1:10

Moore. All right. Watch you, mate.

1:13

All right, let's go on. All right,

1:15

muscles. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.

1:17

You may have noticed that I

1:19

have a, when people aren't very

1:21

well and they lose their voice

1:23

a bit, they always got to

1:25

go, oh, I've got a really

1:27

husky sexy sexy voice, but I

1:30

haven't. and they don't and it's

1:32

never nice to listen to so

1:34

I'd like to apologize now for

1:36

me having a rough old voice

1:38

but I'm still recovering from losing

1:41

my voice I'd quembly. Yeah. Do

1:43

you want to tell people why

1:45

you've just started to upend my

1:47

week entirely and then apologize to

1:49

me afterwards? What do you mean?

1:51

Why have upended your week? I

1:54

just couldn't record yesterday because my

1:56

voice had left me which is

1:58

gallivanting. in a way that excluded

2:00

me. I was enjoying myself in

2:03

a way that included 50,000 jardies.

2:05

So, yeah. In many ways. So

2:07

we're recording this a week, so

2:10

this will be coming out of

2:12

Monday, so a week after, because

2:14

we're a week ahead, because we're

2:17

just so organised. And what I'll

2:19

do is I'll just pretend that

2:21

I, I'm celebrating Dan Burns England

2:23

goal against Albania this Friday. Nice,

2:26

that's a nice idea, yeah. On

2:28

abroad in Japan, we did a

2:30

story about, I think it was

2:32

either a train decoupling or maybe

2:34

a shop where you're allowed to,

2:36

where you basically pay to shoplift.

2:39

You sort of turn up a

2:41

shop. and you have to pretend

2:43

to be a thief and steal

2:45

things from the shop, but you

2:47

are actually paying for the goods,

2:49

but it's very exciting and silly.

2:51

And then another sort of Japan

2:53

sort of Chris Broad. sort of

2:55

YouTube a guy. He did the

2:57

story but he did it yesterday

2:59

and then we released our show

3:02

today but we'd actually recorded it

3:04

10 days ago. Oh I know the way.

3:06

What do we do there? What do we

3:08

do? It's annoying. We can only protest so

3:10

much. I know but that would be the

3:13

case because I know intimately how these things

3:15

work for a lot of people will just

3:17

be like ah. Copy Cats. Copy cats. Copy

3:19

cats, plagiarism. Yeah. And if you do get

3:22

a suit for plagiarism, I won't be lending

3:24

any character or witnessing to defend you, Peter.

3:26

Why? I don't steal anything. No, that's true,

3:28

you don't. And a lot of the stuff

3:31

that I do cannot be stolen because it

3:33

wouldn't make any sense. No one want it.

3:35

No one want it. Exactly. With the

3:37

old paying money to have a shoplifting

3:40

experience, that's presumably not going to work

3:42

because every single security guard that they

3:44

employ there is going to know that

3:46

everyone is shoplifting. So what's the point?

3:48

I think that's codified into the whole

3:50

sort of regime. Because the whole point

3:53

of getting away with shoplifting presumably is

3:55

that most of the shoppers aren't shoplifters.

3:57

So the security guard didn't necessarily suspect

3:59

them. so they're gonna kind of

4:01

suspect everyone. Imagine if like he

4:04

didn't catch every, I mean just just assume

4:06

that everyone's in their shoplifting and and deal

4:08

with them accordingly one would suggest. What was

4:10

your take on that Peter? How do you

4:12

feel about shoplifting? Do you shoplifted a few

4:15

bits in your teenage years? I never shoplifted

4:17

a single thing. I stole some books from

4:19

school which made my mom and dad assume

4:21

that I was a master criminal so that

4:23

every time we were in a shop they

4:26

presumed that I was on the on the

4:28

steel. What books are you still from school?

4:30

Just you know like you know some book book people

4:32

come around and they used to have that

4:34

big like wooden shell like wooden mobile shelves

4:36

with them and they'd sort of come with

4:39

the books and they'd sell them for like

4:41

you know absolutely I mean it's a disgrace

4:43

for a little hustle that they've got like

4:45

an independent trade and just coming around and

4:47

selling raw dolls to the people but um

4:49

I guess they were a little bit cheaper

4:52

than what you'd get in W.H. Smiths. And

4:54

so yeah, I stole some of those books

4:56

and came home and I said, look ma'am

4:58

dad, I won these in a competition, which

5:00

was good actually because they thought it was

5:02

more of a cry for help rather than

5:05

a cry for attention. So did they report

5:07

it to your school or not? I think

5:09

I may have got caught. I remember I

5:11

was stripped from appearing in the school

5:13

player that yeah. That's a harsh sentence.

