It's the LucaPete Show. We're just talking about human pop shields and being able to
grow your own sort of microphone popping device by just growing your moustache thicker and
thicker.
Will people listen to know what a pop shield is, Pete? You want to explain it in your own
inimitable style.
I reckon people will probably know, and if they don't know they'll probably figure it out But if they can't do either of those things, it's basically a mesh that prevents
you from producing plosives like tits and
punani
Don't think I've ever said the word punani out loud that's
That's a real shame. That's a good thing.
It is a good thing. How are you doing? Are you all right? Are you all right?
I'm okay, Peter. All things considered, I'm okay. No complaints.
I love it.
Had a nice weekend.
What did you do?
Took my son to Peckham town.
You're becoming a real regular fixture at Peckham town and your son's becoming a real ultra.
real regular fixture at Peckham town and your son's becoming a real ultra.
Yeah. I mean, if being an ultra consists of standing next to my son,
who's sitting on the little fence bit shouting, go Peckham, go Peckham, this makes me an ultra, then I'm guilty as charged.
Yeah. But yeah, I'm okay. No real complaints. The mustache is still there.
I mean, that's what we were talking about, it wasn't it?
Because you said, if I grew the mustache long enough,
it could be like a human pop shield.
And that will protect us all from your plosives.
But I think there is a limit to what one should do with a mustache.
What do you mean? The people who sort of really dick about with it and then they attend like
mustache conferences and people who make little travel clefs out of them and sticks things
in them and they just look dirty. They always just look a bit dirty and shiny.
They've all got very greasy skin.
I find mustache enthusiasts, I don't know why.
Yeah, I don't like the full kind of dick strawberry type look either.
It's just very, very bushy.
It's not for me.
No, you've got to keep it taut and keep it tight.
Anyway, what's new with you?
What's new with me? What's been happening with me?
What do I do this week?
Are you looking forward to your holiday?
No.
Do you look forward to having a family holiday with a small child?
I don't think so.
I don't think there's...
Got a balcony.
Could probably look at some waves.
Look at...
In the sunshine, I suppose.
Why are you doing it then?
I don't know.
To make unforgettable memories for your child.
To make unforgettable.
I think it's one of those things that people feel like they have to do and it's very much
a leap into the unknown.
I can barely handle travelling with myself on most trips so dealing with this is a whole
different ball game but if there's any sort of hints and tips that I'm going to throw
my way by the time I get them I will be full floor.
I told you you were just just gotta throw money at it.
You just gotta throw money at the problem.
It's the only thing you can do in that situation.
I would like to, if I could have my way,
I'd like to purge myself of any of the
modern world's expectations of things that I have to do.
That's the key to happiness actually.
Yeah, well, you just don't wear your top? Just walk around topless?
No, I wear clothes.
Food down your top.
Food down your top.
Food down yourself.
That doesn't mean, I'm in the routine with clothes. I don't mind clothes. I don't mind
brushing my teeth. Don't mind having a shower. I don't want it, but I don't want to do anything.
That's the point. As you get older, you realize you don't want to do anything you don't want to do anymore.
That's really what money gets you, is that kind of convenience of lifestyle and of resource
that means you no longer have to do stuff.
When you're really, really wealthy and you go on a family holiday, it's going to be a
lot easier because money's no object.
You can travel at a convenient time in a convenient way go to a convenient place to the luxury when you're there will
Be good and it'll just be like a home from home really
But the point is if you've not got loads of money every single endeavor you embark upon
Usually involves some kind of compromise. Yes, definitely and I think
How cheap could a
Traveling nanny be do Do you know what I mean?
A little sort of Mary Poppins sort of person. Because if I had my way with it...
Is there a vacancy there? Because I wouldn't buy...
Right now, I... Do you know that picture of Paul Guscombe when he was having a terrible
time and he was outside his house in a robe and he looked like a pink lizard? Do you remember?
It was a low point for Paul, I imagine, and a low point for the
Sun newspaper that reported on it. A low point for Paul among many low points. Exactly, sadly.
There was a little bit of me that thought, yeah, he's doing what he wants. And in many ways,
that's how I would like to spend the next seven days. Just in a robe, weaving around cars in my street,
off me head.
