Baring it All with Rose and Chrystal
Welcome to Baring It All with Rose and Chrystal. The podcast is where they deep-dive unfiltered into motherhood, mental health, relationships, and conversations about what's happening in their lives as they navigate it.
It's like your two best friends learning, having fun, asking questions about things they wish they knew sooner, laughing and supporting each other through life's ups and downs.
They want to get to know you more about each other and our bodies in general; sometimes it gets emotional, other times spicy, and most of the time their minds are in the gutter.
Join the ride as they unpack taboo topics, chat about everyday life, and learn and talk with incredible guests and industry professionals who have been through it, baring it all by sharing their stories.
Baring it All with Rose and Chrystal
2000s Nostalgia, questionable fashion and bad eyebrows
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let's Chat! send us a message, question or a confession to unpack!
We chat about our not-so-impressive singing abilities and take a lighthearted trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the iconic fashion choices of the early 2000s.
From peplum tops to chunky necklaces, nothing is off-limits as we also ponder whether our paths ever crossed during our retail stints at Diva and Portmans. That's how we kick things off in this hilariously nostalgic episode!
Join us as we laugh our way through the highs and lows of early 2000s fashion trends, like high-waisted skirts and peep-toe wedges, blue eye shadow, orange tans and the ridiculousness of old Facebook photos, that are still there to remind us that it all happened. Remember those daring low-rise jeans and high-rise G-strings? We do, and we're sharing all the embarrassing details! We reflect on how motherhood has transformed our fashion sense and share stories of wardrobe malfunctions and grooming mishaps.
We'll also take you back to the era of flip phones, dial-up internet, and MSN Messenger, marveling at how much personal technology has evolved. From creating MySpace pages to the rise of emojis, nostalgia is the name of the game. And if you're a fan of cowboy romance novels, you won't want to miss our lively discussion on Elsie Silver's "Flawless" and the rugged charm of cowboys. We wrap up with a chat about "Bridgerton," unexpected romances, and our most regrettable early 2000s fashion choices.
This episode is a bit of fun, nostalgia and look back at our lives growing up and going out in the noughties.
Got any old pics of your eyebrow game or fashion shockers? we would LOVE to see them! Tag us or share them over on our Instagram

Nostalgic Fashion Faux Pas and Yodeling
Speaker 1She's working hard for her money.
Speaker 2How hard for the money, I don't actually know. The second part of that lyric Can you?
Speaker 1look it up. What is it? Look it up. She's working hard for her money. She's working hard for her money, she's working hard. And what's the rest of the song? And the money, honey, I don't even. How do we not know the lyrics? Yeah, I don't know, but we've been singing it for like a good couple of weeks. Just that second you ready, let's hear it. Is this a song? It sounds 80s. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, it's coming. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Oh it's coming. Oh, I can't yeah, here she goes. Oh, so hard for the money. It's just, you better be all right. Oh, you better treat her right. You better treat her right, okay, ready.
Speaker 1Oh, that's burning my ears now. Yeah, I actually like that. Oh, it's good, you better treat me, damn right, can I just say? The 80s they had some bangers. They did, they really did. Anyway, guys, welcome back to another episode of Bearing it All with Rose and Crystal. We just got distracted by ourselves, as usual, but we just decided to go with it.
Speaker 2We went rogue.
Speaker 1Because we were cut for a minute. Whoa Did you? That was a bit opera-y, did you like it? Hot, I'm sorry to all of you and your ears, I'm just. I always wanted to be a singer, you know we weren't born to be singers, but, yeah, I can't sing.
Speaker 2Do you know what I always wanted to do? What?
Speaker 1I wanted to yodel. I still yodel-le-le-le. I'm going to wee my pants. I'm literally going to wee my pants. Hold on, it doesn't even go like that. It's yodel-le yodellay, yodellay, yodellay, yodellay, yodellay. It's actually quite an art form.
Speaker 2Yeah, I always wanted to yodel. I do some nights.
Speaker 1I bet you do. I bet you, yodel. Thanks to Davin. Anyway, I actually cleaned my wardrobe out the other day. As you know, your story gave me anxiety. It was, it's still giving me anxiety, because I just put it into a big tub and I've put it in another room because I still don't want to go through it.
Speaker 2Have you decided that you're done with it? Like, is all of that stuff really done with, or are you going to go through that tub again?
Speaker 1What I've done is I've put it all in tub, even stuff that probably shouldn't be in the tub. I just put everything in there because I just left it on the floor, because what happens with me, with my ADHD brain, is I start something and then I lose interest, get distracted, made a reel instead of cleaning and then put it in a bucket because I didn't want to do it anymore. Yeah, but also I just am over the clothes that are in there, like, honestly, I've had stuff in there for three, four years, plus, plus, plus, plus.
Speaker 2I just seen a necklace that you wore in, like 2004.
Speaker 1Well, I thought you know 2004. Yeah, I don't know. Was it 2004?
Speaker 2Could have been 1994. I don't know.
Speaker 1No, I was in school then, so it would have been early 2000s. You know, when we used to dress like corporate lawyers when we wanted to go out to a club.
Speaker 2How did we get around like that why?
Speaker 1did. We think that was cool. Peplum tops.
