Bad Knees and a Hosepipe Ban
Buckle up, everyone, it’s learning time and we’re getting to the bottom of some mysteries. Why don’t animals have green fur? Why does Luke respect Pete as a broadcaster? You’re about to find out the answers to both. Plus, Luke details his heated phone call to Thames Water, Pete’s knees are shot to bits and we have a new history book of the week.

Don’t Have a Whinge, Poindexter
It’s a tech-heavy one today. Luke’s suckling on the teet of Apple’s Tim Cook, Pete’s bought yet another esoteric Chinese phone and together the guys have devised a breakthrough sleep-monitoring application. Stop moaning, user, you’ve had a great night’s kip. Elsewhere on yet another toasty Monday show: Pete’s been flouting the no-eating laws of the studio, Luke’s knackered from throwing his son about and robots have started beating each other up for human’s enjoyment.

Look at My Diseases
Luke reckons Jude Bellingham’s handsomeness is going underreported, Pete’s got iTunes on the brain and Mitch McConnell is having to prove he’s still alive. And that’s just the first five minutes of today’s show. Elsewhere, Luke’s just watched some good vox pops and Pete has a disgusting idea for a get-rich-quick scheme. Finally, we’ve got listener correspondence concerning batteries, melons and (potentially false) childhood memories.

The Pubsman Litmus Test
Top five Daves: go. Once that’s squared away, Luke and Pete get down to the business of boozer etiquette and methodologies for sorting the true pubsmen from the pretenders. Also on offer today: late-night football watching habits, the tedium of Steven Bartlett and a welcome return to the subject of Flat Earthers and the tangled web that is their belief system.

Doggerland and Diggerland
Prompted by the subject of air fryers, Luke reflects on the tension between his working-class and middle-class self and encourages Pete to do the same. Naturally, this leads to some chat about prom cars (and prom tractors). Plus, we return to the subject of Britain past and present to discuss Doggerland, Michael Hesseltine and the Spice Girls.

The Asthma Hour
Pete’s use of an elliptical to ease his asthma has got Luke considering a treadmill purchase. Staying on the health train, Luke confesses that while he eschews intensely caffeinated products he’s got no problem putting away copious amounts of Jaffa Cakes chocolate digestives. Also on today’s show: Pete has a food fad prediction, Steven Barlett goes off the deep end and the Bayeux tapestry is on its way to England.

The Unkillable Soldier
On another sweltering day in the UK, Luke and Pete’s weather and air conditioning chat prompts a wider discussion about two-tier systems for the have and have-nots in society more generally, plus some tales of burglary. Elsewhere, we return to the subject of war to learn about the most bonkers soldier ever and American Civil War pensions. Finally, it’s listener correspondence time once again. Pete’s been put in an improved barrel, and ants are being destroyed in vast quantities. Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

An Aristocratic George Bush
After a quick Mick Jagger impression, Pete struggles to remember the name of 2026’s 'it girl' and Luke is forced to come to terms with the fact that cultural life is passing him by. He hasn’t even heard of the meme featured on Pete’s new T-shirt. Also on today’s show: lookalikes, the case for tribute acts and a big promise made to the Flat Earthers.

Two Hours Late for the War
Pete finds himself outnumbered in his fight against the accusation that he’s a point-scorer and Luke takes the opportunity to explain his lateness to the second Football Ramble World Cup Watch Party. Conversation then turns (inevitably) to smelly capsule hotels and submarine warfare. Finally, it’s time for a battery offering, an email about advanced tyre technology and news of an Australian mouse plague.

Claude's Awful Drawing
Luke recently enlisted Anthropic’s Claude to draw him a picture and the result was truly awful. He freely admits he’s a man out of time and doesn’t know how to use this stuff. Remaining on a similar path, it’s time for a chat about the miserable phenomenon of AI-generated music and “art” more generally.