In Yarm, wherever Izzy lives.
With my balls out, just doing what God intended.
Here's a question for you Peter.
Could currently now, can Paul Gascoigne still afford to live in Yarm?
It's a good point actually yeah it's a really nice part of the North East Yarm slash Yorkshire and I think you've got to have
a pretty penny yeah I mean how much is too much I mean he must have had a
couple of houses in this time somebody at some point must have said just
squirrel a bit of money away just to get yourself a house and stuff and that's
that's yours that's safe. I think that ship may have sailed
sadly. And I'm genuinely not taking the piss off. I know he's a look, can't, it's one of
those ones, isn't it? Can't defend any lot of his actions. Wouldn't seek to do so, but
clearly a troubled man. Correct. But I know what you're saying. If he's got to the point
where he's doing everything on his own terms, there's some light at the end of that particularly dark tunnel. If you could
live your life exactly how you wanted at all times, bearing in mind you've got a family,
you've got a partner, you've got a child, they are still included in that, how different
would your life be?
Exactly the same, except the toddler wouldn't come in the toilet while I'm doing my poo.
I mean, my key to happiness is very much a small three dollar lock that I could very
easily install. But then...
That is the challenge, isn't it? If you're solo parenting, how do you approach the poo
argument?
I grab the door handle, which is an easy reach, and I scream repeatedly for the five minutes
that I'm doing my ablutions, daddy's having a poo, daddy's having a wee, don't come in,
daddy's having, and she's just screaming or shouting wee wee. It's, it's, it really, I have, like you find working with me difficult, but I've very much,
the seeds have been sown and I'm dealing with much bigger problems than you've ever had
to deal with.
Well, I can see that by looking at you.
At no point, Luke, during a look at Pete's show, have I ever looked at you straight in
the eye and went, ah, with my hand out like I'm Luke
Skywalker or something, doing a force push on me.
I don't find you, first of all we're gonna go, I do want to talk about children and
door handles in a minute, but before I do, I don't find you as difficult as I used to
because you've changed a bit and I think I've changed a bit.
Amy Seacher the less.
Amy Seacher the LS for sure.
But I do, it's not that I find you difficult
because that makes you sound bad
and I'm not ascribing in a value judgment to how you are
because I like how you are
and you can't help a lot of the stuff you do.
But.
That's not even mental illness.
Yeah, well.
Carry on.
I'm not medically qualified to decide that, Peter, but you know,
there's circumstantial stuff that I will look at. No, but I think some, I just think,
it was always the unpredictability of it. Which makes me, made me feel very uncertain. So if you're
in a situation where you don't know if the guy's going to make it. Is he going to be there?
Who knows?
What's he going to be like?
Don't know.
What's he going to be wearing?
Impossible to say.
You've got me down.
You've walked me down to a lovely, smooth pebble of people.
It's one of my proudest achievements that while genuinely one of the most interesting
people I've ever met in my life has been ground down into someone who's far less interested
because of my behaviour.
Yeah, it's a good point actually.
I would say, can I just, joking aside, my son worked out that the door handles work,
and that's how you open the door, by running as fast as he could down the corridor, stumbling,
reaching his hand out to correct himself, grabbing hold of one of the door handles and
violently flinging the door open. Yeah, that's like, is there an invention that's been,
at that point, the invention, like an invention that's been, it's been invented as when they were
looking for something else, do you know what I mean? Like a kind of something that was, like the
post-it. What was that for? What was the Post-It's...
There was a guy who was trying to develop a really strong glue, but he couldn't.
Right. So he did a shit glue.
And he was like, oh, this glue is crap, but it might be really handy for something else.
And then he invented the Post-It glue.
I once worked with a guy who claimed that his grandfather was that person.
But this was in Auckland in New Zealand in 2003.
And I didn't interrogate it further
because I was working without a visa
and I didn't want to cause any problems.
But also because he seemed like, I was, illegally.
I, he also seemed like a total fantasist.
