Starting point is 00:00:00 oh back once again it's thursday and it is the luke and pete show i do hope you are faring well pete donaldson with you joined by luke mo what's going on luke holla i'm all right what's going on yeah i'm not too bad i'm a bit fucking bored of all this lockdown nonsense but no one wants to hear that we're barely into it are we barely into it oh we're getting the rumor mills really cranking up though my dad's sending me messages saying that uh his mate was up for the vaccine it was a little bit older than him uh but um and he went and the doctor said or the nurse said oh yeah we've uh we've got loads of vaccines but uh a lot of people aren't turning up for their uh for their appointments
Starting point is 00:00:40 so we're having to go in the hospitals and start and vaccinate the nurses instead and it's just like oh it all begins tonight all the little kind of like daft little stories about people not taking advantage of the vaccinations it all begins i was on the way to get a vaccination the other day and uh on the way i stopped at a water park and i noticed it on the water park flume there were loads of razor blades in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't happen, can it? I was hanging out with Lord Lucan. Give new listeners of the show a flavour of what it's all about
Starting point is 00:01:15 and what they can expect over the next half an hour, Peter. Well, I mean, it's mainly film, video game reviews, and just dick jokes, really, isn't it? It's just dirty stories stories people smearing poo on the on the wall floor yeah eating poo waiting would they be interested to hear that perhaps on monday we had a season you know pretty seasoned debate about the most perverted country yeah well look and i think we solved a lot i i can't remember which ones I went for, but either way, I'm sure they were fine and not offensive and nothing to write to anyone about.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Exactly. This is the Luke and Pete Show for the next half an hour. We'll give you some nonsense. We'll also probably find some time to include some of your messages as well. Before we get cracking with it, though, we should point out that hello at lukeandpete.com is the email address. That's hello at lukeandpete.com is the email address that's hello at luke and peter.com and the twitter is at luke and pete show our producer nat does a lovely job of keeping you guys abreast of what's happening on twitter as well um peter
Starting point is 00:02:16 i'd like to start today's show by talking about um the listen we've had a lot of bad news haven't we a lot of bad news this um this this last year or so i mean when did the bad news start for you would you say um i came back off my holes 1981 and ev and just everything i mean yeah i mean just look at the um you know yeah when was our company began when did our company begin january of 18 so three years ago okay right yeah so about then i guess yeah but the reason i say that is because um one of i mean if you're one of these people who live your life on twitter and um you are i mean you have a certain kind of human being who thinks the world revolves around Twitter and you know the type of person
Starting point is 00:03:05 I'm talking about. They're normally middle class. Yeah. Cut the podcast under the belt. Yeah, commentariat types. The people that if we weren't such legends we'd be like. They are very into things
Starting point is 00:03:21 like the Bad Sex in Fiction Award. Okay, right? Okay, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. For those who don't know what that is, it was set up about 25 years ago by the Literary Review. It's an annual prize honoring the most outstandingly awful scene of sexual description in an otherwise good novel. But, and you get some crackers.
Starting point is 00:03:43 You get some, like, blokes of a certain age trying to sexually describe a woman, and it just sounds horrendous. And it's very funny. And previous winners include Morrissey, for obvious reasons, Giles Corrin, for obvious reasons, A.A. Gill, for obvious reasons, Tom Wolfe, actually, apparently, as well, which I'm a bit disappointed by. But anyway, let's just say, as the article says, that at one point Morrissey referred to a penis as a, quote-unquote,
Starting point is 00:04:12 bulbous salutation. That kind of thing. Anyway, Pete, what I'm getting to, this is a very long run-up to saying that the organizers have announced that it's not going to take place this year. Oh, what? What are we going to do? Because apparently people have suffered enough. But that's not the fucking point.
Starting point is 00:04:30 The point is it's fucking funny. You should do it. That was funny. And also, the only thing is it's kind of like, I can't read. I don't want to read. But this is the best part of a book. So I go, oh, no. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:04:43 When was the last time you actually read a book, Pete? Oh, I mean, there's very little bad sex in Barack Obama's autobiography I read last week. Very, very little, to be honest. Has anyone asked his wife? You need to get a second opinion on that. I mean, most of the book is just, you know, we talk about how, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:03 black people in public office have to be twice as circumspect twice as sort of uh um you know squeaky clean as any other candidate and but it's formative yeah is it going into uh office a the sacrifices his wife had to make and and and how difficult it was for her christ you had to do the ringinger. And also, B, pretty much every candidate, every time he'd win a race for local governance, it would be because his running adversary had to leap out because of some kind of fucking horrible child sex case or something. All these white politicians are just fucking scumbags.
