What’s the opening banter and why do Jo and Zoe love the ‘throbbing feeling’?
Coming up on Diggit. I had to host a big breakfast with my arms out because they were in agony.
Ever wax them since I love that throbbing feeling and I found it really traumatic. I just I I cried so hard, couldn't breathe because I was crying so much. I just couldn't bear the thought of the family dynamic changing. Do you know what? I can't believe that people listen to this and oh stuff that we do and say. That's really made me so happy for all the reasons. All of that's right after this.
Hello diggers, welcome to Dig In. Hello Joe. Hi, nice to see your face again. Lovely to see your face. I'm okay. Have you remembered? It's the 21st of September. It's Earth, Wind and Friday. Any excuse to play that song. Any excuse to listen to that
song.
It's the one day that it was written about. I wonder, going back in the history of Earth, Wind of Fire, why the twenty first of September was so important to them. I must look that up. Somebody must know somewhere. I'll find out. Also, how
is it already the twenty first of September?
Also, can I point out a really funny meme that made me laugh? And it was please. I said sweater weather, sweater weather, not sweatier weather. It's too hot for September. I don't like it. I need to be getting into my winter woolies. I want to eat stews. I want to light the fire. It's No, you can do that in November and not December. In London, it's like 24, 25 degrees. I don't want this heat anyway. Yeah, but Yeah, but September often is Indian summer. Oh, I'm over it. I like a season change. I like it on the day. I want to be warm. It's uh it's autumn equinox. It's happened. I want to be cold.

We've got a question from Helen who said, female body hair, let's talk about this. Who decided that men can grow what they want when they want, but when a woman does it, it's seen as unfeminine. This is proven by the fact that when musician Phoebe Bridges was pictured at the Venice Film Festival with hairy legs, it was actually made into a headline. Like people were talking about it like it was a thing. Wouldn't it be just amazing if the perception of women Body hair was exactly the same as men's. It would save us a hell of a lot more time and money.
Would love to hear your thoughts, ladies, and that is from Helen.
Yes, Helen, where do you stand with this? Well said. Do you know what? I used to tidy myself up and I I actually like my new song is Let It Grow, Let It Grow, La La La.
How do Jo and Zoe discuss the double‑standard around women’s body hair?
I was like, I can't be. Well, firstly, the good thing is is my eyesight goes as I get older. I can't see how hairy my armpits are. That is genuinely a thing. It is a thing. And also on my legs, I can't be bothered to sh- I've shaved. Them and I blink and they've grown again. So I kind of I let my my lovely mate Sammy staying with me. She's been my roomie sometimes. And she was saying, Oh, you know, you've got to shave every other day. I was like, who bothers to shave every other day? That's another thing I love about the seasons change. I'm gonna be wearing trousers, I'm gonna be wearing long socks, I'm gonna be wearing tights. I don't have to shave my legs anymore. Um, armpits I do once a month, possibly.
Um Area, lady area, ah, I do if I think I might get lucky, which is not that often. So
I don't know. Mine has just literally stopped growing. I think we said this before, but underarm hair is a thing of the past, which is fantastic. You know, it's just When does it stop growing? I want that to happen. I don't know. I think maybe, maybe I had it waxed because I was I was very religious about having it waxed all the time.
Your armpits. No. You just normal. I had that done once when I was hosting the big breakfast and I had to host the big breakfast with my arms out because they were in agony. And I've never robbed the throb, oh my god. Never waxed them since.
Oh no. I used to really like that. I love that throbbing feeling. It was very red. But no, so I think I just wax it so much that now there is no hair and that goes for pretty much everywhere, apart from on my legs.
