What's All This Then?

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-on/2021/3/cake-baby). On top of this, the two duos interact and discuss not only their friendships, but friendships as a concept, sharing some delightful memories from over the years and revelling in how similar their friendships are. They also get into what it's like being best friends who are creatives, and what the creative process teaches them about each other, as well as how it allows their friendships to develop. Happy listening!

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.

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!

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?

If you're listening to this then GREAT JOB, both Sam and Bailey have a lot of time for you. In this week's much more relaxed episode - because they both forgot to ask for submissions again - Sam and Bailey have an easy breezy morning chat as Bailey makes his breakfast. They discuss OJ Simpson's legacy (spoilers: it's not good), their favourite foods, their shared love of breakfast burritos, before discussing whether William Shakespeare would be able to make it to the end of Avengers: Endgame without dying. Happy listening!

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) 'How was your week?' brings about some thrilling discussion of the ins and outs of Borat 2: Subsequent Moviefilm (21:46), before chucking another load of shit into the bin means Sam gets to wax lyrical about Riverdale but it's Bailey that brings up Cobra Kai this week! (26:17) After this, the boys ended up having a legitimate conversation for probably the first time on the show, about the thing that first brought them together: the Marvel Cinematic Universe and comic books in general. (34:53) If there's any episode you want to listen to, it's probably this one.

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. Everybody's favourite segment - Get in the Bin! - is back once again as 2020 gets the old dustbin treatment, plus an old What's All This Then topic - The Karate Kid - gets revisited. Sponsored show.

Welcome to 2021 everybody!

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.

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 around gossip from YOUR lives! You won't wanna miss this one!

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: Audio problems galore in this one. For some reason the record overlaid a lot of the two's audio tracks, so interruptions are everywhere. Bailey seems to be unusually quiet and Sam unusually loud also. Promise we'll get to the bottom of it in coming weeks.
