Narrator: IT'S 16 DAYS
TO "SHARK WEEK,"
AND I STILL DON'T KNOW
HOW TO SWIM.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE
OF "THE DAILY BITE,"
A LOOK AT SOME AMAZING
SHARK MYTHOLOGY FROM HAWAII,
PLUS ANOTHER FANTASTIC EPISODE
OF "DICKIE DONE DID IT"
AND, WAIT FOR IT, PUPPIES.
NOW QUIT THRASHING AROUND
IN THE WATER.
IT'S TIME FOR
"THE DAILY BITE."
EVERY CULTURE HAS A DIFFERENT
MYTHOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH SHARKS.
WE'LL BE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK
AT SOME OF THESE
OVER THE COURSE OF THE SHOW.
FIRST UP, HAWAII --
THE LAST STATE...
BUT THE FIRST IN MY HEART.

I WAS ACTUALLY BORN ON OAHU.
MY ROOTS GO BACK
FROM THE BEGINNING.
I MEAN, I'M DIRECTLY RELATED
TO THE ORIGINAL SETTLERS HERE.
I CARE ABOUT THE LOCAL PEOPLE,
I CARE ABOUT THE VISITORS,
AND I PRETTY MUCH OWE
A LOT OF WHO I AM
AND WHAT I HAVE TO THE OCEAN.
IN THE HAWAIIANS' LIVES,
THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING WITHOUT
ASKING FOR GUIDANCE
OR PROTECTION.
BEFORE YOU DID BATTLE,
YOU HAD A BLESSING.
BEFORE YOU WENT FISHING,
YOU HAD A BLESSING.

THIS BLESSING IS
FOR GUIDANCE AND PROTECTION.

WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO FIND A WAY
TO COEXIST WITH THE SHARK.
I MEAN, WE'RE ON
THIS PLANET TOGETHER.
WE HAVE NO MORE RIGHTS
THAN A SHARK DOES
TO THIS PLANET.
AND THE OCEAN IS THEIR DOMAIN.
WE HAVE TO RESPECT THAT.

WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
YOU KNOW,
WE'RE GONNA BE SPENDING
THE NEXT MONTH TOGETHER,
SO MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO GET
TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME.
HERE'S SOMETHING --
SOMETIMES,
WHEN I'M LYING AWAKE AT NIGHT,
I COULD FEEL LIKE I'M IN A CAGE
OF EXISTENTIAL DREAD,
SURROUNDED BY "SHARKS."
BUT THAT'S A METAPHORICAL CAGE,
AND THOSE SHARKS REPRESENT
THE FRAUGHT RELATIONSHIPS
I HAVE WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS.
"SHARK WEEK" REGULAR
DICKIE CHIVELL, HOWEVER,
KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE IN A LITERAL CAGE
SURROUNDED BY ACTUAL SHARKS.
MAKES ME FEEL KIND OF...SMALL.
LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK
AT HIS SEGMENT WE LIKE TO CALL
"DICKIE DONE DID IT"!

-HEY, DICKIE!
-HEY, MR. FEDOS!
-THIS IS CALLED THE HORNET.
-OKAY.
NOW, THE WHOLE POINT
OF THE EXPERIMENT
IS TO GET THE SHARK
RIGHT BEFORE IT BREACHES.
MY ESCAPE PLAN IS,
BASICALLY,
I CAN JUST BAIL
OUT THE FRONT
AND THEN SIGNAL THE BOAT
TO COME PICK ME UP.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
YEAH, BE SAFE
IN THERE, DICKIE.

WHOA, DICKIE,
THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!
THAT WAS SO INSANE!
WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE
UNDERWATER?
THAT SHARK WAS SO BIG!
I COULDN'T SEE IT
COMING UP
FROM ALL THE WAY DOWN
AT THE BOTTOM,
WHICH MADE IT EVEN COOLER
'CAUSE IT WAS JUST
ALL OF A SUDDEN...

THIS MAY NOT SURPRISE YOU,
BUT I WAS LEFT SHARK
FOR HALLOWEEN
THREE YEARS IN A ROW.
EVERYONE THOUGHT IT'D BE
REALLY FUNNY TO GIVE ME CHUM
INSTEAD OF CANDY.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT MY LEGACY.
THERE'LL BE TIME FOR THAT LATER.

CONVERSATION TIP --
TRY SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD.
IF IT'S LOCAL,
IT'S PROBABLY SUSTAINABLE.
LET'S GIVE UP BALLOONS.
THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO CELEBRATE.
LEARN WATER SAFETY,
