  Speaker 2: I guess he has some opinions as well. Hear, what
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: do you think of a toxic masculinity? That's right, we
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: have a whole joke. We have a whole bit show
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: on the show. We have a whole bit where he

• 2:27
  Speaker 2: very well acquainted with a microphone.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Well, howdy everybody, how about you say hi Buddy, Hi, Buddy, Hi, everybody.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: My name is Buddy Robinson. I have been on this
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Sea World team since the opening. My god, why don't
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: you people say I'm a bit of a playboy, but
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I think of it more as i'm hitting play on boy.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: That was a good show. Can I get a high
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: five from my friend? And there we go?

• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you guys, I'm so excited to talk about these new
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: slate of shows. I've taken kind of a backseat creatively
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and just sat back and enjoy the ride. So I
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: am so excited to get back out there and get
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: down to talk of those darn fish. Why don't you, hey, y'all?
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Can I get a hey, y'all? Hey, y'all, y'all, where'd

  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Go up?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I get to wait for people to see this show.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: This is freaking awesome. Hey, guys, what's up?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I'm Sandy Magnesium, but we call me Geronimo here.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: We don't start Sandy.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: My nickname is Geramimo for sure, and I'm one of
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: our main treaders here that does stunts with our fishes
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: and whales.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Today. Where did that fish go?
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Ah?
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: I was so excited to be here today, you guys,
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: love you all.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Sandy, of course is in charge of our Fish Defying
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Gravity show, where we have all sorts of animals coming
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: from all sorts of different types of directions, and it's.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Really fun and it's really exciting. They can't wait to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: talk about the rigging specifically for that show.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: It's insane because she has figured out Geronimo here is
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: figure out a specific way to actually train fish to jump.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: It's kind of the first for us, and we're excited
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: to get to it in our new slate. But fish
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: usually don't jump, as usually we use the mammalian species.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: They are short enough. She has somehow figured out to
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: make fish go up.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: It's one sardines, cand frigg and jump. Let me tell you,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: sardine jump like that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: That's right, buddy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: She gets about a thousand sardines to jump at once.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: It is awe it's awe inspiring, it's awesome.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: He can I say fearful? I am fearful.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Oh guys, what do you say when all those thousands
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: and thousands of sardines go up?
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: What we say? We say up?
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Tell us what we say? I can't quite remember.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: We're still in the first draft of the call and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Responses for Sandy's show. So we're gonna make you be
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: working chopping that a little bit here.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Sandy was always better at training the fish more than
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: trading the humans.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: One can say, I'm basically thrown off the deep end
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: er runaway.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: So that's what she says, not what we say. We'll
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: be going over all of this stuff soon, but before
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: we go over that, I would love to introduce myself.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: My name is John Cross. You guys can call me
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Cross for short, and I am the lead trainer of
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the dolphins here at Sea World. I kind of am
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: in the water and I am doing the tricks and
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: flips with all the dolphins for our stunt shows and
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: for our fun shows. So everybody say Hi Cross Hi.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: And as in tradition, just like we brought the giant
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: elephant's seal, I have brought one dolphin here to say hi.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Can you say Hi? Miriam? So high pitched we could
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: barely hear her. That is Miriam the Dolphin, our oldest dolphin.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: She is eighty four and she is a wonderful, wonderful dolphin.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Cannot wait for you guys to get to know her soon.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Forgot I forgot to make my sardines, say Geronimo, Hey, sardines,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: what's my name?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Awesome exactly, rely haunting. I gotta say, you so want
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: to hear it on a subliminal level. It comes from below.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, that was the noise of a thousand sargines jumping
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: out of the water at once, and zoom.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Sort of muted it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, zoom for me put it underwater and it's fun.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: So we're having a lot of fun at SeaWorld, c Diego.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: We're having a really good time and really exciting for
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you guys to come out and see our brand new shows.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe we should go around and talk about how we
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: got involved.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It's such a wonderful, transparent, honest organization that is truly
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a great place to be involved.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: SeaWorld is about family, it's about values, it's about fun,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: and those are the three things. But it's also about education,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: and what we want to educate you on is how
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: to be a moral person in the world.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, correct, you running all And that's why we're so
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: excited that this next sleight of shows is all centered
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: around morality tales. There is a lesson that you learn
