WDWDY #63: Faulty Bike Seats

0:00... Podcasts, there are millions of them. Some might say too many. I have one already. I don't have any, because there are enough. Politics, business, sport, you name it. There's a podcast about it, and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day. But nobody is covering the most important topic of all. Why is that? Are they scared? Too afraid of being censored by the man? Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We're trying to say it at the same time, Max. 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 guests got up to yesterday. Nothing more. Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life. Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushton. And I'm David O'Donnelly. Welcome to what did you do yesterday? My name is Max Rushton.

1:00And alongside me for the journey, for the rest of his life, David O'Donnelly. Hello, David. And twiddling the knobs today is producer Will. We don't give him a shout out at the start, but I don't think he's important enough. Is he included in it for a life to see how to keep doing this? Where do you get to a sort of Sir George Martin producing the Beatles? Yes, sir. He'll have to be like, Oh, sorry, Paul. I've got to go and record this stupid podcast where we both talk about cheese. He's younger than us though. So like when we're 90 and he's 75 and he'll be like, actually, those are still boys. Are still kicking? He wants to enjoy his retirement in his little cottage in the cotton world. And we'll be like, sorry, we've got another one. one. We've got another. We want to talk to Nish Kumar about his 90-year-old bals. Come on. Now, there's lots of things to get through. Now, we need to plug the live show in Melbourne.

2:03It says it with five exclamation marks at the top of this Google doc. David, I don't know why so many. We haven't checked. Maybe we're sold out. I checked. Okay. Yeah. I checked the numbers. What are the numbers? I mean, flat lining is the term that's overused. And normally it would imply death, you know what I mean? But not in this case, it implies a sleeping giant, of course. A certain cohort, almost two eager people have bought, but now the real legends are just waiting to pounce. I ask you when the tiger is squatting in the long grass about to eat a family. Is it dead? No. It's just waiting to pounce. I'm slightly surprised that our idea of charging people for baggage right now didn't suddenly inspire a thousand more people to buy things. Anyway, Freya, who is says she's from Perth Slash London,

3:03says, on your most recent app, you asked for suggestions for the most famous Australian song for the Melbourne live show. Yes. Having been at the OG Hackney live show thoroughly enjoying the rendition of Dancing in the Moonlight, I'll also be at the Melbourne show and the two iconic choices have to be either down under by men at work or never tear us apart by in excess. Thanks, Freya. I'm worried that David will file them both under what would insert boring comedians would do. No, that feels rude to Freya, but like they're too obvious for a man of David's whimsy, I say. Well, I mean, I have a feeling that if you had your way, we would do Natalie and Bruelly as follow-up single to torn. Big mistake, right? So there's a spectrum here that I'm trying to deal with Natalie. Because you're down on your knees. It's too late. That's a great song. It's a great song. Did she sing? Didn't want to leave you with the last impression?

4:09Is that Natalie? I don't know. I'm not sure. Talk. I'm going to look sometimes we wonder if we're going to retain our audience. I think it's moments where David is googling songs to check. Wrong impression. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. What I sang was the lyric, didn't want to leave you with the last impression, but in fact, that's what you do want to leave someone with, really. Yes, you're right. Natalie is a smart enough songwriter to realize that wrong impression is a pop rock song by Natalie from 2001. So she's got so many hits. We could do a medley. We do Natalie and Bruelly immediately. I'm so down for that. On the clarinet, leave out torn. That's the thing. Leave that one out. Just the other. Sean says, dear Donald's generic man three in Mars, but I just wanted to write to let you know how wonderful the recent live show in Dublin was to be there in the same room where Bob Dylan had previously played to witness David

5:10act out how he lowers himself balls first into a bath with quite a treat. And what a further treat it was to look over to my beautiful partner of eight years to find a look of absolute bafflement on her face. We're getting married later this year and dragging her along to this esoteric town hall meeting and still have her want to go ahead with it was a real confirmation that I've made the right choice. In it for life, our marriage and the podcast, everything is showbiz, lots of love. Sean, thank you, Sean. I was somewhat taken aback by in the last episode, there was a segment from, they're just normal countries from the live show played. Yeah, yeah, it really sounds ridiculous. I won't say it sounds awful, but we are just talking a whole lot of rubbish. I don't think I would be moved to tears by how profound hearing a segment, like that is the stupidest segment that we do, you'd have to say, really, to hear a lady show Cape Verde and people go, the greatest bit of that, sorry, of the live, the live

