Some might say too many. I have one already. I don't have any ' 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'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? Nothing 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 Rushon, and I'm David O'Doherery. Welcome. what did you do yesterday Hello and welcome to Midwek Mayhem from the people that bring you what did do yesterday. My name is Max Rushian, alongside me, David O'doherty, welcome, David. What I am excited to hear from this one is if you've added any more enemies to your list. Wow, cururrently consisting locksmiths and lollipop men and women. I stand by them both. The two scourges of society did make me laugh a lot when he said, you know, it's like Richard Little John's run out of people to hate. Yeah. Yes. Nike and now the lollipop men, you know We'll find out we'll find out in the course of the day now. A lot of reaction to the Ben Elton episode. What an app. My cousin Stuart. you remember at the top of the show, I said Ben Elton looks like my cousin Start. My cousin Stewart sent me a message saying nineteen eighty seven, eighty eight, a friend made me the official I'm not Ben Elton card, which I carried around with me at all times. I was stopped everywhere and asked if I was Ben Elton. I was right to say that Cousin Stewart looks like Ben E It would be difficult if your cousin was on the train and found a double seat and thereby lived up to Bet Elton's most famous comedy routine Yeah. and Santics to George Michael, of course. Oh Mike. a few things. Now to be honest, sometimes we record these. I did listen back to that one when it came out And what's really stayed with mebs Emma Thompson gives him fitness advice that he's working out too hard. So that's when he gets into working out every second day and then Bill Bailey gives him advice on Panking. Maybe these are not the best people, but I do love that they are the people. Well, on the five minute plank, A says to really immerse myself in the episode, I planked for the durirectation of it Not looking forward to side planking for the entirety of the Bill Bailey one when that happens. And Pat has made the point. He said, What time did you wake up yesterday? Bar Eelton? I mean, I wouldn't know exactly. On the five minute plank he then says with the greatest respect to Ben from that point on all his stats are questionable David Squres, our friend, the Guardian Cartoon, said, I tried to recreate the Ben Elton experience by taking my wife a cup of tea in bed this morning and she immediately became suspicious. What have you done? She said Also ending an episode with dinner with Richard Curtis. Yeah. You won't say we have recorded a really nice episode since then But I had it in my head that maybe this person was going to go for a big old celeb dinner that it's hard to know where to go after Richard Curtis. Yeah, Stewartays incredible this podcast has gone from Nish Kumar's gastric issues to that dinner Daisy says my favorite animal is Max getting irritated by guests talking generally about their life rather than the specifics of yesterday. Sometimes you have to keep these people on the straight and narrow, David The thing is, right, the reason I started this is because I don't believe anyone's life is interesting. And I certainly don't hold famous people on a different level to anyone else. But I wonder if we get to a level of guest Let's say who's the most famous person in the world? I don't know Barric Elon Musk. Elon whereere we get Elon Musk on go sa us Elon Musk yesterday. drink. We'd have to say yes, wouldn't we? We'd have to say yes. I really love the idea of Elon, you know, and us going on a flight of fancy with Elon Musk when he talks about, I don't know, which one of his children he's ignored twoo hours or whatever. Or it would be like what time do you get up atddie doesn't use our clock You know, he is different. He got up at Teta Beta alpha seven sixty Bing bong poo past cat. you like you know, come on, give me strength here, mate. But even then I'm just there's no level even if we got King Charles IId on and he was like doorbly I get up So I'd be like Charles Seriously It's only yesterday we care about. There is no level. I'm saying with Ben Elton. It was I felt I was within my rights to keep him to the brief. Yeah, I think it's important. I do feel though. When we have people on and this is not a complaint, not everyone should have listened to our podcast. Ben was like, what is this? And I felt we shouldn't open it with you just yelling at him going like specifically what time. Now he did kind of get into it And we had the beautiful ending then. It was quite an emotional ending with him preparing his sleeping chair. Oh so sweet. It's an inflatable neck pillow and everything. But at the start, I needed to be good cup and then you can absolutely Te bastard cop. Jim says Ben Elton needs to stay away from Morrisons's. They do a Belgian bun that's split in two with cream in the middle. absolutely fucking mind blowing. emoji of head exploding