Couple of Blokes

Marko comes out of the blocks hot today with a theory, and Ox agrees with him. Both Ox and Marko think we have been getting lied to for years about this issue. Ox then decides to show off. Given Marko has the neighbour from hell, Ox reveals that his brand new next door neighbour is a top bloke - and explains why. It has to do with drinking and football. Who'd have thought Ox would be involved with...

On todays show Ox has come in looking sharp, and Marko notices. There is a surprising reason why, and it's good news....Ox explains. But there is a problem. Ox's darts performance has been poor recently, and this can only be revealed in the cone of silence, which he lowers down to reveal this issue. Marko is worried, it is a serious issue. It leads into a conversation about words that you can't sa...

Another fun show, today live from the Emerald Hotel - always great when we do the show from a pub. Couple of quiet beers, bit of a chinwag, how good. Last week we tried to get Seb Costello from A Current Affair on the phone, has he called Marko back? We find out on the pod today. Ox starts banging on about silverside (again). Marko isn't a fan. Ox reckons silverside is one of the great meals. Ox h...

We're really looking forward to this weeks show, lots to get through, might be a big one! Marko's come in with a scar on his noggin this week, he explains how he got it, and it's a classic example of a bloke in his 50's being dumb. But the scar is not the most interesting thing about the boys appearance today - Ox has brought a cape in, which was given to him by Pistol Pete who listens to the podc...

So Ox and Marko have been running a competition for two or three weeks - share the podcast with some mates, crack a joke in your 'share' and they'll just the best joke to come to lunch and beers with them - with the boys picking up the tab. Unless you order a shandy, in which case you can buy your own drinks. We'll be honest. The calibre of jokes were underwhelming. But nonetheless we found 3 that...

Live from the Railway Hotel today, and Ox thinks it is breaking news that the Railway Hotel is near a railway line. Who'd have thought. Marko wants to know is there any Railway Hotel anywhere in Australia that is not close to a railway. Ethan (from behind the bar) brings the beers around to the boys - a pint for Ox and a pot for Marko. Ethan says shandys are a big seller, which Marko loves, until...

Okay so today we're having a couple of quiet brewskis at the Chelsea Heights Hotel in the Sports Bar. Ox and Marko are trying to figure out who the most famous person from the Chelsea area and surrounds might be, Lethal Leigh Matthews gets a run - and we discover that neither Ox or Marko have heard of the rock band Jet, who are from nearby in Dingley, and who had a massive hit with ' Are You Gonna...

And we're back. Live from the Mountain View Hotel, the show gets off to an awkward start when everyone realises that we all forgot to tell them we were coming. But Shaz at the bar helps out nonetheless, and she's a ripper. Ox has a business idea, selling blue rinse dye for hair. Marko is polite about this idea, because Ox has turned up in a grumpy mood - he's got a problem at home with his washer...

We're live in the pub today, having a couple of quiet beers. And we start the show with Marko asking questions about nasal hair, and this flows into an ear hair discussion. Ox reckons it's a mid-40s male issue. Ox and Marko are live from the Burvale Hotel in Melbourne, a pub where one of Ox's mates lost his two front teeth years ago. Ox is keeping his eyes peeled for them. The Burvale used to be k...

Another fun show, and we've got a heap of feedback from the Couple of Blokes, Couple of Beers family, which we'll run through. But no time for that first up, because Marko has seen what he believes to be Civil Selfishness on the way to the podcast today. He's outraged. Reasonable or ridiculous? You be the judge. Ox has a question about window washers at traffic lights which exposes Marko as a tigh...

It's another big show and Ox has turned up looking sharp and smelling schmick. Marko has noticed and is impressed. Leads to a fun conversation on cologne, because Ox has found an old bottle of Fahrenheit, and he's loving it. They discuss their go to colognes, their faves. This leads onto hair products and facial cream. Quite ridiculous really, sounds like an Adore Beauty or Mecca podcast. But....i...

No time to muck around today, because Ox has two 'I Don't Want to be a Hero' stories. The first one a long bow. Something about a heater not working, we're not sure, we only half-listened. But the second, holy hell the second story.......Ox was an actual hero in this one, helping a little old lady who'd been in a dreadful car accident in Geelong. You have to hear it - it will blow your mind. Speak...

