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 Midweek Mayhem. What did you do yesterday, David O'Doherty? Welcome. Hello.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present. So I'm going to try in this episode just to talk in fake old distress signs from... In tea towels.
You're talking in tea towels. Yeah. If you say, you don't have to be crazy to be on this pod, but it helps.
Yeah.
Then you know we're in trouble. Andy writes, Hi, gentlemen. I feel compelled to email a podcast for the very first time in my life as I have never felt so wholly and eerily represented by a show's host and its producer. And he gives a backstory, David. I'm a 43-year-old man born and raised on the mean streets of Shanklin and the Isle of Wight until I left the island for university as I produced a Mars bar. is from the Isle of Wight. Listeners may not know this. They're going to learn a lot about producer Mars Bar today because he is crowbarring his way into our podcast. Happens to producers all the time. They want to be talent, and then they get on the mic. Big pressure on Mars Bar. Don't open the fader yet, Michael.
Anyway, in the mid-2000s, I moved to Ireland to ride the wave of the Celtic Tiger and enjoyed a few years living and working in the Grand Canal area of Dublin, my David O'Doherty years. Wow. He also says, I'm also a recovering arm under the pillow sleeper. So many good luck. Good luck with that. How is that going for you, David? You're okay with that now?
It's still not going great. I think a problem was I was hooking almost like a cockney dancer.
What interesting experiences did Mars Bar share about his day?
I was sleeping with my thumbs in my armpits. I'm with you. weird reason but i think that might have been to do with the temperature of the winter maybe an attempt with coziness so as we move into the spring now unfortunately you're in the opposite hemisphere so i'm just hoping this doesn't happen to you pass on to me you don't wind down you don't wind down by listening to chas and dave hence that puts you in the cockney dancer position
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.
My Isle of Wight tale is I once did a gig on the Isle of Wight. Okay. And the Medina is the name of the little art center. But it is also the Medina Leisure Center as well. And on the walk from the dressing room to the stage, I went the wrong way. and opened the door. So I didn't know it was the Medina Leisure Center. So I opened the door and there were just children beating each other with pool noodles. And I am standing there with my little battery powered keyboard. You said, good evening, the Isle of Wight. I said everything is showbiz.
Anyway, Andy writes, and now after emigrating three years ago, I find myself living down under with my Australian wife and two young sons. What? Truly my Max Rushton years. It's extraordinary. Given my life seems to revolve entirely around following in the footsteps of what did you do yesterday personnel, I'm emailing to ask if there are any new team members poised to join the squad so I can better prepare for the coming years ahead. Wow. Wow. He's living all of us. He's like Ripley. He's going to come and kill us all in black and white. Liam says, very pleased to hear regarding Jess Knappett.
