Chapter 1: 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?

Chapter 2: How do the hosts introduce their special guest?
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? From the people who bring you What Did You Do Yesterday, this is Midweek Mayhem. I'm Generic Man 3, Max Rushton. And alongside me for the journey, David O'Doherty. Hello, David.
Chapter 3: What interesting anecdotes are shared about past experiences?
The 1990 East Leinster Under-14s Triple Jump Bronze Medalist is back. Congratulations. Here I am. Special guest. Me. What was your PB? 504. which was good it was best in the school okay but but philip sudowu was in your county and that was a blow no the issue was in the pit in university college dublin where the sort of championships would be there would be a marker of the world record
And it was nine whatever, which is a full four meters.
I think it's 19 meters. Jonathan Edwards did 18 meters. Oh, sorry, triple.
I'm talking about long.
Oh, you were a multi-event guy. You were a multi-event.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts discuss their live show in Melbourne?
You're like Carl Lewis.
Yeah, a lot of people cross over from one to the other. Of course. I was the spare guy in the 4x100 as well. With your little legs. With your little legs and your big body. Yeah.
That's extraordinary.
I don't want this Dingley Dell chat for my serious athletic career. Just before we go on, your football season. Firstly, I'll just let it go that you were just playing against a crappy team in your crappy Melbourne league. And then it turns out one of them had played 20 times for Brazil. And won Copa America in 2007.
Yes. Seems harsh.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared regarding parenting challenges?
Probably the best footballer in Australia, like CV-wise. Juan Matos here at the moment. But yeah, probably the, you know, the second best footballing CV. And he's standing on a pitch in Docklands just pinging the ball around 51.
And you, your little bone-on-bone leg is just as you run up the wing.
There's the distant sound of bone-on-bone. I'd say in 2007, when he won Copa America, the difference in quality between him and I was greater than it is now. Oh, yeah. We're not at the same level. He's clearly a better footballer than me. But, like, if I keep on playing, there might come a time where I'm better than him because he's dead. Unless I go first, of course.
You turning up at his old folks' home with a ball as he just says.
Knock me on the door.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts reflect on their podcast journey?
Can Monero come out to play, please? No. No.
You jink it round his walking frame and you're like, see, told you.
The hare and the tortoise. There you go. Now, we have a live show in Melbourne. I saw you posted about it yesterday, which makes me think we're not sold out, David. Do you have news?
Yes, we have sold some more tickets till the last time. We wouldn't be quite at what you might call half full yet. Okay. But we're over a third full.
Okay. Can they dress the room in a way or do we really need some people?

Chapter 7: What humorous moments arise during the cheese quiz?
In order to dress it, they would have to get loads of mannequins. I feel all of the department stores of Melbourne will need your mannequins. We'll fill the balcony with mannequins. No, there's still over a month to go. If we can get this up to two thirds, it's going to look fine.
And we haven't announced who our guest is. And they're one of the best Australian comedians there is. Yes. But we can't say who they are yet.
I think that's fair enough. Yes, we can say that much. Okay. There will be a guest. It's not just us doing this, complaining.
And he or she is one of the best comedians.
Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts before the hosts wrap up the episode?
So get your tickets to avoid disappointment.
Yeah. In the Michelle Wolf episode where you were desperately trying to think of Bad Bunny's name and referred to him as Funny Boy. This guest we have could Funny Boy, I feel, could be his or her nickname.
Okay, there was a message about funny boy. We'll get to it. I know I've got it here. It says Hi, Max, David, Mars bar will and co back in the very early days of midweek mayhem. Number four, according to everything is showbiz.com listener Niall from Gateshead spotted that Max's infamous declaration that gave the website its name was a direct quote from the title character in springtime for Hitler.
the fictitious show, within the producers that Max Bialystok and Leo Bloom stage in a deliberate attempt to produce a flop so that they can keep the money raised. This, of course, backfires when the show is an unintentional hit, leaving them, for want of a better phrase, in it for life.
Niall's suggestion back in January 2025 was that Max Rushton, not Bialystok, had made a Freudian slip and accidentally revealed the secret scheme that had resulted in a podcast about people repeatedly going to get a latte in Brighton. It was a great idea, but surely just a coincidence. There's no chance Max would accidentally do exactly the same thing a year or so later.
Fast forward to the Michelle Wolfe episode and a mention of the Grammys, prompting Max to misremember the name of the winner, Bad Bunny, much to David's amusement as Funny Boy. Funny Boy being, of course, the musical version of Hamlet that Max Bialystok has just staged in the opening scene of the producers' screenshot-attached The First Night Failure, which sets him off on the infamous plot.
Funny Boy, a musical version of Hamlet. Everything is indeed showbiz. Keep up the good work and creative accounting from Robbie. Holy shit.
Sometimes I think you're just floundering off the top of your head. But in fact, there's an incredible plan. The wheels are whirring in the background.
This pod is like Brewster's Millions. And somebody said, if you can create a pod about people doing their laundry that people like, I'll give you 50 million pounds. But you have to keep David O'Doherty in it for his entire life. When he dies, I get the 50 million pounds. And that's what's happening here. Liam Batley says, Dear Generic Man 3, DOD and Mars Bar.