And Russell says, I can't believe DOD used the phrase with the greatest of respect, and Max held it together. because it is a phrase you use a lot David And now really, whenever you say, regardless of the guest, you know, we've got Elon there and you say with the greater respect and I should just yell get in my ass I don't understand They don't understand it's their problem Fixers writes, whyy has Max not realized he has a three noun name The largest possible amount, rush a feeling of exhilaration den where foxes sleep. Oh It was this staring at Say in the face? It's no John Claude van Dahm. Fantastic stle replied with day, vid Oe, Otter T. David. o of it. It iss tenuous. Well, I would even, hang on. we go day, video. Oh yeah. so like cassette or whatever Yeah Maybe daughter Dave Vid Daughter, daughter, T. Yeah know that. I've got before of that as well. Georgie Bingham, who used to work at Talks Sport with me. She enjoyed the postcode game. I mean it hasn't Iot a lot of traction, I'll do that. No one else has sent us all their postcodes. She writes thirty two addresses since I was born. Am I the winner? Thanks for literally taking up half an hour of my brain space counting when I could have been thinking about exciting or interesting things But on the Reddit page postcode discussion gone to an excellent discussion of whether people knew where we lived. And it wonders inadvertently or advertently if I gave away my parents postcode and my own one here And then people worked out where you lived because you put your house up to sell it. Wow. Then a couple of people went to look online at your house and then one person said, I did feel a bit dirty. And then it culminated Reddit is I don't really know Reddit. but the only way I place I know is this. it culminated with Wardy saying, just what Max and David need, the obsessed groupies rocking up in big bathars of their own c Oh God. Also, Georgie, reach out to me if Maxs ever gaphotyped d you to a chair. while working at Talksport. Are there any any other horrific tales of Max throw me a bone I was sort of more emotionally intelligent by that time, I would say. Also funny about the Reddit page is on the very rare occasions somebody posts a compliment about me, the next reply is always hi max because they know that I do occasionally look at it Bumbley's been in touch. I saw Carrot Man on Brunswick Street with Carrot and leg brace. Get well soon, Carrot Man. So that's good news. isn't it? Yeah We were there all of us. you me, the listeners were there the moment that he did his ACL. Yeah. And there is obviously a bit like women's football There is a real fear that a lot of people holding giant carrots are doing their ACLs at the moment. Is it a problem endemic in the trade of carrying, actually all forms of giant vegetable. And do we need to look into that further? The algorithm serve me up an interview with carrot man. Okay. He's just trying to bring good vibes. That's his thing. We need more people like that. They're holding a big carrot in an unexpected place. Yeah. Do we need more people like that? Because if there were more, it would take away what makes caraman special, I guess. You know, if every other person was just holding a giant vegetable. Yeah. It would become Passeill, wouldn't it? You think then there's a chance that it would kick off between the different people. Between him and mange too, lady would You know where I'm gonna shove that asparagus? Caravan. No, what about the good vibes On Andre Agassi advertising Banjoes, someomebody messaged you, I forget the name with Andre Bluegrass aggussy. Bluegrass Agussy is good. Bluegrassy. Yeah, I mean that that really works for me Harry says for weeks, I believe the man advertising pants for Little was Brendon Shearin, host of the classic mid two thousand reality show, Coach T trip, youre not a tennis player. Thank you for the Enlightenment. Everything is showiz. Love you, please do another London show. Oh well, we might do a London. There's a possibility, Dave, isn't there? W On this, we are almost sold out in Dublin in September Look, another flaw of having Andrey Agassy advertiseed sauceps. Yeah. is did another O the ad, I've seen, it doesn't mention who he is It's just Bald man holding a saucebt like a tennis racket. So it could be Duncan Goodyew, and's there's no relevance there. Or Moby? Yeah, okay. I mean this I could play this game. Aillio Lombardo. Where are you going next? But there's no relevance. Moby might as well advertise pans. a famous vegan. He could use it for cooking veg You know what I mean? There's no, you never saw aggassy at halfftime or a change of evs, whatever. making an omelet Exactly, yes. I isn't it presumed that people know, apart from our previous correspondent, people know Andra Agassy is. That would be the understanding. Yes, Max, but it's difficult when in your pomp, you had that amazing cockatoo blonde hair. and now you do just look like You know, a fit ball bloke in his sixties. No, It's a good point. you should let L know and say, listen, can