1:591, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Welcome to Staying Relevant, the podcast hosted by two bestest of best pals. People call us besties. People call us the brothers they always wish they had. Me, Sam Thompson, and Peter, James, Jonathan, Joseph, where? 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. this is the main episode which means it is Monday that this comes out audibly and then you'll be able to watch this on Josh and Keir's YouTube channel from 5pm on Wednesday and then we'll be doing a bonus episode which comes out Thursday audibly and then you can watch on Josh and Keir's YouTube channel from 5pm on a Sunday which means that you can catch us on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday Wonderful, full house like it, happy days make sure you rate, review, do all of that crap I think we're due a review of reviews oh my god no at some point soon okay so maybe we'll look into that and if you want to be a part of that write a review follow do all of that crap you know the score by now they will be swearing if you don't like it piss off just piss off yes piss off just leave us alone and the reason Sam said piss off like that is because he is now one of the royals based on the fact that Sam I think has moved in I'm not entirely sure, but he's at the palace a lot of the minute.

3:27He's actually off to the palace after this, hence why he's in a suit. I think, I think you've been moonlighting. You're not a podcaster, a TV presenter. You're actually King Charles Bodyguard. I've been watching The Crown again. Right, okay. It looks like you're about to either host the news, sell me a house, or you're in court. It's court, isn't it? It's so court. And also, do you know what I've noticed as well? I've learned how to do the royal wave. It's one of these. Wonderful. Philippe. Philippe. Philippe. Philippe. Philippe. I'm trying to get my posh back. Who was that? Was that supposed to be Camilla?

4:04No, that was from The Crown. It's the first Elizabeth. Philippe? The first thing. Okay, excellent. It's in like the first actress who played Claire Foy, I think is her name. Yeah, who played Elizabeth. But I'm trying to regain the posh. Well, since we have gone straight in with the kind of royal thing and you are back in the suit and you are back for a sleepover at the palace today, you actually went with Pippa to the palace garden party. Now, unfortunately, I was unavailable because I was, well, I didn't want to go. Couldn't be arsed. I've been to it before and it is. With me? We went together.

4:44Do you remember that girl? I've been twice before. Fuck me. I didn't even realise that. I forgot I went with you. Do you remember? so I was with Pete right we were in the so in the grounds and I was walking with Pete and I had Pete Wicks I turn around and it's like a middle aged lady in stilettos and she's running across the back Pete I need a photo and she gets her stiletto caught in the mud off the ground her shoe comes off and she leaves the shoe she forgoes the shoe and carries on running helter skelter at Pete to go and get a photo yeah I do remember that And what I do remember as well, I didn't see you for a lot of that thing because you were mostly at the buffet.

5:25Oh, yeah. Now, I believe that that is similar to what happened this time with Pippa because, you know, it's finger foods. You know, there's a reason they're quite dainty. Sort of people just pick and chat and do whatever else. Yeah, but they're getting it wrong. You treated it like you were in a sort of a Chinese all you can eat buffet. Yeah. Where you were loaded up on sort of the veggies first, then went into carbs last because they fill you up. And then desserts all in one. three plates full three plates three plates of me at the royal buffet um the royal buffet it's meant to be it's meant to be little finger foods and i think you're meant to be sort of like quite polite about it starving absolutely starving so went in three plates it's free which is fucking great they had little salmon rolls and stuff and then i gave pippa two of my plates so it looked like she had nicked loads of food i mean um pippa i think it's only when she processed that you had three plates of food that she's mentioned it because at the time I think she'd lost her head um am I right in saying so yeah she did uh Pippa um had just spilt tea all down herself as well because she was um she was she was very excited she had met uh an actress who played Paddington at the West End the cast of Paddington uh the cast of Paddington and she she was over the moon to the point where she literally went can I get free tickets so that was fun yeah no it's yeah she's She's got her number.

6:41When I said to people, how was the Palace Garden Party? And you've not been to the Palace before? No, never. First time. No, no, not been to the Garden Party. First time. She, yeah. You know, if someone goes and experiences something, like these people go, oh, it was just incredible to be inside. And the security, this, that, what she went, I met the cards of Paggington. Yeah. That was the first. Literally what happened. The first thing she said. Yeah. And she also was really excited to meet the king to the point where she was like fighting her way to the front of the crowd. Um, then I lifted her up in the palace ground.

7:14So she got a real good look at the King, which is nice. So anyone that's unaware of what this garden party is about is it, it kind of celebrates, um, you know, lots of different people, you know, some, some really incredible kind of heroes and all sorts of people. Um, and then Sam and Pippa, um, eating the food, meeting the cast of Paddington and giving each other piggybacks. Like a rock concert. So representing staying relevant. Well, but obviously Sam you know it's okay most people are not allowed to do that but Sam being sort of a friend of the family is allowed to do whatever he wants what are you back there for today is just popping round no it's your D of E this today oh yeah yeah the old D of E Duke of Edinburgh Duke of Edinburgh which is so that's going to be really really nice as well taking the girlfriend to this one oh well that's it she got the call up she did okay the rehearsal went well the rehearsal went well and then this time I went on Lorraine actually the day afterwards and Lorraine goes, oh, so obviously you've got your new girlfriend.

