0:00 - 0:11
Podcasts, there are millions of them. Some might say too many. I have one already.
0:11 - 0:20
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.
0:20 - 0:25
But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared?
0:25 - 0:34
Too afraid of being censored by the man? Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters.
0:34 - 0:38
We try and say it at the same time, Max. What did you do yesterday?
0:38 - 0:43
What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guests got up to yesterday.
0:43 - 0:49
Nothing more. Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life?
0:49 - 0:55
Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushden. And I'm David O'Doherty.
0:55 - 1:04
Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello, and welcome to today's episode of Midweek Mayhem.
1:04 - 1:10
From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday? My name's Max Rushden, and he is David O'Doherty.
1:10 - 1:19
Welcome. I am ready to yesterday. This is the least I've ever spoken to anyone before we've recorded an episode.
1:19 - 1:27
I wonder if you're getting that in my voice. I need to point out I've been up for an hour, and I went for a little walk, but I didn't meet anyone.
1:27 - 1:36
So this is fresh. There was coming out. Look, all I'll say in my defense is I'm still at this never-ending Edinburgh Fringe.
1:36 - 1:44
Of course. I'm spending my evenings yelling. I understand. So maybe these timbres, my morning timbres, are a little more baritone.
1:44 - 1:52
Well, I'm coming off the back of nine straight days of radio, and actually I feel I've got a little bit of, this is quite, you know, a bit of Barry White.
1:52 - 1:59
What a sexy podcast. There'll be women swooning while listening to this. Should we start with some feedback?
2:00 - 2:05
David. Yes. Huge news here from the Shipleys of Brighton, of course. 90% of our audience are in Brighton.
2:05 - 2:11
Max, David, and Mars Bar, my husband and I listen to your podcast religiously when episodes are released.
2:11 - 2:16
We listen separately, then come together to discuss each episode. It's become a great part of our week.
2:16 - 2:23
I should hope so. That's how everybody does it. Have you heard about the decline in book clubs and book groups since this podcast started?
2:23 - 2:29
Now people just get together and discuss this podcast. Also, yeah, religiously implies, because it comes out on a Sunday morning.
2:29 - 2:37
Absolutely. A lot of churches just blare the full podcast, and people listen, and then afterwards can talk about it in groups.
2:37 - 2:41
Anyway, they said, you asked before for people to let you know what they're doing while listening to the pod.
2:41 - 2:53
My waters broke at 5 a.m. on the 24th of July, and we decided the best thing to keep us calm through my initial contractions was to listen to Midweek Mayhem, Welcome Home Max episode.
2:53 - 3:07
That's you flaunting around Totterbrook or someplace. I was at the Lensbury in Teddington. Another martini, please.
3:07 - 3:17
Thank you for helping us through this life-changing event. I went on to give birth to our beautiful baby boy, William VIII, King William VIII of Brighton, at 8 p.m.
3:17 - 3:23
Yes, my husband is William VII. Wow. I thought the Williams ran out at about 4, didn't they?
3:23 - 3:29
But they're back, William VIII. We are devastated that you're doing a show in London in September, as it's too early for us to both leave the baby.
3:29 - 3:33
Please come. We're going to do a show in Brighton, so all the comedians drinking coffee can attend from the Shipley's.
3:33 - 3:44
So, congratulations. Is this the first What Did You Do Yesterday, baby? If you really loved us, you would have moved away from William and called him B.O.C. Shipley,
3:44 - 3:49
which, you know, it would sound like a sort of golfer, you know, comes 20th in the Masters.
3:49 - 3:57
And six under par, after a good third round, it's B.O.C. Shipley. No one need ever know what they stand for.
3:57 - 4:04
May Jr. Forever be chasing a goose. That's the greeting that we give you from the podcast.
4:04 - 4:10
Imagine how big we'd be in Brighton, though. We'd have to rent out. Is it the Amex Stadium?
4:10 - 4:15
Is that where they play? Just standing in the middle of the pitch, people cheering every word.
4:15 - 4:20
We've had so much feedback from the John Robbins pod and the Ross Noble pod.
4:20 - 4:24
Very different. Both very long. Both very different. John, this is from Anonymous. I love this.
4:24 - 4:29
Sort of a sort of a backhanded compliment. This is the only episode I've recommended to another person.
4:30 - 4:38
Listen. Congratulations. As a member of the fellowship, I love John's candidness and tempered honesty about what occurs in those spaces.
4:38 - 4:45
Also, I burst into tears while driving when he mentioned Danny championing the world. Other than my AA group meeting, you are the highlight of my Sundays.
4:45 - 4:50
Thank you. Oh, my goodness. Which is really nice. This one came from John. Slightly different feedback.
4:50 - 4:59
I think you may have finally gone full Max in this episode. Five minutes of John intelligently articulating how we shouldn't berate ourselves for using our phones and the psychological.
5:00 - 5:07
Nuances of the complex decision trees we have to navigate. Two second pause. Max, my Instagram tells me I should hang from a bar.
5:07 - 5:20
Yes, John Robbins. Thank you so much. There's just one piece of feedback. I can't remember the person's name.
5:20 - 5:26
They just opened it with, as a long-term John Robbins apologist. I enjoyed the episode.
5:26 - 5:36
I just love that your fans are called apologists. For Ross Noble, I mean, Seamus says, I sent you an email about nearly throwing up during the Adam Buxton episode when he was describing his shower.
5:36 - 5:42
I passed the same point where that happened today on my run, and Ross Noble hadn't even woken up yet.
5:42 - 5:57
The Robbins was another episode where he tried to hurry us along. We got so bogged down in his wordle.
5:57 - 6:02
At one point, he mentions a wordle, where you do a thousand wordles at the same time.
6:02 - 6:06
I was thinking about that. How does that work? That's all the words, isn't it?
6:06 - 6:17
You're never going to be wrong. It's true. And then Robbins has to say, we're still at 7.30 or something.
6:17 - 6:26
Come on, boys. There's three messages on the Ross Noble episode, which I'll read. Fergie saying, the way long chat, the stark crying laughing nearly crashed the Corsa.
6:26 - 6:33
Underestimated says, it was a pleasure to listen to this. I nearly crashed on the Mitchell, freeway laughing at the thoughts of chicken legs coming out of a bath.
6:33 - 6:38
But Christ, my one hour Monday commutes were joyous. Thank you. DJ LKP, I'm 17 minutes in.
6:38 - 6:42
I've nearly crashed the car twice from laughing. I'm holding off the rest for everyone's safety.
6:42 - 6:55
Who knew? Who knew that Ross Noble, he caused RTAs across the world. I mean, I do remember that opening from the Dukes of Hazard, which for many of our listeners,
6:55 - 7:12
they'll never have seen it, but the Dukes of Hazard opened with, generally, there'd be a car chase and a man's voice who we now find out is Waylon Jennings, a country singer and the man who walked out of Lionel Richie's We Are The World session.
