0:10

Music, radio, podcasts. Hello

0:13

and welcome to Tare Lenders! Hello and thank you

0:15

for having us on Tare Lenders. Shall we sing?

0:18

Oh wow! I haven't done it for a while. What

0:20

would you like to sing? Well we'll sing the Tare Lenders

0:22

theme tune because we're going

0:25

to have a full house today. Okay. Because

0:28

we're going to have the full cast. Do you want

0:30

the full cast to sing without me? Well

0:32

we're going to get matching later but

0:34

we do have

0:35

England Internationals, Jimmy Anderson

0:38

and Izzy Wong plus the co-chairs

0:40

of Overland Municipals, G-Force and Felix White.

0:43

Correct, thank you. That's how I like to be described. And

0:45

let's

0:46

sing the theme tune. We haven't done it for ages. Okay,

0:49

I might actually shout this. Can I shout it? Yeah.

0:52

Do you want to do the first one? We're on quite a quiet floor of the BBC

0:54

here but we're going to shout it. Can you hear that?

0:56

Yeah. Tare Lenders!

0:59

Tare Lenders! Tare Lenders! Tare

1:01

Lenders! Jimmy!

1:06

Tare Lenders! Izzy!

1:10

Tare Lenders! Doesn't

1:16

work quite so well on the remote lines

1:18

but that's okay. I think that's nice because

1:20

it gives a sense of us all being

1:22

in different places. Yeah.

1:25

I've not actually spoken today

1:27

yet and then the first words that come out of my mouth

1:30

are trying to sing Tare Lenders. And

1:32

so it should be. It should be every morning. Yeah,

1:34

that should be your ritual. My nan always

1:36

says, oh, the first thing I do is eat

1:38

an apple. And I was like, that's quite

1:40

mad. But maybe that's what, if you don't have

1:42

much to do in your day, she's

1:46

retired and she's 100. So she's

1:48

like, oh, the first thing I do is eat an apple. Amazing.

1:52

So maybe the first thing we all should do is shout Tare Lenders. I

1:54

like the idea of doing,

1:55

inventing Tare Lenders warm

1:57

up exercise, voice exercises first thing

1:59

in the morning. four cricketers. Yeah. So

2:01

when you get up, you

2:04

have to do like, say, ten enders five times.

2:06

Go well, go well, go well,

2:09

go well. Cheers, cheers, cheers.

2:13

Anyway, Izzy's here, Jimmy's here. Matching will

2:15

be on later with an injury update. I'm looking forward

2:17

to that. I

2:17

wonder how high he'll be today.

2:20

I think still quite high because the

2:22

WhatsApp messages for the tour have been coming in and

2:25

let's just say the ideas are all over the

2:27

place. As is this

2:29

summer. The summer feels quite all over the

2:31

place. I was watching the YouTube

2:34

feed of Sorry Warwickshire yesterday,

2:36

which Felix was commentating on with Dan

2:38

Norcross and sounding great. So not the

2:40

rhythms of county cricket. Nothing beats it, as we've

2:42

said a million times before. But it does feel like

2:44

it's really chopping and changing this summer. You

2:46

go, oh, hang on a minute. I'm under the 100. Oh, hang

2:49

on. Ashes. I haven't got over

2:49

that all the way. Hang on. But the final three weeks,

2:52

the kind of championship. Oh, and can you squeeze the Metro

2:54

Bank competition in, please? Well, it's

2:56

the so much going on. So we'll try and

2:59

boil it all down. I would say it's all been good, though. Yeah,

3:01

I think it's kind of working. I think it's all

3:03

like what's the phrase you used? You like to use Greg,

3:06

the tide that rises all. Oh,

3:09

a rising tide floats or boat. It's been

3:11

a bit about, I think, this year. But the test

3:13

series is sort of

3:15

risen or boats.

3:18

Anyway, do crack up. Good. Good. Thank you.

3:20

Good momentum. And we hope you

3:22

enjoyed the slightly loose episode that

3:24

we recorded at Lord's last

3:27

week. Quite a lot of comments about

3:29

it. Quite mad to suddenly get a

3:31

Nobel Prize winner on and accuse her of

3:33

vandalism. We are

3:35

going to try and book Malala Yousafzai for

3:38

a future episode. She's a cricket

3:40

nut. Oh, clearly. And she would be an amazing

3:43

guest. She was lovely, wasn't she? You sort of weird.

3:45

Probably one of the weirdest soft launches I've ever

3:47

heard of a Nobel

3:50

Prize winner. It was strange, wasn't

3:52

it? But do you know what happened, Greg? Because I spent a lot of time with

3:54

you in the last five, six, seven years.

3:56

And when that glass smashed behind me and I was aware

3:58

that Malala was behind me.

3:59

I just had in my head. What would Greg

4:02

James do and I know for

4:04

a fact He would put that microphone in her

4:06

face and see what she said That's

4:09

why I did or would you is that not no no it probably is

4:11

I just want to work out whether that's a that's a compliment

4:13

Or no, but she was lovely as well

4:15

I just got a lot of I had about six hours

4:18

worth of anxiety Thing

4:20

to do on the group Jimmy. Did you see

4:22

feel it's going should we take out the malala

4:25

bit was it? I Wasn't

4:28

much I thought it was perfect I

4:29

listen back to it because I was anxious and it was actually

4:32

fine I might ask her if she wants to be

4:34

on an episode or maybe come down to the Hammers with

4:36

Apollo Let's do it or in the ovation

4:38

for Malala. Yes, f-sail. Yeah, it's with Apollo You

4:40

don't breaking glass like stone cold when it

4:42

when it Because

4:47

that's what she didn't she I It'll

4:49

be amazing if Malala could

4:52

deliver the stone cold stone

4:54

on me

4:55

Sorry, it's one of the great

4:57

one of the great theme tunes now Is

5:00

he have you ever met a Nobel Prize

5:03

winner?

5:04

No, no, I'm aware of anyway What

5:12

what a thing to say what a return

5:14

that was like as a for a first ball that

5:16

is he that you're right on the money of that Into

5:20

Malala in Morrison's yeah

5:22

She went to edge best

5:24

in high school for girls, which is like around the

5:26

corner So, yeah, we have bumps into

5:28

each other in Tesco's.

5:30

Have you ever met her before? She's

5:32

an absolute legend. I mean

5:35

what an incredible person we'd love to get her

5:37

on Are we trying to get wrong full episode? Yeah, well, let's

5:39

make sure is ease on when Malala's on as well She

5:42

invited me to DM her. So

5:44

I just I just DM what did she say? I invite

5:47

you to DM me basically She said

5:49

send me a message and Yeah, so

5:51

sharky. I'll I'll do I'll do all the work

5:54

on that one. Okay

5:55

didn't invite me to that We

6:00

can clear all that up later in the day. Izzy!

6:02

Nice to have you back on. How are

6:04

you? I'm well. Thank you for having

6:07

me back on. Yeah, well, of course. I

6:09

mean, it's very much your

6:11

podcast to do whatever you want with, really. We've

6:13

missed you, Izzy.