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: at the end of each one, no matter what it is.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: And I'm very excited because I think we could all
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: use some help telling right from wrong.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: We gotta say I can say on behalf of this team, myself,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Geronimo Cross and Melody Saint Harmony. We've been ushered by
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the old guard Buddy Robinson, who is a legend, a
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: legend in the SeaWorld space, and we are all coming
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: together as a new creative team to bring in the future.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Oh stop, well stop. I guess I could talk about
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: answer that question, why don't it? I about how how
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I got into this thing. Well, it was the sixties
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: and SeaWorld was a little different. Back then. It was
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit swinging, it's a little bit rocking, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: there were not quite so many rules in place about
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: who you could and couldn't date. I know this time
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: they say, hey, co workers, try not to date each other,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: especially not in front of the fish. It spooks him.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: But back then it was the sixties and anything went,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: and it did. I got into this because I followed
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: a young lady named Sarah Fina in here. She was
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: a dolphin tray and I didn't have a place to
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: be during there, so I would follow her to work
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: and well with invitation, of course, and I thought and
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: she was hanging out with these dolphins, and I thought,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: you know what, that sounds like a pretty sweet gig.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: And I charmed those dolphins. They took to me right away.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: They were obsessed with me. I couldn't keep them away.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: One of the scientists was saying it was something to
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: do with the relaxing nature of my voice. The dolphins
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: can't get enough of me. And so I was a
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: natural fit. And Sarafina and I broke up. She moved
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: to Wisconsin, but I stuck around right here in sunny
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: San Diego.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: She does the lake shows right up in one of
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: the big lakes.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, up in Tahoe. She's doing lake shows with some bass.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: They're trying to get that off the ground.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she's doing They're too dirty for me.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Lake Universe, right, I believe they're called Lake Universe. They
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: get a lot of emails from them and reach outs
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: on LinkedIn for Lake Universe, not SeaWorld, not.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Us though they don't have the large amelia we are
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: interested in.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: So we are trying to poach, but it's not gonna work.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Morole here is too good.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: You're trying to know that we are contracted out.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: That's correct, And they're trying to say that sturgeon can
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: do backflips, and I don't think that's true, and I'm
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: certainly not going to be the one to fix that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I guess I can tell you guys my story Melody
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: sat Harmony. I started, of course, in a Christian university.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I was going to be a youth pastor, and I
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: was really excited. Young life has been really important to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: me and my energy is. When I was twelve years old,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I was told you really should run some sort of
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: youth pastor program. You should be young life. I was
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: told that buy youth pastor, and I said, that's really interesting.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I just kind of always had that energy. And I
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: would do lock ins with my friends just for fun,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you know, instead of instead of just sleepovers. We would
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: do lock ins and I would bring my friends and
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: my parents would lock us in the house and they
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: leave for the weekend. They go to Vegas or wherever.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: We lived in Reno, so it was close for them
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to travel, and we would spend the whole weekend and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: we'd make games. We'd put on little fake mustashes and
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: pretend to be reporters and stuff like that. We did
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of really fun games, and I quickly found
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: out that after my youth pastor program at my college,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I was unable to be a youth pastor because I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: didn't like God anymore. I had an experience and it
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: changed for me. But I have the energy, and I realized, Wow,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: where can I take this energy. It's with the sea
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: lions at fixing things with the sea lions at SeaWorld.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: And I've realized that sea lions and elephant seals and
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: seals are a really great environment to talk about yourself
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and to get things out because they're so supportive, just.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Like Edgar here, Edgar's heard all of the worst things
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that I've ever experienced. Er, that's right, Edgar, don't tell
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: them everything.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: You and your bond with Edgar is so transparent, even
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: off off screen and off the stage. You guys have
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: such a connection, and I really value that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Sandy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I really appreciate that, and I am really, really, really
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: grateful to be here with this crowd.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I think I think all of us are together.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Whether I hang out with you guys at a happy
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: hour or I see you guys at.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: The park, it just feels like a really wonderful experience.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: And can I give you a compliment melody? I would
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: longest emails emails I've ever seen. It could be that long.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I work really hard on them, and I'm really glad
