good morning slash afternoon slow lorises pete donaldson with you on the luke and pete show i'm
joined but i said i was gonna do a long intro so that luke mo could finish his big january the
fourth banana uh he's not managed it just yet he's bitten off more than he could chew how much
banana did you eat? Because you started...
I'm back.
You're back.
There we go.
I've done it.
Welcome to the show, Luke.
How is the banana?
It's good.
In the banana rating?
It's probably a little bit
underripe,
but I prefer under to over.
Oh, really?
No, I prefer over.
But I do want to avoid
all the little black patches.
Yeah.
Spider eggs.
I don't like the consistency
of the texture
after it goes past a certain point.
I love it when it gets melty.
Bananas are really good because they fill you up.
They're not hugely calorific.
Yeah.
So you feel like, I feel like,
it's probably an exaggeration to say
that it feels like you've had a meal
when you've eaten a banana.
But it feels like you've had something
substantial almost like when the snickers used to be a decent size but you sometimes sort of um
nature snickers the banana is there some kind of times where you sort of eat banana and your
stomach goes this is a bit strong for this early in the morning peter stop it not with a banana
no i can have a banana from they're very potassiumy and kind of like they're very
violent there's definitely a good range
of foodstuffs
that my body
will reject
before a certain
time
right
the banana
is not among
them
I put gravy
on my banana
just to smooth
it down
so when I used
to do
the Great South
Run
which I haven't
done for ages
it starts
pretty early
but obviously
you need to get
up early
to travel there
and stuff.
And ordinarily you want a good
breakfast before you go running for 10 miles.
But I can never really stomach a full breakfast
at that point. But I can always have a banana.
Right.
If I walk in at 3 o'clock in the morning, I'd get a
banana down you. I was about to say exactly that.
If you woke me up at 4 or 3
Get a banana down you. What's the worst time
you could think of in the whole 24-hour clock to wake up?
It'd be half three.
3.15?
No, because actually,
if you wake up at that point,
if the dogs get up,
I'm like, I'm all right,
because I've still got a substantial amount of sleep to go.
No, but you misunderstand the question.
Right.
The question is,
it's not...
Anyone can get up at any time
if you know you can go straight back to bedding.
I mean, you're up.
Right.
No mucking about.
Yeah.
So, for example...
Two's a novelty.
You're like,
oh my God,
I'm not being up this time
for a very long time.
This is amazing.
Two to me feels like
I'm on an alien world.
But you know what I'm saying?
This morning,
I was up,
we were talking about this earlier,
I was up about seven.
You said you were up
a bit before that.
And I went into the kitchen
to make a cup of tea
and put the radio on.
The great Laura Woods hosting the breakfast show.
Do you not wake up your good lady wife
with the radio on at that time?
It's in another part of the flat.
I mean, it's in the kitchen.
How big's your flat?
Not that big.
How loud do you have it on?
Have it quite quiet.
Right, okay.
Anyway, Laura Woods was hosting the breakfast show
on TalkSport.
No joke.
The last thing I watched
on TV the night before
was Laura was hosting
the darts
what?
I mean
she's a machine
I mean you've chosen
to do the
was it both live
both of us
both live yeah
she must be
rinsed
yeah exactly
absolutely rinsed
and anyway
I was going to say to you
pushing pro plus
through the yielding
flesh of a banana
just to get through yeah spiking a banana with pro plus through the yielding flesh of a banana just to get through
yeah
spiking a banana
with pro plus
but listen
I'm telling you now
if you can't go back to sleep
you wake me up at three
which I think is the worst time
yeah
it'd be up there
about that
it's in the threes
maybe the fours
fours
I'm going on a flight
so I'm going on a trip
so I don't mind
threes
Peter
what has happened
yeah
what's happened if you get me up in the fives I'm okay on a flight so I'm going on a trip so I don't mind yeah threes Peter what has happened yeah yeah
what's happened
yeah
if you get me up in the fives
I'm okay
if it's one
one morning
no
and six onwards is fine
whatever
but anyway
you woke me up at three
this is a long run up
what I'm about to say
this is going to be so underwhelming
you woke me up at quarter past three
right
I'm telling you
I could eat a banana
is this how we start
oh we could eat a banana
this is how we start in the little peach shop what could you eat at quarter past three if someone said you've got could eat a banana. Is this how we're starting the Luke and Pete show? Is this how we're starting the Luke and Pete show?
What could you eat at quarter past three? Someone said you've got to get on board.