7:12 - 7:22
Is that right? From the movie that I watched a few weeks ago. The tense of it was he'd be like, well, those boys seem to have got themselves in an awful pickle.
7:22 - 7:28
Like it was always, he dropped you. What was the show where you saw the crime being committed at the start?
7:28 - 7:37
Columbo. So similarly, I think, yeah, Dukes of Hazard just dropped you straight into whatever the pickle was this week.
7:37 - 7:43
I have been doing a few Waylon Jennings, just walking along. Well, you were, that's the little thing.
7:43 - 7:50
It's really fun. Sean says, well, just you have to do it in Ross Noble's line when he went, BB King did super Ted.
7:50 - 7:59
Christ, I thought I was going to pass out laughing at that. And Simon says, please do a spinoff series of former hostages being interviewed after Through the Keyhole.
7:59 - 8:05
Yeah, it went, it went in lots of directions as we'd imagine the Ross Noble episode would, but yeah, thank you to Ross and John.
8:05 - 8:11
This is, Charles says, really Max's terrible music taste and his love of Top Loader may have been overstated.
8:11 - 8:15
I don't know. On the Ross Noble, I love him. Could I think of another song?
8:15 - 8:20
By Top Loader? By Top Loader. There isn't another song. No, there is. I can think, I can hear it now.
8:20 - 8:28
I think it's called Achilles, Achilles Heel. I think there's one called Achilles Heel. I think I can, I'm the only person that can name another Top Loader song.
8:28 - 8:35
There's a, Chance, because they're so synonymous with that one song. Who sang, I like to move it, move it?
8:35 - 8:42
Innie Camozzi. And then afterwards, the follow-up was called, come on, move it. I think, you know what I mean?
8:42 - 8:48
So it's a possible Top Loader stuck with the moonlight. Oh, I see. And it was like sitting in the moonlight.
8:48 - 8:55
In the same way, the Vengaboys oeuvre seems quite narrow, doesn't it? Charles says, Remax's terrible music taste and his love of Top Loader.
8:55 - 8:59
On the Ross Noble episode, I noted the references to the Baha men and letting the dogs out.
9:00 - 9:09
Just letting you know, hi Baha men, I just did it. Is Max aware that Dancing in the Moonlight was originally a hit for the Baha men in the early 90s?
9:09 - 9:14
Circle is complete, everything is showbiz. I can't be true, can he? No. It's got to be nonsense.
9:14 - 9:21
No, that's nonsense. Dancing in the Moonlight was Dancing in the Moonlight. Now, I think it was King Crimson originally.
9:21 - 9:29
Oh, hang on. Dancing in the Moonlight, sung by the Baha men, 1994. Was it in the same style as Who Let the Dogs Out?
9:30 - 9:33
I don't know. I'm going to listen to it now, and I'll let you know.
9:33 - 9:47
Oh, that's very nice. Wow. Ex-listers, I've never seen Max smile like this. You can't knock it.
9:47 - 9:55
Okay, look, we're in legally shaky ground if you play more than 10 seconds of it.
9:55 - 9:59
Imagine if the podcast was closed down because we were sued by the Baha men.
10:00 - 10:10
With their song, Who Let the Moon Light Out? The court hears, in the famous case of Baha men versus What Did You Do Yesterday, 2025.
10:10 - 10:21
We are defended. Our barrister is Ross Noble. The opening, the opening, the Baha men are dead by the time he finishes his opening address to the court.
10:21 - 10:32
25 years later, I know a way to get out of this one, lads. And he goes, well, you got yourself into an awful little pickle now, you boys.
10:32 - 10:44
RW says, hello, Mars Bar, Max and David. I know a lot of people listen to this podcast for anecdotes about 90s footballers, reviews of men's underpants or gutter and railing repair tips.
10:44 - 10:52
One of my absolute favorite features, however, is when Max and David ask female guests questions as though it's their first time encountering a human woman.
10:52 - 10:59
I really appreciate how dedicated David and Max are to shining a light on the mysterious world of the ladies.
10:59 - 11:05
Some examples of these heart-hitting journalist inquiries include, are you sad when you have to take your makeup off for bed?
11:05 - 11:11
How do you get mascara off? A chisel? What's it like when you don't wear a bra?
11:11 - 11:17
Can you use your bra as a holder for other stuff? And how do you solve a tortoise's constipation with a vibrator?
11:17 - 11:25
Classic girly conundrums. I would say, he says, it makes me laugh every time. Thank you guys for using your platform to raise awareness of what ladies do.
11:25 - 11:33
Love the pod. Keep up the great work. You'd imagine I would be guiltier of these very basic questions, but I feel like most of those questions are questions that you, David,
11:33 - 11:39
have asked. I do remember asking about why don't you store more things in your bra?
11:39 - 11:49
And the mental image I had was beside my bed a bra hook with just the bra at night with, you know, wallet and keys sitting in it.
11:49 - 12:10
Oh God, that sounds awful. I mean, Sounds terrible. Fans of our household DIY tips will enjoy that the other day I tore the sole off my very cool old AstroTurf Copa football boots because we've been playing a lot of football here.
12:10 - 12:15
It just, it went flappy but it went flappy from the back not the front which is very unusual.
12:15 - 12:20
It gives you some idea of the number of back heels that I've been doing very unconventional.
12:20 - 12:28
So I got Araldite, our old friend, a glue that is so dangerous. It has to come in two tubes.
12:28 - 12:33
Oh yeah, yeah. And the warnings are ridiculous about do not get it near you.
12:33 - 12:38
Yeah. Basically wear a space suit while you do it. So I fixed the shoes.
12:38 - 12:48
I think I'm going to play football this afternoon and find out. Okay. But I've also got it on my leg and that is six days ago and it's still there.
12:48 - 12:54
All right. Are you glued to anything? Are you stuck to the fence? Are you stuck in one of your railings?
12:54 - 12:59
I'm not stuck to anything more. It's just like a tattoo that I didn't want.
12:59 - 13:08
It's just a clear, crispy piece of glass on my leg. I'd quite like just a weekly update of when it comes off so we can know for the tape.
13:08 - 13:16
When you're glued, when you're araldite free. Ella says, Dear Generic Man 3 at DOD, long time listener, first time emailing in as I could not let this pass.
13:16 - 13:24
As an Edinburgh local, David's day last week was highly anticipated as I got excited to hear about his antics around Brunsfield Pitch and Putt and which pubs he likes to go to.
13:24 - 13:32
However, his comment that he had to go home to change out of shorts before his show because he couldn't possibly do a live show in shorts was like a stab to the heart.
13:32 - 13:35
I'd gone along to his show just a week before and what was he wearing?
