Pete Wicks and Sam Thompson, best friends and co-hosts of the Staying Relevant podcast,
have once again entertained their followers with their unique sense of humor, this time by poking fun at their single statuses.
Known for their banter and candidness, the duo’s latest social media video has gone viral for all the right reasons,
showcasing just how well they can laugh at themselves—and the complexities of their love lives.
In the video, Pete and Sam embrace their “pathetic” single statuses, as Pete put it, in a hilarious yet self-deprecating manner.
Fans who follow the duo closely will recall that both have been navigating some difficult personal matters in their romantic lives.
Sam, in particular, had recently all but confirmed the end of his relationship with Zara McDermott during an emotional episode of Staying Relevant. During the podcast, Sam opened up about how challenging the holiday season was for him, revealing that his relationship had fallen apart around Christmas time.
“I’ve been going through some stuff,” Sam admitted in the episode. Pete, ever the supportive friend, responded: “I didn’t know you were essentially on the edge for all of Christmas.” Sam, clearly holding back his emotions, continued, “It wasn’t good… it’s been a real tough month.” Despite the sadness, Pete tried to lighten the mood by joking that Sam had used the tinsel around him like a “Christmas tomb” to wipe his tears, a joke that brought some much-needed levity to the situation.
While Sam’s relationship with Zara was a point of focus for fans earlier this year, Pete’s love life was also a topic of curiosity. There were rumors circulating that Pete was dating Love Island star Maura Higgins, but the relationship was never officially confirmed. Reports later suggested that the pair had parted ways, and Pete, much like Sam, has been navigating the ups and downs of dating in the public eye.
Fast forward to their recent social media post, where Pete and Sam take a lighthearted approach to their singlehood. The video opens with a girl’s voice advising: “She already has 12 other guys telling her she’s pretty, be different.” It then cuts to a scene with Sam, who is sitting on the floor with a white T-shirt draped over his knees. With cardboard taped to his nose and ears, Sam humorously channels the character of Dobby from Harry Potter, exclaiming, “Master gave Dobby a sock,” before shouting, “Dobby is FREEEE… on Thursday night, if you fancy it?”
The video takes another comedic turn when Sam looks off to the side and says, “Bring a mate for Gandalf,” signaling Pete’s entrance. Pete, dressed in a hooded robe and adopting a deadpan expression, stands in front of the camera and adds, “We’re going to be single forever.”
The comedic timing between the two is impeccable, with their playful portrayal of single life striking a chord with their fans. In the post’s caption, Sam cheekily wrote, “Girls: They’re probably out there flirting. Boys:…” before the video plays out. Pete, ever the realist, responded to the post in the comments with, “The fact I spent my Friday night at yours doing this is f**king pathetic.”
The candid nature of their video and comments has resonated with their followers, who appreciate the duo’s openness about their romantic lives. Rather than shy away from the challenges of being single, Pete and Sam have chosen to embrace the situation with humor and self-awareness. Their ability to find laughter in even the most difficult times has only made them more relatable to their audience.
Through their Staying Relevant podcast and their entertaining social media posts, Pete and Sam continue to offer fans a glimpse into their lives, full of wit, charm, and unapologetic humor. Their friendship, built on years of banter and shared experiences, shows no signs of slowing down. And while their love lives may still be in a state of flux, it’s clear that the best friends have found a new connection with their fans, who eagerly await more hilarious moments from the duo.
