E61 | Kombucha, Beauty Shops, and Reggae Vibes

from Armchair Authentic · host Rhett and Justin

Remember when your fashion choices seemed brilliant but that brilliance was perhaps only seen in the eyes of the ones donning the threads? Rhett and Justin take you on a nostalgia-fueled journey through their teenage adventures in 90s fashion and cultural exploration that will have you simultaneously cringing and laughing out loud.Their quest for personal style led to some spectacularly questionable decisions - from Justin's earnest desire for dreadlocks (despite having no idea what maintaining them actually entailed) to their matching outfit of bibs (short overalls) paired with rainbow-soled Dikembe Mutombo shoes. The highlight? Their unforgettable visit to a beauty shop full of women who couldn't contain their laughter at these two white teenagers earnestly asking for dreadlocks.The conversation seamlessly flows between fashion disasters and food trends as Rhett compares kombucha to "a science experiment" while Justin defends his love for the probiotic drink despite its slimy texture. This debate about acquired tastes parallels their discussions of musical influences, with Rhett reminiscing about his reggae-inspired singing voice that had everyone requesting his signature "come on, come on" songs - delivered in his best Caribbean accent despite being from Birmingham.Through laughter and honest reflection, Rhett and Justin reveal how these experiences were essential parts of discovering their identities. Whether it's debating the proper initials of ON Cloud running shoes or recounting how Rhett's dad shaved their band name "24-7" into Justin's hair, each story highlights the universal experience of finding yourself through sometimes misguided but always authentic self-expression.Ready to feel better about your own questionable style phases?
