We’d just come off the back of the O2 (well… technically, we recorded this before it happened), so by the time you’re listening it either went down as the best night ever or completely t*ts up.Sam’s mullet is the talk of the town, but the big question is whether he’s finally ready to say goodbye to it. Meanwhile, Pete admits he once rocked a full-on skinhead. With autumn rolling in, we’re chatting UGGs, pumpkin spice lattes and Sam’s highly questionable Halloween outfit.Since it’s the start of uni season, we imagine what kind of students we’d have been if we’d actually gone and whether we’d have even been friends. To top it off, Pete roleplays meeting a uni girlfriend’s parents, which leads to a few stories from past encounters with girlfriends’ families.📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—🎟️ Missed the O2?!

We kick start this week’s episode with a curveball for Sam as one of his so-called enemies dials in live on the pod. Sean from Hinge, the guy who once listed Sam as his irrational fear on his profile, joins us to confront him head-on! From there, things take another turn with a big question: what actually makes a MILF? That innocent query quickly spirals into some eye-opening revelations from Pete, who casually admits he’s dated not one but two MILFs. We’ve also got a fresh Great Barr United update as the long-awaited shirts finally arrive, though Sam’s comes with a surprise of its own. And to wrap things up, Question Time sparks a fiery debate that splits the room: would you rather never kiss again, or never have sex again?📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—🎟️ Experience the O2 Show live from your screen!

The boys hosted the NTAs red carpet this week - but Sam wasn't twinning with Pete as planned?! Daytime TV Sam also made his return and Pete had some strong opinions about that beaded necklace.Next up was Pete’s favourite segment: The Summer I Turned Pretty UPDATE! But we turn the tables and ask if Pete and Sam were in their own Conrad vs. Jeremiah love triangle, who do they think Belly would actually pick?!Sam also admitted he’s feeling the pressure ahead of his Lily James interview. She’s famously not a fan of Hinge voice notes, and with Sam having a not-so-secret crush, the boys ran some role-play practice to help his nerves. And then there was Pete’s take on Zoë Kravitz... very much his type, but possibly out of reach if the Harry Styles rumours are true.And to round things off, the boys revealed their best attempt at “nonchalant” animal impressions.📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—🎟️ Experience the O2 Show live from your screen!

The boys are back from holidaaay! Expect a full Marbs & Ibiza debrief: Sam spent 90% of the trip topless, returning not so much bronzed god but according to Pete looking like he’d been clapping with baked beans. Meanwhile, Pete is out here self-identifying as causing chaos everywhere…The boys came to the studio fresh from Loose Women where Olive and Rose got a shoutout… and Pete proudly delivered a “wise saying” that, we don’t think actually exists. Oh, and the NTAs are looming where the boys might be in matching outfits and Pete is NOT happy about it!Plus: Pete’s thoughts on Sabby C’s new album, and a totally unhinged Love Is Blind roleplay that no one asked for but we were all here for!📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—🎟️ Experience the O2 Show live from your screen!

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,
