Bonus episode of Staying Relevant where Sam Thompson and Peter “Pete” Wicks read listener emails, answer question-box prompts, and tell a story about the one time they “fell out” during a white-water rafting trip; they also do a playful “calming birth message” recording for an anonymous listener and run a “Pete’s day vs Sam’s day” poll.
No guests appear. Hosts are Sam Thompson and Peter James Wicks (Pete). Mentions include “Pippa” (their dog/cosmetics-related context) and an anonymous listener (“Lauren”) for the birth-message bit.
75% of women seeking menopause care don’t receive it (ad for Midi). Pro football predictions are traded on CalShe (ad). The hosts joke that Pete is a “fashion icon” and that Sam’s actions can trigger Pete’s anger.
Listener suggestions for Pete’s Instagram challenges (Greggs ranking, Aldi/Lidl food shop, drive-thru on foot, Boris bike ride, Zumba/aqua aerobics, mosh pit, wrestling class). The rafting fight: Sam allegedly “pretended to paddle” so Pete would get hit by every wave; Pete threw Sam off the boat and they nearly got decapitated during a rope-flag challenge.

I will be swearing if you don't like it, go f*** yourself. I think I've covered all of that. I'm slightly not with it because I've just been with some puppies. And he loved it. We all loved it to be fair. I've got to say, I've never seen a man smile so much. which is making my heart sing. But you know, we're here on a bonus episode to change that. You can only have so much happy Pete. We're about to go through your email, so it won't last long.
3:04But whilst we are doing it, I just want to thank all of you for doing that for me because I really needed that this week. So thank you. I'm very happy. And that is what this podcast is all about. All about that, mate. You deserve it. We're all incredibly proud of what you're doing. For Dog's Sake, Season 2 coming out back end of the year. We think sometime in October, but that's not confirmed. Yeah, around autumn. First email. Right. So, this is a Pete Wicks, this is a Pete Wicks one. Okay. Hey boys. Hey boys. That's not how they wrote it in. They didn't write it like that. Hey boys, was obsessed with Pete posting a story in the tube this week.
3:41Hope he's feeling okay. I'm not. I've come up with a few ideas that I'd like to see Pete try across his Instagram, please. I cannot believe we are still doing Pete. Does Pete exist? Just some suggestions. So these are suggestions that have come in over email. Try Greg's for the first time and rank the top three items. Have you tried Greg's for me? A lot of it's quite a meaty madness, isn't it? Vegan sausage roll is actually very good, I'll be honest with you. So I spend a lot of time in the car and travel a lot, service stations. I always put into the ones with Greg's so that I can get a vegan sausage roll.
4:14So Greg's, I'm okay with. Well, ticked off the list. A second one, Pete obviously does do, but we've never seen him do it. this is something that I think we all want to see documented just a weekly food shop to be honest with you Aldi or Lidl is the one that's been mentioned on the email I'll be honest with you I do a little bit of shopping Aldi time in supermarkets I'm not really an Aldi or Lidl did you not enjoy that one? I loved it but just you pottering round really is what we want to see with a basket and I want to see you just, I think we all want to see you just sort of like, oh, you know when you stand there like next to a food item, you're like, I don't know if I want that or not and like you pick it up, you have a little look at it, look at the back.
4:58I don't, do you know what, when I do a food shop though, I know what I want, I go in and get it. Are you in and out? I'm in and out, mate. So you're not like a peruser? No, no, I don't need it. Listen, I don't need all the other things. I just crack on, get what you need. And are you a self-checkouter or are you a go to the cashier guy? No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to do the robots. I want someone to just scan it. I can't, like, it confused, because then you have to fucking, it's not fucking working. You have to stand there and wait anyway, like a fucking child who's been told to, no, just, I'll go, I'll queue, I will wait and queue rather than do it myself.
5:33Pete queuing. I'm going to be, that's not on there, but I would love to see Pete stood in a queue and just, like, see what he does. The next one is, like, I don't even think this is linked to me. This is fucking weird for anyone. Why would you go through a drive-through on foot? That's not even me, Cody. I'd like to see him do that. Why? Why would you do that? But then again, not UK, let's just take away the foot thing. Just pull up to the next thing. Just walk around behind a Volvo. That is a little bit odd. Just pretend to wind the window down. Just on two legs. But I would like to see you on a drive-through.
