What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O'Doherty · S5 EP4: Mike Rice · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

You're kind of being entertained, as it were, in some way, shape or form.

Whereas meditation, you're focusing on your breath with the goal of getting yourself to a place of no thought and to detach yourself from your horrible, nasty mind that is conspiring to sabotage your life.

Question, Mike.

Well, Max, let me tell you, it doesn't surprise me that you don't meditate.

There's a lack of presence there.

Apple, mouth, me, mouth, max, apple, together.

you know what actually you're better off because i wouldn't meditate if i didn't have to meditate like it's just you know what i mean of course it's needs most i don't think anyone does it that doesn't have to do it because it's like one of those things where you're like my mind is like a bag of spiders and i somehow have to put some manners on my mind in some way and that's what meditation is it's putting manners on your mind and being like i am the captain you do not run the ship

And then my father, who's like you, Max, in a way, you know what I mean?

There wouldn't be much God in him.

He says, it's his catchphrase, is never think about anything.

He really... That's a great way to live.

Dalai Lama or something yeah and I can't tell you how difficult and individual he is but he declares you just that's the problem you say have you got the shopping and he goes oh I didn't think about that yeah he can stay away with anything that would have never crossed my mind nothing crosses my mind actually my mind is an empty highway so anyway I do the meditation then and then

By this stage, between wriggling around in stress and then doing my listening to Tohi and then the meditation, this kind of between the jigs and the reels gets me up to about 8, 20 past 8, around that.

I'm sitting up in the bed, kind of bolt upright.

But I will actually cross my legs sometimes if I feel like following the old beaten track.

But then a lot of times I'll just let my legs just pan out straight ahead of me.

You know what I mean?

It doesn't really matter, Max, how you do it.

It's just whether or not you can kind of get yourself into a place where you can concentrate on your breath and whatever's most comfortable for you.

You're a visual creature.
