Työssä harvoin on kyse vaan työstä. Se on aikaa, arkea. Työ on iso osa elämää. Toisella puolella mietitään, löytyykö paikka, joka sopii tähän elämäntilanteeseen. Ja toisella puolella, löytyykö tekijä, joka oikeasti istuu joukkoon. Silloin syntyy hyvää jälkeä, kun oikeat ihmiset ja työ löytää toisensa. Ja sitä tapahtuu, kun asiat oikeasti bondaavat.

Hello and welcome to Tailenders!
Thank you for having us on Tailenders. Oh, interesting. Interesting, because I heard Jimmy do the Felix role, but then I heard what sounded like Felix playing the guitar, but on my screen, it's not Felix playing the guitar. Who is playing the guitar? That would be me, Gregory James. I've stepped up in the absence of Felix White, who's playing his music to thousands.
I'm playing my music to you guys.
Well, also to tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands on tailenders. Yeah, Felix is on tour with the Maccabees, but he has recorded a really lovely chat with Izzy Wong after the Women's T20 World Cup final took place at Lourdes on Sunday. We're going to hear that a bit later. This is GeForce Greg James in London. We have Matching Tendulkar live in Bristol and we have Jimmy in the house that wickets and modelling and other investments has bought in Manchester.
Hello. Hello. Can I just quickly ask, Matt, was that a bit of Blackbird by the Beatles you just played there?
I didn't want to say anything, but I have been learning Blackbird through the summer, yes. It's the only song I know. I thought I heard that. Wow. Anyway, guys, how have you been? You've both had crazy weeks. Well, me and Jimmy were just catching up about our crazy weeks and our crazy weekends. And I was just giving a bit of gossip about my New York trip. Obviously, he was more excited about hearing about my World Cup trip. Went to see Brazil, Norway. And then I was like, yeah, busy old time. Went to a wedding. And then I said, Jimmy, what have you been up to? And he replied. What did you reply with?
I've been playing T20s and watering my tomato plants.
Similar. Tricky in this hot weather, no?
It is really tricky, actually. So I've got some, I think they're Shirley tomatoes.
Don't call me Shirley.
And in this heat, they need so much watering, can I just say. They surely do. But they are bearing fruit. They surely will. They are, they are. I can see some, there's about... 15 to 20 tomatoes on each planet at the minute coming through. So I'm buzzing.
Yeah, that is really good.
So f*** Taylor Swift, I've got tomatoes.
Also, you've both been in the Royal Box at Wimbledon separately. How was that? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Jimmy sort of, that's where he belongs, I'd say. What, you're watching the football?
I was pressing the volume down. He's got a football in front of him. What's the score? It's 1-0 to Egypt. And Messi missed a penalty.
Yeah, how was the Royal Box?
Yeah, that's sort of Jimmy's realm, isn't it? The Royal Box. In fact, when I went there, they said, oh, have you been here before? And I said, yes. I was Jimmy's plus one a few years ago and Daniela has still not forgiven me or him. Yeah. But it was nice to make my mum the plus one this time. Jimmy, for you, you've been a few times, haven't you now? When they get you to stand up. Now what?
My daughter's ringing my wife and it's coming through on the computer.
Thought that'd be a reminder to water the tomatoes.
No, but we'll have to straight after this podcast.
Do you still get excited when you're in the Royal Box and you're asked to stand up and you've got all those legends around you?
Yeah, I'd say standing up is probably the least look forwardable to thing that there is. but yeah the whole thing's amazing I love tennis Daniela loves tennis so it's the greatest day if you're a tennis fan and to sit in the Royal Box incredible view we had amazing games as well we watched Djokovic we watched Sabalenka against Osaka and Sinner played last so it was just the best day yeah that's a huge huge day we got to see Serena Williams which was good