6:14

I've missed you too. I've missed you too. Busy

6:18

old tricky summer. How are you feeling about it all?

6:21

Tricky, tricky summer. Tricky summer. Look,

6:23

look. I mean, as the summer of cricket goes,

6:25

it's been great to be a part of. Obviously,

6:28

personally, I probably haven't gone as well as

6:30

I'd have liked to, but it kind of is what it

6:32

is and you've just got to keep going. Yeah, these

6:34

things happen,

6:35

don't they? They do. At moments like

6:37

these, you need someone like

6:39

Jimmy Anderson, who's been around the block

6:41

a few times, to give

6:44

you a few words of wisdom. You know, you have

6:47

off seasons, you have those moments where the selection

6:49

is not quite going your way. And well, how

6:51

do you pick yourself up from those sorts

6:53

of things, Jim? I mean, I'm specifically talking about the West

6:55

Indies. Thanks for pointing out that I've been

6:57

around the block a few times, Greg.

7:02

Such kind words.

7:05

No, I mean,

7:07

it's the when I've been watching

7:10

Izzy this summer, like the hardest thing is, if

7:13

you're not bowling as well as you want to,

7:15

trying to actually fix something

7:18

when your mid competition is so hard.

7:21

And I think I struggle with that at the start of my

7:23

career. Obviously, you want to keep playing,

7:25

but sometimes you like I needed a couple

7:28

of months to sort stuff out when I was like

7:30

first starting out 21 ish.

7:33

I played loads to start with in like a

7:35

year and then actually felt

7:37

like I needed to sort stuff out. And

7:40

you do sometimes need that little bit of time

7:42

to to

7:44

like, you know, when you're fixing something

7:46

in your bowling, then it needs time to settle

7:48

in. You can't just do it in a week and then

7:50

hope that it comes off in a game. So I

7:52

do feel for for Izzy, it's like

7:54

it's not easy, but the beauty

7:57

is that, you know, you've got so much time on

7:59

your side that

7:59

just don't let it frustrate you too much

8:02

at the moment. And there will be, you know, you

8:04

will get it sorted and you'll bear that

8:06

fruit later on down the line.

8:08

Bear the fruit. Thank you very

8:10

much. You're laying the fertilizer

8:13

at the minute and then you'll- And then I'll

8:15

be starting my day with an apple and- That's

8:18

my man. Yeah. I'd

8:20

love the vision if, is he just writing that all down?

8:22

Right, okay, bear the fruit. So bear the fruit.

8:25

Apple a day. Apple a day.

8:27

Great. What I've loved,

8:30

sorry, what I've, well, is

8:32

here. What I've loved is that every time I've,

8:34

you

8:34

know, I've done a few hundred games, I've been actually at the

8:37

ground. And what I've loved

8:39

is actually the smile's still on your face.

8:41

You're still enjoying being out on the field. And I

8:43

think you've just, yeah, as long as you've got that enjoyment

8:46

side of it as well, that's really important.

8:48

Well, that's what the hundred's about for me, isn't it? Like,

8:50

obviously we've got the co-chairs

8:52

of the Oval Invincibles, big smiles on

8:54

their faces. I feel like the

8:57

whole hundred is just about like having

8:59

fun on a cricket pitch and trying to get kids to

9:02

want to have fun on a cricket pitch. So yeah, it's

9:05

nice that that feels like it's come off of it.

9:07

I was at the, we talked about being at the

9:09

T20, Ash's T20 at the Oval,

9:12

and I wore your shirt. Oh,

9:14

right, yeah. There, Izzy.

9:16

And there was a girl that I met in

9:19

the ground and she must've been about nine or 10. And

9:21

she was like, is that Izzy's shirt?

9:24

I was like, yeah, that's- Oh, like

9:26

the real shirt? Well, it said Wong on the

9:28

back. Oh, okay, fine. Yeah, and clearly I wasn't

9:30

Izzy Wong. Yeah. We

9:33

don't look very similar at all, actually. Yeah.

9:36

But you were her favorite player. She

9:38

couldn't believe that it was your, you know,

9:40

it was like your replica shirt. Oh, bless

9:42

her. You must see those people, you

9:44

must see those young fans coming up to you

9:46

being like, Izzy, oh my God, I want a bowl like

9:48

you. It must be, it must really spur

9:50

you on, even when you're having a bit of a rough patch.

9:52

Yeah, definitely. I saw, we were

9:55

at Chelmsford the other day and it went pretty terribly

9:57

all round. We're not gonna figure-

10:00

coat that one. But after

10:02

the game I saw a girl who must

10:04

have been kind of 14, 13 and she

10:07

was in a shirt and she was like, oh can you tie

10:09

my shirt? And I was like, yeah of course. She turned

10:11

around and it was like 125 on the back. I was

10:13

like, that's sick. And I genuinely think I

10:15

got more excited than she

10:16

did. She was probably like, why aren't you playing

10:19

it cool? What are you doing? Yeah,

10:21

you're the one who's supposed to be okay with this. I'm the one who's

10:23

supposed to be excited. But look, I

10:25

mean, let's we forget, this is the problem with sport.

10:28

And we talk about this with cricket all the time. Is that you

10:30

can have an amazing few months or

10:32

an amazing tournament. And then the

10:34

next tournament, it can just not quite five for

10:36

every reason. But this is the year where you absolutely smashed

10:39

it in the Whipple. Well, yeah, exactly. And

10:41

how far we've come. I know. Well,

10:43

when was the Whipple? It feels like a long time ago.

10:47

Yeah, it's like March. It's almost like five,

10:49

five, six months ago now. So yeah,

10:51

yeah, but that must that must add to the

10:53

frustration. I had an

10:55

amazing time and I was really in rhythm and

10:58

I you know, you've got the first ever Whipple

11:00

hat trick. Like this is these are amazing

11:02

things. And then you must be sitting there going,

11:05

I don't quite understand what's happening

11:07

here with things.

11:08

It's funny you say that, because like, I think

11:10

since that hat trick, I almost like

11:12

I've had a little bottle of that kind

11:14

of tucked in my back pocket. And then every

11:17

time I go out and play cricket, I like, you

11:19

know, open that bottle. And I'm like, this isn't

11:21

quite the same stuff. And

11:25

it's almost more frustrating because I kind

11:27

of I know we're Dean. And it's

11:29

like, well, it should be linear. And I know

11:31

it isn't. And I know that life isn't linear. But

11:33

in theory, I'm like, surely I've not upset

11:36

enough people for this to have gone this drastically

11:38

south. I think it's just keeping

11:40

that faith that, you know, one day I'm going

11:42

to open the open that bottle. And I'm actually

11:44

going to put the lid back on because it's not as good as what's

11:46

happening right now. That made me think

11:48

of Jim though, just there, is he? Because Jim, earlier

11:50

in your career, like, obviously, you hit great

11:52

heights. And then there was times that you couldn't find the same

11:54

consistency you did later on. It's a sort of similar

11:57

feeling to you in the early stage of your career, right?

11:59

I feel like it stays with you, unfortunately.