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to know that you like those because and you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I always put something at the very end. If you
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: read this whole thing, please respond to the subject with
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it's going down, We're yelling Timber or some sort of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: other Kesha lyric or something fun, just so I know
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you've read them.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And I think it's fun that I do that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's fun.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Thanks buddy.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: It definitely doesn't feel like we're being held hostage in
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: any way. It's definitely fun thing. It's not a threat.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: No one has held hostage with love. That's not hostage.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: That's being presented with a positive experience.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely. I guess i'll go. So. My name is
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: John Cross. I kind of fell into this. I was
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: the child actor in Free Willie and I loved the
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: whale so much. After a couple of years in Hollywood
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: that I'd rather not get into I found myself at
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: a sea World, going I should get into this. This
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: was my first love, so now full circle moment. I
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: work at SeaWorld with a lot of the dolphins sometimes
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: the whales, and make things happen in a fun and
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: festive way. I love people, I love my animals, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I love the fun that SeaWorld brings. The messages the
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: SeaWorld puts out and the possibilities are endless, you know.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I also wanted to mention John. It was incredible that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: you were the boy and free Willie. That was so
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: inspiring for me constantly watching that when I was growing up.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I knew every single line, and more than that, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: could recite the moment where the whale went over your
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: head almost almost verbatim. You know, I know every single
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: thing would happened, and.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I know Keiko was the name of the whale and Willie.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Did you guys keep in touch?
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: No, so act. Actually, what happened there was accidentally we
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: did free that whale that one shot. We got a
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: one shot. The whale cleared the situation and then left,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: and I was heartbroken. I was absolutely heartbroken. It was
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: one of my best friends at the time. Growing up
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: in Hollywood as a child actor, you don't actually make
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: a ton of friends, so the whale ended up being
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: one of the closest friends I had and then he
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: left me, and things kind of just smiled from there,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: which I will not I would love to ignore, I
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: would love to not get into. So that is actually
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: how I ended up at Sea World. A little bit
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: of me wants to keep these things a little bit
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: more inside. Let accidents like Free Willy happen again.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Absolutely incredible inspiration, mister Cross. I'm so excited to be
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: around you guys. I'm the young and I joined a
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: couple of years after Melody and John. I have been
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: so so blessed to join this beautiful team of artists
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: and athletes.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: I grew up in central athletes.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, someone finally called I'm telling you what. That's
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: the first time I've been called an athlete.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: Oh buddy, you are too modest.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Speaking of athletes, I was a swimmer and a diver
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: in high school and went to college for diving competitive diving.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Didn't quite make it there, but found my way to
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: the beautiful Sea World.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: And started working with the fish and working with the
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: dolphins and working with everybody there. I'm less animal driven,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: more athletics driven. But we're gonna find a way to
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: handle that and climb.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Up up, you know, it's so nice to hear that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: you're from Wyoming. That explains where you using Geronimo so
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: casually that's great to know.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Great, Yeah, but it's just been so exciting. I think
• 16:11

  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're really the Sea World fan. They talk about it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: They call it the Sea World family, which I think
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: is just so fun and unique, so fun.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: They actually bring you in when you when you become
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: part of the SeaWorld family, they assign you kind of
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: like the sorting hat. I'm a big fan of Harry

  Speaker 2: Potter currently and politically as well.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I well like that that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Uh, they actually bring you in and it's kind of
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: like the sorting hat, like a littlely Harry Potter. They
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: tell you what type of person in the family you are.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: So I came in and I was a daughter slash niece,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and I'm so happy to be that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: For everybody here.

• 17:05
  Speaker 5: hat would sort you into you're working with dolphins, you're
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: working with the house. No, the sortie hat kind of
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: chooses how you are in this family, not the case.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so exciting when this sorting hat decided
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: that I am a third removed cousin.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I thought that was a surprise, but it made a
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: lot of sense when when she started clicking with the family.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got his uncle every single time.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And you tried a bunch of doper and.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Raise my blood pressure sometimes to throw off the scent
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: of the hat, but it kept smelling uncle, no matter
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: what the hell I did.

