Hello Yesterday fans! It's me, David O'Doherty, the 1990 East Leinster under-14s triple jump bronze medalist with a little bit of news that Max and I are doing a live show. This time in my home Dublin City where the ejector seat was invented. Also I think the hypodermic needle and someone told me
0:29 - 0:59
The birthday candles you blow out and they come back on. It was to do with, I think a lot of explosive type stuff was invented there and that was a by-product. Anyway, we're doing a live show on the 3rd of March in Dublin's beautiful Vicar Street. Tickets are on sale now. It's kind of wild. We're doing Dublin on the 3rd of March and Melbourne on the 3rd of April.
0:59 - 1:12
And if anyone apart from us goes to both of those gigs, you get a special prize. This is my announcement. Now please enjoy the rest of the podcast.
1:19 - 1:33
Podcasts, there are millions of them. Some might say too many. I have one already. I don't have any because there are enough. Politics, business, sport, you name it, there's a podcast about it and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day.
1:33 - 1:42
But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Too afraid of being censored by the man?
1:43 - 1:49
Possibly. But not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We try and say it at the same time, Max.
1:49 - 1:57
What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guests got up to yesterday. Nothing more.
1:57 - 2:06
Day before yesterday, Max. Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life. Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushden.
2:06 - 2:17
And I'm David O'Doherty. Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello and welcome to Midweek Mayhem. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday?
2:17 - 2:24
I'm Max Rushden. And he is David O'Doherty. David, hello. Coming to you live from Davos.
2:24 - 2:30
Oh yeah, good. I thought so. It's sort of like where the world's most important people all come.
2:30 - 2:41
Not many people came to our sit down panel, did they? We had asked the head of the World Bank and Marco Rubio.
2:41 - 2:47
And we were going to try and hammer out a few things. Well, no, it was Rubio when we said what did you do.
2:47 - 2:52
He just wouldn't really play with what did you do yesterday. You know, it was very matter of fact.
2:52 - 3:01
It was a short episode. It'll be out soon. Huge news. What's the news? So I found the trousers in 2016.
3:01 - 3:11
As you know, six foot mother, five foot five father have begat a strangely shaped boy with little legs like an Ewok.
3:12 - 3:16
Yeah. And then... And when you run, it makes the little noise in cartoons. Diddly, diddly, diddly.
3:18 - 3:32
But I am almost un-knockoverable. Like that is the positive. Like, you know, the footage you see of the young Messi where six different Real Madrid players are trying to viciously hack him.
3:32 - 3:37
Yeah. That's me in life. How often are people trying to knock you over? Just generally.
3:38 - 3:41
I was sort of like, it sort of stopped happening after for me at the age of, I don't know, about 11.
3:42 - 3:50
It's like the Bittersweet Symphony, Richard Ashcroft, Verve video. Yeah. That's my whole life. When I woke up the street, people are just trying to hack me.
3:50 - 3:59
They're just bouncing off you. I'm riding tackles. Anyway, the trousers. No, to use a football analogy, I'm the young Messi.
3:59 - 4:07
Because I understand nothing else. Yes. And you are Claudio Canigia from the 1990 World Cup against Cameroon.
4:08 - 4:13
Got it. You know with three different people trying to foul him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the third guy, like, hits him.
4:13 - 4:19
Sends him to orbit. About nipple height. And he 360s in the air. Yeah. That's me.
4:20 - 4:35
Okay. And Cinderella-like in 2016, I tried on a pair of trousers and I heard a glockenspiel sound of my legs saying, we are home.
4:37 - 4:50
This arduous journey is over. Yeah. Okay. These trousers were a short-lived Levi cycling trouser called the commuter trouser.
4:51 - 4:58
Right. And you would see them for the next couple of years. 2018, they just stopped making them.
4:58 - 5:06
No one wants them. They're just like, who is this shape, basically? They're like 42-inch waist, 24-inch leg.
5:07 - 5:15
Is that... I mean, I will tell you something bleak about them. The Helen Copter is a long-legged person.
5:16 - 5:24
Uh-huh. Kind of like, you know, in the canal, you see those birds with a long beak and legs like straws.
5:24 - 5:30
She's a heron. She's a heron. She's a flamingo. And you are... You're a chipmunk.
5:30 - 5:45
My waist leg, she is the exact opposite of that. So surely, surely the trousers that you both wear must be the same surface area if you can adjust them.
5:45 - 5:56
So you could take her trousers and widen and shorten her trousers. It's not often on this podcast that your A-level in advanced mathematics comes up.
5:56 - 6:13
Yeah. I look forward to this being debunked. But the area, which of course is length by breadth, is going to be the same for both of us, even though I'm a 36 waist and 29 inside leg.
6:14 - 6:30
And she has a 29 waist and a 36 leg. Like... Anyway, I have every known alert set up if these trousers were to appear on any of the clothing.
6:30 - 6:36
Is it like Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State? Your house is set up like Gene Hackman's Enemy of the State.
6:36 - 6:43
There's just like monitors everywhere. And you can at any point leave and the whole place will explode in five seconds.
6:44 - 6:51
Vented, Etsy, eBay, all these different places where a pair of these trousers might appear.
6:51 - 6:59
And then two weeks ago, found a pair in America, in New York City. New York City!
7:00 - 7:06
Concrete jungles where dreams are. Also trousers. But you have to really go in.
7:06 - 7:12
Someone started counterfeiting these trousers. Or at least... No. Look, I don't know what's happened.
7:12 - 7:17
But you're the only person that fit. It's such a niche counterfeit. Because you're the only person that can wear it.
7:19 - 7:25
So you have to really go in on the photos and look at the stitching and all the rest.
7:25 - 7:34
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they were $20, but plus $40 import duty and postage and packaging, etc.
7:34 - 7:43
Do you know what would be amazing if they belonged to Juan Patino? The guy who shot the photographs for Lisa Loeb, Stay, I Miss You.
7:44 - 7:51
I think he produced Stay, I Miss You. He, because I tried on all his clothes and I went into his flat because they were there in all Airbnb days.
7:52 - 7:58
He was quite a short little guy. So maybe. No, because these were new. They have tags on them.
7:58 - 8:05
Ah, you've got them. Yeah, they've just arrived. Oh my goodness. I'll just take you through some of the features that they have.
8:06 - 8:11
Right, okay. Okay. This is a different episode. This is just a trouser reviewing episode now.
8:11 - 8:16
It's a trouser review episode. I see. Start strong. Put your strongest material out first, they said.
8:16 - 8:25
So we fold up the end of the trouser. And can you see that? On the outside seam, there are reflecty bits.
8:26 - 8:32
Ah, for a cyclist. Yeah. So when you roll up your leg for the chain, they've thought to put some reflect.
8:32 - 8:42
That could save my life. On the back here, there is an extra strap of material just above the left buttock.
8:42 - 8:46
What would you say that's for? See, it's sort of like a belt. It's a hoop.
8:47 - 8:54
It's for your D-lock. It's for a D-lock. That's exactly what it's for. Yeah. Trousers with a built-in D-lock strap.
