hungry for some more it's the luke and pete shaw pete dollison and luke mill with you um luke
you're fresh from uh doing a ramble react with andy brussell and you just announced before
um the start of the luke and pete show that you're ready to get torn into me because you are famished
so last night i did a Ramble Reacts with Andy
after the Crystal Palace Chelsea game in the Premier League.
I outed Andy as my secret lover.
I called him a two-bit Sean Derry lookalike.
And I tried my very, very best to make it as difficult a recording as possible for him.
Because to be perfectly honest, he knows too much about football.
I need to challenge him in some way.
Because if I just fire facts at him or ask him opinion on football matters he's not
going to find it tough no and as we all know by now peter broadcasting should be a challenge yeah
it's and you make it sound like a challenge every day if you don't mind me saying i do that's kind
of my um stock and trade really one would suggest but i would say that with andy um there's not i don't think there's
many things you can throw at andy and him find himself unruffled i mean sorry ruffled i don't
think you could ever ruffle uh andy i think you could sort of ask him anything about politics
about the world and he would find some way to get an answer out without sounding like an absolute
idiot even if he had no grounding in it.
He's like me, but without the idiot bit.
Well, you remember stuff at least.
At least you remember stuff.
I mean, like your brain is absolutely perfect for remembering facts, phrases and bits and bobs.
I think in comparison to you, that's possibly the case.
That is true, yeah.
But I think in the wider world, it's probably quite average.
I did it again on the show this this morning i did a resume record yesterday i did a broad japan record at
admittedly 6 30 in the morning for me which is which is which is early but for any podcaster
um to say you've got to get that out of the show is early given that we've gone into podcasting
to not have a proper job yeah i mean 6, the chickens have come home to roost there
because you actually end up earlier than you would be in a proper job.
Exactly.
So at one point during resume, I just stopped, reset,
and I said, what was I going to say again?
And I think we always knew this is where I was going to end up.
But usually I would have the confidence to just launch into a sentence,
not really using the correct words or terminology,
moving backwards in the sentence,
moving forwards in the sentence,
trying to find my way out of an anecdote
or a phrase.
And yeah, this time around,
I just stopped.
I said, what was I going to say again?
And then did the exact same thing
I was going to do anyway,
launched into a sentence.
But it just took me a bit more time and this is where it begins for me
this is this is me getting even worse at 42 my brain is my brain is definitely slowing down
i mix up names a lot more than i used to i i've never bothered learning them in the first place
if i meet you for the first time if i meet you for the second time if i meet you for the third
time if you've not said your name three times
in that hour that I've spent with you,
I'm not remembering it.
I'm never remembering it.
Do you know what I like to do?
I like to, this is high risk
and you'll cringe at this.
I like to, when I get introduced to say,
a group of say three or four people,
and I say, I'm Luke, nice to meet you,
nice to meet you, nice to meet you.
In my mind, I'm really trying hard
consciously to remember their name. Right. And then what i like to do maybe 15 20 minutes later and dress them in your mind oh right
okay what did you say and dress them in your mind no i like to use their name right it's such a
high-risk strategy i find it exhilarating yeah i mean that is and but you can tell because i've
like interviewed classy people usually from like holly, who will know, who will get told your name and they will repeat your name back at you.
Wolverine does it quite a lot.
What's his name?
Wolverine, man.
Can't remember his name.
What's his name?
Aussie.
Hugh Jackman.
Hugh Jackman.
He will repeat your name back at you every sentence.
You've heard the story about people being good with names
and you can't even remember his name in an anecdote.
And he's not on his dot-do-see-it-do.
He's from Australia.
All right.
He's from Australia.
But he will use your name quite a lot.
And it's a classy move.
But after he's done it the fifth or sixth time,
you are a bit like, all right, mate.
All right, mate. You're all right, George Bush. But you know why he's doing that? He's doing that to – he's actually it the fifth or sixth time, you are a bit like, all right, mate. All right, mate.
You're all right, George Bush.
But you know why he's doing that?
He's doing that to, he's actually doing that for two reasons.
One, to make you feel special, of course.
And I've seen Harry Redknapp do that.
Ex-football manager Harry Redknapp does that to journalists all the time.
That's why they love him.
Is that why he's loved by them?
