Chapter 2: How does Kristen Schaal start her day?
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 Ross and alongside me, David O'Doherty. Welcome, David.
Oh, I'm excited about this one now, Max. This guest is one of my oldest. So this week, we have someone that for... A good decade, I would say. Our careers were very intertwined and we hung out a lot. But she has got phenomenally successful. You have too, David. Thank you.
And she doesn't bother coming to the Edinburgh Fridge or Britain or Ireland where little bottom feeders like me are still nozzling around. Kristen Schaal. You will know her from, I guess her breakout performance was In Flight of the Conchords years ago. But since then, so many things. Last Man on Earth was amazing. Toy Story, she does loads of voices. So we cover that in the episode. We do.
BoJack Horseman, Bob's Burgers, obviously as well. And she's in Los Angeles.
Well, both of us are in Los Angeles, so it's... Really, it's a very LA show. David brings it down a bit because he's not LA like me and Kristen. Like me and Kristen are like, we are just 100% LA. We're juicing. We're doing chin-ups. And David is just, you know.
I'm eating a pasty in the rain waiting for a bus while a brass band plays in the background.
I'm in a Mustang. I'm in a soft top Mustang. I've got a cowboy hat on. I'm doing a rodeo. And there's David just bringing it down. Now she's doing Edinburgh and London. David, do you have the dates in front of you? Oh, yeah. Do I have the dates in front of me?
You were the one I was going to place her in the context of history. And you were the one who was definitely going to know why she's actually doing our podcast.
So you've got the details. I have the details. She is doing the Pleasance Courtyard in Edinburgh, 12th to the 16th of August. Wow. She's doing the London Roundhouse on the 17th of August. Shit.

Chapter 3: What activities did Kristen Schaal do yesterday?
I'm in London on the 17th, so I could open for her. No, no, no. She's found someone.
She's found someone. You and Gary Lineker are going to open for her. It's going to be awful.
Mars bars are smaller than they used to be, aren't they, guys?
So this stuff is gold. I know I bigged up her TV stuff there on her film stuff. But one of the great comic minds, utterly unique shows, one of which I once played a part in. And that comes up in the episode. Oh, my goodness. This is a good one. This is a really good one. It's a good day. This is what Kristen Schaal did yesterday.
Kristen Schaal, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday.
Thank you for having me, Max and DOD.
I thought you were just going to be silent there. I thought you were just going to do two thumbs up because we don't use the video for this. So any physical things you do will just be silence.
That's tough because like I'm using so much animation with my face and my hands. It's really impressive that you guys aren't using video. You're like smartless, like smartless is like the last holdout. And then I guess this podcast I've never heard of. Super cool.
That's it. We're the last silent movie actors. We're doing it into the 50s. Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire are dancing around and singing away. And we're still just dangling off clocks in the street.

Chapter 4: How does Kristen balance parenting and her career?
What's about to happen is we're going to ask you what time you woke up at, and then we're going to go through every single thing you did yesterday. And at some point you'll be like, this isn't entertaining for anyone. That's when it's just getting good. Yeah.
I think you are going to get a lot of new listeners once they see my name.
Yeah.
Kristen, what time did you wake up yesterday, please?
6.30 a.m.
And was that an alarm or was that your body just waking you up? Yeah. Great question.
I don't need an alarm at all.
Where does this waking up take place? In the wilds of Colorado, in the mayhem of New York City, or underneath the Hollywood sign?
It's closer to the Hollywood sign in the City of Angels.

Chapter 5: What challenges does Kristen face with her daughter's horse camp?
This is au naturel. Just the light of the Lord is just prodding you in the eyes.
No, no, it's dark in my room, but my daughter, I have to get my daughter ready for whatever it is.
Oh, yeah.
And usually at school and, you know, we kind of have to be in the car by around 745. So my husband and I are just making the lunch, the snack, the breakfast, getting her dressed, getting her going.
Yeah.
But this week, school got out last week. And this week I got her into this horse riding camp.
Whoa. Okay. Does she want to go on the horse riding camp or do you just want her not in the house?
She suggested the horse riding camp. She's campaigned for it. Her friend told her about it. She talks about it all the time. And my dad grew up on a farm and had horses. So she like is excited to tell her grandpa about the fact that she's riding horses. So I put her in her horse riding pants because she wears like shorts and skirts all the time.
And so I had to buy some latex pants last minute on Amazon.