8:54 - 9:03
And then the big one right down here, fully reinforced gusset. Fully, like with a double up piece of material there.
9:04 - 9:14
These are trousers. I once brought them to Australia. And even in Melbourne's autumn, they are unwearable there.
9:14 - 9:24
They just keep everything at too high a temperature downstairs. I see. When you open the zip, it makes a sound like opening a can of Coke.
9:24 - 9:35
So they are Ireland, UK trousers. They've just arrived. That's why I know this is going to be our greatest ever podcast.
9:36 - 9:41
I should hope so. I mean, the first eight minutes have been strong if you like trousers, I would say.
9:42 - 9:47
Who doesn't like trousers? Everybody likes trousers. I barely wear them these days. I'll be honest.
9:47 - 9:50
I don't know when I last put on a pair of trousers. What are you wearing?
9:50 - 10:00
Sarongs? Shorts. There we are. I'm just not wearing sarongs. Australia. I'm trying to change my brand.
10:00 - 10:07
So what I'm doing is now I'm saronging it. Me and Jamie, we're matching sarongs and walk around Melbourne's inner north.
10:07 - 10:13
As yet, it hasn't really moved the dial on our Instagram following. We are playing Dublin live.
10:14 - 10:18
Oh, no, no. Can we mention that? I meant to say we're playing Melbourne, but we are also playing Dublin.
10:19 - 10:24
Yeah, I think it's a fair enough way to announce it. Is you just getting the place wrong?
10:25 - 10:36
It is going to drop. By the time this podcast comes out, which is in a couple of days, fully on sale will be a Dublin, our Dublin debut.
10:36 - 10:42
Like we are doing two gigs that are geographically. If we were to make a t-shirt for this.
10:44 - 11:01
It is the least environmentally friendly tour that's ever been done. Maybe Formula One is the only thing that uses up more pointless energy than our world tour, which involves, is it the second or the third of March?
11:01 - 11:09
It's the third of March. Yeah. In Dublin. Correct. And then the third of April.
11:10 - 11:17
Wow. A month apart. Yeah. Third of March in Dublin. Then we need a month off to decompress after that live show.
11:18 - 11:24
And then third of April in Melbourne. And then presumably the third of May in Santiago.
11:25 - 11:33
The Azores. So there we are. We're playing Dublin on the third of March. So where are we playing, David?
11:33 - 11:46
We're playing Vicar Street. Vicar Street. A legendary venue in Dublin City, beloved by, I think, Neil Young said it was the greatest acoustic he'd ever encountered in the theatre.
11:46 - 11:51
Well, wait till our finale. And then we'll ask Neil Young that question again. Oh my God.
11:52 - 11:56
Is this the finale I'm thinking of? Well, it's the one I put in the WhatsApp group.
11:56 - 12:02
And it's not easy. It's not easy, but it feels right. Okay. And then Melbourne is the town hall.
12:02 - 12:06
One of us will be the mayor of Melbourne by the end. It's basically, it's like a Hustings.
12:07 - 12:15
Neil Young said it was the worst acoustic he'd ever encountered. So we're on the full Neil Young spectrum of sound quality.
12:15 - 12:20
So if you want to go to the Melbourne one, then you just Google Melbourne Comedy Festival.
12:20 - 12:25
What did you do yesterday? I don't know how you get the tickets for the Dublin one because you've organized that one.
12:25 - 12:29
It'd be the same. I mean, you've organized the Melbourne one too. With Dublin. Yeah.
12:29 - 12:35
Got it. Okay. Feedback. Oh, well, regarding our special guest for Australia, Andy says, is it Bouncer?
12:35 - 12:40
If so, I hope he's had another of his dreams. I need to explain this.
12:40 - 12:48
I have to do an explanation. Okay. I mean, I think most people on earth remember Bouncer's dream from Neighbours, but you know, do carry on.
12:48 - 12:56
Bouncer was the dog from Neighbours. Lucy's dog, I believe. Wasn't it Toby Mangle's dog?
12:57 - 13:02
Bouncer definitely lasted a long time. And I do wonder how many bouncers there were.
13:02 - 13:08
As in, wasn't there some awful statistic about the number of Skippies that were used in Skippy?
13:08 - 13:13
Because they would ritually kill each one at the end of the episode. Seemed harsh.
13:13 - 13:21
Yes. He was difficult. There wasn't just one Skippy that they taught to act. And there was one time where they could only find a wallaby.
13:21 - 13:25
So then all the people had to walk with their shoes coming out of their knees.
13:25 - 13:38
So they looked the same height in that episode. I've only realized now, having watched Neighbours for many years as a child, Bouncer is obviously named after the cricket bowl.
13:39 - 13:45
Bouncer. Yeah, I'd never considered it. So then were there other dogs, Yorker and Googly?
13:46 - 13:49
Just short of a length. That's a Yorkshire Terrier called just short of a length.
13:53 - 13:58
Christopher McArthur Boyd. I mean, it's a Hall of Famer episode. We've got to be honest about this.
13:58 - 14:05
Joe says, seriously, how did recounting that day take an hour and a half? Modest Wimper says, at 39 minutes.
14:05 - 14:13
So I got out of bed. Love this podcast. It's the part where he tries to get us to hurry up.
14:15 - 14:26
As you pointed out, had never happened before in the history of the podcast. Moonturnip says, Bane whipping the dad's army boys into demanding smashed potatoes.
14:26 - 14:31
Yes, that was a good bit, wasn't it? Dr. Emmett says, I really feel Max is plaintive.
14:31 - 14:37
I'd love a day where I only played computer games and reheated yesterday's pizza. Sometimes some real honesty comes out, doesn't it?
14:37 - 14:51
It sounded absolutely wonderful. Beagle Bagel Boyd has some criticism. I'm just 10 minutes in. It annoys me more than it should that CMB seemed to be revering to weed edibles, whereas Max appears to have thought he meant CBD gummies.
14:51 - 15:00
And this was never cleared up. I don't know the difference. One just relaxes you, but the other has a psychotropic element to it.
15:00 - 15:07
Right, okay. And I'm not exactly sure. One is legal and available to buy in the UK.
15:07 - 15:16
Right, I see. And the other is, I guess, you have to know someone. You know how like they say, you know, like hooch, you know, alco pops.
15:16 - 15:23
They're appealing to teenagers. I think if you put gummies on the end of drugs, what you're doing is you are.
15:24 - 15:33
But I, as established, I don't know a lot about drugs having taken, I'd say virtually one hash cookie and one hash yogurt in 46 years.
15:34 - 15:46
I do wonder whether the episode, aside from affecting global sales of gummies, did anyone buy a flat pizza after listening to it?
15:46 - 15:54
Did Jamie say, it comes with its own ladder and rope. I mean, that is just, Jamie's couldn't stop laughing when Christopher said that.
15:57 - 16:02
Yeah. Andy says, season one, Max is driving the podcast focus, keeping everything on track.
16:02 - 16:05
Season four, the guests are having to tell him to get it together and focus.
16:05 - 16:14
It's quite the journey. And this imposter chicken on the Reddit page said, I feel like Max could launch a new pseudo psychological positive thinking strategy.
