Starting point is 00:01:08 Hello. Hello. I've become obsessed with the term run up your ribs. What does it mean? Chris on the VGC, the video game podcast said it and it's I think it's from certain. Run up your ribs? If someone, it's basically saying like go fuck yourself it's like yes yeah and and I am and I really want to use it organically but now I've expressed
Starting point is 00:01:34 my love for run up your ribs or run up your ribs no just run up my ribs so run up no run up your ribs I never run your ribs run up your ribs that No just run up my ribs. No run up your ribs. I've never heard it before. Run up your ribs that's all it is yeah but it's just a very pleasing thing to say and I want to organically use it but now I've said it on the Looking Pete show everyone will know I've stolen it. Run up your ribs love it. Yeah apparently it says run up my ribs is a Scottish saying coined in West Lothian. Run up my ribs. Someone or something has annoyed you or taken the mickey out of you and you've had enough. Run up my ribs. And return you again, you can go run up my ribs,
Starting point is 00:02:08 I'm not moving from this seat, is the example given. It's lovely. It's got to be the best in the world. It is the best in the world. It is the best in the world, but yes. So I would love to hear you use that contextually over the course of the next few shows. That would be absolutely fantastic.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Run up my ribs, Luke, run up my ribs. Yeah, anyway, what's been flying on your boat this week, what have you been up to? We should say to our listeners that we're recording this slightly early because you're off on your holidays. I am yes I'm off to Anik for a week which is up near where I am from in the north east. Spelled ALNWIK? That's the one. Is it near to Huttlapool? Yeah not the one, yeah. Is it near to Hartlepool? Yeah, not a million miles away. Are you going to pop in to see the fam? Pop in to see the fam. Well I'm going to deposit my mam. We're going to have a thrilling six hour journey to Hartlepool,
Starting point is 00:03:00 I think. We'll probably stay there for a night and then... Chucking in the back of the century, letting her put her feet up. The century's still on bricks, we're stay there for a night and then Chuck it in the back of the century, let her put her feet up The century's still on bricks, we're still waiting for a ball joint to be applied Still got the Jag though? Not got the Jag, the Jag got sold ages ago So what are you going to do then? We've got a Mini Countryman to drive You've got another car? No we sold, we had a Mini and we had a land yacht and we exchanged the Mini for
Starting point is 00:03:30 a slightly larger Mini that is more befitting and also I can't keep up with this fucking nonsense. So you had the Jag, then you got the Sentry, you sold the Jag, then you bought the Mini, and then you bought another Mini. No we only had a Mini. We had a Mini in it. We had a Mini and a Jag, right? OK? Yeah. But the only reason why that was the case is that I couldn't drive manual. So Sarah always had a manual Mini.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Isn't that the most emasculated thing you've had to say this week? And I had, no, I think it's the way of the world. I don't think anyone who drives a stick in 2024 are kidding themselves. I've got an automatic, actually. Exactly. It's easier, isn't it? You don't have anyone who drives stick in 2024 are kidding themselves. But- I've got an automatic actually. Exactly, see easier than it.
