In bed with Aaron & Helene Podcast

Today we talk about our heritage, disagreements on noodles and a sense of belonging, wherever you are in the world.

After recording this episode both Helene and Aaron had the strength to run through brick walls. We gained the power of flight and unlimited cardio and strength too...Cyborg is just that inspiring.  Today we interviewed a real life superhero, hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!

Another month, another show for you all! This episode we recap the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu British Nationals, tasty treats from cheat meals gone by and the new Okja film out on Netflix.

We're back! After a little bit of a hiatus, the podcast returns with a vengeance! On a new schedule of one a month due to our hectic lives we'll be bringing you more weird and wonderful content from our daily lives. Welcome back to the in bed with Aaron & Helene podcast, we missed you.

This week we managed to get long time boxing coach at London Fight Factory Silviu Vulc, to join us on the podcast. We follow his journey from 7 year old scrapper to coach of the Romanian national team and training partner to Fedor Emelianenko, stopping off in the woods, villages and discos of communist Romania on the way.

This episode our dear friend Pedrinho joins us on the show! We've wanted him as a guest a bunch of times but he always seems to have to get on a plane before we pin him down. Pedro is a world traveller, champion competitor and black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Juninho Crivelari.

Due to all kinds of nonsense we were a bit slack in our release schedule, but we're back! This episode we go over everything we've missed including Singapore, training abroad, weddings and tasty food.

After a 2 week long hiatus due to Helene losing her voice and a crazy schedule, we're back with another episode of the show! Today we recorded first thing on one jetlagged morning, straight from Singapore. 

This morning we had an interview planned which sadly fell through. Instead we decided to hit record right as we woke up, and ended up having an interesting conversation about the differences between BJJ and Muay Thai both physically and mentally.

This episode we discuss internet fame, and the latest fashionable trend towards being controversial online, and the recent surge of more fascist attitudes.

On today's episode we get a little into our theories on training and coaching, some of our homemade food projects for the week, and plans for a completely hypothetical farm-life one day in the future. 

This week we start off focusing on a couple of new healthy tips that we'll be trying in our diets. Aaron also takes us through his first week as head Muay Thai coach at London Fight Factory.

In today's episode we recap the brilliant seminar with Cobrinha this past Saturday. We get into the benefits of inspiration, training in different ways than you are used to, and even a little bit of Chinese mythology.

We've got a dark one for you today... This episode is all about new technologies and alternate futures. We ask ourselves a lot of tough questions, listen up and tell us what YOU would do. Listen to the end for our bonus track of the week by our friends at Marble Eyes.

In today's episode we give a rundown of our top 4 culprits for martial arts nonsense. We can't believe that people still pay money to learn how to blast people with Chi, but it happens. Also, what does Meryl Streep know about martial arts? Listen to the end for our song of the week from our friends at Act Cool.

In this episode, we review the outrageous discrepancies in UFC fight purses, including the recent Rousey vs Nunes match. Discover all about Helene's weekend of delicious food and pole dancing, as well as her love of gypsy callout videos on youtube. Also this episode, our song of the week is brought to you by the fantastic Marble Eyes from here in London.  

Happy New Year! Welcome back to the first episode of what should be another great year for the show. In this episode we go through our best moments from 2016 both in and out of the podcast. We're also starting a new feature at the end of each episode, stay tuned for music from friends of the show. This week we feature a track by Act Cool, who you can listen to on Soundcloud.

The best thing about the IBAHpodcast is absolutely all the friendships we have created and deepened as a result of a few recording sessions. Not only do we get to meet new people, but we get to learn so much more about those closest to us. We originally met Bain (we say "bah-een", you probably say "bayn") through BJJ and as a result have become a small part of his journey founding bainstore.com. It's such a unique concept combining real artwork and clothing in a very special and interesting way. Not only that but today is a double header! We also have our other good friend and sponsor (and Bain's missus herself), Lauren Roerick, founder of The Undepression Project on the show too. As we're releasing this on the 25th December, we'll also wish you a Merry Christmas. Whatever you do during the holiday period and whatever it means to you, it's still just a great excuse to get together with family and friends, enjoy some great food, and hopefully avoid fighting one another, even just for a day. This is our last episode until 2017! It's been an amazing year for the show and we can't wait to keep it going in the new one!

This week we bring you another very special guest. BJJ black belt and coach "Mineiro" is a long time friend of our club, and an inspirational character to have on the mats with us. We get a little into the philosophy of BJJ, team spirit, loyalty and the lifestyle of a martial artist in this episode. We've wanted to have Marcelo on for a while so we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did!

This is a festive episode complete with sleigh bells. Discover the real story of Christmas as told by Helene, as well as family traditions and tasty holiday food. Turns out lying to your kids about Santa isn't a thing where Helene comes from. Aaron also explores all the other lies he's believed in during his childhood.
