World Cup Wins & World Class Mistakes

This week on Shut Up and Ride, the gang is one man down as Ben swans off to rub shoulders (and apparently more) with Hollywood’s finest—but fear not, because Jenny and Simon more than pick up the slack.

Jenny is in full storytelling mode, diving into the electric atmosphere of the World Cup and the emotional high of watching Becky Moody deliver a truly unforgettable performance. It’s goosebumps, tears, and top-tier sport… swiftly followed by one of the most hilariously awkward moments you’ll ever hear, involving none other than Lady A. Yes, it’s as cringey as it sounds—and then some.

Meanwhile, Simon is deep in Badminton prep—and it’s all coming together. From training rides to final tweaks, he’s feeling focused, confident, and quietly excited as everything starts to click into place ahead of the big event.

No Ben, no filter, and absolutely no holding back—just the way you like it.