What he's also doing there is he's reinforcing in his own mind
the memory of your name.
Yes, okay.
So he keeps saying it, which means he's much more his own mind the memory of your name. Yes, okay. So he keeps saying it,
which means he's much more likely to remember it.
So later on in the interview or the event or whatever,
he's far less likely to forget it,
which means he's less likely to be in a socially awkward position.
I think something you could probably learn from people
is you could start using people's names more.
Hugh, feel free to forget my name.
You're never going to use it.
No.
Have you seen him since?
No.
Waste of time for him then, isn't it?
Waste of time.
I did about, yeah, I've done about two or three interviews with him.
Told the same stories.
Did he remember you or not?
No, of course he didn't.
Why would you?
Why would you?
The only person who's ever remembered me after our fourth interview is Billy Corgan.
Oh, because of wrestling?
Hey, Pete. No, maybe. me after our fourth interview is billy corgan oh because of wrestling hey pete no uh maybe yeah
maybe just because i you know i had more than a surface level bit of knowledge of the smashing
pumpkins i suppose but what are you when i was um you know so i was driving young finn he's one of
our producers young finn rapper to the rapper young finn y-u-N-G. He's a SoundCloud rapper, Mumble rapper.
He's a bit like Post Malone, but he's from Sheffield.
I drove him
to Old Trafford
because we were going up there for a thing.
And in the car on the way back
we were stuck in traffic for ages. So I said, look, Finn,
I'm going to put some music on, man. I'm driving
so I just want to listen to the music. He's like, yeah, fine.
So I just put it on shuffle, thinking
that's a compromise. I'm not going to make him this sort of obscure album he's never
heard of um so i put it on shuffle smashing pumpkins song came on right he'd never heard
of the band he'd never heard of them that's interesting because like i heard of them on
like the simpsons before i heard the band if that makes sense yeah but you're old i mean
yeah yeah yeah but like that's your gateway into when they were still around yeah yeah but i said i said to him um i said that's
really interesting you've never even heard of them because they were massive and they have quite a
notable name as well yeah it's like blind melon or something in it either there's no way to have
heard of them no i mean they are they've also got a fruit no I mean they are it's just a stupid name
for quite a
thoughtful band
I suppose
but the plot thickened
even further
because
I said to him
oh right
have you heard of Nirvana then
he was like
yeah of course I've heard of Nirvana
I've listened to Nirvana
yeah of course
and I was like
it's a bit weird
that you would know Nirvana
so well
but not know
Smashing Pumpkins
who were basically
probably not quite as big
but definitely were
contemporaries of Nirvana
and they're part of the story as well.
Obviously, Billy Corgan, I mean, never bring up...
It's a big rivalry, right?
Never bring up Kurt Cobain's name in front of Billy Corgan,
which I actually did, which upset him.
He was obviously a bit of a...
Was he a bit of a love rival with Love?
Yeah, he says that there was such a big rivalry between them
that even now, if he's back in the ends
and he bumps into someone who was part of Nirvana's road team
or whatever, he said that they still don't like him.
Right, okay, yeah, yeah.
But I mean, what I'm trying to get at is
this is not like obscure band.
No.
They saw 30 million records.
Yeah.
It's almost a bit like I wasn't born until 1980,
but I know who fucking Smashing Pumpkin
I'm sorry
the brother stones are
do you know what I mean
the Smashing Stones
yeah
Smashing Stones
little super group
little super group
it's
yeah
it's weird isn't it
I would very much like
to hear producer Finn
he's got a very lovely
whenever I can use
Finn for a voiceover
I will do
because he's got a lovely
deep
brogue
to his voice
and mixed in with quite a nasally Finn for a voiceover, I will do, because he's got a lovely deep brogue to his voice, and
mixed in with quite a
nasally Billy
Corgan vocal line. I'd
love to hear that. I'd love to hear Finn
singing a bit of karaoke,
singing, I don't know,
something from Zero or something.
Yeah, that would be good. It'd be like
Fred Dibner,
front-end.
Front-end.
Do you remember Fred Dibner. Front in. Front in a Dibner band.
Do you remember Fred Dibner?
I do remember Fred Dibner.
We talk about Fred Dibner quite a lot, though.
More than he probably deserves.
Yeah.
