1:58And, you know, like, I understand if you don't like that. But, like, you know, you have to understand that, you know, we're all trying to make everyone happy. And, you know, sometimes Pete will swear. Sometimes I will swear. The C-bomb's quite an aggressive word. But Lily's got in touch. Lily has emailed and she's going, Hello, Sam and Peter. A very, oh, very happy birthday, Sam. I remember you had a cake on the podcast last year and made a wish. Can we know what you wish for, please? love you both so much thank you for making my morning commute not on the tube that little bit easier I'm surprised you're not on the tube people do commute other ways yeah but how get in touch how are you commuting together driving I commuted by motorbike today you did I saw when I drove into our little spot I went oh nice so that's the motorbike on the floor then I was like I was parking with Talia I actually went oh I've got a bit more space to ease in a little bit more space to drive the wagon in you might have a couple of clips yeah a couple of clips still managed to fucking curb the fucking wheels on a motorbike.
2:58But yeah. So yeah, you made a wish last year. Yeah. I actually remember my wish because I took it seriously. Well, that's good because the question is, what did you wish for? Yeah, but I actually, like I, I'm surprised I remember it because I normally wouldn't take, I just like pretend or something, but I do remember it. And it said, I really, really hope that the next, the year coming is, is as good as this one has been. So I was like, I hope that, No, that's... Don't look at me like that. Well, the reason I think that's bullshit is because the year before was one of the worst of your life. No, fucking the O2, the fucking run.
3:33The O2 was after... It was August. So it was before the O2. It was before tally. Yeah, just after the run. After the run. Yeah. You were feeling very grateful. I was feeling very grateful at that point. And I'd had like a wonderful time. I was like, I hope next year. So would you say this year has been better than the year before? Do you know what? it's been it's been different it's definitely different because like pete says is that you can't always have these huge moments you know because i think with this company even for example like you know you do the o2 it's like what's next in my head wembley but it's like we can't just hit wembley straight away right no instead we won another trick award got sunday times best seller we did some fairly big things no no we did big things but my point is this is coming from you is that you've got to recenter yourself got to rebalance and you've got like you've got to sort of like go back to sort of like beginning almost and rebuild again even bigger and i feel like this has been one of those years where like it's been really really good but for like loads of different reasons that aren't like sort of like the o2 and things like that so yeah it's been a it's been a great building year that's what i call it's been a wonderful building year personally as well did you make a wish on the cake you've just had no i didn't because it was sparklers i couldn't even blow it out.
4:45All right. Well, let's, let's, I'll tell you what, let's hold some confetti. Oh, my little birthday boy. No, no. Hold some confetti because you've got to blow it. Hold some confetti. All right. Here we go. Think about this. All right. Make a wish and then blow the confetti out. Sam's making a wish. There you go. Okay. So this time next year, we're going to find out what the confetti wish was. Yeah. Well, wonderful. Right. Next email. Huge news, guys. He hated that email, so I love it when Pete hates the emails. Huge. Right, anyway. Yeah, thanks, Liddy. Never email again. Huge news, guys. Can I just say one more thing?
5:29We haven't had you getting aggy at an email for a while, actually. Well, that one was just fucking dull, wasn't it? Let's be honest. You know what I mean? I love it. I remember when you used to get so shitty with the listener. And they used to literally tell me about, that was fucking shit. Do you remember when we did the people sending things? Oh, well, Postman Pete. Postman Pete. And the song. We're so good. That was the worst. Really, really shit drawings. Well, Lily, and I don't mean to be horrible, but you might as well have just emailed saying, what do you think of the weather, guys? You know what I mean?
6:02Anyway, next up, huge news, guys. Have you seen Skinny Jeans are making a comeback? Oh, not again. Apparently, popularity and internet searches for skinny jeans has spiked 99 % compared to the start of the year. What else are you campaigning to bring back? And will you be skinny genie-ing it up? Love you all so much. Brooke. Mate, do you know what? It's not even that I like. You loved a jig. I loved a skinny genie. I loved a skinny genie. But I've only just moved over. I can't fucking move back again. Yeah, you were two years late to the moving over. I'm always late to the party. And also in this heat as well, Like, I don't know how I survived skinny jeans.
