  1. Is anyone concerned about the whale well being

  2. Oh my😮😮😮😮😮😮

  3. Husband loses the sailboat in a wild, drunken poker game. Then, he says to his wife, "Wait, I got an idea…"

  4. 1st. world problems

  5. The most outrageous part: "My phone started at 30% battery". Dude! Really??🤨

  6. My phone is down to 18% battery…This is the end time to start eating people. 🍴😐🍴

  7. Why are you blaming or angry at the whale. The whale had nothing to do with it. You basically in his territory not to mention open water the risk is always present.

  8. They need to slide on that whale

  9. I don’t know, story sounds a bit fishy

  10. And spotted them in the middle of the night…in the middle of the Pacific Ocean…I would love to see the live footage of the rescue. Normally the Coast Guard or a military vessel, maybe a tanker shows up to save the day. In this case, an actual rescue vessel got there before the battery ran out. Did they have enough water and food in the SHTF go bag? I don't mean to be that person with questions, I am a skeptic whenever something is presented in a way in which I can't avoid questioning it. Even used the phone battery to document the situation regardless of depleting it to 0%, but stressing it later in the interview. I would avoid interviews in general and probably keep the whole thing to myself. In 2023 this thing can get spun into many different directions. If any of it is found to be false or staged they won't be doing interviews then. Money is probably not an issue in this case but then again anything can happen in our current economic climate. Maybe they are new money wealthy…maybe a mask company or something along those lines. If so, the whale was in right. I am glad no one got hurt but I wanna follow up to this one. And who's the manufacturer of that life boat or dingy, or whatever that is? Nice impression with this story…it has all the things to generate all types of clicks across the board of humanity in its state of completely brain dead and lost with no chance of rescue as a whole.

  11. That's why you'll never get me on a small boat on the ocean. They're lucky they weren't in rough seas.

  12. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

  13. Some of the biggest sharks I’ve seen during me sea time was in that area 😂. They are very lucky.

  14. It’s good that they’re all OK

  15. This sounds more like some insurance fraud lmao 🤣

  16. Spring breakers are crashing into whales now? 😶

  17. Be interesting to see some proof of their story, last I checked that's a good route for the cartels.

  18. Pretty sad. I was hoping there were starving for weeks and start to canibalise each other.