Starting point is 00:05:43 And this black politician defaults into his favor simply because he's not a fucking child rapist and stuff is it read the first like 50 pages of barack obama's like recent book and it's like fucking hell like this the fucking government in america if you're white you can get rid of so much fucking shit. Do you remember that scene? Did you ever see that Sacha Baron Cohen series, Who is America? I don't actually know. I don't remember that at all.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I think it's called that. I think it's called Who is America? Was it an online thing? No, it was on Channel 4, I think. Sacha Baron Cohen in a variety of different disguises goes and speaks to different people. And to be honest, look, if I'm being totally kind of even-handed, as someone who does know a bit about the country,
Starting point is 00:06:33 it was pretty kind of low-hanging fruit stuff. Yeah, I mean, they would do that at a presser anyway. They would say half of those things anyway. He played like an Israeli kind of... Yeah, exactly, like a military guy. like an israeli um kind of um yeah exactly like a military guy yeah but the point being like i mean you know if you want to go to a fringe kind of brexit group or ukip offshoot in the uk you're gonna find absolute complete fucking weirdos right that exists everywhere oh there was an expose on dispatch i think it was uh about a hartley pool ukip counselor and it's like it's hartley pool it's ukip like sorry
Starting point is 00:07:13 you're gonna get that but there was this one anyway the reason it reminds me of it is because there was this one there's this one there's this guy who ran for office in in um i think alabama there's this guy who ran for office in in um i think alabama and he got he got outed as doing all sorts of unsavory things to be honest i can't quite remember the details so i'm not going to go into detail because i don't want to get in trouble and i can't remember his name but anyway the point being that um he this this sasha baron karen character kind of sets up an interview with him and um talks about um the idea that um you know pedophiles are everywhere in public life and you know you could be among a pedophile and you would never even know and the he um he says that uh but we've invented this device that just goes off whenever a
Starting point is 00:07:56 pedophile's around and it's like it's just like a kind of you know what a metal detector handheld metal detector thing yeah but he makes out that he's for detecting pedophiles anyway to cut a long story short every time he waves over this guy he just goes off and he keeps going oh there must be something wrong with it it must have a mistake i'll just i'll just fix it don't worry about it the guy gets really fucking pissed off because he's been accused of this stuff in the past and right it may it what it does is it shows you like how much of a gigantic pair of bollocks you need to do what Sacha Baron Cohen does.
Starting point is 00:08:27 He goes into these kind of situations. Have you seen the one in the I think it's in either the Borat movie or the Bruno movie where he just starts full on getting involved in proper passionate kissing of another man in front of all these really virulent homophobes.
Starting point is 00:08:45 It's dangerous. People are throwing proper chairs and throwing stuff at him. It's mad. That's great. I remember a sketch in the Eric Andre show where he's getting chased. He's a guy who's handcuffed, and he's running through New York, and he runs into a bagel shop and the policeman catches him and then they just are absolutely French-ing.
