What is the main question the podcast seeks to answer?
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.
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? Welcome to episode, I don't know what it is, David. Is it 15? 3,000. Wow. God, that's good. 3,000 and I'm yet to book a guest. And that is an issue, isn't it? So the number of comedians you know, David, it's extraordinary. And I really should pull my finger out. I have messaged two people this week. Oh, no. One of whom has said they can't do it now because they're sort of organizing their press, you know, when they're promoting stuff. And the other one who replies to me normally, within seconds has not replied. Do you want some feedback, David? No, absolutely not. Oh, no, no, this is good.
Michael in Jersey has been in touch. Hi, Max and David, big fan of the pod. So much so that I now host my own version of What Did You Do Yesterday? I manage a team of six at work, me and five others, and as a way of getting to really know the team, I've introduced a 15-minute section of What Did You Do Yesterday into our weekly Monday catch-up meetings where I randomly pick a team member and and delve into the tedious details of their previous day. It's been a huge hit with the team. And everyone now gets involved in pulling apart the tiniest details of the day in question and nothing else. Or at least I think it's been successful. Maybe I'll end up getting a three-star review of my appraisal with a comment reading middle-aged white noise management.
We have now got through the five team members. And as you know, the host should never be asked about their yesterday. So I now have the dilemma of finding some new guests.
How does Ed Gamble describe his day yesterday?
Keep up the good work. If you ever have 15 minutes, feel free to come to our mini. What did you do yesterday? I can at least guarantee the day wasn't set in Brighton. Thank you, Michael. How do we feel about becoming part of like office get alongs? You know, how do we feel about that?
I'm in favor of it only if at any point going forward, any of those employees mention anything that didn't happen yesterday. He has to shout them down really rudely.
Or they get sacked. If someone doesn't go into it, they get sacked.
Yeah, exactly. If someone tries to Osmond it, if we have a repeat of Osmond's dinner, then you're out the door, son. Clear your desk.
You did notice that I, in a Guardian column I wrote, basically asking to become the next Match of the Day host, and I'm down to 8-1 now. I did mention Osman because he was 100-1, and I talked about dinners, and I was so proud of myself. I really was. I was like, this is, nobody will understand this. Well, one person did, and I was like, excellent. So we want some feedback from the United States of America. Oh, yeah. H. Marino says, this show is weirdly great. There's some hidden magic in finding out the small ways people spend their time on Earth. Incidentally, I yelled out loud when Amy Gledhill revealed she went to sleep listening to David Mitchell's book Unruly as I did the same thing the night before.
What a rush. To be clear, I have already listened to it while awake. It's a great daytime book too. It works both ways. Great value. This is podcast gold. More please. Do you think David Mitchell, who I presume we will get on soon, because I think he'd be good.
Yeah.
Would we tell him that one guest and now one listener have listened to his audio book to go to sleep?
