battle for the planets of the luke and pete show a new episode is in your pod box i hope your ears devour it with gusto. And the ear tongue enjoys every last morsel.
It's good.
I was expecting you to lose momentum.
No.
I thought that's a bombastic start.
There's no way you can keep this up.
I've not spoken over a bed for a little while.
I've not done radio, so I'm kind of missing it.
I'm quite enjoying the space it allows.
It's not the point that you're missing it.
Are the public missing it?
Well, we'll stay on rage our day, won't we?
We will.
Can you break in under cloak of darkness
and check out the text console,
see if people are asking for you?
Where's Pete?
Pete, I'm still part of the email system, I've noticed.
Are you?
Because when the coronavirus outbreak
obviously happened and continues to happen,
there was an email that went around saying,
just be careful, guys, you know, wash your hands,
bit of alcohol gel here and there will not hurt.
And one of my colleagues, my ex-colleagues, wrote,
since Japan, China, Taiwan,
all of these places are out of action when it comes to going on holiday,
I worry for Pete Donaldson's holidays.
And I replied to him.
I said, I'm still on the email, Brendan.
Oh, you shouldn't have.
Cheeky.
You should have left it and see how mean I was.
How vicious it could get. But also, you shouldn't have. Cheeky. You should have left it and seen how vicious it could get.
But also,
you should have replied all
with you
drinking
a tub of alcohol gel
saying,
mmm, delicious.
I'm having a nice time,
thank you.
I'm always
on the alcohol gel.
I did have a photograph
of me in Japan
with a
surgical mask on
but I thought
that was in bad taste.
Yeah.
Because people
are literally dying. Yeah, and bloody snowflakes. Bloody snowfl in bad taste yeah because people are literally dying
yeah and
bloody snowflakes
bloody snowflakes
what the people are dying
no
people who are upset
would be upset
about a photo of you
dressed in that muscle top
you're wearing today
with a
coronavirus
shield mask on
it looks like I've gone
very badly
my body's gone very badly
my skin's fallen off
when he says muscle top
it's a t-shirt
that has muscles
printed on it
yeah
like a
like a
picture you'd see
in some kind of
I'm going to say
the late 80s
slash early 90s wrestler
John Gonzalez
yeah a little bit of that
but without the hair
without the hair
around the
around the nethers
but no
I'm not wearing
like a kind of
a midlife crisis
muscle top
speaking of that
speaking of midlife crisis, how was your weekend?
It was all right.
What did I do?
Friday, I went for a drink with a friend whose birthday it was.
And then Saturday, I went to see Crystal Palace versus Newcastle United.
And I drank a lot of red wine.
Why red wine?
Because I'm so fancy.
In a stadium?
Red wine is quite a touch at a football match.
Do they even sell it?
Absolutely sink it. Are you in the executive box? I was in a nice area wine's quite a quite a touch at a football match do they even sell it absolutely sink it
are you in the
you in the executive box
I was in
I was in a nice area
okay right
Mick McCarthy was there
Mick McCarthy
oh nice
he's very tall
and I thought
yes of course he's very tall
you expect him to be small
well you expect
old gentlemen to just shrink
but you can't shrink that much
if you're Mick McCarthy
that would be insane
they do
yeah people do start the show
I think it's because
apparently evolutionary speaking,
the spine is only designed
is only sort of around
generally for like 35 years
or something.
Most of human life.
Are we going to replace it at any moment?
I'm already curving.
My neck hurts constantly.
Yeah, you had a problem. Is it to do with your constipation?
No, but if you want to link it to that,
it could be.
Maybe some of my spine has been taken up
with compacted poopies.
Well, the reason I say that is because
you are famously, largely thanks to me,
famously constipated.
And I saw an article which said
there was a guy who had been admitted
into A&E or the doctor's surgery or whatever
because he had problems with his left leg
and it turned out it was because he was constipated.
So I wondered if it was linked to your neck
because you just woke up one morning and your neck was fucked.
Yeah, the worst blues song ever.
Woke up one morning.
I had a dry neck and I thought my head was going to fall off my shoulders.
But this time around when it happened last week,
I wasn't as worried.
Because heads are heavy, aren't they?
Heads, heavy as the head.
Where's the Donny brain?
It's full of nonsense.
But yeah, I went via Uber over a lot of speed bumps,
screaming every time.
