FULL: Do Re Mi
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.

MINI: Is It Barry Or Garry Clause?
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.

FULL: Are You A Westie?
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.

MINI: What Are The Odds
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.

FULL: Amazing Dents
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.

MINI: Things That Make You Go Grr
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.