6:07I don't think I've ever seen you just say the window comes down. I've been on a drive-through with you. I know, but you've never done it alone. We're just window down. Hi there, I'd like a Big Mac. Maybe some chips and a milkshake. I know you're a vegetarian, but it'd just be very funny to see you ordering via drive-thru. And so they won't be able to hear you on the... You know when you do it through the speakerphone and you know that people get so fucking annoyed and they'll be like, sorry, so I want some fucking chicken nuggets, mate. Well, not chicken nuggets. That has happened. I'll be honest with you.
6:35And in the end, I went, I'll just go round.
6:40would you like any sauce to that i've told you i want barbecue sauce the worst one is when they when you like you do saying and then they forget part of the order i go back around again what would you like i'd like me first order please this next one's fucking brilliant pete on a boris bike i'd love to see pete saddle up on a boris bike to work would be fucking also trying to figure out the mechanics because you know you have to have an app for the boris bike right or a line bike Why is everyone, everything needs a fucking hammer. Yeah, and him trying to scan the QR code, but it's not in the right, you know when you've got to park it and it's not quite in the right place and you've got to take a photo of it.
7:17When they first came out, you used to have to do it on a car, didn't you? I didn't understand that. You did, actually, yeah. Yeah, I spent 15 minutes trying to yank it off of the fucking thing and eventually I got it off and then like literally someone went, are you trying to steal? Like I was trying to steal. I was like, no, I'm just getting the bike out, but I didn't realise you had to do that. So I just forcefully yanked it off and got stuck in there. Pete, have an argument with someone else. I'm not trying to fucking steal. I'm trying to fucking put it in. And why would I fucking steal this piece of shit?
7:41You know what I mean? Like fucking hell. But we could do a team day out on the Boris bikes. I would absolutely love it. Well, now that you're a cyclist as well, you can let us all know. Team day out to Richmond. Richmond Park. Oh, my God, Pippi, you'd love it. Body of water. Lovely. Absolutely. We can all go in our tarlar, get a blank street, and go on the Boris bikes. I would love that. Slay Queens. Illy. Illy. Okay, we're definitely in on that. Oh, by the way, just a little update on the cosmetics. Pippa is actually now going for more salmon sperms. She's going for round two. Yeah, I heard this this morning.
8:14She's caught the bug. And she's taken Annalise with her. Excellent. I just want to point out that that is paid for by yourselves. Will it? Well, not if you can come, Sam. It depends how you do this month. No, no, no, no. Well, I'm joining them. Okay, that's paid for by you personally then. Perfect. Because a little update for everyone. everyone's card has been blocked. And by the way, he's not actually lying. We have all had cards blocked. Bear in mind, co-founder, by the way. Cards completely blocked. I believe it's actually Cutting Heart. Co-founder, cosmetic surgery, limos, random football teams.
8:48Well, last on this list, attend a Zuma or a water aerobics class. I like Zuma. No, Zumba, mate. Zumba. Zumba's just a restaurant. I go there quite a lot. I really like it. I don't mind doing that. That happens quite... I imagine people can imagine me at Zuma. I've seen you at Zuma before. Yeah, yeah. A tender zumba or an aquarobics class would be peat wigs on a Tenerife, on a Tenerife trip. You know when you get those aquarobics instructors? Aquarobics is just for people of a certain age, so I imagine I'd probably fit right in. I don't think many younger people do that. It's kind of the older people.
9:20And they always fall in love with the instructor. Yeah, but maybe I could be an instructor. I don't know if the legs will, I don't know if the joints are going to. But the instructor just stands on the side of the pool. He's not even in the fucking water. Yeah, that's a good point. He's just left leg up, right leg up. He's there with a peanut card and he's like, yeah, just like fucking itch your back. And there's all these old deers that are like, oh, fucking hell, snapping their fucking elbows and that. What country do you think is more synonymous with like aqua aerobics? Oh, Turkey. Turkey, I think Tenerife.
