I'm the main one. Go on then. Do the intro. Go on. Go on. Hello everyone and welcome to... You're doing a Robocere Starmer voice for some reason. It's the Luke and Pete show. Welcome to the Luke and Pete show. I cajoled Luke into doing the intro because he was having a right old whine time. White Luke question time, white whine, whining. Um, whining away because he was upset that he didn't do the intro. Let's say white Luke question time it's quite a different show that. Why are you so white to be fair of all of the white people you are probably the whitest. I am very very we're just talking about that I've actually got a little bit of colour in my face because I was out in the sun all day yesterday I actually put sun cream on yesterday. Did you yeah

I don't I got absolutely blindsided by this fine thread of English weather we've been having. Fake Spring it's called. It's what? Fake Spring isn't it? It's Fake Spring, yeah. Three days time it'll be freezing again. Nobody ever talked about Fake Spring until last year. Now that's all anyone talks about

is the Fake Spring. I didn't realise it was a thing. There are two springs in this world, Hope's Springing Eternal and the fake spring, that's it. That is it. Would you say you've lost all hope? I think you know I'm a bit of a pessimist. I'm Star Wars Episode 1, and you Hope. Star Wars Donaldson 1. That's Episode 4, by the way.

Otherwise people are going to get a roll up. Call you out. People get caught. People call other people out about Star Wars. There's one thing I know about Star Wars is that people like to correct other people about it and wrestling and wrestling and football. Oh, yeah. Do you want to hear how how obnoxious and annoying I am as a spouse? My wife absolutely loves Lord of the Rings, right? She loves the books, loves the movies. She's a completist about it. She will

watch all of them in a row on a day off, right? She loves it. So what I then did is I got my best friend surreptitiously to, this is quite the operation, in social events, conversations, and like WhatsApp group chats and stuff, to intentionally, but very subtly, get things wrong about Lord of the Rings to see how often she would correct him about it. And this went on for ages. So he would like do a quote from Lord of the Rings or something but he'd get like one part of one of the names of the characters wrong. Right. Now would now, I think this could go either way. I think you could be startled slash surprised about how little she cares about getting the upper hand on someone about Lord of the Rings despite her intense love of it or she could do it every single time without Phil.

Yeah so at one point my friend on purpose called Maryadoc Brandybuck, Mary Wine Brandybuck. Absolute dog shit. I mean it's just nice. I mean that is dog shit. She could not resist it and then what we did is we started ramping them up and getting them more and more ridiculous and to the point where you know when Gandalf does, you shall not pass. He did a big video with a stick in the woods and he was like, he was going in the Gandalf voice, which was quite well, he was just going, you are not welcome here. Really obvious. Good, good.

Yeah. It just passes the time, doesn't it? It does pass the time. Until death's sweet release. So did you correct him at any point? Yeah, she started to get steadily more and more angry about it. Stopped getting Bond wrong and then got all the orange juice in her. And then, just on a slightly related note to that,

this morning I was dealt quite a savage blow because I logged into YouTube just to see what was going on, see what video I could watch to pass the time on the way into work. Before the information sweet release. Yeah. And guess what the algorithm served me up? I'm just going to read the title of the video and this was served up to me from what we are led to believe is a very advanced and accurate algorithm. The video I got served up next and my up next was, and I'm just going to read the title now Peter, Bill Oddie on Jimmy Savile. Just an interview of Bill Oddie

sitting on a picnic bench talking about Jimmy Savile. Well the problem is men of our age are obsessed with pedophiles. It's either laughing at the mania of pedophiles or being so right-wing that you think everyone's a pedophile. I got served up Watkins on Never Mind the Buscocks laughing at someone else being called a pedophile. So today, so maybe it's... You always make me feel better. You always make me feel better. Maybe it's paedophile Monday. You listen to Lost Profits famously. Not famously or ever. I just, I think I might have just said that to make a silly point. I'm looking at my, I'm looking at my, good God, yeah that is, I'm looking at my front page for YouTube right now it goes from some AEW video about wrestling then two men

reviewing electric vehicles for YouTube some kind of AI new product that people are talking about Alien Ant Farm doing their song The Movies. Oh brilliant song, it's a brilliant song with a brilliant video. Absolutely a banger. And tribal people react to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time. Do they like it? I mean he's sort of, he's got all of the garb, I don't know the word of the, I don't know the name of the non-religious clothing but he's got all the garb. I don't know the word of the, I don't know the name of the non-religious clothing, but he's got all the garb like he's been in the desert. Do they like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Peter?

