Tim Rogers has lived the rockstar life. He's also not a stranger on the cricket pitch in the country Victorian town he calls home.

He joins Wil on the eve of You Am I's STRUNG UP tour for a reflective look at his career, how he turns up in his role as a partner and father, and how his creative process has evolved over the decades.

We get into regrets and the intertwining of alcohol, drugs, and rock and roll, finding joy in fiction and revisiting funny lyrics on long walks in the bush. Tim reflects on a time when was angry at Wil for a joke made about him on an episode of Gruen - and the insight he now has into that moment.

Settle in for a thoughtful, warm and highly reflective chat about staying curious, owning your flaws, and finding heaven on earth in a simple cup of tea or a beer with family.

Wil wants to talk about space movies, Charlie argues there's no such thing, and Cambo helps take us through the Fast and Furious franchise in all its chronologically confusing glory.

Plus, we tackle two listener-submitted hypotheticals. One existential proposition about dying or getting a chance to live a portion of life over again but you can't change anything, and 2, one that might finally get us a sponsorship from Haighs... or blacklisted for life.

Wil sits down with actor, comedian, and improviser Amy Ruffle for a hilarious and moving conversation about resilience, creative growth, and finding your voice.

Amy opens up about her life-altering diagnosis of two benign brain tumours blocking her brain's drainage system, which forced her to sleep upright, sauna daily, and ultimately served as the catalyst to stop making excuses and pursue solo stand-up comedy.

Then we get into exploring the transition from team-based improv to the vulnerability of solo storytelling, the mechanics behind Amy's vodcast Sauna Sessions (and the bizarre public sauna behaviour she's witnessed, like steam-room burritos), and why authentic human connection on stage matters more than ever.

In 2027 make sure to see Amy at MICF and at Adelaide Fringe.
