Transcript
So hello there, don't be alarmed. We're just preparing your listening device for scuba radio. The world's first radio should have voted to diving.
We do this of course by filling the radio with water.
Don't worry, we're professionals. Thanks to me, you won't even get wet.
You see, I've crammed every appendicit by body into the cracks and crevices of your radio.
Ensuring your flight seal!
By the way, don't touch your odd off-nob. That's a very sensitive area.
Anyway, I should remind you we believe in the body system just like diving, so don't listen alone.
Call your body and tell them that scuba radio is about to begin!
We're gonna start a new life under the sea.
So am I gonna drown?
Of course not. Just stay calm and let the gentle currents relax your every muscle.
Under the sea! Under the sea!
Did you just get warmer?
There'll be no accusations, just ban legal stations under the sea!
Where the hell are the sharks?
And now, here's your dive guide for scuba radio, Greg the Dive Master.
And welcome to our two of the world's first radio show, devoted to diving,
otherwise known as the douche.
The douche.
CJ in the studio with me, aka Cock Johnson.
The douche.
You know, nobody came up to me and was asking about you, unfortunately.
Thank you, I'm very glad you're here.
Australia and Zealand.
But I did go out of my way too.
That does not surprise me.
No, I actually...
The lightest.
I told people about you, though.
I did, you got brought up, as well as the rest of the scuba radio, scuba squad.
You're talking smack.
I did talk.
Because, you know, I went on this trip, it took a break from the show for an entire month
as an alternative to subjecting myself to therapy.
So, I did talk about Barry, the bugger, and Jerry, the diver guy,
a bubble boy, vending two tanks, and little emphasis on Vinnie.
Because he might have, you know, might have pushed me a little too far in that regard.
So, but I am here to report, I'm back, and I'm better than ever.
I just needed a break.
What?
You're back.
Yeah, better than ever.
You are back.
Yeah.
I'm mentally back in the game.
You're back and better than Ezra.
Yeah.
But yeah, I shared a few stories about, you know, this is why I needed to take a break.
You know, there's this guy named Vinnie.
What'd you say about me?
Well, I mean, I kind of put you all on the same, you know, barrel.
Wow.
Sell us to our face.
No, no, I can't do that.
Well, you brought it up.
Then you guys wouldn't eat therapy.
And I don't want to subject you to.
No, I don't care.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah.
Well, let's, we'll save that for another day.
But I haven't lost it by now.
It ain't happening.
Well, okay.
You lost it a long time ago.
It's all about perspective, my friend.
Yes.
He was born, anyway.
Yeah.
So, you know, Jerry takes his frustrations out on gay bigfoot.
What are you two here?
And I don't know what Vinnie does.
Vinnie is a bike rider.
Yeah.
I think that's where he, isn't that how you decompress other than scuba diving, Vinnie?
Is you like to ride bike?
Every day I ride my six days a week.
I ride my bike to the public pool, some half mile and ride home.
Yeah.
And that's right.
I picture Pee Wee Herman with the bell.
Do you have a bell on your, on your bike?
Do you have a bell?
Of course I do.
Yeah.
Of course he does.
Yeah.
Why do I?
Because you know why?
People will walk right in front of you.
Yeah.
I like you, Doddy.
Like.
Yeah.
Well, he's a rebel Greg.
Yeah.
But see that, that dedication Vinnie has to his regiment keeps him insane.
Is what?
You know, I was over 200 pounds a couple years ago.
Yeah.
50 years.
What?
I'm doing really good.
Right.
And she.
You lost 200 pounds.
No.
I was over 200 a couple years ago.
Right.
And now I'm down to 150.
Look at him.
Sometimes I'm down to 145.
I'll tell you what a stiff win will blow him away.
Look at him.
Look at him.
He's, he's skin and bones.
And I think that's a compliment.
Well, I lost a lot of weight.
Yeah.
He's good.
I went from 38 pounds to 30, 31s.
Yeah.
