What is the main question the podcast seeks 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?
Who is Jess Knappett and what are her notable works?
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 Series 2 episode. We don't know anymore, but it doesn't matter, David.
It's the 100th episode of Series 2. This is a tricky one.
What did Jess do yesterday that was interesting?
So Jess Knappert's coming on, who's brilliant and hilarious. You'll know it from all the things. No, don't say that. Jess wrote, starred in Drifters and has been in tons of cool stuff since then. She hosts a podcast that is probably... The most similar to ours, Max?
I'd say it's a direct rival. It's called Perfect Day. And I'm absolutely furious that she's been allowed onto our podcast. But I think the key, David, is we don't mention it. So absolutely no mention of it.
Really? It's got a giant animal with a trunk in the corner of the room that somehow... She could be coming onto this podcast to ruin it.
I don't know how malevolent Nap it is.
I'll try.
How does Jess handle her daily routine and challenges?
She's not malevolent. She was once the star. I had a failed sitcom pilot that she was quite clearly the best thing in by a billion miles.
Do you want to redo it and I could be in it?
Okay, yeah. It's set on an Antarctic ship frozen in the ice in 1915.
My sitcom idea, which I don't think you think is a good idea, where you play my brother on Zoom, that is, I seriously think it's got legs. What's the sitcom idea? I don't want to say it. I think it's too good to actually tell people about it. But how are we brothers? We don't sound similar at all. Yes. Yeah. That's the thing.
What techniques does Jess use for personal wellness?
And Dara O'Brien's another brother and Barry Glenn Denning's my other brother. We only ever meet on Zoom. Honestly, I haven't written anything because I don't know how to write scripts, but I think it's got legs. think it's got legs it's called wait for this it's called max okay so let's get on with today's yes yeah i'm excited to meet jess well let's look cards on the table we've just finished the episode it is really good it's a very busy day a lot happens and as long as we don't mention the rivalry i think
Yeah, we will definitely try not to mention that in the one that we've just recorded and are clearly aware that we mentioned it pretty much straight off the top. Yeah, here it is.
Jess Knappett, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
Thank you. Hello. Thank you for having me.
We didn't rip off your podcast. They're different.
No, you didn't. Who came up? I'm really glad we've started with this.
What insights does Jess share about parenting and family life?
Yeah, it's the elephant in the room.
Who came up with the idea for your podcast?
Not me. Let me just say that in full confidence. I booked the guests.
Who came up with the idea for your podcast?
The thing is, I had been listening to, do you know Jess Knappett? She's coming up with some ideas. And I was like, that is perfect. That is a good idea, but that's gone. But I was trying to think of a thing a bit like that. That's how I came up with this.
So it was you, Matt.
This is a bit like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino meeting in heat.
Yeah.
How does Jess integrate her creative pursuits into her life?
It is, actually. And I can't remember anything that either of them said because it would be really good if I did.
Yeah, if we both knew it. So my real question to you, Jess, is what are your intentions? Because you obviously host Perfect Day, the podcast.
We're not so different, Mian.
We're both in the day market. We thought we had the day.
We are huge day fans, all of us.
