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 a short series, episode two of two in the paternity leave. And I really hope last ever paternity leave I take. Oh, my goodness. Midweek mayhem.
Yeah. Hey, David. It's interesting because we are this is the only time to the listeners we've ever pre-recorded these. So we literally don't know when this is going out.
Well, in a sense, all of these episodes have been pre-recorded. I hate to be a nerd about this.
We haven't done any live yet. Oh, yeah. But the Sphere in Las Vegas has been booked.
That is true. Now, you had some feedback. And just before we came on air, I said I was going to throw you a curveball. But let's do some feedback. Just to put everyone in the picture, because people who listened to the last Paternity Leave Midweek Mayhem know that this episode is starting just after we finished that episode. So the listeners can tell if we've still got the vim to do another. Like this is back to back. This is really, this is... What is this? This is the conveyor belt of podcasting. Now this is, we're not doing this for pleasure. We're just churning this shit out. This is like when they do lost series, lost series five, isn't it?
Now this is really, do you think this is night 300 of our Las Vegas run?
No, exactly.
Still, Bouncing here. I have feedback from a friend of the pod, Michael, who I stayed with in Kerry. You'll remember. Yeah.
The big kitchen table.
Yes. Idyllic life down there or his idyllic life. Him and Alva, his partner. Alva's incredible. Alva's one of the great TV writers of our nation, of this nation. She has written on bad sisters and stuff like that. Oh, cool. I enjoyed that. So Michael writes, way back when they were expecting their first, myself and Alva were watching The Nun's Story, a film starring Audrey Hepburn. So this is in the context, I think, of Celia A.B., who once watched a David Lynch blooper reel. believing it was the actual David Lynch movie. And I once watched the making of Empire Strikes Back, believing because I was eight, that it was the actual Empire Strikes Back. So this is, I think this is in the context of that. The Nun's Story, they were watching a film starring Audrey Hepburn featuring existential doubt, colonialism and tuberculosis, among other themes and storylines.
It's a somber, serious flick. Alva fell asleep beside me and I started changing channels. Coincidentally, the sound of music was starting on another channel. So I started watching it. Alva woke up from a 10 minute doze and asked me what she'd missed. The two films were the same era, had a very similar look. And we're still in the early bit in the convent. So I played along and made something up. It was such a beautiful minute when all the nuns started singing. She had no idea what was going on. And I pretend to be as shocked as she was. So, yeah, if the listeners have ever had a movie mix up on that scale, that's a beaut.
We've had lots on that subject. Colm says. Hi, David and Max. When listening to an email from a listener describing how her mother watched 90 minutes of a DVD menu, it reminded me of a customer feedback in my old job. In college, I worked part-time in Extra Vision, an Irish blockbuster slash DVD rental shop, where over the course of my time there, it became clear a lot of people had still not mastered the DVD players they had bought a few years earlier.
