Hello, it's the Luke and Pete show. How you doing? It's the 7th of March. I'm Pete Donaldson, I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moe. Lukey Moe, how are you? I'm pretty good, thank you very much indeed for asking, Peter. How's things with you? What's new? Not much really. Big spot on your head? how's things with you what's new not much really it's very rainy here got a big spot on my head

I spent most of my 20s like with big old they weren't just spots they were big lumps that would dry out go red

and I would flirt with an astonishing amount of foundation concealer sticks were very much my bag which tied in quite nicely with the fact that

I also enjoyed shoplifting from Superdrug so it's it's tied in quite nicely with the fact that I also enjoyed shoplifting from Superdrug. So it's tied in quite nicely, really. It's a self-licking lollipop at the end of the day, isn't it? It really is. It's a little sort of cottage industry I've got going.

Listen, I'll tell you what, Superdrug near me, I visit that a huge amount of times, so I can't be besmirching the good reputation of Superdrug by association here. Well, I get my vitamin D effervescent disposable tablets in there. Right, okay.

Recommended by the NHS to take every day between October and March. Who told you this? I've not been told about this. Get your upper 40s health check, mate. Yeah, but they were busy looking at me bits. I was going to say, you had to book a couple of weeks for yours. Yeah. They were kind of like, they wondered why my veins go in like very right angles.

It's weird. Who have you got tomorrow morning, first thing? It's the bloke who drank all that squash to get into the ball pit at Hartlepool General. Yeah. He's had an entire, he drank a lot of cash or GTX and he just, he's just,

I'll tell you what, he's got some smooth veins, but they're not particularly functional. And then he invented asthma. Imagine the first person who got asthma. I wonder when asthma started. There must have been an increase, wasn't it? It was Big Keith from The Office.

Who sadly passed away now. He did, yeah, that was a big one. If you put under weaknesses, you put asthma. He had eczema, to be fair. I'll fuck that. he had eczema to be fair I'll fuck that it was eczema doesn't matter though we started off

talking about skin complaints so it kind of fits okay can you remember like I remember I was in my friend Martin Burns car he was the one who

he had he had what can only be described as a car bar which was just a lot of cans in his in his car I don't think he really took driving safely, seriously

to be honest back in the 90s but he would certainly yeah he was pretty he ran that Mazda quite hard back in the day and he and I remember sort of I was squeezing what can only be described as a mega spot in his it was more like a lump

it was on like the side, like a big lump. It was on the side of my face, just behind my ear. And it was very painful and it went bang and exploded. And apologies to everyone who's having their breakfast, etc. But I still remember that explosion. I still remember how I felt. I still remember feeling jubilant. I still remember what a mess i still remember feeling jubilant i still remember what a mess it made in his car um and it was just and and you know it might be disgusting to many people

but for me one of the defining moments of my life and have you repeated that same trick in martin burns's car for the one on your head at the moment no because as you get older um it's harder they don't really sort of you can't you can't do anything with them you just gotta you just gotta live let them let them enjoy themselves you can't you can't squeeze them they just

I think your skin becomes too is he epidermis becomes too thick and rubbery too rubbery and you can't yeah it won't break through

it's tragic it really is because you know there's something in there and he just wants to get out but you can't get it out I've never been a big picker anyway it's not really one of my

have you not really I'm a scratcher I'm a puller I'm a sniffer because you know there's something in there and he just wants to get out but you can't get it out. I've never been a big picker anyway. It's not really one of my... Have you not? Really? I'm a scratcher, I'm a puller, I'm a sniffer and I'm a lover. In that order? Yep, in that order.

I've always had... To be fair, you probably see on the screen at the moment my complexion's actually okay. Yeah. It's not too bad. My skin on my body is bad because I get sunburned for about 15 minutes. My skin on my body is bad. I get sunburned for about 15 minutes.

