You're listening to the Jonesy and Amanda podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well, life has changed dramatically since the last time we
spoke to Guy Montgomery. He's been on tour, he's won
a LOGI, and he's welcomed a baby. Didn't just have one,
he welcomed it. Quite the underachiever. Well, in an effort
to make this year even bigger, he's taking his hilarious
news show. Now, if I got this right, guys, Guy
Mont's Guy Mont's spelling bee? Or is that a time?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Here's Guy?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
I'm not about to hello? Here is Guy montgomeryself?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Here he is?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Okay, now, asked Amanda, thank you so much for having me,
and might I say what a pleasure is to see
you both again. It's been a matter of years, you know,
And that's not written on anyone's faces. That's just information,
you know. I'm not here to put anyone down, but yeah, no,
it's been a big few years. And to correct your
your your title the title is Guy Montgomery's.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Guymont's is the official working title of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Why does it have to be so that.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
So the reason it has to be so that the
isn't it is that, and that is a non negotiable
is I started doing this just on YouTube as a lark,
you know. This was this was like off off off Broadway,
just to muck around with friends. And then from there
it became a live show in New Zealand. Then it
became a TV show in New Zealand. And along the
way I kept pitching the title because it was so

(01:35):
daft and waiting for literally anyone to push back and say,
I'm sorry, but we've got to give it a bit
of title than that didn't happen in New Zealand, brought
it to Australia, didn't happen in Australia, and now I'm
saddled with this sort of non functioning pun that works.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
It works.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I did a show called RPM and they said, oh,
we want to do a little bit. It was about
cars and motor racing, had Alan Jones, the Formula One champion,
and they said we wanted a little bit of a
video thing if someone, you know, guys riding lawn. I
was doing stuff and what do we call it? And
I said, well, you we're going to get sort of
snappy title, some snappy titled video, and then they just went,

(02:13):
that's what it will be. So I became an STV.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Snappy titled video.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
So on the screen it just said STV snappy titled video.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
STV perilously close to the acronym for a much more
famous st consonant.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yes, that's right, and no one wants that in full
screen under your face.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And that segment doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
No, fair enough to well tell us that your life
is just exponentially exploded. LOGI baby, which one is on
the shelf more often? Which one do you value the most?

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well on the shelf? To be fair on the shelf
as the LOGI. But it was, you know, it was
to come down to it. If there was a house fire,
I would be taking the baby.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
But yeah, no, I.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Mean it's been you know, it's totally it's been amazing.
It's totally realigned.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
You know, my world. I just have so much.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I felt so connected to the universe after our baby
was born, Like I just was like I was crying
at the birth. I was like crying to my partner, going,
you were a baby, And then I was looking around
there at my midwife, I was going.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
You were a baby.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
And for about a week all I could do was
say to people, you were a baby. I just felt
completely overwhelmed.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Had you sucked on the gas guy?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Actually, when the midwife was out of the room, my
partner did offer me some of the guests, but I
wanted to keep my head on a swivel. How about
this though, When we were there it was early morning
or not the early morning, so a regular morning birth.
And we'd been there for four hours or so, and
the midwife came up to me said if you had
anything to eat, and I said no, and so she
went out into the little kitchen itt and brought me

(03:44):
back some toast and tea and gave that to me.
He said, you go, you have that. You've got to
keep your energy up, and I said thank you. And
as soon as I sort of was next to the
birthing pool holding my toast and tea, she took our
camera out and just took a fight. While my partner's laboring,
there's a photo of me holding a piece of toast
up to my mouth with a cup of tea.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
It's most like, you know, it's such an incriminating.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Photograph and up himself is here?

Speaker 4 (04:11):
She said you are? She did?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
She should have brought you a kebbat.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I will also say, you know, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
The first like two weeks or three weeks, you're just
riding so high hormone surgeon, just absolutely riding a wave
of love for everyone and thing, and then the hormones
drop and your.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Exhaustion kicks it. Like anything that was asked for me,
I was happy to do.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
And then of course the exhaustion, you know, catches up
and you come you sort of plunge back into reality
where anything that I was letting slave previously, I was like, hey,
you know, you know, I know, I know we've got
a new baby and needed all the work, but I'm
going to need someone else to put these foods in
the dish wash.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I don't even mention the sex word even I'm just saying.
I'm just saying to you, I've been down to the.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Way the way you presented it. You mentioned the sex
word explicitly.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
It was like it was the most common.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Word in You're supposed to say the S word.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Maybe that's true, that's true.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
I meant to say the word.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Anyway, I misspoke, Guy it's so great to talk to
you for tickets and tour information into livenation dot com.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
