What is the main question of the podcast?
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 brought to you by the people that make What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton and opposite me on the Zoom call, David O'Doherty. Welcome, David. Also opposite you on the world. That's the thing about this podcast. The reason our vibe is so utterly magnetic is because if you dropped a weight straight down through the earth, you would come to me and we have to get the vibe right. We have to be on perfect opposite sides. Exactly right. Andrew says, Merry Christmas to the real heroes of the year, Jordan Henderson and Rufus Hound. So Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. David, this is our first anniversary of Mayhem. This is the first one we ever tried. This is where Midweek Mayhem was born. It's where Curdle, what did you want to do yesterday, was born. nostalgic because up until this point last year we would just incorporate some bizarre audience content at the start before we spoke to remember the early days we'd just be talking to like melvin bragg and leading intellectuals it was a slightly different show back then I do remember Desmond Tutu's yesterday. That was one of my absolute favorites. But I'm glad we split them up. You know, there are some people that prefer the guest episodes because there's content, and there's some people that prefer these ones because they're these ones.
Now, this is the last episode of Series 3, and we are going to take a bit of a break just because of our schedules and things like that. But we will be back at some point in the new year. Hopefully, we'll be able to come back to this. Yeah, fingers crossed. How long a break are we taking? Oh, well, I mean, it's up in the air at the moment. Last year, the break consisted of no break. That is right. Our schedules. Come on. Don't spoil the gag, David. The thing is. I sold it really well. I reckon when I said we're taking a bit of a break, a few people would have gone, oh, well, they are. You know, you've exposed the myth that our break will be precisely four days. it's just the idea that our hectic schedules that I can't find time to come to my basement in my dressing gown as I have now and talk about cheese with you.
Just like, yeah, be hard. Hopefully 2029, I'll be able to get back to it. I can't leave my house in the evening because I'm sleeping children. So basically it's like, I haven't found time my schedule to walk from the back door to the shed. Yeah. hey people loved your christmas story david people your christmas story more like it our christmas story our christmas story yeah i thought you really do you know what i didn't intend so to people who may not have heard it was something of a change of tack and thank you very much to producer boris bar producer will for making all of this happen because I'd written like it was basically a feature film in audio form. And we divided into three episodes and I needed high end voice acting talent.
You did. Yeah. So I thought about that and then used you instead. But your characters got more sinister as the three episodes went along, such that, you know, in acting, have you played the Dane? You know, have you ever done Hamlet? Because it's the most complex character.
