The reincarnation of Diggory Donaldson

It’s a transformational show for Pete today. He opens it with a major announcement about a seismic change he has made to his life. What's more, we then hear there's been an enormous change to the aesthetic of his alter ego, Diggory. Finally, we have a delightful email relating to night-out shortcuts and getting attacked by big cats. We want to hear your stories relating to best/worst night-out shortcuts, getting attacked by animals and the most severe way you’ve hurt your hand. Email: hello@luke...

Why am I drinking Tyskie in a nice restaurant?

Here at The Luke and Pete Show people look to us as the leading spokespeople in podcasting on social etiquette. Today we confront our biggest challenge yet and face up to the issue of night-out etiquette. Once we’ve solved that, Luke gives us a rundown on The Apprentice and we discuss whether men can breastfeed. We love to read out your stories on the show. Get in touch, email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a fol...

Man! I Feel Like an Unknown Euphemism!

Welcome back! We start today’s show in the most obvious place: Shania Twain’s Wikipedia. We then take a deep dive into a series of film and TV reviews before hearing about Pete’s Eye of Sauron. We’ll let you decide if that's a euphemism. Finally, we have time for battery brands and hear about some of Luke’s lookalikes. Know anyone who looks like Luke? Let us know, email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow whi...

Why do these kids look like ostriches?

It’s Monday, on today’s show Pete is very upset after hearing Logan Paul has been having issues with his rare Pokémon cards. Before we know it we're discussing deep state conspiracies and QAnon, obviously. Luke then brings us back down to earth by telling us about ostriches that escaped from a zoo and in the emails we discuss acceptable bus etiquette. Do you need us to solve any other social dilemmas? Let us know, email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: ...

You’re twisting my UFO man

Here we go, it's the day you have all been waiting for: today we finally announce the results of our big battery poll and reveal whether “Aerolatte” AAs will be received as a new player into our battery database. *drumroll please* But before that, conversation turns to the hazy world of UFOs and the Happy Mondays. Two naturally related topics, of course. Your stories are key to The Luke and Pete Show. Send them in, email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram:...

Non-fartible token (NFTs special)

This week, we start our NFTs special in the most logical place: Pete’s dad’s local pub. Once that is covered, we get back on track (slightly) by hearing about a woman who is NFTing her own farts. We also hear from some people that actually know about NFTs and there's an email about Ninjas. Got a story you think we might like to hear? Email hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there! Hosted on Acast...

Bugs not hugs

Pete has been doing some “work” research by checking out Spotify's back catalogue of erotic podcasts. He reportedly hasn’t managed to find a Hero Quest episode yet, but we’ll keep you updated. We then discuss the prospect of replacing meat with bugs and there is some major controversy in our mission to enter some new players into the game. Do you have any thoughts on our battery protocol? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel fre...

Forest Defenestration

It’s a new week and Luke has arrived with a story about how he chucked his Christmas tree out of the window. However, that has nothing on Pete’s chat about his New Year with a surgeon he has access to. Cue a full studio meltdown. Once the lads have calmed down, they find time to read an email about car theft and wheel locks. It’s good advice, really. If you want to share some good advice with The Luke and Pete Show community, email hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or ...

The breastfeeding cat

It’s Thursday on the Luke and Pete Show and we’re here to bring you a story about a woman breastfeeding a cat. What else did you expect? We then hear why Pete would be happy to take a couple of years in prison and finally get to the bottom of the origin of Raver Fuel Beans that we were sent on Twitter. Do you have any access to sweet beans? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there!

A romp of biting otters

Welcome to the future. It’s 2022, and Pete is teaching Luke about those ultramodern NFTs. The outcome? They’re all shit. One thing that isn’t shit, however, is a story about a man who got bitten by otters. Thankfully Luke has one of them. We also re-visit Yakults and catalytic converter theft in the emails. Let us know how your year is going so far. Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Feel free to give us a follow while you're there...

Reproducing salmon

Arm-shelving still exists in 2021 and Pete won’t stand for it! We are hurtling towards a new, hopefully arm-shelf free, year and the lads are back for one final show. Today we hear about how Luke saw the new Ghostbusters, Pete tells us about salmon semen and we add some new players to the game. It’s just another episode of The Luke and Pete Show. Thank you very much for your support throughout 2021. Whether you have sent us an email, left us a review or just listened to an episode you are a majo...

Christmas Special Part 2: Pete's naughty little secret

We’re back! What day of the week is it? We don’t know, but what we do know is that we are here for part 2 of our Christmas special. We’re discussing the top 10 Christmas songs and reading more of your best and worst Christmas stories. Pete then ends the show by delivering us all a belated Christmas present when he reveals a very personal secret… Are you prepared to tell us your personal secrets?

Christmas Special Part 1: A lovely old Christmas fight

It was the show before Christmas, and Luke and Pete are here with the first part of the LAPS Christmas special. On the show, the lads discuss what their ideal Christmas presents would be. For Pete, it is NOT socks. We then get into the festive spirit by reading out your best and worst Christmas stories, including tales about a Christmas fight and getting drunk with dad. Everyone at the Luke and Pete Show hopes you have a wonderful Christmas. Feel free to get in touch and tell us what you are up ...

An acquired taste of a human being

This is the Luke and Pete Show, your one-stop shop for all of the latest Sex and the City news, apparently. Once Pete has updated us on the latest goss *spoiler alert*, we then get into the show's beef with Peloton and learn why Pete doesn’t want to exercise in the new year. We also receive a delightful email concerning ninja gyms and read some parkour reviews. That’s the stuff.

Why is there a bull in a striped shirt?