• 18:12
  Speaker 3: to be the mommy of the kid that'll call me daddy.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, one more time, just for the seal, just for Edgar.

  Speaker 3: Okay, ed girl, are you listening? Nobody wants to be
• 18:24

  Speaker 4: It felt like Edgar spoke on top of you. And
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: just for cleanliness, this is the podcast.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Can we get Yeah?

• 18:46
  Speaker 5: And for reference, I always get older removed half brother.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Let's move on to the shows that we're doing on
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: our slate this year. We are so excited. It is
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: like we said, it's all based on morality. So we
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: have some of the hottest shows and I'm so excited.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: One of my favorite shows coming out is an Eye
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: for an Eye makes the whole World Fish, and.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: That one is so cute.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: It is a beautiful, beautiful show start to finish.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: That's such a great lesson for the kiddos.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: It's sun.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: We talked about it, it's morality. It's beautiful.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: We get some big bass and some small tuna and
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: put them in sort of an arena to teach the
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: kids that war is bad.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Every one of our stages you can kind of describe
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: as sort of an arena.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And we put them in bumper balls, which are those
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: things where you can get inside them, and their boom balls.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And because we don't have the tuna or the best
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to get hurt, no a little bit, and we push
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: them towards each other bumper.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Cars, water filled bumper balls with about two hundred fish each.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: They are destined to not get hurt. The kids love it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Some people have said our arenas kind of look like
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Hunger Game sets, and they are kind of Hunger Game sets.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: But say we were first, Yeah, we got that.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Oh we're competing. We're competing with all these new fangled
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: movies right now. We are trying to win the war
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: of attention against Marvel movies, against TikTok, against YouTube videos.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: We have to keep the kids attention and sometimes you
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: can only do that with biblical fire and flame.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And it is well known actually, and you can look
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: this up.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: It's on the Wikipedia. Suzanne Collins, who wrote The Hunger Games,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: actually was We used to call her a sea rat
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: and she used to come.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: All the time. She used to come all the time
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to the.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Sea World in San Diego, and she used to sit
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: on the stands, and she used to write during all
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the Orcan encounters, she would write notes about the layouts,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: and we were actually told by the higher ups, we
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: know that that woman is trying to steal our ideas.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: So if you can push the orcas to extend the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: splash zone so that we can get the notebooks wet
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: so that you can't take the ideas home, that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Would be great.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: That took weeks, two weeks to figure out.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: There was one time where they asked me to dive
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: quite literally to the edge of the pool in the
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: arena so I can create a big enough splash.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: And you better believe it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I yelled, Geronimo, you certainly did.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: We w that moleskin to completion.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: We did, and we actually were trying to get you.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Obviously, we're trying to get you, Sandy, to use the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: orcs to get the splash, but we love that you
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: tried to get the splash as well.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I thought it was awesome.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: So so we have a lot of really fun shows.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I'm obviously I'm doing working hard with the sea lions
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: and working hard with the elephant seals, and it is
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: been so fun. I get to wear these big, funny overalls,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and of course they come in and they throw some
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: stuff around. We actually we're fixing a house, and the
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: moral is a house is not a home unless it's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: with people you love. So we really tried to build
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the relationship that we make things. We screwed things up.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe sometimes an otter will knock over a can that'll
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: send a two by four flying through the air. But
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, if you're with the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: people you love and of course your pure of heart,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: then it doesn't matter where you live. And so it's
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: really nice.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: I mean these shows also, you guys need to understand
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: there's a little bit of through because they aren't without
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: their hiccups. I mean talking about messes up. I heard
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: your elephants. You'll just threw a hammer at your head
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: the last show.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, that was Dotty Dotty threw a hammer
