0:00:05.921 --> 0:00:25.121
<v Speaker 1>Apod Shape Production. Welcome back to another episode of am

0:00:25.161 --> 0:00:29.921
<v Speaker 1>I A Bad Mom? Podcast? We cover all types of

0:00:29.961 --> 0:00:34.001
<v Speaker 1>topics on this podcast, don't we Yeah, we we have

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.921
<v Speaker 1>a laugh because the people that we surround ourselves with,

0:00:38.521 --> 0:00:40.681
<v Speaker 1>when telling them about this podcast, you're going to be

0:00:40.721 --> 0:00:44.761
<v Speaker 1>almost cautious about whether they do or don't have children. So,

0:00:44.961 --> 0:00:47.081
<v Speaker 1>for instance, there was a couple of people that are like, wow,

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.641
<v Speaker 1>you've got a podcast. What is it called? I was like,

0:00:49.681 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>am I A Bad Mum? I was like, but you're

0:00:51.241 --> 0:00:53.401
<v Speaker 1>not a parent yet, so don't listen to it. You

0:00:53.521 --> 0:00:56.641
<v Speaker 1>might choose, we might sort of you know, shift up

0:00:56.681 --> 0:01:01.161
<v Speaker 1>how you choose about this. We're still encouraging everyone to

0:01:01.161 --> 0:01:16.441
<v Speaker 1>have children. Am I a Bad Mum? For cramping their style?

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.761
<v Speaker 1>On the weekend, I decided let's go to a tree

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>top challenge. I love the tree top.

0:01:24.721 --> 0:01:28.561
<v Speaker 2>We've spoken about tree before and just FAYI like, they

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:29.641
<v Speaker 2>don't sponsor the podcast.

0:01:29.721 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>They should know they should. This was the second time

0:01:34.241 --> 0:01:36.881
<v Speaker 1>that my girls and I had done it.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:43.321
<v Speaker 2>So you go high and then it's like ziplining, yea ziplining.

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>You zip line in and then you get to a

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.481
<v Speaker 1>certain point and then you've got They call them games

0:01:48.881 --> 0:01:51.801
<v Speaker 1>but it's like little challenges to get from one side

0:01:51.881 --> 0:01:54.321
<v Speaker 1>to the other. You're basically up high. You're up on

0:01:54.401 --> 0:01:54.921
<v Speaker 1>the trees.

0:01:55.161 --> 0:01:58.361
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you gotta harness on and then things like like

0:01:58.441 --> 0:01:59.601
<v Speaker 2>you might have to walk.

0:01:59.401 --> 0:02:02.281
<v Speaker 1>Across on just a one rope rope, yeah, and then

0:02:02.281 --> 0:02:04.601
<v Speaker 1>another one's like a black net that you kind of

0:02:04.681 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>climb i mean through. It's fun. Yeah, And so they

0:02:08.561 --> 0:02:11.521
<v Speaker 1>have stages where you so there's like you've got to

0:02:11.561 --> 0:02:15.081
<v Speaker 1>go through there green, then the purple, and then to

0:02:15.121 --> 0:02:16.361
<v Speaker 1>be able to go to the red, you've got to

0:02:16.401 --> 0:02:18.681
<v Speaker 1>be able to finish the purple and then get red

0:02:18.761 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to blue, blue to the black one. We're just to

0:02:21.601 --> 0:02:25.481
<v Speaker 1>smidge of height away from being able to do the

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.481
<v Speaker 1>black one. But we were able to step up and

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.681
<v Speaker 1>do the blue course this time, which was awesome, but

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:35.201
<v Speaker 1>three and a half hours flew by. It's exercise too. Yeah,

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's all of those look when we started though,

0:02:38.161 --> 0:02:41.201
<v Speaker 1>going back to cramping their style. When we started, we

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>got there on the very first one, so the nine

0:02:43.281 --> 0:02:45.521
<v Speaker 1>o'clock session, so no one was sort of in front

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.001
<v Speaker 1>of us. We're in the first group. As we get

0:02:48.001 --> 0:02:51.761
<v Speaker 1>there into the first group, there's another little girl who

0:02:51.921 --> 0:02:55.961
<v Speaker 1>is seven years of age and sweet as a button.

0:02:56.401 --> 0:02:58.481
<v Speaker 1>But mom and dad were letting her just go on

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the course alone and then just going to walk along

0:03:02.081 --> 0:03:05.081
<v Speaker 1>underneath it and then just let her sort of do

0:03:05.201 --> 0:03:07.041
<v Speaker 1>her own thing. Now this, Katie, where do we say

0:03:07.041 --> 0:03:09.041
<v Speaker 1>we're hooked up? Like you're hooked up, but you've also

0:03:09.121 --> 0:03:11.641
<v Speaker 1>got to what are those things called? Like, you've got

0:03:11.641 --> 0:03:13.761
<v Speaker 1>to connect yourself all the way along. You've got a

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.481
<v Speaker 1>pulley thing that you've got to connect yourself. You've got

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.801
<v Speaker 1>to these other things that you've got to put together

0:03:18.841 --> 0:03:21.241
<v Speaker 1>and slide up to be able to it's so safe.

