The Luke and Pete Show

Pete kicks things off with an identity crisis – he’s convinced he’s 34, and Luke has the unenviable task of breaking the news that he’s... absolutely not. Talk then turns to Pete’s upcoming WrestleMe Vegas trip and the truly chaotic prospect of a 120-man Royal Rumble. That’s a lot of sweaty bodies! Elsewhere, after a brief detour into 'The Slug', the lads debate where the line is drawn between harmless kink and full-blown creep behaviour. Plus, why do homophobes always say things are being jammed down their throats? Is it just a coincidence… or the Freudian slip of the century?

Today, Luke reflects on the pain of a joke that doesn't land with Gen Z — but insists it’s them, not him. He also shares the story of his Seven Sisters hike gone wrong, which left him injured and his wife unimpressed. Elsewhere, Pete reckons he might have worms after a week of dodgy meals — there’s always a gastrological problem with him isn’t there! The lads also dive into golf’s strangest traditions… like the Masters champion choosing the dinner for the following year. So, what would you have?

Today, Luke and Pete dive into the UK’s sugar tax and discover why Mexican Coke is far superior. Luke confesses he can’t stomach the punch of full-fat drinks anymore, unlike Pete, who’s mesmerised by the sheer amount of sugar he could consume — enough to make his liver beautifully sweet! Elsewhere, they reflect on how acting has improved since the 80s, with Pete arguing that we’re expecting way too much from actors these days. Plus, he’s got some choice words for the kid from Adolescence, who, it turns out, actually did go to drama school… And, how upset should you really be if your popcorn shrimp still has the poo sack inside?

Today, after Pete introduces us to the world of expat DJ channels, Luke is left wondering why some expats seem to loathe British culture — especially the ones who spend their days googling Sadiq Khan and eat only English food once they've moved to Spain. Luke wants absolutely nothing to do with it, so Pete offers up an alternative: life in a swamp, anyone? Plus, someone’s eating sunflower seeds with the shells still on…pure lunacy, and Pilot Dave is back in the LAPS cockpit!

Today, Luke and Pete tackle life’s big questions: how much money would it take to make them disappear forever? A hundred quid would sort one of them, apparently. And whose teeth would look better in whose mouth? Elsewhere, Pete reminisces about the time he got hench for a bit, before he pitches the idea of having entrance music in the office like a WWE star. We also wonder if Elon Musk has daddy issues and Pete has a few words for scarily ambitious voiceover thief Charlie…not from Carlisle.

Cue a desperate Walgreens enema purchase, a brutal two-and-a-half-week ordeal, and a story that Luke will not let him forget. Elsewhere, the lads dive into the misery of kitchen appliance repairs, with Luke recounting an awkward run-in with a deeply grumpy Zanussi repairman.

Pete’s convinced today’s thatchers are just winging it... Then, the lads take a moment of silence for Skype before Luke gets absolutely ecstatic about the unexpected return of The Beta Band.

Elsewhere, the lads take a deep dive into the baffling world of cosmetic procedures, from Turkey teeth to Botox, and debate whether they should get involved.

The lads are back, kicking things off with the internet fallout they got from the horrific childhood story Pete told last week — turns out, Luke got all the messages while Pete somehow dodged the interrogation. Meanwhile, an entirely different horror emerges: the concept of a piss drawer. Could Pete introduce one into his household? Luke has… concerns.

The lads kick things off with the great Nepo Baby debate—where does nepotism actually end, and is being the niece of Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson enough to count? This, naturally, leads to an important clarification: Pete is not related to Mr. Beast or any other famous Donaldsons. But today's real highlight?

Pete kicks things off with a deeply unsettling childhood memory—let’s just say it involves his dad, a used condom, and an innocent misunderstanding that still haunts him to this day. Luke, naturally, has many questions… Elsewhere, the lads tackle the great working-class dad salt obsession, and Pete recounts his trip to Hartlepool, where he received rockstar treatment at a retirement home just for bringing his baby.

