Should I Bother? Podcast

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, "comfy seat"!

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

    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 questioned if you can get those sweet little balls delivered right to your door for a cheap, dine-in meal by the telly with the spouse on a Friday night.   Well let me tell you two things:  If you’ve wondered that specifically, your marriage needs help.If you want the answer to those last 2 questions and more, listen to this episode.   Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing?

    Should You Bother Using A Period Tracking App (Not Just for the Girls!)

    Did you know there are 200 period tracking apps that are available on app stores today?  Why so many? Because maybe they’re something you should bother with? And that's exactly what we’re here to figure out!  What you maybe didn’t already know:  Men get periods too (yes girls, we are out to steal your fu*kin thunder)People tracked their periods using bones in the past (not their own bones)In France, “the little clown with the bleeding nose” is a term used to describe menstruation (the female one; men don't bleed down there.. usually!) What's the point in saying all that? Just a teaser of the kind of sh*te we talk about on this week's episode. We also discuss useful things though, like the best period tracking apps - especially those that don’t share your data - and which of those are free or subscription based. Coming up next week - we're on our summer holidays! (said in our best yorkshire impressions). We'll be back in September and don't worry. There'll still be some Patreon content. So stay tuned, little clown xx Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? We’d love your review! Want to get in contact?

    Should You Bother with Mushroom Coffee? Discussing Taste, Benefits, Side Effects & Reviews.

    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 this? Why ruin one of life’s little pleasures by mixing it with a fungus??  Usually the answer comes back to health benefits or weight loss or something, so we assumed this was the same. Another important question: will it taste like shit? Or mushrooms? That’s probably more likely. Otherwise it’d just be called, “sh*t coffee”, coffee made from sh*t - which is also a thing!  So many coffee variants, so little… actually, let’s be honest, plenty of time to try them all. But, if you’ve heard of mushroom coffee and can’t be arsed paying a premium for a potential bag of dirt, take 57 mins to listen to this and we’ll let you know if it’s something you should bother with, or not.  Want to try the same coffee we did?

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

    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-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 a cliff face 100 metres above a gorge, we’re guessing there’s been a few soiled pairs of underwear. The exact number, we’re unsure of (apparently the tourist attraction doesn’t keep track of those kinds of records). What we can promise, however, is there’s a high chance of at least 2 soiled pairs after we’ve tried it.  Listen in for that potential s****y reveal and to know if this is worth bothering with the trip to El Churro in southern Spain to try it for yourself.  Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing?
