Podcasts, there are millions of them. Some might say, too many. I have one already. I don't have any because there are enough. Politics, business, sport, you name it, there's a podcast about it and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day. But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Too afraid of being censored by the man? Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We try and say it at the same time.
0:36 - 0:51
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
0:51 - 0:57
about it. I'm Max Rushden. And I'm David O'Doherty. Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
1:00 - 1:04
Hello and welcome to Midweek Mayhem from the people that bring you What Did You Do Yesterday?
1:04 - 1:08
My name is Max Rushden, alongside me, David O'Doherty. And David, I have some breaking news.
1:08 - 1:16
Oh, wow. As I left the kitchen to walk to the shed, Jamie said, I think we should have a precautionary round of worming chocolate.
1:19 - 1:27
There's an itchy bottom in the family. I'm not disclosing whose it is, but we're on course for a precautionary round of worming chocolate tomorrow.
1:27 - 1:48
So it's exciting times. Well, it's funny you mentioned that, Max, because another of our non-sponsor products that we talk about a lot has just come good at this end and i'm not talking about my arse there okay so the good toaster the dual it has
1:48 - 2:06
gone into storage and i don't know what brand we're dealing with here oh no is it is it low quality well i went to make the peanut butter this morning and just stood there like an absolute dork for an extra over 40 seconds certainly. You know what I mean?
2:06 - 2:10
And had it started toasting or it's just, it takes its pretty little time to toast.
2:10 - 2:14
We got a slow toaster on our hands. And I'm trying to live a high performance life here.
2:14 - 2:20
Well, of course, of course. When you watch one of those reels, they say number one, get up at 5am.
2:20 - 2:33
Number two, get yourself a Dualit. It'll save you 40 seconds every morning. And if you cause that of your whole life, that'll be 16 years You have saved from watching Toast where you could have been inventing a drone.
2:36 - 2:46
Yeah, I felt like an absolute fool standing there staring at the stupid toaster. Get yourself a Dualit and tell them to sponsor the podcast.
2:46 - 2:51
We really have got it the wrong way around so many times. We really are messing it up.
2:51 - 3:02
We need to keep these things close to ourselves. Get a Dualit, make quick toast in it, pop a bit of flora on there because it'll really keep your cholesterol down and then for a little
3:02 - 3:17
treat a sort of nutella type treat that also treats any parasitic worms maybe within your body melt some worming chocolate here's a lovely message from chris and jess dear generic man three doddles
3:17 - 3:28
Mars Bar and the hero of teddington long-time listener first-time writer my wife jess and i got married last Friday. And what did you do yesterday? Got a mention in her wedding vows. Yes. Leading up
3:28 - 3:37
to the date, I was lamenting the fact that I would miss the live show in Melbourne as my twin sister was visiting Sydney from New York for the wedding. And it was too hard to organize the trip to Melbourne
3:37 - 3:46
twice a week while listening to the pod. I would mention how sad I was to be missing the live show, but of course not lamenting getting married. Come the wedding day, Jess surprised me with a line
3:46 - 3:59
in her vows that she'd in fact booked your show for us as a surprise and promised to come with me so here we are see you in 40 minutes everything is showbiz i we are in it for life chris and jess
3:59 - 4:12
isn't that beautiful yeah so we also invented the concept of being in a thing for life we invented lifelong commitment we did yeah i didn't know that wow people used to just be in it for a while
4:12 - 4:23
in it for maybe a year or two we'll see in it until it goes stale and you're sat opposite each other in a restaurant with nothing to say staring at each other while other people stare at you
4:23 - 4:41
but even that doesn't prompt you into a conversation because you just can't be fucked anymore but now people are actually in it for life so congratulations chris and jess in it till the video thing completely takes over all of podcasting leaving us like the last silent
4:41 - 4:54
movie actors as the only people who exist in the aural form absolutely now we've had some reaction to the Waleed Aly episode what was nice there's lots of people who you know are uk-based audience
4:54 - 5:03
and irish audience who didn't know waleed like an episode where they don't know who the person is yeah that's good that the format works if you don't know but quite a lot of people referenced
5:03 - 5:13
to the way he consumed liverpool fulham marco says the odyssey of trying to watch the game should be a film it's perfect nothing needs adding gareth said this episode was a belter his football
5:13 - 5:24
watching habits should be studied by science what a lunatic now my friend nick stole who worked with me on the champions league until they got rid of me and now he works for the a league he said
5:24 - 5:33
so he loves football and he knows football this guy he said with all the respect in the world uh-oh Waleed Aly is a nutter i cannot conceive of watching a match like this not even the world
5:33 - 5:45
cup final would i commit this much to watching in full it was rid i was worried it was too much for i like to keep football and this apart which is interesting because obviously if someone else is
5:45 - 5:55
embarking on any other hobby i really lean in because i'm like oh you're cage fighting today okay this is cool but football is just a hobby but for some reason i i want to keep them set i'm
5:55 - 6:00
worried when there's too much football but it was a ludicrous yeah it was a ludicrous pursuit
6:00 - 6:16
Yeah, I did like how he was going from it, though, to, you know, 10 hours after speaking to us was interviewing the minister for policing or something to try and attract new recruits from Ireland and Britain over.
6:16 - 6:29
And I do wonder if any of our listeners will have heard him, Waleed, talk about Australia, who are police officers and gone, you know what, I think I'll go over there.
6:29 - 6:38
This is extraordinary because Ben sent a message saying, I couldn't have imagined the pod would explain why I had suddenly started getting loads of adverts telling me to join the police in Australia.
6:42 - 6:47
But with this episode, I now truly believe that what did you just say is indeed the center of the known universe.
6:47 - 6:54
Imagine if the whole, in years to come, the entire Australian police force would be people who listened to the Wally Dally episode.
6:54 - 7:04
Yeah. And I'm like, that's what I got to do. Imagine if they worked in border security where people try and smuggle drugs in by putting them up their arses.
7:05 - 7:10
There would be a hell of a lot of quoting of certain things from the podcast regarding Moomans.
7:11 - 7:19
You're right. They have stopped Phil. Border security are concerned about Phil, who seems to have come into the country with 18 Moomans up his arse.
7:20 - 7:25
And Phil says, that's just how I travel. The Lloyd Langford episode got some reaction to Lloyd as well.
7:25 - 7:39
fair saga says um the next time i want to praise someone i'm going to call them an absolute muesli queen someone did post the news article on the reddit page of the muesli queen who'd what
7:39 - 7:51
happened to them they had their life saved or something yeah she had choked on a chicken bone or something at a dinner party left the room which and to be serious for a moment to your
7:51 - 8:06
if you're choking don't leave the room you have to choke in front of everyone luckily someone had seen this woman who turns out to be the muesli queen of australia and had heimliched her or
8:06 - 8:23
whatever you do turned her upside down and then she had thanked them for it but they had inadvertently walked into an ad for muesli she thanked them but in like a real surround like just like giant People dressed as oats, you know, that kind of thing.