13:35 - 13:40
Shorts. I realize everything is showbiz, but does this also mean everything is a lie?
13:40 - 13:44
How do you plead? Okay, I'll tell you what's going on here. What's going on, David?
13:44 - 13:52
So this is the most tropical Edinburgh fringe that I've known in the 20-something odd fringes that I've been to.
13:52 - 13:58
People come to my show, I think, just to beat the searing intensity of the Scottish sun.
13:59 - 14:12
And, yes, these episodes, that one had been broadcast a few days before, well, obviously it was recorded before it was broadcast, but I did indeed wear a pair of shorts to a gig then
14:12 - 14:25
a few days later. But people almost understood because it was so warm outside. I got criticism because we did the Football Weekly Premier League predictions in a studio.
14:25 - 14:32
We normally just do it on Zoom. And I was wearing shorts and I got told off for wearing shorts because you told me not to wear shorts when doing a live show.
14:32 - 14:39
I slightly felt like that wasn't fair, but I understand. One more before they're just normal countries.
14:39 - 14:43
Colin says, a new BOC category. Dear David and Max, I'll cut to the chase.
14:43 - 14:50
There's no reason to think we need to wait 32 years to experience the BOC. May I remind that you both have a multitude of live shows over the next few weeks.
14:50 - 14:57
I'll run the numbers. DOD, 15 shows, 500 people. I assume 50-50, able, unable to contribute to BOC.
14:57 - 15:08
3,750 depositors. What did you do yesterday? Live, Hackney Empire. 1,268 people. Assume 50-50, 634 deposits. Guardian Football Weekly Live, 2,100 people.
15:08 - 15:16
99% able to contribute based on my previous experience of live shows in Dublin. 2,079 deposits. Total, 6,463.
15:16 - 15:31
32 years times 365 equals 11,680 deposits. Oh my goodness. If everyone could therefore contribute before and after each show, assuming a second deposit has only 80% volume of the first, then we have 11,633.
15:31 - 15:37
The 47 shortfall could be made up by some previous show contributors currently hanging around Edinburgh and a few from yourselves and Mars Bar, sorted.
15:37 - 15:48
Thanks, Colin. We've filled the bath, guys. Oh my goodness. I think it does affect things if you say to each person who's come along before and after.
15:48 - 15:54
You know, because some people say, you know, for example, they say, I know, Dad, you don't listen to this podcast, but I think you'll really like it.
15:54 - 16:00
When they enter and then they send you into a booth, it's just for a thing.
16:00 - 16:06
Go with it, Dad. It's fine. I do, however, support it being abbreviated to BOC.
16:06 - 16:12
Yeah, I think so. There's a BOC reference in my day, actually, which we'll get to shortly.
16:12 - 16:19
Oh my goodness. Ladies and gentlemen. I didn't do it. There's no bath in this flat.
16:19 - 16:33
Anyway, let's play there. Just Normal Countries. Yes. I am the one and only What country could I be?
16:33 - 16:45
I am the one and only Where in the world could our listeners be? So here we are.
16:45 - 16:50
Previous guesses. If you remember, a while ago, Mars Bar said there are six countries with just one listen.
16:50 - 16:58
And so we've embarked on a global journey to find out what they are through your guesses.
16:58 - 17:02
And no one's got it right. Winner stays on. So hopefully someone gets all six.
17:02 - 17:14
Just imagine. Just imagine. Incorrect guesses so far. Madagascar, Namibia, Costa Rica, Uganda, North Korea, Guyana, the Northern Marianas Islands, Bhutan, Brunei, Nepal, Eswatini, US Virgin Islands and Equatorial Guinea.
17:14 - 17:23
13 weeks of wrong. I know. Do you think, so four months in, someone should have got a sniff.
17:23 - 17:31
And because clues have been banned by 50% of this presentation, like are we getting any closer?
17:31 - 17:37
Four months in, are we getting any closer to one correct answer? Eric in Cork.
17:37 - 17:41
Hi, Max, David and Mars Bar, I'm loving the Just Normal Countries challenge at the moment.
17:41 - 17:46
At the moment. Yeah, it's a long moment. The logic for my guess is as follows.
17:46 - 17:51
It's tiny, tucked away, and I can totally imagine just one curious person stumbling across your podcast there.
17:51 - 17:55
For those reasons, my guess is San Marino. Looking forward to hearing if I'm right.
17:55 - 18:06
Over to Mars Bar, San Marino. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Eric in cork.
18:06 - 18:16
He's on a roll. One listen in San Marino. That's amazing. That surprises me. I would have thought we were bigger in San Marino.
18:16 - 18:22
Where is San Marino? In Italy? It's in Italy. It's in Italy, yeah. Is it on the border with Austria or somewhere like that?
18:22 - 18:27
No, I think it's landlocked San Marino within Italy. Did they once score the first goal against Italy?
18:27 - 18:35
To England in a match. Yes, it was a back pass from Stuart Pearce that just he under hit.
18:35 - 18:42
It's near Rimini. Ravenna. And not a million miles from Florence. But there we are.
18:42 - 18:50
Our first. Eric stays on. It's so exciting. Congratulations, Eric. This is good. This is good podcasting now.
18:50 - 18:57
I take it all back. Do you think this is a breakthrough we needed? I think the sheer amazement, people will be amazed around the world now.
18:57 - 19:01
Wow. Is it still at one? San Marino? Do we know? I will check now.
19:01 - 19:12
I'd also like to know if in mentioning it, I mean, it's difficult how that would provoke other residents of San Marino to listen to it because if they'd listened to this,
19:12 - 19:15
they would already be listening to it. Do you know what I mean? That's true.
19:15 - 19:22
Well, yes, and also one, it was quite interesting to know which episode is the one listen, you know, the one person in San Marino who listened to once.
19:22 - 19:27
Is it just someone passing through? I do wonder if this will lead to people guessing.
19:27 - 19:35
Are there kind of principalities? Like Monaco, Monte Carlo will intrigue me. I'd say we have more listens there.
19:35 - 19:42
Because we are such a luxury podcast, I think we're enormous in Monaco. How many listens in San Marino, please, Mars Bar?
19:42 - 19:47
Since we started this podcast, we have had a total of two listens to San Marino.
19:47 - 19:52
So it's increased by one since we started this quiz. It's 100% increase. So we've got to be happy with that.
19:52 - 20:02
Okay, it's my day. It's my day. Hang on. Congratulations to Eric and Cork. So we need Eric now in order to keep this going.
20:02 - 20:11
We have to hope he's listened to this episode. I hope he doesn't guess. This is the flaw of maybe the worst idea for a game ever.
20:11 - 20:17
I think it's really good now is if I don't want Mars Bar to message Eric, I want us to wait.
20:17 - 20:21
And if he doesn't, then we're just looking. It is like this. It's looking for Eric too.