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: at my head.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: Going viral, right.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: It's going viral.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going viral all over the internet right now.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It's really crazy and I'd never had something go viral before.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: And I'm getting dms all over the place, and it's
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: very interesting. It's so hard to respond to all of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: them and send so many they're all astome for pictures
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: and that I'm sending so many pictures.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I'm so tired.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: But I yeah, So the dotty threw a hammer at
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: my head and it of course hit me in the
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: head and I fell into the water, and the otter
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: then knocked over a tarp and that wrapped me up
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and I kind of ended up.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Water boding myself a little bit. And that was a
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: little difficult, and it was okay. At the end of
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the day. We had a conversation and I talked to them.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I talked to the animals, and I sent them an email,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: of course, and I said, we can't really do this again, guys,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: this isn't the teamwork.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: So so we're figuring it out.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And Edgar, I think I got through to you, right, Edgar,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: you kind of understand we can't do that again.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: I zoom.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Underwater, but you know, well, we won't hear that because
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: you're recorded locally.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: But what I will tell you.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: What I will tell you is that when Edgar makes
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that noise, it does deeply unsettled me, and I know
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: that's something something.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Malicious is involved in that. But we're going to talk
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: about that. Off off.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Accidentally waterboarding myself as well, and it's a part of
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: our Newsleigh where I have all the fishes.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: We do the five love language and the five attachment styles. Yeah,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: we're trying to.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Teach you about morality, and this is actually a good
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: time to talk about this that we're unveiling. They actually
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: gave us the ability to unveil the fifth attachment style.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: From what I knew, there were only four. It's fish,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it's fish, it's fish. You have anxious avoidance.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: It's actually two because you have anxious fish and secure fish.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: There's six.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so now there's anxious, there's avoidant, there's secure, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: there's anxious avoidant.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: And now it's anxious fish and secure fish.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but not avoidant fish. A fish don't do that.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Fish. Fish inherently are avoidant, so but they are not
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: purposely avoidant.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: You know, we're doing that part of It's a beautiful
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: show and it's all based within Grene Brown's Atlas of
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: the World.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: That is the song that is playing. It's a song,
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: it is her doing her spoken word reading her book Atlas.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Of the World, and that it's actually incredible collab.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Brenne Brown and Fred again got together for this Sea
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: World exclusive.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: And believe it or not. It's a night show.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: It Brene Brown, ex fread again ex Fish and it
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: is unbelievable. At night. We paint each fish with a
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: beautiful glow in the dark color, so so these fish
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: pop in. They are not naturally by illuminescent, but for
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: this show, they are.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: No toxic paint.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Man, I'll never get how you get fish to stick
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: to a paint. I can't believe that, buddy.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Say that again.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I'll never get how you get fish to stick to
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: a paint. I'll never get it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Well, buddy, Rather, we're getting paint sticking to fish, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: that's an interesting thing.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: It's a little easier my mind even more.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: And the best part of the whole thing is that
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: the last bit of our show, the five attachment styles
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: and the five level languages, the show ends and it
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: brings us straight into the safe for fish fireworks.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: And it is all about love yourself and love others.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, so we are imploding fireworks underwater that are completely
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: safe for fish.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: And it mirrors the sky, so when you're walking to
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: your car in the parking lot, you can see how
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: much you should love yourself so you can love others.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Hmm. It's beautiful. It's a wonderful show, and it teaches
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: you all about the five love languages and connection styles.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: We are so proud of it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: We really, really really want you guys to come back
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: to Sea World and have a good.

