents die, they have to start from the scratch what when the when the pet when the parents die they have to start from scratch so when the when the parents are alive you're allowed

to um nipple baby the fuck out your career but as soon as they die you've got to give up your career no i that would be brutal that would be brutal i think what about you, if you are the son of someone who's famous in your field, or daughter, and before you embark upon that career, you have to change your name entirely and have some kind of facial reconstructive surgery so no one makes the connection, and then you succeed or fail on your own terms.

Yeah, and if you mention the connection, you sound insane. Barry Borsara style. Yeah, that's good. But also 100% inheritance tax. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing that'll do it, yeah. Yeah, I think so. Or if you are a rock star's son,

I'm looking at like your Sean, your Julian Lennon's, you have to become footballers. And if you're a you're a football son you have to become a rock star do you know what i mean yeah you know there's the the julian lennon's and the sean lennon's and the kind of whoever's that's no real life is it i mean i know it's a very life of amazing privilege when you're a child but as an adult that's tough that's yes you can't do anything you can't do anything above office work for people sort of going well we all know he got his job well he's got he's john lennon's son a friend of mine a really good friend of mine is the editor of a quite a big music publication right and and the big interviews still around his ex there's not how many left well it's one for the

heads it's one for the heads. It's one for the heads. It's got a very small, dedicated, respected kind of... Total guitar magazine. He writes Chord of the Week. That's right. It's not a guitar magazine, actually, Peter. But anyway, listen.

Very, very quick. I just want to make this point because I think you'll enjoy it. He did a feature on Darnie Harrison, who is George Harrison's son. What do you reckon the first thing the PR said to him was? Don't mention stabbing? No, he said he's not answering any questions about his dad.

Right. Okay. That makes things difficult, doesn't it? I would have said he wouldn't even fucking be here doing this feature if his surname wasn't Harrison. Yeah. So let's at least compromise here.

Let's say three questions about your dad. Yeah. Right? Because that's the only reason any cunt's going to fucking read it. Mm-hmm. And then we'll do a bit about your awful album that's got no fucking listeners

and will not sell any copies. See me backstage at the All night festival interviewing is it Carissa Van Hooten about her album yes not talking about Game of Thrones

well I don't want to talk to you then yeah you wouldn't even be here you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for a big stupid dragon yeah

you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the dragons and the blades and the that's what Ian McShane said in the Lovejoy.

He said that when he was in Game of Thrones, he was announced in one of the seasons. He's got a very small cameo part, but obviously a bit of a legend. And in the press round, he was interviewed. He said, they said, oh, what's the role? What do you think of the show? And I think he said something along the lines of,

yeah, it's just all tits and dragons here. It's not really my cup of tea, but it'll be all right. Good stuff. It's work, isn't it? I'm 75. It's good work. He of tea, but it'll be all right. Good stuff. It's work, isn't it? I'm 75. It's good work. He went, remember like in the, I think it was in the 70s, pre-Lovejoy, I think, there was a shot of him in a magazine with his top off, I think on like a bare skin rug.

Nice. Looking all sexy and brown and, yeah, cupra and and old and hairy and you know just just a proper sort of tom sellick sort of man um corkspoon around his neck one of those little you know like you know like back then used to have like little drug paraphernalias around your neck just corkspoon just a corkspoon i did did have i made this up or did ian mcshane start out doing like very very soft um like romantic quote-unquote romantic eventually like softcore like porn films um did we have that sort of industry we had we didn't really have serious pornos did we it was more like carry on stuff wasn't it we didn't do have homegrown we

had the red shoe dowries abroad and emmanuel and stuff like that david de covney wasn't it david de covney yeah He was never involved in it. He would just get a letter, I think, with his dog at the start and end of every episode. I don't actually know what the...

It was a big vibe when Channel 5 launched. Oh, massive. Got to fill the schedule. The erotic drama Red Shoe Diaries. Bit of grumble on Friday night. Grumble.