20:21 - 20:26
And we're just quite waiting for Eric. And we're hoping that, you know, that he's still with us.
20:27 - 20:34
It's quite a high risk strategy given that this episode goes out on a Wednesday and we record next week's bonus the following morning.
20:34 - 20:39
So it's a very small window to consume and then reply. Eric's got to be a big fan.
20:39 - 20:42
Eric's got to be a big fan. And if there's nothing for Eric, we just have to, we have to front up.
20:42 - 20:49
We've got to be honest. And could any of our Cork listeners who know anyone called Eric, please text them on the app.
20:49 - 21:01
If you know anyone called Eric in Cork or if you're from Cork, if there's a local radio station in Cork, could we go there and go on the breakfast show on Thursday morning and say,
21:01 - 21:07
we desperately need all the Erics to just guess a country, some email, this email addressing the country.
21:07 - 21:11
Because I think we'll accept a guest from someone else called Eric from Cork. That's what I'd say.
21:11 - 21:21
Okay, fine. If Roy Keane is listening to this, the spiritual leader of Cork, could you, I mean, it's a small chance it's Eric Cantona, isn't it?
21:21 - 21:31
That Keane and Cantona have moved to Cork. Eric's an avid listener to this. And he has guessed San Marino, in which case you're still in play.
21:31 - 21:39
Still in play, Eric Cantona. Right. Any questions for me, David? I have one question.
21:39 - 21:47
Max Rushden, what did you do yesterday? Okay, so let's begin at 5 a.m. There's movement.
21:47 - 21:56
Okay, there's a movement. Everyone's awake, but we're not officially awake. I'm definitely horizontal until six, which is pretty good.
21:56 - 22:02
Yeah. Okay. And now at 6 a.m., I'm in the daybed. Willie now recently has been put in a cot.
22:02 - 22:10
He's doing very well. Great. Okay. But by this point, between five and six, he'd gone into mama-dada bed with mama.
22:10 - 22:16
So I'm alone in the daybed. This is a wonderful place to be. To be alone is the dream, right?
22:16 - 22:22
And so I'm alone. I am beckoned. I'm required to take some of the load, is the direct quote.
22:22 - 22:26
And I'm sad, but I believe it is my duty to take some of the load.
22:27 - 22:32
So the family are all, there's me, there's Jamie, there's Ian, there's Willie. We're all lying on the bed.
22:32 - 22:38
Ian jumps off to play some Hot Wheels. Jamie announces she wants a shower. Fine.
22:38 - 22:42
And the shower, to be clear, is a real, it's like an oasis of calm.
22:42 - 22:50
If you're in the shower, you could, sometimes I bring Willie and sort of lie him on the bath mat, but really you close the door.
22:50 - 23:00
Jamie is alone and shower time is big for Jamie. Interruption. Is this the bathroom that is filled with Soccer AM glory years memorabilia?
23:00 - 23:05
No, no, no. We're in a, my flat is, we're not in my flat. Oh, we moved.
23:05 - 23:12
No, no, no. We've been here. We've been in London Fields for a while. We were only in my flat for about three days and it's rented out.
23:12 - 23:23
So that's why we're here. I have a tricky one of those today because I'm in a rented property for a huge sum of money with Nish and Salia and various alumni of this podcast.
23:23 - 23:31
And I bought a, commemorative Stephen Roche winning the 1987 Tour de France t-shirt on eBay.
23:31 - 23:38
Of course you did. And had it sent to this address and after much to-ing and fro-ing, it never arrived.
23:38 - 23:49
The courier has said they've left it with flat two in this building. I have the situation where flat two has it but has made no effort to reach out to me.
23:49 - 23:52
Okay. You know what I mean? So you've got to go down to flat two.
23:52 - 23:56
So I'm going to play this fool character which is just like, oh, thank you.
23:56 - 24:03
Thank you so much, brackets for not telling me that you had this cool 1987 Giro d'Italia commemorative T-shirt.
24:03 - 24:11
What if you want, they answer the door and they're wearing it? I point to the aural diet on my legs and I say, this is bulletproof.
24:11 - 24:17
Let's rumble. Let's go. Okay. So Jamie's in the shower. She's in a happy place, right?
24:17 - 24:25
I'm looking after the kids. Great. Willie needs a nappy change, but that's fine. You just whip it off, whip a new one on.
24:25 - 24:29
But I have got a bit of a cold so I didn't notice they'd done a massive shit.
24:29 - 24:35
And it's not one that has been, the nappy sometimes does its job and sometimes it doesn't.
24:35 - 24:41
And this one is up the back. It's on the carpet. It's on his clothes.
24:41 - 24:45
It's on my hands. Ian's getting involved. I'm like, Ian, get away from this situation.
24:45 - 24:49
We don't need you here. This is the bomb disposal unit. You're not useful in this situation.
24:49 - 24:55
He's driving the hot wheels through it. Exactly. He's set the loop, the loop to land in the feces.
24:56 - 25:02
It's a tricky situation because you've got to take the kind of onesie off Willie.
25:02 - 25:06
But as you do stretch over his head, you're basically smearing it up his back.
25:06 - 25:09
And as you're smearing it up his back and then he goes down on the...
25:09 - 25:12
I should have laid a towel out, but I didn't think it was a number two.
25:12 - 25:15
I just thought it was just a, you know, whip it off, whip it on.
25:15 - 25:20
Cut a long story short, Jamie's beautiful shower. That was a pretty long story. It's all right.
25:20 - 25:26
So then, and Jamie really likes the shower and I like to let her just enjoy it.
25:26 - 25:30
I never, I go, you know, have you done in there? Which is generally what happens as soon as I go into the toilet.
25:30 - 25:37
I arrive holding just a shit smeared baby because I've got to put it somewhere and the shower is a good place for it to go.
25:37 - 25:45
Right? So then we put Willie in a tough wear box. We deal with this situation.
25:45 - 25:58
Sorry, could you just get a baby in this situation and just reverse it, put the water on in the shower and reverse the baby in and have the water and the water is simply just clean.
25:58 - 26:02
Yeah. I mean, it's a bit of it needs some rubbing, but generally that's what we do.
26:02 - 26:09
And, you know, so Jamie's still having her warm shower. It's just, there's a baby in a Tupperware box in front of her and we're both rubbing away, rubbing away.
26:09 - 26:16
So then I think Max, I think I'd like that. I think I'd love to be lifted, but first, I see.
26:16 - 26:19
Yeah. Oh yeah. Willie, you don't want to be one of the people doing it.
26:19 - 26:30
No, no. And let me say, I like you, David, but if you ever find you in this situation, I'm not lifting you into a giant Tupperware box with my bare hands to rub your own poo off your back.
26:30 - 26:35
I'm a 16 stone man. We would need some big boys to lift me. We need Osman.
