it's the luke and pete shaw it is monday the 21st of august um nearly a month away from luke moore's
birthday i'm pete donaldson uh i'm joined by uh mr lukey Moe. Lukey Moe, how the devil are you?
I'm very well, thank you.
People will remember on Thursday,
I told you my birthday.
I guarantee you can't remember now.
It's 21st, wasn't it?
21st?
No, 22nd?
22nd of September?
Yes, it was. Unbelievable.
You told me it was September.
I remembered September.
Because I don't know.
20th of September.
20th of September.
It's in there.
We're recording this episode
straight after the fucking last one.
It's not even like
it's four days in between.
Because I'll never,
why?
Why do I need that information?
You don't know when I'm born.
It doesn't matter, does it?
It comes up on Facebook memories
and then you fucking write it
and go,
happy birthday, bro.
April 30th, 1981.
Yeah, now you know.
And I saw you typing.
You might be on my Wikipedia.
I can't hear.
There's no way your birthday's on your Wikipedia you shouldn't even have a Wikipedia
I forgot about your anti-Wikipedia agenda
oh actually your birthday is actually on your Wikipedia
and it's accurate
do you know
brave
do you know that
I always start thinking of stuff like that
like why don't people just put on their birthdays
that don't move up a year
because then they go
well this could have been updated any time
yeah what I didn't realise by the way you voiced a character in a video game in 2008 on their birthdays that don't move up a year because they go, well, this could have been updated any time.
What I didn't realise, by the way, you voiced a character in a video game in 2008.
Very much for no money
and it was very much
an amateur concern, let's say.
Mind you, the one
the one, the journey,
what was it called, the journey beyond, the journey down,
the journey down, that was
had a commercial release, I think.
The other one was just like a fan game for the video game
released by Sierra in the 90s.
Your Wikipedia page is quite interesting.
It's the first time I've read it.
There's loads of stuff going on.
Loads of stuff going on.
What's in there?
Apparently in December, it was 12th December 2019,
you announced you were leaving Absolute Radio.
Yeah, I remember that.
I remember that date.
It's a couple of paragraphs about Wrestle Me.
Nice to see.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
You've got a whole section for podcasts.
Well, I should do.
I do a lot of them, don't I?
Yeah, you do.
If anything, that's the thing.
So when I ranted about the British Podcast Awards
a few weeks ago,
the thing that was in my mind
about the Podcast Champion Awards,
one of the things they do,
is I was thinking to myself,
you should be fucking, Donaldson should win that.
Donaldson should be awarded that.
He's been doing podcasting more than anyone else.
You've been doing podcasting longer than me.
Yeah, but am I bringing anyone to the party?
Am I bringing anyone in?
Turning people off, if anything.
What's the, who wins those sort of things?
But it's like.
Well, fucking Fern Cotton won it, wasn't he?
But you know what I mean?
That's.
Two years in the game.
Yeah, but I would say that
with stuff like that,
there needs to be...
It's hard, though, isn't it?
Well, you don't want to say anything
because you're a judge at the moment
and I think you should say something.
What do you mean?
I've literally said all of the things
that you said.
We said it on WrestleMania last week
because we were both in the...
The two hosts of WrestleMe was something like 40%
of the Grand Prix judging team.
And yet, WrestleMe can't get a nomination
and never have been able to.
No, I've said the exact same things that you said.
What I would say is that the very idea of competition is ridiculous.
Anything like that is, by its very nature, fucking ridiculous.
And it's always going to, and it's stupid,
and it's just a money-making exercise,
and it always has been, and it always will be.
And until the Stack Awards start,
the Stack-A-Boar Here We Go Awards,
and that's the...
I'd probably never, that's a great tune, by the way.
That's the title, actually.
I know.
I fucking wouldn't be one of them.
Yeah.
And that would be funny.
Yeah.
That would be the funniest thing that could happen.
Do you know that Stack-A-Bow,
who did Here We Go,
that tune in 1993,
he then later...
