John Cena was the big draw on Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie, popping in to promote his new film Matchbox and taking questions from a string of unfiltered kids. Asked by a listener called Frankie how The Rock smells, Cena deadpanned “he smells as good as he looks,” before a final anonymous question asked what his own farts smell like. Cena didn’t dodge it, replying they “smell like a derivative of poop,” which had Vick and Katie in stitches.

Cena also got a serious workout on jorts, explaining with real conviction why denim is the only fabric that survives years of wrestling splits, and weighed up a hypothetical fight between ten duck-sized John Cenas and one Cena-sized duck, concluding the duck would win thanks to “opposable thumbs.”
Elsewhere, Fran from Shrewsbury, representing her quiz team Mingus Can’t Be Choosers, took on Complete The Year for 2024. She impressed the hosts by composing her own Taylor Swift-style poem on the spot for bonus points, correctly named Sesame Street and lime green for Charli XCX’s Brat era, but stumbled on the runtime of Wicked, guessing two hours ten minutes when it was actually two hours forty.
The daily “In the Box” celebrity guessing game rolled over for a second day after Vick and Katie wrongly guessed Miley Cyrus, prompting one listener, Kev the digger driver, to accuse them on text of secretly knowing the answer and stringing listeners along, which they denied.