But, you know, that being that dedicated keeps him healthy and, you know, and, and, you know,
some people need different activities, whether it's scuba diving or what to keep him, keep
him.
And, you know, keep it well.
And Vinnie's case.
I might keep him insane.
But for, you know, for others, you know, that's what you need to stay sane, you know what
I mean?
And it works for Vinnie.
But keep going.
No.
I mean, it works for you, right Vinnie.
What it does is it, I remember, it brings me back to when I was a 13 year old boy, right
in my bike all over the place.
Yeah.
I'd leave in the morning and become home at night just because I had to be back at dinner,
family dinner.
Right.
And I just, so when I get on my bike, it just makes me feel like I'm 13 again, right
in the round.
I got that freedom.
Ah!
Do you bad yourself, uh, riding your back and look back and there's like hundreds of people
behind you riding with you?
Well, not really.
But, you know, I'm like, force cup.
Well, I don't ride on the street.
I ride on a bike trail and yeah.
Come on, Jerry.
Don't make fun of this.
Wasn't that any jogging on the bike trail?
It might have been.
I don't know.
Yeah.
The jogging.
I think he was running across America on a bike.
Yeah.
Could have been.
Could have been.
But yeah, I actually, before I hopped over to Australia, I spent some time out there
in California, went to the Warner Brothers studio and saw where Pee Wee filmed his big
adventure.
Yeah.
You mean you didn't spend time with VD while you was out there?
No, God no.
I said, I was taking a break from all of you nut jobs, which I can maintain my sanity
in a whole world.
I mean, I don't like going around L.A., I, I, I, yeah, she, Vinnie, well, nothing to do
with me.
I don't see any too.
I haven't.
No.
Yeah.
There's too crowded.
Too many people.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
Which explains why he lives there.
Uh, you know.
It's just happened to be where I was born.
That's all.
Oh, that's it.
That's right.
I mean, I'd love to live in Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lickerdale.
Fort Lickerdale.
Fort Lickerdale.
I know.
Yeah.
I know.
I know.
Fort Lauderdale.
I'd love to, you know, there's lots of other places.
Yeah.
Stop and you.
Um, nothing.
Actually, you know, I, I think Jerry's looking for a roommate.
So you guys want to buddy up on land as well as, uh, underwater.
He doesn't live in Florida.
Yeah.
But still.
I mean, you know, Vinnie is, uh, I mean, he's always looking for ways to save money.
And he's not.
But I need.
I need.
I need somebody.
We'll pay them.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Hold.
Is Vinnie like, uh, he just said, no way.
What?
You would never consider it.
Wait.
What should get past 35?
You don't want to have roommates.
That's.
You have to have a roommate in those past 35.
Well, don't, don't look at it, Jerry, the diver guy as a roommate as much as a buddy on
land.
I mean, is it my health and nuggle, buddy?
Yeah.
No.
No, no, no.
No.
No.
I know what it is.
I don't want to, I don't want to put words in Vinnie's mouth, but you just don't want
to get between him and gay big foot.
Is that right, Vinnie?
No, no, no, no.
Okay.
That's.
I was trying to help.
I just don't like it.
I had roommates when I was younger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, and, and sometimes they can be a real PIA.
So PIA.
Okay.
Pain in the.
Ars.
Okay.
Okay.
You could say ars.
Okay.
I didn't know that.
Okay.
Well, you.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Yes.
But basically, you were repulsed by Jerry, the diver guy.
So there's no way in hell.
I said that.
You would ever spend any quality time with him if you had, if you didn't have to.
No.
I never said that.
I just said I don't want it.
I don't.
Is it?
You're saying you don't like his odor?
His body odor.
You know what I'm saying?
I like to be alone in my, in my domicile.
I don't need to share.
Yeah.
Oh, golly.
Casey, the tobacco nuts here and just joined in on a, a very awkward moment, but I don't
know.
What do you think?
A bit late.
You're a bit late.
Do you have an excuse?
Are Jerry and him becoming roommates?
Well, we're trying to, but, you know, Jerry doesn't, I mean, Vinny doesn't want to get in
between him and gay bigfoot.
