Speaker 1: This is the Chrissy Stun Show. Oh hey, welcome to Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Feel good for Tuesday. A beautiful lunch I did, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I felt I felt sort of culinary Shane
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. It was like a major city train
Speaker 1: station in there. When I was making lunch for you
Speaker 1: and me and Tom. People everywhere cooking their lunch. And
Speaker 1: then I was like, oh my god, I'm about to
Speaker 1: do something. Please nobody ask me what I am doing.
Speaker 1: And someone go, what are you doing there? And I said,
Speaker 1: I'm pickling my own carrots?
Speaker 3: What does that even mean?
Speaker 1: So you make a little solution of vinegar and sugar
Speaker 1: and water and then you put your graded carrot in there,
Speaker 1: and then it doesn't take very long, but it adds
Speaker 1: a sweetness and pickles bit me to the carrot, and
Speaker 1: it was essential in the chicken mix.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just felt so upwise. I'm like, who
Speaker 1: pickles their own carrots?
Speaker 3: Say that you were making it for me, and then
Speaker 3: they'll get it.
Speaker 1: Of course they would. The most bougie alive.
Speaker 2: After three o'clock, We've got another Frank Green holiday pack
Speaker 2: to give away in Chrissy's Quizy. It's stuffed inside that
Speaker 2: bum bag swanee has officially gone nuts for Christmas. On
Speaker 2: December three, we're going to get a neuroscientist on to
Speaker 2: explain why that's happening.
Speaker 1: Why are we all losing our minds? Why?
Speaker 2: But next who am I? There is five hundred dollars
Speaker 2: cash up for grabs the.
Speaker 1: Chrissy Swan Show. Let's do this, Chrissy Swans, Who am I?

Speaker 1: a Geraldine or a gerald And there we are. It's neither.
Speaker 1: It's just Jerry. Hey, that's cool. That's really cool. I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, oh, you don't love it. Oh that's
Speaker 1: a shame, because you're stuck with it forever. That's right, Jerry.
Speaker 1: You love the game of Who Am I? Because it
Speaker 1: reminds you of a bygone era fantail.
Speaker 5: Oh what a delicious treat and fun little game.
Speaker 1: Yes, do you remember that? Jack? Are you young old
Speaker 1: enough to remember? I want to do this the whole
Speaker 1: thing with the fantail game if you wonder what we're
Speaker 1: talking about. Fantails are a very old school lollie that
Speaker 1: I think have gone out of business. I remember it
Speaker 1: just continued.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've still got a packet in my pantry because
Speaker 3: my housemate loves them.
Speaker 1: Oh, they'll all be white and weird. But you used
Speaker 1: to rip off the wrapper and then play the game,
Speaker 1: play the game. But you have to do it. You
Speaker 1: called your chewing caramel. I'm not going to do that, Jerry,
Speaker 1: beause Jack hates it.
Speaker 3: Here it is.
Speaker 1: I've got five clues for you and five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: in cash to give a every incorrect answer, one hundred
Speaker 1: bucks snatched out of your hot little hands. Jeer, you
Speaker 1: got five seconds to guess the answer after I give
Speaker 1: you the clue. Let's go. I outraged several of my fans,
Speaker 1: Jack included over the weekend when I debuted my new
Speaker 1: Beard terrible.
Speaker 5: Oh what's a my on new Beard?
Speaker 6: Old?

Speaker 4: Jacob a lordie, it is Jacob.
Speaker 1: Now have you seen him with a beard?
Speaker 4: I have seen it and I don't I don't mind.
Speaker 4: It does make him look more grown up, but it's

Speaker 1: The Christy Swan Show. And it's happened, Jack, I have
Speaker 1: officially lost my mind my Christmas marbles.
Speaker 3: Look.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it's taken this long, Swanny because it's December three.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I never used to be this way.
Speaker 1: And I blame Jane Hall, a colleague that I used
Speaker 1: to work with, and she's so I said, Christmas is
Speaker 1: my time to shine and It's like I took that
Speaker 1: as a suggestion and I've run with it, and now
Speaker 1: I am way more Missus Clause than she could ever
Speaker 1: hope to be.
Speaker 2: I'm stuck on the fact Jane Hall loves Christmas. She's
Speaker 2: so miserable about the rest of life.
Speaker 1: I know she loves Christmas. She saves all her joy
Speaker 1: up for Christmas, and I I get a massive energy
Speaker 1: lift the first time, you know, when you're wandering around
Speaker 1: Mayra or Westfield, whatever, and you see the ribbons and
Speaker 1: the bells and the music and it's bing crossy, oh
Speaker 1: my god, and I feel like I'm alive.