There is an amazing video of him climbing up that big stack and knocking it all down by hand.
And it is, I mean, it's like, it's incredible to watch.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, first of all,
I don't fully believe there's any real need to do it that way.
I don't think, when you look at chimneys,
and like chimneys were everywhere back in the day.
What was the biggest chimney in your town?
Ours was at the hospital where you could burn bandages.
Yeah, same, yeah.
It always looked like a big cigarette.
Yeah.
I mean, there was a massive,
it's a four-league power station
was on the horizon
to the west of where we lived.
But that's all been pulled down now.
Yeah.
It just seems that,
like when you're up there
building a big chimney,
you're like,
this seems structurally not good.
It's too long.
Why isn't this falling over?
Et cetera.
I think that's probably,
I think they probably thought about that.
Yeah.
They probably engineered it like that,
didn't they?
They probably know what they're doing.
What I'm fascinated by is the art,
and it is an art,
of demolishing buildings in a way that they don't fall over and hurt anyone.
Yeah.
The imploding and the kind of,
yeah.
So you have to put the charges in certain spots,
right?
So it collapses in on itself. And when you do that in like a really built up environment where the stakes are high
that must be quite exciting yeah but i mean the that at that pay level they usually get it right
but then there's the uh watching um inner city tree fellers felling wow that sounds great is
that a tv show no it should be but that i mean that is got its own risks but just watching
just some random dudes with a chainsaw just taking down a big tree right next to a shed it's just
yeah that's just as thrilling as that really i told you about the guy who um did my the tree
in my back garden the um i was careful our pants leg off yeah he didn't have his careful our
trousers on he went and helped his mate out for it with a job and he slipped and he was chopped
his leg off and it looked like a fucking shark bite.
It was an incredible scar
to be fair to him. We were talking about Chainsaw
Charlie on WrestleMania yesterday.
Terry Funk's... Who's Chainsaw Charlie? Terry Funk's
I think character he had for about
three months. He joined the WWE even though he
had the name Terry Funk and everyone knew him as Terry Funk
he decided one day, he just panicked
and went, I'm Chainsaw Charlie now
and just brought a chainsaw
well it's like a massive rip-off of like texas chainsaw i think so yeah he had like a lady
stocking on his head latex latex stocking on it on his head later yeah let's start on his head and
uh some like white powder on his head and and a chainsaw um it just seems like sometimes people
panic and and that's what happens.
I don't see how,
I'm not sure how she's going to get to that level in an organisation, though.
I mean, you need to have planned this.
It's not Pete Donaldson doing his homework.
You need to have planned this more than the night before.
Yeah, yeah, frequently.
Start rummaging around the spare drawer in your house
for some props.
Well, I mean, a lot of changes were afoot
at the WWE over the past couple of weeks.
So there were some last-minute changes to the Royal Rumble,
let's say, and we shouldn't say no more of that.
And is it possible to have a chainsaw as a prop
that actually works and rotates,
but it's not got any blades on it,
so you could do almost like a fake chainsaw?
I think you just take the teeth off.
You do take the chain aspect off, I think. It still still makes the noise and if you're waving it around no one really
knows but yeah i don't think you can i don't think you safely wave a chainsaw around there's
something quite terrifying about a chainsaw it's it's just anything with i think anything with a
combustion engine in like a generator i find quite what if it explodes like they never explored but
it looks like it might explode I think my fear
comes from when I
was a kid and I
went to a kind of
circus type thing
and one of the
acts was a juggling
act and the guy
started out juggling
like a few juggling
balls or whatever
then he moved up
to like five or
six juggling balls
which is fucking
amazing
yeah
and if you've ever
tried to juggle
anything
three juggling
balls it's hard
yeah
I can juggle with
three
I can do a little
party trip
yeah I can do like how am I the do a little party trip yeah I can do like
I can do three of different
how am I the out of work
magician then
come on
I know
that's just what you dress like
but
you know me
I don't like to shout about things
I like to keep my light
under a bushel mate
but if for example
I can juggle like
different
three things of different weights
so I could do like
I don't know
a book
an orange
and a ping pong ball
or something
how
right hang on
I do anything.
You like do it for the social.
Why are you not doing this right now for the social?
It's never come up.
Well, it's coming up now.
