Sam LIED to Pete...
How many children would it actually take to bring Pete down in a fight? It's the important question that's dividing the boys this week, alongside another heated debate over whether eggs belong in the fridge. Elsewhere, Sam puts Pete's knowledge of Gen Z dating to the test, from breadcrumbing to zombie-ing, before throwing out a question of his own: does anyone genuinely want to spend time with their partner's family? Plus, Pete calls Sam out over a few little white lies he's been caught telling, leaving Sam with plenty of explaining to do... — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

This week, the boys deep dive into all things football, from Pete's "football hooligan" reputation and favourite England players to some questionable school football memories. Sam reveals the truth about meeting certain A listers, shared what really happens when interviewing at Staying Relevant Productions, and opens up about home life now that a certain someone has moved in... Plus, Pete takes on a surprise M&S pistachio taste test, Sam gives his verdict on the huge GTA 6 launch, and they finish with one of their most chaotic games yet... featuring pigeons, football chants, Harry Styles and more... you'll never guess the connection. — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review! 00:00 Introduction 01:24 Sam's thoughts on Jude Bellingham 06:46 The World Cup 17:34 Gogglebox 22:11 New Game Idea 40:14 Pete's Wedding 47:53 Ranking favourite things 52:51 Creating a new game Hosted on Acast.

Are SR Heading to America?
Sam is still feeling a bit worse for wear from the TRICs on this bonus episode, which might explain some of the more baffling answers he gives to your questions. From the stat he’d most like floating above everyone’s head to whether he’d make a decent Prime Minister, Pete is left questioning whether he’s actually alright. The boys also compare screen time, with Pete shocked by his usage and attempting to justify it. This naturally leads into a chat about the 10 minutes of their lives they’d relive if they could. Sam’s answer somehow involves calling Pippa, while Pete’s, as expected, involves dogs. Plus, with two TRICs now under their belt, the boys look ahead to what’s next, and what their dream projects might look like from here. — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

186: WE'RE WINNERS BABY!
You are now listening to a TWO-TIME TRIC Award winning podcast! Oh yeah! From arriving at the ceremony on a pedibus (with BuzzBalls, Sam on the AUX and an unexpected fish and chips stop) to Sam's QUESTIONABLE victory speech and a slightly chaotic drive home... we relive every moment of an unforgettable night. Pete even got to hang out with the Made In Chelsea cast! It also turns out he can see the future as he made a terrifyingly accurate prediction about Molly Mae's baby name. Yes we are turning into the Molly Mae fan club. Elsewhere, Sam hosts the team for a BBQ but is left wondering why nobody appreciated his garden, while Pete shares his biggest pet peeves when people come over to his house - and reveals exactly when guests should know it's time to leave. — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

Who's more liked by the in-laws?
The Staying Relevant x Bongos Bingo summer party is officially happening, and there’s also some brand-new merch on the way to make sure the Relevanter family is fully kitted out for summer. The boys explain why they’d be absolutely terrible Love Islanders, from surviving villa life without alcohol to Sam's big toenails - oh and his questionable posture. Plus, Nicole spots a suspicious grey hair on Pete and asks the all-important question: what’s the last photo on their camera rolls, and is it safe enough to share with the world? As always, Question Time brings the chaos with a round of “Who’s Most Likely To?”, including who’s most likely to send a drunk text... — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

Sam and Pete Agree for the First Time Ever?!
Pete and Sam compare their driving skills and reveal whether they passed their tests first time, before moving on to Molly-Mae's baby name reveal. The boys debate whether they'd ever change their own children's names if other people didn't like them, but the conversation takes an unexpected turn when Sam drops an announcement that leaves everyone stunned, including Pete. Could he finally be turning into Pete?! And of course, it's time for some classic Question Time. Would the boys rather have a nose that keeps growing or ears that never stop getting bigger? And have they ever accidentally called or messaged someone they definitely shouldn't have? We get some very Pete coded answers from both the boys... — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

This week, Sam’s long-awaited Soccer Aid punishment is finally revealed - and it involves one of the most disgusting foods on the planet. Pete gives us his honest review of Sam’s lavish new Mediterranean inspired garden and Sam spills all on the teams' beer fuelled journey to the TRIC Awards.

Would Pete Really Give Everyone a Day Off If England Win?
With the World Cup fast approaching, the boys discuss whether they’re getting excited for staying up and watching the matches... and more importantly, whether Pete would give the team a day off if England went all the way and won it?! We also dish out some festival outfit advice, which spirals into a conversation about stag dos. What would Sam do if he was put in charge of planning Pete’s perfect stag, and would Pete actually trust him with the responsibility? Plus, the boys tackle some hypotheticals, including what object they’d be and also if no one was ever to find out what would the boys do first? Sam slightly misunderstands the assignment, while Pete’s answer is exactly as dramatic as you’d expect... — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — …Likewise, this episode is sponsored by Dutton Ranch, the epic series that is out now!

183: Pete's most unexpected reveal yet!
This week, Sam is fresh from Soccer Aid, so we unpack his performance albeit short but sweet! But more importantly, after confidently guaranteeing he’d score, we get into exactly why that didn’t happen and what forfeit he’ll now have to face 👀 Meanwhile, Pete unpacks his turn at a to the Palace as well as returning to Gogglebox with Vicky Pattison. While he’s thrilled to be back on our screens, he’s less enthusiastic about some of the TV he’s watched, particularly Britain’s Got Talent. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Pete reveals a hidden talent that nobody saw coming, before treating us to his own dramatic retelling of a scene from Rivals. And finally, Pete Rants returns, this time aimed at the people leaving comments under his posts... and it’s safe to say he’s not taking it well. — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — …Likewise, this episode is sponsored by Dutton Ranch, the epic series that is out now!

182: Will Sam score at Soccer Aid?! (Spoiler: No)
This week, Pete’s favourite season is officially back... Love Island season. With the new line-up revealed, the boys waste no time picking the islanders they’ll be backing, with absolutely no knowledge at all on any of them. The heatwave also sparks a very important debate: if temperatures hit a certain level, should the team be allowed to refuse to come into work? Pete and Sam reveal exactly what kind of bosses they’d be when if faced with a workplace rebellion. Plus, with Sam rubbing shoulders with some famous faces at Soccer Aid, Danny Dyer's comes up as his return in Rivals sparks a debate: has he officially entered his s*x symbol era?

How to Win Someone Back
This week’s bonus episode sees the boys testing out a viral trend where they have to say the same phrase in their happy, nervous and flirty voices… with some far more convincing than others. We also get into one of the most ridiculous dilemmas yet, debate how they’d haunt each other if they came back as ghosts, and compare intrusive thoughts… with nobody being surprised by how differently Sam and Pete’s brains work. And finally, one listener asks how to win back a girl after seriously annoying her, which leads to Pete interrogating Sam on what he actually does to make it up to Tally after an argument… — 📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know) — 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com — 🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast — 🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/ — 📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book: https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook — 🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here: https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/ — And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!
