WhiteClawSearch works, Chicago, Illinois. Podcasts, there are millions of them. Some might say too many. I have one already. I don't have any because there are enough. Politics business sport you name it. There's a podcast about it and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day. But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Are you afraid of being censored by the man? Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We're trying to say it at the same time, mate. What did you do yesterday? What did you do 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? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life.

2:04Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rochden. And I'm David O'Donnelly. Welcome to what did you do yesterday? What would you midweek make him? From the people that bring you what did you do yesterday? My name's Max Rochden. Alongside me, David O'Donnelly, hello David. See this relaxed look at my face? In part due to the fact that it's my favorite time of the week, in part due to the fact that I'm wearing the underpants that you gave me as a gift when you came to Dublin to do the last live show. Yeah. I am wearing the new Lululemons. And I think they're a bit shorter than I thought. Just a sort of trunky brief, as opposed to the boxer brief. I think that's what you're in for this. A trunky brief implies those little suitcases the children sit on that you put around the airport. I wearing the trunky briefs, if we also the back of them.

3:08Where they didn't move into briefs, they would that. That's an extra bit of merch. Anyway, thanks for having me at your house in Dublin. That was kind. Maris Bar left his towel here. Wow. Could be worth millions. Or do you think for merch we should cut it up and have it made into lots of tiny things? Flannels. Lots of like 20 flannels. 20 flannels. Sure. That is limited edition. I reckon there are 20 people listening and I don't have a Mars Bar flannel. Would you wash it first or would it be unwashed? Flannel of Mars Bar. What's smaller than a flannel? OK, well, lots of things. Is this sounds like what are your quizzes? Hey, do you have some feedback? Someone put the closing performance on the Reddit page. Oh, God. Red. The red label said, Max's commitment

4:09to absolutely rubbish bits of the show is always impressive. So to the listeners, we closed the Dublin show with special guest, the iconic Shane Daniel Burn, by singing Oranoko Flow. Say la way, say la way, say la way. By Anya. And a portal into space open above us. There's blowing the roof up. And that was the roof actually just gives way to connect directly with the celestial heavens. What it shows you is, because I think the show was great. And I think we had a great time at the audience loved it. But if you can lose an audience, however well things are going, they did sing because we thought the words would come on the screen and they didn't. When we stopped and we said, look, could you just do the sail away bit? Like just for us. They did half-heartedly go. They started singing it, but they didn't. Like I expected, you know, literally a whole room, like,

5:10bellowing it out. That's what was my shit anyway. This is disappointing. But in a way, I don't want to look at that video. I have a picture of it in my mind. It's kind of like when someone takes photographs of a party, like a house party that went crazy. And everyone was dancing. And then you see the photographs. And it's just the most sedate that appears to just be people standing in a city group. Can we blame Shane? That doesn't seem fair. Does it? No. He's not here. If he'd really taken the lead, you know, like it was sort of end-your-week on X-Factor, which is a week that I don't know. Whoever gets a R&O co-flow is lucked out on end-your-week. You know, if he'd gone for it like it was end-your-week, maybe. If this doesn't inspire you to buy tickets for our live show in Melbourne, which is 4 p.m. on the 3rd of April, isn't it? Good Friday. But then it raises another question that we would like some feedback on.

6:14You know, we successfully identified R&O co-flow as Ireland's song. You know what I mean? The one that will, from this video I haven't watched, it really sounds like it gripped the public's imagination. In the same way that we did Dancing in the Moonlight after the London show. Nothing says London like Dancing in the Moonlight, you know? So what is the Melbourne? What is Australia's song? You know, what is the one that people dare us to tackle? I suggested John Phanham's The Voice, and you said that's what Blank would do in certain name of comedian. A boring comedian. Who I didn't think you had that in you, that nasty side. And he said the trick is to do what Blank wouldn't do. So we could turn that into a quiz. Two basic, yeah, whatever it is. I would like some feedback from the Aussie listers, not from listeners, from other parts of the world, because they will all just suggest timey kangaroo dad.

7:15But I do think if you, if you sang John Phanham's The Voice at 5 p.m. Good Friday, bring the house down. Absolutely. And on the Melbourne show, Drew has been in touch with regards our friend who can't get from the sticks because of the transpoisture from Wadonga. The V line is running from Bournemouth to Melbourne. So maybe the lady can get to Bournemouth. Then she'll be right. That's what Drew says. If she makes it, well done, everybody, because lots of people have helped out. We're trying to get her there. So there we are. Tickets are available. How many of we saw? Have you checked Marsbot? No, I've not checked in recent times. It seemed to have the graph had someone say plateaued. I would say podiumed. OK, OK, yeah, yeah. Certainly there are spaces available. Maybe for every one space sold, there's a place you couldn't put a bag, which would be useful if you had been to the shops,

8:17which you can't, because it's good Friday. And I think everything should have Melbourne up there. What we could say is, if you've bought it for an extra $10, you can put a bag next to you. Like sort of Ryan Air vibes, put it all in there with these. The front. And you would eye right side with one of those box things to see if people are trying to be really uncomfortable. Someone's wearing all their coats, because they don't want it. So that's what we're saying is, if you have baggage, it's much better to do it online. Because if you get to the venue, it's then like $200 to bring a bag. If you want to hire a car, we have a deal going with Alamo. How many are coming so far, like 1,000? If all of you pick the Nissan Micro, we may not get the car of your choice. Frantically during the show, one of us is going to have to pop off and steal some cars from the CBD. I don't know which of us you'd be better than me.

