[00:00:00] Welcome to SeaWorld News Today. This is SeaWorld News Today, part of the SeaWorld News

[00:00:07] Today Network you can join us at SeaWorldNewsToday.com. Don't forget to like and subscribe

[00:00:13] and you can also on SeaWorld News Today website join our Salty Sailor Club. I am always

[00:00:21] in Jeff Butthole and this is the SeaWorld News Today.

[00:00:24] This is the Aguicydie Council member, Marny Van Wilpert, with Seen Dining with Orcas.

[00:00:29] Just this last Thursday as you can see here. As many of you know she has been critical

[00:00:33] of the way SeaWorld has been treating its animals and you can see here that she is perhaps

[00:00:40] rethinking this. There is no report as to whether or not she has seen the Orca encounter

[00:00:45] show and she has not responded to my several emails and letters and visits to her home.

[00:00:51] In fact, I have just received yet another restraining order relating to the show.

[00:00:56] In other news is recently been reported that SeaWorld has changed the type of chemicals they

[00:01:02] use to maintain the salinity of their water. As many of you know I have felt many times

[00:01:08] before that simply dumping salt into the water is the best and most economical way

[00:01:14] to go after all it is in fact saltwater. If you would like to hear more about my rant

[00:01:19] on this you can click here where you will also hear my views about seals and sea lions

[00:01:24] being the same animal. Riftide Rescue has just been reopened with the new coat of paint

[00:01:28] as you can see here it is a slightly more orange value of color and as many of you know

[00:01:34] I feel that it is inferior to the previous more yellow tent that they have been using since

[00:01:39] my childhood. Once again SeaWorld has destroyed my childhood. I don't know about you but this

[00:01:45] is just another sign that SeaWorld has not been the same since the days when anhyzer bush

[00:01:51] was in charge. A court date has finally been set for Perry the Pelican who as many of

[00:01:55] you know has been charged with tax evasion. The trial will take place in August and

[00:02:02] as many of you know this is well past the time that most tax evasion cases are solved. Of

[00:02:08] course if you go to our store at SeaWorld news today you can purchase many pieces of merchandise

[00:02:14] related to Perry the Pelican and his crime spree that has taken over San Diego. And as

[00:02:20] many of you know we are in support of Perry the Pelican because we here at SeaWorld news

[00:02:25] today as you may know we have said Perry the Pelican is a libertarian hero. This tote

[00:02:31] bag shown here is being put on sale currently and as you can see it is a tasteful tote bag

[00:02:38] on which the words free Perry are written on one side and on the other side it says this

[00:02:44] tote bag does what Pelicans do meaning the Pelicans of course carry things in their

[00:02:49] freakishly large beaks. Something that I am still disturbed by but I am also fascinated

[00:02:55] by. And you Dolphin has been added to Dolphin adventures and you can see lovely Dolores

[00:03:00] as she is jumping through a hoop here in the footage that is shown on our YouTube video.

[00:03:04] As many of you know Dolores is from SeaWorld Orlando and it has just been brought to my attention

[00:03:10] that Dolores also has a crippling gambling addiction. As we have often said here on the

[00:03:14] show Dolphins are very susceptible to behavioral problems and gambling addiction is one of these

[00:03:20] behavior problem that Dolphin could possibly suffer from. SeaWorld San Diego has yet

[00:03:26] to respond to my multiple letters office visits and showing up disguised as a Dolphin myself

[00:03:32] in order to get a response from SeaWorld San Diego. My lawyers have advised me to not say anything

[00:03:37] about this however as you know I am a victim in all times in all places. I'm Jeff Lethal

[00:03:45] In more attraction news it is recently been reported to me by a trusted inside source that a new

[00:03:50] motor has been installed at the Bayside Skyride and as many of you know I predicted that eventually

[00:03:56] they would have to replace the motor and I just want to say that I'm vindicated and that

[00:04:02] anyone who has doubted me will be banned forever from all of our Facebook groups including the ones

[00:04:07] that are especially racist. Now this brings me to another topic of discussion which is I just can't

[00:04:12] help but wonder that with a new motor they might be tempted to crank the speed up on the Bayside Skyride

[00:04:18] as many of you know this is a slow moving ride over Mission Bay it's lovely and only recently

[00:04:26] they have been charging people to ride in it and as I have reported in many of my manifestos

[00:04:34] I am almost certain that they will increase the speed of the ride almost imperceptibly

[00:04:41] and I'm almost sure that you know what it's time for a rant. Guys listen ever since they sold

[00:04:48] Park and Highs or Bush things have been just going downhill they have yet to respond to

