Untidy

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah are dealing with pet perils as visits to the vet become a family affair for Hannah, and Matty takes to the local community page in a desperate search for missing Buster.

They address the present day question of what on earth is ‘6-7’? Not just breaking millennial brains nationwide, it’s even making a boomer out of ChatGPT. Have they all reached the age of irrelevancy?

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah pick up where they left off after Hannah rediscovers the long-lost screenshots from ‘Gareth the Weird Tinder Guy’ and his post-date text barrage.

Matilda shares her own encounter with an unhinged Facebook messenger whose rants someh...

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah return fresh (ish) from Taranaki, still riding the high of their live show with Chelsea Winter — sequins, sparkle, and sumptuous snacks. They recap the chaos, the goodie bags, and the rally driver who got them to the airport with four minutes to spare.

• Autumns first crime,
• A ret...

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah sit down with listener Jo Mackie to talk about one of the biggest decisions a person can make — becoming a single mother by choice.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah are feeling the eclipse energy, rogue chin hairs, and pending emotional housework. From cup-filling weekends and horse-riding fantasies to crying in the shower, there’s the whole spectrum of chaos, catharsis, and questionable anatomy chat you’ve come to rely upon.

They pay tribute to the late, great Nigel Latta, who left his final legacy, Lessons on Living, as a parting gift...

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah are back with neuroscientist, Dr Sarah McKay, author of The Women’s Brain Book, Baby Brain, and Brain Health for Dummies, to flip the script about our brains in midlife. Are we really the dysfunctional crones the social narrative would have us believe? 

They dig into why we forget words, lose our keys, stumble through brain fog, and rage-sweat at night. Sarah explains these a...

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah surrender to the delirium of an evening recording. Hannah’s shovelling supplements into every orifice, Matty’s shovelling butter chicken into just one solitary hole, and somewhere in Christchurch, an underqualified masseuse is about to disappoint another unsuspecting client. 

Matty makes the mistake of going to a dress-up party ugly, they discuss how to deal with a saun...

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah begin with a good, cathartic rant. (You are encouraged to pause this episode and join them as needed.)

However, there’s something that can be done, and they’re ...

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah start out with a plan and run gleefully in the other direction. They park up in Matty’s Medical Corner for some interesting but entirely unqualified health diagnoses, coin a term for being in public just wearing your own face, and catch up on the organised chaos amply provided by each of their offspring. 

There’s chat of house parties, hangovers, and the diabolical evid...

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah show up with raw faces and ready for bed! Loving a segue, as they do, this leads seamlessly into a chat to unpack the revelation of Matty’s face sculpting and facing the question of if, when, or, under what conditions one should consider a little bit of Botox. Will they be the only wrinkly grannies left standing, or can we make aging cool again whilst lead an aggressive sombrero m...