9:51I think Tenerife. No, Tenerife and Benidorm and all that, they don't really do any aqua aerobics because they're too busy drinking fish bowls in the sort of happy hour down the fucking dog and duck on fucking Benidorm strip. Have you been Benidorm before? Fucking love Benidorm, mate. Yeah, I've been Benidorm. What for? Stag do. Oh, God. Yeah, it was wild. To be fair, in that football shirt, you look like you've just come from Benidorm. Yeah, mate, I fit right. The football shirt and mullet, you literally, you could fit right in in Benidorm. I don't understand, so I genuinely don't. Obviously, I've heard of fucking Zumba.
10:27But what is it? Zumba. Oh, it's like a dance class, but fitness. What, all dancing's fitness? Might do like some lunge dance music and then like do your arms side to side at the same time and then maybe like as you're lunging. That's basically what Pippa said. Okay, what Pippa looks like she's doing is waving in a plane. Yeah, so a bit of that though, Pia. How do you feel about a little... Exits to either side, front and back. To the left now, y 'all. Right now, real smooth. Like that kind of stuff. What, do you do it to Casper slide? No. Slide to the left. I was actually in a... Here we go. here we go I fucking hate you when people do things like this I was in a bar on Saturday night when I was at Live and Candy came on and about 10 people were doing the Candy dance and I honestly I wanted I genuinely wanted to throw in a grenade which one was the Candy dance?
11:14it's like Candy oh yeah oh I like that dance it's like a line dance isn't it? I just like there were a group of them and they were like fucking high-fiving each other and I thought you are a bunch of did you get in there? did I fuck did I fuck what I'd like to do is got in there with a fucking baseball bat and swung it around. All right? Just fucking grow up. Oh, my God. Okay, this is something that we have to get Pete to do. A mosh pit at a heavy metal concert. I will fuck someone up. Mate, people will run at each other. Yeah, run at me. I will fuck you up. And they close their eyes and just start swinging.
11:50It's fucking mental. Oh, well, in which case I'm going to win because I'll have my eyes open. My beady little eyes will be open. And when you come in blind at me, you're fucking going down. I've seen Have you seen the videos Where people literally Like They knock people out Yeah if I see some Fucking silly Watch UFC once Try and fucking Scissor kick me Or do a fucking Flying back heel That fucking Flying back heel I will fucking Bury him Wrestling Ever fancied a bit of wrestling Logan Paul's doing it right now He's a professional wrestler For WWE Do you know what I've never really been Into the whole wrestling thing I mean I think It would be funny I've done some Natural Libra before There we fucking go That is literally wrestling Yeah, I've done a bit of Mexican wrestling.
12:29Have you dived off the top buckle? I have. How'd it go? It hurts. It does, doesn't it? The canvas is heavy. I've got to say, it is a load of bollocks, but you've got to be some sort of athlete. It's quite painful when you're bouncing off the fucking ropes. Me and Pete should go to a wrestling class. Oh, my God. And do, like, clotheslines and stuff for each other. I'm up for it. That would be amazing. You can't be a dick. You can't actually hurt me. You've got to, like, do the actual wrestling. It's wrestling, mate. It's a form of combat. It's a form of combat. I mean, how do you think we would get on?
12:55I've always said that we should have a boxing match. No, because I'd better you.
13:02I've always refused to go for a boxing match. I'll do wrestling because you know wrestling. So I feel like you'd be... And listen, you're a big guy now. I would definitely do wrestling. I'd 100 % do wrestling. Maybe we can look at that. Because I love WWE so much. What would your wrestling name be? Oh, God, you could put me on spot a little bit, mate. I'll tell you, I'll have to come back to you on that. My favourite was Batista. All right. that's already someone. No, no, but that was just my favourite wrestler. I used to fucking love him. Isn't he an actor now? He is, yeah. Dave Bautista. Dave Bautista, yeah.
