1:45Okie dokie. A one, a two, a one, two, three, four. Welcome to Staying Relevant, the podcast hosted by two best friends, me, Sam Thompson and Peter James, Jonathan Joseph, Jeremiah, Josiah Wicks. Good to see the vocal cord surgery's done well. I'll apologise for that now. If you don't like swearing... Sorry, I had a moment there. and girls put off by the YouTube. Oh, you're going to start singing yourself just then. If you don't like swearing, then go f*** yourself. We should do this whole podcast in a musical. No, we shouldn't. This is Monday's episode, so you will be able to catch this on Josh and Kira's YouTube channel from 5pm on Wednesday, and then we'll be doing a bonus episode, which comes out audibly on Thursday, which you can then watch on Josh and Kira's YouTube channel from 5pm on Sunday, which means you can catch us on a Monday.

2:45Wednesday. Thursday Thursday Sunday Sorry Just caught a little bit of a york So just Sam on his own then When can you catch us? Monday Wednesday Thursday Sunday Wonderful stuff Make sure you rate, review, do all of that crap You know the score by now Well I think we should start with the obvious Ah We are now in podcast wars Because there's a podcast who are going out of their way To aggravate us when we're filming This is amazing It's They have taken as many as they can get in here. And they seem to be playing beer pong around about half past 10 on a Wednesday morning. So if you want to know which the serious podcast is, us recording or the ones playing beer pong on a random Wednesday, then you know.

3:30Podcast Wars, baby, let's do it. Look, I didn't start this. Pete started this, which means that I can actually follow suit now. And trust me, I'll finish it as well. Anything you want us to do, maybe get in the comments. What would you like us to do in Podcast Wars against ****? Yeah, because what we are going to do is we are going to find out when they're recording and then I'm going to send my dog in there to piss all over their set. Run club, though. We did go on a run club. And my God, was it a great... What an evening that was, man. Hundreds of people turned up. So thank you, everyone, for coming.

4:04Let us know what you thought of the run club and whether or not you'd like us to do it again. I did make a promise at that run club that if we double the numbers, I may run because I couldn't this time. Pete could have he just didn't want to I couldn't why what was the affliction you had injuries which ones both legs were injured

4:32ACLs and BBLs BBLs he's had a BBL ACLs BBLs and you know TRIs and STIs and there was lots of problems I'd love to see you with BBL So I've now got Pete with like a really, really obvious like BVL bum in my head. But I was there as motivator. So, you know, got you all going. Did some warm ups with you and Pippa. Yeah, you did. I must say, neither of you particularly flexible. But you did very well in the run. Sam's going to go through the run in a minute. But yeah, I kept myself busy during the time that you were running. What did you get up to? Just sort of there, just like, you know, sat down and, you know, just put good energy into the air for you all.

5:13to make sure you all came back safe, had a part of Guinness, and met some people, you know, just sort of strolled around Tower Bridge. It was a really lovely evening. Just waiting for you all to come home, welcoming you. Come home. Welcoming you all home, just to make sure. I was on call as well, as I mentioned, just in case there were any kind of stragglers. I did say that I would go out on a rescue mission search party. But thankfully, everyone returned safe and sound. So I don't know what happened on the run because I was busy believing in the run. So I was believing in your, oh, Pete bought security to the run club.

5:51Yeah. Pete just went and sat with a security guard on a bench. We had a lovely time. So talk us through it then. So the run club was fucking beautiful. In all seriousness, I had such a, I'm going to say magical, a magical time. We, because when we started this thing, I don't think anyone, first of all, I don't think we knew how many people were going to turn up because obviously we sold a certain amount of, not even sold, actually, we just gave away a certain amount of tickets. But you never know whether they're going to turn up and how many people actually, because it's a run club. So like, how many people are actually going to run on this thing?

6:22We had hundreds of people turn up, which was just a fucking beautiful thing. And the energy, the vibe was so high. Like, and getting to meet people who like, obviously avid listeners of the pod. And it's the same kind of thing with the O2. They turn up, don't know how it's going to go. And then everyone's together. Do you know how many people turn up on their own as well? Yeah. And they were literally like, I just want to be here. I think it's going to be really, really fun. And everyone made friends. We had dads supporting daughters. Oh, that was so nice, wasn't it? Yeah, we had people that had run the marathon that actually came just to do the run club as well, which was nice.

6:54The legs were burning before that even started, much like mine with all the ACLs and VBLs and that. Lots of friends of the pod. But it was a really amazing energy. Like, it was fucking great. To the point where, as Pete just said, Pete, at the end, even you got infected. Pete got the megaphone up and went, I'm going to be doing the next one. Maybe. You were full on. No, but there is a stipulation. If we hit 500 people. Yes. I'll do it. Then people do the 6K. By the way. And we'll make it longer and make it a 10K. Oh, fucking hell, mate. I actually don't know if I can do that. Just on the run itself.

7:28It was really fucking hard. I had to have a 9kg speaker strapped to my back. I looked at people at one point and we both looked like we were going to fucking pass out. and we had to be at the front of this pack of people the entire time. I had to scream into the megaphone all the time, just wishing people a good run. It was actually fucking hard. So I don't know if I could do further than 6K this time, if I'm honest with you. I'm happy with 6. 3K for the next one we're going to be doing. But it was fucking great. The whole vibe was amazing. What was your favourite bit? My favourite bit, I think, was when we were running across the bridge and there was like loads of people littered across the bridge and the sunset was literally just happening.

8:09And when we had that like beautiful photo actually as well on the bridge with everybody and did those little fucking popping things. And yeah, mate, do you know what's really nice? And you know, not to get too emotional because it's not that emotional, but like just to actually see, like it was see, like just to actually see the energy of people who care about this podcast and stuff, see them all in the flesh and get to do things with them and like just get to hang with people. I just thought it was super fucking cool. I love that kind of shit. As our first Stan Rillivan, I'd call it a social.