8:13Like you seem really happy. I went, yeah. And she went, so you took her to the palace? Because I did take Tally to the King's Trust Awards at the Royal Albert Hall. All of this has happened within the space of three days. Yeah. And I think they got it mixed up and they had a photo of me and Pippa outside parking and palace. I went, no, no, no, not my girlfriend. That's the exec of our podcast who actually is a very good friend of mine as well. But yeah, she had a lovely time. Sorry about the stain down the top. That's coffee. That is coffee, yeah. All down herself. But you've hit the big time, Pippa, with the old daytime TV.

8:45You said I was obsessed with the royal family. Pippa wasn't that bothered by it. Obsessed, felt strong. She was also wearing these open-toed. Yeah, I've heard about this. You haven't said this to me, but you've said it to the team. I've actually screen grabbed some really lovely messages that people send about your shoes, Pippa. and I don't even think they know like the part I think they were just saying like what are those god awful shoes that she's wearing what are those? It was very much a what are those they're literally just black shoes I love you guys but Pippa really does have the most horrific dress sense.

9:21She dresses like a 70 year old. Those in capital letters dreadful shoes with that capital letters dress now I don't agree I thought Pippa looked really lovely. That's more than doesn't like the shoes. The thing is, Pippa. She looked lovely. That's so mean. Pippa, the thing is, I just didn't know how to tell you. Yeah. Your burner. Another one. Who is that? Another one from Jillian. What are those shoes Pippa has on? Internal voice, what are those? And then I stopped actually screaming because I felt mean. Well, thank you. Yeah. Thank you. We avoided you being mean on the pod. Yeah. It was nice though.

10:04It was really nice because obviously like Pippa came sort of cash, which is nice. And like. I didn't go cash. Well, it was just like, do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah. She didn't go cash. They're literally plain black. If you go to the palace. Oh my God. If you go to the palace and they say, what's the dress going on? You go, just cash. Just cash. I'm nonchalant. I'm Pippa. I just opened toed birds. I wasn't cash. I'm on the air for Paddington anyway. Nice. Very nicely done. I really enjoy it when Sam brings receipts. Whatever. Very, very, very good. I imagine people bring some receipts later in the record anyway, so I just thought I'd get mine in now.

10:35Anyway, let's move on from the royal family and we'll get on to... You've been doing the press rounds. Yeah. Oh, I got the book results. Did you think it's Sunday Times bestseller? Yeah. Yeah. Can we say that? Sunday Times bestseller, yeah. I did say that. So that makes you a two-time... Yeah, I know. ...Sunday Times bestseller. Yeah, number three, which I think is all right. That's very, very good. I got beaten by K-pop Demon Hunters coloring book. And apparently they sold like tens of thousands of copies. So the K-pop Demon Hunters coloring book. You have no idea how intense they are. But yeah, like tens of thousands of copies.

11:23Incredible. Well, either way, that doesn't negate from the fact. Fuck you, K-pop Demon Hunters. But it doesn't matter. You're a Sunday Times bestseller. for the second time. I know. And do you know what's so nice, man, is it's like a really niche subject and getting some of the messages I've had in have just been fucking wonderful. Like, mate, people have been sending in kids like reading the book. Like, it's just the most beautiful thing. So yeah, really, really happy with that. So it's been fun. Well, very well done. Would you believe that us two fucking idiots who people look at and think, is that the bloke that was dressed as the inflatable cow and the other one is Inflatable Pig, are three-time Sunday Times bestsellers.

12:04Yeah. It's fucking quite impressive. Touch me. Hold me. Feel me. Squeeze me. We've got a number of world records, you know what I mean? Pod that's won awards. Stick your finger in my mouth. Stick your finger in my mouth. That could be fun. That could be fun for the pod. For the one show in the rain, you did the press rounds. Sorry, the press rounds. You bumped into your nemesis. Roman. Yeah, I did. Roman, how was that for you? It was really, really good. We're going for a Nando's in the... Why are you looking like that? But we are. We're going for a Nando's. Will you ask the waiter to take a picture of you and Roman like you do when you go with Tally?

12:43I did. I did. Yeah, I got a nice photo. He's so tall. He's so fucking tall, that guy. Yeah, yeah. And he's sort of changing his haircut, so hence why you're growing yours out. You're both moving away from the mullet and we're going for the sort of Jacob Lordy mullet now, aren't we? Well, I just... Is that what you both decided? No, I just haven't had a haircut in a while. So it's just grown out a little bit. But I will be going... I think I'll be going back. I'm not quite done with the mullet as of yet. Yeah. But... One of my favourite comments, just whilst we're doing receipts on things, recently that I saw someone put a comment on one of our videos saying, did Sam brush his hair with a balloon?

