In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack, May, and Hendrick discuss personal hygiene.Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:14JackWelcome to the.00:00:14JackA-Z.00:00:15JackEnglish podcast my name is Jack and I am back for another quick chat episode. However, I am not alone. I have two of my very good friends may from Malaysia and Hendrick from Indonesia.00:00:31JackAnd May actually brought this quick chat topic to me, and I'm going to read what she wrote here really quickly, she said. The topic was about hygiene habits, hygiene habits, what are some essential hygiene.00:00:51JackHabits you believe everyone should follow for their well-being.00:00:58JackAnd may I'm gonna even go one step farther. And I'm gonna say.00:01:05JackFor other peoples well-being too right.00:01:09MayYes, you're right, Jack.00:01:10JackYeah. OK. OK.00:01:13JackSo let's start.00:01:15JackWith the big ones like May, what do you think? What's?00:01:17JackLike a big one for you.00:01:18JackThat people do or don't do.00:01:20MayOK, sure. Yeah. But before that, with you mind to explain or describe the word hygiene.00:01:29JackRight, OK. Hygiene just means cleanliness, like the way that we clean ourselves, you know, clean our bodies.00:01:38JackFor example, brushing your teeth, washing your hair, washing your body, taking a shower, all of those are what we would call practicing. We use the verb practice, so that would be practicing good hygiene and the opposite would be.00:01:59JackPracticing bad hygiene, which would be not brushing your teeth, not showering, not taking a bath, not washing your hair, et cetera. So I'll let you since you brought this to me, may why don't you start us off with some of the ones that are important to?00:02:16MayYou OK?00:02:19MayOf meat. What I.00:02:23MayI'm practicing daily. The main one will be shower because OK for me, I shower about two to three times in a day and the most important time of I mean for me to.00:02:41MayGet a shower.00:02:42MayIs when I wake up early in the morning.00:02:45발표자OK.00:02:45MayBecause it it says that when we shower early in the morning, we can prevent ourselves from getting from getting many kind of sickness like those things like flu, flu, cough.00:03:02MayThere were, and actually many other sickness. So when we shower every morning we can, like, reduce our chances to get that kind of things. So that is what the the main thing I practice in fact because we have a humid weather here in Russia we.00:03:22MayAt least we need to shower twice a day, even though we didn't.00:03:26MayLeave the house.00:03:28JackBranch, right?00:03:28MaySo so morning is compulsory, and then sometimes when I go out in the afternoon, come back and I will take a shower again and night time.00:03:39MayFor sure one one more round.00:03:42JackThat's so funny, because when I lived in Thailand's, I was on about two to three showers a day, which is pretty. That's a lot from considering where I'm from in America. We don't shower two to three times a day, you know.00:03:56MayYeah, I think.00:03:59MayI feel reject, but if you are living here in.00:04:04MayI mean Asian country especially.00:04:08MayYou would have to do this because if not, you won't feel.00:04:11MaySo. So that's the main thing I practice here and then I.00:04:12발표자Right.00:04:20MayCan't tolerate people who have bad body order, so body order so that is my main concern. When you don't shower you will you will collect those kind of bad body order which I cannot tolerate. I'm sensitive.00:04:36JackRight.00:04:40JackYou're sensitive to smell, right?00:04:43MayYes, you are right.00:04:46JackOK, well, let's, let's.00:04:46MaySo that is the main.00:04:47MayThing I practice.00:04:48JackYeah. Let's stay on the shower topic and body odor topic for a second. I want to ask Kendrick Kendrick. Like, what about you? How many showers are you on during a day? How many a day?00:05:02HendrickOhh for me at this stage the time in a day. Yeah, the time and day. Just in the morning and then, you know, usually I have class at the afternoon and then just when I arrive the maturity you know. And then I just take a shower. Yeah.00:05:18JackOK. So you take a shower in the morning and then you kind of run your day.00:05:19HendrickSo you are good.00:05:22JackAnd then you, you, you know, sweat and all that. And then in the night in the evening, you take another shower.00:05:29HendrickExactly. Yeah, that's only two.00:05:30JackOK.00:05:32HendrickTimes in a day, yeah.00:05:34JackThat's fine. That's good. I may. Would you consider that's still good hygiene, right?00:05:39MayIt's OK because like usually when I just.00:05:46MayStay at home and not go in there.00:05:51JackYeah, when you're not, when you're not going out or when you're staying at home.00:05:53MayI just take twice. I mean before. Yeah, I mean, I on a working day as well before I leave the house, I shower and then in the evening I come