6:16app was Shane Daniel Bern making scrambled eggs in the microwave and a thousand people booing him and they're saying that he put mayonnaise in the eggs before we put in the microwave and then not just booing, but like visceral hatred from a crowd of people about making scrambled eggs in the microwave. Jim says, regards the Phil Ellis episode and my line to you going, you can't preface someone looks like a butt plug with all due respect. I don't believe that gets you out of that hole. He says, I put it to you so you knew exactly what you were doing when you said, I don't believe that gets you out of that hole on the Phil Ellis episode. So I'm not quick enough to have made a butt plug based gag about that, but if I have the opportunity, every episode of May have to say, with a great respect, it's at my ass. I will happily do it. The butt plug looking community are broader than you think. It was originally a quote from Noell Edmond, Senator Blobby. Yeah, Blobby's the OG. Magnop says, lifelong 52 year old Moonman fan who's off to Finland

7:24this summer to visit said theme park in her life. Kat says, not me wearing my Moonman pajamas listening to this center of the known universe. Megan, I have a Moonman story. Who knew hearing my name over the Tanoi at Helsinki Airport beckoning me back to the Moonman shop where I'd been browsing fluffy Moonman products early. It was a peak highlight of my life. I generally thought I'd want a lifetime supply of Moonman mugs or a one way ticket to Moonman Valley. I rushed back heart pounding. Anyway, I just left my bank card there. Everything really is showbiz. Always up for a collab. Please do a live show somewhere in Margate. Thank you. Wow. It is remarkable. I vaguely knew what the Moonmans were, but then to have been thrust into their midst for the last whatever week and a half since we recorded the Phil Ellis episode. It is strange that a country, a Scandinavian country is associated so much with ones like Pippi Longstocking. I think is Norway's Moonmans maybe.

8:26Have I got that right? Is she Norway, Pippi Longstocking? I don't know, but what's fun about this is you mentioned something and then a hundred people tell you that someone right now is dressed as Pippi Longstocking listening to this and they can give us the inside track on Pippi Longstocking. Your Google is, it's funny, your algorithm is going to be funny because all you've looked up and Natalie and Brilliant songs are Pippi Longstocking. The last 50-year-old man spiking her in Bay in Kent says, dear D.O.D. Mars bar and the voice of football, having just isn't to D.O.D. describe Moonmans as butt plugs. I checked with a friend who used to be an A&E nurse and she had never had to remove a movement on an anus. Thank you spiked for asking. However, she had encountered a weable, various Lego people, the head of a My Little Pony and Gordon from Thomas the Tank Engine. Wow, the controller really, he shunted in the wrong direction there. It's the top of Matt. Gordon

9:32is actually quite of the engine. Gordon is quite a big face. It's quite big. You'd be better off, you know, be Thomas or Percy. If I had to have one of them up there, I would go with one of the more sleek, like the Flying Scotsman type design, which has an aerodynamic font on it as opposed to an old school. The young Ian loves the Maglev line and I think in Japan they're sort of shink, they're called shinkasen, shinkasen. Right, yeah. They have a real, they're the gateway of this, I would say. They're very sort of long sleek nose, sort of like a smooth, yeah, front of a concord. That would be fine. You barely noticed that. I wish I'd want to start with the bagel line. Like that. Here it is. Do you want to play who is in the lounge at Perth Airport? Oh my goodness. I haven't thought about this. Yes, I would love to. I would absolutely.