6:43Like, just constricted, warm legs. I mean, Sam, it was a skinny jean and a high-top trainer. Oh, yeah, it wasn't it just. With the old purple Balenciaga hoodie. Or a Chelsea boot. A really dirty Chelsea boot. Only you, because you bought one pair that you wore. What were they? Russell and Bromley's. What colour? Tan. That you wore non-stop for about four years. they were so fucked yeah honestly it looked like he'd been I don't know sort of laying a patio in them I'd thrown up in them and all sorts what in them? no but on them and stuff oh right do you know what so I wore those Chelsea boots I wore the first time I met you when we did Let's Go Dating did you?
7:27those are the same Chelsea boots and I've still got them at home my god get rid of them yeah I've got them now it's almost like a keepsake I've had them on for like I've had them for like 7 years what a sick covered pair of boots yeah most people take a photo I'm a hoarder you are a little bit of a hoarder yeah I hoard things for sure so do you think now that you've kind of entered into your your kind of baggy era yeah I can't go back I can't do it but what if even if Jacob Lillardy's doing it I can't do it you know like sometimes people have it sometimes people don't I can't keep following Jacob Lillardy I honestly every time he's wearing something new I'm like well I best get that like it's just I need to know where I sit now you know I know where I stand the fashion's mediocre and that's okay And so, you know, I'm not going back.
8:09Are you going back? What's the skinny jeans? I, do you know what the problem is? Is you can never say never. Yeah. You know what I mean? You can never say never. Because, listen, but what I would say is that I think there's a big difference between style and fashion. Fashion is following trends. Fashion is what is hot right now. Style and personal style is what suits you. The skinny jean era for me with the fucking St. Laurent boots and a fedora, I don't think that's coming back anytime soon because at that point it didn't suit me back then. I look like Guy Fawkes. So I look like V for Vendetta.
8:53So now I feel like I've just hit what suits me. I'm not as much of a baggy guy as you. I'm more of a 501 straight fit in the gym no not a boot cut straight fit because that's the only gene I know that's a completely different thing so you're not a boot cut guy no more of a it depends if I'm wearing a cowboy boot then you break out the boot cut stacked but I would say I would say now I've hit my style and what suits me and I'm not necessarily going to follow it's where you're staying yeah listen you stick in your lane sometimes you know buy what suits you I think you'll get there I can't be asked.
9:30I can't be asked to go back. I just, I refuse. I made the transition. I think you still have an evolution. I can't do it, mate. No, no, no. Not into skinny jeans, but finding your style. I just need to care more. I need to care more. No, I don't think you need to care. You need to just, you're still the Jacob Elordi thing. That's following a fashion. What do you like to wear? I like this. I like one wearing now. There you go. Then that's your style. So stick to that. Do you like one wearing now? Yeah, nice. Yeah, but she also liked your Wimbledon outfits. so I wouldn't trust that. Yeah, that's a really good point, actually.
10:00Fuck it, I'm really disappointed about that. We'll talk about that next week in the bonus, though. Christ, someone's in trouble. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got so much heat for wearing that and I remember walking to that dressing room and being like, Tally, how do I look? She went, lovely. So are you saying, then, that you are a no for the skinny jeans? I'm a no for the skinny jeans, but I am a yes for bringing the Healy back. Eh? Little wheels at the back of your shoe. When have you ever had a no? You must have been about fucking 10. Yeah, man, I fucking loved it. I used to race around the little shots of my Heelys.
10:28My mum used to take me shopping. Oh, it was amazing. I'd like to bring back a flat cap. Are they not standing on back in here? No, not really. It's a certain type of person that came off of a flat cap. The Peaky Blinders style Baker Boy. I really enjoyed them for a period of time. Yeah, but the problem is whenever someone wears a flat cap, everyone always goes, they're trying to be East End Peaky Blinder. Like, I know Birmingham and East End are different, but you know what I mean? Like, it's like you're trying to be that rather than you're enjoying wearing. But the Peaky Blinder phase that I had was before Peaky Blinders.
