Oh Hey Fren! episodes

  • 77.⁠ ⁠Kyle and Jackie O, Contract PSA, Dunk Bait Circle of Life.

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss:

    For $10 million, is there any topic they wouldn’t tolerate the other talking about? What happens if you enter into a real estate contract and don’t understand all the terms? What is the life cycle of a viral video, and why should we be critical of how we engage with its different stages? Hayley makes mistakes, and that’s okay. Matt isn’t robotic. He just doesn’t like texting, which is fair.

  • 76. Pre-nups, Subscriptions, AI vs Human at Work.

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss: 


    Should prenups be taken out of the movies about billionaires and into the mainstream for relationships? Why is everything a subscription now? Is AI better than a human at remote work yet? Hayley gets defensive about being replaced. Matt is high on caffeine.

  • 75. ⁠Welcome Back, The Devil is in the Comments, Take Care of Yourself

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss: 


    Coming back to recording after six months off, with a new set up and new skills to learn. Are social media comments worth diving into or should they be avoided at all costs? Is there a critical mass of followers where a comments section is more likely to be on the dark side? Hayley tries to rebrand fragile. Matt is belligerent sometimes.

  • 74.⁠ ⁠Six Traits of Coolness, Crooning, Patience.

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss: 


    Science has defined six traits that make someone cool, is it possible to learn these? What makes one Frank Sinatra song different to the next? Does being poor force you to be more patient? Hayley intentionally doesn’t light up a room. Matt is adventurous to the max inside the comfort zone.

  • 73.⁠ ⁠Gen Z Marketing, Naive Realism, Trump & Iran.

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss: 


    Does it matter if Gen Z processes world events through memes and Pinesol ads? Has advertising finally detached from gender roles, or just become chaotic? Does the term ‘Naive Realism’ even need to exist? Hayley responds to news of US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites through the lens of her social media: Trump is bad, so this must be bad. Matt tracks how the mainstream media narratives shifted from fear and outrage to acknowledging it may have been the right move.

  • 72.⁠ ⁠Enhanced Games, Modern Slavery, Cyber Security.

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss: 


    How far can the human body go in athletic pursuits? Performance enhancing drugs have created controversy in sport over and over, what if that limitation was removed? What does slavery look like in the 21st century and how can this impact us in Australia? Hayley is learning to handstand walk. Matt gives a PSA on password protection.

  • 71.⁠ ⁠In the News, Cocoa, Orphan Crushing Machine, Friend of the Show: Jas.

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss: 


    Why is chocolate so expensive now, and why is it full of things that aren’t chocolate? Why do some heart warming human interest stories give us the ick, and what does that have to do with Mr Beast? One of our super cool friends/listeners drops by to share her thoughts: gym junkie and professional violinist Jasmine. Jas, Matt and Hayley read each others’ horoscopes.

  • 70.⁠ ⁠AI Job Interview, Conflict Styles, Constructive Deviance.

    Send us a Message!

    Hayley and Matt discuss: 


    How would you feel if you had a job interview with an AI Chatbot? Is it a sign we’re heading towards a dystopian hellscape, or an efficiency giving more applicants a shot? What’s your conflict style and does it change depending on the situation? Hayley loves making improvements via constructive deviance. Matt focuses on winning the game, not changing it.
