Podcasts, there are millions of them. Some might say, too many. I have one already. I don't have any, because there are enough. Politics, business, sport, you name it, there's a podcast about it, and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day. But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Too afraid of being censored by the man?
0:30 - 0:57
Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We try and say it at the same time, Max. What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guests got up to yesterday, nothing more. Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life? Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushden. And I'm David O'Doherty. Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
1:00 - 1:07
Hello, and welcome to Midweek Mayhem. From the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday, my name's Max Rushden, and alongside me, David O'Doherty.
1:08 - 1:18
Listen to that accent, people. He's back where he belongs. He's in London town! Cor blimey, me old mucker. Here I am, back in the United Kingdom.
1:19 - 1:24
Well, the royal family were having trouble, so I had to shoot back to fix things.
1:24 - 1:35
Yes, you really sorted everything out now from what I'm reading. Yeah, I think it'll all be okay now. Now, David, listen, we have a Melbourne show to promote. Robin has been in touch.
1:35 - 1:40
To say, I've delayed a holiday for this. I have to drive to New South Wales after the show.
1:40 - 1:46
Wow. Now, there's another, either the same Robin or a different Robin. Do you remember Leanne got in touch?
1:46 - 1:48
Said, I would come, but there's no trains. No trains.
1:48 - 1:59
There's no trains from Wodonga. Robin says, I've just listened to Wednesday's pod. I can drive Leanne back to Wodonga after the show. I'm staying in Albury that night. If she can find a ride there, I can take her back, no problem.
2:00 - 2:01
So there we go.
2:02 - 2:17
This is like when you're on an under-14 sports team and you stay with your opposite number. Anyone's looking for a place to stay, hopefully we can pair up people. And then when we go back and do our Wodonga tour, people could stay with their opposite numbers there.
2:17 - 2:41
So if anyone else is struggling to get, or just wants to let us know how they're going to get there, I'm interested in that. You know, we can't, we can't just be interested in the banality of the rich and famous. We have to care about the mundane. We'd like to know how each individual guest is going to get there. And then during the show, we'll just read out how every member of the audience got there. That'll fill the hour and then we'll all go home. And then you can tell us how you got home.
2:41 - 3:00
On the subject of the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Oh yeah. A Fern Brady episode has really stayed with me. In particular, her failure to remove the glass from, no, she removes the large bits of glass from the porridge of the smashed jar.
3:00 - 3:09
And then just eats the rest of it and experiences a kind of warm sensation in her throat for the day.
3:09 - 3:21
CNG did say, we needed more information on the Kleptomaniac 300 pound Bulgarian cleaner. And if I may offer a suggestion, some more discouragement of eating glass infused porridge.
3:24 - 3:37
Also the world porridge making championships is an intriguing competition because you're allowed three ingredients. Like there's not much salt, water, oats.
3:37 - 3:44
You've got to go oats. If you don't pick oats in your three, you're up against it is what I think. Some mavericks are trying the oatless porridge.
3:44 - 3:56
Kirstie writes, I was desperate to hear about whether the cats or Fern ate the chicken that Alison Spittle accidentally left and how Fern Brady felt about the broken plate.
3:56 - 4:04
I know this wasn't yesterday, but these feel like important questions. Yeah. What we hadn't done is go back and revisited the Alison Spittle episode to ask these questions.
4:04 - 4:22
So Fern still doesn't know about the broken plate from the Alison Spittle day. Yeah. But if you are ever over in Ferns and you're offered not by Fern, but by the partner, the courgettes, the grown in our garden, do not eat the pissy courgettes.
4:22 - 4:30
That's such a strong line as well. This cat is bigger than a normal cat. How much bigger? I think she said four times bigger.
4:33 - 4:37
Yeah. That is loads bigger, isn't it? That's at some point it no longer becomes a cat.
4:37 - 4:43
Some point it goes into another animal, surely. Yeah. It's He-Man when he would raise the sword.
4:44 - 4:47
Battle cat. Yeah. Battle cat. And Pringer became Battle cat. And now you have Battle cat.
4:49 - 4:57
Kyle's been in touch. He says, so wild that Max said this could be the first moment when people realize we're not the zeitgeist.
4:57 - 5:07
It may have been when I mistook Bad Bunny for Funny Boy. And I didn't, it wasn't intentional. It sounds like the sort of gag you would do going, I don't, I'm not with it. I'm not cool. I actually just got it wrong.
5:08 - 5:12
I think until that moment, I think people might've thought this was cutting edge. Yeah.
5:12 - 5:19
I've let the side down. You're in London now. Funny Boy is in Sydney. Is he?
5:20 - 5:30
Yeah. Bad Bunny's doing Sydney dates. The thing is, we are like, we're too similar and too famous to be in the same country at the same time.
5:31 - 5:37
So Funny Boy got in touch with me and I said, fine, I'll pop back to the UK, you do Australia and then.
5:39 - 5:46
Oh, wow. Because the crowds would be just too, you know, there's only so much policing that you can do, you know.
5:46 - 5:51
So most of the time it's me. And then when Funny Boy comes to Australia, I got to get out of there.
5:52 - 6:00
Ewan says, hello. Since us Oxford fans are having little else to cheer about this season, I'm writing in vain attempt to get Max's most recent bad quiz off the ground.
6:01 - 6:06
This is the David Squires quiz. I don't even know the answer. I don't even know the answer to this.
6:06 - 6:15
Yeah. Who did his friend meet in Dublin, who was an Oxford fan, whose dad is of some notoriety, but we don't know.
6:15 - 6:20
I mean, I had a dreadful thought. I had a really awful thought about this.
6:20 - 6:30
Okay. Did he meet Jelaine Maxwell in Dublin, whose father used to own Oxford United?
6:30 - 6:41
That's possible. I'm so sorry, but it hasn't been taken off the table. No, well, I haven't asked David Squires that, but Ewan says, is the Dublin visitor Oxford United found the child of colourful TV presenter Timmy Mallet?
6:42 - 6:53
And I've checked with David Squires. No. Timmy Mallet from Mallet's Mallet. Timmy Mallet's from Mallet's Mallet. No further explanation for the milkman in Charleston.
6:54 - 6:59
No further explanation required. I have a new quiz, David, but I don't know if it's fair to unleash it on you.
