Episode 16 - Alice Kirker & Katie Longbottom

Sam and Bailey FINALLY get their first guests on What's All This Then! This week, the boys are joined by actress and theatre practitioner, Alice Kirker (@alicemaykirker), and her best friend, fellow theatre practitioner and comedian, Katie Longbottom (@katie_longbo). The two join the podcast to talk about their upcoming show, CAKE BABY, which is making it's premiere run at the Basement Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand on March 2nd-6th 2021 (Tickets available: https://basementtheatre.co.nz/whats-...

Episode 15 - Is WandaVision Actually Good?

Bailey and Sam talk for the first time in two weeks! So, as you can imagine, it is absolutely unlistenable. Chats about WandaVision actually dropping a bombshell onto the MCU gets legitimate interest from both, as much as they wish it didn't, with jokes galore as always.

Episode 14 - A Little Town Called Riverdale

In another relaxed episode of What's All This Then, the boys catch up on all things they might have missed. The UK is still in lockdown, so there's really not much going on there, and Bailey's life is boring so this truly is thrilling listening! The boys have another sponsor to share with you all, before heading straight into the McGregor/Poirier fight. Then they step into the world of The CW Network's hit show Riverdale and wonder how anyone really operates in there at all. Happy listening!...

Episode 13 - The OJ Simpson Incident

In another pretty stripped back edition of What's All This Then, the boys bond over a lovely flowing conversation whilst Bailey makes his breakfast! They discuss their favourite foods, their shared love (and shared history) of breakfast burritos, as well as a not-so-deep dissection of the fact OJ Simpson still just knocks around in LA. Plus, would William Shakespeare survive watching Avengers: Endgame?

Episode 12 - What Marvel Movie Would You Make?

DISCLAIMER: The audio overlaps at points the further the show goes on, which is an error with recording from opposite sides of the world. What do you expect, huh? Ah, hello dear listeners! Sam and Bailey sat down to record a normal episode of What's All This Then, and for about half an hour they really tried! The boys have a sponsor to read out for the second week in a row (01:15), before cracking straight into some testy questions about what it would be like if they ever lived together! (09:36)...

Episode 11 - 2021 Special Extravaganza!

With the disappointment of the year that was 2020, the boys have decided to kick off 2021 with nothing but positive vibes so they've treated you to an episode of the podcast! Maintaining a friendship from opposite ends of the world can be tough, but this catchup is something to behold. The boys discuss what they did for New Years (in the very different New Zealand and UK) and their favourite memories from New Year's gone by, plus some of their very favourite memories from their college days. Eve...

Episode 10 - That Doesn't Even Look Like Batman

Just like Troy and Chad in High School Musical 3, the boys are BACK! After a month-long hiatus, Bailey and Sam return for a classic episode of What's All This Then. The trash has been taken out and the bin is ready to be filled again, while they both answer some of YOUR most interesting talking points. This one's basically just a catch-up because we haven't actually talked since we last recorded.

Episode 9 - Gucci Pink

The audio's back to a passable quality this week which means Sam and Bailey get SILLY! Expect impressions of Michael Parkinson throughout, while Sam and Bailey revisit some of their favourite adolescent memories, and Bailey tries to figure out what Sam's getting him for his birthday this year. Sam also rants about what he hates about Marvel movies (specifically Infinity War and Endgame), while Bailey reveals some VERY exciting news regarding his career. PLUS, the boys debut a new segment all aro...

Episode 8 - The One With Zac Efron

Are Sam and Bailey getting too comfortable with this platform for their creativity? We may never truly be able to tell. What we can tell, however, is that this episode is filled with a lovely description of the movie of their lives, of Bailey's ideal life partner (spoiler: it's not Sam), a fantastic discussion about the upcoming New Zealand election, and the Bin gets ever fuller with suggestions of pure debauchery. Plus, the show is joined by a very special, if unexpected, guest. DISCLAIMER: Aud...

Episode 7 - Never Knew You Had a Hugh Grant In You

This train rolls on into a new week filled with fun, laughs, and copious unemployment. Bailey had travelled to attend Maoriland Film Festival, and so treats us to a story about a quirky Englishman he met there. Sam, meanwhile, ran into not one but TWO(!) celebrities in London this week. And, as always, the bin gets ever fuller with stuff, things, and unnecessary life happenstances. Maybe it'll overflow one of these days. DISCLAIMER: The connection this week wasn't as consistent as some of the ot...

Episode 6 - Poodles

Get yourselves ready for the most vile episode yet. The boys went into this week's recording with the highest hopes possible and - as it so often does - the entire thing just degenerates. Content warning for literally every single bodily fluid you can imagine. PLUS, the Bin gets its juiciest addition yet and Sam loses his goddamn mind.

Sep 21, 20201 hr 7 minSeason 1Ep. 6

Episode 5 - Bumble Bumble Miss American Crumble

Sam and Bailey are back for another round of trying to keep their dying friendship alive. In this one, Bailey exposes one of the many questionable decisions he's made recently, the boys continue the discussion of the incomparable Cobra Kai, and a load more refuse sacks get taken outside and dumped in the ever-growing Bin. DISCLAIMER: This week's audio is temperamental. Some cut-offs, Sam's mic apparently just wasn't working well, and Bailey usually doesn't sound that nasal. Usually.

Sep 14, 20201 hr 9 minSeason 1Ep. 5

Episode 4 - Wax On, Fuck Off

The boys are seemingly getting the hang of it now, which is fantastic news for their 14 listeners. The boys kick this week off by discussing what they hate about each other, before moving onto who's more attractive, before Sam spends approximately 12 minutes waxing lyrical about his love of The Karate Kid franchise. And, as always, the bin gets fuller and fuller with all kinds of awful things that have happened the world over this week.

Episode 3 - Bailey's Birthday Bonanza Part XXII

Bailey spends the morning of his 22nd birthday doing exactly what he loves - making jokes alone into a microphone in the basement of his Aunt and Uncle's house. Sam eventually joins him to discuss whether one of them is more invested in the friendship (Spoilers: one of them would never record on his birthday), whether 10am is too early to do practically anything, and the masterpiece that is Pixar's 2006 classic, Cars. Oh and, as always, numerous foul, disgusting concepts get tossed lazily in The...

Episode 2 - Riddle Me This, Chris Eubank

Two episodes in and it's all falling apart. Sam and Bailey give a masterclass in the virtues of preparation as they challenge each other on their friendship and talk about some of their most treasured memories. They discuss all sorts, from the differences in the UK and NZ Covid responses and why Sam physically cannot drink Coca Cola.

Episode 1 - Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters

Two childhood best friends situated on opposite ends of the globe decide to commit to weekly catchups and, in their infinite vanity, have decided to record them. This week the boys discuss holidays, the racial impact of the baguette and whether or not they would have sex near their siblings.
