HI! YOU CAUGHT ME SINGING.
I'M JORDAN CARLOS, AND THAT'S MY FAVORITE SONG.
IF YOU'VE BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TO SHARK WEEK
ON YOUR MARINE LIFE ADVENT CALENDAR, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
THIS IS "THE DAILY BITE."
WE'LL SPEND THE NEXT 21 DAYS
REMEMBERING THE BEST OF SHARK WEEK
FROM THE PAST 30 YEARS.
YEAH, SHARK WEEK IS THAT OLD.
LOOKING AT EVERYTHING SHARKY IN THE WORLD AROUND US
AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARK WEEK 30,
BEGINNING JULY 22nd ON DISCOVERY.
AND THEN THERE'S, LIKE, A GRAPHIC THING THAT HAPPENS.
IT'S SWEET.
Announcer: IT'S TIME FOR "THE DAILY BITE,"
YOUR DAILY COUNTDOWN TO SHARK WEEK.
WE'RE 21 DAYS AWAY AND PACKING EVERYTHING "JAWESOME"
ABOUT SHARKS INTO EVERY EPISODE.
TODAY, A LOOK BACK AT 30 YEARS OF SHARK WEEK HEROES.
PLUS, SOME INSANE MOMENTS WITH SHARK EXPERT
DICKIE CHIVELL.
PLUS, A LOOK AT "THE GREAT WHITE ABYSS."
AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ANSWER ADS ON CRAIGSLIST.
HEROES! THEY'RE ALL AROUND US --
FIREMEN, DOCTORS, SHORT-FORM WEB VIDEO HOSTS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE LIVES AND LEGACIES
OF SOME SERIOUS SHARK WEEK LEGENDS.
SHARK WEEK HERO!
MY FAVORITE SHARK WEEK HERO IS NOT A HUMAN,
BUT ACTUALLY THE SHARKS THEMSELVES,
BECAUSE THEY'RE THE TRUE HEROES AND TRUE STARS OF SHARK WEEK.
AND IT'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE PLEASURE AND PRIVILEGE
FOR US TO INTERACT WITH THESE SHARKS
AND WATCH THEM DO WHAT THEY DO NATURALLY.
WELL, MY PERSONAL SHARK WEEK HERO ARE THE SHARKS THEMSELVES.
GIVEN THE ROLE THEY PLAY IN THE ECOSYSTEM
IN PROVIDING US WITH A HEALTHY PLANET,
KEEPING EVERYTHING IN BALANCE, IS WHY THEY'RE MY FAVORITE.
YOU KNOW, WITHOUT THE BIG FISH TO BRING US ALL TOGETHER
AND BRING OUT OUR PASSION
AND UNDERSTANDING TO WANT TO DO GOOD
AND SEE HOW OUR OCEANS ARE BUILT ON BEING HEALTHY
BECAUSE OF THIS TOP PREDATOR BEING HEALTHY,
YOU KNOW, FOR ME, THEY GET ALL THE CREDIT
SO WE CAN KEEP DOING THIS, AS LONG AS WE DO A GOOD JOB
PROTECTING THEM.
ONE OF THE LEGENDS OF SHARK WEEK IS DIVER DICKIE CHIVELL.
WHENEVER THERE'S A JOB TOO DANGEROUS, TOO CRAZY,
TOO "OH, NO, I AIN'T DOIN' THAT" FOR THE REST OF THE DIVERS,
DICKIE DOES IT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF DICKIE'S CRAZIEST
SHARK MOMENTS IN A SEGMENT WE LIKE TO CALL
"DICKIE DONE DID IT!"
AND WE DO IT LIKE THAT -- WE HIT IT, "DICKIE DONE DID IT!"

J.K., WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?
GHOST CAGE. THE SHARK'S GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE YOU IN THIS,
BUT HE'S NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SENSE YOU,
WHICH MIGHT REALLY BE AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
THERE ARE THREE SHARKS BEHIND ME.
THEY'RE ALL AMPED UP.
Narrator: DICKIE IS GOING IN WITH JUST SNORKELING GEAR.
IN BLACK SUIT AND FLIPPERS, HE LOOKS REMARKABLY LIKE A SEAL.
Man: THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INJURED, THESE SHARKS.
THEY'RE VERY SMART.
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN SELF-PRESERVATION,
AND THERE'S --
Narrator: DICKIE IS IN A FISH BOWL.
THE SHARKS OUTSIDE ARE ON THE PROWL.
Dickie: GUYS, THE DOOR IS BROKEN!
Narrator: WILL THIS PLEXIGLASS AND EPOXY BOX STAND UP
TO A COUPLE OF THOUSAND POUNDS OF VIOLENT SHARK ACTION?
IF IT COLLAPSES, DICKIE IS DEFENSELESS.
Dickie: I'M TRYING TO GET IT -- WHOA!
Man: DICKIE JUST PUSHED A SHARK OUT OF THE CAGE!
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IN THE DOOR.
DICKIE! YOU ALL RIGHT?
PRETTY INSANE!
COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS!
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND, MAN?
UM, THE GHOST CAGE IS PRETTY SHARP.
DUDE, THAT WAS SUPER SKETCHY.

SPLASH!
LET ME CALL MY MAMA.
MAMA, PUT YOUR GOOD WIG ON.
IT'S SHARK WEEK.
"THE GREAT WHITE ABYSS."
EVERY SHOW IS US GOING TO WHERE THESE SHARKS ARE.
NOT ONE SHOW DOES IT SAY,
"SHARK WALKS IN THE LIVING ROOM."
NOT ONE SHOW DOES IT SAY, "SHARK AT THE GROCERY STORE,"
OR, "SHARK SITTING IN THE THIRD PEW AT CHURCH,"
OR, "SHARKS AT THE BEYONCé CONCERT."
THEY STAYED THEY ASS WHERE THEY BELONG --
IN THE DEEP, BLUE SEA.
LOOK AT THE GUY NEXT TO HIM.
HE'S LOOKING AROUND LIKE HE'S NOT EVEN SURE
IF HE SHOULD BE THERE.
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY EXTRA ON THESE MISSIONS THAT'S LIKE,
"HOW DID I WIND UP THERE?"
AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ANSWER ADS ON CRAIGSLIST.
COME ON, NOW!
TUNE IN FOR "GREAT WHITE ABYSS,"
ONLY ON SHARK WEEK.
WELL, THAT IS IT FOR US HERE AT "THE DAILY BITE."
TOMORROW, WE'LL SHOW YOU SOME CRAZY SHARK FAILS,
AND I'LL TEACH YOU SOME NEW SHARK VOCAB
SO YOU CAN EITHER IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS
OR HAVE THEM JUST THINK YOU'RE WEIRD.
I'VE BEEN ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
