Should I Bother?

How much true crime do you consume on a weekly basis? Because statistics would show there’s a 50% chance you consume at least some.  You twisted little pup xxx But who could blame you. “Making a murderer”, “Dont F**k with Cats”, “Tiger King”. All unbelievable documentaries in a genre that continues to grow.  But what happens when you consume a little too much?  Does it have a negati...

Have you ever been tempted to buy a weighted blanket? Maybe you’ve been living under a weighted rock and never heard of them. If so, the hint is in the name. They’re just regular blankets, but heavier. “But how would you even clean a weighted blanket?” you might wonder. There's good reason you don’t wash your dumbbells in the washing machine.  “And what are the benefits of these blankets? Imp...

For between 1-2 million people, witchcraft isn’t just something that’s passively joked about at Halloween. It’s their religion.  Mic, fu*king, drop.  They’ve got dedicated witchcraft brooms and cauldrons and if you google, “witchcraft shop near me”, you’ll very likely find a place that sells all their supplies. I know what you’re thinking: “wtf is going on? SO many questions!!”  But...

What is Energy Healing? Well, have you heard of Reiki?  Ok. It’s not that. But it’s kind of in the same realm as that? I think. In the same way apples and pears belong in the same fruit bowl.  Not purposely trying to be confusing here, but even after trying this, we’re still struggling to explain it - what it is, how it helps, if you should bother with it?! In this episode, we speak to R...

Easiest way to make your own candles at home?  Get yourself a candle making kit, obviously… did you not just read the title?? Evenings keep getting shorter, colder and darker. So what better activity to try than making your own candles!  Definitely very practical, given the time of year. But is it as exciting as watching paint dry? At least 78,000 are interested in it according to the su...

Nasal strips: essentially plasters for your schnoz that help you breathe better. Simple enough. Athletes use them when running. Snotty people use them for congestion. Snorers use them to shut the fck up at night and stop disturbing everyone else.  So if you’re an athletic, snotty snorer, you’ve hit the jackpot!  You know what question we’re gonna ask though. Should you really bother usin...

We’re guessing you know what the Myers Briggs Personality test is? Don’t feel bad if you don’t, but with over 2 million people taking the test a year - for work or otherwise - there’s bound to have been at least one, telling you all about their “type indicator” and who they are as a person without being prompted?  Annoying? Very.  But how valid is the test really? Are you actually going...

Not exactly a question of morality, is it. Because if it was a crime to murder a houseplant, wouldn’t most of us be locked up?  Also, does anyone really intend to “murder” it in the first place? More likely to be called “plantslaughter” than anything else (Note: You won’t find this is the Oxford Dictionary, but Urban dictionary has got it covered!) All of that bollo*ks aside, what do you do i...

As the second largest search engine in the world, YouTube has paid out over $70 billion to its creators in the last 3 years. How much of that went to people making cat videos? Think about it! Unfortunately, that’s not something we’re able to answer in this episode, but we do discuss things like:  Whether or not it’s too late to get started with a YouTube Channel, What are the channels with th...

Weird fact: 30% of IKEA customers go there for the Food Court alone. That’s nearly one in three, driving to this big yellow and blue warehouse, not for some flat packed desk or Billy Bookcase. For a plate of small Swedish meatballs! Which begs the question: what the F is in those meatballs?? And why do they draw a crowd to a furniture brand?  If you’ve been to an IKEA - probably dragged there...

Look, the title doesn’t even matter anymore. We’re talking Vince McMahon, Beekeepers and Buffalo Mozzarella.  It’s basically deciding if you should bother with things we wouldn’t get a full episode out of. Don’t overthink it xox Listen to the full episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/should-you-wwe-111092067?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_c...

You know the hat we’re talking about. That little squashed down top hat?  Think you could pull it off? And can he even pull it off? Sometimes I just wish he would.  Take it off altogether and show us that crown of yours.  Like, what’s actually under the hat Jason?! Show us will ya, for f*ck sake. Why are you always wearing a hat!

He doesn’t have to be a 10/10.  You marry him because he wouldn’t be the only sweet treat you’d have access to. At any time, day or night. Think about it lads! Fu*kin T...