8:24 - 8:31
Betty Alpen, I believe. That's her name. Do you remember Country Store? Do I remember Country Store?
8:31 - 8:39
No. It was the bleakest of all. Have I imagined this, listeners, of all the breakfast cereals?
8:39 - 8:47
This was the ad. Bring me apples, bring me honey, bring me hazelnuts, bring me wheat.
8:47 - 9:02
so all of the other brands it was a kellogg's one all the other ones had like i'm brian and i'm the nuttiest honey nut loop of all sure tony the tiger you know yeah there was this one where the photograph
9:02 - 9:18
on the front was of a bleak dusty kitchen and it just didn't fit with the rest of the team but have i imagined that was country store a thing it was kellogg's country store it was theoretically good for you with dried Alpen.
9:18 - 9:21
I think they were trying to get in on the Alpen market. Right, I see.
9:21 - 9:25
The worst were grape nuts, which is basically like gravel. I don't know if anyone's eating grape nuts.
9:25 - 9:31
It was like, it made all bran feel like ricicles. That's all I'm saying. Michael Owen's been in touch.
9:32 - 9:36
Not that Michael Owen, but Michael Owen, who plays with me for the Bohemians, more of them later.
9:36 - 9:43
He says, I thoroughly enjoyed the Lloyd Langford episode. As someone raising a four-year-old in Melbourne's inner north, it was very relatable.
9:43 - 9:47
So much so that I told my wife Anna as she should listen to the episode.
9:47 - 9:51
She did in front of me at normal speed. Listening twice was not an issue.
9:51 - 9:57
However, I consume all my Max Rushden and his Irishman of choice content at a disciplined 1.3 speed.
9:58 - 10:07
At standard speed, it sounded like David had suffered a stroke. So simple request, ask David to speak 30% faster or kindly stop making episodes my wife also wants to listen to.
10:08 - 10:20
We will work on this, Michael. Your voice remains unchanged at 1.3 speed. You have that BBC Cambridgeshire training they give you where it just sounds the exact same no matter how fast you play it yeah if you've been
10:20 - 10:33
trained at the bbc whatever speed people are listening to this it comes out as rp that's what it is good afternoon from cambridge a lovely day do you know what you sound like you sound like
10:33 - 10:52
bane trying to be posh that's what you sound like huge news in cambridge today a swan went quite close to a rower more as we have it walkero91 says sure i'm not the only one to notice the
10:52 - 11:01
connection between melbourne having an infamous eccentric it carries a big carrot and max's healthy snack of choice being a single raw carrot we don't know how carrot man is doing i must
11:01 - 11:14
investigate so our best wishes to carrot man now this is exciting david max's improv adventure i got DM from someone called Amy Louise Ruffle, who's a big shot in Melbourne, 130,000 followers. And
11:14 - 11:23
she says, hi, Max. Been loving your What Did You Do Yesterday part. And I hope the live show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival went amazingly. This might not be your vibe, but I produce a weekly
11:23 - 11:34
improv show called Something Good at Comedy Republic. And we're booking guests for the next few months and wondering if you'd be interested in showing up for a show. No improv experience It's required.
11:34 - 11:42
It's 6.30 p.m. Wednesdays. We have a small fee, smiley face. Previous guests include Adam Hills, Phil Wang, Lloyd Langford, but no stress if your schedule is packed.
11:43 - 11:52
Thanks, Amy. Now, I sent this to you in Mars Bar, and the two of you, the two of you were like, you know, we'll get a private jet to watch you absolutely screw this up.
11:53 - 12:00
So, are you tempted? Do you know what? I'll tell you why I'm tempted, because of how funny it would be to talk about on this podcast.
12:00 - 12:12
Because I, as we've established, the only improv i've ever done is in the cariad lloyd episode where i introduced lord percy of dingbat and i maintain it was a good bit of improv but yeah you know the experienced improvers
12:12 - 12:27
on the pod did not think so so i think it's good to be out of your comfort zone sometimes and if it's good maybe i've got a future in it and if it's bad then it's funny you're very good
12:27 - 12:40
of just jumping into things which is the secret that's why i'm bad at improv because i sort of need a context i need to spend a you know in improv like the first idea is always the right
12:40 - 12:53
idea so you just absolutely go for it you know like when you're interviewing a boxer and you have no idea who they are or anything that happens in the sport with the greatest respect you're doing
12:53 - 13:06
sort of improv there so yeah but it's not like somebody's handed nasim hamed a toilet seat and me a pugil stick and then we have to pretend it's the middle ages like that is a suddenly it's like
13:06 - 13:18
a different that is a different i mean although let's face it i would enjoy that anyway but i don't know i'm interested very kind of amy to invite me i mean it must be thin pickings if they're going for
13:18 - 13:31
you know people with literally no damage i am going to inflict on you this weekend is similar to how this pugil stick travels through this toilet seat i was trying to do boxer style trash talk
13:31 - 13:39
it was good i will hit you with this spatula so hard your arse will come out through your feet
13:42 - 14:01
it's a good sketch isn't it boxes suddenly thrust into whose line is it anyway if it was suddenly ryan styles mike mcshane and then barry mcguigan yeah with richard ranch on the piano and tim witherspoon and they're like oh this is gonna be tough for witherspoon
14:01 - 14:10
and he he's doing that one where he has to lie down and paul martin has to stand up and ryan styles has to sit down and they keep changing lloyd hunigan's really struggling with this
14:10 - 14:22
anyway so we should pitch that to channel four boxes whose line is anyway boxes only all of your boxer references there we're so old boxing's going through a real boom at the moment oh yeah
14:22 - 14:32
but like everyone at talks about is so obsessed with boxing i'm just like ah the only good person to talk to is a guy called dave allen who is absolutely hilarious who is a heavyweight boxer
14:32 - 14:41
and we got him on the other week to say you know you know what do you think of this fight and he was like oh and he's it was a promoted section for his own he was like i'm not that ass and then
14:41 - 14:47
And he just said he was desperate to become the new host of Tenable, which is a daytime quiz hosted by Warwick Davis.
14:47 - 14:50
And we spent a long time. I was like, well, I'm in for this chat.
14:51 - 14:57
So, yeah, no, no, it's a fair point. Did he win? Do you know if he won his forthcoming fight then?
14:57 - 15:05
He wasn't fighting. He was looking ahead to two people who, you know, like all boxers come out of retirement when they're 50, you know, for a big payday.
15:05 - 15:08
And he was just like, I'm not looking forward to this fight because these two are both old.
15:08 - 15:14
Wow. And I was like, oh, I really love this honesty. because, you know, a lot of boxing is hyping the shit out of bullshit.