26:35 - 26:45
Who's another? Dara O'Briain. Dara Osman and Joe Wilkinson. They don't realize the job. That's a new reality show on channel five.
26:45 - 26:51
Isn't it? Push the boat out for Dara. He's front. And then I was no Osman, I suppose.
26:51 - 27:00
It's tricky that I mean, it's well cast, isn't it? Okay. Okay. So, so, so that's good.
27:00 - 27:09
Jamie deals then with Willie. I deal with the carpet just in case David, who we're renting this flat from, I sort of exaggerated how much is on the carpet.
27:09 - 27:13
I've got, I've got the fairy liquid in there. I mean, I'm having a good old guy.
27:13 - 27:19
It looks good as new. We're all downstairs. There's calm. Both Jamie and I have what is known as a holding yogurt.
27:19 - 27:23
Cause we're going to go out for breakfast, but it might be a while away.
27:23 - 27:30
Cause you know, wrangling the kids takes well. So you just have a little holding yogurt, just to self, you know, keep the wall from the door.
27:30 - 27:34
I get, I get my hemp and flax seeds in there and in a bit of honey.
27:34 - 27:38
And it's, it's nice. And I'm watching match of the day. Okay. Because I've got work later.
27:38 - 27:42
I need to take notes on match of the day. Ian is watching just in time.
27:42 - 27:52
Sorry, interruption for some of our listeners. This is a significant cultural moment because former alumnus is alumnus.
27:52 - 28:00
The singular one of the podcast, Gary Lineker. This is the first match of the day that he hasn't hosted for 25 years.
28:00 - 28:10
Once again, everything is showbiz. Everything is showbiz. It's a Mark Chapman hosting. He's had a new buzz cut and I, I preferred him with slightly longer hair, but he's a brilliant broadcaster.
28:10 - 28:17
So it's okay. Ian is watching just in time, but we've pressed a button, which means the TV doesn't work, but the projector does.
28:17 - 28:24
So he's basically, you don't see our kids watching too much TV. He's now watching YouTube cartoons on a cinema screen.
28:26 - 28:31
And Willie, who's too young to look at screens. I don't show screens to anyone under like two and a half or something.
28:31 - 28:35
He is just transfixed and you know, it's difficult because we've got things to do.
28:35 - 28:43
We all get ready. We all get dressed. I cycle Ian on my one bike with its new thick tire.
28:43 - 28:47
Cause it got a puncture on the way home from the pub on Wednesday night.
28:47 - 28:52
Great. To E5 Bakehouse. It's a nice cafe and we get black coffees. I have scrambled eggs.
28:52 - 28:59
We play animal bingo, which is you each have a card with some animals, and you put the, you know, the cards upside down and you go walrus.
28:59 - 29:04
Who's got the walrus? It's, you know, Jamie. It's an idyllic, it's an idyllic scene.
29:04 - 29:12
Yes. What's the most obscure animal? Walrus is pretty obscure. I'm impressed by that. I think the porcupine is pretty.
29:12 - 29:18
Wow. You're not encountering one of those IRL. No, not in, not in London Fields.
29:18 - 29:23
There are lots of, do you see some foxes here? Some urban foxes. And there's a lot of urban fox poo around.
29:23 - 29:27
Yeah. Which, you know, that, you know, you wheel that on the, and then you wheel the pram inside.
29:27 - 29:33
I'm just, David, in case you're listening, we thoroughly clean the pram before we bring it into your lovely red suit.
29:33 - 29:39
Have you had any more sightings of James Acaster? No, it's still two, it's still two nil to Jamie at this.
29:39 - 29:42
Cause I want to bump into him and say, look, we've got a live show.
29:42 - 29:51
Could you just do 10 seconds? You know, you're nervous about, you know, my ideas, you know, I think he would, you know, I've got a role for him and I think it could be good for him.
29:51 - 29:59
Now at some point, Jamie and I are chatting away and we're having a nice time, but generally the conversation, always comes around to, I wish I could go to work and just,
29:59 - 30:04
you know, sit in a radio studio and just chat some shit. And you can look after the kids.
30:04 - 30:11
And I go, I know, I understand there's nothing I can do. And I can't remember why I said I was, you know, I was good company at some point.
30:11 - 30:17
I said, I was good company. And she said, great quote. I think people with podcasts think they're good company was a line that she said.
30:17 - 30:22
It was at this point I announced that it was my yesterday. And she was like, Oh fuck, fuck sake.
30:22 - 30:33
So do you think she, she thinks that you use up all your bon homie or whatever that word is in the podcast.
30:33 - 30:40
And then you're just, uh, I'm doing the podcast. I never just science in silence for five minutes.
30:40 - 30:46
That is true. And occasionally in real life, I do. I try not to do it too much, but you know, that does occasionally happen in real life.
30:46 - 30:50
Okay. So then I cycle Ian to normal park, which is one of the playgrounds in London field.
30:50 - 30:57
It's not very far. Jay has 20 minutes to herself. So I push, uh, both again, kids on swings.
30:57 - 31:02
Great. Willie's learning the swing is pretty good at it, but he's got a three year headstart.
31:02 - 31:09
So that's fair. Uh, Ian attempts quite a difficult climbing frame, which I can't really help him with because I'm holding Willie.
31:09 - 31:15
So yeah, that's tricky. I then cycle to talk sport. Uh, it is the warmup with Max Rushden and Barry Glendenning.
31:15 - 31:22
I like to mainly host shows with a genial Irishman and Barry fulfills that role very well.
31:22 - 31:31
We'd be doing that show for 13 years. Now the show, it's 11 till one, but it's been moved to 11 to one 30 as of last year, maybe.
31:31 - 31:39
So we spend most of the show complaining about having to do the last half hour and occasionally people texting going, I don't often listen to radio shows where people complain about being at work to do that.
31:39 - 31:42
We are trying to, we'll get into the last half hour of the show soon.
31:42 - 31:49
Anyway, before I get there, I go into a little cafe. Absolute, this is vintage one for the purists, Cortado moment.
31:49 - 31:54
So I asked for a Cortado here, right? Which is a, which is what I want.
31:54 - 32:01
A very short flat white. And I say, I want it really short, please. And the person I'm ordering it from says, absolutely really short.
32:01 - 32:07
That's great. But she's not making the coffee. So when the coffee arrives, it's basically a full flat white and I don't just take it and fume.
32:07 - 32:10
I say, I'm really, really sorry. I asked for a small, much smaller than that.
32:10 - 32:17
She is, looks, she looks like I've just killed her family. She's probably, she doesn't have shares in this cafe, but it matters to me.
32:17 - 32:20
So she makes me one in a tiny little cup. It's perfect. I say, thank you.
32:20 - 32:26
I'm so effusive with thanks for getting what I asked for, but she literally doesn't want to give me the time of day.
