Ep24: Aliens, Taylor Swift, and Tom Cruise

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 Ox asks a very pertinent question showing Marko to be a lightweight. It may lead to a name change for the podcast.Marko raises a Civil Selfishness question to do with council street sweepers, as he is concerned about leaves in the street and how they're handled. First world problem really, which Ox reckons is a fun new segment for the podcast. Ox then raises a 'Can We Still Be Friends' question about Hillsong and Scientology. Both the boys feel strongly about this one.Marko tells a great story about Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Stuart Appleby in Sydney. Ox then backs it up with a story about DJ Generic, Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift.Plenty of feedback this week as usual, we love it, keep it coming. Particularly if you want to give Ox or Marko a whack for something dumb they've said. Shouldn't be too hard to find something.This week, we have a new segment from Marko called 'ridiculous sports stories', and we hear a ripper from Marko's mate Biscuit. It is fantastic, strap yourself in, and keep in mind as you listen that Biscuit is 5 foot 7 inches. There is video evidence, which we'll whack on the socials. If you have a ridiculous sports story, we want to hear about it on the socials.Homework update. Marko gives us a Ricky Ponting update. Ox gives us a Heather Mackay update, and it's not good. We also hear an update on Rodney Rude and Kevin Bloody Wilson. Marko gives us an update on the Great White Nudist, and Daniel Ricciardo.Ox does reveal a big name that he has arranged to come on the pod in the next couple of weeks. A massive AFL star.Has Marko done his window washer homework? Unsurprisingly, no. Slack-arse.And it's the last day or two for our competition to have lunch with Ox and Marko - share the pod, write a joke, and you might score an invite!Joke this week. Marko is still banned for plagiarism, so Ox gives us a gag today.Follow a Couple of Blokes, Couple of Beers and get involved with the show on social media here: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.
