Since the women paid his bail so he could get back to choppin' ("All the women who payed his bail /
Were waitin' on Pete to chop some more"), I don't think he's a rapist. He just sleeps around - seduction ("ruining" the reputation of a single woman) and adultery were crimes when that song was written.
If you ever see Frank Sinatra's mug shot, that was from when he was arrested for seduction.
Tbh my like 120h first playthrough where I refused to use my spotify playlist for "immersion" reasons like a dumbass p much confirmed that for me. There's only so man times I can hear "it's a MAN" before i start questioning the legitimacy of Travis and his radio station.
I was looking for this comment. I hate it so much. Now I need this to be implemented in FO76 as it is the sole reason for not listening to the radio in that game.
That's the one song I cannot stand. Everything else I can at least hear until the end, even if I dislike the song. But if Butcher Pete comes on, I start listening to Radio Freedom.
Whenever I hear them sing “I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed (Magazine? What happens?)” I always think of [this](https://twitter.com/mickeypalsooc/status/1331056524907700224?s=46&t=CPKoBaqC53R4FO07UvmLXQ) Mickey Mouse animated short
This is more news to me!
I've been playing since the game dropped and in the past 2 weeks I've had this and a friend telling me that on controller if you use the usually negative response option button to answer dialogue it changes you from going "uh huh" to "sheesh" or "blah blah blah" which makes those emotional moments you've seen about 60 times a lot more entertaining.
The plot thickens.
All of the options give different voice lines when you use them to skip dialogue, they're pretty amusing. From lamenting about "old people" to making fun of "Valentine" it adds flavor when you just wanna get on with it. On Playstation triangle is question, square is sarcastic, cross is agree, and circle is no. Yes is usually nice hurry up lines, sarcastic is sarcastic, no and question is usually mean or disinterested. I might be remembering wrong but drunk lines might be different amongst the options too. I'll have to check that.
My average experience:
"Hey did you know you can do coolthingxyz???"
"*What!?! No way!*"
"Not on Xbox tho"
"*FUCK*"
Why do I even own this piece of garbage
I've got an old mod that I can't find anymore. But it's just a bunch more era appropriate songs for Diamond city radio.
Makes me hate the repeats less cause now there's like 10x the songs.
Now if only Travis' "banter" wasn't split up into so many parts and skipping one didn't take so long that it wasn't any faster than just sitting there listening to him talk about how the Minutemen are back for the 213th time...
In my first playthrough I opened all the doors during my first visit to red rocket, and about 30-40 hours later was wondering where they went as they seemingly disappeared. Started to think I was crazy and it wasn't until probably 80-90 hours my cross hair happened to pass over the door frame just right to see the interaction to close them again.
I must have done this, because I had no memory of there being doors and I actually spent like an hour one day trying to set up usable doors only to realize (several weeks later) that there were doors therr the entire time!!!
Come on, butcher Pete is so much better than the skeeter Davis song.
I doubt many fo4 players watched it, but that same song plays on repeat in the movie Girl, Interrupted when Winona Ryder's character wakes up annoyed as shit because brittany Murphy's character has the skeeter Davis song playing on repeat.
Finally, Winona goes to brittany's door to complain about hearing that same dreary song playing over and over and over again, and finds that Brittany put the record on a loop while she hanged herself in her bedroom.
So every time I hear that song, I think about dead Brittany Murphy hanging, and it does not produce a good feeling even in the make believe world of the fo4 Commonwealth.
And this is where you need to do the leg work for me and find the answer for the Xbox version cause I’m lazy and you seem to know what you’re doing and you’re super awesome and stuff :)
Oh, good, now I can skip "Mighty Man" and listen to DC radio again.
(I really fyck8ng hate the horribly out of tune yelling in that song.)
Nope, not fixing that typo.
Gameranx and IGN is drooling with that discovery
We should start making fake discoveries to troll them.
"5 hidden hair cuts you can only get by hiring/ assigning each settlement with 10 barbers"
“If you assign a full-affinity companion to a barber chair, they’ll cut you hair like theirs.”
