WEBVTT - HNY! WE almost didn't make it.....literally!

0:00:05.921 --> 0:00:25.521
<v Speaker 1>Apod shape production look back to another episode a new

0:00:25.761 --> 0:00:29.161
<v Speaker 1>season of Am I a Bad Mum podcast for twenty

0:00:29.201 --> 0:00:29.721
<v Speaker 1>twenty five.

0:00:30.201 --> 0:00:34.481
<v Speaker 2>I was literally driving in Katie going, I can't believe

0:00:34.881 --> 0:00:37.041
<v Speaker 2>kind of that we're here again. We've had a few

0:00:37.081 --> 0:00:37.721
<v Speaker 2>weeks off.

0:00:38.081 --> 0:00:41.721
<v Speaker 1>What I've realized is that Christmas has such a build up.

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>There's so much that goes on, even in like you know,

0:00:44.361 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>once Halloween's done, then you've got November, the kids are

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.961
<v Speaker 1>starting to get tired and think about wrapping up school,

0:00:51.161 --> 0:00:55.361
<v Speaker 1>You're doing Christmas parties, like everything's going on, you have Christmas,

0:00:55.401 --> 0:00:59.081
<v Speaker 1>and then it's like bam over you don't oh you

0:00:59.121 --> 0:01:02.081
<v Speaker 1>put your Christmas tree down on Boxing Day. I knew

0:01:02.121 --> 0:01:02.401
<v Speaker 1>that was.

0:01:02.441 --> 0:01:06.241
<v Speaker 2>Leading in because I thought of you as December twenty

0:01:06.281 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 2>six rolls around and I am ushering out my family

0:01:11.601 --> 0:01:14.961
<v Speaker 2>that all stayed, and like just started on this rampage

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.801
<v Speaker 2>of like you know where people leaving just want to

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.561
<v Speaker 2>clean your house. Because I'd had visitors for like days

0:01:20.601 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 2>on end, and I was just like, I just want

0:01:22.441 --> 0:01:24.961
<v Speaker 2>to clean, and then it sort of started and then

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.121
<v Speaker 2>it just didn't finish, and then all of a sudden,

0:01:27.161 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the house is clear of all Christmas.

0:01:29.241 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Literally Christmas was over and you sent me a video

0:01:32.401 --> 0:01:35.321
<v Speaker 1>about what to screwed you either. Because my rule is

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.761
<v Speaker 1>New Year's Day, so you keep it up for Christmas

0:01:37.801 --> 0:01:40.881
<v Speaker 1>Eve and then your decorations come down New Yearday. And

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I loved taking the decorations down usday,

0:01:44.761 --> 0:01:57.641
<v Speaker 1>like it felt cleansing to me. Am I a bad

0:01:57.761 --> 0:02:04.761
<v Speaker 1>mum for almost killing a family member. I've had relatives

0:02:04.801 --> 0:02:06.921
<v Speaker 1>over as well. My dad and his wife have been

0:02:06.961 --> 0:02:10.841
<v Speaker 1>over from England and rate we bought a boat.

0:02:11.721 --> 0:02:14.361
<v Speaker 2>This is exciting. Actually, someone also just texted me the

0:02:14.441 --> 0:02:17.921
<v Speaker 2>other day and said Katie boating person Mark and I

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.281
<v Speaker 2>was like, yes, she is twenty twenty five is boating year.

0:02:21.441 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is so good. Just a cheap

0:02:23.601 --> 0:02:29.201
<v Speaker 1>little run around. And something quite traumatic happened when we

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>went for our second ever go on the boat. So

0:02:32.881 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>we reversed it in on the ramp. So it's called

0:02:36.281 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>h yeah, the ramp, So you reverse in the boat

0:02:39.201 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and then you disconnect it whatever. Jay does that part,

0:02:43.281 --> 0:02:47.841
<v Speaker 1>and then my job was to drive trailer back out

0:02:48.041 --> 0:02:51.201
<v Speaker 1>and then park the car. So did that all great?

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.361
<v Speaker 1>So Jay is on the boat in the driving seats.

0:02:55.361 --> 0:02:59.161
<v Speaker 1>Someone's to the wrong person.