5:15

It is a harsh sentence in primary

5:18

school. It just seems to be a

5:20

bit junior school. What role were you

5:22

set to perform? I think I was

5:24

I would think I was one of

5:26

the main roles to be honest. Oh

5:28

man, this is like when Daniel Day

5:30

Lewis stopped doing Hamlet in the middle

5:32

of the run. Yeah, I may have

5:34

Steve Coogan every second week on anything

5:36

he's ever done, on anything he's life.

5:38

love as I told you and he

5:40

wasn't before with. Yeah, I've sort of

5:42

noticed that he does that a bit

5:44

on live stuff. I actually, so I

5:46

got annoyed about that and I went

5:49

to, I watched on YouTube some clips

5:51

of him doing it and I actually

5:53

think he's worse than the guy who

5:55

did it anyway. Yeah, yeah, okay. I

5:57

think the guy who did it was

5:59

absolutely brilliant. Louis story? No, was he

6:01

method acting a man who didn't want

6:04

to do a theatre play that yet?

6:06

So I think it was, yeah, he

6:08

decided that he had to really immerse

6:10

himself in the role of actually a

6:13

lazy man. I'm sorry I have to

6:15

stop doing Hamlet, I'm a lazy man

6:17

now. Yeah, no apparently, and I'll see

6:20

interviews with him about this. I think

6:22

it was the first project he had

6:24

done after his father died. Right, okay.

6:27

And he had obviously prepared how he

6:29

normally prepares for this role, doing Hamlet

6:31

in the West End. And half of

6:33

through the run, apparently he started to

6:36

see premonitions like hallucinations of his own

6:38

dad, and had a bit of a

6:40

mental breakdown and had to immediately stop

6:43

doing it. And it was really dramatic

6:45

why he told the story. It was

6:47

actually very convincing and very interesting. And

6:50

then of course, like, he shuffles onto

6:52

the... quite difficult, rhetorical topic which is

6:54

that all the people that lost their

6:56

jobs because there was no more show.

6:59

Yes. And you kind of have less

7:01

sympathy for him at that point. Yeah.

7:03

But I mean... Basically, every single other

7:06

car class, I think that had to

7:08

stop it. So every single other cast

7:10

member was out of work. I mean,

7:13

that's issue. And presumably, season to season,

7:15

you wouldn't get another job for another

7:17

six months, would you? Well I don't

7:19

know about that, but what I do

7:22

know is that Daniel Day Lewis is

7:24

probably the best actor in the world,

7:26

so you've got to give him his

7:29

dues. There wasn't anything about how he

7:31

perhaps, you know, gave him some money,

7:33

I don't know, gave him some compensation,

7:36

maybe he did, maybe he did, I

7:38

don't know. But if you walk out

7:40

of a luke and peat show episode,

7:42

because you're starting to have hallucinations about

7:45

your dad. Just tell me, can I

7:47

arrange replacement? Yeah, I mean we could

7:49

monotise that, couldn't we? Probably. A little

7:52

YouTube shot of me flipping out, thinking

7:54

I'm seeing my dad's. We have done

7:56

that, haven't me? Pretty much, yeah. So

7:59

can you remember what books it was

8:01

you stole? I think the giraffe and

8:03

peli and me, you know, the... Oh

8:05

yeah, a lesser known role, darling... role

8:08

dial, big fan of role dial back

8:10

in the day. Yeah, just some third

8:12

rate role dial wannabees, Quentin Blake probably

8:15

doing the artistry. I remember feeling very

8:17

cheated. Big fan of Quentin Blake's rotten

8:19

pictures of the Twits and the witches

8:22

and BFG and stuff. I felt very

8:24

cheated when he started doing pictures and

8:26

drawings for other children's authors. Yeah, I

8:28

just always assumed that Roldahl had some

8:31

kind of exclusivity on his work, but

8:33

clearly that's not going to... Well, would

8:35

that be the case though? That's a

8:38

very charge. Yeah, I just thought that

8:40

I was a free market conversation. Part

8:42

of the kind of Roldahl kind of

8:45

relationship, I just always thought that it

8:47

would... He was so quick, intentionally sort

8:49

of linked, by the way, Quentin Blake

8:51

is still alive. Is he now? Right,

8:54

okay. I think he started writing his

8:56

own books for a little while. He

8:58

must have thought, I can get in

9:01

on this. People are on here for

9:03

the drawings. I have little fantasies about

9:05

having a little roll dial shed. Yeah.

9:08

You can go down and you just

9:10

have, you have a load of two-be

9:12

pencils. You have some writing materials. and

9:14

you get a little free bar fire

9:17

for the winter months and a little

9:19

a little bit of cloth for your

9:21

knees and you can just sort of

9:24

you know think about you was your

9:26

auntie see might I think it might

9:28

have been an auntie see mate wasn't

9:31

he yeah he was did a lot

9:33

of sexy sexy books and a lot

9:35

of horror books as well he did

9:37

yes was that you in the war

9:40

starts to take on a different dimension

9:42

when you know that yeah exactly exactly

9:44

producer Taylor's put and basically just put

9:47

in the little chat there that Rolldahl

9:49

didn't always do kids books. He's got

9:51

some quite big sex related books. Well,

9:54

if you think I'm not going to

9:56

write Rolldahl sexy book, uh, switch bitch.

