As the former people's champion, Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson knows a thing or two about popularity.

But in the classic BBC Radio 1 game above, Johnson is faced with the exact opposite — a series of unpopular opinions presented by radio callers, that he then has to discuss with host Greg James.

The opinions range from plants and flowers being a terrible gift and picnics at the beach being bad to — more bizarrely — one man claiming he likes the smell of "asparagus wee-wee".

Johnson manages to find some common cause with most of the callers, but he has to draw the line at that last one.