16:15 - 16:21
The that's nice needs doing technique. Every day follows the same routine of acknowledging when something is nice because you like it.
16:23 - 16:29
Or needs doing. So you do it. Which is my two ways of being, right?
16:30 - 16:39
You may say it's a simple, perhaps even himbo approach to living. But perhaps it's time people do a little less thinking, a little more action reaction.
16:40 - 16:45
Yeah. And there was a conversation about whether I was a himbo. And I didn't know what a himbo was.
16:45 - 16:50
But it's obviously the male version of a bimbo. It's a good looking, unintelligent man.
16:53 - 17:04
So this is because you finally unleashed on the world your life philosophy. Yeah. Which was if something, what would I like to do now?
17:05 - 17:10
And then you do that. Yeah. Or what do I need to do now? And I'd also do that.
17:11 - 17:22
Yeah. And the whole aim is to get to bed as quickly as possible. But in the waking hours, I find out what I either would like to do or have to do.
17:22 - 17:28
And I do those things. I like it. It's deceptively simple. I don't think it's deceptively simple.
17:28 - 17:37
I think it's just simple. You're very generous to say there's any level of deception within how I live my life.
17:37 - 17:45
Back to You Can't Freeze Bees. Oh, yeah. Callum says, Hello, everyone, including DOD, Generic Man 3, and the assorted producers.
17:45 - 18:00
On Frozen Bees, I think John Kearns may be getting confused. On a different podcast I listened to while waiting for new installments of What Did You Do Yesterday, one of the participants mentioned that they had an issue with moths eating their woolen garments.
18:00 - 18:10
A fellow listener got in touch with them and said that it is possible to buy frozen micro wasps that you introduce into your home and they will hunt and eradicate the moth problem.
18:10 - 18:17
I can't believe there's another podcast which is the same as ours. I can see where the confusion may have come from with the colors being so similar.
18:17 - 18:23
But as a cat person, a dog filled with evil bastards, wasps, seems like a terrifying prospect.
18:23 - 18:27
Thanks for taking the time to read. Keep up the twice weekly tiredness. In it for life.
18:28 - 18:34
Everything is showbiz. Callum. Callum. So there's Callum with the freezing of the wasps. This is from, well, I'll read it.
18:35 - 18:38
It says, hi, I had to write in at your request for a bee freezer.
18:39 - 18:47
I am not sure if bees should be frozen, but I can tell you that they can be frozen and become reanimated.
18:47 - 18:54
My nickname, short for Elizabeth, don't ask, is Beezer to rhyme with Beezer. Lots of people call me Beezer Bee.
18:54 - 19:06
And as such, I have an affiliation with the Black and Yellow Stripey Fellows. My name also rhymes with freezer, which I will use as an excuse to explain my behavior in this story.
19:07 - 19:15
I can't remember where I heard about doing this, but one day in halls at university, I decided to freeze a rather huge fluffy bumblebee.
19:15 - 19:23
Tie a piece of cotton around it when it was frozen and therefore dozing and wait for it to thaw slash wake up.
19:23 - 19:28
At which point I had a bee on a string, a.k.a. a bee kite.
19:29 - 19:35
We let it fly around our flat on the string for a while before refreezing to untie it and then let it loose.
19:35 - 19:41
In hindsight, seems rather cruel. I can, however, confirm that the bee flew off quite happily afterwards.
19:41 - 19:46
Please don't try this at home. Bees are a precious resource for our planet. And this experiment is definitely not showbiz.
19:47 - 19:50
I love listening to the pod. I lived in Melbourne for a year, 10 years ago.
19:50 - 19:55
So it's nice to reminisce and try and picture the places Max mentioned. Bees are in Bristol.
19:55 - 20:05
So there is proof. Do you know what that is? That is an email for people who haven't been to university and think all university is, is pissing about doing nothing.
20:05 - 20:21
That is an amazing, they had the time to freeze a bee, get a piece of cotton, tie it around the bee, wait for the bee to thaw, take it for a flying walk, fly it around like a kite, freeze it again, untie it and let it free.
20:21 - 20:31
What a great use of a day. I mean, I agree. It seems I don't want the animal rights community to get in touch with us and saying we are promoting bee freezing.
20:31 - 20:36
Yeah. But it does appear in the last couple of weeks. We've, we've increased the amount of chat about bee freezing.
20:36 - 20:50
Also, my other comment on what has just been said is in the previous message, re-wasps, like wasps PR is so bad compared to bees.
20:51 - 21:00
You never hear anything positive about wasps. Do wasps, in fact, do, and you know the way bees pollinate, et cetera.
21:00 - 21:11
Do wasps provide any functions whatsoever? Good question. A wasp's nest is a synonym for something awful.
21:11 - 21:16
You know what I mean? Whereas a beehive. They shouldn't have called, they should have called it something different to get away from that.
21:17 - 21:21
You know, I was bad branding early in the days, wasn't it, for wasps? Exactly.
21:21 - 21:34
Like Irish nationwide building society, the logo was a beehive because implication of, I guess, growth and, but if the logo had been a wasp's nest.
21:34 - 21:41
You're not investing. No way. You're not investing. You're not investing. Hi, Generic Man 3, Doddles, Mars Bar and the hero of Teddington.
21:41 - 21:58
I believe we may have come into possession of Max Rushden's toaster. I was with my partner Liv walking through the northern suburbs of Melbourne last weekend on my way to the overpriced organic shop that Max often visits and then leaves after refusing to pay exilberton prices for milk.
21:58 - 22:02
Yes. On said walk, we came across a green DeLonghi toaster left on the street corner.
22:03 - 22:10
Now, I'm well aware that Max is a local to Melbourne's inner north, and it is well documented that he aspires to graduate from DeLonghi to Dualit.
22:11 - 22:15
Can you confirm whether Max has finally upgraded? And is this the toaster in question?
22:15 - 22:25
Max's old toaster, photo of DeLonghi, attached. If this is true, I promise to dine out on this story for at least as long as Max has been dining out on his Trevor Nelson microwave anecdote.
22:25 - 22:39
Much love, Tim. Melbourne's inner north. Oh, did you get a new toaster and then leave the old toaster out on the sidewalk in Melbourne's inner north, Max Rushden?
22:40 - 22:53
I did not. Oh. But I'm very pleased that for a small time, Tim and Liv were excited to see a toaster and think they knew whose toaster it might be.
22:53 - 22:57
But look, they've now got it. It looks really good. Lovely green DeLonghi they've got there.
22:57 - 23:02
I doubt it works. So that's excellent. I would say there would be other giveaways that it was your toaster.
23:02 - 23:11
For example, I would imagine Ian has pushed a few hot wheels into it over time, literally in an attempt to heat up those wheels.
23:11 - 23:20
It will surprise you, David, given our level of parenting. We have managed to keep the toaster at a height which is away from two tiny children.
23:21 - 23:30
Yeah. Thank you for that faith you have in me. In the past, I have heard the beautiful tales of you and Ian, for example, making porridge, etc.
23:31 - 23:47
I would imagine because Ian is a man of initiative. I can see him then pouring porridge oats directly into the toaster in an attempt to sort of auto-Lenghi a new column of upright porridge.
