This is Epic! an epic adventure a moment of truth a wild ride Oh My God! sliding on ice still moving, still moving HAHAHAHAHA! amazing! every moment counts right into the belly of the beast we’re going to get our gold we’re either all in or all out a circular pattern ship is adrift keep pulling, keep pulling expect the unexpected forecast is bad decide to give it one more shot we don’t want her to sink today Oh My Gosh! unpredictable current too strong for them an urgent call Good job! gold in Greenland it’s going she’s underway recover the anchor & chain Do or die we’re loggers--not psychiatrists he’s full of piss & vinegar we’re getting beat up in this boat at the mercy of the elements the gold feeling I’m good—we’re out of here Let’s do it! muddy seabed sleep on that for awhile a dinghy…coming straight through to y’all he’s seen enough the clock ticks searching for a golden shipwreck we’re losing air every moment counts what the hell is going on? I ain’t gonna die running out of time forecast is bad closure not an option It’s go time! [Forget] this!
search or die for amazing shipwrecks a murky epic feeling Good wildmen don’t sleep on the job semi gold is adrift every time chasing jackknifed cows on icy roads Oh my Cow! epic absurdity searching for sinking gold dissolving in viral weather optional closure in Greenland Oh the frozen minds inexplicably adrift streaming viral weather going in no time yet on time? divers wave at epic forecasters amazing rescue slide on highways thru hell a race against the elements in these scenes of Reality
