He Couldn’t Find a Job in Shark Science… So He Built a YouTube Channel Instead

Shark Science Career is brutally competitive, and many graduates struggle to find paid work after university. So what happens when passion meets rejection? In this episode of Beyond Jaws, shark scientist Christian Parton shares how he went from struggling to land a job in the field to building one of the fastest growing shark science channels on YouTube, Shark Bites, now with over 180,000 subscribers.
Shark Bytes YouTube did not begin as a master plan. It started as a creative outlet after graduation, when traditional career paths were not opening up. Christian explains how combining entertainment with real science allowed him to reach a global audience, dispel shark myths, analyze viral shark videos, and create financial freedom through science communication.
One surprising insight from this episode: Christian’s first scuba dive ever included an oceanic whitetip shark encounter, a rare and life changing moment that permanently shaped his career direction. That single underwater experience helped define his life’s work.
If you care about shark conservation, science communication, or building your own path in marine biology, this episode will challenge how you think about career success in ocean science.

shark science
20
01:00:16,875 --> 01:00:17,625
and how he

YouTube channel
24
01:00:20,875 --> 01:00:21,666
kind of blew up
25
01:00:21,666 --> 01:00:22,791
and changed the
26
01:00:22,791 --> 01:00:23,791
way he looked at
27
01:00:23,791 --> 01:00:24,625
his career.

30
01:00:25,833 --> 01:00:26,500

01:00:29,375 --> 01:00:30,000
Hey everybody,

welcome back to
37
01:00:30,541 --> 01:00:30,791
another exciting
38
01:00:30,791 --> 01:00:32,041
episode of the

41
01:00:33,083 --> 01:00:33,791
I'm your co-host,
42
01:00:33,791 --> 01:00:34,583
Andrew Lewin with
43
01:00:34,583 --> 01:00:35,500
my co-host, Dr.
44
01:00:35,708 --> 01:00:36,250
David Ebert.
45
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:37,583
Dave, are you
46
01:00:37,583 --> 01:00:38,416
ready to talk
47
01:00:38,416 --> 01:00:40,083
about YouTube as
48
01:00:40,083 --> 01:00:41,208
a way to earn
49
01:00:41,208 --> 01:00:42,291
money and do
50
01:00:42,291 --> 01:00:43,000
shark science?
51
01:00:44,333 --> 01:00:44,708
Absolutely. I'm
52
01:00:44,708 --> 01:00:45,250
looking forward
53
01:00:45,250 --> 01:00:45,833
to this one.
54
01:00:46,083 --> 01:00:47,041
I mean, yeah, he
55
01:00:47,041 --> 01:00:47,250
reached
56
01:00:47,250 --> 01:00:48,041
out to use.
57
01:00:48,041 --> 01:00:48,500
That's that's
58
01:00:48,500 --> 01:00:49,041
really cool
59
01:00:49,041 --> 01:00:50,416
because I didn't
60
01:00:50,416 --> 01:00:51,000
I was aware of
61
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:51,791
the site, but I
62
01:00:51,791 --> 01:00:52,458
didn't really.
63
01:00:52,458 --> 01:00:52,916
I didn't know him
64
01:00:52,916 --> 01:00:53,500
at all or have
65
01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:54,708
any idea who ran
66
01:00:54,708 --> 01:00:55,166
it or anything.
67
01:00:55,416 --> 01:00:56,041
So I'm kind of
68
01:00:56,041 --> 01:00:56,833
excited about the
69
01:00:56,833 --> 01:00:57,500
whole show today.
70
01:00:57,916 --> 01:00:58,250
I've been
71
01:00:58,250 --> 01:00:58,750
following his
72
01:00:58,750 --> 01:00:59,375
YouTube channel
73
01:00:59,375 --> 01:01:00,208
for probably
74
01:01:00,208 --> 01:01:00,916
about about a
75
01:01:00,916 --> 01:01:01,583
year and a half,
76
01:01:01,583 --> 01:01:02,041
you know,
77
01:01:02,041 --> 01:01:02,625
looking at
78
01:01:02,625 --> 01:01:03,500
someone who talks
79
01:01:03,500 --> 01:01:05,125
about sharks, not
80
01:01:05,125 --> 01:01:06,083
just sharks and
81
01:01:06,083 --> 01:01:06,833
marine science,
82
01:01:06,833 --> 01:01:07,125
but marine
83
01:01:07,125 --> 01:01:07,625
science,
84
01:01:07,625 --> 01:01:08,166
like actual
85
01:01:08,166 --> 01:01:09,375
science, bringing
86
01:01:09,375 --> 01:01:10,000
in the science
87
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:10,416
around it.
88
01:01:10,666 --> 01:01:11,291
He does it in a
89
01:01:11,291 --> 01:01:11,500
very
90
01:01:11,500 --> 01:01:12,375
entertaining way.
91
01:01:12,958 --> 01:01:13,583
His channel is
92
01:01:13,583 --> 01:01:14,041
huge. He's got
93
01:01:14,041 --> 01:01:15,625
over 180,000
94
01:01:15,625 --> 01:01:17,458
subscribers and
95
01:01:17,458 --> 01:01:17,875
he's just,
96
01:01:17,875 --> 01:01:18,375
you know,
97
01:01:18,375 --> 01:01:18,708
it's getting
98
01:01:18,708 --> 01:01:19,583
bigger and bigger
99
01:01:19,583 --> 01:01:20,291
and bigger.
100
01:01:21,083 --> 01:01:22,125
And he what I
101
01:01:22,125 --> 01:01:22,500
like is he
102
01:01:22,500 --> 01:01:23,416
injects science
103
01:01:23,416 --> 01:01:24,833
into every single
104
01:01:24,833 --> 01:01:25,916
episode, reacts
105
01:01:25,916 --> 01:01:26,166
to
106
01:01:26,166 --> 01:01:26,875
certain things,
107
01:01:27,291 --> 01:01:28,208
dispels myths
108
01:01:28,208 --> 01:01:28,833
that you see
109
01:01:28,833 --> 01:01:30,750
online, looks at
110
01:01:30,750 --> 01:01:32,041
reviews, you
111
01:01:32,041 --> 01:01:32,625
know, shark
112
01:01:32,625 --> 01:01:33,416
videos and
113
01:01:33,416 --> 01:01:33,583
everything
114
01:01:33,583 --> 01:01:34,625
like that, looks
115
01:01:34,625 --> 01:01:36,166
at how a shark
116
01:01:36,166 --> 01:01:36,791
like a shark
117
01:01:36,791 --> 01:01:37,333
demeanor can
118
01:01:37,333 --> 01:01:38,333
change, you know,
119
01:01:38,333 --> 01:01:38,958
during a video
120
01:01:38,958 --> 01:01:40,083
or during a dive
121
01:01:40,083 --> 01:01:40,583
and what to look
122
01:01:40,583 --> 01:01:41,625
out for. It's
123
01:01:41,625 --> 01:01:41,875
really
124
01:01:41,875 --> 01:01:42,250
interesting
125
01:01:42,250 --> 01:01:43,083
stuff. But what I
126
01:01:43,083 --> 01:01:43,625
what I love
127
01:01:43,625 --> 01:01:44,291
about this, what
128
01:01:44,291 --> 01:01:44,541
he's going to
129
01:01:44,541 --> 01:01:45,500
talk about today
130
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:46,666
is how this has
131
01:01:46,666 --> 01:01:47,083
kind of changed
132
01:01:47,083 --> 01:01:47,500
life for
133
01:01:47,500 --> 01:01:48,000
his career.
134
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:48,333
Because when he
135
01:01:48,333 --> 01:01:49,041
first graduated,
136
01:01:49,041 --> 01:01:49,583
tried to look for
137
01:01:49,583 --> 01:01:50,708
a job, couldn't
138
01:01:50,708 --> 01:01:51,375
find a job,
139
01:01:51,750 --> 01:01:51,916
started
140
01:01:51,916 --> 01:01:52,291
doing some
141
01:01:52,333 --> 01:01:53,083
YouTube videos
142
01:01:53,083 --> 01:01:53,625
and all of a
143
01:01:53,625 --> 01:01:54,458
sudden, five
144
01:01:54,458 --> 01:01:55,333
years later, he's
145
01:01:55,333 --> 01:01:55,833
like, Hey, you
146
01:01:55,833 --> 01:01:56,208
know what?
147
01:01:56,791 --> 01:01:57,208
I'm actually
148
01:01:57,208 --> 01:01:57,500
doing pretty
149
01:01:57,500 --> 01:01:58,750
well. So I can do
150
01:01:58,750 --> 01:01:59,500
really whatever I
151
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:00,500
want after that. Or it
152
01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:00,875
gives me the
153
01:02:00,875 --> 01:02:01,916
freedom, gives
154
01:02:01,916 --> 01:02:02,375
him the freedom
155
01:02:02,375 --> 01:02:03,166
to do whatever he
156
01:02:03,166 --> 01:02:03,625
wants, which
157
01:02:03,625 --> 01:02:04,541
inspires us
158
01:02:04,541 --> 01:02:05,000
because we
159
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:05,333
both have
160
01:02:05,333 --> 01:02:06,083
YouTube channels
161
01:02:06,083 --> 01:02:07,250
together on our
162
01:02:07,250 --> 01:02:08,166
own and that we
163
01:02:08,166 --> 01:02:08,750
want to be able
164
01:02:08,750 --> 01:02:09,250
to do the same
165
01:02:09,250 --> 01:02:09,916
thing as he does.
166
01:02:10,083 --> 01:02:10,833
So we're going to
167
01:02:10,833 --> 01:02:11,291
have him back on
168
01:02:11,291 --> 01:02:12,166
the, on the show,
169
01:02:12,166 --> 01:02:12,791
not only to just
170
01:02:12,791 --> 01:02:13,000
talk
171
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:13,666
about, you know,
172
01:02:13,666 --> 01:02:13,791
science
173
01:02:13,791 --> 01:02:14,375
communication,
174
01:02:14,375 --> 01:02:14,875
but just talk
175
01:02:14,875 --> 01:02:15,875
about his career.
176
01:02:15,875 --> 01:02:16,375
I think this is
177
01:02:16,375 --> 01:02:17,083
an episode
178
01:02:17,083 --> 01:02:17,833
you'll hear
179
01:02:17,833 --> 01:02:18,541
in a bit where we
180
01:02:18,541 --> 01:02:19,000
could have talked
181
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:19,791
for about three
182
01:02:19,791 --> 01:02:20,750
hours. So what do
183
01:02:20,750 --> 01:02:21,416
you say, Dave, do you want
184
01:02:21,458 --> 01:02:22,083
to get into the
185
01:02:22,083 --> 01:02:23,291
episode? Let's do
186
01:02:23,291 --> 01:02:24,333
it. All right.
187
01:02:24,333 --> 01:02:24,666
Here's the
188
01:02:24,666 --> 01:02:25,208
interview with
189
01:02:25,208 --> 01:02:25,500
Christian
190
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:26,083
Parton talking
191
01:02:26,250 --> 01:02:27,291
about science
192
01:02:27,291 --> 01:02:27,833
communication,
193
01:02:28,208 --> 01:02:28,833
shark science,
194
01:02:28,833 --> 01:02:29,333

rather
214
01:02:47,875 --> 01:02:48,458
interesting
215
01:02:48,458 --> 01:02:49,416

229
01:03:00,166 --> 01:03:00,875
Now, Kristin has
230
01:03:00,875 --> 01:03:01,500
dedicated his
231
01:03:01,500 --> 01:03:02,500

236
01:03:05,250 --> 01:03:05,791
And prior to
237
01:03:05,791 --> 01:03:06,333
shark base, a
238
01:03:06,333 --> 01:03:06,666
little bit of
239
01:03:06,666 --> 01:03:07,291
background, which
240
01:03:07,291 --> 01:03:07,625
we'll go into
241
01:03:07,625 --> 01:03:08,208
more today.
242
01:03:08,625 --> 01:03:09,000
Prior to shark
243
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:09,583
bites, he was a
244
01:03:09,583 --> 01:03:10,208

247
01:03:12,375 --> 01:03:13,041
another website
248
01:03:13,041 --> 01:03:13,833
I've seen before.
249
01:03:13,833 --> 01:03:14,708
And I had no idea
250
01:03:14,708 --> 01:03:14,958
you were
251
01:03:14,958 --> 01:03:15,583
connected to that
252
01:03:15,583 --> 01:03:16,666
one as well. It's
253
01:03:16,666 --> 01:03:17,125
a site that
254
01:03:17,125 --> 01:03:17,750
initially began
255
01:03:18,375 --> 01:03:19,625
as a as a Jaws
256
01:03:19,625 --> 01:03:20,583
fan group, which
257
01:03:20,583 --> 01:03:21,250

90,000 followers
259
01:03:22,416 --> 01:03:23,000

261
01:03:23,583 --> 01:03:24,208

262
01:03:24,791 --> 01:03:25,416
He's also worked
263
01:03:25,416 --> 01:03:26,541
for our friend
264
01:03:26,541 --> 01:03:27,250
Austin Gallagher
265
01:03:27,250 --> 01:03:27,833
at the beneath
266
01:03:27,833 --> 01:03:28,333
the waves
267
01:03:28,333 --> 01:03:29,583
organization.
268
01:03:30,833 --> 01:03:31,916
And he's Austin
269
01:03:31,916 --> 01:03:32,458
has been on the
270
01:03:32,458 --> 01:03:33,250
program as well.
271
01:03:34,041 --> 01:03:35,166
And Kristin is
272
01:03:35,166 --> 01:03:35,666
also as a
273
01:03:35,666 --> 01:03:36,791
co-founder of,
274
01:03:36,791 --> 01:03:37,166
I'm probably
275
01:03:37,166 --> 01:03:37,375
going to
276
01:03:37,375 --> 01:03:37,750
pronounce this
277
01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:39,208
wrong. Sharon.
278
01:03:39,958 --> 01:03:41,208
Sharon. Yes,
279
01:03:41,208 --> 01:03:42,000
Sharon. Well, you
280
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:42,541
could say like,
281
01:03:42,541 --> 01:03:42,791
you could do it
282
01:03:42,791 --> 01:03:43,291
like Ozzy
283
01:03:43,291 --> 01:03:43,750
Osbourne does
284
01:03:43,750 --> 01:03:44,208
where he goes.
285
01:03:44,791 --> 01:03:45,833
Sharon. Like
286
01:03:45,833 --> 01:03:46,291
that. It sounds
287
01:03:46,291 --> 01:03:47,500
like something of
288
01:03:47,500 --> 01:03:48,500
a zen thing or
289
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:48,875
whatever.
290
01:03:48,875 --> 01:03:49,166
But we'll get
291
01:03:49,166 --> 01:03:49,791
into that today
292
01:03:49,791 --> 01:03:50,791
too. It's a shark
293
01:03:50,791 --> 01:03:51,083
and ray
294
01:03:51,083 --> 01:03:51,625
entanglement
295
01:03:51,625 --> 01:03:52,166
network in
296
01:03:52,166 --> 01:03:52,541
collaboration
297
01:03:52,541 --> 01:03:53,166
with our friends
298
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:53,500
at the
299
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:53,875
Shark Trust.
300
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:55,458
Another group,
301
01:03:55,458 --> 01:03:56,000
we've had several
302
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:56,583

303
01:03:56,583 --> 01:03:57,791
on this, on this
304
01:03:57,791 --> 01:03:58,375
alley, alley
305
01:03:58,375 --> 01:03:59,333
hood. Now there's
306
01:03:59,333 --> 01:04:00,166
Paul Cockspin on
307
01:04:00,166 --> 01:04:00,500
the show.
308
01:04:01,750 --> 01:04:03,041
Anyway, Kristin,
309
01:04:03,041 --> 01:04:03,708
he has his
310
01:04:03,708 --> 01:04:04,083

312
01:04:04,958 --> 01:04:05,875

313
01:04:05,875 --> 01:04:06,708

01:04:06,708 --> 01:04:07,041
University
315
01:04:07,041 --> 01:04:08,000

316
01:04:08,416 --> 01:04:10,500
And he has a M
317
01:04:10,500 --> 01:04:12,833

a master's of
319
01:04:13,458 --> 01:04:14,083
research. I'm not
320
01:04:14,083 --> 01:04:14,250
going to
321
01:04:14,250 --> 01:04:14,625
pronounce it
322
01:04:14,625 --> 01:04:15,000
right. I'll let
323
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:15,833
him figure it out
324
01:04:15,833 --> 01:04:17,541
later in
325
01:04:17,541 --> 01:04:17,958
biological
326
01:04:17,958 --> 01:04:18,750
sciences.
327
01:04:18,750 --> 01:04:19,125
Also from the
328
01:04:19,125 --> 01:04:19,750

01:04:19,750 --> 01:04:20,958

330
01:04:20,958 --> 01:04:21,375
actually really
331
01:04:21,375 --> 01:04:21,625
looking forward
332
01:04:21,625 --> 01:04:22,541
to the show today
333
01:04:22,541 --> 01:04:24,041
because as much
334
01:04:24,041 --> 01:04:24,666
as I've seen his
335
01:04:24,666 --> 01:04:25,166
website and
336
01:04:25,166 --> 01:04:25,708
everything, I had
337
01:04:25,708 --> 01:04:26,708
no idea about his
338
01:04:26,708 --> 01:04:27,375
background or
339
01:04:27,375 --> 01:04:27,583
anything.
340
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:28,666
And do I have to
341
01:04:28,666 --> 01:04:29,041
say it was the
342
01:04:29,041 --> 01:04:29,500
one that said
343
01:04:29,500 --> 01:04:30,125
they would have
344
01:04:30,125 --> 01:04:30,708
this guy on the
345
01:04:30,708 --> 01:04:31,708
show. Yeah. And
346
01:04:31,708 --> 01:04:33,791
so, Kristin,
347
01:04:34,041 --> 01:04:34,458
welcome to
348
01:04:34,458 --> 01:04:34,833

349
01:04:35,250 --> 01:04:36,166
Oh, thank you so

352
01:04:37,583 --> 01:04:38,583
happy when Andrew
353
01:04:38,583 --> 01:04:39,500
just slid into my
354
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:40,250
DMS because I've
355
01:04:40,250 --> 01:04:41,041

little while now.
359
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:43,333
And I was like,
360
01:04:43,333 --> 01:04:44,125