Starting point is 00:09:10 And honestly, people are going, call the police. They cannot believe it and they are shocked and threatened by the whole skit. It's so funny. You and I do a bit of of broadcasting try and get involved in entertaining people like it's it's a different type of thing you're a different breed doing that kind of stuff
Starting point is 00:09:31 i'm telling you frightening absolutely frightening changing the story change the subject slightly um you see this story of um in australia of this um this guy who um was rescued by two fishermen, basically two fishermen have rescued a naked fugitive who they found sitting up a tree in a Australian crocodile habitat. Right. These two guys said they heard another guy yell for help on Sunday. Is that a setting up crab traps? Again, go back to what I said on Monday. You don't get people who are just a little bit australian do you these two guys
Starting point is 00:10:10 were setting up crab traps from a dinghy right in crocodile territory near darwin right yeah and they heard this guy shouting they looked up a tree there was a naked man covered in mud cuts and insect bites who had been lost for four days and they survived by eating snails what i mean what a tree eating snails in a tree it turned out it turned out that he had been freed on bail after being charged with armed robbery multiple aggravated assaults and uh stealing he cut off his own electronic monitoring device and just tried to get out tried to evade police basically ended up in the middle
Starting point is 00:10:50 of nowhere up this fucking tree the thing is in australia this guy should know better he's from australia yeah if anything you touch in australia will kill you you can't do that stay in custody yeah so why did they why did the fisherman, like, dob him in? Did the guy explain that he was a fugitive? I think he just made out that he had been lost while in the country. And the fisherman dobbed him in? Well, I guess so. We heard about it, so I guess they did.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Have you got split loyalties on this, Donny? Well, I'm just saying, why did the fisherman, you know, see fit to inform the authorities that there was a convict up a tree if you and I were in a survival situation
Starting point is 00:11:31 in the countryside let's say it's Australia where everything you touch can kill you which of us is lasting longer are we sticking together or are we going there alone
Starting point is 00:11:39 I think sticking together because we don't you know one person could be on watch as the other person sleeps I mean we wouldn't be able to travel very far because the sleeping would have to happen.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Would you feel safe knowing that I'm the one to guard you against crocodiles? Yeah, but I'd need you to go and fetch me asthma medicine, and I don't know what a natural kind of like de-asthma ring. I don't know what berries you can eat to to stop you having asthma attacks i think you just cut big holes in your chest to get more oxygen to the lungs more effectively that sounds about yeah just to track you out i mean just bypass the mouth completely love your job that's something that people have to do isn't it well that's like so that's the thing that so this is the thing that like worries me about
Starting point is 00:12:21 like emergency first aid scenarios like when when you have to learn first aid like the basic side of it i kind of understand but there should be a limit of what people should be expected to do like right you know sometimes like you hear stories and i've heard this story more than once someone's choking right first of all it's one of my biggest phobias to be in a restaurant where someone's choking and the choking person is looking at me right because i kind of know what the heimlich maneuver is but i don't know if i better do it and and and secondly you hear stories this is what i'm talking about you hear stories of someone grabbing a bick byro and shoving it down someone's throat it's like a makeshift airway to save their life. That is a fucking low risk.
Starting point is 00:13:06 That's a low percentage maneuver. Well, it's kind of through the Adam's apple, isn't it? It's below that little nudgy bit. There's a gap between, I think there's a gap between that and the larynx. And you cut it open and you get a pen through. But that's only if the blockage is high in the throat and behind the tongue, presumably, because otherwise, I mean,
Starting point is 00:13:30 you might just add more air above the blockage, which I think would be a problem. I don't think that this is... I can't see how a layman would be able to do it. No, I'd have to have a few stabs at it, quite literally, trying to find the right... I'd have to have a few stabs at it, quite literally, trying to find the right... I'd get a carotid artery... And then it turns out it's just a tickle,
Starting point is 00:13:49 and you put a hole in someone's throat. It's not realistic. And the other thing that's not realistic is that when someone talks about doing the old chest compressions, you have to smash through about eight ribs, apparently, to do that in real life. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:00 That is a worrying thing, isn't it? Imagine crunching down on that and going, oh, fuck this. I've absolutely fucked this. What would you do? What would you do in that situation, Donny? He's just like, well, look, I'm sure the person who's having the heart attack or whatever is probably quite happy to smash all of his or her ribs
Starting point is 00:14:18 to restart the heart. But I just sort of, with stuff like that, I just sort of think advice moves so quickly. They're now saying that Heimlich maneuver isn't as effective as just a big old whack on the back. And like, what if people had wedded the Heimlich maneuver? I've only just got my head around that. Yeah, and I also, like, I was in a situation once, and this isn't funny, and I'm not going to make light of this. I was in the gym once.
Starting point is 00:14:43 That's not the serious situation, although it would be, where a guy on the apparatus next to me collapsed. Yeah. And it was, like, serious. He collapsed right in front of me and looked bad. So I kind of, like, tried to move him into the recovery position and felt his pulse, And he had no pulse. I'm being serious.
Starting point is 00:15:07 This is how it happened. He had no pulse. And at that exact moment, the gym instructor came over and she was like, what's happened? And I said, he's just collapsed and I can't find a pulse. And she said, okay, go and call an ambulance. And she sent me off to call the ambulance, which I did, and the ambulance turned up.
