"Get on stage, don't bump into the furniture, tell the truth, get off." Reuben Kaye is a performer who is hard to categorise. Not just a cabaret artist, not just a stand-up, and not just a drag performer. Reuben is an artist that loves to push buttons and boundaries. Reuben and Wil chat about the place of rage and anger in his work, what being a 'diva' really means, and 'The Project' controversy one year on.

TOFOP is holding it's annual shareholders meeting at The Basement in Melbourne! To the layman, it looks like very similar to a live show attended by the TOFOP Patreon members. Special guests Deeksie and Osher help moderate a Q&A for Wil and Charlie featuring some interesting hypotheticals. Plus, it wouldn't be a TOFOP record without another special guest – TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!!!! It's all you could want, and more, from TOFOP live!

Tom Ballard is here for a completely apolitical conversation! Absolutely no gear about landlords, the Voice referendum, or the Labour Party to be heard, NO SIR! Wil and Tom, of course, chat all this and more – with Wil continually bringing up a recent sore spot for Tom.

The 2 Guys 1 Cup Cup has been awarded and neither Wil nor Charlie feel particularly good about it. Have the Crows been cursed by their infamous pre-season camp and what can they do to reverse it? Carlton fans continue to keep the lid on, which only arouses suspicion about who got to them. Brodie Grundy delivers the acting performance of his life before his 200th. And more WA listeners write in to share their opinions on the Eagles v Dockers rivalry and what teams they really hate.

"Imagine the other person's point of view, always." Wil caught up with his old mate Ed Byrne ahead of the AU/NZ run of his critically-acclaimed new show 'Tragedy Plus Time'. They chat about what you would learn at 'The School of Ed Byrne', why being funny is harder than being serious, how comedy has changed in their time, and the act that were right not to follow Ed's advice...

Charlie saw Five live!! He tells Wil all about the experience, and the surprising person he spotted in the crowd... Plus, it's time to empty the mailbag! How much do Wil and Charlie know about Canada? Could they survive being locked in a comedy club with their fans? Can Charlie spell 'penicillin' even slightly correctly?

Charlie brings in Mr Sunday Movies (AKA James Clement) to try and answer a big pop culture question: Are superhero movies really on the decline? And if so, where did it all go wrong? Emphasis on the word try because tangents include the benefits of being a Short King actor, Tom Cruise's plastic surgery, nostalgia loops, and CGI penises.

This week's episode is a Western Australian special as we ask how big things could get for Harley Reid and get into the Eagles v Docker's rivalry with some input from our WA listeners. It was a good weekend for Port and Crows fans, but not so good for the Saints and Bulldogs, which is unfortunate for the hosts of this show, particularly Ril Anderson.

"Live a life worth commenting on." Olga Koch has certainly been doing what she can to live up to this philosophy - not just as a comedian, but in all aspects of her life. She chats with Wil about growing up in Russia with a father that became an enemy of the state, her personal balance between delusion and self-awareness, and the Aussie-themed tattoo she has on her foot.

Charlie has another airport story for Wil, but let's just say it's not as complimentary as last week's. They also try to get to the bottom of why middle-aged blokes get so into golf and surfing, and what animal they would prefer to be eaten by. Plus, the return of Charlie's Clobservations leads Wil to reveal the one place he doesn't want to be recognised.

The day Charlie has hoped for has finally years - an excuse to do an entire episode on professional wrestling. The Rock's return to the WWE has turbo-charged wrestling back into the mainstream and Wrestlemania (aka "the showcase of the immortals") took place this weekend in Philadelphia. Comedian Michael Chamberlin joins Charlie to discuss all the major talking points, as well as the suspension of disbelief required to enjoy what is ultimately a ridiculous form of entertainment.

"Say the truth faster." Chris Parker is a New Zealand actor, comedian, writer and TV personality - though you might know him best from his hilarious Instagram and TikTok videos. Wil sits down with the self-proclaimed 'People's Princess of Aotearoa' to chat about his museum-worthy hat, what it was like coming out in his 20s, and the advice from NZ comedy legends The Topp Twins that he takes with him in life.

Charlie's been on the road a bit and he's got an airport story for Wil – but first they need to re-hash the definition of an Eshay... This leads them down a rabbithole about whether or not people still steal stuff. Plus, why are people from Byron so aggressive on Facebook? Aren't they meant to be relaxed?? And how can Charlie strike a balance between looking smart and not being pretentious at the art gallery?  Listen to Wilosophy with Mary Coustas: https://pod.fo/e/227004  See Wil live: https://comedy.com.au/artist/wil-anderson/  Everyone Relax merch, Patreon, and more: https://linktr.ee/TOFOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wil and Charlie stumble upon their theme for the 2024 AFL season. Has the competition gone soft when it comes to playing in inclement weather? West Coast are a historically bad team but incredibly wealthy, so why not let them buy some priority picks. And our very own Podcast Mike returns to the show with a shocking confession.

Being a comedian is a delicate balance between the truth, the surreal, and the exaggerated – and no comedian knows that better than John Hastings. John and Wil catch up ahead of John's run at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and chat about being done with hot takes, rebranding monogamy for Gen Z, and the fashion moments on stage they regret most...

"Life is absolute chaos." David O'Doherty had a realisation as a depressed 11-year-old that he has carried with him ever since. In this episode, he chats to Wil about finding profundity in silly stories, his connection to Australia, and why he's pissed off that every comedian writes children's books now.

It's the end of the month which means it's time to empty the mailbag! But first, Charlie brings in a new segment called 'Clobservations', which explores deep existential concepts such as "Why don't you see white dog poo anymore?" Wil and Charlie are reminded of an old idea for a live show, and field some feedback from a 70 year-old listener on 'the good old days'...  See Wil live: https://comedy.com.au/artist/wil-anderson/  Everyone Relax merch, Patreon, and more: https://linktr.ee/TOFOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel Kim Booster is one of the most exciting names working in comedy today. Hot off the success of his Netflix special Psychosexual and film Fire Island, Joel sits down with Wil ahead of his run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. They chat about the difference between American and Australian audiences, trying to avoid comparing himself to other comedians, and the pressure of being seen as a representative of certain communities.

Charlie and Wil are joined by Junktime's Michael Chamberlin to discuss what's like to barrack for a club where the word "threepeat" is gets you through the hard times. Jack Higgins' goal draws comparisons to the WWE, which naturally leads to imagining Ross Lyon in a bikini. And the enduring celebrity power of Big Brother's Hotdogs is finally acknowledged.