we will happily advertise all the pans you want. We are here. We will charge, maybe I should talk to you first off air but Between us, we will take half the money that Agassy is getting from Middle to advertise sour frrankly, David I would be the face of little Sucemans for nothing, just for the joy of being the face of Are you with me? Well, I have a more relevant thing that we could be the face of There've been a lot of discussion on this podcast in recent weeks. People say we aren't tackling the big issues, but we have been talking about the thing that hangs from your washing line that you can put socks and underpants on. correct to some as this octopus And I decided we need one of those for this place right now. All right I went to my local beloved Things for two your Oopus outlets. S help I wonder if this octopus is proprietary IKA They didn't have a suctopus. They instead had a sort of a jellyfish is what I would compare it to. whereby it's just an oval rugby ball shaped thing that you dangle the socks and uies down from it like tentacles. Right. So what you're saying is it has to be a sea animal. We could have a whole selection of sea animals. What's a sea animal Oh sea, sorry, yes. A starfish. I thought you meant a animal. Sorry Bars, work, can you pick that out? starfish would be quite good, right? Starfish. Dould Ikea have the IP on octopus? Yes. You can't have the IP on an octopus. Octopuses are just there, aren't they? Yeah That's true. Who's got the IP on a raccoon? You can't have that. That's not acceptable. It couldn't be spider because so many people are scared of them. It'd be a bad idea for to launch small laundry based product to the listeners, we'll put this out there What shape should Max and my smalls drying equipment be and what animals should it be named after? Look, we don't have merch yet And like the idea of merch, we want to make millions, but I think that's a great idea. The Max and DOD Starfish sock and pant holder He Yeah It's really good. I think they would fly off the shelves. Sue Bishop has a guest for the David Squires quiz. Oh, thank the Lord quite remember David Squire's friend M someone somewhere in Dublin, I think. In Dublin. that's it. His dad was an Oxford fan Sue Bishop writes, Is it Michael Stragon? What are we doing? Love the podcast. Listen from the very beginning in it for L. That's the thing. We can do what we want because people are in it for life. I don't actually know the answer. I think Marsbar know the answer. So presumeably if it was Mars Bar is here, Marsar is it Mcain Strac? Okay R Mars bar So I was having a little think about this. because it is Ireland I would say Ireland's two most famous Oxford United players are Ray Houghton and John Aldridge. Yeah they are. So could it be Ray Houghton's son, Marresborough. I'm just gonna say this quiz will outlive the human race Exactly. Do you know what? I've never been more delighted My whole life. Nobody is ever going together. I'm going say one clue, Matt, you can choose whether this is redacted or not. Right. But in the news recently, there was a news article about this person's dad and I thought, maybe, just maybe somebody who's a fan of the show is going to read that and go and put the pieces together. So who did David Squire's friend meet personers who had a famous dad. It was someone who had a famous dad. If they're guessing the person, that person is a civilian and they're never ever unless that person emails in, nobody's guessing them. but this person has a famous dad That dad was also in the news recently for reasons. If I give you the reason, then it's going to really narrow it and I think Max won't like that. No no, you can't give the reason. Is it Baron Trump? No, it's not Baron Trump. Okay. I'm really so invested in the David Squres quiz. And if veners are annoyed by it, I'm in the same boat as you. I don't know the answer, but I'm just enjoying the quizzing. So that's what you should all be doing So you saw someone in Pid de Monte? Yes, The Ped de Monte quiz in whatever suburb of Melbourne that is, fits right North. Last week, you absolutely the cat out of the bag though, you said this is someone who has had success some success, but you said it in a sort of slightly wistful way and hopefully a lot more success to come, like that there' Something's about to happen for them. I didn't give anything away. Head an notion, Max Danny Minogue, Kylie's sister It's not Danny Minogue. And Jackie in Ccka two, Victoria says, I'm a day one listener to what did you do yesterday? I'd first like to thank you for keeping me company on many dog walks and for all the la. I apologize. if I've missed some clues about who Max saw at Peter Montte you haven't. It won't surprise you to know. You haven't. Each time Max mentions the story, I get distracted as I reminisce about living in Cobberg and shopping at Peter Monte's on Bell Street in the mid two thousands. This is a different Peter Monte's to be clear. He's on Saint George's Road This Peter Mos. My guess is the actor Kim