Oh no, it’s another comedian! What they gonna say 😱

I loved Emma’s yesterday, it resonated a lot as another parent of a little one, although without the SNL residency, invite to a tv screening or opportunity to grab a coffee or a pint with my husband…

Justice for Max’s Ghost reference, though karma for Lara’s long hands.

Thoughts?

I was going to start this by asking ‘what’s the worst thing you’ve put in your mouth straight after waking up?’ but I don’t think any of us would like the answers and we do all need to know less about each other.

Paul Foot can only be Paul Foot and I think he was peak Paul Foot in this episode, which really went around the houses in a way that only Paul Foot can make you do. It’s not for me to say whether the boys managed to keep control of Paul Foot in this episode, but I don’t think he is a man who can be controlled. Thoughts?

First things first: What is round?

Second thing second: absolutely fucking love that if the world has a more than 2% chance of ending, they would all come together as an astronomer supergroup to… >!write a letter! Because dinosaurs!< >!didn’t!< >!have a space agency.!<

Just looked outside my window for flying piggies as we’ve not only got a non-comedian non-football writer, but a Max booking too! A brilliant day and a really engaging speaker in Chris, he has a cracking quick wit, and like Mary was absolutely up for it. I didn’t realise The Hague did anything other than prosecuting war crimes, I note that at no point did Chris say that he wasn’t also there for that purpose…

Max and David gave it a good go at trying to derail Chris’ day, he was extraordinarily patient given that I don’t think the big bang happened yesterday Max?! Brian Cox could never (esp given his Off Menu ep). Did everyone else enjoy it?

Woooooooooow! This is definitely a hall of famer.

I hadn’t heard of Rob before the thread in the week recommended his RHLSTP ep, which was mad and very funny, and ended with Richard completely losing control of Rob… I’d say this ep was very similar… without going into too many details. Blup blup.

Highlights: why WH Smith went under, chicken racing, everyone needs a Helen, Brian Ferry has secret lube 🤣

It made me chuckle that David and Max did a real life cover of the podcast (unintentionally) on instagram promoting the Dublin gig, so I thought it was an apt image for the episode… a lovely email from Tom, confirming what we all know about Max but he can’t quite bring himself to accept.

David should be ashamed of this yesterday given the absolute going over he gave Jake Bhardwaj for his day. The episode should have come with a trigger warning for our fishy friends, I wonder what they thought was happening to them when David’s appendages were splayed across their vision.

I guess Danny is a radio presenter / author rather than a comedian so hopefully it pleases the people asking for variety! I first came across him in ‘Are You Dave Gorman?’ - I always wondered if they had a falling out at some point, as they worked together lots and then Danny went on to do Join Me and Yes Man independently (and Dave did Googlewhack), they don’t seem to have crossed paths since. Danny also randomly popped up as a voice in Assassins Creed… but none of that was yesterday, so isn’t relevant.

Very funny episode, not many people can get so much out of an airport hotel, an impromptu cinema visit, and a drive down a boring road. He gets it.

Max sure knows a lot of what is in an adult store for someone who hasn’t been in one 👀

It would have been a very funny episode if Nina had just gone up a hill for the whole day… another comedian, what will the haterz say?! It’s almost as if David is surrounded by them at the moment.

A VERY blue episode from David, I’m guessing he’s spent too much time with Nish. A second outing of the scrabble anecdote from Max in as many weeks, though I guess it’s tricky when 2 out of the 4 anecdotes you have are active quizzes…

Sometimes you think the life of a comedian is all glitz and glamour, and then eps like this (and Ian Smith, Dan Tiernan and Christopher MacArthur-Boyd) remind you that it absolutely isn’t. Mites, shit sausage baps, buying plasters and another kebab to chase the one the night before. What a life! Enjoyed hearing a quiz where we immediately got all the answers… take note, Max.

David is in a veritable goldmine of potential WDWDY guests at Edinburgh, is there anyone you’d like David to tell Max to book? For me I’d love Adam Riches (would be good to hear another perspective on the vibrating Tortoise), Demi Adejuyigbe (v funny on spelling bee), and Olga Koch (would give the guys short shrift).

