    30:36|
    It’s a new episode which means one thing. A fresh rant. And this week it’s…Pancake Day.Pete is, unsurprisingly, not on board He’s never even had a pancake. He doesn’t get the hype, whilst Sam is fully invested. Lemon, sugar, Nutella, the lot.But there is something Pete can get behind…his own glow up. We’ve spoken about Sam’s transformation at length, but Pete has quietly levelled up without anyone clocking just how dramatic the shift has been. When you actually compare to last year… it’s a bigger jump than we remembered.Then it descends into a proper rant off as we hand the floor to both of them and ask the important question: who is the biggest Karen?

    31:43|
    This week, the boys step into their most steamy era as they attempt their very best impressions of Nigella Lawson, now that she’s officially the new Bake Off judge.With Valentine’s Day creeping up, a listener asks the all important question: are Valentine’s cards romantic keepsakes or just aggressively soppy bits of folded paper?

  • 166: Sam and Pete reveal their Valentines plans

    43:26|
    On this week’s episode, the boys lean way too hard into Valentine’s Day romance as Sam reveals his Valentines plans with his girlfriend whilst Pete immediately weighs in… and no, despite rumours, the romantic ski trip is officially off the table. The boys also pitch the perfect Valentine’s scenario, and one of our very lucky listeners gets a sensual message from Pete she most definitely did not ask for. Plus, Pete shares his own Valentine’s plans… and yes, Sam's balls were tingled.PLUS Pete discusses his TV choice award win (...and Bafta pending), the return of the NYE suit (less smelly than expected), Sam's oddly organised diary and Sam's new baking venture.... YES he's doing Celebrity Bake Off!!

  • Sam’s first rant on the pod!

    37:51|
    On this week’s bonus episode, it’s a big, rant-y one. Not only do we get a classic Pete rant, but Sam officially pops his rant cherry with his very first pod rant. And it’s not just one, not two, but three separate rants from Sam, with Harry Styles even catching his wrath along the way.What sparks all this outrage? The age-old question: who is the male version of a Karen? Is it Pete or is it Sam? As we discover that a male Karen is actually called a Darren, the real debate begins. So who’s more Darren… Sam or Pete?We also get into Gen Z admin nights, which Pete is very much not happy about, leading to a surprisingly accurate and slightly terrifying impression of what he thinks Gen Z sounds like. The final and perhaps most important question of the episode is this: what era are the boys really in? Clean air, boss girl or soft girl?—📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—📚 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!

  • 164: Sam gets grilled

    52:30|
    This week on the pod, we welcome a brand new addition to the SR family as Pete introduces us to his new dog Rodney - and we’re already obsessed! That somehow leads us to imagining Pete in Titanic…Elsewhere, Sam’s been on babysitting duty this week, looking after Leo and discovering that bedtime with a four-year-old is not for the faint-hearted. That sparks some role play as Pete walks us through what he thinks he’d do if he were trying to get a kid to sleep. And of course, Love Island is back, which means Pete is fully locked in (not really). We dive into sun cream gate, get his very strong opinions on the situation and find out what he reckons he’d do if he were stuck in the middle of that villa drama. —📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—📚 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!
