Sam’s Girlfriend Tally Reveals What Sam is REALLY Like...

In short

Sam Thompson and girlfriend Talita Malinsko (Tally) answer listener questions about their relationship, including what Sam is like at home, communication habits, routines, and how they met. They also share awkward/real moments (farts, texting delays, a first-kiss moment during horror movie nights, and a toilet “incident” involving a bidet).

Guest backgrounds

Talita Malinsko is a model and former ski race athlete (grew up skiing competitively). She’s also a DJ/producer who started producing at 13, DJed professionally, and traveled the world. She and Sam met via a modeling shoot and later reconnected through Instagram DMs.

Key claims

Sam is calmer and more routine at home than on the podcast; he’s consistent with acts of service (flowers every Sunday, cooking, specific weekly treats). He’s “bad at texting” but prefers phone calls/voice updates and can go hours without replying. Talita says Sam’s ADHD shows up as big mood/energy swings.

Notable examples

blaming cats for early farts; three back-to-back horror movie nights (The Conjuring/Annabelle) before Sam finally says “I love you”; Talita’s birthday dinner forgotten due to ADHD; Talita “finds” Sam’s Find My Friends location sharing; Sam’s shower “palms up” ritual; Talita adores Sam’s prawn pasta after initially finding it bland.

Because the best Halloween memories aren't made in just one night. They're made all season long. Shop Halloween decor now at Wayfair.com. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R dot com. Wayfair, every style, every home. Hello, hello. This is Brooke DeVard, host of the Naked Beauty Podcast. I want to talk to you about Lexus. At Lexus, master craftsmen called Takumi are involved not just in physical craftsmanship, but in all of those sensory details.

0:44These masters evaluate things like how a door closes, the click of a switch, the acoustic feedback of controls. Instead of just instruments, Takumi craftsmen rely on human perception and intuition to create what sounds and feels right. Out of all of the tools that Lexus uses, the most powerful one is understanding what will make us feel something. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.

3:37I do have to finish something really quick, really quickly before we get on, because I've already fucked the intro. Remember, as well as listening to this podcast, you can watch us too. The full video is released on YouTube every Friday after the audio is out every single Monday. And before we get started, make sure to hit follow wherever you're listening. That would mean to be the first to know of each new episode. Natalia, I never get to do that intro. Normally it's Pete who does that. So I get a little bit nervous before I do it. I think I did okay. How did it feel? I feel quite, it feels nice being in control, actually, of the pod.

4:07This is in control. Yeah. Okay, awesome. I feel in control right now. I'm sweating. It's good you feel that way. I feel in control. So, Tali, you're in the studio. How do you feel right now in this moment? Excited? Nervous? Yeah, a bit nervous, but excited. Are you going to dish the dirt on me? Not too badly, I hope. Yeah. clutching clutching your clutching your ipad like i've never seen before in my life um look tally we've had a lot of questions that come in about you and about what you're like what you like with me about what i'm like and um and and are you ready to answer somebody's questions yeah yeah yeah okay a bit nervous i want you to just fly shoot from the hip all right and actually maybe we should get you sort of looking down the camera maybe just explaining a little bit about yourself.

4:55So we'd like name, age, height. We do this with everyone. Really? Yeah, we do this with everyone. Okay, fine. Sounds like a profile. Fun fact, maybe. Oh, gosh. Yeah, fun fact about you. Hi, I'm Talita Belinska. I'm five, six and a half. And a fun fact about me is I used to ski race growing up. That makes two of us. That's fun. Yeah, he says that he was Olympic. That makes two of us. I would love to go on holiday with you in race. No, we can't. The problem I have now is in one of our first dates, I said to Tania, I was like, oh, I can ski really well. I used to train with the Olympic team. And now the problem is she's like, oh, we should go skiing together.

5:32I'm like, no, can't do it now. We can never go skiing again. Yeah, that's probably why we never went. Yeah. Where was it? Valentine's. How do you know about that? Because I listen to your podcast. So you heard you were being taken skiing. I was excited. For Valentine's on the pod. Did you say anything or were you like, oh, I best pretend I didn't hear that? Yeah, I didn't bring it up, did I? You didn't bring it up, so you're sat waiting for, like, the secret tickets to, like, drop in your notes. I was waiting. She's like, oh, maybe today. I can't remember what I got her. What did I get you for Valentine's Day?

6:01Did I get you nothing? Silence is deafening. We'll pick that up because I need to remember what I got her. But, Tally, look, we got a lot of questions for you. The viewers got a lot of questions for you. Is the Sam we know on SR actually the Sam that Tally lives with is, like, the overarching question that we've been getting the most? So I suppose it's what am I really like as a boyfriend to you? Well, I think you're way more calm at home than you are when you're out and about. I think that you're very kind and you're very kind consistently, but there are traits that you have that people probably don't see on the podcast.

6:39What are they? Well, he farts a lot. Oh, fuck me. We can't start. I'd also say we see that on the podcast. Oh, really? So it's actually a very public thing? Yeah, I think so. Bless your heart that you think that's a secret. Yeah, I just managed to hold that, keep that away from you for quite a long time, to be fair. You remember the first time he farted in front of you? Fucking hell, babe. It was quite early on, and I think he pretended like it didn't happen, and he was like, it was the cats. And I was like, the cats aren't even in the room. Sam? I have blamed the cats on so many farts. The poor cats.

