The Luke and Pete Show

Algorithm Busters

The lads start today's show by talking about AI girlfriends before having a good old chinwag about large language models (lady, lady, m'lady). After that, attention turns to where all the Billy Liars have gone - they used to be stalwarts in the local pub but have they vanished onto whatsapp groups instead?


There's also time for battery submissions, the nature of memory, and a bit of World War II chat into the bargain. Don't miss it! Subscribe now!

    Welcome back to your all-new edition of The Luke and Pete Show! This time around, the lads start, as all great podcasts do, with chat about the seminal PC game Lemmings 2: The Two Tribes. Was exposure to it as a young man responsible for Luke's anxiety in adulthood? Seriously, it was a *really* stressful game.There's also time to really run the rule over Noel Edmonds and his blatant writing of the Noel's House Party Wikipedia page, the Paul Daniels vehicle Every Second Counts, and plenty of other nonsense besides, including your battery submissions of course.The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it.

    Has Christmas started even earlier this year? If so, why?

And while we're on the subject of the festive period now the final month of the year is upon us, one of our listeners gets in touch to recommend a Christmas reading of the 9/11 Commision Report, and do you know what, Luke might just give it a bash.The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it.

  • On The Lash in Leicester

    31:39|
    Yes indeed, as the title suggests, Peter has been to the historic city of Leicester, home of his alma mater the iconic De Montfort University, to have a legendary night on the sauce with some old pals. "But where did he go? What hostelries did he patronise?" we hear you ask! Er, it was basically just O'Neill's. Did he have a brilliant time though? Tune in to find out.Elsewhere, the lads marvel at the terminology and behaviour of self-described Pick Up Artists, there's incredulity at the range of spirits available to purchase in Aldi, and Battery Robot of course pops in to say hello and get a feed.The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it.

  • Toilet Plates

    28:56|
    What has Pete been up to this week? Now there's a question to strike fear into the heart of men, but worry not! Because the answer basically extends to him cleaning some windows, going to see some stand up comedy for charity and typing some quite unusual things inton ChatGPT.Also on today's episode, the lads also talk about the dot com boom, run the rule over their favourite type of labourer bigger boys, and then hear from a listener who's family member has been doing some truly demented things with food leftovers.The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it.

    30:19|
    Pete tells Luke about his time volunteering on hospital radio before revealing that he was never given a slot on his university's radio station Demon FM ("music with a sting in its tail"), despite his obvious presenting talent. While we're on the subject, we hear from a listener who called into a local radio station competition and totally embarrassed himself in a bid to win £1000.Elsewhere, we hear yet again from the insatiable Battery Robot, and Ian Holloway pops into the studio for a chat!The Luke and Pete Show only serves up the longest of shrifts, and don't you forget it.

    It seems strange to say it but we now live in a world where one can have high-quality gallium delivered to one's home the very next day. Is Pete taking advantage of that societal development? You'll have to listen to find out.Pete follows the gallium chat by challenging Luke to a snooker showdown, a challenge that Luke approaches like a bull being presented with a red rag. Elsewhere, there's Boston Dynamics chat, Battery Robot receives a battery from a very stern wife of a listener, and we ruminate on why there are such odd signs on the London Underground network.You can also get involved by emailing us: hello@lukeandpeteshow.com!
