H-E-L-P. It's
1:08
vulgar patriot doses with a third the may
1:10
vary birth rate to the. Local. Already going
1:12
to go drink it up so. I
1:15
bought some of them. Posh crispy. Recommend me about
1:17
four years ago. All torres. Torres.
1:21
Never Adam before. Fuck a good.
1:23
They are delicious. Their observations ocean very buttery
1:25
it bercow hum flavored crisps than Florida hangs
1:27
around as well. That's the one flow of
1:30
that probably repeats on me a bit. Yeah
1:32
we're of a that so that what that's
1:34
what about that and diet coke for breakfast
1:36
so that that's normal I do not show
1:39
floor or know this is no Florida's golf
1:41
on my really do a bit too much
1:43
of his car thing but last time I
1:45
saw you in person or walked into the
1:47
office at nine am and you're eating a
1:50
Chinese take away. The. And they're
1:52
like way what a regular visitor. Off.
1:54
The Record and Peter. He. smashed into
1:56
a gigantic poker ball Yeah,
2:00
that wasn't the same day, that was a different day. No,
2:02
it was the same day. Different needs. I wasn't eating Chinese
2:04
in the morning and then had a pokeball in the afternoon.
2:06
I had a Chinese in the morning, finished the story. Next
2:09
day you see me, I'm off in the pokeball. I
2:12
just hope that your body knows what's going on. The problem
2:14
with pokeballs is they're so delicious and you can add so
2:16
many different bits into it. Like mangoes
2:19
and prawns and more crab salad
2:21
and stuff, it's delicious. But
2:23
it is just a big bowl of rice and it
2:25
will take you to task at like
2:28
about 2pm. You will feel very sleepy
2:30
in a massive bowl of rice. Yeah, but you also
2:32
treat your stomach like you're an abusive parent. It
2:35
has no kind of understanding of your stomach about what's
2:38
happening and when and why it's not being looked after.
2:40
I'm a colleague. I'm not a parent to my stomach.
2:42
I'm a colleague to my stomach. I'm an abusive colleague.
2:44
Yeah. You're going to call HR on
2:46
my tum tum. You're the colleague that every single night
2:48
after work makes you go out on the piss with
2:51
him and then marches you to a cash point. That's
2:54
what you are. Right. I
2:56
think when you when I mean, because it's literally
2:58
happened, people are thinking I'm just talking shit. But
3:01
I wondered at nine in the morning last week and
3:04
you were at a Chinese takeaway at your desk and
3:07
I wonder, do you ever consider what
3:09
the younger people in our office see
3:11
as an example? Yeah,
3:15
but I shouldn't. I mean,
3:17
I'm annoyed that I brought in like, I think 12 bottles
3:20
of bigger juice. Yeah. And
3:22
like, no one's getting involved. No one's getting involved. I'm
3:24
like, go on guys. My
3:26
bigger juice consuming and my kind of
3:29
Hawaiian or Jamaican punch
3:31
sort of years were very much my
3:33
20s. Like, you know, I was working on breakfast shows
3:35
or I was working in an office. I needed that
3:37
sugar. That's the time to
3:40
experiment, guys. Come into Pete's
3:43
hut and enjoy the sugary
3:45
goodness of a bigger juice. But everyone's like
3:47
going and sipping it and going, oh, that's
3:49
a bit much like, guys, your palette
3:52
is you can deal with this in your 20s.
3:55
I have a sip of this stuff in my 30s or
3:57
40s and my stomach goes all.
4:00
So like guys do drink it on your
4:02
own in your car. You're missing out on
4:04
your best bigger juice drinking yours. I
4:07
did genuinely see producer
4:09
Finn Heathers bought Finn
4:12
The other day I was walking down the corridor
4:14
to go into the studio office He was coming
4:16
out of the studio office with four bottles of
4:19
unopened bigger juice under his arm shaking his head.
4:21
Yeah What am I going to do with it?
4:23
Oh no Is
4:26
there any link to the fact that the toys are in there? There
4:29
any link to the fact that the toilets in our
4:31
office the communal toilets which we're not responsible for Have
4:34
been out of order ever since you brought
4:36
bigger juice in is that we've
4:38
found a lot of red piss
4:40
in the pipe What
4:42
is like why are that? Why do we
4:45
it not have a microwave in the building
4:47
so I can walk my Chinese and be
4:49
why are working so
4:53
question a is because John won't let
4:55
us have one in the office and
4:58
Right. Okay. Okay, so you watch so you have to
5:00
bring in your own microwave No What I'm so the
5:03
only two options for a microwave as far as I
5:05
understand it would be in the communal kitchen area Which
5:07
they won't set the building won't sanction because of their
5:10
policy around unsafe electronics, right?