Speaker 2Peplum tops over like skinny tights or skinny jeans.
Speaker 1Yeah, skinny jeans or a high-waisted skirt.
Speaker 2And a necklace that was going to break your neck off.
Speaker 1It had to be as big and as chunky and as loud as possible.
Speaker 2So in 2000 and let me take you back to here, 2004 or 2006, I worked at Diva. Do you remember Diva? Yes, I remember Diva. That was like the first LaVisa. It was the very first la visa, and the more jewelry you had on, the better for work, right, you would get praised.
Nostalgia for 90s Fashion Trends
Speaker 1I would rock up jingling and jangling like you ain't never seen I used to work at morley portmans and I would go to diva on my lunch break and spend like that was where I wanted to spend all my money. I wonder if we cross paths. I worked at Morley Diva. There you go. I was probably in my peplum top and my high-waisted skirt.
Speaker 2Do you know what I was about to say? Like Portmans was the peplum central.
Speaker 1Mate, you went to Portmans if you wanted a peplum top and a high-waisted skirt or if you wanted work wear. You could do either, because back then you went out like you were going to work. Has Portland changed? Yeah, I think it has. Has it? I feel like you can still get a peplum there. You probably can, and you probably still can get a really decent high-waisted skirt. It's still your work wear destination.
Speaker 2Isn't it hilarious, though, like I, we just did like a bit of a.
Speaker 1Facebook flick through. Oh God, I've got my Facebook up right now, of like the outfits we used to wear. And I'm telling you now, oh Jesus, I actually have pretty much the exact same photo of me like that I'm just looking at a photo of me as a bridesmaid and we were all wearing black corporate dresses and high heels. Like all three bridesmaids are wearing a black dress that they could have wore to work, to an interview, to a funeral, but apparently also to a hen's night.
Speaker 2Wait, was that that was the hen's party. That's a hen's party.
Speaker 1That's her hen's night. And the heels ridiculous. You would not have caught us millennials in a pair of sneakers. It's the peep toe wedge for me. Oh yeah, actually, millennials in a pair of sneakers. It's the peep toe wedge for me. Oh yeah, actually. Do you remember the peep toe wedge? Do I remember the peep?
Speaker 2toe wedge.
Speaker 1Yes, I do, oh, my god, I can find you a photo right here of a peep toe wedge.
Speaker 2I just the bigger, the big belts, the layering, like you would wear like three singlets and one had to be slightly lacy hanging out the top.
Speaker 1Or no, or hanging out the bottom.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1Do you remember the singlets where it was a plain singlet but at the bottom it was a stretchy piece of lace?
Speaker 2That was Supre. Yeah, that was amazing. Did you ever have the top that was black, with the hands on the boobs and it was like white hands?
Speaker 1Yes, of course I did.
Speaker 2Oh, my God. I wore that like every day.
Speaker 1From Supre you had to have the super low rise track pants and they were super wide leg. They had something on the butt as well.
Speaker 2Yeah, like cutie or cutie pie, cutie or princess. Yeah, princess, oh God, it was a princess.
Speaker 1And as well as that, because we loved low rise jeans, we love low rise tracky pants. A lot of us went and got tramp stamps. That's right. I feel sorry. How many butterflies are out there Butterflies? I know someone that had princess tattooed on the back?
Speaker 2Yes, they did.
Speaker 1Yes, they did.
Speaker 2It makes me cringe to this day, or the tribal print yeah, the little tribal, the tribal with the butterfly heart in the middle, yeah, oh if you're a millennial that has a tramp stamp, let us know I'm here for it.
Speaker 1Let us know I want to see bloody pictures. I want to see. I did not go there. Thank the lord, but I did go there with the nike tick eyebrows like I pretty much didn't have an eyebrow, they were just sticks with a little sperm head I don't think I went to the extreme of having very thin eyebrows, but I just didn't have structured eyebrows.
Speaker 2They were very blended with my face. I'm pretty sure I put foundation on top of them. You probably did. Yeah, that mousse, what was it? Dream mousse, dream mousse.
Speaker 1It didn't matter what colour you were, it didn't matter what nationality you were, it didn't matter what colour your body was. Everybody just wore the same colour dream mousse. And it stopped at your neck. At your neck. It didn't go further. Dude, we didn't blend, there was no contouring.
Speaker 2But also the body was orange, as could be. So the body was orange and the face was white and the lips were white. Did you put foundation on your?
Speaker 1lips. No, I didn't actually, to be honest.
Speaker 2I did.
Speaker 1They were white. We didn't actually, to be honest, I did, they were white. We didn't know what blush was, we didn't know what contour was, we didn't. We just were not like. Even if we were attractive teens or attractive like young women, we did not know how to apply makeup like you got to give it to the kids of today, gen z. You got it going on.
Speaker 2I'll tell you. Natalia went to her year four disco today and she had the highlighter going, the bronzer. She did her eyebrows I was like what the heck? And she was using my rare beauty highlighter Of course they know all the cool brands.
Speaker 1We knew one brand and it was a chemist brand. It was Maybelline. It was Maybelline. Maybe she's born with it.