An Inedible Melon
Luke’s advising Pete to proceed with caution vis à vis chlorinating his own paddling pool, but Mr Donaldson insists it’s all under control. It’s the rubble and cement-based tasks you have to worry about. In other news, Luke’s attempt to support the local produce market left him sorely disappointed and Pete may well have fallen victim to a Del Boy style scam over some posh honey. Plus, we hear all about the first Football Ramble World Cup Watch Party from the perspective of the man in the papier-mâché Richard Keys head.

Richard Keys: The Musical
Pete’s been working on a number for a musical about the life and times of Richard Keys, probably not coming to a theatre near you any time soon. But don’t be disheartened, because today’s episode provides some big questions to entertain and delight. Why don’t little boys wear barrels anymore? Can clogs actually be comfortable? Is being 45 minutes late better than being 5 minutes late? Finally, we’re back on conspiracy theories and this time there’s a graph to help us make sense of things.

Knob Out All Day
At the onsen, it is customary to walk around with your old lad out. Pete, on his recent trip to Japan, followed said custom. On an entirely different note, we return to the subject of bad podcasting, which naturally leads to a chat about Chekhov’s gun and Occam’s razor. Finally, we learn more about Luke and Pete's respective experiences with road rage, plus some listener correspondence.

You Believe in the Moon?
Pete’s come down with a wicked case of World Cup Fever, exacerbated by the rediscovery of his ceremonial Kevin Keegan rug that will surely have a part to play in this year’s tournament. Just keep it away from electronics. Luke, meanwhile, has been to see Boyzone deliver two hours of consummate professionalism at the Emirates. Also present was Brian McFadden who, as Pete knows first-hand, is an excellent surrogate father. Elsewhere on today’s show: how to manage conspiracy theorists, a look at the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and yet more tales from the tip.

Wall-to-Wall Muck
Normal people are being price-gouged for paddling pools while conspiracy theorists insist that sun cream is population control. Summer is well and truly here. Meanwhile, the White House is tweeting about the anniversary of a gorilla’s untimely death and appears to be attaching itself to obscure Scottish electronic music. It begs the question: do right-wingers understand art? After that debate, it’s time for emails. No, we are NOT off to Mars.

The S.O.B. Show
Ok you sonuvab***h, it’s time for half an hour of nonsense. Pete’s bringing tripe, Panera Bread and salty butter to the table. And, in exciting news, Luke’s been in Pete’s neck of the woods to play some golf with a certain Big Man. The course’s proximity to Southend airport prompts some aviation chat.

Big Screens and Good Beer
The Football Ramble World Cup Watch Parties rapidly approach and there’s a lot to be excited about, not least access to toilets and cold pints of My Fizzy Aunt. Elsewhere on today’s episode, discussion of the World’s Most Sensitive Man-Baby and the attempts on his life, more Donaldson lookalikes, and the effects of fentanyl.

Not an AI-generated Podcast
Luke’s been to a conference and has discovered that there are companies producing thousands of 100% AI-generated podcast episodes each and every week. It’s the Wild West out there. But not here. The robots can never replace Mr Moore and Mr Donaldson. Also on the agenda this fine Monday morning: tales from the tip and the Facebook algorithm’s love for a certain British gangster film.

Dreadful Far-right Music
On today’s episode, Luke and Pete get into the weeds of the British far-right and discuss the bizarrely disparate causes being represented at Tommy Robinson’s marches and the appalling standard of music on offer for his followers. There’s also a couple of items of listener correspondence to attend to. First trains, then haunted dolls. Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

Too Stinky for Press-Ganging
Luke’s been on the health supplements and Pete’s feeling gassy on account of his mānuka honey and apple cider vinegar consumption. Maybe that’s why he reckons his stink would save him from nineteenth-century naval press-ganging. Elsewhere, conversation turns to Luke’s new house and the adjustments needed, but not before Pete shares a truly horrendous nugget of information (?) about the bums of terrorists.