7:00 - 7:05
Oh, no. Is it similar to Mallet's Mallet? Did he hit you on the head with his mallet? With a mallet, yeah.
7:05 - 7:10
If you got a spelling wrong. Yeah, when you say he hit you on the head with his mallet, it sounds more sinister.
7:12 - 7:22
He had a mallet, like a soft toy. And it was a word association game where you'd say biscuits, I'd say tea, you'd say milk, I'd say cow.
7:22 - 7:27
You understand it. Yeah, exactly. Maybe I should save my quiz until... Do we have too many quizzes?
7:27 - 7:31
Yeah, get it out now and I'll tell you if this could be a new quiz.
7:31 - 7:41
Who was on my flight? Perth to London. Well, do you know when I saw them making a toasty? And that's the only clue you'll get. I thought, this is great.
7:42 - 7:50
How do you make a toasty on a flight though? No, no, no. This was in the lounge. Even though I've lost my gold status with Qantas because I've just not been flying enough.
7:50 - 7:56
It let me in. And I went up to check out the buffet and their making a toasty was...
7:56 - 8:00
I'd say it's probably Adam Hill's. It's normally Adam Hill's. No, no, it wasn't Adam Hill's.
8:00 - 8:07
I was like, oh, that's interesting. I won't say hello, but I should have said, you're going to be a great quiz question here.
8:07 - 8:17
Was it the What Did You Do Yesterday listener who collected your ear pods? No, but I owe him a present. Just keep that rummaging away, that little quiz.
8:17 - 8:24
Craig says, hi, Max and DOD. I've been a listener since day one, a founding member, a day one disciple.
8:24 - 8:29
But somehow, for reasons I can't explain, I never got into Midweek Mayhem episodes until two weeks ago.
8:29 - 8:35
Two weeks. And now I've emerged back into the daylight after binge listening every single one of them.
8:35 - 8:39
Oh my God. And I'll be honest, I now think of the two of you as my friends, which is tragic.
8:40 - 8:48
I've listened to the podcast so much, it's infecting my every thought. I find myself having a great day and thinking, only if I had a podcast to share my day with.
8:48 - 8:54
I live in Bergen in Norway, basically Narnia with better sweaters. Yesterday, it snowed heavily.
8:54 - 8:59
And I have this massive, steep driveway that I have to clear myself, a truly thankless task.
8:59 - 9:04
But your podcast got me through it. In fact, I discovered a new snow clearing technique.
9:04 - 9:14
Instead of shoveling, you sort of lunge the snow out of the way. And the more I lunged, the more I started making that kettle, bejoying sound that DOD does.
9:14 - 9:19
At first, it was in my head. But then because I clearly lost the plot, I started doing bigger, more dramatic lunges.
9:19 - 9:25
And the bejoying noises got louder. And before I knew it, I was shouting, bejoying out loud with every more vigor and volume.
9:25 - 9:33
And suddenly, I realized I was at the bottom of my driveway in full view of three neighbors, making aggressive lunge, bejoying noises at the snow.
9:34 - 9:37
They looked confused and concerned. They're like they were mentally drafting the neighborhood watch email.
9:38 - 9:44
And I'm standing there trying to explain why I'm bejoying at my driveway, like some sort of deranged Norwegian mating ritual.
9:44 - 9:48
At this point, I think I need a detox from the podcast for my own mental health.
9:49 - 9:59
So thank you, Craig. That's good, isn't it? I mean, it is one of my favorite sorts of correspondence is what were you doing while you were listening to the podcast?
9:59 - 10:07
And clearing snow from your Norwegian driveway is a really good one. He says, I'm a geologist in the oil industry.
10:07 - 10:18
We use drilling tools that measure formation resistivity. We describe them by their maximum sensitivity and depth of detection, which they describe as DOD.
10:18 - 10:25
So max and DOD. So every time I hear DOD's name, my brain goes, oh yeah, depth of detection, which is not helpful or normal.
10:26 - 10:30
It just shows that everything is connected and indeed showbiz. I love the podcast. I'm in it for life.
10:30 - 10:39
Whether that's healthy or not is unclear, says Craig Saint. Thank you so much. I am also the US Department of Defense.
10:39 - 10:44
I've referred to DOD quite a lot. I believe I don't think you're doing the right things at the moment.
10:47 - 10:52
I think I have to change my name to Department of War. I think I'm now David O'War.
10:52 - 11:01
Yeah. Okay. Much more frightening name. I'm also in murder cold cases. I believe I think I'm dead on delivery.
11:02 - 11:07
Yeah. Sometimes there is a little sign attached to a big toe. Oh, I see.
11:07 - 11:21
An anemically dead person. And that's also me. Okay. Sad if, you know, either of your parents were like Quincy, you know, forensic, you know, whoever does forensics, pathologists.
11:21 - 11:24
And every time they walked in and on every toe, it just said DOD. And I'm like, oh, no.
11:25 - 11:31
And they're like, oh, it's not DOD. That's okay. If you were the, you know, minister of war, would you arm everyone with little keyboards?
11:31 - 11:37
Because actually a little, a whole army phalanx of soldiers running over the top with little keyboards.
11:37 - 11:42
I would be a, it would make war better. I'm Pete Hegseth is one of my aliases.
11:42 - 11:55
And the long-term plan is to replace guns with keyboards. Yes. Yeah. You didn't really do much in Iran, but you did change the hearts of minds with those little tunes.
11:55 - 12:04
Will in Manchester says, dear David, Max and Mars bus, it's Christmas Eve. I have been obsessed with what did you do yesterday after being introduced by my partner's sister.
12:04 - 12:11
Like me, she finds immense satisfaction in the mundanity of life. Consequently, I've binged all 59 midweek episodes in two and a half months.
12:12 - 12:27
I'm rising in with a heartfelt thank you to you, Max. Entirely by accident, Max's enthusiastic consumption of the special chocolates to combat threadworm has contributed to 1% in all six mock exams I've so far completed for my upcoming finals.
12:27 - 12:35
The absurd number of correct answers has satisfyingly projected my score from notable 69% to 70% in all of them so far.
12:35 - 12:42
I've attached an image to demonstrate an important moral truth. Special chocolate, one square, must always be shared with the whole family.
12:43 - 12:48
That's not just advice. It's a way of life. Thank you for contributing to my boredom during the revision season.