8:37It was such a social, wasn't it? Someone got broken up with, sorry. Just, I remember someone got binned off and we were sort of like their after bin off run. Yeah, literally like a day prior, they came into the run. So for future reference, if you come to socials, don't tell Sam your business because he will tell everyone. We hope you're doing well. I'm sure that was supposed to be an intimate moment. But yeah, as our first staying relevant social, let us know what other socials you'd like. Paddle Club. Oh! Love the idea of that. Again, I don't know if my ACLs and BBLs would be better by them, but it would be nice to come and support you and watch you all hit a ball.

9:14The singing, the music, there was a lot of music going on. Made a lot of noise. A lot of people around Tower Bridge, as I was getting the general reaction from the public, quite annoyed. And whilst we're at it, massive thank you to Friday Night Lights who organise the whole thing. They do kind of their run club. So if you enjoyed that, they actually do it there every Friday night, which is just amazing because they have a very good little community of people that do that. So if you enjoyed it, you can go and do that. And of course, Liquid IV, sugar-free. But Friday wasn't just the big night of the bank holiday.

9:47No. Saturday night was even bigger. Saturday night, yeah, Pippa, Sam and I were at a birthday party, which was lovely. Jack and Tally and that were there. Otherwise, you're taking control of this one, Pete. Well, absolutely. I don't need to talk about my private life, but we were at a birthday party. Pete was there. Yes, we were at a birthday party. I was there. Pip was there. Pip covered the guest list, I think. It was just us, actually, at a party. It was literally just us and our other halves, mine and Pipas, I mean, at this party, having a great, great time. Dances were had. And, you know, it was a phenomenal evening.

10:33Must say, Jack, Pippa's boyfriend, did the worm on the dance floor. Didn't see that coming. To which he then challenged me. And then I thought, well, I fucking got it. So me and Jack both did the worm on the dance floor. You're completely mis-selling this. They were, like, daring each other to do the worm. But everyone was so worried about you seeing them worming on the ground. Because it, like, wasn't really the setting. Can Jack do the worm? No. You can. I can. You actually can. I've seen you do it. It's actually quite good. I did one revolution. It was one little, like, wreck of one. Then I panicked.

11:07Has Pete seen us because we were embarrassing. It was. And then actually at one point, no, but we weren't that embarrassed because at one point, Pippa, we all danced over to Pete, which was really, really fun. We did the shoulder dance over to Pete. Yeah. There was lots of conversation with a lot of people. And we just, we didn't know a lot of these people. So we went, Pete, Pete. He turns around. I think he was even with, like, well, other people. And he turns his head. and it's me, Tally, Pippa and Jack. Like his home friends, you know, like the home pals are there and he's like, don't fucking embarrass me.

11:42And he turns around with all of these other people and we're just going shoulder pop and go, Pete, look at us do this. It was like, yeah, I mean, the fact that you'd all planned it and then come across the day, it was just a very odd sort of, you know, people just enjoying the soiree and then in the corner we had these two doing the fucking worm and organising which shoulder to bop with first as they all walked in a line towards me it was like Moses parting the sea of people just getting out the fucking way it was very odd Pete sitting there apologising on our behalf and like sorry they're my saying relevant friends I'm so sorry yeah but it was good it was a good night it was a wonderful evening and you know it's a good night when I get thrown up on yeah so that's always always an absolute pleasure.

12:30On the shoes, apparently, this time. Yeah, again, suede shoes. Got to stop wearing the old suede shoes, I feel. I wasn't there for this point, but how did it happen? Well, sort of from the mouth to the shoe. It was kind of, that was the kind of directional flow of it. But yeah, it was just, I don't know what, I'm like a magnet for vomit. Can I tell you why that is? I know why that is, by the way. Because you're a very nice person, Pete, and you're attracted on a night out to vulnerability in people because you want to help them. So that sounded, no, but I said at the end, I saved it at the end because I said because you want to help them.

13:07You're attracted on a night out when they're hammered. Pete's attracted to their vulnerability. You know what I mean? Oh, you're trying so hard to pay him a compliment. And I basically call him a predator. Doesn't come naturally that, does it? Do you know what you are attracted to? vulnerable weak people who are drunk but no it's because it's because he wants to help them so Pete will naturally go over to someone who's like who's struggling and be like hey hey can I hey I see you're struggling he'll try and help them he'll sit there and he'll be like is there anything I can do he'll go to like the waiter or something like that and he'll try and help them basically so what happens is you always find yourself out of like the good Samaritan in your heart with the people who are probably going to project off on it more yeah i mean it was it was a sort of a i think i saved that um uh i don't i'm not sure you did i um yeah at one point i had a mop in one hand and a credit card in the other i didn't know where to fucking go with it that is bummed how place to be fucking cleaning and paying in one thing Yeah, that looked like I was springing and wanking.

14:18But yeah, it was nice. I mean, I'm not a massive fan of parties, as we can all probably imagine. So, have you ever had a surprise party? This wasn't a surprise party that we were at, by the way. I have had a surprise party. Someone did it for you? Yes, I've had it. And how was that for you? Did you love it? I hate it. Really? Yeah, I don't. So I know it sounds weird because I know obviously it's, I know in fact I like attention, but that kind of attention is too much for me. I don't like opening presents in front of people. No, no, no. Really don't like it. Fucking awful. Especially when like, I don't even care.

14:56It might be something I really like. It sounds like I don't like it. I get something that I've always wanted and sound like I hate it. Yeah. I don't know what it is, but I'll just give the wrong reaction. But then I walked in and it was with all you. I think you might have been there. it was fucking years ago at Dean Street. I was there, mate, years and years ago. But I didn't arrive for the surprise because I didn't want to. You arrived after, yeah. It makes me surprised. Oh, buddy, it was tough. I literally also, to be fair, it was actually like well thought out. I mean, there were like friends from different groups and stuff like that.

15:28But you know when like you walk in and you're so overwhelmed and you're like, I haven't seen some of these people in a while and like they're different friendship groups. So you're like, oh, oh my God, oh my God. And they all crowd around you. So, yeah, for me, I don't know if you'd believe it, but surprise, I can see you struggling. I could just combust. It is fucking overwhelming. Yeah, melting. Yeah, yeah. It is probably my biggest. If you have one. I'd leave. Mate, honestly. I'd walk in. Surprise. I'd walk back out. Pete's birthday. Pete's birthday coming up, guys. We have to. No, no, no, no, no.