Today, Luke and Pete finally manage to stay on topic for long enough to talk about Luke’s trip to Devon, where he played the fruit machine in the arcade. A baffling experience for the wife he has access to. We then hear about some quality school boy behaviour (which we do not endorse) relating to deodorant flamethrowers and lockerbombs. It's good stuff. Have a story relating to any other behaviour that we don’t endorse? Email hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instag...

Monster trucks are back, baby!

What do Pete and Marcus Rashford have in common? They work hard for the kids. Unfortunately, those kids have been deprived of monster trucks for far too long – but that time is over. Monster trucks are back, baby! After this cause for celebration, we get a Stewey Donaldson update and receive an email regarding a very anonymous police tape. Do you have access to a police tape?

Outlaw mod hairdresser

Welcome to today's modcast! The thought of Pete Donaldson driving over two hours to Norwich to go to an Indie night was too much for Luke on today’s show. Thankfully, Donaldson is still in his prime... We finish the show by revisiting a highly controversial topic - the full English breakfast - as we have an email about a hero of the fry-up community who is shouldering the burden for the rest of us. Send us your stories about your best and worst Christmases! hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can g...

Terrible steak, excellent sprouts

Tis’ the season for Brussels sprouts! Luke and Pete have started attending those dreaded Christmas parties which, if we’re honest, are situations where neither of them excel. One thing Pete does excel at is forgetting Luke's TV recommendations - he managed to watch his most recent recommendation by accident. Once we bypass this awkward situation, we hear from a man who has a photographic archive of hand dryers. How's that for an early Christmas present? Ahead of the big day, we are wanting you t...

Anti-vaxxers, horse meat and Christmas adverts

Please, take a moment to be present, it’s Thursday and the Christmas party season has officially started. Luke and Pete are discussing anti-vaxxers, horse meat and Christmas adverts, three things that appear to have nothing in common but are all strangely related. We then read an email and celebrate the mighty deodorant flamethrower. Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow.

Cans

It’s Monday, so grab a can and come listen to the Luke and Pete Show! We’ll be having all the usual tipsy chat, from “Dr” Gillian McKeith checking out people’s poo to a man cooking his own testicles. If that isn’t enough to tickle your fancy, we also have an email on the subject of dodgy hand dryers.

Money Talks, in association with Klarna

On today’s bonus episode, Luke and Pete are playing Klarna’s brand new game, Money Talks, which is designed to get people talking more openly about money. The lads are sharing what they’d buy if money was no object, how their upbringings have influenced their spending habits and the things in life that are worth spending that little bit more on! Head to www.klarnamoneytalks.com to register for a chance to get a free copy of the card game and download the Klarna app for a smarter way to shop and ...

I’m here to pick up a wand

Pete is still spending most of his spare time on Facebook Marketplace - but he isn't selling a magic wand, much to the disappointment of a five-year-old child. We recover from that crushing setback by celebrating the wonderful Takeshi’s Castle. We then finish off the show by trying to answer the big question: what wouldn’t be improved by the addition of Snoop Dogg? We couldn’t think of anything, can you?

The sweetest beans

Welcome to the Luke and Pete Show Beans Special. We’re talking sweet beans, baked beans, useless butter beans - not the boxer, although he also gets a mention. We then swap our magic beans for a cow going down a waterslide and an email about Harry Styles. Come and have a listen, you cowards. Want to talk to us about beans?

Ian Brown’s nunchucks

Pete has only brought two subjects that he wants to discuss on today’s show: Ian Brown’s nunchucks and a lead singer who took a very interesting course of action when needing to answer nature’s call. Warning, that second story is worse than you think. After wading through those big issues, we just about have time to check in with two of our regular features on the show - battery brands and chasing dads. Have a story you want us to discuss?

Did you know Lionel Blair was born in Canada?

It’s Monday, and it was an eventful weekend. Pete stepped out of his comfort zone and attended a 90s weekender at Butlin's in Bognor, while Luke stayed in and witness a major incident of his own. Luke also manages to say “the most boring thing he has ever said” on the podcast - brace yourselves. Think you can offer something slightly less boring?

Pete bought a second reel-to-reel player

Heartbreak on today’s Luke and Pete Show; apparently the traditional full English breakfast is a dying art. We mourn that and also hear how Pete bought a new reel-to-reel player to find out what was on the tape on his old, broken reel-to-reel player. The result was, err... disappointing. Stasi Dad’s son also got back in touch to assure you his dad “is not a Stasi man”. Not a Stasi man? Let us know: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Hosted on Acast.

Marvel Studios: The Dregs

Luke went to see the new Marvel movie this weekend, even though no one warned him to avoid any outdoor activity first - the big sleepy bear. To be fair, it was only the dregs of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Elsewhere we have some feel-good content, as Pete met some police dogs and we get an email from a wholesome dad. Is your dad wholesome? Let us know: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Chasing dads

It’s Thursday, it’s The Luke and Pete show and we have more stories about being chased by dads thanks to an email from listener Carl. However, before we get round to that Luke and Pete try to settle the big debate - If something comes out of your bum, is it poop? Our excellent battery form also continues as we welcome a few new players to the game. Get in touch: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

The Shoreditch of Lithuania

Pinch punch! It’s the 1st of November and spooky season has been and gone. Today we chat about Halloween, and more importantly, how Pete didn’t invite Luke to his party. Pete also tells us about his trip to The Republic of Užupis, The Shoreditch of Lithuania. (He didn’t invite Luke to that either) As usual, we finish off with a few emails, including a wholesome story about dad karate and a slightly less wholesome correspondence about a Dad that may or may not have worked for The Stasi. Was your ...

Mormon karate master

It’s Thursday, everyone - we're back! Luke and Pete are talking dads, Mormons and karate masters. Or, in one extraordinary case, a dad Mormon karate master. We also had some correspondence on the subject of soiled pants and even found time to enter a couple of new players into the game! Got a story to share with us? Send it to hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