I was thinking to myself, this is a pretty
shitty job we're doing here, right? It is poor. I understand that if you're the grandson
of a wealthy dynasty, you might still want a job, but not this. There's no way you're
doing this. So I wasn't sure if that was the case, but that is apparently how the post
it was invented. I've got a post it on the wall in front of me right now which has been stuck to a
notice board above my desk. I reckon for five years plus and it's never come off. So I mean it depends on I guess what situation it's in I suppose. It can't be too damp,
can't be too hot, can't be too cold. Either way it's stuck to your wall for that length of time.
So it must just be temporary.
It must be temporary.
Now done that.
Peter can I ask you a question?
Here's a question for you.
What's your skincare regime?
Oh, what is my skincare?
Talk to me about the products you use and how often you use them.
In the shower in the morning,
I will take some shower gel
and do a little bit on the cheeks,
a little bit on the forehead, around the nose,
and then it's armpits and bollocks,
and then that's it really.
That's my whole.
That's the sum total of your grooming.
Sum total of my grooming.
You don't put any moisturiser on your face?
No, I probably should do,
but my skin's quite greasy anyway.
I've never felt the need to be honest.
It's never really dried out. Never really sort of done anything really.
So why?
Okay. So I find now, because I was thinking to myself the other day, so I use a facial
moisturiser called ultra facial cream. I use it every day. Every time I get out of the
shower. I have two showers a day in the summer or whatever. I use it every time I get out
of the shower. And I'm really, really happy of how it works and how it makes my skin feel.
But I was also thinking the other day when I forgot to put it on,
my skin feels really dry and horrible. And I think this is how they get you.
Oh, right. It's sort of like it overgreases it. It's doing the opposite.
So when you stop using it, you need some more. Well, that's me dialed in for life now.
It's not the fucking PCP on the car. I can never get away from Aldi now. The problem is, the problem is, they never seem to have, I just think they should be bigger,
you should buy at the start of your life a big vat of moisturiser and just go through it. Do you
know what I mean? Like instead of having to buy little bottles. I've gone through different ones that haven't worked.
Right, okay. I've settled on my particular one. I also use this Midnight
Eye Recovery Cream as well.
Mason Harkness Midnight Eye Recovery. I had no idea that you're like a vintage Porsche.
I haven't spent all this money on upkeep and servicing and stuff.
Toby Perkins I do. My wife insists on me staying in the front
driveway with a cover over me every night so the birds don't shit on me.
Mason Harkness I'd love the idea. I bought a little cover for the sofa we got out in
the yard.
Well those plastic ones, they used to have in those movies set in Compton in the 90s.
Yeah.
Remember that?
I think so, no?
So they were basically people in certain neighbourhoods in the US and it would always be featured
in like 90s movies.
Right. They'd have a sette in the street.
No, they haven't been living with it,
but they just put plastic covers over them.
Oh, like an old lady sort of thing to do.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, no, it's-
I've never seen that happen in real life.
I've never seen it on telly.
Yeah, it's a bit of a sort of comedic trope, isn't it?
Like if you grew up in the 80s,
your mother would have-
But I don't see how you could sit on a sofa
with that kind of plastic cover.
It would be horrible, wouldn't it?
Sounds like she's really uncomfortable.
Yeah, it'd be like really sweaty and horrible.
So what cover have you got then?
Like an old lady's kind of knitted one?
Like a ten quid one from Tmoo that is ten times too big.
Is it polyester?
Well, it's just waterproof to kick the water off, but the problem is Sammy loves pooping
on that sofa.
Why is your dog shitting indoors?
I've never had an explanation for this.
He's not shitting indoors, he's sitting outdoors. He's sitting outdoors, the sofa is outdoors.
So I'm giving him...
Oh, it's an outdoor sofa. You didn't say that.
I'm giving him mixed messages, aren't I?
Yeah, you're giving me mixed messages by talking about a sofa and let me assume it's outside.
The dog doesn't poo in the house.
Does he, we?
Well, he's done... In the last year he's maybe done one poo in the house and I, you know,
and I've done three.
Where was it?
I do all my... I do all my po house and I've done three. Where was it?
I do all my poos in the house.
Where was it?
Just on some wood, so it's absolutely fine.
How long did it take you to discover it?
Some parquet flooring.
