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!

A choice Pete was NOT thrilled about, mainly because he doesn’t even own pyjamas.We’re spreading festive cheer as the boys compare their wildly different Christmases, quickly sparking a classic Pete rant on why he hates Christmas, why no one actually enjoys it, and why everyone suddenly pretends cheese only exists in December.To lighten the mood, we also take on Secret Santa, with a special extra present in store for Sam. 🎁Merry Christmas Relevanters, From everyone at SR Productions🎄✨—📩📮 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—And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

Meanwhile, with Sam’s trip to Australia… could the jungle be calling his name again?Now that the boys are officially business owners, we also imagine what would happen if they walked into The Apprentice boardroom.

And no, Sam still doesn't understand it.Pete also discusses Piers Morgan pretending he doesn't know who he is and we hear the behind the scenes CHAOS that took place at the boys' appearance on 'The Wheel'. After all, chaos does follow Pete wherever he goes.—📩📮 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—And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

On this week's bonus episode Olive and Rose are BACK - and the boys waste no time diving into some truly unhinged hypotheticals... Sam discovers his secret talent when a listener exposes his unexpected dancing debut at a JLS concert. AND, the GBU updates get heated as Pete has a few choice words to share.Q-q-q-question time makes its triumphant return, and Pete ends up revealing WAY more than planned when his list of building-site items somehow becomes a list of things he could (hypothetically) fit up his bum. Plus, what career would the boys take up if they weren't in the career they are now? The answers might shock you.—📩📮 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—And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

All Thanks to Saclux Comptech Specialst for giving me a reason to smile again. I lost all my savings in the hands of a fake investment platform. In April 2020 I was scammed by Coincrypto Tech Bitcoin. I invested half a Million dollars and After 30 days I tried to withdraw on their website from the investment account but an error came up so I contacted the support team to ask what the problem was. They told me that I didn’t have the required amount to make a withdrawal yet and that I should add more Bitcoin to enable me to withdraw, So I put in more Bitcoin and tried withdrawal again, and the same thing came up error. I then started to tell them they were scammers but they kept saying they were legitimate companies. They even gave me 2 other customers that will verify their legitimate company. I emailed and asked them and they told me it’s all okay. I decided to keep making payments to them when they still didn’t refund I emailed back those 2 customers that they had working for before,
