Accosted for Living - Ep 124
This week, the boys are back with another beautifully unstructured episode that somehow covers everything from soggy DoorDash deliveries to being recognised by podcast listeners in the wild.We share the chaos of Divas on the Green, including one of the all-time worst jokes delivered after a few too many drinks, then recount a wedding where the bridal party stole the show. There's a discussion about charity auctions, Newcastle Knights match-day traditions, why manufactured crowd chants should be banned forever, and a well-deserved shout-out to an incredible fundraising effort after one man runs more than 1,000 kilometres from Brisbane to Newcastle.Plus, the boys talk podcast feedback, unexpected celebrity encounters (well... local celebrity), footy, weddings, wine, and why Lincoln still can't convince them to have any structure.If you enjoy mates having the kind of conversations that usually happen after a couple of beers, you're in the right place.In this episode:• The truth about DoorDash's "Express" delivery• Getting recognised because of the podcast• Divas on the Green stories that probably shouldn't be repeated• A remarkable 1,090km charity run• Why Newcastle's crowd chant has been ruined• Wedding season, rugby league, and plenty of questionable opinionsNew episodes every Tuesday.

Hanky Panky in the Back Seat - Ep 123
After a few weeks off, the boys are back and absolutely no topic is safe.This episode has a bit of everything: fighting Queensland traffic while half-dead from illness, an emotional wedding speech that proves exactly why photos and video matter, two dogs raising questions nobody asked and a legendary country pub adventure that somehow involves a mysterious local taxi operator named Boomer.There are stories from the Scone Cup, bar queue justice, awkward country pub encounters, Build-A-Bear voice messages, family chaos, and enough questionable segues to keep HR departments busy for months.It's heartfelt, ridiculous, and completely off the rails in all the right ways.

The Intern Did It - Ep 122
This week, Jack is back in the studio, and somehow we spend 30 minutes bouncing between AI wedding photography scandals, styled shoots, wedding expos, dodgy business practices, winter weddings, tattoos, social media burnout, and whether dolphins are bigger dickheads than cats.Along the way we accidentally stumble into a genuinely important conversation about multiple sclerosis, Australia's healthcare system, and why fundraising matters.As always, expect wedding industry gossip, questionable opinions, unnecessary detours, and absolutely no guarantees that any of us stay on topic for more than thirty seconds.🎙️ In this episode:AI-generated wedding photographyStyled shoots vs real weddingsWedding expos and vendor marketingWinter wedding seasonMultiple sclerosis awarenessCharity fundraisingSocial media fatigueThe world's most annoying animalsIf you're here for professional advice, you've come to the wrong place. If you're here for chaos, welcome home.

Someone Tried to Lick Our Hands - Ep 120
This week on the Two Monty’s Podcast, we’re joined by Bizarre House to talk about one of the wildest event concepts Newcastle has ever seen.The Ball at Bartholomew’s is part immersive theatre, part fantasy gala, part fundraiser and apparently includes orchestras, roaming performers, hidden worlds, choreographed dances, tattoo studios and more mystery than we could fit into one episode.We chat about how the event came together, the madness behind creating giant champagne walls and living bars, why Newcastle audiences are uniquely up for this kind of chaos, and some truly unhinged stories from years of performing at weddings and events.If you’ve ever wondered what happens when creative people are given absolutely no limits, this is the episode.🎟 The Ball at Bartholomew’s📍 Newcastle📅 19 June💗 Supporting Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation

Cardboard Coffins - Ep 119
What happens when a funeral director who actually gives a damn sits down with a wedding celebrant thinking about crossing over to the dark side (who previously has had choice words for the profession)?We get into the predatory tactics of big funeral corporations, why most people are in no state to make good decisions when they're handed a wall of coffins, and what a truly meaningful send-off can look like, including a sunrise memorial with 18 speakers and a flaming arrow fired into the ocean.Plus: shroud burials, stacking bodies in cemetery plots, Costco coffins, the ethics of charging for grief, and why your greatest gift to your family might be telling them exactly what you want done with your body.A surprisingly funny, genuinely moving conversation about death, dignity, and doing things differently.Yeah I know right, this one was weirdly sincere.

The Architect of my Own Downfall - Ep 118
This week the boys are back and covering the full chaotic spectrum. The King opens with a rant about the parking inspector who rocked up to his tiny dead-end street to fine him $330 for parking his tinny the wrong way, and yes, the choice words he threw on the way past absolutely didn't help. From there, it's a detour into AI tools (Claude, Grok, ChatGPT) and why a four-page GPT-generated wedding inquiry goes straight in the bin, followed by a chat about Hellofresh, air fryers, and the eternal lie of "portion control." Plus Haron's brand new job where the phones aren't even connected yet.In this episode:The parking inspector incident and a $330 lesson in keeping your mouth shutAI tools breaking down — what's actually worth usingThe ChatGPT wedding inquiry that got deleted on sightHello Fresh: great idea, no self-controlHaron's first day at a job he couldn't actually work from

Snapped Taps and Stripped Threads - Ep 117
There's no escaping that this week’s episode is an absolute trainwreck.We battle audio issues for half the episode, somehow end up deep in a discussion about snapped taps, stripped threads and tyre prices, then completely derail into weddings, AI paranoia, daycare drama, country pubs, tattoos, lesbians assuming sexualities, Mount Kosciuszko, redheaded bullying scandals, and whatever else got dragged into the mess along the way.No structure. No preparation. Just pure chaotic nonsense from start to finish.Honestly, one of the dumbest episodes we’ve recorded, and it's not particularly close.

Ordained into the Chinese Hall of Fame - Ep 116
This week the boys are back with a proper mixed bag.From accidentally flooding a caravan park (and owning up to it… eventually) to freezing camping trips, questionable restaurant reviews, and the ongoing outrage of “fun size” chocolate getting smaller by the year.There’s also a deep dive into wedding season realities — including one of the more frustrating videographer horror stories you’ll ever hear — plus a few thoughts on the industry as things start to quiet down.Chuck in some wildly different Uber experiences, a new unexpected job opportunity, and a healthy dose of everyday annoyances (looking at you, school zones and parking inspectors), and you’ve got yourself another classic episode.It’s loose, it’s unfiltered, and it goes exactly where you’d expect… and then a bit further.

It's Bath Time - Ep 115
One Monty is buried in laundry. The other is fully submerged in a bubble bath with a wine in hand. Business as usual if you ask me.This episode of Two Montys is pure, unfiltered chaos. We’re talking neighbour bin wars that escalate way too far, drive-thru design flaws that deserve jail time, and the kind of random life encounters that leave you questioning everything. There’s also a wedding saved by absolute strangers, a viral moment that proves the internet is still unhinged, and a strong stance against April Fools’ “comedy”.Somewhere in there, we also cover:The great Chupa Chups pronunciation debateWhy your bin keeps disappearing (and who’s probably stealing it)Getting trapped in conversations you absolutely did not sign up forInternet comment sections and the chaos withinPranks, pet peeves, and things that just shouldn’t existIt’s messy, it’s ridiculous, and it’s very much Monty.