That's a pain.
Oh!
Do you know something?
Last week, I had to get an Uber back from somewhere
because it was late.
Was your head falling off?
Don't think so.
No, it wasn't.
My head is massive as well.
Very heavy.
There's a lot of heavy lifting doing this neck here.
Your Luke is obsessed with people's heads size.
If we ever go for a meeting with someone,
he's always sizing up the person we're meeting's head.
It's lucky for me because you have got a normal size head.
So there's no problem with it.
I can't figure out whether I've got a pinhead or a big head.
It's normal.
Is it?
Yeah, I think it's normal.
Trust me, I've spent a lot of time looking at the size of people's heads.
Anyway, I was in this Uber, and it was about an hour.
And I know this makes me sound like a delicate flower and all the rest of it,
but I was so sick when I got out.
I just felt terrible.
Speed bumps, stopping and starting, hot.
Were you looking at your phone, though?
I was trying to avoid it.
I was trying to avoid it.
If I'm in a rush and I'm a bit tired
or I've not eaten
or I've eaten too much
looking at my phone
makes me incredibly car sick.
It's weird.
You've got to be
in the right frame of mind
for a car journey.
An Uber's always like
a last minute
got to get somewhere
really, really quick
kind of situation.
I got from here
to City Airport
in about half an hour
when I had to go.
Incredible.
Incredible driving
from the man.
Yeah. Do you remember I told the story that I had to put really incredible incredible driving from the man yeah
do you remember
I told the story
that I had to put
that suit in an Uber
yes you did
and that guy
I thought to myself
is it worth him
losing his licence
for this
yes actually
yeah for me
it is
because it's really
important
but obviously
nothing happens
I'd love to hear
any crazy stories
from Uber drivers
if anybody listens to
good shout
if anybody listens to
the Luke and Pete show
while they're driving around
in an Uber
hello to the passenger
anywhere in the world
there is a £50 soiling charge
yeah
this Uber is fully licensed
and he ain't gonna touch you
I don't think anyone
I don't think anyone's
gonna be so stupid
given how Uber drivers are so protective over their ratings I don't think anyone's gonna be so so stupid, given how Uber drivers are so protective over their ratings.
I don't think anyone's going to be so stupid
as to put the Luke and Pete show in the fucking Uber.
I mean, that is a low percentage move.
There's a chance they'll fucking love it,
but there's a much bigger chance they are going to give you one star.
Would you like to put your own music on, sir?
Yes, the Luke and Pete show.
Give us the aux cable, bitch.
Yeah, I want that Doc Brown sample on Luke. would you like to put your own music on sir yes give us the arx cable bitch yeah
I want that
Doc Brown sample
on loop
and by the way Pete
I went to see the
Tutankhamen exhibition
yesterday
oh you were giving it
the big licks last week
you were really excited
like a little boy
it's good
little
spooky boy
who likes Egyptian things
it was really interesting
was his death mask there
no
doesn't go out of
Cairo apparently
fuck's sake
there's loads of good stuff
I would not send anything to London
because we'll steal it like Elgin Marbles.
Do you know what it made me think of?
It made me think of...
This is a bit morbid,
but if someone in your family dies
or someone you're close to dies,
there's a lot of admin, right?
Between their sad demise and the funeral,
particularly,
there's a lot of admin.
That's why I think the funeral kind of is,
obviously it's a cathartic thing for a number of reasons.
But a lot of it is that, right, okay, now it's happened.
Because it doesn't feel like it's happened
until you get through all the admin.
And I was just thinking when I was walking around
that Tutankhamen exhibition,
I mean, he was buried in like three different rooms,
like a big mausoleum tomb, full of stuff.
And I just thought to myself,
what about the people who've had to do all the stuff
to help him in the afterlife?
Do you know what I mean?
So guess what?
I mean, this is the scenario.
So I'm the king's emissary or whatever,
and I come to you and you're the best, I don't know,
chair maker in Egypt.
And I say, by the way, bad news, king's dead.
What's his name the Pharaoh's dead
because news will travel slowly then
because it's three and a half thousand years ago
some papyrus
yeah probably
King's dead
and he's going to have to show
a load of kind of grief
outwardly
because he's going to be sad
that the boy king
at the age of 19 has died
unexpectedly
but then he's thinking
fucking hell I've got to make five different gold fucking chairs now you know, the boy king at the age of 19 has died, unexpectedly. But then he's thinking,
fucking hell,
I've got to make five different gold fucking chairs now,
and all they're going to do is stuck in the ground.