16:06No, like, I don't celebrate my birthday. I don't like parties. I've never even had a party, like an actual party for my birthday. I've never had a meal for my birthday. I've never done anything for my birthday. The sort of a surprise birthday party makes me sweat. We've got to do it. No. We've got to do it. It's one surefire way to ruin my birthday and make sure that I never speak to you again. Imagine being you. And it's the same with presents. I don't like getting presents. I can't remember the last time I had a present. I just don't like the whole thing. But other people, I like their birthdays.

16:41I do like other people's birthdays because it's nice to celebrate someone. But I would never organise a surprise birthday party for anyone. I hear you. I just think, I think, I don't know. I can't imagine who likes a surprise birthday party. Do you know what? This sounds really bad. People who like surprise birthday parties are... But do you know what? I actually think they're very normal people. No, I do. Because I think most people are scared of that. They want to date us about them. Yeah, but it's about them if you just have a birthday party. but the surprise surprise oh you've got to be Piff would love it actually Piff would fucking love it no I wouldn't I don't like surprises oh wow I'm surprised at that I like to be I'm surprised I like to I like to like prepare I want to get my hair done I want to buy an outfit especially I'd be so pissed off if I yeah I'd be so pissed off if I walk in and it's like everyone I know and everyone's taking photos and stuff and I'm like fucking hell I look clapped but you always look clapped yeah well obviously door wide open there but I would hate it Josh No I don't like That's enough mate Josh No Kira would you like it No No My mum Did she liked it I think as you Maybe as you get older Yeah I think as you get older Because you know why Because there's less stress You don't care You don't care But also I feel like Because you haven't seen Quite a few people In quite a long time It's just nice to be Like acknowledged Unless you get older as well There's less people Because people die a long way Yeah My dad wouldn't have Many people to turn up Well do you know I actually There was one time Where Pete really liked A present no I got him it was when after he came to the jungle and I got you that Cartier bracelet which you don't wear anymore but yeah but it was awkward the way you gave it to me I was really awkward I really struggled to give it to him what did you do so it was outside it was outside the pod actually when we were doing it in Golden Square and I went Pete can I have a word with you really quickly he was like yeah sure what do you want but do you know it wasn't that it wasn't that it was the fact that this is an awkward fucking thing today but I remember trying to say the words I remember trying to say the words to Pete and like, and like not being able to like, I just kept on saying, I was just basically saying, thank you so much for coming to Australia.

18:43I really appreciate like you being there for me, means of the world to me, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, I just wanted to get you this gift. But like, that would have been perfect. What I just said there actually would have been fine. I spent five minutes trying to explain how I felt in my soul and couldn't do it. Gave it to Pete. And Pete, to be fair, welled up. Yeah. I think, thank you presents, I think are like easier to do with than like a birthday or Christmas. Do you know what I mean? because I feel like birthday and Christmas presents are like, I almost feel like people have to do it.

19:11So it's, do you know what I mean? Like a thank you is like you're doing something. Does that make sense? So it means more. Whereas birthday, you have to give something or you have to do something. And then it's just a bit fucking, oh. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Honestly, I'm sweating now. The salt of it, honestly. That's the last thing anyone's ever bought me. Was that three years ago? That's awful. We step up. But pre that, I don't think I've had a birthday present for 20 years. Genuinely. You hate birthdays. You've never experienced one. No, no, no. Because I don't want people to do that.

19:46And like I don't, it's just, but thank you is different. Thank you is really lovely. And that was really, really, really lovely. Well, it's so nice that you don't wear it. And very unexpected. Well, I've gone rose gold now. Do you still have it? Or is it gone? Yeah. Oh, God, I'm like that girlfriend. You know, the girlfriend goes, oh, have you lost it then? You've lost it. Like, I don't even care. But now I feel like I do. If I wear the other watch, I'll put it on. Yeah, of course. It's lovely. It's lovely. Of course I've still got it. It's real nice. That's sweet, isn't it? But yeah, really, really nice.

20:14So yeah, and I love buying things for people and doing things for people. But even I find birthdays and Christmas are a struggle to know what to get because I don't know. It's just difficult, isn't it? With thank you. There's normally a reason you're thanking someone so you can kind of figure out. I don't know. It's just fun. Birthdays and Christmas, it's just a lot, isn't it? Do you know what I'd love to see? because in that sort of same vein-ish of like surprises, you know when people like come up to you on the street with like a mic and they're like, and they ask you for like really like, what's not cringe, but they ask you these really like heartfelt things.

20:47It's like, what advice would you give like to know? Tell someone you love them today. What would you do if someone approached you out of nowhere and you didn't want to be approached with a mic? And they were like, hey, like what's like, what's something you tell your younger self or something like that? Because I just, in my head, I can imagine, because it's happened to me a few times where someone with a mic would just come out of nowhere. I've had, but I've never stopped. Oh, you carry on walking? Bit busy. Thank you so much. Lovely, love the shows. Have a great day. What do they run after you?

21:16Yeah. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but.

21:22Just speeding up, power walking through it. I can imagine Pete with his briefcase just really striding and just being like, you're not going to catch me, mate. Listen, when I'm on a ride, I'm not a juggernaut. I don't stop. I'm going. All right, well, give me a question then and I'll answer for... Do you remember when someone stopped you outside radio? Someone stopped me outside of radio and gave... Oh, I've seen this in the doorway, but she was a big fan of you anyway. No, guys, someone stopped me out. Oh, I've seen one of the girls. That was really nice. That was really lovely. I was going to say that.