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>It's difficult for a seven year old by herself. That's tough, right,

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.161
<v Speaker 1>So then my heart strings pull and I go, why

0:03:29.161 --> 0:03:31.961
<v Speaker 1>don't you just join our little group before? Come on

0:03:32.121 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and then go in between the girls. They've only done

0:03:34.441 --> 0:03:36.361
<v Speaker 1>it once before, but at least they can help you.

0:03:36.441 --> 0:03:39.201
<v Speaker 1>And Mum goes, oh, thank you very much. She's like,

0:03:39.281 --> 0:03:41.521
<v Speaker 1>I'm way too scared of heights, so I'm not going

0:03:41.601 --> 0:03:44.001
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Dad goes, I'm overweight, so I'm not

0:03:44.081 --> 0:03:47.721
<v Speaker 1>doing it. I was like, you're welcome. I'm giving you

0:03:47.761 --> 0:03:53.361
<v Speaker 1>three hours of babysitting. Anyway, here I am with now

0:03:53.441 --> 0:03:54.121
<v Speaker 1>three children.

0:03:54.241 --> 0:03:56.401
<v Speaker 2>The thing is is if a child gets stuck up

0:03:56.481 --> 0:03:59.041
<v Speaker 2>there on one of the courses, it holds up everybody

0:03:59.081 --> 0:04:02.321
<v Speaker 2>else because you're not allowed to move from the platform

0:04:02.441 --> 0:04:03.521
<v Speaker 2>onto the obstacle.

0:04:03.561 --> 0:04:06.521
<v Speaker 1>You can't there's no way of overtaking anyone. It's impossible.

0:04:06.761 --> 0:04:09.321
<v Speaker 1>I used to just wait. She was so sweet, but

0:04:09.361 --> 0:04:13.401
<v Speaker 1>at the same time I was like, and so then move.

0:04:14.801 --> 0:04:19.041
<v Speaker 1>So Uncle Luke's taken off and Gracie's taken off, and

0:04:19.041 --> 0:04:23.001
<v Speaker 1>Elsie's feeling the pool between both of so then Elsa's

0:04:23.001 --> 0:04:25.401
<v Speaker 1>sort of going forward, but then coming back to sort

0:04:25.401 --> 0:04:28.961
<v Speaker 1>of meet our little friend Jane when she sort of

0:04:29.041 --> 0:04:31.521
<v Speaker 1>ziplines over to help catch her and stuff like that.

0:04:31.641 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Right then it went Jane, then it went me. So

0:04:33.521 --> 0:04:36.321
<v Speaker 1>that was the order. So I had to be almost

0:04:36.361 --> 0:04:39.281
<v Speaker 1>like teaching her and guiding her for the whole. A

0:04:39.281 --> 0:04:43.601
<v Speaker 1>little seven year old called Jane. Jane, that's very old fashioned.

0:04:45.481 --> 0:04:49.121
<v Speaker 1>We got on the we got on the first part

0:04:49.161 --> 0:04:54.721
<v Speaker 1>of the course, and she imagine that turn around. I

0:04:55.001 --> 0:04:56.841
<v Speaker 1>had to ask your name twice actually, because I was

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.361
<v Speaker 1>like Jane. She was like yeah. So I was like, okay,

0:05:00.081 --> 0:05:01.481
<v Speaker 1>didn't pick that one a.

0:05:01.361 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Pretty name, just like imagined like, ah, right, she's.

0:05:05.601 --> 0:05:07.921
<v Speaker 1>Sweet, super sweet. But she turned to me on the

0:05:07.921 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>first one Katie and was like, can you please be

0:05:10.961 --> 0:05:15.321
<v Speaker 1>my mom for this adventure? And I looked at her,

0:05:15.361 --> 0:05:17.961
<v Speaker 1>and then Elsie turned around and looked at me, giving

0:05:18.001 --> 0:05:20.681
<v Speaker 1>me the glare of like, you can't, don't steal my mom. Don't. Yeah,

0:05:21.081 --> 0:05:22.961
<v Speaker 1>you can't do that. You can't look at and I was,

0:05:23.161 --> 0:05:25.801
<v Speaker 1>of course anh and I was like, of course, she goes,

0:05:25.801 --> 0:05:28.041
<v Speaker 1>so I'm going to call you mom. She genuinely for

0:05:28.081 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the next three and a half hours called me mom, mom, wow,

0:05:33.121 --> 0:05:36.041
<v Speaker 1>honestly Katie. And then I've got my other two there

0:05:36.161 --> 0:05:38.641
<v Speaker 1>that is starting to get a little bit like at

0:05:38.681 --> 0:05:41.561
<v Speaker 1>the start, I didn't want to know you. You were cramping

0:05:41.601 --> 0:05:44.041
<v Speaker 1>my style. I've got this, I'm so all over it.

