The Luke and Pete Show - The Gaviscon Cartel

Episode Date: November 13, 2023

Pete almost got in a fight on his most recent weekend away. To be fair, it serves him right for going somewhere that wasn’t an indie bar.The lads then prove they are definitely too old for fighting as they discuss their favourite antacids and we read an email from a listener who visited the big Vegas sphere. It turns out Pete's prediction about the sphere has already come true...Want to get in touch with the show?

Rogers. it's the luke and p show i am ptd my friend with me is lukey moore and he's here to tell you about his weekend hello hello ptd that's not a rebrand by you is it? you tried to rebrand yourself to PD for a while no

I'm in I'm in witness protection Luke I over the weekend I went to well it's the last weekend now we're recording it I went to

Dortmund Luke oh yeah I did something that I've not done in about 20 years not go to an indie bar? no I managed to find

Happy Ding Dong the one that you I recommended that one I googled it for you it's a good little bar that they were having a big sweepstake as to how many goals Dortmund would beat

Bayern Munich by and one man got it right in the reverse yeah okay 4-0 lovely oh dear but yeah

went to Happy Ding Dong had a good time I got I nearly got into a a brawl Luke nearly got into a brawl, Luke. Nearly got into a mano-a-mano fight on the streets of Dortmund. What on earth happened? You're a very mild-mannered, polite man.

I'm a very... Is it an arsehole fan? We were in this place and this man was sort of just falling into people. And so, in summary, could have taken him well easy. He was drunk. He probably didn't. He bounced off my mate and my mate said, all right, mate, can you stop leaning on me?

Like, this is insane. Is this inside the bar, yeah? Inside the bar. And so he's just bothering my mate, and my mate's going, and like, my mate can take care of himself. He's from Aberdeen. He'd have a go.

Is he a British guy, this guy, or a German? German guy, German. A very drunk German guy. Yeah, but he's in his own country. I mean, you give him a little bit of slack. What are you doing there? What do you mean? I was just, well, not falling on people, clearly.

So my friend said, don't do that like can you can you just step back a bit and then he starts starting on him basically right and then he tries to and so craig tries to talk him around to calm down uh he lets slip that uh that uh that one over there's a newcastle fan he's a big dartmond fan um and so he turns his attentions onto me. He's picking on the smallest little runt. He's picking on the smallest little... Well, pretty much the same size, to be honest. Which is rare, I think, in a party of three.

And he starts going, you like that Arab money, do you? Me and you, why aren't you here? I'm not here on Tuesday. I'm not going home. Why are you here? You and me. State of Tuesday. You and me. and i was like i i don't know what you're saying you're sat like this ends mad to be fair he's doing it in the second language he is doing

exactly that was the worst thing yeah that was the worst thing anyway so um i couldn't really hear him and i was like look i i need to straighten this out but i can't fucking hear him is this in happy happy bang bang this This is in Happy Happy Bang Bang. It was a different bar. It was a nice bar. It wasn't like that sort of bar, but it was like... Anyway, I said, come on, let's go outside. Oh, that's the last thing you want to be saying.

You're either going to fight him or fuck him. I know, I tried to get things square, but I took the guy outside, which then he wants to fight I'm like oh fuck this is what people do when they have a fight they take them outside what you should have said is can we all just agree that for now we're all going to stay inside but you did the opposite

to that can we just put our hands in our pockets and make sure that those hands stay inside those pockets did he put his dukes up he didn't put his dukes up He's just becoming more and more, like, just nonsensical. And so,

I just weaseled out of it, like, I weaseled out of everything. So you pushed him into the road in front of a big car. His head went pop. So what do you reckon he's doing now? Probably,

probably having a fight in the street with a Newcastle fan. He was, yeah, he was, he was just being a bit, he was just being a bit of an idiot. But it really soured, like, A, a great weekend, and B, my feelings on Dortmund fans.

So my feeling about German football fans generally is they're all really lovely. They love a beer and a sausage, and they all smell like farts. I mean, they would. I mean, to be fair, I ate so many sausages. I was burping all evening. But it was like the sort of Alan Partridge gas burps. Yeah, not good.

