What did Max do yesterday that excited him?
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 Midweek Mayhem from the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday? My name is Max Rushton and David O'Doherty is there. Hi, David. Bonjour, mon ami.
I'm on my holidays, Max.
Yeah, to a en vacances.
Yeah, that distant sound of accordions may tell you where we are. The sound of a waterfall of cheese just coming off a cliff. It's absolutely beautiful here.
Jenny says, can we rename Midweek Mayhem to, oh God, not this again, as that's what David says at various points during each of Max's yesterdays.
Stop. When do I say not this again? Is it when you go for your fourth nap walk of the day? Surely not. I feel I'm very tolerant of your endlessly repetitive days. Tolerant, I see. Yeah.
Not supportive. I was definitely thinking supportive was coming, but no.
How did a bicycle crash become a funny story?
The killer is where it's your yesterday and I've just been like skydiving or something the day before and you've been, you know, trying to fix a skybox for six hours. Sorry.
This is from Hansi. This is lovely. Dear Max, David and Marsbar, during the COVID years, my partner Laura, a What Did You Do Yesterday ultra, and I lived on the outskirts of Dublin City next to the Phoenix Park. On our walks through the park, we would often spot comedian David O'Doherty cycling around. Ha ha! We saw him there so often, in fact, that we began referring to it between ourselves as O'Doherty's Hill. I always imagined he was up there concocting some killer jokes for his next show or possibly a new concept for a children's book. I now know that it is probably likely that David had chosen one of the most secluded spots in the city of Dublin to relieve himself of whatever gassy food he'd had for lunch and let rip such toxic farts that they were unsuitable for public toilets.
Love the pod.
I know exactly what that person's referring to. I cycle to the same tree pretty much every day for a year and a half in the Phoenix Park. And the reason I liked it was because, so it's this giant park in the center of Dublin. You couldn't see any modernity. You could see some church steeples from the 18th century. So I would imagine I had time traveled there and yeah, let off a few sweet farts also.
Do you want a spontaneous quiz? Because this didn't happen yesterday. So breaking our own rules. I've had three really good celeb spots since I've been in London. One alumnus. James Acaster. No. Oh, hang on. yeah no i am two one down now i've got one i've pulled one back against jamie and james acaster watch i was at mini golf and ian was throwing golf balls around so i didn't have time to get him over and say look hi you don't know me but you did google me once yeah so i let him be okay i mean i don't know if we how long you want the quiz because you know some people think my quizzes i don't give enough clues you don't understand what quizzes are yep No, I don't. I feel like maybe I shouldn't have brought it up this early in an episode since I'm not going to reveal the answer.
No, should I tell you? Should I tell you?
Let me guess who the alumnus is. Go right back to the beginning.
Alice James. No. Okay. Go almost right back to the beginning. Lou Sanders. Correct. Wow. I was doing the afternoon show on Talk Sport.
