0:54

Too many? I have one already. I

0:56

don't have any, because there are enough.

0:58

Politics business, sport, you name it, there's

1:00

a podcast about it, and they all

1:03

ask the big questions and cover the

1:05

hot topics of the day. But nobody

1:07

is covering the most important topic of

1:09

all. Why is that? Are they scared?

1:12

Too afraid of being censored by the

1:14

man? Possibly, but not us. We're here

1:16

to ask the only question that matters.

1:18

We try and say it at the

1:21

same time, Max. What did you

1:23

do yesterday? What did you

1:25

do yesterday? That's it. All

1:27

we're interested in is what

1:29

the guest got up to

1:32

yesterday, nothing more. Day before

1:34

yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest

1:36

and most interesting day of

1:38

your life? Unless it was

1:40

yesterday, we don't want to

1:43

know about it. I'm Max

1:45

Rushton. And I'm David O'Donnell.

1:47

Welcome to What did you

1:49

do yesterday? of what did you

1:52

do yesterday? We get towards

1:54

episode 24. I mean, have

1:56

we passed that? Which would

1:58

be a whole... day of yesterday.

2:01

Although, given that although

2:03

we are told to keep

2:05

the episodes tight, many stretch

2:07

over the hour, maybe by

2:09

episode 22, or even we

2:11

might have even got there

2:13

already, episode 20, might have

2:15

hit into 24, and then

2:17

we could release them like

2:19

24, the key for Sutherland.

