Summary

Some festive favourites from the show as we head into 2026.

Today, we look back at the moment Christian and the team paused for a deceptively simple challenge: tell the story of your life so far in exactly six words.

What follows is funny, honest, moving, and occasionally chaotic as Christian, the team, and listeners across Melbourne attempt to distil decades of love, mistakes, family, career twists, and survival… into just six words.

Big laughs, unexpected emotion, and a reminder that everyone is carrying a whole novel behind a short sentence.

The Christian O’Connell Show returns in 2026.

Until then, thanks for listening and happy holidays.

Mid-life crisis, move down under. That's the headline, really. And then if you really had to sum me up, married with daughters, love being dad.