13:17I saw that! One of my favourites. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's how it's going over here. I actually think your hair looks better like this. balloon than with the mullet it makes you look more distinguished is that something that the royals asked you to do it's not something the royals asked me to do did they say listen we just have one haircut here we don't have three haircuts on one hand mate look after I went this is my third time to the palace so I feel like this time I might even gel it I'm going to have a Pete Wicks gel I'm going to slick my hair back I don't think I have enough hair to slick my hair back but I would love to do that no you do because it's fine at the front the slick back might help it might cover imagine if me and Pete both have curtains oh my god yours wouldn't do it though would it we'd be curtain brothers yeah we would be curtain brothers that thing that close our little blinds everyone wants you also went to the Chelsea Flower Show I did I took mum I know and we love Karen shout out to Karen but as far as I'm concerned we've got a lot to get through here that is the least interesting so she had such a good time my mum would love to go tell you what Chelsea Flower Show very Pete oh my god the amount of of ladies who came up to me going where's Pete then I was like well I don't know I was like I'm not sure if this is his bag I was actually supposed to go again I'm actually annoyingly and you didn't tell me I am annoyingly having to miss lots of social engagements at the minute imagine me and you at the flower show no we should make our own garden you know you can do that Joel Domit's mum's just made her own garden in the flower show well yeah I mean that would yeah that would be incredible but I have seen how you look after a bonsai so good for that Moving on to the next thing on Sam's agenda.

14:57Soccer Aid is coming up. We're back, bitches. Now, we've done a lot of Soccer Aid content on this pod previously, but let's stick to the main things that we want to know. First up, are you planning on touching the ball this year? I'm going to play. I'm going to fucking play this year. You played last year. You played the year before. I'm scoring. So we are going for the score. I'm scoring this year. Third time lucky. Guarantee I'm scoring this year. Guarantee. Guarantee. Yeah. Like shirts coming off. And if you want me to have anything written on my belly. Staying relevant forever. Yeah, staying relevant for SR forever, whatever you want.

15:30SR forever. All right. We actually want footage of you doing that. Fine. As in drawing it on yourself. Confident that you're going to be scoring. 100%. I have to. I have to. Because this might be the last one. I feel like this is a good time for us, as you've guaranteed it, to maybe put in a forfeit if he doesn't. Because he has just promised us he's going to score. Well, no. No, no, no, no. What do you mean? Guaranteed. You just guaranteed. So what I think we should do is if Sam doesn't score, maybe write in and tell us what Sam should do if he doesn't score because he has guaranteed it. He's promised us.

16:03No, he's promised us. I have to score. So we're going to leave it for you to write in and tell us what Sam could do if he doesn't. I'm going to dive into the crowd if I do. Okay. Dive in. I'm going to crowd surf those fuckers. aside from you guaranteeing you know a goal for staying around the event I just want it I want it so bad I do a lot for that goal no no we understand but you have just guaranteed it I do a lot for that goal mate yeah well you're going to do a lot if you don't get that goal as well but what we always look forward to with Soccer Aid is not so much the football let's be honest it's the friendships that you make along the way along the way now we've taken a number of friendships and they are real friendships honestly Tom Hiddleston you know it's not imaginary he does know him I know it's tough to believe we talk as long as it's not about this podcast who are we aiming for this year to be honest with you there's a few cool people are there some new new ones in yeah there are there are a few new ones in there you've got the guy who played in F1 did you ever watch the F1 movie Damson Eastwood yes he's the one who played next really cool guy yes a good looking man very well dressed very well dressed Got an incredible jewellery brand.

17:17He does. That I would love some pieces from. Mate, if you want me to get in there with him, man, I will. I would love that, mate. Okay, deal. Yeah, I'm up for that. I'll walk straight up to him and be like, hey, man, we should be best friends. You know what we'll do. We'll go in there strong. Yeah, yeah. Well, he's a cool guy. Yeah, as am I. I'll literally walk in and be like, two cool guys. If you become friends with him, you may become a cool guy. And he's Hollywood. Yeah, he's a good guy. He could fly us to Hollywood. So we're aiming for Dempsey Nidris. Yeah, 100%. Tom Hilton again, of course.

17:44All right, amazing. Training, how's the training? I haven't trained at all. We went on a run, didn't we, Pepper? Well, yeah, I'm just going to get onto it. You've not been training at all for Socrate, but that's because you have been training for something else. The Hackney Half, which we've spoken. No, I just want to put it out there, didn't train. Just slow yourself down, sunshine. Slow yourself down. The Hackney Half, which we have spoken about for months on this podcast, months and months and months. You know, we've heard all about the runs that Sam and Pippa have been going on together and individually with your little vest on, with your little bra.

18:24Well, that didn't fucking help. Well, so obviously, you know, you haven't trained. Yes, you did. You did do some training. So I said to Sam last week, obviously, you know, got the Hackney half, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? because, you know, as a guy that has run from Manchester to London and raised over£2 million for Unicef as a runner, are you going to leave her behind? What are you going to do, man? Are you going to stay with her? He said, yeah, I'll stay with her. I'll stay with her. It'll be fine. It'll be good. And you did stay with her. It was really nice. You actually crossed the finish line in exactly the same time.

19:03And I think you allowed Pippa to maybe finish three people ahead of you in the rankings. I believe that's what it is. but the exact same time, which is amazing because we didn't know who was going to leave who. And it's nice that you didn't do that sprint finish and just blast it like you said you were going to do. So, Pippa, how was it for you? Because I think you had a lovely time. You look great at the end. Thank you very much. You look really, really good. You look like you really enjoyed it. You got a really good time. Just over the two hours. Two hours, three minutes and 19 seconds is the time that you've got.

