What's popping? The Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Remember them? That might be inappropriate, Peter. It is, yeah. The band, the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. That's quite a rude thing, isn't it? Listen, I was listening to a band this morning.

So I've got a shared playlist with a couple of pals. Yeah. And they've all got much better music taste than me in fact they don't i mean that's subjective of course but they know loads more about yeah music than me yeah uh and um one of them put a song on by a band called the thomas jefferson slave apartments right okay which i thought was an excellent name for a band i've never heard of them before i didn't like the song very much. No. But the name of the artist was pleasing. It was pleasing. Well, yeah, this is the Luke and Pete show.

Welcome to it. I'm Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore. And I am exhausted. So, yeah, you've been to the city of brotherly love. The city of brotherly love, the windy city, I think it's now going to be called because that's all we have experienced.

We experienced a lot of independent wrestling shows. That's kind of why Wrestle Me, the podcast, goes out to WrestleMania because every time WrestleMania is on, there's loads of independent shows. And they're kind of the meat that we're kind of fascinating. That's not the reason you go. That's absolute bollocks.

Oh, no, it's drinking. drinking thank you four days away from work drinking spending time with someone you really like in the shape of mark haynes correct uh and uh dressing really smartly among a load of bo smelling nerds and looking cool yeah i mean that that sounds i sound like i've had a lovely time um but also but but wrestlemania um night one this time around was the worst experience i have ever had oh that's really weird because adam gerald was saying to me that he thought it was the best one he watched it on telly he said it was like the best one in ages so there's two nights the first night was atrocious and the crowd was very um subdued simply because it was four degrees and everyone was freezing and wrestling outdoor in an NFL stadium in southern Philadelphia the sea where the Eagles play yeah and it was just so

very open and then the second night honestly it was like it was like day and night the experience was so much better because it was just like it was cracking off for nine degrees which was better and and also i'd gone to a primark and bought two pairs of thermal tights which i wore on top of each other tell me a bit more about them um quite my legs looked a bit funny when i took them off um i'd applied some you know like if you apply a tourniquet youet, you can't untie the tourniquet until you get to a hospital because the hospital needs to inject a special anticaragulant or an anti-something. I did not know that. So if you keep blood in one part of your body, it becomes toxic.

So if you tourniquet and then you release it, all of those toxins go around your body and it can kill you. It gets you high, is that what you're saying? It gets you absolutely high, yeah. uh that's why that's why i grip certain parts of my body tightly so you you and these undergarments so so to speak we're almost performing a kind of tourniquet roll on your entire body yeah so i was all i was able to move in the top half but i was very much walking like a little toddler. Like an Egyptian. Like I'd pooped myself, yeah.

That's pleasing to hear, though, from us who are fans of yours and your work particularly. So a few people got in touch with me saying you need to hold Pete to a task on a couple of things he's been up to in Philadelphia, one of which was eating fried oysters for breakfast ahead of a flight, which does seem like a high-risk manoeuvre, Peter. It was a high-risk manoeuvre, yeah, yeah.

I didn't fall foul of... To be fair, WrestleMania night one, I'd had the bad stomach that day. So I thought, you know what? It's a clean slate for me and my stomach. Let's enjoy some fried oysters for breakfast. Did you agree there and then, along with your stomach,

you came to an agreement where you thought, we're going to let bygones be bygones here and we're going to have a reset. I said, you've had you on, you've almost ruined night one of WrestleMania because my guts are killing me. And yeah,

so I said, I'll let you have that one. You've gone in with two feet there. And night two, it was quiet. And the flight home, after me fried oysters, it treated me well.

Although the lady who sat next to me on the flight would probably disagree. Have you ever been on a trip where you haven't had rotten guts the first day you get there I just think it's it's sleep deprivation

because it just is and also and just eating a lot of like when you're eating out and about especially because you go to wrestling shows

and we did honestly like I know you think it's absolutely piss off but it wasn't because there was just so little time free time to actually record the shows in between shows that we didn't have time to eat so i was mainly eating um uh philadelphia uh cheese sticks the spread yeah i was eating philly cheese sticks uh left right and center at wrestling shows on hot dogs and they don't really have anything that isn't like a meat in a bun or a hoagie with onions and mustard and stuff. So there isn't really any.