Starting point is 00:15:23 And it turned out the guy had a massive heart attack and he had been told not to go to the gym before and he had snuck in. Snuck in the gym? He was working out in the gym when he shouldn't have done. That's wild, that, isn't it? Yeah, and he had a heart attack because of it and died. But the point is that when it comes to – everyone's different,
Starting point is 00:15:43 but when it comes to calling an ambulance, waiting outside, directing them in, I kind of feel quite comfortable doing that. That's pretty easy. Being responsible for someone's… When it comes to actually being the first responder. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of… Because people say, don't they, if more people were first aid trained,
Starting point is 00:15:58 you'd save X amount of lives every year. But in that situation, I don't know what I'd be. I think I'd be all over the fucking place. Yeah. Yeah. But in that situation, I don't know what, I think I'd be all over the fucking place. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I'm glad I've never had my first aid skills tested, quite frankly. They do say like the place, like the gym, you do obviously have, I mean,
Starting point is 00:16:19 I do question how you know that information about him sneaking into the gym because he'd been told he's, you know, not allowed to be in the gym. How does that even? Because, because the the gym no because no okay so that's probably imprecise language by me because naturally like a week or so later this is a gym at my office by the way so a week or so later i went back and saw what happened and there was there was a memorial thing up that he died for his family and stuff and i asked the lady the gym instructor what happened she said oh well he was he was told to not come to the gym because he hadn't been, he hadn't passed his medical because he had problems with high blood pressure
Starting point is 00:16:49 and stuff. Um, but he kept coming back anyway. And, um, by the time we realized it was too late, basically. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:16:58 That's worrying, isn't it? Well, what a horrific, horrific story. I'm always fascinated by those little, um, the little, uh, what do you always fascinated by those little paddles,
Starting point is 00:17:07 the little electric paddle machines, whatever they're called. Well, they go all the way around together and go clear. The electrocardiogram. No, that's the monitor thing, isn't it? No, it's not that. I can't remember what it's called now. Well, I mean, it's cardio. It's electro.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Let's go with electrocardio. Yeah. Whenever they have a heart attack, it's an electrocardiogram electrocardio yeah but whenever you have a heart attack it's called it's it's an electrocardial infraction or something isn't it but um but they have those they have those in like streets now have you seen them they're little lockers where um and building sites as well you have the little cases little stations and tube stations yeah and if you want to use them you have to ring a number like in a lot of places you've got to ring a number and go can i have the code for the for the fucking machine because this guy
Starting point is 00:17:46 or gal is dying you know it seems like look just leave it open if some of them get vandalised or people hurt themselves you know Darwinism in action but we should know not to fuck about with them
Starting point is 00:18:00 yeah definitely I remember being on the radio show once um and the section after me was a guy who had come on because his friends had died at a golf course because of a heart attack and as a result of his lobbying he um had got one of those machines things put in every single golf course around the country oh cool um yeah it's like a cool thing but sadly i think you could probably work out who the host was, Pete. Sadly, he got sidetracked and decided to talk about how lovely the golf course was and what round it shot that morning and all the rest of it.
Starting point is 00:18:35 So sometimes people will get distracted. If you saw that man in the street, would you be grabbing for the machine? I'm surprised he hasn't used it himself put it that way um let's have a quick break when we come back uh we'll do a couple of emails like i said to you guys before i've got an email here from a policeman and i think he might be of a fairly senior rank uh-oh that's rank this week on Stakhanov. Throughout January, Clash of the Titles are letting you pick the films
Starting point is 00:19:10 being battled out on air. Already binged your way through Netflix during lockdown? Listen as Alex, Vicky and Chris rediscover and tear apart old and new favorites alike week in, week out. I like here, though, that Michael Bay starts as he means to go on. I made a list of sort of Bay-isms from this sequence.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Low angles, lens flare, dry ice, washed-out colours, military hardware, men marching, orchestral score, guitar riffs. Or if you're looking for some much-needed escapism, why not catch up with the Abroad in Japan podcast? Chris was recently joined by Joey the Anime Man to discuss mastering conversational Japanese. That's a really interesting topic, back-channeling, which is where you kind of go oh in japanese if you don't do the every now and then then people just think you're not listening or you're ignoring them all that and a
Starting point is 00:19:55 whole lot more at stakhanov and we're back it's the looking peach show if you want to get to the show hello at looking peach show.com that's our email address. What's yours? Let us know by emailing us. Yeah. We won't use it. We promise. Listen, I've got an email here from a guy who wants to be known simply as Mark. He says, even gents, I was catching up on the show on my commute to work
Starting point is 00:20:21 when I heard about the police detective's encounter with people engaged in passion in public. Well, you've now got a detective and a sergeant as listeners. Oh, okay, right. We could start some kind of full kind of like police department, I think, right now. We bloody well could as well. And if those pencil pushers down City Hall don't like it, Pete, they can take our badge.
