Shaan Singh and Sam Thomson from Kiwi band Drax Project join Suzanne Paul and Andrew Papas on Fork’s Sake to talk fatherhood, food fails and a near‑fatal drive home after a New Year’s show.

From sipping kombucha (with mixed reactions) to revisiting the band’s gross first flat, the boys reflect on the early days of living, cooking, and surviving together. Shaan opens up about fatherhood and how becoming a dad has reshaped his relationship with food, routine, and life on the road, while Sam reveals just how seriously he takes a supermarket aisle.

Things take a sharp turn when they re‑live a near head‑on crash after a New Year’s show, a moment that forced them to confront just how quickly everything can change.

• Kombucha opinions (and regrets)