This is a mad bit of trivia
and I know this because I randomly
digressing here, this is a Luke and Pete show
you know what you're fucking getting into
award not winning
forget the intro
a while ago I was
going through, I was trying to put together a little
playlist for a friend of mine because we had this
legendary compilation tape
in my very first car
and I was thinking of all the songs that we had on there
and I was trying to put them together for a playlist.
And one of them was Here We Go by Stacker Bo.
Yeah.
Amazing 1993 pop hit.
Kind of a little bit of a rap type number.
Anyway, if you haven't heard it, listen to it.
It's very of its time, but it's pleasing.
Stacker Bo is Swedish.
Did you know that?
Oh, right.
Okay.
So it was a bit more Europop than I thought.
Guess what he does now.
He's a music executive.
That's probably not true, is it?
Emmy award-winning director.
Nice, like that.
Directed Chernobyl.
Oh, beautiful.
That's fantastic.
Yeah.
What a career arc.
The guy who did the rapping in Stack-a-bo, Here We Go?
Yeah.
Ah.
Correct.
Here we go again.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba- here we go again that guy his name his real name
is johan renk um and he was a um a music guy back in the day obviously he was doing a lot of euro
dance stuff they could sell us any old shit back then couldn't we couldn't they yeah i mean they
still do but good god and then through through that he got into music video directing. And then through that, he got into TV directing.
And he got found, he was discovered by, I think I'm right in saying Vince Gilligan.
Right.
And he went and directed three episodes of Breaking Bad.
And then did some Walking Dead stuff.
And then he did Chernobyl.
Awesome.
That's so cool.
So basically, fucking Stack-A- Here we go. Directed like three episodes
of Breaking Bad.
Which I just think is an incredible bit of trivia. Yeah.
It's good stuff that. Very enjoyable. That's the kind of thing
you learn on this show. Anyway Peter, what
have you been up to? What's been going on? Talk to me. What has been
going on? I don't know man
I've just been sort of
trying to find
at the last minute someone who can look after
little Sammy boy.
And we shouldn't go too focused on dogs on the podcast.
But the stress of putting your firstborn, in my lifetime, son through into a place where they could sort of chill out while you're on holiday.
That's actually quite stressful.
What will you do?
Do you not get someone to come and dog
sit yeah half well not really they really have to be around their house and we've sort of we've
we've worked we're working with a couple of people on on on house sitting uh not house sitting on on
them going around the house but um they're at one point uh for a little gap we got to put them in a
um a kennels but it's not really like a kennels as i would understand it it's this
kind of very essex-y and in fact it's been on the only ways essex um bougie um kennels where
everyone's got like it's basically like a hotel room for a dog yeah and they've got how much is
it and they've got their own 20 quid a day like not expensive. And they've got their own telly. Each little pod's got their own telly.
And they've also got loads of soft furnishings.
And then they've got a chandelier each.
What the fuck?
Is that near where you live?
The scene is so typically Essex.
Yeah, just around the corner.
I'm really impressed.
I want to stay there.
I've seen the place that Jules puts Pablo, her dog, in.
And she gets a video every day of what he's been up to.
Honestly, it's like a little fucking hotel.
I mean, if you've got like 15 dogs a day,
that starts to creep up a little bit.
Overheads would be high, though.
Like what? Dog food? What do you mean? like i mean if you've got 15 dogs a day you said they're charging 20 quid a day i think that's i think that's the business for the small for the smaller
smaller dogs but i would say that like oh well you get charged different amounts but now big
the dog well i mean there's smaller space rather i think and then there are there are and i think
they only take sort of medium-sized dogs but but I just think it's one of those kind of companies
that you think would be very low bar of entry for that kind of business.
Anything dog-walky, anything kind of like,
I'm going to make a boutique shop on the high street with clothes I've made.
It's all just very low bar, apart from a bit of capital,
and they always go to the wall within about a year,
and it's just a vanity business. Surely those's surely there's insurance insurance costs would be high wouldn't
they um i don't really know to be honest i mean you only have to kill one dog and you're you're
just tossed aren't you really i suppose so i mean i mean as long as you're good at it as long as
you're like as long as you're just careful and stuff and and you are committed to it rather than
just using it as a money-making exercise but But I would say, like, if, like,
you get all these dogs together,
you've really, you've got to spend a lot of time with them.
