Ep22: Jockeys, Rangas, & Ox's Underwear Problem

06/13/23 • 37 min

And we're back. Live from the Mountain View Hotel, the show gets off to an awkward start when everyone realises that we all forgot to tell them we were coming. But Shaz at the bar helps out nonetheless, and she's a ripper.

Ox has a business idea, selling blue rinse dye for hair. Marko is polite about this idea, because Ox has turned up in a grumpy mood - he's got a problem at home with his washer and dryer which has led to an awkward underpants situation, we can't even try to describe it, it's quite ridiculous. Ox wants to know if you can still be friends with someone who does what he has done with his underpants.

Ox and Marko discuss trust. Workplace, relationships, golf course. Ox has a theory on an extremely trusting act that we all do which involves shopping centre carparks. Marko agrees. The boys then discuss the most untrustworthy sportsperson category. Ox decides he wants to call Damien Oliver live on the podcast, Marko makes the call that Ox is not allowed to.

Marko reckons we put a disproportionate amount of trust in dentists. Ox tells a story about when he and Marko went to hospital for a full medical, and the trust required when the exam is occurring.

Marko tells a story about his Dad training greyhounds in East Gippsland, and how they bred the dogs with the help of a bloke called Wristy Rick. Which leads to a chat about jobs that the boys wouldn't want to do. Ox pumps up vets, reckons they've got a tough gig, harder than being a doctor.

Plenty of feedback on the show this week, including the results of our discussion on rangas. Plenty of comments from you on good looking male rangas, Ox and Marko agree that Michael Fassbender is a good looking rooster. We chat to Steve the surveyor who has called in with a civil selfishness suggestion, it has to do with shopping trolleys, the boys agree 100% with Steve. We also get Steve's view on the Brad Pitt / George Clooney poll. Ox and Marko want to know if being a surveyor helps with the ladies. Unsurprisingly it doesn't.

Ox reckons pilots are massive wankers when it comes to using their job as a pickup line.

We get the poll results on our Brad Pitt / George Clooney poll.

Ox discovers that Marko has only ever read three books. And he tells us what they are.

We hear a story about Ox getting abused on the golf course by a bloke who later became one of his best mates. This bloke has given him a massive gobfull of abuse, and they've still become friends.

And we end the show on, surprisingly, not too bad a joke.

Ep21: Nose Rings, Nasal Hair and Nudists

We're live in the pub today, having a couple of quiet beers. And we start the show with Marko asking questions about nasal hair, and this flows into an ear hair discussion. Ox reckons it's a mid-40s male issue.

Ox and Marko are live from the Burvale Hotel in Melbourne, a pub where one of Ox's mates lost his two front teeth years ago. Ox is keeping his eyes peeled for them. The Burvale used to be known for being a bit rough, which leads into a chat about what other pubs are famous for - Ox and Marko list a few, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on your local pub - what is it famous for?

Cold beers are delivered by Ebony, so Ox and Marko have a chat about her history working in pubs, and find out what her previous pub, the San Remo, was famous for. Ox reckons Ebony is lovely and can handle herself, but he doesn't like the nose-rings, even though he thinks they work for Ebony. Marko says it's a generational thing. What else can the younger generation do well that a couple of old blokes like Ox and Marko can't do?

Ox tells a story about using a voice to text machine years ago because he couldn't type. It ended badly.

Marko follows up Ox as to whether he's done his homework in getting Heather Mackay on the show. And whether he's arranged Kevin Bloody Wilson or Rodney Rude. Ox has let us down. But has Marko arranged Ricky Ponting? We get an update, and Marko is promising a big outcome. Has Marko arranged the Great White Nudist? Disappointment ensues. Ox has an idea to set up a date with Heather Mackay and Greg Norman.

Ox decides that we need to get Daniel Ricciardo on the show. Let's add him to the list.

Plenty of feedback on the show this week, and we chat to Sean the Storeman who has a couple of things to pick the boys up on, he reckons they've over-promised and under-delivered. He does have a great idea for a competition, which Ox and Marko rate. So here it is: if you share the link to this podcast, with a joke you reckon can work on the show and if yours is the best joke, you might score an invite to have a couple of beers over lunch with Ox and Marko.

But back to feedback....and there is lot of it, some positive, and some not so good as per usual. Last week Ox and Marko posed the idea that attractive red-headed women are plentiful, but attractive red-headed blokes are few and far between. No time to discuss on the pod this week, but we'll get some of your ideas next week.

Ep23: Ox: If I Wasn't a Demon, I'd Be a Collingwood Person

Okay so today we're having a couple of quiet brewskis at the Chelsea Heights Hotel in the Sports Bar.

Ox and Marko are trying to figure out who the most famous person from the Chelsea area and surrounds might be, Lethal Leigh Matthews gets a run - and we discover that neither Ox or Marko have heard of the rock band Jet, who are from nearby in Dingley, and who had a massive hit with 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl'!

But no time for that. We have a potential defamation situation on our hands that requires sensitivity in dealing with. Darren the Banker calls through, and he is seriously considering suing Marko for defamation. Ox reminds Darren that the Demons fanbase is heavily made up of lawyers. Find out what has happened on this weeks episode, and whether Marko apologises or not.

Ox reckons that he is a great 'apologiser', and that he can deliver a sincere sounding apology, or statement, like nobody else, and gives an example by pumping up Collingwood supporters. It sounds impressive and sincere....but is it?

Civil Selfishness. Ox has an issue with teenagers and something they do. Marko disagrees, until Ox clarifies one small point, at which point Marko changes his mind. Sounds like challenging conversations with a certain teenager in the Schwarz household.

Which leads on to when you know you are the head of your family, or when the kids assume the role.

Marko brings up a story from a previous episode about using the line about being the heir to the Allens Lolly fortune when he was chatting to the ladies, when he was a younger, single guy. And he's now thinking that it is time to pass on this approach to his 14-year old son. Unsurprisingly, Ox thinks it's a ripper idea.

Ox had a disaster at home. He has ruined his favourite shoes, and at the same time has damaged the carpet in the house. But, from this mishap has come a moment of genius, it has led to a business idea of Ox's, one that he reckons is a monty and will make him 'billions'.

Plenty of feedback from you on todays show, which we always love.

Ox talks about going to blue light disco's when he was 8-years old - sounds very early in life to do that, but he reckons kids in Beechworth grew up fast.

Marko poses a 'Can We Still Be Friends' scenario to Ox about aliens. Sounds like a joke, but Marko is seriously asking about aliens. Ridiculous and embarrassing.

Marko is on 2-weeks probation for stealing jokes. So Ox takes care of the joke today, and gives us a couple.

And time is running out to enter our competition to have lunch and a couple of beers with Ox and Marko - easy to enter, share the podcast and include a joke.
