What did David do yesterday?
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.
How is Max managing solo parenting?
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? My name's Max Rushton. Alongside me, David O'Doherty. Welcome, David.
It's the toughest one, isn't it? The first one after we didn't get the hosting of Strictly Come Dancing. It's the toughest podcast to do.
I, like everyone, I was in the running. And my first thought when Josh Whittakin goes, I could do that. Yeah. Despite having never watched an episode of Strictly, I don't think that should rule me out. Of having no link to the show and not being in the right country. Yeah.
What challenges arise from solo parenting?
And not really being at that level. It would have been a real curveball if I'd got the gig. Let's be real.
It would. And you'd be so unclear with it. You just bring your football chat to it. You'd be like, so the top of the table's decided, but who is going to be relegated? Over to you, Anton the judge or whatever. I'd be like, why does this guy think this is a football show?
You know, really, have they overlooked Unai Emery here for Cha-Cha-Chara of the year? That's... Hey, can I say hello to Kat, who I met at Play Nook today. It's not my yesterday, it was my today. We were chatting and young Willie Rushton was running around with one of her friends, little kids, and she had a three-month-old called Morgan. And then she said, do you do a podcast?
How do David and Max prepare for their live show?
And then we had a nice chat. And her mother-in-law, Gay, came to the live show in Melbourne.
Wow.
yeah the unfortunate thing about this podcast and there are many some yeah but one of them is that so this is going to be my yesterday when we get around to it it is but could we just lift the lid a little bit not so much on your yesterday because that's against the rules but this is day six of your wonderful partner being away and you in charge of your children and people who've listened to the podcast before may have noticed that sometimes you get tired when you're looking after them and that's when you're only doing 50 or less of the work less let's be real david i'm what's known in the traders i am eating bullets right now
Are you eating bullets? I'm fucking eating bullets, man. What is it today? It's Thursday today. So Jamie left for a much-deserved holiday last Friday at 4 a.m. Yeah. So Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. This is night seven. And Willie Rushton has been getting out of bed at 4 o'clock every morning, except once when he got up at 3.
What?
What humorous anecdotes do they share about parenting?
Not acceptable behavior. It's not on. It's not on. My work to do at the same time. Sure. I'm making a lot of risotto and I'm just drowning in a risotto of tears. That's what I'm doing. Such a beautiful lyric that is. It's like a Frankie Valli song. I'm weeping chicken bone broth into a pot of Arborio rice.
Are they of an age where you can bring Jamie on a iPhone, like on video call?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Does that just make them angry though that she's...
yeah it's sort of weird it makes them occasionally happy occasionally willie will burst into tears or later ian will be like i miss my mom and then they're totally fine for a bit and then yeah i am going to pick her up at the airport not just because it'd be lovely to see her and it'd be lovely to see her but also because then i'd be like i and maybe i'll just book a flight that leaves 10 minutes later i mean i gotta go