Well, I don't know. Tell us next time. I'll tell you next time. Speaking of Queen, I've got a finite anecdote about Queen. My friend was a record engineer. Yeah. He had loads of different records. Actually quite famous ones, but I won't say what they are because I don't want to give them away. And he said that he once did a project with a couple of members of Queen. This is post Freddie Mercury's sad demise. And the studio he worked at, it was very small boutique studio and reception was right next to the kind of

area where you're working and people always coming in and out and stuff and he said every single day without fail Roger Taylor would come in and ask at the desk at the receptionist can I speak to can I go and see so and so it's Roger Taylor from Queen. I'd say he'd refer to himself every single day. Well that's alright though isn't it? Yeah but it's very endearing isn't it? It's a very generic name Roger Taylor as well. I suppose.

You've probably got a Roger Taylor in your phone. I was looking at my phone over the weekend and I've got Rob Brydon's number. I didn't know I had that. Oh nice. I might give him a call. Didn't you used to have Manny Pacquiao's number? I did because I found a phone in the back of a car. But I presume Manny Pacquiao, he's probably... I used to text him on the eve of big fights and say,

Good luck Manny. And then, do you want to tone down all that? Would they ever get delivered? Homophobia. I don't know, it was on the iPhone system so God knows. But hopefully it ended up somewhere. The only Taylor I've got on my phone is one of my all-time heroes, Matt Taylor. That's good stuff. Who have I got on the phone? Taylor. I've got Taylor, a guy called Sam

Taylor I know. Taylor from Taylor and Bestie, Newcastle United. Producer Taylor. Producer Taylor, yeah that's a different spelling though. You can't have that, you simply can't have that. So you would text Manny Pacquiao, you don't even like boxing that much do you? No, I don't understand it. So you just, well it's not complicated. It's not like batgammon. No, but I just don't understand how you can get so... it's like looking at something for, it's like when people like Brassil and Jonathan Wilson look at the football, they're watching a completely different thing than me. They're seeing shapes and colours that I'm not. What are you seeing?

I'm seeing that little dog that runs on the advertising, and advertises insurance. That's what I'm seeing. Adverts for Monster Energy drink. A man brushing his teeth. All that. All that Italian. Hey, look, either way it's the global game that we all enjoy. I went to a gig on Friday night. Boxer Rebellion. It was good. I really enjoyed it. They are bloody good, the Boxer Rebellion, and it's not a band that I knew all that much of back in the day, but about two years ago I started listening to them. They're bloody good.

Yeah, it's really good. It's at Coco in North London. Anyway, I was with a friend, and after a while I realised the friend I was with was talking to someone else. This was before the gig started, it was in the venue. And that person happened to be Dom Jolly. Dom Jolly. Who is very tall? We always have this conversation. I can never remember because I'm quite tall. He's like one of those big, big, tall, broad men. I think he's probably, yeah, he's pretty about my height.

Anyway, he's doing overnights on LBC now. Yeah you got a chilling portent to the future for us. You can get it I suppose. Very nice though, very nice man. Yeah I think with those kind of stations if you can and I you know put you in this in these parenthesis parenthesis in these inverted commas. The person who can talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and has references, remembers things and stuff, to have that sort of skill base. Yeah, it's frustrating isn't it, because I'm convinced if I was naturally very right wing I'd be fucking a millionaire. They would all, you can have non-right wing, you can have normal people on LBC can't you?

Yeah but no, listen. no one listens to them. You're not getting the following are you? There's one left wing one and he gets a bit of social every now and again but they're mainly quite right wing aren't they? That's the thing, that's the struggle being normal because you're not shouting about bots and fucking shit. That's my big effort. Like good stuff is never, like normal, treating people normally is never gonna be as compulsive

as a hotel full of asylum seekers. It just isn't as sexy. It's not as visceral, is it? No, it's not. No, arguing quite fervently that, you know, women deserve to be paid the same as men is not grabbing people the same way as like saying you wanna kill people who aren't from Britain.

