Episode 84: Do you keep those spider monkeys in a van?

Why is Sir Paul McCartney so odd? And, while we're at it, why is Ringo Starr also so odd? Any advice greatly appreciated. This time around, we break bread over the differences between the Japanese and Korean languages, marvel at possibly the worst job interview experience of all time, hear a Mencarta, and find out that, in the 70s, people that used to go door-to-door selling spider monkeys. Yes, really.To tell us of your worst ever job interview experiences, or anything else for that matter: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 83: Careful of the laburnum

We start this episode as every podcast should begin - with Tom Jones impressions. After that we keep up the music theme by finding out that Pete has been hobnobbing with Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos and bonding with him over Graceland.Once we finally get past the name-drop section of the show there's time for an email from Brunei, some more weird baby names, a discussion about LiveJasmine, some more Jurassic Park chat and much, much more courtesy of you, the lovely listener.

Episode 82: Next stop, Hither Green!

Tune in this time around for Luke and Pete reminiscing about puncture repair kits, before marvelling at how strange and unreliable the passing of time and capturing of memories can be. Don't worry though, we get on to much more firm and familiar ground shortly after that as Pete waxes lyrical about how he hates leg day at the gym.What's more, you beautiful listeners step up to the plate with tales of Don King, ejecting from a jet in the middle of a thunderstorm, and much, much more.

Episode 81: The It's Been World Record

We start today's proceedings by talking about a one hour documentary on Japanese trains, including men fashioning a light fitting 'the old fashioned way', whatever that means. It's not as boring as it sounds though, and before you know it we've moved on to camel urine anyway, so that's a plus.Elsewhere on your all-new episode of The Luke and Pete Show, there's more sodium-based tom foolery, actors that didn't act more than once and a big end-of-show finale as Pete attempts a physical and mental feat that any sane man wouldn't even consider...To contribute: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 80: Fast food rigidity

We open proceedings this time around with a tale about a stork that ended up costing a charity a £2000 phone bill, and things get slowly more bizarre from there.The two main takeaways are, well, er, takeaways and names it is absolutely impossible to call a baby in 2018. We round this entire derring-do off with a good look at Jackass-inspired injuries and how they're not particularly conducive to enjoying yourself at a music festival.

Episode 79: Johnny Eggs

We think it's episode 79, but we're not sure, and Pete is still sunburnt. It's his own fault. It's sent him a bit mad, and one minute we're discussing new show ideas, and the next we're talking about bringing a different animal into the studio every week. Heady stuff.On today's show we solve the great Cadbury's discontinued chocolate bar riddle, find out about eggs that haven't had a shell formed around them, waste pipes, Two Fat Ladies, and a horrible shit who almost blew up his entire school. It wasn't big, but it was actually quite clever in a way.Participate: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 78: Fly away Peter, fly away Paul

Straight off the bat, The Pete is accusing The Luke of wearing Bermuda shorts, an accusation that shouldn't be taking lightly. After that we hear of Peter Crouch and a kids' illusion that confuses The Pete to this day.There's time for actors that have appeared in one movie and then never again, the pleasing sound of things hitting bald mens' heads, and another love letter to Anthony Bourdain. And make sure you stick around for a Pete Donaldson special story about a blocked drain and a shower curtain. You *will not* regret it.Got a tall tale? Or even a moderately short one?

Episode 77: Candy cigarettes and camel urine

The Pete is back from working the Isle of Wight Festival and is sunburnt. He's also sporting a rather snazzy Transformers tattoo. And, having managed to perform a bungee jump and survive it with both retinas intact, he's also in a chipper mood.He and The Luke discuss more weird sports team names, find out about a 19th century beer flood, hear of a school brawl involving over 100 people and an irate PE teacher, and discover some fart-based embarrassment. All in all, a pretty packed 35 minutes or so.

Episode 76: Chaos on the central line

Highlander actor Christopher Lambert is apparently almost blind. Did you know that? Why would you, eh? Luke certainly didn't, not until Pete told him. Yes, the boys are back and they're talking yet more nonsense, which let's face it is the very thing they do best.There's music chat, including Neil Young, Van Morrison and Pete's baes The Darkness. Did you know he almost joined their five-a-side team once?Elsewhere, plenty of your anecdotes including a near-dust up on the London Underground's central line, and much, much more.To tell us about public transport and whatever else you fancy: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 75: How's your health?

