Ep55: Marko is Hit on by a Cop, Ox's Food Poisoning, Naughty Nurses & Sexy Schoolteachers.
Couple of BlokesShow Notes
Marko is torn. He has what he calls an amazing, yet massively inappropriate story about something that happened in the golfing world in 1998 which has never been publicly told. He wants to tell the story, but Ox bans the story from being told on the podcast. Marko pushes on with his desire to tell the story. It doesn't happen on the pod today, and we'll need to take it offline to see if there is a possibility it can be told. We'll get back to you on this and see where it lands.
On with the show. Ox claims to be an expert on KFC, and reckons nobody knows more about KFC than he does. He tells a story about a bad experience at KFC - which can happen at any food joint, so it's not a crack at KFC - and it's a shocker. It happened the night before his first ever trip on a plane.
Marko raises a concern. Ox promised the family photos of his yabby trip, and he has not shared one single photo. Marko wants to see the pics. We'll whack em on socials. Ox chats about the trip, what the bait they used was - did they find some rabbits for bait? And how did the fruit work? Ox talks about zipping around the farm on a quad bike, and how dangerous they are. Ox and Marko talk about the time the brakes failed in a golf cart that Ox was driving, and a massive crash followed.
Family member Kevvie reckons he has a fact about KFC that Ox and Marko won't know. We give him a buzz. Leads to a convo about slogans the boys love. Ox and Marko know they loved the old AFL one from a hundred years ago, but they can't remember it....luckily sound guy Daz does, and digs it out. It's a ripper. Ox also liked the old Carlton footy club campaign, but for different reasons.
You may recall we spoke to Ox's Mum Mary on the show a week or two ago, and Marko checks in on how Mary's going after the somewhat heated chat on the podcast. If you haven't heard that pod it's episode 53 here and worth a listen.
Ox has a Civil Selfishness story to do with the Police. He's unhappy with them, and gives them a whack. If you're a cop, we'd love to hear your feedback on Ox's comments, you can be anonymous. Marko tells us about being pulled over by a booze bus and cracking a gag to the policewoman, it didn't end well. Ox reckons the cop was flirting with Marko, Third Man disagrees. Marko, unsurprisingly, is easily convinced that the policewoman was flirting with him. Ox and Marko then discuss what uniforms they find sexy.
We've had feedback on Marko whinging about his back getting sore when he whipper snips, and it reminds Marko of another example of Civil Selfishness to do with his local council and nature strips. Then the pod could take a pear-shaped twist when we have some feedback from Ox's accountant! The hotline goes and it's Mick on the phone with a suggestion for Marko's whipper-snipping issue.
And we wrap up with a couple of Johnny Cash songs, just before todays joke about yabbys. Who'd have thought.
We'd love you to follow a Couple of Blokes, and get involved with the show on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

We kick off the pod with Olympics chat, how great was it! Marko doesn't understand something about the cycling, we discuss. Leads to a chat about aerodynamics. Who'd have thought.
OX has come in a new fragrance today that he loves, and Marko is impressed. Ox feels that 'smell' is the strongest of all the senses, Marko disagrees. A debate ensues.
Marko has come in annoyed with an old lady at his gym, he reckons everyone there is also annoyed with her as she does something at the gym that Marko thinks is inappropriate.
The show starts today with Marko pumping up his own tyres over his coffee making ability, and Ox has been watching a show called The Bear which reminds him of Marko. We then discuss personalities with names that lend themselves to rhyming slang
If you're coming specifically for the Sniper interview - it's around the 29-minute mark. But if you want to hear the whole pod - we'd love that.