12:02

Like there'll be period that, I think

12:04

the sort of, yeah, the hope is

12:06

that

12:07

the consistent periods become

12:09

a little bit longer as you get older

12:12

and play more. You know, they might turn

12:14

from two or three games, like at the start of my career,

12:16

it was a couple of games of good stuff and

12:18

then a

12:19

couple of games of absolute. And

12:21

then as my career has gone on, it's

12:23

like those periods

12:26

of good stuff have got a bit longer and you cut

12:28

down the bad bits a

12:30

little bit shorter. So, I mean, it's

12:32

just, it's such a frustrating game.

12:35

It

12:35

really is. And I

12:38

can't say too easy that it gets any

12:40

less frustrating as you get older, because I've

12:42

just got more runs than wickets for the first time

12:44

in 20 years in an Ashes series. So,

12:48

you know, I've not had the best few

12:50

months myself.

12:52

Well, look, I think what Jimmy's demonstrating

12:54

here is that Izzy, sometimes it's great and it seems like

12:57

you are doing this, but just owning it and just being like, I

12:59

don't understand what's happening, but I'll

13:01

get back to it. And that is like, I

13:04

feel like when things aren't going well for me, I literally

13:06

do everything I possibly can to

13:09

turn the cricket in gods in my favor. So

13:11

I will sign every autograph. I will take

13:13

a picture with everyone who asked for a selfie. I'll say

13:16

please and thank you to every single person.

13:18

Go out my way to say hi to the dressing room

13:20

attendant and to the groundsman and everything

13:22

and try and just do everything possible to

13:25

try and get the cricket in gods on

13:27

my side. That's so funny. So

13:29

what cricket is out of form up and down the country,

13:31

just like walking around the street, trying to help old ladies

13:33

with dropping, seeing if it'll

13:35

balance the odds. Yeah,

13:37

here I am at Great Ormond Street,

13:39

just dropping a few things

13:41

off. Everything I can

13:43

do. Yeah, absolutely. So what we're talking about here is just

13:45

general politeness is what

13:48

we need. That's true, that's about being human though, isn't it?

13:50

When things start going wrong, you start thinking, what have I done?

13:53

What's the universe telling me? Have you got

13:55

some time off Izzy? What's going on next?

13:57

Not too sure, but I've got a meeting this

13:59

afternoon to work on. out what the next couple of weeks

14:01

looks like and then obviously the big bash draft

14:03

was a couple of nights ago and

14:06

I'm not going there so I've got a little bit of time

14:08

off now in

14:09

October. Well that could be good, a nice

14:11

little reset for you. I

14:15

think it's a massive positive I think like Jimmy

14:17

said, just a bit of time to

14:19

get away from playing games, to

14:21

get myself right and then get back on

14:23

the horse. You find that Jim,

14:26

it gets intense watching. I mean the ashes this

14:28

year both men's and women's was intense for

14:30

all of us watching it as

14:33

mere mortals but Jim you must

14:35

find the intensity a lot

14:37

sometimes so just stepping away for a week or you've

14:40

just been away on holiday haven't you like, it must be quite

14:42

nice to get your head into something else and realise that you're actually

14:44

a human being not just a cricketer.

14:46

Yeah you can get so wrapped up

14:48

in stuff that's going on especially when it's

14:51

not just the intensity of it, it's the relentless

14:54

nature of it as well. We've had so

14:56

much cricket this summer already, still

14:58

a month left of the season and

15:01

yeah it just feels like it's non-stop and sometimes

15:04

you just need that little

15:05

break away from the game like the guys after

15:07

the ashes didn't go straight into the 100 because they needed

15:09

that little sort of reset. One

15:12

thing I will say quickly Greg is Izzy's

15:14

just revealed there that her October might

15:16

be free

15:17

and we

15:20

may or may not be going on tour across the UK in

15:22

that October so Izzy I do appreciate that maybe you'd

15:24

be wanting downtime but there are always

15:27

spaces in the band

15:28

if you want to come and join. I am super keen.

15:31

Are you? Yes. Are you actually up for it? So

15:33

up for it yes. Oh we would love to

15:35

get you, let's talk. Honestly Izzy

15:37

let's do this because yeah we will. Well

15:39

I invite you to message me. Okay yeah

15:42

yeah well there ain't no downtime like

15:44

the Tylenco Liveshot. I might see you in me. Yeah

15:46

well okay well much like

15:48

Malala I'll put you, I'll do Malala first

15:51

and then you. Yeah I'm okay I'm okay

15:53

I'm really okay with that. Great well we will,

15:55

are we all invited to DMU? Yeah yeah yeah. Great okay

15:58

so we'll start that out that'd be amazing. Yes.

15:59

Yes, imagine that at the tour and party. Yeah,

16:02

great. I've also had Giles

16:04

Martin, obviously, being on the Tedlands podcast

16:06

in the past. Oh, he wants to go on tour. No, no. He's

16:09

asked me. I went to Abbey Road last week. He

16:11

said if there's any space in the band, like I'll be up

16:13

for doing something.

16:14

So Giles is joining us at Apollo.

16:18

He said he can do anything, but all I'm just saying now

16:21

is it's getting a little bit like the England squad now. There's

16:23

competition for places. Okay,

16:25

so we're going to have to

16:27

have a little bit. You're going to be disappointed.

16:29

Yes, I'm not. Yeah. Yeah. All

16:32

I'm saying is I'm leaving David Milan out, okay? When

16:39

it comes down to it.

16:40

Sorry, imagine if we rocked

16:42

up to the Hammers of Apollo with Giles

16:45

Martin, Malala Yusefzai.

16:47

Yeah, Izzy Wong. Izzy. And Jimmy. Jimmy.

16:50

Matching.

16:51

Oh my God. It actually is the

16:54

best band ever put together. It's like The

16:56

Last Walks. And I imagine Giles will say that. It's like

16:58

The Last Walks on Codeine.

17:00

Izzy,

17:03

we know you've got to go and do things. Hope it all goes

17:05

well with the meetings today and everything. Let us know

17:07

what's going on. And we'll

17:09

catch up with you whenever you've got some time. And we'll

17:11

get the dates in October sorted for

17:14

the tour. We'd love you to be on the road with us.

17:15

Yes, I'd love that too. Thank you very much. We'll

17:18

see you soon. All right, Izzy, go well. Go

17:20

well. Cheers. Cheers.

17:23

Ever wondered what the world's wealthiest people

17:25

did to get so ridiculously rich?

17:27

Our podcast, Good Bad Billionaire,

17:29

takes one billionaire at a time and explains

17:32

exactly how they made their money. And

17:34

then we decide if they are actually good,

17:36

bad, or just plain wealthy. So if you

17:38

want to know if Rihanna is as much of a

17:41

bad gal as she claims, or what

17:43

Jeff Bezos really did to become the

17:45

first person in history to pocket $100 billion.

17:48

Listen to Good Bad Billionaire with

17:50

me, Simon Jack. And me, Zing Zing,

17:52

available now on BBC Sounds. So

17:56

loads of white ball international cricket taking

17:58

place. On which subject I should say. I might

18:00

not leave David Milan out because he's one of my favorite

18:02

cricketers. I just said that for comedic effect, okay?

