And my 47 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.080 life has definitely got me into some really interesting places, 48 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.280 like you know, just having the being able to run 49 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.000 track and field in high school and growing up and 50 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.879 just having that coach that believed in me to just 51 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.240 be there for me mentally and make me mentally strong 52 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.000 and make me want all of these great things for myself. 53 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.680 She kind of instilled a lot of that for me. 54 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.120 So moving forward in my life, it just seemed like 55 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.120 I'd always find myself in these crazy places where it's 56 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.240 just like either my just one and adrenaline rush or 57 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.120 just wanting to just I don't know, exceed people's expectations 58 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.240 because sometimes they'll see a female and they'd be like, 59 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.199 oh my gosh, she can stick with the guys and running, 60 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.520 she can box, she can do all of this. I 61 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.159 just I love that feeling of just being an inspiring 62 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.759 female that could do all these things. 63 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.719 And now I'm on the ultimate stage to be. 64 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.319 Able to inspire little girls and girls everywhere to do 65 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.960 awesome things like this, even in a male dominated sport. 66 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:13.479 You know, if you feel like you got it, go 67 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:13.960 for it. 68 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.000 I love that. 69 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.879 And I've seen your videos and your driving style is 70 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.240 as aggressive as anyone's. What is your mentality though, I mean, 71 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.080 beyond the desire for the adrenaline rush. What's your mentality 72 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.800 when you step in a Sparkle smash or any monster truck. 73 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.960 Well, you know, I'm trying to build a name for 74 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.879 myself in the sport. I'm not a second generation driver. 75 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:34.360 You know. 76 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.599 I got into motocross at about twenty years old and 77 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.400 found my way into motorsports, which is something that I 78 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.680 truly love. And you know, I want to make a 79 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.919 name for myself in this sport and in Monster Jam. 80 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.479 You know, you have so many opportunities to be the 81 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.120 world finals champion, to do this, do that, but you 82 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.000 have to be ready for when that time comes. And 83 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.759 you know, like I said, my son, he's twelve years 84 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.800 old and he's coming up, and I want him to 85 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.280 ultimately maybe be a generation driver, so to be able 86 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.080 to kind of edge my name in the Monster Dam 87 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.560 history books in any sype of toward it sort of way. 88 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.719 You know, it would be awesome for him coming in 89 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.080 the sport, and that would open up a door of 90 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:12.319 opportunity for him. 91 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.360 You know that wasn't available for me. 92 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.879 I kind of had to open up all of those 93 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.240 doors for myself throughout my entire life, and I never 94 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.759 really had anyone's help, you know, to do that but 95 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.279 my own. So I think that's what that's kind of 96 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:25.959 taught me over the years is just kind of do 97 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.879 what I need to do to help my son get 98 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.920 to the next level and maybe make it a little 99 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.079 easier for him than I did, but still teach him 100 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.600 the values that it needs to learn. 101 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.759 Obviously, at the beginning of our conversation, you express your 102 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.680 affection for Anaheim, and by that also it means Angel Stadium, 103 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.399 So take me to Angel Stadium. What should someone expect 104 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.759 to see, or hear or experience while at Monster Jam 105 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.720 this weekend, Well, if. 106 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.000 You've never been to Monster dam at Anaheim, it's like 107 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:54.240 anything that you've. 108 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.680 Never been to is for everyone. 109 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.759 And when I say it's for everyone, it's for mom, 110 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.120 dad's sister, brother, aunt, uncle Graham, called Grandma. Everyone is 111 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.879 going to find something that they love about this monster 112 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.480 Truck event, whether it be the racing or the two 113 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.920 wheel skills that we do where we're putting these trucks 114 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.040 on two wheels and balancing them and walking them back 115 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.480 and forth, or freestyle where you've never seen the twelve 116 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.639 thousand pound moster jam truck, do a backflip, or have 117 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.040 fifty sixty feet of air into a crazy crash or save. 118 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.800 So it really is always. 