The streets are paved with chocolate! Didn’t you know? That's what Pete thinks anyway. Listen in to see how he tries to explain this one...Elsewhere, we discuss the possibility that UFOs are flying over America and – shockingly – Luke appears to be sympathetic towards a group of so-called ‘conspiracy theorists’.

Read-ing festival
Pete’s been on Facebook Marketplace again… What he’s found is predictably strange and, of course, unnecessarily explicit.Once we’ve recovered from that, we then host our very own email read-out festival headlined by petrol pumps, an atomic wedgie gone wrong and Tamagotchis. It’s a beautiful lineup!What to be on the lineup for our next festival? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow. Hosted on Acast.

Who burnt toast?
Luke starts the show with the sad news that his toaster has finally broken after nine years of service.Amazingly, this foreshadows what turns out to be a very dramatic and abrupt ending to today’s show. Elsewhere, we hear 2023 predictions from journalists writing in 1923 and we’re not kidding when we say some of them are INSANE! Anyone for a kidney cosy?What are your predictions for 3033?

School of Boss
Luke's redecorating his house. Should he make wallpaper out of screenshots of his best tweets?

Don’t blame the atomic wedgie
What do you eat at the cinema? Popcorn? Nachos? Maybe a hot dog? Well, if you’re Pete Donaldson you eat a fish sandwich… of course!As well as discovering that on today’s show, we also call out the news outlet that tried to claim the atomic wedgie was the cause of a terrible crime. Luke then relives his youth as he teaches Pete all about infamous playground punishments.What playground punishments existed at your school?

Can we please have our money back?
In some classically poor Luke and Pete Show admin, Luke has a gift for Pete on today's show that he was due to give him 2 months ago.In similarly poor levels of admin, Pete gets a takeaway delivered to him in the middle of today’s recording and an anonymous listener gets in touch to tell us that they worked for a delivery company that accidentally managed to lose half a million quid. Oh dear…Do you have your own story for the consumer advice daddies? Email: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on Twitter or Instagram: @lukeandpeteshow Hosted on Acast.

Fishmongers were better in the 90s
Do you remember when everyone knew each other’s blood type and bin men collected your rubbish every day? Life was better in the 90s!Elsewhere on today’s show, Pete takes a break from remembering the good old days to get erotic in the battery section and we discuss the “King of Billingsgate” aka Britain’s most famous fishmonger. But seriously, bin men used to cook you breakfast every single morning…What are you nostalgic about?
