Non-Serious & Unusual Bucket Lists

Forget skydiving and swimming with sharks – we're redefining bucket lists with a heavy dose of absurdity and a splash of cabernet sauvignon. These aren't your typical life goals, but that's exactly the point. 

Our non-serious bucket list items emerged from a shared philosophy that experiences matter more than possessions & the quirkier those experiences, the more memorable they become. 

Whether you're adventure-inclined or simply looking to add some whimsy to your life goals, this episode offers permission to embrace the ridiculous. Because honestly, wouldn't you rather tell stories about fencing with bread in Paris than just visiting another tourist spot? 

Share your own wild bucket list items with us on social media – photographic evidence of completion is strongly encouraged! 

Remember, life's too short for boring bucket lists!

Welcome to Fearlessly Female

Brittany 0:01

Welcome to Fearlessly Female, where two blondes make a right. We're Brittany and Meghan, the host of Fearlessly Female. This podcast was born out of ambition, drive and a lot of wine. We're two powerhouse comedic women having uncensored conversations about topics that affect women.

Meghan 0:17

Okay, let's be real. Everyone's heard of the typical bucket list stuff like skydiving, swimming with sharks or traveling to Paris, but that's not why you're here, right?

Brittany 0:27

No way, we're here for the weird, the wonderful, and did they really just say that kind of goals?

Meghan 0:32

That's right. Today we're talking about non-serious, slightly absurd but totally achievable bucket list items that you didn't even know you needed. We posted our non-serious bucket list items on our Instagram story for you all to vote. Who has the more out there? Bucket list Warning calm your tits. Offense will not be taken here. Grab your favorite drink, burn your bra and have a good time.

Brittany 0:57

Before we get into the wild and wonderful ideas we have lined up we figured it's only fair to share how we came up with this list because, believe it or not, there was some serious brainstorming involved.

Meghan 1:11

And yes, that sound you just heard is our unofficial mascot, cabernet Sauvignon. You can thank it for the creative ideas we're about to throw your way. Growing up experiences were just drilled into me. Didn't matter if you did it multiple times or it became a hobby. But go see, try it also parlayed into gifts later in my life. So I don't buy my parents' dusty tchotchkes . We go do stuff. Now my dad thinks I'm trying to off him and get to the will earlier because he has been straight up allergic to some of the experiences. But that is a whole other story.

Brittany 1:47

Oh my gosh. So when I was a kid, I had a list of typical bucket list things. You know, go here, see this, try that. And then, as I got older, my teachers would go on vacation and tell me they went, you know, blackwater rafting in New Zealand or kayaking in Antarctica. And I thought, oh my gosh, that's so cool. And I was just drawn to these stories because they were so just unusual. So I started to create a list of absolutely just ridiculous things I could do for myself.

Marathon in T-Rex Costume

Meghan 2:13

All right then. Well, let's get this party started. First up on our unusual bucket list items run a marathon in one of those inflatable T-Rex costumes. Listen, I was inspired. I'd seen a video of this guy in one of those inflatable T-Rex suits doing the most awkward jog and I thought this is the energy I want to bring into my life. Plus, how epic would it be to say, yeah, I finished a marathon and I did it dressed as a dinosaur.

Brittany 2:39

Yes, oh my gosh, I mean that's just something oddly satisfying Watching a T-Rex attempt to run 26.2 miles, flailing, tightening arms and all. I can't imagine like the crowd cheering you on. And you're just there channeling your inner Jurassic Park.

Meghan 2:56

Plus you go down in history as the T-Rex that could. That's all legacy, and if anyone tries to pass you, you just casually turn your giant head and roar at them Intimidation tactic.

Brittany 3:07

Oh my gosh, okay, okay, my turn Picture this Having a baguette fight under the Eiffel Tower.

Meghan 3:13

Like fencing with bread? Oi, oi. I'm so here for this. Can we make this a thing where the winner gets to eat the baguette afterward?

Brittany 3:20

I mean, if you're going to be in Paris, why not just lean into the cliches? I'm talking dramatic, slow motion, baguettes, sword fights, while tourists walk by just completely bewildered, and honestly, you'd make someone's vacation. They'd be like honey. I thought Paris was all romance, but we just watched two women duel with bread. It was beautiful.

Meghan 3:43

And then you follow it up with a glass of wine because France. Quick side story. I took fencing as a PE class once and, similar to how men use cups when they play sports like football and soccer, women get these steel cups for their boobs in fencing.

Brittany 3:58

We can use them as bread baskets afterwards

Meghan 4:01

I would say delicious!

Brittany 4:05

All right. All right. Dare to ask what's next on your list.

Meghan 4:08

This one's for the adventure junkies visiting Everest Base Camp. But do not climb, oh no, Just to drink hot chocolate. Snap a selfie and say, yep, I made it here and didn't die.

Brittany 4:20

Guess that's the kind of accomplishment we can get behind.

Meghan 4:24

Look, climbing Everest props to those who do it, but I'm not about to train for months and risk frostbite. I'm here for the cute mountain lodge vibes and definitely enjoy some cocoa with a view.

Brittany 4:35

Exactly, I'm pretty adventurous, but not that adventurous and honestly, trekking up to base camp is still pretty badass. Just without the whole near-death experience thing, I'd be there just taking in the Himalayas like I'm not climbing those, but I'm here.

La Tomatina Festival Dreams

Meghan 4:49

Okay, last one for this round. I'm starting to see a theme here, Drumroll please.

Brittany 4:55

Okay, attend La Tomatilla Festival in Spain. You know the giant tomato throwing festival. Imagine just getting covered in squashed tomatoes and feeling like you're in a giant food fight with 20,000 other people. It's like a stress reliever, but with produce.

Meghan 5:11

It's not even weird, because everyone else is also covered in tomatoes. It's messy, it's wild, it's very Mediterranean. Plus, who doesn't want to live out their sauciest tomato dreams in Spain?

Brittany 5:22

Right, it's like I'm going to aggressively pelt you with this tomato and we're still going to be best friends at the end.

Meghan 5:27

Can you imagine us being there like covered in tomato sauce, just laughing and trying to dodge splatters while someone yells? Ole in the background.

Brittany 5:35

I'd be the one trying to catch tomatoes midair. I'm like wait, don't waste that, we can make bruschetta.

Meghan 5:40

It's chaotic.

Meghan 5:41

It's fun. It's a little bit of a mess, kind of like this podcast

Brittany 5:44

oh my gosh.

Brittany 5:46

Well, here's the real question Are we all talk or have we tried any of these unusual bucket list items? Megan, what's your count?

Meghan 5:54

Zero for zero. We do need to achieve these, though, so we have more content for a future season of Fearlessly Female. What about you?

Brittany 6:00

I never kiss and tell oh good.

Meghan 6:05

Meghan 6:27
