What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast.
Ellie Harwood, ex-producer of the show, but now a fully-fledged member. Woo! Hello, everyone. Mike, you weren't a fully-fledged member when you worked here. What do you mean? You were the glue that held this show together. Thank you so much. But now I've got my mouth around the mic. Woo!
The microphone.
Hello there. Hey, one thing about me is I love video games. You and I both are quite into our video games. We are. What's your favourite video game, Brie? Do you have one? I would say The Last of Us is definitely up there for me.
But I
definitely got into... I definitely had my Fortnite era... Same, actually. Yeah. And I got a couple of dubs. That's a win, if you don't know. But then I realised that the first few games they put you in with bots, and so apparently it's really easy to win
those
games. But I thought I'd genuinely come in and just, like, smash everyone out of the park.
So it was
really humbling. But there is a Scottish grandmother who is 78 years old, and she has been officially named the world's oldest female Fortnite streamer by the Guinness World Records. Maybe you were playing her.
Yeah.
No, you know what? She would smash me, I think.
Yeah, right. That's
incredible. Amazing. I'll just play some audio of
her here. Oh, here we go. There it is. I'm not just a granny. I'm a record-breaking Fortnite streamer. I happen to say to my grandson, Lewis, I think, Lewis, that I'm going to actually start streaming. And, you know, it wasn't important whether I was a success or not. It was just this challenge and being able to do it.
That's, who is this? That's Mrs. Doubtfire. It is, hey. I know what Mrs. Doubtfire sounds like. And help is on the way here. Help is on the way here. That was Mrs. Doubtfire. Her name is actually Grumpy Grand 1948. That's the
game attack she
goes by. I know. And so she's actually had the Guinness World Records come over and verify her as the oldest. So there's actually a gamers edition of the Guinness World Records. Did you know that? No. I didn't either. But next year there's a gamers edition.
What is the Guinness World Record for the oldest female Fortnite streamer?
So it's going to have all sorts of records in it and stuff. Okay. But she's got 24,000 followers that come and watch her. So is she on Twitch? Yeah, yeah. She's streaming away, streaming that fortnight. Loves it. And so it got me thinking, like, what other older people... doing that's potentially against the grain or something that's like not many other older people are doing it. Yeah. Do you have any grandparent stories? I mean, my nan mostly just smoked darts and drank tea.
How did the Scottish grandma become a record‑breaking Fortnite streamer?
So she was more like the cliche. Nice.
Yeah. What about
your grandparents? My grandma... She lied about her age until she passed.
Did she actually? She
loved to just pretend she was younger than she was. Bless her. Good on her. And to be honest, she kept herself in good nick. She was beautiful right to the end. How old was she, you think? And how old did she used to say that she was? So I think she was 47 for about 30 years. That was her primo
age. That was
her, yeah. And then my other nana, she was really intellectual and lots of reading.
Yeah. Did a lot
of like art deco tours and Napier and stuff. But no video games for either of them. Not at all. Yeah, right. Weren't into the video. I remember I got my nan, she just had surgery because she had bowel cancer. Sorry to bring down the mood. She survived. She beat it.
So good
on her. And she couldn't do much at the time. And I remember I got the old Wii out. Oh, my goodness. The gaming console.
That's inappropriate.
The gaming console. And I was like, Nan, you should play a bit of the Wii. It'll be a bit of fun. And I set it up at her unit and I set her up with the bowling one because that was always quite a good one.
Yeah.
Quite fun, quite easy to kind of pick up. Yeah. And I'll never forget... I set this up for her and maybe a day or two later, I went over to visit her to see how she was going and she couldn't lift her arm because she'd played so much of it. And she'd hurt herself because she'd played so much and her arm was exhausted from flicking the Wii remote to try and do the Wii bowling.