15:15 - 15:20
Sure, yeah. Vincent and Kerry says, Longtime listener to the pod, What Did You Do Yesterday?
15:21 - 15:24
Midweek Mayhem is the highlight of my week, but concerned about the ending of all the quizzes.
15:25 - 15:32
So here is my new quiz idea. Since there's a discussion on head sizes, we need to guess accurately both David and Max's head in centimeters.
15:32 - 15:39
Only way to win is to get both right. Everything you show is BOC. I mean, I understand, like, the fun of the quiz.
15:39 - 15:43
It is the Teddington quiz, but with numbers there. And so I can't criticize it.
15:44 - 15:51
But like the thing about the guesses in the Teddington quiz was that there was sort of like, oh, a bit of a sort of frisson of naming a random comedian.
15:51 - 15:59
Whereas just saying two numbers, even I, I'm talking myself out of it, but actually secretly starting to go, this is a really great idea.
15:59 - 16:06
So I'm in. The Teddington quiz was the worst thing I've ever been involved in at this.
16:06 - 16:10
Do you want some news, David? Just book Teddington. Oh, so you're going back there.
16:10 - 16:18
Oh, we're going back. We're going back in the summer. A, because it's a good way of getting over jet lag when we arrive in London at the end of July.
16:18 - 16:24
But B, imagine if I see some famous people there again. Just imagine, I'll only be out all day.
16:24 - 16:29
I'll be like, Jamie, can't help with the kids. I've got to walk around Teddington with some binoculars.
16:29 - 16:38
I'm imagining many of my comedy friends just going and hanging out in Teddington in the hope that you see them and mention it on the podcast.
16:39 - 16:48
you know, we talk about it for almost half a year. But I suppose it didn't really help Rufus Hound's tour because by the time we guessed it, he'd probably finished.
16:48 - 16:58
It's true, yeah. Rena writes, regarding David's big head. Dear Max, David and Mars Bar, I am writing to you to defend David on the matter of his gigantic head.
16:59 - 17:04
Thank you, Rena. My wife's friend was living in Melbourne 10 years ago where they had their first child.
17:04 - 17:11
The baby was referred to the Macrocafali Clinic, a clinic which specializes in large heads.
17:12 - 17:19
Wow. When they visited the clinic, the nurse came out to meet them. On realizing they were both Irish, she turned them away saying, you don't need to be seen anymore.
17:19 - 17:27
She continued to tell them because they were both Irish, their baby's head, albeit enormous in terms of head sizes, is completely normal size for an Irish person.
17:28 - 17:32
I hope this brings the matter of David's enormous head to a satisfactory conclusion. Best wishes.
17:33 - 17:37
Cillian and Rina, the wife. There we go. So thank you to Cillian and Rina.
17:37 - 17:50
it's very kind of you yeah or my other theory is that your head is in fact getting smaller and that you are the one with the affliction you have a shrink head so it's making mine
17:50 - 18:01
look bigger in comparison when we look at it in these two little windows or when we both appear in a video together is that a concern of yours max honestly i don't think it is
18:02 - 18:15
have you been heading a lot of footballs recently oh i won every compact thing i won everything in the air i did nothing on the ground but oh i felt alive but we'll get to my yesterday because it does
18:15 - 18:25
feature a little bit owen sheridan writes listening to your last midweek mayhem the obvious new quiz is what is that sound coming from max's neighbor's house and it is an open fridge maybe max would do
18:25 - 18:33
the neighborly thing and check on them to make sure they're still with us this would go to the Reddit page, Beandog90 saying, no comment from DoD or Mars Bar.
18:34 - 18:38
Didn't they record this one alongside the last one? Let's hope Max has checked. She's still alive.
18:38 - 18:42
By the next midweek mayhem, we'll have more than a beeping to be complaining about.
18:45 - 18:50
Moneypen8242 says, too busy thinking about how he can make a quiz out of this to consider his fellow man.
18:50 - 18:56
Now, I've seen my neighbor. She is fine. And the fridge is still fucking beeping.
18:56 - 19:06
And she has told me it's like, it's a fancy fridge and it's the ice tray that wants to make ice but can't make ice and so it's beeping but it has now been beeping for i'm gonna say three weeks
19:06 - 19:21
is she just living with the beeping lord only knows this is not a generalization about older people but my parents can live with beeping in a way that i turn off the beeps on dishwashers
19:21 - 19:34
washing machines etc it's never that hard you can always find a youtube video how to you hold down two buttons at the same time but they have a mysterious dishwasher beep that would annoy the
19:34 - 19:49
heck out of me but somehow yeah they just plow through yeah the oldies chloe sharp writes just listening to you talk about the possibility of slipping while wearing a kilt as an excuse for having a foreign body in your posterior this was immediately followed by the podcast cutting
19:49 - 20:00
to a visit scotland ad talking about the warmth of the locals other evidence of the center of the universe theory thank you chloe i seem to have got the
20:00 - 20:17
stone of scone stuck up my rear end oh no thank you george says hi both i'm right to ask if this podcast is sponsored by tony's chocolate lonelies according to everything that's showbiz.com this brand of chocolate was mentioned for the 20th time in the last episode
20:17 - 20:28
I imagine only Mars Bar has been mentioned more. The reason I ask is because I felt the urge to buy some of this chocolate from my local charity shop and found it to be entirely average and not matching Max's constant raving.
20:28 - 20:32
Anyway, I love the podcast, George. To which my point was, I'm all for buying secondhand.
20:33 - 20:38
You know, I really am. Like, the shorts I'm in are secondhand. I think this t-shirt is, you know.
20:38 - 20:44
Hot wheels, garages. Maybe I've lost touch with the common man, but I am buying my chocolate new.
20:45 - 20:55
Aren't you? I think that's what I'm doing. I got all my chocolate from the grassy verge, the grassy knoll, the vegetarians, the vegetable strip, whatever.
20:56 - 21:04
It's the vegetation strip. The nature strip. The grassy knoll. Yeah. Right. Let's do our quizzes, everybody.
21:04 - 21:12
It's time to play They're Just Normal Countries. I Redux. I am the one and only.
21:14 - 21:25
What country could I be? I am the one and only. Where in the world could our listeners be?
21:29 - 21:33
Are we right to do it like this? Are we right to group the two together?
21:34 - 21:39
I think the standards that people set for this podcast are low is the most what I think.
21:39 - 21:45
So I think it's okay. Yeah. Previous guesses. Northern Marianas Islands. Max. David can't remember.
21:45 - 21:54
Malawi, Suriname, South Sudan. Evening DoD, Generic Man 3 and producer Mars Bar writes Tom. I, like so many others, are still coming to terms with the loss of the Teddington quiz.
21:54 - 21:57
The end of their just normal country so soon afterwards was almost too much to bear.