I will get sunburned any time of the year in any country, even if the sun's not out. I will get sunburned in the middle of the night opening the fridge to get a little snack. You get a little solar burn. It's bad. My skin should be studied um for uh for for research purposes although i wouldn't like that because even the idea of putting a kind of light

from a doctor's tool yeah on me would sunburn me yeah what what um did you ever play with those yo-yos at um when you were a kid that used to light up when you'd rotate them? Would that be a cause of concern? That would burn me. With such fair skin. I remember, there's a friend of mine,

Lewis, who I don't see as much anymore. Great lad. Used to be a really, really good friend of mine. He once fell asleep in his dad's garden

in a little hammock on a summer's day for a few hours and woke up and he had sunburned eyelids. Oh, and they should be damp. I mean, they're right next to your eye. They're right next to the vitreous humour, for crying out loud. Just having his eyes open was painful.

That's not good, that, is it? How are you going to put after sun on your eyelids as well? Well, I saw a man getting an emerging, it was like just a very aggressive skin peel. He puts this acid on his face because he's got that kind of like deep acne scars from teenage years. This guy gets,

I mean, it just sounds as barbaric as putting a lot of acid on your skin. And his whole skin just scabs up on his face, complete scab on the blabber, and it eventually peels off, and it's just one big crusty grossness. It's called a chemical peel, isn't it? It is, but I think this is a more advanced version.

I think it goes deeper, and I think it just looks more aggressive. Was he using an experienced and professional practitioner? It was a video on Facebook, Luke. Who can tell? Well, he should not be doing that. Yeah. If he had this door of scab on his cheek,

it was disgusting. It looked like flapped open like a fish's gills. And he was just sort of like going, open, close, open, close. And he said, and it basically went along. And his skin looked amazing afterwards, but very, very pink. Like, it looked great along and his skin looked amazing afterwards, but very, very pink.

Like, it looked great and the acne scars are gone, but it did look like a big red face man. It just feels really sensitive to me. It's one of those things, it gives me the same feeling as someone scratching their fingernails down a blackboard.

It's just, I can't, my skin is so pale anyway. I've had to buy, I've had to buy like a little rash vest. I'm going on holiday next week and I had to buy a little rash vest. Lovely. So I can be out my skin is so pale anyway. I've had to buy like a little rash vest. I'm going on holiday next week and I had to buy a little rash vest. Lovely.

So I can be out in the sun. What, like a little kind of, what is it like a skin tight sort of swimming costume? Yeah, it's kind of like a t-shirt. You see like, so imagine like those kind of things. You see like surfers and dads. Yeah, yeah. I had to go to Andy Biggs windsurfing in Gosport to get it.

Sorry, Andy, what? Andy Biggs. Andy Biggs. Is that like Fat Willie's? Yeah, but hegs windsurfing in Gosport to get it. Sorry, Andy what? Andy Biggs. Is that like Fat Willie's? Yeah, he's like a proper Gosport institution. He's been there for like 40 years. I'll tell you what was interesting. I went there because I bought the Rashfest off Quicksilver and was made promises about delivery that were not kept.

Oh, yes. You had a little ding-dong with Quicksilver, didn't you? Slow Silver. Yeah, well, then I had that Quicksilver, didn't you? Slow Silver. Yeah, well, then I had that fraud on my card, so I had to back down. I got the order cancelled, and so I just got the money back, and then they were like,

oh, don't worry, we'll give you 20% off your next order. I said, well, I can't get an order. You won't fucking send it. So what's the point? 20% off what? Nothing. Your card's marked, isn't it?

So I'm probably, but through no fault of my own on this occasion, I'm probably a problem customer there. So anyway, I point? 20% of what? Nothing. Your card's marked, isn't it? So I'm probably, through no fault of my own on this occasion, I'm probably a problem customer there. So anyway, I said, you know what? I'm taking it back to the traditional way. I'm going down there to visit my mum. I'm going to pop into Andy Biggs. You go in there. Andy himself is in there. Waxing

his board. He's doing all sorts of stuff. Trying to hawk paddleboard yoga to some people. Right, okay, you get on a paddleboard, you do a bit of yoga. It's basically just showing off. You need a still day for that, don't you? Big time.

Anyway, so he gets me a rash vest, great personal service, and then he treats me. Then, as he's trying to check me out, trying to ring it up on the new till system he's got that his son's put in. Uh-oh. But his son's not present.

