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.
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 one of series two. I know we've been away for a long time, David. What have you been up to?
I've just tried to really concentrate on developing myself and becoming a different person to how I was at series one. Because some of series one was pretty stupid, I think, Max, whereas what I envision series two is more like an in our time. We interviewed the finest minds and we talked about the most important things.
Yeah, what I'm feeling from series two is self-improvement. That's what I feel like what I've realized is, and it took me a while to realize this, that I really have the power to change people's lives for the better. And it was kind of bestowed upon, I didn't realize that I had that kind of sway over people. And in many ways, it's a burden. But I carry it with a lightness of touch that makes me think I can really, through these podcasts, I will make the world a better place is how I feel about it.
What did Dara Ó Briain do yesterday?
But I don't want to say that out loud.
Yeah. I am embarrassed. Like when I think of some of the stuff we would talk about in the first series of this, obviously this is the second series. It's a completely new thing. I hear a different person when I listen back to those old episodes.
Oh yeah. And what's wonderful about this first episode is, which I know some listeners would want it to stay that kind of superficial silliness, but obviously now we've realized the sort of depth that we can into people's psyche that we can get. I think this first episode with another guest book by me, Dara Brien. The way he begins the episode will make you understand exactly how we're looking for a different tone, I would say. And it might upset a few people, but, you know, we can be certain that the way he starts the podcast is... Yeah, yeah. It's an interesting observation that something has been omitted from all previous episodes, I would suggest.
Yeah, we're teachers now, and the first lesson we learn isn't necessarily the lesson we thought we were going to learn.
But if you are listening with your own children, it's something that you guys don't have to talk about between yourselves. Play the episode. Here's Dara.
Dara Brain, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Yes, it's a pleasure to be here on Wadidi, as it's known in the industry. I've listened to a few Wadidis so far, and they've always been great.
So just to be clear, Dara, in case you don't understand what happens on the podcast, we ask you what you did yesterday.
Okay, many of the questions I had about the podcast are answered by the title of the podcast.
Okay.
Yeah, sorry. Yeah, you're getting emotional already. It is one of those where... I'm tearing up. I mean, we really will delve into some of the biggest and smallest moments of yesterday.
How does Dara feel about the transition from Season 1 to Season 2?
It is interesting, though, because the call came yesterday, which is exciting in a kind of a quantum, we're playing with the observer, interrupting the actual activity kind of thing. I mean, because instantly Dave said, would you do the podcast? And you instantly go, oh no, why did I masturbate so much this morning? Yeah. and i have to go to it all i have to go to all of that with max rush that's an interesting point you make is that quite a lot of the feedback has been that there's been no discussion of masturbation because we tended not to ask that question maybe we should dara i don't know i've merely presumed when arian says i spent some time in the morning online