Can you blame him?
Nah, it would be a, um, hard, no, some lines are not to be crossed.
Yes.
Understood.
You know, who's firing on this whole thing, you know, Barry just sits back and listens.
Well, I mean, what else can he do?
Well, I guess I learned, I learned to, uh, shut up, Barry.
Self-editing himself.
He's learning that job.
Bless him.
If we could just get him to learn how to think before he raps.
You know, there's some of the stuff I post is to get you guys a little riled up.
You ever think of that?
Yeah.
You know what he said, Greg?
He said that you gave him wood.
What?
Yeah.
Hi.
He doesn't even read the post.
Yeah.
No, I blocked you guys on.
I bought a piece of lumber the other day that came from New Zealand.
So I took the sticker, took a picture of it, uh, and posted it, that you bought me back
a piece of wood.
You bought me some wood.
All right.
Now Vinnie at least got it.
All right.
More coming up.
Stay close.
Thank you.

The world's first radio show devoted to diving.
Scuba radio.
Die, die, die.
Dead?
What are you doing in there?
I look these fish right in the eye, and they look back at me, and they see right through
me.
They know who I am, these fish.
Come on baby, and do the best.
Got no limits in it to you, right?
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
I am Greg the Dymaster, catching up with a scuba radio scuba squad after being a month
off in New Zealand and Australia.
Just having a big time.
I don't know what you guys did.
What would you do to pass your Saturday afternoons over the last few weeks, Eric Cockjuts?
Was productive.
Okay.
That's good.
That's what I would expect at you.
Not stuff done that I normally don't get done on the series.
Now there was a story I came back to that happened out of Fort Myers, and the headline was
Florida man claims he was kidnapped by dolphins and forced to build an underwater city.
God, tell us all this time.
Yeah.
Was that Barry, Jerry Casey, Bubble Boy, or Katie?
You're the one that's being called for a while, Greg.
I know.
So it couldn't be me.
I was in the country.
It could have been you.
You.
You weren't around here.
How do we know you were out of the country?
What are you talking about?
It says a Florida man in Fort Myers.
Yeah.
So.
So you say.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
What?
You guys want to see my.
I know you are really in Australia.
Just because.
Yeah.
I say you a picture with a bunch of mud covered all over me.
That could have come from anywhere.
You're an AI man.
Are you?
That's going to be when you crowd out the water.
Okay.
Look, I understand every Saturday afternoon is used to occupy time.
My concern was when I came back and I saw that story.
I was like, man, these guys were bored.
But this is ridiculous.
So one of you need to fess up and admit it was you.
Come on.
It was you.
Barry.
Nope.
It was Greg.
All right.
So.
All right.
Just to illustrate what the story is.
So they found this guy.
They say in Fort Myers, he was just in his baiting trunks and sunburned beyond belief.
And he gave the cops a story about how he had been a duck or kidnapped by dolphins.
And they forced him to build an underwater city.
There was like a head, you know, a head dolphin named Gerald or something.
If I had a mingle for every time that's happened to me.
Yeah.
Well, it is.
Yeah.
Were they Miami dolphins?
They're those writers.
There you go.
They never get any better.
I have.
I do have a legitimate question.
Okay.
KC tobacco nut.
Yes.
What material did he use?
Because if we can trace his receipts back to Loma lows or home depot, he might be done
the truth.
Well, no.
I think he just supposedly he made the designs in the sand.
He wrote all these very details.
He made it to the same guy that went through McDonald's trying to try to trade an alligator
for a big Mac.
I don't know.
I don't know of this story.
Wait, wait.
What is this?
Is this in Virginia only?
No.
There's not a Florida story.
Well, how do we look at Mac now?
Yeah.
What's going on with the big Mac?
You got of any two tanks intrigued.
So you guys need to factor out on the big Macs.
I guess.
No.
No, Vinnie.
It was an alligator for the big Macs.
The dolphins wanted a city.
Oh.
Yeah.