7:14I've never even heard the cats fart. I never even smelled them. I don't even know if cats do fart. I don't know. But I got away with it for a while until there was one point where Tali went, you can't keep blaming the fucking cats. Yeah. It's a toughie. You still do it though, to this day. I've stopped a little bit. No. And also, I feel like people want to know a little bit more about you anyway, before we get into that, actually. You know, like you have been, you've had a storied life, Tali. You know, you've been a DJ, producer. you know when we first started seeing each other and which we're gonna get on to but you know you were touted in the press as as model slash dj to lisa blinska so where did that come from well i produced since i was 13 and i started djing a few years ago and i traveled the world with it and then just thought i have such a passion in it why not do it as a career but now we're just doing it for fun when did you know you wanted to be a dj because i feel like you were a model first weren't you oh yeah i was a model well just was whilst i was at uni because i just needed to make money and just pursued that full time and then i would always produce in my spare time and i just thought why not just do it as a job and it took over the modeling side so i started traveling and then djing all the time and then produce not producers promoters would reach out to me and try and book me around the world which is really cool and then and then what's gonna happen is she's gonna dj at glastonbury and i'm gonna be there that's that's what i'm hoping for no he once said to me i was like if i dj in ibiza will you be next to me in the booth he goes absolutely not i'll just be in the back sat in the corner can i tell you why that is really supportive no no it's not that it's actually more supportive is that i want you just to have your mo i don't want to be like i look online right and like i see like these tiktoks of these fucking people who stand in the dj booth like be like look at me with a phone out and all that kind of shit and it's i find it the most cringy thing so what i'm saying is i'm saying that like i'd be sat on a little chair or a stool just to your like back right watching and like being proud but not actually being like there with the fucking phone like like yeah no i hear that okay so that's a little bit about you would you say so you're not you'd say i'm not as chaotic as as at home as i am on the pod no you're way more chill.

9:37I see a very different side of you. You're very calm, collected. You like to watch YouTube a lot. Can I expand the line? Of course you can. He watches history games on his phone. Probably, I think your screen time was 11 hours and 50 % of it was, 50 % of it was YouTube's on history games. Not even history, history games on how to play a game. And he's been trying to play this one game since probably november yeah it's called hearts of iron and apparently you need to try and win or something yeah he hasn't won world war two he hasn't won since november and he's played it every day since yeah try and win i still haven't won yeah yeah you gotta try and win world war two in hearts of iron and uh and there's nothing more humbling than when you're sort of like beautiful girlfriend walks in you're hunched over a pc and trying to fucking trying to win this wall doesn't sound like it stops you there gets the ussr i go to a different room and occasionally i just hear like a slam on the table and then i know he's not going to be in a good mood so i just avoid it's fucking mental actually like gaming in front of your girlfriend is is one of the most humbling experiences i think of of life but i join you now i know i know tally actually comes in and sits and she makes her music next to me whilst i'm gaming yeah make of that what you will yeah I was like look at us look at us with our headphones we're in a dungeon bunch of fucking losers did you ever think Talia this is where it'd come to no because I love it I get spoken to a lot about how beautiful you are like you're I mean you are absolutely stunning I can't believe I wake up every morning going how the hell am I with this chick like it's it's it's you know I like to say that Talia as you burped into the mic let's not let that one slide that was indigestion I heard it in the headphones.

11:28Pippa, that was fucking... Oh, the hell am I... That was indigestion, Pippa. Oh, so... That was indigestion, okay? I genuinely sometimes think, I have to say to myself in the mirror, Sam, it's okay. You are... You're an equal person. Okay? You are. But you... That's very sweet of you, T. I've actually met Tally. Will you tell the story? When did we first meet? I was modeling for Donnelli, Sam's brand, and we were both in relationships at the time so we didn't actually speak to each other. But I met you briefly, said hi and then didn't see you ever since. And then this summer I rekindled things with you.

12:06What was he like at the shoot? Like on a shoot for his friend, what was he doing? I don't really remember you, I'm not going to lie. I remember Pete being there. I spoke to Pete for a really long time. Perfect answer. Right. Perfect. But I actually know because I think you came in late or something because you were hungover. I was. Good. Yes, I was. You came in late and I remember you were not really having it. You were just sunglasses on, looking at the screen, arms crossed, like, yeah, that looks good. Yeah. And that's pretty much all you said the whole day. I didn't speak to her once. And I'm surprised by that because you're so outgoing.

12:38Yeah. And then obviously time passed. Like, so like what, like three years passed? Yeah. And then and then I saw Tally walk into walk into a pub that I was in. And I remember looking, turning around to my friend and being like, who the hell is that girl? who walked in and um and you were like super dressed down look really cool i was kind of wearing what you're wearing now yeah in a way she was looking like very la like baggy fit and all that kind of stuff when that girl's just so cool and fit i was like wow i really want to go and say hello but i was really nervous so i literally looked at her waved stood up went over to you get like went oh hi do i remember i saw you on that shoot once and sort of like gave you like a shoulder hug and then went and sat back down ate my pie and went what the fuck did i just do and what the fuck does I just say?

13:25And then you left the pub and I ran out trying to find her, like a stalker. I ran out with a friend of mine and went, find this girl! And I saw you walking off down the road and I went, oh, I can't run back off because you were the friend of yours and that'd be really, really creepy. But I genuinely walked outside of the pub to try and find you. Aww. Yeah. That's pretty sweet. And I've never done that for anyone and I was just like, I just have to. Well, it worked out. Oh, exactly, yeah. And then slid in, slid into the DMs. What a time that was. Yeah, Pippa remembers it. Christ, yeah. What was it like?

14:01What to DM, that was a whole thing for a long time. Like, what did you want to say? Was it weird? How were you going to say it? Were we going to wait for a story to be posted to reply to? Yeah, because I didn't post stories ever. I'd spent so much time on your Instagram profile before we ever met Tali. Yeah, because I was like trying to help, trying to be like, oh, maybe you could bring this up in a DM. Oh, that's so sweet. Would it have been, okay, how would you have felt though? Because you didn't really know me if I'd ran after you on that street and then be like, hi. I don't think it would have been that weird because I did know who you were.

14:35Yeah, but if I was like, hi, can we kind of take you out? I kind of would have respected that. You would, what would you have said? Would you have said yes or no? Well, I'd say maybe like I did when you asked me on our first date. I also thought you were such a nice person when I met you. Like, I didn't expect that from you at all. What? Not that you're not a nice person, but I just thought he's so genuine. And obviously with people who are very out there on social media, you don't know what they're really like as a person, but you are so genuine. And I was like, yeah, he's my guy. When I first started speaking to you.

