Staying Relevant

This week Pete's joined by everyone’s favourite nan, Grime Gran - and trust us, she does not hold back... the unexpected duo you didn't know you needed.

From her East End roots to unexpected social media fame, Grime Gran sits down with Pete to reveal how it all started, why authenticity is her secret weapon, and what it’s really like going viral later in life. She spills ALL on her favourite celebrity encounters and opens up about love and loss.

But it wouldn’t be Grime Gran without a bit of chaos… 👀

There’s a hilarious Gen Z slang challenge (that goes completely off the rails), brutally honest takes on modern dating vs “back in her day,” and some very strong opinions on romance, chivalry, and the cost of living today.

On this week's bonus, the boys relive the iconic university presentation that went completely off-script - including the moment Sam accidentally dropped his arsehole centre stage... And things somehow get even more unhinged as they debate what meal deal they’d be - and let’s just say, the honesty is BRUTAL.

A TikTok critic weighs in on Pete’s BRITS outfit (which goes down swimmingly well... NOT), and Sam relives the time he made the worst dressed list thanks to his beloved Crocs.

With I’m A Celeb All Stars round the corner, Sam spills on his savage run in with Gemma Collins... and we uncover Pete will be joining Sam on the sofa for I'm a Celeb: Unpacked.

Plus, Q.Q.Q.Q.Question time is BACK: in light of the new Harry Styles album the boys tease what they would call theirs, they also reveal which Staying Relevant team member they’d swap lives with, and… finally… ask the big question: Are we living in a simulation?

Alan Carr joins us on the pod and it's about as chaotic as you would imagine...

From his “pussy free” Scottish castle and brand new royal title, to the behind-the-scenes chaos of The Traitors, he spills it all.

He relives his iconic “I'm a Faithful!” moment, the dramatic murder of Paloma Faith (and the awkward phone call afterwards), as well as an awkward encounter with Sam's hero, Stephen Fry.

Alan discusses how Adele planned his wedding and flew him to Vegas to see Celine Dion, and he teases the funniest series yet of Last One Laughing UK.

Plus: Alan’s savage impression of Pete and Sam, and his obsession with Four in a Bed, Coach Trip, and Come Dine with Me.

This week the boys pass on some pretty big life advice to 20 year olds up and down the country. They deliberate when they truly peaked, the age they’d happily stay forever, and whether things actually improve with time… or if it’s all downhill from here. We'll leave that for you to decide.

We hear their hopes and dreams for the future as well as their biggest regrets along the way.

Things take a swift turn as we hear their biggest relationship deal breakers and what would truly make them run for the hills - Sam slightly misses the mark with this one, but that's why we love him.

We find out whether the boys REALLY want marriage and kids and how they'd best describe themselves under pressure. Turns out they don't do so well under pressure.

The O2 documentary is FINALLY out on YouTube, and the boys celebrated with a chaotic viewing party at Sam’s house - which ended with a rather interesting Instagram Live… and we're hit with the big question: when are the boys getting back on stage?

Fresh from the BRITs, Sam reveals why he waited 30 minutes to walk the red carpet with Pete, Pete shares the moment Sharon Osbourne complimented him, and Sam reacts to being officially announced for Soccer Aid again - with Tom Hiddleston back in the lineup... maybe this year he'll guest on the pod.

Plus: Sam’s dad accidentally calls the podcast “Staying Irrelevant”, Pete prepares for Crufts with his teenage dog Rodney, the boys react to Tom Holland and Zendaya's secret wedding and the boys reveal their dream wedding plans…