9:17You know, you can fix bikes. That's one step away. In fact, there's so much room in the downstairs of Melbourne Town Hall, they can all drive like these two gigs during lockdown where everyone's sat in their cars, at a set of laughing, just beeped the horn. We may be able to bring that back. Oh, good Friday, the Town Hall, not good. It's surprising that no other artists have thought of charging for baggage in this way. Maybe it wouldn't be viewed well. Someone would go online going, can you see what they've done? I've got a 30 kilo bag, and I need to check it in to under the downstairs. And I'm going to come out just unapologetically, like Michael O'Leary. I'm going to be like, you're lucky we're not charging for you to do a shite. 50 cent for a P, a euro for a shite. They're the new prizes. Like it'll leave it. Let's do a bit of feedback on the Phil Ellis episode. And there is one part of the episode which has had a lot of reaction and understandably so. Teat race says I was actually crying with laughter

10:18at the bit about the movements. I thought Max and David might have overhyped at the beginning, but with the greatest disrespect getting my ass. And me howling. Big British Whale says a set of Max D.O.D. and Phil Ellis butt plugs needs to be wanted to say much priority. What a collab. They would need to get my health warning and advising against having one in it for life. To the listeners, there was a simple observation made how a movement, which I think we established as a finish flump really. Yeah, yeah, I think so. How's a sort of suppository like quality to them? Well, you did say with the greatest of respect to which I said, I don't think you can ever preface. You look like a butt plug with with the greatest of respect. Even I think if you were talking to a butt plug, I don't think Frostley says, actually goes, my wife asked me why I was laughing so much, but my son was there so I couldn't tell her.

11:19Dublin and steam max out of the absolute life-changing line with the greatest of respect, get in my ass. I don't think that was, I think that was Phil. And I haven't been able to breach with tears pouring down my eyes in laughter for the last two minutes. This episode should come with a health warning. Nick says disappointed we didn't get a classic odotti explainer when the butt plug was mentioned. Just for our less adventurous listeners, a butt plug. Yeah, it was a lovely episode. We put it in the top five, I would say, of my faves. We didn't spend enough time talking about the fact that Phil drinks a flask of builders tea before he goes to sleep. Yeah. That's insane. Not just a cup of tea. And even that is odd, like a cup of tea. Like, I'm just about to go to sleep and have a cup of tea. Having a flask of tea. Yeah, that's like maybe four cups of tea. But just before you go to, I mean, there are other parts of the diet that obviously require some analysis. But I had a flashback to the episode yesterday

12:21because I was on a British train with the curvy door. Oh, yeah, the curvy door. Someone knocked on us and Phil just yells out, would you fuck off after repeated requests over the door? But yeah, it has been remarkable. The number of people who do have tails of being on the curvy door bathroom British trains and the curvy door opening with the person, the stars in their eyes moment. Yeah. And also it's the doors too far away. You can't do it. The buttons too far away. There's nothing you can do. You know you're going to be revealed. It's like, you know, that's it. And it's so slow as well. It's too fast to get up and do anything. It's also slow that it makes the reveal just so agonizing. It's a terrible design. Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be passing a stool on the way from crew to Stockport.

13:22Good luck with that. Elaine says, dear, dear, dear to an Iron Man 3, in order to make sure Max's new quiz doesn't grow legs and take off, I'm going to grab the hidden Max Gave away and make an educated guess. This is the brand new quiz. Doesn't have a theme tune yet. Who was in the lounge at Perth Airport making a toast to you? Yeah. And I was thinking, this almost needs to go at the top of the episode because we've already got normal countries halfway through and curdle at the end, right? You've got to keep them apart. It's quite difficult with the number of quizzes we have. And that doesn't include the David Squires, Oxford United Fan, Sun, Whiz. I'm still playing with David Squires in like a side game that isn't broadcast anyway. Beachy's game is gone. At least. Yeah, that's true. I would bring it to five, the number of quizzes. The cheese toastie maker, Muncher at Perth Airport, Quantus Lounge, Professor Brian Cox. Incorrect. Keep up with the great work. I'll see you in Melbourne and God for a good Friday. Thank you, Elaine. So would you and producer Will like a guess?

