Sam and Pete Are Going on a Double Date?!

In short

Bonus “birthday week” episode (part two) focused on Pete. The hosts plan a “double date” scenario (Centre Parks vs Pontins vs caravan holiday), trade earliest memories (rabbit poo, matchstick cards, salt-drinking near miss, sister’s “seeing dead people”), and do birthday-memory roundups. They also read a challenge email from Capital Breakfast (Jordan North, Sian Welby, Chris Stark) to a live paddle match, with Sam and Pete accepting and trash-talking. Key claims/examples: Pete’s earliest memory involves matchstick card games; Sam recalls nearly drinking salt; they discuss a Vegas roulette bet (red/black) and snowboarding mishaps on black runs.

Guests

No podcast guests appear; only the hosts Sam Thompson and Peter James Wicks, plus referenced radio personalities (Jordan North, Sian Welby, Chris Stark) via email challenge.

4:18I didn't know if you heard, but the Capital Breakfast team, Jordan North, Sian Welby, Chris Stark, have challenged you to a paddle game live on the radio. Are you rising to the challenge? Team staying relevant all the way. All the best prayer. Now, the reason I'm taking this one is because I spoke to the guys when I was on Capital the other week for the dog show. Jordan and Chris, they played a bit of paddle. And I said, you know, Sam and I played a bit of paddle. Chris's words were, they would smash us. Oh, fuck off. Oh, fuck off. No, let's do it. Yeah, so off air, this is what he said to me.

4:55And I said... What did you say? You might smash us a paddle, but I'll hurt you. Back us up, mate. Well, I've played once. You were good. I'm all right. I can smack the ball. Mate, Chris Stark's a barbecue, mate. He doesn't know anything about paddle. I love Chris Stark but if we're talking smack doesn't sound as if you do just a barbecuer not a broadcaster I'm happy with that I'm happy with that no he's just you know he's a fucking barbecue bloke yeah mate what the fuck do you know about paddle but Jordan North doesn't have a clue oh my god nervous so fight and talk so is this going to be capital versus staying relevant yes absolutely do them in so you're confident are you because I mean And you - Trust us.

5:44You tend to be overconfident in the sporting world, which sometimes isn't always backed by, you know, what happens. Do you think we're ready having not played together before and having only played with your bird and paper? Let's put your money on it. Let's put my money on it. Let's put your money on it. All right, deal. Fine. Okay, down the barrel of the camera. Right, Jordan North, Chris Stark. Sean Welby. Sean, it will be involved. How have we got to play threes up? Well, no, mate, but they can tag team. Oh, does that mean we're going to have to bring Pippa? No, fuck no. Hey, we're going to find a team.

6:20Yes, I'm back. No, can't do that, mate. Yes. What a win. No, no, no, no, no. She's, no. You've got to have to. No, listen, I don't mind losing if they're better than us, but I don't want to embarrass myself. No, neither. I can't do. Limbs flying all over the gaff. Not a charge. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not unless she gets a bit more comfortable with a fucking wall. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You were nervous of that wall, weren't you? I'll take a lesson if you let me join in. Deal. Okay, we need to use your bats anyway. So, great. Actually, you can come. It's like when someone needs to bring their football, we don't really want to play with you, but we need your ball.

6:50Yeah, and I'm going to be honest with you, I don't think that's all the kind of greatest start for us because I'm pretty sure they're called paddles, which is why it's called paddle. Excuse me, Chris, can I borrow one of your bats, please, mate? Is that all right? I'll have one of them clubs. Mate, we'll do them. I'll put money on it. So go on then, call them out. All right, cool. Fucking wankers. Jordan. Key. No, mate, we've got, it's got you fighting, talking. Yeah, there's fighting, talking, and then there's just insulting people. They're also a breakfast show, so let's allow them to play it.

7:20Jordan, you fucking prick. No, no, no, let's just allow them to play it on the breakfast show. Okay, fine, cool. Which means language. Hello, Capital Radio, aka Sian Welby, Jordan North, and Chris Stark. If you would like to challenge us to a game of paddle, we humbly accept your invitation. We think we should put a bit of money on it. Maybe that money goes to charity. Who knows? Guys, I'd just like to put out it's Sam's money we're putting on this. I absolutely back us at Staying Relevant to whoop your butts on the court. Genuine, if you want to do this, mate, if you want to get hurt. Don't take up the whole breakfast show with this.