He starts faffing around with it. And then he starts going, starts doing a bit of satire. Starts going, I'll tell you what, if I carry on like this, I'm going to end up owing 15 grand to the post office. Quite a good gag, I thought. Right. Political? Satirical?

Oh, yeah, I see. Yeah, Fujitsu. Yeah, I see. Yeah, yeah, the scandal. He's a man of culture. He knows what's going on in the world. And what I liked about it was it's not a divisive topic.

No. Everyone supports the postmasters. Everyone supports them, right? And that's how you know it's been a real cut-through political moment because you're Andy Biggs of this world. It's cut through to them. They're talking about it.

I'm team Fujitsu all through. Yeah, you don't hear from them much do you their pr team's been quiet i would say that the um i was in a an antiques fair and uh this this this this old man who ran the um the antiques it was like a proper shop um his his he was he's i like going in there because he's always got um big of blackjacks that I enjoy to eat and consume. What, he gives them away for free to customers?

Gives away free blackjacks so I'm in there like a rat up a bloody door. Well, he has not fucking accounted for you being there. No, exactly. He doesn't know how much

because I'll do a few circles and I'll get one each round. And almost to punish me. I like the idea of his wife racking his brains at the end of every month trying to make the books balance. I just can't see

what's happening. I don't know why it's not working. And you're there with just juice every day, all over your T-shirt. And we were with a mate, Ben, and the bloke, he talks about how lovely the baby is, and they were lovely,

and all that stuff. And then he just tops it off just to make it as uncomfortable as possible talking about the alkali attack in London by that man who jumped in the river. He's gone too far. And he's like, I don't know, you could pick up a child and throw it around.

Apparently that's what he did. I'm backing out the shop at that point. I don't care how many blackjacks you've got. I'm just like, he's turned this into something so uncomfortable, so weird, and I know what's coming next is going to be racist. It's just, you just know, it's just got that about him. He's into military history. We all know where this one ends, to be honest.

So I'm backing out, mouthful of blackjacks. How many blackjacks would you need to accept that kind of chat? Oh, it would be, I would need access to the entire story. I'd need like the full, you know those boxes you used to get with the fruit salads? And it'd be like a massive block about the size of a house brick full of blackjacks. Before I, you know, didn't say it. I used to find that blackjacks and fruit salads were part of the same kind of oeuvre, really. Yeah, they were always seen in pairs, weren't they?

Do you remember booty bags? Booty bags. Yes, it was part of the booty bag selection. Why do we not get booty bags anymore? I'd love a booty bag. Even if somebody made it up, stick a sticker in there, I'd be happy. Yeah. I wonder if they...

Is there a chance they'll rebrand the humble blackjack? What do you mean? What, out of cultural sensibilities? I'm not really sure about the... I think they would have done that if there was any problems in there, to be honest, yeah. I think it is licorice. It's the colour of it, I suppose.

It doesn't taste of licorice, does it? It does taste of licorice. Very sweet licorice. It is, yeah. Because you're not a licorice man, but know you can like a blackjack then that's interesting i'll tell you what tipped me over the edge with that licorice is that when you go to iceland and you just what i like to do is i like to um if i go to a country i've not been to before i like to pop to the equivalent of a of a local convenience store i just buy up a few like chocolate bars

that I don't recognise. Right, yeah. I just give them a little munch, see what's happening. It's like a working class version of doing like food blogging. Yeah, it's like Anthony Bourdain, but with more congealed fats, animal fats.

A lot more cultural impact. And could I find a chocolate bar in Reykjavik without licorice in it no i fucking couldn't no yeah they do come they're obsessed with it up there but i mean i would say that their licorice is decent because you have that beautiful ammonium chloride that salty ammonia stuff that um you don't get anywhere else um there's a shop um on our high street that sells um licorice toffee and uh yeah it's becoming a problem it's becoming an issue to be honest um and presumably because as we've talked about before you are no more than 15 minutes away from

