Ep72: Ox 'We Need XXXL for Overweight ex-AFL Players' & Marko: 'Old People Are Stupid'

Controversial start when Marko self-reports something he has been copping criticism for. He apologises to The Ox for this particular behaviour, which Ox notes has been going for something like 20-years.

Ox then decides to give Titleist a whack for their sizing structure in clothing, specifically their lack of XXXL clothing. He called the Titleist boss to complain, did he get anywhere?

Marko poses a scenario to Ox and Third Man, something that happened to him at the weekend, and says that he will judge them based on their answer to this question. Then the grape-eating in supermarkets situation comes up again. Third Man mentions a mutual friend of his and Ox's who 'samples' the Scoop and Weigh / Pick and Mix section at Coles. Everyone is in agreement that this behaviour is not on.

Marko admits that he has not yet confronted the Maccas kid who mucked up his coffee order.

Ox is off to Bali for a quick holiday, he leaves tomorrow with a bunch of mates and his young bloke Coops. But there's a problem. To with his son's dumb-arse mate Alex who Ox describes as a "ripper kid, but dumb as dogshit". He says the only way through this problem is to blatantly lie. Ox and Marko are advocates for lying and believe it helps make the world go round.

Ox then reveals his approach to eating at restaurants. He has a theory that he stands by.

Our new segment 'Ox the Statman' is back, Ox has a stat on Fruit Loops for us. But Marko and Third Man have spotted a problem with Ox's approach to the stats. Ox defends himself over accusations he has been not putting enough effort into the stat segment.

Marko reveals that he was as drunk as he's been in a long time last friday, he explains what happened and his behaviour. He was mixing drinks, had sunk close to 10 before the main course came out. It didn't end well. Marko ended up at a nightclub called 'The Electric Lady Lounge'.

We hook into feedback from the family, including a ripper about Ox's call of the 2008 Grand Final. What a game!