7:54Just sort of like we're challenging. We'll see you on the court. And yeah, just be there or be square. No, that was some great fighting talk. I don't know. It's got to be radio worthy. Yeah, well, exactly. Capital Radio will absolutely accept the challenge. And I'm going to be honest with you, you're all going to be crying and we're going to smash you. Yeah, yeah. You're going to be crying like babies. Especially after you've wound me up already, Chris Stark. I'm coming for you. Exactly, barbecue-er. Nice. Yeah, I'm out getting them. I bet Chris Stark's quaking in his boots right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

8:25He's going to run to Peter Crouchy. Guess what they've said to me. Oh, I've got a friend called Crouchy. Do you know what I mean? Football friend. He's just long. I don't know what that does. Why is he getting fucking strays? I don't know. Okay, good. Glad we've tackled that. Nice guy. All right. Great fucking message though from Freya. Hi, Pete, Sam and the awesome team. I've just seen a headline from Paul McCartney saying he can remember being born. Yes, yes, yes. Paul McCartney can remember. Paul McCartney says he remembers being born. It reminded me of Sam. What is everyone's earliest memory?

9:02Mine is eating rabbit poo. when I was about three. It actually tasted quite nice. So my mum bought some rabbit treats for me instead from the pet shop. Right, I'm just... No, there's no name on this. I don't know whether we should have put this on there. I know we say the bonus episode is all about you. All right. And I know we say get in touch. Some of you don't. Don't get in touch. This person, never again. Don't... Just delete the email. It's not hella... For you, it's goodbye at srproductions.co.uk. okay, I don't want to read this sort of crap. Well, actually, I'm intrigued, if anything, because it's like...

9:38What are you intrigued about? Rabbit shit? Actually, yes. To be honest with you... Well, funny enough, we've got some for you to try. Well, it's not so much for me, but basically, this boy or girl has been eating rabbit poo at three, and then her mum's been like, well, look, if you want your own shit to taste like rabbit poo, here's some treats, is how I'm reading that. I suggest what we go with is that middle paragraph we'll just ignore and we'll just go with Paul McCartney can remember being born apparently, the same as Sam. So that is your earliest memory, yeah? It is, yeah. So really the question is just for me because you already know what Sam's earliest memory is, don't you, moron?

10:18So what's my earliest memory? I've never asked Pete this before, actually. God, I don't... Take a minute, mate, take a minute. I really want to know this. Do you know what? What's my earliest memory? Stick related? Matchstick related is the first thing pops to mind. Yeah. It's playing, my nan teaching me to play cards with matchsticks at hers when I was a kid. Why not the cards? No. No betting with matchsticks. Oh, right. Oh. Yeah. I thought you were holding a matchstick and I'd go, God, how hard up were you? Fucking hell. He said, just got matched. God, one day nan will be able to buy a pack of real cards.

10:58No, we got the cards. No, I'd get poker or something like that. Well, no, just being out a bit on rummy and all sorts of stuff. Yeah, like a little bit of 21s and that. You all are in the same bed. Yeah. Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Fucking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Hoping for the golden ticket. Hoping for a pack of cards one day. That's, weirdly enough, that's what came to mind. No, mate, that's a lovely memory. Yeah, I like that. How old do you think you were? Four, five? Yeah, fours. I feel like fours are quite early. I don't really remember much before that. And to be honest with you, I don't really remember much after that up until about 30.

11:39Is that when you bought your first deck of cards? You made it fucking hell, I've done it. Yeah, I don't know why that's probably so much. There must be other things, but I can't really think of anything. Look, before it was a normal eight. I remember being four. Well, I mean, you remember being minutes old. Yeah, but I don't remember much after that, but I remember being four and I remember going for my first swimming lesson and practising my breaststroke in the kitchen. Yeah, I think that would be my earliest memory. Really? Dambling from a young age. Yeah, dambling with my nan is my earliest memory.

