1:23

We are nearly at the end

1:25

of March. How the hell did

1:27

that happen? I think I'm technically

1:29

on a little week's holiday right

1:31

now. If you are interested in

1:33

my whereabouts and whatnotterie. Oh, you've

1:35

just got back from Kosovo. It was

1:37

one day over working week I took

1:39

off. The weekends of my own. I've

1:41

said that before and I'll say it.

1:44

I don't care how many days you

1:46

have off. I just wondered where you're

1:48

going next. I'm off to... And the

1:50

Lucia sort of area I think. With

1:53

the family. With the family Lee. The

1:55

family. That'd be great. Just dancing. The

1:57

songs you hate. and see I looked

1:59

forward to seeing how stressed out I

2:02

can get getting a child. to Stancet

2:04

Airport at 5 o'clock in the morning.

2:06

Looking forward to that. Listen, let me

2:08

just tell you something now, and I

2:11

can't do it, you can't do anything

2:13

about it, because when the time just

2:15

comes out, you're already on holidays, it's

2:17

for next time. You need to get,

2:20

and this is strange coming from you,

2:22

because you are normally someone who does

2:24

pay through the nose for things. When

2:27

it comes to having a toddler and

2:29

doing things at holidays, you've got to

2:31

throw money at it. What like you

2:33

can't be doing standing at 5am you're

2:36

mad. A pair off to go somewhere

2:38

else and while we enjoy it. No,

2:40

do a midday flight from a convenient

2:42

airport. Oh, a midday flight. No, yeah,

2:45

that's, that's, yeah, that's less than ideal.

2:47

They were the only flights that were

2:49

available from the old jet too. Jet

2:51

and you're flying jet too. Come on,

2:54

man. It's a package all day. It's

2:56

a package all day. Three airways. All

2:58

day! All day. Three airways. Listen, I

3:00

had the package holiday with British Airways

3:03

to a five-star all-inclusive in Lanzarotti for

3:05

three of us, including flights and hotel

3:07

and all-inclusive. It was like 1,700 quid,

3:10

including transferred, as well. What is this

3:12

an advert for British Airways? What's going

3:14

on with it? I'm just saying, think

3:16

about it, man. How was you paying?

3:19

A lot of money, like a ridiculous

3:21

amount of money. Exactly. To fly jet,

3:23

too. I like the music, I like

3:25

the music, I like the music. I

3:28

like the advert. I like the music,

3:30

I like the advert for crying out

3:32

loud. I like the play, I play

3:34

a bit, Jess Glen before you get

3:37

on. I think that 17 to 1800

3:39

pounds in the New Year's South and

3:41

British Airways for all that was really

3:43

really good value and it was a

3:46

lovely holiday as well. I mean... You

3:48

got to shop around mate. Well, you

3:50

think that with this kind of promotion

3:53

you would, you'd expect British Airways to

3:55

be beating a path to our door

3:57

for advertising moments. I wouldn't do British

3:59

Airways a disservice of asking for a

4:02

discount from them. But, you know, I

4:04

would be a first offer. If one

4:06

is offered, I will accept. Yeah, absolutely.

4:08

You're going to lose your patience. How

4:11

many times do you reckon you lose

4:13

your patience on the holiday? Every hour.

4:15

I think I'll do like a town

4:17

crier every hour. At 11 o'clock and

4:20

pizza night. 12 o'clock and pizza night.

4:22

Alan Parche does a good bit on

4:24

that really. He talks about what I

4:26

can't remember what Shabbat is, or one

4:29

of those books or something, where he

4:31

says, it's basically on the lines of

4:33

when you can't all day with your

4:36

family, all you do is spend your

4:38

time dreaming about how much of a

4:40

better holiday you'd be on holiday. You

4:42

know, I might think about things that

4:45

might never happen. Newcastle United winning something.

