0:06 - 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?
0:26 - 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 - 0:37
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 guest got up to yesterday.
0:44 - 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 - 1:08
Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello, welcome to Midweek Mayhem. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday, I'm Max Rushden and he is David O'Doherty.
1:08 - 1:15
Welcome, David. It's very nice to be here in the middle of the week, not having to deal with some special guest.
1:16 - 1:21
Gross. They really get in the way, don't they? But also quite useful for growing the podcast.
1:21 - 1:25
Thank you, guests. They do this for nothing. Do you think we'll be able to phase them out at some point?
1:25 - 1:32
Yeah. And then we phase each other out and then do rival yesterdays, which are just us on our own.
1:32 - 1:37
Sorry, I shouldn't have said that out loud. The pod was when we release it exactly the same time.
1:38 - 1:43
And then we hate each other. And eventually we find ourselves a bit like Heat.
1:43 - 1:48
We're in that dark, dank sort of alleyway. I'm Al Pacino. You're Robert De Niro.
1:48 - 1:52
Or we're on the top of the train. You're Tommy Lee Jones. And I'm Harrison Ford.
1:52 - 1:57
And, you know, we're just there. It's exciting. I thought you said Heat. My first thought was like Heat magazine.
1:58 - 2:04
Oh, right. Celebrity magazine. And they're very different. Martin McCutcheon. And someone from Geordie Shore.
2:05 - 2:11
Now, listen, David. The podcast has fallen once again into crisis. Oh, no. Namastequila.
2:11 - 2:20
Friend of the pod. Has been in touch. Regards the Alison Spittle episode. A huge opportunity to play curdle with the cheese board Alison bought for her grandfather.
2:20 - 2:26
Not a single question about the cheeses. What have we become, David? How did we miss that?
2:26 - 2:35
Of all the podcasts in all the world, somebody gives us an open goal of, and then I got a cheese board and it just passed us by.
2:35 - 2:42
I have form for this. I have form. On Boxing Day 2024, I forgot about your cheese board.
2:42 - 2:56
But we should have between us. One of us. We can only apologize. And then the bit where Alison Spittle went to Teddington and saw a footballer and a comedian who was putting up posters for his gig.
2:56 - 3:05
And we just let that go. We didn't inquire as to who they were. She was like, it was weird because I walked past Ashley Cole and then I saw Phil Jupitus.
3:05 - 3:10
But I didn't put two and two together. Lots of positive feedback on the Ian Smith episode.
3:10 - 3:16
Remember the part of that podcast where she went to Ulaanbaatar and listened to our podcast.
3:17 - 3:29
Potentially becoming the first. And again, we just let it. Oh, yeah. Ulaanbaatar. Yeah. And then when she did this bit going, I've written a cover version of The One and Only by Chesney Hawks.
3:29 - 3:41
Do you want to hear it? We said, ah, nah. Don't worry about it. Annalise says, ah, a former flogsta screamer and present.
3:42 - 3:48
What did you do yesterday, lover? This is regards screaming in Sweden, which Ian Smith is driving to do because you can no longer fly.
3:48 - 3:53
I was part of this loud tradition as a student at Uppsala University in the 80s and 90s.
3:53 - 4:00
It's a daily occurrence at 10 p.m. The student high rise buildings, 12 floors in Flogsta also have roof terraces.
4:01 - 4:07
And sometimes during parties, people scream from there, but mostly just open the window in their rooms to scream out of it for a couple of minutes.
4:07 - 4:11
I look forward to the road trip documentary. So there we are. We found a screamer.
4:11 - 4:18
I look forward to you and Mrs. Rushden and your two wonderful children going on holidays to Uppsala.
4:18 - 4:30
And you just get the two kids asleep at around 9.50. This was literally the worst place in the world to come.
4:31 - 4:44
Fresh and Minty's been in touch regards swaps and sales. If you remember, we were trying to get a little unit for Ian to put his TV on in one of my favorite bits of the entire series of however many series.
4:44 - 4:55
We should end series three soon, I think. Shouldn't we start series four? But measuring the distance between his radiator and his bin really was just felt like such a high point for me.
4:55 - 5:05
Anyway, Fresh and Minty says, I've got the most beautiful TV entertainment unit perfect for storing a PlayStation, a selection of Blu-ray discs and having the TV and the lamp on top.
5:05 - 5:14
It's the perfect width to fit in Ian's gap. I'm willing to swap this unmissable piece of rare furniture for a desk lamp and a 2013 MacBook.
5:18 - 5:26
I did feel slightly guilty. Did you see the footage last week of a skip on fire?
5:26 - 5:35
It was while the backup, you know the way Ian loves to watch the bins flipping into the bin truck?
5:35 - 5:43
My Ian, not Ian Smith. Oh yes. To be clear. We didn't get Ian Smith's thoughts on when the rubbish truck arrives to take the rubbish.
5:43 - 5:51
Maybe he loves it, but yes. Yeah. And you'll know we're really short of guests when Ian Rushden appears on this show.
5:51 - 5:54
But yeah, there was footage of somewhere in England.
5:55 - 6:07
And I don't know if it was a laptop because I don't know if a laptop would do this, but the whole back of the bin truck on fire and the bin men looking at it in a way that implied it was about to explode.
6:07 - 6:18
And I do wonder if that was Ian Smith's local, like the tantalizing part where it said, warning, laptops.
6:18 - 6:25
And then he just couldn't read the rest. And I doubt it was, laptops are absolutely fine if they go in here.
6:25 - 6:31
Welcome here. No wasses. Joseph, and this is tricky, possibly a first for podcast corrections and clarifications.
6:31 - 6:41
I feel it's worth noting that Fred West wasn't one of the Moors murderers. So I do remember that bit.
6:42 - 6:53
It was the idea that Alex Ferguson would have Fred West sitting on the bench such that the refs would feel intimidated to give more injury time so much as United could score late.
6:53 - 7:01
Yeah. He says Fred and his wife were serial killers in Gloucestershire. I did have to look this up to confirm my search history is now slightly problematic.
7:01 - 7:06
Moving swiftly on. Jamie. No, that's the next bit of feedback. That's my wife. Jamie.
7:07 - 7:14
No. Sam says, Dear Generic Man 3, Michael D. Higgins and Mars Bar. You recently. The Irish president.
