Everyone Relax

Tim Rogers has lived the rockstar life. He's also not a stranger on the cricket pitch in the country Victorian town he calls home. He joins Wil on the eve of You Am I's STRUNG UP tour for a reflective look at his career, how he turns up in his role as a partner and father, and how his creative process has evolved over the decades. We get into regrets and the intertwining of alcohol, drugs, and rock and roll, finding joy in fiction and revisiting funny lyrics on long walks in the bush.  Tim reflects on a time when was angry at Wil for a joke made about him on an episode of Gruen - and the insight he now has into that moment.  Settle in for a thoughtful, warm and highly reflective chat about staying curious, owning your flaws, and finding heaven on earth in a simple cup of tea or a beer with family.

Wil wants to talk about space movies, Charlie argues there's no such thing, and Cambo helps take us through the Fast and Furious franchise in all its chronologically confusing glory. Plus, we tackle two listener-submitted hypotheticals. One existential proposition about dying or getting a chance to live a portion of life over again but you can't change anything, and 2, one that might finally get us a sponsorship from Haighs... or blacklisted for life. 00:00 Opening: Zen, Star Wars & “Skill Rex” 01:36 What counts as a space movie? 04:14 Where to start with Fast & Furious 08:31 The increasingly chaotic Fast & Furious titles 12:10 The franchise’s villains, family & resurrections 15:21 Vin Diesel’s unhinged internet era 17:55 Vin Diesel: movie star, producer & franchise builder 21:26 Street Sharks, Pitch Black & Riddick 25:07 xXx, Ice Cube & action-star archetypes 28:43 Ice-T, cops & Law & Order 31:25 Listener hypotheticals begin 32:31 The Reset: back to 2011 with future knowledge 41:14 The Chocolate Factory hypothetical 50:14 Are Oompa Loompas enslaved? 52:32 Wonka, Patreon & the sign-off 53:04 Tim Rogers, You Am I & an old misunderstanding LINKS Watch clips of the show on Youtube https://bit.ly/ER-youtube and Instagram @everyonerelax https://bit.ly/everyonerelax-ig  Email the show [email protected] Support the show via Patreon at https://bit.ly/ER-patreon Join TOFOP mailing list at the bottom of this page https://everyonerelax.co/?s=mailing+list .

Wil sits down with actor, comedian, and improviser Amy Ruffle for a hilarious and moving conversation about resilience, creative growth, and finding your voice. Amy opens up about her life-altering diagnosis of two benign brain tumours blocking her brain's drainage system, which forced her to sleep upright, sauna daily, and ultimately served as the catalyst to stop making excuses and pursue solo stand-up comedy. Then we get into exploring the transition from team-based improv to the vulnerability of solo storytelling, the mechanics behind Amy's vodcast Sauna Sessions (and the bizarre public sauna behaviour she's witnessed, like steam-room burritos), and why authentic human connection on stage matters more than ever. In 2027 make sure to see Amy at MICF and at Adelaide Fringe.

The source of one of the longest running memes/stories/cartoons in TOFOP history joins the pod. The one, the only, Ditch - as in hole - Davey. Wil, Charlie and Ditch get into what is was like working on one of Australia's most beloved TV shows with Blue Heelers, how Ditch got the acting bug, and is Ditch REALLY his name? Plus, Ditch breaks down his latest acting roles, including his appearance in the upcoming Wolf Creek 3 (directed by Sean Lahiff) and the horror-comedy Stan Original series Gnomes, and shares hilarious onset memories from filming commercials and the lost FX pilot Shark Lords. 00:00 – Welcome Ditch Davey ("Ditch as in hole") 02:00 – Where the Nickname "Ditch" Came From 05:15 – Officially Changing His Name at 18 08:25 – Early Podcast Mic Struggles 10:30 – The Blue Heelers Reunion & Joining the Show 14:20 – Filming Blue Heelers: Schedules & Transition to HD 22:30 – The Blue Heelers Audition & First Meeting 28:20 – Acting Craft, Character Choices & TV Sets 35:00 – How Ditch Got into Acting & Drama School 41:35 – First Commercials (Eclipse Gum & Tigerlily) 45:30 – Filming Wolf Creek TV Series & Upcoming Film 57:05 – The Gnomes Series & Shark Lords LINKS See Ditch in GNOMES on Stan https://www.stan.com.au/watch/gnomes  Follow @ditchdaveyofficial on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ditchdaveyofficial/  Support the Patreon and see the OG "Ditch as in Hole" Comic by James Fosdike  https://bit.ly/ditch-comic  Keep an eye on the release date for Wolf Creek 3 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4776944/  Watch clips of the show on Youtube https://bit.ly/ER-youtube and Instagram @everyonerelax https://bit.ly/everyonerelax-ig  Email the show [email protected] Join TOFOP mailing list at the bottom of this page https://everyonerelax.co/?s=mailing+list .

In this episode of Wilosophy, Wil sits down with Australian musician Kevin Mitchell, frontman of Jebediah and solo artist behind Bob Evans. Kevin discusses fatherhood, growing through having your "whole identity" being a muso and returning to study as an adult. Plus we get into regret, hoping songs find a 2nd life for new audiences, and Jebediah's relationship as a band now versus when they first were cutting their teeth and toughening up their finger callouses in Perth in the 90s. And if all that Aussie music nostalgia is hitting just right, make sure to grab tickets to Kevin's 20 year anniversary of Suburban Songbook tour!
