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. It is a What Did You Do Yesterday production hosted by Max Rushton and David O'Doherty. Welcome, David. And listening from downstairs is Max's neighbour, Sylvia.
How does David feel about performing at the Edinburgh Fringe?
And Sylvia, of course. Although I'm two floors above Sylvia and 10.13am time of recording. No messages since the last one saying, blessed day to you. May all your dreams come true. And could you also shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
Now I've been checking, David. There are still a few seats in the upper circle. I know it's two miles away from where we'll be. It'll be like being at the darts, being like in the back row of Wembley, a top tier, watching a fight. But you'll still be in the room. HackneyEmpire.co.uk. Scroll down to what's on 10th of September. Don't accidentally book another show. Not many tickets left, David. We should come up with some ideas for the show that you don't think are completely ridiculous.
I have some good ideas, certainly. Okay, good. I mean, it's just... Do we need another one of Max's ideas, which is essentially an early music medieval version of Dancing in the Moonlight, where we hire an orchestra of people who play early stringed instruments?
Are there enough lutes in East London? That's what I need to know. I can't actually find my clarinet. I'm going to have to go back to my flat. But it's probably underneath a lot of pieces of paper about my mortgage that I don't really need, but I just don't know where they are. do you want some feedback david yes i live for the feedback we begin with emma doran's breakfast where else could we be Namath Mukila says, I often have the misfortune of listening to the most unappetizing bits of this podcast while I'm eating breakfast. Never, and I mean not even the Nish episode never, has this choice been more regrettable than listening to Emma describe her high-performance tuna eggy breakfast. Stick emoji, crying with laughter emoji.
It was.
What bike-related activities did David engage in?
To salvage a day from there is something else, I think.
Imagine how you'd feel after that breakfast, though. You might feel incredible. I don't think it was sitting on bread either. You got red onion. You've got some sort of egg thing. I mean, tuna. I don't necessarily love a tin of tuna. No. Even when you get the one that says no drain. I don't like a thing that doesn't need to be drained or needs to be drained.
Yeah.
I mean, really, there's no point having anything else near the tuna, is it? If we're really honest, it's not like anything is going to cover. The other things are just their filler, aren't they? Their filler for the tuna. So you're beginning your day. You've got the remnants of vape juice in your mouth. And then you whack tuna egg and red onion in there. It's amazing anyone went near her, frankly, for 24 hours. But thank you, Emma, so much. This is from Brian. This is great. Hi, Max, David, and Mars Bar. I just wanted you to know that I stood on the stage at a small improv theater in Pennsylvania on Wednesday night. My scene partner started the scene with a British accent. I paused, took a deep breath, and introduced my character.
Hello, I am Lord Percy of Dingbat. Thank you forever, Max. Everything is showbiz from Brian.
