Turns out they don't do so well under pressure.—📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/—📚 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!

Pete responds to his viral moment

Mar 5th, 2026 12:03 AM

Sam is officially back from vocal rest, which means the silence is over though he’s returned more whispering than we expected. We get the full debrief including a slightly embarrassing hospital story he probably wishes he could forget.We also chat about Toy Story’s Woody’s possible hair loss, Sam might not be the only one in trouble. Then there’s Pete, responding to the viral clip where Joe Marler couldn’t believe he’s only 37. It turns into a full-on Pete rant at the trolls in the comments…watch out he’s coming for you. There’s also a nightclub with a 6ft and over entry policy. Neither Sam nor Pete makes the cut so of course we had to get their thoughts on the strict height rules.Plus Sam and producer Pippa are tackling a half marathon. Don’t worry you won’t be left out entirely. Keep your eyes peeled, you might get the chance to run along with us at some point….Learn more about Bemorefab here: https://bemorefab.co.uk/—📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email hello@srproductions.co.uk (great e-mail, we know)—💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements: https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team: https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/—📚 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!