No. Do you know what I mean? It's not, but in years to come when the world's ended, the Western democracy has completely collapsed, no civilisation anymore, and my son looks up to me and says, what did you do? I'll say, son, I could have sold out my principles and gone really right wing and made us a load of money, but I didn't and that's my contribution. I very much enjoy, for some reason again, the algorithm for my age and you know, sexuality. Yeah, throw that in as well. I don't think of you as a particularly sexual person though.

No, it's my business. It's all my business. You like to masturbate. On the Luca Pete show, will you not bring this down to the gutter please? Sorry. Speaking of masturbating, a right-wing mouthpiece has been gone on Twitter and that. Darren Grimes. Oh yeah. The Archmasturbator. What does he have a little shuffle to do? What's he known for? I can't remember but I think somebody either said that he wanked a lot or he said that he didn't wank a lot and they said that he did wank. It was something like that but anyway he was I don't know why he's known as the arch master better of Twitter but he is and let's face it he looks like it and he posted a picture of a lad who'd climbed up the Tower Bridge which obviously we had someone climbing up Big

Ben yesterday and then now someone's climbed up Tower Bridge I don't know what the Tower Bridge man's all system is all about but the Big Ben man was was a free Palestine guy now Darren Grimes wrote yesterday the Big Ben man was a free Palestine guy. Now Darren Grimes wrote, yesterday at Big Ben, today Tower Bridge shut down. It's almost like offering biscuits, drinks and blankets. Don't encourage people to get down. Garners great attention for them and galvanises others to make simple, similar attention-seeking climbing frame acts on public monuments. Now Darren, what would you have anyone do? Shoot them off Big Ben?

Shoot them off the bridge? How would you get someone down who didn't want to come down? Like... No exactly, I think we should also have a proper moratorium and preferably a banning of any... Darren Grimes? No, of any, well, of any like severely right-wing figure that isn't hard, at least be hard. Yeah, at least be hard. At least for Joe Rogan or like Conor McGregor or whatever, it just pound you. Yeah.

Right, it back it up. Yeah. And then you've got to have a begrudging type of very primal respect for that. Even the Infowars man, even though he's lost a bit of heft, he could probably go some. Who's that? Alex Jones. Alex Jones could probably go. Yeah, he's a lot of man packed into a small space. Yeah, go some Alex Jones. Alex Jones will probably go. Yeah.

He's a lot of man packed into a small space. Yeah, exactly. That's a good, good example. But Darren Grimes looks like he looks like he couldn't even pick up a feather duster. Hmm. You know what I mean? Yeah.

And so I think, I think it's, I think it's a little bit rich for him to be talking tough. Yeah. About people on public buildings. But when, when you talked about Darren Grimes being the, whatever you said about him, in Masturbation, I was put in mind of, do you remember the character Harvey Denton in League of Gentlemen? Not really. So he's played by Steve Pemberton and he has Rees Shearsmith over to stay in, it's like

a really weird family. Oh right, okay, well you do a wee in that you do, he's got rules about solids and stuff. Yeah, yeah, and then they drink their own piss and they've got frogs in, they collect frogs. And he always used to do an amazing series of euphemisms from masturbation. Because he would always say, the joke would be that when the guy came to stay, the normal guy, he'd say, there's certain things that are banned and it'd always be, you're not having a wank in my house. But he would come up with more and more ridiculous ways of saying it. So he would say, no indulging yourself in the pleasures of the palm. No conducting yourself in the solo symphony.

No shaking of hot white coconuts from the veiny love tree. And it always reminds me of that. That is solid. That is absolutely solid. Great stuff. Anyway, yeah, Darren Grimes, come on. Come on. I don't know who is, I don't know who is his kind of audience. Get swole or shut your hole, Grimes. What's his base, Pete? What's his base? I don't think he really has one, to be honest. I don't think any...