Look, this is exactly why sofa makers piss me off.
When they sell you a sofa,
that sofa doesn't exist in the world,
and it really grinds my gears that you've got to wait four months
for them to make the fucking thing that you've ordered.
Shouldn't be selling it.
Shouldn't be selling it
unless you own it.
Unbelievable.
So he's only got himself
to blame in that
particular situation.
Friend of small businesses
big time.
You should be making
a hundred of them
and they give a shit
if you sell them or not.
Yeah, I just like the idea.
Don't just wait
until somebody needs one.
It's like when you go
at Dixie Chicken
on Kentonish Town High Street.
It wasn't even
Dixie Chicken, was it? It was Sam's Chicken Chicken.
Not there anymore. But
they wouldn't
cook the chips until you asked for them. The chicken
would be ready, but then you go, can I have some
chips with them? Some fries?
Make them all ready. You're always going to sell
fries, mate. And no one's going to complain that
they're old fries. Just stick them under
the heater. Most people are pissed.
Exactly. I'm in Sam's are pissed exactly I'm not a
I'm in Sam's Chicken
chicken
I'm not a discerning
consumer of food
so just have them ready
so I don't have to wait
for you to fry some new
red hot
bloody chips
but if you were
I mean even
even people know
that you're not even
a fetishiser of food anyway
so you'll just chuck
anything down your gob
I'll give you a quick
restaurant review
go on
Mr G's Chicken
on Old Cotton Street
over the road from my Old Cotton Street over the road
from my house
actually
not over the road
from my house
yeah
disgusting
if my mam
went to
Heron Hall Foods
or Iceland
and made her own
chicken shop
Taiwanese style
I'm putting in
massive inverted
finger commas
that's what it
would taste like
gross
but they're not
but people
they just want people
walking past pissed,
don't they?
So get in here.
No,
they've got the design,
they've got all of like
the kanji on the wall,
it looks cool
and then I had
what could only be described
as some,
it looked like,
it was like Iceland food.
It was like,
not that Iceland food
is terrible,
but like really cheap
chicken nuggets
that they've put a bit of
seasoning on the top of
awful
that's why mum's
gone to Iceland
yeah that's not great
I mean
I'm glad
because that would
cause me a problem
if there was a delicious
chicken shop over the road
from me
a chicken shop
me and G
kind of the only thing
that Tutankhamen
didn't fucking have
in his tomb
so what else did they have
going back to the
thing you mentioned
the idea was
so they died
they believed the ancient Egyptians that idea was so they died they believed
the ancient Egyptians
that people died twice
they died once
when they physically died
and then died again
when the last person
spoke their name
and during the death process
they had to go through
the nether world
to get to paradise
so the idea was
you bury
particularly someone
of importance
like a pharaoh
with all this stuff
to help him in the afterlife
so it's kind of these little so you're not starting from zero no you of importance like a pharaoh with all this stuff to help him in the afterlife so it's kind of these little
so you're not starting from zero
no
you don't want a pharaoh
to rock up in the afterlife
nothing on
have to like
no weapon
you know bob a job
you know
but spy for a bit
and make his way again
no
and the problem is
like
we've been invaded
where's all the weapons
they're in the fucking tomb
we can't dig them out again
because that would be disrespectful.
Didn't they chuck a lot of cats in there as well?
Wasn't that a thing?
They loved cats.
They loved mummy-fying cats.
They flung a couple of them in.
That wasn't included in the exhibition.
Maybe they thought that was a poor taste.
But one thing that is absolutely remarkable,
and I'm sure many people know the story of Howard Carter
and the discovery of the tomb like 100 years ago or whatever.
I think it was around 100 years ago.
I'm fairly certain that's why
that exhibition is there.
On its world tour, U2 style.
Yeah.
The condition of it is unbelievable.
So it's been buried, obviously,
and it's been discovered 100 years ago.
Honestly, some of the stuff in there,
which is made of wood,
it's not made of a really hard-wearing metal or anything the stuff in there, which is made of wood, it's not made of like a really hard-wearing metal
or anything on all of it.
