Summary

In this episode of the Christian O'Connell Show, Christian and the team are getting back to the old days of radio with a special Fax Friday. They're inviting listeners to send in song requests via fax machine, just like the good old days. Christian shares some hilarious stories about Rio's recovery from illness, including a funny encounter with a cooker bar at their Airbnb. They also discuss the importance of community and the power of small joys in life, like finding twenty dollars in an old pair of shoes or seeing an elderly couple still in love.
