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.Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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.Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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.

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?Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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, 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.Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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’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: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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.

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.Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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.

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.

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.Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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, it’s an email special, and the lads dive right in.

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?

Pete's gone on a pilgrimage to savour a McRib but is stopped in his tracks by a man who not only calls him an "old boy" but invites him to join his classic car club. Pete’s less than chuffed…meanwhile, the wife he has access to finds it hilarious. Elsewhere, the lads tackle a “kindness gone wrong” moment at the corner shop, breaking down the awkwardness of British politeness after a listener generously offers to cover a stranger’s chocolate bar - only for the bloke to cheekily upgrade his freebie with some chewing gum.Also on the docket: Luke’s rant about politicians cosplaying as “normal people,” and Pete’s ambitious plan to 3D-print a hip for his mum.

This episode was supposed to be an email special but Pete got so animated about the idea of rounding up at the checkout when shopping that your missives had to take something of a backseat. When the boys did finally get to your emails, they read out messages from White Rock, British Columbia, Wisconsin *and* California including a message from someone who has just accidentally stolen some chicken goujons.

Is Pete a frolicker? Why is he so obsessed with leaves? And are these things related to why he never pays his tax on time? Elsewhere the lads discuss foods that are acceptable to eat in the mornings and wonder if Donny could 3D print a gigantic donut boy, in parts, to send to someone as a threat.And, just before they go, there's time to run the rule over your latest battery submissions, and assess why baby owls always sleep face down...

Pete has finally joined the ranks of 3D printing enthusiasts, but not without a bizarre encounter with a sketchy seller. While Luke assumes Pete’s got practical plans for car parts, Donny has his heart set on printing one thing: a massive owl. Naturally.Elsewhere, the lads toy with the idea of becoming Deliveroo drivers to fund even weirder projects, and a listener shares his post-Hurricane Helene run-in with a stark-naked neighbour.Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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’s appalled to hear Donny uses Vinted and even more disgusted to hear he uses an InPost locker instead of getting the goods delivered to his house, like a real adult…Elsewhere, Luke gives his review of Better Call Saul and Pete boasts about his bath TV, which Luke just can’t wrap his head around!Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com 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.