0:02:59.321 --> 0:03:01.401
<v Speaker 2>I was like this yep, in my head, I know

0:03:01.441 --> 0:03:02.641
<v Speaker 2>exactly wherever it is.

0:03:02.601 --> 0:03:05.801
<v Speaker 1>He was driving. Everyone knows what I mean. And then

0:03:06.281 --> 0:03:09.201
<v Speaker 1>my dad's wife has got on the boat and my

0:03:09.401 --> 0:03:12.361
<v Speaker 1>kids are there too. Holly has a rope holding the

0:03:12.401 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>front of the boat. Amelia's job is to make sure

0:03:15.001 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>that the boat isn't touching the jetty a job.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:19.001 --> 0:03:22.201
<v Speaker 1>So then I come background. I've managed to park the trailer.

0:03:22.281 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm proud of myself because it's sucking hard.

0:03:24.281 --> 0:03:26.001
<v Speaker 2>I was like that in itself. Me. I'm like.

0:03:27.641 --> 0:03:30.161
<v Speaker 1>When I got back to the boat, it's like this

0:03:30.201 --> 0:03:32.841
<v Speaker 1>all happened in slow motion. So my dad, who is

0:03:32.881 --> 0:03:36.641
<v Speaker 1>in his seventies, he's a large guy. He had one

0:03:36.721 --> 0:03:42.001
<v Speaker 1>foot on the jetty, one foot on the boat.

0:03:42.401 --> 0:03:44.561
<v Speaker 2>At the back of the boat. Right, he's getting the

0:03:44.561 --> 0:03:45.001
<v Speaker 2>back of boat.

0:03:45.041 --> 0:03:48.281
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, Jay said, everyone get on the front. He

0:03:48.441 --> 0:03:50.521
<v Speaker 1>was like, no, I'm going to find it easier on

0:03:50.561 --> 0:03:53.721
<v Speaker 1>the back. One foot on the jetty, one foot on

0:03:53.761 --> 0:03:59.001
<v Speaker 1>the boat. And then I'm watching in slow motion all

0:03:59.041 --> 0:04:03.041
<v Speaker 1>of us in horror as the back of the boat

0:04:03.321 --> 0:04:09.161
<v Speaker 1>moves away from the jet and my dad is slowly

0:04:09.601 --> 0:04:18.161
<v Speaker 1>doing the splits and everyone's like, oh my god, what

0:04:18.441 --> 0:04:19.121
<v Speaker 1>is happening?

0:04:19.281 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Here. Everyone's waiting for it because everyone knows the inevitable

0:04:24.041 --> 0:04:25.201
<v Speaker 2>is about to happen.

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:30.041
<v Speaker 1>And I'm briefly in my mind, I'm going this is

0:04:30.241 --> 0:04:37.921
<v Speaker 1>really dangerous. This is not going to end well. And

0:04:38.001 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>he's looked at us and gone, I'm going in, and

0:04:44.841 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>he has gone into the water. My concern was he

0:04:50.521 --> 0:04:52.121
<v Speaker 1>was just going to keep doing the splits, keep doing

0:04:52.161 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>the splits, and then like fall back and smash his

0:04:54.401 --> 0:04:57.001
<v Speaker 1>head on the jelly or something like that. He's opted

0:04:57.201 --> 0:04:59.961
<v Speaker 1>to just go I have to go in. My only

0:05:00.001 --> 0:05:03.801
<v Speaker 1>option is to go in. He's fallen into the water.

0:05:04.481 --> 0:05:09.441
<v Speaker 1>We've all gone to like grabbing arm. This guy on

0:05:09.481 --> 0:05:13.561
<v Speaker 1>a boat behind us has taken his shirt off and

0:05:13.641 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>he has jumped straight into the water and he's like

0:05:16.401 --> 0:05:19.521
<v Speaker 1>trying to help. We're then trying to get this seventy

0:05:19.601 --> 0:05:23.241
<v Speaker 1>year old onto the back of the ladder of the boat.

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.041
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Rach it was like I felt like

0:05:26.121 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I had PTSD off the back of it. Holly looked

0:05:29.161 --> 0:05:31.401
<v Speaker 1>at me, she went, mom, I filck, I'm gonna vomit.

