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 o...

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. Listen to The Dollop: https://podfollow.com/6430553...

Charlie and Wil sat in silence, locked in a staring contest mid-podcast, their middle-aged eyes already watering. The challenge had started as a joke, but now it felt like the most serious thing they’d ever done. Wil's face twitched, his eyes ready to give in, just as Charlie triumphantly shouted, "You blinked!" Wil sighed, “Fine, but I’m still getting the expensive sushi,” and they both broke into laughter, knowing this would be their most ridiculous episode yet. Get tickets to TOFOP Live: http...

You can tell Wil and Adam have spent a lot of time together — the banter is fast and funny and every time it almost gets serious the other pulls it back, most often with some sort of dick joke. But there's so much to gain from this listen — Adam shares his comedy origin story, how he pioneered a radio gig as a gay man at a time when the world was less educated, and how he wrestled with personal demons along the way. By the end, the dick jokes die down and the genuinely heartwarming can't help bu...
