What unique question does the podcast aim to answer?
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? Welcome to today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? David O'Doherty is here. Hello, David.
This is an exciting one because I think I have said a lot of these people are my genuine friends, but Joe Wilkinson is one of my oldest pals in comedy. Wow. He was in a sketch group originally with Diane, who is now Philomena Kunk. And I think I went to see their show like a creepy number of times at the Edinburgh Fringe one year, where they started noticing me in the audience, in the fairly sparse audience, to be honest, just sitting there day after day. And I actually wangled my way into the failed TV pilot that we tried to make of that show. But... Yeah. Joe's gone from strength to strength. Obviously, Countdown, 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown. And then Newt Cockfield's numerous writing projects.
He's a proper actor. He's in Afterlife. I mean, I've given him a really good intro, Max.
Yeah. Interestingly, I've never met him. Yeah. And yet I was the one that booked him. I just think we should just say, for the record, we have in common, as he's a Gillingham fan, we've both shared the manager, Neil Harris. And I think that is about as important as the connection that you have with Joe Wilkinson.
Well, shared the manager does imply you both briefly went out with Neil Harris. We did both briefly, but it probably won't come up.
And if I could ask you, don't bring it up because it's a sore point for Joe. So don't say I said it.
When I conceived of this podcast originally, and if you are going to claim to book all the guests, I'm going to claim to this to be my idea. This was the first person ever. That I thought of God, I'd love to know what Joe Wilkinson did yesterday And we're about to find out Let's do it
Joe Wilkinson, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Thank you for coming on.
Thank you for having me.
How are you feeling?
I'm paranoid about being hot on my mic, as your producer said. So I'm really, I was told to tune in the mic, so now I'm sort of fixated at not moving.
No, Joe, hot on the mic, it's a term in the industry, meaning because you were just spitting out crypto stuff. Yeah.
Was it my rap song that was too much?
Yeah.
I've never been confident enough to rap in front of anyone before, so I appreciate that.
How did Joe Wilkinson and the hosts know each other?
I'm really hoping that at some point yesterday you rapped to yourself and therefore you'll have to do that rap for us.
Did I rap yesterday? Did I, did I, did I? Did I, did I, did I? What's today?
What time does it begin at? That's really what I want to know.
What time do I get up? No, what time do you wake up? I wake up around about 6.30. Okay. Yep. No alarm needed. Right. And it's irrelevant what time I've gone to bed.
Yep. Don't care.
Okay. Cut that then. Cut that. Please cut that. 6.30, I usually... Sometimes, this is weird, and I did it yesterday, if there's a new football podcast that I want to listen to, I'll listen to that in the dark for a few minutes, maybe 20 minutes, and then I'll get up and begin my day. I was starting to ask which football podcast you chose to listen to for 20 minutes. Yesterday, I listened to Rio Ferdinand talk about... Rio presents talking about the state of the Manchester United team.
