What did Max 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? 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. This is a spin-off podcast, but in many ways more successful than the original, but in other ways less successful. But it is, in many ways, the same podcast. I'm Max Rushton. He likes apples, everyone. A is for apples. I almost sent you a video, this is David O'Doherty, by the way, of young Ian saying, I like apples. And then I always thought, never has the phrase, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, been more apt... Him saying, I like apples. How are you, David? Do you want to go straight into some feedback? Oh, sure. I'm delighted to be here.
I wouldn't say it's stressful talking to our guests, but when it's just you and me, it's just the old gang. We just... Talk about whatever, really.
Now, I was going to put my apology to you and Angela Scanlon about toasters in this episode. We do cover that in an episode coming out soon with Kelly Cates. So maybe we should leave that.
How do Max and David handle listener feedback?
I don't know if we need... I'm not one for repeating anecdotes. People will know that. it's true yeah so let's leave that aside and we begin this is from Kate and Jake and it says hi there Max and David dear hubby and I have been married 15 years now and we do not repeat do not share podcasts despite being gross consumers of them my husband Jake attributes this to him listening exclusively to serious football podcasts and me listening exclusively to quote whatever shit it is that I listen to He is an ex-Londoner living now in Melbourne. He has converted me to being a diehard Arsenal fan. He does, however, love himself a general football podcast. We've had to travel together by car the last two weeks.
And in a compromise, I said I'd listen to a football podcast and then one of mine and so on. When he led with the Guardian Football Weekly with Max Rushton, I excitedly proclaimed that one of my favourite podcasts is hosted by Max Rushton. He was very reluctant to believe me, proclaiming that Max Rushton is a very serious sports journalist, Kate. I doubt you're thinking of the same person. He further endorsed this with a quick, as in, he writes for the Guardian. David, for better or worse, he was prepared to accept you'd be involved in my shit playlist.
LAUGHTER
We both love you. He just seemed to accept that my baseline high shit factor could indeed be led by you, David. I had to prove to him I knew what I was talking about and queued up the Alan Davis episode, one of my favourites so far. We happily chuckled our way through Poppy the Wonder Dog, Rice Cakes with Tofu and Beetroot and, oh my, all manner of things that made us cackle together. I've converted him and he's converted me to Guardian Football Weekly. So if you could just focus on Arsenal a bit more, that might make a happy marriage even happier. Love the pod and all you do. Take your time with the foundations you chatted with Rosie Jones about. There might be some work in working with under-functioning married couples to find commonality between media sources so they can laugh themselves silly again.
Who knows how many marriages you'd save? And how can we underestimate the community impact of that work? Thank you for giving us common ground again.