10:36Okay. Have we established that it was a gentleman? I think so. Okay. But no more clues. I'm going to say, and I can't remember his name, but you will be able to help me. Oh, I remember his name. Tony Hadley, the lead singer of Standout Ballet, because we need someone who might have been traveling back and forth. You would imagine he could have been on an X factory type show in Australia. Yeah, that's true. Australia loves Standout. I would imagine. And you don't know him well enough to go up to him if you saw him making. I would also, sorry, one more thing. If you listen to all their songs, there is always a reference to a toasted cheese sandwich. That's true. That's true. It's incorrect, but I do like the reasoning. This, though, is from Acer and Heather in Perth, who say, hello, Max and Department of Defence. My lovely partner is a big fan. And slowly it's gone from me being forced to listen along in the car to what someone had to break for listening by myself. Christopher MacArthur,

11:38Boyd's Day was truly something that should be studied in the future. Anyway, regarding him, Max saw at Perth Airport, we have a guest. At first, we weren't going to send it in as it makes too much sense, but then thought David might prefer to squash the game before it carries on for the next year. If Stephen Fry was a good guest, could it have been Kevin MacLeod? Kevin MacLeod from Grand Designs. Because there's an Aussie version of Grand Designs, I think hosted by an Aussie Kevin MacLeod. Right. He's over there a lot doing promo for it. That's a great guess. They say he's just been on tour in Australia and it looks like he'd be partial to a business class lounge cheese toasty. Damn it. You bastards. I thought it would go on forever. It is Kevin MacLeod. Come over. Yes. There we go. Wow. That's great. Oh, thank you. Now we just have the other two to three quizzes to deal with. Well, you say that. This is the David Squires quiz guest, Dan in Litchfield writes,

12:42dear voice of Gavisca on the face of the creator of Tetris and the liminal essence of producers Mars Barron Will. The David Squires mate's Aussie United related teas are threatening to plunge us back into Teddington tour, but once more, I feel obliged to share my guess for who the Oxford supporting father and son duo might have been. And in doing so, potentially claim my place, along with producer Will and the listener who won the original hurdle in the pantheon of yesterday pause quiz conquerors. My guess is friend of the pod Tom Rosenthal and his dad, the sports presenter Jim who's Oxford fandom earned him notoriety when he wore an Oxford United hat while presenting coverage of the 1986 milk cup final. If I'm right, I hear by claim my prize of a limited edition max rushed and trading card from Gavin fitness. If it for life, a big what's up to my wife Joe who's always the audience member who last allowed us to David's live shows down in Litchfield. Well, I got in touch with David Squires and I said, is it Jim slash Tom Rosenthal?

13:42Yeah, it isn't. But I don't know the answer to this one. So I'm in the same place. But on the subject of Tom Rosenthal, David, he sent me a message the other day and it just said this, just drank some water that had been in my car for a while. It was peace. I just that come again in like the middle of the night. He probably got it at like 3 a.m. and your wife was like, what is it? Is it something important? And you read it out and just went back to sleep. I did say to Tom that I was thrilled and very glad that he told us because you know, you have a stem brain, right? Science technology, you know, that end of things with your mathematics fame that we've seen very little of to be honest on this. Do I have any of that? Okay,

14:42fine. I'll tell you. Yeah, you did a level mathematics. I did a level. I did double math. Yeah, but then a couple of times in this podcast, you couldn't add two numbers. So what a football a long time. There's a titration. Is it a titration or a distillation for turning peace back into water? I think if you heat it at a specific time, I thought that was Leviticus 134. And then the law did turn peace into water. Or is my misremembering? No, this could save a listener's life if they're trout. Great. On an island. So they have a Bunsen burner and a live big condenser. Yeah. And 30 liters of Tom Rosenthal. That's actually what you win when we finish that they just saw a country's competition. But how listeners, how would you go about turning peace back into water again? Like how do you get rid of the ammonia? The salt presumably, maybe if you had a boil,

15:43what do you call the tube? Is that a titration tube where you might rise that up? I'm just putting it out there. It's an interesting question. Okay, right. Yeah. And we don't want to Google it because we only Google Pippi Longstocking in Italy. And we'd like the listeners to get in touch with how have you ever turned peace into water? Let us know. What did you do yesterday? Pod at gmail.com. Let's play their just normal countries. Here we go then. Madagascar and Namibia Costa Rica. Uganda, North Korea, Guyana, Northern Mariana Islands, Bhutan, Brunei, Nepal, Srutini, U.S. Virgin Islands, Ecuador, Guinea, San Marino, Correct. Correct. Lichtenstein, Turkmenistan, Seychelles, Mauritius, Georgia, Vatican City, Oman, Fiji,

