Should I Bother?

Gary Gillick & Stephanie Byrne

There’s a million things you “should” be doing, but can you be bothered? 🤔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 goal? See if they really are worth all the bother of getting up out of our comfy seats to actually try.We"ll test them and discuss as many as possible, so you can stay put in aforementioned,

What do the CEO of Apple, Xerox and General Electric all have in common? ... They're the first people out on a lawn at 5am, on their hands and knees, catching worms, while the rest of us are sleeping soundly in bed at stupid o'clock.On this week's episode, we decided to take a leaf from their books of success. Not by crawling around a garden in the early hours, but by actually being awake and active before 6 in the morning. Time to feel like less of a useless slob. Hip Hip!With some die hard dawn

Cooking Class

Another listener's suggestion, ticked off the list! (Pssst... you'll hear the rest in EP 4 🤫) This week - following Steph's short bout of Typhoid #survivor #salmonellawho? - we took to a cooking class in Bali, Indonesia. After a quick, "cooking classes near me" search and zero expectations, we were actually both looking forward to it. Not something we can say for every episode! Even if Steph's cooking ability is one level above toasting a slice of bread, with an actual chef present while we cook,

Trying Surfing as a Beginner: Our Take on if it’s...

2022/06/14

Completely lacking in both blond hair and tanned skin, surfing is not something either of us were accustomed to. So we took to surfing lessons to really understand why these "cool surfer dudes" love to hang loose all the time.For anyone that can surf, gliding on top of a wave looks so effortless, so could it be that hard? Considering some dogs can even do it... As one of the most popular water sports in the world, we suspect this is something you should bother doing. But would we fall into the

Rise & Grind, bitches!In this week's episode we dive into the world of the side hustles. You know, those second jobs that people like to do on top of their existing jobs?We chat about what they are and why every Rick, Ross (thats a hidden reference; bonus points if you get it) and Harry loves working themselves to the bloody bone these days.As we discuss some of the umpteeeeen examples that we found online - such as people who've created blogs about side hustles, which then became their side

Dearest gentle reader, settle in for what promises to be a lively discussion regarding the ton & its antics this season (it's a reference from the show; if you don't get it, don't you worry your pretty little head about it.)Are you one of the millions of people that watched Bridgerton when it was first released at the end of 2020, or are you - like Gary - only catching up now?If you're the latter, hopefully this episode will help you make your decision on whether it's worth 8 hours of your time

Gratitude vs. Negativity: Is it worth practising...

2022/05/24

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 waayy more cynical than we thought! There's a lot of studies out there saying gratitude - like meditation

2022/05/17

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 Wide Web (cowabunga! 🤙 ) to truly understand, how a big puddle of salt could be so damn good for your

Snorkeling Tours: Are They All They're Cracked Up to Be?

2022/05/10

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 trap” companies was also a first for us and surprisingly... it didn’t go quite as swimmingly (yes, intended

Salsa Classes Without Any Experience: Our Honest Review

Should I Bother? ·

2022/04/26

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 much of a walk in the park can Salsa classes be? Particularly, for those with two left feet (Gary).If you've

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.

Finding Zen: Is Daily Meditation Worth Your Time?

Should I Bother? ·

2022/04/12

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 importantly, should you bother your hole trying to find consistency in yet, another, thing??In this
