    England Selection, Ashes & Cricket in America

    Triggered at Midwicket is back! This week, Posh Girl Sophie and everyone's favourite teamless nomad Rob welcome TikTok's SRC Sam Cook, a sports writer from Manchester, for another packed episode of cricket chat, heated debates and some seriously difficult selection questions! With England looking ahead to their upcoming Test against South Africa, the big question is: who actually deserves a place on the plane? With Jacob Bethell recovering from injury, could he return and take the No. 3 spot from the impressive Jordan Cox? Or should England be looking elsewhere? Could Emilio Gay or Ben Duckett pay the price for underwhelming performances against Pakistan? Will Dan Lawrence make way? Or could England leave Jamie Smith out and hand the wicketkeeping gloves over to Cox? There are plenty of options — but only so many spaces! Listeners, we want your England XI:🏏 Who gets on the plane?✈️ Who stays at home?🧤 Who should be England's wicketkeeper?🔥 Who deserves the No. 3 spot? Rob and Sam get stuck into one of the biggest debates in English cricket: Is Harry Brook genuinely a generational talent, or is he simply an incredibly good batter who knows how to swing the willow? Does Brook have the maturity and consistency required to eventually take over from Joe Root as England's batting leader? And speaking of Root... With his incredible run-scoring record continuing, could he actually chase down Sachin Tendulkar's Test run record by the time England head to India in 2028? That's a HUGE question — and the boys aren't necessarily on the same page! We then look ahead to England's battles with South Africa and, further down the road, next year's Ashes. Will England be able to handle the pressure when the Ashes arrive? Could England dominate the series, or will the weight of expectation become a problem? And what about Australia? Will the Aussies arrive fit, firing and ready to defend the Ashes, or will their current crop of underperforming players be replaced before the series begins? Should Australia stick with experience, or is it time for some fresh blood? Sam gives us his verdict — now we want yours! Finally, Rob asks Sophie and Sam one of the biggest questions facing cricket: Can cricket genuinely become a major sport in America? Or will baseball always remain the favourite when Americans have grown up with a sport where someone eventually has to win? Could cricket's longer formats and the possibility of draws hold it back? And then we get into a fascinating sporting crossover: Could a professional cricketer actually transition into baseball? Could someone like Liam Plunkett make the switch? Or would it actually be easier for a baseball player to pick up cricket? Different skills, different techniques, different rules — but how much crossover is really there? And finally, we have something very special to celebrate. Triggered at Midwicket has hit 500 downloads and plays! 🎉🏏 That's also more than 100 hours of our podcast listened to — something we genuinely couldn't have achieved without everyone who's downloaded, streamed, shared, commented and supported the show.

    Unfiltered: The Cancellation Speedrun

    This week on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai, Convict returns to the podcast for another episode of absolute chaos. The plan was simple: discuss social media trends, popular things that make no sense, and the annoying phrases everyone seems to use. Unfortunately, the plan falls apart almost immediately when Kensai launches into the latest chapter of his seemingly never-ending dramatic life story. Not to be outdone, Convict starts sharing tales from his own life that probably should have remained private, but once the floodgates open there's no stopping them. Trigger makes several brave attempts to steer the conversation back on track, only to watch it derail even further with every passing minute. What follows is a completely unfiltered mix of questionable stories, controversial opinions, unnecessary oversharing, and conversations that may have been better left off the internet. No script. No plan. No filter. Just another day on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai.

    Secrets, Simulations & Sport

    This week on Unfiltered, Trigger and Kensai dive headfirst into the world of conspiracy theories and unanswered questions. Do we really live in a simulation — trapped in our own version of The Truman Show? Was there more to 9/11 than we’ve been told, and did Iraq ever truly have weapons of mass destruction? The boys also tackle the enduring mysteries surrounding JFK’s assassination, whether aliens could have built the pyramids, and the long-running rumours that Hitler escaped to Argentina after World War II. After exploring some of history’s biggest conspiracies, the conversation shifts gears as Kensai gives his verdict on the rain-soaked cricket match they were supposed to attend last weekend. Will he give cricket another chance, or has the experience permanently confirmed his dislike for the sport? Expect big questions, controversial theories, laughs, debates, and absolutely no filter.

    Common Sense Not Included

    This week on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai, Kensai is very excited to announce the “massive” decrease in the price of Xbox Game Pass, while Trigger tries to figure out whether anyone actually cares. The lads also dive into the bizarre idea of GameStop buying out eBay — something Trigger finds deeply confusing for reasons that become obvious very quickly. Things get even messier as they talk about people trying to sue Disney and the age-old question: does anyone genuinely read terms and conditions? Trigger says if you claim you do, you’re lying. Kensai completely loses it laughing while recalling the black American soldiers from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, leading into a chaotic discussion about soldiers being treated as cannon fodder, positive discrimination, and why recruitment policies can sometimes miss the point entirely — including stories about fire service recruits scared of heights, blood, confined spaces, and apparently the dark. To finish things off, the boys celebrate another victory for human stupidity as they discuss the man who rang to complain his pizza had no toppings… only to discover he’d opened the box upside down.