363
01:04:46,541 --> 01:04:47,791
Well, it's kind

01:04:52,666 --> 01:04:53,208

saw you post in
376
01:05:00,041 --> 01:05:00,625

01:05:13,958 --> 01:05:14,583
David, having won
397
01:05:14,583 --> 01:05:15,166
the podcast for
398
01:05:15,166 --> 01:05:15,875
for a long time.
399
01:05:16,208 --> 01:05:17,583
So we are like
400
01:05:17,583 --> 01:05:18,166
absolutely
401
01:05:18,166 --> 01:05:19,083
excited. This is
402
01:05:19,083 --> 01:05:19,875
going to be so
403
01:05:19,875 --> 01:05:20,416
much. Thank you
404
01:05:20,416 --> 01:05:20,875
so much for
405
01:05:20,875 --> 01:05:21,375
having me on.
406
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,500
Yeah. So so let's
407
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:24,208
let's get things
408
01:05:24,208 --> 01:05:24,625
rolling here.
409
01:05:24,666 --> 01:05:25,375
Like I got to ask
410
01:05:25,375 --> 01:05:26,250
you our opening
411
01:05:26,250 --> 01:05:26,916
question. Like,
412
01:05:26,916 --> 01:05:27,416
how did you get
413
01:05:27,416 --> 01:05:28,041
interested in
414
01:05:28,041 --> 01:05:29,250
sharks and marine
415
01:05:29,250 --> 01:05:31,000
science? I mean,
416
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:32,000
I reckon if you
417
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,833
ask a lot of
418
01:05:33,833 --> 01:05:35,666
people who are in
419
01:05:35,666 --> 01:05:36,583
some way, shape
420
01:05:36,583 --> 01:05:37,375
or form involved
421
01:05:37,375 --> 01:05:38,000
with sharks,
422
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:38,458
they'll more
423
01:05:38,458 --> 01:05:39,083
often than not
424
01:05:39,083 --> 01:05:39,708
tell you it's got
425
01:05:39,708 --> 01:05:40,708
a little bit of
426
01:05:40,708 --> 01:05:41,125
something to do
427
01:05:41,125 --> 01:05:41,333
with their
428
01:05:41,333 --> 01:05:41,750
childhood.
429
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:42,833
And that's
430
01:05:42,833 --> 01:05:43,625
definitely the
431
01:05:43,625 --> 01:05:44,375
case for me. I
432
01:05:44,375 --> 01:05:44,958
mean, I imagine
433
01:05:44,958 --> 01:05:45,458
it's the case for
434
01:05:45,458 --> 01:05:45,833
a lot of people
435
01:05:45,833 --> 01:05:47,125
as well. But I
436
01:05:47,125 --> 01:05:48,250
was that kid, you
437
01:05:48,250 --> 01:05:48,958
know, the five
438
01:05:48,958 --> 01:05:49,500
year old in the
439
01:05:49,500 --> 01:05:50,208
bath playing with
440
01:05:50,208 --> 01:05:50,541
the shark.
441
01:05:50,750 --> 01:05:51,666
Like that was me.
442
01:05:52,291 --> 01:05:53,041
I love them from
443
01:05:53,041 --> 01:05:54,208
when I was tiny
444
01:05:54,208 --> 01:05:55,541
as a lot of young
445
01:05:55,541 --> 01:05:56,625
lads do like they
446
01:05:56,625 --> 01:05:57,541
just they just
447
01:05:57,541 --> 01:05:58,166
they're such an
448
01:05:58,166 --> 01:05:58,833
awesome animal.
449
01:05:58,833 --> 01:05:59,500
And they kind of
450
01:05:59,500 --> 01:06:00,125
they generate
451
01:06:00,125 --> 01:06:01,541
this curiosity in
452
01:06:01,541 --> 01:06:02,333
you from such a
453
01:06:02,333 --> 01:06:02,875
young age.
454
01:06:03,250 --> 01:06:05,000
And I was lucky
455
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:05,791
enough to
456
01:06:05,791 --> 01:06:06,708
probably I think
457
01:06:06,708 --> 01:06:07,333
it was about
458
01:06:07,333 --> 01:06:09,333
maybe 13. I first
459
01:06:09,333 --> 01:06:09,875
learned how to
460
01:06:09,875 --> 01:06:11,083
scuba dive. And
461
01:06:11,083 --> 01:06:12,833
that just opened
462
01:06:12,833 --> 01:06:14,541
the world to me,
463
01:06:14,541 --> 01:06:15,000
the underwater
464
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:15,500
world to me.
465
01:06:15,541 --> 01:06:16,916
I just having
466
01:06:16,916 --> 01:06:18,500
that right front
467
01:06:18,500 --> 01:06:19,708
center was just
468
01:06:19,708 --> 01:06:20,333
something that
469
01:06:20,333 --> 01:06:20,791
completely
470
01:06:20,791 --> 01:06:21,500
changed my life.
471
01:06:21,500 --> 01:06:22,083
And I was I
472
01:06:22,083 --> 01:06:22,625
remember on my
473
01:06:22,625 --> 01:06:23,541
first ever scuba
474
01:06:23,541 --> 01:06:24,125
dive, we saw an
475
01:06:24,125 --> 01:06:24,791
oceanic white tip
476
01:06:24,791 --> 01:06:25,416
shark. And it was
477
01:06:25,416 --> 01:06:26,708
just just a life
478
01:06:26,708 --> 01:06:27,041
changing
479
01:06:27,041 --> 01:06:27,875
experience.
480
01:06:27,875 --> 01:06:28,500
And quite the
481
01:06:28,500 --> 01:06:29,208
first time I
482
01:06:29,208 --> 01:06:29,958
know, right. I
483
01:06:29,958 --> 01:06:30,625
know. I've never
484
01:06:30,625 --> 01:06:31,416
seen one since
485
01:06:31,416 --> 01:06:32,166
it's the funniest
486
01:06:32,166 --> 01:06:32,916
thing, my first
487
01:06:32,916 --> 01:06:33,791
ever dive. It's
488
01:06:33,791 --> 01:06:34,708
crazy. And it was
489
01:06:34,708 --> 01:06:35,333
pretty rare for
490
01:06:35,333 --> 01:06:36,041
the area as well,
491
01:06:36,041 --> 01:06:36,958
which was even
492
01:06:36,958 --> 01:06:38,458
even cooler. But
493
01:06:38,458 --> 01:06:39,416
but yeah, that
494
01:06:39,416 --> 01:06:40,250
was my dad. My
495
01:06:40,250 --> 01:06:41,041
dad came down
496
01:06:41,041 --> 01:06:41,333
with me.
497
01:06:41,375 --> 01:06:42,041
And I was I was
498
01:06:42,041 --> 01:06:42,916
with an with an
499
01:06:42,916 --> 01:06:43,500
instructor. And
500
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:44,375
it was one of
501
01:06:44,375 --> 01:06:44,958
those like
502
01:06:44,958 --> 01:06:47,291
discover scuba
503
01:06:47,291 --> 01:06:48,000
things, you know,
504
01:06:48,208 --> 01:06:48,625
well, it just the
505
01:06:48,625 --> 01:06:49,208
instructor takes
506
01:06:49,208 --> 01:06:49,708
you down. But
507
01:06:49,708 --> 01:06:50,666
yeah, we saw we
508
01:06:50,666 --> 01:06:51,375
saw oceanic white
509
01:06:51,375 --> 01:06:52,541
tip and it was
510
01:06:52,541 --> 01:06:53,916
just that moment
511
01:06:53,916 --> 01:06:54,708
when you have
512
01:06:54,708 --> 01:06:56,000
that animal just
513
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,666
come cruising
514
01:06:57,666 --> 01:06:59,083
past and it kind
515
01:06:59,083 --> 01:06:59,500
of checks
516
01:06:59,500 --> 01:07:00,166
you out.
517
01:07:00,333 --> 01:07:01,000
And then it just
518
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:02,041
heads off and I
519
01:07:02,041 --> 01:07:03,000
just the images
520
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,208
just burn into my
521
01:07:04,208 --> 01:07:05,666
brain. I'll never
522
01:07:05,666 --> 01:07:06,291
forget it. I'm
523
01:07:06,291 --> 01:07:07,000
never ever forget
524
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:07,500
it. And it just
525
01:07:07,500 --> 01:07:08,333
set me on that
526
01:07:08,333 --> 01:07:09,000
path where I was
527
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,000
like, I want to
528
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,041
do everything in
529
01:07:12,041 --> 01:07:13,916
my power in any
530
01:07:13,916 --> 01:07:14,416
way, shape or
531
01:07:14,416 --> 01:07:15,250
form to work with
532
01:07:15,250 --> 01:07:15,833
these animals,
533
01:07:15,833 --> 01:07:16,541
whatever it is. I
534
01:07:16,541 --> 01:07:17,000
want to do it.
535
01:07:17,166 --> 01:07:17,833
Right. Yeah. Did
536
01:07:17,833 --> 01:07:18,375
you? Now, did you
537
01:07:18,375 --> 01:07:19,000
did you grow up
538
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:19,541
near the ocean?
539
01:07:20,166 --> 01:07:21,666
So no, if only
540
01:07:21,666 --> 01:07:22,125
enough. I mean,
541
01:07:22,125 --> 01:07:22,625
the UK is
542
01:07:22,625 --> 01:07:23,583
obviously not a
543
01:07:23,583 --> 01:07:24,500
not a
544
01:07:24,500 --> 01:07:25,291
particularly big
545
01:07:25,291 --> 01:07:25,791
place. So you
546
01:07:25,791 --> 01:07:26,500
don't have to go
547
01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:27,500
too far to get to
548
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:27,708
the ocean.
549
01:07:27,791 --> 01:07:28,875
But I couldn't
550
01:07:28,875 --> 01:07:29,625
have been further
551
01:07:29,625 --> 01:07:30,500
away from the
552
01:07:30,500 --> 01:07:31,666
ocean where I
553
01:07:31,666 --> 01:07:32,416
grew up. It was
554
01:07:32,416 --> 01:07:34,541
just north of a
555
01:07:34,541 --> 01:07:35,000
city called
556
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:35,625
Birmingham. So
557
01:07:35,625 --> 01:07:36,708
slap bang right
558
01:07:36,708 --> 01:07:37,208
in the middle of
559
01:07:37,208 --> 01:07:39,208
the UK. So yeah,
560
01:07:39,208 --> 01:07:39,875
I was I was
561
01:07:39,875 --> 01:07:40,625
really far,
562
01:07:40,625 --> 01:07:41,375
really, really
563
01:07:41,375 --> 01:07:42,000
far from
564
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:42,750
from the UK.
565
01:07:42,750 --> 01:07:44,291
But as a family,
566
01:07:44,291 --> 01:07:45,875
we used to go on
567
01:07:45,875 --> 01:07:46,708
holidays all the
568
01:07:46,708 --> 01:07:47,791
time down to
569
01:07:47,791 --> 01:07:48,500
Cornwall, which
570
01:07:48,500 --> 01:07:49,000
is where I live
571
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:50,458
now. And that is
572
01:07:50,458 --> 01:07:52,375
a beautiful part
573
01:07:52,375 --> 01:07:54,000
of of England. I
574
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,208
think more more
575
01:07:55,208 --> 01:07:56,333
people who come
576
01:07:56,333 --> 01:07:56,875
to visit England
577
01:07:56,875 --> 01:07:57,375
should come down
578
01:07:57,375 --> 01:07:57,750
to Cornwall
579
01:07:57,750 --> 01:07:58,708
because it's just
580
01:07:58,708 --> 01:07:59,375
it's just a
581
01:07:59,375 --> 01:07:59,875
beautiful place
582
01:07:59,875 --> 01:08:00,125
to live.
583
01:08:00,416 --> 01:08:00,708
I've actually
584
01:08:00,708 --> 01:08:01,250
been there so I
585
01:08:01,250 --> 01:08:02,083
can attest to
586
01:08:02,083 --> 01:08:03,416
that. So so
587
01:08:03,416 --> 01:08:04,375
awesome. Yeah.
588
01:08:04,541 --> 01:08:04,750
Did you
589
01:08:04,750 --> 01:08:05,250
whereabouts you
590
01:08:05,250 --> 01:08:06,000
went about to go,
591
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:06,500
Dave? Can you
592
01:08:06,500 --> 01:08:07,625
remember? Yeah,
593
01:08:07,625 --> 01:08:08,083
I'm trying to
594
01:08:08,083 --> 01:08:08,500
remember the guy.
595
01:08:08,916 --> 01:08:09,708
Well, Mark Mark
596
01:08:09,708 --> 01:08:10,833
Dando lives there
597
01:08:10,833 --> 01:08:11,208
in Plymouth.
598
01:08:11,250 --> 01:08:13,166
OK, yeah. So I go
599
01:08:13,166 --> 01:08:13,666
down and he does
600
01:08:13,666 --> 01:08:14,375
the illustrations
601
01:08:14,375 --> 01:08:16,041
for the books him
602
01:08:16,041 --> 01:08:16,291
and I
603
01:08:16,291 --> 01:08:16,791
collaborating a
604
01:08:16,791 --> 01:08:18,083
lot. Yeah. And I
605
01:08:18,083 --> 01:08:18,708
was out visiting
606
01:08:18,708 --> 01:08:19,416
him. I was
607
01:08:19,416 --> 01:08:20,166
probably 10 years
608
01:08:20,166 --> 01:08:21,416
ago now. We went
609
01:08:21,416 --> 01:08:21,833
out there and
610
01:08:21,833 --> 01:08:22,750
there's a guy who
611
01:08:22,750 --> 01:08:23,750
who who's a
612
01:08:23,750 --> 01:08:24,583
writer who lives
613
01:08:24,583 --> 01:08:26,083
in Cornwall. And
614
01:08:26,083 --> 01:08:27,708
we went to a I'm
615
01:08:27,708 --> 01:08:28,625
trying to jog my
616
01:08:28,625 --> 01:08:29,208
memory of the name of the place.
617
01:08:29,250 --> 01:08:30,333
There's the first
618
01:08:30,333 --> 01:08:30,875
time I've been to
619
01:08:30,875 --> 01:08:31,583
down to Cornwall,
620
01:08:31,583 --> 01:08:31,916
but there's a
621
01:08:31,916 --> 01:08:32,333
there's an
622
01:08:32,333 --> 01:08:33,250
amazing pub there
623
01:08:33,250 --> 01:08:33,625
that was just
624
01:08:33,625 --> 01:08:34,958
such a traditional
625
01:08:34,958 --> 01:08:35,958
English pub.
626
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:37,166
Yeah, I forget. I
627
01:08:37,166 --> 01:08:37,666
forget the name
628
01:08:37,666 --> 01:08:38,916
of the guy. I've
629
01:08:38,916 --> 01:08:39,500
known this guy
630
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:40,166
for a while. I
631
01:08:40,166 --> 01:08:40,875
forgot I haven't
632
01:08:40,875 --> 01:08:41,416
thought about him
633
01:08:41,416 --> 01:08:42,166
till he brought
634
01:08:42,166 --> 01:08:42,875
this up. But
635
01:08:42,875 --> 01:08:44,125
yeah, I can
636
01:08:44,125 --> 01:08:44,750
attest. Cornwall
637
01:08:44,750 --> 01:08:45,541
was beautiful. I
638
01:08:45,541 --> 01:08:46,166
really enjoyed
639
01:08:46,166 --> 01:08:46,750
the trip down
640
01:08:46,750 --> 01:08:47,500
there. It was
641
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:48,375
amazing pub. We
642
01:08:48,375 --> 01:08:49,125
went to like for
643
01:08:49,125 --> 01:08:49,541
me, it was just
644
01:08:49,541 --> 01:08:49,791
like a
645
01:08:49,791 --> 01:08:50,208
traditional
646
01:08:50,208 --> 01:08:51,625
English pub. We
647
01:08:51,625 --> 01:08:52,625
had the whole the
648
01:08:52,625 --> 01:08:53,666
whole nine yards,
649
01:08:53,666 --> 01:08:54,250
the bangers and
650
01:08:54,250 --> 01:08:55,208
mash and all the
651
01:08:55,208 --> 01:08:57,083
usual. Yeah,
652
01:08:57,083 --> 01:08:58,166
pints pints and
653
01:08:58,166 --> 01:08:59,000
fish and chips.
654
01:08:59,000 --> 01:08:59,500
And the bangers
655
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:00,208
and mash and all
656
01:09:00,208 --> 01:09:01,333
sorts. Yeah.
657
01:09:01,958 --> 01:09:03,208
Yeah. And so,
658
01:09:03,208 --> 01:09:03,625
yeah, it's
659
01:09:03,625 --> 01:09:04,500
definitely a good
660
01:09:04,500 --> 01:09:06,041
place to say it's
661
01:09:06,041 --> 01:09:06,708
a pretty place. I
662
01:09:06,708 --> 01:09:07,583
definitely. Oh,
663
01:09:07,583 --> 01:09:08,250
and do you know
664
01:09:08,250 --> 01:09:08,791
what? The great
665
01:09:08,791 --> 01:09:09,458
thing as well is
666
01:09:09,458 --> 01:09:10,416
we we we get
667
01:09:10,416 --> 01:09:10,916
sharks here,
668
01:09:10,916 --> 01:09:11,583
which is awesome.
669
01:09:11,583 --> 01:09:13,000
I mean, lots of
670
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:13,458
people that I
671
01:09:13,458 --> 01:09:13,875
speak to
672
01:09:13,875 --> 01:09:15,416
sometimes forget
673
01:09:15,416 --> 01:09:17,041
that I could
674
01:09:17,041 --> 01:09:17,666
literally swim
675
01:09:17,666 --> 01:09:19,041
out off the beach
676
01:09:19,041 --> 01:09:20,000
from here where I
677
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:20,583
live in Falmouth
678
01:09:20,583 --> 01:09:21,833
and probably see
679
01:09:21,833 --> 01:09:22,500
a shark, which is
680
01:09:22,500 --> 01:09:23,458
really cool. You
681
01:09:23,458 --> 01:09:24,166
know who else
682
01:09:24,166 --> 01:09:24,833
lives down your
683
01:09:24,833 --> 01:09:25,916
way is. Do you
684
01:09:25,916 --> 01:09:26,666
know John who
685
01:09:26,666 --> 01:09:27,458
John Stevens is?
686
01:09:28,208 --> 01:09:28,791
John Stevens, the
687
01:09:28,791 --> 01:09:29,416
name does ring a
688
01:09:29,416 --> 01:09:30,208
bell. He was
689
01:09:30,208 --> 01:09:31,083
well, he worked.
690
01:09:31,083 --> 01:09:31,625
He did. He most
691
01:09:31,625 --> 01:09:32,166
of his career. He
692
01:09:32,166 --> 01:09:33,333
spent working for
693
01:09:33,333 --> 01:09:35,333
CSRO in
694
01:09:35,333 --> 01:09:36,416
Australia. Okay.
695
01:09:36,416 --> 01:09:37,291
Yeah. Yeah. But
696
01:09:37,291 --> 01:09:37,833
he's originally
697
01:09:37,833 --> 01:09:38,375
from Plymouth.
698
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,416
How is he? Yeah,
699
01:09:40,416 --> 01:09:41,333
he retired. John
700
01:09:41,333 --> 01:09:42,166
retired about
701
01:09:42,166 --> 01:09:42,791
Christ been
702
01:09:42,791 --> 01:09:43,791
almost 15 years
703
01:09:43,791 --> 01:09:44,583
now. He retired
704
01:09:44,583 --> 01:09:46,166
from CSRO. And so
705
01:09:46,166 --> 01:09:46,833
he spends half
706
01:09:46,833 --> 01:09:47,500
the year in
707
01:09:47,500 --> 01:09:48,625
Plymouth and half
708
01:09:48,625 --> 01:09:49,166
the year in
709
01:09:49,166 --> 01:09:50,333
Tasmania. He
710
01:09:50,333 --> 01:09:50,916
literally lives
711
01:09:50,916 --> 01:09:51,625
the endless
712
01:09:51,625 --> 01:09:53,000
summer. Yeah,
713
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,000
that is that's
714
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:54,875
the dream right
715
01:09:54,875 --> 01:09:55,333
there. That's the
716
01:09:55,333 --> 01:09:56,166
dream. Yeah.
717
01:09:56,916 --> 01:09:57,791
John John wrote
718
01:09:57,791 --> 01:09:58,666
the he co-wrote
719
01:09:58,666 --> 01:09:59,833
the sharks and
720
01:09:59,833 --> 01:10:00,166
rays of
721
01:10:00,166 --> 01:10:01,125
Australia, which
722
01:10:01,125 --> 01:10:02,416
is a massive tome
723
01:10:02,416 --> 01:10:02,958
originally in
724
01:10:02,958 --> 01:10:04,041
1994. And then he
725
01:10:04,041 --> 01:10:05,250
did a re re
726
01:10:05,250 --> 01:10:06,500
publication of it
727
01:10:06,500 --> 01:10:07,541
in a new version
728
01:10:07,541 --> 01:10:09,250
in 2009. But
729
01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:10,416
anyway, yeah,
730
01:10:10,416 --> 01:10:10,875
John's one of the
731
01:10:10,875 --> 01:10:11,500
legends in the
732
01:10:11,500 --> 01:10:12,041
field. If you
733
01:10:12,041 --> 01:10:13,000
ever have a
734
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:13,500
chance to meet
735
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:14,916
him, he's a man.
736
01:10:14,916 --> 01:10:15,208
He's like a
737
01:10:15,208 --> 01:10:15,458
walking
738
01:10:15,458 --> 01:10:16,166
encyclopedia.
739
01:10:16,166 --> 01:10:18,083
Yeah, guys. But
740
01:10:18,083 --> 01:10:19,458
yeah, he retired
741
01:10:19,458 --> 01:10:20,666
about probably
742
01:10:20,666 --> 01:10:21,458
close 15 years
743
01:10:21,458 --> 01:10:22,875
ago now. But a
744
01:10:22,875 --> 01:10:23,250
lot of cool
745
01:10:23,250 --> 01:10:23,750
people in
746
01:10:23,750 --> 01:10:24,458
Plymouth as well.
747
01:10:24,458 --> 01:10:25,166
Like you got the
748
01:10:25,166 --> 01:10:25,625
sharp trust
749
01:10:25,625 --> 01:10:26,291
base there.
750
01:10:26,375 --> 01:10:27,791
Yeah, David Sims,
751
01:10:27,791 --> 01:10:29,000
I think was was
752
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,000
was in. Yeah, he
753
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:31,916
was there. I
754
01:10:31,916 --> 01:10:32,458
don't think he's
755
01:10:32,458 --> 01:10:32,958
still there as
756
01:10:32,958 --> 01:10:33,791
far as I probably
757
01:10:33,791 --> 01:10:35,416
I am not sure why
758
01:10:35,416 --> 01:10:36,291
I mean, I visited
759
01:10:36,291 --> 01:10:37,833
with Paul Cox and
760
01:10:37,833 --> 01:10:38,833
Allie Hood crew
761
01:10:38,833 --> 01:10:40,458
down there at the
762
01:10:40,458 --> 01:10:41,166
shark trust and
763
01:10:41,166 --> 01:10:42,000
everything. So
764
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:42,791
yeah, it's
765
01:10:42,791 --> 01:10:43,250
definitely a nice
766
01:10:43,250 --> 01:10:43,750
part of the
767
01:10:43,750 --> 01:10:44,333
country to go
768
01:10:44,333 --> 01:10:45,041
when you're here
769
01:10:45,041 --> 01:10:46,166
in the UK. It's a
770
01:10:46,166 --> 01:10:47,041
nice place to go.
771
01:10:47,291 --> 01:10:48,666
It's just a bit
772
01:10:48,666 --> 01:10:49,583
of a trek, isn't
773
01:10:49,583 --> 01:10:51,125
it? Like a lot of
774
01:10:51,125 --> 01:10:51,625
people go into
775
01:10:51,625 --> 01:10:52,166
London, they
776
01:10:52,166 --> 01:10:52,625
stick around
777
01:10:52,625 --> 01:10:53,375
London and maybe
778
01:10:53,375 --> 01:10:53,875
the countryside
779
01:10:53,875 --> 01:10:54,750
around it. But
780
01:10:54,750 --> 01:10:55,500
you know, to get
781
01:10:55,500 --> 01:10:55,833
down to
782
01:10:55,833 --> 01:10:56,333
Cornwall, it's a
783
01:10:56,375 --> 01:10:57,000
little bit of a
784
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,625
trek. But like a
785
01:10:58,625 --> 01:10:59,458
drive from London
786
01:10:59,458 --> 01:11:00,250
down to if you
787
01:11:00,250 --> 01:11:01,416
drove from from
788
01:11:01,416 --> 01:11:02,000
London, you're
789
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:02,541
probably talking
790
01:11:02,541 --> 01:11:03,458
about six hours
791
01:11:03,458 --> 01:11:04,083
about the same
792
01:11:04,083 --> 01:11:04,458
time on the
793
01:11:04,458 --> 01:11:05,041
train, but you
794
01:11:05,041 --> 01:11:06,125
can fly down so
795
01:11:06,125 --> 01:11:07,166
you can fly from
796
01:11:07,166 --> 01:11:08,041
Heathrow Airport
797
01:11:08,041 --> 01:11:08,750
and you'll fly
798
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:09,500
into Nuki Airport
799
01:11:09,500 --> 01:11:10,250
and flights only
800
01:11:10,250 --> 01:11:11,250
about 45 minutes.
801
01:11:11,250 --> 01:11:11,708
It's not
802
01:11:11,708 --> 01:11:12,791
that far to lie.
803
01:11:13,083 --> 01:11:13,625
Up and down.
804
01:11:13,625 --> 01:11:13,958
You're good.
805
01:11:14,208 --> 01:11:14,916
Yeah, I think
806
01:11:14,916 --> 01:11:15,416
Cornwall, I
807
01:11:15,416 --> 01:11:15,875
forget, but I
808
01:11:15,875 --> 01:11:16,541
think Plymouth
809
01:11:16,541 --> 01:11:17,083
was about three
810
01:11:17,083 --> 01:11:17,791
or four hours
811
01:11:17,791 --> 01:11:18,416
drive. Yeah.
812
01:11:18,958 --> 01:11:19,500
Yeah. I mean,
813
01:11:19,500 --> 01:11:20,250
where I am, you
814
01:11:20,250 --> 01:11:20,791
just it just
815
01:11:20,791 --> 01:11:21,625
keeps going down.
816
01:11:21,625 --> 01:11:22,000
You just keep
817
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:22,500
going down.
818
01:11:23,250 --> 01:11:23,666
Right. Yeah.
819
01:11:23,666 --> 01:11:24,166
Yeah. I mean, I
820
01:11:24,166 --> 01:11:24,583
went down to
821
01:11:24,583 --> 01:11:25,125
Plymouth. Then we
822
01:11:25,125 --> 01:11:25,791
just went did a
823
01:11:25,791 --> 01:11:26,333
day trip down to the airport.
824
01:11:26,375 --> 01:11:26,833
And then we went down to Cornwall.
825
01:11:27,083 --> 01:11:27,750
So but actually
826
01:11:27,750 --> 01:11:28,166
another person
827
01:11:28,166 --> 01:11:28,791
kind of
828
01:11:28,791 --> 01:11:29,250
reminiscing we
829
01:11:29,250 --> 01:11:30,000
got Sarah Fowler
830
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:31,375
lives. Oh, yeah.
831
01:11:31,375 --> 01:11:32,208
Yeah. Yeah. And
832
01:11:32,208 --> 01:11:32,750
Plymouth there as
833
01:11:32,750 --> 01:11:33,583
well. Another has
834
01:11:33,583 --> 01:11:34,291
been on the show
835
01:11:34,291 --> 01:11:36,458
as well. So
836
01:11:36,458 --> 01:11:37,416
you're kind of in
837
01:11:37,416 --> 01:11:39,041
a hotbed of shark
838
01:11:39,041 --> 01:11:39,833
people here. I
839
01:11:39,833 --> 01:11:40,875
had no idea. Like
840
01:11:40,875 --> 01:11:41,666
so you're kind of
841
01:11:41,666 --> 01:11:43,208
in a was this
842
01:11:43,208 --> 01:11:43,708
strategically
843
01:11:43,708 --> 01:11:45,000
planned to wind
844
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,125
up in Cornwall in
845
01:11:47,125 --> 01:11:48,375
a hot? Well, I
846
01:11:48,375 --> 01:11:49,833
mean, we we were
847
01:11:49,833 --> 01:11:51,291
as as a family,
848
01:11:51,500 --> 01:11:51,958
you know, my
849
01:11:51,958 --> 01:11:53,000
parents took me
850
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:53,875
down to Cornwall
851
01:11:53,875 --> 01:11:55,500
ever since I can
852
01:11:55,500 --> 01:11:56,291
ever remember.
853
01:11:56,375 --> 01:11:57,541
So I had that I
854
01:11:57,541 --> 01:11:58,125
already had a bit
855
01:11:58,125 --> 01:11:59,041
of an affinity to
856
01:11:59,041 --> 01:11:59,625
the place because
857
01:11:59,625 --> 01:12:00,625
I knew I knew
858
01:12:00,625 --> 01:12:01,083
some places
859
01:12:01,083 --> 01:12:01,541
around Cornwall.
860
01:12:01,833 --> 01:12:03,083
But the main
861
01:12:03,083 --> 01:12:04,041
reason that I
862
01:12:04,041 --> 01:12:04,500
ended up down
863
01:12:04,500 --> 01:12:05,791
here was was was
864
01:12:05,791 --> 01:12:06,041
coming to
865
01:12:06,041 --> 01:12:06,666
university here.
866
01:12:06,958 --> 01:12:08,250
So the University
867
01:12:08,250 --> 01:12:09,083
of Exeter, extra
868
01:12:09,083 --> 01:12:09,750
technically is a
869
01:12:09,750 --> 01:12:10,000
little bit
870
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:10,500
further up the
871
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:11,166
country. But the
872
01:12:11,166 --> 01:12:11,958
campus that I was
873
01:12:11,958 --> 01:12:12,708
at was the Penrin
874
01:12:12,708 --> 01:12:13,708
campus, which is
875
01:12:13,708 --> 01:12:14,500
here in Falmouth,
876
01:12:14,833 --> 01:12:16,250
Danikle. So yeah,
877
01:12:16,250 --> 01:12:16,708
it's kind of like
878
01:12:16,708 --> 01:12:17,750
a split campus.
879
01:12:17,750 --> 01:12:18,375
So extra the
880
01:12:18,375 --> 01:12:19,125
Strepham campuses
881
01:12:19,125 --> 01:12:20,000
is up sort of
882
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,041
Devon way. And
883
01:12:21,041 --> 01:12:22,208
then, yeah, the
884
01:12:22,208 --> 01:12:22,833
Penrin campuses
885
01:12:22,833 --> 01:12:24,041
is down here in
886
01:12:24,041 --> 01:12:25,083
in Falmouth. So.
887
01:12:25,416 --> 01:12:26,875
Now, Exeter has
888
01:12:26,875 --> 01:12:27,833
some pretty big
889
01:12:27,833 --> 01:12:29,000
celebrities that
890
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:29,583
have got Peter
891
01:12:29,583 --> 01:12:30,875
Mumbi is one that
892
01:12:30,875 --> 01:12:31,458
comes to mind.
893
01:12:31,708 --> 01:12:33,625
He's he's now in
894
01:12:33,625 --> 01:12:34,833
University of
895
01:12:34,833 --> 01:12:35,583
Queensland, I
896
01:12:35,583 --> 01:12:36,916
think, or he's in
897
01:12:36,916 --> 01:12:38,291
Brisbane. But but
898
01:12:38,291 --> 01:12:39,083
he I remember
899
01:12:39,083 --> 01:12:39,625
that's where I
900
01:12:39,625 --> 01:12:40,375
first learned of
901
01:12:40,375 --> 01:12:41,000
the University of
902
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:41,458
Exeter. But
903
01:12:41,458 --> 01:12:41,916
there's been a
904
01:12:41,916 --> 01:12:42,791
lot of great
905
01:12:42,791 --> 01:12:43,875
scientists that
906
01:12:43,875 --> 01:12:44,458
have come out
907
01:12:44,458 --> 01:12:44,833
there that
908
01:12:44,833 --> 01:12:45,375
continue to
909
01:12:45,375 --> 01:12:45,916
work there.
910
01:12:46,708 --> 01:12:48,500
Was that when you
911
01:12:48,500 --> 01:12:49,125
went to that
912
01:12:49,125 --> 01:12:50,000
university, was
913
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:50,708
that something
914
01:12:50,708 --> 01:12:51,541
that appealed to
915
01:12:51,541 --> 01:12:52,833
you? Or was it
916
01:12:52,833 --> 01:12:53,333
just always
917
01:12:53,333 --> 01:12:54,500
strong in marine
918
01:12:54,500 --> 01:12:55,958
science? I think
919
01:12:55,958 --> 01:12:56,958
I initially I
920
01:12:56,958 --> 01:12:57,750
looked at it as
921
01:12:57,750 --> 01:12:58,458
because I went to
922
01:12:58,458 --> 01:12:59,208
look at a bunch
923
01:12:59,208 --> 01:12:59,916
of different news
924
01:12:59,916 --> 01:13:01,708
and had a few
925
01:13:01,708 --> 01:13:02,458
that I was
926
01:13:02,458 --> 01:13:03,125
considering. But
927
01:13:03,125 --> 01:13:04,791
when I came down
928
01:13:04,791 --> 01:13:05,500
here already
929
01:13:05,500 --> 01:13:06,500
knowing Cornwall
930
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:07,666
as a place, but
931
01:13:07,666 --> 01:13:08,208
then coming to
932
01:13:08,208 --> 01:13:08,708
the university
933
01:13:08,708 --> 01:13:09,916
and seeing some
934
01:13:09,916 --> 01:13:10,375
of the lectures
935
01:13:10,375 --> 01:13:11,291
and seeing some
936
01:13:11,291 --> 01:13:11,875
of the facilities
937
01:13:11,875 --> 01:13:12,416
that they had.
938
01:13:12,416 --> 01:13:12,750
And I was just
939
01:13:12,750 --> 01:13:14,250
like, I don't
940
01:13:14,250 --> 01:13:14,750
even want to go
941
01:13:14,750 --> 01:13:15,166
anywhere else.
942
01:13:15,166 --> 01:13:15,583
This is where I
943
01:13:15,583 --> 01:13:15,958
want to go.
944
01:13:15,958 --> 01:13:16,583
I remember coming
945
01:13:16,583 --> 01:13:18,625
to the day I
946
01:13:18,625 --> 01:13:18,916
can't remember
947
01:13:18,916 --> 01:13:19,416
what it is where
948
01:13:19,416 --> 01:13:20,291
you look around
949
01:13:20,291 --> 01:13:22,083
for the day. And
950
01:13:22,083 --> 01:13:22,666
at that point, I
951
01:13:22,666 --> 01:13:23,708
hadn't hadn't had
952
01:13:23,708 --> 01:13:24,166
my A level
953
01:13:24,166 --> 01:13:25,000
results yet. So I
954
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:25,375
didn't know
955
01:13:25,375 --> 01:13:25,875
whether I'd got
956
01:13:25,875 --> 01:13:29,375
the scores or
957
01:13:29,375 --> 01:13:29,875
whatever it was
958
01:13:29,875 --> 01:13:30,500
to get into the
959
01:13:30,500 --> 01:13:31,833
uni. But I was
960
01:13:31,833 --> 01:13:32,708
like, I know,
961
01:13:32,708 --> 01:13:33,083
I've got to go
962
01:13:33,083 --> 01:13:33,708
here. This is
963
01:13:33,708 --> 01:13:34,291
this is where I
964
01:13:34,291 --> 01:13:34,625
want to go. I
965
01:13:34,625 --> 01:13:34,916
don't want to go
966
01:13:34,916 --> 01:13:35,833
anywhere else. So
967
01:13:35,833 --> 01:13:37,166
at that point in
968
01:13:37,166 --> 01:13:38,000
time, though,
969
01:13:38,791 --> 01:13:39,666
their sort of
970
01:13:39,666 --> 01:13:40,958
marine department
971
01:13:40,958 --> 01:13:42,541
wasn't really
972
01:13:42,541 --> 01:13:43,458
properly fully
973
01:13:43,458 --> 01:13:43,958
fledged yet.
974
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,916
It was only as I
975
01:13:45,916 --> 01:13:46,625
was sort of going
976
01:13:46,625 --> 01:13:47,125
back probably
977
01:13:47,125 --> 01:13:47,583
about midway
978
01:13:47,583 --> 01:13:49,000
through my
979
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:49,541
undergraduate
980
01:13:49,541 --> 01:13:51,250
degree, the sort
981
01:13:51,250 --> 01:13:51,625
of marine
982
01:13:51,625 --> 01:13:52,625
department really
983
01:13:52,625 --> 01:13:54,583
started to grow
984
01:13:54,583 --> 01:13:55,125
quite
985
01:13:55,125 --> 01:13:55,666
considerably.
986
01:13:55,666 --> 01:13:56,250
There's a lot of
987
01:13:56,250 --> 01:13:57,208
there was a lot
988
01:13:57,208 --> 01:13:57,625
of turtle
989
01:13:57,625 --> 01:13:58,916
researchers. So
990
01:13:58,916 --> 01:14:00,375
Brendan Godley,
991
01:14:00,375 --> 01:14:01,333
who was my
992
01:14:01,333 --> 01:14:02,375
supervisor and
993
01:14:02,375 --> 01:14:03,500
good friend, he
994
01:14:03,500 --> 01:14:04,333
really
995
01:14:04,333 --> 01:14:04,750
specialized
996
01:14:04,750 --> 01:14:05,291
around turtles.
997
01:14:05,541 --> 01:14:06,500
But so there was
998
01:14:06,500 --> 01:14:07,083
a lot of turtle
999
01:14:07,083 --> 01:14:07,625
people at the
1000
01:14:07,625 --> 01:14:08,708
Uni, but not that
1001
01:14:08,708 --> 01:14:09,125
many sharp
1002
01:14:09,125 --> 01:14:10,166
people. And then
1003
01:14:10,166 --> 01:14:10,791
it just started
1004
01:14:10,791 --> 01:14:11,666
to grow a little
1005
01:14:11,666 --> 01:14:12,666
bit. And now
1006
01:14:12,666 --> 01:14:14,333
Exeter Marine is
1007
01:14:14,333 --> 01:14:16,208
quite a is quite
1008
01:14:16,208 --> 01:14:17,291
a sort of place.
1009
01:14:17,291 --> 01:14:17,666
People people
1010
01:14:17,666 --> 01:14:18,166
look at the field
1011
01:14:18,166 --> 01:14:18,666
courses, they
1012
01:14:18,666 --> 01:14:18,916
look at the
1013
01:14:18,916 --> 01:14:19,500
lectures, they
1014
01:14:19,500 --> 01:14:20,041
look at the
1015
01:14:20,041 --> 01:14:21,083
course content
1016
01:14:21,083 --> 01:14:22,500
and go, well,
1017
01:14:22,500 --> 01:14:23,000
that's that's
1018
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:23,750
that's a that's a
1019
01:14:23,750 --> 01:14:24,583
cool place to go.
1020
01:14:24,916 --> 01:14:25,541
Yeah, I can
1021
01:14:25,541 --> 01:14:26,000
imagine.
1022
01:14:26,458 --> 01:14:27,041
We've had a few
1023
01:14:27,041 --> 01:14:27,458
people on the
1024
01:14:27,458 --> 01:14:28,041
show and who have
1025
01:14:28,041 --> 01:14:28,291
been to
1026
01:14:28,291 --> 01:14:28,916
University of
1027
01:14:28,916 --> 01:14:29,708
Exeter. I think
1028
01:14:29,708 --> 01:14:30,916
you had a Joanna
1029
01:14:30,916 --> 01:14:32,666
Alfaro has been
1030
01:14:32,666 --> 01:14:33,083
it was on the
1031
01:14:33,083 --> 01:14:34,041
show from a crew.
1032
01:14:34,041 --> 01:14:34,666
She was she went
1033
01:14:34,666 --> 01:14:35,041
there. And I
1034
01:14:35,041 --> 01:14:36,500
think Rachel
1035
01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:37,583
Rachel Graham,
1036
01:14:37,583 --> 01:14:37,875
we'll have to
1037
01:14:37,875 --> 01:14:38,416
check with her. I
1038
01:14:38,416 --> 01:14:38,833
think she might
1039
01:14:38,833 --> 01:14:39,083
have gone
1040
01:14:39,083 --> 01:14:39,666
there, too.
1041
01:14:40,750 --> 01:14:41,333
Anyway, you had a
1042
01:14:41,333 --> 01:14:41,833
number of people
1043
01:14:41,833 --> 01:14:42,916
that were that
1044
01:14:42,916 --> 01:14:43,500
we've had on the
1045
01:14:43,500 --> 01:14:44,458
show. It's quite
1046
01:14:44,458 --> 01:14:45,083
I don't I didn't
1047
01:14:45,083 --> 01:14:45,666
know much about
1048
01:14:45,666 --> 01:14:47,000
her, like talking
1049
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:47,833
to you and stuff.
1050
01:14:47,833 --> 01:14:49,000
It comes up. It's
1051
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:49,250
one of the
1052
01:14:49,250 --> 01:14:50,000
universities in
1053
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:50,500
England that
1054
01:14:50,500 --> 01:14:51,166
comes up quite
1055
01:14:51,166 --> 01:14:51,416
quite
1056
01:14:51,416 --> 01:14:52,333
frequently. Yeah.
1057
01:14:52,916 --> 01:14:53,458
Yeah. So
1058
01:14:53,458 --> 01:14:53,708
hopefully
1059
01:14:53,708 --> 01:14:54,583
Cornwall and
1060
01:14:54,583 --> 01:14:55,333
Exeter will give
1061
01:14:55,333 --> 01:14:55,833
us like, oh,
1062
01:14:55,833 --> 01:14:56,708
maybe maybe help
1063
01:14:56,708 --> 01:14:57,291
sponsor some
1064
01:14:57,291 --> 01:14:58,125
shows. Right.
1065
01:15:00,166 --> 01:15:00,791
I want to get
1066
01:15:00,791 --> 01:15:01,500
paid paid
1067
01:15:01,500 --> 01:15:02,041
for that.
1068
01:15:02,791 --> 01:15:03,500
Yeah, exactly.
1069
01:15:03,500 --> 01:15:05,000
Extra promotion.
1070
01:15:05,458 --> 01:15:06,041
Swing by the
1071
01:15:06,041 --> 01:15:06,666
tourist office
1072
01:15:06,666 --> 01:15:07,333
today and like
1073
01:15:07,333 --> 01:15:09,500
tell me you got a
1074
01:15:09,500 --> 01:15:10,000
hot scoop
1075
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:10,333
for him.
1076
01:15:10,333 --> 01:15:11,041
Yeah, Brendan, if
1077
01:15:11,041 --> 01:15:11,583
you're watching,
1078
01:15:11,833 --> 01:15:12,708
I want some
1079
01:15:12,708 --> 01:15:13,458
royalties there.
1080
01:15:13,791 --> 01:15:16,000
But you mentioned
1081
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:16,458
earlier,
1082
01:15:16,458 --> 01:15:16,791
Christian, that
1083
01:15:16,791 --> 01:15:17,625
like you swim out
1084
01:15:17,625 --> 01:15:18,166
from the beach
1085
01:15:18,166 --> 01:15:18,708
and you can
1086
01:15:18,708 --> 01:15:19,291
probably bump
1087
01:15:19,291 --> 01:15:19,958
into a shark.
1088
01:15:20,125 --> 01:15:21,833
Yeah. Is that a
1089
01:15:21,833 --> 01:15:22,416
known thing?
1090
01:15:22,625 --> 01:15:22,875
Because, you
1091
01:15:22,875 --> 01:15:23,250
know, when you
1092
01:15:23,250 --> 01:15:23,958
think of the UK,
1093
01:15:23,958 --> 01:15:24,291
you don't think
1094
01:15:24,291 --> 01:15:24,666
of sharks.
1095
01:15:24,666 --> 01:15:24,958
We think of
1096
01:15:24,958 --> 01:15:25,458
Australia, you
1097
01:15:25,458 --> 01:15:25,750
think of
1098
01:15:25,750 --> 01:15:26,291
sharks, right?
1099
01:15:26,291 --> 01:15:26,875
When you think of
1100
01:15:26,875 --> 01:15:27,916
like California,
1101
01:15:27,916 --> 01:15:28,458
the West Coast or
1102
01:15:28,458 --> 01:15:28,833
even the East
1103
01:15:28,833 --> 01:15:29,416
Coast of the US,
1104
01:15:29,666 --> 01:15:30,166
you think of
1105
01:15:30,166 --> 01:15:31,500
sharks, Canada, a
1106
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:32,166
little bit here
1107
01:15:32,166 --> 01:15:32,500
and there.
1108
01:15:32,500 --> 01:15:32,833
We're starting to
1109
01:15:32,833 --> 01:15:33,458
get more and more
1110
01:15:33,458 --> 01:15:34,416
like great whites
1111
01:15:34,416 --> 01:15:35,416
and things from
1112
01:15:35,416 --> 01:15:35,833
from most of us
1113
01:15:35,833 --> 01:15:36,291
that we've seen.
1114
01:15:37,041 --> 01:15:37,250
Is that
1115
01:15:37,250 --> 01:15:38,625
within the UK?
1116
01:15:39,166 --> 01:15:40,375
Do people know a
1117
01:15:40,375 --> 01:15:41,083
lot about sharks?
1118
01:15:41,083 --> 01:15:41,375
Is it a
1119
01:15:41,375 --> 01:15:42,250
big topic?
1120
01:15:42,250 --> 01:15:42,500
Is it a
1121
01:15:42,500 --> 01:15:43,000
big worry?
1122
01:15:43,291 --> 01:15:44,083
Is it a big like
1123
01:15:44,083 --> 01:15:44,625
fascination
1124
01:15:44,625 --> 01:15:45,416
with people?
1125
01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:47,333
You know, just,
1126
01:15:47,750 --> 01:15:47,875
you know, the
1127
01:15:47,875 --> 01:15:48,166
sort of your
1128
01:15:48,166 --> 01:15:49,416
everyday, you
1129
01:15:49,416 --> 01:15:50,041
know, citizen of
1130
01:15:50,041 --> 01:15:51,000
the UK, are they
1131
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:51,791
looking
1132
01:15:51,791 --> 01:15:52,291
at sharks?
1133
01:15:52,291 --> 01:15:52,625
Do they know
1134
01:15:52,625 --> 01:15:53,875
there's there's a
1135
01:15:53,875 --> 01:15:54,291
good amount of
1136
01:15:54,291 --> 01:15:54,625
sharks that
1137
01:15:54,625 --> 01:15:54,916
are around?
1138
01:15:55,125 --> 01:15:56,166
I would say no,
1139
01:15:56,166 --> 01:15:56,916
probably not.
1140
01:15:56,916 --> 01:15:57,375
You know, I'd say
1141
01:15:57,375 --> 01:15:57,583
your
1142
01:15:57,583 --> 01:15:58,583
everyday person.
1143
01:15:59,500 --> 01:16:00,833
I I do an
1144
01:16:00,833 --> 01:16:01,666
occasional shift
1145
01:16:01,666 --> 01:16:02,541
in a pub down
1146
01:16:02,541 --> 01:16:03,166
here in Falmouth
1147
01:16:03,166 --> 01:16:03,458
on a
1148
01:16:03,458 --> 01:16:03,958
Tuesday night.
1149
01:16:04,500 --> 01:16:05,916
And of course,
1150
01:16:05,916 --> 01:16:06,125
I'm always
1151
01:16:06,125 --> 01:16:06,500
talking about
1152
01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:07,083
sharks, people
1153
01:16:07,083 --> 01:16:08,458
and the amount of
1154
01:16:08,458 --> 01:16:08,958
people that come
1155
01:16:08,958 --> 01:16:10,625
in and, you know,
1156
01:16:10,625 --> 01:16:11,000
they find out
1157
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:11,958
what I do and
1158
01:16:11,958 --> 01:16:13,583
they go, oh, we
1159
01:16:13,583 --> 01:16:14,291
get sharks
1160
01:16:14,291 --> 01:16:14,833
in the UK.
1161
01:16:14,833 --> 01:16:15,666
I'm like, yeah,
1162
01:16:15,666 --> 01:16:17,166
there's over 30
1163
01:16:17,166 --> 01:16:18,083
different shark
1164
01:16:18,083 --> 01:16:18,916
and race species
1165
01:16:18,916 --> 01:16:19,958
and you can see
1166
01:16:19,958 --> 01:16:20,666
them literally
1167
01:16:20,666 --> 01:16:21,375
off the beach.
1168
01:16:21,750 --> 01:16:21,958
You know,
1169
01:16:21,958 --> 01:16:22,500
obviously some of
1170
01:16:22,500 --> 01:16:23,041
the some of the
1171
01:16:23,041 --> 01:16:23,666
bigger ones and
1172
01:16:23,666 --> 01:16:24,958
some of the sort
1173
01:16:24,958 --> 01:16:25,458
of more
1174
01:16:25,458 --> 01:16:26,500
stereotypical
1175
01:16:26,500 --> 01:16:27,500
sharks, we should
1176
01:16:27,500 --> 01:16:28,666
say, maybe a bit
1177
01:16:28,666 --> 01:16:29,875
further afield, a
1178
01:16:29,875 --> 01:16:30,500
bit offshore, for
1179
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:31,000
example, blue
1180
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,000
sharks, summer
1181
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:32,250
seasonal
1182
01:16:32,250 --> 01:16:32,750
visitors.
1183
01:16:33,083 --> 01:16:34,291
That's your sort
1184
01:16:34,291 --> 01:16:35,041
of traditional
1185
01:16:35,041 --> 01:16:36,916
kind of shark,
1186
01:16:36,916 --> 01:16:37,333
whereas people
1187
01:16:37,333 --> 01:16:38,583
look at a small
1188
01:16:38,583 --> 01:16:39,375
spot, a cat shark
1189
01:16:39,375 --> 01:16:39,916
or less a
1190
01:16:39,916 --> 01:16:40,625
dogfish, whatever
1191
01:16:40,625 --> 01:16:40,833
you want
1192
01:16:40,833 --> 01:16:41,208
to call it.
1193
01:16:41,250 --> 01:16:41,875
They don't look
1194
01:16:41,875 --> 01:16:42,375
at that and go,
1195
01:16:42,375 --> 01:16:43,291
oh, that's a
1196
01:16:43,291 --> 01:16:43,791
that's a shock.
1197
01:16:44,041 --> 01:16:44,625
But but it is a
1198
01:16:44,625 --> 01:16:45,500
shock. Yeah.
1199
01:16:45,708 --> 01:16:46,333
So when you when
1200
01:16:46,333 --> 01:16:46,958
you explain that
1201
01:16:46,958 --> 01:16:47,333
to people, they
1202
01:16:47,333 --> 01:16:48,541
go, oh, OK, so
1203
01:16:48,541 --> 01:16:49,208
you can you can
1204
01:16:49,208 --> 01:16:49,750
kind of see that
1205
01:16:49,750 --> 01:16:50,500
thing and that's
1206
01:16:50,500 --> 01:16:50,833
a shock.
1207
01:16:50,833 --> 01:16:51,541
And I go, yeah,
1208
01:16:51,541 --> 01:16:52,208
just snorkel up
1209
01:16:52,208 --> 01:16:53,000
the beach and go
1210
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:53,375
and see it.
1211
01:16:53,375 --> 01:16:54,166
There's a there's
1212
01:16:54,166 --> 01:16:56,416

01:17:07,916 --> 01:17:08,541
beach nearby
1226
01:17:08,541 --> 01:17:09,416

1227
01:17:09,416 --> 01:17:10,000
Beach that he

1229
01:17:10,750 --> 01:17:11,541
And he does lots
1230
01:17:11,541 --> 01:17:11,958

01:17:11,958 --> 01:17:12,333

1232
01:17:12,333 --> 01:17:12,833
And he posts it

01:17:12,833 --> 01:17:13,458
to his Instagram
1234
01:17:13,458 --> 01:17:15,750
and he just is so
1235
01:17:15,750 --> 01:17:16,416
good at
1236
01:17:16,416 --> 01:17:17,250
documenting some
1237
01:17:17,250 --> 01:17:18,416
of the amazing
1238
01:17:18,416 --> 01:17:19,000
marine life
1239
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:19,458
that we get.
1240
01:17:19,458 --> 01:17:19,916

1241
01:17:19,916 --> 01:17:20,625

01:17:22,750 --> 01:17:23,041
amazing.
1245
01:17:23,916 --> 01:17:24,625
Yeah, that's
1246
01:17:24,625 --> 01:17:24,750
awesome.
1247
01:17:25,250 --> 01:17:25,666
So great
1248
01:17:25,666 --> 01:17:26,125
to see that.
1249
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:26,833
Well, you got if
1250
01:17:26,833 --> 01:17:27,083
you're into
1251
01:17:27,083 --> 01:17:28,083
skates, you know,
1252
01:17:28,083 --> 01:17:28,958
which I think are
1253
01:17:28,958 --> 01:17:29,583
really cool.
1254
01:17:29,583 --> 01:17:30,541
There's a ton of
1255
01:17:30,541 --> 01:17:31,375
just amazing
1256
01:17:31,375 --> 01:17:33,291
skates around the
1257
01:17:33,291 --> 01:17:34,000
waters there.
1258
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:34,458
It's just some
1259
01:17:34,458 --> 01:17:35,416
deeper living.
1260
01:17:35,625 --> 01:17:36,125
But there's a lot
1261
01:17:36,125 --> 01:17:37,458
that are coastal
1262
01:17:37,458 --> 01:17:38,000
pretty much.
1263
01:17:38,041 --> 01:17:38,666
And, you know,
1264
01:17:39,291 --> 01:17:40,458
and I said, we
1265
01:17:40,458 --> 01:17:40,875
got to do is have
1266
01:17:40,875 --> 01:17:42,333
somebody remember
1267
01:17:42,333 --> 01:17:43,291
the name from the
1268
01:17:43,291 --> 01:17:44,000
shark trust.
1269
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:44,458
Come on, talk
1270
01:17:44,458 --> 01:17:44,958
about the Great
1271
01:17:44,958 --> 01:17:45,625
Egg case on.
1272
01:17:46,125 --> 01:17:47,083
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1273
01:17:47,083 --> 01:17:47,541
There's a good
1274
01:17:47,541 --> 01:17:48,333
good citizen side
1275
01:17:48,333 --> 01:17:49,416
project that Cat
1276
01:17:49,416 --> 01:17:50,208

1278
01:17:50,625 --> 01:17:51,625
Yes, Cat. Yeah.
1279
01:17:51,625 --> 01:17:51,916
I think we were
1280
01:17:51,916 --> 01:17:52,333
going to try to
1281
01:17:52,333 --> 01:17:52,666
have her on
1282
01:17:52,666 --> 01:17:53,333
before, but she's
1283
01:17:53,333 --> 01:17:54,125
having a baby or
1284
01:17:54,125 --> 01:17:54,833
some something
1285
01:17:54,833 --> 01:17:55,500
that was more
1286
01:17:55,500 --> 01:17:55,958
important than
1287
01:17:55,958 --> 01:17:56,333
coming on the
1288
01:17:56,333 --> 01:17:56,916
show at the time.
1289
01:17:56,916 --> 01:17:57,958
But well, that
1290
01:17:57,958 --> 01:17:58,458
will have you on
1291
01:17:58,458 --> 01:17:58,708