12:11Yeah, I don't know why that popped into my head, but that would be my kind of... That's a fucking good email, though. I do remember one more thing. I once nearly died. I basically remember when I was super young and I think that my parents were having a party or something and they like had like friends around they were all in the kitchen and um and we were playing downstairs and uh i didn't want to i didn't want to like interrupt the party upstairs and i was really thirsty and i there was a what looked like washing liquid in a big fucking white thing i went i'll just drink that looks like it's looks like it's sort of like liquid this explains a lot opened it to drink it turned out thank god it was just salt but i did a big big drink of salt it could have gone a lot worse did this happen yeah so how did salt look like a drink it was in one of those long containers you didn't know what was in it because it was just a white container and it was just salt I remember that very well and I feel like that's why I now like salt so much because I have a penchant for it since I was young since you started doing shots of salt pretty much yeah and I remember my sister God, it's all flooding back now.

13:26This must have been when I was about four. What did she... She saw dead people. Shots of pepper. Now she used to see dead people, mate. Fucking wild. That's a film. I know, but it was like Six Senses, mate. She used to literally wake up screaming, going, there's somebody in my bedroom. Well, you should have got out then. I remember playing Pokemon in my bedroom. And she was like, ah, someone's in my room. I was like, oh my God. And then she used to sleepwalk. She used to speak in tongues. Yeah, she was weird, man. I remember I went to go and see a... You used to season yourself. I know, but other than that, I was kind of normal.

14:01Me and my mum once went to see a healer because my mum used to go to healing. Why are you crossing your arms? Don't cross your arms. Why are you shutting your eyes? You can't sleep through my story. You can't rest your head on the mic and sleep through my story. Well, I'm going to tell it anyway. I went to a healer, right? Spiritual healer. Yeah, spiritual healer. Yeah, and your mum used to go to this. Yeah. And you're wondering why your sister reckons she saw dead people. Well, this is a thing. Then, so he also used to do something called astral projection, right? Which means that he could project himself in the spiritual realm outside his body.

14:37And then what would happen is he could go and see the person who was afflicted by seeing spirits. So he then went, oh my God, your sister's gifted. She got the gift. She can see spirits. She can see dead people. And I went, oh my God, what about me? He went, no, you're normal. I was really upset. I thought you'd be like that anecdote, but the silence in the room says something different. Question time. Question time. If you're both planning a double date, where would you go excited to hear how these differ? I imagine these double dates would be for me and you. What on earth gives you that idea?

15:14I don't know. Okay, so we're going on a double date. Yeah. Where would we? Fuck me. Who do you think you're planning it for? Well, the only thing is exciting to see how these differ. Yeah. Your ideas. On your idea of a good double date and mine. Well, imagine it's just dinner. It's not what would a double date for Jack and Jill versus Stacey and Dave be. It's what are your ideas compared to Pete's? What would you think that would be like? Jack and Jill would probably go up the hill, catch a pail of water. Stacey and Dave. They'd probably just turn up to the fucking job centre and... Right. Do you want to do yours first?

15:46Okay. If I'm being deadly serious, for me, a double date... Not a holiday. No, because that would be, if you were planning a holiday, where would you go? Well, it's because me and Pete are planning on going skiing together with both our other halves. But the question... All right, fine. Or... I mean, paintballing could be fun. But I imagine that's more for us. Well, 100%, yeah. Clip and climb? No. Arse jokes. That one is purely for you. Okay. I think we should get Liv on a clip and climb. No. Nah, she'd like it. She'd like it. She's that tall, she'll just fucking, she'll just climb up. Great, great, mate.

16:23And then we can all be like, oh, my God. No, Liv won't be doing clip and climb. You should go to a clip and climb with her, though. Yeah. Trust me, nothing brings out the romance. See, this is why I don't ask you advice about what to do for my listeners. Okay, fine. Cinema. All right, fucking hell. I'm just trying to think of something that's not dinner, that could be quite enjoyable.

16:49In 2011, a woman's body was found in a California vineyard. This is one of those types of murder investigations that you come across maybe once, maybe never. It appeared the killer tried to make the victim unidentifiable. Much more extreme than any other case I'd ever worked on. It haunted me. For over a decade, she was a Jane Doe. Then she finally had a name. But learning her identity is when the real mystery began. The killer knows who you are, but you don't know who the killer is. So be careful, because that's not a one and done. I'm Olivia LaVoice, and this is Ada. All episodes available now.

18:10Certified to operate by Shev.