I wasn't really eating any food. No, it's not food, is it? I find it very difficult to eat as healthily in the US. Yeah. The only exception being that there's normally a load of, if I'm staying at someone's, staying at people's families' houses and stuff,

there's always loads of options. The problem is I just don't take those options. No. I'm straight in the car, I drive down to the CVS and I'm buying loads of M&Ms. I'm treating them as meals.

A big drum of iced tea. CVS iced tea, the selection is ridiculous. There's so much iced tea on Alpha. CVS is incredible generally. It's incredible. When I stay with the in-laws, yes, I can avail myself of loads of lovely food in the house or i can get in

the car drive state down the cumberland farms and buy myself one of those um hot wraps from the uh the little meat hot counter thing yeah and a gigantic drink and it's and and the best thing about um the the the apothecaries the the cvs's and the Walgreens of this world, you can buy an astonishing amount of pills at the same time. Like, if you buy, like, painkillers, you could buy 300 painkillers, and no one asks any questions. It's freedom. It's freedom, baby! I got stopped buying two boxes of ibuprofen in the supermarket

about three weeks ago. Yeah, they do really cheap ibuprofen in Aldi and you can only buy two. 16 tablets a pack? It's not even that many. They're like 40 pence for a load of ibuprofen. It's like, mate, I am stocking up and they're going, nah, nah, nah,

you're only allowed two. In the US, there's a load of things that are different about the UK and the US, which we're sure you know. In the US, they're never going to stop you on that kind of stuff. That kind of law would never get passed. No, they're never going to stop you and that kind of stuff that kind of law would never get passed no they're never going to

stop you spending money it's anti-capitalism is it Peter can I just ask whether you crashed a car while you were there I didn't know I drove an electric car

for the first time and it was a bit smaller than the one they gave us last year in Los Angeles and it was the electric dream is over I'm sorry Greta

the electric dream Peter Donaldson is very much team not EV car simply because it is fucking impossible to use one, charge one, if you do not have a driveway and any way to charge it yourself. I think it's fine for people who pootle around town. Well, I had to kind of, I had to park in a big car park that cost me about 40 quid for seven hours and then another 40 quid to charge it on the on the ev charge thing so it's just an absolute nightmare it was so much more expensive than gas um that's being charged to stack

presumably is it i've not claimed anything to stack because because to be quite frank i used to claim my flights uh and it's very much a fingernail as, is it? I've not claimed anything a stack. Because to be quite frank, I used to claim my flights and it's very much a fingernail as to how much money it costs. So it's very much a work holiday that I'm supporting myself. And was it the blessing of the wife, the partner you have access to? Yeah, well... You stay out of the way for a bit and she didn't notice. Thought it was.

Oh, good. Excellent. Thought it was. Oh, good. Excellent. That's the answer I wanted. Yeah. I was made promises that might not have been kept. Yeah. That's how it goes sometimes. Listen,

when you're a renegade thinker like you, someone who kind of perhaps lives on the fringes of society, has a lot of his own ideas, has a lot of his own research, you can't expect sometimes the man's going to try and drag you down occasionally no i just think that uh yeah and and and uh wrestle me is um flying at the moment so it's important great show great show great people

and you know what it was really nice because we started doing stuff on youtube it was really nice to sort of see like meet people who didn't um who have been moving over from the youtube to the patreon um and like just seeing like these like a family of three on a train back from messamania tartan was like like these guys were like american gigantic so the physicality was interesting to me um and and and like very like the very picture of like a a well off american family let's say and um and they were sat there and we were talking about Kendo Nagasaki, the British ninja warrior of the 1980s, 1970s. And it's just really nice.

They said, we would never have known about this guy if it weren't for like WrestleMania. So that's really heartening, I think, for Mark. There goes Pete Dawson. You must remember to thank him. Must remember to thank him, yeah. But it was just a nice dynamic.

