What is the main question that drives this podcast 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 amusing enemies does Max mention during the episode?
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, welcome to Midweek Mayhem. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday, my name is Max Rushton. Alongside me, David O'Doherty. Welcome, David. What I am excited to hear from this one is if you've added any more enemies to your list. Wow. Currently consisting locksmiths and lollipop. Men and women. I stand by them both. The two scourges of society. Did make me laugh a lot when you said, you know, it's like Richard Littlejohn's run out of people to hate. And now the lollipop men, you know.
We'll find out. We'll find out in the course of the day. Now, a lot of reaction to the Ben Elton episode. What an ep. My cousin Stuart. If you remember, at the top of the show, I said, Ben Elton looks like my cousin Stuart. My cousin Stuart sent me a message saying, in 1987, 88, a friend made me the official I'm not Ben Elton card, which I carried around with me at all times. I was stopped everywhere and asked if I was Ben Elton. So I was right to say that cousin Stuart looks like Ben Elton. It would be difficult if your cousin was on the train and found a double seat and thereby lived up to Ben Elton's most famous comedy routine. Yeah. And sat next to George Michael, of course. Oh, Mike. A few things. Now, to be honest, sometimes we record these.
I did listen back to that one when it came out. And what's really stayed with me, Max, Emma Thompson gives him fitness advice that he's working out too hard. So that's when he gets into working out every second day. And then Bill Bailey gives him advice on planking. Maybe these are not the best people, but I do love that they are the people. Well, on the five minute plank, Ace says to really immerse myself in the episode, I planked for the duration of it. Yeah. Not looking forward to side planking for the entirety of the Bill Bailey one when that happens. And Pat has made the point. He said, what time did you wake up yesterday, Ben Elton? I mean, I wouldn't know exactly. On the five-minute plank, he then says, with the greatest respect to Ben, from that point on, all his stats are questionable.
David Squires, our friend, the Guardian cartoonist, said, I tried to recreate the Ben Elton experience by taking my wife a cup of tea in bed this morning, and she immediately became suspicious. What have you done?
She said.
also ending an episode with dinner with richard curtis yeah you won't say we have recorded a really nice episode since then but i had it in my head that maybe this person was going to go for a big old celeb dinner that it's hard to know where to go after richard curtis yeah stewart says incredible this podcast has gone from nish kumar's gastric issues to that dinner Daisy says, my favorite animal is Max getting irritated by guests talking generally about their life rather than the specifics of yesterday. Sometimes you have to keep these people on the straight and narrow, David. The thing is, right, the reason I started this is because I don't believe anyone's life is interesting. And I certainly don't hold famous people on a different level to anyone else.
But I wonder if we get to a level of guest... Let's say, who's the most famous person in the world? I don't know.
