Our Taylor Swift Paintball Competition Was The Fight Of All Fights

Yesterday we hosted over 20 listeners to fight it out to win tickets to see Taylor Swift in Sydney at Die Hard Indoor Paintball. The task was set, all listeners must hide and run from Kate Ritchie as she hunted them down in the arena – whoever was the last Swiftie standing unscathed from Kate’s paintball gun won the tickets. Hear the full experience here!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the fits In with Her with Kate Richie podcast.
We followed her flight, we know she has landed in Melbourne. Finally,
Taylor has been closer to us than ever before. And
we know how mad this has become. And I don't
want you to think this is an abuse of power.
We had a great idea here on the show. I mean,
the tickets are the hottest thing in town. We know that,
so we put a call out of the listeners who

(00:21):
were desperate to win tickets on Valentine's Day. This is
a special day yesterday, and we've all heard the reaction
when we give away tickets on this show. Oh it's
so long, Oh my god, the tears, the screaming, it
does not stop. So we had lined up twenty people
to do whatever it takes.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, you didn't send them to Pitt Street Mall, like
when I said I'd do anything to sell your book
for Valentine's Dack.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
No we didn't. We spared them. They had another task
to take on. Now this is exciting, Kate, because we
drove out there yesterday and you were blindfolded, so you
didn't know where we were going.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I thought we were going for seafood. Lingueni somewhere taking
the team for lunch.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, table for two and twenty people on side, so
Kate was blindfolded. And then we finally revealed the moment
where you realize that we'd arrived. A goods this Fitzy
A die hard indoor paintball great? Alright, have you done
paintball before? Fits? I love it. I love it. I'm
hopeless at it, but it's so good. This was the

(01:18):
same place we went to where we had Tommy ask
answer a series of questions like what day did your
sister get married? And if you got the answer or
you had to run fitted do.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know what? The version of paintball we played yesterday though,
was the best ever because when I was explaining it
to people or my daughter at the dinner table last night,
she said, so, how did you go? Did you win?
I said, well, I was always going to win because
I was the only shooter.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, you were the only shooter. So there was one rule.
If you got hit by Kate, you were out last
person standing. When a double past Taylor Swift. What a
great game. Anyway, this is help have a listen. Okay,
we're going to go through this doorway here to watch
your head. That's a spider. It's not a spider. Hey, Regnie,

Welcome to paintpal. I can't believe you're doing this. How
far anybody would go for Taylor Swift? Tickets? Where about

hear my breathing in my because I started to take
it very seriously. When the guy was hiding under the
muss and I was creeping off of us.