Yes, and there's Chinese pizza.
I'd have a good go. Bananas are just
a bit too strong. Your guts are rotten.
Absolutely rotten.
They are rotten.
For breakfast, within half an
hour of me getting up, I had macaroni cheese.
A couple of days ago.
In the new year.
That's how I'm starting this year.
You know in a nuclear disaster, they helicopter in a big concrete dome and put it over the ceiling.
That's your stomach.
That's going to be my stomach when I finally pass.
So you would rather have leftover Chinese at quarter past three in the morning than you would a banana?
It feels more like a I'm up in the middle of the night kind of dish, to be honest.
I'd be paying for it for the rest of the day.
I'm completely sure.
But has your kind of, have you made any kind of New Year's resolutions when it comes to,
you know, getting a bit fitter and stuff?
Yeah, I mean.
And not eating Chinese at three o'clock in the morning.
This is a difficult situation because most people.
Will be doing this.
Listening to this show have probably seen me on social media
right
but believe me when I say
I'm not actually that unfit
I know I don't look great
right
but I'm not actually that unfit
for example
I ran
I did a 10k run
on the morning of New Year's Day
I mean that
yeah
that seems like
bearing in mind
I can't walk up the stairs
though being out of breath
it just seems like
moon talk
you've got to build up to it
so I think what I tend to do these days is I give myself a little break.
So for the two weeks leading up to when we broke up from work for Christmas,
the 23rd or whatever it was,
I was very, very strict on what I ate, how much I ate and all that stuff.
And then for the two weeks over Christmas ending today,
I've just been quite laissez-faire about it
and now I'll go back into my normal routine
which is not like properly
virulently monitoring my calorie intake
but like staying across it.
We were talking about
caloric content of pickled onions on WhatsApp.
Yeah, very low.
I'm just always surprised.
I mean, there's a lot of sugar in there.
They're not good for you
but they're very, very low when it comes to calories.
I could subsist on a diet of bananas and...
Pickled onions.
I mean, I would stink.
I'd absolutely stink.
That's possibly the most gothic thing you've ever said.
And then I'd put the pickling vinegar in with whiskey.
Yeah, it's almost like
your life is
the nightmare before Christmas.
But you know something?
There's a lot of things
that you can eat
that aren't actually even worth
typing in the calorie content
into your app.
Because I've got an app, right?
Right, okay, yeah.
And cherry tomatoes,
you could eat a hundred of them.
Could you?
Oh, mate.
Oh, if I've tried it.
Straight from the fridge, though,
a bit much on the teeth.
Yeah, too much on the teeth when you get to our age. Oh, too cold. tried it. Straight from the fridge, though. A bit much on the teeth. Yeah, too much on the teeth
when you get to our age.
Oh, too cold.
But I like pickled onions.
But you've also got to remember
why it's really important
to have a balanced diet
and all that type of stuff.
And obviously, I'm not a doctor
or a nutritionist.
But calories are just the calories, right?
So if you take on board more calories
and you burn off in a day,
you're going to put on weight.
And the opposite,
you're going to lose weight.
Yeah.
So it doesn't really matter. A pickled onion is like six calories. Yeah., you're going to put on weight. And the opposite, you're going to lose weight. So it doesn't really matter.
A pickled onion is like six calories.
Yeah.
You ain't going to get fat
eating pickled onions, mate.
If there was a way of,
if there was a way of
not destroying my teeth
with the vinegar
from pickled onions
and also the bluffs
that continue
throughout the day
after pickled onions
and the stench of onion.
Are they the worst
bluff food for you?
Oh, they're massive
bluff foods for me. Yeah, big, big bluff food for you? Oh, they're massive blow-off foods for me.
Yeah, big, big blow-off food for me.
So yeah,
if I could somehow,
if we could make,
if we could engineer
that these boffins
have sorted the vaccines,
get on making
a fartless pickled onion, please.
I'm pleased that you use boffins.
Yeah.
We don't hear it enough.
Did you used to say boff at school?
Boff for farting?
No, no,
that's short for boffin.
No.
Oh, he's a boff. I remember, was it Ben the Boff for farting. No, that's short for boffing. No. He's a boff.
I remember,
was it Ben the Boffin
who used to do
the video game reviews
on The Big Breakfast?
Yeah.
What about Ben the Boffin?
I watched a,
I'm going to say this,
you're going to be
taken aback,
but I'm telling you,
over,
when was it?