And, I don't know, I just think that,
and through, like, August and September,
obviously very popular because of school holidays and stuff,
but then anywhere else in the year,
you're not going to have a full complement of dogs in your house.
So you've got to sort of feather your nest for that, so to speak.
This is like an ironic point you're making
because in the background my cat is meowing.
Sounds like he needs to go to a kennel.
There's nothing I can do about it
because my wife's looking after our son,
so he's going to have to just meow in the background.
That's all right.
What's he up to?
Has he found a little corn on the cob?
He needs one.
So you'll be off to Japan for a couple of weeks or whatever?
Yeah.
You just fill up.
I was thinking you'd give us some food, see if it shuts them up.
Yeah, I'm off to Japan.
I don't really want to say what I've booked in for Chambers,
but I have very much booked a few things in that I think she's going to like,
but there's a very good chance she's not going to like them.
So she does listen to the show, in my opinion,
to shout at me because of the things I say
and the secrets I impart about my life and her life.
Luke's back.
He didn't hear any of that.
But, yeah, Luke.
Sorry about that.
I'm back.
I was just telling the listeners.
I can't like this.
What?
I was just telling the listeners that I've booked a few bits and bobs to do in Tokyo,
but I'm a little bit concerned
that she won't like some of them.
Sarah's first visit, right?
Sarah's first visit.
She did a stopover night.
Lots to take in.
Lots to take in.
Very busy.
It's not really her vibe.
She's not a city person.
It's got all the hallmarks
of being an absolute relationship destroyer
but
but I'm not going to say
what I've booked in
which is your nickname isn't it
a bit annoying
what I've booked in
what I've booked in
and I'll speak about it
when I get back
but I've booked a few things
that may upset her
may excite her
I just don't know
and you can't see Chris Barrow
because he's coming over here
at the same time
amazing planning
yeah amazing planning
by him
not me
let's make that very clear
so I'm not having that
just a bit of communication
just a bit of comms
yeah from him
yeah from him
exactly correct
hey
that's not how you
address him anymore
he is
Sunday Times
bestseller
Chris Broad
I'll probably just
call him Chris
by the way can I change the subject ever so slightly
but not that much
you know because you and Chris are both kind of
internet guys
how are you feeling about this Zuckerberg Musk
cage fight
what's the play here
what's the hack they're doing that we don't get
what's the 3D chess they're doing that we don't get
I mean I guess with
Musk the thing with him he's he's very uh you know he tries to be pretend
that he's a big dog but he's just a bit a bit of a wet wet fish really yeah and you see do you know
it feels like to me it feels like you know they say that thing about back in the day if the king
ever had to utter the words i am the king he was fucked yeah
yeah elon musk seems to do that all the time yeah i mean yeah i mean you said that on the ramble uh
when when uh just before you'd said um what is wrong with you today you feel you seem angry and
sad um and it's very hard to respond to that yeah it's very hard to you have been you have been a
while but you were i wasn't but i what but i wasn't but it's very hard when someone says you're angry or you're sad or you're
hungry to show you to say you're not when you know when an overbearing man is saying you're sad and
i'm going i'm not sad i'm happy if you're not i don't think you are you know me i'll never leave
a can of worms on open so that's fine by I actually, if you want to tell the full story,
I actually said you're acting like a dickhead.
Right.
Didn't I?
And you said, no, I'm not.
And I said, no, you are.
And I said that you were doing it on Monday
and you're doing it now.
And then you go...
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
And this, people, is the environment.
We have to create radio shows.
We have to create podcasts. This is the environment. Well have to create radio shows. We have to create podcasts.
This is the environment.
Well, I'm not going to go into the behaviour that you exhibited
to make me say that, because that's not fair on you,
because no one was there, and it's like there's no point going down that road.
And I massively disagree with it.
I just didn't walk in and go, you're a dickhead.
You turned up a little tired, so we locked horns.
