Rhys Nicholson has written a book called DISH. Wil uses this as an excuse to catch up with the comedian. The novel is a part cook-book, part memoir — featuring essays, anchovies, and a story about an Illuminati of gay people trying to destroy straight white men. Rhys and Wil reflect on their craft and Rhys' style, including the importance of kindness. Check out Rhys' new book, DISH: https://www.booktopia.com.au/dish-rhys-nicholson/book/9781761046759.html  And more on Rhys Nicholson: https://rhysnicholson.com.au/  TOFOP merch, Patreon, and more: https://linktr.ee/TOFOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beck, Taylor Hawkins, and Sir Paul McCartney walk into a bar — or do they? Charlie rants about a YouTube channel called Drumeo where drummers are given songs without drums and asked to figure out a drum part after two listens. Wil tries to find a parallel between drummers and comedians but in a rare twist, Charlie smacks his theory down. Is this the beginning of a changing hierarchy in the TOFOP Universe? Probably not.

Wil is joined by cricket tragic and numbers man, Adam Spencer to reflect on Australia's recent men's team victory at the Cricket ODI World Cup. Beating India in India looked unlikely a few weeks ago but Cummins' men played out of their skin when it counted most. The pair discuss the performance of each Australian player as well as the Marnus Miracle, statue design ideas for Travis Head, and why Ishan Kishan has gone fishin'.

ONEFOUR: Against All Odds is more than just a music doco, it's an Australian story about self-expression, race, the portrayal of violence in art, and the powers that try to control those things. ONEFOUR are a drill rap group from western Sydney who were targeted by NSW Police who used 'lawful harassment' to shut down gigs. Charlie chats with the director of this new Netflix film, Gabe Gasparinatos. He shares an insight into how he went about making a story that has resonated with audiences around the world.

Charlie sees a Beatle (in concert). What if Paul branched out and wrote a diss track? If Wil can't become Keanu Reeves, maybe he can befriend him? He shares the story of a time he saw him in a hotel. (side note, is TOFOP Wil's Dog Star? Charlie's insulted but acknowledges it could be true). A large chunk of the episode is then devoted to brainstorming how Wil could go back in time and create a series of coincidences (that aren't creepy) to allow him to become friends with Keanu.

It's a Hammo-fop — film, TV, and culture with writer and comedian, Justin Hamilton. Where does Oppenheimer fit into the Christopher Nolan canon? What should Barbie teach us? Also — if there was a series made about an Australian sporting era, which code/team would you pick, if any?

The final instalment from the North East Australia Paranormal Society is a doozy. Inspired by a real-life Ghostbusters scenario, Charlie and Ben go on a uniquely Australian adventure into some strange happenings at Cockatoo Island. An American ghost hunter becomes involved to search for the answers and the result takes more than one unexpected twist. Also, Ashley from Norway calls in to discuss his personal experience in a haunted granny flat.

The murky origins of the heroes in a half shell. Also, what could TOFOP pitch to be featured at South by South-West? It turns out, nothing. The pair try to convince each other that 'nothing' is indeed 'something' and the result is an existential tailspin. Charlie wonders about opportunities lost, Wil reassures him that next year will be better. But the reality is big-dicked turtles could be as good as it gets.

NEAPS (North East Australian Paranormal Society) is in session with Ben McLeay and Charlie Clausen and the topic today: is there life outside of Earth? The pair analyse the mass UFO siting that happened in Melbourne in 1966. The incident, known as the Westall UFO, took place at a school and many vividly remember what they saw. But not every recount adds up. Is there more to the story? Always. Also, a UFO researcher with lived experience sits down to reveal all.

This episode is dedicated to our Patreon supporter, Matt. Matt has written in multiple times over the years, but for various reasons, Charlie and Wil have never responded. In this episode, we make it up to Matt and devote the entire episode to various questions/comments he's made throughout his TOFOP experience. Thanks for listening Matt and we hope this ep makes it up to you. See TOFOP live this November: https://linktr.ee/TOFOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The second meeting of NEAPS (North East Australian Paranormal Society) is called into session as Ben and Charlie turn their attention to Australia's version of Bigfoot, the Yowie. The discussion leads to a wider discussion around cryptozoology and whether the idea of a giant, hairy gorilla living in the woods is even that interesting. Charlie then tells Ben about Yowie sighting that occurred in Queensland in the late '70s, involving a future politician and school cover up. Listener Emily returns to the show to talk about the ghost she saw at her parents home.  See TOFOP live this November: https://linktr.ee/TOFOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A TOFOP rollercoaster. Wil and Charlie skip from back fat to AI, 'cucking' to the Perfect Match robot, ending on 90s punk and The Warped Tour. See TOFOP live this November: https://linktr.ee/TOFOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introducing The Unexplained Explained, a new series on TOFOP with Friends. Across each of the four episodes, Charlie Clausen is joined by writer, performer, and podcaster, Ben McLeay. Luckily, the Brisbane-based Boonta Vista podcast host also happens to be the largest private collector of paranormal literature. Together they form NEAPS: the North-East Australia Paranormal Society. In episode one, the pair tackle one of Australia's most sensational mysteries: the poltergeist of Humpty Doo. You don't have to believe, but you do need to listen.

Charlie wants to discuss the new Arnold Schwarzenegger doco but the hosts get distracted by the potato scallops vs potato cakes debate. This leads to a deeper reflection about how someone's perspective can change. Turns out people can change. Eventually, Charlie gets his Arnie chat which leads to the ethics of steroids, and why wrestlers aren't meant to be juicing. Wil reveals that "The muscles (on Henry Cavill's) Superman are literally for show". See TOFOP live this November: https://linktr.ee/TOFOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
