What did Max 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 everybody, welcome to today's episode of Midweek Mayhem. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday, the hit weekend podcast asking people what they did yesterday. I'm Max Rushton and this is David O'Doherty.
Hello and welcome to Midweek Mayhem from the people that, whatever you said. I was going to try and keep it up for the whole episode where I just kept repeating the thing that you said.
Sort of like an annoying thing you do at school. I really had persistence for doing that. The Cambridge to Oxford X5 bus was a long journey. It went through every Bicester. It went through everywhere. Bedford, Bicester, Milton Keynes. And I think I sat next to my friend John and just prodded him on the leg for the whole three and a half hours. He was like, I bet you can't. I was like, I bet I can. I've got some bad news, David. Oh, no. Julian Potter's been in touch. To say, hi, Max, bad news on the sponsorship front. After checking on everything in showbiz, the first mention of Lululemon was June. Since then, with you guys promoting them unofficially, the share price has dropped 48%. It's like one of those Black Thursday graphs or whatever it is.
People walking out of Lululemon holding bags of pants.
That's just there. Shit. And this was, you know, I've really been bigging them up a lot. I use them as a keep the light out face mask. Versatile. Use them as underpants. Yeah. On my holidays in France last week, I started to use them as swimming tugs. And? Let's just say don't dive in.
Right. I understand. Unless you want a big reveal.
The Lululemon big reveal swimmers. A lot of people saw my Lululemons.
If you were, you know, a mid-range high diving duo in the Olympics, you know, so you're not China. The Chinese are going to win, aren't they? Britain, we might be going for bronze. Ireland. Yeah, Ireland. Okay. If you're the Irish diving team. And you both went in Lululemons. And as you entered the water, you know, twizzle, twizzle, twizzle, twizzle, tiny splash. And then the Lululemons popped up into the air. And then you get out of the pool, Starkers. I think you'd get good numbers. Hey, lots of love for the Alan Davis episode. Dermot writes, Alan saying lovely things about David set at the fringe. David annoyed that he didn't think he looked hot. Us Irish, we cannot take compliments. In many ways, David, he went further than saying you didn't look hot.
I thought...
Oh, dear. Yes. Thank you very much, Alan, for coming to this show. That was very nice. And I should have just been happy that a legend of British comedy had come to my show. But instead, yes, it did. It rankled a tiny bit. Every silver lining has a little turd in it.
But it's interesting because it sort of goes full circle. Because what he was saying was the way that you approached life was how Mary Beard explained the ancient Romans did because there were no mirrors. Yeah. And so you are living your life in the beardy and ancient Roman way. Jim says, as a fellow on-pitch organizer, this is regards Alan Davis being a sensible footballer and me talking too much. Is there anything worse than coming off the pitch at halftime and someone saying no one's talking out there and you're as hoarse as an Iceland lasagna circa 2013?
