What did the hosts reflect on from their first live show?
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 unexpected challenges did the hosts face during the live show?
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, it's a midweek episode with me, Max Rushton, and this man, David O'Doherty.
Midweek Mayhem! Mayhem!
How did David's day involve a punctured bicycle tire?
Mayhem! This is the first time we've done one of these since we have done it in person. Yeah! Following the great, as people are calling it, first ever live What Did You Do Yesterday, Max. The show that changed theatre forever is what people are saying. So apparently the front page of the Times of London the next day was a star is born and then brackets two and our faces.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you to everyone that came and I hope you had a lovely time. People did notice that some of the technicals, brackets, all of them didn't work. And most of my friends thought this is all part of the show. Yeah.
It's a real advantage of being a total shambles because, for example, so Mars Barra had made a beautiful montage of the stars. I mean, we can say what it was now, which was Sugar Ross plays as. shots come up of people saying certain key things from the history of this podcast. Yeah.
What humorous anecdotes did the hosts share about their experiences?
And it wouldn't output at the last minute. So you told him just to have Suga Ross playing and the word montage written on a big screen at the back of the stage. Then to add to that, the audio wouldn't output either. So Suga Ross was playing from a tiny speaker, smaller than you'd have in a car, back of the stage in an enormous Victorian musical.
So maybe the first two rows could slightly hear it. And what's funny is we were just standing there laughing and Mars Bar was like sprinting around the back of the stage going, nothing's working. Anyway, what's good is maybe we have set expectations so low on this podcast that people were like, this is their plan all along. It's just going to say montage. Not only that, there's going to be no music. So basically the people, anyone who wasn't in the first two rows just saw the word montage for two minutes. And then we wandered on going, okay, we're digging uphill. We're digging uphill here. Thank you to Nish Kumar, who was our special guest. Yeah. And he was excellent.
What was the significance of the guest Nish Kumar in the episode?
It had to be him, really. It did. He set the tone for, although it was the 19th one, I think, that was released. It was the first one we ever recorded. We were both tentatively wondering if this worked as a concept. And last week, he got his retribution for all of the jokes we'd made about him. Yeah.
Lots of friends, my friends came. There were two things. One, Clive always 15 year old son, Jonty. And I wondered what Clive was thinking. Maybe the 10th time Nish used the C word to describe a conservative politician. Also my friend Ellie, who works in theatre, I met them for a pint at like seven. The show was a hard pass. And she was like, what are you doing?
What culinary delights did David prepare for his parents?
Why are you here? Like this is a theatre show. You should be prepping and doing stuff. I was like, it's all under total control. And then the first five minutes of the show.
Absolutely.
well just just as regards little jaunty you must accept some responsibility for sending it in this direction by walking out with a bath that you said could be filled with whatever people wanted to fill it with i'm leaving it at the front of the stage
