I'll do it in front of my sister when she's playing Fortnite. You'll do what? Sing a song. In the lounge? Yeah, me and my boyfriend. What? You and your boyfriend are what? No, just the other day.

Okay, three, two, one. All I want for a kiss, my love heart is you. Courtney, is that you? Claudia. I'm happy with that. Happy with that. That was pretty good. I had to.

No, but you love singing. Not like that. That was bad. No, I'm not doing it. I'm refusing. A chant always helps. Claudia. Claudia. I will not be always helps. Claudia. Claudia.

I will not be swayed. Claudia. Why not, Claudia? Because my greatest fear is singing in front of people. Well, you tackle that fear. Wait, second only to being lifted by people. Oh, okay. I hate being lifted.

How about I lift you up and you sing? That sounds like hell. Why is your biggest fear being lifted up? I don't know. I'm not scared of heights it's a lack of control is it to do with the fact that you're not in control maybe i'm scared because i know that i'm real heavy so yeah that's part of it i'm always like please don't leave me please we for our christmas photo shoot which is coming out soon you put me on your back like piggyback

and i hated that they were like i put my back at my last job we did this thing where we all for fun joined a chair group and like cheerleading i think we're like a chair group like you bring your own chair or something oh that sounds like fun but i was like the smallest person in the team so they're like cool you're the one we're gonna let and i was like what excuse me and they literally threw me in the air like i felt like i was about 20 meters up and it was probably like one or two but it was just hell oh no oh that's awful you guys got any fears oh god oh what are your fears oh yeah failure oh okay i knew someone who was scared of butterflies oh i don't love them like they're pretty but i've they've the wings. Anything with wings. Oh, they're delicate. Red Bull. You're terrified of Red Bull, eh? Of who?

Red Bull. Did you see my brain slowly go? That was a good one. Got it. Red Bull gives you wings and I'm scared. Oh. It's not as funny when you have to explain the joke, is it? That was very clever.

Oh, thank you. Yeah, thank you. I'll take it. No, I hate things with wings. I'm scared of heights, but also scared of fans. Oh, thank you. Yeah, thank you. I'll take it. No, I hate things with wings. I'm scared of heights, but also scared of fans. Like, like, like. I hate those.

I hate those. Really? Yeah, because I don't like repetitive movement. Claudia and I bond over this. We hate, like, moving things. I hate repetitive sounds. Yes, same. Same. I deal with a clock.

A clock? Terrified. Don't want to sleep with a ticking clock. No. At my, when i was doing my math exam one i already hate exams i'll cry just because but they have a ticking clock there oh i hate that couldn't do it wait so you're saying you don't like repetitive movements no so fans hate it so what is it okay so what's another example of that christmas christmas lights

hate that i at um church they have like the flashing. I hate that. At church they have like the flashing Christmas tree up. Interesting. And beforehand I always go and like push the button so it's on like just the normal.

Just the normal solid light. The normal one. Yeah. That's so interesting. I've never thought about it because I've been scared of fans since

I was a kid. That's so funny. And I've never been able to figure out actually what it is. Like what is it? I'm not scared of it cutting me.

It's just more. But I actually think it's to do with repetitive movement. Yeah. yeah it freaks me out have you ever put your hand in a fan i have just to see how bad it would be and how was it terrible ceiling fan or a little like ceiling fan oh yeah ceiling fan that would hurt i just i just sometimes have these real intrusive thoughts that i can't get away from i just just have to do something. You just have to try it. I'll think about it and then I'll be like, well, I'm going to do that now. This is my moment.

We'll try it. And then I just have to do it. Yeah. Public speaking is probably my biggest fear. Oh, that's pretty bad. That's so interesting. I hate it. That's funny because people would assume that you're fine with it.