0:05:33.721 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I have to ask it. But in that part

0:05:37.241 --> 0:05:40.481
<v Speaker 2>of like watching it slow as he's starting to split,

0:05:40.601 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>like boats coming away Jenny's going a little bit further,

0:05:43.521 --> 0:05:45.561
<v Speaker 2>like this is there a little bit of you just

0:05:45.601 --> 0:05:47.601
<v Speaker 2>going like this is a little bit funny, but a

0:05:47.641 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>little bit fucked up. But this is a little bit funny,

0:05:49.641 --> 0:05:51.161
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know what I'm meant to be doing.

0:05:51.241 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>His wife starts crying. No, it was like it was traumatic.

0:05:55.281 --> 0:05:57.921
<v Speaker 1>And then rag finally we got out. No one's talking,

0:05:58.081 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>like we all got on the boat. Dad's soaking wet

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.481
<v Speaker 1>in his clothes. Old mate who's jumped into help has gone, fuck,

0:06:04.521 --> 0:06:07.961
<v Speaker 1>I've left my phone in my pocket. He hadn't who

0:06:08.001 --> 0:06:11.161
<v Speaker 1>had his boat? Legend of a man, Yeah, his wife,

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.841
<v Speaker 1>And so then we've started going on the boat. No

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.721
<v Speaker 1>one's speaking because we're all really traumatized. But once just happened.

0:06:18.961 --> 0:06:20.681
<v Speaker 1>This is on the Gold Coast. We get out, it's

0:06:20.761 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>got super choppy, so Jay's going faster to try and

0:06:24.801 --> 0:06:30.721
<v Speaker 1>get through the waves. We're getting absolutely soaked. I felt

0:06:30.801 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>like I was in the middle of like some kind

0:06:32.761 --> 0:06:36.761
<v Speaker 1>of rough seed storm. I'm like, I don't know what

0:06:36.841 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to do with myself. I'm like holding on for dear life.

0:06:39.201 --> 0:06:41.041
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking back at the two seven year olds in

0:06:41.161 --> 0:06:44.001
<v Speaker 1>the boat, thinking, fuck, they're not enjoying this at all.

0:06:44.761 --> 0:06:49.241
<v Speaker 1>We've eventually got to like the canals where it's a

0:06:49.281 --> 0:06:53.081
<v Speaker 1>lot calmer, and all I'm thinking is fuck going back

0:06:53.121 --> 0:06:54.841
<v Speaker 1>out there? How are we going to get back out?

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.401
<v Speaker 1>We've gone through the canals, We've stopped and had a

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>sandwich I bought with us, and the boat stopped working.

0:07:07.281 --> 0:07:10.601
<v Speaker 1>What's broken down? Jay's trying to fix the Enginey's trying

0:07:10.601 --> 0:07:13.401
<v Speaker 1>to rev it again. It's not happening. We've had to

0:07:13.441 --> 0:07:19.681
<v Speaker 1>tie up in somebody else's jetty, private jetty at their home.

0:07:20.201 --> 0:07:22.881
<v Speaker 1>It's not going anywhere. We ended up calling out the

0:07:22.921 --> 0:07:29.721
<v Speaker 1>rescue boat. The rescue boats come. It's tied a rope

0:07:29.761 --> 0:07:33.241
<v Speaker 1>from their boat to our boat. Jay is in the

0:07:33.321 --> 0:07:37.601
<v Speaker 1>driving seat again. My Dad's insisted on staying on the boat.

0:07:37.881 --> 0:07:42.041
<v Speaker 1>We've all gone on the rescue boat. This boat has

0:07:42.161 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 1>then gone full throttle through those waves to get through.

0:07:47.001 --> 0:07:51.361
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching Jay's holding on for dear life. Dad's on

0:07:51.441 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the back. He's had to lie down. We're just a lot.

0:07:58.081 --> 0:08:01.361
<v Speaker 1>Then we've all like hung our heads in shame as

0:08:01.401 --> 0:08:04.201
<v Speaker 1>we get towed back to the jetty in the lifeboat.

0:08:07.001 --> 0:08:09.641
<v Speaker 2>My gosh, at this stage, Kat I would have been

0:08:09.761 --> 0:08:11.761
<v Speaker 2>like sell the fucking boat.

0:08:12.121 --> 0:08:13.481
<v Speaker 1>It's too much.