23:48 - 23:55
No, it's a good point, isn't it? Now, look, we've got so much feedback. We're going to have to save some for next week because we've got some.
23:55 - 24:00
The trousers. We've got the trousers. The trousers took eight minutes. It's a great eight minutes.
24:00 - 24:06
We should put that bit on a video and put that out on YouTube and see if that gets us to our magic million.
24:07 - 24:18
Anna says, hello to my favorite podcasters and Max. Hang on. It seems unkind. I just started a new job in IT for my local council.
24:18 - 24:23
And on my third day, we had a leadership meeting in which my manager announced, BOC has been activated.
24:23 - 24:33
So we will need everyone with capacity to head upstairs to support the function. Thankfully, when he saw my eyes widen and my body tense up trying to restrain the laughter from erupting out of me,
24:33 - 24:38
he reassured me that my services were not needed as I have a new starter inductions to focus on.
24:38 - 24:43
I shudder at the thought of how many of my local government colleagues are contributing eight hours a day to the BOC.
24:43 - 24:47
But sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Thank you for continuing to be the center of the known universe.
24:48 - 24:58
Everything is showbiz. From Anna. Thank you, Anna. Let's get down to They're Just Normal Countries.
24:58 - 25:02
Would you like to play They're Just Normal Countries, David? I would love to play They're Just Normal Countries.
25:03 - 25:07
I've sort of run out of jokes to make when you do the long list of countries.
25:07 - 25:13
Yeah. So I think today's one, I'll say tough World Cup group when you have said them all.
25:13 - 25:21
Okay. Fine. Okay. So let's play They're Just Normal Countries. I am the one and only.
25:23 - 25:34
What country could I be? I am the one and only. Where in the world could our listeners be?
25:38 - 25:49
So here we go then. Guesses so far. Madagascan, Emilia, Costa Rica, Uganda, North Korea, Guyana, Northern Mariana Islands, Bhutan, Brunei, Nepal, Eswatini, U.S. Virgin Islands, Equatorial Guinea, San Marino.
25:49 - 25:55
Correct. Liechtenstein, Turkmenistan, Seychelles, Mauritius, Georgia, Vatican City, Oman, Fiji. Correct. Manuatu, Bolivia, Faroe Islands.
25:56 - 26:05
Correct. Belarus, Palau, Aruba, Ecuador, Iraq, Gabon. Correct. Eritrea, Andorra, Peru. Reunion. That would be a tough World Cup group.
26:07 - 26:15
Actually, it wouldn't. Actually, it would be a long World Cup group, but really none of those teams are good.
26:16 - 26:26
I think Peru are going to win this. I think Peru and Iraq have got a really good chance of getting out of Group G, which is bizarrely 32 countries long.
26:26 - 26:31
To the listeners, something really interesting happened there. When we were suddenly on Max's home turf.
26:32 - 26:40
Oh, yeah. Just talking endlessly about obscure football. I just got the sense there. He could have just done a bit of analysis.
26:40 - 26:49
A lot of people talking about Eswatini this year, but we'll have to see if the boys can pull it off when they get to Tonga.
26:50 - 26:55
Graham writes, Hi, Max, David and Mars Bar. I was listening to, how do I pronounce?
26:55 - 27:04
Aoife again? Aoife? Aoife. Like FIFA? Excuse me, Aoife. Sorry, Aoife. Aoife like FIFA. I was listening to Aoife's guests for They're Just Normal Countries and Max's mention of FIFA and Trump's Peace Prize.
27:04 - 27:06
And it dawned on me no one has guessed Greenland yet.
27:06 - 27:17
I'm not sure if the knowledge that Greenland has only one listener to the center of the known universe will in fact spur Trump on or act as a deterrent when he realizes that Greenland is in fact a country and not his plaything.
27:17 - 27:25
It may even help to end a pending global conflict and get the pod nominated for its own Nobel Peace Prize and prove that it is in fact the center of the known universe.
27:26 - 27:29
Massive fan of the pod. Been here since day one. Keep up the good work.
27:29 - 27:33
Everything is showbiz. Truly in it for life. Many thanks, Graham. This is a good guess.
27:34 - 27:44
Now, population of 57,000. This is what I've learned in recent times. But there is an American base there that I think has 1,500 people on it.
27:45 - 27:49
I think they're bigger in Greenland than one. But let's find out. Producer Will. Yes, Will.
27:49 - 27:59
Is Greenland a normal country? Ah! How many? Nought! What? Oh, man! But J.D. Vance went there.
27:59 - 28:06
Suddenly. J.D. Vance went there. He's a huge fan. He loves it. He loved the Rose Matafeo ep, didn't he?
28:06 - 28:10
Constantly messaging us about that. He's like, can't wait for the, when's the Rubio episode out?
28:10 - 28:17
He keeps saying, get it out. Anyway, so there we are. Do you have any questions for me, David?
28:17 - 28:24
I have one question for you. What time did you get up at yesterday? And then that's it.
28:24 - 28:32
Whatever time you say, end of the podcast. Okay. The lines are blurred here, but at 4.15 a.m.
28:32 - 28:39
Oh. Okay. We'll have to keep going with this, but shit. Willie wakes up. Jamie arrives in the daybed, feeds him.
28:40 - 28:48
I go to the daybed. Jamie then gets me at five. So I think at five, I think we'd say five for me, because I probably did get a bit of shut eye there.
28:48 - 28:54
Yeah. So at five, I then swap back in and I try and settle Willie Rushden for 45 minutes.
28:54 - 28:59
So from five to 5.45. But I am not really with it. Okay. Yeah. But Ian's conked.
29:00 - 29:06
This is great. Ian's asleep. We're just dealing with one guy. Great is not necessarily the word, but it's not as bad as if they're both are.
29:07 - 29:11
Okay. But I'm just not really with it. Okay. And that's important for the tape early on.
29:12 - 29:26
So 45 minutes, no luck. He's just been quiet for five minutes. So what I am now like, he's in the cot next to the bed and I've moved the pillow to the other end of the bed and I'm lying on the bed with my arm over in the cot.
29:26 - 29:32
And it's actually put my shoulder up because it's a bit high and I'm just feeling about and just trying to rub a little bit of him.
29:33 - 29:39
But I'm really, I'm not giving it my all because it's been a long night, but I'm sort of there.
29:39 - 29:51
He's gone quiet. Then I hear the sprinting feet of Ian Rushden-Bruce. Yes! And I don't need this, but I don't have the fast twitch fibers to get out of bed to hold the door closed.
29:51 - 29:57
So he comes into the room, bangs open the door, like it smashes into the dresser on the side.
29:58 - 30:03
And I'm like, shh. And then he's like, well, he's awake because he starts crying.
30:03 - 30:08
So the three of us are awake. Brilliant. What a classic caper of a day this is going to be.
30:09 - 30:18
Now, like I put him into the cot. This is actually quite cute. They both just hold on to the side of the cot and jump to just do some jumping.
30:18 - 30:23
Right. And my hope is they'll just do this jumping for maybe two hours. So I just lie there with my eyes closed.
