[Nate]: No, you just -- no, that button there. No, the other one.
[A voice]: I already pushed that one, it's not --
[Nate]: No, the one just, just look, it's right -- it's a video camera, not rocket science.
[A voice]: There's a red light. Is that bad?
[Nate]: Red means rolling. You're rolling? Shit, get that thing on my face. I mean -- shit, I didn't mean to swear. We can edit this stuff, right?
[Nate]: Welcome to another riveting episode of The Great Mysteries of Wotmania, where we take you inside the stories behind the stories. I'm your ever-journalistic host, Nate, and today we --
[A voice]: The name's not right anymore, you know that right? There's no more Wotmania.
[Nate]: Um. Well, right. It's a, uh, an homage to ... well, come on. The Great Mysteries of ReadAndFindOut.com doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? The Great Mysteries of RAFO? The site's existed for a month, there are no great mysteries yet. You just ... God, you ruin everything. Turn that off.
[A voice]: I'm not sure ...
[Nate]: I swear, man. It's just the same one as before, it's -- I'm not gonna break it, just hold the damn thing still already I'll --
[Cut] (indicated by ---- )
[Nate]: On this episode of The Great Mysteries of RAFOmania, we dare to step behind the curtain and ask a question that has bedeviled wotmaniacs and RAFOnauts alike for most of a decade: who is TaskmasterJack? The name is known to all, but the man behind the text is known to only a select few in this world, each sworn to more secrecy than the last. To begin our investigation, we've paid a visit to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a noted expert in the field ... of awesomeness.
[Nate]: Governor Schwarzenegger, thank you for not having your security personnel kick our asses.
[Arnold]: They are always kicking asses. If I let their life become predictable, they will be weak, and they will fail me. What did you say you wanted?
[Nate]: We're researching the truth behind the man, the legend -- TaskmasterJack. What is truth? What is fiction?
[Arnold]: In fiction, I can bend steel with a single hand. In truth I must use both. This is the difference between fiction and truth. Truth is a little harder to do, that is all. In fiction, I jump onto the helicopters. In truth they bring them down to the ground for me, but then I make them go back up just a little so I can do a small jump. This is the difference between truth and fiction.
[Nate]: Fascinating. But what about TaskmasterJack?
[Arnold]: Well, some people call him the space cowboy.
[Nate]: What?
[Arnold]: Some people call him the space cowboy, yeah.
