WDWDY #75: New Listener Drive — Jun 18, 2026 — starts at 0:00
There are millions of them. Some might say too many. I have one already. I don't have any because 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? 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? Noope, 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'dahery. Welcome to What did You Do yesterday. Hello and welcome to Midwek mayhem. fromrom the people that bring you what did you do yesterday, My name's Max Rusian, alongside me, David Odahoti, welcome David It feels to me a lot like a new era. It does, doesn't it? Yeah just something in the air. Yeah, not like the millennium. you know, it feels bigger than the millennium. Yeah. And unlike the millennium where everyone thought the world would end, but it didn't. The world might end here and it might. That's the difference There was much because we have been off for a week and there was much speculation. Someone on Reddit got so panicked that they just did their own yesterday. and it's got more comments than anything we've ever done. U Dany wrote on Spotify, he wrote this, that an episode announcing this, no episode today garners many more comments from listeners than usual episodes of Midwek Mayhem is a perfect distillation of what did you do yesterday experience. We care about the little things Max has taught us to question everything. Sophie says I hope the news is that the construction on the what did you do yesterday theme park has started We have broken ground. Yes. We're both actually, we're doing this podcast from a Dig I'm in a backhoe loader and David is in an excavator. Karine says if this is yet another quiz where we have to guess what the news is. I swear to God, it's like a shaking fists Damian says I just saw DOD an hour ago coming out of BNQ carrying a new bathtub. Oh no. they're doing it. I think this was my favorite. There was speculation about whether we've signed like a huge advertising deal with someone. And Glaucus Blue says regarding adverts, I always tend to skip an advert if I'm not fixing a roof. But the thing is, Max and David have effectively jeopardized virtually every potential sponsorship opportunity by either dissing the brand, accidentally preem empting the sponsorship Or setting said brand alongside mentions of BOCs or other dubious content. A quick squeeze of everything in showbz has already ruled out. Lulu Lemon, preremier Inn, Dodoos, Hotel Devar, Pret, Hule, Mastercard and Visa, cursey of Josh Whitikin's observation that no one uses mastercard or Visa, no one cares. Guns, Sa Rose Mantao, Hammerite, Ronseal, Brill cream, iPhone, Squarespace, Emma's mattress, Monsanto, whale oil, all meal in a box brands Brooks rununning, Matchet tea, dark chocolate, very liquid, U fit cereial in genereral, Arl Dite, no more nails, fllora proroactive, Wming chocolate, Qantas albe Agacy being touted to sell anything and everything in the shape of a tennis racket, including bellllows, Aldi pan sales have now plummeted, any others. At this point, the only viable sponsor I can think of is Octaock, maybe Pizza Express or Tony's Chocolonies. I guess there is hope for a Mom in's Cab. They can take an unexpected deal into the adult realm. What's the news, David What's the news? We have big news. So People tell s yes before. I was gathering in air because of the level of excitement that I have People often say to us We love hearing about your yesterdayays. But could there be more They do just say that ively every week, if you think about it, Max. One of us says what we did yesterday and the other effectively leaves that yesterday on the table. And there have been times when one of us has had a really exciting yesterday. and yet the other one just has to yammer on about having lunch with their mother or a child shitting in a sam. Or there is a time where One of us has forgotten whose yesterday is and has meticulously noted the yesterday only to find out it's not there yesterday So we are just to be clear, we are launching more what did you do yesterday? I'll tell you how you can get that in a second. If you are happy with the amount of yesterdays that you have, nothing will change in the main feed. You'll still get the Sunday guest episode, your Wednesday midweek mayayhem on the usual feed, but you can support the show by becoming what we're calling a lifer.

So what you get, if you decide yourself you want a life sentence, no parole, you will get an extra bonus episode every week so that you will hear both the yesterdays. It will always be the same of our yesterdays. There'll be synchronicity in this interruption. Yes, David. I'm going to say that the other yesterday, third yesterday, the just normally yesterday, the third one He'll be quite inside, quite sassy. Do you know what I mean? They'll be there'll be a lot of realal nerd stuff in that. it's an opportunity to do that. to slag off the freeeloaders who are just remaining with the free Exactly basically dead to us. now, although we don't say that on this the main feed.

But also me and Max were knitting tells Just imagine a dark room Just the only sound are two knitting needles just crashing off each other. Mars Bar occasionally coming in, throwing some food on the floor beside us. More tea towel. Yeah.

David's pains to point out that some listeners don't want to be on the lers. most listeners listen to this and think to themselves Well this is entertaining on sub level. It's the last thing in the world I would like to. And the idea of just randomly drawing someone called, you know, Becky and Draada out and being like tellell us what you did yesterday fills you with fear that you don't have to, but it will be we will once in a while do one of your yesterddayayss.

