    153: Advice for our younger selves…

    Las Vegas was on the horizon when we recorded this episode so the boys chat all Vegas planning with casinos, cowboys, pool parties and Sam annoying Pete on the plane.


    The boys get a bit reflective too, sharing the advice they’d give their 25-year-old selves. It got way deeper than expected.


    Then it’s dating talk. When do you actually delete the apps in a relationship? Plus, it’s officially cuffing season! As we get into the winter months we want to hear YOUR cuffing stories…whether you’re single and ready to cuff, already coupled up, or taking someone special to Winter Wonderland. Pete and Sam are here to dish out some cuffing advice.


    Oh, and Producer Pippa and Digital Josh make their first podcast appearance. The boys aren’t happy about it.

    The Staying Relevant Book is OUT!!!

    The wait is officially over because it’s release day! The Staying Relevant book is officially out!!!


    AND we’re back on tour again... some places Sam can’t remember, but grab your tickets and come see us (Liverpool and Birmingham btw). We’re also asking the BIG question: can we be a Sunday Times Bestseller?!


    Plus we chat fainters and squirters (no context needed), our take on Warner Bros. Studio Tour - The Making of Harry Potter, and how Pete somehow got into a fight this week…


    Oh, and what do a Mary, a flower, and Captain Winkie all have in common? One of our listeners has the answer. And in light of the Louvre scandal, Sam and Pete plan the perfect heist.

    152: Are Sam and Pete Hosting Strictly Next?!

    This week, Sam missed the Monday meeting… again. Which led to a full team vote on who we’d rather trust with the company: Pete or Sam.


    With Tess and Claudia leaving Strictly, the boys’ names have somehow been thrown into the mix, so Sam gets his very own glitterball audition. Also Christmas chat is creeping in too and Pete’s already annoyed, but we rope him into reviewing meal deals with a bit of Mariah Carey singing thrown in. Plus, Sam’s been pumpkin picking with the family and Peep, who’s just been hard-launched by his sister on Instagram. We get his thoughts on that one.


    And finally… Group 7. Pete just didn’t get it. Didn’t want to get it. Still doesn’t.

    Sam and Pete are heading to Vegas!

    On this week's spoooooky Halloween bonus episode we discover the boys are off to Vegas! What are they up to? No one knows - but expect pure CHAOS. The team finally headed off to Harry Potter for Sam's belated birthday celebrations and Pete was way too excited to wave his wand around.


    PLUS... there's a quick GBU update (spoiler: they lost… again) and sponsor Pete is not a happy man. And... listener Jessica emails in and asks Sam and Pete to reveal their baby's gender which sparks some questionable baby names... You'll have to listen to find out.

    151: Sam and Pete Make Headlines...

    This week’s episode was recorded the morning after our book launch event, the one that Sam supposedly organised! Pete ended up having a much better time than expected, and the boys chat all about what it was like hosting a room full of influencers. How did their speeches go? Any memorable conversations to report?


    They also relive the Pride of Britain Awards, where the boys made quite the entrance on a tandem bike. Sam even made headlines with one of his interviews and got a little embarrassed by Anne Marie on stage! We also get an update on Peep too... has Sam finally introduced her to Pete? And has the girlfriend question been popped yet?


    Plus, Pete Wicks Icks are back, featuring his latest obsession: a pistachio iced latte. And there’s a little prank on Pete as we get him to rate red flags… that are actually all about him. Let’s see if he realises he might just be a walking red flag himself.

    Pete discovers Jellycat Airlines

    Our trip to Harry Potter Studios has finally arrived, and Pete couldn’t be more thrilled to wave his wand around. Meanwhile, something else he might be even more excited for… Jellycat Airlines has officially taken off!


    The boys also debate what roles they’d take on if they ever lived together, and reminisce about their old pet names from Fox to Treacle Tart.


    Plus, King Kylie is back and inspiring some… let’s say questionable song recreations, and the early Christmas party planning has begun (Winter Wonderland, anyone?).

    150: Sam's HARD Launch...

    This week, For Dogs’ Sake Season 2 is officially back, and Pete’s back on our screens too. But that’s not the only show he’s appearing on. He’s also been on TV with his mum, showing off some surprisingly spicy celeb ex knowledge. So, does Pete secretly love a bit of gossip?


    Meanwhile, Sam went viral, but not for the reason he’d hoped. Let’s just say the wrong NFL shirt caused a stir, and he was not impressed. And that wasn’t even his only viral moment this week, as Sam was spotted out with Peep, and the hard launch finally hit Instagram (even if he disagrees). Naturally, we got Pete to put him in the hot seat for all the details...


    We also chat about Molly-Mae’s new series and get Pete’s very unbothered reaction, especially when it comes to the whole nanny controversy.


    Plus, tickets for our upcoming book shows are live! If you fancy hanging out with us in real life, grab your tickets now before they’re gone.

    Pete FAILED a test??

    On this week’s bonus episode, we find out if Sam has finally made it to the Monday meeting - only a year into running the business! Plus, we’ve got some big news… there’s now an official fan podcast! So, are we actually relevant now?


    Pete’s brand new show For Dog’s Sake has finally aired - and it might just be some of his best work yet. Meanwhile, Sam gives us a surprising biology lesson after discovering that the brain controls the body.


    And with Halloween creeping closer, Sam’s in for a fright of his own when he finds out Maya Jama’s famous Halloween party isn’t happening this year… 


    PLUS q.q.q.q.question time is back and we discover Sam and Pete's driving test FAILS and imagine which actors would play the Staying Relevant team in the a Staying Relevant movie.

    149: Chris McCausland ROASTS Sam and Pete!

    This week, the boys are joined by returning guest, the hilarious and brilliantly talented Strictly Come Dancing champion Chris McCausland!


    A year on from his glitterball glory, Chris is back to chat all things Strictly. From his early hesitations and training mishaps to his unexpected bromance with Pete, he spills all. He also opens up about life after the show, his partnership with Dianne, and who he’s backing to win this year.


    Chris also shares insight into his brand-new book 'Keep Laughing' and his powerful journey of gradually losing his eyesight over 25 years.


    And of course we couldn't not revisit the infamous AI app to see how much Pete’s “aged” (or possibly de-aged?) since last year, and yes, Sam gets his AI age revealed too. Plus, there’s a live prank call inspired by Chris’s past… and let’s just say, it does not go as planned.

    Sam's new enemy and Pete receives a surprise delivery

    This week, Sam and Pete check in on GBU’s wobbly performance: from losses to one draw, have they taken their eye off the ball??


    Meanwhile, Sam’s picked up a rather questionable new hobby - sending piles of poo to people... and Pete’s just received a special delivery in the post. Coincidence? We think not.


    There’s office parking drama, strongly worded reviews, and Sam’s big leap into the literary world with his audiobook debut (Sunday Times Best Seller incoming?). 


    Plus, Q.Q.Q.Question Time returns and we dive deep into Sam’s unhealthy HP sauce obsession, Pete’s secret love for Disney, and the shocking revelation that Sam might actually be able to pull.


    And in the biggest cliffhanger of all - will Sam actually run a Monday meeting?