Now you're doing what you just said
so it's very
when someone says to you
you're just tired
it's very hard to show
that you're not tired
I wasn't tired
you said you were tired
look
we're both tired boys
for different reasons
that society
let's do our own cage fight
society sometimes
society sometimes
I think I'm the Zuckerberg
in this fight
I think
sadly
if we had a fight
I've got
the only chance I've got
is to nail you
within about 30 seconds
after that
I'm completely
fucking knackered
yeah I'm gassing
down the stretch
big time
I would say
so with this
Zuckerberg fight
Zuckerberg has
hilariously
massively called him
on his bluff
and
yeah
because Zuckerberg
has been quietly
going about doing
Jiu Jitsu a lot
yeah
and he seems to be
quite good at it
and so I would say
that Musk is just not in any way athletic he looks like a little slug worm boy um and yeah and
and i just i just think he's absolutely outmaneuvered him and musk has been forced to sort
of say that he's got a bad neck best pr to ever happen to zuckerberg yeah i mean you tie yourself
to someone who's
even worse than you and now you look great well it came out of nowhere didn't it sort of giving
it the big licks giving it the uh giving it the um i'm gonna i'm gonna kick your ass i just i i
don't know where this came from i don't know why zuckerberg offered it up but i just did do think
that zuckerberg feels like he's kind of like in the pantheon of of quite underwhelming new money
he's old money do you know what i mean like he made his yeah he made his name they probably He's kind of like in the pantheon of quite underwhelming new money.
He's old money.
Do you know what I mean?
Like he made his name.
They probably made their money around about the same time,
but he's been a public figure.
No one knew who Musk was then, did they?
And he only kind of became famous because of the space stuff, I suppose,
and the car stuff.
I don't really know.
Why is it?
Here's a question for you.
Elon Musk is obviously a complete fucking knob, right?
No question about that.
Take a cursory glance
at his personal life. Look at how
he conducts himself. You don't need
to be convinced of that unless you're one of his
weird fanboys, and really, I'm
not really talking to them.
Why has he been able to be so successful?
I'll tell you.
I guess we spoke about this before, but it's...
But I still don't feel like I know.
I don't know how he's been able to do it.
He did the whole PayPal thing, didn't he?
That was his...
Have you ever listened to that podcast series
by the guy with the amazing voice?
Is it called Twitter vs Elon Musk?
Right, okay.
It's a really interesting it's called
flipping the bird it's a wondery series flipping the bird elon versus twitter and it's presented
by the guy who does i think business wars for wondery he's fucking great he's really good
he's an amazing voice amazing presenter and i listened to that series um it's about fucking
i don't know eight or ten episodes long and it's got amazing access to the
people at twitter of quite senior positions and their experiences of elon's work at twitter
to the point where they've got audio of like meetings and stuff yeah okay and he is just
unbelievably incompetent like unbelievably unprofessional like he he would do it all hands at twitter
which is thousands of people all around the world and not have any answers to any questions and all
i'm saying is clearly he can't have applied that kind of attitude to the stuff he's done before
so he's either capable of doing it and he doesn't want to do it with twitter yeah because he's lost
his mind or he's just the luckiest man in the world. But, I mean, I guess he kind of, he's clearly, you know,
a talented developer and, you know, he was around
about the right time to do it.
But I would say he kind of prospered in spite of his own input
rather than because of it.
You know, he's very much, he clearly had other people
in the company because we've seen from his behaviour afterwards.
There was a bit where there was a guy interviewing him
in front of one of his big rockets
and they sort of...
Get me in front of the big rocket.
Get me in front of the big rocket.
I'll do it in front of the big rocket.
Why don't you do it this way?
And it seemed like they were using language
that I kind of understood
so it made me sort of think
that it possibly wasn't the most advanced chat in the world and musk couldn't help but sort of go uh uh no because uh
oh um yeah maybe we'll try that which right in any other sphere would be like oh good that that's
really um great that he can listen to someone who presumably isn't part of his
orbit and you know the best people
have the best people around them but he did
sort of seem like he didn't really know
what's going on
I was going to say about the rocket
I mean I guess that's very much
how rockets get launched but yeah
weird. It's all bluster
it feels like it's all bluster
anyway I don't know what we're talking about. I'd love to see him weird it's all bluster it feels like it's all bluster yeah anyway
anyway
I don't know what we're talking about
I'd love to see him fight
I'd love to see him have a fucking fight
because why not
well because his whole brand
is about snowflakery
and being the big dog in the yard
and shit like that
and memery
and just seeing him
get his neck broken
by a little skinny man
would be really funny
Zuckerberg's already kicked him
to the curb hasn't he?