Chapter 6: How does Kristen feel about her health appointments?
Look, to back you up, David, I've been in LA for a week now and I have seen no Jodhpur shops. There's no one. In fact, if we were to branch out, we could open one and we could make a pretty penny in this town.
Do you know how to spell Jodhpur, Max? Because I'd say Kristen does because she's had to go and look them up on the website. Do you have any idea how to spell it? Yes. Okay, start me off there. I'll give you the first one. It's a J. J-O-D.
Yeah. H. Oh, God. P-H-P-U-R-S? No, J-O-D.
There's no H? There must be an H in Jodhpur. It's P-H-U-R-S. J-O-D-P-H-U-R-S, I'm pretty sure. I didn't know I was going to be put under such pressure today. Well, you guys are in L.A. with your robot taxis just taking you places you don't want to go. I'm in Dublin, virtually surrounded by Jodhpur shops. God, I understand.
So I know how to spell it.
I want to visit you.
Chrissy, can I just check? Is literally the first thing you do is put Jodhpurs on your daughter? There's no coffee. Oh, yeah.
No, so I roll out of bed and then go downstairs and Rich is making coffee and then my cute, cute dog comes downstairs and he needs to go do a pee. Then I'm down there and we're making dog food, breakfast, Ruby breakfast, coffee. We're kind of getting it all done and then I'll go upstairs and Rich will make some more food and I'll go upstairs and then I'll wake up Ruby and be like, it's time.
It's horse time. Okay, so what's for your breakfast, please, Chris?

Chapter 7: What humorous anecdotes does Kristen share about her day?
You just said this was all getting L.A. And I'm curious what that meant, because it felt like, I don't know, a bit of an insult. Like it was bad. You know, what do you mean by that?
Why are you insulting two people from L.A.?
We're only at 630 a.m.
Because if you'd opened the day up, OK, your guru had made you do some sort of future yoga poses and then drink half a liter of green juice, you know, and I would have had to just sit here and be like, OK, what do we do next? Yeah. But instead, you basically chopped up a pig, like murdered a hen house. And now we're going to take a little lady off to sit on a horse. And I like this.
So now you're on board. OK, so you have some judgment for people who are into health and spirituality.
I think we do. Yeah, I'm going to say that.
Me too, me too.
Okay, keep going. So no one is submerged in turmeric before the day begins. It's totally fine. Okay. We wake up your daughter and now we're ready for horse camp. Yeah. I love this. Now on horse camp, all the teachers are horses. There are no human. This is the interesting thing. Yeah. My understanding of horse camp, David.
Yeah, I mean, they're the ones who know how to be ridden. So yeah, they guide them. They tell them when to get off. And they definitely say it's lunchtime.

Chapter 8: What are Kristen's thoughts on creativity and inspiration?
Yeah, when it's higher, it's a yes. And when it's lower, it's a no. It's easy.
AI is not going to replace horses. Do you know what I mean? You know, the way you think AI is going to replace everything. I think fundamentally it'll be difficult for it to rep. Now, this is coming from someone who's never sat on a horse. We've discussed this on the podcast before that in the Irish sense, I was neither rich enough nor poor enough to own a horse or sit on one.
But I can imagine what it's like. I've stood beside a cow.
Basic middle class bitch.
Yes.
Is that right? Is that right? Oh, you didn't like that I swore, Max?
No, I don't mind.
This is Max's reaction. He's like, hmm. Edit that out. Edit that out when I yelled at TOD's class.
I suppose for me, as somebody who grew up on the streets and got out of central Cambridge. I've heard this speech so many times. Go on. It's basically the projects, but in sort of East Anglia. So I understand David's privilege and it's difficult for him. Oh my God.