7:15 - 7:25
You recently asked for feedback on your live show at the Hackney Empire. I'm not saying your listenership is middle class, but on leaving the theater, I overheard a lady at the cloakroom asking for her jar of capers to be returned.
7:30 - 7:46
I'm sure that happens at motorhead gigs, Sam. I went to the gig in Leeds Academy and they thought I was a band because the stage was set up with a riser for a drum kit.
7:46 - 7:54
People hand you different keyboards, different tuned keyboards, mid gig. You know, Rody comes in and gives you a new keyboard that he's tuned up.
7:55 - 8:01
There were no seats out. So we had to then get seats. So they thought that it was just going to be a fully standing audience.
8:02 - 8:10
And then there were bouncers just everywhere. There was crush barriers in front. It's very funny in retrospect, but at the time it was very weird.
8:10 - 8:18
And also everyone was patted down coming in to see if they were smuggling either firearms, but probably just booze in.
8:18 - 8:24
My dressing room was too close to the entrance. And like you heard the bouncer be like, what's this, love?
8:25 - 8:29
And she was like, that's a bottle of Bronco Stop. Like, you know, the cough mixture.
8:31 - 8:41
That was as crazy as Team O'Doherty got in Leeds Academy. Do you remember when Nine Inch Nails had a problem with Benelyn and people bringing Benelyn in to Nine Inch Nails gigs?
8:41 - 8:47
Some feedback from Mrs. Rushden, David. Ah, shit. It's never good. Well, it's not from her, really.
8:48 - 8:53
It's that if you remember Malachy, who flew from New York to come to the gig and he had, I left you having a beer with him.
8:54 - 9:03
It's a nice guy. Yeah. But I called Ruth Jamie's best friend and Malachy is now annoyed that I called Ruth her best friend because he thinks he is her best friend.
9:04 - 9:09
And I think they're all 37 years old, so they should be past this, but I don't know.
9:09 - 9:15
I'm sorry. I haven't asked Jamie to give me the, I'll get her to give the top 10 friends and we can read it out.
9:15 - 9:19
Yeah. Maybe like in a videprinter or it comes out as a sort of a fax.
9:19 - 9:30
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Really good. Yeah. The end of all the president's men where it's like Nixon has resigned or whatever, except it's just her latest list of best friends.
9:30 - 9:35
Elizabeth writes, this is regards, what did you do yesterday being the center of the known universe?
9:35 - 9:38
Hello, Max and David. The other day I had a surreal moment because of your show.
9:38 - 9:42
I live in California. I was in a supermarket where some music was playing overhead.
9:42 - 9:46
I wasn't paying any attention to it until I started to hear something oddly familiar.
9:46 - 9:53
I stop and realize I'm hearing a version of the song that's used for guessing of the places where there's only one listener.
9:53 - 10:01
It was odd because the guy singing doesn't sound weird. I used Shazam to find out it's some guy called Chesney Hawks singing the one and only.
10:01 - 10:05
That song was never a hit here. And why it was playing in that story, I have no idea.
10:05 - 10:10
Until that time, I thought it was some song you guys came up with to introduce the segment.
10:10 - 10:14
It does go to prove that what did you do yesterday is indeed the center of the universe.
10:14 - 10:22
Keep up the great work. Everything is showbiz, Elizabeth. Isn't that amazing? There are people that don't know the Chesney Hawks one and only.
10:22 - 10:28
We joked about this on the podcast a few weeks ago that someone somewhere must think our version is the definitive version.
10:29 - 10:35
And then when they hear Chesney Hawks, they're like, this is off. This does not have the melancholy of the real version.
10:35 - 10:38
Edward says, dear Max, David and Mars Bar, but I've been putting off writing this email.
10:38 - 10:42
I can't resist it any longer. Do I have better things to do? Probably. Am I going to do them?
10:42 - 10:46
Probably not. A few weeks ago, DOD set out to paint the railings of his front garden.
10:46 - 10:56
He found a tin of Hammerite and proceeded to heap praise on the product. Unfortunately, just as sponsorship became a possibility, DOD praised the paint by quoting the catchphrase of Hammerite's main competitor.
10:56 - 11:08
It does exactly what it says on the tin, which is Ronseal. The ultimate irony is that DOD then proceeded not to do exactly what it says on the tin, ignoring most of the recommended preparations and watching rugby on the telly instead.
11:08 - 11:16
Love the podcast. Best wishes, Edward. Another one bites the dust. Re-sponsor. It's true. I think we could be sponsored by Ronseal and Hammerite.
11:17 - 11:26
Do you think in their two big advertising hubs, they're like, if you go near Hammerite, as Jeff Ronseal is saying, if you go near Hammerite once, you are dead to us.
11:27 - 11:37
You are dead to us. Now, last week, I had a lot of fun because I got you to guess the A to Z of the podcast that someone had done on the Reddit page.
11:38 - 11:43
And you struggle with H, which was the Helen Copter, your partner and the love of your life.
11:44 - 11:50
Forgot her. Because you say, what do I like? Beginning with H, hats. I don't know if Helen has listened to this episode.
11:50 - 11:54
I really enjoyed it. But then I challenged you to come up with an A to Z of things you like.
11:55 - 12:04
Now, question, and we were discussing this before we went on air. Do we reveal all 26 now or do we alternate A to Z and it takes a whole year?
12:04 - 12:12
Oh, God. Personally, I feel like we already have a couple of those going. Can you ever have enough of those?
12:12 - 12:19
There's no way that the one and only is going to be finished by the time cheese starts again.
12:19 - 12:32
Because we're a mere seven weeks away from the 2026 cheese season. So we're almost at preseason, aren't we?
12:33 - 12:41
We're almost in cheese board preseason. Where some of the old school cheese boards, they get you running up hills, you know, go to marine training.
12:42 - 12:47
The newer ones are a bit more data driven. They're cheese boards. This is exciting.
12:47 - 12:51
So no, you're right. We will have two concurrent ones there. But this isn't a quiz.
12:51 - 12:55
This is just every week you say, I like apples. And I say, I like apples.
12:56 - 13:01
And then you say, I like bananas. Or do you just want to do the full 26?
13:01 - 13:07
I mean, I can fly through it if you want. Some of them are not particularly interesting.
13:07 - 13:11
But I did try to be honest in the A to Z of things I like.
13:11 - 13:20
We want honesty. So here we go. Here is the A to Z. And Mars Bar, you're welcome to add music to sort of hide what a simple concept this is.
