What did Max do yesterday?
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? Here we go, everybody. Season two. I don't know what it's midday, midday, midweek. Almost tempted David to start again.
I just, I really thought just from the pre-chart that you were really going to hit us. I was going to be like, I'm in the presence of a great broadcaster. Welcome to what did you do yesterday? A midweek show, everyone.
Yeah. No, because quite often, like the start of anything, you just, you fumble a word and go, let's start again. But like, this podcast to me is so honest, David, because a lot of broadcasting is not honest. This one is so honest that I want it to stay in. And that is how limply I began this episode. Hey, do you want some stats on the Tom Rosenthal episode from producer Miles Barr?
Well, I'll just give a tiny bit of background. I mean, would you say there are some ultras that have now moved away from listening to the actual What Did You Do Yesterdays and just listen to this, the one where we discuss basically what happened and what's happened in our lives?
I mean, I hope so. But I sort of feel if you're not listening to the actual episodes, like you're missing something. But, you know, it's a possibility.
If you haven't listened to the Tom Rosenthal episode, it comes with a downloadable. I said it was a 20-page PDF. And one of our listeners picked me up. You're underselling it. It's a 23-page PDF where he chronicles everything. He seemed to be saying he didn't trust himself that it was going to be interesting enough. if he didn't write down a lot of information. And it's now been downloaded how many times?
1,972 people have the time in the current state of the world to download a PDF of Tom Rosenthal's day. That gives me so much joy. Zelensky's downloaded it. He's actually downloaded it a bunch of times. He can't get a print to it that works. He was trying to hand it out to the people in the Oval Office, wasn't he? And that's why they got annoyed because they were like, we've got serious things to do.
What new timepiece did Ian Rushden get?
My takeaway from it, because they did go back and read the PDF then afterwards. Mm-hmm. And I, in a way, hoped that I wouldn't ever have to confront this. It was when I mixed up the name of his dog and his daughter.
And the worming bills.
And I thought he just dewormed his 17-day-old daughter.
But do you know what? Like, if I hadn't had kids and someone said, 17 days in, you have to deworm them, I'd have gone, fair enough. I had worms once. I went to Zanzibar and I got worms in my feet. And when I came back, I had all these trails going up my feet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was sort of quite, yeah, there was something quite mesmerizing about them. They were frightfully itchy. And I went to the doctor and then they went, I'll go to the, you know, go to the, you know, the tropical disease place. It was such an, it was such a perfect illustration of worms that the doctor called all the doctors. So literally like thousands of student doctors and they took photos of my feet. That is disgusting.
That's a nightmare. That is an absolute... Certain things I thought would play a bigger role in my life when I was younger. And one of them was, certainly in my late teens, there was a lot of chat about never pee into a river.
