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? Hello and welcome to the What Did You Do Yesterday Christmas Special. I'm Max Rushton and David O'Doherty is here. Welcome, David.
What did you do yesterday, Max? I mean, normally we are just faffing because we know that we have this golden episode to drop, so we can really stink the place out, whereas... Well, no, this is bigger than anything we've done before, David, because...
If this episode where we don't actually have anything is successful, then we are one step closer to golden hats. I'm talking CEO money.
I know, but then I foresee we get rid of the guest and then you realize you're so comfortable just sitting in your shed talking on your own. So it becomes, what was it? Was Nightcaller the ITV show from the 80s and 90s where a sort of late night DJ would just,
waffle on you know the thing i've learned about humankind is that so i could be the next to go is what i'm saying i've had to do that job david i've had to do i've had to be the overnight guy where nobody would ring where you just would they just be like someone would just say just feel for 15 minutes you're there going it's it's 3 a.m and really what you want to do is just have the existential just have what am i what am i doing What's happened? Why am I here? But no, we've got content today. We've got email. We've got so many emails. We're doing our Christmas special. Obviously, most people, you know, it's a bit like the Hootenanny, right? Which they do in July. Most people's Christmas special comes out on Christmas Day, but they've done it in November.
But obviously, because this is What Did You Do Yesterday? We're recording on Boxing Day because yesterday was Christmas Day. And if we get through all the emails, we'll actually find out what me and David did yesterday. But we may not get there. But, like, we haven't planned it, and we were specifically told not to plan it. So I'm going to begin with some feedback, if that's all right.
Let's just state where we are. I'm in Dublin City in my basement. This is where the presents were stored until I handed them out yesterday. Wow.
I'm in my shed and it's 10 past 10 in the evening on Boxing Day because we always have to record on the same day. So if we ever did my morning, your evening, we'd be on different days and that would bring the podcast into disrepute. And we are nothing if not people of integrity. David.
So Max is in Melbourne. He's left out that small part there. So wherever you are in the world, we have you surrounded. That's how I feel about this podcast.
Got some criticism from Nicholas. Oh, no.
Is it St.
What did Max and David do on Christmas Day?
Nicholas, maybe?
It could be. It hasn't specified. Just caught up with Brigstock's What Did You Do Yesterday? It should really be called What Did You Do Last Summer? Real brand purists will be doing this pod in real time. Justify yourselves, Max and David. I wonder how many bikes DOD will need to pedal his undoubted spin.
That's fair enough. It's a fair enough observation. So certain of our guests we've got, we've got them to do it on condition that, say, they have a tour to announce or whatever. So I think because Marcus just did it out of the goodness of his heart, he was consequently maybe knocked back a little bit.