Starting point is 00:20:49 He says, as an aside, who is who is the highest rank listener you've got so if those of you out there who are a member of the thin blue line get in touch let us know also um question for you pete in lieu of mark not being here he says i was listening to the show on my commute to work at what point does the police officer clock on? Well, yeah, good point, actually. Yeah, it seems weird because if you're a policeman, a policewoman, you can't, a police person, you can't really ignore crime at any point. So you're always on, presumably.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I'd be billing 24-7. A friend of mine is a police officer, and I won't name him because I'm about to tell you a story that could get him in a lot of trouble which is that um we were refused entry to a night club once because we were too drunk he pulled his badge out to try and pull rank and get us in the bouncer who was much tougher than him stole the fucking warrant card and refused to give it back um to which point my friend had to wait till the next morning, go back to the nightclub and ask very nicely if he could have his warrant card back because he needed to go to work. So what I'm saying is it's a grey area.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Have a look on Luke's Facebook, friends. Figure out who it might be. I'm not on Facebook anymore, so you can't. Ah, damn it. Mark goes on to say, one of his earliest memories of policing and one which will live with him to the day he dies is one where he encountered such passionate, quote-unquote, passionate behavior.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Mark takes up the story by saying, I was on patrol with a colleague looking for people up to no good in my old stomping ground and Pete's new area, actually, of Hemel Hempstead. You know it well. Oh, nice. He says, we went to a usual spot to look for suspicious activity when an empty car park uh was well basically an almost empty car park had a loan current a rental car in it and we pulled up behind it and i got out and approached the driver's side window
Starting point is 00:22:37 expecting to find someone smoking a bit of cannabis as the windows were quite misted up what i found however was a young lad laid back while his lady friend was giving him a treat. Worst part was he didn't notice my presence at the window with my torch shining in, but the lady did. She looked up while still engaged and we made solid eye contact for what seemed like forever. With my colleague just getting out of the car, I turned on my heels and said,
Starting point is 00:23:07 nothing for us here to save the poor lass from any embarrassment and got back in the car and carried on with our job. Love of the show as always. Happy New Year to you all. Keep up the good work, Mark. So a bit of restraint there, a bit of common sense perhaps, showing by the police officer's question. Enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I would have smashed every window in the car. Yeah. Get a hotel room. I mean, look, a rental car. Is that what your partner is, you know, is worth to you? Just, you know, hire a car rather than a hotel room or a
Starting point is 00:23:40 brand new breakfast. But he could have been hired. He could have had the rental car for all sorts of reasons. He could have been on holiday. Good point, yeah. Good point. When you've got the rental car for all sorts of reasons. He could have been on holiday. No, good point. Yeah, good point. Look, when you've got to go, you've got to go. Well, sometimes when we go up to Scotland, we'll get a train up there. We'll hire a car, Pete. Nice. I like it.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Safe driving if we're up there. Do you know what I mean? I've got a message from a man called, I'm not going to say that person's name, but it is a man. Mysterious phone call. Hey, guys, this is my first time emailing uh this came in this morning by the way i love the show got a story from when i was a kid that i think might interest you it still bothers me to this very day it's a bit long but i promise it's worth reading
Starting point is 00:24:15 till the end around about the time i was 12 my dad had a missed call with a voice note from 2 a.m the night before when he played the message it was the sound of a woman wailing and crying and muttering something undistinguishable. What made it weird was that the call came from our home telephone, Luke. Oh, get fucked. I don't want to hear it. It's too unsettling. Since I was 12 at the time, this terrified me.
Starting point is 00:24:42 My parents knew I had issues dealing with fear, so I was told that a family member who was staying with us at the time had issues with sleepwalking and talking. This calmed me at the time. However, many years later, my sister told me that they just told me that to calm me down since I was scared and that it wasn't true. I'm over it, but it still haunts me to this day since I can't think of any logical explanation. No one in my family have ever had issues with sleepwalking or talking.
Starting point is 00:25:03 So no one actually knows the origin of the phone call. Let me know if you guys have any theories, because I certainly don't. Thanks for reading. My God, what do you think, Donny? Well, because back in the day, you would occasionally get cross lines when it was all analogue. Would you? Yeah, every now and again you'd sort of be able to hear something.