Moore and Donaldson get back in their easy chairs, light a pipe each and start ruminating on the world around them once more, in episode 75 of your Luke and Pete Show.This time around there is time to talk about physical health, leading on to the fact that Pete has a charity bungee jump lined up. In a somewhat related matter, chat progresses to American candy, including Pete's favourites and a terrible memory he has of having a row in M+Ms World with an ex-girlfriend.And, before they nick off again, they squeeze in plenty of your emails - including badly edited movies, weird sports team names and lots more.

Episode 74: Excuse me, is that my farting jar?

As the title suggests, in episode 74 we hear about one of the more bizarre habits adopted by people in England in the 17th century. But before that there's plenty to get our teeth into, including a new jingle or two, a Mencarta entry for the ages and a man having a chip implanted into his hand with mixed results.There's also plenty more where that came from - we revisit sex education classes, Kathy Burke, and lots more.Let's be having you: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 73: Father censorship

The chaps are back, and on your particularly chaotic latest edition of The Luke and Pete Show, we have a truly eclectic range of topics to discuss. There's Fathers4Justice, more Anthony Bourdain chat, craft ale, more intellectual property theft from our listeners, and a revisiting of the white-hot National Treasures debate.And if that wasn't enough, we also find time to chat about two of the UK's specialist subjects: anxiety and uncool musicians.

Episode 72: The dangers of Thunder Mountain

Rejoice, because The Luke and The Pete are back in their hotseats and shooting the proverbial once again. This time around there's the great 'compressed air v jet fuel' debate, more flat earth nonsense and a an honourable mention for the late Anthony Bourdain.Elsewhere, your emails include a horrific tale about a ride at Disneyland Paris gone wrong, a boy wetting himself on stage at school, and much, much more. To serenade us: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 71: The fine line between a life hack and actual fraud

We're back. Pete's brought along a new jingle or two and Luke has brought along himself. This time around, there's a bit of film chat (Alex Garland's Annihilation and Woody Harrelson's Lost in London Live), a kid that keeps fainting (not Luke or Pete), and today's musical offering is brought to you by Geri Halliwell and the Wu Tang Clan (separately).Meanwhile, a listener gets in touch to offer a 90s life hack that is basically theft, and there's lots more besides.To send us your suggestions for life hacks, or anything else for that matter, it's [email protected].

Episode 70: The class of '99

As promised, this episode starts with Pete taking a science quiz, with actually quite impressive results, there’s talk of tattoos and the role they now play in society, and we learn actually pretty quickly that Pete doesn’t know the story of a really well known film that won three Oscars. For your part dear listener, you excel yourselves yet again with your tales of intellectual property theft, and what’s more, you don’t even seem that sorry. Oh and one final thing, be kind to your knees.

Episode 69: Straight-laced parents

Greetings to you, beloved Luke and Pete Show community! We’re back for our 69th edition of this nonsense, and this time around The Luke and The Pete discuss Freddie Mercury again, what The Pete got up to at the British wrestling earlier in the week (spoiler: being overdressed and drinking wine, mainly), there’s an elongated chat about National Treasures, and we learn more about Pete’s teenage punk band, One Eyed Willy. In addition to this, we uncover a truly disturbing story about a previously hidden VHS porn tape.

Episode 68: A baby on the dashboard

Draw up the drawbridge and draw down the blinds! We're back! Pete's seen Solo and quite liked it, and on the subject of movies we also take the time to talk a bit about the new Freddie Mercury biopic which is hitting cinemas soon. Still on a theme, there's also a departure over to Will Smith and how he nabbed the Fresh Prince gig.When it comes to your contributions, dear listeners, you excel yourselves yet again with tales of potentially the worst driver ever, as well as an extremely welcome missive from Medellin in Colombia.

Episode 67: A voice on a stick

On this episode of your all-new The Luke and Pete Show, we take time out to imagine what it would be like if The Pete wasn't 'a voice on a stick' but a BT engineer, sent out to make internet happen in your abode. Predictably, results are 'mixed'.After that, chat rapidly progresses into talk of Brian Blessed, what it takes to become a national treasure and presenters who in real life are shits, and of course plenty of stories from The Luke and Pete Show Community, including misbehaviour at school, the accidental and tragic death of a cat, and a dreadfully-timed erection.For all your usual chitter-chatter, it's [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 66: Do not exit your vehicle

School stories aplenty this time around as the great and good of The Luke and Pete Show community deliver us some of their most cringeworthy tales, we try to separate art from the artist, and there's an opportunity to imagine a young Pete gaily skipping through a horse's field on the way to school every morning.And if that wasn't enough, we talk gorillas, farting (again), and possibly the worst parenting story of the year, involving a car, a toddler and a coalition of cheetahs.