5:12
Just check the electronics they check all the other
5:15
Take it up with them take it up with the people
5:17
who run the building that you have singularly avoided for the
5:19
last eight years Have
5:22
that conversation if you want to I've had a
5:24
conversation with them about like post rooms and We
5:27
had we had a dodge we had to bring a plum
5:29
around to fix some of the water coming out of a
5:31
pipe Yeah, that sounds like exactly
5:33
the kind of normal conversation human being with other than other
5:36
human being pipe
5:38
there's some And
5:40
the only thing in there is to put the microwave in the
5:42
office and as far as I know it John's vetoed that Right.
5:45
Okay, I'll be fine with it. I don't
5:47
care Right, I mean you can put
5:50
yeah, but I'm gonna bring it in and put it in
5:52
there No, I was pretty good to stop you Charlie. My
5:54
god. I've been seeing that guy who's got like a Who's
5:57
got like a microwave on his head and he cycles
5:59
through? town. He's got like this
6:01
guy in America, it's like a TikTok or something,
6:03
he's got this guy, he just looks like a
6:06
mad dude who's got a
6:09
scum microwave on his head and
6:11
he basically just burns it as fast as he can up
6:13
to anyone who'll listen. He does a
6:15
massive rear wheel skid and goes, I've
6:17
got a microwave on my head and
6:19
he slams the microwave door shut because
6:21
as he's doing his swerve the microwave
6:23
door swings open and then he slams
6:25
the microwave door shut and then scoots
6:27
off again. It's brilliant. He is
6:29
living his best life. Is it fixed to
6:32
his head? It's honest, he basically
6:34
punched a hole in the bottom of the microwave
6:36
and stuck his head right through it. Nice. Thrilling,
6:39
absolutely thrilling. What a way to live your life.
6:41
Think of what I'm thinking. Ramble
6:43
live show. Ramble live show, Mr.
6:45
microwave. That'd be great. Yeah, she cooked my
6:47
head. It's no more insane than some of
6:50
the ideas you have got, Peter.
6:53
If I had, if I, right, jammed,
6:56
like just basically drilled a hole into
6:58
the bottom of a microwave, right, plugged
7:01
it in and I put it
7:03
on my head like and started to cook
7:05
my own head, how
7:08
long would it take for
7:10
someone to rescue me? I
7:13
reckon I'd be tossed, I'd be done.
7:16
I'd be bud-dwired. You'd have
7:18
to circumvent the safety feature of the microwave, right,
7:20
because it wouldn't start with it. Yeah,
7:22
it would start. I don't think there's any electrons
7:24
in the base. It's only that motor that moves
7:27
the microwave around. So once that door's open, obviously,
7:29
famously, because of radiation. Yeah, I'm going to the
7:31
door. I'm going to the door.
7:33
Okay. The more pertinent question for me would be
7:35
how long would it take to do some genuine
7:37
damage to your head? I
7:40
think it'd be ten,
7:42
under ten seconds you'd be... Ten seconds of
7:45
a level time. Under
7:47
ten seconds, I don't know. Is anyone got any
7:50
grounding in me? I thought that had just been
7:52
done. Yeah. There might be a
7:54
reason for that. I remember reading about a chef
7:56
who's, there was a microwave at like
7:58
kind of like hip level. and he
8:00
started having terrible kidney problems because his kidneys
8:03
were just really close to this leaking microwave
8:05
which is just a horrific story but
8:08
yeah, I reckon under 10 seconds and he did it all
8:10
Sometimes things haven't been done before because they're amazing ideas that
8:12
no one's thought of yet Sometimes it's not been
8:14
done before because it'd be a bad thing to do Some
8:16
deaths are like proper like
8:20
Proper to, like genuinely makes you feel sick to think
8:22
about it. What a horrible way to go Yeah, you
8:24
remember the Darwin Awards? My dad used to get a
8:26
book from I think his brother like every year The
8:30
Darwin Awards from that year, so people who
8:32
died in the most ridiculous circumstances And
8:36
some of them are just absolutely ridiculous You
8:41
know, like the
8:43
ones I remember, the guy who, there was
8:45
a guy who died Because
8:48
he fell from a skyscraper because he was
8:50
trying to show a group of students that
8:52
the windows were unbreakable Right.
8:55
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's the sort
8:57
of thing you get told And you just
8:59
trust, you don't need to necessarily stress test
9:01
them. No, another one would be
9:03
that guy I love that guy who went to
9:06
North Sentinel Island Wouldn't
9:08
it? He was told, was he the Jesus guy? Yeah,
9:10
he was told over and over again, don't go there
9:12
They're gonna kill you. Don't go there. They are not
9:14
into us. He was obviously delusionally religious
9:16
Like, you know, oh, it'll be fine. God will sort
9:19
it out, you know. Yeah, God, I'll sort it out
9:21
Yeah, let us know when you see him. There's
9:24
your alpha course dickhead. Yeah Exactly.
