Ted versus the FCC coming up at 435. Here's a positive teen story. Teenager turned a family

paddle outing in Western Australia into a survival story. After swimming for hours through choppy

waters to get help, we brought you this story about two or three months ago. Police say the 13-year-old

was kayaking with his mother, who is 47, and his younger brother who was 12 12 and sister who was eight. A strong wind pushed

their kayak and paddle boards away from the shore. Now the boy tried to paddle back to land

to raise the alarm, but his kayak began filling up with water. So he ditched it and started swimming,

the roughly two nautical miles to shore. The boy swam for around four hours, wearing a life jacket for roughly the first half.

Then they say the brave fellow thought he's not going to make it with a life jacket on, so he ditched it.

He reached land at about 6 o'clock in the evening, triggering a large air and sea search.

Around 8.30, two and a half hours later, a rescue helicopter found his mother and two siblings,

eight and a half miles offshore. Oh, man. Clinging to a paddleboard. This is in Australia.

Right. They praised the mother as an absolute hero as she took care of the other two, but physically

she said, I'm struggling. I can't. But she just said

they're looking her in the eye, and she just kept going and tried to keep the entire family together.

A volunteer rescue vessel brought the three back to land, where they were all checked by paramedics

taken to the hospital before being discharged. They say the boy's determination and courage

ultimately saved the lives of his mother and his brothers and sisters. The family later visited the rescue crew to thank them for their efforts as well. I got to think that the mother, right, because your son has disappeared at this point. Your other two kids are with her. You're clinging on the paddleboard. You know you're running out of energy. I mean, look, just as a parent, I'm sure she thought,

I've already lost my son, right? Because you're just thinking there's no way he made it to land, right? Yeah. And I'm sure she told him, don't do that. And it, like, don't know. Also, but also, you're sitting there with your two kids. I'm, I guarantee you she's thinking my entire family dies today. Well, also, you've got your two kids on top of the paddleboard. You managed to push them on top of it so they can just be safe. Yeah. While your legs are dangling from the side of this thing in Great White Shark Waters. In Australia, man. That's the thing that would freak me that. You said out, man. And the sun swam two miles? Yes. Two nautical miles for four hours. In Australia. you. I mean, to me, I'm not even worried about making it to shore based on my physical abilities.

Yes, rock. Hello, Joe. Welcome back to the men's room. Ola! Ola! We got you now.

All right.

Well, back when I was about 16 years old, me and about 10 friends, we were doing the Johnny Knoxville-style stuff before that show came out.

And jumping off the houses in the bushes and that sort of thing.
