What is the main question asked in this podcast?
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, is this nine, David? Is it episode nine? I think this might be episode 10. Is that possible? The decade.
I don't think it's the decade because it wasn't Rose the full week. This is a low energy start, but this is our worst ever start to one of these.
It's episode nine. It's episode nine. It may be the worst start, but we can't start again. That in many ways would admit defeat, a defeat that I'm not willing to accept. Our listeners, they love this podcast, unless this is the first one they're listening to. I hope you like it. And normally the way we begin is, Absolutely seamless. And so if this is the first time you've ever come to this podcast, this is not the level you should expect. Expect better than this. But in many ways, it's good to have your expectations set low. Do you want some feedback, David?
Well, let me just say it's very nice to be here, Max. I do. I just feel it would be a nice thing to say, even though we're nine hours into our, well, my podcasting career with you and your podcasting career with me, that's still something I very much look forward to.
Yeah, I'm having a nice time.
Having established a bit of niceness, you're now going to read some horrific feedback.
No, I'm not actually. And I did message you because I listened back to the Sam Campbell episode because you and producer Michael seem to look down on me on the fact that I don't want to listen to these once I've done them because I've done them. I was there. But I did listen to that, Sam. The description of the two of you talking about how you lower yourself into the bath was so funny.
How does Jen Brister describe her typical day?
Yeah.
I've got a lot of, there's a lot of bath haters out there who see it as, I think, an unnecessary decadence. They think that it doesn't really clean you as well. It's kind of gross. I was very happy to speak with another bath lover, Sam Campbell.
It's not like Marmite, love or hate it. It's just, I'm actually quite agnostic about the bath. Anyway, one interesting thing about this podcast is obviously people talk about things you think, well, that will resonate with a lot of people. And there are some things you think, well, that's mad and that won't resonate with anyone. But we got this email from Kunal who says, hi, Max and David. Sam Campbell's revelation that he sometimes gets himself to sleep by thinking about an imaginary sport struck a chord with me. What? For many years as a child, I kept mental and sometimes written records of the Football League of the Republic of Sonoma. An imaginary English-speaking European island nation. When daydreaming about the Senoan League, I would adopt the perspective of the narrator of a season highlights video.
I stopped envisaging new league seasons when I was in my teens. But well into adulthood, while trying to fall asleep, my mind sometimes wanders into attempts to remember trivia about my imagined league. Oh my goodness. This is great. For example, I try to recall the order of the penalty takers in the first and only European final that a Sanoan team has competed in when Sarsons beat Bayern Munich in the Cup Winners' Cup, in case you were wondering. Or I reminisce about various rivalries among the small provincial clubs of Northern Sonoma.