So he's not serious.
Forget it.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Can't be arsed.
Stop being stupid.
He's quite interesting.
And Musk is clearly just,
you know,
so toxic.
He'll just be thinking about it.
But the best thing is,
you know,
that's all he'll be thinking about.
There won't have been any,
there won't have been any
all hands of the pump meetings
in the last couple of weeks.
This is all he would have been thinking about.
And his public perception.
It's like, mate, no one likes you.
And this isn't going to make it any better.
These people just want to be liked, don't they?
I think that about Piers Morgan.
Piers Morgan, he just wants to be accepted as a football fan.
And that's why we must never accept him.
Because he's got everything else he wants.
Well, that's what I mean.
You build your empire doing terrible things.
I'm not necessarily talking about Morgan here, but. You build your empire doing terrible things. I'm not necessarily talking about Morgan here,
but obviously you build your empire doing terrible things.
And then you sort of go,
oh, the one thing I can't buy is love.
They just sort of spend their time
trying to roll back all of the terrible things they've done.
The one thing to credit Morgan,
if you're going to be nuanced about it,
because he's clearly awful,
but the one thing to credit him
is that when he was doing that Good Morning Britain show,
he showed his skill as a journalist, right?
So he actually did a pretty good job
at holding political figures to account
and didn't take any shit from them live on telly
and was like, well, I'm not having this.
And he was properly combative, which is what we need.
And he showed up, actually. I thought, because he's quite an unfashionable guy and
because he's a quite dislikable guy and i totally understand that he actually showed how skillful he
is at doing that kind of stuff when compared to other people mostly who work for the bbc who've
got a reputation as being really good at it he made them look fucking silly so that's the only
thing i would say credits him everything else has
been abysmal it's good stuff in america is good as well not upset the right people i would say but
then oh yeah but i didn't but i didn't the thing is i didn't really my impression of that i understand
what you're saying that my impression of that was that he didn't quite take the time to kind of
learn about the nuances of the stuff he was talking
about which made it like it was almost
completely performative
but everyone on Fox
is performative
everyone on CNN
everyone on every TV network
is performative and
I would say with him
he just sort of
saw the Shapiros and the Milos of this world he just sort of saw the Shapiros
and the Milos of this world and just sort of thought,
look, that's the way that the grift is going.
Let's start talking like an insane person for a bit.
It's annoying for you because you've been doing that for 20 years.
I know, right?
But then he sort of pulls back from it a little bit,
pumps the brakes a little bit when it becomes a bit more unpalatable
and he gets his feet under the table at GMB.
So I think it was definitely done
for a man who you wouldn't imagine
doing a cynical move
and then rowing back from it
to get his feet under the ITV breakfast.
And what's his reward now, Peter?
So far.
A gig on talk TV.
Is that what he's doing now?
Good God.
Yeah.
It's just, these places aren't going to be around.
It's very hard to stay motivated when you know.
No one's watching.
You know in your heart that no one's watching.
Yeah.
I would better resist just fucking doing the swear word.
Because no one's watching.
Do you know what I mean?
Do you remember when we had the ramble and no one listened to it?
You could do whatever
you wanted
it was like
and you didn't give a shit
because there was no
stakes
it's an incredible
position to be in
presumably he's been
putting down quite a lot
of money for doing that
as well
but like you say
that won't last
anyway
let's have a break
and when we come back
we'll do a couple of emails
because we did promise
on Thursday
we would do something
I think we should
squeeze some in Peter
if that's alright with you
it's the Lugo PTR
I'm Pete Donaldson
during that advertorial
we spoke a little bit
about boxing
we both watched the
boxing at the weekend
didn't we
I mean a long time
I fell asleep actually
I watched some of it
good stuff
my son actually went
to sleep
and I was like
oh if I could watch
all the boxing
literally at 9.30
I was like
absolutely dead
yeah good stuff woke up with that because I took a principal stand against praying for it oh, if I could watch all the boxing. And then literally at 9.30, I was like... Absolutely dead, yeah. Good stuff.
