Wilosophy With Wil Anderson

Campbell Walker is an illustrator, YouTuber and best-selling author, better known as his pen-name ‘Struthless’. His new book Doom and Bloom is described as a roadmap from a doom headspace to a high state of creative flow. Cam takes Wil through his journey from turbulent teenagehood, to advertising, his first time going viral, and why being sober doesn’t automatically make life easier. Cam also reflects on the impact that Wil has had on his career, and their shared outlook on creativity, the internet, and much more.

Good friend of the show and honorary doctorate, Adam Spencer joins us to wrestle with the ethics and opportunity of AI — is it as bad as Wil thinks it is? Could AI lead to an inevitable end to civilisation? Will AI stop hallucinating? And how can we use it for good? Plus, a quick check-in on Spence's beloved Sydney Swans. And while he's here - a cheeky crack that pack!

The world of cinema is full of urban legends - films that have supposedly been haunted by curses. From actors or stuntmen dying on set to the creepy ghosts of children showing up on screen. NEAPS [North East Australia Paranormal Society] returns to break down the biggest myths and mysteries to have plagued Hollywood folklore.

We've activated our sub, so Adam Spencer has come off the bench to fill in for Wil and the timing couldn't be any more perfect with the Swans keeping their finals hopes alive with a win over St Kilda (although the Spence thinks the math doesn't add up). Was Richmond vs Essendon the worst game of the year? The Crows are having a sneakily good season, but it feels like the rest of the Top 8 is anyone's guest. We speculate which coach would win a jousting tournament and Spence goes the extra mile with Tassie's new club song.  Get more Spence here: https://www.adamspencer.com.au/ See Wil live: 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.

Wil and Charlie are still taking a break from TOFOP, so this week, enjoy this recent interview with Wil on Empowering Leaders with Luke Darcy. From growing up on a farm in country Victoria to making it big on stage and screen, Wil shares the real story behind the laughs and sheds some light on the grey area of comedians crossing the line. They chat about everything from Wil’s early days idolising Billy Connolly, the hilarious story Wil told Billy when they first met, and how learning to deal with osteoarthritis while staying committed to the craft of stand-up is playing out. Wil talks openly about his creative process, the ups and downs of life in the spotlight, and why curiosity, mindfulness, and backing yourself all play a crucial role in his journey. It’s a wide-ranging, honest, and bloody entertaining conversation about leadership, resilience, and what it takes to stay true to yourself—on stage and off.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you heard of Dogmen? Despite many reported sightings describing them as tall, black fur-covered, bipedal canine creatures, they are definitely NOT werewolves, so don't you dare confuse the two. So where does this mysterious creature come from? And how are they distinct from said werewolf? Well, never fear, because NEAPS is here! Charlie and Ben explore the bizarre and murky world of these forest-dwelling monsters.Listen to Ben's podcast Boonta Vista: https://podfollow.com/1240541605 Everyone Relax Insta

In honour of the late Peter Russell Clark, we come up with a club song for the Tasmanian Devils to the tune of his ABC cooking show Come And Get It. Charlie (and most of the Saints faithful) are enamoured with cavalier blonde boy, but it's all above board, okay? Wil doubles down on Ange to the Blues and we finally have a coach contest that Chris Fagan has a good chance of winning, while Bevo is definitely losing a different one.

Charlie and Wil are taking a mid-year break, but we have a great 90s nostalgia fix for you. Charlie appeared on the podcast Swingin' On The Flippity Flop to chat 90s music. It was a transformative decade, so Charlie joins hosts Rach & Stu to discuss the merits of so-called “worst songs”, exploring how certain songs became cultural touchstones or infamous failures, and the lasting impact these songs continue to have in our lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NEAPS [North East Australia Paranormal Society] are back! Are lizard people secretly walking among us? Are they plotting to control our society? Charlie and Ben dive into the origins of this popular conspiracy theory, fuelled by author David Icke. How do shapeshifting reptilian aliens operate? Are they inter-dimensional beings? What does the "reptilian brain" have to do with it?! Charlie and Ben investigate.  Listen to Ben's podcast Boonta Vista: https://podfollow.com/1240541605 Everyone Relax Insta

We start off intending to celebrate the Bont, but somehow take a left turn and end up talking about Rory Lobb (don't worry, we get back to Bont later). After a season spent watching his work, Terry from Blue Abroad joins the show to talk about how he got into being a therapist (aka host of a Carlton fan channel). Terry is just as thoughtful and insightful as he appears, but seems as baffled as anyone about what is going wrong at the Blues - all he knows is that it needs to change. We get to your letters and try and guess which coach would win at games night.

Wil and Charlie's dreams comes true when a box arrives in the studio. It creates the ultimate crack that box, followed by a ranking to end all rankings. Their hard work has paid off, but will the high go to their heads (or stomachs). Then, a blast from the past. An old friend crashes the show to discuss their "jaunt". Wil has a problem with the word "jaunt". Then he tips over a wine glass full of water and almost kills the studio. There's a lot going on in this episode.

Welcome to the only footy pod to honour the winter solstice, then dive into the struggles of Carlton fans, and the rise of Fremantle's young stars. Could Ross Lyon be a deadbeat coach? And what's up with Luke Jackson's tattoos? A listener draws parallels between Carlton and Spurs fans, and Wil gives his take on which AFL coach would win Survivor.

Alan Davies is one of the world's great comedians. Since he emerged in the UK's stand-up scene in the late 80s, he's forged a successful career across radio and television. He's been a permanent panellist on the BBC's long-running game show QI, and published two books about his life (with a third coming this September). But performing in front of a live audience still holds a special place in Alan's heart. He reflects on his life and career, the importance of creativity, and how he still manages to find the funny in the everyday. Alan will be bringing his new stand-up show, Think Ahead, to Australia this November and December.  Follow Alan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alandaviescomic/ 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 has a sinus infection and his lack of medical treatment risks an unavoidable spa treatment, 24 months in the making. He makes it to the massage but at what cost? Geez we're all getting old aren't we? Wil has a confession to make about a birthday gift gone wrong. The pair compare questionable gig behaviour — sausage roll vs meth pipe edition before creating a new kids TV series titled, 'Jungle Jim' who fights his arch nemesis, 'Laptop Larry'.

Charlie's message to suffering Saints fans is plagued with technical issues, making it an apt metaphor for their season. Did Nintendo learn a thing or two from Colgate and bring in a random celeb to play the loser role in their commercial. Nat Fyfe is back and on a mission to have the most ripped abs in the league now that Bailey Smith is getting all the attention and a listener suggests a rule change that the boys love, but only Nick Daicos will be able to execute.
