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? What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello and welcome to Midweek Mayhem, the first Midweek Mayhem of Series 4. This is David O'Doherty. Hi, David.
The first Midweek Mayhem we have recorded in the year of 2026 AD. Correct. Is there a fear in the back of your mind that it just, kind of like a parking disc that you get for your car, an annual one, the show just stops working? You know, a bit of jeopardy, Max. That's what I'm trying to insert into the top of this show. I mean, I don't feel a whole lot of jeopardy currently.
Actually, I was doing... my Sunday morning talk sports show, maybe last year or the year before. So it was from 10 PM to half past midnight on New Year's Eve for me. So I saw in the new year, you know, just chatting about nothing in forest form or whatever. But at midnight, my past, that was when I was doing it in the studio, not in the shed, my past reset. So then I finished the show half past midnight. So, okay, it's not my best new year, but I don't really care anymore. Yeah. I just want to get home. And I couldn't get out of the building. I was stuck in the office of the age newspaper and three AW ready. I just couldn't, the security guard was just, he'd gone for a walk or something. I was just stuck in there.
And then I finally get like 20 minutes later, but it was a long 20 minutes. You know, when you're like, I want to get home. And then I get in the car and like, I've done this drive for like two years and it takes 15 minutes because no one is driving at half past midnight on a Sunday night. But on New Year's Eve, it is different. And I literally drive into a gridlocked city. And I'm just so angry with everyone. I want to get out and say, I'm not part of this. I am not one of you. It's the opposite of Morgan Freeman. I am not one of you. Here's Morgan Freeman. I am not one of you, but I fight like one of you. I'm not one of you, and I don't fight like one of you. I need a lane for myself because I'm here every week, you bastards.
Your ability to talk about sport is just, it's something that we don't dwell on enough on this podcast. I think a lot about a sketch from Big Train, one of the great sketch shows of the late 90s, early 2000s, I'd say. And there's one where Sir George Martin is kidnapped by, And you see him being dragged off in the back of a van. And as he's pulled off, it's Kevin Eldon as Sir George Martin just being like, a lot of people said Ringo wasn't a great film. And then you see him sort of chained to a Terry Waite type figure in some warehouse somewhere. And he's saying to Terry Waite, the idea to play the drums backwards on Tomorrow Never Knows. This is kind of you where even when you're annoyed, I still imagine you going.
Now we cross over to Dingley Dow to find out. I know you're a rounded person, but you just have this ability to broadcast that I will never have, that I'm sure of.
That's very kind of you. So lots of love for the Brett McKenzie episode. Yeah. It was a really good one, wasn't it? You know, the farming, the cow, the sort of pathos of, you know, your late father's affairs. And then Judith. Not now, Judith.
How does David reflect on his New Year's Eve experience?
Oh.
Love Judith. Absolutely love Judith. Matty says, excellent episode for the bovine community.
