Very Christmas, Jack, Very Christmas, Swanie.

I come bearing gifts for me. Okay, I'm gonna hold
this up. You're gonna tell me what it is?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What is it? It is a you? Is it a
YUEI boom mini roll?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, it's the ultimate ear is mini roll. And I
did not purchase this for myself. I bought this for
my mum, Pat Swan. I love that and.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
So she can listen to our show in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I didn't give it to her. Oh, I bought it
for her. And then this morning I stole it from
under the tree because I wanted to, and I just
thought it's such a great thing and I would use
it so much. Would she use it as much as me? No,
So I squirreled it away and I gave her a
(00:58):
box of Walkers short Break instead, and she was fine
with it.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Was good.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
She'd be wrapped with that. Hey, we are here with
you for the next two hours.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Swanny.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Hey, we've got the great Hugo Weaving joining us.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
How wonderful. I wonder what he brings to a family Christmas.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Do you think he's the kind of guy that cooks.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I reckon He's got one signature dish that he does
every single time and it's an absolute killer.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Okay, let's ask him. We're also going to have Brook
warn stop by. She's got some exciting stuff happening at
the MCG tomorrow for Boxing Day.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
She would have had some over the top Christmases one
hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
We must ask her about them. And hey, we're going
to ask you guys some questions and to get involved
in the show. And for doing so you get one
hundred bucks cash thanks to Office Works.

I've got on board. I love Christmas as you know. Yeah, boys,
Jack is here. Thank you for giving up your Christmas Day.
Appreciate it. My pleasure and Tom, you know you've got

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I do you have a big family. Mum, let me
have the dates.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And you've been given here since seven am, which was unnecessary,
but I'm thrilled.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, we had a Katie Lange cover concert downstairs last
night Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Listen. I've told you please stop that. No, we're about
to go into twenty twenty five together proudly. No, I
do look like Katie Lang. You don't. I'm happy to
accept it. We don't. If I say it's fine, it's fine.
Dave O'Neil looks like that too, Katie.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, you know, like a younger version of Katie Lane.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You don't though, we don't. Let's do anyway. I have
bought you Christmas presents and I've waited until today to
give them to you. They're sort of the same, but friend, great,
this one's for you, Tom, Yes, thank you so much
for all your amazing work this year. And you are
a thrill to work with every time I see you,
(03:10):
and a great singer. And this one is for you
and Jack now normally I love presents and I put
a lot of thought into it. Open them up, you
don't open them. And this year I've bought you cook
wear and all that sort of stuff, you know, big
boy stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I use that all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But this year I've bought you one off artwork.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes, because you're you guys.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
God, you're a good gift giver. Would this.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So it's some.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's Christmas Day, tome, don't swear.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's by a guy who works out of his own gallery.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I bought you one. I bought you this one, Tom
because your family is from Sicily.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
So that was that weird text exchange that we had.
Text me and goes, where are you from in Italy?
I was like, she goes, is that it?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I was like, you think, so yeah? So there you
go there like little little tiles and then I'm beautiful.
I love that Italian hand and it reminds me of
you Jack, you sometimes use it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I love that emoji.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, and then you know there's coffee and it's pink
because you're both gay. Anything anyway, there you go, so
you've got it. I don't know how much artwork you've
got at home. It might be your first bit, but
I'm thrilled to start your collection.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I love.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Now I'm ready to get my present. What have you
guys got for me?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I know we've got some Christmas carols we've got to
get to. And Brook warns, I'm outside waiting to come
and chat to us. I wait, I wait, Oh, it's
all good.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
You're listening to the Christy Swan Christmas Special here at Nova,
the Cristy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You're listening it to the Christy Swan Christmas Special. And
I do feel like I've opened the best gift of
all because the gorgeous Brook worn.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Hi Christy, Hi Jack.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Thank you for having me look at you pure sunshine?
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
How are you guys? Good? Thank you very well. Now
are you going to be getting an early night so
you can really hit the ground running at the NROMA
Insurance Boxing Day test tomorrow? Brookie.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
Yes, We're so excited and so grateful for everyone and
all of our sponsors.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
To be able to make this happen again.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
And Boxing Day just holds such a special place in
our family's heart. And you know, so many iconic memories
were made at Boxing Day and we're just so grateful
to be able to have our shame more legacy heart
checks again at the Boxing Day test on our health.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So what does that mean if I was going to go,
which I'm not, but my brother in law will be there.
He's there every single Boxing date. It's like a tradition.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
What can I suggest that he does.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
So on our health checks, shame on legacy health checks.
We have a machine that's able to check for your
B and I, your blood pressure, your heart age, your
cholesterol levels as well. So our four minute uninvasive health
check is what you can do. And also we're gonna
have stations set up where you can actually get a
fingerprick check and you can actually check for your cholesterol
(06:11):
levels and your diabetes risk as well.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
That's awesome, that's so good. So like sixteen minutes, sixteen minutes.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
And basically these tests could potentially save your life. So
we're gonna have so many machines this year at the
Boxing Day test, double the amount of last than last year,
and so we're going to hopefully be able to check
double the amount of people as well.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Love it and will you be there all day?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Brook?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
I will be there all day.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
I'll be there for the whole boxing day test and
I'm so excited. So yes, very sad.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
What does Christmas Day entail in your family? Like, what
is the one thing that you guys do that you
think is a bit unique?
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Well, our Christmas is Christmas for us now is never
really the same because Dad loved Christmas and he loved birthdays.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Knew he would, I knew he'd be a fellow Christmas person.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Like me, I'm the grinchn't like Christmas very much, but
I'm trying to get back into the Christmas spirit. You must,
and usually it's it's a whole lot of family time.
We usually alternate each year, but this year is my
mum's side of Christmas, so I'm very excited.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
My brother's hosting, so we're super excited.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
But a Christmas tradition for us would be either getting
in the pool, my mum's chicken sandwiches, my uncle's prawns,
lemon slice.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
I love lemon slice, which is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So it's not a very traditional Christmas dish. I know it.
What is your dish because you're a cook this year
my prawn rolls?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
What kind of role are we talking so little.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Like a hot dog bun, but a bresh version with prawn's,
spring onion, garlic, CuPy mayo and a little bit of
chili with cos lettuce or butter lettuce put in with
melted butter on the roll and then the prawn mixture
on top. So I think I'm going to make those
instead of just grilled prawns.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Now you've had a massive year and I feel like
you have seen two million and five cold Play shows?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Will here? Can you run us.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Through where you saw them and how many times you
actually went okay?
Speaker 8 (08:12):
So I have been lucky enough to go to their
Wembley shows in twenty twenty two. We went to Perth
in twenty twenty three, so we did two in Wembley,
two in Perth, and then we did three in Melbourne
and then Mum and I went.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
To New Zealand and we did two in New Zealand
as well.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
So we're so grateful for Chris and the whole Coldplay
team for it to be able to look after us.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
But yes, Chris is just the best.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Do you know, like every lyric to every song? Do
you feel like that now?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Yes I do. It is seriously the best. It's the
best concert and if you ever get a chance to go,
you have to go. It is just the most feel good, positive,
feel with love.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Feel with joy, the best energy from start to finish,
and not to mention, the best music ever.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I want to ask you, and you're not allowed to
have Yellow because Yellow is your dad's song for you obviously,
but for the entire world, that's off the off the table. Up,
what is your favorite Coldplay song?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
My favorite Coldplay song would probably be Him for the
Weekend or Viva loveda Oh Wow, all the Scientists, they're
my top three part from Yellow.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
All right, Brookie, speaking of music, stick around because we
want to play a game called stump Creasy with you.
It's been a massive year in Australia for live acts coming,
so we're going to play a music game right after this.
It's the Christy Swan Christmas Special here at Nova, The Chrissy.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Swan Show, The Chrissy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You're listening to the Christy Swan Christmas Special. Brookworn, welcome back,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
It's good to be here with us.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
We had a little prawn cocktail and a hand sandwich
and you're still here.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
You're still here.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You've still got me?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
All right.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It was a massive year in music for Australia. We
had a lot of live international acts come and see us.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
So we're going to play this game Stump Crasy Brook.
This is where I pick you increasy together in a game.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And this is kind of a Swan FM's day tradition
because we always end up doing trivia do you or
downloading an app exactly like this game.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Oh, I love that very fun?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Do you always win? Because your music knowledge is unbelievable?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, my sister's usually there and I learned from the
best and I have we have both passed on our
genetic predisposition to ridiculous knowledge of lyrics to my daughter.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Pick how good is that?
Speaker 7 (10:26):
That's amazing?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Alrighty, I'm going to play the first two seconds of
a song.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
And all of these artists have been in Australia this
year and have performed live, so they should be in
your brains. Okay, alrighty round and you've got to buzzing
with the title and.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Artists shouldn't have had all that egg nog song one.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I can't help myself.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I don't know. I'll give you a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
You know, you know more than me.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Fret again. What's the song? Are you?
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (11:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yes, the one?
Speaker 7 (11:04):
And I didn't get to go bread Again tickets.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I bought four fake fred again tis because they were
actually a fangirl night sixteen dollars tickets each.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I bought five of them.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I thought, yes, this is.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
So I got got freddageint tickets for sixteen dollars, not
just a fan night where they played the music.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
And that is the best runner.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
And still didn't get a ticket.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That show was amazing. You would have loved it, Yeah, already.
One point to Brook song number two.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
I couldn't hear it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, I don't know. Is it cold point? No, it's
not Taylor but close. I'll give you one little bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Song Driver's License. No, No, that's my favorite one guys,
damn Van, I had that song a million times. That
little bit that you play did not sound anything like
Justice at all.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
It starts quite slow. Still one point to Brook song
number three. These are all artists that have been in
town this year.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We're bad at this. That's pink yeah, pill like a
pial money.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Better.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You can give me.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Jack's favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
When I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I would have do pigs backup downs and I had
posters on the wall. How off brand is up to me?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Now? Like absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
She was very avant garde. Then you were ahead of
the curve.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It was already one point each. Song number four.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Crazy, it's cold Play and it's my favorite song. It sparks.
I couldn't even hear it.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Go game.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I know the song don't Panic.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Don't Panic beautiful? Why do they call songs that don't
have the lyrics in them and.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Song they have to bring back into their set list?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Don't Panic, It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Parachutes is the best album.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You've got to stories controverse one point each. This one
song five is for the win and you get a
hug from me.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Chrissy Swift and.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Cruel Summer.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
So did you go to that show? But I went