The lads dive into the absurdity of modern reality TV, breaking down the viral Temptation Island moment where one man, Montoya, processes betrayal through a mix of heartbreak and deeply unnecessary cardio. Luke and Pete marvel at the sheer spectacle but can’t help but wonder—what have we done to ourselves as a society? Beyond that, they find time to dissect the Super Bowl halftime show, and a listener offers to send Pete a DIY fuzz pedal kit—which he’s already scheming to use for harmonised loops of the word “piss.” What could possibly go wrong?

This sets Luke off on a raging rant about a recent article exposing how noise complaints are slowly strangling London’s nightlife.

Should the lads start wearing makeup? Luke thinks he always looks sickly on camera, while Pete suggests a few injections might do the trick. If that fails, he’s considering tattooing his hairline instead. Elsewhere, Pete lays out his very specific travel MO: dawdling, dinner, and—most importantly—an ungodly hotel bathroom session upon arrival. Then, Luke adits he's surprised Pete's never late, but when he is, it's because he’s had a full-blown menty-b. Speaking of which, Luke nearly had one himself after losing his 20-year-old wallet for the first time in his life. And if that wasn’t enough, Pete geeks out over transacoustic guitars, and the lads debate whether Luke could pull off a moustache...Spoiler: he’s not convinced.

Then, they lay out their own presidential plans—starting with an executive order to ban raspberry yoghurts nationwide. Elsewhere, Pete’s voice machine impression of Luke’s child leaves Luke thoroughly creeped out, there’s another mad documentary recommendation, and after a woodworm fiasco, Pete’s officially done with the whole “owning a house” thing.

Then, the chat veers into a debate on archiving lost media and Pete’s dad’s illegal but oddly impressive DVD stash. Plus, Luke also recommends a gripping BBC documentary on the 7/7 bombings, sparking a conversation on resilience, forgotten history, and the remarkable stories of triumph that emerge in the face of tragedy.

Pete then shares a story about his dad randomly bringing home a snooker table and a bag of balls, sparking a debate about the most inconvenient gifts (spoiler: Luke once sent someone a box of crickets). Elsewhere, Pete declares that the true meaning of life is enjoying the art of antagonising friends and colleagues.

Of course, this sparks a full-on mug-off: Who’s got the best collection? Does Luke have a serious mug hoarding problem? And why does tea taste better from a stolen mug? The lads then turn their attention to the gentrification of Margate, posing the question: is it a seaside gem or... just a sh*thole? Plus, Pete reflects on the whirlwind of heartfelt congratulations (and a few dubious comments) he’s received about his family’s adoption journey…thankfully, the adoption council wasn’t made up of you lot!

Plus, listener emails bring plenty of laughs, including one poor soul’s cold shower encounter featuring horse-related podcast banter and an awkward run-in with their head of department.

Today, the lads unwrap the baffling Christmas tradition of ‘Hide the Pickle’, courtesy of a listener email. But the real showstopper? Luke can barely contain his excitement as he recounts the heroic tale of how he saved Christmas! Then, Donny steps into the spotlight as an unexpected Christmas tree connoisseur. Elsewhere, Pete shares his love for Skunk Anansie’s Post Orgasmic Chill—and his equally passionate hatred for the weatherman behind the Children in Need 24-Hour Drumathon. And in true Luke fashion, he’s having second thoughts about joining fight club, all because of the “first night, first fight” rule. Is his fear justified? You decide!

It’s an email special! We’re down to *only* thirty-three pages of unread emails, so let’s dive into the bulging postbag for a rummage around. We’re talking things that make us proud to be British (spoiler: not many), which way to go down a Japanese escalator and how you’d go about eating a McDonald’s nugget every minute for an hour.   Rest assured, we also recap Pete’s interview technique with Green Day back in the day. Remember, just wear a t-shirt from an obscure punk band. Either that or dress up like a diseased Hobgoblin mascot.

Ever wondered how to future-proof your wardrobe? Simple: just buy the same two shirts in every single possible size, to account for life’s weight fluctuations. Foolproof, even at Christmas! We recap Luke’s awkward but enjoyable night at a recent awards show, and trace Pete’s recent skirmish with some debt collection agencies. Stay tuned for our totally legitimate advice on how to deal with them - plus, batteries proved a mixed bag…   Email: [email protected] or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Luke rings in December with a festive jingle before Pete takes the reins dissecting Coca-Cola’s AI-driven Christmas ad, questioning why AI can’t just handle the boring stuff to free us up for creative brilliance. Elsewhere, Pete contemplates picking up a microwave from the Aldi centre aisle—a move that would delight Luke’s centre-aisle-obsessed wife. And if that’s not enough, the lads get fired up over Robbie Williams, before they unveil the mystery of Sleep Token thanks to a listener email.

