Max Rushden and Charlie Baker hold down the fort one last time before the massive World Cup kick-off. On today's episode, Blur bassist Alex James joins the lads to talk about his life in music and how he is building up the ultimate hype for England’s upcoming tournament campaign.

Then, things take a highly unpredictable turn as Nigel Adderley drops by to help the boys debut a brand-new weather game.

Plus, award-winning comedian Dan Tiernan steps up to the microphone to chat about his highly anticipated upcoming live comedy tour.

This marks Max and Charlie's final show before the tournament begins, but don't worry, Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs will be back in the hot seat starting tomorrow to bring you the vast majority of our daily World Cup podcasts from 1:00 PM.

Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs bring you a packed show tracking the massive breaking story in English cricket. The Cricketer's senior correspondent George Dobell joins the podcast to break down why he believes Test captain Ben Stokes is on the verge of stepping down and retiring from the sport entirely by the end of the day.

Shifting focus to football, former referee and broadcaster Christina Unkel helps make sense of the breaking World Cup controversy after top Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry into the United States, completely ruling him out of officiating the tournament.

Plus, comedian and Watford die-hard Dee Allum stops by to discuss her wild plan to watch absolutely every single match of the tournament.

Finally, comedian and Evertonian Phil Nichol drops in to talk about returning to the Edinburgh Fringe for his first show in seven years, 'Aren't We Lucky'.