Starting point is 00:04:07 You don't have to worry about it. You can play, you can text. Um. Ha ha ha ha ha. Don't say that. I think you can eat a, you can eat a knickerbocker glory if you want. Um, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Yeah, and so we have all this. And yeah, so now we've got a slightly bigger mini that is automatic. No, no, no, stop, stop, stop, because people care about this. Do the timeline properly. Tell me the cars that have come in and out, like the transfer record. This is like a Wikipedia for like an old prog rock band. It is like that, it's totally like that. Actually, Jimmy Smith was the original guitarist, but he did come back for two years in the 90s.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah. Add the 500 and a mini, right? Two little wee cars, yeah? You've never mentioned the mini before ever. So it's got a mini, because I've got near cost, use it! No, no, you can't use it. I can't drive the bloody thing, can I? Cause it's manual.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Page one, you've got the Fiat 500 and you've got the mini. Yes. Now just take us through the transfer record from there until the present day. Fiat 500 out, Jaguar in, the Mini remains. Then Jaguar, Jaguar, Mini, Mini, Mini, Toyota land yacht arrives. So at that point you've got three cars. Yeah but I'm just trying to get rid of the Jaguar But people are being silly and we buy any car being silly about what they're willing to pay for it
Starting point is 00:05:31 So then I find someone to buy it He's out of the door and so we just got so we've got the Toyota and the and the car I can't drive the mini Sarah's gonna be driving you guys all out to Annick and Hartlepool in the mini No because So Sarah's going to be driving you guys all the way up to Annick and Hartlepool in the Mini? No, because since then, since my Toyota needed new suspension, I said, Sarah, having a car I can't drive means that you've got to do all the driving. And so we exchanged- I bet you were as polite as that as well.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I bet you were really polite and calm when you said that as well. We exchanged the... We exchanged the mini manual for a mini automatic that's a bit bigger. How much did that cost you? Less... More than I needed in a taxpaying month. So off that, which is a rare month for you. A rare month for me, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Off the back of that story, little anecdote there about the cars, be honest now, do you think that is normal? What do you mean? Do you think it's just a normal kind of standard thing that families go through? Like, in and out cars all the time? Families with me in it? Yeah, there are people all the time who are exchanging cars, doing this and that, people
Starting point is 00:06:41 who like, you know, making their life financially more difficult than it needs to be. Yeah, all the time, all of the time. What car did you have growing up in the family? We didn't, we didn't, I didn't have one. That's why I've never been to Anik. That's why I've never been to Anik at 43. Never had a car. Never had a car. That's interesting. My mom could drive, but she, but she, we just couldn't afford it apparently. So yeah. When you were telling that story about the cars, which I'll be honest, I thought would be not as boring as it ended up being. No. But were cars back in the day more expensive to run though?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Because that was the main thing, we just couldn't afford to run a car. I don't think so, because I don't think road tax and fuel and stuff was anywhere near as expensive as it is now. No. But I guess the actual buying of the car was probably more expensive expensive the used car market weren't wasn't what I would say I suppose because we had we didn't get our first car till I was about 10 And I think my mom used to chuck me on the back of the bike when I was really young and then we used to Ride bikes together and I think what happened was we grew up obviously. It's quite a small town You could kind of get around. I think now a lot more stuff has been Homogenized into things like retail parks and industrial
Starting point is 00:07:46 parks where you have to actually go places. Now of course in London you've got such good public transport that you probably don't need to have a car, but I think the need to have a car outside of big cities is much greater now. Completely agree. Because you've filleted out public services and public transport and stuff like that as well. So I think it's probably a case that your parents may or may not have been able to afford
Starting point is 00:08:04 it if they couldn't and they couldn't, but I don't imagine there was such a necessity for one then. I just thought life was a bit simpler probably. Yeah and also you know buses worked a lot better than what they do now. And yeah my dad just scooted around on a bike but so we were on the crossbar most weeks. Lovely. Look while you were telling this story, I've been looking at staring at a lovely picture of Annick Castle. Hmm, yeah, it's a lovely part of the world, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:31 It's a lovely part of the world. Are you gonna treat yourself to a little trip around the grounds of Annick Castle? I might bring me sword, wave it around for a bit, yeah. Lovely old job. Yeah, it just keeps coming back to this sword. Luke, you can't stop me doing anything because... Isn't that a fucking story of my career? You can't stop me doing anything because... Isn't that a fucking story