Speaker 2No, it was always Maybelline.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Always. Oh Lord, you could just go back through the memories. I just tried to have a quick squeeze as well.
Speaker 1Wait, is that? No, that wasn't you. No, that's not me, but it's the necklace.
Speaker 2Look at the necklace. I just had a heart attack. I literally had those necklaces. Like I'm telling you, I saw it in your wardrobe anyways the other day, like you had all the necklaces, the bigger the better, babe.
Speaker 1The hoop earrings. Oh my God, the bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe.
Speaker 2Okay, when I started clubbing. So what year did I turn? I don't even know what year I turned 18. I can't remember. I think it was 2003. I, the movie Honey came out I don't even know if that was around that time. I wanted to be Jessica Elba.
Speaker 1Oh, everyone did. I dressed exactly like her Super low rise jeans.
Speaker 2I wanted my hair like her. Yep, I was even trying to do dances in the mirror like her. I was like I'm Jessica Elba.
Speaker 1I loved, was it Misha Barton? Yes, misha Barton. And that she had like. Did she wear the dresses over the jeans? Yes, or the super long tops over pants.
Speaker 2Or was the skirt over jeans? What the heck was that?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2When you look back now, it kind of looks like they went to an op shop and had a fun day in there. That's kind of how it looks like.
Speaker 1Yeah 90s fashion was wild.
Fashion Fails and Style Evolution
Speaker 1It really is coming back, but it's come back better. So the people doing it now they're like I love nineties, nineties, throwback. And I was like girl, you don't have the balls to do real nineties, you don't Go and pluck your eyebrows, you cowards, for a start, and then wear your super low rise jeans. Okay, I had a pair of. Okay, I had a pair I want to stand up and show you, but I can't. I had a pair of low rise jeans that were so low that when I did the zip up, I think the zip was about Three centimetres, three centimetres.
Speaker 1And it was just above the slit of me vag, yeah, so no slip ups could happen. They were so low and they were so wide.
Speaker 2You had to make sure that you had shaved every single hair.
Speaker 1Because any chance they could come out. And what I also have a problem with is we had low-rise jeans with high-rise G-strings. Yes, we were hanging those G-strings out straight out of the pants and the G-string used to have like they'd go into the middle of the G and they were like they had like what do?
Speaker 2you call it diamantes, yeah, or the ones that had like a little hoop, yeah like a little ring in the middle. So it was like oh, they were meant to be seen. I think they were teeth floss ones, though, like full teeth floss or teeth floss Floss? Yeah, but is it tooth floss or teeth floss?
Speaker 1Well, we have teeth, oh yeah, tooth. I like to floss, I don't know, but it was definitely flossing me front and back, mate, but back then I think I had. My vagina seems to be a lot chunkier these days Because I could the size of my G-string you have four babies like this is why, yeah, but my G-string, I swear to God, was like an eye patch. Now, I swear I'd need two patches, one for each flap. Yeah, poor bitch. She's been through a lot.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know the top of a muffin, like if you were to pull the top of a muffin off and put that in my pants.
Speaker 1I knew exactly where you were going. You can see, look how my little fat muffin yeah, that's mine I've got a little fat vagina, it's like I pulled the top of a muffin off yeah, it's delicious.
Speaker 2And then I popped it in my pants.
Speaker 1But that actually is the best bit of the muffin the muffin top it is tasty, it's the tastiest bit. The underneath part is dry yeah.
Speaker 2I would eat it. Oh yeah, mine's moist all day long. No, but seriously, I had the knickers as well, yep, and I'll never forget. I think I still had like a few of them.
Speaker 1You leave them in the bottom of the cupboard.
Speaker 2Yeah, like just for memories, just for memories. You know like I'll never wear that again kind of thing. Because, one, it's not going to fit me anymore and two, I'm here for comfort. Yeah, comfort not speed, I am. I remember my kids seeing I don't know where. It must have fallen out or something. Anyways, my kids were like who the heck is this and where did this come from? Because they've only seen me in granny panties, yeah. So they were like where did this come from, mum?
Speaker 1Oh, I was like that was from my youth. Mama used to wear that when she was cool, when she thought she was cool.
Speaker 1Oh my God, Times have changed, so changed, and they're so much cooler than we were. But we had so much fun. Let's be honest, like nobody has a photo, they used to call me crack. I used to work at Betts, betts Shoes. I worked at Betts. Yeah, I worked there for years. It was like my first proper amazing job and I loved it. But they used to call me crack as a joke sometimes, because I, your butt crack would hang out, my butt crack, well, my G-string would like. I would have to hold onto the back of my pants while I was bending down because my G-string would be loud and proud at work. But it was okay because the tops were so long usually, so I could get away with it.
Speaker 1But they were the days, but no one had a photo of that. No one had a photo of any of the stupidity that we used to get up to, and I kind of love that and why did we not take full-length photos?
Speaker 2I'm looking through my, I'm looking through my Facebook and they're all like from my breast up yeah, we don't.
Speaker 1And you know what else. How about the arm, the? Side arm we everybody knows the side arm we still can't help ourselves. I still find myself popping a shoulder. But back then it was extreme. We would lean, literally lean over, like the leaning tower of Pisa. You'd pop that shoulder down, mate. So you get that slender arm.
