Episode 6 | Men’s Grooming, First Dates & Modern Masculinity ft. Ryan O’Kane

from glossy* podcast · host Jazmyne van Gosliga and Hannah Pickering

In this episode of Glossy*, Jaz and Hannah sit down with their first ever guest, award-winning actor Ryan O’Kane (aka Jaz's husband), for a real and unfiltered conversation around men’s style, grooming and self-image. From questionable first date outfits to skincare routines, cosmetic procedures and hair transplants, the three unpack what’s changing for men in the beauty and grooming space, and what still feels a little taboo. Ryan shares his own journey, including his current routine, mullet ambitions and a very questionable trip to LA in jandals. There’s also a side mission to find Jaz’s brother Aston a Nelson-based partner, because why not. ___________ SHOW NOTES In this episode we cover: First date fashion, what’s acceptable and what’s a red flag The rise of the male grooming industry Male vs female skin and whether “men’s skincare” is just marketing Ryan’s skincare journey and current routine The shift in masculinity, from traditional to modern Cosmetic procedures for men and what’s becoming more normal Hair transplants, where people are going and why Shave it or save it, the ultimate hair debate Ryan’s mullet plans and personal style evolution Male makeup, beards and peptides vs the gym ___________ PRODUCTS MENTIONED La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser La Roche-Posay moisturiser Triumph & Disaster Go-To Skincare / Bro-To ___________ PEOPLE & REFERENCES Ryan O’Kane Paul Mescal Zoë Foster Blake Timothée Chalamet, Tom Holland, Tom Hardy, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Leonardo DiCaprio Jason Statham, Patrick Stewart Martin Crowe, Shane Warne Steve Carell / Michael Scott ___________ EXTRA Single in Nelson?