10:58I know, but now when I see people. But now it is annoying. Yeah, you can't not think that's what you're going for. Well, you fucking want to be Tommy Shelby. No, you ****. I like the hat. You like being at? I like the hat. Hat. You like the hat. Sorry. I thought you meant a snapback then. I'm so confused. So did I. I thought you meant a flatback. I was like, fucking hell. Get him in a fucking 50 cent. Like, here we go. No, because that's a snapback. I thought the exact same thing. I was so thrown off. Maybe. Do you know what? And I was like, I couldn't imagine Pete in like a fucking flat peak fucking snapback.
11:30Do you know what is actually something that it's not necessarily bringing back, but it is sort of bringing back for me because whenever I'm in America or when I'm abroad, I don't mind it. I would love to be able to just roll about in a cowboy hat. I'm dead serious as well. You've always loved it. I'm just, you just can't do it in London without someone going. Looking like a c***. Yeah, you just can't. And it's a real issue because who doesn't love wearing a cow? Me. How cool do you feel? No. Not for me. There is nothing cooler than wearing a cowboy hat. I'm sorry, but there's not. It just feels performative.
12:03I just can't. What are we protecting our heads from? Like what? It's such like a big thing. But hold on. It's so big. But well, if you get a 12 gallon, do you know what I mean? It depends on the hat type. If you're out there, I hear you. If you're like an actual, if that's like your culture and you're like out there in the West, Midwest, I get it. But if you're in London wearing a cowboy hat, I'm like, what? Why? Because I'm cool. That's why. Because I'm cool. Because I can. I would just love to. I really would. But it's just never going to catch on. And I'm too old to be shouted **** at by sort of young kids.
12:43Stick to the snapbacks for now. Yeah. Have you ever seen me in a snapback? Honestly, it's all I want now. And I want it to be slightly to the side. with a bandana underneath. I just text Annalise to order on. I just want it like slightly to the side, slightly down like that as well. Oh, it'd be brilliant. Yeah, it's not really a snapback-y type of guy, I'll be honest with you. It doesn't go. Do you know what? Another thing with mine, they're still knocking about in certain... What about a trouser chain? Nah, not for me again. We all know I like the keys on the old... Yeah, but you wear them anyway.
13:21You wear a Trails of Chain anyway. Haven't for about 10 years. Yeah, you have. When you bike, you do. I've seen you with the chain on. Literally about 10 years. I know. I've seen you. That's a lie. I've seen you wearing one. No, I think you're thinking of the keys. Oh, yeah. What are you talking about? The actual chain that runs with a wallet. A chain. What's the point in that? So, originally, the whole point of that, it's similar to what everyone says to me, why do you have the keys on the belt? And it is when I ride the bike, because obviously you sit down in the pockets and all the rest of it, it's just a lot more comfortable.
13:49But the chains are to put keys on so you don't lose them or whatever else. Or you actually can get clipped for a wallet so that your wallet goes in so you never lose your wallet. It's the whole point. And it's easy to get. And if you're on a bike, you can just fucking do things. And that's the whole. And it looks cool. But that's originally the idea behind them. I think you could do that. I think they're still knocking about in the cool cats here and there. But I'm just not cool anymore. We used to wear them at school. At boarding school. Yeah. with my salt rock trousers. I used to have salt rock baggy trousers.
14:22I've never heard of salt rock. And quicksilver tops. It's like Roxy almost. It's like, you know, for girls, it's Roxy. Like Animal. Do you remember Animal? I remember Animal. Salt rock trousers. It's kind of like that. Well, like Quicksilver. And Quicksilver top. Yeah. Oh, I can imagine you in a pair of Quicksilver boards. Mate, I used to dress. I used to dress like a surfboarder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's exactly how I used to dress. Surfboarder. Fucking hell. oh it comes naturally i used to dress like a surfer that's how i used to dress do you know what i'd like to bring back tunics i'd like to wear a tunic i genuinely would love to wear a tunic no i understand yeah why because it just when i look at the romans wearing them i'm like you look so comfortable and i'm like i like it you seem so free so a toga for me would be i would love people to be rocking around London in togas.