32:26 - 32:30
She, she just wants me to get out of there. Yeah. Not a listener, not a listener.
32:30 - 32:33
Definitely not a listener. So obviously I went and gave them five stars on Google.
32:33 - 32:38
I didn't actually, I gave the talk sport. I say hello to everyone. Barry's there.
32:38 - 32:41
He tells me about his week. He had quite a Thursday that we just can't go into.
32:41 - 32:48
But we laughed that it would make an extraordinary start to a radio show. But I don't, there's any way of me getting, I'll tell you afterwards.
32:48 - 32:54
And if anyone sees me, I'll tell you the story. It's my ninth show in a row, but I'm absolutely flying.
32:54 - 32:58
Ninth as in ninth day in a row. I did the afternoon show all week.
32:58 - 33:02
So I do Saturday, Sunday, and I've done the one till four all week as well as, you know, other podcasty stuff.
33:02 - 33:06
Now, Charlie Baker, friend of the podcast comes in because he's now doing Virgin Radio two till six.
33:06 - 33:10
And he has this idea. Oh, there's one moment I really liked from the show, a text.
33:10 - 33:19
The text has just had a baby, much like the Shipleys. And so I'm introducing my son, my, my, you know, two week old to Talksport for the first time.
33:19 - 33:23
And he sort of sees our show as a kind of, it's a bit like an allergen test for a baby.
33:23 - 33:29
You have to give them a tiny bit of peanut on their lip. You know, before you go, full talk sport, you, you let them have like five minutes of me.
33:29 - 33:33
They might go into anaphylactic shock, in which case the rest of the station is not for them.
33:33 - 33:39
So it's, it's nice that we're giving a listener their first, you know, their first experience of talk sport.
33:39 - 33:43
The show is as you expect, but Charlie's come, which comes in and he's great.
33:43 - 33:50
And I do the Saturday show with him, but he's got, he's going to be in every week at one o'clock in the half hour that we don't want, but we like between the three of us,
33:50 - 33:52
we can come up with a feature. And he came up with an idea for a show.
33:52 - 34:08
Yeah. And I've already a feature called squeaky bum time. The squeaky bum time to explain to people who may not know premiership football is generally used to describe the last few minutes or maybe injury time in a match.
34:08 - 34:13
I think Sir Alex Ferguson was the first to refer to it as sort of the end of the season.
34:13 - 34:18
You know, it's really coming up to the end of the season, but in a game, yeah, if it's a tight game anyway, his feature is this.
34:18 - 34:25
And I'm just like, this costs me in a bad light. I think because a lot of this podcast is sort of around the bottom area.
34:25 - 34:36
And I don't think my, my broadcasting career up to this point has been that his idea for a radio quiz is somebody gets a premier league footballer to record a fart.
34:36 - 34:44
And then we have to spend the season guessing who's done it. So we spent 10 minutes discussing if this is a good idea or not.
34:44 - 34:50
And actually how on earth would you do it? What's the process of going Virgil van Dijk?
34:50 - 34:54
Thanks for your time. Would you mind just one more thing? Who are we going to say?
34:54 - 34:57
Cause we can't be us doing it. Me, Barry too. So we have to guess, don't we?
34:57 - 35:02
Anyway, I think, I think it's a great idea for a radio feature, but I just can't quite.
35:02 - 35:08
Nina in Emsworth texts in to say, please stop talking about this. If you're better than this.
35:08 - 35:15
Yeah. You'd have a difficulty as well in that, you know, if you just got a premiership footballer to burp, they might do that.
35:15 - 35:20
But you'd have to feed them a bowl of chili or something first. They're not ready.
35:20 - 35:25
I have to wait for now, like a doping test. Yeah. And then somebody says, it was like the mystery voice.
35:25 - 35:33
You need three. Don't you? You know, anyway, one 30, I cycle home. Jamie's not had a dream morning with the kids.
35:33 - 35:39
It's fair to say. So I get them both. She goes out. I collect picnic stuff, chairs.
35:39 - 35:45
She's made a fruit salad. We've got crisps and dip and hummus. Ian's on his balance bike.
35:45 - 35:51
Got a Willie in the carrier. I'm pushing a pram full of stuff. We set up for a picnic.
35:51 - 35:58
Who's coming? Matt, Rachel, their kids, Polly and Isaac, all pod listeners, all pod listeners.
35:58 - 36:02
Matt says the kids don't listen to midweek mayhem, which he's pleased about because of BOC.
36:02 - 36:09
Rachel asks what BOC is. Matt just palms it off. We don't need their Isaac and Polly to know what BOC is.
36:09 - 36:20
I love the idea that one of your children asks to look at a screen, but unfortunately now it's moved on from phone or iPad and just wants the projector taken to the park.
36:20 - 36:25
It's the full screen put up. Ellie and Matt are coming as well with their daughter.
36:25 - 36:30
And Ian really gets on with their daughter. And that's very exciting. They announced it's my yesterday.
36:30 - 36:38
Ellie is very excited. She's a bit behind. But she says she doesn't like listening to this while I'm in the country because she feels she can just talk to me.
36:38 - 36:41
But when I'm in Australia, she likes to find out what's going on. These are my friends from school.
36:41 - 36:48
And the big news is that Matt met friend of the podcast, Alex Horn, on his holiday to Costa Rica.
36:48 - 36:55
And Matt's son went for lunch with the Horns because I think his son plays football with Matt's son.
36:55 - 37:00
Isn't that interesting? Small world, everything is showbiz. But they play a guessing game. Matt says, you're no longer the most famous person on my phone.
37:00 - 37:06
Who is it? And I get it pretty quickly as it goes. Do you want me to try and guess?
37:06 - 37:10
No, it's Alex Horn. Oh, of course. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. It's an easy quiz for you.
37:10 - 37:14
I've just told you the answers. I'm not interested in, I'm not even interested in easy quizzes.
37:14 - 37:19
It's really fun. Ian falls off his bike on a skiddy turn, a bit like a speedway turn.
37:19 - 37:24
He's sad about that. I take Willie for a nap. I buy four cans of Peroni.
37:24 - 37:29
Feels right. And a bottle of San Pellegrino for Jamie. One for each of the kids.
37:29 - 37:37
Yeah. For each of the kids. And so I take Willie for a nap. While I'm away, Ian falls off his bike two more times and slips on the football.
37:37 - 37:43
But he's having a good time. Oh, no. Jamie and I swap. She takes Willie for the next, it's a half hour nap for the next 15 minutes.
37:43 - 37:48
But look, we're playing catch. We're playing football. We're listening to Matt's cool music. It's pretty idyllic.
37:48 - 37:51
It's a beautiful day. Ian has learned bike tricks. I sent you the video. Yeah.