13:32He used to do something called a Batista bomb, which is fucking epic. So what do you think your signature move would be? It would be a power bomb, probably. A power bomb? Yeah, I don't know if I'd be able to get up there, though, because I don't have the strength, but I'd love to. Maybe Ray Mysterio. No, because you know I don't actually have the strength. With your beard and suspect haircut and the fact you're in shape now, you are like the UK's Logan Paul. I think you could take up a bit of wrestling. Ogerpoole's like six foot tall. Do you know what's wild? We talked about boxing. There is a part of me that would like to do one of those misfit boxing matches.
14:06Mate, I have always thought to myself I'd love to have a fucking go. I know I wouldn't because I actually don't handle pressure well at all. I would crumble. I'd probably cry. I'm quite emotional. I feel like if someone punched me in the face, I'd probably cry. but like I would love the idea of like putting yourself in that uncomfortable position and seeing if you could do it but what I don't like is the slagging off they do at the start yeah but Jordan Banjo's just done it and just beat someone and he didn't slag anything he literally didn't slag anyone off he's like I'm not getting involved in all that bollocks yeah because someone would say something it just really hurt my feelings whereas I'd quite you know I'd be like fucking Conor McGregor wouldn't I yeah it's red panty night get me on the fucking mic Jesus Christ hold on hold on hold on hold on why are we calling this Pete's next public mission.
14:53What the fuck is happening? What is going on here? Well, because we just want to see you exist in public. Of course I exist. I know I exist. Why do I have to prove it? No one else does. No one else has to prove they exist. I just can't see it. I'm sorry, mate. I just can't see you taking the bins out. So just film yourself doing shit. And we'll all believe you. But why would I do that? I'll tell you what. Next time I take my fucking... I did it this morning. I did it this morning at quarter past five. I went down and put the bins in the chute. But I didn't think to myself, oh, I must let the public know I've done this.
15:26This is such a weird analogy. Even Pete, like, deciding to go to sleep. Like, just going, right, it's time. And then just, like, lying down. I took myself off to bed last night. I know, but just in silence and turning around, turning over and going... I always put on some sort of documentary. I just can't imagine it. What time do you go to bed? Last night I went a bit about half one. And got up at? Quarter past four. See? Yeah, weird. What did you... This morning, I put up the... The sunrise? I watched the sunrise. I watched the sunrise every morning. Why are we shaking our heads at this? I watch the sunrise every morning.
16:04It's lovely. And I like to watch it set if I'm available. Yeah, if I'm available. If I'm around, if I'm in my diary. So I watched the sunrise. And it looked beautiful this morning because it was just like an orange hue across the sky. It was lovely. I played Call of Duty last night. So I came in this morning and Pippa went to me when I woke up the first thing I looked up on his Instagram was yours and you posted a story two hours before. I did. I woke up at like half six and it was like two hours ago Pete on his balcony with the sunrise. That's because you have to understand that Pete's now in his sort of like what's the word?
16:41Something hero. He's in his... Wellness. Wellness hero. Sorry. Must have missed it while I was away. Yeah, well listen, a lot happened since you were away. But look, we're going to do a poll. And if you're an idea that will make people uncomfortable and confused in public, please send it in. See, there you go. So it's not even like people want to do something nice for me. The whole point of this is to make people uncomfortable and confused. Do you know what it's like? Yeah, it's like having your granddad, all right, and then just taking him out and just leaving him somewhere and hope he finds his way home.
17:09Like, do you know what I mean? Just leaving some old man confused somewhere, wandering around, not knowing where he is. That's what you will want to do to me. Oh, that's so funny. I just confused. And do you know what's the maddest part of it? Is I'm probably the most efficient and independent out of all of you. But yet I'm the one that you all want to confuse and fucking make... Let's confuse that ****. I'm always confused. To be honest with you, mate. I barely know what day it is most of the time. I'm wearing a Fiona Tina shirt right now. Well, we've got... Hi, Sam and Pete. Next one. Look who overtook my husband.
17:41Old speedy gone fucking Zalis over there. Mark Cavendish in the corner. earlier today on the King's Road. He said, hello, Sam, but you had your ear pods in. Notice you were sporting the vest top, showing off those guns. Where were you going? Loving the glow up, love the pod, Caroline. Picture attached of Sam on his bike looking fucking, I learned it yesterday from Chuckles, wham! Sam looking wham. I know exactly when it was. Where were you off to? Overtook someone as well. I was late for a tattoo. Late for the tattoo. So Lance Armstrong went and got tattooed and had a penis on his arm. So still keeping up the cycling?
