1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: SITSI and with Kate Ritchie podcast.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: I want to talk about irrational fears. There's this video

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: floating around. Some guy uploaded it where he was at

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: a water park, and it brought all of these people

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: out of the woodwork about their irrational fears of water slides.

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: And now as I'm even talking about the story, I

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: realize I have a bit of an irrational fear about

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: water slides, but not the one that everyone was relating to.

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: This guy comes down the water slide, gets stuck halfway.

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: The water's like rushing, you know, rushing past him. He

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: can't move. Obviously, he thinks he's going to drown or

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: he's going to lose his cauzes or his bathers. Luckily,

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: the attendant is there to rescue him and everything's fine.

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: But it's funny how something so basic like getting stuck

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: in a water slide can absolutely freak you out. I

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: think some people won't even get in them because they

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: get a bit claustrophobic.

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: They are the tunnels, Well, there's now there's some raging

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: water has some as well where it's completely black, you

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: can't see anything at all. Oh, really, you go down,

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 1: there's a lot of water slides that are completely blacked

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: out and there's no light in them at all. You

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: don't even know where you're going. I get.

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: I get weird about water slides. I mean, I don't

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: go on them anyway because I'm completely just so self.

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Conscious because causees go up your clacker, your part.

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: I would have to wear a full like wet suit,

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: not only in case I didn't want to lose my

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: bathers up, but I also have a bit of an

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: irrational fear now that I'm talking about it, about worrying

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: that I'm going to get caught on And I've never

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: been down a slide, but don't they have nuts and

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: bolts and things like that. Okay, I've got like a

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: horror movie vision in my head that I might be sliced.

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Well, see what kate. That is interesting because in where

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: I grew up, there was a huge it looks like

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: a giant poo but it was called Magic Mountain, right.

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: This was in South Australia, and it was a water

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: slide car and there was a rumor and this really

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: it really stung their business because kids were so freaked out.

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: The whisper was that people were sticking razor blades down

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: the slide as you went down it, and it freaked

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: all the kids out who lived in the area, and

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: no one would go there for months and months.

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, as it would freak you out. I've got an

46
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: irrational fear where I think, and I know it's the

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: bridge that goes over the Nepean down south and it's

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: really really really high. And I don't know if anyone

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: else has this, but when you're driving the car and

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: you're going over maybe a high bridge or somewhat narrow bridge,

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: and all I can think of is hold the steering

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: wheel really tight because I think you're going to drive

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: over the edge. What not that I don't worry about me.

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: I'm fine everyone. I'm actually quite a good Okay, maybe

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: I'm not a great driver, but I'm an excellent parker.

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: So but you honestly, what I feel, well.

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: I feel like my body is out of my control

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: or something, and I think something's going to happen where

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: at this exact moment, I'm going to drive over the

60
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: edge of the breeze.

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Isn't there a spot in New CLIs as well where

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: they say a young girl was murdered And every time

63
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: there's been numerous people that say that they've driven past

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: this area and in the back seat it's only at

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: nightcak in the back seat, this girl in the car

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: appears in the back of your car. You look in

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: your rear view mirror and you can see it quickly,

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: and then you look back and there's nobody there. Really

69
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: that it's on the Wakehurst Parkway.

70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: Guard that is up on the northern beach.

71
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: We've done it before. A lot of people have called in.

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: You'd have an irrational fear going past that one. If

73
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: you've heard about that before.

74
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: Well, it gets quite foggy in there. I think the

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: fog sits deep in there, in amongst all of them

76
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: the trees. But you would also you do is you'd

77
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: be driving along the Waitcast Parkway thinking, don't look in

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: the revision mirror, don't look in the revision mirror.

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I have an irrational fear. I used to work with

80
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: this guy, right, and then he went over to a

81
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: wedding over in Paris, and I had this irrational fear

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: that he would come back and work with me one day.

83
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: That's the same guys.

84
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: It's too emotional now because I'm thinking that he might

85
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: come back to work at some stage he was a

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: horrible man. Vincy and Weafer with Kate Ritchie is a
