Being buried alive is absolutely one of the scariest ideas going. After researching this topic, Jess was awake the whole night with the fear of Callum mistaking her for dead the next morning and burying her straight away. The only thing that settled her was knowing she had the research done, so she knew how to do her best at trying to survive being buried alive.For any chats or queries, give us a shout at whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com!  SocialInstagram: @whatwouldyoudoifpodcastTwitter: @whatwouldyoupodThis show is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network.

Can't imagine a scarier creature to be around.If you've ever worried about being alone around a bear, or seen that episode of Riverdale and gone "what on earth would I do," then this week, the podcast is for you!

Can you imagine anything worse than getting death threats? The fear it must put into you.

Heatwave season is upon us (apparently) and it's scorching out. With Callum's favourite phrase being "Ah, I'm melting," it makes sense that this week we'd talk about what to do if you're melting.  From heatwaves to heat stroke, we're going into everything that happens when it gets a bit too warm outside for our liking. What you should do goes way beyond the usual of drinking water and sitting under a fancy umbrella that'd knock you out if a gust of wind came along.

Thinking about getting a puppy? They’re demanding, time-consuming and expensive – but they’re also a lot of fun.

Imagine it's Freaky Friday. You've just woken up in someone else's body and you're not sure why. What would you do? This week, we're realising how different Callum and Jessica's morals are as we answer WWYDI you were in Freaky Friday. We even make a good attempt at answering what you should do in the situation, even though it's kind-of impossible to answer seeing as it's never really happened (or has it?). Side-note: Jessica was really disappointed that she never got to work in this story about Lindsay Lohan. Did you know, she recently started commenting on a Taylor Swift livestream where Taylor was trying to promote her upcoming album? Lohan left great comments like “We think you’re great!” and “My mom was in cats.” Iconic. Here's some links about all that VR headset stuff:  http://www.themachinetobeanother.org/?page_id=764 http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140427-i-swapped-bodies-with-someone Ever wanted to be disturbed? That's what our Instagram(@WhatWouldYouDoIfPodcast) is doing to our followers this week as we discover body-swapping. Our poll is up on Twitter (@WhatWouldYouPod) if you want to have your say. Who knows, Callum might even remember to read the results again next week! For those wanting to offer us all of those lucrative sponsorship deals, we're whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com.

We’re on the road and have arrived at London! What Would You Do If? is finding out exactly what you should do when you’re a tourist in England's capital. London is one of the places-to-be and we’ve got tips for tourists on things to do and how to save money on popular attractions. As always, Callum and Jess are complete opposites in what they want to do – you can imagine that all the fights were had as they decided how to spend a day in London. Website recommended by Jessica for vouchers for popular London attractions if you take the train: https://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/ If you want to see how we got on, we recorded the day on Insta (@WhatWouldYouDoIfPodcast) and Callum’s would you rather question for this week is on Twitter (@WhatWouldYouPod). You can send us feedback or episode suggestions on whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com (preferably you'd request an episode that takes us somewhere sunnier, like Fiji or Bali). Byeee!

If you're in school, you might be freaking out about what happens if you fail your exams. Realistically, you probably won't – but the worry is always there, init? Whether you're sitting your A-Levels, Leaving Cert, SATs or something else, it's always good to have a worst-case-scenario back-up plan in place in case your results aren't what you wanted. Seeing as Callum and Jessica are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum with their school experiences, they'll let you in on everything from how their exams went to how their results affected their futures. Jessica feels like she's the only one who's ever been in her situation with her results – which is probably accurate, tbh. So if you've ever wondered what you should do if you fail your exams (or even if you just get bad results), we've got it all figured out. Trust us, you'll be grand. Ever failed your exams? You can let us know what happened to you when you didn't pass on Twitter (@WhatWouldYouPod) and Instagram (@WhatWouldYouDoIfPodcast), or on whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com if you're the type of person to enjoy emails.

Open your mind to a future nearby and think – what would you do if chocolate was banned? Would you laugh, cry or even care? This week, Callum and Jessica are looking at how this disastrous movement would affect their lives and how they'd manage to cope without. They also look at chocolate that's banned from other countries – and let me tell you, some countries are crazy. You hear about food that's banned from other countries (especially the USA) but can you imagine if chocolate was made illegal? It's undeniably appalling to imagine, I know, but think about it. Jessica would cry, let's be real.  If you want to give your opinion on this weeks crazy Would You Rather, it's on our Twitter (@WhatWouldYouPod). We've Instagram too. You can see live footage of the moment everything goes wrong for Callum in the podcast on @WhatWouldYouDoIfPodcast. We're contactable by email for all of your chocolate-tasting offers (apparently that's a real job – you'd want a lot of compensation for the heart disease). It's whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com and feel free to send us long rants on what you'd do if chocolate was illegal. We'd love to hear something like that, or to even hear that someone reads this and Jessica isn't wasting her time writing descriptions for nobody. One can dream, I suppose... 

