  • 174: Sam’s big update and Pete’s a hero!
    Apr 5 2026

    The boys reveal the truth behind their viral fake tan - bad news, it’s not hitting shelves anytime soon. Sam also opens up about his latest purchase… and let’s just say his Bake Off stint didn’t exactly go to plan.


    As Sam gears up to interview Paris and Venezuela Fury, he gets stuck on one question he cannot wrap his head around. Plus, a summer hair glow-up is on the cards… but who’s actually going to do it?


    Meanwhile, Pete drops the ultimate bombshell about his sleeping pattern. Alongside launching a dog walking trail, rescuing a stray dog that wandered into the office, and watching Rodney become Staying Relevant’s newest influencer, Pete also shares his very unfiltered thoughts on Molly Mae’s Adidas collab. Oh - and in devastating news, the boys are on the hunt for a new sports team after GBU officially folds… and they are not taking it well.

  • The boys’ secret lives…
    Apr 1 2026

    The Bank holiday weekend is incoming, so the boys kick things off with their plans…


    Then it takes a turn. Conspiracy theories. Of course Sam’s got a few up his sleeve, including the moon landing, but surprisingly Pete also comes in with one of his own… aliens. Yep. Pete believes in them…we didn’t see that one coming. From there we chat what their alter egos would be with the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary airing.


    We then wrap things up with listener questions. Do the boys have a party trick each? Pete absolutely refuses to participate, while Sam fully leans in and reveals a trick no one was ready for. And finally, the big one… would they go back or forward 20 years? Which leads to a deeper question, will they actually be friends forever… and does that include Pippa?!

  • 173: Sam's on the wind up and Pete gets tested
    Mar 29 2026

    This week, Sam turns up in a very questionable outfit... NOT, he has officially pulled it out the bag although we need to talk about the socks. Sam and Pete also relive the moment we somehow won a TRIC Award... and now we’re back, once again shamelessly begging for your votes - link in the description, no excuses.


    From a dinner disaster to baking with Vicky Pattison, Sam’s had a hectic week - pranking the public on Celeb Sabotage and gearing up for Bake Off... And they discuss the most important question: can he cook, or will Pete keep the MasterChef crown?


    Plus, Pete relives his first ever pub quiz, shares his opinions on forced fun activities and also discusses some VERY strong thoughts on the upcoming Labubu film directed by Paul King… He's BUZZING as you could imagine.

I have loved Sam since Celebs go dating. I didn't even know who Pete was until Sam was on I'm a celebrity and Pete went to visit him in the jungle. I have to say, I was unsure about Pete, couldn't work out if he was Grumpy Dwarf or Snow white. He appeared to love Sam but hate him at the same time. I didn't really get it. This did mean that Pete was not on my list of favourite people and I probably did an eye roll whenever he was mentioned.
None the less, I loved Sam so much, I decided to give Staying Relevant a listen. What a great decision that was. I absolutely love this podcast. You two are the perfect pairing. Pete, I feel like I understand you more now, you are in fact both Grumpy Dwarf and Snow White (without the constant annoying singing and cleaning) and I LOVE it. I love how Pete hates everything and doesn't even care. Is it an act, or is he really like that? I think he really is like that, and has little tolerance for people, stupidity, and the world. (Me too Pete, me too)
Sam and your love for everything makes me so happy every time I listen to the podcast.
This is a great wholesome podcast of two wonderful people just doing life together and sharing their adventures with the rest of us. Please never stop what you are doing, I NEED Pete and Sam in my life!

Is Pete Grumpy Dwarf or Snow White?
