Sam’s first rant on the pod!
EOn 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 [email protected] (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!

164: Sam gets grilled
EThis week on the pod, we welcome a brand new addition to the SR family as Pete introduces us to his new dog Rodney - and we’re already obsessed! That somehow leads us to imagining Pete in Titanic…Elsewhere, Sam’s been on babysitting duty this week, looking after Leo and discovering that bedtime with a four-year-old is not for the faint-hearted. That sparks some role play as Pete walks us through what he thinks he’d do if he were trying to get a kid to sleep. And of course, Love Island is back, which means Pete is fully locked in (not really). We dive into sun cream gate, get his very strong opinions on the situation and find out what he reckons he’d do if he were stuck in the middle of that villa drama. —📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email [email protected] (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!