Thank you so much for coming in. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Merry Christmas guys. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
See you at Boxing Day tomorrow. Also, I don't think
either of you on that that was not great.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
The Chrissy Swan show.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You're listening to the Christy Sworn Christmas Special on a
Christmas Day? What are we even doing here? I know
we're escaping our loved ones. You are my loved one.
And last year we did this Christmas show. It was
an absolute hoot. My favorite part of any meal is
the Christmas cracker. Yes, is yours too?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah? They're good for I mean the food, but like
Christmas cracker, do you.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Soup them up with fun things in such?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, I'm a liar. I think it's lame, and I
don't do them. I'm not gonna. I just realized I
was fully lying. Then, like putting a hat on my head,
I've start my hair. I don't want to put the
silly hat on my head. Sorry, it's giving grinch, I know,
but I'm just gonna be honest.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Mary was a pretty pink hat.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Because I'm gay, I have to wear a pink one
suits you. Okay, So I like this tradition that we've started.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yes, we have our own Christmas crackers, but inside are
not those lamer the hat anyway, we have our own
crackers and inside questions, yes, answer, who's going to go first?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You go first? Here?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Two to three? Okay, it was me that time. All right, Jack, Yes,
what is your current credit card debt?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Do you would actually know? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I do.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Okay, let me open my up. Guys. This could be
really grim, this is, but I think.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
It's really freeing to say the number and not be
to be defined by it. What is the.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Actual number of what's owed?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, read it.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Out, six hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
And what's the minimum payment?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
A one hundred and sixty dollars?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Like to make it all right, but I paid off
every time I get paid, not in full obviously, but
like I put a good decent amount onto it.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Good on you, Yeah, ask me what mine is?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
What is your zero credit card debt?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Zero? I got into so much trouble when I was
about your raid. No, maybe a bit younger, got a
credit card, didn't realize that it was still my money.
I had to pay it back, you know what. I
was just like, oh my god, I've got to pay
that what what? And I got in so much trouble
that now I'm so anxious about I've always got a
(16:22):
zero balance.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Alright, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh my god, what have you got?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I've got this question? Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I am one of the only people you speak to
every single day.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
What is the thing you like most about me?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
What do I like most about you?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I've got one for you as well. Actually, what I like.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
About you is that you are so reliable and you're
like a good You're like a big mac oh.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I love that every.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Time I see you, no matter where in the world
or in the office or in the city you are,
you are the same. And I love that. I didn't
realize how much I needed that in a friend and
a colleague.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I really love it. And also, you're never angry. Yeah, okay,
you never get angry. I'm never scared of you.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like, yeah, okay, you know I get sassy, but not angry.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, there's a difference. I'm never scared because I'm a
I can feel people's moods and that if I am
vaguely scared, they're going to have a cross word at me.
I like see an enemy, and I've never felt that
with you, and it's such a relief.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I'm so glad.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Mine for you is because someone asked me this the
other day and I was like, oh, Like it came
to me straight away.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I didn't have to think about it.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
You are so non judgmental, and especially with me, given
with such different lives really outside of your studio.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Hypothetically, like, for example, if I were to come in
one day, I mean, obviously this hasn't happened and I'm hungover,
and as someone that doesn't drink or doesn't really you know,
have that lifestyle in their life, you're always so So
you're the first person to get me a diet coke.
You don't judge ever, and you really care and look
after me, and I think that, of.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Course, I trust that you're doing your life the way
you want to do it. It's not my business. I
worked with someone that was very judgmental and it was
very odd to me.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, you've never been judging.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Suddenly that person was my colleague's business. On your business?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Just support me. Yeah, you're incredibly supportive of non judgmental.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I love everything about you.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Okay, let's do one more question. Tom's written some good ones.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
How much influenced Oh no, I like this one.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Have I ever said anything to you or given any
advice that you revisit?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Yes, because I think the things pop up into my
head all the time. If I would have write a book.
I could list so many things that you've taught me,
but they're not always like big, deep life things. There's
definitely deep life things, but there's also like little things
like every time I put a piece of ice in
a glass, I think of you because you were the
person that taught me how to twist a really nice cube.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Wow, I just remember on it. When I first started
working with you, I never knew that you could twist it.
That sounds really weird now, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I remember that and tapping it and trying to get
it out, and I'm like, you just twist.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So I always think about that, how to cook a
good steak, how to cook poach eggs properly. Like, there's
just lots of life stuff that you I would attribute
to you, and.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You share life stuff with me too, despite the age gap. Yes,
one thing that I have really i've been hearing your
voice in my head recently. You know, last few months,
you just said to me one day, enjoy your life.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Bish, you got to enjoy it.