It's made of wood
and it's gilded with like
gold leaf or whatever.
It looks,
Pete, honestly,
if I put it in front of you now,
it looks like...
You'd think it was like a chair
that you'd buy in like a shabby,
shabby chic.
But it's not even shabby chic,
it looks perfect.
Right.
You could have thought
it was made yesterday.
It's incredible,
the detail.
And the ornate kind of jewellery.
It is amazing.
And the thing is, I find, you can make an argument,
it's the most beautiful thing ever been discovered.
It's certainly the most important archaeological discovery ever.
And it's priceless, right?
I mean, the only person you could sell that to
if you came into possession of it
is some kind of criminal gang, presumably.
Because no one's going to buy it off you.
Oh yeah, give me a million quid.
What is it?
It's this from the two in common.
I can't fucking buy that.
Because if I display it at any point,
I'm just going to get fucking arrested.
Well, yeah, exactly.
It's amazing.
I wonder how much stuff went missing
because I reckon he definitely...
He's dead now,
so what I like about him.
I reckon he definitely went...
Down to the curse.
We found 5300
5100
priceless artefacts
what's in that bag
that's my lunch
mate if you
if you discover it
you're allowed to take a
you know
pull an eagle's head
off the eagle
it was funded by
it was funded by
like a wealthy aristocrat
who I think was in charge
of the whole thing
so I'm pretty sure
that he had good
good
kind of control over the whole thing
probably want to know
if there was any
aristocats in there
yeah
all mummified and that
that's really great
but is O'Malley
the alley cat in there
do you know the names
of the alley cats
that's the only one I know
it's from the song
it's from the song
it used to fascinate me
when I was a kid.
It was one of the things that my teachers always said about me.
I was obsessed with ancient Egypt, which is really weird.
That's a cool thing, though.
The boy king.
But I was obsessed with the fact that I think I just like traps.
Right.
Yeah, where you go into the pyramid and then you'd find yourself in a chamber that was the wrong chamber.
And you're dead.
That's the end of you.
That's the end of you that's the end of you
mate
Indiana Jones style
do you find a lot of
your knowledge of
ancient Egypt comes
from the
Tomb Raider
Brendan Fraser
vehicle the mummy
I've never seen that
oh really
but I wish
Brendan Fraser
I know Brendan Fraser
needs to come back
soon and he probably
will have a bit of a
career renaissance
but I do miss him a
little bit because
I've never seen any
films he's been in
but I always just like
having him around
yeah he seems quite
he's quite a comforting
presence
nice big grin
big pearly fella
yeah
in a different world
I think he's doing now
what The Rock was doing
what do you mean
The Rock's massive now
yeah
in another world
I feel like
another sort of
parallel universe
that could have been
Brendan Fraser
well he was in a film
with The Rock wasn't he
that's what I'm saying
their paths have
diverged haven't they
and in The Mummy,
the mummy that comes back,
he's looking for Anxanamun, isn't he?
And I think that is the name
of the real-life wife to Tutankhamun.
Ah.
Does she live a long and full life?
What did Tutankhamun die of?
They don't know.
They're not sure.
He died at 19.
He ascended to the throne at nine,
died at 19.
There was talk for a while that it was a blow to the head. Right. But that was proven to have happened after he died at 19 he ascended to the throne at 9 died at 19 there was talk for a while
that it was a blow to the head
right
but that was proven
to have happened after he died
probably when they're moving him around
or whatever
clumsy
that's the Viking
you got one job
yeah yeah
and they had
two stillborn children
who were buried
and mummified with him
right
I'm not sure what happened
to his wife
the question was
how did he die
I don't know I think it might have been to his wife the question was how did he die I don't know
I think it might have been
interestingly there was
this is fucking brilliant by the way
I forgot to say this
wasn't mentioned
I was looking out for that because that's the only thing I remember from school
but one thing I found absolutely fascinating
is that
so if you've heard, everyone's heard of this
but just to check that you have as well
the curse of the tomb.
So the idea that all these people died
and all this shit happened,
right?
Love this, right?
That was made up
when it was discovered
by guess who?
Ooh.
The Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
No,
what do you mean?
No, he was dead by then.
Yeah, okay.
The fucking Daily Mail.
Really?
They made it up.
Howard Carter died by an infected...
