On the 2018 episode of “Til Death do us Blart”, an annual podcast where Guy, Tim as well as Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy watch the movie “Paul Blart Mall Cop 2” on American Thanksgiving, Guy and Tim announced the fourth season of “The Worst Idea of All Time”, which will focus on the first “Sex and the City” film.[4]
Montgomery also created a short podcasts series, Hosting, with fellow comedian Carlo Ritchie exploring the culture differences of Australians and New Zealanders as Ritchie spends a week in the "land of the long white cloud" with Montgomery.[citation needed]
