1:58Welcome to Staying Relevant, the bonus episode with me, Sam Thompson, and Peter, James, Jonathan, Joseph, Wicks. We're back and feeling, as Pete says, refreshed. No. No, you didn't say that. What did you say? Just reset. Reset. We're back and reset. So this is a bonus, which means it is Thursday. You'll be able to watch this on Josh and Kira's YouTube channel from Sunday at 5pm. and then Monday's main episode is now on the YouTube as of last night at 5pm. So that means you can catch us on a... Leber. Monday. Wednesday. Thursday. Sunday. Beautiful. Make sure you rate, reviewed, all of that crap.

2:37You know the score by now. Follow us on socials and blah, blah, blah, blah. Subscribe to the YouTube. If you want a feature in the bonus episode, we haven't changed the email address. It's still exactly the same. Hello at srproductions.co.uk. Remember, we also have merch on the website. We have lots of fucking exciting things going. If you haven't got a dishy cloth, make sure you get them. Have mine sold out yet? Your first lot of dishy cloth hasn't still sold out. Oh, fuck. I was so excited just then. Unfortunately. God darn it. No, but thank you for everyone that sent us pictures of you on Christmas Day opening your merch stuff.

3:11That is going to be available year round, which is great. What do I have to do? What do I have to do for you to buy my dishy cloth? You know? Mate, I don't know because we've picked the best of Jack's picks. It's the best I have. You've got the best I've got to give. I haven't got anything left. That is me at my prime. I don't know. I just don't know what to do. Listen, do you know what? Look at this. It's an acquired taste. I just fucking... Do you know what? I'm just a bit... I'm a bit hurt. I'm not going to lie about it. It is a bit painful, but you know... There's nothing like... Do you know what?

3:49And I respect the hustle because I've never seen anyone set up merch and beg for people to buy it. And it's, I respect it. I just don't know what to do anymore. Well, listen, if you don't fancy Sam Dishikoff. We do have Pete restocked. But they are selling quick. They're selling fast. Oh, buy one, get one free. I'll come with Pete. We're not doing buy one, get one free. It's embarrassing for him. Listen, it's not going to cost me money just so you feel better. All right? But there's also loads of other stuff, so make sure you do that. You have a mug. A lot of people got mugs over Christmas. Mugs, tote bags, T-shirts, hoodies.

4:26We are going to be adding to that. Yeah, it's the Stay in Redfin shop. Also, do you know what's really nice? There were a load of stocking photos that we got for the book. Yes. Loads of people got the book for Christmas. The book's still available to buy if you haven't done it and you didn't get it for Christmas. Make sure you get the book. Audio book is available if you'd rather listen to us. The audio book has extras. So, yeah, do you know what I mean? We're just trying to do our thing. But let's, well, I think you should crack on. Mate, this is a really, really great start to the year. You know, as everyone who listens to this podcast knows, we as a collective are massive fans of television.

5:06You know, Traitors, of course, Love Island All-Stars, which is obviously huge for all of us. Well, not for me, as we all know. So I don't watch Love Island and I haven't done. But this year I'm invested. Yes! Come on! Now, I'm not saying I'm going to watch it, but I will be keeping up to date. Are we keeping a BDI? Because a friend of the pod and a wonderful person is going to be on it. Take it away. Helena Ford is on Love Island All Stars. Our favourite face sitter. And it was so lovely. She actually name dropped Staying Relevant in the ITV promo video on Instagram. And basically they were asking sort of like, what's your favorite thing you've done since you came out of the villa?

5:57And loads of people had pretty boring things to say, to be honest with you. Other than Helena. Helena went, probably the coolest thing I've done since it came out is joined Pete and Sam Staying Relevant Productions at the O2 and came on as a guest. And I just, we all thought that was really fucking lovely of her. It was sent to me and normally I take the piss when I see Love Island things and I commented. Did you comment on it? Yeah, sent her a message and just said, fucking you go girl. Yes! Helena, you've managed to get Pete commenting on a Love Island thing. So, just so everyone is aware if you're going to be watching All Stars, we are Team Helena all the way.