14:23I mean, obviously Will's good at this. But David, would you like a guess? Who was making a toast to you? I've got a suggestion that comes from... I haven't written down their name. I will find it and say it if it's right. Someone suggested because he has been on tour in Australia recently, was it Star of QI and what did you do yesterday, podcast Alan Davies? If I'd seen Alan Davies making a toastie, I wouldn't have just peered at him, surprised, I'd have gone up to him and said hi. I see you're making a toastie. I can get a quiz out of this Alan. Never, I've never met this person ever. This is the closest I'm pretty sure I've ever been to this person. Whereas I've tackled Alan Davies on a football pitch. The shades of Taddington here. Yes, and what a great scent that is. That is the perfume that we should release shades of Taddington. Notes of Taddington are passing through my nostrils because part of the difficulty,

15:23I'm sure the listeners share this feeling with me is that we need to also climb inside the max cranium because it's who do you know? You know, it's not like Youngblood the rapper or something like that. It wasn't Youngblood the rapper. I can confirm that is, I'm not here for clues, but I'll give you the clue. I'm happy to say it wasn't a rapper. And I think that is, I'm basically giving it away. Producers, will I don't even, can't remember if you have produced this quiz yet? So you may not even know of the existence of this quiz, but you're so good at these damn things. I'm well aware of the existence of this quiz, Max. And it's astonishing that we found ourselves back at this point. Do you know what, this feels like the second lockdown. Yeah, absolutely. Just when we throw it out, I'm going to take a complete shot in the dark and I'm going to say Rob Briden, incorrect. OK. Thanks both for playing or play again next week.

16:25And now I feel this is tricky because we've got other... The feedback. You do this, the saying that's used on gambling ads when the fun stops. Now, I deal that specifically with the guy to gambling addiction, but I feel that's very soon going to happen here, Max. OK, so that's what I want the subject to, you know, the second lockdown. There was a thread on the Reddit page about you buying balloons. And Wahousham said, wasn't there another episode before where DOD was using those exact same water balloons? And then someone said, I think that was happening when he was trying to work out a title for his Edinburgh show. Someone said, time has flatlined. Now this is what's happening. Look, yes, that is true. This is the third lot of these balloons that I have bought because they are infinitely fun. There are a thousand situations brackets during the summer when, you know, your babysitting or hanging out with kids,

17:25I keep them in the car. You come back and they're like, this agent of chaos has just made our day. The reason these ones are significant and they're still on the desk beside me, is that the bunch of balloons were in the bargain section of the middle aisle. So they were 30% off. I forgot they were called bunch of balloons. I love bunch of balloons. Anyway, let's play their just normal countries. I am the one and only. What country could I be? I am the one and only. Where in the world could our listeners be? Welcome to that just normal country. So here we are, everybody. Madagascar and maybe a Costa Rica. Oh, hang on. That just normal country's this episode is from the live show, isn't it? Oh, we're going to drop that one in.

18:26Yeah, we were said we would do that. Oh, my goodness. The person at the live show. Whoa, there was a major incident during their just normal countries at the live show. Oh, that's true. Yeah, well, hang on, this will all be on the tape. We don't need to, we can just throw to the tape. OK, well, I'll sing the theme music to their just normal countries. OK, yeah, yeah. From Bali to Cali, far beneath the carol sea, we can sail. We can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away. Play the tape. Thank you. The, this is, I mean, I should explain it to people who haven't. I think if they haven't listened to the podcast, it's therefore. The, this is countries in the world that had one listened on the first of March. Is that right, Mars Bar? I think it was July. 2025. Yeah. We've been doing this for a very long time. We have found six of the eight countries in the world. No, no, no, no, we've found four of the six.

19:26Four of the six countries. It's good when the person explaining it gets everything wrong. It's such a confident way of explaining it. Country so far. Madagascan, there may be a Costa Rica, Uganda, North Korea, Guyana, Northern Mariana Islands, Bhutan, Brunei, Nepal, Eswatini, U.S., Virgin Islands, Equatorial Guinea, Samarino, Listerstein, Turkmenistan, Seychelles, Mauritius, Georgia, Vatican City, Oman, Fiji, Vanuatu, Bolivia, Ferro Islands, Belarus, Palau, Aruba, Ecuador, Iraq, Gabon, Eritrea, Andora, Peru, Reunion, Greenland, the Gambia, Ivory Coast, Bulgaria, the Son of Ireland, Sri Lanka. They're calling it the group of dead. OK, so one person is going to take part. And this is going out on the next week's midweek, man. Oh, yeah, this has been recorded for it. It's being recorded for it. So you'd imagine the real ripple of excitement that really come across when the people are.

20:28We must come to the next live show, because these guys are loving it. You'd have thought Louise, because you'd made a t-shirt that you'd be asked on, but the rules are in a live show. And I'm so sorry, there's nothing we can do about these rules. There's nothing we can do about these rules. Is you have to have a name that is a country, and we did this in Hackney and someone put the hand up and said, my name's Jennifer Surinam, and we all laughed, and we wouldn't let them all, and actually their name was. Jennifer Surinam. I've produced ID. Does anyone have a first or a second name that is a country? Is there Jeff Pappanugini here, or something? It's your name, Argentinian, and he's right for us. George, but you know, no, no, no, no, no. You can have a different guess, but your name is a country. And if you are into contention. Do you want to play? Do you want to come up and play? All right, George, everybody. Thank you. Max did this the last time. Why have you invited Georgia? Oh, Georgia was right.

21:28Georgia, thank you so much for coming up. Thanks, Georgia. So we're looking for a country with one lesson first of July 2025. Georgia, John asked the audience to see if you get a few suggestions. Anyone got an idea? Chad. Cape Verde, Turkmenistan. Can I go with Suriname? We're going to go with Suriname. We're going to go with Suriname. This is exciting. So the guess is Suriname. We go. Do you have an answer for it? You know the country's, don't you? I do know the country's so exciting. I know Max doesn't like clues. I do not. Well, do not. Holy shit. You've been up to here. You've been up to here. There's nothing worse than cheating at a radio slash podcast quiz. Is the answer Jordan Henderson? Is he one of the countries? One of the correct answers was shout out. Oh.