And now here is our latest episode of Mayhem, which we recorded last week And for the tape, we also recorded our first ever bonus episode. but Martha and David both decides, it was so terrible. They included the worst quiz I've ever done that they refused to let it go to air But once we hit a certain number of subscribers, I promise I will release I will release the think of a thing Th live. So listeners, in the middle of it, producer Will was on the Nobs and he did an extraordinary thing and took a photo of the Zoomy thing where we record these, and Max has a look of glee in his eyes and I have my head and my hands. And that sums up much of what we do, but particularly the last episode that will never be heard It will be heard. Once we once we get past Finn Taylor and the rest is history on subscriptions. We will release the think of a Th thing tapes, which genuinely was the first moment where David showed real, I would say sadness, maybe even anger, and maybe a real regret that he decided to ever come on this journey with me. Like genuine regret. It wasn't like funny regret, it was like real ye existential regret I don't w to do this anymore. It's the first time I've ever contacted a barrister to ask if there are any loopholes in the phrase in it for life Okay, so everyone subscribeed please. Yesterdaypod. supportingcast. Fm And we'd really appreciate that. And now here is the episode we recorded last week There are millions of them. Some might say too many? I have one already. I don't have any because 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? Too afraid of being censored by the man posossibly, 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. What we're interested in is what the guest got up to yesterday Nothing more. Day before yesterday, Max? Noope, the greatest and most interesting day of your life. Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it I'm Max Ruston, and I'm David O'Dahherery. Welcome. What did you do yesterday Hello and welcome to Midwek Mhem from the people that bring you, what did you yesterday? My name is Max Rosner, alongside me, David O'dohi, David. welcome I am very happy to be here. We're still having a new listener drive, of course. Oh How's it going? Well, this is why I've summoned you here I've watched some of your planking videos and they are. So people who may not have looked at Max's Instagram since the Ben Elton episode and his five minute planks. He does a five minute plank. And I wasn't sure if he did because he's sixty seven or something. Yeah. You, however, choose to do them videoed with your face really close to the screen. Correct is giving us OP, no hold bar. OP shagging Max. Is that what you'll say? Yeah. I even made myself feel a bit sick say how that So here's what happened. I did it, I did the first one, I think I did a minute. Yeah. People forwarded it to other people. I mean, that's a strange thing to do is world we're in. huge amount of feeding. I got a huge number of views. And then I did it the next day and I did one and a half minutes and the audience kind of halved. And then I did it the next day and I did Heading towards two minutes and then Mr. Rushon interrupted me because I said I was hanging up at the washing and she burst into the room and said What are you doing? And I said, I'm doing my planking video for Instagram. And I mean she almost filed for divorce at that exact moment. And then the next start did two minutes and the audience halved again Then I think I was tired the next day, so I only did a minute and a half. Yeah. I have missed two days. So it's been like I feel like the journey has come to an end And then I don't want to spoil Well it's your yesday isn't Yeah hope I am also doing my yesterday Maybe if we launched a new venture, but we can't give anything away yet. I have noticed there's been a lot of people being like, we like it, but it'd be great if there was a bit more of it. Of this podcast. Yeah. In a way that people have been saying, we don't want any more planking I mean, many people have said And Charlie Baker did this a lot on the RadiSA. Are you sure It's planking and we can't do that joke anymore. Ben Elton planks for five minutes every morning. and' like raair enough, you know, his age. That's impressive But the one thing that I have noticed from that video is that because when you're planking, you put your head down, it's quite tiring. Yeah. O, it's not very good because it's not conversational for Instagram because we' t content content. This is be the worst content you could live. But when I look down, I've really got, I really have a balld patch And I really wasn't I didn't know that until then because I cut my own hair most of the time. It's very rare to get the drive by from the hairdresser. Yeah, ye. Then your hair's just been cut so it doesn't But I really do Charlie on the radio said yesterday, he allayed my fears by saying that most of my work is front facing It's I mean, I have one too. I have a more considerable one than you I only see it in lifts occasionally sometimes wherever you're standing by virtue of the sort of freeway mirrors, but could pretend that we've become Cistersian monks. Yeah you know, where you shave the dryer textile. Yeah. so that will involve wearing those sort of brown robes andals Bown cusssock. I mean, literally Charllie and I have this ex conversation I should rebrand as a frriar Were this help things One big worry is at Melbourne Museum in the children's gallery, there is a bit where a mirror a bit, where it's like mirrorirror mirror miror's like a thousand mirrors. Yeah. Obviously the lift, I understand, it's like that, but like times a million. That could be really where I start to like drink Rain or, you know, get a hair transplant But anyway, I think I would it's okay all because of Plank. all because of B Elton. It's all because of Bet Elton. I would never have been decided to plank for five minutes. and as Ben Elton said, he planked for five minutes. And now it was one of my best videoos and interestingly, like From that first video, I got so many followers and I was like, what do they think?? Who are the people who before were like, not that guy. Now' like, maybe this is you know, every man fitness tips. Is that what this is? What do they think they're gonna get? I still get, if you go into the dark folder on Instagram Still every week there are three fitness type guys, Gavin fitness types who are asking me to collab on a Journey. a finished journey. Yeah Yeah. turnurn this old sloppy bod into some prime sirloin