This week, we're at a pub, in fact at Melbourne's Matthew Flinders Hotel. We're in the band room, which is largely empty and cavernous! But it's a great room, there is a bar, and importantly there are beers. Ox and Marko start the show chatting about Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson and Rodney Rude, and whether they've been 'cancelled' or are still performing. Ox reckons adult entertainment at suburban sport...

This weeks show is XXX rated as Ox and Marko go slightly off the rails with their content. Not the whole show of course, Ox has a follow up on the MCG cashless issue he had last week, he has found one place you can spend cash at the G, and it's a surprise! Ox also has an update on Heather Mackay - has he got her or not? We find out. And what about Marko's homework on Ricky Ponting and Andrew Gaze?...

This is the week that Ox has to deliver Rob Mills on the show, or donate $500 to a charity of Marko's choice. It's been 6-weeks and Marko has had enough of waiting. Feedback from the 'Couple of Blokes, Couple of Beers' family, and you have spoken loudly about the ridiculous photo of Marko showing his chest. There is also feedback from you on the photo of Ox looking at a beer like he wants to marry...

We decide to not even talk about Ox's Rob Mills quest today. He has let us down again and for the 6th week failed to deliver Millsy. Embarrassing. This week on the show Ox has a massive problem with the mighty MCG, and lines them up over an issue he has with the ground. As strange as it sounds, he might have a point. Marko reckons the issue Ox raises is Un-Australian. But there was another issue,...

This week the show starts with a chat about colognes after Ox and Marko are impressed with how good Producer Daz is smelling, and looking. We find out the boys favourite colognes from back in the day when they were in their prime. But onto more important things - Ox has failed us for a couple of weeks now, surely this week he redeems himself by getting Rob Mills on the show. We'll find out, everyo...

After a heated conversation about whether chicken belongs on pizza or not, with Ox a firm yes, and Marko a hard no - your comments on the socials, and on our poll were next level. So....we decided to do a bonus episode to reveal the results and put it to rest once and for all as to whether chicken belongs on pizza or not....it went pear-shaped. Follow a Couple of Blokes, Couple of Beers and get in...

After Ox failed us last week by not delivering Rob Mills to the studio, this week is his chance to redeem himself and bring Millsy in. We were disappointed last week, but we’re very excited to have Millsy in this week. That aside - Ox has done his other homework, which was to find out what Tofu is made of. Which he does. It sounds awful. We also find out about the night that Marko spent in prison...

Very exciting show this week, Ox had homework and has promised to sort Rob Mills as a guest, everyone is excited to see Rob today... how did the chat with Rob go? Find out on the pod. Ox and Marko get into an argument over whether Guy Sebastian is better than Shannon Noll, and Marko makes a massive claim about John Farnham. The boys discuss what they would have done, had they not been a footy play...

It’s a very special episode today of Couple of Blokes, Couple of Beers today with Ox and Marko, and one that really has struck our hearts. Ox and Marko talk with Jarryd, who works in emergency services, and along with his wife Jamie have been through some extraordinarily difficult challenges with their beautiful daughter Millie, where they nearly lost her. And whilst the story is an emotional one,...

Happy 10th show to us! Who'd have thought we'd get this far. This week we're live at Bells Hotel in South Melbourne, and it gets off to a bad start when Ox and Marko have a crack at Producer Daryl for wearing a cardigan. Pot/Kettle from Marko who's got prior form in this area, and borderline defamatory. Daryl may be engaging lawyers, so we might start a GoFundMe. The boys chat about the amazing Br...

This week Ox and Marko again explore Civil Selfishness, and Marko has some strong opinions on traffic light etiquette, but Ox might just have a genius solution to Marko's concerns. Ox then turns into stats man, giving stats on American road accidents. Why? No idea. He just did. The convo then moved onto American mass shootings and the numbers, which are genuinely terrifying and Mark revealed his e...

We kick off this episode with Ox revealing why he hates the beach - despite the fact that he lives at the beach. Ridiculous. He also hates people who sunbake at the beach. He's on a tirade, maybe he got out of the wrong side of the bed. Marko has a theory that anyone who sunbakes at the beach is showing off. Suns out guns out! The boys talk crazy competitions like hot dog eating competitions, wife...

On this episode, a very special guest intros the show with a callback to an unfortunate incident in Marko's golf career. Ox and Marko debate whether you can, or can't, have gold plated teeth and it then moves into the boys theory of evolution and how animals have evolved. Don't ask. We can't figure out that tenuous link either. Ox suggests that they might revisit 'evolution chat' in a future episo...