4:47

Now I've not even got that. I've

4:49

got to concentrate on what I'm doing

4:51

now. Now they've won something. I don't

4:54

have to worry about that anymore. I've

4:56

basically got a child concentrate on as

4:58

well. And she's not really that awful.

5:00

So that'll be stressful. Because my son

5:03

loves a bath and he loved swimming,

5:05

putting me on holiday. So I reckon

5:07

he'll be really into it. But I

5:09

mean, you got a really bare of

5:12

mind. I don't want to be the

5:14

bearer of bad news, but it is

5:16

worth reminding you and our listeners that

5:19

last time you went on the whole

5:21

day and you went swimming, you almost

5:23

died. So I don't worry too much

5:25

about your toddler. I'll write more about

5:28

yourself. Yeah, very good point, actually. I

5:30

think if I can teach her to

5:32

not try and swim against the riptides

5:34

instead of goal with them, maybe Abraham

5:37

won't always be there. You take an

5:39

Abraham with you. Well, yeah, like an

5:41

angel boy's assistant. I'm going to pay

5:43

him ridiculous about some money to follow

5:46

me and my family around. environment. I

5:48

imagine sir, I'll be fine with that.

5:50

Showers too. Showers. Yeah. She was talking

5:52

for him replacing you actually. He's good

5:55

boy, actually. He's IP tested. He's you

5:57

can't, you can't, he's eyesore tested, tested,

5:59

he's dust resistant and water resistant as

6:02

well. What time are you gonna, what

6:04

time are you gonna leave the house?

6:06

I think it's gonna be quite early.

6:08

I think we might have to do

6:11

a... a standstead hotel which presents it's

6:13

worse. It gets even worse. This is

6:15

Christmas holiday for me hearing about it.

6:17

Life difficult life. Life difficult even when

6:20

you're doing a nice thing is life

6:22

is quite difficult I think. They say

6:24

that in like surveys and stuff like

6:26

family holidays it was among the most

6:29

stressful things you can do along with

6:31

like moving house and stuff like that.

6:33

Yeah, and Sarah won't thank me if

6:35

you say this, but on one of

6:38

her family holidays when she was little,

6:40

they had a real paunchant for getting

6:42

on a boss for what feels like

6:45

two days down to the south of

6:47

Spain. Just, I mean, good God. I'm

6:49

glad I first went abroad. Well, I'm

6:51

glad I first went to Jersey on

6:54

a plane when I was 26. Oh,

6:56

because your girlfriend was from there at

6:58

the time of the day. So the

7:00

first time you went on a plane,

7:03

26? I went on like a little

7:05

sort of two, three man plane that

7:07

my dad took me up in York

7:09

one time when we were on holiday.