15:16That would be sick. Yeah. When I look back, I think to myself, I'd just love to wear a leaf. Adam did it. And there's nothing freer. Togas were class, mate. They were in. Have you ever worn one? No, but they look. When I see people wearing them around, I'm like, that's class. No, incredibly uncomfortable. Have you ever worn a toga? Yes. They're not uncomfortable. They're lovely. No, mate, because actually they don't fit properly. They constantly fucking fall down. You've constantly got things. If you're going to go down that point of free, and you and I have done it, let's make wearing a kilt okay.
15:51We were in the kilt. That's free. I mean, that is free. We did kilts in the first night of our first tour in Glasgow. That's freeing. I do understand that feeling. But the toga, it drags, it drapes, it falls off your shoulder. A little bit of skin on show as well. Do you know what I mean? Olive skin. you know we're like so you'd like to bring back togas and olive skin yeah just like the Roman times you just want to be a Roman although actually interestingly enough actually the more pale you were the better off you were as well yeah didn't actually didn't pay to have olive skin back in the day so Brooke I hope that's answered the question togas is what I'd like to bring back you looked cool in those sports sunglasses that was nasty that was a proper fucking low blow no I must agree it was a look I have never so just for context for anyone listening I put up a post last night genuinely again I asked my beautiful lovely girlfriend I went oh you know how do you think he's looking at me she went I think I think you're rocking it really well there's a common theme here I asked her I went how do I look that suggests that she doesn't like you she then went put it to the people and I went okay will do took a photo of me and went to the people I went hey do these suit me when I tell you I don't think I've ever like I've won the jungle I've done some like O2s and stuff I've never had so many messages in my entire life I've had thousands upon thousands I was showing we were looking at the thing no no no no no what the fuck are you doing disgraceful one person said it's character building like are you trying to mug yourself off it was so nasty and so I've thrown them away They are available at Dinelli.
17:38Don't see where I got them from. They look great on runners. Let me just caveat that with actually really lovely glasses for someone, not so much you. I think it was the whole look. But also, they're functional glasses. Yeah, they're running glasses. You know, they're cycling, they're running, they're that sort of thing. But, hey-ho, what would you say your worst fashion era was? I know mine. my worst fashion era would probably be five years ago five years ago in your whole life yeah five years ago we just it was the skinny jeans and the and the fucking not air force the high top shoes dunks the dunks like nothing went well there to be fair I just didn't care was that in the stage where your fashion icon wasn't Jacob Elordi it was Justin Bieber no it was before that before the Biebs yeah before that yeah Chelsea boots and skinny jeans I don't think that was your worst because I think that was, no, that can't be your worst because that was kind of, you were kind of on them.
18:36No one looked at you and went, God, he's terribly dressed. They just didn't pay attention. Yeah. I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I don't have that many eras, mate. Well, I'll tell you mine. I mean, the fedora era was a real issue. Remember Tony called you the man with the trilby? Yeah, that was a real issue. Actually, Liv said to me the other day, she found some old pictures and she went, that fucking thing I do with a chokehold. That was a serious fucking issue. But worse than that was when I was about 19, so you would have been at 14, so I don't think you were in that period. I had a skinhead and I was kind of a bit, I don't know, gothy maybe.
19:15Not gothy, but I had a skinhead, but I had black earrings, quite big black earrings. They were actually buttons and white T-shirt, waistcoat, rosary beads. a skinny jean, and a pointed sort of Jeffrey West style boot. Do you know who you look like? In my head is a club promoter. Yeah. Yeah. And it was about the time you were going to the clubs and that, and it was all from Top Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it was a real, it was a real, that was a bad phase when you look back and you go, fucking hell. Yeah.

20:57TikTok and stuff and like people now like judge everyone's outfits. So, Oh my fucking God. Do you see that thing where there was just a couple making out on that bench in New York and someone went up to them and filmed them making out. And now they're like, it's gone viral and it's like started this massive like discussion about whether it's right for you just to film people in public without them knowing. Nope. Yeah, mate. So there's this, this couple just, just kissing on a bench and like against their wishes. now everyone's seen them just like eating face on a bench. Yeah. Well, I think the guy's married.