18:18Skateroom. That would be an argument. Imagine that. Within about 30 seconds of us being in there, there would be a death. I would love to see the dynamic of who would take, because Pete would be etching to take charge, but I think Liv would probably take charge as well. And I feel like me and Tali would be watching, and we'll just follow you guys. And they'll be like, no, you're doing this. No, we're doing that. And you'd be like, who's going to win this battle? Yeah, Skateroom. That's a very you double date, I think. Skateroom or paintballing. Or paintballing. Yeah, that's a very me and you date.

18:50Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's a date. I like paintballing. Okay. For me, some sort of beef eater restaurant. And the gin. No, some sort of beef eater. Me and I will have dinner. There's usually sort of a ball pit or something for you and Taddy to play. That would probably be the double date. No. Do you know what? Centre parks. Oh. I love centre parks. I know I'm not going, but I think you'll all have a great time. I know Liv doesn't mind centre parks. Like a little staying can. Loads of activities and stuff. She's very sporty and very good at stuff. So not clip and climb. Come on. But like archery and shit like that.

19:34Yeah, axe throwing. Do you know what would be a good one? Clay pigeon shooting. Something like that. Yeah. So a bit of farmhouse. A bit of Sunday roast. A bit of clay pigeon shooting. Some sort of. Wellies. activity something like that that kind of that isn't clip and climb or sort of paintballing where it's messy something you can just kind of do swimming imagine if we all went swimming together in the rapids imagine we all just started doing legs but i think that's a nice thing because you know you go and do something like senate parks then what you can do is sort of um meet together for the dinner but everyone's done different activities during the day because the conversation may run dry.

20:15So at least if we've all done something different, then we can all, we can all group back together and tell everyone about our day. What, what, what's the, not Butlins, what's the other one? Pontins. Pontins, yeah. Why don't we go Pontins? No, no, no, no, no. Why not? No. Just the vibe there is different. I think me, you, Liv and Zally, she's got a dull day to Pontins. I'm going to be honest with you then, this might make me sound sort of unrelatable because Centre Park's, I do like Centre Park's, they're fucking expensive. It is fucking expensive. but we're all loaded. So... But you used to hit Pondons up when you were a kid.

20:49No, we didn't do Pondons. No, mate, that was a step up from what I did. Mate, we used to fucking... Great Yarmouth, you said. Yeah, exactly. We used to just get a caravan. Yeah, lovely. Yeah, a Pondons. Why don't we do that? We'll go on a caravan trip. What part, in all honesty, can you see live in a caravan with you? To be honest with you, quite easily. or play ball games together? By choice. Yeah. I don't know why else you'd do that, really, but, like, what'd you do? What'd you do? What, in a caravan? Yeah. But it's pretty much just, you just sit miserably

21:27while it rains outside and you go, nice to get away. It's basically a caravan holiday. I know we spoke about caravan holidays for... I would love to do a caravan... I think SR should do a caravan holiday. Oh, well, I'm in. Yeah, I think it's like... You know, I've never done one. I really want to do one. I want to go to Pontings. No, Sam, you don't even know what Pontings is. No, but it sounds cool. Then go to Pontings, but we'll do a caravan holiday because that's not the same as a caravan holiday. Pontings is forced fun and children. Oh, right. And like it's... Pontings is a shite butlins, basically.

22:01Okay. But a caravan holiday is literally a family in a caravan park where there's nothing really happening. That's what makes a caravan holiday. But pontines, there's like a creche for the kids and there's activities and they have like quiz nights. And caravan holiday is literally, we have a caravan. What do we do now? Like that's what makes a caravan holiday. You have to find your own shit to do. You bring your own burger, like it's raining. And then you have to worry about what to do for dinner. And like pontines, there's restaurants. What do you do for dinner at a caravan? Well, you can cook.

22:38You know, sometimes you'll find the local eatery, which is normally a pub of some sort and then you have to walk to the pub because you can't drive there because you have to be drunk. But it's always raining because you kind of want to do the caravan holiday really for you all to get the proper experience a bit around now. Well, it's quite unpredictable weather. You don't know. So you can't really plan for what to do and you just have to wake up and go, oh, it's raining again. It's the fourth day straight. So what should we do then? And then someone goes, oh, fuck, mate. And then you sit up with a board game again and then you have to carry the board games over a day because there's nothing else to do.