Did you have your Rennies with you or not? Say again? Did you have your Rennies with you or not? I've always got my Gaviscon with me. It didn't help. I mean, it might have helped maybe, but just the burps were just coming thick and fast. It was like proper stinky stuff.

So apologies, everyone. were just coming thick and fast it was like proper stinky stuff um when i went to everyone i went to um i went for to a pub for a lunch um a couple weeks ago out of town with a friend and um i got a cab from the train station to this little town because there was no train station and um got the cab driver dropped me and my mate off outside a pub on a little high street. There was loads of people sat outside. It was quite a nice day. And as I got out of the cab, a couple of things fell out of my pocket. One was my wallet.

And then the other thing was St. Kell's in this, like, foil packet. And so there was three or four, like, quite attractive women, like, younger than me, sat on this table outside the pub. And they were all very pleasant. And one of them sort of bent over and picked up this thing for me. or four like quite attractive women like younger than me sat on this table outside the pub and they were all very pleasant and one of them sort of bent over and picked up this thing for me yeah she went oh you've dropped your chewing gum that's all thanks so it's not actually chewing gum they're um they're rennies yeah and she was like what and she was literally like what i saw they're rennies when you get to my age and you're gonna go out for lunch and go for a few beers you can't really leave the house without these or you're going to be going home early.

They all just like laughed. Did you pat your belly? And I laughed as well. But then afterwards, I felt like it was a little bit depressing. Because I'm 43 now. There's nothing wrong with... Yeah, but I've been leaving the house with Auntie... Yeah, but I'm not trying to be anything I'm not.

I'm a very happily married man. I'm just saying there was a time in my life where, you know, mid-20s, that would have been an opportunity to start up a conversation. About Rennies? Like going, guys... I wouldn't have had the Rennies, would I? Let me talk to you about calcium carbonate. I'll river with them.

It probably would have been a six-pack of extra large Johnnies. Stuff with Rennies. Yeah, yeah. I was looking after for someone else. That you swallow and it explodes in your stomach like a big grenade. Back in my mid-twenties, I was a drug mule in the Buckinghamshire area. For the Gaviscon cartel. So what makes you choose Gaviscon over Rennie then?

I don't know. Rennie pisses about too much. Gaviscon's just got a bit more... They've got that kind of pink layer. The little firemen come out in your gullet and start spraying their spaff all over the place, don't they? Are they known as being more powerful

in terms of their efficacy? I don't know. I mean, Rennie's are very much, it's your last case, kind of like, I'm drinking a milkshake from a Polish supermarket on Holloway Road kind of vibe for me. I mean, if you haven't controlled it with the preventative antacids, you're just asking for trouble, to be honest. So maybe I'm not using Rennie mean, if you haven't controlled it with the preventative antacids, you're just asking for trouble,

to be honest. So maybe I'm not using ready-curellity there because I don't use them preventatively. I just use them whenever I feel a little bit of the old heartburn. Yeah. No, I mean, I think...

It tastes so chalky and delicious as well. It is. I just have a preventative one in the afternoon if I know I'm going to have a few beers. Right. Get yourself a... What do you call them?

Can't remember. But it's purple. Nexium, I think, was the one that I use at a push. So our American friends would basically call it Pepto-Bismar, I think, wouldn't they? No, no. It's like Zantac. Those kind of ones that are kind of like, they'd use Zantac, I think. Which is something that I was a big fan of until I discovered, I think, that they had cancerous items in them.

Just check that at the start, lads. Cancerous items? Cancerous items. They couldn't guarantee that none of these things had cancer in them. Excuse me, my fine purveyor of products, various products. Could you confirm a lack of cancerous items in this product? Cancer? Any danger?

So am I using Rene? Is Rene kind of a... I keep saying Rene, which is like the main character in Hello, Hello. Is Rene, would you say, a gateway drug then for that kind of thing? Yeah, I would use

preventative ones rather than... Yeah, that would pull you in, I suppose. But they are more carryable. Gaviscon come in massive packets and they're unnecessarily large. In no other area of my life am I eating something so chalky, though.