Speaker 2: Well, this is quite interesting because your bonkers and crazy
Speaker 2: twelve months of the year, so for it to even
Speaker 2: get heightened to another level around Christmas is almost frightening.
Speaker 1: And you know, I hide my light under a bushel
Speaker 1: from you because you really think I'm insane. But my
Speaker 1: house at the moment. So I had the tree delivered,
Speaker 1: a real one because my daughter wants it. I blame her,
Speaker 1: but I also love a real tree. And I left
Speaker 1: it in its little netting right until December first because
Speaker 1: I'm sitious about it. So we decorated it all weekend,
Speaker 1: but Also at my place, I'll plug in like American
Speaker 1: cascading furs off the mantlepiece. There is a huge oversized
Speaker 1: wreath on the door that I put up every year
Speaker 1: that I bought at the Donovan's Garage. My favorite restaurant,
Speaker 1: a Peg has a mini Christmas tree in her room.
Speaker 3: Oh well you have separate Christmas trees. Yes, wine is enough.
Speaker 1: Man, and I've got I've picked the wrapping paper theme
Speaker 1: for this year. I've gone like old school decapage, you know,
Speaker 1: like nineteen thirties pictures of Santa.
Speaker 3: And oh sick that would look she.
Speaker 1: Honestly, And I know I'm not alone because when you
Speaker 1: drive around the suburbs you can see other people. I
Speaker 1: saw today on someone's balcony four life sized snow men,
Speaker 1: and I thought, I know you.
Speaker 3: You identify with that.
Speaker 1: I know you. I know you. You've hauled them out.
Speaker 1: They've annoyed you all year or your partner all year
Speaker 1: in the garage, and then you haul them out because
Speaker 1: it's your time to shine and you lose your mind
Speaker 1: at Christmas.
Speaker 2: I am no grinch. I like Christmas, but I don't
Speaker 2: go as crazy as you. And I feel like you
Speaker 2: and your type of Christmas lovers are a search and
Speaker 2: breed of human beings.
Speaker 1: I agree, and I'm thrilled to welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: In an effort to explain this madness a proper bona
Speaker 1: fide neuroscientist, doctor Sarah McKay, welcome to the show. Is
Speaker 1: this normal? And why does it happen to some of
Speaker 1: us and not everybody?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 7: I think perhaps you just love to lean into those
Speaker 7: Christmas feelings more than most. But I'm a bit like you,
Speaker 7: I love it as well.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's also got to do with sort
Speaker 1: of nostalgia and sentimentality and family and people that aren't
Speaker 1: here anymore.
Speaker 7: Yeah, hundred percent. So there's some neuroscience behind that too,
Speaker 7: behind that particular feeling of nostalgia that we have. So
Speaker 7: if we kind of we can take a look at
Speaker 7: how our brain constructs a Christmas emotion like nostalgia. So
Speaker 7: it blends these feelings that we have in our body,
Speaker 7: so that might be like those kind of physical feelings
Speaker 7: of anticipation and excitement, It takes them and mixes them
Speaker 7: up with our memories of Christmas past. So often our childhood,
Speaker 7: often those traditions and those rituals that we try and
Speaker 7: recreate every year, and then it mixes them up with
Speaker 7: what we see. It's a very sensory experience Christmas, so
Speaker 7: the sits, the sounds, the smell.
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with the term chasing the dragon? Usually
Speaker 1: drug addicts refer to that. But I feel like I've
Speaker 1: just been chasing the dragon since nineteen seventy eight, when
Speaker 1: I got my own recorder, like a tape deck and
Speaker 1: a fuzzy pumper barbershop set, and I just and everyone
Speaker 1: was happy, and there was an orange and onion salad
Speaker 1: and it was just a magical day. And I feel
Speaker 1: like I've been chasing the dragon ever since then.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think that's what it does. It's like
Speaker 7: this annual opportunity to recreate those emotions from our childhood
Speaker 7: or from you know, happy Christmas past. We kind of
Speaker 7: get this annual opportunity to kind of recreate that again
Speaker 7: and again every year.
Speaker 2: Doctor Sarah, I'm in between sort of gen Z and millennial.
Speaker 2: In these studies you've done. Is there a certain generation
Speaker 2: that sort of leans you into Christmas more?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Well, perhaps not who leans into Christmas more? But if
Speaker 7: we look at who has the most positive and sort
Speaker 7: of excited emotions around Christmas. It's the younger generation. So
Speaker 7: it's about sixty four percent of Gen Z, sixty two
Speaker 7: percent of millennials, fifty four percent of Gen X, and
Speaker 7: about half of boomers.
Speaker 1: And we're not.
