You have to take care of your people.
And it's a lifestyle and it's like a way to it's a culture.
And we're in Madeira Beach, at least when I was there filming, it was they were all just like carnies.
carny ride operators you know and these dudes were in the lowest level of this of this fishing industry are those deckhands those dudes like Shane Lee and they're fucking drug addicts there a lot of them are on hooked on heroin what that what happens is they get home from fishing from 10 10 days of fishing offshore and
And they get like $4,000 or $5,000, and they blow it all on prostitutes and coke and hookers and heroin.
They're like kids with money.
And by the time they run out, they have to go fishing again.
So they're going to all the fish houses saying, bro, let me go, let me go.
So they go offshore again, and they C-hab, where they rehab at sea for 10 days because they have no more drugs.
And they come back and then rinse and repeat.
And one of the people that we interviewed, there was three main characters in that series.
There was Shane Lee, there was Space, and then there was Hollywood Kim.
And Hollywood Kim was the last episode, which was sometimes when I think I have problems in my life, I remember her story and realize I don't really know what fucking problems are.
She was from Alabama, and when she was 17 years old, she gave birth to her father's son.
And when she was six years old, she would wake up every morning and ride her bike to the beach to try to escape her dad.
And no one would believe her.
She tried telling people.
