I went to junior lifeguards my whole life when I was growing up.

Dang, that's like...

I wish I could be a lifeguard when I was young.

It's pretty cool when you save someone's life.

I've saved a person's life before.

You did?

In the ocean, yeah.

When you do junior lifeguards, it's really cool to really take your time, things slow down.

I'm sure it's probably like a firefighter.

I'd panic in a fire, but I think if I saw so many of them in my practice, most people go, oh, shit, and then they freak out, whereas the natural calm kind of comes over you, and you just assess the whole situation so you can both get out alive, understand the rip, you understand what the ocean's doing.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Wow.

But I mean, it's just, like I said, I've been many times like drowned.

You get caught in a rip.

Yes.

It's taking you out.

You're not going to beat the ocean.

And you can literally be, I mean, I've been at a pipeline, a leaf snapped, and I'm literally eight feet from the shore.

But it's like a river going by, and you're swimming, trying to get in, like it's eight feet, and you're just getting burnt out.