2:21

And so what would happen,

2:24

it would go beep, beep, and

2:26

they'd be like... Amy Gledhill with

2:28

a hair dryer and there would

2:30

be be beep and there would

2:32

be a gamble looking at watches

2:34

and it would be like beep

2:36

silly a B watching you know

2:39

where this is ending up don't

2:41

you? Watching that was mine of

2:43

course it is. Or maybe Max

2:45

if you watch 24 with the

2:47

Sound Down yeah our podcast sinks

2:49

exactly like some other thing if

2:51

you watch Wizard of Oz and

2:53

hunky Dory are one of the

2:55

Bowie albums. in it, things just

2:58

frequently sink to us. Yeah, that's

3:00

how we've done this. What an

3:02

Easter egg that is. If you

3:04

listen, if you listen to all

3:06

of Top Loaders songs backwards, at

3:08

the same time as listening to

3:10

all the episodes of this, I'm

3:12

not sure what happens, but you'd

3:14

have a great, you'd have a

3:16

great time, wouldn't you? Let's not

3:18

beat around the bush, David. Let's get straight to it. That's the

3:20

first time either of us has ever said that. I've never said

3:22

it in my life. It is the first time I've said it

3:24

in my life. And you know what? It felt good. It felt

3:26

good to say. James Buckley, yeah. And we're just about to do

3:29

the episode. So we are like you. Sometimes we record these intros

3:31

about six years after we've done the episode. We can't remember any

3:33

of it. But we've done it, so we've done it, so we

3:35

sort of know if we sort of know if it, if it,

3:37

if it, if it, if it, if it, if it, if it,

3:39

or we sort of, or we sort of, or we sort of,

3:41

or we sort of, or we sort of, or we sort of,

3:43

or if it's mid-table, or if it, or if it's mid-table, or

3:45

if it's mid-table, or if it's mid-table, or-table, or-table, or- This one,

3:48

we are in the same position as

3:50

you. We don't know what James

3:52

Buckley did yesterday. We're about to

3:54

find out in the same time

3:56

that you are about to find

3:59

out. So exciting. What's your first

4:01

question going to be, Max? I

4:03

reckon it's going to be, what

4:05

time did you wake up? Just

4:07

mix it up with it. Let's

4:09

do it. So yeah, James Buckley,

4:11

obviously, who found fame with the

4:13

in-betweeners and now hosts a podcast,

4:15

the Buckley's. with Mrs Buckley. This

4:17

is an interesting intro for me

4:20

because normally when it's one of

4:22

my comedian friends you just say

4:24

he or she has been on

4:26

all those things really dismissively whereas

4:28

yeah James a proper actor yeah

4:30

I'm not saying I'm not dismissing

4:32

mock the week you know it's

4:34

something that I would watch going

4:36

I bet I could do that

4:38

and then if I did do

4:40

it I'd have been at terrible

4:43

and would just be like not

4:45

in the edit and then I'm

4:47

sort of like I'd be relieved

4:49

that I wasn't in the edit

4:51

and I would have tried too

4:53

hard so I'm not dismissing them

4:55

I think they'd be very difficult

4:57

to do can I just say

4:59

that for the record when I

5:01

say all the things I'm saying

5:03

it with adulation and admiration just

5:06

to interrupt whatever you're going on

5:08

with Max, our producer Marsbar, he's

5:10

just popped up a little chat

5:12

in the sidebar and it says

5:14

real-time DOD fact-checking. You see I

5:16

do come up, it's why I'd

5:18

be a good politician. I come

5:20

across like I know I'm talking

5:22

about certain things, and he's found

5:24

two inconsistencies already. Wizard of Oz

5:26

is meant to sink with Dark

5:29

Side of the Moon by Bing

5:31

Floyd, not one of the David

5:33

Bowie albums. And we're over the

5:35

24-hour mark already in terms of

5:37

collective episode duration. So... That would

5:39

be so tiring for the dark

5:41

side of the moon people to

5:43

have to sink it up with

5:45

fucking wizard of Oz. You're halfway

5:47

through to just go, this is

5:49

a stupid idea. No, they didn't.

5:52

It was just that Stoners who

5:54

happened to be watching the two

5:56

so... Oh, I see. I see.

5:58

Freakish things. Yeah, that's exactly it.

6:00

It's good that you know things,

6:02

because, you know, because, you know,

6:04

you know, as we've established, I'm...

6:06

Like an open book. You know?

6:08

Anyway, here is James Buckley and

6:10

what he did yesterday. James Buckley,

6:13

welcome to What Did You Do

6:15

Yesterday? Hello, good morning. It's lovely

6:17

to see. It's been a long

6:19

time. I'm going to say a

6:21

decade. At least. Since what? Well

6:23

James clearly was soccer and glory

6:25

years. Oh no way! Wow. And

6:27

is it something that's now just

6:29

being like deleted from the record

6:31

yet to pick the five hottest

6:33

babes at a non-lead match or

6:36

something? Whenever I hear about the

6:38

glory of the soccer I am,

6:40

it's always just like you can't

6:42

even say that anymore. Is that

6:44

what it was? I think it

6:46

was done with some irony in

6:48

its defense. I think it was

6:50

in a sort of... Oh lads,

6:52

lads, lads, lads, that sort of

6:54

thing. I think it was done

6:56

as a joke. simpler times. What's

6:59

your memory of going on Soccer

7:01

Am, James? I always enjoyed it.

7:03

It was just really far away.

7:05

It was always in the middle

7:07

of nowhere. Those Sky Sports studios

7:09

are just far away from anyone

7:11

else on the planet. And every

7:13

year we'd take them further away.

7:15

Every year, so eventually we're like,

7:17

I had Tash Kent with Brett

7:19

Almerod. You know, Mr T, what's

7:22

going on? Anyway, this is all,

7:24

none of this matters. What matters,

7:26

James, is what time did you

7:28

wake up yesterday? So yesterday, I'm

7:30

going through a bit of a

7:32

habit Remember

13:34

13:36

15:01

so you are you're lying there,

15:03

you're checking your phone. Is there

15:05

an example of, there's an email

15:07

saying, have you done this yet?

15:09

It's on your mind. Not right

15:11

now, I'm thinking yesterday, James, I

15:13

don't care about today. One of

15:15

them was, don't forget, you've got

15:17

a podcast tomorrow. Right, okay. To

15:19

be fair, with the grown-ups in

15:21

my life that manage me, they

15:23

have learned that I need lots

15:25

of reminders. Because I just don't

15:28

remember. I've got the worst memory.

15:30

I keep telling Claire, you know,

15:32

my grandfather, it was dementia that

15:34

finished him. That's something I'm worrying

15:36

about. Is this the right time

15:38

to start talking about this? You

15:40

can't do? Have you worried about

15:42

it yesterday? Of course. I think

15:44

I was worried about it yesterday,

15:46

or email. Like do you think

15:48

that was encouraged? Please have an

15:50

interesting day because you have to

15:52

go on these idiots podcast the

15:55

day after tomorrow. to talk about

15:57

us. I got like an email

15:59

saying that you wanted a truthful...

