EP 136 - Qatar and Red Bull Breaking News

Season 6 · Episode 136

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 • Duration 53:50

Pack your sunscreen, your sand goggles, and your patience for terrible opinions — The Monkey Seat is back for Episode 136!

This week, Tom and Karl dive into the Qatar Grand Prix, a race hotter than the tyres, tempers, and Tom’s laptop when he has too many tabs open. Expect sweaty drama, slippery strategies, and more deleted lap times than Karl has excuses for being late.

BUT WAIT — just as they hit record, BREAKING NEWS dropped like a Red Bull junior driver:
Red Bull announced their 2026 driver lineup.
Did it make sense? No.
Did the boys handle it professionally? Absolutely not.

Cue instant reactions, wild speculation, and the kind of live meltdown you only get when F1 silly season barges into the podcast uninvited.

They didn't do driver and dick of the day awards because well... they forgot.

It’s everything you expect from The Monkey Seat: off-topic tangents, questionable takes, unexpected news, and two hosts who are legally banned from being considered “serious analysts.”

If you want proper journalism, go to Grid Talk. If you want chaos with air-con, you’re in the right garage.

Catch the more “professional” versions of Tom and Karl on the Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk across all socials.

Check out f1chronicle.com for articles written by adults, and hit linktr.ee/gridtalkuk for the full Grid Talk universe.

Find The Monkey Seat on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn, Breaker — or just whisper “breaking news” into a microphone and we’ll appear, panicking.

EP 135 - Not Las Vegas

Season 6 · Episode 135

Saturday, November 22, 2025 • Duration 54:27

Sound the alarm and hide the microphones — it’s a special edition of The Monkey Seat!

For only the second time ever, Tom and Karl are in the same room… and, miraculously, the world hasn’t imploded (yet). To make things even more unpredictable, Karl’s son Killian joins the chaos — proving once and for all that bad opinions might just be hereditary.

This isn’t your usual race review — no tyre talk, no lap times, no analysis (not that there ever is). Instead, the lads are blowing up the F1 driver market and rebuilding it their way. The only rule? No one stays where they are. Expect questionable swaps, outrageous justifications, and enough driver reshuffling to make silly season look sensible.

It’s an episode full of laughter, bickering, and family-friendly anarchy — three voices, zero structure, and absolutely no chance of agreement. Basically, the most Monkey Seat thing ever.

If you want serious motorsport discussion, go find Grid Talk. But if you want three generations of chaos theory disguised as a podcast, you’ve come to the right grid box.

Catch Tom and Karl pretending to act like professionals on the Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk on all socials.

For proper motorsport journalism, head to f1chronicle.com, and for more Grid Talk goodness, hit linktr.ee/gridtalkuk.

Listen to The Monkey Seat on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn, Breaker — or just open a window, shout “contract chaos!” and we’ll appear, spreadsheets in hand.

EP126 - Preseason

Thursday, March 6, 2025 • Duration 43:02

Buckle up for another wild ride on The Monkey Seat with Tom and Karl, the hosts who know nothing about F1 but everything about making each other laugh.

In this episode, they’re previewing the new season, as well as predicting what will happen in 2025 with zero expertise.

The new season is fast approaching and as usual they will be handing out their Driver of the Day awards (don’t expect them to agree on anything) and crowning the Dick of the Day because, honestly, someone’s got to earn it.

The guys will also dive into the latest race – but don't worry, it’s less about in-depth analysis and more about ridiculous opinions and off-the-wall takes. Plus, they’re live on YouTube, interacting with fans in real-time as they try (and fail) to stay on track.

If you want serious race breakdowns, go to Grid Talk. But if you’re here for laughs, chaos, and questionable decisions, The Monkey Seat has you covered!If you want to hear more from the guys in a slightly more professional manner, they both are regulars on the Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk on all socials

Head to https://f1chronicle.com/for all the latest articles around Motorsport and head to linktr.ee/gridtalkuk to head straight to the Eargasmn that is the Grid Talk Podcast, every race weekend directly after the event to get up to the minute analysis on F1
