The Luke And Pete Show

This time around on your common-or-garden Luke and Pete Show, The Pete has been back to the motherland unannounced to see his dear old mother and to annoy his father with Tivo-based tricks. Meanwhile, Luke's been for afternoon tea, the boys show yet more love for the great Carly Rae Jepsen, and there's a listener reporting an erroneous shaving of facial hair.Elsewhere, a listener quite literally ruins Easter for a group of children and there's more curious French behaviour, this time from the 16th century.To infiltrate us: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Pilot Neil is back in the Luke and Pete Show cockpit and he doesn't disappoint, the boys get excited about terrible 90s boy bands (most notably the great E-Male) and Pete reveals yet another remarkable childhood skill, arguably more impressive than eating frozen sausages and not dying.We also delight in emails about party tricks that have gone wrong, Pete's pet hate (ankles) and a Mencarta involving a mass poisoning in southern France.

This episode contains all the S words: snooker, The Simpsons, and sex education. And speaking of the latter, a listener gets in touch with perhaps the most embarrassing, cringeworthy and awkward situation a young student could find themselves in.And, as is becoming a Luke and Pete Show custom, Pete reveals rather too much information about himself as a child. There's also time to hear from Detective George from Baltimore who gives his top stakeout tips, and we learn about what sounds like the world's best apple. How do you like them apples, huh?To send us apples, hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

This time around we delight in some truly embarrassing school stories, including possibly the worst threat of violence ever and an ill-advised Nazi-themed tactic to impress a girl, we deliver a couple of well-overdue Duncan Bannatyne updates (one of which the doesn't show the big man in the best light) and we hear of a particularly hardy South African toad.Elsewhere, Luke's been to Munich, and in an unrelated issue there's a bit on everyone's favourite rodent - the humble (and massive) capybara.Why not share in this nonsense? hello@lukeandpeteshow.com to become an accomplice!***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Pete's been to the good ol' US of A and admits that he is essentially the worst travel companion ever, as well as recounting a frankly quite horrific story of his AirBnB involving a random stranger in a rocking chair. In addition to that we listen to some of your stories about, among other things, attempts to solve the now infamous Bo Bedingfield Mystery, a few more terrible band names, and a quite underrated story about Noel Edmonds. Again. You can't keep Edmonds out of this show.To get involved in this foul jamboree, email us: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Ever wondered what it's like to be swallowed by a hippo? Well, wonder no more as your boys have found a story of a man who experienced it. We'll be honest, it doesn't sound that nice.Also, everyone's favourite drill sergeant, R Lee Ermey, has sadly passed away, although that death wasn't hippo-related you'll be pleased to hear. And if that wasn't enough, there's more plane chat, including how you can still visit the cockpit, and we receive a missive about possibly the stupidest driver of all time.There's also a mystery to be solved, so listen out for that and send all your theories into hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Pete's been admiring Beyoncé from afar, Luke's been admiring Duncan Bannatyne from afar (again) and we settle the 'Can you land in a wingsuit without a parachute?' debate once and for all, courtesy of a stuntman.Elsewhere, giant moths v a tennis racket in a battle of wits for the ages, possibly the world's most terrifying sniper and lots, lots more.

This week, we hear more about not only school trips, but school visits from celebrities including a truly heart-wrenching tale about a listener that missed out on an encounter with Kriss Akabusi.There's also time for a truly depressing domestic tale, a *magnificent* mishearing of a school staple that you won't want to miss, and a weird period WHEN MEAT FELL FROM THE SKY. Also, listeners to this damn show have started using our email address to sign up to wifi all over the world, something we naturally support and endorse. Keep it interesting though, yeah? There's only so many Virgin East Coast Trains emails we can realistically receive.At the risk of encouraging this nonsense, it's: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Still on a high from a visit to southern Italy, Luke's started reading Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah. Meanwhile, Pete takes a trip down memory lane and treats us all to his favourite Red Dwarf moments. Conversation then understandably takes a trip to the dark side courtesy of Craig 'Dave Lister' Charles' penchant for grumble mags and crack.Before we depart, we of course read out some of your missives, including one in particular about left-handedness, ruminate on what Duncan Bannatyne has been up to, and then open the creaking door to Mencarta to hear about a man who made quite a bad mistake at work, yet miraculously survived to tell the tale.Send your proton beams here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Our eponymous heroes, The Luke and The Pete, are back fresh from Naples and talking all things Italian (pizza, sculpted eyebrows etc) as well as car rentals, why Pete insists on recording the occasional podcast in bare feet - something that Luke finds completely unacceptable - and the strange Donaldson family trait of giving sausages at Easter in lieu of chocolate eggs.Elsewhere, there's Turkmenistan's Door to Hell and where not to find it, some clarification on transubstantiation, and dreams about Mr Blobby.

