What is the significance of asking 'What did you 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?
How do the hosts engage with listener feedback?
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, the offshoot of the very successful podcast, What Did You Do Yesterday? My name is Max Rushton and alongside me for the journey is David O'Doherty today. Welcome, David.
Hello, Max.
What humorous anecdotes are shared about past experiences?
My name is David O'Doherty. Welcome to the What Did You Do Yesterday? Offsheet. Oh, God.
Offsheet. Yeah. I feel like you want to start again, David, because I feel like we shouldn't start again. I feel like it's too on Instapodcast.
I think my plan there, and I don't know if I was going to do the whole episode, like, you know, the news agents, like that sort of thing, where I was going to properly present. What's new this week and yesterday is, Max, I've been looking through the emails. You know, I was going to do the whole thing.
Right, I see. Have you ever wanted to be sort of TV? Because I used to do this, you know, it was as a radio reporter and, you know, they'd send you to the scene of the crime, but you'd actually know absolutely nothing. And the policeman there wouldn't tell you anything.
What challenges arise from defrosting a freezer?
And so they'd tell you down the line what had happened. And then you'd say, and what we do know is the assailant was somewhere between five and 85, male or female, black or white, and could have been wearing a top. What we don't know is when the crime happened and exactly how many people have been affected. Back to you, Eddie, and hope that they wouldn't answer any more questions. You want to do it in that kind of style.
That's what I wanted. But then I said offshoot instead of offshoot. And we are where we are, Max. It's lovely to be here. Hello, listeners.
Yeah, hi everybody. Let's dive straight into the feedback. Lots of positive reaction to the Chris McCausland episode, but people especially liked the fact that you were sort of leading, you were being the sensible one. Alice said, so funny hearing David getting exasperated while Max interrupts to talk about video games. How the turns table, she says.
How do the hosts handle unexpected situations during the episode?
I did feel quite liberated, I've got to say.
It's extraordinary that your specialist subject is specifically football computer games of the, what are we going to say, the early 90s?
I'm going to say 1988 to probably 1997. I dropped off before the GoldenEye era began. what console that's the amiga console through the nintendo we're starting with an amstrad cpc 6128 built-in disk drive everybody well some real classics on that treasure island dizzy etc then we're moving into the amiga 500 then i got a megabyte upgrade and then we're through you know kickoff to sensible soccer championship manager all these things yeah i mean that really i mean if we wanted to get into the weeds i could do hours, probably on my own, having an absolutely wonderful time. I don't know how well it would do as a podcast, but I'd give it a go. Actually, on Emlyn Hughes' International Soccer, Adam says, and he calls it the Dion Dublin conundrum.
He says, I don't want to be a pedant, but this is now my third email on this topic that I now call the Dion Dublin conundrum. I do sympathize with David because Max references so many niche characters who require additional explanation for our international listeners. However, when Max mentioned Emlyn Hughes' international soccer, actually it was Chris who mentioned it, David chose not to explain who Emlyn Hughes is.