6:36Yeah. It doesn't matter what she does. I don't care. Well, we need reason. I don't care what she does. Don't, nothing too bad. But I don't care what she does. We are team Helena for the win. Just another little shout out because we also do love Millie. We do. We love Millie Court. But Helena for the win. Yeah, Helena for the win. And we're almost like GBU. We're sponsoring Helena for her Love Island. Staying relevant. Sponsors Helena Ford for Love Island All Stars. Thankfully, I think they may have already gone. So this isn't going to cost me anything. So we are sponsoring her with love. Yeah.

7:09We are also, I think they're getting paid by TV, which is great. So we're just there for moral support. Come on, Eleanor, you fucking legend. Next entry in the villa, Helena Ford, sponsored by Staying Relevant Productions. She's our candidate and advocate for Staying Relevant. Helena, we wish you well. We can't wait to see you again. Now, you obviously, having been a Love Island fan for a long time, there's all sorts of different people going in who is a standout for you, other than our girl. Helena. Just want to point out, Helena for the win. That's Helena Ford. Helena Ford for the win. Lovely girl as well.

7:50Really, really sweet. She was so lovely when she came to the O2. I don't think she has any competition, as she's sponsored by Stare Redmond, but if she did, who would it be? Well, this is the line-up. Pete, I know you'll probably know a few of these names. Jess Harding, do you know who that is? Blonde. Blonde, yes. Jess Harding is in there. Shaq, who was part of quite a big power couple, I believe, in his season. A guy called Sean, who I don't know who he is. Whitney, who I do know. She was quite a big character, Whitney. We worked with Whitney. We did. And she has just broken up with Lachan, who has now moved on with another girl.

8:27Unless I'm mistaken. So Whitney is now in there looking for love for a second time. She's a lovely girl. A guy called Jack. Millie Court, who we love. We love Millie. We've known Millie for a very long time. Charlie Frederick, who also was on he was on years ago I think he lasted like a day but he's on there good looking fella to be fair Tommy a girl called Belle Helena Hassan I know Belle Belle is lovely wow it's Tamma Hassan's daughter and I know Tamma and I know Belle and Belle's lovely as well okay yeah so you like quite a few people on here Pete we've got Belle Millie and Helena Kieran Helena Ford for the win Helena Ford for the win but Kieran we've got a Kieran in there and Leanne Oh, Leanne.

9:11Leanne. No idea. Yeah, I'm not sure about Kieran or Leanne either, but... So tune in to Love Island All-Stars and support Helena Ford. Sponsored by Staying Relevant. Staying Relevant. How cool is that, though? That is fucking awesome that she shouted us out. Yeah, it is. We like that. We really, really do. So as Pete said, you can do anything. Just make sure you vote for Helena. Just vote for Helena. If Helena fucking wins, we're getting on the pod. She's the only Love Island you'd probably ever accept. Yeah. And it's Helena or nothing for me. and I'm going to be honest with you, if you support her the way you supported Sam in the jungle, we want the same thing, and me and Strictly, I mean, you didn't do as well for me, but if you can support her like you did Sam and I, that would be great because...

9:59For people listening, Pete's just put a double rock on, fist up there. Helena for the win. Sponsored by Staying Relevant. Go 40. Come on, 40. You got this. We got a really nice message, actually, as well, Pete, that I think you might like. Happy New Year, boys and the team. Thanks for keeping me sane over the Christmas period as much as I enjoyed Pete's rant, which, by the way, fuck me, did Pete really connect with the British public over his disdain for Christmas? It turns out most of you also hate Christmas. And New Year's. And New Year's, actually. And also, you hate cheese, apparently, as well.

10:42No. Cheese on Christmas. No. No. Just the fact that we are all governed by what you're supposed to do. Very good point. And not just doing it when you want. It's like you with the journaling. TikTok says I can't tell anyone. No, I can't, though. That's just in the rules and regs. Oh, okay. Is that the journaling mother? She goes, I want to know if E-Review had any New Year's fitness goals. fitness goals. I spotted on Instagram that Sam was wearing a fitness band. Not sure fitness devices are up Pete's alley but I'd love to hear his take on them regardless. Thanks again. Love you both dearly. Nikita.

