This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. BBC Radio 1. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. Hello and welcome to Thursday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. So much fun stuff to get through today, including cricket tickets.

including Jimmy Anderson, including Everyone's Rubbish featuring Maz and her swimsuit that's split. Plus we'll have a quiz with Ellen and we'll do Thursday with Charlie Hedges and our friend Tony who's a legend.

What else? Banana. Banana. Yeah. Banana with a nice man called Harry who swore for some reason, which we'll probably cut out, I imagine. That we nipped out of this edit. Here we go with today's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. And we start with everyone's rubbish. Maz, good morning. Good morning.

Good morning, Greg. Welcome to the Radio On Breakfast show and welcome to Everyone's Rubbish. Oh no, have you been rubbish? Tell me about it. Yeah, so over Christmas I went down to my parents and the local gym was doing like a two-week trial. So I thought I'm gonna sign up. I enjoyed it for a few days and then sort of towards the end I went into the hot tub and I was sat in my swimsuit and a little

A little to my knowledge, I've been in there a bit too long and basically the jet had split my swimsuit up the back from the crotch, sort of all the way up the back. Oh. And I didn't realise. And as I stood up, I sort of slowly revealed my naked self to everybody in sort of the pool area. A lot of whom I know because they were people that I used to work in the pub down there and I used to serve them. So... Oh.

Oh no, dreadful audience. Yeah. Not ideal at all. Also, I've got a lot of questions here. I've got one main one. How powerful is that jet?

Or how bad quality was the swimsuit? Well, the swimsuit was like vintage, so I think that might have been part of it. But the jets are pretty powerful. A vintage swimsuit? Like a Victorian swimmer? I wouldn't say it was Victorian. Was it? What? I don't know. So a moth-eaten swimsuit has just got blown apart by the jets? Yeah, exactly, exactly. Did you try and piece it together? Did you try and clasp it together as you waddled away? No.

I did. It was sort of saggy and wet, so I sort of just clung the wet fabric

to the back of me and sort of shuffled away but I kind of hoped that, you know, a nice villager might hand me a towel or say something but I just got a lot of weird sort of glances and side eyes from people as I sort of scuffled away, yeah. The vintage swimsuit, I'm kind of intrigued. I'm imagining you had a big sort of swimming hat on

And you were on a death chair and it's sort of, you're in, I don't know, sort of Bournemouth in the 1930s. It is a similar vibe, yeah. It's all like patterned and stuff. But yeah, apparently you shouldn't be wearing them in hot tubs. It's a warning for everyone. I feel quite sad that it's no longer, is it mendable?

I don't think so and I don't want to chance it again, to be honest. Mads, it's a really good Everyone's Rubbish. We're going to put this out there and start the year, a lot of people going to the gym, a lot of new things to get your head around, a lot of etiquette problems, you know, hot tubs and saunas and steam rooms and all the rest of it. Then let's get these stories in, please, and make Mads feel a lot better. Adam. Long story short, Greg, I wouldn't step dog turd all over the treadmill in the gym and all the way through the gym. It's

Safe to say I cancelled my gym membership and never went back there again. Oh, you can't ever. No, you can't ever. That's what they say, isn't it? Don't wear outside shoes indoors. So we're getting your everyone's rubbish stories to make Maz feel better. Let's have another. I joined the gym and dropped a weight on somebody's mobile phone. Beth? Shortly before Christmas, I have a sports bar that zips at the front.

And just as I was about to start a set of lateral raises, my sports car decided to unzip itself. Wow. Wow. It opened itself like the start of a theatre production. The curtains flung wide open. You need to put the safety curtain down.

Leanne Zimbanga in Northern Ireland has a similar one. She says, I feel the pain of this, everyone's rubbish listener today. I too have had an accidental exposure. My bikini top popped off at the top of a water slide in Egypt, exposing, and I quote, my large white baps. Wasn't expecting that. Fantastic image. Jess, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Can you follow that, please? What have we got? Have we got tops or bottoms? It's bottoms. It's bottoms. Okay, it's bottoms. Go on.

Oh god, a few years ago now at my old job I went to a very big meeting, a lot of important people. Obviously it's a big meeting, I was wearing smart clothing, I bought new trousers specifically for the occasion. They weren't quite tight, you know, I probably in hindsight should have gone... Jess, I'm going to stop you, we're going to get your phone back on because I want to hear the story properly. We'll go to James in the meantime. James, hi!