1292
01:17:58,708 --> 01:17:59,291
here soon.
1293
01:17:59,291 --> 01:17:59,458
So
1294
01:17:59,458 --> 01:18:02,333
anyway, but so.
1295
01:18:02,791 --> 01:18:03,708
So you got our
1296
01:18:03,708 --> 01:18:04,541
interests early.
1297
01:18:04,708 --> 01:18:05,416
OK, so I got to
1298
01:18:05,416 --> 01:18:05,791
ask you now,
1299
01:18:05,791 --> 01:18:06,208
where'd you go?
1300
01:18:06,208 --> 01:18:06,875
Scuba diving. You
1301
01:18:06,875 --> 01:18:07,458
saw oceanic
1302
01:18:07,458 --> 01:18:08,041
white tips.
1303
01:18:08,666 --> 01:18:09,625
That was off the
1304
01:18:09,625 --> 01:18:10,041
coast of
1305
01:18:10,041 --> 01:18:10,833
Mozambique
1306
01:18:10,833 --> 01:18:12,083
back in.
1307
01:18:12,625 --> 01:18:13,500
Oh, my goodness.
1308
01:18:14,875 --> 01:18:15,125
When are we
1309
01:18:15,125 --> 01:18:15,958

1310
01:18:15,958 --> 01:18:16,166
That was,

01:18:16,166 --> 01:18:17,250
yeah, 2014.
1312
01:18:17,333 --> 01:18:18,000
I think it was maybe
1313
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,708
maybe May 2013.
1314
01:18:20,458 --> 01:18:21,125
I was 11
1315
01:18:21,125 --> 01:18:21,708

1316
01:18:21,708 --> 01:18:22,541
Wasn't that long ago?

we're going to
1321
01:18:27,833 --> 01:18:28,833
get all relative.
1322
01:18:28,833 --> 01:18:29,791
I suppose I saw I
1323
01:18:29,791 --> 01:18:30,791

1327
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:33,416

You see it there

01:18:42,500 --> 01:18:43,166
Yeah. Yeah.
1338
01:18:44,333 --> 01:18:45,166
So Bill, more

work part of
1340
01:18:45,833 --> 01:18:46,333
Mozambique where
1341
01:18:46,333 --> 01:18:46,958
you dive in and
1342
01:18:46,958 --> 01:18:47,250
just your

01:18:47,250 --> 01:18:47,625
goodness.
1344
01:18:48,083 --> 01:18:48,583
There were the
1345
01:18:48,583 --> 01:18:49,875
the island that
1346
01:18:49,875 --> 01:18:50,958
it was was called
1347
01:18:50,958 --> 01:18:52,375
something as you
1348
01:18:52,375 --> 01:18:53,666
as you're.
1349
01:18:53,958 --> 01:18:55,083
We basically we'd
1350
01:18:55,083 --> 01:18:55,583
we'd been on a
1351
01:18:55,583 --> 01:18:56,458
safari for a
1352
01:18:56,458 --> 01:18:57,000
couple of days
1353
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:57,500
and then we'd
1354
01:18:57,500 --> 01:18:58,083
gone and done it
1355
01:18:58,083 --> 01:18:58,375
like a
1356
01:18:58,375 --> 01:18:59,083
beachy side.
1357
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:00,500
Part of the
1358
01:19:00,500 --> 01:19:01,875
holiday and dad
1359
01:19:01,875 --> 01:19:02,500

01:19:02,625 --> 01:19:03,583
try diving?
1362
01:19:03,583 --> 01:19:04,166
And I was like,
1363
01:19:04,166 --> 01:19:05,541
not not really
1364
01:19:05,541 --> 01:19:05,916
good with my
1365
01:19:05,916 --> 01:19:06,541
ears, but
1366
01:19:06,541 --> 01:19:07,375
give it a go.
1367
01:19:07,375 --> 01:19:07,833
And I did the
1368
01:19:07,833 --> 01:19:08,458
thing in the pool
1369
01:19:08,458 --> 01:19:09,000
and then they
1370
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:09,833
take you out with
1371
01:19:09,833 --> 01:19:10,291

01:19:12,083 --> 01:19:12,875
But yeah, I can't

01:19:12,875 --> 01:19:13,791
I can't remember
1375
01:19:13,791 --> 01:19:14,791
the exact place.
1376
01:19:15,250 --> 01:19:15,958
But I have I've

1404
01:19:37,375 --> 01:19:37,666

Yeah. Yeah.
1408
01:19:38,916 --> 01:19:39,250
I mean,
1409
01:19:39,250 --> 01:19:39,791
Mozambique's a
1410
01:19:39,791 --> 01:19:40,416
beautiful country
1411
01:19:40,416 --> 01:19:41,833
and such a such a
1412
01:19:41,833 --> 01:19:42,375
wild place
1413
01:19:42,375 --> 01:19:42,916
to go diving.
1414
01:19:43,625 --> 01:19:44,125
Yeah. Yeah. It's
1415
01:19:44,125 --> 01:19:44,833
amazing. I've
1416
01:19:44,833 --> 01:19:45,416
never. Yeah.
1417
01:19:45,416 --> 01:19:46,750
Well, when I was
1418
01:19:46,750 --> 01:19:47,500
up there, I
1419
01:19:47,500 --> 01:19:47,833
mentioned I was
1420
01:19:47,833 --> 01:19:48,791
on the South
1421
01:19:48,791 --> 01:19:49,333
African side of
1422
01:19:49,333 --> 01:19:49,833
the border when I
1423
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:50,625
was there back in
1424
01:19:50,625 --> 01:19:52,125
the 1980s.
1425
01:19:52,333 --> 01:19:52,833
They were there
1426
01:19:52,833 --> 01:19:53,500
in the Civil War
1427
01:19:53,500 --> 01:19:53,958
at the time.
1428
01:19:53,958 --> 01:19:55,291
And so you sat in
1429
01:19:55,291 --> 01:19:55,833
the boat at night
1430
01:19:55,833 --> 01:19:56,166
and you watched
1431
01:19:56,166 --> 01:19:56,791
Tracer Rockets
1432
01:19:56,791 --> 01:19:57,458
going off in
1433
01:19:57,458 --> 01:19:57,958
Mozambique.
1434
01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:58,583
And then you'd be
1435
01:19:58,583 --> 01:19:59,250
on the wild on
1436
01:19:59,250 --> 01:20:00,125
the South Africa
1437
01:20:00,125 --> 01:20:00,625
side of
1438
01:20:00,625 --> 01:20:01,041
the stuff.
1439
01:20:01,041 --> 01:20:01,541
So it was a very
1440
01:20:01,541 --> 01:20:02,083
different time
1441
01:20:02,083 --> 01:20:03,041
back then. Yeah.
1442
01:20:03,041 --> 01:20:03,625
Yeah. Sure.
1443
01:20:04,041 --> 01:20:04,875
So so but

1445
01:20:05,708 --> 01:20:06,333
But but everybody

01:20:07,708 --> 01:20:08,125
that had been a
1448
01:20:08,125 --> 01:20:08,791
Mozambique just
1449
01:20:08,791 --> 01:20:09,833
raved about how
1450
01:20:09,833 --> 01:20:10,625
beautiful it was
1451
01:20:10,625 --> 01:20:11,000
in the
1452
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:12,083
waters there.
1453
01:20:12,250 --> 01:20:13,083
Yeah, it's just
1454
01:20:13,083 --> 01:20:14,541
wild like that.
1455
01:20:14,541 --> 01:20:15,166
That's how
1456
01:20:15,166 --> 01:20:16,708

1502
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:51,666
might have been
1503
01:20:51,666 --> 01:20:52,291

1504
01:20:52,291 --> 01:20:53,375
and then and then
1505
01:20:53,375 --> 01:20:53,916
went to it.

01:20:53,916 --> 01:20:54,541
It was an island

01:20:55,500 --> 01:20:57,000

to there.
1531
01:21:18,166 --> 01:21:18,625
I've only been
1532
01:21:18,625 --> 01:21:19,000
there once
1533
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:19,916
before, but it
1534
01:21:19,916 --> 01:21:20,833
was in the
1535
01:21:20,833 --> 01:21:21,166
Mozambique
1536
01:21:21,166 --> 01:21:22,125
beautiful place

01:21:22,125 --> 01:21:23,708
and the diving. I
1538
01:21:23,708 --> 01:21:24,250
haven't been I

