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 these days (with constant reminders when abroad: "yes we're from Ireland.. yes, Conor McGregor, we know"), we thought let's give this a go.

The benefits are the same as is expected of any fighting sport - self-defence, great exercise, feel like you're more of a badass than you actually are. But we wanted to know, what makes Muay Thai stand out? And is it something we'd consider taking on as a full-time hobby?

Broken ribs here we come!

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 episode, we discuss Steph's experience of exactly that. Two weeks of consistent meditation. No blood, no sweat, no tears. Just meditation. Simple! The goal as always - to understand should we bother doing this at all.

P.S. Headspace (the app) features quite heavily, so if you're not a user, we apologise in advance. But even if you're not, don't worry about it! You can get through this. We believe in you xx

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 try.

Who are we? Gary and Steph - a 30 year old Irish couple, in a long term relationship, that still know f*ck all about what we actually enjoy doing in life. So maybe you'd call this a "quarter-life crisis" type of project?

Give us your thoughts and most of all, tell us what you can or can't be arsed trying. We'll test them out, so you can stay put in aforementioned, "comfy seat".
