Dinner with Tom Ballard and Conclusion

There are millions of them. Some might say too many? I have one already. I don't have any 'cause there are enough. Politics, businessiness, 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? T afraid of being censored by the man Posibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We'll try and say it at the same time, Max. What did you do yesterday yesterday? What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guest got up to yesterday, Nhing more. Day before yesterday, Max? No, the greatest and most interesting day of your life Unless it was yesterday We don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushton, and I'm David O'Dah Hy. Welcome to What did you do yesterday. Hello everyone and welcome to Midwkay Hem from The the people that bring you what did you do yesterday? My name's Max Rusushen, alongside me David O'd Di, welcome, David. It's the toughest one, isn't it? The first one after we didn't get the hosting of strictly come dancing the toughest podcast to do I like everyone, I was in the running And my first thought when Josh Whittaken gre was I could do, I could do that. Yeah. Despite having never watched an episode of Strictly, I don't think that should rule me out of having no link to the show and not being in the right country. Yeah and not really being at that level It would have been a real bard if I'd got the gig. Let's be real It would and you'd be so unclear with it. youd just bring your football chat to it. You'd be like, so the top of the tables decided, but who is going to be relegated over to you and Tom the judge or whatever'd be like, why is this guy think this' a football show? you know, really have they overlooked Uay emory for Chaa Chara of the year that's Hey, can I say hello to Kat So I met at Playnook today. It's not my yesterday, it was nine today We were chatting and young Willie Rushon was running around with one of her friends, little kids. and she had a three month oldc called Morgan and then she said, do you do a podcast? And then we had a nice chat. And her mother in law, Gay, went came to the live show in Melbourne so hello. Wow. Yeah. The unfortunate thing about this podcast and there are many There are many Yeah One of them is that so this is going to be my yesterday when we get around to it. It is. but Could we just lift the lid a little bit? notot so much in your yesterday because that's against the rules, but this is day six of your wonderful partner being away and you in charge of your children. And people who've listened to the podcast before may have noticed that sometimes you get tired when you're looking after them And that's when you're only doing fifty percent or less of work.ess less. Let's be real, David. I'm what's known in the traders, I am eating bullets, right? Wh are you leating buets? I eating bullets, man What is it today? It's Thursday today So Amy left for a much deserved holiday last Friday at four AM. Yeah. So Fray, Saturday Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wedesday Thursday. This is night seventh. And Willie Rushton has been getting out of bed at four o'clock every morning, except once when he got up at three Not exceptionable behavior. It's not on. It's not on. My work to do at the same time? Sure. I'm making a lot of risotto and I'm just drowning in a risotto of tears. That's what I'm doing. It's a beautiful lyic that is It's like a Franky Valley thug I'm weeping chicken bone broth. into a pot of Aboreo rice. Are they of an age where you can bring Jamie on a iPhone like on the video gam. Yeah. Do that just make them angry though that she's Yeah It's sort of weird. It makes them occasionally happy, occasionally Will'll burst into tears or later Ian will be like, I miss my mom And then they're totally fine for a bit and then Yeah. I am going to pick her up at the airport, not just because I'd be lovely to see her And we love to kids here but also because then I'd be like, and maybe I'll just book a flight that leaves ten minutes later. I'd be like gotta go. It has been good to do to prove that you're capable of it, but just the amount of organization that is needed is just The relentless of it is. It's quite extraordinary. Anyay People love the Shane Daniel Burnne episode, a lot of correspondence mainly on things that Andre Agassy could advertise So to the listeners, I think it's little, possibly Aldi L He is endorsing a brand of pans Yeah. and in the picture, he is holding the pan like a tennis racket. So ye if you didn't hear the episode, there was a discussion of you made the point he can only advertise it shaped like shaped like a tennis racket. And then we quickly got to Bellows And you know, the sort of relative sales figures of Bellows through the ages, which is obviously where this podcast would always get to. Producer willill sent us a picture of Andre Agassy and a banjo. I can't believe we didn't get a banjo but it's got strings as well. It's got everything. Like it's absolutely made for Andre isn't? I know, but imagine the sound the banjo would make as you hit it with the ball And then it raises an even bigger question, which is would Andrey Agassy beat me at tennis. he was just a banjo He with a D Lop Max fly and him with a banjo. It's a different f you know, they he couldn't hit a cow's ar with a banjo. It's like he couldn't hit a double backhand down the line with a badjoe Well if Andre Agassy was playing, you know, another great tennis player of the nineties, if it was him and Jim Kourier, if they were both playing with banjoes, would it play Cot ey Joe as the game was