  • Ep78: The Ox: "A Review into Simon Goodwin & the Demons Coaching Team is Essential'
    Aug 13 2024

    We kick off the pod with Olympics chat, how great was it! Marko doesn't understand something about the cycling, we discuss. Leads to a chat about aerodynamics. Who'd have thought.


    Raygun. We discuss. Ouch. Ox watched her try-out for the Olympics and describes her as being like under 14's vs an AFL team. She was awful, and Ox believes she should be fined. Ox and Marko watched the closing ceremony and loved it, Marko felt the Olympics were very phallic. He explains.


    Ox was at a 50th at the weekend, and got home in time to watch the water polo. He noticed something about he commentary which he thought was bizarre. We discuss some of the commentators at the games. Ox and Marko chat about the gymnastics and how on earth the athletes do what they do, and the diving as well.


    And after the break......Ox rolls out a very ordinary fact that he pretends is a stat. He's incorrect. At this point he is clearly ripping the piss.


    And then..... The Ox fires tip. He is angry about how his beloved Demons have performed and calls for a review into Simon Goodwin and the entire coaching department. He says that the administration have also leet the fans down and it has been another wasted year. He questions the handling of Angus Brayshaw, Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.


    After The Ox finished ripping the Demons a new one, we chat to one of his mates Waz who tells us a couple of stories about the big fella.


    We discuss Eftpos charges. Rivetting.


    Lots of feedback, including a consistent theme of feedback on one thing that you have asked Ox and Marko to stop doing on the pod.


    A couple of weekends ago, Ox and Marko hosted a fundraiser for Very Special Kids, and something extraordinary happened at the event which had everyone in tears, It's a wonderful organisation, and if you can spare a few bucks, you can find them here.


    And we wrap up the show, and the season, with a typically appalling joke.


    Thanks to the wonderful team at the E&S Trading Clearance Centre in Clayton, Melbourne on Dandenong Road - right opposite Ikea. After an incredible deal on amazing gear? You won't believe the prices!

  • Ep77: Ox Goes Drunk Shopping on Temu (Again) & Marko Says His Family 'Are a Grubby Bunch'
    Aug 6 2024

    OX has come in a new fragrance today that he loves, and Marko is impressed. Ox feels that 'smell' is the strongest of all the senses, Marko disagrees. A debate ensues.


    Marko has come in a bit grumpy today, he has a list of things that have pissed him off, and runs us through them.


    Ox has been drunk shopping on Temu again, he tells us what he's bought this time.


    We have discussion (argument) over deciduous trees. Two members of the pod hate them, one loves them. And then Ox lines up Marko over his story about being the heir to the Allens lollies fortune, Ox is calling BS on it and explains why. We hear Marko's story about how he used to use the Allens fortune as a way to pick up girls in his younger days.


    Leading up to Ox's Statman segment, Marko has a fact on Pluto - it's a ripper. Is Ox's stat as good? You the judge.


    Marko tells us about visiting India as a Tour Pro and something disturbing that he saw in the river in Delhi. We then get a stat from family member Jason about hippos, and Marko makes the ludicrous claim that he can outrun a hippo. Clearly incorrect, but he digs in. We do some research on the pod to prove him wrong. He digs in further.


    Ox then reveals the worst darts player he ever played against, and it happens to be a pod family member. However at the moment Ox has the darts yips, if you can help him then let us know on socials.


    And we wrap with a joke about grass.

  • Ep76: Spring Roll Update, Germaphobes, and Why Ox Thinks 'Nicholas Cage is a Douchebag'
    Jul 30 2024

    Marko has come in annoyed with an old lady at his gym, he reckons everyone there is also annoyed with her as she does something at the gym that Marko thinks is inappropriate.

    Ox discusses Botox, he’s decided to never get it. And he is not a fan of tattoos. We find that Ox has a medical condition. He explains what’s going on, there’s a fair bit. The big fella is falling apart! He’s been squirting stuff up his nose to help with one of his conditions, and he’s decided he loves it. And Ox then starts telling us how much he enjoys sneezing. Strange.


    The hotline rings, and it’s Joe from Mernda in Victoria who has a comment on the supermarket grape saga. Joe’s a delivery driver and Ox reckons delivery drivers know a thing or two about pinching stuff….Joe denies this, and he seems like a good unit so we believe him.


    We have an update on the spring roll situation in 13th Beach Golf Course. Ox has a few more tweaks he’s keen to see at the club. He decides to try and get the new boss on the pod to run through his list of requirements.


    Ox is annoyed with supermarkets, not for the reasons you might expect.


    Back into the statman segment with The Ox. Will Marko be happy with his stat today? It’s a bit inappropriate and we’re not convinced at all that it is a stat, it feels more like a fact.


    We toss around ideas on the ‘homework’ from last week: what is a question you could ask someone and if they were honest, their answer would tell you if they are a good person or not. We hear a bunch of your questions, and we give some of ours.


    Ox has been off Twisties for some time, he admits that he has fallen off the wagon because he has been stressed. On food, specifically soup: Ox has a recipe that he reckons is a ripper, and he’s making some soup to bring to his local golf club for the boys. It’s what he calls an ‘oxymoron’ soup.


    Both Ox and Marko watched the Head of the Secret Service get grilled by a politician in the US, and decide to play the exchange…it was intense, worth listening through the whole thing.
