0:31 up by this some rope there so the trees

0:34 don't fall over but then there's like a

0:36 couple sticks in there so very Blair

1:00 I guess it's kind of a always that way

1:03 where you just kind of have a mish mash

1:05 throughout the course of the day I am

1:07 heading it is that Sun is bright that

1:09 sun is really really bright backside of

1:11 Celebration backside backside of the art

1:14 deco 7eleven I think it's art DEA where

1:21 am heading to shark con

1:24 yesterday was Shark con Saturday but

1:28 today is the second day I've never been

1:31 to that convention my good friend Tampa

1:33 J I believe has been there five or six

1:35 years in a row I asked him if it's worth

1:38 going to he goes oh heck yeah you should

1:39 stop in there and it works out

1:42 well believe he went yesterday was not

1:45 able to go yesterday so I'm going to

2:14 join me it's good to have you

2:16 here that's

2:24 warm shall you now it's kind of

2:24 interesting because it's one of those

2:26 things I don't know if I would have gone

2:28 all the way to tropic of field today

2:31 specifically for the

2:33 game and I don't know if I would have

2:35 gone all the way over to Tampa

2:37 specifically for

2:38 sharkcon but because they are both going

2:41 on at the on the same day in the same

2:44 time frame and same area I decided heck

2:48 it I'm going it's also kind of nice

2:52 Sunday mornings are pretty good for

2:54 going westbound on I4 or eastbound now

2:57 coming back later it's going to be a

2:59 whole different scenario area but if I

4:41 impulsive thing I got it at the gate $30

4:45 CP people were leaving there was a

4:47 couple that were like $60 for both of us

6:01 getting

6:02 a bigger perspective just shows

6:07 the a mive size of the inflatable how

6:12 big was the

6:13 animal that had these Jaws if you were

6:17 wondering that a new study clinged the

6:18 Megalodon sharks R the oceans over 50 ft

6:22 may have eaten their siblings that is

6:25 definitely not a friendly family ooh I

6:28 see a shark walking can bu right there I

6:30 can see his fin he's out of the water

7:07 got some little teeth right here yes the

7:10 13x studios usually known for their

7:13 horror stuff and now you're going into

7:15 aquatic sea life even though I guess y

7:17 Jaws is a horror film so that works yes

7:19 probably the probably the greatest of

7:21 all time right is it your favorite

7:22 favorite horror film I think so man okay

7:25 I I think so your favorite horror film

7:28 is jaw I say like um I I love the

7:30 strangers randomly I know the new ones

7:31 everybody hated but I really like the

7:33 strangers I love the purges of course

7:35 Friday 13s but um I know Jaws is just

7:38 different like and I live on the beach

7:39 and I'm like I don't even want to go in

7:40 the water still to this day so you've

7:43 sold a lot of Jaws masks I did I did

7:52 yeah I they got a little panel action

7:52 going on over there take a look at this

7:55 right an assortment of pinball machines

7:57 over here

8:00 the Jaws

8:06 mobile now I will say I enjoy the movie

8:06 Jaws i' probably seen it 10 times I

8:08 would not put it in my favorite favorite

8:09 film that's just me personally therez I

8:12 know some Jaws people kind of like I

8:14 look at it as like Ghostbusters I really

8:16 enjoy Ghostbusters I like Ghostbusters

8:18 but I couldn't win a trivia contest when

8:20 it comes to Ghostbusters or Jaws even

8:22 though I probably seen them 10 15 20

8:24 times each maybe

8:27 more but I definitely can appreciate to

8:35 fandom I like Jaws 3 a lot because it's

8:35 you know it's a quirky movie that was

8:37 filmed at SeaWorld Orlando in 3D Lewis

8:39 Costa Jr Dennis

8:43 Quaid early filming location videos I

8:45 did it's also interesting that SeaWorld

8:47 Orlando does not Embrace Jaws 3 anymore

8:50 they used to have a Jaws 3 pictures and

8:52 things like that in the information

8:54 front ticket booth area when you go to

8:55 like guest services and they don't

8:57 really acknowledge it anymore kind of

9:00 wonder how like aquatic Parks feel about

9:03 Jaws kind of being the the

9:07 villain this is a freaking slide right

9:10 here for the youths to go down the slide

9:14 and inflatable shark slide look at that

19:41 Rubberneck I think was the name of the

19:42 album great

19:44 album traffic still not looking too

19:48 bad not looking too bad not yet anyway

19:52 on the way back it will be after I

19:54 stated that traffic was pretty smooth it

19:56 started to get a little nons smooth

19:59 in fact on the freeway I was on there

20:02 was a incident a wreck I believe miles

20:05 up the road so I had to Veer off and

20:06 take a different pathway so it took me a

20:09 little longer to get here but I think

20:10 I'm still going to get in before first

20:11 pitch it's going to be very very close

20:14 took some side streets some surface

20:15 streets things like that also this is

20:18 the last

20:20 game for the All-Star

20:28 Break The Unofficial midseason Point

20:28 even The Season's already more than half

20:30 over I think the halfway point was about

20:32 two weeks ago but Allstar game's kind of

20:34 The Unofficial halfway point of the

20:37 baseball season this is the last game

20:40 before the teams take off for you know

20:42 like a week for the All-Star break

20:44 current AL standings right now the rays

20:47 are 47 and 48 so if they win today

20:50 they'll get to an even 500 which will be

20:52 good going into

20:54 that and this isn't their best year but

20:56 you know what still the ways to go so

21:00 the ways if they win this one if they

21:02 win tonight they'll win have won the

21:04 series against the Guardians notice how

21:06 there's train tracks here too see the

21:08 tracks right

21:18 tracks also you see where it says here

21:18 to stay right up there I don't believe

21:21 that the new ballpark is 100% confirmed

21:24 by the city yet so it's kind of sort of

21:27 here to stay but they hasn't officially

21:29 been locked in yet the new concept art

21:32 for the stadium looks pretty amazing

21:33 it's just where exactly is it going to

21:36 be they say St Pete it' be kind of nice

21:39 if it was in like eore or Tampa or even

21:43 Orlando but I think ebore would really

21:45 make a lot of sense but you know I'm not

21:47 on the I'm not the decision making T I'm

21:49 not on the decision- making crew it's a

21:51 little bit of a scorcher out here too