18:21I fucking love it. Getting from A to B is so easy. Have you cycled into work yet? I haven't, but I'm going to start. Yeah. I can't wait for the day that you come in and we can't start the pod because you've got to take your helmet and lycra off whilst you carry your bike into the office and just lean it up against the wall. That's what I do. I've still got the ball holder on the back of the fucking bike though and it just looks like my bike's got a butt plug and it just doesn't look right. I haven't got an Allen key to take it off. But I love it, mate. I'm all over it. Although my sarconic kit is terrible.
18:51What do you mean you don't have an Allen key? You've got a toolkit. No, don't. See, this is something I didn't realise. This is like a men thing because my brother-in-law has a medical kit, a toolkit, a drill, and everything. I've got none of that. I've got a full DeWalt toolkit. See, I don't have a toolkit. I need a toolkit. I need to go buy myself a toolkit, guys. From floor to up here, all in different compartments, I've got extra screws. Yeah, no, I need that. I need a toolkit. I need some germline. I need a, like, I need, like, a medical supply kit. Germline? Yeah, I just feel like I need to sort of, like, have that guy stuff, you know?
19:24Like, if anyone needs, like, if someone has a problem, don't worry, I've got the toolkit. I've got the drill. I've got the screw fix. The screw fix? Yeah. What? That's a shock, mate. That's a thing. You don't have a screw fix. Fucking hell. I mean, have you ever done any kind of shelf putting up DIY or anything like that? I've tried a few times, but I'm going to be honest with you, mate. I just don't. I get bored. Well, you don't need to. The builders live with you. I get so bored. I can't concentrate enough to do it. You know when you have to follow those fucking instructions and you put a flat pack together and you're like, I feel like I'm missing at least four screws.
19:59I don't know where they've gone. And I always give up. Why are you looking like that? Well, it's funny that actually, because obviously we're in a new office and things have been quite busy for you and I. so the team have been looking after the business. So Annalise has been spending a fortune on handymen coming in. But at one point she did decide that she'd put up some of the chairs and we just noticed yesterday on Josh's chair that for some reason there's four screws that just haven't been put in. We don't know where they're from. We don't know what's happened. He's basically... But Annalise went, well, there just might be extras.
20:28There might be. Like they send in... Yeah, I'll tell you what, buy the chair and we give you four screws for free. That's a screw fix. But yeah, so we've actually got a handyman coming in today, haven't we? Oh no, we've got a handy woman. A handy woman coming in. Lovely. Because the last one was 12. Last woman was 12? No, no, no. The last handyman that came in was 12 years old. He's a catfish. This isn't a dating app. So, sorry, what Annalise is now doing, because you can pick him off a picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what Annalise has done, so if you are listening for the websites that, you know, you can get these handymen and you can book them in, it's similar to like Secret Spa where you get the massage.
21:04Task rabbit. Yeah, yeah, all of that sort of stuff. If you could just put their height and a little bio about them, what they like to do. Yeah, if they like long walks on the beach. Yeah, it does affect two Annalise books because she wasn't happy with the child that you sent. We have another email from Andrew. Hi, boys. Pete Wicks is an absolute fucking fashion icon. Go on, Andy. And I will no longer hear slander of these people who say otherwise. I've based many of my looks off Pete. Ooh, many, many wardrobes, such as the leather jacket and fedora era to the velvet jackets and white shirts That's during the summer gigs I perform.
21:38Gigs. Sam, well done, you'll blow up. That is all. Although he's given me one line. He goes, Sam, well done, you'll blow up. That is all. Pete, you're a star icon. Even in those jelly shoes.