0:05:44.081 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Now we've got another addition to the family. For the

0:05:46.361 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>three and a half hours, and it was funny to

0:05:48.561 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>watch them start to come back into Oh, maybe Jane

0:05:52.681 --> 0:05:55.801
<v Speaker 1>can go between Elsie and Gracie so then I can

0:05:55.841 --> 0:06:00.641
<v Speaker 1>be at the back with this is my mom. So funny.

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.401
<v Speaker 1>Then we got off at one point because you get

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.201
<v Speaker 1>off to go and do another part, and we wanted

0:06:06.241 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to do the hardcore, so she sort of had hung

0:06:08.561 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>around waited. Her mom comes up to me and says,

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.001
<v Speaker 1>thank you for being her mum. I was, I'm still confused.

0:06:18.121 --> 0:06:22.761
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. You're welcome, absolutely welcome. But oh my gosh, Katie,

0:06:22.801 --> 0:06:25.721
<v Speaker 1>it was so funny. I was watching my two all

0:06:25.761 --> 0:06:28.321
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden take a little backstep and go actually

0:06:28.361 --> 0:06:31.921
<v Speaker 1>hang on. Somebody else wants her to be their mom.

0:06:32.081 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I've got to actually now, all of a sudden, I

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>want her around. I was like, oh my gosh, but

0:06:39.041 --> 0:06:44.881
<v Speaker 1>talk about outdoors, sunshine, nature, It's so much fun.

0:06:44.921 --> 0:06:48.121
<v Speaker 2>Like I understand why that mom was down there and

0:06:48.161 --> 0:06:50.161
<v Speaker 2>a bit scared, like it's a lot like it is.

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.361
<v Speaker 2>I love it though, Like I love it, but do

0:06:52.361 --> 0:06:53.921
<v Speaker 2>you know why? Because I was thinking, why do I

0:06:53.961 --> 0:06:55.401
<v Speaker 2>love it so much? I love the fact that it's

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.601
<v Speaker 2>a challenge. I love the fact that it's active. I

0:06:59.681 --> 0:07:02.921
<v Speaker 2>also love the fact that my husband really struggles on it,

0:07:03.001 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 2>so I feel like it's a competitive thing.

0:07:05.241 --> 0:07:05.921
<v Speaker 1>I'm the winner.

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.601
<v Speaker 2>He does not like going down the zip lines because

0:07:09.601 --> 0:07:11.641
<v Speaker 2>he like crashes at the end. I don't think it's

0:07:11.681 --> 0:07:13.161
<v Speaker 2>really great for big men.

0:07:13.641 --> 0:07:16.801
<v Speaker 1>I think Luke's Pulley system on the zip line, where

0:07:16.841 --> 0:07:18.561
<v Speaker 1>there was something just a little bit off with it

0:07:18.601 --> 0:07:20.601
<v Speaker 1>because I always made it to the other side where

0:07:22.321 --> 0:07:25.561
<v Speaker 1>he's kept pulling up like ten to twelve meters out

0:07:25.761 --> 0:07:28.561
<v Speaker 1>from the platform. So then at that stage on the

0:07:28.641 --> 0:07:32.721
<v Speaker 1>zip line, you have to like swing yourself around monkey up,

0:07:32.921 --> 0:07:34.721
<v Speaker 1>you know, all the way to the pip Yeah, which

0:07:34.761 --> 0:07:35.201
<v Speaker 1>is hard.

0:07:35.721 --> 0:07:37.201
<v Speaker 2>If you don't make it to the end of the

0:07:37.241 --> 0:07:41.361
<v Speaker 2>platform and land, you gotta that's a lot.

0:07:41.441 --> 0:07:43.841
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise you just fall back into the middle of the thing.

0:07:43.961 --> 0:07:46.201
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually know how they get you back if

0:07:46.241 --> 0:07:46.481
<v Speaker 1>you go.

0:07:46.801 --> 0:07:49.121
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they can go back out. I

0:07:49.161 --> 0:07:51.641
<v Speaker 2>don't think they could rescue you from mid zipline.

