A new Trump Tower has been announced to be built on the Gold Coast, so we think it's only fair that we build something BIG and Australian over in America.

Christian O'Connell and the team dive into the latest news, discussing Trump's plans to build a mega tower in Australia. They poke fun at the idea, imagining what kind of people would want to see a golden Trump tower on the Gold Coast. The team wonders if Trump will use Australian or American labor for the project, and if it'll be a giant wall instead. They also discuss the current tallest building in Australia, the Q1, and how a new Trump tower might compare.

The red mic light is stuck on… permanently. So today’s show is being held together with duct tape.

It’s Monday Winners & Losers, Things That Make You Go Grrr & we played Baby Boomer movies in Timewasters. Plus, Christian’s glasses actually broke mid show after Patsy had just been celebrating her new ones. 

All that, and somehow we stayed on air. Duct tape really does fix everything.

Here's an update from the Christian O'Connell Show. Christian's Cabana, a beach cabana, has been on a wild adventure across Australia, courtesy of the show's listeners. From Melbourne to the Gold Coast, Sydney, and Adelaide, the cabana has been passed from listener to listener, with each one helping it move forward. Now, it's on its way to Perth, where it's been passed to a random listener, John, who's driving it across the country. Christian's excited to see what the people of Perth have in store for the cabana's final destination.

This week on the Christian O'Connell show, Christian and the team are on a mission to move a beach cabana from Coolangatta to Perth. They've had it on a wild adventure, traveling from the Gold Coast to Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, but now it's stuck in Adelaide. Christian's team is calling on listeners to help move the cabana, and they've had some hilarious responses, including a truckie offering to move it for $20,000. Meanwhile, Christian's sharing his thoughts on the weekend's events, from the Real Housewives of New York to his own date night plans with his wife.