9:27
I keep squeaking my foot on the chair by the way,
9:29
it's not me farting. Stop squeaking your foot on the chair
9:31
Yeah, listen. Crying out loud. Oh Speaking.
9:34
I'll send you a video of two
9:36
lads that I find their jeepery on
9:39
Twitter very amusing I'll
9:43
find their names. It's Tom Lawrence and Sam O'Leary
9:45
They're two little sketch lads, little sketch lads, all
9:48
of them are probably, two lads
9:50
who just do sketches and stuff and one of the sketches
9:52
that I sent you was The
9:54
Golden Ramji one where- Oh, it's brilliant. It's fucking
9:56
brilliant. Are you gonna put fart noises over the
9:59
top of this? Check
10:02
it out. Mr. Samuel Leary. It makes
10:04
me laugh. I am. Brilliant. I'm still
10:06
watching an episode of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares
10:09
UK once a week at least. Yeah.
10:11
And there's not enough episodes. That's the problem. What
10:13
do you mean? They just... I don't like it when they
10:15
repeat these TV shows on like digital television though because
10:17
they... There's just too many ad breaks. Too many ad breaks.
10:21
Yeah, so they don't... So they're only
10:23
really, as far as I know, they only repeat the US one, which I
10:25
think is actually coming back. Right.
10:27
But the UK one is only about 15 episodes.
10:31
Which, what do you think about it? So you don't... The show you
10:33
love watching more than anything else is the US office, right? Yeah.
10:37
It's about 250 episodes, isn't it? It's
10:40
become a bit of a routine for me. Yeah.
10:42
In nine seasons, eight seasons, 25 per... Yeah,
10:45
so I wish we had that on the old UK Kitchen
10:47
Nightmares. I basically just wish Gordon Ramsay and I at every
10:49
single restaurant in the UK. Yeah.
10:52
Okay. It's just a sensational piece of TV. I think it's
10:54
the best fly on the wall
10:56
show ever. It's brilliant. Peter,
10:58
anyway, let's get through a couple more emails because we
11:00
always get a backlog because we never end up doing
11:03
them. And so
11:05
I would like to read this one from Joe
11:07
who says, afternoon chaps, I was driving home from
11:09
the chiropractor in Leon C this afternoon. Oh.
11:13
Listening to people... There are a few chiropractors in Leon
11:15
C. Are there? I
11:17
just think there's a lot of back injuries, people sort
11:20
of, I don't know, rolling down the hill
11:22
towards the sea. I don't know why people
11:24
have so many born and ligament... I think
11:26
it's people carrying all their money in their
11:28
backpacks. Yeah. He
11:30
says, I was listening to Pete talking around with
11:32
about slugging a line of Brucie's ashes. That's
11:35
a ramble thing at the moment. It's
11:37
a wonderful moment of serendipity. What do
11:39
I see on my right but a
11:41
Toyota Century parked up? Uh-oh.
11:43
After months of hearing about the car... I've been
11:45
spotted. Uh-oh. After months of hearing
11:47
about the car... Someone knows where I live. Uh-oh.
11:49
It was great to see it in the wild,
11:52
to see it in the flesh while listening to
11:54
Pete was a treat. To celebrate, I placed a
11:56
snail and a spider on the good spot. Now,
11:58
you hear that? But, uh, you should be spotted.
