Are you trying to rewrite the future?
44:54
Um, okay.
44:54
Justin, can I find some, um, hard, bendable steel stuff around? Can I look around for something to fashion a grappling hook out of with my-

52:35
Yeah
52:35
...
52:36
so if we take the rope, we'll, we'll keep the XLR cable, 'cause that's really, you know, the important stuff, but we'll use the rope.
52:45
Um, we can attach it.
52:47
We can attach the EMP to, like, the ceiling or something, and have it set up as, like, a snare trap.
24:09
Mm-hmm.
24:09
Like, I gave all the players, uh, a whole press kit of, like, a pitch deck of what this games is.
24:16
I highlighted in bold the, like, confrontations can happen, we have safety tools, we have a safety coordinator here.
24:23
If character bleed happens, please stop at any time if you feel some type of way.
24:27
I'm more than welcome to redo any scenes if you feel unsatisfied or anything in something like- I gave so many options to make sure they felt safe at the table.
24:36
And again, I went into my casting, too, that everyone in there has...
24:40
I have seen them play characters that have died, or they have been part of PVPs before, or they understand what The Hunger Games is and stuff.

48:30
... uh, you know, a more traditional art, whatever, um, different creatives and kind of having that transfer of your vision to their hands, so to speak?
80:44
Yeah.
80:45
Probab- probably.
80:46
So all right, um, I'm still trying to break down this conflict that we have going on right now.
80:52
So we...
80:52
I, I feel like it's a semi-safe assumption to say that Him and whoever specifically it is that kind of began that organization had to have broken off from Mother, it seems, um, or from Her, rather.
81:17
Um, because if it...
81:21
It seems like Him, uh, operating as an outside force, but with this knowledge of this thing that has clearly been here for who knows how long.

93:53
They appear to be wearing something a little bit, uh, more closely related to the Russians that you saw.
78:25
And you see Hamilton sort of have like a momentary short circuit, like very brief, but just like is having trouble computing this new found information.
78:37
Yeah.
78:39
So if it's a last resort and they're still concerned for mother, I'm I'm wondering if the Russians were the threat or if there was another threat.
78:54
that they just got caught in the crossfire of.
78:58
That's one of my biggest concerns about this whole situation is if this was supposed to be a last ditch effort, defense system why was it deployed when honestly the giant mechanical anaconda probably could have taken out a couple of them like there's a lot of other defenses that are here that aren't considered like a last resort that are just in the area that could kill stuff

119:16
they seem dormant
119:19
Well, this is obviously some kind of DNA robotic cybernetic bio hacking research going on.
119:30
Are we literally in Jurassic Park? I don't think so.
18:08
The camera pans over to a quiet but our fourth member of the Dial T for Truth crew, Trevor Jennings.
18:19
So Trevor, he is a tall and very handsome fellow.
18:27
He was brought into the group as kind of like the survivor man.
18:32
So like a lot of these expeditions go out in the wilderness and his whole thing is Like, he's a man of the land.
18:43
So he's very...
18:45
He's got muscle, but it's super, super lean.
18:48
It's somebody who lives off of the land.

39 MINS LATER

Can you give me a little snippet of what that would sound like?
