Butters: I HOPE YOU'VE GOT YOUR SCUBA GEAR ON
BECAUSE, LIKE MY CAREER, WE'RE TAKING A DIVE.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE, IT'S ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF CLOSE CALLS,
PLUS, A LOOK AT A "SHARK WEEK" HERO.
AND WE PUT JORDAN TO THE TEST.
THERE ARE 15 DAYS TO "SHARK WEEK",
AND THIS IS "THE DAILY BITE."
CHOMP CHOMP, AND WELCOME TO "THE DAILY BITE,"
A SHOW WHERE WE ALL JOIN TOGETHER
AS ONE AND WORSHIP THE GREAT BIG SHARK.
LONG LIVE THE GREAT SHARK.
MAY THE SHARK'S REIGN BE GOOD AND EVERLASTING.
IF IT PLEASES THE SHARK,
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND JUMP RIGHT IN.
THANK YOU, GREAT BIG SHARK.
BROTHER BUTTERS?
ROLL THE TAPE.
OH, MY GOD!

Butters: DOCTOR GRUBER'S TEAM HAS PROVEN THROUGH TAGGING
AND DNA THAT THESE JUVENILES WILL RETURN TO THIS SITE
AS PREGNANT MOTHERS.
NOW HE'S MOVING ON TO BIGGER FISH -- LITERALLY.
Gruber: THE TIGER SHARK -- WHEN THEY COME AND BITE,
THEY DON'T LET GO.
WHEN THEY GRAB A TURTLE,
THEY JUST HANG ON TO THAT TURTLE,
AND THEY BITE DOWN ON IT, AND THEY SHAKE IT.
SO YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET BIT BY A TIGER SHARK.
YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO DROWN OR YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE A LIMB,
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LET GO.
THERE'S A SHARK, RIGHT THERE.
WE NEED TO PUT ONE PERSON ON THE BOW.
NO. WRONG SIDE, WRONG SIDE.
ALL RIGHT, DON'T PULL HIM. LET HIM LOOSE.
THERE WE GO. Man: READY, DOC?
READY TO ROLL. ALL RIGHT, HE'S TAGGED.
I THINK IT'S A SHE.
IT'S A SHE. IT'S A SHE.
WE NEED A GENETIC SAMPLE, AND WE'RE READY.
GOT IT.
WHOA!
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THAT WAS JUST AWESOME.
OVER THE 30 YEARS OF "SHARK WEEK,"
WE'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW
SOME OF THE HEROES OF OCEANOGRAPHY AND ICHTHYOLOGY,
ALSO KNOWN AS MARINE BIOLOGY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT ONE OF THESE IN A SEGMENT WE CALL
"'SHARK WEEK' HERO."
YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE, RIGHT?
Kurr: NO. THIRD ONE.
STILL, MAN, YOU WENT --
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MADE IT REALLY --
THE GUY THAT NOT ONLY TRULY KICKED IT OFF,
BUT MADE IT POPULAR -- JEFF KURR.
MY PERSONAL "SHARK WEEK" HERO IS JEFF KURR.
I GREW UP WATCHING THIS GUY ON TELEVISION, AND IT INSPIRED ME.
SO MY HERO IN "SHARK WEEK" WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE JEFF KURR.
I MEAN, NOT ONLY HAS HE BEEN FILMING "SHARK WEEK"
FOR THE LONGEST AND MY FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME IS
"AIR JAWS," HE'S SORT OF LIKE A MENTOR TO ME.
HE'S BEEN DOING IT THE LONGEST,
BUT ALSO HE'S INSPIRED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
BY SHOWING THEM THE MAGNIFICENT CREATURE
THAT IS THE GREAT WHITE SHARK.
I'M DONE. I'M NOT GETTING BACK ON.
I'M DONE. I'M OUT.

SO, HERE'S THE DEALY, YO.
LAST YEAR, I HOSTED "SHARK WEEK" ON SNAPCHAT
AND LEARNED A TON OF FACTS ABOUT SHARKS.
EARLIER TODAY, I WAS REGALING THE STAFF HERE --
THAT'S RIGHT, REGALING --
WITH MY SHARK KNOWLEDGE AND SOMEONE SAID...
Man: HEY, JORDAN.
HOW MANY SHARK FACTS COULD YOU RECITE IN 30 SECONDS
WHILE WE THROW CHUM AT YOU?
SOMEONE'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE.
AND JUST TO KEEP IT ENTERTAINING,
WE'RE GOING TO CUT THIS STUNT TOGETHER WITH SHOTS OF DIVERS
THROWING CHUM OR, AS WE CALL IT HERE
IN THE BIZ AT "SHARK WEEK", "CHUM SHOTS."
SHARK FACTS -- HERE WE GO.

UNLIKE FISH, SHARKS CAN ONLY SWIM FORWARD.

ON AVERAGE, A SHARK HAS 40 TO 45 TEETH.
THAT'S A LOT OF TEETH!
AAH!
THANKS EVERYONE, FOR HANGING OUT.
I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TIME AND LEARNED A THING OR TWO.
I KNOW I SURE DID.
ALL RIGHT.
SAY GOODBYE TO THE PEOPLE, RALPH.