Oh, no.
Lord Carnarvon died by an infected mosquito bite.
Right.
And Howard Carter died of cancer
quite a long time later.
Right.
But they...
Curse.
They jumped onto Carnarvon
and said, oh, yeah, this is a curse.
This has happened.
That's happened.
All this stuff.
It was completely made up. Do you reckon they invented the curse of Strictly as well? They probably did. this is the curse, this has happened, that's happened, all this stuff. It was completely made up.
I reckon they invented
the curse of Strictly as well.
They probably did.
What is the curse of Strictly?
Oh, they keep fucking each other.
That's not the curse, is it?
People just want to have sex
with each other.
Yeah, I know,
but to give it a name,
they gave it a name
so they invented the curse
of Strictly, et cetera.
What is your favourite curse?
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com
Tell us your favourite curse.
Is there another one
you can think of?
What?
I forgot the word fuck.
What's that got to do with it?
Curse.
Oh, okay.
Get with it.
I don't mean the swears.
I don't mean the swears.
Speaking of Poindexter,
you called a child
a Poindexter this morning.
I always call Michael Cox
of Zona Market
a Poindexter as well.
Do you know what
Poindexter is?
It's like a geek kid in a nerd. I called a kid a poindexter as well. Do you know what a poindexter is? No, it's like a geek kid.
Yeah, nerd.
I called a kid a poindexter because someone shared a story to me
that a kid was volunteering at the local police station
washing police cars for free.
Get the fuck out of it.
If that's not a scam, get the fuck out of it.
If it is a scam, good on you.
Because that is good ambition for a young kid.
I mean, what is going on?
If my kid said that to me, I'd have to sit down with him and say, look, come on.
I'm going to need to look at that laptop, buddy.
You can be community-spirited, wash normal people's cars.
Normal people?
You're saying police people aren't normal.
One of my closest friends is a police officer.
Cool.
And if he was in here now, he would say himself,
I'm Art Normal.
Wrong.
I'm going to find
his Western Digital.
They do an amazingly
important job,
but I just don't think
a kid needs to be
spending his time
doing that.
Do extra homework
or something.
That's going to stand
you in better stead.
Do extra homework.
Isn't it?
You're a Poindexter now.
I am.
All right,
let's have a break
and after the day
we come back,
we'll do some of your
emails and your homework.
Oh, love your job.
Hey,
he looks just like
you, Poindexter.

No.
And nobody said life was easy,
so if you get knocked down, take the standing eight count,
get back up and fight again.
No, it's just Macho Man running,
so he's giving us a little bit of advice about life.
It's great because you can't take a standing eight count
unless you're standing,
and he says take the standing eight count and then get up.
There are some wrestling terms I haven't got a bloody clue
oh we should do a bit
of the boxing actually
remember we did that
on Thursday
oh yeah
the punchings
punchings happen
did he do
what's his
who's the guy
should we do it now
because Thursday
will be too late
the Gypsy King
what's his name
Tyson Fury
did he choose
at one point
to use the
one Anthony Joshua
punch
oh he should have
maybe he did
that's how he won
he was bestowed upon him with one Anthony Joshua punch. Oh, he should have. Maybe he did. That's how he won.
He was bestowed upon him with one Anthony Joshua punch.
But I'm saving this.
Did you see that guy on LinkedIn?
It was claiming me.
Yeah, that was great.
Claiming Tyson Fury.
I took Tyson Fury aside three years ago
and said, look,
your hand's as big as my head.
You can do this.
You can do this.
Get on the comeback trail.
He lost 10 stone and went on the comeback trail.
I love it.
It's amazing. I love broken trail. I love it. It's amazing.
I love broken men.
I love weird men.
Well, that's obvious why.
Yeah.
Can I just say also, your continued ability to forget the name of the world's most famous people is amazing.
So I know.
Yeah, but I've always got something to link into it.
And it's a little puzzle for you and the listeners.
I know.
I can understand why you'd forget the name of, you know, some obscure athlete
or politician from back in the day. Tyson Fury
has probably been the most famous person in the world
over the last 48 hours.
Yeah, I'd take that. I just don't care
enough. No, you don't. It was amazing.
Linus Tech Tips, I can tell you what they reviewed yesterday.
Go on. What did they review yesterday?
Tech Tips? They reviewed
an unbreakable television recently.
