Send us a textIn 2025, “How to adult” is one of the most searched phrases on Google—and the questions people are asking reveal something deeper than just forgotten laundry tips. From “Is it normal to like stuffed animals as an adult?” to “Can you start ballet at 35?”, it's clear we're collectively rethinking what growing up really looks like.In this episode, Krissy Vann and Laurie Joy Kingwell pull over to reflect on the winding road to adulthood and how societal expectations can steer us away from what we truly want. With real-life examples like Julia Child publishing her first cookbook at 50 and Burt Munro setting motorcycle speed records in his 60s, we bust the myth that there's a right age—or route—for anything.Whether you're considering a late-in-life pivot or just tired of feeling like you missed a made-up deadline, this episode is your reminder that it's never too late to shift gears. Because adulthood isn't about hitting milestones—it's about building a ride that actually feels like yours.

I denne episoden av Scoochpodden besøker vi Aleksander Degnes i Kornsjø. Eller som han er omtalt i kundelisten til en av landets entusiastbutikker, Selveste 2Stroke Stuffing, Rockstar ! Grunnen til at denne herremannen nyter godt av slik respekt er at han i årevis har forsket, bygget og kjempet i to-taktens tjeneste, og det for åpen scene! Etter å ha gått gradene fra glad amatør med fil, til ekspert med bremsebenk og CNC fres på Youtube, har han skaffet seg over 203000 følgere. Kanalen heter 2Stroke Stuffing og følger Alex i kampen om å bygge verdens raskeste moped! At han med beskjedne midler bygger moped for å sette verdensrekord på Bonneville i USA har klare paralleller til Burt Munro historie. Og det er noe vi motorsport entusiaster faller for så er det lille menneskets kamp mot de etablerte.Filmen om Burt het "The worlds fastest indian" og historien om vår mann Alex følger du best på kanalen hans! Under vårt besøk ble det snakket om alt fra bil-trim karrieren til nerding på alt fra akvarier til kona. Om det høres knaking i podden så er det fra den tynne isen under Scoochpodens utsendte. Takk for praten Alex!https://www.youtube.com/@2STROKESTUFFINGBli patreon av Scoochpodden å få episodene reklamefrie: https://www.patreon.com/scoochpodFølg oss på facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100051375947801Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoochpod/ Hosted on Acast.

In the true spirit of Burt Munro, two Wellingtonians will this weekend push their suped-up scooters to the max at an event carrying the motorcycling legend's name. Riding a heavily modified Lambretta and Vespa respectively, Mike Salmon and Ian Footit compete in the pre-1963 Girder Fork division at the Burt Munro Challenge, the largest motorcycle rally in the Southern Hemisphere. Reporter Robin Martin caught up with the duo. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6346526554112

Roger Donaldson’s unfairly overlooked gem is, in our minds, one of the finest stories of the power of the human spirit EVER. Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of Kiwi cyclist Burt Munro is funny and touching and very, very real. Add to that a certain cinematic verisimilitude not often found these days and you have one hell of a perfect movie!
Réalisé par Roger Donaldson Avec Anthony Hopkins, Diane Ladd, Paul Rodriguez
