Episode 154: Pete Donaldson lorry attack Welcome one and all, we're back in the studio and this time around dishing out red-hot chat on a variety of wide-ranging and different subjects, from webcam security to Zach Braff losing his temper, and from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Pete almost getting run over. In addition to that of course, as is the custom, we hear from you the listener as well. In this episode we take into account the sheer size of Comanche country back in the Old West, a phobia that ...

Luke's parents' tortoise has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that spring is now well and truly in the air, and on that happy note we get into this episode of The Luke and Pete Show. This time around there's chat about Jordan Peele's new movie Us, a theatre production of A Few Good Men, and of course a few of your emails too. Pete also finds time to inform us all at what point he turned from Straight Edge into the boozer he is today, and bizarrely it involves 90s indie band Gay Dad. To get in ...

Howdy! On your brand new episode of The Luke and Pete Show, you can expect to hear tales of plastic wrap, stockpiling food for Brexit, Pete openly weeping at the fate of machinery, and what we all look for in bums. Also, there's plenty of pigeon chat, Bernie Slaven gets another mention in his campaign for President, a campaign that's gaining momentum by the way, and we also take the time to appreciate the return of the excellent Derry Girls. There's loads more besides, including of course you be...

A new pilot has entered the game! Pilot Dave brings The Luke and Pete Show squadron up to three pilots, and all we need now is a handful of planes and we're away. Also available on this, your all-new episode: old people, the Japanese language, The Kid Who Would Be King, iron lungs, and teeth. We also hear from a weather chaser, Pete gets stuck into his own teeth, and we exclusively reveal Bernie Sanders' running mate for the 2020 US Presidential Election. Clue: he's from Middlesbrough. To get in...

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 150th instalment of this, The Luke and Pete Show (formerly known as Luke and Pete's Summer)! We're bloody grateful to have you along. This time around there's Prince's shoes, Daniel Radcliffe, the beauty of/problems with cassette tapes, one of the most interesting phobias we've ever heard, and lots, lots more. Lots more like Pilot Gav getting back in touch, Eddie Stobart's policy of naming their vehicles, and how storms are named. All this and more, brought to ...

Howdy, it's Monday and we're back! It's time to talk about Crufts, as the world's premier dog show returned last weekend to much amusement and entertainment to both Luke and Pete. Lovely bitches. Elsewhere, we talk haircuts, Ricky Gervais' After Life, Captain Marvel, and lots more besides. There's also plenty of time for your emails too, which this time around feature Michael Jordan, listeners' dreams, and furries (!), and we also find time to squeeze in a quick Mencarta to honour a remarkable w...

It's World Book Day today! As a result, the boys spend some time talking about the books they are currently reading (well, Luke does. Pete can't remember), and then they get into the weeds of your much more typical LAPS fare - bonobos, whether it's physically possible to swing a playground swing all the way around, the accidental outing of listeners who would prefer to be anonymous...you know, the usual stuff. Make sure to check out Searching For Sugarman, Erik Larson's In The Garden of Beasts, ...

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of The Luke and Pete Show, and with Pete fresh off the plane from Taiwan, it's an absolute belter! We hear from Mr Donaldson about his exploration of an abandoned building as well as his attempt to leap across an eight metre high ravine while chasing after snapping turtles (obviously), and after that we get stuck into some of the big stories that have been doing the rounds - a man trapped in a snow drift in Oregon, the anniversary of John Candy's dea...

We're back! And here's what to expect in this episode: - Walking sticks - Kid n Play - Pulling sickies - Hi-Vis jackets - Heroin - Mannequins And lots more. Including Pete taking us through his wallet, repeatedly talking about Manic Street Preachers, and then giving us his own carefully thought out opinions on DVDs. Oh, and we also hear again from Crisp Andy. And apparently he's still never eaten a crisp. Ridiculous. Send us crisps. And emails: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com ***Please take the time t...

What would happen if Pete and Luke grabbed an aircraft carrier from somewhere and piloted it to the South China Sea? Just one of the thought experiments available on today's episode of TLAPS. Elsewhere, we hear of a festival going wrong (not Ja Rule's one, although he does get a good going over regardless), something truly surprising that Luke sent a friend in the post, a boat called Clubber Lang, and a truly bizarre way for a man to motivate his son to be better at football. Warning: This episo...

