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?
Why are there so many podcasts and what makes this one unique?
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 What Did You Do Yesterday? Midweek Mayhem. Max? Just doesn't feel right, David. I have an issue whereby, because I'm still in Edinburgh living in a share house.
You have to talk like a snooker commentator.
Through this very thick Georgian wall is Celia A.B. And apparently, if I'm too enthusiastic during this podcast, it infiltrates her dreams and She was saying she incorporates elements of whatever we're talking about into her final fitful dreams.
Now, question. You can whisper for the whole podcast. I think that's fine. Because it will be people thinking like, you are on the green and Justin Rose has this 15-foot putt for birdie. But you can then, as the putt is, when Celia wakes up, you can then talk and go, and then it is in the hole. Have you, because I think most listeners are very keen to know the latest on her key fob situation, how much discussion has been about key fobs with Celia? Don't say none because no one will believe you.
And incredibly, I've lived with her for two weeks and she has not mentioned key fobs once. There's been zero key chat.
I'm sorry.
What interesting experiences did David have at the Edinburgh Fringe?
What a full life she must live if that is not. Because the first time I ever see her, the first time I ever meet Celere B, I will do 20 minutes on key fobs. See how it's going. She's like, oh, I thought that was just a thing for a thing.
No, no, no, no, no. She did tell me a funny thing. We're still at the Edinburgh Fringe. She may have seen the ultimate Edinburgh Fringe show last night. I mean, just get this. Especially as a French person coming to the... She's been here before. She knows what to expect. There's a show called How Much Toast... where two people are on stage and calculate, using probability and mathematics, who in the audience has eaten the most toast in their lifetime. I mean, that's a show, isn't it?
Well, I did have an idea that I approached Dave Gorman with after a Celebrity Six Aside football tournament, so he was a bit tired. It's called Life Statistics. And I guess this is not dissimilar, where I was saying it'd be really useful that you could do an experiment over a month to do all your life statistics, like how many peas you've eaten, the weight of beef you've consumed, the number of steps you walk, just everything, and then you extrapolate it over times, how much toast you eat. It would be interesting to do all of that. But obviously, every time you wake up in the night, but then you'd need somebody in your room watching you in the night. That might affect your sleep because there's like Norris McWhirter with a ticker.
In your room. Yeah. Anyway, Dave said he was quite busy on other projects. He said it in a...
How does David manage living with other comedians?
He said it in a polite way.
You had just been kicking him for the previous hour and a half and maybe he was thinking, maybe I don't want to work with this guy.
I'd be saying, he doesn't fucking want it all day, all day. I'd be saying to him, it's your shit, your shit, Gorman. Interestingly, I almost got to that very famous Tuesday comedians football game. When I say almost, I didn't because A, it wasn't on because there were too many comedians at Edinburgh and B, i'm doing too many podcasts and not enough parenting as we established on the last week mayhem so i didn't run it back can i go two hours south to play football for two hours jamie you know it was mentioned with uh alumnus ellis james and also the fact that you're is it your knee or your hip which ones make a sound like a haunted door like the portcullis in a haunted castle yeah
