FULL: Do Re Mi
Christmas chaos hits early as Christian unveils the true identity of “Barry Claus”… and nobody sees it coming.

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.