It was a weekend,
possibly in November,
I got sucked into a vortex
where I watched almost the entirety
of an episode of The Big Breakfast on YouTube.
But the adverts and everything were taken out.
Right.
So it wasn't as long as you'd think.
And it was dated.
Yeah.
And a bit cringe.
Exciting though.
But it was exciting.
The pace of it was very, very enjoyable.
It was like all bets are off.
It wasn't as staid and as basic and as slow
as the ones on ITV.
It was a real appointment to watch for a lot of kids.
But I imagine the viewership just didn't really
pull a needle at any point towards any of the big ones,
the BBC ones and the Pebble Mills.
But that's...
That was midday.
You're talking mid-morning, right? But the rationale for the big ones, the BBC ones and the Pebble Mills. But that's... That was midday. You're talking mid-morning, right?
But the rationale
for the big breakfast
was pretty sound, right?
It was like,
there's a whole generation
of people...
Who just don't watch
breakfast television.
Don't give a shit
about the BBC news
at breakfast time.
Let's give them
something a bit different.
I was trying to explain
the career of Chris Evans
to my wife.
Obviously, as I always say,
she's not from this country.
The Ryan Seacrest
of England. But obviously, she knows Chris Evans this country. The Ryan Seacrest of England.
But obviously she knows Chris Evans as being,
what's his name?
Captain America.
Got his hosier out.
Different one.
Got his willy out recently.
Did he?
Yeah, he posted a picture of himself on Twitter.
He's a cyberpunk.
He glitched out of his trousers.
I believe he was posting something on Instagram
and he didn't crop out the camera roll at the bottom
and his little dinkle donkey.
How can you be so bad at that?
Well.
Now.
Yeah.
Always crop an image.
I know, right?
Do you always crop an image?
Well, you sent me a picture
of someone we know
with Ian Botham's willy
pierced onto their nose
quite recently.
You did the Photoshop.
That I made.
Yeah, you made it
that's beyond my skill set
but I found it
in my
there's
the greyness
of that picture
it's like a grey
blue
red kind of hue
of that penis
I could recognise
if you hid
where's Wally
but instead of Wally
it was Ian Botham's penis
that he accidentally tweeted
that time
what are you thinking
I think that I think I could pick that out of a crowd there it is that's Ian Botham's penis that he accidentally tweeted that time. What are you thinking? Yeah. I think that,
I think I could pick that
out of a crowd.
There it is.
That's Ian Botham's penis.
Out of a load of penises.
It's very distinctive.
It is, yeah.
And you spent a lot of time
cutting out to all the parts of it.
Yeah, just cropping out.
If I gave you a big,
say, I'm going to say,
A wall chart.
An A1 size wall chart
of 100 penises.
I could spot Ian Botham's.
Would you spot it
before you spotted your own?
Well, I'd hope
they'd be touching.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
That'd be very nice.
So you reckon you could spot
Ian Botham's penis
in 100 penises?
Yeah.
And look,
if anyone's been furloughed
and they've got a bit
of time on their hands,
I'll happily play that game.
I'll take that bet.
I think that would
cross the line
for my wife. What do you mean if I was doing that bet. I think that would cross the line for my wife.
What do you mean?
If I was doing that.
I'm doing some important work in here.
Like Decker in Blade Runner.
In hands.
Yeah, that's, yeah.
I can't remember what I was going to say now,
but anyway, what was I going to say?
Oh, cropping of images.
Yes.
So sometimes our listeners should know that,
so quite regularly,
if I'm sat around doing nothing of an evening and i'm winding down
after a day's hard hard labor right i will sometimes just send you a photo of myself yeah
of me myself doing like a stupid pose you were topless in the last one don't get to see it very
often or you're wearing like an all-man vest oh that's possible yeah that's possible but yeah and
you always send me one back yeah I do yeah it's nice to know
some things we do
but you haven't sent around
a picture of me
with Ian Botham's penis
on my face yet
I've not no
which is to your credit
something to look forward to
what's been happening
in the news
so I read
over the weekend
that a load of families
got trapped in the snow
in the Peak District
oh right yeah
because of
because of
well I guess...
Bad admin.
It came down.
Well, no, the thing is,
well, look, first of all,
they shouldn't be out and about, I don't think.
I think that some government spokesman
or some police officer,
I mean, listen, the government spokesperson
has got a fucking cheek,
but some police officer said,
look, it's disappointing
because they're not supposed to be out.
22 people apparently got rescued,
including a two-year-old child.