But maybe we should go for it together like And obviously this is the first podcast we've done and everyone has discussed The diary of the CEO man Stepvenen Barlet saying, you a glass of wine it ruined three days of his life Wow. The best bit is when he said I didn't podcast as well. You mentioned sang Didn't you have like four bottles of ai? Whuring You had the Joruring one of ours, yes. Well, that's where everything in showbiz came from. Without the Vietnamese laga, the big yellow tins. It's true. We'd never have got it to the listeners, a couple of times Max has barely been hanging in there So keep the vibe going, he's drank a few cans or bottles during the podcast. But then I notice particularly when it's my yesterday, you go into this real thousand yard stare. A huge state, is that what it is In order to keep you like, I just have to start making up stuff about my day. just. Then I tasered the helicopter and you're like, o wow. This is an episode of this I record in Australia I don't remember many details, but I had been out really late with one of Helen's Irish friends who lives in Melbourne And I remember thinking, God, I hope I get away with this now because it was my yesterday. And I was really good. L it's one of the favorite episodes of ours. So you're powered by the Anti Bartlet juice. Yeah is what it is. I mean, the last last on him Because He's got fifty squillion pounds Yeah and a square jaw and he doesn't need a hair transplant. So there we go. I bet he can playank for five minutes. Yeah He could. Anyway, Briie May Williams was a lovely episode. Daniel writes about we got ono Santa Smut. Did we? We did, we got onto novels. Yes. Brionie was reading smmut let any opportunity whenever she got a spare minute. she would bring out a pornographic novel to read Yeah It know when we got ono could we write some bike stuff or some antiques road show stuff? Yes. And many people pointed out that you know, loveove Joy. Yeah, that was loveovejoy. It was. mister Bangon and loveove Joy though. So loveove Joy was Ian McShane to the listeners who was Deadwood then, which was quite a pivot for he wasn't Dadwood in loveove Joy I can't remember it. I mean Tinker wasn't banging. was wasting cast. those three old men who looked like they'd sort of not got the last of the summer wine gig. Yeah. Maybe he was a bit of a you know, he was a bit of a player, maybe. He used to look at the camera and wink. He did the He invented fleaabag basically. him and Zach Morris from say byy the Bll. Yeah. they would look down the barrel. I didn't know that Yeah, look to you at home. Well, Daniel spoke about Santa Smuck, saying he's limited to short stories as he only comes once a year. But then Do you think about it? He really does. like, you know Sorry, if I drag this podcast even further into the gutter than he thought it could. I was intrigued by her talking about making scones with things that don't sound nice. Avocado scone But then I looked at her page and she made baked bean scones, which seem an awful idea. They all seem fine they will turn out. So I don't know if she's cheating You know, if she just has some scones that she's got from Gregs that she pulls out of the oven They're not really made from baked beans or in fact, you can make scones from absolutely anything. A lot of the comments though were people who heard are on the podcasts. Oh that's nice. Yeah. I think it may be the center of the known universe. Robert says Read the David Lloyd reference in the Bronie May Williams episode It's not the place you want to be going to in Newcastle Australia, as it's a funeral director ye a different twist on a deadlift. Regarding plking, David says if David thinks he can plank for an hour, did you say you could plank for an hour? He says Yeah because there's nothing to it. Yeah, he must be using his massive head as a cantileilever I was mostly annoyed that We both From a graphic design point of view, there is competition between us because when we put out a podcast, we both make a sort of an ad for it. Yeah I've always considered no. It is definitely the case that my graphic design is superior to yours And yet Yeah, you're ahead of me. Brianie chose to use your Big like crayon flipp page with her name written on it and her face on it. We see, I invited her to collaborate. Now I don't know what the ethics of inviting people to collaborate is because I often invite you to collaborate and you don't collaborate. I'm like, well, if David isn't, then I can't really expect, you know Gary Lineaka to. But like it's hit and miss some'm just because I'll just if anybody wants to collaborate, I'm not fine I'm honored that people have asked, but some people you're not sure. and I don't think in the ethics of you can't say do you mind doing it sounds a bit desperate, doesn't it if you say, I've asked you to collaborate on this post, but she collaborated. said thank you, Brianie. Hey, I saw you and Gary Linaker did another podcast together Well, that's my yesterday, which isn't on today's episode So I can't if only there was some other way I know. W. Yeah. Obviously I want to know did he flash back to his yesterday and he was I can't give this information. Oh Max. Miranda Fleet says the only correct answer for an alternative animal to the soctopus sock drying device on a recent episode is of course, a centipede Or the sock toede, a hundred legs equates to the capacity of fifty pairs of socks to be laundered at one time I'm up for Dragon's Den if you are, Max Thank you, Miranda. Unfortunately sounds too much like the soctopedo. don't even want to think about what that is. What was the episode where you were talking about adding else predators? and then we came up with the Pumanons. And that really did It's a great design Cive but I'm not sure I would call it In years to come, that's not a good name for a football boer. What about the David O soccety air dryer? muchuch obliged, Tim So what is that though? Is that the shape of me To the listeners, this was You say to the listeners, who else would you be addressing like who else possibly are you addressing? Because I don't want to to make it seem like I'm just trying to like because we are in this for life, you know, various mental decreptitudes may creep in towards the end. is true. I'll have to remind you of anything. L the start of the podcast will just be Who did we have on last weend In every episode, you'll say, Bristol Airport is just a farmer with a dream. And I just won't stop you. I'll just be like, we have to let him do that joke. You just have