"Everything you care about requires time and attention — neither of those things can be half done" - James Colley
Wil is joined by longtime collaborator and writer behind some of Australia's favourite TV shows including, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Gruen, and Question Everything. James Colley explains how he walked the narrow path between psychics and Australian Literature to find himself in comedy. As well as his passion for the Penrith Panthers, you'll hear about his transition from standup to TV comedy, why his approach to work involves rest, and how he made a new show - without audience feedback - during the pandemic.
Keep an eye out for James' novel, 'The Next Big Thing' out summer 23/24.

"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??

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.