11:19Well Sam is walking like John Wayne today because he's just gone back in for leg day. So yes Sam is back in the gym. Yeah. I went for a two and a half hour walk before I got to the office today. No falls. No falls. I mean it was touch and go though because quite I see this morning and I was wearing my wellies. It's very fucking nice. you in wellies as well but even that yeah it's dog walking wellies do you put your wellies on by the door yeah they live by the door Ellen sent me a photo of the wellies by the door as well what is the fucking wrong with this they're black where are they from they're hunters well they're just alright well isn't they so anyway do you have a brolly by the door no we finish it at wellies so yeah listen I'll be walking hopefully upright it would be good for me not to face plant Sammy's back on the fitness journey though which is nice but I'm not going to be doing that I mean I tried the gym thing for a little while and it was a lot do you know I do feel like it's the new year new me kind of vibe the Whoop is strapped back on the wrist well and also big thanks to Whoop as well for the giveaway because we had a Whoop band that was someone won which is wonderful Look at that.

12:36That's cool, isn't it? Yes. Thank you to Whoop. So you've been whooping. I've been whooping. Yeah. I've been whooping. And, mate, it's fucking mental. I mean, it tells you you can get a bit addicted to your sleep score. I've already logged, by the way, Pippa. I've had 100%. Can you get minus on sleep score? Do you know what would be really funny is if I wore one for a night? It would panic the shit out of you. How's that gone? I've not slept. It can. And it has the ability to really get into the old brain. You get quite competitive. But no, more so with myself, mate. Like if I wake up, well, me and Pippa, don't pull that face.

13:12So what do you do then in the mornings? Because obviously now you're doing your Mel Robbins. You go, good morning, Sam. How did you sleep? And you go, well, I got a seven. What about you? I got a seven. Is that the competition? It's a 97. A 97? I got 100 % sleep score on the first night and a 97 % sleep score last night. How do we get 100 %? Pippa's already looking at her phone. See, this is what makes me fucking like really like competitive. If you've been with us for a while, like towards the start of last year when Sam was back on his fitness journey because he was training for his incredible run.

13:41What you will realise is that Sam hyper fixates on certain things and is but he's very competitive. Last year we had Strava. This year we have whoop. We do. What's his sleep's gone? It's really high, actually. Optimal. What is it? 90. Oh, not quite 97. Seven. Readiness, nice. Sam, Sam is a better sleeper, guys. No, Sam's rubbish. Normally yours is so bad. I know. Do you know, this is a worry because I genuinely, Pete, I wake up and the first thing I do is go onto my whoop out and I go, have I slept? And if it's bad, you wake up and go, oh, that's not good. I feel, I suddenly feel quite ill. And if it goes like 70, you need to up those, and it tells you you need to up the numbers as well.

14:21And you're like, oh God, I feel a bit faint. I feel like I haven't had enough. You must be so much fun for your missus to go to bed with. Nine o 'clock. No, we need to... I won't get 100. But Sam, can't we just... You should have got Barry White in the background. No! I must sleep. Do you know what the worst thing is? I genuinely do that. I literally get it to 9.30. Well, Sam, if you hadn't spent three hours playing with your Warhammer... All right, cool. Should we get you... Should we, as an office, get Peter Whoop? They've kindly sent him one. Oh, mate, come on. Just strap one on for a little bit.

14:55I don't... I would love to see your scores. I would love to see Pete. And do you know what? Pete actually, he sits there and he's like, oh, you're fucking competitive. So there's no way that Pete wouldn't come in. I remember when we were in Vegas in the car, Pete had some shitty little game on an iPad, right? And I was playing this game and you had to just cross the road. It's this little man that's across the road. And I'm just having a good time. Pete sort of like peers over and goes, give me a go on that. And Pete steals the iPad for the rest of the journey You're just trying to beat my high score.