21:49She just wanted to say hi. Someone stepped out and someone gave me and filmed it for miles away as well. So I didn't realise, right, there was a camera fucking like 50 metres away. and he gave me a piece of paper and I opened it and it was like tell yourself you like love yourself or something like it was like so one of those things we open up and it was like it was like give yourself some self-love today and like and they film your reaction so like they open it so you open it up and they secretly film so sorry okay because it's so someone gave you a thing and then walked off and then they're filming you open without you meant to be known and so you open it And what they try and get, what they're hoping to get, is you're opening the paper and a smile.

22:35And they're like, no, we've just made someone's day. And I opened it. And to be fair, I was like, well, fair enough, nice. Imagine that guy comes over to Pete, gives him a piece of paper. Pete doesn't know he's being filmed. Pete opens it up. What face do you think you would give? It's like a really corny fucking like, tell your, like, tell, I don't know, like, you're worth it. What is it? It's like, just know how loved you are. Exactly. It's that. It's exactly that. Oh, fuck off. He would literally be on cameras crumpling the paper and stamping on it. Burning it. Burning it. Yeah, with his cigarette.

23:13Mate, I would do anything for someone to give you one of those pieces of paper. Because I was so confused as well. I just couldn't understand it at all. There's one that fucks me off. I don't know where to get onto this, but I see them all the time. there's one that really gets on my fucking nerves because it's obviously so set up but um i can't remember his fucking name and it's the loveliest thing i've got i love old people but old people are always just so fucking nice aren't they but there's a guy that walks around and films himself giving flowers to old people oh oh i know exactly the videos you're talking about i love the idea of doing that yeah i genuinely do because what a fucking beautiful thing and Old people are a fucking generation of people we forget about and they know so fucking much.

23:59They're lovely. But filming yourself do it makes me want to beat you with the flowers. Do you know what I mean? Let them have their fucking day and do the nice thing. But it's people filming things like that or doing things like that. It's the same as people giving food to people at the home. I love the sentiment of it, but the filming of it makes me want to die because then you sit there and you're like well it's just like oh god you're such an angel on earth and what if you were you'd just be doing it do you know what i mean i fucking hate it but there's also oh i don't know if i can say it one i'm now racking my brain to see whether i've done that i don't think i have there's one dude i know who has he went in sainsbury's and made someone film him hug somebody he was like film film this film and he got filmed saying to the cameraman, film this, film this, film this.

24:53It's, yeah, it's just a bit... But I do quite like some of them, like, interviewee type things when they actually speak to people and actually just ask them their lifestyle. Do you know what I mean? If you're happy to be... But it's the, like, meta glasses. It's always them people, like... Well, you can get done by the fucking metas, man. Do you know what I mean? Like, this is the thing. Like, oh, terrifying. Anyone comes up to me with glasses, I'm like, take them off. Yeah. Take them off and point them to the floor. But I can't say, take them off. Yeah, because you don't know. Well, maybe that's what mine are.

25:21I haven't got the slightly little glasses on today, but maybe they're slightly little meta glasses. You just don't know, though. It's scary. Because you could do anyone, everybody's fucking filming nowadays. Yeah, it's, but yeah, it's a weird, weird old, weird old thing, really, all of that. God knows what the next generation, I don't know how Olive and Rose are going to cope because everyone's going to be filmed. Olive and Rose. Do you know what I mean? They're going to be kind of leaving school soon. We're doing GCSEs at the moment, aren't they? GCSEs coming up. Do you know what I mean? and it's the big wide world they're about to step into.

25:50So if you're new to listening to this podcast. Welcome. Yeah, welcome. Thank you for joining. Why has it taken so long? And Olive and Rose are actually our make-believe kids. Rose for Sam, Olive for me. They're our daughters and they're just about to do their GCSEs. They are. Okay, actually, this is great. How is Rose getting on? Is she confident? I was just about to ask you the same question. How's Olive revising? Well, she's been out a lot but she's good with the exams. Yeah. She's good. She's a clever girl and she's really just looking for the main, the big three. Anything on top of that sort of bonus.

26:24But we're expecting A's in. Oh, are we? We're expecting A's, are we? In maths, English and science, yeah. Oh, nice. Okay. Yeah, you're just the three big three. And then anything after that. I mean, you know, all the other minor subjects no one cares about. Oh, well, that's where mine excels. I imagine yours is going to be great at sociology and religious studies. Yeah, RS and history as well as English language. yeah yeah she's yeah big on I imagine yours would be quite good at literature she does a lot of reading she's the only one I got an A in yeah did you really yeah because the only A I've ever had was was GCSE English Lit stop it yeah was it only A I've ever had I got A's in all the big three and they were the only ones that I did you fucking suck man fuck's sake um how you didn't go to school yeah they're the only three that I sat god you did the lit thing just saying yeah Do you know why I did that though?

27:19Because I spat on myself. Wasn't trying to be a... Dude, I was in boarding school. I could feel it dribbling into my little soul patch. Pete, I went to boarding school. I got no grades, man. So bad. But English Lit, I was really proud of that. But yeah, to be fair, I'm just good in exams. But how does that make sense? You've got to revise for them. Otherwise, you don't know what's going on. If you pick stuff... Because really, I'm like... I shouldn't really be saying this, but... GCSE's not hard. Oh, wow. contentious I don't know now because obviously my mum are 23 22 Pete did it when it was called O-Levels 22 years ago but I think if you and listen I'm alright on paper I'm alright at stuff and I get some people are not good in like those sort of situations but because I'm alright in them situations you know it's not too bad just because I retain information it's not about being clever like I think Jesus it's retaining information more than anything when you start going uni and stuff then it's different because there's a lot going on.

28:17GCSEs is can you retain the information? It's can you remember the crap that someone's told you? But fundamentally, it's not super difficult. Do you know what I mean? I would have loved for me and you to be brothers. Like, let me land with this because my sister used to have to go, I was not very good at maths and most things. Yeah, but it's not that you're not good at maths. No, it's terrible. Yeah, but you're fine. Like, you're not stupid. No, no, but like with sums and stuff, just I'm so heavily dyslexic. But GCSEs is more about the practical, like how you do it. You need compasses and protractors, mate.