playing. That happen Expensive Zebron reedit. said sureurely went for aggazy's agent to get onto. And it was a different Reddit post that they had read, which just said todayoday I saw a lollipop man walking away from Pumably his finished shift, and he had his lollipop in a custom lollipop carry case. It was like. It was like a large lollipop shaped tennis racket case. I've never been more gutted to not be able to take a photo of something in my life. A friend suggested, they have to keep their lollipop sheathed when they aren't on duty so they don't accidentally stop traffic Yeah they're too powerful. They have such power in Melbourne lollipop people. They're like really in your business. Like if you're on your own and you cross the road sort of near them, they're sort of really annoyed with you that you haven't like used their crossvent this. You can can't bl honestly. This is like a cololumn those two' absolutely This is Adrianne Chiles absolutely had of ideas. You know what ticks me right off the arrogance of lollipop people. My question is so if I got the case with the outer case with the lollipop in it Do you have a second lollipop in there? And before you start the shift, do you sort of bang the heads each other to f the correct tension? If you get a points violation for a terrible crossing and you smash your lollipop you go and you get another lollipop W What long bag that would be unless they have a sort of little foldable you know, pole It's not hand luggage, is it? you know, you're going have to check that in for lollipop conventions. It's also it's like a serious job in that they help children cross the road. yet it's been reduced by its name to a piece of confectionery You know what I mean? It'd be like if they have too much power. That's all I'm saying. If you know in fire Brigade, the people who like cut bodies out of crashed cars if that person was called the candy fls man deserves a more serious name than lollipop. I understand, but they are holding something that looks like a lollipop. the person cutting you out of your RTA not is using like a mechanical saw. He's not using something that looks like candy floss. I think that would be the if I was to deconstruct your suggestion. My point is I am one hundred percent confident me with a Pince P rackquet would beat Andrey Agassi with the lollipop because his would be fucked he'd have to throw up So high Although, if he got good at it, it may we played even Eovich from that height if he got a bit of whip on the serve, you absolutely no hope Have you? Jim suggested wool from Gadiators could advertise cotton buds This is really Oh so this is other people from other sports advertising things that are shaped like the thing from their sport. We later got into in the shane Daniel Brne episode that our legacy could advertise Yale keys, but like from a distance that would be the same from Wolf from Glad. They have some perspective or like mini Wolf. Yeah. He also suggests fasima whipbread cocktail sticks. It's a similar Oussie AB said Davy Thompson could do sort of any sort of flatware, paper plates, fine dining. any sort of discus Oh discus thing. Yeah. Be we did suggest Sergey Bubka and scaffldolding, didn't we Ryan writes. Good morning time travellers. We're listening to the Sane Daniel Burn episode. I was shocked to learn that Max has never had to dry his own socks and pants. Look I'm in agalitarian dryer. they go on the same line as the t shirts and the trousers. Perhaps he purchased a tumble dryer during the socer and Glory years where his clothes is dry instantly in the Australian heat. The little octopus with pegs to dry your clothes is not exclusively Irish, as you appear to suggest. These are very common. I think most people I know in England have had or have one of these, we affectionately call ours the soctopus. I love listening to both of you each week document these important moments in history. I'm happy you're in it for life. Lve Ryan. I did find that curious that somehow you'd lived through twenty six years of your life so far and never encountered one of these things. So we had to describe it to you like an uncontacted tribe The way they would have to have, you know a blue ray player described to them. Yes It's a documentary where someone discovers me just living this very simple life and you know, sort of patronize me because I don't understand the suctopus. I'm totally wowed by this invention that changes my life, but also really upsets the dynamic of the tribe. Sorry, someone sent me a message to say and it's bad, I can't remember their name, thans for writing. Swimmers, Michael Phelps could advertise any fluid whatsoever. As then he could do Bisto gravy, but he could also do lilt. Yeah, but he couldn't do Lenore. could he like that him swimming through L! It be. He could like sulfuric acid. like that would be a, you know Caustic soda would be a very difficult one for him. It's a while since I saw like a big advert for sulfuric acid. So you know, maybe they they're just not selling like it used to, I suppose. Paul this is regards you went on Mel Gedroich's funeral podcast. Oh yeah Well, there's a will, there's a wake I'm sorry don't apologize. You're free to do other things. you're free to see other people. You're just doing this one for life. That's what this is. It's an open marriage. Paul says I'd like to draw your attention to the cold opening of DOD's episode of Where There's a Will There's Awake with Mel Gedroge. Although given the transcript I'm about to share, cold opening feels wrong. In the first ten seconds of the podcast, DOD said the following