What shocking confession does David reveal 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?
How do David and Max address the importance of their podcast?
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? Hi, everybody. Welcome to Midweek Mayhem episode, Who Knows? And who cares, frankly, because David O'Doherty is here. And David, we have to start on a very serious note.
What unusual cheese-related game do they discuss?
A note that I think will shock and probably upset a lot of the audience. Will I just read it? You've written a statement, so I guess you should, yeah. I'm reading it off the notes app on my phone to the listeners.
Yeah.
Dear What Did You Do Yesterday family, It's time for me to be honest. I have enjoyed making these podcasts very much. The many catchphrases it has spawned will stay with me forever. If it didn't happen yesterday, we don't want to know. It's a shitty box of unmade food for stupid idiots. And they're just normal cheeses. It's the final one of these that I would like to speak to now. Since Christmas, the global family of What Did You Do Yesterday listeners have been trying to guess the five cheeses I bought for the O'Doherty family Christmas dinner in a game called Curdle slash Master Ryan slash Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. In trying to guess the cheeses, I've been encouraging listeners to think inside the box.
They're just normal cheeses, Max. They're just normal cheeses. Cashel Blue, Manchego, Comte, Goat, the unguessed final cheese. Just normal cheeses. There have been learnings along the way, like when I said Chevre wasn't one of the cheeses, but then revealed that French Goat was. I will never make that mistake again.
How does David's shopping experience at Lidl unfold?
And now we reach another stop along my learning journey. This week I was cheese browsing in the supermarket, feeling a little thrill each time I spotted a cheese from our game. Cashel Blue, look at it there with this little picture of a farmhouse in Tipperary. Goat, with a little picture of a goat. Manchego, a little picture of a sheep. What the fuck? I felt the floor drop away and super value began to spin. Super value is the name of the supermarket. I had presumed that Manchego came from a flabby Spanish cow called something like Ethmeralda, happily munching wiry grass in a field in Andalusia or on the quiet side of Ibiza. It's just a normal cheese. These are just normal cheeses. Then I see this picture of a sheep.
I check my phone. Manchego. My hands are shaking. I see a picture of the sheep, maybe called Lucia, on a farm close to the Camp Nou Estadion. La Manchego es un queso de oveja. You see, our final unguessed cheese is also a sheep's cheese. And I've been waiting for someone to say sheep's cheese. And then curdle will be over, and you can give away the yellow Nissan Micro filled with cheese that's been stinking up your drive, Max.
What humorous anecdotes arise from David's mushroom adventure?
But now I learn that we already have a sheep's cheese. So we're going to need a more specific name for our final cheese. To put it in the simplest way, the final cheese is not a normal cheese. I'm sorry.
Have you... I'm sorry, Max. No, listen, we podcast as a team and we make mistakes as a team. Yeah. I think it's fair to say this mistake was more your mistake than my mistake. Yes. But when you sent me, because I didn't know what any of the cheeses were, when you sent me a picture of what the final cheese is, my instant reaction was, the one thing I know about this cheese is it is not a normal cheese.