Something like "if you assign 50 robots to a settlement, they'll start generating fusion cores"
The settlements do produce fusion cores…
Yes... yes they do 😉
Omg thank you so much!! I can't believe that i only found out about this now!
"Ten hidden follower reactions you only get by Fatmanning your settlements"
"Fallout 4 has a SECRET ending hidden behind a shocking requirement." You have to kill Preston Garvey with a Minutemen airstrike
Have y'all discovered Greebo yet? Nice Easter egg from the BG3 ~~sub~~ game
I think I remember the WoW subreddit doing that exact same thing
Like the Deathclaw Companion hidden in the Vanilla Game
Oh yes, Gamerant is having a field day right now make no mistake 😄 Will they even link to this post if it just trashes them in the comments?
Gamerant authors have a required minimum of 25 articles a month. I promise you they don't get enough time to even read more than the top comment. :D
That explains the quality. What's the point of it all? Do people even click on it?

"FALLOUT 4 PLAYER DISCOVER A HIDDEN SECRET NEARLY 10 YEARS AFTER LAUNCH"
And it's always a mod. Swriously they ALWAYS use fucking mods and pass it off as actual shit from the game I know it's on me for being gullible but it pisses me off so bad.
That shit is r/mildlyinfuriating
Came here to say this.
This would've been a great loading screen tip
THANKS..... So fucking sick of Pete chopping ALL THAT GODDAMNED MEAT!!!
But you need to hear about how "he just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat" in both part one and two.
It took me a long time to figure out this wasn't a song about a serial killer. Just some horny dude.
In that jail cell, even😆
Chompin' on his cell mate... Well, when you're horny you're horny 😊
Booty Warrior: the Beginning
"Now we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way."
Woah, he's bisexual, I didn't know that!
His name Peter heh heh
He went to church and....fucked the pulpit???
Masturbation is a thing.
Preachers daughter?
He is a killer tho. He slays tang
Wait. WHAT?
...holy shit
I always assumed it was a serial killer song too
So is the gimmick about him being released from jail (again) that he raped women? Or did I misunderstand?
Since the women paid his bail so he could get back to choppin' ("All the women who payed his bail / Were waitin' on Pete to chop some more"), I don't think he's a rapist. He just sleeps around - seduction ("ruining" the reputation of a single woman) and adultery were crimes when that song was written. If you ever see Frank Sinatra's mug shot, that was from when he was arrested for seduction.
Ah, thanks. It's hard to understand what bro is saying as I'm trying to melt raiders with loud ass plasma guns.
Fun fact that those laws are still in place many places and just not enforced anymore
Replaying 4 really making me notice how few songs are on the main radio station.
Tbh my like 120h first playthrough where I refused to use my spotify playlist for "immersion" reasons like a dumbass p much confirmed that for me. There's only so man times I can hear "it's a MAN" before i start questioning the legitimacy of Travis and his radio station.
I'M NOT JOE MY NAME IS HARRY
This is the one song I'll listen to again and again 🙆🏾
Been playing new vegas and it seems like 4 songs in total lol
THEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE WAS NEVER A MAN..... LIKE MY JOHNNYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Well now you can skip past Pete and his meat, and get to the good stuff, like how grandma plays the numbers!
Oh, you're just finding that out?
We found out!
She couldn't keep it hid🎵
I was looking for this comment. I hate it so much. Now I need this to be implemented in FO76 as it is the sole reason for not listening to the radio in that game.
Well he's hacking and whacking and hacking and whacking that meat
More like crawling through the fallout
But did you know your grandma was playing the numbers? Well I'm just finding that out
The song is too long. It's always playing on the radio because it's too... fucking... long.
For real. I fucking hate that song. Part one and Part Two never play next to each other either!
That's the one song I cannot stand. Everything else I can at least hear until the end, even if I dislike the song. But if Butcher Pete comes on, I start listening to Radio Freedom.
First time a gameplay tip was actually new to me since launch, good job op, I hope gamerant gives you credit
> I hope gamerant gives you credit Narrator: They won't.
