FULL: Always Look On The Bright Side Of The Dial

MINI: Battle Seats

Christian and the team launch Battle Seats, the game that turns Rod Laver Arena into a giant guessing board. With finals tickets, cash, and massive prizes hidden under thousands of seats, listeners from all over Australia jump in for their shot at the AO. There are big wins, nervous guesses, instant heartbreak, and life changing moments as callers score $1,000 vouchers and tickets to the men’s final. If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the Australian Open live, this is where the chaos begins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Best Bits: The Sisters Have Turned

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.