to. It is a good one. I like it. It always makes me smile. so just let him have that Bristol Airport joke. You need to let him have it. It's not like you've ever repeated one of your three addecdes So we've established I needed a plastic device to hang multiple smalls from And what I wanted was the one shaped like an octopus. I end up getting the one shaped like a jellyfish. I did put it out there. What other animals Could you mimic giraffe, some people said. and that seems like It's too big an animal. Like I get that it has a long neck But How many pairs of underpants would you get on that neck Maybe like six or something like that Hang is the neck horizontal? Well, otherwise we would have to kill the giraffe and then put it because it's a rare, I've never seen a giraffe with the neck parallel to the ground. Is that I wasn't thinking we were using a live giraffe for to dry our washing Yeah That is, I would argue impractical at best Well I mean, I guess you could hang all this stuff from the legs then, but it's too we want a smaller, more compact I think animal with more bits coming out you know, they might be long, but it's actually when you boil it down, it's the same number of bits as a cat It really is. what is a giraffe, if not just F sort of shres. stretch go. Oh my God H acc, David, I really love your podcast, says Harry. But he wrote this before the conversation we just had about Giraffes and Cat. Me and my dad listened to it in the car. We really love the Rose Mata Fay episode because we're current in NewZealand. My dad always laughs at the same two bits of the intro. When David says the man and when you both try to say the name of the show together, even though on other pods, he skips the intros But that's good We are also from Tennington. I'm ten years old. am I your youngest listener? There are some parts I don't know a ten year old needs to hear, but we've established this is a great entry level way to learning about the realities, the harsh realities of life. Never kill a giraffe to use it as a was gl. There we are, Harry. Don't do that. That would be like the lead story in New Zealand as well Max on the best of last week, you And again, because I don't have the journalistic training that you have, you just put it out there that you bought six pairs of trousers and we're probably going to bring them back from the op shop. No, no, no, no, I picked up six, Try them all on and bought one U Okay, sorry, I thought you brought six pairs of trousers back. No that would be insanity. Yes, yes. because I We need goals in our health journeys and I got a pair of amazing Bjornborg tennis shorts. Oh little short ones. Yeah, they're tiny. And I want to fit into them because at the moment they're fine, but when I laugh, they have a pop It makes quite a loud sound Wh N happened to Borg. Maybe that's why Borg was so serious on court because if anything funny ever happened, his shorts would fall down. Yeah If Cliff Ridichard ded singing or someone dropped a tennis ball or a pigeon appeared and sent to court literally lost their minds. He had to stay totally morose for fear of the giant And then his shorts just falling down like when you used to do Judo. Did you used to do Judo? There was always someone at Judo who hadn't tied his trousers on and they would and like there'd always be two of you like holding each other's Judo shirts, but none of you had a fucking clue what you were doing. And then you're just waddling around in the middle and then someone Mark Cooper's trousers would fall down. And you know, it brought the house down Absolutely brought the house down. Hi team, in the last episode of Midwek Madness, Max is not convinced about the virtues of a bath of chowder. And if you need a wee, what are you gonna do? he objects, as if impression does not equally apply to a regular bath full of water. Or am I the only one not pissing in the bath. Everything is showed old in Christ Church It was such an odd question to ask. I don't think so indelicate. It's my final meal. I'm about to die So there I'm having a bath of chowder Of course I'm not to pee in it. for goodness sake. No, I understand that, but the question from concerning Christchurch is, if you're in a hot bath, would you we if you needed to? No, the only fluids I've weed in are Okay The sea? The sea, correct The ultimate chowder, some call it. It's quite deconstructed as a chowder, isn't it? The sea, isn't it? It someome would say too salty and a pool a few times when I was little. Yeah o. And just trapped, you know, or just didn't to leave. Yeah, I understand that. I apologize for that now. I wouldn't pee in the pool now Mainly because I just wonder if I'd had a barockca and then Then you'd be doing front crawl. and it would be like the red arrows with the trail just shooting out. it' be so obvious to the lifeguard. More I'd be in the kids pool. I'd be very stationary and then it would just be like a sort of ready breck advert just from the waist down. and it would be really obvious. So that's why I stopp myself. Listeners, what other the liquids have you peed in? Oh God. I feel like you're having an existential crisis today, Dond There was always the fear of the tiny Animal swimming up the pee Remember that? It wasous s in nineties fear. But that's even came from weing in a river. Yes. must swim upstream. Yeah, as a river monsters fan yourself, that must be a constant fear in your life. I mean, I'm sure there's been an episode You know, But every episode, the guy probably was just pissed and fell in the river. Yeah the end. It might not have been the Gululaang Halibut of Eastern Ecuador. It was actually just had a few. Yes. The other fear was peeing on an electric fence. That was a major thing. because as someone who grew up partially on an island There are electric fences. so you would be slightly worried where you put it And if it was really cold, were you worried about it freezing? Yeah. hang on. you told J Sackleton anecdote about that isn't it? He got stuck to the mast. Yeah. No. I've never been in that situation I really can't imagine this Let's wamp this up, David with the David Squires quiz Mike says, Hi Chaps after learning of Max's life in postcodes and realizing we didn't live that far from each other, although ten years after Max near Cowleie Road in Oxford. This triggered my brain to move towards someone who might be the answer to the David Squres quiz. I used to live on Rectory Road, which had the star pub, free pool on a Monday circa two thousand eight. yearsars later, I met a guy who told me