You're listening to the Girls Get Off podcast, an R18 podcast in all things female pleasure. Think girl talk, but real girl talk, where we chat all things masty, self-loving, sex, orgasms, and more. Nothing is off limits, which means you get all the secrets even our guests BFFs don't know. We're on a mission to make talking about getting off as fun as actually doing it. Ready to join the Mastination? Let's get into it. Hello and welcome to the Girls Get Off podcast. If you're new here, we are Viv and Jo, founders of sexual wellness brand Girls Get Off.

This season, the pod has had a bit of a glow up and we're excited to share with you our weekly segment, The Weekly Quickie. This is where we keep you updated on what's happening in the GGO world, what's new in electric toothbrushes and what's going on in our lives. We will release an episode every Wednesday. So make sure you follow the podcast and share with your friends. So let's get into it.

First I want to start with the absolute blunder that was the Herpes Q &A this week. So we had Katie, the clinical lead from STIFE, which is the umbrella organisation for the New Zealand Herpes Foundation, come on and do a Q &A. It was originally scheduled for Tuesday. We were like, I'll get on early or organise it all. And it literally didn't work. Even our backup option of going live and to just the Facebook group, because originally I'd had Jackie figure out.

Yep, we can stream to both places, Instagram and Facebook group. That didn't work. Tried to go to the Facebook group, absolute drama. And then we tried to do it Tuesday as well and she got sick from her kid. And then Thursday, we finally got it done last night, but I was laughing because we're using a different platform. So we essentially go live like you and I right now, but then it spits it out to all the different platforms. And we...

At the start I said, no, no, we're not live yet. At the start when I've saved the video, we're sitting there, I'm like, I'm just gonna see if we're on Facebook live. Katie's like yawning, like it's 8.30 p.m. for her. And then at the very end, we mentioned, and you might remember this time last year, because I think World Herpes Day is, maybe it was last week, and.

Jo (02:12.878)

They had this incredible campaign that was organised by Motion Sickness, this like very award winning New Zealand creative agency, and they managed to get this famous rugby player, okay, I don't actually know if he was a player, rugby, All Blakes coach, like very well known to spearhead the campaign and was sort of the face of the campaign. But the issue was at the end when we were wrapping up, I said, oh my God, and you had John Kirwan doing the campaign for you and came and was sitting there like.

Her eyes were frozen. like, then I froze and I look back at it and I'm like, wrong person? She said wrong person. I was like, oh my God, who was it? And then I put her into a panic. So she was sitting there being like, nervously laughing. And I was like, oh my God, you're right. It's not John Quirwin. He's the one who goes and like does mental health stuff. And I was sitting there like, oh my God. And then I was like, Sir Graham Henry. I'm like, only the guy who's been, if you're a sir, it mean you've been like literally knighted? Yeah. important in New Zealand.

society, culture, and I'm like, my God, we've just talked about this topic for an hour and I can talk to you about herpes, but certainly not rugby players. I can just imagine people watching the live though, for God's sake. So yeah, I mean, if you do want to watch that back, I've left it up because I thought, I mean, there's nothing, it's just us chatting beforehand and poor Katie Yawning, but I'm going like, is it it on? But all the information is still there. So I mean, if you want to get amongst, it's up there for you.

Amazing. Gosh, that just, I'm glad that was a you problem and not a me problem. Wow, I technical issues. And even at one stage, I'd like, right, I've got this. And then I looked at the Instagram preview and we were sideways. Like we had rotated fully and I was like, oh great, awesome. So I've been like, stop it, refresh it, do all these things. But we got there in the end. Oh my gosh. Well, maybe Graham,

Henry, I can't even say his name now. Sir Graham Henry might actually want to be in one of our Sex Files episodes as well because so far we have got a few good names. I'm excited to have Jay Revon. Yeah, I mean, if you've been listening to these weekly quickies, that's one part of the podcast and we haven't released yet our other segment that's gonna come out every fortnight. We're gonna ask.

Jo (04:32.206)

people that are not necessarily in the sex industry because everybody fucks the same 10 questions about their sex life. And I feel like Jay Reeve, he's been on a few podcasts so far talking about his sex life. every time he goes on one of these podcasts, everyone goes, that was incredible. Just bringing light to things that people don't normally talk about makes it normalised, makes people feel comfortable. yeah. And I think men are less likely

to talk about their sex lives. It seems to be a more comfortable conversation around women, I feel. Well, that's all I've really seen, you know what I mean? So looking forward to it. Yeah, and we've also got the likes of Simone Anderson confirmed. I really want to get Patty Gower. think I just love, do you follow? I don't even know if I follow him, but Patty Gower has issues, always comes up on my Instagram. So I think he would be, and for those who don't know Patty,

You will know Patty because he was the guy who went viral back in the day. Before Instagram reels were even a thing. It was just a cultural viral moment when he said he was reporting in a library somewhere and someone said, this is a fucking library. And he turned around and he said, this is the fucking news. Do you know what I'm talking about? What? No, but how good? my God. If you ask anyone who's pretty guy they don't know, normally people would know, that's

This is the fucking news, that guy. And then he just turns back around and keeps going. I've heard that line. I've heard that line. oh my gosh, how good. You have to look it up after this, but I we can get like a whole range of people on that series and we'll start with some Kiwis to get the ball rolling and then push into more Aussie people too. And that's how it's going to feel more normal, right? Like the bigger the range we can get, the more I think.