Ian McShane, the reason I'm saying that, I might be putting two and two together and getting five. I've got his filmography up here his first two films are called

The Wild and The Willing right okay yeah that sounds like your positing checks out the second one is called The Pleasure Girls so I don't know

maybe it's just a little double entendre or whatever Britain does a double entendre pretty well right or we're going to say something that's a bit sexy, but it's not sexy really.

And if you think it's sexy, you're a pervert. Can I just circle back to Louis Theroux very quickly? Because I just want to say that I think you're harsh on him. I think that some of the stuff he does is quite brave.

Putting himself out there. You know, he did a limited series recently where he was like hanging around with like, you know, violent fascists and um criminal and violent rap artists in florida and stuff and i think that kind of

that kind of life at the fringes type style is very much what louis theroux is all about and i think he's he disarms people particularly american people by being the way he is and i think that's his skill yeah do we need louis Louis Theroux into Anthony Joshua? Who's probably done 400 interviews this week, this year. No. Yeah. That's true.

Actually. Yeah. Probably don't need his perspective on it, especially cause he's not really, I don't know, man. He's not really, what are we getting out of Anthony Joshua that we wouldn't get otherwise.

But I think the, um, do you see the, uh, the, I think the chicken does, but again, the,

the reckoning for the young chicken shop lady girl is back. Amelia de Moldenberg. Right, OK. I've not really watched many of her stuff, but as soon as you start to get quite famous notables on her show, she started being less combative

and just a bit, like, nice. Whereas you'd go the other way, wouldn't you? Yeah. The further I've gone up the tree the less interested i've become really i'd rather talk to i'd rather talk to john power from cast rather than you what was he like uh got pissed rode his guitarist around on the floor at a festival that's better than chris pratt saying i only want to talk about um my church i want to talk about my church. I only want to talk about my church. He's doing the Garfield movie.

What's that about? I know, I didn't know either. He's been Mario. He only seems to do CGI films at the moment. Was Bill Murray the first Garfield? He was, yeah. I think I enjoyed that at the time. Why can't he come back and,

well, I guess he's probably got a different voice now he's older. I think he did something on a film set that people didn't necessarily appreciate. I think that was one of the stories. He doesn't narrow it down, does he? Well, don't want to narrow it down. Do you want to narrow it down? Is that what you want to do? You do a little tromp.

But I tell you what, Lukey Moore, you're just going to jump in here with what Bill Murray did on set. I want to know your search term. No, I was trying to find out what Chris Pratt did because I genuinely don't know. You tell me later, it's fine. I presume he's playing Garfield. But he's in Garfield.

Who's playing Odie? Was it Odie or Oddie? I used to like Garfield. I used to say Odie. Odie, yeah. And I'm just looking at the Garfield movie now with Chris Pratt. It's coming out in May of next year.

Right. Samuel L. Jackson's in it. Who's he playing? Vic, Garfield's father. Oh, God. There's no Garfield's father in this. Garfield must be about 12. I'm not having this.

Robbie. I don't know who's playing Odie. I liked Odie. He was a stupid dog. He was a stupid dog. He was a stupid dog, yeah. My favourite comic strip as a kid was Calvin and Hobbes. Yeah, you're a big fan of that.

It's very American, I think. I don't know why that sort of fits in with your love of Americana, but my... I don't know how I got into it. Whereas my love of Snoopy doesn't. You know what I mean? No, yeah.

I think I might have come across Calvin and Hobbes maybe in my grandad's newspaper. You know what I mean? No, yeah. I think I might have come across Calvin and Hobbes maybe in my granddad's newspaper. Right, okay. As a kid, or I might have come across it when we were on holiday in the US perhaps.

