The Ones That Got Away

The girls are back, and they can’t agree on what episode number this is, after a chair spin unplugged the last recording :)
They catch you up on everything: a $600 deep-sleep hypnosis recording, a 19-year-old outside The Vault who wanted Lorna’s voice in her voice notes, and a $50 bet on Portugal placed on the advice from a stranger online. There’s also a €5 junior ticket to the Cork match, bought at 31 years of age, and a night that ended with a microphone and speaker belting out The Rattling Bog on McCurtain Street to the sea of red jerseys!

Beverly then tells the story of Aoife’s night out. A 'strange man' in a convertible offers to drive another 'strange man' home, comes back 20 minutes later for Aoife, buys her a McDonald’s, then makes a request about her feet. Aoife sets a firm boundary, finishes her nuggets, and lets her fake boyfriend take the credit. Elsewhere, a man online pays €50 for a phone call with one of your podcast hosts, finds out it’s just a phone call, and asks for his money back! - She did as well because she ain't no thief!!

Then on to this week’s topic, nudity. Lorna dances naked in the woods for a shoot with Alana and asks her mam and dad whether a topless photo can go up to the world wide web. Listen to find out what they said!
The girls go through being told on separate occasions to put their tops on in Malta and in Brighton, they reminisce on the naked tea party in the woods, German saunas, and Berlin’s Kit Kat Club, where a skater boy in a beanie learns the jeans are coming off whether he likes it or not! There’s a round of naked would you rather, and the truth comes out: Beverly can be fully undressed within ten seconds of walking into any hostel room in Southeast Asia.

The main takeaway from this episode : STOP SEXUALISING NUDITY and just appreciate the art that we all are <3

The girls kick off this week’s episode by being incredibly disciplined and keeping their word, not only to themselves but to the Squirrels.

With pre-drinks in tow, the girls arrive at the studio all dolled up and ready for a night out. But of course, work comes first! Priorities!!!

This week, the girls are diving into the joys (and absolute horrors) of living arrangements as an adult.
As we know, Lorna made the move to Sydney while Beverly stayed in Perth.
For the first time in her life, Lorna found herself living with complete strangers, without a familiar face or friend in the house. Lorna opens up about the experience and, in particular, her former Sydney housemate, who, let’s just say, probably should have been living on her own. What started as a conversation about housemates quickly turned into a full-blown therapy session for Lorna.

Beverly then takes us on a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about her time living in London with her ex and the experiences that came with it. She takes us right back to her college days, revealing just how particular she was when it came to living with others. From having her own bowls to very specific collection times, it seems Beverly has always liked things done a certain way.

Enjoy pre drinks with the girls this week! Wooooo x

This episode kicks right in with some impressions from the absolutely brilliant movie, The Emperor’s New Groove, where Lorna is left almost speechless with how well Beverly impersonates one of the characters. If only Beverly could do other accents - is their any voice coaches listening who could help?
Or any castings going for cartoons based in Cork?

We hear the wild tale of Lorna’s friend who used AI to make her perfect boyfriend, posted the pic online and sent everyone back home into a frenzy - so much so that she had to keep prompting new pics because she couldn’t bring herself to confess he wasn’t real.. - this is CRAZY, no? Just goes to show don't believe everything you see on the internet!

Beverly cut her hair into a bob and can’t believe she didn’t do it sooner - and wondered why her “friends” never told her to do it?! She's now wondering can she even trust her friends moving forward?
Lorna takes us back to her days in Cambridge, when she’d do anything for money (well, not ANYTHING, but almost anything) - including a pixie cut and dyed purple hair for a hair show. Oh, and there was a sword involved. Hair holds trauma and NO WONDER!!

The girls also catch up on what they’ve been up to - they both did courses on the SAME weekend! Bev was in Perth doing her Pilates course while Lorna was in Bali training as a Kundalini energy facilitator. You’ve probably heard of Pilates, but if Kundalini is new to you, listen up as Lorna takes us into that world <3

The girls finish up with some gratitudes and affirmations before heading out to shake some ass!

Oh my godddd… the girls are BACK! After a 6-week break (it was 6 weeks, don't fact check us), Beverly and Lorna are finally reunited in the Perth and they are absolutely buzzing to catch up on all their adventures.

First up, Lorna has officially moved to Sydney! She's paying triple the rent compared to Perth but besides that, she's absolutely loving Sydney life. Beverly is holding it down in Perth and has somehow acquired a witch's laugh - blame the stand-up comedy for that one!

Speaking of comedy, Beverly entered a comedy competition and nearly let the imposter syndrome win, but you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone to become the person you want to be… to become THAT GIRL. Lorna flew in to surprise her for it, but let the cat out of the bag and had nobody to blame but herself (and the boy she was texting - it's all HIS fault, obviously).

The girls then get stuck into weddings, marriages, eloping and a brand new category… eloptions. You'll have to listen to figure that one out!

Both girls also headed back to Europe and partied in the best place to party, Berlin. Unfortunately not on the same dates, so they're spilling everything they each got up to. Beverly also went to a big gay rave in London and got roasted online for what she was wearing… or lack of what she was wearing. God forbid women have nipples!

And finally, thrift shopping and 'The Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants'. The girls chat about sharing clothes with strangers who become friends, including how one thrifted dress started a whole friendship between two girls online!

Beverly and Lorna are thrilled to be back and can't thank you all for listening & supporting their podcast <3

Oh my godddddd… it’s the Season 2 finale 🎉

The girls are diving into your anonymous questions from the squirrels and let’s just say… they’re juicy, a little intrusive, and very entertaining.

Nothing is off-limits as the truth comes out and the girls spill ALL!

They’ve had the best time this season and are so grateful for all the love, support, and laughs from you Squirrels. WHAT A LAUGH!

Honestly, this season has been everything. The laughs, the chaos, the oversharing, and most of all - you, the listeners. The support has meant more than we could ever put into words 🥺💛

We’re taking a tiny break (don’t panic), but Season 3 is already calling… and trust us, it’s going to be BIG.

For now, sit back, press play, and enjoy the season finale.

We love you, squirrels 🐿️✨