  Speaker 4: we'll give you a down payment on a home.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yes, we'll give you a full down payment.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I don't really get the corporate strategy on that, but hey,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: not my clown, not circus.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: All I can say is you gotta come check out
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Me and the Dolphins. Me and the Dolphins. We're going
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: at two three twenty and five and we are doing
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: a Faustian bargain themed show where so we have three
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: dolphin siblings. One is offered unlimited money one is offered
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: eternal life and the other is offered nothing at all
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: except the chance to be a good person. And let's
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: just say, we'll see how things turn out for Dolphins
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: number one and two. But we try and keep it ling,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: We try and keep it fun, We try and get
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of comedy in there.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: And which Buddies show at two and five.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: One thing you have to know too is that the
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: audience is really important because the audience gets to decide
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: which dolphin gets the devil's wish. So you have to vote,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: and we use our audience interaction and you're you're kind
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: of a character.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: You are a character. You're kind of playing the devil
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: in this thing, which is super fun and so unique.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: You get fun for the kiddos. It's really fun for
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: the kid.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Poses the question what if you were the devil and
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: what if you had the power to cause pain or
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: inflict it.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, we have gotten some complaints about, yes, this
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: maybe is too true of a metaphor people showing up
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: to see world asking for the dolphins to do things
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: specifically acting like the devil is too on the nose.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: But to that, I say, you have yet to see
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: the show. You have yet to be a part of
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: the fun.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And you gotta meet these dolphins, man, they're a lot
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: of fun.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: You can't and you can't be too on the nose
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: of the dolphins because their noses are very big. So
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: what's on the nose for us is barely on the
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: nose for dolphins.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Truly a whole fing.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I'm so DRUEA melody isn't an interesting thing.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: To think about.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: And we this slate that we are approaching, really we've
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: touched it before, but we are trying to move past
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: and learn from our mistakes in the past. That is
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: why we have the new Shamoo show, Shamou Still Learning.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: It is a wonderful.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Show, an apology tour.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: It's an apology tour for Shamoo and we're we're.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Because it was Shamoo's fault.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: She's what we do.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: This is the Yeah, the show is Shamoo taking a
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: stand in publicly apologizing. Finally.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Well, and here's what we.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Do with Shamoo gets the Shamo gets the floor and
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: then we listen. So the animal trainers we all get on. Uh,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: we sit down, we kneel and we listen and all
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: that's all we're doing. Is we're listening show.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: By the way, we're all in this.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're all absolutely incredible. Is that so we can
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: feel what it's like to be in the fish's shoes.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: We are in full fish gear. We feel the weight
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: of the water and the fish flippers by putting on
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: heavy prosthetics.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: And just to show how sorry we are, you guys
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: get to splash us. So we leave buckets of water
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: under the seat and you get to throw water.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: At us, water and sardines. You guys gotta whip us
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: with these things. And I'll let you guys know with
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: the test audience. Some kids are into baseball.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: And am Brahmavic performance are where she lines up a
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: bunch of things and lets you do things to her.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: So we've taken a lot of inspiration from her.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And the trainers are present.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, And though the show has not been open for
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: very long, the reactions and the responses we are seeing
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: are truly healing and cathartic. It's it's absolutely incredible that
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: we are healing past generations of white of what might
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: not have been a good a good company. And I
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: and I think all four of us are sitting down.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: We're doing press finally, they've never let us do press.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: And I think it's finally because we are an open
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: door company, right we are we and we're having these
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: conversations and we're talking about these difficult topics because we
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: are not scared.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: And the conversation usually goes, are you gonna free the
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: big mammals? And we say no, and that is the
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: end of the conversation.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: Say shut.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: And what I would say me too, is I love,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: as an employee who's only really been here five years,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: being the face of the punishment. I think it's really
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: nice and I really like diving in pun intended head
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: on into the shit storm that the bosses and the
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: executives that haven't changed are responsible for.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: It's really fun for me to be the face of it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: And I'm enjoying it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: And I know that they see it. They and I
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: know that they're cann reward me in the future.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: It reminds me of movies when the loved one takes
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: a bullet for his.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Other loved one, because exactly, we.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: Don't work for our bosses. We work for the fish,
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: like that is my boss.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, we definitely work for the fish.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I love those guys. Those are my boys right there,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: and I tell you they are some salty dogs. We
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: cannot let go of the bond that we have with
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: the fish. I tell you some of the things these
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: dolphins whisper to me. They are crass, they are rude,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: and they are not to be repeated on air.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, give us one. I know you have your drink
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: king dolphins that you guys, you play your craps and
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: you you drink. You drink your drinks with the.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Dolphins space, Yeah, buddy creates this space for the older
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: dolphins to feel really comfortable and saying whatever they want.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, those dolphins have been around for a while.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: They're dogs. They don't have a filter anymore. They just
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: want to hang with their boys. They need a guy's
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: space to be free to talk about it. You know,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: one dolphin told me the dirtiest joke the other day.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: He said, So, a wife walks into an ocean bar
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: and she says, I don't know how big my husband's noses.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: And she goes to a a rabbi dolphin, a priest dolphin,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: and a doctor dolphin, and then she asks her the question,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: and then and then the priest dolphin says, well, what
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: about have you been to the bedroom? And then the Dolphin?