01:21:25,166 --> 01:21:25,958
able to dive on
1541
01:21:25,958 --> 01:21:26,375
the Mozambique
1542
01:21:26,375 --> 01:21:27,041
side yet, but it
1543
01:21:27,041 --> 01:21:27,625
looks beautiful.
1544
01:21:27,625 --> 01:21:29,208
All the stuff
1545
01:21:29,208 --> 01:21:29,541
that I've been
1546
01:21:29,541 --> 01:21:30,458
able to see. So
1547
01:21:30,458 --> 01:21:30,791
you guys, your
1548
01:21:30,791 --> 01:21:31,416
diving and they
1549
01:21:31,416 --> 01:21:31,791
went off. She
1550
01:21:31,791 --> 01:21:33,125
went on just went
1551
01:21:33,125 --> 01:21:33,708
to high school
1552
01:21:33,708 --> 01:21:35,416
and then on to to
1553
01:21:35,416 --> 01:21:36,333
University and
1554
01:21:36,333 --> 01:21:36,958
stuff. So what
1555
01:21:36,958 --> 01:21:38,291
kind of along
1556
01:21:38,291 --> 01:21:38,916
this journey
1557
01:21:38,916 --> 01:21:39,833
here, what was
1558
01:21:39,833 --> 01:21:40,750
your kind of what
1559
01:21:40,750 --> 01:21:41,583
were your thought
1560
01:21:41,583 --> 01:21:42,666
process back at
1561
01:21:42,666 --> 01:21:43,833
that time? Like
1562
01:21:43,833 --> 01:21:44,333
is it where you
1563
01:21:44,333 --> 01:21:45,000
wanted to go with
1564
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:45,708
your sort of
1565
01:21:45,708 --> 01:21:46,458
sharky career?
1566
01:21:47,041 --> 01:21:48,625
I think I mean, I
1567
01:21:48,625 --> 01:21:50,166
I knew that
1568
01:21:50,166 --> 01:21:51,291
sharks was the
1569
01:21:51,291 --> 01:21:51,583
sort of
1570
01:21:51,583 --> 01:21:52,500
direction. But
1571
01:21:52,500 --> 01:21:53,750
for me, one of
1572
01:21:53,750 --> 01:21:54,333
the things that I
1573
01:21:54,333 --> 01:21:55,166
wanted to do
1574
01:21:55,166 --> 01:21:55,916
straight off the
1575
01:21:55,916 --> 01:21:57,500
bat was get a
1576
01:21:57,500 --> 01:21:58,791
much broader
1577
01:21:58,791 --> 01:22:00,666
environmental and
1578
01:22:00,666 --> 01:22:01,416
geological
1579
01:22:01,416 --> 01:22:02,458
understanding of
1580
01:22:02,458 --> 01:22:02,875
the natural
1581
01:22:02,875 --> 01:22:04,000
world. I didn't
1582
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,333
want to initially
1583
01:22:05,333 --> 01:22:06,125
specialise down
1584
01:22:06,125 --> 01:22:07,125
like super, super
1585
01:22:07,125 --> 01:22:08,500
niche really,
1586
01:22:08,500 --> 01:22:08,958
really early on.
1587
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:09,708
I wanted to get
1588
01:22:09,708 --> 01:22:10,666
that bit of a bit
1589
01:22:10,666 --> 01:22:11,541
of a broader
1590
01:22:11,541 --> 01:22:13,500
understanding of
1591
01:22:13,500 --> 01:22:14,666
how the natural
1592
01:22:14,666 --> 01:22:16,500
world works. But
1593
01:22:16,500 --> 01:22:17,625
then once I had
1594
01:22:17,625 --> 01:22:18,250
that, you know,
1595
01:22:18,458 --> 01:22:18,875
in my kind of
1596
01:22:18,875 --> 01:22:19,708
first year of
1597
01:22:19,708 --> 01:22:20,958
uni, then I
1598
01:22:20,958 --> 01:22:21,666
started to sort
1599
01:22:21,666 --> 01:22:22,458
of choose those
1600
01:22:22,458 --> 01:22:23,250
modules that was
1601
01:22:23,250 --> 01:22:24,041
like, OK, let's
1602
01:22:24,041 --> 01:22:24,583
have a look at
1603
01:22:24,583 --> 01:22:25,708
marine dynamics.
1604
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:26,583
Let's have a look
1605
01:22:26,583 --> 01:22:27,416
at like
1606
01:22:27,416 --> 01:22:28,916
overexploitation
1607
01:22:28,916 --> 01:22:29,666
of the sea and
1608
01:22:29,666 --> 01:22:30,250
learn about
1609
01:22:30,250 --> 01:22:31,166
fisheries and
1610
01:22:31,166 --> 01:22:31,750
kind of really
1611
01:22:31,750 --> 01:22:32,750
start to like
1612
01:22:32,750 --> 01:22:35,541
train myself into
1613
01:22:35,541 --> 01:22:36,750
a particular, a
1614
01:22:36,750 --> 01:22:37,500
particular area
1615
01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:38,083
that I knew I
1616
01:22:38,083 --> 01:22:38,791
kind of wanted to
1617
01:22:38,791 --> 01:22:39,375
head into.
1618
01:22:39,375 --> 01:22:40,250
But it was for
1619
01:22:40,250 --> 01:22:40,708
me, it was about
1620
01:22:40,708 --> 01:22:41,541
starting broad
1621
01:22:41,541 --> 01:22:42,250
initially and
1622
01:22:42,250 --> 01:22:44,041
then slowly kind
1623
01:22:44,041 --> 01:22:45,208
of pointing
1624
01:22:45,208 --> 01:22:45,750
myself in the
1625
01:22:45,750 --> 01:22:46,250
right direction.
1626
01:22:46,750 --> 01:22:47,166
Where did that
1627
01:22:47,166 --> 01:22:48,041
thought process
1628
01:22:48,041 --> 01:22:48,750
come from?
1629
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:49,666
Because a lot of,
1630
01:22:49,833 --> 01:22:50,541
you know, a lot
1631
01:22:50,541 --> 01:22:51,500
of people in high
1632
01:22:51,500 --> 01:22:52,166
school were like,
1633
01:22:52,166 --> 01:22:52,625
I just want to
1634
01:22:52,625 --> 01:22:53,166
work with sharks
1635
01:22:53,166 --> 01:22:53,708
or I just want to
1636
01:22:53,708 --> 01:22:54,291
work with whales
1637
01:22:54,291 --> 01:22:54,833
or I want to work
1638
01:22:54,833 --> 01:22:55,291
with a particular
1639
01:22:55,291 --> 01:22:55,750
species.
1640
01:22:56,375 --> 01:22:56,708
And they'll tend
1641
01:22:56,708 --> 01:22:57,375
to just want to
1642
01:22:57,375 --> 01:22:57,916
jump into it
1643
01:22:57,916 --> 01:22:58,750
right away at
1644
01:22:58,750 --> 01:23:00,500
university. I
1645
01:23:00,500 --> 01:23:00,916
think it's really
1646
01:23:00,916 --> 01:23:01,541
good to have that
1647
01:23:01,541 --> 01:23:02,541
perspective in
1648
01:23:02,541 --> 01:23:03,458
life to like get
1649
01:23:03,458 --> 01:23:03,833
a broad
1650
01:23:03,833 --> 01:23:04,583
understanding of,
1651
01:23:04,958 --> 01:23:05,500
like you said, as
1652
01:23:05,500 --> 01:23:06,000
the natural
1653
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:06,750
world works.
1654
01:23:07,125 --> 01:23:07,583
But where did
1655
01:23:07,583 --> 01:23:08,500
that come from?
1656
01:23:08,500 --> 01:23:08,875
Like, did your
1657
01:23:08,875 --> 01:23:09,458
did your parents
1658
01:23:09,458 --> 01:23:10,041
help you out with
1659
01:23:10,041 --> 01:23:10,500
that, like,
1660
01:23:10,500 --> 01:23:11,166
directly that or
1661
01:23:11,166 --> 01:23:11,708
was that just
1662
01:23:11,708 --> 01:23:12,375
something you
1663
01:23:12,375 --> 01:23:13,083
just want to know
1664
01:23:13,083 --> 01:23:13,500
in general?
1665
01:23:13,875 --> 01:23:14,750
I think it was a
1666
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:15,791
probably just a
1667
01:23:15,791 --> 01:23:17,166
general life
1668
01:23:17,166 --> 01:23:18,833
lesson you're
1669
01:23:18,833 --> 01:23:19,250
taught by my
1670
01:23:19,250 --> 01:23:19,583
parents. It
1671
01:23:19,583 --> 01:23:20,416
wasn't a case of
1672
01:23:20,416 --> 01:23:20,875
they kind of sat
1673
01:23:20,875 --> 01:23:21,375
me down and was
1674
01:23:21,375 --> 01:23:22,125
like, right, you
1675
01:23:22,125 --> 01:23:22,500
know, you should
1676
01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:22,916
be broad.
1677
01:23:23,208 --> 01:23:23,791
It was just to
1678
01:23:23,791 --> 01:23:25,333
look at things
1679
01:23:25,333 --> 01:23:26,791
from a wider
1680
01:23:26,791 --> 01:23:27,416
perspective
1681
01:23:27,416 --> 01:23:29,125
first. And then,
1682
01:23:29,125 --> 01:23:30,041
you know, when
1683
01:23:30,041 --> 01:23:30,875
you start to
1684
01:23:30,875 --> 01:23:31,541
figure out
1685
01:23:31,541 --> 01:23:32,291
exactly what it
1686
01:23:32,291 --> 01:23:33,625
is, then kind of,
1687
01:23:33,625 --> 01:23:34,500
you know, lead it
1688
01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:34,791
that way.
1689
01:23:34,833 --> 01:23:35,541
But yeah, it was
1690
01:23:35,541 --> 01:23:37,041
looking at things
1691
01:23:37,041 --> 01:23:37,833
in life in
1692
01:23:37,833 --> 01:23:38,500
general, from a
1693
01:23:38,500 --> 01:23:38,750
broader
1694
01:23:38,750 --> 01:23:39,208
perspective,
1695
01:23:39,208 --> 01:23:39,750
looking at things
1696
01:23:39,750 --> 01:23:40,416
from a balanced
1697
01:23:40,416 --> 01:23:40,791
perspective.
1698
01:23:41,250 --> 01:23:41,791
It was something
1699
01:23:41,791 --> 01:23:42,333
that's just kind
1700
01:23:42,333 --> 01:23:43,000
of been instilled
1701
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,583
in me from when I
1702
01:23:44,583 --> 01:23:45,208
was really young.
1703
01:23:45,208 --> 01:23:45,875
I remember my dad
1704
01:23:45,875 --> 01:23:46,375
always used to
1705
01:23:46,375 --> 01:23:47,125
say that.
1706
01:23:47,375 --> 01:23:47,833
Now, you were you
1707
01:23:47,833 --> 01:23:49,041
were kind of come
1708
01:23:49,041 --> 01:23:50,041
up this era now,
1709
01:23:50,625 --> 01:23:51,291
a lot of people
1710
01:23:51,291 --> 01:23:52,041
your age and
1711
01:23:52,041 --> 01:23:53,000
younger really
1712
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:53,708
got onto the
1713
01:23:53,708 --> 01:23:54,291
social media
1714
01:23:54,291 --> 01:23:55,500
stuff like that
1715
01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:56,333
was kind of your,
1716
01:23:57,208 --> 01:23:57,666
which even for
1717
01:23:57,666 --> 01:23:58,583
Andrew's into it,
1718
01:23:58,583 --> 01:23:59,125
I think that you
1719
01:23:59,125 --> 01:23:59,458
were a little
1720
01:23:59,458 --> 01:24:00,541
before the time,
1721
01:24:00,541 --> 01:24:01,250
really, Andrew, I
1722
01:24:01,250 --> 01:24:02,166
think before.
1723
01:24:02,208 --> 01:24:03,458
But you with your
1724
01:24:03,458 --> 01:24:04,500
I see a lot of I
1725
01:24:04,500 --> 01:24:05,250
see people from
1726
01:24:05,250 --> 01:24:05,708
your sort of
1727
01:24:05,708 --> 01:24:06,250
generation,
1728
01:24:06,583 --> 01:24:06,916
Kristen, that
1729
01:24:06,916 --> 01:24:08,625
they kind of they
1730
01:24:08,625 --> 01:24:09,250
they started
1731
01:24:09,250 --> 01:24:09,791
maybe like you
1732
01:24:09,791 --> 01:24:10,208
did doing
1733
01:24:10,208 --> 01:24:10,833
research and
1734
01:24:10,833 --> 01:24:11,208
stuff, but then
1735
01:24:11,208 --> 01:24:11,708
they really
1736
01:24:11,708 --> 01:24:12,708
locked into the
1737
01:24:12,708 --> 01:24:14,250
science
1738
01:24:14,250 --> 01:24:14,791
communication
1739
01:24:14,791 --> 01:24:15,875
aspect of it.
1740
01:24:16,166 --> 01:24:16,708
What was it? What
1741
01:24:16,708 --> 01:24:17,375
was sort of your
1742
01:24:17,375 --> 01:24:19,750
how did that hold
1743
01:24:19,750 --> 01:24:20,750
trajectory go for
1744
01:24:20,750 --> 01:24:21,500
you as far as
1745
01:24:21,500 --> 01:24:22,333
you're coming
1746
01:24:22,333 --> 01:24:22,541
through?
1747
01:24:23,041 --> 01:24:23,708
Do you know what,
1748
01:24:23,708 --> 01:24:24,500
Dave, I think one
1749
01:24:24,500 --> 01:24:25,750
of the biggest
1750
01:24:25,750 --> 01:24:27,000
things for me was
1751
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:28,416
was struggling to
1752
01:24:28,416 --> 01:24:29,791
get a job in the
1753
01:24:29,791 --> 01:24:30,916
field that was,
1754
01:24:30,916 --> 01:24:31,708
you know, I
1755
01:24:31,708 --> 01:24:32,458
looked at it and
1756
01:24:32,458 --> 01:24:34,458
I after
1757
01:24:34,458 --> 01:24:35,291
university, you
1758
01:24:35,291 --> 01:24:37,000
know, I did the
1759
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:37,625
stereotypical
1760
01:24:37,625 --> 01:24:39,458
thing that you
1761
01:24:39,458 --> 01:24:40,791
people were told
1762
01:24:40,791 --> 01:24:42,166
to do for many,
1763
01:24:42,166 --> 01:24:42,833
many years, which
1764
01:24:42,833 --> 01:24:44,166
was go to school,
1765
01:24:44,416 --> 01:24:45,041
get your degree,
1766
01:24:45,291 --> 01:24:46,166
get your higher
1767
01:24:46,166 --> 01:24:46,708
qualifications,
1768
01:24:47,208 --> 01:24:47,875
then get a job.
1769
01:24:48,291 --> 01:24:49,875
And I did those
1770
01:24:49,875 --> 01:24:51,041
things. I did
1771
01:24:51,041 --> 01:24:52,500
what what was
1772
01:24:52,500 --> 01:24:54,291
expected that the
1773
01:24:54,291 --> 01:24:55,458
the normal path
1774
01:24:55,458 --> 01:24:56,375
and it didn't
1775
01:24:56,375 --> 01:24:57,625
work. Right. So I
1776
01:24:57,625 --> 01:24:58,708
applied. I can't
1777
01:24:58,708 --> 01:24:59,458
tell you when I
1778
01:24:59,458 --> 01:24:59,916
came out of
1779
01:24:59,916 --> 01:25:01,708
university, I
1780
01:25:01,708 --> 01:25:02,166
knew at that
1781
01:25:02,166 --> 01:25:03,333
point, I didn't
1782
01:25:03,333 --> 01:25:04,458
want to do a PhD
1783
01:25:04,458 --> 01:25:05,916
just yet. And I
1784
01:25:05,916 --> 01:25:06,500
always say never
1785
01:25:06,500 --> 01:25:07,125
say never with
1786
01:25:07,125 --> 01:25:08,083
it. But I came
1787
01:25:08,083 --> 01:25:08,250
out of
1788
01:25:08,250 --> 01:25:08,791
university. I was
1789
01:25:08,791 --> 01:25:09,750
like, right, I'm
1790
01:25:09,750 --> 01:25:10,041
gonna try and get
1791
01:25:10,041 --> 01:25:11,375
a job now. And I
1792
01:25:11,375 --> 01:25:12,291
want to work in
1793
01:25:12,291 --> 01:25:13,541
this field. Yeah,
1794
01:25:13,583 --> 01:25:14,875
I've got the I've
1795
01:25:14,875 --> 01:25:15,416
got the degree.
1796
01:25:15,625 --> 01:25:16,708
I've got all
1797
01:25:16,708 --> 01:25:17,291
this stuff.
1798
01:25:17,333 --> 01:25:18,041
And then I
1799
01:25:18,041 --> 01:25:18,583
started applying
1800
01:25:18,583 --> 01:25:20,000
for jobs. And I
1801
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:21,333
just, I wasn't
1802
01:25:21,333 --> 01:25:21,500
even getting
1803
01:25:21,500 --> 01:25:22,791
interviews. I
1804
01:25:22,791 --> 01:25:23,208
wasn't even
1805
01:25:23,208 --> 01:25:24,041
getting because
1806
01:25:24,041 --> 01:25:25,500
I, I, I like to
1807
01:25:25,500 --> 01:25:26,000
think that I
1808
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:26,625
backed myself
1809
01:25:26,625 --> 01:25:28,208
face to face, you
1810
01:25:28,208 --> 01:25:28,708
know, having a
1811
01:25:28,708 --> 01:25:29,291
conversation with
1812
01:25:29,291 --> 01:25:30,250
someone in an
1813
01:25:30,250 --> 01:25:30,708
interview
1814
01:25:30,708 --> 01:25:31,166
situation,
1815
01:25:31,166 --> 01:25:31,916
whether it be on
1816
01:25:31,916 --> 01:25:32,500
zoom or in
1817
01:25:32,500 --> 01:25:33,791
person, I'd like
1818
01:25:33,791 --> 01:25:34,500
to back myself in
1819
01:25:34,500 --> 01:25:35,125
that situation.
1820
01:25:35,125 --> 01:25:35,833
But it wasn't
1821
01:25:35,833 --> 01:25:36,541
even getting that
1822
01:25:36,541 --> 01:25:37,458
chance. I wasn't
1823
01:25:37,458 --> 01:25:38,375
even getting past
1824
01:25:38,375 --> 01:25:39,166
that, that
1825
01:25:39,166 --> 01:25:40,666
initial stage to
1826
01:25:40,666 --> 01:25:41,250
even get me on
1827
01:25:41,250 --> 01:25:42,000
the, you know, to
1828
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:42,708
even get me near
1829
01:25:42,708 --> 01:25:43,583
the door to bash
1830
01:25:43,583 --> 01:25:45,291
it down. So I
1831
01:25:45,291 --> 01:25:45,875
looked at that.
1832
01:25:45,875 --> 01:25:46,291
And I was like,
1833
01:25:46,291 --> 01:25:46,708
I'm really,
1834
01:25:46,708 --> 01:25:47,291
I'm really
1835
01:25:47,333 --> 01:25:48,416
struggling here.
1836
01:25:48,416 --> 01:25:49,291
I'm applying for
1837
01:25:49,291 --> 01:25:49,875
all these jobs.
1838
01:25:49,875 --> 01:25:51,375
I'm, I'm, I'm, I
1839
01:25:51,375 --> 01:25:52,000
want I know want
1840
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:52,541
to work in this
1841
01:25:52,541 --> 01:25:53,666
field, but I'm
1842
01:25:53,666 --> 01:25:54,041
not getting
1843
01:25:54,041 --> 01:25:54,791
anywhere with it.
1844
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:55,708
And so at that
1845
01:25:55,708 --> 01:25:57,458
point, I was, you
1846
01:25:57,458 --> 01:25:58,333
know, perhaps in
1847
01:25:58,333 --> 01:25:59,208
a bit of a
1848
01:25:59,208 --> 01:25:59,916
fortunate
1849
01:25:59,916 --> 01:26:00,833
situation in the
1850
01:26:00,833 --> 01:26:01,791
sense of, you
1851
01:26:01,791 --> 01:26:02,750
know, I've got
1852
01:26:02,750 --> 01:26:03,125
somewhere to
1853
01:26:03,125 --> 01:26:03,791
live, I can
1854
01:26:03,791 --> 01:26:04,500
afford to pay my
1855
01:26:04,500 --> 01:26:05,458
bills, that kind
1856
01:26:05,458 --> 01:26:06,583
of stuff. But I
1857
01:26:06,583 --> 01:26:07,208
thought, you know
1858
01:26:07,208 --> 01:26:08,333
what, what do I
1859
01:26:08,333 --> 01:26:09,750
enjoy doing? I
1860
01:26:09,750 --> 01:26:10,333
like talking to
1861
01:26:10,333 --> 01:26:10,666
people about
1862
01:26:10,666 --> 01:26:11,916
sharks, right? I
1863
01:26:11,916 --> 01:26:13,250
like discussing
1864
01:26:13,250 --> 01:26:14,041
sharks. I like
1865
01:26:14,041 --> 01:26:14,500
telling people
1866
01:26:14,500 --> 01:26:15,833
about how cool
1867
01:26:15,833 --> 01:26:16,500
they are. And I
1868
01:26:16,500 --> 01:26:16,958
know I
1869
01:26:16,958 --> 01:26:17,291
was doing it
1870
01:26:17,333 --> 01:26:18,000
back then, I was
1871
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:18,458
working in the
1872
01:26:18,458 --> 01:26:19,125
pub a lot more, I
1873
01:26:19,125 --> 01:26:19,833
was doing three,
1874
01:26:19,833 --> 01:26:20,250
four shifts a
1875
01:26:20,250 --> 01:26:21,583
week in the
1876
01:26:21,583 --> 01:26:22,833
evenings, as well
1877
01:26:22,833 --> 01:26:23,500
as doing the uni
1878
01:26:23,500 --> 01:26:24,000
stuff as well.
1879
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:24,583
But I was talking
1880
01:26:24,583 --> 01:26:25,333
to people about
1881
01:26:25,333 --> 01:26:26,875
sharks all the
1882
01:26:26,875 --> 01:26:27,750
time. So I
1883
01:26:27,750 --> 01:26:28,500
thought, well,
1884
01:26:28,916 --> 01:26:29,541
why don't I just
1885
01:26:29,541 --> 01:26:30,583
do that on the
1886
01:26:30,583 --> 01:26:31,791
internet? I
1887
01:26:31,791 --> 01:26:33,041
wasn't massive
1888
01:26:33,041 --> 01:26:34,833
into Instagram.
1889
01:26:35,208 --> 01:26:36,000
And I did a
1890
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:36,875
little bit of
1891
01:26:36,875 --> 01:26:38,250
stuff on Twitter
1892
01:26:38,250 --> 01:26:38,916
back when it was
1893
01:26:38,916 --> 01:26:40,500
Twitter. But, you
1894
01:26:40,500 --> 01:26:41,458
know, TikTok was
1895
01:26:41,458 --> 01:26:43,416
kind of, I wasn't
1896
01:26:43,416 --> 01:26:44,500
quite into that
1897
01:26:44,500 --> 01:26:46,000
as much. But I
1898
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:46,666
did like YouTube.
1899
01:26:46,666 --> 01:26:47,291
And I liked
1900
01:26:47,333 --> 01:26:48,083
watching YouTube
1901
01:26:48,083 --> 01:26:49,125
videos. And I've
1902
01:26:49,125 --> 01:26:49,458
always liked
1903
01:26:49,458 --> 01:26:49,958
watching YouTube
1904
01:26:49,958 --> 01:26:50,333
videos, I've
1905
01:26:50,333 --> 01:26:50,833
always found them
1906
01:26:50,833 --> 01:26:50,958
really
1907
01:26:50,958 --> 01:26:51,583
interesting. And
1908
01:26:51,583 --> 01:26:52,000
I thought, you
1909
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:52,958
know what, I'll
1910
01:26:52,958 --> 01:26:53,791
just I'll just
1911
01:26:53,791 --> 01:26:54,250
start YouTube
1912
01:26:54,250 --> 01:26:54,916
channel. I think
1913
01:26:54,916 --> 01:26:56,875
it was, it was
1914
01:26:56,875 --> 01:26:59,250
COVID. I was over
1915
01:26:59,250 --> 01:27:00,000
in Florida at the
1916
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:00,625
time, my parents
1917
01:27:00,625 --> 01:27:01,416
lived over in the
1918
01:27:01,416 --> 01:27:04,250
States. And I was
1919
01:27:04,250 --> 01:27:05,375
kind of not stuck
1920
01:27:05,375 --> 01:27:06,458
there. But there
1921
01:27:06,458 --> 01:27:07,291
was not a lot we
1922
01:27:07,291 --> 01:27:08,125
could do. You
1923
01:27:08,125 --> 01:27:09,833
know, everything
1924
01:27:09,833 --> 01:27:10,541
was shut down.
1925
01:27:10,541 --> 01:27:11,000
And I remember
1926
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:12,541
that long days of
1927
01:27:12,541 --> 01:27:13,333
just sitting and
1928
01:27:13,333 --> 01:27:14,000
thinking, okay,
1929
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:14,541
if I was going to
1930
01:27:14,541 --> 01:27:15,041
start a YouTube
1931
01:27:15,041 --> 01:27:16,291
channel, what
1932
01:27:16,291 --> 01:27:16,708
would I
1933
01:27:16,708 --> 01:27:17,291
talk about?
1934
01:27:17,333 --> 01:27:18,708
What would the
1935
01:27:18,708 --> 01:27:20,083
first video, the
1936
01:27:20,083 --> 01:27:21,000
first few videos
1937
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:21,916
be about? What,
1938
01:27:21,916 --> 01:27:22,291
you know, what
1939
01:27:22,291 --> 01:27:23,666
kind of content
1940
01:27:23,666 --> 01:27:25,000
am I going to
1941
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:25,583
start making?
1942
01:27:25,583 --> 01:27:26,333
I just sat there
1943
01:27:26,333 --> 01:27:28,583
for about four
1944
01:27:28,583 --> 01:27:29,458
months until I
1945
01:27:29,458 --> 01:27:30,083
was forced to
1946
01:27:30,083 --> 01:27:30,500
leave the States
1947
01:27:30,500 --> 01:27:31,000
because my visa
1948
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:31,541
was running out.
1949
01:27:31,750 --> 01:27:33,458
But I just sat
1950
01:27:33,458 --> 01:27:34,000
there thinking
1951
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,958
what this channel
1952
01:27:35,958 --> 01:27:36,500
was going to be.
1953
01:27:36,750 --> 01:27:37,958
And I got back to
1954
01:27:37,958 --> 01:27:39,958
the UK. And
1955
01:27:39,958 --> 01:27:40,666
again, it was it
1956
01:27:40,666 --> 01:27:41,333
was still COVID.
1957
01:27:41,333 --> 01:27:41,708
Everything was
1958
01:27:41,708 --> 01:27:42,875
shut down. I set
1959
01:27:42,875 --> 01:27:43,583
my camera up
1960
01:27:43,583 --> 01:27:44,333
behind my desk
1961
01:27:44,333 --> 01:27:45,083
and I just
1962
01:27:45,083 --> 01:27:46,000
started talking.
1963
01:27:46,583 --> 01:27:47,125
Just, you know,
1964
01:27:47,166 --> 01:27:48,166
I was looking at
1965
01:27:48,166 --> 01:27:48,916
your first I was
1966
01:27:48,916 --> 01:27:49,500
looking at your
1967
01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:50,416
first video was
1968
01:27:50,416 --> 01:27:51,125
like five years
1969
01:27:51,125 --> 01:27:52,875
ago. Yeah, right.
1970
01:27:52,875 --> 01:27:54,125
Oh, that person's
1971
01:27:54,125 --> 01:27:54,958
so cringe as
1972
01:27:54,958 --> 01:27:57,833
well. I listen. I
1973
01:27:57,833 --> 01:27:58,458
went back a
1974
01:27:58,458 --> 01:27:58,916
couple of years
1975
01:27:58,916 --> 01:27:59,458
ago. I've been
1976
01:27:59,458 --> 01:27:59,750
doing the
1977
01:27:59,750 --> 01:28:00,708
podcast, like for
1978
01:28:00,708 --> 01:28:01,083
how to protect
1979
01:28:01,083 --> 01:28:01,708
the ocean for 10
1980
01:28:01,708 --> 01:28:02,500
years. I went
1981
01:28:02,500 --> 01:28:03,208
back a couple of
1982
01:28:03,208 --> 01:28:03,666
months ago to
1983
01:28:03,666 --> 01:28:04,041
listen to my
1984
01:28:04,041 --> 01:28:04,708
first episode. I
1985
01:28:04,708 --> 01:28:04,958
was like,
1986
01:28:04,958 --> 01:28:05,875
oh my God.
1987
01:28:05,916 --> 01:28:07,833
Yeah, I know how
1988
01:28:07,833 --> 01:28:08,500
it changes,
1989
01:28:08,500 --> 01:28:09,083
right? How you
1990
01:28:09,083 --> 01:28:10,500
how you just you
1991
01:28:10,500 --> 01:28:12,625
you naturally the
1992
01:28:12,625 --> 01:28:13,458
more you do it,
1993
01:28:13,458 --> 01:28:14,041
it just gets
1994
01:28:14,041 --> 01:28:15,375
easier. Yeah, you
1995
01:28:15,375 --> 01:28:15,833
just become more
1996
01:28:15,833 --> 01:28:16,416
I think it's just
1997
01:28:16,416 --> 01:28:17,208
it's a matter of
1998
01:28:17,208 --> 01:28:17,875
becoming more
1999
01:28:17,875 --> 01:28:18,291
comfortable
2000
01:28:18,291 --> 01:28:18,791
behind the
2001
01:28:18,791 --> 01:28:19,916
microphone. It's
2002
01:28:19,916 --> 01:28:21,125
also very weird.
2003
01:28:21,125 --> 01:28:21,375
I don't know if
2004
01:28:21,375 --> 01:28:22,291
you find this.
2005
01:28:22,291 --> 01:28:22,916
It's I still find
2006
01:28:22,916 --> 01:28:23,541
it, you know,
2007
01:28:23,541 --> 01:28:24,166
kind of odd.
2008
01:28:24,541 --> 01:28:24,916
You're staring
2009
01:28:24,916 --> 01:28:25,750
into a camera,
2010
01:28:25,750 --> 01:28:26,958
you know, you've
2011
01:28:26,958 --> 01:28:27,666
got because I
2012
01:28:27,666 --> 01:28:27,958
only started
2013
01:28:27,958 --> 01:28:28,541
doing videos a
2014
01:28:28,541 --> 01:28:29,000
couple of years
2015
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:29,625
ago, you're
2016
01:28:29,625 --> 01:28:30,250
staring into a
2017
01:28:30,250 --> 01:28:31,000
camera, you got a
2018
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:31,333
microphone,
2019
01:28:31,333 --> 01:28:31,708
you're by
2020
01:28:31,708 --> 01:28:33,083
yourself. It's a
2021
01:28:33,083 --> 01:28:33,708
very weird having
2022
01:28:33,708 --> 01:28:34,291
that conversation
2023
01:28:34,291 --> 01:28:35,250
trying to be.
2024
01:28:35,791 --> 01:28:36,791
Entertaining at
2025
01:28:36,791 --> 01:28:37,916
the same time and
2026
01:28:37,916 --> 01:28:39,125
expressive and
2027
01:28:39,125 --> 01:28:40,166
trying to stay on
2028
01:28:40,166 --> 01:28:41,166
point and not
2029
01:28:41,166 --> 01:28:41,916
getting lost by
2030
01:28:41,916 --> 01:28:42,375
looking at
2031
01:28:42,375 --> 01:28:43,291
yourself in the
2032
01:28:43,291 --> 01:28:44,333
camera a lot of
2033
01:28:44,333 --> 01:28:45,375
times, you know,
2034
01:28:45,375 --> 01:28:45,791
and trying to
2035
01:28:45,791 --> 01:28:46,833
look in the right
2036
01:28:46,833 --> 01:28:47,500
direction and
2037
01:28:47,500 --> 01:28:48,416
stuff. It's it's
2038
01:28:48,416 --> 01:28:49,333
it's not an easy
2039
01:28:49,333 --> 01:28:50,041
thing. It's not
2040
01:28:50,041 --> 01:28:50,666
an easy thing to
2041
01:28:50,666 --> 01:28:52,000
do, but you just
2042
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,416
graduated, you
2043
01:28:53,416 --> 01:28:53,958
know, and
2044
01:28:53,958 --> 01:28:55,208
so were you.
2045
01:28:56,625 --> 01:28:57,541
I know we were at
2046
01:28:57,541 --> 01:28:58,000
a point right
2047
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:58,833
now, like even
2048
01:28:58,833 --> 01:28:59,583
even when you
2049
01:28:59,583 --> 01:29:00,416
started like, say
2050
01:29:00,416 --> 01:29:01,916
what 2021 2020
2051
01:29:01,916 --> 01:29:03,791
2021. Did you
2052
01:29:03,791 --> 01:29:04,458
ever get worried
2053
01:29:04,458 --> 01:29:06,500
about doing
2054
01:29:06,500 --> 01:29:06,833
science
2055
01:29:06,833 --> 01:29:07,750
communication and
2056
01:29:07,750 --> 01:29:08,250
worried about
2057
01:29:08,250 --> 01:29:08,625
what other
2058
01:29:08,625 --> 01:29:09,333
scientists were
2059
01:29:09,333 --> 01:29:10,083
going to think
2060
01:29:10,083 --> 01:29:10,625
about what you
2061
01:29:10,625 --> 01:29:12,250
were saying? That
2062
01:29:12,250 --> 01:29:12,958
was a big fear of
2063
01:29:12,958 --> 01:29:14,083
mine when I yeah,
2064
01:29:14,500 --> 01:29:14,666
that's
2065
01:29:14,666 --> 01:29:15,291
why I asked.
2066
01:29:15,666 --> 01:29:16,791
I there's there
2067
01:29:16,791 --> 01:29:17,625
is always the
2068
01:29:17,625 --> 01:29:18,875
thought in the
2069
01:29:18,875 --> 01:29:19,750
back of my head
2070
01:29:19,750 --> 01:29:21,208
for sure, because
2071
01:29:21,208 --> 01:29:22,208
a lot of the
2072
01:29:22,208 --> 01:29:22,833
people that
2073
01:29:22,833 --> 01:29:23,708
you'll have had
2074
01:29:23,708 --> 01:29:24,791
on this podcast,
2075
01:29:24,791 --> 01:29:26,000
right, there will
2076
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:27,000
be videos on
2077
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:27,875
shark bites that
2078
01:29:27,875 --> 01:29:28,583
I have done about
2079
01:29:28,583 --> 01:29:29,250
their research,
2080
01:29:29,250 --> 01:29:29,666
right? I think
2081
01:29:29,666 --> 01:29:30,708
Allison town, you
2082
01:29:30,708 --> 01:29:31,541
said you had on,
2083
01:29:31,541 --> 01:29:33,125
right? So so I've
2084
01:29:33,125 --> 01:29:33,708
got, you know,
2085
01:29:33,708 --> 01:29:34,250
I've got videos
2086
01:29:34,250 --> 01:29:35,250
about Alison town
2087
01:29:35,250 --> 01:29:36,500
as research that
2088
01:29:36,500 --> 01:29:37,500
town town, I tell
2089
01:29:37,500 --> 01:29:38,833
2022 the the
2090
01:29:38,833 --> 01:29:39,625
killer whales and
2091
01:29:39,625 --> 01:29:40,000
the white sharks
2092
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:40,541
in South Africa.
2093
01:29:40,541 --> 01:29:41,583
There are videos
2094
01:29:41,583 --> 01:29:43,083
and I've there's
2095
01:29:43,083 --> 01:29:44,625
always a a a.
2096
01:29:44,666 --> 01:29:46,000
Just a little
2097
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:46,416
thought in the
2098
01:29:46,416 --> 01:29:46,916
back of my head
2099
01:29:46,916 --> 01:29:47,875
and I go, I hope
2100
01:29:47,875 --> 01:29:48,541
I hope they think
2101
01:29:48,541 --> 01:29:49,000
I did that
2102
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:49,750
justice kind of
2103
01:29:49,750 --> 01:29:50,375
thing. I hope I
2104
01:29:50,375 --> 01:29:51,500
hope they if they
2105
01:29:51,500 --> 01:29:52,375
ever saw it,
2106
01:29:52,375 --> 01:29:53,333
they'd be like,
2107
01:29:53,333 --> 01:29:53,833
yeah, you know
2108
01:29:53,833 --> 01:29:54,458
what? Yeah,
2109
01:29:54,458 --> 01:29:55,458
that's that's a
2110
01:29:55,458 --> 01:29:56,083
good presentation
2111
01:29:56,083 --> 01:29:57,208
of my research.
2112
01:29:57,208 --> 01:29:58,000
That's that's
2113
