What is the premise of the podcast 'What Did You Do Yesterday?'
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 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.
Who is Phil Ellis and what is his connection to comedy?
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, everybody. Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton. With me today is David O'Doherty, and this, David, is a good one.
The featured guest on today's episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? is Phil Ellis, who fans of comedy will, Edinburgh Fringe, whatnot, will know him from Funs and Games and his own unique and wonderful stand-up going back for some time. And his recent appearances on Taskmaster. I think he's the first guest we've ever had that's been on that show, Max.
I don't know of Taskmaster, but it sounds popular. Now, I will say about this Phil's episode, and no spoilers here, but it is nutritionally interesting. I think it's fair to say. It has the bit that I have laughed uncontrollably the most within it.
What were Phil Ellis's experiences in the Travelodge?
And now you're going to say exactly what the thing is. Don't say what the thing is.
I think I now understand the parameters of how much we're allowed to flag upcoming good bits. But to the listeners, Max did put in the WhatsApp group. This is the best bit we've ever had on the podcast.
But it was the bit where I laughed uncontrollably. There was a moment where I couldn't really carry on asking. And then you got off the bus or whatever, because I was just thinking about the thing that he described as the worst moment of his life. This is awful clickbait.
Like with clickbait, I feel you have to give them a little bit more.
Don't give him anything. Don't give him anything. Give him nothing.
Phil is on tour around Great Britain until October with his show, Bathmat. And if you want to know what Phil Ellis is like, and also what he did yesterday, keep listening.
Phil Ellis, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
Hello, good to be here. Max, you know that we're against video. A lot of these podcasts are doing video, but we see each other for the recording of this. And Phil, because of the celestial light in a slightly, I gotta say, dark-ish room, Phil does look like he's dead.
How does Phil Ellis describe his morning routine?
Yeah. It will be interesting if in the course of his yesterday, he did in fact die. And this is the first time we've spoken to someone from the afterlife.
And what you have to say is credit the man for still coming on the pod because many, many would turn up.
I've got a gig in Chorley later as well. It's been in the diary for months, so I couldn't let them down.
It'll be weird when you go to take the mic out of the stand. I think it'll be fine so long as you're talking into the mic in the stand. But as soon as you try to impact on the material world or get paid, the money will physically go through your hand. That'd be the two problems. Oh, it's not been cash in hand in years, don't you know this?
sorry phil gotta declare everything sorry for suggesting that actually as a dead person not i'm recommending evading tax but that is a really good i think it's a good way of doing they'd find you they'd still find you i reckon exhumed by the hmrc you'll be going over the river and they'll go hey what's that money you're giving the boatman i'm claiming it for travel 45 per mile isn't it
You get to the pearly gates and St. Peter is listening to an old episode of What Did You Do Yesterday? And he's just about to wave you through.
