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.
How did the hosts celebrate a new birth in the family?
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?
What are the challenges of batch cooking?
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 big show, David, isn't it? Because this is a... I mean, I'll stop you there. Please do.
How does bicycle seat technology impact comfort?
There's a crying wolf element to this because you do always say this, but this actually is a big one. Yeah. This is a... If you're listening to this, Willie Rushton has been born and named after his grandfather. And it's great because the whole family loved Through the Keyhole so much. And Mrs. Rushton wouldn't let me call our second son David Frost or Lloyd Grossman. And so we've called him Willie. Incredibly specific. And so at the moment, I am even more exhausted than normal and dealing with a newborn baby. So these are episodes that we don't know exactly when they're going to go out, David. But they are still, they still have the essence of midweek mayhem.
What creative differences arose during the episode?
Yes. Yes. Maybe they won't. I mean, it's not like this is a highly topical show. You know what I mean? It's not like this is the news. It's not like people come to us to get their news. In many ways, it's more topical than anything. But you're right. The yesterday we're talking about for David will be a yesterday from a week or two weeks ago.
How does David approach his daily activities?
Yeah. And I'm excited. There's one reason I'm really excited to hear about your yesterday, which is that we recorded a What Did We Do Yesterday midweek mayhem yesterday. And I want to hear David have to talk about recording that ridiculous levels of podcasting. If a podcast could get more self-indulgent than that, I'd struggle to see it. Adrian says, paternity leave? I thought you were committed to this podcast. I bet Stephen Bartlett doesn't take paternity leave. I did wonder, David, if the day after Willie is born, that I could somehow sneak in and do an episode, you know, do the birth episode. But I think that would not, that would be a betrayal of my role as a father.
What unexpected cooking decisions were made?
I'd be using, you know, you don't, we don't put our kids on, I don't put my kids on social media. I think therefore doing, what did you do yesterday? The day after Willie was born would be Incorrect, ethically. I mean, I don't want to get philosophical already, but didn't you say that everything with showbiz, Max... Well, listen, me and Hitler, the two, as we've established, the two people that say everything is showbiz, you're right. I should be live streaming the birth without telling my wife and then sticking that out on Twitch. I don't know. You also, to the listeners, you will have noticed that me and Max... I mean, we did not appear at the Trump inauguration.
How did the episode conclude with reflections on food and relationships?
You could have scanned that entire stadium and no sign of us. They wanted us to do a live one of these at it. Just go out after Nelly or whoever else was playing at it. And we said no. So... No. Who did they want us to do? They didn't want us to do Donald. We were going to start with Rudy Giuliani, what he did yesterday, and then we were going to do… Rhys James. Yeah, and then Rhys James. They were the two, yeah. Damien says, Dear David and Max… On a recent episode, you asked listeners to write in and tell you where they listen to your podcast. Well, I listened to your episode with Chloe Petz while running the Doha Marathon today. I was inspired to listen to your podcast during the run after the lady farmer from the south of Ireland described how the podcast was perfect to listen to when you were doing something that meant you couldn't concentrate on the podcast.