Speaker 7: Entirely sure what that is, but I to speak, part
Speaker 7: of it is about there's a lot of work that
Speaker 7: goes into creating those Christmas sort of experiences for other people,
Speaker 7: and the young ones perhaps they're just still like kind
Speaker 7: of wallowing around in the experiences. Then I am mean
Speaker 7: to create them for other people's.
Speaker 1: So we love magical.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much doctor Sarah for joining us now
Speaker 2: thirteen twenty four to ten. We want to ask, do
Speaker 2: you go crazier than Chrissy at Christmas? If you get
Speaker 2: on air with us, We're going to give you a
Speaker 2: Westfield gift card because we know Westfield is absolutely magic
Speaker 2: at Christmas time. From festive music, magic and movies to
Speaker 2: Santa visits and picks. That's what feels like Christmas. Discover
Speaker 2: more reasons to love this season at Westfield. Visit your
Speaker 2: local center today.
Speaker 1: I have a confession sometimes even when I've done all
Speaker 1: my Christmas shopping, I will go to Westfield just to
Speaker 1: walk around and enjoy the ambience and see other people
Speaker 1: enjoying themselves.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that I am insane.
Speaker 1: The Christy Swan Show, The Christy Swan Show, we're talking about.
Speaker 1: The silly season is upon us. And if you're a
Speaker 1: Christmas person, you know very very keenly that it's the
Speaker 1: third of December because you've been waiting for December first,
Speaker 1: which is the agreed time that you can go christmasing.
Speaker 1: I've just remembered something listening to see her another reason,
Speaker 1: but you go crazy. So when I was in the
Speaker 1: rap post shop a couple of weeks ago, preparing to
Speaker 1: lose my mind, I saw ali a soul of powered
Speaker 1: led thing that you put in the grass and it
Speaker 1: projects a rolling Santa and Reindeer scene on your house.
Speaker 3: Oh, I kind of want to see that.
Speaker 1: Jack eaties so gorgeous. When I turned it on, I
Speaker 1: went like a kid. And my kids haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: I haven't set it up.
Speaker 3: Can you film them seeing it for me?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It's feel so beautiful. Leo won't care, will he?
Speaker 2: I think he will?
Speaker 3: He will?
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do think it is also genetic. If you
Speaker 1: lose you might at Christmas yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3: Burteen twenty four to ten.
Speaker 2: I'm asking, do you go as crazy as Chrissy at Christmas?
Speaker 2: Just for getting on air with us today, I'm going
Speaker 2: to give you a one hundred dollars Westfield gift cold.
Speaker 1: That's going to be very handy.
Speaker 4: Wine up, Brook, Oh, that would be very handy.
Speaker 1: H tell us the ways that you lose your Christmas mind.
Speaker 4: Look, I think I lose my Christmas mind more than you, Chrissy.
Speaker 4: I decorate my whole entire house very much the same
Speaker 4: as what you have. I do the front lawn, but
Speaker 4: not only that, I've also decorated my entire office and
Speaker 4: everyone's pods in my office and the fat customer service
Speaker 4: area two.
Speaker 1: Oh, Brook, I just think that is wonderful. What a
Speaker 1: joy you must be to be around.
Speaker 4: I've actually had people come down from other levels in
Speaker 4: the building because they've been told they have to come
Speaker 4: down and check out my death.
Speaker 1: That is joy. Now I've got to ask you where
Speaker 1: did this start for you?
Speaker 4: I think he's a writer. It's genetics.
Speaker 6: It was my nan, Yes, my mum, it's me.
Speaker 4: It's now my kids. Yes, yeah, we're all Christmas bonkers.
Speaker 1: I hear you. You've got one hundred buck suspended Westfield.

Speaker 2: you do with your old themed stuff, like with last
Speaker 2: year's theme?
Speaker 3: What would we still have it? And do you give

Speaker 1: the themes? And what has been your favorite over the years?

Speaker 8: My Grinch? My Grinch is my best by.
Speaker 3: Sky one hundred dollars Westfield gift card for you.
Speaker 2: I love that because having a mum that fully gets
Speaker 2: into it when you're a kid and she's got four kids.
Speaker 3: It makes such a difference.
Speaker 1: That's really good for me to hear because I think
Speaker 1: I'm insane.
Speaker 3: Nah, it does.
Speaker 2: I still remember mum having us acts and then you
Speaker 2: know it does it stays with you?
Speaker 1: Great? You will your sex like personalized?

Speaker 2: All right, let's finish with Rachel. Rachel, do you go
Speaker 2: crazier than chrisy at Christmas?
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, I think I go crazier than Chrissy.