candy floss from candy floss why do you never see sort of like could we not have sort of not menthol flavor but like licorice flavored sort of black candy floss that'd be lovely wouldn't it like spun black jacks why has nobody ever done that because i think everyone's teeth would fall out that's a good point actually but it's only like sugar in it so quite hard to get an anxious dentist as it is certainly is certainly is people queuing down the street for an anxious dentist these days can i um could i uh i think there are a couple of dentists listening if um i could i buy some of that kind of cement paste and just to gum up um a hole in my between my teeth because there's one place where every time i have anything

meaty it always just i mean i can answer that if you want i don't think you need a dentist and i've got a jam one of those little sort of interdental brushes down to get it out and it's just yeah i mean it's infuriating um if i haven't got in the house but it's manageable you get more gaps in your teeth as you get older right but could I not could I not just did the gums recede

or something like a I think it's just because his teeth get worn away like rocks being lapped up by the sea you know like when you hear of like a sad story of like an older gentleman

who won't leave his house even though he's about to collapse off the cliff face into the sea yes that's basically like teeth there was older people there was one um i think this week where there was a massive landslide and basically it took away all of the soil underneath this guy's house uh yeah it's here and and the guy was saying i'm not moving uh the house is undamaged it's like the house is undamaged it's true

the it's not gonna fall to pieces but if it falls down the hill it will probably fall to pieces buddy and you're gonna be in it you're gonna be in it big shot yeah it's sad it's sad because people get attached that stuff my uh my great uncle is a is a resident of australia right uh ran off with my other uncle's wife. It's a different story. Different time. But he's been in Australia ever since. And he is one of those guys who refuses to leave when the wildfires come. Right. Okay.

I mean, yeah. He just socials the trees around his house in water and is like, yeah, it'll be all right. It's like, it won't be all right. You'll be a big steamy mess, I imagine. Those fires go at 60 mile an hour. He's luckily been okay so far. Just tell him that another uncle's wife is in another house. He'll run towards her.

Yeah. Oh, your brother's got another new wife. He's in the safe zone. He's in the safe zone. He's like Benny Hill over there. My next door neighbour's a dentist. And she has got absolutely... Go next door and ask her if she's got any of that cement

I can just gum up my teeth with. I'll ask her. No meat can get in. I'll text her later, and I'll come back to you. Yeah, yeah. But she has got absolutely... Cement, question mark? Yeah, okay.

I don't even think they call it cement, do they? I don't know. Anyway, she's got absolutely perfect teeth. Right, okay. And I was thinking, do you reckon that's a prerequisite? I don't know. I mean, you could have, like, a cautionary tale, couldn do you reckon that's a prerequisite i don't know i mean you could have like a cautionary tale couldn't you it's like i think you know if you i think there's certain kind of professions in it yeah hairdressers gotta have nice hair yeah true true

teeth dentist gotta have good teeth um but they never said that i was i was when i had my over 40s health check the person the, the NHS professional I had that with was actually quite severely overweight. Right, okay. And that's... Quite a sedentary job, I suppose, isn't it? Yeah, none of my business, you know, whatever. But it does become a little bit farcical

when they're saying, well, you know, BMI this, and, you know, heart rate... Doctor Heal Thyself. Yeah, okay. When's your one? Do you doctor heal thyself yeah okay when's your one i mean seriously where's your one have you switched these have you switched these these results i don't feel too bad about it no yeah i um so i'll ask you about the cement i don't know if it's called that while you're talking i'm gonna i'm gonna um type in and find out what it's actually cement can we surely we can buy this stuff on the internet now.

You can apparently buy cement for teeth on Amazon, mate. Oh, well, there you go. Well, I'll just get some of that. Nothing bad can come of that, can it? I'm just worried that very much like I'll have made like a kind of a disease sort of sarcophagus if I gum up both sides of the tooth. What if I've sealed in a bit of forbidden food

that never comes out? What would be unforbidden food in this situation? Something quite inert, like an eggshell. That's not food. No one eats eggshells. Well, I'm trying to think. I think a little bit of lettuce wouldn't cause you any bother. But if I've got a bit of meat in there,

that's going to absolutely honk and I'm going to be Professor Stinky Mouth because I've cemented up an entrance and exit to my hall. Have you also? Like a bad badger. All right, shall we take a short break and then come back with some batteries and stuff? Yeah, we've got batteries this week, so rejoice.

