This weeks pod gets off to a rough start when Marko discovers that his coffee from McDonalds has been made with the wrong milk. He is unhappy, and is considering going back and lining up the kid who made it. Ox remembers a story about a Mackas incident that happened to him which makes him think he is getting old.

Third Man doesn't believe that Marko going back to the Mackas to line up the kid who made the coffee, Ox and Marko both think he has no choice and the kid deserves to be pulled in line as this will lead to more bad behaviour. We then discuss issues with Red Rooster and their stock management.

Ox has some breaking news on the Bellarine Peninsula. The first involving Wayne 'Duck' Carey opening a new 'entertainment establishment' in Geelong....who'd have thought. Ox tells us about the time he went to one of these establishments on a bucks night and the entertainers were mostly pregnant, which he believes is poor rostering and it dampened the mood of the bucks night. His advice for Duck, pregnant women not the best rostering option. The discussion takes an awkward turn when Marko believes women in this line of work need to be taught about contraception....which is fundamentally ridiculous on so many levels, so Ox and Third Man are distancing themselves from his comment. Complaints should be addressed to Marko.

Ox moves onto his other breaking news from the Bellarine involving a high profile former politician who has bought a house in Barwon Heads, which could mean an issue for Ox's golf club. Marko finds it hilarious, Ox is concerned. On 13th Beach Golf, there has been a twist on the Duck Spring Roll issue, which has evolved to other food offerings. Marko reckons the club is not looking after its members. Ox raises another concern at 13th Beach Golf Club about the coffee machine and when service starts.

Ox the Statman is back with a cracking stat this week about pigs, and a second stat about elbows. And then he bangs out a third stat on crocodiles!

Third Man plays some audio that he heard during the week featuring the guys who must be the dumbest criminal in the world. Ox admits that he's done quite a few dumb things over the journey, he tells us about his dumb decisions involving multiple gym memberships. Very funny. But not financially responsible. Ox is about to have a few days in Bali with his young bloke, and when he gets back he intends to address the gym issue.

Have you done this? Ox wants to hear how you have wasted money, he doesn't want to be alone on this issue.

We chat about the legendary John Blackman's passing a couple of weeks ago. Ox and Marko knew him well.

Ox raises a song that he thinks everyone knows. They don't. Marko and Third Man have never heard of the song, or of the singer he's talking about. And we have a family member who has analysed Marko's Willy Wonka dream.