    Disturbed, Offended & Slightly Triggered

    This week on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai, things take a strange turn as the lads dive headfirst into what you lot have been listening to—and honestly… they’re not sure how to feel about it. From people trying to improve their work-life balance and climb the career ladder (questionable behaviour, apparently), to the bizarre world of cat music therapy, things only get weirder. There’s talk of ending long-term relationships—which Kensai takes very personally—and somehow it spirals into skin picking, hypnosis, and other corners of the internet that probably should’ve stayed undiscovered. Naturally, no episode would be complete without a detour across the pond, as Trigger and Kensai once again question America’s baffling inability to make a proper cup of tea—or even understand what a kettle is. On a more serious (but still slightly chaotic) note, Trigger announces his new venture: Triggered at Midwicket—a podcast covering everything from the hilarious side of cricket to proper analysis of the pro game, with a special appreciation for the beauty of village cricket. They wrap things up with a surprisingly real discussion tackling health myths, including a candid conversation around rising throat cancer rates and what’s actually behind it. As always: dark humour, sharp takes, plenty of mick-taking, and absolutely no filter.

    What More Do They Want? – The Convict vs. The System

    This week on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai, the Convict returns—and this time, it’s personal. He opens up about his ongoing battle with social services as he fights to get his kids back, diving into the frustrations, setbacks, and what he sees as deep-rooted issues within the system. From being forced to complete parenting courses in prison, to coming out, getting a stable job and home, and then having to jump through the same hoops all over again—he asks the question: what more do they actually want from him? Kensai listens in disbelief, trying to make sense of it all while demolishing a Greek chicken gyros and oregano chips, and Trigger doesn’t hold back—digging into the Convict’s mental health, mindset, and what his true end goal really is. It’s raw, it’s honest, and at times it’s heavy—but as always, there’s no shortage of dark humour, mick-taking, and unfiltered conversation. Real talk. No scripts. No holding back. Only on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai.

    Biscuits, Bullsht & Bad Movies

    This week on Unfiltered, Trigger and Kensai dive headfirst into cinematic chaos. Trigger gives his unfiltered verdict on Thrash, Netflix’s latest shark horror, tearing into its endless plot holes—including the now-infamous scene where an iPhone survives a flash flood… only to start blasting “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton at the most convenient moment imaginable. From there, the rant continues as the guys unpack Hollywood’s wildest logic fails, questionable writing choices, and those baffling moments that somehow made it to the final cut. They revisit low-rated films like Deep Blue Sea, and the strange trend of big-name actors showing up in movies that critics absolutely tore apart. TikTok brings the laughs this week too, with Americans visiting the UK providing unintentional comedy gold—from struggling to find “chives” in Sainsbury's, to confusion over the store’s “fashion” section, and even discovering what might be the worst biscuits on the shelves (yes, McVitie's shortcake is under fire). And just when you think things are wrapping up smoothly, Kensai does it again—somehow mixing up Gok Wan and Ken Hom like it’s become a contractual obligation at this point. As always, it’s chaotic, it’s ridiculous, and completely unfiltered

    One Apology, Endless Opinions

    This week on Unfiltered with Trigger & Kensai, things kick off with Kensai holding his hands up—issuing a full apology for some harsh, rude and ignorant comments aimed at Trigger and the diabetic community. It’s honest, it’s needed… and it sets the tone for a properly unpredictable episode. From there, the lads lighten things up by dreaming big—what would they actually do if they won the EuroMillions lottery? Expect chaos, questionable investments, and zero financial responsibility. The internet delivers again as they react to an American TikToker attempting to rate UK biscuits… only to accidentally review Weetabix—which, as discussed, is very much not a biscuit. Things then go completely off the rails as Kensai unveils his “genius” redesign of the faulty toilet aboard Artemis program, taking aim at astronauts, space travel, and the reality of what’s actually on the dark side of the moon (spoiler: it’s not the Blackpool Illuminations). There’s also a bold proposal involving Scandinavians as ideal moon candidates, plus a tongue-in-cheek take on astronauts photographing Earth to prove it’s round. And just when you think it couldn’t get stranger, the lads dive into one of the most bizarre stories yet—bread made using yeast from a human infection—before somehow linking it back to medieval torture devices like the rack and wedge. To wrap things up, a big welcome goes out to all the new listeners tuning in from around the world, including Israel, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and across South America. Unpredictable, unfiltered, and completely chaotic—just the way you like it.
