Marcelo makes the genius decision to leave his wallet on top of the car before driving away. By the time he realises, it’s gone and someone has already tried to spend $800 on Amazon gift cards. Tayla is furious, Marcelo is surprisingly calm and, forget the bank cards, he’s mostly mourning the Burberry wallet Tayla bought him! Finally, Tayla has one simple request: Marcelo needs to stop tightening every lid like he’s competing in a strongman competition. The twins’ water bottles are impossible to open, and it’s bringing back memories of the time Tayla cried at 4am because she couldn’t get the lid off her blender. Marcelo’s…

Marcelo arrives home to tell Tayla he's scored two free coffees, only for Tayla to discover they’ve come with a very expensive parking fine.

If you’re going to dress like Crocodile Dundee you should at least arrive on horseback. An innocent trip to the playground turns into Tayla beefing with a five-year-old after he tells one of the twins to shut up and stop copying him. When he returns to order the family off a park bench, Tayla decides she’s had enough and stands up for her girls once and for all. Plus, the Montoyas reveal the laziest things people have ever done.

Marcelo attends his nephew’s rugby union grand final expecting nothing more than a giant game of kick tennis. Instead, he leaves questioning everything he thought he knew about union and wishing he’d played it himself as a young fella. The Montoyas also debate whether children need to experience losing or if everyone should walk away with a participation award. A survey reveals the five things couples fight about most, and naturally, Tayla and Marcelo manage to tick off most of the list. This leads them back to their latest argument: whether Lebanese bread that’s been sitting in the fridge can still be called fresh.

The Montoyas unpack the AFL cheating scandal that has everyone talking. Should someone’s private life cost them a leadership role? Is cheating with your wife’s best friend ever just a “mistake”? And why are the two women receiving more attention…

After finishing his own shampoo, Marc started flogging Tayla’s bottle every single day until there was absolutely nothing left. The real twist?

After receiving a flood of DMs and comments following last week's episode, Tayla and Marcelo realised they'd done the one thing they never intended to do... offend their listeners. So this week, they issue a heartfelt public apology from the bottom of their hearts. Will they learn from their mistakes? Fingers Crossed. Will it last? Well... at least for this episode. Tayla also celebrated a huge milestone in the gym, hitting her very first PB. It turns out all she needed was a new gym buddy who actually knows what they're doing. After years of convincing herself she'd been training hard, Tayla has come to the shocking realisation that she may have just been turning up. As it happens, nothing brings out her competitive side quite like having an audience in every single aspect of her life. Plus, thanks to Blue Wealth Property, we finally reach the last few pages of An Empyrean Awakening. After weeks of twists, questionable acting, and Marcelo's ever-growing collection of accents, the masterpiece comes to an…

Before we even managed to hit record this week, Tayla somehow found herself in a battle with... a boulder. After one final mirror check before heading into the studio, she confidently flung open the door without looking and was immediately met with an almighty bang. Her only defence? "Just be grateful it wasn't a car." Safe to say, tensions were running high before the microphones were even switched on. Tayla also expanded her culinary repertoire this week by buying a slow cooker and whipping up a beef ragu that Marcelo rated a perfect 10/10. In what should have been a rare and wholesome moment, Marcelo finally gave Tayla a genuine compliment about her cooking. Unfortunately, it only lasted a few seconds before he pointed out that the only thing slower than the slow cooker... was Tayla herself. So close to a heartfelt moment. Plus, thanks to Blue Wealth Property, Tayla's high school script An Empyrean Awakening returns for another chapter. Marcelo dusts off his ever-growing collection of accents, unveils one…

Welcome to the very first episode of Couples Couch. For our debut, we're joined by two very special guests, Jai and Beri Arrow, who sat down with us just five hours after saying "I do" to hard-launch married life. Together, we talk about how they first met, the journey that brought them together, becoming parents, and the moments that have shaped their relationship. Jai and Beri share, with incredible honesty, the journey that led to Jai's diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease. Jai opens up about the moment something clicked after attending a Fight MND fundraiser, the conversations that followed, and the testing that ultimately confirmed what he feared. It's an emotional and deeply personal conversation, but one that's filled with courage, perspective, and the remarkable attitude Jai continues to face every day with. We're incredibly grateful to Jai and Beri for trusting us with their story, and we hope it helps bring greater awareness to Motor Neurone Disease and the people and families living with it. If…

Last week, Tayla made an appearance on the Bye Round fundraiser stream for Jai Arrow and, after discovering the magic of a bottle of red mixed with Diet Coke (now known as "The Shire Sangria"), things escalated extremely quickly. What started as a fun night out ended with an Uber ride home and Marcelo being woken up by the unmistakable sounds that no sober person ever wants to hear in the middle of the night. If that wasn't enough, the rest of the week didn't get much better. After going out to grab a coffee, Tayla somehow turned a simple café run into a public spectacle. Attempting to parallel park a large SUV outside a busy Cronulla café, she quickly found herself with a growing audience, traffic backing up all around, four failed attempts, a couple of kerbed tyres, and…

After Marcelo announced his retirement last week, Susan Lombardi decided it was her responsibility to break the news to Tayla's Nono and Nona. Unfortunately, instead of keeping things simple and telling the truth, she turned the whole thing into a dramatic Italian soap opera, leaving poor Nona in tears and everyone else wondering how things escalated so quickly. Tayla tries once again to convince Marcelo to join her at the gym next year so they can finally work out together and, more importantly, so she can prove she actually works hard when she's there. Marcelo isn't buying it for a second. Instead, he launches into a dramatic re-enactment of the time he walked into the lounge to find Tayla doing a Tabata workout while simultaneously watching reality TV. Surprisingly, nobody was shocked by this revelation. After last week's cliffhanger, it's finally time. Tayla's university script has arrived. Titled "An Empyrean Awakening", Tayla and Marcelo bring a scene to life on the podcast and quickly discover some…

Firstly, a massive shoutout to Voli K who recently reached out to collaborate with the podcast and has actually made music specifically for The Montoyas! You'll hear his work in today's intro and we absolutely love it. Huge thanks to him. At this rate, when we finally do a live show, we might even have live music from the man himself. Tayla's friend came over this week and immediately expressed concern that Tayla still hasn't booked her nose surgery. Why? Because she'd gone down a rabbit hole researching what happens to chronic mouth breathers over time and apparently it's not pretty. The biggest concern is developing a recessed chin which, according to the internet, is every mouth breather's worst nightmare. Will this finally be the thing that gets Tayla to book the surgery? The jury's still out. Meanwhile, on his day off, Marcelo found himself living out one of his biggest fanboy moments after meeting one of his Top 3 celebrities, Neil Whitaker, at a mental health lunch.

Marcelo has never been shy about his dislike of Tayla being glued to her phone, and this week he finally gets some answers. After discovering most of her screen time is spent firing an endless stream of questions at ChatGPT, Marcelo asks the question we're all thinking: "What are the most outrageous things you've ever asked ChatGPT?" Tayla bravely opens the vault, but would you be willing to share your search history with the world? Meanwhile, Tayla joins the 5am gym crowd and quickly finds herself in a very unexpected situation. While struggling through a workout, a friendly stranger offers to oil one of the machines to make it run smoother. Assuming he'd wandered over from the maintenance team, Tayla gladly accepts the help… only to discover he's actually just a local…
