What did Max do yesterday that caused him neck pain?
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?
Why does Max refuse to buy overpriced oats?
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, welcome to Midweek Mayhem. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday, I'm Max Rushton, and he is David O'Doherty. Welcome, David.
It's very nice to be here in the middle of the week, not having to deal with some special guest.
What is the A-Z of things David and Max like?
Gross.
They really get in the way, don't they? But also quite useful for growing the podcast. Thank you, guests. They do this for nothing.
Do you think we'll be able to phase them out at some point? And then we phase each other out and then do rival Estrelles, which are just us on our own. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that out loud.
The pod was when we release it exactly the same time and then we hate each other. And eventually we find ourselves a bit like... Heat, we're in that dark, dank sort of alleyway. I'm Al Pacino. You're Robert De Niro. Or we're on the top of the train. You're Tommy Lee Jones.
How does Max describe his experience at the chiropractor?
And I'm Harrison Ford. And, you know, we're just there. It's exciting. I thought you said Heat. My first thought was like Heat magazine. Oh, right.
Celebrity magazine. And they're very different.
Martin McCutcheon. And... And someone from Geordie Shore. Now, listen, David, the podcast has fallen once again into crisis. Oh, no. Namaste Keeler, friend of the pod, has been in touch regards the Alison Spittel episode. A huge opportunity to play curdle with the cheese board Alison bought for her grandfather.
What humorous moments arise during the discussion about parenting?
Not a single question about the cheeses. What have we become, David? How did we miss that? Of all the podcasts in all the world. Somebody gives us an open goal of, and then I got a cheese board and it just passed us by. I have form for this. I have form. On Boxing Day 2024, I forgot about your cheese board. But we should have between us, one of us.
We can only apologize. And then the bit where Alison Spittel went to Teddington and saw a footballer and a comedian. who's putting up posters for his gig and we just let that go we didn't inquire as to who they were she was like there it was weird because i walked past ashley cole and then i saw phil jupiter's but i didn't put two and two together lots of positive feedback on the ian smith part of that podcast where she went to ulan batur and listened to our podcast
potentially becoming the first and again we just let it oh yeah Ulan Bator yeah yeah and then when she did this bit going I've written a cover version of the one and only by Chesney Hawks do you want to hear it and we said ah nah don't worry about it Annalise says, ah, a former flogster screamer and present What Did You Do Yesterday lover. This is regards screaming in Sweden, which Ian Smith is driving to do because you can no longer fly.
How do Max and David react to feedback from listeners?
I was part of this loud tradition as a student at Uppsala University in the 80s and 90s. It's a daily occurrence at 10 p.m., The student high-rise buildings, 12 floors in Flogstar, also have roof terraces. And sometimes during parties, people scream from there. But mostly just open the window in their rooms to scream out of it for a couple of minutes. I look forward to the road trip documentary. So there we are. We found a screamer.
I look forward to you and Mrs. Rushton and your two wonderful children going on holidays to Uppsala.