12:00
You're out in the worst but as your car
12:02
out in the wild in the wild right okay
12:04
Yeah, I think I know where that chiropractor is
12:06
that I've come to the conclusion that so I
12:08
was cycling home the other day and If
12:12
you're a cyclist in London you just
12:14
get shouted out a lot right. I'm sure no at
12:16
least I saw
12:18
me Anyway,
12:21
so we would just shout you know There isn't
12:23
but whatever no And
12:26
I was cycling through I've been to see
12:29
a mate for lunch in Hackney and
12:31
I was talking about from then I started on a cycle path
12:34
and Guys
12:36
just started shouting at me and I was like
12:38
okay, and I the
12:41
way he was shouting wasn't like an aggressive Calling
12:43
me a cunt type thing which gets I'll just ignore it
12:45
and carry on He was shouting in
12:47
a way that was like oh, what have I dropped
12:49
something or my bag open or something? so
12:52
I stopped on the cycle path about
12:54
50 meters from him and I
12:57
could see him in the distance and
12:59
he just goes all right. I was like
13:02
yeah, he would go sir I'm
13:05
uh I'm listening to you right now Okay,
13:10
great. Thanks for listening. No worries
13:13
And then just put his hair phone back into
13:15
carried on walking and I'm not being ungrateful
13:17
for it, but I'm just saying What
13:21
what's the purpose? What's
13:23
the I don't know? I just I think it's a nice
13:25
thing though, isn't it? It's exciting come
13:29
up to you and they'll say and This
13:31
does happen and they'll say oh look
13:34
I love the show You know,
13:36
please don't stop making the shards love listen to it so
13:38
much or I've been for a bit of a difficult time
13:40
And you guys really cheered me up and that's all very
13:42
nice I'm very appreciative of that, but if
13:44
you're just gonna do that thing Can't
13:46
you just text me or sorry tweet me just go. I just saw
13:48
you. Yeah, great. Love the show You've
13:51
you've been convenience us both for no real
13:53
outcome there He's
13:55
just excited. Why why do you know
13:57
I've joined your sir. I'll tell you one
14:00
I'll tell you one, that I
14:02
don't think I've shared on this point anyway. Last
14:05
week, I'm in a field, I'm in a... No
14:09
bad stories like this. Last week I was in
14:11
a field. An area of
14:13
natural beauty. And there's a little
14:15
cafe in this golf course, I
14:17
think. And I pop in
14:20
and a lad goes, oh great, how you
14:22
doing? You know, I
14:25
enjoy one of the shows, presumably. It's
14:28
always really weirdly, either abroad or Japan
14:30
on this one. These
14:33
days, I don't know why. Yeah, I get a lot of Luke and Peter.
14:38
Which hasn't made me raise my game on this show. But
14:40
I think people like the fact that you are, in
14:43
some ways, really bad. But
14:45
it's still really good. I think it's relatable. Yeah,
14:48
but I don't think it'd bring... I don't think on
14:50
board new listeners... No, but Jake, hopefully they're going to
14:52
broadcast like you broadcast, is he? It's a good point,
14:54
actually. I get up at a reasonable hour. And
14:59
so I went back outside. And
15:01
Sarah went back in to buy some dog
15:04
treats or whatever. And the lad
15:06
who I'd said hello to had fainted. So
15:10
I'm just saying, Luke. I'm
15:12
just saying, Luke. Alright, fine.
15:14
It was probably unrelated. But
15:18
there's potential for me to be as big as
15:20
the Beatles. And
15:22
do you know for sure that
15:25
he fainted because he saw
15:27
you? Well, of course
15:29
he didn't. I don't know why. He was fainted.
15:32
But the correlation is amusing. The idea
15:34
that I would think that he fainted
15:36
because he saw me. No,
15:39
but I think he could have loved the show, got really
15:41
excited. You could have been his favourite person on the show
15:43
and he might not have had any breakfast because blood sugar
15:45
was low. And it happened. It can
15:48
happen. It can happen. It can
15:50
happen. I came to the conclusion. Football
15:52
Ramble Live! Catch your metal. I
15:56
came to the conclusion that it's
15:58
probably better. to
16:00
be really, really, really famous,
16:04
then slightly known to
16:06
some people because the element
16:09
of being slightly known to some
16:11
people always comes along and
16:13
you're never fully prepared or expected. Right.
16:16
If you're super famous, you could, you're normally
16:18
wealthy and you can adjust your lifestyle accordingly
16:21
knowing that anytime you leave the house, you
16:23
have to work, live in a certain way
16:25
because everyone knows who you are. The
16:28
most ideal famous, not famous people
16:30
is like the
16:32
guitarist out of Coldplay. You
16:34
know, that is ideal level
16:36
of fame. You walk down
16:38
the street very easily, but
16:41
you are fucking minted. Yeah,
16:43
that's exactly right. Ideal. You
16:46
get your fair share of all that stuff. You
16:48
get to enjoy the experience of
16:50
like playing large, large people and doing
16:53
some music and stuff that really benefits,
16:55
really helps people in their lives and
16:57
gets them a lot of enjoyment. The
16:59
more thoughtful groupies, etc. Yeah.
17:03
The groupies who are not,
17:06
well to be fair though, I think there's probably group...
17:09
Contrarian. Contrarian groupies. Yeah.
17:12
I actually like this one the best actually. Yeah. Or
17:14
I'd actually quite like to smoosh that one. If I get
17:16
in with you, can I get to him? Yes.
17:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you'd happily fulfill that because
17:22
it's all meaningless. Yeah, it's all meaningless. It's
17:24
not like you know who you are. You can't talk about that. You
17:26
can't say that stuff these days like pizza. Can
17:28
you? It's not acceptable. Why
17:31
isn't it acceptable? Power imbalance. Eh,
17:33
yeah. But yeah, I mean presumably... What,
17:38
so presumably rock stars aren't allowed to have any
17:41
sexual congress because of money and fame and attention. They're
17:44
not allowed to have any relationship with anyone.