119 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.600 Something that someone's gonna want to come back to. And 120 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.519 I love Anaheim so much. I've been going to Anaheim 121 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.680 for the past four years now on my stadium tour 122 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.000 and I was driving Soldier Fortune on my first freestyle 123 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.040 there in Anaheim, and man, the support that I have there, 124 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.639 I just feel it when I am there, and I 125 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.160 know each and every one of these fans at Anaheim 126 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.319 always have my bag no matter what moster jam truck 127 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.759 I'm driving, and I love. 128 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:49.439 It coming out there. 129 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.120 Just feeling the support, it makes me want to go 130 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.199 out there and win ten times more. And we do 131 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.040 pit party, you know before the event, where we have 132 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.639 everyone come out and we're by our trucks signing autographs, 133 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.079 chit chatting with everyone, and that's such a great time. 134 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.240 I've met so many people over the years that I 135 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.639 have like so many personal relationships with now, and they 136 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.279 follow my career and they support me. And you know, 137 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.160 being a female in this male dominated sports sometimes you 138 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.959 got to be mentally tough. And having all of that 139 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.079 support going into the event sometimes I feel like definitely 140 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.079 like pumps you up and motivates you be like, yes 141 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.120 I do belong here. Yes I am gonna go out there, 142 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.879 and I'm capable of doing everything that these guys are doing. 143 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.839 So I love Anaheim, always have. Y'all have a special 144 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.360 place in my heart. And every time I come out there, 145 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.639 I'm gonna drive that truck into the ground. 146 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.879 Talk about mental toughness and being a competitor and this 147 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.879 twelve thousand pound machine that you're driving. Let me take 148 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.439 this in a different direction. All competitors have good days 149 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.399 and they have bad days. But monster Jam, you're also 150 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.560 at the mercy of that twelve thousand pound monster truck. 151 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.480 How much does a truck vary from day to day, 152 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.519 from competition to competition. 153 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:03.959 Well, you know, I'm not gonna lie, man. My whole 154 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.240 life growing up, I've had what you call hard luck. 155 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.160 So I've had that hard luck and I've had to 156 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.519 work through it. And no matter if it is the 157 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.800 monster damn truck that kind of fails me at the moment, 158 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.279 And it just seems like a lot of times that's 159 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.120 what it is. Makes with a little bit of bad 160 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.519 luck for me, So it seems like there's a lot 161 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.000 of times where it's just like back to back struggles 162 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.920 and issues with the monster damn truck, whether it be 163 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.120 breaking an axle and racing, or the transmission going out 164 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.199 in two will, or you not being able to finish 165 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.480 your freestyle because your rear steer went out, or you 166 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.800 rip the hose, and you know, it's always something and 167 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.040 you just have to learn how to You have to understand, 168 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.759 first off, it's a monster truck. You know it's holding 169 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.600 up to what we're doing, but they're not made for 170 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.040 these things, so sometimes things are going to break, and 171 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.040 you know, you just got to move forward to the 172 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.560 next event. And I am so competitive and I want 173 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.079 to go out there and win every time. So every 174 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.639 time I go out there and I don't hit my 175 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.839 mark and I'm not successful, you know, I take it 176 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.920 to heart. I beat myself up and I'm hard on 177 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.120 myself and all the guys know it. So when they 178 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.120 see me, they're like, hey, get out of your own head, 179 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.560 go out there and have fun. And I really feel 180 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.759 like after doing this for ten years, that is literally 181 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.040 what it is. You have to go out there and say, 182 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.600 this is my job. I'm gonna have fun and whether 183 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.560 I go out there and win or not. The fact 184 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.839 that I have the guts to go out there and 185 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.519 show these little girls that we can drive Monster Jam 186 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.959 trucks and we can do crazy stuff, I think that 187 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.839 just says volumes in itself, you know.

When the Monster Jam 208 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.799 Suga began in nineteen ninety two, they made the jump 209 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.840 into the big time and it's currently a thriving, multi 210 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.120 million dollar industry. 211 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.600 While crushing cars was. 212 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.039 Once pretty cool, today Monster Jam drivers have definitely taken 213 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:45.759 monster truck racing and freestyle competition to all new heights. 214 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.519 And soon would be forty five thousand people in these 215 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.200 stands to watch it.