he used to drink in this exact pub with the bad suupergrass and had many a sordid taail. My guess is Gaz Coombbs from Supergrass. Cheers, Mike. Proucer Will. Is Gaz Combs the answer to the David Squires quiz I have no idea. My mess is Michael and. It's like the Montenegro teas. once again, the Gaz Cb's teas. Producer Marsbard did say youd never ever, no one will ever, ever get it. And I reckon someone would eventually guess Gaz Com. I actually have one. I have another one Oh yeah. And it's a similarly rock star one. Oh yeah. anotherother secret fan of Oxford United is Philip Selway, who's the drummer from radiohead. Yeah ye yeah. So could it have been his son then was the son of one of Radiohead that isn't Tom York. Do you think that was the one that Adam Buxton sent a DVD to or whatever? Oh ye in the Adam Buxton episode. Could it have been Phillip Selway? And then How would you know from I feel what if it was say Gelaine Maxwell, you would know her had there for the father who supported Oxford United, you would know him. But how would you identify Sorry, is your dad the drummer for Radiohead? I don't know if anyone would ever say that to some guy in Dublin, but we can ask Mars Par the next time we see him. Caroline in Scotland says I'm a new listener and was enjoying the James Acaster episode, where you're so much to go. When you were discussing searching for deer in Richmond Park when a deer ran past my car. I just wanted to say how excited I am for this new interactive style podcast. I can't wait to find out what else there is in store. Fantastic concept. Keep doing what you do. Thank you Caroline And Austin in Dublin says, Hello guys, Listen to Maxes yesterday, yesterday. On the way to work where someone wrote in to say she was spreading fluoroproactive on her bread at the exact moment Max mentioned it in the previous week. Five minutes later on the pod, cheese strings were correctly guessed in the Kerdle quiz. As I looked out of the window on the bus passing a school in sunny Dublin, I noticed a teenager walking towards the school gate, chewing with something in his hand. Surely not, I thought to myself, yes, he was eating fucking cheese strings I freaked out briefly and then immediately forot about it until just now when my wife was spreading flora proactive on her bread. Is this some sort of yesterday pod inception thing more proof if any was needed that this podcast is the center of the goddamn multiverse, I'm sure you agree, in it for life, et cetera. Austin in Dublin. Austin, can you just the next person you see ask them if they are a fan of Oxford United or their father is And so we can end that As regards the Pied de Mones. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. have a guess on this too. Yeah. I've had a little think myself. You gave away information last week I did. You said Davo, the osteopath for the two thousand seven Australian Taekwondo team used to get lifts from this person in the early nineties that places it in time, that knocks a few off the list. How many Australians were there in The nineteen nineties. I don't know much about Taekwondo.ight. Is that the song? I don't know much about where Judo and Tiquwndo have both been mentioned on this episode. I think this is the ultimate martial arts podcast. I don another one. I do know that Australia won their first ever Taekwondo gold medal All right This doesn't even work now because there's no way you would be able to identify Lauren Burns winner of the first Australia Taekwando medal at the two thousand Olympics, but that was someone who could have been driving Davo around's possible. If he was into Taekwondo in the early nineties, it's a big guess The face I'm getting now is sadder than second forty five of the Panking face. I think that's my answer. What did a listener wonder? Victoria in Edinburgh says, longtime listener, first time email. I was listening to the pod after my nineteen month old settled for bedtime earlier than expected. Unsure what to do with this surpriseed time on my hands. I decided to ignore all important tasks and instead research the famous person or at Peter Monte's C I choose not to reveal my incredible research methods and instead go straight to the guess, Paul Dempsey of the band something for Kate. Keep up the amazing work with this pod. loveo to misses Rushon and the helelicopter, booking tickets to see DOD when he comes to Edinburgh this August. Thank you, Victoria. Thank you, Victoria. Yeah. Do you know this band? L you've good knowledge of ninet' music Ill tell you why I know this band It's not because I was stood next to Paul Demppsy at the cucumbers ates. It's because he came on the project and one of the episodes that I hosted along with someone else who's really famous in Australia from about twenty years ago because they'd done a coab and then I had to interview a band, which I would say The only thing I'm worse at is interviewing boxes. Yeah What's it like being in a b? Yeah Do you get tired doing the drumming? Yeah, especially when they they were big twenty years ago Is touring the same as it was back then Did you realize back then you know What it was all gonna to be just another generic, terrible questions that they're looking at. Can't you think of something else to ask us about? Now how many guitars have you got? Oh leave me alone. Where. Do you get your ideas for your songs? Yeah exactly. So it's incorrect, but I do know who that is. so very well done Max Rant Hackett Can I ask a second guy? It's Grant Hackett, but without giving away that I don't know who Grant Hacket is. Okay, it's not Ground Hacket then Grround Hacket Ground Hacket. other famous millennium swimmer from Australia who wasn't Ian Thorpe A not grown likeack it Grantack, grant Hack it. It's none of the grants. It's not Rus Grant. It's not Grant Mitchell It's not Grand Halt David, forgive me, do we do their're just normal countries reductx now and cururdle at the end? Or do they curdle now they theirre just normal countries? We do it the first way around. Now mres Rushon thinks the jingles are too long Yeah. She's my wife Okay, I love her. So she's giving straight feedback, especially the cheese one. She thinks everybody skips it She doesn't think there's anybody who listens who doesn't skip cheese And ideally we don't want people to skip parts of the podcast. Yeah. I don't think. Anyway, I'm just giving that feedback. She wanted me to I do recall when we did it live in Melbourne and the audience were very excited that Sam Campbell would be coming out eventually. and then