9:58

Wow. Wow. There's one called switch bitch.

10:00

And yeah, he's not under a non-de-plume,

10:03

a non-de-plume rather, he's doing whatever he

10:05

wants. Stories originally published in Playboy, they

10:07

are linked by themes of rape by

10:10

deception in each one, some major act

10:12

of cunning cruelty or hedonism, underpins the

10:14

sexuality. So, wow. There was definitely, I

10:17

wouldn't say there's a sexy undertone to

10:19

his children's books because that would be

10:21

strange, but there's definitely a kind of...

10:23

horror undertone to a lot of his

10:26

children's books, the Twits, what's the one

10:28

with the really frightening grand, is it

10:30

George's Marvelous Medicine? Right, yeah, yeah, that

10:33

rings in well. You just know that

10:35

the BFG has a big hog or

10:37

something, you know, I mean you just

10:40

know that, it just, I look at

10:42

his ears for crying out, I look

10:44

at his nose, he's gonna out, we're

10:46

packing that guy. You say you look

10:49

more and more like him every year?

10:51

What? It looked more and more like

10:53

a BFG every year. It really looks

10:56

like a BFG actually. Our ears and

10:58

our noses really do kind of keep

11:00

growing so I imagine we'll sort of

11:03

get there eventually. I did a, I

11:05

remember as a school and we read

11:07

a book like a short story and

11:09

this English teacher didn't tell us the

11:12

author and it was a horror story.

11:14

It was actually really frightening. It must

11:16

be about 14. And then at the

11:19

end of it he revealed that it

11:21

was rolled dull who wrote it and

11:23

he wrote it and he said that

11:26

it. If you had read it knowing

11:28

it was real dull, you might have

11:30

read it in a different way because

11:32

of what you're used to reading by

11:35

him. Yes, okay. And I found that

11:37

quite interesting. After being widowed, a woman

11:39

reconnects with the man she left for

11:42

her late husband years ago, the man

11:44

is a gynecologist, the last act. That's

11:46

poor. Two middle-class suburban men at a

11:49

neighbourhood party devised a ruz where... by

11:51

each can sleep with the other's wife

11:53

without either wife realizing the deception. They

11:56

compare sexual techniques beforehand and one receives

11:58

a rude awakening the morning after. Wow.

12:00

These are but imagine if role, I

12:02

mean I've not read any of role,

12:05

our sex stories, but imagine

12:07

if they're all really bad.

12:09

I mean he's doing it

12:11

because he's like he loves

12:13

it. If you are popping

12:15

in a gynecologist, I fear

12:17

he may not have the

12:19

gross sex. You know, have you ever

12:21

read the kind of the, um... I say

12:23

story, but in this case, not as a

12:26

story, I don't mean as a book, I

12:28

just mean as a general story of how,

12:30

of real Dal, talking about his

12:32

daughter dying of menengitis. Right, no.

12:35

It's absolutely harrowing, and it's come

12:37

about, and it's obviously doing the

12:39

rounds again because of this anti-vac

12:41

stuff going on in the US.

12:44

And not menjitis, is it

12:46

menjital measles, one of the two

12:48

of the two, anyway. He basically

12:50

had his daughter, who was only

12:52

young obviously, she got sick with

12:55

either me or the man who

12:57

I can't remember which, and she

12:59

died, like she died really really

13:01

quickly, like in days, and he

13:04

obviously because he's an amazing author,

13:06

he writes about his experience of

13:08

it, it's really powerful to think

13:10

of, as a parent obviously it

13:13

makes it pretty horrible to

13:15

think about, but... Yeah, he used to

13:17

go out of his shed didn't he

13:19

write his books? You know who else

13:21

used to have a little kind

13:23

of writing grief hole? Right. Is

13:25

Charles M Schultz? Oh did he

13:28

write? He draws little peanuts cartoons

13:30

and stuff. Yeah, you'd have a

13:32

little... I don't know if it

13:34

was down the bottom of the

13:36

garden, but you definitely have his

13:38

own little kind of apology cabin.

13:41

I think there were trailblazers back

13:43

there. There's a place down the

13:45

road past an antique store with

13:47

trotters and independent traders car on

13:49

top of the roof. And they

13:51

sell sort of outside sort of

13:53

buildings, out buildings and they've got

13:55

about three of them in like

13:58

a quite a small space. and

14:00

I'm like, how are you going to get that down

14:02

the road? That's going to need to be

14:04

disassembled. It just seems like a lot of

14:06

the ones that are on sale at Market

14:08

Place are, you can have it for cheap,

14:10

but you're going to have to disassemble it

14:12

yourself. Well I've only got one

14:14

to me. I was considering maybe

14:16

building a Wendy house from an

14:19

old gate that I've got kicking

14:21

around. There's got some good wood

14:23

in there. But I mean it's

14:25

I think building anything like an

14:28

actual sort of little mini shed.