Last segment, I was listening 230 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.399 to you and there was this one word which was 231 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:40.360 consistent through everything you said. Competitive. You are competitive. I 232 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.279 can think of competition and being competitive in a variety 233 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.799 of ways. But I wonder is there, or if so, 234 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:52.600 how much trash talking goes on between drivers, either before, during, 235 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.600 or after a Monster Jam. 236 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.200 Oh. You know the guys they're always messing with me 237 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.240 and giving me a hard time. They were like my brothers, 238 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.519 you know, so you know, they they know whenever it's 239 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.159 time to give me constructive criticism, and they know whenever 240 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.240 they can just mess with me about something like of 241 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.960 course it's part of it, but they love to give 242 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.039 me a hard time about it, you know, just being 243 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.720 able to go out there and actually maintain my Monster 244 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.440 damn truck respectfully for my crew guy and all of 245 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.840 the mechanics. But sometimes it's inevitable, you know, Breakage is 246 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:25.960 gonna occur, got to kind of get over it. 247 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.879 How much can you prepare for a failure of a 248 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.840 monster truck? I mean, you know what's going to happen 249 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.840 on some level, but how much preparation goes into you know, 250 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.080 do you have an extra axle, do you have two 251 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.000 extra tires? Give me some sense of how can you 252 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.919 best prepare from a mechanic standpoint. 253 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.399 Well, to be honest, all of our haulers that we 254 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.840 have that actually transport our monster Damn trucks, they contain 255 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:57.919 extra shocks, they can train, extra housings, transmissions, motors, so 256 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.600 anything you think of, we have in these trade ready 257 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.360 to go for at least two trucks. So you have 258 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.440 these trailers, each truck, each trailer has two trucks that they're. 259 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.639 Transporting back and forth. 260 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.840 And with those trailers is all of your equipment, all 261 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.720 your technicians, and typically on one team you'll have your 262 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.440 crew chief and then you'll have your third guy, and 263 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.960 together as a team they may and maintain your trucks 264 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.320 and keep us going at all times. 265 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.639 And honestly, in. 266 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.919 The event it's pretty spectacular, it could be any one 267 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.240 of the monster dam trucks go down and you have 268 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.360 every mechanic from each truck or technicians from each other 269 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.600 truck just out there thrashing and working on these trucks. 270 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.679 They can change the transmission out in fifteen minutes, you know. 271 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.600 They Yes, they are absolutely amazing. And then you have 272 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:44.799 your thirds that might go out, so that's taking the 273 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.919 whole rear off and putting everything back on it all together. 274 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.879 And they can do that in a matter of time. 275 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.240 And we really do all of this just to get 276 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.039 our trucks back out there, and that is what the 277 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.080 goal is, to have every one of them trucks out 278 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.200 on the floor ready to compete, and you know, whatever 279 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.399 way we can. And so they're pretty amazing at their job. 280 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.320 You know, we have uoh technicians that have been able 281 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.679 to have the opportunity to go to school there and 282 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.399 then come on to Monster Jam and be technicians as well, 283 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.440 and I think that's been a great program for them. 284 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.200 We've had drivers come out of that school even, you know, 285 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.159 and so all the drivers we come from all different 286 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.000 walks of life. So to see him be able to 287 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.919 come from a wrenching position or technician position where they're 288 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.519 actually working all the trucks. They know the mechanics of 289 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.000 the truck. And then now you're a driver. I think 290 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.759 that's the ultimate secret, right there, is to just know 291 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.399 your monster dam truck so well. And you know, as 292 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.279 a driver, I try to do that myself. When I 293 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:40.440 have any mechanical failure, I have damage. My crew chief 294 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.279 he let me know. Even though half the time he 295 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.840 knows that probably don't understand what he's saying, he's still 296 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.039 it's respectful and still tells me each and everything that 297 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.399 is wrong with my truck. And through over the years, 298 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.879 just because he's been telling me, I've learned a lot 299 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.440 through that. 300 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.480 It's a big machine, as we say, and that's an 301 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.000 understatement that some twelve thousand pounds. I wonder because I 302 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.240 honestly don't know. There are a lot of g forces 303 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.039 probably involved. It's a heavy piece of machinery. How do 304 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.879 you personally train to keep you in a degree of 305 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.240 shape to handle one of these machines. 