16:43Correct. Correct. Vanuatu, Bolivia, Ferro Islands, Correct. Belarus, Klau, Aruba, Ecuador, Iraq, Gabon, Correct, Eritrea, Andora, Peru, Reunion, Greenland, the Gambia, Ivory Coast, Bulgaria, the Solomon Islands, Cape Verde. That was from the Dublin live show, bonus episode 61. Susie writes, Hi, DoD Max, and most importantly, Mars Bar, who isn't here. I was front row at the gig in Vicarstri on Tuesday, raging. My name wasn't Luxembourg, McTurkey, so I could get my guess in for their just normal countries. Interruption, yes, David. This isn't Drummer Louise who was sitting at the front of that gig, who had a t-shirt with all of the normal countries. Yeah. Great merch. Yeah, homemade merch. Since the gig, I have sued her for two million pounds, which seems harsh, but we have to have intellectual property of these things. We have to control. Alas, my parents gave me a stupid name at birth, says Susie. Since July of last year, I felt in my bones that Chad is one of the countries on the list.

17:45So when Georgia stood up to guess, I shouted Chad almost as soon as she got up out of her seat. When Mars by divulged that one of the answers shouted was indeed a correct answer, it may be confident enough to finally write in with my guess, Chad. Yes, I've mentioned it three times now. That's how strongly I feel about it. P.S., it was my friend Liz who was sat in the seat in the Hackney Empire with the Pronella Scales plaque, R.I.P. Pronella. We've now been at 100% of the wanted yesterday live gigs. If you want to fly us to Melbourne to keep our street going, we're up for it. So, will producer will is Chad a normal country? Wow, ding, ding, ding, ding, yes, five up six, five of six and Susie is in control of the game. So Susie could win it next week. And suddenly, we've Kevin McLeod done with their just normal countries. Yeah, curdle is a two and a half cheese board. Yeah, we're a long way to boxing day. What happens when there are no quizzes? Oh, my goodness. Yeah, it's not a concern that I had say 20 minutes ago.

18:50We also have the Oxford United quiz. Of course, yeah, the David Squire is our worst ever quiz. It is a quiz two steps removed, isn't it? It's not even our quiz. And of course, titrating piss the quiz. That's more a question, isn't it? It's not really a quiz. They're never going to ask that on who wants to be a millionaire. You're 16,000 pound question is how do you piss it to water? Chris Tarant go, I can't do a Chris Tarant impression, but you understand the point. Anyway, David, more importantly, what time did you wake up yesterday? 7 a.m. David already stirs. He spent eight hours getting back from Wales the evening before and had slept okay, but it's fine. Wake up at seven. I'll just reach out, find my headphones. We are still in a situation where there are two lost sets of air pods in the house because

19:57the Lord is looking down on them and telling me where they are in relation to the heavens, but that is useless in relation to a two-story house. I mean, it is only a two-story. Like, you could just check both stories, couldn't you, of the house? Well, the interesting thing about this house, although it is technically a two-story house, there's actually, it's on kind of four bits of levels. So you could drop a plumb line down through the slates and find three levels. So there's more to it than you think. You've been in it. I made you sleep on a time you tell it. It's a sad air bed. I folded up some kitchen roll and put some kitchen roll on top of you and they didn't sleep there. It's fine. I will get up and I'll make breakfast. That's what I'll do. Okay, so it's not Helen Cops' slop. You're in charge. Yeah, it's time for me to make

20:57something delicious. We have a hipster bread. Now, the hipster bread has been sitting there for a little while, so it has become entirely solid. Yeah. Like, completely. If you threw it to the ducks, you'd kill them. I don't know. It's not just sliced the end off and it's fresh inside. It's a no. It's a heavy loaf. Okay. There's something you could do to it. I think you could probably run it under the tap and then put it in the oven that might bring it back to the life. But there's some bagels in the freezer. I'll just take out one of those. Yeah. I opted for the classic, which is peanut butter banana on top of it. A little bit of salt, a tiny bit of honey. Perfect. Wake up, Helen Cops. Let's go.

Ross, work your magic.

