This weeks podcast starts with a debate about whether we can drink beer at 9am, which is the time that we recorded this episode. Leading to a chat about an other drinks that we might have enjoyed over the years, and what the 'kids' are drinking these days. Ox tells us about how he stops his son from drinking all his drinks in the bar fridge at home.
While we're talking drinking, Marko tells the story of being arrested when he first got to the US for driving on the wrong side of the road. We want to find his mugshot from the Lubbock City police department in Texas. Talking mugshots, Ox and Marko chat about the Nick Nolte one, and the Hugh Grant mugshot. Mark cannot believe Hugh Grant was going out with Liz Hurley at the time he did the wrong thing. Ox agrees, and both reckon Liz Hurley has the greatest voice ever.
Given they're talking drinks, inevitably Ox and Marko start talking nightclubs; one of their favourite topics, and Marko tells a story about a night out at the New Orleans club in Melbourne in the 90s after 100 drinks which could have derailed his golf career. The pod switches tack then into stupid things we all did when we were younger. Ox talks about a nasty BMX accident caused by him being a muppet as a kid; and Marko talks about bad behaviour in a sponsor-provided car when he was 21 with six passengers in a 2-door car.
Ox and Marko want to hear your stories of stupid stuff you did when you were a kid. Let us know on the socials or leave us a voicemail here.
Ox tells another story about his mate Eggy who had a nasty incident involved his private parts jumping into a gorge with Ox when they were kids, an incident that still causes Eggy problems 30-years later. We're sympathetic, but it's also very funny. And somehow we end up talking about seagull stories. If you're a seagull lover, maybe fast forward through this part.
We get a voicemail from Gav who has a problem on public transport, and poses it as an example of Civil Selfishness. Marko is in vigorous agreement. It leads onto another business idea from Ox, which he thinks will make millions if Village Roadshow take it onboard. Ox then puts our podcast license at risk with an appalling story about Ballarat in Victoria.
Mark then raises a personal example of Civil Selfishness involving his and Ox's business, Assembled Media, involving the staff kitchen. Marko's obsession with neatness and cleanliness has caused him to get very worked up and he's not happy. Ox has a second business idea, that he reckons could make millions; this time Marko agrees! Watch this space.
Plenty of feedback this week, someone is getting a major whack, we get the results of our Sunnyboy, Glug and Razz poll, and we have feedback from The Mole, one of our fave twitter accounts, on Ox's recent overpriced breakfast at a cafe.
Marko tells us how he proposed to Trish. You'd think it would be romantic, you'd be very wrong.
