Welcome back to Live, Laugh, Luke where Jan is in recovery post surgery and is under strict instruction to do nothing - no hoovering or driving, so she’s absolutely milking it!

In more medical updates, Jan tells us about her prostate test (no, we didn’t think she had a prostate either!), and a sh*t on a stick that she did for her bowel test.

And back at the Hamnett house, Dave’s had his fish nicked by a heroin user/heron. We’ll let you work that one out.

SHAMONE! There’s a game of guess the lyric, and should you be asking your partner permission for things? Let us know what you think in the comments…

Ok, we’re sticking with Just, Jest, Jan!

This week on JJJ, Jan and Luke talk about letting your guard down after Luke was bullied at school.

And would you travel 4 hours for a shag?! It’s maybe a weird thing for a lot of people to be discussing with their own mother, but not round here!

And Jan gives her advice to a struggling mum.

This week’s guest is the incredible Charley Webb, who you might know as the iconic Debbie Dingle from Emmerdale!

She looks back on her incredible 19 years in the soap, and tells Luke about nudity on screen and giving birth in a barn.

She and Luke compare notes on ADHD, from being overstimulated to forgetting to feed your kids(!) Charley talks about how she can sometimes come off as cold when people first meet her, cue watching Luke self-diagnosing himself with autism in real time…

Charley gets real about co-parenting and they get deep and talk about alzheimers, and coping with grief after Charley sadly lost her mum earlier this year.

Oh, and there’s also zero sympathy for a listener who confesses about leaving all of their possessions behind in London and having to book a hotel :(

Luke’s been to NYC for 48 hours to hang out with the Sugababes at 38,000 feet where the wifi is 10/10 and he made Australian news. Jan flew first class once, she drank 11 proseccos, fell asleep and woke up in Mexico….!

Meanwhile Luke had a wild night out in New York, which was almost scuppered when he trusted a fart that he shouldn’t have. But he made it to a gay bar and got to see more than he bargained for. You’re welcome in advance for Luke explaining to Jan what ‘getting eiffel towered’ means ;)

Most importantly though, Jan has had surgery and brings an update about her health… and her gag reflex.

AND there’s a game based around movies - is the answer Snow White or Brokeback Mountain? Who knows - but they are close(!)

Oh, and Jan talks about a dick wall. Nope, we don’t know either. ENJOY!

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?!

Yes, you read that right, it’s Jan’s turn to take to the mic for her very own bonus episodes of the podcast! Each week she will tell us all what she really thinks of the podcast guests, while reacting to your confessions and solving your problems - she’s everyone’s new favourite agony aunt!

Oh, and don’t worry Luke fans, he is still here too! (For contractual and legal reasons we couldn’t get rid)

Anyway, we’re working on the title, but for now please enjoy an extra dose of Luke and Jan every single week!

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!

It’s a lovely catch up for Jan and Luke this week - and hasn’t Jan been busy?!

This week, she has done a horrible fart in a lift, been to the dentist, and ridden all of the rollercoasters at Alton Towers… although she maybe could have done with taking some spare pants with her(!)

Luke has a rant about the trains, and has a thoughtful and insightful voice note from a women’s health coach with some brilliant advice about ADHD management.

And question: do we need to make IBS lanyards a thing?!
