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 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.
What interesting breakfast did the hosts discuss?
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. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday, I'm Max Rushton. And alongside me, David O'Doherty. Welcome, David.
Hello, my name is David O'Doherty. Can't stop thinking about our last guest, Richard Herring's breakfast.
Yeah, in fact, Jamie was saying how rancid it was. Yeah.
like recording this in the morning i've just made the helen copter what i would call a nice breakfast i'm thinking about how a fish can we call it a fish stir fry first thing in the morning would set the tone the nasal tone for the day as maybe it would make you very healthy to be honest yeah but if you did come upstairs with a tuna stir fry on a tray with a black coffee yeah
No one's saying, oh, my sweet. Thank you, sir. And then your whole room smells of tuna. It's like the whole thing's a disaster.
How do the hosts handle their daily struggles?
Did we not go hard enough? Did we just accept it from Herring? Maybe he can only eat fish for breakfast because his surname is Herring. Maybe we hadn't seen such an obvious.
He had been advised, he said. I think that's what put us both off because we are nothing if not tactful hosts. that's true he came up with some sort of spurious medical reason that someone had told him to do this i think we both just instinctively backed away then yeah the fear being he's like how dare you tell me i can't have a fish for breakfast i think even kippers is wrong yeah i know that's a breakfast staple but not for me clive No, it's reminiscent of Ed Gamble and how we both just struggled with that as a decision, whereas this is a lifestyle.
Ben writes, Hi Generic Englishman 3, Generic Irish Sidekick 1, Mars Bar and the Hero of Teddington. I can't remember who it was, but one of your previous guests described the show as a great idea, constrained by your insistence that you literally only want to talk about your yesterday. Yeah. This has never been more on display than when comedy legend Richard Herring was trying to have a conversation about an existential moment he's had about entering the twilight of his career and whether it was worth writing comedy or just focusing on his family, to which Max responds, we're not interested in that. What time did you finish journaling? Is it lunch? In what other podcast are you going to get the big questions like that in it for life, Ben?
It's why thus far we've both been cruelly overlooked as Desert Island Discs hosts. Just where, you know, they choose lean on me or something. fail to ask why and instead just say, what's your privilege?
It's a 10-minute episode with us. What's your first track?
What humorous anecdotes do the hosts share about parenting?
What's your second one? What's your pleasure or whatever, your luxury? Thanks so much. Tim in Kansas says, when Max was recounting his Wednesday after he made dinner, I heard him say, the pasta is delicious. And I thought, man, that is profound. Only to realize he said, the pasta is delicious, like a generic man number three. Oh, well. The future is dessert. Tim in Kansas.
Yeah, it reminds me of the incredibly profound text from father to son, which is what do you want in life? And the person thinks about it and it's just in the middle of composing the response and the clarification comes in.
