Hello Lauren, Hello Christy. Hmmm you're deep in Christmas vibes, Lauren. You don't know how you're going to afford it this year.

Speaker 5

Oh, yes, truly correct.

Speaker 5

Funds don't go that far for Halloween unfortunately.

Speaker 6

Ah, they died.

Wait till you're saying you've killed someone. That's what I heard.

Speaker 2

You're very weary and you need to get your iron checked. There's the low iron problem around you, Lauren.

Speaker 5

Yeah, yeah, that could be me.

Speaker 2

Direct. You have a wistful expression on your face, not unlike a cocker spaniel. Probably there's something in your house that's brown and you wish that it was not brown.

Speaker 5

Oh my gosh, yes, my lounge.

Speaker 3

Oh you got lounges.

Speaker 4

Yes, brown leather and I hate them, oh god.

Speaker 2

And there's nothing you can do with brown leather.

Speaker 4

True, and I'm stuck with them for years.

Speaker 5

Was yeah, yeah maybe do you like that?

Speaker 2

Do you like the shape? Yes?

Speaker 5

In the comfy?

Speaker 3

Christmas, all right, one last year.

Speaker 2

Speaker 5

Next, we're gonna talk about this holding space for wickedly Oh.

Speaker 2

Speaker 3

Head online or in store to shop down at Price Ligne the Chrissy Swan Show.

Speaker 2

Now, as you know, I've had a couple of days off.

Speaker 3

Yes, you've not been well, very unlike me.

Speaker 2

You've worked with me, you know, every day for how long now, I nine years? How many sick days have I had?

Speaker 7

Like?

Speaker 3

Maybe four?

Speaker 2

Yeah, I had two in a row, and frankly I'm not well enough to be back at work. But we needed to talk about something and this is the reason that I'm here. Okay, we need the whole time I was sick, I was watching these this story unfold, and I'm speaking specifically about holding space for the lyrics of defying gravity. I have never wanted to talk to you more about something in my life. Are you across this viral moment? I'm not, And I was.

Speaker 3

Really busy over the last week, but usually I'm across everything, So I'm surprised.

Speaker 2

You know, we've been so excited about Wicked and we are mad for it, but very very rapidly, Arianna Grande and Cynthia and Cynthia, Arianna and Cynthia are becoming insufferable.

Speaker 7

Insufferable because if I see them make crapping on in that earnest style for one more second about a film that they start in and did not write or create, I'm going to cut a bitch.

Speaker 3

I will cut a bitch with you, right, you what I want to say to them? Gales? People have been doing this on Broadway for years, four years? Do you see them sooking it up with smallsy No, you don't exactly, So give your form in an interview and on your go.

Speaker 2

And haven't they been giving the interviews. They've been good in that way. So many interviews, and I draw your attention to one but with Tracy Cuff, but I think her name is it doesn't matter, Trace, Trace, an American woman who I believe did not come fully prepared to the interview. And you know what this is like. You sort of find yourself in the interview and you haven't done it very much much.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and you feel like a panic attack's coming.

Speaker 2

On, and then something just comes out of your mouth. Okay, keep that in mind when you hear the absolute schmaltz that occurs after this.

Speaker 8

This week, people are taking the lyrics of defining gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that.

Speaker 6

I didn't know that that was happening.

Speaker 8

I've seen it.

Speaker 6

Yeah, that's really powerful. That's why I wanted. I don't know that was happening.

Speaker 2

Can we just play it again? Okay, just play play the viral line again.

Speaker 3

That's what I wanted.

Speaker 8

This week, people are taking the lyrics of defining gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that.

Speaker 6

I didn't know that that was happening.

Speaker 1

I've seen it.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I've seen it.

Speaker 2

I've seen it.

Speaker 6

Really powerful.

Speaker 2

Yeah, but that's why I wanted. That's what she wanted.

Speaker 6

I don't know that was happening.

Speaker 2

So it is so funny the idea that people are holding space for the lyrics of defining gravity.

Speaker 3

But can you explain to me, am I missing something? What does that actually mean?

Speaker 2

So what that actually means? It's corny speak for they are really listening to the lyrics I'm defining gravity blah blah blah. They're identifying with it, and they're just letting those lyrics sit with them long enough to really affect change in their own lives.

Speaker 3

I mean, they are redefining the word cringe on this press trail, like what is happening to people?

Speaker 2

But what I love about this is that the sense of humor is absolutely universal because everybody is using this on the bottom of their business emails. I'm sorry, I can't get back to you right now. I'm holding space for the lyrics of defining gravity. Bratt has been you know, that's all been redesigned with those words. I mean, the options are endless. How you can Yeah, and I just think we just use it now in everyday please language. Yeah,

let's start while while we are slamming these two. Can we please also enjoy a piece of cheesy audio.

