"Never lie".
Sydney-based comedian, Ben Kochan goes deep into his love of comedy — including why he's drawn to the silly side and is happy wearing shorts on stage. Ben describes how his friends tried to talk him out of comedy, how he reconciles the financial side of joke-making, and why he's desperate to nail the perfect one-liner about revolving restaurants.

"I'm just trying to enjoy myself"
Over her almost 30 year career, Maria Bamford has made a name for herself as a singular voice in comedy. Whether you know her from her Netflix show Lady Dynamite, her guest roles on shows like BoJack Horseman and Arrested Development, or her many incredible stand-up specials - she's not a person you forget once you've seen her. Maria is heading back to Australia, and so what better time for Wil sit down and chat to one of his favourite comedians. They discuss why she still does open mics, being honest about money, realising she's not the right person for benefit gigs, and quiet carriage wisdom.

WILOSOPHY: Maria Bamford - I'm Just Trying To Enjoy Myself

Wil starts off the episode by almost hitting Charlie in the face, but they manage to set aside their differences to plan the ultimate conspiracy documentary. Plus, who's the new addition to the Clausen family? Were Wil and Charlie given too much freedom as kids? Which celeb podcaster would be best to interview as two men in a trenchcoat? And why does Australia love Nana Mouskouri so much??

TOFOP: Nana

The beloved TOFOP With Friends mini-series The Unexplained: Explained is back, and stranger than ever! Charlie and his partner in the paranormal Ben McLeay are reconvening the North East Australian Paranormal Society (NEAPS), and they're kicking things off with demonic possession... What's in it for the devil? Can a dog caress you? And what has Jet Li got to do with it? You don't have to believe, but you do need to listen.

The Unexplained: Explained - Demonic Possession

Things get off to a flyer when Wil forgets what day it is and the whole show gets derailed as they try to remember the lyrics to More Than A Game, which is apparently easy to write but hard to sing. The Crows' major sponsor could have marketing gold on their hands by releasing cars named after players. How far would Nick Daicos' tongue celebration have to go before he gets a please explain? And Wil judges the ladder based on nothing but vibes.

"The future is not guaranteed"
You could say Jess Perkins is an expert chatter, from stand-up comedy, to being one third of the podcast Do Go On, and presenting on Triple J, she's almost certainly put in her 10,000 hours! Wil chats with Jess about being drawn to comedy from a young age, why quitting can be an important choice, the secrets to the success of Do Go On, and how an experience with her partner 5 months into dating changed her outlook on life.
