Tayla and Marcelo kick off this week by arguing about who should kick off, and that start Tayla off on a tangent of who else she could host with.

Join in as The Montoya’s lift the curtain on the life and relationship of Aussie imports assimilating into New Zealand as a newly married couple. Think Keeping Up with the Kardashians crossed with Modern Family and tune in for the podcast you never knew you needed.

About The Hosts:

Tayla Montoya is an ex-cheerleader, and current radio producer for Jono and Ben on The Hits. Her roots are from a large Italian Australian family, with all the passion and fire that comes with that.

Most importantly, she is like that friend at the BBQ that is constantly surprising the group with a new questionable take, internet-based obsession or just something to annoy her husband.

Marcelo Montoya is a Fijian Australian professional rugby league player and brings insight into what it actually means to be a professional sportsman. He is a little bit bogan, and a whole lot of a perfectionist. He strives for everything in his life to be cantered and deliberate so he can perform at the highest level, while contending with his wife’s need to try and throw him off balance.

This week Tayla is as sick as a dog, but Marc isn't the most supportive because he's just come back from holiday. The energy might be low, but the content is still hilarious, like when they both got caught out in the bathroom and Louie has to recue Tayla in an unexpected way and they finish with the time Tayla tried to keep up with Marcelo's mum on the drink.