They reckon public speaking is like almost, I think it's the biggest fear in the world. You're very vulnerable. So vulnerable. It's all eyes on you. It's fine if you're in a play because you blend in. Isn't it interesting? It's my biggest fear and I'll have anxiety like weeks leading up

to when I know if I'm doing public speaking. But then afterwards, if I do do it, like push myself to do it, I feel like I've done a good job there's no better feeling that i think i can explain that i get because you're like out of your comfort zone yeah i feel like hmm maybe i'm trying to think what's like a fear i have but maybe the heights a little bit i'd kind of get that adrenaline yeah i had such a fear of wetting my pants when i was a kid oh oh yeah i think you know what it was when i was at preschool preschool yeah preschool so i would have been like four or five and i wet my pants one day and at preschool the preschool i went to you always had like when you first enrolled they'd always make your parents bring a change of

clothes just in case you know you shit yourself or you wet yourself or something. It happens. And this was in wintertime and I wet my pants and my mum had given them clothes but it was in the summertime. So I had to put like a t-shirt and shorts on and it was freezing. And I think it's like trauma in my mind where I'm just like terrified. Don't pee your pants. Don't do it. Oh, baby Bree. It was terrifying. do it. Oh, baby Brie.

It was just terrifying. Baby Brie. Oh, I need to see photos of little, like baby. I've seen high school. I've got an afro when I was a kid. What? Yeah. I forget you have curly hair.

Yeah, I just had straight afro. That's ridiculous. Stop it. Same. We weirdly look, when we were younger. We look quite similar, eh? Yeah, dimples and real ringlitty curly hair. Curly hair and similar colour hair.

Yep. Quite similar vibes. Were you a tomboy? Not so much, nah. I became more of a tomboy when I was in my teen years, but I wonder if that was more me just like fitting in and trying to find my identity. When I was younger, I was quite meek,

and Paige was a tomboy, my sister. She was hands down a tomboy. Yeah, Paige and i get along yeah you're both bloody rough and tumble yeah we're rough as guts ellie's a bit more soft yeah i'm a bit more scared of things like i used to make her on any playground we were on even though she's two and a half years younger than me i'm like five she's two and a half if there was like a beam where to walk across i'd always make her go first just to make sure that it was like i know i know we're talking about off air before how like my sister used to give me the shit end If there was like a beam we had to walk across, I'd always make her go first just to make sure that it was safe. You fucking bitch.

I know. I know. We were talking about off air before how like my sister used to give me the shit end of the stick of everything because I'm the second child so I'd have the shit bike and then I'd have the shit side of the road. Like my side of the road would be just all sandy and hers is nice and hard and then she'd be like, right, we're going to race. And then she would always win because she's older and she's got the better bike and the better side of the road.

Yeah. Like just better everything. Yeah, no, I can say that I also did that to my sister. Like it's sort of the one thing you have control over is your younger sister. I wonder if I did that because I'm the oldest. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I was quite bossy. Like quite, I don't know, you just, I'm mimicking my parents.

And so I feel like I'm the older one. You're the older one, yeah. I know better. And I look at some of my parents. And so I feel like I'm the older one. You're the older one, yeah. I know better. And I look at some of the home videos of me I cringe at. Really? Because I'm just like, no, Paige, we don't do that. Like, oh, shut up. Yeah, my mum said that me and my sister,

I would always be the one getting into trouble or, like, doing stuff. And it's because my sister encouraged me to do it. Because she would, like, I'd be the test dummy. Yeah yeah and then i'd always get hurt or like you know be jumping off things and whatever because my sister was like you go do it yeah yeah now that some siblings have a way of making it look like it was the other one yes so my my partner sam's a twin boy girl twin and he would always get in trouble for like everything but it was actually his twin sister she was like really good at puppeteering and doing naughty things but then making it look

like Sam. Yeah. And then later on a babysitter said to the parents quietly, just so you know, it's not always Sam. And they were like, oh. It was the babysitter that like picked up on it and went, nah she's naughty. She's a mastermind behind it all.

Poor Sam. He just behind it all. Yeah. Poor Sam. He just got fucked up. Oh. Oh, well, I ran a red light the other day, I think. Hey, you do. Yeah, by accident. It was a really... It was after the first show I did here,

and I must have just been, you know, on a high driving through the city like, that was so fun. And then it was a left turn where the straight lane was green. And I just was... it was the same lane. Was this just up here? Yeah, just a halsey. Just down there.