Starting point is 00:08:46 of my career? You can't stop me doing anything because I'm really sorry to announce that Pete Donaldson has successfully applied for 100% of the trademark rights slash intellectual property ownership of the Luke and Pete show. I can kind of assumed you'd do that anyway. I could. I'm basically just reading. I'm reading the message from Morrissey's website, basically saying that he's Johnny Mars apparently successfully applied for 100% of the Smiths name. So now he can tour as the Smiths. Lovely. And he's done that right, only because he hates Morrissey. That to me, that objectionable.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I'm quite good friends and I've known him for years with Johnny Ma's long time manager and really essentially a fucking business partner. I won't betray her confidence obviously, but needless to say, I'm not surprised that's happened. And what's really interesting is actually how far off the flywheel and how far down the rabbit hole Morrissey's actually gone, given that he's apparently annoyed and surprised that Johnny Marr doesn't want anything to do with him, given the shit that he comes
Starting point is 00:10:00 out with constantly. Because Morrissey also, I also feel like, and this is what happens with these types. Now, I don't know how you feel about this, because maybe you'll know more about this than me, but I was finding it hard to believe that Morrissey could have run out of money, because the Smiths made a load of money when you could make money out of music, and they probably get a lot of sinks for their music still now and everything. And he tours pretty extensively as well, doesn't he? He's constantly doing- Well, I don't think he's been
Starting point is 00:10:25 able to tour as much recently because of his genuinely appalling views. Right, surely he's one of those kind of like protected characters that you still see people go to Morrissey gigs, even the things he's said over the years. My God, like, I don't know, like you'd sort of see him doing like the Hollywood ball and stuff and people still go, don't they? I just think that... I don't know what it is. I think he is touring in the US at the moment, I think. But that's the only place he does tour. He doesn't really spend a lot of time here. Yeah. But I would just say that I don't know if he's got any money or not,
Starting point is 00:10:58 but the reason I'm saying that is because he has started to release statements like that have been designed to put pressure on Johnny Ma to do something again together, which to me, because he said that he's constantly accepted what he called that lucrative offers to reunite the Smiths and Johnny Ma said no. And then he's also done some pretty, what I think quite low stuff where he's talked about how oh well and don't forget we were first offered to rejoin us to reform the Smiths you know when Andy Rourke died last year he's one of the original members so we had we had you know we had chance to do it when Andy was still alive I think all this kind of crap he's basically trying to put he's basically an awful awful human being
Starting point is 00:11:41 in my view yeah of course but it's funny's funny that Johnny Marr's done that. I mean, it's funny because- Because you literally can't have the Smiths without him because he's a fucking singer. But could you not kind of like do it with, I don't know, Lily Allen or something? That would be so funny. Like-
Starting point is 00:12:00 If he just did it, he did it for a laugh. Yeah. Lincoln Parker would kind of done a similar thing, haven't they? Yeah, but I mean, she sounds like Chester Bennington. They've done a lovely job, to be fair. Oh, mate, like, have a listen to Crawling. It's a pretty good example of her sounding just like him. I think they've done a really, really good job.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Really, really clever stuff. Is she getting a lot of stick about it, though? Of course she is, because she's a woman and also, I think a Scientologist as well. Yeah, because she got a load of stick for supporting Danny Masterson originally, didn't she? I would say that like, there's something about the point that most metal or rock bands have about two absolute weirdos in the camp every time.
Starting point is 00:12:47 There's always a couple of absolute racists, there's always a couple of Scientologists, there's always a couple of people who are big Bitcoin guys and stuff. Big exceptions to that would be probably lost profits. Good point, Yeah, yeah. They only had one wrong. But going back to that Danny Masterson thing and the Scientology part of it, I don't know if you have a chance. I probably mentioned this to you before, but I was, because one
Starting point is 00:13:15 of the victims of Danny Masterson's crimes was the wife of Cedric Bixler from the app driver in Mars Volta. Right. OK. And he was basically constantly, and to be fair to him, it was actually pretty brave, given what they get up to, such as Scientology. He was constantly charting and recording everything that was happening to him and his wife
Starting point is 00:13:36 and his family while they were taking this on. Right, okay. And it got absolutely wild. Yeah. At one point, like he would at one point. Yeah. At one point, his dogs had been poisoned to death. Fucking hell. Yeah. So he came home and this is all Instagram.
