Episodes

Sam and Pete are heading to Vegas! 30.10.2025

On this week's spoooooky Halloween bonus episode we discover the boys are off to Vegas! What are they up to? No one knows - but expect pure CHAOS. The team finally headed off to Harry Potter for Sam's belated birthday celebrations and Pete was way too excited to wave his wand around. PLUS... there's a quick GBU update (spoiler: they lost… again) and sponsor Pete is not a happy man. And.....

151: Sam and Pete Make Headlines... 27.10.2025

This week’s episode was recorded the morning after our book launch event, the one that Sam supposedly organised! Pete ended up having a much better time than expected, and the boys chat all about what it was like hosting a room full of influencers. How did their speeches go? Any memorable conversations to report? They also relive the Pride of Britain Awards, where the boys made quite the entrance...

Pete discovers Jellycat Airlines 22.10.2025

Our trip to Harry Potter Studios has finally arrived, and Pete couldn’t be more thrilled to wave his wand around. Meanwhile, something else he might be even more excited for… Jellycat Airlines has officially taken off! The boys also debate what roles they’d take on if they ever lived together, and reminisce about their old pet names from Fox to Treacle Tart. Plus, King Kylie is back and inspiring...

150: Sam's HARD Launch... 19.10.2025

This week, For Dogs’ Sake Season 2 is officially back, and Pete’s back on our screens too. But that’s not the only show he’s appearing on. He’s also been on TV with his mum, showing off some surprisingly spicy celeb ex knowledge. So, does Pete secretly love a bit of gossip? Meanwhile, Sam went viral, but not for the reason he’d hoped. Let’s just say the wrong NFL shirt caused a stir, and he was no...

Pete FAILED a test?? 15.10.2025

On this week’s bonus episode, we find out if Sam has finally made it to the Monday meeting - only a year into running the business! Plus, we’ve got some big news… there’s now an official fan podcast! So, are we actually relevant now? Pete’s brand new show For Dog’s Sake has finally aired - and it might just be some of his best work yet. Meanwhile, Sam gives us a surprising...

149: Chris McCausland ROASTS Sam and Pete! 12.10.2025

This week, the boys are joined by returning guest, the hilarious and brilliantly talented Strictly Come Dancing champion Chris McCausland! A year on from his glitterball glory, Chris is back to chat all things Strictly. From his early hesitations and training mishaps to his unexpected bromance with Pete, he spills all. He also opens up about life after the show, his partnership with...

Sam's new enemy and Pete receives a surprise delivery 08.10.2025

This week, Sam and Pete check in on GBU’s wobbly performance: from losses to one draw, have they taken their eye off the ball?? Meanwhile, Sam’s picked up a rather questionable new hobby - sending piles of poo to people... and Pete’s just received a special delivery in the post. Coincidence? We think not. There’s office parking drama, strongly worded reviews, and Sam’s big leap into the literary w...

148: Sam gets PIED! 05.10.2025

This week Sam has clearly had a meeting with a spray tan as he is looking suspiciously orange. Pete isn’t letting it slide…it’s giving Oompa Loompa. Meanwhile poor Pete is ill, but still soldiers on we pit Pete and Sam against each other as traitor versus faithful.  The boys also question if they would survive Race Across the World, and Pete’s 66 to 1 odds of becoming the next James Bond spar...

Sam tries S*xting... 01.10.2025

This week the boys tackle how old is too old when it comes to dating? And could Pete and Sam really land themselves sugar mummies… or would it all come down to how much someone would pay to get with Sam? Sam also has a go at sexting, which goes about as well as you’d expect. We also get sent, in Pete’s own words, “his favourite email so far,” which, surprisingly, is Great Barr United themed. ...

147: The O2 Show Debrief! 28.09.2025

Fresh off the back of the O2 (and yes, we actually pulled it off), we’re debriefing all the highs and lows. From Sam hiding in fear to screens breaking and zero run-throughs, it was pure chaos… but somehow we smashed it and even picked up a seventh world record along the way. We also can’t not talk about Pete and Jowita’s big dance ending. A massive thank you to everyone who came, supported, and t...

Pete's thoughts on Strictly... 24.09.2025

This week, the boys receive an unexpected delivery… a box of sex toys. But the real question is: will Pete actually dare to test out a sex swing? From there, the conversation spirals into a big debate: If Staying Relevant wasn’t the name, what would it be? In the process, we uncover Sam and Pete’s “hear me outs,” and yes, Mary Berry maybe is Pete's secret crush. And of course, Strictly fever is in...

146: Sam and Pete’s Disasters Meeting Exes’ Parents 21.09.2025

We’d just come off the back of the O2 (well… technically, we recorded this before it happened), so by the time you’re listening it either went down as the best night ever or completely t*ts up. Sam’s mullet is the talk of the town, but the big question is whether he’s finally ready to say goodbye to it. Meanwhile, Pete admits he once rocked a full-on skinhead. With autumn rolling in, we’re chattin...

