Let Her Finish

Gosh, there’s a bit on this week - Tegan is preparing for her first-ever half marathon in Auckland, and Brodie is about to head to New York for her ninth marathon. Meanwhile, Gracie is catching the train to Hamilton - YEAH GIRL! We ask if the term “best friend” is outdated? We hear about a Kiwi woman’s quest to stop apologising - and we are tempted to take up the challenge. Plus worming tablets, red beer, red vomit and a poo bath. And what DID Jo Kane hear at Brodie and Josh’s house?

Buzzballs, Rage Retreats, Big Green Flags, and the Female equivalent of a hole-in-one. Someone almost didn’t get let into the Olivia Dean concert after a few buzzballs but it wasn’t the buzzballs that did it… We’ve heard of yoga retreats, wellness retreats and look, great. BUT we’re absolutely getting in and around a new rage retreat! We have some breaking potato news. A debate around who should get Christmas Leave. And, what is the female equivalent of a hole in one?

Look, we are feminists til the day we die, but can we all accept there are some things in life we are happy for a man to do (hint, backing a trailer)? Do you suffer FOMO? We discuss how we have the opposite (aka JOMO) and give you some great ways to get out of something you don’t want to do.If you, like us, get barred up about a road trip chicken bite then we’ve got you covered with where the best ones are. Plus a brilliant Briscoes hack, a fork fight and and workplace dicks.

My word, put your seatbelt on and brace yourself, there are MANY a moving part to this episode. Tegan’s in a bad karmic cycle this week and is hanging by a thread. Brodie’s back from an incredibly special weekend with her Dad at the NRL Grand Final and is hanging by a thread (like a good one haha). Thank goodness Gracie is holding us together, but her wonderful 3-year old Frank is deep in his feels. We talk about friendship rules girls should learn early. There’s a spell with some onions and wooden skewers you need to hear about. Plus the power of a rave, and the operational bags every woman has on the daily.

We pay homage to New Zealand this week - starting with the City Rail Link in Auckland, followed closely by yet ANOTHER reason why we love the regions. Gracie has a beautiful response to those who ask her if she wants to have a third child. We debate the best TV Shows of the 21st Century. We get fizzed over bed linen and new appliances. The ruthless thing you need to hear if you’re dealing with interpersonal issues. Plus, a fart in an uber and a fight about an umbrella.

As the headline suggests, Brodie has big news but in true media fashion, we will tease the sh*t out of it so you have to go and listen hehe! Our PR campaign for Karen and all she brings to the world continues. When did ticket buying become so INTENSE? The pre-sales have completely taken general sales over and the purchase of a humble concert ticket is so stressful. QR codes at Restaurants can get in the bin. So can AI voices at the drive-thru. And peanut butter.

PLENTY of minutes this week and we steamroll right in with the decision one athlete made to carry on competing in a HYROX competition after pooing her pants. Really, what is worth winning over that? We break down the drama surrounding the Sydney Sweeney ad. What’s going on with all the frozen yoghurt shops? Our resident older millennial has questions… Plus the wellness gap, some pretty accurate readings about ourselves and a follow up on the power of being a Karen.

We’re big on getting behind the Warriors as they embark on the NRL Finals, and we also talk about the beautiful display of healthy masculinity as the competition wraps its support around Rabbitohs player Jai Arrow, who’s battling Motor Neurone Disease. This week Gracie has conducted a thorough investigation about where all the white dog poo went, and it will actually blow your mind. How to avoid small talk and dive into deep conversations. We should be taking more time to talk properly to people. Bring back the phone call! Gracie told some teenage boys off for littering at the weekend, and it got us thinking, instead of being dubbed a “Karen” as though it’s a bad thing, let’s give her a rebrand and lean into being an engaged, caring citizen! Plus, what do chief, buddy and champ all have in common?

Why do we always think the grass is greener? This week we’re specifically talking about the urge to move cities - the urge to hunt for bigger and better, but really, what does bigger and better mean? We’re labelling the latest marketing fad “Protein Propaganda” and Tegan is victim to it. There’s some beautiful and hopeful math of starting late. We talk about unsexy products we use to keep us sexy - and best believe nipple hairs and chin hairs enter the chat. Plus, do Gen Zers know what “piss up front up” means?

This week we’re having a laugh at the expense of robots - but it also got us talking about how all these so-called advances in technology, apparently designed to make life easier for us, are in fact doing the exact opposite. We’re seeing a weird new look at the gym and we assure you jeans are not the way forward. The question to ask yourself if you’re wondering whether to pivot in your career. A foolproof party hack to bring the vibes with bugger-all effort. Plus the dark side of star signs, and the theory of every big TV show having a dud season.

This week we talk about the value of friendship, and why it really is one of life’s greatest joys. There are updates as to how to make the perfect bed, which leads to some punishing but necessary chat about washing. We have an in-depth discussion around the greatest bikkies of the nation. We’ve got some serious milestone-maxxing happening this year and who knew you could have fake freckles? The girls are ready for New Zealand Fashion Week, and the Black Ferns test this weekend in a major week of group outings.

This week, we talk about the new Kmart dupes of the ‘Meta glasses’, and why we are a little bit scared of them. Gracie gives us 5 social norms that need to come back (please listen and apply). Tegan gives her quote for what she says when she isn’t coming to something: “I’ll let you know”, and we read out some of the best ones from you Finishers. Miraculously, we come up with the women version of the dap up! Plus, making beds like hotels, spelling and driving getting worse with age and… OOSHIES.