Hi all, and a very happy Thursday to you! The Luke and The Pete are back and talking about the issues that matter to absolutely no-one. Hey, it keeps us off the streets and out of the can, ya hear? There's chat about Channel 4 and their latest poverty tourism documentary series, there's a good bit on Bible verses, Pete's somewhat cavalier attitude towards toast, a clarification regarding Dublin Zoo, and lots more. We even find time to hear about a listener or two being cured of their phobia. Joi...

Hello everyone, and a very happy Monday! Welcome to this edition of The Luke and Pete Show, which listeners of a nervous disposition should be very wary of. You have been warned... This time around, Pete gets very well acquainted with a fellow passenger on a flight, waxes lyrical about his disdain for John Peel and North Korea (separately), and we hear from a listener about literally the worst holiday of all time. All we'll say is it involves a cruise and 80s rock band Def Leppard. To get in tou...

It's Valentine's Day! So that means Luke and Pete are getting very romantic. Pete's even found a novel way of making hollandaise sauce, and he's even stopped using his oven as storage. We also take time to observe Galentine's Day, as made popular on Parks and Recreation and Singles Awareness Day, thus making sure that literally no-one is left out on the most romantic day of the year. We are such team players... Elsewhere, we hear about monkeys, fireworks, Pete's idea of stepping a night in up a ...

Welcome back to your fourteenth-favourite show about absolutely nothing at all, as it returns for another episode fresh from the weekend's excesses (well, that's mostly Pete of course) and looks to put all memories of horse-related content firmly behind it. Unfortunately, the majority of you listeners don't agree and have spent the last few days sending in emails about yep, you've guessed it, horses. Typical. This time around though, there's also cycling's dirtiest drug, Vince Vaughn, Pete attem...

Good day to you, and welcome back to another instalment of the 182nd most popular comedy podcast in Qatar (yes, really)! It's officially National Sickie Day today, and as a result Pete and Luke talk you through their best tips for phoning in a day off without getting in trouble. We accept no responsibility for what transpires, though... Elsewhere, there's chat about Ted Bundy, dubbing in movies on TV, and more chat about feet, as well as the great Ciaran Judge getting in touch to let us know he'...

The weekend is rapidly approaching and what better way to get ready for it than to listen to today's Luke and Pete Show, which features plenty of chat about Pete's bathroom, his fascination with vaping, and the great Wes Welker delivering one of the all-time great interviews. In addition to all of this, we just about tie up all the remaining woodlice threads, discuss sweet/savoury mental blocks, and take time to laud the late, great Terry Pratchett. There's loads more besides, and to make a cont...

Hello, good afternoon and welcome to another instalment of the soon-to-be-award-winning Luke and Pete Show! Those who are hoping we'd be well out from under the yoke of woodlice-based conversation by now will be bitterly disappointed as the subject continues to run and run, and if that wasn't enough, there are more dating tips courtesy of The Pete. Also, is The Luke and Pete Show the only podcast to be sent some aviation speed tape by a listener this week? We'd wager the answer to that is a firm...

Welcome back to The Luke and Pete Show, and after Monday's festival of news and action we get straight back into the weeds with yet more chat about Prince Philip, before we discuss the worst thing you'd want to happen to your onboard a pleasure cruise. Beyond that, there's a barman's tale of a £10 all you can drink night, yet more #woodlicecontent, and a truly staggering decision from Mr Pete Donaldson to take an alarm clock, yes, an alarm clock, on his very first date as a 14 year old. We would...

Welcome to your all new episode of The Luke and Pete Show, it's even more zeitgeisty than usual! That means we've got Prince Phillip doing his 'thing', Prince Mick Fleetwood doing *his* thing, and Prince Pete Donaldson doing *his* thing in Istanbul last weekend. Insatiable rascals, the lot of 'em. Elsewhere, there's woodlice and the frankly remarkable names we have for them here in the UK, someone who broke his ankle while listening to us (Attn: lawyers, we are *not* liable), and a tribute to Bu...

Hello everyone. Nice to see you. Thanks for popping back in. You've come to the right place for Pete's obsession with crap technology, information on the most popular day of the year to get a divorce (it's in January, unsurprisingly), and individuals' power of recall over their own tattoos. In addition to this, we recite a truly fascinating tale of a young man working as an ice cream salesman for a summer that includes a deserted warehouse and a holdall full of cash. It's unmissable. We need to ...