So the dolphins kidnapped this guy and forced him into service.
The draw on the sand.
Yeah.
Draw a blue prince of an underwater city.
They probably stereotyp.
They think all humans can build stuff evidently.
That's what this guy told the cops.
We popped up over the surface and we see buildings.
So we know they know how to build stuff.
Yeah.
Now this is a drug dealer.
Well, you know, that would explain.
I think that guy's got some really good stuff.
You know what?
It's a great story.
It's a great story.
It's probably not true.
Actually, I think it's not.
Oh.
How do you know?
The Lee County Sheriff came out and said they may have had something to do with this.
Like it was a joke.
It got.
It went viral.
The cops are joking around.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But what are you going to believe?
But you know what?
Don't let the truth.
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story because this is a good one.
I mean, if you're going to come up with an excuse of, you know, going on a bender for 48
hours.
You know what?
You know what?
You know what?
You know what it must have been.
What's that?
What's that?
I was abducted by aliens.
Well, that's the go to.
But this guy came took it to another level.
That was better because you know, you know, this guy's got to be married and his wife
is like, where have you been?
Oh, you're never going to believe it.
I was kidnapped by dolphins.
He's only.
And he's like, there's a problem with this story.
There is.
Yes.
What?
He was kidnapped by dolphins, but he drew all these plans in the sand high enough from
the water line.
They wouldn't get washed away.
Okay.
Well, what were the dolphins just standing there with threatening fans watching him?
I don't know.
They kidnapped him.
I mean, they could have made them do all kind of things that were probably not.
If I was more than a person, the dolphins are supposed to be pretty intelligent.
Yeah.
See?
He knows.
And horny.
That's true.
They have a reputation for getting, you know, slightly aroused.
All right.
Since you were on the southern hemisphere, that means you were below us.
Don't do it.
Stay on track.
Stay on track.
The blood flowing to your brain properly, because you would have been upside down.
Hey, this is a Florida story that you were closer to than I, my friend.
Yeah, but these are the stories you follow.
So this is what is forwarded to me.
Like, hey, did you?
You're, you're your cast of idiots have anything to do with this?
Oh, yeah.
That's what it's sent to me all the time.
And I was like, no, I don't think so, but then I thought, well, there's Barry and Jerry
and Casey and Vinnie.
That sounds like Vinnie.
Vinnie, Vinnie, no.
It's not me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, this does sound like it has some, like the most obvious choice all over it.
Right.
But he's in California and, you know, I mean, and he doesn't get sunburned.
He doesn't lay.
I have a tank to go.
Are you kidding me?
What if you were kidnapped by Dolphins?
Well, maybe that's true.
That's, okay, Casey, what's your question?
You went to Australia, New Zealand, all these places, did you, so much is getting the
water?
No, we've covered this.
You got the swimmer pool and a, and a mud pit.
Marra case, Casey, Casey logged in late, but, but you did say that you are going back.
Right.
In September, for a guy show, yeah, I think it's probably going to happen.
And that's when I'm going to go dive, yes.
Okay.
In the meantime, I jumped in, in the show right now that you are going to go dive in September
or in Australia.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Right.
And, and, and are you going to go on the record to say that you were kidnapped by Dolphins
and, uh, forced to make them another water city, Barry?
You want to come clean?
No.
No.
I didn't do that.
Yeah.
Barry's the most technologically advanced.
I mean, look at the background there.
Once this crew, that's not saying much, but I can whip up plans, but it doesn't mean
it's going to work.
Okay.
Well, wait, wait.
Well, hold on.
You mean you gave the Dolphins a bogus blueprint for their underwater city?
That's going to set back human dolphin relations.
Yeah.
What kind of human are you?
Jeez.
We want everybody to get along and then you hear stories like this.
Come on.
Once again.
Illustrator, Barry.
Why I needed a month off.
Do better.
More coming up.

Prepare to rig for dive!
Your surface interval is complete.
You are now clear to dive with Scuba Radio.
The world's first radio show devoted to diving.
