Should I Bother?

We're guessing everyone else is in the same boat, but hands up if you've ever came across a #grateful post on social media. Put your other hand up if you rolled your eyes and continued scrolling. Okay, hopefully someone will look at you now with two hands in the air and wonder what you're doing. Tell them you'd be grateful if they'd stare at someone else. We realised this week that we're actually...

It's an activity that goes by many, many names - Floatation therapy, sensory deprivation tanks, isolation tanks, float cabins, sensory attenuation tanks.. and thats not even the full list! But what are they really ? And why do the likes of Steph Curry, Joe Rogan and Tom Brady swear by them?? In this episode, we talk about some of the benefits and BIG claims that we found while surfing the World Wi...

If you’ve ever been to a beach - which, we're guessing you might have - you’ve most likely tried snorkelling before. But, have you ever been in an exotic location where you can see really , colourful fish? The kind you’ve only ever seen in your rich friend’s aquarium (damn you and your rich parents, Billy 😠). Well, we hadn’t either. Booking a snorkelling excursion through one of those “tourist tr...

When we put the question, “What should we bother trying next?” to our audience over Instagram (@shouldibotherpod), we were EXTREMELY grateful to get so much input! Mucho love, compadres ❤️  As expected, suggestions were mixed: from scuba diving to ghost-busting to.. counting to five every time someone asks you a question? What an eclectic bunch of listeners you all are!  We discuss our f...

Dancing - it's not everyone's cup of pico de gallo. It's maybe a bit more like marmite - you either love it or hate it. As a couple on either end of that spectrum, we decided to take on a suggestion from our audience and attend a salsa class! With Steph acting the proverbial, "giddy goat" in anticipation, would our findings of Salsa being a hunting ground for the single male ring true? And how muc...

Burn over 1000 calories per hour!! The best stand up fighting style across all martial arts!! An integral part of many MMA fighting styles!! And... the potential to suffer a serious injury, including, but not limited to, brain trauma ? Welllll, sign us up! We're in Thailand at the moment, so of course, it'd be rude not to try out their national sport. And with MMA becoming more and more popular th...

For something that's all about finding peace and calmness, meditation is a bit of a stress-inducing, in-your-face activity these days. "Success gurus", apps.. that influencer you love to hate. They all praise meditation as being THE integral habit of a successful lifestyle. But is it worth all the bloody fuss? Can 10 minutes a day of "finding your inner zen" really have that big of an impact? Most...

We're cringing, oh so very hard at ourselves. But our plan was to stop "living for the weekend" and finally find a hobby we both enjoy. That hobby, is now a podcast, about trying different hobbies! (Or basically anything we hear people talking about, or saying you "should" try). The plan? Try them all! And see if they really are worth all the bother of getting up out of our comfy seats to actually...