16:01

I never knew that. People, you

16:03

get an email, all the guests

16:05

get this saying, you must be

16:07

honest. Wow, I have faith in

16:09

the guests, but you know, I

16:11

believe you're going to be honest.

16:13

So I've not prepared anything interesting.

16:15

No. I mean, it's my life

16:17

mainly is being bespoke around a

16:19

four-month-old puppy at the moment, and

16:21

that takes up a lot of

16:24

time, and that's basically... all I've

16:26

been doing. That's what we want.

16:28

So do you invite the puppy

16:30

into the bed then at 5.30

16:32

a.m. Yeah, I pulled him in.

16:34

Okay, got him in. Does he

16:36

want stuff thrown for him? Does

16:38

he want any of that or

16:40

is just happy? No, he's still,

16:42

I'm asleep, mate. He's not even

16:44

five o'clock in the morning. So,

16:46

really? Rolls have reversed in a

16:48

movie where James Buckley and his

16:50

puppy changed roles and he's like

16:53

I just want to be asleep

16:55

and you're like yapping at him

16:57

going on my wife I can't

16:59

help it pretty much yeah that's

17:01

that then for a couple of

17:03

hours there's nothing got to happen

17:05

or anything for another couple of

17:07

hours we don't have to worry

17:09

about school runs or anything like

17:11

that for a little while yet

17:13

do you pop in headphones and

17:15

sometimes I will wake up inexplicably

17:17

early and then a terrible mistake

17:20

to make is to put in

17:22

something too interesting. You know, if

17:24

I put in, and no disrespect

17:26

to anyone else who may be

17:28

on this podcast, if I put

17:30

in just a football boring podcast

17:32

where nothing happens and they're just

17:34

talking about bournemouth against, you know,

17:36

whatever, West Brom, generally I can

17:38

get back to sleep then, but

17:40

if I put on a thrilling...

17:42

episodic one then I'm definitely awake

17:44

for the day. Yeah I've done

17:46

that yeah because I've got those

17:49

little they're called airpods but I

17:51

keep calling them earpods which my

17:53

kids keep reminding me they're not

17:55

called earpods. I also found my

17:57

old iPod a few years ago.

17:59

It was an iPod mini. It

18:01

was the first generation iPod mini.

18:03

And I said, oh, look at

18:05

this. It's my oldest son. He

18:07

must have been 11 at the

18:09

time, something like that. And I

18:11

went, check this out, iPod. And

18:13

he went, Dad, it's called an

18:15

iPad. And I was like, no,

18:18

no. iPod's new. You can't play

18:20

that card with me for iPod.

18:22

What would you do if I

18:24

pulled out a Walkman right now?

18:26

Although your tiny little mind. Yeah,

18:28

I've, I've listened to old comedy

18:30

shows of mine recently, and I

18:32

think maybe the most dated joke

18:34

ever, because what the first iPhone

18:36

came in, I think in 2007,

18:38

2008, and I think I got

18:40

my first run about 2009. So

18:42

the joke was about to look

18:45

cool. Sometimes I would... pick up

18:47

my iPod and be like hello

18:49

into it. Audience goes wild. She'll

18:51

try again. She keeps on it.

18:53

So what time do we get

18:55

up then, James? Seven o'clock, it

18:57

all kicks off. Okay, fine. Everything

18:59

happens. Kids are up. And are

19:01

you exhausted? Because like you've been

19:03

lying there for two hours? Or

19:05

do you have to be like,

19:07

you know, you're in charge now?

19:09

I get exhausted. If I've woe,

19:11

why earlier than I need to.

19:14

I get exhausted about now. Okay,

19:16

perfect. There's a time of recording.

19:18

It's about 20 past 10 a.m.

19:20

And that's it. I'm ready for

19:22

bed again. It's the sweet spot.

