What is the main topic of the podcast episode with Rob Beckett?

Max Rushton 0:02
Podcasts, there are millions of them.
David O'Doherty 0:08
Some might say too many. I have one already. I don't have any, because there are enough.
Max Rushton 0:14
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.
David O'Doherty 0:20
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.
Max Rushton 0:30
Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters.
David O'Doherty 0:35
We try and say it at the same time, Max.
Max Rushton 0:37
What did you do yesterday?
David O'Doherty 0:37
What did you do yesterday?
Max Rushton 0:38
What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guests got up to yesterday. Nothing more.
David O'Doherty 0:45
Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life?
Max Rushton 0:49
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, we don't know, we're still in series two, and it's Rob Beckett today, David. Welcome, David. Hello.
David O'Doherty 1:09
You've never known what episode it is, and yet you begin every episode by announcing what episode it is, or saying you don't know what episode it is.
Max Rushton 1:19
Are you suggesting I should just, I don't need to refer to the fact, because it says it on the little pod app, it says season two episode, so I don't need to say it.
David O'Doherty 1:27
Email us if you know what episode this is, right?
Max Rushton 1:30
Yeah, or if you care. I don't think people care. So yeah, Rob Beckett coming up. Can't wait to speak. We're just about to speak to him, David, aren't we?
David O'Doherty 1:39
You did Parenting Hell. Yeah. I feel there's a sort of contra podcast vibe to this, where you went on that and talked about what a nightmare it was bringing children on long haul flights. Yeah, yeah. And now he's going to come on ours. And I don't know, what's he going to talk about? Well, look, for the tape, we have just done it.
Max Rushton 2:03
And it's a really good day.

How does Rob Beckett describe his busy day yesterday?

Max Rushton 2:04
I'd say it's the busiest day we've had so far. Can I also say that it's now 10.15 p.m. in my shed in Australia. And I think I left the door open of the shed for a bit of the day. There are so many tiny insects just crawling around the big light that lights me up. But I didn't refer to them during the episode because it wasn't relevant. Rob knows what he's doing, doesn't he? He's done everything. He's doing a world tour. He's on every TV show.
David O'Doherty 2:31
He's not on every TV show.
Max Rushton 2:32
Is he not on everyone? Okay, no, you're right. He didn't do Going for Gold, and he wasn't ever on Watchdog. It's true, but apart from that.
David O'Doherty 2:38
Rest in peace, Henry Curley. Yeah, rest in peace, Henry Curley. He's just so Rob Beckett. on everything he's ever done that's why it's great to have him rob beckoning away on our podcast his tour he'll be touring the world for the next year i think something like that yeah so if you are in the world
Max Rushton 3:00
have a Google and find out the nearest place to go.
David O'Doherty 3:03
This is the sort of stuff we say if we're not handed a sheet with things to say. My co-host says something like, if you're in the world, Google him and find out where he is in the world. He's a lovely man. And this is what he did yesterday.
Max Rushton 3:27
Rob Beckett, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
Rob Beckett 3:30
Thanks, mate. That's so official. We were having a little chat before and then you went into pure presenter mode. Yeah, happy to be here.
David O'Doherty 3:36
It's the thing about this guy. This guy just has presenting in his bones. He can present the shit. If you were a cop and you pulled him over, he'd start presenting as he did the drunk driving test. He'd pass. I mean, you could announce the death of a royal.
Rob Beckett 3:52
Me and David couldn't do that. Yeah. You've got that in the locker. Yeah.
Max Rushton 3:56
Yeah, yeah. If I walk down the street with Jamie, you know, and she's just there thinking, walking to the cafe, and I'm walking down the street going, it's houses like these. And she's just like, can you just give it a rest, Max? And I'm just doing the news. I can't help it. Yeah. That's great. This is not about me and my broadcasting abilities. This is about what happened to you yesterday. Yes. And it begins with this very simple question.
