What cheese scandal is David addressing?
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 Max 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, an exciting, well, a nervous episode, David, because it is the episode after the episode before, isn't it? Oh my God.
I know. I would call them faceless cowards, Max, but I know their names.
How do listener emails contribute to the episode?
Their names are there. And their faces. And their faces are there. They're faithful, brave people who have been, to the listeners who missed the last episode, Well, to listeners who've missed the last 20 or so episodes, we've been trying to guess the five O'Doherty family Christmas cheeses for all of this year. As we do every year. As we will every year going forward. I coined the phrase, they're just normal cheeses. And then it was revealed in a supermarket last week that one of them is not a normal cheese. Yeah.
They're not just normal cheeses. They're mostly normal cheeses. Yeah. Ian says, this is the worst thing someone in the public eye has ever done. No exceptions.
What is the significance of the O'Doherty family Christmas cheeses?
No exceptions. No exceptions. Really?
No exceptions.
Normal cheese is my ass. May your cheddar always be mild, says Ian. Dan says, Curdle, what did you fondue yesterday? Brie or no Brie? Now a PR disaster. Competition integrity in question. If Big Brother has taught us anything, it'll get picked up again numerous times by Channel 5. Yes. Not sure who this one was from. I think it was sent to you, but I didn't get the name. So my apologies.
What are the controversies surrounding normal cheeses?
It says the start of this episode gave me such a fright. I was anxiously listening, hoping DOD wasn't to let Max and his boring enthusiasm loose on the world alone. But then it was far, far worse. The lies, the deceit.
Shall I continue? Hang on, let's just focus in on you on your own doing this. So, I mean, people were, because we did, I read an apology, but you didn't know what I was apologizing for until midway through it. So it did cross many listeners' minds that I was about to leave. Yeah. In which case, do you think you would have just sailed the ship alone?
What I've done, I would have just got someone else in and not mentioned it. I think that's what you'd have to do if you left I'm trying to think of any Irish broadcasters I know come to mind but I would have just found somebody maybe not even Irish just found somebody else maybe someone called David that would help I would have found another David and then I could just say how are you David and we completely who would it have been
Well, maybe your three-year-old son, he could have just filled in temporarily. You know what I mean?
That's true.
How does Max feel about his day as a parent?
Done some of his riffs on tractors. Maybe Letterman. I'd have gone to Letterman. I wouldn't have referenced at all that it was David Letterman. No. Just be like, how are you, David? And people will be like, this is strange. It's like Piers Brosnan doing that accent. It's not, it doesn't sound like David O'Doherty, but we'll go with it.
Roy says... Hang on, hang on. Listeners, if I had gone, who's your favourite David to replace me? Oh, that's a good question. You know, Dimbleby.
Dimbleby would be good, eh? What about Dimbers?
What challenges does Max face while playing football?
Is he still around? I hope so. I hope so. Tenant. We can't animate David Dimbleby, can we? Some strings and wires. David Nalbandian, former Argentinian winner of the...
French Open movie?
