Should You Bother Obsessing Over True Crime Content? 59:24

4d ago59:24

59:24

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…

Should You Bother Buying a Weighted Blanket? 1:05:14

11d ago1:05:14

1:05:14

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 …

Should You Bother Learning Witchcraft? 1:12:47

18d ago1:12:47

1:12:47

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 go…

Should You Bother Trying Energy Healing? 1:11:14

25d ago1:11:14

1:11:14

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 wi…

Should You Bother Making Candles at Home Using a Candle Making Kit? 1:05:32

1M ago1:05:32

1:05:32

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 ar…

Should You Bother Using Nasal Strips for a Better Night’s Sleep? 1:00:38

1M ago1:00:38

1:00:38

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…

Should You Bother Doing the Myers Briggs Personality Test? 1:08:31

2M ago1:08:31

1:08:31

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 th…

1
Should You Bother Keeping Houseplants Alive With a Free Plant App? 59:03

2M ago59:03

59:03

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!) …

1
Should You Bother Starting a YouTube Channel to Make Money? 1:01:34

2M ago1:01:34

1:01:34

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 Yo…

Should You Bother Eating At The IKEA Food Court? (Without Buying Furniture) 56:17

2M ago56:17

56:17

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…

4M ago57:19

57:19

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…

Should You Bother Hiking "The World’s Most Dangerous Walkway" (El Caminito Del Rey, Spain) 1:05:19

4M ago1:05:19

1:05:19

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…

Should You Bother Attending A Candlelight Concert (Hosted By Fever) 1:06:33

4M ago1:06:33

1:06:33

“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 conc…

Should You Bother with The Mediterranean Diet (for weight loss + longevity) 1:05:06

5M ago1:05:06

1:05:06

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, w…

Should You Bother using Morning Pages to Boost your Creativity 55:19

5M ago55:19

55:19

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 neve…

Should You Bother Joining A Local Women's Circle 1:13:35

5M ago1:13:35

1:13:35

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 w…

Should You Bother Wine Tasting At A Vineyard (AKA “Fancy Day Drinking”) 57:35

6M ago57:35

57:35

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 etique…

Should You Bother Learning Flamenco Dancing in Spain 1:01:01

6M ago1:01:01

1:01:01

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 h…

Should You Bother Learning The Ukulele As A Complete Beginner (At A Ukulele Pub Session) 57:15

6M ago57:15

57:15

We strongly believe that somewhere, over the rainbow, there lives a Jason Mraz lookalike that desperately wants to learn the Ukulele. And although we’d love to beat him, this week we’re actually gonna join him! First question to address - is the Ukulele just a small guitar?? One quick glance would say yes? There’s less strings, so does that mean le…

Should You Bother with Pilates: What Is It And Why Try It? 53:22

53:22

What is Pilates? You’ve heard it on TV. You’ve seen it on signs.

Today we’re pulling on our pilates socks and discussing everything we can find online about …

EP100: Lessons & Learnings From Trying 99 Activities 58:54

7M ago58:54

58:54

We’ve spent the last 2 years trying a new hobby, sport, health trend or tiktok sensation, week-in, week-out to discover what’s worth bothering with or not. Where the F**K did that time go?! And after trying 99 of them, we feel we might actually have some lessons to share! So, we asked our audience what they’d like to know most and spent this episod…

Look lads, it's a very short intermission in our typical SIB schedule. We've got family visiting for a week, so that meant trying a new activity, recording the pod, editing and releasing had to take the backseat.

Should You Bother with a Lymphatic Drainage Massage: As Good As TikTok Claims? 57:19

7M ago57:19

57:19

For something that’s all about moving waste products from the body, lymphatic drainage massage does trigger the internal “could this be a load of sh*te” alarm. Like most TikTok wellness trends, it comes with bold promises and dramatic before and afters. And with influencers and celebrities on board using this to get “red carpet ready”, of course th…

Should You Bother Reaching 10,000 Steps A Day: Do You Really Need To? 1:08:49

8M ago1:08:49

1:08:49

10,000 steps a day has become this magic number in recent years that, if achieved, you can consider yourself healthier. Handy! But have you ever wondered - how many miles does that even equate to? 10,000 sounds like a f**k load. And where do you find the time?! Also, if it’s all about helping you be healthier, how many calories can you expect to bu…