7:12

Scarborough and they flew us around and

7:14

then put us back down again. That

7:16

was a rickety plan. He shouldn't have

7:18

done that. He's a silly. He's a

7:21

silly sausage. Yeah, it was exciting, but

7:23

it's still scary. It was just a

7:25

tiny little World War II playing on

7:28

it. It's a very, very weird. That's

7:30

such an 80 story. Yeah. Which is

7:32

sister in it as well. No, just

7:34

me, just me. But, um... But where

7:37

was I going with that? I can't

7:39

think of. Those kind of coach trip

7:41

type holidays. We did one of those

7:43

at school. But we were in like

7:46

year nine. And it was a. bus

7:48

journey from Portsmouth to a place called

7:50

Interlaken in Switzerland. Right. And we all

7:52

went on the bus together like obviously

7:55

students and teachers and all that stuff

7:57

and it was honestly an absolutely ridiculous

7:59

journey because that is a fucking long

8:01

way right? Yeah. I'm just looking out

8:04

now. It's like a... with no stops

8:06

at all it's like a 14 hour

8:08

drive and then obviously you have to

8:11

stop because you've got it's a coach

8:13

and you've got kids and it's probably

8:15

slower than a coach anyway so it's

8:17

basically a long old hot and I

8:20

can remember for the first couple of

8:22

hours for all the kids like working

8:24

out you're sitting next to and all

8:26

this kind of stuff yeah it was

8:29

exciting and I think we end up

8:31

leaving really in the morning I remember

8:33

leaving when it was dark but about

8:35

four hours in it's just carnage like

8:38

fights people throwing food yeah like proper

8:40

cash and I understand that if you're

8:42

14 it's kind of all part of

8:44

it imagine being a teacher on that

8:47

in my role now as a mid-forties

8:49

man right you could not pay me

8:51

enough to do that no I mean

8:54

like yeah but imagine if you were

8:56

living at the top of the country

8:58

and and I forget I did go

9:00

abroad a couple times to Holland and

9:03

to I think we went to Antwerp,

9:05

I think. But you just said if

9:07

you were first on a plane, so

9:09

you didn't go on a plane, right?

9:12

No, we went on a bus and

9:14

a ferry, but going all the way

9:16

down the country just to get to

9:18

Dover, just to get on a four-hour,

9:21

you know, quite nippy ferry, and then

9:23

driving even more to where we need

9:25

to be. I mean, that's a weird

9:27

one. It probably only cost us 30

9:30

quid or something. Yeah Craig, that's that's

9:32

that's not I mean for me I

9:34

remember having like a good time and

9:37

stuff but it was pretty full on.

9:39

I think I think the story I

9:41

was trying to get to was that

9:43

I think Sarah the baby had she'd

9:46

either saw gone missing or she'd climbed

9:48

under one of the um one of

9:50

the pillows in the train and her

9:52

mum thought that she'd fallen through the

9:55

bottom of the train. Oh my god.

9:57

So she's running around saying the baby's

9:59

fallen through the bottom of the train

10:01

which isn't a feature most people will

10:04

be familiar with on a train but

10:06

yeah I imagine that. would probably elevate

10:08

the stress to even more. So what

10:10

I'm going to basically tell myself. So

10:13

I think your baby's dead probably is

10:15

more stressful, yeah. So I think I'm

10:17

not going to, I'm going to, we're

10:20

not going to go on any train,

10:22

so baby's not going to fall through

10:24

the bottom of the train. No. So

10:26

yeah, that's, that's, that's, well, it won't

10:29

be a trade with one of those

10:31

things that in old silent movers have

10:33

to push to pedal up, pedalle up

10:35

and down. When we flew back from

10:38

Boston late last year, rather than do

10:40

the overnight flight, we did the 730

10:42

from Boston to the UK, it gets

10:44

you back about 7 p.m. local time

10:47

here. And so we had to get

10:49

up at 4, but we were staying

10:51

in the hotel by the airport. And

10:53

that was kind of OK, because we

10:56

were already on holiday. And coming back

10:58

during the day, he was fine, because

11:00

my son had his naps as normal.

11:03

And he was pretty good. He's pretty

11:05

low maintenance, as toddlers go. So it's

11:07

actually fine. But I think the very

11:09

idea of getting, because the one thing

11:12

that is stressful about travelling with my

11:14

son is that he gets really car

11:16

sick. So on the way there, I

11:18

might have mentioned it to you, on

11:21

the way there, it's about a 50,

11:23

50 minute drive to Heathrow from where

11:25

we live, and he vomited four times.

11:27

Yeah, that's, that's, that's, on the way

11:30

to the airport. So like we had

11:32

already gone through both his changes to

11:34

clothes by the time we got onto

11:36

the plane. I mean, I mean, I

11:39

mean, I'm going to go on a

11:41

limb here. Was it your driving? Were

11:43

you sort of doing some of your

11:46

drifting that you like to do around

11:48

corners? Yeah, it was like, I was

11:50

like, the last thing I said to

11:52

him before he puked everywhere was, look

11:55

at me son. Look at me, I'm

11:57

Viddy Diesel. What's me? We're family. Watch

11:59

me take off, son, over this speed

12:01

bump. Listen to me, my son. This

12:04

car has got so much talk, it's

12:06

twisted the chassis. That's what I say.

