What is the main question the podcast seeks to answer?
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 today's episode of Midweek Mayhem, a podcast spin-off of What Did You Do Yesterday? Starring me, Generic Man 3, Max Rushton, and David O'Doherty, Irish comedian. Welcome, David.
I've just had such a confusing moment. What's happened? This will fit into my yesterday, but because this is my today and it's just happened. Look, if I'm honest, I've been up for an hour, okay? Okay, yeah. I think that's the minimum time you should be up before you record one of these podcasts. And last night, my partner, the Helen Kupter, had gone to bed before me for reasons we'll get to later.
Hang on, interruption. You appear to be giving us some of your yesterday. A, not in chronological order, and B, not where it fits in the episode of Mayhem.
I'll pivot it to today. Okay. Because I am a conscientious person, I strip down to my T-shirt and Lululemons in the bathroom. This morning? Yes. No, last night before I go up to bed.
How does David describe his morning routine?
Right, I see.
Oh yeah, I understand.
Yeah. You know, so I'm not clomping around the room. But I leave them on the side of the bath, the trousers, with the shoes under it. And when I come down... Let me guess, a badger is wearing them, lying in the bath. No, it just because of the sleepy state of me an hour ago. And this really, it opened me with a jump. I thought there was a man standing in the bathroom because I saw shoes and trousers. Right. And then kind of like, I think it's a joke in Top Secret, the Val Kilmer movie by the airplane guys, where he is crawling through a field and he sees like some boots in front of him and he goes up and they're just boots in a field. Similar to that, when I got to the height of the bath, it was nothing else.
But I had two concurrent thoughts. One was, there's someone in my bathroom. And secondly, they're wearing very similar clothes to me.
Well, you're thinking, if there is an intruder, right? If the intruder is also wearing Lululemon, you think this podcast is really doing well. Yeah. take what you want especially if they tell you because i mean i i don't have experience when the subaru was stolen they didn't stop in to have a chat yeah certainly we didn't get to the stage of what underwear do you normally carry what are you normally wearing mr robber but if you got to that stage just imagine the coincidence yeah you'd have to stop chat about that Anyway, we have some breaking news. Producer Will is manning the buttons in the absence of Mars Bar. Will, welcome. Hi. It's very much on the fact that this podcast is the center of the universe.
But what happened to you? Was it yesterday or just the other day?
No, it was actually yesterday. Amazing. It's very relevant to the podcast. It really is. Yeah. Perfect. So I woke up at 6 a.m. No. I was...
That's the whole rest of this podcast. Producer Will just straight in.
So yesterday evening when I was returning home from a busy day in working in Soho, I was on the Elizabeth line going east and it was quite a cramped train and I was standing next to someone. They go out their phone and in that kind of distracted way where you kind of, you can't help but look at someone's phone over their shoulder. I clocked that this person was listening to an episode of What Did You Do Yesterday