I watched that one.
They told me...
What do they mean by that?
So you could just chuck it on the floor and it wouldn't break?
Yeah, you could give it a good old booting.
Yeah.
And I quite like the fact that they've got a Chinese kid in the...
It's a big studio that's in Canada that employs 30, 40 people.
And all they do is just make tech YouTube every single day.
Tech, tech, tech, tech, tech.
Is that your dream job?
No, it was quite stressful, actually.
It's three or four videos released every day on different channels.
They are a behemoth.
How do they get their hands on the tech?
Well, they order weird tech from Alibaba and also like Wistock,
like weird kind of like Chinese providers
and stuff. They've got hookups all around the world
and
they just keep on reviewing weird
smartphones, weird tellies, weird
computers. They do little projects that
they try and overclock
or water cool things that shouldn't be water cooled.
They water cooled a mobile phone
or rather used some kind of technology to
cool a mobile phone to improve its performance and it really did work very well um so i watch all this stuff uh but i
really like this chinese uh kid who just gets brought in to read the chinese on the side of
everything because obviously everything is because of china if you're buying a bit hooky of you you're
buying a version that only came out in china yeah this kid just comes in and goes yeah it's just
telly yeah that that's just says television. Oh, really? He always goes, yeah, that just says television.
He's a full-time translator.
And I was like,
just learn the kanji
for television, mate.
Yeah, you should know that by now.
You should know that by now.
You review tellies
every single day.
You know what television looks like.
Yeah, I mean,
I can't speak Italian,
but I know what ciao means.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So where were you going with that?
I'm just saying that's the part of my brain dedicated to...
You said, do you want to know what they've been up to?
A groundbreaking telly, what happened?
Oh, they kicked it, they punched it, and it was fine.
Absolutely fine.
It's exactly as you'd expect.
It's exactly as you'd expect,
but it was quite an interesting little project,
just seeing people karate kick tellies.
It's lovely.
It really is rather lovely.
You're going to have to do a couple of emails.
I'll do them now.
I've been locked out of...
I've got a user recovery email address on my mobile phone.
I'll do the emails, no problem.
You can get them ready for the next time.
This is one from...
I think his name's Dre, which is a great name.
D-R-A-Y.
Lovely.
It's about old man names.
He says,
Hi, guys. I moved to Ireland five years ago when I was 12.
When I arrived, I met many Johns, Kevins, Pauls, Barrys and Marks,
all with the age range of 9 to 13,
meaning they're all no older than 18 today.
Dre from Bantry.
So we said you wouldn't find young people named those names.
Right.
What were the names again?
Pile Foo?
John?
John's a bit of an evergreen name,
I would say.
Kevin?
Less so.
Baby Kevin's funny.
Paul?
Baby Paul is funny.
Why are these all funny?
That's weird, isn't it?
Is it because we've grown up
with these names?
So grown up people have names
like Paul and Kevin and Steve
and Luke and me.
There's going to be a time.
Baby Luke's funny.
There's going to be a time where
these names come around again
and we're going to
feel old
or find it funny
maybe it's happening
but
I don't agree with you
on John
I think if you
if someone
says I had a baby
really pleased
mother and baby
doing well
etc etc
John was born
I mean
is it just like a church thing?
Like we were kind of obviously...
Well, they're biblical names.
John and Paul are biblical names.
John, Paul,
all those ones,
like they're kind of...
Then is it just because
we just think about
the cross less?
We're just less...
One of them is Barry.
Driven by it.
Barry is not...
Barry the baby's...
It's not right, is it?
It's not right.
Do you want to come over? Are you coming over? Bring Barry. Barry should not be a baby it's not right is it it's not right do you want to come
you coming over
bring Barry
Barry should not be a baby
in that situation
Barry sounds like a car
or a hoover
should be a fucking dog
Barry the dog's a good name
anyway so
apparently in Ireland
they're all the rage
apparently
18 years ago
so 2002
people were still
naming their babies
John, Kevin, Paul, Barry
and or Mark
Barry
yeah that's Mark the baby sounds like an instruction We're still naming their babies John, Kevin, Paul, Barry and or Mark. Barry.
Mark the baby.
Sounds like an instruction.
Mark the baby.
I don't want to get it mixed up with the other babies.
Yeah.