Go and get a book.
Go and do some juggling for the boys.
Okay.
I'll do it now.
Right.
All right.
So here's a hand sanitizer.
Right.
Still living in 2020.
A head.
I actually bought this like the other day.
Did you? Brilliant.
Headphone case.
Right, yeah.
Headphone case.
And then what else would be good?
I'll leave you one more thing, mate.
I'm not going to do my mobile phone
because it'll end in tears.
Okay, I'll try, I'll try this coaster.
This priceless Fabergé egg.
This Princess Eugenie floodlight blended coaster.
And they're the only ones who got a coaster?
Outrageous.
No, they did the coasters.
Oh, right.
They were into it, man.
They did the coasters.
Actually, I'm not going to do the coaster
because it's going to make too much of a noise.
Hang on a second.
I'm never to be drunk.
Luke is stalking his living room
trying to find something to juggle.
Can you actually see or is the camera shot not good enough?
I can see.
Maybe step back a little bit, maybe.
Okay, hang on.
Pop yourself back in the frame.
All right.
Hang on.
I can't go too far back
because otherwise my headphones will come out.
Okay.
Ready?
Can you do it with headphones if you've got...
Okay, take the headphones out.
Take the headphones out.
All right.
And I will narrate,
commentate as to how this juggling is going on.
Here we go.
Right, he's starting to juggle.
He's instantly dropped the hand sanitiser.
He's having another go with three.
I mean, it is atrocious.
I mean, even, I mean, big talk from excellent.
Oh, didn't you do well?
Didn't you do well?
Didn't you do well?
What a brilliant, what a brilliant bit of juggling.
You could have said it was amazing.
I think what I need is I need more space.
You need more space, right, okay.
I need kind of probably similarly weighted items
that aren't quite as distinctively different.
But the point is...
Do you need some music?
Shall I play some Evanescence?
Yeah, play Bring Me to Life.
Yes.
Anyway, look, the point i was actually
going to make was um is that when i was a kid the circus performer did this stuff
and then um he started bringing in different items so like at one point he was juggling
with a stool like a three-legged stool yes okay and then he started bringing in an apple he was
taking a bite of the apple nice yeah cool when he was juggling and then he started bringing in an apple. He was taking a bite of the apple. Nice, yeah, cool.
When he was juggling.
And then he brought in three chainsaws that he started,
and he was juggling them by the handles,
and it was fucking absolutely terrifying.
Again, though, maybe the chains just weren't on the actual chainsaw itself.
That's how I would do it.
Yeah, but you could kind of see the thing moving, like rotating.
Okay, interesting. I don't think you should take anything away from it. It was a very informative the thing moving, like rotating. Okay, interesting.
I don't think you should take anything away from it.
It was a very informative experience for me,
and it was also very impressive, but I think it was probably dangerous.
Yeah, it's what got you into the whole juggling world yourself, I suppose.
Fascinating.
Well, I used to go juggling, and that kind of stuff.
It was like an evening.
A friend of mine's dad had like a little circus performing workshop.
How are we only hearing about this?
And how are you going to get away with me
not mentioning it
every show that we're on together
until the end of time?
You went to clown school.
You went to clown school.
It's clown school.
You just go along
and you watch the guys do stuff
and then they would
let you have a go
at it if you wanted
is this how that
you know those
dancing kids
you know the kids
who dance
oh you mean
like the little
kind of what they
called like the
beauty pageant kids
no yeah like no
the ones that were
on like Britain's
Got Talent
those guys
oh diversity
diversity
in my head
I can only think
of the word evanescence now you know
evanescence the dancing kids um is that how they got started presumably they went to a club
and they just started dancing and never stopped i think that's probably that's probably a bit
cooler that's probably like a kind of like a proper like organized outreach program or workshop
or something whereas this was just a bit like there was all these older fellas who juggling around yeah because there's like quite there was quite a kind of looking back
on it there was like a bit of a subculture where i grew up of like traveling folk around right and
so they would pitch up and then they'd be doing stuff so they'd be doing like um you know they
wouldn't just be doing juggling they'd be doing like fire breathing and like you know the diablo
thing with the two sticks yes Yes, okay, yeah.
They'd do that.
Getting very close to fire poi.