Speaker 2: What my husband is the greench and tread and divorce
Speaker 2: because I make him bring up.
Speaker 9: The decorations, the tree, the lights.
Speaker 4: Everything on the first of November and that's when we start.
Speaker 1: No, okay, was this was this like, you know, a
Speaker 1: slide into insanity bit by bit? Like did you originally
Speaker 1: start to semper first and then it sort of went
Speaker 1: the last week of November and then you went stuff?
Speaker 1: And I'm going all the way to November first.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's gotten earlier each year, but every alternate year
Speaker 10: we go away.
Speaker 4: So I need to make it worth my while and
Speaker 4: get the enjoyment stress Rachel.
Speaker 3: Long as I can.
Speaker 1: I'm going to set a diary reminder to call you
Speaker 1: in I'm going to say June and get you to
Speaker 1: take your tree down the Chrissy one. So I've been
Speaker 1: clicking Jack.
Speaker 3: Chrissy's click.
Speaker 1: Daniel Craig is cranky. He is a cranky man.
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 2: Though Daniel Craig's kind of cranky doesn't dilute the kindness
Speaker 2: in his personality.
Speaker 3: Like when he's cranky, I just find it funny.
Speaker 2: I agree, there's still something warm about him being cranky.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where when you read the
Speaker 1: headlines it sounds one way, and then when you see
Speaker 1: the footage it's really friendly in Fine, yeah, exactly. But
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to talk about Jay's Bond anymore. He's
Speaker 1: really not interested.
Speaker 3: He wants to talk about queer.
Speaker 1: But what happens is when you're kind of synonymous with
Speaker 1: a huge character, that's what we want to talk about.
Speaker 1: And I think he just needs to accept that. He
Speaker 1: says that the Joe's Bond movie was a nightmare, which
Speaker 1: one the latest one that he's not involved in.
Speaker 3: No, I think he's saying Quantum of Solace, Oh, Quantum.
Speaker 1: Of Solace was God. He hasn't got a nice thing
Speaker 1: to say about anything. We were talking about him last
Speaker 1: week because he was it yesterday? Yeah, yeah, are you
Speaker 1: joking yesterday? No, it was not.
Speaker 3: We were talking about Casino Royal. Was yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tom, it was yesterday that we were talking about
Speaker 2: Cassina Royal.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, does that give you an idea of
Speaker 1: what my life is like? I thought that was last week. No,
Speaker 1: it was yesterday, and we were talking about the Bond songs.
Speaker 1: We were going to find out what the one was
Speaker 1: that we were talking about. It was Chris Cornell, of course,
Speaker 1: from Soundgarden. I don't love him, no, no, no, no, wait,
Speaker 1: you keep going. Imagine you know, drone shot explosions. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're a Soundgarden fan, I think you'd like it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Quantum of Solace was a nightmare and he
Speaker 1: hopefully he never needs to talk about James Bond ever again.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel sad for him because he
Speaker 1: made the conscious decision to step away from the franchise
Speaker 1: and he's mixing things up with this new film and
Speaker 1: people still just want to talk about Jane.
Speaker 2: But I think as well, in these interviews he's giving
Speaker 2: like they're like twenty minutes sit down interviews. Right, But unfortunately,
Speaker 2: no matter what he says about this new film, no
Speaker 2: one is going to click on that.
Speaker 3: All anyone who's going to click on is the James
Speaker 3: Bond stuff.
Speaker 2: So maybe it's the publicity team for the new film
Speaker 2: that need to just set a rule. I hate rules
Speaker 2: in interviews, but maybe they do just need to say
Speaker 2: no James Bond questions.
Speaker 1: But then that makes him look like a diva. And
Speaker 1: then also, because this is the problem with press junkets,
Speaker 1: they happen before anybody's really seen the film. So when
Speaker 1: you've said, when we've seen Queer, we're gonna have questions
Speaker 1: and we'll be interested that all the interviews are done,
Speaker 1: you've got to go back, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It's just it's wrong. It feels wrong anyway. The situation
Speaker 1: that happened on that film is that Paul Haggis, who
Speaker 1: wrote the script, doesn't mean anything to anyone apart from,
Speaker 1: you know, a disgusting Scottish meal. He did it pass
Speaker 1: over the script, which means he looked at it kind
Speaker 1: of once, yeah, write it, looked at it once, and
Speaker 1: then he joined a picket line because it was at
Speaker 1: that writer's Oh that the writer strike Yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 1: Daniel Craig says the entire film should have been scrapped
Speaker 1: at that point and it shouldn't have been made. I
Speaker 1: disagree because I love James Bond films and I live
Speaker 1: for the opening credit songs.
Speaker 3: Yes, what is your favorite, James Bonder?