13:20 - 13:27
Using music to make it sound like an interesting bit of a podcast. It's David O'Doherty's A to Z of things.
13:27 - 13:32
Do you want me to guess each one? A to Z? No, no. I'll just turn to you.
13:32 - 13:40
Well, there's very little chat. If the A is, say, Achill Island, you're going to go, yep, that's an island where you go sometimes and put fencing up.
13:40 - 13:52
Okay, right. A, Achill Island. Got it. See, you've nothing to do. B, I've gone for the simplicity of the morning bagel with peanut butter, banana, honey and salt on it.
13:52 - 14:00
Uh-huh. Nice. Now, C, you may have something on this. It was going to be Chowder or Cascais, which is that town.
14:00 - 14:05
Seafood Chowder. Yeah, I love that. Disgusting. Okay. But it's not in my A to Z.
14:05 - 14:14
But instead, I've gone for Cooper's Pale Ale, a specific Australian beer in a bottle.
14:14 - 14:21
And it's the only beer ever I've known where they roll it across the counter to wake the sediment before they give it to you.
14:21 - 14:27
How do you feel about that? Well, I was just thinking how far down Chowder would be on my seat.
14:27 - 14:33
We'd get through so many, like every place on earth would be above Chowder. Pretty much everything.
14:33 - 14:40
I think Chowder might be the absolute bottom of the seat, like beyond, I don't know, CCoperaphilia or whatever it is.
14:41 - 14:54
Oh my God. If you order Chowder in an Australian bar, they roll it just to awaken the different fishy bits in it.
14:54 - 14:56
I'll go and have a Cooper's Pale Ale. I haven't had it for a while.
14:56 - 15:06
I've sort of moved back from Pale Ale to Lager. But Australian Cooper's Pale Ale isn't that sort of sweet type, sugary, Irish Brit Pale Ale.
15:06 - 15:12
I feel it's more of a classy effervescent. I'll do a few more and then we'll leave a bit more.
15:12 - 15:18
I'm going to do another five. Okay, it's exciting. D, Double Deckers. It's my favorite chocolate bar.
15:18 - 15:27
Right. And so apparently with the rise on the price of cocoa, they're now using kind of stuff that's like chocolate, but isn't quite chocolate.
15:27 - 15:38
And because the Double Decker has never been a particularly popular bar that Cadbury's do sometimes just fly a kite, we may be getting rid of this.
15:39 - 15:44
Do you have like a stockpile? Do you have it under your bed? No, I don't.
15:44 - 15:49
Would you like people to send Double Deckers to the P.O. Box? Yeah, that would be nice.
15:49 - 15:55
But then because the P.O. Box is in London, Mars Bar will then have to send the Double Deckers on to me.
15:56 - 16:04
This podcast is making billions. He'd happily do that. He is for? Ernest Shackleton. Of course.
16:04 - 16:12
Yeah. So if we haven't covered him on the pod before, and I believe he is one of the most spoken about people.
16:12 - 16:25
He was born in Ireland, tries to get to the South Pole, calls off 100 miles from the pole because he calculates he doesn't have enough food to get the men to the pole safely and back to the ship again.
16:25 - 16:30
And then the next time he attempted, gets stuck in the ice for a year.
16:30 - 16:37
Yeah. And they found the ship recently. Okay. He got home. Everyone survived. Okay. He's from a couple of suburbs over.
16:38 - 16:44
We're going to do three more. Three more. F. F minor 9 is my favorite chord.
16:44 - 16:52
I put it in most of my work. But also the Facebook Marketplace, I enjoy mindlessly looking at bicycles on there.
16:52 - 16:55
I need a bit of a lift or I'm trying to do a big move.
16:55 - 17:00
I thought bicycles might have been B, but it's okay. Don't worry. Bicycles will feature later in this list.
17:01 - 17:08
Okay. Stephen Roche's 1987, whatever. Carry on. That's T for Tour de France. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
17:08 - 17:18
Some of these I had too many. G is my favorite writer, George Saunders. And H or H, as you would say, is hats.
17:18 - 17:29
So there you go. Good. Do you want mine then, A2H? Apples. Bolognese. I did think about a pint of bitter because I missed that because I don't get that here.
17:30 - 17:35
Cornhole, which is a game you play with like hacky sacks. You throw it in a hole that I play on a weekend away with my friends every year.
17:35 - 17:39
Wow. And do you kick the hacky sacks into it or just throw them in from a distance?
17:40 - 17:49
No, you throw them from a distance. Really good game. Death in Paradise, Exmouth Market, which is like a street in London that has some really nice cafes and bars on it.
17:49 - 17:52
And I used to live really near it. And I love it. First bottle of lager on holiday.
17:53 - 17:57
Sound like a footballer. Don't I? But I really do love that. I really love that.
17:57 - 18:02
Golf, brackets the Ryder Cup. I love the Ryder Cup. And Glenn Hoddle. There we are.
18:05 - 18:11
Wow. Did you write yours while I was saying mine? Oh, no. I gave them more thought than you'd imagine.
18:11 - 18:15
I really do like apples. I do like apples. That was the one that made me think.
18:16 - 18:22
Has he just... Like, I really spent a long time thinking about this. Yep. Apples.
18:22 - 18:30
Hey, let's do They're Just Normal Countries. Let's do it. I am the one and only.
18:32 - 18:43
What country could I be? I am the one and only. Where in the world could our listeners be?
18:46 - 18:56
Previous guesses. And thank you to Kristen in Wrath Minds, who sent us a song from the Animaniacs Yakos World, where they do every country in a kind of kid's song.
18:56 - 19:01
Yeah. But it's a few years ago, because, you know, Czechoslovakia is still in it, and some countries no longer exist.
19:01 - 19:06
But, you know, you just have to breeze past that bit. Anyway, he wants me to sing these, but I'll just do them as quickly as I can.
19:21 - 19:29
And those dates are all sold out. But this tour, if you wanted to come to where you are, get in touch with the bad guests.
19:32 - 19:37
What an amazing tour that would be. How much money would we lose? We'd lose so much money.
19:38 - 19:43
The t-shirt with all the flags. If the music isn't working when we play Bhutan, I'll be absolutely furious.
19:44 - 19:52
Here we go. This is from... How do I pronounce C-A-O-I-M-H-E? So, Caoimhe or Caoimhe.