Ever thought about what you'd do if you had an STI? Maybe you've had one – or a ton – and know exactly what it's like and how you'd feel. Well, Callum and Jessica are covering everything from what the  to how an STI is treated.  An important note: STIs can cause infertility so it's important that you get tested regularly if you are having unprotected sex or if you have multiple partners.  Thanks to sexualwellbeing.ie for being super helpful and having all of the information.  We'd encourage you to tweet your STI-plagued friends and let them no there's no shame in getting an STI (as much as it's not ideal). Make sure to @ us in your tweets as we're on Twitter at @WhatWouldYouPod. If you want to see what Jessica comes up with after wracking her brains to figure out what Instagram content she could make about STIs, we're @WhatWouldYouDoIfPodcast. Also, our email address is whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com. Nobody ever emails us. I don't even know why I include it in the episode description anymore, tbh.

Ever thought what happens when you're in a bank robbery? Imagine you're queuing up at your bank, waiting to change your money into Spanish Euros and then suddenly a robber comes in. Black mask over their face, gun held out – what do you do? I'm not saying Callum and Jessica would be chill cucumbers in this situation, but they've done the research and they know what to do if you're in a bank when it's robbed. There's also some shocking statistics (get ready to use the gasping emoji) like how common hostage situations are and who's most likely to die!  Jessica has some info on how to successfully pull off a bank robbery, if you're in that way inclined (although we'd highly recommend you don't take this as advice and if you do attempt a bank robbery, we want to make it clear we are in no way liable for it's failure – but send us a few dollars to pay for the podcast hosting if it's successful because c'mon, we helped you out bro). Get ready because here's the truth about what happens if you're in a bank when it gets robbed (even at gunpoint) and exactly how to handle it. There's some laughs, there's no cries and there's a whole lot of learning going on. To vote for whether you'd rather be a bank robber or a hostage, the poll is on Twitter (@WhatWouldYouPod) and our Instagram exists with some sort of content about what to do if your bank is being robbed at and how to survive it at @WhatWouldYouDoIfPodcast. You can also email us because nobody ever does except for the website where we host the podcast, demanding money off us every month. Sick of it, so we are. It's scandalous. You'd almost have to rob a bank to be able to afford a podcast nowadays... Well actually, there's an idea. 

Have you ever been stood up? A lot of people have experiences with getting stood up on a first date – sometimes it might just be a once-off but maybe it happens to you a lot (poor you). Either way, there's no judgement here as we get into exactly what we would do if we got stood up. I'm Being Stood Up, Get Me Out Of Here  Welcome to the podcast episode where we're gonna go through exactly how to handle this awful situation as you go through practically every emotion out there. But come here, being stood up isn't the worst thing in the world so after these eighteen minutes are done with, you're allowed no more wallowing. You got stood up and now you have to deal with it.  Or maybe you haven't been stood up but you're a bit low on confidence and think it's bound to happen to you at some point where you're gonna be chilling in a coffee shop, Googling "I just got stood up, what do I do?" Look, don't bother going to the big G, we've got the answers for you right here. We'll even broach the topic of whether to text the person after they stood you up (get ready for drama). Ireland's Next Top Dressing Gown Model  If you want to vote for who wears the fluffy pink dressing gown better, you can vote on our Instagram (@WhatWouldYouDoIfPodcast) and the poll for our would you rather is up on Twitter (@WhatWouldYouPod)! As promised by Uncle Callum, you can give him a shout if you need a shoulder to cry on. It doesn't even have to be about your failed attempts to fill the void in your heart (although theme-mails are appreciated). Feel free to send him (and certainly not Jessica) your long, dreary emails about whatever's got you down to whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com.

If you had the chance to star in a reality TV show, what would you do? Callum and Jessica are looking at how they’d handle being on a bunch of TV shows, from auditioning for Ireland’s Got Talent to competing in My Kitchen Rules. The Truth About Reality TV Reality TV is no doubt tough on the contestants so we’re looking at how to get on a reality show, along with how to deal with the aftermath of finding fame (or for the less popular stars, fading into the hall of mediocrity). Jess also found a TV show that we’d never heard of before and it’s truly iconic. Cancel Game of Thrones and Line of Duty because there’s only one TV show you need in your life right now. Think the Bachelor meets The Royal Family. Incredible. The Social Stuff Here’s the comparison of real Harry and fake Harry on our Twitter, @WhatWouldYouPod. Plus we’ve this weeks poll up there too! If you want to send us an episode suggestion or let us know what show you’d love to go on, give us a shout at whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com.