15:05And then we spent a lot of time together in that first week. Yeah. She stayed at mine. So Tally stayed at mine for three days where we watched three horror movies together back to back. each day she would go home and then i would i would be like do you want to come watch a movie and she'd be like yeah okay and she it was like we were fucking 12 she'd come out to mine watch like i think like the the what did we want nothing sets the mood like the conjuring yeah watch the conjuring we're like one two and three and uh and she basically came out to mine and we'd sit there watching this fucking thing like this and i'd be watching it like cracking a couple of cases and oh this is funny isn't it and then like it was genuinely like the oh the yawn and the arm over the shoulders or something like that and then like we just did nothing for the first for the first night and she went well I'm gonna go home and I was like okay shit okay fine she's going home like oh no and then the second night I went oh do you want to come around and watch something again she went yeah yeah sure came around mine again watch something the exact same thing happened we're now two scary movies down we're running out of fucking scary movies to watch and on the third night i had like i was so like confused that i turned around to her and went i'd really like to kiss you right now and uh and tally turned around to me looked at me laughed went laughed in my face and then turned around and carry on watching the movie it wasn't that kind of laugh it was more of like a nervous laugh i panicked did you panic yeah did you not know that no i just thought i'd made you cringe because i was just a bit like well you said it in a way you were like, I'd really like to kiss you now.

16:41And obviously whilst like Annabelle, whoever's getting slaughtered by some like demon, I'm like a bit, I don't really know. I was just a bit like, not really the vibe. And then I panicked because I was like, oh God, what am I doing? And then I moved away and then I was overthinking. But yeah, it was kind of like a - And then it got really awkward and really quiet. And she started giggling to herself. And you know, and like, you know, because she knew it was awkward and I knew it was awkward. So we were just like this watching while she'd go.

17:10you started laughing to yourself and i went i have apps i think i even i think i even messaged my mate going i have fucked this up and then we so we did we did and then and then we did three so three movie nights nothing i went look we can't keep doing this so i can i please please please take you on a date that was the first time i told you i liked you do you remember that

17:32and i remember saying because i never really put my cards out on the table yeah i'm very aware of that yeah but then i was like this this is the time that i told you that i like you because i think that historically i hadn't given you a reason for you to think that i liked you so i was like okay now's the time i've had a few drinks can relax a bit i can say that i like him without getting nervous and then since then it's been amazing what's it like so So obviously I've got ADHD, it's well documented. What's that like? Because like yesterday was like, you even turned around to me and went, you're on an ADHD day today, aren't you?

18:04Yeah, it's interesting because some days you'll be super calm in your own world. And then other days you'll be so present and like, you know what I mean? I don't know how to describe it. You'll be like all over the place and like jumping off walls and bouncing around. Like, let's go do this. Let's go, let's go for a walk. Let's go for breakfast. And then some days you'll literally be just like monotone. on your phone, very calm, very up and down. Is that what you would have expected Pippa? Yeah, I'm intrigued. Did that ever make you think that, were you ever unsure about how he felt about you because of that, like, cause of the switch up?

18:42Like, were you like, oh, now suddenly he's like really quiet and not speaking. So I think you get stressed about people thinking that, right? Yeah. I still to this day have moments where I'm like, does he still love me? Because if he goes like in his, like, I always go, oh, we've lost him. Yeah. Where he just kind of sinks away for like an hour. Yeah. Yeah. No, I've had it. I think only in the last few months where I've properly spent loads of time with you, I've noticed that you have these habits. But I used to think, oh, he doesn't love me anymore. He's gone quiet. At the beginning, I used to think he wasn't interested anymore.

19:16So I remember there was one time where I think you forgot that it was, you planned a birthday dinner for me. Terrible. And he said, I remember it was a Wednesday and it was the day of my birthday. And he was like, I really wanna take you for dinner. And he said it for two weeks. And I was like, I'm really excited. Like we're doing a birthday dinner, just me and him. And then it comes to the day and I don't hear anything. And I'm like, oh, well maybe he's just forgotten or something or, and I waited until the time because I was like, oh, normally Sam is very last minute. And he'll say the time and where it is like on the day or a few hours before, not out of character.

19:50so then it came to like 9 p.m and I remember thinking did he just not plan my birthday or did he forget and then I got really upset and I remember calling him after not replying for a while because I was like really upset about it and I was like if you don't want to be with me it's okay like I understand if it's not what you want anymore because like I know that it's a lot it's quite full-on right now and you're like what what are you talking about no I want to be with you and I was like, you forgot my birthday dinner. What did he say? He was very apologetic. I bet that like broke you in heart.

20:23May, there is nothing more sad than watching Tally be sad. I felt really sad just hearing that. But I hate it. She's got that face where she goes to this. Yeah, that made me really sad. And it made, honestly, I said to Tally, I said, because she's cried a couple of times, not because of me I'll add, but like, if anything like gets to her, she'll have a little cry and there is nothing that hurts me more. It breaks my soul watching her cry. I hate it. Like I would do anything to not see you cry. And she was like, if you just don't want to be with me anymore, like I completely understand. I know like you've got a lot going on at the moment and like, you know, like there was a lot of press around it at the time as well.

21:02And like obviously Tali's never dealt with that. So she was literally like, oh, like, you know, I completely understand like if this is all a bit too much. Bear in mind, I'm the one who's literally sitting there being like, please let me take you out. Please let me take you out. And then like it flipped and she was like, and it honestly broke my heart. I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot. But hey, it's just ADHD. You had so much. You had actually, that was the most hectic. Yeah. I think we've ever had in our relationship. Yeah, that was mad. But look, so that's kind of how we got to, how we sort of like started.

