    Sam is Exposed...

    This week we unpack a recent style choice made by Sam and are left with many questions -&nbsp;is he trying something new, is it a cry for help, or has he simply found his colour? Then things get properly existential. If Sam and Pete were locked in a room with 999 strangers, what’s the one thing they’d back themselves to be the absolute best at? Unfortunately for Sam... this leads to some information that was probably best kept private.And of course the chaos continues as Question Time pits the boys against each other in ways we never quite imagined.—📩📮 To get in touch with the podcast, email&nbsp;[email protected]&nbsp;(great e-mail, we know)—💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and first access to announcements:&nbsp;https://staying-relevant-newsletter-04a632.beehiiv.com—🩶 Follow us on Instagram | TikTok | Youtube | @stayingrelevantpodcast—🎬 Follow SR Productions on Instagram for more from the team:&nbsp;https://www.instagram.com/stayingrelevantproductions/—📚 ORDER the Staying Relevant Book:https://linktr.ee/StayingRelevantBook—🛍️ SHOP Staying Relevant Merchandise here:&nbsp;https://www.stayingrelevantmerchandise.com/—And of course...make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

There’s also a nightclub with a 6ft and over entry policy.

    Sam’s first rant on the pod!

    On 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&nbsp;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!
