  • 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.

  • Pete Has Been Liking WHAT Insta Photos?!
    Jun 3 2026

    This week’s bonus episode sees Pete needing to explain himself after the team have caught him liking a very unexpected Instagram post…


    We also get into past lives, debating which alternate life they’d most want to experience, from surviving American high school to a fashion student in Paris.


    Plus, the boys discover they couldn’t be further apart on their dream stag dos, before diving into a listener dilemma, including one very important question: does liking an Instagram Story actually mean a boy is in love with you? The team have some real opposing thoughts on this one...

  • 182: Will Sam score at Soccer Aid?! (Spoiler: No)
    May 31 2026

    This week, Pete’s favourite season is officially back... Love Island season. With the new line-up revealed, the boys waste no time picking the islanders they’ll be backing, with absolutely no knowledge at all on any of them.


    The heatwave also sparks a very important debate: if temperatures hit a certain level, should the team be allowed to refuse to come into work? Pete and Sam reveal exactly what kind of bosses they’d be when if faced with a workplace rebellion. Plus, with Sam rubbing shoulders with some famous faces at Soccer Aid, Danny Dyer's comes up as his return in Rivals sparks a debate: has he officially entered his s*x symbol era? The boys weigh in...


    And of course, a rogue question thrown in for good measure: if you could be any Avenger, who are you choosing?

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?
