Summary

Harry Brown discusses the growing public health burden of e-scooters and scramblers, noting that while fatalities are low, serious injuries are rising as the government moves slowly toward licensing. The conversation shifts to the hosepipe ban, revealing that Leinster residents were the most likely to report neighbors for water misuse. The pair also examines a study showing that 70% of World Cup branding promoted unhealthy products, and they debate whether Jack Lowton from *Slow Horses* would be a convincing next James Bond.
