Wilosophy With Wil Anderson

It's a warm welcome back to Celia Pacquola! We catch Celia on the verge of a brand new standup show - which she wasn't planning to do, until a couple of months before this interview. After her partner gave her an inflatable kayak for her birthday, an idea struck! Her new show, Gift Horse, is about the people we love and the things they give us that we hate. Plus; what Celia thinks of jazz, the dog joke she never put into a show, new year rituals, and the correct way to slice toast.

Welcome back to TOFOP. This week, Charlie has a squishy nose! Plus, Wil and Charlie analyse a recent interview with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and discuss his personal rebrand - less muscly, arty and softly spoken. Plus, we complete a Cookie Factory trilogy in Crack That Pack. 

Charlie completes his mission to have on all the members of the The Footy as Tom Zahariou joins the pod to talk about the simmering rivalry between the Saints and the Nepo bab... ahem, Gold Coast Suns. We finally have a good (if slightly bizarre) round of footy to discuss, but what's happened to the Dogs? And do Richmond and North (yes, North) have something worry about? Plus, Gerard Healy goes X-rated in the Dees v Lions game.

Scottish comedy powerhouse Daniel Sloss is back on the pod and he's not holding anything back. With his trademark brutal honesty, he dives deep into accountability, what it means to be a responsible role model for men without being a complete nightmare, and the vital role his wife, kids, and therapy have had in his growth. He also unpacks how running his mouth about the London comedy scene has essentially barred him from mainstream UK television – a badge he wears with surprising pride (but wouldn't mind taking off if they'd get in touch). Between laughs Daniel reflects on the advice he'd give his younger self, discusses his explosive new worldwide tour "Bitter," and explains why being an "unproblematic Andrew Tate" (his words) might be exactly what the world needs right now. It's raw, hilarious, and refreshingly real – classic Sloss with zero filter. LINKS See Bitter in a city near you at https://danielsloss.com/tour/.

Charlie's daughter is obsessed with the 6-7 trend. How long will this meme last?! The discussion then quickly moves to how Wil and Charlie consume information and get their news, and the rapidly changing online landscape. Charlie shares a story about playing a ring-and-hook game at a bar and wonders whether the high from small achievements is equivalent to climbing Everest. Plus; the King of nuts and a Crack That Pack sequel.

Charlie has been holding out on getting another Saints fan on the show, but the time has come to unleash Matt Stewart. They talk about why barracking for a bad team is actually good, why the media seems to hate the Saints, and the growing conspiracy around the missing Butters audio.

Today's guest needs no introduction. It's Hughesy! Strap yourself in for a wide-ranging chat, from Hughesy's podcast van project to his philosophical outlook on life and comedy. Dave and Wil also talk sport; why Hughesy thinks he can win the Australian Open, plus the AFL Legends match that put him in hospital.  See Dave Hughes on tour - https://davehughes.com.au/tour-dates/#tourdates See Wil on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/wil-anderson/  Support Everyone Relax on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax  Everyone Relax on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/everyone.relax/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes, Wil gets recognised, but not always for his own name. Wil shares a story about running into a fan at a music festival, which leads to a discussion about merchandise. Should TOFOP have loungewear merch? What about Everyone Relaxwear?! Plus; thumb wars at Metallica concerts, comedians with shortened names, the Sean Combs: The Reckoning docu-series, and a fresh-from-the-oven Crack That Pack.

After another disastrous fade out, Charlie is joined by Carlton supporter Terry Dehghani from Blue Abroad who shares his insights on the club's ongoing struggles, the evolution of AFL culture, and the importance of authenticity and community in the sport. Plus: who had the worst commentary moment, Ben Dixon or Nick Riewoldt?  Follow Blue Abroad on Insta: @blueabroadofficial Watch Blue Abroad: https://www.youtube.com/@BlueAbroad See Wil on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/wil-anderson/  Support Everyone Relax on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax  Everyone Relax on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/everyone.relax/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Wilosophy, it's a warm welcome back to Nath Valvo! If his stint on I'm A Celeb taught him anything, it's that Nath is a homebody, which is exactly the premise of his new stand-up show. Nath doesn't like going anywhere, but he's trying to say yes to more things. In this great chat with Wil, Nath discusses anxiety, imposter syndrome and the trouble with eating a meal before performing. Nath also speaks about prepping for his new tour, script writing, and the new podcast scam duping comedians.  See Nath on tour - https://comedy.com.au/tour/nath-valvo/ The Buck Up podcast - https://pod.link/1742481169 See Wil on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/wil-anderson/  Support Everyone Relax on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax  Everyone Relax on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/everyone.relax/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've got letters! It's another big episode of reading your emails, and one particular listener question has us casting ourselves in a TOFOP Murder Mystery! Who will play the detective? The sidekick? The culprit?! Tune in this week to find out. 