Valentine, who's best known for praying Libby Kennedy on neighbors. Thanks for reading Keep up the great work It's not Kim Valentine, but I do have a huge clue. This could blow this quiz aart. Oh yeah G on, I'll write it down. For reasons that I cannot explain This person, the person who I stood next to buying cucumbers at Peter Monte's used to give lifts on a regular basis. twow The Australian Olympic Takwondo Osteopath two thousand seven two thousand eight. In the early nineties, my friend Daveo Colossima. This person used to give them lifts Certainly once, if not twice a week on a regular basis. And he said that I understated This person's fame They are still in touch but not regular. Okay I can't give any more clues than that. That blows the case wide open Okay, great. Tw quizzes down. Two quizzes down. I know you don't like doing that many quizzes concurrently, but I think it's time to play they're just normal countries I no one and don l country could I be? I am the one and only Where in the world could our listeners be Previous guest is Northern Mariana isllands are Sutu,alai, Suranam, South Sudan, Southaan, Principal Isishide, Montenegro, Guyana So if you remember the Montenegro tease, which was less of a tease than we thought it was. Rich says He's very straight to the point. Dear Max and DJ DOD May please guess Kurasa is the just a normal country. Keep on keeping on, Rich Yeah It's nice when you have a big nice email that says how much you love us and some sort of funny theme that's the center of the universe. But you know, really just to the point. I've been struck by how many of the guestes in this have had quite a lot of listens in these places. It's a global brand. four hundred and ninety nine listens in Montenegro. Yeah come on.. It's pretty big. It may be the biggest podcast in Montenegro. I don't know. Anway, M's b is Curaao normal country . I really thought he was reaching for the ding ding ding. How many listeners has Kuraao had? At the time of this quiz, the redux, it had had two listens Oh Wow. Thank you to the two people in Curacao and I hope you're still with us. We could do a gig in Curacao in a mini. Yeah, we could presumably they're different people. We'd have space for one more in a mini someone sit in the middle who didn't know what the podcast was. was that what's going on here? I'm thinking though, if it's only had two listens, the two people gave it a go but they didn't love it. So it's a tough gig. and also because it's probably a two door mini They are trapped in the back because we'd be doing the podcast in the front. Are we stationia? whereere are we going seeing the sights of Kurasa. Yeah we're the guided tour of Kurasao while doing the podcast. Yeah. A person sitting in the middle is the famous guest who's yesterday we're gonna we need that as well, don't we So you know Eis James is second, Whan Curisso speaking to one there's three people on stage and two in the audience I have a question for you, Max. Yeah, what is it? Last week on the podcast, you counted up individually the number of days that you had been minding two children on your own And then I do know from correspondence in the week those days kept going because they kept going. Your wife had to stay in New York. She had ear infection. I mean a lot of people said, Ohh, that's what they call it. So it is worth saying on the Friday it was the middle of the n Yeah to me. Friday into Saturday, I think, and Jamie was like, I feel really sick. My ears are blocked and I was like, o Yeah. And I was like, Don't fly. If you're not well, don't fly, And then she was sick. I was, Oh God Then I was buying travel insurance at three in the morning going fuck, this is fuck. It think this is gonna cover it. Pree existing infected ear infections. And also the fact that she rang you from the bathrooms in studio fifty four. you could hear disco music My ears are blocked. I can't come home. And I sort of timed my run die You know, I was going to meet her at the airport on Sunday She lands at eight hundred twenty and I was going I'd time my run to be there and then I could just find a small corner. Maybe I said this to you last week, but I been like a nature documentary where Attenburough says and the male looks after the young female returns and he finds a dark place curls up and dies. and I was ready to do that and then And then on Friday, she was like, I've been to the doctor. now it's like two AM for me and I know Willie's waking up at four and she's like, I've been to the doctor. I can't fly for three days. And I must admit, I think the word is recalibrate. I had to do a had a lot of recalibrating. a real deep breath and go, this is okay What was interesting was it was exactly the time where Totland might have got relegated and I just could not have given a shit. I was like, I don't care because just need Jamie to be home. So that was sort of Friday into Tuesday. So if the question you're asking me is what time did I wake up yesterday? Yes. If I'm to presume that It's five AM and Willie wakes