12:49 - 12:58
Everything is showbiz. Will, ready and matches. Hang on. Question 43. I don't understand this. Is he using deworming chocolate as a sort of performance enhancing drug?
12:58 - 13:06
No. It's a question in a mock exam. He sent me the screenshot. Question 43 of 6,641.
13:06 - 13:11
God, that's a long exam, isn't it? Well, I'd say you've only scratched the surface, haven't you?
13:11 - 13:18
I reckon by question 4,000, you think we're on the home straight here. The question is, a mother brings her two-year-old to surgery.
13:18 - 13:27
For the past two weeks, he has been complaining of an itchy bottom. He is otherwise well, and clinical examination, including that of the perineal area, is unremarkable.
13:27 - 13:38
How dare you say my son's perineal area is unremarkable. He has one of the most remarkable perineals in the Southern Hemisphere.
13:38 - 13:47
What is the most appropriate management? Hygiene measures and a single dose of medbedenbezole for the whole family.
13:48 - 13:58
Medbezole? There we are. So thank you, and happy to contribute to you becoming a doctor.
13:58 - 14:04
I do wonder about these people who've gone back and listened to all... I enjoy the midweek mayhem.
14:04 - 14:21
Who's to say they're very different to the guest eps? An entirely different thing. But I do wonder, if you were to listen to loads of them, my days are filled with variety, discovery, peak performance.
14:21 - 14:29
But I do wonder if we were to get all 28 of your yesterdays and place them directly on top of each other.
14:30 - 14:38
Are they the same? Nap walk happens at exactly the same time. Dinner in a box.
14:38 - 14:44
Not dinner in a box. You know? It was that message that went, go on, Max, his life is really actually bleak.
14:47 - 14:59
Jill says, Dear Doddles, Generic Man 3, and cross-podcast jock-testing supremo Michael, I would never be so bold as to suggest that you do not have a loyal and robust listenership in the normal country of Czechia.
14:59 - 15:08
So I'm not submitting it as a single listen quiz guest. I'm instead adding to the mounting evidence pile that proves the podcast is the center of the known universe.
15:08 - 15:14
On a recent trip to Prague, I spotted this, what did you do yesterday, personalized license plate.
15:14 - 15:30
One and only. One A-N-D-0-N-L-Y. For God's sake. Clearly owned by a Maxis fan of Maxis quizzes, Pavel's other car is probably TD1 NGTN.
15:30 - 15:41
Teddington, of course. As we posed and sang, my friend, a non-listener, wondered why her rendition of the one and only was OG Chesney style, and mine was slightly weirder.
15:41 - 15:45
Stay attached. Love the show. Jill. Thank you, Jill. And there is the car. Our first ever.
15:45 - 15:49
That would be good merch, wouldn't it? Cars. Can we do cars? Oh my God.
15:49 - 15:58
It's the definitive Max suggestion. Was it Mark Bosnich? Was Mark Bosnich in the Perth lounge making a toasted cheese sandwich?
15:59 - 16:03
Wasn't Mark Bosnich, no. I would have definitely said I know him well. It would have been odd if I hadn't said hi.
16:03 - 16:12
Okay. I don't know this man and no one talked to him. And in moments like that, I'm not recognized often.
16:12 - 16:21
But if someone is actually famous, in moments like that, I'm really hoping someone comes up to me and says, I like the podcast, and then hands a camera to them, a phone to the famous person.
16:21 - 16:26
Could you take a photo of this person? But sadly, that has never, did not happen.
16:26 - 16:36
Stephen Fry, he's the sort of person who would have been doing an erudite tour of large Australian venues reading his memoir.
16:36 - 16:46
I'm not going to say it's hot, but it's warm. Wow. Because it's, so the Venn diagrams we're working with here is man loves a toasted cheese sandwich.
16:47 - 16:53
A toasted cheese sandwich is a mad thing. Can we just say to eat before the 19 hour Perth to London flight?
16:53 - 16:56
Is it? I think it's okay. Yeah, because there was a, there was a Massamam curry.
16:56 - 17:01
That's a mad thing to eat before a 19 hour flight. Whereas a toasty is pretty solid.
17:01 - 17:05
You're going to be stuffed full of food on the flight. No? Am I wrong?
17:06 - 17:11
Well, you see, I ate there and then I went to sleep and didn't eat the dinner that came.
17:11 - 17:19
Okay. Yeah, yeah. Do you want to play the Just Normal Countries? Yes, but I will first say this.
17:19 - 17:29
I was stopped at the lights the other day on my bike because I don't eek around the corner with like a good, obedient road boy cyclist.
17:29 - 17:40
And a really fit looking guy was jogging by. Was it Jack Reacher? No, like more, he looked more middle distance than that.
17:40 - 17:46
Peter Elliott. Peter Elliott. Okay. Silver medalist in the 80s. Possibly even middle to long distance.
17:47 - 18:00
Wilson. Like he was more sinewy than that. But just looked so fit. Like he could have, you know, sometimes in the Olympics, you see like someone tries to run along with the leaders for 200 meters.
18:01 - 18:09
Yeah. And you see that they are sprinting flat out. And the leaders haven't even started yet or are going to sustain this pace for the next two hours.
18:09 - 18:17
You have that in the London Marathon where you get to Tower Bridge and you turn right and the elite athletes are coming back the other way because they're eight miles ahead of you.
18:18 - 18:25
And they're absolutely, they are just sprinting. And you're like, oh my God, I've got a long way to go.
18:25 - 18:33
And they are. They're different. We're not the same species. Yeah. You and the eight other men that you are in a chain gang with.
18:33 - 18:38
You're thinking I may not win this. All dressed as Lord Percy of Dingbat going, I think this was the wrong choice.
18:39 - 18:49
Yeah. You're thinking this may not be my day to podium with these goons. He said he worked for Spotify.
18:49 - 18:59
All right. And he listened to the podcast and he said, I might go into the numbers, like try and hack into the mainframe.
18:59 - 19:04
Oh, yeah. And I said, I'm not against it because I would love for this to be over.
19:04 - 19:09
And I hope you said I am against it. Yeah, exactly. There's no hacking into the mainframe on this.
19:09 - 19:14
This is a pure quiz. And it has barely started. Here we go then. Hit the music.