Yeah, it would be that kind of thing,
but I don't think there was a fire poi specifically.
Listen, I'm not saying I spent my time as an enthusiast of these things.
I just thought we should go along.
Have you ever gone to the doctor,
and you've been talking about being a bit down?
And he says, but doctor, I am Luke Moore.
Go and see the great Luke Moore, the juggler,
that will cheer you up.
Like Pagliacci.
Pagliacci.
And I said, but doctor, I am the great Luke Moore.
I am the great juggler Luke Moore.
Well, this is adorable.
And if you've ever been to clown school,
it sounds like you went to clown school I haven't been to clown school
it sounds like you went to clown school
and to be honest
I think
if you grew your hair out a bit
clown hair
quite a long time
I think you could
I think you could probably get away with
dying it red
and having some lovely clown hair
do clowns have red hair?
big red nose
big red nose
green?
blue?
I don't really know what's good
you did a magic trick in the studio yesterday.
That's true.
It sounds like me and you could go on the road and just, you know,
not like maybe people who listen to the Little Peach Show might be expecting
like a live version of this podcast.
But in many ways, it would just be juggling and magic tricks.
Fuck it.
I'm not sure how long I've been.
I wouldn't be able to elongate the performance long enough.
fuck it I couldn't
I mean I'm not sure
how long I'd be able
I wouldn't be able
to elongate the performance
long enough
by the way
speaking of that
did I tell you
on that aforementioned
trip to Old Trafford
I was in the hospitality
right
got invited there
by a company
were you going
table to table
juggling
no well
this is the thing
were you going
table to table juggling
listen
right
we were having
dinner before the game.
Let me guess, tedious card position?
Yeah, but he was fucking amazing.
And I forgot to mention it yesterday
when Marcus was talking about it
and the sponge willy, right?
Honestly, mate.
Anything to distract you from the raw chicken,
I imagine, at that point.
But is it not...
Have you ever witnessed that close-up magic
and how good it is?
Yeah, it's incredible. But you're still just, is it not, have you ever witnessed that close-up magic and how good it is? Yeah, it's incredible.
But you're still just being lied to,
aren't you, really?
You're still just being lied to.
Do you not like it
because it shifts your quite
shakily held worldview
on its axis?
It does, yeah, yeah.
I don't like it
because I have ideas
about how the world's supposed to work
and how it does work
and when I see that,
I'm like,
I just, I don't even know.
You must be like the leader of the world if you can harness such sorcery. to work and how it does work and when i see that i'm like i just i just i don't even know you you
must be like the leader of the world if you can harness such sorcery you're usually dressed like
a magician exactly so but anyway the one thing this guy did which was genuinely impressive because
the other stuff was like it was like card tricks and fine like i used to people around me like my
family used to do like little card tricks and stuff so i kind of i get all that it's all
distraction and then counting that kind of thing there's one thing this guy did which is fucking amazing like genuinely amazing is he gave
me a deck of cards and he was never more than like a foot away from me he gave me a deck of cards
told me to put it in between my hands like that right so i had like the deck of cards in between
my hands like that right hold he said hold them tight as you can so i did he put a handkerchief over the top of my um hands so it's covered and then um he's like he
started doing all this kind of stuff and i thought he's gonna because he first asked me to choose a
card right and sign my name on it and i thought oh he's just gonna move that car to the top somehow
he's probably already done it by a distracting technique or whatever yeah and that was the
thoughts i was having at the time.
He said, like,
he counted to three.
He whipped the handkerchief off
and told me to bring my hands away.
And there was a fucking clear
perspex box in my hands.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
And the card
that I had signed
was in the guy opposite
me's top pocket.
Interesting.
So how did that work then?