15:26You don't even like games on iPads. I did beat the high score and then gave it back and went, go on. He did. He didn't even want to play. No, listen, I am competitive. It'd be good to see. What else does it think? I'm not going to compete with, like, I'm competitive with things that. Just because you know you can't win. Well, no. Sleep scores. Well, how productive is the fucking state? It's laying down doing fuck off. All right? I'll tell you who'd win that, of course. All right? So, no, I'm not going to compete with that one. What else can I compete with? Oh, do you know what you would love? I'm really bad at this HRV, which is basically tells you how healthy you are.

16:00Well, I ain't going to win that fucking win. No, no, no, you will. You'd be surprised actually like it. You'd be surprised how fucked I am. Mine's really low. Mine's 48. Yeah, see. What, you're half dead? Mate, pretty much. Yeah, it should be around 70 plus. It should be around 70 plus, mate. I'm 48. You'd beat me on that. And I guarantee it would start Pete running. It gets you going, man. It really does. If I'm beating anyone on fucking HRV, health fucking... Heart rate variability, isn't it? If I'm beating anyone on heart... If I'm beating anyone on heart rate variability, mine barely ticks.

16:35I'm going to be honest with you. Now and then I think... Oh, it started again. Don't worry. Pete, can I ask you a question? Do you ever get that thing, I get this all the time, where you're at home and you get a sharp stabbing pain in your side and you think God's come for you? And you literally go, have you ever just stood there and you suddenly get that pain and you're like, oh my God, it's happening. And you can suddenly hear the angel singing. You're like, fuck. And then you genuinely think, has anyone else heard that? Well, I'm going to be honest with you, I've had sharp pains before, but I don't instantly go, that's God.

17:05I genuinely sit and I go, it's my time. It's a sign. And then I can hear a couple of angels and they're like, I genuinely do. I get that. I normally think to myself, oh, fuck me, I shouldn't have had that extra fucking, that curry was a bit spicy. Mate, that's actually genuine what it normally is. It's normally just indigestion. Well, of course it is. It's not God coming to get you. Mate, I know people listening to this will agree with this. There are times when you're walking and it come out of nowhere. You're like, oh, my God. And you have to stand still. And you're like, you do a whole body reset.

17:32You go, am I dying? No, I'm okay. No, listen. We all know that if any, like, the chances are either I'll outlive all of you. Which you will. Or I'll die pretty soon. Do you know what I mean? So what we're going to do is strap a whoop on him. Great. And excellent. What that will do. Chronicle the demise of Pete. it'll start fucking bibbing and go go see someone do you know what I mean it does actually do that if your heart goes it tells me if I'm ever gaming and I get with the boys that this is legit hey what's Bodger and Badger's score do you compete with them David Badger yeah if I'm ever playing and my heart go my heart rate can sometimes spike if like if I'm like if I get done from behind or something like that I will my phone will pop up and it goes your heart rate's a little high I'll be honest with you like if I was getting done from behind mine would spike No, they'll shoot me from behind.

18:21What, just like all over your back? Little back shot? Little back shot, yeah. My phone will tell me. Who comes the most? It's not, stop trying to sexualise my gaming friends.

18:35That sounded weird in itself. But can we all, can we all, and I mean this, can we all, Pippa, I'm looking at you, can we all agree that we're going to get Pete on a whoop for a month?

18:48Anyway, all right, right. So, next email. First of all, hello to the production team at Staying Relevant. Secondly, hello, Sam and Pete. Excellent. So the production team get the first hello. Yeah, that's worrying. We've become an afterthought. Just watching a video on YouTube of YouTube's funniest moments on Celebs Go Dating, where I came across Pete explaining that Manchester is his favourite city for dating women because they have something about them. And she's, by the way, spelt about A-B-A-R-R-R-T. Yeah, as if I've said about them. About them. Just wondering, Pete, is this still the case?

