Big news! Our sound guy Daryl has shaved off his moustache, and about time. He fought the good fight, but has (as Ox put it) buckled to the pressure to dump it.

Ox is disappointed with how tame the pod WhatsApp group is, he feels he's been dropping some comedy gold, usually inappropriate, and getting donuts. His theory is because Third Man's wife Jay is in the group everyone (except Ox) is on their best behaviour. He also reveals how many dick pics he has sent in his life.

We discuss moustaches and whether they are appropriate. The general view is that in the 70s they were cool, but not these days. Marko believes that young people these days are competing to look stupid - and moustaches are part of that. He feels sorry for ladies in their 20's because blokes look ridiculous.

Ox and Marko are fans of Tina Arena, and used to love Young Talent Time, we sing a rendition of the theme song live on the pod.

Marko has arranged Ross the Miner to call in and tell us about what Ross reckons is his terribly sad punting story; he'll buzz later in the show. Marko reveals a rort that happened when he was playing golf - not from him, but from his caddy. He has never revealed this before. He then discussed a famous golfer who went ballistic because the sandwiches weren't free at The Australian Open, and how by naming this bloke on radio and calling him a dickhead, he (Marko) was issued with a fine from the Golf governing body. We then discover that Marko threw a low-level tantrum over the sandwiches at a recent golf tournament. Ironic. But back to Marko's rort story. Not by him, but his caddy Tommy doing something very shonky during a tournament.

Ox has brought a 'Can We Still Be Friends' scenario involving his bank which requires the cone of silence, so we can't reveal in the show notes what he is touching on. What happens in the cone of silence must never be spoken about, it's like the first rule of fight club.

We get a call on the hotline from Tony in Narooma, NSW, who gives us insights into the origins of our fave, the KT26 shoes.

Ox starts talking about his old haunt Beechworth, where his Mum still lives, and he reckons the road to Beechworth is boring with nothing to see - but he has noticed lots of roadkill, and he has a problem with it. Marko wants to hear from a wildlife officer; if you are one, or know one, drop us a message here. And if you have a super-easy job, we want to hear about it.

Feedback this week, there is a lot, and we always love running through your comments and thoughts.

We explore what Hoodies Magazine is. Marko says he knows all about it, but does he? Ox and Third Man have no idea. Mark proves he does by showing Ox a message from Ben, the owner of Hoodies. Whilst Ox has Marko's phone, footy superstar Corey McKernan messages in which derails the podcast, and we realise that Ross the Miner hasn't called back....the whole pod has gone to shite!