21:58 - 22:07
I am therefore clinging to its successor like a drowning man to a balsa wood raft and would like to guess that Sao Tome and Principe is now a normal country.
22:07 - 22:12
In it for life, everything is showbiz. All the best to Mrs. Rushden and the Helen Copter, Tom.
22:12 - 22:21
So, producer Will, is Sao Tome and Principe a normal country? Oh, incorrect. So there we are.
22:21 - 22:27
Keep your guesses coming, please. I've never heard of that place before. It sounded like some sounds.
22:27 - 22:37
It sounded like the next island to where Death in Paradise is set. And, you know, if a detective has done well, they are then promoted to Sao Tome and Principe.
22:38 - 23:34
We go straight to Curdle II. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. I've got cheese. This is cheese! Dear Department of Daffodils, the woke bloke off TalkSport and Mars Bar, considering the level of criticism you've received for repetition, as if this is an episode of just a minute.
23:34 - 23:43
I am disappointed by the standard of cheese-based suggestions put forward by pod listeners. Doesn't everyone have a tracker that is avidly filled out each Wednesday morning?
23:43 - 23:56
Yes. So far, I've counted three times Cheddar, St. Tola, and Gouda, two times Gruyere, Port Salou, Applewood Smoke, Babybel, Edam, Camembert, plus Cashel Blue was repeatedly suggested in repeated positions, says Neil in Warrington.
23:56 - 24:20
Yes. Attached is my tracker to avoid any duplication in my suggestion, which is thank you for attaching your tracker Bree Bing Bing Bing Epoise If I've pronounced that correctly Caerphilly Bing Bing Bing Cashel Blue Bing Bing Bing Dairylee Oh Okay
24:20 - 24:31
There's something in that Yeah I mean yeah We all know the sister cheese to Dairylee don't we? I can already hear DOD's eyes rolling in exasperation of these guesses In It For Life Neil in Warrington Thank you, Neil.
24:31 - 24:35
Very kind of you. Thank you, Neil. So there we are. Do you have any questions for me, David?
24:36 - 24:45
One question regarding yesterday. What did you do? Okay, good question. 5.38 a.m. Here we go, guys.
24:46 - 24:55
5.38. Willie wakes up. You've got to take 5.38. He's been doing quite a lot of split nights, kind of a lot of up from two till four for no reason, absolutely whatsoever.
24:55 - 25:08
Oof. I pick up Willie. There's noise from Ian's room, and Jamie has been in Ian's bed which he ends up quite a lot of the time so I'm hoping for perhaps a drop off and go back to bed that's the dream scenario yes
25:08 - 25:19
we've all woken at the same time. Ian and Jamie have been up since 5 so there's no way that I'm going to get the extra bonus sleep. Jamie makes porridge for the boys. she goes back to bed yeah so
25:19 - 25:31
the situation is it's quarter to six it's me, Ian and Willy we're in the living room I turn on PSG Bayern Munich the semi-final of the Champions League Oh, what some are calling the greatest game in the history of football.
25:31 - 25:39
That is perhaps recency bias, but it's an excellent game. But I'm starting it, I'm an hour behind or a bit more than an hour behind, but that's okay, I haven't looked at my phone.
25:39 - 25:46
Ian's eating porridge at the table. Willie has hoovered up his subo of porridge, which is in a little sucky-suck bottle.
25:47 - 25:54
And so now he's eating some out of a bowl with a tiny spoon. And I'm helping him, but his spoon work is really improving.
25:54 - 26:10
So well done to Willie for that. Great. He walks off with the bowl and I am a bit late on, you know, he's holding a ceramic bowl and he's 14 months old and he's not in the kind of put it in the sink or put it away vibe.
26:10 - 26:16
He can't reach the sink, so it's not entirely his fault. But I'm watching PSG Bayern Munich and it is a really good football match, right?
26:16 - 26:19
So I'm letting him walk off with the bowl. What's the worst that can happen?
26:19 - 26:25
I have a fair idea. We all have a fair idea. So I hear a loud bang and I'm walking to the bathroom and now the bowl is in four pieces.
26:26 - 26:28
Oh, did he pop it in the bath? He didn't pop it in the bath.
26:28 - 26:31
There is no bath. There's just a shower, but he just drops it in the bathroom.
26:32 - 26:38
You know, and it's a tiled bathroom. And so the tiles and the ceramic work in such a way to break the bowl into four pieces.
26:38 - 26:44
Does he go, uh-oh? Does he realize it's a bad thing to do? Does he say, uh-oh?
26:44 - 26:51
Because that is in his repertoire. I'm not sure, but Ian is right on the case and he is desperately sad.
26:51 - 27:05
and despite showing no emotion towards this bowl until now it turns out he really loves this bowl and quote he loves putting things in this bowl he would be so sad if it goes in the bin shit
27:05 - 27:20
so i put it on the kitchen table and say it's okay i'll fix it which between you and me is an absolute bare-faced lie but for the time being it's what i'm gonna do he runs to the bedroom to inform Jamie of what's happened.
27:20 - 27:25
And Willie goes along and Jamie's very excited to be woken. She would say, wake me for important news.
27:25 - 27:31
And so she is absolutely delighted to hear this. I am back in the living room watching the game of the season.
27:31 - 27:37
I'm not Waleed Aly. I watch it in one go, right? But like there are other things happening, but I am watching it in one go.
27:37 - 27:47
At one point it goes off the TV, it goes on the laptop because me and Ian need to get to grips with the Mr. Chicken Australia puzzle, which we do at least twice a day.
27:47 - 27:52
and sometimes five times a day. Just remind me, what is the Mr. Chicken Australia puzzle?
27:53 - 27:59
So Mr. Chicken is a really fun kids book where Mr. Chicken goes to Paris or Rome or London or Australia or space.
27:59 - 28:03
They're the ones we've got. It's like sort of fun for adults, but it's really good for kids.
28:03 - 28:06
Is he a chicken? He is a chicken. Yeah, he's a chicken. He's a big chicken.
28:06 - 28:15
And he eats a lot and he gets bigger in most of the books. So the puzzle is the map of Australia with lots of Mr. Chickens in various parts of Australia.
28:16 - 28:24
and I really actually, it's sort of become Stockholm Syndrome. I'm now like almost desperate to do the Mr. Chicken puzzle for myself.
28:24 - 28:31
It's a 250 piece puzzle. So like that's good and Ian's pretty good at it. Like is he having a coffee in Melbourne?
28:31 - 28:36
You know what I mean? Is he buying some meth in Sydney? You know, stuff like that.
28:36 - 28:44
There's Uluru, which Ian costs Subaru. There's the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You know, there's like the giant banana and the big prawn and there's...
28:44 - 28:48
Yeah, he's not like on crack on Chapel Street. They don't have that in the puzzle.