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:58,875
what my my hope
2114
01:29:58,875 --> 01:29:59,708
is I don't I
2115
01:29:59,708 --> 01:30:00,208
would never have
2116
01:30:00,208 --> 01:30:00,666
said it was a
2117
01:30:00,666 --> 01:30:02,375
worry because I
2118
01:30:02,375 --> 01:30:04,500
think for me if I
2119
01:30:04,500 --> 01:30:06,666
was ever worried
2120
01:30:06,666 --> 01:30:07,916
about what people
2121
01:30:07,916 --> 01:30:09,041
thought about me
2122
01:30:09,041 --> 01:30:09,666
or what they
2123
01:30:09,666 --> 01:30:10,208
thought about my
2124
01:30:10,208 --> 01:30:11,833
content YouTube
2125
01:30:11,833 --> 01:30:12,708
is the wrong
2126
01:30:12,708 --> 01:30:13,416
place for that
2127
01:30:13,416 --> 01:30:13,625
because you are going to get.
2128
01:30:13,666 --> 01:30:15,000
Absolutely
2129
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,583
hounded, but
2130
01:30:16,583 --> 01:30:17,208
you've got to
2131
01:30:17,208 --> 01:30:18,333
have big skin,
2132
01:30:18,333 --> 01:30:19,375
right? So it's
2133
01:30:19,375 --> 01:30:19,708
true. Those
2134
01:30:19,708 --> 01:30:20,500
comments can be
2135
01:30:20,500 --> 01:30:21,291
brutal. My first
2136
01:30:21,291 --> 01:30:22,541
video I ever so I
2137
01:30:22,541 --> 01:30:23,208
did video before
2138
01:30:23,208 --> 01:30:24,500
I did podcast. My
2139
01:30:24,500 --> 01:30:25,208
first video ever
2140
01:30:25,208 --> 01:30:25,958
posted I had
2141
01:30:25,958 --> 01:30:27,416
someone put in
2142
01:30:27,416 --> 01:30:29,458
like STU STFU
2143
01:30:29,458 --> 01:30:30,500
like the first
2144
01:30:30,500 --> 01:30:31,291
that was my first
2145
01:30:31,291 --> 01:30:32,833
comment ever on a
2146
01:30:32,833 --> 01:30:33,375
video that had
2147
01:30:33,375 --> 01:30:34,000
nothing to do
2148
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:34,583
with a I wasn't
2149
01:30:34,583 --> 01:30:35,000
going after
2150
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:35,333
you're just
2151
01:30:35,333 --> 01:30:36,000
sitting there
2152
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:36,875
like welcome to
2153
01:30:36,875 --> 01:30:37,375
you. That's my
2154
01:30:37,375 --> 01:30:37,833
welcome to
2155
01:30:37,833 --> 01:30:39,083
YouTube. And you
2156
01:30:39,083 --> 01:30:40,250
know what? I'm
2157
01:30:40,250 --> 01:30:41,416
now in a position
2158
01:30:41,416 --> 01:30:42,375
where I've built
2159
01:30:42,375 --> 01:30:43,625
a really nice kid. And you know what? I'm now in a position where I've built a really nice kid. And I'm a
2160
01:30:43,666 --> 01:30:44,125
community of
2161
01:30:44,125 --> 01:30:44,458
people and
2162
01:30:44,458 --> 01:30:45,083
there's a lot of
2163
01:30:45,083 --> 01:30:45,541
people that
2164
01:30:45,541 --> 01:30:46,333
regularly watch
2165
01:30:46,333 --> 01:30:47,625
my videos who are
2166
01:30:47,625 --> 01:30:49,208
super nice, super
2167
01:30:49,208 --> 01:30:49,625
supportive,
2168
01:30:49,875 --> 01:30:50,375
really friendly,
2169
01:30:50,791 --> 01:30:51,458
but every single
2170
01:30:51,458 --> 01:30:52,916
day every single
2171
01:30:52,916 --> 01:30:53,875
day I will get
2172
01:30:53,875 --> 01:30:55,250
multiple comments
2173
01:30:55,250 --> 01:30:57,208
that are that are
2174
01:30:57,208 --> 01:30:58,500
really mean. But
2175
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:00,666
if I if I wasn't
2176
01:31:00,666 --> 01:31:01,833
able to hack it,
2177
01:31:02,083 --> 01:31:02,750
yeah, I would
2178
01:31:02,750 --> 01:31:03,541
never have got
2179
01:31:03,541 --> 01:31:04,166
into this game
2180
01:31:04,166 --> 01:31:05,666
for sure. Yeah,
2181
01:31:05,666 --> 01:31:06,541
yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
2182
01:31:06,541 --> 01:31:07,250
See, I I didn't
2183
01:31:07,250 --> 01:31:07,500
even thought
2184
01:31:07,500 --> 01:31:08,291
about that aspect
2185
01:31:08,291 --> 01:31:09,250
of it. I know you
2186
01:31:09,250 --> 01:31:10,250
find it because I
2187
01:31:10,250 --> 01:31:10,708
think the larger
2188
01:31:10,708 --> 01:31:11,958
following you get
2189
01:31:11,958 --> 01:31:12,458
and I think most
2190
01:31:12,458 --> 01:31:13,000
people just say
2191
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:13,250
you just
2192
01:31:13,875 --> 01:31:14,250
people I know
2193
01:31:14,250 --> 01:31:14,583
that have big
2194
01:31:14,583 --> 01:31:15,041
father, they just
2195
01:31:15,041 --> 01:31:15,625
say just ignore
2196
01:31:15,625 --> 01:31:17,041
it. Yeah, yeah.
2197
01:31:17,041 --> 01:31:18,041
There's the thing
2198
01:31:18,041 --> 01:31:18,625
is I look at
2199
01:31:18,625 --> 01:31:19,083
this, there's
2200
01:31:19,083 --> 01:31:19,833
sometimes you
2201
01:31:19,833 --> 01:31:21,750
know, you'll I've
2202
01:31:21,750 --> 01:31:22,750
learned over the
2203
01:31:22,750 --> 01:31:23,791
years to kind of
2204
01:31:23,791 --> 01:31:24,583
recognize the
2205
01:31:24,583 --> 01:31:25,500
comments where
2206
01:31:25,500 --> 01:31:28,083
someone the way
2207
01:31:28,083 --> 01:31:29,083
they phrase the
2208
01:31:29,083 --> 01:31:30,041
comment, you look
2209
01:31:30,041 --> 01:31:30,666
at it and go,
2210
01:31:30,875 --> 01:31:31,916
right. Okay. I
2211
01:31:31,916 --> 01:31:32,458
think I could
2212
01:31:32,458 --> 01:31:33,166
maybe change this
2213
01:31:33,166 --> 01:31:33,958
person's mind or
2214
01:31:33,958 --> 01:31:34,791
at least have
2215
01:31:34,791 --> 01:31:36,416
some kind of
2216
01:31:36,416 --> 01:31:37,083
engaging
2217
01:31:37,083 --> 01:31:38,416
discussion or
2218
01:31:38,416 --> 01:31:39,625
debate and maybe
2219
01:31:39,625 --> 01:31:40,250
we'll come away
2220
01:31:40,250 --> 01:31:40,916
from it and still
2221
01:31:40,916 --> 01:31:41,291
both be
2222
01:31:41,291 --> 01:31:41,791
disagreeing with
2223
01:31:41,791 --> 01:31:42,208
each other. But
2224
01:31:42,208 --> 01:31:42,500
we've had
2225
01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:43,416
it in a in a
2226
01:31:43,666 --> 01:31:45,541
really adult way.
2227
01:31:46,041 --> 01:31:46,333
Whereas you can
2228
01:31:46,333 --> 01:31:47,125
see the comments
2229
01:31:47,125 --> 01:31:48,791
from people who
2230
01:31:48,791 --> 01:31:49,708
you know that
2231
01:31:49,708 --> 01:31:50,708
that's never
2232
01:31:50,708 --> 01:31:51,500
going to work and
2233
01:31:51,500 --> 01:31:52,250
I spot them now
2234
01:31:52,250 --> 01:31:53,666
and go, no, I
2235
01:31:53,666 --> 01:31:54,250
think. Yeah.
2236
01:31:54,541 --> 01:31:54,750
Well, because
2237
01:31:54,750 --> 01:31:55,208
there's sometimes
2238
01:31:55,208 --> 01:31:56,083
where I feel like
2239
01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:56,708
if there's a
2240
01:31:56,708 --> 01:31:57,416
comment that said
2241
01:31:57,416 --> 01:31:59,041
that's pretty
2242
01:31:59,041 --> 01:32:00,791
much wrong. I'll
2243
01:32:00,791 --> 01:32:01,500
answer it. I'll
2244
01:32:01,500 --> 01:32:02,041
answer it and be
2245
01:32:02,041 --> 01:32:02,666
like, actually,
2246
01:32:02,666 --> 01:32:03,958
no, the fact that
2247
01:32:03,958 --> 01:32:04,750
what you said is
2248
01:32:04,750 --> 01:32:05,125
actually
2249
01:32:05,125 --> 01:32:05,958
factually not
2250
01:32:05,958 --> 01:32:07,041
true. And here's
2251
01:32:07,041 --> 01:32:07,625
the truth because
2252
01:32:07,625 --> 01:32:08,875
I want the other
2253
01:32:08,875 --> 01:32:10,583
people who look
2254
01:32:10,583 --> 01:32:11,500
at the comments.
2255
01:32:11,500 --> 01:32:12,000
I don't want them
2256
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:12,500
to think that
2257
01:32:12,500 --> 01:32:13,333
that's that I let
2258
01:32:13,333 --> 01:32:13,625
that go.
2259
01:32:13,625 --> 01:32:14,583
Because that is
2260
01:32:14,583 --> 01:32:16,041
true. Yeah. So
2261
01:32:16,041 --> 01:32:16,541
like there's some
2262
01:32:16,541 --> 01:32:17,166
of that that will
2263
01:32:17,166 --> 01:32:17,583
agree with me
2264
01:32:17,583 --> 01:32:18,041
like, oh, yeah.
2265
01:32:18,041 --> 01:32:18,666
And then I did so
2266
01:32:18,666 --> 01:32:19,041
and so I'm like,
2267
01:32:19,041 --> 01:32:19,750
that's true.
2268
01:32:19,750 --> 01:32:21,541
Okay, cool. I'll
2269
01:32:21,541 --> 01:32:22,125
just leave it be
2270
01:32:22,125 --> 01:32:22,750
I'll put a like
2271
01:32:22,750 --> 01:32:23,291
to it or
2272
01:32:23,291 --> 01:32:24,291
whatever. But for
2273
01:32:24,291 --> 01:32:25,208
the ones that are
2274
01:32:25,208 --> 01:32:26,250
false, I'll just
2275
01:32:26,250 --> 01:32:26,833
go on. I'll be
2276
01:32:26,833 --> 01:32:27,416
like, actually,
2277
01:32:27,791 --> 01:32:28,583
you know, you
2278
01:32:28,583 --> 01:32:29,416
know,
2279
01:32:30,083 --> 01:32:30,291
respectfully,
2280
01:32:30,291 --> 01:32:31,000
that's not true.
2281
01:32:31,250 --> 01:32:31,875
Here's here's
2282
01:32:31,875 --> 01:32:33,208
what evidence has
2283
01:32:33,208 --> 01:32:34,416
shown. If you can
2284
01:32:34,416 --> 01:32:34,875
show evidence,
2285
01:32:34,875 --> 01:32:35,500
show it and they
2286
01:32:35,500 --> 01:32:36,375
never do. Right.
2287
01:32:36,500 --> 01:32:36,833
It's that. But
2288
01:32:36,833 --> 01:32:37,500
yeah, it's that
2289
01:32:37,500 --> 01:32:37,958
fine line, isn't
2290
01:32:37,958 --> 01:32:38,875
it? You'll you
2291
01:32:38,875 --> 01:32:39,500
just get people
2292
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:40,291
even when you do
2293
01:32:40,291 --> 01:32:40,791
that sometimes
2294
01:32:40,791 --> 01:32:41,166
they'll just be
2295
01:32:41,166 --> 01:32:42,791
like, nope. Yeah.
2296
01:32:43,083 --> 01:32:43,625
Yeah. Yeah.
2297
01:32:43,625 --> 01:32:44,875
Exactly. I don't
2298
01:32:44,875 --> 01:32:45,583
get I don't get
2299
01:32:45,583 --> 01:32:46,250
near as many as
2300
01:32:46,250 --> 01:32:46,791
you guys. But
2301
01:32:46,791 --> 01:32:47,291
when I do, I
2302
01:32:47,291 --> 01:32:47,875
generally just
2303
01:32:47,875 --> 01:32:49,625
don't respond at
2304
01:32:49,625 --> 01:32:50,541
all. Unless it's
2305
01:32:50,541 --> 01:32:51,541
really something
2306
01:32:51,541 --> 01:32:52,833
I think I might
2307
01:32:52,833 --> 01:32:53,458
feel like, yeah,
2308
01:32:53,833 --> 01:32:54,541
say something. I
2309
01:32:54,541 --> 01:32:55,333
just it's just I
2310
01:32:55,333 --> 01:32:55,791
just find it's
2311
01:32:55,791 --> 01:32:56,875
just, if you just
2312
01:32:56,875 --> 01:32:57,666
just making that
2313
01:32:57,666 --> 01:32:58,458
comment, then you
2314
01:32:58,458 --> 01:32:58,916
suddenly you've
2315
01:32:58,916 --> 01:32:59,541
got this person
2316
01:32:59,541 --> 01:33:00,291
engaged, and then
2317
01:33:00,291 --> 01:33:00,541
they're just
2318
01:33:00,541 --> 01:33:01,291
going to unload
2319
01:33:01,291 --> 01:33:02,041
and just, yeah,
2320
01:33:02,541 --> 01:33:03,250
it's just, yeah,
2321
01:33:03,250 --> 01:33:03,791
it's a it's a
2322
01:33:03,791 --> 01:33:04,250
snowball
2323
01:33:04,250 --> 01:33:05,333
situation. Big
2324
01:33:05,333 --> 01:33:06,250
time. And I've
2325
01:33:06,250 --> 01:33:06,666
talked to some
2326
01:33:06,666 --> 01:33:07,291
people that have
2327
01:33:07,291 --> 01:33:08,000
like, like
2328
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:09,333
yourself have big
2329
01:33:09,333 --> 01:33:10,166
followings and
2330
01:33:10,166 --> 01:33:11,000
stuff. And it's
2331
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:11,583
just they just
2332
01:33:11,583 --> 01:33:12,208
say they just
2333
01:33:12,208 --> 01:33:12,958
stopped doing it
2334
01:33:12,958 --> 01:33:13,625
all together. But
2335
01:33:13,625 --> 01:33:14,208
I think it's a
2336
01:33:14,208 --> 01:33:14,500
tough thing. I
2337
01:33:14,500 --> 01:33:15,875
mean, but I think
2338
01:33:15,875 --> 01:33:16,916
with like the
2339
01:33:16,916 --> 01:33:17,500
scientists, I
2340
01:33:17,500 --> 01:33:19,500
think that's one
2341
01:33:19,500 --> 01:33:20,208
if I if I got
2342
01:33:20,208 --> 01:33:21,750
comments from a
2343
01:33:21,750 --> 01:33:23,416
scientist who I'd
2344
01:33:23,416 --> 01:33:24,541
maybe done a
2345
01:33:24,541 --> 01:33:25,708
video about their
2346
01:33:25,708 --> 01:33:26,208
research, I think
2347
01:33:26,208 --> 01:33:30,458
that's one of the things that I
2348
01:33:30,458 --> 01:33:30,791
would do. Yeah.
2349
01:33:46,291 --> 01:33:47,541
Yeah, it makes a
2350
01:33:47,541 --> 01:33:48,375
difference. Yeah.
2351
01:33:48,500 --> 01:33:49,083
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
2352
01:33:49,083 --> 01:33:49,291
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
2353
01:33:49,291 --> 01:33:49,916
That's that's a
2354
01:33:49,916 --> 01:33:50,333
different thing.
2355
01:33:50,333 --> 01:33:50,666
Like if it's
2356
01:33:50,666 --> 01:33:51,625
somebody I've
2357
01:33:51,625 --> 01:33:52,208
mentioned their
2358
01:33:52,208 --> 01:33:53,000
work or something
2359
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:53,625
that says, well, you missed that one or something. And I know I know the person I'm like, Okay, yeah, that that that's somebody I know. But if it's some random person, I'm not even sure who their hand is. Yeah.
2360
01:34:02,375 --> 01:34:04,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
2361
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:04,541
There's a lot of
2362
01:34:04,541 --> 01:34:05,291
one of the one of
2363
01:34:05,291 --> 01:34:05,916
the things that's
2364
01:34:05,916 --> 01:34:06,583
that's cropping
2365
01:34:06,583 --> 01:34:07,958
up a little bit
2366
01:34:07,958 --> 01:34:08,541
more at the
2367
01:34:08,541 --> 01:34:09,541
moment is so I
2368
01:34:09,541 --> 01:34:11,458
just did a video
2369
01:34:11,458 --> 01:34:11,625
that came out yesterday about Austin Gallagher's stuff that he did a couple of years back now
where they think the Insta 360 camera on the Tiger Shark and then the Seagrass Meadow stuff.
2370
01:34:24,166 --> 01:34:25,500
Yeah. And the
2371
01:34:25,500 --> 01:34:26,208
video is done
2372
01:34:26,208 --> 01:34:27,625
done well right
2373
01:34:27,625 --> 01:34:28,583
over overnight
2374
01:34:28,583 --> 01:34:30,041
and Austin knew
2375
01:34:30,041 --> 01:34:30,708
that I was going
2376
01:34:30,708 --> 01:34:31,625
to going to be making it. He was really helpful. Kind of gave me some footage to use that kind of stuff. So so he knew that was going to happen. But I always one of my worries is there's there's quite a lot of people in the comments.
2377
01:34:41,416 --> 01:34:42,458
I've been looking
2378
01:34:42,458 --> 01:34:43,208
at today have
2379
01:34:43,208 --> 01:34:44,458
been like that
2380
01:34:44,458 --> 01:34:45,500
tags like way too
2381
01:34:45,500 --> 01:34:46,000
big for that
2382
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:46,833
shark. It looks
2383
01:34:46,833 --> 01:34:48,083
massive and I
2384
01:34:48,083 --> 01:34:48,500
look at it and
2385
01:34:48,500 --> 01:34:49,458
go, Oh God, like,
2386
01:34:49,458 --> 01:34:50,208
you know, now
2387
01:34:50,208 --> 01:34:50,625
people are
2388
01:34:50,625 --> 01:34:51,333
thinking beneath
2389
01:34:51,333 --> 01:34:51,833
the waves are
2390
01:34:51,833 --> 01:34:52,250
putting these
2391
01:34:52,250 --> 01:34:52,625
monster ridiculous size tags on because because I didn't take that 30 seconds in
the video to be like, Oh, yes, the tag is only less than the size of the shark.
2392
01:34:52,625 --> 01:34:58,458
This type of
2393
01:34:58,458 --> 01:35:03,833
thing. But the
2394
01:35:03,833 --> 01:35:04,708
360 cameras
2395
01:35:04,708 --> 01:35:05,708
warping it making
2396
01:35:05,708 --> 01:35:06,416
it look bigger.
2397
01:35:06,416 --> 01:35:07,125
People don't see
2398
01:35:07,125 --> 01:35:07,666
that they see a
2399
01:35:07,666 --> 01:35:08,500
big orange thing.
2400
01:35:08,500 --> 01:35:09,541
Oh my God. Yeah,
2401
01:35:09,541 --> 01:35:10,125
that's way too
2402
01:35:10,125 --> 01:35:11,125
big. This, you
2403
01:35:11,125 --> 01:35:11,375
know, this
2404
01:35:11,375 --> 01:35:11,958
beneath the waves
2405
01:35:11,958 --> 01:35:12,625
companies doing
2406
01:35:12,625 --> 01:35:13,458
awful things to
2407
01:35:13,458 --> 01:35:14,541
Tiger Shark.
2408
01:35:14,791 --> 01:35:16,041
Oh God, what like
2409
01:35:16,041 --> 01:35:16,625
I saw since
2410
01:35:16,625 --> 01:35:17,291
seeing that now
2411
01:35:17,291 --> 01:35:18,083
and going, why
2412
01:35:18,083 --> 01:35:18,416
have you done
2413
01:35:18,416 --> 01:35:19,333
this to me? Yeah,
2414
01:35:19,333 --> 01:35:20,250
yeah, yeah, yeah.
2415
01:35:20,250 --> 01:35:20,875
But I also think
2416
01:35:20,875 --> 01:35:21,625
I also feel like I know what you mean. And some of the things that I've been doing is that I've been doing this for a long time.
2417
01:35:21,666 --> 01:35:22,125
I know what you
2418
01:35:22,125 --> 01:35:22,541
mean. And
2419
01:35:22,541 --> 01:35:22,958
sometimes you
2420
01:35:22,958 --> 01:35:23,416
can't predict
2421
01:35:23,416 --> 01:35:24,166
these because you
2422
01:35:24,166 --> 01:35:24,708
don't think about
2423
01:35:24,708 --> 01:35:25,000
it, right?
2424
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:25,541
Because you know
2425
01:35:25,541 --> 01:35:26,333
that it's not
2426
01:35:26,333 --> 01:35:27,166
that big and you
2427
01:35:27,166 --> 01:35:27,708
know, it's also
2428
01:35:27,708 --> 01:35:28,125
you don't think
2429
01:35:28,125 --> 01:35:29,500
about it. But I
2430
01:35:29,500 --> 01:35:30,000
feel like that's
2431
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:30,875
it. That's almost
2432
01:35:30,875 --> 01:35:31,291
like another
2433
01:35:31,291 --> 01:35:31,916
video where you
2434
01:35:31,916 --> 01:35:32,625
can actually
2435
01:35:32,625 --> 01:35:33,833
educate people on
2436
01:35:33,833 --> 01:35:34,750
because it's a
2437
01:35:34,750 --> 01:35:36,500
it's a it's a I
2438
01:35:36,500 --> 01:35:37,125
like it's a
2439
01:35:37,125 --> 01:35:37,875
critic. Like it's
2440
01:35:37,875 --> 01:35:38,875
a critique, but
2441
01:35:38,875 --> 01:35:39,166
you're like, Oh
2442
01:35:39,166 --> 01:35:39,916
yeah, I see that
2443
01:35:39,916 --> 01:35:41,041
I can do either
2444
01:35:41,041 --> 01:35:41,958
another video or
2445
01:35:41,958 --> 01:35:42,791
I can address it
2446
01:35:42,791 --> 01:35:43,458
in the comments
2447
01:35:43,458 --> 01:35:44,166
or I've got it
2448
01:35:44,166 --> 01:35:44,750
written down.
2449
01:35:44,750 --> 01:35:45,458
I've got the
2450
01:35:45,458 --> 01:35:46,750
idea. It's on my
2451
01:35:46,750 --> 01:35:47,208
phone. I can
2452
01:35:47,208 --> 01:35:47,833
share it to you.
2453
01:35:47,833 --> 01:35:48,583
It says does
2454
01:35:48,583 --> 01:35:49,500
tagging hurt
2455
01:35:49,500 --> 01:35:50,625
sharks and that's not going to be good.
2456
01:35:50,666 --> 01:35:51,666
That's going to
2457
01:35:51,666 --> 01:35:52,625
be the title, but
2458
01:35:52,625 --> 01:35:53,291
it's something
2459
01:35:53,291 --> 01:35:54,125
like that. I
2460
01:35:54,125 --> 01:35:54,958
mean, because of
2461
01:35:54,958 --> 01:35:55,583
that right there
2462
01:35:55,583 --> 01:35:57,291
is as it's about
2463
01:35:57,291 --> 01:35:58,000
finding these
2464
01:35:58,000 --> 01:35:58,625
little topics
2465
01:35:58,625 --> 01:35:59,708
that where you're
2466
01:35:59,708 --> 01:36:00,208
going to get a
2467
01:36:00,208 --> 01:36:00,625
bunch of people
2468
01:36:00,625 --> 01:36:01,041
that are being
2469
01:36:01,041 --> 01:36:01,833
like, yes, it
2470
01:36:01,833 --> 01:36:02,666
absolutely does.
2471
01:36:02,666 --> 01:36:02,958
And then you're
2472
01:36:02,958 --> 01:36:03,458
going to get a
2473
01:36:03,458 --> 01:36:04,250
few other people
2474
01:36:04,250 --> 01:36:05,333
going, I know
2475
01:36:05,333 --> 01:36:05,750
it's important
2476
01:36:05,750 --> 01:36:06,375
for the science.
2477
01:36:06,625 --> 01:36:07,083
And then suddenly
2478
01:36:07,083 --> 01:36:07,708
you've got, you
2479
01:36:07,708 --> 01:36:08,625
know, debate and
2480
01:36:08,625 --> 01:36:09,666
engagement and
2481
01:36:09,666 --> 01:36:10,666
the wheels start
2482
01:36:10,666 --> 01:36:10,875
turning.
2483
01:36:11,625 --> 01:36:12,041
Well, the thing
2484
01:36:12,041 --> 01:36:12,541
is, you know,
2485
01:36:13,083 --> 01:36:13,583
whenever I hear
2486
01:36:13,583 --> 01:36:14,833
that comes up,
2487
01:36:14,833 --> 01:36:15,250
like when we
2488
01:36:15,250 --> 01:36:16,375
people get like
2489
01:36:16,375 --> 01:36:17,125
what we call an
2490
01:36:17,125 --> 01:36:18,000
IACUC here in the
2491
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:18,541
States, like an
2492
01:36:18,541 --> 01:36:18,958
animal
2493
01:36:18,958 --> 01:36:20,791
health thing.
2494
01:36:21,708 --> 01:36:22,250
And I've never
2495
01:36:22,250 --> 01:36:22,791
been I've never
2496
01:36:22,791 --> 01:36:24,458
really done. I've
2497
01:36:24,458 --> 01:36:25,000
been involved in
2498
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:25,458
a little bit of
2499
01:36:25,458 --> 01:36:26,083
tagging. It's not
2500
01:36:26,083 --> 01:36:26,791
really my thing.
2501
01:36:26,791 --> 01:36:27,416
I have other I'm
2502
01:36:27,416 --> 01:36:27,958
usually like just
2503
01:36:27,958 --> 01:36:29,541
a side side
2504
01:36:29,541 --> 01:36:30,291
person on it.
2505
01:36:30,500 --> 01:36:31,833
But but you get
2506
01:36:31,833 --> 01:36:32,500
these people like
2507
01:36:32,500 --> 01:36:33,208
they think, well,
2508
01:36:33,208 --> 01:36:33,750
how much you're
2509
01:36:33,750 --> 01:36:34,125
hurting the
2510
01:36:34,125 --> 01:36:34,625
shark? I'm
2511
01:36:34,625 --> 01:36:35,166
thinking like,
2512
01:36:35,541 --> 01:36:35,958
have you ever
2513
01:36:35,958 --> 01:36:36,708
watched sharks,
2514
01:36:36,708 --> 01:36:38,625
mate? Literally,
2515
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:39,375
you're tough.
2516
01:36:39,625 --> 01:36:40,166
You look at the
2517
01:36:40,166 --> 01:36:40,708
females,
2518
01:36:41,083 --> 01:36:41,416
particularly
2519
01:36:41,416 --> 01:36:42,041
after mating
2520
01:36:42,041 --> 01:36:42,875
event, they look
2521
01:36:42,875 --> 01:36:43,750
you're like, how
2522
01:36:43,750 --> 01:36:44,083
is this thing
2523
01:36:44,083 --> 01:36:44,500
still alive?
2524
01:36:44,750 --> 01:36:46,333
Yeah. Yeah. And
2525
01:36:46,333 --> 01:36:46,875
they and they
2526
01:36:46,875 --> 01:36:47,791
heal up within a
2527
01:36:47,791 --> 01:36:48,458
couple of weeks.
2528
01:36:48,458 --> 01:36:49,041
You never see
2529
01:36:49,041 --> 01:36:50,458
some scars. Yeah.
2530
01:36:50,666 --> 01:36:51,541
Yeah. And so I
2531
01:36:51,541 --> 01:36:52,583
guess the point
2532
01:36:52,583 --> 01:36:53,000
is like sharks
2533
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:53,375
are a lot
2534
01:36:53,375 --> 01:36:54,666
tougher, you
2535
01:36:54,666 --> 01:36:55,791
know, that if I
2536
01:36:55,791 --> 01:36:56,416
mean, to me, like
2537
01:36:56,416 --> 01:36:57,000
putting the tag
2538
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:57,750
on pretty
2539
01:36:57,750 --> 01:36:58,208
minimal.
2540
01:36:58,791 --> 01:36:59,208
Yeah. Now, if
2541
01:36:59,208 --> 01:36:59,583
it's sometimes,
2542
01:36:59,583 --> 01:37:00,500
you know, I think
2543
01:37:00,500 --> 01:37:01,416
sometimes you can
2544
01:37:01,416 --> 01:37:02,375
the thing with
2545
01:37:02,375 --> 01:37:03,375
the tags, you can
2546
01:37:03,375 --> 01:37:04,000
attract other
2547
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:04,541
sharks, which
2548
01:37:04,541 --> 01:37:05,416
might go for the
2549
01:37:05,416 --> 01:37:07,000
tag. That happens
2550
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:08,208
on that's well
2551
01:37:08,208 --> 01:37:08,708
known and like
2552
01:37:08,708 --> 01:37:09,166
terrestrial
2553
01:37:09,166 --> 01:37:09,791
animals when they
2554
01:37:09,791 --> 01:37:11,125
used to one of
2555
01:37:11,125 --> 01:37:11,916
the famous things
2556
01:37:11,916 --> 01:37:12,541
they used to tag
2557
01:37:12,541 --> 01:37:13,375
like wildebeest
2558
01:37:13,375 --> 01:37:13,625
in Africa.
2559
01:37:13,625 --> 01:37:14,750
And they would
2560
01:37:14,750 --> 01:37:15,666
they would paint
2561
01:37:15,666 --> 01:37:16,666
the horn tag the
2562
01:37:16,666 --> 01:37:17,208
horn so they
2563
01:37:17,208 --> 01:37:17,708
could the
2564
01:37:17,708 --> 01:37:18,625
researchers could
2565
01:37:18,625 --> 01:37:19,916
see it. And what
2566
01:37:19,916 --> 01:37:20,583
happened was the
2567
01:37:20,583 --> 01:37:21,125
lions and the
2568
01:37:21,125 --> 01:37:22,541
hyenas would zero
2569
01:37:22,541 --> 01:37:23,750
in and take those
2570
01:37:23,750 --> 01:37:24,208
the ones they
2571
01:37:24,208 --> 01:37:24,708
would take out of
2572
01:37:24,708 --> 01:37:25,500
the herd because
2573
01:37:25,500 --> 01:37:26,000
they could keep
2574
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:27,500
it focused on on
2575
01:37:27,500 --> 01:37:27,875
the one that
2576
01:37:27,875 --> 01:37:28,625
was tagged.
2577
01:37:28,625 --> 01:37:30,083
Yeah. And so the
2578
01:37:30,083 --> 01:37:30,833
so they're kind
2579
01:37:30,833 --> 01:37:31,541
of like in that
2580
01:37:31,541 --> 01:37:32,000
case was a
2581
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:32,458
different thing
2582
01:37:32,458 --> 01:37:33,000
that was there.
2583
01:37:33,500 --> 01:37:34,125
They were they
2584
01:37:34,125 --> 01:37:34,666
were basically
2585
01:37:34,666 --> 01:37:35,333
telling the
2586
01:37:35,333 --> 01:37:35,958
predators like,
2587
01:37:35,958 --> 01:37:36,750
hey, come eat me.
2588
01:37:37,250 --> 01:37:38,166
Right. Right.
2589
01:37:38,333 --> 01:37:39,458
Yeah. Yeah. So
2590
01:37:39,458 --> 01:37:40,583
that's that's a
2591
01:37:40,583 --> 01:37:41,458
legitimate thing.
2592
01:37:41,458 --> 01:37:42,041
You could you
2593
01:37:42,041 --> 01:37:42,458
could debate
2594
01:37:42,458 --> 01:37:42,625
about like,
2595
01:37:42,625 --> 01:37:44,250
putting a tag on
2596
01:37:44,250 --> 01:37:44,708
there that's not
2597
01:37:44,708 --> 01:37:45,208
going to attract
2598
01:37:45,208 --> 01:37:46,375
other sharks that
2599
01:37:46,375 --> 01:37:47,000
might cause them
2600
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:47,833
to eat eat them
2601
01:37:47,833 --> 01:37:48,500
or something like
2602
01:37:48,500 --> 01:37:50,000
that. Yeah. Yeah.
2603
01:37:50,083 --> 01:37:50,625
And to be fair,
2604
01:37:50,625 --> 01:37:51,291
you know, that's
2605
01:37:51,291 --> 01:37:52,833
I see that was a
2606
01:37:52,833 --> 01:37:54,041
couple of a
2607
01:37:54,041 --> 01:37:54,333
couple of
2608
01:37:54,333 --> 01:37:54,625
commenters
2609
01:37:54,625 --> 01:37:55,250
concerns. They
2610
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:55,666
were going, you
2611
01:37:55,666 --> 01:37:56,541
know, just does
2612
01:37:56,541 --> 01:37:57,250
that does that
2613
01:37:57,250 --> 01:37:57,625
tag attract other sharks?
2614
01:37:57,625 --> 01:37:59,000
And then you kind
2615
01:37:59,000 --> 01:37:59,791
of then you're
2616
01:37:59,791 --> 01:38:00,333
talking about,
2617
01:38:00,333 --> 01:38:01,500
you know, how
2618
01:38:01,500 --> 01:38:03,166
light starts to
2619
01:38:03,166 --> 01:38:04,500
sort of diffuse
2620
01:38:04,500 --> 01:38:05,541
as you go deeper.
2621
01:38:05,916 --> 01:38:06,833
So, you know, a
2622
01:38:06,833 --> 01:38:07,583
bright orange tag
2623
01:38:07,583 --> 01:38:08,250
at the surface
2624
01:38:08,250 --> 01:38:08,875
isn't going to
2625
01:38:08,875 --> 01:38:09,208
look bright
2626
01:38:09,208 --> 01:38:10,250
orange down, you
2627
01:38:10,250 --> 01:38:10,833
know, down at
2628
01:38:10,833 --> 01:38:11,875
whatever 40 50
2629
01:38:11,875 --> 01:38:13,041
meters. So there
2630
01:38:13,041 --> 01:38:13,916
are so many
2631
01:38:13,916 --> 01:38:14,666
different kind of
2632
01:38:14,666 --> 01:38:15,375
permutations of
2633
01:38:15,375 --> 01:38:15,625
it, isn't there? Yeah.
2634
01:38:15,666 --> 01:38:16,583
Yeah. I mean, I
2635
01:38:16,583 --> 01:38:18,041
go go go. So I
2636
01:38:18,041 --> 01:38:18,666
just wanted like,
2637
01:38:18,875 --> 01:38:20,000
you know, one
2638
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:20,750
thing I want to
2639
01:38:20,750 --> 01:38:21,708
when we got onto
2640
01:38:21,708 --> 01:38:22,375
this on this
2641
01:38:22,375 --> 01:38:22,833
topic, because I
2642
01:38:22,833 --> 01:38:23,166
want to dive
2643
01:38:23,166 --> 01:38:24,500
into, you know,
2644
01:38:24,583 --> 01:38:25,000
the YouTube
2645
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:25,708
channel and your
2646
01:38:25,708 --> 01:38:25,916
science
2647
01:38:25,916 --> 01:38:26,375
communication.
2648
01:38:26,750 --> 01:38:27,583
But, you know,
2649
01:38:27,583 --> 01:38:28,708
you mentioned you
2650
01:38:28,708 --> 01:38:29,291
started the
2651
01:38:29,291 --> 01:38:29,958
channel because
2652
01:38:29,958 --> 01:38:30,333
you were looking
2653
01:38:30,333 --> 01:38:32,125
for a job. Now,
2654
01:38:32,458 --> 01:38:33,458
for me, the
2655
01:38:33,458 --> 01:38:34,666
podcast changed
2656
01:38:34,666 --> 01:38:36,000
my life in ways
2657
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:36,500
that I never
2658
01:38:36,500 --> 01:38:37,541
expected, you
2659
01:38:37,541 --> 01:38:37,833
know, I was
2660
01:38:37,833 --> 01:38:38,250
starting to get
2661
01:38:38,250 --> 01:38:38,916
attention from a
2662
01:38:38,916 --> 01:38:39,125
lot of
2663
01:38:39,125 --> 01:38:39,625
scientists.
2664
01:38:39,625 --> 01:38:40,000
I was starting to
2665
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:40,375
get attention
2666
01:38:40,375 --> 01:38:41,291
from a lot of
2667
01:38:41,291 --> 01:38:42,291