Scuba Radio dive, dive, dive, dive.
Hi, I'm Mani, I'm your dive master lead in Agliquat, and you're here as Scuba Radio.
Yeah, wait, you're the lead dive master on the Agliquat, what are you?
Yes, I'm the lead dive master.
Okay, do it again, one more time.
You kidding?
No!
Okay, guys, I'm Mani, I'm your dive master lead in Agliquat, and you're here as Scuba Radio.
The world's first radio show devoted to diving.
What?
Okay, hi guys, I'm Mani, I'm a diving instructor in Agliquat, and you're listening to Scuba Radio.
The world's first radio show devoted to diving.
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
What can this look?
The world's first radio show devoted to diving, devoted to diving, devoted to diving.
For the Spanish speakers, the best radio station ever, the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
But thank you, Mani.
You know, I am Greg the dive master just back from Australia, New Zealand, and there was actually a story going on in Australia about the regulations they have on snorkelers, in particular on this story.
You know, when you go to a place like Australia, around Queensland, when they run all these boats and snorkel boats dive boats out to the Great Barrier Reef, we're talking about big numbers.
Now, when I was there, it was Chinese New Year.
And they were, they had a, I mean, there was a lot of folks from Asia in that part of the world.
And, you know, obviously they did not speak English.
And there was a story in the news in Australia about how they were coming down on the one particular snorkel operator that had an incident, I guess, a few months ago.
And they were going, the government was going after the operator and finding them.
I don't know what the outcome was.
But basically, you know, some snorkelers got hurt and the operator got blamed for not informing the people on the boat that going in the ocean could be dangerous or they could have incidents.
They didn't inform them.
A big mandarin, doesn't he?
Yeah, but they didn't inform them in their native language.
And it was the dive operator or the snorkel operator's fault.
And they were being penalized for that.
And I'm like, really?
No, it should be the other way around.
Yeah, I mean, that's why I say they deal with such high numbers.
Show them a picture.
Show them a picture.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe it's a sign.
Here's an idea.
You jump in the ocean.
Stuff can happen.
I mean, I don't think you have to say it in somebody's native language to get that across.
The coffee you get at the local drive-through restaurant is hot.
Don't burn yourself.
Okay.
Thank you.
Somebody go, somebody go kill his riders.
He's just killed.
No, he's just making an observation.
I see what Barry is saying.
I'm in sense.
That's in English.
Yeah, fortunately.
I mean, not common.
But here's the difference.
It's there.
It should be rare.
Here in the US, you can sue anybody for anything.
Now in Australia, what happens is that they are very restrictive.
And when something goes wrong, they go after these operators and set up new regulations.
They're very, very structured.
And it sounds like it sucks.
Well, it's, you know, a little overboard.
I mean, the fact that they went after the operator for that reason and then find them for not, you know, letting these folks know.
Okay.
In a language they understand.
And guess what?
You can't come on this boat then.
Right.
Because I can't speak to you.
Then they'll see you for discrimination.
Well, you have to.
That's the only way around.
You're not going to learn Chinese.
You know, you know, difficult Chinese is to speak.
Yeah.
Well, you know, first of all, you've got to get all that silverware.
You're part of a whole lot.
Yeah.
Number one, no white rice.
Okay.
Well, you know, I'll tell you years ago, I was, you know.
This can all be solved over egg rolls.
Well, maybe.
But when I was in Australia 18 years ago before this trip,
that was the one thing that did stand out.
I had a great experience diving the Great Barrier Reef.
And I loved every minute of it.
But I was like, when we went out on this dive boat,
and I mentioned this before in the show,
that there was one particular vessel we went on
and there literally were 300 snorkelers and divers on the same boat.
The boat was massive, but still that's a lot of people.
And I got on the boat and I'm thinking this is going to be a classic
Charlie Fock Strat situation.
This is not going to go well.
And we got out to the site and I was shocked how regimented they were.
They broke everybody up into small groups.
They had them on a strict timeline.
You had to follow every, you know, rule.
And there was a lot of them thrown out there.
