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 What Did You Do Yesterday? For the tape we've just finished recording this episode. It's a good one, in my opinion, David.
Were you to pass away, I think today's guest would be a very good replacement for you. Yeah, I think so. Because you creepily bond a lot over the course of this. We do, yeah. It's Guy Montgomery, who is a huge comedian. He's from New Zealand, born in Wellington, I think. And I met him first, maybe 10 years ago. Yeah, I met him 11 years ago. With... He did his first show with former guest Rose Mattafeo. He got early into podcasting with a series of podcasts that he still does with Tim Batt called The Worst Idea of All Time.
How does Guy Montgomery describe his morning routine?
We discussed this a little in the app. This will give you an idea. This is such a vibe. He has a podcast called Till Death Us Do Blart, where every year on the same day, Thanksgiving, I think, they watch Paul Blart, Mal Cop. Yeah. the movie and record a podcast immediately afterwards once a year and if one of them dies in the terms of it is they will be replaced by someone else such that till death us do blart will never ever end he is the host of one of my favourite television programmes, which is called Guy Montgomery's Guymon Spelling Bee, which started in New Zealand and got huge, and now they're making episodes of it in Australia. It's one of those shows where I don't know why it's not everywhere around the world, because it's clearly not that expensive to make, and it's just a blummin' spelling competition.
I think he's a wonder. I love his stand-up. The new series of his spelling show, starting in Australia now where he's on tour. It's great to have him with us today.
It is. Three people together who've all cracked Australia.
Like the Bee Gees. Are you talking about the Bee Gees?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In many ways, me, you and Guy could be the next Bee Gees, couldn't we? Anyway, here is what Guy Montgomery did yesterday.
Guy Montgomery, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
Oh, thank you, Max. And might I say, welcome to you.
Welcome to you, David O'Doherty, too. Welcome to all of us.
The trickiest part of organizing this, because this was one of my bookings, one of the very few, let's be real, as Guy is in Sydney at the moment, you're in Melbourne. So there was quite a lot of faffing as to a time, I'm in Dublin, as to when we could all be on this. But I use the term... I mean, this is going to reflect quite poorly on him. But in organising this, I said, it'll be 10.30 GMT, which is time in Ireland and Greenwich, for example. But he thought I meant Guy Montgomery time for GMT. That is an extraordinary... It has its own abbreviation.
Well, in my defense, I did have a joke last year where I talked about sort of reappropriating GMT to be more reflective. Because, you know, around this part of the world, Greenwich is meaningless to us. And, you know, I'm making an imprint down here, David. And secondably, I'd like to say as the host, the producer, the booker, very often if you are reaching out to a podcast guest across oceans and time zones, You will do the math. You will offer not just the time zone it works for you, but the hypothetical time zone that might function for the guest.