Of course we are. We're not scroogy.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
It's the Christy Swan Christmas Special here at Nova, the
Christy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Hello you, and good on you for listening it to
the Christy Swan Christmas Special. The day is here so exciting.
I do love Christmas Day so much.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
So, I Swanny, I was hoping we'd see Santa in
the Novas studio is given it's Christmas Day, but apparently not,
and apparently not.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We're the only two chumps that work on this day. Look,
I'm going to say that almost one hundred percent of
people would have done the presents by now. I'm sure
there are a few people that do them at night
or whatever, but you know they're done and dusted, and
there are going to be some moments that occurred this
morning amid the wrapping paper in front of the tree
that will be very hard to forget because sometimes people
(25:55):
miss the mark on gifts.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
It is tough with like cousins, I find sometimes because
you don't always know them that well, and that intimately
that it's hard to buy for them.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know people say that, but what about just one
of those canisters from the supermarket of Cadbury scorched Starman's.
You can't go wrong.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I'm wouldn't be happy with that.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
We've got Claire on the line. Hello Claire, Hello Mary,
Christmas Christmas. I'm so impressed that you're talking to us generally.
You know, it's very hard to talk with that much
ham in your tummy.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
I haven't even star.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Oh good girl. Now, Claire, we're talking terrible gifts, and
you have one that I cannot believe.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Yes, I think I think after thirty two years how
they kind of hit a wall and he really pushed
the boat out this year and I got a car
air freshener.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Okay, all right. Was it one of those sort of
fancy plug in ones I called aby Purr or something,
you know, the ones that there was something that there's
a fancy one or was it just like a pine
tree that you hang off the revision mirror?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Do you know what? One of those fancy ones might
even have been really nice? But no, it wasn't. It
was actually one that you just hang off the mirror.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Oh no, was it like a custom made was it
his face or no?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
No, it wasn't custom made. It was supporting the basketball
team that we support. So he did actually have to
order it, so you know that kind of I don't know.
In a way, I'm impressed, but then also I'm thinking
if he was ordering it ahead of time, he probably
could have got something else.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So Claire, are you, like, you know, communicative enough to say.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
We're getting divorced?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Could you say I'm sorry. To think of what I
would do. I would be like, is this a joke?
But then you don't want to you don't what? And
then did you go? How did how did this happen?
Do you hate me? Get a lawyer?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
I literally I was speechless. I've got to be honest.
I was absolutely speechless. And I usually I'm pretty good
at putting on a poker face, but I was like, ah, okay, thanks.
Did he say know what else to say?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Did he say? I don't know. I I fell on
some train tracks and I've lost my memory. I don't
know who you are anymore? Like what did he say
about an air freshener?
Speaker 9 (28:36):
No, I mean he kind of just said. Look, he says,
we've kind of had enough Christmases now and we buy
what we want. So this was just like a you know,
just like a thought more than anything. But it was like, yeah, okay,
I think my kids actually probably gave me a bit
more thought than that.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
But still I feel like, I feel like, if you're
going to call time on Christmas, and I think it's absolute,
absolutely a good idea, sometimes I think that needs to
be a discussion before you open an air fresh now.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I absolutely agree.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Also, I kind of look at those air fresheners and
think they only look okay for Christmas for the month
of December because they do just look at Christmas trees
all year und in people's car.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh absolutely, but mine is I've got one of Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I bought it myself.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I like, hey, Claire, you've got one hundred dollars cash
thanks to Office Works thirteen twenty four to ten.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Imagine how many air fresheners you can get for.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
That, right, thirteen twenty four ten.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
We want to ask you on this Christmas Day, what
is the worst gift you've received? You will also receive
one hundred dollars cash thanks to Office Works. It's the
christiest one Christmas Special here over.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It could have happened this morning. You could be holding
the worst present ever.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
The Christy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Oh hi, we are here. Can you believe it? It
is Christmas Day and you are listening to us, And
that is the greatest gift we have ever received. It's
the Christy Swan Christmas Special. We're talking about the worst
gifts you've ever got. And we just spoke to Claire
who got an air freshener.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
From her husband of all people, and.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
It wasn't even it wasn't being funny.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
No, I do worry about their relationship.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
No I don't. I just I would worry about myself
in that situation because I don't really understand jokes like that.
I don't understand jokes and pranks, and I would think
it was a prank, but I didn't understand it. But
it wasn't a prank.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, it's confusing to be very awkward.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
We are asking what is the worst gift you've received,
and just for getting on air with us, we'll give
you one hundred bucks cash thanks to Office Works.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
So let's kick off with Chloe.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, I'm running out of different ways to say, Mary Chris.
Was that the yule tied? Chloe? Mary Chris?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
What is time?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Are you joking?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Welcome?
Speaker 10 (30:46):
I'm so stoked. Now I've got I've got a beauty.
One of my beautiful friends who I've been friends with
for a very long time, gave me a pair of
herb cust like herb scissors. Now not only do I
not cook, I don't garden.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
See this is the thing. When you said I got herbs,
I was like, oh my god, what a great present.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
For me like that.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
That is a great present for me because I do
garden and I do grow my own herbs and I
cook with them. That is perfect. In fact, I went, oh,
maybe that's good. I'll get that next year. But for you,
that is so thoughtless. Did you bring it up with her?
Did you say, oh, what's this about?
Speaker 10 (31:26):
Well, it was a bit of a novelty a joke
at the time. And then I said, oh, I said,
what do I actually use these for? And she told
me and I said, you know, I don't cook, and
you know I don't garden. And she's like, oh, I
thought you might like them still, and I said, oh, thanks,
but would you like them back?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Oh, Chloe, this is too much. And then do you
did you ever speak to her again?
Speaker 10 (31:50):
Of course, yes, she's still one of my very best friends.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I would whack them in the cupboard, Chloe and regive
them to like my grand or pop for their birthday.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yes, pay Phil, bye guys.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
J Noelle, what's the worst gift you've received? Mate?
Speaker 9 (32:08):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (32:08):
God, this was such a terrible gift. I receive peanuts
nuts for my Christmas gift.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
So did you say peanuts?
Speaker 11 (32:17):
Yeah, peanuts like a peanuts gift like one of those
music bars, like who gave you that? One of my
good mates?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That is the most unusual gift, but even more unusual because.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
I was allergic to those basically peanuts and that was
all in them.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh well, your friends trying to kill you?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, and I'll tell you I'll tell you what. And
Uncle Toby's gift back is a lot easier to get
than a loaded gun.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Hundred bucks cash thanks to office works for you, Phil, Hello.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Just center, Hello Christy?
Speaker 6 (32:49):

