There’s that phrase “like mother, like daughter”. Then there’s Brodie and Jo Kane. When the Weekly Zooms through to have a chat to the mile-a-minute pair, they’re in the middle of a rollicking conversation around Brodie’s recent elimination from TV show The Traitors NZ.
“You don’t watch enough reality TV,” admonishes Jo. “You could have been a bit more subtle, you know.” Turning to face the screen, Jo sighs, “I thought she would have been better at The Traitors with the things she got up to in her teenage years!”
“I shot my shot too early,” shrugs Brodie. “Those bloody boys!”
While that might be the first time the words “subtle” and “Brodie” have been used in the same sentence for a while (“very true,” nods Brodie), the mum-and-daughter double act is a delightful one as they reel off their shared to-do list around selling the family home in Waikuku Beach, in preparation for Jo to move up to Auckland.
It’s the start of a new chapter for both Brodie, 37, and Jo, 68, who can’t wait to live in the same city again and, as Jo says, it’s time for a big change after going through a later-in-life separation from Brodie’s dad.
“This is my saying at the moment: ‘If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you always got.’ Now I want to do my OE. I want to spend time with my grandkids – my son’s kids. There’s so much I want to do and the time is now.