Lovely. We're back with Luke of Pete Shaw. Oh, we didn't touch on the Glasgow's Willy Wonka experience oh we'll do that after the batteries we'll do it after the batteries

let's get the batteries away and then we'll do that because that was Susan Perr Rayan is emailing in from Abuja in Nigeria I was in Boston

on vacation recently and got myself a bigger boy Nebo torchlight some bigger brand batteries came along with it. Fingers crossed this gets me to the database.

I bought the torch in response to my wife getting one that threatened my role as man of the house. And torching your wife. Fantastic round. Thank you for that. Love the show. You guys do a great job and keep me entertained on the commutes and during light workouts.

I want to know what you play when the workouts become heavy. That's what I want to know. It's absolutely imperative that if you are a married man and your wife comes home having purchased a torch, you must drop everything you're doing. Instantly leave the house and go and purchase a bigger torch. Or just create a fire. Or start a fire instantly in whatever room you're in.

Anyway, Nebo, it's not a new player I'm afraid Ryan that is a shame you are the sixth person to send that in Alec, Christopher, Stephen Michael and Chris have all sent that in before you the first instance of the Nebo battery which was also a torch interestingly enough was from our friend Chris Weston in August of

2021 so nice effort but no cigar on this occasion. Yeah, if you can hear a dog doing zoomies, there's a dog doing zoomies at my feet, so apologies. Big Larry, I very much enjoy that the picture attached by on Rayan's email,

the actual torch they bought is called a Big Larry, which is very enjoyable. It doesn't look that big, though. It does not look that big, but thank you for that, Ray stuff uh and uh impeccable um fingernails um tim has got in touch hello guys long time listener since the intro from the eureka podcast hopefully this keyboard smash of a new battery brand is a new player i found it in my daughter's musical dog keep up the great work it's a oh god bj lj i u y u a n budja laja iwan Oh, God. B-J-L-J-I-U-Y-U-A-N. Budja, Lajja, Iwan, I guess.

I suppose. They're not even trying now. No, I mean, that is, even for batteries that only sold inside China, I mean, that is an astonishing set of letters, isn't it? Consonants. Consonants, yeah. I like consonants game in that.

They are, presumably, because Tim is the only listener in our community that can actually type it out, they are new players. Fantastic stuff. And the font is old school. It's bright red on gold. It screams classy.

It screams good luck in Chinese culture. It's just got everything going for it. Yeah, it's a new player. Well done. Congratulations to Tim. Hello to Niels. Hello, Niels. Gentleman attaches a pair of batteries

which is pulled up at kitchen scale. A lot of kitchen scale love. Very similar models of kitchen scales as well. Yeah, they are Frigo super heavy duty triple a's from my amazon history i can see they've lasted for a good 10 years now so they've given me excellent service even if they aren't new players and it's so yeah one of those scales that you um measure out drugs with as an aside uh as an aside so good luck neil's in your um pot export business as an aside keeping on the vasectomy theme for a moment, my wife refers to our dog's neutering

as having his batteries removed. They didn't remove our dog's batteries because Sammy is just running around like an absolute insane dog today.

So apologies. He's going to have to have those done sooner, right? He's already had them done. It's not, it's not calmed him down any.

Is he humping? Bless us. He's not humping. No, the only one who humps is the girl dog 10 year old girl dog she's still got the pep

in her step we're getting sidetracked free go super heavy duty from Nils it's great to hear from someone called Nils first and foremost but Nils

unfortunately you're not the first person to send those in it's not a new player our friends Tom and Rafe sent those in dating back to July of new player. Our friends Tom and Rafe sent those in

dating back to July of last year. So I think they're kind of a new player on the block. I think they might be a fairly new brand of battery, but they're not a new player entering the game. So unfortunately, Nils, that's a no from us. We've got one out of three this time around. Congratulations to Ryan.

