Feel-Good Habits | The Scummy Mummies


Listen Later

Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn are comedy duo The Scummy Mummies and they join me to share their feel-good habits, the strategies they use and recommend to make sure every day is a good day.


In this episode @elliegibsongames and @helenwearsasize18 share:


  • The joy in a good, long lunch with friends, which is something they appreciate so much more after the lockdowns of 2020.
  • Why cheese is so wonderful and why someone turning up to your front door on a motorbike with hot food is so fantastic.
  • The ritual of a post-show curry when they are touring the country.
  • The feel-good smugness of exercise even though that's mainly something you feel after the fact and not while you're doing it.
  • Why they both love sex just not with each other.
  • How Helen has rediscovered sex now she's single again and what a treat it's been to discover 'sex is really fab' having been previously a little naive about it.
  • How being organised and decluttering is a way to access a feel-good hit, especially if it involves a skip or a hippo bag.
  • Why being on stage and making people laugh makes them feel so good and why they don't take doing what they love for granted.
  • Why people pleasing is actually lying and so much more.
  • This episode also features a sentence I never thought I'd hear on the podcast, 'Ra! Ra! Ra! Bukake!' so beware of listening to this if there are little ears in the vicinity.