Starting point is 00:13:53 He came home and his pet dog, I think he had two or three, had been given poisoned meat. And there'd be people constantly outside this house filming him. All the kind of tactics that usual kind of stuff you get from that. So It was crazy how much was going on so anyway so what's what's the latest with Lincoln Parkes? She's joined their touring again are they now? Yeah I think I think Chester Bunnick's son isn't necessarily happy about it but he sounds a bit troubled bless him as you imagine you would be if you lost your dad but yeah but you know the the choice of singer, the way that
Starting point is 00:14:27 she kind of hits, because she's got quite a gravelly voice and just a minute ago quite a high voice, so they've kind of met in the middle quite nicely. Really, really good stuff. Right, you were before, did you get tickets? I'm often, I was never a big Linkin Park fan, but their first, their breakout album was very good. The stuff with Jay-Z was good as well. That's all you're getting from me on Linkin Park I'm afraid. You're loving it, you're loving life Pete. Loving life, I just think it's so rare that a band gets it so right. Couldn't happen a
Starting point is 00:14:58 better time now Dave Grohl's on the shit list. Fuck yeah now that was funny. I know it's not funny, but it was funny. Yeah, of course it's funny. Because obviously knowing how the media works, it just absolutely dripped with the media who've got this, I need to get ahead of it quick. It was like, I'm doing this, I'll do it myself. Yeah, I'll do it myself. You're not having that story. Which I am sympathetic to, given that he's made a mistake, he's done
Starting point is 00:15:22 what he's done, I'm not judging that, you know, I'm not defending it or judging it. Just presenting it as a neutral kind of set of facts. But, but he's obviously made the calculation. There's no way these fucking tabloid wankers are making any money out of me for this. I'm gonna do it myself. And I kind of begrudgingly respect that. Oh yeah. I mean, you, you simply have to.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Some people would take an issue Pete with the idea, you know, oh yeah, but he's always traded on being the good guy in music kind of thing. But I was, I was kind of a bit more cynical about that. I was thinking, has he though? I mean, people have said that, but... Yeah, it's not really his fault that he's a quite normal man. Do you know what I mean? It's not his fault that he's charismatic and funny and you know, a bit of a goober.
Starting point is 00:15:58 I saw something on... I forget where it was now. It might have been Reddit, although maybe not, where someone was like, oh, you know, I know I'm not trying to denigrate this person's experience, but like they said, oh, you know, as a, you know, as a, as a woman who's enjoyed, you know, the food fighters music for 20 years plus, you know, I feel really let down by him. I'm like, you're being fucking serious, like fucking rock and roll star. What do you expect? But that's the naivety of people when it comes to, you know, the people who have literally followed their ego in every aspect of their entire existence to get to where they are,
Starting point is 00:16:35 to sell the tickets that they've sold and to make the money in the music that they've made. Like, they followed their ego, that's how they got there, they backed themselves and they're doing this now and that's what happens. That's how they got there. They backed themselves and they're doing this now and that's what happens. That is what happens. I would also go one step further than that. I totally agree with you, but I'll go one step further and say, in the absence of obviously genuinely criminal and problematic, coercive, controlling, unacceptable behaviour, in the absence of that, if you are going to get involved
Starting point is 00:17:03 with someone of that kind of profession, there's an element to it where you lie down with dogs and you get fleas. Do you know what I mean? For example, I'd say this to my wife, if you were going to get married a podcaster, your life's going to be boring. Don't complain about how boring it is and how poor we are all the time. You're my... It's hard to have an affair over Zoom. It really is. You and I have managed it. It's difficult.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Haven't we? Exactly. With each other for years now. We've paused each other erotica. Erotic dog. And naked photos and videos as we've already talked about. Naked photos and videos, yeah, exactly. You know what?
Starting point is 00:17:37 We talked about that on Monday and the one thing I forgot to say was, I'm not going to give the detail because people are going to ask for it otherwise and you're not going to remember so I'm doing this very carefully. We went away once together with other people and you took a photo of me completely Billy Bollocks without my permission. That was not the opposite, I was literally, you were in, I presume it was the one where we were all naked, me, you and I think Jim was as well, and we were just, it was in the bathroom. And oh it's fair and love and war, I didn't ask anyone to take any videos or pictures of me, but you got them haven't you? You somehow got them.