19:24

I mean there's just to say

19:26

there's pressure on David now because

19:28

It's 923 p.m. for me. That's

19:30

about an hour and a half

19:32

after my bedtime. James exhausted. So

19:34

I'm just so for the rest

19:36

of the episode, David, you're in

19:38

charge of bringing the energy. I'm

19:40

driving this morning zoo radio show

19:43

is what you're saying. You're Chris

19:45

Moils in this situation. since about

19:47

half four again today, but for

19:49

different reasons. We can't ask you

19:51

about that. Can't ask me about

19:53

today. No, it's not relevant. We

19:55

don't want to know about how

19:57

the wind woke me up today

19:59

and the bins went out last

20:01

night to go out the street

20:03

at half four in the morning

20:05

and collect all my rubbish. Geez.

20:07

Geez. It would have been good

20:10

to find out that story. Interesting.

20:12

About a month ago. rubbish blows

20:14

up my road because I'm the

20:16

last house on the road so

20:18

it sort of blows down into

20:20

a corner and one of the

20:22

things that had blown down was

20:24

like a fake the box of

20:26

a fake bum and it said

20:28

it had two vibrating bullets that

20:30

went into it and the slogan

20:32

on it said even better than

20:34

the real thing. Did you pick

20:36

it up like a detective and

20:39

you can be like now it's

20:41

my mission to know who on

20:43

this street everyone you're looking at

20:45

on your street you're like are

20:47

they using the fake bum? Do

20:49

you know what it's a shame

20:51

that the fake bum didn't blow

20:53

in because then that could have

20:55

been a really weird version of

20:57

Cinderella. Right, seven o'clock. Seven o'clock,

20:59

that's when it all kicks off.

21:01

The kids are going to get

21:03

up. They take about four or

21:05

five attempts to try and get

21:08

them out of bed, and then

21:10

it's, you know, the usual stuff.

21:12

You've got to have an argument

21:14

with them to get them to

21:16

brush their teeth. This is interesting

21:18

now. So, tactics wise, because I

21:20

just remember the difference between my

21:22

mother waking me up for school

21:24

versus my father. is a musician

21:26

so it would be a very

21:28

rare thing that he would because

21:30

generally being a giggin. So mom

21:32

would like have a softly approach

21:35

might come up and put a

21:37

cup of tea beside the bed

21:39

where his dad it was like

21:41

Jesus Christ we're supposed to be

21:43

gone now you know he would

21:45

go more in that direction. What

21:47

do you do versus what does

21:49

Claire your partner do? Yeah, Claire

21:51

is very much. sort of tries

21:53

to ease them into the day

21:55

I'm sort of like just get

21:57

up mate I've been on for

21:59

hours go on you've missed half

22:01

the day what's going on how

22:04

many kids are there I've got

22:06

two boys two right and do

22:08

they require the same approach or

22:10

do you like have more success

22:12

with one than the other yeah

22:14

one of them's brilliant they know

22:16

who they are as well one

22:18

of them's great the other one

22:20

everything is difficult Everything's a debate.

22:22

There's always a reason and an

22:24

excuse and a question. A question

22:26

to a question. That annoys me.

22:28

Can you get up now? Well,

22:30

I could. But... Yeah. I foresee

22:33

a time in the not-distant future

22:35

where you've trained the dog to

22:37

be part of this morning wake-up

22:39

thing. You know what I mean?

22:41

That would be great if I

22:43

could get the dog to wake

22:45

the kids up. I think they'd

22:47

enjoy that as well. A happy

22:49

little dog waking you up is

22:51

much better than a grumpy old

22:53

man. A bulging dog with the

22:55

threat of a giant piss about

22:57

to come out of it waking

23:00

you up. I think that would

23:02

work as well. Do you shout?

23:04

Do you have to shout, James?

23:06

Because I can't see you as

23:08

a shouter? I think it makes

23:10

you look weak. All right, okay.

23:12

So you just take the sort

23:14

of mift approach. Yeah, you can't

23:16

look weak in front of him.

23:18

because then they know when they

23:20

know they've riled you kids it's

23:22

like having sort of little Robbie

23:24

savages when you've had kids they

23:26

leave a bit on you and

23:29

they just see what they can

23:31

get away with before you explode

23:33

and then suddenly you're the bad

23:35

guy you look like the lunatic

23:37

yeah and they're not blessed with

23:39

amazing talent but they really make

23:41

the most of that for the

23:43

non-football fans that's quite a good

23:45

Robbie savage joke which would be.

23:47

I think the metaphor twang to

23:49

there. Really? Really? I was quite

23:51

fleeced with it. Do they want

23:53

to get up for breakfast? Like

23:55

what's the motivating factor for them?