23:02So it's a curious time and this will be the theme of the day. We have failed to find, we've sold this house. Yeah, we've failed to find another house to move into. So we're moving like the middleist hobo. You're going to just be a little stick and a hangar chief and you're just going to go from place to place, just you and your keyboard. It's exciting times. And this podcast mic, that's it. You know, those sort of, it puts in boots type shows, you open the little sort of bandana with the stuff on it and it would just be a focus-right compressor box at a S-M-58 microphone inside. So I feel as I look at the houses for sale and none of them are right. I have the great regret that we why did we sell this? This house is great. You know what I mean? You've had a miserable night here. You loved it. It's a lovely house. It's got things going for it

24:07that I suspect will never find anywhere else ever again. In that in high summer, the garden, it's really just a yard and is entirely secluded, not overlooked by anyone. So you can come out of the shower and just simply stand in the sunlight. You know, you're not going to find that anywhere else, possibly ever again. Oh no, I'm sorry about this regret. No, it's fine. It'll apparently more houses come on sale. Like we are looking for houses in a fairly specific part of Dublin. Yeah. I look at one that's not quite right, but I do enjoy how on the Google Maps, when I go to find out where that is, one of the local sites of interest with a blue star on Google Maps is a friendly black cat. Someone has put that on there. So that shows me up a little bit. That adds value. I think it adds value. So you say about things in your house. This adds value. I come to the basement where I am now,

25:09which has no pictures on the walls. Yeah. Boxes around me and record two incredible episodes of the hit podcast. What did you do yesterday? Yesterday's. Yeah. Mayhem. Midweek. Mayhem. Yep. And a special guest then as well. Yeah. A very nice time doing that. Then I book a storage locker. Wow. Okay. This is good stuff. Yeah. It is. But it's also it's hard not to hear the song this used to be by playground. You know, every I think I'm prone to a sort of sentimentality where every lamp I click on and off and I go, I'll probably never click that lamp on and off and this has ever again, which you'll never deflate the lilo again. Yeah. Are you picking up things and sort of do you look at them? You look at the thing you've picked up and then you look at the window and then you look back at the thing. I don't think that's what would happen in the movies. Yes. But I do that with one of the most cluttered houses ever that is filled with so much.

26:18Just stupid, you know, even the vibrating battery powered cock ring that was in the house when I moved in. You know, you're going to tell that with you or leave that. Yeah. You've got to leave it. Leave it behind, but I'll hide it somewhere in the attic or something like that. Oh, I thought maybe you would everything else would be empty and it would just be there. Like with a single ray of light coming in a window. Yeah. Just a little moment next to it. I then had burst into flames like when Peggy uses glasses in order to fly. Great. In fairness, I start tidying clothes and I find incredible clothes that have just been down the back of the system for maybe the last five years. Wow. What have we got in there? This t-shirt, which there's Kansas City against the world, which I got when I was in Kansas City with flight of the concords in 2018, 2017 maybe, which is the one time Kansas City won the world series

27:25in baseball. I think someone in the crowd at a homemade sign that they cut to whatever before that winning home run was hit at it just said Kansas City against the world. So it's a fresh new look that I have. It looked great. It's very similar to my 2018 look. Thank you very much. Loads of shit books, I find. So when I moved into this house, I was writing a series of books with the incredible Aussie actor and comedian Claudia O'Darherty. We have the same last name. We wrote two of the least essential books of all time, a book of fake facts about sharks and a book of fake facts about pandas. So I was getting sent a lot of books from this genre, the incredibly unessential books genre. And I find a bunch of those. There's a book about things that happen on made up islands around the world. Like it's a beautiful sort of map book, but everything's fake.

28:31And then I find a very stark book called images you should not masturbate to. It's like a man with a shirt off and an axe and he's chopping a log out of what I do remember about that one was being in the offices of I think random house published those books. And this book being sort of, you know, we've got some stiff opposition in this genre and images you should not masturbate to just being slid across the table. This is going very well at the moment. Are you going to get a skip? Have you got a skip yet? No, there's no need for a skip. It's all good stuff. And also, you know that I'm the skip vampire whereby there'll be a few bits, but I will go out very late at night dressed in the darkest clothes. And I will put those dried up paintpots into someone else's skip. You're allowed. If there's building work going on where they're taking out the entire inside of a house, they're changing a big skip every day.