30:24 - 30:31
Interruption. What you don't know is that I have hacked into one of Ian Rushden's trains.
30:31 - 30:39
And so when I know it's your yesterday to keep it spicy, I start being like, mind the gap!
30:39 - 30:45
Mind the gap! Until he wakes up and then he thunders in to see you so he can have these fun times.
30:46 - 30:53
Jump, jump, jump. So we sit in the playroom. Jamie's asleep in Ian's bed. Okay.
30:53 - 30:59
Ian is making a magnet tiles house. Willie is trying to knock down the same magnet tiles house.
30:59 - 31:03
They're not on the same page, David. That's what's happening here. It's a tough grand design.
31:03 - 31:10
It is. Ian has said that mama told him he could get her at 6am.
31:10 - 31:15
So I'm thinking, okay, well, then I can get you at 6am. So it's now 6am.
31:16 - 31:21
I go in and Jamie's in Ian's bed. It's tiny. So I think, well, she's probably just awake.
31:21 - 31:26
So I go and say, hey, it's six o'clock. I'm so tired. And Jamie wakes up.
31:26 - 31:29
She's not amused. I said, I'll sleep six till seven. You can have seven till eight.
31:30 - 31:36
I go to sleep. It transpires that actually I thought when he'd woken up at 4.15, that I'd gone straight in at 4.15.
31:36 - 31:45
So I didn't know about the 4.15 to 5am bit when we were sort of discussing the bit later in the day, like who'd had the most or the least sleep.
31:46 - 31:50
It's not a competition. What a chap. Yeah. Anyway, I go to sleep at six.
31:50 - 31:55
At 6.25, Ian wants to show me his mobile-o snapper. So he pulls my leg hair with that.
31:55 - 31:59
He goes away at 6.45. He comes in because he wants to sleep in the dark with me.
31:59 - 32:05
So that's fine. It's 7am. Jamie requests my presence in the living room. Oh, wow.
32:06 - 32:10
Yeah. So I'm into the living room. Spurs are kicking off against Dortmund. Jamie doesn't go back to sleep.
32:11 - 32:16
I spend most of the time watching the first half, sitting on the floor of the bathroom while Willie takes a very long bath.
32:16 - 32:25
It's been a good half for Thomas Frank. So that's great. Jamie has dressed the kids, fed them.
32:25 - 32:30
Well, Willie's in the bath again. They've been dressed. Willie then has lots of yogurt, so he needs a bath, just constantly having baths.
32:31 - 32:37
But that's fine. It's good. He's now at a level where he can sit in the bath without just falling backwards and drowning himself immediately.
32:37 - 32:48
And so you can leave him for a few seconds. But he's also now big enough that he can get out of the bath so you can't leave him for too long because then he just wanders into the kitchen like a soaking wet baby,
32:48 - 32:53
which is what he is. What a magical time. Maybe the best time. These are the best times of your lives.
32:54 - 32:58
Yeah. Yeah. This is great. I think so. It's eight o'clock in the morning. I drive Ian to Kinder.
32:58 - 33:03
He's happy. I drop him off. He's moving Kinder soon. This is like his last week here.
33:03 - 33:08
But he seems pretty chill about it. There's a wave goodbye window, which I didn't know about.
33:08 - 33:13
But anyway, I normally just say, see you later. And he's fine. He's placed some magnet tiles.
33:13 - 33:18
Yeah. Quite often when I'm leaving, there's like kids sort of screaming at their mums out the window going, don't go.
33:19 - 33:23
And the mum's like sort of walking backwards. And like Ian's had this time, all kids go through at some point.
33:24 - 33:31
So anyway. Interruption. I love the idea of him moving to the other Kinder. He's played at KG for the previous month.
33:32 - 33:39
He's going right now. My only thoughts are for this Kinder. Yeah. Tomorrow. Who knows?
33:39 - 33:47
But he's slightly agitating. He's been complaining about the board of this Kinder. He did say, look, I'm just going to take each game as it comes.
33:47 - 33:54
Yeah. He is still turning up and delivering on a daily basis. So like his professionalism actually can't be questioned.
33:54 - 33:58
You know, he's not gone on strike, but what, like he's gone for a big fee.
33:59 - 34:09
And the real worry is, will he settle? You know, like the new Kinder triggered his release clause, but it takes time sometimes at a bigger Kinder to settle.
34:09 - 34:13
So we'll see how that goes. And there is some, still some paperwork we haven't done yet.
34:13 - 34:18
Cause we don't understand it. It's on an, it's on an app, which is driving us completely fucking insane.
34:19 - 34:25
I drive to a cafe standing room. Jamie's there. I have a long black and a croissant.
34:26 - 34:31
It's really nice. Willie's wondering about getting in the dog bowl. We're sitting outside. He's getting in the dog bowl.
34:32 - 34:39
There's a deck, which is a bit higher. At some point he rolls off the deck onto the concrete and there's an audible kind of, Ooh, from the people sitting on the deck.
34:41 - 34:47
Is it still 42 degrees? No, no, it's nice now. It's nice now. And he's fine.
34:48 - 34:52
And I think he's fine. And that's fine. So it's fine. So Jamie takes him for a nap walk.
34:52 - 34:54
I watched the end of the Spurs game. Then the highlights of the other games.
34:54 - 34:59
I do the football weekly script. I go to the supermarket. I buy two lottery tickets.
34:59 - 35:04
They're insanely expensive for Australia. Cause you can't buy like $1. You have to spend like $10.
35:04 - 35:09
So you buy a ticket for Thursday and Saturday, you're spending like 10 quid at the very least.
35:09 - 35:13
They're not scratchies. They're the ones where you have to follow the TV draw or whatever.
35:13 - 35:16
You have to wait or you can scan your phone and it says no one prize.
35:17 - 35:25
And I'm just waiting for it to say $20 million. So I'll be like, sure. When you keep doing the podcast then, if you win it for life, I mean it for life.
35:25 - 35:31
Yeah. 20 mil, your days will become tedious. You know what I mean? I was woken at 9.
35:32 - 35:37
AM by Garcon, who told me that one of the children was asking after me.
35:37 - 35:44
I said, come back at 11. I said, he must stay in India until he is 18.
35:46 - 35:51
I go to the supermarket. I'm in the supermarket. Then I get some ingredients cause I'm going to cook dinner.
35:51 - 36:02
What? From scratch. Shit. So you buy a cardboard box and then you buy. I buy one piece of parsley and one clove of garlic.
36:02 - 36:07
Back at home, Jamie's rearranging the playroom. We have a disagreement about a chest of drawers.
36:07 - 36:10
I want to put it on marketplace. She just wants to leave it on the nature strip.
36:11 - 36:18
So someone just takes it. There's more of a culture of this. There is. And there certainly is in Dublin or London.
36:19 - 36:24
Here's a fun aside. Currently on our nature strip is a table. That's an old battered table.
36:24 - 36:28
It's no good. And it's been in our back garden for about a year. Here.
36:29 - 36:33
And I've been like, I'll, I'll measure it all. And I'll put it on Facebook marketplace for 20 bucks or whatever.