Starting point is 00:18:16 No but we had already established last Monday that you voluntarily got completely naked in the studio a few years ago. Kvorting her out, yeah but I didn't turn the cameras on, you just happened to have, you just got your phone out and started snapping away. You were like Mr Paparazzi. Officer, I simply didn't know the five broadcast cameras which I helped install were turned on. They would not have been turned on because that's on a network drive. You were always talking to me about backups. I would never have allowed that to happen.
Starting point is 00:18:44 I've never wanted allowed that to happen. I've never wanted someone to back up more in my life. Alright, let's have a break. When we come back we'll do batteries. We'll get back onto safer ground, then we'll do batteries and we'll make sure that the battery daddy is fully fed and replenished. Our battery daddy overlord that needs a sacrifice at least once a week, she must be fed. True. True that. The Women's Super League is back. And it's going to be one of the spiciest seasons in years as the league's top sides go through
Starting point is 00:19:15 their own periods of transition. How will Chelsea get on in their first campaign with that legendary manager Emma Hayes? Can any of the chasing pack challenge the big guns? Liverpool, Spurs, we're looking at you. Viv Midamar has joined Manchester City from Arsenal. Can her revenge tour help City land their second WSL title? On the other side of Manchester, United have had a chaotic summer off the pitch. What a surprise.
Starting point is 00:19:41 And this is all against the backdrop of another Euros next summer where England will defend their crown against Europe's best. Join me, Rachel O'Sullivan.

Oh, I miss the days of pig milk to be quite frank. It's the Look at Pete show and we are doing all things batteries. Greetings from beautiful White Rock in British Columbia.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Sean has got in touch. May I present to you four battery brands that are found in children's toys with air conditioner remotes. How is he doing four? Four battery brands. Is it two in each compartment? I think we have to, I think me, you and Taylor, is it 2 in each compartment? I think me, you and producer Taylor have to get our heads together and say look you're
Starting point is 00:20:28 going to need to select one. That's a good point actually, I think we did say. Peter, I'm looking at this email now, we've got pair deer and beck sales, it's a waste of time. Right, well I'm deleting, from the shared document, I'm deleting that picture of a beck sale, I'm deleting that picture of a pair deer, there is that picture of a pair dear there is no way either of those are gonna get into the battery daddy because you had them so many times but we appreciate the correspondence but surely we're wasting everyone's time with that yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:20:53 well they have come in with CT guantacel go want to sell which might be a new play I don't have ever heard that one before and also an Andali alkaline let's start with the CT guantacel so So the CT guantacil you are the 10th person to send those in. That's a shame. Sure I'm afraid. Not a terrible result but not what you wanted. No. And for the Andali alkaline you are the 8th person to send those in. We first saw an Andali alkaline in I think October of 2021. I see. We've been around for a long while after Megan sent those in first in 2021. So you're not
Starting point is 00:21:37 close there but I mean you know try again, do try again. Do please try again for crying out loud. Alright, next up is Andrew. Hello there Luke and the Pete. I found these babies at the school that I work in, in Japan. At first sight it appears that they're just called alkaline batteries, but the actual brand is written in Japanese, Mono Taro. If Pete wants to test it in Japanese. I mean I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Tabemono means food, so mono, and noemono presumably means drink, so I think it just means something taroo not not a clue either way it is a company that's headquartered in Osaka in Osaka prefecture so it means satisfied satisfied okay just I've just Google translated it I think it's a so maintenance repair and operations of production facilities the MRNO in the in the name and it also comes from the meaning of sufficiency or to be sufficient and Momo Tarot which represents the eradication of opaque business practices so it's a company
Starting point is 00:22:41 that seeks to be open with their batteries. Yes, very, very thoughtful. Very, very thoughtful. Anyway, Andrew in Japan, thank you for getting in touch. I'm delighted to tell you that that is a brand new player. It's good stuff. The battery that they shall be fed. Oh, I love it. I bloody love it. Andrew, thank you for getting in touch. Working at a Japanese school is interesting, he says.
