Batten down the hatches. It’s an emergency Overlooked and Undercooked special as Rob Schneider makes landfall in Aotearoa. After years of morbid fascination, Tim has finally witnessed Rob’s particular brand of bitterness in the flesh and, 90 unflinching minutes later, is bringing his findings back to Guy Montgomery, who was conveniently out of town on a “comedy tour.” Has seeing Rob perform live added a transformative new dimension to Tim’s opinion of his work?Video episodes releasing early on our Substack.

Battling through some very dodgy audio, Tim and Guy pop open the perpetual time capsule that is the TWIOAT mailbag. The episode becomes a bit of a time capsule itself, with potential ideas for the future of TWIOAT around every corner. The Twilight series? An unauthorized Cats sequel? An Andy Batt spinoff series? And, of course, what’s to be done about the approaching storm that is Rob Schneider’s tour of New Zealand? Check back in a year to tell us whether we actually followed through on any of this stuff.Thank you to the foster brothers Danny, Jake and Colleen for sending in CATS 2, which you can check out here.For video episodes, and to get episodes early, check out our Substack!

Throw on your loudest shirt and hoof it down to Pukekawa; it’s the last episode of PIAT Season 2 and the boys are clocking in for a BIG finale. We’re talking BIG trees. BIG interior decorating. BIG plans for 2024. Tim and Guy, along with Guest on the Ground (Guest on the Roots?) Abby Howells, cover all their bases for the new year with a combination of western medicine, magic crystals and a whopping dose of fresh air. An installment of the weekly segment Cinnamon Breakfast Croissant in a Tree takes an unexpected turn.

It’s a sentimental episode of Podcast in a Tree as Tim and Guy consider, among others, the bygone era of reversible clothing, halcyon days of New Zealand radio, and lessons in fatherhood from the Supernanny. The prolific Matt Heath, under fire for his choice in wines, shows up to reminisce about his time at Radio Hauraki, getting death threats on commercial radio and shooting Tim in the face with a t-shirt cannon. The good old days. Guy puts a spin on series segment Almond Croissant in a Tree (a cinnamon breakfast croissant).

Papa Monty returns from a very busy few months hawkin’ comedy hither and thither, bringing with him a big ol’ sack of mail from YOU. Tim and Guy break in the new TWIOAT recording studio with a sampling of topics from seasons past, including Rob Schneider’s impending Auckland show, a star-studded Emmanuelle reboot, and the ever-looming presence of PB:MC2.Find video episodes and more on our Substack
