00:00 David Beckham documentary, it's on Netflix.
00:04 Yes.
00:05 Have you seen it yet?
00:06 Will you watch it?
00:08 I have watched it.
00:09 I did watch it.
00:10 I found it really...
00:11 I am not...
00:12 I didn't grow up with football, soccer, as Aussies would say.
00:16 I didn't grow up with it.
00:17 And then watching...
00:18 I mean, I watched Wrexham, I guess, because of the hype of that.
00:22 And then I also watched The Beckham.
00:23 And I think there is so much history and culture within football.
00:27 I think The Beckham made me appreciate football a lot more.
00:32 And he's actually a really nice lad.
00:34 He seems like a nice, pleasant guy.
00:36 I was pleased that he queued up with the masses to view the Queen's coffin.
00:41 He didn't kind of pull any, you know, "Who am I?" kind of things.
00:45 He seems like a nice guy and he seems like a good dad.
00:47 I actually watched it over this weekend.
00:50 And I binge-watched it.
00:51 I watched all the episodes.
00:53 I am a fan of him.
00:54 Obviously, he played for Manchester United, one of the teams that I support.
01:00 And you know, to be fair, looking at his documentary and his lifestyle,
01:04 obviously the football he played for different teams like AC Milan,
01:09 Real Madrid, the transfer, and also going to America and then having his own club.
01:16 Success story, to be fair.
01:17 He's done really well for the country as well.
01:19 You've got to admire him.
01:21 Because let's be honest, he's not the greatest footballer ever.
01:24 He's come out of Man United.
01:25 You know, when you've had the likes of George Best and players like that.
01:28 But for what he, the skill he had, I don't know, he was very limited, personally.
01:33 But he has done well for himself.
01:35 The preview came up for it.
01:36 And the preview included a scene where the interviewer asks Victoria Beckham
01:41 about how she met David and her roots and things like that.
01:46 And she described herself as working class.
01:47 And David Beckham overheard it, burst into the room and said,
01:50 "What car did your dad drive when you were growing up?"
01:54 And she refused to answer a few times.
01:55 And she said, "A Rolls Royce."
01:56 And he just left the room.
01:58 And that looked quite funny.
01:59 So I might watch after seeing that.
02:01 I have to say, you come away, you can't not like the guy when you've watched it, I think.
02:05 He just comes across as a really, really nice guy.
02:08 He hasn't really changed over the years.
02:11 They seem to be OK, actually.
02:13 I mean, they're rich, obviously.
02:14 They're really, really well off.
02:16 But I don't think they're miles away from the people.
02:20 I think they're quite aware.
02:22 I've never really been a fan.
02:26 Posh, never smiles anyway.
02:29 So yeah, so would I be watching it if I did get Netflix?
02:35 No.
02:36 Not a fan of celebrities, any celebrities, pop stars, football stars.
02:42 They live their lives.
02:43 I live mine.
02:45 Because he was around all these beautiful ladies, these cars,
02:49 all these fancy parties.
02:52 And he's a man, like right now.
02:55 He show like he's a real human, you know, who cooking, who clean the kitchen.