28:49 - 28:53
Or, you know, being not allowed into Australia for having an apple in his bag.
28:53 - 29:01
I played football on Sunday, right? And I still hurt all over. So I don't know if I'm injured because my body has just yet to reach a level where...
29:01 - 29:06
So like sitting down at a table is actually not so uncomfortable that I'm happy with that position.
29:07 - 29:24
And so the puzzle is great. It would be the difficulty for Carrot Man, and we hope he's well, to leave Australia the leaving would probably be fine but imagine him trying to come back in again with that huge carrot we hope he's well
29:24 - 29:34
sorry continue with your yesterday the boys are dressed I'm taking him into kinder he is now cycling so I'm on the bike and he's on the bike but when we go to the bike now
29:34 - 29:51
Willie points at the bike seat and says I want to come and the babysitter has cancelled the night before because she just wasn't in the mindset to babysit which you know i imagine that is gen z for i don't feel very well but i'm like i just wish
29:51 - 30:00
she'd said i've got diarrhea because then i'd be like oh fine don't worry about it say i'm not in the mindset yeah yeah yeah i'm not in the mindset do you take that personally as a reflection on
30:00 - 30:07
your children then well now you put it like that i'd say fair enough i'm often not in the mindset It's like, yeah, preach.
30:07 - 30:16
I just replied, preach, sister. That's what you should have said at 538. Ian put his arse in your face.
30:16 - 30:21
I'm so sorry. I'm just not in the mindset right now. Not in the mindset.
30:21 - 30:28
I'll be back at seven. So that sort of, we've got to rejig things. So I, oh no, I don't take Willie actually.
30:28 - 30:31
Normally I, if Willie looks at the bike, I'm saying, okay, you get in the back.
30:31 - 30:41
But Jamie has Willie and I just take Ian. but I can't lift my leg over the crossbar like that easily because my hips are so far.
30:42 - 30:50
My hips don't lie, but I don't think in the way that Shakira meant. They're just like really, really inflexible because I played on Sunday.
30:50 - 30:55
First game of the season, two nil win-ups in Kevins. It was absolutely glorious. So good.
30:55 - 31:00
Have you infused the team with some younger players who run around? Here's a thing.
31:00 - 31:08
Here's a thing. We've got a guy on our team now, Quentin II? No, who played for the Republic of Ireland as a kid.
31:08 - 31:16
What? And then spent 20 years or something playing Gaelic football for County Mayo. Whoa! They've never won the grand final, right?
31:16 - 31:20
They've lost like a million in a row or something. They won in 1951 and they haven't won since then.
31:20 - 31:24
So he didn't play in that one, but he certainly played in a couple of, you know, full croak parks.
31:25 - 31:28
And now he's standing next to me in centre mid. Do you know his name?
31:28 - 31:36
Well, we call him Carl. C-A-T-H-A-L. Carhole. Cahill Freeman. They're by county, you know. So I think he played in one or two.
31:37 - 31:45
He must be late 30s. Yeah, God, he can play. So it's very odd to have recruited players that can control past the ball and move.
31:45 - 31:49
But I stand still next to him. But it's a great time. And we play some young kids and we beat him 2-0.
31:49 - 31:57
But that's not my yesterday. But yeah, I can't get on the bike. So when we're cycling, there are a couple of hills on the way if we go on the cycle path.
31:59 - 32:02
And sometimes if he's really in the mood, he can get up the hill. But sometimes he stops.
32:02 - 32:07
and then walks up the hill. And he gets very annoyed with me if I cycle up the hill, I have to get off the bike.
32:07 - 32:12
But getting off the bike is really hard. You know, obviously I have to get off the bike and then get on the bike.
32:13 - 32:17
Anyway, so that's what's happening, but that's fine. Drop-off happens, Ian goes straight to the trains.
32:18 - 32:22
Once he sees the trains, I might as well not exist. That's great. You can't argue with a good drop-off.
32:22 - 32:26
I go to standing room for a long black and some eggs on toast. I have a lovely time.
32:27 - 32:35
Is that the one we went to? Did you take me there? Actually, that's the cafe we went to when I said to you, you have to do this podcast because I've lost quite a lot of work.
32:36 - 32:43
What a beautiful origin story that is. We can push this idea around for a bit, but like now needs must.
32:44 - 32:52
Carl Freeman is also a doctor. So bear that in mind as well. Sorry, I've just looked him up and I remember him.
32:52 - 32:58
But unfortunately, the interview with him, I'm not registered with that paper. So I could only read the free bit.
32:58 - 33:05
So what I got was he is a doctor. And then the words disappear, like Back to the Future, and you're like, oh, paywalls are shit.
33:05 - 33:08
Okay, so I do the podcast script. I have my eggs, I have my coffee.
33:08 - 33:19
I'm happy. I head to the playground at Edinburgh Gardens. Jamie's off to art, so I take Willie, and we really need her to win the Turner Prize so we can rent her the house and have two toilets.
33:19 - 33:27
I chat to a mum who is talking a lot about nature and nurture, and I'm not giving that conversation the attention it deserves because it's a bit early.
33:27 - 33:33
I'm like, I don't know, maybe, whatever. Just like, don't go in deep. It's 9am.
33:33 - 33:38
But hopefully I'm polite enough for her to not think this guy's an asshole. Yeah.
33:38 - 33:45
I'm going to broach a topic now that... Okay, David. It's a curious topic, but I've heard it is a thing from several people.
33:45 - 33:57
Right. That in the playground in this situation, there are one half of various duos and single mothers and fathers generally.
33:57 - 34:15
And I guess au pairs and whatnot. but sometimes i heard from my friend there's quite a sort of flirty vibe there because this is not an inherently sexy place there's a lot of winks and eyebrows yes do you know i shouldn't have said
34:15 - 34:36
when she said it's nature nurturing i just said sorry i'm too horny that's the mistake i've been making well in my playground small talk is i just cut straight to the chase and say i'm just too horny for this it's why you're barred from various soft plays
34:36 - 34:48
around melbourne i have to say i don't think i have the most testosterone at the best of times i've described it as you know that of an unambitious panda but really for me it's not a
34:48 - 35:01
flirty place okay what i want is someone else who we all know the wonderful things about having children but like i just want somebody else to be like yeah this is hard today that's what i'm
35:01 - 35:11
looking for so anyway we we um we go to the skate park because there's some nice mums there that jamie was chatting to yesterday and i so i sort of said hello to them and there's one nice one
35:11 - 35:21
really nice mum who knows everybody in the whole of the town and so she introduced me to some other mums and willie plays with one of their scooters and we just talk about life and that's nice because
35:21 - 35:34
it's just some adult conversation about this and that and that's great since the great success of the lloyd langford episode a guest you effectively tracked down and cornered in a soft play or in a
35:34 - 35:40
playground are you seeing all these people as potential guests on what did you do yesterday
35:40 - 36:01
Well, when I suggest, you know, my friends as guests, such as Dave, the Olympic taekwondo osteopatho 708, you don't react with great positivity in the chat. No, I'm seeing these as just, you know, they're just civilians. I'm not saying come on the pod. We're all doing the same thing, which is just filling some time. It's a beautiful day, but it's such a nice day.
