Live, Laugh, Luke... with Luke Hamnett

Strap in for this one, as Luke and Jan are joined by the incredible David the Medium, in the middle of his sold out UK tour. David can often tell you if your partner is cheating, he’s correctly told a man he had a brain tumour, and he predicted Covid 6 months before it happened….(!) David gives Jan and Luke an amazing reading - this is an episode not to be missed…! He also tells us why you should NEVER go near an ouija board, about doing readings for people on the dance floor, and how animals communicate in English - every day’s a school day, hey?! David’s sassy cat tells him to go to the gym, but Luke shares a story from a different medium who came through with a heartfelt and meaningful message from his dog… Plus, he predicts we’ll be doing the podcast live at Glastonbury in 2027 (pretty please Michael Eavis TYSM xxx) David gets fully involved in this week’s confessions and asks life’s important questions: what IS a gilet?!

Today’s guest is the incredible mental health campaigner and London Marathon legend, Ben West. A little heads up from us that this episode includes discussion around mental health and suicide. Ben tells Luke about how losing his 15 year old brother when he took his own life, became the catalyst for his campaign work around mental health, giving what he describes as a joyful end to a horribly tragic story. He talks about Reasons To Stay - a website where anyone can write a letter to someone considering suicide - that has become an invaluable resource for so many people. But it’s not come without its challenges! Alongside bereavement, Ben has handled early setbacks at Downing Street, and falling over at Mile 2 of the marathon :( Luke and Ben compare notes after going viral online; Ben deletes Instagram when it all gets a bit much and Channing Tatum and Jennifer Aniston are in the DMs after he cried to 60 million people, meanwhile Luke’s first thought is that he might look ugly. Plus - Ben tells Luke why you should never EVER tell a cabbie that you’re a mental health campaigner!

Plus Keisha gives us all some very important insight to what happens when you need a wee onstage, and answers very important questions like: What would you do if you were locked out the house and needed a poo?

It’s a mega catch up with Luke and Jan this week, because Luke’s been having some adventures Stateside, while Jan has been making coin on Vinted! In fact, she’s such a business mogul now that the beginning of this episode is interrupted by Jan taking a call. We apologise for the interruption. Luke tells Jan about his amazing time at the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny’s performance, as well as the most expensive round of drinks ever, and the first world problem of connecting flights (never again!) It also might be time to call Childline, because Jan has changed around Luke’s childhood bedroom (except Luke is in his thirties and has his own house). And Jan turns savage in a game of two truths and a lie.. *makes note to never play drinking games with Jan* Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