It's just a real pleasure to eat something of that consistency. Sherbet? Sherbet's pretty chalky. Do I look like I'm eating fucking sherbet? Yes. You've got a hoodie on. It's all down your front. I don't think I've eaten sherbet for 15 plus years

Right I've got heartburn What the fuck am I eating sherbet? That's the thing All my major food groups create heartburn Sausages, grease I got heartburn about a month ago from a bottle of sparkling water It's bad

I've stopped using my soda stream for that I've even like Because I used to go, when I play football, I'd take a, I'd fizz up a Peter's Special Brew, I call it. Yeah, go on, tell us more about that. Well, it's just like, normally... It's just Special Brew Extra Fizzy. Normally, will it blend?

They put, like, do you remember, will it blend? They just put, like, iPhones in a big blender. God, that takes me back to nowhere. Yeah, they'd have, like like a bottle of um on the old soda stream uh you'd uh you'd uh pump uh you'd pump a couple of times and then and then it'll go when the gasket has been breached that there's enough sort of um stuff in there i'd give it a few more pumps for pete's special brew and it's just very very aggressive um fizzy water uh but it does give you kind of a harbour when you're running around the football field.

That's disappointing that it's basically just fizzy water. I thought you were going to put all sorts of ingredients in there. Yeah, yeah, I guess so. I do like a sodas stream. There was a... I mean, this might explain a lot. So I drink a little bit... I drink like Pepsi Max cherry a fair amount.

Right? Right. And at one point... Are you not fearful of the old, not the free radicals, what's the thing that, I mean the cancer thing, is that...

Spartan, mate. Seems to be still on the shelves, isn't it? Spartan, mate. It's a fucking old wives' tale, Spartan, mate, if you can. There was this thing like quite recently, like in the last couple of months where they went,

doctors went, yeah. But I think it's for people who drink so much. Just a general doctor doesn't know fuck all about that. I wasn't talking to a general doctor. It was a proper study. They went, yeah, it probably is, actually. No, if you're talking about aspartame, it's the most tested ingredient in history, isn't it?

Next to... What was the... It wasn't uh i think i heard on the podcast uh the um what's the stuff that they put on chinese food that's really delicious msg msg um that like the study was just all about it was was great it was was after a man um a scientist just went out and got pissed had had some Chinese food, and said that he just didn't feel very well. It was all based on a drunk man's kind of proposition that he didn't feel very well.

There's nothing actually wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with it. There never has been anything wrong with it. To follow up on the aspartame thing that you're talking about, I believe you're talking about, I've just looked it up, World Health Organization released something in July. Yes, that's the one.

It's perfectly safe unless you drink, based on an adult weighing 70 kilos would need to consume more than 14 cans a day to exceed the acceptable daily intake i think you're gonna have bigger problems if you that's the thing if you're drinking that much i think you're gonna have bigger problems it's like the boy you uh i saw one lad the only thing he's ever eaten is like um chicken nuggets yeah it's like oh god it's not ideal is it it's just gonna say on the soda stream chat that um so i was doing the weekly shop a while back and i saw a soda stream version of pepsi max cherry so you just buy a little um what's it called like a little bottle of the of the of the um what do you call it like the kind

of concentrate i suppose yeah and obviously it's really good value because you pay like five or three or whatever and it gives you like I don't know 20 bottles yeah

and I tried it and I just could not get the blend right what too much too little yeah but surely you're making super

if you slam that you'd get cancer I'm not slamming it I'm putting it in water be careful I'm solar streaming it but you know do you slam that, you'd get cancer. I'm not slamming it. I'm putting it in water. Be careful. I'm solar streaming it. But you know that when you go to the pub and you say you're driving or whatever,

so you order a Diet Coke or whatever, and it comes out the fountain, it's much better than the other can of Coke, isn't it? No, Canicoc's well better. It's just so much more carbonated and refreshing. I think there's a distinctive taste to the old fountain effort, which to me makes it taste nicer. Mm, mm.

You've been having that? No, I don't know. I'm not, I think the cans are just the best. Bottles are up there as well. I love Diet Coke. It's delicious. And I think, ultimately, isn't it like one in two people get cancer anyway?