up I stay in bed for the first time in twelve days. I do say to Jamie, do you want me to go out because she's jet lagged and has an ear infection and is on like five different antibiotics Yeah And I am saying it and I genuinely mean it, but at the same time I'm not really like springing up M getet out of bed Jamie get us up I don't sleep, I just lie there notot having to get up feels like levitating. It's may it's five o'clock and maybe I should be sleeping but I can't sleep because The exhilaration of not having to get up is amazing. and I just wonder maybe Jamie will let me lie here forever. Maybe I can just lie here for the rest of my life. And at six AM Jamie yells at me to get up. Yeah. Well that's fair F. She can't hear anything. So that is awkward through the house when I say something, but she can't hear me And then she says, I can't hear you. and so you shout and she still can't hear you. And it's sort of a bit like a sitc. Yeah. So anyway, we're in the house. Ian's in the bath. He's got a new bath toy. I'm having a Lemb sip. What's he got? What's his bath toy? A sort of submarine Oh it's a little string you pull out and a propeller goes round. so it' everyone's winning They're bleeaker than you think. Submarines growing up played a larger role in my life than they do now, to be honest I hadn't seen Das Boot then and heard of the sort of living in shit that you have to do in the submarine and knowing that Now, I wonder if I would have had so many in my bath. Yes, it's a good point. And see also caterpillars play a huge role in your life between the ages of about one and four. and then they really fall off They really just disappear out of trace withithout of trace for years, you don't think of caterpillars, you don't think of magnets, you don't think of batteries, and then suddenly they just come flooding back in I just feel If Ian's new submarine had you could put into the torpedo chute, say two crew members have had a fight and one has killed the other. You know the way really dark stuff happens they put body into the torpedo chute and then fire it out and write up a report to say that this person died of an illness, you know, stuff like that. I feel all more realistic. If in this toy it actually had two nuclear warheads. Yeah, exactly. And you could accidentally wipe out istan Ian's in the bath plotting the coordinates and saying, could you I need you to press the red button at the same time as me? And we can actually launch a depth charge into you know, the bath at number sixteen. you're right. I think it's good in a way that they've kept toy submarines slightly away from the reality of submarines.'s a really good point. So I'm having a LEM sit because the last three days I've started to get deficient in everything. My body is shutting down. Ian is in the bath and Willie is helping Ian in the bath, but it's not really a meeting of minds. So I think it's fair to say. Right ye. Willie gets very wet that he's dressed, so then we have to sort all that up but that's fine We're doing a puzzle of the planets As we've gotten into Ian is now into space Qestion G great way, Yes, David. Have you found the missing pieces from the Mr. Chicken goes to Australia puzzle. Well, we found one of them, I found one of them under the day bed and the other one Sophie has made a perfect replacement of the tomato. So it's okay. Sophie. Thank you to my friend Matt, who sent me a picture of a puzzle piece day which said is this the missing edge piece found in Falmus It's an ed piece, not sure it's an apple or tomato. It was a corner piece so I had to admonish Matt But thank you, Ted. If anyone else finds the puzzle piece, do let me know. Anyway, the picture of Plets is a picture that he drew that Jamie had turned into a painting, but it's into a puzzle, rather. So it's quite difficult because there's lots of browns and blues. So we're doing that one. Yeah. He's learned a song about the dwarf planets.. There are five dwarf planets in the solar system We revolve around the sun Pluto is a dwarf planet. that's in the Kayder belelt, along with three others Aries Hamai and Mkey Monkey, as he calls it, I think it's called Makkey Mkey. Anyway. One of the planets goes, I'm Mkey Mkey. I have no atmosphere I was discovered in two thousand five. I still feel really sorry for this. that has no atmosphere. That's such a sad thing for a planet. There's quite a lot going on in space. is my review of what I've learned in the last month or so. But hang on, is Pluto back in as a planet? Be Pluto was so Markkey Marky was discovered in two thousand five and that is one of the reasons Pluto lost its status and as the song goes, so naturally we do not jive because Pluto is annoyed with Marquy Mary for being discovered. It's not Marky Mar being discovered and people realizing actually Pluto isn't really a planet. There's loads of them. like this fire. Yeah, ye. Ian has some porridge. We're throwing ping pong board around the house. Good stuff. We're going to drop the in of Kinda. We all get the tram He's