And did you meet many WrestleMe fans when you were out there then? Yeah, loads. Way more than the last two years. So it must be something, right? Anecdotally. Good. I'd love to see you in the squared circle

in a pair of pants. I would. It just looks... I was talking to the wrestler that I went for a see you in the squared circle in a pair of pants I would I it just looks I was talking to the wrestler that I went for a drink with in Japan what? before

sort of October time when I went to Japan when I went to Japan did I try to make you smoke a load of cigarettes? no that was an old man who ran me over in a scooter on a scooter in Korea

about five years ago no he was a wrestler I met with and we got drunk and did karaoke and he he was over

doing some shows because pretty much everyone just converges on it and the and he was and some of the shows were at like 11 o'clock

in the morning and so he's just got off a flight from Japan a little bit stiff wrestling and then he's like going

I'm so tired it was a bit heavy for 11 o'clock in the morning but you're not going to ever put the pants

on and get cracking with it no I think to start a wrestling career at 42 would be stressful

it would be brilliant I was talking to Mark and I said well Mark I'm 38 and Mark

went are you I went no I'm not I'm not 38 in my mind I are you? I went, no, I'm not. I'm not 38. In my mind, I've got a very underwhelming age in my head. You could pass for 30. Can I pass for 38? Yeah.

Yeah, thanks. I was talking to the wife I have access to literally earlier today about Shobie's ages. Right. And she surprisingly said I could pass for like 38. I thought she was going to be mean. No, massively. I think, yeah, because you've got all your hair, you're quite fair,

you haven't got any wrinkles, you're doing all right. Yeah. We've got a son who sleeps well, so we've been very, very lucky. We've won the lottery of life. Peter, another thing the listeners asked me

to ask you while you were away is did you miss me? Yeah. Is that a lie? I mean, when was the last time we did, I mean, when did I last see you? What do you miss about me the most?

The wrinkles. Do you appreciate me organising a photo shoot when was the last time we did I mean when did I last see you what do you miss about me the most the wrinkles do you appreciate me organising a photo shoot for us tomorrow quite near your house I mean I mean I presume Lawrence

who's helping us out he isn't isn't he the one who chooses all the stuff you're talking to the puppet master right now he said

do you want to do it in Romford you went yeah you went I've done it for you Peter I said yeah I will do that, actually, because I get some cultural capital out of Pete for that. I've got you pegged, sunshine. I blamed you. I've also, the thing is, this is the kind of person I am.

I've tried to get some cultural capital from you out of that, some appreciation. What I've also done is I've turned heel and I've told everyone who's moaned that I've got to go to Romford that it's for you. Right. Okay, well, they will be disavowed of to the Romford that it's for you. Right, okay. Well, they will be disavowed of that information, of that opinion. Don't you worry about that.

The thing is, people will go, oh yeah, but Luke's slowly stitched himself up there. What you don't understand about me is as long as I'm involved, I don't care. As long as people are talking about me. Excuse me, I'm trying to sort my chair out. Sorry for the noise. What are you doing? Just feel for one second, please. Oh, he's muted his microphone so he can't hear the the squeaking and we could have had a little

bit of um theater of the mind there we could have heard the little squeaks and the creaks i'm back yeah sorry about that but since since um we've we've increased the size of our family yet not the size of our house right i've got i've got a multitask everywhere i've got i've got a recording dining room these days it's absolutely barbaric everything's creaking well look the acoustics are absolutely up there

they really are maybe it's just a great dining room maybe it's just a great dining room recently on the football round sorry

the Luke and Pete show here we go I did a Pete dance it's like when you used to chuck out the

absolute radio email address we talked about Tienge Mutant Ninja Turtles didn't we we found out I we we found out I think we found out so producer Taylor

who's a new producer of the Lucan Pete show she's very young and she very young compared to us anyway where was she oh yeah

she hadn't heard of Iron Maiden the other day I can kind of understand that because they are 100 million records you had to dig them out

even back in the day really that's the thing that's the beauty of them isn't it they're not really mainstream but they are 100 million records you had to dig them out even back in the day really that's the thing that's the beauty of them isn't it they're not really mainstream but they are massively

mainstream on their own terms yes yeah I would have that I would have that and just they've been around for such a long time doing their thing

they don't give a shit they must be a nice life because if you're an Ironman you could probably walk down the street as a multi-millionaire Dickinson Dickinson can't walk down

like Dickinson can't walk down the street. Like, Dickinson can't walk down the street. Fine. But the other ones can. The fucking West Ham bassist. He could probably do it. The West Ham bassist. The old West Ham bassist.