12:08

Did you see that? There's a guy

12:10

called Jerry Rigger Everything Who I enjoy.

12:13

This kind of bald, handsome man who

12:15

basically... He takes every major kind of

12:17

flagship mobile phone and he's got, and

12:19

he just damages them, basically, he just,

12:22

he applies heat to them, he scratches

12:24

them with different hardness of kind of

12:26

sticks. He just smashes them up and

12:29

sort of says which, which, you know,

12:31

which mobile phones are more, you know,

12:33

resistance to damaging and stuff. So it's

12:35

quite a good little kind of test

12:38

for anyone who's a bit, you know,

12:40

a bit clumsy with their mobile phones.

12:42

to sort of look what he's reviewing.

12:44

And he took a cyber truck and

12:47

basically used a bit of like farming

12:49

machinery sort of thing to pull on

12:51

the back of it, like the back

12:53

of the aluminium frame itself, not the

12:56

bumper, nothing plastic, nothing steel, you know,

12:58

the thing that actually, the aluminium frame

13:00

of the actual car itself, the chassis.

13:02

And he pulls down in it and

13:05

it's just, and it's like chocolate, it's

13:07

like really bad stuff. So, uh... You

13:09

don't get a safety certificate for the

13:12

UK and stuff. I guess I think

13:14

it's more to do with the old

13:16

sharp corners because that's like, it's like

13:18

something like a fricking karmageddon. You may

13:21

as well have big spikes in the

13:23

front of your car really. I saw

13:25

one of them in real life, I

13:27

saw on the cape again, like just

13:30

before Christmas, way out in, wellfully, near

13:32

the near the near the tip of

13:34

the tip of the tip of the

13:36

cape of the cape of the cape.

13:39

Cape Cod and honestly the first thing

13:41

you think of when you see it

13:43

have you seen one driving in real

13:45

life I'm not saying that I mean

13:48

they had gigantic things aren't they probably

13:50

one of the first of all is

13:52

it is fucking massive yeah and secondly

13:55

it's like a joke car It's like

13:57

someone, you know what it reminded me

13:59

of? It reminded me of when I

14:01

went to DragonCon and everyone was doing

14:04

cosplay and someone cosplayed Wally. Right, yeah.

14:06

Like the biggest Wally you've ever seen.

14:08

Painted to look like it's metal. Yeah,

14:10

yeah. But it's cardboard, where obviously in

14:13

this case it is metal, but it

14:15

looks like a joke car. I find

14:17

it the most, honestly the most. baffling

14:19

status symbol I can think of. Proper

14:22

late stage capitalism stuff. Yeah, but I

14:24

mean it's dawn on the lips somehow

14:26

when you're going for your funny car.

14:28

I don't feel like I've been owned

14:31

though, but I don't feel like I've

14:33

been owned though, but I don't feel

14:35

alone to be honest. Because sometimes you

14:38

just go down... you know you keep

14:40

on the lips until you forget who

14:42

the lips are and you just end

14:44

up making a silly car. Apparently it

14:47

was all based on an Apple II

14:49

video game from back in the day

14:51

that I think he admitted he played

14:53

where like the default car looked like

14:56

a... cyber truck basically from the side

14:58

and apparently that's where the all comes

15:00

from but yeah it's first have you

15:02

seen how much has been knocked off

15:05

the test the share price yeah I

15:07

mean even like the correction the course

15:09

correction that was going to happen from

15:11

the massive leap that happened when Trump

15:14

got in with him Even that correction

15:16

is like way wide of where they

15:18

should be right now because people just

15:21

aren't buying. I mean, I think people

15:23

who have, Tesla's are probably thinking, do

15:25

I look like a piece right now?

15:27

Do I look like a silly sausage?