17:46
Good luck with that. It's not what you're saying, look.
17:48
What kind of world are you living? What kind of world are you
17:50
living? No, I think, I think,
17:52
you know, the cards on the table,
17:54
I think consenting adults are consenting adults
17:56
and you know, that's that. But
17:59
a lot of people have... posited that
18:01
there is a potential power imbalance. Oh, massively. Yeah,
18:03
of course it is. I guess it depends on
18:05
the individual situation, right? I don't really know too
18:07
much about it. But the idea
18:10
that you could be that successful, that
18:12
famous, that wealthy, and not really be
18:14
in the line of sight. Yeah.
18:17
I used to think that you'd be annoyed about that because you're
18:19
not getting the credit you deserve. But as I
18:21
get older, I think that's ideal. You would see how
18:24
destructive it is with Chris Martin. You would
18:26
see how awful it is to live your
18:28
life as one of those people. Awful.
18:31
Apparently Sarah's
18:33
working in Albert Hall. She was doing
18:35
announcements on stage a few weeks ago
18:38
for the Teenage Counts of Trust gigs. And
18:40
she had a taxi driver who was taking her
18:43
home to Bajardin. And
18:47
the guy was saying that he is one
18:49
of Taylor Swift's drivers, right? Right.
18:54
So they have like three, I mean,
18:56
obviously a lot's been said about her
18:59
private jet use and stuff like that. But they
19:01
rock up to wherever, you know, the
19:03
hotel to take her to, or from
19:06
a private airfield or whatever to take
19:08
her wherever. They get
19:11
in, there's two decoy drivers, I
19:13
believe. And also they're
19:15
all in Range Rovers that are like
19:18
specially modified. And they're in
19:20
Range Rovers that are like mucky. Like
19:22
they make their cars look mucky so that people
19:25
are thrown off the scent so it doesn't look like a VIP
19:27
situation. So they make
19:29
their, they cover their cars in mud. To
19:32
make it look dirty. And they, and
19:34
basically she, he carries
19:36
her off the plane or from
19:39
someplace into the back, into the
19:41
boot of the car. What? In a
19:43
body bag. What? And
19:45
he says, I don't even carry my wife
19:47
like this. I don't know what I'm holding.
19:49
You know, and this little skinny wife sticking
19:51
her in the boot of a car, right?
19:55
For what reason? And then she clambers
19:57
through into the back of the car. This
20:00
is insane. I don't know. You
20:02
always see like stars, they get moved around
20:04
in flight cases around the... Do they? Like
20:07
the autude. Yeah, like everyone's, they're always in flight
20:09
cases aren't they? Have you seen a... I didn't know
20:11
that. You go watching like a... Yeah, on
20:13
a big production, if like
20:15
Taylor Swift needs to get from one place in
20:18
the auditorium to another, they go in flight cases.
20:20
Because it just looks like, you know, that's probably
20:22
just full of guitars or something. But it's got
20:24
Taylor Swift in there. I just think
20:26
it's a bit kinky. Yeah. I just think she's
20:28
into it. She's like blowing my mind a bit.
20:30
I just assumed there'd be like passageways underneath that
20:32
you could walk through and stuff. Yeah,
20:34
I don't know. I think it's the easier
20:37
way to do it. I don't know. I
20:39
know that in Port College House, which is
20:41
the one of the offices where MPs have
20:43
their offices and stuff in Parliament, there's
20:46
a tunnel underneath from
20:49
Port College House to the House of Parliament.
20:51
And it's also their own separate entrance
20:53
and exit to Westminster tube station as
20:56
well. Right. Okay. And
20:58
they have to get through it. I'd love to.
21:00
But I never knew. I've eaten
21:02
in Port College House a couple of times and the
21:05
prices are astonishingly cheap. Yeah,
21:08
it's all self-sized. I've actually,
21:10
I've had beers in
21:12
the Strangers Barn stuff as well. My
21:14
friends are advisers in government. Anyway,
21:17
I had no idea about
21:20
the flight case thing ever. Yeah. That's
21:22
crazy. Getting easier. So I don't think
21:24
I'd want to be that
21:27
famous to be honest. No, it's kind of
21:29
like, but it reminds me
21:31
of like, I remember like one of the
21:33
rest of the men, I think Donk the
21:35
Clown had to sit underneath a ring for
21:38
like about four hours. Right.
