What unique approach does Omid Djalili take to his daily routine?
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? I like to have different mics, like Whitesnake would have different guitars. You know, they just hand you the same guitar. It's no different that you just get a different guitar and go... Hello, everybody, and welcome to... I hope that stays in. A nice sort of falling on air intro to today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? Hi, David O'Doherty.
I mean, I guess we'll know we've made it when, just for our benefit, because generally videos of this don't go out, when we get spongy covers for the mics with the name of the podcast on it. That's the sign, Max.
I mean, I have spongy mics for all my other broadcasting. to you yeah i've got this spongy mic for talk sport i have this spongy mic for football weekly for all my endeavors but as yet i have no what did you do yesterday spongy mic yeah spongy mic does sound like a toast of london we must go and tell spongy mic of course
Whenever one of our guests falls through, we'll have to ask Spongy Mike.
I don't want to get Spongy Mike on. I bet his day was boring. We know the pods ended when Spongy Mike comes on. Anyway, today's guest is Omid Jalili. And I booked him. Not like in a jokey way. I booked. I'm on a run. I'm on a run.
You would expect him to be in my Venn diagram more so than yours as a great comedian, but he is a brilliant footballer, which I guess moves into yours. Having played with him a couple of times, he absolutely controlled the middle of the field. In addition to that, his movie credits, I did have a look at his Wikipedia and it is absolutely ridiculous. It's half of the blockbusters from your gladiators to your mummies or whatever. So many things.
How does Omid Djalili incorporate humor into discussions about health?
He's just a tremendously interesting guy. And we haven't recorded it yet. So this isn't one of those intros where I talk about how excited I am. And then you reveal that we've actually just recorded it and it turned out fine.
I'm a big fan of his. He's got great energy. But you never know. Maybe he has no energy for yesterday. We don't know yet because we haven't done it. But I feel full of optimism. He's on tour. I did check. He's touring sort of endlessly, like amazing. Yeah. As I said, energy. He's touring and touring and touring and touring. So whenever he comes on the radio with me, he always says, after I do a little bit on your radio show, he loses followers on all social media networks. So after a whole hour and a bit, who knows? He'll go down to zero on his Instagram.
That's our dream. That we'll know this has worked.
But anyway, this is what Omid Jalili did yesterday.
Omid Jalili, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? It's really good to be here. Lovely to see you both. Great to see David O'Doherty. I haven't seen him for a few years. And like most Irish comedians, he's been on the sad solo tour. I think I have to teach him a few things about how to enjoy yourself. Because when you're with people, you write more material. It's more joyous. And every single Irish comic I know, however brilliant they are, they're just saddest bastards I've ever met.
So what you're saying is your tour, you go from sort of banquet to dance hall and then you sort of appear on stage laughing joyously, whereas we cut ourselves off from everything.