19:30 - 19:38
Hit the music. Here we go. Previous guesses. I need to take a really deep.
19:38 - 19:41
I can't. I want to do it in one breath. That's my sort of dream.
19:42 - 19:45
Because I have a good diaphragm. Found my clarinet. Found the original clarinet. It's exciting.
19:45 - 19:51
What's the first one? And I'll try and... You know the way when we try, we can't really remember podcasts.
19:51 - 19:56
There are millions of them. What's the first one on the list? And I'll try and do it just off the top of my head.
19:57 - 20:09
Madagascar. Madagascar. Correct. Namibia. Correct. Costa Rica. Uganda. North Korea. Guyana. Northern Mariana Islands. Bhutan.
20:09 - 20:15
Brunei. Nepal. Eswatini. U.S. Virgin Islands. Equatorial Guinea. San Marino. Correct. Liechtenstein. Turkmenistan. Seychelles.
20:15 - 20:20
Mauritius. Georgia. Vatican City. Oman. Fiji. Correct. Manuazi. Bolivia. Faroe Islands. Correct. Belarus. Palau. Aruba.
20:20 - 20:27
Ecuador. Iraq. Gabon. Correct. Eritrea. Andorra. Peru. Reunion. Greenland. The Gambia. Ivory Ghost. Bulgaria. The Solomon Islands.
20:27 - 20:35
Here we go to Craig in Cambridge. Ah. The homeland. Dear Generic Man 3. Doddles and the Chockey Bars.
20:35 - 20:41
Hi Craig. I recently spent a couple of weeks in Sri Lanka. The first course of action after landing was to find a cash machine.
20:41 - 20:49
To my amusement, the first ATM in Colombo International Arrivals Lounge is headed by three brightly lit letters B-O-C.
20:50 - 20:58
Imagine when you went beep, beep, beep, and that came out. I soon discovered this was the National Bank, Bank of Ceylon, and it was everywhere.
20:58 - 21:05
At first, this was whimsical. I could internalize a chuckle every time. Days go by, several dozen B-O-C's later, and I was becoming haunted by this podcast.
21:06 - 21:11
How much jizz could they fit in the vaults? Are people queuing out the door to make deposits or withdrawals?
21:11 - 21:17
Does Sri Lanka have a Chancellor of Cum? He says. Oh my God. You know what?
21:17 - 21:24
I feel better that we'd move beyond this sort of chat. Needless to say, this became very distressing and provided an unwelcome distraction.
21:24 - 21:34
Sri Lanka, a beautiful island of rich culture and endless beaches and forested landscapes, all rendered utterly spoiled as I tormented by jism-adjacent musings.
21:34 - 21:41
As the sole two people responsible for this burden, I feel the only form of exoneration is to allow me a guess at They're Just Normal Countries.
21:41 - 21:45
My guess is, of course, Sri Lanka. I think we're big in Sri Lanka, David.
21:45 - 21:53
I don't know what you think. Sri Wanker as I said it. Oh no. Sorry. Here we go.
21:54 - 22:02
Producer Will, is Sri Lanka just a normal country? No. 33. We're big. We're big in Sri Lanka by then.
22:02 - 22:06
A friend of mine has a guess and he's messaged me with a guess, my friend Matt.
22:07 - 22:09
And I said, you can't come directly to me. You have to use the official channels.
22:09 - 22:18
So he's emailed, what did you do yesterday? pod at gmail.com. And he's very annoyed that despite the fact he's one of my best friends, I've known him since I was 16.
22:18 - 22:26
He has not. That 30 years worth of friendship has not pushed him up the list to be in the, they're just normal countries questions.
22:26 - 22:32
You are so mad about quizzes. Like every single thing. You don't seem to know how to structure them.
22:33 - 22:40
You don't allow people to not go through the correct channels with them. Every single thing.
22:40 - 22:48
Quizzes are just, there's something almost sacred about quizzes for you. Yeah. But now you've said mad about quizzes.
22:48 - 22:56
I hate myself. David, what time did you wake up yesterday? Oh, wow. I wasn't expecting this.
22:57 - 23:05
Prescript. What do you call the thing? Epilogue. Before. Prologue. The prologue. The prologue. This has never happened before.
23:05 - 23:13
And I know will infuriate many of our listeners who do proper jobs, Max. But I went through.
23:13 - 23:24
I mean, I don't think there is a more proper job than this. Yes. I got the day wrong whereby.
23:24 - 23:34
So we're recording this today on a Thursday. Yeah. So I wanted to have a jazzy yesterday.
23:34 - 23:38
Or at least while it was going on, I was thinking, oh, this would be good.
23:38 - 23:45
This would be good. However, I thought Tuesday was Wednesday for the entire day until I texted you right in the end.
23:45 - 23:51
And I was thinking, wow, this is going to be a great yesterday. Yeah. We can't use any of it.
23:51 - 23:56
Nope. Didn't get the email from Mars bar to say we're on recording tomorrow morning.
23:56 - 24:06
And that's when I realized it really annoyed the Helen Copter that because she is very aware what day of the week it is.
24:06 - 24:13
And what the weekend is, et cetera. So I did, however, it's quite a high performance day.
24:13 - 24:24
This one. It begins at seven. Midday. It begins at midday. Covered in chocolate. 7.30. Oh, yeah.
24:24 - 24:31
Helen's got some sort of new ring on her for the wake up that starts gently.
24:31 - 24:39
Oh, different alarm. Okay. A little bit different. I make the minimum wake up sounds.
24:39 - 24:48
And Helen goes down to make a spot of breakfast, some coffee for us. We're almost out of coffee.
24:49 - 25:00
So maybe this one's a little bit weak. Oh, that's always a sad time. She also makes me a bowl of a dish that I called sludge, which she doesn't enjoy me calling it that.
25:00 - 25:06
It's a sort of healthy Greek yogurt with bananas and granola stuff in it. Okay.
25:06 - 25:12
That's not bad. No, it's really good. But yeah, I should think of a nicer name for it.
25:13 - 25:24
Slop? What about slop? Yeah. Much better. We'll try that tomorrow. Okay. Then the most extraordinary noise comes through the house at about 8.30.
25:24 - 25:35
Someone's driven a car through this. Like it's something like that, which is a mixture of vibration and low sort of diarrhea type rumbling.
