What highlights from Jermaine Pennant's career are discussed?

Ben Shephard 0:12
Hello and welcome to the Goals on Sunday podcast. Jermaine Pennant joins Cami and me on the sofa today to talk through all of the Premier League highlights and what has been an extraordinary career for him as well. Champions League finals, all sorts of different teams, forgetting where he parks his car and of course facing a Jeremy Kyle lie detector. Hope you enjoy this as much as Cami and I did. Good morning to you, Jermaine. How are you doing? I'm fine, thank you. First things first, there's quite a lot of people that are very worried, including Rob Gilbert, that you've remembered where you parked your car.
Jermaine Pennant 0:41
Well, yes, at home, because I've got the train down.
Ben Shephard 0:45
It's been a busy summer. I interviewed you on Good Morning Britain because you've got your book out. We'll talk about that a little bit later on. And I said, how about you come on Goals on Sunday and come and talk to us about the book and football? And you said, oh, I might be a bit busy. I've got a few things.

What was Jermaine's experience on Celebrity Big Brother?

Ben Shephard 0:58
I said, what are you going to do this summer? And you couldn't tell me. And it was Celebrity Big Brother, Jermaine.
Jermaine Pennant 1:02
Yeah, it was a shock really because obviously we got interviewed for it but we don't know if you've got the nod because there's so many people that are going for it and I thought it would be a good experience and a time and place where I'm not actively playing football so I thought I'd give it a bash. Did you enjoy it? Yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great experience. I wouldn't do it again. No. Hence why it's finished. No, but it was a good experience. It was tough as well. Are you literally locked up without phones and stuff like that? No phones, no TV, no clock. You have no idea what time it is.

How does Jermaine describe the challenges of being in a reality show?

Jermaine Pennant 1:36
You don't know what time you're waking up, you don't know what time you're going to bed. Outside the world, you don't know nothing at all.
Ben Shephard 1:41
And do you completely forget that you're being watched? Because there come some controversial moments and some very personal moments as well. You're picking bits and pieces, your nose, your fingers, your toes.
Jermaine Pennant 1:50
Yeah, first week, it's like a game, so you think you're part of it. But as soon as the second week starts kicking, that's when the boredom starts to kick in. And then you don't realise that, oh, yeah, you're being watched 24-7, literally every movement you get.
Ben Shephard 2:02
Doesn't stop. Off the back of it, of course, you then famously appeared on Jeremy Kyle. I was speaking to Jeremy this week and he said it was a really great show. Thoroughly enjoyed you coming on. But you did refuse the lie detector, Jermaine. Absolutely. LAUGHTER Why?

What insights does Jermaine share about his football career?

Ben Shephard 2:18
Well, there's a lot of lies I'm sold.
LAUGHTER
Jermaine Pennant 2:23
we were expecting no no it was all it was all funny again it was all a joke um it was it was a good show jeremy i went on jeremy's radio station yes um and he said look would you come on the show um as a little celebrity little special i said you know what why not um get it out there get my my wife tell her part as well because she's not spoken about all the you know all the commotion that's been going on and you know she came out and said her piece which was great yeah it seemed quite relaxed with it all though there's no regrets Oh, absolutely not. You know, I knew what it was when I was in there. I knew what was going on. But it's been perceived on the outside a lot worse, magnifying by 10. But it was just, you know, a good experience.
Jermaine Pennant 3:03
Just me being me, unfortunately. Stepping the mark a little bit.
Ben Shephard 3:07
Yeah.
Chris Kamara 3:08
So all those people who tweeted this morning that we wouldn't ask him those questions, we have.
Ben Shephard 3:12
And he's answered them as well. More importantly, let's talk about football, because are you still playing? Jermaine, are you still available?

How did Jermaine transition from football to television work?

Ben Shephard 3:20
I'm still available, yeah.
Jermaine Pennant 3:22
I'm keeping fit. Anyone out there? Need a right winger? No, yeah, I'm still keeping fit. I'm not actively looking for seeking a club. I'm not officially retired. But I'm going to keep an eye on that.
Ben Shephard 3:38
So is the idea that if the right opportunity came along, you'd do that? Or are you interested in doing a bit more telework?
Jermaine Pennant 3:43
I'm enjoying TV work in a minute, so I'm definitely open for that as well.