24:31We may need you, actually. We're going to be doing something very, very fun, very, very, very soon. I don't think I've ever seen you in a velvet jacket and white shirt, though. Yeah, white shirts is just summer. Velvet jackets, like red carpets. Yeah, okay. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah. I think it means different. not just sort of like on a sort of just a day out. I think he's a wedding singer. Well, I don't know why. I've just got a feeling. Well, oh no, sorry. Who could be getting married sometime soon? Fuck you. We have questions. And a lot of them. Da-da-da question time. What should I have for lunch?
25:10What do you think? I don't know why. Just because I want a high sugar intake, what should I have? Oh, fucking Christ. I'll text her and ask. We're going to move on. We're going to move on to some questions that you guys have sent us via the question box, which goes up on our socials every week at Sand Room Podcast. Make sure you follow all of that sort of stuff. Right. First up, what university society do you think you would have been in? Now, I didn't go to uni. So this to me is a little bit, I'm not sure. And I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but neither did I. Yes, and we're two lads who haven't done this journey.
25:46Are we talking US or in the UK? Based on the fact that we are in the UK and both brought up in the UK, I'd probably say. I don't know what they mean by society. I imagine, would you be part of the debating team, chess teams, or? Oh, fuck me. I actually used to like, I think debating I'd be quite good at. Is that where I'm going with this, or have I got this wrong? Mm-hmm. Yeah. The way you all look to me, like, surprise. Is it because I said debating team? Do you want to fucking argue with me? No. There you go. Well, we don't want to argue with you because you just are convinced you're right to the point that we lose hope.
26:16even when you're wrong that makes me a master debater makes you aggressive yeah well listen when you're right you're right I quite like chess I would have liked to have been better at chess and learnt some bit of chess so debating and chess club for Peter at university I imagine you to be rowing I don't know you'd have been the guy at the front that just helps them shout out the little guy the cocks have you seen those videos that have gone viral about the aura of the kid going, yeah, that had been you. I would have fucking loved that. That would be you on the front just doing the fucking crane and fucking whatever else.
26:55Whilst you're in the back, I'm just really giving it some. Yeah, you strike me as the sort of guy that would do lacrosse. I tell you, you've got to be quite big for lacrosse. Mate, I think you're underestimating. You know there's university Quidditch teams. Okay, let's move on. No, no, no, you would love that. You've got to catch the snitch from someone's ass. Legit, by the way, that's not even lying. I've spoken about this before. Something tells me you are the snitch. I imagine that would be the case there. And you know what they say? Snitches get stitches. Talking about actually about rowing quickly, me and Pete did a white water rafting excursion down in Colorado.
27:26Oh, fuck me. Yeah, we forgot about this one. We nearly fell out. This is something that genuinely, I've never seen like a more serious argument come from Pete. Like, so we're white water rafting and I'm just having fun with it. And as you do. But I wanted us to get down safely and quickly. The rapids are quite, they're quite heavy, to be fair. It is quite dangerous. But, like, we're having fun. We're all over the place. Why did you get so, like, he got so fucking angry at me? I'll tell you why. He threw me off the boat. Right. Because Sam, all Sam wanted was for me to fall in. Didn't matter about anything else.
28:00So what Sam did, when we're both needing to paddle at certain points, he'd pretend he was paddling and just paddle the air so that I took all the brunt of it, all right, so that I'd hit every fucking wave and bump, all right, and he'd go, I'm paddling. I can see you're not paddling. I can see it. And he'd go, no, no. The whole thing's been videoed. Literally, I got out and I said to Ted, play it back. Play it back. See the **** paddling. All he wanted was for me to hit every fucking thing. That's what it was. Every single time you go down, obviously, it hits a fucking massive wave. And so I would always have Pete.
28:32So he was turned into the wave every time. So every time it just smacked me fucking here, there. I'm trying to paddle out of this fucking thing. He sat there like he's on a pedalo in Hyde Park. And I'm there fucking, stuck fucking all over the shop. Then at one point, I nearly got decapitated because we had to do a fucking challenge. We had to grab a flag from a rope across the river. So Sam's gone on the first one. Stand up then. He's then paddled really quick for once. Turned it round. Fucking nearly took me out of the boat, decapitated. Ticking Pete's head off. He's literally flown backwards on the boat after hitting this piece of string.
