Open Book with Anthony Scaramucci · "They Should've Been Dead": How 3 Men Survived 28 Hours Surrounded by Sharks - Michael J. Tougias · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

They're so hard to find.

So don't blow it.

These guys have put their lives, so to speak, in your hands now to get the story right and be proud of this book.

Get it right, but make it fast paced.

You know, I'm not sure.

I'm going to take a little break because these are kind of grueling projects.

I've become close friends with these men.

So we're going to get together at some point with the rescuers and have a little celebration of life, if you will.

And, but I'll take a deep breath and enjoy it.

And, you know, I knew that I got it right for them when they all offered on social media to, to post and publicize the book.

And I'm like, wow, that is, you know, that's going above and beyond.

You've given all your time.

And so Lou, when he was in the water, he took a video of himself, a 30 second video and

And I posted that on Instagram and the thing went viral.

It had a half a million views because he doesn't say anything, but you could see it in his face that this is my message to my parents that I'm still alive, but I won't be in the next few minutes.

And that authenticity, I guess, is what appeals to people online.

The rescuers, the SAR team, search and rescue team, not just the helicopter crew, they kept digging and digging and digging.

And then they got the lucky break that, again, I won't give things away, that allowed them to take it to the next level.

Okay.

Fear.
