Kicker: 100 days under the sea

NICK EICHER, HOST: Perhaps you remember the 1950s B-movie: Creature from the Black Lagoon? Well on Friday, a different kind of creature surfaced from Emerald lagoon near Key Largo, Florida.

SOUND: [JOSEPH DITURI UNDERWATER]

Joseph Dituri, also known as Dr. Deep Sea, teaches at the University of South Florida and for the last 100 days has lived 22 feet underwater! Breaking the previous world record by 27 days.

Here he is giving a Facebook update on day one back in March.

JOSEPH DITURI: I'm going to enjoy the warmth of the Sun. I'm going to spend time with my family and my loved ones.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Yeah, what a relief, no more of that!

No more extreme pressha, no more soggy pizzah.