18:06

Loads of white ball cricket taking place at the minute Let's

18:08

start with the England women's t20 series of versus

18:10

Sri Lanka them Sri Lankans are good Aren't

18:12

they currently won all after England won the first

18:15

match by 12 runs? But Sri Lanka claimed the

18:17

second as is he just said

18:19

their first t20 win over England

18:21

a dominant eight-wicket win as well The decider

18:24

takes place at Derby on Wednesday

18:26

Derby a fantastic ground home Of

18:28

course most famously I'd

18:29

say to an Italian international

18:32

by the name of well I

18:34

was gonna say that but I was also gonna say Way

18:37

Madsen, but also the tail enders

18:40

home ground. Oh, right. Sorry Yeah, that's where

18:42

we did the TMS versus tail enders game. Yeah

18:44

many many years ago five years ago That

18:46

trophy is still in my bathroom.

18:48

I was here That was five years ago

18:50

pretty much now to the week

18:53

five years ago was it's ago. Yeah, and Jimmy

18:55

you were covering What were you doing last night? Where were you

18:57

were you old traffic last night for the men's edge?

18:59

Boston edge, Boston men's

19:02

t20 third

19:04

T20 between England and New

19:06

Zealand Jimmy you covered a lot of cricket.

19:09

It feels like every day on the telly

19:12

Is your head spinning or enjoying it so

19:14

far? Ask me again when I'm doing

19:16

the England v Island ODI's with a England

19:19

B team out in at the end of September

19:21

I might answer that differently, but at the moment

19:24

We're looking forward to that question and answer session

19:26

between you and feelings So

19:29

let's a quick a quick word on the

19:32

on the Sri Lanka series with with

19:34

England's women at the minute So the decider takes place

19:36

on Wednesday What

19:38

did you make of the of the performance? Were you watching

19:40

it Jim? I missed the second one. I saw the first

19:43

one rain affected at home big

19:45

shout

19:45

out to Mahika gourd Lancashire Thunder

19:48

Opening bowl is 17 years old took her first international

19:51

t20 wicket. Yeah exciting tall

19:53

left arm I swings it away away

19:55

from the left hand is really really good bowler.

19:57

I think she's got so much potential

19:59

really like watching a ball. Yeah, because it comes

20:02

from height, doesn't it? And she's quick as well. Yeah,

20:05

it almost it when it did rush Amy

20:07

Jones behind the wickets. Right. Yeah, yeah. Sort

20:10

of half half like grabbed it and then had

20:12

to clutch it into her chest and was like, oh, because it

20:14

just it did like spit up a little bit. Yeah,

20:16

yeah. Really. It was actually a it was a really

20:18

nice like three balls. Well, not

20:20

nice, but it shows a lot

20:22

about someone's character. And so the

20:25

first ball of the three went for six. She

20:27

got hit over mid on for six. Next

20:29

ball, rapid bumper that really

20:32

surprised the batter. And then next ball,

20:34

nice outswing, a back of the lungs. Nick to

20:36

Amy Jones. Thank you. Yes,

20:40

that's what dreams are made of. And that's Jimmy Anderson.

20:42

That's game recognizing game. I

20:45

love that. Just put it in their head. But you

20:47

can bold a short ball. And then the outswing

20:49

in one on a length. Thank you. I would agree.

20:52

We and Felix talk a lot on this podcast

20:54

about facing certain bits in cricket

20:56

that we watch and enjoy. If we were facing it,

20:58

we would cry. Yeah.

20:59

And that's one of the things that I would cry about

21:02

if I realized that a bowler had a plan

21:04

against me. Could do that. If they knew

21:06

in going into the game, what

21:08

my weaknesses were. Yeah, yeah. I would find

21:10

that so, so devastating.

21:12

It's so horrible, isn't it? And I'm usual. It's like

21:15

walking into a conversation where someone knows

21:17

what you hate. Sorry, I just got an image

21:19

of you like going around the opposition

21:21

team when I can't play the straight drive. I

21:23

really can't just bowl it full and straight. I'd

21:26

be way too honest. Guys, please don't bowl

21:28

it to me there because I don't know what to do with it.

21:29

Yeah. But it's like the famous

21:32

Andrew Strauss shame worn thing

21:34

where he said to Andrew Strauss,

21:36

I'm going to get you out this over. Yeah. And stress

21:39

like what? What

21:41

do you mean? He said in interviews like, why?

21:44

Oh, I hate that he's just said that to me. And he did

21:46

get him out. Yeah, I didn't. I'm

21:48

going to get you out this over Strauss. It's quite high

21:51

risk because if you don't get him out that over. Yeah.

21:53

Do you mean? Yeah. But he's a liar. Yeah.

21:55

But shame on with them. Go next over then. OK,

21:58

yes. And then it is going to happen.

21:59

So the decider in

22:02

Derby on Wednesday for that series. I

22:05

watched that and the second game, no the first

22:07

game I watched in the pub and it was nice to see it like

22:09

in a pop pub, the women's

22:11

game. I just kept seeing it in sixes. It

22:14

was also, as I mentioned to you guys, full of Newcastle

22:16

fans in full replica kit for the

22:19

Champions League draw. I didn't

22:21

go that way, did I? They got Dortmund

22:23

and other people. Just to see grown

22:26

men wearing full kit to

22:28

see their name getting pulled

22:29

out of a hat was a spectacle.

22:33

I had a similar feeling. In London as well. In

22:35

London. In London. I

22:37

had a similar feeling. Two

22:39

things happened. Last night I realised that my

22:42

neighbours are United fans. Right.

22:44

Because I was watching the Arsenal game. And

22:48

I just could hear them cheering

22:50

when Man U scored and then I could hear the,

22:53

when the goal was to start because of offside.

22:55

It was horrible. I was like, oh my God, what? I

22:57

mean, North London. Yeah, yeah. What?

23:00

Shush. Yeah, yeah,

23:02

yeah. And similarly to what you're saying about the Newcastle people

23:04

crowding around essentially nothing sort

23:06

of celebrating nothing I could draw. Did

23:09

you see the video of the Harry Potter fans

23:12

who went to King's Cross

23:14

station, thousands of them, because

23:17

they do a thing every year where they

23:19

announced the Hogwarts Express is going to

23:21

arrive on platform nine and three quarters.

23:24

No. All grown ups. Right.

23:27

And they all cheer at the board

23:30

changing over saying the Hogwarts Express is arriving

23:32

and they have the PA announced

23:35

that there's a whole thing about it. But no train arrives. Nothing

23:37

happens.

23:38

Can I just say I quite rate that. I

23:43

don't know what you've just said. But

23:46

they pretend the train is going in at that station

23:48

because obviously at King's Cross

23:51

the goal just to hear the announcement. Yeah.