29:33They really don't mind if you put three things in it. Okay. I take a break from all of this nostalgia and packing to take some lunch to Jim and Anne. It's an exciting time. Anne's 88 on Sunday. Can you believe that they aren't going on? Yeah. She's just one year ahead of my dad constantly. Yeah, she has got a date for a new knee. And that's good. If she keeps getting parts of her replaced, it's going to be a trigger's broom type situation where is she an entirely different person than the head replace would will be the big one. I do tech support for my father, obviously. What's he trying to make his super Nintendo work? He wants sky sports on the laptop. I mean, it's wild at an 87 year old could even know about that. But he's like, yeah, when your mother's

30:35downstairs and she is watching rugby and he wants to watch Manchester United, he can slink back upstairs. Go ahead and put that on. So I made that happen. And me and mom go out to get coffee and coal. They're still big coal guys. I would say many of I don't think I've ever bought a sack of coal in my life, but they will not change over to a more energy efficient, say fake fire or a type thing. It's very much the centerpiece of the house. Then come back. Got to do more boxes because I booked my brother today. We're hiring a van and we're going to send the first lot of gear to the storage locker. I know what my mind does go to go when goose dies in top gun. His wife and the kid come in. It's a very somber moment that his entire earthly possessions are

31:38in like a shoe box. And it's just his dog tags and some photographs. Surely some shades. Surely some aviators. There's got to be, but there is not a copy of images you should ask about to read to another 35 boxes of absolute crap. So we're heading now towards five o'clock. And you're not so much packing. You must be exhausted because it's tiring. It's emotionally and physically tiring. Yeah, but the problem with it is it's the slipping off into the dream like reveries the whole time. That's actually what takes the time. The tiring part will be today because we don't have a hand card. So it's just going to be too large lifting boxes. True. Although you don't have to, you and your brother have no cows to tag, right? So you would be a quick job than Brett McKenzie's. That's true. Yes, but a different job. More similar to Brett taking. In fact, it's probably my next of kin that will do the job of having to bring all

32:43of these boxes to the recycling center. And then we'll say something incredibly profound about life through the hatch. I decide to make an incredibly ambitious dinner for the Helen Cupter from a 30 second Instagram reel. Okay. You know one of those ones that's like do this, do this, throw in the four of these. But it's always put everything in your kitchen and then cover in cheese. And then you've made a weird burger that no one would ever eat. I decide to travel to Japan and create the Don Barry chicken bowl. Okay. Tell me about it. I mean, it's all fairly basic stuff. There is a there's a big flaw in trying to pause a 30 second video multiple times to make the dinner in that you don't get a sense of how long the various elements take. And also

33:47because we've packed away any weighing devices, I am weighing using vibes. Good. Plus, it's an American recipe. So it's cups. And who knows how big a cup is, you know, what's I mean, like a cup of chicken? Like you can sort of know it's not a drink you want while doing a marathon. You run past the table that just cups of chicken and go straight for the water. The chicken is not the issue. We've got chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, spices, fairly basic. This is all good stuff so far. All good stuff. But then the secret is the glaze. The glaze is some of the craziest stuff you've ever heard going together. And because they're also supposed to go in cups, I guess. To me, I know there is a standardised measurement of a cup in America. But to me, it sounds like just a made up thing like a fist. Do you think it's the

34:47Stanley cup? Is it like the Stan? That's that much hoisin sauce is going to really make it rich, isn't it? So we've got, imagine this going in. Half a cup of orange juice, a quarter cup of soy sauce, two tablespoons of maple syrup. Like luckily this is all stuff that's in the cupboard. So I do it. I can't remember what else is in it. But in his 30 second video, this is maybe three seconds of it. You just bung it on the chicken. And he's like, now just wait for it to glaze it. And what I've done is massively use too much fluid. So I've created just a sort of bubbling vat of which dinner now. Is it salvageable? Are you going to repurpose it? Are you going to resell it? Or have you told the Helen Cup to watch your making? Well, I've told the Helen Cup to hurry back from work because I'm about to get this going. As in like, it'll be on the table