36:01 - 36:17
cycle back put Willie in the back seat cycle back so that's fine he rejects the toasty he rejects the tomato he rejects the yogurt we play a bit of tennis we got a swing ball a sort of DIY swing ball and he really likes his tennis
36:17 - 36:29
to the point where you know we've got a few videos of him hitting a tennis ball at 14 months so like if he did win the French Open they'd be good in a montage it's sort of the vibe but you know I'm not going to push him towards tennis
36:29 - 36:35
because I reckon that's a really boring life. I don't know. We'd have to get Yevgeny Kofelnikov on.
36:35 - 36:40
What did you do yesterday? And then he'd go, yeah, she was really boring. Yesterday was, I just hit loads of tennis balls.
36:40 - 36:50
Yeah, like McElroy, footage of McElroy hitting golf balls into a washing machine from like 20 feet away that are just brought up time and time again.
36:50 - 36:57
So yeah. So you don't really have a hope unless your parents are mad. Basically that's the, unless you are so, so talented.
36:57 - 37:11
Like there's no way two-year-old McElroy was like I'd like to hit these golf balls into that washing machine it was obviously his parents were like you will keep hitting golf balls into the washing machine
37:11 - 37:23
till one of them goes I saw a reel where like a dad is teaching you know resilience to his one-year-old and they basically got a baseball diamond in their house so like you know like if you've got
37:23 - 37:37
four rooms it's odd to pick one and it's just like be tough be strong and he gets him out he's like yes strike like two for goodness sake i won't i won't win snap against ian he's absolutely screwed
37:37 - 37:49
he's never gonna make it however if mcelroy does come on this part i hope that bit hasn't put him off i think he's a good old guy mcelroy and also imagine the questions you would have about the washing machine and
37:49 - 38:04
what it's Panasonic speed must. I did get really drunk with Graham McDowell once I could ask him on but you know let's go for Rory. Okay so I put Willie down for a nap Jamie gets home from art she had a nice time we chat for five minutes
38:04 - 38:18
then I go to bed Willie naps I nap it's 2pm I've had a great nap yeah I have a cheese and tomato sandwich with some micro greens in it which is I think it's just a way of selling cress for $50 So that's good.
38:18 - 38:21
I get on my bike. I buy a new bike lock because I've lost my keys.
38:22 - 38:25
So I get a new lock and that's exciting. What do you go for? Coily, coily.
38:26 - 38:34
I don't want a D-lock. I just want a little coily, coily, coily. Does it have a frame attachment on it or where do you put the lock when you're cycling?
38:34 - 38:41
I just lock it to the kid's seat. Yeah. There's already another lock on the kid's seat that I can't take off because I've lost my keys.
38:41 - 38:54
So eventually it'll just be like, they'll be covered in locks. Yeah. I go to I've got a tiny bit of work to do so I go to another cafe called Market Lane get a three quarter flatty it's good I finish this pod script
38:54 - 39:06
I've got 25 minutes for a swim wow because I think like I need to be able to get my legs to move because I've got a game on Sunday and this little period of the year where I'm playing football or like you know I'm just in agony
39:06 - 39:15
but I can't really show it so I'm trying to do that so I go for a swim but I haven't got enough time because you know I said to Jamie I'd be back at a certain time
39:15 - 39:27
and she likes punctuality as do i so i do about 10 lengths but there is a there's a 200 year old man in the fast lane he probably can't see this the fast lane and there are two 90 year old men
39:27 - 39:38
in the slow lane so there's no real place for me to like position myself without having to like spin mid-length and that's a bit annoying is it a 50 meter pool is it a no no i think it's a 25
39:38 - 39:55
it's a 25 okay so is that enough doing your tan lengths to feel some sort of burn no not at all but there's a sauna and a jacuzzi and i'm thinking these are precious minutes yeah so i've got five
39:55 - 40:03
minutes in the sauna and five minutes in jacuzzi i've got to be strict with the times but i really just try and close my eyes and breathe deeply and not look at all the other sweaty people in
40:03 - 40:17
either place do you pull down your swimming shorts and put the pipe next to your arse so that your shorts then fill with the bubbling brook of water oh of course yeah i should hope so thank you i go
40:17 - 40:29
and buy some garlic and some smoked almonds because dinner in a box had missed a couple of ingredients they've offered us a ten dollar compensation that's fine with me so i get home and
40:29 - 40:39
i hand those to jamie she's making dinner willie is holding onto her legs so she can't do anything that's sort of where he likes to be a lot of the time does the thought cross your mind you know
40:39 - 40:54
this place with all of these other things you get in a box how about instead of getting the thing in a box i just buy the various things for much cheaper i don't have the time for this i don't
40:54 - 41:02
have the time to do it i don't have the time to listen to be told i can't have dinner in a box There will come a time where I won't have Tinder in a box.
41:02 - 41:07
There was a time when I looked down on Dinner in the Box people and now I'm one of those people.
41:08 - 41:13
Anyway, Jamie is like fed up of Willie, so I put him on the back of the bike and I cycle to get Ian.
41:14 - 41:20
We go to Kinder. Willie likes being in Kinder. Ian's at the train, surprisingly. You know, he's had a nice day.
41:21 - 41:27
I get Willie out. I put him in the bike, get Ian, his hat on and all that, and then we cycle home.
41:27 - 41:33
We are going the cycle track way, but Ian is complaining so much about how tired he is with every pedal.
41:34 - 41:37
You know, all he wants to do is cycle to Kinder, and now we're actually doing it.
41:37 - 41:42
He absolutely is not having it. So I'm like, let's go the quick way. So we go down the main road, but on the pavement.
41:42 - 41:49
So it's quick. That's fine. We get home. Jamie's made dinner for the boys. So it's about five o'clock, which means it's Football Weekly for me.
41:51 - 41:55
It's Jonathan Wilson, alumni of the pod. Johnny Liu. Who would be a good guest, Johnny Liu?
41:55 - 41:59
Yeah, really good. Barry Glendenning would be a good guest, has agreed to do it in five years' time.
41:59 - 42:03
That is a cynical panel to discuss the greatest game of football of all time.
42:03 - 42:10
And Wilson basically pisses on everyone. Everyone's going, this is the greatest game ever. He goes, well, actually, the defending wasn't really that good.
42:10 - 42:15
And we're like, okay. People accuse us of being a parody of ourselves. But it's a good episode.
42:16 - 42:22
I come out at 6.15, dinner in a box, sweet potato and chickpea stew with a rocket salad.