23:54

Yeah. And it's and it's thousands

23:56

of people. The whole concourse, all the

23:58

balconies. I was

24:01

like, well, what if people need to get to work? You've

24:03

got all these people in their Hufflepuff

24:06

jumpers and stuff. Yeah. Just

24:09

going back to the full kit, watching

24:12

Newcastle fans watching the draw,

24:14

I'd love to see you two in full

24:17

Oval Invincibles kit at the next draft. Happily

24:20

wear full Oval Invincibles kit. In fact, I'm

24:22

glad you brought that up, Jimmy, because talks

24:24

are emotional. I say talks, the talks are in

24:26

our heads of getting full

24:29

Oval Invincibles suits that

24:31

are exactly the same as

24:33

the kit, but they're proper suits, and

24:36

they still have KP nuts in the front

24:38

and the middle. Ha ha ha. No,

24:43

but Ty's got KP nuts

24:44

on it. Well, well, well, I'll

24:47

happily do that. Happily? Yeah.

24:51

Let's talk about the... Oh,

24:54

I can't, I can't get so distracted with that. It's

24:56

the greatest wrestling theme tune ever.

25:00

Yeah. I like this

25:03

bit. Oh my God, it's stone cold.

25:11

For the love of God. Arston,

25:16

Arston, Arston. So

25:20

good, though, is it the music?

25:23

Meow. In fact, can I

25:25

play the original? Yeah. So

25:35

is that what you want to play if we get Malala

25:37

up? Yeah, because she smashed the glass behind

25:39

her.

25:42

And so on the stage at the Hammersmith, oh

25:45

my God, it's Malala. Argh!

25:50

That would be the band would be good playing that though, wouldn't

25:52

it? Can we play that? Yeah, of course.

25:55

Oh my God. Can we, certainly? Yeah, Sharky's

25:57

doing air drumming, so we're ready. I don't know what he is

25:59

in his mind. All right, and by the way, Sharkey,

26:01

it doesn't have a double bass

26:04

pedal. That's all. All

26:09

right. All

26:12

right, away from stone cold, Malala,

26:15

you Sefzai. Yep. And

26:17

away from- The ball's coming together. From

26:19

nine three quarters. Shall we talk

26:21

about the men's white

26:23

ball game at the moment? I'd

26:26

love to. So New Zealand could level the series

26:28

at Trent Bridge. So

26:30

much cricket. I mean, these

26:32

are good warm ups for the upcoming

26:35

World Cup, the 50 over World Cup. Jimmy,

26:38

who's impressed you so far?

26:39

Because a couple of really

26:42

good bowling performances, two in particular

26:45

that I'm nudging towards you. Yes,

26:47

I think you're probably nudging towards Gus

26:49

Atkinson, 4-4-20 on debut. Wheels.

26:53

Yeah, I thought he was really impressive. He's

26:55

been impressive in both games he's played, actually. He's

26:58

just really cool and calm and doesn't

27:00

seem flustered at all.

27:02

Just runs in, bowls quick,

27:04

executes his skills well, got

27:06

a good yorker, good slow ball, everything

27:08

you need in this shorter form

27:10

of the game. So I think the

27:12

interesting one with him will be how he gets on

27:15

in the 50 over stuff.

27:16

You know, it's a slightly different game, longer spells,

27:19

so being true. I don't know how much he's played of 50

27:23

over cricket.

27:24

Yeah, he obviously being in that one day squad, I

27:26

think that would potentially be the

27:28

challenge for him. Nice little moment in the commentary

27:30

as well, Jim, where out

27:32

of the blue they showed you a photo of you and

27:34

Gus Atkinson when he's a young boy

27:37

and on a tour West Indies, I think, was it? Yeah,

27:39

so that was on a boat in the West Indies, me,

27:42

Fred and Gus Atkinson, a nine-year-old

27:44

Gus Atkinson. I can't believe how

27:46

young he is there. That is absolutely mad

27:49

that you are both now in England set up and he's a nine-year-old

27:51

boy there. Yeah.

27:54

Also, Brydon Kast, bowling

27:56

really well as well. He's had a little

27:59

bit of a

27:59

bit of injury problems over the last couple of years but

28:02

looked in really good

28:04

form the other night. Three for 23 in

28:06

the first T20, a Durham

28:09

favourite, a Northern Supercharger. Is it a Northern

28:11

Supercharger? What did you make of him Jim?

28:14

Yeah good, I mean he's been around certainly

28:17

character cricket for a number of years, been

28:20

really good for Durham. Also

28:22

been around England, set up a little bit, sort of lion

28:24

stuff and

28:25

he was actually on a tour of the

28:29

last Ashes tour, he was with the Lions squad

28:31

but he was,

28:32

you know everyone was saying how impressive he was in

28:34

the net, bowling quick, swinging it, getting bounds

28:38

but he then got injured, I think

28:40

he did his ACL so he missed

28:42

quite a bit of cricket then but I think if

28:44

he hadn't done that he'd have had a good chance of staying on and

28:47

being a part of the Ashes squad. But yeah I

28:49

feel like he's someone who, you know he's

28:52

also he can bat as well, he played as just

28:54

a batter for Durham in the blast earlier

28:56

in the year when

28:57

he was injured. But I think if he can stay

28:59

fit he'll be a massive plus

29:02

for England. I think both Atkinson

29:04

and Kast could potentially

29:06

play test cricket in the future but again it's

29:09

trying to manage them and keep them fit

29:12

through all the cricket we play. I

29:15

heard you say that on the comments as well about Kast,

29:17

what makes you identify when a player's

29:20

broken through at one day level that they could

29:22

play test cricket as well? Is it something

29:24

in the action, like the repeatability of the action

29:26

or the sort of consistency of areas, what

29:29

makes you sort of feel that? I

29:31

think it's a bit of everything really, I think

29:33

like he swings the ball, he's

29:36

accurate and he's got good pace. You

29:38

know it's the same old thing with bowlers,

29:40

with

29:41

youngish bowlers coming through, it's the fitness

29:43

thing that's the worry and

29:45

it's just managing those guys through.

29:48

There's so much cricket,

29:50

the amount of cricket coming up is absolutely

29:52

ridiculous so yeah it's just trying

29:54

to make sure that you don't

29:56

burn them out early doors. I get

29:58

so sad when bowlers get injured.

30:01

I get way more sad about bowlers getting injured than batters.

30:04

Do you? Yeah. Way more sad. Well,

30:06

because that was sort of an empathy

30:08

of how difficult that would be to me. I wonder if it's because

30:10

we've been around Jimmy for a while and we know how hard it

30:12

is to constantly run

30:15

in the impact on your joints and your

30:17

back and your whole

30:18

body just as being sort of battered every

30:21

single ball. He's trusting yourself

30:23

to run in again and all that kind of thing. Yeah. And

30:25

we always feel sad about Mark Wood. He's

30:28

one of the great war heroes of cricket. Walking

30:31

wounded. We talked about

30:33

Reece Topley that I feel really sad about because these people

30:35

that just about are there. There's some

30:37

really sad stories throughout cricket like Simon

30:40

Jones. One of the greats that never

30:42

really was able to become great because

30:44

of injuries. There's so many examples. Another

30:47

Jones, Toby Roland Jones, I always think

30:48

of who brought that breakthrough against South Africa. And

30:51

then I think the day before selection sort of hobbled

30:53

up. We talked about Finney as well. Stephen

30:55

Finn was played by injury as well. So it just it

30:58

obviously affects bowlers. A bad

31:00

injury would affect a bowler more than the batter. And I

31:02

was going to try and get him back into my county draft. There's no

31:04

point now. He won't be available, will he? He was in

31:06

at the start of the season. He got

31:09

an injury. I was like, oh. Yeah. Wouldn't stop

31:11

someone like me from picking him as I have done this week.