In true Donny fashion, Pete kicks things off with his latest barber saga – complete with language barriers, dodgy clippers, and a room so hot you’d melt. Luke spots all the red flags and raises the vital question: Was Pete’s haircut done by a shop watcher instead of an actual barber? Probably... but hey, anything for good content! Plus, Pete reveals that he’s officially hung up his tinkering hat and now “has” to buy a new 3D printer – because who has time to mess with the old one?

Today, Pete’s wrestling with a truly 'hypothetical' dilemma: if banished to the apology cabin by the partner he has access to, could he use his 3D printer to cook sausages and reinvent himself as Heston Blumenthal 2.0? Naturally, Luke is on hand to help him evaluate this groundbreaking culinary experiment. Meanwhile, Luke takes a deep dive into the BBC’s Boyband documentary, offering his take on its eye-opening exploration of the music industry’s darker side.

Luke’s back from a magical fly-fishing trip to Scotland, but not without drama—his plans were almost derailed by the dirtiest car boys in the game: National Car Rental. Meanwhile, Luke vents about a loud admin-loving woman in the quiet carriage, and Pete casually points out a simple solution: noise-cancelling headphones. Revolutionary, really.  And naturally, the lads can’t resist a bit of fashion chat, with Luke summing up Pete’s style as: “Well done, but confusing.” Email: [email protected] or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Today on the show, Pete’s getting a little too obsessed with his mitre saw, feeling all powerful like…hold up, Jesus? Are we hearing that right? The lads dive deep into another Jesus convo, but this time, they’re brainstorming how he could really stamp out any doubt about his existence. Could he pull a Taylor Swift on us and pop up at a gig? Or bless his disciples with 12 shiny new treadmills? Maybe he could show us the wonders of a Nectar card or even unveil a car with a mystical twist? The possibilities are endless! Plus, Luke opens up about a personal low point of the week: being utterly shamed by a delivery driver. It’s a wild ride, as always.

The lads kick off by confessing their celebrity crushes, starting strong with Denzel Washington before honourable mentions go to Mr Tumble - and, yes - Pete even declares his affection for Johnny 5 from Short Circuit. From there, it’s onto iconic 80s movies, leading to the ultimate question: what truly defined coolness in the 80s? Their answer: eating raw jelly, and biscuits straight from the packet, obviously. And of course, today’s episode wouldn't be complete without a proper dive into the aftermath of the US election.

Pete amazingly starts today’s show by revealing that he likes Monday mornings. So Luke comes to one conclusion… Pete is turning into Stewy Donaldson! Elsewhere, Luke and Pete learn all about home fries aka the act of bringing your own fish fillet to the fish and chip shop. Plus, Luke tells Pete that he recently got into an accident on his Lime bike.

Today, the lads take on the entertainment world, covering everything from Mr Tumble to Homeland, and how 80s TV stars keep walking into radio gigs. Luke asks if Pete’s ever thought about acting, but Pete’s not convinced he’d remember his lines - until he has a brainwave: films would be wrapped up much faster if actors just had earpieces feeding them their lines. We’re looking at you, Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp... Elsewhere, Luke gets defensive about his keyboard, sorry “electric piano”, and the lads dive into a hot debate: who’s the greatest lyricist in rap history? Luke’s got one answer, and he’s pretty sure it’s the only right one.

Today, it’s an email special, and the lads dive right in. First, Pete gets a roasting from an accountant over his take on charity tax write-offs, while another listener resurrects the classic “Did Pete know how Jesus died?” debate. Spoiler: yes, he knew about the crucifixion...but the finer details? Still a bit hazy. Meanwhile, Luke’s inspired by his brother-in-law’s legendary feat of downing 52 chicken nuggets in one sitting, sparking the ultimate question: how many could you take on in a single go? Let us know!