36:34 - 36:39
Yeah. And Jamie's like, just chuck it on the nature. So eventually we book hard rubbish, which is where the council come and take all your stuff.
36:40 - 36:46
And. So lousy. You pay like 40 quid. And they take loads of stuff. So anyway, we put all that stuff out.
36:47 - 36:51
Our neighbor, one of our neighbors says, Oh, can I take that table? We're like, fine.
36:52 - 36:55
Hard rubbish comes, take everything out. But we really wanted them to just take the table.
36:55 - 36:59
It's fine. Table's gone. That's fine. Two weeks later, the table just appears back on our nature.
37:01 - 37:07
The neighbor was like, it's a shit table. And I was like, you can't just, you know, that's your table.
37:07 - 37:13
And she's like, Oh yeah. My sister took it. It's not really. Anyway. So after the text, it was quite a friendly exchange.
37:14 - 37:21
I put the table back on her nature strip. But a few days later, Jamie just sent me a photo of it back on our nature strip.
37:21 - 37:25
So we're like, Oh, well, I can't, I'm too tired to like, I can't be bothered with this.
37:25 - 37:29
We paid to have this taken away. And now we've still got it. It's very annoying.
37:29 - 37:36
So anyway, we move the, we move the chest of drawers. I push it through the house, hopefully not wrecking the floors.
37:36 - 37:42
It's quite heavy, but it's okay. And that's just on the porch. And I really need a tape measure, but I can never find the tape measure.
37:42 - 37:52
So that is where that is. We move stuff around in the playroom. And the issue we have is the door of the playroom is coming off its hinges.
37:52 - 37:57
I can't fix that. Wow. And so we just stick a table against it and hope it doesn't fall off onto one of the children.
37:58 - 38:04
That's what. It sounds like a haunted house. This. We need a handyman. Just when you come to Melbourne, David, bring a drill.
38:05 - 38:10
Yeah. I'd fix all of, I would love that. Also the use of the phrase nature strip is funny.
38:10 - 38:15
I've just like, I know what you mean by it, but there's no way. It's such an Australian thing.
38:15 - 38:20
Yeah. Yeah. It's just not that. It's just the pavement. There's not like the bit of grass you can put all that.
38:20 - 38:25
And also the weather's just well, you know, you can't just put furniture out in the UK, can you?
38:25 - 38:35
Cause it just gets wrecked. Although when I lived in Wilmington square with my friends in my last share house, and as we left and we'd sort of accumulated over the years,
38:35 - 38:38
I was kind of the last one staying, you know, cause everyone else got married before me.
38:39 - 38:43
We'd accumulated all this terrible furniture stuff. We, we sort of left a sofa out the front.
38:43 - 38:50
And then one night it was just burning in the middle of the square. And we were like, this is exactly how it should have gone.
38:50 - 38:57
It's a, it's a very different intro to friends that one, where the couch is flaming as Ross tries to sit at it.
38:58 - 39:03
Jamie goes out. I make Willie lunch and I start on the dinner. He's head biting my legs and generally being annoying.
39:03 - 39:11
So I stick him in the high chair early. The idea is wait until he's eating, but I stick him in the high chair with a tambourine in the morales.
39:11 - 39:26
And I put on, I love your smile by Shanice. It's really fun. And then that's great because that brings on a, I love your smile playlist.
39:27 - 39:33
So like I've made them a boil egg and soldiers. I run the bath. I knew you were waiting for me comes on.
39:34 - 39:44
George Michael and there's Aretha. Then it's the hedgehog theme that Janet Jackson sung. Then there is a, there is a club mix of finally that does CC Penniston, no favors,
39:44 - 39:50
but it's good fun, but we're having a good time. On Christmas, I bought too many sausages for pigs in blankets.
39:50 - 39:54
Cause I bought big sausages. Cause I couldn't find little ones at one butcher. Then I've got little ones.
39:54 - 39:59
So I've got the big sausages. I've taken them out of the freezer. I'm making a kind of sausage, leek, mushroom, pasta dish.
39:59 - 40:05
I'm using a Rachel Roddy recipe book called the 80 set of pasta. I mean, I probably could make this by myself, but I thought I'll see what she says.
40:06 - 40:12
Great. I'm sauteing the leek and breaking up the sausages. Whoa. Peel one tomato. It's quite satisfying in the boiling water, isn't it?
40:12 - 40:15
And then it all just peels off. Willie briefly chokes on a piece of toast.
40:16 - 40:19
Panic goes from naught to a thousand. Then he coughs it up and back to naught again.
40:19 - 40:25
This happens a lot. Have you ever had to turn him upside down? What's the official thing you do?
40:25 - 40:29
Whack on the back. I think it's whack on the back. Normally you do nothing.
40:29 - 40:37
And I just eventually, Ian had one really bad episode with a slice of Granny Smith and I panicked and my friends whacked him on the back and he was fine.
40:38 - 40:43
Okay. Yeah. So that's a good sign if I'm on my own. Yeah. Jamie comes home.
40:43 - 40:51
She puts him in the bath. I clean the high chair. Cleaning the high chair is the straps of the high chair are some of the most saddest bits of fabric.
40:51 - 40:56
If that, you're a piece of fabric that has ended up there, you know, that's worse than being in the gusset of your trousers.
40:56 - 41:02
It's just like a terrible thing. Anyway, so yeah, I washed that, but I mean, in Australia, you're lucky.
41:02 - 41:05
You could just sort of chuck it in the garden and just pour some hot water over it and it'll dry.
41:06 - 41:11
Willie's ready for a nap. I'm ready for a nap. 1 p.m. He's asleep. I get into bed.
41:11 - 41:16
I do a little bit of work that I'm doing for Cambridge United. Whoa. Pro bono work.
41:16 - 41:22
Love the club. They've done a lot for me. Are you the number one celeb fan, would you say, of Cambridge United?
41:22 - 41:28
There's me, there is the broadcaster, Mark Saggers, and there's one half of Groove Armada.
41:32 - 41:38
There's rumours about Jamie Oliver and Warwick Davis, but they are sort of bullshit. So that's sad for them, isn't it?
41:38 - 41:44
That's sad for the club that they just don't ring up anyone. One half of Groove Armada.
41:44 - 41:49
It's the trombone guy. That's cool, then. Tom Findlay, very, he's a good footballer, actually.
41:49 - 41:52
Turns out he's an Arsenal fan as well, but good left foot. Is he the tall one?
41:52 - 41:55
No, that's the other one. I don't know, I don't think the other one supports Cambridge United.
41:55 - 42:04
No, I should check. Mental note, check with the other half of Groove Armada. Five past one, I'm asleep.
42:04 - 42:13
It's 3pm. We've both slept for two hours. That's good. Wow. We're both awake. I hand Willie to Jamie.
42:14 - 42:24
I go to a cafe to do some more work. I'm trying to do something for YouTube, which a production company comes to me, which on the face of it is interviewing lots of Australian football players.
42:24 - 42:29
What I want it to be is interviewing the same Australian player once a week as we play golf together.