Instantly it stinks, everything absolutely stinks, my house stinks, everything stinks.
Just my life stinks.
Put that on the list, put that on the list.
I've either got banana or shit on me somewhere. Just something.
And if I don't smell like that, I smell like perfume poo bags.
My life is just... When I was at the football, at the final,
my mate had some weird sort of sandalwood stuff that he rubs on his mustache.
And there's my skincare. I've started spraying mustache,
using mustache aftershave.
And it really chills me out when I'm sort of like-
Moustache aftershave, but you don't moisturise your face?
No.
And I put it in my mustache and it's like,
ah, very relaxing.
So yeah, I heartily recommend buying mustache aftershave.
I don't think it's supposed to be for the mustache.
So that's like basically what those crime scene investigators wear under their nose
to stop and retching when they get to a crime scene.
Yeah, it's like the plague doctors with the flowers and the lavender and the nose.
You know the stories of Elizabeth the First?
Was she a honking mess?
Well, in those, what is it, 16th century, in those times, you know, teeth were a big
problem. People didn't really brush their teeth. And so there's reports that when she
was receiving an audience of dignitaries or diplomats or foreign emissaries or whatever,
regularly she's reporters having basically a match. You could barely speak because her
mouth was stuffed full of clothes.
Just, just absolutely. What a life, just dealing with that all the time.
Imagine if someone did like a properly accurate, you know, period drama of what it was, because
what I thought, so if you look at something like Wolf Hall, which isn't a million miles
from there in terms of period, like everyone's too clean.
There's no, there's no, like that's just, it's all just kind of British propaganda isn't
it really.
It's just kind of like, come to Britain, find out about the Kings and the Queens and all
that regal stuff.
Nobody wants to actually hear that they fucking stank and they all had STDs.
It's soft power.
Yeah.
Pete, I just sent a little link to you in the Laps WhatsApp group.
Oh yes.
Have a look at what you think of that.
Describe what you see.
Describe to the listeners what you're seeing.
It's a two-bedroom London flat above a Chinese takeaway. It's on sale for
over three quarters of a million pounds and it's got its own swimming pool and spa next to the
living area. Basically it's just a normal commonart garden, London sort of high street flat,
very unassuming. It's like every road you've ever driven down
or walked down in London. And above a Chinese takeaway, the Lee Garden, I'm sure it's very
good, the main sort of room, main room, it's got like a little mini sort of spa I suppose.
And it's like half swimming pool, half kind of...
How are they over the swimming pool in there above a Chinese takeaway?
Well, I mean, when I read the title I thought it might be... It just looks like a bed-sit pool half kind of. How are they over the swimming pool in there above a Chinese takeaway? Well
I mean when I read the title I thought it might be, it just looks like a bed sit but
instead of like the main living area it's got a chlorinated pool. The workmanship must
be good no? I just think that it looks too chaotic, it looks like, it kind of looks exactly like the Virgin Atlantic
what do you call it what's the thing is you sort of go to like sweet before you
get on the lounge a Virgin Atlantic lounge at the Havana International Airport and it
looked exactly like that and it can you imagine how chlorinated it would all
smell like there's no way you can get rid of that.
I think it's hard to sell that flat, surely.
You are looking for a very specialist buyer who's very happy to spend all their time
doing upkeep of an inappropriate swimming pool.
Yeah, that is the word, isn't it, inappropriate?
It's kind of like, it looks like it should have a squash caught in there,
but they've just filled it with water.
It's a real mess.
I have no idea why someone has decided to do that. It looks like an old office
sort of property, isn't it?
It's like a reverse version of when wealthy people who can't extend their homes or buy
anywhere big in London because there's no room to have those super basements. Remember
super basements? Like a big talking point about 10, 15 years ago.
Yeah. I guess people sort of want to maximise their situations. The two doors down from those super basements. Remember super basements, like a big talking point about 10, 15 years ago.