All right, Greg. Good, thank you. Very good. What's your story, James? What have you got for us? So when I was younger, I used to swim quite a high level. And once I was in like a final of a race and I dived into the pool and my swimming shorts weren't done up properly. And there was probably about 50 to 100 people watching and my bum hole was exposed. LAUGHTER

It was front crawl, was it? It was front crawl. Nah. Yeah. Good job it wasn't backstroke, I'd say. That's one saving grace, potentially. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't backstroke, absolutely. A little buoyancy just floating around. James, thank you. Have we got Jess back or we'll come back to her in a second? We've got another voice note. What have we got here? Took the kids to an indoor trampoline park and I was just watching them bounce around, having loads of fun. And obviously the inner kid of me came out and wanted to go. So we're bouncing away. I try and do a front flip.

It catapults me out and I just hear... I look down and I am split from front to back. But the only downfall is I was commando that day because inside the tracksuit bottoms, they had netting. Never, never trust the netting. Netting is never enough. You know this. He started with a swimming costume that's split in the jacuzzi and then the stuff we've got afterwards has been amazing. And a lot of people incredibly happy about hearing James's story where his...

His trunks fell down when he was doing a swimming race and he exposed his behind, or as he said, his bum hole, which made a lot of people laugh a lot. James, are you there? Hello. Where's James? Before you go, there's one quick question. A lot of people said, did you finish the race? Well, yeah. It was a deep pool, so I was squirming around, like, treading water, trying to pull up my trunks.

Well, I ended up losing the race. Oh, that's because a lot of people thought you'd have less drag, you see, because of the shorts. But anyway, well, better luck next time. Make sure they're more secured next time. James, have a good day. OK, thank you. And you. Cheers. Jess is back on finally. Jess, hello. Hi, Greg. A bit of a phone nightmare today on everyone's rubbish, which is entirely appropriate. So what were you talking about? Your trousers? My poor trousers. Yeah.

They were a little tight, let's say, but you know, bits were popping, so that's good. But obviously popping a bit too much because as I, yes, got up and started walking away from the meeting, my boss kind of came up behind me and quietly said, "By the way, you've split your trousers a little."

Me thinking a little, you know, just a small, you know, split a little bit. And I've kind of gone down to touch my behind. And yes, my whole bottom is out. And let's just say I wasn't wearing, you know, granny pants, that's for sure. So there was a lot on show. Yeah, so basically what we're saying is there was a full moon.

That's exactly what I'm saying, Greg. It haunts me to this day. This was about four years ago now. I've since left that job. Well, you have to. But you have to leave immediately. Also, you have to hand in your notice with your arse hang now. And then you need to immediately move countries. That's what needs to happen. I've never seen any of these people again. I wish. I was still quite new to the job. So I did need the job, unfortunately. I couldn't just quit.

But yeah, every time I saw my boss, the memory was brought up. So I'm quite glad that I don't have to see him every day now.

But look, isn't it? We can all laugh about it now, can't we? Oh, yes. But I'm glad I'm in good company. It's not just me. It makes me feel a lot better. Oh my God, you are. I mean, look at the state of everyone. I mean, everyone's basically naked is what we're saying when we really shouldn't be. And we've got one more here just to round off today's Everyone's Rubbish. And there's a note on my screen here that says, this one needs a content warning for anyone eating breakfast. This is not for you. Are you ready? Jess, are you ready for this?

Yeah, go for it. I have no idea what's about to happen. We went to a water park and a few days prior to that I've been feeling a little bit bummed up, shall we say? Oh God, I don't know if I can continue.

Do we continue? We have to. We have to. Okay, deep breath. And when we got there, I went on straight onto one of the big slides. Didn't realise that the water that kind of like gushes down the slide to help you down also is a really good cure to helping constipation. No. So as I was halfway down the slide, a few little poops popped out and followed me down into the water. And it was the most horrific, embarrassing thing of my whole life.

Followed her down. Wow. What's that beep? That's my life support machine. Yeah, well, that's the end of the feature today, isn't it? Jess, I think we can round that off there nicely. Yeah, I think we can end it there. Yeah, okay. Let's all go away and think about what we've done. Thanks, everybody. Next up on The Breakfast Show podcast, I think we should have a quiz, and here comes Ellen. Let's quiz. Great team this week, captained by Ben...

17 points on Monday from him. Dad Bruce on Tuesday with 13. Gemma yesterday with 12. And today we have Ellen. Ellen, good morning. Good morning. What a week. My God, has Bruce made waves this week across the nation. I know, they've all been impressive.

How's the mood? How's the family mood? The mood is buoyant. Obviously, Ben is crowing as our captain. His steer to me was to not embarrass him by getting less than 12. Gemma's just relieved to get through without swearing. And Bruce is not quite sure what to make of what's going on, I think.