19:23Much love, broskies. Keep the pods coming. Also get Tom Hiddleston on the pod rapid. Liam. I need to follow up on that. Manchester is a great city for women. Why? They're just... They're just fun. Do you know what I mean? I don't know what it is. Manchester, I've spent a lot of time in Manchester, so I really, really like Manchester anyway. I think it's more the city that I like. And also, but to be perfectly honest with you, like obviously, you know, I live in London and, you know, not used so much anymore. Done a lot of dating and stuff in London. When you go out of London, it's just all new.

20:06So I don't know if it's necessarily the people or just the fact that you're... It's just everything's different and kind of cool. So Manchester is very good. It is very good. We love Birmingham. We love Birmingham. We love the Midlands. You love Birmingham.

22:33Well, ever since you told a reporter that we had a special place in our hearts for Birmingham, and I went, do we? Yeah, no, we're big fans of the ball ring. You don't know what that is, do you? Is it the ball in the station?

22:52There is, but the ball ring is the kind of centre part of Birmingham Town Centre, the shopping centres. Oh, right, okay, yeah. Well, you should know that, obviously. With Birmingham having such a special place in your heart. Obviously, you're now dating and out of the game. Yeah. Which is unusual because, you know, we know how much fun you had being single. If you were to date from another city. I genuinely think I agree with you there. I think the more north you go, the nicer people are. I think the friendlier they are, the more fun they are. Yeah, do you know what? I was actually thinking England, but yeah, you could absolutely go.

23:31I mean, Glasgow. We've been to Glasgow. You were thinking England and went Glasgow? Oh, no, now you've got, okay. UK, yeah. And then, you know, we've done Dundee. We did do Dundee. Dundee. It wasn't a good one for you, that one. Dundee was a tough one for me. But yeah, I think I would go north, actually, for sure. Accents. I love a north and lass. What's it do you? Yeah. I can imagine you with a Geordie. Yeah, or a Scouse. I can't imagine you with a Scouse. Why? No. That was such a full-blown no as well. I just don't see you there. I could see you with a Geordie. I could see myself with Geordie.

24:05Well, if you were to change the name of your bird. That sounds awful. I could see myself with a Jordy If you were to change Tally's voice to any other accent what would it be? Obviously she's got a great voice and you really like it I have two accents in general that I like Australian and American Have you ever dated an Australian? And you dated an American? Okay, pros and cons? Sorry, actually not American, Canadian Oh, Canadian And they hate it when you get their fucking accent when you go, oh you're from America, no, I'm Canada and you're like, oh, fuck. She's Canada as a whole. She's not going to...

24:43No, I'm Canada. Those are the two accents that I like. Speaking to the other one, I'm Australia. I like Australian and North American accents. Amazing. Two of my least favourite. Of course they are. What are your favourite? German. I love an Irish accent. Irish accent is always a good one. I quite like Eastern European accents. Yeah, you do. I'm a big fan of, like, Colombian and Spanish. He's always a really nice accent. South American. There's something sexy about it. Do you know what I mean? I like a little... Oh, he's doing... For the listeners, he's doing a little fucking shoulder bob as well there.

25:28Yeah. Oh. I'd rather that than fucking, Steve's big and he's fucking hard. That's what I mean, like... Good song that though, to be fair. Do you know what I mean? So, yeah. Oh, quickly, actually, on girlfriends, Pete has invited Tally to a dinner that we were all having, which I thought was really, really nice. Just to clear this up, just because the explanation of this, we don't share Tally. That's Sam's girlfriend. So Sam's girlfriend is invited to the dinner. It's not my night with her. We're all going to the dinner. Talking to girlfriends, Pete's invited Tally out. No, not mine. His. Yeah, she's going to be really nice.

26:09Thank you. She's coming. She's really excited. Okay. Can't back out now. She's going to be meeting the entire Staring Reddivant team in one hit. Yeah. So everyone be nice to her. Yeah. Josh. You be nice to Tally. Oh, also, last thing, Tom Hiddleston. We got to make that happen. We don't. No, we do. You do. No, it's a we thing now. I don't know him. No, I think. It would be weird if I go, so just follow him up on Sam's Insta. I think we do. Nice to meet you, pal. I think we do a double-pronged approach. I've done mine. He doesn't know who the fuck I am. I think we just, I think we send you in. I do.