Yeah, I guess people sort of want to maximise their situations. Two doors down from us,
they're having their roof sort of converted, loft converted, and they've built this. When
I was like 18, 19, I used to get absolutely tanked up at Oxygen Nightclub, the aforementioned
Oxygen Nightclub in Leicester, and then about two or three o'clock,
we'd get out and then we would just spend the rest
of the night into like five, six in the morning,
just clambering up and down the fire escapes
of Leicester City Center, like all across the high street
and stuff, and I am eyeing up this app,
you know like when they do a loft conversion,
they sort of box it off, they just make a massive
kind of like Reading Festival stage
sort of thing and I am looking at that and it's just, I mean I know like people who put up
scaffolding, scaffolders are commonly known by the rest of the building traders bottom of the food
chain but they do they do do some proper freestyle sort of thoughtful stuff don't they? Like how they
plan these things together it's incredible.
Any remembrance day memorabilia on there?
No I'm waiting for them to put them up to be honest I've not seen anything on their
van. I'm hoping that at one point they're going to put a poppy or a little full on soldier
on the top that I can knock down with a football.
Our playground was Leon Sardin high street, Stubbington village, Gosport that was where
we used to do all that,
some of our best work as I've said to you before.
All right Peter, let's have a break.
When we come back we'll probably discuss yet more nonsense I expect,
have us become the custom over the years.
Ooh.
All right, Switch Bitches, reference to the Roald Dahl book we spoke about last week.
I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Mr. Luke Emuah and we are doing the Luke and Pete show, it's what we do. It's 31st
of March, we're heading into April in the strongest possible way.
Neil Milliken And the clock's gone forward, we're springing
it now.
Pete Larkin We're springing it now. I'm going to spend
so much time getting stuff done after seven o'clock. Baby goes to bed at seven and I can
just get to work fixing things that
need to be fixed around the house. Because once she goes to bed now, A, I'm not going
to be.
I cannot think of anything worse than getting my son down by about quarter past seven and
that almost conscious exhale. Imagine having you pottering around.
Pottering around?
Absolutely woeful stuff.
It's not even that, just sawing. Just doing a lot of sawing.
God.
When you put your daughter down, how long is it before you generally hear from her again?
Usually almost 99% of the time, 7am. And any parent will go,
Pete, you have absolutely lucked out. But yeah, we have, so.
We're similar, we're very fortunate. out, but yeah, we have, so... Yeah. No, no.
We're similar, we're very fortunate, but our kids are getting older now, our kids are similar
ages but they're getting older now and they're getting past that baby phase now, so...
What if they get married?
We would be... what would we be?
Brother-in-laws?
Brother-in-law and laws?
What would we be?
We wouldn't be related.
Would we not?
Not through marriage?
No.
Brothers?
Can you see how sick and dying I am by this idea?
Brother in law! Your pop shell's leaking. Vomit.
I can forgive my son just about anything. But marrying into a Donaldson family, I cannot.
Your daughter was absolutely lovely, but I cannot allow that.
It's going to be great when it happens.
Oh, by the way, by the way, speaking of, you know, fathers and fatherhood and all the rest
of it, have you seen Adolescents?
I've not yet. No, I've seen-
Oh, you've got to watch it.
I know, I know, I know. Yeah, it's-
I can't do it quite late. I watched it over the weekend and it's every bit as good as
everyone says it is. Every bit is good, but I won't
discuss it until you've seen it and then we'll put a little spoiler warning in for our listeners.
Everyone wants to see it by now.
Yeah, I think it's one of the songs where when you know what it's about, that's a heavy,
poor seven o'clock, that's a heavy kind of thing to sort of say, oh well let's do it.
It was a really heavy watch. I avoided it for a while as the father of a son.
Although the concepts are still quite abstract
because my son is so young.
I found it an incredibly difficult,
but impressive and rewarding watch.
It's absolutely magnificent.
I can't really think of any British TV
in recent years that's come close to that.
You should watch it.
Isn't it filmed all in one shot?
Every single episode's all in one take.
Because Stephen Graham did another film
that was filmed all in one shot, no?
He did, Boiling Point, yeah.
He needs to calm down.
It's a difficult job, that.
Fascinating, that is that kind of technique.
So obviously it's basically just like theater.
So the way it kind of works is that say, for example,
some parts of it take place inside a police station.
It kind of does that almost Tarantino West thing
where it follows a character down the corridor
and they'll say hello to another character
and it'll start following that character instead.