23:19This sounds amazing. And then someone will want to cook a roast dinner and it takes three days for that to happen because the oven is running off a gas cylinder that is cutting out and then someone has to go outside in the fucking rain and reconnect the fucking gas. And then you have the roast dinner and someone's got the fucking two bob bits after it and then gas is out the entire thing. but you can't go outside because it's pissing the rain. So then you just have to sit in a shit-smelling caravan. How many bathrooms are there normally? Normally, just the one, mate. But you get to these modern-day caravans, you've probably got en-suites and stuff, but back in the day, you'd have one caravan, and it's normally placed next to the kitchen between the bedroom.

23:57So you'd have, like, your bonquette fucking sofa, all right, which doubles up into a mattress with a tiny little table to play your board games. then you'd have a little kind of kitchen then your toilet would be there but it wouldn't have a door it'd just have one of them slidey cardboard sort of ones that comes across so you can hear when someone's dropping a load when you're all sat there playing the fucking playing the board game and then next to that it would be the one bedroom now the bedroom will sometimes have two two kind of levels of it so it might be sort of like a double bunk you can hear someone's having a bang as well yeah but you don't really do that on a Calvin holiday because the last thing you are is horny and then you get up in the morning whoever gets up makes the coffee and then you have to clear away the mattress that you know someone has sort of you know just farted all over all night it's just a real pleasurable experience it sounds fucking phenomenal I really want to go on one of these trips with you guys I really really do and then there's no showers and that in the caravans back in the day so that's why you go to the caravan park where you go to the communal showers and then there's always an old liver spotted bloke with his cock out in the fucking, just every fucking time you go there, he's there.

25:07Is he a bit dicey or is he normal? You'd be fine. So anyway, there we go. Oh mate, gotta do that, fuck me. What's everyone's favourite memory of birthday boy Pete? Oh, fuck. Here we go, about birthdays, he probably won't remember half of them. The problem is with my birthday, I'm always on my own, so there's no one to remember the fucking birthday. No, just memories of you. I was interpreting it as. Oh, what's your favourite memory of Pete? We have to all go around and say our favourite memory of you. Okay. Oh, well, it's funny that everyone's left the room. I think mine is going into the Vegas toilet to scrub my face with you and then you paying off the doorman to get me in the club.

25:45After threatening him. After threatening him. Twice. That's a very good memory. That is such a rogue memory as well. But it's fun. Yeah, that was good. Me actually wiping your face in the fucking, in a Vegas casino shitter. I wasn't allowed in. Do you remember when you couldn't go in because you had the face paint on and then you came out and got me? I was already in there. This is after you made me and Ted walk down the fucking highway to get to this random place. Yeah, and then they won't let Josh in. Right, I'll sort this. And then went out. Gangster. And then I watched Pete just slip him a wad of notes.

26:17I went, come on, mate, don't be a c***. You let you in? Yeah. Let you bloody go. All night long, karaoke. I'm going to go with my earliest memory, which is meeting you, which is when us three went for lunch at Soho House. I'm glad it's memorable for you. First time I ever met you. And we walked in and I was walking in with Sam and you were there and we sat down and it was all very nice. And then you just looked me dead in the eye and you were like, so tell me why it should be you then. In context of why we should set up the company. Yeah. What are you going to do for me? Nice. And then it just went from there.

26:57That's your favourite memory. Because it was just the most real introduction to anyone I've ever heard. I loved it. I thought, okay, cool. Right, here we go, babe. I've got so many. One of mine was when we went snow bombing together and me and Pete both not knowing where we were skiing. So they've decided to follow me and I've gone down this fucking thing. And then Pete's just zoomed ahead of me because he hasn't stopped his snowboard. And he's trying to stop, right? And he's gone, fucking hell! He's going down a black run. Me and Pete have never snowboarded for all our lives. For context, right?

27:40Yeah. So this is exactly what... So don't worry, I know the way back. I know where we're going. Sam, taking us straight down a fucking black run. Mate, I don't think this is the way we fucking come. He started on the way down, just sort of steadily going, and I've gone, well, fuck it, here we go then. I couldn't stop the fucking thing, so I've just gone straight past, didn't realise until... I nearly broke my fucking neck. Mate, Pete then tries to, like, as you should actually do on a snowmobile stop, and he smashes his face on the thing, but he comes up, and he's got, like, this white face with, like, snow all down it, and he gets up, and he goes, right, I'm done, I fucking finished.