What I've never had is a bath of it where I lie in the bath and when I want to drink some, I go slurb in it. So conditioned I am by the BOC from what did you do yesterday? I was briefly horrified the DOD had taken this niche reference to an environment where it was very much unwelcome and then pushed it further by imagining imbibing while submerged. I was relieved when DOD different C word to fill his fantasy bath, chowder. Yeah. Sorry, in your funeral, you want to be in a bath of chowder. in your coffin. So you want a coven filled with chowder. That went up as a video sort of trail for it and it has many comments and they are eighty percent referring because bath of chowder is the same initial. It was What would you like for your final meal And because I do love chowder and because you can say whatever you want because it's a fantasy podcast. I said I would like a bath to be in a bath of chowder I can see why people put two and two together and I suspect Anyone when they're coming to your restaurant and you say I strongly recommend the chowder will probably not take you up on the offer. The problem was I wanted because I like big slabs of kind of Irish brown bread beside it to get into the bath And so this is again, we're back to the classic topic of entering BOCs. I said I would roll because the brown bread would be the size of the floor of the room. so I could nibble it to the side like the way a rat goes through concrete. You don't want to eat a slice of bread that you've rolled your naked form on It's my final meal. You fine with that? Yeah. And then roll into the bath And so that's what Pool Tent Tim said, your method of entering the bath is even more disturbing to imagine when it's a bath of chowder Like, are you easing the chowder when you're in it? And if you need a wee, what are you going to do Can we just that's not going to come up Why didn'tel Mel's meant to be a forensic journalist? Sort did she ask you these questions I would we, you know, when you do an extra wee where you fully wee out your whole system, I would do that beforehand where you go extra twenty percent of we And then I would have an enjoyable bath of chowder. And if there's something wrong with that, lock me up and throw away the key. Later in the episode David referred to a swimming pool of crereme brrulee, the third C word in the trilogy of cath filling liquids withith chowder and creme brulet on offer, I can't help thinking. As what did you do yesterday, listeners? called the short straw when we were introduced Bath of come in it for life, but not in the BOC for life, Pul in London Now Hay and Calgary's been in touch This is you remember, we were worried last week. Obviously, we will bring you the results of the Montenegro tea soon, but we're worried by the quizzes all disappearing and then suddenly we started four or last week. Yeah. This is the person by the cucumbers in Peter Monte's quizz I forgot about it this Halen Calgary says using my knowledge from playing cricket in Edinburgh Gardens borers I'm submitting my guess for the sort of famous person next to Max at the cucumbers in Peter Mon'. I'm guessing Red Simons of Hey Hey at Saturday fame. I'm not sure that Max would be across that show being a relative newcomer to the country, everything is showb business, etcetera. I have heard of Hey Hey at Saturdays. I have heard of Red Simons, but I don't know what Red Simons looks like and I can confirm The person next to me at the cucumbers in Peta Mont' was not Red Simondons. This, ladies and gentlemen, this could go on forever. You have to answer this question. Is this a person? hang on because I don't have to answer it. Is this someone that I would know or Is it just an obscure because you've been in Australia for five years. So you would know various daytime celebs and radio people. I think if you heard the name, you'd be like, yeah, I know that name I think you'll be like, how do I know that name Yeah, that would be the level. Like just to be clear, I thought I know I recognize that person but I don't know who it is. And then it sort of clicked hours later and I Googled them and it was then. Listeners, is this his worst ever quiz? Is this even worse than the previous S say worse and some say best. Okay Lander inon Albans, D Max producer Marsbar and the destroyer of Tedinton. Recently I was at the Taskmaster chararity football match in Chesham. Yeah, the Alex Horn game which you've played him before, David Ugly We not selected, didid you not make the squad this year? I had a gig that day in Ireland, unfortunately. Many of the comedians who were playing have made an appearance on the podcast Joh Robins,ussell Howard, Charlie Baker, Chloe Petsz, Lusan as many others. I decided to compliment them on their yesterdays and they all received it well, apart from Nish Kumar who said, Oh God my yesterday. In it for life Everything is showbiz. I did message Nish And you, I think, there's a great clip of your Lube show where you're Pil babbing yourself on something in an skpe room and two of you really making me laugh. So yeah, to the listeners, Phil Bab was a beloved Irish footballer in the nineties who, despite beating Italy in the World Cup is best remembered for once sliding into his own goal and heroically clearing the ball, but in doing so opening his legs and taking the post of the go between and had to have full the trainers coming on. I like, what are they going to do? Are they just going to take out the spray spray? Well I have interviewed Phil Bad about this and he claims he hurt his back No one's buying it. What's your back doing there M? It