37:51 - 37:57
He's learned kind of cool bike tricks that he hasn't, hasn't quite got around. But it's a little bit Pete Townsend from The Who.
37:57 - 38:01
He's like hurling his bike on the floor, like smashing it to pieces. It's great stuff.
38:01 - 38:10
Yeah. It does seem like, would he have seen Freestyle BMX somewhere? Because he's holding the handlebars and sort of swizzling the whole bike around.
38:10 - 38:14
I think Isaac has taught him a lot of these tricks in the afternoon. Because Isaac's 12.
38:14 - 38:17
So, you know, that's where he's learned it from. But it's great. We're, you know, we're having a good time.
38:17 - 38:23
Catches. What a game catches. Yeah. You know, fun for all the family. We can take that on Dragon's Den.
38:23 - 38:30
Catch. Let's see. If we can paint it. There is a point. Matt and Rach's family were playing a game when they were on holiday.
38:30 - 38:33
And it's sort of a categories game. And it was like, can you name 10 of these?
38:33 - 38:37
It's a bit like Family Fortuna, I guess. And the question was, can you name 10 dating apps?
38:37 - 38:41
And they were like, okay, can we name 10 dating apps? So, we're trying to name 10 dating apps.
38:41 - 38:49
No. Jamie said, so we're going, you know, Tinder, Tinder, Hinge, Binge, Bumble. Binge isn't one.
38:49 - 38:56
Yeah, Bumble. Binge is a great name for one. You're up for it. You don't get who it is.
38:56 - 39:03
You just want to go and go and go. It's like Grindr, but even more so.
39:03 - 39:14
Anyway, someone says Grindr. And then Ian, three and a half, says, what's Grindr? So, Jamie does a great sort of very calm answer to what Grindr is to Ian.
39:14 - 39:21
It was just a funny question. And here I had a question for Polly and Isaac specifically, but for Matt and Rachel as well.
39:21 - 39:29
When I was a kid, when I was about 12, the friends of my parents, that I liked the best were the ones that just handed me a 20 pound note.
39:29 - 39:35
You know, there were occasionally ones like that. Not often. I think Uncle Paul would just give me 10 pounds whenever I saw him.
39:35 - 39:38
I didn't see him very often. So, I see these guys probably once a year.
39:38 - 39:46
I was positing the question, to which the kids are very into it, but to Matt mainly was, would it be weird, because it feels weird to me, if every time I was to see my friend's kids,
39:46 - 39:53
who were about that age, you know, 12 and upwards, if I was to just give them 20 pounds, they would think I was the best one of all.
39:53 - 39:58
They would just, because you would, you'd be like, do you remember Max? He gave me, every time we saw him, he gave me 20 quid.
39:58 - 40:05
What a guy. But what are the ethics? Matt and Ray seemed to think it was sort of probably okay, but a bit odd.
40:05 - 40:12
The conclusion was it was a bit odd, because I'm not related to them. Like relations, yes, but friends, no.
40:12 - 40:16
But I don't see my friend's kids very often. So, I'm not going to be, I'm not going to be like impoverished by it.
40:16 - 40:21
If I moved back to the UK, I wouldn't do it. But it's rare. Fun Uncle Max.
40:21 - 40:26
He just always gave us 20 quid. Do you remember that? And years to come, you're creating your own legacy there.
40:26 - 40:32
To what end, though? Are you going to make them do a crime for you when they're 21?
40:32 - 40:38
No. Absolutely. There's no questions asked. This is a one-way transaction. They can do what they like with it.
40:38 - 40:43
They can buy sweets. I need you boys to go into Talksport. And I need you to take out the bus.
40:43 - 40:52
Oh, hang on. He listens to this podcast. Let's say we have no interest. Just to be clear, Liam, we have no interest in bumping you off.
40:54 - 41:11
There was John, a friend of my parents. He had a lovely thing when he came over for dinner with his wife, which was, I mean, the problem is this is the change era where change, because of inflation,
41:11 - 41:18
change was a lot of money. And he would reach into his pocket and he would just hand me a fist of coins.
41:18 - 41:31
Yeah, really good. While they were all having some boring dinner in the kitchen, I'd do little stacks and stacking coins is still, you know, you only need to do it about once every two years now
41:31 - 41:37
because I get so few coins. But I used to love, I always had towers of five peas.
41:37 - 41:42
I mean, at some point, I guess kids will just have a tappy-tappy machine. But at this stage.
41:42 - 41:50
A card reader. I'm lovely to see you, beep, over 20 pounds, please. So anyway, that was my sort of ethical question.
41:50 - 41:52
What am I trying to get out of it? I'm trying to be, you know, 20 years time.
41:52 - 41:57
They go, oh yeah, dreamer. Uncle May always gave us 20 quid. Okay, so the picnic is really love.
41:57 - 42:02
Have a lovely time. We're probably getting around six. So then it's sort of action stations.
42:02 - 42:06
We give Willie a bath and sink, which is a better place to put him than the bath.
42:06 - 42:11
Because he can't really, he can, he's just getting good at sitting, but he's not, he's not nailing it every time.
42:11 - 42:14
So if he's in the bath and he falls backwards, you know, that is a problem.
42:14 - 42:21
But here you can, you can have him in the sink. And if he falls either way, he gets caught by the side of the sink, but not in a kind of painful way.
42:21 - 42:30
I'd like that too. So we need to. Someone to make a giant sink. Richard Osman and Joe Wilkinson are making a giant sink.
42:30 - 42:36
And I am lowered into it. Ian has his second meal of peanut butter on toast.
42:36 - 42:42
I don't know how, I think nutritionists don't say two out of your three kids meals should be peanut butter on toast, but like.
42:42 - 42:47
Seems good. Seems like fairly healthy. I mean, let's face it. I'd love that. Absolutely delicious.
42:47 - 42:53
I then take Willie up to bed. Yeah. And he's in the cot. I think Jamie feeds him downstairs.
42:53 - 42:58
Must be six. Six 30 now. And actually goes down pretty quickly. This is a real game changer.
42:58 - 43:06
I mean, this is, this is unbelievable. Like Jamie doesn't have to feed him and like hold him for hours and lie in bed going, what am I doing in a dark room?
43:06 - 43:11
I'm there. It's great. It's down. Ian is now in the bath and Jamie says, oh, can you do Ian's bedtime?
43:11 - 43:16
And it's like, I've been stabbed in the eyes. Cause I was like, I was like, I've done Willie.
43:16 - 43:20
I've got to go downstairs. I've got some work to do. But you know, she did have him for like hours this morning.
43:20 - 43:24
And so I'm like, yeah, of course. I say, yeah, of course. But in my mind, I'm like, yeah, of course.
43:24 - 43:29
And I think, oh, shit it. I really just wanted to sit on the sofa.
43:29 - 43:37
When you say I have some work to do, it's literally I have to go and read about how many teaspoons it would take to fill a BOC.