This is a good email from regular email James Tortoise.
He says, hi guys, I'm a couple of episodes behind.
So apologies if you've heard this, but I've just heard the Buck Bumble episode from a few weeks back from a buck bumble it's a wicked grime soundtrack to an n64 game
okay it's really good uh he says it reminded me of this classic arguably the first proper grime
track from way back in 1994 this is the theme tune pete to the super nintendo snes game snes game the Super Nintendo SNES game, Wolverine Adamantium Rage.
Are you familiar with the game?
I know his bones are made of adamantium,
or it's grafted onto his bones anyway.
Why he'd be in a rage, I don't know,
but let's find out.
He looks very angry on the cover.
Listen to this.
That sample's horrible, isn't it?
Yeah! You can imagine it, isn't it? Yeah.
You can imagine it, can't you?
Yeah.
Give us some bass drum.
Come on.
There we go.
Oh.
Good, right?
This is like every UK garage night in Leicester
in the late 90s.
Yeah.
It's on the darker side of...
It's scary, isn't it?
It's quite drill.
1994, this.
This is cool.
If you heard this on the radio now...
Well, if you just ran that MIDI,
I mean, you could probably get that MIDI
transformed into something better,
that sounded better.
I'd love to hear an updated version of that.
If there are any grime artists listening,
don't sleep on this.
Give us the casualty theme
on the top of it.
Yeah.
Lovely old job.
Amazing, right?
That is a banger.
I usually don't like
old video game music,
but that is a banger.
Really good song.
I think that
it's one of those ones
where sometimes
you'll hear a song
that's released five years ago
and you think,
oh, that sounds old.
Yeah.
And sometimes you hear a song
that in this case
is released, what, 25, 26 years ago and it still sounds fresh fresh
um here we go here's another here's a listener um who i mean i give as i said to some some of
our listeners already before i do a little bold sentence pricey on top of all the emails just so
i know what they're about so i know what's coming up it's obviously the night before i go through them um and um this the sentence i wrote last night for this email is
a listener we have undoubtedly offended whose son's name is john oh no hi boys big fan i have
a 22 month old called john he goes by johnny which works better yeah for a toddler he is named after
his grandfather who was himself named after his uncle, so the lineage
played a part, especially in our Greek family
where naming after a grandparent
is common and a sign of respect.
Admit it is a bit weird when we take him to swimming
classes and it's full of babies and the instructor
does a roll call and yells out John.
We do find ourselves telling people they can call
him Johnny, but nonetheless, we were
much more happy giving him a more traditional name.
Oh, it'll all calm down. Lots of love, Nick. What's Nick's... Can we dock something more happy giving him a more traditional name lots of love
Nick
what's Nick's
can we
can we
dox him
have we got a
second name
is it a very
Greek second name
I'll have to check
I mean you're
not even in
let me find it
I can't get in
because somebody's
sent the recovery
email to something
that's not me
it's Lord Ramble
it's your problem
it's called
Nick
I can't find it, mate.
Oh, Nick...
Oh, yeah, it's got a Greek name.
Nick Totsidis.
Totsidis.
Yeah.
That's a cool name.
I like that.
Yeah, so...
John Totsidis sounds quite good.
Johnny Totsidis sounds wicked.
Johnny Totsidis sounds like a man
who commentates on the football on Five Live.
Sounds like a man.
Let's leave it at that.
Sounds like a man.
Let's leave it at that.
We have got quite a few telemarketer emails as well
oh lovely old job
but we'll do those
excuse me
we'll do those next week
hello what's up in there
I've got a little bit
curse of belly
because I thought you
curse tootin carmoon
don't bring your
bloody tootin carmoon
polio nonsense around here please
well because
because I did a burp
yeah
that's a symptom of polio
it's the first sign
is it
because I thought
you were going
to be on time
right
I wasn't on time
I was a minute
past
I smashed my
porridge down
as quick as
possible
and that's
repeating on me
but we're going
to do the
telemarketer
homework next
week before we
set more
homework because
the reason why
is I've got an
email here that
I've been meaning
to do for ages
and I haven't
squeezed in
it's from Matt
and I'm going
to squeeze it
in now
it's about
attic finds
and free
DVDs from a
few weeks
back
and it's a good one so I going to squeeze it in now it's about attic finds and free DVDs from a few weeks back that you saw
and it's a good one
so I want to include it
attic discovery
says Matt
after this podcast
after I listened to that episode
of the podcast
I've ventured up
into my attic room
which has been converted
into a bedroom
we don't use the room
very often
and it's generally
full of junk
I love that
spit all that money
converting it
still use it isn't it
what's the difference
it's just got a carpet and a window now.