Speaker 2 (32:50):
I love the sound of your voice. I just love it.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Have you eaten? You?
Speaker 2 (32:54):

Where you're at?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Just sent?
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Look, Chrissy, Yeah, I am not yet, but looking very
much forward.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
To great great But wait, what is the worst gift
you've ever got? And who was it from?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Oh, Chrissy, It was a long time ago now, is
when I first started going out with my husband and
my now husband and I got a weight loss cookbook
from my mother in law and we'd only been dating
for like this was probably only the first or second
family Christmas that I had attended that was pre kids,
(33:33):
and I yeah, actually thought I was looking all right, then.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Funny, just center. I mean, in the words of the
Great Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate today, forgive then,
so they not know, they do not know what they do.
Just center. Women born in that time thought it was
absolutely fine to say things like, oh your pet's elders, jeez,
(33:59):
you're a big girl, all that sort of stuff, and
it just made you feel like dying.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Are you close with her? Now? It's the vibe like, now.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
No, Jack, No, we're not. I thought Jack to open
a present of it.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I actually thought Jack was just going to do one
of his greatest hits there and say are you still
close with her? And you were going to say, no,
she's dead. Generally what happens to him?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
The Christy Swan Show, Hey have the yule tied?

a already incredibly beloved and taken to our hearts feature
(35:08):
film that is available on binge. It's been around for

hangover kind of cure. So watch that if you haven't
already to make gravy. It's called how to Make Gravy
based on this song. I can't know. I just can't
(35:31):
tell you how much we love it. First of all,
are you the generally a host for Christmas Day? What's happening?
Speaker 12 (35:38):
It's sort of try and swing with the family, whatever,
whatever people want to do. I try and sort of
just make Because it's too many competing agendas at Christmas,
I find it easier to just go with the flow,
and which means sometimes, yes, I think this Christmas, it's
a little bit at our house. Last Christmas it was
(35:58):
someone else's house Christmas. So I just tend to sort
of swing with whoever's sort of, you know, deciding to
do Christmas that year. So that's what that's That's that's
where I said.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Christmas to me means a lot of prawns, which leads
to massive inflammation in my joints. But I have no regrets.
And that seventies you know, ketchup and Mayo Murray rose sauce.
That's Christmas for me. What for my grant, it was
(36:30):
a trifle with about seven bottles of mcwilliam's sherry. Yep,
what is the one dish like Paul Kelly's gravy and
his dollop of tomato sauce. What is your signature dish
for Christmas?
Speaker 12 (36:43):
It's called summer pudding.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh, tell us about it?
Speaker 12 (36:46):
And summer pudding is actually one of the great culinary
dishes that has come out of England. It's a beautiful
summer fruit dish. You line a bowl with bread or
it could be panforte, could be could be panatonin, and
(37:07):
so you want to but you want bread basically, and
then you just you put black berries, black currants, red currants.
You have to get red currants and raspberries. Don't put
strawberries in don't put blueberries in wine. That's what I
do anyway, and that you like all so like red
(37:28):
wine and stew the fruit up, just half of it
with some sugar and then the rest of it's fresh
that all just sits inside the bread soaks up all
the juices. You weight it down, put it in the
fridge overnight. The next day you turn it out and
it's a It's this beautiful, ready purple dessert that you
(37:49):
cut into and have with cream or ice cream, and
it is absolutely the best. Yeah, absolutely, vanilla and just
a bit of sugar and vanilla and wine and all
that fruit and bread. It's the best thing.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Oh my, yougo, what's your drink of choice whilst you're
doing the dishes tonight on Christmas Night?
Speaker 12 (38:09):

be a martini. I'm a bit of a Marchini dude.
Speaker 3 (38:17):