Speaker 1And the collarbone Make sure the collarbone's popping out and we'd all do it. So you'd all be lined up with your girlfriends and you'd all be doing like either the same arm or the opposite arm and the leg, yeah oh god, what about the face contouring?
Speaker 2remember when that came out and it was like we're drawing brown lines all over yourself pretty much.
Speaker 1We look like we were smudged, but you didn't blend it like ever we had a problem. Hey, we really didn't know how to blend anything I'm trying to find this photo.
Speaker 2It's, it's fucking hilarious. I went to my friend's wedding. Lady Gaga had just become like quite big.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 2I bought this dress that had like boning in it and I'm talking boning like an umbrella. Right the top of it was like an umbrella.

Speaker 1I need you to find it. I'm trying to find it.
Speaker 2It was one of our friend's weddings. And I thought I looked like the coolest bish on the street. Look.
Speaker 1I have to say I feel like we've had a glow up, Like I look at myself now and I think I look better now. Oh, 100. I'm happier now At my age than I did when I was in my 20s. God, there's one of me here with Nike tick sperm eyebrows, blue eyeshadow.
Speaker 2The blue eyeshadow and I thought I looked like the shit and my tan.
Speaker 1Why was I orange?
Speaker 2Wait, look here. What's that pose?

Speaker 1That's really cute, though, yeah, craig had no idea. When I met Craig, craig was wearing New Balance sneakers everywhere and corduroy pants. Hold on, though he laughs in my face now because he's like babe, guess who was ahead of their time. New Balance is back and corduroy is back and I was like, yeah, but back then, mate, I barely wanted you to fucking stand next to me. I was like you wear those shoes out again and we're done and he used to lose at laughing yeah.

Nostalgic Conversations About the Past
Speaker 2Like we had shitty phones. What did we?
Speaker 1have. I took out in my purse a full digital camera. So I used to have my Nokia 5110. Oh no, I didn't have a Samsung Flip, and the smaller the phone the better. And then I had my digital camera, my pink digital Motorola camera that I would pull out and we'd try to take a selfie with in the club. Was it a phone or a camera? No, so you also had a camera. I had a digital camera that I took out with me.
Speaker 2I had a Canon professional camera and I used to take it around.
Speaker 1It might have been a Canon and I had the Motorola flip phone, the pink phone Flip. Oh, they were cute, though what was it? Moto Motorola, no, moto Moto.
Speaker 2It was this, hello Moto.
Speaker 1That was it. That was it. Remember that, yeah.
Speaker 2Hello Moto. Oh, remember that three shop that opened up? Yeah, it was like the three phones. Yes, yes, and everyone lined up for this fucking ugly phone. And it was the first ever like contract that you could get into and we all signed up for it. And then we're like I don't know how we're going to pay this bill.
Speaker 1No, I had a Nokia. My first phone was a Nokia 5110. And then I was on one of those plans where you could call your friend for 10 minutes for free and then you'd hang up, and then you'd call back and do another 10 minutes, and then you'd hang up. Did you set a timer? No, we'd look, you're like oh, it's nine minutes 50. We've got to go, I'll bring you back. Oh my God. So every ten minutes you'd call each other back because it was, or else it was a dollar a minute.
Speaker 2Hold on a minute. I was also having this conversation with my kids, right? They don't know what it's like to have dial-up internet. They have no idea, right, and you're screaming at your sibling get off the phone. At your sibling, get off the phone.

Speaker 1No, there was some really good ones GTG, gtg, gotta go guys. And we were the queen of emojis. We still are. I still use all the emojis and apparently that's like no one uses emojis. Now my kids tell me they just educate me all the time they can tell I'm a mile away. I used to have a side part. I used to have a comb over side part. Yeah, can no one ever let me do that again. It looked terrible Really. I reckon I look better with the middle part, but but it was my kids that made me do it.
Speaker 1They were like mum the side part's out, it's out. Try the middle part.
Speaker 2I feel like many people have a side part anymore. No one.
Speaker 1No, I haven't seen it for ages. But also, you have to train your hair to go to a middle part. It doesn't want to. You had to make it go over there.
Speaker 2But God, there's fucking. We've gone for days and the quiff.
Speaker 1What do you mean? One or two? I had one, the bigger the better. I used to have an insert that went under my hair, so I could put the hair over the little foam piece, so it would sit up for days, and then I'd put on my peplum top, my big neck lace and my skirt and my peep toe shoes and I was ready and she was slaying.
Speaker 2I still win. I've actually me and Davin were watching it last night.
Speaker 1I love it. That's where the orange, like the tans, came from. The big hair yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 2It was like the first kind of reality show for us, but even the Kardashians back there were just as bad they were just as bad.
Speaker 1Right the, the fashion was just as bad.
Speaker 2Yep, we've come a long way.
Speaker 1Well, we're as old as Kim, just about. So Kim's 42 or 43 this year. Yeah, she's still a hot bitch. Yeah, but, mate, she got the money. I need that song again. She's working hard for the money. We're working hard for the money, but we're not Kim, so we have less money. I'm about to go and put my feet on the internet. You can't. No, you probably can't.
