What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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, everybody. Welcome to Midweek Mayhem. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday? My name is Max Rushton, and alongside me is David O'Doherty.
I just think it'd be funny if I didn't say anything for the whole episode. Wow, okay. I know this doesn't really work because it's a purely audio medium, and dead air is a crime, but I was just thinking, like, how... Not even just monosyllabic answers to the inane stuff. Just maybe an occasional nod or something like that.
I mean, calling this excellent correspondence from our wonderful audience inane stuff... I think is your first mistake. And also it's your yesterday. So like I'm all on board with trying new ideas, but that is going to be a sort of like an experimental. Are we ready to go experimental on this part?
I don't know. I just think it would become the thing that defines our podcast. Have you heard the podcast with Max from Guardian Football and the guy who doesn't say anything?
It's interesting you bring up, you know, Max, just that football guy. Because we've had more correspondence on that subject. But it's not you that's the problem.
How do David and Max engage with their audience?
It's actually Mars Bar. This is a big issue. Go on. Well, Owen wrote this. I first got alluded to, a couple of people sent me a message on Instagram, but I didn't really believe it. But Owen writes, gentlemen, long-time listener, first time you've added to any podcast. I'm in what I imagine is a small group of listeners who listen to the Guardian Football Weekly, What Did You Do Yesterday, Parenting Hell, and Quickly Kevin. So I was intrigued when on a recent Today's As Of Writing Parenting Hell podcast, the conversation turned to underwear. Michael slash Mars Bar was eventually asked what underwear he wore because he also produces our Lesser Sister podcast. parenting hell. Good luck to those up-and-comers.
It was eventually asked what underwear he wore and did he wear Calvin Klein's, like one of the hosts of Parenting Hell. He admitted that he used to, but in fact recently changed his underwear allegiance. This got me interested. Would we be about to get a rare crossing of the podcast streamed? I listened more carefully, putting down the small child's food that I was preparing that could wait. More important things were afoot. Indeed, Michael did say that someone had recommended Lululemon's to him. He now wore them for sporting activities. I waited further to see if he would credit the host of What Did You Do Yesterday, but alas, the conversation moved on. He'd failed to attribute this piece of advice to anyone.
As a listener to What Did You Do Yesterday since the start, I was surprised to hear that Michael didn't credit Max or David with the recommendation, given how much they all got paid for advertising Lululemon's. The only assumption that I can make is that he is ashamed to admit to his more popular podcast friends that he produces What Did You Do Yesterday? I hope this is not the case, as What Did You Do Yesterday may be his finest work so far. Anyway, just wanted an excuse to say I love the pod, especially the Teddington quiz. Best quiz so far. Long way out live. Everything is showbiz. In it for life.
