What did David 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? Hello, welcome to Midweek Mayhem of What Did You Do Yesterday? David O'Doherty is over there. I'm Max Rushton. Hi, David. Midweek Mayhem. Mayhem. Which is how the Beastie Boys or Chris Cross would have done it, of course.
What I'm intrigued by, occasionally we get a glimpse... Into your broadcasting career, roving reporter for Vanessa Feltz, BBC, Cambridge, Shire, etc. Did you ever go full commercial? Were you ever max it with the money in the mix, playing nonstop 10 hits ad for free? Like that sort of thing.
Do you know what? It's interesting you say that. No, but there is, and I was going to come to this later, I wasn't going to start with this two-star review of the podcast, but since you brought it up, Tasmina27 says, the headline is, had so much potential for that. Such a great idea. But Max Rushton, question mark, who I guess, and this is exactly why I bring it up, who I guess has been classically trained in radio, whatever that is, insists on treating podcasts like filler content between songs. Every time the discussion gets interesting, he derails it. I think the first episode he says he doesn't think any other podcasts are good and his disdain for the medium shows.
How do listener emails shape the podcast content?
She thinks I went to the Bruno Brooks radio school to go... Coming up, all the hits from the 70s, 80s and best of today. Right now, it's Sade. How are you doing out there? No, I never did that.
I've thought a lot about you talked about a few weeks ago, listening to commercial radio. I think it was, what would you bring to the beach?
Yeah. And it was, and it was just the fact that he was absentmindedly went, oh yeah, he clearly thought about it and thought, oh, I've got a good thing. I've just been thinking, you know, you know, I like going to the beach. What do you take? You're in Melbourne, like everyone's got a bucket and spade in the back of the car, for goodness sake. Have you been really listening? Because once you start listening, like, really, really intently to, like, commercial radio after the breakfast show, you realise that it's just people who aren't allowed to do the breakfast show, who have to keep saying, how funny were Woofie and Jezza this morning? Aren't they the best?
You're like, oh, killing them inside. I text in, what do I bring to the beach? Like, really sinister stuff. A tarpaulin, some quicklime, a shovel.
LAUGHTER
It's not a body. It's a dead dog.
And the corpse of my mother-in-law. This is the lighthouse family.
Cause we are going to be.
Hey, big news, everyone. We're award winning. We've won an award, David. Stop it. We won the comedy podcast devotees world cup grand final. We saw off Ruha Lustepa, Richard Herring's comedy vehicle. Ellis and John need to get Robins on, don't we? Wow. And Herring, actually. And Herring, yes. Jamie would love Richard, loves Richard Herring. So we can gloat. We'll have the trophies. Yeah, we'll be there going, what have you won? Show us your medals, Herring. And the Glue Factory podcast, which I think Pia Novelli is on, unless I'm mistaken. Right. So, yeah, thanks for all our votes. Do we win? We win. It's interesting. The prize is 17 million pounds. A beachfront house each in Malibu. And we now are to move next door to each other and both live in Malibu in enormous, quite vulgar mock Greek temples.