Oh, that's not ideal, is it?
But the weather came down fast.
The notorious Snake Pass
in the Peak District,
which apparently is very, very,
it's just legendary
for how quickly the weather can change.
They got caught,
the A57 it is,
I think it's known as the Snake Pass,
got caught in their cars
as the snow started piling down on them.
Is it called the Snake Pass
because it's shaped like a snake
or it's as duplicitous as a snake?
It's because it went
oh good point
I watched Indiana Jones
yesterday
did you
I'm very
I watched all of them
over Christmas
yeah good
Indiana Jones
and the
oh what was the first one
can't remember it
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Raiders of the Lost Ark
there we go
it's actually just called
Raiders of the Lost Ark
the first one isn't it
oh it's not even called
Indiana Jones
I don't think so
right okay
I don't recognise Crystal Skull I don't think so. Right, okay.
I don't recognise Crystal Skull.
It's part of the character. I don't observe it.
Get in the fridge.
Get in the fridge.
He is a beautiful man.
And continues to be a beautiful man.
I think that...
I'm going to put this out there,
and if people want to disagree,
they're welcome to get in touch.
Hello at LukeandPeach.com.
I don't think you'll find a better specimen of human being
than Harrison Ford in the first Indiana Jones movie.
When he got his shirt off, when he's been damaged.
He just looks ridiculous.
Some people on screen, they look so ridiculous
that you think this would never happen.
This would never happen because the first thing people would say
would be like, fucking hell, you look amazing.
And it's definitely the case
with Harrison Ford and Indiana Jones.
Yeah, well, do you remember
who played Princess Leia?
Oh, Carrie Fisher.
Carrie Fisher,
she, before she died,
like weeks before she died,
she just sort of went,
yeah, I fucked him in his prime
and then just died.
An amazing flex.
Is that true?
Yeah, an amazing flex.
I fucked him in his prime,
an amazing flex, and then true? Yeah, an amazing flex. I fucked him in his prime, an amazing flex,
and then just went.
I mean, what a treat that woman was.
I don't think a man like Harrison Ford at that level,
that level of attractiveness,
because, so I'm looking at Harrison Ford's details now.
Details. There was a period of time between 1979 and 1983
where he wasn't married. Right, okay. between 1979 and 1983 where he wasn't married.
Right, okay.
So the four years
where he wasn't married
and at that point
he was the age
23 through to
27.
Yeah.
So when he does
Indiana Jones
he's a bit older
than that I think.
Yeah.
Isn't he,
wasn't he like a kind of
a carpenter or something?
Imagine him in your house.
Get out.
Get out. Get out.
That's peak Harrison Ford.
Because that's what he did in The Lost Ark, 81.
Wow.
So, I mean, he is four years single.
I don't need to say it, do I?
I don't need to say it.
Some women have had, possibly men,
have had the best they'll ever have I would say
and how do you feel
about that Pete
have some people
had the best
you're ever going to be
no I think
I think there's been
some real
shower conversations
with themselves
like
days afterwards
sort of going
what was that about
but is your best still to come
is what I'm saying
probably not
probably not
mine is neither
I'll be a chef this way
yeah I also watch Ghost as well, Patrick Swersey.
Again, another spunk.
Doesn't appeal to me watching that again.
Some movies you look at and you think,
yeah, I'd love to see that again.
I get very teary at the end.
I watched a lot of NAF films, good films, bad films.
I watched a film called The Gift
that had quite a lot of weird actors in it.
The director who produced it also featured in it as well.
And that's worth a watch on the old Amazon Prime.
You've also got a little bit of...
I watched Wonder Woman for the first time.
That's good.
Didn't rate it, didn't rate it.
I liked it.
I'll tell you what I would say about Wonder Woman
is that the final act isn't very good.
And David Thewitt, who I like as an actor, he's not a very convincing bad guy. Oh, really? He isn't very good and David Thewitt who I like as an actor
he's not a very
convincing bad guy
in it
oh really
he always was very good
he was very good in Fargo
oh yeah but in that
kind of
weird
darker
intimate
more kind of setting
he's brilliant
he's brilliant in loads of stuff
I just didn't think
he was very good in that
I watched the Orient Express
that was a load of shite
even though it had
the best cast in the world
and plenty of chances
to make it alright they just pulled the rug from everyone kind of forgetting what even though it had the best cast in the world and plenty of chances to make it alright
they just pulled the rug
from everyone
kind of forgetting
what was so charming
about the Miss Marple
and Poirot kind of stuff
that can happen can't it
they just sort of went
oh we can't figure
let's just pull it out
it was everyone
automatically now
I'm thinking
it was the policeman
you know
don't do that
it wasn't
that's the classic
mousetrap thing innit
it was the policeman but the mousetrap thing, isn't it? It was the policeman.
