What is the main question of 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? Hi, David O'Doherty.
Hello and welcome to today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? Yeah.
What does Ross Noble say about his day yesterday?
With special guest, Ross Noble.
Yeah. I don't think we need to spend too long on the intro of an episode I would call, Will You Just Eat The Chicken Legs, Ross? No. because you may have seen the duration. I don't know how Mars Bars cut it down in the edit, but it was our longest ever record. But I'd say perhaps a goat episode, David.
An extraordinary real interrogation of what tipping point the quiz show means. I don't want to give too much away, but... No, we don't need to. As a lifelong pointless loyalist, you know, you've got to go one way or the other. Class from a pointless fan, of course. It was... Interesting to hear how some people react to tipping points. Ross Noble is one of the most influential comedians of the last 25 years. He has, I'm going to say pioneered a style of full improvisation and then building that into shows. which means he can talk for any duration about any topic whatsoever, such as a tiny red mark on a bench.
He can do that. I'm just saying that. That might come up.
He is so funny.
And yeah, he's one of the greats. It's one of those episodes where at the start, you know, David and I like to drop in little nuggets about our lives and maybe half an hour in, we realize we don't, we can save these nuggets for another episode.
How does Ross describe his morning routine?
I think Ross has got this covered. Hey, what do we, we need to plug his show.
show david ross has a new upcoming uk tour called cranium of curiosities that's running in 25 late 25 into 26 and he's currently on itv's show shark celebrity infested waters what a what a what a show what a name who's in that lenny henry
Sharks. Chuck, Lenny Henry, Rachel Riley, I think Ade Adepitan and Ross Noble into shark-infested waters. We know that Ross has survived because he did the episode. We don't know about the others. Spoiler alert. Anyway, here's what Ross did yesterday. Ross Noble, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday.
Hello.
It's very kind of you for doing this. Just to appear behind the curtain, producer Will, just before we came on air, just said, I like the sound of you. So if you were nervous, Ross, about your voice in any sense, rest assured you have a lovely voice.
That's lovely. That's like the sort of modern version of, I like the cut of your jib.
Yeah.
I also like, as producer Will makes us all record backups of these things, you spoke, as you searched for the QuickTime icon, you sort of spoke your way through it. You know what I mean? The way, if my father's in the shed and he's looking for like a secateurs, he'll be like, now, where are you? Are you over there? No, you are not. You know what I mean? It was a nice comforting.
So I like to think that that was me thinking that I was a professional broadcaster. I didn't want to leave dead air. I'm thinking, okay, so we need to find this. Is that the thing? It turns out I'm an old Irish man in a shed, which is good.
It happens to all of us eventually. One time I really noticed it is if I'm just making the most basic sandwich in the world, sometimes in my head is a cookery program on the TV.