25:35 - 25:48
And it turns out the neighbors are getting their front of their house repointed, which is where they can go the old cement out from between the bricks.
25:49 - 26:00
And so dook-a-dooka-dooka-dooka. But what you hear from the bedroom, it's more of a sort of fart, more of a like that kind of a sound.
26:00 - 26:06
I understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like dental surgery is taking place. And what time is the first doug-a-doug-a-douga?
26:06 - 26:12
7.45? No, I think they're only allowed to start probably at 8 or half 8. So it's around there.
26:12 - 26:19
Okay, fine. There's nothing to complain about really. I'm not even going to go and ask them how long it's going to take or whatever.
26:19 - 26:25
It'll take as long as it takes. And I guess it's something that needs to be done.
26:25 - 26:32
Helen goes off to work fine. And I got a new phone a few weeks ago.
26:32 - 26:46
I was due the upgrade. And because I am such a high-performance guy, I've spent five minutes of every day with the phone telling me my storage is full.
26:47 - 26:56
And having to delete various old videos and things. Now, some of them are stupid.
26:57 - 27:03
But you never know where the next great idea is going to come from. Recently, my laptop was full.
27:04 - 27:09
My Google Docs was full. Oh, no. Because I think I upload things to a Google Drive, like podcasts and stuff.
27:09 - 27:14
So I was just going, delete, delete, delete, delete. I'd say there was 3,000 bad sitcom ideas.
27:15 - 27:21
The dude had started. Written six episodes of it. God, no, not this. Anyway, I was like, there's nothing important.
27:21 - 27:26
Delete, delete, delete, delete. And I deleted the doc that has all the passwords for everything.
27:29 - 27:35
I just can't get into so many things. My mortgage, you know, I just can't get into it.
27:35 - 27:40
Yeah. That's something to do another time. Yeah. There's no, you can't go and get it back.
27:41 - 27:50
You can't. I deleted it forever. My main user up of space is gigs. I record all of my gigs just on voice memo.
27:50 - 28:00
And you'd be surprised where you come back to a place two years later and you're like, oh, I made up a very funny idea here the last time.
28:01 - 28:07
And the fact that you can then go to it and fly through it. Anyway, I sort of thought about trying to delete all those.
28:07 - 28:18
People are going to say, get cloud space. Get cloud space. Whatever way my phone is, my cloud is just a mirror of what's on the phone.
28:18 - 28:25
Max, stop laughing at this. This is quite high-end tech, Chad. Try to raise the tone of the podcast.
28:25 - 28:31
I understand. Do you know where I've had a problem with my phone is that I landed and everyone's been telling me about an eSIM, right?
28:31 - 28:36
Oh, yeah. Where you just like pay for a SIM card that's less than having data roaming.
28:36 - 28:42
But I've managed to buy an eSIM that doesn't work. And they just say, let's try tomorrow.
28:42 - 28:49
And so every day I then forget. And so I do the data roaming. And then the eSIM doesn't work.
28:49 - 28:53
And then I message the people at the eSIM company going, it doesn't work. Can I have my money back?
28:53 - 28:58
And they say, have you tried these troubleshooting ideas? Here's the FAQs. And I go, I have.
28:58 - 29:02
Can I have my money back? And they say, have you tried these troubleshooting ideas?
29:02 - 29:08
Here's the FAQs. And added to that, I have a UK phone. But I got rid of my contract.
29:08 - 29:11
I do pay as you go. Because I was like, that's a good idea. Because you don't really need it.
29:11 - 29:14
And I made one phone call. And it hung up half way through, because I've run out of credit.
29:15 - 29:20
And I'm there. It's like a thousand pounds a minute. The whole thing is a technological fucking nightmare.
29:20 - 29:30
It's driving me completely insane. One year I went to Australia and thought I could just use, for some reason, Vodafone, who I'm with, don't have a deal with Vodafone.
29:30 - 29:38
Vodafone Ireland, Vodafone Australia are like, we don't even know them. Like, it's just coincidental that we have the same name more than anything.
29:39 - 29:49
And I decided, nah, it'll probably be fine. And on the taxi in from the airport to the hotel, I'd used up the monthly allowance.
29:51 - 29:56
Searching for three banal things. So, yeah, I don't know what to do with Australia.
29:57 - 30:06
I think it's just got a burner phone over there. I have noticed this because you have been texting me on a variety of different numbers.
30:06 - 30:12
I have burner phones because, you know, I'm running a cartel alongside this. So you can't be too careful, David.
30:13 - 30:18
So I order a new phone. I'm sick of this. I'm sick of this. Yeah, good for you.
30:19 - 30:25
And I can trade in the old phone. That's also sad when you go to the shop and you say, I'll trade in the phone.
30:25 - 30:29
And they go, let me, okay, so this is going to cost you. Then we trade in your old phone.
30:29 - 30:37
It'll be six pounds less. Thank you so much. You're spoiling me. It's so expensive to buy phones.
30:37 - 30:47
Anyway, that's what we're doing. On we go. We go to the shop. We do a 120 euro high performance healthy shop.
30:48 - 30:55
Wow, I guess that's chia seeds. Yeah. Some toppers for sludge. Certainly. Tender stem broccoli.
30:55 - 31:00
Not even the normal broccoli because that's not high performance enough for a guy like me now.
31:01 - 31:06
Just a cursory look. I do buy some beer, which gets from it a little bit.
31:07 - 31:13
I'm trying to think what are the high cost items in that? Because a 120 euro shop is a pretty big one.
31:13 - 31:21
I bought these balloons. I'm not sure balloons are high performance. I don't know how many episodes of Diary of a CEO does he say.
31:21 - 31:30
And actually, when I really found that I turned myself from just a multimillionaire into a billionaire was when I invested in balloons.
31:32 - 31:39
These are bunch of balloons. Oh, okay. And you attach them onto the end of your garden hose.
31:40 - 31:48
Oh, yeah. And there are 50 balloons all with little rubber banded tops on them. And it fills them all at the same time.
31:48 - 31:54
So you can have a water bomb fight. Hang on. You can fill 50 balloons at one time.
31:54 - 32:00
This is like we're doing an infomercial. Yes, that's right. I've never known so many balloons.
32:02 - 32:09
But clearly demand is low at this time of year for water fight materials. Yeah.
32:09 - 32:16
So this was in the sale section of the middle aisle for two euros. So...