Should You Bother with Aerial Yoga: Is Yoga Better With A Hammock? 57:41

8M ago57:41

57:41

I’ll be the first to say it. I had no idea aerial yoga was even a thing! Performing yoga poses, 3 feet off the ground in a hammock. First thoughts are: is there any need? Second thoughts of course: Should people bother with this? Is it that different to regular mat yoga? Something we also tried on the pod nearly 2 years ago, so at least we can comp…

57:48

Over 72 million people in the world use sign language to communicate every day. Although, billions have used sign language at some point - if you count giving someone the middle finger. Outside of that though, what other sign language do you know? Do you know the sign language for please, or help? Could you use them in a full sentence such as, “Ple…

Should You Bother Taking Magnesium as a Sleep Supplement: The Ultimate Sleep Hack? 1:06:08

9M ago1:06:08

1:06:08

I’m guessing we’ve all had a stint of shite sleeps in our lives. And the majority of us have used at least one sleep aid or sleep supplement at some stage or another.. But which did you opt for? Over the counter sleeping tablets? Melatonin? Some sleepy or chamomile tea? One option doing the rounds on social media these days is using magnesium as a …

Should You Bother Trying Face Yoga: The Key To Looking Younger? 1:01:04

9M ago1:01:04

1:01:04

Here’s one you might not have heard about. More like a massage than actual yoga, Face Yoga experts - like Koko Hayashi, for any Shark Tank fans out there - claim that 10 minutes of this a day is the key to looking younger. The question floating around the Should I Bother studio, however, is - are they talking out their hoop? (for our international …

Remember when everyone and their Mam’s had a fitbit? Well that was the beginning of the fitness tracker craze, almost 20 years ago. And it’s come along way since.

9M ago32:53

32:53

Has it crossed your mind at all that it’s been 20 weeks since we first started to “Learn Spanish”?? Yes - the inverted commas were intended and will give you a hint into exactly how it went. Maybe if you were here you’d say, ¿Qué pasó? With the same passion and shock as your favourite telenovela character. And then we’d respond with, “What the f**k…

Our newest addition of “most bizarre things to try on the pod”, is laughter yoga. Doesn’t sound so bad, does it? Everyone likes to laugh! Well what if we said this involves forcing yourself to pretend to laugh, in a room full of strangers, while maintaining eye contact with them? Now what do you think? In spite of this, laughter yoga sessions are b…

Intermittent Fasting: Why Is It So Popular? 57:13

10M ago57:13

57:13

The inevitable happened again. We all ate too much over Christmas and now we’re looking for ways to reduce the consistent bloat. Well, have you thought about just skipping breakfast and eating less? Because that’s pretty much what Intermittent Fasting is (if you do the 16/8 method). Unless you’re a hardcore breakfast lover, on paper it sounds prett…

Should You Bother Thrifting: What to Expect From Second-Hand Shopping 1:00:26

11M ago1:00:26

1:00:26

We spent the last week channelling our inner bargain hunters, visiting flea markets and skulking around charity shops. The objective - to try and determine if one man’s trash truly is another man’s treasure. On the hunt for some homeware, clothes and potentially Christmas gifts, we were curious. Would this convert us from full-time first-hand shopp…

Should You Bother Thrifting: Searching for Bargains (and Holiday Gifts?) 1:07:31

12M ago1:07:31

1:07:31

Thrifting - the act of rummaging through second-hand goods, delights and piles of sh*te to find a bargain on some item that you may or may not need. Unless you’re Gen-Z - or a big fan of bargain hunters - there’s a high probability that this isn’t something you’ve done very often, or maybe.. ever. But as the world makes more stuff every year and we…

One Lego Set Later: Should You Bother with Lego as an Adult? 52:56

12M ago52:56

52:56

Fast forward 7 days from our last episode and we’ve bought a lego set on Amazon and slowly assembled it, piece by piece. The most surprising thing: there was an 18+ age label on the side of the box! So Lego really can be specifically for adults! But have you ever wondered what that could be like? For most of us, lego usually resulted in some shi*ty…

Should You Bother with Lego: Toy Time for Grown-Ups 1:04:52

12M ago1:04:52

1:04:52

Before we even talk about lego for adults, just go on and say it…. “Why don’t we just grow up?” Fine. Yes, I know. But all the other grown ups are doing it! Or so we have read. Personally, neither Steph nor I can name a single friend that claims Lego as their hobby. But maybe there’s more of them than you think? Shamefully interlocking blocks behin…