had the
2670
01:38:43,958 --> 01:38:44,875
opportunity to
2671
01:38:44,875 --> 01:38:46,041
cover conferences
2672
01:38:46,041 --> 01:38:46,708
where they flew
2673
01:38:46,708 --> 01:38:47,583

2674
01:38:47,750 --> 01:38:48,208

2675
01:38:48,208 --> 01:38:48,875
the world to go
2676
01:38:48,875 --> 01:38:50,208
and I've had that
2677
01:38:50,208 --> 01:38:50,958
that that
2678
01:38:50,958 --> 01:38:51,625
privilege to be
2679
01:38:51,625 --> 01:38:52,083
able to do that
2680
01:38:52,083 --> 01:38:52,833
because of the
2681
01:38:52,833 --> 01:38:54,166
podcast I have
2682
01:38:54,166 --> 01:38:54,958

and I've I've
2687
01:39:00,041 --> 01:39:00,958
been able to do
2688
01:39:00,958 --> 01:39:02,125
like I was did a
2689
01:39:02,125 --> 01:39:03,041
podcast for the
2690
01:39:03,041 --> 01:39:04,125
zoo because of
2691
01:39:04,125 --> 01:39:04,791
the podcast my
2692
01:39:04,791 --> 01:39:05,333
podcasting
2693
01:39:05,333 --> 01:39:05,750
experience.
2694
01:39:06,625 --> 01:39:08,291
And for you, did
2695
01:39:08,291 --> 01:39:09,208
you find that
2696
01:39:09,208 --> 01:39:09,958
starting this
2697
01:39:09,958 --> 01:39:11,500
channel in any
2698
01:39:11,500 --> 01:39:13,500
way help get you
2699
01:39:13,500 --> 01:39:15,375
noticed for a
2700
01:39:15,375 --> 01:39:17,375
job? Like, did it
2701
01:39:17,375 --> 01:39:18,250
help your your
2702
01:39:18,250 --> 01:39:19,125
because for you
2703
01:39:19,125 --> 01:39:19,958
can argue some
2704
01:39:19,958 --> 01:39:20,666
for some people,
2705
01:39:20,666 --> 01:39:21,166
depending on what
2706
01:39:21,166 --> 01:39:21,750
you're doing,
2707
01:39:22,125 --> 01:39:22,875
that it could go
2708
01:39:22,875 --> 01:39:24,666
against you by
2709
01:39:24,666 --> 01:39:25,041
doing social
2710
01:39:25,041 --> 01:39:25,416
media, because
2711
01:39:25,416 --> 01:39:25,916
there's just some
2712
01:39:25,916 --> 01:39:26,500
people who just
2713
01:39:26,500 --> 01:39:27,625
don't like social
2714
01:39:27,625 --> 01:39:28,125
media, or they
2715
01:39:28,125 --> 01:39:28,666
think that it
2716
01:39:28,666 --> 01:39:29,125
might bring
2717
01:39:29,125 --> 01:39:29,458
negative
2718
01:39:29,458 --> 01:39:29,958
attention, not
2719
01:39:29,958 --> 01:39:30,208
that your
2720
01:39:30,208 --> 01:39:30,958
videos would.
2721
01:39:31,625 --> 01:39:32,083
But you know,
2722
01:39:32,083 --> 01:39:32,458
it's like some
2723
01:39:32,458 --> 01:39:33,291
people might see
2724
01:39:33,291 --> 01:39:33,958
it that way. And
2725
01:39:33,958 --> 01:39:34,416
then on the other
2726
01:39:34,416 --> 01:39:34,916
side, it could
2727
01:39:34,916 --> 01:39:35,375
help you because
2728
01:39:35,375 --> 01:39:36,291
it gets you like,
2729
01:39:36,875 --> 01:39:38,333
I feel like I
2730
01:39:38,333 --> 01:39:39,500
know you better,
2731
01:39:39,500 --> 01:39:40,833
because I watch
2732
01:39:40,833 --> 01:39:42,250
the videos on a
2733
01:39:42,250 --> 01:39:42,958
regular basis.
2734
01:39:43,583 --> 01:39:44,291
So I get to know
2735
01:39:44,291 --> 01:39:44,875
your personality
2736
01:39:44,875 --> 01:39:45,583
a little bit. I
2737
01:39:45,583 --> 01:39:46,166
get to know, you
2738
01:39:46,166 --> 01:39:46,541
know, so your
2739
01:39:46,541 --> 01:39:47,291
mannerisms, it's
2740
01:39:47,291 --> 01:39:47,708
a bit of a
2741
01:39:47,708 --> 01:39:48,500
networking thing
2742
01:39:48,500 --> 01:39:49,083
without you
2743
01:39:49,083 --> 01:39:49,750
having to go out
2744
01:39:49,750 --> 01:39:50,708
and network. So I
2745
01:39:50,708 --> 01:39:51,000
would love to
2746
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:51,875
know if it helped
2747
01:39:51,875 --> 01:39:52,833
or in any kind of
2748
01:39:52,833 --> 01:39:54,083
way of like how
2749
01:39:54,083 --> 01:39:54,583
people have
2750
01:39:54,583 --> 01:39:55,375
treated you
2751
01:39:55,375 --> 01:39:56,625
because of this
2752
01:39:56,625 --> 01:39:58,208
in retrospect to
2753
01:39:58,208 --> 01:39:58,916
the profession.
2754
01:39:59,625 --> 01:40:00,333
So it's a bit of
2755
01:40:00,333 --> 01:40:01,000
both actually,
2756
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:02,750
Andrew. So back a
2757
01:40:02,750 --> 01:40:03,541
couple of years
2758
01:40:03,541 --> 01:40:04,583
ago now, I can't
2759
01:40:04,583 --> 01:40:05,083
I can't remember
2760
01:40:05,083 --> 01:40:06,041
the exact date.
2761
01:40:06,916 --> 01:40:07,333
And I'm gonna
2762
01:40:07,333 --> 01:40:07,875
name drop them
2763
01:40:07,875 --> 01:40:08,166
because you've
2764
01:40:08,166 --> 01:40:08,708
had a few on the
2765
01:40:08,708 --> 01:40:10,666
channel. But I
2766
01:40:10,666 --> 01:40:11,125
applied for a
2767
01:40:11,125 --> 01:40:11,833
sharp trust job,
2768
01:40:11,833 --> 01:40:13,125
right? So what
2769
01:40:13,125 --> 01:40:15,416
the job was, I'm
2770
01:40:15,416 --> 01:40:15,833
sure it was
2771
01:40:15,833 --> 01:40:16,416
titled something
2772
01:40:16,416 --> 01:40:18,541
like science
2773
01:40:18,541 --> 01:40:19,375
communicator,
2774
01:40:19,375 --> 01:40:19,625
right?
2775
01:40:19,625 --> 01:40:20,416
Right. That was
2776
01:40:20,416 --> 01:40:21,708
the job. And the
2777
01:40:21,708 --> 01:40:22,708
and the remit was
2778
01:40:22,708 --> 01:40:23,833
revamp the
2779
01:40:23,833 --> 01:40:24,583
YouTube channel.
2780
01:40:25,166 --> 01:40:26,083
Yes, revamp the
2781
01:40:26,083 --> 01:40:26,500
sharp trust
2782
01:40:26,500 --> 01:40:27,125
YouTube channel,
2783
01:40:27,125 --> 01:40:27,666
bring in new
2784
01:40:27,666 --> 01:40:28,916
ideas, all this
2785
01:40:28,916 --> 01:40:29,500
kind of stuff.
2786
01:40:29,500 --> 01:40:29,958
And I looked at
2787
01:40:29,958 --> 01:40:31,000
that, a couple of
2788
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:31,833
years ago, I
2789
01:40:31,833 --> 01:40:32,250
think it was
2790
01:40:32,250 --> 01:40:32,750
about three years
2791
01:40:32,750 --> 01:40:34,041
ago, I looked at
2792
01:40:34,041 --> 01:40:35,041
it and went, wow,
2793
01:40:35,791 --> 01:40:36,458
that's exactly
2794
01:40:36,458 --> 01:40:36,958
what I'm doing
2795
01:40:36,958 --> 01:40:37,416
right now.
2796
01:40:37,666 --> 01:40:38,166
And at the time,
2797
01:40:38,166 --> 01:40:38,666
I think I had
2798
01:40:38,666 --> 01:40:39,791
maybe like 60,000
2799
01:40:39,791 --> 01:40:40,500
subscribers, the
2800
01:40:40,500 --> 01:40:41,000
channel was doing
2801
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:41,958
okay, like it was
2802
01:40:41,958 --> 01:40:43,083
pulling in the
2803
01:40:43,083 --> 01:40:44,791
views, applied
2804
01:40:44,791 --> 01:40:46,583
for the job and
2805
01:40:46,583 --> 01:40:47,500
didn't get an
2806
01:40:47,500 --> 01:40:49,166
interview. And I
2807
01:40:49,166 --> 01:40:50,250
know Paul, so I
2808
01:40:50,250 --> 01:40:51,291
know Paul, the
2809
01:40:51,291 --> 01:40:52,625
director of the
2810
01:40:52,625 --> 01:40:53,083
the chartress, we
2811
01:40:53,083 --> 01:40:53,333
have a good
2812
01:40:53,333 --> 01:40:53,625
working
2813
01:40:53,625 --> 01:40:54,041
relationship
2814
01:40:54,041 --> 01:40:54,916
together with the
2815
01:40:54,916 --> 01:40:55,500
shark and
2816
01:40:55,500 --> 01:40:56,000
reentanglement
2817
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:56,291
network.
2818
01:40:56,666 --> 01:40:57,375
And I called him
2819
01:40:57,375 --> 01:40:59,166
up, just to ask
2820
01:40:59,166 --> 01:41:00,125
him, I said, you
2821
01:41:00,125 --> 01:41:01,125
know, I'd love to
2822
01:41:01,125 --> 01:41:01,708
have a bit of
2823
01:41:01,708 --> 01:41:02,708
feedback and see
2824
01:41:02,708 --> 01:41:03,750
what went wrong.
2825
01:41:04,583 --> 01:41:05,208
And he said in
2826
01:41:05,208 --> 01:41:05,875
that occasion,
2827
01:41:06,791 --> 01:41:09,625
that I was what
2828
01:41:09,625 --> 01:41:10,500
he said was the
2829
01:41:10,500 --> 01:41:11,375
face, right? And
2830
01:41:11,375 --> 01:41:12,125
they maybe didn't
2831
01:41:12,125 --> 01:41:13,000
want necessarily
2832
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:14,833
a face, because
2833
01:41:14,833 --> 01:41:15,916
maybe the risk
2834
01:41:15,916 --> 01:41:17,375
with that is, if
2835
01:41:17,375 --> 01:41:19,041
I then sort of,
2836
01:41:19,041 --> 01:41:19,541
you know, cut,
2837
01:41:19,541 --> 01:41:19,958
yeah, if I come
2838
01:41:19,958 --> 01:41:20,541
to the chartress
2839
01:41:20,541 --> 01:41:21,291
channel, and I
2840
01:41:21,291 --> 01:41:22,666
and I do, you
2841
01:41:22,666 --> 01:41:23,375
know, talking
2842
01:41:23,375 --> 01:41:23,916
head style
2843
01:41:23,916 --> 01:41:25,416
videos, and then
2844
01:41:25,416 --> 01:41:25,625
in five years time, I live with a lot of people,
and I'm like, I'm not gonna do that.
2845
01:41:25,625 --> 01:41:26,250
And five years
2846
01:41:26,250 --> 01:41:28,000
time I leave all
2847
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:28,791
those people that
2848
01:41:28,791 --> 01:41:30,250
came and, and you
2849
01:41:30,250 --> 01:41:30,875
know, subscribed,
2850
01:41:30,875 --> 01:41:32,000
because of me
2851
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:32,833
leave as well.
2852
01:41:33,625 --> 01:41:34,750
And I understood
2853
01:41:34,750 --> 01:41:35,875
that I got it. I
2854
01:41:35,875 --> 01:41:36,625
was like, you
2855
01:41:36,625 --> 01:41:37,166
know what, I get
2856
01:41:37,166 --> 01:41:38,125
that. I think
2857
01:41:38,125 --> 01:41:39,125
it's fair. I was
2858
01:41:39,125 --> 01:41:39,916
disappointed. Of
2859
01:41:39,916 --> 01:41:40,250
course, I was
2860
01:41:40,250 --> 01:41:40,541
disappointed
2861
01:41:40,541 --> 01:41:41,541
because I was, I
2862
01:41:41,541 --> 01:41:42,083
was, it was in
2863
01:41:42,083 --> 01:41:42,250
that
2864
01:41:42,250 --> 01:41:42,625
period of time.
2865
01:41:42,666 --> 01:41:43,208
I'm going to find
2866
01:41:43,208 --> 01:41:43,791
loads of jobs.
2867
01:41:44,125 --> 01:41:44,541
Yeah, absolutely.
2868
01:41:45,125 --> 01:41:45,625
And let's be
2869
01:41:45,625 --> 01:41:45,916
honest to you.
2870
01:41:45,916 --> 01:41:46,666
Like you said
2871
01:41:46,666 --> 01:41:47,500
60,000, your,
2872
01:41:47,500 --> 01:41:48,166
your channels
2873
01:41:48,166 --> 01:41:48,666
doing okay.
2874
01:41:49,083 --> 01:41:51,416
That's amazing. I
2875
01:41:51,416 --> 01:41:51,833
know you're,
2876
01:41:51,833 --> 01:41:52,500
you're at, I'm
2877
01:41:52,500 --> 01:41:52,958
looking at your
2878
01:41:52,958 --> 01:41:53,541
channel. I think
2879
01:41:53,541 --> 01:41:53,875
you're at like
2880
01:41:53,875 --> 01:41:55,958
100, 156,000
2881
01:41:55,958 --> 01:41:56,666
right now, which
2882
01:41:56,666 --> 01:41:57,958
is beyond
2883
01:41:57,958 --> 01:41:58,375
amazing.
2884
01:41:58,625 --> 01:42:00,083
But 60,000 is
2885
01:42:00,083 --> 01:42:01,125
phenomenal to
2886
01:42:01,125 --> 01:42:01,875
have like that's
2887
01:42:01,875 --> 01:42:02,958
a big, I consider
2888
01:42:02,958 --> 01:42:03,500
that a big
2889
01:42:03,500 --> 01:42:03,791
channel,
2890
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:05,458
especially for a
2891
01:42:05,458 --> 01:42:06,250
marine science
2892
01:42:06,250 --> 01:42:07,666
channel. I know
2893
01:42:07,666 --> 01:42:08,625
it's, it's mostly
2894
01:42:08,625 --> 01:42:09,125
sharks, but
2895
01:42:09,125 --> 01:42:10,500
that's huge to
2896
01:42:10,500 --> 01:42:11,583
cover science on
2897
01:42:11,583 --> 01:42:12,000
that. So that's
2898
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:12,666
like, you're a
2899
01:42:12,666 --> 01:42:13,708
pretty big deal
2900
01:42:13,708 --> 01:42:14,500
at this point,
2901
01:42:14,500 --> 01:42:15,500
even with 60,000
2902
01:42:15,500 --> 01:42:16,958
K, you know,
2903
01:42:16,958 --> 01:42:17,708
within this whole
2904
01:42:17,708 --> 01:42:19,000
area of science
2905
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:19,916
communication on
2906
01:42:19,916 --> 01:42:20,625
YouTube, right?
2907
01:42:20,666 --> 01:42:22,208
Yeah, I mean, I
2908
01:42:22,208 --> 01:42:22,833
never see it that
2909
01:42:22,833 --> 01:42:23,625
I never look at
2910
01:42:23,625 --> 01:42:24,458
it. You're always
2911
01:42:24,458 --> 01:42:24,833
your biggest
2912
01:42:24,833 --> 01:42:25,625
self-critic. But
2913
01:42:25,625 --> 01:42:26,416
of course, it's
2914
01:42:26,416 --> 01:42:27,208
really nice to
2915
01:42:27,208 --> 01:42:28,458
hear that. Yeah.
2916
01:42:28,625 --> 01:42:29,250
You know, at
2917
01:42:29,250 --> 01:42:30,250
60,000, I was
2918
01:42:30,250 --> 01:42:31,625
like, I've got to
2919
01:42:31,625 --> 01:42:32,458
be I've got to be
2920
01:42:32,458 --> 01:42:33,416
a shoe in for at
2921
01:42:33,416 --> 01:42:33,750
least an
2922
01:42:33,750 --> 01:42:34,375
interview here,
2923
01:42:34,375 --> 01:42:35,583
right? But I
2924
01:42:35,583 --> 01:42:36,416
understood it. So
2925
01:42:36,416 --> 01:42:37,125
that was a
2926
01:42:37,125 --> 01:42:37,916
situation where
2927
01:42:37,916 --> 01:42:38,791
it's not helped
2928
01:42:38,791 --> 01:42:40,375
me, right? So you
2929
01:42:40,375 --> 01:42:40,958
think it might
2930
01:42:40,958 --> 01:42:41,750
help the job
2931
01:42:41,750 --> 01:42:42,625
looks right. It
2932
01:42:42,625 --> 01:42:43,916
looks bang on for
2933
01:42:43,916 --> 01:42:44,291
what you want to
2934
01:42:44,291 --> 01:42:45,500
do. Didn't work.
2935
01:42:45,875 --> 01:42:46,208
But there are
2936
01:42:46,208 --> 01:42:46,833
other cases where
2937
01:42:46,833 --> 01:42:47,750
it has helped. So
2938
01:42:47,750 --> 01:42:49,625
I was super excited.
2939
01:42:49,625 --> 01:42:52,083
Last summer to
2940
01:42:52,083 --> 01:42:53,750
make my shark
2941
01:42:53,750 --> 01:42:54,666
week debut, which
2942
01:42:54,666 --> 01:42:55,250
is one of these
2943
01:42:55,250 --> 01:42:56,291
things as like a
2944
01:42:56,291 --> 01:42:57,958
kid, you just I
2945
01:42:57,958 --> 01:42:58,583
don't know, I
2946
01:42:58,583 --> 01:42:59,125
like when I was
2947
01:42:59,125 --> 01:42:59,666
growing up, I
2948
01:42:59,666 --> 01:43:00,083
used to watch
2949
01:43:00,083 --> 01:43:01,333
shark week and I
2950
01:43:01,333 --> 01:43:01,958
loved it. And I
2951
01:43:01,958 --> 01:43:03,125
was like, Oh, be
2952
01:43:03,125 --> 01:43:03,833
so cool one day
2953
01:43:03,833 --> 01:43:05,166
to go on to do to
2954
01:43:05,166 --> 01:43:05,958
do a shark. Yeah,
2955
01:43:05,958 --> 01:43:06,833
for sure. And
2956
01:43:06,833 --> 01:43:07,375
there is
2957
01:43:07,375 --> 01:43:09,083
absolutely no way
2958
01:43:09,083 --> 01:43:10,083
they would have
2959
01:43:10,083 --> 01:43:12,833
ever found me or
2960
01:43:12,833 --> 01:43:13,625
contacted me.
2961
01:43:13,625 --> 01:43:16,416
Had I not had
2962
01:43:16,416 --> 01:43:17,208
shark bites.
2963
01:43:17,541 --> 01:43:18,458
Right. So I
2964
01:43:18,458 --> 01:43:19,125
imagine they
2965
01:43:19,125 --> 01:43:19,666
looked at it and
2966
01:43:19,666 --> 01:43:20,458
went there's an
2967
01:43:20,458 --> 01:43:21,291
audience there.
2968
01:43:21,291 --> 01:43:21,958
Yeah, you know,
2969
01:43:22,166 --> 01:43:23,125
he'll you know,
2970
01:43:23,125 --> 01:43:23,750
we can bring him
2971
01:43:23,750 --> 01:43:24,458
in. We'll fly him
2972
01:43:24,458 --> 01:43:25,041
out to Florida.
2973
01:43:25,041 --> 01:43:26,000
And I was on a
2974
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:27,000
show with Emily
2975
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:28,333
Spurgeon and
2976
01:43:28,333 --> 01:43:29,250
Tristan Guttridge
2977
01:43:29,250 --> 01:43:30,833
and who were
2978
01:43:30,833 --> 01:43:31,458
awesome, by the
2979
01:43:31,458 --> 01:43:32,000
way. Yeah,
2980
01:43:32,041 --> 01:43:32,458
Tristan has been
2981
01:43:32,458 --> 01:43:32,916
on the podcast.
2982
01:43:33,208 --> 01:43:34,125
Yeah, that's
2983
01:43:34,125 --> 01:43:34,791
super cool.
2984
01:43:34,791 --> 01:43:35,500
Tristan Tristan's
2985
01:43:35,500 --> 01:43:36,000
a cool guy as
2986
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:37,208
well. But I was
2987
01:43:37,208 --> 01:43:37,791
kind of like,
2988
01:43:37,791 --> 01:43:39,958
sort of like a
2989
01:43:39,958 --> 01:43:41,375
they painted it
2990
01:43:41,375 --> 01:43:42,000
as I was on
2991
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:42,625
Tristan's team.
2992
01:43:42,666 --> 01:43:43,333
And we were kind
2993
01:43:43,333 --> 01:43:43,666
of working
2994
01:43:43,666 --> 01:43:44,208
together me and
2995
01:43:44,208 --> 01:43:44,875
Emily were like,
2996
01:43:44,875 --> 01:43:45,541
these two
2997
01:43:45,541 --> 01:43:46,000
different roles
2998
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:46,583
on Tristan's
2999
01:43:46,583 --> 01:43:47,125
team. And we were
3000
01:43:47,125 --> 01:43:47,833
building this,
3001
01:43:47,833 --> 01:43:48,541
this Frank and
3002
01:43:48,541 --> 01:43:49,625
shark and all
3003
01:43:49,625 --> 01:43:49,958
this kind of
3004
01:43:49,958 --> 01:43:51,166
stuff. But but
3005
01:43:51,166 --> 01:43:52,208
yeah, that's a
3006
01:43:52,208 --> 01:43:53,250
situation where I
3007
01:43:53,250 --> 01:43:53,875
would say it
3008
01:43:53,875 --> 01:43:54,625
helped me, right?
3009
01:43:54,958 --> 01:43:55,708
Because there's
3010
01:43:55,708 --> 01:43:56,666
no way this this
3011
01:43:56,666 --> 01:43:57,583
film company
3012
01:43:57,583 --> 01:43:58,250
would have ever
3013
01:43:58,250 --> 01:43:59,375
known I even
3014
01:43:59,375 --> 01:44:00,708
existed had it
3015
01:44:00,708 --> 01:44:01,250
not been for the
3016
01:44:01,250 --> 01:44:02,166
channel. So it
3017
01:44:02,166 --> 01:44:02,875
goes both ways.
3018
01:44:03,083 --> 01:44:04,291
Yep. Yep. Yeah.
3019
01:44:04,541 --> 01:44:05,166
Did it help you
3020
01:44:05,166 --> 01:44:06,333
get the job you
3021
01:44:06,333 --> 01:44:06,625
have now, though?
3022
01:44:07,625 --> 01:44:10,625
Well, I would say
3023
01:44:10,625 --> 01:44:14,250
that this YouTube
3024
01:44:14,250 --> 01:44:15,750
now is my job,
3025
01:44:15,750 --> 01:44:16,250
right? I would
3026
01:44:16,250 --> 01:44:17,458
say it's my main
3027
01:44:17,458 --> 01:44:18,958
job. Okay, the
3028
01:44:18,958 --> 01:44:20,000
it's the thing
3029
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:21,375
that puts the
3030
01:44:21,375 --> 01:44:22,541
food on the table
3031
01:44:22,541 --> 01:44:23,541
for me. Really?
3032
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:25,208
Yeah. Is that
3033
01:44:25,208 --> 01:44:27,166
from so now you
3034
01:44:27,166 --> 01:44:27,625
don't have to go
3035
01:44:27,625 --> 01:44:28,541
into numbers by
3036
01:44:28,541 --> 01:44:29,916
any means. But is
3037
01:44:29,916 --> 01:44:31,083
that mostly from
3038
01:44:31,083 --> 01:44:32,208
the monetization
3039
01:44:32,208 --> 01:44:33,541
from YouTube?
3040
01:44:33,541 --> 01:44:34,000
It's not
3041
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:34,625
necessarily from brand deals or anything like that.
3042
01:44:34,666 --> 01:44:37,000
There's a little
3043
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:37,500
bit of that a
3044
01:44:37,500 --> 01:44:38,250
little bit that
3045
01:44:38,250 --> 01:44:39,500
but it's majority
3046
01:44:39,500 --> 01:44:41,416
majority. Yeah,
3047
01:44:41,416 --> 01:44:42,208
monetization ad
3048
01:44:42,208 --> 01:44:43,625
revenue. Wow,
3049
01:44:43,625 --> 01:44:44,291
that's amazing.
3050
01:44:44,916 --> 01:44:45,291
And it's just me
3051
01:44:45,291 --> 01:44:46,041
to the stage
3052
01:44:46,041 --> 01:44:47,000
where where I you
3053
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:48,208
know, I can I can
3054
01:44:48,208 --> 01:44:49,625
now pay my bills,
3055
01:44:49,625 --> 01:44:50,250
put food on the
3056
01:44:50,250 --> 01:44:51,250
table, you know,
3057
01:44:51,250 --> 01:44:52,250
maybe go on a
3058
01:44:52,250 --> 01:44:53,541
holiday every day
3059
01:44:53,541 --> 01:44:54,333
on it. It's it's
3060
01:44:54,333 --> 01:44:55,333
it's it's got to
3061
01:44:55,333 --> 01:44:55,750
the point where
3062
01:44:55,750 --> 01:44:56,875
it's a job. It's
3063
01:44:56,875 --> 01:44:57,916
Yeah, I get
3064
01:44:57,916 --> 01:44:58,833
income from it.
3065
01:44:58,833 --> 01:45:00,166
It sustains me.
3066
01:45:00,625 --> 01:45:01,666
I'm not anywhere
3067
01:45:01,666 --> 01:45:02,791
near the levels
3068
01:45:02,791 --> 01:45:03,375
of you know, we
3069
01:45:03,375 --> 01:45:03,625
spoke about Jake, you know, it's a lot of people.
3070
01:45:03,625 --> 01:45:04,041
We spoke about
3071
01:45:04,041 --> 01:45:05,958
Jake Paul and Mr.
3072
01:45:05,958 --> 01:45:06,875
Beast. These guys
3073
01:45:06,875 --> 01:45:07,791
are bringing in,
3074
01:45:07,791 --> 01:45:08,125
you know,
3075
01:45:08,833 --> 01:45:09,166
millions and
3076
01:45:09,166 --> 01:45:10,000
hundreds of
3077
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:10,583
millions of
3078
01:45:10,583 --> 01:45:11,250
dollars in
3079
01:45:11,250 --> 01:45:12,208
revenue. It's
3080
01:45:12,208 --> 01:45:12,625
nowhere near
3081
01:45:12,625 --> 01:45:13,625
that. But it's
3082
01:45:13,625 --> 01:45:14,500
enough for me to
3083
01:45:14,500 --> 01:45:15,958
survive. And I
3084
01:45:15,958 --> 01:45:16,458
look at that and
3085
01:45:16,458 --> 01:45:17,708
go, that's enough
3086
01:45:17,708 --> 01:45:19,500
for me. I'm I'm
3087
01:45:19,500 --> 01:45:20,125
I'm happy with
3088
01:45:20,125 --> 01:45:21,000
that. If I can if
3089
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:21,958
I can afford to
3090
01:45:21,958 --> 01:45:22,875
eat, I can pay my
3091
01:45:22,875 --> 01:45:24,708
bills, you know,
3092
01:45:24,708 --> 01:45:25,416
and do what I
3093
01:45:25,416 --> 01:45:26,708
love doing. I'm
3094
01:45:26,708 --> 01:45:27,291
happy with that.
3095
01:45:27,291 --> 01:45:28,041
I think you just
3096
01:45:28,041 --> 01:45:29,041
hit the key thing
3097
01:45:29,041 --> 01:45:29,750
there. Like, you
3098
01:45:29,750 --> 01:45:30,041
know, you talk
3099
01:45:30,041 --> 01:45:30,833
about shark week
3100
01:45:30,833 --> 01:45:31,458
and these other
3101
01:45:31,458 --> 01:45:32,750
things. And
3102
01:45:33,666 --> 01:45:34,541
you know, again,
3103
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:35,500
you know, those
3104
01:45:35,500 --> 01:45:36,958
things are pretty
3105
01:45:36,958 --> 01:45:37,666
minimal. There
3106
01:45:37,666 --> 01:45:38,750
was, you know,
3107
01:45:38,750 --> 01:45:39,166
kind of when I
3108
01:45:39,166 --> 01:45:39,791
was coming up
3109
01:45:39,791 --> 01:45:40,541
through it, I
3110
01:45:40,541 --> 01:45:41,000
mean, I think
3111
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:41,333
shark week
3112
01:45:41,333 --> 01:45:42,500
started in 1987.
3113
01:45:42,833 --> 01:45:43,875
I was pretty well
3114
01:45:43,875 --> 01:45:45,083
into my PhD at
3115
01:45:45,083 --> 01:45:46,000
that point. But
3116
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:46,916
at the time, but
3117
01:45:46,916 --> 01:45:48,583
it was it's it's
3118
01:45:48,583 --> 01:45:49,250
they find you on
3119
01:45:49,250 --> 01:45:49,875
these things. And
3120
01:45:49,875 --> 01:45:50,708
you sort of you
3121
01:45:50,708 --> 01:45:51,291
had a limited
3122
01:45:51,291 --> 01:45:51,666
number of
3123
01:45:51,666 --> 01:45:52,166
options. It was
3124
01:45:52,166 --> 01:45:53,083
like shark week,
3125
01:45:53,083 --> 01:45:54,000
you know, BBC,
3126
01:45:54,333 --> 01:45:54,541
David
3127
01:45:54,541 --> 01:45:55,333
Attenborough are
3128
01:45:55,333 --> 01:45:56,416
limited. But now
3129
01:45:56,416 --> 01:45:57,291
with the YouTube
3130
01:45:57,291 --> 01:45:58,000
and the social
3131
01:45:58,000 --> 01:45:59,416
media now, what
3132
01:45:59,416 --> 01:45:59,916
I've kind of
3133
01:45:59,916 --> 01:46:01,333
found is that you
3134
01:46:01,333 --> 01:46:02,291
can and you're
3135
01:46:02,291 --> 01:46:02,500
doing
3136
01:46:02,500 --> 01:46:03,500
this like in
3137
01:46:03,625 --> 01:46:04,541
spades is you're
3138
01:46:04,541 --> 01:46:05,833
you can do the
3139
01:46:05,833 --> 01:46:06,583
content you want
3140
01:46:06,583 --> 01:46:08,208
to do. You're
3141
01:46:08,208 --> 01:46:08,875
not. And I think
3142
01:46:08,875 --> 01:46:09,458
that to me,
3143
01:46:09,458 --> 01:46:11,083
that's like
3144
01:46:11,083 --> 01:46:12,875
refreshing. But
3145
01:46:12,875 --> 01:46:13,458
it's also just
3146
01:46:13,458 --> 01:46:13,833
sort of this
3147
01:46:13,833 --> 01:46:15,541
freedom. I know I
3148
01:46:15,541 --> 01:46:16,083
know Andrew's
3149
01:46:16,083 --> 01:46:16,666
like this and
3150
01:46:16,666 --> 01:46:17,333
stuff. Of course,
3151
01:46:17,708 --> 01:46:18,791
Andrew, I he's he
3152
01:46:18,791 --> 01:46:19,500
I blame him
3153
01:46:19,500 --> 01:46:19,875
because he's the
3154
01:46:19,875 --> 01:46:20,416
reason I'm kind
3155
01:46:20,416 --> 01:46:20,875
of here doing
3156
01:46:20,875 --> 01:46:21,500
this show today.
3157
01:46:21,500 --> 01:46:23,166
So it's and I've
3158
01:46:23,166 --> 01:46:23,500
even doing
3159
01:46:23,500 --> 01:46:24,250
YouTube, to be
3160
01:46:24,250 --> 01:46:24,875
honest with you.
3161
01:46:24,875 --> 01:46:25,416
Nice work,
3162
01:46:25,416 --> 01:46:26,000
Andrew. That's
3163
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:27,000
that's that's a
3164
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:28,333
win for me. Yeah,
3165
01:46:28,625 --> 01:46:29,875
absolutely. But
3166
01:46:29,875 --> 01:46:30,333
don't did you
3167
01:46:30,333 --> 01:46:31,083
find that? Don't
3168
01:46:31,083 --> 01:46:31,791
you find it? Now
3169
01:46:31,791 --> 01:46:32,416
you have done
3170
01:46:32,416 --> 01:46:33,083
like a shark week
3171
01:46:33,083 --> 01:46:33,416
show. But
3172
01:46:33,416 --> 01:46:33,625
don't you
3173
01:46:33,625 --> 01:46:34,833
find that there's
3174
01:46:34,833 --> 01:46:36,583
more freedom? Oh,
3175
01:46:36,583 --> 01:46:38,958
100%. I can I so
3176
01:46:38,958 --> 01:46:40,333
the way that I
3177
01:46:40,333 --> 01:46:41,125
sort of go about
3178
01:46:41,125 --> 01:46:41,833
my day, I'm
3179
01:46:41,833 --> 01:46:42,375
constantly
3180
01:46:42,375 --> 01:46:43,000
thinking about
3181
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:43,708
videos, right?
3182
01:46:43,708 --> 01:46:44,500
I'm constantly
3183
01:46:44,500 --> 01:46:45,791
writing ideas
3184
01:46:45,791 --> 01:46:46,666
down and just
3185
01:46:46,666 --> 01:46:47,416
brainstorming
3186
01:46:47,416 --> 01:46:48,083
different things.
3187
01:46:48,500 --> 01:46:49,666
But being able to
3188
01:46:49,666 --> 01:46:51,416
choose what I
3189
01:46:51,416 --> 01:46:52,375
want to do. And
3190
01:46:52,375 --> 01:46:53,000
there's also an
3191
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:53,875
element of it as
3192
01:46:53,875 --> 01:46:55,375
well is is what
3193
01:46:55,375 --> 01:46:56,000
does the audience
3194
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:56,500
want to see,
3195
01:46:56,500 --> 01:46:57,208
right? What does
3196
01:46:57,208 --> 01:46:58,291
what do the
3197
01:46:58,291 --> 01:46:58,916
people who watch
3198
01:46:58,916 --> 01:46:59,416
the video? So
3199
01:46:59,416 --> 01:47:00,250
there's a bit of
3200
01:47:00,250 --> 01:47:00,958
a balance there.
3201
01:47:00,958 --> 01:47:01,833
So it has to be
3202
01:47:01,833 --> 01:47:02,666
something that I
3203
01:47:02,666 --> 01:47:03,000
want to
3204
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:03,625
do. But it's
3205
01:47:03,666 --> 01:47:04,208
also got to be
3206
01:47:04,208 --> 01:47:04,750
what's the
3207
01:47:04,750 --> 01:47:05,250
audience going to
3208
01:47:05,250 --> 01:47:05,708
click on? What's
3209
01:47:05,708 --> 01:47:06,000
the audience
3210
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:06,416
going to want to
3211
01:47:06,416 --> 01:47:07,083
watch compared
3212
01:47:07,083 --> 01:47:08,333
to, you know, say
3213
01:47:08,333 --> 01:47:09,333
a shark week show
3214
01:47:09,333 --> 01:47:09,958
where it's like,
3215
01:47:09,958 --> 01:47:10,500
right, this is
3216
01:47:10,500 --> 01:47:10,958
the show we're
3217
01:47:10,958 --> 01:47:11,750
making, we need
3218
01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:12,708
you to say this
3219
01:47:12,708 --> 01:47:13,791
at this time,
3220
01:47:13,791 --> 01:47:14,666
it's a bit more
3221
01:47:14,666 --> 01:47:16,125
bit more rigid.
3222
01:47:16,958 --> 01:47:18,333
And I was, it was
3223
01:47:18,333 --> 01:47:18,916
funny, actually,
3224
01:47:18,916 --> 01:47:20,416
there was, it was
3225
01:47:20,416 --> 01:47:21,250
a shark week show
3226
01:47:21,250 --> 01:47:22,125
that got in touch
3227
01:47:22,125 --> 01:47:23,666
before the one
3228
01:47:23,666 --> 01:47:24,416
that I ended up
3229
01:47:24,416 --> 01:47:26,125
on. This one.
3230
01:47:26,375 --> 01:47:27,083
Yeah, it was
3231
01:47:27,083 --> 01:47:27,750
there. It was
3232
01:47:27,750 --> 01:47:28,291
there special
3233
01:47:28,291 --> 01:47:28,916
there opener
3234
01:47:28,916 --> 01:47:30,166
there. It was
3235
01:47:30,166 --> 01:47:30,750
called dancing
3236
01:47:30,750 --> 01:47:31,000
the
3237
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:31,666
sharks, right?
3238
01:47:33,916 --> 01:47:34,416
Ever. I'll let
3239
01:47:34,416 --> 01:47:34,833
you tell the
3240
01:47:34,833 --> 01:47:35,791
story, but awful.
3241
01:47:36,041 --> 01:47:36,833
And I saw the
3242
01:47:36,833 --> 01:47:37,625
video that you
3243
01:47:37,625 --> 01:47:38,916
did before it
3244
01:47:38,916 --> 01:47:40,416
came out. And I
3245
01:47:40,416 --> 01:47:41,000
was like, and I
3246
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:41,333
was like, I
3247
01:47:41,333 --> 01:47:42,083
wonder how bad it
3248
01:47:42,083 --> 01:47:43,416
was where he said
3249
01:47:43,416 --> 01:47:44,458
no to this. And
3250
01:47:44,458 --> 01:47:45,041
then I watched. I
3251
01:47:45,041 --> 01:47:46,083
was like, Oh, my
3252
01:47:46,083 --> 01:47:48,333
gosh. Yeah. And
3253
01:47:48,333 --> 01:47:49,500
you know, it was
3254
01:47:49,500 --> 01:47:50,541
so they got in
3255
01:47:50,541 --> 01:47:50,833
touch over
3256
01:47:50,833 --> 01:47:52,083
emailing in, I
3257
01:47:52,083 --> 01:47:52,708
think January
3258
01:47:52,708 --> 01:47:53,250
time. And they
3259
01:47:53,250 --> 01:47:53,833
were like, we're
3260
01:47:53,833 --> 01:47:54,458
looking to maybe
3261
01:47:54,458 --> 01:47:55,541
film in the next
3262
01:47:55,541 --> 01:47:56,375
couple of months.
3263
01:47:57,083 --> 01:47:57,750
And initially, I
3264
01:47:57,750 --> 01:47:59,333
was like, I don't
3265
01:47:59,333 --> 01:48:00,041
quite understand
3266
01:48:00,041 --> 01:48:01,333
what it is. But
3267
01:48:01,333 --> 01:48:02,208
I'm keen to talk
3268
01:48:02,208 --> 01:48:02,833
about it more.
3269
01:48:02,833 --> 01:48:03,125
And I was
3270
01:48:03,125 --> 01:48:03,625
like, yeah,
3271
01:48:03,708 --> 01:48:04,708
you know, it's
3272
01:48:04,708 --> 01:48:05,416
the first time I
3273
01:48:05,416 --> 01:48:05,791
was ever
3274
01:48:05,791 --> 01:48:07,416
contacted by an
3275
01:48:07,416 --> 01:48:07,916
entertainment
3276
01:48:07,916 --> 01:48:08,583
company, a film
3277
01:48:08,583 --> 01:48:10,458
company to maybe
3278
01:48:10,458 --> 01:48:11,041
feature on a
3279
01:48:11,041 --> 01:48:11,666
shark show. And
3280
01:48:11,666 --> 01:48:12,416
the role that
3281
01:48:12,416 --> 01:48:14,291
they were sort of
3282
01:48:14,291 --> 01:48:15,000
offering me was
3283
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:15,833
this this MC
3284
01:48:15,833 --> 01:48:16,750
role. So it was
3285
01:48:16,750 --> 01:48:19,125
like you kind of
3286
01:48:19,125 --> 01:48:20,750
commentate on on
3287
01:48:20,750 --> 01:48:21,500
what was going
3288
01:48:21,500 --> 01:48:22,166
on. And you were
3289
01:48:22,166 --> 01:48:22,833
like going back
3290
01:48:22,833 --> 01:48:23,375
and forth between
3291
01:48:23,375 --> 01:48:24,083
the studio. I
3292
01:48:24,083 --> 01:48:24,458
can't remember
3293
01:48:24,458 --> 01:48:24,916
the name of the
3294
01:48:24,916 --> 01:48:25,625
chap who took
3295
01:48:25,625 --> 01:48:26,208
that role in the
3296
01:48:26,208 --> 01:48:27,875
end. But he's a
3297
01:48:27,875 --> 01:48:29,333
sort of shark
3298
01:48:29,333 --> 01:48:30,291
week regularly.
3299
01:48:30,625 --> 01:48:31,875
He does the
3300
01:48:31,875 --> 01:48:32,125
podcast.
3301
01:48:32,416 --> 01:48:33,041
He does do the
3302
01:48:33,041 --> 01:48:33,416
podcast.
3303
01:48:33,666 --> 01:48:34,083
Yes, he does.
3304
01:48:34,375 --> 01:48:34,500
You Dave, you
3305
01:48:34,500 --> 01:48:34,916
were on that
3306
01:48:34,916 --> 01:48:35,833
podcast with him.
3307
01:48:36,333 --> 01:48:37,625
You know, the
3308
01:48:37,625 --> 01:48:38,333
host of the shark
3309
01:48:38,333 --> 01:48:39,750
week podcast. Oh,
3310
01:48:40,041 --> 01:48:41,208
yeah. I forget
3311
01:48:41,208 --> 01:48:42,000
his name. Yeah,
3312
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:42,625
he didn't. Yeah,
3313
01:48:42,625 --> 01:48:43,208
yeah, yeah. No, I
3314
01:48:43,208 --> 01:48:43,833
know. Yeah, yeah.
3315
01:48:44,083 --> 01:48:44,958
Yeah. Well, yeah.
3316
01:48:45,125 --> 01:48:45,541
Anyway, so he
3317
01:48:45,541 --> 01:48:47,500
took the role in
3318
01:48:47,500 --> 01:48:48,458
the end that I
3319
01:48:48,458 --> 01:48:49,833
turned down. But
3320
01:48:49,833 --> 01:48:51,166
it was only after
3321
01:48:51,166 --> 01:48:52,333
they sent me a
3322
01:48:52,333 --> 01:48:53,416
few video clips
3323
01:48:53,416 --> 01:48:55,041
that I was kind
3324
01:48:55,041 --> 01:48:55,500
of fully
3325
01:48:55,500 --> 01:48:57,000
understood the
3326
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,250
scale of what
3327
01:48:59,250 --> 01:49:00,041
this program was
3328
01:49:00,041 --> 01:49:00,500
going to be.
3329
01:49:00,958 --> 01:49:01,791
And I remember
3330
01:49:01,791 --> 01:49:02,375
watching those
3331
01:49:02,375 --> 01:49:02,958
clips. And there
3332
01:49:02,958 --> 01:49:03,458
was, you know, it
3333
01:49:03,458 --> 01:49:04,000
was like an ocean
3334
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:04,750
Ramsey clip in
3335
01:49:04,750 --> 01:49:05,375
there. And I was
3336
01:49:05,375 --> 01:49:07,000
like, not sure
3337
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:07,916
this this film
3338
01:49:07,916 --> 01:49:08,708
companies watched
3339
01:49:08,708 --> 01:49:10,000
any of my videos
3340
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:11,083
ever if they're
3341
01:49:11,083 --> 01:49:11,708
showing me ocean
3342
01:49:11,708 --> 01:49:12,541
Ramsey clips and
3343
01:49:12,541 --> 01:49:12,916
thinking I'm
3344
01:49:12,916 --> 01:49:13,333
going to be like,
3345
01:49:13,333 --> 01:49:14,583
yeah, that's
3346
01:49:14,583 --> 01:49:15,291
great. That's a
3347
01:49:15,291 --> 01:49:16,333
cool thing to do.
3348
01:49:16,333 --> 01:49:17,000
And I and you
3349
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:17,416
know what I
3350
01:49:17,416 --> 01:49:18,166
turned around to
3351
01:49:18,166 --> 01:49:18,625
them. And I
3352
01:49:18,625 --> 01:49:19,458
respectfully said
3353
01:49:19,458 --> 01:49:20,125
no, I didn't go
3354
01:49:20,125 --> 01:49:20,916
and I didn't go
3355
01:49:20,916 --> 01:49:21,833
in on them and be
3356
01:49:21,833 --> 01:49:22,375
like, this is
3357
01:49:22,375 --> 01:49:23,166
ridiculous. I was
3358
01:49:23,166 --> 01:49:23,750
like, they're
3359
01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:24,250
going to make the
3360
01:49:24,250 --> 01:49:25,083
show regardless,
3361
01:49:25,333 --> 01:49:26,125
right? They're
3362
01:49:26,125 --> 01:49:27,333
going to do it. I
3363
01:49:27,333 --> 01:49:27,958
can turn around
3364
01:49:27,958 --> 01:49:28,583
and say, you know
3365
01:49:28,583 --> 01:49:29,083
what? It's not
3366
01:49:29,083 --> 01:49:29,166
for me. But if you know, if you
want to do it, you can do it.
3367
01:49:29,208 --> 01:49:34,458
And then we can
3368
01:49:34,458 --> 01:49:35,833
have a chat. And
3369
01:49:35,833 --> 01:49:36,666
that was a big
3370
01:49:36,666 --> 01:49:38,541
thing. Because I
3371
01:49:38,541 --> 01:49:39,416
had basically
3372
01:49:39,416 --> 01:49:40,541
just turned down
3373
01:49:40,541 --> 01:49:41,375
something that I
3374
01:49:41,375 --> 01:49:42,375
wanted to do
3375
01:49:42,375 --> 01:49:44,041
since I was a
3376
01:49:44,041 --> 01:49:44,916
kid, right? You
3377
01:49:44,916 --> 01:49:45,500
know, that's it
3378
01:49:45,500 --> 01:49:46,708
was for me. That
3379
01:49:46,708 --> 01:49:47,666
was such a big
3380
01:49:47,666 --> 01:49:48,708
thing to do. But
3381
01:49:48,708 --> 01:49:50,250
I'm so glad that
3382
01:49:50,250 --> 01:49:50,750
I did turn it
3383
01:49:50,750 --> 01:49:51,375
down because it
3384
