Whale explosions
Welcome back to The Luke and Pete Show where two grown men who used to sit inside talking to each other about the mundanities of life have been forced, due to the lockdown, to sit inside and talk to each other about the mundanities of life.This time around, we hear of a listener who thought he was going to die, another listener who genuinely thought he had died, and then a handful of whales that were, in fact, unequivocally dead. There's also fake news, 5G, and the world's slowest work canteen.Don't miss it, and make sure you contribute yourself, by emailing us here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please rate and review us on Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.

Spying on Tony Blackburn
Hello and a very happy Monday to you all! On today's episode of The Luke and Pete Show, our two eponymous antiheroes discuss the films of John Hughes, facial hair (or lack of it), and Pete tells us a story of a man who made a clay guitar. Elsewhere there's the social impact of a certain swear word, the time Pete popped an entire bottle of champagne to himself before going to bed because he felt light-headed, and finally we hear a truly chilling tale involving an elaborate CCTV set up and Tony Blackburn. Don't worry, it's not what you think. There's the best of your stories too, so stick around for those and to get involved yourself it's hello@lukeandpeteshow.com!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or your preferred podcast provider.

You do the meth
As promised on Monday's episode, today we share with you an adorable twitter account run by a security guard at a cowboy museum. Check it out now, before things inevitably go south. We also deliver our verdict on the hit Netflix series Tiger King, and wonder how on Earth anyone could have predicted a combination of methamphetamine and wild animals would be so explosive.Elsewhere there's a man making essentially the same mistake twice trying to impress a girl, there's talk of the most handsome man in Japan and we field a glasses-related dilemma.We love you.

A tennis sock full of Chicken McNuggets
Happy Monday! It's another day under lockdown, another day in the corps, and what could be better than listening to the latest missive from two degenerate bedroom dwellers like Luke and Pete? This time around, the show covers the following: the role of socks in porn, the prevalence of Dadsapp chats and their content (including key jpeg compression information), classic sitcoms, the three golden rules of sitting around your house, and we hear from another man who's spent time in a beer bath.To get in touch, it's: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

A doomsday prepper in a digital furnace
Happy Thursday! Another day in paradise/lockdown. As the isolation starts to take its toll, Pete spends a lot of this show talking about cables and USB devices from within his tiny recording box. In a new world order where electronics are the currency, would Pete be king?The boys also run the rule over Gerard Butler, the perils of the sofa industry, a debate around the lending of money one night in Berlin, and finally, we hear a frankly ridiculous story about one of our listeners having a tete-a-tete with an angry sheep.Let us know how you've tried to impress a boy/girl: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Deafened by an oil drum
Pete is back from his latest overseas sojourn and, let's be fair, he's walked right into the middle of an absolute shitshow. Soho is deserted, save for a few blokes wandering around taking photos of the deserted streets, and poor old Luke doesn't know when he's going to get to see his pal again next!But, nevertheless, we press on regardless. Today, there's chat about online dates, a listener in Japan has found money on the floor, and a drunken couple have taken a bath in some beer. There's loads more besides, including Naked Gun, video games and stupid things we've done to impress girls.To get involved: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

A female voice
In the absence of Pete, Luke is joined by Laura Kirk of Stakhanov's Revisiting to discuss some tales in the life of Florida Man, why she likes going to the cinema alone and just what it's like living with an Andrew Flintoff obsession.We also hear from some more listeners whose drunken shortcuts have gone awry, try to understand why cryptic crosswords are so hard and discover an entirely new type of beer situation that will probably leave you with a sore throat.To get in touch, it's: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com, or @lukeandpeteshow on Twitter***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