22:30OK, we're allowed to reload then. Are we? I imagine it was shared in a but not sad. I think the quiz is barely going. If we start throwing out, can we have one more bite at the cherry? OK. Just kiss your all from Dublin and you're from Dublin. What did you, what do you, what do you reckon, Georgia? Cape Verde. Is the, you can't know. You don't have access to the numbers. The Mars bar has. Georgia. Thank you. Thank you, Georgia, everybody. But it does feel like people could maybe be able to deduce something from that there. Whether the audience sounds will come on the podcast

23:30when that is played. Hey, I've always got, I've always got new quizzes. That was a little snippet of what these live shows are like. So if you are in Melbourne and you still haven't been convinced, now surely. I'm in fear now because from what people are saying, maybe the true joy of the live show didn't come across from the clip that was on the Reddit thread. So what if we've just played out an absolute turn there? And you've just finished it by going, what a night. We will never forget that. But we should say there was a lot of love in the room. It's not like us to sort of, you know, we're not those kind of people to say, if you want to be successful, here's how to live. That's just not the vibe. Sure. People know it was great. I don't think Vika Street, although we did mention that Bob Dylan had played there while we were showing a photo of someone's clothes horse that Dylan had stepped on.

24:31But I don't think anyone has been more entertained than Vika Street than they were after that kick. Funny enough, I have a question for you. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's all change. We had you in London for the previous records. You came to Dublin for this great event. Yeah. Now you've returned to Australia. Yeah. I want to know what a globe trotter like you. What did you do yesterday? What time did you get up at? It's a good question. Yeah. Somebody, the talk show is their live on YouTube. Somebody, the first message we got on Saturday night was you can tell when Max is in Australia from his eyes. Straight in. 6.35 yesterday morning. Oh, I hear that. Align. Yeah. Will he rush it and wakes up? So what I do at the start is I give him a book. There's a book called Love is a Truck. He likes it. Wow. I sort of put it in the cot. And then he sits down sometimes and reads it to himself.

25:32I mean, he's, I think that's maybe giving him too much credit. But he's definitely sort of turning some pages and pointing and making some sort of gurgling noises. Love is a truck. Does sound like a country raster in song. Yeah. Pro Trump. We got to defend our borders with gun. Yeah. And trucks and oil. That's great. Love oil. Dig for oil. Woody doesn't believe in renewable energy either. So that's. He loves this stuff. This truck stuff is great. If you're lucky, he might do that for 15 minutes. But this time he pretty quickly stands up and throws the book out. So that's then it's sort of my time to read it to him. So I read it to him for a while. Then we get another book called Polar Bear. Polar Bear, what do you hear? And then the polar bear hears like a walrus bellowing or like a zebra brain. It's a good chance to do some impressions of animals, right? Which, you know, according to seven, I'm there to do. Interruption. Yes, David. What happens in love as a truck? Sorry, back to that. Just is there a plot or is there just like examples of this is a big blue truck?

26:37It's more poetic than that. Love is a truck shining as new lights and sirens that go. This is a landed Cohen's look. Love is a fire engine as red as a heart. Ladder truck spotted dog on the back. I heard that there is a secret corner in the day. Love is a jump truck rounded with dirt. A bulldozer, a digger, a rolling cement mixer. Love is a kid who lights them all up biggest to smallest color by color. I think I may be a Mr. Page. Anyway, it's just, it's got a nice vibe to it. Like, I like it. I prefer it to Polar Bear, Polar Bear. What can you hear? I can hear a flamingo floating in my ear. And then it's true. It's the same artist as hungry caterpillar. And so it looks cool. And then I don't know how would you do a flamingo floating? Hmm. Oh, do I need to say something? It's down to personal.

27:37Like that. I go. A bit like a batman. You know, when the scene changes in Batman, yeah, yeah. Exactly that. The moral is better when it's fun. Then I just go, hello, which I mean, listen to the Christmas things that might sound a little bit like my daughter. 100 year old taught us. We're very different sounds. It does seem quite bleak. But what I've got from this is that these Polar Bearers are in a zoo. Yeah. As opposed to in the natural habitat where we just be like, what do you hear? Absolutely nothing. The sound of nothingness. The gaping echo of tundra and nothingness. Or just one polar bear on that bit of iceberg that's floating towards this egg mess. Yeah. Fuck. I want the wrong bit. I'm on the wrong bit, guys. We're leaving today and entering a world of Mickey Mouse waving. Princess meeting in greetings. Lightsaber clashing. The twilight zone tower of terror dropping.

28:39Banshee flying. Space mountain launching. Galaxy rewinding. What's the one that look galaxy rewinding? Bioworks igniting. The world of other worlds. For whatever you love. Infinite worlds away at the most magical place on earth. Walt Disney World Resort. So good, so good, so good. Spring styles are at Nordstrom Rack stores now. And they're up to 60% off.