19:52 - 20:00
Okay. Caoimhe or Caoimhe. Brian Caoimhe and... Oh, well, I'll have to save who the other one is from in just a second.
20:00 - 20:08
Dear David, Max and Producer Mars Bar, in November, my wife and I will be leaving the goose chasing segment of the population and joining the 7 a.m.
20:08 - 20:13
I wish I could sleep to 7 a.m. segment of the population. In other words, my wife is pregnant.
20:13 - 20:19
To steal Max's line, I'll note for the tape that my wife has already stopped listening each week to save up episodes to listen to during labor.
20:19 - 20:28
So there is another What Did You Do Yesterday baby on the way. Yes. And if you choose to read this out, let me indulge another What Did You Do Yesterday tradition and communicate with my wife via podcast.
20:28 - 20:35
I love you and you're doing great. For the tape, Jamie, I also love you and you are doing great.
20:35 - 20:38
Over the course of her pregnancy, we've been using a simple app to track progress.
20:38 - 20:45
One of the fun features is that each week, it'll tell you a fruit or vegetable that corresponds to the rough size of your baby.
20:45 - 20:51
To avoid calling our future baby an it, especially before we knew when we were having a girl, we started using the fruit of the week as her moniker.
20:52 - 20:56
Sentences like, the lettuce is kicking, probably makes it like lunatics to pass us by.
20:56 - 21:02
But it was some good harmless fun. That is until last week. Last week, the app spat out a bunch of carrots.
21:02 - 21:06
The best fruits in our experience have been two or three syllables. So this was a bit of a mouthful.
21:06 - 21:10
On our daily walk while deciding what to do, I found myself starting to suggest we abbreviate it.
21:10 - 21:18
How about B-O? I stopped dead in my tracks. And a split second later, so did my wife.
21:18 - 21:25
We quickly moved the conversation on and later went in search of another pregnancy app to tell us a different fruit to use for the week, a Swiss chard for the record.
21:28 - 21:32
The only saving grace is that we're both huge What Did You Do Yesterday fans?
21:32 - 21:41
I can't imagine trying to explain to a person with no love of yesterdays why we can no longer use the phrase bunch of carrots to refer to anything, up to and including an actual bunch of carrots.
21:43 - 21:51
And if you'll allow a just normal country's guess, back in August of last year, I was listening to a bunch of episodes that I'd saved up while we spent a few weeks chasing geese around South America.
21:51 - 21:56
We had some time to kill at the airport in La Paz, so I'm pretty sure I popped on an episode.
21:56 - 22:03
So my guess is Bolivia. Thanks for the yesterdays and the mayhem. Brian, Caoimhe, and the papaya.
22:03 - 22:16
Hello. So the question is, is Bolivia one of the countries? We're huge in Bolivia.
22:16 - 22:25
Like, people listen to this podcast at altitude, famously. And so... It plays slower. You have to speed up our voices because we've...
22:25 - 22:29
Yeah. I wonder if that was the point where Caoimhe or Caoimhe gave birth there as well.
22:30 - 22:39
Possible, isn't it? Just on the uh-uh. Yeah. Pop. Mars Bar. How many listeners have we had in Bolivia?
22:39 - 22:48
When we started the quiz, we had had a total of 64 listens. 64? Yeah. Wow. We're enormous in Bolivia.
22:48 - 22:55
This is so exciting. Well, look. The board is open once again to the entire population of Earth.
22:55 - 23:01
Did you go to Bolivia while you were following Mrs. Rushden around the world? No, no.
23:01 - 23:08
She didn't go to Bolivia, so I didn't go to Bolivia that trip. But I went to Bolivia another time before we had encountered one another.
23:09 - 23:17
You've been to so many more countries than me. Wow, that wouldn't be a bad game to guess how many countries has each of us been?
23:18 - 23:25
Save it. Save this gold, David. Do you have any questions for me? I have one question for you.
23:25 - 23:30
What year were you in Bolivia? What time did you get up at yesterday, Max?
23:30 - 23:39
I'm just curious. Okay. Well, Willie's got a touch of bronchitis, which is, I would say, irresponsible of him to have caught this.
23:39 - 23:45
Yeah. And so he's not really asleep at all. So whether I was ever really asleep is open to debate.
23:46 - 23:55
But for absolute confirmation, at 4.30 a.m., Ian gets up to join the party and leaves his room for reasons which we have no idea.
23:56 - 24:01
He has been sleeping until half six, six o'clock every day for weeks. But at half past four, he wakes up and walks to the living room.
24:02 - 24:06
So I get up and I say, what are you doing, Ian? I say, not today, Ian.
24:06 - 24:10
We don't need this. We're already dealing with another minor emergency, sort of ongoing emergency.
24:10 - 24:14
He says, I don't want to go to bed. I say, what if the two of us get in the day bed together?
24:14 - 24:18
I'm thinking, I get him down and then I'm in the day bed. That's long enough for me, not his bed.
24:18 - 24:26
He says, okay. I pick him up. I walk into the playroom. It's dark. I tread on some train track.
24:27 - 24:37
So then I sort of readjust my footing. And as I readjust my footing, a bit like an episode of Some Mothers Do Have Em, my neck goes, right?
24:37 - 24:45
So I put him on the bed and I realize I'm lying on my front and I'm in serious pain and I can't move my head either direction.
24:45 - 24:51
So obviously for a short amount of time, I think I'm completely paralyzed while Ian is singing the theme to Paw Patrol.
24:53 - 24:57
I managed to move onto my back and I can find that I can turn my head to the right.
24:57 - 25:05
I just can't turn it at all to the left. So I'm sort of moving about and sometimes it's comfortable and sometimes it's absolute agony, but I'm trying to get Ian to sleep.
25:06 - 25:10
Eventually I say to Jay, I'm thinking, oh God, I've got to go to A&E or something.
25:10 - 25:15
Maybe I'm just going to be podcasting in a neck brace for a while. You know, maybe that's content.
25:16 - 25:19
Maybe it's worth losing the feeling in my legs, but I'm moving my legs and arms.
25:19 - 25:24
They all feel fine. And I say, Jay, something's wrong. And so Willie had just fallen asleep.
25:24 - 25:27
She has to get up and Willie wakes up and she just says, you've cricked your neck.
25:27 - 25:32
And she goes back to bed. It would be a funny trip to A&E.
