WILOSOPHY with Lizzy Hoo

“Keep chipping away.” Lizzy Hoo.

Lizzy Hoo is not afraid to shake up her life. As well as Mongolia, her adventurous spirit landed her in Sydney’s open mic scene where she learned her craft. The experience (which was sparked by a desire to become a better public speaker) led Lizzy to quit her corporate life and become a full-time writer and comedian. Lizzy’s life philosophy — and a discussion around ‘the power of showing up’ — inspires Wil to share the meaning behind a ta...

I Know What A Bidet Is

In 2010 on this podcast, Charlie asked Wil what a bidet is — 13 years later he assures us knows but we can't be sure. Both hosts venture to the cinema. Charlie shares his take on the new Flash, which includes cameo appearances by stars from decades past. One of these is Gal Gadot. Both Wil and Charlie can't seem to get over the cringe 'Imagine' video she made at the start of the pandemic. They then acknowledge the irony of canceling Gal for a well-intentioned (albeit ill-informed) social vi...

2 Guys 1 Urn: Delicately Poised (with Adam Zwar)

England have wrestled their way back into the series in Headingley. The loss forces Australia to ask some uncomfortable questions. Has Marsh demanded another call-up after an incredible century? Has Warner had his big final moment? And a bigger question, has Australia’s Ashes chances gone to shit now that Nathan Lyon is out?

WILOSOPHY with Liam Stapleton

Liam Stapleton's career has been fast — from fast pasta, to a fast exit during a dodgy comedy gig, to a fast rise via community radio in Adelaide. The 27-year-old describes the pressure and expectation that comes with taking over a radio show, most notably during his breakthrough spot on Triple J breakfast where he copped a lot of abuse from listeners. Liam breaks down what happened, how he called it out, and why it resulted in a nod from Kyle Sandilands, of all people.

Meggings FULL VIDEO

After a quick brainstorm regarding TOFOP-branded men’s leggings, Charlie shares a list of some of the most controversial psychological experiments. The list involves orphans, a baby named ‘Albert’, and your Facebook feed. The mailbag sparks an interesting question: among TOFOP listeners, what is the most common name? We're exploring this one name at a time, starting with 'MIKE'. If your name is Mike (or any variation of Michael) please fill out this form, subject line ‘I’m Mike’ <...

2 Guys 1 Urn: Iddy Biddy Hitty Committee (with Charlie Clausen)

With help from a blue dog and some riveting test matches, Charlie Clausen wakes up from a 25-year cricket coma. He joins Wil to discover advancements in the game including review systems, stump mics, and New Balance sponsorship deals. Once Charlie's up to speed the pair recap the second Ashes test at Lords, and boy was it a doozy. Controversy, drama, and the 'spirit of the game' come into play, in a contest that could have gone either way. What matters though, is that Australia won and Englan...

I'm Not Al Pacino (with Chris Taylor)

Charlie's joined by Chaser alumni and broadcaster, Chris Taylor. They're together to chat about Chris' new podcast Birth, Baby & Beyond but the conversation goes down a rabbit hole around faith and religion. The pair share anecdotes about their run-ins with Scientology and the nature of faith. The topic of spirituality inevitably leads to death which organically segues to birth and — the reason Chris is here today — to discuss his podcast for new parents, Birth, Baby & Beyond.

The Great Reset

Hi, it's Mike the third here. I usually write these little blurbs but I wanted to break the format today to share a personal story. When I was a kid, there was a thing called the Sydney Water Crisis. Basically, some people got sick because the water was dodgy. We were only allowed to drink water that had been boiled. I was a human child and fast access to water was important to me (still is) so naturally, I was like fuck that and drank the water anyway. I got really sick and Mum asked if it w...

2 Guys 1 Urn: Bazball Vs Cumball (with Lehmo)

UNDER THE SOUTHERN CROSS I STAND. Old mate Lehmo joins Wil to chat through one of Australia's greatest Ashes test victories. Seriously, how good was it? And hats off to Bazball, it was very entertaining. No match for Cumball though. Wil and Lehmo dig into the different approaches, the players who stood out (and those who didn't), and what it all means going into Lords.

Becoming Warnie (with Alex Williams)

Alex Williams is well-known to TOFOP listeners as our roving donut correspondent. But when he's not doing that important work, he's the star of the new Shane Warne biopic, 'Warnie'. Alex joins Charlie to describe what went into playing the charismatic athlete, including a body transformation, tapping into Warne's 'core energy', and a fair amount of fake spray tan. The conversation turns to test cricket more broadly, including Charlie's attempts to rediscover the game through the current Ashes...

WILOSOPHY with 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.

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 got through making comedy during the pand...

Russell's Brand

Charlie gives feedback on some of Wil's TV recommendations including Mrs Davis (Binge) and Jury Duty (Prime). Wil then explains why 'the thrill' has gone out of certain online interactions. Might be because he's a little wiser or just because he's not on social anymore (has he mentioned he's not on social anymore?). Charlie grapples with his own communication issue when a listener writes in to complain about the sins of his youth. All of this somehow leads to why Russell Brand doesn't flush t...

The first Ashes test is less than a week away and the idea of 25 more days of this stuff is — in the...

FOFOP #432 — Jumanji Was A Documentary (with Cam Knight)

Do kids have too many toys? With the announce of a new virtual reality product from Apple it might not matter — we could be living in an episode of Black Mirror.

2 Guys 1 Urn: Australia vs India preview (with Howie)

If 2 Guys 1 Cup is like TOFOP but AFL then 2 Guys 1 Urn is like FOFOP but cricket. None of that make sense? Don't worry. This is a series about test cricket where Wil Anderson speaks to cricket-loving comedians throughout the World Test Championship and Ashes. First up though, to give us a bit of cred, we're joined by Wil's childhood friend (no shit, they went to school together) and commentator, Mark 'Howie' Howard.
