Alan Davies is one of the world's great comedians. Since he emerged in the UK's stand-up scene in the late 80s, he's forged a successful career across radio and television. He's been a permanent panellist on the BBC's long-running game show QI, and published two books about his life (with a third coming this September). But performing in front of a live audience still holds a special place in Alan's heart. He reflects on his life and career, the importance of creativity, and how he still manages to find the funny in the everyday. Alan will be bringing his new stand-up show, Think Ahead, to Australia this November and December.

Charlie's message to suffering Saints fans is plagued with technical issues, making it an apt metaphor for their season. Did Nintendo learn a thing or two from Colgate and bring in a random celeb to play the loser role in their commercial. Nat Fyfe is back and on a mission to have the most ripped abs in the league now that Bailey Smith is getting all the attention and a listener suggests a rule change that the boys love, but only Nick Daicos will be able to execute.

Courtesy of our Patreon subscribers: Wil and Charlie revisit the very first episode of TOFOP, titled 'Super Piss', recorded about 15 years ago. The hosts have bought a podcasting kit off ebay and have taped one of the microphones to an easel. Hear the hosts wrestle with (and sometimes delight in) their younger selves as they react to key moments from episode 1 of TOFOP. Some things have changed, but surprisingly, many things have stayed the same.

This episode was made possible by the good people who support us on Patreon. Consider subscribing there for more bonus content and to help us keep the lights on: https://www.patreon.com/c/everyonerelax

Not only is this the podcast for footy adjacent entertainment, but we're also your number one Matlock podcast (just don't call it a reboot). Charlie thinks there were no good stories to come out of this round, but at least we can judge the MND sliders. What does Bailey Smith have in his fridge to offer the big wigs at Geelong and Andrew Dillon? Plus, we hear from you about what contests you want to see the coaches take part in and we speculate on who the winner might be.