This week we call out Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters for his inexcusable racism in Parliament last week. If we tolerate this kind of behaviour in the highest office, the trickle-down effect is alarming. We also remind you why this makes it SO important to vote. WHY ARE THE OOSHIES TAKING OVER PEOPLES' LIVES (yes we are yelling)???  The "Hahahahahahaha Photo Hack" will help you nail all your photos.

Brodie's back and the girls are together in the same room for the first time in seven weeks! There's many a reflection on milestone birthdays with Brodie turning 40 and Tegan turning 30 in the past couple of weeks. AND our Gracie is bang smack in the middle of our ages, she shares some beautiful reflections on the first part of her thirties. There's minutes around Rhythm and Vines, there's minutes around toilets, laundry, kick ons, and birthday cakes. There's tattoos, tarot cards and tourist adventures. And there's drinks - because that was long overdue!

Brodie Kane is still off celebrating her 40th birthday in Bali, so Tegan and Gracie are holding down the fort in the studio until Brodie returns next week!  We kick off with a full recap of Tegan’s 30th birthday celebrations over the weekend, complete with bedazzled tequila towers and line dancing. Tegan shares a warning about the scary AI feature Instagram has signed us up for and how to disable it.  We also jump into a viral debate about a husband who gave an expensive YSL gift basket to a female coworker instead of bringing it home to his wife.

Brodie is still away on her 40th sabbatical this week, having left her Croatian island life to travel to Bali for her birthday on Saturday. While Gracie and Tegan hold down the fort, the incredible Ella Monnery joins us! Gracie opens up a deeply important conversation for Birth Trauma Awareness week, getting vulnerable about her own experiences navigating an emergency C-section, mastitis, post-natal depression, anxiety, and more. We unpack the latest news that Gen Z is reportedly "glowing down," and debate which beauty treatments we’d drop first to save a few pennies. Plus, we break down how faking smiles at work can lead to drinking, Pitbull’s new world record, and seeking validation from social media. Also, Gracie explains why we need to bring back the middle finger, Tegan shares how she’s been preparing for her big 30th birthday next week, and Ella reveals how she’s navigating her Saturn Return.

This week, Brodie joins us again live from Croatia to debrief her wild solo travel adventures in Ibiza. She shares the behind-the-scenes scoop on her backstage antics meeting Dom Dolla, and the scary late-night hotel prank call she received in Frankfurt. We discuss new statistics revealing the massive percentage of adults projected to never marry, and debate whether a wedding and marriage are actually worth it. Plus, we couldn’t chat weddings without mentioning Taylor Swift’s wedding over the weekend, unpacking our completely unfiltered thoughts on it. (Don't hate us Swifties) With Matariki coming up this weekend, we reflect on our intentions for the year ahead. Tegan also gifts Gracie and Brodie a special charm from Pandora’s new limited-edition collection, where each charm represents a Matariki star. Gracie shares a chaotic parenting meltdown at the zoo (not her own), Brodie gives us the rundown on the rest of her Europe plans, and we ask the ultimate question: how often should you really wash your clothes?

In this week's episode of Let Her Finish, Brodie Kane patches in from the island of Brač in Croatia while she is living up her 40th birthday Euro summer sabbatical. Joining us in the early hours of the morning with a very full glass of Aperol in hand, she tells us how she is living (and loving) the simple island life and her exciting birthday plans in Ibiza next week. We discuss the recent scary predictions of what the near future could look like with AI and the Victorian slang that needs to come back. Brodie gives us her official fashion report from Europe, explaining the footwear trend she has reluctantly fallen victim to just to survive the pebble beaches. We also hear about her deeply moving trip to Belgium, where she and her mum Jo visited Passchendaele to honor the Kiwi soldiers who fought on the Western Front. Gracie shares some outrageous and outdated medical terms used to describe women’s bodies that we still cannot wrap our heads around. Tegan shares an update on her wānanga journey and what she has been learning about the moon phases and Matariki intentions. Plus, we read some beautiful messages from you finishers in the wild.

This week’s episode of Let Her Finish is a little bit different… Gracie is at home sick and resting up, Brodie’s off gallivanting around Europe, so you’re joined by Tegan and Ash London! We discuss the shocking Conservation Amendment Bill that’s threatening Aotearoa’s precious land and why it’s so vital that it doesn’t go through. We dive into the exact moment Zendaya fell in love with Tom Holland, and why we love seeing men who are secure enough in their masculinity to be a bit zesty. We cover the unbelievable cosmetic surgery a MAFS Australia star travelled all the way to Bali to undergo. Tegan is still in her Substack era, so she’s sharing some of the best quotes and reads she’s found this week. Plus, we tackle the highly relatable dilemma of scrolling online sales and realising just because it’s discounted, doesn’t mean you need it!

While Brodie is off living her best life in Europe, the incredibly talented and magnificent wahine Ash London joins us for this week's episode. (We love and miss you, Brodie!) Tegan opens up about the exhaustion many of us feel over the constant social media commentary on women’s bodies which seems almost impossible to escape. Gracie gives us the rundown of her girls’ trip to Queenstown last weekend and why you should just book that trip! Ash chats all things turning 40, from the party plans she ended up cancelling to how she's actually choosing to celebrate instead. We also discuss a recent study which found that weddings have been getting silly and we couldn’t agree more.