29:07Piece of string? See, it was a fucking rope. Do you know what the message is? Can we all just picture Pete really trying, like trying to steady the boat and trying to do it. I'm there using the fucking pad, trying to get it right, asking the geezer out to do it. And he's going, I'm paddling, I'm paddling. Oh, that was so funny. But actually, I've never seen you, I don't think, other than that one time before the Brits, which we won't talk about, where he literally called me, and went, I could fucking slap you. But other than that, I've never seen you more annoyed in my entire life to the point where I actually had to apologise afterwards.
29:43What is the common denominator in both of those situations? Me and you? No, you. There's no me and you. The common denominator in both of them is just you. But, yeah, I mean, fuck me. Sometimes I think he genuinely tries to kill me. Oh, it was so funny. Where would Pete take the girls out for a day? Where would you go? Where would you go? Well, I know where you're going from. No, we've already done that a few times. Where would I take you out for the day? What if we had a... Do you know what, girls? I'd love to take you all to a spa. Lame. I'd take you for work. Sorry. Sounds like I'm a pimp. Yeah, you'll literally have your own street corner.
30:30I'd take you for aesthetics. And your own speciality. Yeah, I'd get you a facial. I'll get you all that stuff. Still sounds like a pimp. Whatever you want, really. Do you know what I'm saying? I'm liberal with the cards. So, you know, you guys, do you know what? I won't even tell you what. You tell me. If, actually, I'll tell you what, let's do a poll. Which of us would you rather come on a day out with? What, a live poll now? Live now, right now. I know you're lying if you say it's not me. Yeah, can we have, like, the options of what each day consists of? I will take you all on a spa day out, book you on a hotel as well so that we can have a nice sort of girls evening where we're all going to go and have pre-drinks.
31:11Spa in the morning, afternoon bottomless brunch. We will then go for dinner, followed by a lovely night out where we can dance around tables and our handbags. And then we'll all go home. We'll get some takeaway together to discuss the night, go through all the videos and pictures that we've taken and the next morning we'll regroup around breakfast and then I'll send you all home in a chauffeur-driven car. Where's dinner? Yeah, I mean, none of that will happen. So, I mean, yeah, I mean, I could say all of those things. I mean, but he's just lied to all of you and just giving you all a picture-perfect event.
31:45Can you imagine Pete's at a fucking sleepover? And also, and also, it won't be a sleepover. They will have their own rooms. Can you imagine Pete, like, dissecting the videos and pictures from the night before? and it will all be paid for personally by me. Yeah, but where's the fun in that? Okay. What's yours then? Well, I don't have that. I don't know. I'll just say to you, ladies, where do you want to go? Okay, right. Everybody ready to vote? So, would you rather come on Pete's day or Sam's day? Who's up for Pete? Well, I feel like Pete's just nicked every single thing that you'd want to do and just shoved it into one excursion.
32:23No, because you would outsource the planning for our day and then we would end up having to book and plan everything. If you had to organise and do it, come around, play cod and play the case? Do you know what? Barbecue at mine. I would have a way more normal thing. Like that's like, those are all excursions. I would genuinely be like, let's go to, like when I went out with you girls to the pear tree, some of you girls to the pear tree, I'd just come out, I'd come out with you and your friends and just enjoy it. Just be one of your mates. I'd come out and hang with your pals and I'd just have a really good time with you all, to be honest with you.
32:50I'd be one of you. I wouldn't be your boss. All right, there you go. So the first one we did was a 5-0. Let's try again after Sam's pitch. Pete's day or Sam's day? Pete's day? Still the 5-0. I remember that. But on a serious note, girls, never fucking happening. Whereas for me, it has already happened. It has already happened. Pete, you've also just jumped over something that I think could be quite fun. Can you record a calming message for me to listen to when I'm in labour? It's coming any day now. she's gone to Staying Relevant the podcast for fucking labour soothing chat so Pete we're going to throw this one to you I think because you've got a better voice than I do because I would go come on you've got it I think we should do two okay I think you should do one okay and then I'll do one should we go together why don't we go one for one alright we'll do it together so you kick it off and we'll just see how we go what are we calling her Lauren probably her name what's her name she hasn't got her name on it it was on the question box so it's anonymous oh it's anonymous let's call her Lauren Hi, Anonymous.
