The Luke and Pete Show - Return of the Hobgoblin
Episode Date: March 5, 2020Back in April of 2009, three men were unceremoniously ejected from their London-based radio show and asked to never return. Something they'd said on the airwaves? Possibly. Or was 'the man' worried ab...out the unwavering grassroots support (dare we say love) for the trio amongst the swell of G20 protesters that stamped past their window that spring morning? We may never know. But they're back for one last half hour of shouting and awful language.Listen to Clash Of The Titles with Alex Zane here: http://hyperurl.co/ClashpodAnd get Pete and Marc Haynes on Wrestle Me here: http://hyperurl.co/wrestlemeSlide into our DMs: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

it's the little page show it's a thursday and we are back with mr alexane and mr mark hens
and we are having a little bit of fun if you want to hear uh alexane you can hear him on
clash of the titles every single bloody week it's's definitely become part of my week, and I hope it becomes part of your week, because it's bloody hilarious.
I was on a college tour.
It's sort of Fent City, wasn't it?
I was on Fent City.
You'd normally say, oh, it's so great.
It's become part of my week.
Yeah, like taking medicine or doing a poo.
A duty, like pulling out the bins or something.
Bar the routine now, I mean, I enjoy it, but it's got to be done.
You know, we sit round and it's played in the boardroom and we all sit there.
And if there's a real disagreement, then that will be made clear.
I'm waiting for you to go, I have notes.
It's very good.
It is very good.
It is very good.
The premise is we put two...
I'm going to do the hard sell now.
I'm going to do the hard sell.
We can do it with the subscribers. Yeah, so we picked two... I'm going to do the hard sell now. I'm going to do the hard sell. We could do it with the subscribers.
Yeah, so we picked two movies with something in common against each other.
So, you know, we've done Armageddon and Deep Impact,
like two movies that aren't very good.
It's The Connection.
No, it's not The Connection.
It's Meteor.
But yeah, it's things like that.
It's really good.
It's Meteor than that.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hey.
Ten years in the biz.
Ten years not under your tutelage in the radio business, mate.
Hey, you could do Teen Wolf and adulthood.
I don't quite know how it works.
That's exactly how it works.
It's shown in the next episode.
Imagine being
the sort of person
who went,
they're talking
about adulthood,
I'm going to listen
to that podcast,
there's something
about that film
which just saying
it makes me feel
a bit tired and bored.
I'm sure everyone
involved is very nice.
He's learnt
since the
independence.
I wish you'd said
that more when we
were together on the radio
what I just said
I'm sure everyone actually involved
is really nice
and I take it back
all I did was
I slagged it off
and then I sort of went
but I'm sure they're nice
I mean that's not
in 10 years
that's not a great deal of learning
it's still more
than you used to do
that's true
that's true
we were talking
I've got a terrible memory
and pretty much the only thing
I can remember
from the X-Men Breakfast Show
is threatening
Casey Affleck
with a fight.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh,
he was still in the building.
He was acting
like a big baby.
He came in,
he was not,
I mean,
he's never really
kind of got that
kind of even B-list
kind of like thing.
He's good.
Yeah,
he won an Oscar.
He won an Oscar he won an Oscar
not in Bonnie's house
alright
I mean
all I'm going to say
is at the time
Pete you were very quiet
about where he was
on the pecking order
he said he had a cold
he came in with his PRs
and he said he
had a cold
but he was milking it
he basically
had been dragged
into the studio
to do an interview
about his film
he didn't want to be there
but rather than
moan to them
he decided to be a bit of rather than moan to them,
he decided to be a bit of a dick on air.
And he was like, I'm so sorry, I can barely speak.
I really shouldn't be here.
Then he leaves, but he hasn't been gone long enough
for him to not still hear our show being broadcast around the building.
And Mark goes, what a baby!
What a bloody baby! was he was though look we
didn't want him there we didn't want to be there we wanted to be at home in bed i get it all right
yeah he's coming out and going oh you know i'm gonna do my film and everything and he's like
why have you brought me out here mate nothing to do with us i don't want a 530 addison lee from
holloway road yeah where the driver would consistently fall asleep driving down it.