Yeah, there was a really amazing exchange yesterday between me and Gemma. I was saying, can you send a picture of Bruce? Because people want to see what he looks like. And then she'd, I didn't ask for this. She'd asked for a topless photo of him, which he refused. I'm glad to do that. I didn't want to get involved in that at all. That's not what I was after. But just suffice to say, people love the team this week and it's all going very, very well. And we'll see how you get on today. So Ellen, I've got some facts about you here.

You rescue hedgehogs? Even if they don't want it, yes. Which means they don't want to be rescued. That just means you're stealing hedgehogs. Well, there was a little hedgehog wobbling about in my garden and I didn't act on it quick enough and take him. And I did take him to a rescue centre, a sort of 40 mile round trip, and then realised that I hadn't acted quick enough and he didn't make it. Oh, wow.

I know. It's a sad story. I want sad stories about that. But then two weeks later, there's another one boosting it across my garden. And by the time I dug it out of its...

It's Nast. I wasn't confident it needed rescuing, but I was thinking, I'm not having this happen again, so you're going whether you like it or not. Right. So I took another one. Did that one die? I haven't asked. I don't want to know. Right, OK. Best not to ask. With your record. I've done my best. I've done my best. OK. Well, it's good intentions, but maybe not the best idea. Stop killing hedgehogs, Ellen.

I know. And the second one tried to escape as I was driving, which was a bit disconcerting. Yeah, I'm not surprised because it saw what he did to his mate. I know, yeah. Let's get on with the quiz, shall we? 90 seconds on the clock. I'm going to give you a point just for hedgehog chat, OK? Oh, thank you. I think you deserve that just for being excellent. 90 seconds, loads of questions about stuff that happened yesterday. Here we go with your questions on yesterday's quiz.

17 is the score to beat. And your time starts when you give me your first answer. The Traitors was on BBC One last night. What are the two categories of people on the show? A traitor and what? Faithful. Correct. Celtic beat Dundee United 2-0 yesterday. But which home nation are both those teams in? Scotland. Yes, it was Cynthia Erivo's birthday. What movie musical did she star in with Ariana Grande?

Wicked. Correct. It was National Bubble Bath Day yesterday. What's customary in a bubble bath? Rubber ducks or rubber goose? Rubber ducks. It was revealed that the TV show Ghosts might be getting a film adaptation. Give me your best impression of an excited ghost that's just got a movie deal. Good. Two for that. Jade teased her new single yesterday, but which girl band was she a member of?

A little mix. Correct. A baby giraffe in Colombia was named Tahini yesterday. But what should Tahini be used for? Enhancing a halloumi wrap or soothing a sore foot? A halloumi wrap. Yes. Tottenham beat which Scouse football team yesterday 1-0? Scouse Liverpool. Correct. The SAG Awards announced this year's nominees, including Daniel Craig for Best Actor. But which super spy did he famously play? James Bond. Yes. Noah Cyrus turned 25. Who is her pop star sister?

Miley. Correct. Scientists revealed supernova explosions distort space-time, but which dog was recently left with a steaming bum after his personal supernova explosion recently? Barney. Yes, my dog. Who was on the quiz yesterday? Gemma. Correct. Shawn Mendes was in Machu Picchu yesterday, but what is Machu Picchu? A Pokemon or the remnants of an ancient civilisation?

Yes. Listener Jenny won tickets to which sporting event during yesterday's Jan Slam? Radio. Sorry, Formula One. Yes, it was at Silverstone. That is your time up. Oh, Ellen, you did so well. I don't think you got one wrong, did you? It was a clean sweep. Ben will be steaming. Like my dog's behind. Absolutely. I've got to say, Ellen, he'll be so cross because you've got

Exactly the same as him. You got 16 plus the point for a clean sweep. You're on 17. I know, but he thinks you're going to give him an extra one for the rugby, the ladies rugby that happened last night. Oh, does he now? Was the game replayed last night? Oh, this is amazing. So this, on Monday...

What was the question, Amy? It was Nottingham Forest versus Burnley. We're playing who won Burnley or Nottingham Forest. Now, Ben said Nottingham Forest. Now, the problem was they hadn't actually played the match we've been postponed and we hadn't done our research. It was Monday, first day back after Christmas. Henry is excused for that because you put both down. I put both down. And then in the morning, you were like, oh, we're going to cross one of them off. We didn't cross either off because he didn't play. But Ben said Nottingham Forest. And big reveal, Nottingham Forest won 1-0. Oh, he got it. He predicted it. Oh.