I reckon he's a Russian asset. Because his base would... I mean they all were, weren't they? They all did little pieces here and there. If you watch... If you say to me, no matter how horrific the right-wing media figure is, I can tell you the base who they are. It makes it... Alex Jones, I know who the people are listening to him.

I know who they are. Darren Grimes, what's anyone getting out of that? I think he's trying to be part of it, wasn't he? He tried to get on. Didn't he try and get on GB News and they just... He did get on GB News for a while, he just quit, but he was a Lib Dem before that, wasn't he? Yeah, I just think he's kind of... I very much enjoy on the algorithm the... For some reason every time I wake up, probably because I click on it every time to have a look at the comments. The old Russell

Brand stuff on Facebook, who's clearly... Certain things have happened in his life. He's decided his best way of staying out of trouble, let's say, is to go full Maga Trump and quite religious. And Christian and conspiracy theorists. Yeah, as a side hustle and a side dish. And yeah, so his thing about, you know, very pro-Trump, very anti, this morning was just untrue at all. And every last, I mean, clearly doesn't do, nobody does, maybe he just hasn't got anyone kicking around or he can't afford them to manage all of the comments and stuff. But it's like... He's comments and stuff. He's made his dough.

He's made his dough but I mean it's still an amount of money and I think when you've done such a vault fast there are certain people who won't want to work with you perhaps and so like his kind of cult of personality has changed into him just going I'm just going to do this forever because it might keep me out of trouble. But yeah, all of his comments is like, there's not a single positive comment. There's like 300 comments underneath a video of him doing an anti Trudeau thing and a pro Donald Trump thing. And it was like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

And everyone's going, you fucking sell out, you fucking sell out. You fucking. What do you reckon it means, though? What do you reckon it means? Well, what does that mean as it pertains to him though? Well I'm sure it doesn't matter but it's just interesting to see that he doesn't manage his comments or his kind of... if you were kind of someone coming to him sort of new... Oh so what you're saying is you would delete them and bump the good ones and stuff? Yeah if you sort of came to his product a new and a fresh. Is that what you guys

did when I got this mustache and everyone was really positive about it? Did you get rid of all the other shit ones? To be honest it's not even, it's a proactive AI filter we just typed the word mustache and just so I don't hear good things about mine either so nobody gets to enjoy their mustache. I wonder where it all ends for Brand because my feeling is that he is clearly acting, because obviously it's no coincidence that he branched into acting and had some moderate success as an actor. He must be acting now. I get the impression with Brand, obviously, I mean, look, I'm not defending anything he's done because he's obviously a truly awful figure, but one-on-one, no cameras around, just chatting

to him. He seems like he'd be fairly like, articulate and intelligent and normal, but he's obviously taken the chance. So what I'm trying to say is it's not like people who've just been completely deluded into some weird cult and they don't know. This is a very studied conscious decision to do this, right? And when he's talking about that Oxfordshire town he lives in, he's probably not like that. Well, he's moved wholesale to Florida now. Oh, Florida? Oh, surprising. And so this is clearly a calculated move to avoid certain things that may or may not be happening in America, but you can't avoid the long arm of the law in the UK. So it is going to be, I think it's kind of,

so there's that prison, but then there's also the, you know, having to represent Donald Trump in a sort of proto kind of thoughtful way, trying to sort of justify in a kind of thoughtful and clever way. And he's not really, and imagine having to do that every morning. Imagine having to sort of contort yourself. I mean, stupid people can contort themselves into whatever situation. He's clearly not stupid. He's clearly got a wide lexicon and knows how to entertain his people and his fan base. But imagine doing this vault fast, eat the world's most amount of shit every single morning and do the sort of mental gymnastics of representing Donald Trump in a positive light it's amazing yeah and having to live in Florida my body is a cage that keeps me dancing with the one I love or from

dancing is it I don't know the arcade fire I could fire yeah I've a lesser a break we'll do some emails I suppose all right then FandDuel Casino's exclusive Live Dealer studio has your chance at the number one feeling, winning, which beats even the 27th best feeling, saying I do.

