Joining A Local Women's Circle 1:13:35

7d 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…

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

4d 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…

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…

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

25d 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…

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 …

1M ago58:54

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?!

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. In the words of Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins, "Ain't nobody got time for that". What we do have for you however is a coupla best bits! …

Lymphatic Drainage Massage: As Good As TikTok Claims? 57:19

2M 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…

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

2M 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…

Aerial Yoga: Is Yoga Better With A Hammock? 57:41

2M 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…

Growing a Herb Garden: Worth Your Thyme? 1:10:24

1:10:24

We’ve all been there. You buy a basil plant thinking this will be the start of your brand new Herb Garden. A limitless supply of your favourite herbs from directly inside your kitchen. And then… it dies. And you think, “what in the actual f*ck is this?! I’ve been sold a lie!” But maybe growing a herb garden inside your kitchen, or on your windowsil…

Learning Sign Language Basics To Be A Better Human 57:48

3M ago57:48

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…

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

3M 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 …

Right, so we’re all for saving the world and everything. Looking up vegan recipes isn’t too difficult and vegan restaurants are very easy to find these days. But..

Face Yoga: The Key To Looking Younger? 1:01:04

4M 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 …

Buying a Fitness Tracker (Like the Whoop 4.0) 1:11:02

4M ago1:11:02

1:11:02

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. Garmin, Apple, Oura, Whoop - plenty of brands have created wearable fitness trackers to track more than just 10,000 steps a day. But are they worth the significant money you pay for them?…

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…

Laughter Yoga: Beneficial or Just Bizarre? Part 2 58:55

58:55

Time for the big reveal! Last week we talked about the weird and (hopefully) wonderful activity that is, Laughter Yoga. This week, we talk about how our experience of trying it went. To recap, this activity involves maintaining eye contact with strangers while you fake laugh. Which is actually how we recommend you listen to this podcast by the way.…

Laughter Yoga: Beneficial or Just Bizarre? Part 1 54:33

5M ago54:33

54:33

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…

If you’re the kind of person that isn’t usually clued in, here’s a quick recap: In last week’s episode, we discussed why anyone would bother with intermittent fasting - discussing things we talked about online, mixed in with the other usual bit of boll*cks we like to talk.

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

5M 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…

A plain and simple minisode while we're on our Christmas Holibobs. Good few things happened in 2023 and for your entertainment, we made up some questions about them to quiz each other on.

That time of the year again, when people say things like “Bah Humbug” and we all question why that was ever a phrase. But it’s also time… for our second ever Christmas Special! And you know what that means! Do we bother with trying a new activity?! Absolutely fuc*ing not! We cannot, and shall not, be ARSED! Instead, this is an episode of 100% pure …

Thrifted and Tested: What to Expect From Second-Hand Shopping 1:00:26

6M 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…

The Thrift Store Shopping Trend: Searching for Bargains (and Holiday Gifts?) 1:07:31

6M 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

7M 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…

Toy Time for Grown-Ups: Why More Adults Are Playing with Lego 1:04:52

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…

We Volunteered at an Animal Shelter. Here’s our Verdict! 1:04:58

7M ago1:04:58

1:04:58

Following up from our last episode, we popped into our local animal shelter over the last week to see what we could help with. Fully prepared to walk dogs, clean sh*t and possibly do a bit of in-house admin, what we really wanted to figure out were 4 things: 1. How much interaction do we get with the animals? (selfish, I know. But you were thinking…

Paws for Thought: Is Volunteering at an Animal Shelter Worthwhile? 1:09:21

7M ago1:09:21

1:09:21

Right, we know what you’re thinking. How can you really say, “Should I Bother Volunteering?” if you’re not a heartless pr*ck. Or in this case, Cruella De Vil. But let’s be honest, even though we know volunteering is a good thing to do, sometimes you don’t have a second to scratch your arse, never mind give time to anything else - especially somethi…

Urban Myths & Legends: A Halloween Special 58:25

8M ago58:25

58:25

It’s the spookiest night of the year! A night where we all love to pretend - that spirits exist, fireworks aren’t dangerous and that dressing up as a slutty nurse or nun is somewhat acceptable. This year we’ve decided on urban myths and legends as our Halloween theme. Basically a collection of spine-tingling stories and made-up nonsense that you ca…

Bit of Sh*te Talk Never Harmed Anyone 1:02:56

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I just can’t be fu*kin bothered this week”? Rhetorical question. Of course you have! And, guess what? We’re no different. With our Halloween Special around the corner, we put our 2-episode format to the side and decided to talk a bit of rot this week. We’ve got games (“Get to know Steph in one single breath”), lu…

The Post-Crochet Review: Better than Knitting? 56:41

8M ago56:41

56:41

Right, quick recap: Steph bought a crochet pattern set on Amazon, used YouTube to learn how to crochet and then proceeded to make a frog as the pattern suggested. Although she’s never been good at following instructions (just a defiant, "born to be wild", all-round tough bi*ch) she does have a history of being good at knitting (check out episode 38…

What it’s like to use Ancestry.com. Is it worth the money? 59:07

9M ago59:07

59:07

Following up from last week’s episode, we took the last 7 days to actually try using Ancestry.com and see if it’s worth the bother at all. Hopes are high going into something like this, thinking you might be related to a famous criminal or soldier. Maybe there’d even be some royalty sprinkled in there! A 2-week free trial means you don’t have to sp…

Ever wanted to know what other di*kheads might emerge if you look high enough up your family tree? With Ancestry.com, now you can! The fancy word for this practice is “genealogy”. It doesn’t have to include di*kheads, per se, but given you typically have over 1000 relatives across 10 generations, there’s bound to be a few in there, statistically sp…

Having “attempted” to learn different languages in school (French, German, Irish) for 6-14 years and being left with diddly-squat (diddly-kniebeuge for our German speakers) it’s hard to not assume you’re just generally sh*te at learning languages. It’s not until you’re older and have money to travel that you realise just how useful it would have be…

1:00:24

Following up from last week’s episode, this week we talk about what it’s like to actually visit an elephant sanctuary and roam among these big fat mammals. What’s that? Stop fat-shaming the elephants? It’s because they’re big-boned? Yea, alright.. good one. Pretty much expecting a one-species zoo, we spent half a day at the Elephant Nature Park in …

We’ve all seen it. Someone putting up that mandatory selfie with an elephant after their “once in a lifetime trip” around South East Asia. Maybe you thought to yourself, “That’s as basic as it gets”, or “Thread lightly around that trunk fu**face, you might get squished”. But you probably also wondered… What’s it like to stand so close to the bigges…