42:30 - 42:42
So the first one is playing golf with this guy, Archie Thompson, who was there, watched me when I reversed part of the Subaru, but he also has the world record for the most number of goals scored in an international match.
42:42 - 42:47
He scored 13 goals for Australia when they beat American Samoa 31. I've seen the documentary about it.
42:47 - 42:53
You've seen the documentary. Yeah, yeah. Incredible. So anyway, so I've just got to look through what are we going to ask him on the golf course?
42:53 - 43:02
That's fine. Are you worrying about the golf, being able to acquit yourself reasonably? Like this, I didn't know about this golf aspect of your personality.
43:03 - 43:08
David, I am. Jamie knows this. Yeah. I haven't played golf in four years. Hmm.
43:08 - 43:16
And I couldn't really play golf unless there was some work reason behind it. So I'm just excited that I'm going to go and play golf.
43:16 - 43:20
But you're going to be shit. Well, that happened today. So I can't tell you.
43:21 - 43:27
Oh, wow. Yeah. I'll get sent some of it. I'll send it if it doesn't even get to YouTube.
43:27 - 43:30
Cause I don't, we couldn't work out if it was what it's going to be.
43:30 - 43:33
Cause I had this idea. Like we came up with questions. I had this idea.
43:33 - 43:40
This is something I sometimes do. I used to have to go to a lot of sort of charity dinners, football dinners, you know, and stuff.
43:40 - 43:43
And you're sat next to somebody and sometimes, you know, you can't be bothered with small talk at all.
43:44 - 43:50
And I suppose in like the grand version of what did you do yesterday? If I met someone, I haven't, if I've never met someone, I sat next to them and I think,
43:50 - 43:55
well, we're either going to go around the houses or I'll just say, tell me your entire life history.
43:55 - 44:01
And then I'll just let them go. And it's quite good. Cause it's actually takes you sort of more interesting than just, Oh, what do you do?
44:01 - 44:06
Oh, that's, you know? So anyway, I thought maybe we'd do that, but we didn't do that, but I can't tell you about it.
44:06 - 44:11
Yeah. Okay. I buy a bottle of wine. I put a little bit of that in the sausages that have been cooking with the leaks.
44:11 - 44:19
I make Willie some ravioli. Jay gets Ian from Kinder. It's 5. PM five till seven feels like a day in itself.
44:19 - 44:29
It is cleaning and cooking and washing up and children. We do have a bit of respite when me, Ian and Willie watch the Elizabeth line on YouTube for 20 minutes.
44:29 - 44:32
Yeah. It's like commuting, but you're just sat at home in the living room. It's good.
44:32 - 44:38
You don't get anywhere, but it's actually more relaxing. Ian. Sorry. Is putting out just in Kinder.
44:38 - 44:45
Cause he knows that the move is going to go through. He's just putting out slightly divisive stuff.
44:45 - 44:49
You know what I mean? Yeah. He just weirdly said, I'll really miss the fans of this place.
44:49 - 44:55
And people are now trying to what? What does this mean? Checking the gossip columns.
44:56 - 45:04
Fabrizio Romano's tweeted about him. Yeah. He's been seen trying to get an apartment in Melbourne's outer West.
45:05 - 45:11
There is a slight altercation with Ian's feet and Willie, which means TV time is over, which is devastating for everybody.
45:12 - 45:19
It's obviously devastating for Ian, but it's also devastating for me because now TV time is over, but that's okay.
45:19 - 45:23
The past is delicious. The past is great. We're really happy. Oh yeah. It's five past seven.
45:23 - 45:27
I come to the shed. It's football weekly. We're looking back on yesterday's champions league games.
45:27 - 45:33
That finishes at half past eight. So I finished that, send all that, go out to the house, get into bed.
45:33 - 45:39
And that's really nice. Yeah. And then my alarm goes off at 11 PM and I'm up again.
45:40 - 45:48
And I do a line check with talk sport. And that's all fine. There's an, a meeting at half 11 with a lot of talk sport presenters.
45:48 - 45:52
Most of them are there, but quite a lot of us are online with some people.
45:52 - 45:56
I think football, but I'm not allowed to talk about it. They said, what happens in this room stays in this room.
45:56 - 46:00
Wow. I was like, but it's my yesterday. And they were like, that doesn't mean anything.
46:02 - 46:07
That's fine. I'm not like me, but I have to leave the meeting early because we're on air at midnight, my time, 1 PM.
46:08 - 46:12
It's me and Andy Jacobs. We should get on this podcast because he'd be very funny.
46:13 - 46:17
And highlights of the show. Andy Parsons was on. So that was nice. Oh yeah.
46:17 - 46:23
Transpired that Andy Jacobs had bumped into him at Waterloo station and had got him completely lost about an hour before the show.
46:24 - 46:27
And Andy Parsons had just left. And he was like, I know how to get to talk sport.
46:28 - 46:32
And it got lost. And so they just departed. And then they came together in the studio for the interview.
46:32 - 46:38
Did you mention Andy Parsons that several people thought he may have been half of the Teddington two?
46:38 - 46:46
Oh, I didn't actually. Yeah. We also interviewed, uh, one of the bobsleigh riders from the Jamaican bobsleigh team.
46:46 - 46:51
No way. Cool runnings. Cool runnings. Exactly. So I was saying, feel the rhythm and lucky egg.
46:51 - 46:57
And he said, actually, you've got to embrace that as a Jamaican bobslayer. You can't just go, look, we're actually serious sports people.
46:58 - 47:02
And you're talking about John Candy, but he used to be a British, uh, bobslayer.
47:02 - 47:07
And then he retired and now his dad and his granddad are Jamaican. So he's going to represent Jamaica, but he was great.
47:07 - 47:11
He was really good fun. I did get sent a couple of good texts, which I sent to you.
47:11 - 47:21
Yeah. Which I think are worth reading. There are texts of people who are frustrated, not so much with things that you've said, but just with your entire being.
47:21 - 47:31
But what were the things that you said on the show that triggered this? I'm not going to say wave of negativity, but one guy in particular who was really having a go.
47:32 - 47:36
Yeah. Well, the first text I just started, I just announced that I was there.
47:36 - 47:40
I just said, welcome. Good afternoon. I'm Max Rushden. And this text came in. Oh no.
47:40 - 47:52
Another afternoon with Max Rushden, the replacement bus service of talk sports. Why can't he and his voice stick to annoying the Australians?
47:52 - 48:01
So that was really good. Then a bit later in the show, Miguel Delaney, the independent journalist came on and we were talking about the fact that there's a petition in the Netherlands,
48:01 - 48:11
just the Netherlands, about a hundred thousand people have signed it saying boycott the world cup, a couple of prominent people, one in a manager, Claude De Waugh, who's managed a lot of African teams,
48:11 - 48:17
quite reputable guy in football, managed Cambridge United randomly in 03. It was terrible, but that's not really relevant.
48:18 - 48:25
He said, they should boycott. There was a meeting of sort of UA for FA heads about what are we going to do?
48:25 - 48:28
So anyway, we talked about that. We didn't say we should boycott the world cup.
48:28 - 48:31
We were like, this is going to be quite interesting to watch as this progresses.