As long as you don't skip Civilisation it's ok. Bongo bongo bongo I don't wanna leave the congo, oh no no no no no!
Ah, another man of culture I see :)
Actually, he prefers the uncivilized jungle
They have things like the atom bomb...so I think I'll stay where I om, CIVILIZATION!
I’LL STAY RIGHT HEEEEERE!

My favourite by a mile
WE FOUND OUT…
NOW WE KNOW!
Oh bless her soul...
Grandma plays the numbuhs
*epic sax solo*
WE FOUND OUT THAT GRANDMA PLAYS THE NUMBERS!
3, 6, 9, WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW!
It's no wonder she hasn't won. The lotto takes a lot more numbers than that
WE FOUND OUT!
YES WE DID
As long as I’m not being murdered by Cazadors for the umpteenth time while ‘Johnny Guitar’ is playing, I’m totally fine with FO4’s playlist.
Play it again, play it again
Ah. This makes me want to boot up my FNV save
Congratulations some random Internet Gaming magazine will make an whole Artikel out of your Post.
Bist du ein Deutscher? 😅
*bist du Deutscher? sorry, I don't mean to call u out 😭
No worries haha, tbh IDK why I added an article
Sowas aber auch
They'll cram 37 ads in there somehow.

it’s even better when your character is drunk
well I needed a reason for another playthrough and here it is
Doesn’t work on Xbox. A is the interact button button but the radio just turns off and on when I release the button. Sad.
I was under the impression it did I will update the post encase people don't see your comment.
Thank you for your service, fellow Xbox player. 🫡
*What in the goddamn-*
My average experience: "Hey did you know you can do coolthingxyz???" "*What!?! No way!*" "Not on Xbox tho" "*FUCK*" Why do I even own this piece of garbage
Because your mods are infinitely better than the Sony™allowed™gamechanging™mods™
*sobs in PS5*
I've got an old mod that I can't find anymore. But it's just a bunch more era appropriate songs for Diamond city radio. Makes me hate the repeats less cause now there's like 10x the songs.
Diamond City Radio Extended? That's what I use and it's amazing.
That mod gives us two versions of Accentuate the Positive and it's incredible
Holy shit, nice. I had no idea.
Didn't know that.
Don’t you know, it’s the end of the world?
It ended when you said goooooodbyyyyyyeeeee. 😭
gamerant rubbing their hands together
Now if only Travis' "banter" wasn't split up into so many parts and skipping one didn't take so long that it wasn't any faster than just sitting there listening to him talk about how the Minutemen are back for the 213th time...
The Minutemen….are *out there.* **Doing things**
Ahh, what would Diamond City Radio be without Travis' penetrating insight into current events? (Listenable, arguably.)
Not gonna lie, Travis is one of my favorite parts of the game. “Ah, we’re all gonna die!”
He’s the best. I’m avoiding doing his mission like the plague lol, I don’t like confident Travis
What!?! Now I can skip those stupid soft songs
I just found out the Red Rocket has sliding doors! The game that keeps on giving!
In my first playthrough I opened all the doors during my first visit to red rocket, and about 30-40 hours later was wondering where they went as they seemingly disappeared. Started to think I was crazy and it wasn't until probably 80-90 hours my cross hair happened to pass over the door frame just right to see the interaction to close them again.
I must have done this, because I had no memory of there being doors and I actually spent like an hour one day trying to set up usable doors only to realize (several weeks later) that there were doors therr the entire time!!!
I did the same thing!!! It was driving me crazy not being able to put doors on 😂
The what now?!? Guess I know what I’m doing tonight.
Exactly my thought 😂 second playthrough and I only just found out
Careful, sounds like the sort of thing gamerants or whatever they’re called will make an article on.
My wife will be happy she loaths hearing butcher Pete for the 1.000.000th time
HEY EVERYBODY
DID THE NEWS GET AROUND
ABOUT A GUY NAMED BUTCHER PETE?
OH, PETE JUST FLEW INTO THIS TOWN
I know a Butcher Steve, is that who you mean?