So he's on 18, you're on 17. That means it's going to be you versus him in the final anyway tomorrow. We look forward to getting you back on tomorrow morning, Ellen. Do you want to go again? Excellent. All right. We'll speak to you and Captain Ben tomorrow at 7.15. Amazing from Ellen today. So good. I mean, a couple of hedgehogs did die in the process, but really good. Next up, we'll get you up to date with all the latest things. What was your favourite?

Two, I think. Two. Oh! I don't know what was in the first one. Traitors, Linda, scissor and people stuck in a pub in Yorkshire. And you, because of the I love to. Yeah, your little voice. Number one, please. We need to go quiz. Have we already done quiz? Yeah. Let Henry feed his narcissism. What? Joke. Hey. I don't think Henry's a narcissist. Hey, fuck it. I don't think there are any narcissists in here. No.

Says me. Hang on, wait. I don't think there are any narcissists in here. Your day will end soon. Oh, God, I didn't mean to say soon. I meant to say one day. You mean me? Yeah. Why? What do you mean? You just killed him off. What do you mean my day will end? Do we need to call HR? I don't know. I'm sorry. That was an unprecedented outburst. You threatened your life, I know.

Did you mean my life or my time on the show? Time on the show, yeah. OK, yeah. That will end. That will end all my life. Let's keep it light, Henry. Jesus. Is this because I called you Dot Cotton? Someone's just texted in saying, oh, my God, why aren't you discussing the traitors? And then just told me who left last night.

It's reverse spoilers because I told you earlier I haven't watched it because I went to bed but I have caught up on the Linda stuff so you've just ruined it for me and I'm so careful with spoilers with you so up yours but I'll watch it just I'd watch it just for Linda Sarah Cox has been on

Her and her daughter just love watching it for Linda. She said she is one of the worst actresses ever. She is so bad, and that's why we love her. But the thing is, she's getting away with it, and we'll start with her. Let's do Linda Lookout. Thanks to the great TV critic, Scotty Bryan.

Who has just put a compilation together of just Linda's moments, because that's all we watch it for. You don't have to be a sailor to know you have to tie a rope. Sorry. What are you talking about? Then her at breakfast. Oh, oh, oh, I'm so curious. Who's going to come in? Who's going to come in? Who could it be? Oh, my God. Who the hell is not going to come back? It's so bad, but no one's clocked on.

Next up, we go to Yorkshire. Tan Hill Inn in Yorkshire, which is Britain's highest pub. It's been hit hard by the recent snowy weather. And this is a familiar story, this. 23 people, six members of staff and a dog are stuck at this Yorkshire pub. Doesn't this always happen? It's very convenient. I mean, it's a great trick. Oh, it's snowing, is it? I'm just up to the highest pub. I'll see you later.

And by later, I mean in four days' time, because this is a great, amazing lock-in. According to the manager, guests have enjoyed a movie day and a big party where they sang, ate and drank a lot of alcohol. This is people just waiting for the snow and then they go to the highest pub. It's great. So they've been there for ages. Are they out now? Are they still in? I'm not sure. I don't know. Are you still there? You might be listening to the radio. Well, if you're still in, we'll chat to one of you.

Next up, SZA. She was on a chat show in America and she talked about collaborating with Kendrick. Would you and Kendrick together consider doing a joint album? I would love that. I would love that. I think that would be amazing. I would love that. We were talking about... I would love that. Henry, who works on the show earlier, who has got a slightly rough voice today. I am, well, making a hype. Yeah, you sound like SZA.

You're a combination of SZA and Doc Cotton. And that Miley Cyrus one. I would love that. I would love that. I would love that. Anyway, so that is happening. So there's going to be a Kendrick and SZA album at some point in our lives. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Next up on The Breakfast Show podcast, let's do Thursday. Greg James over here.

Charlie Hedges over there. Hello. And next to Charlie Hedges is one of the legends of the building. We've had him on the show a few times before. He is one of the unsung heroes. He is. The person that makes this whole place work is Tony Wood. Yay! Tony, Tony. Charlie just looked across the room at me and went,

I've never been on air with Tony Wood before. I'm buzzing. This is the best day ever. You should be. I am. In the presence of greatness here. I know. This is Tony who looks after all the operations and stuff here. That makes it sound more surgical than it is. He's not actually a surgeon. Although you do keep everything going, don't you? If there's a problem, you get in there under the bonnet and you fix it. Yeah, I've got a scalpel. So Tony makes sure all the radio stations work.

but he's also a legend. I remember when we first started, we must have got Tony in our studio every day for about six months. I'm not even joking. He was sick of us. And I know you wouldn't say that because you're a nice person, Tony, but you were, weren't you? No.