14:30

It's actually more complicated than you

14:32

think. A child's going to go

14:35

inside. A child that will not

14:37

enjoy... you know, slicing the hands

14:39

open on hepatitis riddled nails. So

14:41

that, that sort of, it will,

14:44

trusted you implicitly. It will have

14:46

to be, it will happen. It

14:48

will have to be a much

14:50

more rigorous construction than anything else.

14:52

Yeah, because you also will be

14:54

thinking, this will be absolutely fine

14:56

because my daddy built it for

14:58

me. And my daddy is the

15:00

best. Does that add some extra

15:03

pressure, do you think? Yeah, I

15:05

think it does. But the thing,

15:07

what will happen is, knowing how

15:09

these sort of things work, I

15:11

invest my time, my energies, my

15:13

obsession, my obsession, and I'll feel...

15:15

sad about it. And she'll go,

15:17

Daddy, I'm, Daddy, because that's how

15:19

children of the South talk to

15:21

dads. Daddy, I'm bored and I

15:23

say, get in your windy house.

15:26

Get in the windy house. Use

15:28

the windy house. Because my dad

15:30

made me a garage when I

15:32

was little. I must have been

15:34

the only child who wasn't in

15:36

the little cars. But he made

15:38

me like this beautiful little garage

15:40

out of wood and sort of,

15:42

so cardboard brick. and kind of facades and

15:44

it was really good stuff. What did you

15:47

do with that if you didn't like cars?

15:49

Well I clearly had one or two cars that

15:51

had jammed so far into the underground car

15:53

park bit they never came out but you

15:55

could see them from the window. It was

15:58

like some horrific sight of an accident. What

16:00

happened in there? Yeah, it's like a little car burial hall. On the

16:02

bit of landslide. Yeah, and I never really played with it really. I

16:04

look back and I hope that when I say to my dad, I'm

16:06

sorry I didn't play with the garage, he knows that I mean it. But

16:08

I'm just a kid. Is that something you said to him? Yeah, I

16:10

think so. And I've said, like, when I try and build this,

16:12

when the house, when the house isn't, it's going to be an

16:14

absolute nightmare, because it's going to be an absolute nightmare, because it's

16:16

going to be like, it's going to be an absolute nightmare,

16:18

because it's going to be like, because it's going to be like,

16:20

it's going to be an absolute nightmare, because it, because it, it's

16:22

going to be like, because it, it, it, it, it's going to

16:24

be an absolute nightmare, it, because it, it, it, it, it, it, it,

16:26

it's going to be My dad and one

16:28

of the other dads down the street, I

16:30

told you before there was a back

16:33

alley behind our houses where we

16:35

used to play. And a guy,

16:37

a dad from down the street.

16:39

Do remember I told you about the

16:41

guy, the dad who picked up a mate

16:43

of mine and Nick O'Kart and threw

16:45

him? Yes, yes. I remember. Yeah,

16:47

that guy. He was hard. He

16:50

was at marine. And he didn't

16:52

really fully realize at the time

16:54

how mental someone is. He probably,

16:56

possibly even if he felt, no

16:59

fault of his, I think he

17:01

was in the Falkland. Anyway, he

17:03

and my dad, who wasn't in

17:05

the services in the armed forces,

17:07

built first a basketball net to

17:10

regulation height. Right. Set in a

17:12

large bucket of cement, so it would

17:14

stand upright. Yeah. And a decent-sized

17:17

football goal out of spare

17:19

wood. That's awesome. Yeah. Pretty good

17:21

stuff. So my mate used to keep

17:23

the, um... basketball in his garden,

17:26

very much an all-weather thing, but

17:28

you'd obviously you'd kind of gingerly

17:30

kind of maneuver out into the back alley

17:32

when you wanted to play with it because it

17:34

was in a massive bucket of some end. You'd

17:36

sort of have to roll it. I have to

17:38

sort of roll it on one end and the

17:40

goal used to stay in my garden, but

17:43

the thing about that is that like I

17:45

don't think it obviously would have been like

17:47

off cuts of wood and built in a

17:49

very manual way, like a very loving and

17:51

very successful way because we enjoyed it. Wasn't

17:53

really going to last that long in the elements.