Steve Harris. Steve Harris. Respect on his name. The only Steve Harris I know is Steve Harris who used to work for XFM who used to make this noise a lot. Woof!

For a long time, I thought that was the same bloke. Right. Okay. Fair. Because they have a similar kind of aesthetic. Yeah, and Steve Harris from Iron Maiden loves bands like... Who's the one who did that song about CCTV?

That album about CCTV? Hardfy. Hardfy. He loved bands like that and the Ordinary Boys. Absolutely loved the Ordinary Boys. Yeah, a lot of that stuff's not aged well, has it? No, no, it really, really hasn't. I'm pretty sure Hard Fire might be back, by the way.

I reckon you've done an interview with Hard Fire where you've pretended to like their stuff. No, I think they came in and just sat and checked their emails at XFM once and I thought it was rather rude. You must have interviewed them at Isle of Wight or something like that. Never done Hard Fire. He's quite a funny eyebrow-y man, isn't he?

He looks like a Thunderbird. He does look like a Thunderbird. The guy who made Thunderbird, Gerry Anderson, he really paid a lot of attention to the old eyebrows, didn't he?

Yeah, I think he started, he did eyebrows first. Yeah. And then built the whole character around the eyebrows. Yeah. Do you remember when like, eyebrows are a big thing?

It went like, for lasses, eyebrows are like massive about seven years ago. Like, it was so important to have mental eyebrows. Yeah,

was it not longer than that? I don't know, like eyebrows just like, there was near eyebrows, then there's eyebrows. Yeah. Nobody had a bum, now everyone's got a massive bum. Like eyebrows just like, there was no eyebrows. Then there's eyebrows. Yeah. Nobody had, nobody had a bum.

Now everyone's got a massive bum. Like it just, it just everything. No one used to drink water. Now everyone drinks water. Everyone's drinking water out of more and more fancier and fancier mugs

that they sort of, they parade around with. That's the one in America, isn't it? The old big, we've spoken about them before. Those massive cups. That's not Stanley cups. That's what you win in the hockey. Yeah. The old big, we've spoken about them before, those massive cups, not Stanley cups,

that's what you win in the hockey. Yeah, I know what you mean. Those cups have become big, yeah. But they only became big because one was found in a burned out car. One was found in a burned out car and they used it as a big PR thing. I think they bought the woman a new car.

A woman had left her mug in a car and she went, this is weird, my car's all burned out but the mug is fine and they used that as the pr bought her a new car and now it's the most um top selling mug in the whole it's a great bit of advertising for the for the mug though it is car room in the mug car room but then they did sort of say that it does have lead in it but people have made the point that um uh a lot of these things do have lead in them but as long as they're not touching the water you're fine it's not touching the water guys might have lead in it but it's not touching the water like the story of um speaking of dangerous metals when i had a mercury maze in my house as i told

you the mercury just disappeared and no one cared if that was now the whole street would be closed down my wife says that probably went to my brain when I tell that story yeah and then for the fifth time you go it doesn't affect me Pete remember we spent quite a lot of time in January and February talking about vasectomies

yes yeah there was nerve vasectomies then everyone was having a vasectomy you know also one of the things it's fair to say that we are interested in, not in a morbid way, but just in terms of kind of a standing assault, you know, to one side, having a look on, that's quite interesting, is earthquakes.

Is that fair? Are you interested in earthquakes? Yeah, through the prism of... Safety? Safety. Through the prism of Japan in general Have you experienced an earthquake or not? No, never have

No, never have And it's weird because I've been to Japan quite a few times And they have them daily there I like that interview with that actor Who did that little story about Liam Neeson Liam Neeson Yeah, we're not getting into that

We're not getting into that Nah, can't get into that How is that man still called Greer? The things he said in interviews. So, I read a... Chasing men down the street, doing the bloody earthquake. Japanese voice.