This time around on *your* Luke and Pete Show, Pete's been interviewing Steve Coogan about his new movie Stan and Ollie, and we quickly move things on to Quentin Tarantino, and then, separately, some breaking news about the 1900 Great Plague of Glasgow. You know us, ear to the ground. We also hear from a listener that embarked upon work experience at Loaded magazine with hilarious consequences and how, in one of the only occasions Pete did a full day's honest work, he covered someone in foam. To...

Welcome back to The Luke and Pete Show! It's Thursday, and so it's very nearly the weekend. Allow us to help you get there with another half an hour of nonsense, this time around including the busting of an urban myth or two, a strangely supportive attitude towards lad mags of the 90s, and obviously then Pete veers into chat about masturbation. We apologise in advance. Elsewhere there's a bit on The Inbetweeners, and then someone gets in touch to talk about stealing from vending machines. Tell w...

Welcome to your all new episode of The Luke and Pete Show, indeed the second issue of 2019. We're celebrating the new year by discussing Limewire, Morpheus and Kazaa (the only way of grabbing the music you wanted for free back in 2002), a couple of films we've seen, and a 70-year-old Japanese skateboarder. Obviously. After that there's plenty of stories from you too, and we thank you for your continued dedication to the podcast about absolutely nothing at all. It's such fun to make for you. We'd...

Happy New Year everyone! We're now officially in the future, it's 2019. How exciting! On today's episode we discuss some of the predictions about what 2019 might look like, including the end of the working week as we know it (something that ended for both Luke and Pete some time ago...), what the future holds for both The Luke and The Pete, and the danger of the Deepfake. Oooh, scary. As discussed, if you've got something you want us to tackle in 2019, email us: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com ***Plea...

It's New Year's Eve! But that won't deter the chaps from discussing the big issues and getting reflective about the year that's just passed. We chat Pete's resolutions for next year (including why he doesn't really believe in them, obviously), and lots more. There's also plenty of time to hear from you guys, and to have an email considered for the show, it's hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Thanks for all your support in 2018, and we look forward to seeing more of you in 2019! Stay safe and call your m...

We're in that weird period of time between Christmas and New Year where no-one is really doing much of anything apart from you poor souls that have no choice but to go into work. This episode is for you, we got your back. For the rest of us, this week means leftover food, TV specials, the pub and taking it easy. Go on, you deserve it. Also, listen out for a treat of an email involving an enthusiastic approach to a school talent show. Now go get yourself another sherry, it's Christmas. Oh, and we...

What better way to usher in Christmas than with plenty of chat about dead people that have dedicated their bodies to science? That's right, Pete has been to the Body Worlds exhibition, brainchild of the controversial Dr Gunther von Hagens. It's not for the squeamish. In other more traditional fare, we discuss Christmas traditions, including Pete spending quite a depressing amount of Christmas Day alone (boo hoo), followed by near-death experiences, and finally crop circles with one of the 'world...

Hello to you all! You're very welcome in the Land of Luke and Pete. If you do visit us, expect to experience tales of a remarkable man climbing a huge rock, and the following: - Monkeys stealing crisps - Weird flavours of ice cream - Raw chicken - Things your mum steals from work ...and that's just one email. Elsewhere, there's discontinued food products, more on porn star Ben Dover and much, much more. Don't sleep on it. Talk to us: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com ***Please take the time to rate and ...

Greetings Luke and Peters! We're back, you literally can't get rid of us. This time around, among other things, we hear about a robot presented to a robotics expo that turned out to be not quite as it seemed, we marvel and worry simultaneously about the new social points system in China, and we obviously hear from you guys, including a listener who smashed his own face in and was rescued by a man in an anorak called Lucky Pete. No, not that one. We said 'lucky'. Get in touch: hello@lukeandpetesh...

Pete has learnt that pollution is so bad in China that it's apparently turning the snow yellow. Meanwhile, Luke is lucky to be here after running a road race in temperatures as low as -22C. What a cold start to this week's episode! And, with the help of you lovely listeners, our two eponymous anti-heroes also talk about school talent shows, internet criticism, and bogeys. Yes, bogeys. Deal with it. To tell us your best weather stories, or anything else for that matter: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com ...