Soil offer excludes a lasker in Hawaii, loyalty program subject to terms and conditions. Sealows dot com slash terms for details subject to change. Point booster subject to exclusions and more terms apply. One time on the offer. Anyway, start 10 to seven. I'm up with Willie. We're in the living room. Jamie and Ian are in Ian's room. Jamie serves as a 715 Ian still asleep. It's like a teenager. But what's happened here? Anyway, it's porridge time. There's a bit of train work. I've bought in from the transport museum in London. I bought a tube train and a overland. Weaver line train. So that's good stuff. We're enjoying that in the Brio style or in the Brio style. Yeah, but they've got sort of wheels that sort of bend. So it's quite a long tube carriage, but it's quite, it can get around little tight corners. So here's the question that you will definitely know the answer to. What line of tube train? As you know, the central line trains are different to the big early line trains. Well, yes, he's saying it's a central line.

30:41I think actually, I mean, it's interchangeable. But we'll go with central line for this. That's what we're going with. I have some porridge. You always have some porridge. It's bin day. There's still a bit of rubbish. I've forgotten the bathroom bin. And I hear the truck. I do like to get all the rubbish out on bin day because we create quite a lot of rubbish. And so I run out and I throw that in the bit. I actually throw in next door's bin because I was so full. But at this time, I think it's fair game. Many bin is fair game. You know, because the trash truck is coming down the road. I guess. And actually, once you've put the bin out the front, you're saying, we're done. Fill your boots, guys. You're declaring, you know what I mean? This is all of the rubbish that we have. Do you read some of lovers of truck to the bin truck operators? Have they ripped those bins? Of course. I might have stopped. And I put them in the cot. And then I read it to them. And then they carry on their way. Cath from 12, number 12 has taken our recycling bin again.

31:43That's a good fun. That's sort of back and forth. Because there's a spare recycling bin that she's taken arm on with our number on it. So then I wheel that back. Then I'm off to take the boys to Batman Park. Oh, yeah. That is making it sound more exciting than it is. You know, it's got all the things you need. A slide, some swings. The seesaw is a hit. So that's good. The listeners may not be aware of this. But the reason it's called Batman Park, I would imagine is because one of the founders, one of the possibly pre-goldrush founders of Melbourne was a man called Adam West. No, he was called John Batman. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. And he wanted Melbourne to be called Batmania. Wow. Imagine if there was a city called Batmania. If there was a city called Batmania, do you think that ever have been Batman? Or you just wouldn't have been able to make Batman? It certainly would have been sat there. There's no way Gotham. But the problem is because it's Melbourne, it doesn't really have that sort of dark, undercarriage that you need.

32:47You know what I mean? If Batmania... You'd have to film it all in like two days in June. Yeah, but even then, it's going to be like... Oh, someone's moved the witches' hats from around the construction. We have a superhero in Australia, they're called road modes, which is a... Who's fair, the witches' hats? That's what it is. Do do do do do do. Thank you. Yeah, I go home with Ian. Sophie arrives without Sophie. I'm not to get a coffee. I do some work. I get a black coffee from a failure. I watch the match of the day. I do some script for the pod. It's a nice time. Jamie arrives. And we have a big diary meeting. Okay, another coffee. Strong to be called a flat white. It's great. So she's arrived in Ophelia then. Yeah, she's arrived in Ophelia. Yeah, yeah. And Sophie has both the kids. She hasn't eaten breakfast. She's hungry, which is one of her special moves where she doesn't eat until 10 a.m. And complains about big hungry. And so we get the doughnut and she's happy. And that's great. And we write a big list of things we have to do.

33:48Yes, David. Well, you were off guarding about in London. Yeah. Austin Powers style. She had a great time. I would say she was like. It's like when you realize we don't even need that guy anymore. Oh, there was some of that. She did say the house is. It's easier to keep the house tidy. She didn't sleep for. Well, she didn't sleep for 10 days. Yeah. Whitney Russian decided to stop sleeping for those 10 days. That was great. That really worked well for everyone. And in the years to come, we're all thankful. Jamie, thank you. So then I came home a bit early, which I would say makes me the hero. But I'm not sure that is the real truth of these things. Well, to the listeners, we did this great show in Dublin. Yeah. And then if Dublin has one thing going for it, it has a bunch of pubs that you got to go to. But that was somewhat undermined by the fact that you had to get up at 4.45

34:50the next morning. Still, as we approached midnight, you know, when like me and Mars Barber were definitely feeling the fact that you want to kick on. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, we would have gone somewhere. But no, we were happy to come back here and drink. There's sparkling water and not builders tea. No, it was a really great 30 hour transit after that. Four hour sleep on a lilo. That's fun. It wasn't a lilo. This, oh my goodness, we are currently trying to move out of this house. And therefore what I did was gone. I would say it's the highest quality air mattress in the world at the moment. Oh, wow. Okay. And there was just so many little lilo. Just as Mars Bar got the actual mattress. He got a bed. That's why I couldn't work out. He got a bed. Because he was sleeping in it for more than four hours. I see. It was the amount of time you get. I would have thought because I had less time, I would get the real comfort. But I understand.