A lot of podcasts just have sexologists and stuff on, so this will be a bit different. And we'll still have people from the sex industry. think the part then will be that there's actually no difference. Yeah. And there's no point comparing your lives because it doesn't matter if you're a high-end sex worker or if you're someone who works in the radio or if you are a business coach. Everyone's sex lives look different. They've had different experiences and the whole point of that.

Jo (06:53.432)

of series will be to normalise everything by talking about it. Yeah, perfect. Love it. Can't wait. All right. And this week I've actually been doing mystery boxes up much to my kids and their friends disgust because there was that many items that got delivered. It's literally taken over my dining room and lounge room and.

Yeah, I walked out yesterday and Arlo's got handcuffs on and I'm just like, oh my gosh, that was not for you to touch. Arlo is eight for context. So, yeah, then- discussed this yesterday though, that size is quite good. These are the ones that are quite good for small wrists. Yeah, so I've upped the size. was like, okay, if, yeah, we need to the sizes. Great test. However, still more to find.

But yeah, and then I think my, like, I couldn't even fit my laptop on the dining table. Like it was on top of this pile of stuff and we were on a call the other day and my eldest son gets home, he's nearly 18 with his mate and his mates like walked into the room and I'm like, what? Like, can we just like clear the house out this week please? Well, I literally have hundreds.

of sex toys just out of packets, everything like covered in the lounge room and stuff. But the mystery boxes are gonna be great. So all worth it. And the most exciting part is normally when we do mystery boxes, people say, what if I've got this? Can I change something out? But this time, these are all things that we found at the Hong Kong trade show. So we went around and not only were we researching, we were also going, this would be fun, this would be funny.

be great to get people's feedback on this one. This one looks cute, but we'd never add it to our range. And so we've just like, they are going to be mystery boxes. Absolute mystery boxes. Yeah. Yeah. So fun times. Fun. They're to be very fun times. And on that note, before we jump into some more personal dating things and we find out what kind of data Joe is, I got a message the other day from a friend, actually Robin from Hello Period Co. If you don't have a period disc.

Jo (09:09.102)

get amongst it, but she must have been doing pharmacy visits down south the other day and I got two messages from her. I got a picture from a pharmacy in Queenstown which had afternoon delights, so that's exciting. And then I also got another photo from a chemist's warehouse. And so for those who are a bit late to the party, we're across chemist's warehouse in New Zealand now. And two of the products were completely empty on the shelf. There were some missus left.

Wanda was all gone. What else, what other toys in there? Lulu? Is she in there? Not Lulu. Wanda, Polly and Missy and a toy cleaner. Yeah, so maybe Polly and Wanda were all gone off the shelf. There were some Missy's there, but I was like, yes. Yeah, yeah. And when I went into a store the other day and there were things missing and like things not.

over or put back upside down and I'm like, yes, people are actually like picking them up. Like, please put them down the right way, but. And I was actually, I was, I'm actually gutted because I got a hysterical laughing voice memo from a friend recently and she said, I can't believe this has just happened. Basically she'd sent her partner

off to Chemist's warehouse to get her a new missy. And she said he got to the missies, they were locked. Clearly they're a hot property item. They're obviously not locked anywhere, because none of the screenshots I've been sent so far have been locked. So it must have been somewhere in the mountain had locked them down. So first he had to ask a shop attendant to come and unlock them for him. Then the lock didn't work. Then they took it over to the counter. He's trying to put it in a bag. Then the guy's like, have a fun night. And she said,

my God, he was mortified and she'd sent me a video of her on FaceTime talking to him as he's just like, I can't believe you've done this to me. But they're not locked up anywhere. But there was no sound. no. I don't even know if he would have let us post it, but I just wanted to. She was in the little corner bottom right just like.

Jo (11:29.582)

dying with laughter and I wish I could have heard the audio but yeah so. Perfectly. Now you don't just have to send hubby down for tampons he can go and get you a little treat as well. Yeah perfect. He wants to go fishing or something send him down to Chemist Warehouse first to get you a treat. I'm going to end with my new little segment for this quickie and that is going to be my app turn on of the week.

Okay, so going through profiles, this one stood out from the rest and Chris, you're in Auckland and I don't give a shit at this point. This is someone that I would be very satisfied to date. She's hunting. His profile in his bio, it said, if we match, say something, anything, and then I'll take charge from there. You won me over, Chris.

That is the line of the week. Gold stars for Chris. What was his profile photos like though? There mustn't have been, there mustn't have been, I don't know. He's 44 franchisee. That's all we got. Cause I just screenshot it. probably still swiped him off, swiped. That's terrible. Okay. So you saw his profile, you lied and you swiped away. I'd say so. But I took a screenshot.

Let's put that on the agenda for next week. Let's. Okay. I love it. Amazing.