We didn't want a future Oscar winner on the show.
What we wanted was a guy dressed as the Hobgoblin from the beer company
so we could all give them free advertising and get into massive trouble.
One of the reasons why we got fired was because a proportional Hobgoblin
was booked by a producer of the show who did a lot of work in local radio, let's say,
and decided to bring some local radio sensibilities
into a bigger station.
And the sales floor got a little bit,
got a big hobgoblin's nose out of joint.
Well, I mean, part of it was he was dressed
really convincingly as a hobgoblin.
Yes, none of which you can see.
Radio is not a visual medium.
So when we're going, there's a hobgoblin here,
and there's just a man going, hello,
it is just a man.
I mean, it's not really a hobgoblin
that came to a that came to like the most memorable moment when the guy came in dressed
as the predator yes and was there a predator and an alien i believe there was both and you
were trying to cajole they weren't allowed to speak yes because legally you're not allowed to
like yeah the tl's were like do not make him speak because it will ruin it will ruin the the relationship with the the film company it's a radio show no one can see he's a predator
anyway this guy was clearly furious that that was his job also i mean it's worth saying none of us
were good enough on radio to convey the experience of having a predator in the room yeah so in the
unlike many radio studios when there are actual predators in the room.
Yeah, we all stayed quiet, didn't we?
Oh, dear.
Well done, everyone.
All I can remember is the smell of the latex.
These people who were dressed, they would always smell,
they would always stink because they'd been in it all day.
I just remember the look on the PR's face,
because in the end he broke, so was like come on what is it really
like what's your name and he went from inside the predator mask you could hear andy
andy i'm like are you enjoying this he's like no not really i'm an actor it's really hot in here
and they the look on their face was like you will never dress as a predator again. In fairness, the Hobgoblin was great because he did try and extemporise
what he was doing,
and he just kept treading in landmines.
So I remember you saying to him,
so what's your daily routine?
He was like, I get up at six,
and I have a pint of Hobgoblin ale,
and you were like at six in the morning,
and you could hear, even on air,
you could sort of feel the PRs getting hot.
This is deeply illegal.
You should be promoting alcohol at breakfast.
In any deep punish.
And I wouldn't.
Those brews have been in place for 20 years.
I'd have water.
I'd have water.
You're drinking now then.
What time do you start drinking?
I am, lads.
I'm going to come clean with you.
I'm getting out of my depth here.
He'd have little sort of prepared jokes about stellar.
He'd be drinking,
and then the little pixies come in,
and they wee in my glass,
and I call that stellar as I do.
We just ignore that and go,
yeah, yeah, yeah,
but are you drunk now?
Are you all right, mate?
It's early, isn't it?
And you've been to three radio stations before us,
and we're the only stupid fuckers who've got you on air.
I know.
They used to go around radio stations,
basically hoping that someone...
They'd turn up at reception and go,
Hi, we've got a load of beer.
Can we come on to your radio show?
And of course everyone would go,
Absolutely not.
No, you haven't appeared for this.
And if you're going to appear for this,
it wouldn't be worth four cans of...
They'd be crossing them out on the list,
and they'd go,
Well, we might as well try XFM. They'd'd get half an hour i'd buzz them up from the desk i'd be like come in come in now
we need content content one time uh when grand theft auto the roar came out i begged a pr to
send us a copy and i sat in the zoo and played Grand Theft Auto 4, completely unpaid
we weren't getting paid for this
and I would do weather reports and traffic
reports from Liberty City
in Grand Theft Auto
and you'd be going, Pete, what's the
weather like in Liberty City? Well it's raining
and we did our list for a copy of the game
I couldn't play at home, at least we both
had Xboxes, they'd sent us a PS4
copy, so for the price
of cost price 10 quid they got a show dedicated to a game that had come out that day and then me
and you on the podcast went to hamley's and bought a copy and recorded ourselves doing it for free
gratis yeah we were so eager to please in the wrong way although when nissan asked us to promote
the cash guy i know i know neither of you picked me up and i spent an entire show going so the Eager to please in the wrong way. Although when Nissan asked us to promote the Qashqai, I...
No, neither of you picked me up on it.
