We celebrate our first month by pulling back the curtain on the chaos, the laughs, and the lessons from taking our group chat live. From a bargain-bin razor mishap to missing the record button, we find the humor and the heart in imperfect beginnings.

• why unfiltered friendship makes better audio
• the $2-for-50 razor saga and beauty trap talk
• identity through playlists, Snoop on a shelf, bougie habits
• loyalty, boundaries, and the “orange jumpsuit” joke
• seven listeners, five countries, and a wide age span
• hot mics, cold rooms, glitter hair, and tech fumbles
• building momentum with weekly reps and rituals

Salty Welcome And Show Setup

Voice Over

Welcome to the Group Chat Goes Live Slightly Salty Edition, where your three favorite troublemakers turn the chaos of the group text into a full-blown weekly show. We're talking real life, real opinions, and just enough sass to keep things interesting. No filters, no perfection. Just three women with big personalities, bold stories, and a habit of saying the quiet parts out loud. So grab your drink, brace yourself, and join us. Because the group chat didn't just spill the tea, it went live.

First Month Reflections

Adrianne

Okay, so we have made it through our first month of doing our podcast series. And uh we thought it'd be funny if you kind of hear some of the behind the scenes of what happens while we're trying to figure out how to launch a podcast and a little tidbit of a little fun we thought was hilarious. So let's let's roll. What's the first clip?

The Timu Razor Disaster

Adrianne

Do not buy Timo Timu razors in bulk. So that one.

Leanna

How much of that story do you want to share?

Adrianne

Oh my gosh. So I love to buy items from Timu. Yeah, my husband too. It's so fun. And I bought these razors because you know, when we talk about aging and fuzzies on our face, and I was like, wow, this is a great price, like $2 for 50 of them. And I was in the bathroom. And so this is right before we're doing our first podcast, and I have the camera on, and I was in the bathroom talking to Terry in the dark, deciding that I would use them, and literally stabbed myself like like a knife into my chin. And it started bleeding. And Terry's like, what is happening here? And I'm like, these are really sharp. And I'm like, then I was thinking, I'm like, do I need a tetanus shot? Like, I don't know where these came from. And he's like, Why would you do this in the dark? I'm like, that is not the issue right now. She was like bleeding, and then we were doing our first podcast. With I had this like scratch across my cheek. You couldn't see it though.

Leanna

No, but you did. You sat down and were like, Can you see the scratch? Because this is what happened.

SPEAKER_02

You just bought 50 mini swords from Team Will. I have not used them since.

Adrianne

I'm afraid to now.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

What's the next clip? Let's I don't know. Let's

Playlists, Snoop, And Identity

SPEAKER_02

hear.

Leanna

A little snoop and a little jeep.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah.

Leanna

We've gotten more comments.

SPEAKER_02

I know about that.

Leanna

Because you are. Yeah, I am I'm telling you, my music range is all over the place. And someone said that my playlist makes me seem a little bipolar.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's all of us, but whenever we see or hear Snoop, we think of you.

Leanna

Yes, completely.

SPEAKER_02

I have Snoop on the stoop for Christmas just because of you, and I got you one.

Leanna

I know, you did. And I sits on my shelf every. And I also have Martha on a mantle. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_02

I refuse to get Martha. But that's I just have an issue with her. That's true. I only want Snoop in the house.

Leanna

Like I'm super gangster. And then I want things bougie in a certain way to do it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's very true.

Leanna

So a little Snoop a little Jesus, a little Snoop a little Martha.

SPEAKER_02

There you go. There we go. That's you.

Leanna

What else? Together.

What We’d Be Famous For

Leanna

What would you be famous for? Why don't you start it? I would be famous for something that would make me wear orange for the rest of my life.

SPEAKER_02

You have to.

Leanna

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

First of all, I feel like I have a feeling we're gonna have a lot of Liana in here. Okay.

Leanna

No, let's hope not. Although, yeah, maybe. I don't try and commit crimes. You just think about it often. Nor have I ever. And being married to someone in law enforcement, I know better. But my you guys know my face shows exactly what I'm thinking and what I'm feeling. And there's a reason why the podcast has a slightly salty addition. I think that's who I am.

SPEAKER_02

And I, you know, I'm you are fiercely protective too.

Leanna

I am.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

Leanna

I am. I love hard. And it takes a while to get in if you can actually make it in the inner circle that I'm very protective and would probably end up in jail if someone messed with one of my people.

Adrianne

But and I like we remind each other of that. Like when we're in one of those moods. Yeah. To be like, hey, you don't look good in orange, or hey, those bars don't, you know, there's no pressucco being delivered behind bars. You know that it's just a funny joke, but reminds us to get back on. Yes, but just being salty.

Leanna

Yes.

Adrianne

And I'm not being real.