But the mousetrap
changes every night, doesn't it?
No.
No, it's the policeman.
Oh, I thought the mousetrap,
I thought the whole point
of the mousetrap
was every night they change it.
That's a much better idea.
Exactly, yeah.
But straight away, Pete,
I'm thinking
it's all about
cinematic universe crossovers now.
Prime, Indiana Jones,
living on that island
in Wonder Woman
where it's just women.
Look.
If you don't do it,
some porn production company will.
Somebody will.
I mean, it'd just be endless.
My word.
Absolutely endless.
Wonderful.
And then at the start
of Wonder Woman, Pete,
where Chris Pine,
he turns up in the plane,
rather than Wonder Woman swimming out and rescuing him
Harrison Ford just instantly
just kills him.
Good.
Not as handsome as me.
This is my patch.
Find your own island
full of women.
You little fucker.
Let him drown!
He wasn't Mr. Spock, was he?
Let him drown.
Captain Kirk?
Was he Captain Kirk?
Yes, he was.
I didn't warm to the new Star Trek ones.
No.
I didn't warm to them.
Anyway, at one point we were talking about people getting stuck in the snow.
I was actually going to ask you, Pete,
would you be, if you were stuck in a serious amount of snow,
because I look at this web page with this news story on it
and I'm just embarrassed at the lack of snow involved.
Aye.
If you were stuck properly,
like sometimes happens in China,
or in some parts of the US,
where you've got to batten down the hatches with one other person for a couple days
before you get rescued,
like Pine Barrens,
that legendary episode of The Sopranos,
would you be a good companion or a bad one?
I, um, I'd be a pretty bad one.
And to be honest,
I like to think that I would have got us
into the situation
in the first place
yeah
navigation
I said I put
I was trying to maintain
my partner's car
and I put
and I forgot to
I went to fill up
the antifreeze
slash coolant
in the engine
forgot to put the lid
back on the actual
container that they put it in and oh that caused to put the lid back on the actual container
that they put it in.
And, oh, that caused problems.
Oh, the car didn't know like that.
I don't even know why you're involved.
I had to Google blown head gaskets.
I was fearful that I'd created that kind of problem.
I took off the lid when the engine was hot and it...
Going all over the place.
I was like, wow.
If I was walking back towards my car and the bonnet was open
and I saw you,
I'd put you straight in the headlock.
I am good at computers.
So what is it if not a hundred-year-old gas-based computer?
You're like with computers,
like George Galloway used to conversations.
So you take it to a certain level
and then you just start using language
and no one understands.
And so then everyone just backs off.
Is that fair?
That's fair, yeah.
Yeah.
Fine.
I enjoyed being useful
and then very not useful.
What, in the car?
I like going,
I will maintain this car.
I will figure this out
because a lot of car drivers,
I'm very surprised,
they don't really know
how to maintain their car.
They don't know what levels are.
I'm the same.
Yeah, but do you not know
like you've got to keep
all the levels up?
Well, we've talked about this before.
How often do you pump up the tyres?
Well, the thing is,
the car I've got,
you've got a regular service plan.
So it's done for you.
You've got to pump up your tyres,
aren't you?
What if you're heavily laden
and you need to pump them up higher?
Yes, I have recently done my theory test.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm sorry though.
Let's just take this back to the real world.
Peter can't drive.
People who know about cars do not approach you and say,
you've got to pump up your tyres.
No one says that.
You do.
It's the sort of thing people who don't know about cars say.
Police quest one, two, and three.
If you refuse to get into your car, in your Panda car,
without kicking the tyres and checking that the tyres are at the decent pressure,
you would fail again.
You'd be...
Nah.
Darryl Woods.
I think it's Darryl Woods. He'd be telling you off. I Darryl, Darryl Woods, I think it's Darryl Woods,
would be telling you off.
I don't know who that is.
Oh, the problematic police officer.
Darryl Gates,
the problematic police officer
would be telling you off
and you would fail the game.
It's like going up to someone
saying you're going to fix
their computer and say,
who does your mouse, Matt?
It's a regular,
no.
Ty's the most important thing
in the car.