Yeah. By the way, just so people haven't seen that, that was recent. We're not talking about back in the 70s. No, no, no, no, no, no. It was a junket for a Japanese film. It was probably Scorsese's film uh to film the release of five but you know my friend tappers

who um he actually listens to the show tappers he's having um he's having um issues with his place because there's a building site that's sprung up next to his apartment right okay and i forgot we took we'd moved on to earthquakes and vasectomies there. He's having problems in this place. I'm going to bring it back round in a reasonably competent impression of a broadcaster. If you've just had a vasectomy an earthquake is the last place you want to be.

You don't want a Jocelyn. I'm going to come on to that. But anyway, Tappers is experiencing earthquakes in his apartment which is causing cracks in his house because of the foundation stuff they're doing. So they happen in East London as well. But anyway, so speak... I've got three.

If you put a vasectomy and an earthquake together... Screaming, I imagine, yeah. Just a lot of screaming. To fully complete the circle as well, this also happened in Pennsylvania, right? I would say that an earthquake probably creates quite a lot of vasectomies because they break pipes. Do you know what I mean?

Like, it would damage pipes, wouldn't it? So that's exactly what a vasectomy is. So they do have a lot. A vasectomy surgeon has a lot in common with an earthquake. It's almost like a tectonic vasectomy, isn't it? A tectonic vasectomy. Isn't it? Yeah.

And that's how you get money out of your insurer. You have to use the correct terminology. Check this out. This guy, Justin Allen, from a place called Horsham in Pennsylvania, I don't know how close it is to Philly, but it's in the same state, was in the middle of a vasectomy when the, basically when that earthquake hit the East Seaboard back, like earlier this month or last month or whatever

rick to scale earthquake according to the u.s geological survey uh he said i thought maybe a train was passing by it was just something that happens at our office but then the doctor stopped and said i think this is an earthquake um he then apparently quote unquote put his tools down for a moment and um but then justin said that i wasn't really worried because he had walked me through every step of the procedure so it just felt like a little speed bump on the way and um everything turned out okay fantastic wow i mean what are the chances though presumably people are having like brain surgery as well we need to find that's where my brains are um surely they they would have like there would be more um troubling

operations people who were doing it at that one time. That's what I want to hear from the other people who were getting operated on. Well, the one, yeah, the one that was in, that was the New York based one, I think. But the one that happened somewhere in the Far East, I want to say Taiwan, maybe? There was one in Taiwan fairly recently.

Yes, yes, yes. And have you seen the footage of the car driving along a cliff side road no and all of a sudden it's a dash cam footage and all of a sudden the car just starts

reversing back down the road and you don't know why and all these boulders start flying down the mountain absolutely flying down yeah right

and do you know what it looks like Pete honestly it looks like a cut scene from a fucking video game Uncharted Uncharted yeah

everything's been blurred now yeah do you not do you know what would you do in that situation if you're driving would you would you bother driving backwards bearing in mind you'd probably get hit with one going backwards or would you get out the car and try and avoid it like a video game i think you have to kind of assume that he's seen that up ahead of him and that's why he's reversing he's just taking his chances now i've been in this situation before where someone's emergency stopped on a motorway right it's been wet and i've had to try and stop but i know i'm never going to stop in time so i just take my chances and

broke brakes as hard as i could and then swerved into the lane next to me hoping there was no car there and in my case there wasn't a car there it's like an instinctive reaction it was fine but i think you're just taking your chances going look if i go that way i'm fucked if i go back i might still be fucked but i might not be right i'm not getting out the car i don't think i just i just think i would i would drive if the boulder had gone past me in front i'd be like well chances are there's not gonna be another boulder up there. I'm safe that bit. I'll just stand in the place where I know a boulder's rolled down because that bit's been bouldered. It's been bouldered.