21:32And I suppose like we got loads of questions here, but I feel a bit weird. Pippa, can you ask me this one? Because I feel a bit weird asking about myself. Of course. Well, can I ask one first? Of course you can. um pippa's gonna fucking grill me here i can feel it and i'm fine with it it is what it is sit back um on the whole thing of like the forgetfulness and we we often talk loads on the pod about like how sam just doesn't reply to people not in a horrible way but you don't so he'll just like not really respond to whatsapp for example i had his radio producer message me yesterday like please may you ask sam to reply to my message like stuff like that when you're first dating someone that must be like, what the hell?

22:13Was that mad? I think about this actually quite a lot because I remember the first time you texted me and it was on iMessage and you were on it. And I was like, oh wow, he's a big texter. And you used to say at the beginning of the relationship, yeah, I'm really good at texting. Like, why would you do that? You're setting yourself up for such a fool. Because you don't want to fucking let them know that you're shit with your phone. But you're better setting your stool out from the beginning like, oh sorry I'm a bit shit on my phone, not I'm an amazing texter, I just don't text you. Who did you?

22:43Who goes I'm an amazing texter? And then doesn't reply for days. I just wanted her to think I was great. Wild behavior. Put his best foot forward, for sure. Yeah, you used to pride yourself in that and then slowly it went away and I'd text him things and I wouldn't get replies for like five hours. And I'd be like, I'm so confused right now because you used to text so much then now you don't. But then I'd get a random call after. And I'd be like, I asked you like a question. You haven't addressed it either. But he loves a phone call. Yeah. Doesn't text, loves a phone call. I still send him updates throughout the day and he still doesn't reply.

23:18He'll just ring. I do it because I feel like it's nice to get updates. Yeah, but I'm a cool, I'd like to tell you that I'm a cool voice note. I'll call people four or five times a day. Yeah, you do. I'll just, I like to speak to you on the phone and be like, how's your day been? Like, I don't like texting. It's just long for me. Unless it's work. I feel like you text for work, don't you? Yeah. If I have to. Yeah. Just not your radio producer. Just not a radio producer. All clearly. On the texting thing, can we do a few, like I want to get your different stances on like relationshipy things. Yeah.

23:52So you mentioned five hours for a text. Yeah. Again, wild behavior. Is that bad? Yeah. Well, it's not great. I think it's contextual, but my answer does not matter at all. It's like a therapy session. How long is too long to reply to a text in a relationship? Yeah. what what yeah great question well it depends how busy you are if you have a busy day but even if it's not just me just anyone in general just the general consensus i think if you're if you say to your partner that you're super busy then i think it's okay and you say okay i've got work until 5 p.m um i think that's fine if you give a reason but if you're not replying for like seven hours i think that's a bit of a red flag i'm not gonna lie really yeah because what are you doing it's like it takes one second to reply or even like like it or acknowledge I think acknowledgement is important in relationships.

24:41I so agree. Do you? Yeah. You don't fucking apply to Jack ever. Yeah, but she sees him every day. I see you every day. Also, before I leave, like if we're doing a record day where we're doing however many episodes, whatever, before I leave, I'm like, oh, mad record day today, blah, blah, blah. I'll catch you later. I'll catch you later? Catch you later. I'm going to send you a text message going, catch you later. No, but then it's just I've communicated. Hi, this is what I'm doing. updates it's like when you're on a night out you always want to hear where people are you don't no one cares about like what time you're back well actually yeah they do but you want to hear updates like oh by the way going here like you don't need to be texting on the way home i think it's a good one like i'm on my way home now you don't need to be like hey i'll be leaving at 2 a.m this i will be getting an uber at this time here's where i'll be but like uh i'm on my way back all right fair enough do you know actually do you want to i'd love to know everyone's opinion this so tally um when we first sort of started we were like together we weren't living together but like she was at mine quite a bit and i left to go to the gym and uh and and she called me and went what the fuck was that i'm like what do you mean she went you didn't say goodbye well i didn't say it like that no you didn't you said it like a sweet way but you were like you're like you'd have had every right to say it like that she was she was like why didn't you say goodbye I was like, what do you mean?

26:03So you just, you just. Just got up and left. Get up and leave the house. I just got up and left the house. Did you say I'm going to the gym? No, I just left. Had you said that at any point? Yeah, I mean, yeah. No. You was going to the gym. How did she know? How would she know? I don't know. So you just vacated the premises. I just got up, went to the gym. And then on the way, she went, what are you doing? And you were awake in the house. Yeah, I was just upstairs. And then I was like, where have you gone? Because you could have gone anywhere. And I was like, I don't know if your day has started, if you've gone to work and we haven't said goodbye.

26:34I just think it's so important to say goodbye. I have, since then, I have never not said goodbye to Tally. You always say goodbye. Would you just walk in the house and not say anything? Yeah. You need to work on that too. No, I do. Like if Tally's in the house and you, so say, say Tally's not here, say Tally's Pete right now. Yeah. You go home after this record, Tally's there in the house. Yeah. You're just walking in. No, I'm like, hey T, how are you? Like giving a big hug and a kiss. Yeah. Yeah, no, I know, but leave it. I'm going to the fucking gym. I'm back in an hour. But she doesn't know that.

27:02At the time, I didn't know that because we started dating. I didn't know where you were going. Yeah, good point. But now that you have a routine. What's a miracle, Pippa? Just this whole thing. What's a miracle? Just this whole situation. I don't know how you get away with it. I'm like, the way I see it is I'm like a dog. I'm like, you only need to tell me once. Yeah, that's true. And then like, and so now. Say hi when you go. Every number, every number. When I get home, I say hi every time. But when I leave, I didn't realise. I didn't realise that when you leave, you have to like say goodbye, I love you very much.

27:36So now whenever I leave, I say goodbye, I love you very much. What about locations? I would have been straight on if I'm not friends. No, absolutely not. You're a no on locations. I don't believe in locations. Absolutely no. Would you do it otherwise? Yeah, because I have nothing to hide. I'm all over location. Yeah, but I... I love location. But it's not like a girl thing. No, I think most relationships you do. Agreed. I think it's a more common thing these days because people just like to know safety wise. Like imagine something happened to me and you didn't know where I was. You couldn't help.

