00:00So I have my son, Blue, with me today.

00:02He's been handling these animals since he was in diapers.

00:05I feel like I'm going on the other side of the road.

00:08I'm gonna crawl in this way.

00:10Y'all keep me safe.

00:11I've been doing this for my whole life, basically,

00:14like, as long as I can remember.

00:15And he kind of brought me along to help coach Andrew out,

00:19make sure he doesn't slip up or do anything wrong.

00:22Grab everything you need and just be ready on this side,

00:25and I'm gonna push him to you.

00:27Whenever I push him out,

00:28if you can go hands-on and grab him, cool.

00:31If you need to snare him, fine.

00:33Don't let him come back.

00:34I've trained him well.

00:35He's learned from my mistakes, so he knows how to do things,

00:39because he knows what not to do.

00:41I got an extra rope, just in case.

00:43To have him out here with me today,

00:46training one of these new interns...

00:48You go left, I go right.

00:50It really swells your heart.

00:53Whoa!

01:01Using that.

01:03Yeah, I think this will work.

01:05Hello! Andrew!

01:07Y'all ready? Here I come!

01:10You see the loop part?

01:12You're gonna put that up against the...

01:14Yeah, I keep it in the water,

01:15just so he don't see you moving it and stuff.

01:18I'm gonna grab a bucket and push it in front of me.

01:20So he uses the bucket to push straight through there.

01:24You got, like, a blockade to push him out the other end.

01:27You're also pushing the water out, too.

01:29Ha-ha-ha!

01:31Oh, this trusty red bucket, this should keep me safe.

01:37Ha-ha-ha! Game on.

01:39So going through there, he's going bucket first.

01:42The bucket also helped me feel like he's a little bit more safe,

01:45because sometimes he goes in with just his hands,

01:47hoping the alligator will be scared and go out the other end.

01:53My dad going through that culvert,

01:55I couldn't see him at all.

01:57All I heard was him talking just a little bit.

01:59All right, I see him.

02:01He does not want to turn your way.

02:03You pushing him right now?

02:05Nope, he's just looking at me.

02:07Ha! I see bubbles.

02:09He should be coming out your way any second.

02:11There he is, there he is, right there, right in front of you.

02:13He's going back.

02:15He's going back.

02:17He's on our side, Dad.

02:19He's right in this area right here.

02:21He merked up the water. The water's super clear over here.

02:23He didn't move this way.

02:25He's right here trying to get under. I feel him pushing.

02:27What?

02:29We're trying to locate him. He merked up the water, though.

02:31Is he in here with me or out there with y'all?

02:33I believe he's out here with us.

02:35He's a tiny little gator.

02:37Growing up doing this, I know what to look out for and all that.

02:39It's not like a fear.

02:41It's like, okay, I need to back up, give it space,

02:43push up on it. My dad's been teaching me everything.

02:45It's like natural now.

02:47I'm going to poke around in the middle a little bit more.

02:49Try to feel for him.

02:51Make him want to take a breath.

02:53What do y'all got? We don't got nothing.

02:55He's not come up yet. Feel something?

02:57Andrew. Yeah, what's up?

02:59Close fist, put your hands down,

03:01and feel gently.

03:03You move slow, keep your knuckles like this,

03:05just to make sure you can't grab onto

03:07any little bits of you.

03:09So when I put my hand in the water, I was actually pretty much just thinking

03:11it probably won't hurt that much

03:13if it decides to bite me.

03:15Talk to me, guys. He's right there.

03:17He popped up right back that way.

03:19He went down. I don't see his head, though.

03:21I saw everything just now. He popped up?

03:23Yeah, he popped up right over here.

03:25There's no way y'all can let me out of here without

03:27letting him loose, huh? I believe I can.

03:29Just push it slowly, Dad. Okay.

03:31I'll keep it straight.

03:33Okay.

03:35Close your hand nice and slowly.

03:37Look, look, look.

03:39I want you to look right in front of you. You see his neck?

03:41He's right there in front of you. Oh, yeah, I see him.

03:43You can see him? Right there.

03:45Hey, when you go, you commit, okay?

03:47If you're gonna hit him, you hit it all the way down.

03:49Pin him. Now.

03:51Get him. Got him. Got him.

03:53All right, just pin him down. Slowly slide your hands up.

03:55See if you can close that mouth.

03:57All right.

03:59Now.

04:01Look at you. I'll hold him.

04:03You're gonna take this joker up.

04:05You did that, dude.

04:07How cool is that, huh? That's pretty cool.

04:09I was telling Andrew,

04:11if you're gonna go, commit.

04:13Just do it. He went for it. He committed.

04:15He grabbed it. Awesome.

04:17Take it.

04:19Don't let him whoop you now.

04:21Don't let him whoop you now that you got him taped up.

04:23Hold on to him now.

04:25Hey, look. Calm down.

04:27You got it. You do this.

04:29Andrew, he did really good, I think. He held his own there.

04:31Hey, look what he caught.

04:33He caught a whole lizard over there.

04:35It's gonna need a name.

04:37Because now it's a pet.

04:39It has to go back to go to your country, and we're gonna love it forever.

04:41Jean-Claude.

04:43Jean-Claude. What?

04:45Jean-Claude.