31:13

Loads of players that are unavailable in international

31:15

duty. Brian Kast wasn't selected

31:17

originally in the 50s

31:18

stuff, but I think he's been drafted

31:21

into that squad. So that shows how

31:23

impressive he's been in the T20s. Yeah.

31:25

So the World Cup starts in October

31:28

and finishes

31:31

in November 2026. Is

31:34

it really long? It's seven weeks. Yeah. Seven

31:37

weeks long. Nine group games.

31:40

Oh, I'm into it. I mean, we

31:42

just we need we need some cricket

31:44

to get us through the sad months. Well, that's true.

31:46

And that'll take us nicely up to, you know, Christmas

31:48

time. It hasn't stopped, though, has it? Because since

31:51

June, July, it literally hasn't stopped. It doesn't

31:53

stop. It never stops. But someone once

31:55

said

31:56

it's always summer somewhere. Well, that's why

31:58

he said that. Just

32:02

thinking that we will be

32:04

on tour when the World Cup

32:07

starts. Love that. So we

32:09

can watch games together. Yeah,

32:11

that'd be nice. What about live streaming

32:13

the games? They start late in the morning, aren't they? It's going to

32:15

be mornings isn't it? Yeah, there'll be mornings here. Oh,

32:17

we can watch them together then. That's fun. Great.

32:20

Ah.

32:22

This is already the best tour ever. Do

32:25

you know what? I'd like to advance these

32:27

tour talks by... I'd

32:30

like to advance this tour to this. Yeah.

32:33

How are you going to do that? Because matching,

32:35

last time we saw him he was on Codeine and

32:37

he was out of the game for

32:39

a while and we were going to leave him to

32:41

think of new things for the tour. Is

32:44

he by any chance available to us now to advance

32:46

his tour to this? Hello. Hello.

32:49

Hey. Hey. Hey

32:52

guys. How you

32:52

doing? What's your day since today? Hello.

32:55

To stay off the

32:57

Codeine this morning deliberately so I'm

33:00

fresh. Any photos of your balls you want to send

33:02

or? No. No.

33:06

I'm going to keep that to myself. That.

33:09

I'm not going to keep that. I'm not going to keep that.

33:11

I will keep that. I will keep that. I

33:13

will keep that. I will keep that. But no,

33:15

I mean, how are you guys? Yeah, don't

33:17

worry about us. Yeah. How are you? How

33:20

are you healing? I'm talking about, you know, some of our

33:22

favorite

33:22

sports people getting

33:24

injured and how devastating that can be for the fans and

33:27

the players alike. How are you healing

33:29

up? I'm healing slowly. I'm kind

33:31

of wobbling. I'm kind of got crutches.

33:33

I'm wandering about on the crutches. I've

33:36

left the house once. There's a swimming

33:38

pool nearby so I hobbled over there and I was

33:41

like an old lady. I just kind of sit

33:43

in the pool wiggling my legs around. Sorry,

33:46

it's not funny actually. I'm actually doing aquafit. Oh

33:48

man. But I think I'm going to be alright at all. Okay.

33:50

That's good. But there's

33:52

some brainstorming for tour. If not,

33:55

we've already got Giles Martin, Izzy Wong and

33:57

Malala Yusefzai on reserve.

33:59

No, but don't

34:02

worry, you're creative. You are at the forefront

34:04

of this tour. Maybe I could be like

34:06

just a hologram on the tour. Like

34:09

ABBA. Maybe we could give you a little

34:11

paddling pull to wiggle your feet in. I

34:15

have really, because I've kind

34:18

of completed Netflix, so now

34:20

I've been working on different

34:22

tours. Do you remember we talked about

34:24

Jimmy Anderson and the Music Hall? Yes. Yes,

34:26

very much. I generally

34:29

think we could do that, but it could be

34:31

based on Jimmy's life. I could do a little elevator

34:33

pitch if you want. Let's do it. So

34:36

it would open. It's kind of like it would be about

34:38

Jimmy's life, but you based on

34:40

successful songs from other West End musicals.

34:43

Okay. So they would open with

34:45

Jimmy in the middle of the stage to start

34:47

off with when people try to change the action, the coaches.

34:50

Yeah. So Jimmy's in the middle,

34:52

confused in the middle. Coaches on one

34:54

side, pulling in one way, his dad's on the other.

34:57

He's just a poor boy. We must change his action

35:00

and his dad was a dishmiller.

35:02

No, we must not change it. So change

35:04

it though. Maybe he's going back and forth. Try

35:08

to change that.

35:08

Try to change

35:11

that whole production. Yeah. There's a character

35:13

playing Brody, obviously with a bandana

35:15

on. Yep. Occasionally winding

35:17

up the audience with his finger and they're very much

35:20

like a Timon and Pumbaa kind of relationship.

35:23

Where Brody is the kind of happy

35:25

go lucky me. Yeah. Yeah. And

35:28

Jimmy is occasionally grumpy warthog,

35:30

but it's a heartwarming friendship

35:32

that works. There's a line

35:35

that says, I'm a sunset of

35:37

souls. The wife seemed

35:38

to have scared. That's Jimmy,

35:41

isn't it? Yes. Then we go through his whole career

35:43

and then you see this beautiful friendship

35:46

form. Yeah. They become real on each other.

35:49

Yeah. Have you seen the film Ghost? Yeah.

35:52

Swayze. Swayze. When sweat like

35:54

when back to Swayze you have to leave and go into heaven at the

35:56

end. Yeah. He does. It was clay.

35:59

That would be at. the oval, broadie

36:01

bathed in sunlight and it would be dead.

36:04

But he's walking off into what? Clay.

36:07

Instead of walking off into the heaven,

36:09

he's walking off into like a sky sports logo.

36:12

Can anyone else hear that music?

36:14

That's sounds right. Remember

36:17

that?

36:18

Yeah, sort of. Yeah. Do

36:20

you not remember that? So you're pitching a sort of we

36:23

will rock you ghost sort of

36:26

thing. So broadie walks off into the into

36:29

the sunlight is like, I got a gold Jimmy dislike

36:31

thing for me anymore. And

36:34

then again, Jimmy don't know what

36:36

to do. And then

36:38

the final finale would be

36:42

a journalist is like, what are we gonna do? What are you

36:44

gonna do now, Jimmy? He could hear a

36:46

brick in. And

36:48

then the final is he

36:50

looks to find these in the crowd and says, one

36:53

test more.

36:55

Another match, another tour away.

36:58

He plays one. That's more

37:00

than a rousing finish. Okay.