21:31Oh, well, yeah. So I think he was cheating. Well, there's the issue, isn't it? Really? Yeah, something's the issue. Well, I'll tell you what, if you're married and you're fucking getting older someone on a bench, don't be an idiot. I think it was his colleague. Oh, right. I think it was another kind of Coldplay moment. Well, you know, less sympathy for that. Obviously, we all know my feelings on being fucking filmed in public because I just think you're a fucking rat, snitch, grass cunt. Because that's generally what... I just don't understand why you would do that on your night out or when you're doing St.
22:05God, what's the point? But in the same respect as well, if the geezer fucking men, don't do it in a public bench. Question time quickly. Question time. This is a good one. How is Rodney coping with no longer being an only child? He wasn't an only child because I have a dog called Eric. Rodney is having a lovely time. He's currently on holiday with his sisters. Actually, this is a good opportunity for me to mention why Eric isn't in a lot of things. Eric is 13, currently has cancer and is blind and deaf. So no, he doesn't go out with two Rottweilers and a Caucasian Shepherd that often. He doesn't walk that often.
22:40That's responsible dog ownership. So how about you fuck off for all the people that think Eric is just sort of in a cupboard. he has a lovely life but he's quite old now so I have to do different things with different dogs but yeah Rodney and his sisters are currently in Wales on holiday oh nice yes making friends with an Irish wolfhound oh lovely having a lovely time yes really lovely time so he loves it he loves it it's really nice and what is the ideal summer temperature for you Pete in degrees please depends where you are what about in London 30 30 in London 30 It's a bit oppressive that is.
23:18Fuck me. Well, I don't know because it's terrible when you're working, but when it's 30 degrees in London, everyone loves it because you go to the fucking pub. So again, what's the ideal temperature? It depends. When you're working, 30, quite hot. But we have an air-conditioned office, air-conditioned night. It's not that bad. When it gets to 35, it's a lot. It's too much. But I'd say 30 in London because pub, everyone wants to go for a drink. You get outside. It's lovely on the bike. Like 30, I think, is where we limit ourselves. Between, let's say, 26 and 30. I'm just about to say 26 for me is ideal.
23:5126 and 30 for London. Yeah. Because I think you can cope. You can cope with it. Above 30 in London, horrific. Horrific. There's no worse city to be, I don't think, in that kind of stifling heat because we don't have air con traditionally in London. Yeah, yeah. Or the Tube. Do you know what? London, we're not cut out for cold or hot. No. We're cut out for moderate temperatures. Yeah. That's literally – We thrive in sort of mediocre weather. We thrive in sleet. We like grey. We absolutely do not thrive in sleet. We thrive in grey sort of like... Drizzle. Four degrees drizzle. No, four degrees. Drizzle, just really nondescript weather.
24:31Maybe in eight. Maybe in eight degrees. Yeah, nondescript. Grey drizzle. Yeah. We're over the moon with that. When there's snow, ice, sleet, anything like that, we shut down. Oh, we can't deal with it. No, when it's above 25 degrees, we go, it's too fucking hot, it's too fucking hot. So, yeah, that's what I would say is the ideal summer temperature in degrees. But if I'm on holiday, I'm quite happy with a 40. Oh, no, no, no, no. Yeah, boy. Give me 32 away. Oh, no. Yes. Give him a bit of 40. Yes. Cremate me. Do you sun cream? it's fine with contention at the minute and I no no it's a real issue at the minute I creamed your back once you were lying down I remember very well I approached you from behind squirted on your back and then just massaged in yeah for the record guys never happened there's a video of it why is it contention because Liv has good skin that's after her skin and when we go on holiday So she's like factor 50 and I'm just sort of there in carrot oil looking like a Chesterfield sofa.
