What unique perspective does Alan Davies bring to the podcast?
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? I'm Max Rushton.
Alongside me, in it for life, David O'Shaughnessy. For the tape, as you say, we have just recorded this.
How does Alan Davies describe his morning routine?
I am described in it by our guest today, the wonderful Alan Davies, as a man who hasn't looked at himself in the mirror, I think, did he say, for 10 years? Something like that. How did you feel at that description? Do you know what? When he said it initially, I was sort of proud because it implies a sort of non-vanity. But then I think he might have been getting at something else that, in fact, I look like something that's just emerged from a pond.
But it makes it sound like a spiky episode and it's not. It's lovely. I'm surprised you asked him how many times, you know, if Jonathan Creek was coming back. I didn't know he was such a fan.
Alan Davies, you will know him. Well, you'll know him from a variety of things. yeah he's been on qi forever wonderful stand-up comedian he's back on tour in the autumn with his new show uh tickets are available from alan davies dot live dot live is a thing now that's good isn't it that's really good then you know it's live isn't it do you think when you pass from this mortal coil you change it to dot dead He's also publicizing. The reason he really came on was to publicize his book. Yes. Which is called white male standup. And yeah, he's been doing the spicy publicity round for that. He speaks about that during the, during the podcast to people, maybe from other countries that don't know like small boats and,
does sound like an adorable children's cartoon or something. You know, a bit like Paw Patrol or something, where it's a dinghy that's friends with a... That's generally not what the Sunday Express are talking about. That's all you need to know.
Yeah, we get into that. Yeah, that is true. I'd forgotten about that bit. Anyway, here is what Alan Davies did yesterday.
MUSIC PLAYS
Alan Davies, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello, thank you. Now, David, I don't know if you're aware of Alan, but he is what I would say is a very accomplished and a very sensible footballer. There's no higher compliment. I can give. Wow.
I've never heard a footballer described as sensible before. I've been a follower of the game for over 50 years. Now I'm the captain sensible.
Is that not the same role that Max plays? So is it possible that you two can play on the same team? Because you both occupy the, I would imagine, shouting a lot at people role.
Well, we rarely do play in the same... We have played in many games together, but not in the same team. That's a fair observation. Although Max shouts much more than me. Yeah. In fact, Max passes comment on nearly every pass that's made in the game. Usually my favourite is, love that, love that. And the other one is, this is a good one, all football players will know this one, don't mind that. People have different ways of saying they're available for a pass, don't they? If you want, if you want, if you need. You know Gordon, Max, who goes, or me, or me. Always saying you're available.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're absolutely right. But I would say we're both positive forces on a football pitch.
