Breaking news. This week the podcast kicks off with an update from Marko on 'Operation Bourbon and Beefsteak in Toorak'. He has discovered something about Ricky Ponting that may explain the lack of traction in getting Punter on the pod. Ox has a crack at Marko, and then we raise the Wayne Carey guest spot that Ox has promised - so, Ox calls Duck live on the pod, with no warning, to have a chat.

Ox has bought a new car, well a second-hand one, and he bought it in Canberra. But there was a shock for him, not to do with the car, but to do with the flight up. Ox's trip up was on Jetstar, and he was unhappy about some excess baggage charges, particularly given the flight was already expensive. Ox reckons airlines are rinsing us on flight prices to Canberra. Marko comes up with a killer slogan for Rex Airlines....it could be a winner!

And then Marko talks about when he was in Canberra last year and bumped into three nutbags: Jacqui Lambie, Pauline Hanson and Bob Katter. If you haven't seen Bob Katter's crocodile/gay people comments, check the video here it is hilarious. But all three, Jacqui, Pauline and Bob are absolute lunatics, which leads to a chat about politicians with short careers. Mal Meninga and Billy Brownless being the two that come to mind. We have a listen to Mal's famous press conference. So good.

Back to Ox. He drove the car back from Canberra to Geelong and he had to stop for a nap halfway, which reminds Marko of some very ordinary behaviour from his Dad on a road trip from Sydney to Melbourne.

Marko has a 'Can We Still Be Friends' scenario, he's got a problem with Third Man and wants to discuss it. He's not happy.

Family member Nath wants to have a chat about something he heard on a recent podcast about blokes called Randy. Which leads to a chat about the 70s singer Randy VanWarmer, and the 70s, ahem, actor Dirk Diggler. We explore on the google machine if both of those performers had a stage name or if it was their real name.

But...hold everything. Ox has seen some 'I don't wanna be a hero' action. To do with a nasty car accident, that could have been even worse. We'll post the pics on socials. Ox's kids have bought him a nose hair trimmer. He reckons it's a thoughtful present, Marko reckons the kids are sending a message. Ox reveals that he is using the nose hair trimmer on a part of his body that it isn't meant to be used on.

Marko has a possum issue at home, he has a possum taking a dump and leak on his car, but as they're protected species he can't kill it. None of us can figure out why possums are protected.

Time for a joke to end the show. Who'd have guessed, the wheel lands on a possum joke - and it does not go well.

As always, 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....absolute rippers! 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!
