We explore one of the biggest questions in modern relationships: do opposites actually attract, or is long-term love built on similarity dressed up as compromise? From vegan and omnivore dynamics to Conservative and Labour worldviews, and even the clash between feminist thinking and alpha male ideology, we break down where difference adds depth and where it starts to quietly test a relationship’s foundations. Along the way, we ask whether holding onto your identity means you’re incompatible—or just honest about what you need. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we look at a study that flips a common dating belief on its head and reveals what actually seems to be true about what holds couples together. Whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a simple but powerful finding about relationships that might say more about compatibility than any difference ever could.Chapters(02:49) – Can a Vegan and an Omnivore Actually Make It Work?(11:05) – Can a Conservative/Republican and a Labour/Democrat Supporter Really Make It Work?(20:08) – Can a Feminist and an Alpha Male Live Happily Ever After?(27:15) – When Does Compromise Become Self-Betrayal?(28:09) – Scott's WTF of the Week: 89% Alike?

We somehow found ourselves on a streak of the strangest films and TV shows imaginable, so we decided to lean in and unpack the ones that left us confused, unsettled, or quietly obsessed. From greasy serial killers and severed memories to awkward hockey romances and films that feel more like fever dreams than narratives, we talk about why certain stories stick with you long after the credits roll, and the most uncomfortable themes we’ve ever watched play out on screen. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a jaw-dropping feat that made our palms sweat just talking about it, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shines a light on the brilliant minds quietly reshaping the future of sustainability in a way that feels genuinely hopeful.Chapters(04:00) – Severance TV Show Review(11:44) – Saltburn Movie Review(17:15) – Heated Rivalry TV Show Review(18:27) – The Greasy Strangler Movie Review(20:58) – Schalcken the Painter Movie Review(23:21) – Synecdoche, New York Movie Review(25:53) – Requiem for a Dream Movie Review(28:25) – Old Boy Movie Review(32:12) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: Alex Honnold Scales Taipei 101 Without Ropes(35:30) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Solar, Reimagined: Bright Minds Pushing It Into the Future Scott's WTF of the Week🧗‍♂️ Alex Honnold Scales Taipei 101 Without Ropes🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://news.sky.com/story/climber-alex-honnold-scales-taipei-101-skyscraper-without-ropes-13498734Shelby’s Good Vibes Only☀️ Solar, Reimagined: Bright Minds Pushing It Into the Future🔗 https://www.positive.news/environment/solar-reimagined-meet-the-bright-minds-pushing-it-into-the-future/Recommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧The Real-Life Poltergeist That Drove My Family Out of Our Home!

We recap Scott’s year of running marathons across seven countries—12 races in 12 months—and share why he took on the challenge, how it felt on the road, the lessons he learned, and the moments that pushed him to the limit. From his most memorable runs to the toughest and even a few dangerously close calls. Scott also reveals the next big goal on the horizon, and it’s one that will push him further than ever before. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we dive into a story so absurd it proves truth is stranger than fiction, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” highlights a medical breakthrough that could change lives in ways you wouldn’t expect.Chapters(01:58) – 12 Marathons in 12 Months (05:50) – Why Did Scott Run 12 Marathons in 12 Months(17:10) – Best and Worst Run of The Year(31:50) – Crazy Things That Happened on Scott’s Runs (33:35) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: 86-Year-Old Fined $335 for Littering After Spitting Out a Leaf(36:44) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Cancer-Fighting Cells Engineered Inside Patients’ Bodies for the First TimeScott's WTF of the Week🍂 86-Year-Old Fined $335 for Littering After Spitting Out a Leaf 📅 Tuesday 16th December 2025🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nypost.com/2025/12/16/world-news/86-year-old-fined-335-for-littering-after-spitting-out-leaf-that-blew-into-his-mouth/Shelby’s Good Vibes Only🧬 Cancer-Fighting Cells Engineered Inside Patients’ Bodies for the First Time 📅 Thursday 18th December 2025🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/cancer-fighting-cells-engineered-inside-patients-bodies-rather-than-laboratory-for-the-first-time/Recommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.⁠🎧 EP49 | Scott’s 70 Mile Ultra, Trailor Swift Life & Rafael Nadal's Farwell | Yalla Habibi Podcast🎧 EP3 | Mysterious Number 4, Bird Vomit, Best Airport Hack & Ultra Goals | Couples Podcast---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?

We talk New Year’s Eve through the different chapters of life, from teenage wildness to twenties wildness excess and the very different energy of your thirties, and what celebrating actually means as priorities shift. We look back at last year’s resolutions, whether we stuck to them, what this year’s intentions really are, and what’s about to land in Shelby’s annual letter. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a viral moment involving a very intoxicated animal takes a turn nobody saw coming, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reminds us how paying attention to the small routines and familiar faces around you can quite literally save a life.Chapters(03:25) – Scott and Shelby Share How They Celebrate New Years Through the Ages: Teens, Twenties, Thirties(17:05) – Our 2026 Resolutions & Did We Actually Stick to 2025’s?(25:04) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: ‘Trashed Panda’ Story Raises $180,000 for Animal Shelter(27:26) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: He Ate at the Same Restaurant Every Day — When He Didn’t Show Up, the Chef Went LookingScott's WTF of the Week🐼 ‘Trashed Panda’ Story Raises $180,000 for Animal Shelter📅 Wednesday 17th December 2025🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/trashed-panda-story-raises-180000-for-animal-shelter-that-discovered-it-drunk-in-the-bathroom/Shelby’s Good Vibes Only🍽️ He Ate at the Same Restaurant Every Day — When He Didn’t Show Up, the Chef Went Looking 📅 Monday 15th December 2025🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/5990/He-Ate-At-The-Same-Restaurant-Every-Day-When-He-Didn-t-Show-Up-The-Chef-Went-LookingRecommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.🎧EP28 | 2025 Resolutions, Travel Plans and Surviving Christmas Stress | Couples Podcast---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?