35:50He pulls the strings. He's the man to keep on sight. You know, I'm in it for life, right? But whereas Mars Bar won wrong move and he could say, screw you guys. So I understand. Listen, I was on board with your decision. I've slept on that one so many times. It is so. Oh my. Okay. Go on with your day. It sounds like you are. It doesn't sound like you are. I did want to apologize to you though. Because on stage, I did a joke about the color of your shirt, which could go into clobber banter. And I hate that so much because Shane had some very orange paper. And now on reflection, you were right to pick up on how orange the paper was. It was just the same color as your shirt, but I didn't mean to criticize your clothing. Yes. And Shane had written out sections of his yesterday on quite a hard card that made it seem like a letter from Bridgerton that had been written from the front line, but also was on bright orange paper that I acted to mark.

36:52And then you pointed out it was the same color as what I was wearing, but I'm sorry about that. It was like, it made it feel like a roast. Didn't it? That's what it was like. We write big list of things to do. And then we look at houses we can't afford in Stoke, Newington. Get home at midday. I make a chicken sandwich with stuffing because we've got like a cooked chicken with stuffing the day before. Yeah. So that's nice. A bit of rocket chicken stuffing, chicken stuffing, rocket, and some Nando's perineze sauce, which is in the fridge. Oh, yeah. Ian and I are on an adventure, David. I'm missing his fourth birthday this Saturday because the Guardian are sending me to Texas to crack America, right? What is good is. One of my yesterday's fall on a day where I'm somewhere different and interesting is we can't change things. You just get this day. Anyway, so I feel I'm sad about that. I don't know, Vin. Okay. So we're going to. I'm going to South by Southwest, which makes me sound like a jet setter. Absolutely ridiculous. You're ridiculous. Me and Ian are going to a steam train exhibition yard like all these steam trains on steaming

37:58up and down tracks. And Ian loves train. He loves trains. Yeah, he does. That's the one thing we know. It's very busy. It's only open like three days a year or something this and it's a public holiday. So I park like I see a little parking spot, a few hundred meters away. So I park there and I carry Ian and it's about eight minutes. I've got a walk of carrying Ian and that's fine. I enjoy that. And then we look at some steam trains and Ian loves steam trains on the TV and he loves tiny Brio ones, but big ones are a bit loud for him. So he doesn't really love them. So we're not there for very long. It's an interesting demographic, right? Because there's sort of kids, parents with kids who love trains. And then there's the people who really love trains. There's the adults. Yeah, train spotting. Yeah, community. And it's a nice community. And I'm always sort of totally fascinated by anyone who loves anything this much.

38:59Like I'm sort of interested a little bit in anything, but really I don't think I'm interested in anything. When I look at their commitment to steam trains and the knowledge of the, they all look pretty similar to me, like I don't want to be racist about trains. I love that you were saying this and then on your football podcast, you'll have a 15 minute discussion on shin guard height, I'm not really interested in anything. Yeah. So my grandfather passed away just a few days after I was born. And get left for me a model railway. But it was really difficult. I didn't, I didn't really get into it till I was about 11 or 12 and it was an old tin plate at Hornby proper train set from the early 60s, I would say. Right. A railway aficionados. It was Hornby, double, but the one with the center rail that the power went down. So if you lay your finger over it, you could get a little shock off it. And I had it on a big piece of wood in my bedroom for quite some time set up.

40:07But what I'm saying is while I was interested in it, I would go to model railway shop sometimes and there would be older guys in particular there. And what I did get from them is at the train to them. And this is me in the 80s looking at 70 year old men. The train represented such a specific thing to them because it represented the potential I think of the rest of the world that you lived in a small village. And then they put a train station there. And this is the era where you could get a train ticket with like Cairo written on it that involved you getting 56 trains from the west of Ireland to Egypt. So I do, I'm not saying that Ian Rochedard, this is how he feels about them. But those old dudes, you know, the train goes really deep with them. We are, I mean, everyone just wants to belong, don't they, somewhere, and these guys belong

41:08with the trains. Ian doesn't belong with the trains. We sit down for a snack and it's still too noisy. We get near a train that looks like Thomas the tank engine. We queue up to go in and then he doesn't want to go in. And we sit on some grass to eat our snacks and then he wants to go home. I'm so thirsty, it's so hot and I pour him a snacks, but nothing for me. And the queue for the drinks is a mile long. So we go home, I walk out, he wants to be carried. So I carry him like you're carrying a boulder from the world's strongest man. He won't go to my shoulders, right? So I'm holding him like that and I'm walking for about probably 15 minutes. I realize I've walked the wrong way. And this is, when I realize this is absolutely devastating because now I know I have to walk all the way back and then back again. And I was thinking about quite often, you get lots of reels about parenting and how amazing it is. I mean, a save every second. And it's from people who clearly are past the stage of having children, you know, they're young children and they're sort of, they're looking back very much of rose tinted spectacles.