was like leg either side of post and just straight in. Haley says and I don't know if it's a different Hiley, I think it's a different one says Can we do it this is regards the size of your head, David, I apologize. Can we do a listener poll on head sizes just to see how extreme DODs is? Mine is fifty four centimeters post shower measured around the temple It's interesting the time that Halen has done it post shower, as if does your is it like railway tracks? Do it expand in the heat and then Your feet, I think you're supposed to buy new shoes in the evening, arerenn't you? Because your feet are bigger than Do you buy new shoes in the evening? Like half a size bigger, maybe? The first time we were meant to meet it was with Palo Nutini And that was in an the evening. And he did a song about new shoes, didn't he? So it's possible. what that song's about? I think so. Consumer advice by these shoes and even we at Lester Sandals All of Paolo's songs are actually consumer advice. And Robinson co wrote all his albums No guesses on the David Squres quiz, although somebody guessed did we do the Rod Labor guest last week? I can't remember. Yeah. Rod Laor guess. Right We did the Rod Labor guu. So we're looking for a fan of Oxford United This is right, isn't it? we've exhausted. No one knows any of Timy Mallet or Jim Rosenthal, we're all completely screwed. This is being done to us because I don't know the answer to this one. That is what I would describe in Qiz World as a slow burn As quite often we're getting no new guesses. And maybe we should take the hint. att least there was one guest for the byy the cucumbers at Peter Monte's. Yeah a man who I'm gonna say most of our listeners and me didn't know. So it's very hard to be emotionally engaged. Like do you remember when it was the Taddnington quiz? it would be like, o, who is? Is it Rod Delbert? Yeah and Michael Carrick. I mean, I will say when the bar cucumbers at P D Montaste is revealed It will be for almost everyone. The absolutely extraordinary climax Because you won't know who is Yeah I I grant you. It's an issue. It started now. we can't end it. That's not we're in it for life. We've got time. This person might go on to great things. They've had success. They could go somewhere in the field that they happen to be in. Oh, so they're young then. they're still going sayld listeners, he did seem to imply that there though. So let's go to school on that. Great This comes from Barry in Sydney, Max David, producer of all podcasts Michael Jents. I take in more of your content than would be deem normal F foot weekly quQickly Kevin,arenting Hell ceter. eighteen months ago my wife and I finished a renovation on our home in Sydney. As you imagine, I have approximately two thousand six hundred forty three photos, videos of my work on the phone While lying on the floor of my youngest daughter's bedroom, due to her being sick, I had ideided to edit all the pictures and videos together in a movie While listening to you uncover the Day of Shane Daniel Burn, he mentioned the tool used that floor slash carpet fitters used to knee carpet into position at thirty one minutes What random pointless photo of the two thousand six hundred forty three of my camera roll shouldould I be looking at that exact moment? Yes carpet tool. This is proof that this partod is the center of the universe. I could have done so any day in the past eighteen months and I could have been looking at any photo. For context, the days leading up to the carpet men coming, I'd been at a friend's barbecue and his wife had mentioned she really liked the skills carpet fitters possess with said tool and wanted to see them in action. So I'd seent her the photo to see if she wanted to watch them Thanks Barry in Sydney for the past twelve years, formerly London. shhout out to Phil who willll be listening and loves the pod. It wasn't his wife. PS Countriryess game version two needs to end. I'm a quiz fan, but this is too far. Well We don't need that sort of negativity, Barry. Yes I thought for a second did it come up in, you know, your phone does memories were generally and just shows highlights of failed relationships from your life with Woke up this morning like. Well here's with his two thousand three hundred home renovation photos. It's just gonna to be these insane montages Emily wrright St, David Maxson Mars, I love the pod. It's my easy listen on the way home from work when I need to laugh after a long twelve hour shift as a nurse. Have had many giggles over the last few weeks of the pod and talailes of items stuck up the bum in my twenty four years as an emergency nurse. I've seen many an item accidentally fallen onto, accidentally stuck, etcetera. Your pod got me thinking, about what is the most memorable and bizarre Cpet straightening device. That would be incredible now Now very early in my career, I encountered a young man who was very distressed about the item he'd lost up there as he described it and was having so much difficulty retrieving said item that he had to seek medical assistance. It transpired, he had ten thousand dollars of rolled fifty dollars notes in a plastic bag so far up that he couldn't get out himself. afterfter painful extraction, he was relieved to be reunited with his money. When asked why he'd inserted the money, his answer was plainly I want it at the casino, I didn't want it to get stolen. This made some sense because I'm not sure there are too many thieves that would want to retrieve any sort of loot from a slippery bag up someone's bum However, none of us could quite work out how he actually managed