33:54Lauren, come on. You've got this, girl. Squeeze it out. Push. Push. Breathe. We can see it crowning. It's a boy. Anonymous. Breathe deeply. Think about how much fun you had when you were making this baby. You's going to make it sexual. It's not sexual. This is a birth.
34:23concentrate it will all be over soon your baby will be beautiful don't push yet don't push too soon I think that's how you shit yourself go with the flow think of whales think of whales
34:42just calming whale music it will be over soon we all have our fingers crossed that you don't have an ugly child hopefully all the toes, fingers and everything is in place. Good luck. I love you. Well done, Lauren. You squeezed it out. You've nailed it. And it's a good looking kid.
35:08There we are. I don't think that's going to help anyway. I think the baby will hear that and go back in. Yeah, clamber back in. I don't want to get out. Well, as I said, I remember being birthed. So yeah, I didn't want to go out either. What would have calmed you? If the first sound, when you came out of your mother, do you remember it? Because you remember the birth? No, I don't remember the birth. I just remember the feeling of the birth. I do. Don't shake your head like that. I do. I remember the feeling. You don't. I remember being warm and cosy and then cold and bright. And I was like, ah, and that's why I was screaming.
35:44You don't. I do. I genuinely do. I just do. Sam, eight billion people in the world, and you are the only person that remembers their birth. I do. I remember it very well. If we could clip up that, actually, that'd be really, really nice. I think we should clip that birthing voiceover just so for Lauren or whoever the anonymous is. Why have we gone with Lauren? I don't know. She's just made a name, didn't she? Oh, well, and also, I tell you, if we do it for loads of names, we can probably sell them on the website. It'd be like Matthew McConaughey. Oh, because he does his sleep stuff. We should do a sleep, but it has to be a duo.
36:22Well, we've got an audio book coming. Yeah, yeah. But the sleep one would be great because you'll just settle off with Pete's beautiful tones. And then, you know when you're watching TV and something happens in the movie that wakes you back up? It'll be like that. It'll be people just have got you to sleep. And now you're dreaming. I think maybe we could actually probably do something like that. I could do a sleep one and you could do like a - Wake up. Yeah, you could do the wake up. Do you know what I mean? I'll send you to sleep and you'll abruptly wake them up first thing in the morning. Let's say she's called Bonnie.
36:53Bonnie! Bonnie, up you get. Come on, we've got days to slay. Bonnie, stay in bed. You don't want to be part of this society. I certainly don't. Have another drink. Yeah. We do have one more little bit of housekeeping as well before the end of this bonus episode. please please please vote for us to win the listeners choice we're not doing this again surely one award's enough we will we will put the link across all of our socials we're going for two for two here okay Pippa needs to go up and collect the next award this is a really really big deal so I know we beg you for a lot of things and we're begging again on a bended knee please if you could Pete maybe just ask them I'm happy with one I'll be honest with you we had a moment in the limelight since then the podcast has gone rapidly downhill there's been sort of face sitting farts in jars and all sorts of stuff so we have rested on our laurels we've got what we wanted don't bother there is plenty of great podcasts out there I could probably set up a list for you of things that she'd probably win over us also we didn't really beg too much apart from the VR, what do you call it?
38:12QR codes and all the others for the last one. Now that works, thankfully. However, if we do it again, it kind of tarnishes the first one. But I'm begging. So please, I would really love to get back on that stage with Peter and do a two for two. So if you can, we'd really, really, really, really appreciate it. Okay, you've only got to the 8th of September. So up until the 8th of September, if you could buy tickets to the O2, pre-order the book and all the other things, but also just throw in a few bucks. They won't have any time to work. No one's going to have any time to do anything. It's ridiculous.
38:51We keep asking everyone for everything. Yeah, fuck it. Vote for us. Please, we implore you. And thank you so much for listening to this bonus episode of Staying Relevant with Pete Wicks and me, Sam Thompson. We love you. This has been a Staying Relevant production.
