  • Too Stinky for Press-Ganging

    33:18|
    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.Send us your latest stories, questions and comments here: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com.

  • MDMA on a Desert Island

    33:18|
    GB News continues to evade toothless regulatory bodies and Pete’s dad continues to tune in. It turns out Luke’s met plenty of the presenters, many of whom are, unsurprisingly, “characters”.Elsewhere, a dinghy-based story from Luke gives way to a discussion about desert islands, both real and imagined.