Speaker 3

Yes, this is my favorite. Wait is it the one that where we both love?

Speaker 6

Yes.

Speaker 9

So.

Speaker 3

The interviewer in this case, her name was Darcy Edkins. It was the first time she'd done a junket interview, and she told the women, so, a.

Speaker 2

Junket interview, in case you don't know, it's where the stars sort of stay in one spot. It's like getting a photo with Santa. They stay in one spot and the interviewer moves in and out.

Speaker 3

In and out. And this woman at the end, at the end of the interview says, this is the first time I've done one of these junket interviews, which was really lovely. But listen to their response.

Speaker 6

The later today were such a will, such light into the room.

Speaker 2

Speaker 1

Chrissy Swan show.

Speaker 2

Let's go click.

Speaker 1

A Chrissy's Click.

Speaker 2

You know vand Pump Rules. The cast has become such a massive star stars they have, but it's easy to forget how they started. You had to remind me that they were just staff members at her restaurant.

Speaker 3

Literally, just want to be actors and actresses at sir. And then they were lucky enough to be working there when Lisa van der Pump put the cameras up, and then they became these massive stars. And if you don't watch vander Pump Rules, you would have heard of stand of Old Yes, and that comes from that show.

Speaker 2

Well that's where I made my entree into vander Punt Rules. But I mean, how do you feel about this? The entire cast has been scrapped. Everyone that you know and love gone, and she's going. Lisa vander Pump is the only remaining one. She's the Star shows and she's going back to the drawing board, going back to the kitchen and the way to start.

Speaker 3

Look, I'm sad because I loved the characters, but this needed to happen. Like the scandal Oal brought the show, There's nowhere else you could have gone with those characters.

Speaker 2

It came to an end, and they must be very happy with the way things went.

Speaker 3

Yes, yeah, I think some of them would probably be sad at the idea of not being on a show anymore. But a few of them swanny and this is for proper fans. There's a spin off already from vander Park Cross Rules called The Valley, and that's already sort of been going for a season. A few of them, so La La, Sheena and Tom Schwartz, they're going to move on to the Valley.

Speaker 2

Every time Lala is referred to, I just see one of the Telly Tubbies La La. Yeah, yeah, one of the Telly Tubbies is Lala. I think what's the Telly Tubby doing there?

Speaker 3

And our favorite James Kennedy, who gave us this quote, poop poo head both of you. Can you believe that he said that a grown man out of reunion, he'll be no longer sad.

Speaker 2

So he's gone as the end the end of JA and he doesn't have enough of star power to turn into something else.

Speaker 3

No, I think he'll just keep being a DJ trying to be a DJ. But yeah, that's about it. Hayes Wannie. I'm hijacking this final clickbait story because in a sweeping statement segment not long ago, you said that there's nothing you hate more than a riddle. Oh I hate So when I came across this headline this.

Speaker 2

Morning, I was like, no, you know that I'm low energy.

Speaker 3

I'm saving it from you, and I'm going to deliver this to you. The headline is baffling, riddle leaves people stumped, but the solution is right in front of you. So I'm going to deliver the riddle to you and see whether you can get it. The riddle is, there's a woman in a boat on a lake wearing a coat. If you want to know her name, it's in the riddle. I just wrote again, there's a woman in a boat on a lake wearing a coat. If you want to know her name, it's in the riddle. I just wrote.

Speaker 2

I hate you and I hate this.

Speaker 3

Like the answer is so annoying. Do you want to have one guess or no? No. There's a woman in a boat on a lake time. If you want to know her name, it's in the riddle. I just wrote her name. The answer to the riddle is Teresa. If you look at the first two words of the riddle and push them together, you get the woman's name, Teresa, albeit pronounced differently to theirs are.

Speaker 2

Oh god, if I had some buttons and I could turn you off.

Speaker 1

Oh no. In fact, if your restaurant has a television in it, I will dine anywhere else. I will dine from a skip.

Speaker 3

No, yep, what about Okay, I understand a sports bar, but what about like my second home, for example, the Erica, a beautiful pub here in Melbourne. They have TVs. But they're nice TVs. They're not overbearing like you don't. They don't take away from.

Speaker 2

The I don't like a television in an establishment.

Speaker 3

Wow, you're not a pub gal then.

Speaker 2

No, not really No, I find it deeply depressing.

Speaker 3

I can't believe I didn't know this about.

Speaker 2

And they've normally got like greyhound races on them, which is equally depressed.

Speaker 3

I mean, when the greyhounds come on, you know it's time to go home. Let me tell you.

Speaker 2

Anyway, this girl, no judgment, was eating at a sports bar and one of the restaurant managers asked me to be in a photo shoot for social media. That's not really being scattered, is it. Anyway? They offered me and my husband a free meal and free drinks, and I said Okay, we wouldn't.