Absolutely not. Was it because the microphones weren't working or something? Well, it was just us. It wasn't the studios. He was just coming to fix us. So Tony is basically the babysitter of all of us. And he's also brilliant at doing Thursday. These very much are the big guns. You two together for January for all the Thursday shout outs. This is what the nation needs. I didn't realise Tony was Essex based as well, which makes it even more exciting now. Absolutely.

Essex is the birthplace of the way. Do you not think? Do you think, Tate? I think it is. Yeah, why not? I lived in Essex for a while as well. I know. I'd say half Essex. So, yeah. Just going to be carnage then. Let's go proper. Can we do proper first? Let's go. We're going to play... I've chosen an amazing song as well.

It's sort of Christmas related, but not a Christmas song. If you watched a particular sport a lot over Christmas, it features heavily in that sport. And it's going to be perfect for your voice notes on Third Way. The song we're going to play is something that you love, Charlie. I know you play this on Dance Anthems. Yep. Coven. Oh my gosh. Chase the Sun. So it's the Coven version of the Chase the Sun record, which is the big... The dark stuff. The big dark song. We've got your voice notes. Let's begin.

I've got a three-day weekend because I'm off on Monday because it's my birthday. Good start. Going surfing and it's two degrees. I am so excited tonight. I finally get to watch Wicked. Yay!

- We're going to Lembos to pick up some signage. - Something about signage. - Going to the zoo with my little boy and my best friend and her baby. - My five hour journey has been turned into seven hour due to traffic. But first one. - Always look on the bright side. - Went to the beach to watch the sunrise. - Hope you Instagrammed it.

We'll forward that on to the police. Got to the gym this morning. I've got my gym bag. Had to drive all the way home to get it. Wahey! He could have run back. Let's go again. I got made redundant from my job and now I'm on gardening leave and using humour to cope with it. Wahey! Wahey! Wahey, sort of. Well, we can try to use humour, though.

It will brighten up for you, I promise. Let's have another. Taking my son to his first ever Leeds game at Ellum Road. Woo-hoo. Woo-hoo. Some great ones today. We've got some more. Shall we go through some more? Yeah. One more day on call after 12 days of working straight. Woo-hoo. Vix. I am incredibly excited about going out with my friends tonight for tacos and margaritas tonight.

Tacos and margaritas on a Thursday. Oh, both are not gone. Yeah, nice. Early finish today and the day after tomorrow. Whee! Whee! Good third ways today. Very good. Tony, thanks for joining us. Oh, we've got one more. Sorry, Jade, I missed you. Just started a new job. I'm over 300 miles away from home, but I've got the weekend off. Whee!

This one here, Tony, do you recognise this accent? I am so excited tonight. I finally get to watch Wicked. I think that's your neck of the woods. That's Nottingham, isn't it? Yeah, it sounds like it, yeah. I am so excited tonight. Excited. I finally get to watch Wicked. She's a little more eloquent than I am. LAUGHTER

Tony, don't do yourself down. Tony Wood, thank you. Thank you. Tony Hedges, thank you. That was so fun. Great Thursday today. We'll go again next Thursday. Can we book you both in again? Oh, yeah. Tony, you in? Yeah, I'm up for that. If Tony's in, I'm in. Great. All right, we'll go again next Thursday. And now, let's give away some tickets. Cricket is an extraordinary game. Under immense pressure as a crowd go berserk. I don't think it's quite sunk in yet. Radio 1's Jam Slam.

Every day throughout January on JanSlam we give you a huge prize or the chance to get a huge prize at least. Sports, TV, music, festivals, all sorts of stuff. They are money can't buy prizes. Today, two tickets to England-India, the Women's T20 on Saturday the 12th of July at Edgbaston and also two tickets for the first day of the Lords Test match, the men's test England versus India.

I mean, I guess money could buy those. Let's not get pumped out of the detail. It's a great prize and it can be yours today. To enter, text the words 6 to 8 1119. This is a huge prize. But why should I tell you about how brilliant it is when I know somebody who's played at Edgbaston and who's played at Lords against India? Good morning, Jimmy. Good morning. Oh!

Jimmy, Jimmy! All right? I'm good, yeah. Good prize, this, isn't it? Good prize. Great prize, yeah. Tell everyone what it's like when India come and play in England. Well, cricket in India is absolutely massive. So obviously they've got a huge following and it's always a great series. Two really good teams.

