Couple of Blokes

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


Listen Later

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.