Speaker 12 (38:21):
And grony as well. But then let's not talk about

Speaker 12 (38:32):
Santa's outfit? No? What do I wear on Christmas Day?
I don't know, very little.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
It's warm, maybe it's usually pretty warm.
Speaker 12 (38:40):
Yeah where I am I think it's hot.

aprons and nothing else.

thought it's such a great thing and I would use
it so much. Would she use it as much as me? No,

You are listening to the Chrsy Swan Christmas Special. We're
thrilled to be here and we're thrill that Office Works have.
I've got on board. I love Christmas as you know. Yeah, boys,
Jack is here. Thank you for giving up your Christmas Day.
Appreciate it. My pleasure and Tom, you know you've got
a very big family, and I was surprised how quickly
(02:13):
you said, Yes, I'll work Christmas Day, no worries.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I do you have a big family. Mum, let me
have the dates.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And you've been given here since seven am, which was unnecessary,
but I'm thrilled.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, we had a Katie Lange cover concert downstairs last
night Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Listen. I've told you please stop that. No, we're about
to go into twenty twenty five together proudly. No, I
do look like Katie Lang. You don't. I'm happy to
accept it. We don't. If I say it's fine, it's fine.
Dave O'Neil looks like that too, Katie.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, you know, like a younger version of Katie Lane.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You don't though, we don't. Let's do anyway. I have
bought you Christmas presents and I've waited until today to
give them to you. They're sort of the same, but friend, great,
this one's for you, Tom, Yes, thank you so much
for all your amazing work this year. And you are
a thrill to work with every time I see you,
(03:10):
and a great singer. And this one is for you
and Jack now normally I love presents and I put
a lot of thought into it. Open them up, you
don't open them. And this year I've bought you cook
wear and all that sort of stuff, you know, big
boy stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I use that all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But this year I've bought you one off artwork.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes, because you're you guys.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
God, you're a good gift giver. Would this.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So it's some.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's Christmas Day, tome, don't swear.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's by a guy who works out of his own gallery.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I bought you one. I bought you this one, Tom
because your family is from Sicily.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
So that was that weird text exchange that we had.
Text me and goes, where are you from in Italy?
I was like, she goes, is that it?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I was like, you think, so yeah? So there you
go there like little little tiles and then I'm beautiful.
I love that Italian hand and it reminds me of
you Jack, you sometimes use it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I love that emoji.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, and then you know there's coffee and it's pink
because you're both gay. Anything anyway, there you go, so
you've got it. I don't know how much artwork you've
got at home. It might be your first bit, but
I'm thrilled to start your collection.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I love.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Now I'm ready to get my present. What have you
guys got for me?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I know we've got some Christmas carols we've got to
get to. And Brook warns, I'm outside waiting to come
and chat to us. I wait, I wait, Oh, it's
all good.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
You're listening to the Christy Swan Christmas Special here at Nova,
the Cristy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You're listening it to the Christy Swan Christmas Special. And
I do feel like I've opened the best gift of
all because the gorgeous Brook worn.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Hi Christy, Hi Jack.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Thank you for having me look at you pure sunshine?
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
How are you guys? Good? Thank you very well. Now
are you going to be getting an early night so
you can really hit the ground running at the NROMA
Insurance Boxing Day test tomorrow? Brookie.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
Yes, We're so excited and so grateful for everyone and
all of our sponsors.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
To be able to make this happen again.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
And Boxing Day just holds such a special place in
our family's heart. And you know, so many iconic memories
were made at Boxing Day and we're just so grateful
to be able to have our shame more legacy heart
checks again at the Boxing Day test on our health.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So what does that mean if I was going to go,
which I'm not, but my brother in law will be there.
He's there every single Boxing date. It's like a tradition.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
What can I suggest that he does.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
So on our health checks, shame on legacy health checks.
We have a machine that's able to check for your
B and I, your blood pressure, your heart age, your
cholesterol levels as well. So our four minute uninvasive health
check is what you can do. And also we're gonna
have stations set up where you can actually get a
fingerprick check and you can actually check for your cholesterol
(06:11):
levels and your diabetes risk as well.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
That's awesome, that's so good. So like sixteen minutes, sixteen minutes.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
And basically these tests could potentially save your life. So
we're gonna have so many machines this year at the
Boxing Day test, double the amount of last than last year,
and so we're going to hopefully be able to check
double the amount of people as well.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Love it and will you be there all day?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Brook?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
I will be there all day.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
I'll be there for the whole boxing day test and
I'm so excited. So yes, very sad.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
What does Christmas Day entail in your family? Like, what
is the one thing that you guys do that you
think is a bit unique?
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Well, our Christmas is Christmas for us now is never
really the same because Dad loved Christmas and he loved birthdays.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Knew he would, I knew he'd be a fellow Christmas person.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Like me, I'm the grinchn't like Christmas very much, but
I'm trying to get back into the Christmas spirit. You must,
and usually it's it's a whole lot of family time.
We usually alternate each year, but this year is my
mum's side of Christmas, so I'm very excited.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
My brother's hosting, so we're super excited.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
But a Christmas tradition for us would be either getting
in the pool, my mum's chicken sandwiches, my uncle's prawns,
lemon slice.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
I love lemon slice, which is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So it's not a very traditional Christmas dish. I know it.
What is your dish because you're a cook this year
my prawn rolls?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
What kind of role are we talking so little.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Like a hot dog bun, but a bresh version with prawn's,
spring onion, garlic, CuPy mayo and a little bit of
chili with cos lettuce or butter lettuce put in with
melted butter on the roll and then the prawn mixture
on top. So I think I'm going to make those
instead of just grilled prawns.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Now you've had a massive year and I feel like
you have seen two million and five cold Play shows?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Will here? Can you run us.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Through where you saw them and how many times you
actually went okay?
Speaker 8 (08:12):
So I have been lucky enough to go to their
Wembley shows in twenty twenty two. We went to Perth
in twenty twenty three, so we did two in Wembley,
two in Perth, and then we did three in Melbourne
and then Mum and I went.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
To New Zealand and we did two in New Zealand
as well.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
So we're so grateful for Chris and the whole Coldplay
team for it to be able to look after us.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
But yes, Chris is just the best.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Do you know, like every lyric to every song? Do
you feel like that now?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Yes I do. It is seriously the best. It's the
best concert and if you ever get a chance to go,
you have to go. It is just the most feel good, positive,
feel with love.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Feel with joy, the best energy from start to finish,
and not to mention, the best music ever.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I want to ask you, and you're not allowed to
have Yellow because Yellow is your dad's song for you obviously,
but for the entire world, that's off the off the table. Up,
what is your favorite Coldplay song?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
My favorite Coldplay song would probably be Him for the
Weekend or Viva loveda Oh Wow, all the Scientists, they're
my top three part from Yellow.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
All right, Brookie, speaking of music, stick around because we
want to play a game called stump Creasy with you.
It's been a massive year in Australia for live acts coming,
so we're going to play a music game right after this.
It's the Christy Swan Christmas Special here at Nova, The Chrissy.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Swan Show, The Chrissy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You're listening to the Christy Swan Christmas Special. Brookworn, welcome back,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
It's good to be here with us.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
We had a little prawn cocktail and a hand sandwich
and you're still here.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
You're still here.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You've still got me?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
All right.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It was a massive year in music for Australia. We
had a lot of live international acts come and see us.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
So we're going to play this game Stump Crasy Brook.
This is where I pick you increasy together in a game.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And this is kind of a Swan FM's day tradition
because we always end up doing trivia do you or
downloading an app exactly like this game.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Oh, I love that very fun?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Do you always win? Because your music knowledge is unbelievable?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, my sister's usually there and I learned from the
best and I have we have both passed on our
genetic predisposition to ridiculous knowledge of lyrics to my daughter.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Pick how good is that?
Speaker 7 (10:26):
That's amazing?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Alrighty, I'm going to play the first two seconds of
a song.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
And all of these artists have been in Australia this
year and have performed live, so they should be in
