Episodes
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 to all our brilliant guests for maki...
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 full swing. Who’s going to ...
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 chatting UGGs, pumpkin spice lattes...
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 from Pete, who casually admits he’s...
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 Belly would actually pick?!
Sam als...
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 One Night Only at the O2 AND a de...
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 delivered a “wise saying” that, we do...
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 Instagram unfollows - and Pete ...
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’s focused on the O2. With the NT...
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 another million dollar debate:&...
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 Today is BACK: this week with ...
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...?
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 Digital Josh can finally rela...
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 dress code. Clue: think shi...
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?!

It’s Sam’s birthdayyyyy! 🥳
Naturally, we’ve gone FULL SR CHAOS. The set is decked out, there’s a homemade (questionable) cake, and mystery presents that have Sam nearly hyperventilating with excitement.
We also chat Sam doing Gladiators, Pete’s trek for CoppaFeel, and we get a bit salty about the podcast award nominations....we think we should’ve been on that list.
Does Pete Exist? We’re still not sure… however we do think it’s time for another adventure. Aldi run? Lime bike? We weigh up the options for Pete’s next outing.
The boys also debate who’d win in a wrestling match, Sam gets spotted in the wild, and we learn of the one time Pete got genuinely angry at Sam.
In Question Time, we’re chatting uni societies, where we'd take the girls on the team for a day out, an...
Sam’s gone for a niche tattoo, Pete’s braved the tube (again), and we’ve got a BIG surprise in store for him... involving his absolute favourite thing: puppies!
Plus, it’s time for Pete’s final Love Island update (he’s gutted, obviously). Now that he’s officially in his gym era, we reckon it might be time for a nutritionist — and luckily, Sam might just know the person 👀
And of course… we couldn’t no...
Pete’s feet are back in the spotlight as he whips out the bare toes once again but this time, we come prepared with official foot ratings for both Pete AND Sam. It spirals into a full on toe wars debate!
We also surprise Sam with a tweet that leaves him completely speechless… and somehow ends with Pete sitting on his face. Don’t ask. Just listen.
Plus, it’s question time! We dive into our biggest fears with Pe...