Woke up with that...
Because I took a principled stand against praying for it
because of all the stuff that's been going on at the moment.
Normally I do pay because I want to acknowledge the fact
the fighters are doing what they're doing.
But I took a stream this time around
and then you helped me get a stream
and I woke up to the stream just not doing anything.
Yeah, I think with that fight at the weekend
and it was a weird one because obviously,
when did he get replaced?
Was it the day before, the week before?
Like the actual fight?
Yeah, it was maybe a week or so before.
Right, and because of a failed drugs test or something.
But I just think that's a very,
I mean, I think they gave people the opportunity
to give their tickets back for money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you'd imagine that.
And they took it off pay-per-view as well.
Right, okay.
Oh, that makes sense.
Does...
Because it seemed to, like,
Joshua's fights seem to start very late.
Does boxing usually start about 11?
I'm just thinking getting on from the O2,
which is a bit of a nightmare.
Yeah, definitely.
There's a few reasons, I would say,
off the top of my head.
One is that you don't have a forensic idea
of when the fights are going to finish.
So they have floating bouts that they put in at gaps.
Because for example, if someone loses in the first round,
the other, obviously,
the boxer just can't say,
all right, yeah, I'll fight now then.
They have to go through a routine to get ready.
So I think what tends to happen
is there's such a lot of moving parts
that it does tend to get moved further back.
And also, if a big boxer is doing a ring walk,
say the main undercard fight, the support fight, is a big name,
you can't really make them hurry their ring walk
and get ready when they're supposed to go.
So it's just not an exact science.
And then coupled with that, I get the impression that,
and I'm not an expert on this at all, I'm just an enthusiast really,
but I get the impression that they think the later in the night they can do it,
the more people in America will watch.
Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah, you sort of get that a lot,
obviously, with British performances
of wrestling quite a lot.
I bet.
I would, I've become very obsessed
in the last, I'm going to say day,
and that's all it takes for me,
with Big Bang. Big Bang, X'm going to say day, and that's all it takes for me, with Big Bang.
Big Bang.
Zhi Lei Zhang.
What's that?
Big Chinese chap.
Oh, the big Chinese fighter.
Big Chinese guy.
And I feel like
getting excited about that man
at this point in his career
seems like...
He's 40.
I mean, he's 40 years old.
He's 40 years old.
It's, I don't think
I've caught him at his best.
But he... Well, you say that, but he's just beaten Joe. It's, I don't think I've caught him at his best. But he...
Well, you say that, but he's just beaten Joe Joyce.
Well, he's...
Which is the biggest, biggest win of his career.
His fucking eye, man.
Joe Joyce's eye went like so, like, he couldn't see anything.
Like, there's just no possibility.
Isn't that weird that your face just suddenly, like, you'd think that Joe Joyce's, like, would be incompatible.
If his eye had
the capacity to do that it would have happened before and good god it went so big and just they
just had to stop stop it it's a really interesting story because joe joyce um is seen as a you know
a british heavyweight prospect like he's no spring chicken himself i think he's like 37 but he started
his professional career quite late right he started professional career like when he was in his early
to mid 30s early 30s i think wow and then he had a So he started his professional career when he was in his early to mid-30s, early 30s, I think.
And then he had a massive,
he was undefeated until he lost to Zhilei Zhang
earlier this year.
But he had a massive domestic bust-up
with Daniel Dubois,
who he wasn't expecting.
So Daniel Dubois is now fighting Alexander Yusik
for all the belts.
Right.
I think in a week or two.
But anyway, Daniel Dubois was this kind of really well-fancied heavyweight prospect himself.
A massive domestic bust-up of him and Joe Joyce.
Against all the odds, Joe Joyce beat him by doing exactly to him what Xie Lijian has just done to Joe Joyce.
Right, okay.
Busting his eye up to the point where he couldn't see.
Yeah.
