  • How speed cooking led to Leigh Hart's divorce
    Jun 16 2026

    Notorius women experts Leigh Hart and Matt Ward are back this week to chat about the hobbies men do that are most attractive according to women, and ask the important question: are they right?

    Reading, hiking, painting... blacksmithing? The boys question the validity of the list. Leigh shares a hilarious story of being judged by All Black Beauden Barrett on the golf course, and Matt asks if you'd let your parents watch everything you've ever done in your entire life for $1 billion. Or maybe it was $100 million. It gets a little confused.
