8 - Extreme Ironing

We here at TTTB have never been big fans of ironing our clothes. Now that we know about extreme ironing, though, things might be different for us. Extreme ironing is the act of taking your clothes, an iron, and an ironing board to extreme places and giving them a good press. What counts as extreme places? How about mountain tops, underwater, or in the sky while skydiving. There are no limits to extreme ironing just like there are no limits to the places we will go to find to most obscure sports around the world.

7 - Worm Charming

Get ready to get your hands dirty as this week I sat down with Matthew Howard and Emma Masaitis to discuss Worm Charming. Starting as a method for retrieving worms from the soil for fishing, in the 1980s worming charming evolved into a competitive sport as well. The techniques for this artform are endless and the worms in the soil.

5 - Toe Wrestling

Have you ever gotten so angry at someone you were beyond punching? Do we have a solution for you. Angrily ask them to take their shoes and socks off, interlock your toes together, and battle them for all the glory in toe wrestling. Similar to arm wrestling but smellier and sweatier, toe wrestling is another favorite British pastime that started in a pub. Head over and follow us on Instagram and TikTok @tttbpod to see the video from this one, you won't want to miss it. Watch the pros compete [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLBQpsQ8zQU]

4 - Red Bull Flugtag

Red Bull Flugtag is like if you dared your really smart but underachieving friend and his 4 other unemployed engineer buddies to build a human powered flying machine and see how far it could fly. Teams of five work tirelessly to build a human powered flying machine and push it off a 30 foot drop over water in Red Bull Flugtag in order to win the respect of everyone around the world. There is no cash reward, there is no trophy, just the pride of knowing your machine flew for at least one millisecond and the hope of possibly beating the world record distance set by the Chicken Whisperers. Join me with this week's guest, Lauren Pallas, as we discuss this wonderful wacky sport and all of its glory.
