What is the main question the podcast aims 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? Hello and welcome to episode 17 of What Did You Do Yesterday? David O'Doherty, welcome.
That's my lucky number. 17. Great.
It's a great year. Do you want some feedback? No, let's talk about 17 some more. This is big though.
How did Marcus Brigstocke spend his yesterday?
This is from Rob. who says, Dear Max and David, hello from Rob, Steph, and our new addition, Finlay from West Sussex, long-time listeners, first-time emailers. We wanted to show our gratitude to you and promote to others the scientifically proven benefits of listening to the What Did You Do Yesterday pod while in labour. Wow. Yeah, I know. After being in hospital for 20 hours, listening to a frankly despicable mix of US sadcore pop and the latest nonsense chart hits with no sleep and an excruciating pain, I'd had enough. I snatched the control of our portable speaker from the wife and put on the only thing I could think that might boost her oxytocin levels through the roof. Listening to Max recount his knowledge of the East Coast mainline railway stations while quizzing Ed Gamble about his train journey home from Newcastle.
Within mere minutes, bracket six to seven hours, the plan worked and our son Finlay was welcomed into the world with an expression that can only be explained by the knowledge he had spent the previous hour sickened by the fact that David had tried to manipulate the content of the pod and even suggested Ed Gamble commit a homicide. He really is increasingly desperate to get those three-star reviews into fours. Thanks for the laughs. Keep up the good work. And to clarify, there is absolutely zero scientific proof that listening to this podcast shortens labor times in case you need this disclaimer for any future legal issues. Rob Hinchcliffe.
We've had our first baby, David. Congratulations to us and to all of the listeners. It's your baby, really, listeners. Yeah.
And the thing is, like that does, we've got to think of ways to increase the audience. And it's gone up by one because of young Finlay.
You do wonder, you know, the thing of like, I know people with kind of hippie parents. And so they had a specific song playing as the baby came into the world. You know, The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel.
Exactly. Tub Thumping, Chumbawamba, that kind of thing.
Imagine if, yeah, so what happens towards the end of that? Oh, it's him and his partner are just scrolling through TikTok. Welcome to the world, Finlay. It's an endless place of possibility. Ed Gamble's having another shit.
On a similar note, you know, because normally the feedback is pretty light, but this is, I would say, as big as a birth. Big Steve says, Chez David et Max. I brought my daughter to Paris to celebrate her 15th birthday last weekend. We explored far and wide, taking in the famous Bon Marché animated Christmas windows along the way. This year, the theme was dancing crustaceans to a Parisian backdrop. My daughter's face lit up with delight and festive joy. I, however, had listened to the Josie Long episode and could only see David's boiled lobster-coloured nutsack dancing around the office. Or as I call them, your ice caps.
Yeah, it's affected bathing for me. You know the way people are talking about this podcast affecting their, when they think back on their yesterdays and what they're going to do when they reflect on it tomorrow.