32:16 - 32:20
Really, do you think the CEO of Bunch of Balloons is going, I can't believe it.
32:20 - 32:26
They're already in the bargain bucket. Two euros for our new blow up 50 balloons at the same time.
32:26 - 32:35
We thought this was going to change our lives forever. Max, the CEO of Bunch of Balloons has paid me 50k to do this.
32:35 - 32:40
I said I'd throw you a couple of hundred just for playing along with it.
32:40 - 32:50
This podcast is brought to you by Bunch of Balloons. Do you ever find you're wasting your time blowing up one balloon at a time?
32:50 - 33:02
Why not blow up 50 in one go? The rest is politics. I don't think this is going well, this podcast.
33:07 - 33:21
So, great. We come home. We find an email from my agent that says, I've agreed to the Edinburgh Fringe this year with a new show.
33:21 - 33:26
Okay, that's exciting. You need a title for the show and you need a photograph.
33:26 - 33:35
Title's fine. We'll think of something. But what's trickier is you need a photograph. Brackets, David, not just one of your camera phone photos.
33:36 - 33:41
Oh, right. A proper one. The thing is, I haven't had proper ones really for so long.
33:42 - 33:55
The photo that the Guardian use went from my columns. So handsome. It's from 2010. And like people think it's I've demanded it, right?
33:55 - 34:04
So every time I post out about a column, people are like, Max, you've got to get, I've tried to get it changed, but the photo I send them is not the right four by three, whatever.
34:04 - 34:09
I don't know. Do you have your arms folded in it? If you got a look in your face, that's like classic columnist.
34:10 - 34:19
I didn't come down with the bloody last shower. No, I'm wearing a blue shirt, dark blue shirt, tucked in with some jeans and my hands are in my pockets.
34:19 - 34:24
Oh, handsome pockets. Yeah, yeah. Pretty cool. This guy's taking a sideways look at the game.
34:24 - 34:32
Definitely. Hands in pockets is sideways. Football. You love it. You hate it. That's the start of the article.
34:33 - 34:37
You say that. The column I wrote this morning is literally that. Max, stop. David.
34:37 - 34:51
So yes, I find an old or a photo from not that long ago. Occasionally, a photographer will come and take photos backstage and whatnot at a gig.
34:51 - 34:57
And it so happens that there was a gig in Australia the last time I was there.
34:57 - 35:04
And a guy took a pretty cool photo of me with an arrow that says stage this way.
35:04 - 35:10
Oh, that's cool. And I'm just picking the keyboard up. It's a little bit swooshy as in I'm moving in it.
35:10 - 35:15
But I think that might lend. Is it like Star Wars hyperspace? Is it that kind of whoosh?
35:15 - 35:27
Yeah. There's just a lot of green lines. Great. So I now try and find out who the photographer was.
35:27 - 35:38
I get his name. I send him a message on Instagram Messenger. And he is going to get back to me after the weekend because he's on holidays at the moment.
35:38 - 35:47
So yes. Have you come up with a name of the tour? No, but I think it might be an idea to reverse engineer a name that'll look good on this poster.
35:48 - 35:52
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This way to the stage. Not that.
35:52 - 35:55
You know what I mean? Yes. Have you ever used dead on discovery as one?
35:55 - 36:06
Because that's good. This is not the right picture for Department of Defense. So now it's time for lunch.
36:06 - 36:21
It is. And I use some of my new healthy ingredients. I love a kind of, I guess, what do you call the bread that you run under the tap and put into your Delonghi toaster?
36:22 - 36:30
Wet bread. And as it heats up, it moves apart. It forms into a kind of, kind of an ass.
36:31 - 36:37
Oh my goodness. See who's at, someone's at the door. This has never happened before in two years of this podcast.
36:38 - 36:50
What if it's a murder? Oh no. Oh, very London this. Who is it? Could it be one of Max's London friends?
36:50 - 37:01
Maybe a footballer. It would be interesting if we heard him and his interaction with the person delivering the parcel ever was just the true Max.
37:01 - 37:04
And it's him being like, what do you fucking want? You fucking piece of shit.
37:10 - 37:17
Oh great. Max is just having a chat with someone. He's left me here. Do I just continue the day on my own?
37:17 - 37:28
It is interesting. It is interesting. Without him and me just staring at an empty chair, you realize what a profoundly pithy and stupid podcast this is.
37:28 - 37:35
It's like doing therapy without a therapist there. It's just me trying to remember what I did yesterday.
37:43 - 37:50
What if he comes back in and he's got a knife in his hand and he's covered in blood?
37:54 - 38:00
And it was a delivery for flat one. Oh wow. Yeah, but here's the thing, right?
38:01 - 38:09
I had never met flat one because I don't live here. Yeah. But we own the leasehold of the six flats and her bike is parked in the hallway.
38:10 - 38:20
I used to park my bike in the hallway. But flat four said, could you please put a note on that bike saying it will be removed by the management committee if they don't put it in their flat.
38:20 - 38:25
And I was like, I can't do that. I'm not the Gestapo. And he said, we have to do that for insurance.
38:25 - 38:29
You know, someone comes around and the bike's there. We'll get fined or something. Yeah.
38:30 - 38:32
So I just had to say to her, I'm really sorry. Can you move that bike?
38:33 - 38:38
I'm not the police. So I've just had that. And I actually got a bit nervous while I was saying it because I don't want to be that guy.
38:39 - 38:43
And she said, we have to sell the bike. We have no space. And then she burst into tears.
38:43 - 38:51
And then I, that didn't happen. But hang on. Why were you the one that was made be the bringer of the bad news?
38:51 - 38:57
I didn't explain this well. There are two front doors and there's three flats on this side and there's three flats on the other side of the block.
38:57 - 39:04
So I'm on, they're not on this side of the block. It wasn't as exciting as some of the things I was imagining that you were doing.
39:05 - 39:09
You will hear them if you ever listen back to this episode. Okay, fine. I look forward to it.
39:09 - 39:13
Where are we? I've got a hot pocket. We were trying to think of the name of the bread.
39:13 - 39:18
It's a pita bread. It's a pita bread. Yes. How did you not know the name of the pita?
39:19 - 39:24
Because I've been calling them hot pockets for a long time to annoy the Helen Copter.
