We unleash a chaotic mix of break ins, break outs and sheer stupidity. Listeners confess to climbing through windows, sneaking into their own homes and generally proving locks are their mortal enemy. Then things get even weirder with a parade of brilliantly named pets: from Professor Fluffy Pants to a cat called VB.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today the team dives into a festive round of What’s The Year, My Friend? with nothing but Christmas classics to go on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Barry Clause returns with a huge Christmas giveaway, Christian kicks things off by admitting he once locked himself out and smashed a window with his own weights, and listeners quickly one up him with their own disasters.. from a rock climber to a DIY car break in gone wrong. Pure Christmas chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today we dive into the greatest live shows we've ever witnessed, from Lady Gaga blowing the roof off Melbourne to Michael Jackson arriving at the MCG in a rocket ship. From Ben Folds turning the Sydney Opera House into a one man symphony to the time Christian nearly talked Elton John into playing at an RSL.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christmas chaos hits early as Christian unveils the true identity of “Barry Claus”… and nobody sees it coming. The team spirals into a festive tangent, swaps TV obsessions (yes, Stranger Things comes up), and fires off their weekly recommendations. We also give away a wine fridge and open the phones for listeners’ wildest apple stories... which go off the rails fast. It’s loose, funny, and very, very on brand for the season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Looking for something to occupy you this weekend? Hear the team's Double Thumbs Up!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's the Christian O'Connell show, and we've got a slight situation on our hands. Yesterday, we were chatting with Barry Clause, but it turns out we might've gotten our names mixed up. It's a bit of a Christmas cracker, and we're not sure what's real and what's not. Tune in to find out what's going on with Barry, Gary, and the North Pole.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Melbourne’s hay fever is back and trying to kill us, so Christian exposes the shocking truth about pollen counts… which somehow makes it worse. The team also plays the “Foreign Title Movie Game,” where perfectly normal films turn into unhinged international fever dreams. Plus, everyone decides what makes a good business card, despite none of them actually knowing. Christian also launches “Business Person of the Day,” because why not? Send your business card in and you might get five seconds of fame and zero useful exposure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Life can feel overwhelming, but joy still hides in the smallest corners. Small Thing, Big Joy is the weekly reminder to slow down, notice the good, and celebrate the tiny moments that make everything feel lighter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on What Are the Odds? We're reliving the infamous Apple Sticker story, where Caitlin and producer Teena search for an apple sticker under a table, only to find one in a spot that's got everyone wondering - what are the odds? You'll have to tune in to hear the ridiculous details and decide for yourself if this one's a winner or a loser or if you have something better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we dive into a fresh batch of Monday chaos, from Patsy discovering a mysterious dent in her car, to Rio realising his new house has basically become a hotel for his partner’s entire social circle. Christian reflects on downsizing and even gives away the family couch, all while the team unleashes their pettiest “Things That Make You Go Grrr” frustrations and takes on a wildly creative Curry Songs timewasterSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Christian, Rio, Patsy and Alex unpack the dumb little things that absolutely ruin a mood: people driving tanks with mirrors the size of solar panels, colleagues who arrive late holding a takeaway coffee (for themselves!), cats who wait until the exact second you step over them to suddenly remember they have legs, and the ongoing cricket collar crisis that clearly threatens the integrity of the entire sport. Alex also delivers a MasterClass on how to brew tea properly.. complete with ceremonial stirring instructions while the rest of the team slowly loses their minds. Basically, it’s everyone being irrationally furious… and now you realise you are, too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
North Melbourne AFLW Premiers, Rio's Finally Moved, Patsy's proud parent moment, TV and Movie Extras, The Misheard Lyrics and The Timewaster!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Patsy beams as she shares the big weekend her daughter Audie had performing in Xanadu at the beautiful St Kilda theatre. The team unpacks the joy of stage school productions: kids flying around on roller skates, stunning costumes, nerves, teamwork, and that unmistakable buzz when a child finds their thing. Christian jumps in with his own memories of his daughters’ theatre days.. the pride, the emotional punch, and the brutal modern rules: one photo only, no hugs, no kisses, and absolutely no “making it weird.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best breakfast show host, such a good show. They always pair him up with a dimwit, his past British co host was a love-to-hate-him idiot, but now they have him with an Australian co host that each week shines a new talent through, he is a brilliant dimwit. I'm looking forward to seeing the show develop further.