Starting point is 00:23:00 There is no system for detention or suspension. Students can choose to not even short for three years and still given the opportunity to graduate. Imagine if we'd been given that. Yeah, but I mean out there it's all about you know not embarrassing yourself and you know the nail that sticks up gets hammered down hard and stuff. So I imagine there's like this kind of like collective need to show up to school and have a miserable time because bullying is rife out there. Many of my students abuse this and really got hammered as there's no system in place for behaviour
Starting point is 00:23:31 management. Also just something interesting a student asked me today Andrew-sensei why are you foreign? I think at that point Andrew from Japan a hard strike around the face would be sufficient I think. I don't think you can recommend that I mean zombie knives and hitting kids is what you're doing these days is it? Yeah it's been a strong record hasn't it? Yeah because of the eggs hasn't it? I've gone absolutely feral haven't I? Unbelievable but thank you for the great picture as well lovely I don't know what's in the back there There's some sort of there's a tantalizing, Panasonic sort of yellow mustard machine behind
Starting point is 00:24:12 Andrew's picture. And I want to know what it is. It just feels quintessentially Japanese. It's probably just a kettle or something. All right. Finally, for now, Paul, I enjoyed the fact that just before we started recording, producer Taylor panicked that she'd only put two battery brands in there so I think this was added quite quite late on so let's hope that Paul's got this one. Sawadee crap boys, goodness.
Starting point is 00:24:35 First time emailer and Luke and Pete Summer OG, just want to say a sincere thanks for keeping me sane during the Covid years. The Covid years. And keeping me in touch with my UK roots after nine years out the country and five years living in Thailand. I've got a couple of battery submissions for you. Daily Max pretty sure that one's been had before sticking in there anyway we're not doing that all right fine but super confident with my second entry Vonico. Photos attached below keep me fighting the good fight best regards Paul. Vonico. Yeah Yep. Voneko is a brand new player.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Brand new player. Congratulations to you Paul. Congratulations Paul and thanks for listening from the very beginning. You've just thoroughly sicked the site of us. They also said that, that's be fair they all say that. What they also said that they're thanks for the, what are we being buttered up? Well I just think that you know. They're all batteries being buttered up so they're getting the battery daddy smoother is that right? Yeah maybe everyone's saying that they've been buttered up, so they're getting the Battery Daddy smoother. Is that right? Yeah, maybe. Everyone's saying that they've been listening since the very start, but we know how many listeners we didn't have at the very start, so it can't be all true. You reckon that, right.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Okay, fair, fair. I just, that's great. Two new entries into the Battery Daddy, which is always pleasing. Before we go, I want to do an email following up on the question of coriander. We didn't follow up on that. Do you remember that, Peter? Do you want me to remind you? I do remember, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:47 The soap versus non-soapy debate. Yeah, you've not solved that problem yourself yet because presumably you haven't done the decent thing and gone out and bought some coriander and eaten it. No, no. This might- Well, I'm sure I've eaten some coriander at some point during the last week.
Starting point is 00:26:00 I had a McDonald's salad. Is that called coriander in it? No, no, it's got a funny- Who gets a salad from McDonald's? Well you know what, I was having a there was this Philly cheesesteak monstrosity that they had for sale. Which I didn't mind, but I thought you know what, I'm not going to have fries,
Starting point is 00:26:14 I'm going to have one of those salads. I've never had a salad. And because I was driving, I was eating the salad in bits. But I had, because it's not on my egg and I've got a free hand, I had the massive serving of dressing, like balsamic dressing, so I was just sucking on this balsamic packet and eating a
Starting point is 00:26:36 cucumber and a bit of salad. It really does work though. As you know, out of all of the things that are on sale in McDonald's, eating a salad and drinking from a packet of vinegar is... While driving. It's an... while driving, it's an easy thing to do. You're going to get sectioned if you get caught doing that. Run up my ribs. There you go. It's probably not even a crime.
Starting point is 00:26:58 I'm just going to send you straight to the hospital. It would be funny if I get if I crashed and then just vomited black balsamic sauce all over the windscreen. Well that's on Solve Mysteries episodes. He's crashed his car on his own in the middle of nowhere. He died and emitted some kind of weird vinegar. And he's covered in balsamic vinegar. Anyway, so Stanley's been in touch.
