This week on What Are the Odds? We're reliving the infamous Apple Sticker story, where Caitlin and producer Teena search for an apple sticker under a table, only to find one in a spot that's got everyone wondering - what are the odds? You'll have to tune in to hear the ridiculous details and decide for yourself if this one's a winner or a loser or if you have something better.

Today we dive into a fresh batch of Monday chaos, from Patsy discovering a mysterious dent in her car, to Rio realising his new house has basically become a hotel for his partner’s entire social circle. Christian reflects on downsizing and even gives away the family couch, all while the team unleashes their pettiest “Things That Make You Go Grrr” frustrations and takes on a wildly creative Curry Songs timewaster
Christian, Rio, Patsy and Alex unpack the dumb little things that absolutely ruin a mood: people driving tanks with mirrors the size of solar panels, colleagues who arrive late holding a takeaway coffee (for themselves!), cats who wait until the exact second you step over them to suddenly remember they have legs, and the ongoing cricket collar crisis that clearl...

Another day, another Regretcation disaster story.
All week we’re celebrating the trips that went so wrong they became iconic.
Each morning, one “holiday from hell” wins $500, and on Friday one of those heroic disasters scores a $10,000 dream getaway, thanks to RACV Travel & Experiences.
The show is away today, so we’re taking a look back at one of our favourite chaotic moments.. a segment fuelled by Ashes tension and the kind of energy that makes everyone a little too brave with their opinions.
Christian opened the floor and lit the fuse, declaring that anyone over the age of ten saying “two more sleeps” needs to grow up immedi...
This week on the show, we’re launching Christian O'Connell's Regretcation the competition that celebrates the holidays that went completely off the rails.

Every day, the best “holiday from ...
The show’s off today, but we couldn’t leave without revisiting yesterday’s incredible story.
On Monday, Christian shared a real life hero moment: an Uber driver who went from a routine trip to a full-scale emergency rescue. After spotting that his Greyhound bus driver was having a heart attack, he stepped up, took control, and even drove the enti...
Christian wakes from his “Ashes coma” only to discover England’s record breaking collapse, and we relive every dramatic ball, headline, meltdown and burn. Rio tries to settle on a house that apparently doesn’t exist in any database, sparking a full show investigation into NMI numbers, electricity meters and the mysteries of adulting.
And &...
England were cruising… until they weren’t. In one of the most outrageous opening Tests in Ashes history, the team manages to go from “unbeatable position” to “full scale capitulation” in just 99 balls. Christian emerges from a metaphorical coma, absolutely convinced England must have won, and the we break the truth to him gently.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
