Chapter 1: What unique aspects does Montenegro bring to the conversation?
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.
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.
Chapter 2: How do Max and David incorporate humor into their storytelling?
And I'm David O'Doherty.
Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello, you're listening to Midweek Mayhem from the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday? My name's Max Rushton. Alongside me, David O'Doherty. Welcome, David.
Bing, bing, bing! I've decided to do the whole episode today only using sound effects. That last bit you did was definitely words. Look, what the listeners need to know is I've never seen someone down a third of a Tony's Choco Lonely Bar as close to the start of a podcast. And then seemingly just have a normal voice when we begin it.
It's a Cadbury's breakaway, so there is some wafer in there. That's a little broadcasting trick that I learned at the Bruno Brooks Radio School. If you really need some chocolate, have a little wafer. Have a Kit Kat.
Chapter 3: What personal anecdotes shape their views on parenting?
Chip Cobb writes, Oh God, I was on the train during the auto cum machine story. I still have lower face cramp. So yes, that was a wonderful moment last week. Finally, David Cracked.
The auto text of our show had translated auto cue to auto come and Lenny Henry went on stage and was just splattered by this dreadful machine as he tried to deliver his material. Absolutely hosed down by the autocom machine. See, it is funny. It only took an extra week, but now old chocolatey face there is lolling away.
It's the fact that it's auto, isn't it? It's not a manual one. Obviously a manual one takes longer. This one is absolutely pumping it out.
The Gaviscon ad, they're a manual. The guys with just the classic hoses.
Do you think that's a manual?

Chapter 4: How do they address the challenges of daily life in their discussions?
I would say that's pretty, that was in my mind, sort of what a machine would look like. Poor Lenny. Poor Lenny. Lots of people like the Amy Annette episode, so thanks, Amy. Dan's been in touch. As a purist, I agree. David crossed a line here, not because there was too much of his yesterday, no. He tasked us with finding another name consisting of three nouns.
At the beginning of the episode, I lost my concentration. And then he says, Willie Carson.
Yeah, that's good. That's really good, actually. Yeah. It's also sent me down a, would I lie to you? Not the TV show, but the song.
Chapter 5: What insights do they share about their experiences with food and cooking?
Because she did identify it as the greatest song ever written. And specifically the bit where the guy goes...
It's not the kind of game I play. Well, Dobby wrote, Max doing the Charles or is it Eddie impression of, that's not the kind of game I play, was peak podcasting for me. I had to screw up my face on the tube. La-di-da, look at me in Richard Curtis's London. So as not to be one of those people who laughs out loud in public, it's my favorite bit of that legendary song too.
I briefly, for under a single day, owned it as a tape cassette single before Misha at school stole it and brazenly pretended it was hers. So my emotions when hearing it are both euphoric at the perfectly timed, oh yeah, and the deep sadness at man's humanity to man or woman. Wow. Thank you, Dobby.
There is a slight age difference between us. We'll never admit which one of us is older.
No, but you had a 50th birthday party last year.

Chapter 6: How do they explore the concept of nostalgia in their narratives?
I knew I voted for you. I'm coming up on the rails. Did you have a single? Were you of the single era? Well, my first single was the Anfield rap on Seven Inch.
Oh, interesting. My first album was Bad by Michael Jackson. But at the time, you know, he hadn't been cancelled. I think it's worth pointing out. No, absolutely. Did you try and learn off any of the dancers?
Oh, I can do all of them.
Both Liverpool's, both Bruce Grobbelaar's and Michael Jackson's.
Do the players do raps in the Anfield rap or is it just generally raps about... I'm not that familiar with it.
No, no, the players do raps.

Chapter 7: What humorous moments arise from their discussions about work and responsibilities?
John Barnes begins by saying, Liverpool FC are hot as hell. United, Tottenham, Arsenal. And then he says, I come from Jamaica. My name is John Barnes. And when I get the ball, the crowd go bananas.
Yes.
That is good stuff. That was nice. Joe says, John Claude Van Damme has a past tense verb and two nouns in his name. And Donald says, I bring you your attention, the three noun name Long John Silver. Regarding John, I have no preference between a toilet or a customer of a prostitute. Your friend in showbiz. I didn't know that was what a John was that.
Oh, because I was thinking it was Jean, lies in jeans. It's not Long Jean Silver, is it?
Chapter 8: How do they engage with listener feedback and stories?
Oh, Jean Claude. Because I think he is J-E-A-N. What's the Claude? Sorry. The AI system.
I think he's Claude is the past tense verb. So Jean Claude Van Damme.
Well, what I'm going to say is if John is, say, a single leg of jeans, okay, Claude is the AI system. It's one of the potential AIs that's going to take over the world. A van is a van and a dam is a dam. Jean-Claude Van Damme, you could argue, is actually four nouns. Wow.
Okay. Yeah. Which is better than Graham's Tony Hart, Morph's friend. A three-noun person, but a three-anatomical noun person as well. Oh, yeah. Tony Hart. That is good. Neil writes, your use of the swap shop postcode W128QT as a default chimed with me, David. I use B12JP, which was tis was. He says, I'm not sure if that gets us anywhere. But do you know where it's got us, David? Where?
Would you like to listen to my life in postcodes? Yes. Okay. Hit the music. What?
What?
These are all the postcodes I lived in. Are you interested? Yeah, I'm so interested. CB12BY 10961 OX13PG OX26QB OX44AE CB12BY N22AT N44HB WC1XOET EC1Y8QP 3070 That's my whole life.
That's really good. But we do know where the listener is now. That'd be the only thing though, don't we?
Well, no, that's my life in postcodes.