19:32Yes, which I haven't told you. Nope, but you're talking to a man who likes to research. Okay, good. Equally, you've got the two hours, three, and, you know, for you, slow time. But, you know, with all your sporting prowess. But Pippa, really impressed with how you did. Thank you very much. No, I loved it. I had a great time. I felt good. I had a fucking awful time. Okay, here we go. A fucking awful time. I was wondering when you're going to chime in. Right. Talk to us because you, sir, look like you fucking died midway round and she carried you like a corpse. At the end of it, she looked fresh as anything.

20:05you you looked worse than when you did unicef brother you were fucked mate it was what did you do fucking hop i've ever done it was horrific mate pete i started this thing being like right bippa we're just gonna i'm just here with you like we'll go whatever pace i've got you don't worry i said that i literally went people i'm here i'll hold you i'll hold your waters like Oh, whatever you want. We'll just get you round because it's your first half marathon, right? And we'll just make sure you have a good time, right? She's like, oh, great. Okay, nice one. She's like, I'm really nervous. I'm like, don't be nervous.

20:42You're going to be fucking fine. So we start. I'm like, here we go, Pippa, your first half. Here we go. And we're like, we start running. First, like, 5K is bliss. And we're having a laugh. We're chatting. And I'm saying to Pippa, I'm like, Pippa, you know, let's just really solid pace. And then we get to the last 3K. We'll gas it at the last three. and we'll really do a little bit of a sprint finish for the last 3K. Yeah. It just unraveled so fucking fast. By like 12K in, I turned to Pippa and I went, I got to lock in. Mate, Pippa isn't sweating at all, right? And I've like, suddenly after like even 10 gone, oh, this is quite fucking hard.

21:28then Annalise is on the fucking corner and Galena's somewhere and I've looked at Annalise and I couldn't see her and she was like Sam and I look around I'm dribbling and I'm like oh it was so fucking bad I'm going to be honest with you Sam I I've never been so humble in my life I had a lot of confidence in both of you to have a really good time and to really enjoy it and you know as someone who as someone that was run fucking big distance, like not even, you know, ultra distances. What I didn't expect to have to do was what I did when you did at UNICEF. At one point, I thought she was going to call me midway through and go, you need to turn up and give him a hug just to push him through the next fucking half of the thing.

22:14It was so bad. I am in shock at how bad you looked. Mate. Because he's been saying this to me recently and I keep going, Sam, you look really fucking good at the minute. Like you look fucking pumped. You know what I mean? You've been going on the runs. He keeps going, I'm just really unfair I'm really unfair I thought you were just doing that thing that's like no don't worry about it you are a fuck everyone looks at me you're a fucking mess mate mate Pippa fucking smoked me to the point where we were about 5k out and I turned around to Pippa and Pippa I don't think I can do this anymore oh Jesus Christ she's never on our own go on without me go on without me leave me leave me go on without me multiple times leave me my mum My mum and my dad and my sister were like watching us at multiple points.

23:00You don't know you wasn't there. The second time they saw us, my mum texted me like, is Sam okay? Does he need anything? Like, should we bring him something? And I was like, oh God, is it that bad? Can I just say something? We went way too quick out the blocks. I just want to put it out there now. Well, she seemed fine. I was of the opinion that we were going for a cruise, right? I didn't realise we were going for a fucking PB. I thought we were just going to fucking have a nice little trot around and enjoy ourselves. All I'm hearing is excuses. Dude, I thought we were just going for the vibes.

23:32I didn't realise we were racing. I didn't realise we were racing. So I had to keep up with fucking Pippa. Well, she didn't race you. She stayed with you. I'm sorry. I had to go her pace. All I'm going to be honest with you, I think you could have broke two hours. She could have. I think I could have. Oh, 100%. And that would have been incredible. And I gave that up. But instead, you gave up a sub two hour half marathon. A debut. A debut sub two hour half marathon. You gave that up for dragging this dead weight next to you. There was like a good K where I was like pulling his arm. I'm not joking.

24:09No, that's true. Holding his arm. By the end of it, I was literally like, I can't do it anymore. Pippa, who's never done this before, goes, you can, you can. She went, I hate to do the you can thing, but you can. And I was like, Pippa went, leave me now. Just leave me and let me drop back. I need to just, just let me go at my own fucking pace. And she just wouldn't, she was like, no, we're going to carry on. And then by the end of it, it got so bad. I nearly collapsed at the end when we passed the finish line. Medical tent, calls for the medical tent. Our charity rep, Flory's dad, was there. Flory's dad's like running over, trying to feed Sam like sweets and electrolytes.

24:45He rips his top off, throws his shoes off, throws his socks off. I was like, why is that the solution? Do you know what? I fucking got it. We've come through the finish line, right? And I've literally gone, I can't breathe. And she goes, I can't hear what we're saying. And I'm not talking English. I'm like talking a completely different language. I just think we went too fast. I think we went too fast. anyone listening to this got a picture of Sam after could you send them to me I would love to see some of those I thought I was gonna shit myself some of those photos I genuinely thought this is not a job I'm not saying this for a laugh I took myself off to a corner of the little grass patch where everyone congregates afterwards just to have a little moment to myself and I went really dizzy and I went I need to shit myself listen regardless of of the difference in uh experience that you both had.