Is it?
Next to engine.
Which you also know nothing about.
Anyway, you'd be a terrible companion in a snow-drifted pass.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes, because I would have blown the head gasket.
But you always carry top trumps on you, don't you?
I like a game of cards, but someone teaches me the card game
and then the next time we play it, I have forgotten all of the rules
and they get very angry at me.
I'm the same about it. I don't think I've played any kind of card game for such the next time we play I have forgotten all of the rules and they get very angry at me. I'm the same at that.
I don't think I've
played any kind of
card game for such a
long time.
I don't know if I'd
know any of the rules
and it used to be all
the rage.
We used to play this
game called Shithead
at university.
Yes, I remember
Shithead.
And you could get
really drunk on it
and it'd be lots of
fun.
I couldn't tell you
to play it now.
No, and the only
card game I used to
know how to play it
was Strip Poker on
the Spectrum.
Was that a game on the spectrum
yeah
it was loads of
dirty little games
boobies
boobies
and downstairs boobies
downstairs
downstairs
what bollocks
singular boobies
yeah
you'd play strip poker
on the spectrum
and you'd be treated
to a pixelated chest potato
on the amstrad
on the amstrad
a little digitised picture
of a lady
Sam Foxtrot poker
that was a famous one
wasn't it
but that was how I learnt to play a very specific kind of poker
by myself as a teenager.
So if you win the hand,
the pixelated lady takes a light of my clothing off?
No, if she goes bust.
If she's got $200 and I take all that money off her.
You can't go bust in poker.
What?
You can't go bust.
Bust is 21, isn't it?
Well, no, as in she loses all of her money.
Right.
And then she takes off a part of her clothing.
Is this problematic?
What do you mean?
Is it problematic?
Are you extorting women
to take their clothes off on the spectrum?
It's a video game.
It was a video game
that I played when I was a teenager.
What about if you prefer looking at a man
rather than a lady?
I don't think there was that option
because quite frankly...
It was the 80s.
Yeah, exactly.
It was the 80s.
Yeah.
Mary Whitehouse would have had her hair off
because she'd lost $200.
She was involved.
Right, let's have a break.
When we come back, we'll do some of your emails
and talk a bit more nonsense.
This is the Luke and Pete Show.
I'm Luke Moore.
He's Pete Donaldson.
If you want to spend the time in the outbreak
getting an email in to us, it's hello at lukeandpeteshow.com.
We are at Luke and Pete Show on Twitter.
We'll see you in a minute
This week on Stakhanov
Over on the Luke and Pete Show
we've been discussing our usual nonsense
from Disney princesses to fizzy lagers
and a whole load more
here's a taster of what's been on the show
for some reason our little recording system
has got this piece of music installed
I think it's incidental music in a sex ed BBC Two 10am kind of job.
No way!
It is.
It's too groovy. It's too groovy.
Yeah, it's like, now on BBC Two, sex and your child.
Meanwhile, over on WrestleMe, we've
been doing the 12
days of WrestleMemus,
which you can find
on our Patreon or
your favourite podcast
player.
That's why also
America is like
leading the world
in serial killers,
you know, because
they have room.
They have room
to dismantle,
to dismember,
to make marionettes.
Over here here very difficult
to be a serial killer
I would knock into things
I'd get blood everywhere
but there's always
some nosy beak
isn't there
someone sticking
their nose in
where it doesn't belong
all that
and more
at Succarnaus
of course Luke you didn't have to actually win at poker.
You could just swap around the image files on the floppy disk
if you were clever.
Are we back on?
Yeah, we are.
It's time to read out some bloody emails.
Luke, have you got an email for us?
I have.
This one is probably outside of the Christmas window.
Right. But I'm going to give it a little pass
because it's a great email, so I'm going to
read it anyway. It is a Christmas-themed one.
Did you still get your tree up? Yes. Then we're still allowed
to read it. My wife refuses to take it down. Good.
I thought I'm going to give it another week or so,
definitely. Yeah, I think we're probably going to go to the end of Jan.
Oh, really? Yeah.
I'm game for a
bit of that, to be honest, yeah.
High-level summit above my pay grade,
but the decision was passed down.
The problem with trying to get fit as well in January
is there's still leftover food from Christmas.
There's so much tat in our house.
Yeah.
So much cat.
But the trick, not to be boring about it,
but the trick is you can still eat all that food.
You just don't eat it all at one go.
Isn't it?
Where did you fucking go?