35:53in 10 minutes. Yeah. And 40 minutes later, I'm still trying to bubble off this endless liquid. Now, so I think I've effectively created something else as usual. And the chicken is probably like pretty, it's pretty well poached now, isn't it? It's like one of those Irish stews that's been on the range for six months. That's kind of how it tastes. Any ethnic specificity has just been utterly boiled out of it. It's just a rice and chicken. You can get a little bit of the sweetness from the maple syrup and the orange juice, but that's pretty much it. That said, it's pretty delicious. Okay. Well done. Yeah. Thank you very much. Do a little bit more packing. The bedside lockers, I guess they're going to go now because we'll do three journeys to the storage locker. And the first one is just low hanging fruits, but those beds hang on. What's that? In the back of the bedside, what? It's my air pod headphones. Yes. The original ones that I lost. The ones you

36:59thought were in the code to go, yes, the ones that I am going to find their replacement soon. And then I will have four air pods for like individually for or individually for. I think you always treat them as a two. I don't think so. People in their own right, each individual air pod. Yeah, because I'll be like, I'll have one in each ear and then I'll try some quadrasonic stereo thing where I'll put like two of my nose or something like that. With the greatest respect. You'll pick out the air pod and say, with the greatest respect. And shove them up my butt. And then tell other audio files that this is the only way to lose to stealing that.

Helen's been doing some packing now as well, and we say that'll do with all of that. There's enough boxes I think to fill the van that I'm hiring today. We watch a little bit of a late-night Irish political panel discussion where Irish politicians debate the war in Iran. It does an old joke in Irish politics, which is, I think it's from just before the First World War, that there was a local newspaper called the Skiberine Eagle, and in their editorial, the famous line is, we would like to warn the Tsar that the Skiberine Eagle is watching you. And that's good to be involved, right? Exactly. That the Tsar is going to get word back.

40:04There is a lot of discussion. I don't get St Patrick's Day. St Patrick's Day is not for me, as in someone who lives here, the idea of just loads of people coming to Dublin and doing St Patrick's Day things. I don't know. It's just fine, but it's just not for me. And should, because the T-Shock, the Prime Minister, is going to the Oval Office to talk to Trump on St Patrick's Day. And so various politicians argue what he should do, you know, when Trump turns red. Sure, he brings him a really big green hat and a pint of Guinness. It's a sort of thing that Donald would like. That would be one end of the panel. And the other end is what he turns around, kick him in the ass and run out. That's for Iran. Helen, we're starting to relax now. Helen, uh-oh, remembers she felt a click on her bike saddle on the way home, and then one but talk was suddenly much lower than the other. And she says, it's probably

41:06nothing. But even from that description, I know what's happened. One of the rails on her saddle is fatigued. That saddle needs to be replaced. It's raining, but I carry a little torch out to my shed. And luckily, there is a replacement saddle still on the shelf there. So I fix the saddle on her bike. I lie back down and look up and see like Arasi listeners won't be happy with this. But this is a bigger spider than I've ever seen in Australia. Is it a time of year, I wonder, in Ireland, where the spider is, is the spider prego maybe? And that's why the body is so huge. It's the size of a human hand, Max. And it's on the wall on the other side of the room. But it's so big, it can move like a meter. Every time we look back at the political discussion show and look back up, it's moved again. So there is the chance that it's going to spin

42:09a web and trap me and Helen in it. Yeah. And you can't concentrate on anything if there's a giant spider on the wall, like you can't do anything. And imagine that the people who bought the house come in, they see two things, a butt plug with a movement beside us. And then me and the Helen Cupter wrapped it a silk and web half eaten by a giant spider. They're probably not going to like that. So because of the influence of my friend, Searsha, who we've spoken of on the podcast and her love of all animals, I can't just end this spider. Also from a practical point of view, it would put a big smush on the wall where you to do that. I know it's quite hard if they're that big to find a glass big enough to not get the legs, right? But also it's too high even for that. I would have to get a step ladder and a glass. It's right at the top. So Helen Cupter, she's not going to do anything about it. And I realize I am. And so this sort of ties into what we were discussing on