Starting point is 00:27:22 He's actually signed the email off Stanley, not Stan, Stanley. I respect that. He said, he wants to follow up on the coriander thing. He says, look, just a quick one. In response to your coriander chat the other week and how for some people it tastes like soap. Well, for me, I find it tastes like bugs. When I was very little, I distinctly remember a little green bug flying into my mouth, which I now know to be some sort of aphid or green fly as they're called and now whenever I eat Coriander all I can taste is that green bug am I alone in this or does anyone else have this strange experience? Keep up the good work kind regards Stanley. So that's an interesting take
Starting point is 00:27:59 I would just add the following I would say that the other day I was cycling my bike, or the lime bike, because I'm a lime lad, through Brockwell Park and I was chewing gum and I was popping the gum as I was chewing it. And as I popped the gum... What an oik! What a bloody oik! I don't know. There's nothing around, I'm just enjoying myself. As I...
Starting point is 00:28:19 You're wearing a leather jacket as well? Yeah, big time. No word of a lie, as I popped the chewing gum, a massive fly flew into the chewing gum and stuck in the chewing gum. Yes, in your mouth and you chomped on it. No, I didn't chomp it, I noticed it instantly because it was a big fly. I took the chewing gum out and I had the fly in the chewing gum. Right, okay. And I chucked it in the bin. Nice.
Starting point is 00:28:41 So, it's very similar to Stanley's experience, but if anyone else out there has got coriander in their mind tasting of something else. I think the interesting part of this is the relationship between the kind of receptors in your brain and the taste. Because I remember, you know, we did an experiment at school or something once where they would give you jelly and it would be green, but they'd say it's straw, but they say, what flavour is it? And you taste it and you go, oh, that's like apple or something, but it was straw. Because it was green, your mind, your eyes and your mind were making the association.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Were they testing on you? I think it was just a part of a science experiment or whatever. Right, okay. It wasn't part of the fucking, you know, it wasn't part of the fucking CIA's fucking mind altering experience, it was just at school. Did you have a button that could torture somebody? Yeah and I pressed it as much as I could and that's how you and I met. I've just had a terrible realisation that I've been sort of saying that my glasses make me look like Ron Mayall out of Sparks. Yeah I can see that. But I've just
Starting point is 00:29:35 realised probably a more accurate thing is that I looked rather like Butch Vig of the band Garbage. Yes I can see that as well. What's wrong with that? They're never handsome men are they? I just had a real kind of like, oh I know how I look like. I look like Butch Fig. I've got Butch Fig's hair as well. Terrible. Butch Fig's hair is slightly longer usually isn't it? You've got the same glasses and the same mustache. I loved Garbage back in the day. They were great. Did he also produce in Utero? Yes he did. Yeah yeah yeah. That's not a bad Did anybody's never mind it was never my one there who did you neutral then I don't mind to know right?
Starting point is 00:30:13 Maybe you did both. I'm actually gonna look it up. Why not? He did Yeah, he did never mind right I don't a different direction I don't think he did, never mind. Right. They went a different direction. I don't think he did in Uttara. I think they didn't, it was, I can't remember now, didn't they? They had their pick of producers, didn't they? Obviously they did. There were people screaming right now saying it was this person that did it. Steve Albini, of course it was.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Steve Albini. Right, okay. The late great Steve Albini, by the way, he's gone. Yes, he was a true one-off, a strange man. Refused to be paid. In the best kind of way. I presume he's got kids and I presume they're fucking furious. It's funny isn't it because he's punk rock and he's a guy and he's a genius and all
Starting point is 00:30:56 this rest of it and he's been so successful and he refuses to be paid. But there's very few people in that industry that talk the talk and walk the walk. Think of the influence he's had though, the amount of people who've tried to be like Steve Albini and now homeless We should we should bid everyone farewell Peter to take us out of here mate fuck you pay me run out my ribs This is be the look of Pete show.