15:30

Yeah, because the majority of, so what's

15:32

kind of lost in a lot of,

15:34

um... It's quite a liberal thing to

15:36

do, having an electric car, isn't it?

15:39

Do you know what I mean? That's

15:41

what I'm going to say. So there's

15:43

two things at play. That's a very

15:45

confusing element of it. But also, the

15:48

other thing that has forgotten a lot

15:50

in our kind of polarized discourse is

15:52

that, you know, go outside. Most people

15:54

are just... basically normal. They don't feel

15:57

that strongly either way about stuff. And

15:59

so to go fully all in and

16:01

to me, to put it mildly, you

16:04

have to have a pretty brass neck

16:06

to go into the over-office of the

16:08

world's media, say you're going to cut

16:10

everyone's fucking benefits and then complain that

16:13

they don't like you very much. Yeah.

16:15

And then flip that into some kind

16:17

of, I'm being targeted just for the

16:19

brave work. I'm doing it. You've been

16:22

a complete kunt to everyone. You find

16:24

everyone and the universe has decided because

16:26

you've been acting like a kunt for

16:28

ages, you're now a kunt. Yeah. So

16:31

that's the point of finding out the

16:33

sky and you're, you know, rinsing the

16:35

FAA, you know, you're putting your little

16:37

boxes in the FAA for their main

16:40

communication systems that you can literally turn

16:42

off at any, whenever you fancy doing

16:44

that. And I mean, that's, you are

16:47

going to be labelled to be labelled

16:49

a prat. You are going to be

16:51

able to prop. Can't get to that

16:53

one. It's just it's just the consequences

16:56

that anyone would have to deal with

16:58

by acting like a complete prick for

17:00

months on end. But I don't understand

17:02

what you think you, I do understand

17:05

because he's completely ridiculous and how he

17:07

lives his life and he's obviously in

17:09

a different world to the rest of

17:11

us. But that has really been the

17:14

case ever since, you know, civilization's been

17:16

around. Yeah. You could, you know, fuck

17:18

around and find out. It's the very,

17:20

very definition of chat, shit get banged,

17:23

isn't it? Exactly, it's like the whole

17:25

memes they love to fucking stick out.

17:27

Oh look, me sewing, hell yeah, hell

17:30

yeah, me reaping, oh, fucking out, this

17:32

sucks. You know? I also read an

17:34

amazing story the other day about, I

17:36

can't find the detail of it, so

17:39

I apologize if I get this wronged

17:41

musk in these guys, got another guy.

17:43

to climb up on top of, it

17:45

was over the White House or one

17:48

of the buildings in the White House

17:50

complex, to climb up on top of

17:52

the roof, to put a Starlink thing

17:54

up there? Right, okay. But didn't tell

17:57

anyone? Right. So the secret service were

17:59

like, there's a fucking guy on the

18:01

roof. I think a long story short

18:03

is very lucky to escape with his

18:06

fucking life. It's not like a sniper.

18:08

So what kind of chaotic thing is

18:10

happening here? You know, you just check

18:13

them up on the roof. Just come

18:15

on there. Yeah, absolutely fine. Absolutely insane.

18:17

Anyway, Peter, let's have a quick break.

20:30

I'm listening to a new podcast from

20:32

tortoise called Lucky Boy. It's the story

20:34

of a schoolboy in 1980s London called

20:36

Gareth who says that when he was

20:39

just 14 he fell in love with

20:41

an attractive young chemistry teacher at his

20:43

school. For months he spent his afternoons

20:45

in her bedroom and he felt like

20:48

the luckiest boy in the world until

20:50

all of a sudden she left and

20:52

everything started to unravel. After years spent

20:54

coming to terms with what happened to

20:56

him Gareth doesn't feel so special anymore

20:59

and now he's looking for justice. As

21:01

listeners to the Luke and Pete show

21:03

we think you'd also love listening to

21:05

Lucky Boy so to listen search for

21:08

Lucky Boy wherever you get your podcasts.

