Finally, people that drop the camera to actually help other people. Right on young men.

Very strange behavior not normal for podcasters to come help.

The whale is ok?—are you kidding me—he has anger management issues

[MarkTheLostTraveler]

The Whale was not charged for the hit and run. Also Nice to see the kids drop their camera and help the 2 men

Glad to finally see someone with sense enough to drop damn camera and go help victims. 👍

It’s those damn windmills at sea. The noise they emit is driving marine life crazy.

Those young men did an outstanding job coming to the rescue of those two men. I think the whale was just trying to say hello and got overzealous. 😂😅

Imagine turning it into insurance that a whale sunk my boat, them saying yeah right, but you actually have a video of the whole thing😂

More like 150' away than a mile. Her husband must have taught her how to estimate distance after he taught her how to estimate length.

[Jordan-symy]

We are obviously watching the video footage.. that is clearly not a mile away.

[lisaschreiber]

the whale thought his uber eats arrived 😝

[Noneyun]

Whale is letting everyone know the cost of their groceries is too high as well. Gonna cost you an arm and a boat!

[LeilaniG]

Will insurance cover this? Law suit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