But that's probably my fave. That's my fave. I think we've talked about Calvin and Hobbes before. I liked the... If you've ever seen, checked out a comic called Red Meat

as an older person, it was like a really... Not particularly offensive, but not like shockingly offensive. Was it like a viz? No, it was a three-panel kind of comic, and it made me want to make my own three-panel comics. And I did eventually make my three-panel comics, which I'm glad to say aren't on the internet anymore,

because I deleted a lot of them. But it was like a very disturbing kind of 1950s kind of Americana kind of vibe where these beautifully drawn characters would just have horrific adventures with each other. A child was always getting kidnapped in them and they were and the milkman they were asking the milkman where he was

they'd sort of go have you seen my son Dan milkman Dan have you seen my son Peter milkman Dan and he'd go yeah and he's no

beauty queen I said have you seen him he's like little one liners like that they were really good really good stuff I think I'll be it would be remiss of me

on behalf of the Luke and Pete show community to not ask you more about your own comic strip. Yeah, they weren't very good. Did you give us a flavour? A couple of them were alright. What was it?

You've taken them down because they were offensive? A couple of them were... Let's see if I need to ask. Very much what I found amusing at 18, 19. So, yeah. But no, they're all right.

I used to get up every morning before I went to work and do little cartoons and stuff. I used to love doing that. You were a bit of a boogaloo boy then, weren't you? A bit of what? A boogaloo boy? Yeah. What's a boogaloo boy?

You know what a boogaloo boy is? No, I really don't know why. Is it like a latchkey kid? Boogaloo boys were like these kind of of like far right extremist like shit posting on the internet 4chan kind of right okay they can boogaloo boys around donald trump and they started wearing hawaiian shirts and stuff and to identify with it is that where they're called the boogaloo boys yeah i think i think so yeah what's boogaloo what does the boogaloo mean i don't know where it comes from they've got their own flag and everything. Oh, God.

Good Lord. I'm looking it up now. Apparently, it refers to a film called Breaking 2, The Electric Boogaloo, which is a dance musical. But they're just shitposts of fucking more than that. It's probably just completely... No, I could draw, and I was trying to do proper jokes. Thank you.

Were you proud of the work? I was proud of the work at the time. They're fine. They're absolutely fine. They're not offensive. Yeah, but you keep saying this, but it makes it sound like they were. It makes it sound like it were.

But when you grow up, you're sort of a bit embarrassed about trying different stuff in your early 20s, aren't you? Because when you're in your early 20s, you're just trying different stuff out and thank God there's no you know i wasn't trying to be a youtuber i wasn't trying to be a streamer oh that would be horrific i'm i'm deaf i think i've said it before i'm definitely on the website newgrounds doing a dance um on a bed to um the jimmy saville um you haven't said this before i have said that before don't try to dust it under

the carpet you haven't mentioned this before so new have said that before. Don't try to dust it under the carpet. You haven't mentioned this before. So Newgrounds used to be a place where you used to do like flash animation and stuff and I was just big into like 3D animation and stuff and yeah, just did little animations and people could score you on whether they liked

the animations or not. Like ratemypoo.com? A little bit, yeah. And if you were like top dog, you would get put on the front page of the website and that would give you even more exposure and some more people would be exposed to your stuff.

So a little bit like YouTube, I suppose, but it was back in the pre, kind of like sort of, just before the year 2000, I think. It was kind of... So you weren't dressed as Jimmy Savile, presumably? No, I just had a, I think just had a chimpanzee mask on.

I was on a little dance. You didn't even need to admit it. No, I didn't even need to admit it. That's the kind of honesty we like on this show. Let's have a quick break, in which case we'll apologise for Pete's behaviour. Then we'll come back with some batteries. Yeah. Data overage protection so you can go all out without going over. Don't wait. Our back-to-school offers are only available for a limited time. Go to Fido.ca or a Fido store near you and save all semester long.

Fido. At your side. All right, we're back. And every single Thursday on the Lincoln Pitch Show, we talk about all things battery. Cordy has got in touch because he's found a battery inside a smoke detector. My girlfriend mentioned a smoke detector had been beeping for days. I said I'd not heard it once.

She dead-stared me for a few seconds, and sure enough, there was a beep. I mean, there's nothing more satisfying in a slightly spiky argument to be proved damn right within seconds. Fantastic. Well done uh cordy's partner uh don't know what all that means uh but the smoke detector detector in question was a um kid a sealed smoke detector broke it open to find a fuji novel lithium cr two-thirds it's l as you said in that model peter i forget where again i forget where we stand on that, but it looks like a battery. I'm not really sure that's a normal setup,

but I think you could probably go into Sainsbury's or Tesco's and buy that battery. I think we can accept it. So I'm accepting it. Cordy is hoping it's a new player. But even if not, thank you both for all the wonderful hours you've given me sitting in Los Angeles, a traffic of which there is quite a lot of it.