17:55

No, I guess you'd love this shit and treat it. Yeah,

17:58

it doesn't matter how much treated would you? it

18:00

does seem to sort of soak up the

18:02

water as I know as a pick of

18:04

attention to myself. Yeah right, you couldn't

18:06

keep it in the, you could put it

18:08

inside. No, no, it's too tall,

18:11

regulation size, isn't it? It wasn't

18:13

quite regularised but it seemed quite

18:15

big to us. Yeah, well your

18:17

children I suppose, isn't it? Would

18:19

it get in the inflation basket,

18:22

Luke? Apparently they've added a load

18:24

of products to the inflation basket

18:26

that what, you know, the things

18:28

that measure inflation, so like... Yeah,

18:31

I know what the inflation basket

18:33

is, Peter. Carry on. Local newspaper

18:35

adverts out. I mean they've been

18:37

out for 10 years at least. Yeah,

18:39

exactly. So the three that are

18:41

out, which is mental, fresh mints,

18:43

why is that leaving? Why was

18:46

that even in there? Who care?

18:48

Really? Is America? Is America? No,

18:50

I think it's Britain. Yeah, local

18:53

newspaper adverts out. I mean they've

18:55

been up for 10 years at

18:57

least. Yeah. DVD rental. In. Again,

19:00

they're, we're, we're behind the curve

19:02

on this one. Virtual reality headsets.

19:05

Even worse, pulled park.

19:07

Hold, oh my god, they're really

19:09

behind the tires going on

19:11

here. They are, head in

19:14

the, yeah. Proud Mary Vaps,

19:16

yeah, they're everywhere. Range Rovers,

19:19

and, oh, let's over there,

19:21

pop-up shops, pop-up shops, pop-up

19:24

shops, pop-up shops. I don't

19:26

think it's not something you have to

19:28

buy them is it? No, it's a good

19:30

point actually. If you ever rent a line

19:32

bike and then not be a lost Mary

19:35

Vape box in the basket. No, there's

19:37

one in my back garden, I have

19:39

no idea where it came from. I think

19:41

the hoodlums are throwing it. There's

19:43

so many, like those kind of

19:45

batteries will be presumably rechargeable. So

19:48

there's just so much, whenever I

19:50

sort of walk past one, there's

19:52

just in the battery boy. Yeah, they're

19:54

blatantly made to look like

19:56

kids toys as well. Yeah,

19:58

yeah, blatantly. I think I don't

20:01

understand about that is that like you

20:03

get a lot of flag as a Vape

20:05

company for that kind of thing and rightly

20:07

so. Why are you doing it? Why not

20:09

just make an adult product? You still

20:11

make money? Yeah. You always need to

20:13

be addicted to nicotine. That's always going

20:16

to happen. But do you not think

20:18

there's things move so slowly that all

20:20

of the... like it's interesting that you

20:22

can... He can't buy a cigarette

20:25

packet without a picture of

20:27

that man, that French-looking guy

20:29

with a very thin mustache

20:31

and the cancer in his

20:33

throat. Which probably sounds not

20:35

like me right now. He,

20:38

like he can't buy cigarettes

20:40

without seeing him or his

20:42

troubled friends and babies without

20:44

that and with vapes, like

20:46

they are so colourful and

20:48

like they're not in any

20:50

way. unenticing are they they're

20:52

they're very they're very colorful

20:55

and delicious looking I wouldn't

20:57

mind a go because the regulation can't

20:59

go quick enough as you say but

21:01

like the smoking one of the things

21:03

it is bare but does bare repeating

21:06

it's like the smoking tobacco statistics

21:08

are like pretty fucking stunning yeah

21:10

like if I don't think it's

21:12

said enough that um Essentially, I

21:14

think, if you, your chances of

21:16

dying prematurely, which I think counts

21:18

as before the age of 80

21:20

or something. Right. Wow. Due to

21:22

smoking, it's about 50%. Yeah. I

21:25

mean. Which is, if you think about

21:27

the percentage chance, you're going to,

21:29

but the most, the most common

21:31

way of, or one of the

21:34

most common ways of dying, say,

21:36

in the UK, say, a car

21:38

accident or something, like your percentage

21:40

of dancers from a, sorry dancing,

21:42

your potential of dying from a car

21:45

accident is I think like someone like

21:47

1% yeah and that is the one

21:49

of the most common ways to

21:51

die particularly in the US and yet if

21:53

you're basically if you if you

21:55

smoke for anything over long to about

21:58

everything anything more than a five years

22:00

which counts like as a long

22:02

time, long time smoking. It's a

22:04

50% chart you'll die early. Yeah.

22:06

I find that, I find the

22:08

fact that that doesn't deter more

22:11

people. just from smoking is quite quite

22:13

wild really. Compared to all of the

22:15

other vices, I imagine like, you know,

22:17

I mean different kinds of dogs probably

22:19

haven't even gone. They're probably up there

22:21

with that kind of damage. Yeah, but

22:23

you're right, like, look at like David

22:25

Lynch, he was always sort of saying,

22:27

I love smoking, it's my favourite thing

22:29

to do, but I know this is

22:31

going to kill me and it's not

22:33

just about the, you know, spectacular cancerses

22:36

or whatever, it's just your body sort

22:38

of. having enough really of it all.

22:40

But I mean you can, like it's

22:42

worth reminding ourselves that you

22:44

can change your habits and

22:46

your body can recover quite considerably.