on his balance bike, It's free transport in Melbourne still. It's really exciting now to find your little Micy card. Yeah. We drop Ian off and then me Jimmy and Willie walk to a cafe called Blonde for a coffee. I get a long black And I order the chili scramble, the chili sambell on the side because it's a bit too spicy. Oh right, ye I've ordered this before. I've made this order before with a hash brown. The lovely waitress even says Anna hasash brown. And then I say,, I'm so boringly predictable. And she goes,, no, it's fine, but in her mind, she's going, he's predictable. Anyway, the chili scramble comes back And there is chili sambal on the side, but it's also covered in chili sambal. You thought you wanted extra. This is the thing. so I thought of thought, I'll give it a go. So I have one small bite. Not enough to go, I've eaten all of this and send it back, but it's too spicy for me. Yeah. And it's the best part of twenty five dollars. So I'm like, well, I'd said, I'm really sorry I was on the side. And she said, A, you wanted it on the side, not an extra. And I'm like I felt gaslit because Obviously if I say can I have that on the side? I don't mean Can I have it on it? A on the side? don That's not what on the side means. Yeah. And I made, you know, I said like I'm sorry, I'm just so soft. I'm just a puny man. You can't take spice. Anyway, it was fine. I got my new one and I was delighted. I sent it back because it's maybe the best chewi scramble in Melbourne and that's a big shout. This reminds me of Helen Copter's friend Laura was recently out with the gals And the gals ordered four margaritas and Helen Copter's friend said, I'll have the spicy margarita. Oh personers came back to the table with five spicy margaritas. Oh no. And the gals were like, o no, we all wanted the reggo ones. And the server was just like, I'm so sorry Look, you just take these and made another four for the others. So Eelen's friend drank five spicy margaritas and unfortunately like couldn't remember where she lived I stay of bllonde I have another coffee. St strong got a flat white it's perfect. It's raining I get the tram home and we're doing a house aed. I kept the house so clean. And really I spent so much time and the day before Jamie got back, I hoored everything. I changed the sheets. I hoored under the duve of the. ose the deck, but with her eyes, I can tell that Jamie thinks the place is an absolute shitle. Hoovered under the Doo A listerers. Who elseorry, Iry in Ian's bed, I picked up the mattress to see if there were any toys. specifically, there is a glow in the dark solar system and we've lost the planets and they're quite small And I was hoping to find Venus or mercury under there. But anyway, it was a bit dusty, so I hoovered under the mattress. Anyway, you can tell she thinks of shit and I'm a bit annoyed that she's not respecting how much I've kept the place tight. I've just kept them alive. I just, you know all I want is praise for keeping my own children alive. And I understand it' my responsibility. I had this last night And it reflects poorly on me. but helelicopter was coming back She said she'd be back from work. She was working late. So I said I'll do a barbecue because the weather iss really nice here. We had a bunch of chicken thighs and then I made a sort of noodle salad type thing And she came back and went out into the garden and was just like, ooh, barbecue, cool. And then put on a sad history podcast in the kitchen. And I didn't say the words, I need you to be happier about this. but every part of my being I'd even say stuff like those coldals took a long time. I really have to light those colds a few hours ago really to make this Magical thing Barbecues there more effort than I remember, actually, Helen, are' they? So yeah, I'm occasionally dropping in things like, these sheets are dry. There is the clothes aren't drying on the line because it's cold now. And so we have a sort of issue of too much washing and the drying's not drying We're moving the clothes source in and out of the house and' the house is quite narrow. That's just a sort of backstory that never stops to dis day and Jamie is because the house she thinks is a bit dirty, she's now throwing everything out. She's on a mission. She's got back and she wants to audit the whole house. So chuck a lot of shit out and now we're off to Sververss. W he's eating a carrot, but he's too young to eat a carrot People occasionally on Reddit, M people on Reddit are worried that I left him in the bath for eight seconds on his own. Should be called social services. A lot of the threads are that So we take the carrot off him, not because I'm worried about what people say, on red it is like, you know, I just don't want him to choke in the car. He's very sad about losing his carrot. I popp to Aldi, good value in there. The dishwasher tablets, wow, they look just like finish, but they're not and they're like a quarter of the price. Yeah. There's only one till open and the man in front of me is buying the whole