Cordy, enjoy. Yeah, thanks, Cody. Thanks for sending that in. Regardless if it's legal battery or not, you are the third person to send that in. Our friends Rafe and Jacopo, which is a great name, have also both sent in the Fuji novel Lithium.

So not a new player, but the third person to send it. Lovely stuff. If you've ever... He's actually got the picture of him holding a battery over the top of the back of a smoke alarm. And it's obviously got a printed circuit board that was made by a computer. And so all of the components, the resistors,

the transistors, is that a word? The capacitors and stuff. They're all kind of... And the little chips and logic gates and stuff and speaker and battery. They're all kind of like on the circuit board. They've got these little sort of channels of copper sort of going from component to component. And if you ever go back to looking at stuff from the 1970s and you look at a circuit board from the 1970s, it was all hand-drawn. from like the 1970s and you look at a circuit board from the 1970s it was all hand drawn and back then the technology would mean that like my dad when he was an electric engineer um he used

to draw circuit boards like that so he'd draw out a circuit board on a piece of paper with a special pen i think and then they'd use some kind of machine and they'd shine a light through it and wherever the pen was copper traces would be sort of drawn. But back then, the technology didn't sort of mean that you couldn't put sort of right angles. So these people draw the kind of like the sort of traces of where the electricity goes by hand. And so like you go back to the 70s and you look at these kind of lovely circuit boards that were almost like a work of art because the the men and women had to draw the circuit boards by hand from component to component oh yeah i'm looking at one now it's really beautiful actually it's like a big flower like an old like an old like an old kind of circuit board it's like the difference between how beautiful they were back then and obviously they were thicker and they they probably didn't

work as well but um how how we've kind of of lost the artistry of someone who can draw a nice circuit board. My dad was big in electronics. He was actually in electronics procurement. But he was very, very good at that kind of stuff. And he would like, I remember him grabbing, you know, something that needed fixing and had a circuit board in it and grabbing it and soldering it

and finding where the connection was broken and refixing it and all that kind of stuff. There's something really interesting about that. Really flowing it. Yeah. And I think obviously you's something really interesting about that. Reflowing it. Yeah. And I think obviously you can't do any of that stuff now, can you? I mean, people have a go, to be honest. I'm a big fan of watching men who will take Amazon returns from Amazon

and try and fix it by recapping something or reflowing some solder and then reselling it, making about £2 per hour on their labour. Absolute waste of time, but I enjoy watching it. Speaking of, I remember reading a while back that there was a thing in Time magazine about the world's smallest microchip. Right. At that point, it had been created.

And it's obviously a nanochip or whatever. And it's obviously a nano chip or whatever. And it's made by IBM. And it can fit 50 billion transistors. 50 billion on the space the size of a fingernail. Absolutely frightening. They're so small. I think they're roughly five atoms wide. Yeah.

Which is just ridiculous i mean even even like chips from like the 80s you know it was in your amiga or a spectrum or something yeah i find absolutely dazzling but when but when you look at like every computer chip these days with the you know the so-and-so nanometer chips that are like about that big and they've got like just so much information so many sort of logic against them I would not know it is like sort of going they may as well just be showing me like a magic tree you know I don't understand

but I said that to you the other week about when it comes to like the coding for video games yeah and so it's baffling to me that you watch you play a game against other people on the other side of the world in real time. And the detail is incredible. And when you drill that down to its basics, it's all ones and zeros.

Yeah. Wild. You'd think there'd be a better way of doing it these days. Well, I mean, there is. Quantum computing. But you know what I mean. Let's rattle into our last two battery brands. Ayo, boys, says Brad.