25:43Yeah, I hear you though. She says, you need to start looking after your skin at your age. It's past that point, I think. I'm sort of leather. So you've not been converted yet? Not yet, but we all know. I'll just do what I'm told, so. You'll be on the 50 soon. All right, on the temperature thing, would you rather be too hot or too cold? Too cold because I think you can warm up. Okay. I think you can warm up. Whereas like, for example, in my bedroom, it's freezing cold. I'd like it to be freezing cold. Yeah, because you make it hot. I do. I'm the hottest person. Yeah, boy. Tally will tell you. Yeah, Tally, is he the hottest person?
26:20Yeah, baby. Yeah, he's a hot guy. It's hot stuff. Hot stuff. But she's freezing, so she'll wear like a, not wear, she'll have like three hot water bottles. You don't think Tally's hot? Mate, she's got ice in her veins. Because it's like 30 degrees outside. You don't think girlfriend's hot? No, she's freezing. She's a smoke show. Yeah, nice. Go on, do it. Hey, baby girl. Baby girl. See, she joins in. Imagine Liv going, baby girl.
26:57I agree with you there. Do you have any pet names, Liv? He does. I already know. I can see the silence. No, I don't think I do. You must do. Even if it's babe. Well, it's not a pet name. I call fucking Pippa, but I call everyone babe. Okay, fine. Like, do you have a name for her that isn't for everything else? Petal? No, that's Petal. Come here, Petal. Right, Petal. Sounds like little... I bet it's just like a darling. Yeah, but I don't think it's because I call every... I don't think there's a specific name. Sweetheart. Sweetheart. All right, sweetheart. I think if I'm serious, I just... Full name, huh?
27:34Olivia. Yeah, not Olivia Rapp. Olivia. Olivia. Oh, so endearing. Yeah, rather than Liv, I think I Olivia. But I don't think I have a pet man. Maybe just throw a little baby girl her way. See what she's... Maybe just chuck a little baby girl down. Yeah, I mean, it's a different relationship. I don't think that would land as well. Just give it a go. I'm not sure that baby girl... No, girl. Baby girl. Baby girl. What, like a small tiger? Yeah, baby girl. Baby girl. Give her one of those. He's giving me a bit. He's going to be like, oh, baby girl. Yeah, but that's like Michael Marone having a stroke.
28:09Baby girl. I really, I think we should film it. I think Pete should film it and just for once, just go up to her just the one time and go, how you doing, baby girl? And see what happens. She'll go, are you drunk? Yes. No, I don't believe it. What's yours, tiny tits? No. Tiny tits? I call her tiny. That now sounds like you've just come up with that and called tiny that. You need the context there. You need the context. No, leave all context out. For your sake. Are you saying she's got tiny tits? I've never noticed them, but as I say. Oh, no. Not because they're so small. It's just because I've not been looking.
28:46Pete, that's disgraceful. She walked in and said, all right, tiny fucking tits. No, tiny tits. What is tits feet? Tiny tots, tiny tits. Just tiny. She's a tiny little thing. Yeah. But I have nicknames. For everyone, I have nicknames. For you, Phil Wicks, Peter. So my name with a rr on this. A lot of yours seems to end in rr, rr, rr, rr, rr. Pepper's called Munchensteinus. Genuinely, Munchensteinus. Yeah. Yeah, I have, like, Tally's got, like, five. Yeah, I'm just a... Does anyone have a nickname for Sam? What do you call me? Please? Bean, yeah, she calls me Bean. Bean. Has he ever, like, seriously, like, actually, seriously tried calling you, like, baby?
29:29Yeah. Like, in a serious way. You're right. So for example, obviously you do it and you've both got your kind of like little in jokes. But like, do you ever do it like, Tally baby, get ready. Do you know what I mean? Tally baby. Tally baby, get ready. Tally baby. Or like, babe, what do you want for dinner or fucking shut the door, darling? Do you know what? I actually said something to her recently when I was at radio and I was like, we're going to go to the market together and I was like, I went, I'll see you there, beautiful. And I was like, even that, I like, re-messaged afterwards going I just I think I say angel a lot that's nice see they're beautiful but she likes being called beautiful she liked that and I was like well I don't think yeah I think there's many women that don't no but like I don't know there's something about like being like see they're beautiful it's like ah like shoot me in the eye like I just you know what I mean it's just yeah but I think it doesn't come naturally to the way you speak yeah that's the thing I think when I say things like that it's not like off the cuff whereas for me I'd be like see they're tiny or like that for me Why don't we try that?
