and -- >> jimmy: what does that mean? >> that means an apex predator is above them so they're clearing the waters for a a bigger shark. so i kind of like go, what -- [ laughter ] --what's going on right now? >> jimmy: but are you the apex? >> not i'm not the -- no. not at all.

sideways and eight rows of teeth just going fraw! >> jimmy: but then here's where, again, we differ. tell everyone what happened, what you do with the shark. >> so the shark, he came at me. or she came at me and then turned a little bit. >> jimmy: don't worry. they're not watching. >> not going to offend the shark. >> jimmy: the shark is not watching. yeah, yeah, that's all right. >> when it swam by me, it was swimming towards the boat which is where i needed to get back to. so i don't know what happened, but i guess i just really like to charge life so i just grabbed onto its fin and rode it all the way back to the boat. >> jimmy: oh, my god!