306 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.320 Well, I definitely think being physically fit is beneficial, especially 307 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.080 when you roll these things over and you're in a 308 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.840 turtle position upside down. Being able to try to breathe 309 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.240 is really tricky. But you know, I started my career 310 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.639 ten years ago where we actually had the Triple Threat 311 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.879 Monster Jam series where we race the ATV, side by 312 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.840 sides and the trucks all in one event. And we 313 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.440 had seven different competitions within two hours, and so we're 314 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.720 running between each of these vehicles and also do a motocross. 315 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.840 So that's kind of where I got my star in 316 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.240 my career. Monster Jam is just having the motocross background 317 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.519 and coming in and being athletically inclined to perform on 318 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.279 the Triple Threat series. And you know, it was about 319 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.720 seven years in and I got promoted to stadiums. So 320 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.320 it was pretty cool. Whenever I got promoted to the stadiums. 321 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:57.559 You know, all I had to worry about was the 322 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.960 Monster dam truck, not the side by that's the ATV. 323 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.480 So you know, I still run everywhere I go. I'm running. 324 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.120 They're like, Kayla, why are you running? You know this 325 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.320 way I learned how to do this. I at one 326 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:10.679 speed and I just run everywhere. 327 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.440 I have thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with you, but I 328 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.720 know you got to go. You got more training to do. 329 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.200 But we also have to give away some event tickets 330 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.360 and pit passes.

And a common theme and 360 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.079 a recommendation. Remember how earlier in the show I was saying, Hey, 361 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.359 you know what, maybe you shouldn't try to get gas 362 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.240 at night. You should always be aware of your surroundings. 363 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.119 That also applies to going in the ocean. No, I'm 364 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.920 not talking about getting gas while you're in the ocean. 365 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.839 I'm saying don't go in the ocean because someone's always 366 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.119 watching and it's. 367 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.680 Usually looking at you as food. 368 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:28.400 Two Americans have been injured in a shark attack while 369 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:32.640 swimming in Bemini Bay, that's the Bahamas. According to police, 370 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.599 two Americans were injured, one seriously, in this shark attack. 371 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.160 Initial reports indicate that the victims, both USA residents, sustained 372 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.359 injuries while swimming in the waters at Bamini Bay. Both 373 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.640 women sustain injuries to their lower bodies, with one of 374 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.839 the victims injured seriously. In fact, that person will require 375 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.519 a third surgery to repair the damage to her leg. 376 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.559 I can say confidently the last time I've been or 377 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.960 I was in the ocean. It was on a cruise 378 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.200 to the Caribbean and I was in Megan's Bay. I 379 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.519 think it's like US Virgin Islands. I was in the 380 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.839 water for like three hours, and I was uncomfortable the 381 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.759 whole time. Water just came up to my waist. It 382 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.519 was the bluest water. Everywhere you could see the bottom, 383 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.640 You could see everything which is going on around you. 384 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:28.559 But I never quite felt comfortable. 385 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:31.079 And I think this was maybe twenty seventeen, and I 386 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:35.960 have not stepped my ass in the ocean since this 387 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.839 is twenty twenty five. I may not ever go back 388 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.200 in the ocean because I know that's not my house. 389 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.160 I'm just basically on the menu. I'm just advertising. You 390 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.799 know what I don't understand about this story is is 391 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:54.920 it goes on to say the incident remains under investigation. 392 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.400 What is there to investigate for? What I investigate? 393 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.000 Are they are they trying to see if they were 394 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:01.599 was some sort of precipitating event? 395 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.039 Was there some sort of argument? 396 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.319 Was there some sort of disagreement, whether you know, was 397 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.359 a look someone called a name. 398 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:09.720 What is there to discuss? 399 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:13.680 Well to that point, in twenty twenty three, there were 400 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.880 sixty nine unprovoked shark bites. So maybe they're trying to 401 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.519