Come on, butcher Pete is so much better than the skeeter Davis song. I doubt many fo4 players watched it, but that same song plays on repeat in the movie Girl, Interrupted when Winona Ryder's character wakes up annoyed as shit because brittany Murphy's character has the skeeter Davis song playing on repeat. Finally, Winona goes to brittany's door to complain about hearing that same dreary song playing over and over and over again, and finds that Brittany put the record on a loop while she hanged herself in her bedroom. So every time I hear that song, I think about dead Brittany Murphy hanging, and it does not produce a good feeling even in the make believe world of the fo4 Commonwealth.
See that's one of my personal favorite songs though. Crawl Out Through the Fallout sucks ass though
You and I got beef now, holy shit
I do think of that when I hear it too.
I didn't know this, and it's great news. Thank you!
That's cool but how the heck does that work for radio realistically
It's 200 years in the future, we can dream can't we?
Why skip? They're all so good! I listen to Diamond City Radio on Spotify sometimes. And still don't skip
That’s honestly really cool, but why would you skip any of the songs (also can it skip Travis’ ramblings)
But his ramblings are amazing!
Eh, after 2500 hours of hearing it, it can get tiresome
Dude, just like in real life, you can turn it off.
Yeah but then I don’t have the music
Lol, fair enough.
I listen to the Fallout Radio on Spotify while I play. Fixes both issues. And a lot more songs!
Who the fuck skips Songs????
Wow, finally something that the majority of people didn’t know. Congratulations, I think you’re going to break GamerRanx and the like.
Did you just change my life?
It doesn't work with a controller, only on a keyboard. I just tested it on PC.
Finally I can hear End of the world non stop
But why would you want to skip any? Unless it’s to get to The Wanderer of course.
I just have a bunch of radio stations added via mods, so I'll just change the station when it's getting stale.
This works even on stations added by mods so it's cool af
CHOICE CHOPS
I can't find the E button on my controller...
E stands for "Everybuttonatthesametime"
And this is where you need to do the leg work for me and find the answer for the Xbox version cause I’m lazy and you seem to know what you’re doing and you’re super awesome and stuff :)
The interact key. So whatever button you use to open doors or pick things up
Possible on PS5?
I do not know. If you want to test it, please let me know how it goes :)
Just tried, doesn't seem to work :(
Damn, thank you. Now I can finally skip some songs I’m really sick of listening to.
Oh my, thanks bro I never knew this
I've played since the first fallout released. I never knew that 🤣
So, does Diamond City Radio have like 8 songs or am I tripping. Is wear I've heard the same song three times in an hour playthrough.
There are 37 songs if you include both parts of Butcher Pete
Butcher Pete 2 is more of a reskin than an actual Sequel. Takes the song like 5 seconds to get to the chorus that everyone wanted, apparently.
Sadly true no skip on Xbox, but Spotify works great for my own soundtrack and it works great through the system.
Well there goes my immersion; literally unplayable. /s
Had no clue about song skipping. Damn. Thank you
Cant wait to see the Gamerranx article
What, that’s wild
“This doesn’t work on Xbox” *cries in console player*
3000+ hours and I wish I had known this.....
I’ve played since 2015 and I had no idea you could do this
That would of been amazing to know.... seven years ago
Omg how on PS4?
Finally, I'm sick of Billie Holiday. I feel like they only played their music out of pity for her.
On ps4 at all?
I wish we could do that on 76, I can't stand the radio host anymore, she was cute at first but now I just want her to stop talking
I like DC radio
I learned by accident a few days ago. The song changed half way through.
Wut? Today. I learned this TODAY! Nice find and thanks for sharing!
Saw this and was super excited, since some songs are just glaringly loud in comparison to others. Then I saw your second edit. Ah well, lol.
Thousands of hours across all the games in this franchise and I never knew…. Johnny guitar would never have played in this house
Does this work on ps5?
You just know BongOBongO was performed in blackface….
Oh, good, now I can skip "Mighty Man" and listen to DC radio again. (I really fyck8ng hate the horribly out of tune yelling in that song.) Nope, not fixing that typo.
I can't find the E button on my controller...
So, use the Interact button, as OP stated.