42:10And one of the things that often comes up is, you know, there will come a time when you last pick up your child, right? Because, you know, when they're 24, you don't really, and you're like, oh, that is true. But at this time, when I'm half an hour in and I'm trying to think this is great incidental fitness, I'm not getting to the gym. I am thinking, be good maybe tomorrow if it's the last time. Maybe this is the last time I, he just says, actually, I'll walk your fine tomorrow because I'm like, so I'm like, sweat, it's like 30 degrees, I'm sweat is all over me. Eventually, I say you've got to go on my shoulders and he doesn't want to go on my shoulders, but he's on my shoulders and he's complaining and he's really unhappy about it. And I'll say, look, just to that yellow sign and the, and as we get to the yellow sign and the car is right there, and I didn't, I thought it was further away. So that's a relief. And then surely traveling on shoulders and again, it's similar to picking up your child for the last time. It's probably something I will never do again, like, we would need a bit, we'd need ozman to, can I get up in your shoulders? I'm not sure it's the height of the person that it takes.

43:12It's not like he's constantly giving people a lift on his shoulders because he's six for that. He is. Marina Hyde. That's how him and Marina had traveled around London. And also imaginative, I got up on his shoulders and like, what, what gig are we out here? Yes. It's like a summer in the park, blur a gig or something. That would be, you're accidentally standing behind kid and play. So you have to be, you have to say, Richard, can I get on your shoulders, please? Well, if he ever falls on hard times, he could, I have pitched off the odd idea to, I'm not going to pitch that idea to him. I don't think, I don't think he needs to be reminded that he's tall. My point is, how does he not want to go on your shoulders? That's the supreme executive way to travel. I agree with you, but he wants to be carried like a boulder from the world's strongest point. And no other way. And that, for my triceps, is really quite a hard work. Anyway, I'm so desperate. I suddenly get this urge for a Coke Zero.

44:12I reckon this happens to me once every six months, you know, sometimes when you just want, this is the most like an advert we've ever had. You just want a Coke, you know, like it's very rare. But when me and Jamie did the chinket era back when we were free, all we did the Verdun Gorge, then you know, you need a fizzy drink. Anyway, I'm so desperate. The first mouthful of Coke, we stop at a petrol station. I say to Ian, we need to fill up with petrol. We don't. And then I don't fill up with petrol, but I just get a can of Coke Zero and I have a sip of it. And it's just like heaven. I drink it too fast. And then, you know, when you drink Coke too fast, then it's sort of like quite painful. But, you know, I don't show the pain. I do remember drinking Coke at birthday parties when I was little and then eat a Mars bar. And then when you drank the next bit of Coke, you got a sort of gravely effect in the back of your throat because some of the caramel had probably stuck there. Sorry. Yeah. I'm just reminiscing there. Yeah. That's a great time to reminisce. We drive home.

45:13Ian wants an apple. So we stop at Peter Montaise, the supermarket, we get an apple. Then we get some more things. There's no basket. So I'm sort of piling things up like Buckaroo, watermelon, peanut butter, crisps, crackers, bread roll, granola, corn chips. Well, I managed to get there without dropping it all down. We get home and Jamie takes it in swimming and me and William at home on a day. Yeah. We're outside with the Sprint Clemmie and Willie. He's in the Cubby House the day before, not relevant, but he got his head stuck in the window. So he's got a kind of Chelsea smile on one side of his face. When you say head stuck in the window, I'm imagining is it one of those ones with the little tourney thing on the window. So he goes, it makes the Batman sound as it goes out then. He sure he didn't smash his head through the window. No, it's like a two plastic doors, but if you open only one plastic door and your head is the size of Willie Russian's head, you stick your head through, it can go out but can't go back in again. So we sort of had a moment where we had to sort of wrench his head back through the window,

46:14which he didn't enjoy. Anyway, so he's got that kind of red mark sort of going up one side just from his lip. The third of his mouth all the way up and then in the morning at the park, he smacks his face on some tan box. So there's sort of a sort of red mark on his face and there's not streaming down his face. But he's having a good time because they heal like the terminator. We put on a Spotify playlist and I'm really embracing the, he's not going to be like this forever. So we spend an hour of him picking up a table tennis ball and throwing it and then we chase it and we just carry on doing that. Alongside this, we hear common people so much love to give white lines. You've got the love Babylon, you're a superstar. Only love can set you free and Travis is driftwood. There's some dancing, there's some tambourine and maracas work. It's good fun. It's good, you know, this is good holds of stuff. It's Willie kicking a ping-pong ball around while listening to white lines by Grandmaster

47:15Flash that I'm particularly enjoying here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, enjoy it. I'm making rice and I'm spreading some turmeric on Baramundi fillets. It's dinner in a box, dinner in a cardboard box, but Jamie's made the curry part of it. Jamie and Ian get back. You can't do that. Oh, she's made it from the box earlier. Sorry, I thought she was bringing extra to the box. No, no, she's made for the box earlier. I'm just doing the rice and the fish. Denivist like Bedlam, it's like this hour of exhausting chaos where Willie is mainly throwing rice around Ian is complaining that he doesn't like non-breds and wanting individual grains of rice to be cooled down, we're eating our turmeric, Baramundi, probably not in the style that they envisaged is my imagination. There's lots of both of us just kind of looking to the sky and saying, just going, that happens a lot. That happens a lot. I would have eaten it like the way top cast eats a fish, where just the whole fish goes

