Narrator: IT'S 19 DAYS TO SHARK WEEK, AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
THESE UNDERSEA SUITS ARE REALLY HOT
WHEN YOU'RE OUT OF THE WATER.
OH, GOD.
I'M SO HOT.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE, A LOOK BACK AT 30 YEARS OF CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
WITH SHARKS
AND -- WAIT FOR IT -- PUPPIES.
NOW QUIT THRASHING AROUND IN THE WATER.
IT'S TIME FOR "THE DAILY BITE."
GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO OUR SHOW.
OR GOOD MORNING.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW THE INTERNET WORKS,
BUT I'M TOLD THAT THIS SHOW IS CONSTANTLY ON.
LIKE ME!
LUCKY FOR US, IT'S TIME ONCE AGAIN TO LOOK BACK AT THE PAST
30 YEARS OF SHARK WEEK
WITH A COLLECTION OF SHARK WEEK CLOSE CALLS.
Man: OH, MY GOD!

McMillan: WE KNOW THAT SHARKS FROM GUADELOUPE TRAVEL
TO SURF BEACH AND VICE VERSA,
BUT WHAT I WANT TO KNOW FROM JIMMY IS,
DOES HE SEE THE SAME SHARKS HERE YEAR AFTER YEAR?
Jimmy: THE INTERESTING THING, BRANDON, IS WE SEE THE SAME
MALES RETURN HERE YEAR AFTER YEAR.
-WHAT ABOUT THE FEMALES? -FEMALE MIGRATION OUT HERE
IS EVERY TWO YEARS.
-EXACTLY LIKE SURF BEACH, HUH? -YEAH, JUST LIKE OTHER WILDLIFE,
HIGHLY MIGRATORY ANIMALS.
THEY COME BACK, AND THEIR MIGRATORY PATTERNS
ARE VERY CONSISTENT,
SOMETIMES RETURNING TO THE SAME SPOT ON THE SAME DAY.
ALL RIGHT, GET READY NOW.
IT'S GAME ON. HERE WE GO.
GUYS, I'M DELIBERATELY LEAVING THE BAIT ON ITS NOSE.

WHOA! WHOA!

YOU ALL RIGHT? LET ME SEE YOUR HAND.
STILL THERE, MATE, YEAH. NOTHING?
THEY'RE FAST. SO, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE
IS A SMALL FORM OF TONIC IMMOBILITY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST AN OVERLOAD OF SENSES.
THEY'RE NOT USED TO BEING TOUCHED LIKE THAT.
ALL THEIR SENSES ARE AROUND THE SNOUT AREA,
AND AS SOON AS I TOUCH THAT AREA, MAKES THAT JAW GAPE.
YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD THAT RAILING WAS THERE.
IF THAT RAILING WASN'T THERE, YOU'D BE TOAST.
WELL... AND I'D BE NEXT.
I DON'T HAVE A JOKE FOR THIS ONE BECAUSE IT JUST BLEW ME AWAY.
ELI MARTINEZ HAS THE MYSTERIOUS ABILITY
TO COMMUNICATE WITH SHARKS
AND GET THEM TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS THEM TO DO.
KIND OF LIKE THE WAY THAT WHEN A GUY COMES ON TV LATE AT NIGHT
AND SELLS HIS INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE PILLOWS,
I BUY THEM. I OWN EIGHT!
I GUESS I DID HAVE A JOKE.
TAKING A SHARK SIP BREAK NOW.
Martinez: MY ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN SPENT DELVING
DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO WHAT MAKES SHARKS TICK,
AND IN THIS CASE, I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT TAKES
TO MAKE A SHARK STOP DEAD.
Narrator: TONIC IMMOBILITY IS A DEFENSE MECHANISM
FOUND IN MANY ANIMALS.
IT'S INDUCED IN A SHARK WHEN IT'S TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
IT LEAVES THEM HELPLESS AND VULNERABLE TO ATTACK.
Martinez: NOW, I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL DOING WHAT I DO.
THERE'S -- THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
THESE ARE LARGE PREDATORS, AND, YOU KNOW,
IF I MAKE A MISTAKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GAME OVER.
Narrator: ELI MUST HAVE TOTAL FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
FOR THE ATTEMPT.
SO THIS TIME, THERE'S NO CHAIN MAIL.
A HOSTILE TIGER SHARK COMES FOR ELI.
THIS GIVES ELI HIS BEST CHANCE YET
TO ATTEMPT A TECHNIQUE ON A LARGE PREDATOR.

Martinez: WHOO-HOO!
[ LAUGHS ]
HOW'S THAT?
THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
Narrator: ELI PROVES THAT EVEN TIGER SHARKS
CAN BE TURNED TONIC.

-OH! -LOOK, IT'S TITUS!
WHOA!
OH, HI, EVERYBODY. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT ONE SIDE EFFECT OF SHARK WEEK
IS THAT LOOKING AT ALL THESE SHARKS PUTS ME A LITTLE ON EDGE.
I FEEL LIKE I JUST WANT TO SEE A CUTE AND CUDDLY CREATURE --
FOR A SECOND.
IF ONLY I COULD LOOK AT A CUTE AND CUDDLY LITTLE GUY --
AND A SHARK.
WHAT'S THAT?
I CAN?
YOU'RE GONNA PLAY IT? NOW?!
AND...
END INTRO!