The thatching of houses. We did talk about thatchingching have we had any messages about thatching? No. No, not a single one. I just remember that that had happened. That has happened does it? What about this? This is a really important and pertinent question from

our friend Mikey. Hello Mikey. Okay. Thanks for getting in touch. He would have emailed hello at lukeandpeacher.com to get this email through. And Jesus, we're reading it now. The system works. The system works for some. Use it. Yeah, for some. Those who email that message to that. Yeah, those are the ones that we can get around to reading.

Mikey says, oh guys, as a keen listener of The Rambler and Luke and Peacher for almost a decade, a question struck me the other day. Now that you're both fathers, have either of you used the infamous infant chip bowl helmet that Pete painted about 10 years ago? If so, how did it go? Was it the convenient time saver that Pete envisioned or was it pure chaos that led to spills and stains? Congratulations to you both on becoming fathers Mikey. So Peter, do you want to give people the kind of the back story to that? In a fit of peak about seven years ago, I came up with a design for an infant chip bowl

helmet, ball of chips and dip that is in a crash helmet, a top of crash helmet that you put on a child so that when the child is sitting in your lap watching cartoons you can feast upon their head with crisps and dip, whatever you want really, guacamole, salsa, it's up to you. What would you recommend though as the inventor? I'd go for guac to be honest, I'd go for guac. Maybe some of those kind of puffed rice snacks you see around. I like them. The salt and vinegar ones. Yeah, I don't mind those. And the patent was refused or it would have been done?

I think they needed more. It's registered as being applied for, but they said they needed more information. With patent pending. Patent pending basically. I did see one for sale. Remember we saw one for sale a while back. Yeah so clearly they... It was a shape of an American football helmet. But you can't guarantee that they would have painted that, it was Peyton and that apart

from me. True, that's true, you should challenge it. Yeah exactly, so I have, I would say if I was going to have my time again with Peyton for the Infant Ship Bowl helmet, I probably wouldn't bother because good God, those kids' heads are wobbly and those kids head move and they rotate and... My son would have absolutely no use for that, he would have not sit still for five seconds. Maybe, you know, if your child was asleep or drugged, fine, absolutely fine. If you'd gone overboard on the old Calpol, fucking crack on, get the helmet out.

It's funny how much more relaxed you are about saying these types of things now that everything's taken care of, isn't it? Correct. Your child is drugged or overdosed in Calpol. Didn't say my child. I'm not going to drug my child. I'm actually very restrictive about the old baby neuro-fen and stuff. I'm going, I am a man who at the drop of the tiniest owie, I am taking five paramoles, you know, that's your, your codeine, your paracetamols, I'll fucking take anything, I'm a fucking monster. But with the Ben, I'm like, nah, they don't

need it. Unless they have genuinely got the old toothy problems, they don't have it. They don't have it. You can rely upon it. I think so, I think people use it as a bit of a sleepy sleep you go to sleep sort of thing. Now, but if you're talking about cow pol specifically, there's no salitive element to it. It would help them with the pain probably. Which would in turn help them sleep. Does that answer Mikey's question?

Do you think we just think it's no longer practical? It was an invention for another time. It was an invention for someone who hadn't ever experienced a child's love. Yeah, exactly. I liked it as an idea though. What about this then from Nick, also on the theme of things you've done before, Peter? Greetings from Southern California. At the risk of cross-pollinating

shows I was listening to an old football ramble because it's been a slow work week and the cleverly named episode, Premier League preview show 9th of September 2016. Got a good ring to it that. It's just, I mean why, I just always start to think why are we bothering with the old dynamic ads? So you can listen to a show from back in 2016 for example and you could hear an advert that was released only last week. It's this unique way that, you know, it's a good way to do it. But who's listening to all rambles? Turns out it's this guy. This fucking guy is. He said, I heard an amazing bit on there that I thought would be great

fodder for the Luke and Pete show. He says, to summarise, and I'll be totally honest with you, Nick, the chances of me or Pete going all the way back to 2016 to find an episode of The Ramble is nil. So thanks for summarising. I didn't know I'd find it. Yeah. He says, to summarise, so he's done it for us, Luke reads out a questionnaire that Pete filled out for school when he was eight years old. Oh. I don't remember that. Do you remember that?

