Matt Barrentine: No, but Wikipedia does, so let's go--

Byron Day: You can trust Wikipedia.

Matt Barrentine: Yeah, there, of course.

Matt Barrentine: One more fun fact, you know we're going to be watching for that marmoset having its kid, daddy marmosets are really good daddies and they'll actually, help, bite, off, that umbilical cord after the birth.

A certain part of a certain news program related to WALA-TV that appeared to have had been part of their main broadcast channel on the Monday of the twenty-seventh day of the month of May for the calendar year 2019 ("FOX 10 News at 9:00 p.m.") appeared to have had these conversations involving some of its contributors (Byron Day (presenter of news), Michael Warrick (reporter of news), and Matt Barrentine (reporter of weather)):

[note #1: the program appeared to have had some digital graphics with texts of "BREAKING NEWS", "MAN RUSHED TO HOSPITAL", and "WASHED ASHORE / ONLOOKERS RUSHED TO HELP" by this point]

Byron Day: We're continuing to follow breaking news That we first brought you at five today, A desperate attempt to save a man's life playing out in front of dozens of people, on the beach in gulf shores. Strangers and lifeguards, using C-P-R, trying to revive a man who washed ashore, after going missing while swimming . They worked on him for twenty minutes before rushing him to a hospital. As we mentioned, it's a story we first broke at five at tonight ,we're hearing from two people who        witnessed that tragic scene. Our Baldwin County reporter Michael Warrick joining us live from where this all happened, and Michael, still no word tonight on whether the guy made it

Michael Warrick: Yeah, Byron, no word yet. He was rushed to the hospital. Uh, most people fearing the worst at this hour, including a father, who was on the shore when that man came ashore, and tried, mouth to mouth resuscitation to no avail. A very, very scary scene for both him and the lifeguards   who worked tirelessly and desperately to save that man's life.  

[note #2: the program appeared to have had certain video involving a certain narrative with the graphics and texts mentioned in the previous note by this point]

Michael Warrick: Oh, absolutely, and Gulf Shores was not the only beach with dangerous rip currents today. Got to keep an eye out for those conditions; expected to be similar, tomorrow. We're live here, in Gulf Shores. I'm Michael Warrick, FOX 10 News.

Byron Day: All right, Michael, thanks very much for the, uh, update. Meteorologist Matt Barrentine standing by now with more on rip current risks. And Matt, you and I had experience with rip currents. Are we looking at dangerous conditions for the rest of the week in our gulf waters?

Matt Barrentine: Well, well like Michael just said, certainly for tomorrow, it's going to be at a higher risk tomorrow. We'll likely see things improve as the week goes along. Um, you know, obviously, too, we've been through the busy weekend with these high risks, too, that's what's been so--so tragic to see out there.Um, once again, let's talk about rip currents. Rip current safety. Uh, the, uh, this is what happens, I mean, yeah, it sometimes can be deceptive like I -- been through a lot this weekend. The surf didn't look all that rough at times, but what's going on, underneath the surf is what's creating the rip currents. We have these sand bars, that build up just off shore, and what happens is there, becomes a cut in between the sandbars, and then all that water rushes out, in that cut, and that's what creates the rip current, that can drag you out. Now the thing about a rip current is that is doesn't drag you down, it drags you out, so if you get caught in one, the first thing you need to do is not panic, I speak from experience, it's happened to me, the first thing I did was I panicked, but fortunately I rolled over my back, and I'd breathed for a minute, and I was able to--to catch my breath and then start swimming parallel to shore. So if you can't escape, one thing you can do also, like I said, is float, or tread water. And even as you're working your way back to the beach, if you need to take rest, do the same thing, float, tread water for a little bit, and then you can continue to swim on, and of course you can also wave for help, or assistance, but of course, if somebody, if you're thinking about going in after somebody, make sure you have some sort of flotation device, because a lot of times rescuers get dragged under, by people they're trying to rescue, so it's a very dangerous thing, out there when you're in the water, so always, please pay attention to those beach flags out in the Gulf of Mexico.
