[Headlights flashing in the dark; what could it mean? Just a lost driver, or perhaps a lonely soul looking for something more?] Is what might happen if you went dogging in one of England's green and pleasant lay-bys. We're joined by truly the only person we would EVER want to cover dogging with, Bryan Quinby of Guys: A Podcast About Guys, an expert on all matters swinging and sex guys. Or, in this case, sex blokes? Plus, Conker News AGAIN?!

Who's this Guy then? Is probably what they said when they found the bloke with all the gunpowder under Parliament, and how amusing that would have been, due to what his name was. We're joined by our streamer friend Ricky Peacock to talk chicken "burgers," comedy college, and Conker News, before we figure out whether Bonfire Night is good or bad or maybe even racist, somehow. Plus, Charlotte did the game! What's Charlotte's game? You'll have to listen to find out—and you could even WATCH to find out on the Watch All This Then tier of the Patreon!

OooOOO how'd 'e do that then! Is what you'd say if you were watching Derren Brown make a guy think he really wants a sausage roll or whatever. It's our first All In-Person episode! We recorded an episode in an actual bloody room together with our first return main feed guest, Slowpuke, to discuss Britain's greatest magician and the absolute mentalist, Derren Brown. Plus, we taste-test some proper Cadbury versus some of the Hershey's version, and we put our Derren-esque skills to the test in our game.

Connect! Is what I would be saying, beaming and placid, with jam around my mouth, if I was mistakenly placed on an Only Connect team. We're talking about Da Smart People Show For Brits with Josh Boerman, host of the Worst Of All Possible Worlds and Ill Conceived, who also has opinions about Irn Bru and whether British people are worse to work with than Americans. Plus, more controversy at silly sports with the stone skimming championships, and Charlotte does a Charlotte-themed Charlotte's Game, which is rather appropriate, don't you think?

That's Quite Interesting! Is what you would say if you turned on BBC One at 10pm on a Saturday, I think, in like 2005. We're joined by Justin McElroy, the outrageously prolific host of My Brother, My Brother and Me, The Adventure Zone, and Sawbones, to discuss panel shows, Christmas puddings, a Target wot fell off a hill, and what the King's Remembrancer does. Plus, Charlotte's Game is in fact many panel show-style games within a game; how clever is that?!

Oughhhhgurhhhh chocolate mmm oghhh I need it I'm on my period and I need chocolate. Is what I'd be saying if I was eating a Crunchie instead of writing this god damn podcast description! We're joined by Gareth Reynolds, host of Next We Have and The Dollop and another Real Life Brit (who is also American) to discuss the vast and wonderful world of British chocolate, from Maltesers to Mini Eggs. Actually we didn't talk about Mini Eggs but those things are so good. Plus, ferret legging (we do NOT endorse this practice) and another Charlotte's American Youtubers Trying British Foods Game.

I have a cunning plan! Is what YOU should be saying about your great idea to listen to this podcast. We're joined by the one and only Hayes Davenport, host of Hollywood Handbook, to discuss the classic British comedy Blackadder. Plus: Hayes reads us some incisive class analysis from a 1930s edition of Punch; Charlotte makes us watch a bit of gravy wrestling; and we compare horrid traditions at clubs from Harvard and Oxford in one of the meanest editions of Libby's Game yet. (I also tried sooo hard on the graphic design for that one, which is another great reason to sign up for the Watch All This Then tier!)

Pip pip! Is what we'd say to you if we were posh, which we're NOT. Not like these guys, anyway. Today we learn all about Posh People (Upper Class) with the wonderful Meagan Hatcher-Mays, Libby's Longtime Friend and the host of Text Me Back, incompletely tackling questions such as: What is with all the tweed? Do posh people think of themselves as posh? And why do they sound like that? Plus, Tesco's Birthday Cake Sandwich, and Libby runs a game of Posh or Tosh.

Start the fans! Is what we'd say if we were hosting the Crystal Maze, and it's what I'm also asking you to do—bear with me here—because I want you to START being FANS of this show. Yeah I think I pretty much nailed that. Our guest is the one and only Howell Dawdy, who wrote and performed our theme song and the fantastic album I Need Some Help, hosts an unmissable Twitch stream, and has two podcasts of his own—sort of making the rest of us look bad? We discuss the classic 90s game show The Crystal Maze, plus Shakespeare (smart), the Asda Price Promise Stones, and driving on the wrong side of the road.

Want to SEE the titular crystals and unnecessarily expansive sets of the Crystal Maze? Sign up to our video tier today! You'll get this and all future AND previous video episodes (which includes next week's Finest, where we watch a whole episode of the Crystal Maze)!