Commiserations to Tim and to Nils. But more of that next week I'm sure alright then well that was our batteries for now hello at lukebjorn.com

yeah the Glasgow Willy Wonka immersive theatre experience and like what I like about the world

as it is now there's just always something new happening there's just always somebody trying to make a quick buck and I love you usually see this sort of thing only at christmas describe to people what actually happened um some um enterprising individuals uh hired out a what looks like some kind of um industrial hangar industrial uh building and outbuilding at that and they um basically created um an informal

uh strange uh not very well put together willy wonka experience sort of like interactive candy themed experience um immersive theater as you will and um they don't look like they've spent a lot of money on it um i think it costs 30 pounds to get through the door uh and the level of um the level of quality has been found wanting is that fair to say luke i mean it's just a disparate set of um shitty sort of lollipops um they've bought from some kind of furnishing store um they've got like a crap poster that's too small um really un into like really underwhelming uh actors uh doing it uh confusing uh characters that didn't exist in any of roald dahl's literature um like the spooky mirror man um it's just it's just got a bit of everything really

yeah one of the parents posted a quote i think on one of the social media sites i don't know which one which is one of the quotes of the year i'll just i'll leave it to them to describe what it turned out to be uh they said uh i quote it was a disorganized mini maze of randomly placed oversized props a lackluster candy station that dispersed one jelly bean per child, and a terrifying chrome mask character that scared many of the kids to tears. What I like about this is that they would only dispense one jelly bean per child, and yet they were looking after the pennies to such a degree that they decided to just give them loads of jelly beans.

Mate, you're not going to be here tomorrow. You're just going to be railroaded out of town. You're going to be banned from Glasgow. It just looked like... And they were interviewing the organisers in bomber jackets and they were just like proper Jack the Lad, just having a go. It normally used to happen in some godforsaken provincial town

like at Christmas. But this is Glasgow. You know what I mean? It shouldn't be happening in some godforsaken provincial town like at Christmas. But this is Glasgow. You know what I mean? It shouldn't be happening in the centre of fucking Glasgow. It's amazing. And the guy who was playing Willy Wonka was, yes, quite a bad stand-up comedian. How do you know he's a bad stand-up comedian? Because it says it in the article, Peter.

He didn't say he was a bad stand-up comedian. He may have jovially said he's a bad stand-up comedian. He may have jovially said okay he's a stand-up comic there we go who's taken this job yeah well that's that's work in it work is what a good stand-up comic take this job no because it wouldn't need to because it'd be on the telly or something i'm saying exactly sorry i'm reading between the lines but they but he was presented with a 15 page um set of monologues written by AI. It's the world's best modern tale. It's good stuff.

They didn't get any chocolate either. The thing is, the kids didn't get any chocolate. Just give them chocolate. At least make it seem like they're getting something for their money. I mean, it looked so wonderfully bad. And yeah, you're right. It's a little bit like those things you see at Christmas, those winter wonderlands you see at Christmas in provincial towns. But this is the centre of bloody right. It's a little bit like those things you see at Christmas, those winter wonderlands you see at Christmas in provincial towns. But this is the centre of bloody Glasgow.

It's amazing. It's an incredible story. I don't know. So have the guys who organised it been ordered to give the money back? Was it a registered business? How much money have they made? I mean, they could literally point to everything in that place and went, well, that costs 30 quid.

They're not making that amount of money. It's an atrocious bit of crap. How many people, how many kids went through in total? Um, I don't know to be honest. Do you know what it makes you think? It makes you think that, have you ever been to one of those secret cinema events?

Yeah. How good they are compared to me? Actually, have I been to one? No, I don't think I have. So I went to the Stranger Things one. Yeah. and it was astonishingly good but you're um but they'll all be out of work or in work stand-up actors kind of the actors no but the stranger things one the actors were genuinely brilliant and i suppose you're paying probably 200 quid a go right so they're making a lot of money and so i guess they can afford to hire good people i mean one the stranger things one a few weeks after i went so i didn't see it but matthew modine was actually there they hired him yeah i mean that's that's

a different level which one matthew modine is he the main guy? Papa. Who the hell is Papa? I've never seen a bloody lick of this show. Have you never seen Stranger Things? Is he the little boy? Papa. They call him Papa. This is one of those moments where I'm not interrupted. You carry on.

Right, okay. This is great stuff. You don't think Matthew Mordeen is quite a famous actor? Stranger Things, Papa. No, absolutely. Martin Brenner. Yeah. Right, Matthew Mordeen, he was a star, no, I've never seen that man before in my life.

