What did Max experience during his 24-hour flight?
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, the world's leading podcast, I'm Max Rushton and he is David O'Doherty. Welcome, David.
Welcome back to Australia. Thanks so much. Max, we are as far apart as geographically possible, although we're obviously in the same room metaphorically while we do this.
Yeah.
You're back.
I'm back and it's my yesterday. People will be excited to hear. It's not the flight. I mean, I can and perhaps will give you some highlights from the flight when we get to my yesterday. Although we have had some criticism on that front. It's been a day or two. I think it's fair to say. But we begin, David, with some very serious feedback and a column in the Sydney Morning Herald as I return to Australia, written by Richard Glover. who I presume is very much, you know, he's like Richard Little John. I don't know. He says, quote, the Hills Hoist is a New Zealand invention.
How does jet lag affect Max's daily routine?
That's what they said on a recent episode of a favourite podcast of mine. What did you do yesterday? Naturally, I wanted to send a sternly worded email. Not theirs, ours. There was no excuse for the error. One of the presenters is Max Roshton. He's English but lives in Melbourne. The other is David O'Dotty. He's Irish, but is a regular at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Their guest was the wonderful Sarah Pascoe. English, but married to an Australian and mother to two half-Australian children. Rushton clearly should have his visa revoked. No punishment is too severe. O'Doherty deems to make a full apology. And Pascoe, having the sensible choice of a handsome Australian husband, needs to better study the deep achievements of culture from which he hails.
This is your fault, David. We win as a team, we lose as a team, but the bus is there and I'm throwing you under it.
So this is regarding the Hills Hoist, which is the classic, I would say, 70s washing line, which is like an upside down umbrella that the stuff spins around on. Look, I know that there is a lot of aggro between New Zealand and Australia as regards things like Pavlova, as discussed, Crowded House, Farlap, the racehorse, etc. Probably sheep, yeah, rugby. Exactly. And I... unnecessarily threw into that mix, the Hills Hoist, a 100%. I now admit, I apologise to our Australian listeners. Yes, the Hills Hoist, as it's known, is a 100% Australian invention. But can you believe these hacks are out to get us? That's how big we've become. Honestly, I've never got feedback like this before on my socials, typified by even Kiwis writing in to tell me that I'm wrong from Andrew Brown.
Sorry, DoD. I think the Aussies can claim that one. However, we did invent Pavlova, the electric fence, jet boats and the bungee jump. So fair play to New Zealand for those things. Again, I am sorry.
And we just hope that through this podcast, Australia and New Zealand will finally get along and the war will end. That's what I say. Now, we have had some feedback, also disappointing feedback on the Bubbins episode. Cornelia says, great episode that strays quite far into the not yesterday territory. He says, brackets, the table. And it's true, the table was not built yesterday.
