What does the dog say?

Hulk Hogan content is back on the show. The man might have been able to wrestle for 400 days in one year, but he doesn’t know what noise a dog makes. Interesting. Plus, Luke tells Pete about the time he met Laurence Fox and we hear a story about a dog that got pictured driving a car. Want to get in touch with the show?

Niam Leeson

Luke and Pete are genuinely impressed by that massive sphere in Las Vegas. It's just a shame that U2 are involved. Today, the lads discuss that and give an unwanted update on Liam Neeson. But fear not, there's also an update about some sheep that ate 100kg of cannabis. Want to get in touch with the show?

Unidentified flying Donaldson

The first five minutes of today’s show are spent talking about Luke’s idyllic trip to Newcastle. Then the lads start talking about conspiracy theories, obviously… Speaking of which, is it possible that the link between four separate UFO sightings is Pete Donaldson? Listen to find out more!

Low hanging asteroids

Science doesn't get the respect it deserves, apparently. Luke starts the show by telling us about the James Webb Telescope. Pete is suspicious that Luke is actually just somehow making a knob gag. Speaking of knob gags, Pete gives us an update on his mission to learn small talk... Want to get in touch with the show?

Pete talk

Remember that time capsule that was just filled with silt? Well, they have now found something else in there. Convenient... There has been another interesting find, this time in Brazil, where a brand new animal was amazingly discovered. Plus, Luke starts teaching Pete how to make small talk. It went even worse than you might think. Want to get in touch with the show? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow.

I'm gonna live forever

Would you want to live forever? Today, Luke and Pete discuss the tech billionaire who is trying to do just that. In contrast, Luke then suggests he could break the world record for eating Jaffa Cakes and the lads hear about a man that’s trying to RUN across the Atlantic. Yes you read that right, run!

A message in the silt

Pete leaves the country for two weeks and all the schools, hospitals and gyms are now falling down. Who knew that Donny was the man keeping this country together? Elsewhere, we hear about a 195-year-old time capsule which turned out to be quite disappointing and Pete explains what happens when a dog bites a battery, which is information he probably shouldn't have… Want to get in touch with the show?

Jurassic Clerk

Pete’s back from Japan! The highlights of the trip involved checking into a hotel where a dinosaur was working on reception and committing a cultural faux pas in a fancy restaurant. Meanwhile, in the UK, Pete had his scooter stolen and a man broke out of prison. It probably wasn’t worth coming back, to be honest. Want to get in touch with the show?

I would lie to you

Did you know that Hulk Hogan could have been in Metallica? Did you know Hulk Hogan wrestled 400 days in one year? Did you know that Elvis was a Hulkamaniac? No? That's because none of those things are true... Today, Pete tells Luke all about the many lies of Hulk Hogan. We also hear a ghost story that we want to believe and Pete asks the question, can you eat insulin? Worrying... Want to get in touch with the show?

Petey Fake Legs

Pete’s bought a pair of fake silicon legs! Confused? We were too. Find out why on today’s show.

Turned water into White Claw

What would Jesus be like at a party? That’s the debate that Luke and Pete start today’s show with. Elsewhere, Luke has been reading about what it’s like to live and work in Death Valley. He tells Pete all about that and the lads also discuss what are the perfect clothes for sleeping in. Want to get in touch with the show?

It makes you think

What makes someone believe in a conspiracy theory? Luke and Pete try to get to the bottom of that increasingly important question on today’s show. We then read your emails, which include another great example of someone’s job determining their career and a story from a listener who, like Luke, has had to battle with a neighbour who was trying to reserve their own parking space.

Oh, Mark Ruffalo

Pete reveals that he’s met the man who voiced Mario on today’s show. Should we be surprised by this news? We also hear all about the first time that Pete met Luke’s dad and Luke tells us about the rather entertaining colleague he used to work with. His catchphrase is particularly enjoyable.

Are you impressed?

The joke of this year's Edinburgh Fringe has been revealed and - unsurprisingly - Luke and Pete are not impressed. In a classic Luke and Pete pivot we go from talking about that to discussing head transplants. Plus, Pete reveals the real reason why he bought a Jag. Want to get in touch with the show?

Do you believe in ghosts?

Pete recently went on a ghost hunt. Although it sounds like he spent more time playing with tech than he did hunting ghosts, as you’d expect. In yet more predictable news, Luke’s fuming because his neighbour is once again using a traffic cone to save their parking space and a listener tells us about a bar in Madrid that is quite literally nuts.

