Eli recounts a fisherman winning $6,000 for killing a pregnant tiger shark whose 25 pups were cut out and used in a mocking TikTok set to 'Baby Shark,' which he found deeply upsetting.
- The Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo is the biggest fishing bloodbath in the United States, where thousands of boats compete.
- They added a bear hunter who brought in great hammerheads, bull sharks, and tiger sharks, causing massive upset.
- Tim compares shark bites to investigative bites—like testing a sandwich you're not sure about before committing.
- Sharks attacked five people at the beginning of summer, but the bites weren't fatal.
- More people die from fentanyl, bees, and dogs than from sharks, so the crusade seems selective.
- Shark meat contains 35 times the allowable amount of mercury in the human body.
- Tim questions Ocean Ramsay redirecting sharks and tapping their noses, comparing it to touching his doctor's nose in Beverly Hills.
- Brett Rutledge won the rodeo by killing a thousand-pound tiger shark and took home six thousand dollars paid for by iHeartRadio.