Dumping ground.
Costs 40 grand.
Love it.
I ascended the staircase knowing, quite honestly,
there wasn't much of interest, but I wanted to get involved.
This was my moment to finally be a part of the show.
Upon reaching the landing and stepping through the door threshold,
my barefoot stepped on something that can only be described as crusty.
I switched on the light, aimed my eyes to the floor
and discovered some crusty old cat sick.
Oh, that's all right.
I thought it was going to be like a mouse or a bat.
Yeah.
He said he was fuming.
It's like you wash your foot afterwards.
Hopped down the stairs and then washed your foot.
And then free DVDs.
Around 2000, says Matt.
And after a tidy little bonus from work,
my old man decided to make a purchase for the ages.
A Pioneer 5.1 Dolby Surround sound system.
Hello.
That looks chunky.
That feels chunky.
I think that's going to be weighty.
It's good.
I love late 90s, early 2000s tech.
It's the only bit of tech I'm not into.
No.
Well, the problem is you're saying it's weighty.
It's probably not going to be.
It's going to be really plastic.
Yeah.
Which didn't sound quite as good.
Matt goes on to say, my dad was very proud with his latest tech purchase. The's going to be really plastic. Yeah. Which didn't sound quite as good. Matt goes on to say,
my dad was very proud
with his latest tech purchase.
The three DVDs contained the following.
Shrek,
Spider-Man,
and one of Arnie's finest,
The Sixth Day.
That isn't one of Arnie's finest.
I don't remember.
I do kind of remember The Sixth Day,
but it was definitely one of his later ones,
wasn't it?
You can't say it's one of his finest.
No, no, no, no, no,
not in the slightest.
I can't remember what it was
about. I'll tell you. In the distant future,
human cloning technology falls
into the destructive, corrupt hands of a multinational
corporation, but one
man refuses to be a pawn in this deadly
conspiracy. I think that might be Arnie.
I'll hedge my bets.
The anticipation of getting everything set up
for later that night to enjoy our first movie in the
new Surround Sun experience was amazing.
Cue hilarity, though, at watching my dad spend hours in furious frustration
not knowing what the fuck he was doing.
Meanwhile, listening to my mum sarcastically ask the eponymous question
to the man of the house, when setting anything up,
have you read the instructions?
No, there's nothing worse.
And then you do read the instructions, you realise the male ego
is quite destructive sometimes.
It's not...
I'll just pile in there and see how it goes.
Oh, I've read the instructions and I've busted it.
Yeah, exactly.
Eponymous doesn't mean that, by the way, Matt, but that's okay.
We can cover that another day.
Don't correct people's emails.
Start correcting me constantly.
But Pete, you say that one of the best things about being a broadcaster is that when I correct
you because you're wrong, but my correction is also wrong and then we're both wrong.
That's kind of our whole problem. No, no, no, no.
The dream is that I was right in the first place.
Well that never happens. No, that's happened a couple
of times and I get
erections.
I get big old poppers.
Big old morning poppers
over it.
When's the last time
I've corrected you when you've been
right all along
I can't remember
a video I watched
yesterday so I mean
you're not going to
remember that but
it's so important to
you you'd think you'd
be able to remember
it
I'm sure our
listeners will remind
us
hello at lukeandpeach.com
that's about as much
time as we've got
for today
hope you have an
excellent rest of your
Monday

well and we'll be

your homework we'll do some other bits and pieces we'll set you a good week as well. And we're back on Thursday. We'll do some of your homework.
We'll do some other bits and pieces.
We'll set you some more homework as well.
It'll be lots of fun.
So we'll see you then.
Lovely.
I'm going to play us out.
I'm not going to use the usual theme.
I'm going to use this, Attic Attack.
The theme tuned to Attic Attack.
You know that one?
No.
Oh, the person who's uploaded it has not included the music.
So let's use the normal music
I'm working with
amateurs here
on the internet
can't get the email box This was a Stakhanov production.
