  • Grime Gran’s Dating Advice to Pete
    Mar 26 2026

    Grime Gran is BACK for the bonus, and she’s not holding back…


    We kick things off with the viral M&S Easter egg, The Big Daddy, as Pete and Grime Gran decide if it’s actually worth the hype. Then it’s time for a team talk with loyalties divided. Grime Gran the Arsenal fan versus Pete supporting Tottenham. However, one thing they can agree on...their very strong opinions on Jellycats.


    Plus, your dilemmas. A boyfriend liking bikini pics, harmless or disrespectful? The most important quality in a person, and how to handle the pressure of aging.


    And finally, Grime Gran dishes out some personal dating advice for anyone single at 37 and still waiting for the one… looking at you, Pete.

  • 172: Pete meets his match - it’s Grime Gran!

    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.

  • Sam and Pete face their biggest critics yet
    Mar 19 2026

    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?

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?