26:41Listen, I'm not going to bully a Hollywood star into coming on this thing. You, listen. Please. Do something. Just follow it up. No, no, no, no. Hi, Pete Wicks here. You may remember me from such things as... What? What will he remember me from? He knows who you are. He does. We've spoken about you before at Soccer Aid. Yeah, Sam and Tom Hiddleston just sitting there fucking chewing the fat over. What Pete doesn't realise is I mention him in every conversation with every person that I meet. Yeah, weirdly enough. So now all of these little fucking mates who have no idea who I am just think Sam's got an invisible friend called Pete.

27:15So Pete's going to send the next message to Tom and we'll see what we get from that. No, he's not. Do you want him on the pod? I would adore him. Okay, then I suggest you go down the proper channels and stop making it weird. The proper channels? The proper channels! And I'll tell you why. What are the proper channels? Well, I'll tell you why we didn't get My Jammer is because you spoke about it so much on the pod. Let's now... Put pressure on it. We're not going to mention Tom Hiddleston until he's sat here. I'm not doing the same fucking thing again. No, you're going to go and sort it out and he either comes or he doesn't.

27:46But we're not every week going to go, so what's the update on Tom Hiddleston? Right, it'll either happen or it fucking won't. It's going to happen. Well, there you go. It's down to you. It's going to happen. All right, Sam is in charge of that. I want Henry Cavill as well. You know him? No, but I... All right, excellent. Well, wonderful. Well, that'd be great then. That'd be wonderful. He loves Warhammer. I'll tell you what. Yeah, he loves what? Warhammer. Excellent. We'll see if he'll bring Denzel Washington along because I really like him and I wouldn't mind having him. We'll put a pin in it.

28:13Yeah, all right then. Oh, Austin Butler. Eh? Yeah, all right then.

28:22Beat, just head down. Why do you not believe? Because we've been here a million times. We're still doing it. We've been here a million times. I want you to believe. All right, I believe. Tell the camera you believe. I believe Tom Hiddleston will come on this pod in 2026. So, question time. Da-da-da, question time. As you know, and we're going to be carrying it on, we're going to be doing question time. So we pop that up. We pop it up, don't we? We just slot it in there. We just put... Slide it in. Yeah, we just pop it up or slot it in. We place it on the social media. Stick it on you. Anything else?

29:06That's it. I'm done. All right, cool. I'm jarred now. I'm frazzled. I'm panicked. Do you want a minute? I'm zipping up my hoodie. It's a lovely hoodie. Where'd you get that from? No one cares. Fuck's sake. Anyway, so yeah, we put up the questions on, or we get you to ask us questions on the Instagram every week. So do you want to start us off? Are there any other podcasts coming from the production company in 2026? At the time of recording this, and by the time this goes out, the week after that, keep your fucking eyes peeled on the Staying Relevant Instagram, because we will be making an announcement.

29:46Now, not particularly subtle, because it's a direct question, and I've said we're making an announcement, which means yes. so there is another podcast coming from staying with productions the first acquisition yeah can't tell you what but just prepare yourself we're really really really proud of it as well and we feel like it's the right time and uh and we're fucking excited and i think you're gonna absolutely love it as well so um three predictions for 2026 can be about anything um oh what do i think i I think this podcast is going to win another award. Fucking hell. Oh my God. I love it. No, actually not this podcast.

30:32He's panicked. He's you turned. No, no, no. This production company will win something. Can we, are we up? Can we be up for an award? I mean, it's the 7th of January. No, but is there an award for a production company? I just think amongst us all and everything we've got going on and all the different kind of avenues and areas, I think we're going to win something else. I hope. My second prediction is that Sam is going to yet again change his hair. And I feel like, and listen, I don't want to be blunt about it. There'll be more of it. I think Sam is potentially going to do that this year, finally, after many, many years.

