Ep73: Ox Suspended From His Own Segment, Marko Hates on Councils, and Perth Cops a Whack

Ox is back from Bali, tanned, relaxed, but we discover zero colonics. We're not entirely sure we believe him.

He gives us an update on the fines situation and where he's at with them. He was a bit intimidated by the fines lady who he described as 'scary'.

Unlike Ox, Marko is not relaxed. He has come in worked up over a council in the Bellarine, Queenscliff council, who he is very disappointed in. He explains what they've done to piss him off. Marko wants to hear issues with councils.

Ox has come to the pod with a business idea. It has to do with McDonalds, and he reckons it's a game-changer....and on this occasion, it's pretty good! Love your thoughts on his idea. Marko is on board and feels it is one of Ox's best ideas ever.

We hook into some early feedback, including some constructive criticism from Johnno on our logo. Harsh. And we have another Married With Children comment, which leads us into the extremely common Frasier / Cheers conversation. And we get a message from Dargz about the Hand Sandys.

Ox reveals that he's happy to steal Tim Tams out of the work fridge.

Final feedback comes from Nick, who wants to provide a stat given Ox has been slacking off in the Ox the Statman segment. Nick takes over the segment and gives us a killer stat, showing Ox how it should be done. Following a comment from Nick, Ox and Marko reminisce about when Ox used to do music reviews with Francis Leach on SEN.

Ox then starts talking about how there seems to be an exodus out of Australia to escape winter at the moment. We try to entice Marko to tell us the mysterious opera singer story, he can't be tempted unfortunately. And then the pod takes a turn when Ox starts bagging out Perth, although he does love quokka's.

Thanks to the team 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!