Yeah, so may as well have a reason. May as well have someone to be angry at.'s like a massive excuse for like really elderly people though oh it didn't oh yeah i guess so yeah well so if it's sort of the figures for yeah we still got to worry about it at some point and i'm sure the loved ones of the elderly people don't want them to die i'm not i'm not i'm not dismissing it i'm not boris johnson in it saying they're going to die anyway i'm just saying that one in two people overall, basically because every single old person will have some form of it, I think. Yeah, I think most people die with it.

A friend of a friend got murdered. How could he get murdered? I can't remember what the actual... I mean, you want to be sure before you start saying that. He got attacked by his partner's ex, got bonked on the head, and he sadly passed anyway. Is that the official coroner's report? Bonked on the head.

But he died with, I think, colon cancer, which is just like, they found that he had it in the post-mortem, which is... Wow. It's such a weird thing. Yeah, really unusual for his age as well, but it was a horrible story and his funeral...

I went to his funeral and it was... How did you know them? It was very difficult. Just my mate Martin's mate. I hang out with him quite a lot in university. How old was he? God, he would have been about 38 when he died. That's really sad.

Yeah, really sad. So unnecessary. And he probably would have been saved if... I think his doctors had taken slightly more time with him I think that was the takeaway I think It does happen you know that's the thing isn't it right everyone's kind of very protective of the NHS and very appreciative of it and

I am too but there's a certain amount of pressure that comes with being a doctor in that system and the timing the time is a big part of it right i think cancer outcomes for nhs hospitals are aren't as good as the rest of europe for example as far as i remember i haven't checked recently and um that's in date what that just means is you're in danger of having a two-tiered system right where if you've got the means and you don't feel like you're getting what you need you can just go and pay and get a second opinion yeah and i had a really, I think I told you before,

last year I had a problem with my chest every time I went for a run. So I went and got a checkup and I ended up paying. And it was expensive and I've not got a load of money, but I thought it was important. I couldn't think of anything more important to spend my money that I did have on. And the care I got was just unbelievably good oh yeah yeah i've i've gone private for a couple of tests here and there and oh lordy yeah which is a shame if you can't afford

it right yeah i'm not saying i could always afford it but anyway that's free parking as well i was in central london brother oh no free parking for you i didn't i rode the old line bike oh you're not what do you not take your cyber truck? That was good. That was fucking so good. Oh, God. That was fucking amazing. The best thing about it is it looks shit in black as well.

It looks like the worst car anyone can think of. It looks worse than the Homer Simpson car that he designs. It kind of looked like the Persephone. It kind of looks quite all right from far away, but then actual real-life applications of cars means that they have to have stuff like windscreen wipers. And the windscreen wipers are just ridiculous-looking things. Why was Joe Rogan firing a crossbow at it? I don't know.

Day off, innit? It's something you do. It's either that or he'll be throwing rocks at cars. If you fired a crossbow at a normal car's bodywork... A crossbow, I think, would probably go through a normal car's bodywork, but an arrow fired by Joe Rogan, not a professional arrowsman. It wasn't even a crossbow bolt, was it? It was an arrow, wasn't it? Yeah, I think so.

Are they just high? Yes, repeatedly repeatedly all they do is smoke bifters good god that's what we're going to get up in the morning um let's have a break people we come back i've got an email here about hartlepool go back to school with rogers and get get Canada's fastest and most reliable internet. Perfect for streaming lectures all day or binging TV shows all night. Save up to $20 per month on Rogers Internet. Visit Rogers.com for details.