Speaker 3

You if you're trying to be a model.

Speaker 2

No, the husband was upset. What doesn't look good for me professionally, he says.

Speaker 3

If she's modeling.

Speaker 2

Yeah, well, they took a photo of her holding two glasses of beer and then one of their servers holding me hold her in the air.

Speaker 3

What kind of scouting? What are they scouting for?

Speaker 2

Post was Christmas themed? So she's holding two beers in her hand, and then two of the servers from the pub are holding her over their shoulders. And he was dressed as Santa.

Speaker 3

Okay, so now we're not scouting for models here, we're scouting for like a sports bet campaign.

Speaker 2

Well, I think we're just scouting for Christmas steak and chip snut on a Friday night on one of those rolling things on the table.

Speaker 3

I was at the races about seven or eight years ago with a very good friend of mine who used to work here at Nover. I won't say her name, but you know who I'm talking about it, yes, And we were walking through and a woman came up to her and tried to scout her. She was gorgeous, still he's gorgeous, and she sort of had a little bit of small talk and a bit of banter, and she goes, anyway, I work for a plus sized model company called X y Z. We want to see if you'd like to come in into a shoot.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 3

And my friend was sort of taken aback because I I personally, because.

Speaker 2

The word plus size is demonized by everybody.

Speaker 3

But to put it in your pitch, maybe just say we want to scout you for a modeling campaign. To say it to her in front of people.

Speaker 2

That anything bigger than a size ten is plus size Jack, this is what it's like to be a woman.

Speaker 3

But I just think to do it in front of other people, just say, why don't just say modeling company? Oh?

Speaker 2

Is plus size a dirty word? Is it? No? But you can only say it in front of friends or privately.

Speaker 3

But this person was not Maybe I think she was a size ten.

Speaker 2

She's not a size ten?

Speaker 3

Okay?

Speaker 2

Can I tell you I was scouted stop restaurant. Yeah, so when I was fifteen young, I was out for dinner with my family and it was when plus size modeling had just become a thing. Okay, I would have been sixteen, okay, late eighties and a woman I can't remember her name approached me and said, you know, he's my car. Do you want to you know, do you want to do it? And I did do it when in my teen years, while my friends were, you know, busy flipping burgers at macas you were modeling, I was.

I was looking over my glasses on a bike in the botanical gardens, making one hundred dollars an hour.

Speaker 3

I pic. I want to see those photos.

Speaker 2

They are so bad. Chrissy Swan show And have you ever been scouted at a restaurant? Or where are some other popular places people get scouted? Right? Clubs?

Speaker 3

Yeah? Or I feel like often at public events or at like corporate events because there's different people there.

Speaker 2

And people come up to you with a card and they say, hey, you never thought about modeling? And you go, oh, you're gonna take me away and kill me. I've watched way too many true crime.

Speaker 3

Yeah, you're like Wendy Williams with the Killer. Oh it's the Killer. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2

Four ten. Have you ever been scouted? Hi, Michelle, Hey, Hey, what happened to your daughter?

Speaker 9

I was shopping as Annomen at Chadston and I get out of the city room and this woman is sitting there talking to her. I was standing there talking to her, and I thought it was going to be a scam, and she was telling me, I'm a model agent, scout, I'm really interesting your daughter coming in and doing some photos for us. And anyway, we end up following up and she got work out of it, like quite a bit of work.

Speaker 2

Isn't that great?

Speaker 3

That's awesome?

Speaker 9

With all of money too for a teenager.

Speaker 2

Oh my god, the hourly rate was ridiculous. Yeah, And what did your daughter? What was the conversation like on the way home.

Speaker 9

I was just asking her if if she thought it was a scam, I really did, but if she wanted to do it, and she was pretty excited about it. Actually, it's kind of like every teenage girls dream, isn't it.

Speaker 2

Yeah? Because imagine how many like beers you've got a port to earn the same amount of money is.

Speaker 3

That I was earning like nine dollars twenty at subway or a general pants is a curee?

Speaker 2

How much is it per hour for a model? There'd be one hundred and fifty bucks, wouldn't it. No.

Speaker 9

I don't know about the hourly rate. It depends on the job. I think because she did some work where it was the day thing and it was like over a thousand bucks.

Speaker 2

That's crazy.

Speaker 3

Imagine that Priceline farmacy voucher for you. Michelle.

Speaker 4

Hi back, Oh hello, Hi?

Speaker 2

What happened to you? Where were you scouted?

Speaker 4

Okay, it wasn't to actually be a model. It was actually to be a door bitch or nightclub in town. This is going back in the It would have been late nineteen eighty, so it was a long time ago.

Speaker 2

So what does this say about your attitude?

Speaker 3

Back?

Speaker 9

Oh, I love it.

