What did David 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.
What is David's new top secret project?
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?
How does David feel about working in a cafe?
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 who normally bring you What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton and he is David O'Doherty.
And we are joined on the podcast today by Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.
What was the experience like at the Ireland vs. Portugal football match?
Welcome.
We're not, but I just thought it'd be fun to just write some checks we can't cash there. Wow. I don't know. Do you think that would move the dial if we had Cuba Gooding Jr. on? I don't think there's many. We normally have people who are on Taskmaster on, but if Cuba Gooding Jr.
was on... Would it move the dial? I don't know.
What interesting story does David share about Enya?
I'm not sure. I think you'd get a few idle interests from the United States. They'd be like, oh... You know?
Yeah.
There are probably some Cuba Gooding Jr. ultras. I haven't really followed much since Jerry Maguire, if I'm really honest. Anyway, David, I have a bone to pick with you. Oh, God.
How does David's day compare to his expectations?
Because of Cuba Gooding Jr.? No. Show me the podcast.
That's what I would say right at the start.
I don't want this to cause a fault line in our relationship. Ah, life breakup. But I've noticed... You've been doing the podcast rounds. You did Adam Buxton. Okay, you recorded that 55 years ago, but it went out.
What humorous interactions occur during the episode?
Plugged this. Yeah, Adam Buxton plugged this. That's very exciting. Then you did Richard Herring's podcast, Ruhe Lustepa. Yes. Now, I've done podcasts where I've talked about this podcast, and I've said, and I do it with David O'Doherty. Everyone loves him. He's the greatest guy in the world. He's so funny. You must love him.
What reflections does David have on his experiences?
Can I give you the direct quote?
Oh, God. Yeah. Who's a football fella from the Guardian. There we are, that's it. You're ashamed. David, you're ashamed.
What the listeners can see is that on the little Zoom where we record this, you are simply just a football with two little legs at the bottom. You're a 1970 Brazil World Cup football with the black patches on it. And one of those birthday cards that you got when you were 10.
That's me just cheering, going, hooray. That's it. Hooray. I am so sorry not even the a indefinite article a football fella from the Guardian there we are introduced to that I know that there was a lot of editing going on I could see while we were recording it just a bunch of editors in the corner they were editing it like
George Martin would edit the Beatles like strips of tape and they'd be holding them up. So they probably just chopped out the bit where I talked about my warmth for you and how for a guy associated with football, actually you contain multitudes.
Although, you know, I do like apples. So perhaps finding a simplicity was the right thing. Now, this is exciting. You sent this to us, David. There's an article in the Irish Times of which the headline is, Why did a woman with a congenital heart disease choose to lose her virginity to a man in whom she had little interest? How are we in the first paragraph of this article?
That's a bad headline, isn't it? Emotionally, I don't really know. It doesn't grab me.
It's by Bridget O'Dea. O'Dea. And Bridget O'Dea, my apologies. Let me read the first two paragraphs. There are many things I miss out on because of migraines. Listening to podcasts is not one. Friends will be familiar with my habit of interrupting conversations with random information I have acquired from hours of audio detailing how sushi is trending in Pakistan or that, according to David O'Doherty, Lululemon make the most comfortable underpants.