I spent an entire show going,
so the Nissan Quasagie is available to buy right now.
And we wondered why we didn't get more sponsors.
We pretended we were on that Qantas flight.
Was it Qantas?
Oh, my God.
The first flight of the Airbus 380.
Yes.
Yeah.
And we pretended all...
We got an Aussie to do all of our IDs.
We weren't getting paid or sponsored by the Airbus people
or whoever was going to run the flight.
We created our own branded content for a brand that didn't want to sponsor us.
And behind each link, when we came on air,
we had that low hum just to try and convince people we were on an aircraft.
And we were convincing them until you started getting fancy.
You bring this up!
Alex started getting fancy and naming celebrities who were on the thing.
But really shit celebrities.
I'm just waving at Toby Anstis right now,
and we come up here and Peter goes,
you're really ruining this.
No one's going to believe Toby Anstis on this flight.
You're ruining this stupid thing,
which we don't know why we're doing it.
I mean, it is a trip down memory lane,
for sure, but look,
it's reminding...
It must be great for people to hear.
Third-hand great memories.
It really must be.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so...
Not any more news stories, Mark?
I like the one about the man
who spent nine grand on cheesecake in ten years.
Not just any old man.
He's Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader.
He's a big swinging cheesecake in American politics.
He's swinging his cheesecake all around the Senate.
And in ten years, he's spent nine grand on cheesecake.
Yeah, $8,600 in less than ten years.
He actually came forward and said, no, cheesecake's my guilty pleasure a that's an argument for it um i had to look at the figure
so the place he keeps going to is junior's cheesecake again unpaid promotion and it's
absolutely excellent um but they they cost like cnn.com That is not a cheap promotion. It cost £8.25 for an original cheesecake, which...
A whole cake, a slice?
Is it specified?
I think it's a whole one.
Just jam his head into it.
Yeah, the most he ever spent in one...
His arm's tied behind his back, like a pie-eating contest.
Well, the most he ever spent in one trip was $516,
which meant he ordered at least 62 of them in one trip,
which is just amazing. I absolutely love it. That's too much. 61, I'm in one trip. Which is just amazing.
I absolutely love it.
That's too much.
61, I'm approaching my limit.
This is like something from The Onion.
There's a quote from him.
He said, um, he said,
Cheesecake, cheesecake, cheesecake.
Junior's cheesecake, Junior's cheesecake.
I'm also a spokesman for diabetes.
I give them as gifts, the New York Democrat said
as he held up a copy of the news report
and a platter of six cheesecake slices.
I love it.
So I say to the New York Post and others,
I'm guilty as charged.
He's holding a brown paper bag dripping with cream.
Yeah.
I once, about ten years ago,
I got a sandwich on Christmas Eve from a Portland,
Great Portland Street.
They had a little sandwich place on the corner.
Yeah.
There was one on each corner,
so I'm, you know, I don't think they're going to suit me.
Although they actually did a criminal act against me.
So I bought a sandwich on Christmas Eve, and it was £9.50.
I had a Snapple and things like that.
It came to £9.50.
And I was very pissed.
And when they got my card, they obviously clocked that I was pissed,
that it was Christmas Eve.
It was going to be Christmas.
It was going to be busy.
And instead of putting in
£9.60 they moved
the decimal place and they put £96
and it went through
so after Christmas I looked at this
and I thought ah jeez ok that's a mistake
that's happened so I contacted
my bank and I said look I think the decimal
place is in the wrong, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt
you should get a reduction on the things you buy
that cash carry have we moved to the decimal system places and the wrong, you know, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. You should get a reduction on the things you buy.
Yeah, no, that cash carry. Have we moved to the
decimal system? But then the bank
rang me back and they were like, oh no, they dispute it.
I said, what do you mean they dispute it?
So you had someone from the bank
ring them up going, did he buy 96
quid worth of sandwiches? Apparently, there was a fraud thing
so they rang them and they're like, you know, this is being disputed.
A disputed charge. Do you want to go through it?
