Never make your own stair gate

Let’s admit it, other people’s kids are incredibly annoying. It's a controversial opinion that we eagerly support on today’s edition of the Luke and Pete Show. We also question anyone who claims that they actually enjoy wild swimming and we hear from a listener who spotted a rogue Pete Donaldson out in the big bad world... We still want you to send your Christmas stories! Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Hosted on Acast. See acas...

No Sleep 'til Hammersmith

Luke’s flown in overnight from the States to record some Luke and Pete Show. It might sound showbiz, but the flight was unfortunately ruined by an unpleasant surprise… In better news, Luke’s brought Pete back a very thoughtful present from his holiday and we also ask the very important question, why doesn’t Pete own a 3D printer? We want you to send in your Christmas stories! Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Hosted on Acast. See ...

How to become a cowboy

What comes first, the problem or the Donaldson? Pete has been complaining that his house constantly needs work at the moment. Do we believe that it isn’t his fault? He also just smashed his phone, but we’ll let you decide. Elsewhere, we spend far too long reading a coroners report and we try to decide whether age should be a factor when becoming a cowboy.

Thankful for dogs

Happy Thanksgiving! To celebrate the occasion Pete offers up a rare moment of poignancy as we give thanks to our pets at the start of today's show. Don't worry normal service is resumed when Luke tells us some foul stories from the days of VHS. He also tells us about a very "interesting" shop owner he met on holiday and a quick Google tells us this man actually has quite a reputation... Have you met any "interesting" shop owners?

Just put some tabasco on it

Pete bravely offers some cooking advice on today’s episode. Listen to him at your peril… He's also been displaying some “interesting” behaviour during the promotional video for a local wine bar, Luke has – disappointingly – made it into the Daily Mail, and a listener sends us a lovely poem.

I miss my mum

Pete places us right in the middle of the True Geordie vs Andrew Tate beef on today’s episode. Would you expect anything else? We also discuss the bizarre phenomenon that is Matt Hancock in the jungle and Pete shares a typically niche idea for a documentary - brace yourselves. Want to contact the show?

Democracy vs Banter

What is more important? The future of liberal democracy or the banter? That is the question you have to ask yourself when you see Young Boozer on the ballot sheet. Elsewhere, we hear about Pete’s bizarre approach to public speaking and our mushy peas vs baked beans debate reaches a dramatic conclusion. Are you team baked beans or mushy peas?

People still don’t like you, Elon

What do you do if you’re desperate for people to like you? Well, if you’re Elon Musk, you buy Twitter. On today’s show, Luke and Pete discuss what we think the world will look like without Twitter and a listener risks their job to submit not one but two New Player batteries. That’s the commitment we’re looking for! Think you have found a new player? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow Hosted on Acast.

What's Bono doing?

Do you ever just stop and think, what's Bono doing? We ponder that strange question on today's show. We also discuss whether you could invent a glory hole for haircuts and we learn the amazingly appropriate nickname Pete has been given by his niece. It's just another Monday on The Luke and Pete Show. What are the fish and chip shop prices in your local area?

Did you order some gateway crimes?

Guy Fawkes night is around the corner so Luke and Pete are getting in the spirit by planning petty crimes. It's all fun and games until Luke potentially gets embroiled in an actual crime. Elsewhere, Pete starts beef with a Michelin star chef and we finally get an explanation for why Donny is so, erm... unique. Want to contact the show?

Welcome to Spook Fest 2022

What’s the best way to celebrate Halloween? Eat loads of American Candy, of course. Because that is definitely going to help Pete’s stomach problems… Speaking of Halloween, we marvel at a mass grave containing over 600 monks. Elsewhere a listener, unexpectedly, informs us that we played a part in the birth of their first child. Have we played a part in one of your major life events?

Mr Karaoke Hostess Bar

We’ve got a new Prime Minister, for the next couple of months at least. I'm sure he'll be respected and won’t be labelled a **** on the BBC, right? Maybe not. As well as hearing more on that, we discuss whether the day has finally come for Pete to replace the Fiat and a listener sends in a very unusual eBay listing.

The battery daddies

Blink 182 are back, baby! But do the pop-punk icons know more about pop-punk than Petey-pie Donaldson? He once listened to a Propagandhi album after all… Elsewhere, we find out Captain Kirk regretted going where no man has gone before and - going where no podcast has gone before - we start a physical collection of new player batteries, thanks to an amazing gift from one of our lovely listeners.

Can you sneeze on demand?

