166: Sam and Pete reveal their Valentines plans
Feb 900:43:26Tap to summarizeOn this week’s episode, the boys lean way too hard into Valentine’s Day romance as Sam reveals his Valentines plans with his girlfriend whilst Pete immediately weighs in… and no, despite rumours, the romantic ski trip is officially off the table. The boys also pitch the perfect Valentine’s scenario, and one of our very lucky listeners gets a sensual message from Pete she most definitely did not ask for. Plus, Pete shares his own Valentine’s plans… and yes, Sam's balls were tingled.PLUS Pete discusses his TV choice award win (...and Bafta pending), the return of the NYE suit (less smelly than expected), Sam's oddly organised diary and Sam's new baking venture....

Sam’s first rant on the pod!
Feb 500:37:51Tap to summarizeOn this week’s bonus episode, it’s a big, rant-y one. Not only do we get a classic Pete rant, but Sam officially pops his rant cherry with his very first pod rant. And it’s not just one, not two, but three separate rants from Sam, with Harry Styles even catching his wrath along the way.What sparks all this outrage? The age-old question: who is the male version of a Karen? Is it Pete or is it Sam? As we discover that a male Karen is actually called a Darren, the real debate begins. So who’s more Darren… Sam or Pete?We also get into Gen Z admin nights, which Pete is very much not happy about, leading to a surprisingly accurate and slightly terrifying impression of what he thinks Gen Z sounds like. The final and perhaps most important question of the episode is this: what era are the boys really in? Clean air, boss girl or soft girl?—📩📮 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!
