Max Rushden 0:02
. . . . . . 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?
Russell Howard 0:38

Max Rushden 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.

Russell Howard 0:45
Day before yesterday, Max?
Max Rushden 0:46
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 today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton. He is David O'Doherty. And today, David, someone that I have been gigging with for the past two... Oh, God.
Russell Howard 1:14
The 1999 Channel 4 So You Think You're Funny Newcomer Comedy Final... involved quite a few guests that we have had. It was me and Josie Long were in it. Andy Zaltzman was in it, who's going to come on this one soon.

What challenges does Russell face as a parent?

Russell Howard 1:31
Jimmy Carr was in it. And today's guest, Russell Howard. Russell Howard. Yeah. Who really got massive today. Got massive around like we were all did Edinburgh every year and then has had tremendous success touring the world. And when he does a world tour, it's an actual world tour. His brand new stand up show is called Don't Tell the Algorithm and tours across the UK and Ireland from the 22nd of January to the 29th of November. including six dates at the Palladium. Whoa. And Russell Howard's Five Brilliant Things podcast episodes are released weekly on Wednesdays through all the podcast platforms. Check out the episode where the guest is David O'Doherty. Oh, yeah. If it in fact tallies with me and Max's favorite things to do with each letter of the alphabet.
Max Rushden 2:28
That's what I was going to say.

How does Russell's family dynamic influence his day?

Max Rushden 2:29
I don't want to accuse Russell Howard of plagiarism. But Five Brilliant Things, you know, is about things that you love.
Yeah.
Max Rushden 2:37
That does sound a lot like the 80s set of things you like. And he may say that he has been doing that podcast a lot longer than we have been doing the 80s set of things we like. But I still think it's an issue. But I didn't want to bring it up with him at the time.
Russell Howard 2:52
Legally, I think what really undermines your argument is the fact that I did his one over a year ago, which is over a year before we started doing our, not version of it. Sure.
Max Rushden 3:07
Some people could say it's an open shop case, but I'm not convinced. No, I really like this day. I will say I don't want to give up too much away, but there is too much coffee. But it's the most family day ever. Yeah, it's lovely. We've had so far.

What was the significance of Russell's breakfast outing?

Max Rushden 3:23
Yeah. And it sounds like some family. That's what I would say. Yes.
Russell Howard 3:27
And the fact that this comes out on a Sunday and then Russell's Sunday or day is a Sunday, people will be able to compare their Sunday along with it. Or recreate it. Yeah. To go to bath. We won't say anything else. This is what Russell Howard did yesterday.
David O'Doherty 3:57
Russell Howard, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello, everybody. Dave, we've met many, many times. Max, have we met?
Max Rushden 4:05
Well, did you come on Soccer AM during the glory years?

How does Russell describe his son's personality?

Max Rushden 4:08
I didn't. 08 to 15? Never. No.
Russell Howard 4:11
Let me just tell you what happened. What happened? Last February, because I looked this up, Max was in his local cafe in Melbourne and this guy came in. Max was like, who the hell is that? That's Russell Howard. Oh, wow. And you both locked eyes like across. And I was like, you should have said hello to him because, you know, he's good for a chat. And there's many things you could talk about, even if you didn't know each other. And you both sat there. I'm going to imagine in an empty like coffee shop, just staring off in the same booth.

What are Russell Howard's thoughts on parenting?

Russell Howard 4:46
Yeah. Like Pacino and De Niro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I am really having a go at him. You should have just said hello to him. I mean, come on. What's life about if not just, you know, talking to strangers? And at the very end of the podcast, well, let's check if he's in Melbourne. And maybe he had a gig there that night. Maybe I could organize a ticket for you, Max, to go and see him if he's on tomorrow night. You were in Bergen in Norway. It was a completely different world.