We got you. Rogers. We're back and it's the Luke and Pete show part two on this, a Monday. Luke, you promised an email about Hartlepool and by golly we're going to get one well it's from Nick hello to you Nick he's emailed hello at Luke and Pete show dot com and he said hi Luke and Pete while away on holiday just

outside Hartlepool I nipped into the town to get some supplies I was listening to last week's pod in the Asda in Hartlepool town centre and Pete mentioned drinking lapsang tea and Luke said you don't Asda in Hartlepool town centre and Pete mentioned drinking Lapsang tea and Luke said, you don't get that in Hartlepool. So I did what any Luke and Pete listener might have done

and stopped looking for biscuits and made my way straight to the tin coffee aisle. I can confirm that you can't, and certainly not in Asda. See the attached picture for the selection available. So, I mean, the Asda... Good selection though. You've got decaffeinated Earl Grey,

which is something I consume quite a lot in the evening. Yeah. And one, I mean, the Asda... Good selection, though. You've got decaffeinated Earl Grey, which is something I consume quite a lot in the evening. Yeah. And one thing I noticed myself actually recently is the new

PG Tips teabag. They're not pyramids anymore. Oh, are they? Surely they gave that up for ages. Nah, the last box I bought,

they were pyramids. Oh. Well, surely they're surely cost-cutting, because that's pyramids, three bits of paper, they're surely cost cutting because that's pyramids three three bits of uh paper and a normal circular no it's not it's just two but it's

twisted ah it's not that's the problem it's not actually a pyramid right it's like you know you've got a square tea bag like that you want the stampings on the side they just twist the top right so it's like that so it's basically it's not even a pyramid anyway but it's not a pyramid at all now I mean I'm looking at this picture here and to be fair the selection of

Yorkshire tea in particular is like toast and jam flavour biscuit flavour I hate that why do people do that

I've been to people's houses where they fucking serve that up a biscuit flavoured tea that's fucking pathetic

in my opinion so I would draw your attention attention to um just next to the pork scratching bags on the left hand side there is a blue packet of twinings uh called defectively no not defectively distinctly smoky now is that not um is that not lap sang souchong in by another name have they just rebranded it? They could have rebranded it. I don't really like a smoky tea. I would never be buying that.

No. I don't really like... I've got a bit of a love-hate relationship with the smoky flavour generally. Right. I don't like smoked cheese. You won't have it on your pizza. Who's eaten smoked cheese in 2023? Everyone does.

Applewood. It's very popular. Is it? If you get a cheese selection, a lot of people will get a smoked cheese. It's just always those ones that look like a pink sausage. They're always those smoked cheeses, aren't they? You're not having them.

I thought you'd be all over that. I mean, I like it, but I just never come into it. I've got no cause to use it, as Michael said, and Alan Partridge. It's not something I see very often. No, and I think, I appreciate Nick sending in this tea selection from the heart of the pool branch of Asda.

Is that a place you would have visited yourself? Yeah, back in the day, Asda was big. Yeah, Asda, the big one on the marina is pretty hefty, next to the, where the tall ships come in. Right.

I'm not snobby about certain things, but I am snobby about other things, and I will never go in an Asda. Oh, really? But the prices are cheaper, aren't they? It's crap, though. Look how much tea we got in the one in Hartlepool,

for crying out loud. I bet you it's not actually that cheap compared, either. I mean, if you look at... Look at the prices. The prices aren't that cheap for branded stuff. Yeah. You got,

you got a box of English breakfast tea by Twinings. That's £5.50. Yeah, but that's a big box. You've chosen the biggest box there. You've been selective with you, with your, with your tea there.

I'll not have this. I don't think, I don't think a small box of Yorkshire tea, £3.90 is expensive. I just think Asda always looks untidy. So I just always think that it's cheaper. It really does. That's,

that's what annoys me. That's why they get you. Yeah, probably right, isn't it? I've noticed that the Waitrose on the High Street in London, in London, on London Road in Lee, they've added an extra shelf that's just for, they call them partners, people who work there. Yeah, they do that in Sainsbury's as well.

Bag-a-wank. Bag-a-wank. But yeah, they put it on top so that it makes the place look, A, a bit more untidy, B, what are they doing with their stockroom? Are they having a bit of five-a-side? What's going on? I wouldn't have liked that on my watch.

On your watch, no. Less stock to hide behind in the stockroom. And the interesting thing now is that they use this thing called just-in-time now. Have you heard about that? Oh, so it's like deliver, right, okay, yeah. So basically it used to be that, you know, you get a delivery manager, a departmental manager in a supermarket, and there'd be an ordering system. What just-in-time, I think it's called, means is that it's all done

on the monitoring of the stuff that goes through the tills. is that it's all down the monitoring of the stuff that goes through the tills. So if you sell 15, that's why it became a real issue with COVID when people kept buying toilet roll. Right. What was then happening was these supermarkets and these shops were just getting inundated with massive amounts of toilet roll delivered to them.

