If you're coming specifically for the Sniper interview - it's around the 29-minute mark. But if you want to hear the whole pod - we'd love that.
Ox notices Marko's 'painted' fingernail and is curious as to whether he is promoting some cause. The answer is somewhat less altruistic, and Marko explains what the sitch is.
Ox has a new segment idea he has called 'What Should I Do?'. It occurred to him when he bumped into a homeless bloke in Melbourne and shouted him some sushi. There were issues and Ox has questions and it leads to a long conversation about charities and charity collectors. Marko tries to defend his subscription to 'Hot Gray Mums' on Instagram.
We discuss the Trump shooting from the weekend in the US. Marko asks what would have happened in the shooter hadn't missed, and where the Secret Service were? Ox then pivots from Trump to Hooters. But back to Trump, and Ox and Marko talk about how they heard the news on Sunday morning. We discuss some of the memes that have come out since the shooting.
Big news week, we then kick around the CFMEU issue for a minute or so.
We get a Bali update from The Ox, he's been back for a week. The trip was great, but there was some illness among the group, it wasn't pleasant. Ox makes the observation that Balinese people, and those who live there, are very attractive. Not sure why he raised this, but he did. Ox and Marko reminisce about Timezone when they were kids....and how much fun it was.
Following the Ox being suspended last week from his facts stats segment, he's back and he is confident that Marko and Third Man will be impressed.
And after the Trump chat, at the 29 minute or so point of the podcast, Ox mentions he has a mate who was a sniper in the Australian Armed Forces. We decide to call him, although we give him a fake name - Wesley Snipes. He talks us through the shooting, how easy or hard the shot was, some of the considerations....absolutely fascinating chat.
From the incredible chat with Wesley Snipes, we sneak in some quick feedback - specifically on Ox's admission last week that he eats Tim Tams from the work fridge.
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!
We'd love you to follow a Couple of Blokes, and get involved with the show on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. If you've got a comment or feedback, send a voicemail to Ox and Marko here. And don't forget to subscribe, rate and review the podcast wherever you listen!