37:02

What do you think? So how

37:04

how what first question for me would be

37:07

how how how quickly you're imagining

37:09

turning that entire story story arc

37:11

around in? Well, I think he's about 10 minutes

37:14

or more.

37:14

10 minutes. 10 minutes, about five million

37:17

pounds for production. Look,

37:23

I, it would be easy to say and criticize.

37:26

Yeah, I like it broadly. Probably

37:29

speaking. But I know it'd be easy. But

37:31

what I think what is good

37:33

in that is that you're thinking.

37:36

Yeah, yeah, that's, you know, that's, that's

37:38

healthy, isn't it? That's how we get to the

37:40

idea. Yeah. Well,

37:44

I think as long as the audience are on as

37:46

much coding as you were when you wrote it

37:48

and came up with the idea, I think we'll be fine. Yeah,

37:51

I think a little bag under the

37:56

seat. Yeah, little coding guns into the audience.

37:58

Are

38:00

you being attacked by a dog? Was that part of

38:02

me? Was that part of the script? The door's just

38:05

gone. That's my dog. The door's just...

38:07

I thought it was more sound effects from matching his

38:09

laptop. I

38:12

thought when you were doing the

38:14

action bit, I thought the song

38:16

was going to be Jimmy singing They

38:18

try to change my action And

38:20

I said, no, no, no

38:23

That's what I was imagining you were going to say. Oh,

38:26

that could work as well. Well, there was an idea that we had,

38:28

which was... Which was

38:30

Jimmy playing the part of Ken from

38:32

the Barbie. Oh, yeah, go on. And it was going

38:34

to be...

38:35

We'd get Stuart Broad and it'd be Broadie and Jim instead

38:37

of Barbie and Ken. Yeah, go on. You write the words to this.

38:40

You know the song I'm Just Ken, don't you, Jim? Have you

38:42

seen it? Have you seen Barbie yet? No,

38:44

I haven't, no. Okay. Can you send us a voicemail

38:46

with the song? Yeah.

38:48

They try and make me change my action

38:50

and I say, Oh, here we go. Here we go. No, no, no. And

38:53

it goes, I'm just Ken. So

38:56

you just go...

38:57

I'm just Jim. No,

38:59

I won't bat higher than ten.

39:02

It is my destiny to live

39:04

and die a life of teh-elendery.

39:08

Would you be up for doing

39:11

a solo dressed as Ryan Gosling

39:13

as Ken? Plow me within a falcon

39:15

or no. You'd be... You

39:19

actually would, right? And coding?

39:23

I don't know if that's why. No coding. No coding. No

39:25

coding. It's bad mix. Don't do that, kid. So

39:27

anyway, that's... Also, Sharky's just... That's the first thing

39:29

in them. Matching... Sharky's just told me that the

39:31

wrong trousers are going to be available

39:34

for you throughout the tour. Amazing.

39:37

Yeah, so the wrong trousers, are they going to be on stage?

39:38

Because what I'm imagining is that we need

39:41

more stage props, so the wrong trousers are going

39:43

to be available to us. Yes. Have we,

39:45

as the co-chairs of Overton Vincipals, I

39:48

don't know if you remember, but we won the $%&$ 100.

39:51

Oh, yeah, I do remember actually. So technically, that

39:53

big H trophy

39:55

should be available to us as the

39:57

owners of it, technically. Did you

39:59

get to hold that? Not yet. Did

40:01

we get to, did we want

40:03

to get to hold it is more of a question. Because

40:05

it looks huge. Yeah. I was wondering

40:08

if it's heavy. Yeah. Is it hollow? I'm

40:10

slightly annoyed that we don't have an H in our name

40:13

for tail enders because that would that because we have the letters

40:15

on the stage. Yeah. I could but I quite like

40:17

this. Like this in my head is the

40:20

way it opens is like complete

40:22

darkness and it's just a spotlight and the H is lit

40:24

up. Please

40:27

welcome to the stage the co-owners of

40:29

Oven Invincibles plus Jimmy Anderson.

40:36

Yeah, it's like sort of like Templar Doom or something.

40:38

It's like a big, you know,

40:40

I'm worried now.

40:43

I'm starting to panic

40:45

here. No, no, I think we'll be fine. I think

40:47

I think we'll be good. This is the this is the germination

40:50

stage. Yeah. We'll, you

40:52

know, just just relax.

40:55

Everyone just relax. The ideas will flow.

40:57

They will but we do need to get that H. We

40:59

need to get the H and we need to see if we can license

41:02

the stone cold music. And

41:04

book Malala Yusef. So, yeah. All right. The

41:07

ideas are flowing and I'll get hold of

41:09

some neon clothing and some

41:11

rollerblades for Jimmy. You

41:14

roll a blade.

41:15

No, I've never I don't think I ever have

41:18

to. Anyway, so let's not worry. There's

41:20

plenty of ideas. I'm not worried. Okay. Well,

41:23

stop saying it. It sounds like you are. Jimmy

41:26

said it. That's first of all. I am. I'm

41:28

worried. You're sounding worried now. No, so

41:30

everyone's not what I'm now worried that everyone's worried.

41:33

I wasn't worried before that. But now I'm worried about

41:35

everyone else worrying.

41:36

I'm an empath. What can I say? Let's

41:42

let's hear some more thoughts from matching Tendulkar

41:45

and then we'll do some

41:46

Go Wells and then get out of here. Matching anything

41:48

else you missed out last week because you were you

41:51

were I'd say a little

41:53

bit am while we were being

41:55

FM. Exactly that you were all over the

41:57

place. Right. I was more shipping forecast.

41:59

The only thing I was supposed

42:02

to come on for last week was to talk about, to

42:04

promote my new Telenders

42:07

Best Stuff episode exclusively

42:09

on BBC Sounds, which I didn't even

42:11

do that. Have you listened to any yet?

42:13

I've listened to two of them. Have you?

42:16

Yeah. I haven't listened to any yet. How

42:18

do you mean going down, Matt Chin? I think, okay. I

42:20

think, all right. Yeah, I've had some nice texts

42:23

about them. It's quite difficult. It's quite weird

42:25

going to go into the studio on my own to do them, so

42:27

I don't have you guys to bounce off. I

42:29

was a bit nervous. I think it sounded genuinely,

42:31

I think it sounded really, really good. And

42:34

such a nice little look back at all

42:36

the things. There's a getting to know the presenters

42:38

one. There's an in jokes one.

42:41

And there's also the quizzes one is the one that's up now,

42:43

isn't it, Matt? That's the big one. That's

42:45

the big one. That's the quizzes. Yeah.

42:48

That came

42:49

out yesterday, I think. So we do get a lot of

42:51

people saying, oh, what? I want to start Telenders,

42:53

but there's 200 episodes and

42:55

I can't be asked. And fair enough.

42:58

So matching has gone back with the help of Sharknade

43:01

of the movie and some of the great people who work

43:03

at TBI, who produced this podcast.

43:05

They've gone and found all the bits that piece it together

43:07

a little bit so you can get a good overview of it.

43:11

It's a little bit like filling out the outside

43:13

of a jigsaw so that the centre

43:15

bits become a bit easier. Nice and energy there.