It's been bouldered, baby. You don't get double jeopardy in bouldering. No. Yeah, you can't really argue to your maker saying that. I shouldn't be here because there was a double bouldering, and that's just cheating. Yeah. I often feel like with earthquakes,

when they tell you to stand in the doorway, that sounds a bit like you've got to say something. We need to give some people something in terms of advice. So just say that. How's that going to help if it's a nine on the Richter scale? I mean, yeah. I mean, if you are in a place where a lot of them are kicking off you they are pretty well um i just always sort of think there's going to be there's going to be

damages and i just don't trust people to spend the money to get it fixed up again yeah if you there's a brilliant bit in slashes autobiography but there's an earthquake in la and every single one of his like 22 snakes get released. And he spends the rest of the week running around the neighbourhood trying to find them all. Trying to find his snakes. Knowing what I know about Slash and I don't want to cast aspersions on the man's character, I wouldn't be surprised

if he doesn't have the appropriate licences for those reptiles. Yeah, and also he probably spent a lot of time trying to find his crack spiders as well. Yeah, that actually happened as well, didn't it? His crack spiders went out. There was one as well didn't it yeah his crack spiders it was one bit when he it was one bit

when he froze himself through a plate glass window at a golf club because he thinks all these little leprechauns are chasing him because he's on withdrawal from heroin

I mean it's it's pretty full on what's going on yeah I'm surprised by the way I was saying to a friend of mine

I'm surprised that a couple of those lads of that generation haven't gone properly you know Trump mad like Ted Nugent has too rich to need it

I just think I don't know but that's what they do though isn't it because they haven't got anything else good to do yeah

I think the rocker disappointed everyone this week by being there because he's always been quite Republican but like

you'd think that you know this whole walk anti-walk thing it kind of, it's got to gas out at some point. Why would you not just sit on the sidelines for a bit? But he probably, but I think if you look at the actual interview which I watched,

he is kind of doing that. Yeah. He didn't say I'm endorsing Trump. He said, I endorsed Biden last time because that's what we needed. Will I be doing that this time? The answer is no. He might have easily just been saying that I'm not going to be involved. No, it's more just kind of like the slight culture, the walk, culture, war, art stuff.

He didn't need to put that into so many words, really, I suppose. I don't know. I just thought he didn't, he needs to... People think he's positioning himself, I don't know. Oh, he massively is.

I think that's the plan. And he'll probably, he'll probably get in, to be honest. But he is... I like the fact that he... We're talking about this, obviously, on the show, but I like the fact that he spends a lot of his time trying to do, like...

He reminds me of me, Luke. We're bad at Twitter. We're bad at social media. We're bad at little videos and stuff. He tries to do little stunts and stuff, and nobody really sort of... What do you mean? What kind of stuff? He sort of...

He famously... And we'll go to a break in a second. He'll sort of go into a shop that he used to shoplift in and he's going to buy up the whole shop. He used to go in

and steal, I don't know, marathon or Snickers bars or whatever. And now he's going back and he's spending like thousands of pounds on buying the whole shop out of Snickers and then he's going to hand them out to the people

who are coming into the shop, et cetera, et cetera. What, and people just don't care? Yeah, and the video's not that popular and he's doing it all off his own bat and it's all a bit embarrassing. He needs a team behind him. He needs a team behind him. If he can't get that right, how's he going to get

a presidential push right? That's my question. The only way he can't get that right, how is he going to get a presidential push right? That's my question. The only way he can genuinely truly be like you is when that stunt doesn't work, he then runs around shouting at everyone that if it wasn't for

the collapse of Vine that he'd be a social media star by now because Vine was really his platform. Vine really was my platform, yeah. I've never said that, but that's what you have said and it's grown into...

No, you do think that though. No, I don't. I liked Vine because it don't I liked Vine because it was I liked Vine I didn't but I liked Vine the only one that was successful

was me falling off my chair which was the best thing I've ever done but I think you thought that was a platform for us to build on well it launched a lot of

it launched Logan Paul who was at the wrestling they launched him he's had a good life was he wrestling or was he just there he was wrestling yeah he's annoying a good life. Was he wrestling or was he just there? He was wrestling, yeah. He's annoyingly good at it.

Yeah. But, yeah. We've got to take a short break if that's all right with you. Batteries when we come back. Oh, batteries. We're back with Luke and Pete Shaw and we have got some batteries.

What you have pulled out of Consumer Electronics. Hey, guys, says Chris. I hope the recent battery disappointment doesn't mean the search for new batteries is coming to an end. Anyway, I found this in my brother's black box when taking him on a driving lesson.