When is a dog not a dog? That's a burning question we answer early doors on episode 65 of The Luke and Pete Show, before Pete waxes lyrical about birthdays, birthday parties and the fascinating world of speedrunning of video games.The contributions from you the dear listeners this week extend to unkillable men, embarrassing farts and much, much more.

Episode 64: The prodigal son returns (to Hartlepool)

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: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 63: Abducted by Concorde

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.

Episode 62: Little Pipples Donaldson

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.

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.

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.

Episode 56: Duncan Bannatyne and his favourite eggs

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: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

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.

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: [email protected]***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 47: An emu should not be living there, it's not right

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: [email protected] ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 46: What's happened to that donkey?

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: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Episode 45: Neckbeards and their craft ale, they make me sick

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: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Episode 44: Undercover police officers, public toilets, and sheep

When you're an experienced police officer, it probably takes a lot to shock you, and you could easily be seduced into thinking that you've seen it all. But, according to one of our listeners, his policeman pal got a lot more than he bargained for one day when following a suspected drug dealer. Listen in to hear the full story...Elsewhere, we find out about how sheep manage to survive just on grass and there's, of course, another trip back to the now-probably-world-famous Stubbington Study Centre. You just cannot keep that place out of the headlines.There's loads more besides and if you want to contribute yourself, email us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Episode 43: Poison/venom, Guns n Roses, and the worst Mother's Day present ever

Much like Thin Lizzy sang, the boys are indeed back in town and this time they're ruminating on the difference between poison and venom - the toxins, not the 80s bands. Two 80s bands they *are* talking about however, are Guns n Roses and Metallica, so stick around for that.There's also time to listen to a truly incredible email who bought his mother the *worst* present for Mother's Day that it's possible to imagine and Pete takes it even further into the gutter after that because, well, Pete is as Pete does. What is there left to say?To be a part of this crazy rollercoaster, it's: [email protected] Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 42: Childhood fights, boys called Paul and our very own drinking game

Did you ever get into a fight as a child? Perhaps you got into more than one. Perhaps you did so with a boy called Paul. Luke did, and he can't be the only one.Elsewhere, a future hall-of-fame listener informs us of a Luke and Pete Show drinking game that he's developed with his pals, inclusive of a PDF with pretty colours explaining how the whole thing works and we also find time for a truly remarkable email about the burial of a cat.Tell us about your childhood fighting escapades or your deeply-held pacifism here: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Episode 41: How to cook the perfect steak, and the greatest bear of all time

Luke opens proceedings on how he likes to cook a steak, much to Pete Donaldson's chagrin and scepticism, before the boys get through *yet another* email about Stubbington Study Centre which almost beggars belief. It feels like the entire south of England has visited there at one time or another.After lots more of the usual dicking around, we finish the whole foul jamboree with possibly the greatest Mencarta entry in history, all centred around a bear who stumbled upon a pretty sweet find back in the 1980s.Send us your nonsense: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Episode 40: Black Panther, video games and Pete getting annoyed about gifs

Luke's been to see Black Panther (spoiler: he enjoyed it), we hear another Stubbington Study Centre story which is even more bloody exciting than the last one, some amazing new batteries enter the game and, as ever, Pete is able to squeeze in some chat about video games.Elsewhere the boy Donaldo almost has a full on meltdown on the subject of gifs.

Episode 38: Part vampire, part maths teacher

Happy Thursday! We're delighted to be in your ears towards the end of the week for the first time. It feels great. This time around: Japanese trains and the perverts within them, Pete still has a hard time coming to terms with the age of some animals which manifests itself in the form of a truly horrific anecdote about tortoises, and some of your lovely emails of course.Thinking about it, have we ever made an episode that *doesn't* feature a truly horrific anecdote from Pete? Probably not.Get your thoughts to us as soon as humanly possible: [email protected] reviews are important, so please leave us one on iTunes or your podcast provider of choice. Also, tell your pals!

Episode 37: A brave new world

The first of a new-look, twice a week Luke and Pete Show muscles into territory as diverse as efficient hydration (Luke), too-tight trousers (Pete, obviously), hemp trousers (Pete again, obviously) and the world's oldest animals. A note of caution, the world's oldest animals section blows Pete's mind to bits and it may well do the same to you. Consider that a warning.There's also more than enough time to hear from a listener who got himself into a spot of bother in a hotel in Krakow with hilarious consequences, so don't miss that. Tell us about your hotel or old animal-related problems and issues here: [email protected] us a review on iTunes or wherever you get your pods and be in with a chance to become our favourite ever listener!
