The Luke and Pete Show

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. And if that doesn't get you excited, nothing will. To tell us about your trousers (and indeed anything else), email us: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com ***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us. Thanks!***  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.

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.

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.  #neckbeards Speaking 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.

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: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.

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. If, like Luke, you need some further information on what he was actually talking about, hit us up: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rejoice! It's Monday and we're back for another half an hour of life-affirming nonsense from all over the world. This time around we fit in Valentine's Day activities, Pete's problems with the Winter Olympics and a truly amazing straw hat-related tale from a day at the cricket. There's also more old animals including one that is cheating, frankly, a brilliant pop hit to encourage people to visit a wonderful town in the East Midlands and yet more stories of school trips gone awry. And Pete's Dad fans can rest easy, as we get a mini-update from that area also. Review us, rate us, tell us what you think on iTunes or wherever you get your pods, and keep us in material: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

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: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Your reviews are important, so please leave us one on iTunes or your podcast provider of choice.

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: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com Leave us a review on iTunes or wherever you get your pods and be in with a chance to become our favourite ever listener!

Your two eponymous antiheroes are back for another episode of LAPS as all the kids are now calling it (pronounced 'LAPS'), and first stop is Pete trying to convince his Dad Stewart to go on holiday with him. After that, they hop across the Atlantic to visit some of the most questionable place names in the US and Canada after the reveal of King of Prussia last week. There's also enough space in the studio to squeeze in an interesting Mencarta. A Mencarta involving hats, dockers and a WHOLE LOAD OF FIGHTING. What more do you want?