23:58

Or I would imagine in their

24:00

brains they have calculated the very

24:02

last moment they have to get up

24:04

and so are just going to keep

24:06

pushing it till then or are they

24:09

not motivated by these things would they

24:11

happily stay in for the day yeah

24:13

yeah they're not the pair of them

24:15

aren't mourning people okay they don't like

24:18

the mornings I mean I do feel for them

24:20

in a way because You know, kids, they've basically

24:22

gone nine to five already. Yeah. They've ever,

24:24

since they were like four years old, it

24:27

was like they had a couple of years

24:29

where they could just be kids and just

24:31

muck about and stuff, and they was like,

24:33

right, off you go. I'll see you later

24:35

this evening when it's tea time. I

24:37

always had this with my dad because

24:39

my dad was like either doing gigs

24:41

or in recording studios. In school you

24:43

were told these are the best days

24:45

of your life. In the future you'll

24:47

have to get a job and you

24:49

won't be able to have fun like

24:51

this and I would arrive home after

24:53

school and my dad would have done

24:55

like all of today's countdown. He would

24:57

have. on the various rounds and taught

24:59

them at the score that he would

25:01

have had. And then there'd be like

25:03

some breakfast and some lunch city either

25:06

side of them and maybe he would

25:08

have written like a piece of music

25:10

that size. And I'd be like, no,

25:12

I think these might be the worst

25:14

days of my life. School confused me.

25:17

What aspect of it? The whole system,

25:19

man. Yeah, true. Just what am I

25:21

doing? What am I doing here? What

25:24

are I doing here? I'm not paying

25:26

attention, I'm not interested in this. I'm

25:28

wasting yours and my time. I don't

25:31

think I've really applied anything that I've

25:33

learned at school to what I've done as

25:35

an adult. Yeah, it's interesting. And I wonder

25:37

if, because obviously I was a massive square,

25:40

so I just really enjoyed all of it

25:42

and every time I had to do a

25:44

test I just revised for it and did

25:46

it. And it was like, well, this is

25:48

fine and had a good time. But I

25:50

wonder if all my son sees me doing

25:53

is watching football and sitting on the sofa.

25:55

So when I tell him he's going to

25:57

go to school, then he might be like,

25:59

no. Max records his podcasts in his

26:01

shed and sometimes his two-year-old son decides

26:04

to do podcasting where he just goes

26:06

out to the shed and gets the

26:08

sort of muffly covers that go on

26:10

mics and puts them on his hands

26:12

and just goes to... So that's what

26:15

he thinks his dad does. That's brilliant

26:17

though. I love it when kids do

26:19

stuff like that. It's like they want

26:21

to be dead. Interestingly he doesn't want

26:23

to spend any time with me. and

26:26

like go near him he's like no

26:28

no I don't well I don't know

26:30

this again I mean it's only like we're

26:32

in a phase where I mean and most

26:34

people who've met Mrs Rushton would prefer

26:36

her as well. I understand that. I

26:39

know all my places. She is great.

26:41

She is great. She's great. So, okay,

26:43

so how long does the process of

26:45

getting them up and getting them dressed

26:48

and all that? I mean, they dress

26:50

themselves now, right there. Hopefully, tell me

26:52

there's a time when they dress themselves.

26:55

Do they have uniforms, they dress

26:57

themselves, although one of them fairly

26:59

recently, like way too old to be

27:01

making a mistake like this. and looked

27:04

down his feet and I was like,

27:06

fuck your feet, look weird. I

27:08

looked at him. He'd put his

27:10

shoes on the wrong feet. Are

27:12

they exploring the edges of trying

27:14

to fuck with the uniform system

27:16

as in wearing white socks, wearing

27:19

a black leather belt with metal

27:21

studs in it? Like we at

27:23

a school uniform and people were

27:25

always like a classic one the

27:27

cool kids in my school would

27:29

do is because your tie had

27:31

a fat end and a skinny

27:33

end you would... do it the

27:36

other way around in the attempt to

27:38

get a skinny tie all the way down. So

27:40

it looked like you were in an indie band.

27:42

I think that's a little bit older.

27:44

I think my kids will try that. I

27:46

think we've got that in the next

27:48

couple of years. I mean I remember when

27:51

I was in secondary school the fashion was

27:53

to make your tie as tiny as possible.

