A fascinating chat with one of Australia’s most interesting entertainers. From his work in comedy duo Empty Pockets, to Toyota ads, and quiz shows - Matthew Parkinson has had one varied career. And he has all the philosophical insight you’d expect - from faith, perseverance, education, resilience, and death. We strongly recommend this one.

Sammy J has announced he's calling time on his ABC Melbourne radio brekkie gig. He reflects on what the role has meant to him over the past few years, including the hardest part about doing it (and the unexpected thing he'll miss most). Also - how he came to comedy as the class clown, the origins of his '50 year show', his collab with a puppet named Randy Feltface, and what he'll be doing next now he has the opportunity to sleep in past 4am.

Beyond 2000 Patreon campaign is live — support the Everyone Relax patreon this month and help us keep the lights on, plus get a stack of bonus content. Wil and Charlie decide to 'get real'. Charlie opens up that it's been a tough year and he's in the trenches. Wil is overcommitted. But if there's one thing we know, it's that you can't punch your way through life. [Next week crack that pack play along: gluten-free BBQ shapes].

The delightfully funny Millie Holten shares an hour with Wil talking improv comedy, 30 Rock, and Millie's new hilarious Tik Tok series, Long Head. Along the way, Wil digs deep with questions such as: what is Tik Tok? Where is London? And, what is the origin of Long Horn?

Purplepingers AKA Jordan van den Lamb is the guy you may know because he stood up to dodgy landlords. Turns out his social awareness stretches beyond tenant rights, to the point where he’s now making a bid for the senate in the next election #pingers4parliament. In this politically charged Wilosophy, the South African-born socialist shares his take on everything from Palestine, nationalising airlines, workers’ rights and... his private school upbringing.

James Fosdike (AKA Foz) has been an integral part of the TOFOP and Wilosophy universe. Every week, for years he drew original art for this podcast and along the way shaped the visual identity of the show. For now though (due to budget constraints) the guys are pulling back on this collaboration. But before the ink dries we wanted to get him on to chat about his hate for AI, fake animals, drawing hair, but most of all — we just wanted to say thanks.

Speaking of budget, this is the first episode of our Patreon campaign 'Beyond 2000' for the month of November. Join now for bonus content and a chance to win some original Foz art - https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax

Melbourne's own, Matt Stewart (Do Go On) nerds out with Wil on Aus comedy history while also sharing his own path into the scene that involved a run on SYN TV, selling air conditioners, and living in a warehouse. It's culminated in the creation of Stupid Old Studios - a multi-purpose comedy hub, multiple hit podcasts, and a bunch of laughs. All that's missing is a flag for the Saints.

In this special DOFOP USA election special, Dave Anthony depresses us with the state of politics in the land of brave and home of the free market economy. It's a contest between one side that's stood there and done nothing while you've had a broken arm and the other who will gladly chop it off. Which way will it go? What will it mean for Australia? Will Elon Musk be more or less annoying if Trump wins? These are mad times, tune in and drop out.