42:22 - 42:27
That is impossible to buy your own sweet potatoes and chickpeas, so I'm not hearing it from you.
42:27 - 42:33
Is there an ingredient missing in that, though? Would you like? I don't necessarily mean you need a meat there.
42:33 - 42:38
Oh, there's feta all over it. Okay, so texturally, it's okay. That's what I'm concerned about here.
42:38 - 42:44
No, no, that's okay. It's really delicious. It's a well-thought-through meal. I watched two episodes of Curious George, who's a monkey.
42:44 - 42:48
He's a curious monkey who gets up to stuff. Yeah, I used to like him.
42:48 - 43:00
Oh, you like him? Okay, that's good. American. He's very American, yeah. Seven o'clock, I have a chat to the head of TalkSport just to check if you know i'm still good at radio and he isn't about to fire me and uh he likes this
43:00 - 43:12
pod so hello liam great 7 30 is what did you do yesterday at amy annette who i think it's fair to say you booked yeah it's uh it's a good episode it's good i think it's a good episode i think
43:12 - 43:23
we have a good time it is funny though max like imagine if you were doing a sort of appraisal knowing that the person is going to go on their podcast the next day and effectively review
43:23 - 43:33
your review yeah but she didn't know that we didn't say it's my yesterday you better be good amy so i'm talking about the head of talk sport oh right the real power play on your part for
43:33 - 43:44
i want to say how was the meeting with liam well it's just he was working from home you know is that a bit lazy interesting question no people are in the cold face making radio and he's just
43:44 - 43:59
swanning about what do you think yeah it's quite a long episode amy has so many things to say it goes on a bit for the tape it's like at some point about 9 p.m or 9 10 you say max are you in
43:59 - 44:11
a bit of a hurry we'll rattle through this and i say i've got 15 minutes that's okay i've got to be out by 9 20 p.m and it's 9 30 p.m and we're now discussing what are we talking about there
44:11 - 44:22
was a moment where i asked a supplementary question i was like why am i asking a supplementary question about this it was something she chose to eat late i can't remember what it was or something And I was like, Max, you don't have time for this.
44:23 - 44:29
So, you know, I am fielding a few WhatsApp messages from the TalkSport producers while this is happening.
44:29 - 44:34
I hope that doesn't, you don't notice. I helmet, I see where your little eyes are and I know when to take over.
44:35 - 44:42
So we finish at about 9.30. So then I'm straight on the Zoom with TalkSport to talk about the show that I'm doing with Charlie Baker on a Wednesday afternoon.
44:42 - 44:49
But there's no Zoom because Charlie's wife is locked in their house behind the electric gates of the drive.
44:49 - 44:58
but obviously that is the whole start of the show where i'm like i didn't know you had a drive with electric gates you're doing yeah charlie baker's doing better than i thought he was you know yeah
44:58 - 45:06
what if his show rate is higher than my show rate this is big stuff i've been there longer than him and i don't have gates anyway we get onto the subject of the fact you could have big electric
45:06 - 45:19
gates but like live in a tent and then someone texts in to say someone they know in cornwall their neighbor built 10 foot walls concrete walls and big electric gates and then they saw it open and there was just a caravan in there,
45:19 - 45:32
which is absolutely sensational. Now, highlights from the show, I don't know if you saw in the, at the top of the National League, which is the league below the Football League,
45:32 - 45:37
the two teams that could get promoted. Rochdale and York were playing each other, right?
45:37 - 45:42
And the winner, if Rochdale won, they'd get promoted. If it was a draw, York would get promoted.
45:42 - 45:50
But they both got like a million points. It's extraordinary. And in the 95th minute, i.e. five minutes after the game should have finished, Rochdale score.
45:50 - 45:59
They have won. And there's a pitch invasion. And then, because that adds time on, York then score in like the 110th minute or something.
45:59 - 46:08
And so they actually get promoted. So there's this pitch invasion for nothing. But someone's been taking a video of the pitch invasion of the Rochdale fans when they think they've won.
46:09 - 46:15
Oh, yeah. And somebody is on the centre circle scattering the ashes of a loved one, right?
46:18 - 46:30
And then they embrace someone. walk off the pitch and then they see York score the winner so they've gone and scattered the ashes and then actually it's for nothing because we do stories of scattering ashes and
46:30 - 46:45
they're really good and basically you do a radio show and you ask for stories about scattering ashes the phrase gust of wind is in every single text message you get basically it doesn't matter where people are they could be in a complete vacuum and a gust of wind
46:45 - 46:52
would blow all the ashes into their face but we got loads of those messages they were fun And there's one other bit of the radio show that is really fun,
46:52 - 47:01
which is Charlie and I have come up, mainly Charlie, we've come up with this game called the Wheel of Football, where we get two callers on, and they suggest a footballer each, right?
47:01 - 47:07
So it could be Gary Lineker and Pele, and then we spin the wheel, and it's a category.
47:07 - 47:14
And the category could be most goals, could be weight, or it could be who would win in a game of Rummy Cup, right?
47:14 - 47:31
There's some subjective stuff, and we have a panel discussion. There's one question where one suggests John Bumstead, old Chelsea's at the back, and one suggests Tamuri Ketsbire, who famously scored a goal for Newcastle and went insane and kicked an advertising boarding until it broke into a thousand pieces.
47:31 - 47:39
And the category is most likely to give you a lift to the airport. So we suggest, we have a debate about it, but we give it to John Bumstead.
47:39 - 47:44
And then it turns out that he did the knowledge. We didn't know this. It actually was a taxi driver.
47:45 - 47:51
So that is good. But then the last category is a footballer called Linvoi Primus, who is a really lovely man.
47:52 - 48:02
Like, played for Portsmouth, big centre-back, but really, really delightful man. And he's against Craig Johnston, played for Liverpool in the 80s, invented the Predator football boot, quite an interesting guy.
48:02 - 48:09
And the category is, who's the best singer? Now, because the callers were so good, we were like, why don't we find out in the week who's the best singer?
48:10 - 48:17
So then I message Mark Bosnich, who knows Craig Johnston, because they're in Australia to say, could you get Craig John?
48:17 - 48:21
And we say, let's pick a song. And we pick in the air tonight, Phil Collins.
48:21 - 48:27
Could they both, if we hear them both sing a line from that. So I get, I text pause and then I message Linvoi Primus.
48:28 - 48:33
So I haven't messaged about eight years. I say, could you do me a favor and just sing a line of Phil Collins in the air tonight?
48:34 - 48:39
And Linvoi Primus has said, it's all right, I'm listening. So Linvoi Primus sings in the air tonight.
48:39 - 48:46
Just a line from it. And it's like, there's something about live radio, which I, without sounding like a dick about it, I love.