we played them a six minute jingle with their cheese. They didn't look that happy. It's time for their just normal countountries reductx I am no one and I lay. What country could I be? I am the one and only Where in the world could our listeners be Here we go, Northern Mariana Islands L Sutu Malai, Surunam South Sudan, Saoutthomiian Principay Lichchtenstein Montenero correct, Guyana Kurasau Dear, what did you do yesterday, Gang on the assumption that this podcast is, in fact, the center of everything? Immediately after watching Max's video of himself attempting to outplank Ben Elton, while repeatedly insisting he was not trying to be a fitness influencer, despite, by definition attempting to influence people's fitness. YouTube sa beia video about the disputed territories' enclaves and assorted border weirdness between France and Spain Given that the algorithm clearly knows something I don't, my guess just on what countries partart two is Andora. Oh. In case you're wondering how your influencing is going, I did briefly consider giving the five minute plank a go, but fortunately my albeit reasonably mild, ADHD means I keep getting distracted before I can become insufferable about core strength in it for life but not planks Amy Christ Church New Zealand. David, please bring your next tour here. I fear with this because Andora is a skiing destination, isn't it? I think it's in the mountains. We're big in the skiing community. Alberto Tomber V this popular player out speakers in Kittspu. loveove the cowbells. Yeah great. keepe going. I want three more ski references because I'm pretty sure that's all of yours. Martin and Graham Bell, they listen to it together for your British brothers. Eddie the Eagle Edwards. Eddie Eagle Edwards likes it A Cool rununnings. somethingomething about cool rununnings. There yeah. There we go. I could be the next I could be the next David Vine. Couldn't I with that sort of skiing. So What's the question producer? well, is Andora a normal country's redox? W. How big are we in aora? I'm gonna stay two hundred and six two hundred and sixty, I'm going to say one hundred and forty one twenty five. Oh! We've lost touch with the common man there, David. That's what's happened. justust then We've started to believe the hype around this podcast. And we've been brought sadly down to earth that there are only twenty five sets of salipetes listening to What did you do yesterday? What are salapets? They're waterproof dungarees for skiing. Okay, yeah yeah. Hey, David, what time did you wake up yesterday? The morning is the thing here It had an incredible So I was woken up by an alarm. by seven o five by a man. It's still warm, although the weather is very changeable here. We slept with the window open And there was a man fixing the roof next door seven o five But moreore than that, he was singing the song Boys, boys, Bys.ice Yeah Well, this is the greatest start to your day ever. I'm gonna to say this beats every Helen's alarm went off. She annoyed me because she was going to palateates or whatever. This is man is singing Sabrina, boys, boys, boys on the roof next boys boys, boys looking for a good time time. Bys, boys, boys. Yeah. Yeah. it then caused me to look up video, which is absolutely crazy. Yeah that it's such a horny period of eighties Italo disco It's just a big booby lady. in a swimming pool, sting the whole like sort of a single shot, basically.ight. Did you do that straight away? So like you're in bed listening to advancing boys, boys, boys while watching boys, boys, boys on your phone. And then Helen wakes up and sees what I'm looking at up by phone. I have to explain. No, a rooofer was singing It's definitely the case, Max, he was singing fif year old Irishman was singing boys, boys, boys. Is that the best you can come up with? D mean it's over Why was he singing boys, boys, boys? I don't know, but I'm so pleased he was. Yeah. unless he had the three other members of his roofing gang up there fixing the bitumen on the roof or whatever. That's his sort of clarical to the. Bys, boys, boys. Was it an emergency fee? I mean, because it doesn seem early to start like hammering away on a roof? Yeah, I don't know. I can't give you any more information than the fact that it was definitely coming from the roof next door. I didn't hear the sound of the. lamp or I didn't hear knocking or anything. And he didn't hear that he was singing along to one of those really big impregnable radios that builders have. No, no, no. it wasn't A capeella. It was A capeella. Unless it was a really rare Irish summerbird. That it all is Sabrina's boys, boys, boys You'd think you'd have heard about it, wouldn't you? That would have been on the one show. Here's the revelation. I am asleep and I'm woken by this beautiful song.. and The reason I'm asleep and I have slept so well is I'd say for the last six months on this podcast, I've been complaining about hip pain Now I know I see your eyes roll when I say that But oh, I have hip pain too. This is the right young person's podcast. So many stretches. Okay. I've tried so many stretches And I've looked up so many stretches And then the algo just served me the stretch. I always knew there was a stretch. All right. It turns out that the issue with them, So a worst case scenario it where I was thinking, oh no, my hips are simply worn out little husk hips like yours But I'm a young man in my prime and I haven't been trying to keep up with twenty three year olds on the football pitch in the last five years. And cycling doesn't really take it out of your hips. However, I do know the problem with cycling is the movement is entirely lateral Suddenly the gram started sending me these stretches, which basically involved doing little circles with The hips going roundy roundies. So hang on, A I standing up to do these or am I? You're in a position called nineteen ninety where you get Sabrinas, that's Sabrinas. You lie down on the ground, you get this knee leg in a ninety, your two legs in a ninety with your crotch And your right leg on a ninety You do. So the classic one is you flip from one side to the other all the way over. then if you lift your heel and then make them do little movements, L, this part is not interesting. What's interesting is I've slept so soundly and I didnt wake with the piercing pain in the fronts of my thighs. So it's been Great night. Wonderful. It's my turn to make breakfast And in the delirium of the Sabrina invoked no hip pain. I make a breakfast that's too healthy I go too healthy with the breakfast. I go