25:32 - 25:44
I stood on a train track. It's one of those things. It's like when my friend, his mom rang A&E to say, he's got a skittle stuck up his nose and they were like, get in now.
25:44 - 25:51
And they thought it was obvious. Like it was a sort of 10 pin bowling accident or something.
25:51 - 25:57
Whereas it was one sugar coated treat that just gradually dissolved up his nose. So it was absolutely fine.
25:58 - 26:05
I walked on a train track. Does sound like something more serious. You were trying to escape from a prison or a fugitive of some kind.
26:05 - 26:10
But in fact, it was just a tiny little Lego train track. It was a tiny toy train.
26:10 - 26:16
So five o'clock in the morning, I'm in pain. I managed to get Ian down and he's just going to sleep.
26:16 - 26:23
Oh, what's that? It's the trash truck, 5 a.m. Yeah. Sometimes it comes at 10 a.m, but this time at five and I can hear it.
26:23 - 26:28
And I know that he's going to wake up because it's so obvious what it is.
26:28 - 26:33
You can't pass it off as anything else. I can't make enough noise because I don't want to wake Willie up.
26:33 - 26:37
So he goes, he goes, trash truck. He's totally awake. We don't go and see the trash truck.
26:38 - 26:41
There's a game he likes where I lie in bed. It's a really good game for me.
26:41 - 26:44
And I go, have you got a yellow car? And he goes out and finds a yellow car.
26:45 - 26:49
And they're all lined up. Yeah. But unfortunately to do that, I have to look to the left.
26:49 - 26:54
So I have to turn to the other end of the bed. So I'm looking to the right and we play for half an hour.
26:54 - 27:00
Have you got a green motorbike? And he gets a green motorbike. He wants to watch Paw Patrol, half past five.
27:00 - 27:04
I'm fine with that. We go to the sofa. I make him some toast. I'm catching up on the scores.
27:04 - 27:07
Liverpool Man United and Tottenham Aston Villa. I'm doing a bit of work. Oh, yeah.
27:08 - 27:17
At the same time. I'm in quite a lot of pain. I'm wondering whether to go to the doctor, A&E or whatever, but I'd book in with Chris, my chiropractor, midday.
27:17 - 27:26
Interruption. My mother, whose sight wouldn't be her strong point, but she has, I'm her son.
27:26 - 27:32
She has grandchildren. And then she has two great-grandchildren as well who enjoy Paw Patrol.
27:32 - 27:39
And for no reason, we all love it. Mother has always just referred to it as pest control.
27:39 - 27:50
And nothing will ever put her off that. But it is an interesting idea that Chase and the other big characters from Paw Patrol are like ratters.
27:51 - 27:57
You know what I mean? They go and they horrifically eradicate mice and mosquitoes. Yeah.
27:58 - 28:03
I mean, like the woodworm episode is less interesting, isn't it? We'll lay this down and we'll come back in about four weeks.
28:03 - 28:08
You know, should all be done. About six o'clock, I'd say Willie and Jamie come in.
28:08 - 28:14
There's general sadness. Jamie makes me some peanut butter on toast. General sadness. Is that the name of this episode?
28:14 - 28:21
Do you think? Jamie makes me some peanut butter on toast, which is delightful. I have a Berocca because my throat is fucked.
28:21 - 28:30
Everyone was sick and I didn't get sick, but then I got sick. On the radio the previous night, Sunday morning in the UK, I've been compared to, my voice has been compared to,
28:30 - 28:36
a child taking a sickie, Henry Blofeld. When I laughed, somebody said, I sounded like Jim Davidson doing an impression of Frank Bruno.
28:39 - 28:45
It's 7.50 a.m. I take Willie for a nap walk. He goes down at 8.09. I walk in for 20 minutes.
28:45 - 28:51
I meet Jamie at Ophelia. We have a coffee. She takes Willie. I watch Match of the Day, have a second coffee.
28:52 - 28:54
My first is a long black. Second is a strong three called a flat white.
28:55 - 29:00
Both great. It's a good win for Manchester United at Anfield. Jamie has changed her Pilates to 12.30.
29:00 - 29:06
I move my chiropractor to 11. I do the Football Weekly script. I drive to the chiropractor.
29:06 - 29:10
I pop into the organic food store. I get some bread, some chocolate, some apples.
29:11 - 29:17
It's chiropractor time. There's more shopping I need, but I don't have time. He says, I'm going to survive.
29:17 - 29:22
He says, this is not uncommon. It's a buildup of stress, of bad posture, of all these things.
29:22 - 29:26
And it was just a straw that, the train track was the straw that broke the camel's neck.
29:26 - 29:32
He's thinking about, I've been to see him before. He's thinking about doing an adjustment, but he moves my head a bit.
29:32 - 29:37
And I go, no, thank you. And so then he gets a thing that sounds a bit like a staple gun.
29:37 - 29:42
It's like you're just allowing a man to get a staple gun and just go, into your neck.
29:42 - 29:50
But there are no staples. Great. And it frees things up a bit and he rubs some magnesium oil into my neck and massages and stuff.
29:50 - 29:55
And it's like, okay, this is good. I leave with renewed hope, David. Yeah, I'm disappointed there.
29:55 - 30:01
He didn't either like punch you in the liver or do the one where he's like, is that the bin truck?
30:01 - 30:13
And you look out the window. And they're like, do you ever see in rugby, sometimes people dislocate a finger and you see the trainer being like, look into the stand and they pull it back in.
30:13 - 30:18
I was hoping for more of that now. Sort of, yeah. As opposed to... Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.
30:18 - 30:24
No, there wasn't any of that. So I have got renewed hope, but every time I turn my head without turning my whole torso, I wince in pain.
30:24 - 30:30
We go back to the organic store for some of my own magnesium oil or magnesium spray, which of course I will use.
30:31 - 30:35
We were told in this podcast that's good for a sleep, weren't we? Didn't someone say that?
30:35 - 30:40
Oh yes. Chris McCausland. Yeah. But I'm not drinking this stuff. I'm just putting it on my neck.
30:40 - 30:46
Maybe I'll drink some tonight. Yeah. I also get some micro greens for Jamie, which is posh cress, as far as I can tell.
30:47 - 30:51
Some peanut butter, some chili jam for me and some oats. The oats, just a bag of oats.
