00:00It kind of consumed my life for a good month.
00:04So the Dodo reached out to ask me how it all started.
00:07I'm back smoking on this ship and I found an octopus today.
00:11There's a documentary on Netflix which everyone's probably seen called My Octopus Teacher.
00:16So I was like, I'm gonna have to start going here every day and I'll see if we can build
00:19this relationship.
00:22We made contact.
00:24I'll see you soon, Mr. Octopus.
00:26Every interaction was just as magical.
00:31I don't know what Octopus is thinking. He doesn't know what I'm thinking.
00:33But there was something there where we both knew we were safe to each other.
00:44He was swimming up to me.
00:48Like he wasn't wanting me to be there with him.
00:52It was day five of meeting with my Octopus friend.
00:54Yesterday was the best interaction yet.
00:56He was swimming around playing with me.
00:58Let's see what he does today.
01:04He's not even there.
01:05Mate, I can't believe that.
01:07My heart just sank.
01:09I didn't cry or anything, but how would he stay?
01:13I think someone's took over my mate's home.
01:15There's a big old Octopus.
01:16This big one's scared off my little mate.
01:18We'll come back tomorrow and hopefully he's returned.
01:21Things are getting mad.
01:22Every day something's happening.
01:23Looks like he has got like a spear gun with him.
01:25So if I see him coming anywhere near my little mate's house, he's going to be getting told to do
01:29one.
01:30And we're going to go try and find little man again because I'm missing my little pal back.
01:41He realised it's me and he swam straight over to me.
01:44Tapped me on foot like let's go.
01:47So I follow him.
01:48He's not going fast.
01:49He's kind of cruising through the water.
01:51It's like he was leading me.
01:54And I'm like, has he just brought me to his new house?
01:57I'm so buzzing that I found him today.
01:59He's led me to his new house.
02:01So the series continues with my little mate.
02:03Yes.
02:08I'm truly grateful that I got to experience that.
02:20For more information,Findzech Edith,
02:23And shut down theasil moving his ankle.
02:25That's when my little bent.
02:25You truly were all of us.
02:25Let's go.
02:25I don't know what he had like a shot in your house.
02:26My little donkey was me I realized.
02:26And I know him.
02:26He's got to hisettuels.
