Should I Bother?

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. 

Hope you enjoy xoxo

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 being hosted all around the world every week. We’re going to try it and figure out why.

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.

On this week’s episode, we’re talking about our experience following 5 short days of actually trying it for ourselves. 

Spoiler! One of us found it more difficult than the other, but you probably suspected that with all the giving out Steph did in Part 1. 

If Intermittent Fasting is something you’ve always heard about but never bothered your hole trying, listen into this one to make a semi-informed decision for yourself, you lazy bean.

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 pretty easy - eat less calories by restricting the times at which you eat - but what’s it like in practice? What about the H-ANGER?!

Like, have you ever heard anyone say, “Yea I was pretty much a cranky pri*k because I was hungry all the time” after they tried it? I haven’t. But is it wrong to be suspicious of that?

This week, we’re looking into all the research behind why anyone would bother with Intermittent Fasting, talking our usual sh*te throughout with a very loosely related game at the end. Next week we’ll talk about our experience (and if we can confirm  the “cranky pri*k suspicion”).

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.

Basically just an excuse to chat a little bit more shi*e before the year is out!

Other than that, have a great New Years :)

We'll be back with our regular schedule on January 9th.

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 sh*te talk and games, all while slurping down some cocktails and occasional pauses for Steph’s wheezy laugh.

Expect a dramatic reading, some irrelevant news and a rendition of Frosty the Conman, among other Christmas bits and baubles.

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 shoppers to second-hand fanatics? And amongst all the inevitable piles of sh*te being sold (not literally; reign in that naivety) how easy would it be to find what we were looking for?

You’re sure to get stuff cheap. There’s an immediate win. But is it enough to overlook the potential frustrations or disappointments as your patience runs thin? 

If you're a thrift shopping virgin and wondering the same, fear not. All of these questions are answered for you, by us, in this very episode (what are the chances?!)

So sit back, continue to online shop - or whatever you're supposed to be up to - and we’ll help you decide, “is Thrifting something I should bother with?”

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’re all constantly reminded that it’s slowly burning down, doesn’t it make more sense for us to shop second-hand?

Aside from the sustainable angle and those sweet sweet savings, there is also the chance of stumbling across something unique - maybe even a Christmas gift or two? 

This week, being a pair of big thrifting virgins, we’re discussing everything we can find on thirfting - the best items to buy, tips for effective thrift shopping, the impact of fast fashion on the world - and mainly try to figure out, why do people bother with it at all!

There’s also a sh*te game thrown in (aptly called, “Have you Sniffed that Thrift?!”) 

So if any of that sounds interesting, or you think Thrifting might be the solution to your big Christmas bill this year, have a listen.

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, multi-coloured, random assembly of blocks when we were younger. Then you’d tear it down, step on it by accident, bubble with rage and not play with it for a few days. 

But what’s it like to take it seriously, spending hours assembling something complex. It’s got a hefty price tag - is it worth hundreds of that cash you burst your arse to make each week? 

And when it’s all done, are you filled with pride? Or left feeling like a big man child, having spent hours with a toy instead of acting like a “grown up”.

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 behind closed doors at home, hoping not to be discovered for the “Kidult” that they are.

Contrary to that, there is also ‘Lego Masters’ - an international reality TV show where Lego enthusiasts (AKA, AFOLs - Adult Fans of Lego) compete to create different designs.

It’s like the “Bake-Off of Lego”. And living proof that there are many adults out there, who fuc*ing love a birra Lego. Wha?!

As per usual, in this episode, we’re addressing the “why would you bother with this” side of things, with a little bit of research behind Lego for Adults, along with a bullsh*t game thrown in for good measure.

Whether this is something you should bother doing is something we’ll address next week, when we’ve had a chance to play around with Lego and knock each other’s blocks off.

So listen in and let us know what you think, you big child.