30:52 - 30:56
How much did that cost? Oh yeah. I'm in the wrong store. I'm in an organic store.
30:56 - 31:07
Yeah. They were $10. They were $22, right? So I'm not normally, and you know, just because this podcast is doing well, I'm not staring at what the things in the supermarket cost.
31:08 - 31:12
I'm very lucky like that. But I see oats $22 and I say, are those oats $22?
31:13 - 31:19
And she says, yes. And out loud, I just go, holy shit. And like, I don't think that's what you're meant to do in this organic store.
31:19 - 31:23
Like nobody else is acting like this. And I say, I can't, I'm sorry. I can't take them.
31:23 - 31:30
I'm sorry. That's too much for oats. It's too much for oats. She says there's some other oats and I'm sorry, I can't.
31:30 - 31:41
I'll just go to Aldi. Yeah. Imagine making overnight oats with them and oat milk where you drown the $22 oats in the blood of their friends.
31:41 - 31:48
But you'd have to remortgage here. I mean, people, you know, the Daily Mail are right about avocados if you're getting them from this store and not being able to afford a house.
31:48 - 31:54
Anyway, later Jay gets some oats from Aldi for $2.50. Great. You feel good. Yeah. I make some eggs.
31:54 - 32:00
These are eggs from my sister-in-law's chickens. Oh, wow. Ali and Xavier have chickens and the eggs are great.
32:00 - 32:06
Hmm. And we picked them up yesterday. So I have jammy eggs, seven and a half minutes on a rolling boil, put them in some cold water, peel them, done.
32:07 - 32:11
Are chickens sad when you take their eggs? They didn't seem concerned. You know what I mean?
32:11 - 32:21
Are they like, no. They're generous people. Yeah. And how often do you, I mean, I realize I'm asking literally the worst person.
32:21 - 32:25
They call me Mr. Chicken. They call me the egg whisperer. What are your questions?
32:25 - 32:30
Text us now. How often do you lay eggs if you're a chicken? Every day.
32:30 - 32:39
Every day. Most days you'll lay. Yeah. What? Well, my experience are Kath next door who's got chickens who sometimes I have to look after and these chickens.
32:40 - 32:44
And with Kath, it was like, well, if they lay anything, you can take the eggs if you're looking after them.
32:44 - 32:48
Sometimes they were none. Sometimes they were five. Wow. But not all out of one chicken.
32:48 - 32:53
Jammy eggs, microgreens, parmesan, chili jam. Great. I have a bonus piece of toast and peanut butter.
32:53 - 32:57
Jamie goes to Pilates. Willie falls asleep on me. I do some admin. I take him to bed.
32:58 - 33:00
Great. Jay comes back. Willie is still asleep on me. It's around half past one.
33:00 - 33:06
We lie there for a bit. Jamie makes her lunch, has a shower. It's 2.40. Jay is taking Willie to the doctor because he's bronchitis.
33:06 - 33:12
I go to sleep. It's 4 p.m. Jay comes back. I've had one of the world's great naps.
33:13 - 33:20
It is absolutely amazing. And I wake up and I feel fucking wretched because you do after, you know, an hour and 20.
33:20 - 33:28
I've had an hour and 20. It's amazing. The question that I can't really ask, but I need to, is that this day began at whatever it was, 4.30.
33:28 - 33:35
And so when you sounded like Jim Davidson doing an impersonation of Frank Bruno, had you had to stay up?
33:35 - 33:42
That was till 11.30. 11.30. Yeah. Okay, fine. Yeah. Yeah. So I get the purpose of that sleep then.
33:42 - 33:49
And my question is really, what I'm wondering and we'll find out is, is that enough sleep to keep you going until?
33:49 - 33:55
We'll find out. We'll find out. Whoa! Anyway, Jamie makes me some hummus and breadsticks and hands them to me as I lie in bed.
33:55 - 33:59
And she says, I'm like a postpartum woman, but it is said with love. So I take it.
33:59 - 34:04
I take Willie outside with two mini cucumbers and Jamie picks up Ian from Kinder.
34:04 - 34:09
He comes back. He's wearing a crown with a worm on it. It's 5 p.m.
34:09 - 34:16
Ian gets some sort of budget ravioli. He's not interested. It would be tricky if you were a worm and the king.
34:17 - 34:25
Yeah. Because if someone cut you in half, you know what I mean? It would be like a sort of, is it called a schism in history?
34:25 - 34:34
Right. It could be two rival houses vying for the... So it's a surefire way to civil war if worms were royalty.
34:34 - 34:39
That's what I'm saying. That's... Just tell them that. As regards his worm crowd. Okay.
34:39 - 34:46
That's a very good point. So Ian gets this cheap ravioli. He's not interested, but Jamie takes it out of the room and brings it back in a smaller bowl and he is all over this.
34:46 - 34:56
Jamie makes us some posh ravioli, Italian fennel sausage with pecorino, and she pimps it with some garlic, some peas, some chard from the garden, some leek and some parmesan.
34:56 - 35:02
It's delicious. I have seconds. This is like you're making this up to try and get past the dinner in a box thing.
35:02 - 35:17
No, no, no. You're now just reading these extravagant Otto Lenghi recipes, and then Jamie procures a stout-walled vessel and runs the rice through a colander four times till it is bright white.
35:17 - 35:23
We eat, watch Paw Patrol or Chuggington, which is a train-based entertainment program. We give Willie a bath.
35:23 - 35:27
He's sad about it. I go to the shed. It's Football Weekly time. This is a good bit.
35:27 - 35:38
I log into the Zoom and this microphone I don't use. I have two microphones here, but one I use mainly for Football Weekly, one for this and Talk Sport, and it's got these headphones attached to it.
35:38 - 35:48
So I lower this mic because I'm off mic, and as I lower it, I lower these special Talk Sport headphones that they gave me when I was in London directly into a boiling cup of lemon and honey.
35:49 - 35:57
It's like a procedure. I've done it so well without noticing. So then I run back into the kitchen with these headphones, and the only rice we've got is Arborio rice, of course.
35:58 - 36:04
So, you know, that soaks up a lot of water. So I tuck them in the risotto rice and hope they'll be okay.
36:04 - 36:13
God, that's so funny that the rice then absorbs the headphones, and the only way to use them is you just have to cram loads of rice in delicious...
36:13 - 36:18
Not what you need is you need two arancinis. That's it. You get two arancinis.