21:42
Sit. Waiting for him to jump out underneath the,
21:44
I think it was two Donks, two clowns
21:46
that were identical. Oh, I
21:48
remember that. And one of them
21:50
had to sit underneath the ring for about five
21:53
hours. Donk and Dink, wasn't it? Donk
21:55
and Dink, I think. Yeah. And
21:57
it's just, you know, in a hot on
21:59
a. on a hot day in like
22:02
probably Texas or something, just sat under a
22:04
ring for five hours, ugh, absolutely gross. And
22:06
now in Vince McMahon's operation, he'd probably be
22:08
pretty well looked after though, right? Yeah,
22:11
exactly, yeah. He
22:13
gives you a bottle of water and just in
22:15
case you get too hot and it turns out
22:18
to be pure anabolic steroids. Where's Dink?
22:20
Oh, he's dead. He's dead. He's
22:23
in the... So, you know, I
22:25
read a story a while back about the
22:27
wrestling nails. Do you remember nails? Yeah,
22:29
I remember nails, yeah. He got booted
22:31
out of WWF because
22:34
apparently, and I don't know how
22:36
true this is, but given the latest
22:38
kind of stuff that's been going on, we
22:41
wouldn't be too keen to doubt it.
22:43
But he said that he broke into the WWF
22:46
and became this wrestler and he's having these big matches
22:49
in big events and stuff. Vince
22:51
McMahon wouldn't pay him, just wouldn't
22:53
get paid. And eventually it came to a head and
22:55
he just went into Vince McMahon's office, grabbed him, pinned
22:57
him on the floor, and started choking him out until
23:00
he paid him. He'd got him arrested
23:02
and that was that. Yeah. I
23:05
mean, I wouldn't fuck with the big... They're
23:07
all big boys, you know what I mean? Yeah. I
23:10
bet HaKoo got paid. Massive... Apparently,
23:13
that's the world's hardest man who would just pop an
23:15
eye as soon as he'd look at
23:17
you. Oh, that wrestling move, I told you, is the
23:19
greatest... It's the greatest
23:21
ostensibly formal business meeting moment I've ever
23:23
seen in that wrestling movie where Vince
23:25
McMahon's not really interested in that wrestling.
23:28
He wants to try out for the WWF, but he hears on the grapevine that
23:31
he can puke on demand. Yeah. So
23:33
he gets him into the office and gets him a bin and just starts trying to
23:36
make him puke. Puke, yeah. And then he
23:38
has a tearful conversation with his mum saying, I
23:40
think I'm in, I think I'm in. I do have to
23:42
do another puke. Ha, ha,
23:44
ha, ha! Jesus. He was... He
23:47
injured himself and was cordial pleasure. He
23:50
died not long ago, that guy. That's
23:52
sad. He was... He doesn't ever tend
23:54
to really end very well, does it? He's got
23:56
a whole NFL career and then getting... You
23:59
know, doing a bit of... The and then. Really?
24:01
Really hurt yourself. Oh well
24:03
as a bright future when we come back. Got even know
24:05
what to do in a just a small bits and pieces

26:24
back with a look at Peach's short. Luke,
26:26
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
26:28
I know we speak about AI being dreadful
26:30
and what's bad in the world seems to
26:33
be very timeless
26:36
people pushing out really
26:38
amazing looking stuff with just a
26:41
prompt. Captain Tom, I'm
26:43
glad you heard it. I don't
26:45
know what app it is but
26:48
they basically, if they
26:50
take a video of your choice and
26:52
they can figure
26:55
out what the body is doing at any
26:57
time, basically build a skeletal kind of representation
26:59
of what that person is doing in the
27:01
video and the footage. And
27:05
then they can basically put any person,
27:09
visage, body into that footage and
27:11
it looks, the fluidity
27:13
and effectiveness, it looks bloody
27:15
incredible. So you've got
27:17
Captain Tom scoring, I
27:20
think scoring against when, I think Gerard slipped
27:22
or something, whoever slipped, Captain
27:24
Tom just run a goal and just
27:26
slot in one home past the goalkeeper
27:28
and also when he was on Gladiator's, Captain
27:30
Tom. How am I doing, boss? It's
27:34
such good, it's such
27:36
a lovely app and I cannot get
27:38
enough of it and I'm glad that
27:41
we have this technology. Oh, it's great.
27:43
The rest of AI I could very
27:45
much leave but this form of kind
27:47
of like patching in famous people from
27:49
history into Gladiator's is just something else.
27:51
It's also not problematic or offensive because
27:53
nothing can denigrate the memory of Captain
27:55
Tom anymore than his family's done. Exactly,
27:57
his legacy. That's
28:00
the spartan's memory. Has the spar
28:02
been knocked down yet? Yeah, it has.