27:55

Like just a sort of one inch tie.

27:57

Yeah that's good. Big fat one but... I

28:00

think I did that for

28:02

the in-betweeners. I think I

28:04

thought it was quite funny. So

28:06

I think I did my tie

28:08

like that. Little tie. I mean,

28:11

why? That's really sticking it to

28:13

the man, isn't it? Okay, so

28:15

what's breakfast? Is it like cacophony?

28:17

I'm sensing... There's noise, people are

28:20

running around. I think they're also low

28:22

energy, Max. It's possible it's just a

28:24

silent meal where coast is getting handed

28:26

over. Or is it all standing? Is

28:28

there any use of the table at

28:30

all, James? No, so the problem, right,

28:33

that I've got, and I keep telling

28:35

the kids this, is that if you

28:37

weren't so slow in the morning,

28:39

if you just got up and got out,

28:41

you'd be able to sleep a lot longer,

28:43

and they need a good hour. They like

28:45

to sit there, bit of

28:48

tea and toast in the

28:50

living room with the television.

28:52

That's nice. That goes on

28:54

for about 45 minutes. What

28:56

are we watching? Good morning,

28:58

Britain. Old episodes of soccer

29:01

a.m. G.B. News. Yeah. Yeah.

29:03

That is an absolute shambles

29:05

what is happening to this

29:07

country. Throwing toast at the

29:09

TV. It's cartoons. It's cartoons.

29:12

And again, you tell a

29:14

kid that you just had

29:16

to watch whatever was on one of

29:18

the four channels at that time. That

29:20

was all you got. They just don't

29:22

understand, are they? So

29:24

what have they chosen? It's something

29:26

falls. They're watching at the moment.

29:29

Only fools and horses. Gravity falls,

29:31

I think it's cold. Okay. What's

29:33

the premise? It's proper rod. I

29:35

don't get it. It's two kids

29:37

that live with their great uncle.

29:40

Okay. in a weird town and

29:42

there's lots of sort of cults

29:44

and conspiracies and it

29:46

is odd. Is it queuing on

29:48

TV? Is it queuing on TV?

29:50

Are they getting the kids early

29:52

in conspiracies? I don't know. You

29:54

know, I don't know if it's

29:56

like Joe Rogan for kids or

29:58

something like that. It's not top

30:00

cat. No, top cat. You know

30:03

where you are. You're in an

30:05

alley and there's a police officer

30:07

and they're coming up with schemes.

30:09

What used to happen in Topcat?

30:11

Hang on. I haven't thought about

30:13

Topcat for a long time apart

30:15

from team music. Well it was

30:17

Benny, wouldn't there? There was Benny

30:19

and there was, was it Dibble,

30:21

Officer Dibble? Officer Dibble. But could

30:23

the cop talk to the cats

30:25

in English? Yeah, they did. Yeah,

30:27

they ordered a chat. Probably that's

30:29

way weirder than gravity falls to be

30:31

honest. It might be, yeah. So then

30:33

we got to go to school. I

30:35

do the school run. Are they both

30:38

in the same school? They're both in

30:40

different schools now. Oh man. Yeah, it

30:42

all just gets the bus. It's a bus

30:44

that the school puts on as well

30:46

because I just wouldn't trust my kids

30:48

to get on the one floor five.

30:50

Yeah. No. Even though I was. Well

30:52

younger than what he is now, I'd

30:55

get a call from France or something.

30:57

He's in the depot. All right, so

30:59

you're three of them now. They've gone.

31:02

Then we get rid. We get rid.

31:04

Yeah. And then I need to sort

31:06

of get myself ready then. Okay. Have

31:08

you got something to get ready for

31:11

him? Me and my wife will do

31:13

a podcast. We had to record Thursdays

31:15

when we recorded an episode of that.

31:18

Okay. And that's in London. which I

31:20

hate. And how far away from London

31:22

are you? It's a good old whack.