So you're not on screen all the time.
Yeah.
If you're an actor, it's not just one scene effectively.
But the way they transition between scenes
is done in one take.
So it's really cleverly done.
And I was reading about how it's made
and they were talking about how essentially
there was just loads of emphasis done on rehearsal
and blocking scenes out and then choreographing stuff. But I'll tell you what
would, here's the thing, the anxiety in me, I know how you feel about this, like they've
not talked about how many times it took them to complete each episode, right? So given
that each episode is basically about an hour, imagine getting through like 50 minutes of
it and then fumbling something and everyone has to start again, everyone, the crew, the cast, everyone and then you've got to maintain that energy because say like you didn't get
through through it the first time, you know, it takes you five or six times but that's
a fucking long day.
Do you not think that it's kind of like with, do you remember like when EastEnders does
a live episode and occasionally a character will call the name of the actor's name?
Yeah, they fumble it and stuff. Are there any fumble
points? Did you notice any fumble points there? A visible boom arm or something?
Nothing. It's perfect. Honestly, whatever you think of it, and I expect you'll enjoy it,
but whatever you think of it, the quality of it is unreal. I mean, even comparing it to that,
I totally get what you mean with that East Enders thing. I remember Max Branning being caught on camera shoving his fingers down
his throat pretending to puke up. And I've actually met Drake Wood. He's a nice fella.
I really wanted to say that to him, but I thought, I can't, he's probably quite hard.
I don't want to do that. But the writing and the acting with respect compared to that in
East Enders is just fucking nothing compared to this. And also the one thing I would also, just in case you're not aware of it, and I'm sure many of our listeners
will be, the boy who plays Jamie Miller, who's the main accused 13-year-old boy, he's never
acted before.
Right.
He's never acted in a single thing before.
And he's thrown into the hardest bit of acting possible.
Well, and not only that, the way they structured the filming of the series, episode three,
I think they made first, and episode three is essentially entirely one scene of this
boy and his psychological assessment, this social worker. And it's a very intense piece
of acting. Like, I, like, Stephen Graham, I saw an interview with him and he was saying,
look, you know, this kid is a generational talent. He's never seen anything like it, he said. I find sometimes
you're watching something that's high brow or good quality, it can be the child actors
and let it down. An example of that would probably be the Harry Potter films where it's
just fucking abysmally bad.
But then you've got something like season four of The Wire where the kids in that are
amazing.
But I suspect they're a bit older maybe playing younger characters.
But this Jamie Miller actor, I can't remember the actor, Owen Cooper maybe I think his name
is.
He's 14 playing a 13 year old and he is just astonishing.
And he's not a talent in that kind of went to Rada posh kind of, you know,
really confident because mommy and daddy have got loads of money time away.
I know he's very, very down to earth.
He's Danny Dyer. Yeah.
That's how he got it.
When he was doing Arthur Miller.
Yeah. But anyway, it's worth watching.
Do watch it because I want to talk to you about it.
No. Are you frightened to watch it because you're a dad
and you're frightened to the consequences?
Because I'm an incel.
I'm a murderous incel.
You don't like the mirror being put up to you, do you?
Really, yeah.
It's absolutely shocking, some of the scenes.
It's really, really, I mean, I hope it's a bit like
the Mr. Bates versus the post office type thing, you know?
Yeah, right.
Where it like really kind of changes,
moves the dial a little bit publicly for everyone
because I think it's really kind of...
Are kids going to want, are the people who need to hear about this stuff really going
to be watching it?
Well I think they're going to start, I think this talk, they're going to start showing
it in schools.
Right, okay, nice.
Oh, imagine doing something that explodes like that and it's instantly a set text, you
know what I mean?
Like we...
Yeah, but some of the stuff we had to watch back in the day, wasn't that good?
Well it was a mixture of religious stuff for me.
My choice, not the schools.
Speaking of that, that link yesterday was like that.
What? The religious stuff.
The primary school brunch.
Oh, yes.
Well, we talk about that in the next show,
because that is a honking bit of work.
But we used to watch like,
we used to watch like, for English we'd watch
like Roma Polanski's Romeo and Juliet and stuff, that was a bit grotty.