He's in full world jacket. Okay, right, still nowhere near this man, never seen him before in my life. Look at his Wikipedia photo, it's brilliant, he's wearing a bandana. Is he? Yeah, he't be wearing it in my view

anyway my point is this is like he's also I think he's in Oppenheimer but I haven't seen it anyway there's a

there's a level to this is what I'm saying and the one the Stranger Things one where they converted the whole place into a Starcourt mall

which is a massive part of season two or three I I forget which. Three, I think. And it was remarkably good. They had about a hundred people as actors there. You basically got to the point where you didn't know who the actors were and who the people were because they made, they asked

all the punters to dress up in 80s gear. So the whole thing became hugely immersive. But also, I guess the Secret Cinema is a bit of a brand now so they kind of have to keep up appearances and they've you know they they can't just do what these people did with the willy wonger experience and then leave town the thing is they've not thought that through and i think the problem is the thing we haven't mentioned which is key to this is they

used ai generated images to advertise it so people who don't know any better were like fucking hell that looks amazing right yeah but there's absolutely no way they're ever going to be able to get anywhere near what those images look like for 30 foot ahead it's just not going to happen man even even secret cinema wouldn't do a willy wonka one because it's too fucking hard hmm rivers of chocolate it's i mean it at the very least it's a it's a sanitary sanitary issue sanitary issue you're going to get

one out of five little circles at the front of your establishment the closest they're going to get is the bit in the movies video by Alien Ant Farm

where they jump through the cinema screen and their dresses and palimpas playing their instrument that's the closest you're going to get and that is by the way

the most niche cultural reference you're going to get on this show probably way the most niche cultural reference you're gonna get on this show that's why this year yeah it makes me sad because um i think some 41 are about to

play their final gig in toronto oh really so yeah why i think they're done i think um derrick wibbly wibbly wibbly he was in big trouble with health wise wasn't he he was

in big trouble because um when you see young lads like that he's probably not that young anymore he's so not that young anymore. He's so much as us, mate. Is he? Right, yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Sort of going in and out of an alcohol addiction. You do sort of go, what is that? Like, you've got things on. You know what I mean? I'm like, fine. Do it when you're 65. Well, no, I think.

Like my dad. I think Derek, bless him, because the reason I know this is because the wife I've access to is big into this music uh is that um didn't he really hurt himself you're in a gig or something right and then he pulled a back muscle or hurt his back or something and he started to take opiates i think to the other users about people getting to open stuff and he became addicted and i think it kind of spiraled from there and obviously he now looks quite a bit older

than he actually is because of these health problems he's had it's amazing he's still performing good on him but I mean if they're going to

call it a day fair enough but the Blink-182 guy has gone massively into the UFOs which is a bit of me he always did yeah and one of them

wasn't well as well I think he had cancer for a bit as well we're all getting old man I know when it's kind of more difficult, I guess, to have,

I mean, Blink-182, they've had cancer, they've had a pretty horrific plane crash. There's a lot of things that happen in that band, but because their songs are all about having a wank, it's quite hard to sort of

tally the two, I suppose, and talk about it. It's like, well, I don't come to Blink-182 for reality. I come for big riffs and terrible live guitar playing. Oh, is that right? I've never seen that. Oh, it's atrocious. They've always been atrocious.

But I think as a band, they're cut above your Sum 41s of this world and your Alien Ant Farms of this world, surely. Well, I mean, at least Alien Outfarm could play their instruments. I think one guy had like a, did he have like a, one of those kind of like eight string guitars or something,

like a proper metal guitar? Did he? Love it. Got a lot of time for that. All right. Well, there's only one place to go after that and that's to end the show, Peter.

You can't follow an eight string guitar. It's impossible. You really can't. You really can't. Look after yourselves. Don't get into trouble over the weekend and we'll be back on Monday. No, I do get into trouble, but the right

kind of trouble, I think we should say. Okay, yeah, that's absolutely fine. That's absolutely fine. Choose, pick your battles, choose the right kind of trouble to get into and we'll see you on Monday. Look after yourselves. See you later.