21:10

It's the look of a picture. It's

21:12

time for batteries. Ian's got in touch

21:14

from Victoria, B.C. before cheese. Hello Jensen.

21:17

We've got Larkinadian listeners before cheese. We

21:19

do, exactly. And after cheese, they're used

21:21

as little, fried, fried, fried cheese, wouldn't

21:23

you? Oh, yeah, those little glasses of

21:26

like fortified wine. a Sherry or port

21:28

or whatever. Yeah, okay. Is a Malort

21:30

not an old lady's kind of, it

21:32

was like an old lady's wine, wasn't

21:35

it? Malort. Malort is like a, it's

21:37

like a, it's not like made of

21:39

some kind of wood. Oh, I don't

21:41

know then. I like that even in

21:44

its own literature, Malort calls itself a...

21:46

whole arising taste. I think it was

21:48

originally like an old lady sort of

21:50

German tipple or something and then I

21:52

think some hipsters got old of it

21:55

and made it the national drink of

21:57

Chicago or whatever. Yeah, I've heard of

21:59

the people in Chicago making us drink

22:01

it when we were there. Not ideal.

22:04

Anyway, Ian says I was really working

22:06

at 5M by small column. So so

22:08

so noisy. You've had your lunch before.

22:10

Well he's a little smoke alarm boy.

22:13

the fire alarm, my frustration to under

22:15

excitement as a potential new player revealed

22:17

itself. Is there anything better than a

22:19

5am battery daddy nomination? Is there anything

22:22

better than a 5 or 5am email

22:24

to the Hello Luke picture email box?

22:26

I present to you the GP Power

22:28

Cell modelled by Seed of the Cat.

22:31

Please confirm it is a new player

22:33

to make my early wake up call

22:35

worthwhile. Much obliged Ian and Victoria B.

22:37

C. G.P. It's not a new player.

22:40

Not a new player. G.P. Power, so

22:42

it's a lot rarer than G.P. Ultra,

22:44

but it's still not a new player.

22:46

And our friend Kent Vargensut to send

22:48

it in before. So I'm afraid you're

22:51

not first of the punch there. And

22:53

even though you've got an extra eye

22:55

in your name. Yes, we do have

22:57

a few of those kicking. I'm on

23:00

miniature nutrition scales that I call my

23:02

drug dealer scale to a non- my

23:04

girlfriend. I think these can't be a

23:06

new player. But I don't remember them

23:09

being read out. My girlfriend, French, doesn't

23:11

understand why I'm now sending photos of

23:13

batteries to men in the UK, but

23:15

however, she was genuinely happy for me

23:18

that I am twice entered into the

23:20

battery daddy, even though she thinks in

23:22

Berlin, where we live, that might have

23:24

no other meanings, maybe a regular at

23:27

Kit Kat. Have a good one, Jordan,

23:29

Berlin. I don't remember what we were

23:31

talking about Kit Kat style. Is that

23:33

some kind of like Berlin Sex Club?

23:35

Fair ado. I'm sure there are plenty

23:38

of things at the Kit Kat Club

23:40

in Berlin that would require... Well, two

23:42

double A, two double A's, I think

23:44

that's pretty standard stuff for most of

23:47

you, sexual devices. I'll read you the

23:49

first sentence, the Wikipedia page, the Kit

23:51

Kat Club in Berlin. Okay. And you

23:53

can judge what you think. Yeah. The

23:56

Kit Kat Club is a nightclub in

23:58

Berlin. Opened in March 1994 by Austrian

24:00

pornographic filmmaker Simon Thaw. What great name.

24:02

Yeah. Yeah. Patriots are diverse including heterosexual

24:05

and members of the LGBT Plus community.

24:07

Guests are allowed to engage in sexual

24:09

intercourse openly at the venue. Good stuff,

24:11

okay, right. I think, I think the

24:14

last, I was reading that... It's not

24:16

where you're flying from a jet too,

24:18

is it? No, no, I think in

24:20

Camden there was one that was, I

24:23

think, I can't remember what the torture

24:25

garden, but I think it was like

24:27

slime light, was a club night somewhere.

