This week on Wilosophy, it's a warm welcome back to Nath Valvo! If his stint on I'm A Celeb taught him anything, it's that Nath is a homebody, which is exactly the premise of his new stand-up show. Nath doesn't like going anywhere, but he's trying to say yes to more things. In this great chat with Wil, Nath discusses anxiety, imposter syndrome and the trouble with eating a meal before performing. Nath also speaks about prepping for his new tour, script writing, and the new podcast scam duping comedians.  See Nath on tour - https://comedy.com.au/tour/nath-valvo/ The Buck Up podcast - https://pod.link/1742481169 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 attempting to revive The Footy With Broden Kelly one member at time by having Marnie Vinall join him on the show. Marnie talks about how she became a Bombers supporter during at time when the club was at their lowest, and how that has shaped her view of the club and the mess they find themselves in today. Has the AFL lost touch with the fans? Do we need things like Kiss Cam and karaoke when the footy should be enough? We also talk about coach double speak and who would be more compelling premier, Fremantle or Gold Coast.  Follow Marnie on Insta: @marnie.vinall 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.

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.

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.

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.
