What did David Baddiel do yesterday?

Max Rushden 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 Rushden 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 Rushden 0:30
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?

How does David Baddiel feel about the current podcast landscape?

Max Rushden 0:37
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.
David O'Doherty 0:45
Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life?
Max Rushden 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 What Did You Do Yesterday? My name is Max Rushton. Alongside me, David O'Doherty. Hello, David. Lovely little app coming up today, Max. Might be an all-timer.
David O'Doherty 1:10
It might be an all-timer. We get to it eventually. We have just recorded, listeners. It's the hottest day in the history of London or in the history of May in London? In the history of May in London. It's the hottest day.
Max Rushden 1:22
Yeah. Yeah, that is important.
David O'Doherty 1:23
We join David Baddiel. It's a bank holiday. I mean, there's not much else that needs to be said, but it's such a nice day of leisure.
Max Rushden 1:32
Well, I mean, it's an attempted nice day of leisure. Yeah.

What humorous anecdotes does David share about his day?

Max Rushden 1:38
It's a better way of putting it.
David O'Doherty 1:39
His beautiful brain utterly undermines his attempt to have a nice, relaxing day. David Baddiel, you will know him from one or more of the many things that he does.
Max Rushden 1:53
Mary Weiss Experience, Fantasy Football League, which was, I loved that TV show so much. They did with Frank Skinner. He's got a podcast out, a football, I'm not really into football podcasts, but...
David O'Doherty 2:03
It's a radio show. I think it's on Radio 4. And BBC Sounds. It's available as a podcast on BBC Sounds. It's called 60 Years of Hurt. And it looks at the English identity through the football team. We even get in an episode of that today while he's trapped in a confined space. That's all I'll say.
Max Rushden 2:24
Listen to that podcast and any other football podcast you like. This is what David Baddiel did yesterday.
Max Rushden 2:41
David Baddiel, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hi, Max. How are you? Very good. And I was thinking about this. Fantasy Football League, if that hadn't have existed, then Soccer AM wouldn't exist. And without Soccer AM existing, I wouldn't have had the working seasons where I wouldn't have met my wife, and I wouldn't have moved here, and I wouldn't have started this podcast with David O'Doherty. So with all that in mind, I suppose I'd like to know what time you woke up yesterday morning, David. Yeah.
David Baddiel 3:11
Well, I've now become a kind of god in your life. It's a weird god because basically what I provided for you was your career, the country you moved to, and a podcast with David O'Doherty. If I was the god of your life, that seems an odd third one to go for. I will give this man his love, his job, and sitting around with David O'Doherty asking people what they did yesterday.
Max Rushden 3:35
I'm not saying it's the greatest bit of my life right now, but I do really enjoy this little oasis in my chair. Yes, David.
David O'Doherty 3:41
If they failed to collect the green bin and it really stinks and loads of flies come into your house, is your first thought fucking David Baddiel? Yeah. If he hadn't done that show, I wouldn't have moved here and been in this. You know, it's never ending. Yeah. I never say thank God for that.
Max Rushden 3:56
I say thank David Baddiel for that, is what I say.
David Baddiel 3:59
Can I just point out the green bin is the recycling bin. That's not going to stink. That's just got wood and paper and cardboard in it. Well, the green for me is garden waste, and the yellow is recycling. Oh, I've made such a fool of myself. You have already. You idiot. What an idiot. You know what I did yesterday? I put out the bins. I actually did do that yesterday. Clearly, I did it all wrong.
