The Monks

The Monks Sweat The Small Stuff

On today's episode, the Monks chat about all the tiny annoyances in the post covid dystopian world of grocery shopping and what new roles they have taken on as volunteer grocery staff. Josh & Heather lay it on the line giving their tips & tricks to fight back against the capitalist pigs that have their AI snitches watching as you scan your own groceries, only to get caught red handed by a teenage boy that barely looked up from his phone. The Monks also discuss the other constant apocalyptic hellscape of the modern day; using public bathrooms and why they should ditch the high tech accessories and have bouncers checking your body before you can go.  Watch today's episode of The Monks Official Podcast YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

The Monks Fall Into The Nostalgia Trap

On today's episode, the Monks chat about being raised with the perfect amount of neglect. Neglect sounds too harsh, it was more like the perfect amount of oversight. It was a time of 2 minute sleepover interviews, riding your bike for miles, breaking into abandoned buildings, setting up clubhouses in drug dens, swimming in retention ponds, hurting brittle Brad on accident and heading home when the street lights came on. These tales are passed down through story rather than videos posted online for eternity. They come from a generation that got the chance to mess up & it be forgotten. Are kids today allowed to do that? We should all be so lucky!  Watch today's episode of The Monks Official Podcast YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe & share!

The Monks Suckle At The Teat Of The Elite

On today's episode, the Monks chat about their favorite hacks for living a great life in California. Their number one hack... Suckle at the Teat of the Elite! Live as close as you can to the wealthy areas to benefit off of that one tax they don't evade; property tax. Drive on those evenly paved roads, stroll on those wide sidewalks, and savor the smell of the manicured gardens. But do beware that Timothy's mother will absentmindedly forget to pay for that endangered sashimi she ordered. There are no southern grandmas poppin' mouths here to correct behavior. Just the silent judgement of your clothes, car, and hair cut as you overhear them talking about their latest vacation abroad. Refine your pallet and take your seat at the outdoor patio. Sorry inside is reserved for residents.  Watch today's episode of The Monks Official Podcast YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe & share!

The Monks Put on a Masterclass in Having People Over

On today's episode, the Monks chat about their lifelong friends finally visiting California for the first time and their epic 4 day itinerary. From every restaurant saying the kitchen is closing in 15 minutes to the couple heavy petting and feeding each other oysters to the nude bike parade, it was a classic California experience. Luckily California was steadfast with its grandiose views and unwavering beauty. Even our weeds are pretty! Josh & Heather's love language is complaining but their friends were such excellent house guests, there was not much to complain about. But don't worry they'll find something.  Watch today's episode of The Monks Official Podcast YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe & share!
