Aaaaaand we're back. Ox and Marko are back from a couple of weeks off, and ready for a big show.

Breaking news: Marko ran into an ex-girlfriend at a local coffee shop and didn't know how to handle it. He decided to not tell Trish, which seems risky. Marko says that he was a terrible boyfriend and she should have dumped him.

On a more positive note, Marko has brought in a pack of Chickadees which we devour it in about 10 seconds. We discuss where chicken salt was invented, and find out the name of the bloke who invented it. We spend far too long discussing chicken salt and chickadees, but it was very tasty!

Ox reveals an issue with his local golf club - 13th Beach Golf Club. He has a problem with the menu, specifically the duck spring rolls. The numbers in each servings are not ideal, and the chef refuses to change the servings. He's also not happy that the club doesn't accept cash, which means it's difficult to hide how many beers you've had from your other half. He also thinks that menus are written in the wrong font. Too small, too light.

Speaking of restaurants, Marko is sad that Red Lobster in the US has gone out of business, and the reason is hilarious. Marko believes the line 'All You Can Eat' is a challenge, and restaurants are doomed if they go down that path.

Ox gives an update on the toilet that he put on his nature strip as a social experiment. Marko feels that 'toilet art' is a growing category of the arts. Ox and Third Man then have a debate over Wodonga vs Wollongong. And then Ox reveals another crime act that has been committed in Wodonga....is Trev responsible this time? It appears not. Ox says that his neighbours chook is the biggest one he's ever seen. We then talk chooks. Rivetting.

Speaking of animals, Ox the Statman is back, with a great stat about parrots.

Third Man asks if Ox and Marko have seen Baby Reindeer. Marko has no idea about it, Ox has been advised not to watch it. On further investigation, he heard this advice on Smooth FM. Third Man wants Ox and Marko to watch it as homework. Marko is keen as he's got no shows at the moment he's watching, and Ox has just rewatched Peaky Blinders.

We find out that Marko is 'dog-ist'. He didn't like Woodrow from Simon Townsends Wonder World, and he thinks Third Man's dog Archie is 'stupid' because he sleeps all day.

Feedback: Comments on Ox's joint in Wodonga and some of the happenings there. We reveal the results of our recent poll 'Is Joel a Dickhead', referring to the letter that Joel West wrote to 3AW complaining about Ox. And we've received a letter to The Ox supportive of Joel, we'll publish it on our socials. Ox then reveals a weird fact about kitty litters which neither Marko or Third Man believe is true. We wrap the show with a joke, this time it lands on pizza, Ox's fave!

We're here thanks to Paul & Kurt at the E&S Trading Clearance Centre in Clayton, Melbourne on Dandenong Road - right opposite Ikea. After an incredible deal on amazing gear? You won't believe the prices! We'd love you to follow a Couple of Blokes, and get involved with the show on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. If you've got a comment or feedback, feel free to send a voicemail to Ox and Marko here. And don't forget to subscribe, rate and review the podcast wherever you listen!

Recently The Ox came up with a cracking idea to develop gloves made of sandpaper for working on timber, walls, anything really that requires sanding. Brilliant! And yes, we've had multiple messages from listeners saying that the idea already exists, but we're not the kind of podcast to let that get in the way.

So, with thanks to the Couple of Blokes Sound Engineer Daz, we present to you Ox's radio commercial for the Hand Sandy as premiered recently on the Couple of Blokes podcast.

We're in the process of booking the ad onto radio stations all over the country. Sadly for The Ox, his favourite station, Smooth FM have rejected it and said that they won't play it. We can't imagine why.

Ox and Marko are having a couple of weeks off, but the boys will be back live on Wednesday May 22 for Season 3 of the 'Couple of Blokes' podcast.

This episode was a bonus ep, and was the one that has received the most feedback that we've ever had. Largely from you speculating on whom the golfer concerned was, which for legal reasons we can't say. We'll replay it now, because you loved it - but - we reiterate a content warning. Don't listen to this ep with the kids around!

