Join Luke Moore and Pete Donaldson for an unplanned half hour every Monday and Thursday as they pull on the threads of the universe, seeing where each fascinating one takes them. From ancient history and modern phenomena to the week's events and everything in between, The Luke and Pete Show is your chance to share in the fun of two men with time on their hands and a good idea of how to waste it.

The Luke and Pete Show

It’s an email special! We’re down to *only* thirty-three pages of unread emails, so let’s dive into the bulging postbag for a rummage around. We’re talking things that make us proud to be British (spoiler: not many), which way to go down a Japanese escalator and how you’d go about eating a McDonald’s nugget every minute for an hour. 

Rest assured, we also recap Pete’s interview technique with Green Day back in the day. Remember, just wear a t-shirt from an obscure punk band. Either that or dress up like a diseased Hobgoblin mascot.

The Nugget Power Hour

Luke and Pete endlessly trudge through snow, hail and the bodies of deceased pets to bring you another slice of precisely nothing. It's the Luke and Pete show, baby! 

We need your Christmas tales, like Christmas pudding needs brandy: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com for tales of festive cheers, beers and rears.

The Pemmican Diaries

Today, the lads unwrap the baffling Christmas tradition of ‘Hide the Pickle’, courtesy of a listener email. But the real showstopper? Luke can barely contain his excitement as he recounts the heroic tale of how he saved Christmas! Then, Donny steps into the spotlight as an unexpected Christmas tree connoisseur.

Elsewhere, Pete shares his love for Skunk Anansie’s Post Orgasmic Chill—and his equally passionate hatred for the weatherman behind the Children in Need 24-Hour Drumathon. And in true Luke fashion, he’s having second thoughts about joining fight club, all because of the “first night, first fight” rule. Is his fear justified? You decide!

Luke saves Christmas!

After inadvertently being poisoned by Pete, Luke finds the time to update us on his recent quest to deliver Christmas gifts to the bloke who owned his house. It has taken a depressingly predictable turn. 

James McCartney also continues to astound - you’re a grown man, James - and we get more details on the Nugget Power Hour. Plus, we try to ensure this week’s battery selection has a festive flavour.

A sad epilogue to Luke’s festive tale

Luke’s been drooling all over himself on the train up to some important meetings - nice. Speaking of drooling (stay with us), Pete has some truly lovely news to share… 

We also get to the very bottom of the TikTok algorithm, continue to snoop on listeners’ LinkedIn profiles and take some fish to be fried.

The best year of your life

Happy Boxing Day! Hope you and yours are having a smashing festive week - certainly more than a listener who emailed in with a shudderingly cringe Christmas proposal story…

We then celebrate Christmas in the only way we know how: by charting the bizarre history of Lads’ mags and sifting through some disappointing battery submissions.

Lads mags in particular

Today, the lads put the piss in precipice as they bid farewell to 2024!

Pete shares the tale of throwing his shoulder out while shadowboxing to impress the wife he has access to, while Luke issues an important year-end reminder: never trust a man selling both a car battery and a deli block of cheese.

Plus, listener emails bring plenty of laughs, including one poor soul’s cold shower encounter featuring horse-related podcast banter and an awkward run-in with their head of department. And just when you think the chaos couldn’t get any stranger, the lads tackle a truly bizarre topic: could Brussels really be hiding a dark secret as a holiday destination for paedophiles?

Expect unfiltered nonsense, unexpected detours, and plenty of 2024 nostalgia.

Goodbye 2024!

Thanks to a LAPS in judgement regarding the use of protection spells, both Pete and Luke were cursed by the lurgy witch over Christmas, which means they couldn't record the final episode of 2024.

Never fear, they're starting a brand new year with some great brand new stories (that MI6 agent who zipped himself into a sports bag in a bath in Pimlico).

Hello@LukeandPeteShow.com if you've had a memorable new year - let us know!

Hello 2025!

This week, Donny shares how his infamous “C*** mug” kept making surprise appearances during adoption meetings, leading to a frantic mug switcheroo every time it landed in the wrong hands. Of course, this sparks a full-on mug-off: Who’s got the best collection? Does Luke have a serious mug hoarding problem? And why does tea taste better from a stolen mug?

The lads then turn their attention to the gentrification of Margate, posing the question: is it a seaside gem or... just a sh*thole?

Plus, Pete reflects on the whirlwind of heartfelt congratulations (and a few dubious comments) he’s received about his family’s adoption journey…thankfully, the adoption council wasn’t made up of you lot!

If you've been to Margate and loved it or hated it, we want to know why! Email us at Hello@LukeandPeteShow.com

Mug Wars

Today, Pete can’t stop raving about WD40, while Luke ponders how parenting life has crushed his spontaneity. Then, the lads debate nap time efficiency, the dread of “circling back in the new year,” and whether cash really is king...should we really be handing a stack of cash straight to the doctor?

Elsewhere, Pete pitches "Lukey in Lagos", a foolproof idea for Luke to become a YouTube sensation, while Luke debates the right approach to plane food — spoiler: just say no. Plus, the lads have a Beatles impression-off, and a much needed follow up to the Grimsby fish shop saga.

Lukey in Lagos

What makes someone believe in a conspiracy theory? Luke and Pete try to get to the bottom of that increasingly important question on today’s show.

We then read your emails, which include another great example of someone’s job determining their career and a story from a listener who, like Luke, has had to battle with a neighbour who was trying to reserve their own parking space.
