Down in the, like, valley

Where oh where do these news agencies find people like this to interview???
The following comes from WNEP.com regarding a story on teaching area college students the importance of fire prevention and combating wildfires.
With low humidity and plenty of dry grass and leaves in the woods state forestry officials say the conditions are perfect for wild fires. Today college students learned how to handle and put out wild fires.
On state game lands near Allenwood, forestry officials prepared some Penn College students for a hands-on lesson. They got up close and personal with fire, learning how to contain and control it.
The controlled burns are carefully planned. Students stand at the perimeter of the burn to make sure flames don't jump the lines.
"You always have to worry about being safe because you don't know what the weather is going to do. It switches with the wind, so you have to, like, pretty much pay attention at all times, where you're at, what's behind you, what's in front of you," said student Katie Su McCaslin.

"Like, pretty much?"
Like, pretty much you're suffering from second-degree burns, chickie-boo.
