Is there anything more sinister than a washing line laden with sheets, creepily twisting in the wind? Missy singing an excerpt from The Sound of Music on this podcast for the 80th time, or Hannah saying ‘guesstimate’ just because she knows Missy won’t like it, could be serious contenders. This week kicks off with a detailed Parkrun update that no one asked for. Missy then spends waaaaay too long trying to guess what Hannah’s thought will be, but by golly gosh, is it worth the wait! Following Missy’s

Hannah’s run route isn’t super efficient, and neither is this podcast… But who cares! You’re not here for efficiency - you’re here for vibes, which are a-plenty this week. Once more, Hannah can’t do maths or maps, but she brings all the razzmatazz. When she’s not editing out a swear word, Missy has a jolly jovi-al jabber about crayons (Hannah’s spirit art utensil). Hannah turns up the heat and blows some hot air around about Airfryers, serving up some crispy chat. This episode just makes scents, so,

This week, Missy is brave and starts in the front pack of runners at Parkrun. The honourable Hannah Hooney shakes it out, shakes it off, and shakes it up with some shake out run chat. Missy has no objections and lives out her law degree dreams as she takes you on a journey through jury service. Shout out to our lawyery listeners (if we have any) and everyone else who’s hooked and cooked on TOAR, we appreciate you! And, as we enter spooky season, everybody scream for gluten-free lemon loaf and

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

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

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

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.

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

Episode 79: Inkblots & Brain Knots

2025/08/14

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’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

“When I think boa, I think Britney Spears” - I mean, who doesn’t? Buckle up and knuckle down for some supreme side-chat this week. Hannah’s got a dongle, and Missy (severely invested in a documentary theatre tangent) eventually gets to the point. First, Missy has a hoon at the Rhyme as Reason Effect, and Hannah says “brain” 200 hundred times as she wiggles her way through the mystery of being ticklish. If one contends that truth is related to coherence, probs best not to believe a word of this

This episode is a tip-top, top-tier, tea-rific tea time. Hannah flippers, floppers, and flappers her way through the surprisingly rich history of swim fins, ending up in a side quest involving pinball flippers. Missy can’t quite remember her point, but rain or shine, she’s got plenty to say about umbrellas, including the classic superstition that opening one indoors supposedly invites bad luck. And somehow (miraculously) we make it through the whole chinwag without breaking into Rihanna’s Umbrella

Kia ora x6 this week because apparently our memories are shorter than a goldfish’s. Never mind ‘Hot to go,’ this episode is Croc to go. Switch those bad boys to sport mode and lock in as Missy gives the goods on the world’s most popular “plastic hoof”. You can’t spell Mooney without moo, and the steaks are high as Hannah claims to deliver a “real brief” history of chocolate milk. You heard it here first! The post-run choccy milk is udderly amazing. As per, we’re milkin’ it till we’re making it.

A mate you don’t know is just a mate yet to be! (but you gotta earn it). It’s happy Fridays all round! Hannah tries to read her notes and turns her spotlight to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That’s right, “you’re gonna be a star kid.” Missy brings us back down to earth as she pontificates about Pareidolia. Have you ever thought that your heat pump, a house, a wall socket, or a tap looks like a face? That’s Pareidolia, which is a very common phenomenon and doesn’t really mean anything. This episode,

Hannah may hate the word ‘foot’, but this episode is a massive feat. Missy has a groovy gasbag about everyone’s favourite large hairy mythical creature (not Missy) but old mate Bigfoot. Quick question - how many subways long is Bigfoot’s foot? Hannah tries to speak Welsh as she harps on about every girlie's best gridle cake, the classic “spongey holey treat” that is the crumpet. Crumpets have a loose batter, and yee-haw do these Mooney’s have loose banter! “We all want something extraordinary to

Absolute scenes this week as the hoony Mooneys announce their next running challenge. Missy, for no apparent reason rattles off her lentil bake recipe which is followed by some elite random prattle including more cursed clown chat (why/how does this KEEP coming up and when will it end!?!?!?). Anywho, Hannah trip-tumbles through her thought and puts the pieces together with some jigsaw jabber. Things get heated as Missy offers some piping hot, hot water bottle chat.

“My body can do it, but I don’t want to.” Lucky for you, you do want to listen to this daft podcast. Missy elevates the chat, lifts the spirits, and raises morale with some hefty yabber about lifts. Crumpet the clown (Hannah) brings up the rear with some tasty pasta chat. Both lifts and Pasta can move people, and this episode moves Hannah to tears (of laughter). Feat. An Archimedes side quest, far too much silly laughter, and, most importantly, if you were a type of pasta, what pasta would you be

They did it! The Mooneys got hoony and absolutely smashed it at the Kirikiriroa Marathon.What! Can you believe it?! As Hannah articulates so eloquently, “I reckon we looked a sight”, these munters got the mahi done and now you get the treats. Hannah’s thought is short and sweet as she flies through the origin story of Jet planes - the lolly kind, not the aerospace engineering kind. Missy rocks an ultra-thought as she loops, laps, and loves the challenge of the backyard ultra; one 6.7km loop on the

These Mooneys are about to get marthony with it. On the precipice of the biggest run of their lives, Hannah and Missy kick things off with some irrelevant clown chat (but like, what WOULD your clown name be??). In a monster episode this week, Missy dives into the mysterious myth of the lurkings in Loch Ness and unlocks some of the lore around the Loch Ness Monster. Hannah unpacks the savoury custard sensation that is our pre-race tradition of hooning a quiche, and just like a fancy fishy quiche,