24:29

that like a friend of a friend

24:31

always posts about on Instagram like won't

24:34

stop talking about it but apparently it's

24:36

it's stopped any sort of sexual contact

24:38

in its clubs and therefore the last

24:40

sort of slightly more informal sort of

24:43

nightclub sex club which it's very exciting

24:45

no just because of uh I think

24:47

like you're basically consent issues I suppose

24:49

but yeah no well it's still apparently

24:52

Kit Kat Club still going strong on

24:54

Berlin everyone Sorry, yeah, the name of

24:56

the battery is Fregor, Super Heavy Duty.

24:58

Yeah, the 12th person to send those

25:01

in. Oh, that's a sure. I'm afraid.

25:03

No one, John Berlin. Joe, yeah, so

25:05

not quite a new player, but the

25:07

rest of you. First, first to send

25:10

those in, was Gary in August of

25:12

2018, so it's been a while. a

25:14

show. Dan has got in touch. Hi

25:16

Dan! Hello the Luke the Pete. I

25:19

recently caved in the technology world and

25:21

bought myself a Meta Quest 3. We

25:23

were talking about inflation either at the

25:25

start of this show or the one

25:27

before and it turns out you know

25:30

the old V.R. Goggles, big in Dan's

25:32

world, Meta Quest 3. Upon opening the

25:34

controller I saw these hair bright alkalines.

25:36

If these new players it'll be worth

25:39

the constant thought of Mark Zuckerberg is

25:41

probably starring at the inside of my

25:43

house. Thank you dad, great email. Well

25:45

Daniel I'm really sorry to say these

25:48

aren't new players but you're so close.

25:50

The first time we received one of

25:52

these was a couple of weeks ago

25:54

based on my search. Obviously make it

25:57

into the short list of three that

25:59

particular week but... You sent these in

26:01

on March 13th. We had someone else

26:03

send them in on February 26th. It

26:06

was the second time we've had them.

26:08

You're very close, but I'm afraid it's

26:10

not quite a new player. So, commiserations

26:12

to you, Dan. A massive, massive shame.

26:15

But look, maybe there'll be a battery

26:17

daddy in virtuality that you can enjoy

26:19

in the near future. Before we go,

26:21

should we just squeeze this email in

26:23

from our friend Mark? Yes, please. He

26:26

was emailing in from the Bay Area

26:28

in the US. He says, hearing your

26:30

blood type and donation chat prompted me

26:32

to chime in with an interesting fact.

26:35

I learned about myself while doing a

26:37

blood donation. So do you remember, Peter,

26:39

a couple of weeks ago we talked

26:41

about a guy who saved like 2.4

26:44

million babies lives with his donation as

26:46

quite rare blood? What a guy. Yeah,

26:48

absolutely. Mark says, back when I was

26:50

in high school, our school would hold

26:53

a blood donation twice a year, where

26:55

any student over the age of 16

26:57

was allowed to sign up, having just

26:59

turned 16, I took this opportunity to

27:02

sign up, do something charitable. It definitely

27:04

wasn't just to get out of two

27:06

classes and get free snacks. Skip ahead

27:08

to a few weeks later, and I

27:10

receive a letter in the mail from

27:13

the blood drive company saying thanks for

27:15

my donation, but they had to throw

27:17

it away. Oh. This was because unbeknownst

27:19

to me my blood was infected by

27:22

cytomegalovirus or CMV for short. CMV is

27:24

a lifelong infection that a healthy individual

27:26

can remain dormant and cause no harm,

27:28

however it can reactivate in individuals with

27:31

weakened immune systems and can be passed

27:33

on by pregnant women to their children.

