What did Max do yesterday that inspired 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 today's episode of Midweek Mayhem, brought to you by the good people of What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Russian. There's David O'Doherty.
And whirring away behind me, like the last chopper out of Saigon, is Miel the cat, who's on the bed, just... This is all you hear, just very distant.
Miel, the frog. Now, for the tape, we've just had a sort of pep talk meeting, the three of us, to say, come on, lads, let's keep it tight. And David was really insistent, keep it tight, nothing less than 50. And I tell you, we'll be at 59 minutes 32, and you'll be like, interruption!
LAUGHTER
Just in our discussion of last week's episode, which I felt good about. Yeah, it was a good one. It was raised that maybe I'd gone too deeply into the inner workings of promoting jazz concerts. That's nicely specific. So I say more of that, Max.
Yeah. Well, let's begin with some feedback. Miles Biles says, this topic has blown up the inbox in a way we haven't seen since David tried to scupper the podcast with his incorrect cheese categorization torpedo. We haven't had a lot of emails.
How does feedback shape the content of the podcast?
And between you, me, and Tom Basden, we should be slightly ashamed regarding the maths involved in Brian Adams' alleged summer of 69. oh no you're gonna have to tell bastard trish hi guys i'm sure you've got many emails about this but brian adams summer of 69 refers to the sexual position not the year yeah brian adams confirmed on the early show in 2008 listening from juneau alaska while i run often laughing out loud as i trot through my neighborhood i'm sure now the neighbors refer to me as the crazy running woman i've become a sad cautionary tale for their children the jingle for their just normal countries is terrifying it sounds like a recording that someone's claimed to have made by contacting the dead so the before we chat about it uh yes this one is d-a-i-t-i who's that dahi it's david in irish david oh
Okay. Hi, Miles Barr and lads. I always thought Summer of 69 started with the lyrics, I got my first real sex dream in the summer of 69. I always found the lyrics to be a bit full on, but then thought it's Brian Adams, he can get away with it. It wasn't until many years later I was corrected by my girlfriend. She said, why didn't you just sing and call me a pervert? The relationship ended two months later. I'm not saying they're connected, but I've always disliked Adams since. So the 69, it's pretty lame then.
It's lame, isn't it? It's like the summer of boob touching or something, you know? But also like a whole summer of it?
I don't believe. No one's done that. You might be a rock star, Brian, but come on. Some days you're like, I'm just a bit tired. Can't we just watch Cheers? No, it's the summer of this.
You said. Oh, God. It could have been the summer of 96 then as well. Yeah. Or it could have just been the summer of 11 where they just lay beside each other just talking.
It's the summer of 66 just spooning. What's that one? 77.
That's 77.
Matt says he'll like this one. Hello, Defaultman3, DoD, and Marsbar. I've just listened to the Tim Key episode, and his Hugh Laurie is 30% more talented than Nigel Haver's line. Really instantly reminded me of an old colleague.