Greek yogurt And then some sort of granola that really needs milk of some kind to not make it like shards of steel And then I put some toppers on it and bring it in. What are health toppers? Fax. Oh I see those ones and then a bit of grit and gravel in there. Yeah, but it's grit upon grit with not enough Greek yogurt on it. So that does Is it rejected? It's not rejected, but end up having to do a sort of kid thing of just swirling it around in the Greek yogurt in an attempt to make that penetrate it and make it edible It's fine. It's absolutely fine I have done a preview show the night before. So now it's time to listen to that. Helen Copter goes to work, unhappy that I've made such a healthy breakfast fillter with the necessary vim and vigor for the day. Got it. I need to listen to the show from the night before which is the first one that's not embarrassingly bad, to be honest. I'm doing these free shows at six thirty. Is this upstairs in the little pub? Yeah to It's no one's night out is the idea of this. It's just something we sneak in fifty minutes former Irish Olympian Annaise Murphy had come to the one from last week. Brpton And with her partner who also had a Brompton. You know you're doing all right when there's two wudience the Bromptons beside each other. What was her gold medaling? She I think it was the silver max What was it in A sailing. Siling, okay, f. And she's pivoted now. I think she's trying to do very serious cycling Somet that I'll probably do in a few years time pivot away from No actually now I'll keep doing the podcast but we'll I go for a walk to listen to this podcast We go to the park where I do more of my Hip exercises. I'm basically a hip exercises guy now. I get a text from former guest on the podcast Celia AB. I like Celia. H she found the key fob? Is that she telling you she's found She She's on tour at the moment with Nick Mohammed who you may know from Ted Lasso and many other things And she's in Belfast and they're coming down. together and I say Oh, great. we'll come to the gig tonight. Can we get tickets? That would be great. And she says, Yes, meet me for lunch. at one fifteen. So we've got the day's got some structure. She then however, texts me almost immediately afterwards to say she's quite tired. Let's put that off till two fifteen She will then to text me after that to say, Well let's put it off till three fifteen. She's died. I know, but when you're on tour, I get it. You have these notions, but because you are basically concentrating for the show. I say, let's just leave it. I'll see you at the show tonight. Have you just sat still for the three hours waiting for these text messages Have you filled your day? The listening to the show takes an hour It's quite changeable so I get soaked and come home and change my outfit and then decide, here's what we'll do. We'll take Mum for lunch. A, lovely. My twenty year old niece is going away for a few weeks, so I get her on board And we are in fact going to take M. She's getting her hair done. We will do the shopping with the list while that's happening and then we'll all go over for lunch afterwards. So, this is wonderful planning The shopping goes reasonably well, but we will find out. Mum's just written stuff on the list like stock, you know bread.. So obviously every single thing we get is the wrong thing. But that's okay because we go for lunch then So it's a tiny cafe in a little village And it has a six page lunch menu And also we're right beside the kitchen and I see the size of the kitchen. It's like a quarter the size of your shed And yet you can get a pad tie or a beef Wellington. Like honestly, I lose my mind and So while my niece merely just gets a bagel, which is the correct thing to do. My momum gets like tomato soup with a side salad. I decide to go Praon's pail pill And can they do it? Do they deliver? They do it They posossibly no one's ever ordered it before. There's an emergency button. The prawn pill pill button. him just leafing through a cookbook. chiseling out the prawns from the freezer. We've got six in here. I'm pretty sure of it Pretty good, but well probably the moral of the story Max is just get the things in a place that does a thing mostly order that thing Don't go Chairain So I need some painting gear because I'm planning on doing some painting. What are you gonna paint This place, there's been a leak in the roof here as well.. And I think Bys Bys Bys has fixed it O Okay one of his mates But there are black marks. so I need my brushes and stuff. I always feel like a loser buying more paint stuff because I have a bag of paint stuff, but the paint stuff bag is in storage. Okay. and There's something so otherly about going to I haven't been to the storage place since before I went to Australia. Yeah They're bleak. They're basically where murders happen. are they? They are murders in gritty Northern dramas like happappy Valley. Someone gets suffocated in a big yellow storage. So's what happens. Yeah, what's that series? moment that's very popular where They have their memories It's people who work in an office building, but they have their minds blanked when they go in so they never remember what they do. I watched about half an hour of at severance. I watched about half an hour and I couldn't I didn't like it at all. That's very much the vibe in the storage facility. It's possible you come out of a storage facility After five minutes and you look at your watch had it three years later. And you just have a photo and you have to piece together You've got the contents of the room and you have to piece together your whole life from the stuff you've put in storage. Wow, this is not bad stuff. this is good. Although the last time we tried to improvise a book It was clearly just love joy. Chances are another one of our pitch hard to do something new. It is hard to do something new. Basically, it's too far back wherever it is and I'm not taking I've put all my earthly possessions into an enormous room in this storage facility and I was hoping the paint stuff might be near the door ight. A you don to go climbing in If you go climbing in, you could just become part of the storage. Exactly. And as I open the door, I hear this awful sort of ooze sound of plastic bags just starting to move toward. So I just shut it and immediately realized that was a terrible idea. I mean, there's a lot to be said for putting everything in storage And they're just coming back and they just say A actually got rid of it all. Yeah, fine you're better off without it. O if maybe the