Starting point is 00:25:23 When you'd sort of put your – you have a listen to to to an analog phone phone call and you didn't say anything you could sometimes hear kind of uh you know interference from other lines at the at the patch lines and stuff so you know there was a possibility back in the day that it wasn't meant for you either way harrowing voicemail message. Looking at their email address, I would maybe suggest that they either got the email address around the same time that I got my email address or they're around about 20. So we just don't know. But it was left on a mobile phone anyway, so it's got to be modern.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yeah, well, it just said, yeah, missed call with the voice notes. I don't know. So a voice note might have been, you know, on an old iPhone when you used to have the voice notes, you know, so voice note it might have been you know on an old uh iphone when you used to have uh the uh the voice notes you know in the actual ios system either way harrowing absolutely harrowing and um do you remember back in the day when you had a landline that it was it was an urban myth that went around my area that if when you started the phone call if you heard two little pips it meant someone was listening into the call so you should hang up and call them again did you ever have that that most recording devices
Starting point is 00:26:28 would put that little beep beep in there because uh otherwise you're uh yeah i think they're legally required to sort of do that but no i i i never heard that particular rumor but sounds about right one of the most 80s pursuits you could do was listening in to the police on the old CB radio. I could get the taxis and sometimes the police on my telly, on my black and white telly. Oh, yeah? There you go.
Starting point is 00:26:53 The taxis is boring. There's nothing good about the taxis. You ain't getting in without the taxis. True. True. Absolutely true. It's really boring. But you are getting sunk out of the police, right?
Starting point is 00:27:02 Surely. Mm. I thought it was really weird that back in the day in America, you could listen in to most of the police stuff, and then if there was something particularly salacious that they didn't want going out, they would switch to a private line. Just make all the lines private, for crying out loud. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:18 But that's probably unconstitutional. But do you remember when we did a live show with the Ramble in Manhattan, and the microphones were really dodgy because they're radio mics but there's so much police activity in new york city oh yeah they keep picking up the wrong frequencies in the wrong channel it took them ages to find a channel for the radio mics when that happened do you know what when that happened i was sat there thinking this is fucking brilliant this is absolutely so exciting if you told me like the 12 year old me that this would be happening at some point it was mental it's absolutely insane you couldn't get too close to the front of the venue because the when the police cars go past
Starting point is 00:27:55 you'd get interference on your mic from like a police radio i mean i like it it's like it's like basically living in the movie of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It is indeed. It is indeed. Anyway, speaking of which, you know, last on Monday we talked about school discos. I remember my friend saying that, telling all the kids in my class when I was about eight, that he and I had made up a dance to Turtle Power by Partners in Crime, which was the official soundtrack to the Teen mutant ninja turtles movie and that we would be doing it at the school disco right and i don't
Starting point is 00:28:33 know why he said it i don't know there was never any suggestion that either of us were dancers and when it got to the school disco itself we hadn't done anything because he just made it up and uh nothing came of it. But isn't that just the weirdest thing to do when you're a kid? Do you remember when kids used to make up weird lies for no reason? Yeah, yeah. There was always one kid who would make up more lies than anyone else. Were you the liar in the class?
Starting point is 00:28:57 Oh, one of them, for sure, because I think I was just so keen to get attention of people that I would just say anything. Not bad stuff. I wouldn't like, you know, I wouldn't like say that someone touched me or something, but I would say like that I scored the most amazing. So I was never the kid who said that like Michael Jackson came to his house and used the toilet.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Right? Right. But I would say stuff like I scored an amazing goal in a football match when I didn't, if you know what I mean. Does that make sense? What does that put me on if you know what I mean. Embellishment. What does that put me on the scale? Embellishment. Embellishment more than actual, you know, full-on lying.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah, because when all the girls were after you because you were a bit of a catch back in the day, I had absolutely no interest from girls. So I think that's probably why I was doing it. You'd do anything to sort of knock me down a peg or two. 100%. Yes. That's been what's typified this relationship over all these years
Starting point is 00:29:45 speaking of which, shall we get out of here? yeah alright then, we can't be doing this all day if crying out loud got other things to do so thank you very much for listening to the Luke and Pete show, leave us a review on Apple podcast if you get a moment, that'd be great we'll be back on Monday for more