22:49

But it seems to, you know,

22:51

the... Your body can bounce back.

22:53

What's also on that subject while

22:55

we're on it before we go

22:57

to a break, the public health

23:00

campaign in the UK... against

23:02

smoking has been one of the

23:04

most successful public campaigns in human

23:06

history. You know about that? Basically,

23:09

in 1962, 70% of men smoked.

23:11

Right. That's wild, isn't it? Yeah,

23:13

it's that high. It's crazy. And have a

23:15

guess at what percentage it is now. Smoke

23:18

cigarettes or just, is it exactly

23:20

the best, right? Cigarettes. I would say

23:22

25? 14%. It's just come down. I mean,

23:25

there's obviously other reasons as people. I

23:27

think in the 60s, maybe, obviously, it

23:29

obviously, it wasn't. common knowledge of how

23:31

bad it was for you but you

23:33

just never see people smoking anymore do

23:36

you? I think that I'm always really

23:38

surprised when someone likes up a cigarette

23:40

like to a cigarette yeah yeah like my

23:42

my neighbor is funny funny my neighbors just

23:44

started smoking he started smoking he started smoking

23:47

taking it off good yeah it's funny because

23:49

like he he smoked when he was he

23:51

must be in his early 30s but he

23:53

smoked when he was a teenager and he

23:55

was a teenager and he started and he's

23:57

got a son similar similar race to

23:59

my son. And he's just a little

24:01

bit too much. So he's always out

24:04

in the back garden having a tab.

24:06

He's like, don't tell my business, mate.

24:08

I think she'll probably find out though,

24:10

because it stinks. Stinks of tabs and

24:12

nothing smells of tabs anymore. But yeah,

24:14

back in the day, everything used to

24:16

stink of smoke, right? And that does.

24:18

I find it's so jarring when you

24:20

go to a different country and they

24:22

smoke inside. It's so overpowering now. Kosovo

24:24

was like, I'd like to see Kosovo's

24:26

14% it's easily 80% of friends. Should

24:29

I do how many people smoke in

24:31

Kosovo? Yeah, I mean the percentage of

24:33

smokers in Kosovo is pretty bloody high

24:35

and they also do it in a

24:37

really small cafe and a really small

24:39

cafe. It's like really small cafes. It's

24:41

like inside in a really small cafes.

24:43

It's like really small cafes. It's like

24:45

inside and really small cafes. It's like,

24:47

kind of places in my mind, Anyway,

24:49

let's have a break. It just seeps

24:51

in though, doesn't it really? Yeah, I

24:54

stay absolutely stank. Anyway, let's have a

24:56

break. When we come back, I haven't

24:58

looked at the emails this week, I've been

25:00

so busy, but in the break I'll have a look at the email,

asked, why wouldn't you switch from

Verizon or T-Mobile? Wouldn't you

25:25

there's a look of picture,

27:31

every single, um... post-break

27:33

part of the show. We try and get

27:35

some emails out and I don't think

27:37

this week is going to be any

27:40

exception. I think we should get some

27:42

blumming emails out of our email

27:44

box otherwise. Well I know you

27:46

haven't read any in advance. Well

27:48

I don't know why you're saying

27:50

that. I'm just saying why shouldn't

27:53

we? I haven't read any advance.

27:55

I'm just saying why shouldn't we?

27:57

I haven't read any thoughts about

27:59

said hiatus. and their subsequent glorious

28:01

return. I don't know the story

28:03

of this. What's happened here? Do

28:05

you remember the angel boys? Yeah,

28:07

I remember who they are. I don't know why

28:09

they left. They sort of came back. They

28:11

sort of ramped up the sort of...

28:13

algorithmic kind of rich, I

28:16

like their general kind of

28:18

like quite camp, clearly two

28:20

men in love kind of stuff.

28:22

I love the idea of someone

28:24

who is so going yeah that's

28:26

working great that I agree. That's

28:28

absolutely fine. And yeah the the

28:30

angel boys are two lads, two

28:33

two two two men who are

28:35

in love with each other and

28:37

they just basically walk around Harards

28:39

and sort of more. Oh darling

28:41

I'm going to buy a... delicious

28:43

quas on it's going to be

28:45

50 quid and everything you buy

28:47

is like more expensive that needs

28:49

to be. I'm going to buy three

28:52

umbrellas today and they all cost a

28:54

thousand pounds each and all this stuff

28:56

and they sort of really leaned on

28:59

that stuff almost to the point of

29:01

like I'm going to have an ibuprofen

29:03

that is 55 pounds each. No ibuprofen

29:06

is that expensive and I sort of

29:08

feel like they might have been taking

29:10

the piss there. absorb the ibuprofen. Actually

29:13

why don't they have absolute primo ibuprofins

29:15

for like rich people who want to

29:17

feel like they're richer than everyone else?