to get the money there and so far up it could not be easily retrieved. Keep up the great work lads in. Emily, thanks Emily. Emily, do you get a finder's fee as it's known? Do you get a ten percent? That's two hundred notes. That's a sizable wedge of them up there I would justd say I've absolutely never put any money up my bottom. So currently at nught pounds. but if we could start a running total, we're at ten thousand dollars. Yeah. So let's see. like it's a different totalizer to comic relief, isn't it Anyway, we left you last week with the Montenegro teas. So let's play they're just normal countountries redux And no one and only Tree could I be I Low one and down lay. Where in the world could our listeners be go over to produ a will because we obviously have the Montenegro teas. if you remember last week, guuest was Montenegro, but nobody knew if anyone was listening in Montenegro. So we are left not knowing if anyone was listening in Montenegro. but that's a great vehicle to keep people listening to these kind of things. Yeah apparently searches on Google for Montenegro been X five hundred in the last week. people just suddenly getting interested in this beautiful part of the world. Wellthough there was a message, I think on the Rdit page from Plastic O Noband, who says sureurely I'm not the only person listening to this in Montenegro, which does perhaps take away So that does maybe take the edge off whereether the Montenegro is country. But hey let's find out. willill is Montenegro a normal country how many listenens in Montenego? four hundred and eighty three. Oh my God. We're enormous. Huge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go. Northern Mariana Islands, Las Sutu, Malawi, Surinam, South Sudan, Sath Terman, Princeci of Pal Lichstein, Montenegro. Here we go with today's guest. Stacy Kay says, Hi Max DOD and Michael. loveove you crazy pod and I listen on my one and a half hour commute to work. My guests for their just normal countries reductx I only learned at this country last year. I'm not proud of my lack of geographical knowledge. My guess is Guyana So producer will is Guyana a normal country. A, how many distons in Guyana ninety nine. Wh! one away from the big hundred. How will we celebrate? It's so exciting. A century in Guyana must be by now. We must be raising our bat to the pavilion in Guyana. Anyway, Kirdle II coming soon. But David, I have a question for you. Oh yeah. What time did you wake up yesterday? sixix AM. Okay. I'd only been up two hours and it is entirely due to We need a blackout blind in this place. Okay. I had four drinks the night before, which usually that would be fine. but I think that is combined with the sunrise coming in Because we may not be here forever, I don't know if I in the house or just because you realize you may not be immortal In the house. Okay I consider maybe adapting the current blind using gaffa tape. Okay. now Helen Copter doesn't love this because six AM. Yeah, it's going to look insane. It's going to look like we're trying to make a drug lab or something in there. But also like Gaffaape isn't quiet. I mean, is she awake too? Oh, sorry. No, no, no, no. this is I'm just thinking about this as I lie there in bed I listen to an episode of What did you Do Yesterday Oh yeah. I just sometimes I like to check back in with those guys. They're just familiar friends, you know? I sometimes think, you know, it's an escape Yeah, from from the mundality of everyday life. Which episode you listened to? the latest Mayhem. Yeah, I listened to last week. Okay. W we good on it? Yeah, we were very good. Oh great. I really enjoyed your day. It was a classic Max day with all of the various things going to cafes called, you know, helping handand and big onion or whatever you have sixteen avocado toasts over the course of the day, but its I just feel like I know where we are. I loved it. So well done us. helelicopter eventually stirs and she has a dental appointment Just to check up, but she says, I better not eat breakfast. A good idea. Like you have to floss thirty times, brush your teeth one hundred times just to give the impression that you've been doing that for the last year. Yeah, But then she says, I will have a coffee. and I would have thought the coffee would be more of a ruiner for the dentist Do any dentists listen to this I would imagine you don't want you wouldn't want people to eat like a blackjack sort of literally eat a bullet before the But they must be so conditioned to bad breath because they're right in there. Yeah, they That's wild that they have to just put up with that. But no, h on, she's not saying bad breath. She's more worried about going with peanut butter in interosis Helen as she's called. So I go in to make coffee then. And then sure while we're at it, I'll make myself a delicious bit of bread with peanut butter and banana on it. It really sets you up for the day. I bring it in and then Helen just eats it. So the whole thing was a lie Exciting. We've moved into a new place. Boy was it complicated to get a parking disk? how much say this? I had to submit two utility bill or like a utility bill, a phone bill. And then have my car insurance changed to this address. Yeah It was like the movie green card. It's that complicated. It's like impossible to get one. Yeah, it was like, what's the one with choururing trying to break the enigma code? It was like that one, something game or whatever. Yeahah, imitation game, was it Yeah, but what's this in the post Kudonk hits the ground. I know. I can even tell from the quality of the Kadunk It's the new parking