28:06Yeah, okay, that I understand. So like what I, so the bare minimum for me with Tally is if she goes out, I want to know that she's safe. So for example, I want to know when she's in a car home and I'll sometimes get you the car if you're late, if it's late at night. And I just, I want to know where you are in terms of like whether you're safe. if it's in the day like i don't want to be like scouting my girlfriend out but like well why is she there like i like i trust you and your adultness i don't think it's necessarily about that though because some people just want to know okay why where is he why is he not applying in like sounds like that would be useful no but okay let's say like i'm like oh why why is he not replied for seven hours which you do yeah at least i'll be like okay he's at the podcast fine yeah yeah so i'm like okay that's fine he's busy it's not to be like what's he doing who's he with it's just a case of just like okay fine he's here doing this like cool do you know what i think i think but it's the same as having a calendar access which i can see your calendar so now that's the same thing because i'm like i know what you're doing doesn't matter so i i think that it's a millennial gen z thing you are a millennial that's what i mean i think millennials aren't so and don't you bloody remind me i love how quick you are i think okay what about when you're married do you feel like that's quite important because you have a kid and like well how do they do it before finding my fucking friends happened like i don't understand i don't know why we always need to know where everyone is at all times but it's like saying why do people drive cars when they had horses back in the day it's so true no it's not it's god why would i get a car the romans didn't have them yeah but but like i don't know what i said everyone just everyone just got a went went about their day like i just yeah but i quite like it to be like oh you're on your way home yeah okay i'll get dinner that is something that i wish i knew because sometimes i want to surprise you all right fine we can do it right here right now no we're doing it right here right now we're doing find my friends on this podcast right now and i have never take it do it i have never ever accept it yeah i've never ever had like none of my friends no one's ever had me on Find My Friends.

30:15I just find it weird that people can see you like all the time when you're just going about your day. But I will. I'll give you my Find My Friends. Right, here you go. Ready? Find My Friends me. I can't believe this. When we started dating, Sam was like, absolutely not. No way. And here we are. Well, here we are. Yeah, just because I just, I don't know. If it makes you feel good, then I'm in. And what, wait, whilst you're doing that, Tally, actually, that takes us on actually to what I'm like at home. What would you say my routine is? Full day. Give me a full day. Okay. So you wake up, take off your eye mask.

30:53You get the pillow that you put between your legs behind your neck. Yeah. And then you sit on probably the news, Twitter, like sports Twitter for about an hour. And then you get up, go brush your teeth. And then sometimes if he showers, that means he's not going to the gym. Then if he doesn't shower, then he's going to the gym and he puts on his like vest. and goes off on his bike and then comes back and he's always on the phone. Every single time he comes back from the gym, he's on his phone, either to Pippa, to his accountants, one of his friends. And then he comes back, he makes a shake, which is a new addition.

31:28He used to make eggs, but now it's a shake every day. Go so deep. And then what else do you do? Then you just go to work. And then you come back and then you just relax and play your games. You can play my games. and play my games. But it's always, the thing is with Sam is he has such a routine. Like I, when I see you do something different, I'm like, what's happened? Like what's going on? Because you're such a routine person. I am. I hate, I hate the breaking of a routine. Now we have spoken on this podcast prior about Bath Romantics and we have spoken about that one time. And I feel like this really cemented cemented our relationship, to be honest with you.

32:15This needed to happen at some point. You seem really proud about this. No, but like, I'm not proud. I'm just, I just think this needed to happen. And, you know, now we're past it. Here we are. So, Pippa. If you're going to ask me what I think about your girlfriend finding a shit nugget in the toilet, it's not going to take me long to give you my opinion. But I can't realistically ask Tali that. I can't be like, what was it like when you saw my shit in the loo? Tali how did you feel when this groundbreaking relationship moment had to happen and you saw Sam's physical shit in floating around yeah it was floating I what I was really concerned about was why there was no toilet paper in there because if that was a nugget did you not wipe after you took that shit she went in no no how do you answer that one go on probably use the b-day i don't know the b-day yeah like a happy day would it not have been easier to wipe sometimes i do sometimes i do sorry how we missed that you called it a b-day what is it a bidet a bidet oh right yeah that's that and uh yeah but it's just it's just tally walks i didn't know it was there and you know like you haven't like done that part of your relationship yet with somebody and tally walks in and like was that a near relationship breakup for you no but i just thought poor him poor guy because i if you saw that of me i'd be so embarrassed and you were checking my soap you didn't have any soap i had to put soap up there that's why we were there in the first place how do you feel like the cats have welcomed you into the home oh they're so friendly they're they get along with anyone to be honest yeah and albus has started sleeping in my arms and but like next the pillow it's a very big thing for me because obviously my cats and my world and you know someone you know fresh coming into the gaff and how are they going to take to her they love her albus adores her like albus will literally go and curl up in a little in a little ball on her neck when she's sleeping and she loves it so much she literally goes you're accepting me i love it i cuddle him all night sam's like oh i can't deal with the heat and i'm like come here yeah I'm like come to me he literally slept in my arm head on my shoulder just purring the whole time he's such a cute little being I know and Talia has this weird thing where she's permanently cold as well like even if it's a boiling boiling hot day like she's freezing at all times like you need a hot water bottle like in in like in like 24 degree heat yeah it's actually really annoying yeah but that is because I'm anemic and I have other I did a I did the thing that you did the the other day, a blood test, and I've got other deficiencies that I need to work on.

34:57That's exciting, I'll be hot soon. Yay. Are we gonna get married? I hope so. Was that the question? It's like the same thing. Where's the ring? Before we were boyfriend and girlfriend, he was like, I really want you to be my girlfriend, but I can't yet because it's too soon. Because obviously Sam is very structured with his thinking. And he was like, would you be my girlfriend? And I was like, yeah, obviously. but like you don't ask things before you ask the question. When I said I loved her, I sat on the sofa and literally didn't even look at her and went, I think I love you.

