Hot and Unhinged

6/24/20261 hr 5 min

Despite it being 200 degrees and Sharky insisting all fans and air con are turned off (it’s too noisy) the Tailenders assemble to review the Mens 2nd Test between England and New Zealand, heap praise on Matt Henry, marvel at Joe Root’s 14,000 runs and ask is it ok for Rock Stars to wear shorts?

Plus some Stat Bombs from Andy Zaltzman, Mattchin’s mystery holiday meeting, and can the Tailenders community help Issy Wong finish her World Cup Sticker album?

  2. Felix White· Host0:01

    Hello, and thank you for having us on Tail Enders, your loosely cricket-based podcast In the searing heat. Oh. [exhales] It's so bad. [laughs] It's actually so bad in my flat. It's not even... Do you know what I've done as well? Just out of habit, I've made a cup of tea for the episode.

  3. Greg James· Host0:17

    Mm-mm.

  4. Jimmy Anderson· Host0:18

    Refreshing.

  5. Greg James· Host0:19

  6. Felix White· Host0:23

    Yeah, can it?

  7. Greg James· Host0:24

    Yeah.

  8. Felix White· Host0:25

    Talk me, talk me through the science behind that.

  9. Greg James· Host0:26

    I don't know the science.

  10. Felix White· Host0:27

    Oh, okay.

  11. Greg James· Host0:27

    I'm not Hannah Fry. But there is- [laughs] ... there is some science.

  12. Felix White· Host0:30

    [laughs] It's 'cause you, the science is because you said so. Oh, I drink it then. Cheers.

  14. Felix White· Host0:37

    Cheers ...

    Oh, cheers. Cheers.

  19. Greg James· Host0:47

    He's been on his holidays, and he's bumped into a famous person.

  20. Felix White· Host0:49

    Mm.

  21. Greg James· Host0:50

    [laughs] And he's got a story to tell. We don't know what that story is, but he's bumped into a famous person.

  22. Felix White· Host0:54

    He is a famous person though, so.

  23. Greg James· Host0:57

    Maybe he just bumped into a mirror. [laughs] Um, how is everyone coping in the heat? 'Cause this is, you know, just a little bit of topical chat just to get us warmed up. Um- [laughs] As you can tell by my face, I'm really struggling.

  24. Felix White· Host1:12

    I'm being in the studio. It's so bad.

  25. Greg James· Host1:13
