Staying Relevant

With Pete away, Sam is joined by Iain Stirling! We hear about his unlikely journey from studying law to becoming one of the biggest voices in British TV.

Sam also begins fanboying (shock) when Iain tells us about his twitch channel. Of course Sam has now asked (forced) Iain to game with him.

The conversation then turns to all things Love Island, with Iain revealing what it’s really been like taking the show to the US and sharing some of his favourite contestants from across the years.

After taste-testing their fair share of viral M&S products, Sam and Pete reveal what product they would develop uf they worked there.Pete’s creation is predictably sweet, while Sam has taken things in a slightly more rogue direction. And the food chat doesn’t stop there, as the boys discuss the possibility of a Staying Relevant Come Dine With Me….

Elsewhere, Pete gives us a glimpse inside his flat, including the all-important question of what’s actually in his bedroom.

Plus, if Sam and Pete could invent their own countries, what would they look like? Sam’s created the rather lively-sounding Vida Loca, while Pete’s chosen somewhere near the North Sea. We’ll let you decide which one you’d rather book a holiday to.

Paul Sinha, best known as one of the Chasers on The Chase, joins Sam and Pete this week!

The boys chat to Paul about his varied career, from starting out as a GP before realising he much preferred the idea of being a stand-up comedian, to becoming one of the country’s best-known quizzers and, of course, a Chaser.

With Paul as our resident quizmaster, we had to put Sam and Pete’s general knowledge to the test as they go head-to-head to find out who really knows more.

Plus, there’s a secret bonus round involving nothing but a deck of cards and a test of memory between Sam, Pete and Paul. Who comes out on top might seriously surprise you…

It’s a very special guest on Staying Relevant this week whilst Pete is away… Tally is here!

Tally reveals what Sam is ACTUALLY like behind closed doors, away from the podcast and all the chaos of Staying Relevant. They chat about how they first met, their early dating days and the story of their first kiss, which took a lot longer than expected...

They also tackle some classic dating dilemmas such as whether partners should have each other on Find My Friends on each other’s phones and how long is too long to wait for a text from a boy. Plus, we finally get to fact-check some of Sam’s self-proclaimed credentials… romantic, athletic, chess champion?!

And, of course, the question everyone wants answered…Are Sam and Tally getting married?

This week, Pete discusses why he's leaving us... Before he heads off, the boys tackle one of life's biggest debates: should Christmas decorations ever go up in July? And, are flip flops acceptable in the city, or should they stay at the beach?

Sam also shares some exciting news as he lands a brand new presenting job, which means a whole new fresh style!!

PLUS, Pete and Sam take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about all the firsts that shaped their friendship... which Sam has no recollection of...
