Hey everyone, it's Wes.

If you typically skip the intro,

I wanna ask that you don't skip this one.

I wanted to do the intro for this episode

because sometimes when we record,

I wake up the next day and I think,

man, I wish I would have said a little bit more about

just how wonderful these animals are

and how we don't really need to be afraid of them.

This episode is one where I do feel like

maybe I didn't say that quite enough in the episode.

I recently had been watching a lot of videos

taken in Southern California that show

surfers going out in their drone videos

and they're surfing and there's all these juvenile

and sometimes even adult gray white sharks nearby.

And they sometimes swim right under the surfers

or the paddleboarders or the swimmers

and this happens every single day on these beaches

and these drone operators are out there.

Every single day seeing these interactions

or non-interactions and they're non-violent interactions.