your brains. Okay, alrighty round and you've got to buzzing
with the title and.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Artists shouldn't have had all that egg nog song one.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I can't help myself.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I don't know. I'll give you a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
You know, you know more than me.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Fret again. What's the song? Are you?
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (11:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yes, the one?
Speaker 7 (11:04):
And I didn't get to go bread Again tickets.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I bought four fake fred again tis because they were
actually a fangirl night sixteen dollars tickets each.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I bought five of them.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I thought, yes, this is.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
So I got got freddageint tickets for sixteen dollars, not
just a fan night where they played the music.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
And that is the best runner.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
And still didn't get a ticket.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That show was amazing. You would have loved it, Yeah, already.
One point to Brook song number two.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
I couldn't hear it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, I don't know. Is it cold point? No, it's
not Taylor but close. I'll give you one little bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Song Driver's License. No, No, that's my favorite one guys,
damn Van, I had that song a million times. That
little bit that you play did not sound anything like
Justice at all.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
It starts quite slow. Still one point to Brook song
number three. These are all artists that have been in
town this year.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We're bad at this. That's pink yeah, pill like a
pial money.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Better.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You can give me.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Jack's favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
When I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I would have do pigs backup downs and I had
posters on the wall. How off brand is up to me?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Now? Like absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
She was very avant garde. Then you were ahead of
the curve.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It was already one point each. Song number four.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Crazy, it's cold Play and it's my favorite song. It sparks.
I couldn't even hear it.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Go game.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I know the song don't Panic.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Don't Panic beautiful? Why do they call songs that don't
have the lyrics in them and.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Song they have to bring back into their set list?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Don't Panic, It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Parachutes is the best album.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You've got to stories controverse one point each. This one
song five is for the win and you get a
hug from me.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Chrissy Swift and.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Cruel Summer.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
So did you go to that show? But I went
at Wembley, I didn't go to the g I can
get tickets to the showing Brook.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Thank you so much for coming in. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Merry Christmas guys. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
See you at Boxing Day tomorrow. Also, I don't think
either of you on that that was not great.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
The Chrissy Swan show.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You're listening to the Christy Sworn Christmas Special on a
Christmas Day? What are we even doing here? I know
we're escaping our loved ones. You are my loved one.
And last year we did this Christmas show. It was
an absolute hoot. My favorite part of any meal is
the Christmas cracker. Yes, is yours too?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah? They're good for I mean the food, but like
Christmas cracker, do you.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Soup them up with fun things in such?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, I'm a liar. I think it's lame, and I
don't do them. I'm not gonna. I just realized I
was fully lying. Then, like putting a hat on my head,
I've start my hair. I don't want to put the
silly hat on my head. Sorry, it's giving grinch, I know,
but I'm just gonna be honest.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Mary was a pretty pink hat.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Because I'm gay, I have to wear a pink one
suits you. Okay, So I like this tradition that we've started.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yes, we have our own Christmas crackers, but inside are
not those lamer the hat anyway, we have our own
crackers and inside questions, yes, answer, who's going to go first?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You go first? Here?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Two to three? Okay, it was me that time. All right, Jack, Yes,
what is your current credit card debt?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Do you would actually know? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I do.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Okay, let me open my up. Guys. This could be
really grim, this is, but I think.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
It's really freeing to say the number and not be
to be defined by it. What is the.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Actual number of what's owed?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, read it.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Out, six hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
And what's the minimum payment?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
A one hundred and sixty dollars?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Like to make it all right, but I paid off
every time I get paid, not in full obviously, but
like I put a good decent amount onto it.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Good on you, Yeah, ask me what mine is?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
What is your zero credit card debt?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Zero? I got into so much trouble when I was
about your raid. No, maybe a bit younger, got a
credit card, didn't realize that it was still my money.
I had to pay it back, you know what. I
was just like, oh my god, I've got to pay
that what what? And I got in so much trouble
that now I'm so anxious about I've always got a
(16:22):
zero balance.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Alright, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh my god, what have you got?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I've got this question? Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I am one of the only people you speak to
every single day.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
What is the thing you like most about me?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
What do I like most about you?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I've got one for you as well. Actually, what I like.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
About you is that you are so reliable and you're
like a good You're like a big mac oh.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I love that every.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Time I see you, no matter where in the world
or in the office or in the city you are,
you are the same. And I love that. I didn't
realize how much I needed that in a friend and
a colleague.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I really love it. And also, you're never angry. Yeah, okay,
you never get angry. I'm never scared of you.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like, yeah, okay, you know I get sassy, but not angry.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, there's a difference. I'm never scared because I'm a
I can feel people's moods and that if I am
vaguely scared, they're going to have a cross word at me.
I like see an enemy, and I've never felt that
with you, and it's such a relief.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I'm so glad.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Mine for you is because someone asked me this the
other day and I was like, oh, Like it came
to me straight away.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I didn't have to think about it.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
You are so non judgmental, and especially with me, given
with such different lives really outside of your studio.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Hypothetically, like, for example, if I were to come in
one day, I mean, obviously this hasn't happened and I'm hungover,
and as someone that doesn't drink or doesn't really you know,
have that lifestyle in their life, you're always so So
you're the first person to get me a diet coke.
You don't judge ever, and you really care and look
after me, and I think that, of.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Course, I trust that you're doing your life the way
you want to do it. It's not my business. I
worked with someone that was very judgmental and it was
very odd to me.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, you've never been judging.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Suddenly that person was my colleague's business. On your business?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Just support me. Yeah, you're incredibly supportive of non judgmental.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I love everything about you.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Okay, let's do one more question. Tom's written some good ones.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
How much influenced Oh no, I like this one.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Have I ever said anything to you or given any
advice that you revisit?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Yes, because I think the things pop up into my
head all the time. If I would have write a book.
I could list so many things that you've taught me,
but they're not always like big, deep life things. There's
definitely deep life things, but there's also like little things
like every time I put a piece of ice in
a glass, I think of you because you were the
person that taught me how to twist a really nice cube.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Wow, I just remember on it. When I first started
working with you, I never knew that you could twist it.
That sounds really weird now, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I remember that and tapping it and trying to get
it out, and I'm like, you just twist.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So I always think about that, how to cook a
good steak, how to cook poach eggs properly. Like, there's
just lots of life stuff that you I would attribute
to you, and.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You share life stuff with me too, despite the age gap. Yes,
one thing that I have really i've been hearing your
voice in my head recently. You know, last few months,
you just said to me one day, enjoy your life.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Bish, you got to enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You got to enjoy your life. And I'm like, sometimes
I'm just like so crazy, and then I hear your
voice go, You've got to enjoy your life. And I'm like, yes,
I'm musked. I'm so lucky, I'm so fortunate.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Totally, we've got to find the fun and enjoyment even
when we're feeling a bit grim.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
How deep for Christmas Day, guys? We love it fun.
It was fun. So Christy's one Christmas special here at Nova.

