1
00:00:08,234 --> 00:00:13,594
Speaker 1: You're listening to a mother and mea podcast.

2
00:00:14,354 --> 00:00:16,834
Speaker 2: Hello, friends, it's mea with some news that I meant

3
00:00:16,834 --> 00:00:19,913
Speaker 2: to tell you last week but forgot. You may already

4
00:00:19,954 --> 00:00:22,233
Speaker 2: know that I launched a new show this week. It's

5
00:00:22,233 --> 00:00:24,954
Speaker 2: called Unleashed, and I'm about to share a tasty with

6
00:00:24,994 --> 00:00:27,074
Speaker 2: you because I know that some of you are talking

7
00:00:27,114 --> 00:00:29,994
Speaker 2: about it in the out Louders Facebook group and saying

8
00:00:30,074 --> 00:00:32,834
Speaker 2: what's going on? And some of you might have seen

9
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:36,074
Speaker 2: me posting some stuff on socials and you probably have

10
00:00:36,234 --> 00:00:40,834
Speaker 2: questions like, am I cheating on out Loud? Well, no,

11
00:00:40,994 --> 00:00:44,074
Speaker 2: I'm producing Unleashed, but I'm not on it. I'm not

12
00:00:44,114 --> 00:00:46,513
Speaker 2: one of the hosts. The only place you're gonna hear

13
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:50,473
Speaker 2: me in your ears is still right here on out Loud. Unleash.

14
00:00:50,473 --> 00:00:53,674
Speaker 2: She's a very different show with some iconic hosts. They're

15
00:00:53,714 --> 00:00:57,674
Speaker 2: gen x women whose names you'll probably recognize because they've

16
00:00:57,714 --> 00:00:59,114
Speaker 2: all got really big day jobs.

17
00:00:59,474 --> 00:01:00,754
Speaker 3: They're all friends of.

18
00:01:00,834 --> 00:01:05,154
Speaker 2: Out Loud, and podcasting is actually new for most of them,

19
00:01:05,234 --> 00:01:05,914
Speaker 2: so there's all this.

20
00:01:06,034 --> 00:01:07,154
Speaker 3: Sally hp Worth.

21
00:01:07,194 --> 00:01:11,994
Speaker 2: To Mary Coustas, Hollywood producer, Bruna pap Andrea, stylist, Grace Lamb,

22
00:01:12,074 --> 00:01:16,434
Speaker 2: doctor Ginny Mansburg, and comedian Kat Mahoney, and you're going

23
00:01:16,474 --> 00:01:19,313
Speaker 2: to hear four of them each week on Unleashed, because

24
00:01:19,314 --> 00:01:21,313
Speaker 2: it is very hard to wrangle them into a room

25
00:01:21,994 --> 00:01:24,914
Speaker 2: and their only job on this show is to make

26
00:01:24,954 --> 00:01:27,674
Speaker 2: you laugh. So it's very different to Out Loud. Not

27
00:01:27,674 --> 00:01:30,714
Speaker 2: that Outloud's not funny, but Unleashed is not going to

28
00:01:30,794 --> 00:01:33,834
Speaker 2: keep you up to date on anything that's going on.

29
00:01:33,954 --> 00:01:36,594
Speaker 2: It is just a good time and the idea of

30
00:01:36,634 --> 00:01:40,274
Speaker 2: it is just to be a welcome distraction from everything

31
00:01:40,354 --> 00:01:43,234
Speaker 2: that's going on in the world and maybe also in.

32
00:01:43,194 --> 00:01:44,794
Speaker 1: Your life, just a bit of a respite.

33
00:01:45,954 --> 00:01:48,114
Speaker 2: Enough for me, I just wanted to set the scene

34
00:01:48,154 --> 00:01:50,034
Speaker 2: and I'm going to be back in your ears after

35
00:01:50,074 --> 00:01:53,474
Speaker 2: I've played you a few minutes from the first episode.

36
00:01:53,594 --> 00:01:56,474
Speaker 2: Now you can find the whole thing by the link

39
00:02:03,514 --> 00:02:07,034
Speaker 2: is the beginning of recording for the first episode, before

40
00:02:07,234 --> 00:02:09,274
Speaker 2: hosts even knew their mics were on, and I was

41
00:02:09,274 --> 00:02:11,434
Speaker 2: giving them a little bit of a pep talk because

42
00:02:11,434 --> 00:02:17,394
Speaker 2: they were a little bit nervous have a listen, So

43
00:02:18,514 --> 00:02:20,794
Speaker 2: I want you all to relax.

44
00:02:21,554 --> 00:02:30,754

Speaker 3: All right, sal what have you got for us on.