29:19

Probably because there's only a certain amount

29:22

of active ingredient you can legally put

29:24

in one aspect. It's a great level

29:26

though, isn't it? You know what I mean? If you're going

29:28

to go on for an ibuprofen, it's going to be

29:30

that in it. I remember you and some of

29:32

the lads being massively into those like... post hangover,

29:34

post drinking hangover sache things that were really expensive

29:37

and told you that he killed your hangover. Yeah,

29:39

they never really, I think there was one, I

29:41

think there was, yeah, I think I used one that was about

29:43

two years ago for news, it's just caffeine in it, like it

29:45

doesn't work. It might sell. If it did work, it would be

29:47

everywhere, wouldn't it? Capules of, it was just capches of charcoal of

29:49

charcoal on the wear out into sleep time, which, which just helps,

29:51

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

29:53

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

29:55

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

29:58

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

30:00

It's like when people think that

30:02

when people think that when they

30:04

take, when they're, you know, when

30:06

people are like having, you know,

30:08

taking cocaine and stuff. And

30:10

like I've read like so

30:13

many long reads, like where

30:15

people have like scientifically and

30:17

factually shown that basically most

30:19

cocaine now is essentially just

30:21

speed and benz cocaine, which is the anesthetic. which the anesthetic they're

30:23

using things like strepsils and stuff like that, but it numbs you,

30:25

so it feels like it's cocaine. And the rest of it is

30:28

just like placebo, psychosomatic effect, you think you're on cocaine, so that's

30:30

that. Like those those posts drinking hangover things, you have them before

30:32

you go to bed or whatever. Like you say, it's just caffeine

30:34

or rehydration, that's really all it is. You're paying for it for

30:36

it, so that's probably why, because there's no market for it's no

30:38

market for it, because there's no market for it, even though it's

30:40

no market for it, even though it, even though it, even though

30:42

there's no market for it, even though there's no market for it,

30:44

even though there's a lot of rich market for it, even though

30:47

it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,

30:49

it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,

30:51

investigate why the angel boys have gone

30:53

and come back again next time. Yeah,

30:55

I don't know why, I don't know

30:57

why they went away, they've sort

31:00

of come back and they are,

31:02

like they're firing all cylinders, they've

31:04

got grit suits on, they're hanging

31:06

out in what looks like Canterbury,

31:08

they're, you know, they're doing the thing.

31:10

They are advertising for a

31:13

dynamic personal assistant assistant assistant.

31:15

What's the salary, gentlemen? Minimum.

31:17

Do you need do you

31:19

need a third angel boy

31:22

to look after your um

31:24

customs and and brolleys?

31:26

Angel dad you'd be absolutely pilloried

31:29

for that. Why? Being the angel,

31:31

dad. People are calling you a

31:33

non by the end of the

31:36

week. Well, I mean, would you

31:38

continue people calling me a non-screen

31:40

individual? It doesn't narrow it down

31:43

when you're on the internet. No, it's

31:45

a good point, actually. No, yeah,

31:47

so it looks like they've seen

31:49

them come back as a different

31:51

account, maybe. It's all there. Max

31:54

also says, email, Max also says,

31:56

P. Hasbila, kind of adjacent, isn't

31:58

he, a little bit? The Rizzler,

32:00

he's like the Rizzler, he was on

32:02

the wrestler? I saw that, yeah. Could

32:05

I just say about the Rizzler? I

32:07

don't know who, could I just say

32:09

about the Rizzler? Would you just give

32:11

us two sentences to people who are

32:14

listening, don't know who, don't know who

32:16

he is? Just a little, little boy,

32:18

isn't he? He was just, he's got

32:20

a dad, he used to be a

32:23

wrestler back in the confident and confident

32:25

as a fat boy on the internet.

32:27

Right. I have to admit when I

32:29

saw him at the wrestling I thought

32:32

what a presence. This charisma is off

32:34

the chart. Amazing charisma. I forget what

32:36

they actually, Mark, probably because he knows

32:39

kind of about wrestling, he kind of

32:41

knew all about this rizzler and I

32:43

still haven't really got that much of

32:45

a handle about what they're up to.

32:48

He's only eight. He's eight years old,

32:50

yeah. Wild. I'm, I like, is it

32:52

the family Lee, I like them? Oh

32:54

no you don't. A family lee. The

32:57

family lee. The family lee. The family

32:59

have stopped putting videos out. Have they?

33:01

I love to know what's happening there.

33:03

Yeah they haven't put anything on Instagram

33:06

for ages. Four days ago apparently. The

33:08

family, unless they've moved to a different

33:10

one. They're an abjectionable family. Let's be

33:13

clear about that. They're an absolute disgrace.

33:15

I bet they don't even work anymore.

