The team is apart today. Ox live via whatsapp from Wodonga. Why not on Zoom or Teams? Mmmmm a very good question. Because Ox is renovating a joint there, he has no WiFi, and the 4G or 5G or whatever it is, is shizen in Wodonga. So today, we get The Ox via his Nokia 3310, and sound quality to match.

We start the show discussing Kurt from the e&s Trading Clearance Centre who has another new haircut. Ox and Marko are not impressed. Kurt is getting out of control, we may need to discuss with Robbie & Paul, the e&s higher ups.

Marko has an issue with his deck at home, and given Ox is deep in renovations, he wants advice on how to sort it. Ox manages to find a way to turn this conversation into a plug for his Hand Sandy invention - which we still think is guaranteed to make us billions. We play the jingle again - coming to your favourite radio station very soon. We discuss if we may win an award for the jingle for the Hand Sandy? Highly likely.

Onto a first world problem that from Marko. His pants in his wardrobe are not in colour-coded order, and he is unhappy. He then decided to clean out his wardrobe of some older clothes he doesn't wear anymore, and has discovered a challenge shopping for new clothes. This is indeed a first world problem, barely worth listening to - perhaps fast forward through this part of the pod. But there's more. Mark lines up his wife Trish who is not following the labels he has created in the walk-in robe. He accidentally put on a V-neck instead of a Crew-neck top today, and in the world of Marko, this is Trish's fault. Divorce may be on the cards.

However....Mark solved his first world problem by going to Ox's fave website Temu, a business that Third Man believes may be shonky, Ox and Marko disagree. Third Man has an accusation against Marko which may involve criminal liability. Marko says he is innocent and defends himself. Ox and Third Man are not entirely convinced. Marko shows us how he sends text messages, using only his voice, when driving and gives a live demo, which goes pear-shaped when he messages the wrong person.

Ox wants to discuss country people, to do with people who ride electric bikes. Nobody wore helmets when we're kids, and Ox doesn't believe bike helmets look cool, saying they all make the wearer look like a wanker. Marko kids riding on side streets don't need to wear helmets. He's wrong clearly. Ox tells a story about breaking his bike in half when he was a kid.

Ox starts a social experiment re: an old toilet on his nature strip and how long it will last. We'll keep you up to date on the socials with how it goes. Marko cops a whack from a listener about never doing grocery shopping. And we've been sent a business idea from Matt, who wants Ox to give him a slogan. Ox obliges. Marko loves both Matt's idea and the slogan as well.

Breaking news !! There have been major developments in the development of Ox's recent business idea of the Hand Sandy. We are well on track to being billionaires. And we wanted to give you, the family members, the heads-up on what is happening.

Could you be a shareholder? Quite possibly. We are browsing real estate brochures from the Bahamas as we speak. Love your thoughts on these recent, and important, developments.

Has Marko done a sneaky deal with Coke as a sponsor? Sounds like it as he has come in banging on about Coke, describing it as a meal in a can, just like a salad sandwich. Ridiculous comparison, and one he made with a straight face.

Ox has had feedback on some of his comments on radio, and asks Marko and Third Man their view on the feedback from 3AW listener Joel. We all agree that Joel is a dickhead. We’ll put a poll up and see what you think. We also find out that 3AW’s Neil Mitchell had a person opening his mail in case it was booby-trapped!

Marko comes back to Coke (ka-ching), and suggests a new slogan. It’s awful. Ox mentions something that Fanta have been doing which is dodgy. Ox and Marko yak about Mountain Dew and Ox gives a stat about people in Mountain Dews hometown where they apparently drink so much that many residents don’t have teeth.

Marko has an idea for a new segment. Which needs an intro from Producer Daz - the Couple of Blokes confessional. Marko has something that he 'hates'. It is perhaps more a first world problem, than a confessional. Ox agrees with Marko, and they both decide that deciduous trees need to be banned. Mid-tree convo, the hotline rings - Mark from Sunshine calls with some constructive criticism about another factual error Ox and Marko have made on the show.

Back to confessions. Ox has something to admit. He has discovered a new food that he’s never eaten before and is in love with. He’s keen on any recipe suggestions that you can provide on this particular food. And our new segment, Ox the ‘statman', is back and he has two stats to present. Both absolute rippers. One to do with nipples, which leads to a story from Marko about this very stat, and second to do with cats.

Last week we heard about Marko’s drunk tweeting when he was at SEN, resulting in his boss having to intervene. Third Man was yakking to Marko’s old boss Johnno this week, who told another story about Marko losing his license. Marko fills in the details of what happened and why the cops nabbed him.

Feedback: lots of comments on dogs taking a dump on nature strips, with family members making all sorts of punishment suggestions. Most not legal. Marko is keen to know, from anyone who knows about guns, on whether you can feel the difference between firing real bullets and blanks. Ox thinks that a Nerf gun firing dog turds would be a big seller.

Family member Warren has a suggestion for the perfect murder technique. And Pam is a supporter of the ice knife technique. And there are some comments on Ox’s enjoyment of SmoothFM. Finally, we spin the wheel and it lands on a listener joke - family member Dave comes on to tell us a joke, and it’s a ripper. Turns out Dave is a huge Demons fan with a massive collection of Dees footy jumpers, he tells us about the collection….very impressive!