73
00:03:53,914 --> 00:03:54,754
Speaker 1: Talk about showering?

74
00:03:55,234 --> 00:04:00,074
Speaker 8: Because I have been learning how to shower, like lots

75
00:04:00,114 --> 00:04:02,474
Speaker 8: of things. I was raised by absent parents in the eighties,

76
00:04:02,874 --> 00:04:05,674
Speaker 8: and I have had to self teach myself a number

77
00:04:05,714 --> 00:04:09,714
Speaker 8: of things through TikTok. And it turns out that showering

78
00:04:10,194 --> 00:04:12,194
Speaker 8: can be taught, and I have been doing it wrong.

79
00:04:12,314 --> 00:04:13,514
Speaker 3: So I want to know about this.

80
00:04:14,234 --> 00:04:16,714
Speaker 8: Have you heard about the everything shower? That's the shower

81
00:04:16,794 --> 00:04:17,514
Speaker 8: You're looking at.

82
00:04:17,394 --> 00:04:20,513
Speaker 6: The wrong person, and we will discuss that soon.

83
00:04:21,354 --> 00:04:23,874
Speaker 8: The everything shower is the shower where you wash your hair,

84
00:04:23,873 --> 00:04:25,594
Speaker 8: you shave your legs, you do all that kind of stuff.

85
00:04:25,794 --> 00:04:26,834
Speaker 1: I know about that shower.

86
00:04:27,633 --> 00:04:32,113
Speaker 8: Generally, my showers have been quite pitiful when you understand

87
00:04:32,193 --> 00:04:34,394
Speaker 8: what we're learning on TikTok. So I would get in

88
00:04:34,433 --> 00:04:37,034
Speaker 8: the shower, scrub a bit with one of my fancy soaps,

89
00:04:37,154 --> 00:04:40,794
Speaker 8: rinse off, and away I went. Well, TikTok has got

90
00:04:40,794 --> 00:04:45,953
Speaker 8: other ideas. Here is this shower tok routine that they recommend. Bruna,

91
00:04:46,034 --> 00:04:48,914
Speaker 8: listen up. You start with a dry brush. This is

92
00:04:48,914 --> 00:04:51,553
Speaker 8: before you even get into the shower like a hairbrush, like.

93
00:04:51,513 --> 00:04:54,474
Speaker 6: A no no, no, like what you do before a

94
00:04:54,513 --> 00:04:57,074
Speaker 6: sauna dry by just for your body. Yeah, hippies were

95
00:04:57,073 --> 00:05:00,553
Speaker 6: big on this. This is for circulation, dead skin.

96
00:05:00,433 --> 00:05:03,234
Speaker 8: Dead skin, a lot of exfoliation. Then you have a

97
00:05:03,274 --> 00:05:05,794
Speaker 8: warm rinse. So normally this is where I probably would

98
00:05:05,794 --> 00:05:06,914
Speaker 8: have ended my shower.

99
00:05:07,834 --> 00:05:09,553
Speaker 3: And many people along with it.

100
00:05:10,034 --> 00:05:12,193
Speaker 8: You then get your bar of soap, and this is

101
00:05:12,193 --> 00:05:15,513
Speaker 8: the most important bit. You get an African net sponge. Okay,

102
00:05:15,553 --> 00:05:18,674
Speaker 8: this is looks a little bit like those poofy loofers

103
00:05:18,674 --> 00:05:21,914
Speaker 8: that you get, but it's long and you can use

104
00:05:21,953 --> 00:05:23,034
Speaker 8: it to scrub your back.

105
00:05:23,073 --> 00:05:23,954
Speaker 1: You can use it all over.

106
00:05:24,073 --> 00:05:27,914
Speaker 8: It gets everything into a nice lather and you.

107
00:05:27,313 --> 00:05:30,753
Speaker 1: Rub it all over yourself with the bar soap. You

108
00:05:30,834 --> 00:05:33,194
Speaker 1: then rinse. You then go for your liquid.

109
00:05:32,873 --> 00:05:38,113
Speaker 8: Soap soaps, two lots of soaps within the African net sponge.

110
00:05:38,474 --> 00:05:41,113
Speaker 8: You then rinse again. You then you get your witch chazel,

111
00:05:41,873 --> 00:05:47,513
Speaker 8: but under your arms interier down there it is an then.

112
00:05:47,474 --> 00:05:49,473
Speaker 3: Oh hang on, so hang on? What are you putting

113
00:05:49,474 --> 00:05:50,113
Speaker 3: it down there too?

114
00:05:50,873 --> 00:05:54,634
Speaker 1: Absolutely with your pH.

115
00:05:56,193 --> 00:05:56,993
Speaker 3: I need to talk about that.

