What is discussed at the start of this section?
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 today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? David O'Doherty is sitting in front of me. Welcome, David.
I am very happy to have Matthew Crosby on the podcast today. So I met him originally from Pappies, which was like they swept the boards at the Edinburgh Fringe and in sort of live sketch comedy around the 2010s, something like that. And he's still doing the Pappy's Flat Chair podcast, which is one of my favorite podcasts. And then he does the radio show with Ed Gamble on XFM on a Sunday morning. That's also a podcast. So I am well, Max, and I'm also excited to have Gok Crosby on the podcast.
Yeah, I mean, I call him Crosbox because we go back... We go back so, so long.
What is the significance of asking 'What did you do yesterday?'
I met him in an hour and a half ago for the tape we have just recorded. But yes, he does a radio show on Radio X, which goes from eight until 11. And the way to remember it is just before me and Barry Glendening do a talk show at 11 till one. I think at one third, sometimes one third. It's annoying. They gave us an extra half hour. I didn't really want that.
Do you think it's like Oppenheimer and Barbie, people who just go through the full Crosby and Gamble right through to you and Barry then? I think so.
I think there's a lot of people just switching going click at that exact moment. But look, we'll be back for the debrief. But it's a good day. There's a lot in it. It's a packed day. And here it is. Here's what Matthew Crosby did yesterday.
Matthew Crosby, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello. Thank you so much. What a delight. It's a delight to meet you, Max. It's a delight to see you, David. Thanks for having me on. It's a pleasure.
Thanks for coming on the podcast, Crosbox. Now, I will be calling you Crosbox throughout this. Oh, is it one of those? No, it's a nickname that I gave him when I first met him in about... 2007, 2008, and it's never caught on. I just thought if I just kept doing it, not a single person has ever called you Crossbox.
How does Matthew Crosby's background influence the conversation?
My brother gave himself a nickname to the point where he has a tattoo of it. Yeah, he's called himself the Duke. And he's got a tattoo that says Duke on it. And I don't know what Duke Ellington feels about this.
That's like a 90s footballer.
That's really good. Well, that's his era, you know. And he's got a tattoo of it. But I've literally never heard anybody say, hey, Duke, what's going on later on or, you know.
Where is it? I mean, it's not like that person had sort of like twat written on their forehead. It's not on his forehead, is it?
No, he hasn't gone for the bold move of forehead tattoo. He soft launched, if anything, using the upper arm. I think at least one other person has to be calling you the Duke if you're going to go for the stamp on the forehead.
All you need, though, is a gravestone, you know, with the Duke written on it. And then at least future generations when they walk past that. I'm sorry to go so bleak with your brother now. No, no, that's fine. But I think the gravestone is the last opportunity to assert this nickname.
You're forgetting about the great work of Gunter Von Hagen. That's what he should really do. Do you remember Gunter Von Hagen, the body works guy?
