What is the unique premise of the podcast 'What Did You Do Yesterday?'
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? What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello, and welcome to today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton, and over there is David O'Doherty.
Hello, everyone from Ireland. And today we travel not that far from Ireland. Correct. To Wales.
Yeah, to Wales. The guest today is Mike Bubbins, a Max booking. Yeah. My fourth ever, maybe, fourth or fifth guest. If we're including Ellis, then it's maybe fifth. And he obviously knows Ellis very well. You may know him from the brilliant Socially Distant Sports Bar, which is a great podcast. He's got a new podcast called Any Given Wednesday about the NFL, which we talk about a bit. He's got a second series of his sitcom Mammoth out on the BBC.
Yeah, what a beautiful idea for a sitcom. Yeah. The guy who writes the theme tune. God, that was a good bit, wasn't it?
Wow.
It's amazing. I guess in these intros, we shouldn't just talk about bits that we liked from it. It's probably quite annoying. But there is a very good bit about a theme tune coming up in this. I like all the bits.
There's nobody's fast forwarding this podcast, are they? I can understand with a football one if it's a game that you haven't enjoyed or your team's lost. But this, to get the whole arc of the day, you have to get the whole arc of the day.
I wouldn't be surprised if some people fast forward through this bit. I think so.
Podcasts, there are millions of them. Shut up. I know this bit. This bit's totally pointless, right? Let's just get on to what Mike Bubbins did yesterday. Here it is.
Mike Bubbins, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Thank you very much. How are you, Max? How are you doing? I'm very good. I'm very excited to have you. Good, good. I'm interested to know, I wonder if, because you knew a week ago that you were going to do this, whether your day, because some people I think might think, okay, I'm just going to have a totally normal day. Or some people might go, I flew to Bulawayo. There's a tiny part of me that thinks at the start of the day, you might have considered that.
It's interesting that you say that, Max, because behind Mike is just a darkness that to me says maybe it's a window, maybe he's somewhere in Africa and it's the middle of the night.
It's actually in my spare bedroom slash podcast studio for tax purposes, which I've been told if I turn the light off in the room and use the light I've just bought here, it'll be good for my skin tone. Yeah, it is really good. I mean, the proof's in the pudding, look at it. Yeah.
What time did you wake up yesterday, Mike?
Oh, yesterday? I always get up around sort of 6.30. And is that natural? That's my natural. I'm up and awake at 6.30.
Max, just note that Mike said, what, yesterday there? Like he had no idea what this podcast was.
This is the one about parenting, isn't it? Steph, Al, you look different.
LAUGHTER
It's a natural wake? Is it an alarm or just a natural, the bubbins body?
Yeah, bubbins body clock gets up. And it doesn't really matter what time I go to sleep, which is annoying for my wife. So if I go to bed at one, I get up at sort of 6.30. If I go to bed at 10.30, I get up at 6.30. Yeah. I blame my dad. I think when I was a kid, my dad was one of those sort of 70s and 80s dads who thought that if you stayed in bed, there was something morally wrong with you.