back and then I take one more time shower only that I mean two is considered OK.00:06:14MaySomething compulsory you do here.00:06:16JackYeah, now I usually.00:06:18JackShower on Sundays. Is that weird?00:06:22JackUh, no, I'm just kidding. I'm joking.00:06:25HendrickJack, that's that's not clear.00:06:28HendrickBut that's very interesting, you know.00:06:28JackBy Sunday shower.00:06:32MayDon't you tell me, Jake. You only shower once a week. You save me now, Jack.00:06:36JackYou could smell. You could probably smell me right through the computer. The.00:06:41MayThis can be.00:06:42JackI I take a shower once uh day UM and but it because it's getting cold here so it's it's like it's like 5 degrees right now, you know outside 5-6 degrees. Yeah. So I I don't really sweat that much. So what I usually do is I take a shower.00:06:48MayOK, that sounds better.00:06:54MayYeah, I understand. I feel that I can really.00:07:03JackAt night.00:07:04JackAnd then and then I sleep and.00:07:07JackThen I just.00:07:08JackWake up and wash my face and just kind of like splash water in my face. But I don't take a a full shower in the morning.00:07:16JackSome people you know, have to.00:07:18JackTake a shower to wake up.00:07:21JackFor me, I just rub water in my eyes and I just splash water on my face. And you know, I don't have any hair.00:07:29JackSo I don't have to worry about my hair being messy in the morning. You know, some people have to worry about that, but I don't. I just washed my head. I just wash my whole head with water and it's kind of like almost like taking a shower anyway. So.00:07:35HendrickExactly. Yeah. Yeah, you're wrong.00:07:47JackYeah, I take one shower a day.00:07:51MayTry head. Taking a shower in the morning. Jack, you will feel the freshness. It's like.00:07:57MayEverything you feel like a new, fresh you'll be. You'll have more energy.00:08:05JackI agree with that. I I agree with that by only the only disagreement is that I, like I would rather I would trade 10 more minutes of sleep.00:08:16JackFor a shower.00:08:22JackIf I could sleep 10 minutes more and not.00:08:24JackShower. I'll do that.00:08:27JackTwo more minutes and not brush.00:08:28JackMy teeth? No problem. No, I'm just kidding.00:08:32JackYeah, I'm not that bad.00:08:35JackI'm disgusting, I guess compared to you.00:08:37JackGuys, I'm not that disgusting.00:08:40JackOK. So Hendricks on 2 Maison 3, I'm on one, the average is 2 showers a day, but you guys live near the equator. You're in the tropics. I'm in a more temperate climate, so it's maybe excusable for me to take one shower a day.00:08:57MayYeah, I can relate to you about that actually.00:09:01JackYeah. Yeah. What's in body order is a big one for me too. Like I I use deodorant now. Do people use deodorant in Malaysia and Indonesia?00:09:14MayOf course, not only children. We have all kinds of bodies, spray body, deodorant, everything. I don't know him, but I guess he does that as well. I'm not right hand.00:09:28HendrickYeah, exactly. Yeah. So, yeah, I have it. You know, like I usually after finish, you know, shower and then I just use my bedroom. Yeah, because that's very important and also.00:09:39HendrickYou feel very bad apart from him, yeah.00:09:43JackThis is funny because I just had this conversation with my wife yesterday and she told me Korean people believe they don't have body odor.00:09:44HendrickYou know.00:09:53JackThey don't use deodorant. So 2020 years ago when I moved to Korea, I went to the store to buy deodorant. I couldn't find it. I couldn't find it anywhere. I had to go to the black market and buy deodorant.00:10:03MayOK.00:10:09JackAnd it and it is true. Korean people did. Most Korean people don't.00:10:14JackHave body odor.00:10:15JackIt's really strange. I don't know what the why? What the you know the the chemist. Like the chemical reason or the.00:10:24JackYou know, I don't know the reason why. Yeah, I I.00:10:27MayFeed the environment.00:10:27JackThink it's just.00:10:28JackGenetics. I think it's genetics, but one out of every sixty Korean people does have body odour and they don't think they do, but they smell, you know, so.00:10:42JackThat's bad when you're sitting next to that person on the subway and they have Bo, we call it Bo body odor. Yeah, yeah.00:10:51MayBut how how? How?00:10:55MayIs it possible by where everyone almost everyone there?00:10:59MayDoesn't have any smell. How is it possible?00:11:03JackNo, it's really strange. I swear I'm not even joking with you. It's like they don't. They run around all day in the summer, they sweat and everything and.00:11:13JackThen they don't smell.00:11:15JackThey smell like a they smell like a basket of.00:11:17JackFlowers at the end.00:11:18JackOf the day I.00:11:18MayWow, this is.00:11:20JackI look like a homeless person. You know what I mean? I look like I slept under a railroad track or something. They look, my wife looks as fresh as a Daisy when she