Leanna

I think we all know that really none of us are cut out from prison. No. I'd be like, it's it's a little chilly. I need a blanket.

Adrianne

I'd be like, I need my my my pillow mattress covered. I know.

Leanna

Yeah. Oh god.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Okay. No popping bottles in prison. No. You can't go there.

Leanna

I'm just gonna tell you right now, if we if the two of us end up in orange, there's a strong pocket. Oh, that's the rest of it.

Adrianne

You'll be with us? That is the rest of it.

Leanna

It's fine.

Adrianne

I would just be or you're the alibi that to get us out of the orange.

unknown

Yeah.

Adrianne

Yes.

Leanna

I do feel like you would be out of the three of us. I know nothing ever. Yes. Nothing. The good Italian girl in you would help us.

SPEAKER_02

I know nothing. I don't even know you guys. Why am I here? Who are you?

Leanna

I think that's the end of that club. Let's see.

Seven Listeners And Global Reach

Leanna

We did decide that we're gonna have, we know for sure, at least seven listeners. Are there the list of our husbands, our parents, and people that we can force to listen to this? So outside of the seven listeners, I hope that other people find this helpful and just really kind of gain something from it because without you two, I don't know where I would be in orange already. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Orange again.

Leanna

I and I hate orange. That is my least favorite color. So no, I I think it's funny. The other thing that we got messages on quite a bit was people saying, like, I think I'm listener number eight. I think I'm listener number nine, right? So I love the fact that we already have amazing support for us just being us. Right.

SPEAKER_02

And and we do. I mean, Franny wants to know how to get us out there more. She's always the first liker. I do.

Leanna

I love it. I know for the hearts. I wonder if she'll come, would she come on the podcast?

SPEAKER_02

Oh boy.

Leanna

I feel like everyone's.

SPEAKER_02

If we have a martini available, she will be our we can make that happen. And I will say, the story she shall tell.

Leanna

We she's gotta be our first guest then. But no, with our seven listeners, we found out we're right now in five different countries. I know. How do we get it for right after week one?

Adrianne

We're already famous.

Leanna

We're already, yes. We're famous to 18 years.

SPEAKER_02

This is our therapy. Thank you. Welcome to therapy.

Leanna

And we have a large age ban, right? A what? A large age ban of listening.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, age span. I thought you said age pan. I thought that was something else I don't know. No. Okay.

Leanna

Age span.

SPEAKER_02

Span.

Leanna

Yes. Yeah. Because I got a message from our nine-year-old grandson last night that he followed us and downloaded it. How he knows how to download post patches.

SPEAKER_02

Because he's because he's a child and they know how to do this from age two.

Leanna

Yep.

SPEAKER_02

So from nine to almost eighty-ish.

Leanna

Yep. We won't say who.

SPEAKER_02

We won't say who.

Leanna

But from nine to eighty and on.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm. There you go. Okay, wait. All right. The phone has stopped. There.

Tech Fumbles And Hot-Mess Energy

SPEAKER_02

Is there anything? Oh, you have to start. You're at I think you're at the end. No, there's something right there.

Adrianne

No, that's the hot. It is hot in here. I also feel like we need a fan in here. Are you someone else sweating? Group chat goes live. I got this. I'm ready. We're sweating. When you call three middle-aged women in a room with a closed door. It's constant.

Leanna

Although today we're freezing.

Adrianne

Yeah. It is cold today. Much better though.

Leanna

Yeah, I'd rather than trying to sweat. Yeah. Glisten. Glisten like angels.

SPEAKER_02

The way that I have glitter in my hair. Not on purpose.

Leanna

There is a whole middle section.

SPEAKER_02

There is on this? Uh-huh. In the phone? Yes. That you sent me. Yes. No, it is not.

Leanna

This is gonna be its own out day.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not the technical person. Look, there. Look, press start. Start? That's awesome. No, Kier, you take it. I don't know how to work that. Just be careful. You're on my phone. I know. I'm a little afraid. I never know what's gonna be on Carrie Ann's phone.

Leanna

Touch anything here. We do have an agreement that if anything happens to any of us, one of us will clear out the phone history.

Adrianne

Look at us with all these cameras.

unknown

I know.

Leanna

Where did that come from?

Adrianne

Now watch it. I cannot remember the group chat goes live today. It's one of those days. Hit record. Did we not hit the record get charged?

SPEAKER_02

No, this is the hot mess of stage. There we go. I don't even know how we get it all together to get this to be anything right now. It's a group effort. I know, not with me.

Leanna

I did not hear that.

Adrianne

Oh no. You have to listen quick for that one.

unknown

No.

Leanna

Do you want me to play this?

Adrianne

You can't. Okay. That's why I was doing my clicky click. Okay. All right, ladies.

Adrianne

SPEAKER_02
