What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Podcasts, there are millions of them.
Some might say too many.
I have one already.
I don't have any, because there are enough.
Politics, business, sport, you name it, there's a podcast about it, and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day.
But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Too afraid of being censored by the man? No.
How did James Acaster start his day yesterday?
Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters.
We try and say it at the same time, Max.
What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guests got up to yesterday. Nothing more.
Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life?
Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushton. And I'm David O'Doherty. Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello, welcome to episode 10. We're now basically part of the establishment, David O'Doherty, aren't we? We're now, we're the liberal elites now, aren't we? The rest is yesterday.
What amusing stories does James share about his cats?
That's what they call us. I think so. I'm amazed the rest is yesterday. They haven't come in for a massive bid for this episode. Podcast. I'll be honest with you. I wouldn't take six figures from the Rest is crew. I think they would curtail our, you know, they would stifle us. But seven figures, I'd give it Lineker. Is he the Rest is? I'd give it all Lineker.
I mean, I haven't checked the emails, but I would imagine there's a lot of offers in. But we're not taking any money, no way, because we do this for the love of it, and we're going to do it for the rest of our lives. Yeah, we're pure.
Do you want some feedback? No. Oh, okay. Okay, go on. Okay, good. Jonathan in Brooklyn says, hello. Here's what I was doing at the exact moment David wondered what all the listeners were doing. Because you did ask, what are you doing? Yeah. I was on a city bike, public rental bikes in New York City on my way to return some clothes at J. Crew in Battery Park City, Manhattan. It was very meta since Jen Brister was telling her story about cycling to town to return shoes. We're all just doing the same thing, says Jonathan in Brooklyn.
He's right. Yeah. Very American, though. He was eating a hot dog as well and holding, instead of gloves, two baseball catcher's mitts, I should wonder.
What was the highlight of James's recent tour?
Actually, they're not public rental bikes. They are public rental rodeo bulls. It's really hard to get them back in the slots, isn't it? What's really annoying is if you're on your rented rodeo bull and then you get to one that's full, so then you have to rodeo around Manhattan trying to find an empty slot to stick in your rodeo bull. True.
with six clowns dancing around you to distract it so you could click it back in wow brooklyn that's amazing most of my feedback is reflected directly from you max as you know yeah but like i don't respond to them but just know that i think about them uh max you're a grade one tosser Where did this come from? This was one on Twitter because we're both tagged in the release of the podcast.
Yeah.
But I mean, all I would say to that is in piano, there's eight grades. Yeah, you're right. Grade one is actually the gentlest grade of tosser to be.
In many ways, grade one, you're not even really able to toss. Yeah. Oh, that's very sweet, whoever said that. What's most interesting was because I believe, and I'm not totally sure of this, but my understanding is that the Jen Brister episode was late because of the number of people. It's a bit like trying to buy Oasis tickets. The number of people trying to download our podcast is so extreme that the internet broke. But interestingly, a lot of people were like, where is it? Was it on a Sunday morning? People wanted to know where it was. Yeah. Which is, I think, a good sign, isn't it?
Yeah. It was three hours late, I think, and we had apparently derailed a lot of people's Sunday mornings, even though we've only existed now for nine weeks because this is episode 10. Doesn't it feel like longer?
I mean, I'm enjoying it.