27:35

This was news to me. There's none

27:37

of my doctors that ever mentioned this

27:40

to me, however it's a nice thing

27:42

to know for the future. I have

27:44

no scientific basis. for this but I

27:46

always tell people the bugs don't bite

27:49

me because my blood tastes nasty due

27:51

to this virus. Love the pod, queue

27:53

up the great work mark from the

27:55

Bay Area. That's crazy. I didn't realise

27:58

they would sort of test your blood

28:00

to that degree. I guess they have

28:02

to, right? Yeah. Yeah, I guess they've

28:04

got to know what they've got to

28:06

know because they do say when you

28:09

do blood donations they say don't they

28:11

do not do not use this service

28:13

as a blood test because it wastes

28:15

a load of our fucking time I

28:18

have to check it right but they

28:20

still test it anywhere that sounds like

28:22

it should be used as a blood

28:24

test then because you got to test

28:27

that blood anyway it's happening whether you

28:29

like it or not wasn't there it's

28:31

been a big scandal the effective blood

28:33

scandal in the UK was when for

28:36

20 years like for 20 years like

28:38

HIV and hepatitis and hepatitis and hepatitis

28:40

and hepatitis and hepatitis and hepatitis and

28:42

hepatitis and hepatitis and hepatitis and given

28:45

to people through blood products. Yeah, because

28:47

I wouldn't test them properly. There's loads

28:49

of people waiting for compensation about it,

28:51

aren't there? Yeah, that's got a cost

28:54

in it. There was so many people

28:56

affected. It's crazy. It's got a point

28:58

where I don't think they can afford

29:00

to do it because I think like

29:02

some kind of tribunal said that every

29:05

single person that was a victim of

29:07

it should get like too many and

29:09

quid. Yeah, and you would literally bankrupt

29:11

the entire world if you did it.

29:14

All right darling we'll be back on

29:16

Monday look after yourselves if you are

29:18

choosing to go and watch a football

29:20

match just don't shout so much don't

29:23

do do not shout so much because

29:25

you will sound like me why aren't

29:27

there Luke you know you get like

29:29

when you take a picture on your

29:32

phone you can get like AI to

29:34

make your face look a bit hotter

29:36

why isn't that for like a the

29:38

old the old speech why can't sound

29:41

like I'm absolutely fixed you probably can't

29:43

yeah I saw a AI tool that

29:45

example thing that converted three or four

29:47

minutes of the rambling to perfect Spanish?

29:50

Yeah, mad that, isn't it? I think

29:52

YouTube does it for a few accounts

29:54

now. The Bronze Japan podcast on video

29:56

does it? And they always choose a

29:58

very deep-voiced Italian man for my voice,

30:01

which is very sexy. I bet you,

30:03

that's not the most difficult one you've

30:05

had, is it? No, exactly. And I,

30:07

over the weekend, saw a couple of

30:10

minutes, I took a picture of them,

30:12

used AI to make them kiss, sent

30:14

that video to one of their partners

30:16

and they thought it was real and

30:19

were a bit put out by it

30:21

all. Redful friend. Just the most appalling

30:23

friend. Good bye all! Have a lovely

30:25

weekend! The

30:47

Luke and Pete show is a

30:49

stack production and part of the

30:51

A-cast creator network. Hi everyone, Luke

30:53

here. Now I'm listening to a

30:55

new podcast from Tortis called Lucky

30:58

Boy. It's the story of a

31:00

schoolboy in 1980s London called Gareth,

31:02

who says that when he was

31:04

just 14, he fell in love

31:06

with an attractive young chemistry teacher

31:08

at his school. For months he

31:10

spent his afternoons in her bedroom

31:13

and he felt like the luckiest

31:15

boy in the world until all

31:17

of a sudden she left and

31:19

everything started to unravel. After years

31:21

spent coming to terms with what

31:23

happened to him Gareth doesn't feel

31:26

so special anymore and now he's

31:28

looking for justice. As listeners to

31:30

the Luke and Pete show we

31:32