Hmm I don't like the look of these birds let's lop their heads off—is what Henry VIII would say if he stumbled across What's All This Then. Maybe. Or maybe he'd want to marry us! That guy LOVED marrying ladies! On today's episode we do some proper history with comedian Dana Bell, our FIRST in-person guest, with whom we discuss a wife-carrying contest, Bovril, and of course, Henry VIII (except mostly we talk about Wolf Hall oouuhh it's so good). Plus, we play a little smash or pass with some fit Tudor blokes.

Waheyyy! Go on! Get in! Other laddish phrases and indistinct but broadly positive-sounding noises! That's probably what some proper mental lads would say about this episode. We're joined by the absolute legend Jon Gabrus, host of Stayin' Alive and Action Boyz and an actual real-life rugby lad, to decide whether the lads are alright. Plus, we're the last people on Earth to learn about the Jet 2 Holidays meme.

I get knocked down! But I stay down! I wanna have a little nap! Is what I would be saying if I was writing Chumbawamba’s biggest hit, and I suppose it wouldn’t have done as well. Today we’re joined by actor, writer and comedian Phil Jamesson to discuss Chumbawamba, plus how fencing works, and why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had their name changed in Britain. P.S. Here is the playlist with the tracks from the tape my mum had as mentioned on the show. It’s really good!

Boooo! Is basically the entirety of what we have to say about the Daily Mail. We're joined by David Roth, a writer at Defector (and a bloody good one if you ask me) and co-host of the podcast The Distraction, to talk Popeyes, drinking beer from the river and Libby's disastrous Oxford interview. Plus, we learn why British lawyers wear those wigs, and Libby STUNS her NICE GUEST with her HORRIBLE Daily Mail headline game. Read and subscribe to Defector, because sites like it are the only way media's ever going to be good again!

Mmmm, mushy! Is what you'd be saying if you were trying the green goo that Brits apparently love. Or do they??? Based on a survey of two podcast-hosting British birds, the answer is: Yep, we do. We're joined by Twitch streamer and proper good bloke HCJustin, a recent convert to the Church of the Mushy Pea, to make the case for a food that honestly does look like Yoda barfed. Plus, the Willaston World Worm-Charming Championships and Libby's most devilishly cruel game yet.

Groovy, baby! Is what Austin Powers would say about this shagadelic trio of smashing birds. We're joined by comedian and cartoonist Katy Fishell to answer the questions you've all been asking: Just how realistic is Austin Powers? Do we all talk/look/shag like that? Do we even say 'shag?' Plus, we examine the world's largest Scotch egg (how DO they make those) and play a bit of a terrible 1999 Austin Powers PC trivia game.

Crackers! Is what Wallace would probably say is his second-favorite food, and it's what he'd say about this episode too, because it's a great one! We're joined by Matt Apodaca, host of Get Played and son-in-law to a real-life Englishman, to talk Wallace and Gromit, our beloved Plasticine pals. Plus, Matt teaches us about the ancient British tradition of "first-foot," and a Jaffa Cake controversy.

Crrrrunch! Is what you'd say if you were eating some lovely crisps, or maybe listening to the 1960s advertising hit When It Comes To The Crunch by Smiths Crisps. Don't worry, we get into it—with our great friend and new producer Patrick Gill! A talented streamer and Smart Video Guy, Pat is the reason you can watch VIDEO of this episode (available only on the Watch All This Then tier) and the only guy with whom we'd want to mindlessly list British crisp flavors for an hour. Plus, the Hackney Mole Man, and—what's this? CHARLOTTE'S game? How delightfully outrageous!

Many have you have bean asking when we'd start releasing video, and you have your answer: It's today! With the Mr. Bean episode! You can watch just this first one for FREE on YouTube to see our friend Tom Walker—the wonderful comedian, streamer, and co-host of the Great Australian Bake Off—join us to discuss the singular magic of Mr. Bean. Plus, a fake historical game called dwile flonking, and Libby's Game.

Mind the gap! Is what we’d tell you if we were at Holborn or whatever right now, but we’re not. (Maybe you are, though? Send us an email if you read this description at Holborn.) We discuss the iconic London Underground with David Sims, of the podcast Blank Check and The Atlantic—but you could also say he’s from the “other side” of the Atlantic due to he grew up in Britain! Wow! Plus, we learn that many Americans are not quite sure if Britain marks July 4th in any way, and many British people are very annoying about that.

'Nother round mate? Is what we'd be saying if we were at Wetherspoons. Instead we are on the computer, talking to our wonderful friend Luke Taylor, who has chosen to be known as "The Lukeman" on Twitch. We discuss the decline of the supermarket cafe, which only Libby cares about, and decide "whether Spoons" is good or bad. I mean, obviously it's bad, but it's interesting when we talk about why. I assume.
