What is the half‑marathon plan that Bree and Clint are announcing to Mumma Di?

Clint Roberts 0:00

ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.

Bree Tomasel 0:03

It's our radio show, but wrapped up in a neat little package just for you.

Clint Roberts 0:07

It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.

Bree Tomasel 0:09

Welcome to the show, our long-suffering supporter, Bree's mum, Mama Di.

Clint Roberts 0:14

Hi, Mum. Hi, guys. How are you going? Yeah, good. Hey, Mum, have you got wind of any...

Bree Tomasel 0:25

Please finish. Please finish that sentence.

Clint Roberts 0:28

I beg your pardon? Well, I know you've got wind. I've heard you before. Have you got wind of any stupid plans that Clint and I have made for this Friday? Uh, yes, maybe. Have you?

Mumma Di 0:43

Yes, I have been listening.

How does Mumma Di react to the idea of a no‑training half marathon?

Mumma Di 0:46

Don't you worry about that.

Bree Tomasel 0:47

God, word travels fast, doesn't it? Because I was trying to keep this a secret from my wife so she couldn't tell me not to do it. But she happened to be listening when we were talking about it too. It's

Clint Roberts 0:57

spread far and wide.

Mumma Di 0:58

Yeah. Oh, look, and all I can say is the advice you got, I think you should really... well and truly take it on board, you are going to suffer big

Bree Tomasel 1:11

time. What Bree's mum is talking about is our plan to run a half marathon with no training this Friday. And neither

Clint Roberts 1:18

of us are runners.

Mumma Di 1:20

All I know is I got out and did the Fit and Strong with Jane Fonda, and I've done one episode, and I could hardly walk the next day.

Bree Tomasel 1:31

Jeez, were you getting the Fit and Strong with Jane Fonda? Have you got the VHS? I think she does.

Mumma Di 1:36

Just about.

Bree Tomasel 1:37

We might need that. That might get us ready for Friday, although we're not allowed to train, and I think the Fit and Strong with Jane Fonda counts as training.

What funny past “marathon” experiences does Mum share and how do they compare?

Bree Tomasel 1:44

Definitely. Di, have you ever done a half marathon before? No.

Mumma Di 1:48

Yeah, no, well, I don't know if you'd classify it as a marathon. I have walked from Stanthorpe to Warwick.

Bree Tomasel 1:59

Oh, yeah, why? When did you? Because were you too drunk to drive?

Mumma Di 2:03

That was about, it's about 70k run or 30k. That's a freaking

Clint Roberts 2:08

long

Mumma Di 2:08

way. When

Clint Roberts 2:09

did you do

Bree Tomasel 2:10

that? Why did you do that?

Mumma Di 2:11

Oh, well, I was in the Miss Apple and Grape Harvest Competition.

Bree Tomasel 2:16

So you were pissed.

Clint Roberts 2:19

Yeah,

Mumma Di 2:19

right. You

Clint Roberts 2:19

got so many cents per mile. Oh, you were raising money.

Why do Bree and Clint consider the half marathon a “idiot” challenge and how do they motivate each other?

Clint Roberts 2:25

It was for charity, was it? Yes, absolutely. Oh.

Bree Tomasel 2:29

I'm just Googling it.

Clint Roberts 2:31

How many cents to the leader did you get? Did you say, Mum? To the mile.

Bree Tomasel 2:36

Oh, gotcha. Jesus, that's 60 kilometres.

2:39

Yeah.

Mumma Di 2:40

Yeah, it was $60,000. But I think we had a few kind of, you know, charity people that pulled up in their vehicles and we'd kind of hop

Clint Roberts 2:48

in. What, so you

Mumma Di 2:49

cheated?

Clint Roberts 2:52

Well, it was for a good cause. Cheating for charity. Is that your motto, is it, Mum? Well, no, Brianna.

What concerns does Bree have about finishing the race and how does she discuss her knee?

Bree Tomasel 3:00

At least she had a cause. We don't even have a cause.

Clint Roberts 3:03

No.

Bree Tomasel 3:03

We're just doing it.

Clint Roberts 3:04

We're just doing it because we're idiots. Real question. Go for it, guys.

Bree Tomasel 3:08

Go for it.

Clint Roberts 3:09

Do you think we can do it, Mum? Absolutely.

Bree Tomasel 3:13

Do you think Bri can do it?

Clint Roberts 3:15

Yes, I think she can.

Bree Tomasel 3:16

Because I think she can too. I don't

Clint Roberts 3:19

think I can, Mum.

Bree Tomasel 3:20

She's wavering in her belief in herself, Di, which is so not Bri, is it? That's not the Bri we raised.

Mumma Di 3:26

Oh, well, I think it's a bad day to ask people about their belief after the weekend.

What backup plan does Clint suggest if Bree’s knee gives out during the race?

Mumma Di 3:32

I tell you what, I'm just about ready to... Oh,

Clint Roberts 3:34

don't get us started on the Warriors game.

Bree Tomasel 3:36

Oh, we're going to a

Clint Roberts 3:37

dark

Bree Tomasel 3:37

place.

Clint Roberts 3:39

No, genuinely, Mum, I... Like, and this is me being, like, dead serious. I truly don't know if I'm going to be able to finish the half marathon on Friday. I'll give it everything I have. I have no doubt about that. But I just, I genuinely, I just... I'm really just wavering in my belief. She's

Bree Tomasel 4:00

already faking a

Clint Roberts 4:00

knee

Bree Tomasel 4:00

injury.

Clint Roberts 4:01

No, I genuinely have tweaked my knee. I genuinely have. Or my brain is playing

Mumma Di 4:07

tricks.

Bree Tomasel 4:08

Yeah, you can walk that out.

Mumma Di 4:09

You can walk that out. You can walk

Clint Roberts 4:11

that out.

Mumma Di 4:11

Walk it out. All I can say is if your knee gets too bad, just jump on Clint's back.

How long do they estimate the half marathon will take and what timing strategy do they plan?

Mumma Di 4:17

Yeah. That'd be the

Bree Tomasel 4:19

way to go. See,

Mumma Di 4:19

now that's good advice.

Bree Tomasel 4:20

Ride me, baby. That is good advice. Di, we might need to call on you in the depths of, I'm imagining in the 15 to 21 kilometre zone for a bit of a motivational pep talk. Will you be available on Friday to take a call from us?

Mumma Di 4:34

Absolutely, I will be.

Bree Tomasel 4:36

And I'm

Mumma Di 4:36

just so glad I'm not, I'm not going to put my house on it for you guys to do it, but I reckon you will. How

Clint Roberts 4:44

long do you reckon it'll take

Mumma Di 4:45

us, Mum?

Bree Tomasel 4:46

Yeah, we've got four hours.
