Thank goodness the big guy turned up today, after the disaster that was yesterday. The Ox needs to take a long hard look in the mirror. Is his apology heartfelt enough? You be the judge. But on with the show.

Ox tells us about some contraband that has been smuggled into his rehab centre. It's unsurprising, albeit entertaining. Marko claims that everyone is slightly sex addicted. Ox has a different view and explains it, after asking Marko about his 'max number' in a day. Horrifying.

On his day off yesterday, Ox went to get his passport redone, and is annoyed that you are not allowed to smile. Marko talks about his wife Trish in her drivers license photo when they first met, and nearly gets in massive trouble....he just manages to dig himself out of it. Marko then tells a story about how his relationship was nearly all over due to a misunderstanding over her preferred brand of milk!

But....Marko has come in fired up. You may recall his pride on his nature strip a week or two ago (revisit here), well there has been an incident on the nature strip. And it's significant. Marko says that the offender will be hunted down, he is on the warpath. The Ox has a confession. He had gone cold turkey on Twisties, but he has had a relapse and has eaten a half a party bag of Twisties.

He then moves on to asking Marko's advice on a mate of his who is 48 and going out with a 23-year old. Is the age gap too much. But hold that story, because Ross the Miner calls on the hotline - he was going to call through a couple of weeks ago, and didn't...he's a couple of weeks late, but that doesn't stop him lining up The Ox for being a day late. Ross has a story about his betting win as a teenager, and a story about dobbing in bad drivers.

After we chat to Ross, we get back to Ox's mates issue , and the question he has for Marko about age differences in relationships. But before we resolve it, Marko has forgotten to put his phone on mute, his phone rings and he answers it - it's his mate James who worked with radio legend Alan Jones, and now works with the Sydney breakfast superstar Ben Fordham. James is calling in to get Marko's advice on a relationship issue with a friend of his. Ox chips in with some advice on how to deal with the specific issue being raised.

Finally back to Ox's mates issue, which Marko gives his advice on. And the Ox tells a very funny story about his grandfather and a massive age difference issue.

Feedback this week is fun. Lots of comments, keep them coming, we love it. There's a brief argument about whether Ox has told his DJ Generic/Taylor Swift story before. Ox says no, Third Man says yes. Plenty of feedback on Marko revealing his crush on Tatum O'Neal. Marko tries to defend Ranga Roundup from Summer Heights High.

Ox is unhappy that the Talk Birdie To Me podcast drops the day before Couple of Blokes.
