In this episode of Mark and Pete, we dive headfirst into the swirling madness of modern life — where microplastics have made their way into our bloodstreams, wrestling legends are finding Jesus, and comedy giants collapse mid-sketch on live TV. We start with the disturbing reality that plastic is now part of the human body. Studies, including a recent Chinese investigation, show that microplastics are not just in our oceans — they’re in our veins. What does this mean for creation, the body, and the soul? Next, we remember the iconic Tommy Cooper, who died on stage in 1984 in front of 12 million viewers. With his cape recently bought by illusionist David Copperfield for £8,500, we reflect on the blurred lines between performance and mortality. Then, to the wrestling ring: Hulk Hogan — a.k.a. Terry Bollea — now born again and baptised. Supported by The Rock, backed Trump, and now washed in water. What’s going on beneath the bandana? Blending humour, theology, and cultural critique, Mark and Pete tackle the surreal truth behind plastic in the blood, death in the spotlight, and salvation in spandex.
Bible Verse of the episode: Romans 8:22–23
