Should I Bother?

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 are interested in it according to the subreddit, r/candlemaking. While the latter (r/WatchPaintDry) only has 210 members. Maybe that’s all the validation one could need. Regardless, we’re committed. We’ve got the kit and we’ll be discussing what supplies are needed, how to make your own candle, and whether this is the perfect hobby to bother with during the Winter months. P.S. If you truly can’t be arsed making a candle, this local Irish business makes 100% natural, sustainable ones, so you don’t have to: https://flower-child.ie/Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing?

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 the test really? Are you actually going to discover things about who you are that you weren’t aware of? Does it help you change as a person, or succeed in your career? Or is this just another horoscope-type thing we love to indulge in? If you’re new here, we take this episode to answer those questions, try the test for ourselves and see if it’s worth the bother doing. If you’re not, then you knew that already (and thanks for being here again xoxo)Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing? We’d love your review!

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!)All of that bollo*ks aside, what do you do if you want to stop the unnecessary killing of every houseplant you ever had the notion of purchasing? You get a plant app of course! Do you pay for it? NO. Not a fu*king chance. If you were that invested in plant care, you wouldn’t be killing them in the first place! So the objective of this episode is: find the best free plant care app and see if it’s actually worth the bother of using. We also have a bit of a chat about dendrophiles (people who want their houseplants to be more than just “friends”) and some of the weirdest apps on the App Store (need a way to remember every place you’ve ever taken a sh*t?)Now, press play with that green thumb of yours and let us know what you think. Liked this episode or have a suggestion for something we should bother doing?

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?

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?