31:24

I thought I was, I lived far

31:27

enough away from London to be able

31:29

to not have to go back. Turns

31:31

out I'm gonna have to live even

31:34

further. Can't you just do it in

31:36

that seat that you're currently in? Yeah,

31:38

they're like this. No, it needs, it's

31:40

just me and my wife and we're

31:43

not particularly interesting or funny, so we

31:45

need to sort of make it, I

31:47

suppose look. sort of actual substance I

31:49

think we make up for and just

31:51

sort of some chain. So you can't

31:53

drive it so no one's driving it to

31:56

land? We get the train. Okay. I don't

31:58

think any more people would list. to this

32:00

podcast if there was video evidence

32:02

of us record you know what

32:05

I mean I see where Max

32:07

is while we're recording this and

32:09

there is a shelf behind him

32:11

that has the word books

32:13

written on it because there aren't any

32:16

real books on it you know I

32:18

don't think this is going to sell

32:20

any more listeners to tune in It's

32:22

a nice air conditioning unit in the

32:24

corner of this one. Well, I don't

32:26

know what, that is a game changer

32:28

because I was doing talk sport shows

32:30

from here. I was going to go

32:32

into a studio, I thought, I'll do

32:34

it in my shed, because good to

32:36

do all you're working in your shed.

32:38

And there was one day when it

32:40

was like 40 degrees. And I panicked,

32:42

and I bought like six bags of ice,

32:44

because I thought that like they would cool,

32:47

you know, if there's ice in the room,

32:49

it'll just like cool. But then I just

32:51

had six bags of ice, and I've got

32:53

nothing to put the ice in, right? It

32:55

felt like I was in Apollo 13. Like

32:57

this one was so hot and I was

33:00

reentering the atmosphere and I was like at

33:02

any time this thing is going to blow.

33:04

And then it did like an hour in

33:06

like the signal went down and I'm so

33:08

terrified of the signal going down a couple

33:10

of times and then just going this isn't

33:13

going to work is it? You're in a

33:15

shed in Australia. I love that you thought

33:17

the ice would call the room. We're famously

33:19

what happens is... The outside usually warms

33:21

up the ice, isn't it? That's

33:23

like 100% what always happens, but

33:25

you decided to try it out

33:28

one last time. I think there

33:30

was give and take. I think

33:32

while the room, while the sun

33:34

is melting the ice, the ice

33:36

is just giving a little back.

33:38

The sun's getting a little bit

33:41

colder. I love the idea that

33:43

it's like one of those 60s

33:45

NASA tests and like Sweat is

33:47

streaming down Max's face and he's

33:49

like, does Southampton need a

33:51

new goalkeeper? I definitely think

33:53

if you bought, let's go

33:56

mental, a dozen bags of ice.

33:58

And that's only six more. than

34:00

I bought. And so you

34:02

would change the climate of

34:04

Australia, definitely. Anyway, it didn't

34:06

work. And I was very

34:08

hot and then I had

34:10

a wet carpet. So it

34:12

didn't work. But surely you're

34:14

of a level now, James.

34:16

We could say we don't

34:19

want to get this train.

34:21

I've never been in a position

34:23

of power. I've never had any

34:25

power. I've never had any. Wow.

