  • Do the Thomas Brothers get Botox?!
    Jul 15 2026

    The Thomas brothers stick around with Sam for the bonus, where they chat about their arguments, who’s the most stubborn when it comes to breaking the silence, and how long they can actually go without speaking to each other.


    They also put their Gen Z knowledge to the test, finding out who’s the most out of touch, before getting into dating and the realities of being a dad. With Ryan and Adam as parents, and Sam as a hypothetical one, they discuss how they’d handle the day their daughters start dating. From boys coming to the house to whether they’d ever let a boyfriend stay over. There’s even a little roleplay involved…


    Plus, the boys have an honest chat about getting older, whether they’re starting to feel their age, and the most important question of all: are they getting Botox?

  • Sam LIED to Pete...
    Jul 8 2026

    How many children would it actually take to bring Pete down in a fight? It's the important question that's dividing the boys this week, alongside another heated debate over whether eggs belong in the fridge.


    Elsewhere, Sam puts Pete's knowledge of Gen Z dating to the test, from breadcrumbing to zombie-ing, before throwing out a question of his own: does anyone genuinely want to spend time with their partner's family?


    Plus, Pete calls Sam out over a few little white lies he's been caught telling, leaving Sam with plenty of explaining to do...

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?
