What's The Go?

This week on What’s The Go?, Olan and Ibby return for round two of conspiracy chaos, this time diving into AI, aliens, and what would actually happen if something not-from-here made it to Earth.From government cover-ups and UFO sightings to whether AI is already decoding signals we shouldn’t be hearing, the boys spiral into the big questions nobody has answers for but everyone’s definitely got an opinion on.They debate first contact etiquette, whether aliens would even bother with humans, and if we’d recognise intelligence beyond our own bias or just label it another internet hoax.One thing’s for sure: if aliens did land tomorrow, we’d probably argue about the rules before we even asked what they want.

How do relationships end up with so many rules that nobody ever actually agrees to?This week on What’s The Go?, Olan and Ibby unpack the unwritten relationship handbook and the expectations couples somehow develop along the way.From phone etiquette and response times to whether you're expected to react to every photo, answer messages across multiple apps, call whenever you get a spare moment, and provide regular life updates, the boys debate where being a good partner ends and being on call 24/7 begins.They also dive into some of the rules women seem to operate by, including the age-old tradition of sending a selfie to your partner for approval before it ever sees Instagram, and why certain relationship habits seem universal no matter who you're dating.Along the way, Olan and Ibby share stories, disagreements, and a few uncomfortable truths about the little things couples do that can cause far more drama than they probably should.

This week on What’s The Go?, Olan and Ibby dive headfirst into Europe szn, airport etiquette, and the absolute horrors of plane travel.The boys unpack the unspoken rules of flying, from seat recliners and aisle blockers to people who somehow forget how boarding works the second they enter an airport.

This week’s Sunday Special, Olan and Ibby dive into the world of non-sexual turn-ons… the random little things people do that somehow make them instantly more attractive without anything romantic even happening.From confidence and good manners to passion, competence, and oddly specific habits, the boys unpack why certain behaviours stand out so much and why attraction is often less about looks than people think. Why does someone being calm under pressure feel attractive? Why is being genuinely interested in something such a green flag? And why do the smallest details stick with us the most?Olan and Ibby also react to fan submissions, debate which non-sexual turn-ons are actually valid, and expose some of the strangely specific things people can’t help but find attractive.As always, expect chaotic takes, oversharing, and a few moments that probably reveal too much about both of them._______________Instagram: / whatsthegopodcast_ TikTok: / whatsthegopodAPPEARANCES:Olan Tekkers / olantekkers Ibby Akbar / ibby_a

This week on What’s The Go?, Olan and Ibby somehow turn months of the year into a full-blown argument, proving once again that no topic is too stupid to debate seriously.The boys kick things off with some subtle racism chat, cultural confusion, and Olan battling for his life trying to explain his relationship with calendars, dates, and basic human organisation.From there, the conversation shifts into “What’s the go with your partner’s family?” as they unpack the pressure of meeting the parents, weird family dynamics, and the awkward balancing act of trying to impress people who are silently judging you from the moment you walk through the door.Things only get worse when they discuss introducing a partner to your own family, sharing stories about overprotective relatives, embarrassing parents, and the fear that one family dinner could completely end a relationship before it even starts.To wrap things up, the boys read out fan-submitted stories that prove meeting the family is either the beginning of forever… or the start of a disaster.

This week’s Sunday special Olan and Ibby are diving headfirst into the world of awkward situations… the ones we all try to forget but somehow relive in our heads at 3am.From painful silences and wrong-name introductions to overthinking texts that were never that deep, they unpack why awkward moments hit so hard and why our brains refuse to let them go. Are these moments actually as embarrassing as they feel, or are we just overanalysing everything in real time?Olan and Ibby break down the psychology behind social awkwardness, how we respond under pressure, and why everyone seems far more focused on their own awkwardness than yours.
