Jason recently had his hair cut to a number two after him and Goldstein made a bet with a Liverpool F.C. fan, live on air that if Liverpool got in the top 4 in the 2013-14 Premier League season they would both shave their heads. Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers was on the line whilst they were having their heads shaved. Cundy is popular for nightly feature 'Wheel Of Cundy' in which he tells a story about a sometimes named and sometimes anonymous footballer he has played with throughout his career.