Charlie is attempting to revive The Footy With Broden Kelly one member at time by having Marnie Vinall join him on the show. Marnie talks about how she became a Bombers supporter during at time when the club was at their lowest, and how that has shaped her view of the club and the mess they find themselves in today. Has the AFL lost touch with the fans? Do we need things like Kiss Cam and karaoke when the footy should be enough? We also talk about coach double speak and who would be more compelling premier, Fremantle or Gold Coast.  Follow Marnie on Insta: @marnie.vinall See Wil on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/wil-anderson/  Support Everyone Relax on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax  Everyone Relax on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/everyone.relax/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New year, new show. For Gillian Cosgriff, January is a tough month, writing a new show in time for its debut in a matter of weeks. We catch Gillian right in that moment and hear how she's navigating the pressure. Also in this episode; the time when Gillian learned her Spotify playlist was public, why the audience don't need to know what a show is about, and the pros and cons of social media for comedians.  See Gillian on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/gillian-cosgriff/ Sashi Perera episode of Wilosophy: https://everyonerelax.co/wilosophy/wilosophy-sashi-perera-remember-youre-going-to-die/ See Wil on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/wil-anderson/  Support Everyone Relax on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax  Everyone Relax on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/everyone.relax/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie wants to know, what songs make your skin crawl? Wil can't think of any, so we break down a list of the most hated songs, according to the internet. Then the discussion turns to artists tour riders - the crazy requests bands make for their backstage dressing rooms and tour buses. 

Charlie is joined by GWS tragic Alex Williams to discuss the Saints' surprise win, Giants' slippery slope, hamstring havoc, and Ben Dixon's baffling commentary. They dive into the Suns' engineered success, cheeky Jack Ginnivan's antics, and the wizardry of AFL ads. Alas, they recorded before the start of Eagles and North so there's no discussion of that result, which could be good or bad depending on who you barrack for.

Today on Wilosophy, Tom Ballard returns! Mixing comedy and politics isn't anything new for Tom. But how do you be funny in times of tension and polarisation? That's the premise of Tom's new show, Be Funny Challenge (Impossible). In this episode, Tom and Wil discuss navigating the current political climate as comedians, activist art, and why joking doesn’t mean you don’t take important issues seriously. Tom also shares about his Melbourne Fringe play, JKS? a Comedy(?), which is getting a special run at MICF this year.

The Bee Gees 'You Should Be Dancing' is a disco classic. But one particular line in the lyrics has Charlie (and the internet) puzzled. We dive deep on deciphering the lyrics and the meaning behind the song. Plus, an epic Crack That Pack fail. 

Charlie is joined by Dees fan Rana Hussain to discuss why she wants to know what it's like to be tackled and who's on her sh*tlist. We also look at all the action from round one, including, Max Gawn's leadership, Freo's flakiness and that dirty sniper Pendles finally being brought to justice.

It's another return guest this week, as Wil checks in with Bronwyn Kuss! Contrary to the episode title, Bron doesn't have any sons - or daughters, for that matter. But a drunk witch did tell her once that she'd make a great mum. Bron is still undecided about the whole thing. In this great conversation with Wil, she discusses morning routines, working at a butcher shop, her new standup show Bronwyn Kuss & Sons, and more.  See Bronwyn on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/bronwyn-kuss/ Bronwyn Kuss on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bronwynkuss See Wil on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/wil-anderson/  Support Everyone Relax on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax  Everyone Relax on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/everyone.relax/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another TOFOP! Just before we recorded this episode, a text response Charlie received from Wil had him confused and little concerned...but Wil sets the record straight. Then the guys wonder what a podcast cruise might look like. Could we do a TOFOP Cruise?! Plus, Charlie can't sleep and it might have something to with watching AI disaster simulation videos at night. Then, Charlie's meeting with a psychic gets the guys talking about souls, the afterlife and imagining a new movie set in limbo.
