Megan Pappas, the wonderful Megan from the hits.
We bully her into watching stuff in between raising two children
and working a full-time job.
And she joins us in the studio.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you.
You've got a very cuddly, cosy-looking puffer on there.
You can't cover it, mate.
You can't.
Was that like a weird invitation?
It felt like it, eh?
I'm just testing the waters, eh?
Just so you're not sure if you need to take me to HR.
It's enough for me.
I was just saying the joke was cuddly. It's enough for me. I was going to say, the jacket was cuddly.
It's enough for me to clear my name.
I'll write it down in my notebook with all the weird hashtags.
Yeah, I write them down every time as well too.
It's another one.
We're two strikes away, but we're getting there.
Anyway, what have you been watching this week, Megan?
I'm late to the party on this.
Barry, Bill Hader.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't think it would end up like this.
You better run for your life.
Barry, you're irredeemable.
Run.
I've watched a little bit of this because my mates like it.
And it's the next one I want to watch after I've gone through four seasons of Succession,
which I'm enjoying, but I'm getting there.
Barry, because I watched the first episode and I loved it.
It looked really good.
So I've just jumped on board because we're in,
it's season four is the last season,
which is dropping now weekly on Neon.
And so many people have said, you've got to check it out.
It's as good as Ted Lasso, which is high, high.
High praise, yeah.
High praise.
But Bill Hader, he wrote it,
which is probably why he's the lead,
because he's often, you know, not the lead.
He's the secondary actor or whatever.
But he plays a hitman who falls in love with theatre,
and he decides he wants to get out of the hitman job
and he wants to pursue an acting career.
But obviously he's got some skeletons in his closet
and some people coming after him.
You do wonder about people in those positions.
You look at some gang members around
on motorbikes around here, and you're like,
what if he just really wants to be into interpretive dance?
Can you go and pursue your dreams?
Well, yeah, your pivot ever unpivoted during COVID,
didn't they, you know?
Would all your gang members come and support you
if you had, like, a performance?
Well, they're a supportive bunch, aren't they?
They're like a family.
So you imagine they'd come to opening night.
Yeah.
Nice.
What else would you like to do, Ben?
If you were to pivot from radio, what do you want to do?
Let's talk.
Let's talk.
What could I do?
That's the thing.
I always go, I've got no real skills.
Take it away.
Why don't you try a career in TV?
Well, you tried that.
Good suggestion. Yeah, you tried that. Good suggestion.
Yeah, good suggestion.
I'm going to resist.
I can take it.
It's fine.
So there you go.
Okay, so let's just say pivoting to TV is not an option.
Okay, okay.
Well, it doesn't seem like an option at the moment too.
So yeah.
What could I do?
I always struggle with that.
Like if I'm not doing this, like What could I do? I always struggle with that. Like, if I'm not doing this, like, what could I do? I reckon you'd run a quaint little rural video shop.
Like, they're still getting video, like a blockbuster.
Yeah, like, you know, sometimes you go through some small, like, Martin.
You're like, jeez, there's still got a bloody United video here.
Oh, I'm doing that.
I'm like, I could do that.
That'd be quite fun, talking to people about things.
You'll like this one.
Because he's watched a lot of movies.
What would you do?
I don't know.
I was going to wait a few years and maybe do a bed and breakfast.
You would run a bloody good bed and breakfast too.
Thank you.
You would.
That's good.
What's the deal with bed and breakfast?
Obviously you need to provide a bed and the breakfast.
It's all pretty much in the name.
If you want some more.
I don't know how anyone needs that explained. What am I going to get? What am I going to get? if you want some more why I've never had anyone
need that explained
what am I going to get
what am I going to get
what's in this package
no no no
no no no
oh
I better prep it
I have all of them
it does sum it up beautifully
do you
do you get weird
about strangers
using your bits and pieces
oh yeah
totally
I'm not good with strangers
so that's probably
would you want them
in the house or would you want like a little separate?
Oh no, separate.
Yeah.
Don't say that when they're around.
Don't go, ooh.
Also when I'm serving breakfast, I like leave it in the kitchen and then run away.
Ooh.
When they turn up, ooh.
Ooh, no.
Get out.
Thanks Megan.
Bye.