01:49:51,375 --> 01:49:52,166
turned out to be
3385
01:49:52,166 --> 01:49:52,833
an horror.
3386
01:49:53,166 --> 01:49:54,041
And I was going
3387
01:49:54,041 --> 01:49:54,458
to say, this is
3388
01:49:54,458 --> 01:49:55,166
something we've
3389
01:49:55,166 --> 01:49:55,833
touched on some
3390
01:49:55,833 --> 01:49:56,458
shows, especially
3391
01:49:56,458 --> 01:49:57,000
a young person
3392
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:57,708
like you, you
3393
01:49:57,708 --> 01:49:58,125
know, like, because I've had these shows that I've been working on.
3394
01:49:58,583 --> 01:49:58,958
Because I've had
3395
01:49:58,958 --> 01:49:59,500
these shows where
3396
01:49:59,500 --> 01:50:00,458
I just like, no,
3397
01:50:00,458 --> 01:50:01,083
that's just not
3398
01:50:01,083 --> 01:50:01,833
going to be for
3399
01:50:01,833 --> 01:50:03,333
me. But I'm at a
3400
01:50:03,333 --> 01:50:03,833
point where I
3401
01:50:03,833 --> 01:50:04,666
don't care. I'll
3402
01:50:04,666 --> 01:50:05,416
take them early.
3403
01:50:05,416 --> 01:50:06,125
But young people
3404
01:50:06,125 --> 01:50:06,791
like yourselves
3405
01:50:06,791 --> 01:50:07,541
getting that
3406
01:50:07,541 --> 01:50:07,791
first
3407
01:50:07,791 --> 01:50:08,541
opportunity.
3408
01:50:08,541 --> 01:50:09,541
You're like, wow,
3409
01:50:09,541 --> 01:50:10,291
I really will. I
3410
01:50:10,291 --> 01:50:10,666
have another
3411
01:50:10,666 --> 01:50:11,458
opportunity.
3412
01:50:11,458 --> 01:50:12,125
Well, you're
3413
01:50:12,125 --> 01:50:12,666
young. You'll get
3414
01:50:12,666 --> 01:50:12,875
another
3415
01:50:12,875 --> 01:50:13,500
opportunity.
3416
01:50:13,500 --> 01:50:14,291
Trust me. They'll
3417
01:50:14,291 --> 01:50:14,916
come around.
3418
01:50:14,916 --> 01:50:15,500
It'll come around
3419
01:50:15,500 --> 01:50:16,125
to you again.
3420
01:50:16,458 --> 01:50:16,958
But I think the
3421
01:50:16,958 --> 01:50:17,500
interesting part
3422
01:50:17,500 --> 01:50:18,000
is too. And I
3423
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:18,541
really love
3424
01:50:18,541 --> 01:50:19,000
Christian, how
3425
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:19,666
you documented
3426
01:50:19,666 --> 01:50:20,458
the process in
3427
01:50:20,458 --> 01:50:20,791
one of your
3428
01:50:20,791 --> 01:50:21,625
videos because
3429
01:50:21,625 --> 01:50:22,958
first time
3430
01:50:22,958 --> 01:50:23,708
getting an email,
3431
01:50:24,166 --> 01:50:24,708
sometimes people
3432
01:50:24,708 --> 01:50:25,708
can feel lost in
3433
01:50:25,708 --> 01:50:26,916
the process. They
3434
01:50:26,916 --> 01:50:27,583
get so excited.
3435
01:50:27,583 --> 01:50:28,000
They're going to
3436
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:28,416
be that they
3437
01:50:28,416 --> 01:50:28,791
could be
3438
01:50:28,791 --> 01:50:29,708
potentially on TV
3439
01:50:29,708 --> 01:50:30,916
on a on a huge
3440
01:50:30,916 --> 01:50:32,083
week, like Shark
3441
01:50:32,083 --> 01:50:33,625
Week. And then it
3442
01:50:33,625 --> 01:50:34,416
continues to go
3443
01:50:34,416 --> 01:50:35,083
on and you get
3444
01:50:35,083 --> 01:50:35,916
several emails,
3445
01:50:35,916 --> 01:50:36,458
you go back and
3446
01:50:36,458 --> 01:50:37,083
forth and you're
3447
01:50:37,083 --> 01:50:37,666
like, am I doing
3448
01:50:37,666 --> 01:50:38,125
like, there's
3449
01:50:38,125 --> 01:50:39,125
always this in
3450
01:50:39,125 --> 01:50:39,625
the back of your
3451
01:50:39,625 --> 01:50:40,208
head, like, is
3452
01:50:40,208 --> 01:50:40,958
this the role for
3453
01:50:40,958 --> 01:50:41,583
me? Like, but
3454
01:50:41,583 --> 01:50:42,500
it's so exciting.
3455
01:50:42,500 --> 01:50:43,000
Am I going to get
3456
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:43,583
another one?
3457
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:44,541
And then you
3458
01:50:44,541 --> 01:50:45,458
start to you go
3459
01:50:45,458 --> 01:50:45,791
through the
3460
01:50:45,791 --> 01:50:46,625
process. I love
3461
01:50:46,625 --> 01:50:47,083
how you were
3462
01:50:47,083 --> 01:50:47,625
continuing
3463
01:50:47,625 --> 01:50:48,500
continually
3464
01:50:48,500 --> 01:50:49,541
respectful of the
3465
01:50:49,541 --> 01:50:50,708
process. And then
3466
01:50:50,708 --> 01:50:51,041
you're like, you
3467
01:50:51,041 --> 01:50:51,375
know what,
3468
01:50:51,375 --> 01:50:52,083
playfully decline
3469
01:50:52,083 --> 01:50:52,791
like this. This
3470
01:50:52,791 --> 01:50:53,583
isn't for me.
3471
01:50:55,250 --> 01:50:56,000
But some people
3472
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:56,541
would take it
3473
01:50:56,541 --> 01:50:57,541
just because like
3474
01:50:57,541 --> 01:50:58,000
this is my
3475
01:50:58,000 --> 01:50:58,458
chance. But
3476
01:50:58,458 --> 01:50:59,541
arguably, that
3477
01:50:59,541 --> 01:51:01,125
could have been a
3478
01:51:01,125 --> 01:51:01,666
career
3479
01:51:01,666 --> 01:51:03,000
ender for you.
3480
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:05,166
Yeah.
3481
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:25,541
I just knew it
3482
01:51:25,541 --> 01:51:25,916
was the
3483
01:51:25,916 --> 01:51:26,875
wrong call.
3484
01:51:26,875 --> 01:51:27,708
And also the
3485
01:51:27,708 --> 01:51:28,666
concept of the
3486
01:51:28,666 --> 01:51:29,000
show just
3487
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:29,916
completely goes
3488
01:51:30,375 --> 01:51:31,041
against what I
3489
01:51:31,041 --> 01:51:31,333
believe
3490
01:51:31,333 --> 01:51:31,958
about sharks.
3491
01:51:32,208 --> 01:51:33,041
I don't think
3492
01:51:33,041 --> 01:51:34,041
people should be
3493
01:51:34,041 --> 01:51:34,958
like picking
3494
01:51:34,958 --> 01:51:35,708
sharks up
3495
01:51:35,708 --> 01:51:36,458
and tossing them
3496
01:51:36,458 --> 01:51:37,208
around, right?
3497
01:51:37,208 --> 01:51:37,541
Like you just
3498
01:51:37,541 --> 01:51:38,791
don't need
3499
01:51:38,791 --> 01:51:39,458
to do that.
3500
01:51:39,875 --> 01:51:40,625
We pick them up
3501
01:51:40,625 --> 01:51:41,541
because we can is
3502
01:51:41,541 --> 01:51:42,083
not a
3503
01:51:42,083 --> 01:51:42,875
valid reason
3504
01:51:43,166 --> 01:51:43,875
to pick up and
3505
01:51:43,875 --> 01:51:44,416
toss a shark
3506
01:51:44,416 --> 01:51:44,958
around, right?
3507
01:51:46,125 --> 01:51:46,958
Morally, I just
3508
01:51:46,958 --> 01:51:47,208
look at
3509
01:51:47,208 --> 01:51:47,625
it and go,
3510
01:51:48,458 --> 01:51:48,833
it's just
3511
01:51:48,833 --> 01:51:49,375
completely-
3512
01:51:49,500 --> 01:51:50,000
I think one of my
3513
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:50,708
favorite parts of
3514
01:51:50,708 --> 01:51:51,250
that show,
3515
01:51:51,500 --> 01:51:51,833
because I did
3516
01:51:51,833 --> 01:51:52,208
watch the
3517
01:51:52,208 --> 01:51:52,625
whole thing.
3518
01:51:52,625 --> 01:51:53,500
I actually did
3519
01:51:53,500 --> 01:51:54,166
watch it because
3520
01:51:54,166 --> 01:51:54,708
I was like,
3521
01:51:54,708 --> 01:51:55,708
this can't be real.
3522
01:51:55,708 --> 01:51:55,875
Like this
3523
01:51:55,875 --> 01:51:56,416
is a joke.
3524
01:51:56,416 --> 01:51:56,958
I was waiting for
3525
01:51:56,958 --> 01:51:57,791
one of the
3526
01:51:57,791 --> 01:51:58,541
comedians that
3527
01:51:58,541 --> 01:51:59,333
was on the panel.
3528
01:51:59,625 --> 01:52:00,083
I forget his
3529
01:52:00,083 --> 01:52:01,500
name, but he's a
3530
01:52:01,500 --> 01:52:02,125
fairly popular
3531
01:52:02,125 --> 01:52:02,500
comedian.
3532
01:52:03,666 --> 01:52:04,458
He kept saying,
3533
01:52:04,458 --> 01:52:05,083
what are we
3534
01:52:05,083 --> 01:52:05,833
doing here?
3535
01:52:06,833 --> 01:52:07,791
I need to talk to
3536
01:52:07,791 --> 01:52:08,958
my agent because
3537
01:52:08,958 --> 01:52:10,000
what am I doing?
3538
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:10,875
Like, what are we
3539
01:52:10,875 --> 01:52:11,083
talking?
3540
01:52:11,333 --> 01:52:11,625
We're talking
3541
01:52:11,625 --> 01:52:11,833
about
3542
01:52:11,833 --> 01:52:12,958
picking up sharks.
3543
01:52:12,958 --> 01:52:13,208
That's what he
3544
01:52:13,208 --> 01:52:13,708
kept saying.
3545
01:52:13,708 --> 01:52:14,333
Like, is
3546
01:52:14,333 --> 01:52:15,041
this a thing?
3547
01:52:15,291 --> 01:52:16,083
Like, is this the
3548
01:52:16,083 --> 01:52:16,458
thing that
3549
01:52:16,458 --> 01:52:16,750
we're doing?
3550
01:52:16,750 --> 01:52:17,125
I don't know if
3551
01:52:17,125 --> 01:52:18,166
he fully
3552
01:52:18,166 --> 01:52:19,416
understood why he
3553
01:52:19,416 --> 01:52:20,000
was there.
3554
01:52:20,333 --> 01:52:20,958
I think he
3555
01:52:20,958 --> 01:52:21,750
regretted it
3556
01:52:21,750 --> 01:52:22,208
immediately
3557
01:52:22,541 --> 01:52:23,041
because he was
3558
01:52:23,041 --> 01:52:23,750
just like, oh,
3559
01:52:23,750 --> 01:52:24,000
we're doing
3560
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:24,583
this again?
3561
01:52:24,875 --> 01:52:25,041
Like, we're
3562
01:52:25,041 --> 01:52:25,583
watching people pick up sharks?
3563
01:52:25,625 --> 01:52:27,000
Oh, it's another
3564
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:27,916
person that's
3565
01:52:27,916 --> 01:52:28,708
flitting a shark
3566
01:52:28,708 --> 01:52:29,208
upside down.
3567
01:52:29,208 --> 01:52:30,000
It's like, I'm
3568
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:30,583
one of the guys
3569
01:52:30,583 --> 01:52:31,208
as well.
3570
01:52:31,208 --> 01:52:31,625
Like, I can't
3571
01:52:31,625 --> 01:52:32,250
remember one of
3572
01:52:32,250 --> 01:52:33,500
the dancers that
3573
01:52:33,500 --> 01:52:33,875
they had
3574
01:52:33,875 --> 01:52:34,416
on the show.
3575
01:52:35,125 --> 01:52:36,000
I mean, he was
3576
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:37,166
literally just
3577
01:52:37,166 --> 01:52:38,458
picking up these
3578
01:52:38,458 --> 01:52:39,166
nurse sharks
3579
01:52:39,166 --> 01:52:40,083
and it was just
3580
01:52:40,083 --> 01:52:41,041
like, this
3581
01:52:41,041 --> 01:52:41,583
is gross.
3582
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:42,791
This is not a,
3583
01:52:43,083 --> 01:52:43,791
this is animal
3584
01:52:43,791 --> 01:52:45,000
exploitation at
3585
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:45,250
its
3586
01:52:45,250 --> 01:52:46,250
highest level.
3587
01:52:46,500 --> 01:52:47,125
And this was the
3588
01:52:47,125 --> 01:52:48,291
shark we opened
3589
01:52:48,291 --> 01:52:48,791
it, right?
3590
01:52:48,791 --> 01:52:49,708
It was like such
3591
01:52:49,708 --> 01:52:50,500
a drop ball.
3592
01:52:50,833 --> 01:52:51,833
I mean, the, the,
3593
01:52:51,833 --> 01:52:52,375
the, I remember
3594
01:52:52,375 --> 01:52:53,083
when it, when it
3595
01:52:53,083 --> 01:52:54,375
aired, I didn't
3596
01:52:54,375 --> 01:52:55,041
see it live
3597
01:52:55,041 --> 01:52:55,666
because it's a
3598
01:52:55,666 --> 01:52:56,250
different
3599
01:52:56,250 --> 01:52:56,750
time zone.
3600
01:52:57,000 --> 01:52:57,625
But I remember
3601
01:52:57,625 --> 01:52:58,458
the following day
3602
01:52:58,458 --> 01:52:59,166
looking at the
3603
01:52:59,166 --> 01:53:00,125
comments, right?
3604
01:53:00,291 --> 01:53:00,958
And the Facebook
3605
01:53:00,958 --> 01:53:01,750
comments for the
3606
01:53:01,750 --> 01:53:02,250
little snippets
3607
01:53:02,250 --> 01:53:02,875
they'd post on
3608
01:53:02,875 --> 01:53:03,208
this, on,
3609
01:53:03,208 --> 01:53:03,708
on social
3610
01:53:03,708 --> 01:53:05,000
media, or they
3611
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:05,291
were getting absolutely
3612
01:53:05,291 --> 01:53:07,166
tanked.
3613
01:53:07,166 --> 01:53:07,500
They were getting
3614
01:53:07,500 --> 01:53:08,291
absolute.
3615
01:53:08,291 --> 01:53:08,958
And that was, I
3616
01:53:08,958 --> 01:53:09,250
was glad
3617
01:53:09,250 --> 01:53:09,750
to see that.
3618
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:10,583
I was really glad
3619
01:53:10,583 --> 01:53:11,416
to see that so
3620
01:53:11,416 --> 01:53:12,125
many people in
3621
01:53:12,125 --> 01:53:12,625
those comments
3622
01:53:12,625 --> 01:53:13,416
were calling
3623
01:53:13,500 --> 01:53:14,250
Shark Week out
3624
01:53:14,250 --> 01:53:14,750
and being like,
3625
01:53:14,750 --> 01:53:16,333
no, this is not
3626
01:53:16,333 --> 01:53:16,875
what we want.
3627
01:53:16,875 --> 01:53:17,250
You know, that
3628
01:53:17,250 --> 01:53:17,958
was one of
3629
01:53:17,958 --> 01:53:18,333
their worst.
3630
01:53:18,958 --> 01:53:19,625
But you know, the
3631
01:53:19,625 --> 01:53:20,125
thing is what
3632
01:53:20,125 --> 01:53:20,625
they look at is
3633
01:53:20,625 --> 01:53:21,041
like, do they
3634
01:53:21,041 --> 01:53:22,333
make money on it?
3635
01:53:22,541 --> 01:53:22,791
And if they
3636
01:53:22,791 --> 01:53:23,166
make money,
3637
01:53:23,166 --> 01:53:23,541
You're probably
3638
01:53:23,541 --> 01:53:23,958
right,
3639
01:53:23,958 --> 01:53:24,500
Dave. Yeah.
3640
01:53:24,500 --> 01:53:26,125
Yeah. If they
3641
01:53:26,125 --> 01:53:26,833
make money out,
3642
01:53:26,833 --> 01:53:27,333
they don't,
3643
01:53:27,333 --> 01:53:27,916
they'll do,
3644
01:53:27,916 --> 01:53:28,500
they'll do 10
3645
01:53:28,500 --> 01:53:28,791
more of
3646
01:53:28,791 --> 01:53:29,208
those shows.
3647
01:53:29,208 --> 01:53:30,000
If they make, if
3648
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:30,583
the show's making
3649
01:53:30,583 --> 01:53:31,291
money, they'll,
3650
01:53:31,291 --> 01:53:31,833
they'll just keep
3651
01:53:31,833 --> 01:53:32,333
doing them.
3652
01:53:32,583 --> 01:53:33,166
So it's really,
3653
01:53:33,166 --> 01:53:33,833
you can, you can
3654
01:53:33,833 --> 01:53:34,333
say all you want
3655
01:53:34,333 --> 01:53:34,500
about the
3656
01:53:34,500 --> 01:53:35,208
science, the
3657
01:53:35,208 --> 01:53:35,541
quality.
3658
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:36,416
The only person
3659
01:53:36,416 --> 01:53:36,791
that might be
3660
01:53:36,791 --> 01:53:37,958
impacted is if
3661
01:53:37,958 --> 01:53:38,458
you'd done the
3662
01:53:38,458 --> 01:53:38,750
show or
3663
01:53:38,750 --> 01:53:39,166
something,
3664
01:53:39,166 --> 01:53:39,583
someone like
3665
01:53:39,583 --> 01:53:40,208
that. And again,
3666
01:53:41,083 --> 01:53:42,000
the thing, young
3667
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:42,541
people listen to
3668
01:53:42,541 --> 01:53:43,208
this episode.
3669
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:44,458
With fear, when
3670
01:53:44,458 --> 01:53:44,791
you're a young
3671
01:53:44,791 --> 01:53:45,375
person starting
3672
01:53:45,375 --> 01:53:46,500
out, that's what
3673
01:53:46,500 --> 01:53:47,041
everybody in the
3674
01:53:47,041 --> 01:53:47,333
field is going
3675
01:53:47,375 --> 01:53:48,416
to be imprinted
3676
01:53:48,416 --> 01:53:49,458
on. If you've
3677
01:53:49,458 --> 01:53:50,166
been around for,
3678
01:53:50,166 --> 01:53:51,000
you know,
3679
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:51,708
decades, like I
3680
01:53:51,708 --> 01:53:52,333
have, it's like
3681
01:53:52,333 --> 01:53:52,791
the thing, what
3682
01:53:52,791 --> 01:53:53,083
the fuck
3683
01:53:53,083 --> 01:53:53,833
was Dave drunk or
3684
01:53:53,833 --> 01:53:54,291
something or
3685
01:53:54,291 --> 01:53:55,000
something? Yeah,
3686
01:53:55,333 --> 01:53:56,083
but I had a
3687
01:53:56,083 --> 01:53:56,583
little more of a
3688
01:53:56,583 --> 01:53:57,208
cushion, not
3689
01:53:57,208 --> 01:53:57,583
that I would
3690
01:53:57,583 --> 01:53:58,208
do anything like
3691
01:53:58,208 --> 01:53:58,583
that. But I'm
3692
01:53:58,583 --> 01:53:59,125
saying you got a
3693
01:53:59,125 --> 01:53:59,291
little more
3694
01:53:59,291 --> 01:54:00,041
cushion. But if
3695
01:54:00,041 --> 01:54:00,333
that's
3696
01:54:00,333 --> 01:54:01,000
everybody's
3697
01:54:01,166 --> 01:54:01,791
first impression
3698
01:54:01,791 --> 01:54:02,750
of you, it's
3699
01:54:02,750 --> 01:54:03,125
going to be, it
3700
01:54:03,125 --> 01:54:03,333
could be
3701
01:54:03,333 --> 01:54:04,250
impactful and not
3702
01:54:04,250 --> 01:54:04,500
in a good
3703
01:54:04,500 --> 01:54:05,375
way for you.
3704
01:54:05,375 --> 01:54:06,166
And so I try to
3705
01:54:06,166 --> 01:54:07,000
guide my students
3706
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:07,500
have been on
3707
01:54:07,500 --> 01:54:08,083
shows and they've
3708
01:54:08,083 --> 01:54:08,708
asked me about
3709
01:54:08,708 --> 01:54:09,083
it. I'm just
3710
01:54:09,083 --> 01:54:09,541
kind of, well,
3711
01:54:10,041 --> 01:54:10,791
you know, this is
3712
01:54:10,791 --> 01:54:11,333
the parameters.
3713
01:54:11,500 --> 01:54:12,333
Think about this
3714
01:54:12,333 --> 01:54:13,583
and stuff. And
3715
01:54:13,583 --> 01:54:14,375
the thing I've
3716
01:54:14,416 --> 01:54:15,083
always found with
3717
01:54:15,083 --> 01:54:15,541
them is they tend
3718
01:54:15,541 --> 01:54:15,916
to be really
3719
01:54:15,916 --> 01:54:16,625
rigid about they
3720
01:54:16,625 --> 01:54:17,250
got their script
3721
01:54:17,250 --> 01:54:17,666
down, they're
3722
01:54:17,666 --> 01:54:18,875
doing. And the
3723
01:54:18,875 --> 01:54:19,500
example I've
3724
01:54:19,500 --> 01:54:20,416
always used is
3725
01:54:20,416 --> 01:54:21,791
I've literally
3726
01:54:21,791 --> 01:54:23,458
found new species
3727
01:54:23,458 --> 01:54:23,958
of sharks
3728
01:54:23,958 --> 01:54:24,458
doing these
3729
01:54:24,458 --> 01:54:25,708
shows, but it
3730
01:54:25,708 --> 01:54:26,208
wasn't in the
3731
01:54:26,208 --> 01:54:27,916
script. Yeah. And
3732
01:54:27,916 --> 01:54:28,375
so they're just
3733
01:54:28,375 --> 01:54:28,833
like, Oh, we
3734
01:54:28,833 --> 01:54:29,333
don't, I
3735
01:54:29,333 --> 01:54:29,625
mean, it's a
3736
01:54:29,625 --> 01:54:30,000
completely
3737
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:30,875
organic moment
3738
01:54:30,875 --> 01:54:31,708
they capture on
3739
01:54:31,708 --> 01:54:33,041
film, but they
3740
01:54:33,041 --> 01:54:33,833
just, well, it's
3741
01:54:33,833 --> 01:54:34,125
not in the
3742
01:54:34,125 --> 01:54:34,500
scripts. They
3743
01:54:34,500 --> 01:54:35,208
just completely
3744
01:54:35,208 --> 01:54:36,291
leave it on the
3745
01:54:36,291 --> 01:54:37,208
cutting room. I'm
3746
01:54:37,208 --> 01:54:37,583
thinking like
3747
01:54:37,583 --> 01:54:38,291
there's something
3748
01:54:38,291 --> 01:54:38,958
that was real.
3749
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:39,583
So that's what I
3750
01:54:39,583 --> 01:54:40,458
like kind of
3751
01:54:40,458 --> 01:54:40,916
doing my own
3752
01:54:40,916 --> 01:54:42,750
thing now is that
3753
01:54:42,750 --> 01:54:43,666
I could put that
3754
01:54:43,666 --> 01:54:44,041
that's the
3755
01:54:44,041 --> 01:54:44,416
whole point
3756
01:54:44,416 --> 01:54:45,375
of the doing it,
3757
01:54:45,375 --> 01:54:45,833
but it's just
3758
01:54:45,833 --> 01:54:46,708
like, how did you
3759
01:54:46,708 --> 01:54:47,458
mean? It doesn't
3760
01:54:47,458 --> 01:54:48,291
happen that often
3761
01:54:48,291 --> 01:54:48,583
where you
3762
01:54:48,583 --> 01:54:49,500
actually, you
3763
01:54:49,500 --> 01:54:50,291
pick something up
3764
01:54:50,291 --> 01:54:50,791
and you're like,
3765
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:51,500
this is a new
3766
01:54:51,500 --> 01:54:52,375
species of shark.
3767
01:54:52,958 --> 01:54:53,125
And then
3768
01:54:53,125 --> 01:54:53,458
they just,
3769
01:54:53,458 --> 01:54:54,125
but this wasn't
3770
01:54:54,125 --> 01:54:54,750
in the script. So
3771
01:54:54,750 --> 01:54:55,791
they just leave
3772
01:54:55,791 --> 01:54:56,333
it off to the
3773
01:54:56,333 --> 01:54:57,500
side, which is
3774
01:54:57,500 --> 01:54:58,125
like the exciting
3775
01:54:58,166 --> 01:54:59,166
part. Now, this
3776
01:54:59,166 --> 01:55:00,166
is interesting
3777
01:55:00,166 --> 01:55:00,791
too, because now
3778
01:55:00,791 --> 01:55:01,416
you have this,
3779
01:55:01,416 --> 01:55:02,333
this platform
3780
01:55:02,333 --> 01:55:03,333
that you
3781
01:55:03,333 --> 01:55:04,541
use as a way
3782
01:55:04,666 --> 01:55:05,250
to generate
3783
01:55:05,250 --> 01:55:06,208
income. It allows
3784
01:55:06,208 --> 01:55:07,458
you to have so
3785
01:55:07,458 --> 01:55:08,750
many more options
3786
01:55:08,750 --> 01:55:10,583
out there. When
3787
01:55:10,583 --> 01:55:11,083
you, when you
3788
01:55:11,083 --> 01:55:11,583
look, when you
3789
01:55:11,583 --> 01:55:11,833
look at
3790
01:55:11,833 --> 01:55:12,500
everything and
3791
01:55:12,500 --> 01:55:13,416
those options,
3792
01:55:13,791 --> 01:55:15,208
you're able to do
3793
01:55:15,208 --> 01:55:15,375
the
3794
01:55:15,375 --> 01:55:15,958
science that you
3795
01:55:15,958 --> 01:55:16,958
want to do. And
3796
01:55:16,958 --> 01:55:17,500
you've had a
3797
01:55:17,500 --> 01:55:18,041
variety of
3798
01:55:18,041 --> 01:55:18,500
different
3799
01:55:18,500 --> 01:55:19,250
projects. Now
3800
01:55:19,250 --> 01:55:19,416
you're
3801
01:55:19,416 --> 01:55:20,208
working with
3802
01:55:20,958 --> 01:55:22,000
Exeter right now,
3803
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:22,333
University of
3804
01:55:22,333 --> 01:55:23,083
Exeter. Can you
3805
01:55:23,083 --> 01:55:23,666
talk a little bit
3806
01:55:23,666 --> 01:55:24,333
about some of
3807
01:55:24,333 --> 01:55:24,791
that research
3808
01:55:24,791 --> 01:55:25,541
that you're, that
3809
01:55:25,541 --> 01:55:26,000
you're doing?
3810
01:55:26,666 --> 01:55:27,250
Yeah. So I mean,
3811
01:55:27,250 --> 01:55:28,208
does it feed into
3812
01:55:28,208 --> 01:55:28,791
some of the
3813
01:55:28,791 --> 01:55:29,041
videos
3814
01:55:29,041 --> 01:55:29,500
that you do?
3815
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:31,000
Yeah. So to be
3816
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:31,541
fair, that the
3817
01:55:31,541 --> 01:55:32,791
most recent thing
3818
01:55:32,791 --> 01:55:33,625
that I've worked
3819
01:55:33,625 --> 01:55:34,541
on isn't
3820
01:55:34,541 --> 01:55:34,916
technically
3821
01:55:34,916 --> 01:55:35,333
connected
3822
01:55:35,458 --> 01:55:36,208
to the University
3823
01:55:36,208 --> 01:55:36,708
of Exeter. Oh,
3824
01:55:36,708 --> 01:55:37,625
I'm sorry. Yeah.
3825
01:55:37,916 --> 01:55:38,583
But it would, it
3826
01:55:38,583 --> 01:55:38,875
wouldn't have
3827
01:55:38,875 --> 01:55:39,333
been in the notes
3828
01:55:39,333 --> 01:55:39,750
that I gave you
3829
01:55:39,750 --> 01:55:39,958
actually
3830
01:55:39,958 --> 01:55:40,833
beforehand. It's
3831
01:55:40,833 --> 01:55:42,500
to do working
3832
01:55:42,500 --> 01:55:43,416
with Mariko at
3833
01:55:43,416 --> 01:55:43,500
the
3834
01:55:43,500 --> 01:55:45,375
moment. So Gonzo
3835
01:55:45,750 --> 01:55:46,916
Arujao, the
3836
01:55:46,916 --> 01:55:48,416
Argentinian, I
3837
01:55:48,416 --> 01:55:48,666
think he's
3838
01:55:48,666 --> 01:55:49,875
Argentinian shark
3839
01:55:49,875 --> 01:55:50,541
scientist, did a
3840
01:55:50,541 --> 01:55:50,708
lot of
3841
01:55:50,708 --> 01:55:51,208
stuff with,
3842
01:55:51,583 --> 01:55:52,125
with whale
3843
01:55:52,125 --> 01:55:54,166
sharks, Gonzalas,
3844
01:55:54,583 --> 01:55:55,750
I think. Yeah.
3845
01:55:56,416 --> 01:55:57,333
Anyway, he owns
3846
01:55:57,333 --> 01:55:58,125
this, this
3847
01:55:58,125 --> 01:55:58,375
company
3848
01:55:58,375 --> 01:55:59,166
called Mariko.
3849
01:55:59,208 --> 01:56:00,000
It's the Marine.
3850
01:56:00,625 --> 01:56:01,000
I can't even
3851
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:01,416
remember what it
3852
01:56:01,416 --> 01:56:01,958
sounds for now.
3853
01:56:01,958 --> 01:56:02,208
That's awful.
3854
01:56:02,541 --> 01:56:04,000
But, but yeah, he
3855
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:04,416
basically
3856
01:56:04,416 --> 01:56:04,958
owns this
3857
01:56:05,500 --> 01:56:06,166
not-for-profit
3858
01:56:06,166 --> 01:56:06,708
research
3859
01:56:06,708 --> 01:56:08,333
organization. And
3860
01:56:08,333 --> 01:56:08,916
the stuff we're
3861
01:56:08,916 --> 01:56:09,750
doing together at
3862
01:56:09,750 --> 01:56:10,250
the moment,
3863
01:56:11,125 --> 01:56:11,583
interestingly
3864
01:56:11,583 --> 01:56:13,500
involves GioReal,
3865
01:56:13,500 --> 01:56:14,166
again, the chat
3866
01:56:14,166 --> 01:56:14,750
that I mentioned
3867
01:56:14,750 --> 01:56:15,541
at the start, who
3868
01:56:15,541 --> 01:56:16,416
does those,
3869
01:56:16,875 --> 01:56:17,958
those Instagram
3870
01:56:17,958 --> 01:56:20,000
videos. And he
3871
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:21,083
actually posted
3872
01:56:21,083 --> 01:56:21,666
some, I don't, I
3873
01:56:21,666 --> 01:56:22,166
won't talk about
3874
01:56:22,166 --> 01:56:23,000
it, like, in too
3875
01:56:23,041 --> 01:56:23,916
much detail, so I
3876
01:56:23,916 --> 01:56:24,083
don't want to
3877
01:56:24,083 --> 01:56:24,916
give it away, but
3878
01:56:24,916 --> 01:56:27,041
he posted a video
3879
01:56:27,041 --> 01:56:28,791
a little while
3880
01:56:28,791 --> 01:56:29,250
ago, it was
3881
01:56:29,250 --> 01:56:30,125
probably back in
3882
01:56:30,125 --> 01:56:30,916
late November,
3883
01:56:31,333 --> 01:56:31,833
that he had
3884
01:56:31,833 --> 01:56:33,458
filmed here off
3885
01:56:33,458 --> 01:56:34,166
Castle Beach
3886
01:56:34,166 --> 01:56:34,708
where he usually
3887
01:56:34,708 --> 01:56:36,916
goes out. And he
3888
01:56:36,916 --> 01:56:37,375
had
3889
01:56:37,375 --> 01:56:39,500
effectively filmed
3890
01:56:39,833 --> 01:56:40,875
a nurse hound,
3891
01:56:40,875 --> 01:56:42,000
which is a small,
3892
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:42,666
demersal shark
3893
01:56:42,666 --> 01:56:43,500
species that we
3894
01:56:43,500 --> 01:56:45,208
get here on our
3895
01:56:45,208 --> 01:56:45,958
beach, you know,
3896
01:56:46,166 --> 01:56:46,625
just off the
3897
01:56:46,625 --> 01:56:48,583
beach, doing an
3898
01:56:48,583 --> 01:56:49,250
agonistic threat
3899
01:56:49,250 --> 01:56:50,750
display. Now, I
3900
01:56:50,750 --> 01:56:52,708
remember I saw
3901
01:56:52,708 --> 01:56:53,750
the video and he
3902
01:56:53,750 --> 01:56:54,541
had then sent it
3903
01:56:54,541 --> 01:56:54,916
to me on
3904
01:56:54,916 --> 01:56:55,625
Instagram and was
3905
01:56:55,625 --> 01:56:56,833
like, hey, what'd
3906
01:56:56,833 --> 01:56:57,333
you think about
3907
01:56:57,333 --> 01:56:58,083
this? And I
3908
01:56:58,083 --> 01:56:58,500
looked at it and
3909
01:56:58,500 --> 01:56:59,208
I was like, well,
3910
01:56:59,375 --> 01:56:59,916
that looks like
3911
01:56:59,916 --> 01:57:00,500
an agonistic
3912
01:57:00,500 --> 01:57:01,166
threat display to
3913
01:57:01,166 --> 01:57:01,791
me, you know,
3914
01:57:01,791 --> 01:57:02,541
that the, in
3915
01:57:02,541 --> 01:57:03,375
terms of the body
3916
01:57:03,375 --> 01:57:04,083
posturing, the
3917
01:57:04,083 --> 01:57:04,916
body signals that
3918
01:57:04,916 --> 01:57:05,500
that kind of
3919
01:57:05,500 --> 01:57:06,458
really strong
3920
01:57:06,458 --> 01:57:08,333
physical behavior
3921
01:57:08,333 --> 01:57:09,250
that that were
3922
01:57:09,250 --> 01:57:10,083
that they that
3923
01:57:10,083 --> 01:57:10,375
was being
3924
01:57:10,375 --> 01:57:12,083
performed. And I
3925
01:57:12,083 --> 01:57:12,541
said to him,
3926
01:57:12,541 --> 01:57:13,000
look, you know,
3927
01:57:13,208 --> 01:57:13,583
give me a couple
3928
01:57:13,583 --> 01:57:14,416
of days, I'm
3929
01:57:14,416 --> 01:57:15,083
gonna go away and
3930
01:57:15,083 --> 01:57:15,416
I'm gonna have a
3931
01:57:15,416 --> 01:57:15,708
look in the
3932
01:57:15,708 --> 01:57:16,125
literature. And
3933
01:57:16,166 --> 01:57:16,833
and see what we
3934
01:57:16,833 --> 01:57:18,291
can find. And I
3935
01:57:18,291 --> 01:57:18,916
couldn't find
3936
01:57:18,916 --> 01:57:20,166
anything in the
3937
01:57:20,166 --> 01:57:20,500
science of
3938
01:57:20,500 --> 01:57:21,875
literature about
3939
01:57:21,875 --> 01:57:23,250
nurse hounds
3940
01:57:23,250 --> 01:57:23,875
performing
3941
01:57:23,875 --> 01:57:24,916
agonistic threat
3942
01:57:24,916 --> 01:57:26,000
displays. And
3943
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:26,666
it's an unusual
3944
01:57:26,666 --> 01:57:27,333
thing, because
3945
01:57:27,333 --> 01:57:28,875
this species of
3946
01:57:28,875 --> 01:57:32,000
shark is no, no
3947
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:32,916
threat to humans,
3948
01:57:33,291 --> 01:57:33,875
they're, they're
3949
01:57:33,875 --> 01:57:34,541
small, then you
3950
01:57:34,541 --> 01:57:34,916
know, they're
3951
01:57:34,916 --> 01:57:36,083
probably maximum
3952
01:57:36,083 --> 01:57:37,000
size of about
3953
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:38,583
three and a half,
3954
01:57:38,791 --> 01:57:39,875
four feet ish,
3955
01:57:39,875 --> 01:57:41,041
maybe the one in
3956
01:57:41,041 --> 01:57:42,083
the in the video
3957
01:57:42,083 --> 01:57:42,875
that geo filmed
3958
01:57:42,875 --> 01:57:44,041
was less than, I
3959
01:57:44,041 --> 01:57:45,666
think it was 70.
3960
01:57:47,041 --> 01:57:47,833
So like 74
3961
01:57:47,833 --> 01:57:48,500
centimeters long,
3962
01:57:48,500 --> 01:57:49,500
so it's not a big
3963
01:57:49,500 --> 01:57:51,291
shot, right? But
3964
01:57:51,291 --> 01:57:52,041
it for some
3965
01:57:52,041 --> 01:57:54,083
reason has, you
3966
01:57:54,083 --> 01:57:54,666
know, given off
3967
01:57:54,666 --> 01:57:56,791
this very strong
3968
01:57:56,791 --> 01:57:57,583
display. And
3969
01:57:57,583 --> 01:57:58,833
that's the that's
3970
01:57:58,833 --> 01:57:59,291
sort of what
3971
01:57:59,291 --> 01:58:00,208
we're, we're
3972
01:58:00,208 --> 01:58:00,750
working on. And
3973
01:58:00,750 --> 01:58:02,125
we're, we're
3974
01:58:02,125 --> 01:58:02,583
effectively
3975
01:58:02,583 --> 01:58:03,791
classifying that
3976
01:58:03,791 --> 01:58:04,791
and showing, you
3977
01:58:04,791 --> 01:58:05,625
know, this isn't
3978
01:58:05,625 --> 01:58:06,000
potentially
3979
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:06,583
another shark
3980
01:58:06,583 --> 01:58:07,541
species, and it's
3981
01:58:07,541 --> 01:58:07,958
not published
3982
01:58:07,958 --> 01:58:08,666
that. So we can't
3983
01:58:08,666 --> 01:58:09,125
quite say.
3984
01:58:09,166 --> 01:58:09,958
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3985
01:58:10,083 --> 01:58:11,708
But yeah, but you
3986
01:58:11,708 --> 01:58:12,166
know, potentially
3987
01:58:12,166 --> 01:58:12,708
another shark
3988
01:58:12,708 --> 01:58:13,750
species to add to
3989
01:58:13,750 --> 01:58:15,000
the collection of
3990
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:15,375
sharks that
3991
01:58:15,375 --> 01:58:15,958
perform this and
3992
01:58:15,958 --> 01:58:16,833
we kind of in the
3993
01:58:16,833 --> 01:58:17,250
paper, we're
3994
01:58:17,250 --> 01:58:17,708
looking at the
3995
01:58:17,708 --> 01:58:18,916
reasons why what
3996
01:58:18,916 --> 01:58:20,500
what's what are
3997
01:58:20,500 --> 01:58:21,208
some of the
3998
01:58:21,208 --> 01:58:22,083
things that that
3999
01:58:22,083 --> 01:58:22,750
led up to this
4000
01:58:22,750 --> 01:58:23,291
incident that
4001
01:58:23,291 --> 01:58:24,500
might have caused
4002
01:58:24,500 --> 01:58:25,333
this display. So
4003
01:58:25,333 --> 01:58:25,666
it's kind of
4004
01:58:25,666 --> 01:58:26,375
looking at it
4005
01:58:26,375 --> 01:58:27,625
from a from a
4006
01:58:27,625 --> 01:58:27,916
behavioral
4007
01:58:27,916 --> 01:58:28,416
perspective,
4008
01:58:28,875 --> 01:58:29,666
which is yeah,
4009
01:58:29,666 --> 01:58:29,875
which is
4010
01:58:29,875 --> 01:58:30,208
really cool.
4011
01:58:30,833 --> 01:58:32,250
Oh, cool. Cool.
4012
01:58:32,291 --> 01:58:33,166
Well, that's,
4013
01:58:33,166 --> 01:58:33,708
that's, that's
4014
01:58:33,708 --> 01:58:34,083
pretty neat.
4015
01:58:34,625 --> 01:58:35,750
Like, well, like,
4016
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:36,541
Kristen, like,
4017
01:58:36,541 --> 01:58:37,000
this has been
4018
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:38,041
terrific talking
4019
01:58:38,041 --> 01:58:38,750
to you about this
4020
01:58:38,750 --> 01:58:39,750
whole about your
4021
01:58:39,750 --> 01:58:40,375
background and
4022
01:58:40,375 --> 01:58:40,916
your interest.
4023
01:58:40,916 --> 01:58:41,541
And we definitely
4024
01:58:41,541 --> 01:58:42,041
gonna have to
4025
01:58:42,041 --> 01:58:42,833
have it back on.
4026
01:58:42,833 --> 01:58:43,750
Oh, I'd love to
4027
01:58:43,750 --> 01:58:44,291
come back on.
4028
01:58:45,208 --> 01:58:45,750
I got another we
4029
01:58:45,750 --> 01:58:46,250
could price back
4030
01:58:46,250 --> 01:58:46,833
and easily spend
4031
01:58:46,833 --> 01:58:47,416
another hour just
4032
01:58:47,416 --> 01:58:47,958
asking some
4033
01:58:47,958 --> 01:58:48,416
questions about
4034
01:58:48,416 --> 01:58:49,125
this. But we,
4035
01:58:49,750 --> 01:58:50,958
we'll, we'll kind
4036
01:58:50,958 --> 01:58:51,833
of like sort of
4037
01:58:51,833 --> 01:58:52,458
close up here.
4038
01:58:52,458 --> 01:58:53,083
But I want to ask
4039
01:58:53,083 --> 01:58:54,125
you kind of we do
4040
01:58:54,125 --> 01:58:55,375
before we let our
4041
01:58:55,375 --> 01:58:56,208
guests go like,
4042
01:58:56,500 --> 01:58:57,416
so what where do
4043
01:58:57,416 --> 01:58:57,916
you kind of see
4044
01:58:57,916 --> 01:58:58,541
your career going
4045
01:58:58,541 --> 01:58:59,208
at this point in
4046
01:58:59,208 --> 01:58:59,875
time, or
4047
01:58:59,875 --> 01:59:00,208
the next 10?
4048
01:59:00,250 --> 01:59:01,125
20 years?
4049
01:59:02,041 --> 01:59:02,916
So really good
4050
01:59:02,916 --> 01:59:03,458
question.
4051
01:59:03,875 --> 01:59:04,250
Yeah, yeah.
4052
01:59:04,875 --> 01:59:06,833
For the time
4053
01:59:06,833 --> 01:59:08,541
being, I'm super
4054
01:59:08,541 --> 01:59:09,291
happy doing what
4055
01:59:09,291 --> 01:59:12,416
I'm doing. I want
4056
01:59:12,416 --> 01:59:13,125
to continue to
4057
01:59:13,125 --> 01:59:13,791
grow the channel,
4058
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:14,291
I want to
4059
01:59:14,291 --> 01:59:15,333
continue to grow,
4060
01:59:15,333 --> 01:59:17,500
you know, my, my
4061
01:59:17,500 --> 01:59:19,083
platform as a
4062
01:59:19,083 --> 01:59:19,375
science
4063
01:59:19,375 --> 01:59:20,208
communicator and
4064
01:59:20,208 --> 01:59:21,166
see what doors
4065
01:59:21,166 --> 01:59:21,791
that that
4066
01:59:21,791 --> 01:59:22,541
unlocks. I mean,
4067
01:59:22,541 --> 01:59:23,333
I'd love to
4068
01:59:23,333 --> 01:59:24,083
feature on some
4069
01:59:24,083 --> 01:59:25,208
more, some more
4070
01:59:25,208 --> 01:59:25,625
TV shows
4071
01:59:25,625 --> 01:59:26,083
if I could.
4072
01:59:26,125 --> 01:59:27,375
I'd love to
4073
01:59:27,375 --> 01:59:28,416
feature on some
4074
01:59:28,416 --> 01:59:29,208
some Nat Geo
4075
01:59:29,208 --> 01:59:30,000
shark fest shows
4076
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:31,375
if there's any,
4077
01:59:31,375 --> 01:59:32,500
if there's any
4078
01:59:32,500 --> 01:59:33,666
sharp as
4079
01:59:33,666 --> 01:59:34,791
listening. Yeah,
4080
01:59:34,791 --> 01:59:35,541
no, but you know,
4081
01:59:35,916 --> 01:59:36,250
maybe explore
4082
01:59:36,250 --> 01:59:38,750
some more stuff
4083
01:59:38,750 --> 01:59:40,541
in TV carry on
4084
01:59:40,541 --> 01:59:41,000
occasionally
4085
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:41,541
writing those
4086
01:59:41,541 --> 01:59:42,333
research rivers.
4087
01:59:42,333 --> 01:59:43,333
That's such a big
4088
01:59:43,333 --> 01:59:44,083
thing for me is
4089
01:59:44,083 --> 01:59:45,541
still feeling
4090
01:59:45,541 --> 01:59:46,750
involved within
4091
01:59:46,750 --> 01:59:47,333
the scientific
4092
01:59:47,333 --> 01:59:48,250
community as well
4093
01:59:48,250 --> 01:59:48,750
as doing all
4094
01:59:48,750 --> 01:59:49,666
this, this
4095
01:59:49,666 --> 01:59:49,958
science
4096
01:59:49,958 --> 01:59:50,333
communication,
4097
01:59:50,333 --> 01:59:51,958
because the
4098
01:59:51,958 --> 01:59:52,708
reason I got into
4099
01:59:52,708 --> 01:59:53,875
this in the first
4100
01:59:53,875 --> 01:59:54,625
place was because
4101
01:59:54,625 --> 01:59:55,291
I loved the
4102
01:59:55,291 --> 01:59:55,666
science
4103
01:59:55,666 --> 01:59:56,083
of sharks.
4104
01:59:56,125 --> 01:59:56,875
Right. That was
4105
