Episode 135: Chuckypigs, or chiggywigs?
Welcome to your all new episode of The Luke and Pete Show, it's even more zeitgeisty than usual! That means we've got Prince Phillip doing his 'thing', Prince Mick Fleetwood doing *his* thing, and Prince Pete Donaldson doing *his* thing in Istanbul last weekend. Insatiable rascals, the lot of 'em.Elsewhere, there's woodlice and the frankly remarkable names we have for them here in the UK, someone who broke his ankle while listening to us (Attn: lawyers, we are *not* liable), and a tribute to Buzz Aldrin who turned 89 yesterday and has a decent claim to being the best human being on the planet. Happy Birthday, Buzz!Hit us up: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 134: Tattoos, death, and a Lukealike
Hello everyone. Nice to see you. Thanks for popping back in. You've come to the right place for Pete's obsession with crap technology, information on the most popular day of the year to get a divorce (it's in January, unsurprisingly), and individuals' power of recall over their own tattoos.In addition to this, we recite a truly fascinating tale of a young man working as an ice cream salesman for a summer that includes a deserted warehouse and a holdall full of cash. It's unmissable.We need to hear from you, so don't be shy.

Episode 133: Foaming hell
This time around on *your* Luke and Pete Show, Pete's been interviewing Steve Coogan about his new movie Stan and Ollie, and we quickly move things on to Quentin Tarantino, and then, separately, some breaking news about the 1900 Great Plague of Glasgow. You know us, ear to the ground.We also hear from a listener that embarked upon work experience at Loaded magazine with hilarious consequences and how, in one of the only occasions Pete did a full day's honest work, he covered someone in foam.

Episode 132: Do it all on expenses
Welcome back to The Luke and Pete Show! It's Thursday, and so it's very nearly the weekend. Allow us to help you get there with another half an hour of nonsense, this time around including the busting of an urban myth or two, a strangely supportive attitude towards lad mags of the 90s, and obviously then Pete veers into chat about masturbation. We apologise in advance.Elsewhere there's a bit on The Inbetweeners, and then someone gets in touch to talk about stealing from vending machines.Tell what you want to tell us: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Episode 127: A nut without the sack
What better way to usher in Christmas than with plenty of chat about dead people that have dedicated their bodies to science? That's right, Pete has been to the Body Worlds exhibition, brainchild of the controversial Dr Gunther von Hagens. It's not for the squeamish.In other more traditional fare, we discuss Christmas traditions, including Pete spending quite a depressing amount of Christmas Day alone (boo hoo), followed by near-death experiences, and finally crop circles with one of the 'world's leading experts'.Have a very Merry Christmas!