shop, but it's okay. In Aussie, Aldi is the center aisle as act of a thing Yeah, so I thought about buying a sort of gray tracksuit. and some mittens and then there were a few toys and I was like, I just don't need this, I don't need this today. Aldi in Ireland has Ireland USA twenty twenty six World Cup Mer anyone's looking for merge from a competition we didn't qualify for. I'd love some of that for the World Cup I'd love to wear that during our pods. That would be really great. So I go to Aldi and then I go back to Svers and I'm thinking, okay, Willie and Jamie are playing with the toys. so I Pick up six pairs of trousers and a couple of pairs of shorts to try on Because the light buying second hand closeed And you know, got you got to pick up a few because they're random aren't they? Is Saber is an op shop or is Yeah, yeah. Yeahes it's a second hand shop. So anyway, of them, the pair of shorts are just about okay and the trousers I like them. Okay, so we're going to get some trousers. And I walk out going, I want to keep there's a woman hanging herself up and I say, o, I want to keep these You know, can I give you these? And she says, she's hanging stuff up and she looks at me and she says, Well, you could hang them up to help me out. So I'm like I'm sort of a bit like, you didn't really need to be quite that passive aggressive. Well actually not even passive aggress, just aggressive about the situation. Yeah. I was just like, what do I do with these? You know, I'm like a bumbling middle aged man, you know So then I start hanging up and the t shirt, there's a couple of t shirts I didn't want, but the trousers are annoying because youve got to attach them with the little, you know the sort of bulldog clip so I'm doing all this. And then a woman who's in the next c of an old woman comes out and hands me four pieces of clothing to hang up because she thinks Im fucking right there. And I'm too polite to say, I don't fucking work here, give them to her. because she's already she's terrifying. So I just take those and I hang them up as well A good day. I love There was cherio all over the world. Yeah, yeah yeah Then I go and find Jamie and Willie and Willie's kicking a basketball around the whole place and that's quite fun. L's quite good at kicking a balls. so then there's a little party going around Madrid. Yeah five hundred grand a week. this is good. Ian is going to be an astronomer now, so I can't retire on his astronomy wage. We come home, new neighbourors are moving in next door. This is exciting purposeull take Willie out and hold him sort of standing at the street. and he likes standing on the street anyway. until she walks in with a box so I can say hello and introduce myself and she seems nice. Is she an oldie? Wh similar age? I mean probably younger than me, but they've got a four year old and you know, this could be good, I see. This could be good. I do my Jamie hates, you know s reccurrent joke that I've done on this street for five years, whenever someone new moves in or whatever is because everyone is so nice on this street that I sort of say, they're so nice that you're worried that they're going to invite you around for dinner and then eat you for dinner. And it always gets quite a good laugh. It's like I got. And James had just stop with that one. Interesting. It's a risky little joke Because I thought you were a joke was going to be something like we don't like strangers round here. It's lovely to meet you. Max is my name and this is Willie. No I go for the I think there might be murderers amongst us. Its good. But I need to stop that. Anyway, so Willie has an happen and I have one too, and I wake up. Jamie's gone out to get a coffee or something. so decide to try Ben Elton's five minute plank. I'm like, I'm in for it And also I film it Even though content is bullshit to put on Instagram because fuck it. I miss that. I managage a minute. And I do quite a lot of grunting, but that's day one. actually I need to do today. I'm meant to be doing it every day, David. What's a plank? Like I understand you lie rigid, but but so you're sort of in the You're in the press up position, I guess, but you're yourour fists are on the floor with your upper arms making a kind of triangle Imagine that's on the floor. so you hold up with your toes and the undersides of your arms. yeah it works the core quite well. I could do this for ages. I'd say I could do that for an hour All you're trying to do is stop your ar stipping then, are you? Yeah, you got to hold yourself up. your arms are going to hurt and your stomach will hurt interesterestingly. But like if you can do it for hours, good for you. Ben Allen does five minutes and I'm like, if Ben E Allen can do five minutes, I've got to be better shappe than Ben Ellen. Anyway, I do a minute and I post that Bizarrely, that sort of crap does better than anything. I really thought about posting. It's pretty upsetting. I have some Homers and Pitter. Jamie's trying to think of what to do tomorrow, I suggest six things and she doesn't