comes home from work and I look like.00:11:35JackYou know a garbage man that's been working.00:11:37JackAll day so.00:11:40JackI don't understand. You know, it's just something about the, you know, it's a genetic thing. So she, you know, doesn't have to use deodorant. But I always use deodorant. I'm terrified that I'm going to be the smelly person. I don't want to be the smelly person at work, you know?00:12:00MayIs it because the food they eat from the day they are born to the world, something like that?00:12:06JackMaybe right. It's probably kimchi. It's probably the kimchi that doesn't make them smell.00:12:11MayI don't know.00:12:12JackKimchi smells, but, but they don't. So.00:12:17JackI don't know.00:12:17MayStrange this this is something new that I just know today.00:12:22JackYeah, yeah.00:12:23JackSo yeah, so I use deodorant. You guys use deodorant. You guys showered several times a day. I in the summer, I shower multiple times a day. I have to shower more than once a day in the summer in Korea. It's too humid. Yeah, right. But it doesn't matter. Because sometimes.00:12:42JackI'm sweating as soon as I walk out of the shower. I.00:12:45JackStart sweating again.00:12:46JackBecause it's still humid.00:12:47MayYeah, that, that's that is the exact situation happened in Asian countries like with you when you just take a shower, you leave for the bathroom in less than one minute, you'll be sweating.00:12:59JackI know it's the worst.00:13:00MayThat's the situation.00:13:02JackOK, it's terrible. It's terrible.00:13:05JackAll right.00:13:05MaySo you tell me, how can a person not take any shower in the day here?00:13:10JackI don't know. I mean you you have to work in a garbage dump and you know, I mean, I don't know where else you could work and get away with that. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe if you work at a durian stand.00:13:13MaySomething's wrong.00:13:31JackYou sell durian. You don't need to take a shower every day.00:13:34MayLike durian smells good. Yeah, it smells good.00:13:36HendrickI'm looking missing.00:13:40MaySmells good, Jack. And it's delicious.00:13:40JackOK. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't. I shouldn't talk badly about.00:13:46JackFrom the nation person.00:13:51JackI know you guys, you guys are teaming up against me with your during and love. What? What's another one, mate? What about what about, you know, brushing teeth like bad breaths. How? How do you feel about that one?00:14:05MayUh this uh?00:14:07MayBe usually be brushed twice a day and then if you have bad breath, you come you only I mean brushing teeth itself doesn't help. If you really had a bad smell in your mouth, so you need something like maybe a listen.00:14:29MayMouthwash. Something like that.00:14:32JackOr mints just like pop mint mints all the time. Altoids.00:14:32MayOhh that.00:14:37MayI think in Malaysia we have a brand called, it's something like a mouthwash, peppermint and some other.00:14:47MayStuff inside. We are not too sure about that, but that is our mouth wash purpose. It's like to clean all our gum our teeth.00:14:51JackOK.00:14:54MayI work on everything you said the most.00:14:57JackOK. And what about you? How many times do?00:14:59JackYou brush your teeth in a day.00:15:01HendrickOhh wow, I think for me, you know, usually I in the morning, you know, in the morning before I go to the to my class. And then after before I go to sleep and usually you know after I eat something you know, because I learned this heavy when I was in Bali.00:15:21HendrickWhen I was working at salesman at the bank and I learned from the, you know, like the people that they work at the bank.00:15:29HendrickEspecially when they have to face with the customer everyday. You know like they always brush their teeth after.00:15:35HendrickThey eat you.00:15:36HendrickKnow because yeah, that's very important and and also.00:15:39JackThis is a Korean thing, yeah.00:15:42HendrickYeah. And when it's very important for you, you know like to have like bubble gums when to make you know you must smell, you smell really good.00:15:54HendrickWhen you, because you know when you have the conversation with people, you know you you have to.00:16:00HendrickMake sure that.00:16:01HendrickYour mouth is, you know, like it's smells good. Yeah.00:16:05JackRight. Right now in Korea, Korean people brush their teeth three times a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yeah, yeah.00:16:06MayYou're right, Zach.00:16:11MayAh, OK yeah.00:16:15JackAlways at work. Now I started doing it for a while, but here's my problem. I think I have bad breath I and I'm. I'll tell you why I think I have an excuse why I'm teaching all the time, right? So I'm talking all morning and my breath and my mouth gets so dry.00:16:33JackAnd it's a big problem because when you have dry mouth, then your mouth smells bad, right? Because it's not right.00:16:41HendrickYou're