It's Thursday and that means it's time for more nonsense from the terrible twosome. Luke and Pete are coming in your ears this time around with talk of early memories, including another story about bees, and the worst inventions of all time. Among all that, Luke tells us a delightful tale about old ladies in libraries, and we also get an update from the Dean at Cambridge after Monday's debacle on why Pete apparently didn't get into Peterhouse.After that, there's yet more horrific medical stuff from a currently serving doctor.

Pete's been hobnobbing with yet another celebrity, and then rants and raves about why he thinks he didn't get into Cambridge university (clue: it's not to do with his lack of intelligence); he really is becoming quite obnoxious.A tale of weird coincidence punctuates the It's Been section, and we firmly establish that Barenaked Ladies aren't American, courtesy of a lot of rather angry Canadians.Pilot Neil makes a comeback and is the subject of an angry challenge by another listener. This one could run and run, hopefully not off the runway entirely...If you have an interesting job, a good story to tell or just want to be a part of this, email us! hello@lukeandpeteshow.com*Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

We realise in this episode that we've sailed through Easter and not even mentioned it, so the start of Episode 52 involves us taking the time to go back over last weekend's festivities. After that, there's a trip down memory lane involving Nirvana and Dave Grohl before it's EMAIL TIME, which this week involves, silly string, GI Joe/Action Man and arguably the funniest 'stupidest things you've ever heard' OF ALL TIME.There's time for a quick Mencarta too, so make sure you listen out for that...Tell us, tell us everything: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

Welcome back, LAPSers! It's great to have you back with us, and Happy Monday! This time around, Pete starts you all off with an outrageous admission and then tells us about his recent experiences with Bryan Cranston, star of Breaking Bad. Exciting!There's a quite frankly pathetic story of a night terror involving a video game, although perhaps not one you'd expect and we also revisit the case of the secret vomiter of a few episodes ago. Next up it's tips for saving money at university, before we round everything off with a truly horrendous tale involving insects and human skin.To tell us all your darkest secrets, or maybe just what your favourite video game is, it's: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

Happy Thursday! You've almost made it through another week, and to commemorate such a momentous effort, let Luke and Pete guide you through around half an hour's worth of chat on the transportation of precious cargo on commercial aircraft, a couple of films that Pete saw at least half of, being responsible with passwords and plenty more.Listen out for Pete talking quite a lot about his trousers, too.

We are absolutely delighted to be back in your ears for another week, and we celebrate that fact with an astonishing reveal about another version of Mencarta that exists elsewhere, a truly remarkable story around IVF treatment, another Noel Edmonds and Mr Blobby-related horror story and much more.Elsewhere we hear about possibly the most resourceful Inuit ever, and get a much-overdue update on Luke's new kitchen. Something for everyone, then.To get a missive to us, it's: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Luke and Pete take time to pay their respects to Sir Ken Dodd, Jim Bowen and Stephen Hawking, all of whom sadly passed away recently. Once we've got that out of the way Pete, who is rapidly turning into Alex Jones' heir apparent, finds the time for another rant and we also get some emails on craft ale, the benefit to the economy of a large-scale sporting event, and the terrifying phenomenon of sleep paralysis.Before we chip off there's a Mencarta out of leftfield, so make sure to listen out for that, too.Offers of free lunches, invites to house parties and to give more Japanese lessons to Pete: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Here we go then, back in the habit assessing the fallout of #craftalegate (something for which Peter is showing no contrition at all), learn that Pete paid an old man a decent amount of money to come to his house and teach him Japanese and hear about a weird and actually quite depressing tale of emus and go-karts.There's also Moonwalker, Paul Gascoigne antics and the science behind yawning. Pete also goes a touch off-piste about childbirth too, but we suppose there's nothing truly surprising about that.To bring us gifts: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

After the craft ale ridiculousness last time around Pete stays true to form and gets drunk on his own at home using Japanese liquor of some description. Alongside that we hear of another animal partial to the Bolivian Marching Powder, a windy night in Ireland to say the least, and a plane flight that went on for ages for no real reason that we can ascertain. Oh and one final thing before we go, there's a truly horrific email in here somewhere featuring a man's buttock and so you should probably consider this fair warning.To send an email in about buttocks or otherwise: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Luke's been to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child but is duty bound to #keepthesecrets, and Pete uses this episode as an opportunity to get right up on his soapbox and rant and rave, Alex Jones-style, about the evils of craft ale, much to Luke's chagrin. #neckbeardsSpeaking of Alex Jones, he gets a decent bit of airtime too, here's hoping YouTube don't give us a strike. Not that we care, we're not even on YouTube.Elsewhere there's another twist in the acupuncture-does-it-doesn't-it-work saga, we learn more than we'll ever need to know about toxins, and Pete regales us with yet more of his ailments.To contribute to this madness, bombard us here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