The atmosphere is always electric in the ground. So part of the prize is day one tickets to the England India test at Lord's. Day one of a Lord's test is always very, very special. And also two tickets to the England India Women's T20 on Saturday the 12th of July at Edgbaston, which is an amazing place to watch cricket, isn't it? Yeah, I think that's the best ground for me. That's the

the closest you'll get to like a football kind of atmosphere really a real buzz around the ground lots of fancy dress so yeah it's just a real fun day out and you love bowling against India don't you tell us what it's like to bowl against them and what they're like as competitors because they are they can be ferocious they are ferocious yeah fierce competitors cricket in India is huge and

And yeah, it's just always been a great contest. They always come over here and want to do well. So yeah, it's pretty special. Yeah, the amazing thing about cricket in India is it is, as you said, massive. It's like a religion. And when the players come over here, they have to be escorted around the ground because it is like A-list celebrities walking around. People are just hanging out of windows to try and get a glimpse of their favourite superstars. It's kind of bizarre, isn't it?

Yeah, well, in India it's incredible. I've never experienced anything like it. You literally walk in from the hotel to the team bus. There'll be two or three thousand people outside the hotel just waiting to get a glimpse of their sort of heroes, their superstars. It's an amazing thing to experience.

Be part of it on JanSlam. You can still enter. There's still time. Now, Jimmy, you know the Radio 1 number. I know you do. I know you're a regular listener. So text the word six to what number?

81199. That's it. Text the word 6 to 81199 and you could be going to the cricket this summer on Jan Slam. Jimmy, thank you. Go well. Cheers. Two tickets to England India for the women's T20 in July at Edgbaston and two tickets for day one of the men's England India test at Lords. Could be either Anand's or Cicely's today. Anand, good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Two fantastic names on Jan Slam today. So, Cicely, tell us about your cricketing credentials. Who did you take with you? What made you want to enter this competition today? Okay, so I entered because my granddad is a very long-term cricket fan and he would absolutely love it. It would make his year.

And what about you? Do you know your stuff as well? Because you're going to need to. I do like cricket, but it's mainly for him. So hopefully I've got what it takes. Great. Anand, what about you? Have you got a team? Have you got some favourite cricketers? What's the situation with you? Well, I'm just a massive sport fan, to be fair, Greg. And cricket's definitely up there with one of those major sports that I love. So, yeah, I love watching the cricket, love watching the Ashes, love watching the Cups. Love to be there. I've never been to Lords or Edgbaston. I've done the Oval.

But yeah, I love to go. I love watching live sports. So yeah. It's an amazing prize just to have that. Just have that in your back pocket for the summer to look forward to. Not only do you get to see England-India, the women's T20, which will be two brilliant teams. You get one of the iconic days of cricket, which is day one of a Lord's Test match in the summer. So really good prizes today. What do you do, Cicely? What have we interrupted this morning?

I actually work from home. I just work as an admin assistant. Okay, so you've got time. You've got time to do this competition today. I've got time to be doing this. And Anand, what about you?

So I head up the sales team at a logistics firm. So I'm sure they're probably, some of them are listening. They probably can't believe that I'm on the radio. Yeah, yeah. So I work from home as well, like Sicily. So I'm just at home today. Great. Trying to stay nice and composed. Exactly. It's good that you're both at home because you can stay calm and we'll play inhaler and then we'll get you on for the actual questions for Jan Slam. That is happening next on The Breakfast Show. So Anand versus Sicily.

Tickets to the cricket. Loads of tickets to Edgbaston and then to Lourdes. It's going to be a good one. You're playing on behalf of your granddad, Cicely. Is he listening? Do you know? I really, really hope so. I don't know because I haven't told him about these tickets. But fingers crossed. Well, I guess if you don't win, just don't tell him. I won't mention it. OK, and who would you take, by the way?

Well, it would be a bit of a lottery, I think, in terms of whether it's my wife or my mate or my dad. Or Cicely's grandad. There'd be lots of takers. There'd be lots of takers. But before we begin, actually, what I would say is if I do lose Cicely, that's an amazing kind of reason.

that you've entered. So I'm happy if obviously it doesn't work out for me. You know, all the best to you. Oh, this is nice. Thank you. I'm so sweet. And you. And you. Lovely. We could be trying to psych you out, Cicely. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, exactly. So I'll keep an eye on that. It'd be great to be like, and I'm going to take your granddad and we're going to have a great day without you. We'll just go together, yeah.

