The team unpacks the internet-breaking Beckham saga, asks “what are the odds?” with stories that genuinely defy logic, gives away big Australian Open prizes, and debates everything from silent trousers to shark-free swimming options. A big, funny, very Australian morning

Christian O'Connell's show is back, and he's sharing a heartwarming story about his 21-year-old daughter Ruby's journey with chronic back pain. Christian opens up about the struggles Ruby faced, including multiple MRI scans and consultations that didn't provide a clear diagnosis. A specialist finally identified a rare condition in the multifidous region of the spine, which was causing the pain. Ruby underwent a groundbreaking procedure that involved a pacemaker-like device being inserted into her back to stimulate the nerves. Christian shares the emotional moment when Ruby finally smiled after the procedure, and the family's experience with the medical team.

While the show is away we're taking a look back at some of our favourite bits.. like when Christian innocently went in for a haircut and somehow ends up in the middle of a full scale salon tribunal.

What starts as friendly chat with his hairdresser turns into a deep dive on modern dating, the phrase “I’m here for the plot,” and a Netflix drama that nearly caused a domestic incident at home. Christian explains why empathising with Four Seasons’ Steve Carell character keeps getting him into trouble with women everywhere.. including the stylist, the other clients, and, eventually, his own wife.

The Christian O'Connell Show returns Monday!