He was like, I'm gonna say it anyway. And I was like, okay. What a rollercoaster. I know it was literally like in a movie, I kid you not. It was like, I was like, okay, okay, say it. And he goes, I love you. And then I go, do you? Oh yes. And he goes, wait, do you not? And I was like, no, I love you too. He was like, why do you say, do you? And I was like, I don't know, I'm panicking. But can I just say as well, Tally's like a really awkward person.

38:12She's not, she's, me and her are very awkward together. Yeah, we are. Like we spoke, we were eating prawns at one point and mine and like, and we were like talking about like our future and stuff like that. And it got quite deep and it got like, yeah, you know, like obviously I'd love to have kids and like, how many, how many would you want? Like, should we have them together? Like that kind of thing. And then afterwards it was like, it went silent after we'd had this sort of like, kind of this life chat of like, okay, like I want to do life with you. And, and, and, It went silent and she went, prawns are good.

38:46We are so awkward, but I love, I think that's what made us really close. It was very similar in that way. You panic quite a lot when it's emotions. But I think it's sweet. No, I agree. It is, it's so sweet. It's refreshing, because I honestly thought, obviously I thought you were a fuck boy, I thought you'd come and be like, yeah, this is, I saw a really vulnerable side of you when we started dating. And I think that was so endearing to see, because every, and you know what it's like when guys you date guys and they try and act all confident like you were not like that at all she hates it when i try and do that i don't like it yeah she'll literally say she'll be like why are you like trying to act like a macho dude that's so nice though because then you don't have to change yeah i am a macho dude yeah no sorry yeah of course ali come on man she'll literally sit there and be like why are you trying to be like this like she's like it's really icky and i'm like what the fuck i'm just like i don't know like just be the real you

39:40i'm now looking at the floor um next question next question what does he think he's good at that he's actually not good at um don't you dare say cooking sort of what i saw topic she lied to me about my pasta for about three months oh yeah we'll get on to that but i see that you've spoken or heard that you've spoken about diy you think you're good at DIY? I could do it. I've never seen you do a single DIY thing in this whole year. I could. I could do it. You could, but you haven't. So you're not good at it. You just think you could be good at it. I do all the DIY. I'm out here like fixing things.

40:18I'm the DIY queen. I'm a gardener. I do the gardening. You water the plants. I did the gardening yesterday. How's the soil? Dry. Really? They've been neglected a bit. I'm not going to lie. We have a shower routine as well. Sounds quite private. What's our shower routine? What do I do when I'm having a shower sometimes? You sit down. And what do I... Like, hands out on both knees, palms up, and you look up at the water dripping onto your hands. Sometimes it's a leg up, one leg up, and he's just out there, but he always palms up under the rain of the shower. And I like to have Tali sometimes come in and sit and chat to me.

40:58I'll just hear Tali in the distance, and I'm like, okay, I know what he wants. And I'll walk in, he's just in there. Palms up. Yeah, Tanya just comes and sits in the shower with me. Well, no, I actually sit outside of the shower and just sit opposite you. She sits opposite me. We just sit looking at each other and I'm like this with my shower. We just hang out. And I'm like, so tell me about your day. We just hang out. But you never do that when I'm in the shower. It's always your moment. That is such a good point. I actually don't. You don't, yeah. You've never sat in that. We've had loads of people send in like qualities that I think Sam has probably described himself as on this pod more than once that I think it's good if we kind of fact check them with you if that's okay.

41:36Okay. Romantic? No. What? Whoa! I just straight out the gate. No, I just wanted to see your reaction. He is so romantic. Really? I get flowers every Sunday without fail. And even on his birthday weekend, he comes back with flowers. And I'm like, it's your birthday. He's like, yeah, I just really wanted to give you these. And they're the beautiful hydrangeas and always peonies, my favorite flowers. Gets them every weekend. Fair play. And always cooks for me, which is, I think, so romantic. I'm really glad. Pete doesn't think that. Pete sits there and thinks I'm some sort of fucking wanker. Every time we sit here, Pete will literally tell him I'm like, yeah, you know, fuck who.

42:13I like to think I do. I'd say that's well above average. Is it? I think so. He's a very acts of service person. Which I think most people would be surprised at. Yeah, very, very acts of service. Like, if I needed help, he'll be there and do it. and I think that's I think that's your love language don't you think? I'd give that yeah 100 % I'm a dog you tell me what to do and I'll do it like if I feel if I feel like you will be happy if I do something for you I'll do it yeah so like for example I got you flowers once and you like nearly cried and so I was like well this is good like I can picture him staring at you like computing that's exactly what it is good tears do again yeah that's exactly it's like it's like it's like the terminator you know the terminator scans somebody that's how i am with tally like if i do something that like makes her happy i go scanning and like and it scans like i go okay great i'll just like it's such an easy thing to do it's like such a good win i'll literally every sunday be like i'll go and get her a coconut water like in the actual coconut my favorite drink and i'll and i'll get her some peonies and i know that that will be and i'll go in i don't even know what they look like.

43:26So I literally go and I'll have peonies please. And she's like, oh, okay, there you go, peonies. And like, I'll bring them back, coconut water and that and I'll say from the knowledge that I've done good. And then like, and that just makes you happy. But sometimes you need to like, it's sometimes hard. I struggle sometimes to know immediately off the bat what it is. But then when I do know, then I'm like, okay, cool. Yeah, you're very observant. Would you give that message to guys and girls up and down the country that like i think i anyway and maybe it sounds like you more at the beginning as well tally and like girls in general i think quite like if he wanted to he would or quite like i'm not going to say what i want i'm not going to describe what i want like he should know would you actually advocate for the i would say the opposite yeah okay i would say i think there's a happy medium i'd say from a boy's point of view i'm gonna be honest with you like I'm not Mr.