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: And you know, this joke goes on forever, and I
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: can't remember the punchline.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Really dirty, but only for Dolphins.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say. It does feel like it's getting
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: a little lost in translation. You're translating it from Dolphin.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: It was so funny when the Dolphin told it. No,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: I remember the punchline. I just don't remember how we
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: got there. He says, well, honey, if you were looking
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: in the mirror, you know it's a whole. I don't remember.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: There's a crucial middle part that I'm missing. But when
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: the Dolphins you told it, it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Was so you kind of lost me. As a wife
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: goes into a bar, that's crazy. Didn't work. It is
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: a weird translation.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I think it could happen, John, Wives can go to
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: bars now.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: I know. It's just funny to talk to say that
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: they're a wife, not a woman or anything. It's just
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: a wife straight too.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Anyway, listen, these are my boys. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Well I just wanted to mention too. You know, we
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: talked a lot of the shows, but see world. But
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: also let me scre up the notes will also let
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: me want me to let you know that there are
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: seven roller coasters as well that are very fun, and
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: you should check out the roller coasters. I don't really
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I don't really like the roller coasters. None of us
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: here really like the roller coasters.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: We don't get it.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: We dunk on the roller coasters all the time. I
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: don't get it. That's not what you know. It doesn't
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: combined for me, doesn't create a show. You know, but
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: but but but but but but it's it's fine, you know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I have some complaints.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: The roller coasters rile up a lot of the animals.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: For one, Yes, I mean it is so tough to
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: do a show. And then a roller coaster comes about
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: twenty feet from your shelter and the animals get spooked
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: and immediately start, you know, acting like wild animals, because
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: this is the thing. Even though they are in captivity
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: and raising captivity, they are still wild animals. You know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: these are not domesticated animals. So having the wave tycoons
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: sprint right by your head while you're dealing with a
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: giant whale or a couple of orcas, it's scary, it's traumatizing,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: and it can go south quickly.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel like they've made it. They've made
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: a decision, right, they kind of where they were choosing.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: They could either.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Side with us, with the animal trainers, and they could
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: side with the roller coaster enthusiasts. And let's just say
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: there was a roller coaster that was built, and because
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: it was built, we could no longer do the Manateee Opera.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: And I think that's very sad. I think I'm gonna
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: miss the man at the opera a lot. Those guys
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: were so really good, you know.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Part of the reason was the roller coaster. Part of
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: the reason was that they're an extremely endangered animal and
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: we had to return them to Florida. But yeah, most
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: but these manatees were so good at singing.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: I mean it was the Christmas show where we had
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: the Christmas.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Carols when they sang the Christmas version of which wish
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: you well. It was so good.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna miss the ones that learned how to
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: smoke cigarettes.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: But we should say what our new Christmas show is.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Octopuses OCTOPI making a movie. It is so fun.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: So it's really high concept.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: So high concept, and it's for Christmas and.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: You're probably wondering what makes it Christmas? Well, yeah, it's
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: a Christmas movie and the octopus is Santa mm hmm.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And we let them write it.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: To be honest, we let them write it and they're
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: gonna do their thing and they don't take notes very well,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna let them do it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: So the octopus that was predicting the World Cup, we
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: have a bunch of octopus in different cages and they
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: kind of choose greener Red to choose a word or
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: a noun or an idea, and through that we write
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: a script. Then we get them all dressed up in
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: there cute Christmas outfits. We're putting felt, we're putting cotton,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: We're putting a lot of clothing on these octopus and
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: we watch them make this movie absolutely incredible.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: I can't wait for you guys to see it now.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I got a question, and a lot of our job
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: involves performing, you know, talking to the audience. Have you,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: guys ever had something in a show go horribly wrong?
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Have you?