It's not a traditional size, but a CR123A. It was fatter than a AA, but about two thirds of the size. Hopefully Varta can get me my second successful entry. Regards, Chris. Now, we've not featured a lot of cr123as

i am happy to extend the um the the batteries outside of the usual you know double a triple a d cells uh to cr123a because there are some brands that you only ever see in this form factor and ratio so so i'm welcoming in this particular form factor. But if Chris thinks he's going to get into the Battery Daddy with a Varta, he's got another thing coming because they are all over the bloody place. But thank you for getting in touch, Chris. Yeah, come on, mate. I mean, this is over 50 people have sent this in before.

Get it together. Right, this is right up our street. Hi, Luke and Pete. I bought, this is from, just scroll past all of the pictures. Paul. Paul Smith. Paul Smith, hello, Paul.

Hi, Luke and Pete. I bought an unopened 1996 Star Trek Dr. McCoy medical kit off eBay last week. What a confusing sentence. It was when he got his vasectomy. I spent too much money tracking down this and spock's tricorder to complete my set of classic star trek props from 1996 originally priced as 14.99 but uh due to young family pressures i could not get the others past my wife now i'm

approaching my 60th i thought why not the two batteries inside had corroded but luckily had a bit of white vinegar but with a bit of white vinegar i cleaned the mess and my 25th century medical scanner now works I attached the photo of the batteries I'm sure you'll have seen them all before but hey ho

a nice little ending for me as I'm now able to scan for all diseases and ailments in seconds a bonus for my entry into official old man stage I like the idea

of just on a bus just scanning people with his with his doctor it looks like the old doctor to be nerdy about it it looks like the old doctor who's sonic screwdriverdy about it, it looks like the old Doctor Who sonic screwdriver.

It does. I mean, I guess that's the... Yeah. I mean, it's a nice little... I think even... That's 1996. Now, 1996 was very much like the next generation, wasn't it? That was Picard and stuff.

That was that era. But it's obviously a retro reproduction of what the old tricorder stuff used to look like back in the day. So it's a lovely bit of work. And also what I like about the picture of it, I think I can see a dog in the background. So that's even better. Can you?

I can. Oh, yeah, I can too, yeah. The marble top. There's a Scotty dog. There's a mysterious Scotty dog in the background. So, yeah. It's a lovely bit of kit and it's a nice reproduction of the form.

And he's come in with is it HW Eero 3X yeah so the brand is just HW right HW super heavy duty

I think if I'm right and that's not a new player I'm afraid not a new player that's a shame we've had 17 of those already so people are sending in

some quite poor shouts this week who have we got next who's last I like the stories around them you know great stories great stories to hear about

got a possible new player says GL16 Paco super puissance puissance wow good thing to note it's

it's PB a lead battery must be a rarity these days yeah I mean I've PB. A lead battery must be a rarity these days. Yeah. I mean, I've not seen a lead battery for absolutely ages. They kind of, you get them in cars, don't you, lead batteries? I can't remember. I'm not really sure.

You see those fellas in like developing nations emptying out old car batteries and fixing them up with new chemicals and stuff. I'm not sure what product these batteries are in. I can just see the back of a pink product. A pink product. I think it's a child's calculator

they've tried to skew to the female market. But do let us know, JL16. It's a lot of battery power for the humble calculator

of that size though. It could be a scientific one. You can run Doom on those things. Yeah, true. You can do all

sorts. Yes, I mean, look, Paco Superpuissance has never been sent in before in that combination so that is a brand new player. So welcome to the battery daddy GL16.

The confusingly named GL16. It's a new player. We've got one out of three this week. Lovely stuff. All right, well, thank you for getting in touch. If you find a battery,

we want to hear about it. Hello at LukeandPeteShaw.com And if it's a really obvious one, send it in anyway, but give us the story. Send us a picture of your dog. Because sometimes sometimes

it's the friends that we make along the way. Exactly. That's what it's all about. We'll be back on Monday with some wonderful tales about Scampi. I'm just looking at the emails. We've got Candy Floss and also Iron Mints to a manager.

Bit of Bruce Dickinson there. Bit of Bruce Dickinson as well. So we'll be back on Monday with all of that twaddle. In the meantime, all that remains for me to say is goodbye and also goodbye from you, Lukey Moe, yeah? Yeah, go away and get yourself some sleep, Peter, and then we'll see you on Monday. Ta-ta.