28:04
They didn't seek plan permission for it
28:07
and they had
28:09
to knock it all down I think. It's
28:12
almost as if the family who took
28:14
Captain Tom on holidays, despite him being
28:17
a very old man and eventually him
28:19
dying of Covid, I think it was,
28:21
wasn't it? You
28:23
sort of think they're not the best planners. They're
28:26
very kind of like, let's just get this done.
28:29
Better to do it and say sorry afterwards.
28:31
Yeah, better to beg for forgiveness than ask
28:33
for permission. There's just so
28:35
much stuff come out about that whole
28:37
foundation, which is really, really sad. Delicious.
28:41
Apparently the first year the foundation spent £240,000
28:43
on management and fundraising costs and gave away
28:45
just £160,000. The
28:50
daughter... Why Clefesk? Yeah,
28:52
the daughter did the thing, didn't she,
28:54
where they set up an awards
28:57
and it was sponsored by a couple of
29:00
companies and it
29:02
was like a Captain Tom Foundation
29:04
Awards for different things and then
29:06
it came out that the daughter
29:09
was a judge on there because she was on the board
29:11
and she ran the foundation. But
29:13
then the foundation paid
29:16
her £18,000 to do the judging. It's
29:20
like... Yeah, okay. You've made that up. It's
29:23
not even the perfect crime, is it? Shall I
29:25
ask David? Can I have the deal? Yeah,
29:28
exactly. I'm not going to do that. So
29:30
everybody's giving up their time for charity. Yeah.
29:34
We've kind of given up our time, but you know, time is money.
29:37
Anyway, so I also read
29:40
a quote from her saying that she...
29:44
Do you remember that interview on the news where
29:46
she had made Captain Tom into a chair?
29:49
Oh, a chair, yeah. She
29:52
was basically pleading poverty, saying, oh yeah, the mistakes have been made
29:54
and stuff, but actually the charity is not going to exist for
29:56
much longer. So people need to have a think
29:58
about that. So yeah, it's not going to exist much longer. people don't give
30:00
you any fucking money because I don't want to go
30:03
for crying out loud anyway Jordan's
30:05
been in time anyway he says hi guys notice
30:07
on a recent episode you chat about pop music
30:10
and Know that
30:12
Luke is a keen reader Just wanted to
30:14
throw a suggestion out there reach for the
30:16
stars by Michael Craig is an excellent book
30:18
It covers the UK pop music scene during
30:20
the late 90s and early 2000s when the
30:22
likes of Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller were
30:24
throwing Their weight around particular highlights include members
30:26
of five Being backstage of Liam
30:28
Gallagher who offered them a bang on this It
30:31
turned out to be a bop it that he pulled out of his
30:33
bag Oh lovely, which is
30:35
great Lee from blue blasting a
30:37
fire extinguisher Alan Shearer Max
30:40
Martin playing hit me baby one more time to five for one
30:42
of them just to tell him it's a shit song And they
30:44
should give it to that teenage girl. He was talking about Great
30:51
Yeah Yeah, just I
30:53
mean are these kind of Remember
30:55
when like was it? No, who's
30:57
the fellow used to be in Hollyoaks
31:00
is a question for you. Okay, who was was
31:02
it Callum best? Was he in Hollyoaks? No Is
31:05
it Calum best? Anyway, I
31:08
think it was Calum best bit of a kind
31:10
of socialite You know a little bit like his
31:12
father, but like his little father But a bit
31:14
of a socialite kind of bloke who was around
31:16
about the city He could easily slot it into
31:18
blue as like a seventh member. I have him
31:20
many they've got yeah And it's not it's not
31:22
okay. It's not it's not Calum best. I
31:25
think Paul Denan Might
31:28
be Paul Denan. He did that Instagram kind of
31:30
expose a thing where he's just pulled in that
31:32
about doing talking about doing Charlie dangerous Denan Just
31:37
talking about doing drugs is like pop stars and he
31:39
did a show without thank him He did a show
31:41
with Calum best didn't he pull them
31:43
it was it called it had a really
31:45
funny name best and Denan No, it wasn't
31:47
funny like best in the land It was
31:49
it was it was with
31:52
Calum best and Fran Cosgrove. You ever
31:54
Frank Frank. Oh god Yeah, these men
31:56
and it was called he was he
31:58
became inexplicably famous because he was a bodyguard
32:00
for wildlife or something. But the TV
32:03
show was them travelling around
32:05
the US I think and it was
32:07
called Callum Fran and Dangerous Danan. Anyway
32:10
what were you going to say about
32:12
Paul Danan? I think it was Danan
32:14
who was posting Instagram and it was
32:16
massive exposés about the sugar
32:18
babes and stuff. Yeah I remember that. They had
32:20
really helpful stuff. That was a good couple of
32:22
weeks. I think that is a really interesting time.