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: And how do you deal with that as a.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Profetie Buddy, we said we weren't gonna talk about this, Well.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: We don't have to get into anything no, Harry, I'm
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: just saying that sometimes people miss their cues. They missed
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: their lines, they missed their splash cues. I can't tell
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: you how many dolphins have missed the splash Q. And
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: you gotta recover. You gotta get your foot in there
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: so slyly and so stealthily that the audience doesn't notice
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: your kicking water out of them.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: And Johnny Cross must remember that this is a now
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: open door policy.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: So we say everything, We say everything.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: But I think Melody's freaking out right now. I can
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: see her gripping all sides of the table. So you
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: don't stop me if I'm going too far.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Now, this is totally fight jo whoh Okay, Sandy, go ahead,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: tell us a story, then tell us, tell us your experience.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I've never done anything wrong, okay, And I've never
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: ever had to reprimand a fish or reprimand anything.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: So that's why I'm.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Saying I'm not scared of the open door policy, because
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I'm just telling you that nothing has ever happened to me.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, what about that time that you gave the
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: wrong upcue and the fish ten thousand fish jumped into
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: the stands?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: How about that.
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: Do you want to talk about that or no?
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: I think you John Cross should address the time you
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: took a dolphin and asked it to give you a
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: ride home and you put a dolphin in your Toyota Corolla.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: I was drunk. I needed somebody to drive me. I
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: needed somebody to drive me. Okay, hey, I'll back you
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: on that.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: You gotta take a dolphin as a DD. They understand
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: the wheel, They understand the wheel. They'll never be able
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: to prove it, but I know they got it.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, fine, I'll talk about my experience. So Yes, one
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: time I had to take an honor to planned parenthood.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I won't go farther than that. It was one of
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the darkest days of both of our lives. It was
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: really hard, really hard, and I won't speak too much
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: on that, but things do go wrong.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: I want to say the treatment that I have been
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: given because I just had a couple of fish going
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: to the audience me my melody brought a literal honor
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: to a planned parenthood for an unexplainable reason.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: Is absolute batshit unfair?
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Now this opens up a different question I have, which
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: is are there animal specific planned parenthoods?
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: No, there are not, No, they're not not.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Somebody had to take a job that they weren't sure about.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: So that's we got a lot of stairs in the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: waiting room. People in the waiting room were already having
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: one of the worst dates of their lives. And then
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: they look at me and they're like, what are they
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: doing with this honor who's sobbing in my hands? And
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: then of course we went into the doctor and that
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: was a really really specific situation. Again, I won't get
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: into the details because it's not my story to tell,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: but yeah, this was a it was a human doctor.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: Have you seen the have you seen the dick Talk
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: melody that's.
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: Going v roll of a girl following you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: And into a planned parent and she goes, you, guys,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: I swear this person.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Is now because we were it was. It was me
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and Skippy the hotter.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: We were holding hands and I was the otter was
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: on on hind legs and we were holding hands walking
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: in I.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Think I actually did see this video. It was the
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: only thing that has ever stopped the anti abortion protesters
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: from being crazy. They all just stopped what.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: They were doing.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: They put down their signs and said, you know what,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: that's actually really weird, and I I don't know.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: This one. I think will allow whatever this is, We're
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: gonna let it happen.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: And I want to know, Melody. I'm just gonna ask you.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Did you ask one of John Cross's dolphins to drive
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: the car for both of you to go to play
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: in Para?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Those dolphins would not would not have understood
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: a single thing about what we were doing, and I
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: didn't want to have to deal with them.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: You are right about that. I would trust behind the wheel.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: I would not.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Trust them to handle a delicate emotional situation.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Are brass? They your dogs?
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: No, Honestly, we call the area where Buddy swims with
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: those old dolphins.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: We call that the locker room underwater, because we do.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, this is the locker room under the water,
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: and the dolphins have a word for it. They call
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: it the which translates to the boys house.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, and the locker room underwater instead of the boys house.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Region old slang for both parties.
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: The translation is nearly the same.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: God, I wish you guys could understand that joke. I
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: just remembered a different part of it. So the wife
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: says to the priest.
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: How do I know.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: How do I know that my husband's knows is this long?
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: And then the priest hands her a magnifying glass and says,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: take this to your husband and ask him to use it.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, but I can't remember how that connects
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: to the lad Thank god, you guys, this joke is
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: so funny. I swear to God. I swear to God,
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna remember it. I'm not telling it right. I'm
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: not doing a justice.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think you are well.