36:19 - 36:32
Also, I want the mic you have to use for the football to be one of those football commentators ones that you hold up to your top lip, and then just one arancini ball that's been cut in half
36:32 - 36:39
and then is draped over your ear as like a scotch egg. Anyway, the pod's good.
36:40 - 36:46
Occasionally I do turn my head and wince in pain, but it's done. At 7.30pm, I give myself a magnesium oil massage.
36:46 - 36:56
Yes, David. Well, obviously it's a big day in football. Many things happening. There is sometimes space in Football Weekly to say I have a sore neck.
36:57 - 37:02
Yeah. But in this occasion, maybe there's just too much football to go into something like that.
37:02 - 37:08
I didn't bring it up. Normally, what I think about that pod, which might surprise us to this one, is people are tuning in for the football.
37:08 - 37:11
So I like to start with the football. I don't start with the nonsense. Yeah.
37:12 - 37:19
We'll always end there. I want to get into the football because I know it's going to end with, you know, footballers that look like lettuces or whatever.
37:19 - 37:26
Like that's, I can't help but get there. But I'm desperately, mainly I'm trying to stave off getting there for as long as possible because I know I'm going to end there.
37:27 - 37:34
That's the way I see it. I bet you've seen the numbers. Do a lot of people, when they've heard the bit about their team, stop listening to that?
37:34 - 37:44
I don't know, actually. I should find out. Because I bet the listenership of this podcast really drops off when you mentioned that you were once in Teddington, et cetera.
37:45 - 37:52
So I think your dream is to just drive every podcast into the soil. I'm the podcast killer.
37:53 - 38:00
So in many ways, it was slightly counterintuitive to begin my own one. I didn't, you know, it'd be much easier just not to start this one.
38:01 - 38:07
It's 7.30. I get into the daybed. I sort of lie there, bit of scrolling. By eight, I'm trying to get down to sleep.
38:07 - 38:12
8.30, there is a bronchial episode in mum and dad a bed. And Willie has thrown up all over the sheets.
38:13 - 38:15
Shit. We look at them, we go, we'll just put a towel on that. That'll do.
38:15 - 38:19
We can change those sheets in a week or two. That's not a huge vomit.
38:19 - 38:26
Back in the daybed, there's a mosquito. I can't be asked to find the mosquito, but I can't go to sleep because there's a mosquito.
38:27 - 38:31
But it's okay. I get some rest. Do you feel the bites or do you hear the eee?
38:31 - 38:36
I just hear the eee. It's around my head. The only thing available for it is my forehead.
38:36 - 38:40
And I'm thinking, there must be something better for you around. Look, there's a three-year-old in the next room.
38:40 - 38:45
Just go that way. 9.50 p.m. I'm up. I go to the shed. I check the line.
38:45 - 38:53
I'm doing the afternoon show on a Monday covering for the mighty Paul Hawksby. I thought there we had a nice half seven and you were meant to be.
38:53 - 39:01
And then I sleep like a god till whatever time, 3.19. I'm in till 2 a.m.
39:01 - 39:06
And so are you guys. So I have a shower. I miss my press-ups because I can't move my neck.
39:06 - 39:14
Okay. Oh, yeah. So it's 10.30 p.m. We get on the Zoom pre-show and then this is a gear change for this pod but it's incredible.
39:15 - 39:30
We hear that the really devastating and I'd wondered whether to talk about it now but it is what happened yesterday and that's this pod is the news about Stuart Pearce losing his son 21 years old in an accident and it hits us and I only said in the office
39:30 - 39:45
but it just totally is such a devastating thing to hear because he works at the station and he comes on the show that I do every Saturday and he is like intelligent and fun and we talk about it.
39:45 - 39:56
He's always the co-coms on a Saturday early kick-off and you know we talk about the game but then we go what are the last gig he went to and he talks about the Stranglers or you know punk rock and he's just a really lovely guy
39:56 - 40:10
and I've got so much affection for him and you know I know what like an amazing dad like this guy would have been and so obviously this is far less important but we are then have to work out how we are they've talked about it
40:10 - 40:25
on the previous show I've been in this situation so many times and you know it's a path doing live radio is sort of you know when news happens it's how do you cover this in a sensitive way and you have really weird editorial discussions about you know
40:26 - 40:36
and normally it's a you know it's Jimmy Greaves or something you know it's a sporting god or Terry Venables or you know but also normally you don't have a relationship with a member of the family as well
40:36 - 40:49
so when you do that you are you know just rip up the running order because you know you talk about Jimmy Greaves and then there's this weird hierarchy of you know a footballer who perhaps didn't play for England or whatever and you go well we'll do
40:49 - 41:01
half an hour like what is a life worth it's so impossible to quantify and at the same time you sort of have your job is to make this radio show and this radio show is kind of an upbeat radio show so we sort of we sort of decide
41:01 - 41:10
look that we will start the show in a sort of normal way and then we will pivot to just talk about how much we how terrible we feel and actually we I think we get the balance right
41:10 - 41:22
but it's one of those really hard things to know you know a nothing you can say is worthy of what has happened really and you just want to send your love totally and it is totally different you're right
41:22 - 41:37
when it's somebody that so many people in that building have such a strong relationship with and you know are just so sort of it's so crushing and we get so many messages from listeners you know and I think podcasts and radio are similar to this
41:37 - 41:49
and in a different way to TV that they quickly become a family right so that show that Paul and Andy host and me and Charlie cover for quite a lot yeah that is a family and the Saturday and the Sunday show a bit like you know the listeners
41:49 - 42:01
that have sort of come into this show right you have a weird relationship with them and so there are people that literally are you know listening to talk sport 24 hours a day you know like whenever they get in the car whenever they get up in the morning
42:01 - 42:15
and so they are similarly moved so then you're trying to really strike a balance between this incredibly important thing and sad thing but as well as talking about the football and what happened yeah the cricket and all this kind of stuff and so
42:15 - 42:33
I think we get that balance right and you know sometimes the show is funny and we're talking about a Bernie player called Loom Tuner and then people start texting us you know footballer fish of which obviously Ruud Van nistelcarp, really terrible but really makes me laugh and then there's
42:33 - 42:49
sort of nonsense in this show so the Daily Star reported that Brian May has said he might know how to time travel so like we do a big 10 minutes on this you know this is I mean it's why I'm very lucky to do this with you because
42:49 - 43:05