28:51I want to clip up Pete saying GCSEs on hard and get him to sit a paper. Oh, my God, yeah. Yeah. Oh, fuck. I fucked myself. No, Pete's kind of personal go and revise. Yeah. But I didn't for my actual GCSEs. No, what I mean by that, because taking that out of context, that's going to sound really bad, is that you have been learning specifically for these exams. Yeah. So everything that you're learning is retaining that information. It's not putting it into, do you know what I mean? When was the last time you put trigonometry into your actual life? You don't. But you have learnt it for three years.

29:27So it's, can you retain how you do something? So when you're in that kind of mindset of learning specifically at school to get to a GCSE, you've got five years of just retaining the information you've picked up. None of it put into a practical situation. You would have a fucking clue how to do. Yeah. But just to retain that. So if you spent five years, you just kind of passively pick it up, don't you? Like a little bit. I get it. If you've got that brain. But some people don't. That's why the revision, I was terrible at revision and all that sort of. Coursework fucking didn't end any in. Coursework.

29:59Do you know what I mean? Like it was like that. Just fucking motor. Imagine Pete doing coursework. I just can't fucking see it. When you get to uni and stuff, then it's fucking hard. Because it's specific within a thing. And then you have to have your own form, your own opinions. And you have to do based on what you know. So with GCSEs, it's just kind of like, do this, do this, do this. Did you ever do religious studies?

30:19Yeah. Yeah, I think everyone does. But I think, do you get an option to stop that in year nine? Yeah, you do. Actually, that's a really good point. Yeah, I mean, I stopped that as soon as I fucking could. Yeah, I did. History, did you do history? Yeah, stopped that again, I think. The big three. Yeah. Well, I think what you pick, do you pick up stuff in year nine, don't you? Yeah. Yeah. so I picked maths no I picked business sorry alright yeah and French weirdly French yeah that did you ever have to speak did you ever have to speak to the you know when you have to do oral French dude I used to sit there I used to put English words in French accents so like they'd be like they'd be like so ask to go to the library right ask me where the library is And I would literally be like,

31:14Où est directionné dans le librairie? Le librairie? And she would literally be like, in the exam would be like, you're saying English words. Because sometimes there would be an English word, which is just like, I think it was bibliotech, wasn't it? But like there would be a couple of words that would be English, just sounding French. and I used it for fucking everything. It was, yeah, I failed heavily in that. But you sat opposite. But let's say Olive, right, is in exam season. Are you like taking a phone away? Are you like, are you being strict? Are you like, no, I'm going to leave you to your own devices?

31:53Do you know what? And especially, and this is going to sound like a real fucking wokey fucking thing to say. Oh, hello. Back then, so we're going back 22 years, it was just do the fucking work, do the exam. Now we know more about people learning in different ways. do you know what I mean like the way I learn is I have to read something and then I retain information so you're an old school learner though yeah but then some people learn in different ways so depending on what your kid is point to me but yeah but it's true do you know what I mean like you might learn by talking it through with someone visual for me yeah or visual like it's kinetic learning all that sort of stuff so whatever your kid is trying to work that out and then helping them do it that way forcing someone to just sit there and fucking take them to find a way would that work with you?

32:38Mate, it used to actually make it worse. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, and that's the thing. So actually with your kids, finding out how you learn things, because even now we do it. Like when we do jobs together, you know what I'm like? I read, I write, I make notes, and I put it so it's, and then it's in my head. What do I do? Well, at this point, you're normally hugging everyone. But like, you'll need it just before you do it. On the fly. Yeah, yeah. But also, But also you'll read it literally just before you go on camera or literally just before. You'll have like a thing, but you won't retain it.

33:13No. Whereas I could read it a week before. Yeah. And as long as I've read through it like thoroughly, I'll remember it a week later. Does that make sense? So I don't know why I've made this a serious thing. But yeah, learning how your kid learns and then helping them do it that way, forcing people to sit and fucking do this. It's not going in. It doesn't matter how long you sit and do it. What if you know Olive's got the, she's got she's got the intelligence but she's just naughty and so she would rather go out or she'd rather not be bothered and you're like no but I need you to because a lot of kids me included you we never thought it was that important because when you're a kid you don't but you as an adult do it's very important so how are you making her you know so it's not about she's not like me she's like you she can sit there if she revised she would do well but she just can't be fucked and she's like being a little bit Are you nicking her phone?

34:06Are you saying you're not allowed to go out? I think it's really easy in the easiest way, especially if she's like me, bribery. Oh, nice. Yeah, okay, cool. Money. Yeah, cash. Yeah. So if you pass your exams. Cash. Do you want a car? Yeah. Oh, nice. And what car do you want? No. What car is she starting on? Something similar to me. I had a Peugeot 206. I was a few years before you, so that was my second car. I was a Renault Clio Extreme oh wow I thought it'd be a Vauxhall Corsa everyone had a Vauxhall Corsa no I went for a Renault Clio Extreme because of the turquoise interior and the Extreme it was still just a 1.2 neon under lights there was a spoiler on it the fucking lock black tech windows with a neon like that you're such a cow black aloes yeah then I went for a 206 GTI oh wow nice mate fucking that thing was rapid 2 litre then you got 2 litre turbo suede in Sierra really so what are you getting Olive um um she's Fiat 500 I don't think Olive's a Fiat 500 I think I think it's Rose a Fiat 500 I think Rose yeah Rose is a Fiat 500 yeah Olive drives a pickup truck she drives a Ford Ranger and gave birth in the back seat she's no no no no no of course she didn't why did she give birth in the back seat who's driving if she's giving birth in the backseat.

35:32Her boyfriend. He's giving birth in the backseat? No, he's driving. He's driving. No. If Olive wanted to do Towie.

37:43Fucking no chance. Love Island. No chance. They can do well.

37:52okay it would depend on her mentality for going in if she went and said do you know what i want to go for the experience i'll make a few quid and i want to see a bit of fucking life afterwards you get to go and call brand trips and shit i'll be like crack on girl yeah happy days if she was like i'd if she knew what she was getting into yeah do you know what i mean like and and and also I wouldn't want her to be doing it until she was 23 at least. Yeah. Yeah. She needs five, like all these like young, no chance. Towie. And also I'd sit down and explain the death threats, the fucking hate, the everything else and be like, it's up to you, but this is what it's going to be.