48:32 - 48:40
The Davos speech that Trump was doing was happening exactly at the same time. So we will, you know, we didn't know that he at that point just said, Oh, actually I won't use force.
48:40 - 48:46
And we were like, what happens if Denmark qualify and Trump's trying to take Greenland, whatever this is, this will be interesting to see.
48:46 - 48:54
So anyway, yeah, it was a really good journal on this. And we chatted about him and John McIntyre sent a text going, get this crap off.
48:55 - 49:03
And then sent another text, Max, the left wing globalist puppet. Oh dear. It is true.
49:04 - 49:11
Ian, however, is the puppet master. And that's why it's a little bit confusing. So that's good.
49:11 - 49:16
By about 2.45am, I'm getting a bit sleepy. And then I call Andy Charlie a few times.
49:17 - 49:20
And he's like, you're a bit, you're a bit tired now, Max. I'm like, yeah, I'm a bit tired.
49:20 - 49:24
When's this show finishing? And then it finishes at three in the morning. Then I go to bed.
49:24 - 49:32
So that's good. These days, as a, David O'Doherty, as David O'Doherty. And I would say, I'm speaking for all of the listeners here.
49:33 - 49:48
We probably had one or two days in our life, similar to this day, which is a day where maybe you've flown to Mumbai or something and had to get up and go for a dinner.
49:49 - 49:54
And then you had to do a work thing four hours after that. So you had a little, you know what I mean?
49:54 - 50:05
So I feel it's relatable, but at the same time, this is very much your everyday at the moment, but it's not going to be like this for much longer, Max,
50:05 - 50:14
you know? Well, have I been fired? What's happened? Yeah, this is Robert McIntyre. is in fact, he has just bought talksport.
50:14 - 50:20
And he's told me to tell you that you're absolutely done. No more left with globalist puppets.
50:20 - 50:26
Yeah. I sometimes think if it's sustainable, because it's awfully late, you know, that's only one day a week.
50:26 - 50:30
It just so happens that quite often, that's the day after you do a mayhem.
50:30 - 50:36
I'm not doing that every night. So that's, you know, but then Willie wakes up at 3.15 AM.
50:37 - 50:42
And so then I'm in to sort that out. So do I get to sleep?
50:43 - 50:51
I don't really remember. Like at some point, Jamie comes into the, this is this morning now, but it's half past seven.
50:51 - 50:55
And she's like, how did Willie, you get Willie to sleep? And I say, I don't know if I did.
50:55 - 51:15
So maybe I was unconscious before he was. So there we are. Anyway, we are very grateful that you get yourself in such a fine mental condition to do these podcasts that bring so much joy to me and the other listeners.
51:15 - 51:22
Thank you. Maud says, I just fell to my knees and cried. David, why? When he mentioned providing the cheeses for the evening soiree.
51:22 - 51:27
Yeah. The plate competition still alive. But the thing is, the plate competition episode came out like yesterday.
51:27 - 51:30
So I don't think we've been through the emails for the guesses for the plate competition.
51:31 - 51:39
So that competition is still live. I'm not letting it go. If you announce any cheeses at any time on this podcast, it becomes a quiz.
51:39 - 51:58
We know the rules. Anyway, let's play. They're just normal cheeses. Five. Four. Three. Two.
52:00 - 52:32
One. Cheese! This is cheese! Welcome to they're just normal cheeses. It's a one cheese board.
52:32 - 52:37
No, it's a four cheese board. We have one cheese. Yeah, but I'm one in the wrong place.
52:37 - 52:40
It's a three and a half cheese board. It's a three and a half cheese board.
52:41 - 52:50
This email comes in from Simeon Craig. Hi, Max, DOD and team. I have very little to offer in this email as I'm listening to this very late at night and I need to go to sleep.
52:50 - 52:55
But knowing you often record in advance, I don't want to miss my opportunity for all conquering cheesiness.
52:55 - 53:00
Yada, yada, in it for life. Yada, everything is showbiz. Yada, yada, yada. Great. That's what he says.
53:00 - 53:06
Thank you for making the effort. My guesses are as follows. Brie. Bing, bing, bing, bing.
53:07 - 53:22
Cashel Blue. Bing. Stilton. Baby Bell. I, ah. Now there was a little pause. That better not be a clue.
53:22 - 53:28
Okay. Carry on. That better not be a clue. That's too big of a clue, David.
53:28 - 53:32
That was not a clue. It was way too big of a clue. Read the transcript.
53:32 - 53:38
I said nothing there. That is almost as bad as your Vittorio spoiler. Continue with the cheese.
53:39 - 53:44
Everybody knows if you pause at Baby Bell, what the cheese is, right? Everybody knows.
53:45 - 53:52
They're not idiots. Kerrygold cream cheese. Ah. Okay. So it's a three and a half.
53:52 - 53:58
It's really a three and three quarter cheese board now, but there we are. You know, we're in it for life.
53:58 - 54:08

54:15 - 54:24
And if you didn't, please don't. Thank you, David. I've really enjoyed it. I'm going to put on my trousers now.
54:25 - 54:29
Well, you are dozing off. I would imagine with a child kicking you in the head.
54:29 - 54:35
I'll just be putting on some cool trousers and walking up and down my street, just waggling my butt.
54:35 - 54:45
Will you wear the trousers live in Dublin and live in Melbourne? Too warm, I would say for stage, but I'll certainly wear them on a dank day in Dublin.
54:45 - 54:53
Well, maybe we could dress the, I don't know how we want to dress Vicar Street, you know, like how we want to stage it, but maybe those trousers could be there.
54:53 - 54:58
Okay. Yeah. We'll have them. You don't have to, you don't have to say, yeah, that's a good idea.
54:59 - 55:07
You can say no. Since you spent eight minutes telling all of us about the trousers, the least you could do is show that, show them to the people who pay to watch us.
55:07 - 55:14
That was enthusiasm. And I hope, how did you feel the trousers section went listeners?
55:14 - 55:22
Is it something you'd like me to do every week? Pick another piece of clothing from my wardrobe and talk about it.
55:22 - 55:28
How much I love it. That's something else we can think about in the meantime.
55:28 - 55:58
Thanks, Max. Thank you, David. Everything is showbiz. Hello, yesterday fans. It's me, David O'Doherty, the 1990 East Leinster under 14's triple jump bronze medalist with a little bit of news that Max and I are doing a live show.
55:58 - 56:14
This time in my home, Dublin city, where the ejector seat was invented. Also, I think the hypodermic needle and someone told me the birthday candles you blow out and they come back on.
56:14 - 56:19
It was to do with, I think a lot of explosive type stuff was invented there and that was a byproduct.
56:19 - 56:30
Anyway, we're doing a live show on the 3rd of March in Dublin's beautiful Vicar Street.
56:30 - 56:34
Tickets are on sale now. It's kind of wild.
56:34 - 56:39
We're doing Dublin on the 3rd of March and Melbourne on the 3rd of April.
56:40 - 56:48
And if anyone apart from us goes to both of those gigs, you get a special prize.
56:48 - 56:52
This is my announcement. Now, please enjoy the rest of the podcast.
