Staying Relevant

Sam is officially back from vocal rest, which means the silence is over though he’s returned more whispering than we expected. We get the full debrief including a slightly embarrassing hospital story he probably wishes he could forget.We also chat about Toy Story’s Woody’s possible hair loss, Sam might not be the only one in trouble. Then there’s Pete, responding to the viral clip where Joe Marler couldn’t believe he’s only 37. It turns into a full-on Pete rant at the trolls in the comments…watch out he’s coming for you. There’s also a nightclub with a 6ft and over entry policy. Neither Sam nor Pete makes the cut so of course we had to get their thoughts on the strict height rules.Plus Sam and producer Pippa are tackling a half marathon. Don’t worry you won’t be left out entirely. Keep your eyes peeled, you might get the chance to run along with us at some point….Learn more about Bemorefab here: https://bemorefab.co.uk/—📩📮 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!

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?

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? The boys weigh in with their honest opinions.And finally, we address a more serious topic. Following messages about Pete’s audiobook, the boys take a moment to respond and clear a few things up.—📩📮 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!

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....

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!
