    Episode 85: Portaloo Moment

    The Cambridge Half Marathon was a bit windy – and this episode similarly gets your fave hooney half-mara Mooneys all of a flap. Missy has a mad dash into the mystery of the EM dash – and its over-saturation in AI-generated content. She even drops in some sneaky NATO phonetic alphabet along the way. More importantly – if you were a piece of punctuation, which would you be? Whisking right along, Hannah whips up some chat about the correct topping order for scones – hammering, or should I say Hannahing, home that whipped cream is light and airy. The kōrero is tasty – and just like a pie from the BP after a big run – it’s waiting for you to gobble it up.

    Episode 84: A long, sweaty affair

    If you survive the pointless prong (projected, pointed, parts) prattle at the top of this episode,  followed by lengthy ‘runners rage’/ Parkrun chat  - well done. Slinging the shout-outs and emanating good vibes, Hannah chips in with some sodium chat. Na, she’s really letting it rip about chippies! Crisps, chips, chippies - whatever you want to call them, these salty snacks (not Missy) can help you regulate the fluid inside and outside your cells (depends on the sweat rate, though). Missy then brings the mystery and murders some mean Cluedo conversation, a game that has extended beyond the bounds of its board - it’s an institution! Go on, give this tasty chat a hoon and think fast thoughts for us!

    Episode 83: Thoughts on the room?

    Lock in, cash up, and cheque out this week's (safe)cracking episode. TOAR has often been called ‘the Swiss Army Knife of podcasts’ (that’s a lie, no one calls it that), and this episode is no different.Key points: Special bank vault concrete has zero slump, and this episode is equally solid. Nothing is more trustworthy than a round door, BUT you don’t want a saggy vault door. Hannah can’t say the word ‘submarine’ correctly. Missy gives some gold goss on Bank Vaults, unlocking a wealth of facts that you can bank for later. Hannah excels herself and explains IT poorly…Just kidding, she has a jolly good go at celling the value of Microsoft Excel - the GOAT of all spreadsheet programmes. It’s a sheeting good time. Steal a few minutes and give it a listen!

    Episode 82: It was epic

    We ran… and ran… and ran. Six hours and 50 kilometres later, the hooning Mooneys are officially ultramarathoners! In this episode, Hannah and Missy unpack the absolute scenes from Laps at the Lakes—their biggest running challenge yet! There were highs, lows, and some serious character-building moments. Along the way, they tackle the age-old question: is a hotdog a sandwich? (Spoiler alert: Hannah gives it a go, but Missy has strong, possibly unchangeable, opinions.) Somehow, things spiral from sandwiches to golf, with Missy swinging hard into some golf chat. From club sammies to golf clubs, this episode really has it all. Smash it in your ear holes, it’s a hole in one.

    Episode 81: Yeah, nah, all good.

    The beacons are lit! On the brink of their longest run yet, Hannah gets vulnerable, and Missy goes full therapist mode, she quotes Tina Fey from Mean Girls, but is unable to say ‘insubstantive.’ This episode is all that and a half as Missy talks at length about the Great Wall of China. Hannah gets moo-ey with it, and she rings on about cow bells (the ding-a-ling kind). “Up the Chiefs!!!” And “Up the Mooney’s!!” as they gear up for a 6-hour running event! See you on the other side.

    Episode 80: The receptacle in which the transformation occurs

    This week, Missy sounds gross, looks gross, and feels gross. Hannah tries not to say ‘like’, but instead proclaims “mime!” around 6:38 minutes into the episode for no clear reason?? There’s a passionate ode to the GOAT of every Kiwi kitchen: the humble kettle. Hannah pours forth some ‘fun sentences’ and steamy chat. Feat the rendition of ‘I’m a little teapot’ you’ve all been bubbling for. Then it’s a hop, skip, and a jump into Missy’s triple jump chat. Does she foul or does she fly? We’ll let you decide. Missy doesn’t edit real life, but thank goodness she edits this podcast, because wow. It’s a loose kettle of fish.

    Episode 79: Inkblots & Brain Knots

    This week, Missy and Hannah take a hop, skip, and a jump into the curious corners of the mind. Missy explores one of psychology’s most iconic methods—the Rorschach test—and how our brains find meaning in inkblots (callback to the pareidolia ep). Meanwhile, Hannah brings the riddles, the enigmas, and the conundrums, challenging us to think sideways - “If I say pineapple, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?” This episode is far from perfect bilateral symmetry and just like the Rorschach test, it lacks reliability and objectivity, but go on, give it a listen. It might just tickle your fancy. (Feet a sneaky toe update at the top).

    Episode 78: Jimjams ahoy

    It’s a dressing gown situation served with yet another side of foul foot chat. These sasspots are in full swing (what the quokka is going on) as Hannah meanderthals her way through some left-handed chat, prompting important questions such as do platypuses have hands? And could a cat throw a punch?Never mind the gasbagging, this episode is gaslamping because Missy lamps it rip on the ever silent sentinel that is the street lamp. Is it gasbagging or gaslighting? Either way, it’s lit.A bulbous episode brimming with chaotic babble and nonsense. Irreverent. Illuminating. Questionable. Just how we like it.