disc. You bloody done it David. and in fairness, well done. Dublin City parking. they were very efficient with the whole system. And I'm pleased it's, you know, it's not an e disc. You've got it. you can hold it with your hand and stick it on the car. That's all we reform voters while N on a disk, you could barely pick it up. It was made of less It would haveal the fuel efficiency of your car just to have it there. They were great days. Also side note, I've learned in order to send these documents was a side note from the parking disk. You'd hope the parking disk would really be a side note to anything. but hereere we go. I've used for the first time the scam function on My phone because they wanted these documents emailed in and I have a scanner at the back that's quite an annoying thing because every time you plug it into your laptop, the laptop is like who is that? What is this? Yeah Oas now your phone on files Yeah just go into the files section and there is a scan And it fully just scans it the exact same. What about Oh That's good. Okay. So news Helencopter goes to work There's a house that we sort of like. All right. You know, I'm trying to be cool here because I don't want other bidders or the estate agent who are no doubt listening to this. Of course. We sort of like it Yeah. So Gavin, the engineer. It's an old house. So there's obviously a fear that the roof is haunted And you know what I mean? M of anthrax. Yeah And there's a bunyip living in the bushes in the backyarden Yeah. so I get Gavin, the engineer and he and I go round us And he's taking photos with his sidekick of problematic things and I ask various questions. Is his sidekick? Is it Lan a Dck? they all stand like the same way? or is his sidekick doesn't really say much, but like occasionally delivers a killer line. What's the relationship? They've come as a pair because we have looked at a few houses. The sidekick is you know, if you're a surveyor looking at a house, you're not walking into a room and just getting the vibe of the room. You're immediately zeroing in on the corners. You're looking at where Damp could rise. You're putting a snooker ball and if it rolls at two hundred miles an hour from one end to the other, you know it's not exactly. You've got a stimp meter, the thing they use in golf to check the speed of the greens. Exactly. He actually has a device which measures the dampness in a wall that you hold into it This is an old house. so it's the reason I like Gavin is because he's used to dealing with Victorian houses where everything is a bit wonky. Whereas I feel a fresh college graduate would be like, o my goodness, this whole house could fall down at any minute. whereereas Gabavin's being around the block. Yeah Okay, got it. Okay. And you know, my main question, when I walk into any room, could I record an episode of what did you do yesterday and here surrounded by does it have eighteen Bike hooks Yeah, that was the sign. That's how they're trying to sucker me into buying for sure I say, yeah, every room I go into, I crouch down in the ground and I say, and my name is David O'dari then go, Oh God, who cares what country has had wordless ye I then go to the park. with my So my nephew is in his mid thirties.. So we're very close. So I don't know what is that? is he my grand nepw? grand nephew? I don't know. So there's my nephew and what is my nephew's son? We go to the park And he's one and a half and he is great. So we go to quite a dangerous park as regards those slides and stuff. He immediately goes straight. There's a small kid section and he's not having that. Yeah, of course not. straight to the big kids section trying to walk up the slide, you know, the classic stuff like that. All the stuff. And there's always one with every one of those things, it's designed there's one sheer drop of about ten feet. Yeah. That seems unnecessary, you know, because Willie's the same. He's up the top and you're like ducking from one to the other guy. just Don't have that bit. Yeah, but apparently all designed with a bit of jeopardy because you know, that's how kids learn rather than going straight to Parkour or free climbing building in Malaysia that's just glass. you know, this is a good way of doing it. Max, one part is there's a fireman's pole There's like a six foot drop and a fireman's pole and like He's one and a half. He doesn't even know what a fireman is. neverever mind a fireman' pole. He would just be like, why didn't they just have stairs? I don't know. They're in a rudush.. They have a pole. That's what this is. So we have a good time. I get them to climb up the back of the slide as opposed to walking up the slide But then it's a dry morning, but I think it had rained overnight and maybe it's because it might be something to do with whatever trousers he's wearing. When eventually I get him to the top of the slide. I'm like, here we go. It's a big drop. He just fails to slide. Yeah, he's going so slowly down. I'm thinking this is going to be one of the highlights of your life so far is shooting down the big kids slide. and instead he goes down at half of one mile an hour. It's shit H's shit and sometimes they go down if they do go down fast, one of their feet gets stuck and then they twizzle around and they louad on their face And there's a sort of age where you're just not sure if you let them go if they will just go down a slide like you go down a slide Yeah or knock themselves out. That's a moment of jeopardy for everyone involved. We have a great time. It's a cool park where there's some abandoned footballs in the park. So we do a lot of