Speaker 1: My favorite is Die Another Day by Madonna Sick. I'm
Speaker 1: falling more and more in love with that woman. You've
Speaker 1: got to watch that doc?
Speaker 2: Oh, my friend, I know, well, tomorrow's Wednesday watch list?
Speaker 3: Is that what it's called? Yes, I'll watch the Madonna
Speaker 3: dock for tonight.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about brain rock because that's what
Speaker 1: I want you to do. I want you to sit
Speaker 1: on the couch and brain rot. It's the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four Oxford Word of the Year.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: I like it too, And that is quite a controversial
Speaker 1: opinion because everybody's like, oh brain wrote you feel bad
Speaker 1: about it? Listen if you are. If your lifestyle allows
Speaker 1: you to have a few moments where you can be
Speaker 1: mindless instead of mindful, then go for it. I think
Speaker 1: it's important. My only concern is this I have noticed
Speaker 1: in myself and my kids because I'm consuming things for
Speaker 1: thirty seconds forty five seconds. My attention span has become
Speaker 1: used to that and it has atrophied.
Speaker 2: So you like would struggle with a three hour film nowadays. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: And for those people listening that don't know what it is,
Speaker 2: the definition is the supposed deterioration of a person's mental
Speaker 2: or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of over
Speaker 2: consumption of material sticularly online content.
Speaker 1: And I get that, and I just think you've got
Speaker 1: to do that, but you've got to balance it out
Speaker 1: by reading an article.
Speaker 3: I get that.
Speaker 2: But the thing I like is when is the word
Speaker 2: considered to be trivial or unchallenging, Like I think everything
Speaker 2: I watch is unchallenging.
Speaker 3: Everything I do is brain rot. Who wants to watch
Speaker 3: something challenging?
Speaker 1: Listen, if I want to spend one minute of my
Speaker 1: time watching Charlie X says have a fag on stage,
Speaker 1: I need to do it the Chrissy Swan Show.
Speaker 11: I Hi.
Speaker 1: By the way, we've just got an announcement that Drake
Speaker 1: has added new tour dates because.
Speaker 3: The pre sales is going nuts.
Speaker 1: Is going nuts? When did getting a ticket to a
Speaker 1: love music show becomes such a blood sport?
Speaker 3: It's insane, isn't it, Swam.
Speaker 1: It never used to be like this, Jack.
Speaker 3: I think it might be after COVID now that I
Speaker 3: think about it, Yes.
Speaker 1: But why I think I agree with you, that's definitely
Speaker 1: the timeline.
Speaker 2: But why is there just not enough space like across
Speaker 2: the year in our arena, Like they just can't book
Speaker 2: the shows long enough.
Speaker 1: I honestly I do not know.
Speaker 2: But good news for people in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Speaker 2: Drake has added an extra show to each of those cities.
Speaker 2: But the actual general sale doesn't start till Friday, midday Friday.
Speaker 1: So these are those like you know, First Chance, master Card.
Speaker 2: One correct and votafone Extraordinary. And I think as well,
Speaker 2: it's probably Tom Reckons. It's a lot of it's because
Speaker 2: everything's online now so you can't go and get them
Speaker 2: physically the tickets, And if that makes a.
Speaker 1: Different, I just don't understand it. You know. Thoughts and
Speaker 1: prayers to any mothers trying to get it for their
Speaker 1: teenage kids, because we are exhausted.
Speaker 2: Seriously, Hey, next in Chrissy's Quizzy, if you're exhausted and
Speaker 2: you need some help with your Christmas shopping, there is

Speaker 1: love that song. Have we had Mariah yet?
Speaker 2: I have not heard Mariah yet. I mean, if you're
Speaker 2: listening to Nova one hundred in Melbourne, Jason Lauren have
Speaker 2: been playing a lot of more, but I need.
Speaker 1: To hear it. The holiest that he did the chraszy
Speaker 1: over the surprise like pharmacy tantrums. Now tis the season.
Speaker 1: Tis the season for joy and happiness, but it is
Speaker 1: also the season for the same reasons for people to
Speaker 1: lose their minds. A video has has just been released
Speaker 1: by TMZ. It is a child throwing a tantrum in
Speaker 1: a Walmart. Sounds like a supermarket. Yeah, I was surprised
Speaker 1: when I went to America. I thought Walmart was more
Speaker 1: like Kmart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but.
Speaker 1: But there's food and everything. It's a supermarket like Costco.
Speaker 3: They are right, don't they sell guns to Walmart?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they sell so much stuff like I
Speaker 1: could move in.
Speaker 3: I'm more of a carowuon guy.