Sorry.
Dan's been in touch.
I'll eat all of it.
I'll eat all my
Haribo strobs
that's not Christmas food
there's no place
for Haribo at Christmas
the problem with
having a reputation
as someone with a sweet tooth
is that everyone
buys you sweets
over Christmas
well how's that a problem
because you've got to
eat them
like food
what's the most
have you gone through
two packets of Haribo
in one day
oh mate
more than that
more than that really More than that.
Really?
Old drums of Quality Street.
I'm disgusting.
Dead at 50.
The thing is, that was charming and quite risque
when you were 27 and saying that.
Now it's like...
You're 40 in April.
Yeah.
Oh, I tried a new kind of viennetta over Christmas.
Oh, no.
They do a salted caramel one.
It's quite nice.
Also a pound at Iceland, is it?
It's very affordable. Very affordable. at Iceland, is it? It's very affordable.
Very affordable.
But yeah, good.
I enjoyed it.
You were honestly arguing
last time we were in the studio together
that Viennet has worked that bad for you.
Viennet with Baileys on it.
Because it's all crap.
It is.
Well, it's all...
What do you mean?
As in...
Yeah, it's all chemicals on it.
It's all chemicals.
It's very processed, let's say.
I don't think it's...
I don't think it's good for you, mate.
No, it's definitely not good for you.
I mean, they try and say
there's seven servings in it.
I've got two out of it.
How outrageous.
Two.
Yeah, the serving size
is problematic though, isn't it?
Seven.
Have a word with yourself.
So you've got,
you've got 120 calories
per 100 grams.
Oh, right, okay.
And it's 650 grams.
I'm surprised it's even that heavy,
to be honest.
One Viennetta.
Yeah.
So you're looking at probably, I don't know,
I don't know, maybe rudimentary mass,
maybe about 900 odd calories.
People have done it.
Summer wrestlers do it.
People in this room have done it.
Email from Dan.
Anyway, hi, Dan.
He says, lads,
just been catching up on your episodes before Christmas
and heard the story about the mother not going to a nativity play
because her kid was a tree.
Do you remember that, Peter?
Yes, I do.
It was so cruel.
Dan says, this year, my three-year-old point-blank refused to be a shepherd
in his nursery nativity because he wanted to be a worm.
Aw.
He subsequently dressed up, not very wormy.
I think it was a donkey costume adapted to suit,
and threw himself into the nativity with gusto.
He's credited at the end of the DVD we got
as Christmas Worm
and I've never been prouder of him for standing his ground.
Lots of love, Dan.
I like that.
Yeah.
That's a story.
When he's older, that kid, he's going to be interesting.
I think that's a lovely bit of supporting someone
who's got a dream by the teachers as well
allowing them to be
allowing it to be
a Christmas worm
I'd probably
I'd probably just tell him
he was a worm
make him a new shepherd
those three
anyway
thanks for that Dan
fantastic
lovely old job
got an email from
we got
Connor T
you put this email down
but I'm stealing it
because I also had it
a policeman with credentials
gets in touch
you were asking a little earlier on
in our run
this Christmas season
whether having sex in the street
is illegal
and it's
we found out that it isn't
speaking of some of your nights out
trying to get Marcus to drink Baileys
reminding me of a night out
with the four of you ramblers
and the incredible
Doc Brown in Hive
Edinburgh
following your live show
in 2015
good night out do you remember it? good night out yeah I remember good night out I don't remember Hive, Edinburgh, following your live show in 2015. Good night out. Do you remember it?
Good night out. Yeah, I remember.
Good night out. I don't remember Hive. I remember
not being able to get into a couple of places because there was a
queue. Remember queues
for stuff? Yeah, fucking hell.
Far too many Jäger bombs
and maybe glitter bombs were consumed as we kept
buying rounds of them. And since Marcus doesn't
drink, there were plenty of spares for Pete and you to knock back.
See the attached picture
of boozy Pete and me
doing a fucking stupid pout.
I look back and cringe,
thinking I was probably
very annoying back then,
but from multiple blurry photos,
it seemed fun.
And apologies if I wasn't irritation.
I really enjoyed that.
No, listen,
apology accepted,
but you were a fucking disgrace, Connor.
Yeah.
Anyway,
I'm now working as a detective,
so watch yourself. I retract that. Yeah. Having been I'm now working as a detective, so watch yourself.
I retract that.
Having been in the police since 2013
and can confirm sex in public is indeed illegal.