25:38I'm very proud of you both. Thank you. Very, very proud of you both. Obviously, you were doing it for Be More Fab, which is a wonderful charity, incredible charity. You've signed up to do another half marathon next year, the Hackney Half. No, we're doing, well, with Be More Fab, we think we're going to do one in October now. Amazing. Whilst we're on the subject of Be More Fab, and just to put some perspective on what you two have done, there is a guy who is running 50 marathons in 50 states in america for be more fab yeah um and is not getting the the fucking plaudits that he deserves yeah henry yeah is that his name yeah henry someone take me in it this morning all of it goes to be more fab which is a friend of this podcast flory who's amazing um but 50 marathons in 50 states that you should offer to do some with i was just going to say maybe we could fly you out there and you could share some of your experiences.

26:30I didn't train. I didn't train enough. And Pippa, no. Sorry, sorry, sorry, Sam, Sam, Sam. We are very proud of you. You had a bad day, alright? Let's put it down to that. You had a bad day. But I am not going to take that I didn't train excuses. I stayed with you. Because I've seen stories of you in your bra, in the park and heard stories of you. So you did do some training. I did some training. Alright? It's not us. It's like me running it and then going, well, I haven't fucking... No, because I was in the pub. You did do some training you had a bad day and that's okay. I know it was worse than a bad day.

27:03Life is all about good days and bad days. I, I, at one point I tried to throw water in my face and missed myself. I don't know how I threw it off my shoulder at someone behind me. Cause I just was so not with it at all. But well, I've got to say, well done Pippa. I just, I just feel like we, we, I didn't realize how seriously you were taking it. Judging by her face afterwards, and before. Lots of smiles. She didn't look that serious. The only serious one, the only serious one was you. Yeah. Hated every second of it. But you did it. You finished it. But you did it. First ten was great. Well, we are very proud of you both.

27:42Thank you. Thank you very much. Oh, fuck. Goddamn. Pete, anyway, it's not just about me. It's about, it's not, you went massively viral recently with Grime Grant, who I feel like I'm losing you to. I feel like I'm losing Pete to the fucking gran and like it's just it's doing me you fucking watch your language and you talk about Margie mate I'm going to tell you right now if she wants to fucking go I'll go she will kick seven bells of shite out of her 82 years old yeah she's she's she's incredible yeah yeah well she's alright she's amazing she's okay so and actually I'm going to give a shout out to Tee with Nan go and watch it because she's just started a podcast and she's fucking brilliant oh Tee with Nan I mean fun she is a wonderful human being as a as a as a as a your best friend yeah it was there's not a choice it's not one of you is good one of you is bad she's just if you had to pick one of us who would it be uh grime grime i knew you said yeah see that that hurts my feelings she she's just a she is just a joy and actually everyone when she came on here will agree she's a fucking joy oh yeah okay by the way i'm sure Oh, she's absolutely lovely.

28:54I'm just a bit jealous. I wish you'd had this competitive spirit when you were on your half marathon. Mate, that's fine. I did, that's the worst thing. You're starting beef with an 80-year-old woman. Obviously, I'm joking. Obviously, she sounds like a fucking lovely person. I just can't believe she's stolen you in all of two podcasts. It's just crazy. That wasn't even what I was getting onto. Just incredible. You did a... There was a viral post that came out because you say you're a Tottenham fan, right? I don't know how much of a football fan in general you are. Couldn't really give a fuck. Couldn't give a fuck.

29:23So Arsenal have just won the league. As a Spurs fan, where are you on that? Because obviously she's a massive Arsenal fan. Huge Arsenal fan, yeah. Her and Bo are massive, massive Arsenal fans. Where am I on Arsenal winning the league? Well done. You can't be a proper Tottenham fan. I don't really give that much of a shit. I'm going to be honest with you. When people say, like, who do you support? Spurs, because I used to, and I used to go to games a lot, and I used to be into football and whatever else. As I've got older, it's kind of just fallen by the wayside of it. What's your thoughts? I still follow football.

29:55What's your thoughts on older football fans who like take it really fucking seriously? Like they go up, not Grand Grand's age, but like sort of like your mid 40s, 50s, sort of like going in, it's like their thing of the, like their thing of the calendar of the week. It's that, I don't know what I'm trying to say, the event of the week. Yeah, do you know what? I don't, I think it's a good thing. So do I. So do I. To be honest with you. If that's an interest, like when it comes to sports, I think it's a great thing to follow sports, by the way. Like football, I like football. Like I keep, I check the fucking score.

30:31But it doesn't ruin my day. Do you know what I mean? I love the fact that people go and do it like fucking, like community with their friends and it's fucking nice and it's something to do with the boys or girls or whoever you're doing it with. I think it's a wonderful thing. When it ruins your entire week and day when your team loses, get a fucking life. that's my opinion on it. But I follow the, so the boxing, I follow like really a lot. I fucking love the boxing. I think it's a great thing to go and do them things with people and have your friends. And I was in a pub on Monday night in North London because I had a show on Monday night and it was full of Arsenal fans.

