What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O'Doherty · S4 EP23: David Baddiel · 6 Jun 2026 podcast

You have to say that's wonderful.

Anyway, I wrote to my producer to say, at no point do I say that that's the second goal.

Right, okay.

I just start talking about that goal and we assume everyone knows what I'm talking about and I'm not sure Radio 4 audiences do.

And Barry Davis, the greatest of all time.

So I don't know how much like you had Ben Elton on the other day and Ben Elton probably had a day where he worked quite hard because he works quite hard.

And I'd sometimes work quite hard, but most of the time I'm thinking, how can I maximize my pleasure?

And I think people listening will think David Baddiel is like a very, very shit aristocrat.

He's like,

trying to live the life of a sort of 17th century bohemian of leisure, a libertine, but he can't quite do it.

And this happens again.

I basically go and play tennis with my son.

Now, it was too hot.

play tennis when we meant to play tennis which was at three o'clock and so david lloyd which is a local uh sports center we cancelled our outdoor court and we went at five o'clock and played on the indoor court right now i would say yesterday i sweated more on the indoor court of david lloyd which is not that i ever have in my sauna

And you know what there wasn't?

There was no big barrel of water for me to get into out there.

There was a swimming pool, but obviously I didn't want to get in that because it wasn't a barrel.

No, I get very angry and start shouting a lot.

There's quite a lot of people looking over, children looking over, just swearing and the self-castigation that goes on throughout my tennis.

I mean, I don't know if this is that interesting, but I've got a weird thing going on with my arm.