And it was very much, it came straight down like,
we've got to tell you to do this and you have to do this.
This is government regulated situation.
And, you know, that's just the system that they work under in Australia.
And ironically, it worked out pretty good.
Sounds like it's time for a regime change.
Well, you know, I mean, when you're dealing with that many people,
that's what they've decided, the route they've decided to go.
That shocking coming from the country that gave us Olivia Newton John.
Well, there's that.
One of the all-time babes.
Yeah. So when you're not getting physical,
you might want to consider that.
I mean, it seemed a little heavy-handed when we were going through the orientation and all that.
They probably are legally mandated.
Yeah, they are.
It is. It's regulated.
What the hell is this, Russia?
And if you don't follow the rules or if something happens,
then they come after the operator for not telling the people in their native tongue
that they can understand that something could go wrong while they're in the water.
Now, that seems absurd, you know, maybe to us.
But that's kind of how they roll.
That's how they roll.
And it did work.
I mean, that system, when I went through it, I had a great experience.
I was shocked.
It was like, wow.
It's over, you know, heavy-handed.
It's just seemed at the time when we were getting ready to dive.
Once I did the dive and got out of the water, I said,
golly, I mean, I can't really knock it.
You know, you got to deal with that many people.
You got to keep them in line.
And that's what they say.
No, there was no cattle prods or anything like that.
It was just the threat of jail.
If you didn't follow the rules.
Straight to jail.
Yeah.
They didn't say it like that.
They say, good, I might.
Let me tell you something.
If you go outside the line just a bit,
we're going to feed you to the crocs.
And you know, that's where they were a month ago.
They were crocs while you were there.
Of course I saw a croc.
What do you think?
All we saw here was you standing in front of a cracking rock
and some sheet.
That's always people wearing crocs on their feet.
No.
No, not me.
That wasn't me.
I have no croc.
No, no, we saw here.
Oh.
That's how you were off gallivanting around the world.
There's a world traveler.
So you were there.
You were in Australia and New Zealand for a whole month
and you still couldn't get the accent down.
What do you mean?
That's what I just got from New Zealand.
Good eye, mate.
Yeah.
It was awesome.
Yeah.
They said just like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You sound like a kid from the Bronx.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't know what section of the Bronx you've been to.
Casey, the tobacco nut.
Bronx cheer.
But I think you took a wrong turn in Jersey.
Old Jersey or New Jersey?
Okay.
There we go.
There it is.
Yeah.
There's the joke writers.
I did get the text from Barry and said, hey, you're in the New Zealand.
What?
I didn't see it.
Did I say that?
I did.
Yeah.
I got that one already.
Yeah.
We all saw it.
Oh, New Zealand.
Well, think about it.
New York.
Old York.
Yeah.
New Jersey.
Yeah.
You see that.
Yeah.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
I'll send it again.
No.
No.
No.
Just send it again.
No, what?
No, what?
It's what the consensus has come across with the Scooby Radio Scooby Squad on that.
No, we'll have more coming up.
Despite our best intentions.
This is the worldwide Scooby Radio Network.
The Scooby Radio.
Prepare to rig for die!
Your surface interval is complete.
You are now clear to die with Scooby Radio.
The world's first radio show devoted to diving.
Die, die, die.
My name is Ziggy and I am freedom-loving travel tourist entertainer or tour guide.
Yes.
We are in Norway.
You are listening to Scooby Radio.
The world's first radio show devoted to diving.
Now, here is someone I consider a true Norwegian Viking.
The dive master.
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
Yes, world traveler I am.
Fresh from Australia, New Zealand.
Slightly jet lagged if you haven't figured that out already.
That seems like you're totally like you always are.
Really?
Yeah.
I thought I was a little off my game.
Where you always are.
Oh, that's it.
I don't notice anything different.
Did you guys?
No, I was pretty much the same.
I thought it was just regular game.
Okay.
Well, all right.
We'll take that as a win.
While I was away, by the way, there was some other news that kind of popped up on my radar.