Thinking of moving abroad? We've brought in special guest Nick K to tell us what it was like moving from Australia to Ireland – which is literally going from one side of the planet to the other. If you want to move abroad and you're wondering where to start, you're probably finding the whole process a bit overwhelming. But Callum and Nick both managed it, so it's completely doable. Their experiences of moving overseas are totally different – one moved from the UK to Ireland, the other from Australia – but they moved none-the-less! An FYI About Moving Abroad & This Podcast Here's the thing – we didn't answer this from the perspective of the logistical side of moving across the world because there's so many things that vary depending on your home country and where you're going. Do you need a visa? How do you get your stuff there? What do you need? We can't answer those questions for you, but we can fill you in on the different motivations behind it (which was different for Nick and Callum) along with the emotional side of things. So if you're expecting this to fill you in on how to move to Dubai or America or anywhere else – soz. Google can help you out with that but not us! The 'Follow Us' Spiel Obsessed with Nick's accent or maybe you just want to harass him for more stories about moving (please don't harass him really)? He's on Twitter at @The_Nick_K and Instagram at @nickkarkazis.  Social media is obviously a great way to keep in touch with people  when they move abroad, so no matter where you are you can keep following us on @whatwouldyoudopod and like us on Facebook (What Would You Do If?). For The Old-Timers Come here, there's no judgement from us if you don't like social. You can always get in touch with thoughts, ideas, feedback, etc. at whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com. We're open to any sort of mail that isn't genitalia-related.

In some ways, it's unthinkable – what would you do if you left social media? Just imagine it. How would you keep up with that mate you haven't seen in ten years but you're still nosey about?  This time around on What Would You Do If?, we're discussing the realities of what would happen if we were to ditch social media forever. There's some advice on how to go about it too – although Jess makes it clear that she'll probably think you're an absolute loser if you go on about how great you feel for deleting Insta. So if you're wondering "Should I delete my social media accounts?" this episode is just for you. Apparently there's a such thing as life without Instagram and there's a ton of benefits to not using Facebook. Up to you to decide if it's worth it! Now it's time for a moment of no judgment – if Twitter and Facebook are your vices, you'll be delighted to know we're on both. But sure look, if all you've left yourself with is an old hotmail account, you can contact us through that and let us know how you're getting on at whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com. We would genuinely like to hear how you get on if you're leaving social media in 2019 for a week, a year or even forever.  SHOWNOTES This week we've got *actual notes* to include in the podcast. Bit ironic that the episode all about giving up social media has a link to an Instagram account, eh?   Here's the egg who's got more followers than you: https://www.instagram.com/world_record_egg/ Okay, by notes we meant just that link but c'mon, it's a pretty cool account. If you're fed up with Facebook, just pop over to the platform that has a famous egg and you might find yourself in love with social media again. Or maybe you'll realise it's all a bit stupid. Either way, #BlameZuckerberg.

Something you never want to think about – what would you do if you were in a plane crash? It's easily one of the most terrifying events you can think of but if your plane starts to go down, you need to know what to do. It could crash into an island or the ocean but either way, you're probably gonna panic. Once that's out of your system, what should you do? Callum and Jessica are figuring what to do if there's a plane emergency and it's pretty vital that you listen. This episode could save your life (in the very off-chance that you're in a plane crash – it's amazingly slim chances really). Remember, we're always happy for any interaction (love, hate, spam) on our accounts to make us feel important. You can tweet us on @WhatWouldYouPod, message us on Facebook or email whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com. Even let people know about us if you like us (the more listeners the merrier, according to the companies who won't buy ads from us) so feel free to tell people we're the most recommended podcast of 2019.* *We think we're the top podcast of the year. That's all that matter.

So you're travelling and you get lost in a strange or unfamiliar city. Maybe you've just arrived and it's a completely unknown place, or it could be that you've spent a couple of days here already. Either way, you're worried because you don't know where you are in a foreign land. Well wasn't it lucky that you listened to What Would You Do If? and learned exactly what to do in this situation before it happened? Look, I'm not saying this will save lives, but this episode could definitely save you from a nightmare. This is what to do if you get lost in a new city that you don't really know (and you don't have Google Maps to save you).  If you want to let us know how funny you find us or how this is the best podcast of 2019, we're on Twitter, Facebook and sure, you can even send us an email at whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com.

Ever think about what you’d do if aliens attacked? Every once in a while there’s UFO sightings or news about how aliens exist on Earth. So what do you do if it’s all true? Callum and Jessica want to give you some help in figuring out how you deal with an alien attack. Could happen – you never know! If you have any disagreements about our info or want to let us know your plan for an alien invasion, you can tweet us @WhatWouldYouPod, message us on Facebook or email whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com.

What Would You Do If? is a new podcast launching in 2019. Presented by Callum Farmer and Jessica Spencer, it’s going to answer all of your “what would you do if?” questions, from “what would you do if you won the lotto?” to “what would you do if your house caught fire?” It’s silly, informative and a bit of fun. We might be biased, but this podcast will be our most recommended podcast of the year. It’s got a British man and an Irish woman hosting it, so you can bet there’ll be a bit of exciting tension to come later down the road because of Brexit and Jessica’s regular reminders that Callum’s people killed her people and a lot of their culture. #banter And sure look, if there’s any reason that you want to get in touch, you can tweet us at @WhatWouldYouPod. Plus, we read every email that comes to whatwouldyoudoifpodcast@gmail.com (junk and all). So here we go, ready to launch the most recommended podcast* of 2019! Get ready for the April 1st when we’ll launch “What Would You Do If Aliens Attacked?” and another secret episode (ooh). *By Callum and Jessica