44:21Relationship Guru, but the easiest way for me is you're with the person you love. You obviously want to make them happy, but life happens and you forget and all those kind of things. So just knowing, getting told what makes somebody happy then makes my life so much easier because then I go, okay, I know what I can do. I know what I can do week in, week out to make you happy. So the more things I know, the more data I have, like the more I can do yeah and like maybe that's a bit of an autistic way of thinking but like my all I want to do is make you happy or like or like make my loved ones or like well whoever is like happy I'm not permanently thinking what can I do for that person I like want to know okay cool I can set out a time slot and be like okay Sunday morning every morning that's the time I'm going to do that and I'm like okay do you know what I know for exactly I know on Thursdays Tally likes to go and get pizza.

45:19So on Thursday, what I'll do is I'll go on a run with her and I'll then take her for a pizza afterwards. And we'll do that. And then I'll do a little juice run for her sometimes as well. But those things I know you like, you know. Yeah, but I think also it goes with like, if he wanted to, he would. You could also stop doing that. And in a relationship, I think some people forget, you know, they do things at the beginning and then it fades out. And then it's like, if he wanted to, he would. Yeah, but I get to see your little face. But I think - And she clutches those peonies with two hands. She hugs them.

45:49She hugs the peonies. She gets them and goes, and hugs them. I'm like, that makes it all worth it. So yeah. And I cook. You do. Honestly, it makes me feel like I don't do anything. But Tani lies to me about my cooking, so whatever. She said she liked my pasta for like months, and then only literally a couple of weeks ago said she fucking hated it. Well, I didn't hate it. I obviously was so grateful that you cooked me, but at the beginning when we started dating, it was quite bland. but now when you make prawn pasta could sell it at a restaurant it's unbelievable so good what do you think about the barbecues best addition to the garden i'm surprised you didn't have one before i think it's like all guys who have a garden will have a barbecue it's like dj being a barbecuist is like dj being a barbecuist is like dj is it gotta have your hands on the dials like you know you're djing to people in egypt 10 000 people i'm barbecuing for a family I mean it's the same shit same pressure same pressure man mine got more pressure because I've got a thing I've got you know if my sausages are fucked you get Pippa being rude like you know you got which people have been actually a bit annoyed about her shock Pippa's a bully about my food but yeah as someone who has seen Sam and how he speaks to me I get told that I mean to him No, absolutely not.

47:09There's a running narrative that Pippa's mean to Sam. Really? Thank you. That's the shocked reaction I was after. I actually really disagree. I'm not just saying that. What the fuck? I don't think Pippa does anything outrageous. Really? No. Thanks, darling. You're not like that. You're fuming. It was actually Sam in the comments. Yeah. Pippa's too rude. On that narrative, contentious point here. Would you describe him as athletic?

47:39Oh, shirt's coming off. Just letting you see what you got to work with. Okay. I see it every day, but it's always fun when you have to like really think. I'm just gonna let you sit in that. The more time it gets, the more awkward it is. But I think you're athletic. I mean, he did big up soccer age. You said to me, you were like, I'm one of the best on the team. Like I trained and like when we were training, I was one of the best. And yeah, it was 20 minutes, but it's okay. I actually do think you're athletic. He played pickleball with a stranger the other day. Never played. Won us seven shots.

48:22Some dude came up to me at 10 p.m. on my birthday when I was at this paddle yard place. And so he goes, if you beat me at pickleball, I'll buy you and all your friends a shot. And I was like, all right, I can take you on on that. Smashed him. Is he a good loser? No. but that's why you're so good because you're competitive and you can't lose have you ever beaten him at anything? chess, so many times how did it go? 10-3 actually maybe it was a bit more than that maybe it was 10-4 what am I like at running? I've never really seen you run we run together oh like long distance I thought you were just talking about how fast you are I don't know if you've heard but he's got fast twitch fibres sorry?

49:01fast twitch muscle fibres I haven't heard he says it a lot he's like what do you mean by that i have fast twitch muscle fibers no i understand the words he says that if he runs 50 meters he'll beat everyone he's got a really fast acceleration he's like the fastest ever ever i genuinely think i i i did say that to you symbol as well didn't you i i would beat you saying over a 50 meter period i think i would you would beat him over a 50 meter period i would if i actually try and do it should we get you same boat to race you Well, he's a bit older now, so I don't think he... Yeah, bless him. Don't want to embarrass him.

49:36You've got to be delusional in this world, mate. I've really realised that. I've really realised... Do you know how many people turn around to me? I said this at the start of the podcast. Do you know how many people turn around and go, oh, yeah, he's punching, he's punching? I have to look in the mirror and go, you are not punching. You are not punching. Do you remember that time with The Electric? We've told this on the podcast before, where that guy came up and spoke to you at The Electric, and I just had to sit there and watch. You were like, hello. What's that like when you get like, Titani gets approached all the fucking time.

50:05She got approached outside the house once. Oh yeah, that was... By a guy in a Lamborghini. He was honking his horn and I could hear it and I was trying to ignore it because I had headphones in. And then he drove down the same road and he was like, please, please let me take you out. And I was like, I have a boyfriend. He was like... He was gaming inside. He was like... Yeah, he actually was. He was as well. He's honestly about to beat Russia any minute. And he was like, It doesn't matter. He's not here. And I'm like, what? These guys honestly try so hard. I always think that if Tally didn't want to be with me, she just wouldn't.

50:39Right. So what's the point of me panicking? Yeah. You're very, very, very unjealous. Yeah. To the point where I'm like, give me something. I'm like, oh yeah, I'll literally come back and I'll be like, yeah, yeah. I'm just texting this guy. Like we've been messaging all night. He'd be like, cool. I'm like, do you not hear what I just said? Obviously I'm joking. Of course I've heard what you said, but one, I know it's a joke. And two, if you come back, cause Talia will come back and be like, fuck some guy just like approached me on the tube. As long as you're safe. That's the one thing I'm like, I'm like, oh fuck it.