Did you see me? What, you didn't get a bike? I know. Exactly. Exactly. I think I've done that before on that one. Yeah, it's the one where the bus lane is. Yes.

I've done it a heap of times because I used to live up, you know, where I used to live. Yeah. And I was like, oh, following, following, because the bus is all in the way too, so I couldn't really see the lights. So I just thought, know, where I used to live. Yeah. And I was like, oh, following, following, because the bus is all on the way too, so I couldn't really see the lights. So I just thought, oh, they're all going straight, yeah, and I'll go left. And then as I was already halfway around the corner, I was like,

oh, my God, it's red. So I'm waiting for it to take out. I swear that block of lights probably has red camera light. What? Red light cameras. You should have seen back in COVID days when Anastasia was still producing on the show and she used to live in gray lynn and i used to pick her up for work and drop her home because she didn't have there was some reason she couldn't anyway that road like you know where i didn't

realize for ages because i'd always have to pull over into the left to go down to gray lynn and so for like oh i dropped her off and picked her up for weeks and I reckon I can't remember but I would move into the bus lane too early but I didn't realise. And so one ticket would come. And then like expensive tickets too. They're like $120, aren't they? Yeah, like expensive in New Zealand.

And then like another ticket. I think I ended up getting like five tickets. Cheaper. It then like another ticket. I think I ended up getting like five tickets. Cheaper. It was so fucking expensive. And I made Anastasia pay back every cent. I'm just kidding. I'm joking. I had an auntie that tried to do that.

She was taking my sisters out in the car, got a speeding ticket, and then tried to send it to my dad to be like, well, I was taking your kids out. Oh, no. That's not how it works, unfortunately. You're behind the wheel. You're responsible. No matter what the circumstance. my sister got fined i think i told you guys maybe but my sister was heavily pregnant this is like a few months ago and so she was so pregnant and obviously really uncomfortable and she was wearing

a seat belt under her arm which you're not meant to do but she was just so uncomfortable and she had her seat belt anyway she got pulled over by the police and they were like, is there any reason that you're wearing your seatbelt incorrectly? And she was like, yeah, I'm pregnant and whatever. And they were like, unfortunately, that's going to be a $1,200 fine today. $1,200? In Australia, yeah. Wow.

You know if you get caught on your phone, it's $1,000 straight away. That's good though. It should be there. It kind of should be there because, man, the amount of people I see on there yeah same it's wild day i've seen a cop on his phone driving oh well if they can't i think i saw that yesterday i was like stop texting oh come on man if you're the one enforcing the law what are you doing honestly some of the cops i've seen are the worst drivers like i've seen people go through red lights in a cop car and like cutting people

off yeah yeah i feel like Or not indicating on roundabouts. I just remembered I got pulled over by the cops yesterday. Eh? Yeah. So I was like driving. Yeah, I just remembered. I think it slipped my mind because I had like a tiny anxiety attack. Didn't have my wallet with me and my two dogs are in the back.

Anyway, and I was just driving to our new place because I was doing some work on the new place and literally this cop was like parked in the middle of the road. There was two of them and then they just walk out into the middle of the road and like stop you. Oh. Like there was no cones or like anything. That's random.

And then get pulled over and she just says like, have you been drinking? It was like 9.45. I got breast-tested yesterday too. Same. Yeah. 9.45. Really?

Yeah. Oh, wow. Wait, you bought all day? I did at 10.30. Yeah, 9.45 in the morning. I was like, nah, I haven't been drinking. No. When did you get done, Ella?

I'm going up Franklin Road, which is right near Ponds and Bee and like the drinking places. So you guys are on the same one. I think they're out in force at the moment. Makes sense. Fair enough. Silly season. Is everyone having boozy brunches? Yeah, exactly. Speaking of, we have to go because we're off to a boozy brunch.

Yeah, let's go for brunch, bitches. Let's go for brunch. Okay, guys, well, enjoy the podcast that Claudia has put together. They're going to be rolling out over the summer. She's put in a lot of time and effort in there just for you guys. She's done them just for you. All the best bits.