Dubois had like a proper fraction, it was a fracture of his orbital bone around his eye. To the point where I don't see. Dubois had like a proper fraction it was a fracture of his
orbital bone around his eye to the point
where I don't think they knew if he could fight again but I think
obviously he can now.
It's quite a common injury in boxing
it's horrific. I mean
Kell Brook had a really bad
one to Gennady Golovkin
who's a really heavy handed middleweight
to the point where people were saying
you cannot be fighting again with that. I mean he busted the bone around his eye about four times and you
know they still wants to fight yeah they still want to get surgery and fight again it's just
it's it's not great i don't think it's great for the pr of boxing to be honest but then fighters
if it's all they know and they fight their whole life and they get told they suddenly can't do it
anymore i guess it brings its own problems and i think the surgery is so good these
days they put like a plate in there and stuff like that that it does sort of that's cheating
i was thinking that probably isn't it so i think i think joe joyce and zhi dai zhang have got a
rematch because i think joe joyce had the um yeah had it at clause in the contract so i mean you
will get to see the big man, Big Bang, fighting again soon.
Six foot six and 40 years old,
just smashing people up. It's good stuff.
It really is.
So, yeah.
Let's squeeze an email in before we go, Peter.
Do you want Mark or do you want Greg?
Can I get Mark, please?
You can get Mark.
Mark says, hello, Luke and Pete.
Mark from the Bay Area here.
I was listening to last week's episode
and I was wanting to add a story related to your chat
about food delivery drivers.
Luke was bragging his driver had picked up the food in seven minutes.
However, I wanted to tell you the legendary DoorDash driver whose name is Lockvinder.
I mean, Lockvinder is a great name.
Mark says it was about a year ago and I'd just come home from a long day of work and I couldn't be bothered to cook anything.
So like any good all-American citizen, I ordered like to play games with you, please,
because I love playing games online and I've got no friends.
So let's talk about that.
Mark says, before I could even accept the game invite,
I was sent a notification my food was on the way.
It had been three minutes.
I couldn't believe it.
Lockvinder posted up and as soon as the food was ready,
he hit the road like an Olympic sprinter.
Now for context, my house at the time was about two and a half miles
away from the restaurant which isn't far except when you realize the shop is on a busy expressway
with many stoplights that constantly turn what should be a quick journey into a stop and go slog
this means that on average it usually takes me about 15 minutes depending on traffic to go from
mcdonald's to my house yet despite this lockvinder left the restaurant within minutes of the order and I received the food
within eight minutes.
I don't know how he did it
or what road laws
he must have broken,
but at the time
it felt like a gift from God
that was expressly delivered
straight to my doorstep.
And to top it all off,
the food was fresh
and steaming hot.
It was exactly what I needed
after a long day of work.
Anyway, thanks for the pod
and the great hours
of entertainment,
Mark from the Bay Area.
So in summary,
Mark has ordered McDonald's
on the American equivalent of Deliveroo.
And from placing confirm your order
to it coming to his house was eight minutes.
If anyone can beat that,
I'll need to see proof.
Yeah, I mean, Lock of Indah,
this is where the cult of Lock of Indah begins,
really, isn't it?
Because we have the power to create legends we have
the power to make to create gods i think here on the little beach apex apex legend apex legends
lock of inder i think he i think he deserves credit i think if he if he ever finds the time
to listen to an episode of the luke and pete show while he's on his deliveries um he should know
that he has friends in us he's welcome in this community although I wouldn't recommend he does listen while he's doing his deliveries
because he should be listening to the traffic sounds around you.
When I'm cycling into the office,
I am stunned regularly by the amount of cyclists using noise-canceling headphones.
Headphones, yeah.
At least have the ones that don't noise-cancel, for crying out loud.
Yeah.
It's crazy to do that.
It's so dangerous.
And some of them have got helmets on either.
Unbelievable.
Dangerous.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, we will get to Greg's email next time around, helmets on either dangerous anyway we will get to
Greg's email
next time round
I'm sure
or we will get to it
at some point
Greg
so stay patient
thank you for emailing
it
it's in the running order
it's made it through
the very very strict
producer Rory
filtering process
so it's on there
it will get read out
at some point
stay patient
but yeah
thank you to Mark
for that story