Speaker 1: Of course, you are all right, So imagine this supermarket
Speaker 1: a child. I'm going to say ten or eleven.
Speaker 3: They've said primary school. They've said five or six in
Speaker 3: this article. No older.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they're about that tall, they're older than that.
Speaker 1: All right, okay, well let's split the diff seven seven
Speaker 1: seven years old. Gorgeous little matching pink ensemble.
Speaker 3: By the way, I love the outfit.
Speaker 1: She's losing her mind. First of all, I can't see
Speaker 1: where the parent is. I'm guessing the parent is videoing it.
Speaker 1: Going this is amazing, do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe the parents looking for a viral moment.
Speaker 2: Maybe because she starts by kicking like some look looks
Speaker 2: like toddler and chocolate boxes.
Speaker 3: And then she goes to the deli section and starts
Speaker 3: throwing cheese all over.
Speaker 1: The floor methodically, calmly, but also with a fair amount
Speaker 1: of fury and strength. Yeah, she picks up vegetables and
Speaker 1: throws them on the ground. She's not screaming. People are
Speaker 1: trying to stop her, and she's not interested in being stopped.
Speaker 1: She has reached the end of her tether. That's her
Speaker 1: stomping on Lazada. That was a two handed throw.
Speaker 11: Oh gosh, yeah, okay, So now she's picking up sparkling
Speaker 11: brand like Brune juice and just throwing it.
Speaker 2: What is wrong with me that I look at that
Speaker 2: and I go, god, I love to do I mean,
Speaker 2: I've seen you sort of in those in a scenario
Speaker 2: once like.
Speaker 3: That, but you didn't throw anything. Next time you have
Speaker 3: like a spark out, can you throw something?
Speaker 1: I feel like I have thrown stuff and it feels
Speaker 1: really good. But I've done it by myself, damn it.
Speaker 3: I'd love to see you just piff something.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yes, I remember now. So looking at
Speaker 1: that footage, there's a bit where she's in front of
Speaker 1: a display. It has like crackers and she runs her
Speaker 1: hand along it and they all come out. I've done
Speaker 1: that with books, no way.
Speaker 3: Was it really satisfying?
Speaker 1: Yes, But I tell you what's like belittling afterwards is
Speaker 1: that you've got to then keep down with them.
Speaker 3: Back were you at home when you did it? It
Speaker 3: was at home.
Speaker 1: I having a child have a tantrum is an absolute
Speaker 1: rite of passage. Some of them are like nuclear level
Speaker 1: thirteen twenty four to ten. What is the most epic
Speaker 1: tantrum your child has ever had? That's reminiscent?
Speaker 2: Enjoy them and I want specific details of things they threw,
Speaker 2: where it was, where.
Speaker 1: They why, why, what's happening?
Speaker 3: Film it. There'll be a Priceline pharmacy voucher in it
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 1: The Chrissy Swan Show. We're talking about tantrums. I've seen
Speaker 1: a little bit of footage here. We've really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: We've lived vicariously through this very cranky child who systematically
Speaker 1: went through wa which is big supermarket in America, and
Speaker 1: just calm. She was very calm.
Speaker 3: She wasn't screaming, which is almost scarier, I agree, more menacing.
Speaker 1: But there was a lot of force in the throwing
Speaker 1: of the food. We're asking you thirteen twenty fourteen, when
Speaker 1: as your kid had the most unbelievable tantrum? Hello, Lauren, Hi, Hi.
Speaker 1: When your kid has a tantrum, you never forget it.
Speaker 6: No, you do not know. She's six now, and when
Speaker 6: she was two she had the most epic tantrum at
Speaker 6: the top of our driveway because I wouldn't let her
Speaker 6: ride her tricycle down what is a very steep driveway.
Speaker 6: And she was carrying on so much that I did,
Speaker 6: I think what every good parent has done, and said, fine,
Speaker 6: do it. Hi, I videoed the whole thing, so I've
Speaker 6: got it on the film. She rode down and she
Speaker 6: stacked it and I just recorded it all.
Speaker 1: And afterwards, did you say I told you this would happen?
Speaker 6: I most definitely did.
Speaker 1: Did she ever do it again?
Speaker 6: No? And every time she from then on wanted to
Speaker 6: do something, and I suggested that Mum would probably know best.
Speaker 6: I reminded her of the video of her crashing.
Speaker 1: I love the driveway. I love this, Lauren. I love it.
Speaker 3: Whack it on TikTok, Lauren. I might go viral now,
Speaker 3: it could?
Speaker 6: It could?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fristlight Farmers out to for you, Lauren. Let's get
Speaker 3: a rick, Ricky.
Speaker 1: What did you do to do? Hey?