[00:04:56] the Blackfish movie and a reasonable way as many of you know I feel and have felt that that movie

[00:05:02] is filled with lies and it is basically just just use of special effects and AI it's really

[00:05:10] obvious if you look at it they made it so that it is imperceptibly fake however that makes it even

[00:05:17] more fake. Now now that I've said that I want to just let you know the Bayside Skyride is a ride

[00:05:23] so many people love I mean who hasn't spent so many times riding the Skyride back and forth

[00:05:30] after you've seen the four shows that are at SeaWorld and the five exhibits and it's around noon

[00:05:36] and you have nothing else to do so then you know you get the Cipper Cup which I mean let's be honest

[00:05:41] are they really are they really making these Cipper Cups of a quality that is really worth the price

[00:05:49] let's be real here the Bayside Skyride is basically the most exciting ride at SeaWorld and I know

[00:05:55] many people think that's a criticism but it's not because I'm scared of heights so when I go on

[00:06:00] it it's scary I want to make sure that I'm getting the full experience and if the Bayside Skyride

[00:06:07] is cranked up imperceptibly so that I feel that perhaps I am getting a few seconds less time

[00:06:14] on the ride I feel like that is a travesty and it's something that everybody should write they

[00:06:18] should write a petition and then they should sign the petition and then if enough people write

[00:06:22] up actually I'm talking about letters so yeah maybe write some letters I'll sample them together

[00:06:27] I'll put them in my manifesto and I will once again get into the Dolphin costume and I will swim

[00:06:33] through Mission Bay jump over the wall free willy style into the Dolphin enclosure and I will

[00:06:39] deliver all of our signatures in my Dolphin mouth I'm Jeff Buttle anyways that's just that's

[00:06:47] that's my rant and let's move on in other ride news journey to Atlantis has yet to completely

[00:06:53] replace Speaker 17 B which as many we know has been reported is being in working order but having

[00:07:01] less of a favorable timbre to what I personally prefer when riding the ride and as we all know

[00:07:09] the corporate brass does watch this channel and listen to the podcast and I know this because

[00:07:14] I have a set outside of their offices in a van on which I have placed military grade speakers

[00:07:21] previously only used by the CIA and Iraq through which I blare this very podcast at the office

[00:07:27] building causing the windows to shake and occasionally break so see world brass don't tell me that

[00:07:32] you haven't listened to the show I know for a fact that you have anyway as I was saying oops

[00:07:38] I forgot what I was saying I've missed the point maybe I should write down my notes all we're at

[00:07:43] it don't forget that you can watch me and all of my nerdy friends make really really wonderful

[00:07:49] jokes and if you decide to watch SeaWorld News tonight available here on YouTube and it features

[00:07:56] lovely song parodies about fish and about being a victim of the SeaWorld brass you all also

[00:08:03] will get to watch me read my top 10 list of grievances against the company and in grievances

[00:08:09] the pretzel cart located outside the sky ride has been using a different coarseness of salt as many

[00:08:16] of you know I prefer my pretzels with a higher grain of salt this this new pretzel cart salt is just

[00:08:24] unacceptable it it just it first of all it doesn't stick well to the pretzel and as many of you know

[00:08:31] pretzels require salt and and you know I you can try to cover up with mustard but it just that's

[00:08:37] just not the same SeaWorld you're getting called out you know what you're doing I'm coming for you

[00:08:44] also this just in SeaWorld has recently announced that they will be bringing back their fireworks

[00:08:49] their nightly fireworks starting this spring as many of you know I predicted this was going to happen

[00:08:56] and it's just you know it's just ridiculous they they take it away every year and they think

[00:09:01] that we're going to forget but I'm watching them and as you know every year I predict they'll come

[00:09:06] back and every year they do and you know let's just be honest this is shameful and if

[00:09:13] if SeaWorld was still being run by anhyzer bush none of this would be happening let's just be

[00:09:18] really honest about that but moving on I just want to address some things that have been brought

[00:09:23] to my attention on the socials look guys many of you have complained about the polar Express 3D

[00:09:30] movie that is replaced Arles Dines Haunted Lighthouse 4D as well as Pirates 4D look look I love those

[00:09:38] attractions just as much as anyone and I just feel like we need to wait to see what is replaced

[00:09:47] we need to see the replacement before we hate it and don't get me wrong we will hate it you know

[00:09:53] just like when they when they got rid of animal connections I was beside myself and I said

[00:09:59] you know maybe they'll replace it with something that we'd like they did replace it with the pet's

[00:10:03] rule show and as you know I instantly hated the pet's rule show and of course I did try to break

[00:10:10] into a pet's door to start a rival pets rule show and we all know how that went well thanks for