32:25
I might read that
32:27
actually. I'll grab it on the Kindle and give it
32:29
a bash. I hope we learn to read it based
32:31
on the anecdotes that Jordan has recommended there. That would
32:33
be fun. Pre-camera
32:36
phone man. Pre-camera phone. Fun.
32:39
I find it quite interesting recently
32:41
when Sharon Osborne, who
32:44
of course you judge on some of these
32:46
things, and Amanda Holden had a
32:48
big bust up and Sharon
32:51
Osborne's put down of Holden
32:53
was sensational. Because Holden
32:55
said in the bust up something
32:57
like, Osborne's already done
32:59
what she's done because she's in Simon
33:01
Cowell's pocket. Sharon Osborne, admittedly,
33:04
probably isn't blameless in this. I think it
33:06
all comes from the celebrity big brother of
33:08
her and Louis Walsh gossiping about everyone and
33:10
Holden got offended. Osborne then listed all of
33:12
her achievements as an artist manager before she
33:14
even met Simon Cowell. Obviously she was like
33:16
the Aussie Osborne's manager. She
33:19
was managing a load of massive
33:21
artists. For whatever you think about
33:23
her, her management of rock
33:26
and roll stars has garnered something like
33:28
100 million records.
33:30
She's got a massive back catalogue of stuff
33:32
she's done. I just thought it was quite
33:34
funny to see her really flex, have a
33:36
massive flex about it. Because in a way
33:38
it's quite weird that she ended up doing
33:40
that stuff. Because she
33:42
basically just did metal music
33:44
really, I think, for the most part.
33:46
Actually, Osborne's wasn't it? I think Jack
33:49
Osborne has a new TV show every
33:51
single week where he just goes out
33:53
on ghost adventures. Jack Osborne's. If you
33:56
were like, Jack
33:58
Asser back within you, if you were inhabited like
34:00
the sort of late 90s kind of
34:02
MTV sort of thing. Like it's
34:06
amazing how much work you can get. You
34:08
know, no one thinks about Jack
34:10
Osborne, no one thinks about Kelly Osbourne, but they'll work
34:13
probably later than the dad ever
34:15
did. Just because they were
34:17
famous at a really, at
34:19
a really important time where there was only a few channels.
34:22
Yeah, I know what you mean. Big channels. But
34:24
Sharon Osbourne basically co-founded Ozfest at
34:27
Ozzy Osbourne and at one point she
34:29
was managing Motorhead, Ozzy Osbourne and the
34:31
Smashing Pumpkins. I wouldn't fuck with
34:33
that. No, exactly. I wouldn't fuck with that. Although
34:35
that would be a good bonus episode of the show. You
34:38
fucking around. Have you Sharon Osbourne? Again,
34:42
it's like a spoon in the bathroom. I've got no cost,
34:44
I've got no cost. You used to do everything. I've got
34:46
an air cost to interview Sharon Osbourne. Yeah, but it doesn't
34:48
mean you didn't stop me before. Yeah, but she was very
34:50
much a general, she wasn't in a metal generation, she was
34:52
very much in her. I've done, you
34:55
know, the Smashing Pumpkins a few times. I could, but
34:57
she was very much. You and Billy, you and Billy,
34:59
you and Billy kind of bonding over wrestling. Yeah,
35:02
a little bit, yeah. I think,
35:04
yeah, he's got some funny opinions. As
35:09
a wrestling promoter and outside. Oh, I found that quite a
35:11
rogue move from him. I was very surprised. I was pleasantly
35:13
surprised to see that he was well into it. Yeah,
35:17
well, I think he made the point
35:19
that wrestling has always accepted him, but
35:21
Rock and Roll happened. I
35:23
think it was a nice sort of play. That is really. He
35:25
did make some horrific people, champions in
35:28
his company. For which he'll never be forgiven. All the wrestling
35:30
company in America. No, exactly. All right,
35:32
then that's about it for us. We've
35:34
been looking at Pete Shaw for another Monday.
35:39
We'll be back on Thursday, where
35:42
we'll be doing more of this really. Yeah.
35:45
Talk about more Captain Tom. Captain Tom's house
35:47
is up for sale, so we are starting
35:49
and just giving. Go fund me to
35:51
buy it for Luke and Pete Shaw Enterprises. We're going to make
35:53
an HQ. We're going to make a spa. No, we just buy
35:56
it for ourselves and then not give anyone their money back.
35:58
In the true spirit. of Captain Tom and
36:00
his offer. But when we speak next you'll be back from
36:03
Cornwall so it'll be interesting to hear how you got on.