The cult of Lochvinder

Pete's booked a load of surprise excursions in Japan for the partner he has access to. I think we all know how that’s going to end... We also take the time to discuss the potential cage fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk - and if that's not happening, we'll just do a Luke vs Pete cage fight instead!

The birthday paradox

Lad Moore takes us on a trip down memory lane as he regales Pete with stories all about his experience living with 30 other chaps while at university. Explains a lot… Once the nostalgia is over, we then try to finally prove the existence of the Birthday Paradox. The result was absolutely fascinating… Want to get in touch with the show?

Talk Moore

Pete’s finally going back to Japan for the first time in 3 and a half years. Now we know why he hasn’t paid his tax bill… As well as hearing all about that on today’s show we also read an email about nominative determinism aka people whose names seem to have decided their jobs. You’ll never guess what the world record holder for flipping and catching the most beer mats in one hand is called. Listen to find out. Want to get in touch with the show?

Don’t put silver balls in your ears

Luke and Pete both share a house with people and pets that don't respect them. Today, in hearing all about that Pete ends up doing an impression of his dog and telling us about the creative way he stopped the pup he has access to from licking his own nethers. Elsewhere, we hear about an extremely valuable arcade machine that was found in the street and marvel at Matt Hancock’s latest venture into content creation. Want to get in touch with the show?

Tax does have to be taxing

Luke puts his money where his mouth is regarding an impending pool competition and Pete puts his money as far away from the taxman as humanly possible (into pokemon cards and snouts.)

Luke vs Karen

An unnamed “clever, handsome” man who may or may not be Luke has started a war with one of his neighbours that is illegally trying to save a parking space. The Robin Hood of parking, I hear you say? Elsewhere, we hear about a policeman that got caught throwing naughty magazines out of his car window and a listener tells us about some quite incredible fried egg-flavoured crisps.

It’s timer to Heimer

Pete’s been to see Oppenheimer. And he's worked out how to improve the movie by creating a catchy catchphrase for J. Robert Oppenheimer! Luke hasn’t seen Oppenheimer, but he DOES have a different movie of the week recommendation. Elsewhere, Pete is forced to review his claim that he’s scored 180 while playing darts.

One hundred and Petey

Who do you think would win in a game of darts, Luke or Pete? How about pool? Luke lays down a pub games-themed gauntlet on today's show. The lads then reveal some of their teenage dating mishaps and a listener gets in touch recommending a quite amazing upgrade on the electric fly swat. Want to get in touch with the show?

Only Beef Cream and Pizzas

In an unbelievable turn of events, Pete recently went on an Only Fools and Horses-themed pilgrimage! He even bought some merch!! In an even more unbelievable turn of events, he somehow didn’t find an indie bar on his trip. But he did discover the pizza topping ‘Beef Cream’ - even he was slightly suspicious… Want to get in touch with the show?

Would you like to shoot my gun?

Indie Pete has deserted his former life of gigs and Indie Sleeze nights to go and watch some AI-inspired stand-up comedy. Still quite on-brand for Pete, to be fair. We then discuss our favourite anti-heroes from the world of American TV box sets - let us know who yours are! Also, a listener seeks our advice on whether he should have lent his gun to a random German he met in the American wilderness… Want to get in touch with the show?

Maggot Surprise

Pete started the day by clearing maggots out of his bin while his dog tried to hump his leg. We wish this was an exaggeration... In other news, Pete sent Luke an electric fly swat after we discussed them on the show recently and both lads take umbrage with the fact that producer Rory said a white chocolate Kinder Bueno is better than the traditional milk chocolate one.

American air base pirate

Pete’s got back into gaming. Sounds exciting, right? What it really involves is simulating a flight from Luton to Southend. Obviously… We then have a submission in our hunt to find a band with five 10/10 albums in a row and we hear about a dad that started a side hustle pirating American movies while working at a US air base. Excellent dad behaviour. Want to get in touch with the show? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. We're also ...

Alpha, Beta, Cocker

Pete’s been to see Pulp live recently and Luke is predictably displeased by his co-host's behaviour. It’s not stopping Pete from going to see them again though. Elsewhere, Luke has come to realise that this fatherhood thing is actually quite difficult. We also get an update from the listener that was standing to be elected for the Danish parliament.

The kids are alright?

News has reached us that KSI and Logan Paul have had bottles of Prime thrown at them. Is our protest finally working? On a related note, Pete takes time on today's show to applaud the creativity of the Grimace milkshake TikTok trend and we receive an email that explains that the conspiracy theory Pete made up might actually be true...