31:14And like, you know, when you see like a load of like lads and they're all like kind of 40s, 50s, just having a fucking beer together and talking about the week. It was fucking nice. It was nice. So there are great football fans and people that fucking love it and religiously live it that I think is wonderful. There are also a number of... You know the ones who, like, kick off and start having fucking punch-ups because they're fucking teams that are like, fuck me. When you're 50 years old and you're having a punch-up with an 18-year-old lad from Wolverhampton because, do you know what I mean, their team scored a 91st-minute winner, you are a...

31:47Like, you are a... how miserable is your life? Do you know what I mean? So there's elements to it, but I think it's a great thing. I would love to go to football with you. Do you want to come to Chelsea with me? Because I get quite into it. Like I'm calling the Lino a prick. Oi, Lino, fuck you, Lino. Yeah, but I think if that's like... Referees, wake up. There isn't anything better than when you go to like a sporting event or something like that and you're fucking involved. Yeah. Like when you care, like that's great. But then when you leave that event... It finishes there. It finishes there. We've got to go together.

32:19Do you know what I mean? I went to Spurs Arsenal earlier in the season with two fucking huge Spurs fans who I used to work with and I was fucking fully involved. I'm screaming, laughing, shouting. Because you're there and it's a great thing to be a part of. I think it's fucking great. But do you know what you, you know, maybe you're not a football guy, you're more of a dancer, right? You're a twinkle toes. I think we all know that's not true. He's like, Pete, no, he's not the football. He's at the dance attic. He's dancing at the moment. That's your thing. So obviously the Strictly... What's a dance attic?

32:51The dance attic is like a really famous place if you go and learn to dance. Dance attic? Yeah. Oh, fucking hell. But obviously the Strictly hosts... Must pop down. Obviously the Strictly hosts have been announced. And this is right up your street, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I was on the edge of my seat. We didn't get... Well, you actually guessed it. Now, I don't know if we put it in the pod, but you guessed who the presenters were going to be. Yeah, I did guess. It was a good guess. Someone told me. Emma Willis. Josh Whittacombe and Johannes as well, which I didn't see that one coming.

33:23Yeah. I don't know the full breakdown because I haven't spoken to Johannes about it, but he's fucking brilliant. You know him. Oh, he's the nicest guy. He's the nicest guy. He's fucking great. He's so charismatic. He's so good. I don't know if he's dancing and doing something with it or if he's not dancing and he's presented. What I think, and I don't know, is that Emma is doing Tess and they're like, she's the safest pair of hands in the world. She's great. And I'm so glad she's doing it. Josh Widdecombe is up in the Claudatorium I think I don't know by the way before someone says you've got inside I've got no idea but this is how I see it and Johannes from what I've heard is doing like a roving reporter kind of bit and dancing so I don't but I don't know if that's the case but I think Emma and Johannes are fucking great choices I think Josh is like a wild card and will either be amazing or it might not yeah but he's very he's a nice guy he's a really nice guy and he did the Christmas special we didn't get the call up though and that's something that hurts a little bit I yeah it hurts that yeah well I mean yeah how upset are you well I don't know man I just think we could have we could have really added a little bit of sort of zhuzh to it you know could have come in dancing I think it would have been tough for you to present and dance I'm not dancing mate I'm not I'm not I'm genuinely not taking part in this year strictly I need you to all know that right now but I but if I genuinely think we could have hosted that I'm going to put it out there I'm just going to throw it out there yeah well yeah you know but like obviously it would have depending on what week you left or you could have stayed but I I don't know it just would have been difficult you know what I mean because it's quite intensive when you're actually doing the show so to do that and then have to like do your dance and then kind of talk to everyone else it's fucking hard man so I think that's probably why they've done it but maybe after you've kind of finished this year they'll look at re-jigging it I think Johannes is maybe just stepping in for you well for us well no unfortunately I after my experience on on kind of strictly and with the pink trousers I don't think they wanted me back but I think they're prepping you for it by I think we should do it I think I just think we should have gone in Well, see how you feel when you finish this series.

35:44Should we not go on for a screen test? Stranger things have happened. Stranger things have happened. You never know, we'll have a go. Won't we, Sam? Which is what we could have done hosting Strictly. Yeah, but instead... Pizza in the jungle!

38:09We did this one already. Do you remember? See, this is payback, mate. Fucking two years ago. Where is he? It could be, it could be. Don't like it, but it's... We're always saying it's maybe. Now that Coachella's over, Peter, every influencer at the moment, right? I actually, I genuinely do want it. This has come from me, not Pippa, this one. I'm seeing everywhere on the gram right and I want to get your honest thoughts about this Paris is the influencer hotspot that everyone's trying is that a new one? Mate it's more now so than ever there's been quite a few TikToks and people just being like why is everybody in Paris at the moment from all over the world America, UK everyone's in Paris by the Eiffel Tower it's always been a bit of a date spot but why is Paris the fucking influencer hotspot and secondly where do you think the next place will be?