I'm kind of, you know, I'm disappointed in Jerry the diver guy of all folks.
Why?
I didn't hear it from him.
And that was that gay bigfoot supposedly is planning to go on tour and take a crack at stand-up comedy.
Oh, no kidding.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know what gave him this idea.
But, you know, you have a sample of that.
No.
It's just not yet.
Not yet.
He's just getting ready.
This is the setup.
He said.
Oh, yeah.
That.
Oh, yeah.
He's working up some material.
And I guess he figured like, hey, these nutty folks that I've been interacting with on
Scoobar radio the last few months, maybe I could turn this into a new revenue stream.
And I just got word that he's working on a stand-up comedy routine.
It's the gay private job at Walt's Grotto.
And the reason I know about it, he has the gay bigfoot.
What are you doing here, tour?
Yeah.
He asked if Scoobar radio would potentially consider sponsoring the tour.
No, no, no.
There's no budget for it.
Oh, there's no budget.
But I said, hey, you could increase your time with Jerry the diver guy.
How about that?
So I've kind of pimped Jerry out to our advantage.
So we'll see how this goes.
But yeah, what does Jerry have to do?
Well, we don't want to know.
That's between those two.
Lovebirds.
So anyway, we got that to look forward to or avoid it all costs.
But I just kind of wanted to get that out there.
He might put him on a staff as a groomer.
Okay.
And moving on.
Another story.
You know, hammerhead sharks are falling from the skies.
No, not in another shark NATO.
Well, in another shark NATO?
No.
Well, actually, they are.
They're working on another shark NATO.
But this is in South Carolina.
A baby hammerhead shark fell from the skies and was reported on this week.
Some bird.
Some bird.
Yeah.
Some bird probably caught a baby hammerhead and then dropped in.
Yeah.
I think they say it was an osprey.
They're pelican.
They don't know.
I don't know if they actually saw the bird though.
They just think it was a bird.
Well, of course it is.
Well, of course it is.
Maybe it was a flying hammerhead shark.
It could have been something simple like what we just said or it could be Greg World.
Yeah.
Greg was a very powerful water spout turned shark NATO.
Yeah.
Well, no.
They claim it was an osprey.
So maybe someone saw it all from the sky.
I don't know.
Those are big birds.
You ever seen an osprey of close?
Yeah.
I mean, in the baby hammerhead, I mean, it's a good, I don't know, foot and a half long
at least.
I'm sure it died, right?
And from the fall.
Well, I, or maybe it was already, I don't know, it wasn't a hammerhead or a scallop.
It was, they say hammerhead, but who knows?
If it would have fallen in the ocean, then we would have never known about it.
Right.
We must have landed on.
Yeah.
But it didn't land on anyone.
Did it land on a sweaty tourist?
No.
You know, if you were going to go, well, would you rather be eaten by a shark or have a shark
land on you?
Have a shark land on me.
Yeah.
That would be way more memorable.
I mean, you probably make, you know, like Guinness book.
What are the odds?
Yeah.
Astronomical.
I don't think it's ever happened before.
I mean, so I guess it has in the course of the year.
You think somebody's died from a falling shark, but I'm sure there's been baby sharks fall
out of birds mouths and onto people.
Possibly.
If they're flying over them.
Why not?
They've recorded things.
I mean, this isn't the first time things, you know, the first of many of those sharks.
Okay.
Do you know of any of these, quote unquote, people?
So we have an interview them personally.
Yeah.
I saw this over the course of thousands of years.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I think you guys are living in.
The first one was probably a terrible act.
I would just say that if you had a choice, which way you'd want to go, well, you'd rather,
you know, die.
Yeah.
Why has it got a result in death?
Why could it be a positive thing?
Well, I'm just saying, if you had a choice, if I, I have the shark, the hand right drops
down.
And I look up and make it, I make a perfect catch.
And I'm able to get it into the water and save it.
That would be my story.
That'd be my happy ending.
I'm able to save the shark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And as it's coming down, you swing just as it says, there he is.
