I don’t respect my George Foreman Grill

Back for another week! Today on The Luke and Pete Show, we discuss which household appliances we respect the most. Spoiler alert - Luke's George Foreman takes an absolute battering... Elsewhere, there's a video that sparks Pete Donaldson's holy trinity of nightmares and listener Luke from Cardiff weighs in with some epic classic dad behaviour.

Crocodile Heads in Norfolk

Why don't billionaires do a remake of the Titanic? Why is a man going to Norfolk to buy dead crocodile heads? How are space probes fuelled? Why has a man who films cyst-ridden cow hooves got over a million subscribers on YouTube? If you can find a single other podcast anywhere in the world answering the breadth of questions like above then please subscribe to it. Go on, do it. Do it with our blessing. But until then, stick with good ol' Lukey and Petey. We'll see you right. Get in touch: hello@l...

New Rave Roller Coasters

Happy Monday! Welcome back to another half an hour with The Luke and The Pete. This time around we talk James Bond, which naturally leads into a chat about cinema etiquette and what level and frequency of cough Pete deems acceptable in the movie theatre. There's also more tales from listeners about their school's approach to whatever non-existent drug problem existed at the time and we spend what feels like a lot of minutes talking about morning routines. What's yours? Let us know: hello@lukeand...

Fiddling with your own shed

We come to you this Thursday with bad news. Pete's shed has stopped working! All the electrics have packed in and our eponymous hero is left wondering what to do. Hopefully he can get it sorted before the weather gets really cold. Elsewhere, we talk the improvement in hand driers, the etiquette of the public toilet, a man that left skidmarked pants at Pete's house and the time his Dad nearly killed a man. Yes you read that correctly, and no those two incidents are not related. To get in touch, i...

Bernard Matthews is a turkey man, first and foremost

Welcome along to a new week of LAPS, as the cool kids are calling it now. Luke and Pete, resplendent in their shackets, join each other to talk about a number of commercially available beverages, including Special Brew, Diet Coke and San Pellegrino, before getting stuck into some other bits and pieces including the Lake District, an app designed to stop incest and much, much more. We also hear from you, the listener, and your finest tales as well, and if you're reading this and have never sent u...

Who's going to tell Busta Rhymes?

Happy Thursday! It's time for some more tales from the broadcasting front line, courtesy of our eponymous heroes. On this episode, we first take in what it's like to work in a non-traditional office, before Pete sings the praises of the humble rice cooker, and Luke runs the rule over haircut etiquette. We also take the time to double check that Pete wasn't mentioned in the Pandora Papers, hear about a listener who had his flip-flop stolen by an unlikely thief, and end on an evisceration of one o...

Selling your skin

Welcome to a new week of LAPS! It's lovely to have you along. Pete's back from his holidays with the partner he has access to, but he missed the dogs he has access to and it turns out there's a problem with the fridge he has access to. So, a mixed bag really. We start proceedings by getting stuck into Saltbae in a way that we could never afford to do in his actual restaurant, before waxing lyrical about foxes and walkie talkies. Our wonderful LAPS family has also excelled itself with some storie...

Mind that horse

Just how much time did Pete spend on that Jack Bauer chat forum back in the day? The guys attempt to get to grips with it and find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes... Elsewhere, there's an update from the UK swingers scene, the boys learn about the perils of a vaping convention, and discuss the relative acting merits of Keanu Reeves. Oh, and today's show also contains the following - baths, horse shit, the imperial measurement system and The One Show. Actually those first three subjects so...

Paranormal activity in the shed

Has Pete bought a set of walkie talkies to use down the shed so he doesn't need to spend quite as much time in the house? Yes, yes he has. And that can only be good news for the Luke and Pete Show, let's be honest. But what's this? One of the walkie talkies appears to be haunted? Ooooooooh, tell us more Donny... PS: We also find some time to talk about a man who had a bike ride to remember and Mick Fleetwood. hello@lukeandpeteshow.com is the destination for all of your stories! Hosted on Acast. ...

Volcano Pete

Pete is off to the Canary Islands just in time to see a volcano erupt everywhere. Bloody typical. Will he come back covered in molten hot magma? Stay tuned to find out. What else does today's show consist of, we hear you ask? Well, there's a cat having problems using his catflap, a trip or two to the greyhounds, and a very naughty grandparent. Be warned.

You bloody fool

Welcome back to another episode of The Luke and Pete Show!

The least trusted haircut

The chaps are back with another round of nonsense, but they start with the big one - what is the least trusted haircut? As well as that, Pete discovers the Milk Crate Challenge just 20 weeks after it all started, decides he'd quite like to be a taxi driver at some point, and gives us all his theories on sea sickness. There's also time for your stories as well, and one of them involves a quite awkward conversation around not deleting one's browsing history. Consider yourselves warned. Let's hear ...

