Are We Pals with Hoani Hotene?
<p>For their final guest of the second season, Sammy and Lesa are joined by Hoani Hotene (2022 Raw Comedy Quest WINNER and recently announced 2025 Billy T Comedy Award nominee!). They already know they are friends with Hoani, so much so they had told him repeatedly that he couldn't be on the podcast, but maybe feature 'on a mini off-shoot version'. Undeterred, Hoani remained one of 'Are We Pals?' biggest fans, and when Sammy messaged Hoani to say congrats on the Billy T nom, he asked if this meant he could finally be on the pod. So they agreed,<em> mainly because they hadn't secured another guest yet.</em></p><p>In all serious, Hoani is one of the best emerging comedy acts in Aotearoa, and this is a fab chat covering his university education, his party days in Spain, what it's like competing against friends and how he thinks he is the only person that has ever listened to Are We Pals?!</p><p>But are they still friends by the end of the chat? Or does the risky non-negotiable put a stop to all that, for the first time in AWP history?!</p>

What starts as a pretty normal chat about local community life somehow spirals, complete with an unexpected amount of singing and Sammy reminiscing about her time in The Sound of Music. And for return listeners, you'll be delighted to know that Lesa's daughter Frida makes another brief cameo. </p><p>Join from the beginning for some sensible grown-up chat, or skip to the 17 min mark for when it all starts to derail as Lesa confesses her true feelings about those who sing sincerely in front of her.</p>