that then too is he good because when he really loves kicking a ball' not that bothered So does this little guy, you thinking he's going to be knocking channel balls for Big Jack's army? I'm trying to read the tea leaves with Jimmy But I can't He likes it, but he's not averse to as he's dribbling just bending over and using his hands to keep it going. Yeah. I think it won, it's okay, th. What I need is A really shrill whistle and just absolutely blast it every time he does this. S a teac cup his head going You picked that one more time I then come home I'll make this bit quick because I know it's your least favorite part of our podcast. It's writing a new show time of year. here we go. So I've I've done a trial gig the night before and I've recorded it So I've basically been just spraying out new material, loads of it. and I do these loosey goosey trial gigs. and the one before didn't go very well, but we did try out quite I've been spraying out material like an auto machine back. That's a reference to the last podcast I'm on an insane health kick at the moment. Oh my goodness. You know what I make for my lunch. had peanut butter and banana on toast. Not even on toast on a sort of flat breread. Okay for lunch a sweet potato. Is That it? With some onion and an egg on it. That's all. Oh that's so boring. That is so boring. I put some Mexican seasoning on it. I do try and liven it up a little bit And then also I ended up putting so much olive oil on it to cook it. I wonder if that's undermined any healthiness of it really. Deep the whole thing was deep fried in olive oil I tem for a whole sweet potato. Okay. I listened to the show There's some good gear. I hate to say this is a self indulgent day. You've already listened to a whole hour podcast of you. and now you're listening to a whole hour of a work in progress of you. I mean, I understand it's work. My procrastination is the bag that my novelty keyboard fits in. I bought in New York in two thousand five And it's a little worn away. So I then spend forty five minutes looking on the internet to see if you can still buy them Yeah, I find one, but it's in New York and Jamie' in New York The problem is if Jamie was coming back via Ireland, I'd be like, great. If I get them to post it from New York, two hundred and fifty dollars bag. I'm gonna to get hammered for import, but I'll get hammered for import if she was descended from Australia as well. Yeah, but then we're coming to London And we are doing a live show at the Vigistry that we keep forgetting to plug How's it selling? Whenednesday is it septtember the second or something? I haven't ask. September It's early in September. We're not plugging it well, but come along everybody. Eat the sweet potato. It's beautiful. Then I go for a cycle. I haven't done anything energetic yet today. All the classics the deer It's a warm day in Dublin. There was a funny headline in the newspaper the other day that I always think of sending toest traded friends, which is temperatures may hit twenty degrees this weekend. Like warning Dubliners. twenty degrees here is when literally it's people put on puffer jackets. Yeah like complaining Melbourne' this weather is terror honestly. Some people are saying we have to leave Melbourne because the weather's so bad and I look at them like they're completely mad I need water. I do need water. I've come out over jacketed and then because I'm trying to cycle at a reasonable pace, I can't do the thing where I tie the jacket around my waist because that'll ruin the aerodynamics of the situation. Sure, you'll become like a dragster stopping. So I end up then opening the shirt fully and opening the jacket fully and have them just flapping behind me because if you don't open them fully then they airbag up. You might take off. Yeah, but it doesn't look high performance just me with flapping jackets. No of course. Pe like this guy does not know how to ride a bike. And then I can't stop for water really because my bike is too fancy to leave outside the spar, this one that I've taken I haven't taken a ward with me. so I Come home. do a bit of tidying then And Who's this? It's Tom Ballard, Australian comedian. We have to get him on and he is in Dublin for some gigs at the moment. Yeah and he's struggling with jet lag. So me and Helen Copter have said, we'll take out for dinner. We'll keep you awake as long as we can A We go for a pint beforehand in a lively bar around the corner Cold powder browns. And so Dublin listeners will know it.'s a phenomenal bar from a Celtic supporting point of view There's a lot of Celtic stuff everywhere. There's rousing Irish ballad music playing as well as we now we're in there for six hundred and thirty, but then what's funny is On the big screen behind where you would expect to have like, you know, old grainy footage of the revolution in Ireland or something. they have an episode of Would I L Do you s It's just David Mitchell's giant push head in this incredible bar Tom Ballard is very entertained by this. I have ordered a sweatshirt online The day before has been delivered to rather than have it delivered here or I have it delivered to shop around the corner. You know, the way you're able to nom out Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah off And I walk past but forget to pick it up. So actually I've just picked it up before this. It's cool. It's a jumper with the rainbow stripes of the cycling world champion in the center of it over the boobs. It's one of those things where the cool people will know what I'm getting at when I wear it. You know what I mean? Got it. We