    This week, Sam’s long-awaited Soccer Aid punishment is finally revealed - and it involves one of the most disgusting foods on the planet. Pete gives us his honest review of Sam’s lavish new Mediterranean inspired garden and Sam spills all on the teams' beer fuelled journey to the TRIC Awards.

  • Would Pete Really Give Everyone a Day Off If England Win?
    Jun 10 2026

    With the World Cup fast approaching, the boys discuss whether they’re getting excited for staying up and watching the matches... and more importantly, whether Pete would give the team a day off if England went all the way and won it?!


    We also dish out some festival outfit advice, which spirals into a conversation about stag dos. What would Sam do if he was put in charge of planning Pete’s perfect stag, and would Pete actually trust him with the responsibility?


    Plus, the boys tackle some hypotheticals, including what object they’d be and also if no one was ever to find out what would the boys do first? Sam slightly misunderstands the assignment, while Pete’s answer is exactly as dramatic as you’d expect...

  • 183: Pete's most unexpected reveal yet!
    Jun 7 2026

    This week, Sam is fresh from Soccer Aid, so we unpack his performance albeit short but sweet! But more importantly, after confidently guaranteeing he’d score, we get into exactly why that didn’t happen and what forfeit he’ll now have to face 👀


    Meanwhile, Pete unpacks his turn at a to the Palace as well as returning to Gogglebox with Vicky Pattison. While he’s thrilled to be back on our screens, he’s less enthusiastic about some of the TV he’s watched, particularly Britain’s Got Talent. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Pete reveals a hidden talent that nobody saw coming, before treating us to his own dramatic retelling of a scene from Rivals.


    And finally, Pete Rants returns, this time aimed at the people leaving comments under his posts... and it’s safe to say he’s not taking it well.

Should be the next Ant & Dec

I have loved Sam since Celebs go dating. I didn't even know who Pete was until Sam was on I'm a celebrity and Pete went to visit him in the jungle. I have to say, I was unsure about Pete, couldn't work out if he was Grumpy Dwarf or Snow white. He appeared to love Sam but hate him at the same time. I didn't really get it. This did mean that Pete was not on my list of favourite people and I probably did an eye roll whenever he was mentioned.
None the less, I loved Sam so much, I decided to give Staying Relevant a listen. What a great decision that was. I absolutely love this podcast. You two are the perfect pairing. Pete, I feel like I understand you more now, you are in fact both Grumpy Dwarf and Snow White (without the constant annoying singing and cleaning) and I LOVE it. I love how Pete hates everything and doesn't even care. Is it an act, or is he really like that? I think he really is like that, and has little tolerance for people, stupidity, and the world. (Me too Pete, me too)
Sam and your love for everything makes me so happy every time I listen to the podcast.
This is a great wholesome podcast of two wonderful people just doing life together and sharing their adventures with the rest of us. Please never stop what you are doing, I NEED Pete and Sam in my life!

Is Pete Grumpy Dwarf or Snow White?