A cycle trip from hell

It's Thursday, so that must mean it's time for another edition of The Luke and Pete Show! We start today's episode by trying to work out where Pete can go on his next holiday, before ending the discussion by asking why people are always the worst versions of themselves at airports. Elsewhere, there are protests, more sheep food chat and a group of listeners heading across Europe on their bikes with disastrous consequences. Looking for somewhere to send a story? Here's the place: hello@lukeandpet...

It's not always Dad

Welcome back to another week in the company of Luke and Pete! We hope you had a lovely weekend. This time around, the LAPS chaps discuss moviemaking, inspired by Luke taking a couple of trips to the cinema. After that, we hear another story involving a listener's parent's specialist DVD collection. In other news, Pete has a problem with his eye which he thinks may have come from him refusing professional make up for a live theatre performance of Wrestle Me, to instead draw all over his face with...

Strip your bed, you disgusting human

It's the great debate of our time: what process do you go through when you check out of a hotel? Luke and Pete clash on the correct way to leave your room for the cleaners, before turning their attention to a typically diverse array of different topics including asthma and ill-advised ways to commemorate the life of the great Martin Luther King. Elsewhere, there's some fresh batteries to look at, as yet more listeners step up and try to find a new player to enter the game, and we get through a c...

Velvety soft

Welcome to another week in paradise! Your hosts, as ever, are Luke and Pete. Your subjects this time around are, in no particular order, animals that have lived the longest, trees with coins bashed into them, deer velvet, ice skating, car parking and Pete's historic constipation. We also take the time to recount a story courtesy of one of our listeners about a European cycle trip gone awry, and it's a belter. Have a great week!

Scrotum FM

Happy Thursday everyone! The weekend is nearly upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with half an hour of chat from your two favourite reprobates? On today's show, as well as all the usual chutney about batteries, we've got an interesting legal loophole in the United States, the philosophy that underpins Wikipedia (quite literally), and news from Pete of a CIA spy device that really has to be heard to be believed. Don't go anywhere, keep it Luke and Pete. And to get further involved, it...

Linda Lusardi is a Worthy Foe

Welcome back to another week of Luke and Pete nonsense! You're very welcome. Today, the boys start with chat about Pete's dad's specialist VHS tapes before rapidly moving on to AI robots, Pete's worries for the near future and his ability to dream up imaginative but wholly innocent scenarios involving 80s glamour models. Elsewhere there's a horrific skunk story from one of the LAPS family (we apologise in advance) as well as several other missives, including one email in particular that's just v...

20 Years Ago, That's a South Park Episode

Alright, listen up. Today's Luke and Pete Show contains prosperity gospel preachers, the moustached pillow guy that loves Donald Trump, heavy metal, one of our listeners filming himself in an amazon store, and another one of our listeners getting bitten on the foreskin and scrotum by one of God's creatures (probably unrelated to the preacher we mentioned earlier). I honestly don't know how you can listen to this show, a show that is completely free, and not be astonished by the amount of content...

You Ain't No Skunk, You Skunk

Welcome back to another week of LAPS episodes, guys! Luke is back after some time away and he's telling stories about little critters making big smells. Elsewhere, they're asking that age-old question: What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor 'cos he's hungry? And the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

We bloody would! In this show, Pete and Marc and Chris forget to talk about batteries, and instead shamelessly hawk tickets to the very best Stak.london shows at this years' London Podcast Festival.

Big in Japan

Guest star Vithushan Ehantharajah from the Football Ramble kindly joins an ailing Pete for a bit of Luke and Pete show fun.... LIVE FROM JAPAN! We talk all things Olympics, all things convenience stores and whether you can truly trust a store that has a tiny cardboard policeman guarding its wares. Oh, and Pete's got an update on his driving test. Could only happen to him, the daft prick. (Yes this is Pete writing about himself in the third person.) Hosted on Acast.

Sunburnt Nostrils

Hello and a very warm welcome to another episode of the Luke and Pete Show! Today, Pete is back from a trip to the races and a visit to the beautiful city of York, although he doesn't appear to have learnt a huge amount about it. The boys also find time to talk about ultramarathons, which is interesting as neither of them will ever find the time to actually do one, obviously. Elsewhere, there's temperature chat, dishwashers, microwaves, and plenty more besides, including your emails. To join in ...

Paint 'Em, But Don't Play With 'Em

Happy Thursday, PALS! Today's episode is all about chatting to people in shops, working out the best way to escape mosquito bites, listening to a man from Wrexham, and the legendary Games Workshop. There's also a chilling story of a listener being let down by the great Tom Cruise, so stick around for that. If you've ever been let down by a celebrity, we want to know about it.
