First 90 secondsCalvin Fehr· Guest0:00
You [censored], you've keyed my car.
Rob Moore· Host0:01
Yeah.
Calvin Fehr· Guest0:02
I'm fuming. I'm fuming, yeah? And he's a police officer.
Carl Hartley· Host0:05

What happened?
Calvin Fehr· Guest1:08
So what happened, let's talk about the chapter of life that I was at at the time, right? I'd just built my new house, which we'd been building for many years, and I'd just had a baby, my little girl, which was, you know, obviously a massive thing. We'd moved into the house, and I'd bought myself my first brand-new car, which was a brand-new BMW M5, right? I couldn't use it at the time because my