30:30Obviously, I say things like that quite a lot. Have we got any that you want Sam and I to say and we'll see how natural and unnatural they sound? Boo. Well, that's not natural for me, that one. That's not natural for me. Hey, boo. Hey, boo. Hey, boo. No, I sound like a creep. I can't imagine you. I've heard you say darling once to somebody and we all like stopped. You're like darling angel. You say sweetheart. Babe. Babe. I'll try all three of those. You just say like, fuck, we're ugly. Bitch tits. Clap slag. You alright, darling? No. Oh, no, it is. No, but it's got to be in the right context.
31:11It's not like, you're right, darling. It's got to be like, I imagine it's got to be like, within a sentence. I'll tell you what, imagine, because some people say they don't like this and like, you know, you get the people like, fucking sexist and all the other stuff. I grew up like that. Like, as in, like, that's what my nan used to say. To people I don't know. So even like waitresses or waiters or whatever else, I always say mate or babe or whatever else. I know some people don't like it, but I don't mean any offence by it. So let's just role play this then. So if someone bought me a coffee, I'd say thank you, babe.
31:42I'm going to bring you a coffee. All right? Ready for this? And then you're going to thank me. Okay. I'll bring you some water. Ready? Yeah. Nice, babe. Okay. The shudders from the room suggest that that's not natural.
32:02I hated that. So let's try another one. How would you like to pay for that? Card, darling. Card, darling. How would you like to pay for that? I would just card, darling. Thank you. Okay. All right. But, you know, so I would say darling in terms of like probably in like a posher way. Darling? Yeah, probably more like that. So like, but I wouldn't. but if I were to it'd probably sound a little bit a bit risky but like if I'd be like whatever you want darling like that would be how I say it I would be like if I try and say babe or darling in a Dagnum voice because I just am not that person I can't get away with it I am I had some I'm not your babe no no and I get it but obviously for me that's just been nice that some people don't like it and those people can fuck themselves.
32:53What do I say? What do I say? I don't really say anything to the girl. I just go like, yeah, I just say thank you. I say mate. I say mate to the guys. No, you're more of a, you know what, you've got out of that fucking state, dude. I used to love a dude. No, the worst, no, broski. Broski. I remember broski. I remember those days. You used to love a broski. I say buddy quite a bit now. Oh, no, this is a fucking, this is terrible. Thanks bud. Thank you buddy. Buddy, I've started doing. Yeah, Nothing wrong with a buddy. You say bud to guys. Cheers, bud. Yeah, you do that to guys. I heard you're on the phone to some guy.
33:30Cheers, bud. Yeah. Oh, it's awful. No, that's not as bad as like, right, babe. Yeah. I'm bored now. Shall we stop? Yeah, fine. Sorry. Yeah, we're done. It's been a lovely birthday for me. I've had a wonderful, wonderful time. And just from me to you listening, you're my second family. Thank you so much for always being there. I love you very much. And I love the team. I love Pete.

And possibly the genie from Aladdin. We don't know yet. We were sort of like undecided on that one. That's an avoid for me, that one, genie. I don't know. I quite like it. Listen to monthly bonus episodes exclusively on Amazon Music and enjoy ad-free listening on Amazon Music for all episodes of Staying Relevant with your Prime membership.
Pete’s nicknames for Liv lead to a realisation that Sam might be seriously lacking in the pet-name department with Tally. So Pete puts him to the test with a little role play to see whether Sam can naturally pull off a few new pet names…
Sam and Pete are getting nostalgic this week as they debate which iconic fashion trends they’d bring back, from skinny jeans and flat caps to Pete’s infamous fedora era and Sam’s questionable surfer-dude phase.
Sam also puts his memory to the test as a listener asks him about last year’s birthday wish… but does he actually remember what it was? And when Sam reveals he’s had thousands of messages about one very specific topic, the boys get to the bottom of what’s got everyone talking.