walls and the ceiling Of the storage facilities, you all just close in like in Star Wars. Yeah, all of your stuff is just reduced to a single stock cube and they just hand it back to you Oh I see. And then to get all your stuff back, you just bow the kettle and you pour it in a bug and stir around and then all your stuff, that's so great. That's an idea,. Wow on the way back I find out I been out bid on a house. Oh. You wanted that house too. Yeah, but it's not the end of the road. Oh I see. All right, you can come in Billy Big Balls and go. I know, but so now my mind is filled with You know, numbers cascading through the matrix And can we afford to put more bids in? Do we try and blow them away by putting in a bid for like would three hundred million dollars to secure the property? So we will be discussing that for the evening. It's time for Nick Mohammed's Sh Pony, show and Dublner. Oh good. Really good. I'm meeting Eva, my cousin who lives in America and is back. and the helelenopter And we meet in the pub beside the venue where we order drinks and then there isn't enough time to have the drinks. So I just down the pint really quickly. Good idea. And then straight into the venue, I think it's about to start and then I realize it's not going to start for another minute. And so I order people more drinks and I go to the bar. but I've ordered Helen Copter wanted a ginger beer. an alcoholic ginger beer. And so I say well, I'll have that too because it's been an energetic day and a guy with these hips needs rehab drinks like that and I get a wine for my cousin. But then the bottles of ginger beer is more than a pint in them. so I'm left with kind of a third in each. They're quite large fentaminens. Fentanyl. Fentanyl No compliment to ha need. What he said afterwards, what did you like about my show? I was like, Oh's be cozy It's a great show, but I'd recommend a pint and a half of fentanyol before watching the show. My point is this, we're in a rush to start the gig. Yeah, I pour the two bottles into pint glasses that already have a lot of ice in them, which leaves me approximately a third, two thirds of a bottle of fentimons I don't want to waste this. So I down the two of those really quickly and return to the seats absolutely hammered, You know, kind of like early evening hammered. we watch the show Celia is brilliant as the support. Nick Mohammed, we got to get that guy for this podcast. Yeah, good idea. If you' any way, I'm getting in touch He's very busy at the moment. He can't do it. He's one of my oldest friends in comedy. I'll ask him. We will get him. Have you asked him? because then I won't ask. He's a Hollywood A lister. He's doing great. Let's wait for him to slide off the bike Exactly. As soon as that happens,'ll dangle the carrot of this They haven't eaten so we to there aren't many late night food options near their hotel A eleven PM. Wonderful show Nick's Incrredo. So Nick Nick son apparently has a photographic memory because he talks about that and has got him on TV to demonstrate it. But like Nick can memorize a pack of cards, Nick You know How exactly Cedy got him. It seems like he could do anything because he plays music very beautifully as well. Yeah ye. What I like about the show is there's a very funny bit about he did a sort of a sketch at the Bafts last year And he describes just how tricky it is to do something at the BAFTas because you're told that, oh, we don't have rights to do that song on the day and then you write another thing. And it seems like it's a triumph. And then on the big screen behind him, he just flashes up all of these reviews from like metro of people going so called comedian res BaFas Anyay, it is a beautiful show. We go for a sort of up markarket kebab then at about eleven and as happens sometimes, someone in the restaurant helelicopter has helped them with a visa or citizenship in the past. Great. So enormous quantities of food startly brought out. And I eat my own body weight in kind of healthyish late night kebab rice type stuff I must have told you this. there's onlyort twice where I think I've been recognized in a restaurant for, you know hosting soccer AM. And one of them is a curry house I go to once here in London Bridge. and I can't believe this guy still recognized me. The other was in Marlone High Street I think, with two friends who I used to work with the BBC and they recognized me and they were like, we must get your gift and they brought out after we'd had Like our bodywight and pososh Kababs, they boughtght out the biggest fruit salads you've ever seen like watermelon after watermelon after watermelon. was just like this is not what we needed. One beer would be great. I don't need the star fruit. What's happen? All because Thank you, Max for mentioning Stockport County several times on TV in two thousand eight They where the glory is We ate all of this. It's fine because the tax arrived from next doour. so they're going to polish off the rest of it. We cycle home I do some more of my stretches and then go to bed. That's what I did yesterday. Thank you Oh, producer Will has news on David Squres, Proucer Will Wasn't Gaz Coomb's dad Or the drummer from Radio heads Freaking news.. Anyway, here is cheeseboard twenty twenty five twenty six. Five Jz, this is Je Kath Rites, dear David. Max and Mars Bar on the last M midwek mayayh have Max described owning a large ice cube trus decadent. Come here to encourage all to treat yourselves. A few years ago I was struggling to think of what to get my husband for Christmas. He buys everything he needs himself and already owns more vintage football shirts and Beatles' books than any one man could ever need. Like David, he also enjoys a negrroni with a big ice cube. so I invested in a tray for a cool of ten pounds. We now use the big ice cubes in every cold drink imaginable. Water, juice and GNTs all stay consistently cool because the cubes take forever to melt. Don't wait for the new house, David. The time for big ice cubes is now I would also like to take not eat a bullet for any what did you do yesterday fans still somehow invested in the kerdnel. If I may, I'd like to guess five cheeses that I consider sufficiently high in the hope of eliminating a few more possibilities. How we feel about this Y is dirty play. No it's not this is smart worle play. This is the way to do it Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire sorry, for a second I thought that was the name of the person making the guess No, Baron Bigo, also not the name of a person I, uh I Gabriole.