Speaker 2Somebody might get turned on by my space between my two toes. You can stick something in there.
Speaker 1Okay, yeah, I've got to remind you I really don't like feet, the thought of it, they're actually really sweaty right now too.
Speaker 2That's great so we'll just munch on some snakes.
Speaker 1I know, I know we're so professional. We don't have a producer. You can clearly tell that we just do what we want. Go rogue, imagine if we had one. They would be fucking hating us by now.
Speaker 2If you guys could see us right now. We're both wearing loungewear. I loungewear, I'm wearing.
Speaker 1Peter Alexander loungewear. I'm going to say it's more chic than pyjamas. It is chic. She actually looks really classy, whereas I look like a mismatched queen. You look like an 80s workout video.
Speaker 2I do. Do you want?
Speaker 1me to do some moves With the socks and the jumper.
Speaker 2I used to be a aerobics instructor. What's that one?
Speaker 1Oh my god, I love that. What does he do? It's got Jamie Lee Curtis in it, yes, oh, what is he doing it?
Speaker 2Let's get physical.
Speaker 1I don't know, let's get physical, physical Actually look like that. Okay, right now I actually do look like that. I'm saying you do. You look like an 80s gym instructor. Well, I was a gym instructor and I was an aerobics instructor and I loved it. I grew up watching like six o'clock what was it called Aerobics of style with my aunties and I could get up and do it like watch.
Speaker 2Oh my God, I reckon we'd lose some serious weight doing that you would. Honestly those freaking 80s women were fit as fuck, john Trump.
Speaker 1I love that. I know exactly what you're talking about he dry rates. Yes, and they're both giving each other like fuck looks, yeah the eyes and their sweating yeah. I am actually wearing scrunched down socks. They were the socks of my dreams that my mum and dad never brought for me. They were like you know. They were $12 for a pair or something, or even maybe $8 or something, and I really wanted them. They didn't buy them for me, so I brought them for myself.
Speaker 2Now that they've come back. Here it is. It is John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis in Perfect 1985, the year we were born.
Speaker 1What's the song called? Oh, it was on. What's the song called? Oh, she was hot. It's that one. Oh my God, his junk is nearly falling out of his shorts. It's that one. Yeah, I know. Oh my God, oh my God, jamie Lee Curtis' bod and her, how did her vag Stay? In that In that Look at it. I know, look God, she's got legs for days. No one. Oh, my flap would have just been straight out rogue. That's me.
Speaker 1Oh, love it, oh God I knew I had seen it, but I couldn't remember the song, because the song's not as memorable.
Speaker 2Oh no, but the scene is memorable.
Speaker 1But that's actually. If I was wearing a leotard on top of this, I would be pretty much like that 80s aerobics instructor right now. But I have the coolest jumper. I actually love this brand so much.
Speaker 2This senorita needs a margarita.
Country Cowboy Romance Book Club
Speaker 1I know because tequila's my favourite, so Sabi Store. Actually, ash is from perth and her husband, jace uh, designs all these by hand, so he paints all the original prints just giving them a plug, guys. But if you want to you know what do you call it?
Speaker 2sponsor us, feel free yeah, we could do some sexy t-shirts while we're recording we're like anyone.
Speaker 1We're like, um say, very professional. Just hit the mic with my um red bull can, and it's probably like nearly seven o'clock at night, which clearly I'm not sleeping to that also I'm not probably going to edit that sound out, so I hope you don't mind. You know, we just are the way we are we bear it all? I'm just thinking of like t-shirt prints, now this is where my brain goes something like she works hard for her money that's a good one.
Speaker 2That's a good one, but also something like let's get physical. She know how to fandangle yeah, she's fandangling.
Speaker 1Oh, that reminds me of my cowboy.
Speaker 2See, I don't know, go, go, go, talk about it. Okay, she's going to have to.
Speaker 1I know, okay, I'm reading a new book. Guys, I can't even remember what it's called Heartbreaker, one of them Fearless, heartless.
Speaker 2The guy's name is what is it again?
Speaker 1Rhett, rhett.
Speaker 2Okay, I'm going to find it If that ain't a country name anyway, can't remember the series.
Speaker 1Um, clearly I've just picked it up and I started reading it. My friend ash it's back to ash ash gives me all the book recommendations. I'm just going into her message now because I'll know the name of the book.
Speaker 2Someone's probably read it before I need to read how to read for beginners oh okay, no okay, it's flawless.
Speaker 1Iless. I'm reading Flawless by Elsie Silver Now. This is just like it's a series of books, so I'm only on the first one. It's about a cowboy. And never in my life or my wildest dreams would I think that I'd start fantasising about a country boy. But now I'm thinking about him in his assless chaps.
Speaker 2All right, give me a rundown of the book.
Speaker 1So far okay, so I haven't finished it, but it is like a corporate city girl who has to look after or go and pretty much babysit this bull rider. He's a very famous bull rider, championship bull rider, but he's kind of tainted his reputation. So they're his agent and the agent's daughter has um, has been assigned to him to keep him in line, but she's a really established, really well um educated woman and he's a rugged, handsome, chiseled country boy bull rider and she falls in love with him well, I wouldn't say it's love at first sight.