meet the helelicopter for dinner in a new place that is like bar food and lodgings It's called the Libertine. It's really nice. It's a sort of small plates vibe. Lodgings des mean you can stay there too. It's not. Yeah, you can stay there too. Okay. I like it. It's sort of a throwback kind of idea. Like a hotel. It's not the hotel's not that throwback. But it's a pub with rooms The oldi hotel. Oh ye, okay, yeah, I see what you mean. As opposed to a hotel with a restaurant in it What's on your small plates? It's sort of smallly medium plates. We go shareise these on it. Yeah. We're conscious that we might under order. So obviously we massively overordder then. presumably you say, do you think that's enough for three of you? And they say, Well, how hungry are you But just like a normal meal for three mightnds hging. got to be absutely five and then you've got Six tons of beetry birrani Yeah, it's delicious and actually We went there and then this morning it got a very favorable review in the newspaper. so we're onto a good thing. You ahead of the game. Yeah, by a day. Exactly. ye, cllassic Odahherardy helelencopter. We are sort of aware towards the end of the meal that we're slightly keeping him awake because his head is in a dish C becausecause you would be saying something and then you would look at him And just he's slightly removed like In normal times, it might be if you mentioned a friend who'd passed away and the person was just having a moment. you know what I mean? Yeah Wh they're just sort of away with their thoughts a little bit. But in fact, I haven't been referring to sad things I trying to keep them out away. I know that feeling, It's just such a feeling of I mean, I eat bullets right now.'s you know I'm not saying I'm struggling to stay awake, David, but Oh God. Great We finish the meal with Nggrron'. A, it's a class. A nice. Yeah, it's a lovely. I say nice, I don't know they're too strong for me, but it feels nice. They do have the large cubed ice in them I think that might be something If we get a new house, it'd be cool to get a new ice tray. I know you can put an ice tray out in the old house, but the large square ice cube, do you know what I'm talking about here? Like it's big. What do you mean? So you're gonna to get a house big enough for a big freezer to put a big ice tray that has big squares of ice. But these ice cubes are the size of a small Rubik's cube So the no I understand the point you're making, but that is that's a decadent ice tray for a home. Yeah That That's our podcast is doing well, right? And we all said, we have hopes and dreams. and mine was just one more toilet for you know, a family of four. I yours was a big Rubiks trized Yeah We stroll home And we get back Here, say good night to Tom Ballard and the report has arrived for the house where he's given us his verdict. It's a fifty eight page report. Now you just want yes or no, Gavin. A lot of that is photographs. But the thing is it's all the bad things is what the photos are. Yeah. Generally the gist is Easy to fix. donon't worry about this. You get this and hows of this age. I actually love this. You know, it's a proper engineering report, but there is a positivity vibe coming through it. Okay. And so that's something to mull over. you go let's add to basket There's a few more complications with buying houses that just add to basket. Isn't it annoying though? Like you see one on Instagram, you can't quite afford, but you just go click, add to basket. You know, do you want to Apple pay or do you want to insert your credit card? name and address, click add to basket. Ready in two weeks. When it arrives, you've bought two, you've clicked the thing twice and they're right beside each other. You're like, o God we're gonna have Send one of these back there. So do you have any other questions for me, Max Well I havely have a question from Gypsum about cheese Yeah. I'll deal with that. I mean, it's still I'm the keeper of this quiz. Yeah because you notice it's the best quiz we do whereereas all of yours are utter chaos. This is I no no. I still think John so exited, you know, we are as every day goes down We're day closer to me being back in Teddington and Who knows what that could mean ook tonight with Pet de Mones with Oxford redus normal countries Yeah with this. Yeah. Also I do like Listeners, what other things could Andre Agassy? Yeah, but that's not a quiz. That's not a quiz. Yeah, I know, but it's a nice bit of feedback. I know know, I'm all in for correspondence. that in many ways, you could argue the correspondence is better than the quiz. You know generally That's more fun. We put that at the top It's not quiz But you're right I'm not gonna engineer seeing a famous person in Tellington. No. But wouldn't it be fun if I did? Is it all I'm saying? Yes. I will have my eyes peeled. I will liter have my eyes absolutely peeled. And if the Peter Monte' quiz has taught us anything, you can really stretch the idea of a famous person as well This is J Hi team, what did you do yesterday? As we enter the cheese end game, I'm finally ready to submit my guesss. I've never got a single guest correct on any version of this quiz, so the chances of this being correct is statistically almost impossible. That being said, you miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take.. And it's far more likely I might fluke a last minute taap in than score five in one game. If I'm correct, please don't send any cheese based prize I'm lactose intolerant. Thanks. Gypsum. Here we go. Bree Bing, bing, bing Carmazan All right He Philly Big we wing Cashell Blue.