Speaker 4

No, I look back now, and you're oh god, we would. I would look at somebody if I didn't like his shirt or I didn't like her dress. I was terrible, like, no, you're not coming in, and I just think, oh my god, I will shut.

Speaker 2

A b that is Jack's job.

Speaker 4

No, I look back down and oh my god, I should.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and then beg Did people beg you, like, oh come on please?

Speaker 8

Speaker 4

Yeah, yes they will, but you just you just say stand in the line that you just wouldn't let them in, can you? Then eventually they.

Speaker 5

Speaker 3

Like that.

Speaker 2

I can't I mean, I can't think I never left the house.

Speaker 3

Then pharmacy voucher for you back. That's fun though. Being scouted as a door bitch is fine.

Speaker 2

Wouldn't you love that.

Speaker 3

I'm really good friends with like the club I go to Electric Jane who runs the door, I'm mate with her, and I'm like, I like that coat tonight. It's given. You're not getting in. Let's finish with Jess. What you scouted to do.

Speaker 5

It's probably the most insulting modeling job you can do. But it was hand modeling.

Speaker 2

Where did somebody see your hand?

Speaker 5

I was a meeting with my father and I think I might have been picking my nose or something. But anyway, I was recruited and I was in commercials like for Gillette and stuff where I was rubbing guys' faces. Yeah, because it was so smooth while I was not shown my face and I was like, just how sun see.

Speaker 2

I don't think that that is that's a terrible thing. I think a beautiful set of hands is a wonderful thing.

Speaker 3

Take that back, Jess. That's a massive compliment. I appreciate good hands and good price like pharmacy voucher for you, Jess.

Speaker 1

The Chrissy Swan Show, Let's do this Chrissy's cliche.

Speaker 2

Ballet. Wendy Williams. I don't get too sad. She hasn't passed away. Wendy Williams. We're all dying, aren't we.

Speaker 3

We are.

Speaker 2

Wendy Williams is just an iconic American radio broadcaster and television host.

Speaker 3

The Wendy Williams Show was one of my favorite things to watch on YouTube when I was a teenager.

Speaker 2

She's just icon. She is the moment, and unfortunately she's been unwell for a long time and isn't getting better, And now we're never going to hear from her again, which we're sad about because we bloody love her and love her. You would know our obsession with Wendy Williams really started in earnest for me when she was dressed up as a statue of liberty and she got wonky and passed out. Yeah, but then she went on to do such other iconic things as but burping and farting at the same time.

Speaker 3

It's just a matter of time. She's not lonely. Good apologize, I apologize.

Speaker 2

That is the funniest.

Speaker 3

It's so funny.

Speaker 2

We just watched a great best of montage. It's the one thing that you and I could watch for hours.

Speaker 3

And still laugh. My favorite thing outside of the fainting is the way she would miss pronounce and misname singer.

Speaker 2

She always got the wrong artist.

Speaker 3

That singer Adriana Grande.

Speaker 2

She took my breath away.

Speaker 6

And Meghan the Trainer is another one going through it.

Speaker 3

See Megan, she's twenty five now, but she was only twenty when she signed her first I mean Megan Meghan.

Speaker 1

Huh, her name's yeah, you call.

Speaker 2

Her Dula Peper dulla people, I'm sorry, Doula Peeper. There was a real sneaky one at the front there, Adriana, one of our favorites.

Speaker 3

I didn't realize she actually hard until this has come out today that she actually had dementia.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and she's not that old.

Speaker 3

No, I think she's around she's sixty. That's really really the word that permanently incapacitated are awful, awful.

Speaker 2

And you know, remember there was that documentary that we saw was being made.

Speaker 3

I watched that and it was like, it's just too sad. Yeah, too sad. People around her just trying to make a buck yuck, and it was yet awful to.

Speaker 2

What So just remember her as she was correct. Now we're going to we're going to round out the show talking about Wicked again. Arianna and Cynthia ra A Revo were paid the same amount. There's been a lot of rumors going on that Arianna got paid more. That is absolutely not true. A Universal spokesperson says reports of pay disparity between Cynthia and Ariana are completely false and based

on internet bodder. The women received equal pay for their work on Wicked, and I'm just going to take that and I'm going to add it accepting to the lyrics of Wicked, of defying gravity, which I'm just going to hold space or today it.

Speaker 3

Makes me cringe so bad, and it's going.

Speaker 2

To hold space for it.

Speaker 3

If you don't know what we're talking about there, jump on the Nova player up and listen to our podcast from today.

Speaker 2

You are going to be sick at the earnest cheesiness of this theme.

Speaker 3

I wonder what Joel Creasy thinks of it because he's such a wicked stand.

Speaker 2

Oh, he will definitely be holding space for the lyrics of defying gravity.

Speaker 3

Speaking of that regulates him and Joe next, have a beautiful night.