38:56I don't know why Paris weirdly enough I've never I've been to Paris a couple of years and years ago I haven't been to Paris I don't really like it I don't really know why it is an influencer hot spot and why it's changed now is something that you know it's just that it's just that Eiffel Tower shot it's just that one shot they want to get I thought that was just Valentine's a lot of people do that over the Valentine's thing people just go on their own now just to get the shot next to the Eiffel Tower why? I have no idea I have no idea but my question for you is where's the next place in Pete Wicks is because you're obviously very you know well versed in the influencer lifestyle where would you say is the next big spot for influencers to be hanging out um I don't know I mean there's there's lots of lovely kind of aesthetically pleasing spots um and you don't have to go as far as Paris um just outside our offices here there is a lovely graveyard oh my god um no it's picturesque it is you know the grass is always truly lovely that you know we're just we've just been past that kind of spring bit with the daffodils we're out and there's some bluebells i love a graveyard and what is nicer what is yeah what is nicer than sort of you know just a few headstones and that in the background of of those that we have lost um and whilst taking a picture i think i think we could make graveyard's the new kind of spot because it's just looking to the past we spend all our lives looking to the future and actually we have to remember where we come from um and and and obviously you know for me as an influencer maybe we could start that as a as a trend it's looking forward to one of my favorite kind of mottos in life which is we are all gonna die yeah like that so basically turn up in your plt sit on a gravestone and get yourself to get yourself a Yeah, just sort of like a leg over a headstone and White Fox.

40:46White Fox Boutique. You know? What do you think? I actually really like, I love a graveyard, actually. Quite a fan of graveyards. I sometimes have a stroll. What's your favourite thing to do in a graveyard? I like a stroll. It's really quiet. It's very nice, yeah. Yeah, it's fucking quiet. A lot of old people. Not a lot of noise. Not much chatting going on. No, but it's just nice. You've just got that faint, faint noise of crying as people visit their loved ones. but other than that you know it's like the birds tweet you know the crying it's just yeah it's lovely I'm here with you mate I'm with you on that to be fair yeah I also sort of wanted to get you a read on sort of a fashion brand what was your idea on Mango Mango the high street brand Mango do some good bits do some good bits yeah there's a good bit of gear in there yeah Hayley Beebe's just done a little edit with Mango well there you go then Listen, if Hayley's done it, we should all be wearing Mango.

41:44Mango is the fashion brand for the summer. You've heard that here first. He said that with so much badache as well. It is the fashion brand. You know, you think summer, you think Mango, you think Hayley Bieber. It all makes sense. But she's going High Street now. She's not going. Well, she's appealing to the masses, Sam. This is the thing. You know what I mean? You can't live in your ivory tower and forget about the people. So what she's done, she's gone, I'll tell you what I love. For Summer Mango. Because she's thought to herself, Summer Mango. Yeah. And then she's gone, Summer Mango, Hayley Bieber.

42:16Yes. So what she's done, and this is for the people. Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's a price point that we can all afford, which is wonderful. Lovely bit of gear they do. Yeah. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm partial to a bit of mango. Are you? I don't mind. Great basics. They're at mango. It's real good quality. You know, the kind of T-shirts and stuff. They've got a lovely stretch to them. They wash nice. so yeah really good Mango and I'm really pleased she's done it because I've been dying to replicate some of her outfits for such a long time but unfortunately I don't have the money to be able to do so so now it's affordable for everyone now it's affordable for everyone me and the girls are going to pop down there me and the girls me and the girls are going to pop down there and we're going to see what we can do should we take the team?

43:01yeah should we take the team to Mango? absolutely and I think for you 50 quid each and for 50 pounds you can get you can get either, and it depends what you want to, what you want to do with that. 50 pounds, you can get a lovely statement piece in mango, you know, something that you can wear on special occasions. And then you just look at the basics around it. Or Josh, for you, we can, we can look at getting some, some solid basics for some of the statement pieces you already have. Sounds great. Yeah. So there's lots of things we can do guys. Yeah. What statement pieces does Josh have? So is mango just for girls?

43:35Open toe shoe. Back off. back off alright if anyone needs to go fucking mango it's you this is from mango well they fuck me oh I'll take everything back it's actually from mango what are the odds of that it's from Hayley Beaver's collection no it's not fabulous and it is lovely you're such a follower you're such a fucking follower like I can I just I'm gonna have a rant and I'm sorry I just I just you're the kind of person and just people in general who like who sees like Hayley Beaver's done an edit they suddenly just rush to the fucking stores like like they run so quick and like will queue outside of a place they've never shot from in their fucking life.

44:13She does run so quick, doesn't she? Very good. But like, I know you would have only got that because Hayley Bieber's gone to the name. Well, I must say, listen, listen, I'm going to stop you there, all right? And I'm going to stick up for old open-toed moonhead. So... Genuinely, that could have been anything. It's a wonderful royal blue Harrington jacket she's got on there. And I think it's nice. Aside from the fact that, yes, you followed the trends and you followed Hayley, but that is the purpose of fashion. You know, fashion is, is all about replicating things that you may have seen in different, it's, it's taken inspiration from different areas.