Speaker 1But so it goes from two point of views his point of view and her point of view. And in books they go in detail. They won't just be like. It's not like when you're watching tv they tell you like oh, you can see that he thinks she's hot, but you can only see it. Yeah, you're hearing it there. He's like oh, my god, I'm going hard, like just looking at her tight ass and she's doing the same thing. She's looking at her tight ass and she's doing the same thing. She's looking at his chiseled body. She's looking at his like package. She's imagining him in bed.
Speaker 2It's just like assless chaps come at me, are we talking about like sex in the stables? Yeah, all right. Yeah, all sorts of Bento regate in the paddock somewhere.
Speaker 1Yeah, like we're pegging a fence and next minute she's getting pegged.
Speaker 2Is it pegged Pegging? I don't know if that's the right word, but fandangling. No, Fandangling is a do-it-yourself no like these books.
Speaker 1They're sexy, they just like. This one's a little bit more spicy than the last one and I'm here for it. I don't know, I just haven't tried. It's like soft porn, I swear to God. For girls Like you start imagining it in your own head, in your own way. You're not given someone that you don't think is attractive, like you know, like if it's on TV, that's the person they've chosen for the role, whether or not you're attracted to it. Like your country man might be, you know your Davin, but he's a country boy. Imagine Davin as a country boy.
Speaker 2You never know mate With a piece of straw hanging out of his mouth.
Speaker 1Like Craig as a country boy.
Speaker 2No, but Craig I can picture as a country boy.
Speaker 1Actually I can picture Craig as a bit of a country boy.
Speaker 2He's got that like rugged real down-to to earth If he put on like real, worn in jeans that are a bit dirty, like he's just rolled through a paddock, yeah. Yeah, a white wife beater singlet.
Speaker 1No, not a white. I'm not imagining a single.
Speaker 2I'm imagining that Listen my cousins worked on the country farm and they wore jeans and wife beaters.
Speaker 1No, that's not what I'm With their work boots.
Speaker 2They're work boots.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2And also like some sort of tartan shirt over the top.
Speaker 1Yes, I want a tartan shirt. I want tight worn-in jeans and I want cowboy boots worn-in cowboy boots with an old oversized cowboy hat.
Speaker 2That stinks because it's so sweaty.
Speaker 1No, I don't want it to stink, I want him to be very clean, but I want him to have that musty. She wants him to be clean but dirty at the same time. Yes, dirty minded, but a bit dirty on the outside. But when he smells, like you know, the sweat smell, that's like you like it.
Speaker 2No, what do you mean? I don't like the smell of sweat.
Speaker 1Well, I like the smell of Craig when he's like a little bit sweaty, not like pongy sweaty, but it's his smell, like his weird.
Speaker 2Yeah, I do get the his smell kind of thing.
Speaker 1But that's how I'm imagining Rhett. Okay, I'm not thinking about like him being like shoveling shit. Yeah, I'm just thinking about him bending me over shit. Have you told Craig about this book? Yeah he cracks up and he's like are you for real? This is what you're reading? And then I read him a passage and he was like dear God.
Speaker 2Do you?
Speaker 1No, but I think like we should, craig, get some arseless chaps. You've heard it here today and I am yours.
Speaker 2Oh, my God.
Speaker 1And I'll work hard for my money.
Speaker 2This is seriously. I think we're going to have to start a book club.
Speaker 1I think we will.
Speaker 2Like Rose, is going to have to talk about her book that she reads.
Speaker 1Yes, so once I'm finished this one, I'll download. Yeah.
Speaker 2Yes, so once I'm finished this one, I'll download. Yeah, yes, because she's finished her Dragon Rider.
Speaker 1I finished my Dragon Rider. I finished Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, and Iron Flame is just like a filler book. It just gives you the information. So I felt like the second book. It was good, but it wasn't like the first book. It's like the filler. It gives us all the information we didn't know. It gives us all the information we didn't know, gives us a little bit more story and then ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.
Speaker 2And.
Speaker 1I'm like fuck.
Speaker 2Well off topic here, because obviously I'm not reading books, but I am watching TV shows.
Speaker 1I know you do love good TV, so.
Speaker 2Binged OC Waiting for Selling Sunset.
Speaker 1I love Selling Sunset.
Speaker 2Kardashians just started and it was only one episode. Kind of watched it Bit boring.
Speaker 1I haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 2It was a tiny bit boring, but the Bridgertons, Bridgertons what in the name of God were they doing? Releasing four episodes and then being like bye bitches? You've got to wait, Dearest reader. I'm telling you, we're doing this, we are.
Speaker 1We're definitely going to have our own version of Lady Whistledown.
Speaker 2Four episodes.
Speaker 1Okay, so didn't it take I think it was three years until they released this season? Then they released the trailer, like weeks months before it came out, then they released four episodes, and months before it came out Then they released four episodes, and of course I binge watched them in one night say up until 2 bloody 30 in the morning, and they take till.
Speaker 1there's a spoiler alert maybe so if you haven't watched Bridgerton yet and you want to stop listening, so then they wait till the last episode, and it's like five minutes before it finishes. Exactly to get to the juicy bit.
Speaker 2I was like you dogs. You dogs, even the sex scenes were very PG.