of very quiet Christmas days. I just turn up somewhere
at the moment I've turned up here. But sometimes my

friends will tell me that they've got eight or nine stops.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Absolutely not, no, thank you. I will not be doing that.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
We're going to give Jamie a Christy Swan Show bumbag
as well.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Of course we are. We're not scroogy.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
It's the Christy Swan Christmas Special here at Nova, the
Christy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Hello you, and good on you for listening it to
the Christy Swan Christmas Special. The day is here so exciting.
I do love Christmas Day so much.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
So, I Swanny, I was hoping we'd see Santa in
the Novas studio is given it's Christmas Day, but apparently not,
and apparently not.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We're the only two chumps that work on this day. Look,
I'm going to say that almost one hundred percent of
people would have done the presents by now. I'm sure
there are a few people that do them at night
or whatever, but you know they're done and dusted, and
there are going to be some moments that occurred this
morning amid the wrapping paper in front of the tree
that will be very hard to forget because sometimes people
(25:55):
miss the mark on gifts.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
It is tough with like cousins, I find sometimes because
you don't always know them that well, and that intimately
that it's hard to buy for them.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know people say that, but what about just one
of those canisters from the supermarket of Cadbury scorched Starman's.
You can't go wrong.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I'm wouldn't be happy with that.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
We've got Claire on the line. Hello Claire, Hello Mary,
Christmas Christmas. I'm so impressed that you're talking to us generally.
You know, it's very hard to talk with that much
ham in your tummy.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
I haven't even star.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Oh good girl. Now, Claire, we're talking terrible gifts, and
you have one that I cannot believe.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Yes, I think I think after thirty two years how
they kind of hit a wall and he really pushed
the boat out this year and I got a car
air freshener.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Okay, all right. Was it one of those sort of
fancy plug in ones I called aby Purr or something,
you know, the ones that there was something that there's
a fancy one or was it just like a pine
tree that you hang off the revision mirror?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Do you know what? One of those fancy ones might
even have been really nice? But no, it wasn't. It
was actually one that you just hang off the mirror.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Oh no, was it like a custom made was it
his face or no?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
No, it wasn't custom made. It was supporting the basketball
team that we support. So he did actually have to
order it, so you know that kind of I don't know.
In a way, I'm impressed, but then also I'm thinking
if he was ordering it ahead of time, he probably
could have got something else.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So Claire, are you, like, you know, communicative enough to say.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
We're getting divorced?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Could you say I'm sorry. To think of what I
would do. I would be like, is this a joke?
But then you don't want to you don't what? And
then did you go? How did how did this happen?
Do you hate me? Get a lawyer?
Speaker 9 (28:06):
I literally I was speechless. I've got to be honest.
I was absolutely speechless. And I usually I'm pretty good
at putting on a poker face, but I was like, ah, okay, thanks.
Did he say know what else to say?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Did he say? I don't know. I I fell on
some train tracks and I've lost my memory. I don't
know who you are anymore? Like what did he say
about an air freshener?
Speaker 9 (28:36):
No, I mean he kind of just said. Look, he says,
we've kind of had enough Christmases now and we buy
what we want. So this was just like a you know,
just like a thought more than anything. But it was like, yeah, okay,
I think my kids actually probably gave me a bit
more thought than that.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
But still I feel like, I feel like, if you're
going to call time on Christmas, and I think it's absolute,
absolutely a good idea, sometimes I think that needs to
be a discussion before you open an air fresh now.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I absolutely agree.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Also, I kind of look at those air fresheners and
think they only look okay for Christmas for the month
of December because they do just look at Christmas trees
all year und in people's car.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh absolutely, but mine is I've got one of Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I bought it myself.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I like, hey, Claire, you've got one hundred dollars cash
thanks to Office Works thirteen twenty four to ten.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Imagine how many air fresheners you can get for.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
That, right, thirteen twenty four ten.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
We want to ask you on this Christmas Day, what
is the worst gift you've received? You will also receive
one hundred dollars cash thanks to Office Works. It's the
christiest one Christmas Special here over.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It could have happened this morning. You could be holding
the worst present ever.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
The Christy Swan Show.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Oh hi, we are here. Can you believe it? It
is Christmas Day and you are listening to us, And
that is the greatest gift we have ever received. It's
the Christy Swan Christmas Special. We're talking about the worst
gifts you've ever got. And we just spoke to Claire
who got an air freshener.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
From her husband of all people, and.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
It wasn't even it wasn't being funny.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
No, I do worry about their relationship.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
No I don't. I just I would worry about myself
in that situation because I don't really understand jokes like that.
I don't understand jokes and pranks, and I would think
it was a prank, but I didn't understand it. But
it wasn't a prank.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, it's confusing to be very awkward.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
We are asking what is the worst gift you've received,
and just for getting on air with us, we'll give
you one hundred bucks cash thanks to Office Works.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
So let's kick off with Chloe.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, I'm running out of different ways to say, Mary Chris.
Was that the yule tied? Chloe? Mary Chris?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
What is time?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Are you joking?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Welcome?
Speaker 10 (30:46):
I'm so stoked. Now I've got I've got a beauty.
One of my beautiful friends who I've been friends with
for a very long time, gave me a pair of
herb cust like herb scissors. Now not only do I
not cook, I don't garden.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
See this is the thing. When you said I got herbs,
I was like, oh my god, what a great present.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
For me like that.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
That is a great present for me because I do
garden and I do grow my own herbs and I
cook with them. That is perfect. In fact, I went, oh,
maybe that's good. I'll get that next year. But for you,
that is so thoughtless. Did you bring it up with her?
Did you say, oh, what's this about?
Speaker 10 (31:26):
Well, it was a bit of a novelty a joke
at the time. And then I said, oh, I said,
what do I actually use these for? And she told
me and I said, you know, I don't cook, and
you know I don't garden. And she's like, oh, I
thought you might like them still, and I said, oh, thanks,
but would you like them back?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Oh, Chloe, this is too much. And then do you
did you ever speak to her again?
Speaker 10 (31:50):
Of course, yes, she's still one of my very best friends.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I would whack them in the cupboard, Chloe and regive
them to like my grand or pop for their birthday.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yes, pay Phil, bye guys.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
J Noelle, what's the worst gift you've received? Mate?
Speaker 9 (32:08):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (32:08):
God, this was such a terrible gift. I receive peanuts
nuts for my Christmas gift.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
So did you say peanuts?
Speaker 11 (32:17):
Yeah, peanuts like a peanuts gift like one of those
music bars, like who gave you that? One of my
good mates?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That is the most unusual gift, but even more unusual because.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
I was allergic to those basically peanuts and that was
all in them.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh well, your friends trying to kill you?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, and I'll tell you I'll tell you what. And
Uncle Toby's gift back is a lot easier to get
than a loaded gun.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Hundred bucks cash thanks to office works for you, Phil, Hello.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Just center, Hello Christy?
Speaker 6 (32:49):
How you going?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I love the sound of your voice. I just love it.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Have you eaten? You?
Speaker 2 (32:54):