On the Ramble? Listing his likes, dislikes and skills. Oh yeah, I think it was like, I don't like my sister. Well, I'm going to tell you what it was. I like Chinese food or fish and chips or something. The highlight, wait, when you're eight years old, you like Chinese food when you're eight years old? You like it now.

Like it now. The highlights include, for Pete's's likes he simply listed action. I like action. You like action. Well that's not changed does it? You like Hartlepool's eight year old John McClane. And for things you are good at you listed handling gerbils. It's good but I mean still great at it. You never forget it, you never lose it. Nick signs off by saying it's an amazing piece of football punditry. I mean I will point his attention to a show we recorded this morning in which we said that Frank Clark was... About 10 minutes on Frank Clark being a canal-dwelling pervert.

It's disrespectful to him really. He's gonna die at some point. Marcus said to me in the toilet after he said, ah, meh. That's a bit harsh. Marcus worries about the weirdest things. It's Frankie Clark, he's an institution. I think when you're that famous and that kind of... You're like someone's dad or uncle or granddad or something like it's when

you've got your part of the psyche I think you can have fun with it can be a cultural touchstone a comedic touchstone for people I thought it was fine I thought it's fair comment he did do all those things no I'm not saying that I think it's it's fair comment is fair comment and I think one of the things that the Rambo is best known for is not... I mean, he's basically begrudgingly talking about football, I'd say. Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah. I mean, when was the last time you handled a gerbil?

I've not handled a gerbil since I was about that age, to be honest. What were you doing handling it? Was it your own gerbil? Yeah, we had a whole gerbilarium going on. What were they called? Well, We'd start with Vic and Bob. We liked Vic and Bob but then I can't remember the rest of the names but they were I mean they did start to multiply after a couple of them got misgendered and turns out babies. I've seen them before, my dad got the old, what's that stuff when you put a rag over someone's face and they pass out?

Chloroform. Chloroform, you got chloroform from Pathlab and murdered all the babies because we couldn't get rid of them. You said that story in such a tone which has really brought everything down. Yeah. Is that a crime? When does it become a crime? If you do it with a smile on your face.

If you say this is very sad. Yeah, you get away with it. You know, it's like, I don't know. I don't know, like doing, like giving someone a foul tattoo. If you sort of go, I'm getting paid for this. You've paid me money to do this. You guys normally ask for it, haven't you? No, don't be a jerk and for it, haven't they? No.

Don't think the gerbil say, can you please kill us? No, but it wasn't, it was untenable. We couldn't have 50 gerbils. I know someone who's a father who, um, his son and daughter had a hamster and the hamster was obviously in some kind of distress. So the son and daughter wanted him to take it to the vet. So he's like, okay, let's take it to the vet. And they all went together. And the mum went as well. And to cut a long story short, the vet said, you know, we'll do some tests.

What do you want me to do with this? No, but she said, we'll do our thing. We'll do our best for the hamster and stuff. And he took dad aside. He took dad aside for a quiet word. No, the dad got more and more annoyed about the bills racking up for a hamster. And said, by his own admission, because he had got angry, in front of his kids, he said the words, with the best will in the world, just slot it. Just slot it?

Yeah, which is like a slang for killing it. Right, okay. And he was telling me this story and he couldn't understand why all hell had broken loose in the family and stuff. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, don't sit in front of the family. Just have a word with a vet. Yeah, do your tests. Died in the tests. Bye bye. You know what I mean? Can you put that on the form? Died in the tests. Bye bye. I don't think so. We shouldn't be glorying in animals being killed. No! Peter, we shouldn't. We're not glorying yet are we? It's a miserable situation for Dad. He's out of pocket. All of those tests would have cost... A gerbil used to be like 40p. Like they weren't expensive. Why is that so dismissive of a gerbil? You put the full repeat tag on his head. Gerbils were really cheap in Hartlepool, you could get three for

a pound. I think one of them did have an infected nose at one point because it got its teeth hooked over the top of the bars and we had to get some cream for it and stuff and that was a big brouhaha and that was like six quid for the blooming for the juice to put on the gerbil Gerbil juice.