43:37 - 43:43
No, no, that is, I mean, that is part of my own work. You're not wrong, but don't, David, Jamie's listening to this.
43:43 - 43:50
Don't belittle what this is, right? This is, you know, this is real work. So anyway, Ian is fine.
43:50 - 43:55
He's pretty tired. He'd rather mama does bedtime. He tries. A few of the tricks.
43:55 - 43:59
I'm hungry. I'm thirsty. I gave him some water, but I say, you know, breakfast is the next meal, mate.
43:59 - 44:07
I mean, you know, when a three and I've said this to you before, when they're here, three and a half years saying I'm hungry, you feel a bit bad, but he's had a lot of peanut butter a minute ago.
44:07 - 44:12
He's not hungry. He doesn't want a story. We're on captain underpants at the moment, but sometimes he wants all of captain underpants.
44:12 - 44:19
It's 120 pages. So like in a way, not pages is better. And then he sort of moans a bit.
44:19 - 44:22
Then he wants to take a digger to bed. Well, anyway, but then he just collapses.
44:22 - 44:38
Do you know what this reminds me? Every Ian bedtime reminds me of, do you know, in the world cup and say a semifinal where a player is being replaced on about 86 minutes and he hugs everyone.
44:38 - 44:45
He undoes his laces and does the backup again, every possible trick. He shakes the ref's hand.
44:45 - 44:53
He's absolutely right. Exactly that. So that's what's happening. Then like he's, we, we put blackout blinds on his window.
44:54 - 45:00
Just in case David is listening. We're not glued to him. It's okay. And then, but then he rips that open.
45:00 - 45:04
He can see it's too light outside. That's a problem. I might take it gets light and it's fine.
45:04 - 45:09
Eventually I sort of get him into a position where hopefully he'll fall asleep and then he falls asleep.
45:09 - 45:15
And then obviously I fall asleep. So then Jeremy gets me 15 minutes later. She has made sort of, we had meatballs the day before.
45:15 - 45:22
She's made like a meatball sub for dinner. It's absolutely great. I've eaten a lot of hummus and crap.
45:22 - 45:28
I probably don't need it, but I really love it. And it's got roasted tomatoes and manchego and a bit of salad.
45:28 - 45:34
And it's a really big baguette. Like it's hard. Like as you eat it, it's like it's falling out the bottom and that's it.
45:34 - 45:39
So then the projector's down, but when there's nothing on because we just haven't lifted up yet.
45:39 - 45:44
And I, we've just finished death in paradise the day before the next season. It's actually really quite gritty this season.
45:44 - 45:48
It's good. Dom Gile is a great, it's great. Yeah. It's a really good series.
45:48 - 45:53
I recommend it. I know you're laughing, but it's good stuff. Then I've got a match of the day on.
45:53 - 46:01
I've got the highlights. The afternoon's games on. I think I'm watching Man United Arsenal back pretty much in its entirety, which wasn't that interesting.
46:01 - 46:10
Jamie is asking me questions about next week. So I'm pausing and taking a headphone out and, and sort of probably not being as interested in the diary meeting.
46:10 - 46:14
I've got this, I've got to get this done. I'm tired. So we have a mix of a diary meeting.
46:14 - 46:19
So we're sort of aware of what's happening this week. I've finished watching that. I do the script for football weekly.
46:19 - 46:26
Then I get into the emails that we've read on this podcast today. So I put them in some sort of, what are I like the baby being born work?
46:26 - 46:29
Yeah. Lovely. It must be bedtime. I'm trying to think where I go to bed.
46:29 - 46:38
I think actually I get into bed with Jamie and this might be the first time that it's just the two of us in bed without a baby since Willie was born.
46:38 - 46:47
Wow. And so maybe that's a moment. And then when he wakes up, so then I go into that room and I sort of start, you know, I'm pacifying him.
46:47 - 46:53
I'm in that room. There is someone having a very loud club night somewhere and it's just too loud.
46:53 - 46:59
I do go onto the, any website to see how to report noise. But when you have to give your name and number, I can't be bothered.
46:59 - 47:02
I just think someone near, cause it's on the other side of the fields, but we can hear it.
47:02 - 47:10
I'm just thinking, please, somebody else must be pissed off with this. Yeah. And then eventually I, I collapsed before it goes off.
47:10 - 47:14
So that's fine. And that's probably the end of the, I'd say that's the end of the day.
47:14 - 47:20
I know she sometimes listens to this, but I would just like to show my appreciation for Jamie.
47:20 - 47:27
She's doing an amazing, like an unbelievable job. Like, I mean, it's not that she's the power behind the throne.
47:27 - 47:44
You know, it's not like a Melania Trump sort of vibe, but just to say thank you to Jamie so that we get to do these podcasts and he gets to read his emails about come and we can make people happy.
47:44 - 47:51
And sometimes people think by having people like John Robbins, one of our forthcoming guests, I'm very excited about as well.
47:51 - 47:59
Another episode we've recently recorded. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you, Max. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you, David.
47:59 - 48:03
Just before we finish, David, there's a England footballer on a comedian that you need to guess.
48:03 - 48:14
I'm going to say Peter Beardsley and Peter Kay. Neither of them are walking around Teddington.
48:14 - 48:19
Let's be real, David. Oh, sorry. Imagine a day where you saw Peter Beardsley and Peter Kay.
48:19 - 48:25
This is completely insane. Okay, fine. We're going to go. I guess. No, you're not allowed to guess.
48:25 - 48:34
My husband's allowed to guess. I'm going to have Milton Jones and Paul Merson. In many ways, I feel like that's the best guesses we've had so far.
48:34 - 48:40
The clues are there. The clues aren't there. I wonder if there's ever been any correspondence about this slot.
48:40 - 48:45
I would say no. Oh, no, no, no, no. Let me read it. I've got the correspondence from this slot.
48:45 - 48:52
It was from last week's. What did you say? Fergus writes, Max is the Andy Kaufman of light entertainment quizzing.
48:52 - 48:58
This is revealed by his glee at the idea of, being the only person who knows whether the answers to his footballer, comedian, double-sighting quiz are correct.
48:58 - 49:05
What did you do yesterday? It's just one big subversive quiz. And only Max knows the scoring answer to questions like, how did you eat the wagon wheel?
49:05 - 49:10
I'm certain his shed is full of score sheets, ranking every guest pinned to a league table, inching towards a semifinal.
49:10 - 49:15
No one will see. And the next comment is from Gavin, who says, Max, I don't make the rules.
49:15 - 49:21
You literally created the comedian footballer game. You have full control of the rules. Sounds like people are really enjoying it.
49:21 - 49:28
It doesn't, but, San Marino, we will always have San Marino. We'll always have San Marino.
49:28 - 49:32