Another new name for me. Cannot believe the man went to the British Library to answer emails whilst having a shit without applying for some kind of arts council grant, a living art piece commenting on the colonialism of lifting all the books for us to gawp at.

A full on day from Bella, unbelievably controversial discussion about Humpty Dumpty and the continued conspiracy that he’s an egg. Can’t believe Max, David and Bella have been drawn in by Big Egg. They’ve got them like they’ve got Joanne McNally.

Interesting to hear Mars Bar wants guest diversification. I would like to hear from Steven Bartlett’s long suffering PA, Larry the Cat’s handler and someone who only drives in the middle lane of motorways. Any other ideas?

Got to be honest, thought they’d managed to nail down a big Max booking and got very confused when they didn’t mention snooker in the intro… not heard of Roger before, this was a v funny ep. I also listened to the ep, wrote this, found the photo and the image in my mind 100% does not match: definitely got a different idea with the Huel / running / ninja smokers chat.

Realising Max and DOD have a number of references that often make it into each guest’s yesterday questioning:
✅ Newbury reference
✅ Moomins (for obvious reasons)
✅ Vittorio bonking (seems to be an Irish guest requirement)
✅ Deborah Meaden or another dragon either needing to know more, or, for X reason, they’re out

Tempted to set up a bingo! Are there any more I’ve missed?

This episode should have been called ‘The Full De-Kestrel’ - put in a bit of effort lads. Though that was me that said we as a listenership can’t be arsed with much and I fully respect that neither can Max and David, nor their producers, so fair play.

Looking forward to the hitman tier of the pod. I won’t be paying for it as a continued freeloader but if I did I would ask for Kristen Schaal (I assume previous guests will be selectable) to take some manosphere twunts out with a rusty speculum.

I’m guessing the TV show is either Taskmaster or Last One Laughing 3, though he said a few days so I assume the former. Not much ticked off on the DOD day bingo, being on the road and all. Interesting that David took off his trousers before his gig but didn’t then replace them, I assume he performed top on, bottom out, toddler style? Was anyone there?

For us freeloaders, what did Max do yesterday?

Another mammoth yesterday, Mike definitely got the brief but was actually quite vulnerable about his mental health and issues with insomnia.

Good to see the reemergence of the Joanne McNally eggstravaganza, can’t think of a better use for the greenhouse gasses coming out of her than as background for a slightly shit guided hypnosis session.

Thoughts?

Such night and day between Max’s Melbourne and LA yesterdays, I would imagine that Jaime will be writing in to the podcast with a strongly worded complaint. I really hope that the neighbour who steals the bins can film the moment where Max’s taxi pulls up to the curb, the front door opens and Jaime runs out and just legs it down the road into the sunset with a suitcase and a large bar of worming chocolate.

Has anyone here bought an extra bottom? Do you need to floss it? There must also be a joke about an Englishman, an (honorary) Australian and an Irishman going into one of a pub, a celebrity cannabis bar or a strip club? Something something barry’s glasses and a vegetable that’s not being eaten by the Racing Post’s journo?

Well done Connor in Arizona >!1/2 of they’re just normal countries redux is done - Haiti was a ding ding ding delivered with the normal exuberance that we now expect from producer Will. One more to go, maybe we can do the unachievable and get down to Quiz Zero (though not with Piedmonte guess like Guy Pearce, waaaaaay to famous. Max said none of us will know who it is)!<

So the question from us freeloaders to those in it for life is… what did David do yesterday?

A David day, again ticking off all the DOD boxes:

✅ house buying
✅ Helencopter goes to her real job
✅ lunch with parents
✅ bike ride
✅ comedy (though writing rather than gig)
✅ podcast recording
✅ DIY
✅ proper cooking (albeit the Helencopter’s)

We can also confirm that David is not a never nude, but it sounds like Max might be one? What house do we think David has bought? My vote is this one, given how well the podcast is doing:

DING DING DING Well done Alice! >!They’re just normal cheeses 2.0 is dead! Long live the cheeseboard! Imagine if we managed to get down to quiz zero? It’s never gonna happen though, Piedmonte will be with us til the end of time!<

Someone else will need to cover the bonus ep. I did reach out by email to ask if they’d throw me a subscription bone but they haven’t bitten…
