DeepSummary
The episode begins with Pete and Sam addressing a complaint from a 14-year-old listener named Charlotte, who requests they do a podcast without swearing. They brush off the request, citing the explicit nature of their show. They then move on to discuss a listener's question about their experiences on the reality show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Pete and Sam provide behind-the-scenes details about the grueling challenges and intense directing staff on Celebrity SAS. They reveal that what is shown on TV is only a fraction of the actual challenges, which can last hours. They praise the directing staff, describing them as both intimidating and supportive.
Towards the end, Pete does an impression of his "sexy outro voice" from the podcast, as requested by the listener. The two banter about reading the outro from the script, which Sam admits he needs to do more often to avoid forgetting lines.