Well, I don't fucking know, know mate that's what i'm saying
um oh interesting um hang on so you must have changed it around really quickly without anyone
noticing but there's about five people around the table interesting uh i think because because my mate Dave when we go for a drink
he will
if he feels
like it
or we're on like a
holiday or whatever
he'll sort of go
table to table
on a night out
with some cards
which is dreadful
just nobody needs it
is he actually doing that
yeah he's doing that
and is he good at it
no he's terrible
on more than one occasion
he's just got the cards out
and dropped them on the floor
why does he do it then I don't know can he actually do a trick or two or not I think he can do a trick than one occasion he's just got the cards out and dropped them on the floor why does he do it then
can he actually do a trick
or two or not
I think he can do a trick
or two
but it's all very
it's all pretty standard stuff
like proper like
so he takes a deck of cards
on holiday with him
yep
absolutely bizarre
how do you feel about that
as you can imagine
I am mortified
by my own shadow
and so I
yeah I'm absolutely
you know what annoys me
about that
you choose to spend
more social time with him than you do with me and that just tells me everything I need absolutely you know what annoys me about that you choose to spend more social time with him
than you do with me
and that just tells me
everything I need to know
about what you think
about me in real life
yeah we live in Portsmouth
I only like people
who've chosen
oh that's even worse
it's a fucking kick in the teeth
that's a slap in the face
I like people
who choose to live down there
rather than come from there
yeah that is a slap in the face
you've got
you've got
you've got a mate
who from Psmouth who
is demonstrably a worse bloke than me but you choose to hang out with him for me well look
if like he's he's a man of simple pleasures i once um saw on his laptop that he'd typed in
the word blowjob into google and that was his and i'm like if you are typing that into Google, you're not an advanced computer user for me.
That's quite easy.
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
He's happy with that.
Into Google, presumably image search or something.
He just typed it in.
He's happy with seeing what he's seeing.
Safe search on.
Safe search on.
I only want to see what Google will allow me to see.
But yeah, I was pretty blown away by that discovery, to be honest.
Oh, God.
Yeah, and yet you still choose to be friends with him more than me.
Well, I see you a lot.
I don't see him at all.
He's in the Navy.
By the way, the listeners have asked for this.
I need to come to your place and do a recorded episode from your car.
All right, yeah.
You've got to do it.
So just after the show, Rory, we've got to organise it so just after the show with Rory we've got to organise it
well let's wait until
it's not on my
father-in-law's
front
no let's do it then
no because
I can definitely do it then
no because
it'll create a Ferrari
that he doesn't need
I feel bad enough
going round there
and
installing new
windscreen wipers
to be quite frank
but and he is frank let's work it out we've got to do it because the listeners going around there and installing new windscreen wipers to be quite frank but
let's work it out
we've got to do it because the listeners are calling for it mate
I'll put a
I'm going to store it in a garage from the car from me
so that'll be a bit easier
how long will that be in there for?
oh I think it's going to be another
couple of months before it's road legal unfortunately
because the DVLA move at a
rather slow space.
Space? Pace.
Let's have a break, Peter.
When we come back, we've got some batteries to do
because it's Thursday.
We've got some really pretty ones as well.
Oh, good. We'll look forward to that then.

Rogers.
We're back with the Luke and Pete show.
If you've found some batteries in an old remote control, we want to hear from you.
We want to hear pictures.
We want to see pictures, rather.
And we want to hear what brand they are.
Hi, guys.
This is Mitchell.
Optimistic on this one.
See photo attached.
I bring to the table a pink thong.
Pink thong.
Within my one-year-old baby's baby shark book.
Pink thong, apparently, the baby shark creators.
So, like, baby shark seemed to be...
I thought that was like a weird kind of um
i think indian kind of song at the start wasn't it like all made out there i got the sense that
like there's that one where there's the boy eats too much sugar no it's um it's it's no it's from
so this is the thing i think you've missed the point here which is rare for you given you're
kind of south k Korean enthusiast.
South Korean, right.
Yeah, it's South Korean.
And the company or collective,
whoever they are,
that made Baby Shark were called Pinkfong.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's basically what I'm interested in.
But I was just wondering
whether they were the same people
who did Hello Johnny.
You know the boy who eats too much sugar
and he goes,
Hello Johnny,
Hello Johnny.
I don't know.
Anyway.
Okay, so I think it's...
I'm just looking at it now.
Apparently, it's based on a German song that was around first,
but Pinkfong popularized Baby Shark.
So Pinkfong...
So first of all, you've got to decide, Peter,
whether you accept Pinkfong as a battery brand.
Yeah.
If so, it's a new play.
If not, it gets chucked straight out the window.