your instincts are you know I am just like a sort of jack-in-the-box guy that occasionally bounces up and talks about a bath of cum whereas because you've been broadcasting for so long and you're so
43:05 - 43:20
good at it instinctively you would be able to deal with this I would say they were very lucky that you were there to helm it yeah I mean I didn't bring up a bath of cum so you know yeah no no no I'm not very good
43:20 - 43:35
at taking compliments David I'm much more used to you know taking insults so just keep it that way anyway you know it's a nice show and I get some more comparisons to my voice as it gets worse and worse through the night Roger Moore chat GPT
43:35 - 43:49
by 1 45 a.m I'm calling Andy Charlie I'm not quite on it but like we limp home we get done 2 a.m so at 2 a.m I send my funny whatsapp just got home great show gets very little reaction you know I'm persisting it's a different whatsapp group
43:49 - 44:04
this so you know and then it's bedtime and then it is bedtime any more mosquitoes not that I can recall I'm pretty out of it right you do have that sort of post show buzz of like I've just done this and I mean it obviously is weird
44:04 - 44:15
like it is weird that it's I'm off air at 4 in the afternoon on the other laptop I've kind of got the running order I've got a British clock saying the British time you know sounds quite Brexit but you know it's the only clock I'll use
44:15 - 44:27
and so you know you're sort of saying good afternoon and you're dealing with that time zone so you're not really you know it's not 4 o'clock but you sort of start to believe it is and then it's 2 o'clock in the morning and so you're going well I you know
44:27 - 44:41
it's weird that I just go from my shed and have broadcast to the United Kingdom the whole thing is odd yeah and very lucky that I'm allowed to do it yes do question my life choices of what I'm doing it to in the morning it's completely ridiculous
44:41 - 44:52
why am I doing it I would give you another compliment there but I know I'm not allowed so I will just call you a generic bastard thanks so much but what's interesting is you say my instincts are right
44:52 - 45:09
and this brings me to an email from Garvin McEvoy who says hello Max Doddles and producer Mars Bar but I love the podcast as I know you're fond of detail I've done some research and crunched the numbers in relation to Max's Teddington quiz as of March 2025 1290 men have represented
45:09 - 45:26
the English men's senior football team 227 for the women's national team figures can be found on englandfootball.com as part of their legacy programme taking post 1950s player caps into account we can assume anywhere between 850 and 950 is still alive so therefore could possibly have been in Teddington that day
45:26 - 45:45
let's split the difference 900 a 2024 UK live comedy sector survey analysis suggests there are between 500 and 700 full-time professional comedians who earn most of their income through comedy. Logic assumes they would therefore be well known enough to be recognised in Teddington. Let's split the difference and say 600 so that's roughly
45:45 - 46:06
900 times 600 to find all the distinct potential pairings this is 540,000 potential pairings if there are two distinct guesses per week Doddles and Mars bar we've 270,000 weeks of guesses divide this by 52 and we've got a maximum of 5,192 years to guess correctly if all combinations are needed to be guessed
46:06 - 46:21
on average you'd expect to hit the mark halfway through your guesses so the average time is looking at about 2,596 years of midweek mayhem guessing worst case scenario 5,192 years of guessing best of luck Mars Bar and Doddles so
46:21 - 46:34
now some months ago sort of mid-July I'd say just sort of July between July the 16th and 20th I was in Teddington and I saw a comedian putting up posters for his show in Teddington oh yeah and then a couple of days later
46:34 - 46:49
in the hotel I was in I saw a footballer walking past hmm but who were they oh I know who they were oh okay you should have said weeks ago sure I've worked it out just based on I've been giving like do you know when you're playing Cluedo
46:49 - 47:12
sometimes you just go to the ballroom and stay in the ballroom because you have that card to work out what the weapon definitely is yeah and by that process I can now tell you with 100% certainty it was Sol Campbell and Sam Campbell incorrect is it a splash
47:12 - 47:26
you know in battleships you know when you're close to a destroyer you're getting a splash in this we've just discovered that basically it is a piece of cake to get it you think you're getting a splash or any sort of clue Mars Bar so I know
47:26 - 47:39
we're not allowed clues but in the inbox in the last week we've had a lot of what's I a lot five or six people message in to say that on a recent episode people believe that you slipped up and implied that it was a woman comedian
47:39 - 47:56
now I've gone back through and just now when you described it you didn't say his poster yeah so are we allowed to clarify the gender of said comedian yes Max because if it is a woman the misdirection that you've given us here I think is absolutely unacceptable
47:58 - 48:09
I can confirm and it is against my better judgment to give you this kind of clue great that we are looking at a hundred percent male category for both okay
48:09 - 48:21
I think that will put a lot of listeners minds at ease here but I do like the fact that listeners are reading so much into it there are a lot of people that thought that in your sort of sleepy haze you'd let slip a key detail
48:21 - 48:33
but then I went back and listened to a few others and you did say his a number of times surely you've got better things to do than to go back and listen to all of these for the clues that I may have subliminally let out
48:33 - 48:53
on what is the quiz that is fast go on fast what fast causing the breakup of this podcast no it's taking over the nation that's what it's doing I should say oh Yoko Ono people aren't interested in traitors anymore they're interested in the Teddington quiz okay
48:53 - 49:11
well you say you've surprised how much time I had I did genuinely start writing a list of female comedians that I then started to cross reference with comedy clubs in Teddington before I went on to everythingishowbiz.com just to triple check such is my desire to torpedo
49:11 - 49:29
this fucking quiz my my guesses are um Nicky Butt and Ed Gamble. Incorrect. God like the problem here Mars Bar because this is something that Max has spoken about before do you remember he used to shit on about his other quiz think of a thing yeah
49:29 - 49:43
and then the fact that once one of his friends just said Prunella scales and it was Prunella scales that is pretty amazing right yes yes it is amazing but a stopped clock is right
49:43 - 49:57
several times a day and Prunella scales is right once a thousand years whereas as we've learned from this it's gonna take two and a half thousand years to get to this thing is right
49:57 - 50:09
I would kind of like to give you a clue but I feel like I've committed now to not give you a clue I might just start editing this whole section out of the show you guys don't listen back no one will care imagine if you did that
50:09 - 50:13
and then what you could release them all as a big bonus episode in three thousand years
50:16 - 50:29