43:18

Do the outside first. I should have used that. Should

43:20

have used that. Should have used that. Yeah. Yeah.

43:24

OK, well, they're all available on BBC

43:26

Sounds right now. Shall we have some Go

43:28

Wells? I'd love some Go Wells. A

43:31

Go Well for all the girls who had trials

43:34

for Gloucestershire's youth squad

43:36

last Sunday. Go Well. Cheers.

43:39

Charlie took her first hat-trick for

43:41

Beckington Badgers Under 13s. Yes,

43:43

Charlie. Go Well. Cheers. Michael

43:46

took his inaugural FIFR for

43:49

Metronomes CC. Go Well. We

43:51

know those guys, yeah, Metronomes. Yeah, they're the Metronomes.

43:53

We know the guys. They give us some kits. We

43:55

can't think of them. Yeah, exactly. They

43:57

give us those kits.

43:58

Yeah. You feel

44:01

invincible, don't you? I don't actually

44:03

know. I feel invincible. Yeah, I feel invincible. Or

44:05

you feel, I hope I'm invincible. Five,

44:08

you're very much just like, I'm just

44:10

carrying this whole game. Right. Five

44:12

wickets. I don't know, you'd have to ask Jim, I don't really know.

44:15

I'm telling you. Okay. Sam

44:18

took two hack tricks in six

44:20

days. Wow. Go well.

44:23

Cheers. Got some birthdays here, Alana. We'll be in

44:25

birthdays. Alana, Amelia Skye, Lucas,

44:27

who's coming to the Bath Show, Alex

44:29

is six and loves to recreate Ash's

44:32

moments in the garden. Oh, nice. I'd

44:34

like some more details on that actually. Yep. And

44:37

also a big happy birthday to Handsome

44:39

Chris. Oh. Matt,

44:42

you sent that one in. Go well. I sent that one in,

44:44

yeah. No, nice. I couldn't attend this birthday this

44:46

weekend because obviously. You're famous now.

44:49

I'm, you can be bothered. I

44:52

went to a celebrity party instead. And

44:56

by celebrity party, he means aquaerobic, with

44:58

pensioners. No,

45:01

I couldn't attend. At the Kinche and Lido. Yeah,

45:06

happy birthday, Handsome Chris. We are forever indebted

45:08

to you for first of all, being handsome

45:11

and second of all, bringing matching Tendulkar

45:13

into our lives. New Telenders.

45:16

You and being babies. Baby. Just

45:18

the one this week. That's

45:19

because the population is slowing

45:21

down. Okay. Growth wise.

45:23

So that's a reflection of that. And there's one

45:26

child was born this week and that was Ben. Go

45:29

well. Oh,

45:31

sorry. Is that an actual official

45:33

record of births? Yeah. I

45:36

didn't realise when we read those out. That's the official UK record

45:38

of birth. We really should be doing births and deaths. Okay.

45:41

So just the one birth in the country. Got

45:44

it's like that Clive thingy film. What's, you know,

45:46

when there's no human being born,

45:48

you know, what was that film

45:49

called? I don't know. I'm sorry.

45:52

I wish I knew. Okay. There'll be many

45:54

Telenders shouting at their children of men.

45:56

I'll show you saying my ear, which is correct. Great.

45:59

move well to Lucy and

46:02

Plod who have

46:04

their first house together. Now,

46:07

I don't want to judge Plod or Lucy

46:09

actually, but I wouldn't buy

46:11

a house with someone for Plod. No.

46:16

Is it abbreviated or is it? No, no,

46:18

it's just that's their

46:20

name. What, what, but you, the

46:22

way you're saying buy a house, whatever you're like saying,

46:24

but someone's gone into a business arrangement

46:26

with Plod. Yeah. And I don't know. I

46:29

don't know if you can take

46:29

yourself seriously if you're called Plod. But I think

46:32

it's possible to fall in love with someone called Plod. I

46:36

think it's possible to fall in love with them. But then when you're signing

46:38

the mortgage deeds, he's

46:40

signing your name. Yeah, well exactly. Plod

46:43

Smith or, you know, whatever it is.

46:45

Don't you know Al Pacino? What's his real full name? Is that

46:47

Alan? Such a good point.

46:50

Alan Pacino. Alex. Alex

46:52

Pacino. It'll be an, it'll be an, it'll

46:55

be an Alejandro. Maybe

46:57

it's, maybe it's

46:58

Alfredo. That's of course, Alfredo. Is

47:00

it? Yeah, he's Alfredo Pacino.

47:03

Even better. That's cooler. Well,

47:06

Alan.

47:09

What's Plod short for? Plodney. I

47:12

don't know. I was thinking, could it be,

47:14

could it be like initials, like

47:16

Paul, Liam, Owen, Daniels.

47:19

Nice. Yeah. Like Puddle of Mud, the band or something.

47:22

Paul, was it Paul Liam O'Dowd or

47:25

something?

47:25

No. Paul Liam Owen Daniels.

47:29

I was going for Paul Daniels, a magician with the two

47:31

middle names. Plod. Paul Daniels.

47:34

Plod. I mean, Plod, it could

47:36

be a police officer, of course. I had a mate called Pod.

47:39

Pod. Because his surname was Podmoss, people

47:41

called him Pod. There's someone at Radio 1 who's called

47:43

Bod. And then I've known

47:46

her for years and when I met her, I went, is

47:48

your name actually Bod? She's like, no, it's Rebecca. Well,

47:50

same. Yeah, but so that's a great example. Sharky's

47:53

best mate, Brian O'Driscoll, is

47:55

called Bod. Brian O'Driscoll. Right.

47:58

Okay. Right. Right. Yeah. Okay.

47:59

So is it plod from the Noddy

48:02

books? Oh, is there a plod in Noddy

48:04

books? Yeah, PC plod. All right. Anyway,

48:07

Go Well to Lucy

48:09

and Plod. Move well, move

48:12

well. Chris and Poppy

48:14

have moved to Canada for a laugh. Should be a laugh. Matching

48:17

wants Go Wells for Harry

48:20

Wigram, Toby

48:23

Wilkes, DJ Dunks, flashback

48:25

funks and niche. Who are these people?

48:27

These are all random tell-and-des-all. From

48:30

a coding dream. Summer. Oh, no. These are

48:32

big figures of my imagination from a coding dream.

48:34

That's a new children's book he's working on.

48:39

And a big Go Well to Elvis Presley. Right.

48:47

Go and what? They're just people that I've met over

48:50

summer and then they always say, can I get a Go Well? And I type

48:52

it in my phone and I forget. And I

48:54

thought I'd get them all done in one big

48:56

hit. So I met them, I think,

48:57

at Edge Bastion and festivals and stuff. Get

49:00

it all done. Go well to all you guys. I'm sure they'll be chuffed to

49:02

be under the umbrella of shout outs of getting them

49:04

all done. Get that out of the way.

49:07

you can. I mean, they would you'd be instantly

49:35

installed as captain, I imagine.

49:38

them.

49:47

Because I'm lying down. Yeah. All the time.