38:31I would put her off as much as possible when she still wins. So I'd be like, I'll be your number one fan. Would you go in? Yes. The family and friends.

38:40If she wanted me to. someone get knocked up by Pete now because I need this in my lifetime I need to see Pete as a family and friend coming in to his daughters it's like when Danny Dyer went in to go meet Jack Fincham like I need to see that I um yeah would you try and scare him would you be like well good what if you're treating her a little bit badly what in there yeah well I'd pull him up would you pull him up it's not my first rodeo I'm really at your TV mate no would you be like you fucking prick no obviously not Would you bring me out? You'd bring me out, wouldn't you? I imagine. Well, God, Father and Father.

39:18Double trouble. Well, no. No, no. We'd do Bad Boys 2. No. You know that scene? No, that's precisely why I wouldn't bring you out. All right, so let's reverse this then. Rose. Oh, Rose wants to do Love Island. Well, let's go back to the GCSE bit because that would be sort of a dream for you. Rose doing Love Island. Can you imagine? Jesus Christ. He'd set her up with four. she'd have an agent before she went in she'd have an agent before she went in she'd be set up there'd be fucking do you know what I mean there'd be stuff on the pipeline already happening she'd be in there he'd have a whole social media team this SR would become Rose's social media team Hannah would be working day and night clipping stuff up do you know what I mean Josh would be there doing all the viewing parties that Sam's having he'd be interviewing some of his famous friends watching the viewing party there'll be a whole campaign what's that film with Will Ferrell and the other geezer like campaign manager yeah that's such a good movie mate Sam would have a whole campaign and Christ the disappointment if she didn't win no not at all oh fuck off Sam no not at all don't give me that do you know what the funny thing is do you know what the funny thing is is Pete's made all those gags I know that because you'd be godfather you'd be doing the exact same thing for Rose Pete would be there Pete would be more of a fucking a cheerleader for Rose than anything else yeah I'd be a cheerleader if my kid went into love island You'd fucking come in with me for family and friends.

40:40I bring you in. Are you joking? Well, right. Let me tell you why, all right? Let me tell you why. You think I'm fucking stupid. Why? Let me tell you why. Firstly, listen, if it was Godfather, of course, you know, I would be very, very happy for Rose and I'd be supporting her. Do I need to be there? Yes. No, no. And the same for you. Do you need to be there if I had to go in? No. But would we both probably be there? Yes. Why? Because it would get more views. Yeah. That's why. when they roll out the two old reality TV has-beens of yesteryear and there we are and it would be it'd be like fucking I'm a celeb all over again wouldn't it that fucking moment on the fucking bridge and all the other crap but we'd be doing it it wouldn't be about the fucking Rose and Olive but everyone would be talking about it would be like well if that's fucking Pete's goddaughter then we've got to fucking vote for her if that's Sam's fucking daughter we've got to vote for her how fun would that be I'd bring Pete out it'd be nothing to do she'd be like Rose would be like why have you bought Uncle Pete I'd be think of the views Rose think of the views think of the optics girl think of the optics she's like your daughter she's fucking not she fucking is she's not she is Olive would be like dad don't embarrass yourself again on TV you've already been cancelled four times I'm talking about Rose Rose is like no but Olive would be why are you going to see Rose oh she'd be at home going dad come on mate fucking let me cousin have a fucking bit of time it ain't about you It ain't about you.

42:07You've had your time. Let someone else take over. You'd be there going, I'm still here. I'm still here. Whilst you're packing your bag. Fucking Sam would be there. He'd be, can I take a water bottle? Sam would be hosting after some, popping in for him fucking self. The best thing is that Pete would be there for Rose. He would. I know he would. Pete would be there in a fucking heartbeat. If anyone fucked Rose off, Pete would be there and he'd be like, no, I'm not having this. He'd push me. You'd be one hell of a godparent. Of course he would. Pete would be there in a fucking heartbeat. He'd be there with Hannah.

42:39He'd be looking over Hannah's shoulder. I'd be the one actually being like, Pete, look mate, we look like we're doing too much. Hannah, do you know what I've seen that I think we should do? And that's why I love him. That's why you'd be my godfather. Not my godfather. Why you'd be Rose. And do you want to do... It'd be a bit weird if you become my godson at 34 years old. Do you know what the weird thing is though as well? You're really planning on being in that will, aren't you? Do you know what the weird thing is as well? The weird thing is that Rose, when we turned up we'd be like oh for fuck's sake they've both come but then she'd have a smile on her face and she'd be like I'm kind of happy but Uncle Pete's here and then we'd be there and she'd cry because we'd feel like we'd be giving her home I'd cry because I'm emotional she remembers all the barbecues that we've all been to together Uncle Pete's there and she's like oh my god and then the guy would get a little bit nervous because Pete probably would be a little bit like and I'd be like no Pete come on and be like no mate it'd be fucking great imagine I'm the fuck me Olive and Rose are back yeah they are we're so back imagine I'm the boyfriend and you're so Rose is sat here I'm the boyfriend do you want to walk in and shake my hand and show me how you do it alright so have I got you there or am I on my own here you're on your own how are you treating her let's it's been turbulent so so I I I went to the fuck house and then kissed a couple of people despite being exclusive with her.

44:09And you can tell you don't really like her. And then I made four girls a coffee in one morning. Fucking hell. And I told her to slow down because she was coming on a bit too strong. Ventured somewhere else and I don't know. It didn't work. Rubbed someone's shoulders and then went back to her. But now I'm convinced she's the one. But I don't think you are. I don't know. I mean, you tell me. Cool. All right. Ready? Okay, so pretend you're coming round the corner, alright? And then I'm just sitting here. So I'm sitting here with Rose. Hey! How are you? Hi. Nice to meet you, mate.