116
00:05:57,113 --> 00:05:58,713
Speaker 1: No, no, no, let's just be careful where we put our

117
00:05:58,714 --> 00:06:00,674
Speaker 1: witch Chazel. The Final two.

118
00:06:01,113 --> 00:06:02,833
Speaker 3: Switch What time is it?

119
00:06:02,873 --> 00:06:06,993
Speaker 6: At this point, I'm sorry, question what is wit chase?

120
00:06:07,714 --> 00:06:09,594
Speaker 3: It come in a bottle? What it is?

121
00:06:10,553 --> 00:06:12,914
Speaker 8: Go to the chemist warehouse and you just get it

122
00:06:12,953 --> 00:06:16,073
Speaker 8: off the shelf. It's clear, it doesn't feel like anything.

123
00:06:16,073 --> 00:06:17,594
Speaker 1: You can put it on your pits. It doesn't stick.

124
00:06:17,674 --> 00:06:20,354
Speaker 6: We used to use it for acne when we were teenagers.

125
00:06:20,393 --> 00:06:22,113
Speaker 6: It was a type of tona. It was just to

126
00:06:22,313 --> 00:06:23,274
Speaker 6: strip the oil's back.

127
00:06:23,313 --> 00:06:24,993
Speaker 1: I didn't it didn't care for anything.

128
00:06:24,993 --> 00:06:26,713
Speaker 8: It's one of those things like wind decks. You know,

129
00:06:26,794 --> 00:06:27,953
Speaker 8: you just give it, give it a go.

130
00:06:28,953 --> 00:06:32,834
Speaker 1: So then final two. My favorite lotion. You put on

131
00:06:32,873 --> 00:06:33,914
Speaker 1: your lotion while your.

132
00:06:33,834 --> 00:06:36,553
Speaker 8: Skin is still wet to your body lotion, your body

133
00:06:36,553 --> 00:06:41,873
Speaker 8: lotion I prefer in the water is now off off,

134
00:06:41,914 --> 00:06:47,233
Speaker 8: and then you put on your oil body oil on moisturizer.

135
00:06:47,393 --> 00:06:48,153
Speaker 6: You're out of the shower.

136
00:06:49,714 --> 00:06:52,754
Speaker 3: In the bath, I've got a bath shower. That's that's I.

137
00:06:52,714 --> 00:06:56,193
Speaker 1: Smell like strawberry shortcake smell doing it?

138
00:06:56,393 --> 00:06:56,633
Speaker 2: Yes?

139
00:06:57,113 --> 00:06:57,753
Speaker 8: Can you smell me?

140
00:06:57,834 --> 00:06:57,914
Speaker 7: Oh?

141
00:06:57,993 --> 00:07:01,993
Speaker 1: Yeah, she smells real good. And I'm so soft. It's unbelievable.

142
00:07:02,154 --> 00:07:03,914
Speaker 1: And you know what I love about it is that

143
00:07:04,553 --> 00:07:06,234
Speaker 1: it is actually.

144
00:07:05,993 --> 00:07:11,754
Speaker 8: A mindful, spiritual experience. You're slow, You're doing every prose,

145
00:07:11,834 --> 00:07:13,114
Speaker 8: every part of the process.

146
00:07:13,594 --> 00:07:16,913
Speaker 1: Mind a long time.

147
00:07:17,434 --> 00:07:19,314
Speaker 8: But it made me realize that I don't think I've

148
00:07:19,354 --> 00:07:21,793
Speaker 8: ever before been clean. I was doing behind my years.

149
00:07:22,594 --> 00:07:24,514
Speaker 8: Actually ever washes behind you?

150
00:07:24,634 --> 00:07:26,153
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes I do.

151
00:07:26,674 --> 00:07:28,353
Speaker 1: Okay, I've never felt so clean.

152
00:07:28,554 --> 00:07:30,793
Speaker 3: I just used dove, so I really need to stat

153
00:07:30,794 --> 00:07:31,114
Speaker 3: this up.

154
00:07:31,714 --> 00:07:33,833
Speaker 8: And you guys shower You're obviously not showering like this.

155
00:07:34,274 --> 00:07:35,354
Speaker 8: What are you guys doing?

156
00:07:35,674 --> 00:07:38,554
Speaker 6: It was just very much a Sarah Lee type of showering.

157
00:07:38,714 --> 00:07:40,714
Speaker 6: You know, it's a layer up on layer, up on layer,

158
00:07:41,634 --> 00:07:45,194
Speaker 6: and it's a lot the big sponge. Now we're going

159
00:07:45,234 --> 00:07:47,474
Speaker 6: to use a bar of soap. Now the liquid soap