48:47 - 48:54
At no point in the production meeting did we ever say, what we want to do is try and have a conversation about who's a better singer out of Linvoy Primus and Craig Johnson.
48:55 - 48:59
And then one of them actually sings In the Air Tonight. And so I'm delighted about that.
49:00 - 49:06
How did Linvoy sing it? Not bad. I think he was using like WhatsApp voice note rather than voice note, voice note.
49:06 - 49:09
So it wasn't like the audio quality wasn't high, but he can hold the tune.
49:09 - 49:24
That's for sure. Now, like for the tape, I have been in touch I spoke to Mark Bosnich today and he's going to ask Craig Johnson so hopefully by next Wednesday we get Craig Johnson singing in the air tonight anyway it's five to one so like the last
49:24 - 49:34
section of the show you either do a quiz you can do with your eyes closed or you get a guest you know it'll be great because it's the end of the show you don't care and we've booked Perry Groves who's won the title with Arsenal
49:34 - 49:48
but Arsenal are playing later that day but his signal is so bad that we just got to say sorry we can't eat you so then we've got six minutes and me and charlie are both on air just going look i got nothing
49:48 - 49:59
i've got nothing you got nothing we're there going i've got nothing we limp i mean never has a radio show ended with more like limping over the line we're just like yeah i thought should
49:59 - 50:08
we have a debrief about the show yeah why not anyway the listeners kind of they're in on it you know they're kind of like this is fine there's no time we can't we don't have time to introduce
50:08 - 50:20
like a proper debate we don't have time to really do anything we've just got four minutes to be like could you play the anfield rap you know a song that's roughly to do with football or something
50:20 - 50:31
do you have any of those in emergency standby no we think the emergency tape is sort of because we've tested this before by me and charlie trying meditation on a saturday where we both sit there in
50:31 - 50:42
silence for as long as we can and see who blinks first me charlie or the production team and it's always it's never me of course i'm absolutely committed to the bit but we think if it's silent
50:42 - 50:53
for so long it will be like an episode of danny kelly the brilliant danny kelly who isn't very well at the moment and send him my love he did this series called my sporting life and it's like
50:53 - 51:02
you know this is your life and i bet if you're silent for long enough it'll be danny kelly interviews harry redknapp and i'm desperate to find out like i'm absolutely desperate to be
51:02 - 51:14
quiet enough for long enough but someone always breaks i was once wrote a sketch for radio that had a silence in it for too long and was told you can't because like radios start to detune and stuff
51:14 - 51:29
if there's just silence because it appears the signal is dropped well of course like it's so counterintuitive like everyone in their car will be like what's on smooth like that's just you know people do that after like one second so the absolute stupidity of doing 30 seconds of silence
51:29 - 51:40
is so thrilling to me. So then it's one o'clock in the morning, show finishes, I close the laptop, go to the toilet, send a message saying, just got home, great show,
51:40 - 51:49
still doing that gag. I do three different shows on TalkSport, different producers, no one ever bites, no one's ever interested in this gag, but I'm absolutely committed to it.
51:49 - 51:57
I'd say 10 past one, stop looking at my phone, go to sleep. Not for long, but that is officially the end of the day.
51:57 - 52:02
21 hours after being woken up. I know you had a little snooze there in the middle.
52:02 - 52:08
Oh, I had a good hour for you. The other question that your day has brought up in me is...
52:08 - 52:14
Yes, David. For some reason, I looked at Craig Johnson, former Liverpool wingers Wikipedia recently.
52:14 - 52:22
He invented the predator boot. He also invented the thing in hotel rooms that automatically charges drinks to your bill.
52:22 - 52:27
What an amazing discovery that is. Like, that's a genius idea, isn't it? But he's obviously invented loads.
52:27 - 52:36
Like a lot of the great inventors, Edison, et cetera, invented like types of rocking chair and then the electric light and then whatever, radio.
52:37 - 52:43
So I do wonder what else has he invented. So please ask him that also.
52:43 - 52:53
I don't want to ask him anything. I just want him to go, I can feel it calling in the air tonight for so long.
52:54 - 53:09
If you'd like to get in touch with the podcast, to get in touch with the show you can email us at what did you do yesterday pod at gmail.com follow us on instagram at yesterday pod and please subscribe and leave a review if you liked it on
53:09 - 53:23
your preferred podcast platform and if you didn't please don't i wonder who would have a better singing voice between us if it was that competition well i mean that's a good question isn't it i can
53:28 - 53:36
Do you think if we did a single, but like not funny, like we really, we really tried.
53:36 - 53:43
I don't know if you've seen recently, have you seen, obviously Nick Knowles did Eye for an Eye, which is definitely worth watching on YouTube.
53:43 - 53:50
But have you seen Damien Lewis do a single the other day? And I think partly it's not really fair.
53:50 - 54:01
is because if you decide this is what someone is, like Trevor McDonald could release the greatest song of all time, but because it's Trevor McDonald, you'd be like, come on, Trevor, this isn't you.
54:01 - 54:07
And so I can't tell if Damien Lewis's song is bad or good because it's Damien Lewis.
54:07 - 54:12
I'm like, no, you're Homeland, man. You know, you're... It's bad. Okay, it's bad. Okay, fair enough.
54:13 - 54:17
Do you think if we did a single, but we really... Because we've got some musicality within us.
54:17 - 54:30
Yes. There's no doubt about that. and we really released it as a proper song i think i couldn't do a video i just couldn't look earnest in a music video like i couldn't especially with you there with your massive head
54:30 - 54:43
in the middle of us walking through snowy vienna and black polo necks you know what i mean yeah singing a song about loss yeah i mean i mean i'm about to do an improv show for this podcast so
54:43 - 54:52
you write a song about unrequited love and let's we'll stick it out there if you'd like to get in touch with the podcast and we've done that yet here's how yeah we've done that we've done that
54:52 - 55:03
he's had three asahis during i've had three asahis yeah we're everything in showbiz levels of excitement this is good and also because the clocks have changed just for the tape
55:03 - 55:18
7 56 i can watch an episode of the traitors i can have a fourth asahi i'm in it for life i am literally stuck doing this for as long as i am on this earth thanks really good that we are I'm going to do it forever.
55:19 - 55:27
I don't know what will happen to podcasts, but like whatever. I'm so committed to being like 86 and being like, I just, we don't even like each other anymore.
55:27 - 55:35
Like, fuck, got to do it because we made a promise. And I'm like, I don't think you should get dinner in a box.
55:35 - 55:40
I think you should get ingredients and cook. You'll be like, I didn't mention this yesterday.
55:40 - 55:44
And then you'll repeat something you said. I'll be like, oh, wow. I'm worried about you, David.
55:45 - 55:49
You'll try to end the show six times. when I tell people I have to get in touch.
55:49 - 55:52
Thanks, everyone. Bye. Goodbye. Bye.