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, having you so good?
Speaker 1: What'd you do to get?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So, our daughter, my wife was adamant that she was
Speaker 5: menting in her veges at a restaurant. Then she basically
Speaker 5: threw every single piece of them on the floor. She
Speaker 5: keeped two of the plates, two of our main plates.
Speaker 5: Then we went back home.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: The second day, she decided to grab the broccoli and
Speaker 5: all the veges from the fridge and she literally threw them.
Speaker 1: She was sure that was not going to happen again.
Speaker 2: Priceline voucher for Ubick. Oh this phone or is making
Speaker 2: me miss super Nanny Joe. I used to love watching
Speaker 2: kids crack it on SUPs.
Speaker 1: Have you ever interviewed her or met her? Oh, it's fascinating,
Speaker 1: really yeah, it's really really good on the show. Hey Linda, Hi,
Speaker 1: all right, So you were in the most popular location
Speaker 1: for a rip roaring tantrum, the supermarket.
Speaker 9: I sure was my now eight year old at the time.
Speaker 9: She was four, just on the checkout with three kids
Speaker 9: in tow, one in the stroller, paying for the groceries.
Speaker 9: We're heading to the car. She wanted to soft boy
Speaker 9: at the checkout. I said, no, mom, just leave it.
Speaker 9: We're going to go to another shop. I'll get you
Speaker 9: all something at all ways, and she wouldn't.
Speaker 6: She refused.
Speaker 9: I left it there behind, and I thought, oh my god.
Speaker 9: All the way to the car, she threw that tantrum
Speaker 9: I'll never forget it. And she ran off just just
Speaker 9: before we got to the car, and I had to
Speaker 9: run after her, and I was right, she was going
Speaker 9: to run on the road. I end up smack them
Speaker 9: on my face. I felt as if someone had knocked
Speaker 9: me out on the concrete. I ended up in emergency
Speaker 9: that evening and never again when I say shopping, that's
Speaker 9: hard when you don't have anybody look after them. And
Speaker 9: I'll never forget it, I thought, I knocked my teeth out.
Speaker 1: And oh my god.
Speaker 9: As soon as she saw me get up with all
Speaker 9: the blood pouring from my face, she said, sorry, Mom, Sorry, mom,
Speaker 9: I won't do that again. And yes, so it's very hardly.
Speaker 1: This is genius, but you probably could have just said
Speaker 1: get in the car. You didn't have to like throw
Speaker 1: yourself on the.
Speaker 3: Ground to prove the dramatic. But that is good price
Speaker 3: voucher for you, Linda. Let's finish with Stacey Stace.
Speaker 10: Hello, Hello, you so good.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about tantrums and the nightmare of them.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, we were at a shopping center at one
Speaker 10: of those little parks, you know, this playground. My daughter
Speaker 10: was three, she's twenty now, so she'd be mortified if
Speaker 10: she knew was on the phone, but she decided. I
Speaker 10: said it's time to go. It took me an hour
Speaker 10: and a half to actually get her to the car.
Speaker 10: Oh my god, because I finally So you get her
Speaker 10: in the pram, and you know how they arched their backs. Yes,
Speaker 10: I don't want to be strapped in.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: And then you've got to strap them in. My god,
Speaker 1: takes the force of seven thousand horses.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's it.
Speaker 10: And then so she's kicking people on the way. People
Speaker 10: were walking past, and she's kicking people.
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 10: So then we walk towards the walk towards the eatery,
Speaker 10: and she lets out this enormous screen and everyone turns around,
Speaker 10: including the Stanta doing damp. So I said to her,
Speaker 10: you know what now, I said, Santa's looking at you.
Speaker 10: There is no toys. There is nothing for you this Christmas.
Speaker 10: So we get to the car. We're on our way home,
Speaker 10: going down the freeway. We're going a hundred. She opened
Speaker 10: the door.
Speaker 1: My god, she can stay on the freeway.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I've never been sure in my decision
Speaker 3: to never have children.
Speaker 1: Oh look, she was tired and hungry. Jack the Chrissy
Speaker 1: Swan Show First Chrissy's Clique Fait. I'm going to be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I find it very hard to order
Speaker 1: a steak at a restaurant. Why they're so expensive? What
Speaker 1: do you mean the logic of it. I know that
Speaker 1: they're lovely, and I know that you're not just paying
Speaker 1: for the piece of meat. You're paying for the experience
Speaker 1: in the hospitality and all of that. But to pay
Speaker 1: fifty dollars for a piece of steak, I find very
Speaker 1: very hard.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: It's one of those things. It's probably the only meal
Speaker 2: at a restaurant that I'm.