39:24 - 39:30
Because I think she once said, call it a pita bread. And so it's been exclusively hot pockets since then.
39:30 - 39:38
I think you can say both. I poached two eggs. I put a load of rocket peppers.
39:39 - 39:46
And it was something else delicious. Some other veg into the hot pocket. This is healthy.
39:46 - 39:51
Hang on. Is there a kind of, there must be some sort of sauce. No, because the egg will do that job.
39:51 - 39:58
Eggs, not sauce. Eggs, absolutely fine. I consider putting peanut butter on it, but that will make the thing too rich.
39:58 - 40:07
No, peanut butter and egg is actually delicious, but I feel sated by it. Now, I'm not in the mood to do a cycle.
40:07 - 40:12
And you know what that means? Old me wouldn't have gone for a cycle. Yeah.
40:12 - 40:17
New me. New me. Goes for it. Yeah. I've got a new bike in the last few weeks.
40:18 - 40:27
You needed that. Yeah. Thank goodness. And yeah, we go to find the deer in the Phoenix Park.
40:27 - 40:33
You could like bike a nation. You know, they say just your five pounds will feed whoever for 25 years.
40:34 - 40:43
David, you gave your bikes to a small country. I do wonder. Yeah. If I were to build up all the frames I have, which are in addition to the bikes.
40:43 - 40:47
Oh, hang on. How many frames have we got? A lot of frames. Okay. Right.
40:47 - 40:52
I do wonder if I could give a bike to all of our listeners in Sri Lanka.
40:54 - 41:03
And what a surprise that would be. If you are a listener to what's your day in Sri Lanka, I would like to claim your free bike.
41:03 - 41:16
Please get in touch. Yeah. I am not in the mood for the cycle. And then I do have quite a mystical moment on the cycle, though, which is the deer.
41:17 - 41:26
I think the deer and the stags, the lady deers, doe, the does and the stags maybe separate at this time of year.
41:27 - 41:35
And I'm riding up by the side of a hill. Because the great thing about this bike is it's a cyclocross bike, so you can ride it over grass.
41:35 - 41:43
And I hear the sound of Enya and look over and there's just 30 stags with their majestic antlers.
41:44 - 41:48
And is it kind of misty? Is it misty? In my memory of it, it is.
41:48 - 41:53
Okay. In reality, it was just a bit damp and miserable. Okay, fine. I'm happy.
41:53 - 42:01
On the way back, I stopped for a filter coffee. I'm not even drinking flatties at the moment, Max.
42:01 - 42:06
What's wrong with you? Yeah, I do ruin it by having a can of Guinness later in the evening.
42:06 - 42:12
Okay, fine. And then because we're low on coffee, I'm in a hipster coffee shop.
42:12 - 42:21
Yeah. And I buy a coffee called Justine Bieber. Like it's a real hipster blend.
42:21 - 42:28
Right, okay. And I make the mistake of not checking the price of it. What's the size of the coffee bean?
42:29 - 42:39
It's bigger than a Capri Sun. It's a double Capri Sun. 500 grams of beans. Yeah, and it's beans and I get them to grind them down.
42:39 - 42:48
And then you're spending 27 euros. Oh no, 17 euros. Is that? I think for half a kilo.
42:48 - 42:55
You've been in Australia for too long. Maybe I have, yeah. That's $30. Maybe I'm like the Prime Minister.
42:55 - 43:00
How much is a pint of milk? One pound 18. You don't deserve to represent the nation.
43:00 - 43:12
You're 18. Pee out. Yeah, but you blow it in a different way. When you stand for reform as a man of the people, and Emily Maitlis is like, how much do you think coffee costs?
43:12 - 43:20
And you'd be like, well, it's got to be 36 pounds for anything drinkable. He's not a man of the people at all.
43:21 - 43:32
I've been rumbled. I have dirtied my jacket. I was riding in a Karen style, one of those jackets with the feathers inside.
43:33 - 43:38
Okay, like a gilet, a gilet. But like the full jacket version. The gilet with arms.
43:38 - 43:48
It's cool. That's what they call coats. It's a Karen jacket. I have put a stripe up the back of it from the riding.
43:48 - 43:55
Yeah, nice. So I decided to wash it. All right. But there's a real question here about how to wash these things.
43:55 - 44:02
I look up the video. The video says, don't put it in the machine. Hand wash it.
44:02 - 44:07
Because the whole thing is, you don't want to. You don't want to drown Karen.
44:07 - 44:13
You don't want the feathers to pop out. So you don't want to put too much pressure on it.
44:14 - 44:20
However, it looks very complicated having to hand wash one of these jackets. And also I've done it in the past.
44:20 - 44:27
I don't think it does anything. So I find the silk setting on my washing machine.
44:27 - 44:32
And I put the spit. Max, why are you laughing at that? Yours? Just like the silk setting.
44:32 - 44:37
How often is the silk setting used? Do you think about people? Is this, what's this one?
44:37 - 44:41
Just silk. It's just all my silk. I do that once a day. All my silks.
44:42 - 44:47
It's only jockeys. Surely only jockeys are using the silk setting. Oh, just on jockeys.
44:47 - 44:52
I asked on the radio yesterday, and that's not my yesterday, the stupidest question I think I may have ever asked.
44:52 - 45:00
So there's a horse called Constitution Hill that was a jumper. And it was winning the champion hurdle at Cheltenham a lot or something like that.
45:00 - 45:05
Anyway, he's old. He can't jump anymore or something. And we were talking to our racing correspondent, Rupert Bell.
45:05 - 45:09
We call him Rupert the Bell Bell, about his move to becoming a flat horse.
45:09 - 45:17
Can you do that with horses? Well, I said, so the question I said, this might be a stupid question, Rupert, but like, can any horse just go from that to that?
45:18 - 45:27
And I was like, oh, or is it like horses for courses? It's horses for courses, isn't it?
45:28 - 45:37
If only there was a saying for this question I'd asked. So they go jump, flat, and then jousting is where a lot of them end up.
45:37 - 45:48
Jump, flat, jousting, donkey rides. Yeah, it's sad when you're on the beach and you and your family will get up on the donkey and they're like, this is red rum.
45:48 - 45:53
Yeah, exactly. I used to be something, you know, it's where Shergar is. Is Shergar missing?