44:52Talk to my girlfriend like my girlfriend. I don't like that. I swear to God, I will fucking... I'm an eager ass. What's going on here? Sorry. I'm so sorry. No. Oh, no. It wasn't even worth it. No, it wasn't. Because that's how I deal with...

45:20That is a broken man in the villa. That's how I deal with that situation. Good.

45:32So the garden's looking good. I wouldn't be able to see it, but from what I hear, it's going great. It's not actually. It's really delayed. The garden is going to be great. Fucking Lazy Eye is going to be really going for it because this is doing a lot of work this one now. Why? And that is the weak one. How is it? Did I rub it? What, you mean? You mean when you crawled over me? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Sorry. Let's talk about you then. Oh, fuck me. Issues we've got at the minute. What have we got? In the Thompson household. You are causing a big stir around the Fulham area. Why? The noise. Oh, no, piss off.

46:17Lots of noise complaints coming from the Thompson household. Pneumatic drills, drills, builders. They should be used to it, but I know because I've been there for five years. But the garden has started. The garden has started. The neighbours are not happy. No, one neighbour's not happy because she's a fucking Karen. That's my sister, by the way, who watches and listens to this podcast. Louise, you are such a Karen. Apparently you're keeping their child up. Keeping it? Husband. Oh, so all the years. I'm just saying the neighbours are not happy because they're struggling to put their child to sleep.

46:50Is that what they said? Their dogs are going mad about the situation and it is encroaching on family barbecue times because there is constant noise next door. Now, anonymous neighbours these are. So we don't know which side it is. But yeah, I mean, have you got anything to say? Yeah, absolutely. Is this genuinely true? It's just the neighbours around the area. Louise has complained to me. No, mate, they're anonymous. The neighbours have just said that their young child, their young blonde child and their two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are struggling with the noise next door. The barbecues are being ruined by constant repetitive banging.

47:34So it's becoming, you know, increasingly difficult to enjoy life living next to a building site. Well, my response to that, I suppose, to whoever these non-people are, would be like, oh no, not the child who's kept me up screaming for the past four and a half years every morning. Not the dogs, not the dogs who bark at 5am every morning. for having to just, you know, maybe hear a little bit of drilling every now and then for two and a half weeks, Louise. She's such a Karen. She's such a Karen. So you don't like your nephew then? I adore him. Well, but he's been screaming for a while. And I deal with the screams.

48:15And I deal with the screams. So talk to us about the garden because what's been going on there? How are the bees getting along? Do you know what? I've just asked - Any honey yet? I've just asked for lavender so the bees can go in. So you're not actually going to get a beehive? No, I'm not going to get a beehive. Okay. Why did we decide away from getting a beehive in the four foot space that you have outside? Because I don't have enough space. Right by the back door. I did ask about the beehive and they said there's not enough space. It's amazing that, isn't it? There's not enough space for it to safely, apparently, cohabitate.

48:47Well, yes, because they'd be in your fucking house. I don't mind bees, so I'm cool with it. What about the cats? Yeah, that's a good point. yeah the cats can't eat bees but like yeah but but but genuinely i i i don't mind about bees so i was quite happy to have bees just cohabitating with me but clearly they can't well yeah i mean i i just think quite selfish um the amount of work you've had done you know as if you live next door a young family live next door to a young family either side two young families but Specifically one family. And also, listen, they've got very strenuous jobs. One's a writer.

49:28And it's... That's Ryan, by the way, who put up a story going, all this noise next door and I'm just trying to write. Yeah. One, you know, one's a writer. An author. I can't fucking hear because of these drills next door. By the way, it's a Tuesday afternoon. Most people are there nine to five at this point. That's why builders work midweek because normally at home. But on a serious note, it looks like, I mean, it's a big job. It's not a big job. No, I'm not even taking the piss of what I've left that bit. But I mean, they've literally stripped the entire garden. It's quite a big job. Louise actually genuinely did complain to me.

50:02This is fucking mental. She had to film some stories, right, about me. Actually, no, I was in some of the videos, actually, to be fair. But she was like, we can't have the builders on Thursday. So I had to pay the builders for not being there because I had to cancel them. how mad is that on a weekday this is you know living in close quarters in the Thompson cult isn't as happy as it may seem I've got all happy families the only time we ever argue is when it comes to building it's the only time me and Louise ever argue we never ever argue but when it comes to building a wall or when it comes to putting a fucking aircon unit on a roof it's like it's like she hates my guts I mean all I'm gonna do is play devil's advocate and say that you have had builders in for five years straight.

50:49They haven't been in for at least a year. Oh, no, the kitchen. Fuck off, Sam. They have been there on and off. I would say there's probably two or three weeks respite before you go, oh, fuck it. Let's do that again. But still, and also, you know, summer is the time. We're just starting to get the summer weather. People are starting to get outside. but still two and a half weeks that's all it's going to be another two and a half now give me how long have they been there already they've been there for two weeks ok so excellent so five weeks nice good management there two and a half weeks still give me the vision I hear that the vision is Mediterranean paradise ok I've got such a vision I've got CAD drawings but I'll show you later so god please don't So paving stones on the first half and then herringbone Mediterranean sort of red brick.

51:48Herringbone, that famous Mediterranean pattern. No, it is. It is actually. So herringbone, what's it called? Terracotta, small little tiles going all the way up the back of the garden. A barbecue on the right. I've got a water feature coming down the middle. Different to the water feature you had three years ago. Yeah, it could be nicer, yeah. And then loads of flowers. The second water feature in three years? Yes. Third. Third water feature in three years, yes. And then loads and loads of flowers going all around the side and all around the back. Oh, where's it going? Floras? Loads of flora. Flora and fauna everywhere.

52:23Wow. Okay, wonderful. Is that wise? Yeah, because I'm putting an irrigation system in, so I don't have to actually do the thing myself. Okay, good, because your bonsai's dead. I know. Well, no, that's Pippa's fault. I'll be honest with you. I looked at it this morning. I am going to take it home and revive it. Good. Nice. I think we should. Pippi, you fucked it. You fucking killed it. You put electrolytes in it. That was an accident. So you did do it. Well, actually, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, Sam. You left it out on the window ledge in blaring sunlight and it's burnt the leaves and it's dried.