Okay, right. Serious faces. It's a very serious competition. Poker face, poker face. The questions will be about cricket. For each question, you'll be allowed to answer if you know the answer, obviously. If you get it right, you win the prize. If you get it wrong, then it immediately goes to the other person. So please don't get it wrong and only answer when you're absolutely sure. The questions start very difficult and they get easier as we go along. You can stay quiet if you're not confident, but if you don't give it a go, then the other person might swoop in

So, Cicely and Anand, you have five seconds to answer each question. If I don't hear anything from either of you, we'll move on to the next one. Please shout out your name and then your answer straight away. If you hesitate, I might have to disqualify you and give your opponent the prize. Only say your name when you know what you're going to answer. You can interrupt, but I will stop asking the question if you do. Is that all clear? Cicely, happy? All good, all good. Anand? Yes, yep, all good, Greg. All right, don't get it wrong.

Concentrate, listen carefully. Here we go with the questions. Question number one. India's Mitali Raj holds the record for the most runs scored by a woman across all three formats in international cricket. But how many runs in total?

Yeah. Not surprised. Not surprised it didn't go on that one. Unless you happened to have ESPN Crick Info opened on your phone at the same time. What do you reckon? What would you have gone for, Sisley, as a guess? Um... Maybe, like... Oh, that's a really difficult one. Maybe, like, nine... 9,000? Be a good guess. Anand? I don't know. I don't know. Well, it's got to be over a century. I'm going to go...

No, Sicily was way closer. It was 10,868, an amazing amount of runs. Yeah, so you're pretty close there, Sicily. I'm pretty pleased with that. Question two. What year did the great Sachin Tendulkar retire from all forms of cricket? I played along earlier before we did the show and...

Devastatingly, I was one year out. I said 2014, it was the end of 2013 is what we were after. Tricky one. I really should have known that. Question three. Which cricketer holds the record for being the leading wicket taker for England in the men's ashes, taking 137 wickets in 26 tests?

Oh, I really thought someone would have a go at that. Do you know what? I actually know it as well. What do you think it is, Cicely? Is it James Anderson? No, it's not, Jimmy. We thought someone would say Jimmy. It's the other one. It's Stuart Broad, isn't it? It's Stuart Broad. Yeah, I was going to go Jimmy Anderson as well, but I wasn't sure. Well, then you played the game well, because if you don't know, if you're not absolutely sure, don't risk it.

Yeah, it was Brodie. 137 wickets in Ashes cricket. Amazing record. Amazing. He loves the Ashes. Okay, question four. How about this one? They get easier, so it could go here. Which England men's batter has the most test centuries against India with 10?

Oh, come on! Do you know what? My cricket trivia is not up to par. Well, you probably do know this one. It is the obvious one. It is England's greatest ever. It's Joe Root. Oh, that was who I was going to say. But I wasn't certain again. OK. OK.

I'm glad that Grandad's not listening to this. Can we have a really easy question? Yes, you can have a really easy question. That is coming next. Here we go. Question five. What colour did India famously play in in one day international T20 cricket? Anand, Anand, blue. Anand, blue. Oh, God.

The groan from Cicely says it all. And you've said blue. We're on question five. You get the tickets. Congratulations. Amazing. There you go. You wanted the easy question. You got it. Thank you. I'm sorry, Cicely. That's all right. Would you have got there, Cicely, anyway? Literally, it was on the tip of my tongue, but it just flew in, didn't it? Would you have got the next one? How many players are there on a traditional cricket team?

Would you have got that one? I mean, that's a very easy question, but I would have to think about that. OK, right. It's the pressure, Cicely. That is tricky. But it's been very nice having you both on. Cicely, have a good day. Don't send my regards to your granddad because this conversation hasn't happened. It's not happened. They call it grand slam for a reason.

I feel like I should take your grandad, Cicely. I feel like I should take your grandad with me. Don't feel obliged. All right, Cicely, have a great day. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good night, Cicely. Anand, great work. You get the tickets, you get everything. There you go. Wow. Do you know, I've never won anything on the radio. Well, I've never been on the radio and I've never won anything on the radio. So, you're the first. Let me say, you're very good on the radio. You should come back.

Oh, can I? I'd love to be on your show. Come back again if you want. If you've got something fun to talk about, absolutely. Well, Anand, for now, you can come back and give us a little review of the cricket. How about that?

Oh, that would be amazing, yeah. I'd love to do that. Enjoy. Have a great time. Thanks for being on this morning. And we go again with another Jan Slam tomorrow. And finally, the investigation into the banana continues. Yesterday, we were talking about this incredible story. Who is leaving a plate of peeled bananas on a street in Nottinghamshire every month? Yeah, on the second of every month, this has been happening in Beeston in Nottingham.