The offences would either be exposure,
getting the gentles out,
intending to be seen and cause someone else's harassment,
alarm or distress, or all three.
Can it be?
Yeah, you're not intending for them to be seen.
If anything, you're trying to hide them on the male part.
So just by getting the old chap out,
being seen with your old chap out is harassment.
Yeah.
It worries me because I've done that with male friends.
Or outraging public decency.
A common law offence meaning committing an act of lewd, obscene and disgusting nature.
I suppose it makes perfect sense because if you're one of those people who goes around flashing, that's harassment, right?
That's harassment, yeah, yeah.
Is that an asexual?
Yeah.
Yeah, if you're outraging public decency in a public place where at least two members of the public have witnessed it.
Why is that the cut off?
I don't know.
Corroborating the witnesses.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Which way was it?
Remember the Rebecca Luce sort of trial where it's like, it's got a distinctive bend to the left or the witnesses. Exactly. Exactly. Which way was it? Remember the Rebecca Liu sort of trial
where it's like,
it's got a distinctive bend to the left or the right.
Oh.
A lot of that going on.
Yeah.
I will try and recall
some of the more amusing circumstances
I've happened upon in my line of work
over the past few years
and share if I am at all able to.
The last part of the actual situation,
the public place
where at least two members of the public have witnessed it,
is kind of the sticking point.
And I'm generally aware
of colleagues who have come across,
pardon the pun,
this kind of behaviour
on the night shift
as it meanders around,
dealing with it
by causing as much embarrassment
as possible
for the copulating couple
and then moving them on
with words of advice.
Words of advice?
Like what?
Do it a bit harder?
What?
Like kind of rating them?
Words of advice?
What do you want to do
a book of the calm sutra yeah um yeah um cheers and i hope you managed to be okay with the late
notice tier four christmases always good to check on in on everyone the listeners will always be
here for you if it's tough on a t is nice community policing on the look and feel show. Yeah, thanks, Colin. As the man, as the copper who found the Yorkshire Ripper
on that Netflix documentary.
Very polished documentary about the Yorkshire Ripper.
Was it good?
Just good coppering.
It was just good coppering.
Is that what he said?
Yeah.
I mean, they dropped a lot of balls in that.
And then it just came around to a bobby on the beat.
Just sort of found him.
Is it a good documentary, that?
You know of him and I'm certainly
more interested in
the maniac that
was Wearside Jack
to be quite frank
but it is an
interesting little
kind of vision of
England in
past times
amazing footage
he was the bloke
who pretended he
was the ripper
and it focused
all of the
police's attention
towards someone coming from Wearside and stuff.
And so they got all these experts in and stuff.
And the hapless detectives in the Yorkshire branch
were obviously focused on this guy being from Wearside.
And he wasn't. He was from Yorkshire, I believe.
Yeah, because Jonathan Wilson, friend of ours
and frequent collaborator.
Was Wearside, Jack?
No, his dad was questioned as suspected of being the Yorkshire Ripper
because of the...
The Wearside connection.
They were hunting a Wearside accent, a beard and some kind of jacket.
Right, okay.
And at one point the manhunt was so large.
I mean, there's so many resources.
They were just basically talking to everyone
who fitted that, basically.
Right.
Which is kind of mad to think of.
Yeah.
But that documentary's good, is it?
Yeah, really, really interesting.
I do enjoy a true crime documentary,
but as I've said to you before,
I find it, I get a bit queasy,
the amount of stuff that's on TV
about people who've just killed women.
Yeah.
It becomes a bit...
Remember we talked about it,
when Zac Efron started playing,
what's his name?
Bundy, I want to say.
Ted Bundy.
Yeah, I mean, it's a bit much.
It's a bit glamorous for my taste.
Well, he was kind of a glamorous murderer,
wasn't he?
He was kind of like this good-looking,
kind of like women wanted him
and he was a bit of a pin-up when he was in court
for murdering a lot of fucking women.
Right.
Incredible.
Incredible.
And just, again, stories of bungling,
well, a police force system that wasn't really,
didn't really fit the crime of the day
because they didn't communicate across state lines and stuff.
And you could just murder, cross state line, murder,
cross state line, murder, and just keep on going going like in the wild west where you could just commit
a crime and go to the next town baby damn right baby yeah opposite to you then ted bundy because
you're not a pinup but also you haven't killed anyone no so sweet to run about um let's get out
of here peter there's about enough time for this um this episode um we will be back on thursday
