Everyone Relax

How does Ryan Atwood from The O.C. end up going toe-to-toe with global fraudsters, shorting multi-billion-dollar markets, and landing an unnerving face-to-face interrogation with FTX Founder and now-convicted-criminal Sam Bankman-Fried?
In this wild, hilarious, and eye-opening chat, actor turned investigative author and documentarian Ben McKenzie joins Wil to reveal how a pandemic lockdown, an economics background, and a well-timed pot edible turned him into crypto’s most unexpected whistleblower.
Ben breaks down the cult-like psychology of financial scams, pulls back the curtain on his documentary Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, and explains why the biggest Ponzi scheme in history was best exposed through relentless comedy and leaning unapologetically into his TV past.
Ahead of a traditional VOD release, Ben’s documentary “Everyone is Lying to You for Money” became available to stream from Saturday, August 22 through a collaboration with Eventive, a ticketing and streaming platform with a mission to make film festivals and independent film accessible. Ticketholders are now able to watch the film at any time between now and September 6, 2026.

Wil and Charlie dissect the latest spooky advancement in Chinese robotics: a headless, thumbless robot that can run faster than Usain bolt. Charlie ponders the terrifying inevitability of customised AI skins and whether Wil could spot a full-body synthetic clone sitting across from him in the podcast studio.
Plus, Charlie opens up about two public confrontations that tested his personal limits AND filled him with great shame - but not enough shame that he didn't want to air them out in a public forum. We're talking your run of the mill awkward sidewalk collision and then screaming expletives at the tiniest dog at a park. Why can't we all just get along?

Wildcard Weekend delivered, but for Wil's girlfriend it led to confusion and concern over his mental state. One game had it all - Bont v Daicos, Artie Jones beefing up his contract, and - apparently - quite a lot of jumping. Blues v Dees was also good, but how long can we feel good about Carlton before this turns into something scary? Plus, the Pocket Profile makes a long awaited comeback and proves Wil hasn't lost a step!

Comedian, podcaster, author and three-time-election-runner Alex Dyson has lived a big full life since his last appearance on the show.
In this episode, Wil and Alex tackle what happens when you decide to run for parliament as an independent, and what it feels like when local political rivals (and comedy peers) miss the memo entirely. They dive deep into the double-edged sword of comedy and political discourse, examining why online algorithms thrive on outrage, why modern outrage culture makes everyone feel shitty, and how to navigate maintaining a positive campaign when the political landscape rewards mudslinging.
Plus, Alex opens up about writing his novel The Apocalypse and Other Mild Inconveniences, the imposter syndrome that comes with a high-profile creative life, and the heavy reality check of sharing a room with a Syrian refugee after complaining about creative burnt-out.
They also cover:
The regional-city divide: Why farmers actually care about climate change, the brutal reality of regional childcare deserts, and what Southwest Victoria really needs.

Life on the road: Planning a 10-year anniversary 5-day rave tour across Australia with Matt Okine, memories of early-2000s triple j, and the art of predicting the future for the Black Eyed Peas.

The Matt and Alex Podcast: Rebranding the show and working with your best mate
The search for common ground: Why identifying 90% of what we have in common is the only way forward and asking "when is enough enough?" in your career.

A thoughtful, nostalgic, and hilarious conversation about ambition, community, staying true to your values, and learning how to say yes to life, even when you feel totally unprepared.