48:18in. Yeah. And then just the fish bones are come out. Well, you know, if you could get Willie to eat in that clean away, that would be great, but the fish we give him is less bony. We feel it's harsh to say, learn how to bone your own fish. And you know, when I say bone, your own fish, I mean in that sense, not in that sense it's over. It's over. Willie goes in the bath. Ian hasn't TV time. Which is, you know, our dustpan, and this is good stuff, has a kind of a middle plastic ebit. So you can like dustpan rice off the floor. You have to wash the dustpan and brush afterwards, but it's the quickest way of doing it. So we're both on our hands and knees on the floor, like cleaning up rice. Willie's eating chalk. Ian is watching Thomas the Tank Engine. I'm watching Rangers fans in blue, Lycra, Balaklava's offering out Celtic fans on the Ibrox pitch after the old firm, Darby. I was a funny kind of football hooligan that wears a, a blue light, looks like the blue man group. It's like the blue man group of said, right, let's get in on the firm and we'll open it.

49:21It's called it to seven and I opened the one kind of a side here. I wasn't planning to drink it, I just need it, which I think is a positive way to view alcohol. Yeah. And 10 past seven, I go into the shed for football weekly. So we do that with Barry and George Ellic and Sandy Rudravajala and that is a good episode. Haven't listened to it yet, but I will. I'm saving it. It's timeless. And then I check to tire the producer for a little bit about people that broadcast as I don't like. Oh, yeah. That's really good fun. He's like, I do this other podcast with this guy who just sits there saying interruption. Then it might be like 830 Jamie still up, but we're both really tired. So I just go to bed, probably in bed at 10 to 9 sleep. And that's it. You don't have to get up at, sometimes you leave a little pause here, like come up and see me and make me smile. Yeah. And I get up at 11 and do another ratio three of the morning, no, there's none of that.

50:27It's just a sleep. And we go into the night and that's a different one. Did it hit you hard, the old laggers this time, or were you just simply not allowed to experience it? I mean, Jamie had a tougher time than I did. She had 10 days of two children and one of them not sleeping and the other one getting up at half five. But you know, I went straight from your lie low. Oh, man. You know, onto an aeroplane, onto another aeroplane, onto another aeroplane, landed, got home at 10 day a night and Willie was awake and I was just, you know, I was given the keys. And rightly so. And yeah, I had one. I can't remember what stay it was. Maybe it was the next day or the Saturday when I had radio eight till 10 and at seven p.m. I was like, I can't, I'm going to sleep now and I don't think I'll wake up. I just don't think I will. Sam Campbell has a great joke about a drinking five cups of coffee and an inflating and air mattress. And it's like you're sleeping on a tiramisu. So maybe there's a more, now at Christmas, we had Helen copter is a lot over and cooked

51:32a big turkey salted in a bag for ages, veggies when people brought different stuff, I brought some cheese. Yeah. Oh, and Z. Helen's brother brought some cheese. We blended the cheese board into a five cheese board. And I wonder, would anyone like to try and guess what the five cheeses were? Let's play Cuddle I. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Four. Three. Two. One.

52:35This is from Diana in a place called Guelph in Ontario in Canada. Wow. What a great name of a place. Guelph. G-U-E-L-P-H. Hello. What did you do yesterday, gang? I've been listening from the very beginning, I adore this podcast. It's the perfect blend of pure chaos and silliness, exactly the kind of nonsense I need to survive. Max's commitment to gaming integrity is so unhinged in my quality. It's borderline psychotic, but at the same time, absolutely brilliantly entertaining. So without further ado, here are my normal cheeses for David's five cheese board. Three. Oh, thank you so much. Three. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Kefili. Bing. Wow. E-Damn. Kefili. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Gabine. Oh. Now, at the live show, we did a live cheese board.

53:40Yeah, we did. Don't give away all the things we do. And one of the cheeses that that was what you might say, there was a high cheese and a low cheese. All right. Okay. And there could be a low cheese here. I just everyone's guessing these, there, there is a number of times of cheese. There's normal cheese. There's not normal cheese. And we know that these are normal cheeses. So it's a three and a half cheese board, isn't it? Because we know that Brian Cashelberg in the right place, Kefili is, it's only got two spots that can go in, right? If you would like to try and guess where the cheeses go, if you would like to guess who Max, or in the Quantas lounge in Perth Airport, or if you would like to guess one of the countries in the world that had one listen to this podcast as at the first of March, I think 2025, here is how to get in touch.

54:51Can I say, we really need somebody, like if you're listening early on the day of release, because we're recording another Mayhem tomorrow. So this will feature on David's yesterday, this bit will feature, maybe this little bit of a conversation we'll have will feature on his yesterday, but we do need a guess for the cheese board. So if you're thinking, well, I don't need, I'm too busy to guess the cheese. We need someone to do curdle, and they're just normal countries like ASAP, that is important for continuity purposes to keep this thing going. Such a mundanity on the podcast, I think if you're complaining about mundanity, I have to let you know something David, you've got all the rest of your life of this, everything is so busy.

55:57Monster Energy Everybody knows white monster, zero ultra, that's the OG, it kicked off this whole zero sugar energy drink thing, but ultra is a whole lineup now.