Speaker 1Yeah, they were a bit PG in this one, but I feel like the first four episodes because they call it friends to lovers I feel like the first four episodes are friends and how they turn to lovers. So I think the last four has to be about lovers. I love these two as well, like I love the last four has to be about lovers. I love these two as well, like I love the two characters. I love Penelope and I just love that she's a wallflower. She's like the regular girl. This one is going to be so relatable in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1She's apparently like in the books or whatever it was, like she's actually been a spinster. She's been on the shelf for 10 years.
Speaker 2There's a part of me that's like really disappointed, because she's loved the boy next door forever right, yeah how bad, not how badly did he treat her? But he never really looked at her like she was anything. He even went to the point of like saying to people there's no way he would ever date her. It kind of like like this happens in real life, all the time right. Girls have crushes on guys for so long.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2He makes fun of her. I'll never date her, yeah. And then what? All of a sudden they have one kiss and he's infatuated with her.
Chats About Relationships and Memories
Speaker 1I don't know. I think it's going to come out that I have a feeling that he has liked her for longer, but he sort of had a glow up the season before and then he went away and traveled, and so they're both real geeks, I just feel like he's a fuck boy. I don't think he is. I don't know. I love Nicola. I can't pronounce her surname, jesus. Which one's that? This is the lead Penelope. Penelope, yeah what. This is the lead Penelope.
Speaker 2Penelope, yeah the lead what about his sister.
Speaker 1What's her name? There's a few, there's eight Bridget.
Speaker 2The one that just doesn't want to get married ever, she finds a love interest apparently.
Speaker 1She does, but she'll have her own season for that.
Speaker 2Okay, I'm trying to think of her name, but even the brother that married the Indian princess or Mauritian there. There she is, the Viscount and the Viscountess. Is this? From when?
Speaker 1they get married. Yeah, that's them two. They're gorgeous, yeah them two.
Speaker 2I love them. They're a bit PG too.
Speaker 1Do you think no? Yeah, well, how much can they show?
Speaker 2I feel like the first, very first season, the first season they did go there a lot harder.
Speaker 1I reckon they went there. You know which one I liked out of Bridgerton so much. Have you seen, Queen Charlotte?
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1I love that.
Speaker 2I wish there was more to that.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, me too, Like it was one of my faves. I was like I love them.
Speaker 2I mean not going to lie. Yeah, what's her name? Is it Annalise?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2I'm ready to watch the next four already.
Speaker 1I'm ready. When's it coming out? Bridgerton, season three Let me have a look. So we're looking at three seasons. June 13th oh, so we're coming up, it's in two weeks.
Speaker 2Put that in your diaries Eloise, eloise, eloise.
Speaker 1Eloise is oh, I love her. Same. I don't think in the first four episodes of this last season. In this season should I say she had enough, like she's funny, usually there wasn't a lot of her.
Speaker 2No, because she's still like annoyed at Penelope.
Speaker 1But I think they've also introduced so many different storylines in this season. So, many different, like spin-offs are going to come and we've just got. They're giving us a taste of everybody.
Speaker 2But also the bird man.
Speaker 1Who's the bird man?
Speaker 2The one that Penelope and the other girl were trying to like get in with.
Speaker 1Oh, I thought she was nearly going to go there.
Speaker 2The nature guy.
Speaker 1The nature dude Didn't hate him, but I liked how much he respected her, like as a person. Yeah, like I know. But it was weird because he wanted to go away for years and years at a time and just be like he talks to trees, yeah, and then leave her there to be unloved and on, alone and alone, yeah, Probably pop a few babies and that's it.
Speaker 1Yeah, he'd just come impregnate her and leave again, which was kind of weird but it might've been of the time, but I kind of liked that he gave her the attention and the respect of who she was upon meeting her straight away. Yeah, and I like that it kind of made him what's his name? Jealous, colin, yeah, yeah, about bloody time, colin.
Speaker 2Yeah, but that's what I mean. Like does it take another man showing a woman interest before you're like, hey, I actually like this person, yeah, I know. Or like does it take actually kissing somebody to be like I actually like this person, yeah, I know. Or like does it take actually kissing somebody to be like I actually like this person that's true.
Speaker 1Well, sometimes it does actually sometimes it does that was actually how me and Davin started.
Speaker 2What do you mean he? I just totally forgot so we were friends yeah my friend was dating his best. My best friend and his best friend were together, so we just went out clubbing as a big group. Okay, davin at this time had about three girls on the go, I think Metro, oh.
Speaker 1Metro nightclub Yep Yep.
Speaker 2They had red bar, blue bar, you know all the bar colours. Yes, yep, he'd have a girl at each bar, okay, Anyways, this one night he said to me this girl is following me around, she won't stop, can you help me? I was like no worries. She came around the corner. As soon as I made eye contact with her, I pinned Davin against the wall and just made out with him okay, now when you did that yep did you?
Speaker 1was it just like spontaneous? You're like screw it, this is what I'm gonna do. Yes, or you were attracted to him a bit.
Speaker 2I hadn't even thought about it.
Speaker 1You hadn't thought about it.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1Okay, then when you hooked up, did it continue on then?
Speaker 2It continued on from that day forward.
