00:00Whenever we get new interns in, I like to put them through some safety training so they

00:04get hands-on experience.

00:06I can tell you what to do, but until you put your hands on it, you don't really understand.

00:09I mean, you don't really learn from a book as much as you do hands-on.

00:13Now, once I've got them taped up, you're going to be closing them out.

00:18Just pretend it's open.

00:19You and Eddie are going to work together, and I'm going to be watching.

00:22All right.

00:23Whenever I have somebody like Eddie that's been around for a while and I've been teaching

00:26him, it really makes me feel a lot better to sit back and see that they can teach other

00:31people what I've taught them.

00:32If you see something, you let her know, okay?

00:34All right.

00:35I'm watching.

00:36Hey, watch that back leg.

00:37It looks like it's about to roll.

00:38All right, give it a good tap.

00:42See how it raises his head up like that?

00:43Mm-hmm.

00:44Now, go underneath.

00:45Look at me.

00:46Go straight down the middle with the...

00:47There you go.

00:48Give it a shake.

00:49Is it going to roll?

00:50Okay.

00:51Now, take your other hand.

00:52You're going to transition around this way.

00:54With both hands, pin the head straight down, and you tell your partner to jump.

00:58Jump.

00:59You're good.

01:00Okay.

01:01A little bit smaller than an alligator.

01:02That goes without saying, but...

01:03Yeah, keep your head off that center line, both of you.

01:05I was not expecting it to fly into my head.

01:08That's for sure.

01:09A little bit smaller than an alligator is hard not to bang your head.

01:12Yeah, that's true.

01:13A little headbutt never hurt anybody.

01:15All right.

01:16Yeah.

01:17Pin the head straight down.

01:18Tell your partner to get out.

01:19Okay.

01:20Go ahead and get out.

01:22If you're comfortable with it, we can take the tape off and do it for real.

01:25I want to be able to say that I have closed it up with my own hands.

01:28Doing it with your own hands, there's something thrilling about it.

01:30Anytime I have a new intern or somebody that's that willing to go hands-on with a hot gator,

01:36that makes me a little nervous.

01:38You remember what you're doing?

01:39Mm-hmm.

01:40Where's your thumb?

01:41Tucked.

01:42Okay.

01:43My hand is just hesitating to go near it, so I got to fight my instincts and actually

01:47go for it.

01:52All right.

01:53Go ahead.

01:54Underneath.

01:57Go.

01:58Woo!

02:00Pull, pull, pull, pull.

02:04She was focused.

02:05She stayed calm, and she listened to instructions.

02:07Emily did great.

02:09There you go.

02:10Woo!

02:11See, now I feel more comfortable taking it out on a nuisance call.
