What is the main premise of the podcast episode?
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? No.
Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We try and 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'Doherty. Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello and welcome to season two, episode something of What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton and there is David O'Doherty. I'm David O'Doherty. Welcome, David.
Thanks for getting this guest for us again today, Max.
And yet again, I prevailed. I watched another series of Taskmaster from the past. I thought Phil Wang seems funny. I've known him a long time. I gave him a call. He said, sure. Who's it with? I said, David O'Doherty. He said, who's that? I said... Don't worry, you'll like him. He's got a lovely Irish lilt. And, you know, he's one of the good guys. And Phil said, sure, I'll come on. And here we are.
Is that how it goes? It is a delight to have Phil coming on today. He's one of my fave comedy types. He was in the Wonka movie with Timothee Chalamet. Was he? What did you do, Chalamet? Oh yeah, what did you do, Chalamet? My spin-off podcast idea. He's one of the few people who could do that then. We could ask him about it. He does Bud Pod, a very funny podcast with Pierre Novelli. Is it funnier than our podcast?
I mean, we're not here to joke around. No, you're absolutely right. In fact, the fewer laughs, the better, is how I feel about this.
We're here to find out what people did yesterday. Should we just do it? Should we just find out what Phil Wang did yesterday?
Yeah, I mean, literally, we're about to speak to him in five minutes. So we are in the same place as, and I like these ones, we're in the same place as you guys. We're just like you. We're just normal people. And we're just trying to find out what Phil Wang did yesterday. And here it is.
Phil Wang, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello!
Hello to you today, the day after yesterday.
That's the thing. Just if anyone's not familiar what happens here, and Phil, just if you don't know, what we do is we ask people what they did yesterday. Big time. That's it. Okay. Oh, I know it. Yeah, I know. I'm prepared for the format. See, we don't want too much of that now. We don't want, like, if you've got a little dance or something like that, that's not necessary.
I've got a halftime show. I'm going to call one of the comedians, you know, a pedophile for the whole, for like 15 minutes. Is that cool?
Yeah, sounds perfect. If anything, we've not been edgy enough yet during the season. We're in series two, so it'd be good if someone brought some edge to all of this, I think.
Oh, great, yeah. They call me Mr. Edge. Yeah, excellent.
That's how the guy from U2 got his name. Oh, yeah. It was edgy comedy that led to The Edge being called The Edge.
My mum met his mum once in Malaysia. Right. She's an English lady. Both my mum and the Edge's mum are English ladies. Well, not English, so Irish on his part. My mum's English. They were talking. My mum asked, so what does your son do? Oh, my son's in a band. And oh, what band? She goes, U2? Like that? U2? Nasty way to tell everyone your son's the edge.
My friend runs a foreign language school in Dublin and they got a lot of Chinese kids who just, when they come over, just pick an Irish name. So there's always a lot of Collins from Colin Farrell, you know, fine. But in one of his classes, he once had a guy called the edge and, Which is the least common, I would say, of all the traditional Irish names.