31:14I also think that Sam is I don't know I'm just predicting why is it all me well I don't know because I'll just be the same shit that I do every year go on I think Sam is going to announce something big soon and I'm saying that not that because I know something yeah yeah that's not a loaded thing I don't even know what that is because if you look at Sam's place he doesn't know but there'll be a big announcement where we will all have to get behind Sam oh bloody hell better hurry up because normally these things get set in stone the year before so we're running out of time for that one okay right my ones i think may sound a bit boring but i genuinely believe i think this is going to be the best year yet for for staying relevant the production company i think this i think we're going to hit new highs um which is really exciting i think that you are going to see and i'm leaking something here that Pete probably won't want leaked, but I'm not going to say it, I promise.

32:13We're going to release something soon that I think that we're incredibly fucking proud of that I think you're going to fucking love. It's kind of not a prediction, we're just telling what's happening. But I think you're going to love. I predict we've got something coming out. Yeah. I look into my crystal ball and I think that you're going to really enjoy it. I think it's going to lead to more things like that, that we're incredibly proud of and it's probably the best thing that we've done for a very long time so to make that a prediction because i agree we have got saying it really incredible that we're all really proud of and worked on for four months coming out soon as a bit of a testing sounding board yeah um don't worry you'd have to buy it there no there was an option for that to happen um but they vetoed me so you're having it for free um but off the back of that and there are no plans for anything on the back it could create something impressive.

33:07And third one, England are going to win the World Cup. It's my last one. I think we're going to win the World Cup. Nice. Big thumbs up from Josh there. I've got one last prediction. I think this year we are going to welcome a Stan Redmond baby. I just have a feeling there's something, I just feel something. That's fucking true. Yes, that was the joke. Oh, right. So we'll just take this moment in the bonus thing. If you haven't seen the news, we are having a staying relevant baby. Yeah, we are. As a collective, we are having a staying relevant baby. Congratulations. Massive congratulations to Josh and Jess.

33:52Similarly to the Nativity, there will be auditions happening. For Godfather? No, that's done. Oh, right, okay. Wait, what? is that done yeah josh fuck me i swear to god i've been there for you since day one no no because we've also got you have got a very important role um so auntie pippa we have the godfather we have friend of the family sam fuck off no way i want to be i want to be there I want to be with Pete Okay Sam wants to deliver the baby But yeah Pippa roundy auntie Pippa round Pippa round You know It's maybe Absolutely petrified When he sees her forehead Anyway See itself But on a serious note We are very pleased for you It's the first day I haven't seen it Congratulations Josh We absolutely love you mate And on a serious note as well I genuinely believe You're going to be The most amazing father So we all think You'll be the most amazing father Mate congratulations Would you rather smell shit every time you eat or only eat shit that can taste of whatever you imagine?

34:59Okay. Normal scheduling resumes. Would I rather smell shit every time I eat or eat shit that can taste of whatever you imagine? The contrast has killed me. Would I rather smell shit every time you eat? Or eat shit. I would rather smell shit oh really yeah I'll tell you what I broke my nose three times I don't have a great sense of smell already and I think what I do yeah I think I could just because I I have a real issue the only thing that really makes me gag is taste no and it's so weird especially considering what I do is dog food so I can do that I just don't breathe through my nose, so I just don't smell.

35:53I think I could do that and just be able to eat normal food. I can't eat things that don't look nice. You know when you see people like, for example, like baby food? Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It might taste all right, but it looks fucking awful. It's mush or anything without a texture as well. No, it's not the texture. Oh, for me, it's texture. It doesn't look nice. If I look at something, if it doesn't look appealing, I ain't going near it. I'm the exact same. So I couldn't give a shit if the piece of shit that I'm eating was the best tasting thing in the world. I still have to look at shit and then put it in my mouth.

