And then we decided to get out of the water completely. The criticism from the activists got stronger. Somewhere around 2013, a documentary was sold to CNN and they played it over and over and over and over again. And it was called “Blackfish.” And it was a slick, slick documentary, but it was a total lie. There was only two things true in it, that SeaWorld 40 years ago collected animals from the wild legally, and that we had a terrible accident. The rest of it was BS. But, yet, it was shown so many times. In fact, I’ll tell you a little sidebar, I was getting a haircut two weeks ago and the woman says, “Wow, are you retired?” And I’m going, “Well, I’m trying not to. (laughs) But yeah, I guess so. I’m getting there.” She goes, “Well, what’d you do?” And I said, “Well, I took care of animals.” “Oh, really? Were you a veterinarian?” And I said, “No, no, no, I was the zoological director for SeaWorld and Busch Gardens.” “Really?” And then she (imitates zipper whooshing), quiet.
