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,

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 xxxBut who could blame you. “Making a murderer”, “Dont F**k with Cats”, “Tiger King”.

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? Improved sleep? Anything else? Would they not be fu*kin roastin?”We wondered the same things. So we bought one of

2024/10/29

For between 1-2 million people, witchcraft isn’t just something that’s passively joked about at Halloween.

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 Renu Arora, Energy Healer and creator of the Accelerated Release Technique.

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 subreddit, r/candlemaking. While the latter (r/WatchPaintDry) only has 210 members.Maybe that’s all the validation one

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.

2024/10/01

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 to discover things about who you are that you weren’t aware of? Does it help you change as a person, or succeed in

2024/09/24

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 if you want to stop the unnecessary killing of every houseplant you ever had the notion of purchasing?You get a

2024/09/10

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 by some parent or other half - you’ve likely wondered, “how are these hot dogs so cheap?”You might have also

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 this tall and to ride) there have been no recorded deaths - that we know of.But, being a walkway that’s attached 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.