like any of my ideas. so then I s I' up going say anything else and then she tells me off I taking it personally. Willie is up. We go to another o shop to drop off some other stuff and then I go to Cle's because we've forgotten to get oats, which is the only thing we really need to get from Aldi. So I get some oats and some ice cream and then I decide to get the flax seed, hemp seed, chia seed. Let's get fit this week. Yeah get home. Jamie goes to pick up Ian from Kinda on my disiscovery weekly Spotify and play a Tambouroine with Willie to Damn I wish I was your lover. B Sophie B Hawkins. Sophie B Hawkins. Yeah, that's great song, isn't it? So man, would you enjoy that? Howot an inappropriate sg You the neighbors look in as you and Willie scream. Damn, I wish I was your lover. You stare into the neighbors. Then Brim full of Ashher comes on and Ian runs in and says, I'll play music, but I don't like music with music on. It was quite difficult to sort of square that circle. so we turned the music off bath dinner, bed, you know, et ceteras, all that kind of stuff. They're having risotto for dinner like it's such a favorite. Willie eats his body weight. It's actually sort of terrifying. It becomes slightly psychopathic putting like mouthfuls of this stuff into his mouth and a lot of pesto. Like there's a limit of the amount of pesto any human can eat before your mouth gets claggy and Ian has surpassed willill he rather surpassed this. he's only one. Max, I find it curious though that you speak a lot on this podcast about making risato, but it's quite a complicated thing to make. As in you have to have the ladle And you're adding st reallyally? You just st a bit. Anyway, I think credit, Jamie has made this risotto. I very much regressed in this day to secondary carer. It is worth pointing out. We get into bed and then Jamie has made a broccoli pasta with chili and lemon zest and it's really delicious. And we have half an hour left of the last episode of The Traitors seeason one, Australia to get through. Yeah. And we watch fifty minutes of it and we're too tired But Jam's too tired. I've forgotten actually just before we had dinner whilest she was doing Ian's bedime, I had a call with the boss of Talorksport, who I told was my yesterday. He likes the pod. so he said, I'd better be interesting. And I think he was I mean, I wouldn't say he was fascinating, but like we got to the points we needed to get to.. So hello Liam. And then I have a teams call with an estate agent in London I've got three estate agents who are interested in selling my flat and I'm interested, but I'm just procrastinating because Once I say, yes, I have to find some forms that are in a box somewhere and I don't know where the box is. and I haven't told any of them. So I thought you were procrastinating about this because you've been talking about this for Quite literally months. You were waiting for the Straits of Hormz to open or something like that. Yeah. Whas instead you're just looking for a forb that's in a box somewhere. I'm waiting for one of them to say it's actually worth double, but they're M all saying it's actually a papper junk and nowhere near what you thought it was, it's only going to get worse. So sign up with me and you're like, ye 's good to have your expectations managed. you know, I think it's a first world problem, David. If anyone would like a house, is this the one that has a bathroom that's full of glory days of soccer AMur? I would keep that in because there's two signed shirts with my name on the back of I don't want them. Yeah. So yeah. if you would like two bed flat in Shorditich, Sash Clerkenwell, Old Street, please get in touch. We could do it off the books I don't know how that works, but like I'm open to offers We watch traraitors for a bit, but we don't watch all of it and then at nine o'clock Jamie goes to bed and I lie on the sofa for twenty minutes trying to have a twenty minute nap But I don't because I've gott to hang out washing and move washing inside and outside and see which is wet and which is and work out how if I have the radiator on all night, all this kind of stuff. Oh God. So then I'm into the radio. It's ten o'clock and we're doing Hawksespey and Jacobson on talalks about me and Charlie Baker. what did you yesterday, alumni good on the show So the U. S manager, Maurtio Pino emailed his squad to tell them if they were in it or not.

I wonder where she put it in the email. Yeah, That's a good point. You certainly couldn't have it as the last paragraph like BTW. Yeah Do you lead with it?

I'm enjoying this Okay, so that's one in the morning and I go to bed A lovely, a lovely day. It's a classic, it's a classic of the genre, isn't it? But I'm so happy that Jamie is back L is better when she is in it. Final question on it, do we see the move in terms of Ian Rushton from trains to space? Is that something I'm picking up on here? He still very much got one hand in the train. Yeah. Dream would perhaps be a brio train on Saturn. Yeah. that would be the ultimate.