And they told them, they remembered distinctly on christmas eve a fat man came in and he bought 32
sandwiches right and i was like i was like i did not buy 32 sandwiches and they were like is it
possible that you did and you just forgot about it i was like that'd be like three bags worth
can anyone corroborate your story I was like
can't you get the CCTV
and they're like
oh they will not release that
and I'm like no
because I didn't buy
32 sandwiches
on Christmas Eve
I wouldn't have been able
to carry them home
arguing with a full mouth
I've still got some left
I wondered why that year
I got 14 sandwiches
from you
I got a charge
on my
on my Monzo account
you know one of those digital ones that every time you like to buy something online it says is this a charge you my Monzo account, one of those digital ones,
that every time you'd like to buy something online,
it says, is this a charge you want to do?
Yeah, cool.
I got two fraudulent charges,
and it was creating powder and video games.
The first one doesn't sound like me.
The video games, they look at what you bought before,
and they go, are you sure you didn't buy this?
Are you sure you didn't buy this?
It's so unfair when it's a food stuff, though. We've seen that you've bought sandwiches before, so are you sure you didn't buy it? Are you sure you didn't buy it? It's so unfair when it's a food stuff, though.
We've seen that you've bought sandwiches before.
So are you sure?
Well, you're just not stocking up.
Do you want to just send us a photo of yourself
so that we can then decide whether or not it's possible
that you ate 32 sandwiches and it was normal?
I got my card cloned when we were in Krakow together.
Oh, really?
We went to a pizza place and
weird charges started showing up on my card.
Is that true? I got it all sorted because, you know,
it was Poland, so they were like, it's definitely
for us. Whatever you did in Poland.
It's true, if you try and buy anything
in the kind of eastern states,
they do ask
you, they ring you up and go, are you
doing what you're doing? But that's what I mean.
I am. I'm not saying my opinion is Poland.
Who's put all these strip joints on my card?
I don't know.
They're never done with strip joints.
They're always done with restaurants.
I've heard.
If you're not going with cash, what's wrong with you?
You're only ever going to overspend.
I like to make it rain with all my credit cards.
Just chuck them up
in the air.
Like that.
If I do it quick enough
it's like Gambit
from the X-Men.
They just stick in the wall.
And then what I do
is I shout the pin numbers
and I leave.
I'm having to have
a credit card removed
from my eye.
Happy birthday!
Hey, have that treated
privately.
3166.
Me and Alex In Krakow
Went to a salt mine
Oh my god
You said that was
Going to be good
Someone said
It wasn't good
The god of salt
Trapped underground
For four hours
It was alright
It was a big
Pope John Paul II
Statue made out of salt
The woman instructed me
Not to lick
And then you got into trouble
For licking the walls.
Bit rich.
Catholic church, innit?
Oh, we're not allowed
to lick them.
Outrageous.
We're going to take
a short break.
We'll be back to
belittle a organised religion
again.
Oh, I'm waiting to see
how you tackle the big one.
You were working
as a waitress
in a cocktail bar.
A cocktail bar.
Have you heard that?
It's like a guy who's made Don't You Want Me By.
Human League.
Human League.
Where they've just made a version of that song
where it just loops and loops around where the only lyrics are.
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar.
Working in a cocktail bar. It's all the way through. Working. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. Working in a cocktail bar.
It's all the way through.
Working.
You were working.
So this is absolutely normal to me because when I was at school,
I recorded a C90 of my favourite song at the time.
And I missed the start and the end of it.
So it was just about three quarters of it,
the middle three quarters of Shampoo Trouble.
And I looped it on a C90, and it was the only thing I took it the middle three quarters of Shampoo Trouble and I looped it
on a C90
and it was the only thing
I took on my
French residential
as a kid
and by the end
I was
insane
by the end
I was in Shampoo
that's not
unreasonable
Shampoo
big in Japan
is it a boy or a girl
they released an album
just for Japan I believe
yeah
but it was also
they were the
ultimate band that when,
even though they disappeared and broken up a long time ago,
that saying came out when people were like, oh, they're over.
It's like, no, no, no, they're just big in Japan.
Like they were still going in Japan.
And I think they were for a bit, but they are not still big in Japan.
They were slightly big in Japan because it was a bit creepy, wasn't it?