though.00:16:43HendrickYeah, it's better to consume, you know.00:16:45HendrickLike water, it also has.00:16:46JackYeah. And I don't drink enough water. I don't really drink water. I drink coffee, which actually makes it dehydrates me.00:16:51HendrickNow I'll do that.00:16:53JackMore so, yeah.00:16:54MayYou're right, Jack. Coffee doesn't help. You did, like, just plain water.00:17:00HendrickNo water. It's very helpful.00:17:02JackYeah. So I'm kind of worried, you know, students come up to me and then, like, teach her. I have a question and then I go, how can I help you? And then they like.00:17:10JackLook like they're going to die, you know, like.00:17:14JackJack almost killed me.00:17:16JackIt's because I've been. I have very dry mouth and then I'm drinking coffee on top of that. I should be drinking water to try to, you know, stop that. So I think I have no problem. I think I have bad hygiene. Yeah.00:17:32JackOK.00:17:32MayCould could be improved. Jack, no worries.00:17:35JackI mean, I do brush my teeth like 2 times a day. I brush in the morning and in the evening and sometimes I brush it three times.00:17:41JackA day. But I brush three times a day, but well, is there anything else? What else are we missing here? So we've got teeth. We've got body. Body odor. What else are we missing?00:17:55HendrickAre you doing better anymore?00:17:58JackClean bedroom.00:18:02HendrickBecause you know all this here, you know I live before that. I live in my my roommates, you know, in the same room. And I think they have the bad heads, which is, you know, like they just throw the garbage.00:18:17HendrickThis in the room.00:18:19HendrickIn the bedroom, you know, like Oh my God. This bedroom is really amazing. So I just moved from this bedroom and then I moved to my another friend's bedroom. So right now, in the new bedroom. Yeah.00:18:35JackYeah, you don't.00:18:36JackWant to live with a pig? Yeah, living with pigs is is terrible because there's bugs everywhere. It's gross.00:18:45MayAnd I think one more thing, I believe we should practice thing we should practice this changing clothes every day.00:18:54MayThank you.00:18:56MayI don't know how how.00:18:57MaySome people can wear the same clothes for like 3 to 4 days.00:19:00JackOh my God man, I wear I've.00:19:02JackBeen wearing the same.00:19:03JackPants for the last four days.00:19:09MayDisgusting, Jack. Sorry.00:19:13HendrickYeah, he also had the same thing. Like when I don't want to go out, you know.00:19:19HendrickStay in the same in in my bathroom. You know, I change my clothes. Me. Yeah. You know, I just.00:19:28HendrickI don't. I don't have a lot of activities outside, you know. So yeah, I mean like because.00:19:34HendrickIt smells good, yeah.00:19:34MayBut you guys are here.00:19:36MayDon't wait. You are still wearing the clothes. You're you are still sweating no matter what the what your, your body still will produce smells.00:19:50MaySo you will.00:19:50JackI smell like a flower. You know? I've never.00:19:53HendrickYeah, I.00:19:55HendrickI I.00:19:58HendrickI did this. You know? I just, uh, save my time to, you know, like, do my laundry because here, you know, we we do laundry by ourselves or if you have a lot of money, you can, you know, just pay for the people to do your laundry. So I just want to manage my I would because here I just do my laundry like one time.00:20:18HendrickIn a week.00:20:18HendrickSo yeah, that's, you know.00:20:21JackI just believe.00:20:23JackI I just like to I like to. OK, so if I so I only only pants, I mean of course like undergarments.00:20:29JackI change every day, right? Of course.00:20:32JackYou know I'm.00:20:32JackNot wearing the same T-shirt or the same sweater every day, but just pants.00:20:37JackBecause once I, once I wear a pair of pants, I don't want to wash them after one time, but I don't want to take out new pants and then sit, put the old pants on a chair, and then I have 5 pairs of pants just sitting on a chair. So I just wear the same pants until they're like three or four times and then I wash them, but I wear them.00:20:57JackEvery day, so my students probably think I only have.00:21:01JackOne pair of pants.00:21:05JackNeck so poor he can't.00:21:07JackAfford another pair of pants.00:21:10MayFor me, Jack, even though I'm just saying.00:21:12MayAt home I will change my house food everyday.00:21:20JackNo, not me.00:21:20MayI I do laundry 3.00:21:23MayTo four times in a week.00:21:25JackWow, OK, you're you win the hygiene game today.00:21:30JackYeah, if this is.00:21:31JackA game may wins the hygiene game I lose.00:21:34MayBecause I cannot tolerate smell. That's.00:21:37JackYeah, Hendrick is in second place, but you're closer to me than you are to me. I'm clearly I'm disgusting. That's the the take away from today's episode of the podcast.00:21:53MayLet's our listener what?00:21:54MayDo they practice in their daily routine?00:21:58MayIt's a it's a hygiene.00:21:59JackYeah.