It's your favourite battery collecting numismatist. Boy, am I feeling lucky. Three sevens on a battery. Is this a new player? I'll stop sending them in if my track record is broken. I'm currently in Reunion at the moment, hoovering up batteries and coins. Here's a nice picture of the morning walk we had.

I presume that's Reunion Islands? Yes, it will be, yeah. Lord Robert is from? Do you remember Brad? Yeah, exactly, he is. Here is a nice picture of the morning walk we had. I presume that's Reunion Islands where... Yes, it will be, yeah. Lord Robert is from? Do you remember Brad? Yeah, exactly. He is. Brad collects...

Doesn't Brad collect coins as well or something? Yeah. That's what a numismatist is. Anyway, I know that because we learnt that on the show before. So it was a treble seven battery. Is that what you said? Treble seven. Nice red, silver kind of design.

I like it he's also included a picture of his walk in Reunion which looks absolutely beautiful it's on Jurassic Park he's not the first person to send in the 777's actually they first were sent back in June of 2017 by David Speed

I presume was David Speed a football player or was that David Speedy David Speedy and Gary Speed anyway so you're not a new player

I'm afraid Brad but we really appreciate the update and the submission oh sorry Brad I'm so sorry well let's move on to Lee's submission

your chat about Ghostwatch brought back long forgotten traumatic memories I think it was 6 when it aired and it scared the life out of me I believe they came back on air to explain it was six when it aired, and it scared the life out of me.

I believe they came back on air to explain it was a hoax, but we had already gone to bed and missed that. I was scared to flush the toilet for months in case pipes popped up in my house. I'd completely forgotten about the parkards a bit, though. Anyway, the batteries from a kids' DJ mixing deck thing. Probably not a new player, but as I am digitally passing by,

I thought it was worth a crack. Tian Q. Q? Yeah. Tianqiu. I think. Tianqiu. Yeah, I mean, Lee, you are the 36th person to send that battery in. Oh dear. So not close to a new player but I appreciate you

reminiscing about Ghostwatch which was fucking frightening and I did try after the last show we made when we talked about it to find it online I couldn't actually find it surely somebody's uploaded it but I'm not very good at searching stuff on the internet like you are so maybe you can find it for us Peter

well that's about it for us that's another Luke and Pete show done we'll be back on Monday wherever you reside I guess technically we appear at like 5am.m on a monday uk time uk time so i guess west coast west coast probably still still in still on a sunday west coast you're gonna get it

at 9 p.m 9 p.m so anything west of texas is is sund Sunday night There's also a little There's also a little known There's a little known Man Time zone in the US Called Mountain Time Do you know that? I think I've heard

Heard of it But only when I'm Setting up a new copy Of Windows XP Oh yeah That's what I'm telling you Do you want it to be Mountain Time? No That's when it'll come up I want it to be Mountain Time? No.

That's when it'll come up. I want it to be London, Lisbon. They use it in Canada and Mexico and I think six states in the US. Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and Arizona. Right. How does that work then?

Because that goes over there, doesn't it? Colorado's all the way over there. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Some states split it, so some parts of the way over there. I don't know, mate. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Some states split it, so some parts of the state have it. Didn't North Korea go half seas at one point? Didn't they do a half an hour?

I think they did. They're a half an hour time zone in some places, aren't they? Is there? Are there? I think so, yeah. That's very confusing, isn't it? I think you might get them in Australia,

maybe, as well. Like Micronesia sort of area, kind of Polynesia, all that gaff. Not as bad as when, I think it was Sweden or some Scandinavian country decided to change which side of the road they were driving on. Yeah, that would have been rather confusing. That went down well.

By the way, Producer Rory's in the chat saying we actually released the show at 3am UK time now. Oh, Rory, for crying out loud. That's your fault, Rory. Well, that extends it all the way to Atlanta or something. I don't know. Anyway, we'll see people on Monday. We hope you have a nice weekend, don't we, Peter?

Yeah, we do. Unless you're evil. I have a terrible one, if that's the case. The Luke and Pete Show is a Stack Production and part of the ACAST Creator Network. and part of the ACAST Creator Network.