Where you're at?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Just sent?
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Look, Chrissy, Yeah, I am not yet, but looking very
much forward.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
To great great But wait, what is the worst gift
you've ever got? And who was it from?
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Oh, Chrissy, It was a long time ago now, is
when I first started going out with my husband and
my now husband and I got a weight loss cookbook
from my mother in law and we'd only been dating
for like this was probably only the first or second
family Christmas that I had attended that was pre kids,
(33:33):
and I yeah, actually thought I was looking all right, then.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Funny, just center. I mean, in the words of the
Great Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate today, forgive then,
so they not know, they do not know what they do.
Just center. Women born in that time thought it was
absolutely fine to say things like, oh your pet's elders, jeez,
(33:59):
you're a big girl, all that sort of stuff, and
it just made you feel like dying.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Are you close with her? Now? It's the vibe like, now.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
No, Jack, No, we're not. I thought Jack to open
a present of it.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I actually thought Jack was just going to do one
of his greatest hits there and say are you still
close with her? And you were going to say, no,
she's dead. Generally what happens to him?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
The Christy Swan Show, Hey have the yule tied?

tell you how much we love it. First of all,
are you the generally a host for Christmas Day? What's happening?
Speaker 12 (35:38):
It's sort of try and swing with the family, whatever,
whatever people want to do. I try and sort of
just make Because it's too many competing agendas at Christmas,
I find it easier to just go with the flow,
and which means sometimes, yes, I think this Christmas, it's
a little bit at our house. Last Christmas it was
(35:58):
someone else's house Christmas. So I just tend to sort
of swing with whoever's sort of, you know, deciding to
do Christmas that year. So that's what that's That's that's
where I said.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Christmas to me means a lot of prawns, which leads
to massive inflammation in my joints. But I have no regrets.
And that seventies you know, ketchup and Mayo Murray rose sauce.
That's Christmas for me. What for my grant, it was
(36:30):
a trifle with about seven bottles of mcwilliam's sherry. Yep,
what is the one dish like Paul Kelly's gravy and
his dollop of tomato sauce. What is your signature dish
for Christmas?
Speaker 12 (36:43):
It's called summer pudding.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh, tell us about it?
Speaker 12 (36:46):
And summer pudding is actually one of the great culinary
dishes that has come out of England. It's a beautiful
summer fruit dish. You line a bowl with bread or
it could be panforte, could be could be panatonin, and
(37:07):
so you want to but you want bread basically, and
then you just you put black berries, black currants, red currants.
You have to get red currants and raspberries. Don't put
strawberries in don't put blueberries in wine. That's what I
do anyway, and that you like all so like red
(37:28):
wine and stew the fruit up, just half of it
with some sugar and then the rest of it's fresh
that all just sits inside the bread soaks up all
the juices. You weight it down, put it in the
fridge overnight. The next day you turn it out and
it's a It's this beautiful, ready purple dessert that you
(37:49):
cut into and have with cream or ice cream, and
it is absolutely the best. Yeah, absolutely, vanilla and just
a bit of sugar and vanilla and wine and all
that fruit and bread. It's the best thing.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Oh my, yougo, what's your drink of choice whilst you're
doing the dishes tonight on Christmas Night?
Speaker 12 (38:09):

Speaker 12 (38:32):
Santa's outfit? No? What do I wear on Christmas Day?
I don't know, very little.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
It's warm, maybe it's usually pretty warm.
Speaker 12 (38:40):
Yeah where I am I think it's hot.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I'm imagining you in one of those sort of novelty
aprons and nothing else.