Title: "Navigating a Complicated Office Romance"Dear Jack,I'm facing a challenging situation at work, and I could really use some guidance. About six months ago, I started developing romantic feelings for a coworker. We work closely together on various projects and have become great friends. It's clear that there's mutual chemistry, and we often find ourselves flirting and sharing personal stories outside of work.The problem is that our company has a strict policy against office relationships, and they can lead to disciplinary action or even termination. I'm torn between my feelings for this person and my desire to maintain a professional and respectful work environment. It's causing me a lot of stress and anxiety, and I'm unsure about how to proceed.I can't ignore my feelings, but I also don't want to jeopardize my job or their job, especially considering how important our roles are to the team. Should I continue to suppress my feelings and prioritize work, or should I talk to my coworker and risk the consequences?I'd appreciate any advice or insights you can provide.Sincerely,Confused ColleagueCheck out The Jack & 'Chill Podcast here!http://atozenglishpodcast.com/episodeshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jack-chill-podcast/id1709902691https://redcircle.com/shows/the-jack-and-chill-podcastPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-04-confused-colleague/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

Dear Jack,I'm a 30-year-old woman who has always been very close to my best friend, Sarah. We've shared countless joys and sorrows throughout the years. However, there's one issue that's causing a strain in our friendship.Sarah recently started dating a guy who seems controlling and possessive. She has gradually distanced herself from her friends, including me, and it's clear that her boyfriend is the reason. He's made comments about not liking her spending time with 'other people' and has even questioned her about our past friendship.I'm deeply concerned about Sarah's well-being and the way her boyfriend is isolating her. I've tried talking to her about it, but she brushes it off, saying he's just 'protective' and that I don't understand their relationship. I'm worried that our friendship will deteriorate further, or that she may be in an unhealthy relationship.How can I help my friend while respecting her choices, and how do I address this issue without pushing her away or damaging our friendship?Sincerely,"Worried and Caring Friend"Check out The Jack & 'Chill Podcast here!http://atozenglishpodcast.com/episodeshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jack-chill-podcast/id1709902691https://redcircle.com/shows/the-jack-and-chill-podcastPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-03-worried-and-caring-friend/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

Dear Jack,I've been married to my husband for six years, and we've always had a strong connection. However, recently, our communication has taken a nosedive. We used to share everything, but now it feels like we're living parallel lives. We barely talk, and when we do, it's usually about mundane things like chores and groceries. I miss the deep conversations and the emotional connection we used to have.I've tried bringing up my concerns, but my husband just brushes them off or becomes defensive. I feel like we're drifting apart, and it's making me question the future of our marriage. What can I do to rekindle the emotional intimacy we once had and get us back on track?Sincerely,Lost and Confused WifeCheck out The Jack & 'Chill Podcast here!http://atozenglishpodcast.com/episodeshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jack-chill-podcast/id1709902691https://redcircle.com/shows/the-jack-and-chill-podcastPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-02-lost-and-confused-wife/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

Dear Jack,I find myself in a bit of a dilemma, and I'm not sure how to handle it. I've been dating someone for a few months, and we really hit it off. Recently, he dropped a bombshell on me by revealing that he's still married, but he's been separated from his spouse for over a year and is in the process of getting a divorce. He assured me that his marriage is over, and he's committed to a future with me. I like this person a lot, but I'm unsure about whether I should continue the relationship, given the complicated situation. What should I do?Sincerely, Confused DaterCheck out The Jack & 'Chill Podcast here!http://atozenglishpodcast.com/episodeshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jack-chill-podcast/id1709902691https://redcircle.com/shows/the-jack-and-chill-podcastPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-01-confused-dater/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.
