Ep62: Ox's Billion Dollar Business Idea, Marko's Hot Balls, and the Perfect Murder
April 09, 2024 · 41 min

Another big pod this week, which starts with Ox and Marko sailing very close to defaming a member of the team. Dennis Denuto may have a case on his hands here after Ox and Marko absolutely line up Third Man and layer plenty of mayo on a certain situation. This may be the final pod ever.

But we recover. And Ox has a business idea that he believes will make billions, not millions, but billions for anyone who is renovating. This product Ox has invented sounds a bit strange, but Marko is genuinely impressed with the concept and reckons it will work.

Ox has also seen a new golf ball that goes 25 yards further than other golf balls, they're expensive, but he rates them. Marko points out that they are illegal for competition and tells the story of a pro golfer called Jumbo who used 'hot balls' in competition. But Marko reckons if you use these with your mates, you'll hit longer, and they'll never know.

There has been another incident of dogs taking dumps on nature strips. We discuss possible punishments for owners who allow this to happen.

Ox reveals he is a listener to the love songs radio station Smooth FM, and he is sick of hearing them playing a certain song 3 times a day. Have they? We do the research and reveal if Ox is correct. When he's not listening to Smooth, Ox loves a good podcast, and he has discovered a new one that he is riveted to and reckons we need to check out. It's called 'Shadow of Doubt'.

Marko asks Ox if he remembers Blankety Blanks, which he does of course, but Ox has never heard of the crow call that Graham Kennedy was famous for. We then chat about older TV shows that we liked. Ox reveals a fun fact about the TV show Thunderbirds, and Marko decides that Ox should bring more stats to the pod.

We then discuss the perfect murder technique. If you had to murder someone how would you do it, what is the perfect way to get away with it. Ox has a couple of options he'd go with, Marko has an approach he'd use, and Third Man has a technique he would use. Ox and Marko are unimpressed with Third Man's murder technique.

Speaking of crime - Ox has an update on Trev the burglar. Pod listener Justin has asked if we can get Trev on the pod, Marko agrees, but Ox says it is not a good idea given Trev is a bit of a wildcard.

Ox has a Can Will Still Be Friends scenario for Marko to do with wine and dinner parties. Leading to a regifting conversation.

Plenty of feedback this week. Marko copping a whack for not delivering Ricky Ponting, deservedly so. And plenty of people pumping up Ox's performances calling the footy on SEN. And there is another whack, this time for Ox from pod listener Tim, also well deserved.