34:27

I don't think I've ever had

34:29

any power either. You must have

34:31

had some power like, you know,

34:33

series, whatever of the, you know,

34:36

once you guys were like, one

34:38

of you doesn't show up, the show

34:40

screwed, you would have had some

34:42

power there, right? No. We used

34:44

to get told off. We used

34:46

to have to get told off

34:49

and still made your ties so

34:51

fat. Yeah. I'm on a podcast

34:53

with two cooks. His whole lives

34:55

is just getting yelled out by

34:57

the man. Yeah, I'm the alpha

34:59

dog here. Whoa. No, I don't

35:02

know. I definitely, you have as

35:04

a sort of independent contractor going around

35:06

doing comedy gigs and. like dying on

35:09

your ars a lot for the first

35:11

10 years like there's a point in

35:13

your career we're at the start I

35:15

remember I used to just say yes

35:18

to do publicity stuff I remember once

35:20

going on I think it was called

35:22

good morning Ireland or something and

35:25

like I was plugging some charity

35:27

gig I was doing I'd agreed

35:29

to the publicity and the lads

35:32

on before me were two kids

35:34

who'd come second in the all-Ireland

35:36

wicker chair-making competition and I remember

35:38

thinking wow the guys who won

35:41

that love this show you know

35:43

you get those people that have

35:45

watched father Ted and they just

35:48

go well that must be what

35:50

Ireland is like that's not to

35:52

do anything. any favors at

35:54

all. Wicker chair making

35:57

is a it's a

35:59

It's how you got a lot of

36:01

crap in this country, yeah. This episode is

36:04

brought to you This

36:06

episode is brought to you by

36:09

Amazon. Sometimes the most painful part

36:11

of getting sick is the getting

36:13

better part. Waiting on hold for

36:15

an appointment, sitting in crowded waiting

36:18

rooms, standing in line with the

36:20

pharmacy. That's painful. Amazon One Medical

36:22

1:06:35

there was James Buckley, because this

1:06:38

isn't off menu, right? Yeah. And

1:06:40

this isn't just what's your day

1:06:42

on a plate, but I cannot,

1:06:45

and we've just stopped recording. You

1:06:47

know, and we're not here to

1:06:49

judge who's, he's, like, this is

1:06:52

actually, aren't you meant to, like,

1:06:54

what's that intermittent fasting? He's intermittent

1:06:56

fasting. I know the, I know

1:06:59

when you don't intermittent fast, you

1:07:01

know, the meal shouldn't be a

1:07:03

vindily smooth movie on chips, right?

1:07:06

But like, it's astonishing, it's astonishing

1:07:08

he's alive if that's a, that's

1:07:10

not everyday, I guess, the spell

1:07:13

is, isn't it? I can't function

1:07:15

if I don't. Fair enough, I

1:07:17

get away with just some toast

1:07:20

and peanut butter in the morning

1:07:22

or whatever. But then by about

1:07:24

12 o'clock, the systems are all

1:07:27

starting to like, just a broken

1:07:29

locomotive sound is coming from me.

1:07:31

And then I need to have

1:07:34

a big old. like decadent lunch

1:07:36

and then again by about five

1:07:38

o'clock things are starting to scream

1:07:41

more we need more food whereas

1:07:43

yeah he just just just plows

1:07:45

on but that's so interesting because

1:07:48

I say all of my day

1:07:50

is thinking about what the next

1:07:53

meal is yeah enjoying the meal

1:07:55

thinking about how much I enjoyed

1:07:57

that meal until it's time to

1:08:00

think about what the next meal

1:08:02

is. Well that's generally all I'm

1:08:04

doing all day. is like what

1:08:07

are the things, what are the

1:08:09

things I can have? But maybe

1:08:11

I have never enjoyed a curry.

1:08:14

That much. Yeah. Like James enjoyed

1:08:16

that. I love to eat, like

1:08:18

literally a curry and CSI I'm

1:08:21

in for. Yeah, yeah, it's a

1:08:23

fascinating, any scientist listening is, yeah,

1:08:25

maybe the human body is evolving

1:08:28

this way. The fact that I

1:08:30

brought up the fact, the first

1:08:32

time I ever brought up this

1:08:35

mad who's trying to live forever.

1:08:37

And it was like a mad.

1:08:39

It consumes nothing. That's too massive!

1:08:42

That's too massive bos of stellar.

1:08:44

at lunchtime and then a curry

1:08:46

for dinner. Just seemed, seemed like,

1:08:49

seemed any other guest's meals would

1:08:51

have been better suited to the

1:08:53

man trying to live forever. Do

1:08:56

you know what Max, when it

1:08:58

started off with him awake at

1:09:00

5 or 5.30. My first thought

1:09:03

was like, oh, this will really

1:09:05

appeal to like our dairy farming

1:09:07

listeners, because he's going to get

1:09:10

up. He's going to have all

1:09:12

these things done by 12 o'clock.

1:09:15

And I think they're probably our

1:09:17

most horrified listeners right there. It's

1:09:19

a farming community that hang on

1:09:22

the every word of this podcast.

1:09:24

Thank you very much though James.

1:09:26

Thank you James. It was fascinating.

1:09:29

Just like the, imagine the chips,

1:09:31

smelling the chips, if I hadn't

1:09:33

eaten for 24 hours and someone

1:09:36

put some chips near me, I

1:09:38

just wouldn't, I think I'd start

1:09:40

shaking. I think my whole body,

1:09:43

like I'd just be like, anyway,

1:09:45

yeah, if you live similarly, things

1:09:47

get in touch. If it's how.