Thanks to our good mates at the e&s Trading Clearance Centre.....good time to drop in and rinse them for a bargain, and give Kurt a compliment on his latest hairstyle. They're on Dandenong Road in Clayton, right opposite Ikea.

See you on next Wednesday !

Over the break we'll replay some of the episodes that are most memorable in the boys minds. Marko loved the ep where The Ox revealed the drinking game that used to take place on Melbourne Demons end of season trips, which the seasoned players knew how to navigate, the younger ones a little less so. Very funny. On this replay episode you'll hear all about it.

Over the break we'll replay some of the episodes that are most memorable in the boys minds. Earlier this season Marko told a story about being pulled over by policewoman. The Ox reckons she was hitting on him - Mark was far too quick to agree that it was indeed what was happening. There is no evidence to support this, but Marko is very happy to go with it. Ridiculous, but funny. Have a listen.

Over the break we'll replay some of the episodes that are most memorable in the boys minds. Today, an episode we loved. We got The Ox's Mum on the phone, because he wanted to address the issue of the Bumblebee bike she bought him - and wowee did Mary line up The Ox and give him a pantsing live on the pod!

Over the break we'll replay some of the episodes that are most memorable in the boys minds. Today, the time we discovered Marko was accepting dozens, hundreds even, of friend invites from random women on the Couple of Blokes socials - they all turned out to be OnlyFans girls. Awkward.

See you on May 22!

The team is apart today. Ox live via whatsapp from Wodonga. Why not on Zoom or Teams? Mmmmm a very good question. Because Ox is renovating a joint there, he has no WiFi, and the 4G or 5G or whatever it is, is shizen in Wodonga. So today, we get The Ox via his Nokia 3310, and sound quality to match.

We start the show discussing Kurt from the e&s Trading Clearance Centre who has another new haircut. Ox and Marko are not impressed. Kurt is getting out of control, we may need to discuss with Robbie & Paul, the e&s higher ups.

Marko has an issue with his deck at home, and given Ox is deep in renovations, he wants advice on how to sort it. Ox manages to find a way to turn this conversation into a plug for his Hand Sandy invention - which we still think is guaranteed to make us billions. We play the jingle again - coming to your favourite radio station very soon. We discuss if we may win an award for the jingle for the Hand Sandy? Highly likely.

Onto a first world problem that from Marko. His pants in his wardrobe are not in colour-coded order, and he is unhappy. He then decided to clean out his wardrobe of some older clothes he doesn't wear anymore, and has discovered a challenge shopping for new clothes. This is indeed a first world problem, barely worth listening to - perhaps fast forward through this part of the pod. But there's more. Mark lines up his wife Trish who is not following the labels he has created in the walk-in robe. He accidentally put on a V-neck instead of a Crew-neck top today, and in the world of Marko, this is Trish's fault. Divorce may be on the cards.

However....Mark solved his first world problem by going to Ox's fave website Temu, a business that Third Man believes may be shonky, Ox and Marko disagree. Third Man has an accusation against Marko which may involve criminal liability. Marko says he is innocent and defends himself. Ox and Third Man are not entirely convinced. Marko shows us how he sends text messages, using only his voice, when driving and gives a live demo, which goes pear-shaped when he messages the wrong person.

Ox wants to discuss country people, to do with people who ride electric bikes. Nobody wore helmets when we're kids, and Ox doesn't believe bike helmets look cool, saying they all make the wearer look like a wanker. Marko kids riding on side streets don't need to wear helmets. He's wrong clearly. Ox tells a story about breaking his bike in half when he was a kid.

Ox starts a social experiment re: an old toilet on his nature strip and how long it will last. We'll keep you up to date on the socials with how it goes. Marko cops a whack from a listener about never doing grocery shopping. And we've been sent a business idea from Matt, who wants Ox to give him a slogan. Ox obliges. Marko loves both Matt's idea and the slogan as well.