0:08:14.401 --> 0:08:17.961
<v Speaker 2>That's almost like, am I a bad daughter for almost

0:08:18.121 --> 0:08:21.521
<v Speaker 2>killing my parents? It's kind of reversal of what we

0:08:21.601 --> 0:08:24.681
<v Speaker 2>constantly talk about. Yeah, oh my, that sounds traumatic. I

0:08:24.681 --> 0:08:27.721
<v Speaker 2>don't even know how your dad's still staying on that

0:08:27.801 --> 0:08:31.641
<v Speaker 2>boat to get dragged home. I would be. I mean,

0:08:31.681 --> 0:08:33.521
<v Speaker 2>I get why he did it. I get why he

0:08:33.561 --> 0:08:35.081
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to swap boats because.

0:08:34.841 --> 0:08:38.361
<v Speaker 1>He'd be now got a bad back, he's massive bruises.

0:08:39.721 --> 0:08:42.121
<v Speaker 2>Your parents are in their seventies and you almost killed

0:08:42.161 --> 0:08:44.401
<v Speaker 2>them off the side of a boat. Yeah, I mean,

0:08:44.521 --> 0:08:46.681
<v Speaker 2>welcome to Australia, thanks for coming.

0:08:47.601 --> 0:08:50.401
<v Speaker 1>Happy holidays, and now you're about to.

0:08:50.401 --> 0:08:52.041
<v Speaker 2>Go home, so I'm going to send you off on it.

0:08:52.361 --> 0:08:54.241
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you better be careful dad. The sharks

0:08:54.281 --> 0:08:55.321
<v Speaker 1>and there was deep water.

0:08:55.521 --> 0:08:57.361
<v Speaker 2>Where were you though, Like, just were you in the

0:08:57.401 --> 0:08:59.561
<v Speaker 2>canals when you were getting where he fell? No?

0:08:59.961 --> 0:09:01.561
<v Speaker 1>Like out in the broadwater?

0:09:01.921 --> 0:09:02.681
<v Speaker 2>Oh right?

0:09:02.801 --> 0:09:03.521
<v Speaker 1>Is that what it's called?

0:09:03.721 --> 0:09:06.401
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Like out where? And then that other guy I

0:09:06.481 --> 0:09:09.561
<v Speaker 2>decided to put his life on the line to jump in.

0:09:09.641 --> 0:09:12.521
<v Speaker 1>To what a nice guy? A nice guy, Such a

0:09:12.601 --> 0:09:15.521
<v Speaker 1>nice guy. Holly was traumatized because she was supposed to

0:09:15.561 --> 0:09:18.761
<v Speaker 1>be the one holding the boat to the jetty on the.

0:09:19.081 --> 0:09:22.601
<v Speaker 2>Had a moment of thought of going okay, so as

0:09:22.641 --> 0:09:25.641
<v Speaker 2>the boat was sort of going teetering out, who was

0:09:25.681 --> 0:09:27.321
<v Speaker 2>in charge of holding a boat to the jetty?

0:09:27.681 --> 0:09:29.481
<v Speaker 1>So she was, but she was doing a good job

0:09:29.481 --> 0:09:32.001
<v Speaker 1>because she was holding the boat to the jetty. But

0:09:32.081 --> 0:09:33.881
<v Speaker 1>she was holding the front of the boat to the jetty.

0:09:34.601 --> 0:09:38.081
<v Speaker 1>We all just sat and watched the back of the

0:09:38.121 --> 0:09:46.321
<v Speaker 1>boat just go out now doing the splits.

0:09:46.681 --> 0:09:48.881
<v Speaker 2>I would have been dying inside. I would have been

0:09:48.961 --> 0:09:53.241
<v Speaker 2>dying inside, panicking inside. But when those sorts of things happened,

0:09:53.321 --> 0:09:56.041
<v Speaker 2>I start to just cry with laughter because I can't

0:09:56.081 --> 0:09:59.001
<v Speaker 2>like that stuff. Is kind of like that TV show

0:09:59.001 --> 0:10:01.201
<v Speaker 2>that we used to always watch, that Funniest Home Videos,

0:10:01.241 --> 0:10:02.961
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, yeah, actually it happened all the time.

0:10:03.201 --> 0:10:04.201
<v Speaker 1>I wish we'd filmed there.