51:08Like you shouldn't be doing that. Like that annoys me. But like in terms of like that, no guy who's ever approached a girl on the tube has been like, you're like darling. Like how are you? No guy's ever managed to take her away from a boyfriend by that on the tube. Like when it's sweltering hot, no one wants to speak to fucking anybody on the tube and you think that's your moment to go over and be like hey I'm going to try and nick you off some dude it's the worst time to do it if you were to ever try or revving your Lamborghini like a cunt down the fucking road as if so unjealous it's not even that like an absolute wank it's not even that it's the fact that I I know and I mean this wholeheartedly if Tali thought that was cool, I wouldn't be with her.

52:00Like, I think that's so lame. Like a guy, like revving his fucking car. And being like - You know, that was his reaction, you were just like, lame. It's fucking lame. And I was like, I'm sure you're just like, ooh, my girl's wanted, and you're like, no. He just goes, lame. He's on his game, takes off his headset. Lame. Said from the gaming headset. puts his headset back on fights russia but i've just never i've never ever understood that like ever and and i've always been like the moment you get jealous is like the moment it all i think just comes crumbling down it's just like i agree i just i just don't there's there's no one wins out of jealousy yeah if you're gonna play away you're gonna play away anyway i just hope you don't i completely agree but to the point where you're like who's dm'd you today Yeah, I sometimes find it quite fun to see you split into a DM.

52:53He's like, oh, who's DM'd you? And I'm like, Sam, what? I've never experienced that ever. Well, no, it's just because I find it fascinating. Like, because you've had, and we're not going to name names, but you've had some pretty big people in your DM. And I just find it really interesting. What's the opening gambit? Do you know what I mean? Like, what's the opening line? How are they fucking saying it? Yeah, you are very, very, what's the word? You like to know things. I love to understand people's psyche about why. Like, that guy in the Lamborghini, why have you revved your engine? like do you genuinely think that's the thing that is going to get you the like thing or like whatever it may be that's just an example i've used but like whatever it is that you're doing like is that the thing that you think's gonna get you over the line i find it fascinating i thought i was curious until i met you and you have to know why about everything i do i have to know about everything everything and that can be a blessing but we're both like that like when we talk about things we're like why but why is he good at saying sorry apologizing sam and i are so similar we don't really argue which is amazing but if we ever have a disagreement we're so similar that we both have to know why like we said before and that is the moment of like but why but why trying to explain each other to each other what we're saying but then it always comes to a point where we're both like I'm sorry but you always say I'm sorry and if it's a valid reason you're like I'm sorry that that hurt you and I don't want to do that again and then you learn to not do that again.

54:13You're very receptive to what I say, which is so nice. Good at planning a date? We haven't been on that many dates, I don't think, since our whole relationship. I think our dates are at home. We're kind of just like, we have a good time at home. I think you're good at planning dates, I think. We just go to Scalini. Do you like me immediately or was it a slow burn? No, I liked you immediately, for sure. Did you? Well, yeah. Fuck, I put in a lot of graft. Shit, I wish I'd known that. Well, how immediately do you, how slow burn is a slow burn though? Because. Was there ever a part of you that went, I just don't know if I like this guy or not?

54:51Well, obviously when you first start dating shortly, right? Yeah. But like, was there a part where you're like, I don't know if he's for me. I don't really think like that. I just think, let's just see how it goes. And then if it isn't working out, then it doesn't work out. I don't think so. I think maybe it was like after two weeks, I was like, I like him. Was there anything about me that initially put you off? No. Yes. Fuck yeah. How's your opinion of me changed since you probably got to know me? No, well, yeah, because I love you more.

55:18And what's something you completely misjudged about, Sam, first impression versus now? I didn't really know much about you before I actually met you. And when I met you at the O2, I just saw you flying in on broomsticks, downing pints of Guinness. And I was like, oh, gosh, he's like properly, like he's quite out there and quite reckless and like does crazy things. And then I think that I thought you were going to be like that constantly all the time, but you're not actually like that at all. Should your partner be allowed to read your group chat? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't think, I don't think you should though.

55:51I think that you shouldn't read other people's messages. But, what do you think? Well, I would never want to read yours. Yeah, I don't think I would ever want to read yours. I think I, I think when you're always looking for something, you'll find something that you don't like. So there's no point in deep diving. Like, I'm sure if I went onto your boy's chat, I'd see something that I didn't like. You've already seen things you didn't like in my boy's chat. So the point proven. Who should pay on a date? Now, I just want to put my hands on and say, I'm a traditionalist, but that doesn't mean that I'm right.

56:19But I would say me. As the guy, are you talking about relationships in general or me and you? I just think relationships in general. It's just about communication. Like, if I invite you on a date, I should pay because it's my idea. Like, I've taken you on a date before. You actually didn't let me pay, but I had the intention to pay. I think, yeah, it's just a case on whatever you feel comfortable with in your relationship. But if you're starting dating, it's whoever invites who on the date, they should pay. Okay, I like that. And is it acceptable to watch an episode of a series without your partner?

56:51No. Really? Imagine if I watched Entourage without you. Oh, we're watching Entourage at the moment. Yeah, fucking loving it. Imagine if I watched it without you and then I was like, oh no. I'd be fuming. Exactly, because it's like a moment you have together. You guys can laugh about it, talk about it, debrief. Okay, and we do like to debrief. And I feel like we've done a lot of debriefing today. And I think that is the perfect time for, for us to finish. I do just want to also say thank you so much Tally for coming on. You've done me and Pete, cause he's not here for quite a lot. A massive favor Tally.

From the publisher

It’s a very special guest on Staying Relevant this week whilst Pete is away… Tally is here!


Tally reveals what Sam is ACTUALLY like behind closed doors, away from the podcast and all the chaos of Staying Relevant. They chat about how they first met, their early dating days and the story of their first kiss, which took a lot longer than expected...


They also tackle some classic dating dilemmas such as whether partners should have each other on Find My Friends on each other’s phones and how long is too long to wait for a text from a boy. Plus, we finally get to fact-check some of Sam’s self-proclaimed credentials… romantic, athletic, chess champion?!


And, of course, the question everyone wants answered…Are Sam and Tally getting married?