01:59:56,875 --> 01:59:58,125
writing research
4106
01:59:58,125 --> 01:59:58,833
papers, planning
4107
01:59:58,833 --> 01:59:59,458
out new things
4108
01:59:59,458 --> 02:00:00,791
and making sure
4109
02:00:00,791 --> 02:00:01,375
that I'm writing
4110
02:00:01,375 --> 02:00:02,583
those those those
4111
02:00:02,583 --> 02:00:03,333
research papers
4112
02:00:03,333 --> 02:00:05,000
is still a really
4113
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:05,541
important thing
4114
02:00:05,541 --> 02:00:06,708
for me. So yeah,
4115
02:00:06,708 --> 02:00:08,708
in five years or
4116
02:00:08,708 --> 02:00:10,291
so, I'd hope that
4117
02:00:10,291 --> 02:00:11,750
maybe the channel
4118
02:00:11,750 --> 02:00:12,958
was was bigger
4119
02:00:12,958 --> 02:00:13,833
than it is now.
4120
02:00:13,875 --> 02:00:15,541
And maybe maybe I
4121
02:00:15,541 --> 02:00:16,041
could even push
4122
02:00:16,041 --> 02:00:16,916
upwards of yeah,
4123
02:00:17,125 --> 02:00:17,791
million million
4124
02:00:17,791 --> 02:00:18,708
million would be
4125
02:00:18,708 --> 02:00:20,666
amazing. But but
4126
02:00:20,666 --> 02:00:21,083
just just
4127
02:00:21,083 --> 02:00:22,166
enjoying doing
4128
02:00:22,166 --> 02:00:22,750
what I'm doing,
4129
02:00:22,750 --> 02:00:23,458
creating a
4130
02:00:23,458 --> 02:00:24,916
community. And
4131
02:00:24,916 --> 02:00:26,083
just speaking the
4132
02:00:26,083 --> 02:00:26,625
facts, speaking
4133
02:00:26,625 --> 02:00:27,625
the truth about
4134
02:00:27,625 --> 02:00:28,500
about sharks,
4135
02:00:28,500 --> 02:00:29,208
right? They're
4136
02:00:29,208 --> 02:00:29,791
there. They're a
4137
02:00:29,791 --> 02:00:30,000
very
4138
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:30,541
misunderstood
4139
02:00:30,541 --> 02:00:32,041
animal. But I
4140
02:00:32,041 --> 02:00:32,625
think sometimes,
4141
02:00:32,625 --> 02:00:33,708
you know, people
4142
02:00:33,708 --> 02:00:35,833
can get just one
4143
02:00:35,833 --> 02:00:37,375
particular story
4144
02:00:37,375 --> 02:00:38,166
about sharks,
4145
02:00:38,166 --> 02:00:39,000
right? And they
4146
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:39,541
have a mental
4147
02:00:39,541 --> 02:00:40,083
image of what
4148
02:00:40,083 --> 02:00:40,708
they are and what
4149
02:00:40,708 --> 02:00:41,250
they do and all
4150
02:00:41,250 --> 02:00:41,541
this kind of
4151
02:00:41,541 --> 02:00:42,166
stuff. It's just,
4152
02:00:42,166 --> 02:00:42,875
you know, make
4153
02:00:42,875 --> 02:00:43,666
making sure that
4154
02:00:43,666 --> 02:00:43,833
people are
4155
02:00:43,875 --> 02:00:44,333
understand
4156
02:00:44,333 --> 02:00:45,416
there's loads of
4157
02:00:45,416 --> 02:00:45,875
things that
4158
02:00:45,875 --> 02:00:46,375
sharks do and
4159
02:00:46,375 --> 02:00:46,750
there's loads of
4160
02:00:46,750 --> 02:00:47,916
cool things that
4161
02:00:47,916 --> 02:00:48,333
you can learn
4162
02:00:48,333 --> 02:00:49,500
about them. Yeah,
4163
02:00:49,500 --> 02:00:50,500
yeah, I love it.
4164
02:00:50,500 --> 02:00:51,208
Just final quick
4165
02:00:51,208 --> 02:00:51,750
question. Like,
4166
02:00:51,750 --> 02:00:52,083
what would you
4167
02:00:52,083 --> 02:00:52,875
what advice would
4168
02:00:52,875 --> 02:00:53,500
you have for
4169
02:00:53,500 --> 02:00:54,125
someone, a young
4170
02:00:54,125 --> 02:00:54,750
person starting
4171
02:00:54,750 --> 02:00:56,750
out in shark
4172
02:00:56,750 --> 02:00:57,416
doing sharks
4173
02:00:57,416 --> 02:00:58,458
research, social
4174
02:00:58,458 --> 02:01:00,083
communication,
4175
02:01:00,416 --> 02:01:00,583
science
4176
02:01:00,583 --> 02:01:01,125
communication,
4177
02:01:01,125 --> 02:01:01,583
what would you
4178
02:01:01,583 --> 02:01:02,750
what advice would
4179
02:01:02,750 --> 02:01:03,750
you have? I think
4180
02:01:03,750 --> 02:01:04,583
for someone going
4181
02:01:04,583 --> 02:01:05,041
to shark
4182
02:01:05,041 --> 02:01:05,958
research, I would
4183
02:01:05,958 --> 02:01:07,250
say, don't
4184
02:01:07,250 --> 02:01:08,791
necessarily look
4185
02:01:08,791 --> 02:01:09,416
at the
4186
02:01:09,416 --> 02:01:10,458
traditional path,
4187
02:01:10,458 --> 02:01:12,000
right? That's
4188
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:12,666
what I did. And
4189
02:01:12,666 --> 02:01:13,125
it didn't work
4190
02:01:13,125 --> 02:01:13,833
for me. Some of the things that I did.
4191
02:01:13,875 --> 02:01:14,791
Some people that
4192
02:01:14,791 --> 02:01:15,500
can work for I'm
4193
02:01:15,500 --> 02:01:16,666
sure it can. But
4194
02:01:16,666 --> 02:01:17,750
just because the
4195
02:01:17,750 --> 02:01:18,625
traditional path
4196
02:01:18,625 --> 02:01:19,750
doesn't
4197
02:01:19,750 --> 02:01:20,916
necessarily work
4198
02:01:20,916 --> 02:01:21,416
for you, it
4199
02:01:21,416 --> 02:01:22,000
doesn't mean
4200
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:22,750
there isn't a
4201
02:01:22,750 --> 02:01:23,541
route for you
4202
02:01:23,541 --> 02:01:24,000
into the
4203
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:24,666
industry, right?
4204
02:01:25,083 --> 02:01:26,208
I think I'm, I'd
4205
02:01:26,208 --> 02:01:27,083
like to think I'm
4206
02:01:27,083 --> 02:01:27,458
an alright
4207
02:01:27,458 --> 02:01:28,375
example of that.
4208
02:01:29,083 --> 02:01:29,916
The traditional
4209
02:01:29,916 --> 02:01:30,666
path didn't work.
4210
02:01:30,958 --> 02:01:32,041
But I've weaseled
4211
02:01:32,041 --> 02:01:32,833
out a little
4212
02:01:32,833 --> 02:01:33,750
corner, a little
4213
02:01:33,750 --> 02:01:34,458
niche, a little
4214
02:01:34,458 --> 02:01:36,750
area that that is
4215
02:01:36,750 --> 02:01:37,708
important to me.
4216
02:01:37,958 --> 02:01:38,958
And I feel like
4217
02:01:38,958 --> 02:01:40,291
gives something
4218
02:01:40,291 --> 02:01:41,750
back to everyone
4219
02:01:41,750 --> 02:01:42,625
else as well. And
4220
02:01:42,625 --> 02:01:43,833
you don't
4221
02:01:43,833 --> 02:01:44,708
necessarily have
4222
02:01:44,708 --> 02:01:45,791
to go down that
4223
02:01:45,791 --> 02:01:46,791
that well trodden
4224
02:01:46,791 --> 02:01:47,750
path, you can you
4225
02:01:47,750 --> 02:01:48,333
can open
4226
02:01:48,333 --> 02:01:49,208
different doors,
4227
02:01:49,208 --> 02:01:49,666
right? You can
4228
02:01:49,666 --> 02:01:50,333
look at different
4229
02:01:50,333 --> 02:01:51,041
options and
4230
02:01:51,041 --> 02:01:51,916
explore different
4231
02:01:51,916 --> 02:01:52,500
things. Do you
4232
02:01:52,500 --> 02:01:53,083
want to go into
4233
02:01:53,083 --> 02:01:54,250
the more artsy
4234
02:01:54,250 --> 02:01:54,833
side of things?
4235
02:01:55,041 --> 02:01:55,958
And that's,
4236
02:01:55,958 --> 02:01:56,458
that's kind of
4237
02:01:56,458 --> 02:01:57,666
what I did. In
4238
02:01:57,666 --> 02:01:58,125
terms of science
4239
02:01:58,125 --> 02:01:59,000
communication, I
4240
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:00,875
think my best
4241
02:02:00,875 --> 02:02:01,666
advice would be
4242
02:02:01,666 --> 02:02:02,833
to if you if you
4243
02:02:02,833 --> 02:02:03,333
want to start
4244
02:02:03,333 --> 02:02:03,708
communicating
4245
02:02:03,708 --> 02:02:04,875
science, start
4246
02:02:04,875 --> 02:02:06,500
posting. Yeah,
4247
02:02:06,750 --> 02:02:07,291
set the camera
4248
02:02:07,291 --> 02:02:07,958
up, set the
4249
02:02:07,958 --> 02:02:08,708
microphone up,
4250
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:09,666
get that, you
4251
02:02:09,666 --> 02:02:10,166
know, get the
4252
02:02:10,166 --> 02:02:10,750
phone out,
4253
02:02:10,750 --> 02:02:12,166
record, just do
4254
02:02:12,166 --> 02:02:13,291
it. That's the
4255
02:02:13,291 --> 02:02:13,833
hardest step.
4256
02:02:13,875 --> 02:02:14,666
You can sit and
4257
02:02:14,666 --> 02:02:15,291
think about it
4258
02:02:15,291 --> 02:02:16,625
for months and
4259
02:02:16,625 --> 02:02:16,916
months and
4260
02:02:16,916 --> 02:02:18,208
months. Until you
4261
02:02:18,208 --> 02:02:19,291
do it. Yeah,
4262
02:02:19,291 --> 02:02:19,708
you're not going
4263
02:02:19,708 --> 02:02:20,375
to get any better
4264
02:02:20,375 --> 02:02:21,083
at it. And the
4265
02:02:21,083 --> 02:02:21,708
technology is
4266
02:02:21,708 --> 02:02:22,541
there now, right?
4267
02:02:22,541 --> 02:02:23,750
It's so easy to
4268
02:02:23,750 --> 02:02:24,583
do. We have these
4269
02:02:24,583 --> 02:02:25,458
devices in their
4270
02:02:25,458 --> 02:02:27,000
phone. We've got
4271
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:27,333
them in our
4272
02:02:27,333 --> 02:02:28,166
pockets, right?
4273
02:02:28,166 --> 02:02:28,708
Yeah, get that
4274
02:02:28,708 --> 02:02:29,500
out and film
4275
02:02:29,500 --> 02:02:30,166
something. Right?
4276
02:02:30,666 --> 02:02:31,500
Just just do it.
4277
02:02:31,500 --> 02:02:31,958
That's that would
4278
02:02:31,958 --> 02:02:33,208
be my my best
4279
02:02:33,208 --> 02:02:35,333
advice. Do it. Do
4280
02:02:35,333 --> 02:02:36,125
you know, get out
4281
02:02:36,125 --> 02:02:37,041
and do it and do
4282
02:02:37,041 --> 02:02:37,791
it because you
4283
02:02:37,791 --> 02:02:39,041
want to do it.
4284
02:02:39,250 --> 02:02:39,458
Absolutely.
4285
02:02:39,708 --> 02:02:40,083
That's the key.
4286
02:02:40,291 --> 02:02:40,666
Passionate about
4287
02:02:40,666 --> 02:02:42,000
it. Yeah, great.
4288
02:02:42,458 --> 02:02:43,791
That's great.
4289
02:02:44,083 --> 02:02:44,916
Super advice and
4290
02:02:44,916 --> 02:02:45,666
thank you so much
4291
02:02:45,666 --> 02:02:46,291
for coming on
4292
02:02:46,291 --> 02:02:47,666
today and sharing
4293
02:02:47,666 --> 02:02:48,375
your story with
4294
02:02:48,375 --> 02:02:49,541
us and we'll
4295
02:02:49,541 --> 02:02:50,000
definitely going
4296
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:50,500
to have you back
4297
02:02:50,500 --> 02:02:51,833
on. We got a lot
4298
02:02:51,833 --> 02:02:52,458
more to talk to
4299
02:02:52,458 --> 02:02:53,625
you about. So I
4300
02:02:53,625 --> 02:02:54,375
would absolutely
4301
02:02:54,375 --> 02:02:55,625
love to love to
4302
02:02:55,625 --> 02:02:56,166
come back on at
4303
02:02:56,166 --> 02:02:56,666
some point.
4304
02:02:56,666 --> 02:02:57,208
Thanks so much
4305
02:02:57,208 --> 02:02:57,500
for having
4306
02:02:57,500 --> 02:02:58,000
me, guys.
4307
02:02:58,333 --> 02:02:58,791
Thank you,
4308
02:02:58,791 --> 02:02:59,125
Christian. We
4309
02:02:59,125 --> 02:02:59,791
appreciate it.
4310
02:03:00,041 --> 02:03:00,250
Thank you,
4311
02:03:00,250 --> 02:03:00,666
Christian, for
4312
02:03:00,666 --> 02:03:01,250
joining us on
4313
02:03:01,250 --> 02:03:01,875
today's episode
4314
02:03:01,875 --> 02:03:02,541
of the Beyond
4315
02:03:02,541 --> 02:03:03,208
Jaws podcast.
4316
02:03:03,500 --> 02:03:03,958
Dave, like,
4317
02:03:03,958 --> 02:03:04,541
what'd you think
4318
02:03:04,541 --> 02:03:05,166
about this? I
4319
02:03:05,166 --> 02:03:05,625
know you didn't
4320
02:03:05,625 --> 02:03:06,500
know him too much
4321
02:03:06,500 --> 02:03:08,291
before we had him
4322
02:03:08,291 --> 02:03:09,000
on the podcast,
4323
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:10,041
but you said a
4324
02:03:10,041 --> 02:03:10,625
note after the
4325
02:03:10,625 --> 02:03:11,000
interview and
4326
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:11,500
you're like, that
4327
02:03:11,500 --> 02:03:12,041
was a lot of fun.
4328
02:03:12,541 --> 02:03:13,166
Yeah, well, that
4329
02:03:13,166 --> 02:03:13,791
was great. He was
4330
02:03:13,791 --> 02:03:14,833
a great cast.
4331
02:03:15,083 --> 02:03:15,833
But, you know,
4332
02:03:16,083 --> 02:03:16,625
like I was
4333
02:03:16,625 --> 02:03:17,833
familiar with his
4334
02:03:17,833 --> 02:03:18,791
his YouTube
4335
02:03:18,791 --> 02:03:19,458
channel and
4336
02:03:19,458 --> 02:03:19,875
stuff, but I
4337
02:03:19,875 --> 02:03:21,041
never really paid
4338
02:03:21,041 --> 02:03:21,458
that close
4339
02:03:21,458 --> 02:03:22,416
attention to it.
4340
02:03:22,416 --> 02:03:23,125
That one and the
4341
02:03:23,125 --> 02:03:23,791
other one, the
4342
02:03:23,791 --> 02:03:26,125
Jaws fan fan said
4343
02:03:26,125 --> 02:03:27,500
he had. I just
4344
02:03:27,500 --> 02:03:29,000
I'd never like
4345
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:29,875
I'd seen him, but
4346
02:03:29,875 --> 02:03:30,375
I never really
4347
02:03:30,375 --> 02:03:31,083
paid that close
4348
02:03:31,083 --> 02:03:31,750
attention to it.
4349
02:03:31,750 --> 02:03:32,958
I didn't I think
4350
02:03:32,958 --> 02:03:33,333
part of it, I
4351
02:03:33,333 --> 02:03:33,750
didn't recognize
4352
02:03:33,750 --> 02:03:34,541
the names with
4353
02:03:34,541 --> 02:03:35,000
it. I really
4354
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:35,541
wasn't sure who
4355
02:03:35,541 --> 02:03:36,416
was connected
4356
02:03:36,416 --> 02:03:37,125
with it. And so I
4357
02:03:37,125 --> 02:03:37,875
just there's a
4358
02:03:37,875 --> 02:03:38,500
lot of those out
4359
02:03:38,500 --> 02:03:39,041
there. And so I
4360
02:03:39,041 --> 02:03:39,458
don't unless
4361
02:03:39,458 --> 02:03:40,250
somebody says
4362
02:03:40,250 --> 02:03:41,625
points like you
4363
02:03:41,625 --> 02:03:42,291
did say, hey,
4364
02:03:42,291 --> 02:03:42,791
Dave, check this
4365
02:03:42,791 --> 02:03:43,291
one out. This
4366
02:03:43,291 --> 02:03:43,833
might be a really
4367
02:03:43,833 --> 02:03:44,416
good guess to
4368
02:03:44,416 --> 02:03:45,583
have on. Yeah, I
4369
02:03:45,583 --> 02:03:46,000
tend to I
4370
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:46,541
tend to.
4371
02:03:47,833 --> 02:03:48,500
You tend to miss
4372
02:03:48,500 --> 02:03:49,541
him sometimes. So
4373
02:03:49,541 --> 02:03:50,583
yeah, he was he
4374
02:03:50,583 --> 02:03:51,166
was phenomenal.
4375
02:03:51,458 --> 02:03:52,125
Just yeah, I just
4376
02:03:52,125 --> 02:03:52,833
basically found
4377
02:03:52,833 --> 02:03:53,500
something to do,
4378
02:03:53,500 --> 02:03:54,291
like, well, I
4379
02:03:54,291 --> 02:03:55,000
can't find a job.
4380
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:55,333
So I'll just
4381
02:03:55,333 --> 02:03:56,125
create my own,
4382
02:03:56,125 --> 02:03:56,958
which is
4383
02:03:56,958 --> 02:03:57,791
like great.
4384
02:03:57,791 --> 02:03:58,166
Well, I don't
4385
02:03:58,166 --> 02:03:58,708
even think he
4386
02:03:58,708 --> 02:04:00,166
expected it to
4387
02:04:00,166 --> 02:04:00,666
right. I didn't
4388
02:04:00,666 --> 02:04:01,208
expect the
4389
02:04:01,208 --> 02:04:01,833
channel to blow
4390
02:04:01,833 --> 02:04:02,458
up the way it
4391
02:04:02,458 --> 02:04:03,875
did. You know, he
4392
02:04:03,875 --> 02:04:04,500
said at one point
4393
02:04:04,500 --> 02:04:05,750
he got to 60,000.
4394
02:04:05,750 --> 02:04:06,041
Now he's at
4395
02:04:06,041 --> 02:04:07,500
184,000
4396
02:04:07,500 --> 02:04:08,500
subscribers. And,
4397
02:04:08,500 --> 02:04:09,708
you know, it's
4398
02:04:09,708 --> 02:04:10,916
now it's it's
4399
02:04:10,916 --> 02:04:11,458
providing him
4400
02:04:11,458 --> 02:04:12,375
with the money he
4401
02:04:12,375 --> 02:04:13,291
needs to survive
4402
02:04:13,291 --> 02:04:14,041
to put food on
4403
02:04:14,041 --> 02:04:14,875
the table to pay
4404
02:04:14,875 --> 02:04:15,875
for rent and all
4405
02:04:15,875 --> 02:04:16,375
that kind of
4406
02:04:16,375 --> 02:04:17,500
stuff. And and I
4407
02:04:17,500 --> 02:04:19,000
think it's it's
4408
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:20,083
we're starting to
4409
02:04:20,083 --> 02:04:22,000
see a lot of
4410
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:22,875
people from
4411
02:04:22,875 --> 02:04:23,625
different
4412
02:04:23,625 --> 02:04:24,500
generations, not
4413
02:04:24,500 --> 02:04:24,958
just young
4414
02:04:24,958 --> 02:04:25,875
generations, but
4415
02:04:25,875 --> 02:04:26,958
starting to come
4416
02:04:26,958 --> 02:04:27,500
out with
4417
02:04:27,500 --> 02:04:27,791
their own.
4418
02:04:27,916 --> 02:04:29,083
Own way of
4419
02:04:29,083 --> 02:04:30,083
earning like
4420
02:04:30,083 --> 02:04:31,041
money and and,
4421
02:04:31,041 --> 02:04:31,583
you know, we're
4422
02:04:31,583 --> 02:04:34,000
in this content
4423
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:35,125
creation time
4424
02:04:35,125 --> 02:04:37,250
where people have
4425
02:04:37,250 --> 02:04:38,416
the ability to
4426
02:04:38,416 --> 02:04:39,250
create their own
4427
02:04:39,250 --> 02:04:40,333
content and make
4428
02:04:40,333 --> 02:04:41,500
money off of it.
4429
02:04:41,833 --> 02:04:43,208
It's hard to do. Not
4430
02:04:43,208 --> 02:04:44,250
everybody can do it.
4431
02:04:44,958 --> 02:04:45,750
But if you're
4432
02:04:45,750 --> 02:04:46,833
able to do and
4433
02:04:46,833 --> 02:04:47,208
you're putting
4434
02:04:47,208 --> 02:04:47,875
the dedication
4435
02:04:47,875 --> 02:04:49,291
and doing it, you
4436
02:04:49,291 --> 02:04:50,625
have it opens you
4437
02:04:50,625 --> 02:04:51,500
up to so many
4438
02:04:51,500 --> 02:04:52,208
more things that
4439
02:04:52,208 --> 02:04:53,541
you can do on
4440
02:04:53,541 --> 02:04:56,166
your own time
4441
02:04:56,166 --> 02:04:57,458
with your own,
4442
02:04:57,458 --> 02:04:58,291
you know, your
4443
02:04:58,291 --> 02:04:59,083
own way.
4444
02:04:59,541 --> 02:05:00,333
And you don't
4445
02:05:00,333 --> 02:05:01,666
have to have a
4446
02:05:01,666 --> 02:05:02,458
job that may only
4447
02:05:02,458 --> 02:05:03,166
have like six
4448
02:05:03,166 --> 02:05:04,041
months funding or
4449
02:05:04,041 --> 02:05:04,500
three months
4450
02:05:04,500 --> 02:05:05,333
funding or a year
4451
02:05:05,333 --> 02:05:06,500
funding and have
4452
02:05:06,500 --> 02:05:07,208
to move across
4453
02:05:07,208 --> 02:05:08,041
the world or move
4454
02:05:08,041 --> 02:05:08,541
across the
4455
02:05:08,541 --> 02:05:09,083
country or
4456
02:05:09,083 --> 02:05:09,625
wherever you're
4457
02:05:09,625 --> 02:05:10,500
living and have
4458
02:05:10,500 --> 02:05:11,000
to uproot
4459
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:11,375
yourself.
4460
02:05:11,875 --> 02:05:12,458
You can do it
4461
02:05:12,458 --> 02:05:12,958
from wherever
4462
02:05:12,958 --> 02:05:14,000
you'd like. You
4463
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:14,875
can travel if you
4464
02:05:14,875 --> 02:05:15,833
want. You can you
4465
02:05:15,833 --> 02:05:16,333
can collaborate
4466
02:05:16,333 --> 02:05:16,583
with
4467
02:05:16,583 --> 02:05:17,500
whoever you want.
4468
02:05:18,083 --> 02:05:19,375
There's not a lot
4469
02:05:19,375 --> 02:05:20,041
of restrictions
4470
02:05:20,041 --> 02:05:21,083
in that. And it
4471
02:05:21,083 --> 02:05:22,458
gives it kind of
4472
02:05:22,458 --> 02:05:23,125
opens up that
4473
02:05:23,125 --> 02:05:24,041
entrepreneur life
4474
02:05:24,041 --> 02:05:25,000
for scientists
4475
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:25,916
and
4476
02:05:25,916 --> 02:05:26,791
conservationists,
4477
02:05:26,791 --> 02:05:27,416
especially in the
4478
02:05:27,416 --> 02:05:28,583
shark world, to
4479
02:05:28,583 --> 02:05:28,875
be able
4480
02:05:28,875 --> 02:05:29,333
to do that.
4481
02:05:29,375 --> 02:05:30,291
And I think, you
4482
02:05:30,291 --> 02:05:33,666
know, Christian
4483
02:05:33,666 --> 02:05:34,416
is a great
4484
02:05:34,416 --> 02:05:34,958
example of that
4485
02:05:34,958 --> 02:05:35,250
with his
4486
02:05:35,250 --> 02:05:35,791
shark bites.
4487
02:05:36,583 --> 02:05:37,250
Kate Passionate,
4488
02:05:37,458 --> 02:05:38,916
who is a marine
4489
02:05:38,916 --> 02:05:40,041
mammal biologist,
4490
02:05:40,041 --> 02:05:40,958
who's on YouTube,
4491
02:05:41,500 --> 02:05:42,125
very similar
4492
02:05:42,125 --> 02:05:42,333
channels.
4493
02:05:42,708 --> 02:05:43,541
And but she talks
4494
02:05:43,541 --> 02:05:44,083
about marine
4495
02:05:44,083 --> 02:05:44,625
mammals and
4496
02:05:44,625 --> 02:05:45,458
marine science as
4497
02:05:45,458 --> 02:05:47,041
well. She has a
4498
02:05:47,041 --> 02:05:47,333
lot of
4499
02:05:47,333 --> 02:05:47,916
subscribers.
4500
02:05:48,500 --> 02:05:48,833
She's able
4501
02:05:48,833 --> 02:05:49,125
to do that.
4502
02:05:49,125 --> 02:05:49,583
She's got a full
4503
02:05:49,583 --> 02:05:50,375
time job as well.
4504
02:05:50,375 --> 02:05:51,000
But she does this
4505
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:52,416
on the kind of on
4506
02:05:52,416 --> 02:05:52,958
the side, but
4507
02:05:52,958 --> 02:05:53,625
probably earns
4508
02:05:53,625 --> 02:05:54,625
similar amounts
4509
02:05:54,625 --> 02:05:55,583
of money to it.
4510
02:05:55,750 --> 02:05:56,083
And it just
4511
02:05:56,083 --> 02:05:57,250
allows people to
4512
02:05:57,250 --> 02:05:58,250
be a little bit
4513
02:05:58,250 --> 02:05:58,833
have a little bit
4514
02:05:58,833 --> 02:05:59,750
more freedom in
4515
02:05:59,750 --> 02:06:00,375
the career
4516
02:06:00,375 --> 02:06:00,958
decisions that
4517
02:06:00,958 --> 02:06:02,208
they make and not
4518
02:06:02,208 --> 02:06:02,708
always looking
4519
02:06:02,708 --> 02:06:03,333
for that extra
4520
02:06:03,333 --> 02:06:03,666
funding.
4521
02:06:03,666 --> 02:06:04,083
They're able to
4522
02:06:04,083 --> 02:06:05,000
drive their own
4523
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:05,958
funding. I love
4524
02:06:05,958 --> 02:06:07,416
and respect the
4525
02:06:07,416 --> 02:06:07,958
amount of work it
4526
02:06:07,958 --> 02:06:08,333
takes because,
4527
02:06:08,333 --> 02:06:09,083
you know, I'm
4528
02:06:09,083 --> 02:06:10,083
we're struggling
4529
02:06:10,083 --> 02:06:10,666
with like we're
4530
02:06:10,666 --> 02:06:11,083
getting a couple
4531
02:06:11,083 --> 02:06:11,833
hundred views and
4532
02:06:11,833 --> 02:06:12,500
we're happy with
4533
02:06:12,500 --> 02:06:12,666
it and
4534
02:06:12,666 --> 02:06:13,125
stuff here.
4535
02:06:13,125 --> 02:06:13,416
They're getting
4536
02:06:13,416 --> 02:06:14,541
like tens of
4537
02:06:14,541 --> 02:06:15,083
thousands of
4538
02:06:15,083 --> 02:06:15,833
views, even more
4539
02:06:15,833 --> 02:06:17,041
than that. And
4540
02:06:17,041 --> 02:06:17,791
it's great.
4541
02:06:17,833 --> 02:06:19,375
So I just I love
4542
02:06:19,375 --> 02:06:21,125
this new formula
4543
02:06:21,125 --> 02:06:22,583
to have a career
4544
02:06:22,583 --> 02:06:23,458
and the ability
4545
02:06:23,458 --> 02:06:23,958
that the Internet
4546
02:06:23,958 --> 02:06:24,625
can provide,
4547
02:06:25,458 --> 02:06:26,000
which is not a
4548
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:26,666
traditional way
4549
02:06:26,666 --> 02:06:27,375
of doing things
4550
02:06:27,375 --> 02:06:28,083
for the marine
4551
02:06:28,083 --> 02:06:28,833
science world.
4552
02:06:28,958 --> 02:06:29,583
Yeah. And I think
4553
02:06:29,583 --> 02:06:30,333
I think the big
4554
02:06:30,333 --> 02:06:31,125
thing to think to
4555
02:06:31,125 --> 02:06:31,791
we talked about
4556
02:06:31,791 --> 02:06:32,375
that as well as
4557
02:06:32,375 --> 02:06:33,666
like you can he
4558
02:06:33,666 --> 02:06:34,125
talked about how
4559
02:06:34,125 --> 02:06:34,791
excited he was to
4560
02:06:34,791 --> 02:06:35,166
do a shark
4561
02:06:35,166 --> 02:06:35,708
week show.
4562
02:06:36,208 --> 02:06:36,750
You know, then we
4563
02:06:36,750 --> 02:06:37,291
got into like,
4564
02:06:37,291 --> 02:06:37,625
you know,
4565
02:06:37,916 --> 02:06:38,291
obviously, I've
4566
02:06:38,291 --> 02:06:38,583
done those
4567
02:06:38,583 --> 02:06:39,166
for years.
4568
02:06:39,166 --> 02:06:39,625
And I'm just
4569
02:06:39,625 --> 02:06:40,125
like, you know,
4570
02:06:40,958 --> 02:06:41,333
when you're on
4571
02:06:41,333 --> 02:06:41,875
those shows, you
4572
02:06:41,875 --> 02:06:42,625
got to follow the
4573
02:06:42,625 --> 02:06:43,333
script that they
4574
02:06:43,333 --> 02:06:44,041
put out to you
4575
02:06:44,041 --> 02:06:45,208
where the thing I
4576
02:06:45,208 --> 02:06:45,750
found, which
4577
02:06:45,750 --> 02:06:46,416
really and you
4578
02:06:46,416 --> 02:06:47,250
know, this really
4579
02:06:47,250 --> 02:06:47,750
got me going.
4580
02:06:47,750 --> 02:06:48,916
On my own YouTube
4581
02:06:48,916 --> 02:06:49,666
channel now with
4582
02:06:49,666 --> 02:06:50,250
the lost sharks
4583
02:06:50,250 --> 02:06:51,791
is I could tell
4584
02:06:51,791 --> 02:06:52,333
the story the way
4585
02:06:52,333 --> 02:06:53,083
I want to tell
4586
02:06:53,083 --> 02:06:54,333
them. Yeah. And
4587
02:06:54,333 --> 02:06:55,375
so like I'm
4588
02:06:55,375 --> 02:06:56,166
way going.
4589
02:06:56,166 --> 02:06:56,541
That's why we've
4590
02:06:56,541 --> 02:06:56,833
been really
4591
02:06:56,833 --> 02:06:57,500
trying to put it.
4592
02:06:57,500 --> 02:06:57,958
We put it up, put
4593
02:06:57,958 --> 02:06:58,458
a lot of effort
4594
02:06:58,458 --> 02:06:58,791
into these
4595
02:06:58,791 --> 02:07:00,000
stories, as you
4596
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:00,541
know, Andrew,
4597
02:07:00,541 --> 02:07:01,083
trying to like
4598
02:07:01,083 --> 02:07:02,125
have try to put
4599
02:07:02,125 --> 02:07:02,750
out, you know,
4600
02:07:02,750 --> 02:07:03,750
for the resources
4601
02:07:03,750 --> 02:07:04,875
we have access to
4602
02:07:04,875 --> 02:07:06,333
put out a story,
4603
02:07:06,708 --> 02:07:07,541
compelling story
4604
02:07:07,541 --> 02:07:07,958
about these
4605
02:07:07,958 --> 02:07:08,541
different sharks
4606
02:07:08,541 --> 02:07:09,208
and these little
4607
02:07:09,208 --> 02:07:09,708
known ones.
4608
02:07:10,166 --> 02:07:10,541
But it's like
4609
02:07:10,541 --> 02:07:11,083
we're telling the
4610
02:07:11,083 --> 02:07:12,708
story the way I,
4611
02:07:12,708 --> 02:07:13,083
you know, I'm in
4612
02:07:13,083 --> 02:07:13,541
my case, I'm
4613
02:07:13,541 --> 02:07:14,000
telling the story
4614
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:14,416
of what I
4615
02:07:14,416 --> 02:07:14,958
want to tell.
4616
02:07:15,625 --> 02:07:15,958
And hopefully
4617
02:07:15,958 --> 02:07:16,833
people pick up on
4618
02:07:16,833 --> 02:07:17,333
that. And that's
4619
02:07:17,333 --> 02:07:18,583
kind of what he's
4620
02:07:18,583 --> 02:07:19,208
he's kind of
4621
02:07:19,208 --> 02:07:19,791
doing, too. He's
4622
02:07:19,791 --> 02:07:20,208
just putting out
4623
02:07:20,208 --> 02:07:20,791
information.
4624
02:07:22,041 --> 02:07:22,583
If I want to know
4625
02:07:22,583 --> 02:07:23,375
nothing to him.
4626
02:07:23,916 --> 02:07:24,291
Yeah. I want to
4627
02:07:24,291 --> 02:07:24,791
say anything. I
4628
02:07:24,791 --> 02:07:25,250
want to say to
4629
02:07:25,250 --> 02:07:25,708
him. We've had
4630
02:07:25,708 --> 02:07:26,500
never we had that
4631
02:07:26,500 --> 02:07:27,291
we've had a few
4632
02:07:27,291 --> 02:07:27,833
people on
4633
02:07:27,833 --> 02:07:28,125
recently.
4634
02:07:28,375 --> 02:07:28,708
We've had a
4635
02:07:28,708 --> 02:07:29,416
number of them on
4636
02:07:29,416 --> 02:07:30,916
as he talked
4637
02:07:30,916 --> 02:07:31,500
about he couldn't
4638
02:07:31,500 --> 02:07:32,166
find a job.
4639
02:07:32,333 --> 02:07:32,625
You know, he
4640
02:07:32,625 --> 02:07:32,958
wasn't getting
4641
02:07:32,958 --> 02:07:33,416
interviews,
4642
02:07:33,416 --> 02:07:34,083
wasn't anywhere.
4643
02:07:34,083 --> 02:07:35,250
And, you know,
4644
02:07:35,250 --> 02:07:35,791
some of the, you
4645
02:07:35,791 --> 02:07:36,416
know, I know the
4646
02:07:36,416 --> 02:07:37,000
young people
4647
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:37,583
think like, oh,
4648
02:07:37,583 --> 02:07:38,000
there's just no
4649
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:38,833
jobs right now.
4650
02:07:38,875 --> 02:07:39,291
And money's
4651
02:07:39,291 --> 02:07:40,333
tight. Well, let
4652
02:07:40,333 --> 02:07:40,750
me tell you,
4653
02:07:40,750 --> 02:07:41,166
somebody who's
4654
02:07:41,166 --> 02:07:41,958
been around a lot
4655
02:07:41,958 --> 02:07:43,333
longer than going
4656
02:07:43,333 --> 02:07:43,833
back to the
4657
02:07:43,833 --> 02:07:44,791
eighties. There's
4658
02:07:44,791 --> 02:07:45,500
never been a lot
4659
02:07:45,500 --> 02:07:46,916
of jobs in the
4660
02:07:46,916 --> 02:07:47,708
field going even
4661
02:07:47,708 --> 02:07:48,333
the only time
4662
02:07:48,333 --> 02:07:48,875
there's a bit of
4663
02:07:48,875 --> 02:07:49,583
a spike was in
4664
02:07:49,583 --> 02:07:49,916
the sixties.
4665
02:07:50,625 --> 02:07:51,166
Yeah. In the
4666
02:07:51,166 --> 02:07:51,791
seventies, it
4667
02:07:51,791 --> 02:07:53,750
dried up. And my
4668
02:07:53,750 --> 02:07:54,500
professors told
4669
02:07:54,500 --> 02:07:55,208
me this back at
4670
02:07:55,208 --> 02:07:55,916
the time when I
4671
02:07:55,916 --> 02:07:56,416
was in school in
4672
02:07:56,416 --> 02:07:56,666
the late
4673
02:07:56,666 --> 02:07:57,333
seventies and
4674
02:07:57,333 --> 02:07:58,041
early eighties,
4675
02:07:58,041 --> 02:07:59,125
it just, you
4676
02:07:59,125 --> 02:07:59,416
know, there's
4677
02:07:59,416 --> 02:08:00,083
just it's just
4678
02:08:00,083 --> 02:08:00,750
never been a
4679
02:08:00,750 --> 02:08:01,291
field. There's
4680
02:08:01,291 --> 02:08:02,125
been jobs at.
4681
02:08:02,750 --> 02:08:03,208
And I mean, I
4682
02:08:03,208 --> 02:08:03,625
could tell I've
4683
02:08:03,625 --> 02:08:04,166
never had a
4684
02:08:04,166 --> 02:08:05,041
regular job. I've
4685
02:08:05,041 --> 02:08:05,583
never had a
4686
02:08:05,583 --> 02:08:06,833
permanent hard
4687
02:08:06,833 --> 02:08:07,875
money job in my
4688
02:08:07,875 --> 02:08:08,625
entire career. So
4689
02:08:08,625 --> 02:08:09,541
if you're 30
4690
02:08:09,541 --> 02:08:10,208
years old,
4691
02:08:10,208 --> 02:08:10,458
thinking like,
4692
02:08:10,458 --> 02:08:10,958
wow, what am I
4693
02:08:10,958 --> 02:08:11,333
going to do?
4694
02:08:11,333 --> 02:08:11,916
Like, well, I'm a
4695
02:08:11,916 --> 02:08:12,500
lot older than
4696
02:08:12,500 --> 02:08:14,208
that. And I just
4697
02:08:14,208 --> 02:08:15,708
passion,
4698
02:08:15,708 --> 02:08:16,791
perseverance,
4699
02:08:17,750 --> 02:08:18,791
drive. If you
4700
02:08:18,791 --> 02:08:19,625
really want to
4701
02:08:19,625 --> 02:08:20,000
stick into it,
4702
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:20,875
but don't think
4703
02:08:20,875 --> 02:08:21,166
you're going to
4704
02:08:21,166 --> 02:08:21,875
get a job. And
4705
02:08:21,875 --> 02:08:23,208
the thing I think
4706
02:08:23,208 --> 02:08:23,750
with a lot of
4707
02:08:23,750 --> 02:08:24,166
people who've had
4708
02:08:24,166 --> 02:08:24,916
the show is
4709
02:08:24,916 --> 02:08:26,000
they've had a lot
4710
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:26,291
of very
4711
02:08:26,291 --> 02:08:26,750
entrepreneurial
4712
02:08:26,750 --> 02:08:27,958
people. They come
4713
02:08:27,958 --> 02:08:29,375
to realize like I
4714
02:08:29,375 --> 02:08:30,833
can do, I can
4715
02:08:30,833 --> 02:08:31,625
wait around, try
4716
02:08:31,625 --> 02:08:32,208
and maybe like,
4717
02:08:32,250 --> 02:08:32,541
I can get lucky
4718
02:08:32,541 --> 02:08:33,791
and land a job or
4719
02:08:33,791 --> 02:08:35,041
I can, I can
4720
02:08:35,041 --> 02:08:36,500
start my own. And
4721
02:08:36,500 --> 02:08:37,416
as we say with
4722
02:08:37,416 --> 02:08:38,208
the pros and cons
4723
02:08:38,208 --> 02:08:39,250
about it, we've
4724
02:08:39,250 --> 02:08:39,750
talked with other
4725
02:08:39,750 --> 02:08:40,333
people about
4726
02:08:40,333 --> 02:08:41,375
this, you know,
4727
02:08:41,375 --> 02:08:42,291
is that if you do
4728
02:08:42,291 --> 02:08:42,750
your own thing,
4729
02:08:42,750 --> 02:08:43,250
you can do it the
4730
02:08:43,250 --> 02:08:43,916
way you want to
4731
02:08:43,916 --> 02:08:45,041
do it. Yeah. You
4732
02:08:45,041 --> 02:08:45,500
know, there's
4733
02:08:45,500 --> 02:08:46,125
downsides because
4734
02:08:46,125 --> 02:08:46,750
you have to run a
4735
02:08:46,750 --> 02:08:47,500
business, which
4736
02:08:47,500 --> 02:08:48,291
it is a business,
4737
02:08:48,833 --> 02:08:49,416
but you can, you
4738
02:08:49,416 --> 02:08:50,166
can focus and
4739
02:08:50,166 --> 02:08:51,000
gear towards what
4740
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:51,791
you want to do.
4741
02:08:52,125 --> 02:08:52,625
And there's a lot
4742
02:08:52,625 --> 02:08:53,166
to be said about
4743
02:08:53,166 --> 02:08:54,000
that. You know,
4744
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:55,375
if you're that
4745
02:08:55,375 --> 02:08:56,291
cliche about, you
4746
02:08:56,291 --> 02:08:56,958
know, if you do
4747
02:08:56,958 --> 02:08:57,458
something, you
4748
02:08:57,458 --> 02:08:58,041
enjoy, you never
4749
02:08:58,041 --> 02:08:58,666
work a day in
4750
02:08:58,666 --> 02:08:59,250
your life. And
4751
02:08:59,250 --> 02:08:59,708
that's really,
4752
02:08:59,708 --> 02:09:00,208
it's true.
4753
02:09:00,875 --> 02:09:03,041
And so, and
4754
02:09:03,041 --> 02:09:03,666
certainly
4755
02:09:03,666 --> 02:09:04,875
Kristen, he's
4756
02:09:04,875 --> 02:09:06,083
done that man.
4757
02:09:06,083 --> 02:09:06,791
He's really did
4758
02:09:06,791 --> 02:09:07,833
that. And it's
4759
02:09:07,833 --> 02:09:09,583
amazing. Yeah. So
4760
02:09:09,583 --> 02:09:10,125
it's trying to
4761
02:09:10,125 --> 02:09:10,625
try and figure
4762
02:09:10,625 --> 02:09:11,166
out how to build
4763
02:09:11,166 --> 02:09:11,791
a pickup, picked
4764
02:09:11,791 --> 02:09:12,458
up a few things
4765
02:09:12,458 --> 02:09:13,000
from him.
4766
02:09:13,208 --> 02:09:13,791
Exactly.
4767
02:09:14,291 --> 02:09:14,791
Hopefully get out
4768
02:09:14,791 --> 02:09:15,333
there and we're
4769
02:09:15,333 --> 02:09:15,500
going to have
4770
02:09:15,500 --> 02:09:15,625
some
4771
02:09:15,625 --> 02:09:16,041
conversations
4772
02:09:16,041 --> 02:09:16,750
with them after
4773
02:09:16,750 --> 02:09:17,708
to make sure that
4774
02:09:17,708 --> 02:09:18,708
we can take
4775
02:09:18,708 --> 02:09:19,791
advantage of what
4776
02:09:19,791 --> 02:09:20,458
he knows. And
4777
02:09:20,458 --> 02:09:21,166
he's super happy
4778
02:09:21,166 --> 02:09:22,416
to help us out.
4779
02:09:22,833 --> 02:09:23,208
You know, he
4780
02:09:23,208 --> 02:09:23,916
says, look, I'm
4781
02:09:23,916 --> 02:09:24,541
not a guru. I
4782
02:09:24,541 --> 02:09:25,166
just, this is,
4783
02:09:25,166 --> 02:09:25,583
this has worked
4784
02:09:25,583 --> 02:09:26,500
out for me. And,
4785
02:09:26,666 --> 02:09:27,333
um, you know, you
4786
02:09:27,333 --> 02:09:28,000
look at how
4787
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:28,458
things are
4788
02:09:28,458 --> 02:09:29,291
packaged and,
4789
02:09:29,500 --> 02:09:30,083
and, and on
4790
02:09:30,083 --> 02:09:30,916
YouTube and why
4791
02:09:30,916 --> 02:09:31,708
people click. And
4792
02:09:31,708 --> 02:09:32,500
I think that's
4793
02:09:32,500 --> 02:09:33,166
really what we,
4794
02:09:33,416 --> 02:09:33,916
what you have to
4795
02:09:33,916 --> 02:09:34,500
go with. And I
4796
02:09:34,500 --> 02:09:34,833
think that's
4797
02:09:34,833 --> 02:09:35,375
really, that's
4798
02:09:35,375 --> 02:09:35,916
really important.
4799
02:09:36,291 --> 02:09:37,208
So, um, yeah, it
4800
02:09:37,208 --> 02:09:37,791
was great to have
4801
02:09:37,791 --> 02:09:38,166
him on the
4802
02:09:38,166 --> 02:09:38,875
podcast. You
4803
02:09:38,875 --> 02:09:39,458
can't wait to
4804
02:09:39,458 --> 02:09:39,875
have him on
4805
02:09:39,875 --> 02:09:40,416
again. Cause I
4806
02:09:40,416 --> 02:09:40,916
think he's got so
4807
02:09:40,916 --> 02:09:41,500
much information
4808
02:09:41,500 --> 02:09:42,625
to share just
4809
02:09:42,625 --> 02:09:43,583
about career wise
4810
02:09:43,583 --> 02:09:44,041
and science
4811
02:09:44,041 --> 02:09:44,375
communication,
4812
02:09:44,375 --> 02:09:45,625
but also science.
4813
02:09:45,625 --> 02:09:46,625
Um, and I think
4814
02:09:46,625 --> 02:09:47,166
it's really fun
4815
02:09:47,166 --> 02:09:47,791
to be able to
4816
02:09:47,791 --> 02:09:48,875
look at this new
4817
02:09:48,875 --> 02:09:50,958
type of path that
4818
02:09:50,958 --> 02:09:51,500
we haven't
4819
02:09:51,500 --> 02:09:52,708
explored in the, in the past.
4820
02:09:52,708 --> 02:09:53,916
So we were able
4821
02:09:53,916 --> 02:09:54,500
to explore it
4822
02:09:54,500 --> 02:09:55,000
with Christian,
4823
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:55,500
which is great.
4824
02:09:55,791 --> 02:09:56,458
So thank you
4825
02:09:56,458 --> 02:09:56,791

02:09:56,791 --> 02:09:57,208