52:56Yeah, he did say these leaves have been burnt. And I said... You can burn leaves, you know that. It's in direct sunlight. It's caused a real issue. So all I'm saying is, how are you going to get on with an entire flower bed? system, mate. Yeah. You know, I'm going to be honest with you, it's set me back quite a lot, but this is what we're doing. It's okay, you're loaded. This is my summer holiday. I said to Tali, by the way, this is awful. I went, no summer holidays. That is nice though, yeah, in your new relationship which you're yet to be on holiday, you've yet to go on holiday for, and instead what you've gone and got is lavender.

53:29I bet she's over the, she is over the moon, the girl, all right? And any time she goes, God, I'd love to be away, smell the lavender. She wanted a new garden. So I was like, okay, fine. Did she? So you're doing her place as well. She's basically moved in. And here we are. Not officially. Okay. So, all right. Unofficially. So unofficially, she wanted a new garden. So are we going to have a T and an S in the terracotta paving slabs? No. How's that going to be working around? Absolutely not. Yeah? No. You could do Sam Thompson though. ST. No, I don't want any fucking names. but also it was my decision but she was like oh that'd be a lot it was your decision to do the garden in your house yeah but that's good yeah no it's not like she didn't demand it but she was like oh that'd be nice I was like okay I'll do it for us when I get like I get hyper focused on things and so like when I heard that she was like really excited she was like oh that'd be really cool if you do the garden I was like okay cool and then like it made me really excited to do it have you tried the do you fancy going on holiday because I imagine that excitement we do have a holiday coming up yay fuck me we do have a holiday coming up it's only going to be a long weekend please tell me it's not with your entire family no it's not by the way that whenever we go with the entire family it's not me who suggests it it's Louise and Tally who are like oh we should book this Sam we never do anything where are you off to well I'd like to go to Marbella ok alright only just because it's close well yeah and it's your you know you grew up there you like it there well not grew up there but you spend a lot of time there you know it Marbella you and I have been to Marbella very good holiday there's a place in Italy I'd like to go as well you can create some really lovely slow down Go on the first one.

55:05Maybe the Italy one actually would be more prevalent between the two of them. So we've got a bit of time off in July. Bloody hell, here we go. So there is lavender, gardens and holidays on the horizon, as well as key giving. No, there hasn't been a key given. There hasn't, but there is like one. Nothing like a summer key giving ceremony, which we're all invited to. Well, actually, talk about summer ceremony. Maybe you could do it over barbecue. you can invite all your friends there and we can do a big TikTok about it. If it's a bloody summer key giving then of course I wouldn't miss an event like that.

55:43You must be joking. That's up there with birthdays, christenings and fucking funerals. The summer key giving? Of course. Fucking hell. It's like the summer solstice. It's an absolutely magical time of year that is. And honestly, some of my best nights have been at summer key givings. I always remember this one years ago. It was incredible. The way they did it and a dove floated the key in from above and it was amazing. And then we all set off different poppers. Yeah, of course. Different colours because we had to guess what colour the key ring was and it was like, oh, what could it be? Three, two, one.

56:15Red! Oh, I didn't think it would be red. It was amazing. Oh, mate. Well, I'm very glad that you've agreed to come then. That would be really, really nice. We should do it just after your book tour. I'm going on a book tour? A press tour. Oh, yeah. I was just like, fuck I didn't know that I wasn't aware I was going on a book tour so just in case you're not aware Sam you've got a book coming out yeah You Me and ADHD is out on the 14th you'll be doing the kind of full press run of things I imagine you're going to be sat on the sofa this morning and the one show and doing all them sort of things how are we feeling are we excited are you nervous I'm really nervous been you nervous no do you know what I'm not when I announced it I was more way more nervous than I am now because I just I've said this to you before, I just want people to like it.

57:02And I actually just don't want people to hate it, actually. And if it can help a young me, then I'm so happy. I just, what I really don't want, I'm terrified of the space. That's what I'm scared of, is like, I know these circles are like dominated with people who like, it's their life, right? and I just want to make a small difference to people who are younger versions of myself. I'm worried that someone's going to be like, oh, you can't do that or you said the wrong thing there. You're like, oh, fuck. Yeah, all I'm going to say on that thing is, yes, it may be other people's lives to advocate for different people in kind of different areas and that is wonderful, but also this book is your life.

57:48Yeah. It's something that you've had to deal with. So don't ever feel like you don't deserve to be in a place. I sometimes have imposter syndrome with it. Yeah, but I think you have imposter syndrome with everything. But like genuinely, but this is an area that you really shouldn't. Because actually, regardless, this has been your experience and this is something you want to do. You know, you haven't just decided to. If I suddenly wrote a book on ADHD and me, people would be like, what the fuck do you know about it? And I'll be like, well, I've got a friend that's got ADHD. It doesn't make a difference.

58:20you've lived with it your entire life so you're more than um you have more than just a right to be able to discuss this and actually your reasons for doing it are incredible so regardless of that i know it's really easy for me to say forget that more importantly what you're doing is for such an amazing reason you know i mean and like you said even if it helps one person then then it was worth you doing so if you get loads of people that dislike it fuck them because you'll have more people that will like it i promise you and that is what's important now on to something that's more important yeah um sunday times bestseller number two no i don't think that's going to be the case i genuinely don't because i don't know if a book like that well now is the time oh we do like to ask don't we to be fair we never ask of you we don't like to ask much all i'm gonna say is that Sam, who is already a Sunday Times bestseller, Sam and I like to do everything together, I'm very grateful to have had a Sunday Times bestseller with Never Enough.

59:24And I feel like we need to be, between the two of us, three times Sunday Times bestsellers. And I feel like, actually, again, Never Enough was very, very important to me. This is very important to Sam. And I genuinely would love everyone to be able to support Sam, not for that reason in all seriousness, not for that reason, but also because it would mean so much to Sam if you can, you know, anyone that wants to kind of experience that 14th of. 14th of May.