45:53 - 45:58
Or was that, who was that man who went missing? I watched a whole miniseries about him.
45:58 - 46:04
Lord Lucan. Lord Lucan and Shergar. Never see him in the same room. I washed the jacket is what I'm saying.
46:04 - 46:18
Okay, well done. In the machine on silks. I silk wash the jacket. Problem is when I take it out, all of the feathers or whatever the substance inside, this is just a cheap one of these jackets, have all gone to the bottom.
46:18 - 46:27
So I also know you're not supposed to wring it or anything like that. So I hang it in the shower so it can drip.
46:27 - 46:31
Initially, I try putting it outside, but then it starts raining. Hang it in the shower.
46:31 - 46:38
And then it's the all time quickest ever because it's a sort of a yellowy gold colored jacket.
46:39 - 46:44
I'd say three minutes later, I go to do a wee, see it hanging in the shower.
46:44 - 46:50
I go, ah! Like some part of me thinks there is a gold man in the shower.
46:50 - 46:58
That's normally what happens. That's where the gold man likes to be. Notoriously hygienic, the gold man.
46:58 - 47:05
I then decide to make dinner. I do a little bit more work. An afternoon you've had, washing a coat.
47:05 - 47:13
Listen to you. Oh, no. This is the worst. This is when you... And this might have been to six different cafes.
47:14 - 47:19
And I've managed to work for a minute and a half in each one. I'm doing the pod script in a sand pit.
47:19 - 47:26
Yeah. Um, okay. You're writing the pod script on the side of a Brio train.
47:26 - 47:35
Yeah. I make an excellent dinner. You'd have to say that the helencopter isn't initially impressed by the idea of.
47:35 - 47:44
It's sweet potato that we bake with some herby stuff on it to liven it up and a red onion.
47:44 - 47:51
I then throw sort of chunky. They're not quite lardons, but they're big chunky lardons through that as well.
47:52 - 48:03
Move the lardons to the side. Mash the oniony sweet potato lardons back on. And then finish 15 minutes of tender stem broccoli on the top of it.
48:03 - 48:12
It's quite a high performance dinner you would have. Yeah. Sort of some irony in you accusing the helencopter of making you sludge at the start of the day.
48:12 - 48:17
Yeah. And then you turning a meal into sludge that didn't have to be sludge at the end of the day.
48:20 - 48:28
Yeah, fair enough. And then I utterly undermine the whole healthiness of it by having a can of Guinness to keep my iron up.
48:29 - 48:34
Oh, yeah. What I've learned from Fern Brady, drink as much Guinness as possible. Sure.
48:34 - 48:41
We then open a bottle of wine just to have one glass. And then I have all of that as well.
48:41 - 48:44
Not all of it. Okay, good stuff. Okay. Half a bottle of wine. Yeah.
48:45 - 48:55
What follows then? Helencopter is meant to be working on something at home, but we don't really feel like it because it's quite late now.
48:55 - 49:06
It's actually about nine o'clock by the time that we eat this. Wow. We start watching a bleak Epstein documentary that's quite well made.
49:06 - 49:14
And we end up watching three episodes of that. Helencopter falls asleep towards the end of it.
49:14 - 49:19
And then we go to bed. That's what I did yesterday. Thank you. My pleasure.
49:19 - 49:30
This is from Richard in Manchester. So, dear David, Max, producer Mars Bar. I'm sure I won't be the only correspondent who does not believe that the Rebel Cheese Quiz has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
49:59 - 50:03
Oh, God. A false flag operation designed to get people like me to write in and complain.
50:04 - 50:13
That's breathing new life into a quiz that desperately needed more audience participation. To that end, here's my guest for the unfinished Rebel Cheese Quiz.
50:13 - 50:20
It's finished. Can we do this? Can we exhume an old quiz? What were the cheeses?
50:20 - 50:25
Brie and Roquefort. Brie and Blue. Brie and Blue. He's guessed Brie and Cashel Blue.
50:25 - 50:30
It was Cashel Blue. It was the actual Blue. Right. So, he's officially finished the Rebel Cheese quiz.
50:30 - 50:34
Whatever prize we get to the winner last week, you were too vague. You were too vague.
50:35 - 50:39
We now have the potential of people. Why not just bring back all the quins of the past?
50:39 - 50:43
Maybe it wasn't Rufus Howe. Maybe it was just someone who looked like Rufus Howe.
50:45 - 50:49
While I'm here, I might as well have a guess at Curdle. Let's play Curdle.
50:50 - 51:32
Five. Four. Three. Two. One. I've got cheese. This is cheese!
51:33 - 51:37
Ok, are we allowing Richard to have a guess for both?
51:37 - 51:42
He seems to have done it. Yes, I allow it. Here we go. Bree. Bing, bing, bing.
51:42 - 51:59
Caerphilly. Bing. Whoa. Manchego. Cashel Blue. What position is that? Fourth. Bing, bing, bing. Whoa.
51:59 - 52:11
Oh. Burrata. Okay, well done, Richard. That's really good. That's the most success that anyone has ever had in a single email to this podcast.
52:11 - 52:24
Could you give him a bing? Bing. He's so good at that. Also remember, that is the name of the active ingredient in the worm-killing chocolate.
52:25 - 52:31
He says, love the pod. I disagree with your opinion. It is a suitable educational tool for teaching young children about the real world.
52:32 - 52:37
No problem with the swearing, but the multiple baths are harder to explain. Yeah. You know, that's fair.
52:37 - 52:43
The Bank of Ceylon are, a lot of questions regarding it. So what is it now?
52:43 - 52:49
He's made it a two and a half cheese board. It's a... Because Brie and Cashel Blue are correct.
52:49 - 52:54
The Caerphilly is correct, but in the wrong... Is right cheese wrong place? Yes. So there we are.
52:54 - 52:59
Wow, we're motoring through this. What if we run out of quizzes? I'm terrified. Oh God.

I like... We've got some really good of the weekend ones coming up. Yeah, they're good.
53:35 - 53:41
Yeah, we do. This series has been... All of the series have been high quality, but boy, has this been good.
53:42 - 53:47
Yeah. We're really... We're hitting our straps now, aren't we? Is that another horse racing term?
53:47 - 53:52
I don't know. Okay. Yeah. Hey, thanks, David. I'm in it for life. In it for life. Bye.