And I launched an investigation yesterday. The mysterious plate has appeared on the second day of every month in the same spot in Beeston for more than a year now. Yeah, I wanted to get involved with this and just see who we could get to give us some information about it. I've asked Alice Levine, formerly of Radio 1, now sort of queen of podcasts. She does a show called British Scandal and that is her patch. She is from Beeston.

It's definitely a job for her, I think. Some people are just getting sick of it, saying that the bananas go mouldy, that they're gross and that they're making the street unappealing. Yeah, she was up for it, by the way. I asked Alice to imagine what the podcast of this story would be like if it was a British scandal. Do you mean like a beast in 2025? A street somewhere near Alice's parents. As Ken Levine approached the plate, he could tell straight away...

It was full of bananas. That sort of thing. Yeah. I can write one of those. No bother. But we need more information in order to make that happen. We now cross to on the scene reporter Harry Stevens, who is a reporter and newsreader for BBC Nottingham. Harry, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Thank you for joining me. Harry, thanks for joining the investigation. I know this is very serious. I know you're taking it seriously at BBC Nottingham as well. Yeah. So tell me what you know, please, Harry.

So what we know is that for over a year, 16 to 22 bananas have been appearing on a street corner in Beeston. My editor, Becky, saw it on Facebook. She sent me out. And it's just been the maddest week. We're not sure who's doing this. None of the residents know. People are saying it could be witchcraft. It could be a cultural offering. Is it for wildlife? No.

No idea. They're not very happy though, Greg. They're quite unhappy. Yeah. They don't like it. They don't like these fruits being left on their street corner. They're not enjoying it. Now, Harry, I want to talk about CCTV. Has that been scanned? Have people scanned ring doorbells, for example? Yeah.

Not that I know. Not that I know. I don't think people have looked at Ring Door Bars. I think most of the residents I spoke to were just baffled, but because it only happens once a month, I don't think they're that bothered. They're bothered at the time, if that makes sense. Are the bananas, do you know what state the banana is in? Are they ripe? Are they green? Are they ripe or are they woody? Because you know when you get a woody banana, it's a bit hard and horrible.

I would say they're probably like a medium ripeness. Right. A medium ripeness. Maybe slightly brown, a couple of brown spots on them. Yeah, a few brown spots. Yeah, a few brown spots. And they are drizzled in honey as well, so I don't know if that's part of it or if someone else does that. I presume it's the same person, but yeah. Are the police involved?

No, not that I know of. I don't think they're involved. We did speak to the local council. They don't know anything. So, yeah, who knows? Maybe we should hit up next. Has anyone dusted the fingerprints yet? No. No, we haven't. Okay. I think what we need to do here is an old-fashioned stakeout.

I think we need to watch. Someone needs to be watching that plate just to see. We need to get out there on the first because if this person strikes again on the second, we need to be ready with maybe, in my head, a big net to catch them. I am going to be staked out overnight whether or not I'm allowed to. I want to see this. I want to know who's doing it. We need to find out. We need to investigate. Harry Stevens from BBC Nottingham. For now, thank you. Thank you. The investigation continues.

All right, that's the end of The Breakfast Show podcast. Thanks for listening. I'll be back with you tomorrow where we'll have the final of the quiz. We'll have wrong-uns with Bruce, that's confirmed. We'll get you up to date with all the latest things and Jack Saunders is going to be on talking all about his brilliant Chapel Roan interview. So make sure you're listening tomorrow, either live or on this podcast. I don't care either way as long as you listen. Bye.

Yoga is more than just exercise. It's the spiritual practice that millions swear by.

And in 2017, Miranda, a university tutor from London, joins a yoga school that promises profound transformation. It felt a really safe and welcoming space. After the yoga classes, I felt amazing. But soon, that calm, welcoming atmosphere leads to something far darker, a journey that leads to allegations of grooming, trafficking and exploitation across international borders. ♪

I don't have my passport, I don't have my phone, I don't have my bank cards, I have nothing. The passport being taken, the being in a house and not feeling like they can leave.

You just get sucked in so gradually.

And it's done so skillfully that you don't realize. And it's like this, the secret that's there. I wanted to believe that, you know, that whatever they were doing, even if it seemed gross to me,

was for some spiritual reason that i couldn't understand revealing the hidden secrets of a global yoga network i feel that i have no other choice the only thing i can do is to speak about this and to put my reputation and everything else on the line i want truth and justice

And for other people to not be hurt, for things to be different in the future. To bring it into the light and almost alchemise some of that evil stuff that went on and take back the power. World of Secrets, Season 6, The Bad Guru. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