28:20I remember what I said. I went, well, that was fucking clever, wasn't it? Right, I'm done. And he goes to the bar. He goes to like the shat, not the shat. They're like, you know, when you get those like eateries and like those booze places, like midway down the mountain. And he just goes, he doesn't talk to anyone and just posts up for the rest of the day, doesn't move from by the bar. And it was just one of my funniest memories. I just, I think about it all the time. So funny. My other one that's actually way better is when Pete gave Josh and I a wad of money to bet in Vegas, but the condition was we had to put it all on red or black and we were stood at that roulette table.

29:00That is iconic. Well, you two had never gambled in a casino. So we were in Vegas. It was like towards the end. Obviously, we were staying in a casino. So we'd walked past the casino so many times. Yeah, that was the night. I'll give you a fucking thousand dollars. I went, right, but you have to agree together. your team and just double up to where you can get to. And everyone was gathered around the table and we were like nervously deciding as if there was logic to it. And we weren't allowed to, we've actually got a video. You made quite a bit of money from that. Yeah, we won. He said you had to put it all on red or black was the only condition.

29:34And then I said, it's up to you. You can then either take a grand each or you go again and risk it. But this is like free money. And didn't you get like, Yeah, they made a fair whack. Well, we got it right the first time. It was the first two times we got it. The first two times, So you doubled up twice and then I remember going, well, you can leave it there. And you were like, no, just carry on. I said, well, don't put it all on this time then because then you can go. So then you're halved and you lost that one. That was great. That was so good. And it was the, I will never forget the watching it spin round.

30:02And Pete was like staring like so scared and it was your face when it won. Yeah, that was a nice little fucking thing. Do you know what? A memory for me, for all of us, was XS. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Access was class. Oh, I have a really cute video of the... And actually, I've just found out that that is the night that Josh found out he was going to be a dad. Fuck. Whilst we were at the club. So a really special night. No wonder you were enjoying that night. You were loving it. I did all night. Yeah. Really special night all round, that one. Yeah, it was a great night. Expensive night. It was the best fucking table in the club, wasn't it?

30:38Yeah, and then next to us, the table was LA Dodgers and they brought out that whole tray of Dom Perignon. Yeah. Yeah. And you two were like, right. came out your nose. Yeah, you two were like, right, get us what that is because the Dodgers had it. You two were like, get that. Yeah, they had a show come through and went, shall we? Put that on the fucking Stay Irrelevant card, lovely. Yeah, you two. We fucking didn't in the end, though. It went on my fucking, my personal one. I tell you, I've got one more, one more story for me that I really love. This is fun. It's when you tell people that you're going to pay the bill and then you let, and then you leave and then make Pete pay the bill.

31:10Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. Which time are you going to go with? It's so fun. Well, we can go snow bombing or Colorado. Now, snow bombing was a genuine one. Colorado was just fucking. And, like, hearing Pete's, like, rant after that was just fucking brilliant. I'm going to give a nice one as well is you with Leo. Leo. You'd never met Leo properly before and you were in him broed out. Well, actually, you kind of made him hate me. But, yeah, you and him broed out a lot and that was really, really nice. The obvious ones are obviously like you coming on the run and all that fucking shit. But like, I feel like the day to days are always like the best ones.

31:49Well, on that note, then I'm going to end this episode with one of the most special times for all of us you're about to see.

32:56in 2011 a woman's body was found in a California vineyard this is one of those types of murder investigations that you come across maybe once, maybe never it appeared the killer tried to make the victim unidentifiable. Much more extreme than any other case I'd ever worked on. It haunted me. For over a decade, she was a Jane Doe. Then she finally had a name. But learning her identity is when the real mystery began. The killer knows who you are, but you don't know who the killer is. So be careful, because that's not a one and done. I'm Olivia LaVoice, and this is Ada. All episodes available now.

From the publisher

Sam and Pete chat about going head-to-head with some fellow presenters in a game of padel. But how would their skills stack up, and would they actually make a good team? Before Sam reveals that, much like Paul McCartney, he reckons he can remember being born... which gets everyone talking about their earliest memories.


Meanwhile, the boys have very different ideas of what their dream double date would look like, and with Pete's birthday just gone, we're looking back at some of his most memorable birthdays. Sam shares one of his funniest memories of Pete, which prompts Producer Pippa to reveal a rather chaotic story of her own from Vegas...