36:37And I don't think I could do that. Whereas I could just not breathe and look at a nice meal. What if it smells like lovely smoked salmon? But it's a shit. So what I think is whoever shat that out had some lovely smoked salmon. I would probably eat shit. This is where we differ. I don't think this is the only place we differ on the way we'd answer this question. We finally found something we don't agree on. I can't wait until someone goes, so how can you repeat? Why are you so different? I'm like, well, I like to eat shit. You like to smell it. Yeah. But I would like to eat shit for me because I think I can.

37:13Okay, so it's not that you would like to. No, no, no. It's not like I want to eat shit, but that would be the, I'd prefer that because I'd rather smell something lovely. Is the shit still shit? Yeah. Oh, I'd probably rather smell shit when I eat then. Yeah, because I don't actually. Well, that was a quick turnaround, that. Well, I don't actually want to eat shit. A great question. A thought-provoking question, to be honest with you. I'm going to be completely honest with you. I feel like we're being kind with great question. I really like that one. We're starting with, would you rather smell shit every time you eat or eat shit that can taste of anything you imagine?

37:49I mean, I've got visions of you at home now and you're new fucking crew set, pots and pans, just throwing up some shit. Teddy, have a go on that. Have at it.

38:00Yeah, no, it's weird. Yeah. Well, there you go. If anyone wanted to know. I think what we're learning, have we hit the point now? We've hit the point. Okay. Have we got enough? nice see what we need to start learning now is when we hit the point so we don't drag on yeah i think we've got good there excellent so before we all just well when i say we all we just need a little breather yeah pibba would you eat shit or smell shit i think smell like it i have another option i think one shatter self when we were doing radio together i didn't yeah you did that's something like that you told me you shat yourself didn't shit myself.

38:41You did? And did you eat it or smell it? No, I just thought I could smell it. I didn't shit myself. Now it looks like I did. For fuck's sake, tell me. I don't like having this. Well, wait a minute. I hate having this. I'd just like to point out, obviously, because Pippa now has the camera on her, and we noticed this in the nativity, I don't know if anyone else did, alright, but old David Brent over there, because when you tell Pippa there's a camera on it, when I was doing the narration for the nativity, I was looking out into the crowd, alright, When Pippa did it, it was looking at crap and then a look up at her own camera.

39:15I thought you wanted it down the barrel. I just watched it. She's talking to the camera. So she'd go, listen, I didn't shit myself. Sam, Sam, don't, don't. And the thing is, guys. Yeah, pleading the case to the listener. She's literally at the camera. I didn't. So welcome, David Brent. Pippa, no, but be honest. Come on. No, I was going through the time of finding out I was intolerant to gluten whilst working with Sam Hill. You haven't mentioned it. No, it's a gluten-free office. But Sam was extremely understanding and empathetic about that, as you can imagine, and tried to force-feed me gluten.

39:48Oh, yeah, no, no. When someone told you they're gluten intolerant, there was nothing like going to buy him a loaf of bread. Yeah, just started delivering pizza, pasta, just to have it nearly. And then, so because of that, you shit yourself? I didn't shit myself. I just needed to shit more frequently. Don't tell me. Tell the camera, mate. Bipper, Bipper, don't lie. I just happened to go more frequently whilst at work. Such a liar. it was an evening show and I'd often have dinner while I was I don't know I'm over explaining you're done we have enough we still have to work in that fucking building and do you know what I mean like no wonder that was fucking it's still been pebbledash I'm going to be only waiting outside Pippa's bathroom no that's weird alright well listen that is the first bonus episode done of of 2026 thanks for listening make sure you rate reviewed all of that sort of stuff if you want to feature in the podcast email hellosrproductions.co.uk at social sorry on socials we're at Staying Redmond Podcast make sure you subscribe on YouTube it's goodbye from Sam goodbye from me and goodbye from Shitty Pippa oh by the way I feel like this is a new year new us thing I think we should just in repeats no Pete no wait I think we should just also say have a wonderful day wherever you're listening to or walking your dogs or animals you have to take your first photo do you remember you wanted to take one every record oh nice yeah cool Have a wonderful day.