They were sort of like young women.
I think they were old women who were dressed as young women, weren't they? Hey creepy, wasn't it? They were sort of like young women who were sort of punky.
I think they were old women
who were dressed as young women,
weren't they?
Hey, why don't you just go online
and start shouting at women pop stars?
Is Jokey your favourite movie, Pete?
Alex, is he going to come back
in a really shitty Batman?
Have to do it again contractually?
Is he tied to more films?
No, he's a film guy.
Catch the tails.
Appearing like a big rubber ducky.
Batman have to go, duck.
He's like, I've got to do this.
No, I believe in the new The Batman movie,
directed by Matt Reeves with Robert Pattinson as the Batman,
it is going to be the Penguin and the Riddler
so they have to just
completely dodge the issue
yeah I think so
I mean because
they're not connected anymore
because when DC
tried to replicate
the Marvel Cinematic Universe
they failed
because everyone
hated Justice League
so
release the Snyder Cut
that will make sense
to some people
they probably won't
I do because I
have a lot of friends
who like films
and that sort of thing oh ok but I friends who like films and that sort of thing.
Oh, okay.
But I don't like films or that sort of thing.
I think Joker would have been better
if he'd actually done something
other than just walked around going...
The most subversive thing was
that he just had a tab on the whole time.
Yeah.
Oh, that's naughty, isn't it?
Yeah.
He did what?
He just had a tab on.
He had a cigarette on all the time.
I was just waiting for the minute where he went,
now I'm going to go and rob a bank
dressed as a prime minister or something.
I was like, this is going to get great.
And then Batman would come in and go, zonk.
And he'd go, take that, you.
And he'd go, oh, this is no laughing matter.
And it would end.
But it is a weird thing about that movie
in the sense that it is completely unrelated to the Joker.
They have made a movie
that they've then gone hmm how do we drag people in and if you want to find a fault in it it's like
you're bringing a younger audience in who go oh the joker i know him to a movie that is absolutely
not really a superhero movie it's just been made the joker to make a bit money is it so they could
have just got a naughty boy. I am a naughty boy.
Brackets.
Imagine if I was in the DC Universe.
I interviewed Joaquin Phoenix for that movie
and I sat down with him.
And he was in a funny mood anyway.
And I'd been sort of told by Warners,
you know, he thinks you're a news journalist
and we told him you're not.
So, you know, just make that clear at the start.
And he comes in.
How do you prove that?
Well, I... You take the bit of two questions in p e new
who would imply this man how tall am i i'm 5 10 my favorite colors have you ever found anything
in your garden i said so this is a a movie. And he's like, okay. And I'm like, it'll be about 15 minutes.
And he went, we'll see.
I like that.
That's good.
It was good.
Then what did he do?
Shot you in the head.
Then he was lovely.
Then he was, he's very intense, but he's a very nice man.
And I do like it.
Although, like some things you hear about that movie, you're just like, well, obviously,
like people like that dance in the bathroom that he does, the weird dance.
He just improvised that.
And you're like, yeah, of course he did.
No one writes weird dance.
Well, I wonder what he was supposed to be doing in that scene.
Yeah, just get out, get some tablets out there.
I'm dancing.
Rob a bank.
I'm going to.
Get rid of Rob a bank.
No, it's a dancing time.
And you walk down these stairs and Rob a bank.
Nope, dancing.
We had this whole bank robbery and then Batman
swoops and he's like, no, I'm just going to dance
weird. Why don't we
re-edit it with Prince's Batman
soundtrack in all the key bits?
Go, go, go with a smile.
Bat dance! Coming down
the stairs. Party.
That must have been done. That must have been
done. Why hasn't anybody done it?
Oh, mate. Can we just do it?
Can you do it, Alex?
Crank up my movie.
Yeah, I will do.
Apparently the residents of the Bronx hate that movie
because everyone is turning up at those stairs.
They're in Instagram photos and the locals are like,
what the fuck?
It's just some stairs.
It's not like you sleep on the stairs.
Don't worry about it.
It's like Mrs. Doubtfire's house in, where is that?
San Francisco.
I've been there.
See, you're part of the problem, Pete.
