Show Notes

Marko has come in red-hot today, he is pissed off with a certain thing that some men do. He’s not happy, and thinks it is ridiculous. However, when women do this same thing, he reckons it's great.

We then discover that Ox has launched an instagram page called 'The Ox Presents'. See it here. It sounds a bit wanky but it’s for his speaking work - it’s a professional page, and he has a new website as well called davidschwarz.com.au. He’s disappointed at the lack of hits to his website. So do him a favour and hit it up. Third Man thinks he has discovered a flaw on the site, which embarrassingly for him is proven to be incorrect. Awkward.

And Marko reckons humans are weak because we aren’t living long enough. He reckons we should be making it to our 120’s. Ox doesn’t agree, he doesn’t want to be a burden, he’d rather slink off into the sunset.

Ox talks about Marko being consistently inappropriate on Twitter when he was drunk many years ago, on one occasion he thought he was sending a text message, but he was sending a tweet, one which wasn’t fit for public consumption. It was addressed via an intervention at the radio station where the big bosses pulled him in for a meeting. Ox talks about 'drunk rationalising', which is where you can rationalise anything when you’re drunk. This was how he ended up buying the Ab King Pro which he never used.

We chat about Marko being called a Cooker online by some randoms. We’re not sure he is a cooker, although he is convinced that there are aliens who have visited earth. Leads to a chat about left and right in politics, and what it means and where the boys sit. And Ox reveals a theory he has on restaurants, particularly Chinese restaurants. And we reckon he is bang on. We’d love your thoughts on his theory. And then Ox gives us some comments on cooking ducks. Ox and Marko then bring up the grape stealing issue again. Time to move on from this ludicrous issue.

Which brings us to Marko and his lack of shopping knowledge. Marko says he has not once bought the groceries, so we put him to the test on grocery prices. Does he pass? Noooo, he fails miserably. Marko calls plums a ’stupid fruit’. Ox makes the comment that rich people dress down, and don’t wear expensive clothes. And that is why they are rich. Which leads to some possibly racist impressions from both Ox and Marko.

Plenty of feedback this week, keep it coming, we want to hear your comments, questions and criticisms.
