Disturbing psychological conditions, Disney cruises and the obscenity of billionaires. Variety is the spice of life.

Pete’s been to Paris and it’s making everyone very depressed, and not because of envy. The man is self-admittedly awful at booking things.On an equally cheery note, the guys discuss the limits of their animal-killing capacities, as well as those of train drivers. Also, worming a cat is no joke. Happy Monday everyone.Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Luke and Pete kick off this episode by delighting at the days getting longer. It’ll be spring before you know it, lads.Things get more controversial when Luke has his say about lager consumption alongside a curry (is it really that good of a pairing?) and the guys take a look at the curious case of Veronika the Austrian cow. She may or may not be doing wonders for the reputation of her species’ intelligence. Also, raw milk is definitely still disgusting.Send us your best stories, questions and comments here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Carmageddon II looms large in Pete’s early university memories, but it’s not the reason he had to apologise to campus security. Luke, meanwhile, had to deal with an American-style shared room. The stuff of nightmares nowadays.Elsewhere, the guys discuss the Beckham family drama and wonder precisely how many cakes Mr Tom Cruise is sending out at Christmas.

Luke’s got to come clean about his murky past: the amount of pints and chocolate eclairs he knicked while working at the Student Union. To be fair, at least he wasn’t getting high on his own pork supply like Pete was at Leicester City. Plus: the relentless abundance of political weirdos, tricks of the hotel trade and metal bands fronted by literal children.

After dancing delicately through Luke’s recent toilet trouble for a good ten minutes, we find out that Pete’s been buying radar keys on eBay. Doth the cap fit, n all that.Elsewhere, we rate the last meals of Ivan the Terrible, Hitler and various other horrible men, and we officially dispel the myth of the WWI Christmas Day football match - and we are definitely the first podcast to work that out.

And when does it become a terrine?Elsewhere, Pete needs a new fridge, the lads run the rule over Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl, and there's plenty of other chat besides.

Pete's beef wellington didn't quite go to plan on Christmas Day, due to some promises made by a butcher that simply weren't kept. But did he let that setback deter him? Tune in to find out. Elsewhere, there's some sizable kebab shop chat, Pete has been wrestling with His Majesty's Revenue and Customs again, and the boys hear from a listener who developed food poisoning in one of the most impressive locations on Earth.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Luke and Pete Show! As we build up towards Christmas, the lads talk presents, including a very thoughtful gift Pete has been working on. Ah, bless. Unfortunately he reverts to type fairly shortly after that after his gastric problems come back and he finds himself stranded in London with nowhere to go.Luke and Pete also find time to hear from an American that enjoyed a strange experience upon visiting Camden, and there's one or two carpet anecdotes as well. What more do you need?Subscribe to join us, and email whenever you like: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
How is Pete preparing his turkey for Christmas dinner this year? By sticking it in the freezer, of course. Pray for his guests, particularly when it sounds like the rest of the day's food is going to be cooked in his airfryer.Elsewhere, and as the title suggests, the lads discuss several tales of food poisoning (unrelated to Pete's cooking, it has to be said), there's a good trip down memory lane discussing old video games and, for some reason, Pete attempted to close out the episode by speaking some Welsh. Subscribe to join us, and email whenever you like: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Hosted on Acast.

Pete's been out on the lash again, and you simply will not believe his drunken food of choice. Honestly, you could have a thousand guesses and you'd never get it. In other news this week, Luke is really hitting all the major milestones of middle age by taking up golf, there's some impassioned follow ups from listeners in our great airfryer debate, and the lads also reminisce about time they've spent in Istanbul.

Christmas is coming and so the inevitable Pete Donaldson/Luke Moore airfryer debate simply must rear its ugly head.

One can only speculate at this early stage.We are also blessed this time around with plenty of big toe chat, a mysterious advent calendar-themed email, and some truly excellent travel tips for those attending The O2. As ever, it's a smorgasbord of conversational topics, none of which are important but all of which are in their own way nevertheless absolutely vital.

Welcome back to your all-new edition of The Luke and Pete Show! This time around, the lads start, as all great podcasts do, with chat about the seminal PC game Lemmings 2: The Two Tribes. Was exposure to it as a young man responsible for Luke's anxiety in adulthood? Seriously, it was a *really* stressful game.There's also time to really run the rule over Noel Edmonds and his blatant writing of the Noel's House Party Wikipedia page, the Paul Daniels vehicle Every Second Counts, and plenty of other nonsense besides, including your battery submissions of course.The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it.

Has Christmas started even earlier this year? If so, why? And what's the attraction of adult lego?Just two of the questions that the Luke and the Pete attempt to answer on this episode, the inaugural missive of December. And while we're on the subject of the festive period now the final month of the year is upon us, one of our listeners gets in touch to recommend a Christmas reading of the 9/11 Commision Report, and do you know what, Luke might just give it a bash.The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it.

Only podcast I listen to as soon as it comes out religiously. Both guys are hilarious and both seem like decent blokes. I just hope Petey doesn't have a dark Ellen/James corden side to him. Keep up the good work!

Magnificent stuff. Like having a pub conversation with 2 mates where you’re glad you can’t get a word in.

I'm just off to Dublin zoo with a tea tray to find a hippo, if I get lifted by the cops i might need Pete to testify that bashing a hippo while trying to record it, is part of a valid science experiment