Speaker 1So you hooked up and you were like, oh see, a kiss can change it all.
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying. I'm such a hypocrite.
Speaker 1That is true, oh my God.
Speaker 2So I did kiss him and then after that I was like, oh hey.
Speaker 1I really like you.
Speaker 2I think a kiss can cement the deal too, and I had also just gotten out of a relationship with somebody who I was infatuated with.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 2And he kept telling me all these stories about him and his best mate and how his best mate was like shaving his back and his legs for him.
Speaker 1He's gay.
Speaker 2He was gay.
Speaker 1There you go.
Speaker 2I think he married that guy. I don't know, but I just remember being like something and he just that's why you were infatuated with him.
Speaker 1He was never really that interested in me.
Speaker 2No, it was just like I was the side piece, like I was allowed to hold his hand, but that was it. Like don't kiss me out in public, like yeah.
Speaker 1I think he he wasn't 100%, he didn't 100% probably know himself.
Speaker 2No. But then when he told me like that his friend rubbed like shaving foam on his back and legs and was shaving it. I was like that's a bit weird.
Speaker 1Did he not think that at first? Or he hooked up with him after?
Speaker 2Surely he knew how far how long.
Speaker 1I feel like he was undercover how long after you did he end up with him?
Speaker 2oh, don't know I just remember all of us coming to this thing of like, oh yep, he's definitely undercover, he's not ready to come out. And then I just remember one day seeing a post of him and I was like, oh he out he out with his friend that it was shaving his back he's so out, there you go.
Speaker 1You hooked up with Dav, and the rest is history. Oh, that's like me and Craig. 20 years. Yeah, 20 years next year. I was 20 this year. We went to GBT the first time. Gbt, gbt, gbt.
Speaker 2Grand Boulevard Tavern in Joondalup it was the place to go. It was the place to be.
Speaker 1It didn't matter if you didn't live in Joondalup. You would travel from God knows and line up for hours.
Speaker 2It was like the Malaloo. Remember, the Malaloo was so good. Yes, you used to go off. Like the places, have like moments where they're cool and the Cottesloe Hotel.
Speaker 1I think the Cottesloe's still pretty good.
Speaker 2The codicil we used to line up for like two hours.
Speaker 1Yeah, that was the same as GBT All the way out, all the way down, and there was a couple of bars and clubs that you could go to after like dusk. That's when me and Craig hooked up for the first time at the GBT. Oh wow, so we went to go get everybody some drinks and we ended up drinking all the drinks and then hooking up. Oh, and yeah, the rest is.
Speaker 2Do you ever disappear to the car?
Speaker 1After the GBT Sorry, Dad.
Speaker 2We would literally be in metros and we'd be like who's got car keys?
Speaker 1We'll be back God, yeah, no, we weren't coming back.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1God. I distinctly remember doing something for Craig for the first time in the car in the car park across the road from GBT. He's never forgotten either.
Speaker 2It's been like one of the highlights. Listen, we lived with our parents back then.
Speaker 1Yeah, we were still at home.
Speaker 2It was the car and Craig didn't even know. Yeah, so what? I couldn't risk it? You can't creep out of his house at 2am, no.
Speaker 1But it was a good time, good times, good memories, and we went every weekend my girlfriend Renee met her husband at the GBT. Oh she loved At old GBT she loved a bald man and we were all dancing in a circle. They both had eyes for each other and I am a good wingworm woman and you would think she's not said wingworm.
Speaker 2I'm a good wingworm.
Speaker 1I don't have one of those? I don't have one of those. I'm a good wingworm.
Speaker 2I'm a good wingwoman.
Speaker 1I have been with Craig since I was 20 years old and all of my friends were single for so long After that. Like so all I ever did was like you have the confidence when you're with someone that you're happy with, yeah. And so of course I was like, hey, how you going? Have you met my friend? I pushed Renee into her husband and I was like, just fucking dance with him and they're married and they've been together ever since.
Speaker 2Match maker. Match maker make me a match, find me a fine, catch me a catch.
Speaker 1What the hell? Honestly, we should have been singers. We're tapped.
Speaker 2We could have been like backup singers we could have. Yeah, destiny's Child, watch out that ship may have sailed Anyway, oh my God.
Speaker 1Here we were thinking we were going to have a little quiet short episode about our fashion and 50 minutes later we're still here chatting shit. But we're going to leave it at that.

Remember it was bootleg jeans, but we wanted to wear the boots we wanted to wear high, high boots so we had to tuck our jeans into the boots.
Speaker 2No, you would fold it.
Speaker 1You'd fold it down and then fold it over.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1Yes, so we want to see all of that.
Speaker 2Not to mention laying over an ironing board and straightening your hair with the goddamn iron.
Speaker 1Yep. Honestly, I remember doing that and then having the crease where it hit your head. Yep. And curling your hair and never brushing it out, oh, or you'd plait it, you'd put it into braids and then you'd let the braids out, because you just never can't curling it.
Speaker 2I wore that hairstyle last week.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I like. Yeah, that's cute though. Yeah, I rocked it. Two thousand baby. Oh the crimp. I used to crimp my hair all the time back because I love Dolly Parton.