They had nowhere to fucking put them. So I think that might be something to do with it. But I find that what they tend to do, these kind of budget supermarkets, is they'll do some stuff cheap and the rest of the stuff is just normal price. And you're so right about Asda. It's the same with Audi.

I have to go into Audi because they do the best nappies. Right. Their nappies are super cheap and they're really good. They don't leak. Right. So I find myself going to Audi all the time. What's the Ben? Huh? Yeah yeah you sound very

impassioned on this on this point well no no because what i was saying is is like so sometimes the wi-fi i have access to will say oh when you're going there can you get this this and this it's either a case of having to go to an entirely extra shop or just experiment with a couple of audi products my goodness me some of them are unusably bad right well yeah okay their version of dr pepper is called professor peppy that's why it's fun though yeah it's fun we're all having fun with it crap pop is the staple of a bad stand-up and and just our history crap you would like it but it is undrinkable. Birthright, for crying out loud. Don't buy that. Buy stuff like mushrooms and steak

and I'll fucking film that. And also cheap Chinese bloody workman's tools. I bought some clamps last week. Never will look back. You bought some what? I bought some clamps. Just clamp stuff together when I'm gluing or nailing or something.

We've got clamps here because my wife, the wife I have access to is a big arts and crafts person. There you go, yeah. If you want clamps, you should have come to me. I want the clamps.

Let me have the clamps for crying out loud. I've only used them on my nipples once or twice. I'm giving them a wash. Pete, let's have another email here from Liam. Have you used the expressy things?

Have you popped them on? Pop them on your nip nips. You know the stuff that pregnant women use to express? We're way past another email here from liam have you used the have you used the expressy things have you put them on pop them on your nip nips you know the stuff that pregnant women we're way past the breastfeeding phase now mate come on yeah i know well then that's yours then then it's daddy's i'm not sure there's much lactation coming from these big boys it's just pure fatty tissue you'd have a go wouldn't you um crying out loud liam been in touch. What sort of dad do you want to be? The sort of dad who doesn't try and express milk from his own teats. Oh, God. The thing is, those machines are well expensive.

Yeah, I bet. I bet. But do you want to buy ours off us? Just to get it out. Yeah, exactly. Out, damn milk, out. So Liam's been in touch for the fourth and final time now. Liam's been in touch.

And this is an email about the Las Vegas sphere, Peter. Oh, the big screen. It's right up your street. The big 3D screen. So Liam says, hi, James. Just coming back from a three-week road trip and working my way through a small backlog of shows. On the 9th of October, you discussed the Vegas sphere.

And Pete expressed concerns about it not being long before there are dead pixels all over the place. Yes. Well, I went to see you too there on the 18th of October. I'm here to provide the news there are already many many dead pixel squares everywhere on the screen. Oh, that is a shame. Some are

only as small as say a postage stamp but noticeable enough that they consistently caught my attention. That is a shame. So nevertheless, the quality and the scope of the screen is still absolutely unbelievable, but for someone like you, Peter, that is a real deal-breaker, right? Yeah, I would send it back.

It's all you'd be able to focus on, right? I think most things I own have a dead pixel or two. Most things in my life, sometimes I've hot or stuck pixels. That's... What's the difference? Hot or stuck pixels are bright in colour and dead pixels don't emit any kind of light. They are black.

