We're live in the pub today, having a couple of quiet beers. And we start the show with Marko asking questions about nasal hair, and this flows into an ear hair discussion. Ox reckons it's a mid-40s male issue.
Ox and Marko are live from the Burvale Hotel in Melbourne, a pub where one of Ox's mates lost his two front teeth years ago. Ox is keeping his eyes peeled for them. The Burvale used to be known for being a bit rough, which leads into a chat about what other pubs are famous for - Ox and Marko list a few, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on your local pub - what is it famous for?
Cold beers are delivered by Ebony, so Ox and Marko have a chat about her history working in pubs, and find out what her previous pub, the San Remo, was famous for. Ox reckons Ebony is lovely and can handle herself, but he doesn't like the nose-rings, even though he thinks they work for Ebony. Marko says it's a generational thing. What else can the younger generation do well that a couple of old blokes like Ox and Marko can't do?
Ox tells a story about using a voice to text machine years ago because he couldn't type. It ended badly.
Marko follows up Ox as to whether he's done his homework in getting Heather Mackay on the show. And whether he's arranged Kevin Bloody Wilson or Rodney Rude. Ox has let us down. But has Marko arranged Ricky Ponting? We get an update, and Marko is promising a big outcome. Has Marko arranged the Great White Nudist? Disappointment ensues. Ox has an idea to set up a date with Heather Mackay and Greg Norman.
Ox decides that we need to get Daniel Ricciardo on the show. Let's add him to the list.
Plenty of feedback on the show this week, and we chat to Sean the Storeman who has a couple of things to pick the boys up on, he reckons they've over-promised and under-delivered. He does have a great idea for a competition, which Ox and Marko rate. So here it is: if you share the link to this podcast, with a joke you reckon can work on the show and if yours is the best joke, you might score an invite to have a couple of beers over lunch with Ox and Marko.
But back to feedback....and there is lot of it, some positive, and some not so good as per usual. Last week Ox and Marko posed the idea that attractive red-headed women are plentiful, but attractive red-headed blokes are few and far between. No time to discuss on the pod this week, but we'll get some of your ideas next week.
