Summary
Welcome, intrepid podcast traveller - good to have you with us. Let Pete regale you with tales of a near-death experience involving a 25-minute walk, getting a blister while dodging a man carrying a slab of MDF, and fancifully thinking about taking up boxing. We've all been there.
Elsewhere, Luke continues to beat Pete at chess and will not let him forget it. Plus, retro video games we'll never finish, debating whether Pete Hegseth's bench press is impressive and Luke witnessing a catastrophically cringe question asked in front of a thousand people.

| 0:00.0 | Hello there, it's the Lugger Beacho. I'm Pete Donelson. I'm joined by Mr. Lukie Moore. |
| 0:10.0 | I've got an hour on my foot. I walk from French Church Street to just past Old Street. |
| 0:17.0 | And it only took me like 25 minutes. And the last I did it it took an hour and five so I think |
| 0:24.6 | I've gotten better at directions you know yeah okay and I was walk far apart are they uh they're |
| 0:32.2 | they're a fair distance they're a fair distance a half a walk isn't it it's an half hour walk I locked off |
| 0:36.5 | five minutes um I was very impressed by a man who was clearly a man with a bigger boy job, who was walking down the street with some MDF. And instead of saying, get out of the way and get off your phone, like this is a pavement, and I'm trying to transport massive lumps of MDF down the road. Um, he just did this, |
| 0:54.5 | like that. And I went, and I sort of went, that's nice. That's nice. Like, Hugh. Yeah, proper like Hugh Granite, I'm sorry, like, like, like, like, bimbled my way out there, out of his, uh, thing. It was like, yeah, it was a proper like, but it was like loud. And he just had the confidence to do it and i was like like, what a guy, what a man, what a mighty fine man, very into that vibe. What was the dimensions of the MDF? It was pretty, I mean, it was about the size of the pavement. So no matter where I stood, really, I was in trouble. A plasterboard side. It was like end of level, you know, that video game paper boy, isometric game where you would go up the street, throwing papers at people's windows and stuff. |
| 1:31.7 | Yeah, that's great. |
| 1:32.3 | It would have been the end of the last hardest street, you know, an obstacle where you just have to kind of get pixel perfect. |
| 1:39.9 | It was like that, really. |
| 1:41.4 | Wow, that's a really specific reference. |
| 1:47.3 | I love, I love Paperboy, and I always, that's a really specific reference. I love paper boy and I always, |
| 1:53.6 | I have sort of three games in my mind. Cruise for Cops, the Poirot-related graphic adventure from Delphine games, a French outfit. They were saying people who made flashback in another |
| 1:59.1 | world, I believe. Another one I remember, that was great. |
| 2:02.4 | Another game is Jet Set Willie, the Thatcher era platformer from the 8-bit era. |
| 2:08.1 | I remember that well, yeah, along with Manic Minor. |
| 2:10.4 | And also Paperboy. |
| 2:12.2 | Those three games, I promised to myself as an old gentleman that I would finish them one day. |
| 2:18.3 | But I'm definitely never going to finish Jet Set Willie. |
| 2:21.8 | Cruise for a Corps. |
| 2:22.9 | I'll revisit every six months. |
| 2:25.2 | But Paperboy I put on my arcade machine and good God, it was and continues to be bloody impossible. |
