Wednesday morning, you got Jono and Ben on the hits and joined from the 3pm pick up is Megan Puppers. Good morning. Good morning. Megan, you were just saying off air, this is the first time words have come out of your mouth today. Yeah, I realised I haven't actually spoken to anyone but you two. You're sounding 70% awake. You know, when you're like drunk when you're younger and your parents ring you and you're like, yeah, I'm totally sober. I want to sound like I'm totally awake. You're working hard.

Megan, you're so good at just watching everything. I mean, how much do you watch on an average day? Hours? Hours? Oh, do I want to admit it? Probably two hours. Right. Two hours.

That's normal, eh? You've dedicated a huge part of your life to watching stuff. And thank God you do because Ben and me aren't that committed. So you come every week and provide us with stuff that we need to watch. And you're going to kick it off with a controversial documentary, House of Hammer. In the beginning, I felt like this was all perfect. This was amazing. He would say things, God, you're so perfect.

How could you be this beautiful, this smart, so funny? It's like you were made for me. But then things changed. So this is a documentary on the actor Arnie Hammer? Arnie Hammer, yeah. So you'll know him from, he was the Winklevoss twins in the social network. He was in Man From U.N.C.L.E. and then Call Me By Your Name. So he is attractive. He was, you know, pretty, a big movie star. And then all these rumors started coming out about these controversial DMs. And the thing was, Pete Davidson's taking the piss out of him on Saturday Night Live and it's on TikTok and everyone's making jokes and you're like, oh yeah, he's into some weird stuff. But it's actually so much worse than that. So this is a three-part doco. It goes into not only him,

but he comes from a very rich, very wealthy family in New York. And all of the men in his family have had very dark pasts. Lots of things I don't want to say on the radio, but when you look at this man, he is a famous movie star, there is videos, there is receipts, there is DMs, there is evidence of what he's been doing and saying to these women and it doesn't seem real. Now, I was reading an article this morning before the show and he goes on about cannibalism. He wants to eat people. So he admitted twice to two different women in DMs

and they have the DMs that he is a cannibal and he said that once he ate a deer heart after he killed it while it was still alive, that he's into some weird stuff. Right. Well, listen, the House of Hammer, I thought it was a home renovation show. Does sound like it could be, right? Where can we check that one out, Megan? That's on three now.

It's three parts. Don't watch it right before bed. No, it feels very heavy for my liking, a bit too heavy for me. All right, let's go something a bit lighter. Let's go something on the lighter end of the scale. MeTime. It's the new Netflix movie. Love it. Love it. Kevin Hart too heavy for me. All right, let's go something a bit lighter. Let's go something on the lighter end of the scale. Me time. It's the new Netflix movie with Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart. Thank you, Megan. Here we go. Play some of that.

There's no life outside of your kids. My wife is an architect. We've made a decision. It's best for me to take care of the kids. It's called a system which works. Yeah, a prison system. That's what it sounds like. I've seen this. I've seen it. I loved it. Well, you know, I like anything with Kevin Hart. He's very funny. A lot of slapstick moments. I don't know what you thought. Yeah, so, I mean, you know what you're getting, kind

of thing. It didn't rate too well on Rotten Tomatoes. It's got the lowest score that the two actors have ever had of 7%. But they call it like a self-care comedy. So, you know, you're not going to get anything Oscar worthy. But it's funny. And you do get to see Mark Wahlberg's butt pretty early on. So that's a high point. Very wrapped, isn't he?

Very cut. Yeah. He runs a very psychotic regime. He's up at 1.30 in the morning working out, doing all sorts of business. Hey, mate, what time are you up every morning? You know, like, come on. An hour and a half later than Mark Wahlberg. But everyone's like, you're up of business. Hey mate, what time are you up every morning? You know, like come on. An hour and a half later than Mark Wahlberg. Everyone's like, you're up

at 3.30? What are you, like of all people you cannot mention, no one knows why you're up at 3.30 and no one knows why Mark Wahlberg's up early. So you, the two of you cannot talk. I mean at least Mark Wahlberg's ripped. You know, at least we can go on. At least he looks like that.

Oh, he's working out. I see what he's doing. I'll happily get my butt out on camera. What are you doing? What are you doing, eh? But do we want to see it? And are you going to get paid for it? It looks like two soggy bio buttons, mate. Now, Megan, this is, you know, every week we say,

well done on watching all this stuff. What is the worst thing you've watched recently? Something you wouldn't recommend. Every week we say, well done on watching all this stuff. What is the worst thing you've watched recently? Something you wouldn't recommend. Every week we're recommending stuff. Something you'd say, don't bother. I was trying to branch out because I realise, like I bring you a lot of thriller stuff because it's what I'm into, but I watched Inside the Mind of a Cat on Netflix.

First of all, I'm a dog person, so I was like, ugh. But it actually goes into into the psyche of the cat and how to meet a cat and have them like you right off the get-go. Apparently, you're supposed to do slow blinks, and then they're like, oh, my God, friend. Oh, really? Okay. Don't get interested.

It's stupid. Cats have been playing hard to get. We are all given those relationships. Yeah. Hey, if you are a cat person, maybe you'll be into it inside the mind of a cat. Inside the mind of a cat. Hey, big and puppers, we'll catch you this afternoon back on the 3pm Pickup. Sweet.

See you guys.