But, it was a bit grotty wasn't it?
Is that the one with DiCaprio in it?
No, no, no, that was, that's Basil Oman's Romeo and Juliet. It was like one in the 70s when the now shamed Polanski was at the height of his powers.
But yeah, and then mixed with that, just any old tat that he had on video really, I guess.
Yeah, same. We actually went, we once went into London to watch a production of Blood
Brothers.
It was whatever tickets you could get hold of, weren't it? We travelled all the way. General of the West you reckon?
Yeah it was.
It was whatever flagging West End shore
had 300 tickets to give away.
They'd give them away to a local authority.
So we travelled for like nine, 10 hours on a bus.
People puking, people just feeling like absolute shits.
Like I'd be like three in the morning.
Just so we could watch Chesney Hawks in the,
God what was he in? It was... I am the one and only I think he was part of the film...
sorry part of the theatre production for... I can't remember what it was... it was some NAF
West End show that he was in basically and that sort of launched his career
but yeah the Buddy Holly story wasn't it launched his career. But yeah the Buddy Holly
story wasn't it? I think it was the Buddy Holly story.
Oh sounds about right yeah.
And Buddy and yeah we watched that and I don't know anything about it.
I just googled it but I get his pantomimes he's in.
And I saw Dennis Pennis and I was like wow this is London and then got on the bus and
then went home.
Oh you saw Dennis Pennis in character?
Saw Dennis Pennis dressed as a Chelsea pensioner running around doing filming a bit and then
I saw it like yeah Paul K and that was like, wow.
That's right up there.
Like when I saw all the candidates on a season of The Apprentice like 10 years
ago, doing something and they're like, yeah.
Hawking Perfume and Hammersmith Broadway Shopping Centre.
Lovely. I love it when you sort of see it's like, it's like visiting a set,
even though it's not a set, it's just a lot of people from the TV show. Please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me. Please don't talk to me.
I don't want to be involved. Someone was saying that I live in Tampa in Florida isn't it? Tampa
Florida? Or am I thinking of Miami? No, Tampa's in Florida. Yeah, I couldn't remember whether the
story was Miami or Tampa but I think it is Tampa, Florida. And this guy's going, like, whenever I have mates visit me, they
are shocked and very excited that the ex wrestler Ric Flair is at the bar drinking and chatting
to women much younger than him. And they are so shocked and they want selfies and they want pictures
and he's like, he's in there every day. He's an alcoholic. He's a bit of a problem. And so he's
like, I have seen him three times this week in the same bar, in the same chair, just being reflect.
That would be mad if you, it's like that story, I remember I told you about a story about someone who went on a stag weekend,
or just a stag night or something,
and it was in like a, quite a rural town,
with it just outside of Wolverhampton.
And they went like a bit of a pub crawl,
and they got to a pub,
and then this mate of mine who was like,
he's not from there, he was like,
he traveled there for his friend's thing.
And so they got outside one of the pubs, and there's a sign, like a handwritten sign on the door saying, this is Robert Plant's
local please do not bother him. And they went in there and he was just there doing a crossword
having a beer and no one was talking to him at the bar. It would be mad to have someone
that famous in your local pub every day.
That's definitely one of the worst things about being famous I suppose, just constantly.
Especially in the age of the camera phone and stuff. People don't want to say hello,
they just want fucking pictures, don't they, I suppose?
That's probably why people flock to places like Bellsides Park or Hampstead because there's
so many things people just don't get bothered.
Do you get bothered in Leoncy?
Oh, constantly. Absolutely constantly.
Authorities?
Can we have a word, sir? Right, we, I've got to get out of here because it's the end of the
Looking Pete Show, we went on a bit didn't it, sorry, sorry everyone, we'll get to your
emails next week, your battery brands, stuff like that, hellolookingpeachshow.com is the
way to get in touch, we'll talk about the school brunch, we'll talk about a recent
internet pile-on that I have been the victim of and all kinds of others.
I've not signed off on any of this but I'm looking forward to it.
We'll be back on Thursday. Bye. The Luke and Pete Show is a stack production and part of the A-Cast Creator Network.
