What does Fern Brady do in her daily life?
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
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? Hello and welcome to today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton. Alongside me today is Irish comedian David O'Doherty.
How does Fern feel about having a cleaner?
Welcome, David.
This is not one of your bookings, Max. No, for the first time. This is for Brady, who I think I... I mean, I'm not going to say I have hassled the most to come on this. I just I know she is so perfect and her brain is so utterly perfect for this podcast. I really want her to come on. And then when I looked at the WhatsApp, the last 10 messages I've had with her, it's just been because I have done my trick a few times with her where we have no guest for tomorrow. Can you do 10 o'clock in capitals? Yes, I do say it at couples.
I think that could be a problem. I think it is disarming. That's what I'm trying with Hugh Grant. As yet, no success.
So Fern Brady, I would say one of the really great stand-up comedians of our time. People may know her from her autobiography, Strong Female Character, that as we get to in the episode, won one of the biggest awards prizes for an autobiography. She has just started a new podcast with Alison Spittel called Ignore That Feeling with Alison and Fern. Completists, if you want to listen to an old episode of What Did You Do Yesterday, Alison Spittel's episode begins in the house where we are now
Yes, and if you remember the tap chat, you'll remember the tap chat.
What challenges does Fern face with her pets?
And actually, we may be shown the tap in the episode, but we bring that to life in audio form for you.
This is what Fern Brady did yesterday.
Fern Brady, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? What Did You Do Yesterday?
Oh, hello.
Just for the listeners, Fern has just inquired as to whether there's any incriminating books behind her on the bookshelf, such as maybe a list of enemies book.
You know what I mean? I didn't know I had this. This is called Let's Preserve It. Recipes for making jams, jellies and chutneys.
The first sign of a serial killer.
I think Alison Spittel got me that at a charity shop. For Christmas.
If this was solely for an Irish audience, that would be described as the most Protestant book it is possible to own. Because they like jam? Yeah, they bloody love jam. It's one of the giveaways.
I'm so Catholic and I grew up making a ton of jam, but we didn't need a book. It was intuitive.
Did you keep your toaster in the cupboard or out on the counter?
What was Fern's experience with her recent gardening project?
Out on the counter.
Well, that's Catholic, so that balances out.
Is it?
Yeah.
My dad said that Catholics never do their gardens. Is that true?
There's never been a Catholic gardener, ever.
I'm in the middle of getting my garden done, but he used to say Catholics aren't meant to have nice gardens. Sort of rewilding, that's what they... I think it's because we spent Sundays at church and that was his excuse for not gardening after.
Well, you can always tell when Celtic play Rangers, you can tell if it's in the Celtic ground or the Rangers ground because the Rangers ground, it's all beautiful flowers around the pitch and the Celtic ground is grass for months.
It's good because we wanted to move this podcast into sectarian gardening. And so to finally be able to do that, it's great. Fern, when did you wake up yesterday morning, please?