It's our first ever Patreon episode! Currently a bit of filler while we're on our holliers. And what better to discuss the goats, kebabs and marching bands? With the potential to each be as enjoyable as the next. Also, can you guess what they all have in common? Thats right. Fuck*n zero.

Did you know there are 200 period tracking apps that are available on app stores today?  Why so many? Because maybe they’re something you should bother with? And that's exactly what we’re here to figure out!  What you maybe didn’t already know:  Men get periods too (yes girls, we are out to steal your fu*kin thunder) People tracked their periods using bones in the past (not their ow...

So, mushroom coffee is a thing these days - mainly thanks to those Nordic fellas from 4 Sigmatic, which you may have heard of?  What’s next? Coffee mixed with butter?!  Oh, wait…  Future episode, maybe.  Let’s stick with the mushroom one for now.  When it comes to mushroom coffee, your question is probably the same one we had: what’s the fu*kin point in this? Why ruin one...

If you’ve heard of the Caminito Del Rey - or seen people posting about it on Instagram - you’ve probably heard the “most dangerous walkway” claim along with it.  The word people forget to include however is, “former”. Do you really think we’d be doing this otherwise?? Not a fuckin… HOPE! Since the walkway got refurbished in 2015 and pretty much baby-proofed ( you must be 8 years of age and th...

“Candlelight concert” - sounds fancy, intimate and an all-round pleasant evening out, doesn’t it? Perfect date night perhaps?  If you’re one of the many millions of people that’s been targeted by their ads since 2019, you can also confirm that that’s exactly what it looks like!  Hosted in over 100 countries across the globe, a quick “candlelight concert near me” google and you’re sure to...

Is it just us or does the word “diet” trigger a tiny voice in your head that whispers, “Fu*k.. Off” every time you hear it? But maybe the Mediterranean Diet is different? Not quite a “diet” in the traditional sense and it’s sure to include Italian food - how bad can that be?!  Going into this week’s pod naively expecting plenty of pizza and pasta, we decided to try out the Mediterranean Diet....

If you’ve never heard of them, you’re probably wondering, “what are morning pages?” Common sense would say you probably already have a fair idea. Pages… that you do… in the morning? Exactly! And that’s how Julia Cameron, author of the bestseller, “The Artist’s Way” and creator of this lil’ journaling technique, describes them too. What? You’ve never heard of her either?? Look, that’s ok. Remember,...

Have you ever googled “Kickboxing classes near me” only to imagine what it’d be like to actually receive a kick or punch to the head and ultimately turn yourself off the idea?  If so, you’re in luck! In this episode, we’re going to try a class for you and report back so you know exactly what to expect. No bruises, no black eyes. You won’t even need to break a sweat!  Just put your headph...

What is a women’s circle? Obviously the name paints a picture in itself (a group of women around a fire singing Kumbayah for one) but what’s actually involved?  If you were to take a guess, there’s likely some discussion around commonalities within the group (i.e. “girl stuff”) and that kind of vulnerability in front of strangers can go one of two ways - it remains as uncomfortable as it soun...

Let’s be honest. If you enjoy a glass of wine, isn’t this the perfect excuse to have one early in the day, completely shame free?! Other than drinking the ends of leftover drinks in the early hours, we’ve never been to a wine tasting before.  What’s the typical wine tasting attire? What are wine tasting notes? Is there particular wine tasting etiquette we need to follow? And what’s the story...

Survival of the fittest? Not if you’re one of the very few out there with basic survival skills and tools. Then, even if the world ends, you can be as fat and slow as you like! This week, we’re prepping for future emergencies and heading to our local survival training camp to brush up on our severe lack of survival skills and knowledge. Can we light a fire without a lighter? No. Catch prey or fora...

We’re in Spain at the moment and since we’ve only tried one form of dancing on this podcast to date, why not step into one of Spain’s many stereotypes while we’re here - Flamenco dancing! (Bullfighting is in the works, we promise!) Here’s what to expect from this episode:  We talk about the history and origin of flamenco (unsurprising to most - it has zero to do with Flamingos) We discuss wha...
