    Love love love!
    I’ve been binging the podcast/occasional video for the past few days and I’m obsessed. I always crave British “media”, especially when I get super homesick as I’m now in the states, and this podcast never fails to make me laugh. So much so, when I’m rocking my son to sleep I’m trying so hard to not wake him as I’m failing at stifling a laugh. Love the dynamic between the two, and I love listening to Pete especially, such a funny guy.
  • Lia MM.
    An Absolute Must-Listen! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    This is the MOST entertaining podcast on the market! Sam and Pete are such a dynamic duo — it’s refreshing to see two friends in the entertainment industry be their most authentic selves. It’s amazing to see how successful the podcast has become 🙏

    Cannot Stop Laughing
    Absolutely addicted! Every episode is more hilarious than the last. The energy between Sam and Pete is the best! Love from the US ❤️
  • Sibsie
    Top pod
    Being in my 50s and living in America I’m probs far outside of their target demo but I’m hooked. Sam brings his Labrador puppy energy tempered by Pete’s cynicism. I’m an expat so watch English telly and loved Sam on I’m a Celeb. I’d never watched TOWIE but love Pete on the pod despite not being able to pick him out in a police lineup. I’ll defo be watching him on Strictly and his dogumentary when it comes out.
  • Herganian
    Like listening to two good friends…
    I’m from the states & started listening to you after returning from a lengthy trip to the UK (where I got my rescue dog life saving surgery not offered here in US—I know Pete is animal lover). You both are the perfect blend of funny, witty, & interesting. You make everyone feel like they’re in on the joke & part of the conversation. It’s like listening to two old friends or mates, shall I say. You bring us all in and we walk away after each episode lighter and happier. There was that series in the US called “chicken soup for the soul” You guys are “fish and chips for the heart”…sorry I had to! I am rolling my eyes at my own joke. But seriously, you both are great! And btw, my dog Blanche is doing well since surgery. We love the UK.
  • moonixa
    Hilarious pair
    The contrast between these two’s personalities are chef’s kiss* Love tuning in. If I listen to the podcast in public people think I’m crazy laughing to myself. Thanks for being hilarious and being authentically yourselves! Listening from Los Angeles. 😉😏💕 Best wishes and looking forward to what the future holds for you both.✨
  • Jmart1325
    Obsessed
    During Covid -in between teaching first grade online and making tiktoks, I found 25 seasons of TOWIE and an affinity for Pirate Pete and all things British reality😂 fell in love with the pair of you when I came across the fart spray prank video and I’ve followed ever since. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 that Sam’s dream of a US take over happens. I’ll be waiting in Texas! And if not, can we at least get access to the merch?!? Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face every “Monday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday.”No matter how bad the day might be, I know I’m guaranteed a laugh with y’all.🫶🏻 Best Podcast ever! - Jenny in Texas
  • dublin30
    Absolutely love u two
    I live in NYC, driving to work or dare I say listening at work. I have these crazy outbursts of laughter. Pete u are such a funny guy love how u treat your little brother Sam dare I say adorable. Keep up the great job of staying relevant. I tell everyone about u. Good luck with the live shows. A must listen podcast.
  • Tiina’s
    Team Pete!
    Pete I agree you shouldn’t be abused for doing all the work and being passionate about your live tour! Left up to Sam it wouldn’t exist or would be off the rails in 2 mins. Might still be off the rails in 2 in mins but at least you will be hands-free wearing your “Britney”. Seriously you two make doing my most boring tasks at work just a slight bit less painful. Except Sam is still shouting which is painful.
  • JaninaCalifornia
    I’m an American
    Who discovered you both through Celebs go dating. The series where you two first met. To make a long story short, during lock down, I discovered Love Island. I became obsessed w British reality tv. Once I finished all of Love Island UK I searched for more British shows, and found CGD. I started following each of you, and began watching both Towie and MIC. And well, here we are! I love feeling like I have a secret Gem w all my British reality shows! This podcast is amazing and hysterical! I am always so happy to listen and love that you’ve added more! You two make me laugh and you’re the perfect duo! I would absolutely love to attend a live show some day! Sam dreams of making it to the US and I’m here cheering you both on! Love from California!

    Losers choice
    Biggest bunch of sore losers. Had to make an entire episode ranting about how the British podcast awards were rigged. If they would have spent that time listening to Redhanded instead they would see why they won.
  • pugcrzy
    Laugh till you fart FUNNY!!!!
    Oh my gosh you guys are hilarious and making me laugh from the other side of the pond! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep laughing and farting 😂♥️
  • aha4183
    Hilarious
    New favourite podcast, now going back and binge listening all, no guests needed - the dynamic is hilarious enough and genuinely makes me smile. Longer episodes please!
  • Katelynn0023
    Absolutely hilarious
    Love this podcast! Love Pete from the Towie days! Always my fav. Definitely his demographic 😂 Love Sam from Love Island! These two together are hilarious! Sam, this podcast has gone global- I’m from the USA! Much love you two!
  • Emster80
    Look forward to it each week!
    Was introduced to Pete and Sam via the tv shows they were on, and was thrilled to find they had a podcast. Love their banter, and they seem like really good guys.

    They say no one listens, but for 2 months on this is great. They will take off - a hilarious duo.
  • caitlinmoconnor
    Love from Chicago
    Can’t wait for series 2! Love from Chicago!
  • London🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧Trish
    Come for the banter - stay for the laughs! 😂
    Love the pod! Your self-deprecating humor makes my day! I find myself truly giggling out loud during the show; hate when they end! You don’t need guests lads - could listen to Pete roasting Sam all day. You’re both great sports. Much love, Trish from Philadephia 🇺🇸
  • Tel woz ere
    Brilliant!!
    I love you two so, so much! I knew when I saw the advertisement for this podcast that it was going to be a right laugh, you did not disappoint! Come back soon, you both are a ray of sunshine. Terrieann xx
  • vartanlvr
    So Entertaining
    I wish there were more episodes to binge! Definitely help with my commute to and from work! I just can’t figure out how to watch the recordings of the podcasts.
  • larry12344
    Original concept
    Love this show because it's brutally honest and funny. They don't take themselves tooo serious which is a breath of fresh air these days. Give it a listen!
  • PDMama