Put the back doors in.
Where is she?
Hello, children!
Oh, God.
He's back.
Oh, dear.
Let's do an email before we've got to fuck off.
Jake, a bit late with this one.
Working as a gardener.
The founder of Buttplug
in the vegetarian patch
vegetarian patch
vegetable
the patch of the garden
for vegetarians
was it the last show
we were talking about
burying things in the garden
I've never buried a vegetarian
no
my garden's got a bomb hole
oh
best kind of beer
the best kind of beer
as in
is this a
I don't want to wade into something that I've been tricked into.
Is this a genuine question?
The hobgoblin of goblins here.
No, I wanted to add,
basically, we've been talking about the best kind of beer.
I was kind of on board with this topic,
but I didn't contribute much because...
If the beer wasn't cold,
it's the guilty cold.
Beer, what would it be called?
Wheaty brown juice.
Multi-fizzy yellow.
Is that what you want
is that the right thing
am I in the right ballpark
um different kinds of beers
like you know like
shower beer
you know when you're
getting ready
and you have
I've never really
got a shower
no
oh have a beer in the
shower
in the shower
right okay
so it's not about the
brand we're not promoting
more brands
it's about where you
have the beer
we've learned in all
those years that we
don't do that unless
you're beer 52s who may be
sponsoring us
well I paid for the
hobgoblin to walk in
in a second for no
reason
first beer
after work
Sam has come up
with one
long time listener
I don't expect to be
writing in
but he has
this is as much
a surprise
as it is to you
thanks for that
automaton
talking about types
of beer
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the sauna
beer. As someone living in Finland, I know many people
who would instantly put this one at the top of the pile.
It can be combined with a shower beer
and can be drunk before, during and after
the sauna. I prefer
the singular post sauna beer.
Not in a sauna. It's just going to
dry out. Yeah, that's going to be a horrible cotton
mouth. I mean,
it's a very, very specific one
but standing
in the middle of this
ice field. Supermarket.
This ice field
in Norway,
Finland, sorry, and the northern
lights are above you and you crack open
a beer, that's
probably the greatest beer ever.
Have you done that? No. No, I just imagined that would probably the greatest beer ever have you done that no
no i just imagine sometimes and this is this is not really acceptable sometimes when i do go past
people who are drinking on the street just when they like go past a park and there's five guys
just sitting out there and always one of them has got a council job so they're wearing like
there's always one of them he's a bit like i'm keeping in touch with my roots i like that they all sit there drinking and sometimes i do think i must be nice
to just sort of go it's 11 30 i'm gonna go meet the lads in that bit of wood gonna have a have a
tin of tisky well they do well they do say like i mean again speaking of tisky a delicious lager
one of my favorites up there with the common Commoner Garden Stella my big favourite horrible lager that gets me powerful
apparently
Eastern European
labourers
anybody who works
with their hands
they don't understand
why
labourers
work all day
and then spend
all of their money
in the pub
because it's expensive
why don't you just
go to a supermarket
get a couple of cans
and just sit on a wall
and drink it.
And you know, work for five or six years and then go back home and build something with
some decent finances.
Whenever I see those guys out there, it always looks like-
It's genuinely aspirational.
I don't know five people.
And-
I will drink with me again.
Yeah!
And it is weird sidling up to a group or a rowdy, yeah, going, speaking Polish.
They would never accept me.
They'd go, what is he?
Is he working for the council?
Is he something?
Is he trying to check up on me?
Just want to have a little bit
of a sip with you, yeah?
That high-vis vest is too clean.
He's not real.
Exactly.
Exactly that.
I'd have one of those
woolen caps on as well
and they'd just be like,
he's trying too hard.
Your best bet is to go,
like, you're the foreman.
Come on, lads.
Come on, lads, drink up.
Bring a top hat and a monocle.
Is this how
four men dress
you know like
the bit of Chernobyl
that tells all those
miners to go and
polish it on the ground
I was briefly
given the job
of being a foreman
of a building site
entirely through nepotism
so my
between university
and school
I probably should have
done it the other way around
because I didn't go
to university before school
that's why you were
given a foreman job
before you were a labourer
I'm really looking forward to doing this English degree I mean I can't read or university before school. That's why you were given a foreman job before you were a labourer.