Luke loses the plot on today’s show as amazingly Pete manages to make himself sneeze on demand. Elsewhere, we once again stick two feet into the knock-off Nintendo Wii homepage that is the Metaverse and receive a really enjoyable email about a man who unknowingly wore a quite incredible t-shirt. And no, for once that man wasn’t Donny. Do you have any hidden talents? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow Hosted on Acast.

Damn butterfly effect

Today’s the day! Luke and Pete are back with a big announcement… *drumroll please*... legs are coming to the Metaverse! Join us in celebrating that major news on today's show. We also discuss the concept of infinity and how it means that Pete will one day turn into a dog turd and hear about how we unknowingly caused an incident that sent a listener to hospital.

Justice for Cocaine Bear

Pete’s back from driving a bigger boy’s car down the west coast of America! He only almost rolled it once, so it went pretty well overall. Elsewhere, Pete reviews American towns he visited in three words and we scream “JUSTICE FOR COCAINE BEAR” as news has reached the Luke and Pete Show that the peace-loving icon has been done dirty in a movie adaptation of his life.

Return of the Cliff Richard

Luke starts the show by expressing his displeasure for comedy as a genre. He better not read the description of this podcast… Once we have gotten passed that, the lads tell us about 2 different, but equally impressive, trips to the theatre that they have been on and Luke gets wound up by the idea of a Cliff Richard Christmas album.

Wait, does FIFA make batteries?

What other podcast could go from dissecting the Prime Minister’s shambolic media relations to uncovering some of the world’s rarest battery brands in the time it takes to say, ad-break? We’ve got all that on the show plus a belated tribute to Coolio and the under-appreciated legacy of Gangsta's Paradise. Want to contact the show?

Splitting the bulbospongiosus muscle

Warning! This episode contains more penis chat. We are sorry but ALOT of you did ask for it. If that’s too much then don’t worry, we bring the tone back by once again discussing the long egg. We also hear about Pete’s dog visiting the office and have a very special edition of the battery section. Want to share a story with the show?

It’s always Petey in Philadelphia

Concrete jungle where golden rabbits are made of

We are bringing you this episode directly from Pete’s hotel room in New York. This obviously means the lads are recording surrounded by empty bottles of Pepto Bismol and packets of instant noodles. Elsewhere Pete has been trying the local delicacies (aka Japanese whisky) and we hear about a very successful duelling dog. Do you have any stories about New York?

Climbing out of your toilet in a diving helmet

This time around on The Luke and Pete Show, Donny considers attacking one of his neighbours in a frightening, yet also confusing, way and both men consider a spin off series involving hunting down some UFOs. Luke would love it, Pete would be angry about doing it. There's also a man marrying a hologram (not Pete), some incredibly problematic action figures, and the latest scandal to hit Luke's neighbourhood Whatsapp group.

The Desalination of Edwina Currie

Desalination - why don't we do more of it? Maybe we do, and Luke and Pete are just unaware of it. Maybe let us know, if you're a water expert. On today's episode the chaps take the time to talk about Pete's trip to Cardiff which resulted in some remarkable medical advice concerning Pepto-Bismol, before despairing at the latest government nonsense and giving the entirely unnecessary Edwina Currie a dressing down. Give us a spin, the subscribe button's just over there! Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Waistcoat

Hi everyone, and welcome to a brand new episode of The Luke and Pete Show! Pete has turned up wearing a leather waistcoat with nothing underneath, is still rocking his moustache and is now also in trouble with an unknown neighbour. But which one? The investigation starts apace... Elsewhere, there's plenty of time to have a pop at Sir Cliff Richard, talk about the best flavours of cordial, and send out a plea for a bigger battery boy to get in touch with us about a submission sent in by one of ou...

The humble blacksmith

We’ve sent Pete into the world of Game of Thrones and it turns out his origin story is pretty epic. We present to you: Donny, the finest blacksmith in Westeros. Pete’s staying humble though, as his new title doesn’t stop him from reading out your emails. We hear about a lady who mistakenly ate the products in Lush and a listener who accidentally became TikTok famous. Want to contact the show?

Superjaunty black hole

Pete’s been on the internet again and he has found a quite bizarre video that emerged from the world of baseball… Elsewhere, we listen to the sound of a black hole, a listener criticises the band Muse and Pete tells us all about his default freezer leftovers meal.

See you next Tuesday

Pete took his partner to Spain for her birthday and she was absolutely delighted when he took her to a British pub to watch the Newcastle match - how romantic - at least he didn’t take her to the car boot! After that, we try to work out if Pete has committed a crime upon returning from his holiday and we also discuss the cancellation of Andrew Tate... good riddance. Want to contact the show?
