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.  🍪 Piper's Milkshake Biscuits, Caramel 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 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.

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.

Will Clayton Oliver be the first Giant to actually live in Western Sydney? Are Gold Coast going to have to rename their legendary nightclub Tracks to Trac's? We also look at the best game of the year (so far) with the Dogs win over the Lions and Charlie urges Saints fans not to panic, but geez, maybe someone should have tagged Daicos.