I'm really looking forward to doing this English degree.
I mean, I can't read or count yet,
but we'll get there.
And between school and university,
my dad, he worked at a building firm,
and he said,
we're doing the St Catherine's docks,
the redevelopment of that huge project.
And I really want to ingratiate myself with my staff.
Totally.
So I turned up on the first day, and they they went who the fuck are you and i said oh hello hello good day gentlemen i shall be your
foreman i'm the foreman and you know what i'm going to be the coolest foreman you've ever met
and then you kick flipped off a bloke came up to me and he said he said if you say a fucking word
to me he said i'm gonna put you in that fucking hole. Right, we'll do it.
And he went,
what?
A lovely bit of hazing.
Why not?
Yep.
And I lasted a day
and I went back
and because my life
is relatively easy,
I was able to say,
I'm not going back farther.
They were beastly to me.
And my dad went,
well,
he'll be fired tomorrow.
And I went to university
where I did Pope studies.
And now I'm the pope cool
you can't lick him
he's not made of salt
I want to lick the pope
the salty pope
how can people find your shows
and what are their names
Wrestle Me is a wrestling show
about Wrestlemania
we started a Wrestlemania 1
we went right through
to all of the Wrestlemanias
and we are now at
Wrestlemania 24
wait you're on 25
it's the next one
we haven't recorded it yet
oh my god
I was there
I know
I was there
do you remember anything about it
I bought you a wonderful
birthday present
you did
he speaks about that so much
it's the best belt he owns
it was difficult to hide from him
because we were,
we were,
I don't know what you'd call it,
a little convention bit beforehand.
We were,
yeah,
we were at the Hall of Fame.
That's right.
And Alex,
Alex bought me a big gold belt
like Ric Flair used to wear.
It was my birthday the next day.
Shoved it down my pants.
But every time,
we were staying in a hotel
and we had rooms opposite each other
and I'd knock and go into Alex's room
and whenever I walked in, he'd be frantically
stuffing something either in the bed
or behind the thing.
That had nothing to do with the bed.
Every time.
My American Girl doll.
Yeah, that was a good trip.
Although, remember when we went...
Are you really upset about it?
It's fine.
Remember that great bit?
We went to the House of Blues.
Obviously, it's a chain.
We massively overordered it.
Jack-lagged.
This is just how much additives they put in American food.
Because we overordered it.
I must have left a bit of steak the size...
A little bit of steak.
And then we went back and i woke up at
five in the morning and i'd been full when i went to sleep my first thought wasn't where am i oh
what time is it this is jet lag i woke and went where's that bit of steak where is the steak i
need that still why did i leave that bloody steak the woman who was our waitress there gave me a
great piece of advice it's actually one that i've never stopped thinking about don't touch waiters no no i don't hold by
that at all that's terrible advice try again she we said what are grits like and she went
then don't order the grits and we ordered the grits and they were awful and ever since then
i've been like that is the one piece of advice that i think people say to me what's the greatest
piece of advice you've ever been given in your life. I'd go, don't order grits. Exactly, grits. No wonder everyone out there carries a gun
to shoot
their grits.
I've shot my grits, guys.
Get out of the restaurant, sir.
And obviously, Clash of the Titles.
Oh yeah, Clash of the Titles is available
and it's bloody marvellous
and if you like films at all
then please do subscribe to us.
If you want to sit here and episode one of my favorites,
one of the films is American Psycho,
hearing a man squirm in his chair because he's scared
that one of the other horses is going to apply this psychopath test on him.
It's brilliant.
Yeah, thanks for bringing that back.
It was genuinely uncomfortable.
I was fully prepared for them to analyze exactly why I'm like Patrick Bateman,
which is too close to the truth.
If I say it's funny, because I'm aware.
They'll all be dead in the morning.
Oh, no, not that.
There we go.
Let's get out of here.
Good to know that we're all as good at the buttons as we ever were.
Jesus Christ, that was a terrible
ten seconds.
Bye.
Billy Genesis.
Raph!
This was a Stakhanov production.
