Big episode of the show today and it starts with an argument over beer. Specifically over Furphy. And Marko calls Ox a disgrace for drinking beer at 11 in the morning. But back to Furphy - we try to solve the problem of where Furphy is from, is it Shepparton or Geelong? But after we finish with the Furphy issue, Ox gives us an update on Wayne Carey and Tom Lynch. Unsurprisingly it’s not good news. Ox has let the family down again. He does try to divert attention from the issue by talking about squash. Disgraceful.
Ox has a life hack to share, it has to do with pubs and toilets - sounds weird, but Marko is on board. It morphs into a possible business idea, Ox could make millions from this, if he does we could share the profits with the Couple of Blokes, Couple of Beers family.
Marko reckons kids these days talk a different language, and has a word that they use which he hates. Ox has one as well, and shares a story about a Friday night drinking session with Cameron Ling, Wayne Carey and Mark Robinson which ended very badly due to a certain word.
The boys discuss words that they used when they were young, heaps of fun ones, let us know if you have any words that were big when you were a teenager, but have disappeared, we’d love to hear them.
It’s like an episode of Wordle or Scrabble on todays show, that’s how much ‘word’ chat the boys are into today.
Marko has an example of Civil Selfishness from planes, and he’s hot under the collar about it, in more ways than one. Strap yourself in for this one. He was on a flight this week, and was unimpressed with the TV show that the bloke next to him was watching on his phone. Plane etiquette violated. Side-note, Marko reveals a fun game he plays with plane WiFi.
Whilst on TV shows - Marko reveals he has never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones, but his wife Trish loved it. Ox shares a theory, which he reckons is a fact, about 50 Shades of Gray - we’ve put a poll up to see if he’s on the money.
Family member Simon the Irrigation Installer calls the show with a ripping story about him and a bunch of mates on a big weekend in Launceston. Ox, somewhat inappropriately, asks Simon a very personal question about his wife and 50 Shades of Gray. Awkward all round really.
Feedback is plentiful this week. We love it, keep it coming. And feel free to give the boys a whack if you reckon they deserve it. Marko reveals the time he was in an elevator with a very famous supermodel, who gave him nothing, and a family member reckons AFL start Campbell Brown has lopped Marko off at the knees in the love department, from back in their single days.
The discussion moves onto Chicken Nuggies, Ox’s favourite food, and we try to figure out what is in a Chiko Roll…nobody knows. If you have a particular food you loved as a kid, let us know on socials. Or if you know what is in a Chiko Roll!
As usual we wrap the show with a joke, and it is a fish joke today. Who’d have thought!