Speaker 3: Happy to not look at how much it costs because
Speaker 3: I love it so much and like a well cooked
Speaker 3: steak I mean by that, I mean rare. I just
Speaker 3: am so happy to pay the money for It's such
Speaker 3: a beautiful experience, it's such a beautiful cutting men.
Speaker 1: I wish I had, I wish I was more like you,
Speaker 1: But I can't. I can't do it. Jeremy Clarkson is
Speaker 1: finding that other people can't do it either. There has
Speaker 1: been back nastiness. He's opened up a new pub in
Speaker 1: Oxfordshire and Jeremy Clarkson, He's from top Gear and all that.
Speaker 1: But he's one of these guys. He's also got a
Speaker 1: TV show where he shows what it's like to have
Speaker 1: absolutely no skills and run at the farm. And I
Speaker 1: feel like he's done the same with a pub. He's
Speaker 1: got no skills and he's doing this thing. But he's
Speaker 1: really hell bent on British made. Everything in that pub
Speaker 1: that you can buy has to be made in Britain. Right,
Speaker 1: He's charging twenty eight pounds for a piece of steak,
Speaker 1: Now that's fine. Well, there's two things out that I
Speaker 1: got out of this. Everyone's mad about it. By the way,
Speaker 1: twenty eight pounds works out to be about fifty sixty
Speaker 1: bucks Australian. That says to me that Australia is very
Speaker 1: expensive to live in. If we read that and we
Speaker 1: go got twenty eight pounds, okay, our cost of living
Speaker 1: is out of control.
Speaker 3: But I was in I remember being in London and
Speaker 3: paying like twenty five pounds for a steak and I
Speaker 3: was like, that was just the norm in the middle
Speaker 3: of this year.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the norm for you.
Speaker 3: I'm not some rich like kit of Beverly Hill. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: People are so mad about it. Someone posted a photograph
Speaker 1: of a steak. It looks stunning, by the way, a
Speaker 1: little bit overdone for you. Yeah, but it looks beautiful.
Speaker 9: That name.
Speaker 1: Vene sauce, and it's got sort of a little truffly
Speaker 1: thing and one beautiful singular carrot, a huge carrot, by
Speaker 1: the way. But everyone's like, I'm sure says its steak
Speaker 1: and charrot sat is one carrot singular.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with this, And I also thinks wanning Jeremy
Speaker 2: Clarkson's one of those dudes that people.
Speaker 3: Love to write about and hate on. Yes, I has
Speaker 3: a bit of tall poppy syndrome around, Jre.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. Having said that, I just want
Speaker 1: to remind you I did teach you how to cook
Speaker 1: a steak that tastes exactly like fancy restaurant one. It
Speaker 1: cross a bus And.
Speaker 2: I still do that for my parents when I go
Speaker 2: down to the peninsula and I make it at home.
Speaker 3: At home, I stick by yours. They pressed, they were, they.
Speaker 2: Loved it, and I'm still just shook it that you
Speaker 2: don't oil the pan. You just oil the steak before
Speaker 2: putting it on the path. That's right, Marinate.
Speaker 1: When are they going to sign the adoption papers? What
Speaker 1: do I have to do now. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about a text message that was sent from Joe Jonas.
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 1: I get them more confused? Joe Jonas, you wear that
Speaker 1: nasty breakup with the girl from Game of Thrones. He
Speaker 1: texted Timothy's Chalomay. Yes, last year, last December, So that's
Speaker 1: a year ago. Really? Well, it is, my god, it's
Speaker 1: already December, he says, last December, I sent Timothy Shalamee
Speaker 1: a text from my friend's phone, anticipating a response, and
Speaker 1: then another photo of him saying this December. He still
Speaker 1: hasn't texted back. I hope this helped, which is sort
Speaker 1: of funny. But here's the thing. He posted the text message.
Speaker 1: It says TC Timothy chalo May and it says I
Speaker 1: missed you from him in green should be blue, by
Speaker 1: the way, shouldn't.
Speaker 2: I mean, the fact Timothy Chalamey potentially has uses Android
Speaker 2: upsets me.
Speaker 3: But that's right.
Speaker 1: I don't think he does use Android. I don't think
Speaker 1: that text message has got to him. That's first. Have
Speaker 1: a look at what time it was sent.
Speaker 3: At twelve fifty eight am one am.
Speaker 1: I am telling you this is not on Timothy Challa May.
Speaker 1: If my phone goes off at one am and it's
Speaker 1: a number I do not recognize. You're not getting a response,
Speaker 1: Absolutely not if that goes to my children too.
Speaker 2: By the way, regularly Timycheller up Next Seed, Tomorrow check up.