33:17

They just do this. bollocks but they

33:19

just they're they're an embarrassment. One of

33:22

them's one of the boys is like

33:24

a fitness influencer or something. Is he

33:26

right? Okay, yeah, he does a lot

33:28

of weights. A lot of weights. Anyway

33:31

before we go there squeeze this one

33:33

in because Pete it might be useful

33:35

to you. A couple of weeks ago

33:37

we talked about re-pointing didn't we? Right,

33:40

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

33:42

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

33:44

and actually, one of the, um, guys

33:47

on the ramble discord, James, he can't

33:49

put me right, which is probably going

33:51

to be annoying to you, but, um,

33:53

Greg says, um, guys, the pointing chat

33:56

was a hard listen. annoying to hear.

33:58

If you've got any grounding in any

34:00

of the things we've talked about... Oh

34:02

yeah, have you got any skills? Any

34:05

hard skills. The inflation chat probably will

34:07

upset a few people. Pe, imagine having

34:09

some hard skills like the gym that

34:11

you're listening to. It's absolutely infuriating. Greg

34:14

says when bricks are laid you put

34:16

mortar between them as you push the

34:18

brick into position the mortar starts to

34:20

get pushed out of the joint. Pointing

34:23

is smoothing that joint joint joint out

34:25

to make it look neat. Ground. Because

34:27

grout is between tiles and not bricks.

34:30

The mortar starts to crumble. Sea air

34:32

will also accelerate this. Repointing is simply

34:34

running along those joints and clearing them

34:36

out slightly, usually with an angle

34:39

grinder. Definitely not going all the way

34:41

through or removing bricks. Refilling them with

34:43

mortar and then smoothing them over again.

34:45

The reason the photos you were looking

34:47

at look so different is probably that

34:49

once the joints were cleared out, the

34:51

bricks may have been pressure washed or

34:53

acid cleaned in order to give them

34:55

a new lease of life in order

34:58

to give them a new lease of

35:00

life before they're repointing. Pete could definitely

35:02

do this himself. It's arduous, but it's

35:04

not that difficult. Hope this helps from

35:06

Greg. He says I'm a hard listen. you've

35:08

rescued it at the end by being very fair.

35:11

You've got your angle grinder out and you've gone

35:13

to town on our grouting. I've got a question

35:15

for Greg though because you'd give me your take

35:17

on that and I've got a question for Greg.

35:20

I'm just telling Greg that you do not need

35:22

me up a ladder with an angle grinder.

35:24

It's just not an ideal situation for

35:26

anyone I think. That's agreed. My house has

35:28

got, what about the houses on my street,

35:30

have got the bricks themselves have deteriorated

35:33

deteriorated a deteriorated a bit. Right.

35:35

Now would that be a case

35:37

of removing bricks and division and

35:39

replacing them? If so, what's that process called?

35:41

How much of they kind of degraded

35:43

though? Are they sort of... I just

35:45

like chipped off and it's an old

35:47

house like just chipped off and they

35:49

look like they're broken. But surely it's

35:51

only like 10% of the brick that

35:53

is damaged. You can still tell. I'm

35:55

not worried about it. I'm just saying

35:58

I thought that was a repointing was.

36:00

Get a bit of brick dust, mix

36:02

it with some cement, slap it on,

36:04

pretend it's brick. For more reasons,

36:06

and I can possibly share, I

36:08

will not be listening to you

36:10

on that device. Crayons. Just fill

36:12

it in, colour it in for

36:15

crying out there. All right, Peter.

36:17

All right, before we go, I

36:19

heartily recommend a follow on Instagram.

36:21

The young CEO underscores in between

36:23

each word and then a nine

36:25

at the end. He is a

36:27

prize. hit. Fun. Fun Irishman talking

36:30

about driving his mazzarati through the

36:32

streets of wherever the fuck he

36:34

is, doubling our fucking nobody's, he's

36:36

a wonderful ballin. I'd sort of

36:38

worry when I'd sort of bounce into

36:40

somebody's sort of Instagram channel

36:42

or Tiktagor rather. I don't

36:45

do a lot of Tiktok,

36:47

but Instagram certainly. And I

36:49

see people I know are

36:51

following absolute 100% pieces. I

36:53

sort of think, God, did they

36:55

endorse this guy's shit? And I

36:57

sort of, I like hit watch

36:59

a lot of stuff. Like I

37:01

follow people just to keep an

37:03

eye. But either before those people,

37:06

I'll just seek them out, but

37:08

I won't follow them. It's funny

37:10

because a guy who did some

37:12

work for me a few years

37:14

ago who I got on very

37:16

well with. I had to follow

37:18

him on Instagram because basically following

37:20

loads of basically racist accounts. like

37:22

that you do so I go

37:24

yeah I mean that's that's less

37:27

than ideal and also sometimes meme

37:29

accounts will sash in to just

37:31

promoting far-right models and you're like

37:33

what's this what I didn't I didn't

37:35

request this like my heart requested

37:37

it but my fingers did not

37:39

my fingers did not anywhere Yeah,