43:13the podcast recently. I empty out the fake Dyson, the shark with the spinning clear drum. And I take off the attachment on the end. So it's just a tube going to the spinning Jenny. And I put it on full blast, walk into the room like a frickin ghost bus. Hang on, hang on. So the first night we fell asleep in this house. Yeah. I would move to Melbourne. And I was in there's like a little great above in the wall. I don't know. We don't know what it's for. But then this massive spider just just like crept out of it. So I'm lying with this spider looking at thinking why are we in this fucking country? Yeah. And I don't want to kill the spider. But we're not sure what to do. So we get the Dyson. And I just hoover up thinking well, hoover up. And then I can just release it. But that's not how the Dyson, it's not how we work. And you know, just sort of liquidized it. Liquidized it. Exploded to millions of pieces. Yeah. So so you've got the big, the Dyson doesn't

44:14sucky suck. If it's the does, it absolutely does. If you just, so all I've got is the power unit and the tube gone off it. I don't put any attachment on the end. You've got the drum. I've got the power in this hand. And you've got the long, the long bit. What do you call it? The butt of the rifle? Yes. It's the first time ever that we really should be on a video because we're both holding an imaginary Dyson like an AK47. But that is just a hoover. Like you don't have like a like attorney bit, but you're basically going to kill this. But I am absolutely not. I put it on full power. Yeah. Suck it straight off the wall. And I can now see it in the clear drum. I don't I didn't have it with my spider. If yours is a real Dyson, maybe it's slightly higher power or something. Okay. But now we have the problem of a giant human hand sized spider in a plastic drum.

45:14How do we get it out into the garden? I just want to set it free of this windy night where you know, it could just do its own thing. Walk into the city. So then I get the plastic. It's quite an aggressive spring on the way. It sort of goes. Yeah. Yeah. Open. And I shake it vigorously. And I see the spider walk away from the house 100% saved another life on the podcast. Oh, thank you. With that, we go to bed. That's it. That's what I did yesterday. This is from Colin, who says Good morning, Max David and Mars bar. I'm mid listen to the latest bonus episode. I've paused my night shift as a security guard to answer your rally cry for a guess at the cheese board quiz. It's currently 114 a.m. in London as I write this. I've decided my chances of winning a slim to none. So I shall sacrifice myself for the good of the quiz community in a tactical approach. Oh, whoever does go on to win. Please remember your fallen comrade. This is very controversial, David.

46:21This is, there's a school of world that does this. I will give you the guesses. Great. Bri. Bing. Bing. Bing. Bing. Smoked. Applewood. Kefili. Bing. Bing. Bing. Cashel blue. Bing. Bing. Bing. Kefili. Oh, you see what Colin's done. He's double. Kefili. Yeah. To make sure we all know where Kefili is. Like, there is a selflessness to this. He's dived on the Welsh cheesy grillade. And we now simply have two more and listeners remember there is high cheese and there is low cheese and there's one of each here. We don't like these sort of things. But how do we feel about Colin's approach? Is it pure selflessness or is that because what Colin didn't realise when he guessed was that we were almost out of quizzes.

47:24We've got to cling on to Kurtle now. At the moment, it's the 11th of, we were recording this on the 11th of March. We've got to get to Boxing Day. Unless the David Squires quiz lasts. You know about this. We've got the piss quiz now. Oh, you're right, the piss quiz. New quizzes are coming on stream. And that is inappropriate all the time. Yeah, you're right. They were two guesses left. It's a two cheese board. And if you'd like to get in touch with a pod with your guesses. To either this or David Squires friends, Oxford United quiz or any other feedback, it is all welcome. Here is how. To get in touch with the show, you can email us at what did you do yesterday pod at gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram at yesterday pod. And please subscribe and leave a review if you liked it on your preferred podcast platform. And if you didn't, please don't. Thank you, David. I am in it for life. Thank you very much. The first time I've ever held an

48:26imaginary Dyson with someone else. And I enjoyed that bit. Producer Will is in it for life. Will all still be doing this in 50 years time. Well, maybe I'll have a new housemate then, we'll see. But thank you very much, Max. Bye.
