What is the significance of yesterday's experiences?
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?
Just really quickly, I think, are you able to turn your headphones down very slightly, Max? Just because I'm getting a bit... One, two, three, that's even louder. One, two, three, four. How's that? One, two, three, four. Is that better? David, could you say something so I can hear it on Max's headphones?
Max, what the hell are you doing? You look like a sci-fi alien from the 1940s with those headphones.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Say, say I couldn't do improv?
What about that? Right. That's fine. Thank you. Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I hope they keep that in because that was a little bit of behind the curtain. What did you do yesterday? This is midweek mayhem. As introduced by me, it just feels more natural.
How does Max's anecdote challenge the podcast format?
David O'Doherty is over there. Welcome, David. Hello, Lord Percy of Dingbats. Already. Another one of his characters. Did you see that? What did you do yesterday? Instagram account. It popped out the Lord Percy of Dingbat, David Squires. And so I sent it to Cariad, who I don't know at all. We established she sent a heart emoji back. So that was good. Yeah. That's not my way of trying to get into ostentatious. Yeah. Just thought she'd like to see it. So lots of people have been in touch about Justin Morehouse's day. I mean, it went down very well, didn't it? Stuart says, this is your Ulysses, your Moby Dick, your Mona Lisa, your Sergeant Pepper, a hall of famer, one for the ages. Simon says, fucking hell, this had uncut gems level of stress.
It's a brilliant reference, isn't it? Because at the end of that film, you're just like, you're on edge. It was like, I didn't think I had any psychological problems. But at the end of Uncut Gems, I thought maybe it's given me some.
There was a few key elements to Morehouse. The fact that he's a vegan trying to get bacon. at six in the morning, like the dim half light of the half open Tesco or wherever he's going. And then the rising panic of traffic of rush hour is about to come. And then the other element where he's driving through rush hour in just a little French van. So if we had shot this, I think as a piece of drama, You know, there'd be sounds of cars beeping every time he showed the traffic and then it would just cut to gentle accordion music while he's sitting in the, like it's even smaller than a two CV.
That is actually, once we make billions out of this, David, that's such a great idea that we take each episode. And we cast the person in it. And then we release it as a dad. Justin Morehouse having to act being in that van, doing exactly what he did yesterday. Liam says, that Morehouse episode is mad. I felt tired listening to it. And I was decorating for nine hours yesterday. I feel I should send him some Huel bars. I'm not really sure what's in a Huel bar. But, you know, we're the only podcast currently not sponsored by them. So I, for one, have them for breakfast.
Another Huel. I've had six Huel's already.
The Munt says, like Max, an expat living in Melbourne, listening into Justin describing the coffee van.
What interesting feedback did listeners provide?
Sounds familiar. A bit of Googling later. Thought I recognized it. Yeah, it's at the end of my brother's street.
I mean, this is similar to the people who saw Adam Buxton running along the train platform.