Wow.
Six flies right into the ocean.
We love sharks.
Listen to him.
Listen to him.
How come from somebody that is scared the death of sharks?
Scared.
I'm not scared of death.
I just scared.
He's scared.
He's scared.
All right.
Going to a little cage.
I don't die with them.
That's all.
Be kind to animals.
Yeah.
That ocean bears.
Except for iguanas.
Yeah.
This is from the guy who shoots iguanas in his spare time for just just for the anytime.
Anytime.
Anytime.
He doesn't have time.
He doesn't value life.
You are the Ted Nugin of South Florida.
Just shooting stuff all over the place.
You have no serious bite.
Budwears.
Just learn to cook it.
Yeah.
It's only good if you eat it.
Okay.
All right.
So I don't know.
Keep an eye out for the falling sharks.
Keep an eye out for berries, babies.
No pellets, pellets.
No.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Pellets.
Oh, that's what you guys call him.
I did the real shoot.
You shoot your eye out.
Speak out.
Do you hear me?
Story.
Never mind.
Go ahead.
You did read this story.
Oh, Jay.
Okay.
Casey, are you right?
You can read.
What?
High shop.
Let him say it.
Please.
News.
It was an audio book.
Okay.
I knew it.
The eggs of the iguanas are becoming a gourmet.
Oh, they're nasty.
They're soft.
For us.
Yeah.
Well, it's not a hard shell.
They're leathery.
And they look like a regular egg when you pop them open.
The eggs or the.
The.
The iguana jewels.
I destroy them.
Small.
They're like caviar.
They're about this big.
Okay.
They're not very smaller.
Speaking of that.
Okay.
Look.
I was going to bring you guys back something from Australia.
I like how they start the excuse.
No, no.
Well, you'll understand why.
Okay.
So when we're on an in Australia, they had one of the coolest souvenirs.
I thought this was perfect.
Barry, Jerry, Vinnie, Casey, Bubble Boy, Cock Johnson.
You guys would love this.
It's a bottle opener.
You always could use an Australian bottle opener made out of the.
Goen ads of a kangaroo.
I'm sorry.
You heard me.
That was the.
That's strong.
The balls of a kangaroo and they turned it into a bottle opener.
That sounds like a cool thing to have.
Yeah.
See?
Vinnie gets it.
And the only reason.
The only reason I didn't get one for each and every one of you.
Well, yeah, they were 50 bucks a pop.
That's 25 cents a ball or 25 bucks a ball.
I don't have that kind of money.
I'm not made of money.
Yeah.
But you know what?
You know what?
It's the thought that counts.
It's the thought that counts.
When I saw a kangaroo, Goen ads, I thought it was a scuba radio scuba.
You could at least take a picture.
No, no, no, no, no picture.
You can look it out.
You could go in there.
They're available.
50 bucks.
25.
I hope they got for nothing.
No, I didn't buy it.
You guys aren't worth it.
I'm dead now.
We're going to wrap it up until next time.
Remember, it's always better.
Where?
The kangaroo ball.
Where it's wetter.
OK.
Same dive in everyone.
If you be fresh or rise there, you'll want to be there on scuba radio.
Let's go.
Scuba radio.
Scuba radio is a production of overboard entertainment and corporates.
Scuba radio.
This seems the logical place for fish to congregate.
Remember, you can listen live or to archives of past editions of scuba radio.
Worldwide over the internet at scubaradio.com.
So we're in international waters in deep soul.
Tell a friend and buddy up with your radio every week for scuba radio.
The world's first radio show devoted to diving.
Well, it's all very nice here, but we should be going.
I miss me wife and me oxygen.
Yes, we all miss our loved ones and gasses.
Let's go.
The opinions you just heard on scuba radio are those of the hosts, callers, and guests.
OK.
You know, what I just heard?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
They're not necessarily those of any station or network, its management or advertisers.
Come on.
With you.
Scuba diving does involve risk and should never be conducted without proper instruction and training.
Oh, what's the worst thing that could happen?
I could die.
