Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'

Keep It Light Media / Travesty Media

Life’s A Beach sees Alan giving Judith Chalmers and Michael Palin a run for their money as he invites a famous guest each week to discuss their favourite places in the world. Bursting with anecdotes, laidback chat and laugh out loud travel tales - if this podcast was a suitcase you’d have to sit on it. “My Life’s A Beach podcast is the escapism we ALL need right now. I sat down and chatted with some of my famous friends about everything travel. From caravanning in Rhyl to private jetting to the Maldives, my guests spill the beans on their holiday horrors and dream destinations. Let’s face it: we might not have the sun on our faces, but after a listen to this you’ll definitely have a smile” – ALAN CARR

    S10 EP3: Pete Wicks & Sam Thompson (Video Edition)

    Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks fly Alan Air and things unravel fast. They tell Alan what they’re really like on holiday (airport dad energy versus filming absolutely everything), relive a Vegas trip where Sam genuinely thought Pete had died, and tell us about Sam's unnecessary toilet-related voice note. There are childhood holidays, dodgy dating stories, celebrity sightings, Pete’s habit of feeding stray dogs abroad, and we dive into their new book Staying Relevant. Add pirate nicknames, matching tattoos, reality TV confessions and a quick-fire round that fully descends into chaos - and you’ve got one of the funniest Life’s a Beach episodes yet.  00:00 Intro 01:25 Pete and Sam’s travel styles airport dad vs filming everything 02:05 How Sam likes to embarrass Pete on flights 02:55 Sam’s smelly toilet voice note 05:55 Vegas trip chaos and thinking Pete had died 07:00 Carer burnout and a Pete Netflix documentary 07:55 Childhood holidays caravans vs luxury 08:45 Alan’s caravan story 10:25 Sam’s Club Med holidays and his underwater first kiss 11:15 Eye patch stories and Pete’s pirate nickname 12:50 Pete’s new rescue dog 14:45 Pete’s the pied piper of mange feeding stray dogs on holiday 15:45 Sam’s dating disasters 16:30 Celebs Go Dating and Rob Beckett 17:55 Staying Relevant the book the illustrations and brutal honesty 18:55 Sam and Pete’s tattoos of each other 20:40 Celebrities spotted on flights and holidays 21:10 Sam and The Beib 23:00 Reality TV they would and wouldn’t do 24:15 Race Across the World and Hunted ambitions 25:45 Coach Trip and chaotic travel memories 26:20 The infamous briefcase explained 27:45 Sam invites Alan to Christmas Pete continues to swerve it 28:25 Where they want to be at 100 years old 30:30 Quick fire travel questions 32:15 Final chaos and sign off  #LifesABeach #AlanCarr #SamThompson #PeteWicks #StayingRelevant #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #TravelPodcast #RealityTV #VegasStories #CelebrityPodcast #HolidayChaos #QuickFire Learn more about your ad choices.