44:47You know, she's taken inspiration from what looks like an old school sort of car mechanics jacket. And Hayley Bieber has updated it for the mango summer fashion experience, which is what we're all going to be a part of. But why do people do that? Why do people just run to like, the clothes haven't changed. Why did you get a mullet? Because I saw Roman Kemp at that point. There you go then. Why did you go with the loaf of white sock thing? Because you saw Jacob Allardy do it. I saw Jacob Allardy do it. But I'm not running to a store to like get the Jacob Allardy X. What, they're just appearing?

45:23You're sort of panting and throwing water down your face along the way. But either way, you'll steadily walk there at a nice pace. You won't go off all guns. All right. Just at a nice, leisurely pace. Just cruising down. She's only just done this edit. So like Pippa must have literally seen she's done the edit, God, it must get there now before anyone else has as well. It's like with the Molly May shoe. Like suddenly everyone's fucking got the shoe. The shoe might be lovely. But suddenly. It's what we call the Midas touch though. That is exactly what people, that's what social media does. But that has happened for years.

45:55It's no different to when they used to do catwalk runway. It's what styles how fashion goes. That's part of trends. So it needs a name behind it is what we're saying here. What do you mean? Fashion needs a name behind it. No, no, no, no, no. Because it's, again, even what she would have picked. Yes, she's got, now we have influencers. We're just pointing at people being like, yeah, what she's picked. But now we have influencers because they're influential people. But back in the day, you would have had different types of influencers and different types of things. How do you kind of, because I feel like you try and stay as if you don't care about fashion, but you do follow trends.

46:30So what she's done is exactly the same as what you do. We all do it. I see things on people and I go fuck me that's nice and I'll buy it did you go in store for that? I didn't though ASOS oh right it's blue you'll probably want it well it's lovely it's a lovely royal blue isn't it? you know I like the colour blue yeah oh but we can't actually finish before one of the most important topics and I just did briefly touch on Molly May there her baby's due in just a matter of weeks is it you know are we excited for the birth? is it going to I I cannot tell honestly this has been a week for me where I feel like I've lost my mind what with Hayley Bieber's mango collection Molly May's you know like upcoming birth I I honestly what a time to be alive like I cannot tell you the rumbling excitement that I have within that I know you're gonna be outside the hospital in in Hayley Bieber's mango gear yeah absolutely I want you outside of the hospital whichever hospital they decide to go to like it's a royal baby when you're outside clapping as they come out just like honestly yeah very exciting boy or girl if you had to guess what's she got now girl girl Bambi oh let's hope it's a boy let's hope we can only hope it's just lovely imagine a little Tommy and like girls called Bambi yeah imagine little thumper gets born little thumper that'd be nice well we're all waiting with bated breath and and we will see how it goes One name prediction?

48:02Well, Thump is quite a good one, to be fair. I'm going for Alex. I'm going for Alex. Short for Alexander. Yeah. Yeah. I think they'll go for a nice baby Alex. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. Or a Stu. Stu Fury. For Stuart. Stuart Fury. Yes, okay. Stuart. Yep, yep, yep. See you, Stuart. What about, I mean, Tommy's dad, John, what if it's baby John?

48:29Baby John? Yeah. I like Baby John. Or you could go down Tyson's route. A lot of his, it'll all begin with V. So if it's a boy. Vestibule. Vestibule. Is that a name? I believe vestibule's a piece of furniture. Vestibule's like a corridor or something, isn't it? I believe it's a... Corridor. Yeah, I believe it's a piece of furniture. It may be a corridor. But hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let's say you were going to take the name of someone you married, right? If they had a name Smith, a second name Smith. Solid name. Would you take it? Yeah, solid name. My name's Wicks, mate. I'll take anything. Pete Smith.

49:05Yeah, Smith. I think Smith is a solid name. Is there a second name that you wouldn't take? Yeah, I actually saw a thing on Instagram the other day where someone said it was a footballer's surname on the back of his show was Wanker. I saw that as well. He was like Dutch or something. So I think that was maybe, I think I'd struggle with wanker personally. Smith seems to be a good place to land. But yeah, something. So you wouldn't have wanker? Not personally. It's like, weirdly enough, you know. Eat wanker. By the way, he's not wrong. There was actually genuinely an A in surname. And there's like, again, a lot of them seem to be Dutch.

49:44There was a **** bit with a K. You know what I mean? You'd love that. Peter cunts. You'd literally love that. But then you've also got to think about sometimes when you look at this naming thing, I sometimes think that it needs to go through a process of naming because you need to kind of, sometimes you need other people's opinions because I once went to school with a guy called Chris, Christopher, but his surname is Peacock. Chris Peacock.

50:15Crispy. Crispy Cock. Oh my God, that's mad. Should we call him Christopher? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Crispycock. Crispycock is such a good name. But sometimes you hear these ones and you go, what? Do you know what I mean? Or when you get people and they don't think about it, they just think, oh, first name, like, I don't know. Like, first name, like, let's say the, no, let's say the surname is like Thomas. Yeah. And then they go with the first name. Do you know what would be a really good one? Tim. Yeah, Tim. And what else do you like? Oh, my dad's name was Ian. Yeah, Tim Ian Thomas. Great. What's his initials?

50:57Tit. Like people sometimes, and you know when you think these poor kids. Never stood a chance. Anyway. Pete is one of my favourite things I've ever heard. So that's all we've got time for, for me, Sam Thompson, and Pete.