It depends on if Pinkfong are willing to sort of continue
this little journey
this little adventure
I mean usually
I mean Baby Shark
seemed to me
to be a little bit
of a cash grab
they happened upon
a tune that everyone
found excruciating
but very addictive
my niece was obsessed
with it man
yeah
well I saw it
I've been watching
a lot of the Wiggles
really
and
for my own reasons.
And Baby Shark turns up on that as well, like a proper licensed Baby Shark, which is incredible.
Guess how many views the Baby Shark song, the official Baby Shark song has got on YouTube?
50 million.
You're going to have to go a little bit higher than that, I'm afraid.
Oh, 75 million.
14 billion. billion streams man
I don't know how much money you get for that
imagine how gutted you'd be to find out YouTube had demonetised it
yeah yeah
there was an errant sell
oh sorry someone's got a copyright claim
some fucking guy in a bedroom's got a copyright claim
so I've missed out on 14 billion pounds worth
with WrestleMania with with WWE,
WWE, as part of their training camp,
they obviously show a lot of the wrestlers
classic videos from yesteryear.
And they've actually started,
and they accidentally uploaded
to their licensing database
these same videos that they show on the wrestlers.
And so a lot of the footage from World of Sport and ITV
and joint promotions and stuff in the UK
that they don't actually own the license to,
but YouTube think they do.
So every time we do a British wrestler,
WWE say,
yo, you can't use this,
even though they don't actually technically have the license.
They just accidentally did this thing.
YouTube just, nah, nah,
not listening.
You're just making you take stuff down
that they don't actually...
That's frustrating, isn't it?
That's very frustrating.
There's an interesting diversion from you, Peter, but you are going to have to
make a decision on Pinkfong, I'm afraid.
I think that Pinkfong are at the start of
their battery journey, and I think it's only
right that we encourage these near-stunt young things are at the start of their battery journey. And I think it's only right that we encourage these nascent young things,
these young Turks of the battery world.
Otherwise, we'll have nothing to talk about.
So it's a new player.
I think it's a new player.
Well done, yeah.
Congratulations to Pinkfong.
Thank you, Pinkfong.
Congratulations to our friend Mitchell.
Thank you, Mitchell.
All right, Keith Campbell.
Hello, Pete.
Quite the opposite end from my Fart Machine 2 battery submission a couple of months ago.
I've got the Fart Machine 2.
Let's have a look.
Where is it now?
I've got the remote control for it anyway.
The Fart Machine 2 I bought because the dogs were sort of barking in the house.
And I positioned the Fart Machine in the kitchen.
So when they started going at it, shouting and stuff, barking as they do,
I would fire off the fart machine
but the actual
What and it would
shut them up?
It would shut them up
because they'd be like
what the fuck just happened?
They'd be like
what?
What was that?
Very nice
You won't find that
in any kind of
dog parenting textbook
will you?
No
use a fart machine
but no it's
yeah
I thought there was a fart machine sequel.
Yeah,
it's got a longer range.
Apparently,
it can go for nearly a mile.
You can fire it up.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Anyway,
anyway,
a couple of months ago,
Keith got involved
with this fart machine.
Anyway,
today's entry comes from
a battery operated toothbrush.
I don't think I've heard the name
Kaliki.
Kaliki
in the battery daddy yet. And I've been listening since heard the name Kaliki. Kaliki in the Battery Daddy yet
and I've been listening since
this was a summer project.
Keith Campbell,
Kaliki,
K-E-L-I-Q-A,
no mercury added,
but will it be
an entry added to the database
in the Battery Daddy?
This is K-E-L-I-Q-I, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
It's a brand new player.
Lovely.
Well done.
And I think,
very kind of carelessly
and perhaps quite optimistically, Keith Campbell has put his mobile phone number in the ring now. Lovely. Well done. And I think very kind of carelessly and perhaps quite optimistically,
Keith Campbell has put his mobile phone number in your email.
Give him a ring.
I'm not sure why.
Say thank you.
But I won't be doing that
because it'll be an international call.
So don't worry, Keith.
You're safe for now.
But don't be handing your digits out like that.
My goodness me.
My email address is on my email signature.
Yeah.
It might even be on my Twitter.
My goodness me, am I inundated with crap.
What, your email?
Yeah.
Is it on my Twitter?
I'm just going to check.
It might be on my Twitter, and that's why.
If so, I need to change that.