And what would you prefer? Black, please. If I had the choice. If I had the choice. So they wouldn't ever be able to fix those pixels, no? I think you can improve them slightly by power cycling them. You know, cycling like red, green, yellow. Do you remember I bought that Elgato face cam,

which I'm using now, and you helped me with it. And it had a dead pixel when I first bought it, and I just had to send it back. Oh, yeah, it did, didn't it? Yeah, something funny was going on with it. I forgot about that. Elgato have just released a a thing that i think might uh i think might revolutionize um streaming might revolutionize um the way that people do bedroom broadcasting a little bit um they've produced a um a nice tidy um a nice tidy really easy to use um monitor um for a uh what do you call it a

teleprompter they've released a teleprompter it's called the elgato prompter um and um i think people doing zoom calls people doing you know we've all i've got a teleprompter um it's really fiddly to set up and you've got to watch for light leaks at the back of the camera but if it's always installed um it's a really really good thing so i think um yeah i think this is going to be uh pretty why would people use why would the really successful streamers use that because they're very kind of off the cuff kind of natural right there's no point to do that don't script their stuff do they i think they probably do i mean i think probably some some of them do don't they i don't know yeah i i don't know but know. But I think it's for people doing, like, videos to camera, I suppose, and reading scripts and stuff like that.

Most of the good ones will use teleprompters anyway, but this is just a really smaller sort of tidy one that connects to your computer as another monitor and you can just sort of, like, drag stuff into it. It's just a tidy solution for someone who has sort of played around with teleprofits before but it just it really isn't um it really isn't great but you could sort of do you know look at the ramble running order while you're looking into a camera lens rather than um looking at a screen

and then you know presenting to a camera uh if you do stuff like that what i do when i host a ramble reacts it's the only time i really host these days once i used to host talk sport but that was really radio so no one really cared and I would write out my intro scripts and then for Ramble Reacts when I do that I write out the scripts

and I just read them and I don't think it's because the video isn't a predominant part of it no I don't think it matters as much

but that's so interesting I mean having said that I was scrolling through Twitch the other day and one of the channels was a woman asleep in her bed, literally asleep, right?

And there's four and a half thousand people watching live. Is that fair? Is that healthy? Well, for our bank account, yeah. She's loving it, obviously. I just found something very uneasy and sinister about it.

I like the ones that, I think if you spend enough money, you can fire a stupid noise and wake them up or whatever. Yeah, you can, yeah. All that stuff.

I like the ones that do, there was one that I saw a clip where a lad was doing some sleep streaming and people were, you know, trying to spend so much money to sort of wake him up

and somebody sent a, sent a message that said, Alexa, where am I now? And Alexa basically read out the guy's address. Fuck. That's terrible. It's lovely stuff. And the guy woke up and went, ah!

Just grabbed the Alexa and threw it against the wall. Yeah, it's good stuff. That's crazy. All right, Peter Peter on that note I think we should get out of here thank you very much for everyone for listening to this hello at lukeandpete.com

is the email address to get in touch we love hearing from you thank you very much to Liam and to Nick for emailing us on today's show

we are on social media there's lots of other different bits and pieces I share quite a lot of stuff on the Instagram things we're saying on there at Luke and Pete show yeah and the TikTok're seeing on there. At Luke and Pete Show. Yeah, and the TikTok

and the YouTube is at the Luke and Pete Show. I sometimes just share stuff on the Insta that I find interesting or funny and Pete doesn't know about it so it's worth checking out.

I do. I follow it. I watch it. Do you? I do, yeah. That's moved the dial for me. I might have to change my tactics. But that's it, isn't it, Peter?

That's it from us. We'll be back on Thursday later this week for more of this nonsense. Do review and rate the show wherever you listen. Five stars really does help us. It takes you five seconds,

but it means an awful lot to the show and to the guys, particularly Rory, who works very hard producing the show and doesn't get a right to reply against our, quite frankly,

quite pejorative and hateful chat about him. So good on him thank you very much I like the fact that you said it takes five seconds to give us a five

star review like you count it up one are they worth two two are they worth three three are they worth four

or just hit the five in one second and use the other four seconds to post a comment just saying brilliant yeah top notch

if you can touch type that shouldn't be beyond you no and if you need some help, Mavis Beacon Typing School is always open for business on the Amiga 500. How much would that be to get hold of now, do you reckon? Oh, I don't think it's a beloved memory for a lot of people,

so it's probably quite affordable. Great. On that note, we'll see you later. All right. The Luke and Pete Show is a Stack Production and part of the Acast Creator Network. Go back to school with Rogers and get Canada's fastest and most reliable internet. Perfect for streaming lectures all day