Sam CONFRONTS his nemesis! 17.09.2025

We kick start this week’s episode with a curveball for Sam as one of his so-called enemies dials in live on the pod. Sean from Hinge, the guy who once listed Sam as his irrational fear on his profile, joins us to confront him head-on!  From there, things take another turn with a big question: what actually makes a MILF? That innocent query quickly spirals into some eye-opening revelations fro...

145: Sam and Pete in a love triangle?! 14.09.2025

The boys hosted the NTAs red carpet this week - but Sam wasn't twinning with Pete as planned?! Daytime TV Sam also made his return and Pete had some strong opinions about that beaded necklace. Next up was Pete’s favourite segment:  The Summer I Turned Pretty  UPDATE! But we turn the tables and ask if Pete and Sam were in their own Conrad vs. Jeremiah love triangle, who do they think Bell...

Sam and Pete tear the team apart 10.09.2025

This week, Pete’s making bold predictions on the GBU scorecard given their upcoming first game of the season, Sam’s in bits after the Back to Hogwarts event at King’s Cross Station gets cancelled for the first time ever, and somehow… Sam & Pete are now officially on birthday cards. This episode has screams, a brutally honest check-in on how Sam and Pete feel towards their O...

144: THE Holiday Debrief! 07.09.2025

The boys are back from holidaaay! Expect a full Marbs & Ibiza debrief: Sam spent 90% of the trip topless, returning not so much bronzed god but according to Pete looking like he’d been clapping with baked beans. Meanwhile, Pete is out here self-identifying as causing chaos everywhere… The boys came to the studio fresh from Loose Women where Olive and Rose got a shoutout… and Pete proudly deliv...

Sam has a new nemesis 03.09.2025

This week, Sam is officially a conversation starter after Hinge user Sean names him as his most irrational fear. The Hinge chat continues as listeners send in their wildest prompts: including a human compass, flirty meows and woofs, irrational fears of crumpets. Meanwhile Pete reveals his most irrational fear... and let's just say it involves ass. Plus, the boys get brutally honest about...

143: Sam is feeling BROODY... 31.08.2025

The boys are heading off on holiday, but with very different agendas. Sam is in full “Uncle Sam” mode, third wheeling his sister’s trip with baby Leo, while Pete insists he’s off to Ibiza for work. As part of his Ibiza prep, Pete tries his hand at a practice vibe check call as we put him on the spot to call up Sheesh… Meanwhile, all that nephew time has Sam feeling surprisingly broody, while Pete’...

Sam gets a lesson in s*x education 27.08.2025

Pete’s less than thrilled about our new sponsored football team Great Barr United… but can we drag him to Birmingham to watch them play anyways? Sam gets an unexpected s*x ed lesson, and Pete faces his biggest dilemma yet... straight out of the worldwide phenomenon 'The Summer I Turned Pretty': Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah... Pick f*cking wisely. And yes, Question Time is back with...

142: Was Sam Caught in the Act? 24.08.2025

Sam’s in his wholesome era and we’re unpacking his perfect Saturday… which looks  nothing  like Pete’s. Meanwhile, Pippa’s outed for sneaking off to padel mid–workday, and Sam’s officially banned from Hinge. Tough Week. Pete, on the other hand is deep in the edit for  For Dog’s Sake but don’t worry, he’s still finding time to live, laugh, love (and roast your home décor). Oh, and SR...

Pete is shaving his beard! 20.08.2025

Pete & Sam’s ages are revealed (yes, Pete actually exists!), Pete’s beard is on the chopping block, and the SR girls are officially influencers! We’re also sponsoring a football team... drum roll please... Great Barr United FC!! So expect big things on and off the pitch. Plus: Biggest icks, what songs would play every time Sam and Pete walk in the room and will Sam ever feel his penis again......

141: Pete ROASTS Sam’s new Hinge dating profile 17.08.2025

Sam’s made his HITS Radio Breakfast debut and casually revealed that he’s joined Hinge. Naturally, Pete had to give a brutally honest review of his dating profile. We dive into the new Strictly line-up with Pete getting nostalgic about his time on the show. Pete’s also heading to Ibiza soon, a trip Sam might crash… which he isn’t entirely thrilled about. We’ve also hit 100k YouTube subscribers so...

Does Sam Exist...? 13.08.2025

Does Sam even exist? This week, we flip it and put Sam to the test on DIY, MegaBus, and budget flights - which somehow leads Pete to bring up a story about Sam’s in-flight tummy troubles. The bedazzled eye patch has officially joined Pete’s wardrobe, and we’ve got  BIG NEWS  about the O2… more tickets have just dropped! Oh, and after all your requests, we can finally reveal the O2 d...

140: Hard Launches and Dating Age Gaps 10.08.2025

Sam spent his birthday on set for Aftersun and yes…he did meet Helena. He’s also in full boss mode right now: is a four-day work week on the cards for the team?!