0:07:51.641 --> 0:07:53.601
<v Speaker 1>I don't would That's what I'm saying. It to be

0:07:53.681 --> 0:07:57.801
<v Speaker 1>some sort of fire brigade or someone flying on it,

0:07:58.041 --> 0:08:01.561
<v Speaker 1>like come through the tree tops and fly in. But

0:08:01.881 --> 0:08:05.761
<v Speaker 1>how I was wrapping the Superman, like what that's what

0:08:05.801 --> 0:08:08.401
<v Speaker 1>I mean. It comes through the forest, flies in the

0:08:08.441 --> 0:08:11.281
<v Speaker 1>lovely people that work there. They just fly in maybe

0:08:11.321 --> 0:08:14.401
<v Speaker 1>as like with something on their backs or something. But

0:08:14.521 --> 0:08:19.881
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea how especially that. Yeah, but I

0:08:19.961 --> 0:08:22.721
<v Speaker 1>would come up with anything if that was me they

0:08:22.761 --> 0:08:26.041
<v Speaker 1>got stuck in the middle of that zip line. Oh,

0:08:26.121 --> 0:08:27.481
<v Speaker 1>I'd be so embarrassed because you.

0:08:27.561 --> 0:08:30.521
<v Speaker 2>Need really strong arms. Like imagine if you start getting

0:08:30.521 --> 0:08:32.921
<v Speaker 2>fatigue on your arms, you're stuck there, You're just hang it,

0:08:33.041 --> 0:08:33.681
<v Speaker 2>You're just there.

0:08:34.001 --> 0:08:36.401
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. Well I turned around at one stage

0:08:36.441 --> 0:08:39.481
<v Speaker 1>and Elsie has come off. We were on the hardest one.

0:08:39.521 --> 0:08:42.201
<v Speaker 1>Elsie's come off, and what happens is it jams you

0:08:42.241 --> 0:08:45.121
<v Speaker 1>know how it does that like automatic stopper like this.

0:08:45.481 --> 0:08:50.041
<v Speaker 1>So she fell off. Not intentionally obviously, but she fell off.

0:08:50.161 --> 0:08:53.761
<v Speaker 1>She turns around. Oh my god, my vagina like this

0:08:54.001 --> 0:08:57.801
<v Speaker 1>so loud. So the harness has caught her because she's

0:08:57.801 --> 0:09:02.081
<v Speaker 1>fallen my old so HARDAM was like, shut up. She's

0:09:02.161 --> 0:09:07.041
<v Speaker 1>like literally echoing through the treetops. Why I anyway? You

0:09:07.121 --> 0:09:09.361
<v Speaker 1>can't take them anyway. So look, at the end of

0:09:09.401 --> 0:09:11.641
<v Speaker 1>the day, did cramp their style, but they did take

0:09:11.681 --> 0:09:15.001
<v Speaker 1>a backflip and thoroughly enjoy it. I would as a parent,

0:09:15.241 --> 0:09:18.161
<v Speaker 1>because we know what I'm like not cope. If I

0:09:18.161 --> 0:09:21.241
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do that with my kids, I would not cope

0:09:21.441 --> 0:09:25.521
<v Speaker 1>at all. That's the competitiveness in you. I loved doing it.

0:09:25.601 --> 0:09:27.561
<v Speaker 1>I loved being able to be there with them and

0:09:27.601 --> 0:09:28.561
<v Speaker 1>do it and watch them.

0:09:28.681 --> 0:09:30.561
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you one question, just to wrap up,

0:09:30.841 --> 0:09:34.441
<v Speaker 2>if you weren't very good at it, would.

0:09:34.201 --> 0:09:37.041
<v Speaker 1>You still love it? Yeah? I'd still yeah, because for

0:09:37.161 --> 0:09:38.841
<v Speaker 1>the first time when I went, Katie, I was not

0:09:38.921 --> 0:09:40.841
<v Speaker 1>good at it, But this time, because it was the

0:09:40.881 --> 0:09:44.601
<v Speaker 1>second one, I was better. Yeah. And yes, I did

0:09:44.721 --> 0:09:48.481
<v Speaker 1>challenge myself to not fall off once, and that is

0:09:48.521 --> 0:09:50.241
<v Speaker 1>what I did. I didn't fall off once.

0:09:51.041 --> 0:09:53.121
<v Speaker 2>But I reckon that first time that you went and

0:09:53.121 --> 0:09:55.081
<v Speaker 2>you went very good at it. I reckon you've secretly

0:09:55.161 --> 0:09:56.961
<v Speaker 2>been going back on your own.

0:09:57.001 --> 0:10:01.161
<v Speaker 1>That got you written all over it. I know I've

0:10:01.201 --> 0:10:03.721
<v Speaker 1>still got the black one to achieve the black line,

0:10:03.801 --> 0:10:06.041
<v Speaker 1>so I'll come back to you were not achieved that.

0:10:09.761 --> 0:10:10.161
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.
