Bashing Marty & Michael

Ep. 97

Marty and Michael, the dynamic YouTube duo known for their entertaining content, join the podcast. The episode kicks off with talks about an upcoming showdown in the podcasting ring – Marty & Michael vs. Knuckles & Bryze at the Podcast Royale. The hosts also share their recent experience attending a training camp with Alexander Volkanovski, the renowned UFC featherweight champion.

As the conversation unfolds, Marty and Michael recount the amusing incident when they had to choose a walkout song for their training camp with Volkanovski. They dive into the details of their time at the camp, including a hilarious prank they played on Volkanovski, simulating a chokehold that left him bewildered.

Adding to the mix, the hosts discuss how they've been taunted by a friend of Knuckles (BT) with false claims about Knuckles' training with Tai Tuivasa and Bryze's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu credentials, all in good humour.

The episode also delves into the background of the Podcast Royale event, tracing its origins from a call-in on Alpha Blokes to Knuckles' idea of bringing together Australia's top podcasters for a boxing extravaganza. The story includes the initial challenge to The Inspired Unemployed, which led to Marty and Michael stepping into the ring as their formidable opponents.

Listeners can anticipate an exciting blend of humour, camaraderie, and a taste of the growing podcasting rivalry in this episode with Marty and Michael.
