Meanwhile, PlushCare offers online access to board-certified physicians who can prescribe weight loss medications for those who qualify. Hinge, a dating app, introduces voice prompts that allow friends to hype up potential matches on your behalf.

Pete, who is under the weather, won't be drinking during this bonus episode.

    • Listeners' Shocking and Amusing StoriesListeners engage with the podcast by sharing personal stories, leading to entertaining and relatable discussions between the hosts

      The podcast hosts, Pete and Sam, express their gratitude towards their listeners for their engagement and support. They share anecdotes from listener messages, some of which are too explicit to be shared on air. One such story involved cousins who discovered they were married to each other after the fact and chose to stay together, leading to a debate on the topic of incest. Another listener, Jess, shared how Sam has influenced her dating life, with men being compared to him and some even becoming listeners as a result. The hosts found the story amusing and appreciated the listener's candidness. Overall, the episode highlights the unique connection between the podcast and its audience, with listeners sharing personal stories and the hosts engaging with them in a relatable and entertaining way.

    • Sam's charm might not make him a great romantic partnerSam's appeal makes him a great friend, but his perceived shortcomings in the bedroom might make him less desirable as a romantic partner.

      While Sam Thompson is a lovable and high-energy individual, he may not be the best partner for romantic relationships. The speaker acknowledges Sam's charm and appeal but expresses confusion about why people would want to date him given his potential shortcomings in the bedroom. The speaker, Pete, uses his friendship with Zara as an example of how Sam's charisma can make him a desirable person to be around, but not necessarily a desirable romantic partner. Pete jokes about Sam's appearance and suggests that he might not be high on the list for "shag, marry, kill," a hypothetical game where one must choose to shag, marry, or kill three people. Ultimately, Pete seems to be suggesting that while Sam is a great friend and fun to be around, he may not be the best romantic partner due to his perceived shortcomings in the bedroom.

    • Respecting Others' Boundaries in Never Have I EverNever Have I Ever is a fun game, but always respect others' boundaries and ensure it remains a positive experience for all involved.

      While playing the game Never Have I Ever, the ultimate goal may be to win, it's important to consider the comfort and feelings of others in the group. During a conversation, Sam shared an embarrassing story from his past involving a creative variation of the game, which left his partner uncomfortable and led to an abrupt end of the game. While it's natural to want to win, it's crucial to remember that the game is meant to be a fun and social experience, not a source of discomfort or embarrassment for others. It's essential to respect everyone's boundaries and ensure that the game remains a positive and enjoyable experience for all involved. So, while you may want to win, always keep in mind the importance of consideration and respect for others.

    • Considering Consequences in Social SituationsBe mindful of potential consequences when trying new things in social situations. Use safe and appropriate objects and consider social implications.

      While exploring new experiences can be exciting, it's important to consider the potential consequences, especially in social situations. The use of unconventional objects, such as beer bottles, can lead to painful or embarrassing situations and may not be appropriate in all contexts. A safer alternative, such as vegetables, could be considered instead. Additionally, it's crucial to be mindful of the social implications of our actions and the messages we send to others, especially within relationships and in front of new acquaintances. The etiquette is about being considerate and respectful towards oneself and others.

    • Embrace personal stories in conversations, but do it tastefullyWhile it's good to be open, be mindful of sharing overly personal or risqué stories in certain contexts, like 'Never Have I Ever' game. Share authentically and tastefully to make for interesting conversations.

      While it's important to strive to win in most situations, there are exceptions, such as the game "Never Have I Ever." In this game, it's better to keep personal stories to a minimum and avoid sharing overly risqué experiences. However, the hosts of the podcast believe that being open and sharing personal stories can be fun and make for interesting conversations, as long as it's done tastefully. They encourage their listeners to embrace their quirks and live their lives authentically. If you want to engage with the hosts further, you can email them at stayingrelevant@insanityhq.com, follow them on Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. New episodes, including bonus episodes, will be released every week. So keep listening, stay relevant, and keep being you.

    United Ireland or Bust? Till debt do us part.

    Ireland’s new Taoiseach Simon Harris says he belongs to a generation more familiar with Berlin and Paris than Belfast or Derry. To the Irish citizens of Belfast and Derry, it may have been a surprise but not a shock to hear the Taoiseach speak of them as if they were a strange and distant people. Or maybe they’ll be relieved he didn’t say Londonderry.


    On Free State today, Joe and Dion talk about a united Ireland. Ireland is the only country with a constitutional aspiration for unity so why do the government parties find it so hard to talk about?


    As Fine Gael lionise Margaret Thatcher, is it any wonder they continue to view the north in a negative way. Joe and Dion argue about the recent report into the cost of unity and if there is a significance that one of the authors of the report is the son of Garret FitzGerald.

    How To Win an Election... With Taylor Swift (And Other Celebrities)

    This Saturday morning we're sharing an episode of Times podcast How to Win an Election with listeners of The Story.


    In the US, Taylor Swift could have the power to swing the presidential election. As famous faces come out to back Keir Starmer's plans for the arts, we ask when a celebrity endorsement can boost a campaign... and when it can go badly wrong.


    The political masterminds Peter Mandelson, Polly Mackenzie and Daniel Finkelstein join Matt Chorley to discuss star power, and who could be the next Conservative leader - could the runners and riders include Michael Gove and even David Cameron?