I get emails from people wanting to make TikTok and YouTube videos out of our podcasts.
I get three an hour these days.
I don't know what has happened.
Mine isn't on my Twitter.
I don't know how I keep getting...
I keep getting emails
from people pretending
to be my friend
telling me they've got
some kind of marketing
solution for me.
Yeah.
What's that noise?
That was me pretending
that I had something
to do with it.
I didn't do a very good job.
I was just going,
dickhead.
Anyway.
Oh, I see, right.
Sounded like someone
was doing some sandpapering.
Very impressed with Jordan's
choice of implement
that he's pulled these batteries out of us, to be said.
Hello from sunny Melbourne, Australia.
After my last entry, Cos Alkaline was a new player.
I was excited to share the news of my award
with my significant other.
After explaining the importance of documenting
and cataloguing the world's less notable battery brands,
my partner looked at me like I was a child
who was explaining which is their favourite locomotive.
If this battery is a new player,
I'll be keeping it to myself.
This battery is the
Nanoran Super Alkaline. Found in the kit for my
new 3-axis gyro-stabilised
laser level 3-axis.
I better use that. Donaldson, that's a better you, isn't it?
I was genuinely considering
buying a
buying a gyro laser
level, but only for 1-axis
though, or 2-axis. I mean, shout out to Jordan buying a gyro laser level but only for one axis though or two axis.
Two axis.
Yeah, I mean,
shout out to Jordan
because he's basically included
the picture of how
the three level,
three axis level works.
It looks fucking amazing.
It looks really futuristic.
Like you just bash it in
and it's just,
it just gives you
a lovely flat line.
So there was,
when I had my ceiling
re-leveled in the hallway,
the guys who did that had a level which they basically put on the floor
and it was a bit like in a sci-fi movie.
Have you seen Prometheus?
Yes,
probably, yes. In Prometheus,
when they're trying to chart the cave system
they're going into, they throw these balls up in the air
which flow and they take
the topography. It was like
a really unimpressive version
of that but it was still very impressive what um what makes me laugh is like the iphone could
probably do that no except the iphone could do like 500 things that no one ever knows about like
there's a guy on um on twitter and i'm going to tell you what his name is because i've actually
saved a bookmark one of his threads recently um and he um essentially shows you all the things
that i've it's called marius hawken his name is and his twitter is m hawken h-a-u-k-e-n sounds
like he's from finland or something marius probably it's definitely scandinavian and um he
does threads every week or so about all the things your iphone can do that you don't know about and
some of it is mind-blowingly good.
Yeah, yeah.
Some of it is simple.
Like the other day, I found out that the iPhone is perfectly capable of giving you a consistent,
never-ending white noise sound if you want it through the speaker.
Yeah, but could you not just go on YouTube and just get a white noise?
You can, mate, but you don't need to because you can just press a button on the iPhone
and it does it for you.
What? It's on, what do you mean? you can just press a button on the iPhone and it does it for you. What?
It's on,
what do you mean?
It's like on a,
in the actual iOS.
When you pull down
from the top right.
Right.
It's on your menu.
I'm Android.
I'm outside of the ecosystem,
I'm afraid.
We're not even fucking,
listen then.
Oh, so it's on there now,
right, okay.
I wonder what mine can do.
It's amazing.
You can do,
you can do all sorts of stuff.
So anyway,
um,
I'm going to scan a QR code. Nanorand Super Alkali. While you're doing that, I'm just going to check in Nanorand Super Alkali, which is Jordan's amazing. You can do all sorts of stuff. And so anyway, Nanoran Super Alkali.
While you're doing that,
I'm just going to check in
Nanoran Super Alkali,
which is Jordan's submission.
And they are indeed
a new player as well.
So we're three out of three today.
Well, there you go.
Very versatile set of...
We thought this was dead and buried,
but it's come back
like a phoenix,
a very level phoenix
in a bathroom,
levelling everything up um so thank you very
much to everyone who got in touch with their battery brands hello at lucanpcho.com uh we are
always yeah famished we are always ravenous for more batteries send us emails tweets insta dms
whatever about all the things that the iphone can do that you've discovered that no one else knows
about threatening uh threatening a loved one? It can do that, yeah.
With your help.
With my help.
With a bystander's help.
All right then.
We'll be back.
